1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and welcome to stuff. 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: I never told you a prediction of iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: And before we start this Monday, Mini, I'm going to 4 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: put a time stamp because we are a little ahead 5 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 2: so getting things completed because we have future plans. So 6 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: today is April first, twenty twenty five. And as it stands, 7 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: you know, things change rapidly and we will see new 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 2: conversations about this, because this is going to. 9 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: Be a long, long process. 10 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: So before we start, I am in just to show 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 2: you know where I am personally, a whirlwind of anxiety 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: and fear, and I'm not gonna lie. As this new 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: administration or newer I guess this current administration has gotten 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: more embolden and doing things without justification or even actually legally, 15 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: I am in a state of fear. So as this 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: episode is being recorded, I'm currently getting ready for a 17 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: quick road trip to New Orleans, one of my favorite places. 18 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: But I have become really anxious about traveling, especially traveling 19 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 2: through Red states. 20 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: And I say this even in the state of Georgia. 21 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: I have had my fair share of racial profiling overall, 22 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: concerning looks from people who do not seem especially friendly 23 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: to people of color, marginalized people, anyone different. And although 24 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 2: I come from an area that is also very suspicious 25 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: of anyone of color or anybody who looks different, I 26 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: feel like this administration has made people really bowld in 27 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: upfront about these political views or ideals when it comes 28 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: to the decimation of civil rights and. 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: DEI so with that. 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: Fact, and then on top of that, we have white 31 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 2: supremaist groups, white supremacist groups getting funding to get military training, 32 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 2: which is really concerning. They're often protected by police and government. 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: We've seen that with different types of protests that have 34 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: happened and being pardoned for harassment, assaults, and even murder. 35 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: So yes, I am very fearful about things. And with that, 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: I have gotten into the practice of carrying my passport 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: around on the daily in fear of being approached by ice. 38 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: And recent stories have been coming out of different people 39 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: who've been detained without warrants or due process and being 40 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: essentially kidnapped and sold due to their ideology. The same 41 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: people who are saying that it would happen to them 42 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: if their holy beliefs had been used against them, and 43 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: you know, they also use this and saying that they're martyrs, 44 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: you know, and that they're being persecuted. They're the same 45 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: defenders who are cheering this on, saying that this is 46 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: God's will and they're getting rid of the bad people, 47 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: so bad beings essentially, if you don't believe what I 48 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: believe is what we're getting at, labeling anyone as terrorist 49 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: if they question the motives or actions of the current 50 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: administration and their allies, and using this as a defense 51 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: of trafficking people out. 52 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 3: So with all of that, this is very. 53 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: Personal to me. I'm not gonna go into too much detail. 54 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: I will say a lot of adoptees, like myself, have 55 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: been very concerned for a long time because it's been 56 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: really sticky in situations like naturalization in the process of 57 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: doing it and people being ignorant to how that is 58 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: completed and done. And then just recently again more so 59 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: now to the fact that I've been on message boards 60 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: with adoptees talking about their heritage, talking about be careful 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: of what you put up on social media. And of 62 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: course this is just to everyone, but specifically to adoptees 63 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: because it could be used against them. So yeah, it's 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: very very personal. So just from the National Immigration Law Center, quote. 65 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: In January twenty twenty five, DHS issued a memo expanding 66 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: the use of expedited removal. Under this policy, the government 67 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: can detain and depoor people without seeing a judge if 68 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: they cannot prove they've lived in the United States for 69 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: at least two years. Undocumented people should carry evidence of 70 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: two years residency if they have it, if they are arrested, 71 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: show it to an officer to prevent deportation without a 72 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: chance to see a judge. There's a lot to be 73 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: alarmed about this, but one thing to remember there have 74 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: been instances that I does not care about your proof 75 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: or if you are found somewhere without your ID, they 76 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,559 Speaker 2: don't wait around. Also, a lot of them go forward 77 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: going after people without warrants or documents and go and 78 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: again nothing as signed by a judge, So they do 79 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: not care. Literally to the point that someone was recently 80 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: detained and there said I am a Green card holder, 81 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: and they said your green card has been revoked. That's 82 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: all they said. They didn't show anything, they didn't prove anything, 83 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: they didn't take them in front of anyone, they didn't 84 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: allow for lawyers, nothing, and that was enough, and they 85 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: got detained and they were lost in the system for 86 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 2: a good long time. Turned out they were in border 87 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: patrol incarceration detainee in Louisiana and a jail in there, 88 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: an institution there, and I think they're still there. There 89 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: are several people who have actually been deported to El Salvador, 90 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: and that's a whole different conversation that we're not having today, 91 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: but it's concerning and we should be talking about in 92 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: current affairs. 93 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 3: And there have been. 94 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: Also those who've been detained again who have just had 95 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: their visas revoked. So, yes, are these people who are 96 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: here quote unquote legally, which you know we hate that 97 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 2: term in general, but as for all purposes whatever, Yes, 98 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: they had their visas, they had their sponsorship, everything was 99 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: legally done, and they were revoked. Many of them were 100 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: detained at their university or on their university campus or 101 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: near their campus, which is a conversation again that we 102 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: need to have as well about the fact that these universities, 103 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: prestigious schools are conceding and bowing down before actual need. 104 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: So that says a lot. 105 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: And the basis is a large conversation about the much 106 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: beloved and hated idea of free speech. Once again, something 107 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: that the right wing community often holler about, I have 108 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: free speech, what's matter with free speech? 109 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 3: But that's only for me if I'm white and Christian conservative. 110 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: But again, so why are they being detained and deported? 111 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: Here's a bit from cbsnews dot Com with an article 112 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: published on March thirty. First Quote Secretary of State Mark 113 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: Rubio cited a provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act 114 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: that authorizes the nation's top diplomat to revoke the visas 115 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: of foreign national students on the ground that their presence 116 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: or activities have quote potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences 117 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 2: for the US. The federal government is not required to 118 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: lay out proof beyond that explanation, legal experts told CBS News, 119 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: setting up a legal showdown over foreign nationals free speech 120 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: rights in the US. Quote, there's a tension between everyone's 121 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: First Amendment rights to free speech and the immigration statutes 122 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: broad provisions giving the Secretary of State broad latitude to 123 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: declare someone deportable simply because he thinks that the student 124 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: may have potential serious adverse foreign policies consequences, and the 125 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: courts will have to figure out where the appropriate line 126 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: should be drawn, says Steven Yelle Lare, a retired immigration 127 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: law professor of Cornell University. Rubio said Thursday the State 128 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: Department has canceled more than three hundred visas and that 129 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: there are primarily student visas. Several high profile cases are 130 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: related to students who led or participated in pro Palestinian 131 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: activities and disruptive protests, which the administration has equated to 132 00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: activity supporting hamas a US designated terrorist group. So one 133 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: of the protests, I'm talking about our citizens. They had 134 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: several cit ins and walkouts of classes, very very very violent. 135 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: Sorry haasm. 136 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: Also as a reminder, one of the people who were deported, 137 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: Mohammad Khalil, was a student at Columbia University and a 138 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: Green card holder, which is a legal permanent resident, so 139 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: permanent is currently again detained. Some more from the CBS 140 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: News article, they write Khalil was born in Palestine refugee 141 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: camp in Syria, has a green card or legal permanent residency, 142 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: and his wife is an American citizen. Immigration authorities initially 143 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: told Khalil that they were acting on a Security Department 144 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: order to revoke his student visa, but when they were 145 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: informed that he had a green card, the agent said 146 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: they were revoking that, and that's just according to his attorney. 147 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: The article continues. Green cards, however, cannot be rescinded as 148 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 2: simply as visas. The government suggests in a court filing 149 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: earlier this week that it could move to revoke his 150 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: status for allegedly omitting information on his immigration forms, including 151 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: his involvement with the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees 152 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: known as UNRWA in a group known as Columbia University 153 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: Apartheid Divests. But at the core of the US government's 154 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 2: detention and aim deportation of Khalil is a rarely used 155 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: section of the Immigration and Nationality Act that subjects non 156 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 2: citizens to possible deportations if their presence and activities are 157 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: deemed threatening to the foreign policy interests of the US. 158 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: So a lot of this is just on the fly, 159 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: And this is one of the conversations again that I 160 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: was really really concerned by, because naturalization is also under 161 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: that same conversation that if they see you as a 162 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: terrorist group, if they name you as someone who is 163 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: plotting against the government, and that could be as easily 164 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 2: stated as you were in a protest that they did 165 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: not like. So a lot of this is just like 166 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: what is going on. And by the way, the same 167 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 2: law has been used to detain Georgetown University researcher I'm 168 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 2: so sorry I forgot the name on Badar Khan, as 169 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: well as another Columbia University student and legal permanent resident, 170 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: Yun Soo Chung, who is a Korean American Green cardholder. 171 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 2: So there's so many more who are being detained. There's 172 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: a huge list. And obviously, as we said, three hundred 173 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: visas were revoked. The amount of people who are being 174 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: detained that are American citizens are actually really concerning. They 175 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: don't have a number because they don't have to. They 176 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: don't even have to tell a judge as in fact, 177 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 2: so again they are deported, detained under the guise of 178 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 2: terrorism or a threat to foreign policy and coming back 179 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: into the country from even visiting or even visiting the 180 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: country has put many people under suspicion, with widespread conversations 181 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 2: about how to lock down your phones, as the government 182 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: has the right to search your phones upon entry, re 183 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: entry of the country, entry or re entry the way, 184 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: many have been pulled aside for lengthy questioning. Many who 185 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: have stated they were profiled by TSA yes, chunk of 186 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,599 Speaker 2: them are people of color, and many other nations have 187 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 2: advised their people not to travel to the US and 188 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: or a given travel advisory from an article from conte 189 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: Nast Travel, which I thought was interesting they wrote following 190 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: these incidents, Canada and several European countries have issued travel 191 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: advisories for the US. While most of the government warnings 192 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: don't specify why they were added, the timing points to 193 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 2: the Trump administration's executive orders regarding immigration and tightening of 194 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: border policies. 195 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: I also want to put right here. 196 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: When I was trying to look up these conversations of 197 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 2: these articles, the initial when I would just put like 198 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: names popped up the state government guidelines. So I found 199 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: that very suspicious because usually you'll get hot topic stuff 200 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: at the top of searches, all of a sudden, they're 201 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: not there. I had to be very specific in finding 202 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: these articles alarming. We already know where Google is on 203 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: the side of this administration. They have been the knee 204 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: We've had this conversation, so it's showing just an FYI. 205 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: So with that and some of the warnings that we 206 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 2: were talking about are due to the recent anti trans policies, 207 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 2: but put in place by the administration. 208 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 3: Quote. 209 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: The heightened advisories come after citizens from European countries have 210 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: been detained and deported by immigration officials while traveling to 211 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: the United States. Some of the warnings also know that 212 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: the State Department has also suspended its policy allowing transgender 213 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: intersects and non binary people to update the sex field 214 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: on their passwords, eliminating the X marker as an option. So, yes, 215 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: this is a huge conversation. We know that several Canadians 216 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 2: have been detained. We know that several people from Germany 217 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: have been detained. So yeah, this is a huge, huge, 218 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: very worrisome conversation. My family wants to travel outside of 219 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: the US, and I am very much backing out in 220 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 2: concerns to this. And here's this level of like, not 221 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: because I did anything wrong, but because of my stance 222 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 2: and beliefs that I am scared that they are going 223 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: to use this podcast against me, my job against me. 224 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 2: You know, things that I have said in light of 225 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: wanting to see better humanity in conversations where I ask 226 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: why police have been shooting innocent black people, or why 227 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: millions of civilians are dying in this supposed terrorist war 228 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: on hamas when it's seemingly not that way. How humanitarian 229 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: aid trucks are being bombed and being deterred from entering 230 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: places to help civilians. Once again, like, there's so many conversations, 231 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 2: and I'm not ashamed of these point of views, but 232 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: I am concerned that where the US is turning, and 233 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: knowing that I am a naturalized citizen, that fact I 234 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: was brought here. 235 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: By white people, very conservative white people who voted for 236 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: this fool dude person dot dot dot. So there's a 237 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 3: lot to be talking about. I know we're gonna have 238 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 3: any more. 239 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: There are challenges happening, but the concern to that also 240 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: is the fact that they the administration does not care. Yeah, 241 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: and then this bigger conversation about the fact because the 242 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: administration are mad at the judges for not upholding his 243 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 2: or even questioning their authority, they are talking about changing 244 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: the judicial system, which the Supreme Court has allowed, and 245 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: now some of the people of Supreme. 246 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: Court are like, ooh, you can't do what. Yeah, it's 247 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: a lot of concern. 248 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: I will update you when I'm back about how the 249 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: travel goes. I again, I hope that I'm just I'm 250 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: not being paranoid. But I hope that I'm just being 251 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: a little bit overleagle, little too concerned, and that it'll 252 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: be fine. But as I said, driving through some of 253 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: these red states that have sundowntown still again, Georgia does too. 254 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: Georgia does too, which is also why I don't like 255 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: to travel outs out of Atlanta too often. In going 256 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: to Louisiana, which is a red state, but Louisiana has 257 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: some amazing things happened this week last week when they 258 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: fought against some amendments, very conservative amendments. Go ahead, Louisiana, 259 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: proud of you, but going into an area and hoping 260 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: for my safety and other people's safety in general, and 261 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: how to support businesses that are being affected. 262 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 3: By the administration. Again, I also had Annie. 263 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: I had already told Annie that I had all these 264 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: subjects that I was thinking about talking about. And another 265 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: one was how do you travel to red states like ours, 266 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: but do it in a conscious moral way without supporting 267 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: the policies and the things of the government of that 268 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: state seems to be doing. That's another conversation as well. 269 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: That's a big one. Yeah, this is why these Monday 270 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: minis get away from most frequently it's difficult. 271 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: So many things. 272 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, there are well.
