So let's get us some actual 93 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 2: news though. 94 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 3: Sure, real news. Okay. 95 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: So, Portland, Oregon has been the site of some recent 96 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: noteworthy ice protests. On Saturday, the thirty first of January, 97 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: there was a large Union march on the Ice Building 98 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: on McAdams Street in Portland, Oregon. This was like basically 99 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 4: every union in Portland. It was the largest union march 100 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 4: that we've had here in like twenty years. Somewhere along 101 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 4: those lines. About five to ten thousand people showed up. Wow, 102 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 4: when I heard it was ten k because I wound 103 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 4: up there. I didn't even planning to go, but I 104 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 4: showed up with a friend, and as we were kind 105 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 4: of watching the crowd pass, some buddy of ours came 106 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 4: up who knows one of the people who organized the 107 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 4: march and was like, yeah, they're expecting like ten thousand people. 108 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: And I was like, there's no way they're going to 109 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 4: get ten thousand fucking people out here. And then as 110 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 4: the crowd went past me for like twenty straight minutes, 111 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 4: and I was like, yeah, that might be ten thousand people. 112 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: That really is quite a lot of motherfucking people. It 113 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: was an extremely diverse crowd, which I mean in the 114 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 4: age sense primarily it's Portlands, so not in the in 115 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 4: any other sense of the word. 116 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, those protests tend to have you know, older folks, teenagers, families, teachers, a. 117 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 4: Lot of older folks, a lot of little kids, kids 118 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: who were like eight to twelve years old, because it 119 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 4: was just suppose people were like the basic round of 120 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 4: march was doing a circle around the Ice facility, and 121 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 4: then there was like sound equipment and music set up 122 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 4: on a nearby park. So I think I don't believe 123 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 4: the plan was an extended confrontation with Ice, which is 124 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: what made what came next so surprising, which is that 125 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 4: we start walking towards where the route of march is heading. 126 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 4: We're kind of in like the middle of the crowd probably, 127 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 4: and we see a cloud and it's like three point 128 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 4: thirty in the afternoon. So the people I'm with, who 129 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: have all been through their share of Portland protests, are like, 130 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: that can't be tear gas. It's not even four pm 131 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 4: and this is the Liberal March. There's no way they've 132 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: gassed it already. Like I saw the front of the march, 133 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: it was a bunch of people in their fifties. Like, 134 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: they're not forcing the issue with Ice, I don't think, 135 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 4: but apparently pray the claims made by Ice. When the 136 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: crowd reached the Ice building, people began throwing water bottles. 137 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: So obviously that's a situation that can't be allowed to continue. 138 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: So they gas the absolute fuck out of the march, 139 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: and they gased it so much that the cloud of 140 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 4: gas spread to cover pretty much the entire march, including 141 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 4: the people who were nowhere near the front of the 142 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 4: march yet. So as we're walking towards it, we've become 143 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: aware about halfway towards getting to it that like, okay, 144 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 4: that's not smoke, that is, in fact gas. Some of 145 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 4: us had masks. I did not, So I'm like, well, 146 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have a bad time. This is straight up 147 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 4: not going to be fun. And the problem with it 148 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 4: was because of where they gassed us. There were kind 149 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 4: of two streets of buildings on either side, so you 150 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 4: basically got you're in like a valley almost. You've got 151 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: steep canyon walls kind of on either side of you. 152 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: And there was no wind that day, so you've just 153 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 4: got this thick cloud of gas smoke, and ten thousand 154 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: people crammed in between two pillars of buildings. So it 155 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 4: was a very bad time. A lot of kids got gassed. 156 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 4: I saw a number of children in significant distress, like 157 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: little kids. A lot of old people wound up in 158 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: significant distress. It was straight up a bad time, and 159 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 4: it continued for the next day. There was another march 160 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 4: the next day that started at City Hall. This kind 161 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 4: of galvanized people in Portland to specifically take up the 162 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: charge of protesting for the city to basically not renew 163 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: or cancel ICE's contract to use the building that they're 164 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: based out of. So there was a large march on Sunday. 165 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 4: I showed up as the march reached the Ice area 166 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 4: because I didn't want to walk across town, and sure 167 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 4: enough we get there in maybe an hour or so 168 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: after the crowd arrives. There's like a thousand or so people, 169 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 4: and it's still a very young crowd. This is not 170 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 4: mostly people who have been doing the protest thing in 171 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 4: Portland for a long time. Like I saw a lot 172 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: of girls who couldn't have been older than sixteen or 173 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 4: seventeen out on Sunday and they gassed again, and I 174 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: couldn't tell you. They were letting people like right up 175 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 4: to the front of the ICE building, which they had 176 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: gassed folks for throwing water bottles kind of near the 177 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 4: day before. So there's never any consistency with these sort 178 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 4: of things, And eventually they just decided to gas the 179 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 4: shit out of everybody again to come and snatch people. 180 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 4: And that's kind of the story is people in Portland 181 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 4: are really pissed again because they gassed the big Lib march. 182 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 4: All of the unions are really angry, all of the 183 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 4: nurses are really angry. The city government's angry. The Mayor 184 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 4: of Portland, Keith Wilson, made a statement that all of 185 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 4: the ICE should quit their jobs, should resign. I don't 186 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 4: know that. I think that they're actually going to kick 187 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 4: ICE out of its building now. To be fair, I 188 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 4: don't think that ICE is really getting much done in 189 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 4: that building because it's locked down completely. They are using 190 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 4: facilities up in Washington for the actual immigration stuff for 191 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 4: the most part, so it's become I think it's largely 192 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: a symbol. Yeah, a symbolic kind of dill. So we'll see. 193 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 4: I don't know what's going to happen next, but yeah, 194 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 4: that's the update from here. 195 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: The tear gas air is spicy and bad for our health. 196 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it always bums me out to see 197 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 4: really young people like kids get tear gased, especially like 198 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 4: teenage girls. 199 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 3: Because there's data and not. 200 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 4: Nearly as much as there should because the government really 201 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 4: doesn't like studying this on how tear gas affects, particularly 202 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 4: like reproductive health, and it's bad. There's evidence from places 203 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 4: like Gaza that it can cause miscarriages. There's documentation and 204 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: miscarriages and at least three different countries as a result 205 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 4: of tear gas use, although again it's not the kind 206 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: of documentation you'd want for a medical thing because you 207 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 4: can't really isolate out other factors that may have been 208 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 4: happening at the same time, because you're trying to figure 209 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 4: out what this and other things are doing to people's 210 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 4: bodies in a place like Gaza where you have no 211 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 4: kind of like clinical control. But outside of that, there's 212 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 4: evidence of missed periods that it can delay or cause 213 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 4: unusually painful periods. 214 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: Send people into early menopause. 215 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 5: Jeez. 216 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some evidence for that. 217 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 4: It's kind of a When I brought this up online, 218 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 4: someone got very angry at me because they're like, well, 219 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: it's not proven. I think there's enough data to tell people, 220 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 4: especially if you've got a uterus, wear a mask when 221 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 4: you go protest. 222 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think also, how are we going to obtain 223 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 5: proof in this scenario? 224 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 6: Right? 225 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 4: What are they going to do? 226 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not very easy for us to do. We 227 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 5: can't really do it just a double blind trial, right. Yeah. 228 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 4: Somebody brought up like, if it was bad for reproductive health, 229 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 4: then all of the women in the military, because you 230 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: get tear gased as part of military training, then that 231 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 4: would have shown up before and it hasn't. And I 232 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 4: immediately found in about three seconds the largest like study 233 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 4: done so far on the effective tear gas that specifically noted. Yeah, 234 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: they did some studies on hair tear gas affects people 235 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 4: in the sixties. 236 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: They didn't look at. 237 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 4: Women, weren't interested, they didn't care, not at all a priority. 238 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, completely ignored it. Shocked, shocked to hear this. 239 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 4: So anyway, just like we're a respirator. A half faced respirator, 240 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 4: you know, is cheaper. I would recommend a full face 241 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 4: because tear gas sucks on your eyes. They're not crazy expensive. 242 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 4: You don't have to get a nice gas mask. Just 243 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: get a respirator. It's better than nothing. 244 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like my respirator. 245 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: Yep. 246 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 5: So first, just a couple of small things that we 247 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 5: wanted to note that we might come back to covering later. First, 248 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 5: the US has now admits it that it had a 249 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 5: small contingent troops on the ground in Nigeria. I wrote 250 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 5: on my newsletter about US drone strikes in Nigeria, what 251 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 5: they're doing there and who they're targeting with those drone strikes, 252 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 5: alongside the long running issues with civilian casualties with airborne 253 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 5: raids in Nigeria on my news letters of people want 254 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 5: to read that they can. And secondly, I wanted to 255 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 5: mention that Judge Anna Reyes has stated Secretary g Nomes 256 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 5: decision that would have rendered three hundred and fifty thousand 257 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 5: Haitians without legal status when she was going to let 258 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 5: the temporary protected status expire. I have explained TPS several 259 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 5: times on ED and in my first Darien series, so 260 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 5: I'm not going to go into detail about it here, 261 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 5: but if you'd like to listen to those, you could 262 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 5: find out more about it. 263 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: Last thing before our first ad break, Bill and Hillary 264 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: Clinton have agreed to testify before Congress is a part 265 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: of the Epstein investigation. A vote to hold the Clinton's 266 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: in criminal contempt of Congress was scheduled for this week 267 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: before they finally agreed to be to at two hearings 268 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: in late February and the Clintons have now called for 269 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: these hearings to be public. This follows a slew of 270 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: new Epstein documents that are released by the DOJ last week, 271 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: which Robert, you'll be you'll be covering on Behind the 272 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: Bastards soon. 273 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, we will be talking about the things revealed 274 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 4: in the new Epstein file releases, the three million or 275 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: so documents that just came out. Yes, we'll be talking 276 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 4: about that on Behind the Bastards. 277 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: Not next week but the week after. 278 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, probably like the week after something like that. There's 279 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 4: a lot of good stuff in there, a lot of 280 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: brock Pierce in this set of releases. If you've been 281 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 4: curious as to what the guy who invented Tether, the 282 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 4: cryptocurrency tether was up to, with Jeffrey Epstein as a spoiler, 283 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 4: it was molesting people. 284 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. 285 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, well allegedly, we don't know. We don't know that 286 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 4: it was molesting. They were described as girls, repeatedly described 287 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 4: as girls in the emails, but between brock Pierce, the 288 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 4: Mighty Ducks guy, and Jeffrey Epstein. But that could mean anything, 289 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 4: you know, that could mean anything. 290 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: You'd be talking about the Elon Musk emails in there. 291 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 4: There's some Elon stuff in there, it's nothing definitive. The 292 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 4: downside of it is Elon has a leg to stand 293 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 4: on when he's like I never went to the island. 294 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 3: That said. 295 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: You can interpret the emails one of two ways. Because 296 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: I saw an Elon musk fans, I'd be like, see, 297 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 4: he was clearly just trying to blow him off. That's 298 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 4: not how I interpret Elon's emails to Epstein. I think 299 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 4: he really wanted to go to that fuck island. 300 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 3: What night will the wildest post he be or something? 301 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like I want to know where, But 302 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 4: he was also talking about like the whole island area right, 303 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 4: like where the wildest parties are that he wanted. So 304 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 4: he does have some plausible deniability. But he was lying 305 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 4: about not being in touch with Epstein and also JK 306 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 4: Rowling in touch with Epstein.

M This Wednesday morning, February fourth, Tom 342 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 2: Homan announced that they're pulling seven hundred federal agents out 343 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 2: of Minneapolis, though two thousand will remain in the city. 344 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: That's so many agents. 345 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so that much. 346 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: Even seven hundred sounded like. 347 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 2: There's still a lot of ICE and Border patrol on 348 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: the ground. 349 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: Wow. 350 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 5: Two thousand was a surge that they did earlier this year. 351 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 5: That that was when they really kind of flooded it 352 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 5: with ICE agents. So in two thousand is still two 353 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 5: thousands is still a massive amount of ices overall capacity. 354 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 5: That these aren't all ICE agents, right, like they deputize 355 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 5: atf and marshals and other things. 356 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 2: But a lot of Border patrol guys here. 357 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if that's who the seven hundred 358 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 5: who there was drawing are. 359 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: It's a mix, it's not. I don't think they're from 360 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: just one agency. 361 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, there are a lot of Border patrol you 362 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 5: see that a lot, right, Like the Border patrol agents 363 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 5: clearly love this, right, They're they're getting per DM, they're 364 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 5: getting travel pay. They make more money than they do 365 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 5: on the border and they don't have to like drive 366 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 5: around in the middle of nowhere. 367 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 3: They call it going on Safari. 368 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 5: Homan has cited an increasing cooperation by Minnesota authorities. He 369 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 5: was talking about handing over detained people who would be deportable, 370 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 5: I think, But I have not seen a similar statement 371 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 5: from state authorities in Minnesota, at least at a time, 372 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 5: So take that with a pinch of salt. Right, A 373 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 5: lot of what we see coming out of drum DHS 374 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 5: just straight up isn't true. 375 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: They have been talking about trying to increase the cooperation 376 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 2: with ICE detainers in the local prisons and jails. 377 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that would be what this cooperation 378 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 5: would be. It would be like either cooperating with ICE 379 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 5: detainers or even alerting ICE if they thought someone was deportable. 380 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 2: An interesting thing of note as well is earlier this 381 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 2: week the military troops that were placed on standby have 382 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: been unplaced on standby, soh not looking like those guys 383 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: in Alaska or North Carolina will be deploying to Minneapolis. 384 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 2: In some other Minneapolis related news, Dawn Lemon, friend of 385 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 2: the pod, was arrested Thursday, January twenty nine and now 386 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: faces civil rights charges for allegedly violating Face Act, which 387 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 2: prohibits interfering with reproductive health services or people exercising religious 388 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: freedom at a place of worship. On January eighteenth, Lemon 389 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 2: reported on a protest at City's church in Saint Paul, 390 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 2: where one of the pastors is also the head of 391 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 2: the local ice field office. A magistrate, judge and an 392 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 2: appeals court previously dismissed the charges against Lemon before the 393 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: case was brought before a grand jury in Minnesota. Six 394 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: activists and one other journalists are also facing charges. We 395 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: reported on this protest after it happened, and yeah, the 396 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: DOJ has been trying to pin pin Lemon on this 397 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: for the past few weeks. Yeah, probably not a great 398 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: sign for you know, general general First Amendment activity. 399 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 5: No, no, that's a pretty pretty bleak side. 400 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: Actually, as frustrating as the as it is to start 401 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: waiving the Jimmy Kimmel Don Lemon flag, you know. That's 402 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 2: that's that is the situation we're in. 403 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not good. 404 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 5: The journalists they arrested was the head of the National 405 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 5: Association of Black Journalists. 406 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 3: What's she Georgia Fort is her name? 407 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I do want to say, actually that like 408 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 5: when we talk about protections for journalists, like journalists, yes, 409 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 5: can often be the people who were first targeted for 410 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 5: like things that violate freedom of speech. Right, Like when 411 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 5: governments are going to violate freedom of speech, they can 412 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 5: go off to journalists first. But like when someone is 413 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 5: recording ICE operations, they are doing citizen journalism. They are 414 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 5: protected by exactly the same rights that we have as 415 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 5: journalists who are doing this as our full time job. 416 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 5: There isn't a special first Amendment for us. And so 417 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 5: when the border patrol agents killed Alex Pretty, they killed 418 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 5: someone who is at that time engaged to journalism too. 419 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 5: And like, I'm to see journalistic bodies standing up, not 420 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 5: just for people who employed his full time jeneists have 421 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 5: put all of our rights to document and record. 422 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, all of the legal observers who are filming ICE 423 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 2: as well that are being targeted with intimidation, being pulled over. 424 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 3: Having guns pointed at them, etc. 425 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 426 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: Do you want to talk about the Senate funding for ICE? 427 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: Oh? 428 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 3: Do I? 429 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 2: So the partial government shut down, which did start last week, 430 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 2: was ended on Tuesday after the DJs bill was stripped 431 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 2: out of the now one point two trillion dollar annual 432 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 2: funding package. DHS's funding will lapse on Friday the thirteenth, 433 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: and negotiation. 434 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 3: Why not. 435 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 2: While negotiations continue on a DHS funding bill, Congressional Democrats 436 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 2: are pushing for agency reforms like judicial warrants and no 437 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: masked agents, while Republicans are signaling minor consents like having 438 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: a border patrol and ice wear body cameras. 439 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, should we talk a little bit more about body cameras? 440 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 2: You know what my favorite tarthic let's talk about body cameras. 441 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 3: A Yeah, I love to talk about a body worn camera. 442 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 2: Time was a flat circle. 443 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay. 444 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 5: So Christie Nome this week announced that ice agents in 445 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 5: Minnesota were going to wear body worn cameras going forward. 446 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 5: And I've been kind of disappointed a lot of the 447 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 5: reporting on this. What is I think missing is that that, 448 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 5: like there was a twenty twenty two executive order right 449 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 5: signed by Biden the ordered federal law enforcement to use 450 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 5: body worn cameras. Funding for them was included in the 451 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 5: twenty twenty one for SCOOL year appropriations built. Nome has 452 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 5: said they will grow the program as funds become available, 453 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 5: but those funds have been available for some time right 454 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four document ice document that talked about 455 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 5: their pilot program study. They said, quote full implementation is 456 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 5: expected by September thirtieth, twenty twenty five. Eagle eared listers 457 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 5: will noticed that it in the past. However, in twenty 458 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 5: twenty five I spagan rolling this back. They issued a 459 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: directive which continued only implementing the body worn camera program 460 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 5: in the certain pilot program cities. The Trump administration, in 461 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 5: its second term, has called Congress to cut funding for 462 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 5: body worn cameras by seventy five percent and reduce the 463 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 5: staffing of the body worn camera program from twenty two 464 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 5: people to just three. They have also cut oversight offices 465 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 5: within DHS like oh IDO. O IDEO is like the 466 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 5: nichest level of DHS. Understand that when you know of 467 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 5: o IDEO, I think Biden created it. I actually I've 468 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 5: seen them once. It's the Office of the Immigration Detention ombardsmen. 469 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 5: They came to the outdoor detention sites in hercumber which 470 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 5: seems to be something of a concession that by the 471 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 5: administration at the time denied people were detained in those sites. 472 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 5: It had one hundred plus employees at start of the 473 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 5: Trump administration. It also has three now, according to Reuters, 474 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 5: this most recent bill, as Garrison said, does include funding 475 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 5: and a mandate for their use. A federal judge in 476 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 5: Chicago had already ordered agents there to wear cameras in 477 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 5: November of last year. I should note that I also 478 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 5: looked up the Ice body warm camera policy and it 479 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 5: theoretically now in soo far of any of these policies 480 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 5: are being followed, right, prohibits them for using body worn 481 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 5: cameras for the quote sole purpose of recording people engaged 482 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 5: in First Amendment protected activities. So they can just use 483 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 5: their phones for that. I guess that's what they've been doing. 484 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, this is like part of the frustration 485 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 2: around this bill is you do have humor pushing for 486 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: certain things like like not wearing masks and not doing 487 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: the rolling raids, but also emphasizing, you know, you want 488 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 2: the masks off and the cameras on, as if that's 489 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 2: going to affect the behavior of agents on the ground. Meanwhile, 490 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,959 Speaker 2: during the killing of Renee Good, the officer that shot 491 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 2: and killed her was filming the whole thing on his phone. 492 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: He was filming on his own cell phones. So obviously, yeah, 493 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: having a camera on the agent is not going to 494 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 2: prevent them from killing someone. 495 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 4: Because they think it's good what they're doing. Yeah, they 496 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 4: don't think it's bad. 497 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 5: You have to understand that both the agents who shot 498 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 5: Alex Pretty actually had body worn cameras and they're actually 499 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 5: CBP agents. So CBP or BP, I should say, right, 500 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 5: Customs are border. 501 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 2: Protection, one of them is CPP, one of them's PP. 502 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 3: That's correct. 503 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what they're they're both CBP agents. But within 504 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 5: CBP you have BP and OFO. Okay, they get really 505 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 5: mad if you get this wrong. Literally, I've got an 506 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 5: email once for the subject line. 507 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 3: Come on, man. 508 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 5: So they were both Customs and Border Protection agents. Generally 509 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 5: border patrol. Border patrol is part of Customs and Border Protection, right, 510 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 5: the other part of the Office of Field Operations. Border 511 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 5: Patrol ceased using their cameras early in the Trump administration, 512 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 5: citing an issue with the bluetooth used by the cameras 513 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 5: that could make them detectable. This is a thing that 514 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,239 Speaker 5: can happen. It is possible. There's a GitHub script for this. 515 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 5: Whether the justifiers stopping using them is an entirely different question. 516 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: Both the agents in the Pretty shooting were wearing body 517 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 5: can but we have not seen that footage. The two 518 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 5: agents have been identified by Pro Publica as Border Patrol 519 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 5: agent Zus jesse Or Choa and Customs and Border Protection 520 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 5: Officer Field Operations Officer Raimundo Gutierrez. A Choa joined twenty eighteen. 521 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 5: Gutierrez joined in twenty fourteen. Gutierrez is part of the 522 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 5: office Field Operations Special Response Team that is generally a 523 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 5: team with training in weapons and tactics who would serve 524 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 5: high risk warrants. 525 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 3: Do raids like a Swart style. 526 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's another word for swat, I think because what 527 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 5: became somewhat you know, they decided they want a different 528 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 5: word for it. Sure, pro Publica I got an interview 529 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 5: with the Choa's ex wife who said, quote, by the 530 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 5: time the couple split in twenty twenty one, he had 531 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 5: become a gun enthusiast, with about twenty five rifles, pistols 532 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 5: and shotguns. Into much as that matters, I guess that 533 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 5: was the only interview that could get about them. 534 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 3: Both of the men are from South Texas. 535 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: To circle back to the funding bill for DHS and 536 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: these potential reforms being pushed for at you know, multiple 537 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 2: levels of the democratic establishment, you know, with Schumer being 538 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 2: a little bit lighter and obviously people like AOC and 539 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 2: to leave pushing for more extreme measures like abolishing the 540 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 2: agency advice, which is unlikely to happen in this funding 541 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 2: bill as the Republicans control Congress. But still there is 542 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: a spectrum of beliefs among the party at the moment. 543 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 2: And to get a look at what average regular registered 544 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: Democrats believe, there's a new poll from you gov that 545 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: came out this week based on data from late January 546 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 2: early February that have seventy nine percent of Democrats saying 547 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 2: they support abolishing ICE. Abolishing ICE is also up eight 548 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: points within the attendants and more people overall support abolishing 549 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 2: ICE at forty six percent to forty four percent opposing. 550 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 5: So, just to finish up on our immigration coverage to 551 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 5: the week, we also saw Judge Cobb with the DC 552 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 5: District Court grant a tentative restraining order that prevents DHS 553 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 5: from denying Congress people the right to inspect immigration attention 554 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 5: facilities without notice. Previously, DHS had been asserting that they 555 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 5: had a seven day period of notice that they had 556 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 5: to give before they could inspect attention facilities. 557 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 3: The judges found that that's not justified. 558 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 5: Another eight attorneys have left or announced intentions to leave 559 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 5: the US Attorney's office in Minnesota. They are now operating 560 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 5: at less than half the capacity of assistant USA attorneys 561 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 5: that they had in the early Biden administration. They've also 562 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 5: lost several non attorney staff, and the Star Tribune reports 563 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 5: that this is due to concerns about selective prosecution and 564 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 5: the exclusion of state and local investigators from the good 565 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 5: and pretty cases. In yesterday, one federal prosecutor said, and 566 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,959 Speaker 5: I'm quoting for the transcript here, this system sucks. This 567 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 5: job sucks. Another quotation. I'm here just trying to make 568 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 5: sure that the agency understand how important it is to 569 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 5: comply with all the court orders, which they have not 570 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 5: done in the past or currently. I'm here as a 571 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 5: bridge and a liaison between the one that in jail, 572 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 5: because if I walk out sometimes I wish you would 573 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 5: just hold me in contempt your honor, so that they 574 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 5: could have a full twenty four hours of sleep. Yikes, 575 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 5: this is a person on the ragged edge. Yeah, that 576 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 5: is someone who is breaking Yeah. 577 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: I mean. 578 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 5: You can look up her caseload and it is legitimately insane. Yeah, 579 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 5: And it has only got bigger since the start of 580 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 5: the year. 581 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 3: You can see why. 582 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 5: People are are quitting this job, even if they don't 583 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 5: have a moral issue with it, because it's an inhumane 584 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 5: amount of work. 585 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 4: And again, I'm not coming at this from a point 586 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 4: of a lot of sympathy, but it's not funny. 587 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's funny. It's just funny. 588 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 5: It's funny to see them so obviously frustrated that the 589 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 5: agencies are just not complying with what they asked him Doestually, 590 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 5: I was reading the transcript today to judge in the case, 591 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 5: was like, look, you can tell me the agencies are 592 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 5: not complying. But like, if I have a problem in 593 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 5: the restaurant, I don't walk in there and try and 594 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 5: find the exact person who's baking the bread. I talked 595 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 5: to the restaurant, and the restaurant sorted out you are 596 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 5: part of the executive branch. Yeah, this is on you. 597 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 5: Like it was a good, little little core exchange. And 598 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 5: then finally, NBC has obtained a leaked email from Greg 599 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 5: Bovino showing tensions between himself and todd Lyons. Lions is 600 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 5: the acting Director of Immigration and custom to Enforcement.

And then mister Bovino said 605 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 5: in the email quote, mister Lyons said he was in charge, 606 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 5: and I corrected him, saying, I report to Corey Lewandowski. 607 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 5: Garrison's just made a face for those. 608 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you want to hear more about our 609 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: dear buddy, Greg, Robert and I recorded anisode with Jack 610 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: O'Brien from Behind the Bastards that's dropping next Thursday, all 611 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: about Greg Bavino. 612 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: Greg's been on a bit of a tour on his 613 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: way back to California. 614 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, he went to Mount Rushmore to record like a 615 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 5: moto video and then he was spotted drinking a glass 616 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 5: of red wine in Las Vegas.

Again, we're not going to relitigate that. 684 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 8: But what we have to focus on is going forward 685 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 8: to ensure that there are not questions about the elections. 686 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 8: And that's why Republicans are working at the federal and 687 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 8: the state levels to clean those things up and clean 688 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 8: up voter rolls to make sure illegals are not voting, 689 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 8: for example. That's what the Save Act is about. We 690 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 8: have to continue that and the President has keeping a 691 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 8: proper focus on it. This investigation is to ensure that 692 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 8: all the questions that about the elections in Fulton County 693 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 8: are investigated properly so that people have confidence in the system. Again, 694 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 8: that's very important, but. 695 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 7: There are really no questions about election integry from twenty 696 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 7: twenty that have not been asked and answered. Even the 697 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 7: Republican Nope, the Republican led governor has pointed out it's 698 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 7: been years and no one has ever come forward under 699 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 7: oath with evidence of fraud in Georgia. 700 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 2: But let me ask you pretty absurd stuff. 701 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're not going to reltigate it as we 702 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: rel litigate. 703 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 5: It, yeah, Yeah, and just giving no evidence, just being like, oh, 704 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 5: it's very controversial. 705 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: Everyone knows, such a weasly answer. 706 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 707 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 2: Republican Governor Brian Camp has been very clear that there 708 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 2: was absolutely no fraud happening in Georgia during twenty twenty, 709 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 2: and if there was any attempt to meddle with the election, 710 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 2: it is this phone call that Trump made to the 711 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 2: Georgia Secretary of State, Yeah, asking to find a certain 712 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 2: number of votes that itself should have resulted in Trump 713 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: going to prison. Yea like South Korea style, like you're done, 714 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 2: You're finished. You can't can't do that. 715 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, that is like the most transparent election interference. 716 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 2: The way that Trump's court case in Fulton County related 717 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: to his attempts to meddle into twenty twenty election is 718 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 2: just a complete disaster due to coruption within the Fulton 719 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: County courses tom itself. One of the worst things to 720 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 2: happen during this like Biden era, is the mishandling of 721 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,760 Speaker 2: the court cases around Trump's attempts to over overturn the election. Yeah, 722 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 2: and especially like looking at at what South Korea did 723 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 2: after their president tried to take over the country a 724 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 2: year or two ago is like, oh, yeah, that's very 725 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 2: clearly what we should have done with this guy. 726 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, people could have done better. 727 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 2: And Mike Johnson just keeps making really concerning statements on 728 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 2: the news about about quote unquote nationalizing elections. 729 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: I follow up on elections. The President says that he 730 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: wants Republicans to nationalize elections. 731 00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 4: Do you agree with him? 732 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: And do you have confidence in how elections are conducted? 733 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: Right now? 734 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: Heading into the midterm. 735 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 8: We have thoughtful debate about our election system every election cycle, 736 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 8: and sometimes in between. We know it's in our system. 737 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 8: The states have been in charge of a ministering their elections. 738 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 8: What you're hearing from the President is his frustration about 739 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 8: the lack of some of the Blue states, frankly, of 740 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 8: enforcing these things. 741 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 2: Make Johnson goes on to discuss possible fraud in California specifically, 742 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 2: though admits that he has no evidence of said fraud. 743 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 2: One more clip. 744 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,280 Speaker 8: In some of the states, like in California, for example, 745 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 8: I mean they hold the elections open for weeks after 746 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 8: election day. That's just one thing that bothers so many people. 747 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 8: We had three House Republican candidates who are head on 748 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 8: election day in the last election cycle, and every time 749 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 8: a new tranche of ballots came in, they just magically 750 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 8: whittled away until their leads were lost. And no series 751 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 8: of ballots that were counted after election day were our 752 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 8: candidates ahead on any of those counts. It looks on 753 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 8: its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove no, because 754 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 8: it happens so far upstream. But we need more confidence 755 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 8: in the American people in the election system. 756 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 3: Absurd, Yeah, completely, bonkys, sir, I. 757 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: Fear that more ballots have been counted and results have changed. 758 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what elections are. 759 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 2: You cannot place a vote in California after election day, no, 760 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 2: but they do count mail in ballots that have been 761 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 2: postmarked on or before election day, which is what he's referencing. 762 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 2: But he's yeah, miss, he's purposely misconstruting it to make 763 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 2: it sound way more, way more nefarious than what it 764 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 2: actually is. If you've placed a mail in vote on 765 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 2: or before election day in California, that vote will be counted. 766 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 3: That is. 767 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 2: That is how the elections in California work, not this 768 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 2: magically keeping keeping the election open for weeks afterwards. People 769 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 2: can continue to vote that's that's not that's not true. 770 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: It's giving like a very specific sports reference where that 771 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: the announcers like and the team with the most points 772 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: won the game. That's literally what he's doing. He's like, 773 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: as as the votes recounted, the results changed. 774 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 2: They changed and someone won. Who is not what I 775 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 2: wanted to happen. Uh. 776 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, shock, horror. 777 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 2: Can I prove there's fraud? No, But well I continue 778 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 2: to say there's fraud. Yes, Mike Johnson. 779 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 5: It had been reported that they were trying to leverage 780 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 5: the ice raids in Minnesota against getting electoral role information 781 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 5: from Minnesota as well. Yes, So, like this is this 782 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 5: is not just his fascination with with Georgia. Like, this 783 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 5: is all deeply concerning as we go into like midterm year. 784 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 5: But we will find out soon. 785 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,359 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, especially as Congress is the entity that is 786 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 2: supposed to be there to help to ensure that states 787 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 2: run the elections fairly and that we do not have 788 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 2: a nationalized voting system. 789 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 790 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 2: And the fact that the Speaker of the House seems 791 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 2: to be unaware siding siding with the executive branch with 792 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 2: this idea of nationalizing elections or at least trying to 793 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 2: like manufacture consent. Trump's claim there very very worrying. I 794 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 2: now want to update a story we talked about almost 795 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 2: a year ago, based on some new information that has 796 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 2: come out. In January, a judge has unsealed a State 797 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 2: Department memo from March twenty twenty five that confirms that 798 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 2: Ramesa os Turk's visa was revoked and the government sought 799 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,959 Speaker 2: to deport her on the basis of oz Turk co 800 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 2: authoring and op ed in the student newspaper at Tufts University. 801 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 2: This memo admits that DHS could not provide any evidence 802 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 2: that oz Turk ever engaged in any eighties Semitic activity, 803 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,839 Speaker 2: was involved in Students for Justice in Palestine, or has 804 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 2: ever expressed support for terrorism as claimed by government officials. 805 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 2: Last year. Churchill McLoughlin told CNN at the time of 806 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 2: oz Turk's arrest that DHS and ICE investigations had found 807 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: that oz Turk had quote engaged in activities in support 808 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 2: of hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing 809 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 2: of Americans unquote. On the contrary, this newly unsealed memo 810 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 2: from the State Department reads, quote, while os Turk has 811 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 2: been involved with actions protesting Tuft's relationship with Israel.

The memo 816 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,280 Speaker 2: goes on to state that though a previous dhs report 817 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 2: quote implies a connection between oz Turk and the now 818 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 2: banned Tuft's Students for Justice in Palestine, the report presents 819 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 2: no evidence other than os Turk's membership in Graduate Students 820 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 2: for Palestine, which supported proposals to Tufts which were also 821 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 2: supported by Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine, nor as 822 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 2: dhs ICE or HSI shown any evidence that oz Turk 823 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 2: was involved in any of the activities which resulted in 824 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 2: Students for Justice in Palestine being suspended from Tufts unquote. 825 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 2: The Bureau of Consular Affairs VISA office identified no reporting 826 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 2: specific to oz Turk on US government interagency databases.

That will 894 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 5: result in the withdrawal of troops from the points of contact, 895 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 5: as well as the withdrawal of SDF troops from Commishlo 896 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 5: and Hesseka and the entry of the Syrian Ministry of 897 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 5: the Interior.
