WEBVTT - Executive Disorder: White House Weekly #11 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:02.880 Cool media. 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:11.000 This is it could happen here. Executive Disorder, our weekly 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.000 newscast covering what's happening in the White House, the crumbling world, 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.320 and what it means for you. I'm Garrison Davis today. 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.920 I'm joined by Mia Wong, James Stout, and Robert Evans. 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:23.159 This week we're covering the week of April third to 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:27.760 April ninth. We have we have recovered from the Liberation day, 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.800 fully liberated. Yeah, and now the economy is back to normal. 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:39.560 Right, Yes, everything's really good. Everyone's four oh one k's 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.720 have been normal and stable and stable and stable. That's 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:48.000 what's important. Just line go up. The economy runs from stability. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.600 I mean one of the things the line did was 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:55.639 go up. So yeah, lines, God, why should anyone complain? Yeah? 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.200 Yeah, line's gone in a few different directions this week. 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.000 Among the different directions the line went up, was you 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.440 know a portion of that time? 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.000 Yes, yeah, durrection that hasn't gone is left. I guess 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.160 which you know we're waiting for that one. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.440 And related news, A dead cat can bounce. I don't 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.040 know why they picked the cat for the dead animal 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.360 to bounce to refer to that stock market term, but. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.920 I think this is a term that's new to Garrison, 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.880 just judging by the facial expression. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:26.119 Yeah, you don't know what that is. So basically, when 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.520 when a stock price for a company or whatever collapses 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.759 right there will generally be it will straight a line 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.920 down and then it will bump back up and it 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.720 will look like it's rallying. But this isn't generally a rally. 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.880 What it is is that when people like short a stock, 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.360 there's a point at which they have to like buy 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:49.520 back the share like shares, and that artificially inflates it 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.040 briefly before it then begins to decline again. So it's 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.720 not a real it's the result of how short selling 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.280 works that there has to be this thing that makes 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.000 it temporarily look like it's rallying, but that's really not 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:01.480 what's happening. 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with this concept. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.160 And they call it a dead cat. It's referred to 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:07.040 as a dead cat bounce. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:07.200 Yere. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.440 I don't know why it's referred to as a dead 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:10.480 cat bounce, but it is. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.160 Stockbro because are not normal people then why these these 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.679 are Wall Street guys. One of them has probably done 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.079 it like that's that's probably why it's called that, Like. 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.200 Yeah, I've thrown a lot of corpses at a lot 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.800 of things and they don't really bounce. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.960 Speaking of corpses, Robert, you have some exciting news on 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:29.880 the army. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.399 To pronounce Col Garrison. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.120 Yes, Yes. The good news is the army is going 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:40.000 to be more lethal and efficient than ever before, which 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.520 President Trump announced while sitting in the White House next 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.680 to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin net and Yahoo, who had 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.800 to take roughly at twice the length of trip he 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.920 normally has to take to go here because so many 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.400 countries that he would normally fly over or stop in 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.160 have arrest warrants out for him. For all of the 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.640 war cries. Oh, we love to see it, but you know, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.720 it's not about the journey. It's about you know, the 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.440 people you journey too. And Netanyahoo met with Trump, you know, 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.240 someone whom he clearly feels very safe, and you know, 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.240 I dare I say loving with and the two of 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.640 them shared the most intimate bond that two elderly men 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.520 who have committed war crimes can share, which is announcing 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.160 a record budget for the United States military of one 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.880 trillion dollars. Well, I should say, Trump stated it would 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.519 be in the vicinity of one trillion dollars. Now does 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.160 that mean possibly that very little is changing about the 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.120 military budget. Yes, it does, and we'll get to that 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.280 in a second. Hag Seth, our Secretary of Defense, made 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.280 a post on Twitter right after saying Trump is rebuilding 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.960 our military and fast. He also really bragged about that 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.960 trillion dollar amount and said, ps, we intend to spend 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.080 every tax payer dollar wisely on lethality and readiness. Now 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.280 here's the thing. Trillion dollars shitload of money. Current amount 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.680 of funding allocated to national defense programs eight hundred and 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.880 ninety two billion dollars, so trillion dollars about a ten 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:09.520 percent bump right for you know, the national defense programs. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.960 But it's actually unclear the way in which he phrased 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.000 things and the way in which we like talk about 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:19.080 the funding for national security, this could mean that basically 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.080 the military will have pretty much the same, you know, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.480 something of an increase but not a mass, not really 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.760 a significant difference from what it has now, and there 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.680 will be more money into other defense related programs. So 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.800 this is not like as massive a thing as it 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.680 might necessarily sound like. I think one thing that's sort 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.839 of significant here is like how this comports with the 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.400 way a lot of the folks and what we'll call 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.480 the shit had left had talked about where there was 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.599 this discussion that Trump's actually going to be you know, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.120 bad for imperialism and the war machine. And you know, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.800 there was even talk as of a couple of months 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.160 ago that they were going to like half the Pentagon budget, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.839 Like you know, you know, all these whatever else happens, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.440 you know, it's worth it if the military budget comes 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.840 down in this imperial juggernaut of hell gets finally neutered, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.040 and just all of those people are always wrong. They 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.280 were always going to just make the army bigger. They 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.159 were always going to put more money in events. They 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.360 were always going to put more money into the hands 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.560 of defense contractors. Like anyone who knows anything about these 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.680 people or about how Republicans have worked knew that was 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.280 going to happen. There was never any chance that they 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.320 were going to cut the actual amount of money. Now 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.479 they're probably going to cut the number of people in 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.280 the military because despite what heck Seth said, there's a 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.120 lot of evidence that a shitload of this is going 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.400 to go towards modernization, and in fact, armed services each 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.480 branch is being our arm services are all being asked 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.080 to cut about eight percent of their individual budgets in 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:48.159 order to put money into modernization efforts, which obviously any 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:53.000 military needs to regularly modernize different systems. But this is 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.360 also a thing where if your country is run entirely 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.640 by grifters and conman trying to shotgun money to their 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.480 political supporters, have a lot of money in different defense companies. 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.279 What this means to me is you are probably going 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.919 to see them continue to trim numbers of actual troops 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.640 and put more money into bullshit that gets a lot 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.240 of money to contractors. Yeah, that's that is my expectation. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.719 That is what I see happening. More than anything here, 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.880 we'll see. But I think a lot of this additional 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.320 money is going to go towards buying shit that may 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.880 or may not be useful. But the primary purpose of 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.479 putting the money into that shit is because somebody who 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.200 is somebody gets a veig. Yeah. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.920 I mean, if we look at fascism as a concept too, 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.920 it kind of it has this troubled relationship with modernity, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.200 but one of the things it likes to do is 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:43.240 flex it's new little weapon systems and toys, and we're 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.480 going to see some guys posing with some weapon systems 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.159 that probably never get used, right, like probably some AI 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.640 targeting shit stuff like that. 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.480 Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's Rallery does that. 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.240 Yeah, Well, we got to find some way to reallocate 0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:02.080 the alleged fifty billion dollars in DOGE cuts, which is 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.839 certainly a fake number. Absolutely, we might as well send 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.839 over two hundred billion more to the Defense Department. 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.360 Based on early IRS filings, there's something like half a 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:17.440 trillion dollars that we might be losing in tax income 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.000 this year. So you know, net, I don't think we're 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.559 doing great. I should also know to hear a big 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.400 part of the money that they're going to get for 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.360 modernizations coming from cutting fifty to sixty thousand civilian jobs, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.000 many of whom are veterans, but also just in terms 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:38.040 of like military readiness, guys like hag Seth, who's primarily 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.440 a push up dude, and people who don't know anything 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.960 about the military see it as like, well, you know, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.240 the military, you just want as many door kickers as 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.280 you possibly can, and you actually need very few of 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.600 those guys would need a lot of is guys that 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.720 can move things to different places and fix things when 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.720 they break, and do a lot of the paperwork that's 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.320 necessary to make both of those things possible, which is 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.360 why you need those jobs, and cutting a shitload of 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.120 them is not likely to increase readiness. It's also worth 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.480 noting that the US Army is looking at a forced 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.600 reduction of up to ninety thousand active duty soldiers. This 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.640 is based on an article from April fourth, which is 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.160 a significant reduction, and again like, we're not. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:18.679 Is that real? 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:19.240 Yes? 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.280 Why why are they doing a ninety percent reduction? 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.760 In part because it's very hard for them to find 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.120 new active duty soldiers. It is not easy to get 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.880 people to do this, and it is not the priority 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.640 of anybody in charge of anything to actually get more soldiers. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.040 The priority is to put more money into systems AI 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:39.960 and all this shit, Like, I don't think they have 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.720 a vested interest in actually helping with that. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.000 How are we going to take Greenland with drones? What 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:46.560 do we do it? 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.800 Yeah? Probably? I mean there's not a lot of peace. 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.400 Probably, how we're going to do it? 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:51.920 There's not a lot of people in Greenland. 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:57.320 Garrison excited for the naval blockade of Greenland to yeah, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.880 kick off at about two months. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.240 Yeah, it's it's going to be great anyway. They're going 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.000 to make part of why I think they feel confident 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.920 trying to make you know, they're calling this making the 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.160 army smaller and more agile, is because Trump is doing 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.079 his best to make friends with Russia and we're certainly 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.000 not going to whatever happens with Taiwan, the US military 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.040 is not going to be involved. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:21.000 Yeah. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.760 Yeah, we ain't going to go back for them. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:23.199 You know. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.040 His attitude is like what do we need this for? 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.440 We need an agile military that we can use to 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.720 fuck with Greenland and Panama. Like that's that's what we're 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.439 going to be doing, two very. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.680 Similar biomes where like everything is very similar. 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.400 Yeah, and there's a lot of people like you know, 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.880 the folks running Palenteer who have an increasing amount of 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.560 say in what happens to the military, and you know 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.640 what Trump does, who are basically advocating for, like we're 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.000 going to have this whole kill chain automated soon. We 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.440 barely need people. You can't trust people, you know how 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:56.000 untrustworthy your generals have proved. Donald Cool. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.240 Well, I'm excited for some more Arctic camo surpl us 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.200 to hit the mark at once. Yeah, Greenland situation is resolved. 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.120 I'm excited to be fucking around wondering who a drone's 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.520 going to kill next. That has been a really life 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.680 affirming experience for me, and I'm excited to have it 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:14.240 again soon. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.160 It's going to be great. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.480 Robbie, you mentioned the IRS and irs maybe maybe get 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.320 less money, So I got to talk a little bit 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.640 about the IRS. I guess let's let's start with like 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.719 a little summary of this week immigration news. This week 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.440 child Rachik, who is the person who runs libs of 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.240 TikTok yeah, joined Ice on a raid. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:38.600 She is, shall we say, the Julius Striker of our 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:39.400 modern fashions. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:44.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.440 Damn sorry, I'm just no. I mean, like, I wasn't 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.240 joking about that. That's the most direct comparison that. Yeah. 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.240 Sorry, I just took a moment to reflect on that, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.200 and it's not a great thing to reflect on. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.040 It's really not. Now. It doesn't make me feel good, yeah, No. 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.319 Other things that make me feel good are the sixteen 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.120 Minutes report, seventy five percent of people since Siko had 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.160 no criminal conviction, which seems to leave open the possibility 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.000 of there being a crime for which it would be 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.440 okay to be sent to a foreign goo lag with 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.880 no hope of return, which I don't believe is the case. Like, yeah, 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.880 I'm very disappointed at any reporting which focuses on guilt, 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.160 as if one could ever be guilty of anything which 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.920 would make this justifiable, you can't. The government is also 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.680 soliciting for proposals this week to massively increase migrant detention, 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.120 which again is not surprising, right, we talked about this 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.240 last November, but it's also not great. But where I 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.199 want to focus today is on the IRS and the 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.080 Abdegogatia case we spoke about last week. So well, it's 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.880 see inter reporting that the IRS has said it will 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.319 hand over information of people who are subject to criminal 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:49.000 investigation to DHS or ICE right, ICE being under DHS. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.240 They so they say they. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.160 What happened here is that part of court filings and 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.160 memorandum of understanding between ICE and the IRS was released 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.839 in the MoU or in the court finding. Actually they 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.840 cite an offense of failure to depart the United States 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.040 after being ordered removed. So Essentially anyone who they're saying 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.080 like you have to go right, you know that they 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.240 could They could then ask for their tax return information. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.600 Exactly what the IRS will disclose to ICE is covered 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.600 by a big black reaction in the court documents, so 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.560 we don't know that the entire emmaus submitted, but like 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.840 there's significant reactions in it, ICE has to hand One 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.600 thing that's not redacted is that ICE has to hand 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.320 over the person's name, address, and the crime of which 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.160 they're for which they're investigating, and it has to be 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:38.240 a non tax crime. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.400 Not that that matter is Huguely. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.640 This is more limited than a lot of people have feared, 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.240 and it's more limited than a lot of the reporting 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.840 I've seen. It's possible that there's something else going on. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.640 I saw the acting director in ICE was going to 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.560 quit over this. I saw that this morning. But the 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.400 fact that they have to have their address suggests that 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.280 they couldn't locate them using the tax return form right, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.800 which which is a good thing. It is one last 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.240 step towards fascuistrom. I guess I'm also aware of ICE 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.800 having memorandums of understanding with other agencies, to include HUD right, 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.760 housing and urban development. All of this is going to 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:16.400 reduce the amount that migrant communities engage with the federal 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.199 government to any degree. Right, Contrary to what you might 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.240 have heard undocumated to people do to pay their taxes, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.360 it's actually relatively rare for them not to do that. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.920 And this might change if the RS starts handing over 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:32.120 people's tax returned information to ICE right. Obviously, if HUD 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.800 starts handing over people's information, that's going to lead to 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.920 people not being as willing to take housing benefits, more 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.320 people landing up living on the street. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:38.559 Right. 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.480 On the other hand, Houston City in Texas, for that, 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.400 you who an't familiar, have I Have I pronounced that right? 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.880 Robert Tehause, Yeah, I thought it was. I wasn't sure 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:48.800 of it. It was Houston. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.200 Houston, Oh house. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.760 Soon understood. It's a it's a place we just don't go. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.160 That's that's that's how I refer to Houston. Okay, beautiful. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.920 So this Texas No Man's landtown has turned over information 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.960 including addresses and license paids for people charged with driving 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.800 without a license, even though some of this under Texas 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.839 law is supposed to remain confidential. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:09.960 So that's great. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:15.079 They are also now making immigration detentions at regular traffic stops. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.600 Some aware of one incident where a man was arrested 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.480 after being stopped for a cracked windscreen and he's now 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.640 an ICE detention, so that there was I presumably an 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.960 ICE warrant for this person that the Houston police then 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:26.680 acted upon. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.440 I mean, and this is this can just be racial profiling, right, 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.840 Like if they're going to pull someone over and then 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.160 send them to ICE, like they're just going to start 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.600 pulling over as many people that they don't want to 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:38.400 be in Houston. 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.640 Yeah, Like we already know that police departments have a 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.440 tendency to pull over people who aren't white more often, right, 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.120 and then like if you give them this, that's just 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.120 going to exacerbate that further. Again, it's also going to 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.600 stop migrant communities interacting with the police in any way. 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:53.880 Right. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.360 This obviously has look not a big police fan, but 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.000 like in cases like domestic file, right, sometimes people need 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:03.560 to go to the police to be safe, and they're 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.280 not going to do so they think that means they 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.440 or people they love will be deported and this will 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.320 have negative consequences, and specifically in cases like domestic violence, 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.359 and we know this. There is plenty of evidence for this. Nonetheless, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.440 this is continuing anyway. What's also continuing is our obligation 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:20.840 to pivot to act, which we should do. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:33.800 Now, Okay, we are back. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.680 We're back, and it's time to talk about the Supreme Court. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:38.840 Do we have to? 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.760 Yes, yes, we do, Garython, because it's the biggest court. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.200 It's the big one, and they've been crushing it all week, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.920 just just sending down decisions. The two big ones, I 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.320 guess I want to talk about are a five to 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:58.200 four ruling that it was vacating Boseberg's trro Bosberg being 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.080 the judge who had intally told the United States government 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.240 that had to stop sending people to set court right. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.880 And then the US had ignored Boseberg and done it anyway, 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.600 and then they had this whole court case about how 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:09.960 they hadn't ignored him in any way. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:10.640 It was a secret. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.840 Even though we're tweeting it, you can go back a 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.880 couple of eds and hear about that. In this decision, 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.960 the Court was unanimous in asserting that people removed under 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.720 the Alien Enemies Act do have a right to due process, 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.320 but that they have to bring a habeas petition. So 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.320 like the reason they vacated to tro was that the 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.640 case shouldn't have gone to Bosburg, right, that they should 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.640 have bought this Havieu's petition. In practice, that's going to 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.160 be very hard given the fact that many migrants, even 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.720 under the current system, even and the Biden, most migrants 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.960 wh didn't speak English didn't have access to legal representation. 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:47.000 So this ruling is still pretty bad. The only thing 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.000 that people in the court case wanted to stop was 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.080 their rendition to L salbadare right. It wasn't even like 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.760 opposed to other forms of removal, it was specific to 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:59.720 this El Salbador situation. The court also sort of cited 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.680 k crime all cases as precedent, which is a very different thing. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.960 And it gives us very narrow ruling of the due 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.840 process available to migrants rate and it relies on my 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.200 having access to a legal team, which could be expensive 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:12.880 and complicated for them. 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:17.840 So this ruling allows Trump administration to send people to 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.560 El Salvador as as long as they have the quote 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.880 unquote right to do process, which is narrowly defined as 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.360 something that not many people will have access to anyway. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.320 Yes, yeah, well, summarized. Yeah, you would need to have 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.439 like a lawyer on retainer to file your habeas right 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:37.200 leg straight away. 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.960 So if that just doesn't get filed, then you are 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.919 basically in their view forfeiting your due process and they 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.000 can deport you anywhere. 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.000 Well, they can deport you anyway. Yeah, I guess you 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.240 have the right to appeal it, like by saying like 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:55.080 I'm going to file this habeas petition, but most people 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.600 an't going to do that, so in practice that they 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.120 haven't explicitly ruled on this setcot thing. Right, the Aberigo 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.040 Garcia case, which is the other case, a Fourth Circuit 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.399 judge required the US to return Abergogarcia to the US, 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.560 and then Chief Justice Roberts on his own issued in 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:15.240 an administrative stay, so he is effectively telling them that 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.720 Fourth Circuit judge, you can't order them to have him 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.000 return right now. We need to take a time out. 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.560 We need everybody to get their evidence in order and 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:30.320 then bring that to us. So that case like remains ongoing. 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.160 Right in the brief for that case, the government referred 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.920 to Abligo Garcia as an enemy alien. But I don't 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.960 think MS thirteen is covered by the evocation of the 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.320 Alien Enemies Act. I think it was specific to trend 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.960 deer Ragua. And then they also claim that they removed 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.600 him under the Immigration Nationality Act, not the Alien Enemies Act. 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.320 So like, none of this, I guess is hugely surprising. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:56.720 We're seeing this like sort of post hoc justification of 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.160 what they did, right, which is kind of how they operate. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.919 Case still remains ongoing, so we're still we're still going 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.400 to hear that one, which presumably will reflect on the 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.240 constitutionality of sending people to said cord. But like the 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.679 fact that, yeah, they ruled the other case right, the 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.000 one that was five to four. It wasn't about whether 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.280 seid Cock was legal. It was about where the Bosberg 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:22.040 had the right to make a decision on this particular case. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.919 But it's still not great. Like it looks like the 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.520 Supreme Court is doing everything it can to avoid a 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.480 face to face showdown with the executive branch because they 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.959 don't want to deal with the consequences of be ignoring them. Nope, 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.720 and like we said before, like maybe the only court 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.320 that they will listen to is a Supreme Court. Whether 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.119 the Supreme Court doesn't make them, then they won't. So 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.200 that's where we're at with that. Not great, not exactly 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.320 great at all. Well, do you know what is doing great? 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.000 The economy? And for more on that, I think it's 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.320 time for Tariff Talk with mia Wan. 0:19:53.560 --> 0:20:04.680 Wait wait wait, Tariff Talk. Jazz Rocky Jazz, bart Lack 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.199
