That's much worse. You made it way worse. 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.440 How many of those videos have you not watched? 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.720 Get I think we're all pretty behind on the required trainings. 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.680 Labor conditions are intolerable. 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.600 Robert Evans, James Stout, and Mio Wong. This episode, we 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.520 are covering the week of October fifteenth to October twenty second, 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.120 and a little bit of the week before because we 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.640 were off in honor of the government shutdown. We ourselves 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.119 took a week off because the CIA stopped paying us. 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.920 That's right, that's right. I've always considered us a branch 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.080 of the US government. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.080 You know, yeah, you and half of the anime people 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.040 on Twitter robots. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.480 We're back. I don't know, it feels a little bit 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.240 weird to be doing this White House Weekly episode knowing 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.080 that there's actually less White House than usual there is. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.880 Trump has begun demolishing the East wing of the White 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.520 House to build a privately fund a two hundred and 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.840 fifty million dollar ballroom, and I think we should all 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.760 have a moment of silence for the East Wing. 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:38.160 Oh. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.040 I was going to say a moment of celebration because 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.679 now James's people can finally shake hands with the United 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.480 States government and destroying large portions of the White House. 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:49.920 Yeah. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.600 I saw it was a Volvo excavator today, so we 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.520 also got the Swedes on board. I guess sure couldn't 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.600 even find an American excavator. Sad we don't make things 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:00.640 in this anymore. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.280 Yeah, that's because we're still waiting for the tariffs to 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.840 get fully fully enacted. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:05.760 Yeah. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.000 Yeah, once we get that Swedish tariff on. We are 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.560 almost four weeks now into the government shutdown and there's 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.840 not really a clear end in sight, and Snap Benefits 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.080 food stamps are set to run out in a little 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.960 over a week on November first, Mia, did you want 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:24.800 to say something on this. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.160 Yeah, So we've been seeing sort of tech start to 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.120 go out to people who are on food assistants in 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.239 various states. There's one circulating from Minnesota that is saying 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.520 that the food part of SNAP Benefits are going to 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.200 shut down in a few days on November first, when 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.280 the funding shuts down. This is a critical lifeline for 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.760 food for an extremely large number of people. And this 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.560 is also coming in a period where food banks are 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:58.160 already being stressed by just the other cuts to SNAP 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:04.120 and other food assistants programs that have already taken place. So, yeah, 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.080 we're coming to a very very critical moment in terms 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.280 of wide scale food insecurity in this country for a 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.720 whole bunch of the most vulnerable people in the country. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.760 And yeah, this is a good moment for if you 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:27.799 have actual access to food, which is a very very 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.880 bleak thing to be saying, but you know, something is 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.760 going to have to try to pick up the slack 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.160 or a bunch of people aren't going to eat right, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.520 and that's probably going to have to be us, because 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.240 it's first fuck not going to be the government. 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.880 Yeah, well, and yeah, it's just the people's need to 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.120 eat is inelastic. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.920 Just to put some numbers on it, like SNAP in 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.160 twenty four was forty one point seven million people, which 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.080 is about twelve percent of the US population. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.840 Yeah, this is a massive cliff. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.720 I mean, it's particularly bad in certain states. For example, Oregon, 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.120 you know where I live, is set to lose about 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.800 three quarters of a million people's SNAP benefits. There are 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.920 like four million people in the state. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.880 Yep, yep. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.400 And it's also like those people are also disproportionately non 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:22.599 white and disapportionate clearly and very disapportionately trans Yeah. Yeah. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:26.560 And this is something that if straight up the shutdown 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.240 continues and we don't see not benefits payout, this could 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.560 also be a major source of instability because you know, 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:38.559 the thing that happens very quickly when suddenly forty million 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.080 people don't have food is bread riots. What is going 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.920 to happen with that is deeply unclear, but yeah, we're 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.760 heading into an extremely bleak time. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.880 If you're looking at predictors of violent instability in countries, yeah, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.400 mass starvation is about top of the list. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:55.479 Yeah yeah, yep. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.560 Particularly bread riots usually are in sort of modern era, 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.400 happens with two or three hundred percent increases in food prices, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.640 usually as a result of sort of im mass structural adjustments. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.560 But if there was going to be another one, this 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:09.080 would be it. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:10.000 Yeah. 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:15.119 Yeah, So it's worth sort of being prepared on both 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.919 ends in terms of feeding people and also yeah, with 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.320 whatever was going to happen with this cuts out. 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:26.080 Yeah. Meanwhile, during during all of this, during the shutdown 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:31.200 and during snaps taking clock, Trump wants his Justice Department 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.880 to pay himself two hundred and thirty million dollars in 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:39.800 compensation for damages coming from past investigations into him. 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:40.679 Seems fair. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.560 Trump claims that he will give this money to quote 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:48.240 unquote charity. Seems real clear what that means, what charity 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.080 that will be, how that will really qualify as a 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.240 charitable donation. But he is currently seeking two hundred and 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.240 thirty million dollars of government money to be paid back 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.680 to himself. In the end, it will be him making 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.920 the final call on this, which he says he feels 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.000 strange about. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:05.040 Okay, well, it's good. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.120 You know, he's an honest man, you know, it's great. 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.279 Yeah, yeah, we we just fully entered the looting. The 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.279 storehouse is part of the regime. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.320 Yeah, they're taking a very British approach. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.200 Looting is is putting this too mildly? 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:21.840 Yeah, And if you. 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.800 See the article about the plans to let AI companies 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.359 apply to get old weapons grade plutonium to fuel the 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.520 nuclear reactors. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.760 That seems fine. That's what I trust Sam Altman weapons 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.520 grade plutonium. Yeah, he's gonna use that safely. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:43.839 Yeah, hopefully the air bubble collapses before they get. 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.239 You know what a great attitude to approach having weapons 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.840 grade plutonium is move fast and break rain. 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.040 Oh god, this is great. It's this week. We're announcing 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.560 the start of Kood's Force AI. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:59.520 There we go, bring it on, God. 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.280 Break breaking news. US sanction has been placed against two 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:08.200 of Russia's largest oil companies in an effort to pressure 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.440 the Ukraine Russia piece deal, which Putin just backed out 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.720 of negotiations from as there was plans for him and 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.960 Trump to meet. So that just happened. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:23.560 Sexy not sexy. So I think one of the first 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.280 things we want to cover right now, just because this 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.960 is maybe the number one thing I'm seeing people talk 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.040 about on social media right now, is there have been 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.920 articles written about ICE's new weapons budget. Famously their budget 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.080 is increased by seeing like seven hundred percent. A huge 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.160 amount of that's being spent on bonuses in order to 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.200 get people to join, cash payments and whatnot, as well 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.800 as retention bonuses, but a lot more of it's being 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.160 spent on weapons. And right now, the number one thing 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.400 I'm seeing people freak out about is the supposed idea 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.600 from these documents that ICE is purchasing guided missiles and 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.840 chemical weapons. I have heard people say this is ICE, 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.560 which is obviously Trump's SS, you know, making their own 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.120 vafen SS, which were the armed units of the SS. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.960 I'm seeing a lot of shit like this spread, and 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.880 as James is going to tell you, none of that's true. Yeah, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.040 I mean, the fact that ICE has a massive increase 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.120 in budget and is buying a shit little weapons is true. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.080 But they're not guided missiles. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.240 I doesn't matter what heat guided missiles. Yeah, we're not 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.840 getting a deathhead ICE ICE unit. Come on at the 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.200 next Canal Street ICE rate, they're going to be launching 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.000 heat seeking missiles into Chinatown. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.120 I'm not saying this isn't a problem, but it's not 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.520 what people are saying it is. Yeah, sorry, James, all right. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.360 The source of its claim is a substack page called 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:44.040 popular Information run by a guy called Juddlygum, and he 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.360 has claimed in this piece, I'm just going to quote 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.040 the ICE post purchase quote chemical weapons, and quote guided 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.600 missile warheads and explosive components. I guess the main thrust 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.240 of the piece was looking at the fact that ICE 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:00.319 spent nine million dollars on geistly ar pattern rifles Patrol 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.440 spent more than twice that he appears to have missed 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.760 that in his reporting. This reporting is extremely dishonest. To 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.120 put it mildly, it's either deliberately misleading or massively incompetent. 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:16.520 The piece in question doesn't link to the individual contracts, which, 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.360 like on the face of its bad form, right, if 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.160 you're going to be talking about contracts, your contracts are 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.760 in the public domain, just linked to them. The piece 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.480 doesn't do that. I went on USA spending dot gov 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.160 and a filtered by contracts that have been awarded by ICE. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.040 I gave date range. 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.559 The date range are pertained to the things being discussed 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.880 in the article, and then I filtered by the product 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.160 or service code for chemical weapons and guided missile warheads. Right, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.320 two different products or service codes. Product or service codes 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.760 are like these, these four digit codes that exist in 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.640 federal procurement right to put things into buckets basically, and 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.559 I found the contracts. The contract very clearly states the 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.720 guided missile quote unquote contract. The contract with the guided 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.800 missis cell product or service code very clearly states it 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.760 is for multiple distraction devices. Yeah, it's a contract with 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.920 a company called Quantico Tactical. I did call them yesterday, 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:14.280 something that again any competent reporter should do before publishing 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.720 a piece that does not appear to have been done 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.840 by the substat guy. They gave me an email. I 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.199 sent it email more than twenty four hours ago, requesting 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.920 comment or clarification. I didn't receive a response at the 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.760 time of us going to press. If I hit back 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.440 from them before we release this, I will let you 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.520 all know the chemical weapons. It was OC spray, it 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.240 WASAB spray, right, And a distraction device. 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.760 By the way, folks, this is something like like a 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.199 sonic grenade, which sounds crazy, but it's a grenade that 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:45.680 makes a loud noise to distract. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:46.480 To bang. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.120 A flash bang is also a distraction device when you 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.000 used the way that they're use in riots. You know, 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.800 it's a little bit of a different thing when you're 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.080 using one to like breach bang and clear a door 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.600 or something. But like when you're throwing a flash bang 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.480 at a riot, it's a distraction device because the is 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.439 you've got a bunch of people moving towards an area 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.000 you want to stop them from You distract them by an. 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.480 Explosion, you know. Yeah, and it's distracting. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.719 Yeah, it's also and this is you know, one of 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.720 the one of the frustrating elements about this is that 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.040 Ice has been using a whole bunch of these to 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.160 blow down people's doors. It's really horrible. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.720 There are problems. It's problems that they're buying all. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.960 This and no one is talking about it because everyone's 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:22.640 focused on this. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.800 When James put up their initial research just on a 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.600 Blue Sky and Twitter, I shared it and people were like, 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.440 it's still a problem they've got that they're getting all 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.559 buying all these new weapons. Do you not care about? Yes? 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.600 I care about that. You're not talking about that, Yeah, 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.280 we care about They're talking about a fantasy like and like. 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.920 It is bad that Ice has flash bangs and pepper spray, right, 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.319 I have personally broadcasts how they exists like you can 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.200 go back only a few months and here ice flash 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.720 bangs on this podcast, like recorded by me in person. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.080 We know they fucking have them because they were throwing 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:57.520 them at me. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.079 Yeah, I've lost count of how many have hit me directly. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:01.400 Yeah. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.319 Yeah, we've got to at least seventy five percent fucking federal 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.840 government flashbang impact, you know. Like I want to take 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.320 second guess to talk about incentives here because this really 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.680 pisses me off. Yeah, And I think that the way 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.360 we build trust in the media is through openness, and 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.640 I think that we do that better than most and 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.520 I'm going to try and do that here, just so 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.400 you know, none of us make any extra money if 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.960 more people download this podcast, at least not directly. Right, 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.480 we do not have a direct incentive to make fantastical 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.320 claims that will lead to people downloading our podcast and 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.160 being afraid that is not true for people who have 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.200 these substick outlets, right Like, Like. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.679 I mean, I'll let me clarify, we do have a 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.360 direct financial interest in there being traffic, right, because that 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.800 is that's how we make our money, right like, and 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.280 that's how we justify getting raisers and stuff. So, like 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.840 everyone in media if more people listen to our stuff, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.160 like we do have a financial interest in that over time, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.040 not checking week to week to see if we're getting 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.400 if what we're doing is bringing us in more direct money, right, Like, 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.560 that's just not the way our thing works. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.600 Yeah, and when people are on their own, they're doing 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.400 these subs a catet there, there is a very real 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.560 incentive to do that, right. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.880 We also have a team here, We fact check each other. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.760 We do our best. We fuck up sometimes, yeah, yeah, 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.760 we fuck up sometimes, so we're honest about it when 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.920 we do right, we acknowledge it. Yeah, we acknowledge when 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:26.960 James makes mistakes. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.000 Thank you, guys, you're the least You're the least mistake 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:36.640 person here's extremely careful about that ship. Well, I've stood 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.680 on my fucking pedestal enough about this. But yeah, it's 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.080 bad right that things that I saw buying that Ice 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:46.720 is really buying are semi automatic rs, more clocks, a 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.320 lot of soft body armor, red dot sites quote unquote 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.520 crowd control munitions. Right, sort of spending you see from 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.280 a special forces unit that are very not special like 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.920 like police agency, right, Like like that's just spending, Like 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.720 they have an open checkbook. 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.840 Like Ice is continuing to buy the same weapons with 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:10.000 which they have been hurting people the entirety almost of 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.600 the twenty first century, and they're hurting more people now 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.120 and will be hurting even more people in the future 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.439 because they will have even more money. And that's bad. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.480 And you don't, like, what would they even do with 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:22.400 a guided missiles? 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.520 It doesn't make sense on the face for it's sixty 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.120 one grand. Yeah, the fuck do you think you're getting 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.680 for sixty one grand from a company in quantic? You 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:36.040 tried buying guided missiles in this economy? People, It's just ludicrous, man, 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.640 What the fuck they think they're going like like Tomahawk, 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.800 I know, like a strawberry picking facility, Like it's ludicrous, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.760 it's fucking ridiculous, a chemical weapon. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.440 I mean, you can talk about Substack and they're being 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.600 fucked up things about the company. But like, honestly, I 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.000 think that it's overstated. But I think people focus on 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.800 that extent of like, well, yeah, which of them aren't 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.200 What where is the non Nazi social media company that 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.280 has any kind of reach? 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:03.680 You know? 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.640 But that's really not even the point I care to make. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.000 What I will say, the problem here is not even 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.520 just that like when people are working for an audience 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.360 like that, we're week to week, however, many people are 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.960 donating and whatnot kind of can incentivize you to follow 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.440 certain rabbit holes and push certain things. I think one 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.000 of the bigger problems is that what you have is 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:32.680 a generation very of the most talented and successful journalists 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.840 in terms of their skill of like writing and their 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.400 ability to build an audience that follows them. Those people 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.200 have all moved to a platform where they by default 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:47.080 don't have an editor, and like every journalist worth they're solved. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.840 I've had my fights and frustrations with editors at a 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:54.880 variety of publications, and sometimes they're knowing, and sometimes editors suck, 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.600 and sometimes publications a big part of what they're doing 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.880 is just trying to water down your shit. But that's 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.400 not the only thing editors do. A major thing editors 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.440 do is point out, Hey, I get that you're really 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.640 into this, and I get that you find this compelling, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.280 but as an objective observer, I'm seeing this hole in 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.720 this hole in this hole, and you need to, for example, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.520 haul these people and make sure that this because it 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.520 doesn't look like this is actually a guided missile it 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.400 looks like somebody just fucked up putting in a code. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.880 We need to check on this so we can state 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.200 it to a point of certainty. That's what an editor 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.560 should be doing, right, Yeah. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.520 Even if they're responsible journalist, Like I wouldn't have submitted 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.800 that piece to an editor without having checked that first. Like, sure, 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.600 it took me five minutes to cool them. I should 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.400 add that the PFCs in question for grenades and warheads 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.600 are one digit different, right again. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.120 Right, which is which is what happened here? 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.400 It certainly looks that way. 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:56.240 Yeah, yeah, and again this is why part of how 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.360 responsible journalism is supposed to work is that you never 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:04.000 have just one eye on a story, because every journalist 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.120 will inevitably miss things if you're doing that, right, That's 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.920 why you are supposed to The idea is to have 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.600 multiple eyes on a thing so that oh, hey it 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.639 looks like you skipped over this, or hey it just 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.919 occurred to me. I have this question that is not 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.840 being answered, and you make a couple of phone calls, 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.800 throw in another sentence, and then that's a thing that 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.119 we're answering, a thing we're accounting for. And if you 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.359 don't have that the work isn't as good. 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.720 Yeah. No, Look, I'm not saying there were not things to. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.359 Be afraid of that are No one's saying that yet. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.680 But I want people to be afraid of the right thing, 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.479 so like they're not gonna lob you people. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.800 I don't think we're really going to be safe until 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.960 there's an iron dome over every Home Depot. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.800 Garrettson. I've been saying that for years. But that's also 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:51.600 because I would like to start a limited missile war 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.560 against the Home Depot Corporation. But I've been taking Low's 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:56.399 money for years. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.960 Yeah, on behalf of flows. Yeah, I'm on teammates Hadways. 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:01.720 I'll see you on the battlefield, Robert. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.680 At least we don't have any Harbor Freight people. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.480 Actually actually a massive Harbor Freight guy James says, have 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.480 Harbor Fray like literally behind me. 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.800 I mean, then I think about Harbor Freight is buying 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.000 one thing and then returning it exactly eleven months after 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.359 buying it once you've broken it, and just having a 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:20.560 perpetual whatever. 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:21.560 Yeah. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.520 Yeah, everything that I bought from Harbor Freight has started smoking. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.399 Everything breaks that you buy from Harbor Freight. But the 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:28.800 return policy is amazing. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:29.480 Yeah. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.720 The question is will it break before or after you've 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.240 used it enough to justify buying something more expensive. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.120 And the answer is yes, James, can you do a 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:42.480 product and service code ad break kids based on your 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.760 investigation here and Adam, you can keep this in you 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.760 can you can show them how the sauce is made here. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.800 Yeah, it's just in terms of honesty here we go. Okay, right, 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:51.320 give me give me a second here. I got to 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:52.080 think of something good. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:53.960 You fucked it. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.240 I was just gonna do talking products and services and 0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:01.159 you ruined it. Garrison, if you are in the market 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.280 for a distraction ad vice, guided warhead or chemical weapon, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.800 let's hope that you get an advert for one of 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:24.359 those in this commercial break. That's right, people, welcome back 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.320 to the Iranian regime. I hope you got what you wanted. 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:33.359 Yes, this podcast is the only podcast entirely supported by 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.880 the Ayatola and yeah, praise him. 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.600 The CIA and the Iotola have finally unique. 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:47.160 I had the clasping hands menimo from Robert Evans. Legally speaking, 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.440 that is a joke. We are not funded by the 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.199 Iranian regime. We're all monarchs. 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:55.320 Think for yourself there, talk about let's talk about the 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:56.320 national card. 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:56.640 Yeah. 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:57.000 Sure. 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.800 On Monday, his past Monday, the Ninth circond Quarter of 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.320 Appeals have ruled in favor of the Trump administration, halting 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.680 a court order denying the federalization and deployment of the 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.919 Oregon National Guard. Had two to one ruling on a 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.960 three panel hearing with two trumpetpointed judges. They called Trump's 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.200 plan to deploy troops to the ice Building in Portland 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:24.840 a quote unquote measured response. Now there is a second 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.160 tro preventing out of state National Guard from deploying to Portland, 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.640 and this appears to still be in effect, but its 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.439 fate is unknown. The Justice Department has requested the original 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.560 judge suspend the order, though the Ninth Circuit itself is 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:43.679 considering whether a larger panel should rehear this entire case. Currently, 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.439 there is no immediate plans for Oregon National Guard to 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.240 be deployed, but they do now have the go ahead. 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:53.960 But this is still a developing situation. But that's an 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.560 important update there. Let's talk about the two fifty celebration 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:03.360 treel seeing Happy birthday no worthy to the Marines, Yes, yeah. 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.439 Oh god, yeah, Happy Birthday of the Marine Corps.

No, 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.159 it just is made out of giant crown and we 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.520 all remove our tote CoV tattoos. That's going to be 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:17.960 the Marine party. 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:23.360 Get get rid of those Scout snipers.

Was a 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:56.119 happy birthday, And I'm still not clear what hell Diver is. 0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:00.280 Hell divers is a satirical video game, et cetera. Is 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:04.359 a fascist military that fights for quote unquote democracy against 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:06.400 others so called fascists. 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.800 Sorry, managed democracy very important, that's true. 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:12.840 It's true, yes, managed demand. 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.880 I have heard of it from the news headlines such 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:20.600 as Charlie Kirk shot. But yeah, it's basically like playing 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:25.000 Starship Troopers music over the Marine Corps celebration party. That's 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.720 kind of the caliber we're operating in here. Yeah, thank 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:31.120 you for bringing that to my generational understanding. There you go. Yeah, 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:31.800 I appreciate it. 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:36.320 Talking to the Marine Corps two undred fiftieth birthday. On Saturday, 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:38.800 a one to fifty five shells one hundred and fifty 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:44.920 five minuimeter Howitzer shell prematurely detonated over the five Freeway 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:47.280 outside of Pendleton. 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:50.359 Right, not stuff, crazy shit. 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:55.080 Damaging a COPCA that was assigned to JD. Vance's security detail. 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.680 It was literally as soon as they started talking about 0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:00.000 how Trump wanted to shoot a missile into fucking Camp 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.680 Pendleton and like immediately, yeah, they fuck up and blow 0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:07.560 up a car attached to fucking the Vice president's security detail. 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:08.560 Amazing stuff. 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.959 They did a dress rehearsal on Friday in which they 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:14.800 managed not to detonate any shells over to five. Gavin 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.679 Newsom decided to shut the frive on Saturday. 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:17.440 Probaly good call. 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:21.280 Yeah, probably complaining about things shaking. 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:23.960 Just if you're like, if you're not familiar with the 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.080 layout there, I would say that in most places you go, 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.840 Camp Pendleton is a large area that's used by the 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:33.000 Marine Corps for training. It has artillery ranges within it. 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.439 The five is the big highway in California. It's the 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:38.720 highway that goes the whole length of the state. 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:40.919 Yeah, you would call it the I five if you 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:42.919 weren't from here, and then we would know that you 0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.480 weren't from here, So we call it the five. There's 0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:49.639 less than a mile of land to the west of 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:51.800 the five, right, so shooting go over to five like 0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:53.879 pretty much shooting from the beach or near the beach, 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:57.480 as opposed to the whole rest of Camp Pendleton right 0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.560 where they have artillery ranges. But they wanted to do 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:00.879 it over the five. I think they were doing some 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:05.240 kind of simulated landing drill. Not quite sure what the 0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:09.399 landing drill they were doing, but this get resulted in 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:13.840 the damage done to a HP car and really fucked 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:17.240 up traffic in probably the entirety of southern California. Yeah, 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:18.840 from most of last Saturday. 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:20.920 I do you just want to mention here that there 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:23.960 is historical precedent in the United States for US accidentally 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.400 killing the Secretary of State because a gun they were 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:28.920 firing on a pleasure cruise on a boat, on a 0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:33.240 Navy boat blew up. So wow in the eighteen forties, 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:37.280 but we did kill the Secretary of the Navy and 0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:38.720 the Secretary of State. 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:42.520 If any Secretary of War could pull this off, it 0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:46.000 would be pa I believe him. Here is a decent 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.640 chance he will throw one of those actes straight into JD. 0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.359 Vans's leg. Oh yeah, I forgot about his accident. 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:57.720 Yeah yeah, Vansifolmer Marine. Oh yeah that is wait, yeah 0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:01.440 yeah yeah, I totally forgot lance corporal in the Marine Corps. 0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:06.159 I believe he was a PAO public affairs. Yeah, I 0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:10.720 want to address DHS has claimed about deportation numbers. DHS 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:12.800 has been throwing out some really big numbers for deportation, 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:15.440 claiming over half a million removed and one point six 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:17.719 million quote unquote self deported. 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:19.479 These are inflated numbers. 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:23.600 These include things like people turned away airports and Coastguard 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:24.360 into dictions. 0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:27.520 Right that they are not removals of people from the 0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.480 interior of the United States who were residing here. They're 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.080 like if someone maybe if someone came with a visa 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:33.800 and was turned around the airport, they're including that as 0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:34.600 a deportation. 0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:35.320 Right. 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.480 DHS has stopped publishing a lot of the data that 0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:41.439 we previously got under this administration, so we don't have 0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.240 a lot of hard numbers, but at one point six 0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:46.399 million number. This comes from CIS right, the Center for 0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:49.159 Immigration Studies. We talked about them before this is a 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.600 Tanton funded quote unquote think tank, which the SPLC has 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:57.560 adjudicated as a hate group. The CIS Data DHS has 0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.720 been like sharing this since it came out. But it 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:02.640 also so it seems to be weighing very heavily into 0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:06.800 whatever algorithm Musk has put into Grok recently. If you 0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:11.240 look for mentions on x the Everything website of the 0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.320 one point six million number, nearly all of them are 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:18.320 Groq repeating it. God, I don't know if they straight 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:20.240 up just said like, yeah, the CIS is your source 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.320 for information when they were, you know, programming it to 0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:24.800 be less woke but slightly more woke than when it 0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.800 called itself Mecha Hitler, But it seems to be the 0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:31.560 CIS seems to be heavily weighed in the Grock algorithm 0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:33.320 these days, which I thought was interesting. 0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.480 Yeah, they did get that GROC contract approved a few 0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:37.000 months ago. 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.120 I think the DHS didn't get the number from GROK. 0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:42.679 I think they got it from CIS, but nonetheless like 0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.920 the reason that that number is still in the side guy. 0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:48.160 So I think it's partially because Grok keeps repeating it. Well, 0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:50.760 you know it is. It is gro October as I've 0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:55.480 been saying, Garrison, we have fucking spoken about this. It's 0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:57.240 not Groctober angry. 0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:00.240 The other thing I do want to mention on a 0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:04.040 I guess not deportations, but the Department of State has 0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:08.000 announced a series of people who have had their visas 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:13.720 revoked for posts surrounding the death of Charlie Kirk. The 0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:17.840 State Department Twitter account posted a whole thread on x 0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:22.240 the Everything app listing various sentences and sentiments that resulted 0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.359 in visas being revoked. Quote Charlie Kirk was a son 0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.560 of a bitch and he died by his own rules. 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:33.160 Visa revoked. When fascists die, Democrats don't complain, VISO revoked. 0:27:33.400 --> 0:27:37.840 It from a German national Resilient National said that quote 0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:40.560 Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where 0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.560 they marched in homage to him, and that Kirk died 0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:47.720 too late. Visa revoked. There's like four other of these 0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:50.639 people making statements of that nature. 0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.119 Yeah, yeah, I think people get the idea. 0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:57.080 Yeah. Following Kirkstath Rubio to announce he would be looking 0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:01.879 for visa holders who made statements following Kirk's death, and 0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:05.680 he has followed through on that promise in some other 0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:09.840 Charlie Kirk news. A few weeks ago, Turning Point USA 0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:13.000 officially announced that they would be producing an alternative halftime 0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:16.600 show after it was announced that the Puerto Rican artist 0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:19.600 Bad Bunny would be performing at the twenty twenty six 0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:23.200 Super Bowl. The TPUSA show will be called a Quote 0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:29.160 All American Halftime Show, celebrating faith, family, and freedom. The 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:32.959 website has a submission form where it asks which genres 0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:37.000 should be featured during the show. The options include quote 0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:44.800 anything in English, American classic rock, country, hip hop, pop, 0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:46.120 and worship. 0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:48.560 I love anything in English as a genre. 0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:51.840 Yeah. When I get to Spotify, that's what I put in. 0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:56.160 The crowd's gonna riot when someone does Hotel California. 0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:59.240 We can really push anything at English. Frankly, we could 0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:00.800 go to some pretty he places. 0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:03.800 Yeah, yeah, I didn't think they've already considered the breadth 0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:04.479 of that genre. 0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:05.000 You know. 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.520 I will say. How they could get me back on 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.720 board is in if in addition to a separate halftime show, 0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:14.480 they had a separate super Bowl in which Ben Shapiro 0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:17.680 faces off alone against the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:20.480 Oh that would be so fun. 0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:23.680 Yeah, I would let Ben Shapiro bring some friends. 0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:28.600 No, No, I want to see Jalen Hurts physically pick 0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:31.280 up Ben Shapiro and see how far he can pass him, 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:32.880 because I'm pretty, I'm. 0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:35.080 Pretty sud at least at least sixty year. 0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:40.560 That guy Benches. That guy could like bench a small 0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:46.080 motor vehicle like benches Shapiro. Yeah. 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:50.320 More details and performers will be announced later, including how 0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:52.560 this will be broadcast, will be streamed online? Are they 0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:55.120 don't trying to make a TV deal with someone like, 0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:59.240 you know, Fox? You know, unclear how this will be broadcast, 0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:01.400 but it is something they're going to go through. On 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:03.760 last thing we should probably talk about before the break 0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.360 or I don't know, maybe maybe we could combine this 0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:09.080 with the section you wanted to talk about Robert on 0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:13.920 the Infiltrations. But right after our Executive Disorder episode from 0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.960 two weeks ago, literally like like hours after, on October eighth, 0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:20.960 right wing influencers gathered at the White House to discuss 0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:26.400 with Trump and cabinet members their theories and carrowing stories 0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:32.520 of Antifa at this big Antifa roundtable. Yeah, I'm gonna 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:36.240 play a short clip like a few seconds from Jack 0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.800 Pasoba get in there noted far. 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:41.840 Right extremist and poster Jack. 0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:47.320 Pasobic certainly noted poster it's a great guy. Yeah, Antifa 0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:47.720 is real. 0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:52.440 Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost one 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:55.080 hundred years, in some instances, going back to the Weimar 0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:56.080 Republic in Germany. 0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.480 Huh, I wonder, I wonder why it went back to 0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.920 the Wymar republican German? What what? What else was happening 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.120 at that time in Germany. It's very interesting you say that, Jack, 0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:10.080 Very interesting, Jack. What other opinions do you have on 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:11.840 Fimar Republic? 0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:12.320 Jack? 0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:19.120 Yeah, So this is worrisome, right, the fact that these 0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:23.040 idiots are getting to speak this close to power about 0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.320 their theory, which is basically that everyone they don't like 0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:27.600 or who has said anything they don't like as part 0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:30.760 of a terrorist organization and should be put in prisoner executed. 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:32.760 Like that's the gist of what all of the people 0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:33.960 at that roundtable believe. 0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:36.440 A whole bunch of like, you know, post millennial people, 0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:38.920 and you know that that that whole that whole right, 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:45.040 like a genre of like you know, right wing antifa journalists, journalistic. 0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:49.080 Yes, everyone I don't like equals terrorists. Yes, So that's 0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:52.040 really worrisome, and I just I kind of wanted to 0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:55.800 make a note here to people that as a result 0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:58.560 of stuff like this, in case you somehow have not 0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:01.640 been aware of this, we're going to be seeing a 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:05.520 massive ramp up in not just attempts at prosecution, but 0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:10.800 at attempts to infiltrate and get gotcha footage and audio 0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:15.200 of different left wing and anarchist groups that are going 0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:19.880 to be used as pretexts for further crackdowns. I would 0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:21.800 say it's just a time to be aware of that 0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:25.320 and be aware of the fact that anytime you are 0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:28.400 speaking or at a public event where other people are speaking, 0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:33.080 you should assume that that's being recorded and that people 0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:35.720 will be pulling out the worst parts they can from 0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:38.840 it and trying to use that to destroy people's lives. 0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:40.960 And I bring that up because there's been a couple 0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:45.440 that just really broke today, some potentially pretty high profile 0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:48.520 examples of this. One of them is that at a 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:52.280 panel for Firestorm Books, they had a speaker, guy named 0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:56.080 Eric King, who was convicted of a firebombing. He's a 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:59.720 left wing activist. He spent almost ten years in prison, 0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.480 at a horrific time in prison. I mean just abused 0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:04.720 by the system and some of the worst playways possible 0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:08.239 and is finally out. And Eric did a talk at 0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:13.160 Firestorm Books and he made basically his statement that activists 0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:15.880 need to hurt them where it counts, saying we can 0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:17.400 force them to shut the fuck up when it hurts 0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:19.320 their wallilet enough, or you can find other ways to 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:23.440 hurt them. Now that's not saying anything inherently illegal. Again, 0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:25.200 he starts it by saying we can force them to 0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.240 shut up when it hurts their wallet enough. That's talking 0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:30.160 about like boycotts and stuff. But the phrase other ways 0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:32.280 to hurt them is vague enough. That's pretty easy for 0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:35.640 these guys to cut stuff out. And I'm looking at 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:39.520 a post by quote end quote investigated analysts for the 0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.840 Manhattan STU Smith. He's framing this as known ANTIFA firebomber 0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:49.480 calls for escalation, and again that's not necessarily inaccurate look 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.160 at what Eric was saying. But it's easy to pull 0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:55.080 stuff out like this from something like what appears to 0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:58.560 have been a fairly open zoom call that is not 0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.760 hard for someone to get in to and record and 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:04.400 pull something out of to try and make the case 0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.320 that someone like Eric should be back in prison, or 0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:11.520 that Firestorm Books is a party, you know, providing material 0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:15.759 support to an extremist organization. And what I'm not trying 0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:17.600 to do is say like and so people should not 0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:19.960 talk and gather in public because they're going to be 0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:22.800 doing this. But you need to be aware that anything 0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:25.480 said it's something like this that's in any way open, 0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:27.600 and even if you try to make it kind of 0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:30.640 more closed than this, they will try to get people in. 0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:33.719 This is something that is increasingly going to happen, and 0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:36.840 so people just need to be You can't you can't 0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:40.160 just kind of hope that they're not paying attention. You 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:43.560 have to be aware of the fact that they're out 0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.439 there and they're going to be trying to infiltrate any 0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:49.320 sort of thing like this they can to get pretexts 0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:53.879 for further crackdowns. And another recent example of this Frontlines 0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:58.279 tp USA, which is Turning Point ussays, I mean, it's 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:02.000 their version of the actual front line journalism show. But 0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:06.960 they did an investigation where they went undercover to the 0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:11.759 Oakland in Seattle anarchist book fairs, right, and again, there's 0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:14.880 nothing wrong with doing those book fairs, I'm sure what 0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:18.280 they're doing here is pulling whatever quotes they could grab 0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.759 from people that sound bad out of context and using 0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:23.239 them to try to make the case that again, these 0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:25.759 are violent extremist events that need to be cracked down on. 0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:30.880 And I will reiterate I'm not saying don't do book fares. 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:32.600 I'm not saying don't show up at events like this. 0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:35.240 I'm saying if you show up, be aware that stuff 0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:36.960 like this is going to be happening, that they're going 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.040 to be people recording, that they're going to be people 0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:43.960 trying to find what they can to destroy people who 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.560 are at these events, and that that's something that needs 0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:48.799 to be in your threat model, right in terms of 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:51.799 how you dress when you go there, how visible you are, 0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:54.920 and what you're willing to say around people, right, among 0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:58.000 other things. I guess what I'm saying is there's some 0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:01.160 jokes you shouldn't be making in public at events like 0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:03.239 this unless you want there to be a high risk 0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:05.680 of it coming back to bite you in the ass. 0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:06.560 Yeah. 0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:08.759 I think that's that's perfectly reasonable. 0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:09.840 Yep. 0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:17.880 During the ANTIFA roundtable panel, this guy named Seamus Brunners. Seamus, 0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:20.799 It says, seamss guys Jesus. It says seems that that 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:24.520 is does We're gonna have to stop you right that 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:27.720 that's that's a shame, but it says Seamus the director 0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:32.680 of research at the Government Accountability Institute, discussed his theory 0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:38.239 of how a network of NGOs are funding Antifa. This 0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.480 is a this is a longer clip, but I think 0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:45.040 it's important to look at how they are approaching this, 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.600 like how they are approaching this Antifa as an organization. 0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:52.240 This is not just a story about violence and chaos, 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:55.640 as you alluded to, mister President. This is a money story. 0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:59.360 And at the Government Accountability Institute, my colleague and I, 0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:03.040 Peter schoy I and our team we follow the money 0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:04.840 and we followed it to the top of what we 0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:10.800 call the protest industrial complex riot Inc. And we found 0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:14.000 a network of NGOs. It's not just the Soros network, 0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:17.760 the Open Society network, it's other funding networks, the Arabella 0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:21.799 funding network, the Tides funding network, Neville Roy Singham and 0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:26.120 his network, Foreign Cash, and it's also big left wing 0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:28.240 funder Some of them are not citizens of this country, 0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:33.000 mister Hans jorg Vis of Switzerland. They're pouring money into 0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:35.399 this entire ecosystem. And so I want to share three 0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:37.920 money facts with you about what we call Riot Inc. 0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:42.400 Number One, like any corporation, Riot Inc. Has many divisions. 0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:45.280 It doesn't just have the Antifa boots on the ground division. 0:37:45.320 --> 0:37:48.080 It has pr divisions, it has marketing divisions, It has 0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:51.560 a very well funded legal division to get these boots 0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:54.240 on the ground back on the streets as quickly as possible. 0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:58.160 But it does have those investors that I mentioned. Number two, 0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:02.799 we have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the 0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:07.319 decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have 0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:12.000 received more than one hundred million dollars from the riot 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:14.359 Ink investors. These would be the lawyer groups, These would 0:38:14.400 --> 0:38:18.880 be the groups that advocate for calling good, honest Americans fascists, 0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:21.920 et cetera. And then three, I think the most shocking 0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:24.080 thing is that we have found that more than one 0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:29.280 hundred million dollars in US taxpayer funding has flowed into 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:32.480 these funding networks, including at least four million dollars to 0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:37.279 these very groups themselves, not just Antifa types. But there 0:38:37.320 --> 0:38:41.160 was an event in Atlanta called stopcop City. Over sixty 0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:46.280 rioters were charged with domestic terrorism. These groups received money 0:38:46.320 --> 0:38:49.319 for that from both the billionaire class as well as 0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:50.200 taxpayer money. 0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.000 Unclear what he's talking about in terms of taxpayer money 0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:58.080 going to the sixty RICO defendants in Atlanta, But the 0:38:58.120 --> 0:39:01.480 structure's talking about, how is riot Inc Includes not just 0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:04.360 like Antifa as in you know, people wearing black hoodies 0:39:04.360 --> 0:39:06.799 on the streets at a protest, but like, you know, 0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:12.160 legal support organizations, even like like research organizations that you 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:15.560 know advocate calling you know, good honest American's fascists, right 0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:17.920 this this could refer to groups like Media Matters or 0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:22.719 like Southern Poverty Law Center who do research into extremist organizations. 0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:25.160 They could be framing the people like that as a 0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:28.439 part of this this whole ecosystem, and that's that's where 0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.239 they could be looking at for sources of money and 0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:34.520 funding and like tracking where that money goes is in 0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:38.759 groups like that, not obviously you know, your average black 0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:43.359 claud Antifa protesters, not it's not receiving payment for their 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:47.120 presence at these at these events. But this guy went 0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:50.640 on to claim that quote unquote, Riot Inc. Funding network 0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:56.000 also supports decentralized crowdfunding platforms which fund organizations like the 0:39:56.080 --> 0:40:00.520 ELM for John Brown gun club and these Socialist Rifles Association. 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:04.480 After he went on this like three minute long speech, 0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:08.279 Trump asked him and other attendees that if they knew 0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:13.160 anything about like ANTIFA members, funders, or the organizational structure, 0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:17.000 to hand over that information to Pam Bondie or Cash 0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:21.239 Patel and Trump reiterated this multiple times during the roundtable, 0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:24.720 asking these you know, policy guys or quote unquote independent 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:28.919 journalists to hand over their information to the authorities. Here's 0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:31.160 one version of him making this request. 0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:34.000 Do you know the name of any of the funders? 0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:36.160 Do you know the names? Because if you do, I'd 0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:38.120 like you to give them to Cash or Pam. 0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:41.400 Absolutely well, Christy, yeah, we'll do as soon as you can. 0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.840 That's all of you, because you probably know the names. 0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:47.160 After a certain period of time, you tend to find out. 0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:49.920 But these are people that do not have good intention 0:40:50.040 --> 0:40:55.319 for the country, and that's uh creasiness probably, So if 0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:58.080 you could, if you very important, if you could do that, 0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:01.200 it would be a great Nobody would know better than you. 0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:02.040 You'll figure it out. 0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:05.440 Share man cool. 0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:10.359 During this roundtable, Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, reiterated how 0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:14.359 Antifa should be treated like an organized criminal gang and 0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:17.120 that law enforcement are going to quote unquote take the 0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:21.960 same approach as it does handling foreign drug cartels. It's 0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:24.799 a side note the United States has maybe that's what 0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:29.600 those guided missions repeatedly lodged missiles at what it claims 0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:33.920 are boats associated with foreign drug cartels. 0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:36.400 I'll just say we have an episode next week about 0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:39.759 the ongoing drone campaign in the Caribbean. 0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:46.440 Speaking of funders, here's some of ours for the central 0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:00.359 all Right, we are back. 0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:04.800 Great so nice to hear from the products and services 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:05.879 that support this show brought. 0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:12.080 Do you buy safari Land? You're one stop God, I 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:14.440 wish we had no. I don't actually Starlight is some 0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.160 post ironic meaning that I should I should occur tales 0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:18.399 Farlight is in fact back. 0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:22.399 I will admit they do make very nice, very nice 0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:25.600 bulletproof plate. I will say, talking of things that are 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:28.600 very nice, this is a very nice song that I 0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:36.240 like to listen to in my free time. Rock jazz 0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:45.600 rocky jazz bot Sorry, rocky jazz, rocky. 0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:46.040 Jazz bo. 0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:50.480 It's tariff talk. We're back baby, yeah yeah. 0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:56.520 So literally within twelve hours I think of the of 0:42:56.560 --> 0:43:00.320 the release at night of our last episode of this show, 0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:06.920 we got the resumption of the trade war, so specifically, 0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:09.920 Trump has announced effectively the full scale resumption of the 0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:14.200 trade will which China. This started kind of out of 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:18.160 nowhere with Trump administration doing something that I think they 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:21.839 didn't think was very provocative, because I don't quite think 0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:25.080 they understood the magnitude of what they were doing. This 0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:29.800 basically started with a Trump administration massively increasing export restrictions 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:33.400 to China by changing the rules of what companies are 0:43:33.400 --> 0:43:35.480 covered by what's called the Entity List, which is a 0:43:35.520 --> 0:43:37.840 list of companies that American companies are not allowed to 0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:42.120 sell goods and services to. The administration moved this to 0:43:42.200 --> 0:43:45.080 include any company that is fifty percent or more owned 0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:48.000 by a company on the export list. We've discussed on 0:43:48.040 --> 0:43:50.080 the show before that a significant part of the structure 0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:53.439 of Chinese corporate conglomerates are held together by a bunch 0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:55.880 of different companies, you know, having partial ownership by the 0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:58.640 same holding companies, which is what sort of binds companies 0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.440 and conglomerates together into race them into the management structure 0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:04.920 of the conglomerates. This is how Chinese state owned enterprises work. 0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:08.200 Being state owned enterprise literally means that you are partly 0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:11.080 or completely owned by a holding company run by SASSAK, 0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:14.880 which is the state owned Asset Supervision and Administration Commission 0:44:14.880 --> 0:44:16.960 of the State Council, because every name of the CCP 0:44:17.120 --> 0:44:20.239 is like that. So this shift to anything that's fifty 0:44:20.280 --> 0:44:22.360 percent or more owned by a company on this list 0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:26.800 is actually a massive export restriction, and the Chinese government 0:44:26.880 --> 0:44:30.160 took this as okay, we're starting the trade war again, 0:44:30.520 --> 0:44:33.040 so very quickly. There's a whole bunch of different tat 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:34.960 things that we're not going to track the order of 0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:38.320 because they kind of don't matter. But on October tenth, 0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:41.520 Trump made a Twitter post where he said that he 0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:43.480 was going to implement a one hundred percent tariff and 0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:46.239 also a software restriction thing we'll talk about later. Those 0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:48.759 are supposed to go into effect on the first. He's 0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:52.280 also been talking in the last week about bringing tariffs 0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:55.480 up to one hundred and fifty percent. We don't have 0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:58.880 any kind of formal executive order on that. This was 0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:03.840 to some extent in response to China implementing massive restrictions 0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:07.080 on the export of rare earth metals. These are crucial 0:45:07.160 --> 0:45:13.439 to basically any kind of advanced manufacturing, industrial manufacturing, applications 0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:16.600 everything from chips, electric cars that jet fighters. These are 0:45:16.640 --> 0:45:18.880 set to take effect on December first. I'm going to 0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:21.359 read this from the New York Times to get an 0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:25.439 understanding of how large these moves are. China refines ninety 0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:28.680 nine percent of the world's prosium, a kind of rare 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:30.960 earth metal that is used in chips to preserve magnetic 0:45:31.000 --> 0:45:34.200 stability even when they become hot. In the last few years, 0:45:34.560 --> 0:45:38.040 Nvidia and other semi conductor manufacturers have changed the materials 0:45:38.120 --> 0:45:41.840 used in electricity management devices called capacitors, which is a 0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:43.799 really funny way to describe a capacitor, by the way, 0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:47.600 but on chips to make them more heat resistant. The 0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:51.400 capacitors are made from ultra pure dysprosium, which is extremely 0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:55.440 difficult to refine. A single refinery in Wushi, near Shanghai 0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:59.680 produces the entire world's supply, so prove New York Times. 0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:03.920 These support restrictions include any good that is produced with 0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:07.680 these rare earth metals, and require foreign companies operating in China, 0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:10.759 like for example, Samsung or any of the sort of 0:46:10.760 --> 0:46:14.440 South Korean or Taiwanese chip manufacturers to acquire export licenses 0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:18.120 to you know, like sell them to any other country 0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:24.600 that's not China. That is a absolutely massive restriction on 0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:28.120 export goods. And also again a whole bunch of critical 0:46:28.120 --> 0:46:33.920 minerals that both the American military apparatus relies on and 0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:38.120 the American tech apparatus relies on. AI chips need a 0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:41.640 whole bunch of these things. So you know, in the 0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:45.440 middle of this process, the US also started charging Chinese 0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:49.120 built ships for docking at US ports, which China retaliated 0:46:49.120 --> 0:46:52.360 by imposing docking fees for American ships. I'm going to 0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:54.719 go and read from New York Times here. The new 0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:57.919 rules are the most stringent for Chinese shipping companies, which 0:46:57.920 --> 0:47:01.040 for the most part, cannot avoid the levies. HSBC, an 0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:05.920 investment bank, estimated that Costco not that Costco different one, 0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:08.520 a large Chinese shipping line, could pay one point five 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:11.080 billion dollars in fees next year, which the bank said 0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:14.640 could reduce Costco's operating earnings by nearly three fourths in 0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:17.960 twenty twenty six. And again, it's it's worth it's worth 0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:21.640 noting that these shipping, these shipping companies are the backbone 0:47:21.640 --> 0:47:24.719 of global trade. They also their margins are not very 0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:27.520 good and a significant number of them basically only didn't 0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:33.720 go under dream lock during the lockdowns because they effectively 0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:37.960 lied on their loan applications and we're just sort of 0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:41.200 putting in their revenue as if the lockdowns weren't happening. 0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:44.640 So this is all very very fragile infrastructure that is 0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:49.040 being you know, attacked, and these these port fees are 0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:49.600 already in. 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:53.600 Effect me doing gay cruising on my European trip. Yeah, 0:47:53.640 --> 0:47:56.719 I like global trade, all right, I continue. 0:47:57.000 --> 0:48:01.520 Oh god, okay, So we also got to report today. 0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:04.920 This is Wednesday, the twenty seconds this is being reported, 0:48:04.960 --> 0:48:07.239 so who fucking knows what will be happening by the 0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:09.600 time this episode comes out. But on Wednesday, we've got 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:12.880 to report from Reuters about the other one of the 0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:17.320 other options that Trump administration is considering for these massive 0:48:17.360 --> 0:48:21.000 sort of trade attacks on China. So I said, I 0:48:21.040 --> 0:48:23.960 said earlier when I talked about the one hundred percent tariff, 0:48:24.680 --> 0:48:30.160 Trump also mentioned a software export ban. So perb Reuters, 0:48:31.200 --> 0:48:34.080 what's being considered here, and again we have note we 0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:37.719 have very few concrete details about this. This hasn't been 0:48:37.800 --> 0:48:41.120 formally announced, my guests, is that it's being leaked to 0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:44.440 routers by the administration, but I just don't know. But 0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:48.880 what they're considering basically is a version of the sanctions 0:48:48.880 --> 0:48:52.760 that effectively Biden applied to Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, 0:48:53.200 --> 0:48:56.800 which restricts the export of any product made with US software. 0:48:57.480 --> 0:49:01.000 This would be probably the most significant developments of the 0:49:01.120 --> 0:49:05.759 entire trade war. And so these are all incredibly significant escalations. 0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:07.680 A bunch of the stuff is set to go into 0:49:07.680 --> 0:49:12.840 effect on November first, which is very very soon now. 0:49:13.160 --> 0:49:15.839 In theory, Trump and Chi Jianping are supposed to meet 0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:20.000 at the meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum 0:49:20.080 --> 0:49:22.719 in South Korea, but there's been no formal announcements of 0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:25.600 their meeting. Trumps that he was going to go to 0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:29.160 China and early next year, but that's again next year. 0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.080 The American one hundred percent tariff again November first. The 0:49:32.160 --> 0:49:35.880 Chinese export restrictions on rare earth metals again December first. 0:49:36.120 --> 0:49:36.960 Yeah. 0:49:37.400 --> 0:49:41.080 The other issue here is that the actual event starts 0:49:41.160 --> 0:49:43.400 on October thirty first, and the first terrorists was supposed 0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:44.879 to going to affect the next day. 0:49:45.360 --> 0:49:47.000 Very spooky, very spooky, indeed. 0:49:48.000 --> 0:49:51.840 Yeah, and so Trump is mad also about China refusing 0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:56.120 to buy American soybeans story we've been covering. Yeah, and 0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:59.239 you know, he's complaining about the rare earth metal soft 0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:02.879 and he's complaining about he's still yelling about fence and all. 0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:05.799 But it's also worth mentioning one of the fascinating things 0:50:05.880 --> 0:50:09.600 is Trump is continuing to piss off even more parts 0:50:09.600 --> 0:50:12.439 of his base with this stuff. So soybean farmers, which 0:50:12.480 --> 0:50:15.960 is again a huge portion of American farmers, are really 0:50:15.960 --> 0:50:19.279 mad at him. He's also pissing off cattle ranchers, So 0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:21.640 both the soybean farmers and the cattle ranchers are mad 0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:23.600 at Trump for giving a bunch of money to Argentina 0:50:23.640 --> 0:50:25.440 and not giving them a bunch of money and cutting 0:50:25.440 --> 0:50:27.960 off their ACKs to Chinese markets because Argentina again is 0:50:28.000 --> 0:50:30.040 selling a whole bunch of stuff to China. One of 0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:32.160 the things that they sell to China is beef, because 0:50:32.239 --> 0:50:35.360 Argentina is a major beef exporter. So they're all really 0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:39.319 mad at him for giving Argentina a giant bailout in 0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:41.839 order to try to save they're failing economy under their 0:50:42.560 --> 0:50:47.160 unhinged an arco capitalist and president who has annihilated the 0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:51.000 economy even more than it was before. And then Trump's 0:50:51.000 --> 0:50:53.200 response to the cattle ranchers being mad at him was 0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:55.839 telling them to lower their prices, which means they're even 0:50:55.880 --> 0:50:59.759 more mad at him. So he is systematically alienating too 0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:02.600 of what should be his most important basis of support. 0:51:02.640 --> 0:51:05.320 And like the cattle industry has been a based Republican 0:51:05.360 --> 0:51:09.160 support for I mean since time of Memorial. Effectively, the 0:51:09.239 --> 0:51:12.520 lumber and vanity tariffs that we mentioned last week have 0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:17.280 taken effect now there's been no rollback of them. And finally, 0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:19.520 I want to close on a story that we're going 0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:23.840 to be covering more on Monday, which is the continuing 0:51:23.960 --> 0:51:27.880 escalation of a sort of conflict between Colombia and the 0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:33.640 US after the US murders about full of what appeared 0:51:33.640 --> 0:51:37.400 to be Columbian fishermen. Yes, Columbia has recalled its ambassador, 0:51:37.440 --> 0:51:40.759 and the US has said that it is going to 0:51:41.239 --> 0:51:44.800 eliminate all foreign aid and impose a tariff the size 0:51:44.800 --> 0:51:49.200 of which they haven't given a consistent number. Four And 0:51:49.719 --> 0:51:53.560 this is, you know, very much could look like a 0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:57.040 pretty massive reorientation of American policy around Columbia, which has 0:51:57.040 --> 0:51:59.360 traditionally been an American ally And we've ran desk squads 0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:03.439 out of there for a very very long time. Yeah, 0:52:03.480 --> 0:52:06.640 and that has been the lightning round rapid fire trade 0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:14.359 war coverage because oh boy, yeah, yay, we've tariff talked. 0:52:14.680 --> 0:52:17.720 All right. Before we close, I do want to talk 0:52:17.800 --> 0:52:21.040 a little bit about one of the news stories this 0:52:21.080 --> 0:52:24.960 week about US political figures being like Nazism. No, not 0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:31.320 the main candidate, and no, not that other Republican staffer 0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:35.400 who had a swastika in his cubicle. The political story 0:52:35.480 --> 0:52:40.799 that reported leaked messages from the New York Young Republican 0:52:41.239 --> 0:52:44.600 telegram chat, which already tells you that it's going to 0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:47.279 be problematic, the fact that they have a telegram chat. Yeah, 0:52:47.520 --> 0:52:50.480 but the Political reported that this chat contain messages about 0:52:50.520 --> 0:52:54.480 putting political opponents in gas chambers, loving Hitler, as well 0:52:54.520 --> 0:52:57.640 as plenty of anti semitism, talking about raping their enemies, 0:52:58.000 --> 0:53:02.040 and hundreds of uses of homophonebic and raycistlers. The chair 0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:05.560 of the New York State Young Republicans, Bobby Walker, allegedly 0:53:05.640 --> 0:53:09.160 called rape epic and wrote in the chat quote if 0:53:09.160 --> 0:53:11.520 we ever had a leak of this chat, we would 0:53:11.800 --> 0:53:19.319 be cooked unquote. New York Republican Elise Stephanic first denounced 0:53:19.440 --> 0:53:23.840 this chat after the report, though later called the Politico 0:53:23.960 --> 0:53:27.840 piece a quote unquote hit job. The Matt Walsh side 0:53:27.880 --> 0:53:32.520 of the online right condemned those who leaked the chats, 0:53:33.040 --> 0:53:37.279 neglecting to discuss the substance of the chat itself, while 0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:41.360 Vance largely dismissed the affair, writing on X the Everything 0:53:41.360 --> 0:53:44.560 App quote I refused to join the pearl clutching when 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:49.200 powerful people call for political violence unquote. Vance falsely referred 0:53:49.200 --> 0:53:52.560 to this as a college group chat when team members 0:53:52.560 --> 0:53:56.239 were as old as forty years old. A day later, 0:53:56.320 --> 0:54:00.000 while guesting on the Charlie Kirk Show, JD. Vance continue 0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:03.400 to push back on the seriousness of this story and 0:54:03.440 --> 0:54:06.200 play defense by repeatedly referring to the grown that involved 0:54:06.200 --> 0:54:09.279 to our in their twenties and forties as kids and 0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:10.280 young boys. 0:54:10.960 --> 0:54:13.359 Somehow they got their hands on something like twenty eight 0:54:13.360 --> 0:54:17.160 thousand messages in some group chat group chat of I 0:54:17.160 --> 0:54:19.600 think twelve people that nobody's ever heard of. But they 0:54:19.640 --> 0:54:22.279 decided to just publish every single thing in this chat, 0:54:22.320 --> 0:54:24.560 whatever they found that they thought was the most salacious, 0:54:25.200 --> 0:54:28.319 and I think ten years ago there would have been 0:54:28.360 --> 0:54:31.240 a very different response to it. But people are starting 0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:33.680 to learn from this and the vice president. 0:54:33.719 --> 0:54:36.040 Is one of the reasons why I'm sorry. Focus on 0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:38.520 the real issues, don't focus on what kids say in 0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:41.040 group chats. But there's another angle to this that I 0:54:41.120 --> 0:54:42.960 just have to be honest about. I mean, I'm like 0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:44.680 an old guy at this one. I'm forty one years old. 0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:48.279 I have three kids. You know, I grew up in 0:54:48.280 --> 0:54:51.040 a different world, right where not most of what the 0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:52.960 stupid things that I did when I was a teenager 0:54:53.000 --> 0:54:55.880 and a young adult, they're not on the internet. Like 0:54:55.960 --> 0:54:59.120 I'm going to tell my kids, especially my boys, don't 0:54:59.160 --> 0:55:01.759 put things on the end, Like, be careful with what 0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:04.200 you post. If you put something in a group chat, 0:55:04.320 --> 0:55:06.480 assume that some scumbag is going to leak it in 0:55:06.480 --> 0:55:08.359 an effort to try to cause you harm or cause 0:55:08.360 --> 0:55:11.759 your family harm. But the reality is that kids do 0:55:11.880 --> 0:55:16.800 stupid things, especially young boys. They tell edgy, offensive jokes, 0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:19.640 like that's what kids do. And I really don't want 0:55:19.719 --> 0:55:21.759 us to grow up in a country where a kid 0:55:21.840 --> 0:55:25.520 telling a stupid joke, telling a very offensive, stupid joke 0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:28.320 is caused to ruin their lives. And at some point 0:55:28.360 --> 0:55:31.520 we're all going to have to say enough of this. Bs. 0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:35.160 We're not going to allow the worst moment and a 0:55:35.320 --> 0:55:38.120 twenty one year old's group chat to ruin a kid's 0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:39.279 life for the rest of time. 0:55:39.520 --> 0:55:40.680 That's just not okay. 0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:43.040 Like, we live in a digital world. This stuff is 0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:46.200 now etchtin stone online. We're all going to have to say, 0:55:46.200 --> 0:55:48.200 you know what, no, no, no, we're not doing this. 0:55:48.280 --> 0:55:51.520 We're not canceling kids because they do something stupid in 0:55:51.560 --> 0:55:53.799 a group chat. And if I have to be the 0:55:53.800 --> 0:55:56.160 person who carries that message forward, I'm fine with him. 0:55:56.480 --> 0:55:56.600 Right. 0:55:56.680 --> 0:55:59.840 Once again, most of these guys are like in their thirties. 0:55:59.880 --> 0:56:02.960 These guys are adults. You know, the New York Young 0:56:03.000 --> 0:56:06.120 Republicans is not a whole bunch of kids. These are young, 0:56:06.840 --> 0:56:10.640 like political in political years, because everyone who runs the 0:56:10.680 --> 0:56:16.920 country is quasi geriatric. Self proclaimed theocratic fascist Matt Walsh said, quote, 0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:20.919 the right doesn't stick together. That's our biggest problem. By far, 0:56:21.280 --> 0:56:24.440 Conservatives are quick to denounce each other, jump on dog piles, 0:56:24.480 --> 0:56:27.439 disavow attack their allies. I said a few weeks ago 0:56:27.520 --> 0:56:30.239 that we all need to band together in the wake 0:56:30.280 --> 0:56:32.799 of Charlie's death, and the answer I got back from 0:56:32.800 --> 0:56:36.520 a lot of people on the right was basically no, Well, okay, 0:56:36.520 --> 0:56:40.160 then guys, we'll just lose. Instead, the left will keep 0:56:40.440 --> 0:56:45.080 up the United Front and defend their guys no matter what. Well, 0:56:45.080 --> 0:56:48.640 we keep throwing each other to the wolves at every opportunity. 0:56:48.760 --> 0:56:54.840 Great plan. Unquote. Shapiro did beef a bit with Walsh 0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:59.440 on one of their daily wire group podcasts regarding the 0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:03.160 substance of these chats. Shapiro did seem more concerned at 0:57:03.200 --> 0:57:07.239 the growing anti Semitic and not the fascistic element of 0:57:07.239 --> 0:57:11.640 the Republican Party, whereas Walsh is does not care about 0:57:11.640 --> 0:57:14.720 that at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not not a problem 0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:19.120 for self proclaimed theocratic fascist Matt Walsh. Yeah, so that's 0:57:19.160 --> 0:57:21.680 one side of this whole political story that I wanted 0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:23.959 to talk about. You should just read the political piece. 0:57:24.040 --> 0:57:26.200 I'm sure lots people have. It got pretty popular a 0:57:26.200 --> 0:57:29.880 few days ago. But I find the sort of I mean, 0:57:30.000 --> 0:57:31.880 I would have called it like the dissident right reaction, 0:57:32.000 --> 0:57:34.080 But when you have the vice president as like, yep, 0:57:34.400 --> 0:57:36.600 the guy leading the charge on this type of stuff, 0:57:36.640 --> 0:57:39.560 it's not really distanct Like there is a large number 0:57:39.600 --> 0:57:43.600 of Republicans who are condemning the contents of this chat, 0:57:44.080 --> 0:57:46.160 but you do have the vice president of the country 0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:49.320 playing defense for it, Yeah, and for the people involved. 0:57:49.400 --> 0:57:51.200 And I think this is actually a very important thing 0:57:51.240 --> 0:57:54.360 about what the structure of the Republican Party is right now, 0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:57.520 which is these kind of low levels like staffers, right 0:57:57.880 --> 0:57:59.560 the young Republican people, and these are a bunch of 0:57:59.560 --> 0:58:01.560 people who are from making White House policy. You know, 0:58:01.600 --> 0:58:05.040 Stephen Miller is, you know, the guy who's doing a 0:58:05.040 --> 0:58:07.480 whole bunch of a whole bunch of the sort of 0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:12.280 ethnic cleansing deportation policy right now. Are just Nazis. They're 0:58:12.480 --> 0:58:14.800 just Nazis. And every time one of these group jets 0:58:14.800 --> 0:58:17.600 comes out, it looks like this. And that's a really 0:58:17.640 --> 0:58:20.919 significant factor in why American politics looks like this, which 0:58:20.920 --> 0:58:23.920 is that like the people who are entering the Republican 0:58:23.960 --> 0:58:26.920 Party right now, who are like their sort of youth 0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:30.880 wing quote unquote, are these people and we're seeing their 0:58:30.920 --> 0:58:33.480 policies get enacted. It fucking sucks. 0:58:34.160 --> 0:58:36.520 I mean, it's often baked in this like post ironic, 0:58:36.880 --> 0:58:40.480 like like a joking way, where you know, obviously the Nazis, 0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:44.040 some people in these circles say, obviously the Nazis themselves 0:58:44.040 --> 0:58:46.160 are bad, but we're using this as like a a 0:58:46.240 --> 0:58:50.120 medic signifier Yeah, for like nationalism and for all of 0:58:50.120 --> 0:58:51.880 these things. Now there is a fair number of people 0:58:51.880 --> 0:58:54.960 who just will straight up defend the Nazis, absolutely, but 0:58:55.120 --> 0:58:57.720 I think it's it's it goes beyond, like like this 0:58:58.160 --> 0:59:01.880 isn't German national socialism, Like it goes, it goes, it 0:59:01.920 --> 0:59:05.760 goes beyond to like they're using Nazism as a meme 0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:09.360 for their political project, and memes get used a lot 0:59:09.440 --> 0:59:12.400 in these types of safe spaces where people can joke around. 0:59:12.440 --> 0:59:15.479 So you see that very clearly here, But you also 0:59:15.480 --> 0:59:18.480 see it on like the DHS Twitter account you use, 0:59:18.640 --> 0:59:20.680 you see the same kind of like post ironic stuff 0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:23.880 like a few weeks ago they were fucking moon Man posting. 0:59:24.240 --> 0:59:26.200 You can google that one if you want to. You 0:59:26.200 --> 0:59:29.240 don't have time to explain, but that's a very old 0:59:29.440 --> 0:59:33.800 like internet nazi dog whistle. And you know, we've I've 0:59:33.920 --> 0:59:37.600 talked a decent bit about my feelings on like focusing 0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:41.320 a lot on like the DHS Twitter dog whistles. But yeah, 0:59:41.360 --> 0:59:44.240 it is it is in invoking of this stuff for 0:59:44.360 --> 0:59:48.080 this like mimetic like archetypal context that they surround themselves in. 0:59:48.560 --> 0:59:51.120 Yeah, and then you know, doing the actual thing, which 0:59:51.200 --> 0:59:53.440 is going out and rounding up a whole bunch of 0:59:53.760 --> 0:59:57.640 doing these ice rights now white people and like the ice. 0:59:57.440 --> 1:00:00.880 Recruiting ads are like the clearest exac sample of using 1:00:00.920 --> 1:00:04.400 this type of memetic imagery for their actual political project 1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:07.280 and then to act the thing physically. And it's very 1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:12.080 clear there because there's very little disconnected in immediate transference. Yeah, 1:00:12.120 --> 1:00:15.480 it's a very straight line. Yeah, James, want to close 1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:17.680 us up on the great state of Alaska. 1:00:18.480 --> 1:00:21.880 Yeah, I'm talking about something not so great in Alaska. 1:00:22.200 --> 1:00:23.600 But we normally do a fundraiser at the end. 1:00:23.600 --> 1:00:25.200 So I wanted to put this here for those of 1:00:25.200 --> 1:00:27.160 you who are not aware, because this has really got 1:00:28.040 --> 1:00:31.720 enough coverage, in my opinion, A massive storm, in fact, 1:00:31.760 --> 1:00:34.400 the remnants of a typhoon slammed into the west coast 1:00:34.440 --> 1:00:38.080 of Alaska, leaving more than a thousand people without shelter 1:00:38.200 --> 1:00:42.960 along the Yukon Coskoquim River. These are Alaska Native villages, 1:00:43.120 --> 1:00:46.200 and their inhabitants are now climate refugees at the very 1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:49.320 start of winter, right in the coldest place in the 1:00:49.440 --> 1:00:54.240 United States. These villages are very remote. I spent some 1:00:54.320 --> 1:00:57.160 time earlier this year in Alaska Native village not here 1:00:57.200 --> 1:01:02.120 in the interior, just in the in territories. But these 1:01:02.160 --> 1:01:07.320 guys are really only accessible by small planes or by boats, 1:01:07.560 --> 1:01:10.760 which will make their recovery even harder. 1:01:11.040 --> 1:01:12.880 Right. They're people who have lived by the. 1:01:12.840 --> 1:01:15.640 Ocean or by the river for as long as people 1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:19.520 have lived in the Americas, tens of thousands of years. Right. 1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:23.240 A few months ago, the Trump EPA canceled a twenty 1:01:23.360 --> 1:01:27.920 million dollar ground for flood protection which would have covered Kipnook, 1:01:27.960 --> 1:01:31.240 one of these villages. Kipnook now and functioning doesn't exist. 1:01:31.360 --> 1:01:33.280 Houses were torn off their foundations. 1:01:33.360 --> 1:01:33.480 Right. 1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:38.440 There are multiple videos of people's whole houses floating away. 1:01:38.920 --> 1:01:41.880 It's not just an instance of neglect or even a 1:01:41.920 --> 1:01:45.400 single failure here, it's an example of decades of ignoring 1:01:45.400 --> 1:01:48.680 the voices of indigenous people, especially Alaska Natives, when they 1:01:48.680 --> 1:01:50.800 tell us that the climate crisis is real and that 1:01:50.880 --> 1:01:51.680 it's already here. 1:01:51.960 --> 1:01:55.800 Right. When the media looks at. 1:01:55.640 --> 1:01:59.120 Climate change, they tend to want to look at data 1:01:59.160 --> 1:02:01.480 they can measure in terms of numbers according to the 1:02:01.520 --> 1:02:04.600 model of Western science. But I would argue that the 1:02:04.600 --> 1:02:06.640 experience of Indigenous people who have lived on the land 1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:09.680 for as long as human beings have lived anywhere on 1:02:09.680 --> 1:02:13.200 this continent and have watched the changes and seen this 1:02:13.280 --> 1:02:16.320 disaster unfold. Should be a warning to all of us 1:02:16.520 --> 1:02:20.160 that the climate crisis is already here. I reached out 1:02:20.200 --> 1:02:23.160 to some Alaska Native friends to ask where to donate, 1:02:23.440 --> 1:02:27.400 and they shared a page which will be in the 1:02:27.400 --> 1:02:29.440 show notes that the shows if you're able to help, 1:02:29.600 --> 1:02:31.560 I think that's very important thing to do. Recovery for 1:02:31.600 --> 1:02:36.040 these people with this federal government, with being as remote 1:02:36.040 --> 1:02:40.080 as they are, will be horrifically difficult right now. Many 1:02:40.080 --> 1:02:42.360 of them are living in Anchorage right Like I said, 1:02:42.360 --> 1:02:44.040 they're going into the winter and then they don't have 1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:48.600 a place to live. It's an unmitigated disaster. So if 1:02:48.640 --> 1:02:51.280 you're able to help, I think it would be very 1:02:51.360 --> 1:02:54.040 much appreciated.
