WEBVTT - Executive Disorder: White House Weekly #12 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:02.880 Cool media. 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.399 This is it could happen here. Executive Disorder, our weekly 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.720 newscast covering what's happening in the White House, the crumbling world, 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.479 and what it means for you. I'm Garrison Davis today. 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:22.279 I'm joined by doctor James's Stout and Reverend doctor the 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:23.840 Honorable Robert Evans. 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.960 That's right. Hmm, that's right, Reverend doctor the honorable Evans, 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.240 who is currently hacking up a fucking lung. Uh, no idea, 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:33.960 Why I feel otherwise fine? 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.479 Well, I'm sure you feel otherwise fine due to this 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.680 great week in American history we've all been through together, yeah, 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:46.280 which started with a meeting between President Donald Trump and 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:51.519 El Salvador President Bukelea on Monday morning in the Oval Office, 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.840 where they discussed the possibility of the United States helping 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.400 to build more Seacott style facilities to disappear US citizens 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:04.039 and immigrant that the Trump administration deems criminals or terrorists. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.319 Yes, I mean, I keep getting asked, is this the 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.240 panic moment? And I don't think panic is particularly productive, 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.200 but like, yeah, this is the worst case scenario. The 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.959 worst case scenario is happening. The President's talking about sending 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:21.120 citizens overseas, to a concentration camp. Honestly, I'm on the 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.440 verge of thinking it's okay to call it a death camp, 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.520 but we just don't have the data yet. There's some 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.240 very concerning satellite shots that appear to show piles of bodies. 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.240 Yeah, that's from March of twenty twenty four. 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.520 Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, but it won't have gotten. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.720 Better no, no, yeah, yeah. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.880 So I don't know. This is about as bad as 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.160 it could be, folks, We're in it. 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.160 During that meeting, both President Bukeley and and the Trump 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.880 cabinet argue that there is simply no way for people 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.200 sent to see God to ever return to the United States, 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.920 coming up with a whole bunch of absurd, obsurd reasons 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.520 for why that is that is impossible due to due 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.200 to foremol and safety of both Al Salvador and the 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.960 United States. Me and James did a whole episode on 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.160 this earlier this week that you can check out on 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.960 the It could Happen here feed. I'm gonna move on 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.720 to an update on the student crackdowns. So ICE has 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.080 targeted a third Green card holder for deportation based on 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:27.720 pro Palestinian activism. Mohsen Matuwi is a Palestinian from the 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.760 West Bank who has lived in the US with a 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:34.119 green card for a decade while studying philosophy at Columbia. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.480 He co founded the Columbia Palestinian Student Union in twenty 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.560 twenty three with Mahmoud Khalil. Maduwi was arrested by Ice 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:46.840 last Monday, April fourteenth at his citizenship interview in Vermont. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.440 Now after Khalil was arrested last month, Madowi went into 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.440 hiding and he suspected that this citizenship interview could be 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.440 a honeypot, but decided to go anyway after waiting a 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.400 long time for this point meant, his lawyers quickly filed 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.480 a habeas corpus petition arguing his detentions unlawful and Violet's 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.880 First Amendment. A US district judge issued an order hours 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.200 later that he was quote not to be removed from 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.200 the United States or moved out of the territory of 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.720 the District of Vermont, pending for their order of this court. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.880 Zionistocksing accounts targeted Marwi in recent weeks. I'm going to 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.560 play actually this two minute clip of Marwi talking. This 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.519 is from December of twenty twenty three on the program 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:34.480 sixty minutes. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.400 What was your initial reaction when you heard about the 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.280 Hamas attack on October seventh. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:46.040 I could not believe what my eyes were seeing, where 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:52.000 I see Hamas members getting into settlements and so on. 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.600 But also the first moment I saw that, I put 0:03:55.680 --> 0:04:02.920 my hand on my heart and I started praying, knowing 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.360 that there will be a huge level of revenge from 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:11.080 the Israelis, and I was praying that this will not 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.080 be the result, because it would be disastrous. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.560 The night of the rally, I believe someone in the 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:25.040 crowd said something very anti Jewish, not to say anti Israeli, 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.039 but anti Jewish. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:33.240 Yes, this was as a walk out on November ninth, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.520 and a person who is not affiliated with Columbia. We've 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.680 never seen him, we don't know who is this guy 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:49.680 comes down down the stairs yelling death to Jews. I 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.880 was shocked. And they walked directly to the person and 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:58.040 they told him you don't represent us because this is 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.880 not something that we agree with. And directly what I've done, 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.520 I tooked the megaphone and they gave a speech and 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:12.039 they said, we here are conscious, educated students, and we 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.760 know how to separate right from wrong, and what this 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:21.880 guy has said is wrong. What this guy has said 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:29.039 is clearly anti sematic against Jews. Ant to be anti 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:36.080 Semitic is unjust, is unjust, and the fight for the 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.160 freedom of Palestine and the fight against anti Semitism go 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.880 hand in hand because injustice anywhere is a threat to 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.200 justice everywhere. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:52.880 Yeah, I mean he said everything that would make him 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.440 a respectable protester, at least based on what the fucking 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.960 dims were saying last year, Like, there's nothing in there 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.880 that's pro Hamas. There's nothing in anything I can tell 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.160 this guy has done that his advocacy towards terrorism, Like 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.120 but obviously that's not what matters. What matters is they 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.599 have the ability to get him out and they're doing 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:12.680 that because of his speech. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.760 Yeah, he took a step back from protests in March 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.200 of twenty twenty four during the second wave of student 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.760 protests at Columbia. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.800 Yeah, and like I believe he didn't. Isn't he like 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.559 a member of the university Buddhist Club. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.039 Yes, part of why he took a step back was 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.240 to focus on his role in the Buddhist Club as 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.280 a as for I think in the past, like two 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.599 years he has been participating in that on campus. Yeah, 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.800 he told CBS News the day before he was detained. Quote, 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.680 if my story will become another story for the struggle 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.760 to have justice and democracy in this country, let it 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.640 be unquote like other students who've been targeted and arrested. 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.080 He has not been charged or accused of any crime, 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.200 but the State Department has deemed him a threat to 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:57.240 foreign policy. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.880 Yeah. Hot to see how but I think as we're 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:02.119 seeing it, that doesn't really matter. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.640 Yeah. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.840 Now, last Friday, a Louisiana judge ruled in favor of 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.880 the Trump administration to allow the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.320 upholding the government's argument that the rarely used Cold War 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.840 era statute of the Immigration and Nationality Act allows for 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.360 the Secretary of State to deport aliens that pose quote 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:26.200 adverse foreign policy consequences. The only quote unquote evidence presented 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.000 in court was a two page memo written by Mark 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.280 Rubio that alleges that Khalil's presence in the country threatens 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.960 quote US policy. Had to come by anti semitism around 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.400 the world and in the United States, based on information 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.679 provided by the DHS, ICE and Homeland security investigations regarding 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.120 the participation and rules of Khalil in anti Semitic protests 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.119 and disruptive actions which foster a hostile environment for Jewish 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.560 students in the United States unquote. So there's no real 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.760 evidence in this document. It is just Mark Rubio's opinion 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.680 for two pages, and this is the only evidence that 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.560 ever has been held in court that resulted in the 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.280 judge ruling in the government's favor. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.800 A lot of what we're seeing here is the natural 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.800 conclusion to what was happening with like Dance last year 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.160 talking about Haitian immigrants and admitting like, yeah, it's not 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.480 literally true, but like it's true to how we feel. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.920 So it's like fine for us to spread this lie. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:23.000 Like they're just declaring these people terrorists and even attempting 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.840 to get evidence for that claim, like they certainly have 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.200 no need to. And the media that like I'm seeing 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.560 coverage on Fox particularly that's just repeatedly framing this as 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:39.599 like the left is angry that like a terrorist got deborded, right, yeah. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.920 Yeah, I mean this is the same stuff that we 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.800 saw at the RNC where they referred to students as terrorists, 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.920 like just completely completely flattened. Like every single person at 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.800 a college campus who is upset about a genocide or 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.280 criticizes the state of Israel, that person is a terrorist. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.160 Lawyers for Khalil have until April twenty third to file 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.520 an appeal to the deportation, and they plan to file 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.000 an asylum case on his behalf. A separate habeas petition 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.320 case is playing out in a New Jersey court. This week, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.360 NBC News reviewed over one hundred pages of documents from 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.720 the federal government and Khalil's legal team containing information about 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.560 his immigration process, work experience, and activism. These documents showed 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:24.240 that the government used unverified tabloid reporting against Khalil and 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:30.320 contained contradictory information yep, so, essentially using New York Post 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:35.439 style publications as a pretext for ICE to execute arrests 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.880 against people who are Green card holders, legal permanent residents 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.200 of the United States. We're going to go on break 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.480 and come back to talk about Robert F. Kennedy Junior. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.600 Finally, finally, something fun. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.080 All right, we're back. I'm gonna throw to Robert Evans 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.000 for an update on everyone's favorite roadkill consumer. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.800 Yes, yes, RFK Junior. He's not just strapping the carcass 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.760 of a dead whale to the head of his truck 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.920 and driving down the highway. Now he is while kind 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.360 of launching a genocidal campaign against people with autism. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.080 Kind of doing a national eugenics program. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.720 Yeah, kind of calling a large group of people in 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.280 this country useless eaters. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.040 Jesus Christ. Yeah. Fuck. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.880 And the gist of what's happening is they just had 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.080 a new quote unquote study come out that looked at 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.000 like apparently rising autism rates. And again I've covered this 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.720 a lot. The reason why rates of autism are increasing 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.520 every credible scientist degrees is because we're looking for it 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.960 more and so we're finding more of it and we 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.640 have a broader understanding of what it is. RFK Junior 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.360 is obsessed with the idea, the image of autism as 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.960 a disease that is spreading due to an environmental contagion, 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.199 and he is trying to make the case that this 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.480 is a calamity. He has promised. The most recent promise 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.200 he made is that by September the government will release 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:15.079 exhaustive studies that will identify the environmental causes of autism. 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.640 And he made a statement autism destroys families. More importantly, 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.439 it destroys our greatest resource, which is our children. These 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.760 are children who should not be suffering like this. He 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.720 is called autism a preventable disease, which it is not. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.200 While there is evidence that some of the factors that 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.959 can be relevant in autism expressing are environmental, the vast 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.000 majority of it seems to be genetic. There's no evidence, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.680 and there have been repeated studies there has anything to 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.679 do with vaccines. He's positive a couple of other theories 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.960 as to what causes it, including mold and diet, and 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.240 these are largely based on what are already kind of quack, 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:58.120 both autism treatments and quack autism causes that are popular 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.560 within the biomedical movement bare metal biomedical movement, which is 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.560 the fake autism medical industrial complex that we covered recently 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.439 on the Behind the Bastards. One of the things I 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.160 think is really worrying about the language that Kennedy is 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.959 using is how similar it sounds to a lot of 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:18.040 what you were seeing in the early nineteen thirties out 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.800 of the Nazi state, what we know of as the Holocaust, 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.080 which is generally a term generally primarily when people use 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.240 that term. They are talking about the mass killing of 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:32.080 Jews and other ethnic minorities in Central Europe by the 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:36.680 Nazi state. That got a lot of its start, and 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.840 there's a couple of different places got it start. Obviously, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.320 the wild concentration camps and the political concentration camps are 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.560 in that heritage. When it comes to the actual mass 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.400 killing of people, the very origin of that was in 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.720 getting rid of the disabled. Right. The term that was 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.640 used in Nazi propaganda for these people was useless eaters. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.120 And this is the first time that the Nazis tested 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.000 out gassing right in large numbers. And he hasn't used 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.400 literally the term useless eaters, but he talks a lot about. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.680 One of the terms he uses is severe autism, right, 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.520 which is not the term that is popularly used now 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.920 for people who have kind of profound autism. I think 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.240 is the preferred term for people who do have a 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.000 significantly higher degree of like disability as a result of 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.600 their autism or that correlates with their autism, right, as 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.680 opposed to the vast majority of people who can be 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.560 diagnosed to somewhere on the spectrum who are able to 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.160 live independently. Right and Kennedy sort of does the thing 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.520 that is very common within this community of sort of 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.720 number one, correlating that to everybody with autism and talking 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.240 about it as if it is a disaster that justifies 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.360 any kind of response, because the people who have profound 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.560 autism aren't real people in his eyes. He made a 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.600 statement quote, these are kids who will never pay taxes, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.280 they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.680 never write a poem, they'll never go out on a date. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.680 Many of them will never use a toilet on assisted. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.120 We have to recognize we are doing this to our children. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.200 And first off, having taught a lot of kids with 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.880 profound autism, yes they could play baseball, like a number 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.040 of them held jobs. Now do a lot of them 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.200 need assisted living? Sure, But like number one, that's always 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.319 been the case. There's no evidence that people with this 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.720 kind of autom that there's any sort of raise in 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.520 this right. What's raised is the number of people who 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.680 are being diagnosed. Right, And he's using this kind of 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.200 scare term, right, this idea that like parents, you need 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.280 to be frightened that something is going to steal your 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:38.240 children from you. In order to justify the dehumanization of 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:45.560 everyone with autism, as well as radical biomedical experimental procedures 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.080 that are going to do harm at scale to lots 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.720 of kids. One of his favorite new terms is epidemic denial, 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.560 which is the term that he's using for people who 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.520 say that, like, this is not an epidemic, this is 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.440 something that we're now screening for me more, he's kind 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.920 of kind of repurposing the language of like vaccine denial 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.880 and whatnot as like a denial that this is sort 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:12.640 of an immediate crisis that needs to be hit, which 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.160 I find interesting. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.080 Also like co opting like COVID conscious language. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.640 Yeah, yeah, I think the way he and his group 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.880 were referred to during COVID he's now using in the 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.640 same fashion. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:27.040 Yeah, And it's interesting. His initial promise was that like, 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.080 by September, will know why autism rates are on the rise. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.800 That's not really a thing. You can't make science work 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.040 that way, Like you can't guarantee that. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.640 Like you said, we already know because people are seeking 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.440 out diagnoses. 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.040 Like because right, we have better awareness of it now. 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.040 But he's kind of altered that recently, being like, no, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.720 we'll have some answers by September, and you know, We're 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.760 gonna get those answers by removing the taboo so that 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.720 doctors won't get gas lit by blaming autism on vaccines 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.640 or you know, mold exposure or the like. That's that's 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.480 what we can look forward to in the near future 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.320 from our good friend RFK Junior, who definitely doesn't pay 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.880 taxes or write poems. I just want to make that clear. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.720 I don't think either of those are particularly good bars 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.480 for whether or not you're a human being. But he 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:14.880 for sure doesn't do either. 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:20.040 As frankly, I know way too many autistic people who 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:20.960 write poems. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:22.440 Oh tons of them. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.640 Ys gonna say, yeah, the ring poeing things was a 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:26.680 really fucking. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.160 The poet Lauriate of Washington State since twenty twenty three 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.760 is a is a woman with autism. So yeah, like. 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:39.040 I writing poems nonsense, extremely common activity for my fellow ye, 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.040 my fellow autism people. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.480 Yeah, they are okay, okay, ore FK Junior again, but 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.240 he was talking about, you know, people with what he 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:51.000 calls severe autism. But he also doesn't ever care to 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.320 like specify his language because there's no there's no benefit 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.040 that's a real medical yeah, and there's no benefit to 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.960 his ideology in acknowledging that, like, well, most people who 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.720 get diagnosed with autism may need some accommodations. It's a difference, right, 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.919 It's a difference in the way your mind works. But 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.600 they're fine, Like they're living healthy, happy lives. 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.640 Yeah, I talk slightly differently in the cool zone work chat, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.800 which is kind of the extent of it for me, extent, 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:25.560 but that is an aspect. Speaking of the Department of 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.480 Health Human Services, they released a report page on their 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.919 website for you, the the vigilance citizen. Oh yes, to 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:38.560 report trans miners receiving healthcare. Finally, and so an another 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.439 one of these like snitching hotlines at this time on 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.560 a federal government website that I'm sure will only get real, 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.639 real complaints sent to it, and not the B movie. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.800 See not repeatedly the B movie scrap. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:55.320 Yeah, speaking of trans people, I do have a few 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.280 updates on some some of the transgender stuff. During that 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.280 meeting between President Buklea and Trump, they went on a 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:07.320 small tangent about trans people where where Trump said that 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.439 he actually doesn't like talking about quote unquote men in 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.119 women's sports because he wants to wait and save that 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.680 issue to use for the next election. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:17.520 Amazing. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.440 Yeah, I'm going to play the clip, and I don't. 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.080 Like talking about it because I want to save it 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.680 for just before the next election. I said, my people 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:29.640 don't even talk about it because they'll change then. Well, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.560 but I watched this morning it was a congressman fighting 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.800 to the debt for men to play against women in sports. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:43.360 That's like super interesting, like very clear insight into how 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.040 like Trump sees like the trands of sports issue and 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.960 treats it as this like election winning superpower, and like 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.679 he certainly he is directing like the DOJ and with 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.640 his executive orders, like he still is targeting trans people, 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.960 especially trans people against So it's not that he's treating 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.920 this as like a hands off issue to like ensure 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.359 that it can remain a hot button thing for the 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.800 next election. But I think I think in his mind, 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:14.480 like he doesn't want to stop Democrats from caring about 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.680 this issue in a way like like the the more 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.600 that they that they fight for it in his mind 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.359 is like what gives him ammunition for the next election, 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.159 whether he's going to run for a third term or 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.520 just like Republicans like mega stuff in general. But I 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.960 think that it is an interesting look into like his 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:34.840 personal insight on this issue. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:39.000 just announced on Wednesday, April sixteenth, that they are suing 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.639 Maine's Department of Education for not complying with Trump's anti 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.399 trans executive order by continuing to allow trans people to 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.159 compete in sports, claiming that they are quote failing to 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:53.280 protect women in women's sports unquote, which which they say 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.680 violates Title nine. The suit aims to get an injunction 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.000 to force man to strip away rights from trans people 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:04.600 in schools, to take away two winning titles from trans 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.200 of school athletes, and are considering to quote unquote retroactively 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:13.159 pull all funding that Maine has received. Maine's Attorney General, 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:17.720 Aaron Frey said on Wednesday, quote our position is further 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.400 bolstered by the complete lack of any legal citation supporting 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.119 the administration's position in its own complaint. While the President 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.560 issued in executive order that reflects his own interpretations of 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.440 the law, anyone with the most basic understanding of American 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.280 civics understands that the President does not create law nor 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.960 interpret law unquote. So Maine and specifically the main governor, 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.520 are adamant that this is going to be an issue 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.440 that's only going to be settled in the courts, and 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.680 in fact challenged Trump at a recent meeting to see 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.840 you in court over this issue. We are going to 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:53.879 go and break and then return to close out this 0:20:54.080 --> 0:21:10.280 episode of executive disorder. Okay, we are back. I'm now 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.920 gonna throw to myself and Mia to discuss the tariff 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:19.200 talk in a future recording. 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.440 Rocky jazz b Rocky jazz. 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:30.639 Bot, Sorry lot, Rocky jazz Bo, Rocky. 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:34.639 Jazz Bob, welcome the Tariff talk, the talk where I 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:39.520 talk to you about the turf tariffs. So all right, 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.720 the big thing that happens last week in tariffs was 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:46.880 that Trump exempted smartphones and electronics. There's a whole suite 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.640 of electronics that are exempted from the one and forty 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:54.399 five percent turf tariffs from Liberation Day. Now, there was 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:58.920 still a twenty percent tariff on all these electronic goods 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:03.280 from the earlier round tariffs. In one of the initial rounds, 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.520 there was a whole thing where he put a bunch 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:05.919 of tariffs. 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.280 I'm so confused though, because I thought that's ten percent 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.000 tariffs for non Chinese companies. 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.560 Yeah, but okay, So here's. 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:20.439 The thing, right, China like additional or no. 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:22.840 Okay. So, so what's happening with these is that in 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:24.880 the very very first round of tariffs that went out, 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.439 there was a twenty percent tariff on all Chinese goods, 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:32.040 and so the Liberation Day tariffs, which and then the 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:35.840 subsequent retaliatory tariffs pushed. 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.040 It pushed all goods now two hundred fifty. 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:39.840 Okay, we're gonna we're gonna get two hundred fiyercent. That 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.600 the numbers bullshit, But we're at one hundred and forty 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:46.879 five percent like tariff from the Liberation Day stuff. But 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:50.439 that also had included an earlier twenty percent tariff, and 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.680 you see, you see why we're reporting about this is 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.320 so fucking hard, right, So that was stack on top 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.400 of that other tariff. So if he's removed the Liberation 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.240 Day tariffs, but there still are twenty percent tariffs on 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.000 all like iPhones and all the electronicos that are still 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:05.760 in effect. So the tariff right for those goods is 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.720 now twenty instead of one hundred and forty five. But 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.680 this is where things get even more murky. So even 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:17.080 before the exemptions for the semiconductor stuff had been released. 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.240 Trump had been talking about imposing a bunch of tariffs, 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:26.359 specifically on semiconductors from all countries, which is going to like, again, 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.720 if this is just awesome, if you want to just 0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:33.520
