Right, isn't that 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:18.360 what the show we're doing is? 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.240 This is it could happen here executive disorder. 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.160 Oh I guess I have Executive Dysphonia. 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.120 Our weekly newscast covering what's happening in the White House, 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.560 the crumbling world, and what it means for you. I'm 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.520 Garrison Davis. That was Robert Evans, also joined by James Stout, 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.800 with a segment later on by Mia Wong. This episode 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:41.800 we are covering the week of March eleventh to March eighteenth. 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.560 And I was wrong about dysphonia. That's just horseness. 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.360 Okay, well yeah, that probably are people in the executive 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:47.640 branch who who a horse? 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.720 Yeah, yeah, horse and wearing shoes too big for their feet. 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:55.360 We have to start by issuing an apology. 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.920 That's right, a serious apology. 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.960 We have both failed you the odd send ourselves as 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:06.399 an outlet by neglecting to cover a story the way 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.280 that it deserves to. Last week we reported on the 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:16.640 Buffalo wild wings Espresso proteini, that's right, and promised an 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:21.640 in depth report on the drink upon delivery this past weekend, 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:27.400 which was National Expresso Martini Day. And there I was Sunday, 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:32.600 March fifteenth, on my phone googling to find the closest 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.399 Buffalo Wild Wings when I discovered that the Espressoproteini was 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.160 in fact only to be served in five cities. 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.800 Yeah, in Tennessee. 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:49.880 Illinois, Georgia, Texas, and the Sea World location in Orlando, Florida. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.240 And I failed myself and you by not traveling specifically 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.160 to the Sea World location to try the Espresso Proteini, 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.440 which would have been the correct choice, That would have 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.040 been the right to deliver the sort of coverage that 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.000 you expect out of us and deserve. It's going to 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:08.760 take a while to win your trust back, and we 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.240 understand this, and we are we are hoping to be 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.320 able to demonstrate that to you in the coming in 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:14.239 the coming weeks. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.120 Garrett, this isn't all your fault. You know, I knew 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.639 years ago that we should have moved the entire production 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.959 team to the Buffalo Wild Wings at SeaWorld. This was 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.240 a foreseeable mistake. Yeah, you know, Sophie and I are 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.120 to blame for this as well. Is all I'm saying, 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.040 and we apologize then. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.120 Obviously, as a British person in the sea World location 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.280 in Orlando, Florida is our spiritual home, so that really 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.200 should have been at the very center of my bee. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.400 Just imagine how much more sunburnt you could be every 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.880 single day we record this podcast, James. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.720 You could be I'm wearing a red shirt right now 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.200 for this, but you could probably never tell if I 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.440 lived in Orlando, Florida, if I was wearing a red 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.359 shirt or just had extensive sunburns. 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:01.520 Yeah. So yeah, let's go over some small news ite ofs. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.560 Meta is shutting down. It's VR Metaverse Worlds. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.040 On June fifteenth, it. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.040 Stuck being named Metah. 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.679 Yeah, it's the Horizon. Worlds continued to exist as a 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:21.640 mobile phone only application. The metaverse portion is going to 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.040 be sunseted. Like I said on the fifteenth of June. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.359 I'll be on there in June fourteenth, thrown up to 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.920 till midnight. Just it's enjoying my final moments of beauty. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.120 Is there a SeaWorld Orlando that I can visit in 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.440 the Metaverse? I bet there was too soon, James, too soon. 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.120 In the United District of Illinois, Evanston Mayor, Daniel Biss 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.840 beat Kat Abagazzali and Laura Fine. This one over thirty 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.640 five thousand votes. Cat won over thirty one thousand votes 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.920 and find the APAC back to candidate to got twenty 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:55.920 four thousand. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.720 Yeah, you know it's a It was a. It was 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.160 a really impressive first campaign from Kat, who's a friend 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.480 of the show. We're proud of her and her whole team. 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:10.640 And yeah that's politics baby under the next thing, I guess. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.200 Columbia student Laka Cordella was released from ice custody after 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.440 over a year in detention after government lawyers declined to 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:25.320 appeal a judge's third release order. Her name was one 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.000 of the four on the list that Marmon Donnie gave 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.839 to Trump during their last meeting. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.960 Cuba is facing another blackout amidst its aging infrastructure in 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.960 a United States enforced blockade on the country. It has 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.840 been running largely on thermoelectric sola and natural gas sources 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:47.080 of electricity as imports from Venezuela have ceased. The United 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.320 States has threatened to tariff anybody sending oil to Cuba, 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.000 but on Sunday, Claudia Scheinenbaum, President of Mexico did say 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.159 that Mexico would continue to send aid to the Caribbean nation. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.440 Also checking in on the show shields the Americas, which 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:05.080 we mentioned last week, Gustavo Petro, President of Columbia, has 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.359 responded to what is to be an Ecuadorian bomb falling 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.839 on Columbia. So we are a couple of weeks into 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.200 this and Ecuador's already bombed the wrong country. Oh good, 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.520 not great. It was an area very close to the border. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.440 But Petro posted today on egg dot com, the everything website. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.520 I'm blighted by the fact that groc thinks it can 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.400 speak Spanish better than meat. So I'm just going to 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.840 read whatever this shitty translation is. I suppose it has 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.400 been confirmed that the bomb in Colombian territory belongs to 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.039 the Ecuadorian Army. The investigation continues and a diplomatic protest 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.479 note will be sent. So yeah, that's Ecuador playing with 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:47.160 fire there. Yeah, finally PBS is reporting today. Then an 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.599 offer is on the table from the White House to 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.680 end the shutdown. I'm just going to read I guess 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:59.120 the terms that have been offered by the White House. 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.960 So the first one would be the expansion in the 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.760 use of body worn cameras by DHS law enforcement, and 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:12.000 they will increase congressional oversight by requiring retention of body 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.599 worn camera footage. The next one they would limit civil 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.560 immigration enforcement at certain sensitive locations. They go on to 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.200 say sensitive locations include places like hospitals and schools, which 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:28.200 is current practice. There were other places that were considered 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:32.960 sensitive locations previously, not to be churches, right, But that's 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.400 not a definitive list, and I don't does it mean 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.280 they will return to the old senstive places doctrine. It's 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:43.360 a little unclear. Yeah. They talk again about increasing congressional oversight, 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.279 particularly by creating mandatory review and compliance reporting from the 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:52.200 Spectro General of DHS. They talk about visible officer identification 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:57.520 and the administration would require officers to clearly verbalize their 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.800 agency and identification upon request when engaged official duties. And 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.560 then finally, they will adhere to existing practices of law 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.360 and practice of not deporting US citizens. And then they 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.119 go and say they only detain them of a crime 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:15.120 has taken place. Some of these appear like concessions, but 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.920 they kind of only matter in so much as you 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.320 trust them. They've always got like even the sensitive places 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:23.200 has an exemption for like a terrorist threat, given that, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.680 for instance, it was suggested very shortly after Alex Pretty 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:32.080 was killed that he was a terrorist attempting to kill offices, etc. Yeah, 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.760 none of this matters, and like it's still going to 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.640 be this is we are pleasing ourselves, right, So perhaps 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:42.400 we should move on talking of DHS, Let's talk about 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.120 Friend of the Podcast, Gregory Bovino. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.640 Oh, Greg, Oh, Greg Gregy b. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.160 Yeah, he's been a frequent frequent call zone all across 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:56.280 the cool Zone universe. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.720 Yeah, friend of the Pod. But no, nothing Gold can 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:00.800 stay you know. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:07.600 Nope, and sadly Greg cannot stay at his job. Yeah, 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:08.360 it'd be fair. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.240 Even before Trump took office, he was talking about retiring 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.480 in like two years, Like he's been talking about that 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:14.040 for a while. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:15.560 So yeah, it's this is not. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.360 Like super weird, but the timing of it is earlier 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.760 than he'd previously talked about wanting to do. And I 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:25.800 think pretty undeniably connected to you know, him being made 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.960 the sacrificial bond of the regime. 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.800 Yeah, and the fact that he he for instance said 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.920 shortly after Alex Pretty was killed by CBP agents, a 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.600 Pretty was planning to quote massacre agents. We have seen 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.360 no evidence that that is true. 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:40.760 Right. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.240 He's currently the chief patrol agent of the El Centro sector. Previously, 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:50.320 he was CBP's commander at large of its interior enforcement operations. 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.040 That he was removed from that job in late January. 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:58.880 He gave an exclusive interview to bright Bot News. But 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.000 have a former Board patrol agent who writes for him, 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.680 So I'm guessing that's why saying quote, watching these agents 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.440 out there giving it they're all in some of the 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:11.720 most dangerous of environments we have ever faced, was humbling cool. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.440 He will be retiring just a few days after his 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.120 fifty sixth birthday. The agency's mandatory requirement ages fifty seven, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.200 and I've seen a lot of places citing that that 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.840 applies to offices hired after the middle of two thousand 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.360 and eight, but Vino was hired in nineteen ninety six. 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.320 But at fifty five, with thirty years of service, he 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:36.040 would be eligible for optional retirement under the FERS. He 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.480 hasn't reached some minimum retirement age, so I think that 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.559 would impact the amount of retirement he gets. 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.760 Oh interesting, Oh yeah, yeah, he usually does, unless they 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.280 make a special exception. For him or something. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:51.360 Yeah, because previously, right, like previously, border patrol agents were 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.280 essentially hired. It's like federal employees or civil servants. It 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.040 was only after two thousand and eight that they're hiring 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.319 I guess came slow, slightly more in line with people 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.080 in the armed services, for instance, or police and so 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.880 like under first you'd have to do the thirty years 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.440 plus reach the minimum retirement age, versus under the newer 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.880 system when they have a mandatory retirement of fifty seven. 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.920 I do feel like this, plus Gnome, plus the stuff 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.120 that you've mentioned up top Garrison, it suggests that the 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:26.840 tides are perhaps turning. Plus this, we've seen Republican sheriffs 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.720 in Florida opposing mass deportations this week, right, we've seen 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:36.000 Republican congress people making public statements about this. We are 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:41.840 probably beginning to see the beginning of the end of 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.960 the right being in lockstep behind mass deportations. I don't 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.040 think that means with going to see the end of 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.800 ice raids. I don't think that means we're going to 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:57.359 see the end no, of massive detention and of massive deportation. 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.599 But it's clearly as we are looking towards the midterms, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.800 something that some parts of the Republican Party want to 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.080 distance themselves from. 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.120 And there's movement on this, and it shows that these 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.640 forces are fluid in can actually be changed through taking 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.880 like agency, like through through through imparting yourself upon the world. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.920 Like what's happened in Minneapolis for those for those weeks 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:27.520 to to, you know, months, showed that the world actually 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.200 can be changed through through mass action. 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.480 Yeah, like like border patrol and ice went to Minneapolis 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.120 to fight, and it seems like they came off worse, right, 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.240 Like they were not able to subdue the city in 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.320 a meaningful way, and it has resulted in most of 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.880 their leadership being removed. Yeah. 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.400 Well, I wanted to talk a little bit about something 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.200 that's happened this week that I kind of I felt 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.679 a deep sense of foreboding reading this article. It's going 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.080 to sound like this is another piece of kind of 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.280 Israel Palestine reporting, but it's really not. I mean, that's 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.160 where this particular story is set. But we're we're talking 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.400 about something that's going to be an increasing factor in 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.080 the lives of everyone gathering news and everybody consuming it, 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:17.200 which is poly market our gamble on everything happening in 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.240 the world app that apparently the world needed for some reason. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:25.559 So on Tuesday, March tenth, twenty twenty six, as hostilities 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.520 continued between Iran and Israel, a ballistic missile got past 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.640 Israel's defense systems and landed in near the city of 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.280 bait Chemesh, just outside of Jerusalem. It did not land 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.640 near anything, but it looks like trees you can see. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.240 There is video captured of the explosion and posted by 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:49.079 a journalist named Immanuel fabian oh Ye, who wrote with 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.680 his post, no injuries are reported in our end's latest 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.240 ballistic missile attack on Israel. The fourth to day one 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.960 missile struck an open area just outside bite Schemesh, first 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.480 responders say, and footage shows, and the footage doesn't show 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.439 a ballistic missile impacting. There is an explosion. This does 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.120 not look like fragments of a missile that were taken down. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.840 You know, based on what I know of ballistic missiles, 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.719 and based on what people who I know no more 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.160 than me know about ballistic missiles, this was an intact 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.280 ballistic missile hitting. It didn't hit a target that was valuable. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.640 It didn't hurt anybody as far as we're aware, but 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.520 it got through the missile shield and a hit in 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.800 Israeli territory. Normally you would wonder, like, why does this this? 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.960 I mean, this matters, you know if you're a local reporter, obviously, 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.720 but why would anyone else care? Well, the day after 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.120 Manny Fabian posted this video and this brief bit of reporting, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:43.080 he started receiving emails, weird emails, mostly in Hebrew, and like, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.600 here's one example from Times of Israel piece that he wrote. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.160 Sorry for reaching out without a prior introduction, but I 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.040 assume we will get to know each other well. I 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.839 have an urgent request regarding the accuracy of your report 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.120 on the missile attack on March tenth. I would really 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.160 appreciate a response if possible. There is an inaccurate report 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.920 from you about the missile attack on March tenth, and 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.480 it's causing a chain of errors. If you could reply 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.400 to me tonight, you would be helping me, many others 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.199 and of course the state of Israel, and along the 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:08.760 way you would gain a good source. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:10.640 So that's really weird. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.880 Yeah, the fuck is going if you're this guy. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:13.760 All you did was. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.520 Post, oh, hey, a rocket hit, but it didn't hit anything, Yeah, like, 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.680 not a big deal given the state of the war. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.880 And he starts getting spammed with a bunch of similar 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.920 emails like this, And in addition to that, he's got 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.480 people like on Twitter responding saying like hey, One person 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.640 responded to one of his posts saying, there are people 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.880 saying they've received word from you that the missile strike 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.360 in Baite Schamesh on March tenth was in fact intercepted. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.200 Is this true or did no such interaction occur? So 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.520 people start posting and sharing in other places that oh, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.040 I reached out to this guy and he said the 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.160 missile was actually intercepted and it was just a piece 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.640 that fell, and he reported it wrong, which is not 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.360 at all what this guy had reported. So he's really confused. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.360 He has like, why are all these people bugging me 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.200 about this very minor story and why are they spreading 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.600 disinformation claiming that I debunked my own star when I didn't. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:02.520 Well. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.400 The obvious reason why is that people that day on 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.760 Polymarket on March tenth were gambling on when Iran would 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:14.240 strike Israel. There were fourteen million dollars wager that there 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.080 would be a strike on March tenth. The rules of 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.400 the bet per polymarket stated, this market will resolve to 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.760 yes if Iran initiates a drone, missile or airstrike on 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.720 Israel soil on the listed date in Israel time GMT 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.640 plus two. Otherwise, this market will resolve no. Missiles or 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.920 drones that are intercepted will not be sufficient for a 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:34.880 yes resolution. 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:35.640 Right. 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.480 So that's why fourteen million dollars was in the air. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.320 It's people who had a lot of money on this event. 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.560 Yeah, yes, specifically, And these people don't care if anyone 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.200 is right. They don't care that a missile was fired. 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.840 All they care about is whether or not the missile 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.600 made it through the defense network intact, right, because these 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.200 were people who I guess had bet against that because 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:58.760 they didn't want that to be the case. 0:15:58.880 --> 0:15:59.640 Right. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.600 He initially ignores these weird emails, and they start getting 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.280 more and more aggressive, and people are like, when you're 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.840 gonna update the article, Daniel, Daniel, update the article. You 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.800 have to update the article. You know you were wrong. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.920 And after the weekend he starts getting messages like you 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.800 have exactly half an hour to correct your attempted influence, 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.640 despite the fact that you receive countless inquiries you insist 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.800 on leaving it this way. If you do not correct 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.280 this by one am Israel time today March fifteenth, you 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.160 are bringing upon yourself damage you have never imagined you 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:26.840 would suffer. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.520 That's already easer if I've ever seen one. 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.880 Like there's a bunch of shit like this. Someone said, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.280 after you make us lose nine hundred thousand dollars, we 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.440 will invest no less than that to finish you. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.200 Like this is insane, Yeah, but. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.640 It's inevitable if you think about how polymarket works, right 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.880 that once people are putting fortunes on the line around 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.840 stupid shit, you know, like betting whether or not, oh 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.720 the missile make it through or not on this That 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.000 is dumb, right, missiles and stuff that's very serious to 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.600 a lot of people who live in the region. But 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.920 betting on it this way is fundamentally stupid. But it's 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.080 all poly Market's all stupid bets like this, and they 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.280 are going to increase inly come after people once they realize, hey, 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.720 maybe I can actually change and get a winning resolution 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.040 or whatever if I harass the journalist on the ground. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.359 There's a vested financial interest in going after people over 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.399 stuff like this. So this particular story is happening in 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.200 Israel involves the reporting of an Israeli journalist. This isn't 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.800 going to stay limited to that conflict or to that 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.480 region of the world. This is going to be thing 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.000 that journalists all over the world increasingly deal with. This 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.760 is an important story and one that I think says 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.119 some pretty bleak shit about the immediate future of news 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:43.760 gathering in this country. 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:45.399 So that's cool. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.720 On the upside, Polymarket is about to open a splashy 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.959 new bar in Washington, DC called the Situation Room, and 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.040 I found Polymarket made a post on their substack in 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.800 which they announced this, saying, the world's first bar dedicated 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.080 to monitoring the situation. Imagine a sports bar, but just 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.399 for situation monitoring live Xpeeds, flight radar, Bloomberg terminals and 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:15.320 Polymarket screens. Grand opening this Friday. Imagine the first response. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.840 This is every bar in Washington, d C. 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.800 First response is just someone saying, drink your way through 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.600 World War three, which just also every. 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:23.720 Bar in Washington, DC. 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.120 Yeah, someone else says this seems awful, but I guess 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.200 that perfectly aligns with your company in general. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:32.639 Get on that passion. 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:38.280 Uh cool? Yeah, So I love poly market. It's good 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.479 that this is what we've turned society into. No notes. 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.439 Yeah, I'll just add this to the list of things 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.679 that prediction markets will destabilize geopolitically. Yeah great, not just 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.320 the insider trading problems of people with you know, beforehand 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.159 knowledge of military strikes or certain world events, but trying 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.879 to influence the reporting of events to sway polymarket or 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:04.240 how she's decision on whether whether the market was correctly fulfilled. 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:05.040 Yeah. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:06.040 Yeah, that's interesting. 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.520 Yep, interesting and yeah, foreboding. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:11.240 Yeah. 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:21.240 Anyway, so yeah, here's some ads. You build the animals. 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.960 We're back. Here's some James. You've built the animals. 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.840 Yeah, lucky you. First you want to talk about the 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.479 Supreme Court, and then I'm going to throw to Garrison 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.720 to talk about some other court stuff. This is our 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:43.320 court segment. The Supreme Court has schedule cases for the TPS. 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.080 That's a temporary protected status pertaining to Syria and Haiti 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.080 for April, meaning these statuses will remain in effect, likely 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.359 until the end of June or July. The justices didn't 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.959 alter the position of the New York and DC judges, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.560 who indefinitely postpone the termination of the TPS. The Trump 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.040 administration has hustled really hard to get this to the 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.720 Supreme Court. They first tried to get the Supreme Court 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.320 to let them remove people while it waited to weigh 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.679 in on the case, and then they tried to get 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.200 the Supreme Court to take the case before the second 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.920 Circuit had a chance to weigh in. This is called 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.840 thirty or right before judgment. Is how the case got 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.040 to the Supreme Court. This, I should note it's different 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.680 from the Venezuela case where the TPS was terminated because 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.320 the numbers are much smaller, and therefore it's going to 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.000 be harder for the US government to show harm. Right, 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.440 it pertains to thirty forty thousand people, If I had 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.760 to guess. By contrast, it's very easy for people to 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.560 show potential harm in Haiti or Syria. Right, just to 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.960 give an example of Syria, that has been violence directed 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:52.399 against Alavites, Dru's people and Kurds largely unimpeded by the 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:57.280 government since a sad fell last year, and Syria remains 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.359 on the State Departments do not travel list. Yeah, you 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.600 had some stuff about prairie Land. Do you want to 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:03.160 share in it? 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.720 Yes, let's talk about the prairie Land trial. Yeah, we're 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:12.440 going to be doing a more in depth episode next week. 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.960 The started next week on prairie Land. It's about double 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.240 the length of today's summary, but I do want to 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:24.080 go over some essential information about the trial that concluded 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.880 last week. So last week, the Trump administration got their 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:33.720 first conviction in an antifoot heroism case. On Friday, March thirteenth, 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.320 eight people were convicted by a federal grand jury on 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.720 charges of riot, conspiracy to use and carry an explosive, 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:44.880 and providing material support to terrorists. One of the defendants 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.320 was convicted of attempted murder of a police officer, and 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:51.720 another person was convicted onto accounts of concealing documents, bringing 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:55.560 the total number of federal defendants to nine. This case 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:59.920 stemmed from the defense argued was a noise demonstration protest 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.160 outside of an ice attention facility in prairie Land, Texas, 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:07.280 last summer. On the night of July fourth, After protesters 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:12.520 through fireworks and vandalized property, DHS personnel called local police 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:16.520 for assistance. One officer arrived, drew his handgun and yelled 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.760 stop at a person in all black clothes who was 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.320 running away. One of the defendants, named Benjamin Song, then 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:26.840
