Now all right, the travel band. There 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: is a new development in the Trump travel band situation. 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: Here's what it is. UH courtesy of The New York Times. 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: A federal appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate President Trump's 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: revised travel bands, saying it drips with religious intolerance, animous 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: and discrimination. The decision from the United States Court of 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia was a 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: setback for the administration's efforts to limit travel from several 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: predominantly Muslim countries. Attorney General Jeff Session said the administration 14 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: would appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. The courts. 15 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: This lower courts vote, I should note was ten to three, 16 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: divided strictly along ideological lines, and who wants to guess yep, 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: that's right. Three Republicans were in dissent. Ten Democrats were 18 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: part of the majority opinion here, which said that the 19 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: UH the band will not be reinstated. It's not even 20 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: a ban, it's a temporary cessation of travel from whatever 21 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: six Muslim majority countries for a predetermined window of time 22 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: while vetting procedures are tightened and scrutinized. Um. You know, 23 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: I I hate to say it, but you know the 24 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: British have got to be looking at their vetting procedures 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: right now, right. I mean, let's be honest about this. 26 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: They let in a refugee and the refugees kid was 27 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: a terrorist. And you know, if they had looked closer, 28 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: the refugee himself was in all with extremism. Originally back in, 29 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: vetting procedures are very serious business, especially when you're talking 30 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: about refugees from countries where there is a very real 31 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: threat of extremism UH Islamist and jihadis indoctrination and the 32 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: follow on effect of terrorism from that. So, but this 33 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: is this is really damaging. Back to this decision. This 34 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: is really damaging because it's yet another time where we 35 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: see that the courts are now just another instrument of 36 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: politics that anyone could read that any judge a person 37 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: who is steeped in at least allegedly theoretically steeped in 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: the law, and a scholar and a practitioner of the 39 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: law that a federal appeals court judge would say that 40 00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: the travel band quote drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination. Uh, 41 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: there is nothing about religion in the band or whatever 42 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna call it. There is absolutely nothing in it 43 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: that discriminates against any religion. But because it names countries 44 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: that happened to be places that are predominantly Muslim, but 45 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: not entirely, they are viewing it as discriminatory. And then 46 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: also on top of that, I'm sure they still feel 47 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: that Trump's statements on the campaign trail um are somehow 48 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: admissible here, which just kicks kicks open so many problems 49 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: for judicial review going forward. Um I am. I am 50 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: sitting here, And the more I think about it, the 51 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: more I see that we no longer have any institutions 52 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: of government that are free of partisanship. We just don't. 53 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean, the military maybe there is the closest. But 54 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: even when you get to the once people get stars 55 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: on their shoulders, there tends to be a They tend 56 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: to become very political and a lot of their approach 57 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: to things. Um. So I'm not speaking about the rank 58 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: and file, but if you look at the senior leadership, 59 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: we know the FBI, the d o J are politicized, 60 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: we know the courts are entirely politicized. And now everything 61 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: is just a political fight through the prism of a U. 62 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: S institution, right And we're told that And that's also 63 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: I think part of the disconnect year is that we're 64 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: told that these are nonpartisan institutions. We're told to respect, 65 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: respect the judiciary, and and respect the Department of Justice. 66 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: And uh, what is the what is the major US 67 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: institution right now that has not been shown to be, 68 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: if not full of partisan conflicts of interest at least 69 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: subject to some pretty major ones at different times. The judiciary, 70 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: now we can look at this and in many cases, 71 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: especially depending on the on the circuit and depending on 72 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: the um the how hot button a case, maybe you 73 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: look and you say, okay, well, these are Democrat appointees, 74 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna go this way. And these are judges, it's 75 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: not supposed to be like that. And you look at 76 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: these are Republican appointees, They're gonna go this way. Although 77 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: Republicans are much more likely as judges to say, well, 78 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't like this, but this is what 79 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: the law says. Democrats never seem to say that this 80 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: is this is not Oh, it happens on both sides. 81 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: Kind of a thing with Democrat judges. It's I see 82 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: it the way I want to see it. Yeah, that's 83 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: not what the law says, but I don't care. And meanwhile, 84 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: Republicans are the ones sending around on you know, on 85 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: the bench or I guess they're sitting on the bench 86 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: and saying to themselves, you know, well, granted, I think 87 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: this is a bad policy choice, and I think that 88 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: this is unfair, but it's not unconstitutional, and that's what 89 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: the law says. So we're always at a disadvantage here 90 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: because the right still although it feels like some sometimes 91 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: less so these days in the era of Trump, but 92 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: the right still plays by rules. Um. And the right 93 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: Uh and what I mean by the rules thing, guys, 94 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk later about that. Uh, Montana congressional candidate 95 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: the elections tonight. It's the polls closed in a couple 96 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: of hours. Um. But I mean, come on, we can't 97 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: have I'm saying some people that I like on the 98 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: social media that all of a sudden are like, yeah, 99 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, body slammer, reporter, No, no, not okay, not allowable. Um. Anyway, 100 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: back to this judge thing, it's just it's typical. The 101 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: judiciary is considered a bulwark against Trump's agenda, and that's 102 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: what they did here with the travel ban.
