It's only been invoked three 18 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: times in the past, both all three during actual wars 19 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: eighteen twelve, World War One, and World War Two, when 20 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: it was infamously used to justify the internment of Japanese civilians, 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 2: including others as well, Italians and Germans as well. We 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: can put me one up on the screen. So the 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: headline here from PBS, Trump invokes eighteenth century law declaring 24 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: invasion by gangs to speed mass deportations. So his claim 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: is that the US has been invaded by a Venezuelan gang, 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: putting us quote unquote at war because these, you know, 27 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: can only these powers can only be used at wartime, 28 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: and handing himself the discretion to intern and summarily to 29 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: port with zero due process anyone that he effectively wants. 30 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: So right away after he invokes this, and there was 31 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: anticipation that this was coming, there were some Venezuelan migrants 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 2: who were sort of moved to. 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 4: This Texas ice facility. Of course, this had. 34 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 2: Been expected because he talked about on the campaign trail 35 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: that this was coming all along. So the ACLU actually 36 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: got out front and filed a suit to try to 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: block these deportations, focusing in particular on these five Venezuelan migrants. 38 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: So when Trump invokes this Alien Enemies Act, immediately a 39 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: plane takes off with hundreds of Venezuelan migrants that they 40 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: claim are in this trender Aragua gang, which became a 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: big talking point on the campaign. 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 4: Trail as well. 43 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: So they take off and head to El Salvador, where 44 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: they are put into a notorious prison there where you know. 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: I mean, they're just completely disappeared, right, So there's no 46 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: access for journalists, no access for. 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: Lawyers, whatever. 48 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: There is no proof that these people actually are in 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: the gang that Trump says that they're in. In fact, 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: previously they had said that some people you know and 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 2: that were held at Guantanamo were in this gang, and 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 2: journalists went in and turned out they weren't whatsoever. It's 53 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: estimated there's only a few hundred members of this gang 54 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: in the US all together, so. 55 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: It's sort of okay, that's not so very. 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: Unlikely that, you know, they got all of them in 57 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: this one round up. In any case, there's there's no proof. 58 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: They were given no due process, no ability to challenge 59 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: the determination that they're part of this gang, and they're 60 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: disappeared into this El Salvador prison that's known for cruelty, 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: torture and slave labor. So after this plane takes off, 62 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: a judge actually acts pretty quickly. We can put this 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: next piece up on the screen. Judge actually acts pretty 64 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 2: quickly and hastily schedules a hearing and says, you can't 65 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: do this. You know, I don't think that you have 66 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: the legal right to do this, and I am blocking 67 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: all of these deportations, not just the five that the 68 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: case was originally about. The ACLU, you know, immediately expanded 69 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: their case to include all migrants who were held in detention. 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: Said you can't do this, and even if there is 71 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: a plane in the air, you need to turn that 72 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: plane around and bring them back. 73 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 4: But that does not happen. 74 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: Instead, there's reporting from Axios that says that Steven Miller 75 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: and Kirsty you know, they were apparently the ones that 76 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: were you know, involved most closely in the execution of 77 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: all of this. They debated with lawyers like, you know, 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: should we go along with this court order or not? 79 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 4: And basically they decided not. 80 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: Now they claimed, oh, it was already in over international waters, 81 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: so you know it's out of our hands now. Of course, 82 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: this is like preposterous, and well why nonsot? 83 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 5: Wait? 84 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: Why, well, because do you think you take things? First 85 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: of all, look read the quote in front of you. 86 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 3: However, that's accomplished, whether planning is turning around or not 87 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: or not being the operative word. 88 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: Second, however, it's a complane took off. 89 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 3: From Texas, which immediately put it over international waters within 90 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: like ten minutes. 91 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: Those six thirty five pm. 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: The flight landed at El Salvador at eight thirty five pm, 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: making it clear that actually it was over international territory 94 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: and not over the waters of the United States. Now, 95 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: do you really believe that some federal judge here in Washington, 96 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: d C. Has the authority to tell the executive to 97 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 3: turn a military aircraft around? 98 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: You believe? Okay, Well, then we'll test that at the 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. We will test that here's at the United 100 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: States Supreme Court. 101 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: Spathetic, how do you know the criminal? 102 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: First of all, I mean this is where Look, you 103 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 3: said something earlier, which I think is important. You think 104 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: your country is being taken away from you because three 105 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: hundred something Venezuelan illegal immigrants were deported to El Salvador. 106 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: How do you what proof do you even have of that? 107 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: I mean, because here's here's the thing. 108 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the thing. They all entered the country illegally. 109 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: That's there according to the government. I mean, listen, I 110 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: think that is probably true. But here's what you're defending. 111 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: Hundreds of people who we don't know who they are, 112 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: disappeared into a foreign prison known for torture, where no 113 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: lawyers or journalists could possibly go and find out who 114 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: they are and whether the government story adds up with 115 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: zero due process. That's what you're defending, is that Trump 116 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: can summarily say these people they're gone. 117 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: I'm putting them in. 118 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 2: This prison and a foreign country indefinitely at my discretion, 119 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: and you don't get to say anything about it. 120 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 4: That's what happened here. So I just don't see anything. 121 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: You can't say anything about it. I should see. 122 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 3: I think you should be easily challenged to the United 123 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: State Supreme Court. And I think that within the context 124 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: of clearly the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, from 125 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: what I've been able to review, he seems well within 126 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: his rights to be able to do this from a 127 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: state department or terrorist organization. That's not Listen, you're arguing semantics. 128 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: I'm talking no, I'm arguing the law. Are we at 129 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: war right now? 130 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't involved three times. 131 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: Look in the past of eighteen twelve, World War one, 132 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: world War two, those are the three times that's been invoked. 133 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 2: All three times, especially during World War two, quite shamefully 134 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: in the internment of Japanese citizens. You think it's okay 135 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: for our government to round up whoever claim their criminals 136 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: and imprison them indefinitely in a foreign prison to be tortured. 137 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: Well, that round saying to me, see, you seem much 138 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: more concerned earned about that than the importation of eight 139 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: to ten million illegal immigrants under Joe Biden. That seems 140 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: to me, my country'smen taken away. So this is what 141 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like, we can play this game all day long. 142 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: Do you think that's an invasion. I think that's an 143 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: invasion eight to ten million. 144 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 4: But that's not what he's talking about. 145 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: But he's talking specifically about Venezuelan migrants. 146 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: Yes, no, No, he's talking specifically about the. 147 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 4: How many people are here from trende. 148 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: I have no idea, all right, that's my not even. 149 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 4: The roughly several hundred. 150 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Who are we getting on CLU or from the lawyer. 151 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: From from agencies, from international agencies that track law and 152 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: order across Latin America. These are not like liberal do 153 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: good or These are people who are looking at the 154 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 2: spread of gangs around the world. Okay, many actually of 155 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: these people likely were fleeing violence from the very gang 156 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: that you're talking. 157 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: That's probably a convenient errative. Hold on, hold on, I 158 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: think that's a very convenient narrative. 159 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: In terms of who was brought to Guantanamo Bay. Okay, 160 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: in prison in Getmo, the Trump administration made the same 161 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: Oh these are gang members. These are the worst of 162 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: the worst. Some of them didn't even have criminal records 163 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: at all. Some of them who they claimed were in 164 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: Trende Ragua. It was because of either they were from 165 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: that state of Ragua in Venezuela and actually, like I said, 166 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: had been fleeing the violence from this gang, or they 167 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: happened to have a tattoo that made them think like, oh, 168 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: they're just in the gang. One of the people who 169 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 2: is who was part of this group is LGBT Venezuelan 170 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: who was in prison, according to his lawyer because of 171 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: his tattoo, was assumed to be in a gang. 172 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: That's what we're talking about here.

Absolutely 273 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 3: would actually make it the history onic coming from a 274 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: lot of. 275 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: Liberty, you think there should be, and that that's the 276 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: whole point of having to do so that they can 277 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 2: have an opportunity to prove the things you're saying about 278 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: me are not true. But instead, don't you think it's 279 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 2: telling that they had this plane ready to go so 280 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 2: that they could avoid any of that scrutiny and that 281 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: they are now disappeared into a foreign prison where there 282 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: is no ability to know who these people are. And 283 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: by the way, there were children as young as fourteen 284 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 2: who were part of this, because the Alien Enemies Act 285 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 2: says it's fourteen or older. So you're talking about not 286 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 2: just grown men. You're talking about you know, teenage boys 287 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: here as well. Like that's that's what we're talking about. 288 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: We're talking about the government claiming and ability to in 289 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: turn deport with summer elite with no due process and 290 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: holding the foreign prison whoever they want because we have 291 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: no way to know who these people are. We don't 292 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: even know for sure that they're Venezuela. 293 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 3: And we don't know we're where we enter illegal This 294 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: is what I'm saying. The level of concern you have 295 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: for a bunch of illegal immigrants is it's honestly maddening 296 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 3: to me that you think it's okay to let eight 297 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: to ten million people here at a level many human crimes. Okay, 298 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: that's great. That's the job of the United Nations. Our 299 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: job is to protect our country. The United States Constant 300 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 3: as well as the Alien Enemies Acquistion me a multiple constitutionals. 301 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: Tell me how it protects our country. To hand the 302 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: president the ability to randomly round up and whoever he wants. 303 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 4: How do you know that what proof have you been 304 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 4: given of. 305 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: What that these are Venezuelan nationals are actually there is 306 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: proof that they were Venezuelan nationals. 307 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: But beyond that. 308 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: Now, again, we can criticize process in here all day long, 309 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 3: but I do think that is a philosophical trap where 310 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: look at the status quo that. 311 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: We were living in. 312 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: Fifteen to twenty million illegal immigrants who entered this country, 313 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: eight to ten million of them over a four year period, 314 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: or resounding popular voute victory for a person who said 315 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 3: I am going to mask okay poor. In fact, I 316 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: think this is probably one of the most popular things 317 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: that Trump will do. And if liberals want to mount 318 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: a great fight on this, this is I say, be 319 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: my guest, But because this is the irony of the situation, I. 320 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 4: Don't know whether it would be popular or not. I 321 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: actually know, I. 322 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: Actually doubt that. 323 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: I doubt that disappearing people into a foreign prison is 324 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: that popula. Maybe you're right, you know what, Slavery was 325 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: popular at a time. Yes, ce creation was popular at 326 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: a time. You know, Hating gay people was popular at 327 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: a time. Like sometimes things that are popular, can be bad, 328 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: can be immoral, can be a massive authoritarian, fascist power grab. 329 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: This is one of those times. And I think it's 330 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: insane that you can defend taking whoever they want and. 331 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 4: With zero due process, defying a court order. 332 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: Well, no, that's yeah, no, no, no, because. 333 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: Again because it's actually it's very up to interpretation. 334 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: I would be more sympathetic to your view maybe if 335 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: it wasn't for the Kelly who is the head of 336 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: Al Salvador coming out and saying whoopsie and the White 337 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: House amplifying that with regard to the court order being defied, 338 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: like they openly and brazenly defied a court order here 339 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: that said you have to turn the plane around. You 340 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: cannot do this. So if these are hardened gang criminals, 341 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: prove it, wouldn't you want to prove it. Wouldn't you 342 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: want to show everybody look at all of these monsters 343 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: that we found, that we're now getting rid of, that 344 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: we're now deporting, that we're now falling through on our promises. No, 345 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: they want to hide it. They want to do it 346 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: under the cover of night because they want to hide 347 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: who these people are and do it under the cover 348 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: of night because they know that these are not No, 349 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the specifics of who these people are. 350 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 2: These are not gang criminals when they went when journalists 351 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: were able, and this is probably why people were pulled 352 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: from Guantanamo. When journalists were able to go and check, oh, 353 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 2: who are these people that you say, are these hardened 354 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: criminal monsters that you put at Guantanamo Bay with no rights? 355 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 2: Guess what they found. Many of them had zero criminal records. 356 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 2: The ones who they claimed were gang they were not 357 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 2: gang members. Some of them were fleeing gang violence. And 358 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 2: yet we're just going to disappear people now and defy 359 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 2: court orders and say whoopsie and send it to you know, 360 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: this brutal human rights violation, torturing, slave labor cesspool. 361 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: I think you know, you know, the funny thing is 362 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 3: is that you know, as much as you love miss 363 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 3: Shinbaum over in Mexico, Bill Kelly is the actually one 364 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: of the also most popular. 365 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Leaders in Latin America. 366 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: He dropped his crime rate from something like six thousand 367 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 3: murders ten years ago to one hundred and fourteen just 368 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: in the last year, overwhelming amount of success. So for 369 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: all of this, he's overwhelmingly popular and it turns out 370 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 3: that like, oh, whenever you lock a bunch of criminals up, 371 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 3: crime drops is actually shocking. Beyond that, again, the histrionics 372 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 3: and the level of concern always comes to applying the 373 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 3: maximum force of the beauty of the United States to 374 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 3: people who criminally entered our country. 375 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: I genuinely wish there was the same level of concern 376 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: for our citizens. 377 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: But this is where the liberal like entire concern strategy 378 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 3: just frankly why it loses at the ballot box. It's 379 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 3: genuinely internationalists and globalist. It is open border almost to 380 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 3: its core, looking at these people as if they are 381 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 3: full deserve the full protections of the United States and 382 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 3: or are equal in equivalent US citizens. Well, you know 383 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 3: under the alien under the Alien Enemies Act, if they 384 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: are trend to AGUA members, and no, they don't actually 385 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 3: have due process rights. In a similar way, for some 386 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 3: mirror deportation are now I mean, okay, are we being 387 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 3: invaded right now? You're to say, exactly, so there we go, 388 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: water playman. 389 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: Imagine that two hundred people from a gang is an 390 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 2: invasion and that puts US at war like that is insane. 391 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: And so here's here's the thing. 392 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: Okay, you you hate these people, you want. 393 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: To know, You're fine to deport everything, imprison them in 394 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: a foreign jail sale where that can be torture. 395 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 4: We got it. Okay. 396 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 2: Do you realize though, that once the store is open, like, 397 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: it's open for everyone, not just for Trump, like when 398 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: civil rights go, that's it, they're gone. 399 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 3: They're going to deport who exactly illegal immigrants? Okay, fine, 400 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 3: that's why if Biden or Kamalain Hanris or whoever in 401 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: the future wants to are it could be somebody who 402 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 3: is here legally, fine, that's fine. 403 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: Would be comfortable with them picking up whoever they want 404 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 2: and summarily deporting them. 405 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: So this is because we keep on the protection of 406 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: legal or. 407 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: The Americans process where we even know who these people are. 408 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: But yes, of course, if you're here you have some rights. 409 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: Otherwise it would be like crazy. You couldn't just have 410 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: some foreign tours here and then just like torture them 411 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: for the hell of it. That would be insane. If 412 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: you are here, yes you have some rights. If you're 413 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: an asylum seeker, yes you have some rights. One of 414 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: those rights is due process. And this is the thing. 415 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 2: It's like, you know they pick this. They paint these 416 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 2: people as all gang members, which they're not all gang er. 417 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: There's zero chants that they're all gang members. But in 418 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: any case, they paint them as that because they know 419 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 2: that this is like a hated group and then those 420 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 2: you know, rights get stripped away. And if you think 421 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 2: that it just stays with the group that you happen 422 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: to like, hate or not care about, or think deserve 423 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: to rot and get tortured in a foreign jail cell, 424 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: that's not what history shows us. And some of the 425 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: most shameful moments in our history have been when a 426 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: you know, hated group is targeted, like Japanese internment during 427 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 2: World War Two, which is the last time that this 428 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: law was invoked. 429 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 3: What's the key difference between that those were US citizens 430 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 3: who are having their Supreme Court or their constitutional rights 431 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: violated natural born us. 432 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 2: Is there any level of cruelty to migrants that you 433 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: would not justify? 434 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: This is what this is what I'm saying. Deportation is 435 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: not cruelty. 436 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 4: That's deportation. They're imprisoned in a torture chamber. 437 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: Okay, well it's else. 438 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: Is there any level of cruelty you would not justify? 439 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: What I justify like chaining them up and hanging them from. 440 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: Their tortured They were sent for being prisoned. 441 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 4: They were sent to a prison. 442 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: Salvador has agreed, apparently like on some fee basis, to 443 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 3: house these people while they're there. It is now the 444 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: problem the Venezuelan government. And by the way, actually, if 445 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 3: this does go to the US Supreme Court and they 446 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 3: uphold what you're saying, you know what, I'll say, Okay, 447 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 3: bring them back, go ahead, let's do it. 448 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: Strike it down. You can bring them back to. 449 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 4: You no moral companies outside what the Supreme Court tells you. 450 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 4: It's okay. 451 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 3: You look again, this is why I think this level 452 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 3: of like frankly like moral where would the line udicous? 453 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 4: What would be too okay? 454 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: So let me ask you that how many illegals have 455 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 3: to murder? What's the correct number that is justifiable in 456 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 3: the crystal ball universe for the number of illegals to 457 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: enter the United States? 458 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: How many murders is that okay? To balance with increasing 459 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: economic ge. 460 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 4: Aware that is it? 461 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 2: One doocumented and documented have a lower crime rate. 462 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: Than the native right, so they should actually be here to. 463 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 4: Stop smearing them all if. 464 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 3: There shouldn't be here, then the number should be zero, correct. 465 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 3: I think the trustful number is zero as the number. 466 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 2: We need to actually have an immigration system where I 467 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 2: would let more people in, yes than is legally allowed now, 468 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 2: but yes, I would have borders. I would want to 469 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: know who's coming in. I would want to make sure 470 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: that criminals weren't coming in. 471 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 3: Well, none of that now, and I didn't see any 472 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 3: of this level of history onics that was happening. 473 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: Well, two hundred people are. 474 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 4: Sent to be tortured by our government, but they're interesting. 475 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 4: That's something that doesn't upset you. Like, is that not 476 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 4: upset you? 477 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 3: I don't think that they're quote unquote being tortured. I 478 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 3: think they're in a prison now. Second, again, I think 479 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: that there are tens of millions of people who crime 480 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 3: only entered our country, circumvented our laws. We have no 481 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 3: idea in the similar way that you're talking about here, 482 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 3: who are who are either committing crimes. Let's say it's 483 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: less than the native born population. Nobody knows if that's 484 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: actually true or not. But even if it is, why 485 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: is that acceptable number? And you think zero that is 486 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 3: the appropriate pology. 487 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: I think that justifies sending people to be tortured in 488 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 2: a foreign person. 489 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: Keep saying there's evidence in the similar way there's no evidence. 490 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: Do you think that that justifies do our government claim it? No, 491 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: our government claiming the power to disappear people into a 492 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 2: foreign prison set. 493 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. 494 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 3: I will I think that, considering the circumstances of the 495 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: election and the genuine insanity of the status quo that 496 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: we're in, that me, along with many people who saw 497 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: what Trump was running on, agreed with this idea put 498 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 3: forward that every power of the United States government should 499 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: be brought to bear to toport people who entered this 500 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: country illegally. So I think that is open affirmed at 501 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 3: the ballot box and is within this U. S. 502 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 4: Law. 503 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 2: You are good with random people we don't know who 504 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: they are, they get no due process, being smeared as 505 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 2: gang members we don't know, and being disappeared into a 506 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: foreign prison that is known for torture and slave labor. 507 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 3: I mean again, I'm just going to say, like, so 508 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 3: you're okay with people who are coming up, but actually answer, 509 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: ironically answer, hold on, this is acause. 510 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 4: We have because we had people come. 511 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: We have no idea who we had people come.

If they were able to prove 618 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: these claims in court, then they should do it. And 619 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: even then though I mean personally I don't think people 620 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: should be tortured, but in any case, they have a 621 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: lot stronger justification for what they're doing here. 622 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 4: We are not at war. 623 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: This is not an invasion of two hundred gang members, 624 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: Like what are we talking about here? And if you can, 625 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: if you can claim these if this president can claim 626 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 2: these powers, any president can claim these powers, zero due 627 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 2: process rights, to just disappear whoever they want into a 628 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: jail cell in El Salvador where they are beyond the 629 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: reach of any journalists or lawyers or anywhere. 630 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 3: Then why that's what we're talking Why did the United 631 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: States Congress not repeal that lawt or is invothe three 632 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 3: times if they thought it was such a horrible threat 633 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 3: to do process. 634 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: I mean Listen, were when we were leading up to 635 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: this election, and I said I thought Trump was a 636 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: fascist and authoritarian. You said, I think the institution. I 637 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: think he's authoritarian, but I think the institutions will constrain him. Yeah, 638 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: where are those institutional constraints, because what we have right 639 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: now is a court ruling that the president just decided. 640 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: I'm just not going to do that. I'm just going 641 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: to go out. I mean, it was open to interpretation. 642 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 3: I remember you even saying previously when a judge was like, hey, 643 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 3: you need to stop all of this. But it's not, 644 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: let's say, feasible, because something is there. It's a lower 645 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 3: court here at the district level. It will get challenged 646 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 3: and it will go all the way to Scotus letus down. No, 647 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, well, first of all, they might 648 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: be coming back, because if the Supreme Court does say 649 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 3: that that was illegal, then yes, the United States should 650 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 3: actually not only have to comply with that order, they 651 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 3: should fully pay bring these individuals back, and then we 652 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 3: can go through that. Secondly, as we said, the idea 653 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 3: that they're quote not complying is just not true. Put 654 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 3: B four pleas up on the screen from the White House. 655 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 3: The administration quote did not refuse to comply. Moreover, as 656 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 3: a Supreme Court is made repeated clear federal or sorry. 657 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 3: This isn't actually in a statement, but it's on the 658 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 3: other side. This is the only current flight that's supposedly planned, 659 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 3: considering that after the plane land was then over international waters, 660 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 3: as they're claiming, it will be adjudicated sometime soon as 661 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: to whether they're going to be held in contempt a 662 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: court or not. This is not some ongoing policy there 663 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 3: from the US government with respect to mass deportation flights 664 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 3: of every Venezuelan like you are claiming, So they are 665 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 3: actually complexed. This is now that the law has been 666 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: now that the judge of judicial courses, you may have 667 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 3: the similar point for the level of histronics if they 668 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 3: were doing it every single day for the next ten 669 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 3: years or it's our ten days, this up until it goes, but. 670 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: It hasn't happened. 671 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: This is not even the only court order that they 672 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: flouted in the past number of days. And a B 673 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: seven up on the screen another deportation that a judge blocked. 674 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 2: Judge demands Trump admin explained why a doctor was deported 675 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 2: despite an order. This was an doctor who was here 676 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: on an H one B visa citizen of Lebanon who 677 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: was detained at the border and deported again in spite 678 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 2: of the fact that there was a court order not 679 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: to mention that this comes on the heels of you know, 680 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: I mean usaid. There were all kinds of court orders saying, hey, 681 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 2: you gotta you have to unfreeze this money. You got 682 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: to pay these contracts. The government wouldn't do it, wouldn't 683 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: do it, wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it. 684 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 4: And so you have. 685 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 2: If you don't want to say it's open defiance because 686 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: they're still coming up with a cover story, that's fine. 687 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: But it's pretty clear from the reporting that they knew 688 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 2: what they were doing, They had the ability to turn 689 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 2: the plane around, and they just decided we're not going 690 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: to listen. 691 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Well I don't think I honestly think it's 692 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 3: a crazy precedent that a lower federal court judge could 693 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 3: be able to decide that a military aircraft can be 694 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 3: turned around over international water. I mean, imagine, like, what 695 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 3: is somebody in the middle of a bombing operation. 696 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: You're going to go to a judge and say, hey, actually, 697 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: you got. 698 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 3: To turn that around because would circument the very basics 699 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 3: of the United States government and executive authority. 700 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: Government agencies were in charge of this flight. The order 701 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 2: applied to those government agencies saying, no, you can't do this, 702 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 2: like you have to turn these planes around, says turn the. 703 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: Plane around or not, and however that. 704 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 4: Is however it's accomplished. 705 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 2: So if there's a plane in there and then you 706 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: have to turn it around, like and they and again 707 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 2: the reporting from in the room is that like they 708 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: knew that they had a choice, and they thought they 709 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: had they decided they get they decided that they were 710 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: just not going to listen. I think that this is 711 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: a new chapter in what our country is. If you 712 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 2: can just claim claim we're at war and use it 713 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: to just crush whoever's rights you want and send people 714 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 2: to foreign prison cell with the expectation that they will 715 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 2: be tortured and held indefinitely, I think that's wrong. 716 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think the rorshack test here is that 717 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 3: I think the last four years were ten times more 718 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 3: outrageous than any potential implications of this. 719 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: You were okay with it. I was not. 720 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 3: The people decided to vote for somebody who thought they 721 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 3: wanted to have deportation. 722 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we had a situation again. 723 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 4: But this isn't about the deportivation, but. 724 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 3: It really is actually about. 725 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,719 Speaker 4: Getting rid of all the laws. 726 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: And this is about saying, you know, taking people, we 727 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: have no proof of who they are. 728 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 3: And does it not make you think the fact that 729 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 3: ninety nine percent of the border crossings have dropped now 730 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 3: under the Trump administration, despite the fact that there were no. 731 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 2: News that was before they did this might need to 732 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: do it. 733 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 3: Is that not evidence that Joe Biden was genuinely did 734 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 3: have some executive authority to quash whatever was going on 735 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 3: the comp The story that we were told was that 736 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 3: he was fully enforcing and complying with the law when 737 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 3: eight to ten million people were allowed to enter our 738 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 3: country illegally. The Trump administration has not, even in violation 739 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 3: of any executive order or any judicial authority that I 740 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: know of today, has been able to implement remain in 741 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 3: Mexico and other policy to facilitating ninety nine percent drop. 742 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 3: We didn't have to be doing any of the stuff 743 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 3: we are right now if we had a previous president 744 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 3: who didn't allow all these people. 745 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: But we don't, many of whom many of whom didn't 746 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: commit crime. 747 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: We don't have to be doing this, but we we 748 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 2: didn't have to be doing We don't have to be 749 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: doing this now. Well, I mean, so you don't think 750 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: it's it who is making. 751 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, You don't think it's 752 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 3: an urgent crisis that there are eight to ten million 753 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 3: people who were illegally. I do, and I think a 754 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 3: lot of voters certainly agreed that was the number one 755 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 3: or two reasons a lot of people. 756 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: And you think that trumpet the ballot box. 757 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 2: Okay, and so let me just be clear. You think 758 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: that that quote unquote crisis justifies getting rid of civil 759 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: rights claiming wartime authorities and you know, rounding people up 760 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 2: without us knowing who they are or what they have 761 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 2: quote unquote supposedly done, having a chance to defend themselves 762 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 2: in court. You think it justifies a suspension of core 763 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: civil rights. And you know, again, it's that the discretion 764 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: of like Trump and Christin Knowman and Steven Miller whoever 765 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 2: they want to round up and make a show of. 766 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 3: If this were applied to let's say five million people 767 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 3: and their government was openly defying an order continually as 768 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 3: this were happening. I may share a similar level of 769 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 3: your concern, But we are talking here about two to 770 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 3: three hundred people, at the very least many of which 771 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 3: are gang members. 772 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 4: You know that illegally a single one of them is 773 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 4: a gang. 774 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: Well, you don't know that it. 775 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 3: Even or not all right, and so like. That's my 776 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 3: point is that at the end of the day, and 777 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 3: you know what, that's the word for it. Unfortunately none 778 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 3: of us know because they entered the country illegal. 779 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 2: None of us know because they were denied to process 780 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: after the country and they were journalists or lawyers to 781 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 2: be able to access them. 782 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 3: You again, you seem to think that we should provide 783 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 3: and have the same level of concern as a country 784 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: for people who violated our laws who come here. 785 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 4: Yes, I think, yes, I believe humans deserve human rights. 786 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: That's true. I think that human You don't know. 787 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 3: I think that the United States has a sole obligation 788 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 3: to look out for the interests of its US citizens. 789 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 4: Okay, a soul. 790 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 2: So that means no one else human rights matter. 791 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: No, that's not what I said. 792 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 3: What I said is that at the end of the day, 793 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 3: the government and national sovereignty demand that citizens have control 794 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,919 Speaker 3: over their country, we lived in a status quo where 795 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 3: that was basically violate, And you think that this vagrantly. 796 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 2: For claiming, this quashing of rights is necessary to achieve 797 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 2: that goal, and you think that that's worth it. I mean, 798 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 2: I just think when you have a situation like this, 799 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 2: it's just two hundred people, So who really cares what 800 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 2: happens to them? Like, do you understand that if it 801 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: is upheld at supreme, we aren't just talking about a 802 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 2: few hundred people. It will be, however many people they 803 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 2: want it to be who are sent to this you know, 804 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 2: torture chamber in El Salvador. 805 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: Not necessarily the plan. 806 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 3: Actually a lot of this is also to pressure the 807 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 3: Maduro government to accept its own citizens, which it refuses 808 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 3: to do. 809 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: This is look, I. 810 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 3: Think that the philosophical argument in all of this really 811 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 3: gets back to what do you think that the government's 812 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 3: purpose is. You seem to think that the America is 813 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 3: like some transnational No. 814 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 4: I think the governments, which is supposed. 815 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: To be just be pie in the sky and we're 816 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: supposed to be I think I don't think that the 817 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: interests of all of these criminal leaders. 818 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,959 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I don't I think that people have 819 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 2: civil rights, including people, by the way, and this is 820 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 2: true who are here who are undocumented. It certainly applies 821 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 2: to people who are visa holders and who are legal 822 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: permanent residents. And I think that our government should be 823 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 2: in the business of following the law and also of 824 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 2: preserving civil and human rights. 825 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 4: Yes, I think that that is. 826 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 2: I think when we let go of that, I think 827 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 2: that can quickly go to a very scary place. 828 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: I just don't think that that's true. 829 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 2: And that's why I can't just hand wave away. Oh 830 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 2: it's just two hundred people, So who really the hell 831 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 2: cares what happens. 832 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 3: I had to listen to four years of leftists talking 833 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 3: about Joe Biden, and then in that time period I 834 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 3: hear to fire the Supreme Court, fire the parliamentarian, forget 835 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 3: about norms. We need to legalize weed by executive order. 836 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 3: We need to make it so that Harvard kids get 837 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 3: free student loans. I mean, come on, have I not 838 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 3: been listening to Brianna Joy Gray and all these people 839 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 3: talking about this for years. 840 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: They never cared then, because that was for ends that. 841 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 3: You thought were justified. This is a similar way.

So now we're just 892 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 2: going to line them up and firing squad. 893 00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: We're just going to that's a ridiculous state. 894 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 2: No, it's not because you said it's going to be. 895 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 4: You know, they can do whatever. 896 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: It's actually not within their powers. 897 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 2: Okay, the point, but what but they're they're claiming these 898 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,280 Speaker 2: wartime powers, right, so you know if if you say, okay, 899 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 2: well there they have the right to do whatever they 900 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 2: possibly can to facilitate this. Like where is the line 901 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 2: of what would be too far of where you would say, 902 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 2: you know what that is? That is against my moral compass, 903 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 2: that is too cruel, that is wrong. And even if 904 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 2: there was some legal, you know, legal fig leaf that 905 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 2: they could claim that, you would say that was too far. 906 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: I think you just named it. And I'm not for 907 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: mass murder. 908 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 4: I'm not for it, But you're for you're okay with 909 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 4: if they get tortured. 910 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 3: Well, no, I didn't say I'm okay with their getting tortured. 911 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 3: What I'm saying is that I'm okay with deportation. And 912 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, what happens outside the borders. 913 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 3: Let's say we send them to Venezuela, which apparently is 914 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 3: so horrible as you're saying. And we deport them to 915 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 3: Venezuela and the Venezuelan government tortures them. Are we called 916 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 3: criminally responsible for that or moral responsible? 917 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 4: That's ludicrous photograph. You have to see the no no, no no. 918 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: I actually don't because we're. 919 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 2: Not contracted with the El Salvador government. We made an 920 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 2: intentional choice to send them to this. 921 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: Okay, but whys ability? 922 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 3: Let's say we send them back to Maduro, they get 923 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 3: off the plane and Maduro shoots him in the head. 924 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: Is that supposedly? 925 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 4: I mean, personally, I think that they should. 926 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: That people who are here, you're allowed to stay. 927 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 2: Should be able to claim asylum and continue with the 928 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 2: temporary protected stats that they've had Venezuela, Haiti and a 929 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 2: lot of other places. 930 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 3: Absolute vast majority of these people have bullshit asylum claims 931 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 3: of which they are adjudicated. 932 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: Yes, how are we supposed to adjudicate that? Right now? 933 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 3: Where currently there are forty seven thousand beds for ICE 934 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 3: which are already a complete capacity to even facilitate deportation. 935 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: There are five almost million. 936 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 2: Surge immigration judges, so that you have increased capacity to 937 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 2: be able to adjudicate asylum claims. 938 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 3: So and in the interim, what happens they get to 939 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 3: stay here illegally, Yes, exactly, which at the end of 940 00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,919 Speaker 3: the day you think that's fine. 941 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that's yeah. Yeah, and luckily and the 942 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: vast majority of people do not agree with it. 943 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 2: And you think, though, in response to that, that it's 944 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 2: okay to not just to support them, but to send 945 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 2: them to this prison with the expectation that they're likely. 946 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 4: To be tortured. 947 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 3: I mean, you can say that you're not going to 948 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 3: put words in my mouth I am for a deportation, 949 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 3: but again I do. This is why I find this 950 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 3: incredibly tiresome. At the end of the day, you were fine. 951 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 3: Not just you, many liberal Democrats and others facilitated the 952 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 3: greatest social experiment in modern American history. Let's increase the 953 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 3: foreign born population, the vast majority of them illegal immigrants, 954 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 3: of who we have no idea who these people are. 955 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 3: They're coming over here, many are committing crimes, and then 956 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 3: we'll just decide that we are going to pretend none 957 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 3: of it ever happened, that actually we're for border security 958 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 3: or increased immigration. 959 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: Judges that's another question. Why do you now want. 960 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 3: Orderly deportation when you were fine with disorderly or disorderly 961 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 3: mass migration. If that is the case, then this is 962 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,919 Speaker 3: an explicit acknowledgment that the previous status quo was both 963 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 3: outrageous and was genuinely detrimental to the interests of the 964 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 3: United States. But since they're here now they have to stay. 965 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 3: It's all convoluted and it makes no sense. 966 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 4: Okay, this is. 967 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: Depoor tastes of people who are here illegal, but. 968 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 2: The specifics matter of how it's done. 969 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,800 Speaker 1: Would you not say? 970 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:20,879 Speaker 4: Well, and so what. 971 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying in my definition on Pacific is pretty different. 972 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 2: Can we can disagree very much on what the proper 973 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 2: levels of migration are and how that should be handled, 974 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 2: et cetera. Now where you are where we are, and 975 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 2: there's a question of how you respond. One way to 976 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 2: respond is to use the actual, like normal legal tools 977 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 2: available and avail yourself of those while maintaining civil rights 978 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 2: in the country. The other one is the one that 979 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 2: Trump has chosen here to claim wartime authority when we're 980 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 2: not at war and to summarily deport people that we 981 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 2: don't know who they are. In defiance of a court 982 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 2: order to a foreign prison where they are likely to 983 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 2: be tortured. There was nothing about what led up to 984 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 2: this that necessitated that reaction. 985 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 3: I think that it is again very tiresome and hypocritical, 986 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 3: especially coming from people who I know I wanted Joe 987 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 3: Biden to use extraordinary interpretations of. 988 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,399 Speaker 4: Did I want Joe Biden to torture people you didn't 989 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 4: want to? 990 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 2: Did I want Joe Biden random Did I want Joe 991 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 2: Biden to randomly disappear people into a prison somewhere where 992 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 2: no lawyer can or journalists can reach them to figure 993 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 2: out who the hell they are what's happened? 994 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 4: No, of course I did. 995 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 3: Yes, you only want them to mass legalize marijuana, which 996 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 3: they didn't have the power to do, or to write 997 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 3: off student. 998 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 2: You really see the difference between like legalizing marijuana and 999 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 2: torturing people. I mean, these are two like qualitatively very 1000 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 2: different things I underlook. 1001 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,399 Speaker 3: I think that the central problem is that you really 1002 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 3: think that you're just morally correct in this one. And 1003 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it's a legal question 1004 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 3: which is both up to the Supreme Court and a 1005 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 3: popular question can be in which the vast majority of 1006 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 3: people do not question with the position that you hold. 1007 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 4: It can be both a legal question and a moral question. 1008 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine. 1009 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,800 Speaker 3: I think that if you want to hold that opinion, 1010 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 3: I think that's perfectly fine. You made that opinion clear. 1011 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 3: Many people have hold your opinion, have held that clear. 1012 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: Luckily. 1013 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 3: I think it's been destroyed at the ballot box correctly, 1014 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 3: because it is one that is both detrimental to our 1015 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,359 Speaker 3: country and genuinely just ridiculous and falls apart on its 1016 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 3: own logical phrase. 1017 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 4: Remember Trump saying that he was going to send. 1018 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 1: Me literally alien I don't think. 1019 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 2: I don't remember Trump running on shipping random people to 1020 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 2: a foreign prison to be tortured somehow. I don't remember 1021 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 2: that being a core part of his pitch. But you 1022 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 2: know what, even if it was, and even if people 1023 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 2: voted for that, again, there are certain things that have 1024 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 2: been popular throughout our history that were wrong, and I 1025 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,359 Speaker 2: think that it's important to say that at the time 1026 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 2: when it's unpopular. I think it's important to be able 1027 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 2: to see those things and to call them out in 1028 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 2: real time. Japanese internment being one of them, being the 1029 00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 2: last time that. 1030 00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,359 Speaker 4: Big law was ultimately used. 1031 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 3: That's a huge diff fence Kormatsu, the Supreme Court decision 1032 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,760 Speaker 3: and Japanese in tournament was used against citizens of them. 1033 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 2: But the Supreme Court said it was fine, So it 1034 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 2: wasn't it fine? People voted for it, and the Supreme 1035 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 2: Court though it was every time. 1036 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 3: I'm so righted about it, and the Supreme Court also 1037 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 3: has apologized or reversed its own decision on that. I'm 1038 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 3: not saying that it's a perfect institution or that any 1039 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 3: of these things are good and bad, however. 1040 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 2: But isn't it possible to have a separate moral judgment 1041 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,720 Speaker 2: outside of what the electoral results said and the Supreme 1042 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 2: Court been upholding them. 1043 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: Yes, of course there is. 1044 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 3: I just don't think that this is the similar situation 1045 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 3: in any way, and I think that you're ignoring the 1046 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 3: broader context which led to this entire thing, of which, frankly, 1047 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 3: in my opinion, is far more morally reprehensible. Is to 1048 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,439 Speaker 3: let in so many people with no idea who they are, 1049 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 3: many of whom commit crimes, and then to just sit 1050 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,720 Speaker 3: and only get outraged whenever a popular revolt against that happens, 1051 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 3: and have to know outrightage I am there at the 1052 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 3: time of which I know that there was none on 1053 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 3: your part, and definitely on rage. 1054 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 2: I am outraged by the idea that government could claim 1055 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 2: such broad powers and that all of us could be 1056 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 2: subject to their whims. 1057 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 3: And you know, I think what we also were United 1058 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 3: States citizens is just not remotely common. 1059 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 2: I think what we've seen is I don't think that's true. 1060 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 2: And here's look, I think what we've already seen with 1061 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 2: the case, for example of Mackmoud Khalil is it's like, okay, 1062 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 2: started off with you know, they thought he was a 1063 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,840 Speaker 2: student visa holder. It turns out he's a legal permanent resident, 1064 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 2: and it's like, oh, but he's still not an American citizen. Well, 1065 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 2: now they're investigating all power or the ones at Columbia 1066 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 2: as being the pro Palestine protest as being terrorism. Well, 1067 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 2: that is very much about American citizens. And so that's 1068 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 2: you know, number one, Yes, I do care about human rights. 1069 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 3: But they're not What do you mean they're American citizens 1070 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 3: at Columbia. You're saying they're investigating people there. 1071 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 2: For yes, they're investigating what. No, they're investigating whether the 1072 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 2: pro Palestine protests that happen on Columbia constitute terrorism, with 1073 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 2: the implication being that anyone who was involved with them 1074 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 2: could be charged with crimes related to terrorism. So my 1075 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:10,359 Speaker 2: point is that when when civil rights are violated, it 1076 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 2: doesn't just stay in one corner, It doesn't just stay 1077 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 2: with this group that you happen to feel comfortable with. 1078 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 2: And yes, by the way, I do think, you know, 1079 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 2: torture is wrong, and I do think due process is 1080 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 2: the way things should be done, so that the government 1081 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 2: has to prove the claims that it's making in court. 1082 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 2: And I think it's outrageous that you know that that 1083 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 2: didn't happen in this instance. And I don't care that 1084 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 2: it was just two hundred people that were disappeared into 1085 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 2: a foreign prison without any due process whatsoever. So and 1086 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,439 Speaker 2: nor do I think that it stops there, like they're 1087 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 2: going to court to try to be able to pursue 1088 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 2: this path continuously, you know, And and so yeah, that's 1089 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 2: I think that this is a I think this is 1090 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:02,399 Speaker 2: a very frightening authoritarian, fascist power grab. And I think 1091 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 2: that our institutions have not only proven inadequate to be 1092 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 2: able to stem the tide, but also the Trump administration 1093 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 2: clearly uses whatever opportunities they can to defy court orders 1094 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 2: and pursue their own ambitions here. 1095 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 3: I think that I understand where you're coming from, and 1096 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,720 Speaker 3: I could see how people liberals or whatever could feel 1097 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 3: that way. What I would ask again is to see 1098 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 3: how did we get to this extraordinary situation, and you 1099 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 3: should make some serious political calculus, in my opinion, to 1100 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 3: look to the past and to not call out many 1101 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 3: of the outrages that have happened and the status quo 1102 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 3: changed that Joe Biden and many other liberals facilitated by 1103 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 3: allowing so many people here illegally and then to just 1104 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 3: you know, cry tears whenever the logical consequence of that 1105 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,320 Speaker 3: comes to bear. It just seems, you know, very rewriting 1106 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 3: of history, and one where it's also it fits very well, 1107 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,399 Speaker 3: I think with my AOC point of the future, when 1108 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 3: she was creaming and crying in front of those deportation 1109 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:03,359 Speaker 3: facilities under Donald Trump and went viral, or whenever her 1110 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 3: fist was raised and she was justifying theft and crime 1111 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 3: during BLM, they thought, as you did, that they were 1112 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,839 Speaker 3: morally correct, as you feel out in this moment that 1113 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 3: not only was a rejected at the ballot box, but 1114 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 3: it was one that both actually led to worse outcomes 1115 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,960 Speaker 3: because what did Biden do Yes, Even with all of 1116 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 3: this mass allowing of people in, he continued many policies 1117 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 3: from the Trump administration, of which they fell silent then 1118 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 3: at that time. So it became clear that this is 1119 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 3: not true moral standards or whatever. It's about political convenience. 1120 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 3: And throughout the through line of all of this comes 1121 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,280 Speaker 3: back to the status quo was irrevocably changed under Biden. 1122 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 3: It became not only a popular but I think an 1123 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 3: imminent and dangerous thing to the fabric of the United States. 1124 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 3: You just allow these mass criminal illegals here. We have 1125 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 3: no idea who they are. The vast majority of them 1126 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,359 Speaker 3: don't speak any English, The vast majority of them don't 1127 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 3: have any idea occasion. They have no able or you know, 1128 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 3: real ability to fit into the US economy beyond the 1129 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 3: service sector, which you know that seems a little bit 1130 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,879 Speaker 3: demeaning to me, and was not only affirmed but then 1131 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 3: used to the best of their abilities their powers the 1132 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 3: government to facilitate deportation. And the crazy thing is you 1133 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 3: and I are arguing is if ten million people are 1134 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 3: being deported tomorrow, that's not what happened at all. 1135 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: All of this court order is being complied with today, 1136 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: they're not continuing to It's going to go to the 1137 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:28,800 Speaker 1: US Supreme Court. 1138 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 3: All of this will face judicial scrutiny the Supreme Court orias, 1139 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:31,919 Speaker 3: and will come back. 1140 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: I'll sit here and I'm relatively. 1141 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 3: Certain the government would comply with that order that would 1142 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 3: bring these people back, and then this alien enemies with 1143 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,240 Speaker 3: this alien enemies thing will go through the legal process. 1144 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 3: But the point is is that all of this, I 1145 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 3: think again comes back to a dramatic change to our country, 1146 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 3: of which I think you were fine with and I 1147 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 3: think many others were, and then are shocked at the 1148 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 3: genuine consequences of what that means when it interacts with. 1149 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 2: Them not have what does he not have agency in 1150 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 2: how he responds to things, Like you want to say, 1151 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 2: this is like somehow Biden's fault that Trump decided that 1152 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 2: Trump decided that he was going to use a wartime 1153 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 2: power grab in order to facilitate the summary deportation of 1154 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 2: migrants into a foreign torture chamber like Trump. 1155 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:29,800 Speaker 4: That is on Trump. 1156 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 2: Now you can object to how Biden handled migration, and 1157 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 2: that's fine, but it still is on Trump the way 1158 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 2: that he responds to that situation, and he responded with 1159 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,759 Speaker 2: authoritarian power grab and defiance of the courts and disappearing 1160 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 2: hundreds of people that he claims are gang members with 1161 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,440 Speaker 2: zero proof and with a lot of proof in the 1162 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 2: other direction, in order to be tortured in a foreign 1163 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 2: person cell. 1164 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,399 Speaker 1: Okay, that's on him. 1165 00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 3: I don't think that, well, you know what, You're right, 1166 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 3: it is on him. It will face legal scrutiny. I 1167 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 3: think it will also if you totally disagree with it. 1168 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 3: People are welcome to run for office and to revert 1169 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,399 Speaker 3: if you want to bring all these people back, you know, Okay, 1170 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 3: be my guest if you win the if you win 1171 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 3: the election. But I mean, at a certain point, it 1172 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 3: is one of those where I don't think it's deniable 1173 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 3: that not only was this something that was literally promised 1174 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 3: to do, that was telegraphed that I think falls within 1175 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 3: the bounds of legal scrutiny of the way that it 1176 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 3: was carried out, and which one is genuinely addressing a 1177 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 3: real problem that is facing the US. I just think 1178 00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 3: the biggest difference between us right now is that you 1179 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 3: think that previous one was not actually a problem or 1180 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 3: was extremely diminishable and is not one which requires extraordinary action, 1181 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 3: and I'm somebody who does I think that that was 1182 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 3: genuinely affirmed at the ballot box. Not only that, but 1183 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 3: falls within the bounds of where a government scrutiny can 1184 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 3: And it's just going to have to be not even 1185 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 3: in an agree or disagree situation, it is going to 1186 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 3: be one where I genuinely am curious not only to 1187 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,080 Speaker 3: see how the Supreme Court handles this decision. And if 1188 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 3: the government does openly flout that U let's say, they 1189 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 3: refuse to bring them back or they continue to do this, 1190 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 3: then I think we will be in a very similar 1191 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 3: situation to the one that you're describing as some sort 1192 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 3: of like imminent crisis. But I just don't think that 1193 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 3: we're there yet, and I don't think that we are 1194 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 3: going to get there. I don't think so, not the 1195 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,320 Speaker 3: way that this is all currently being handled. 1196 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 2: All Right, So we argued about that for a really 1197 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,399 Speaker 2: long time. So we're going to skip a couple of things. 1198 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,680 Speaker 2: The ECON and the Israel block are both going we'll 1199 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,439 Speaker 2: get to those tomorrow, but we wanted to update on Yemen, 1200 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 2: so let's go ahead and get to that. 1201 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 3: So the United States has decided to start bombing Yemen 1202 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,400 Speaker 3: again for what purpose, Well, we'll get to that. So 1203 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 3: they released some video of the latest operation that Donald 1204 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 3: Trump ordered in retaliation against the Hoothy's disruption of shipping lanes. 1205 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,360 Speaker 1: Let's go and put this on the screen. 1206 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 3: You can see that this was released from Scentcom Operations 1207 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 3: firing multiple missiles and projectiles onto Yemen, targeting hoo They leadership, 1208 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 3: including the use there of the US aircraft carrier. 1209 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,400 Speaker 1: Which is in the region. 1210 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 3: These were some of the videos from Yemen that actually 1211 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 3: came out showing the strikes. The retaliation was ordered by 1212 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:15,080 Speaker 3: Trump for these attacks on shipping lanes. Let's go and 1213 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 3: put this up there on the screen. Released from Trump's 1214 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,280 Speaker 3: truth social account today, I have ordered the United States 1215 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 3: military to launch decisive and powerful military action against the 1216 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 3: Houthi terrorists and Yemen. 1217 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 1: They have waged an unrelenting. 1218 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 3: Campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against the US and 1219 00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 3: other ships, aircrafts, and drones. Now, the problem with this 1220 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,479 Speaker 3: is the assumption that apparently you think you can deal 1221 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 3: with this Houthi problem with just bombs and missiles alone. 1222 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:51,160 Speaker 3: In fact, Jeremy Skahell flags something which is genuinely incredible 1223 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,760 Speaker 3: to me, which is that just in the last thirty years, 1224 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,320 Speaker 3: the US has used more missiles for quote, air defense 1225 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 3: in combat against the Houthies since October twenty twenty three 1226 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 3: then it used in all the years from Desert Storm 1227 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 3: in the nineteen nineties. So we have not only bombarded 1228 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,800 Speaker 3: Yemen just ourselves in retaliation for these hoo They attacks. 1229 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 3: It's also ignoring that the Saudis did not bomb Yemen 1230 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 3: for what five straight years as supplied by the United States, 1231 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 3: causing who knows untold amounts of death. The problem that 1232 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 3: they assume is that there's a military solution to this 1233 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 3: entire problem, and instead they refuse to pursue a diplomatic solution, 1234 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 3: one which had been working whenever there was a real 1235 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 3: Ceasemirre and Gaza, there's no Hoothi attacks. Now their argument 1236 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 3: there is, oh, we're allowing blackmail. It's like, well, absent 1237 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 3: a literal US combat invasion of Yemen, which I don't 1238 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 3: think is worth it, this is the only option we 1239 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 3: have diplomacy, or we could have ceasefire policy, but instead 1240 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 3: we've decided to just basically like flex the muscles and 1241 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 3: all that. And people are saying, oh, are you arguing 1242 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,000 Speaker 3: against the legitimacy of the operation. No, that's not what 1243 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 3: we're saying. What we're saying is we tried this. We 1244 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 3: tried it at a bunch of different times. All of 1245 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 3: this has been tried by Obama, tried by Biden, by Trump, 1246 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 3: at Trump last time around. We're almost eight years to 1247 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 3: the day since Trump launched a combat invasion in our 1248 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 3: combat operation in Yemen in the first term, and in 1249 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 3: that time period, the status quo has not only changed, 1250 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,320 Speaker 3: it's actually gotten worse for our overall interests. The only 1251 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 3: time that anything is stopped has been a diplomatic solution 1252 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 3: in Gaza, and it's increasingly clear that there are huge 1253 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 3: headwinds in the diplomatic solution, in the diplomatic solution way 1254 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 3: against both from the Israelis and sections of our own government, 1255 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 3: that are going to make it less likely that we 1256 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 3: pursue that, and in that event, we're going to have 1257 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 3: more problems in. 1258 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 1: The Middle East. 1259 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. So Trump's statement here is also very misleading because actually, 1260 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 2: there haven't been US ships that have been targeted by 1261 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 2: the who thies ever since that ceasefire was instituted. I mean, 1262 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 2: this is the thing they always the media and the 1263 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,560 Speaker 2: administration always tries to hide the ball, and both this 1264 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 2: one and the last one, by the way, which is 1265 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 2: that the Huthis have been very clear this is a 1266 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 2: response to the Israeli assault and genocide in Gaza. So 1267 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 2: when the ceasefire was on, guess what, there were no 1268 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,600 Speaker 2: hoothy attacks, not on US ships, not on Israelis ships, 1269 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,840 Speaker 2: et cetera. What has changed is not only has that 1270 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 2: ceasefire broken down israel Is bombing in Gaza, but more specifically, 1271 00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 2: they are blocking humanitarian aid. They have reinstituted, with our support, 1272 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 2: the total and complete siege of Gaza. So the who 1273 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 2: Thi's that? Okay, well, this is how we're going to respond. 1274 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,000 Speaker 2: Not even actually I don't think they directly originally threatened 1275 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 2: US ships. It was we're going to you know, we're 1276 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:47,160 Speaker 2: going to resume our threats versus Israeli ships. And so, 1277 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,400 Speaker 2: you know, rather than us coming in and say, okay, well, 1278 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,400 Speaker 2: let's get back to the ceasefire and let's actually pursue 1279 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 2: the ceasefire that the Trump administration negotiated. And by the way, 1280 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 2: age should be able to get into Gaza. You should 1281 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 2: be you know, collectively punishmenting and starving an entire population. Instead, 1282 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 2: we decided to effectively do Israel's bidding here and bomb 1283 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 2: the Houthies now, putting our own ships at risk. The 1284 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 2: Houthis have claimed retaliation, sort of unconfirmed whether they were 1285 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 2: successful in that or not, but there's no doubt that 1286 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,600 Speaker 2: our ships, and they're saying both military now and commercial 1287 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 2: flagged ships are at risk in this passage. In addition, 1288 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to gloss over the damage that our 1289 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 2: strikes did. You know, Yemen is the poorest country in 1290 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 2: the region. Capital city Sana is very you know, this 1291 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 2: is a beleaguered area to begin with, and the strikes 1292 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 2: reportedly killed thirty one people injured over one hundred more, 1293 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,560 Speaker 2: most of them were women and children. Not a lot 1294 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 2: of indication that it was like, you know, super precise 1295 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 2: military targeting. There were certain civilian targets that were hit. 1296 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,240 Speaker 2: There's a claim that a cancer hospital was hit as 1297 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 2: part of these as part of these strikes. So you know, 1298 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 2: the US is being accused by the Houthies of committing 1299 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 2: war crimes here as well, but all in the service 1300 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 2: not even of our own interests, but to back up 1301 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,840 Speaker 2: the Israelis in their desire to continue this season and 1302 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,439 Speaker 2: blockade of the Gaza strip. 1303 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's put D four up on the screen. This 1304 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 3: was from the who these they said quote regarding the 1305 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 3: implementation the operation was in response to the US aggression 1306 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 3: that targeted several government directorates with more than forty seven 1307 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 3: air strikes, and then put D five up there as 1308 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 3: well in terms of them vowing retaliation against the United States. 1309 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 3: I mean, look, do we think that they're going to 1310 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 3: sink an aircraft carrier? Yeah, probably not, But are they 1311 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 3: going to require more anti ship missiles or other things 1312 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 3: used on behalf of the United States? And the problem, 1313 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 3: as we again have shown, is that we have tried 1314 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,440 Speaker 3: the full court military press solution here. 1315 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,480 Speaker 1: That's what Biden tried to do. He tried to solve 1316 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:52,520 Speaker 1: this at the time. 1317 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 3: You can't really deny that, to be honest, considering the 1318 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 3: number of munitions and the number of bombing runs and 1319 01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 3: retaliations and all that were. 1320 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,760 Speaker 1: To restore global shipping. 1321 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 3: We simply don't have the ability unless we literally occupy Yemen. 1322 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 3: So at this point it just comes back to me 1323 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 3: that they're basically falling into the same trap where yeah, 1324 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 3: it's convenient to bomb them and just be like yeah, okay, 1325 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 3: you know, we tried or whatever, and then we just 1326 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 3: keep doing this like tit for tat approach. It's not 1327 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,680 Speaker 3: getting us anywhere. We have the same economic consequences, the 1328 01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 3: same military issues as well. I mean, you know, we 1329 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 3: never talk about this, but every time you fire one 1330 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 3: of these projectiles it costs a million bucks or a 1331 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 3: million five for what reason. You don't remember when we 1332 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,240 Speaker 3: shot down all those missiles on Israel's behalf. I mean, 1333 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 3: it costs over a billion dollars just in that single operation, 1334 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 3: not to mention the depleting of stocks for what purpose, 1335 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 3: not hours last time I checked. So it just continues 1336 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,240 Speaker 3: where when you continue to like fall in this direction, 1337 01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 3: you're not moving forward to any solution which is in 1338 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 3: any way both acceptable to the people who are firing 1339 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 3: the missiles who get a say, not saying it's a 1340 01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 3: good thing, but they have a say as long as 1341 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 3: they have that ability without us being able to change 1342 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,479 Speaker 3: that unless we pursue a diplomatic course in Gosam, which 1343 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:05,000 Speaker 3: I don't think. 1344 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's going to happen or not. 1345 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 3: That's a whole other can of worms here, but this 1346 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 3: would be more evidence to me that that should be 1347 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 3: pursued and unfortunately, will probably be taken in the opposite direction. 1348 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the point about cost is an important one 1349 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 2: right now at a moment when this government, this administration 1350 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 2: is supposedly pursuing this path of usterity. So it's like, 1351 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,160 Speaker 2: we don't have money to send out all the Social 1352 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 2: Security checks, but we do have money for We always 1353 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 2: have money for us. This money just magically falls out 1354 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,520 Speaker 2: of the sky. It's never any problem funding these sorts 1355 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 2: of things. And by the way, if you look at 1356 01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 2: the Doge, there's a chart out there of like the 1357 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 2: contracts they've canceled. Next to none of them have been 1358 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 2: from the Pentagon, I believe. Of their claimed savings, it's 1359 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 2: zero point zero five percent came out of the Pentagon, 1360 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 2: which no surprise given that Elon is one of the 1361 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 2: Pentagon's larger subcontractors. 1362 01:03:58,760 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 4: So there you go. 1363 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,280 Speaker 3: All right, Well, I'm sure you've got some looks here 1364 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 3: more at Elon anti semitism, Crystal, what are you taking 1365 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 3: a look at? 1366 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 2: Well, if you had to sketch a portrait of the 1367 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 2: ideal type of person to be your neighbor or your 1368 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 2: community member, your fellow citizen, you'd be hard pressed to 1369 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 2: find a more compelling resume than that of Mackmoud Khalil. 1370 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,480 Speaker 4: He was born into a refugee camp in Syria. 1371 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 2: He defied the odds to ascend to one of America's 1372 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 2: pre eminent Ivy League universities, met the woman of his 1373 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 2: dreams while leading a group of volunteers, including some Americans, 1374 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 2: to educate displaced Syrian children who were in Lebanon. He 1375 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 2: had just completed a master's of public administration. He was 1376 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 2: all set to settle into his new life at a 1377 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 2: new job and as a new father. He and his wife, 1378 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 2: an American dentist raised in Michigan named Nor, are expecting 1379 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 2: in April. Even more telling of his character are the 1380 01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 2: little anecdotes offered by friends and fellow students who submitted 1381 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 2: letters to the court, which paint an image of Khalil 1382 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 2: that is the polar opposite of what the government would 1383 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,040 Speaker 2: want you to believe about him. So the government says, 1384 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,200 Speaker 2: he supports from us well. An American Jewish woman who 1385 01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 2: believes in the importance of Israel as a Jewish homeland 1386 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 2: told the court quote, I can state with full confidence 1387 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 2: Machmud has never expressed the port for hamas the government 1388 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 2: says his activities fuel anti Semitism. 1389 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 4: Another Jewish student told the court that on. 1390 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,680 Speaker 2: The contrary, when a protester veered into anti Semitic rhetoric, 1391 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 2: Machmud was the first person to object and to intervene. Now, 1392 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 2: Mackmud himself went out of his way to tell CNN 1393 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 2: that his goal was to uplift both Jewish and Palestinian people, 1394 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 2: saying he saw the liberation of the two peoples as intertwined. Quote, 1395 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 2: you cannot achieve one without the other. The government, in 1396 01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,680 Speaker 2: attempting to remove Mackmud, is saying he would be a 1397 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,200 Speaker 2: detriment to our society at large. Now, in my personal opinion, 1398 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 2: you see a person's character in the way that they 1399 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,360 Speaker 2: treat the people around them in day to day life. 1400 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 2: Letters to the court say that Machmud is the kind 1401 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 2: of guy who would bring the doorman in his building chicken, tea, 1402 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 2: fruit and cake to help him break his fast during Ramadan, 1403 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 2: That he built community with fellow Jewish students attending Shabbad 1404 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,880 Speaker 2: at their homes. That he was engaged in American political life. 1405 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 2: He was looking forward to being able to vote and 1406 01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 2: to participate. Look, maybe the government uncovered some secret life 1407 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 2: that's going to turn the impression that many of his 1408 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 2: classmates and friends shared of a conscientious activist committed to 1409 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,200 Speaker 2: tolerance and non violence on its head. 1410 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 4: But frankly, I'd be surprised. 1411 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,840 Speaker 2: The worst thing the Internet has been able to unearth 1412 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 2: is a video of him flipping off a camera, a 1413 01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 2: great American tradition, but actually the government demonization of the 1414 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 2: clean cut Khalil is a perfect emblem of the up 1415 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 2: and down left his right way that they have approached 1416 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 2: their authoritarian crackdown here because at the core of their 1417 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 2: current illiberal power grab is the weaponization of the liberal 1418 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:35,400 Speaker 2: value of anti bagratry and specifically anti Semitism. They are 1419 01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,960 Speaker 2: stripping the rights of all freedom loving people, citizen and 1420 01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 2: non in the US in the name of targeting anti Semitism. 1421 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 2: They've taken the authoritarian bent in Wolkism and cancel culture 1422 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,160 Speaker 2: at its worst and turned it up to full fascism. Now, 1423 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,640 Speaker 2: if you think you're safe because you trust this present, 1424 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 2: or maybe you hold the correct opinions on this issue, 1425 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 2: think again. When rights are taken, they're taken from all. 1426 01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 2: And the trumpetman has already moved from threatening foreign students 1427 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 2: to threatening American citizens in a single week. 1428 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 4: It is truly chilling. In addition to. 1429 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,439 Speaker 2: Their arrest of Khalil, consider the sweep of their power 1430 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,400 Speaker 2: grap around anti semitism. In just the past ten days. 1431 01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,520 Speaker 2: They stripped four hundred million dollars in funding from Colombia 1432 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,480 Speaker 2: and placed its Middle Eastern Studies department in receivership, while 1433 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 2: completely ignoring laws requiring notification investigation in those guarding academic freedom. 1434 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,160 Speaker 2: They sent letters to sixty other universities threatening similar crackdowns 1435 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 2: if they do not comply with vague demands to effectively 1436 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 2: combat anti Semitism. They're deploying AI to crawl through social 1437 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,320 Speaker 2: media accounts in order to find additional targets for deportation 1438 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 2: based on wrong think on Israel. Perhaps there was a 1439 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 2: result of this effort, another Columbia student on a student 1440 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,280 Speaker 2: visa was forced to flee the country. Her greatest involvement 1441 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 2: in pro Palestine protests was liking and resharing some posts 1442 01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,640 Speaker 2: and signing on to at least one open letter calling 1443 01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:53,520 Speaker 2: for Palestinian liberation. She described herself as quote Justin Rando, 1444 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,920 Speaker 2: not anywhere close to a protest leader. Four, the Department 1445 01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 2: of Justice announced that the government is investigating whether to 1446 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:04,680 Speaker 2: charge American students who participated in pro Palestine protests as terrorists. 1447 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 2: Academic freedom destroyed, due process, jettisoned free speech, crushed power, consolidated, 1448 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,760 Speaker 2: all under the guise of fighting the alleged bigotry of 1449 01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 2: people who were disgusted to see our government complicit in 1450 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 2: mass slaughter of civilians. Even many diehard Zionists are sounding 1451 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 2: the alarm. Eli Lake, who is nothing if not committed 1452 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 2: to hatred of pro Palestine protesters, tweeted this quote. If 1453 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 2: Maka Khalil is charged and convicted of an actual crime, 1454 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,800 Speaker 2: he should be deported. If his crime is just the 1455 01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,959 Speaker 2: expression of support for a terrorist organization, then this pageant 1456 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 2: is grotesque. And yes, I realize that their harassment of Jews, 1457 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,600 Speaker 2: destruction of property, etc. Is not protected speech, but the 1458 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,879 Speaker 2: legal argument thus far amounts to saying permanent legal residents 1459 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:53,200 Speaker 2: can't say anything that the Secretary of State believes undermines 1460 01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,679 Speaker 2: US foreign policy. That is a horrendous violation of free speech. 1461 01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 2: And as much as I despise campus solidarity with baby stranglers, 1462 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,559 Speaker 2: I love American values more. Bill Maher, to my somewhat surprise, 1463 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,799 Speaker 2: also weighed in on behalf of Khalil, viewing the assault 1464 01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 2: on him as an attack on free speech. 1465 01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 5: Then there's this issue of Mahmoud Khalil. He is one 1466 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,200 Speaker 5: of the protesters, the Palestinian protesters, and I don't agree 1467 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 5: with his point of view, but you know what, if 1468 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,439 Speaker 5: you're an honest person, you have to defend him if 1469 01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 5: you believe in free speech, because that's what free speech means. 1470 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:27,960 Speaker 5: I say it all the time when it's on the 1471 01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,600 Speaker 5: other foot, and I can't change because it's now this guy. 1472 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 5: It's defending the dirt bags you hate. So this guy, 1473 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 5: now here's what's fire. And I love this organization that's 1474 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,760 Speaker 5: the foundation for individual rights and expression. And they go 1475 01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,759 Speaker 5: after the left a lot mostly, but they're honest. They said, 1476 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 5: if the government has got anything other than just somebody 1477 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 5: who is saying things they don't like talking about this guy, 1478 01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 5: they need to show it now because otherwise the harm 1479 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,599 Speaker 5: to First Amendment freedoms will be serious. And I think 1480 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,040 Speaker 5: that's true. I don't think they have anything on this 1481 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 5: guy other than he's saying things that I can't believe 1482 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 5: kids believe now. I did not see this coming, this 1483 01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 5: bizarre alliance of jihadism and wokeism, you know, infatada is 1484 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,799 Speaker 5: the only solution. Really, Infatada is the only solution global. 1485 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,839 Speaker 5: And that's where this guy is. I think it's horrible. 1486 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 5: He hates this country, he hates Western civilization, and I 1487 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 5: defend to his death the right to. 1488 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:33,720 Speaker 2: Say protecting speech you don't like is, of course the 1489 01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 2: whole point of the First Amendment. What's more, doesn't take 1490 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 2: a rocket scientist to figure out that Jews are not 1491 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 2: safe when disfavored groups start getting singled out, criminalized, rounded 1492 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,600 Speaker 2: up by the federal government. Neither, for that matter, is 1493 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,680 Speaker 2: anyone else. Today it's them, tomorrow could be you. Once 1494 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 2: a president claims the power to punish any speech that 1495 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,320 Speaker 2: they don't like, there are no limits to what that 1496 01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 2: can ultimately mean. Today it could be anti semitism, Tomorrow 1497 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,840 Speaker 2: could be anti racism. Today, it could be DEI wrong think. 1498 01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,760 Speaker 2: Tom could be climate denial. Today, it could be affiliating 1499 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,560 Speaker 2: with Democrats. Tomorrow it could be affiliating with Republicans. The 1500 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 2: next step in consciousness, though, is to realize that the 1501 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,560 Speaker 2: mass campaign by people like mar and Lake to demonize 1502 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 2: those with legitimate criticisms of Israel as violent, hateful, and 1503 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:20,080 Speaker 2: pro hamas is exactly the ideological framework that made the 1504 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,720 Speaker 2: current crackdown possible and easy. In Eli's tweet, he even 1505 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 2: says that Khalil expressed support for terrorists, which appears to 1506 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,679 Speaker 2: not be true at all. But once the pro Palestine 1507 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,840 Speaker 2: protests were portrayed by the liberal Biden administration as being 1508 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,559 Speaker 2: effectively hamas, it did not take a large leap to 1509 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 2: criminalize anyone who was affiliated with them to throw visa 1510 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,720 Speaker 2: holders and permanent residents out of the country altogether for 1511 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 2: participating or even for liking the wrong tweet, even those 1512 01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:49,240 Speaker 2: like Khalil who appear to have been completely law abiding. 1513 01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 2: In fairness, though, I think if it wasn't the anti 1514 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 2: semitism ruse, it would probably just be something else. After all, 1515 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,680 Speaker 2: It's not like this is the only way Trump is 1516 01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 2: consolidating power and crushing descent. The anti Semitism pulued is 1517 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 2: one branch of Trump's broader authoritarian push. He certainly doesn't 1518 01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,880 Speaker 2: care about actual anti Semitism. He regularly himself uses antisemitic 1519 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:10,920 Speaker 2: tropes by tying all Jews to the actions of Israel. 1520 01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,800 Speaker 2: As one example, his co president Elon spent in an 1521 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,400 Speaker 2: augeration day giving two Nazi salutes and got in trouble 1522 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,120 Speaker 2: before that for saying that an anti Semitic conspiracy theory 1523 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 2: was quote the actual truth instead play acting concern for 1524 01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,639 Speaker 2: anti Semitism. It's just the most convenient excuse flying around 1525 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 2: to hobble his enemies, crushed descent, undercut what he sees 1526 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,800 Speaker 2: as a rival power base in the university system, to 1527 01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,680 Speaker 2: stoke fear and garner compliance. Now, Trump promised in his 1528 01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 2: campaign he would pursue retribution, that he would terminate the constitution, 1529 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 2: that he would act as a dictator, and, judging from 1530 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,559 Speaker 2: his actions one way or another, he intends to make 1531 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 2: good on that pledge. Whether you're a media outlet that 1532 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,040 Speaker 2: he deems illegal, a law firm with the temerity to 1533 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:53,439 Speaker 2: represent one of his political opponents, or a government agency 1534 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:56,679 Speaker 2: with an unacceptable number of liberal staffers, he wants you afraid, 1535 01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 2: alone and cowering crushed. He will use the power of 1536 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 2: the state and his crew of loyalist gooons to achieve 1537 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,439 Speaker 2: that intended result. If crying anti semitism helps in his campaign, 1538 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,519 Speaker 2: he is happy to weaponize it, and it seems like 1539 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 2: he's just getting started. The move to invoke the Alien 1540 01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:15,559 Speaker 2: Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight claiming wartime powers not 1541 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,519 Speaker 2: used since Japanese internment suggests that this dark turn is 1542 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:19,799 Speaker 2: really just beginning. 1543 01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:21,160 Speaker 4: Next, we're going to. 1544 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,840 Speaker 2: See whether this all fuels public backlash that could stem 1545 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,200 Speaker 2: some of the worst abuses, whether the courts can act 1546 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 2: to sufficiently forestall the authoritarian slide, whether the liberal institutions 1547 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:35,759 Speaker 2: are remotely up to fighting an organized, lawless illiberal power grab. 1548 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,759 Speaker 2: So far, though, the indications are not all that promising. 1549 01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:41,799 Speaker 2: Looks like when Ice grab mock Mood, they didn't realize 1550 01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,040 Speaker 2: he was a Green card holder, and likely didn't realize 1551 01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,640 Speaker 2: how unimpeachably upstanding he would turn out to actually be 1552 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,439 Speaker 2: sort of living embodiment of the American cultural melting pot, 1553 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 2: good neighbor ideal. But whether it was intentional or not, 1554 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,200 Speaker 2: making an example out of mock Mood, ultimately it does 1555 01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,760 Speaker 2: serve their interests. If they can get away with it, 1556 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 2: then really no one else can feel safe, no matter 1557 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 2: how many Shabbats they attended, how many times they uplifted 1558 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 2: their Jewish friends, how courageously they protected them from hateful conduct, 1559 01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,080 Speaker 2: how academically accomplished and impressively credentialed, no matter how pregnant 1560 01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,839 Speaker 2: or how American, their wife happens to be. Everyone citizen 1561 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,320 Speaker 2: and non will get the message that nothing can protect them. 1562 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,280 Speaker 2: If the Trump regime decides they are to be punished, 1563 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 2: and that is precisely the point now. The only question 1564 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 2: that remains is will they get away with it? And 1565 01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:30,920 Speaker 2: it really is wild once you dig into who this 1566 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:31,599 Speaker 2: guy actually 1567 01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,439 Speaker 3: Is, how he is the and if you want to 1568 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,799 Speaker 3: hear my reaction to Crystal's monologue, become a premium subscriber 1569 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:49,679 Speaker 3: today at breakingpoints dot com.
