1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: All media. Do you guys mind if I use dominoes

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: again as a metaphor here, I'm gonna do it anyway.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: So in dominoes, there's a few things you learn as

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: you get better at the game, and just kind of

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 1: knowing strategy and just sort of like court rules, you know,

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: like like the rules been Uno, you know what I'm saying,

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: like where it depended on your circle, Like each each

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: Uno circle got different rules, you feel me, and they

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: aren't vastly different. But you know, there's certain norms right

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: now concerning dominoes. There's tend to get in. That's one

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: of them, you know, which Hugh has ears to hear.

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: I don't feel like explaining it this is a short episode.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: But another one is once you put a domino down,

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: that's it. You cannot take that domino back. You can

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: be like, oh I meant to do this one. Nope,

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: that's the one. It is what it is. You put

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: it down, it is what it is. In addition to that,

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: let's just say you put that down and you scored

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: and you didn't call your points. But if the next

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: person plays their hand before you called your points, you

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: don't get those points. It is what it is you

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: cannot undo that. There is no undoing. But there's one

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: move that causes something that I want to teach y'all,

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: which is called irreputable injury. And what that means is

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: it's the metaphor of like, you can't unscramble this a

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: you cannot undo this mistake. If you do this and

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: we move on, there's no way to fix it. And

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: that's what I want to talk about today, irreputable injury.

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: TAP being with me all right, when I was a child,

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: I believe some one adult in my life did this

31
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: to me. They made me take a toothpaste out, put

32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: it on a napkin, and squeeze everything I could out

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: of that toothpaste tube, just have at it and said

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: that was fun. Right. I was like yeah. They say okay,

35
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: and now put it back in, and I was like

36
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: what They're like, Yeah, once it's out the tube, you

37
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: can't put it back. And what they were trying to

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: tell me about was my words that you really need

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: to choose your words wisely, because once you say them,

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: you could say sorry, you could say all the things

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: you want to say, but it's already out. There is

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: no you can't take your words back. This is something

43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: anybody in some sort of loving romantic relationship. I hope

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: you taken this metaphor. Once you say it, you can't

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: be like, oh I was mad. They okay, I can

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: forgive you, but you still said it. The there's a

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: wonderful book called The Body Keep Score. That's about the

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: psychological damage that stays within our bodies from us going

49
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: through through trauma. The body keeps scoring. Hey listen, no morewalking. No,

50
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: it is what it is. This is what happened now

51
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: in dominoes. What I'm referring to is if you played

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: the wrong bone and we keep playing like we may

53
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: look back and see that I might have scored fifteen,

54
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: you might have scored ten, you might have scored you

55
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: know five, All of us have scored points on this

56
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: and then we looked back and said, wait a minute,

57
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: one of these dominoes don't match where you played a

58
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: three on a two and it doesn't work. That means

59
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: all of our points are null and void. The game's destroyed.

60
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: You can't the hands done nobody dominoes. The game's destroyed.

61
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Do you lose those points you scored since that moment?

62
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: It'd be trying to figure out where that moment was.

63
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: It depends on your room. For us, we just stopped

64
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: the hand to start over. My father would be like

65
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: the whole game's over. You have to start over because

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: there's no way to figure out unless you can remember, Yeah,

67
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: score ten here, I scordion. If you remember what you've

68
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: scored in this in this hand, then yeah, But like

69
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: that is irre irreputable damage. You've destroyed the game by

70
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: playing that wrong thing. We can't undo this. Now, what

71
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: does this have to do with politics? I'm talking about

72
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. You should have known now, you could

73
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: have known this. How the hell would you know? Now?

74
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: In recent rulings in what's called the shadow docket, which

75
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I've gone over in some of the

76
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: full episodes, which are cases that the Supreme Court have

77
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: ruled on. But everybody wasn't there. It wasn't a public hearing.

78
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: They just huddled up and decided. And when you just

79
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: huddle up and decide something, you really don't have to

80
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: defend yourself. You could just say this what we think.

81
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: They don't have to sign their rulings or explain their rulings,

82
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: like things that are in the open court that's what's

83
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: called a shadow docket now, and one of those shadow

84
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: dockets that we are dealing with is the dism antling

85
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: of the Department of Education. Right according to the Trump administration,

86
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: it's not that we're stopping the Department of Education. They're

87
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: saying we're kicking it down to the states. Now here's

88
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: the issue. The Department of Education was set up by

89
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: the Congress. The President don't have the right to end it.

90
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: But what he does have the right to do, according

91
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: to the Congress is fire people USAID. Again, set up

92
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: by the Congress. He ain't got the right to end it.

93
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: What he has the right to do is defund it

94
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: public radio. It's already passed, right, So you can't end

95
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: these things now if gravity still worked. Y'all, remember when

96
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: I talked about what it means to report something on

97
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: the merit. It was in the birthright citizenship episode where

98
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: the President got the Supreme Court to agree that universal

99
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: injunctions are unconstitutional, which was an end around way of

100
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: getting birth right citizenship revoked. Right, So it wasn't getting

101
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: birthright citizenship revoked because on the merit of that this

102
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: is illegal. You can't undo that. But he was able

103
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: to get around it by ending these universal injunctions, which

104
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: you can go listen to the vision from the Land

105
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: episode and the ooh baby, what is you doing? Episode? Now.

106
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: The part that is so bizarre to me is what's

107
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: happening with the Department of Education, Because normally, if gravity

108
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: still worked, why would I rule on something that's an

109
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: end around for you to be able to take apart

110
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: things knowing that if this case was on the merit

111
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: it would be illegal. Does that make sense? Why would

112
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I let you deport people who are citizens based on

113
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: this universal injunction situation, knowing full well that deporting citizens

114
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: is illegal. So if you brought me so all of

115
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: the things that you've done, once the case comes in

116
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: front of me on the merit, it's gonna undo it. All.

117
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: The problem is you don't already scramble the egg, you

118
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: didn't already sent them off. You've done irreputable damage to

119
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: these people's families, to these communities, and to the law.

120
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: I can't undo this. You can't put the toothpaste back

121
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: in the tube. So I shouldn't let you, on a technicality,

122
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: do something that's adjacent to the thing that if I

123
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: let you do it it's already illegal, and I can't

124
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: undo that. This is what's baffling to me about this

125
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Department of Education deal. I am of the belief that, yes,

126
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: the president needs space to cook, but I also believe

127
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: in because this is what we signed up for the

128
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: system of checks and balances. The president doesn't get to

129
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: cook in somebody else's kitchen. The president is playing dominoes

130
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: that come down the line. I don't care how many

131
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: points he scores. Once we look back and say that

132
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: move was illegal, once a court gets in there and says,

133
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: wait a minute, my nigga, you was not allowed to

134
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: do this. The damage is done. Families done been separated,

135
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: schools done fell apart, people done lost their jobs. And

136
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: since you end in the social safety net, people falling

137
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: into poverty, they losing their insurance. You've done undone Medicaid.

138
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: So there is an irreputable damage that is happening to this.

139
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: And if gravity worked, that would have been a defense

140
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: against allowing these things to happen. The executive branch would

141
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: not be allowed, even if on the strength of the

142
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: case they're actually bringing, they have a point. I get

143
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: to say word because, like we talked about before, I'm

144
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna look you in the face. Justice Soda Mayor said, listen,

145
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: the second, the second you ask me about birthright citizenship,

146
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what you're doing is illegal, to

147
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 1: which the Trump administration said, I'm just not going to

148
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: ask you. Then it seemed that simple, But I'll ask

149
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: you this question that allows me to effectively do the

150
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: thing that I want to do. Of course, you can't

151
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: take a part Department of Education. That's not within your power.

152
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: But I do have the power to fire people, and

153
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: this state doesn't have the right to tell me I

154
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: can't fire people. But if you do that, you have

155
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: ostensively ended flex the power that you don't actually have.

156
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: So if you would have just came in here and

157
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: asked me, can I end the Department of Education, I'd

158
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: be like, no, case would have been over. But now

159
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: you just did it. So when you do come back,

160
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: if that case ever does come back, let's say, oh,

161
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: the next administration and we like, the executive can't end this.

162
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court goes, yeah, you're right, the executive can't

163
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: end this. They're like, my nigga, but it's been four years,

164
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: it's already ended. I mean, you got a time machine somewhere.

165
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: So it's not that I have have some sort of

166
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: lesson or solution here. I'm just more like you have

167
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: added to our chart of find out. I personally don't

168
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: believe the fuck around to find out is a ratio.

169
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a cliff. I think you build up

170
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: pressure and then eventually you find out. I'm just saying

171
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: you pushing harder and this is gonna make the find

172
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: out cliff be that much steeper. There's gonna be more

173
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: craggy rocks. Or you just added to the craggy rocks

174
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: that we for to find out, and by definition of

175
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: this law principle, this can't be undone. But maybe there's

176
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: a way to put toothpaste back into the tube. The

177
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: only way I can think of it's slicing open the

178
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: bottom of the tube and shoving it up its butt.

179
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: But I think if you did that it would never

180
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: be the same. The damage is done. Well, tap in

181
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: with
