1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: To America. Richard Arnold, Good morning, Mording, Mike. The pivot

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: is on in Minneapolis, obviously pivot.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So how bad is the backlash over what's been

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: happening in Minneapolis, including the ice, immigration and customs enforcement

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: attacks on people, and the killings of course of Renee

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Good and Alex Pretty well, this is true. We've had

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: big storms in recent hours here across what's in the country,

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: and some federal officials in charge of the immigration roundups

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: advice weather officials to avoid using the word ice, stay

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: away from frasers like watch out for ice, because these

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: could be turned into a meme. They suggest that instead

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: of using the word ice, you could say glaze or

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: freezing rain. Just don't say ice. Yeah, Trump now has

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: pulled ahead of ice operations in Minnesota. Group, but Veno,

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 2: he's the one who, along with Homeland Security Chief Christi Nome,

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: immediately called the thirty seven year old Veterans Hospital nurse

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: Alex Pertier domestic terrorists.

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: This individual went and impeded their law enforcement operations, attacked

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: those officers. Yeah, those are lies and all could see

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 2: they were lies. Trump aide Stephen Miller also called Pretty

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: an assassin when the many videos of the killing show

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: that Alex pretty well legally with a concealed weapon, only

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: had his phone in his hand at the time, and

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: acted to protect a woman who was being pushed to

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: the ground by ICE agents. There is a new report

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: just out now that Pretty had a rip broken in

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: a previous encounter with Ice some days earlier. Pears Nomna

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: has held a two hour meeting with Trump and some

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: of his top aides. As Axios quotes the sources saying

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: the President knew the situation was eft and he knew

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: he had to uneffort, so he is putting Tom Holman

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: in charge of ICE in Minnesota. Pulman is the overall

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: borderzar who has also been accused of taking fifty thousand

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: bucks in cash, a claim he denies but has never

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: been resolved really. He replaces Greg Baveno, who would parade

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: around in military style great coat, leading to claims that

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: he was to be a Nazi. Rupert Murdock's New York

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: Post is out today with a front page slamming Trump's

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: Homeland Security chief Christie Nomes. She often dresses up in

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: military style garb as well, maybe puts on the cowboy hat.

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: The Murdock Post says, well, they have a photo of

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: name on the front page right now with the headline

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: ice Bobby. They write, quote and again this is the

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: Rupert Murdock New York Post. Quote, Mister President, the American

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: people did not vote for these scenes, and you can't

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: continue to implore them to not believe their lying eyes.

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: They say it is time to de escalate in Minneapolis. Meantime,

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: some ten Republican lawmakers now are calling for a change

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: as well, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 3: What I think the administration could do better is is

53
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: the tone with which they're describing this that immediately when

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,559
Speaker 3: an incident like this happens, they come out guns blazing

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: that we took out a violet terrorist. Hooray.

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Could do better. John Curtis of Utah, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana,

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: Mike Crape of Idaho, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Tom Tillers

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: of North Carolina, and many others are asking from the

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: Republican side for investigation and oversight. So that's a bit

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: of a change. Even the gun lobby is verbally blasting

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: Trump over the Minnesota response and the claim that maybe

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: Alex Puddy should not have been legally carrying a gun,

63
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: leading comedian John Stewart to say.

64
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: Come on, guys, guns are your whole personality. Guns are

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: your zoom backgrounds, your decorative lapel pins, guns are your

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: Christmas cards. There's no human activity that can't be made

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: better without the pulsing heat of your armorlite best friends.

68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: For some Texas, we cook bacon a little.

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: Differently in most parts.

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: He then jos enter at ten Cruz, wrapping bacon around

71
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: a rifle barrel and blasting away until the bacon is coot.

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Help me out with the run. Help was on its

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: way until it wasn't. Is it again now? Ah No.

74
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: The Murdoch Wall Street Journal says the total number of

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: Iranian anti government protesters killed in recent days is far

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: more than its being reported. That's what I'm hearing also

77
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: from Iranian expats in Los Angeles, the biggest Iranian city

78
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: apart from Tehran. The journal says it could be as

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: many as ten thousand people plus killed. Human rights groups

80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: are saying the total appears to be high than a

81
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: number killed in China's Tiananman Square massacre in nineteen eighty nine.

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: Many protesters appeared to have been shot dead in the streets.

83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: The journal says this is the deadliest rampage in Iran

84
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: since at least the nineteen eighties. This comes as the

85
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: Trump administration has plans to deport at least forty Iranian

86
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: nationals in ice caustody back to Iran, where they fear

87
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: for their lives. They would be the first known deportation

88
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: since As you mentioned, Trump threatened Iran's leaders and told

89
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: protesters that quote help is on the.

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: Way, right, MTE, say Sir Richard Arms Stateside, you mentioned

91
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: the New York Post. The California equivalent, which is the

92
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: California Post, launched yesterday. It's not every day you see

93
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: a new newspaper launching its digital first, but you can't

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: get a hard copy and it's all tabloid and stuff

95
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: like that. So that's underway in California. Other than speaking

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: of California, the thing to watch it starts today. It's

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: a landmark social media addiction trial. The plaintives a nineteen

98
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: year old woman, they identifying her by initials KGM. She

99
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: alledges the design of the platform algorithms left are addicted

100
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: negatively affected her mental health. The defendants are Meta, Byte, Dance,

101
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: and Google. Zuckerberg's apparently going to be called This is

102
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: all happening in the Los Angeles Superior Court, first of

103
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: a wave of cases. The companies have long argued Section

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: two thirty of the Communications Decency Act, passed by Congress

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: back in ninety six, exempts platform or platforms from liability

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: for what third parties post. But at issue in this

107
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: particular case, and this is what makes it so interesting

108
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: design choices about algorithms and notifications. It's in front of

109
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: a jury, which also makes it interesting.

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to

111
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,360
