Speaker 1: Old media.
Speaker 2: No, yep, yep, it's it could happen here electile.
Speaker 3: Disorder executive disorder, which is our weekly newscast, which we've
Speaker 3: been doing all year, so we should we should know
Speaker 3: what it's called by now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I'm so good at doing it, naming it.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: This show covers what's happening in the White House, the
Speaker 3: crumbling world, and what it means for you and me
Speaker 3: and everyone else. I'm Garrison Davis. This episode, I'm joined
Speaker 3: by Robert Evans, James Stout, and Maya Wong, and we
Speaker 3: are covering the week of October twenty second to October thirtieth. Yep.
Speaker 5: So I think we should start off the bat by
Speaker 5: with the same thing we started off last week with,
Speaker 5: which is that as your Halloween. Yeah, well that on
Speaker 5: the upside weed woo spooky. On the downside, forty million
Speaker 5: people lose, lose, there's not benefits the next day on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what's spookier than that. Look, one thing you
Speaker 2: can't say about the government is that they're not failing
Speaker 2: to celebrate the holiday.
Speaker 6: I am scared of the consequences.
Speaker 3: Yeah, stock up on the trigger treater candy.
Speaker 2: I guess, steal as much candy as you can get.
Speaker 2: You're going to need it to stay alive.
Speaker 6: See a group of children, you run past him.
Speaker 4: Kick them.
Speaker 2: Oh their kids. They can't stop you.
Speaker 6: Yep. Hold it above your head. They can't reach it.
Speaker 3: No, it is. It is extremely grim, and there seems
Speaker 3: to be no indication from the Republicans of the Trump
Speaker 3: administration that they are going to work with the Democrats
Speaker 3: to resolve this without sacrificing health care for millions of Americans.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So, Gavin Newsom, a friend of the show, has
Speaker 6: deployed the California National God to assist food banks and estate.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Like, look, the thing is, when you participate in the
Speaker 6: largest crackdown unprotected First Amendments beach in recent history, you
Speaker 6: don't get to show up and hand out snacks and
Speaker 6: feel good. And many food banks, including some in the
Speaker 6: Bay Area, have refused the help of National Guard members
Speaker 6: right because they have this very obvious concern that some
Speaker 6: people might be reluctant to go to places where the
Speaker 6: soldiers who are standing right next to all the different
Speaker 6: immigration agents in la are now working, and so this
Speaker 6: will have the opposite of a positive effect in those
Speaker 6: instances right, people who are afraid to go to food
Speaker 6: banks are going to remain hungry. The consequences of this
Speaker 6: will be negative. The issue, I don't think is a
Speaker 6: lack of person power. The issue is a lack of funding.
Speaker 6: The state has mobilized eighty million dollars in funds, but
Speaker 6: millions of Californians will be going hungry. And because of
Speaker 6: the failure of state authorities to stop federal authorities deploying
Speaker 6: the National Guard to LA and other areas where immigration
Speaker 6: enforcement was happening, this stunt that Newsman is going for
Speaker 6: could have very negative consequences for for food banks and
Speaker 6: for Californians who are hungry. Something sick and cool you
Speaker 6: can do if you have the means and the time
Speaker 6: is to pick up food from food banks for people
Speaker 6: who need it. A lot of people might be concerned.
Speaker 3: One of the biggest problems is how much food banks
Speaker 3: get food also through these programs, yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean support. Yeah, food banks themselves are
Speaker 6: going to be struggling right now. So like I actually
Speaker 6: I did a thread on lib on blue Sky where
Speaker 6: were you going to say?
Speaker 3: Lived Twitter? And then corrected to blue Sky.
Speaker 6: I was going to say lib Sky. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: fact checked myself. It's blue Wave Sky.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: You cannot get that past me. I could pick up
Speaker 3: on what you were doing, Garrison Davis like a viper struck. Yeah,
Speaker 3: at the core of my thought process. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So if you're on, if you're Skeeita, then you can
Speaker 6: you can find their threader made I link get in
Speaker 6: the show notes with food banks that are looking for donations,
Speaker 6: and you can also use that to find a food
Speaker 6: bank in your area if you're interested in that. But yet,
Speaker 6: this is a serious problem. This is the should be
Speaker 6: the biggest news story. I'm thinking particularly of those folks
Speaker 6: in Alaska right who found themselves as climate refugees due
Speaker 6: to this storm right which flooded their villages and now
Speaker 6: not only facing the loss of their villages and their homes,
Speaker 6: but also all their cached food. These are people who
Speaker 6: often would have hunted or fished or relied on storing
Speaker 6: food for the winter, and now finding themselves unable to
Speaker 6: access federal benefits.
Speaker 2: Doing the thing that like, there's a representative. Clay Higgins
Speaker 2: of Louisiana made a tweet today blaming snap recipients for
Speaker 2: not stockpiling a month's worth of food.
Speaker 6: Does he understand how this works?
Speaker 2: He said, try to get your head wrapped around how
Speaker 2: many pantries you can start with forty two hundred dollars,
Speaker 2: which is what people get on average per year. He says,
Speaker 2: with Snap benefits in properly shopped groceries. Any American who's
Speaker 2: been receiving forty two hundred dollars per year of free
Speaker 2: groceries and does not have at least one month of
Speaker 2: grocery stock should never again receive Snap because wow, stop
Speaker 2: smoking crack.
Speaker 3: That's inhumane.
Speaker 2: Dealing with the shit that they talk about is almost
Speaker 2: pointless because they're all liars. But like h as like
Speaker 2: what you said, Like people are on Snap for a
Speaker 2: wide variety of reasons. They're largely employed. They're just not
Speaker 2: getting enough money to actually like survive and feed their family.
Speaker 2: And like, the forty two hundred dollars a year for
Speaker 2: a family is not in fact enough to stockpile a
Speaker 2: huge quantity of food.
Speaker 6: No, it's not like it's remarkable how totach the people
Speaker 6: who make our laws off from Yeah, the working class experience.
Speaker 5: There is no way that guy knows how much of
Speaker 5: banana costs.
Speaker 2: No way, zero, He has no idea that man isn't
Speaker 2: shopped for himself in fucking twenty years.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah they I does not know how much it
Speaker 6: cost to buy now mac and cheese for your kids.
Speaker 2: And obviously you know we hear we talk about storing food,
Speaker 2: about canning your own food, and there are things you
Speaker 2: can do even on a budget when you don't have
Speaker 2: much money to build a stockpile. And that's why I
Speaker 2: encourage people to pay attention to things like prices at
Speaker 2: the grocery store when things are a lot cheaper because
Speaker 2: they're in season, and learn how to do things like
Speaker 2: pressure can right and pickle different foods. You want it,
Speaker 2: because there are ways that you can. And this is why, right,
Speaker 2: it's not because you should be doing that or your irresponsible.
Speaker 2: It's because we even when it comes to the social
Speaker 2: safety net, you know that we have what little of
Speaker 2: one that we have. You can't rely on it because
Speaker 2: at any given point it could become a fucking fucking
Speaker 2: football for Democrats and Republicans to fight over and go away. Right, Like,
Speaker 2: none of this stuff is reliable, which is why people
Speaker 2: ought to, if it's at all possible, be doing stuff
Speaker 2: like that, right, Not because they should have to do that.
Speaker 2: But because you cannot rely on the government, right. And
Speaker 2: I don't say that as like a critique of people
Speaker 2: or to like shit on people. It's just like it's
Speaker 2: a fact. It's the fact that people need to increasingly
Speaker 2: accept because this is not going to be getting better
Speaker 2: in the long run. Yeah, let's talk about Graham Plattner.
Speaker 6: All right, Oh god, I do so to touch politicians.
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, James brought up Graham Plattner,
Speaker 2: who is running for Congress in Maine, and some ads
Speaker 2: that he had put out which were really and I
Speaker 2: still think are really good ads, good ads in terms
Speaker 2: of they were effective objectively. He raised a lot of money.
Speaker 2: He was leading in the polls prior to us. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about a bunch of scandals coming out. He's no
Speaker 2: longer leading, but he was doing very well for a while.
Speaker 2: So his campaign, the strategy that he was following, which
Speaker 2: was largely a mix of talking about and really pushing
Speaker 2: investments in social programs and particularly healthcare, and attacking the
Speaker 2: billionaire class in very stark terms. Talked about they need
Speaker 2: to effectively get rid of that as a group of people,
Speaker 2: like tax them out of existence. That's a popular you know,
Speaker 2: and and and a good thing to campaign on. And
Speaker 2: the success that he had early on is evidence that
Speaker 2: there's a lot of legs to talking about that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff and the way that he did, and he
Speaker 2: talked about in a very combative way. Right, this guy
Speaker 2: was a former marine, some sort of fisherman. I think
Speaker 2: whatever kind of he's fisherman. I think it's an oyster
Speaker 2: farmer or some shit whatever. They have a that nonsense
Speaker 2: state Sorry Maynites.
Speaker 6: They called maniacs. Technically, I think they're called maners. That
Speaker 6: copy right Garrison.
Speaker 2: So he was coming across as a very like blue
Speaker 2: collar guy, right, like a very and kind of crude
Speaker 2: but crewed in a like I'm a straight talker sort
Speaker 2: of guy. And that worked that that was a good campaign,
Speaker 2: and we highlighted that because I think it struck you know,
Speaker 2: James is the one who brought it to our attention,
Speaker 2: but I think it struck all of us as, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a guy who was kind of doing talking
Speaker 2: to voters in a way that we wish more Democrats
Speaker 2: were right, and then in the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: oh god, so many scamps come out about this guy,
Speaker 2: the most well known of them as that for the
Speaker 2: last twenty years of his life he has had a
Speaker 2: totin cough tattooed over his pectoral that is the Death's Head. Now,
Speaker 2: it dates back before the Nazis. It was a niche.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this was the very first use
Speaker 2: of it, but the very first prominent use of it
Speaker 2: in military history was as the insignia for a unit
Speaker 2: called the Death'shead Hussars, which was an elite German cavalry unit.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure I think they did still exist
Speaker 2: in World War One, but they were that was well
Speaker 2: past their prime. And it was then adopted by the SS,
Speaker 2: and it was it was worn by a number, by
Speaker 2: a lot of guys in the SS, but it was
Speaker 2: specifically the insignia of a unit called the totenkof SS,
Speaker 2: which existed to guard concentration camps and death camps. So
Speaker 2: having one tattooed on you bad, Yeah, not cool. Platner
Speaker 2: has said, basically, it was a dumb tattoo I got
Speaker 2: when I was young and just joining the Marine Corps,
Speaker 2: and I didn't know what it meant. And I am
Speaker 2: willing to believe that like a nineteen year old who
Speaker 2: joins the Marines would make a bad tattoo decision because
Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends that were in the
Speaker 2: Marines and they all have bad tattoos, right, none of
Speaker 2: them have Death's Heads.
Speaker 3: So you got it well, in like Croatia drunk, Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: and he was hammered, and yeah, the probability of walking
Speaker 3: into a tattoo shop in Croatia and coming out with
Speaker 3: a Nazi tattoo is extremely high.
Speaker 6: Sure, Yeah, it's not low. Yeah, Yeah, they're on the
Speaker 6: flash seat for Friday the thirteenth. They probably are.
Speaker 2: If it had just come out that he'd had this
Speaker 2: for some period of time, being like, yeah, I got
Speaker 2: like I was hammered in Croatia and I got a
Speaker 2: fucked up tattoo and realized it and got it covered.
Speaker 2: I had it been like not a story, right, like
Speaker 2: man gets bad tattoos, dumb kid. But number one, he
Speaker 2: kept it until he got it covered in like the
Speaker 2: last week or so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, tell you that was a real piece of odd
Speaker 6: that he covered it with, which is a.
Speaker 2: Wild choice to just keep it for that long. But
Speaker 2: also he claimed I had no idea until it came
Speaker 2: out as a story because I forget what outlet, but
Speaker 2: some news outlet found out that he had it and
Speaker 2: was going to publish it.
Speaker 6: And I think his team told Pod Save America when
Speaker 6: he went on the PUD Save America pod.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but he had heard that there was opposition research.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, because he had sent out to like another
Speaker 5: thing that he went on, like a picture of him
Speaker 5: with his shirt off, and they were like wait, what.
Speaker 2: Like there were a few of them floating around.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 6: If you've lived that kind of life, there's going to
Speaker 6: be pitched of you with the shirt off, you know,
Speaker 6: like they refusing to acknowledge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew earlier in my life that it was
Speaker 2: a death's head. And like there's reports from people who
Speaker 2: knew him that he called it a tote cough and
Speaker 2: joked about it.
Speaker 6: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I'll me be clear, I don't actually think that Graham
Speaker 2: is a secret Nazi sleeper agent. I really don't. I
Speaker 2: think he's a guy with really questionable judgment, which is reason,
Speaker 2: you know, to be very critical of his campaign. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I take a lot of issue with how he's responded
Speaker 2: to this because rather than again just kind of doing
Speaker 2: a mea polpa he's gone on the this is my
Speaker 2: enemies in the Democratic Party to silence me thing, and
Speaker 2: a very weird coalition has propped up kind of around him,
Speaker 2: trying to argue that this is a circular firing squad
Speaker 2: kind of deal. Like there was a Jacobin article being like,
Speaker 2: it's fucked up that people are going after Graham, and
Speaker 2: the pod Save guys are defending him, like it is
Speaker 2: a weird coalition that's circling around this fella.
Speaker 3: What do you think that Joe Rogan of the Left meant?
Speaker 3: Vibes essays.
Speaker 6: We wanted a guy who took loads of steroids and
Speaker 6: didn't have problematic opinions.
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna say this in any other instance about
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan, but he wouldn't have gotten that tattoo because
Speaker 2: he knows what a death's hit.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he knew in like two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven or what. I think there's a very strong
Speaker 3: alternate world where two thousand and seven, Joe Rogan is
Speaker 3: traveling a total accidentally gets a com tattoo.
Speaker 2: It's not impossible. You're right, You're right. I guess I'm
Speaker 2: just assuming he's watched enough World War two documentaries to know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but watching those will like smoking weeds, so he
Speaker 3: doesn't remember anything that's fair.
Speaker 2: These are fair points you're making, Garrison. So a couple
Speaker 2: of surprising things about this, And this is not the
Speaker 2: only scandal it's kind of come out about him recently,
Speaker 2: but at number one, it did not immediately take a
Speaker 2: strong hit to his polling. This seems to be prilmarily
Speaker 2: just because a lot of voters aren't aware of it.
Speaker 2: Because in poles where they at where they informed people
Speaker 2: that he had a Nazi tattoo, his support drops dramatically
Speaker 2: by like thirty points. That said he was leading until
Speaker 2: like two or three days ago, I think was the
Speaker 2: most recent poll that came out that had a main governor,
Speaker 2: Janet Mills, in the lead above him. We're not talking
Speaker 2: about the main race yet. This is we're still in
Speaker 2: the primary, right, so he's challenging Janet Mills for the primary.
Speaker 6: Sure, And yeah, at.
Speaker 2: Present, according to so called strategies who did a pole
Speaker 2: very recently and it's the most recent poll, Mills has
Speaker 2: forty one percent from likely voters and Platner has thirty
Speaker 2: six percent, although about a fifth of respondents are undecided.
Speaker 2: And yeah, this is a pretty dramatic upset because prior
Speaker 2: to the whole Nazi tattoo news coming out, Platner was
Speaker 2: leading Mills by about thirty four points. So this has
Speaker 2: gone from Platner looked to have it in the bag
Speaker 2: to it's pretty close. Mills is ahead, not by a
Speaker 2: lead that's so commanding that it's a definite thing. You know,
Speaker 2: a standard polling error could have them basically be neck
Speaker 2: and neck, and we all should know at this point
Speaker 2: how frequently that kind of stuff happens.
Speaker 6: Yeah, polling never wrong. But yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's one of those somebody angry at us on the
Speaker 2: subredit being like, I can't believe they're hiding that like
Speaker 2: this has happened, you know, with this guy that they
Speaker 2: endorse like that we did endorse him and number two
Speaker 2: like this, this shit was breaking. When we were recording
Speaker 2: the ed last week, we made like a reference about it,
Speaker 2: but not much had come out, and there certainly hadn't
Speaker 2: been time for us to really look into what was
Speaker 2: going on here. And it's not this is a main
Speaker 2: Senate primary, and this is not like the very top
Speaker 2: of our list of crucial things to hit. The second
Speaker 2: it happens. We can wait on something like this to
Speaker 2: see how stuffs shaking out a little bit. No one's
Speaker 2: voting yet, so it's not like we're influencing the election
Speaker 2: by not coming out or whatever.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like we only get to come so much. We
Speaker 6: have one hour of like news round Up show a week,
Speaker 6: and they the Blue Sky Twitter drama about Grand Plannery
Speaker 6: is not as important as the fact that millions of
Speaker 6: people are losing that food this week. Now.
Speaker 2: One thing that is interesting, and I do think this
Speaker 2: is an important race just because of kind of what
Speaker 2: it says about what sort of strategies are working now
Speaker 2: and igniting the base, and what kind of stuff does
Speaker 2: matter in terms of scandals. I think there are some
Speaker 2: things that are really relevant here. One thing that is
Speaker 2: interesting to me is that, according to a poll, very
Speaker 2: recent poll, the article came in October twenty sixth, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five, majority of young Democrats still back grand Platner
Speaker 2: even after the whole tattoo thing. And this is really
Speaker 2: interesting to me because the data shows that in general,
Speaker 2: among likely voters, his potential support plummets when people are
Speaker 2: made aware that he had the tattoo, but young Democrats
Speaker 2: are by far the group most likely to have become
Speaker 2: aware of it as soon as the story broke, because
Speaker 2: young people are much more online than older people, and
Speaker 2: among young people he's still well ahead, which I really
Speaker 2: just do think speaks more than anything to the strength of.
Speaker 3: The rhetoric he has been using.
Speaker 2: The platform that he came out the gate with. It's
Speaker 2: and the rhetoric right, his combative rhetoric is really attractive
Speaker 2: to young voters, especially.
Speaker 6: Explain you a generation to us, garrison, why you like this?
Speaker 3: I mean, these are a lot of stuff that the
Speaker 3: Zoron campaign kind of like ignited around, Yeah you're you're
Speaker 3: right exactly rhetoric. And then you know, Sanders and AOC
Speaker 3: had their like anti oligarchy tour, which I mean, we
Speaker 3: don't need to like debate like the use of like
Speaker 3: that term. But no, there there isn't a huge frustration
Speaker 3: at the geriatric Democratic Party, and this sort of populis
Speaker 3: rhetoric is very popular among young people as it as
Speaker 3: it has been since the Sanders campaign in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: This isn't like new a revolutionary information. The fact that
Speaker 3: this guy has gotten to this point has gotten either
Speaker 3: past scandals where it's navigating through it, despite his like
Speaker 3: you know, very questionable background and military and uh military
Speaker 3: private contracting, his like misogynistic Reddit posts which were unearthed
Speaker 3: as as like an attack against him, which I think
Speaker 3: he actually handled that scandal fairly well, using it as
Speaker 3: a parallel to chart his own political journey. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I can understand why a whole bunch of young people
Speaker 3: who are reading about this aren't going to actually care
Speaker 3: at all about any of these stories and still vote
Speaker 3: for him because of what he's saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I want to be clear, I didn't bring
Speaker 2: this up because think it's bad even that, like young
Speaker 2: people are still supporting him. I think this is something
Speaker 2: that people, especially in the Democratic Party, who care about winning.
Speaker 2: And I think it's people on the left who are
Speaker 2: trying to look at what can we do to get
Speaker 2: more progressive and combative candidates who are going to do
Speaker 2: something both about the right and about the billionaire class.
Speaker 2: What can we do to actually like win. You should
Speaker 2: be paying attention to this because this this rhetoric works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and because surely there's one other guy who can
Speaker 3: say these things. You can find one person who could
Speaker 3: use rhetoric, is good on camera and has not had
Speaker 3: a total CoV tattooed on their chest for almost twenty years. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And also the most wild part about this I don't
Speaker 5: even think is that it's that this guy was in
Speaker 5: Blackwater like Sonid's constell Us, but he calls it Blackwater.
Speaker 2: He was, yeah, that's the other scandals. Please, let's let's Yeah.
Speaker 5: He deployed to Afghanistan for Blackwater in twenty.
Speaker 3: Eight their first Shrug administration.
Speaker 5: No one at any point in this process went, hold on, wait,
Speaker 5: this guy went to fight in Afghanistan, like in twenty.
Speaker 3: Eighteen, Like, yeah, they prosecuted.
Speaker 5: The guys from Nisar Square, Yeah, from the Sour Square massacre. Yeah,
Speaker 5: after the square, Like those people got prosecuted four years
Speaker 5: before that.
Speaker 3: And he joined Blackwater in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: And to be clear, because this is something James brought
Speaker 2: up when we talked about this in our chat previously,
Speaker 2: he didn't technically join Blackwater because Blackwater has changed its
Speaker 2: name and I think merged for a couple of countries.
Speaker 6: It was a culprit name. But to be fair to me, yeah,
Speaker 6: he's all that. He said that for Blackwater. There's a
Speaker 6: way in which like, I'm okay with people fucking up
Speaker 6: if they acknowledge they funked up, right, Like, I'm okay
Speaker 6: with him saying I did this and it was wrong,
Speaker 6: so I left and I regret doing it.
Speaker 3: I mean that that is what he's saying, though it
Speaker 3: was specifically after this deployment. Yes, that this is where
Speaker 3: he says that, like this marked his like politicalticalization or
Speaker 3: like yeah, during the path of like how he viewed
Speaker 3: his life in politics specifically was negative experiences during this deployment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I guess that is something I have
Speaker 2: really complicated opinions on because I'm I'm not and I
Speaker 2: really have a lot of issues with folks on the
Speaker 2: left who are like anyone who was ever in the military.
Speaker 6: Is forever baby cal and deeply.
Speaker 2: Like I think that's yeah, deeply, deeply unseerious and incredibly counterproductive.
Speaker 2: And I don't I think that, like it's good that
Speaker 2: someone can do something as fucked up as joined Blackwater
Speaker 2: and realized that they did a horrible thing and change.
Speaker 2: Maybe doing it in twenty eighteen is too recently for
Speaker 2: me to want him in Congress as a progressive.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like that was it was like a
Speaker 5: decade after like he was one of the So he
Speaker 5: wasn't one of.
Speaker 3: The like the torture guards.
Speaker 5: But no, no, like when he was a marine, he gard
Speaker 5: he was like one of the guys.
Speaker 3: He was like assigned to guard Aubu Grab.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, yeah, the torture.
Speaker 3: Scandal, but it's it's like it took you. It took
Speaker 3: you like a decade after that. Yeah, is that maybe
Speaker 3: the thing I'm doing is bad? Like I just I
Speaker 3: just oh god.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, And that's that's kind of like the because
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I don't think having been stationed
Speaker 2: to guard a place where horrible thing like war crimes
Speaker 2: were committed necessarily damns you forever, because like you don't
Speaker 2: choose where you're stationed at guard. Who knows when he
Speaker 2: became aware what was going on in the he was guarding,
Speaker 2: but at some point he did and that wasn't like
Speaker 2: the moment where he was like, ah fuck, you know.
Speaker 2: And I again, I have a lot of friends. I
Speaker 2: have friends who were with the very first infantry unit
Speaker 2: into Iraq, one of whom as they were invading, was like,
Speaker 2: you know this is criminal guys, right, you know we're
Speaker 2: breaking you know, this is fucked up. You know this,
Speaker 2: this war's bullshit. Pat Tillman was saying that, right, like
Speaker 2: Derry and the invasions this guy shot out in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like it took him. It took a minute,
Speaker 3: it took him reasonably long time.
Speaker 5: And also when you read his interviews about it, he's like,
Speaker 5: I did it because it was fun.
Speaker 2: Which is just like, that's that's honest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's honest. It makes me insane.
Speaker 2: Look, I mean, that's that's why people join the Marines
Speaker 2: as they like money and or they're adrenaline jokies.
Speaker 6: Right, I'd rather he was honest about that shit. Actually,
Speaker 6: like I I am.
Speaker 3: It is just like distressing.
Speaker 2: I actually like that. And again I do kind of
Speaker 2: like because there's not a there's not a perfect answers
Speaker 2: to like, well, when should you have had a change
Speaker 2: of heart about something like this before you can like
Speaker 2: be trusted as a political leader on the left. And
Speaker 2: I actually don't really know. I think I would be
Speaker 2: inclined to be like give him the benefit of the
Speaker 2: doubt on that stuff more if it weren't for the
Speaker 2: not yeah.
Speaker 3: Pleasure shift out with plug eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all those things together are kind of sketchy.
Speaker 3: Maybe do a couple of tours as a dog catcher.
Speaker 2: First, Like, you know, I'm seeing a lot of because
Speaker 2: there's a whole lot of like, well, no one else
Speaker 2: who has a chance of winning in Maine is supporting
Speaker 2: the progressive policies he is. You know, you can't have
Speaker 2: it all be perfect or whatever he's you know, we
Speaker 2: should at least hope that he gets in and he
Speaker 2: does the things he's saying. And I guess, like, if
Speaker 2: he does get elected, and it's not the most likely
Speaker 2: thing right now, but it's certainly impossible, I guess I
Speaker 2: hope he does the good stuff he says that he's done.
Speaker 2: I just have a lot less faith in that, given
Speaker 2: both what's come out and his reaction to it.
Speaker 6: Right, it's his reaction to it. It was really disqualifying, right, Like, right,
Speaker 6: there's a world I guess I didn't know that he
Speaker 6: told people it was a total cough. That's pretty fucking incriminating.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's reports from people who have said that
Speaker 3: it's it's unclear, Okay.
Speaker 6: There's reports, got it.
Speaker 2: We don't know objectively, but people have talked to the
Speaker 2: press who knew him and said that he described it
Speaker 2: as a total cough to them several years ago.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, if his response had been like, oh fuck,
Speaker 6: I didn't know, let me get that covered up immediately.
Speaker 6: That his response was so bad to defend it and
Speaker 6: to be like there's a conspiracy against it, really bad.
Speaker 6: It's that failure. And it also just shows like a
Speaker 6: lack of judgment and lack of ability to be critical
Speaker 6: of his own actions, which is worrying.
Speaker 2: It shows the kind of Trumpian fancifulness that really worries me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, damn it, gugaury kind of thing.
Speaker 3: A lot of populists are like this, like this is
Speaker 3: this is a part of populis. Yes, yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: think you can fully decouple it.
Speaker 2: That's probably true, Garrison. Yeah, that's probably true. But I
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not gonna tell you how to vote.
Speaker 2: I've made a habit of never telling people how to vote.
Speaker 2: So if you're in Maine, enjoy your mc lobster and
Speaker 2: do whatever your heart tells you. It's the right thing
Speaker 2: to do, my friend. But also, please don't eat a
Speaker 2: mc lobster there. It's clearly poisoned, you know, avoid avoid
Speaker 2: a m mc lobster's at all costs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, buy an oyster in today the strongest endorsement Robert
Speaker 3: I thinks can make.
Speaker 6: Yeah, is it not? By a mc lobster.
Speaker 2: Avoid a mc lobster at all costs.
Speaker 6: If you're on the West coast, avoid shellfish. And in
Speaker 6: some months it all costs because you can get paralytic
Speaker 6: shellfish poison.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean some people that's just basically getting
Speaker 2: free muscle relaxers games.
Speaker 3: Let's let's do it, ad break from us or at accerts. Okay,
Speaker 3: all right, we are back of Can I do my
Speaker 3: Halloween ice Nazi? Sure? Bevino segment? Is that how you
Speaker 3: say his name? Bavino?
Speaker 6: Greg? Yeah? Greg Green?
Speaker 3: It looks like a Bavino to me. So we're gonna
Speaker 3: talk about him playing dress up and how border patrol
Speaker 3: disrupted a Halloween parade. So last weekend, while conducting an
Speaker 3: immigration enforcement RAINE border patrol disrupted the root of a
Speaker 3: children's Halloween parade in Old Irving Park in Chicago, using
Speaker 3: tear gas and arresting several people, including two US citizens.
Speaker 3: A crowd gathered around after a border patrol arrested a
Speaker 3: thirty five year old construction worker who has lived in
Speaker 3: Chicago since he was four years old. Jesus neighborhood residents
Speaker 3: said that federal agents then deployed tear gas without warning.
Speaker 3: That following Tuesday, the architect of Operation Midway Blitz, Greg Bavino,
Speaker 3: appeared in a federal courts as part of a lawsuit
Speaker 3: alleging excessive force and violations of a tro restricting the
Speaker 3: use of tear gas and crowd control munitions. Bavino seems
Speaker 3: to be flagrantly violating this tro as he was photographed
Speaker 3: personally throwing a tear guest canister into a crowd in
Speaker 3: October twenty second during a raid on a laundromat and
Speaker 3: home depot. The DHS says that protesters are throwing rocks
Speaker 3: and Border Patrol issued warnings, though this account is contradicted
Speaker 3: by video of the incident. US District Judge Sarah Ellis
Speaker 3: told the Border Patrol chief quote, kids dressed in Halloween
Speaker 3: costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate
Speaker 3: threat to the safety of law enforcement officers. They just don't,
Speaker 3: and you can't use riot control weapons against them. This
Speaker 3: trol requires that crowd controlmmunitions may only be used as
Speaker 3: someone posed as an immediate threat to law enforcement, with
Speaker 3: agents instructed to give two verbal warnings before tear gas
Speaker 3: pepper spray can be deployed, and to wear body cams, badges,
Speaker 3: or visible ideas. This order was issued on October ninth.
Speaker 3: To get an idea of how closely this is being followed.
Speaker 3: The Vino himself still is not where a body cam
Speaker 3: and told Judge Ellis quote, I have not received a
Speaker 3: body worn camera nor the training unquote.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Board of Troll agents have generally, just to give
Speaker 6: some context here, not worn body worn cameras for a
Speaker 6: number of reasons. Firstly, they just don't want to. Secondly,
Speaker 6: no one it's making them. Thirdly, they believe that it
Speaker 6: is possible for people to detect the bluetooth signal that
Speaker 6: the camera gives out and thus find them. This is
Speaker 6: something that is theoretically possible as best my research can tell.
Speaker 6: You can make your own judgment as to which those
Speaker 6: factors is weighing most heavily on their choice not to
Speaker 6: wear them. But that they have never been required, like
Speaker 6: as a group, to wear body worn cameras all the time.
Speaker 3: No, this judge is trying to force them to. They're
Speaker 3: just refusing to follow the order despite Bavino saying that
Speaker 3: ninety nine percent of agents have these cameras, which is
Speaker 3: bizarrely specific.
Speaker 6: Clym, Yeah, Like, is he the one percent?
Speaker 3: Like, I guess it's like he's just so obviously lying.
Speaker 3: It's just oh god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's just it's lying. We I think we
Speaker 2: That should be enough to say.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know if I said they never wear them.
Speaker 6: To be clear, they have gone forward and back on
Speaker 6: wearing them. But it was earlier this year that the
Speaker 6: specific security risk they have access to the cameras. Yes, yes,
Speaker 6: they're just refusing to follow this order.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Now. The same complaint that alleged that Vino
Speaker 3: threw a canister with their justification into this crowd also
Speaker 3: detailsn't incident from the next day, October twenty third, where
Speaker 3: agents without wearing identification as required by the order, shot
Speaker 3: a protester in the neck with pepperball from five feet away,
Speaker 3: and while driving away, pointed a pepper ball gun and
Speaker 3: I'm going to read from the complaint quote and then
Speaker 3: a real gun at declarant Chris Gentry, a combat veteran
Speaker 3: who was lawfully standing on the side of the road
Speaker 3: voicing his opposition as agents were driving by in their vehicles.
Speaker 3: The agent who pointed the real gun at mister Gentry's
Speaker 3: face said, quote, bang, bang, you're dead liberal unquote great cool. Anyway,
Speaker 3: plaintiffs have requested body cam footage of this incident, which
Speaker 3: has yet to be provided. Yeah, and I think it's
Speaker 3: worth noting that, I mean, they do this every single
Speaker 3: time there is any kind of protest, They do stuff
Speaker 3: like this. They've been pointing guns at people the entire
Speaker 3: time they've been here. They've been putting a lot of
Speaker 3: guns the past few months, as we have reported.
Speaker 6: Yes they have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they kill people, two.
Speaker 6: People, They've shot more than two people. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, say something like this is insane.
Speaker 6: Yeah no. Yeah, it shows obviously like a complete lack
Speaker 6: of concern for accountability right now, like like absolutely no
Speaker 6: thought that you could be held accountable for this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No.
Speaker 2: And it also shows a desire to kill liberally, yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: which liberals need to be aware of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: You can't let this organization continue to exist, nor can
Speaker 2: you let the people doing this stay free. If you
Speaker 2: ever take power again, there has to be accountability, and
Speaker 2: there has to be an end to their ability, to
Speaker 2: the ability of any law enforcement agency to exist knowing
Speaker 2: that they are unaccountable and cannot be punished for the
Speaker 2: violence that they do to civilians.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess I'll take this point to mention that
Speaker 6: we've covered CBP and DHS's previous shootings in previous years
Speaker 6: and that the internal review process they have for those
Speaker 6: which has led to a lack of accountability even when
Speaker 6: compared to other law enforcement offices.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: During this hearing this last Tuesday, the judge declined to
Speaker 3: alter the TIRO to ban the use of tear gas completely,
Speaker 3: saying that she believes Baveno quote understands where I'm coming from.
Speaker 3: End quote. I don't know that we're going to see
Speaker 3: a whole lot of tear gas being deployed over the
Speaker 3: next week. Unquote cool, great, amazing stuff, jumping out an
Speaker 3: art traditionary.
Speaker 6: Greg's picking up on the vibe. So we should be
Speaker 6: fine now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this Bofito guy seems incredibly trustworthy. Though Judge Ellis
Speaker 3: did instruct Blevino to meet with her every weekday evening
Speaker 3: throughout Operation Midway Blitz till the next hearing in November
Speaker 3: to provide instant briefings on use of force, though just
Speaker 3: One day later, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals blocked
Speaker 3: Judge Ellis's order requiring these daily reports. In some other
Speaker 3: Bovino Moos news, earlier this week, news broke that top
Speaker 3: ICE field office chiefs are set to be reassigned and
Speaker 3: replaced by senior Border Patrol and CBP officials with the
Speaker 3: goal of netting more arrests to boost deportation numbers.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So the role of Border Patrol Germany is to
Speaker 6: patrol the physical border and to do enforcement in that
Speaker 6: one hundred mile border zone. Right. Their role of ICE,
Speaker 6: the majority of ICE agents are not the people that
Speaker 6: you see out that, Yeah, you're jumping out of cars
Speaker 6: and doing these these smashing grabs.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: The majority of ICE agents people who will work in
Speaker 6: the office, who will check in with migrants through their
Speaker 6: intensive supervision program, which is one of their quote unquote
Speaker 6: alternatives to detention. Right. Both of these agencies, you know,
Speaker 6: are relatively aligned with what I'll call ac Donald Trump's agenda.
Speaker 6: But Border Patrol particularly has made a name for like
Speaker 6: Bavino himself and other Border Patrol chiefs were there was
Speaker 6: a time it looked like they were going to force
Speaker 6: Veno to retire and that time was twenty twenty three
Speaker 6: briefing against it Biden administration. Right, Brevino has been kind
Speaker 6: of particularly emblematic of this new border patrol approach, and
Speaker 6: it is particularly BP that has been aligned just with
Speaker 6: with a lot of things that you know, they had,
Speaker 6: they had issues getting people vaccinated, right like, with this
Speaker 6: whole kind of political social media that is representative of
Speaker 6: the modern right we see with isoations. Like some of
Speaker 6: these people, I'm not going to say they joined like
Speaker 6: looking to help, you know, maybe like make the word
Speaker 6: actually a happy place, but like they they are reasonable
Speaker 6: civil servants, right Like, Like I've talked to plenty of
Speaker 6: migrants who have gone to there and you and you'll
Speaker 6: hear from some of them in a scripted series next month,
Speaker 6: gone to their ice check into been like that was fine,
Speaker 6: that person was professional, That this seemed genuinely concerned for
Speaker 6: things I'm facing, and you know I was not unduly harassed,
Speaker 6: made to feel uncomfortable, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3: Now the border patrol agents are like particularly brutal.
Speaker 6: I have not heard that same that was a reasonable
Speaker 6: professional about border patrol agents from migrants. Yeah, border patrol
Speaker 6: also has a pretty high churn, right, as you know,
Speaker 6: so that they have a lot of people who have
Speaker 6: joined since let's say the first Trump admin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that may kind of change things because those
Speaker 2: people are joining specifically because they want to fuck with migrants.
Speaker 2: And while that's always been a thing for Border Patrol,
Speaker 2: a lot of people joined Border Patrol because it's the
Speaker 2: easiest way to become technically a federal agent. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: it can be a path to becoming a better kind
Speaker 2: of federal agent.
Speaker 6: Sure, you can do the.
Speaker 2: Career thing, which is why part of why there's so
Speaker 2: much churn, part of why BP.
Speaker 6: Just to like characterize some of the issues the organization
Speaker 6: has had, right has consistently offered waivers the academic qualifications
Speaker 6: other agencies would not offer waivers for they have a
Speaker 6: problem areas problem with sexual assault, not just of migrants,
Speaker 6: but of women in the Border Patrol. They call the
Speaker 6: women in the Border Patrol the fierce five percent, because
Speaker 6: this is an agency that has not succeeded in getting
Speaker 6: more than five percent of his agents to be women.
Speaker 6: Like it is an agency that has I guess for
Speaker 6: one of a better term radicalized, even even you know
Speaker 6: within DHS agencies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, all of the most brutal incidents of
Speaker 3: used force in like Portland in twenty twenty that came
Speaker 3: from FEDS was Border Patrol.
Speaker 2: That was Bortech.
Speaker 3: Yeah, boord Tech.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I would encourage people, if they want to get
Speaker 6: a sense of how Border Patrol sees itself, to go
Speaker 6: to the social media page that Baveno curates and has
Speaker 6: created for a while to look and again he was
Speaker 6: my understanding, like hemmed up for his social media post.
Speaker 6: In the Biden administration, He's obviously not being restrained in
Speaker 6: that way. Now, go and look at I think it's
Speaker 6: called Border Patrol Special Operations Command or DHS Special Operations Command,
Speaker 6: which includes Bortech. Go and look at their pages, right,
Speaker 6: Like these guys they see themselves in the realm of
Speaker 6: like a military branch or a paramilitary police. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: that is what they are doing in Chicago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, NBC is reporting it. The White House has approved
Speaker 3: three assignment of at least a dozen directors of ice
Speaker 3: field offices, with sources telling Fox News that the cities
Speaker 3: will include Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Philadelphia, El Paso, San Diego, Seattle, Portland,
Speaker 3: and New Orleans. This is almost half of the ICE
Speaker 3: field offices in the country. This turnover is being orchestrated
Speaker 3: by DHS Secretary Christinome and DHS Senior Advisor Corey Lewandowski,
Speaker 3: with some of the replacements being hand picked by Bevino.
Speaker 3: This is like Bevino began to shape ICE how he
Speaker 3: sees fit using his border patrol background, and these changes
Speaker 3: are reportedly motivated on differing views on tactics across agency
Speaker 3: leadership with the ICE strategy like the Tom Holmans of
Speaker 3: focusing on targeted removal of known criminals or immigrants with
Speaker 3: pre existing deputation orders, versus the border patrol tactic of
Speaker 3: doing these large sweeps and roundups around places like hom deepos, laundromats, restaurants, neighborhoods,
Speaker 3: urban centers.
Speaker 6: So Bevino has been on this for a minute, right,
Speaker 6: And I'm now realizing we need to cover his career
Speaker 6: in more depth. But like I've seen this, Oh, where
Speaker 6: did Bevino come from? Stuff? In twenty ten when he
Speaker 6: was out of at the blithe Border Patrol station I
Speaker 6: believe Blyze, California. For those not familiar, Bavino was part
Speaker 6: of a raid on bus and train stations in Las Vegas, right,
Speaker 6: like these, these broader kind of dragnets have been something
Speaker 6: that he seems to have been a characteristic of his career, right,
Speaker 6: so that would make sense for him to be the
Speaker 6: guy advocating for this now.
Speaker 3: The official statement made by DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
Speaker 3: at this point says, quote, while we have no personnel
Speaker 3: changes to announce at the time, the trom administration remains
Speaker 3: laser focused when delivering results removing violent, criminal illegal aliens
Speaker 3: from this country. And she followed up this statement with
Speaker 3: a tweet naming a whole bitch of people involved in
Speaker 3: all of these news stories, including Bavino and like praising
Speaker 3: them for their patriotism. Let's take a look at two
Speaker 3: pictures of Boveto here for his courtroom attire. Who wants
Speaker 3: to describe what Baveto is wearing here.
Speaker 6: It looks like a statue of Stalin.
Speaker 2: He looks like a guy in the SS is dressing
Speaker 2: as a guy in the SS for Halloween.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's very Stalin. I think it's very German.
Speaker 2: Naturally, that is an ssque looking coat. I'm sorry, it's intense.
Speaker 3: He has the little is little stars on his collar
Speaker 3: and yeah, this this like boxy wool trench coat. It's
Speaker 3: very with the like shaved sides of his head, it's
Speaker 3: very clear what he is trying to evoke. This is
Speaker 3: a little bit koy, but like, c come on, dude,
Speaker 3: and to follow this up like DHS is really is
Speaker 3: really pushing Vino now is like the face of this
Speaker 3: this mass deportation push and they're making fucking like fash
Speaker 3: wave pipe fash wave hype edit reels.
Speaker 6: Of show it.
Speaker 3: Gods, it's Maso and I will I'll play the whole thing,
Speaker 3: but really it's the first two seconds that demonstrate what's
Speaker 3: what's going on here.
Speaker 6: This will be linked in the notes. I didn't realize
Speaker 6: it was Hampster Dance Coldplay on the soundtrack, Like I
Speaker 6: had never listened to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a choice.
Speaker 3: We're not gonna play much of that audio, garretson, We're
Speaker 3: gonna play we are not playing thirty seconds of copyrighted audio,
Speaker 3: but just the first literally the first two seconds of
Speaker 3: him doing what is there very clearly as see Kyle,
Speaker 3: and then transferring it into like military hand signals, but
Speaker 3: like come on, dude, and then throughout through this the
Speaker 3: rest of the little fash wave edit. It's like pictures
Speaker 3: of him and his like uh, you know, tactical gear,
Speaker 3: and then pictures of him in what you I would
Speaker 3: describe as an SS inspired military dress uniform with the
Speaker 3: little you know, the stars, the trench code. It's like
Speaker 3: very clear what he's doing. The DHS Twitter account has
Speaker 3: been doing these little cute Nazi posts for a long time.
Speaker 3: Now they know what they're doing. It's yeah, but specifically
Speaker 3: this now being like the the new kind of face
Speaker 3: of this of this whole operation, both by playing a
Speaker 3: hand in restructuring the leadership of ICE and deploying to
Speaker 3: the forefront of places like Chicago as he leads and
Speaker 3: orchestrates the mass deportation operation like Operation Midway Blitz like
Speaker 3: blitz really do blitz yet interesting, interesting, fucking believable that
Speaker 3: the fact that this guy was not canned by any
Speaker 3: previous Democrat administration, like like like abolishing ICE is is
Speaker 3: obviously like not enough here, because as we're talking about
Speaker 3: the way that like border patrols actually been the ones
Speaker 3: leading the most brutal of these raids, I think like
Speaker 3: there is a specific focus on like ICE because that's
Speaker 3: like a safer target. I get like it feels like,
Speaker 3: because people know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: All of dhs we need to get rid of.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the fact that this guy wasn't fired is going
Speaker 5: to be looked back upon in the same way that
Speaker 5: like Allende promoting Pinochet is looked back on.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, yeah, it's it's yeah, what how else do
Speaker 2: you describe it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, if there was going to be a free country,
Speaker 5: all of this shit, all of the dhstationcies, all of
Speaker 5: this needs to cease to exist as a minimum, and
Speaker 5: these people need to be like hauled in front of
Speaker 5: a nubberd tribunal and that's that's the minimum viable. There
Speaker 5: might be a democracy after that.
Speaker 2: We need so many Neurembergs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, And like it's not I don't want to
Speaker 6: burn a gloat about this. It's not hard to have
Speaker 6: seen this coming. We have talked about this four years, right, Like, yeah,
Speaker 6: this began in the nineteen nineties with Operation Gatekeeper, Operation
Speaker 6: Hold the Line. We've documented this extensively. We've documented the
Speaker 6: fact that under the Biden administration there was virtually no oversight,
Speaker 6: right that they were able to detain people outdoors without food, water,
Speaker 6: or shelter and deny that those people were detained. This
Speaker 6: is all stuff that we've covered. If it wasn't in
Speaker 6: your news diet, then you should question the news sources
Speaker 6: that you were using. But like, it was very easy
Speaker 6: to see this coming, and as Mia said, very little
Speaker 6: was done to prevent it during the last four years.
Speaker 2: Yep. And somewhat more amusing news during the ongoing trial
Speaker 2: over the different federal agents deployed to Portland and the
Speaker 2: necessity of that federal deployment and potentially the mobilization of
Speaker 2: National Guard troops in Oregon being sent to Portland, which
Speaker 2: is still being fought over in the courts. Portland police
Speaker 2: were brought up on the stand and testified that during
Speaker 2: one night out at Ice, federal officers gassed Portland police
Speaker 2: and fired pepper balls at one officer. And when Portland
Speaker 2: police confronted federal not ice, sorry, but these are these
Speaker 2: are federal FPS agents outside of the Ice building.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And when Portland police confronted the FPS agents afterwards, they
Speaker 2: responded help or get out of the way.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And this is simply there's no actually, there's no there's
Speaker 2: no rules of engagement, right, rules of engagement for you know,
Speaker 2: soldiers in the like are supposed to be stuff like,
Speaker 2: you don't fire until a certain standard of danger exists, Right,
Speaker 2: you don't. There are rules at which point you were
Speaker 2: allowed to engage with which kinds of weapons? Right Your
Speaker 2: ROI may say one thing about using a night stick
Speaker 2: or mace, and it will say something else about using
Speaker 2: tear gas or whatever. There's no actual RO for these guys.
Speaker 2: They're allowed to just kind of fire whenever they want,
Speaker 2: and they're not well trained. They're not very good at
Speaker 2: what they do. Most of them have not actually had
Speaker 2: the kind of training I've been supposed to have with
Speaker 2: these weapons systems they're using, and they're just kind of
Speaker 2: firing willy and illy, which is why they've been hitting
Speaker 2: cops repeatedly.
Speaker 6: Most FS agents are contractors, they're not full time now
Speaker 6: enforcement officers.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: Talking of things that it would have been easy to
Speaker 6: see coming, I want to talk about ICE's facial recognition app.
Speaker 6: So I've seen a piece in four four Media. Four
Speaker 6: and four media is the most annoying outlet to read
Speaker 6: pieces in because they will send you seventeen emails a day.
Speaker 6: Four A for media suggests that ICE is claiming a
Speaker 6: facial recognition match in its app mobile forti fi is
Speaker 6: a definitive determination of somebody's status. They're quoting here the
Speaker 6: ranking member of the Householme Land Security Committee, Benny G. Thompson,
Speaker 6: as saying, quote mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in
Speaker 6: the hands of ICE, and it puts to American citizens
Speaker 6: a risk of detention and even deportation. He also said
Speaker 6: that quote ICE officials have told us that an apparent
Speaker 6: biometric match by mobile fortifier is a definitive determination of
Speaker 6: a person's status, and that an ICE officer may ignore
Speaker 6: evidence of American citizenship, including a birth certificate, if the
Speaker 6: app says the person is an alien. ICE using a
Speaker 6: mobile biometrics app in this way, in ways its developers
Speaker 6: at CVP never intended or tested, is a frightening, repugnant,
Speaker 6: and unconstitutional attack on Americans rights and freedoms. Thompson is
Speaker 6: misguided if he thinks that like this is new, it
Speaker 6: is new, and that's that its impacted US citizens. Yes,
Speaker 6: this article, for reasons I cannot explain, does not mention
Speaker 6: in CBP one right, and as is often the case
Speaker 6: some immigration reporting that we see now, it's completely lacking
Speaker 6: in context. The context here is at CBP one is
Speaker 6: an app developed in the first Trump administration. It's often
Speaker 6: referred to as a Biden app because the definitive political
Speaker 6: question of our time is who was present in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: There's just no way to know.
Speaker 2: It's impossible to say you can't do data on anything
Speaker 2: happening that far back.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I have a new one which is more recent,
Speaker 6: which we're going to talk about next.
Speaker 3: Groc is real.
Speaker 6: But CBP one was effectively determinative for migrants, right. We've
Speaker 6: covered this in great detail here. There were some public
Speaker 6: records about CBP one that I've looked at extensively. There's
Speaker 6: sort of too long didn't READI version is the app
Speaker 6: did not work well on Android phones, especially previous generation
Speaker 6: Android phones, which are very common among people coming from
Speaker 6: the Global South. The face liveness scan. So what the
Speaker 6: facial liveness scan does is that let's say Robert is
Speaker 6: coming to the US, right, they wanted to check that
Speaker 6: the phone is being held by Robert, that it's not
Speaker 6: been held someone's not holding up a photograph of Robert
Speaker 6: in front of the camera, right, So you sort of
Speaker 6: move it around. Then it determines that it's a real
Speaker 6: three D face, not a photograph. It really struggled with
Speaker 6: black faces. I've seen this firsthand.
Speaker 2: I've all this stuff does. It's the same thing with
Speaker 2: like how there have been like motion activated fossets and
Speaker 2: stuff that wouldn't recognize dark skin.
Speaker 6: It's a data set that they put in right to understand. Yeah,
Speaker 6: the results of those scans were determinative for migrants, right.
Speaker 6: It could determine their ability to make an asylum appointment
Speaker 6: and therefore to enter the US and make a claim
Speaker 6: for asylum. This caused people to remain in various very
Speaker 6: dangerous situations. It has probably led to people dying. It's
Speaker 6: another example of why we have to pay attention to
Speaker 6: the border if we want to know what's come down
Speaker 6: the pipe domestically, and talking of shit that is coming
Speaker 6: down the pipe from the border domestically. I want to
Speaker 6: talk about public lands again because Utah Senator Mike Lee
Speaker 6: is back on his bullshit. This time he has another bill.
Speaker 6: People will remember that Mike Lee tried to insert in
Speaker 6: the budget reconciliation bill a massive sell off of public lands. Right,
Speaker 6: And what Lee does is he uses whatever terminology he
Speaker 6: thinks will make people support this crusade he has against
Speaker 6: land zone by the public for if we want to
Speaker 6: access In the last time, he tried to wrap it
Speaker 6: up a language about affordable housing. If you read the bill,
Speaker 6: you would have seen that there wasn't going to result
Speaker 6: in any affordable housing. This time he's wrapping it up
Speaker 6: in the language of border security. And this is where
Speaker 6: I'm where We're going to return to the defining political
Speaker 6: question of our time. Who is President? Because Lee, who
Speaker 6: introduced the bell in October of twenty twenty five, said,
Speaker 6: and I quote, Biden's open border chaos is destroying a
Speaker 6: Marria Wicks, Crown Jewels. Families who want to enjoy a
Speaker 6: safe hike or camp out are instead finding trash piles,
Speaker 6: burn landscapes, and trails closed because rangers are stuck clearing
Speaker 6: up the fallout. Cartails are exploiting the disorder, using these
Speaker 6: lands as cover for their operation. This bill gifts land
Speaker 6: managers and border agents the tools to restore order and
Speaker 6: protect these places for the people they were meant to serve.
Speaker 6: Diligent observers will notice that Biden is no longer the
Speaker 6: president of the United States, and further, diligent observers will
Speaker 6: notice that many people currently working for the federal government
Speaker 6: on public lands are being laid off or furloughed due
Speaker 6: to the government shutdown. What Lee's bill would do is
Speaker 6: allow dhs to identify illegal roads in public land areas
Speaker 6: and then to upgrade them to navigable roads. This is
Speaker 6: important because the nineteen sixty four Wilderness Act doesn't allow
Speaker 6: motorized access to wilderness areas, and what Lee is proposing
Speaker 6: is that they would identify these illegal roads within one
Speaker 6: hundred mile zone. He is proposing a blanket change to
Speaker 6: the nineteen sixty four Wildness Act to allow the construction
Speaker 6: of roads, which would completely change the nature of wilderness
Speaker 6: in the United States, and sometimes a slip reslow argument
Speaker 6: can also be a fallacy, but in this case, building
Speaker 6: roads into the wilderness will permanently change the nature of
Speaker 6: their wilderness and will lead to other losses of protection
Speaker 6: on public land. Lee makes the argument that it's important
Speaker 6: for search and rescue and for border access. There is
Speaker 6: already mechanized access for search and rescue. They give search
Speaker 6: and rescue helicopters, for instance, can access wilderness areas that
Speaker 6: they have agreements in place with land management agencies which
Speaker 6: allow them to do this already. When there is a
Speaker 6: risk to human life. The bill also talks about removing
Speaker 6: invasive species and reducing fire risk by removing fire fuels
Speaker 6: down by the border. Again, I'm guessing what this would
Speaker 6: do would be This would I mean if you fire
Speaker 6: fuels like look at the southern border near where I live, right,
Speaker 6: Like think of the California sage brush chaparral. Like, clearing
Speaker 6: fire fuels there would completely change that landscape forever. It
Speaker 6: would remove much of the value that this wilderness has
Speaker 6: not as untouched. Right, people have lived in this area
Speaker 6: for tenths of thousands of years, and that they have
Speaker 6: touched that nature, and they have lived alongside it and
Speaker 6: worked with it. But it is an area that is
Speaker 6: significantly less damaged than most of the United States. Right.
Speaker 6: The bill would also inventory fires and damage to wilderness
Speaker 6: caused by migrants. I guess this is just an attempt
Speaker 6: to say another bad thing about migrants. It also prohibits
Speaker 6: any housing of migrants on federal lands unless it is
Speaker 6: in a prison. It's Lee taking this border hawk stuff
Speaker 6: and strapping it onto this crusade that he has been
Speaker 6: on for a long time to deprive people in the
Speaker 6: United States and people visiting the United States have access
Speaker 6: to their public lands and eventually to sell those lands
Speaker 6: off to the highest bidder. He introduced it on October second.
Speaker 6: It's in the committee stage right now. This probably is
Speaker 6: one of the things that folks could call a representative
Speaker 6: about and suggest it's a very bad idea. Talking to
Speaker 6: bad ideas. Ma daughter has announced the formation of an
Speaker 6: international brigade to defend his incredibly corupt regime in Venezuela.
Speaker 6: I say this is someone who has been to Venezuela
Speaker 6: and written a PhD about the Spanish Civil War. This
Speaker 6: is a very bad idea. Don't do this.
Speaker 4: This is.
Speaker 6: Maduro does not need your help. Fuck that guy talking
Speaker 6: of things that don't need your help. Here are some adverts.
Speaker 3: I can't believe you're throwing the People's Republic of Venezuela
Speaker 3: under the bus like that as they're facing down war
Speaker 3: with the United States of America.
Speaker 6: Right now standing in the breach against imperialism. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: read a lot about it.
Speaker 3: What happened is hashtag solidarity. Jane.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I read about it on the Gray Zone
Speaker 6: and I'm changing my opinions. Having spent more time than
Speaker 6: I'm sure half the staff of the Gray Zone in Venezuela.
Speaker 5: Speaking of Spooky. The ship Trump's getting is part of
Speaker 5: pair of negotiations Woo.
Speaker 3: Jazz Jazz Party, Jazz.
Speaker 4: Jazz bar.
Speaker 5: All right, So, as we talked about last week, Trump
Speaker 5: has been in East Asia to do a bunch of
Speaker 5: meetings for conversations already happening. And this is where terrific
Speaker 5: negotiations have been being handled. This has been being held
Speaker 5: in South Korea. South Korean President Lee Jmjung presented Trump
Speaker 5: with South Korea's highest honor and also gave him a
Speaker 5: giant golden crown. Have you all seen the giant golden crowd?
Speaker 5: It's that easy, folks.
Speaker 3: All you gotta do, It's all you gotta do is
Speaker 3: just these little stupid things, and then he loves you,
Speaker 3: giant gilded crowd.
Speaker 6: I haven't seen the crown. I'm gonna look at the crown.
Speaker 5: Look up the crowd. I am beseeching you all yet.
Speaker 5: I however big you think this crown is? It is
Speaker 5: way larger than that it is?
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, no, it's Jesus wow. It's like the
Speaker 6: sizeaball fire hydran. Yeah. Maybe they directly, they directly took
Speaker 6: the one that they took from Prince Andrew for being
Speaker 6: a nonce and melted it down.
Speaker 3: It's really something now.
Speaker 5: Now, Lee Jamiung is a name you might recognize because
Speaker 5: he's the guy who was famous for that video of
Speaker 5: climbing over the fence to stop the coup last year.
Speaker 5: And one year later he's giving Trump what I think
Speaker 5: might be the largest crown I have ever seen. Now,
Speaker 5: this crown is being described as quote a gilded replica.
Speaker 5: So I don't know how much of this is actually gold.
Speaker 5: I suspect it's gold paint or whatever. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I do not have confirmation on it. But you know,
Speaker 3: great great things happening.
Speaker 5: In in sort of like a revolutionary anti coup movement,
Speaker 5: which has ended giving Trump the giant golden crown. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and apparently and they got like a kind of favorable,
Speaker 5: sort of okay ish kind of trade deal out of
Speaker 5: out of out of giving the President of the United
Speaker 5: States giant golden crown. So, in terms of tariff news,
Speaker 5: while in China, Trump had his long awaited beating lucijian.
Speaker 3: Ping, they struck a deal.
Speaker 5: Trump decreased the quote unquote it's an all tariffs to
Speaker 5: ten percent, which leaves the tariff right for all Chinese
Speaker 5: goods at forty seven percent, down from its previous fifty
Speaker 5: seven percent. China has agreed to not do Rare Earth's
Speaker 5: mineral restrictions that we talked about last week, and has
Speaker 5: also pledged by US soybeans. Again, it's deeply unclear how
Speaker 5: much of this is actually going to happen. I think
Speaker 5: my guess is that they probably won't do the harshest
Speaker 5: of the mineral restrictions, but I will believe the soybean
Speaker 5: purchases when I see it, and I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 5: There's also been some interesting use out of the Senate
Speaker 5: where there's been a couple of symbolic votes against some
Speaker 5: sets of tariffs. The Senate voted fifty to forty six
Speaker 5: to end the state of emergency that supposedly allows Trump
Speaker 5: to do the Canada tariffs, and also voted to block
Speaker 5: tariffs against Brazil. The four people who voted against both
Speaker 5: of these who voted with the Democrats are Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 5: Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Lisa Morowski. Which it kind
Speaker 5: of makes sense because Collins and Morowski are supposed to
Speaker 5: lead the two moderates. Rand Paul is like just hates tariffs. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's a free trade hardliner.
Speaker 3: Who.
Speaker 5: Whatever I talk about this, I will say he has
Speaker 5: had as much as all of this is his fault.
Speaker 5: He has had one great light, ever, which is I
Speaker 5: have a trade deficit with my grocery store.
Speaker 3: Actually really good. Is he like an Austrian like economists,
Speaker 3: like libertarian type, like like, I know he's like a
Speaker 3: libertarian guy. I'm just trying to figure out what specific flavor.
Speaker 5: He's like an he's like one of the Austrian like
Speaker 5: gold standards, but also like those people are still free
Speaker 5: trade people, like really hardline.
Speaker 3: Last time I heard Charlie Kirk talk in person, he
Speaker 3: was debating like five Austrian economists the most annoying people.
Speaker 2: Mean, like, honestly, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. That
Speaker 2: sounds like, yeah, that sounds like why would you agree
Speaker 2: to do that, especially if you're already rich. I don't
Speaker 2: understand that. I don't understand it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's just a work notting though that despite these votes,
Speaker 5: none of this is going to take effect because the
Speaker 5: House right now effectively does not exist as a legislative body. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it doesn't exist in general because they keep not calling
Speaker 5: sessions because every time they try to call a session,
Speaker 5: the Democrats in the one political theater thing that like
Speaker 5: is kind of a good idea, but they're so bad
Speaker 5: at it. They keep being like, you have to release
Speaker 5: the Epstein files, and the Republicans keep being like, no,
Speaker 5: so we kind of don't have a House of Representatives.
Speaker 2: I keep thinking about that one scene from Mars Attacks
Speaker 2: with the presidents, like, you've still got two out of
Speaker 2: three branches a government, and that ain't bad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, we have.
Speaker 3: We basically have one branch of government. We have one
Speaker 3: branch of Yeah, we have one branch of governments, and.
Speaker 2: Like, but that doesn't work as a Mars Attacks Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But and also it's worth noting the House voted to
Speaker 5: not allow any tariff legislation until March twenty twenty six,
Speaker 5: a thing that it could apparently do. It is totally normal.
Speaker 2: Sure, Oh well, yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know, so speak of things are totally normal.
Speaker 5: We're gonna close this with Trump getting mad at Canada
Speaker 5: because he saw an ad they were running.
Speaker 3: Yeah, series that was God, it was.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 5: It was a bunch of clips of Ronald Reagan being like,
Speaker 5: Tariff's bad because Reagan. Reagan's domestic protectionism took the form
Speaker 5: of currency to evaluations and not tariffs, et.
Speaker 3: Cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 5: But like, yeah, so and and and Trump saw this
Speaker 5: lost his mind, said that it was Ai. There's a
Speaker 5: whole saga here about him claiming that it was like
Speaker 5: also unauthorized usage of footage, which is a fiasco. And
Speaker 5: then also all of the terror negotiations that have been
Speaker 5: happening to the US and Canada have been called off
Speaker 5: and he just put another ten percent terriff on them
Speaker 5: because he was.
Speaker 3: Mad about it.
Speaker 5: Which yeah, totally, you know, I I totally absolutely a
Speaker 5: thing that like an elected head of government does, and
Speaker 5: not a a guy who just received a massive golden crown.
Speaker 3: Ah Garo said, that's not a blue Jay's hat. But
Speaker 3: you know this is a blue Jay's hat. Mia, How
Speaker 3: fucking dare you try to she'splain my own, my own country, myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Toronto's team.
Speaker 6: Garrison's wearing a hat for those who are not working
Speaker 6: for cool as any media.
Speaker 3: It's the Toronto Blue Jays. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Toronto blue was the Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but there's not a j on it.
Speaker 3: Why, well, no, it just has the maple leaf.
Speaker 6: But it's only three points. It's not a not a
Speaker 6: traditional maple leaf.
Speaker 3: James, are you gonna Are you gonna she explain my
Speaker 3: own country to.
Speaker 6: Me, Garrison when it comes to birds and leaves.
Speaker 5: I am going to canada'splain to you it rocks. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but that's fun. That's just how tariff policy is set. Now,
Speaker 5: is you pissed off the king and he decided to
Speaker 5: put a teriff?
Speaker 3: This is.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't really know how to do
Speaker 5: analysis of the fact that we just have a child
Speaker 5: king setting terriff. Polsy, It's it's great.
Speaker 3: Look quick fact jacket. Do you read can you read this? Oh?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: It does say read this genuine m LB merchandise. Okay,
Speaker 3: wow wow wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They would ever put that in. Fake MLB merchandise wouldn't allowed.
Speaker 6: I've never seen any genuine MLB merchandise in markets in
Speaker 6: a Rocks for example.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, I'm the owner of a proud Fixing GM
Speaker 2: shirt that I bought in a market in there.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, all right, everybody, Okay. I think
Speaker 3: it's politically important for the Blue Jays to win the
Speaker 3: World series and contribute to the American Century of Humiliation.
Speaker 2: James, I still have my my Tumberland boots that I
Speaker 2: bought in Syria.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have a five dot one dot one jacket.
Speaker 6: Oh and I've got it.
Speaker 2: I got a greater Adotis track suit when I was
Speaker 2: in Istanbul.
Speaker 3: Do you want to do this fed election right now?
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's do it now. Let's talk about talking of
Speaker 6: things which are not as they seem. California Attorney General,
Speaker 6: look at that Charason. That is why they pay me
Speaker 6: the medium bugs. California Attorney General Rob Bonter.
Speaker 2: Is warning such a fake guess name. I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Garrison is wearing that hat for those not watching
Speaker 6: this podcast on top of the head in the fashion
Speaker 6: of affairs, California Attorney General Rob Bonte is wannering about
Speaker 6: election interference by the federal government. The federal government has
Speaker 6: sent monitors to California to a number of different counties
Speaker 6: in California in order to monitor the elections that are
Speaker 6: happening here on the fourth of November. To be clear,
Speaker 6: federal monitoring is not uncommon. The Biden administration did it
Speaker 6: in more than eighty places in twenty twenty four. For example,
Speaker 6: but BoNT seems convinced this monitoring is going to lead
Speaker 6: to election denial, elector interference. Here's Gavin Newsom talking on
Speaker 6: X about this.
Speaker 4: So today the Trump administration announced they're sending election monitors
Speaker 4: to five specific counties here in the state of California.
Speaker 4: They have no business doing that, they have no basis
Speaker 4: to do that. In fact, we have a state wide
Speaker 4: election for a statewide constitution. This is about voter intimidation.
Speaker 4: This is about voter suppression, period, full stop. And it's
Speaker 4: a pattern, isn't it. It's consistent with what they've done
Speaker 4: with the federalization of the National Guard and the intimidation
Speaker 4: of the chill that that's created. They'll do that right
Speaker 4: around election day as well. Same thing with ice and
Speaker 4: Border patrol. Mass men watch that space showing up in
Speaker 4: and around polling booths and voting places. But this is
Speaker 4: a bridge too far, and I hope people understand it's
Speaker 4: a bridge that they're trying to build a scaffolding for
Speaker 4: all across this country and next Novembers election. They do
Speaker 4: not believe in fair and free elections. Our republic, our
Speaker 4: democracy is on the line.
Speaker 6: We all need to wake up I'm actually a lot
Speaker 6: more concerned with the stuff around, and I think he's
Speaker 6: probably right that we will see like more federal agents
Speaker 6: around polling places in election time. What California was doing
Speaker 6: in response is assigning monitors to monitor the federal monitors,
Speaker 6: which will be interesting and it seems unusual, right for
Speaker 6: the federal monitors be monitoring. Thinks that one of the
Speaker 6: things that's on the ballot this year is Prop fifty right,
Speaker 6: which would redistrict California. It's jerry mandering, so gerry mandering
Speaker 6: proposition to.
Speaker 2: It's revenge gerrymandering character Jerry. The bill is specifically we
Speaker 2: not we're going to do this, but we're going to
Speaker 2: do this if there's redistricting in Texas.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's it's yes, it's an attempt to rectify
Speaker 6: the very obvious jule gerrymandering Texas.
Speaker 2: It's kind of mad mutually asserted destruction is applied to
Speaker 2: Jerry Man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Neither of these things are great. That's
Speaker 6: here we are. I think that's what I had on
Speaker 6: this essentially cool yep. I think that that's uh.
Speaker 2: Eisode, that's where we're at, all, right, everybody.
Speaker 6: Well until.
Speaker 3: Breaking breaking autism news God Texas is suing Thailand all
Speaker 3: specifically a pharmacistic company Johnston Johnson for marketing tile and
Speaker 3: all the pregnant women and failing to disclose. But a
Speaker 3: turny General Can Paxton calls quote a significantly increased risk
Speaker 3: of autism and other disorders unquote.
Speaker 6: They don't market it to pregnant women like geremaly.
Speaker 2: It says like if I'm not mistaken, it says on
Speaker 2: the bottles, don't take if your nurse pregnant.
Speaker 6: We covered this in a previous episode. But like geermity,
Speaker 6: drugs are not very few drugs are marketed to pregnant people, right,
Speaker 6: be the women or otherwise.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, the only thing you're supposed to take is
Speaker 2: a pregnant woman is cocaine, and you got to make
Speaker 2: sure it's pure.
Speaker 3: Non binary people thought you can take anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you're If you're not pregnant, it's
Speaker 2: okay to do whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: If you are pregnant, no, other women, it's okay, go.
Speaker 2: Right hell yeah yeah sure, yes, wait, No, I don't
Speaker 2: think that that's.
Speaker 3: How it works.
Speaker 6: Transmasting double yeah yeah yeah true.
Speaker 2: I think if you have a fetus gest stating in
Speaker 2: you You're only supposed to do cocaine.
Speaker 3: Definitely the least autistic for people non binary people. Yeah, definitely, definitely,
Speaker 3: they can just take whatever or do or do take whatever.
Speaker 6: Yeah, too many drugs like like they'll they'll say that
Speaker 6: you should consult with it with your doctor.
Speaker 3: Consulted doctor.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and none of them are risk free. But it's
Speaker 6: it's it's a cost benefit analysis.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: We covered this the autism and Thailand all like correlation
Speaker 3: versus causation based on that one sweeter se this is
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how Johnston Johnson argues this in
Speaker 3: court and if that will have effects across, you know,
Speaker 3: the rest of the Trump administration's anti Thailand all push,
Speaker 3: if they're able to successfully defend their product against Ken Paxton,
Speaker 3: so critical support to Thailand.
Speaker 2: All I guess welcome to the resistance Big Pharma Jesus.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if people listen to more and that we can
Speaker 6: get back and find out previous episode.
Speaker 2: All right, everybody, until next time, try not to be
Speaker 2: on a fishing boat anywhere south of the US southern border.
Speaker 2: It's not safe right now.
Speaker 3: Good luck trick or treating, Happy Halloween, Yeah, goove trick or.
Speaker 2: Treating it's not safe right now.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, don't be trick or treating in a boat.
Speaker 3: This year, we've reported the news that sucks.
