Speaker 1: Colson Media.
Speaker 2: I will get way too mad if I talk about
Speaker 2: the DNC anymore. In this preamble, this is it could
Speaker 2: happen here Executive Disorder, our weekly newscast covering what's happening
Speaker 2: in the White House, the crumbling world, and what it
Speaker 2: means for you. I'm Garrison Davis today. I'm joined by
Speaker 2: James Stout, Mia Wong, and Robert Evans. Right, everybody, this episode,
Speaker 2: we are covering the week of May eighth through May fifteenth.
Speaker 2: Trump gets bribed by cutter, Stephen Miller wants to suspend
Speaker 2: Habeas Corpus, and a twitch streamer gets interrogated at the border.
Speaker 2: How are we doing, fellas?
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know. Bad, Like every time.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking to border patrol willingly and ye, that's
Speaker 2: what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: And I'm not doing I'm staying the fuck away from
Speaker 1: the border, although it's also impossible to stay the fuck
Speaker 1: away from the border because like ninety percent of the
Speaker 1: country lives technically within a hundred mine the border patrols
Speaker 1: from met Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you are happening to go to the
Speaker 2: border and you do get stopped by law enforcement, you
Speaker 2: should not talk to them. You should you should say
Speaker 2: that you're staying silent and will only speak with a lawyer.
Speaker 1: You have certain things that you have to say, right
Speaker 1: if they decide to talk to you about something other
Speaker 1: than you know, here's my passport, et cetera. Do I
Speaker 1: have anything to declare? Which you do have to answer
Speaker 1: if they attempt to engage you in other conversation about, say,
Speaker 1: your political beliefs. All you have to say is am
Speaker 1: I being detained? And if they say yes, you say,
Speaker 1: I plead the fifth and I demand to speak to
Speaker 1: a lawyer, and then nothing else. There's nothing else you say.
Speaker 1: That's how you should handle this situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you definitely do not need to debate your politics.
Speaker 3: Not required with the border patrol.
Speaker 4: Tell them how you feel about Potestine. That's yeah, not
Speaker 4: gonna end well.
Speaker 1: No, not necessary, and yeah, like it's one of those
Speaker 1: things I have no desire to, like get into an
Speaker 1: online beef with the fellow who got stopped. He is
Speaker 1: a big boy and able to make his own choices.
Speaker 1: But I do not recommend you make those same choices,
Speaker 1: because there's no actual benefit to you in doing that.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, don't coalk the cops. It's very easy
Speaker 3: to not talk to the cops. I'm doing it right now.
Speaker 5: Uh huh, that's what you think trivially easy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's simple and unnecessary, and it's just
Speaker 1: like largely the problem is that And this is even
Speaker 1: something that he talked about where like, well, the guy
Speaker 1: seemed really nice and he apologetic and like he didn't
Speaker 1: want to have to do this. And if you're having
Speaker 1: a conversation like that with them, then they're getting what
Speaker 1: they want out of it, which is for you to
Speaker 1: feel like that right, for you to feel like, oh, Okay,
Speaker 1: this guy's this guy's nice, I can chat with him
Speaker 1: for a little while you feel to talk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, that's their entire job. That's what they're trying
Speaker 2: to get you to do. Yeah, And again, like this
Speaker 2: is this is specifically if you are like a US
Speaker 2: citizen coming to read to the country. There's there's different
Speaker 2: different rules and different different suggestions which you should talk
Speaker 2: with an immigration lawyer about if you were not a
Speaker 2: US citizen.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, not advice for people who are coming here
Speaker 1: and not citizens.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, none of this is.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you really really do not need to get
Speaker 2: into a debate with the border guard about your politics
Speaker 2: when you're trying to enter the country.
Speaker 5: Or any other time really just just.
Speaker 3: Really any time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no point in time in which that's useful
Speaker 1: to you or anyone else.
Speaker 5: You ain't changing doing it.
Speaker 1: Maybe do it.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's more to politics than debate. No, speaking of
Speaker 2: more to politics, the PKK, what's going on with the
Speaker 2: PKK fellas.
Speaker 1: We should, we should give a brief overview of who
Speaker 1: the PKK is. The PKK is the Kurtish Workers Party,
Speaker 1: and it is originally a Maoist and now not that
Speaker 1: terrorist group. That's legally how it's defined by the United
Speaker 1: States and by most Western countries. That was started in
Speaker 1: southern Turkey like in the late seventies, close to fifty
Speaker 1: years ago, and it started out as a rather different
Speaker 1: kind of organization than it is. It's one of its
Speaker 1: founders and generally the guy referred to as its founder
Speaker 1: as a dude named of the la Aujalon or Oppo
Speaker 1: who got captioned Kenya a few decades back and has
Speaker 1: been in a Turkish prison ever since, but does continue
Speaker 1: to like write stuff that informs because there's kind of
Speaker 1: this strong Maoist core at the heart of the foundation
Speaker 1: of the party continues to have a lot of influence
Speaker 1: over it. And this is the root of kind of
Speaker 1: the different organizations that sprung out and became what we
Speaker 1: call Rajava. Is this this group that kind of came
Speaker 1: in during Isis's invasion and you know, had changed significantly
Speaker 1: from its MAOIs roots at that point, and kind of
Speaker 1: from the PKK, we get the YPG and the YPJ
Speaker 1: and you know these different social and militant move movements
Speaker 1: in Northeast Syria.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Yeah, they would dispute the from the PKK, they
Speaker 4: sure would, yes, Roberts for a good legal reason. Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: but they're all inspired by the political thought of oyser Land,
Speaker 4: right like we can say that safely and Ouscherland. I
Speaker 4: guess addressed by video the twelfth Congress of the PKK
Speaker 4: which occurred earlier this month, at which they voted to
Speaker 4: disband themselves and lay down their arms. So that's the
Speaker 4: they had a meeting, right they get together. Obviously it
Speaker 4: seems that Turkey decided not to air strike that meeting.
Speaker 4: Turkey has been carrying out strikes against the PKK in
Speaker 4: three different countries for decades, and sort of small arms
Speaker 4: engagements as well, and artillery in the whole nine yards.
Speaker 4: So yeah, at that conference, they decided to lay down
Speaker 4: their arms and begin disbanding themselves and return to They're
Speaker 4: still pursuing their struggle, I guess, for freedom for Kedistan.
Speaker 5: But this time through the democratic process.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to cover this subject in more detail
Speaker 1: on Tuesday next Tuesday. But suffice it to say, like,
Speaker 1: this does not mean that like the PKK is like
Speaker 1: that all of the kind of different movements that came
Speaker 1: out of and were inspired by the PKK are like
Speaker 1: folding up and setting up shop. This is more of
Speaker 1: a pragmatic decision made as the result of the changes
Speaker 1: of situations on the ground and the progress that a
Speaker 1: number of these other movements have made. And yeah, this
Speaker 1: is worthy of deeper discussion. We'll give a deeper discussion.
Speaker 1: But this is something that's going to hopefully at least
Speaker 1: mean that Turkey spends less time bombing nor than Iraq,
Speaker 1: although that it may be foolish to hope too much
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you love to bomb an Iraq?
Speaker 4: I guess they're calling it there like good Friday moments
Speaker 4: of people who are familiar with the Irish situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when the Ira was like, maybe we've done enough.
Speaker 4: And significantly when there were releases of people who were incarcerated.
Speaker 1: Right, right, And the British government did make some significant
Speaker 1: concessions too.
Speaker 4: Yes, so we will learn more of there were concessions
Speaker 4: involved in this process or if it was a kind
Speaker 4: of unilateral thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of rumors again, just to go briefly,
Speaker 1: that the Turkish government essentially needs that aired one essentially
Speaker 1: needs some of the support of the Kurdish parties in
Speaker 1: order to maintain keep doing Erdawan shit. So again, we'll
Speaker 1: see on all that. Yep.
Speaker 3: Speaking of not blowing each other up India and Pakistan.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, slightly blowing, lightly blowing each other up. Can
Speaker 1: we say that without minimizing it.
Speaker 5: Because yeah, there's some fens blowing up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's let's talk about this. We are thankfully
Speaker 3: no longer on nuclear war watch. Yeah, which is great.
Speaker 1: Put on pause, it's all cool, everything's fine.
Speaker 2: I was talking with a friend last night about whenever
Speaker 2: this sort of confrontation happens. One of the nice things
Speaker 2: about a globalist world order is that if the rest
Speaker 2: of the world goes whoa.
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, come on now, it kind
Speaker 3: of works.
Speaker 1: Pull them back, hold me back. China got a hand
Speaker 1: on Pakistans chess. It's not worth it. They're not worth it.
Speaker 4: That's the role of the United Nations, jade E Vance,
Speaker 4: like massaging India's shoulders.
Speaker 1: I know, man, I know, but it's whatever.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 2: Things get really spicy between two equal powers if one
Speaker 2: of their buddies just can go, hey, hey dude, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2: It kind of works, which is a little bit silly,
Speaker 2: but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Just remind everyone in charge. Do you know how rich
Speaker 1: you are? Come on, you don't want this, Like you've
Speaker 1: got hot tubs in your mansion. It ain't worth it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Politics, so much of it is just so unbelievably stupid,
Speaker 3: Like it is just like weird nationalist masculinity bullshit, where
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, so we killed some of your your people,
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna kill some of our people, and
Speaker 3: then we can both agree that we like retaliated, neither
Speaker 3: of us back down, and then we'll do a ceasefire.
Speaker 3: So the good news here is that we did actually
Speaker 3: get a ceasefire. The ceasefire was holding, and it's continued
Speaker 3: to hold. This is not like a kind of like
Speaker 3: Israel Palace and ceasefire where the Israelis immediately just start
Speaker 3: like shooting everyone an instant later. This is actually holding.
Speaker 3: It's good. It will probably continue to hold. We got
Speaker 3: some more details from Reuters who talked to a bunch
Speaker 3: of officials from different camps. But we know now we're
Speaker 3: gonna do a longer episode about this next week. Tuesday, Yeah,
Speaker 3: all the wars on Tuesday. Probably Tuesday, unless like I
Speaker 3: don't know, like some other shit happens. Who knows. I
Speaker 3: don't want to ever promise an episode's going out of
Speaker 3: a day because.
Speaker 2: Tuesday, Tuesday or Wednesday, because it's like like we could
Speaker 2: we could wake up to life.
Speaker 3: Trump is likely Trump has like declared that like his
Speaker 3: meme coin is now the official currency of the United
Speaker 3: States or something like who knows what you say our Wednesday,
Speaker 3: we'll say, yeah, yeah. So what used to have happened
Speaker 3: that really escalated everything is that India fired on a
Speaker 3: critical Pakistani air base and Pakistan was like, all right,
Speaker 3: gotta go fucking Siico mode now, and so they do
Speaker 3: their retaliation. India appears to not have understood exactly how
Speaker 3: pissed off Pakistan was going to be about them hitting
Speaker 3: this air base, which also, like you would I don't
Speaker 3: know what their military planning is, like you would assume.
Speaker 1: The trees normally love it when you hit their air bases. Yeah,
Speaker 1: whenever one ran at Area fifty one, Yeah, like what.
Speaker 3: Are we doing here? What are we doing here? But
Speaker 3: the thing that does seem to have worked is that
Speaker 3: Mark or Rubio seems to have actually been like able
Speaker 3: to kind of pass information along between the advance was
Speaker 3: also sort of involved. It seemed mostly like Rubio was
Speaker 3: able to pass a thing to the Pakistani government being like, hey,
Speaker 3: the Indians are gonna star up, and the Pakistani government
Speaker 3: was like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right right, but this is getting done. We did
Speaker 1: our retaliatory attacks, like we fucked up a bunch of
Speaker 1: expensive jets. Like that is key is that everybody can
Speaker 1: sort of this didn't go on so far that that
Speaker 1: like everyone has a lot to avenge, and it went
Speaker 1: on enough that everybody can claim some wins. Pakistan could
Speaker 1: be like, we really did some damage to India's best
Speaker 1: chunk of their air force, and India can be like,
Speaker 1: we blew up some stuff. You know, everybody's got if
Speaker 1: you if you don't have enough information to know that,
Speaker 1: like nobody really won. You can pretend you did, right,
Speaker 1: And that's what both of them are doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think this was this what you were
Speaker 3: talking about this last week, like that the best case
Speaker 3: scenario for this is actually I kind of better than
Speaker 3: the best case scenario was thinking of. I mean not
Speaker 3: this is like none of this is a good outcome,
Speaker 3: but the outcome here of like it's like a very
Speaker 3: abbreviated version of like in Israel or Ron thing where
Speaker 3: they shooting each other a few times and then stop.
Speaker 3: Hopefully this will continue to hold, and hopefully both sides
Speaker 3: will not take this. And this is something that they
Speaker 3: were talking about. One of the experts that we're just
Speaker 3: talking to were talking about was like, hopefully both sides
Speaker 3: don't see this as a like, oh we can have
Speaker 3: conflict between two nuclear empowers. It'll be okay. Hopefully both
Speaker 3: sides are going to be like this was very dumb,
Speaker 3: but right now it seems to be over. The ceasefires holding.
Speaker 3: Hopefully more people don't die.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the dessaults dunk price though that that took a
Speaker 4: foul after all this rafiles shut down, that's kind of funny.
Speaker 3: You know what else is funny? Hopefully rus ads.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this podcast nice one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why they pay me the beautocre bucks.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Well back to something ed. If you have ed,
Speaker 1: please consider him zinta Cutter, I hardly Okay, no, no, Garrison,
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you, buddy. That was the right
Speaker 1: thing to say. That was the right thing to say.
Speaker 2: Ahead of Trump's plant trip to the Middle East, Cutter
Speaker 2: has offered a gift to President Trump, a four hundred
Speaker 2: million dollar Boeing seven forty seven eight luxury jet known
Speaker 2: as a Palace in the sky, which Trump does plan
Speaker 2: to accept.
Speaker 1: Which a stupid fucking plane.
Speaker 3: You gotta look up a picture of this thing.
Speaker 1: It is absurd, And I gotta say, honestly, my primary thoughts,
Speaker 1: I know they should be like offence and anger, but
Speaker 1: most they're mostly Ah Cutter, you know the assignment. You
Speaker 1: knew exactly. This man can't turn down a luxury palace plane.
Speaker 3: Of course not.
Speaker 1: Someone should off from the fucking snow piercer.
Speaker 5: You know, it's all gold up in there.
Speaker 3: It is. It is all gold up in there. Actually,
Speaker 3: you can look it up.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 4: No. I don't need to Garrison in my in my
Speaker 4: mind palace, I've already seen him.
Speaker 5: Okay, hit me with the link.
Speaker 3: Why did we allow this to be constructed?
Speaker 1: Because it's it's one of those things. This is not
Speaker 1: this is like again, should it not be legal for
Speaker 1: Trump to do this? Is it not legal for Trump
Speaker 1: to do this? Of course? Is it physically possible for
Speaker 1: the man Donald Trump to say no to this plane? Now?
Speaker 3: No, that never was in the carts. This, this is
Speaker 3: a temple to the defeat of the International Workers Movement.
Speaker 4: Jesus, I want to see a pictures of this plane.
Speaker 5: Someone send me pictures.
Speaker 4: Of the plane.
Speaker 3: Oh man, oh, oh good lord, oh good lord. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm putting.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's exactly the plane you'd think.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, it's the most trump thing you could ever imagine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 3: I'm so angry. It's it's just Trump tower in the sky,
Speaker 3: like you.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's actually what I will say about that,
Speaker 1: here is a Trump tower in the sky. Is like
Speaker 1: a shit built to look fancy to like tasteless Americans.
Speaker 1: The Katari versions actually is actually extremely nice. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: the immorant of Qatar knows what they're fucking doing when
Speaker 1: it comes to interior design for fucking evil rich people.
Speaker 1: This you could have had this if you replace the
Speaker 1: walls that are clearly a plane. This could have been
Speaker 1: like a set on and or from like a high
Speaker 1: level coruscant like the person's house, Like that's that's what
Speaker 1: we're talking. Especially that like room with the elevator in
Speaker 1: the middle, Like that's a set where mon Mathma yells
Speaker 1: at her husband like it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: So this plane would be used as a new air
Speaker 2: Force one and after his term, Trump would retain ownership
Speaker 2: through his Presidential Library Foundation.
Speaker 1: Of course that's normals.
Speaker 2: So many issues with this, from like national security to
Speaker 2: like a very clear bribe. On Monday, Trump told reporters quote,
Speaker 2: I could be a stupid person and say no, we
Speaker 2: don't want to free very expensive airplane.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a great gesture.
Speaker 1: Unquote. Of course, of course what owned So what made
Speaker 1: a comment that like we received the Statue of Liberty
Speaker 1: as a gift the same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not really the same thing.
Speaker 4: Guy, If like it was Jeff, I don't know who
Speaker 4: is president went arrive, but if the president was living
Speaker 4: inside the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 1: Chester, I think it was Chester ar for there. Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly.
Speaker 3: I do also love that Trump isn't making the same
Speaker 3: argument that like the old that Clinton supporters used to,
Speaker 3: which is like, well you can take money from a
Speaker 3: thing without being influenced by it, and like the New
Speaker 3: York Times is making this argument. They're like, well, just
Speaker 3: because people are spending one million dollars to have dinner
Speaker 3: at a crypto thing with Trump does mean that he's
Speaker 3: actually been influenced by the money, so you can't call
Speaker 3: it bribery. And I was like, this is great society.
Speaker 3: We love this, we love this. Just give him, give
Speaker 3: give the president the fancy.
Speaker 1: Quentin pro what.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to be fair, Trump does have something of a
Speaker 4: history of entering into a financial contract with people and
Speaker 4: then totally abandoning his end of it.
Speaker 5: So could you could make that up?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so bad Trump.
Speaker 2: They get into an argument with with ABC anchors when
Speaker 2: they asked him if he thought this could be seen
Speaker 2: as a bribe.
Speaker 3: I'll play a short clip here.
Speaker 2: Why are you saying people who view that luxury jet
Speaker 2: as a personal would get to you?
Speaker 1: Why not leave it your NBC fake news? Why it's
Speaker 1: only only ABC.
Speaker 3: Well a few of you would, let me tell you,
Speaker 3: you should be embarrassed to ask him the question.
Speaker 1: They're giving us a free jet.
Speaker 3: I could say, no, no, no, don't give us.
Speaker 6: I want to pay you a billion or four hundred
Speaker 6: million or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: Or I could say thank you very much.
Speaker 1: You know those are all golfer named Sam Great Golf.
Speaker 2: After that, he goes on to talk about golf for
Speaker 2: a whole minute, building an analogy based on making an
Speaker 2: easy putt on a golf course. I'm gonna quote from
Speaker 2: BBC quote. Attorney General Pambondi reportedly investigated the legality of
Speaker 2: the deal and determined that because there are no explicit
Speaker 2: conditions attached, it would not amount to a bribe. Conservatives
Speaker 2: and others were quick to point out that Bondi was
Speaker 2: registered as a lobbyist for Cutter prior to joining Trump's cabinet,
Speaker 2: at some point earning up to one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 3: For her work for the Qatari government.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, one's going to be like influenced by a
Speaker 1: mere one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars a month. You couldn't,
Speaker 1: for example, much money and get me to say everyone
Speaker 1: should buy a Chevy truck, the new Ram, that's the
Speaker 1: vehicle of the proletariat Ram.
Speaker 2: We know that this is fake because Robert would never
Speaker 2: knowing endorse a Chevy product.
Speaker 1: He sent for one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars. Do
Speaker 1: you think I wouldn't sell Chevys?
Speaker 2: But this is the most like corrupt administration we've ever
Speaker 2: seen before. It's absurd, like just completely like flying it
Speaker 2: in your face. Even ten Cruz said that this gift
Speaker 2: could could impose quote significant espionage and surveillance problems unquote, because.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that plane is gonna be so fun for the Oh.
Speaker 1: My god, how they're just the whole plane.
Speaker 3: It's just it's a flying bugs. It's so funny.
Speaker 2: Our government they're gonna listen in to every Air Force
Speaker 2: one meeting.
Speaker 1: Not only are they going to listen into it, the
Speaker 1: guy whose job that is like they've already been paying
Speaker 1: almost as much as the plane costs for him to
Speaker 1: get preemptive therapy to sit and listen to that many
Speaker 1: Trump inner circle conversations. The fucking Emrror himself is putting
Speaker 1: a hand. I know, man, I know it's gonna be hard,
Speaker 1: like we're all back, We're all behind you.
Speaker 2: Everyone from like Ben Shapiro to Laura Lumer have have
Speaker 2: opposed this de facto bribe as quote unquote sleazy, while
Speaker 2: also pointing to Cutter as a terrorist aligned state.
Speaker 1: Didn't you think your guy was?
Speaker 3: Come on, you watched Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: You believe he's gonna take a golden palace in the sky?
Speaker 4: Come on, man, didn't They also wheel out a mobile
Speaker 4: McDonald's famine Costa, so.
Speaker 1: He get that was in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia, Arabia.
Speaker 2: They're also planning to possibly construct a new Trump tower
Speaker 2: in Dubai.
Speaker 1: Honestly, both Dubai and Trump deserve that kind of like shade.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure they belong together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the people that Trump is negotiating with here just
Speaker 2: really know how to like get wins out of him, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Trump Tower, here's a mobile McDonald here's a.
Speaker 3: Million dollar free jet. They really have him on lag.
Speaker 1: It's tragic because the mobile McDonald's and Burger Kings used
Speaker 1: to be a sign of American like logistical dominance that
Speaker 1: like I was wondering if it had invaded it rock
Speaker 1: like fuck our ability to like airstrike anyone anywhere. We
Speaker 1: can put a fully operational McDonald's anywhere on the planet
Speaker 1: in about sixteen hours, like no one else can do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we invaded a rock with burger king trailers.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and to see it turned against our values
Speaker 1: so much? Is it's just deeply if no, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm joking here, but it is funny.
Speaker 2: Speaking of foreign trade, what is that I hear? Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that the lucid melody of tariff to Reef Garrison
Speaker 2: locking jazz Bot sorry, lock.
Speaker 4: Locking, jas locking.
Speaker 1: Jason, we're all thinking about the best way we ever
Speaker 1: spent to our company money. Every penny of that one
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen thousand dollars a month Chevy gives us
Speaker 1: for telling people to buy the new Rams. It went
Speaker 1: to a good place.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Just if we could just get one more automotive industry sponsor,
Speaker 4: then I can finally rewrite White Riot to be about
Speaker 4: white genocide in South Africa.
Speaker 1: That's right. We're courting Shell right now. So don't worry, James,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get that cover.
Speaker 5: But I'm glad to hear it.
Speaker 2: So I heard all the tariffs are gone, basically, I
Speaker 2: heard we're back to normal. Nothing ever happens. I can
Speaker 2: go back to buying TMU all day long. I can't
Speaker 2: stop playing those those TV gambling ads, and everything's normal, right, Mia.
Speaker 3: Okay, So let's let's let's where are we at with
Speaker 3: the turf tariffs. So there were actual negotiations between the
Speaker 3: US and China, and so they agreed to a ninety
Speaker 3: day pause on the one hundred and forty five percent
Speaker 3: tariff and the one hundred and twenty percent tariff of
Speaker 3: china Hood imposed retaliation. However, come there's still thirty percent
Speaker 3: like a tariffs on all Chinese goods, which is in
Speaker 3: and of itself alone enough to cause a recession. I
Speaker 3: just want everyone's Easter forgotten. This China's is back down
Speaker 3: to ten percent across the board on all US goods. Now, again,
Speaker 3: this is a ninety day pause, which has been like
Speaker 3: this is just the way that all this functions now
Speaker 3: is nothing ever ends. It just gets kicked off like
Speaker 3: down the road for ninety days. So we'll be back
Speaker 3: here in ninety Oh well, okay, we'll be back in
Speaker 3: the crisis zone a bit before that, because we're still
Speaker 3: on the other ninety day countdown, which the Liberation Day
Speaker 3: turff tariff one for every single country on Earth.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't think these countdowns are real. And I
Speaker 2: know this is like this is like different from the
Speaker 2: way like other commentators will talk about how these tariffs
Speaker 2: aren't really Like, I'm not saying these tariffs aren't real.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's someone in the White House
Speaker 2: who is literally counting down each day here like this.
Speaker 3: No, I think there is. I think it's Navarro, because
Speaker 3: Navarro actually wants all of these tariffs. And that's the
Speaker 3: driving thing behind this is Trump kind of wants these tariffs,
Speaker 3: but there's not enough of him there psychologically to like
Speaker 3: push it unless Navarro is doing it. But the reason
Speaker 3: these are taking the form of pauses is because Trump
Speaker 3: like actually wants them until he can like negotiate his
Speaker 3: big shiny deal or whatever the fuck that like can't happen.
Speaker 3: Structuralational reasons we'll get into, but.
Speaker 2: Like, I'm just remembering the Canada Mexico tariffs that Trump
Speaker 2: put on a ninety day pause and then can we
Speaker 2: completely forgot about and instead it did the Liberation Day tariffs,
Speaker 2: which then got another ninety day pause.
Speaker 3: No, but there was also the but also like the
Speaker 3: auto tariffs got paused and then those came off and
Speaker 3: like went into effect. Yeah, so some of these like
Speaker 3: have happened and like and I think, I really think it.
Speaker 3: The actual thing it comes down to is like will
Speaker 3: Navarro be the last person in the room with Trump
Speaker 3: or will it be one of his other cabinet people
Speaker 3: who don't support this stuff? And I think it's just
Speaker 3: a coin flip basically as to like who wrap fucks
Speaker 3: the other one successfully as to whether like all this
Speaker 3: stuff happens. And there's still like more tariffs that are
Speaker 3: like floating in the air that we haven't heard anything
Speaker 3: about from last week, wild wild tariffs frolicking and in
Speaker 3: the woods.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like sour dough, they can just flick it.
Speaker 3: I want to actually explain what the fuck is going
Speaker 3: on with the Chinese tariffs though, because the reporting on
Speaker 3: it has been really bad and no one's in the
Speaker 3: idea what the fuck is going on? So Okay, on
Speaker 3: the one hand, there is still the thirty percent across
Speaker 3: the board on all Chinese goods. However, the fee for
Speaker 3: small packages right, which is the stuff that was in
Speaker 3: the deminimous exemption that we talked about getting reduced so
Speaker 3: that tariff is at fifty four percent or a one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars flat fee for the package. What qualifies as
Speaker 3: a small package value. I think it's like sub eight
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, okay roughly. So yeah, And they also still
Speaker 3: have to go through like actual full customs, which which
Speaker 3: the package is been diminimus like weren't going through right, okay.
Speaker 3: So this is still lethal to like Tamu and Chian
Speaker 3: and like all of all the companies that have been
Speaker 3: relying on this stuff. It's still lethal to like vast
Speaker 3: quantities of like parts of the supply chain that we
Speaker 3: haven't even seen yet that we're getting like the one
Speaker 3: kind of screw that they need in cheap Chinese packages,
Speaker 3: because you could just do that and so and so
Speaker 3: that's what's still in effect right now, and as best
Speaker 3: I can tell, there hasn't actually been any negotiation. It's
Speaker 3: also unclear whether the Chinese government like knew that those
Speaker 3: were going to go back into effect, because because Trump
Speaker 3: did this whole thing like ah, the tarifts are over,
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah, no are the thirty percent tariff
Speaker 3: on all goods, And then the next day he was like, oh, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: but that the small package one's still there and that
Speaker 3: rates also changed, so it's also possible by tomorrow the
Speaker 3: rates are different. Because this is the dominant feature of
Speaker 3: all of this structurally is just complete chaos, Like it's
Speaker 3: it's just chaos. Nobody has any idea what the fuck
Speaker 3: is happening, and this is just a complete fiasco for
Speaker 3: literally everyone, because the shifts and teriff rates that are
Speaker 3: happening on a day by day basis are shifts large
Speaker 3: enough to shift the entire structure of the global economy,
Speaker 3: and they're just happening every day. And that's and that's
Speaker 3: the thing that's like fucking the economy almost as much
Speaker 3: as like the actual tariffs, is just the chaos and
Speaker 3: the uncertainty and the inability to do any kind of
Speaker 3: like yea, even the short term planning that businesses usually do.
Speaker 3: It's also worth noting that like there's no actual trade
Speaker 3: deal right like there isn't actually a US China trade deal.
Speaker 3: There's just they both agreed to like back off for
Speaker 3: a while while they do negotiations. There's also no structural
Speaker 3: way to actually like resolve the problem that Trump sees here,
Speaker 3: which is that like Trump and Navarro and the hardliners
Speaker 3: don't want there to be a US trade deficit with China,
Speaker 3: and that's not a thing that could be solved, never
Speaker 3: gonna happen.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so you know, and this has been playing
Speaker 3: out in other negotiations too. The US has been in
Speaker 3: negotiations with India. Trump just like came out and straight
Speaker 3: up lied and said that India had agreed to get
Speaker 3: rid of all their tariffs, and India was like, no,
Speaker 3: we didn't. What the fuck are you talking about art
Speaker 3: of the deal. Yeah, so you know, this is all
Speaker 3: turned into just an utter fiasco. Meanwhile, we're starting to
Speaker 3: see signs that, yeah, the price increase that we all
Speaker 3: knew we're coming up coming. Walmart is doing massive price increases.
Speaker 3: A bunch of other companies are considering them. They're probably
Speaker 3: going to start very soon. I want to read this
Speaker 3: quote from an economist named Marcus Nolan that NBC talk to,
Speaker 3: who is a senior institute for the Pierson Institute for
Speaker 3: International Economics. He said, quote, I think we're in for
Speaker 3: a lot more turbulence and a lot more back and forth,
Speaker 3: and the market seems to grasp, which I'm glad someone
Speaker 3: else is finally fucking saying this because like, yeah, no shit.
Speaker 3: And part of what was going on here too is
Speaker 3: the market is just incredibly easy to manipulate because people
Speaker 3: running the markets are very stupid and the moment they realize,
Speaker 3: like you could just very very easily make an unhinged
Speaker 3: amount of money by being like the terrorists are going
Speaker 3: to go into a fact and then batting against the market.
Speaker 3: There's been so much like insider stories of like insider
Speaker 3: trading from this stuff, and I don't think that's like
Speaker 3: the major thing going on, but it's also like it's
Speaker 3: just such an easy grift to pull if you know
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen, Like I could have made a bunch
Speaker 3: of money if I'd been willing to be like, hey, friends,
Speaker 3: give me a bunch of money to put to the
Speaker 3: stock market and let me short a bunch of shit
Speaker 3: the day before the liberation Day Tarish or whatever.
Speaker 2: And that's a plug for our a new weekend show
Speaker 2: where Mia does Jim Kramer. We're gonna we're gonna start
Speaker 2: doing stock portfolio suggestions.
Speaker 5: It's called Markets with Mia.
Speaker 3: Markets with MEA thank you, James, Yeah, well I will,
Speaker 3: I will, fucking I will throw darts at a dark
Speaker 3: board and then throw the dartboard at a larger dartboard,
Speaker 3: and I will outperform Jim Kramer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're calling this to do whatever the opposite of
Speaker 1: Jim Kramer says power hour. We've literally just reversed his audio.
Speaker 3: It's such a powerful investment strategy, never been defeated. Okay, So,
Speaker 3: so the one lest thing I want to talk about,
Speaker 3: which is not quite terriff but is Ekon related, is
Speaker 3: that there are for the Financial Times, there is a
Speaker 3: plan and show administration to roll back a bunch of
Speaker 3: the rules about leverage ratios we're imposed on banks after
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight. And so, okay, Mia, what the
Speaker 3: fuck is a leverage ratio?
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 5: The very short leaver underneath the bank.
Speaker 4: If you want to tip it over, you have to
Speaker 4: be quite a long way, like away from it actually,
Speaker 4: and then you pivot on the other end.
Speaker 2: I think this is a very funny joke for no
Speaker 2: one else's last I got the call.
Speaker 3: No, I would try to figure out how to write
Speaker 3: part two of it, but then you just brought up Archimedies.
Speaker 3: I was trying to over Archimedies's name, but I couldn't
Speaker 3: do it, so okay. So basically basically what this is
Speaker 3: that so banks have just like a bunch of unbelievably
Speaker 3: risky assets, and this is a requirement that they actually
Speaker 3: have assets that are safe. Yeah, so they have the
Speaker 3: assets that are risky go under. They don't get fucking
Speaker 3: nukes like everyone did in two thousand and eight. Now
Speaker 3: this is worth noting because one of the other kind
Speaker 3: of stories that's kind of flown under the radar is
Speaker 3: that in the past couple of years, a bunch of
Speaker 3: banks and a bunch of investment firms have been getting
Speaker 3: back to the literally the exact types of extremely risky
Speaker 3: mortgage back securities at the cause of two thousand and
Speaker 3: eight financial collapse. It's literally the same people to bring
Speaker 3: them back to do the same thing again. They've also been
Speaker 3: doing it with auto loans, which is great. And in
Speaker 3: the middle of this, the Trump administration wants to roll
Speaker 3: back a bunch of the protections that have been maintaining
Speaker 3: this very very precarious balance that the banking system has
Speaker 3: been in to like not really collapse for the past
Speaker 3: decade and a half. So that's gonna be fun. The
Speaker 3: rumor is gonna happen over the summer. If he does
Speaker 3: this over the summer, right as everything kicks off, it's
Speaker 3: gonna be a trip.
Speaker 2: Do you know what else is a trip? These products
Speaker 2: and services that support this podcast. Woo, all right, we
Speaker 2: are back. We're in the closest episode with me and
Speaker 2: James talking about a whole bunch of really bad immigration
Speaker 2: stuff that has happened again, which I feel like is
Speaker 2: kind of an evergreen for US. Same thing with Tariff top.
Speaker 2: We always have some bad immigration news and this week
Speaker 2: is no different. On Friday May ninth, Stephen Miller announced
Speaker 2: that the administration is quote actively looking at suspending Habeas corpus. James,
Speaker 2: do want to give a very brief definition of what
Speaker 2: habeas corpus is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a foundation of like but legal systems
Speaker 4: in the world which draw I guess on English common
Speaker 4: law means bring me the body, right, Like the idea
Speaker 4: is you have to present some evidence before just incarcerating.
Speaker 1: If you're going to say this guy killed somebody, there
Speaker 1: better be a corpse.
Speaker 3: Right needs to be like reason and due process for detention.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, you can't just lock someone up because you
Speaker 4: wanted to. Yeah, actually you can, but.
Speaker 2: Sometimes can and this does predate the United States, and
Speaker 2: the United States itself has suspended Habeas Corpus a few times,
Speaker 2: usually in specific states. For instance, following the Pearl Harbor attack,
Speaker 2: Habeas Corpus was suspended in Hawaii to detain Japanese civilians.
Speaker 2: A President Grant and Congress works together to suspend Habeas
Speaker 2: Corpus in South Carolina during reconstruction, admits to terrorist attacks
Speaker 2: from the KKK, which is kind of crazy to think
Speaker 2: about in retrospect. And the very first time Habeas Corpus
Speaker 2: was suspended was in the lead up to the Civil
Speaker 2: War when President Lincoln called for its suspension in the
Speaker 2: state of Maryland. Now that unilateral action was later deemed
Speaker 2: unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and now it's widely recognized
Speaker 2: that only Congress has the right to suspend Habeas Corpus.
Speaker 2: This is in the case of rebellion or invasion. Now,
Speaker 2: this is something that Stephen Miller is talking about. It
Speaker 2: should be incredibly worrying. Obviously, they've kind of tried to
Speaker 2: make this happen just already without like explicitly saying so,
Speaker 2: which is also what like FDR tried to do during
Speaker 2: World War two, where they don't formally like call for
Speaker 2: the suspension like nationwide, but they start instituting policies that
Speaker 2: definitely like do that, Yeah, exactly, which is why we're
Speaker 2: seeing so many habees petitions being filed across the state
Speaker 2: when people have been detained unlawfully. Homeland Security Secretary Christin
Speaker 2: Nomes said on Wednesday in a congressional hearing that the
Speaker 2: level of border crossings under Joe Biden provides a sufficient
Speaker 2: legal justification to suspend Habeas corpus following Trump's.
Speaker 3: Declaration of invasion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is something to watch out for as
Speaker 2: they start trying to basically codify all of the actions
Speaker 2: that they're currently doing which can be construed as illegal
Speaker 2: or certainly legally questionable, They're going to try to find
Speaker 2: ways to make them more explicitly legal.
Speaker 4: So probably the most notable immigration happening this week is
Speaker 4: one that we already covered on the show, and it
Speaker 4: is the reopening of the United States refugee admissions program.
Speaker 3: We're taking refugees again.
Speaker 5: We didn't, we didn't, yeh.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, we're only taking the persecuted Africanas of South Africa.
Speaker 3: Wait what, Yeah, they.
Speaker 4: Are the survivors of the white genocide, those those who
Speaker 4: made it.
Speaker 1: Through quote unquote white genocide, the white genocide that even
Speaker 1: Groc doesn't agree existly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, can't make a digital child believe in No.
Speaker 2: Let me actually quote from a from a grok doing
Speaker 2: a Darter Banks impression.
Speaker 1: We don't have to do this, Lisa.
Speaker 2: Groc Oopsie used to ask about the replies. But Lisa
Speaker 2: tinks you are meaning the big talk about South Africa. Yeah,
Speaker 2: do white jeniside talking Bucho controversial?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I can't hear the rest.
Speaker 1: It's not even good jar Jar, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: Did he speak Spanish? I think it's chucking all the
Speaker 4: racial stereotypey, what are we?
Speaker 1: They make it more racist.
Speaker 2: White farmers getting attacks too much, like two hundred and
Speaker 2: fourteen attacks a year, and political words like killed four
Speaker 2: making it worse.
Speaker 1: Bos.
Speaker 3: It's too bad. I'm not getting as pay for exposure
Speaker 3: to this. It does go on.
Speaker 4: Sentences so much more like I love how you should like.
Speaker 4: It's fucking dubstep recorders cut.
Speaker 1: In the song. I've never met a nice South African
Speaker 1: right here?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we can. We'll just do the first first.
Speaker 4: We just discussed it with fine copyright. Yeah, yeah, I'll
Speaker 4: throw that in here, yep. So even've got a reference
Speaker 4: to me and Mars, so we're fine. We've covered it before.
Speaker 4: It's the central worldly song.
Speaker 3: Lisa says, no, thank you stop.
Speaker 4: So if he's giving a double thumbs down, everyone is
Speaker 4: very upset right now, apart from Garrison.
Speaker 5: Who's laughing like a little imp.
Speaker 4: Having introduced jar Jar binks to the call right back
Speaker 4: to the Afrikaners that fifty nine Afrikaners who were brought
Speaker 4: to the United States came After the United States halted
Speaker 4: or refuge admissions in January, thousands of people, including Afghans
Speaker 4: who and Iraqis who worked for the United States, remained stranded.
Speaker 4: Some of them are stuck at airports. Most of them
Speaker 4: are in third countries where they only have limited visas,
Speaker 4: and they're looking at timing out their visas in those
Speaker 4: third countries. As a direct result of the Trump administration's
Speaker 4: facktory with the white genocide stuff, the Episcopalian Church, not
Speaker 4: the most work of organizations, has suspended its contracts its
Speaker 4: resettlement contracts with the government. Criticals support yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: I read the letter from one of their bishops on
Speaker 4: our show about this, and like he was very forthright,
Speaker 4: and like I generally genuinely do have critical support for
Speaker 4: the faith based organizations who help refugees. It's a good
Speaker 4: thing to do, and I'm glad that they are doing it, especially.
Speaker 2: If they're not trying to like turn into a weird
Speaker 2: missionary operation like evangelicals do.
Speaker 5: For sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, what's it called the fucking Glenn
Speaker 4: Back One doesn't it's not a resettlement agency luckily. So
Speaker 4: in Worcester, Massachusetts, a place that I didn't know there
Speaker 4: was a Worcester in America.
Speaker 5: Actually this yesh. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So how is it then that as a nation, Americans
Speaker 4: are incapable of saying Worcestershire.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, yeah, because that's just one state and it's
Speaker 1: not a good one. Also, that's the sauce, right.
Speaker 4: It's also the place I was born Garrison. Oh well, yeah,
Speaker 4: Worcestershire for those who are you wondering there it is people.
Speaker 2: Yeah again, I we do have to call it Worster
Speaker 2: because that's what it's called in this country.
Speaker 5: Hmm.
Speaker 2: I care a lot about accurate pronunciations of places and names.
Speaker 2: So it is Worcester.
Speaker 4: Worster's the city in Worcestershire is the county in England too,
Speaker 4: so you don't have the county and where you have Massachusetts.
Speaker 4: So Western Massachusetts Ice threatened to arrest a twenty one
Speaker 4: year old woman named Augusta Clara, and they told her
Speaker 4: that they'd have to take her three months old baby
Speaker 4: as well, because they couldn't leave it with her seventeen
Speaker 4: year old sister on account of the younger woman being
Speaker 4: a miner. As it turned out, this was a ploy
Speaker 4: to lure out her mother. Clara called her mother, who
Speaker 4: came out to take the baby, and they arrested her mother,
Speaker 4: which was who they'd been wanting to arrest the whole time.
Speaker 4: Right This arrest came the day after they'd arrested the
Speaker 4: baby's father in what Clara says was a response to
Speaker 4: him honking his horn an undercover ice agent. Neighbors tried
Speaker 4: to intervene in the scene, which resulted in the Worcester,
Speaker 4: Massachusetts Leice Department responding. The cops proceeded to body slam
Speaker 4: seventeen year old girl, arrest her, and arrest a local
Speaker 4: woman for what they claimed was pushing them. Locals have
Speaker 4: been protesting since the city council has moved its meetings
Speaker 4: online citing public safety concerns, and in another bungled raid
Speaker 4: in the same state, ICE agents left a twelve year
Speaker 4: old child alone on the sidewalk and drove their vehicle
Speaker 4: aggressively towards a city councilor who was trying to document
Speaker 4: a situation. Meanwhile, in Florida, DeSantis has sworn in one
Speaker 4: hundred Florida Highway Patrol deputies as special US Marshals and
Speaker 4: their claiming this allows them to conduct immigration enforcement operations
Speaker 4: of their own outside of cooperation with ICE or CBP.
Speaker 4: That adds to the two thousand ATF and DA agents
Speaker 4: the Tramp administration has requested to join ICE teams. So
Speaker 4: when you're watching videos sometimes you'll see when there are
Speaker 4: these like ICE snatch squads.
Speaker 5: Right there are.
Speaker 4: EIGHTF agents with them, and what they're generally there to
Speaker 4: do is like to secure, to provide like additional security
Speaker 4: on the team while the ICE agents do the actual apprehensions.
Speaker 4: DeSantis has also offered quote new detention facilities. I haven't
Speaker 4: seen much reporting on this, but in the same statement
Speaker 4: on his website where he talked about cross swearing, the
Speaker 4: highway patrol guys. He also talked about these quote new
Speaker 4: detention facilities, and I want to take this opportunity to
Speaker 4: reflect on the existing detention facilities in Florida because they
Speaker 4: are the worst in a system of horrific detention facilities.
Speaker 4: The ACLU has documented quote persistent emotional, physical, and sexual
Speaker 4: abuse at the hands of staff for these facilities, Detainees
Speaker 4: reportedly being punished simply seeking medical care, being denied medical
Speaker 4: attention just by having pre existing conditions. The report also
Speaker 4: found ample evidence of gendered and racialized mistreatment the Chrome
Speaker 4: Detention Center that's krom Is in particular horrific migrants there,
Speaker 4: in one instance, were held in chains on buses for
Speaker 4: sixteen hours and told to use the bathroom where they
Speaker 4: were sitting on the buses. A migrant named A studios
Speaker 4: as a hell Vasquez Martinez somehow kept his phone inside
Speaker 4: the Chrome Detention Center and was able to live stream
Speaker 4: or at least post videos showed horrific overcrowding. Some sources
Speaker 4: claim there were as many as four thousand people in
Speaker 4: the detention center, which has a capacity of five hundred
Speaker 4: and two people that we know of have died there
Speaker 4: since January, Florida looking to add more detention centers.
Speaker 5: Not great, it's.
Speaker 4: About all I got. Garrison talk to us about Project Homecoming.
Speaker 4: Who's coming home?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And again we will actually close on some good news.
Speaker 2: So it's not all horrible stuff this entire time. But
Speaker 2: we do need to mention Project Homecoming. So this was
Speaker 2: a proclamation issued by Trump on May ninth, entitled Establishing
Speaker 2: Project Homecoming, which aims to curb a quote unquote full
Speaker 2: scale invasion. It claims to devote more federal resources to
Speaker 2: assist self deportation via the CBP home app, including paying
Speaker 2: for flights for those who are quote voluntarily and permanently
Speaker 2: departing the United States, which says, quote the Secretary of
Speaker 2: State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall create a
Speaker 2: concierge service whereby any alien illegally present in the United States,
Speaker 2: it may arrive at an airport with or without appropriate
Speaker 2: travel documents, book air travel to permanently relocate to a
Speaker 2: different country. So they are really strengthening these self deportation mechanisms.
Speaker 2: Section two promises to provide financial incentives in the form
Speaker 2: of a quote unquote exit bonus for each illegal alien
Speaker 2: who voluntarily and permanently departs the United States.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so a couple of really weird things there, just
Speaker 4: off the bat. Yes, age like permanently departs, it seems
Speaker 4: to suggest that you would be permanently barred from ever
Speaker 4: entering the United States acquiring a visa.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 4: Secondly, if you don't have travel documents, the country that
Speaker 4: you're traveling to or through has no reason to admit you.
Speaker 4: Right that the US government cannot force other countries to
Speaker 4: admit people without travel documents. There are things called refugee
Speaker 4: travel documents, which allow people who have had their passports,
Speaker 4: et cetera stolen to travel.
Speaker 5: I don't think that's what's gonna happen here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does mention something about trying to negotiate with
Speaker 2: other countries to allow people without documentation to arrive there,
Speaker 2: but like, well they actually do that probably not like
Speaker 2: they've claimed to not have to need to do that before,
Speaker 2: so like, yeah, that's not like a solid promise. Now,
Speaker 2: those who choose to remain will face quote sweeping consequences
Speaker 2: including removal, prosecution, incarceration, and fines as consistent with applicable
Speaker 2: law for immigration related crimes, the garnishment of wages, and
Speaker 2: the confiscations of savings and personal property, including homes and
Speaker 2: vehicles unquote, so they're threatening to steal all of your things.
Speaker 2: This poclamation follows this like propaganda video shared by Christino
Speaker 2: in the Department of Homeland Security. This video was released
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago and it contains some similar rhetoric
Speaker 2: regarding self deportation and fines being imposed for those who
Speaker 2: stay in the country.
Speaker 6: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 6: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 6: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 6: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 6: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 6: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christinom, the United States Secretary
Speaker 6: of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings
Speaker 6: are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over one
Speaker 6: hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are
Speaker 6: here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly one
Speaker 6: thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported you will never return.
Speaker 6: But if you register using our CBP home app and
Speaker 6: leave now. You could be allowed to return legally. Do
Speaker 6: what's right. Leave now under President Trump, America's laws, border
Speaker 6: and families will be protected.
Speaker 3: The whole style of video is very bizarre.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a Marvel trailer.
Speaker 2: It's like a Marvel trailer with like the aesetex of
Speaker 2: like mid two thousands, like dystopian sci fi.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Again, the end of that video, she talks about being
Speaker 2: able to return legally, which is in contrast to the
Speaker 2: language in a Project Homecoming, which says that people would
Speaker 2: be leaving the United States permanently. Finally, the proclamation directs
Speaker 2: the Secretary of Homeland Security to within sixty days, supplement
Speaker 2: existing law enforcement and removal operations by deputizing and contracting
Speaker 2: state and local police, former Feds, and quote, other individuals
Speaker 2: to increase the enforcement and removal operations force of the
Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security by no less than twenty thousand
Speaker 2: officers in order to conduct an intensive campaign to remove
Speaker 2: illegal aliens unquote. And now, as of this morning, May fifteenth,
Speaker 2: the DHS has requested to mobilize over twenty thousand National
Speaker 2: Guard troops from the Department of Defense to comply with
Speaker 2: Trump's order to expand its immigration crackdown, and on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: the FBI ordered agents to deprioritize white collar crime investigations
Speaker 2: for the remainder of twenty twenty five to instead focus
Speaker 2: on immigration enforcement. Field offices notified their agents that now
Speaker 2: one third of their time must go towards assisting Trump's
Speaker 2: immigration policies. I'm going to quote from Reuter's quote. The
Speaker 2: orders came on the same day that Matthew Gailliatti, the
Speaker 2: head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, issued new guidance
Speaker 2: to prosecutors that scales back to the scope of white
Speaker 2: collar cases historically pursued by the Department and orders prosecutors
Speaker 2: to quote minimize the length and collateral impact of such investigations. Jeez, again,
Speaker 2: the most corrupt administration ever ever before seen. For the
Speaker 2: good news to close the episode, the Tuft's university student
Speaker 2: was may Oz Turk, who was black bagged on the
Speaker 2: streets of Massachusetts for co authoring a pro Palestine op ed.
Speaker 2: Has been released on bail as of May ninth, after
Speaker 2: spending six weeks in iced attention. The judge said that
Speaker 2: missus Ostrich's claims of her First Amendment and due process
Speaker 2: rights being violated are quote unquote very substantial. And then
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, May fourteenth, the Georgetown University researcher from India
Speaker 2: named Batar Khan Surrey was released from immigration detention as
Speaker 2: he continues to fight two deportation cases brought against him
Speaker 2: by the Trump administration for his support of Palestine. So
Speaker 2: this is now the third or fourth person that has
Speaker 2: been released from ICE custody following like political prosecutions based
Speaker 2: on their activism.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Now, these cases are still going to be continuing in courts,
Speaker 2: but the fact that these people have been released from
Speaker 2: ICE attention is good news.
Speaker 4: And in most cases they were released on their own
Speaker 4: recover since right without GPS tagging or any like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're free to move throughout the country because most
Speaker 2: of them have cases in like multiple states. ICE is
Speaker 2: trying to move them around to many different locations. And
Speaker 2: I know that Surrey and Osturik are able to go
Speaker 2: back to their homes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so like it's good.
Speaker 4: It shows that the courts are still able to stop
Speaker 4: some of this stuff at this time.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that the actual ability of a lawyer to
Speaker 1: intervene when you were treated illegally by the state is
Speaker 1: not nil yeah yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, good point, positive developments here, but like yeah,
Speaker 2: as we'll see with with Miller's goal of getting rid
Speaker 2: of Habeas Corpus and accelerating law enforcement operations with these
Speaker 2: twenty thousand new National Guard troops. This is this is
Speaker 2: something that's still going to be a very a very
Speaker 2: hot issue for quite a while, and we will continue
Speaker 2: to report on it as it develops.
