1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: Cool media. This is it?

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,520

Speaker 3: It's we have a whole thing that we've been doing.

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: Happen we have been.

00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 4: This is the first episode that started differently in like twelve.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Why don't you why don't you introduce a rectile dysfunction

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: or whatever we call this?

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 4: That's not what it's called. This is it could happen here.

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,720

Speaker 2: to the Pope's funeral arrested Biden for treason afterward, but

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: it turned out to be a body double, So.

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 4: Breaking news.

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: Joe still has a trigger too up his sleep, Patriots

00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: not in control.

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: What a beautiful world people must live.

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: I desperately want to lift in the world where like

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: Joe Biden is a Saga era type rebel figure, like

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: tricking special forces with body doubles, hiding in the mountains.

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: They called him Joe the Jackal for a reason.

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he locked up in a Vatican vaults where he's

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: scheming his return.

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: He just stolen nuke from Fort Leonard Wood. Oh boy,

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: he's in a tiny submarine making its way to keep

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: it right.

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 4: Now, I guess you know, speaking of the pope, but

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: Trump himself has announced his running for the pope ship paper.

42
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Why not let him have it.

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: Let him have it, We will keep a close eye

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: on that.

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: Let him have it.

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: But make Stanley Tucci do whatever job Stanley Tucci had

47
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: in conclave.

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: Make him the lib A cuck cardinal. Why not?

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, speaking of lib cut No, speaking

50
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: of judges, who actually exercised a great deal of personal courage.

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: There have been two cases in the last week or

52
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: so of judges being arrested and charged by the Trump

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: administration with crimes that are all related to aiding and

54
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: debedding undocumented immigrants. Right, I'm going to start with the

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 2: case of Hannah Dugan. Hannah Dugan is a Wisconsin She's

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: a Milwaukee County Circuit judge. She was sworn in in

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. So she's I wanted to say, I wanted

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: to say she hasn't been doing this very long, but no,

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: that's literally like nine years, eight or nine years, so

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: she's been doing this a spell. She's sixty five years old.

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: And on March twelfth, there was a fellow Flora's Ruiz

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: is his last name. He's thirty years old, who was

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: arrested after basically there was a confrontation between him and

64
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: his roommates for him playing loud music. He was confronted

65
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: for this on March twelfth, and he allegedly fought with

66
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: a male roommate in the kitchen. A woman I'm not

67
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: sure if she was a roommate or just there tried

68
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: to break them up. Two women eventually did. One of

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: them got elbowed in the arm, allegedly by Flores Ruiz.

70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: One of them was struck while trying to break them up.

71
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: It is unclear to the degree to which I'm hearing

72
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people like I went to the centrist

73
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: subreddit to see this, and they're like, well, a serial

74
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: abuser of women.

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: That's not really what he's being accused of.

76
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: There's like a fight between him and another guy and

77
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: it got chaotic. One person elbowed in the arm. I'm sorry,

78
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: I don't consider that serious domestic abuse unless it's part

79
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: of a pattern. If it's literally he was fighting a

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: guy and other people swarmed in and some of them

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: one of them got elbowed. I don't know about this

82
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: woman that he's alleged of striking, Like to what degree

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: did he haul off and punch her or was it again,

84
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: there was this chaotic struggle and several people got struck

85
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: in the middle of it. Right, this isn't like great,

86
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: but this is certainly not. The evidence that has been

87
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: provided by the state here in this case is not

88
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: that this is a serial domestic abuser of women. It's

89
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: a guy who was involved in a chaotic fight with

90
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: a roommate and a couple of other people. Right, So

91
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: he's being charged with misdemeanor domestic battery as a result

92
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: of this. He faces up to nine months in prison

93
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: and a ten thousand dollars fine on each count if convicted,

94
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: and he has not been convicted and is innocent until

95
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: proven guilty. So he went up in front of Judge

96
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Dugan literally a few days ago when we record this,

97
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: and while she was in the midst of like having

98
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: this like court meeting. Basically, I think this was kind

99
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: of like a pre trial deal, right where they're kind

100
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: of like setting the ground rules of things. She finds

101
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: out that Ice is in the courthouse and that they

102
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: are looking for Flores Ruiz, and so she gets really

103
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: angry because based on what Wisconsin has stated, like the

104
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: actual law in the state, they are not supposed to

105
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: be interfering in actual court proceedings. And part of the

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: reason why is that the courts don't want people to

107
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: be dissuaded from dealing with their state level court issues

108
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: by the fact that Ice might pick them up.

109
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: Right.

110
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: It will stop people, It will make people go on

111
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: the run. It makes it very difficult to enforce law

112
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: and order, and it also like victims, right, Like I've said,

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: at least if some makes it difficult for victims to

114
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: get any sort of justice.

115
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah.

116
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: The FBI affidavit describes hers getting visibly angry when Immigration

117
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: shows up and she leaves the bench right, and she

118
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: retreats to her chambers and I think confers with another judge,

119
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: and she and that judge then approach the arrest team

120
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: inside the courthouse. The affidavit describes her as having a confrontational,

121
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: angry demeanor. She basically keeps saying, show me a fucking warrant, right,

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: And they don't have a quote unquote real warrant, right,

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: They do not have a criminal arrest warrant. They have

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: an administrative warrant, which, based on the actual law, they

125
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: do not. She does not have to let them in, right,

126
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: That is not the way these things fucking work right

127
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: into the courtroom to like interrupt the proceedings on the

128
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: strength of this warrant. She tells them to speak with

129
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: the chief judge, and she leads them away from the

130
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: courtroom right once. She sends them to the chief Judge's office.

131
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: This is where the thing that may in fact be

132
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: criminal behavior comes in, Dugan goes back into the courtroom

133
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: and says something along the lines of weight, come with me,

134
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: and then takes Flora's Ruiz and his lawyer through the

135
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: jury door into a non public area of the courthouse. Right,

136
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: this is not normal behavior. And Ice is alleging that

137
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: this is interfering with the duties of federal agents, right,

138
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: that she's basically hiding an undocumented immigrant who is being

139
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: actively tracked by Ice, right, and that that is a

140
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: federal crime. And so that is the situation.

141
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: Right.

142
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: When it was found out that this was happening, the

143
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: FBI and ICE arrested her. She has since bailed out.

144
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: She is facing several federal charges, and it's you know,

145
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: kind of unclear where this case is going to go.

146
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: In terms of her initial behavior. She was absolutely legally

147
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: in the right. That administrative warrant did not give Ice

148
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: the right to interrupt the court proceedings. She led them

149
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: to the chief judge. That was all entirely within the law.

150
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: We're going to learn how the law adjudicates what she

151
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: did afterwards, Right, taking these people through, because it's not

152
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: illegal to lead people through a back door. It's not

153
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: a crime to tell people to leave this way. But

154
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: what may be adjudicated as a crime is that by

155
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: doing this, she was helping to aid in a bet

156
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: the escape of a fugitive, Right, And that is the

157
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: argument that the federal government is making here.

158
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't leave the building at that point, right,

159
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: because in the charging documents, then an ICE agent gets

160
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: in the elevator with them, yeah, and decides not to

161
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: detain them at that point for some reason. Yeah. Yeah,

162
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: I believe that's what happened.

163
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: And that part of is why I think they picked

164
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: this case because they thought it was close enough on

165
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: the edge enough that they could charge a judge. And

166
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: I think that is the purpose of this more than

167
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: going after this, and that's why they've been going to

168
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: these courtses. They have been looking, they've been shopping for

169
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: a situation like this, right, in part because one of

170
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: the first things that happened is the Wisconsin Supreme Court

171
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: suspended Judge Dugan right because she's been charged with two

172
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: federal counts. And this is a normal thing. If a

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: judge gets accused of federal crimes, you would, in normal

174
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: terms want them to be suspended because those crimes are

175
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: probably something like they were selling children to a child prison,

176
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: which is a thing that happened to Trump. Pardon the

177
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: judges responsible, right, you would want those people not trying

178
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: cases while this was going on. But what's going to

179
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: be done here, and what's already being done here, is

180
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: that judges that are friendly to and sympathetic to undocumented

181
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: people and who are not gigantic pieces of shit. And

182
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: Judge Dugan comes out of a public defense background. This

183
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: is somebody who defended people like the defendant in this

184
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: case in her previous life as a lawyer, and I

185
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: think acted with tremendous courage in this situation to try

186
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: to protect somebody. They are going after her because remember one,

187
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: they want to chill other judges from doing this, and

188
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: number two, they can keep her off the bench right

189
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 2: and assume she will be replaced with somebody worse, or

190
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: that they will just clog up the system, either way

191
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: of which works in their favor. So it will be

192
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: unclear how things are going to work out in this case.

193
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: I can't tell you legally what's going to happen that

194
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: could go either way. I can tell you, and I

195
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: think this is a very important point. It's a point

196
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: Jared Yate Sexton, who's a scholar on fascism, made online

197
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: about this particular case is we shouldn't give a shit

198
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: if she broke the law. She did the right thing.

199
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: These people are doing the wrong thing and they need

200
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: to be stopped right And that is my overall stance.

201
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: What she did was heroic and we should support her

202
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: and fuck these people.

203
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, yep, yep. I don't have a

204
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: complicated take on that.

205
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: Solidarity with the Wisconsin judiciary or at least one of them.

206
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: At least one of them.

207
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

208
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 2: I have a friend who knows her and says she's

209
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: a very nice person, and her actions in this case

210
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: certainly would seem to suggest that she's a very nice,

211
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: good courageous person.

212
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like just to there's conceivably like a person

213
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: listening who thinks that, you know, these deportation things are okay.

214
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: I know if you are, fuck you, why this isn't

215
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: for you? Go away? Yeah, well, yeah, we're not making

216
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: it for you.

217
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: Put rocks in your pockets, and yeah there's bodies of it.

218
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: Whatever the even if you fucking like the deportation for

219
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: whatever reason, you should be able to understand that doing

220
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: this in court houses is bad if a let's just

221
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: take an example, right, like, if a woman who is

222
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: undocumented is subject to domestic violence, right, going to testifying

223
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: court could lead to her being deported, Like, this is

224
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: fucking bad.

225
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: It could subject her to even more violence from the

226
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: state from yeah, wherever she's trying to flee from, yeah.

227
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: To being detained with people yeah, yes, if you leave

228
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,479
Speaker 1: in the judicial system right like, this stops it functioning.

229
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Also, I want to say this too, if you're purely

230
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 2: coming at this from a perspective of like, well, I'm

231
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: still a law and order guy, this also vastly endangers

232
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: Wisconsin police because if every undocumented person who gets accused

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: of a crime knows that, well, the instant I'm accused,

234
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to be sent to a fucking concentration camp.

235
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Might as well start shooting, right, Yeah.

236
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: It's why you don't see very many of these things

237
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: happening in states where people regularly carry firearms.

238
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 2: Yes, so again, you know that's all I'm saying. That's

239
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: not my primary concern, but I'm going to make that point.

240
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, what about the other like weirder case of the

241
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: New Mexico case.

242
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: The judge in New Mexico.

243
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: Yes, so now back to my fellow New Mexico municipal judge.

244
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: Actually think he was a judge, yea county magistrate. Yeah,

245
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: so he and I basically the same. So there's this

246
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: guy Nancy Cano who's a former police officer, his wife

247
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 2: was a cop. And Joel Cano, who is the Donna

248
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: Anna County magistrate judge. These two are really you wouldn't

249
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: have expected what happened from this group. These two are

250
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: a cop and a judge.

251
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: Couple radical lefty lunatics who.

252
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: Are wealthy landlords who own at least eight properties, and

253
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: they hire three men to do like you know, contracting work.

254
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: And those men included a guy Christian Ortega Lopez twenty

255
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: three years old, right, who is a Venezuelan migrant. And

256
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: first off, because these are cops or a cop and

257
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: a judge, they like check his papers which say do

258
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: not deport right, like he is in the the system,

259
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: not subject. This person is not subject to removal, right,

260
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: those are on his papers. They check his papers. They

261
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: work for these three guys, work for them for a

262
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: while and develop a close relationship with the Catos to

263
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: the point that they refer to them as the boys,

264
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: and when they get kicked out of their apartment, they

265
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: let them live with them, I think for free or

266
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: at least for a nominal fee. And as they describe it,

267
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: they came to consider them part of the family. And

268
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: there's like photo evidence of that, including photo evidence of

269
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: them like going to the gun range together as like

270
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: a family day at the gun range and shooting. And

271
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: like this guy Artago Lopez like posts pictures of these

272
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: people and these like family outings on his Facebook, like

273
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: they really do seem to have all been very close. Yeah,

274
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: earlier this year, Ice comes for these guys, the boys,

275
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: these three dudes who are living on their property, in

276
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: a small guest house on the Knos property, and they

277
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: allege or Tega Ortiz to have been a member of

278
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: Trinda Agua. And it's based on and I hate most

279
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: of the reporting on this because it's all just like

280
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: the alleged alleged gang member, alleged Trinda Agua member. And

281
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: you look at it as well, he has tattoos and

282
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: there's pictures of him with guns, pictures him with guns

283
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: that are legally owned by Americans at a gun range.

284
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a twenty three year old guy coming to America,

285
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: Like there's a high correlation with those people and people

286
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: going to a gun range.

287
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing illegal with that, but they're like a gang

288
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: member photos of guns on his Facebook.

289
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

290
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: So these guys get arrested, right, and it's initially and

291
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: this is like a month or so ago. It's big scandal.

292
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: Cano resigns from his position as a magistrate, right and

293
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: gets permanently barred serving as a judge in New Mexico

294
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: because these guys had been on his property, even though

295
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: again there's not any evidence that I have seen anywhere

296
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: that he actually did anything illegal at this point. Now, yeah,

297
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: here's where things get problematic. At this point, the boys

298
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: are being you know, the government is treating them as

299
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: people who are here illgally, and they are trying to

300
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: kick them out, and they are accusing them, these three guys,

301
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: of being evolved in Trindagua. At this point, Nancy Kano

302
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: provides them with legal assistance in complying with the procedures

303
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: of their pending immigration cases, right, which shouldn't be illegal.

304
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: She's literally helping them abide by the law. Right.

305
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: But there's some other things.

306
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: So Joel Cano, this is where this guy turns from

307
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: like fucking married a cop, he's a landlord, he smashes

308
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: or take a Lopez's phone. He admits, he's admitted that

309
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: he's done this. This is not an allegation with a

310
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: hammer to stop Ice from getting it.

311
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: So, first off, based.

312
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: Illegal, super illegal, super illegal, but not a like a

313
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: good person act, I would argue. Secondly, Nancy tries to help,

314
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: and this is I think a grayer area. Tries to

315
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: help or tag A Lopez delete his Facebook account, and

316
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't actually think there's any evidence of him doing

317
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: anything illegal on there. I think it's just they knew

318
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: the photos he'd posted of him not breaking any laws

319
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: would be used as an argument that he had I

320
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: think that that's defensible in court, although they will allege

321
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: that it's destruction with the evidence that they may win

322
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: on that. Breaking the phone is a you know, that's

323
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: going to be a tough one for them. That's just

324
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: going to be a tough one for them. Now the

325
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: Kno's are currently being charged and they have been released.

326
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: They can't leave the county. There was the prosecutors where

327
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: tim they have them separated so that they couldn't talk

328
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: about the case. But thank god the judge ruling was, like,

329
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: they're married, they have a constitutional right.

330
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: To be together. You don't get to do that.

331
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: But obviously they have to like hand in their passports

332
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: any guns they'd had, which they seem to have already done.

333
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: The good news is that these are rich people, right

334
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: Like the judge even makes a comment that, like, these

335
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: are the wealthiest people I've ever had in my courtroom,

336
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: so they have the resources to fight this. And again

337
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: fucking politics making strange bedfellows. Yep, Yeah, critical support to

338
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: the landlord, judge, cop couple who tried to protect these immigrits.

339
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like whatever they did the right thing,

340
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: you know, in my opinion, again not the legal thing,

341
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: and I'm not urging you to follow them and breaking

342
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: the law, making very clear it is illegal to break

343
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: the phone of somebody that you know the police are

344
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: looking for. Because they've been charged with crimes. That is

345
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: a crime. I'm just saying. I think what they did

346
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: was out of love and brave anyway, That's what I

347
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: gotta say.

348
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: Speaking of love, I love these ads. All Right, we

349
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 3: are back.

350
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 4: I am now going to discuss a I believe the

351
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: word is a flurry of executive orders that happened the

352
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 4: past week, because there was a ton This was a

353
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: huge week for actions through through through executive order. We've

354
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 4: tried to summarize a few of these that have like

355
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 4: or a few orders that have come in the past

356
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: few months. But but yeah, definitely the ones that happened

357
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 4: last week are much more notable, and I will.

358
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: Go through them one by one.

359
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: Starting off with an attempt to possibly repeal large sections

360
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: of the Civil Rights Act, Trump side in order to

361
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: quote eliminate the use of disparate impact liability in all

362
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 4: contexts to the maximum degree possible. Disparate impact is a

363
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: legal theory that seeks to address discriminatory policies that, on

364
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 4: their face may appear neutral but actually continue decades old,

365
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 4: like discrimination and segregation. This order from Trump provokes presidential

366
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 4: approval for Title six antidiscrimination regulations from the sixties and seventies,

367
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 4: and orders all agencies to quote deprioritize enforcement of all

368
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 4: statutes and regulations to the extent that they include disparate

369
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: impact liability. The order calls for the Attorney General to

370
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 4: quote initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing

371
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 4: regulations for Title six the Civil Rights Act of nineteen

372
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 4: sixty four. Cabinet members were also instructed to review all

373
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 4: pending investigations, civil suits, consent judgments, permanent injunctions, and government

374
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 4: positions that rely on sparate impact theory. That includes Titles

375
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: seven and eight of the Civil Rights Act, which protects

376
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 4: equal employment and fair housing. This is kind of part

377
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 4: of a larger attack on civil rights in general. Obviously

378
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 4: the past few months you've this with like DEI stuff,

379
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 4: But last week the DOJ essentially closed its existing civil

380
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: rights office, resigned a dozen senior career attorneys, curbed investigations

381
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: into police misconduct and violations of voting and disability rights. Plus,

382
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 4: the Education at Discrimination Division is now being directed to

383
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 4: protect women's sports, and the Immigrant and Employee Rights Division

384
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 4: was told to investigate companies that quote unlawfully discriminate against

385
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: US workers in favor of foreign visa workers unquote. So

386
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 4: that's how they think they're going to be defending civil

387
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: rights is by keeping trans girls out of sports and

388
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: going after foreign visa workers. Basically, they're trying to turn

389
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 4: federal civil rights infrastructure against those whom they were meant

390
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 4: to protect in the first place. The next order kind

391
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: of outlies something I'm calling cop Nation. It's called quote

392
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 4: strengthening and unleashing America's law enforcement to pursue criminals and

393
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: protect innocent civilians. This is kind of like a proto

394
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: martial law order. It's what you would do beforehand to

395
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: strengthen police, but not actually declare martial law. It's setting

396
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 4: kind of the path towards that, or at the very

397
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: least like strengthening law enforcement to the degree to which

398
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: it like butts up against what martial law would be.

399
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: The order calls to.

400
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 4: Quote unleash high impact local police forces, protect and defend

401
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 4: law enforcement officers wrongly accused and abused by state or

402
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 4: local officials, and surge resources to officers in need unquote.

403
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 4: It directs the Attorney General to create a mechanism to

404
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 4: have private sector law firms provide pro bono legal defense

405
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: to police officers who quote unjustly incur expenses and liabilities

406
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: for actions taken during the performance of their official duties

407
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 4: to enforce the law unquote. So this tries to make

408
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 4: it harder for police to be held accountable for a

409
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 4: civil and criminal misconduct, basically extending qualified immunity to the

410
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: criminal realm. According to Business Insider, quote, allowing previous executive

411
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 4: orders to targeting a number of elite firms. Nine law

412
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: firms have agreed to deals with the President and collectively

413
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 4: agreed to provide nine hundred and forty million in pro

414
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 4: bono legal services to support the President's policies. This order

415
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: also calls to use federal resources to increase pay, expand training,

416
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 4: and strengthen legal protections for police officers, as well as

417
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: to quote seek enhanced sentences for crimes against law enforcement officers,

418
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 4: promote investment in the security and capacity of prisons, and

419
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 4: increase the investment in and collection, distribution and uniformity of

420
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 4: crime data across jurisdictions. The Attorney General is directed to

421
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: review and remove any previous accountability restrictions placed on to

422
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 4: local or state law enforcement agencies that might unduly impede

423
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: the performance of law enforcement functions. And then finally, quote,

424
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with

425
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies

426
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and

427
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 4: national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist state and

428
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: local law enforcement and shall determine how military and national

429
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 4: security assets, training, non lethal capabilities, and personnel can most

430
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: effectively be utilized to prevent crime unquote, so moving more

431
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 4: national security resources over to state and local law enforcement,

432
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: and directs the AG to go after state and local

433
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 4: officials that struck to criminal law by quote, prohibiting law

434
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 4: enforcement officers from carrying out duties necessary for public safety

435
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: or unlawfully engage in discrimination or civil rights violations under

436
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 4: the guise of DEI do you want to discuss anything

437
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: with this you know, anti ACAB executive order here and

438
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 4: what it might actually like do in reality besides you know,

439
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 4: expanding like legal protections for cops.

440
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the worrying ones to me is

441
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 5: that they're very explicitly talking about using military national security

442
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 5: assets like in the US against Americans, and the thing

443
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 5: right now we're doing is like to prevent crime. But

444
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 5: like I think very obviously everyone who's like to disny

445
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 5: imediately gone. Like part of this obviously is about like

446
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 5: trying to defeat any attempt to even moderately reform the police,

447
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 5: But a lot of it is also like, yeah, they're

448
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: expecting giant They're expecting giant protests this summer. Yeah, and

449
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: they want to be able to use military assets here.

450
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: And what they're doing with this, the Secretary of Defense

451
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: is developing a plan to use military assets like presumably

452
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 5: against protesters either that or you know what I mean,

453
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 5: Like cecific thing here is like used to prevent crime,

454
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 5: which is just like the deployment of the US military

455
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 5: against like US Right, that's I think a pretty cut

456
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 5: in dry. They are developing the apparatus through which they

457
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 5: are going to attempt to deploy the army against the

458
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 5: US citizens in the US.

459
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 6: Well.

460
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: And it's also specifically like empowers like individual police officers

461
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 4: against any like perceived restrictions that like local or state

462
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: officials might be putting on them.

463
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's what makes it more super

464
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: worrying for me.

465
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 4: It's like it's like enabling like the police state aspect

466
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 4: of like of the of the executive branch saying hey,

467
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 4: like individual cops, we support you more so than whatever

468
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 4: like local jurisdiction you are like under and if if

469
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 4: the local jurisdictions start to restrict your ability to like

470
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 4: to to do violence, restrict your ability to do your job,

471
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: we are going to help you to make sure that

472
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 4: you have the legal and like physical capacity to continue

473
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 4: your job as you see fit.

474
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: We will throw the high dollar lawyers that we have

475
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: threatened into working for us at these states and municipalities.

476
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, both to like defend your individual actions and then

477
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: also go after the people in charge of you, like

478
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: like both of them.

479
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

480
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 5: So it's more like CPD black site shit, like yeah,

481
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 5: Nazi gang shit, like you know them just like shooting people. Yeah,

482
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 5: Like that's the kind of shit.

483
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: The torture, the data sharing, I think is something people

484
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: should be aware of. The like that that seemed to

485
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: be what I would imagine will be funding for more

486
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: federal fusion centers and then equipping them with like homeland

487
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: security assets, intelligence assets that are already used outside the US,

488
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: Like that is concerning especially in a climate of like

489
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: migration crackdown, right, this data sharing will help them further

490
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: target migrants well.

491
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: And this relates to another executive order for protecting American

492
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 4: communities from criminal aliens. Basically, it targets sanctuary cities. The

493
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 4: Attorney General and the DHS Secretary will publish a list

494
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 4: of sanctuary jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration

495
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 4: law and federal funds those districts will be suspended or terminated,

496
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: and if those districts remain sanctuary districts after officials have

497
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 4: been notified of their status, then necessary legal remedies and

498
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: enforcement measures shall be pursued to quote end these violations.

499
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 4: Section one of this order lists several federal criminal laws

500
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: that they say are being violated by these sanctuary districts,

501
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: including quote obstruction of justice, un lawfully harboring or hiring

502
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: illegal aliens, conspiracy against the United States, and conspiracy to

503
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 4: impede federal law enforcement. Assisting aliens in violating federal immigration

504
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 4: law could also violate the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act unquote,

505
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: So they're even repiden rico here for state and local

506
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: officials who are trying to protect immigrants in their communities.

507
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: There's a few other executive orders I want to mention,

508
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 4: including one that requires professional truck drivers speak English. I

509
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 4: think this is actually just to mask the consequences of

510
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: like the tariffs, with with.

511
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: The fact that a lot of truck drivers are losing

512
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: their jobs.

513
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so this is to like hide those layoffs

514
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 4: or trying to force people to get laid off if

515
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 4: they don't speak good enough English, or to like to

516
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 4: create pretext to have these layoffs be justified as we see,

517
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: you know, the shipping industry slowly collapse because of the tariffs.

518
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 4: Another order that's just more frustrating, I guess to me

519
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 4: and like worrying long term about the future is quote

520
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American youth. And I'm actually

521
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: going to play a video here of Trump's signing this order.

522
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 7: This next executive order relates to artificial intelligence education. Sir,

523
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 7: You've obviously done a lot in the artificial intelligence space already.

524
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 7: The basic idea of this executive order is to ensure

525
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 7: that we properly train the workforce of the future by

526
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 7: ensuring that school children, young Americans are adequately trained in

527
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 7: AI tools so that they can be competitive in the

528
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 7: economy years from now into the future. As AI becomes

529
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 7: a bigger and bigger.

530
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 8: Deal, that's a big deal. Here's AI is where it

531
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 8: seems to be at. We have literally trillions of dollars

532
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 8: being invested in AI, and there are somebody today, very

533
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 8: smart person said that AI is the way to the future.

534
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's right or not, but certainly,

535
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 8: very smart people are investing in it heavily.

536
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 4: This clip is super interesting to be because it demonstrates

537
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 4: just how little Trump knows what's really going on. Like

538
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 4: this is the first time he's seen this order. He

539
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 4: has to get explained what it is before he signs

540
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 4: his name on it. They're just handing him these things

541
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 4: and he's just signing papers.

542
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 5: He is.

543
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 4: He is not like dictating which things he actually wants

544
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 4: to happen. He's just its handed stuff and there's cameras on.

545
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: He's like, hey, this is to help AI with kids,

546
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 4: and you're so smart about AI.

547
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 3: Mister President. He's like, yes, I am. As he signs

548
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: his name.

549
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 4: The actual text disorder is really freaky.

550
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: Quote.

551
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 4: By fostering AI competency, we will equip our students with

552
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to adapt and thrive

553
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: in an increasing digital society. Early learning and exposure to

554
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 4: AI concepts not only demestifies this powerful technology, but also

555
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: sparks curiosity and creativity, preparing students to become active and

556
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: responsible participants in the workforce of the future. To achieve

557
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 4: this vision, we must also invest in our educators and

558
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 4: equip them with the tools and knowledge to not only

559
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: train students about AI, but also to utilize AI in

560
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 4: their classrooms to improve educational outcomes. Unquote James, how do

561
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: you feel about that? As an educator yourself?

562
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: Probably fifty percent of my time in the classroom right

563
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: now is trying to explain to people where they shouldn't

564
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: copy paste the assignment into chat GPT, and like every

565
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: year for the past three or four years, we have

566
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: dealt with like bots, like students in my class who

567
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: are not real people. I've dealt with more and more

568
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: and more use of AI. It's from people who I think,

569
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: like the folks who are coming through my classroom now,

570
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: like many of their like high school years when they

571
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: should have been getting good solid like writing tuition work

572
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: during COVID lockdowns, right and so like, I'm not entirely

573
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: blaming like the folks coming through my class here, but.

574
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 4: It is it's a fuck situation that's only getting worse.

575
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: It's fucked. It's like I've been educating people for nearly

576
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: two decades and like I've never come across anything this bad.

577
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: It is fundamentally damaging people's engagement with education and their

578
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: ability to learn.

579
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: It's giving them permanent brain damage. It is life altering

580
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: their ability to think in a way that may never

581
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: be recoverable for a lot of people.

582
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I don't want to be a boomer.

583
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: Like, there's data on this, the AI companies have, Microsoft

584
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: has data on this.

585
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: It damages people. It needs to be finding good solutions

586
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: for that. Writing assignments AI can't write like it's not

587
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: that hard before people come into my mentions, right saying like, oh,

588
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: you can use this to detect AI. I can detect

589
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: it because the assignments it submits a shit. The problem

590
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: is that people keep using it, like because it's Roberts

591
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: said that they're running out of other options, right.

592
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: And they're like really committing to this. The end of

593
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 4: the order directs the Secretary of Education to provide grant

594
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 4: funding to quote improve educational outcomes using AI, including but

595
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: not limited to AI based high quality instructional resources, high

596
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 4: impact tutoring, and college and career pathway exploration, advising and

597
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 4: navigation unquote.

598
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, sadly like these federal and to extend

599
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: state level too, like dictats, I guess do impact what

600
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: you're supposed to put on your syllabus, right, Like especially

601
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: for like high school students, these can genuinely impact act

602
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: what what high school teachers are supposed to teach. It

603
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: changes a little bit like once you get to the

604
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: university level. And I guess we'll we'll see how this goes.

605
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: But like this, this genuinely could have a very damaging

606
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: impact on and it already has had a damaging impact

607
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: on the US education system.

608
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have one more thing I want to read here.

609
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 4: This is actually a presidential memorandum, uh, not an executive order,

610
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 4: but this caused to investigate Democrat and grassroots funding platform

611
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 4: Act Blue, a legend quote schemes to launder excessive and

612
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 4: prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees unquote.

613
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: Actlue has been the target.

614
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 4: Of conspiracy theories for years, starting with James O'Keeffe and

615
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: Elon Musk has recently targeted Act Blue with with bizarre

616
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 4: conspiracy theories on how Act Blue functions and is used

617
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 4: to funnel money to like Antifa and and uh, you know,

618
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 4: George Soros money getting getting moved over to all of

619
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: these you know, Tesla Vandal's crazy stuff. But specifically, Trump

620
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: is calling the Atturner and Treasury Secretary to quote investigate

621
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to

622
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 4: make straw or dummy contributions or foreign contributions to political

623
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 4: candidates and committees, and to take appropriate action to enforce

624
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: the law unquote. I think this whole thing beyond trying

625
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: to you know, harm the Democrats' ability to like win

626
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 4: elections in the future as a form of collection meddling

627
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: is also just like a spig smoke screen away from

628
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: a CNN investigation last year into deceptive practices used by

629
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: political fundraising platforms Win Red and Act Blue, which found

630
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 4: that the Republican platform had more than seven times the

631
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 4: fraud complaints sent to the FCC, then Act Blue during

632
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 4: the period of twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four,

633
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: with the fundraising platform targeting aging seniors who thought they

634
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 4: were personal friends of the Trump family with propaganda and

635
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 4: emails that tricked them into slanning up for recurring donations

636
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 4: and what they thought was a personal correspondence to President Trump.

637
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: It's a really worrying investigation. It'll be linked below. And like,

638
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 4: you know, meanwhile, you have el On Musk literally offering

639
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: people millions of dollars to like get people to sign

640
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: up to vote and sign petitions, and and yet they're

641
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 4: gonna try to try to investigate, you know, fraud in

642
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: Democrat and grassroots fundraising, which I'm sure there is a

643
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 4: little bit of, but according to this investigation by see

644
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: an End, so much more fraud on the on the

645
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 4: on the Republican fundraising platform.

646
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 5: You know, there is actually one Democrat who we can

647
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 5: verifiably claim did a bunch of weird fundraising ship and

648
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 5: did straw donations from foreign donors. And it is Eric Adams,

649
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 5: who is Trump's favorite Democrat. Trump is personally keeping out

650
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 5: of prison. Oh god past.

651
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: Anyway, that is the that's the flurry. We're gonna go

652
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: on one more break and then come back to close

653
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: out on some immigration and tariff updates.

654
00:33:48,680 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 9: Hell yeah, we're back.

655
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: And wait, what's that? Do you hear the dulcet tones

656
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: of an angel?

657
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: Sorry rocky jazz rockety jazz bot sorry locking.

658
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 9: Rocking jazz rocky jazz bo.

659
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get to the rest of the Clash catalog.

660
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: We got four years. Yes, yes, I'm really looking for

661
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: Secrating the Temple. We're working on a.

662
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: Cover of Lost in the Supermarket where there's just nothing

663
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: in the supermarket because of the terriffs. It's actually very

664
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 2: easy to find my way around in the supermarket now

665
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: because there's nothing on sale.

666
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 5: All Right, what's actually happening with with the turf tariffs.

667
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm just gonna start by reading Trump's incredible

668
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 5: cope about why everything's going to ship. This is Trump,

669
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 5: This is a truth from true social This is Biden's

670
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 5: stock market, not Trumps. I didn't take over until January twentieth.

671
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 5: Terrorists will start kicking in. We soon start kicking in,

672
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 5: and companies are starting to move to the US and

673
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 5: record numbers. Our country will boom, but we have to

674
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 5: get rid of the Biden quote overhang. This will take

675
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 5: a while, has nothing to do with the tariffs all caps,

676
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 5: only that he left us with bad numbers. But when

677
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 5: the boom begins, it will be like no other.

678
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: Be patient.

679
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 4: This is Biden's stock market.

680
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 9: Yeah.

681
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 5: So the reason he's saying this is that so today

682
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 5: we got a report that the US for the first

683
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 5: quarter suffered the first like actual economic contraction of the

684
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 5: economy since like twenty twenty two, and that basically there

685
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 5: was like one quarter in twenty twenty two, we're contracted.

686
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 5: And then it like basically since like the lockdowns, it's

687
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 5: been expanding, we are probably already in the recession. And

688
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 5: the other thing there was bec us very important to

689
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 5: note here, right is you're seeing a lot of reporting

690
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 5: about this being a contraction, and a lot of the

691
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 5: reporting will talk about how like, yeah, now, this is

692
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 5: because people are like rushing to do their all their

693
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 5: imports right now before the tariff's hit. The thing is, right,

694
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 5: this economic contraction is like before the actual substantive impact

695
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 5: of the tariff's hit. So this is just the beginning

696
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 5: of like the rolling economic collapse, and all of these

697
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 5: surf tariffs are going to generate. There's been a little

698
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 5: bit of movement in the sense that like, okay, so

699
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 5: when I last talked about sort of the declines in

700
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 5: like shipping from China or just shipping in general, it

701
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 5: was mostly like sort of I don't know what you'd

702
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 5: call them, chipping, industry, trade press. This has hit like

703
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 5: the mainstream press now that you know, and some of

704
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 5: these indicators are doing sixty percent import drops from China,

705
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 5: and it looks like China is maybe kind of starting

706
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 5: the preliminary things to figure out how to figure out negotiations,

707
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 5: and that they've been the Chinese government has been going

708
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: behind the scenes and talking to a bunch of like

709
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 5: high profile American companies and has been like quietly repealing

710
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 5: some of there one hundred and twenty five percent retaliatory

711
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 5: tariffs in the US on like very specific goods. We'll

712
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 5: see what happens there. There hasn't been more movement than that.

713
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 5: What is also very interesting is that so okay, so

714
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 5: like obviously like a bunch of prices are just increasing

715
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 5: already in places like like Temu and like Shean and

716
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 5: Amazon was going to have like a counter that showed

717
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 5: how much additional money you were spending because of the tariffs.

718
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 5: And they announced that they were going to do this,

719
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 5: and then President Trump like got on the phone with

720
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 5: Jeff Bezos and yelled at him, and then Jeff Bezos

721
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 5: said he wasn't going to do it. But this is

722
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 5: also an interesting thing because we're actually starting to see

723
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 5: cracks between Trump and like people like Besis, like the

724
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 5: tech people who really have been his like closest basis

725
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 5: support right for like for this whole the entire project

726
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 5: in terms of like sect like large scale sectors of capital.

727
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 5: It's been these people who've been backing him, and I

728
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 5: think as as the stuff continues, we're going to continue

729
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 5: to see rifts between them that administration over shit like

730
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 5: this because you know, like people get really really It's

731
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 5: something we've talked about a lot in episodes we've done

732
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 5: on pricing and inflation, is that people get really pissed

733
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 5: off and prices go up, and that's a way to like,

734
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 5: you know, this is a problem for these companies because

735
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 5: this is the way you lose sort of brand loyalty,

736
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 5: and that's like how everything goes to shit. And Trump

737
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 5: has to is doing all these deflections to be like

738
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 5: it's not actually the terrorists that are doing this, because

739
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 5: people are gonna be really pissed about this, and yeah,

740
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, welcome, Welcome to quarter one of the recession.

741
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 5: This is going to be the best quarter of the

742
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 5: economy for a long time.

743
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, tariff talk, Okay, so it's closed out with immigration update,

744
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna run a few speed run a few

745
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: of these and we'll get a bill deeper into some

746
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: of them. The New York Times is reporting that once

747
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: again the Trump administration is separating has separated a child

748
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: from their parents.

749
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 5: Jesus Fucking Christ yep.

750
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: A federal court denied the government's motion to dismiss a

751
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: First Amendment challenge to its policy of deport in pro

752
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: Palestine anti genocide activists. So that allows the case to

753
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: go ahead. Right, So it allows a First Amendment challenge

754
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: to be mounted, which is a good thing, right given

755
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: that this is their policy right now is a frontal

756
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: assault on the First Amendment for people who are not citizens.

757
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: In the Abrego Garcia case, both sides agreed to a

758
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: seven day pause in the discovery process after the passing

759
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: of sealed motions. Then on Tuesday, Tuesday this week, the

760
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: DOJ filed another sealed motion. We can speculate, and you

761
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: will see people speculating if you go onto the Blue

762
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: Skuy or Twitter or whatever. I don't think it's beneficial

763
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: to do that in this case. Right what we should

764
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: be focusing on is that a man is in a

765
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: prison camp who did nothing wrong. It doesn't matter that

766
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: justice system is continuing to fail him, because he is

767
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: still there and so are hundreds of other people. The

768
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: Experimental Quote National Defense Area, New Mexico. So we spoke

769
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: last week about the Roosevelt Reservation, right, And they are

770
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: starting this militarization of the Roosevelt Reservation with an area

771
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: in New Mexico. And we've seen the first charges that

772
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: are filed against migrants. According to Washington Post, at least

773
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight people have been charged or added to their

774
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: charges a penalty for violation of security regulations in addition

775
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: to their make charge with the entry without inspection right.

776
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: Hegxeth visited the area this week, and he talked about

777
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: how they were going to post signage in English and

778
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: Spanish to indicating that crossing the area would be trespassing

779
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: on US military property. Increasing numbers of migrants over the

780
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: last few years have not spoken either of those languages.

781
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem to be something they've accounted for here.

782
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: The US Attorney for New Mexico allegedly, according to the

783
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: Post quote, can't wait to begin charging people who cross.

784
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: So that's great. And so it does seem that they

785
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: are using this, as we talked about a week or

786
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: so ago, as a way to quickly charge and then

787
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: deport people who are entering the United States between ports

788
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: of entry and other court news. A judge in Colorado

789
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: places attentative Training Order on the use of the Alien

790
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: Enemies Act there without twenty one days of notice in

791
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: a language of person understands advising them of their right

792
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: to bring a Habeast challenge. So that means if someone

793
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: is going to be removed under the AEA, they have

794
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: to get three weeks of notice, and that notice has

795
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: to advise them that they have the right to bring

796
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: a challenge. And then as opposed to what they're doing

797
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: right now, which is deporting people extremely quickly. Right and

798
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: this was upheld by the Tenth Circuit, so that's in

799
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: place there. It'll be interesting to see how many of

800
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: them are able to bring. Still, bringing a Habeast challenges complicated.

801
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: It could be expensive and requires a lot of legal time,

802
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: and I know most lawyers who work in immigration are overwhelmed. Currently, Yes,

803
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: in California, a judge has ruled that CBP can't carry

804
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: out warrantless stops and arrests after the ACLU filed a

805
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: suit in response to the CBP sector's operation returned to Cender,

806
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: which happened in late twenty twenty four. So people, this

807
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: is one of the things that people may have already

808
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: forgotten about. But in December of twenty twenty four, CBP

809
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: started detaining residents, migrants, laborers outside of home depot, a

810
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: grocery store, and at road checkpoints up in California Central Valley. Right,

811
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: people are thinking, oh, the Central Valley is a very

812
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: long way from El Centro, what are they doing up there.

813
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: I've included a map of border patrol sectors in the

814
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: sources today so people can see. But although the El

815
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: Centro sector only spans seventy one miles of linear border,

816
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: it goes a lot further north. So that's what they

817
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: were doing up there. The judge in this case, who

818
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: is US District Court judge Jennifer Thurston, said, quote, you

819
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: just can't walk up to people with brown skin and

820
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: say give me your papers. There's some very good reporting

821
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: on this in cow Matters, which I've also linked in

822
00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: the sources today. Notably, I looked through the order to day,

823
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: the core order, and one of the things we get

824
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: is kind of a vision into how Border patrol is

825
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: expediting these deportations. Right, So I'm going to quote from

826
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: that order here. Quote once Border patrol agents transported the

827
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: people they're rested to the El Centro station, they would

828
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: quote extract voluntary departure agreements from as many people as

829
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: possible without explaining the consequences. And this is all that.

830
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: This is the plaintiff's contention, which is aclu Right. So

831
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: we've seen this a lot, right, Like we saw it

832
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: in the case when they detained a citizen in Tucson

833
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: not so long ago. That they're trying to get people

834
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: to sign these documents. Sometimes you're not actually in most cases,

835
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 1: I believe you're not actually signing a physical document. You're

836
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: signing one of those little pressure pad screens and you

837
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: might be given an iPad to read the document on,

838
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: but you don't get a chance to look and flick

839
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: through the document and then sign it. Left, sign a

840
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: physical copy of the document. Right. The injunction that happened

841
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: here only applies in the Eastern District of California. The

842
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: judge also ordered Border Patrol to record all arrests and

843
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: stops and report them within forty days. The government argued

844
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: this would be too burdensome, which is odd because they're

845
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: already required to do paperwork when they're arrest or stop someone, right,

846
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: But that was a rule by the judge. Despite this,

847
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: so the our central sector has still been carrying out

848
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: operations way north of land border, including recently outside a

849
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: home depot in Pomona. So this is CBP, not ICE, right,

850
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: people that are familiar with that distinction, but at least

851
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 1: in the Eastern district, they can't be stopping people now

852
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: without warrants. That's a good thing from the courts. I

853
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: guess those are. I know we've got a long episode today.

854
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: Those are the most important immigration things that I've come

855
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: up with this week. I'm sure something will happen between

856
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: us recording this coming out, but yeah, that's what I've

857
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: got for you.

858
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 4: The last thing that we'll mention is that Mosen Modowi,

859
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 4: the US screen cardholder who was arrested by ICE at

860
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 4: his citizenship interview, has been released from ICE custody as

861
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 4: of April thirtieth, i order of a Vermont judge. This

862
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 4: is really the first piece of good news we've had

863
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 4: in relation to Trump's crackdown on Palestinian protesters and student protests. So, yeah,

864
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 4: Madowi's case will still continue, but you will not be

865
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 4: in ICE custody for the duration of this case.

866
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: And I think we saw in the Mapood Khalil case,

867
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: the judge has ordered that New Jersey is a correct

868
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: jurisdiction for that case to proceed, So that offers a

869
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: possibility of saying that it's essentially the same charge that

870
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: both of them have right or the same reasoning for

871
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: trying to remove them, so hopefully we will see a

872
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: similar result there.

873
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 4: We'll be following up on both these stories as they progress.

874
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 4: But that does it for us today. Here at it
