Speaker 3: be at the big kids table.

21
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: Well, longtime viewers know I have an exceptionally long tourso

22
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: so everyone has to, you know, literally up their game

23
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: in order to equalize with me. So it's really my fault,

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: not so yeah.

25
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: It's all about Crystal stores.

26
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 4: Though, well, Christ to start the show this morning.

27
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, we do the big show though, because the

28
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: protests are continuing, not just in Los Angeles now, they're

29
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: spreading around the entire country. New York is seeing some protesting,

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: Atlanta is seeing some protesting. And we have some video

31
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: clips both from Los Angeles and around the country to

32
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: start the show off with today, and we'll break down

33
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: the updates the latter's updates in the clashes between those cities,

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: particularly again between Los Angeles, California and the Trump administration.

35
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 3: Because Crystal, this new cycle is not slowing down.

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, not at all, And I'm interested to get your thoughts.

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: Be your first chance on the show this week to

38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: weigh in. Trump also gave rather disturbing, in my opinion,

39
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: a speech in front of troops at Fork Bragg yesterday.

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: And it's all kind of part and parcel building up

41
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: to this big military parade this weekend that happens to

42
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: be on President Trump's birthday. We've got tanks rolling into DC.

43
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: We've got some footage of that, and widespread protests planned

44
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: for that day as well. Trump saying that those protests

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: are going to be met with force, really not making

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: a distinction between whether they are violent or peaceful protesters.

47
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: So extremely ominous developments that we can report on this morning.

48
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: We've also got speaking of ominous, strange video that was

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: put out by TOOLSI I'm curious your take Emily on

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: what is going on there behind the scenes. But she's

51
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: warning rightfully so about the dire consequences of nuclear war,

52
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: and of course comes at a time of dramatic escalation

53
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: between Ukraine and Russia, so that will be an interesting

54
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: one to get to.

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what's happening right now in Ukraine is

56
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: also just sort of being buried. I'm not saying wrongly,

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: But in the domestic news cycle, we have a really

58
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: crowded news cycle. So we have updates actually on some

59
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: more deadly attacks that we will cover, especially in that

60
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: block and Crystal Stephen A. Smith on the Daily Show.

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: We have a clip that everyone is definitely going to

62
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: enjoy enjoy, But if you hear Steven A. Smith on

63
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: the Daily Show, then you already know that you're joined

64
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: the clip in all likelihood. And some more updates from

65
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: Zora Mamdanie's race in New York City.

66
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, looks like he has all the momentum will it

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: be enough? Big question there, but some interesting new poll numbers.

68
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: We've also got updates out of Israel. We've got some

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: comments from Greta Tundberg and the wake of her being

70
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: what President Trump calls kidnapped, which I think is accurate

71
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: by Israel and detained there for a while. Some of

72
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: the other activists are still being held in Israel, but

73
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: she's speaking out. We also have some new video of

74
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: the AID horror scene and new reporting about another AID slaughter. Meanwhile,

75
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: my Kakabee, who is our ambassador to Israel, saying, hey,

76
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: we're not too big on this whole two state solution thing,

77
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: really significant change in official US government policy, and we're

78
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: going to be joined this morning by tarn Steinbrckner Kaufman.

79
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: She is an AI expert coming at it from the

80
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: sort of liberal perspective, and so wanted to get her

81
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: take on a bunch of developments. In particular, Meta is

82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: ponying up a massive amount of cash to try to

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: win the race for AGI, or artificial general intelligence. These

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: are extraordinary developments that could upend literally all of our lives.

85
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: So interested to see what Taren has to say about

86
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: all of that.

87
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: Well, Crystal We should also mention that BP free not

88
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: free gasoline, but that free monthly trial is still going on.

100
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: We don't have this bus as an element in the show,

101
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: but apparently Elon I don't know, sometime late last night

102
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: tweet it out that he regards some of the things

103
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: that said about President Trump, so real four going on there.

104
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what times on us in, but it

105
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: came at three or four in the morning, and he

106
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: said exactly what Crystal just mentioned. I regret some of

107
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: my posts about President Trump last week. So I guess

108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: we'll stay tuned.

109
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: For more, Yes, more intrigued there, and I'm sure we

110
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: will continue to cover it all right, let's go ahead

111
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: and get to these ice protests anti ice protests that

112
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: really at this point are spreading across the country. And

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: we've got some video we can put up on the

114
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: screen that shows all the different places where these protests are.

115
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: Now going on.

116
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: You know, to be fair, there had been protests prior

117
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: to this moment, but they've certainly exploded in size and

118
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: scope since you know, things kicked off in LA, and

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: since President Trump decided to send in the National Guard

120
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: and now also deploy the Marines. Word is that the

121
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: Marines are supposed to actually arrive in LA today. This

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: is the some of the images from LA from yesterday.

123
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: We've got New York City, you saw Chicago earlier. I

124
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: know Atlanta had protests as well. I think there are

125
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: just protest plan for even more cities put today and

126
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: going into the weekend, including places like Minnesota. You can

127
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: see Boston here as well. My understanding, Emily, I don't

128
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: know if you saw anything different this morning, but that

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: LA was relatively quiet last night. The mayor imposed a

130
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 2: curfew in the one square mile area of the downtown

131
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: where the protests had been located, centered around that federal

132
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: government building. So she imposed a curfew. I think anyone

133
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: who tried to defy it basically got arrested, and you know,

134
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: I think that's mostly what went down in LA yesterday.

135
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: Here you can see protesters i think, blocking a thoroughfare

136
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles from yesterday, and we also can show

137
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: you fairly disturbing. You know, you're starting to get some

138
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: of the videos from the police response here. And remember

139
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: this is LAPD, this is not the National Guard, and

140
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: they have certainly had an overwhelming show of force. I

141
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: heard Soccer and Ryan talking yesterday about how difficult it

142
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: is to tell actually between the ordinary police and National

143
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: guardsmen or you know, marines, because the local police departments

144
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: are so kitted out with all of this military gear.

145
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: This really happened in the wake after the War on

146
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: Terror and the war in Iraq. All of that military

147
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: equipment started to come home and you know, basically every

148
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: major police department throughout the country now has looks like

149
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: they're going in ready for battle. So in any case,

150
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: to go ahead and show you this video that is

151
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: you know, really going viral, showing a woman who reportedly

152
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: just like lives in the area of where this protests

153
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: were and was trying to get home and approaches a

154
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: line of the LAPD cops who are there on the

155
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: scene doing crowd control, and they pretty much shoot her

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: with some sort of non lethal projectile, probably rub bullet,

157
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: point blank.

158
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and take a look at a little

159
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: bit of that.

160
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: They're telling her a move, but that's a public sidewalk.

161
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: They're telling her to move. Watch if they shoot her. Whoo,

162
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 5: holy fuck, they're gonna shoot.

163
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: We're bling stop, she's anger. Come on, we gotta get

164
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: a pup free.

165
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: So shoot her point blank and she says, I'm just

166
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: trying to get home. We've seen a few incidences that

167
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: are like that. We also showed you previously on the

168
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: show that reporter from Australia who is also hit with

169
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: a rubber bullet. And yeah, they're not going to kill you.

170
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: They're les lethal I think they call them emily, but

171
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: they can do some damage. I've been seeing the injuries

172
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 2: come out in any case. Before we get into the

173
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: latest from Gavin Newsom and Trump's speech and all of that,

174
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 2: just wanted to give you a chance to give kind

175
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: of top line thoughts about what you make of this

176
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: situation and how this is all unfolding.

177
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot. I mean, I think I tend

178
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: to think people have, from a political perspective, a hierarchy

179
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: of priorities, and I think that a lot about Trump.

180
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: We're like analyzing Trump's decisions to do various different things,

181
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: whether it's you know, deporting people for anti Israel op eds,

182
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: students for anti Israel op eds, are attempting to deport

183
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: them for anti Israel op eds, or you know, going

184
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: turning the screws to Harvard in novel ways. I tend

185
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: to think that sometimes it's the people don't like the

186
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: way that Trump approaches the situation, but they still and

187
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: this is a mistake. I think that some like mainstream

188
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: Democrats make the average American still, though doesn't like what

189
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: the actual status quo policy is less. So it's not

190
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: that like people really really are, you know, on board

191
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump militarizing responses to protests and they just

192
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: love it and all of that. I mean, I think

193
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: a lot of average Americans look at that and really

194
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: don't like to see the militarization of like local law enforcement.

195
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: Where to the point that you were saying, Sager and

196
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 3: Ryan were discussing, it looks like they're like in Fallujah

197
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: when they're policing like regular demonstrations, and you know, far

198
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: bit for me to defend the LAPD. Which I'm not

199
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: surprised at all by that video that we just showed,

200
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 3: which I think was sourced from Reddit of a woman

201
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: just getting popped by rubber bullet, which as she's trying

202
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: to get home, doesn't seem to be a threat to anybody,

203
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: isn't with a crowd. So yeah, I don't think anybody

204
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: likes to see those scenes. I honestly personally think that

205
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: when we have tens of thousands, I mean I pulled

206
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: up this Homeland Security report from last year of the

207
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: non detained people on the national Docket or ICE at

208
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: the time. So this was July twenty first, twenty twenty four,

209
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: sixty two thousand people for assault that were non detained,

210
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 3: convicted criminals convicted of assault roaming the country. Same thing

211
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 3: with dangerous drugs is how they classify it, sex crimes

212
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: homicide thirteen thousand people. So I think for a lot

213
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: of Americans, they are probably more similar to me aligned

214
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: on that question of like, there are tens of thousands

215
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: of people who are not detained, who are convicted criminals

216
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: who came into the country, even if they're dropping the

217
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: bucket for you know, I agree with that. I think,

218
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: actually like the Cato Institute statistics are probably correct, the

219
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: pro immigration statistics are probably correct that the average migrant

220
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: commits crimes at a lesser rate than the average world.

221
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't take any issue with those statistics, but I

222
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: think there are a lot of dangers. I see sanctuary

223
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 3: city policies, sanctuary state policies, California basically a sanctuary state.

224
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: I see those as subsidies the cartels, which allow people

225
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: to go into the country and not be detained, not

226
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: be well I should say, I shouldn't say attained, but

227
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: not be deported, And that allowed a lot of trafficking

228
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: of people across the border, and cartel's made money off

229
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 3: of just about every single one of them. So I

230
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: don't like how Trump is approaching it. I also really

231
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: don't like I think I like less how California has

232
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: approached it over the course of the last decade. But

233
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: we likely disagree on that.

234
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: Crystal, Well, well, let's be clear you are at odds

235
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: with Steven Miller on that. Yes, because yes, what he

236
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: explicitly said and the and has implemented through ICE. He

237
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: explicitly said to the leaders of ICE, why are you

238
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: going after criminals? Go to the home depot, go to

239
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: the seven elevens. So the priority is not on dealing with,

240
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: you know, criminals, because the problem is that, yes, of

241
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: course there is some number of undocumented inmmigrants who have

242
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: committed crimes, been convicted of crimes, been accused of crimes,

243
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: et cetera. It is not the millions of people, and

244
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: it would not provide the mass show of force that

245
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: Stephen Miller wants. So you will find very few people,

246
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 2: including myself in this country who say, yes, we want

247
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: to keep the convicted criminal undocumented immigrants. The approach that

248
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: they're taking will make it more difficult to remove the

249
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: actual dangerous individuals that you're speaking about, and instead they

250
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: are targeting the you know, kids, the elementary school graduation,

251
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: the day laborer who's out just trying to get a

252
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: job and has no criminal record whatsoever. That's who they're

253
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: actually going after, and that is what sparked these protests

254
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: in la in particular, which have now really spread across

255
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 2: the country.

256
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 4: You know, the big picture for me here.

257
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: Is we now have a stat of truly authoritarian, terrifying

258
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: actions being taken here by the Trump administration. I mean,

259
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: to bring in the National Guard over the objections of

260
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: local law enforcement to handle some pretty run of the

261
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: mill protests, the type of thing that you see after

262
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: like you know, a football team wins the Super Bowl,

263
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: or a basketball team WINBA Finals or whatever like that's

264
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: where these things started. To call in the National Guard

265
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: over the objections of the governor insane, unprecedented, truly in

266
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: terms of these dynamics. To bring in the Marines is

267
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: utterly deranged. Then you have this speech that we're going

268
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: to show you some clips from here in a moment

269
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: in front of active duty troops getting them to cheer for,

270
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: you know, calling GAVINUS a news scum and going after

271
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: the fake news meeting. I mean, it's just a hyper

272
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: partisan speech that you're getting active duty soldiers behind you

273
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: that you handpicked, by the way to make sure that

274
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: they had the right politics to be behind you to

275
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: cheer for. Then you add to that this military parade

276
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: planned for his birthday for this weekend, where he says

277
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: any protester, not just smiling person, any protesters are going

278
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: to be met with force and you know, the pattern

279
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: is pretty clear here. And then you mentioned some of

280
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: the other actions that have been taken, whether it's the

281
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: you know, arresting students for writing an op ed or

282
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: you know, the attacks on me, the tax on universities,

283
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: all of this amounts to an extraordinarily dangerous authoritarian power grab.

284
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: There is nothing and I'll play the Gavin Newsom sad

285
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: in a moment where he makes this. I believe he

286
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: makes this point in the SOD as well. There is

287
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: nothing that limits this federalizing of the National Guard to

288
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: just LA or to just California, or to just sanctuary

289
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: cities or sanctuary states or wherever it is that you

290
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: know you have a policy issue with them. There is

291
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: no limiting principle on it. And so it certainly seems

292
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: like part of the goal here is to normalize the

293
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: idea that it requires the US military in order to

294
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: just enforce the law. I mean, we showed you the

295
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: clip of the LAPD. They're not coming in all like

296
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: hugs and cuddles. They have thousands of cops. You know,

297
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: the Republicans are supposed to be the ones who are

298
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: all about law enforcement, like they are the ones who

299
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: are actually supposed to be trained to deal with people

300
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: who are lawbreakers, and so the notion that you have

301
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: to bring in marines who are trained for combat to

302
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: be deployed against American citizens is something is I think

303
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: a red line that every it's truly un American and

304
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: is a red line in my opinion that absolutely no

305
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: one should accept.

306
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: This could get worse because to the point that you're making,

307
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: there's protests now popping up all over the place. There

308
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: is no is not necessarily a element on the Trumpet

309
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 3: administration's interest in expanding around the country. If anything, I mean,

310
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: I think the Trump administration is eager to have that,

311
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: and it's because I think the reason, like the political

312
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: explanation for it, and I don't think we disagree on

313
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: the politics from the Trump administration's perspective, but like they

314
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: want to look like they're leaning into this. They want

315
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: to look like the you know, Gavin Newsom. They hope

316
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom gets as much airtime as he can. And

317
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: we actually have a clip of Gavin Newsom giving a

318
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 3: primetime television address last night and have gotten a decent

319
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: It's gotten a decent bit of play just over the

320
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 3: last twelve hours or so so let's actually go ahead

321
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: and roll at e x three to get a taste

322
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: of how Gavin Newsom addressed people last night.

323
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 6: This is about all of us. This is about you.

324
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 6: California maybe first, but it clearly will not end here.

325
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 6: Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under

326
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 6: assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has.

327
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: Arrived, and crystal before we get to the Fort braggspeach,

328
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 3: which we also, as you mentioned, have clips from the

329
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: I just want to say my frustration with that is

330
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: the sanctuary state policies are why it's hard to get

331
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 3: the tens of thousands of convicted criminals, not even people

332
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: with chargers, but just convicted criminals like that. That's why

333
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: it's actually hard for law enforcement to do it, is

334
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: that they're able to be in California and in these

335
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 3: places like it does genuinely make it really hard. And

336
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 3: so I feel like what would be really de escalatory

337
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: is for Gavin Newsom to do what like Muriel Bowser

338
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: has done here in DC and start walking some of

339
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 3: those policy policies back. But now it's just everyone's kind

340
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: of has dug in because a Trump administration responded in

341
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 3: a way that Gavin Newsom politically is responding to in

342
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 3: this way and not entirely without reason. They're calling it

343
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: for his arrest, so you can see why Kavin Newsom

344
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: would react as he did. But we're absolutely no closer

345
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: to solving the legitimate problem. And many such cases, I guess,

346
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: such as the nature of American politics in twenty twenty five.

347
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: Well, I'm pretty sure Texas is not a sanctuary state,

348
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong, And they're using the same

349
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: type of tactics there, the same type of protests are

350
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: being sparked, and there is a a couple of white

351
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 2: cities are I think, like Houston is. But yeah, and

352
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: there are quite a large number relatively equivalent population, you know,

353
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 2: per capital number of undocumented immigrants in Texas as there

354
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: are in California. So, you know, fine, to debate sanctuary

355
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: city and sanctuary state policies, I disagree. I think it's

356
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: important and actually is good for elimination of crime and

357
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: violence to make it so that immigrants feel like they

358
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: can go to the authorities without fearing like they're going to,

359
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: you know, break up their family and be deported out

360
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: of the country.

361
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 4: Fair to criticize, you know.

362
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: To have a debate about that legitimate policy argument, not

363
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: legitimate to send in marines against American citizens who are

364
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: protesting at a time when you know, the governor, when

365
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: their protests are relatively limited, not out of control in

366
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: some way that the LAPD can't handle, and again zooming

367
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: out as part of a broader authoritarian crackdown and power

368
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: grab against dissent overall in this country. And you know,

369
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: I think part of the reason why they're now using

370
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: National Guards so you know, these active duty soldiers with

371
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: semi automatic weapons, they're using them in ice raids now

372
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: in California, I think, is to present an image of criminality,

373
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: because when you see this force coming in, you assume

374
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 2: this must be for some you know, super bad guy,

375
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: super villain to create that impression, even though who you're

376
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: really going after is like, you know, again like a

377
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: day labor at home depot or you know, a mom

378
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 2: with an American citizen kid, and you know, those types

379
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: of more sympathetic cases. So by militarizing the response and

380
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 2: having that look of the masked ICE agents surrounded by

381
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: the kitted up National guardsmen, you can create a perception

382
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 2: that these must be hard and criminals they're going after

383
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: when that is, we know not the case. I mean,

384
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: even the guys they sent to Seacoat to rot in

385
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: a slave labor camp for life, the vast majority of

386
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: them were not criminals in any respect, had no arrest

387
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: record whatsoever. And you have to assume the reason that

388
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 2: they did that is because they just have They just

389
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: there just aren't the number of undocumented criminals that they

390
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: want to project to the nation. So, you know, I

391
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: think Newsome, who I am no fan of in general,

392
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: has actually done an excellent job and a very you know,

393
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: most Democrats are so slow on their feet in terms

394
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: of responding and engaging, and they're only going on the

395
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: mainstream mountlets and only doing these prepackaged things. He gave

396
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: this trimetime address which I thought was relatively effective, but

397
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: he's also been out there mixed it up on Twitter.

398
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: He's done a bunch of different podcasts. He's been very

399
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: aggressive about combating narratives in real time in a way

400
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: that listen, I think his star had really fallen. I

401
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: think he'd really misread the moment early in Trump two

402
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: point zero, and there's just no doubt that this is

403
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: hugely elevating for him. With the Democratic base, and you know,

404
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: definitely makes him more of a contender. Not that that's

405
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: the most important thing right now whatsoever. But we've mentioned

406
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: now a couple of times Trump went to Fort Bragg

407
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: and gave this speech in front of the you know,

408
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 2: the active duty soldiers that are there, hyper partisan, hyper political,

409
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: typical like Trump rally speech, which you know, I know

410
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 2: nobody cares about, like the way things used to be

411
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 2: or the norms. But this is something that would have

412
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: been completely completely unthin thinkable, out of bounds whatsoever, Like

413
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: the idea of soldiers even like overtly expressing partisan political

414
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: beliefs was something that was completely out of bounds until

415
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: you know, really the Trump moment. So let's go ahead

416
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: and take a look at some of how that went down.

417
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 7: And before going further, I want to say a few

418
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 7: words about the situation in Los Angeles, California. Have you

419
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 7: heard of the place where I've deployed thousands of National

420
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 7: Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to protect federal law

421
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 7: enforcement from the attacks of a vicious and violent mob.

422
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 7: And some of the radical left they say, oh, that's

423
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 7: not nice. Well, if we didn't do it, it wouldn't

424
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 7: be a Los Ange it'd be burning today, just like

425
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 7: the houses were burning a number of months ago. Generations

426
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 7: of army heroes did not shed their blood on distant

427
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 7: shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion

428
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 7: and third world lawlessness here at home, like is happening

429
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 7: in California. Commander in Chief, I will.

430
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 3: Not let that happen.

431
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 7: It's never going to happen in Los Angeles. The governor

432
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 7: of California and the mayor of Los Angeles, they're incompetent,

433
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 7: and they paid troublemakers, agitators and insurrectionists. They're engaged in

434
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 7: this willful attempt to nullify federal law and aid the

435
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 7: occupation of the city by criminal invaders.

436
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: That's what it is.

437
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 7: Very simply, we will liberate Los Angeles and make it free,

438
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 7: clean and safe again.

439
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 4: It's happening very quickly.

440
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 7: But they proudly carry the flags of other countries, but

441
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 7: they don't carry the American flag.

442
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 6: They only burn it.

443
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 8: Did you see a lot of the flags being burned.

444
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 7: They weren't being burned by people from our country or

445
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 7: from people that love our country. People that burned the

446
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 7: American flag should go to jail for one year.

447
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 3: It's what they should be doing.

448
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: That last piece there, something he has repeated multiple times.

449
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: You know, it has been deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court,

450
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: but I'm sure is a you know, if you pull

451
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 2: it is fairly popular to criminalize the burning of the

452
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: American flag. But in in case, Emily, what do you

453
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: make of the dynamics of the President Derek giving this

454
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: hyperpartisan speech and you know, eliciting cheers and booze from

455
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: the active duty soldiers there.

456
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 3: At Fort Bragg. I agree with what you said as

457
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: we were queuing up the video that it's something if

458
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: Barack Obama did it, if even John McCain did it,

459
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: nobody would be happy to some extent, because it's Donald Trump,

460
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 3: it's something that we're numb to. And I also think

461
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: not without reason, because he's still, at least for now,

462
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: an exception to how he handles a lot of these situations.

463
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: I mean, even I can't envision jd Vance doing anything

464
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 3: quite like that. I can't envision a Democrat who I

465
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 3: think would do anything quite like that. But we don't

466
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: really know what happens to these norms after Donald Trump

467
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 3: is no longer president. So yeah, it's just one of

468
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: the sisters, like, I don't know if this is something

469
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: that we are still in this like temporary Trump moment,

470
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: or if this is something that continues afterwards.

471
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: I think that's a good point because perhaps at this moment,

472
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 2: he's the only one who can get away with this,

473
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: treating the military as his own personal army effectively, and

474
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: that's certainly the way that he wants them to behave,

475
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: that's certainly the way people want to perceive them, and

476
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: maybe now at this moment, because he's so outrageous in

477
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: so many regards, he's the only one who can even

478
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: remotely get away with that. But once that bridge is

479
00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: crossed and that approach to you know, the military deploying

480
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 2: the military against US citizens and routinely using Marines for

481
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: law enforcement in American cities, once that sort of thing

482
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: becomes normalized, then it doesn't just stay with Trump. There's

483
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 2: a bridge that's crossed and a genie that's out of

484
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: the bottle that's very hard, if not impossible, to put

485
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: back in. And I think that's what is so incredibly

486
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: alarming to be and others about this moment. It just

487
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: give you a little bit of backstory. Jane Cousten was

488
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: able to obtain the sort of like memo that went

489
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: out about how they picked these guys to be standing

490
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 2: there behind Trump. She got this note that says they

491
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 2: need everyone seated by this time. Soldiers sitting in the

492
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 2: bleachers are to be fit and not look fat. Classic

493
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: soldiers in the bleachers will not be allowed to have water,

494
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: so they must hydrate in no colored patches. If any

495
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the

496
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: current administration, and they don't want to be in the

497
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: audience and they need to speak with their leadership and

498
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: get swapped out. Basically, they don't want soldiers not audio

499
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: is rolling their eyes or shaking their head in disagreement,

500
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: et cetera. So they basically put out like a casting

501
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: call here to get the you know, the guys with

502
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: the right political views are going to be loyal to Trump,

503
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: who aren't going to be rolling their eyes or shaking

504
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: their head or you know, not enthusiastic enough, not cheering

505
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: and laughing and applauding at the laugh lines and the

506
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 2: cheer lines, et cetera. And so that was how they,

507
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 2: you know, were able to create this this moment, this

508
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: authoritarian strongman moment for president Trump where it appears like

509
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: the military is serving as his sort of like you know,

510
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: personal uh, marching band, cheerleaders, his his force directly rather

511
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: than the servants and protectors of the American people. There

512
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: were also I mentioned before, he's got this military parade

513
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: coming up this weekend in DC. That is going to

514
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: be a very you know, that's going to be a

515
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: troubling moment because he announced in the Oval Office yesterday

516
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: that those any protests, which they're already protests planned for Saturday,

517
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: for that day, that any protest will be met with force,

518
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: making no distinction between peaceful and violent protesters.

519
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and take a listen to that.

520
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 7: Maybe there a little bit, but it seems to be

521
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 7: getting less and less because they're going there. They met

522
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 7: with a very heavy force, and if they weren't, you

523
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 7: would have that say right now, would be on fire.

524
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 7: It would be burning down the rest of it, what's

525
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 7: left over, because the other fire was started because they

526
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 7: wouldn't allow water into LA. They wouldn't allow water into

527
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 7: California because they had it all shifted out to the

528
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 7: Pacific Ocean. Then I turned it around, called him up

529
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 7: to tell him kind to do a better job. He's

530
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 7: doing a bad job, causing a lot of death and

531
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 7: a lot of potential death. If we didn't send out

532
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 7: the National Guard, and last time we gave him a

533
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 7: little additional help, you would have Los Angeles would be

534
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 7: burning right now.

535
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 6: The reaction to these large scale height operations in Los Angeles,

536
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 6: should people expect to see similar operations in the.

537
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 8: Rest of the country and we'll similar protests.

538
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 7: The out and what was always as you know, we're

539
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 7: moving murders out of our country that we're put here

540
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 7: by Biden or the Autopen.

541
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 8: The Autopen really did.

542
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 7: A very simple rule of engagement. If they're dangerous, if

543
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 7: they're throwing concrete or bricks, if they're spitting in the

544
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 7: face of the police or whoever's in front of them,

545
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 7: if they're punching people, if they're doing all of the

546
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 7: things that you see done for the last three nights,

547
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 7: that I would say is engagement.

548
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: So that was actually more specifically about what's going on

549
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: in California. I think we have the sought for the

550
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: next block about the military parade where he says, you know, protesters,

551
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: we met with overwhelming force, but you know he's making

552
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: these claims, say oh La California and beyond fire if

553
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: we hadn't sent the National guardsmen. The reality is most

554
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: of the National guardsmen that have been sent I think

555
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: it's like four thousand at this point, have not been

556
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: given orders, are not really doing doing much of anything.

557
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: In fact, local law enforcement LAPD is having a divert

558
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: resources to protect the National cartsman who've been given no orders,

559
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: in nothing to do, which underscores the fact that, I mean,

560
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: even Trump himself has said that things have quieted down

561
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: in LA. Of course he wants to take credit for it,

562
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: but underscores the fact that, as Newsome and Karen Bass

563
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: have been saying, the scope of the protests which were

564
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: within like largely within like one square mile a few

565
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: city blocks in downtown LA, were well within the capability

566
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: of the LAPD to handle. And you know, bringing in

567
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: the National Guard did nothing but inflame tensions and make

568
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: the protests much larger than they would have been otherwise.

569
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: So also to the point Crystal about where this goes

570
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 3: from here, let's put a two on the screen. This

571
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: is an indication that the protests are going to continue

572
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: to spread to other cities. As a report from NBC News,

573
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: we should also go through a three. This is Jennifer

574
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 3: Griffin of Fox News noting that the seven hundred Marines

575
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: ordered to help in LA have not yet arrived to

576
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 3: help control the riots. The Marines will remain at Seal

577
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: Beach south of LA and will be undergoing training for

578
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: a few more days, which Crystal. A few more days

579
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: of training in a situation like this sounds like a

580
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: delay that's intentional to make it look like the Marines

581
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: were involved without ever actually putting the Marines in the situation.

582
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: Because after a few days of training, which is already

583
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: rather nebulous, I don't know that they actually are going

584
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: to find a situation where they put the Marines in

585
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. So that's an interesting one to watch as well.

586
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 3: It almost is like Pete haig Seth wanted to respond

587
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 3: to Donald Trump's suggestion and said, Okay, We've got the

588
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: Marines on it, and they're they're undergoing their training for

589
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: you know, civil unrest, and then while the riot's over.

590
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean the reporting I saw as are

591
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: supposed to arrive today, so we'll see. I hope that

592
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: your analysis is the correct one. It also just underscores

593
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: the case like Marines are not trained for crowd control.

594
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: They are trained for offensive combat missions, not to go

595
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: in and act in a law enforcement enforcement capacity against

596
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: American citizens. So, like I said that, what I saw

597
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: is that they're meant to arrive today. We'll see what

598
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: happens there and what use they're put to.

599
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 3: And if they're already arriving after the mayor has implemented

600
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: a curfew.

601
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: Curfew that basically quieted down. Now, I do think there's

602
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: another major flashpoint this weekend with the protests, and you know,

603
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: ice rates are continuing. What I read in the La

604
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: Times this morning is they're actually expanding outside of the

605
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: city into more rural areas, you know, going after farm

606
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: daily laborers and things of that nature. So you know,

607
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: the ice rates are not going to stop. So the

608
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: provocation that originally sparked the protests are not going to

609
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: end either. So you know, certainly the conflagration, I think

610
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: it's way too early to say that that is over.

611
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 2: There's a lot of reasons to still be really concerned

612
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 2: about where this is all headed.

613
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: Now.

614
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,959
Speaker 2: There has been some some legal action that we wanted

615
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: to update you on. Gavin Newsom put this up on

616
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: the screen. Voden emergency motion to block Trump's I believe

617
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 2: and he agrees a legal deployment of Marines and National

618
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: Guard in LA. He was asking for this a decision

619
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: to be made on this and a tro to be

620
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: issued within two hours. The judge said, no, we're not

621
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 2: going to issue a tro in the timeframe that you want. Instead,

622
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: a hearing is set for Thursday to consider the merits

623
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: of the lawsuit here. And you know, in terms of

624
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: the legality, Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act, which

625
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 2: would give him much more broad powers. Instead, he used

626
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 2: these it's called Title ten powers that seem on their

627
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: face to require the consent and for the governor to

628
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 2: actually be the one that issues the order to federalize

629
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 2: the National Guard, I mean, the deployment of the Marines.

630
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 4: I don't even know.

631
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: What legal pretext they are using to justify any sort

632
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: of use of the Marines in a law enforcement setting

633
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: in LA. So that seems to be to be even

634
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: more tenuous. But we'll see what the courts have to

635
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: say about all of this.

636
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 3: Well, christ to say, actually we have a five. This

637
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 3: is the next element to put on the screen. This

638
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 3: is from the San Francisco Chronicle, reporting that says, we

639
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 3: obtained a memo from DHS Secretary Christie no I'm asking

640
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: d D Secretary Pete Haigsatz the grant soldiers the authority

641
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: to detain or arrest quote unquote lawbreakers in LA. This

642
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 3: would be a step towards the Trump administration invoking the

643
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 3: Insurrection Act. Experts say, so to the question that you

644
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: just raised, are they trying to pave the path to

645
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: the Insurrection Act with some of this? I think is

646
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: an open question as well, especially with the reporting and

647
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 3: actually what we saw last night about expansions into other cities.

648
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 4: I think it's quite likely.

649
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: In a six Stephen Miller has been really leading the

650
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: sort of propaganda charge, and he says here that this

651
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: is the definition of insurrection. LA and California leadership demand

652
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: the right to illegally import unlimited foreigners into America, to

653
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: control America's entire immigration policy by FIAT, and if they're

654
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: not so permitted, they'll allow mobs to target Ice with

655
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: impunter I mean, this is just absurd. First of all,

656
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: you know, we we've had court rulings at this point.

657
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: Steven Miller is always using the language of invasion. We've

658
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 2: had multiple courts rule at this point in the context

659
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: of alien enemies ec this is not an invasion. This

660
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 2: is you know, absurd, like, this is way beyond the

661
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: bounds of what that language would imply. And it's not

662
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: like Newsome and Bass were standing in the way of

663
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: Ice rates. You know, he makes it sound like they

664
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: were blocking lawn for the ICE from doing anything and

665
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: going in and you know, deporting immigrant. That's just not

666
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: the case whatsoever. But I think the important thing here

667
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: is the use of the word insurrection and the attempt

668
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: to lay the groundwork, the rhetorical groundwork to build up

669
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 2: to an invocation of the Insurrection Act, which I've been

670
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 2: pointing out. On Day one, Trumpet signed an executive order saying, hey,

671
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: check into it was Christy Doom and a couple other

672
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: off I think heg Seth, I don't remember a couple

673
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: other officials. Hey do an analysis and tell me whether

674
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: I should invoke the Insurrection Act now. So he's been

675
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: looking for an excuse to do this. We've also got

676
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: reporting now that he's been from the jump looking for

677
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 2: a pretext in order to send in federalized National Guard,

678
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: send in troops, potentially invoke the Insurrection Act. So I

679
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: certainly think it is very likely that we are building

680
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: up to exactly that, especially as protests build in cities,

681
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: in blue cities across the country.

682
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: In particular, you pulled out this quote from a Wall

683
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: Street Journal report yesterday. This is a seven that basically

684
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: it shows this is I'll read it. In Coral Springs, Florida,

685
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: at least eight agents and tactical gear shields and rifles

686
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 3: surrounded a home with guns raised to arrest a father

687
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: with no criminal history. And Irvine, California, ICE agents drove

688
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 3: a phalanx of military vehicles in the Orange County suburb

689
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: to arrest a person, though not for legal immigration. They

690
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: were seeking a resident son who had allegedly posted flyers

691
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: alerting neighbors to the presence of ICE agents. Crystal, that

692
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: goes to the point that you were making earlier in

693
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 3: the block about actually whether some of these excessive and

694
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 3: arguably incompetent instances of trying to subdue you know, either

695
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 3: non criminal aliens or American citizens, does that actually hurt

696
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 3: ultimately the effort to take convicted criminals out of the country.

697
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: For the Trump administration to take tens of thousands of

698
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: convicted criminals out of the country. It's certainly a hell

699
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: of an anecdote there from the Wall Street Journal.

700
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean posting flyers is clearly protected First Amendment activity.

701
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 2: And so you're sending in a failanx of military vehicles

702
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: to go after someone's son who posted some flyers. I mean,

703
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 2: this is insane and I think you know the first

704
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 2: instance was with regard to it was in Florida, again

705
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: not a sanctuary state, but they felt that the numbers,

706
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 2: Steven Miller felt that the numbers were too low when

707
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: they were largely focusing on, you know, trying to find

708
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: criminal undocumented immigrants. So they are taking much more aggressive tactics.

709
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: As we've discussed before, part of the plan here is

710
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: to be so insane, so cruel, so over the top

711
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: that you scare people into self deporting themselves. That was

712
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 2: the point of Seacott. There are also plans now that

713
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: have been reported out to send thousands more immigrants, largely

714
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: actually European immigrants to Guantanamo Bay. And so you know

715
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 2: this is the goal, and it ties in also with

716
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 2: the quote unquote big Beautiful Bill, which would provide vastly

717
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: more resources to ICE, both in terms of manpower and

718
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 2: in terms of partnering with private prison contractors to build

719
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: out these massed attention facilities. So you know, these shows

720
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 2: of force are very intentional, even though they are in

721
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 2: certain instances unconstitutional and wildly, wildly unnecessary. Again, I do

722
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 2: think part of that is when you have this show

723
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 2: of huge numbers of agents coming in fully kitted out

724
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: in military vehicles, you know, with their military gear, the

725
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: public perception of some is so they must be going

726
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: after a criminal, even when it's a dad with no

727
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 2: criminal record, even when it's a sun for posting flyers.

728
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: So this is, you know, this imagery and this approach,

729
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: it's all very intentional. I also find it really disturbing

730
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 2: the way that they the ICE agents have taken too

731
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,479
Speaker 2: oftentimes wearing plane clothes and fully masking and obscuring their

732
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 2: their face. And I think that is, you know, deeply

733
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: un American and deeply disturbing, and it's led to some instances.

734
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: Already there was a there have been a couple instances

735
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 2: I've seen where people have posed as ICE agents and

736
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 2: in order to themselves commit crimes. The other thing that

737
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 2: I think it's important to note is they've diverted resources

738
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: in the FBI and other you know, law enforcement agencies

739
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: within the federal government to this mass deportation effort which

740
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 2: takes them off of other the ability to go after

741
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: other criminal activity. So, you know, back to your original

742
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: point about what you would like to see happen at

743
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 2: how you'd like to see this focus on, you know,

744
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: getting people who have committed crimes and who are on

745
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 2: documented immigrants out of the country. That is not at all,

746
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 2: you know, they do not at all have a focus

747
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: on criminals, whether it's undocumented or otherwise.

748
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 4: Instead, the focus really is.

749
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: On creating the sense of terror and horror among the

750
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: entire immigrant community so that people will themselves self deport

751
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: so that their base will get the red meat that

752
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: they want, and also, I think partly to try to

753
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, to trigger a reaction from the public that

754
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: justifies even more of an authoritarian crackdown, which is exactly

755
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 2: what we're seeing unfold right now.

756
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 3: It's a very frightening state of affairs because I actually

757
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 3: am sympathetic to a lot of these agents like our

758
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 3: run of the mill and were likely to disgroun on

759
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: this run of the mill ice agent who you know

760
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 3: has a family, is trying to provide for them and

761
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: is getting you know, videotaped and shot all over social

762
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 3: media all of that. But it's part of the job

763
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 3: at this point. And so it's one of the frustrating

764
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 3: things I think about the Trump era in general is

765
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 3: that the responses to a lot of I think legitimate

766
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 3: problems and problems with you know, I would say like

767
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: sympathetic at least from my perspective on the right problems,

768
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: the reaction is it does go and sometimes, like you

769
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 3: use the phrase anti American, I mean, I do think

770
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: having masked law enforcement officers pulled people off the streets

771
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 3: is and some of them have been citizens, by the way.

772
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 3: We've seen videos of that, so you know, it's it's

773
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 3: a fright state of affairs when you have people who

774
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: are in the country illegally not even wanting to show

775
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 3: up to the court hearings because they're deporting people at

776
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 3: the court hearings, which again it's another sort of like

777
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: get it if it's your job to deport people who

778
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 3: are overseeing visas and are in the country illegally, But

779
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 3: then people don't even participate in the process anymore because

780
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: they're afraid of being deported. So it's setting up they

781
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 3: as a response to a very legitimate crisis I think

782
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: created by the buy An administration. It's it's setting us

783
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: up for a lot of unrest. I feel like, actually, Crystal,

784
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 3: this this really is just the beginning. But uh, we've

785
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 3: earned a laugh. So I think we should watch the

786
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 3: Waymos fleeing.

787
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: Yes, wamos are exiting La here they are full service

788
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 2: in downtown La amid ice protest. The Waymos are fleeing

789
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: the scene after a new novel protest tactic of summoning wamos.

790
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize, to be honest with you, that

791
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: WEIMO use was as widespread as it is in California.

792
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: But to be honest, that's that's kind of interesting of itself.

793
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 3: But the tactic is summoning the Waymos.

794
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 4: To like them on fire.

795
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: So it's kind of funny.

796
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 4: It is kind of funny, kind of funny. What I said,

797
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 4: don't do what I said.

798
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if this was on air air, but

799
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: what I was saying is like, listen, if we have

800
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 2: an organized war against the robots, I'm here for it, Like, yes,

801
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 2: let's do that. But if we're just doing this as

802
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: like I am one who I'm not particularly sympathetic to

803
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 2: the usefulness of setting a weamo on fire and jumping

804
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: on top.

805
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 4: Of it with a Mexican flag. Look, I get it.

806
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm not like it's not a moral issue, but I

807
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: don't think that it is. You can see the way

808
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 2: the Trump administration is like jumped on these images and

809
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: absolutely loves them. So it's not the most helpful thing

810
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 2: in the world, no.

811
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 3: But the way most fleeing in unison, I think it's

812
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 3: just helpful from a levity perspective because we could all

813
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 3: use it. At this point, Christal, we've talked a lot

814
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 3: actually about the expected military parade here in Washington, DC

815
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 3: on Saturday, So let's get to the updates on that story.

816
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 3: Massive presence here in Washington. There are lots of videos

817
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 3: going viral. You can see it of tanks being loaded

818
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 3: in brought on flatbeds to the city. Let's go ahead

819
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 3: and listen to what Donald Trump had to say about

820
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 3: this yesterday.

821
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 8: We can roll b one celebrating big on Saturday, We're

822
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 8: gonna have a lot of and if there's any protesters

823
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 8: once to come out, they will be met with very

824
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 8: big force. By the way, for those people that want

825
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 8: to protest, They're going to be met with very big force.

826
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 8: And I haven't even heard about a protest, but you know,

827
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 8: this is people that hate our country, but they will

828
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 8: be met with very heavy force.

829
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 3: All right, So estimated price tag between twenty five and

830
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: forty five million dollars. We can start dozing.

831
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 2: Bring elon and the chainsaw back. Let's doje it.

832
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 3: Here's B two. You can actually see why the price

833
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 3: tage just as high as it is. This is tanks

834
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 3: rolling into DC, the Washington Monument in the background. It's

835
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 3: going to be down I believe Constitution Avenue on Saturday

836
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 3: between like six and nine pm I think is roughly

837
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 3: when it's scheduled to go for And this is yeah,

838
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 3: I mean you're you're looking at tanks rolling down the

839
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 3: streets now, Crystal. Before we tossed to whether the roads

840
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 3: are equipped to handle this, that's a different question. Trump

841
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 3: the legend here. Everyone remembers Trump tried to do this

842
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: in his first term after going to France seeing a

843
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 3: French military parade and wanting to bring it back to

844
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 3: the United States. People like Gematis were uncomfortable with it.

845
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 3: In Trump one point zero. But now Trump is you know,

846
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 3: much more staff by loyalist Pete Hegseth is an obvious

847
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 3: example of that. People who are ideologically aligned with him

848
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 3: and aligned with sort of going along with his mission,

849
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 3: or they're aligned with that sort of that loyalty to Trump.

850
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 3: Let's put it that way, and have really no hesitation

851
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: about going along with this. There is a scheduled day

852
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 3: of defiance or a planned day of defiance, more protests

853
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 3: on Saturday. The Washington Post is reporting this is B three.

854
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 3: We've heard about this actually since Trump said he was

855
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 3: going to do the military parade here in DC. We've

856
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 3: heard that they're actually needing to put metal plates, and

857
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: I've seen some of them. Actually, they're not fun if

858
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 3: you're like biking around, but they've had to reinforce the

859
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 3: road with metal plates to prevent damage. When you have

860
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 3: one hundred vehicles in addition to, as the Post reports,

861
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 3: thousands of soldiers, dozens of tanks, and more than one

862
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 3: hundred other vehicles scheduled for that procession along Constitution Avenue.

863
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 3: The gross weight so the ones that are supported by

864
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 3: the government, that can be supported by the government vehicles

865
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 3: would be eighty thousand pounds, but the Abrams tanks each

866
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 3: way about seventy tons. There's twenty eight of those planning

867
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 3: that the administration is planning to roll down in the

868
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 3: parade again for the Army's two hundred and fiftieth birthday,

869
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 3: which I will say actually is on Saturday. It actually

870
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 3: does coincide with Donald Trump's birthday and Saturday in the summer,

871
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 3: sort of a I don't know Chrystal, whether that's an

872
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: unfortunate coincidence for Trump, it's clearly a fortunate coincidence, But

873
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 3: I think he would be doing something for the Army's

874
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 3: two hundred and fiftieth birthday, to be honest, anyway, he

875
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: really wanted to have this military parade. Maybe what would

876
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 3: the what would the QAnon people say about that? Maybe

877
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 3: there's something we're supposed to be reading into this, something.

878
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 2: I've lost I've lost the threat a bit with where

879
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 2: the QAnon people are at this point. I think there's

880
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,959
Speaker 2: splinter factions. I know there are some who had turned

881
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 2: on Michael Flynn, some who were still, you know, still

882
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 2: in league with Michael Flynn.

883
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 4: So I've lost touch a little bit with with where

884
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 4: they are at this point.

885
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 2: They're probably out there justifying Palentiner, taking all of our

886
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 2: data and creating this giant panopticon as somehow fighting the

887
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 2: deep state is probably what they're up to at this point.

888
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 3: But trust I mean process.

889
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 2: Listen, if this was a one off and you were

890
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 2: just having military parade and there wasn't not guardsmen who'd

891
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 2: been federalized over the objections of the California governor in

892
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 2: the street, marines being deployed against American citizens, a US

893
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 2: congresswoman who was just indicted on charges that could get

894
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 2: hurt seventeen years in prison. By the way, if you

895
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: didn't have Trump out there saying that we are going

896
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,720
Speaker 2: to meet protesters with overwhelming force, making no distinction between

897
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 2: whether they were peaceful or whether they were violent, maybe

898
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 2: then you'd go. And that's a waste of money. It's

899
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,479
Speaker 2: going to mess up the DC streets, which really don't

900
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: need that. You know, DC budget really doesn't need the

901
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: extra tens of millions of dollars is going to take

902
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: to repair the damage, et cetera.

903
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 4: But is it the biggest deal in the world.

904
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 2: No. When you put all of those pieces together, it

905
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 2: really does feel like you are building to a crescendo

906
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 2: of authoritarian power grab sorry, fascist imagery that is quite

907
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 2: intentional and quite frightening and quite overwhelming. And that's not

908
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 2: even to mention the things that we talked about before,

909
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: the attacks on public universities, the crushing of descent and

910
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 2: free speech. The counter terrors are basically framing anyone who

911
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: is a protester of any of these administration's policies as

912
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: providing material support for terrorists. The afore mentioned Talenteer database

913
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 2: that seeks to surveil and compile all of the data

914
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 2: on everyone who's in the country, you at, citizen and

915
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 2: not so that that crushing of descent can be wielded

916
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: much more effectively. When you put all of these pieces together,

917
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: troubling does not begin to describe it. And so I

918
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 2: think this is a very fraught, combustible moment with potentially

919
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: dire and far reaching consequences for the direction that this

920
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: country goes in. And especially, you know, when you do

921
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 2: have large scale protests that have been pre planned, which

922
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 2: you know, people should have the right to protest their government.

923
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: That's kind of, you know, a core American value. When

924
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 2: you have those protests planned, when you already have Trump

925
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 2: and Stephen Miller and others providing the rhetorical justification to

926
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 2: launch this mass crackdown. I think everyone, I don't care

927
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 2: where you are on the political spectrum, I think everyone

928
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 2: should be deeply concerned for what that means for your rights,

929
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 2: for the rights of you know, your friend's family, your neighbors,

930
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 2: for your ability to dissent from anything this government or

931
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 2: a future regime does as well. I think we're on

932
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: very very treacherous ground and that it will be difficult

933
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 2: to walk back from some of the things that are

934
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 2: being done right now.

935
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: In this time.

936
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 3: Let's put before on the screen. This is a local

937
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 3: news breakdown of the expected cost here. So Trump has

938
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 3: said on Meet the Press that the cost is peanuts

939
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 3: compared to the value of doing it, but again that

940
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 3: number is potentially as high as forty five million dollars,

941
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 3: and they broke down even like six teen million of

942
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 3: that could come from just repairing the roads afterwards. So

943
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 3: you know, they're also advertising really heavily in the area

944
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 3: within like five hours of DC, roughly five hours of DC,

945
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 3: trying to get people to come to it. I think

946
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 3: that's another open question about this. What we can look

947
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 3: at here on B five is counter protests that are

948
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 3: planned to spread throughout the country, and one of the

949
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 3: things Crystal. Building on what you were just talking about,

950
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: I wanted to mention is these are being rallied, These

951
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 3: are being organized under the banner of No Kings, and

952
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 3: so if you look at the map here there are

953
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 3: planned counter protests all over the country, but no Kings.

954
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 3: I think it's really interesting branding. And I think it's

955
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 3: really interesting branding for a counter protest movement Jax opposed

956
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 3: with the resistance movement of twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,

957
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 3: twenty twenty because No Kings is implicitly and inherently patriotic,

958
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 3: and I think appeals to the patriotism of the average

959
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 3: American in a way that resistance never did. So I'm

960
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 3: curious what you make of that, Crystal, because I think, uh,

961
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 3: that's actually a very for the left. Positive development.

962
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is a smart framing and I

963
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 2: think app and that the cat has just joined.

964
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 4: As you see behind.

965
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 2: Kings except for Salem, except for Salem, and Salem as

966
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 2: are that's definitely the king in this household.

967
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 4: But No, I think it is. I think it is

968
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 4: intelligent branding.

969
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 2: And this is why you know, I know Soger and

970
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 2: it seems like you feel like, oh, the crackdown in LA,

971
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 2: like this is going to play into Trump's hands. And

972
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 2: you know, I'm like really leery at this point of

973
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 2: offering political predictions because I think things have been so

974
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 2: difficult to predict ultimately.

975
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 4: But I don't. I think this is too much, too fast.

976
00:54:55,040 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 2: Where the fears of Trump and the worst, you know,

977
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 2: worst concerns, the gravest concerns about how this man would

978
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 2: behave if you gave him the power of the presidency

979
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 2: again are just undeniably present. You know, if you look

980
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 2: at the polling, people are not crazy about the protesters.

981
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 2: People are never crazy about protesters. Although actually, with the

982
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 2: exception of the BLM protesters, they were overwhelmingly popular. But

983
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 2: even if you look back at like the Civil Rights movement,

984
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 2: you know, those protesters were also not popular. If you

985
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:32,439
Speaker 2: look at Trump's response to it, using marines against protesters,

986
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 2: wildly unpopular. His ratings on immigration still okay, they're his

987
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 2: best ratings, but he's barely above water if he is

988
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 2: at all. That's in like the best polls. Some of

989
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 2: the polls find his deportation like ratings even on things

990
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 2: like deportations deeply underwater.

991
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 4: Americans they don't want a king.

992
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 2: I do think there is a reaction against this, very

993
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 2: clear like power grab, and there are so much in

994
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 2: the floods of the zone strategy that is hitting people

995
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: in the face right now that I would not be

996
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: so confident if I was the Republicans that this politically

997
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 2: is to their benefit. Now, maybe their plan is for

998
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 2: it not really to matter that much what the American

999
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 2: people think about it. Maybe their plan is to continue

1000
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 2: with their power grab such that dissent is crushed, that

1001
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: there is limited ability to voice your concerns electorally. I'm

1002
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 2: not talking like, oh, they're going to cancel elections or whatever,

1003
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 2: but you can see scenarios where the pretext of crushing

1004
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 2: protests is used to take control of some of the

1005
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 2: voting apparatus.

1006
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 4: You could certainly.

1007
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's very easy to imagine situations where they

1008
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 2: just outright reject whatever the election results are that are

1009
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 2: unfavorable to them. So maybe they don't particularly care about

1010
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 2: the politics of it, but to the extent they do,

1011
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: I think this is much more treacherous than they imagine,

1012
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 2: especially when you know the reality of what who is

1013
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 2: being deported in the way that it's being handled. Is

1014
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 2: staring people in the face. You know, they're having to

1015
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 2: grapple with the pregnant mom who's married to an American citizen,

1016
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 2: or the you know, the dad with no criminal record

1017
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 2: who has all the agents show up at his house,

1018
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: or the son who's just like posting flyers and is

1019
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 2: being met with this insane use of force. Because the

1020
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is emily that there is no

1021
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 2: ability to do a mass deportation strategy that doesn't involve

1022
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 2: a massive police state that is going to impact literally everyone,

1023
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 2: and I think we've already seen that with the crushing

1024
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 2: of the you know, the pro Palestine dissent, because by definition,

1025
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 2: you have to sore down, okay, who is citizen and

1026
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: who is non citizen. That means that you were going

1027
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 2: to have to you know, inquire and have your surhil

1028
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 2: and state hit citizens as well.

1029
00:57:58,440 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 4: The money that's in the.

1030
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: Budget for the big beautiful bill for ice for detention centers,

1031
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 2: there's no way to just keep that confined to whatever

1032
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 2: population it is. I think it's mostly like, you know,

1033
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 2: if you look at the pulling people very comfortable as

1034
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 2: they should be with deporting like criminal and documented immigrants.

1035
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: You go beyond that the numbers actually really fall off

1036
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 2: a cliff. And when you ask specifically about people have

1037
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 2: no criminal record who have been here for a long time,

1038
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 2: I'm talking it's like seventy five twenty five that people

1039
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 2: feel like, why are you.

1040
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 4: Messing with these people?

1041
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 2: They are just like living their lives and not causing

1042
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: people any kind of harm. So again, maybe they don't

1043
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 2: care about the politics, which is what is a terrifying

1044
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: I think in real possibility. But to the extent they do,

1045
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 2: I don't think they are as on nearly as firm

1046
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 2: a ground as they feel they are right now.

1047
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 3: No, I mean I think they care about the politics.

1048
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 3: I think they're also some of them are very online.

1049
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 3: But I actually I also still think on the narrow

1050
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 3: question of the riots, I do think it's I do

1051
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 3: more soccer on that life, like it's it's helpful to

1052
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 3: Trump because people like Gavin Newsom still haven't addressed the

1053
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 3: problem that voters care more about in a satisfactory way.

1054
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 3: But that aside, the no kingsing is really interesting to

1055
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 3: me because I feel like that's sort of this man

1056
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 3: is having a forty five million dollar, potentially forty five

1057
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 3: million dollar military parade, happens to fall on his birthday,

1058
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 3: and he is like in some cases encouraging snowflakery from

1059
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 3: like law enforcement that has to cover their faces and

1060
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 3: anti americanly. I think there's something that Dems can tap

1061
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 3: into that is almost emasculating, but not in the way

1062
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 3: that the Resistance thought that they had him by claiming

1063
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 3: there was a pe tape and you know, having those

1064
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 3: disgusting blow up balloons of him everywhere he went where

1065
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 3: it was like naked, it was just weird, didn't work,

1066
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 3: and Crystal, you know this because you live outside of DC,

1067
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: like there was something. There is something very real for

1068
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 3: a lot of people who maybe don't love Trump but

1069
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 3: continue to vote for him and continue to sympathize with

1070
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 3: him or agree with him over Democrats on some of

1071
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 3: these culture war questions because they do love America. The

1072
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 3: people can disagree with this, but they feel like Trump

1073
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 3: loves America. And again, you could disagree with that. You

1074
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 3: can hate that everything's wrong, but that's something that people

1075
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 3: like about Trump is that he seems to like the country.

1076
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 3: And I do think that's a mistake that Democrats made

1077
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 3: in the resistance era was not meeting so many people

1078
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 3: where they are on that question, and it allowed them

1079
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 3: to look unpatriotic and allowed the American people to think

1080
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 3: that they're unpatriotic because they weren't kind of leading with

1081
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 3: that question in particular. And I think that's why the

1082
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 3: No King's branding is actually very very smart for the left.

1083
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, I mean, I think that it is an

1084
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 2: intelligent branding, and especially I mean, this is the way

1085
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 2: he behaves in everything, you know, even with the tariffs,

1086
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 2: wanting people to come and like, yeah, been the knee,

1087
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 2: you know, he wants to make it so that Fema

1088
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 2: is ad is dispatched at his bequest, you know. Is

1089
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 2: this is the way that he operates in every respect,

1090
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 2: and so when you put the label on it, all

1091
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 2: these pieces fit together, including the use of the American

1092
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 2: US military as his own private force. Secretary of the

1093
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 2: Army actually called it Trump's army or his army this

1094
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 2: morning on Fox News. So they really are pushing that

1095
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 2: and trying to normalize that sense that this is a

1096
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 2: force that should be wielded at the whims of the president,

1097
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 2: which is not the way that obviously that is fundamentally

1098
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 2: anti American, un American, and that is consistent with the

1099
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 2: way that a king would behave, not a duly elected

1100
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 2: president of the United States. So yeah, I agree with

1101
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 2: you that I think it's it's intelligent branding. We'll see

1102
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 2: how widespread the protests are, We'll see what the crackdown

1103
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 2: is going to be. And the last thing I'll say

1104
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 2: on this is I also think that there is just

1105
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 2: something deeply disturbing about watching all of these tanks being

1106
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 2: rolled into DC that hits on a visceral level as well.

1107
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about the optics of the protests

1108
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 2: and what people take from that, et cetera. And you know,

1109
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 2: I'm not one that says like, oh, that doesn't matter

1110
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 2: and we can't talk about or whatever. But I think

1111
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 2: equally damning are the optics of tanks rolling into the

1112
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 2: nation's capital for a celebration of the president's birthday. That's

1113
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 2: just with many people, that is just not going to

1114
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 2: sit right.

1115
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 3: Speaking of the Teriffs, brothers, tiny bit of news on

1116
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 3: this front, actually massive bit of news in this front.

1117
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 3: Trump has posted while we were recording Crystal that the

1118
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 3: deal with China is done, subject to final approval with

1119
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 3: President Sheet and me full magnets and any necessary rare

1120
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 3: earth will be supplied upfront by China. Likewise, we will

1121
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 3: provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students

1122
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 3: using our colleges and universities, which has always been good

1123
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 3: with me, he says. And we're getting a total of

1124
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 3: fifty five percent tariff. China is getting ten percent, And

1125
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 3: of course he ends his post in my favorite sign off,

1126
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 3: thank you for your attention to this matter. So, Chris, so,

1127
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 3: thank you for your attention to this matter.

1128
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they apparently really I guess didn't think through

1129
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 2: the whole rare Earth situation. Kind of freaked out about that.

1130
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 2: So that is interesting. I'm sure Soccer and I'll dig

1131
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 2: into that more tomorrow. I feel like we talked too

1132
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 2: long about la and Trump, So maybe should we should

1133
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 2: we skip over Tulsi and her weird nuclear warning video

1134
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 2: and jump straight ahead to John Stewart.

1135
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 3: What do you think people can look up the weird

1136
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 3: Tulsi video. They should look up the weird Tulsi video.

1137
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 3: There would have there's maybe we'll talk about it on Friday,

1138
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 3: but there's there's some interesting stuff to dig into.

1139
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 4: It is a good Friday topic. Yeah, let's do it.

1140
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 4: Let's do it for Friday.

1141
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the response to it is like probably even

1142
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: more unhinged video. But to me, top line take, this

1143
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 2: is like what happens when you have someone who is

1144
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: an influencer put in a position of power. They never

1145
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: really let go of their and my quick take hold

1146
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:51,919
Speaker 2: on the influencer world.

1147
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 3: My quick take is that Tulsi's freaked out by all

1148
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 3: of the deep sit people that she works with now

1149
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 3: and we should mention before we let the guoks. We

1150
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 3: teast it up at the top crysal that there have

1151
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 3: been significant escalations in the Russia Ukraine conflict that are

1152
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 3: getting buried in the domestic news cycle. The BBC headline

1153
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 3: this morning is record number of drone attacks signals dangerous,

1154
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 3: dangerous shift in the war, large gale, Russian droone attacks

1155
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 3: on Ukrainian cities are on the rise. There was a

1156
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 3: bombardment Monday night, and so this is not We've covered

1157
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 3: this many times in the last couple of weeks, but

1158
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 3: this is not de escalating with the presidency that promised

1159
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 3: to end it in twenty four hours, even if that

1160
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 3: was sarcastic or hyperbolic. We are into June here, so

1161
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 3: about six months in so nothing seems to sadly, there

1162
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 3: does not seem to be a light at the end

1163
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 3: of the tunnel. Yeah.

1164
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 2: Indeed, indeed, a very very troubling situation and series of

1165
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 2: escalatory actions that we've been watching unfold there, you know,

1166
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 2: with the with the Russians, but with the Ukrainian drone

1167
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 2: swarm attack inside of Russia, and now Russia responding with

1168
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 2: an aggressive attack directly on Kievs.

1169
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 3: And Telsa Gabbert's video. The connective to she was that

1170
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 3: she was talking warning about the imminent

1171
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 4: Threat of the consequences of nuclear war exactly
