I feel like it's goes down like 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.320 live aid. You know, it's the greatest moment in live music. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.800 It is interesting that they are showing it on national 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.720 news desk. Fox News did not did not decide to 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.560 air air the all of Eric at halftime show, so 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.080 instead you have to tune into TBN whatever that is 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.119 in National news desk. So let's get us some actual 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:21.719 news though. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.040 Sure, real news. Okay. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.120 So, Portland, Oregon has been the site of some recent 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:33.960 noteworthy ice protests. On Saturday, the thirty first of January, 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.560 there was a large Union march on the Ice Building 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.640 on McAdams Street in Portland, Oregon. This was like basically 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.640 every union in Portland. It was the largest union march 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.920 that we've had here in like twenty years. Somewhere along 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.320 those lines. About five to ten thousand people showed up. Wow, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.679 when I heard it was ten k because I wound 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.520 up there. I didn't even planning to go, but I 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.920 showed up with a friend, and as we were kind 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.240 of watching the crowd pass, some buddy of ours came 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.640 up who knows one of the people who organized the 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.200 march and was like, yeah, they're expecting like ten thousand people. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:07.960 And I was like, there's no way they're going to 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.160 get ten thousand fucking people out here. And then as 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.040 the crowd went past me for like twenty straight minutes, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.040 and I was like, yeah, that might be ten thousand people. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.680 That really is quite a lot of motherfucking people. It 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.120 was an extremely diverse crowd, which I mean in the 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.480 age sense primarily it's Portlands, so not in the in 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:26.840 any other sense of the word. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:34.120 Yeah, those protests tend to have you know, older folks, teenagers, families, teachers, a. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.280 Lot of older folks, a lot of little kids, kids 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.080 who were like eight to twelve years old, because it 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.159 was just suppose people were like the basic round of 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.479 march was doing a circle around the Ice facility, and 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.240 then there was like sound equipment and music set up 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.920 on a nearby park. So I think I don't believe 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.159 the plan was an extended confrontation with Ice, which is 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.520 what made what came next so surprising, which is that 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.800 we start walking towards where the route of march is heading. 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.240 We're kind of in like the middle of the crowd probably, 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.200 and we see a cloud and it's like three point 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.240 thirty in the afternoon. So the people I'm with, who 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.240 have all been through their share of Portland protests, are like, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.400 that can't be tear gas. It's not even four pm 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.800 and this is the Liberal March. There's no way they've 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.440 gassed it already. Like I saw the front of the march, 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.240 it was a bunch of people in their fifties. Like, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.120 they're not forcing the issue with Ice, I don't think, 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.680 but apparently pray the claims made by Ice. When the 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.960 crowd reached the Ice building, people began throwing water bottles. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.640 So obviously that's a situation that can't be allowed to continue. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.960 So they gas the absolute fuck out of the march, 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.880 and they gased it so much that the cloud of 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.159 gas spread to cover pretty much the entire march, including 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.279 the people who were nowhere near the front of the 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.400 march yet. So as we're walking towards it, we've become 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.080 aware about halfway towards getting to it that like, okay, 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.800 that's not smoke, that is, in fact gas. Some of 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.120 us had masks. I did not, So I'm like, well, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.400 I'm gonna have a bad time. This is straight up 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.920 not going to be fun. And the problem with it 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.240 was because of where they gassed us. There were kind 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.600 of two streets of buildings on either side, so you 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.480 basically got you're in like a valley almost. You've got 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.160 steep canyon walls kind of on either side of you. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.840 And there was no wind that day, so you've just 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:31.200 got this thick cloud of gas smoke, and ten thousand 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:37.080 people crammed in between two pillars of buildings. So it 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.080 was a very bad time. A lot of kids got gassed. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.560 I saw a number of children in significant distress, like 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.800 little kids. A lot of old people wound up in 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.480 significant distress. It was straight up a bad time, and 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.720 it continued for the next day. There was another march 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.400 the next day that started at City Hall. This kind 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.840 of galvanized people in Portland to specifically take up the 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:04.120 charge of protesting for the city to basically not renew 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.320 or cancel ICE's contract to use the building that they're 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.560 based out of. So there was a large march on Sunday. 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.400 I showed up as the march reached the Ice area 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.960 because I didn't want to walk across town, and sure 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:19.600 enough we get there in maybe an hour or so 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.440 after the crowd arrives. There's like a thousand or so people, 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.680 and it's still a very young crowd. This is not 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.840 mostly people who have been doing the protest thing in 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.440 Portland for a long time. Like I saw a lot 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.160 of girls who couldn't have been older than sixteen or 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.120 seventeen out on Sunday and they gassed again, and I 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.400 couldn't tell you. They were letting people like right up 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.079 to the front of the ICE building, which they had 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.160 gassed folks for throwing water bottles kind of near the 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.679 day before. So there's never any consistency with these sort 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.559 of things, And eventually they just decided to gas the 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.679 shit out of everybody again to come and snatch people. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.560 And that's kind of the story is people in Portland 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.839 are really pissed again because they gassed the big Lib march. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.120 All of the unions are really angry, all of the 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.920 nurses are really angry. The city government's angry. The Mayor 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.079 of Portland, Keith Wilson, made a statement that all of 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.079 the ICE should quit their jobs, should resign. I don't 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.199 know that. I think that they're actually going to kick 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.920 ICE out of its building now. To be fair, I 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.000 don't think that ICE is really getting much done in 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.280 that building because it's locked down completely. They are using 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.000 facilities up in Washington for the actual immigration stuff for 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.320 the most part, so it's become I think it's largely 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:32.080 a symbol. Yeah, a symbolic kind of dill. So we'll see. 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.120 I don't know what's going to happen next, but yeah, 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.800 that's the update from here. 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.480 The tear gas air is spicy and bad for our health. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.800 Yeah, I mean, it always bums me out to see 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.560 really young people like kids get tear gased, especially like 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:49.440 teenage girls. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.680 Because there's data and not. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.560 Nearly as much as there should because the government really 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:59.160 doesn't like studying this on how tear gas affects, particularly 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:03.160 like reproductive health, and it's bad. There's evidence from places 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.640 like Gaza that it can cause miscarriages. There's documentation and 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.760 miscarriages and at least three different countries as a result 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.080 of tear gas use, although again it's not the kind 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.520 of documentation you'd want for a medical thing because you 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.920 can't really isolate out other factors that may have been 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:20.000 happening at the same time, because you're trying to figure 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.920 out what this and other things are doing to people's 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.760 bodies in a place like Gaza where you have no 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.680 kind of like clinical control. But outside of that, there's 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.680 evidence of missed periods that it can delay or cause 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.640 unusually painful periods. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.319 Send people into early menopause. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.000 Jeez. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.719 Yeah, there's some evidence for that. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.439 It's kind of a When I brought this up online, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.080 someone got very angry at me because they're like, well, 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.920 it's not proven. I think there's enough data to tell people, 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.760 especially if you've got a uterus, wear a mask when 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:48.600 you go protest. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.000 Yeah, I think also, how are we going to obtain 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:53.360 proof in this scenario? 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:53.800 Right? 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:54.760 What are they going to do? 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.000 Yeah, it's not very easy for us to do. We 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.560 can't really do it just a double blind trial, right. Yeah. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.920 Somebody brought up like, if it was bad for reproductive health, 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:04.839 then all of the women in the military, because you 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.640 get tear gased as part of military training, then that 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.800 would have shown up before and it hasn't. And I 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.880 immediately found in about three seconds the largest like study 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.520 done so far on the effective tear gas that specifically noted. Yeah, 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.600 they did some studies on hair tear gas affects people 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:21.319 in the sixties. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.160 They didn't look at. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:26.600 Women, weren't interested, they didn't care, not at all a priority. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.760 Yeah, completely ignored it. Shocked, shocked to hear this. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:35.080 So anyway, just like we're a respirator. A half faced respirator, 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.360 you know, is cheaper. I would recommend a full face 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.680 because tear gas sucks on your eyes. They're not crazy expensive. 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.520 You don't have to get a nice gas mask. Just 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.880 get a respirator. It's better than nothing. 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.000 Yeah, I like my respirator. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:49.840 Yep. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.320 So first, just a couple of small things that we 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.760 wanted to note that we might come back to covering later. First, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.360 the US has now admits it that it had a 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.880 small contingent troops on the ground in Nigeria. I wrote 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.600 on my newsletter about US drone strikes in Nigeria, what 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.840 they're doing there and who they're targeting with those drone strikes, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:17.080 alongside the long running issues with civilian casualties with airborne 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.079 raids in Nigeria on my news letters of people want 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.120 to read that they can. And secondly, I wanted to 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.080 mention that Judge Anna Reyes has stated Secretary g Nomes 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.040 decision that would have rendered three hundred and fifty thousand 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.800 Haitians without legal status when she was going to let 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:35.800 the temporary protected status expire. I have explained TPS several 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.360 times on ED and in my first Darien series, so 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.160 I'm not going to go into detail about it here, 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:42.640 but if you'd like to listen to those, you could 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:43.600 find out more about it. 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.440 Last thing before our first ad break, Bill and Hillary 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.520 Clinton have agreed to testify before Congress is a part 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.880 of the Epstein investigation. A vote to hold the Clinton's 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.200 in criminal contempt of Congress was scheduled for this week 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.720 before they finally agreed to be to at two hearings 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.720 in late February and the Clintons have now called for 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:09.800 these hearings to be public. This follows a slew of 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.760 new Epstein documents that are released by the DOJ last week, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.360 which Robert, you'll be you'll be covering on Behind the 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:17.320 Bastards soon. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.640 Yes, yes, we will be talking about the things revealed 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.120 in the new Epstein file releases, the three million or 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.920 so documents that just came out. Yes, we'll be talking 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.400 about that on Behind the Bastards. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.240 Not next week but the week after. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.080 Yeah, probably like the week after something like that. There's 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.800 a lot of good stuff in there, a lot of 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.600 brock Pierce in this set of releases. If you've been 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.680 curious as to what the guy who invented Tether, the 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:47.120 cryptocurrency tether was up to, with Jeffrey Epstein as a spoiler, 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.600 it was molesting people. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:50.920 Jesus Christ. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.800 Yeah, well allegedly, we don't know. We don't know that 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.560 it was molesting. They were described as girls, repeatedly described 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.280 as girls in the emails, but between brock Pierce, the 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.440 Mighty Ducks guy, and Jeffrey Epstein. But that could mean anything, 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.439 you know, that could mean anything. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.320 You'd be talking about the Elon Musk emails in there. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.560 There's some Elon stuff in there, it's nothing definitive. The 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.880 downside of it is Elon has a leg to stand 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.760 on when he's like I never went to the island. 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:19.960 That said. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.840 You can interpret the emails one of two ways. Because 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.240 I saw an Elon musk fans, I'd be like, see, 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.840 he was clearly just trying to blow him off. That's 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.760 not how I interpret Elon's emails to Epstein. I think 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.800 he really wanted to go to that fuck island. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.480 What night will the wildest post he be or something? 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.800 Yeah, he was like I want to know where, But 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.600 he was also talking about like the whole island area right, 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.440 like where the wildest parties are that he wanted. So 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.760 he does have some plausible deniability. But he was lying 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.400 about not being in touch with Epstein and also JK 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:57.240 Rowling in touch with Epstein. Oh shit, save yes. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.360 Saved him seats for the opening of. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.440 Her play, Oh of the Harry Potter play on Broadway. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.720 Got Jeffrey Epstein a seat. God, just when you thought 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.480 you're gonna be a worse fucking person. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:10.120 Incredible. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.560 Yeah, what a third, what a disgrace to our national Yeah, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.560 I mean we have lots of those, I guess, but yeah. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.600 I can't believe this one person has ruined the reputation 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.240 of Britain, the. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.760 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, previously unblemished 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.560 in santuries of history Jesus Christ until the turf Wizard 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:29.520 Lady came alone. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.040 Yeah, the first bed English person anyway. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:37.760 So yeah, On February twenty sixth, Hillary will be testifying, 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.840 and on the twenty seventh, Bill will be testifying in 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.440 hearings that should be televised live to the public. 0:15:44.960 --> 0:16:01.520 Interesting, okay, let's go on, britt all right, we're back, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.760 and I have a fantastic news Look what Look what 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.520 I found?

I cannot tell you how disappointed I am 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.000 that I will not be hearing them perform on Super 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.720 Bowl Sunday. You can see just the disappointment in my 0:16:54.800 --> 0:17:00.600 face right now. M This Wednesday morning, February fourth, Tom 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.159 Homan announced that they're pulling seven hundred federal agents out 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:09.440 of Minneapolis, though two thousand will remain in the city. 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:11.960 That's so many agents. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.200 Yeah, that's so that much. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.040 Even seven hundred sounded like. 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.600 There's still a lot of ICE and Border patrol on 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:20.000 the ground. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:20.760 Wow. 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:26.320 Two thousand was a surge that they did earlier this year. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:28.879 That that was when they really kind of flooded it 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.720 with ICE agents. So in two thousand is still two 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.679 thousands is still a massive amount of ices overall capacity. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.560 That these aren't all ICE agents, right, like they deputize 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.879 atf and marshals and other things. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.840 But a lot of Border patrol guys here. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.520 Yeah, I don't know if that's who the seven hundred 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.000 who there was drawing are. 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.720 It's a mix, it's not. I don't think they're from 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:49.520 just one agency. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:51.919 Okay, Yeah, there are a lot of Border patrol you 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.520 see that a lot, right, Like the Border patrol agents 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.760 clearly love this, right, They're they're getting per DM, they're 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.840 getting travel pay. They make more money than they do 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.600 on the border and they don't have to like drive 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:05.800 around in the middle of nowhere. 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.080 They call it going on Safari. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.960 Homan has cited an increasing cooperation by Minnesota authorities. He 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.320 was talking about handing over detained people who would be deportable, 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.720 I think, But I have not seen a similar statement 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.400 from state authorities in Minnesota, at least at a time, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.639 So take that with a pinch of salt. Right, A 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.400 lot of what we see coming out of drum DHS 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:30.520 just straight up isn't true. 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:35.560 They have been talking about trying to increase the cooperation 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:39.399 with ICE detainers in the local prisons and jails. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.960 Yeah, and I think that would be what this cooperation 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.320 would be. It would be like either cooperating with ICE 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.879 detainers or even alerting ICE if they thought someone was deportable. 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.679 An interesting thing of note as well is earlier this 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:56.399 week the military troops that were placed on standby have 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:03.080 been unplaced on standby, soh not looking like those guys 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.640 in Alaska or North Carolina will be deploying to Minneapolis. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:12.119 In some other Minneapolis related news, Dawn Lemon, friend of 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:17.120 the pod, was arrested Thursday, January twenty nine and now 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.480 faces civil rights charges for allegedly violating Face Act, which 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.120 prohibits interfering with reproductive health services or people exercising religious 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.760 freedom at a place of worship. On January eighteenth, Lemon 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.160 reported on a protest at City's church in Saint Paul, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.760 where one of the pastors is also the head of 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:37.119 the local ice field office. A magistrate, judge and an 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.199 appeals court previously dismissed the charges against Lemon before the 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.280 case was brought before a grand jury in Minnesota. Six 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:48.440 activists and one other journalists are also facing charges. We 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.600 reported on this protest after it happened, and yeah, the 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.000 DOJ has been trying to pin pin Lemon on this 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.440 for the past few weeks. Yeah, probably not a great 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:03.040 sign for you know, general general First Amendment activity. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.240 No, no, that's a pretty pretty bleak side. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.160 Actually, as frustrating as the as it is to start 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:12.200 waiving the Jimmy Kimmel Don Lemon flag, you know. That's 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:13.760 that's that is the situation we're in. 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:15.240 Yeah, it's not good. 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.960 The journalists they arrested was the head of the National 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:19.200 Association of Black Journalists. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.600 What's she Georgia Fort is her name? 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.119 Yes, yes, I do want to say, actually that like 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.880 when we talk about protections for journalists, like journalists, yes, 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.040 can often be the people who were first targeted for 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.480 like things that violate freedom of speech. Right, Like when 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:37.439 governments are going to violate freedom of speech, they can 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:41.080 go off to journalists first. But like when someone is 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:46.119 recording ICE operations, they are doing citizen journalism. They are 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.639 protected by exactly the same rights that we have as 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.400 journalists who are doing this as our full time job. 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.520 There isn't a special first Amendment for us. And so 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.480 when the border patrol agents killed Alex Pretty, they killed 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.520 someone who is at that time engaged to journalism too. 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:05.320 And like, I'm to see journalistic bodies standing up, not 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.520 just for people who employed his full time jeneists have 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:09.680 put all of our rights to document and record. 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.680 Yeah, all of the legal observers who are filming ICE 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.200 as well that are being targeted with intimidation, being pulled over. 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:17.720 Having guns pointed at them, etc. 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:18.640 Yeah. 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.920 Do you want to talk about the Senate funding for ICE? 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:22.320 Oh? 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:22.720 Do I? 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:27.439 So the partial government shut down, which did start last week, 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.639 was ended on Tuesday after the DJs bill was stripped 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.560 out of the now one point two trillion dollar annual 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.959 funding package. DHS's funding will lapse on Friday the thirteenth, 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.000 and negotiation. 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:46.439 Why not. 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:53.440 While negotiations continue on a DHS funding bill, Congressional Democrats 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.399 are pushing for agency reforms like judicial warrants and no 0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:01.359 masked agents, while Republicans are signaling minor consents like having 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:03.920 a border patrol and ice wear body cameras. 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:06.760 Yeah, should we talk a little bit more about body cameras? 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:09.919 You know what my favorite tarthic let's talk about body cameras. 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.840 A Yeah, I love to talk about a body worn camera. 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:15.399 Time was a flat circle. 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:17.080 Yeah, Okay. 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:21.800 So Christie Nome this week announced that ice agents in 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.080 Minnesota were going to wear body worn cameras going forward. 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:27.320 And I've been kind of disappointed a lot of the 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:31.000 reporting on this. What is I think missing is that that, 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.080 like there was a twenty twenty two executive order right 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.840 signed by Biden the ordered federal law enforcement to use 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:40.560 body worn cameras. Funding for them was included in the 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.719 twenty twenty one for SCOOL year appropriations built. Nome has 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.040 said they will grow the program as funds become available, 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:49.880 but those funds have been available for some time right 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.560 in twenty twenty four document ice document that talked about 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:57.399 their pilot program study. They said, quote full implementation is 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:01.359 expected by September thirtieth, twenty twenty five. Eagle eared listers 0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.359 will noticed that it in the past. However, in twenty 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.159 twenty five I spagan rolling this back. They issued a 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.560 directive which continued only implementing the body worn camera program 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.760 in the certain pilot program cities. The Trump administration, in 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.560 its second term, has called Congress to cut funding for 0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:21.199 body worn cameras by seventy five percent and reduce the 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:23.879 staffing of the body worn camera program from twenty two 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:28.480 people to just three. They have also cut oversight offices 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:32.480 within DHS like oh IDO. O IDEO is like the 0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:34.879 nichest level of DHS. Understand that when you know of 0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.720 o IDEO, I think Biden created it. I actually I've 0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:42.240 seen them once. It's the Office of the Immigration Detention ombardsmen. 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:48.160 They came to the outdoor detention sites in hercumber which 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:50.359 seems to be something of a concession that by the 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.040 administration at the time denied people were detained in those sites. 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.119 It had one hundred plus employees at start of the 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:59.600 Trump administration. It also has three now, according to Reuters, 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.080 this most recent bill, as Garrison said, does include funding 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.119 and a mandate for their use. A federal judge in 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:09.480 Chicago had already ordered agents there to wear cameras in 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:12.399 November of last year. I should note that I also 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.879 looked up the Ice body warm camera policy and it 0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.960 theoretically now in soo far of any of these policies 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:20.520 are being followed, right, prohibits them for using body worn 0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:24.080 cameras for the quote sole purpose of recording people engaged 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.480 in First Amendment protected activities. So they can just use 0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:30.040 their phones for that. I guess that's what they've been doing. 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:33.400 I mean, yeah, this is like part of the frustration 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.119 around this bill is you do have humor pushing for 0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:39.000 certain things like like not wearing masks and not doing 0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.680 the rolling raids, but also emphasizing, you know, you want 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:44.400 the masks off and the cameras on, as if that's 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:47.680 going to affect the behavior of agents on the ground. Meanwhile, 0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:51.959 during the killing of Renee Good, the officer that shot 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.240 and killed her was filming the whole thing on his phone. 0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:59.600 He was filming on his own cell phones. So obviously, yeah, 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:03.960 having a camera on the agent is not going to 0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:05.879 prevent them from killing someone. 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:08.440 Because they think it's good what they're doing. Yeah, they 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:09.360 don't think it's bad. 0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:13.080 You have to understand that both the agents who shot 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:17.000 Alex Pretty actually had body worn cameras and they're actually 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:21.160 CBP agents. So CBP or BP, I should say, right, 0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:22.440 Customs are border. 0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.920 Protection, one of them is CPP, one of them's PP. 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:25.560 That's correct. 0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:29.200 Yeah, that's what they're they're both CBP agents. But within 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:33.320 CBP you have BP and OFO. Okay, they get really 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.159 mad if you get this wrong. Literally, I've got an 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:37.360 email once for the subject line. 0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:38.080 Come on, man. 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:43.760 So they were both Customs and Border Protection agents. Generally 0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:47.119 border patrol. Border patrol is part of Customs and Border Protection, right, 0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:49.399 the other part of the Office of Field Operations. Border 0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:51.800 Patrol ceased using their cameras early in the Trump administration, 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:55.360 citing an issue with the bluetooth used by the cameras 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:58.399 that could make them detectable. This is a thing that 0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:03.239 can happen. It is possible. There's a GitHub script for this. 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:07.280 Whether the justifiers stopping using them is an entirely different question. 0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.080 Both the agents in the Pretty shooting were wearing body 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:13.360 can but we have not seen that footage. The two 0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:16.720 agents have been identified by Pro Publica as Border Patrol 0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:21.880 agent Zus jesse Or Choa and Customs and Border Protection 0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:27.000 Officer Field Operations Officer Raimundo Gutierrez. A Choa joined twenty eighteen. 0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:31.320 Gutierrez joined in twenty fourteen. Gutierrez is part of the 0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:36.359 office Field Operations Special Response Team that is generally a 0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:40.120 team with training in weapons and tactics who would serve 0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:41.920 high risk warrants. 0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:44.120 Do raids like a Swart style. 0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:46.960 Yeah, it's another word for swat, I think because what 0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:50.000 became somewhat you know, they decided they want a different 0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:52.680 word for it. Sure, pro Publica I got an interview 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:55.080 with the Choa's ex wife who said, quote, by the 0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:56.879 time the couple split in twenty twenty one, he had 0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.000 become a gun enthusiast, with about twenty five rifles, pistols 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.960 and shotguns. Into much as that matters, I guess that 0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:06.080 was the only interview that could get about them. 0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:08.960 Both of the men are from South Texas. 0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:13.639 To circle back to the funding bill for DHS and 0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:16.480 these potential reforms being pushed for at you know, multiple 0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:19.000 levels of the democratic establishment, you know, with Schumer being 0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.480 a little bit lighter and obviously people like AOC and 0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:27.760 to leave pushing for more extreme measures like abolishing the 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:31.960 agency advice, which is unlikely to happen in this funding 0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:35.399 bill as the Republicans control Congress. But still there is 0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.320 a spectrum of beliefs among the party at the moment. 0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:41.920 And to get a look at what average regular registered 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.760 Democrats believe, there's a new poll from you gov that 0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:49.240 came out this week based on data from late January 0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:54.720 early February that have seventy nine percent of Democrats saying 0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:59.120 they support abolishing ICE. Abolishing ICE is also up eight 0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:03.560 points within the attendants and more people overall support abolishing 0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:08.359 ICE at forty six percent to forty four percent opposing. 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.639 So, just to finish up on our immigration coverage to 0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.400 the week, we also saw Judge Cobb with the DC 0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.160 District Court grant a tentative restraining order that prevents DHS 0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.600 from denying Congress people the right to inspect immigration attention 0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:26.320 facilities without notice. Previously, DHS had been asserting that they 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:28.640 had a seven day period of notice that they had 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:30.719 to give before they could inspect attention facilities. 0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.840 The judges found that that's not justified. 0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:38.240 Another eight attorneys have left or announced intentions to leave 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:42.080 the US Attorney's office in Minnesota. They are now operating 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.440 at less than half the capacity of assistant USA attorneys 0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:48.960 that they had in the early Biden administration. They've also 0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:52.240 lost several non attorney staff, and the Star Tribune reports 0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:55.120 that this is due to concerns about selective prosecution and 0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.880 the exclusion of state and local investigators from the good 0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:02.040 and pretty cases. In yesterday, one federal prosecutor said, and 0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:04.959 I'm quoting for the transcript here, this system sucks. This 0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:09.120 job sucks. Another quotation. I'm here just trying to make 0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:11.440 sure that the agency understand how important it is to 0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:13.680 comply with all the court orders, which they have not 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.440 done in the past or currently. I'm here as a 0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.120 bridge and a liaison between the one that in jail, 0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:21.600 because if I walk out sometimes I wish you would 0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:23.600 just hold me in contempt your honor, so that they 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.480 could have a full twenty four hours of sleep. Yikes, 0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.640 this is a person on the ragged edge. Yeah, that 0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:32.280 is someone who is breaking Yeah. 0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:32.960 I mean. 0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:38.440 You can look up her caseload and it is legitimately insane. Yeah, 0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:41.120 And it has only got bigger since the start of 0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:41.480 the year. 0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:42.800 You can see why. 0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:45.240 People are are quitting this job, even if they don't 0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.600 have a moral issue with it, because it's an inhumane 0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:49.280 amount of work. 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:52.000 And again, I'm not coming at this from a point 0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.160 of a lot of sympathy, but it's not funny. 0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:56.680 Yeah, yeah, it's funny. It's just funny. 0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:59.160 It's funny to see them so obviously frustrated that the 0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:02.080 agencies are just not complying with what they asked him Doestually, 0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:03.920 I was reading the transcript today to judge in the case, 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:05.719 was like, look, you can tell me the agencies are 0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:07.520 not complying. But like, if I have a problem in 0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:09.360 the restaurant, I don't walk in there and try and 0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:11.880 find the exact person who's baking the bread. I talked 0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.000 to the restaurant, and the restaurant sorted out you are 0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:16.480 part of the executive branch. Yeah, this is on you. 0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:20.680 Like it was a good, little little core exchange. And 0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:23.520 then finally, NBC has obtained a leaked email from Greg 0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:27.960 Bovino showing tensions between himself and todd Lyons. Lions is 0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:31.000 the acting Director of Immigration and custom to Enforcement. Lions 0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:34.440 attempted to prevent Veno from engaging in widespread sweeps in 0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:37.000 which agents kind of rum around check papers on anyone 0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.600 they think might not be a citizen, and encouraged him 0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.840 to do targeted operations instead. And then mister Bovino said 0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.720 in the email quote, mister Lyons said he was in charge, 0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:49.760 and I corrected him, saying, I report to Corey Lewandowski. 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.280 Garrison's just made a face for those. 0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:57.360 Yeah, And if you want to hear more about our 0:30:57.400 --> 0:31:00.680 dear buddy, Greg, Robert and I recorded anisode with Jack 0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:04.480 O'Brien from Behind the Bastards that's dropping next Thursday, all 0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:05.960 about Greg Bavino. 0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:10.040 Greg's been on a bit of a tour on his 0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:11.280 way back to California. 0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:17.200 Yeah, he went to Mount Rushmore to record like a 0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:20.040 moto video and then he was spotted drinking a glass 0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.480 of red wine in Las Vegas. Yeah, it seems like 0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:23.720 they made him road trip. 0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.400 Like a weirdo who's drinking. You're drinking the house wine 0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.680 at a casino in Vegas. Come the fuck on, Greg, 0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:36.080 grow up, Greg, have a fucking cocktail. Jesus Christ. 0:31:36.680 --> 0:31:39.680 I think he's back in Imperial now. But it was 0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:42.080 it seems that they made him take a road trip home. 0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:44.960 They didn't fly him back, wouldn't spring for the plane trip. 0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:47.280 Yeah, he's quite remarkable. 0:31:47.320 --> 0:32:05.800 Incredible gestapo, unbelievable. All right, we are back. Last Wednesday, 0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:09.480 January twenty eighth, the FBI executed a raid on the 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:13.200 Fulton County Election Office outside of Atlanta, Georgia, as a 0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.440 part of an investigation into Trump's claim that the twenty 0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:20.400 twenty election was rigged against him. The special Agent in 0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.720 charge of the FBI Atlanta Field Office resigned a week 0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:27.000 before the warrant was served. This search warrant was signed 0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:30.160 by a United States Magistrate judge and instructed investigators to 0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:34.440 seize quote all records relating to violations of Title fifty 0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:39.160 two US Code two zero seven zero one and two 0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:45.720 five one one, with these violations occurring quote after October twelfth, 0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:50.640 twenty twenty unquote. The former statute here two seven oh 0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:54.440 one relates to retaining and preserving election records for twenty 0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:59.000 two months after an election, and the latter two five 0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:03.000 one one relates to voter fraud or threats, intimidation and 0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:08.320 coersion against voters. The records that were to be seized 0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:11.600 are listed on the warrant as quote, all physical ballots 0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:14.680 from the twenty twenty general election in Fulton County, all 0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:18.760 tabulator tapes for every voting machine, all ballot images produced 0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.520 during the original ballot count all voter roles from the 0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.960 twenty twenty general election in Fulton County from absentee, early 0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:29.440 and in person voting, and any electronically stored information relevant 0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:34.360 to those items above. The Fulton County Commissioner mount Ivory 0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.800 said that federal officials took seven hundred boxes of ballots, 0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:45.000 and curiously, Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbert appeared at 0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.320 the side of the search and had a phone call 0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:52.640 with Trump. After the raid concluded, Gabert sent a letter 0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:56.880 to Congress on Monday, claiming, quote, my presence was requested 0:33:56.880 --> 0:34:01.120 by the President and executed under my bra statutory authority 0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:05.480 to coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence relating to election security, 0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:11.400 including counter intelligence, foreign and other malign influences, and cybersecurity unquote. 0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:14.319 She also wrote on x the everything app quote, the 0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.120 Office of the Director of National Intelligence has and will 0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.200 continue to take action under my statutory authorities to secure 0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:25.400 our nation and ensure the integrity of our elections. I 0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:29.600 will include here that four days before January sixth, twenty 0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:34.439 twenty one, Trump told George's top election official to quote 0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:39.719 unquote find enough votes to overturn the election. Here's a 0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:40.920 recording of that phone call. 0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:43.600 All I want to do is this, I just want 0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:44.439 to find. 0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:50.520 Eleven thousand, seven hundred and eighty votes. 0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:54.680 The Trump administration has made multiple unsuccessful attempts to gain 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:58.799 access to the twenty twenty Georgia ballots through civil suits. 0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:03.120 Now they have just turned to executing search board through 0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:07.000 the FBI. On February first, Mike Johnson was asked about 0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:11.200 potential election medaling in Georgia. Here is this exchange from 0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:12.560 NBC News. 0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:15.560 What do you say to that allegation that President Trump 0:35:16.000 --> 0:35:19.280 is going to meddle in the twenty twenty six midterm elections, 0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:20.720 that that's what he's doing in Georgia. 0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:23.560 I find it comical that one of the senators from 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:27.200 Georgia is talking about schemes in elections. Remember, Georgia was 0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.320 example a of that. In the twenty twenty election. 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:33.240 There were two statewide recounts in Georgia. 0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:36.440 Mail out ballanced to everyone. Everyone knows all of the 0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.319 problems that occurred in Georgia. It was very controversially and 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:42.200 remains so to this day because of all the things 0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.480 that happened there. Again, we're not going to relitigate that. 0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:46.680 But what we have to focus on is going forward 0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:49.560 to ensure that there are not questions about the elections. 0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:53.040 And that's why Republicans are working at the federal and 0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:55.080 the state levels to clean those things up and clean 0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.480 up voter rolls to make sure illegals are not voting, 0:35:57.480 --> 0:36:00.160 for example. That's what the Save Act is about. We 0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:02.279 have to continue that and the President has keeping a 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:05.680 proper focus on it. This investigation is to ensure that 0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:09.000 all the questions that about the elections in Fulton County 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:12.919 are investigated properly so that people have confidence in the system. Again, 0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:13.879 that's very important, but. 0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:17.600 There are really no questions about election integry from twenty 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:20.040 twenty that have not been asked and answered. Even the 0:36:20.160 --> 0:36:24.719 Republican Nope, the Republican led governor has pointed out it's 0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.960 been years and no one has ever come forward under 0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.080 oath with evidence of fraud in Georgia. 0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:32.720 But let me ask you pretty absurd stuff. 0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:35.759 Yeah, yeah, we're not going to reltigate it as we 0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:36.880 rel litigate. 0:36:36.480 --> 0:36:39.920 It, yeah, Yeah, and just giving no evidence, just being like, oh, 0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:40.960 it's very controversial. 0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:44.280 Everyone knows, such a weasly answer. 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:45.359 Yeah. 0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:48.000 Republican Governor Brian Camp has been very clear that there 0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:52.160 was absolutely no fraud happening in Georgia during twenty twenty, 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.720 and if there was any attempt to meddle with the election, 0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:57.360 it is this phone call that Trump made to the 0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:00.600 Georgia Secretary of State, Yeah, asking to find a certain 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:04.439 number of votes that itself should have resulted in Trump 0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:08.120 going to prison. Yea like South Korea style, like you're done, 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:09.799 You're finished. You can't can't do that. 0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.560 Yeah, that is like the most transparent election interference. 0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:17.640 The way that Trump's court case in Fulton County related 0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:21.080 to his attempts to meddle into twenty twenty election is 0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:24.040 just a complete disaster due to coruption within the Fulton 0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:26.360 County courses tom itself. One of the worst things to 0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.279 happen during this like Biden era, is the mishandling of 0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:33.760 the court cases around Trump's attempts to over overturn the election. Yeah, 0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:36.560 and especially like looking at at what South Korea did 0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:39.759 after their president tried to take over the country a 0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:42.520 year or two ago is like, oh, yeah, that's very 0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:44.120 clearly what we should have done with this guy. 0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:45.879 Yeah, people could have done better. 0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:49.200 And Mike Johnson just keeps making really concerning statements on 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:53.440 the news about about quote unquote nationalizing elections. 0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:55.759 I follow up on elections. The President says that he 0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:58.320 wants Republicans to nationalize elections. 0:37:58.360 --> 0:37:59.279 Do you agree with him? 0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:02.560 And do you have confidence in how elections are conducted? 0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:03.160 Right now? 0:38:03.320 --> 0:38:04.320 Heading into the midterm. 0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:08.280 We have thoughtful debate about our election system every election cycle, 0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:10.440 and sometimes in between. We know it's in our system. 0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:12.840 The states have been in charge of a ministering their elections. 0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:16.080 What you're hearing from the President is his frustration about 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.799 the lack of some of the Blue states, frankly, of 0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:20.080 enforcing these things. 0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:24.839 Make Johnson goes on to discuss possible fraud in California specifically, 0:38:25.400 --> 0:38:28.840 though admits that he has no evidence of said fraud. 0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:29.800 One more clip. 0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:32.280 In some of the states, like in California, for example, 0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:34.759 I mean they hold the elections open for weeks after 0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:37.920 election day. That's just one thing that bothers so many people. 0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:40.960 We had three House Republican candidates who are head on 0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:44.160 election day in the last election cycle, and every time 0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:46.760 a new tranche of ballots came in, they just magically 0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:51.000 whittled away until their leads were lost. And no series 0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:53.879 of ballots that were counted after election day were our 0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:57.680 candidates ahead on any of those counts. It looks on 0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:00.839 its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove no, because 0:39:00.840 --> 0:39:03.960 it happens so far upstream. But we need more confidence 0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:07.680 in the American people in the election system. 0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:11.359 Absurd, Yeah, completely, bonkys, sir, I. 0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:15.400 Fear that more ballots have been counted and results have changed. 0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:16.960 Yeah, that's what elections are. 0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:21.400 You cannot place a vote in California after election day, no, 0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:23.759 but they do count mail in ballots that have been 0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:27.239 postmarked on or before election day, which is what he's referencing. 0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:30.520 But he's yeah, miss, he's purposely misconstruting it to make 0:39:30.560 --> 0:39:33.600 it sound way more, way more nefarious than what it 0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:36.040 actually is. If you've placed a mail in vote on 0:39:36.160 --> 0:39:38.840 or before election day in California, that vote will be counted. 0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:39.799 That is. 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:43.120 That is how the elections in California work, not this 0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:48.000 magically keeping keeping the election open for weeks afterwards. People 0:39:48.040 --> 0:39:50.240 can continue to vote that's that's not that's not true. 0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:53.880 It's giving like a very specific sports reference where that 0:39:54.000 --> 0:39:57.279 the announcers like and the team with the most points 0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:01.680 won the game. That's literally what he's doing. He's like, 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:07.440 as as the votes recounted, the results changed. 0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:09.640 They changed and someone won. Who is not what I 0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:11.360 wanted to happen. Uh. 0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:12.800 Yeah, shock, horror. 0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:15.080 Can I prove there's fraud? No, But well I continue 0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:17.960 to say there's fraud. Yes, Mike Johnson. 0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:21.279 It had been reported that they were trying to leverage 0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:26.160 the ice raids in Minnesota against getting electoral role information 0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:29.120 from Minnesota as well. Yes, So, like this is this 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:34.359 is not just his fascination with with Georgia. Like, this 0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:36.920 is all deeply concerning as we go into like midterm year. 0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:39.239 But we will find out soon. 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:42.359 Oh yeah, especially as Congress is the entity that is 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:44.200 supposed to be there to help to ensure that states 0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:46.040 run the elections fairly and that we do not have 0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:47.440 a nationalized voting system. 0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:47.960 Yeah. 0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:50.040 And the fact that the Speaker of the House seems 0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:55.319 to be unaware siding siding with the executive branch with 0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:58.480 this idea of nationalizing elections or at least trying to 0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:05.279 like manufacture consent. Trump's claim there very very worrying. I 0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:09.480 now want to update a story we talked about almost 0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.640 a year ago, based on some new information that has 0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:17.840 come out. In January, a judge has unsealed a State 0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:23.239 Department memo from March twenty twenty five that confirms that 0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:27.040 Ramesa os Turk's visa was revoked and the government sought 0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:30.959 to deport her on the basis of oz Turk co 0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:35.640 authoring and op ed in the student newspaper at Tufts University. 0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:40.520 This memo admits that DHS could not provide any evidence 0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:44.160 that oz Turk ever engaged in any eighties Semitic activity, 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:48.839 was involved in Students for Justice in Palestine, or has 0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:53.080 ever expressed support for terrorism as claimed by government officials. 0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:57.920 Last year. Churchill McLoughlin told CNN at the time of 0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:01.640 oz Turk's arrest that DHS and ICE investigations had found 0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:05.640 that oz Turk had quote engaged in activities in support 0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:09.399 of hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:13.960 of Americans unquote. On the contrary, this newly unsealed memo 0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:17.279 from the State Department reads, quote, while os Turk has 0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:22.200 been involved with actions protesting Tuft's relationship with Israel. Dhs 0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:26.279 ICE or Homeland Security Investigations has not, however, provided any 0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:29.000 evidence showing that oz Turk has engaged in any anti 0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:32.919 Smidy activity or made any public statements indicating support for 0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:36.920 a terrorist organization or anti Semitism generally unquote. The memo 0:42:37.000 --> 0:42:40.280 goes on to state that though a previous dhs report 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:43.799 quote implies a connection between oz Turk and the now 0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:47.480 banned Tuft's Students for Justice in Palestine, the report presents 0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:50.560 no evidence other than os Turk's membership in Graduate Students 0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:54.520 for Palestine, which supported proposals to Tufts which were also 0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:58.319 supported by Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine, nor as 0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:01.359 dhs ICE or HSI shown any evidence that oz Turk 0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:05.000 was involved in any of the activities which resulted in 0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:09.080 Students for Justice in Palestine being suspended from Tufts unquote. 0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:13.640 The Bureau of Consular Affairs VISA office identified no reporting 0:43:13.719 --> 0:43:18.000 specific to oz Turk on US government interagency databases. According 0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:21.520 to this memo, and interagency vetting partners do not provide 0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:24.880 any response to oz Turk's twenty twenty four VISA application 0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:30.880 quote indicating the existence of derogatory terrorism related information. I'll 0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:35.680 read the final quote here from this memo quote, DHS 0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:39.520 did not identify any alternative grounds for removability that would 0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:42.759 be applicable to oz Turk, including the ground for removability 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:45.960 for aliens who have provided material support to a foreign 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.600 terrorist organization or terrorist activity, and has not indicated whether 0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:53.200 it plans to consider termination of oz Turk's CIVIS registration. 0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:57.439 Although information provided by DHS, Homeland Security investigations and ICE 0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:01.479 does not establish any potential in eligibility for us Turk, 0:44:01.960 --> 0:44:04.720 you may, in your discretion and in accordance with Department 0:44:04.760 --> 0:44:09.960 policy in nine FA M four three point one point 0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:14.399 one Dash five B, approve revocation of her F one 0:44:14.560 --> 0:44:18.840 visa effect immediately based on the totality of the circumstances presented, 0:44:19.160 --> 0:44:24.880 indicating that revocation may be warranted unquote. The only evidence 0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:27.400 held against her in the memo is that she wrote 0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:30.520 an op ed. You still can revoke her visa if 0:44:30.520 --> 0:44:31.080 you want to. 0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:36.600 Yeah, yeah, And that is pretty much the way student 0:44:36.760 --> 0:44:39.279 visas especially work, right leg You you just here at 0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:41.600 the pleasure of US politics. 0:44:41.680 --> 0:44:45.799 Essentially, the fact that this memo openly says they do 0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:48.920 not have evidence to support the claims that she's involved 0:44:48.920 --> 0:44:52.920 in anti Smithy activity on campus supports Hamas in any way. 0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:56.120 The fact that we have you have the government saying 0:44:56.160 --> 0:45:00.560 that in these internal documents, while externally, people like McLoughlin 0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.759 and Rubio say otherwise, it's such a naked display of 0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:06.600 the sort of rhetoric that these people are using. Secretary 0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:09.680 Rubio claimed at a press conference on March twenty seventh, 0:45:09.680 --> 0:45:12.680 twenty twenty five. Quote, we revoked her visa. It's an 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.600 F one visa. I believe we revoked it. And here's why. 0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:17.480 If you apply for a visa to enter the United 0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:19.600 States and be a student, and you tell us that 0:45:19.640 --> 0:45:21.560 the reason why you're coming to the United States is 0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:23.880 not just because you want to write op eds, but 0:45:23.920 --> 0:45:26.800 because you want to participate in movements that are involved 0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:30.880 in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, 0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:34.000 creating a ruckus. We're not going to give you a visa. 0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:36.440 If you lie to us and get a visa and 0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:38.800 then enter the United States and with that visa participate 0:45:38.880 --> 0:45:40.919 in that sort of activity, We're going to take away 0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:41.520 your visa. 0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.520 Unquote yeah, it means she didn't tell them that she 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:46.320 was engaged to that kind of activity. 0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:47.120 She wasn't. 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:51.200 That's just not what happened. Yeah, And DHS admits itself 0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:54.440 that she was not involved in the activity, the protest 0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:57.680 activity that resulted in students Justice in Palestine being banned 0:45:57.719 --> 0:46:01.279 from campus, which included vandalism, but DJA says that they 0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:02.840 do not have evidence that she was involved in that 0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:06.560 in any way, nor had any direct association with that group. 0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:11.040 In December, a federal judge allowed oz Turk to continue 0:46:11.080 --> 0:46:14.680 her research and teaching at Tufts University on the basis 0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.480 that she's likely to succeed on the claim that her 0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:21.919 visa termination was quote arbitrary and capricious, contrary to law, 0:46:22.200 --> 0:46:25.480 and in violation of the First Amendment. The court case 0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:28.240 related to her removal proceedings will still continue. 0:46:28.920 --> 0:46:29.680 Yeah, pretty bleak. 0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:33.000 That was Yeah wow. 0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:35.440 I guess talking of bleak. Should I finish up with 0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:37.640 a summary of the situation in Syria? 0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:39.200 Yeah, give us a Syria date. 0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:43.360 Yeah, okay, So the aa n e S has reached 0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:47.040 a settlement with the STG. The aa n e S 0:46:47.160 --> 0:46:50.920 the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria aka ro Java, 0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:54.640 and the STG being the Syrian transitional government. That will 0:46:54.680 --> 0:46:57.480 result in the withdrawal of troops from the points of contact, 0:46:57.800 --> 0:47:00.600 as well as the withdrawal of SDF troops from Commishlo 0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:04.279 and Hesseka and the entry of the Syrian Ministry of 0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:08.440 the Interior. They're about ninety Ministry of Interior people going 0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:11.080 into Commishlo, one hundred and Hessegas. These are essentially like 0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:12.720 Syrian feds. 0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:13.359 I guess right. 0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:17.319 Integration of the SDF will occur as brigades of the 0:47:17.360 --> 0:47:19.240 Syrian Army deployed Derrik. 0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:21.160 If you're looking at a map, it's probably. 0:47:20.880 --> 0:47:25.000 Going to say Al Malakaya, Delhi being the Kurdish name, Commishlo, 0:47:25.120 --> 0:47:29.600 Hesseka and Kabani. These forces will be largely Kurdish, but 0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:33.239 they will also include Assyrian and Arab elements, as the 0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:36.520 SDF always has. I imagine they will probably Armenians as well. 0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:38.920 They're then nearly always are sending in the sdfs since 0:47:38.920 --> 0:47:39.839 the beginning there have been. 0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:41.520 The agreement also. 0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:44.480 Included the integration of the Eshaish into the Syrian Ministry 0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:48.040 of the Interior, the government takeover of oil fields and borders, 0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:51.320 and a recognition of Kurdish education credentials across the country. 0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:54.360 The AA and e S will appoint a governor in 0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:57.520 Hesseka and the security chief will be appointed by Damascus. 0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:01.839 The SDF will also appoint a deputy defense minister in Damascus, 0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:06.799 and the SEG appointed Marwan al Ali Tobac security. He 0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:11.279 previously did this for HDS in Idlib Hiatoria al Sham Right, 0:48:11.280 --> 0:48:13.799 that's the group that was formerly listed as a Foreigntarist 0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:15.879 organization in the US that has gone on to take 0:48:15.920 --> 0:48:19.560 over Syria and become the government in Damascus, and he 0:48:19.719 --> 0:48:23.799 sort of oversaw their purge of jurras aal Din, which 0:48:23.880 --> 0:48:28.160 is like an al Qaeda associated group in Idlib. Shortly 0:48:28.280 --> 0:48:31.360 after the deal was signed to Syrian traditional government began 0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:35.040 accusing journalists who entered via Samalka, as I have done 0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:38.840 and Robert has done, of having entered Syria illegally, which 0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:42.719 great I guess. Turkey has continued to prevent aid coming 0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:46.680 to Kabani, where water and power remain cut off. Pretty 0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:50.560 bleak situation in Rosjaba. I'm glad that there is not 0:48:50.680 --> 0:48:55.040 more killing and not more dying, but also sad to 0:48:55.040 --> 0:48:57.040 see some other things that so many people fought and 0:48:57.120 --> 0:49:01.200 died for being lost, especially this idea of brotherhood of 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.960 people's which I think was integral today is you have 0:49:04.000 --> 0:49:06.919 a revolution and the women's revolution, which like it will 0:49:06.920 --> 0:49:09.239 be very hard to sustain in the context of a 0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:13.960 state led by HTS. Pretty upsetting stuff. I know that 0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:16.160 they can still use your support.
