1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,599 Speaker 1: Hey, Michael, I had to stop listening to your show 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: this morning as I went into work to teach at 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: a community college and I found out that they use 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: Amazon Web Service to host the on campus network. My 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: students were supposed to have their midterm exam today. They 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: were highly upset when this gen X instructor told him 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: to pull out a pencil and pen and I gave 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: it to him. Be a hard tuppy. 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: What do you know what I discovered last night? Dragon? 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: Did you see the emails from our support teams. 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 3: Right that the talkbacks used the Amazon Web service. Yeah? Yeah, 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: we could have told you that at eight o'clock. 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 2: Well, that was my assumption, but I didn't wake them. 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: I didn't want to make an assumption. And you know, 15 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: but I kind of chuckled when I got that because 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: we were joking about it yesterday. And turns out, yeah, 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: sure enough. So the entire the entire backbone of our 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: infrastructure all depends upon Jeff Bezos. Think about that. 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 4: Yay. 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 2: Then there's the story about the I find the whole 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 2: Louver robbery fascinating, but probably not for the reason you 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: think I find it fascinating. I find it fascinating because 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 2: imagine that you are, you know, you're the executive director 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: or whatever they call you know, there's probably a board 25 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: of directors. There's an executive director, there's you know, the 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: there's the curator of different parts of the you know, 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: the museum and the and the louver is a if 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: you've never been there, there's there's this huge plaza and 29 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: this glass entrance that you go into. And by the way, 30 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: if you ever go and you think you're going to 31 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: see the Mona Lisa, uh, let me just tell you 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: that if you really truly want to see the Mona Lisa, 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: make a telescope with you. 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: Isn't it like the size of a posted stamp. 35 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: It's about the size of one of these monitors. It's 36 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: you know what what what what of these are these. 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 3: Eight and a half by eleven? 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, about eight half by eleven And of course it's set, 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: you know, back so that you can't touch her or 40 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: get near it. 41 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: And you throw a can of soup at it, well and. 42 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 2: You and I think they may have put the plexiglass 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: over it so if somebody does throw something, it won't 44 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: destroy it or hurt it. And the crowds are just like, 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's like it's like a Broncos game 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: or a Paul McCartney concert or something. So you either 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: have to plan to just patiently work your way up, 48 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: knowing that there are thousands of people behind you trying 49 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: to work their way up too. So it's kind of 50 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: like Chevy Chevy Va Chevy Chase in vacation, where you know, 51 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: they pull up to the Grand Canyon, they jump out 52 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: and they look back and forth and says and then 53 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: Chevy says, Okay, just get in the van and go 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: and they keep going. That's that's kind of how you 55 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: see the Mona Lisa. It's kind of how my granddaughter 56 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: and I saw it. She wanted to see Monette Starry 57 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: Night in the Museum of Modern Art in the moment, 58 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: and after following the directions on the maps, which turned 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: out to be wrong because even though it showed an 60 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: opening to get to Gallery five Oho one, they had 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: blocked and made it one way, so we had to 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: retrace our steps and go back, so we did a 63 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: double thing, and then when we got there it was 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: just like the Mona Lisa. It was like and you know, 65 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: I threw my camera, my phone up and took a 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: picture of it, just so I could show the crowds. 67 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: Send it to Tammer because we've seen them on a 68 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: Lisa and look Simona Lisa all over again. But it 69 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: was my granddaughter, so we worked our way up so 70 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: she could actually get close to it and see it. 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: And you know, it was fine. But the louver, back 72 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: to the louver, it's it's this monstrous museum. Now imagine 73 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: and I'm sure like most museums, like most things in 74 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: all around the world, now everything's under construction, everything's being remodeled, 75 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: everything is being rebuilt. Everything you know, there's there's like, 76 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: by the way, dragon, do you like speaking of remodeling, 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: we can pee in the toilets on the fourth floor, 78 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: but we can't pee in the urinals on the. 79 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 5: Fourth I'd be wary of that because they don't fully flush. 80 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 2: The urals don't flush at all. 81 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 5: Correct, but the toilets they just like a trickle of water. 82 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 5: They don't fully Oh yesterday when I did it, Oh yeah, 83 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 5: it fully flushed. 84 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: Okay, now that was yesterday, and that was yesterday morning. 85 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: So maybe maybe the time you go in the afternoon, 86 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: it's not doing anything. I don't know. 87 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: I've been told that the women's works though, oh on. 88 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: The fourth floor. Correct, yeah, oh well we have too 89 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: many women on the fourth floor, so I won't be 90 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: able to go try it. So all this can instruction 91 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: is always going on. Everyone's fascinating, you know. It's the 92 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: Napoleonic jewels. They steal these jewels in broad daylight. And 93 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 2: apparently we now have some camera footage from somebody's iPhone 94 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: of the thieves actually cutting into the cases and getting them. 95 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: And I don't get it, but there were no cameras. 96 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: There are no cameras in this particular wing or particular 97 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: gallery where the Napoleonic jewels were kept. I think I've 98 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: seen them, but I don't remember anything about them because 99 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: I was too focused on the Mona. Lisa. 100 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 5: How din't these security people that you designed the Louver 101 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 5: seen any bank robbery movie ever? I mean, seriously, why 102 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 5: why don't you have cameras in where the jewels are? 103 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: Yes, but in fact, it cost. 104 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: Like The Lover, I'd have cameras in every single room. 105 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 5: Everybody saw the Thomas Crown Affair, Ocean's eleven, the Italian Job. 106 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, people, I think a moment, I 107 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: think I think there were cameras, and you know, because 108 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: I'm one of those guys that goes in and I 109 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: look for the cameras. I always look at the just 110 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: I'm always curious about what kind of security systems places have. 111 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: Well in in the louver robbery, they pull a crane 112 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: up and they're disguised as or dressed as construction workers. 113 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 2: And here's what fascinates me. People see them. They pull 114 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: a crane up. They you know, they do the chair 115 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: lift whatever you call it, that you know, gets them 116 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: up to the window. They start cutting the window out 117 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: and then they you know, they crawl inside and you know, 118 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: maybe maybe they repel down the wall. I don't know 119 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: what they do when they get inside. Maybe they drop 120 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: a ladder. But they're just acting like construction people. Was 121 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: there nobody in the building at all, even a security 122 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: guard that would they would stop and think to ask. 123 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: Nobody told me that there was going to be construction crews. 124 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 5: There was a social media trend something or other the 125 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 5: few years back where a couple of guys with yellow 126 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 5: work vests and a ladder proved that they could get 127 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 5: into anywhere because they had work vests and a ladder, 128 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 5: lives walked right in security even opened the doors for 129 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 5: these people. 130 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I can totally see it. 131 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: I can too. I just find it interesting that in 132 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: a place as secure as the like, I can see 133 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: that happening here easily. Yeah. In the louver, however, you 134 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 2: would think that a security guard would have been told 135 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: by management, by the way, be extra careful today because 136 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: a construction crew is coming in and there will be 137 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: some distractions, and we don't want you distracted by the 138 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: construction crew. You would think, yeah, And then you would 139 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: think that the security guard himself or herself would think, 140 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: wait a minute, nobody when we gathered, you know, when 141 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: we checked in for our shift today, nobody, you know, 142 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: has you know, kind of like you know, the cops 143 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: gather up in the in the briefing room, and you know, 144 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: the captain tells them what's going on that day. You 145 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: would have thought that the supervisor would have said, oh, 146 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: by the way, in gallery number four eighty seven, you 147 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: know where the Napoleonic jewels are, there's going to be 148 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: a construction crew. And you would have thought too that 149 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: somebody would have thought, wait a minute, nobody told us 150 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: about this in the briefing and get on the radio 151 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: and say, can somebody confirm that, you know, we have 152 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: supposed to have a construction crew today. I just find 153 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 2: that lack it's it's a lack of situational awareness. It's 154 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 2: just that we are so accustomed, so busy, and and frankly, 155 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 2: you just don't give a ratsass that that kind of 156 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 2: stuff is able to get get done. That's what fascinates 157 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: me about that. But then that's not the big story 158 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: of the day. In terms of thieves. I noticed the 159 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: Napoleonic jewels. I know they're priceless. They're insured for, however, 160 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: many millions of dollars, but they're nonetheless priceless. Why is 161 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: something priceless, Well, one of many reasons why something is 162 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: priceless is because there's not a market for it. The 163 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: market has to be a billionaire, you know, a multi 164 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: billionaire who could afford to pay the thieves for it 165 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: and just keeps the jewels in his private collection to just, 166 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: you know, claim that I have the Napoleonic jewels. But 167 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: you know, you can't really put them on display, you 168 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: can't offer them. You know, you can't say, hey, I'd 169 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: like to contribute to the Museum of Modern Art. The 170 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: Napoleonic jewels or to you know some you know, some 171 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: Denver museum. You can't really do that, so you just 172 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: have to keep them, enjoy them for yourselves. Maybe they're 173 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 2: going to collect the insurance money. You know, at some 174 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: point the insurance company's going to pay out. And you 175 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: know if if, and most of these insurance companies that 176 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: ensure things like that will pay off, no questions ask. Now. 177 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: Of course they'll have investigators that will try to track 178 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: you down and get you, but they just want the 179 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 2: jewels back, and they're willing to pay just to get 180 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: the jewels back. But that's not the big story. The 181 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: big story of the day comes to us from Union City, Ohio. Yes, 182 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: this is where the real robbery took place. Two men 183 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: were arrested after the popost so they stole more than 184 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: three hundred pounds of meat, as well as pies and bread. 185 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: Now I'm not so concerned about the pies and bread, 186 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: although you know, a nice apple cherry pie, lemon merangue 187 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: pie sounds pretty good. Pumpkin yeah, well, you know, have 188 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 2: you seen all the stupid memes of the big tough 189 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: guys walking into a Starbucks? Or maybe it's actual commercials 190 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: walking to Starbucks and ordering, Yeah, give me a coffee, 191 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: give me an Americano, give me a coffee black. And 192 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 2: then they hand the barista a little note that says, 193 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 2: I really want a pumpkin spice latte. Blah blah blah, 194 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: and they wink at each other and okay, Captain Rogers, 195 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: you know, and Captain Roger walks up and smiles real 196 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: big and goes out and steps his pumpkin latte. Pretty clever, 197 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: but it's also what I think about pumpkin everything. I'm 198 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: tired of the pumpkin spice. And it's really not even 199 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: that time of year yet. The Union City Police Department 200 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: said the officers responded to a call reporting that the 201 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 2: Union City Help Center's freezer had been broken into.

They were arrested and 207 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 2: booked into the Randolph County Jails. That's where the money 208 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: is stealing meat. I woke up to every more. I 209 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 2: haven't read Today's New York Times yet. I'm sorry, but 210 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: I haven't done my job yet. But I do get 211 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: an email every day from The New York Times telling 212 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: me about what they want me to read, as if 213 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: it's a newspaper. Maybe I'll make my own choice. But 214 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: here is the subject line opinion today, Life under the 215 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: threat of deportation. Since the early days of his second term, 216 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 2: President Trump has made good on his promise to ruthlessly 217 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 2: pursue the millions of undocumented people in the United States. 218 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 2: Images of immigration and Customs enforcement officers and neighborhoods, courthouses 219 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: and workplaces arresting and deporting people are part of the 220 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: daily news now. Yet these scenes captured just a small 221 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: fraction of what it is to be an undocumented person 222 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: in America today. Ruthlessly pursue millions of undocumented people oh neighborhoods, courthouses, workplaces. 223 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: Then the paragraph continues. In a new illustrated series Separation 224 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: the Pulager Prize winning duo Jake Halpern and Michael Sloan 225 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: well the New York Times Win's a Pulleter nobody cares 226 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: bring that reality to life. Halpern follows one teenager and 227 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: his family of mixed status Honduran migrants in New York City. 228 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: Some of them are citizens, some have pending asylum cases, 229 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: others are undocumented as they navigate the ever shifting landscape 230 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: of immigration. Their mixed status put some of the children 231 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: at risk of being separated from their families if ice 232 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: comes knocking on the door. But amid the legal chaos, 233 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: life unfolds, school work, birthdays, being a teenager. Halburn's in 234 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: depth in reporting involves hours of interview interviews with the 235 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: family and their immigration lawyer, pouring over their legal documents 236 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: and family photos which are used to inform Sloan's illustrations. 237 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: This is the first installment in a series. Halper and 238 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: Sloan will tell the family story as it unfolds over 239 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: the next few months. Dummies, you just put your names 240 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: in the New York Times that some of you are 241 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: undocumented and here illegally. You just put a target on 242 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: your back. That's the first point I would make. The 243 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: second point I would make is this The New York 244 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: Times is now setting up what will be the reason 245 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: that we should not docu that we should not deport anybody. 246 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: In fact, we should just grant amnesty to everyone, because 247 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: we'll look at this mixed family. Some are here legally, 248 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: some of them are actually citizens, some have pending asylum cases, 249 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: others are undocumented, and now they have to navigate the 250 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: ever shifting landscape of immigration. Whose fault is that? Why 251 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: do they have to deal with this? Oh, because we're 252 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: actually enforcing the law. Oh, because you made the choice 253 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: to come here illegally. And now I'm supposed to be heartbroken. 254 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: I'm supposed to have like, oh this deep felt sympathy. Look, 255 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. I understand why people come here. 256 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: I understand why they cross their bio grand I understand 257 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: why they sneaked in through dulls. I understand why they 258 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: crossed the Canadian border. I understand all of that. But 259 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: don't ask me to feel sorry for them. They made 260 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: a choice, and their choice was to knowingly, wilthily and 261 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: unlawfully enter the United States without authorization, which is a misdemeanor. 262 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: And then if they crossed back into their home country 263 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: because oh I forgot my favorite blouse and now I'm 264 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: coming back in and I come back in a second 265 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: time unlawfully.

They to attack 340 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 8: Levine while he was on the ground. 341 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: These are animals, They're literally just animals running in the wild. 342 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 2: This is the generation. And I know this is a 343 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 2: broad sweeping charge here, and I understand that, but nonetheless, 344 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: and I know in any group of people you're going 345 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: to have, you know, ten percent are going to be bad, 346 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: but I think this might be more than ten percent. 347 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: And whatever the percentage is, the raw numbers themselves really 348 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 2: speak poorly for how we're raising kids in this country. 349 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 8: And then proceeded to rob him of his sneakers and 350 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 8: his watch. The group then after the robbery and assault 351 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 8: of Ethan Levine, they walked in the direction of where 352 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 8: another crime occurred within minutes. You have heard of this crime. 353 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 8: Edward Krusin, nineteen year old doze person who was working 354 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 8: in the administration was walking a young woman to her 355 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 8: car when he was approached in the fourteen hundred block 356 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 8: of Swan Street Northwest. Approximately ten suspects approached him, and 357 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 8: as they did, he pushed the young woman into the 358 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 8: car and he was protecting her from the group before 359 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 8: he was then attacked by multiple suspects who then punched 360 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 8: him repeatedly, causing significant injuries to him. 361 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 6: They got him on the ground. 362 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 8: And as they were doing so, they demanded the car 363 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 8: from the woman who was inside the car and had 364 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 8: already locked the car. They were banging on the car, 365 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 8: They were pulling the car door trying to get the 366 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 8: car open, and were telling the woman in the car 367 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 8: to hand over the keys. 368 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: I like the way she describes it because I conveys 369 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: how it must feel you have wild animals. They must 370 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 2: just be hyenas, just wild animals attacking just you know, 371 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 2: looking for fresh kills just whatever they can get and 372 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 2: banging on the car windows, trying to break the windows, 373 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: trying to get into the car, stomping, beating. I mean, 374 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,479 Speaker 2: they're animals, Let's be honest. They're just animals. And I 375 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: want you to remember that because when she gets to 376 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: the part about the judge or the judges, this is 377 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: where it's so infuriating. 378 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 6: Ah. 379 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 8: And the woman was, as I said, able to lock 380 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 8: the car doors, so they were unable to gain entry. 381 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 8: And it was fortuitous that someone from the Metropolitan Police 382 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 8: Department was on patrol. 383 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 6: He happened to pull onto. 384 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 8: The block and he witnesses suspects actually assaulting course scene 385 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 8: who was on the ground lying next to the car. 386 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 8: The juvenile fled, but within a short period of time 387 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 8: two fifteen year olds were arrested and they were taken 388 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 8: into the family court by the Attorney General's Office. 389 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 2: That is fifteen year olds, so they're taking a juvenile 390 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: court family court. I would think that based on what 391 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: the police report I presume police report says, and the photographs, 392 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 2: the documentary evidence that they have of the beatings, that 393 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: they would have asked them to be tried. I know 394 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: they're fifteen years old. We're not talking about a murder case. 395 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: We're talking about, you know, a assaultant battery case. Here 396 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: probably fell in the assaultant battery the. 397 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 8: Local Attorney General's office. Now, I think what's significant about 398 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 8: this case is a history of Lawrence Cotton Powell. 399 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 6: I want you to I want you to follow me 400 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 6: on this. 401 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 8: Lawrence Cotton Powell is nineteen years of age. Thou charge 402 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 8: with robbery, first degree robbery, for which he faces fifteen 403 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 8: years in prison.

Judge McClain, a judge 412 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 8: sitting in the Criminal Part in Superior Court with no 413 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 8: criminal background, made a decision to give Cotton Powell probation 414 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 8: in spite of his conviction on a felony attempted robber. 415 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 8: Within thirty one days. By May fourth, Powell re offense. 416 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 8: He's rearrested while he's on probation from the felony, and 417 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 8: he's charged with simple assault and possession of a prohibited 418 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 8: weapon b On May fourth, my office asks that probation 419 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 8: be revoked. But on May sixteenth, that same judge McLean 420 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 8: comes back and releases content Powell and tells him basically, 421 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 8: be a good boy. 422 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: The judicial system, the criminal justice system in this country 423 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 2: is collapsing, and it's collapsing. I know this is one example. 424 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: We could find examples probably anywhere in all fifty seven states. 425 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,719 Speaker 2: So it's collapsing, and it's collapsing because we are electing 426 00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: and appointing these bleeding heart liberals who somehow believe that, oh, 427 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: you know, felony robbery. Well, I'm going to give you 428 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: a probation because I want to give you a second chance. 429 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: He had a chance, and he made a choice, and 430 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: I don't I really don't give a reds. That's what 431 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 2: the circumstances are about his family's background or anything else. 432 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: He made a choice to commit a felony robbery. He 433 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: was convicted of that, and a judge gives him probation 434 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 2: and he goes out, you know, go out and be 435 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: a good boy. And he goes out and commits further 436 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: crimes within thirty days. 437 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 8: On July twenty fourth, he is sentenced to one of 438 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 8: the two misdemeanors that he's charged with. Again, my office 439 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 8: asks for jail time after he victimized yet another person, 440 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 8: And on July twenty fifth, another judge to suspense his 441 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 8: sentence and decides that he should be on probation. So 442 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 8: after a felony of attempted robbery, conviction, after a violation 443 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 8: of probation, after a second crime, after a second conviction, 444 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 8: after no compliance with see SOSA, the judges say, do better, 445 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 8: and they let them go, and guess what, Within ten 446 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 8: days he's at it again with Ethan Levine. 447 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 6: And Edward Korsin. 448 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: That's the judicial system. We can find judges like that 449 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 2: all over the country everywhere. Now they're teenagers, and I 450 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: know that people will argue. I can hear the liberal 451 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: leading hearts. Liberals make their argument right now. Oh but 452 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: if we incarcerate them, they're going to you know, come 453 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: out hardened criminals. Well stop, wait a minute, look at 454 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: them today, they're already hardened criminals.

They can commit felony robbery. Yeah, and judges 461 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: just give them probation when it comes up to a 462 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 2: general election, and you should do what I do. I 463 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: really don't care. I just vote against every single judge 464 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 2: on the retention ballot.

And sometimes if if I I guess I'm 506 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: coming from downtown Denver and it's starting to back up 507 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: around oh, I'd say around Evans or so, and I'm thinking, 508 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: is there a record? Watch? So I flip on the 509 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 2: maps to see how long the delayed lasts, to see 510 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 2: whether or not to bail on university or sometimes all 511 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: bail in university, and they get right back on twenty 512 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: five because I know exactly where the backup is, and 513 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: so I can just keep moving. Is there something wrong 514 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 2: with that? 515 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 7: That's just sad? That's what sad? Why is that sad? 516 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 7: My time is valuable to me. I don't want to 517 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 7: sit in traffic looking at the stupid evs hoping that 518 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 7: the batteries will die on them. I have places to go, 519 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 7: things to do, Judge Piro. 520 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 8: Now the co defendant in this case is an individual 521 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 8: by the name of Anthony Taylor. He charged also with 522 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 8: the same arrest. He is from with the same crimes. 523 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 8: He is from Maryland. He is eighteen years old. We 524 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 8: are unaware of any history as it relates to him. 525 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 8: I want to thank the Metropolitan Police Department. I want 526 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 8: to thank the fact that this department went above and 527 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 8: beyond and worked incredibly hard with the little evidence that 528 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 8: we had to identify two of the perpetrators that were 529 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 8: going to be able to prosecute in criminal court. 530 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 6: And I want to mention and thank the Chief. 531 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 8: And I also want to thank Mayor Bowser for her 532 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 8: assistance in helping us. This is a coordinated effort by 533 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 8: all of us. I also want to thank the marshals 534 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 8: who are here and they'll be speaking to you. 535 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 6: In a minute. 536 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 8: But I again urge the DC Council to reconsider those 537 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 8: trilogy of laws that. 538 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 6: Allow Washington, d c. 539 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 8: To allow these young people to go out and victimize, 540 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 8: revictimize and keep revicto and putting the safety of the 541 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 8: citizens who live, work and visit here at risk. 542 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: But I would have gone further, but then you know, 543 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 2: I understand the limitations the politics. I understand all of that, 544 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 2: and I understand that perhaps the law allows the judges 545 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 2: to grant probation, but it does not require them to 546 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 2: grant probation. And so she calls the judges out, which 547 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 2: I congratulate her for, and she calls for change in 548 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 2: the laws that allows the probation. I just wish she'd 549 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 2: gone one step further and said, and these judges out 550 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 2: of I mean, and I know it's tough, and perhaps 551 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 2: she'd get in trouble for it, but these judges should 552 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 2: not hear these cases. These judges should recuse themselves from 553 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 2: these cases.
