WEBVTT - Executive Disorder: White House Weekly #21 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:07.600 Cool Zone Media. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.760 This is it could happen here. Executive Disorder. Sure is 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.280 our weekly newscast covering what's happening in the White House, 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.640 the crumbling world what it means for you. I'm Garrison 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.000 Davis today I'm joined by James Stout and Robert Evans. 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.320 You sure are lucky you this episode, we are covering 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.239 the week of June eleven to June eighteen. 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.360 That's right, that's right, the greatest week of all time. Actually, 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:31.560 it sucked, terrible week. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.479 No, we are probably getting closer to a war with Iran, 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.160 which is not good. 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:37.640 Yeah. 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.400 No, great, Yeah, We're at least getting more and more 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.000 involved in Israel's war with Iran. I guess we can 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.720 probably start by talking about that. Yeah, So this situation 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.600 as it stands. First off, I just want to note 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.480 that I don't think the worry here is World War three. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.000 I don't think the worry here is global thermonuclear war. 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.160 I think the worry here is the US allows itself 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:04.160 to get involved in an other boondoggle overseas and contributes 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.120 to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, largely civilians, 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.280 because we again continue to back Israel to the hilt, like, 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.200 that's that's the threat. I'm seeing a lot of Oh 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.640 my god, the World War three is coming, and I 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.360 just don't think that's the thing to be focused on. 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.320 The thing to be focused on is like a massive 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.920 expansion of the bombing of urban areas in Iran. You 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.600 know the fact that Trump has been talking at all 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.040 about evacuating a large segment of Tehran, which is about 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.959 as populous as the Los Angeles metro area and not evacuable. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.839 Yes, ten billion people. Yeah, yeah, where are they going, buddy? 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.640 There's just no way to really do that, is It's 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.399 really bad now when it comes to does Iran have 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.720 a nuke, well, they say they don't, and no one's 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.800 presented any evidence that they do, Like at least officially, 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.400 Iran stopped their nuclear development program in like two thousand 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.800 and three. There's you know, always in Israel has always 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.480 been claiming that they're continuing to work on it in secret. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.480 You know, we don't have a good a good context 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.840 for exactly how much work there is going on. But 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.400 Iran has been per conservatives in Israel a week away 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.920 from having nukes for fucking my entire adult life, and 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.320 then some so I don't see any evidence that they're 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.440 further along to that goal than they were in twenty 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.040 or in two thousand and three, and until presented with 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.400 that evidence, my assumption is going to be that most 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:22.120 of these claims are. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:22.760 Based on lies. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.160 Now, the strikes that Israel has carried out are mostly 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.360 it's a mix of assassination strikes like attacking the homes 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.760 and whatnot of scientists and of people who are involved 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.280 in the Iranian government who can be particularly people who 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.160 may have some ties to their weapons development programs. They've 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.120 also just been striking a lot of heavily populated areas, 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.960 kind of under that agis. There's been claimed strikes and 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.440 some definite strikes on what at least were research facilities 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.919 and nuclear research facilities. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.079 There's very little. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.840 Evidence that the strikes they're carrying out could deal with 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.280 the kind of deep underground research foracilities that Israel claims 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:02.600 is where Iran is making most. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.280 Of their progress. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.799 Which is why there's a lot of talk about the 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.160 US getting involved, because we have these munitions that are 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.720 specially designed to go much deeper than anything Israel has, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.679 but they have to be launched from a B two, 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.320 which is like our big stealth bomber that might theoretically 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.200 be able to reach this big underground research area that 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.560 Iran is supposedly doing their nuclear research in. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:25.280 So that's kind of. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.079 The direct reason why Netan yahoo once the US involved, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.280 and that's kind of the most credible speculation is to like, well, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.480 if the US starts getting involved, what would we do? 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.840 What would be the first direct act that we'd carry out? 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.320 And it might be something like using a B two 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.000 to drop one of these bunker busters in Iran. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:49.920 Yeah, people have been speculating wildly about various separatists groups 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.480 in Iran, right, both BLOK and Kurdish. 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:53.000 Yeah. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.800 I have seen a number of photos that are more 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.000 than a decade old circulating with the claim that they 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.640 are happening currently. That not for what it's worth. I 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:06.000 don't see the US allying with with Peyak or the 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.160 No Kurtis Dan Free Life Party that's still listed a 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.360 foreign terrorist organization. Obama did that and it hasn't come off. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.080 So it would be quite a swing for the for 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.400 the US to first delist them and then immediately sort 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.280 of do what they did with the with the PYD 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.760 in Western Kurdistan. Right, So don't see that happening in 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.919 the near future anyway. It's anything's on the table with 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.360 the Trump administration, right, But yeah, I think some of 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.320 that speculation is maybe not grounded in reality. There are 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.840 other It's kdpis PAK right, these is sort of more 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:44.640 amenable to the American political outlook Kurdish groups. But again, 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.680 I don't see anything to indicate that the US is 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.480 attempting to arm and equip a proxy force to do 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.200 like land warfare in Iran. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:55.560 Yeah. 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.520 Yeah, we could be a few days, we could be 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.919 a few weeks away from that, but then there's not 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.120 indicating it yet. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:01.480 Yeah. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.600 And there's a couple of things people will bring up 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.880 whenever they think that the US is about to go 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.160 to war with Iran or someone else. One of them 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.920 is like the Pentagon dominoes order, like basically the dominoes 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.800 near the Pentagon, Like how busy it is, right, the 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.720 idea being that they order a bunch of pizza when 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.840 everybody's going to be staying in staying up late in 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.720 order to carry out some sort of a strike or 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:22.359 a deployment. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:23.600 And the other that. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.640 I've started seeing is like photos of lobster being served 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.080 at various bases, and people being like they only serve 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.560 lobster when they're about to deploy everybody, Neither. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.240 Of these is accurate. 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.719 Yeah, the Pentagon pizza thing is a common myth, but 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.920 you can find one hundred cases. Sure, you can find 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.280 a couple of cases where pizza sales surged and we 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.280 were carrying out some sort of attack and one of those. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.560 You can find one hundred times where pizza case, like, 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:52.000 pizza orders surged and nothing happened because like someone had 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.680 people had to stay overnight to get some compliant shit 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.200 ready or whatever. Like the fact that people are ordering 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.600 pizza at the Pentagon, they do it for reasons other 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.200 than war. Or ditto if you talk to anyone who 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.600 was deployed, surf and turf and lobster are served with 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.480 some regularity at a variety of bases, and it doesn't 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:13.480 correspond necessarily to any kind of mass movement or activation. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.359 You need to actually, like look at the degree of 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.360 time it took to get the forces ready that we 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.120 moved in with to invade Iraq in two thousand and three, 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.120 because it was a massive logistical effort and it was 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.640 super obvious what we were doing because hundreds of thousands 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.560 of people had to be moved around the world with 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.839 massive amounts of materiall. And what you're seeing right now 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.400 is you're seeing a lot of our refueling planes, like 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.360 you're seeing a lot of those moving into the area. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.839 And we're moving the Nimitz carrier groups with second carrier 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.320 group into the area. But those don't say to me, 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.960 we're about to have tens to hundreds of thousands of 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.599 ground troops invading Iran. Those say number one, as we 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.960 were doing previously, we're expecting a lot of incoming towards Israel, 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.159 and we are going to continue to help shoot down 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.000 that incoming. And number two, and this is kind of 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.840 the most extreme thing that I see right now. We're 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.080 going to be either directly supporting or carrying out airstrikes 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.000 in I run and both of those are possible based 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.280 on what we've seen. But what we're not seeing is 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.280 full scale military evidence of a full scale military deployment. 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.119 We're just there's just not evidence of that yet. 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.080 Well, especially because the entire military is busy with more 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.960 important matters, like it's poorly marching in a line in Washington, 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.280 d C. Including rolling over, rolling over, a woman in 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.360 a tank, I believe. 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.360 Yeah, they killed a lady with Well it wasn't in 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.360 a tank, it was the truck carrying the tank. 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.000 There you go, which is fucked up. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.800 Yeah, it's only it's only the Soviets rollover people with tanks. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.520 In America. We put tanks on a truck, rollover with that. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:48.080 So this past Saturday we saw Trump's birthday party military parade, 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.400 also celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.640 US military. Meanwhile, across the country, in almost every major city, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:08:00.280 there was quote unquote no Kings protests in protest of 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.320 the Donald Trump military parade event. I think they renamed 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.520 them no Tyrants garrison to uh except yes, to not 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.720 piss off Kings. Yes, yes, in the in the countries 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:16.280 where there are monarchies. Yeah, the No Kings organization renamed 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.560 renamed their protests to no Tyrants. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.120 You'll need to hang your fucking head and shame if 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.760 you're doing that. Shame, I think. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.160 But before we get to what's sucked about this, we 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.600 should talk about some stuff that I think was good planning. Yeah, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.520 for official number one, it was smart to hold a 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.560 bunch of mass demonstrations the weekend of his birthday in 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.000 order to make that not the main story, and also 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.560 to kind of it further highlighted the fact that his 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.800 the big military parade looked like shit, Like this was 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.120 not that was not that's not like bad planning, right, 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.240 like you want to do it And the distract and 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.600 the fact that these were so large is not bad, right, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.840 It's not enough. It's a start point, not an endpoint. 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.559 And there's a lot to be worried about here, including 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.960 the fact that they have no real demands, clearly, which 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.400 you can kind of see from the fact that they 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.880 went from no kings to know tyrants when they were like, well, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.000 now there's going to be some sympathy protests and places 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:04.480 with kings. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.720 We're going to have the some kings protest. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.920 Maybe just hold the line that kings are bad homeie. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.080 I don't know, but I will say again, like timing 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:13.600 was not bad, and the number of people they were 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.240 able to mobilize, the scale of the demonstrations, these are 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.960 good things. And there's costs for some optimism here. So 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.000 I don't I never want us to just be like 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.600 shitting on people trying to do stuff. So let's start 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.080 by saying like there were some good stuff here, there 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.000 were some good calls made. There were also some bad 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.840 calls made, and we're going to talk about those now. 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.080 Yeah. I think if I just give an overview of 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.200 the violence used against protesters and then we can get 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:36.480 into a couple of these incidents. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.199 Sure, sure, absolutely so. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.440 I've been trying to collate a list of arm threat 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.600 I'm aware of arm threatened Phoenix, where the person was 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:49.680 arrested in Pueblo, where the person was I guess suppressed 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.280 by like people at the parade, armed people at parade, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.840 and then arrested. Nashville the person was arrested and had 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:01.440 a shotgun with some pretty concerning right wa shit on it. 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.280 Is that the one that had bombs or was that 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:04.120 the Phoenix guy? 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.120 I think I'm not aware of the I haven't read 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.200 about the bombs. The guy in Nashville had a moss 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.680 Berg five hundred with like one three one and Dais 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.240 Voult and yeah, yeah, yeah, all kinds of right wing 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.480 shit and some I had a Curtis yarb in Dark Enlightenment. 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.680 Patch Jesus, Yeah, not great, good week for courtisyar of it. 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.200 Yeah yeah, yeah, big pr okay, Yeah, No King's protester, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.720 the armed man arrested at the protest in Pennsylvania. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:30.560 Okay, that's another one. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.200 Had more than a dozen explosives at home. Kevin Krebs. Yeah. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:39.920 Yeah, so we've seen that's four armed attacks right Pennsylvania, Phoenix, Pueblo, 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.160 in Nashville that I'm aware of that maybe more. It's 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.400 been kind of hard to collate these, and when we're 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.679 recording pretty shortly after those protests happened in Los Angeles, 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:54.680 the artthreat came from the cops who tear gassed people, 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.720 shot them with impact munitions, trampled them with horses, and 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:58.800 hit them with billy clubs. 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.760 It's the same thing in port We had a mass 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.880 rally in Portland, like the No King's rally, which was 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.680 like mostly fairly safe and kind of like more lib 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.600 and oriented, family friendly, and then that did because there 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.400 were so many people out in like the eight to 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.240 ten thousand range. You got a much larger demonstration at 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.199 the ICE headquarters building in McCadam in Portland than we'd 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.040 been seeing. There have been demonstrations there for a while, 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.440 but they've mostly been in the dozens. And there were 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.920 on Saturday, like six hundred people or so at the 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.160 height of that, and so folks managed to actually breach 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.240 the door of the facility briefly. On several occasions, BORTTAC 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.800 officers pulled their live firearms and pointed them at the 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.480 crowd like unholstered handguns, and in one case is a 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.240 pistol calendar car mine aimed. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:44.640 Them at people. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.720 A nurse who was showing up there to do protest 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:50.800 medic stuff got shot in the eye with a less 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.760 than lethal munition. So just a tremendous amount of violence 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.000 and something like thirty four arrests so far over the 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.000 last few days. Yeah, protests continue at the ICE headquarters. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:00.400 Yeah. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.200 Similar situation in Atlanta where there was arrests at the 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.600 big protest on Saturday. To your gas, people were charged 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.920 with wearing a mask at a protest, which is a 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.480 crime in Georgia. It was rescinded during the pandemic, but 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.480 now it is being enforced once again. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.280 San Diego's go ahead. I was just gonna say, you know, what, 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.680 isn't san Diego our sponsors. 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.760 Hopefully he can never tell mate. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:42.080 Yeah, I don't know, and we're back. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.440 Yeah, I'm aware of like Bebe five vehicular rammings across 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.440 the week or so attacks with vehicles at least one 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.920 person in a coma. San Diego's protest, by contrast, was 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.960 I've seen various numbers, but extremely safe, very very like 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.280 lib coded. I saw a post from the police congratulating 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.760 the protesters on a peaceful protest day. So it went 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.520 down differently here. I have been denied my press bus 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.679 by the city of San Diego because they exempted podcasts 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.640 when we were mean to Todd Gloria. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.520 They really got pissed at that, didn't they. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.040 Yeah, Yeah, we got him, man, We got him. So parking, 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.000 what's a motherfucker for me? Because I don't have one 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.720 of the press parking placards. It's only caught the tail 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:24.200 end of that. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.319 We continue the igadapenir tradition of getting into rivalries with 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.040 various municipal governments. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.760 They all hate us. You got to wonder why, man, 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.000 because we're doing our job. 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.400 Yeah, yeah, which is increasingly rare in the media these days, 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.720 especially the local media in San Diego. You can read 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.880 my Patreon piece about the local media and the mayor. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.240 If you want to, let's talk about Salt Lake City, right, 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.640 Salt Lake City. This was first reported as like a 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:55.200 prevented mass shooting. Should we like break down the timeline 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:56.840 of events? How do we want to process? 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:57.680 Yeah? 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:03.200 So basically what happened at the event right is there 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.360 was a person in all black carrying an AR fifteen 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.720 A member of now the five ZHO five oh one organization, 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.040 and this was a five oh five oh one protest 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.360 has uniformed by saying, by uniform to me, they're wearing 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.040 like yellow hypas vests, but they've got they've got marked security. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.520 All of these are volunteers, per their own claims, these 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.520 are mostly like veterans and first responders in people with 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.280 that kind of relevant experience. One of these protest security 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:36.080 people saw this person carrying an AR at the protest. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.280 There's no evidence that this person took violent actions, that 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.280 they were aiming their weapon at anyone, that they were 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.800 doing anything other than marching in a matter that is legal. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.640 It is legal to open carry. There's no evidence that 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.760 I've seen that the person that they saw with the 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.240 AR broke the law. Protest security pulled what I believe 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.360 at this point to have been a concealed handgun and 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.200 opened fire. They wounded the person with the AR fifteen 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.640 and they hit and killed an unrelated person who was 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.080 just at the march and who was not the person 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.200 that they were aiming at, and killed that person. 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.240 Yeah. That person was called author Falosa Alou. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.680 Yes, they are a fashion designer of Samoan ancestry with 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.560 two children. Yeah, and they died on the scene. The 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.240 person who was carrying the air fifteen is the second 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:26.359 generation of Venezuelan immigrant and a long time anti fascist 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.440 activist who was wounded, and they are currently being charged. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.760 The person who was shot, not the person who did 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.600 the shooting, is currently being charged by law enforcement. And 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.840 basically in the same manner is that like if you 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.320 rob a corner store in the police open fire to 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.600 stop you and they hit and kill someone else, you 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.000 will get charged with murder, right, And the argument is that, 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.640 like you started the crime, and there's you know, an 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.360 argument to be made there when you actually did do 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.160 a crime. But again, this individual, there's no evidence whatsoever 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.480 that I've seen that they committed a crime. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:56.720 Yeah. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.360 Utah's an open Kyrie state, right, Utah is an open 0:15:59.440 --> 0:15:59.960 Carrie state. 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:00.240 Eight. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.200 None of the video footage I have seen, none of 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.280 the evidence I have seen whatsoever suggests that this person 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.960 was threatening anyone at all with their firearms. Now, I 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.480 heard from some sources in the Salt Lake community, and 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.320 these people had seen the individual with the air fifteen 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.080 at previous demonstrations. They forwarded me some photos of this 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:24.160 person in twenty twenty at protests, open carrying and dressed 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.080 basically the same as they were dressed at this protest. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.120 They told me this was the person was kind of 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.000 known in the community. They were not like super deeply 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.000 tied in. They had noted that they seemed a little 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.760 awkward with their gear back in twenty twenty, and that 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.760 in general maybe they were like a little bit of 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.400 like kind of an awkward person, or at least that 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.800 was the vibes that these folks got. And they were 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.040 dressed more radically than was common for the rest of 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.880 the protest right. They were wearing all black, they had like, 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.560 I think a bandana on their face, and their suspicion 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.480 when they reached out to me was like, yeah, we 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.000 think maybe he was dressed too militantly for a liberal march, 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.000 and he was like adjusting his kit or something, and 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.920 one of the security people's got spooted an open fire. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:05.560 Now. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.320 The five oh five oh one organization's first statement was that, 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:10.959 you know, basically this had been a crime that had 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.040 been averted, and the fact that someone else had been 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.880 shot and killed was like deeply tragic, but like protest 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.639 security had you know, taken action. And then within a 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.600 few hours of that they were like, actually, it's become 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.800 clear we don't know exactly what's going on here, so 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.439 we're going to continue to wait to hear what's happening. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.239 But obviously, you know, the presence of guns is what 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.159 caused this in the first place. Some more information has 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.120 since come out, including five h five oh one's guide 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:39.160 for Dealing and de Escalating People with firearms for their 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:43.520 marked Security, which is quite bad, like to say the least, 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.360 like deeply inadequate and quite racist and quite racist. There's 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.040 a part in it where there's like a bunch of 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.119 where it's talking about like the different kind of body 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.080 language that can show you someone's about to get violent, 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.000 and there's just like some clip art of non white 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:56.840 people with guns. I don't know why they put the 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.520 clip art in. Yeah, it's bad, it's really fucked up 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.360 in awkward. I have reached out for a statement from 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:03.280 five oh five oh one. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.360 But I haven't heard from them yet. Yeah. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.760 The book is called Streetwise and Study a workbook for 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.560 action peacekeepers or event marshals, and I guess they're calling 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:15.000 them action peacekeepers. A peacekeeper, sometimes called a marshal or 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.520 action ambassador, helps keep people safe and make sure the 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:21.320 action goes smoothly. The essential supplies for a prepared peacekeeper 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.840 are a fully charged cell phone, contacts for police, liaison, 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.280 legal observers, and other key action roles. Schedule events, map 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.800 with the march route, first aid supplies your ID. Nothing 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.359 in there says that you're supposed to be carrying a 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.600 gun at My understanding is these people were not supposed 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:36.160 to be armed. 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.280 This person who they're saying was a veteran was armed. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.480 It's not a guide for people who are going to 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.640 be confronting violence, right, Like, it's not a very good 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.640 guide for that. And the de escalation stuff is really bad. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.960 Like chapter seven is on de escalating with guns. Tips 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.200 for de escalating with guns. Don't panic your composer will 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.560 influence the crowd and likely the gun owner. Keep your 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.800 hands and avoid sudden movements. So so far that's good. 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.200 Speak softly and clearly, avoid shouting or aggressive tones. Try 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.239 to keep distance between the person with the weapon and 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.800 the crowd, which should move away slowly. If someone from 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.639 your team face the protesters, and if anyone attempts to 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:18.560 rescue the situation, which can make things worse ha HA. 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.040 Communicate with other peacekeepers and leaders and coordinate a safe response. 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.920 Be ready to evacuate or take shelter if necessary. Talk 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:27.880 calmly to the shooter and tell them you're not their enemy, 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.600 repeating a phrase such as you don't have to do this, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.120
