We ourselves 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 2: took a week off because the CIA stopped paying us. 20 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. I've always considered us a branch 21 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: of the US government. 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 4: You know, yeah, you and half of the anime people 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 4: on Twitter robots. 24 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: We're back. I don't know, it feels a little bit 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: weird to be doing this White House Weekly episode knowing 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: that there's actually less White House than usual there is. 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: Trump has begun demolishing the East wing of the White 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: House to build a privately fund a two hundred and 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: fifty million dollar ballroom, and I think we should all 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: have a moment of silence for the East Wing. 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 4: Oh. 32 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: I was going to say a moment of celebration because 33 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: now James's people can finally shake hands with the United 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: States government and destroying large portions of the White House. 35 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: I saw it was a Volvo excavator today, so we 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 4: also got the Swedes on board. I guess sure couldn't 38 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: even find an American excavator. Sad we don't make things 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: in this anymore. 40 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because we're still waiting for the tariffs to 41 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: get fully fully enacted. 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. 43 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, once we get that Swedish tariff on. We are 44 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: almost four weeks now into the government shutdown and there's 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: not really a clear end in sight, and Snap Benefits 46 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: food stamps are set to run out in a little 47 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: over a week on November first, Mia, did you want 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: to say something on this. 49 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, So we've been seeing sort of tech start to 50 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: go out to people who are on food assistants in 51 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 3: various states. There's one circulating from Minnesota that is saying 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: that the food part of SNAP Benefits are going to 53 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: shut down in a few days on November first, when 54 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: the funding shuts down. This is a critical lifeline for 55 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: food for an extremely large number of people. And this 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: is also coming in a period where food banks are 57 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: already being stressed by just the other cuts to SNAP 58 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: and other food assistants programs that have already taken place. So, yeah, 59 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: we're coming to a very very critical moment in terms 60 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: of wide scale food insecurity in this country for a 61 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: whole bunch of the most vulnerable people in the country. 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: And yeah, this is a good moment for if you 63 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 3: have actual access to food, which is a very very 64 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: bleak thing to be saying, but you know, something is 65 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: going to have to try to pick up the slack 66 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: or a bunch of people aren't going to eat right, 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: and that's probably going to have to be us, because 68 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: it's first fuck not going to be the government. 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and yeah, it's just the people's need to 70 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: eat is inelastic. 71 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 72 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 4: Just to put some numbers on it, like SNAP in 73 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: twenty four was forty one point seven million people, which 74 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: is about twelve percent of the US population. 75 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a massive cliff. 76 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's particularly bad in certain states. For example, Oregon, 77 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: you know where I live, is set to lose about 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: three quarters of a million people's SNAP benefits. There are 79 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: like four million people in the state. 80 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: Yep, yep. 81 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: And it's also like those people are also disproportionately non 82 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: white and disapportionate clearly and very disapportionately trans Yeah. Yeah. 83 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: And this is something that if straight up the shutdown 84 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: continues and we don't see not benefits payout, this could 85 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: also be a major source of instability because you know, 86 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 3: the thing that happens very quickly when suddenly forty million 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: people don't have food is bread riots. What is going 88 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: to happen with that is deeply unclear, but yeah, we're 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: heading into an extremely bleak time. 90 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: If you're looking at predictors of violent instability in countries, yeah, 91 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: mass starvation is about top of the list. 92 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yep. 93 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: Particularly bread riots usually are in sort of modern era, 94 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: happens with two or three hundred percent increases in food prices, 95 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: usually as a result of sort of im mass structural adjustments. 96 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: But if there was going to be another one, this 97 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: would be it. 98 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 99 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's worth sort of being prepared on both 100 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 3: ends in terms of feeding people and also yeah, with 101 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: whatever was going to happen with this cuts out. 102 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. Meanwhile, during during all of this, during the shutdown 103 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: and during snaps taking clock, Trump wants his Justice Department 104 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: to pay himself two hundred and thirty million dollars in 105 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: compensation for damages coming from past investigations into him. 106 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 1: Seems fair. 107 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: Trump claims that he will give this money to quote 108 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: unquote charity. Seems real clear what that means, what charity 109 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: that will be, how that will really qualify as a 110 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: charitable donation. But he is currently seeking two hundred and 111 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: thirty million dollars of government money to be paid back 112 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: to himself. In the end, it will be him making 113 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: the final call on this, which he says he feels 114 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: strange about. 115 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: Okay, well, it's good. 116 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: You know, he's an honest man, you know, it's great. 117 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we we just fully entered the looting. The 118 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: storehouse is part of the regime. 119 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're taking a very British approach. 120 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: Looting is is putting this too mildly? 121 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, And if you. 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: See the article about the plans to let AI companies 123 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 3: apply to get old weapons grade plutonium to fuel the 124 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: nuclear reactors. 125 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: That seems fine. That's what I trust Sam Altman weapons 126 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: grade plutonium. Yeah, he's gonna use that safely. 127 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully the air bubble collapses before they get. 128 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 1: You know what a great attitude to approach having weapons 129 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: grade plutonium is move fast and break rain. 130 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: Oh god, this is great. It's this week. We're announcing 131 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 4: the start of Kood's Force AI. 132 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: There we go, bring it on, God. 133 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: Break breaking news. US sanction has been placed against two 134 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: of Russia's largest oil companies in an effort to pressure 135 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: the Ukraine Russia piece deal, which Putin just backed out 136 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: of negotiations from as there was plans for him and 137 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: Trump to meet. So that just happened. 138 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: Sexy not sexy. So I think one of the first 139 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: things we want to cover right now, just because this 140 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: is maybe the number one thing I'm seeing people talk 141 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: about on social media right now, is there have been 142 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: articles written about ICE's new weapons budget. Famously their budget 143 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: is increased by seeing like seven hundred percent. A huge 144 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: amount of that's being spent on bonuses in order to 145 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: get people to join, cash payments and whatnot, as well 146 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: as retention bonuses, but a lot more of it's being 147 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: spent on weapons. And right now, the number one thing 148 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm seeing people freak out about is the supposed idea 149 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: from these documents that ICE is purchasing guided missiles and 150 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: chemical weapons. I have heard people say this is ICE, 151 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: which is obviously Trump's SS, you know, making their own 152 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: vafen SS, which were the armed units of the SS. 153 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of shit like this spread, and 154 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: as James is going to tell you, none of that's true. Yeah, 155 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that ICE has a massive increase 156 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: in budget and is buying a shit little weapons is true. 157 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: But they're not guided missiles. 158 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: I doesn't matter what heat guided missiles. Yeah, we're not 159 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: getting a deathhead ICE ICE unit. Come on at the 160 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: next Canal Street ICE rate, they're going to be launching 161 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: heat seeking missiles into Chinatown. 162 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this isn't a problem, but it's not 163 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: what people are saying it is. Yeah, sorry, James, all right. 164 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 4: The source of its claim is a substack page called 165 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: popular Information run by a guy called Juddlygum, and he 166 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 4: has claimed in this piece, I'm just going to quote 167 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 4: the ICE post purchase quote chemical weapons, and quote guided 168 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 4: missile warheads and explosive components. I guess the main thrust 169 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: of the piece was looking at the fact that ICE 170 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 4: spent nine million dollars on geistly ar pattern rifles Patrol 171 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 4: spent more than twice that he appears to have missed 172 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: that in his reporting. This reporting is extremely dishonest. To 173 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: put it mildly, it's either deliberately misleading or massively incompetent. 174 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: The piece in question doesn't link to the individual contracts, which, 175 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 4: like on the face of its bad form, right, if 176 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 4: you're going to be talking about contracts, your contracts are 177 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 4: in the public domain, just linked to them. The piece 178 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: doesn't do that. I went on USA spending dot gov 179 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 4: and a filtered by contracts that have been awarded by ICE. 180 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: I gave date range. 181 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 4: The date range are pertained to the things being discussed 182 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: in the article, and then I filtered by the product 183 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 4: or service code for chemical weapons and guided missile warheads. Right, 184 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 4: two different products or service codes. Product or service codes 185 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: are like these, these four digit codes that exist in 186 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: federal procurement right to put things into buckets basically, and 187 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 4: I found the contracts. The contract very clearly states the 188 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 4: guided missile quote unquote contract. The contract with the guided 189 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 4: missis cell product or service code very clearly states it 190 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: is for multiple distraction devices. Yeah, it's a contract with 191 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: a company called Quantico Tactical. I did call them yesterday, 192 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 4: something that again any competent reporter should do before publishing 193 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 4: a piece that does not appear to have been done 194 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 4: by the substat guy. They gave me an email. I 195 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 4: sent it email more than twenty four hours ago, requesting 196 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 4: comment or clarification. I didn't receive a response at the 197 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 4: time of us going to press. If I hit back 198 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 4: from them before we release this, I will let you 199 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 4: all know the chemical weapons. It was OC spray, it 200 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: WASAB spray, right, And a distraction device. 201 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: By the way, folks, this is something like like a 202 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: sonic grenade, which sounds crazy, but it's a grenade that 203 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: makes a loud noise to distract. 204 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: To bang. 205 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: A flash bang is also a distraction device when you 206 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: used the way that they're use in riots. You know, 207 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a different thing when you're 208 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: using one to like breach bang and clear a door 209 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: or something. But like when you're throwing a flash bang 210 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: at a riot, it's a distraction device because the is 211 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: you've got a bunch of people moving towards an area 212 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: you want to stop them from You distract them by an. 213 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: Explosion, you know. Yeah, and it's distracting. 214 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also and this is you know, one of 215 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: the one of the frustrating elements about this is that 216 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: Ice has been using a whole bunch of these to 217 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 3: blow down people's doors. It's really horrible. 218 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: There are problems. It's problems that they're buying all. 219 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 3: This and no one is talking about it because everyone's 220 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: focused on this. 221 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: When James put up their initial research just on a 222 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: Blue Sky and Twitter, I shared it and people were like, 223 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: it's still a problem they've got that they're getting all 224 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: buying all these new weapons. Do you not care about? Yes? 225 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: I care about that. You're not talking about that, Yeah, 226 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: we care about They're talking about a fantasy like and like. 227 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 4: It is bad that Ice has flash bangs and pepper spray, right, 228 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 4: I have personally broadcasts how they exists like you can 229 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 4: go back only a few months and here ice flash 230 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 4: bangs on this podcast, like recorded by me in person. 231 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 4: We know they fucking have them because they were throwing 232 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: them at me. 233 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've lost count of how many have hit me directly. 234 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 235 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got to at least seventy five percent fucking federal 236 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 4: government flashbang impact, you know. Like I want to take 237 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 4: second guess to talk about incentives here because this really 238 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 4: pisses me off. Yeah, And I think that the way 239 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 4: we build trust in the media is through openness, and 240 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 4: I think that we do that better than most and 241 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 4: I'm going to try and do that here, just so 242 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: you know, none of us make any extra money if 243 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 4: more people download this podcast, at least not directly. Right, 244 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 4: we do not have a direct incentive to make fantastical 245 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: claims that will lead to people downloading our podcast and 246 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: being afraid that is not true for people who have 247 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 4: these substick outlets, right Like, Like. 248 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll let me clarify, we do have a 249 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: direct financial interest in there being traffic, right, because that 250 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: is that's how we make our money, right like, and 251 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: that's how we justify getting raisers and stuff. So, like 252 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: everyone in media if more people listen to our stuff, 253 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: like we do have a financial interest in that over time, 254 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: not checking week to week to see if we're getting 255 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: if what we're doing is bringing us in more direct money, right, Like, 256 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: that's just not the way our thing works. 257 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, and when people are on their own, they're doing 258 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 4: these subs a catet there, there is a very real 259 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 4: incentive to do that, right. 260 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: We also have a team here, We fact check each other. 261 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: We do our best.

Right, sort of spending you see from 272 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 4: a special forces unit that are very not special like 273 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 4: like police agency, right, Like like that's just spending, Like 274 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 4: they have an open checkbook. 275 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: Like Ice is continuing to buy the same weapons with 276 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: which they have been hurting people the entirety almost of 277 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: the twenty first century, and they're hurting more people now 278 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: and will be hurting even more people in the future 279 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: because they will have even more money. And that's bad. 280 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: And you don't, like, what would they even do with 281 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: a guided missiles? 282 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense on the face for it's sixty 283 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: one grand.

People, It's just ludicrous, man, 286 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 4: What the fuck they think they're going like like Tomahawk, 287 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 4: I know, like a strawberry picking facility, Like it's ludicrous, 288 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 4: it's fucking ridiculous, a chemical weapon. 289 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you can talk about Substack and they're being 290 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: fucked up things about the company. But like, honestly, I 291 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: think that it's overstated. But I think people focus on 292 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: that extent of like, well, yeah, which of them aren't 293 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: What where is the non Nazi social media company that 294 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: has any kind of reach? 295 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 4: You know? 296 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: But that's really not even the point I care to make. 297 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: What I will say, the problem here is not even 298 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: just that like when people are working for an audience 299 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: like that, we're week to week, however, many people are 300 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: donating and whatnot kind of can incentivize you to follow 301 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: certain rabbit holes and push certain things. I think one 302 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: of the bigger problems is that what you have is 303 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: a generation very of the most talented and successful journalists 304 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: in terms of their skill of like writing and their 305 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: ability to build an audience that follows them. Those people 306 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: have all moved to a platform where they by default 307 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: don't have an editor, and like every journalist worth they're solved. 308 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: I've had my fights and frustrations with editors at a 309 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: variety of publications, and sometimes they're knowing, and sometimes editors suck, 310 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: and sometimes publications a big part of what they're doing 311 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: is just trying to water down your shit. But that's 312 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: not the only thing editors do. A major thing editors 313 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: do is point out, Hey, I get that you're really 314 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: into this, and I get that you find this compelling, 315 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: but as an objective observer, I'm seeing this hole in 316 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: this hole in this hole, and you need to, for example, 317 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: haul these people and make sure that this because it 318 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: doesn't look like this is actually a guided missile it 319 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: looks like somebody just fucked up putting in a code. 320 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: We need to check on this so we can state 321 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: it to a point of certainty. That's what an editor 322 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: should be doing, right, Yeah. 323 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 4: Even if they're responsible journalist, Like I wouldn't have submitted 324 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 4: that piece to an editor without having checked that first. Like, sure, 325 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 4: it took me five minutes to cool them. I should 326 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 4: add that the PFCs in question for grenades and warheads 327 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 4: are one digit different, right again. 328 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: Right, which is which is what happened here? 329 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: It certainly looks that way. 330 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and again this is why part of how 331 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: responsible journalism is supposed to work is that you never 332 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: have just one eye on a story, because every journalist 333 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: will inevitably miss things if you're doing that, right, That's 334 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: why you are supposed to The idea is to have 335 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: multiple eyes on a thing so that oh, hey it 336 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: looks like you skipped over this, or hey it just 337 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: occurred to me.

DHS 482 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 4: has been throwing out some really big numbers for deportation, 483 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 4: claiming over half a million removed and one point six 484 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 4: million quote unquote self deported. 485 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,479 Speaker 2: These are inflated numbers. 486 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 4: These include things like people turned away airports and Coastguard 487 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 4: into dictions. 488 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: Right that they are not removals of people from the 489 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: interior of the United States who were residing here. They're 490 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: like if someone maybe if someone came with a visa 491 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: and was turned around the airport, they're including that as 492 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 2: a deportation. 493 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 7: Right. 494 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 4: DHS has stopped publishing a lot of the data that 495 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 4: we previously got under this administration, so we don't have 496 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 4: a lot of hard numbers, but at one point six 497 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 4: million number. This comes from CIS right, the Center for 498 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 4: Immigration Studies. We talked about them before this is a 499 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 4: Tanton funded quote unquote think tank, which the SPLC has 500 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 4: adjudicated as a hate group. The CIS Data DHS has 501 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 4: been like sharing this since it came out. But it 502 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 4: also so it seems to be weighing very heavily into 503 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: whatever algorithm Musk has put into Grok recently. If you 504 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 4: look for mentions on x the Everything website of the 505 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 4: one point six million number, nearly all of them are 506 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 4: Groq repeating it. God, I don't know if they straight 507 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 4: up just said like, yeah, the CIS is your source 508 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 4: for information when they were, you know, programming it to 509 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 4: be less woke but slightly more woke than when it 510 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 4: called itself Mecha Hitler, But it seems to be the 511 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 4: CIS seems to be heavily weighed in the Grock algorithm 512 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 4: these days, which I thought was interesting. 513 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, they did get that GROC contract approved a few 514 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: months ago. 515 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 4: I think the DHS didn't get the number from GROK. 516 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 4: I think they got it from CIS, but nonetheless like 517 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 4: the reason that that number is still in the side guy. 518 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 4: So I think it's partially because Grok keeps repeating it. Well, 519 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 4: you know it is. It is gro October as I've 520 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 4: been saying, Garrison, we have fucking spoken about this. It's 521 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 4: not Groctober angry. 522 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 2: The other thing I do want to mention on a 523 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: I guess not deportations, but the Department of State has 524 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 2: announced a series of people who have had their visas 525 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: revoked for posts surrounding the death of Charlie Kirk. The 526 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 2: State Department Twitter account posted a whole thread on x 527 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 2: the Everything app listing various sentences and sentiments that resulted 528 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 2: in visas being revoked. Quote Charlie Kirk was a son 529 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: of a bitch and he died by his own rules. 530 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 2: Visa revoked. When fascists die, Democrats don't complain, VISO revoked. 531 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 2: It from a German national Resilient National said that quote 532 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where 533 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: they marched in homage to him, and that Kirk died 534 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: too late. Visa revoked. There's like four other of these 535 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: people making statements of that nature. 536 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think people get the idea. 537 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. Following Kirkstath Rubio to announce he would be looking 538 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 2: for visa holders who made statements following Kirk's death, and 539 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 2: he has followed through on that promise in some other 540 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk news. A few weeks ago, Turning Point USA 541 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 2: officially announced that they would be producing an alternative halftime 542 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: show after it was announced that the Puerto Rican artist 543 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: Bad Bunny would be performing at the twenty twenty six 544 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. The TPUSA show will be called a Quote 545 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 2: All American Halftime Show, celebrating faith, family, and freedom. The 546 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 2: website has a submission form where it asks which genres 547 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 2: should be featured during the show. The options include quote 548 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: anything in English, American classic rock, country, hip hop, pop, 549 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: and worship. 550 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: I love anything in English as a genre. 551 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. When I get to Spotify, that's what I put in. 552 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: The crowd's gonna riot when someone does Hotel California. 553 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 2: We can really push anything at English. Frankly, we could 554 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: go to some pretty he places. 555 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I didn't think they've already considered the breadth 556 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,479 Speaker 4: of that genre. 557 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 2: You know. 558 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: I will say. How they could get me back on 559 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: board is in if in addition to a separate halftime show, 560 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: they had a separate super Bowl in which Ben Shapiro 561 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: faces off alone against the Philadelphia Eagles. 562 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 3: Oh that would be so fun. 563 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would let Ben Shapiro bring some friends. 564 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 3: No, No, I want to see Jalen Hurts physically pick 565 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 3: up Ben Shapiro and see how far he can pass him, 566 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 3: because I'm pretty, I'm. 567 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: Pretty sud at least at least sixty year. 568 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 3: That guy Benches. That guy could like bench a small 569 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 3: motor vehicle like benches Shapiro. Yeah. 570 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: More details and performers will be announced later, including how 571 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: this will be broadcast, will be streamed online? Are they 572 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: don't trying to make a TV deal with someone like, 573 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: you know, Fox? You know, unclear how this will be broadcast, 574 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: but it is something they're going to go through. On 575 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 2: last thing we should probably talk about before the break 576 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 2: or I don't know, maybe maybe we could combine this 577 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: with the section you wanted to talk about Robert on 578 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: the Infiltrations. But right after our Executive Disorder episode from 579 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: two weeks ago, literally like like hours after, on October eighth, 580 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 2: right wing influencers gathered at the White House to discuss 581 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: with Trump and cabinet members their theories and carrowing stories 582 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: of Antifa at this big Antifa roundtable. Yeah, I'm gonna 583 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 2: play a short clip like a few seconds from Jack 584 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 2: Pasoba get in there noted far. 585 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 3: Right extremist and poster Jack. 586 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: Pasobic certainly noted poster it's a great guy. Yeah, Antifa 587 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: is real. 588 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 8: Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost one 589 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 8: hundred years, in some instances, going back to the Weimar 590 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 8: Republic in Germany. 591 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: Huh, I wonder, I wonder why it went back to 592 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: the Wymar republican German? What what? What else was happening 593 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: at that time in Germany. It's very interesting you say that, Jack, 594 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 2: Very interesting, Jack. What other opinions do you have on 595 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 2: Fimar Republic? 596 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 4: Jack? 597 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is worrisome, right, the fact that these 598 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: idiots are getting to speak this close to power about 599 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: their theory, which is basically that everyone they don't like 600 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: or who has said anything they don't like as part 601 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: of a terrorist organization and should be put in prisoner executed. 602 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: Like that's the gist of what all of the people 603 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: at that roundtable believe. 604 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 2: A whole bunch of like, you know, post millennial people, 605 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: and you know that that that whole that whole right, 606 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 2: like a genre of like you know, right wing antifa journalists, journalistic. 607 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: Yes, everyone I don't like equals terrorists. Yes, So that's 608 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: really worrisome, and I just I kind of wanted to 609 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: make a note here to people that as a result 610 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: of stuff like this, in case you somehow have not 611 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: been aware of this, we're going to be seeing a 612 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: massive ramp up in not just attempts at prosecution, but 613 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: at attempts to infiltrate and get gotcha footage and audio 614 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: of different left wing and anarchist groups that are going 615 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: to be used as pretexts for further crackdowns. I would 616 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: say it's just a time to be aware of that 617 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: and be aware of the fact that anytime you are 618 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: speaking or at a public event where other people are speaking, 619 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: you should assume that that's being recorded and that people 620 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: will be pulling out the worst parts they can from 621 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: it and trying to use that to destroy people's lives. 622 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: And I bring that up because there's been a couple 623 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: that just really broke today, some potentially pretty high profile 624 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: examples of this. One of them is that at a 625 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: panel for Firestorm Books, they had a speaker, guy named 626 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: Eric King, who was convicted of a firebombing. He's a 627 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: left wing activist. He spent almost ten years in prison, 628 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: at a horrific time in prison. I mean just abused 629 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: by the system and some of the worst playways possible 630 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,239 Speaker 1: and is finally out. And Eric did a talk at 631 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: Firestorm Books and he made basically his statement that activists 632 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: need to hurt them where it counts, saying we can 633 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: force them to shut the fuck up when it hurts 634 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: their wallilet enough, or you can find other ways to 635 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: hurt them. Now that's not saying anything inherently illegal. Again, 636 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: he starts it by saying we can force them to 637 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: shut up when it hurts their wallet enough. That's talking 638 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: about like boycotts and stuff. But the phrase other ways 639 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: to hurt them is vague enough. That's pretty easy for 640 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: these guys to cut stuff out. And I'm looking at 641 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: a post by quote end quote investigated analysts for the 642 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: Manhattan STU Smith. He's framing this as known ANTIFA firebomber 643 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: calls for escalation, and again that's not necessarily inaccurate look 644 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: at what Eric was saying. But it's easy to pull 645 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: stuff out like this from something like what appears to 646 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: have been a fairly open zoom call that is not 647 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: hard for someone to get in to and record and 648 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: pull something out of to try and make the case 649 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: that someone like Eric should be back in prison, or 650 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: that Firestorm Books is a party, you know, providing material 651 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: support to an extremist organization. And what I'm not trying 652 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: to do is say like and so people should not 653 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: talk and gather in public because they're going to be 654 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: doing this. But you need to be aware that anything 655 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: said it's something like this that's in any way open, 656 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: and even if you try to make it kind of 657 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: more closed than this, they will try to get people in. 658 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: This is something that is increasingly going to happen, and 659 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: so people just need to be You can't you can't 660 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: just kind of hope that they're not paying attention. You 661 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: have to be aware of the fact that they're out 662 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 1: there and they're going to be trying to infiltrate any 663 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: sort of thing like this they can to get pretexts 664 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: for further crackdowns. And another recent example of this Frontlines 665 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: tp USA, which is Turning Point ussays, I mean, it's 666 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: their version of the actual front line journalism show. But 667 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: they did an investigation where they went undercover to the 668 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: Oakland in Seattle anarchist book fairs, right, and again, there's 669 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with doing those book fairs, I'm sure what 670 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 1: they're doing here is pulling whatever quotes they could grab 671 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: from people that sound bad out of context and using 672 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: them to try to make the case that again, these 673 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: are violent extremist events that need to be cracked down on. 674 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: And I will reiterate I'm not saying don't do book fares. 675 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying don't show up at events like this. 676 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying if you show up, be aware that stuff 677 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: like this is going to be happening, that they're going 678 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: to be people recording, that they're going to be people 679 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: trying to find what they can to destroy people who 680 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: are at these events, and that that's something that needs 681 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: to be in your threat model, right in terms of 682 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: how you dress when you go there, how visible you are, 683 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: and what you're willing to say around people, right, among 684 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: other things. I guess what I'm saying is there's some 685 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: jokes you shouldn't be making in public at events like 686 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: this unless you want there to be a high risk 687 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: of it coming back to bite you in the ass. 688 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 689 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 2: I think that's that's perfectly reasonable. 690 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: Yep. 691 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 2: During the ANTIFA roundtable panel, this guy named Seamus Brunners. Seamus, 692 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 2: It says, seamss guys Jesus. It says seems that that 693 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 2: is does We're gonna have to stop you right that 694 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 2: that's that's a shame, but it says Seamus the director 695 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: of research at the Government Accountability Institute, discussed his theory 696 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 2: of how a network of NGOs are funding Antifa. This 697 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 2: is a this is a longer clip, but I think 698 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 2: it's important to look at how they are approaching this, 699 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 2: like how they are approaching this Antifa as an organization. 700 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 5: This is not just a story about violence and chaos, 701 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 5: as you alluded to, mister President. This is a money story. 702 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 5: And at the Government Accountability Institute, my colleague and I, 703 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 5: Peter schoy I and our team we follow the money 704 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 5: and we followed it to the top of what we 705 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 5: call the protest industrial complex riot Inc. And we found 706 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 5: a network of NGOs. It's not just the Soros network, 707 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 5: the Open Society network, it's other funding networks, the Arabella 708 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 5: funding network, the Tides funding network, Neville Roy Singham and 709 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 5: his network, Foreign Cash, and it's also big left wing 710 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,240 Speaker 5: funder Some of them are not citizens of this country, 711 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 5: mister Hans jorg Vis of Switzerland. They're pouring money into 712 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 5: this entire ecosystem. And so I want to share three 713 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 5: money facts with you about what we call Riot Inc. 714 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 5: Number One, like any corporation, Riot Inc. Has many divisions. 715 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 5: It doesn't just have the Antifa boots on the ground division. 716 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 5: It has pr divisions, it has marketing divisions, It has 717 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 5: a very well funded legal division to get these boots 718 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 5: on the ground back on the streets as quickly as possible. 719 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 5: But it does have those investors that I mentioned. Number two, 720 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 5: we have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the 721 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 5: decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have 722 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 5: received more than one hundred million dollars from the riot 723 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 5: Ink investors. These would be the lawyer groups, These would 724 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 5: be the groups that advocate for calling good, honest Americans fascists, 725 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 5: et cetera. And then three, I think the most shocking 726 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 5: thing is that we have found that more than one 727 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:29,280 Speaker 5: hundred million dollars in US taxpayer funding has flowed into 728 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 5: these funding networks, including at least four million dollars to 729 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 5: these very groups themselves, not just Antifa types. But there 730 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 5: was an event in Atlanta called stopcop City. Over sixty 731 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 5: rioters were charged with domestic terrorism. These groups received money 732 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 5: for that from both the billionaire class as well as 733 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 5: taxpayer money. 734 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 2: Unclear what he's talking about in terms of taxpayer money 735 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 2: going to the sixty RICO defendants in Atlanta, But the 736 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 2: structure's talking about, how is riot Inc Includes not just 737 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 2: like Antifa as in you know, people wearing black hoodies 738 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 2: on the streets at a protest, but like, you know, 739 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 2: legal support organizations, even like like research organizations that you 740 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 2: know advocate calling you know, good honest American's fascists, right 741 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 2: this this could refer to groups like Media Matters or 742 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 2: like Southern Poverty Law Center who do research into extremist organizations. 743 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 2: They could be framing the people like that as a 744 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 2: part of this this whole ecosystem, and that's that's where 745 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 2: they could be looking at for sources of money and 746 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 2: funding and like tracking where that money goes is in 747 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 2: groups like that, not obviously you know, your average black 748 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 2: claud Antifa protesters, not it's not receiving payment for their 749 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 2: presence at these at these events. But this guy went 750 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 2: on to claim that quote unquote, Riot Inc. Funding network 751 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 2: also supports decentralized crowdfunding platforms which fund organizations like the 752 00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 2: ELM for John Brown gun club and these Socialist Rifles Association. 753 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 2: After he went on this like three minute long speech, 754 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 2: Trump asked him and other attendees that if they knew 755 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 2: anything about like ANTIFA members, funders, or the organizational structure, 756 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 2: to hand over that information to Pam Bondie or Cash 757 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 2: Patel and Trump reiterated this multiple times during the roundtable, 758 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 2: asking these you know, policy guys or quote unquote independent 759 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,919 Speaker 2: journalists to hand over their information to the authorities.

We're back baby, yeah yeah. 797 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 3: So literally within twelve hours I think of the of 798 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 3: the release at night of our last episode of this show, 799 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 3: we got the resumption of the trade war, so specifically, 800 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 3: Trump has announced effectively the full scale resumption of the 801 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 3: trade will which China. This started kind of out of 802 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 3: nowhere with Trump administration doing something that I think they 803 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 3: didn't think was very provocative, because I don't quite think 804 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 3: they understood the magnitude of what they were doing. This 805 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 3: basically started with a Trump administration massively increasing export restrictions 806 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 3: to China by changing the rules of what companies are 807 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 3: covered by what's called the Entity List, which is a 808 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 3: list of companies that American companies are not allowed to 809 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 3: sell goods and services to. The administration moved this to 810 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 3: include any company that is fifty percent or more owned 811 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 3: by a company on the export list. We've discussed on 812 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 3: the show before that a significant part of the structure 813 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,439 Speaker 3: of Chinese corporate conglomerates are held together by a bunch 814 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 3: of different companies, you know, having partial ownership by the 815 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 3: same holding companies, which is what sort of binds companies 816 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 3: and conglomerates together into race them into the management structure 817 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 3: of the conglomerates. This is how Chinese state owned enterprises work. 818 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 3: Being state owned enterprise literally means that you are partly 819 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 3: or completely owned by a holding company run by SASSAK, 820 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 3: which is the state owned Asset Supervision and Administration Commission 821 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 3: of the State Council, because every name of the CCP 822 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 3: is like that. So this shift to anything that's fifty 823 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 3: percent or more owned by a company on this list 824 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 3: is actually a massive export restriction, and the Chinese government 825 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 3: took this as okay, we're starting the trade war again, 826 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 3: so very quickly. There's a whole bunch of different tat 827 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 3: things that we're not going to track the order of 828 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 3: because they kind of don't matter. But on October tenth, 829 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 3: Trump made a Twitter post where he said that he 830 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 3: was going to implement a one hundred percent tariff and 831 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 3: also a software restriction thing we'll talk about later. Those 832 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 3: are supposed to go into effect on the first. He's 833 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,280 Speaker 3: also been talking in the last week about bringing tariffs 834 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 3: up to one hundred and fifty percent. We don't have 835 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 3: any kind of formal executive order on that. This was 836 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 3: to some extent in response to China implementing massive restrictions 837 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 3: on the export of rare earth metals. These are crucial 838 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:13,439 Speaker 3: to basically any kind of advanced manufacturing, industrial manufacturing, applications 839 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 3: everything from chips, electric cars that jet fighters. These are 840 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 3: set to take effect on December first. I'm going to 841 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 3: read this from the New York Times to get an 842 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,439 Speaker 3: understanding of how large these moves are. China refines ninety 843 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 3: nine percent of the world's prosium, a kind of rare 844 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 3: earth metal that is used in chips to preserve magnetic 845 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 3: stability even when they become hot. In the last few years, 846 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 3: Nvidia and other semi conductor manufacturers have changed the materials 847 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 3: used in electricity management devices called capacitors, which is a 848 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 3: really funny way to describe a capacitor, by the way, 849 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 3: but on chips to make them more heat resistant. The 850 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 3: capacitors are made from ultra pure dysprosium, which is extremely 851 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 3: difficult to refine. A single refinery in Wushi, near Shanghai 852 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 3: produces the entire world's supply, so prove New York Times. 853 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 3: These support restrictions include any good that is produced with 854 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 3: these rare earth metals, and require foreign companies operating in China, 855 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 3: like for example, Samsung or any of the sort of 856 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 3: South Korean or Taiwanese chip manufacturers to acquire export licenses 857 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 3: to you know, like sell them to any other country 858 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 3: that's not China. That is a absolutely massive restriction on 859 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 3: export goods. And also again a whole bunch of critical 860 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 3: minerals that both the American military apparatus relies on and 861 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 3: the American tech apparatus relies on. AI chips need a 862 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: whole bunch of these things. So you know, in the 863 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 3: middle of this process, the US also started charging Chinese 864 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 3: built ships for docking at US ports, which China retaliated 865 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 3: by imposing docking fees for American ships. I'm going to 866 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 3: go and read from New York Times here. The new 867 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,919 Speaker 3: rules are the most stringent for Chinese shipping companies, which 868 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 3: for the most part, cannot avoid the levies. HSBC, an 869 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 3: investment bank, estimated that Costco not that Costco different one, 870 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 3: a large Chinese shipping line, could pay one point five 871 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 3: billion dollars in fees next year, which the bank said 872 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 3: could reduce Costco's operating earnings by nearly three fourths in 873 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. And again, it's it's worth it's worth 874 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 3: noting that these shipping, these shipping companies are the backbone 875 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 3: of global trade. They also their margins are not very 876 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 3: good and a significant number of them basically only didn't 877 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 3: go under dream lock during the lockdowns because they effectively 878 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 3: lied on their loan applications and we're just sort of 879 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 3: putting in their revenue as if the lockdowns weren't happening. 880 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 3: So this is all very very fragile infrastructure that is 881 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 3: being you know, attacked, and these these port fees are 882 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 3: already in. 883 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 2: Effect me doing gay cruising on my European trip. Yeah, 884 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 2: I like global trade, all right, I continue. 885 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 3: Oh god, okay, So we also got to report today. 886 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 3: This is Wednesday, the twenty seconds this is being reported, 887 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 3: so who fucking knows what will be happening by the 888 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 3: time this episode comes out. But on Wednesday, we've got 889 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 3: to report from Reuters about the other one of the 890 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,320 Speaker 3: other options that Trump administration is considering for these massive 891 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 3: sort of trade attacks on China. So I said, I 892 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 3: said earlier when I talked about the one hundred percent tariff, 893 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 3: Trump also mentioned a software export ban. So perb Reuters, 894 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 3: what's being considered here, and again we have note we 895 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 3: have very few concrete details about this. This hasn't been 896 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 3: formally announced, my guests, is that it's being leaked to 897 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 3: routers by the administration, but I just don't know. But 898 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 3: what they're considering basically is a version of the sanctions 899 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,760 Speaker 3: that effectively Biden applied to Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, 900 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,800 Speaker 3: which restricts the export of any product made with US software. 901 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 3: This would be probably the most significant developments of the 902 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 3: entire trade war. And so these are all incredibly significant escalations. 903 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 3: A bunch of the stuff is set to go into 904 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 3: effect on November first, which is very very soon now. 905 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,839 Speaker 3: In theory, Trump and Chi Jianping are supposed to meet 906 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 3: at the meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum 907 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,719 Speaker 3: in South Korea, but there's been no formal announcements of 908 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 3: their meeting. Trumps that he was going to go to 909 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 3: China and early next year, but that's again next year. 910 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 3: The American one hundred percent tariff again November first. The 911 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 3: Chinese export restrictions on rare earth metals again December first. 912 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 913 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 3: The other issue here is that the actual event starts 914 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 3: on October thirty first, and the first terrorists was supposed 915 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,879 Speaker 3: to going to affect the next day. 916 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 2: Very spooky, very spooky, indeed. 917 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so Trump is mad also about China refusing 918 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 3: to buy American soybeans story we've been covering. Yeah, and 919 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 3: you know, he's complaining about the rare earth metal soft 920 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,879 Speaker 3: and he's complaining about he's still yelling about fence and all. 921 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,799 Speaker 3: But it's also worth mentioning one of the fascinating things 922 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 3: is Trump is continuing to piss off even more parts 923 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,439 Speaker 3: of his base with this stuff. So soybean farmers, which 924 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 3: is again a huge portion of American farmers, are really 925 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,279 Speaker 3: mad at him. He's also pissing off cattle ranchers, So 926 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 3: both the soybean farmers and the cattle ranchers are mad 927 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 3: at Trump for giving a bunch of money to Argentina 928 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 3: and not giving them a bunch of money and cutting 929 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 3: off their ACKs to Chinese markets because Argentina again is 930 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 3: selling a whole bunch of stuff to China. One of 931 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 3: the things that they sell to China is beef, because 932 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 3: Argentina is a major beef exporter. So they're all really 933 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 3: mad at him for giving Argentina a giant bailout in 934 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,839 Speaker 3: order to try to save they're failing economy under their 935 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 3: unhinged an arco capitalist and president who has annihilated the 936 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 3: economy even more than it was before. And then Trump's 937 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 3: response to the cattle ranchers being mad at him was 938 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,839 Speaker 3: telling them to lower their prices, which means they're even 939 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 3: more mad at him. So he is systematically alienating too 940 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 3: of what should be his most important basis of support. 941 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,320 Speaker 3: And like the cattle industry has been a based Republican 942 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 3: support for I mean since time of Memorial. Effectively, the 943 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 3: lumber and vanity tariffs that we mentioned last week have 944 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:17,280 Speaker 3: taken effect now there's been no rollback of them. And finally, 945 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 3: I want to close on a story that we're going 946 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 3: to be covering more on Monday, which is the continuing 947 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 3: escalation of a sort of conflict between Colombia and the 948 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 3: US after the US murders about full of what appeared 949 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 3: to be Columbian fishermen. Yes, Columbia has recalled its ambassador, 950 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 3: and the US has said that it is going to 951 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,800 Speaker 3: eliminate all foreign aid and impose a tariff the size 952 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 3: of which they haven't given a consistent number. Four And 953 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 3: this is, you know, very much could look like a 954 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 3: pretty massive reorientation of American policy around Columbia, which has 955 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 3: traditionally been an American ally And we've ran desk squads 956 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,439 Speaker 3: out of there for a very very long time. Yeah, 957 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 3: and that has been the lightning round rapid fire trade 958 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:14,359 Speaker 3: war coverage because oh boy, yeah, yay, we've tariff talked. 959 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,720 Speaker 2: All right. Before we close, I do want to talk 960 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 2: a little bit about one of the news stories this 961 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 2: week about US political figures being like Nazism. No, not 962 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:31,320 Speaker 2: the main candidate, and no, not that other Republican staffer 963 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 2: who had a swastika in his cubicle. The political story 964 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:40,799 Speaker 2: that reported leaked messages from the New York Young Republican 965 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 2: telegram chat, which already tells you that it's going to 966 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 2: be problematic, the fact that they have a telegram chat. Yeah, 967 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 2: but the Political reported that this chat contain messages about 968 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 2: putting political opponents in gas chambers, loving Hitler, as well 969 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 2: as plenty of anti semitism, talking about raping their enemies, 970 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 2: and hundreds of uses of homophonebic and raycistlers. The chair 971 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 2: of the New York State Young Republicans, Bobby Walker, allegedly 972 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 2: called rape epic and wrote in the chat quote if 973 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 2: we ever had a leak of this chat, we would 974 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:19,319 Speaker 2: be cooked unquote. New York Republican Elise Stephanic first denounced 975 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 2: this chat after the report, though later called the Politico 976 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 2: piece a quote unquote hit job. The Matt Walsh side 977 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 2: of the online right condemned those who leaked the chats, 978 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,279 Speaker 2: neglecting to discuss the substance of the chat itself, while 979 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 2: Vance largely dismissed the affair, writing on X the Everything 980 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 2: App quote I refused to join the pearl clutching when 981 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 2: powerful people call for political violence unquote. Vance falsely referred 982 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 2: to this as a college group chat when team members 983 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 2: were as old as forty years old. A day later, 984 00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 2: while guesting on the Charlie Kirk Show, JD. Vance continue 985 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 2: to push back on the seriousness of this story and 986 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 2: play defense by repeatedly referring to the grown that involved 987 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,279 Speaker 2: to our in their twenties and forties as kids and 988 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:10,280 Speaker 2: young boys. 989 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 9: Somehow they got their hands on something like twenty eight 990 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 9: thousand messages in some group chat group chat of I 991 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 9: think twelve people that nobody's ever heard of. But they 992 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 9: decided to just publish every single thing in this chat, 993 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 9: whatever they found that they thought was the most salacious, 994 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 9: and I think ten years ago there would have been 995 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,240 Speaker 9: a very different response to it. But people are starting 996 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 9: to learn from this and the vice president. 997 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 8: Is one of the reasons why I'm sorry. Focus on 998 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 8: the real issues, don't focus on what kids say in 999 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 8: group chats. But there's another angle to this that I 1000 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 8: just have to be honest about. I mean, I'm like 1001 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 8: an old guy at this one. I'm forty one years old. 1002 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 8: I have three kids. You know, I grew up in 1003 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 8: a different world, right where not most of what the 1004 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 8: stupid things that I did when I was a teenager 1005 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 8: and a young adult, they're not on the internet. Like 1006 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 8: I'm going to tell my kids, especially my boys, don't 1007 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,759 Speaker 8: put things on the end, Like, be careful with what 1008 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 8: you post. If you put something in a group chat, 1009 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 8: assume that some scumbag is going to leak it in 1010 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,359 Speaker 8: an effort to try to cause you harm or cause 1011 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 8: your family harm. But the reality is that kids do 1012 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:16,800 Speaker 8: stupid things, especially young boys. They tell edgy, offensive jokes, 1013 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,640 Speaker 8: like that's what kids do. And I really don't want 1014 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 8: us to grow up in a country where a kid 1015 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 8: telling a stupid joke, telling a very offensive, stupid joke 1016 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,320 Speaker 8: is caused to ruin their lives. And at some point 1017 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 8: we're all going to have to say enough of this. Bs. 1018 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 8: We're not going to allow the worst moment and a 1019 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 8: twenty one year old's group chat to ruin a kid's 1020 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 8: life for the rest of time. 1021 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 1: That's just not okay. 1022 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 8: Like, we live in a digital world. This stuff is 1023 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 8: now etchtin stone online. We're all going to have to say, 1024 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 8: you know what, no, no, no, we're not doing this. 1025 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 8: We're not canceling kids because they do something stupid in 1026 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 8: a group chat. And if I have to be the 1027 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 8: person who carries that message forward, I'm fine with him. 1028 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 5: Right. 1029 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 2: Once again, most of these guys are like in their thirties. 1030 00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 2: These guys are adults. You know, the New York Young 1031 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 2: Republicans is not a whole bunch of kids. These are young, 1032 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 2: like political in political years, because everyone who runs the 1033 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 2: country is quasi geriatric. Self proclaimed theocratic fascist Matt Walsh said, quote, 1034 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,919 Speaker 2: the right doesn't stick together. That's our biggest problem. By far, 1035 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 2: Conservatives are quick to denounce each other, jump on dog piles, 1036 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,439 Speaker 2: disavow attack their allies. I said a few weeks ago 1037 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 2: that we all need to band together in the wake 1038 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,799 Speaker 2: of Charlie's death, and the answer I got back from 1039 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 2: a lot of people on the right was basically no, Well, okay, 1040 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 2: then guys, we'll just lose. Instead, the left will keep 1041 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 2: up the United Front and defend their guys no matter what. Well, 1042 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 2: we keep throwing each other to the wolves at every opportunity. 1043 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:54,840 Speaker 2: Great plan. Unquote. Shapiro did beef a bit with Walsh 1044 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,440 Speaker 2: on one of their daily wire group podcasts regarding the 1045 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 2: substance of these chats. Shapiro did seem more concerned at 1046 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 2: the growing anti Semitic and not the fascistic element of 1047 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 2: the Republican Party, whereas Walsh is does not care about 1048 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,720 Speaker 2: that at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not not a problem 1049 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 2: for self proclaimed theocratic fascist Matt Walsh. Yeah, so that's 1050 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 2: one side of this whole political story that I wanted 1051 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,959 Speaker 2: to talk about. You should just read the political piece. 1052 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure lots people have. It got pretty popular a 1053 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 2: few days ago. But I find the sort of I mean, 1054 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 2: I would have called it like the dissident right reaction, 1055 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 2: But when you have the vice president as like, yep, 1056 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 2: the guy leading the charge on this type of stuff, 1057 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 2: it's not really distanct Like there is a large number 1058 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 2: of Republicans who are condemning the contents of this chat, 1059 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 2: but you do have the vice president of the country 1060 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 2: playing defense for it, Yeah, and for the people involved. 1061 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 3: And I think this is actually a very important thing 1062 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 3: about what the structure of the Republican Party is right now, 1063 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 3: which is these kind of low levels like staffers, right 1064 00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 3: the young Republican people, and these are a bunch of 1065 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 3: people who are from making White House policy. You know, 1066 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 3: Stephen Miller is, you know, the guy who's doing a 1067 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 3: whole bunch of a whole bunch of the sort of 1068 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 3: ethnic cleansing deportation policy right now. Are just Nazis. They're 1069 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 3: just Nazis. And every time one of these group jets 1070 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 3: comes out, it looks like this. And that's a really 1071 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,919 Speaker 3: significant factor in why American politics looks like this, which 1072 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 3: is that like the people who are entering the Republican 1073 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 3: Party right now, who are like their sort of youth 1074 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 3: wing quote unquote, are these people and we're seeing their 1075 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 3: policies get enacted. It fucking sucks. 1076 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 2: I mean, it's often baked in this like post ironic, 1077 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 2: like like a joking way, where you know, obviously the Nazis, 1078 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 2: some people in these circles say, obviously the Nazis themselves 1079 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 2: are bad, but we're using this as like a a 1080 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 2: medic signifier Yeah, for like nationalism and for all of 1081 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 2: these things. Now there is a fair number of people 1082 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 2: who just will straight up defend the Nazis, absolutely, but 1083 00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 2: I think it's it's it goes beyond, like like this 1084 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 2: isn't German national socialism, Like it goes, it goes, it 1085 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 2: goes beyond to like they're using Nazism as a meme 1086 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,360 Speaker 2: for their political project, and memes get used a lot 1087 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 2: in these types of safe spaces where people can joke around. 1088 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,479 Speaker 2: So you see that very clearly here, But you also 1089 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 2: see it on like the DHS Twitter account you use, 1090 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 2: you see the same kind of like post ironic stuff 1091 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 2: like a few weeks ago they were fucking moon Man posting. 1092 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 2: You can google that one if you want to. You 1093 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 2: don't have time to explain, but that's a very old 1094 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 2: like internet nazi dog whistle. And you know, we've I've 1095 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 2: talked a decent bit about my feelings on like focusing 1096 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 2: a lot on like the DHS Twitter dog whistles. But yeah, 1097 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 2: it is it is in invoking of this stuff for 1098 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 2: this like mimetic like archetypal context that they surround themselves in. 1099 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you know, doing the actual thing, which 1100 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 3: is going out and rounding up a whole bunch of 1101 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 3: doing these ice rights now white people and like the ice. 1102 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 2: Recruiting ads are like the clearest exac sample of using 1103 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,400 Speaker 2: this type of memetic imagery for their actual political project 1104 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 2: and then to act the thing physically. And it's very 1105 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 2: clear there because there's very little disconnected in immediate transference. Yeah, 1106 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 2: it's a very straight line. Yeah, James, want to close 1107 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 2: us up on the great state of Alaska. 1108 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm talking about something not so great in Alaska. 1109 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 2: But we normally do a fundraiser at the end. 1110 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,200 Speaker 4: So I wanted to put this here for those of 1111 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 4: you who are not aware, because this has really got 1112 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 4: enough coverage, in my opinion, A massive storm, in fact, 1113 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 4: the remnants of a typhoon slammed into the west coast 1114 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 4: of Alaska, leaving more than a thousand people without shelter 1115 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 4: along the Yukon Coskoquim River. These are Alaska Native villages, 1116 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 4: and their inhabitants are now climate refugees at the very 1117 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 4: start of winter, right in the coldest place in the 1118 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:54,240 Speaker 4: United States. These villages are very remote. I spent some 1119 01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 4: time earlier this year in Alaska Native village not here 1120 01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 4: in the interior, just in the in territories. But these 1121 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 4: guys are really only accessible by small planes or by boats, 1122 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 4: which will make their recovery even harder. 1123 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 2: Right. They're people who have lived by the. 1124 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 4: Ocean or by the river for as long as people 1125 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 4: have lived in the Americas, tens of thousands of years. Right. 1126 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 4: A few months ago, the Trump EPA canceled a twenty 1127 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 4: million dollar ground for flood protection which would have covered Kipnook, 1128 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 4: one of these villages. Kipnook now and functioning doesn't exist. 1129 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 4: Houses were torn off their foundations. 1130 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 6: Right. 1131 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 4: There are multiple videos of people's whole houses floating away. 1132 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,880 Speaker 4: It's not just an instance of neglect or even a 1133 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 4: single failure here, it's an example of decades of ignoring 1134 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 4: the voices of indigenous people, especially Alaska Natives, when they 1135 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 4: tell us that the climate crisis is real and that 1136 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:51,680 Speaker 4: it's already here. 1137 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 2: Right. When the media looks at. 1138 01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 4: Climate change, they tend to want to look at data 1139 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 4: they can measure in terms of numbers according to the 1140 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 4: model of Western science. But I would argue that the 1141 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 4: experience of Indigenous people who have lived on the land 1142 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,680 Speaker 4: for as long as human beings have lived anywhere on 1143 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 4: this continent and have watched the changes and seen this 1144 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 4: disaster unfold. Should be a warning to all of us 1145 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 4: that the climate crisis is already here. I reached out 1146 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 4: to some Alaska Native friends to ask where to donate, 1147 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 4: and they shared a page which will be in the 1148 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 4: show notes that the shows if you're able to help, 1149 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 4: I think that's very important thing to do. Recovery for 1150 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 4: these people with this federal government, with being as remote 1151 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:40,080 Speaker 4: as they are, will be horrifically difficult right now. Many 1152 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 4: of them are living in Anchorage right Like I said, 1153 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 4: they're going into the winter and then they don't have 1154 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 4: a place to live. It's an unmitigated disaster. So if 1155 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 4: you're able to help, I think it would be very 1156 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,040 Speaker 4: much appreciated.
