I'm Garrison Davis today. 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:20.360 I'm joined by Mia Wong, James Stout, and Robert Evans. 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:21.200 Hello friends. 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.760 This episode recovering the week of July second to July nine. 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:29.320 Oooh yeah, it's been good stuff mostly this week, right, Yeah. 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:29.760 It's been great. 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:30.479 I don't think so. 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.520 I think it's fourth July, hot dog July. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.360 Everyone was chill and normal. 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.040 San Diego managed to have a fireworks display. It didn't 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.760 all go off at once, which is always disappointing. You 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.800 guys familiar with the big baby boom or if I 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.280 had just dung some San Diego. 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.559 Oh Yeah, yeah, that the explosion of that fireworks factory. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.000 Yeah, it was one of the defining moments in our 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.280 in our history. Here is San Diegan's Yeah, if I 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.360 was a fireworks factory, it was a boat full of fireworks. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.160 It was supposed to go off over forty five minutes. 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.640 It all went off at once. Everyone went, Holy shit. 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.760 That that seems large, because. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.600 Wasn't there wasn't there a fireworks factory that went up 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:07.839 to and killed a bunch of people. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.200 There was one that went up recently and killed a 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.080 bunch of people. I didn't I don't know if that 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.160 was in San Diego. It was in California, somewhere somewhere 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.360 in California. Yeah, yeah, seven at least seven killed in Oakdale? Okay, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:20.760 wasn't it also California? 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.440 The one where the cops were trying to detonate a 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.080 bunch of things and they just blew up a city 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.360 block LAPD. 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.000 Yeah, that was LAPD detonating. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:33.920 Yeah, that's why California, because US state agencies cannot be 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:34.800 trusted with them. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.840 No, they really probably shouldn't have been a fireworks factory 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.600 in Yolo County. Yeah, it does fit with the name. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:43.040 Yeah. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.640 This has been a very interesting temperature check week for 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.640 the country, considering it's both fourth of July. There's been 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.880 multiple shootings targeting border patrol, and Elon Musk's chatbot went 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.480 full Nazi. So it's really just another average week in America. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:04.400 But let's start by talking about the Texas border patrol. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.720 One of my favorite topics. 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.000 Well, maybe you should, maybe you shouldn't say that. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:10.440 Let's let's not let's cut that. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:12.960 No, no, no, no, I mean it is one of 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.399 my favorite topics. I've been trying to talk more talk 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.120 to people about DHS for years, Like we did those 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.480 episodes back in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one on 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.080 the Border Patrol, like this is we've talked about Harlan Carter, 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.280 who was like one of the first Border Patrol chiefs 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.440 and a Texan who murdered a Mexican kid on the 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.600 border when he was a teenager and then wound up 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.400 leading both the NRA and the Border Patrol. Like you know, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.680 a lot of horrible things come out of the Texas 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.520 Border Patrol. And last week we had something that's gonna 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.520 be a problem for a lot of folks happened on 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.760 the Texas well at a Texas Border Patrol office. Now 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.160 this was in the Dallas area kind of broadly speaking, 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.600 like the attack that we're talking about, which at about 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:59.520 ten thirty seven PM over the fourth of July weekend, 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.640 there was a protest that showed up at the Prairie 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.000 Land Attention Facility in Alvarado, Texas. So this would have 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.679 been Friday, and yeah, a little before eleven, roughly a 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.960 dozen people ten to twelve who are noted in the 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.720 charging document, is being dressed in black with like tactical gear, 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.480 started shooting fireworks at the facility, the detention facility, and 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.120 then a small group headed out and started vandalizing vehicles 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.600 and at least one outbuilding at the facility. There's photos 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.360 of this that you can find. I've even found some 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.359 in color that are on the DH's website because the 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.400 charging document they're black and white. But yeah, and like 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.040 the graffiti is pretty basic stuff on the side of 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.800 like cars in the parking lot. There's one car that 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.440 said trader and others that said ice pig. And yeah, 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.080 so you know, at this point, it's looking like a 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.960 pretty normal protest at one of these facilities. We've had 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.000 similar ones all over the country. And then at a 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.600 certain point, and I'm again reporting here from the charging document, 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.120 so I can only tell you what they're claiming. There's 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.440 some of this that they claim to have video evidence of, 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.000 but I haven't seen it yet, so like I can't 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.600 I'm not saying this is definitely what happened, because it's 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.200 not impossible for a charging document to look different from 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.320 what the actual evidence looks like. But this is what's 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.800 being claimed in the charging document, right that about ten 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.200 minutes after this protest started at ten forty seven PM, 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.800 one or two people broke off from the main group 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.400 and started damaging those vehicles and that guard structure and 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.919 like doing graffiti. Right at about ten fifty six, the 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.599 correctional officers inside called nine one one, and then two 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:39.400 minutes later two they say unarmed correctional officers left and 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.120 headed out to the fence line. So the you know, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.240 they had a fence between them and the protesters to 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.680 try to quote unquote talk to the vandals. That's from 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.400 the actual like report. The officers did not seem to 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.320 be successful in doing this. While they were out there 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.440 talking to the vandals. They exited the fence line and 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.280 approached the vandals kind of at around this time, sort 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.520 of been right before eleven, like ten fifty eight to 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.279 ten fifty nine. So as they're leaving the fence line, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.800 a person in a green mask is seen. They say 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.239 it can be seen, so I'm assuming this is them 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.279 referring to surveillance footage standing outside the woods just north 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.120 of the intersection of Tanglewood Drive in Sunflower Lane, and 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.360 quote appeared to be signaling to the vandals with a flashlight. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.599 Now does that mean he was actually because their argument 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.560 because what happens immediately after this is that one or 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:32.400 more individuals open fire on an Alvarado Police Department officer 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.760 who arrives responding to that nine to one one call. 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.000 This is at around ten fifty nine PM, maybe eleven. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.080 This is all kind of happening at the same time. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.080 And the States case is that this person in the 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.800 yellow mask signaled to the people doing vandalism and then 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.960 they left, and then the person in the mask opened 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.320 fire alongside one other assailant. There's the the assailant in 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.719 the green mask, and there's one other person in the 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.440 woods that they didn't see who opened fire. Right, So 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.560 they're claiming to two people fired and shot roughly twenty 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.320 to thirty rounds at the correctional officers. They hit that 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.160 Alvarado Police officer in the neck that he was injured. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.719 He was hospitalized, but he was out of the hospital 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.160 fairly quickly, so this was not like a fatal injury. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.640 And then after this point, the crowd broke up. People 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.760 ran like hell, and then police began pursuing, right, and 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.880 they found there's good evidence that because again their case 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.360 is that this was a very organized attack, right, that 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.280 they had people creating a distraction, they had someone signaled 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.960 to those people, the people creating the distraction left so 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.599 that folks with rifles could ambush an officer. And what's 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.919 unclear to me is you know whether or not that 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.520 whole signaling thing happened, and how aware that people doing 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.919 the vandalism war that someone was about to open fire, 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.560 Because the evidence does not suggest that they were ready 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.560 for an attack like this or ready to like x 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.680 phil from an attack like this, because it looks like 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.960 everybody ran in a panic manner. So if this was 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.000 everyone was involved in premeditation on this, they were not prepared, right. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.279 Two of the rifles used were found in the woods, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.400 one of which had a very basic jam that was 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.520 not cleared. At least one of the guns had been 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.520 bought a little over a week prior, so these you know, 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.080 don't seem like people who knew what they were doing. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.400 Particularly well. If this was, as the States claiming, a 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.600 cohesive plan people had, they didn't have a plan for 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.320 escaping together or for hiding and destroying evidence, you know, 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.040 that might tie them to this one person drove off 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.640 in a red maroon Hundai with a gun visible in 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.640 the car and several other guns, two sets of body armor, 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.640 and two helmets in the car, and immediately upon being 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.920 pulled over and questioned by police, told them that he 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.560 had driven people down to the Prairie Land Attention Center 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.160 to quote unquote make some noise, which is not if 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.440 this is somebody who was aware of a plan to 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.560 assassinate police officers, not the kind of OPSEC you would 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.680 expect from that person, right, Like, this person took no 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.200 effort to hide what they were doing. And then the remainder, 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.880 most of the remainder, the people that were pulled up, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.400 I think seven of them were found just kind of 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.480 in the woods near a road, like a couple of 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.440 miles away. Like they had clearly run off, and one 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.400 of them had broken down their rifle into a bag. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.520 But in general, they did not seem to have had 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.200 a plan to get themselves out of this, and so 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.600 that's kind of the situation that we have now. Right 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.000 they arrested i believe eight people on scene and then 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.200 started pursuing search warrants based on the residences and you know, 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.480 started looking into people's phone history. They found that one 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.560 of the people they'd arrested had been messaging someone to 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.240 like tow her vehicle away from where it was parked 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.040 and go to her house and you know, remove things 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.199 from the house. And all this was captured on text messages, right, 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.760 So again we're not we're not looking at like a 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.920 professional level OPSEC situation here. And that individual who was 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.200 arrested that night, who messaged someone else to like move 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.160 their stuff from their house. The FBI found out about 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.800 this and raided the house that they were having stuff 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.960 taken to and found the box that this person had 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.280 to have removed from their house, which quote contained anti 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.800 government propaganda. And then the document there's just a black 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.040 and white photo that shows very clearly in the center 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.880 of a couple of different zones the zine organizing for 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.640 Attack Insurrectionary Anarchy, which seems like it was posed because 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.240 that was the thing, you know, as the FBI agent, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.560 you want front and center in that photo. I don't 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.480 doubt that they found this. It's a pretty common zine 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.280 of just saying I think the picture was staged, right, 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.080 And that's kind of the situation we're in right now, right, 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.480 Like you've got all of these people, I think ten 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:34.040 so far arrests and charged, and they're looking at several 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.920 very nasty charges right now. And I don't think by 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.400 the way ten people have been charged so far, I 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.240 very much would be shocked if that's all that they 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.320 wind up charging, right, because they're going to attempt to 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.679 tie in anybody who was tied to these people who 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.280 might have known about the action, whether or not there's 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:51.959 any evidence that they knew there was going to be 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.719 anything illegal done there. Like, I suspect they are going 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.400 to try to get a lot of other people. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.680 They might just try to get anyone who is at 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:03.040 the protest in general. Yes, the charging document is assuming 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.360 and then like arguing a level of coordination, which the 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.800 state has to prove in a court. And right, the 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.360 coordination that they allege is certainly interesting if that is 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:13.439 the case, if that was. 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.280 Done, yes, Yeah, if they're coordinating, you'd think they would 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.520 have also planned that. It doesn't look like they planned 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:19.880 in any meaningful sense. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:24.280 But now many people use flashlights at protests to annoy 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:25.120 ice agents. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.800 Yeah, look just to see where they're going. 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.040 Yeah, this is something we saw in Portland pretty frequently, 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.200 where people would shine like flashlights at the eyes of 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.120 like bore attack or like lasers famously constantly. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.760 Yeah. People also just use flashlights when it's dark in 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:38.280 the woods. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:38.800 Yeah. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.480 Yeah, So there's a lot of like individual like actions 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.720 like that that they're trying to tie into this larger 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:49.040 coordinated plan that they will have to prove. And certainly 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:53.079 the presence of like anarchistsine propaganda and some of these 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.160 homes will be used as further evidence, as has happened 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:57.120 in like the Green scare. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.800 Yeah, they're certainly like planning for that, right, and that 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.920 would if that works, then they will extend that in 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.199 other areas. And they've already started drawing. Like when DHS 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.679 spokesman first talked about this shooting, they brought up Portland, 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.760 Oregon's ice protests, even though no one's been shot at 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.320 those other than you know, by law enforcement with impact munitions. Yeah, 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.560 Like they brought those up to be like these are 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.839 part of because I think part I think the thing 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.520 that they're at least wanting to leave open. I'm not 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.000 saying I think this is definitely the whole plan, but 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.320 it's something they're open to doing. Is potentially trying to 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.040 argue that like, well we've got you know, anarchism or 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.319 Antifa is like al Qaida, like a decentralized but tied 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.400 together terrorist movement, right, and so we should be able 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.480 to charge these people in Portland with the same kind 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.280 of stuff we're charging these people in Texas with, even 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.720 though they didn't shoot anybody, right. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.880 Just because they have like aligned like aesthetics, they have 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:53.319 aligned like literature in some cases, tactics. Yeah, that's absolutely 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:54.800 what they're going to attempt to do with this. 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:55.280 Yeah. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:59.000 Yeah, We've already seen this famously in San Diego. James 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.440 has reported on that. Yeah. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.400 Yeah, so with the Antifa case here, right, the idea 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.000 this is a membership organization with a hierarchical structure, and 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.720 it doesn't stand up to reasonable scrutiny, but that's not 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.040 going to stop prosecutors from using it right now. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.720 It's something we've also seen in Atlanta with the top 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.520 Cop City case, and I've reported on the past few years, 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.840 and I'm working on something about the current the current 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.400 Cop City trials, which similarly tries to take this decentralized 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.920 group and align them together in an actual reco case. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.920 Yeah, the state's sues everything is top down, because that's 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.280 how the state operates. This isn't new. We've seen it 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.840 in the Green Scare and the numerous other incidence right, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.599 and they will try and charge the maximum with some 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.280 very scary charges. Was potentially massive exposure at prison time. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.959 As we've said before, like a lot of federal cases 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.040 end in plea bargains. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.320 And it's also really important that it doesn't matter even 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.080 if the charges are bullshit, and like for most of 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.280 the people involved, there's not even if even now there's 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.400 not really a chance of catching them on those charges, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.679 you can fuck up someone's life for years just by 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.600 the charges because these are serious charges, because you've got 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.839 like pending felonies, and you may think you have a 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.440 right to a speedy trial, but that doesn't really exist. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:09.680 You know. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.400 You can ask Isila King, who's one of the defendants 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.320 in the Rico trial in Atlanta, who actually did demand 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.599 her right to a speedy trial and was supposed to 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.240 go have her trial I think yesterday before yesterday, like 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.959 two days ago, and it got declared a mistrial, which 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.559 you might think is like, oh good, so she's pretty clear. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.559 No no, no, no, no. That means that they're going 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.040 to do another trial, and it's going to be delayed 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.800 even more until the fall. And your life is very 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.839 different when you have charges like this, Even if you're 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.440 absolutely innocent, even if you get declared innocent, you don't 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:40.720 get that time back. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.000 Yeah. Yeah, it's a significant disincentive. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:44.839 Now. 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.160 That said, I think that for these people, given how 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.600 the regime is treating this and the severity of what's 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:55.000 being alleged, I think that that would be overly fortunate 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.120 to hope for that kind of situation. I have a 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.680 very bad feeling about this case, but it is weird. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.559 I don't think it's gotten the kind of traction online 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.760 or in even in the right wing media that I'd expected. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.200 Yet maybe that's coming. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.920 Yeah, Yeah. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.079 I think part of this could be out of fear 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.600 for inspiring copycats based on like this pretty like country 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.320 wide anger directed at ice right now. And in terms 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.000 of copycats, there already has been another shooting targeting border 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.000 patrol in Texas. Yeah, at around six am on July seventh. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.000 That was this past Monday. A few days later, a 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:34.880 twenty seven year old man spread shooting at a US 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.960 Customs and Border Protection station in McAllen, Texas, firing dozens 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.280 of bullets from a rifle. The two officers in a 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.360 Border Patrol employee were injured, taken to the hospital but survived. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.680 The man who attacked the station was shot and killed. 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.080 The shooter's vehicle had a spray painted message on the 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.880 side referencing an anti authoritarian terrorist group from Call of 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.400 Duty Black Ops too. 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.720 And the fact that it's anyway. I don't want to 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.360 minimize the severity of this, but fucking we're down to 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.120 call of duty terrorist groups now that people are signposting? 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.680 Is that how it's where we are as a society. 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.360 That's that's how culture is these days. Oh my god. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.720 There's a guy in Miyamma who wears a skull mask, 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.000 which is called a ghost mask in Call of Duty, 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.040 I guess, And yeah, includes Call of duty cut scenes 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.000 and videos of him actually shooting Hunter soldiers. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.320 Yeah, and we've seen that in Ukraine too, and obviously, Yeah, anyway, 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.400 whatever continue gear. 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.560 Yeah, I mean that's kind of all there is on 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.880 this so far. Yep, the shooter was killed, so they're 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.560 not doing like a big trial or investigation. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:34.680 He's a Michigander. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.440 Yeah, he was living in Texas recently, though his father 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.080 was pulled over by police a few hours before the shooting. 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.880 The father said that his son was missing and had 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:49.720 a like mental like unstability. It's unclear what he means 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.040 by that exactly, but a few hours later he did 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.760 start shooting at a order patrol building. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.760 So, yeah, just to contact McCallen is a border city 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.720 just north of Reinosa in the Rio Grande Valley there. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:07.280 Yeah, speaking of things that are grand let's look at 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:23.680 these ads. Beautiful and we're back, Okay, so back. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:29.320 Also back is the United States National Guard, which appears 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.680 to be patrolling the border in San Diego, and I've 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.720 heard some reports that they're also making detention. It seems 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.440 that the National Guard are conducting foot patrols now along 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.600 the border. San Diego is not one of the quote 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.120 unquote designated National Defense Areas. So these are areas in 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.120 the Roosevelt Reservation where the US has extended existing military 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.640 bases right and is using that as a means by 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:57.680 which soldiers can detain migrants because they're trespassing on a 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.880 military base. Also makes it easier to charge them with 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.400 something more than just entering without inspection. San Diego is 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.000 not asario as Aerias or east of San Diego, nor 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.639 with San Diego operating under an MoU with the border 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.359 patrol that exists in Texas to allow Texas National Guard 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.040 soldiers to detain migrants. So I'm not exactly sure what 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.719 the authority is here. Sometimes National Guide can work like 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.080 literally alongside border patrol, So that's what could be happening 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.240 that there are multiple reports and images of National Guard 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.919 soldiers in helmets and carrying rifles marching along the border. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.000 The second thing I want to cover today is from 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.680 El Salvador. We found out this week that El Salvadore 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.280 admitted to the United Nations that the men detained in 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.919 SECOD are very much under United States jurisdiction. We know 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.600 this through one of the alien enemies cases. Right in 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.439 the case, a document from the United Nasen's Office of 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.080 the High Commission of a Human Rights Working Group on 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:58.720 Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances was filed. So what it seems 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.159 happened is that the family of some of the people 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.320 who were sent to SECORD had filed this case, with 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:10.320 the un essentially being like, hey, there's been a kidnapping 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.800 and it appears to have been an international kidnapping. Can 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:14.520 you help us? 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:14.960 Right? 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.360 The l Salvadrean government stated in its response to this, 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.800 I believe the document that I am referencing, which is 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.760 the court document which will be in our show notes, 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.600 is a translated version of the Spanish language submission of 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:33.480 the Al Salbareen government. Salvareen government quote. The Salvadrean state 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.480 emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.760 transferred the persons referred to in communications of the working group, 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.400 Skipping a bit and another quote here is the pivotal 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.560 part the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons, like 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.600 exclusively with the competent foreign authorities by virtue of international 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.080 agreements signed in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:00.240 international cooperation in criminal matters. To what they're saying saying 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.479 there is the United States has jurisdiction of these people. Right. 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.160 The United States has previously made the argument in court 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.280 that it cannot return people from the Salvador because they 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.720 are outside of its jurisdiction and it has no ability 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.840 to compel Boukele and his government to return people. The 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.320 Bukele government has told the United Nations that it's not 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.199 the case. So in this particular case, the judge has 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.919 now ordered that the detainee question be returned. Essentially, what 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.239 the judge is saying is did the US government lie 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.480 to me? Or did the salvagory and government lie to 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.680 United Nations? Because these two things are entirely contradictory. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:37.080 Right, I guess my first question here is does that 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.120 ruling matter? Is that going to be enforced in any way? 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.800 How can the United Nations enforce that order? 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:43.840 Yeah? 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.560 I mean, well, so fair United Nations cart right, But 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.400 the case doesn't pertain to the United Nations. The case 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.280 is in the United States with the United States government 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.879 and these petitioners, who are the people who have been 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.720 sent to SECOT. Okay, So nothing that the UN does matter. Yeah, 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:02.080
