Executive Disorder, our weekly 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.400 newscast covering what's happening in the White House, the crumbling world, 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.600 and what it means for you. I'm Garrison Davis today, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:04.000 joined by Mia Wang and James Stout. This episode, we 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.120 are covering the week of June four to June eleventh. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:12.639 Let's start James with an update on the protests happening 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.880 in la In response to mass ice raids in the 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.239 Los Angeles area and also around the country. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.240 Yeah, so I've been in LA. I was up covering it. 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.799 I'm back home now. It's on Wednesday. We did a 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.360 whole episode about this people can listen to. In terms 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.000 of update, I think things were a little bit smaller tonight. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.440 There were a large number of detentions. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:33.680 Made late tonight. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.560 You mean last night, Tuesday night? 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:36.680 Tuesday night, okay. 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:37.320 Yeah. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:42.000 To summarize, right, the first two nights saw the city. 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:42.800 Caught off guard. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.120 Yeah, the weekend was pretty spicy. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.440 Yeah, it got pretty well that there. A couple of 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.000 cop cars got destroyed. I think some Weimos made the 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.200 ultimate sacrifice our rip Weimo yep oh. I saw them 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:58.360 trucking the Weimos out and there was not much Weimo left, 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.880 Like it was the remains of the waim passed me, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:07.320 gone but not forgotten. So by Monday morning, they had 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.959 flooded Los Angeles with police. I saw police from LAPD, 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:17.400 LA SD, I saw police from fps DHS, National Guard, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.519 California Highway patrols play it's like Pokemon for cops up there, 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:27.120 and that resulted in them splitting up protesters cattling and 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.800 detaining people on Monday night, and they made extremely liberal 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:36.920 use of impact munitions, chemical ritans, etc. Batterday Sunday, Monday Tuesday, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.880 thousands of impact munitions that you can find kissings all 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.720 over DTLA if you just go walk around. I saw 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.920 a lot of like people had tagged up a lot 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.880 of buildings in DTLA. But from what I've seen, I 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.440 don't know. We'll see, Right, It's also of the week, 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.160 so maybe things will get bigger again over the weekend. 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:54.520 Yeah. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.560 I things can get less combative during the week because 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.920 people are busy with work and keeping themselves like fed 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.480 and had housed, and then on the weekend things can 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.480 sometimes open back up again. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.800 Yeah. And also it's worth it's worth noting how these 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.040 how these specific protests are flaring up, which is that 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.000 like these ones are flaring up when Ice like drags 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:16.960 people out of a place. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.120 Yeah, it is directly in response to ICE kidnapping their. 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.919 Names, right, And so you know, the next time ICE 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.120 does a bunch of kidnappings of people, there's a chance 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.160 to do it will pop off again because people are 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.239 being like, holy shit, don't take my neighbor away. 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.680 Yeah, and the LA protests are already happening in a sequence. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.880 Right We had stuff happening in San Diego, We then 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.359 had stuff in Minneapolis, We then had stuff in Chicago. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.360 We then had the really big flare of which was LA. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.559 And I think what's interesting right now is that instead 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.279 of having just like nationwide riots like there was in 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.800 twenty twenty, this is more like a sequence that actually 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.920 directly follows the actions of ICE. And in some ways, 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.280 I think this can be harder to combat. If every 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.039 city has the capacity to do what LA has done 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.880 in response to the actions of ICE, that follow the 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.720 actions of ICE, that could be harder to prepare for 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.159 than just the federal government realizing that we have to 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.440 do massive counter insurgency everywhere, all at the same time, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.880 like what happened in twenty twenty. If instead this is 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.279 a rolling sequence of protests that happened directly in response 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.479 to ICE actions, any city could be next. Instead of 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.960 just trying to prepare for nationwide riots, they have to 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.600 be this more like mobile fluid force. They have to 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.080 respond to different outbursts that happen in different cities at 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.120 different times. And I think the other advantage that this 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.520 model has is that the actual protesters themselves can also 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.040 iterate on tactics. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.159 every time, you can take what happened in a previous city, 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.320 like a week ago, two weeks ago, and iterate on that. 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.560 Iterate on what was unsuccessfully, what captured attention, and what 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.440 was able to catch the cops off guard, minimizing mass arrests. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.880 Yeah, in terms of the state response, just in case 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.560 people have missed it, right, two thousand National Guard troops, 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:57.599 seven hundred United States Marines. The Marines came from twenty 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.960 nine Palms. I know the Core has like an urban 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.000 warfare school, or at least had one there in twenty 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.960 nine pounds. Obviously, Camp Pendleton is a bigger base. Well, 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.799 I see, it might not be geograph they're both huge 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.279 and closer to LA, but they sent them from twenty 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:11.400 nine Palms instead. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.120 I didn't see any Marines. 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.120 They're just supposed to be protecting federal assets and not 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.560 supposed to be out there like straight up policing. Obviously, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.240 that's you know, unconstitutional. One can make a case it's 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.360 unconstitutional to be deploying them at all in this fashion. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.960 There are some on the streets now National Guard is 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.640 actually making arrests on the street. Marines have not as 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.400 of Wednesday, but some of the Marines have been deployed. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.360 There's upwards of seven hundred who are like in the 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.039 process of being deployed at LA streets right now, out 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.799 of two thousand available troops, some of which are actually 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.840 still receiving training on standard rules of force. So these 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.559 people do not have necessarily like extensive training on police 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.800 crowd control, but are currently brushing up on crowd control tactics. Yeah, 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.599 what I saw from National Guard was like it seemed 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.440 to be by rank, although I'm not certain of that 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.680 guy with with shields and sticks right, just straight up 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.039 poles as opposed to like truncheons with like a T 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.320 shape or an L shape or whatever. And then probably 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.080 one in every five or six had an M four 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.040 with a magazine. That's a gun for people who aren't familiar, 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.480 it's in AAR fifteen and that's obviously live ammunition. So 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.600 like they didn't seem to have any access to like 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.000 less lethals or they didn't bring them if they did that, 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.280 I don't know about the Marine. And obviously we saw 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.240 like police using less lethals and then LASD also had 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.920 some cops with M fours amongst their formations. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.080 And this is just about to like really expand outside 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.040 of LA and California admidst anti ICE protests across Texas. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.880 Governor Greg Abbott just deployed the Texas National Guard, and 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.360 on Tuesday night, I believe MSNBC broke the story that 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.720 ICE is about to send special Response team quote unquote 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.520 tactical units to five Democrat controlled areas, namely in New 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:59.080 York City, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, and northern Virginia. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.480 Yeah, is like a swat team if you're not familiar. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.280 Like there was a DHSSRT that ended up responding in too, 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.040 that South Park protest in San Diego that we mentioned 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:10.800 last week or the week before. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.880 As of Wednesday, there's already been protests this week and 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:18.240 over half US states. This will certainly continue throughout the weekend. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.360 At least for LA. On Tuesday night, the mayor announced 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.880 an eight pm curfew in downtown Los Angeles. That were 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.560 mass arrests Tuesday night, hundreds of people. I think the 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:32.160 other advantage that this kind of rolling sequence model that 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:36.440 we've seen with like San Diego, Minneapolis, Chicago, LA is 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.040 that not only does it give people time to like 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.640 iterate on tactics, it also gives people a break. If 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.360 anyone who survived twenty twenty, like you know how how 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.960 intense burnout can be from just doing that all the time. Yeah, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.560 and having the built in brakes where you can like 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.520 recover physically and mentally while iterating on tactics, that could 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:55.520 be interesting to see. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.440 I think also this one thing we should notice about this, 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.400 which is that like there's a very clear actual thing 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.360 you're trying to do here, which is stop them from 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.199 taking these people. And even if you fail to immediately 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.280 take someone, they stop them taking someone in the moment. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.560 Every single like second they're having to do dealing with 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.600 this shit means that they're not doing it. Yeah, so 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.400 you're you're degrading their capacity. Yeah, exactly. The time is 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.840 like the most valuable asset year. Yeah. And and like 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.160 obviously again like the larger goals you want to like expel, 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:24.840 Like you know, like one of the most common things 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.599 I'm hearing from people is just like ice out of 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.120 the city, right, Like we don't want them to be 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.320 doing these raids, but every every time they're forced to 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.520 like actually face resistance when they're doing the raid makes 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:35.960 it much much harder for them to do what they 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.280 have to start planning for there to be resistance to 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.560 the rage, which slows them down. And yeah, everything you 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.240 could do to put fucking wrenches into the gears until 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.600 the machine breaks is good. And there's a there's a 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.480 very clear path from A to B, two C in 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.280 a way that they're kind of aren't. Like. It doesn't 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.640 rely on politicians doing stuff. It just relies on us 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:57.840 stopping them. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.800 So yeah, yeah doing stuff. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.959 The city of Glendale did cancel its detention contract with ICE, right, 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.800 so they won't be detaining people there. So like a 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.920 little bit of progress there. And Gavin Newsom has said 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.960 some shit about the deployment of the National Guard and 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.040 California as far the court case, like Newsom has not 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.560 done everything in his power to stop that. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.160 But it's Gavin Newsom. What do you expect? 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.440 I'll be back in the ela of things continue there. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.680 But it's certainly the biggest protest we've seen this time 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.199 around in the Trump administration. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.679 All right, let's go and break and come back to 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:40.720 discuss more news. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:51.079 We are back, and unlike people from twelve countries who 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.080 will not be coming back to the United States for 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.240 the foreseeable future because the Trump administration has announced. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.640 A new travel ban. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.840 The form of the travel ban is basically, anyone who 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.880 applies for a visa or is in the process of 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.360 applying for a visa currently, if they are from one 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.520 of these twelve countries is unable to obtain a visa 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.720 to the United States. Right the twelve countries, seven have 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:20.360 partial restrictions, and then the full ban is on Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:26.760 the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrere, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:32.800 and Yemen. And then Borundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.880 and Venezuela have like a higher barrier right and some 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:37.959 visas are not available to them. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.040 Is an interesting inclusion there, Yeah, it is. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.720 They looked at two criteria. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.760 E seems because Trump made an executive order at the 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.240 start of his presidency like looking to identify countries for 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.560 a travel ban. The two criteria they had were visa 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.640 over stay percentages and the quote unquote not having a 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.280 competent central authority to cooperate with vetting, right, So, like 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.280 you can't do a background check on someone if their 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.440 country doesn't have that facility. It's a claim, right. I 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.120 think they got vanmar On visa overst eight percentages. It's 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.000 worth noting, right that they use percentages and not raw 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.800 numbers for a reason, because, yeah, a certain percentage of 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.680 Burmese people may overstay their visa. I think it's twenty 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.959 seven point one percent. That amounts to five hundred and 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.240 forty three individuals. If we look at, for instance, France, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.320 these are twenty twenty three numbers. About zero point six 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.240 percent of French people overstay their visa. That amounts to 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:40.120 nine one hundred and eighty two individuals. Right, So, like 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.240 a percentage is great, but if a big percentage of 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.440 a small thing is still a small thing. Yeah, this 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.000 is how they're attempting to justify it though in terms 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.640 of bulletproofing it through the courts. Obviously, they didn't have 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.600 the best luck with their travel ban in the first administration, 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.560 so using this tactic is one that they're hoping will 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:56.959 justify it. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.319 Will it will stick the landing through the courts. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:04.440 Should add that they have some exemptions right, existing visa 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.839 holders who are currently within the United States can remain 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:07.800 in the United States. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:08.080 Right. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.319 In practice, lots of these countries only get single entry visas, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:12.720 so it might be hard for them to leave and 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.040 come back. But it's sometimes I've heard it reported that 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.000 all these people, like people from these countries can no 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.280 longer come to the United States, will be in the 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.720 United States, and that's not true. There are exemptions for 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.960 people who are dual citizens. There are exemptions for adoptive children. 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:32.880 There are exemptions for ethnic and religious minorities in Iran. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:39.400 There are exemptions for sports teams because the United States thing, well, 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.840 the United States is holding the World Cup and the Olympics, right, yeah, 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.439 so like it would be something of a fascical spectacle 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.000 if you know, nineteen countries were not represented. I mean, 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.240 the Olympic Games is something of a fascal spectacle to 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:57.040 begin with, one could argue, but yeah, they didn't want that, right, 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.760 they didn't want that like international spectacle. So a professional 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.439 athlete visa is hard to get at the best of times, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.080 so that is a high bar, but those ones still 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.440 seem to be available. And then there's also exemptions for 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.920 SIV wrote special immigrant visas. These are people who have 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.559 worked closely with the United States. The vast bulk of 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.400 them will be Afghan people, people who worked as interpreters 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.160 or otherwise cooperated with the United States during the twenty 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.200 years the United States was at. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.520 War in Afghanistan. 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.800 Again, I've seen that mis reported, including by people who 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.320 really should know better. But you know, I'm never not 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.640 disappointed in a lot of people's immigration coverage. This will 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.040 be challenging court, right, but I think they have gone 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.160 some way to trying to make this a bit more 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:46.280 bulletproof than they did before. And it is concerning that 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.200 they seem to have a better chance. Obviously pretty concerning, 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.960 especially for US, you know, with our extensive reboarding on 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.400 Burma or Mihanmar, that those people can't come here and 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.440 be safe. Yeah, that's a travel man in a nutshell, 0:14:59.480 --> 0:14:59.880 I guess. 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.280 Also, I think it's worth noting so like this is 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.240 just an expanded version Well, I guess it's like a 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.640 little bit of differences, but it's basically an expanded version 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.200 of the Muslim band from his first term. 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.400 Yeah, with some new countries, and I think maybe the 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.560 removal of some countries from previously. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.120 Yeah, And like it's worth noting that, like in Trump. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.400 One like that immediately caused the airport protests, which were 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.680 like the first big protests of the administration that were 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.480 extremely effective until people like went home. And this time 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.520 it's basically not been a news story because we're so 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.160 far along that the protests have been about like ices 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.520 dragging our neighbors away, and yeah, I just think that's 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.560 fucking bad as shit. And also the airport protests, like, 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:42.720 we're really effective. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.760 They some of the more effective protests in those years. Yeah, yeah, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:46.520 I am yea. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.200 I did see a flyer for an airport protest, but 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.760 I've seen no evidence of one's occurring. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.000 Yeah. I had heard that there was going to be 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.160 one on Monday, but that it just like didn't happen, 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.720 So I don't know what's going on with that. Yeah, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.120 but that was a thing that was pretty effective, and 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.800 they also didn't eat the shirt of everyone for most 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.320 of it, which was nice. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:07.960 Yeah. 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.560 Yeah, well Mia, talking of beats, how about we dropped 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.040 some beats right now with this sick tariff song. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:24.000 Great work, James, thank you, thank you, Rocking Jazz Rocket 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:32.480 Jazz Bot Sorry Rocket Jazz Rocking Jazz bo. 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.920 The Donald Trump has apparently, according to him, resolved that 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.600 the trade war with China. He's planning the negotiation one 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:43.000 he's claiming, he's. 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.960 Claiming victory, mission accomplished. Ye the claim that. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.560 He's making out of the out of the London negotiations. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.200 And I want to point out that I have not 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.040 heard anything from the Chinese side. It's possible there will 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.040 be soft from the Chinese side by the time this 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.400 episode comes out. It's possible this whole deal will have 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.760 collass by the time this comes out. It seems like 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.119 the deal is that US maintains tariffs at fifty five percent, 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.920 which is what they're at right now, China maintains ten 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.240 percent tariffs, and then China ensures US access to rare 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:17.720 earth metals, and then the US does Trump was talking 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.560 about the US not actually doing a crackdown on like 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.840 Chinese international students. So who knows what the fuck is 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.800 going to happen with any of that. That is the 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.359 reporting that's coming out right now. I don't know. Quite frankly, 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:36.960 I am skeptical this is going to hold. I again, like, 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.679 I don't I don't know if, like in two days 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.040 when this episode comes out of any of this is 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.119 going to be true because again, we have heard nothing 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.480 from the Chinese side. It has all been from Trump, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:53.520 so who the fuck knows. But yeah, that's that. That is. 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.159 That is the late of tariff news. This is a 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:55.920 kind of short one. 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.919 That's that's what we've got. That's exciting. That's exciting that 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.119 we won. Trade is back. I can go back to 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.480 buying everything I owned from Timu, no problem. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.280 Yeah, I mean, I give my usual disclaimer that fifty 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.000 percent tariff on China is like fucking ruinous the global economy, 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.720 et cetera, et cetera. I do genuinely hope that, like 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.080 the Chinese international students are getting cracked out on because 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.640 Jesus fucking Christ, those poor kids. All of these policies 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.639 are tied together in this sort of like unhinged like 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.880 American Nationalist Project etctera, et cetera. They're all connected. They 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.679 hate us all and yay, really really fun time to 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.320 be a Chinese trans woman in the US. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:40.679 WHOA, Okay, it's also fun to enjoy the COVID vaccine 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.119 because we might not get it for much longer. I 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.240 guess I'll do a brief update on an episode I 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.440 did with Cave a few weeks ago. So RFK has 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:54.280 now dismissed the entirety of the ACIP, the CDC's Vaccine 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.520 Advisory Committee that has just been completely dissolved. This happened 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.359 on Tuesday. That was the big theory that Cave had 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.080 is that if that panel gets dissolved, that that was 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.600 kind of the last line of defense with like reasonable 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.000 people being in charge of COVID vaccine recommendations at the CDC. 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.800 And that has gone And just a few minutes ago, 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.679 RFK Junior announced the replacements. And i'd have not had 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.000 enough time to look into all these guys because this 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.280 was literally just thirty minutes ago, But at least half 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.919 of them are at the very least what would be 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:30.720 considered a COVID vaccine skeptic. Oh crazy cool, right wing 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:35.920 libertarian types, people who have been dismissed from their academic positions. Basically, 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.879 it's who you would expect RFK two to submit to 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:44.040 a vaccine advisory panel. The very least half are like cranks. 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:46.960 I will try to look into the rest of these 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:48.680 guys in the future. We should probably do a full 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:53.000 follow up episode eventually on the new panel. So not 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.760 looking good on the COVID vaccine front. 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.879 Yeah, we also have very bad news from the S 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.080 which instead of, like you know, I don't know, like 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:07.240 I know, crypto scams are supposed to be the SEC's thing, 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.240 but I feel like the FCC also should have fucking 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.640 things for crypto scams. But instead of instead of going 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.760 after the fucking crypto scams, what they're doing is they're 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:19.280 gonna hold like meetings basically with what is I'm assuming 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.199 is going to be a bunch of the most unhingedy 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:27.480 transgrifters and anti trans like packs, frauds, and violent bigots. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.960 Notably not trans people. Yeah, yeah, they will not be included, 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.200 no for the statements. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.679 No trans people, no trans people, No, no, no, no. They're looking 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.119 into ways to do like FCC investigations for like deceptive 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.600 marketing practices for any doctor and also parents for some reason, 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.280 which how the fuck is you're going after a parent 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.840 for defective marketing? What the fuck are you doing here? 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:51.199 But anyone who like gives a child's any kind of 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:52.280 trans healthcare. 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.320 I mean, is it specifically trans healthcare or are they 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:59.120
