First, Joe Biden has prostate cancer. There's 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 2: anti natalist terrorism, and the DHS is maybe gonna do 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: a reality TV show. Probably not, but it's a bad plan. 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 2: How are we doing this week? 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 3: That's a trifector from hell. 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so bad. 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 5: This one's so bad. It's really I have to do 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 5: the laughing like right here, because good Lord, like, oh 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 5: many many of these weeks are bad. This one's particularly bad. 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: I don't know, DHS reality show. 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: We'll get to that at the at the ending segment. Sure, Hey, 18 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: this is Gear from the Future cutting in. We recorded 19 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: this a few hours before some pretty major news, the 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: shooting of two Israeli embassy staff in DC. We will 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 2: be talking about this in next week's Executive Disorder, as 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: well as the new budget bill, which targets trends healthcare. 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: Now back to the episode, I think let's start with, 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: you know, a brief acknowledgment of Joe Biden's prostate cancer. 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: What was Jill doing to him? Oh my god, Garrison. 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 4: You could have said that at the bottom, man, you didn't. 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: I'm allowed to say that because I'm the most gay, 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: guye coded person on the podcast, which is saying something 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: so so yes then and now, because we live in 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: a truly sick world. Scott Adams couldn't even let. 31 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 3: He couldn't let him have his moment. 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: He couldn't even let Joe Biden have his moment. This 33 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: anti Biden hatred has transcended so far that's got Adams 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: couldn't even let Biden have this moment and announced the 35 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: same day that Scott Adams has the exact same type 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: of prostate cancer. So two down, Biden down, Dilbert down. 37 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: Big week for prostate cancer. 38 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 3: And boy, how do you have people been weird about 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 3: it on the internet. 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 41 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into how long he maybe 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: has known he's had it. He's he's had skin cancer 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: removed before. I think that ship has mostly sailed. I 44 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: think our opinions on Biden are pretty are pretty well, 45 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: pretty well documented. Yeah, so I don't think we can 46 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: dedicate much more much more time to this. 47 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 5: Okay. The one important note that I will say is, 48 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 5: if you have a prostate get checked for prostate cancer. Yeah, like, yeah, 49 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 5: get the screening. It's good, it'll help. 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 4: You, unless you are over seventy five, in which case 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: I think most people don't get screened for it, right 52 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 4: because it's slow. 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: Gross. 54 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Biden's over seventy five. 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why somewhat I thought it was somewhat remarkable 56 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: part of the issue there. 57 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, all I can say is about once a 58 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: month I think about how at the DNC those thank 59 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: you Joe Chance lasted four seconds. 60 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: I have actually been thinking about the thank you Joe 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: Chance for a lot of this time yes week. Frankly, 62 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: you had to be there. Yeah, it's one of the 63 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: most it's one of the most horrifying, horrifying things. As 64 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: they let this like very clearly dying old man out 65 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: to pasture because like you know, kinds are diagnosis aside, 66 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: very clear he was in some some degree of decline. 67 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 4: We don't need to retread this. 68 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: This is this is pretty well known, but no, I 69 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: have been thinking about how that whole auditorium broke out 70 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: and chanting thank you Joe for like nearly five minutes. 71 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: And then the following the rest of the week not 72 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: a single mention it was done that day. 73 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: It was wild anyways, So yeah, ri Ip Dilbert, I 74 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: guess let's move on to anti natalist terrorism. So I've 75 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: learned this week that people don't know what anti natalism is, which, 76 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: as someone who grew up in Portland, is kind of 77 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: surprising to me because there was some very very prominent, 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: like anti naedalist protesters who were set up downtown outside 79 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: of Powell's books pretty frequently, and we kind of all 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: grew accustomed to them, and honestly, I'm a little bit 81 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: sympathetic to their arguments. I understand where they're coming from. 82 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: Anti natalism is the belief that procreation is unethical. This 83 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: can be based on the idea that there's been like 84 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: this rapid increase in human population which is on extensive 85 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: damage to the planet, or that's simply being born is 86 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 2: inherently a non consensual act, especially being born into a 87 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: world with high levels of suffering. So these people opt 88 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: to do not have children. As this ethical standpoint, everyone's 89 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: entitled to their own choice. You don't need to agree 90 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: with it, but whatever. Now, interestingly, this past weekend there 91 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: was a quote unquote active terrorism that has been linked 92 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: to anti natalist philosophy. I'm just talking about this as 93 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: it is an instance of kind of the brain ratification 94 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: of this entire society and the reditification of terrorism combined 95 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 2: with this growing sense of like nihilism driving violent extremist actions. 96 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: No one was killed except for the perpetrator alleged for 97 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: perpetrator in this in this incident, but I still think 98 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: this is worth talking about as it can be seen 99 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: as in a sequence of weird terrorism. This is something 100 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: that Robert's canna be working on for a piece later 101 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: later down the line. Right, this is not the first 102 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: car bomb this year. We had the Tesla Tesla cyber 103 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: truck explosion earlier, which was similarly kind of a weird, 104 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: a weird incident. 105 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that one was. 106 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 5: I think that one, I think was the official inauguration 107 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 5: of the years a lead paint which were perpetually living 108 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 5: in now. 109 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I mean the gas leak here if you will, Yeah, 110 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: so yes, on Saturday, maybe seventeenth the car bomb went 111 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: off outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, killing 112 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: the suspect, twenty five year old man named Guy Edwards Barks. 113 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: The FBI is calling this a quoe unquote intentional act 114 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 2: of terrorism. The clinic was closed when the explosion happened. 115 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: The building was severely damaged, but no embryos were harmed. 116 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: Investigators believe that the suspect attempted to live stream the bombing, 117 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: with a website being found online that appeared to be 118 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,119 Speaker 2: in connection to the incident, where the suspect describes himself 119 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: as a quote unquote pro mortalist. 120 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 4: Slightly slightly different, Yeah, correct. 121 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 2: It is more of an affirmative version of anti natalism, 122 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: where you want to actually take concrete steps to like 123 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: decrease the population of the planet, not necessarily in a 124 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: way that's like promoting like the mass killing of individuals. 125 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: He says, quote understand, your death is already guarantee and 126 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 2: you can thank your parents for that. 127 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: One. 128 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: All a pro mortalist is saying is let's make it 129 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 2: happen sooner rather than later to prevent your future suffering 130 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 2: and more importantly, the suffering your existence will cause to 131 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 2: all others sent to you. That's his definition of a promortalist. 132 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: It can be lily to other philosophies that encourage like 133 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: self harm and ending your own life as a conscious choice. 134 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: On its website, he discussed his goal of quote sterilizing 135 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: this planet of the disease of life unquote great and 136 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: declared the need for a quote unquote war against pro lifers. 137 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: His website also highlights other philosophies such as negative utilitarianism, ethlism, 138 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: abolitionist veganism. Quote. Basically, philosophies that have realized religion is 139 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: are worded that there is objective value in the universe 140 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: and it lies in the harm being experienced by sentient beings. 141 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: So although it may seem quote unquote dark, it's the 142 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: polar opposite of nonsense like nihilism. 143 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 4: Unquote. 144 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: Negative utilitarianism is something that comes up a few times 145 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: on his site as well. This is the viewpoint that 146 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: instead of positive utilitarism where we're trying to maximize, you know, 147 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: human pleasure, this is trying to minimize suffering, human suffering 148 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: and like the suffering tied to existence and the like 149 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: aggurate suffering as well as if you if there's more people, 150 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: and there's going to be more suffering. So you should 151 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: both make choices in your own life that that may 152 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: that may limit your suffering, but also make sure that 153 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 2: you don't reproduce, because then even more suffering will happen 154 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: because of your actions through your children. 155 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 5: This is the most barious shit I've ever heard of 156 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 5: my entire goddam very West Coast. 157 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 4: This is yeah, like twenty nine Palms is not It's 158 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 4: not the West Coast. 159 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: Like a lot of this is in conversation with like 160 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: the rationalist subculture rationalist.

His main language is Karene, which 336 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: of course is a language that people speak in Cartule, 337 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 4: the Karen home land, which is part of Miaanmar. On 338 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 4: the nineteenth of this month, that's two days ago, I 339 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 4: sent a notification to his lawyer saying that they'd read 340 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 4: him a notice of removal in English that they were 341 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 4: removing him to South Africa. Ten minutes later, they attempted 342 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 4: to recall this message, and then later that same day 343 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 4: they notified his lawyer that they'd once again read notice 344 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: of removal to him in English, that he was being 345 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 4: removed to South Sudan. South Sudan the world's youngest country, 346 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 4: if we're not familiar, a country that is in which 347 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 4: conflict is escalating as we speak, governments carrying out a 348 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 4: barrel bombing campaign this very week. His councils set up 349 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 4: a video meeting at nine am on the twentieth, but 350 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 4: just before that meeting, his council found out that he 351 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 4: had already been removed. Mister M had refused to sign 352 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 4: the order of removal to South Sudan and we're seeing 353 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 4: right now in a court case. It's a class action. 354 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 4: Mister NM is one of the members of the class. 355 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: Right that there was a preliminary injunction against these people 356 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 4: being removed because they are the same people who the 357 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 4: Trump administration previously tried to remove to Libya, and at 358 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 4: this point they tried to remove them to South Sudane. 359 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 4: Before they are sent to these places, they're supposed to 360 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 4: have a reasonable fear screening right. That is where someone 361 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 4: can articulate if they have a reasonable fear of being 362 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,239 Speaker 4: removed to that country, right like if they will be 363 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 4: persecuted there, they're likely to face torture or violence, or 364 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 4: or be picked on because of who they are. Right 365 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 4: then they're supposed to have a fifteen day opportunity to 366 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 4: submit a motion to reopen if the Department of Home 367 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 4: out Security finds that they don't have reasonable fear. 368 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 2: Right. 369 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 4: So they're supposed to be this process where they can 370 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 4: say I have a reasonable fear of going there, if 371 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 4: I go there or be persecuted, and if the AHPs says, 372 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 4: nobody don't believe you, then they have fifteen days to 373 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 4: submit Okay, more evidence. 374 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: Right are they being allowed to do that or no. 375 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: No, got it. That is what this case hinges on. Right. 376 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 4: So they were informed, possibly hours before they were moved 377 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 4: to South Sudan that they were being moved to South Sudan. 378 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 4: Then they were taken to a secure facility where they 379 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 4: couldn't contact their lawyers. And in at least the case 380 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 4: of mister NM, he had scheduled an appointment with his 381 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 4: lawyer and was deported before he could do so. Right, 382 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 4: And this is seven a few times before as well. Yeah, 383 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 4: that's correct in the past few months, that's right. Yeah, 384 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 4: and specifically, there was a primary injunction against this right. So, 385 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 4: quoting from Judge Murphy, who is judging the Massachusetts District 386 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 4: Court where this is being held, the government's actions are 387 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 4: unquestionably violative of this court order. The government said they 388 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 4: have complied with my order because they didn't hear anyone 389 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 4: yelling at their jailers that they are afraid to go 390 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 4: to South Sudan. This is clearly insufficient. Yeah, So what 391 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 4: he's articulating here is like this chance to articulate reasonable fear. Right. 392 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 4: I do want to point out that in Biden's asylum 393 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 4: ban that he passed in twenty twenty four, they move 394 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 4: from a question of are you afraid to go back 395 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 4: to your home country to what's called a shout test, 396 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 4: where the migrant has to articulate that reasonable fear unprompted 397 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 4: right to have a chance at asylum in the United States. 398 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: So this again, like all these immigration things, I'm not 399 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 4: saying things what the same under Biden by I'm saying 400 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 4: that there is a pathway to how we got here, 401 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 4: and it goes through Biden's executive boarder. 402 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: And like Miller is very willing to use anything in 403 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: his toolbox. 404 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, and anything that look for decades, 405 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 4: castro or liberalism has built a series of tools which 406 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 4: now lie in the hands of a very illiberal government 407 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 4: right and they are being used against people for whom 408 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 4: those who supported castor or liberalism may have some sympathy. 409 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 4: That is how we got here. That's a good way 410 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 4: of putting in. So the situation we are at right 411 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 4: now is that these people were flown seemingly in a 412 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 4: Gulf Stream jet. Gillian Brockell, who's a formula Washington Post 413 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 4: reporter who were going to have on the show next week, 414 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 4: was able to identify this jet based on where it 415 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 4: took off and its call sign it's stopped in Shannon 416 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 4: in Ireland. Notably, Shannon is an Irish civilian airport, right, 417 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 4: it's not a US air Force base. This does raise 418 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 4: some questions within Ireland, within Irish politics about Irish neutrality here. Right. 419 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 4: The jet then flew onto Djibouti, which it is believed 420 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 4: is where the migrants are. Right now, in court the 421 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 4: discussion probably half an hour before we recorded this, DHS 422 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 4: is claiming that they can do their credible fear interviews 423 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 4: there on the tarmac in this plane, which people are 424 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 4: saying is in Jobouty. Right, there's some suspicion that it's 425 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: in Jobouty. DHS is claiming that the location of the 426 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 4: plane is classified, but this widespread belief that this plane 427 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 4: is currently in Djibouoty, including as I say, Julian was 428 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 4: first and hy T published something that didn't credit her. 429 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 4: Should have credited her. So to do the credible fear 430 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 4: into you, right, they have to have a chance to 431 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 4: research what will happen to them in South Shoda, They 432 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 4: have to have access to a lawyer. Most of these 433 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 4: people like mister NM will also have to have a translator. 434 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 4: Right then, they will also have to have privacy, right, 435 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 4: their credible fear may be something they don't want to 436 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 4: share with everyone else on that plane because that could 437 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 4: also put them in danger. 438 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: Yes, also, just like that's a baffling place to suggest 439 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: somebody have that intimate or private of a conversation. It's 440 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: just such a violation of their human rights. 441 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, many human rights being violated here. So yeah, I mean, 442 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 4: the US has a big base in Jibouti, right, so 443 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: I imagine that's why they're there. Remember that they have 444 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 4: that fifteen day period, So if DHS finds that they 445 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 4: don't have credible fear, then they will have fifteen days 446 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 4: right to bring another to reopen that. Where will they 447 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 4: be housed? Somewhere in fucking drabooty presumably if that's where 448 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 4: they are, right. There are many many unanswered questions at 449 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 4: this point. Now, last night we learned that one of 450 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 4: the Burmese people, it appears that there are two Burmese people. 451 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 4: We know this because the Department of Homeland Security today 452 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 4: started tweeting mugshots of these people Jesus yeah and uh wow, yeah, 453 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 4: claiming that they were convicted of various crimes. Among them 454 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 4: were two Burmese men and m appears to be Nio 455 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 4: Miant and the other appears to be Cure Mea. Both 456 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 4: of these men have been accused of various a big convicted, 457 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 4: I believe of sex crimes, and that's where they got 458 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 4: their removal orders. Other people among the dozen or so 459 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 4: people on the plane have been convicted of some of 460 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 4: them like one of them is South Sudanese and he 461 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 4: was convicted of removing the serial number from a firearm 462 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 4: and of armed robbery, others, murder, and and various other 463 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: fairly serious crimes. Right, none of that means that you 464 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 4: should just get dumped in South Sudan, right that it's 465 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 4: not a punishment in US law. It is not a 466 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 4: morally or legally acceptable thing to do. 467 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: It's just truly baffling, honestly. Like that, that's what they're doing. 468 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: That's the move. 469 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, the move is to send themselves Sudan where It's 470 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 4: worth noting that South Sudan's government have said it will 471 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 4: probably send these people back to their home countries. Sure, 472 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 4: evidently the reason they are not being sent there is 473 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 4: because they have articulated a fear of going there, or 474 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 4: they have protection. It's called withholding of removal right, so 475 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 4: they can't be removed to that country and basically that 476 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 4: is where at evidents they manage to remove. Apparently somebody 477 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 4: to Burma today or late last night. I'm still waiting 478 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 4: on my sources in me and mart to confirm that 479 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 4: they the Burmese hunter is as leaky as a sieve. Right, 480 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 4: If those people are land that we will know about 481 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 4: it pretty soon. We have pretty good sources in Burma, 482 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: so if that happens, we will know. They also discussed 483 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 4: another party, right, someone who goes by OCG, a gay 484 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 4: guatemrlon man who asserted credible fear of being returned while 485 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 4: in immigration court. He was deported to Mexico, where he 486 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: also asserted credible fear. Mexico gave him a choice of 487 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 4: remaining Mexico going to Guatemala. He went to Guatemala where 488 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: he is now in hiding. The DHS claimed he said 489 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 4: he didn't have credible fear, and then later reverse that 490 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: and said they didn't ask. So the judge is now 491 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 4: asking how on earth they got this conclusion he didn't 492 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 4: have credible fear and deported him. He's saying he might 493 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 4: potentially put DHS officers on the stand to explain how 494 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 4: this happened. In other immigration news, Ice just today this 495 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 4: is Wednesday has apparently been dismissing court cases against people 496 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 4: who turn up for hearing an immigration court and then 497 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 4: immediately arresting them. What the fuck right there. 498 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 3: In Jesus fucking Cross. 499 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, it's a little unclear what the movie here, 500 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 4: but clearly they're trying to remove them in a more 501 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 4: expeditious way. Right, they have a court case, try to 502 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 4: remove this person, they're saying. 503 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: Because the court case has, like you know, a certain 504 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: amount of time needs to process. If they dismiss the 505 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 2: court case, then. 506 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 4: They may have a right to appeal and yeah, but. 507 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: If it's dismissed, then they can expedite other like non 508 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 2: judicial removal. 509 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, well they can do what they're doing here. Yeah, 510 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: they can try and get and run people out before 511 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 4: they have a chance to get to their lawyer. Right. 512 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: Like that seems to be the underlying team of all 513 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 4: of these things, which is that your due process and 514 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 4: your right under the law are two time consuming, So 515 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 4: we're going to try and make an run around your 516 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 4: rights by sending you to somewhere fucking horrific. That is 517 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 4: the underlying theme here. Unfortunately, this removal will likely now 518 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 4: affect a lot more people because a Trump administration has 519 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: removed the twenty twenty three Temporary Protected Status of Thenezualan People. 520 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 4: We talked about TPSS in my Darian series. The TPS 521 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 4: provides protection from deportation to people who are already present 522 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 4: in the US when it passes. Generally, it's if a 523 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 4: country has experienced war or other like instability that makes 524 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 4: it dangerous. You have to apply for the TPS. They 525 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: don't provide a pathway to permanence or citizenship, but they 526 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 4: do give people work authorization and they often have to 527 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 4: be frequently renewed by the Executive branch. You have to 528 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 4: be in the US the day it's issued, so you 529 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 4: can't enter after. Despite what you might have seen on 530 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 4: Twitter or whatever, that's not the case right. It also 531 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 4: doesn't count as a legal entry, so you can't use 532 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 4: the bridge to a green card. Trump stripped this protection 533 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 4: from about three hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelans under the 534 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three TPS. This does not impact There are 535 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 4: two different tps's for Venezuelan people. They're in a bit 536 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 4: of a unique situation. The quarter of a million people 537 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 4: covered by the twenty twenty one TPS are still for 538 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 4: now covered by that, but it doesn't exactly bode well 539 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 4: for them. Right. This appears to be the largest blanket 540 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 4: removal of legal status from a group of people in 541 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 4: the United States history. And it's a little clear what 542 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 4: this means for the three hundred and fifty thousand Venezuelan 543 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 4: people currently residing in the US under TPS. Right, but 544 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 4: it's another case of like, by their compliance, isolutorly probably 545 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: knows where they live. So these people, it's possible that 546 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 4: we will see deportations of these people back to Venezuela. Again, 547 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 4: the situation in Venezuela is dire. 548 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 3: It's a place where just so many people too. 549 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I think again, if people haven't listened 550 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 4: to my Darien series, I would like that because I've 551 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 4: got a lot of myself into it. But I have 552 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 4: a great affection for Venezuelan migrants. I've spent a lot 553 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 4: of time in Caracas when I was younger, and I've 554 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 4: spent a lot of time with them in the Darien 555 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 4: Gap and then when they arrive in the United States, 556 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 4: and yeah, it's really fucking heartbreaking to hear. Like, when 557 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 4: you think of three hundred and fifty thousand people, understand 558 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 4: that a good number of those people will be little children, right, 559 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 4: people who never had any agency, People whose parents risked 560 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 4: their lives to give their kids a chance at a 561 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 4: better future, and that's been ripped away from them right 562 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 4: now with the consent of the Supreme Court. 563 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 5: Like, if you're removing three hundred, like dred thousand people 564 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 5: from our country, that's just straight up and ethnic cleansing, Like, 565 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 5: that's what that is. 566 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 4: It's about a third of the Venezuelans living in the 567 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 4: United States right now, right, Like, it's it's way more 568 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 4: than decimating. Yeah, obviously we will see what legal recourses 569 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 4: people have. We'll see how this goes down. But obviously 570 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 4: very concerning for these people whose country is falling apart 571 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 4: and being returned there will be terrible for them, right, Like, 572 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 4: not only will they likely have none of their savings, 573 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 4: all of the resources they poured into getting here, but 574 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 4: they're also likely to face political persecution. So yeah, that's 575 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 4: all the exciting and uplifting news I have from the 576 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 4: immigration side of things. He everyone, it's James with a 577 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: pickup today Me and man Now is reporting that the 578 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 4: United States has deported twenty people since April. To Me 579 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 4: and Maar. Most of those people, seven of them have 580 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 4: been released. The remainder of those people are being held 581 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 4: by Burmese military intelligence in a prison that is notorious 582 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 4: for torture, sexual violence, and the general inhumane treatment of 583 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 4: incarcerated people that we've become very familiar with in our 584 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 4: writing about Me andma We don't know who these people 585 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: are yet. Obviously, there's a story that I'm looking into 586 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 4: and I will continue to get back to you on. 587 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 4: But it seems like somehow we have not been aware 588 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 4: of this until now, but dozens of people have been deported. 589 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 4: They're saying that twenty seven people in total are expected 590 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 4: to be deported, and twenty already have. So obviously this 591 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 4: is very disturbing news and something we'll keep reporting on.

That's really hitting his prime 666 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: demographic of suspected serial killers. 667 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 4: I just have to. 668 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 3: Say that had big Florida energy. 669 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 4: For real. 670 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's time to hear the lucid lullaby 671 00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 2: of tariff talk. 672 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 6: The lock locking jazz bo rocket jazz bot Sorry, locket 673 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 6: jazz bob locking jazz Bob. 674 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 5: You know, all right, before everything gets so so like 675 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 5: I do the most depressing segment I've maybe ever done on. 676 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 4: Here, tariffs that can't be true. 677 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 5: No, not the teriff, but the next one I genuinely 678 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,479 Speaker 5: think is the most impressing secon I've ever done on here, 679 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 5: but the tariffs. So our negotiations with China that we're 680 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 5: supposed to like solve all of the tariff problems are 681 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 5: already breaking down. Both sides are like sniping at each other. 682 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 5: This is not gonna work. It structurally cannot work. That 683 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 5: the US's demands the negotiating table, which is again the 684 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 5: political we're economic rationale behind this, is that the US 685 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 5: should not have a trade deficit with China that can't 686 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 5: be solved, and it's already breaking down. The talks are 687 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 5: going almost certainly going to fail, and we're going to 688 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 5: be right back to where we were. It's also worth 689 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 5: talking about a bunch of companies have been doing ice raises, 690 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 5: and I think it's worth going back a little bit 691 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 5: to some of the some of the economic work we've 692 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 5: done in this show with the people as Strange Manners 693 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 5: and talking about in our previous episodes about inflation about 694 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 5: how price works, because this is really really badly understood 695 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 5: by just about everyone, which is that the way that 696 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 5: people think about tend to think about price is as like, okay, 697 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 5: it's supply and demand. There's two axes they meet in 698 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 5: a graph. That's not how price is set. Price is 699 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 5: set by like specific people in supply chains, right, Like, 700 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 5: they're constrained by certain factors. And one of the biggest things, 701 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 5: and one of the things, the biggest things they're constrained about, 702 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 5: is that if you raise prices, people get pissed at you. 703 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 5: But the way that they actually do pricing strategies is 704 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 5: cost plus markup. Right, There's a cost of the physical 705 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 5: good and then they do a markup and the markup 706 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 5: is a profit margin. And the thing about tariffs, right, 707 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 5: is that the way the tariffs affect supply chains is 708 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,720 Speaker 5: that each part of the supply chain now that's moving, 709 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 5: that's importing stuff, right, each part of those things now 710 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 5: has an additional cost that they have to have to 711 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 5: put into their costless markup. 712 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 6: You. 713 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 5: Now, Trump wants all these companies to just fucking eat 714 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 5: shit and eat eat the price of the tariffs. He's 715 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 5: been tweeting about this or posting a I think on 716 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 5: truth social and possibly also on Twitter. 717 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 2: Truth Again, all of his truths have been re reposted 718 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 2: on exos. 719 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 4: Now, yeah, retruthed. 720 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 5: But the thing is right and in theory, right, like 721 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 5: Walmart could just like take this right in theory, like 722 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 5: like you know, like they're really some of the really 723 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 5: really big companies could in theory do this. They won't, 724 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 5: like they a lot of any other. Thing is like 725 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 5: these companies have an incentive not to raise prices because 726 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 5: it pisses consumers off. And also because Trump is just 727 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 5: direct like directly threatening sanctions on companies that raise prices. 728 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 5: Mattel for the people who make Barbie, said that they 729 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 5: were going to raise prices on toys and Trump is 730 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 5: now threatening them with one hundred per sanctions or one 731 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 5: hundred percent. 732 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 4: Tariffs only three dolls. 733 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's you know, the government limited dolls, completely 734 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 5: hindish situation. We've gotten here. We're gonna have doll quotas. Uh. 735 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 5: But you know again again it's it's worth men right 736 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 5: that like in theory, for a little bit of time, 737 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 5: some of these companies can sort of eat this or 738 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 5: they can fuck with their supply chains and the company 739 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 5: has been publicly talking about this. The problem is the suppliers, 740 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 5: because the distributors tend to have pretty high margins, right, 741 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 5: like your Walgreens, like Amazon a sub except like their 742 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 5: margins are okay, and like Amazon makes most of us 743 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 5: money from government computing contracts in any ways, so it's 744 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 5: not as catastrophic. But the suppliers operate on very low margins. 745 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 5: The shipping companies, everything else along the supply chain operates 746 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 5: on really really low margins, right, And those people have 747 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 5: to raise their price because otherwise they are just going 748 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 5: to die. And when they raise their price right in, 749 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 5: that's an increase to the next company's costless markup, which 750 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 5: increases the next company's costless market, which decreases the next companies. 751 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 5: And we're starting to see this ripple to the supply chain. 752 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 5: Things are disappearing from grocery stores. They're going to continue 753 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 5: disappearing from grocery stores. And as as this goes on, 754 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 5: and as presumably the terrifts from China come back into 755 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 5: effect when these negotiations break down and the next round 756 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 5: of tariffs goes into effect, and deliberate day tariff's come 757 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 5: off their ninety day pause and go to effect. This 758 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 5: is all gonna get worse. This this has been tariff 759 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 5: talk lovely. Uh, this unfortunately was the fun part of 760 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 5: the episode. 761 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna get worse Free two one. 762 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 5: Okay, So when I said this might be the bleakest 763 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 5: segment I've ever done on this show, we need to 764 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 5: do an update on Palestine because things have gotten ye. Like, 765 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 5: when when I was kind of opening this episode, I 766 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 5: thought it was gonna mostly be about Trump's plan to 767 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 5: like deport the entire popular, like deport most of the 768 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 5: population of Palestine to Libya. That's not even the immediate crisis. 769 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 5: The immediate crisis is that, and that's this. That's not 770 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 5: even sure what I'm saying the immediate crisis. Last week, 771 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 5: I thought the crisis was going to be the eleven 772 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 5: week blucket of Gaza and the fact that everyone is 773 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 5: about to starve. Yeah, and so the actual specific thing 774 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 5: that we're getting to right now is Israel. It is 775 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 5: attempting to evacuate. That's their wording. What they're actually doing 776 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,919 Speaker 5: is ethnically cleansing basically the entire population of Conunis by 777 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 5: just forcing everyone out of the city. Right. The United 778 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 5: Nations has said that Nearly one hundred thousand Palestinians have 779 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 5: been displaced in Gaza in the last four days as 780 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 5: Israel has been expanding its its ground invasion to the 781 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 5: Gaza strip. This has been combined with the eleven week 782 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 5: long blockade of Gaza. I think by the end of 783 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 5: this week, the week twelve, this has set off an 784 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 5: enormous risk of famine. I'm just going to read this 785 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 5: from Al Jazeira. Quote some seventy days after the Israelian 786 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 5: military halted the entry of food, water, medicine and all 787 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,359 Speaker 5: other life saving supplies into Gaza, the report said. This 788 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 5: is a report from a UN a UN backset of 789 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 5: food security group of analysts. The report said, quote goods 790 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 5: indispensable for people's survivals survival are either depleted or expected 791 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 5: to run out in the coming weeks. Quote. The entire 792 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 5: population is facing high levels of acute food insecurity, with 793 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 5: half a million people one in five facing starvation. 794 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 4: It said. 795 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,040 Speaker 5: Approximately ninety three percent of Gaza's population is experience and 796 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 5: seeing acute food shortages. 797 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 3: It added. 798 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 5: The report also said that like one in five people 799 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 5: could starve between now and November. People have already started 800 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,479 Speaker 5: starving to death. Israel has been blocking aid from getting through. 801 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 5: They symbolically allowed a small number of trucks in, but 802 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 5: a groups on the ground, and I want to emphasize 803 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 5: that this reporting is coming directly from the Times of Israel. 804 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 5: If you want to understand how bad the situation is, 805 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 5: the Times of Israel is reporting that A groups from 806 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 5: the ground say that none of the IEA's gotten through 807 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 5: and none of it has been distributed. This is I 808 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 5: don't know how to convey how bad it is indescribable. 809 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 5: Numbers of people are on the verge of starving to 810 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 5: death in the Israelis are simply not letting any food arrive. 811 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 5: They keep talking about how they're gonna let food arrive 812 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 5: because this is actually this is the first thing I've 813 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 5: seen them do that's actually seriously gotten. I mean not 814 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 5: even seriously, but it's like gotten. A lot of their 815 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,240 Speaker 5: Western allies pissed at them because they're just very obviously 816 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 5: trying to exterminate entire population by starving them the death. 817 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 5: And this has caused the UK, Canada and France to 818 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 5: issue a joint statement coming out against the Israeli policy 819 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 5: and telling them to fucking stop and let food through. 820 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,479 Speaker 5: So these people don't starve. The UK is talking about 821 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,840 Speaker 5: suspending free trade agreements with Israel. They're talking about like 822 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 5: sanctions at West Bank settlers. The whole group has threatened 823 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 5: that they're going to take more actions unless the Israelis 824 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 5: let food in. Now the Israelis, because of the Israelis 825 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 5: shot at a bunch of diplomats who were visiting a 826 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 5: refugee camp in Janine. 827 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 4: This was like a few days ago. 828 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a few days ago. Yeah, yeah, and 829 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 5: so's that's not been like making anyone less angry at them. 830 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 5: It's genuinely remarkable to we've reached a place where like 831 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 5: the UK, Canada, in France, who are all major weapons 832 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 5: suppliers to Israel, are like talking about sanctions, like even 833 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 5: targeted actions, like yeah, you know, and like the UN's 834 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 5: like Human Rights Commission was like, well, this is bullshit. 835 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 5: You can't just targeted sanctions. It is the entire government 836 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 5: doing this. But like, you know, the fact that they're 837 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 5: doing something is an indicator of just how apocalyptically bad 838 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,319 Speaker 5: the situation is right now. Yeah, I want to read 839 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 5: this quote from the Guardian from just perennial most fascist 840 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 5: guy in the Israeli government. 841 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:17,720 Speaker 4: What's he's saying something? 842 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, who's their fucking finance minister who said, quote, now 843 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 5: we conquer, cleanse, and stay until Hamas is destroyed. He 844 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 5: told a news conference along the way, what remains of 845 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 5: the strip is also being wiped out, cleans conquered, the 846 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 5: normal things. To say, the extent to which they are 847 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,760 Speaker 5: simply doing a genocide here has reached a point where 848 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 5: even a bunch of Israel's closest allies are going, what 849 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 5: the fuck? I don't know. I really hope that people 850 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 5: are able to force their governments to actually fucking do 851 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 5: something about this, because if they don't, it's going to 852 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 5: continue to get really bad. Yeah, And I mean I 853 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 5: guess right now that's mostly like if you're in like 854 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 5: the U, Canada or France and you think you can 855 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 5: apply more pressure on your government, like, go for it. 856 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 4: Do do it? 857 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 8: Do that. 858 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,919 Speaker 5: Like, I don't know, I don't know to what extpt 859 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 5: pressure can even be mounted on the Trump administration, but 860 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 5: it's yeah, I think that's pretty much a dead end, 861 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 5: right Yeah. 862 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,439 Speaker 4: But like, but seeing these countries align outside of any 863 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 4: US influence to I potentially recognize the Palestinian state. According 864 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 4: to Lamonde, right, like is significant And yeah, people in 865 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 4: those countries should absolutely like stay in the streets. 866 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, because like like and this is this is the 867 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 5: thing here, right, Like these countries the stuff that there's 868 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,359 Speaker 5: right evening stuff are threatening to do is not enough 869 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 5: to really make a difference here. But like, if they're 870 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 5: willing to do this, they can be pushed further. 871 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, you have to get your foot in 872 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 4: the door. 873 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Carney has also seemed susceptible to this, Yeah, 874 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 2: as there has been a block on arm steels to 875 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 2: Israel for the past few months in Canada. 876 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 4: Yeah. 877 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to close with another story of like 878 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 2: anti humanity, but just a slightly different flavor. And I 879 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 2: know this this does the show does often just end 880 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 2: up feeling like a bad news round up, and that 881 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 2: is because there's a lot of bad news. 882 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 4: I have good news for the end. Actually that's a 883 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 4: good thing. 884 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 2: We'll have some good news, yeah, as a treat And 885 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 2: part of the good news here is that this probably 886 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 2: will not end up happening, but it's still useful insight 887 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 2: into the minds of these ghouls. And I've long advocated 888 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 2: that reality TV is basically inherently satanic. I think it's 889 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 2: a spiritual darkness. 890 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 5: This is offensive to Satanists. 891 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 2: It is a spiritual darkness that has played the United 892 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 2: States for far too long. I think it's ushered in 893 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 2: a degree of evil that is nearly unfathomable. And the 894 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 2: current administration is essentially a reality TV administration on a 895 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 2: very clear and obvious level. 896 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: Yes, but did I enjoy watching the Secret Lives of 897 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: Mormon Wives? 898 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 4: Yes? 899 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 2: I did. I think watching it stuff is actually a 900 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 2: personal moral failure. I think you're channeling darkness into your. 901 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 3: Soul and loving it. 902 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 2: Last week, cutiple outlets reported that the Department of Homeland 903 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 2: Security was considering participating in a reality TV show where 904 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 2: immigrants compete against each other to gain US citizenship. The 905 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 2: proposed series would be called The American. This nightmare has 906 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 2: been dreamed up by Duck Dynasty producer Rob Warsof, and 907 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 2: apparently he's been trying to make this since Obama's second term, 908 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 2: but only now has made progress on getting the necessary 909 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 2: backing from the DHS. After sending Trump's DHS a thirty 910 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 2: five page pitch, Warsof wants it to be quote unquote 911 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 2: the biggest loser for immigration, which, again reality TV is 912 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 2: inherently evil. 913 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 3: That's fucking insane. 914 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 2: It should not be tolerated on any aspect of human society. No, 915 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal header reads, quote, this isn't the 916 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 2: Hunger Games for immigrants, says the producer behind the pitch. 917 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 2: If you have to say this isn't the Hunger Games 918 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 2: for immigrants, that means this is the Hunger Games for immigrants. 919 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 2: Getting a lot of questions about my this isn't the 920 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 2: Hunger Games for Immigrants shirt already answered by the shirt 921 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 2: to quote the Wall Street Journal quote.

He 998 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 4: then had his ear drum perforated and I believe he 999 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 4: was shot in the arm. He was awarded, I think 1000 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 4: he wasn't ordered the Medal of Honor. He was recognized 1001 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,400 Speaker 4: for his bravery. Congress pass and act to make him 1002 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 4: a citizen, and he declined to attend a ceremony because 1003 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,719 Speaker 4: he wanted to get back to the front lines. That rules. Yeah, 1004 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 4: bit of a legend. 1005 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit cooler than the live Grand finale 1006 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,799 Speaker 2: of the American The pitch clarified that the losers would 1007 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 2: not be immediately deported and that the contestants would have 1008 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,400 Speaker 2: a leg up in applying for citizenship the more traditional 1009 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 2: way based on being pre vetted for this show. So 1010 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 2: it's good that it's good that he had to clarify 1011 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 2: that they would not be immediately deported upon getting eliminated. 1012 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 2: That's a good sign. 1013 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, another thing that you should always have to 1014 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 4: carifind a TV page. 1015 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 2: At a Tuesday congressional hearing, Christinom denied having knowledge of 1016 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 2: the reality TV show despite reporting to the contrary, while 1017 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:45,240 Speaker 2: also defining hebeas corpus in this hearing as a quote 1018 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 2: constitutional right that the president has to be able to 1019 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 2: remove people from this country unquote. 1020 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 4: So there you go. Yeah, that's not what that means. 1021 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 2: Christinome is a disaster that it's kind of the opposite 1022 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 2: of what Abey's corpus is. And there is some central 1023 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 2: reporting showing that DHS staff are looking at this pitch. 1024 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 2: It might not go through now based on all this backlash, 1025 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 2: but they were looking through the pitch, including possibly Corey Lewandowski. 1026 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 2: But yeah, that is the reality TV news. James, Do 1027 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 2: you have anything anything to end on here is James? Please? 1028 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know something, something a little bit nice. So 1029 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 4: for those of you who like me, enjoy a strawberry ice. 1030 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:37,280 Speaker 4: Agents arrived at the West Coast Berry Farms facility in Oxnard, California, 1031 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 4: earlier this month, where they were met by a gatekeeper 1032 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 4: who demanded a warrant and refused to let them enter 1033 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,240 Speaker 4: the facility without one, and eventually managed to turn them away. 1034 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 4: So this is a rare dub I guess clearly, as 1035 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 4: we enter the time of year when things need to 1036 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 4: be picked in the fields, this will be a place 1037 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 4: where I sees the opportunity to conduct its enforcement operations, 1038 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 4: and like it is genuinely positive to see that this company, 1039 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 4: I guess, critical support to this company that obviously underpays 1040 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 4: and takes advantage of migrant labor that they have provided them. 1041 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 4: According to an anonymous source in sf Gate with know 1042 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 4: your Rights training, and in this case, the gatekeeper was 1043 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,280 Speaker 4: able to not let the ICE agents enter and eventually 1044 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 4: they left. 1045 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: Like ICE isn't impervious. Like all week, ICE has been 1046 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 2: releasing statements complaining about being compared to to the to 1047 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 2: the Gestapo. 1048 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 4: Well once again, right, like another thing that you shouldn't 1049 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 4: have to be releasing statements about. 1050 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 2: I am not the Gestapo. Shirt has people asking a 1051 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,320 Speaker 2: lot of questions. Yeah, and they're also publishing false stats 1052 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,800 Speaker 2: about ICE officers being assaulted in the line of duty. 1053 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,879 Speaker 2: So like obviously they're facing some kind of like fear 1054 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 2: even among their own agents. That's why they're all like 1055 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,800 Speaker 2: covered up wherever they go. They're trying to prosecute people 1056 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 2: for posting information and on ICE agents in your area. 1057 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but like I say, they're not impervious. There 1058 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 4: is a difference between a judicial warrant and a warrant 1059 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 4: that ICE has essentially made itself, right, the latter not 1060 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 4: being signed by a judge. And it appears that the 1061 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 4: gatekeeper was aware of that. We still have courts, You still, 1062 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 4: in theory have rights, and you know, well it depends, 1063 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 4: but yes, yeah, yeah, theoretically that was a pivotal word. 1064 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, shout out to the gatekeepers at the Oxnard 1065 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:29,760 Speaker 4: Strawberry Plant. 1066 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 5: And they could be stopped by a door keeper. Like, 1067 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 5: they can be resisted, they can be stopped from doing things. 1068 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, and like it is genuinely important that this person 1069 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,320 Speaker 4: understood the difference between a judicial warrant and these documents 1070 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 4: that ICE might produce. And it does illustrate the value 1071 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 4: of being educated and educating people in your communities about 1072 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 4: these things if they might be at risk for this. 1073 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 4: All right, we reported the news. 1074 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 3: Why howdy did we? 1075 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,000 Speaker 7: We reported the news. 1076 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 8: It could happen Here is a production of cool Zone Media. 1077 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 8: For more podcasts from cool Zone Media, visit our website 1078 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,839 Speaker 8: folzonmedia dot com, or check us out on the iHeartRadio app, 1079 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 8: Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
