On today's episode, we discuss the anti Ice protesters sentenced to decades in prison , the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, the New York City primaries , and the most recent Supreme Court rulings. Hi, hello, welcome back to Evenmore News, the first and only news podcast . My name's Katie Stull . Holy cow, hi, Katie. That's surely there should be more podcasts than one, but there aren't. I'm Cody Johnston. How are you today? Good, good. We're all very good because have an outstanding guest, a return guest , comedian , author , cohost of the Beckdell Cast and producer of the We The Unhoused Podcast. It's Jamie Loftis Hello . Thanks so much for having me . Great to be back talking about the news. Gonna get that head of serotonin . Talking about the news . Yeah to get those endorphins in buzzing . Yeah, I think we all could use a little happy conversation so we',re glad to have you here to talk about the news. And before anybody freaks out what? I'm already freaking out calm down . I can't. What's happening? Because Jonathan's also here. Oh, thank God. Hi Honestly, thank God. Yeah. Jonathan's got a day off coming up and we're already like sweating . Did you all want good news for today though? I overheard that while I was sitting here a minute ago that you wanted uplifting good happy news. Yeah. Yeah. And I think we are gonna provide that. I've got to say I've heard the first good thing in a while this morning, which is that minion the new minions movies are getting really good reviews . A high for the franchise, they're saying, a high for the franchise. Not just the minions, but the despicable me verse. Real all things. Okay, Jonathan, you're also watching the train. Jonathan Minions reviews . Yes. Ah for the entire franchise and that it's the closest a minions film has come to being. Oh touristic . So is this an Oscar contender? Let's hope so. I mean, despicable Me too was nominated for an Oscar. Was it really? Yeah, it was Despicable Me's are like movies with stories and what have you. The minions movies are not. The minions movies thus far have been a series of sketches of banana Ukulakatiki, that kind of Marx brothers. There are contemporary Marx brothers. There's a new minion called Dick in this one. I'm thrilled. I can't wait. I am feeling the vibes from this good news. Yeah, I'm here to appreciate it on my sails. Yeah. No, no god',t don wor ry. The log line for it is like it's like they're doing singing in the rain, is that correct? And George Lucas has a cameo . Oh, yeah. He's a fan. As a self? He's like not as a minion. It's a period piece in the nineteen twenties. It sounds like I'm being paid to say this , but I just am very excited to see it. The minions are trying to make a monster movie amid the transition from silent film to sound , I believe. I think they're doing singing in the right sound . Yeah. Okay, well this sounds really interesting actually. I hope it's like seventy three minutes. Like, let's do this. Oh, I would love for it to be blissfully short. The New Mini's is exactly ninety minutes . I can do that. Okay. One hour. One hour thirty . And you know they have long credits. It's gonna be oh yeah in eighty. When it's Internet, you feel good july first , july first. Oh, soon. A Wednesday release for the long weekend. So on . Well, I know what? Both of you guys will be doing that week. It's true . So I hate to put a damper on this very fun good vibe conversation , but we do some news to get to. There's a lot today, but we're gonna lead off with something that I personally feel is not getting enough attention. The sentencing that came down this week for the anti Ice protesters that have been sentenced to extraordinary charges of terrorism. So Jonathan, why don't you set this up for us? Yeah , so last july fourth, a group of people went to protest outside an immigration detention center in Alvarado, Texas at that event , and there's some disputes as to what exactly happened, but for what we know, a police officer pointed his gun at an unarmed protester and a U. S. Marine Reservist named Benjamin Song who goes by champagne, who was part of it fired their own weapon at the officer hitting him in the shoulder. That person got arrested and that person was just sentenced to one hundred in prison . And we can debate the merits of that if the shooting was warranted. That's like one entire issue part of it. And then the other issue is that a group of people who were also there and did things ranging from setting off fireworks to slashing tires, to not even being there and distributing left wing zines also sentenced for thirty years, fifty years , seventy years , and they were able to do this because the administration considers Antifa to be a terrorist organization. So they were able to charge and trial these people as part of a violent conspiracy linked to this shooting this one shooting , even though they had nothing to do with it. And again, one person wasn't even there. Thirty to seventy years is like really, really disgusting . I totally agree that I've been kind of shocked at how little has been discussed, even in leftist circles. Like there is a lot going on, but it is truly stunning if you've ever been involved in protest, work organizing, at any level, this should be absolutely terrifying because it's like we've arrived at the level of thought crimes essentially, where there this was not an action done. It was just ideas. It was anarchist zines. How many people do we know that just make and distribute anarchist zines? Like it's it's been such an important part of like the entire history resistance, not just modern either, you know? Eventually yeah or this is this is inherently American , you know? I've really gotten a lot of out and would encourage everyone to check out Lex McMennan's reporting on this specifically. Like they've done really, really great work around tracing that not just this case, but yeah, the history of like, we've called them zines for the last however long, but it is just leftist ideas and just ideas distributed by people to people that is sort of on trial here and not being talked about. And it feels so in conversation with how heavily censored the internet is. The DOJ, by the way, called them insurrectionary materials. We've covered this for years of all these little bills throughout the nation being introduced to do exactly what this is. Slowly categorize anything like left wing as being terrorism , making sure that there are situations where like if you attend a protest or if you organize a protest where something goes wrong, then you're held accountable for whatever happens there and just sort of tying anybody to at these protests and labeling them anybody there terrorists so that they can kind of go after whoever and stop or whomever and stop them from being interested in going to these events at all. It's just I mean, obviously this is a material fizz like they're the law against these people, but also there's the chilling effect that they're going for is one hundred to stop protesting is what they want to do. And you know, champagne did fire a weapon at a police officer. I will be honest when I first heard of this story, I thought that they had killed them, but they didn't. They did fire their weapon and that can be its own conversation. And I believe even they put out a statement clarifying that , you know, this is a marine reservist and they were made it clear that this had nothing to do with the other people that were in attendance of this protest. So there's that . Even in the that, this person was not murdered and champagne was sentenced to one hundred years , a hundred . That is extraordinary . But let's just put that one sentencing aside. The rest of these people, some of them didn't even know each other. This isn't some organized network of terrorists. These were people protesting injustice . And as was established already, the person that was distributing zines wasn't even there . And you're right, it is intended to have a chilling effect on all of us. And I'm not gonna sit here and say that you should be afraid , but maybe you should. I mean I don't want to contribute to the chilling effect. It's very important that we are able to use our voices and continue to use our voices . But I don't know how we can process this news without feeling afraid, each and every one of us, even those of us sitting here not even at a protest, sitting here talking about it . It is absolutely terrifying. Yeah, that's the intent and they obviously can't do this to everybody, right? It helps that they're able to say, well, with this is connected to this violent event , you know, put aside even the argument of like, well, I saw this cop going to shoot someone and I was trying to save a lot. Like right, put all that aside. They can say, Oh, we're tying this to this violent act and therefore these are all violent terrorists. They can't do it to everybody, but of course the chilling effect is there. They want you to be afraid to protest because they want, you know, even suburban moms who might go out to a No Kings event to think in the back of their mind s the wrong place at the wrong time and I'm going to jail for fifty years for just being there . That's what they want. I mean, that's what Stephen Miller has been gloating about is happy about this week. Yeah, that' ands what they descri be it too. They're trying to, you know, label anybody at these places or like you said like, well setting off fireworks or you know, some graffiti is in the same category to them as like violent terrorism . Roshida Talib is actually mentioning it. There are people sort of bringing this up and calling this sense a travesty and, obviously the NSPM seven, which we've mentioned before on this show , is involved is related to it. And then Stephen Miller claims that the member of Congress is defending Antifa terrorists who tried to massacre state and federal law enforcement. I don't think that's what happened . That's not a series of events. That's literally just not what happened. It was like, we're going to set off fireworks to do noise as solidarity with the people in there. Try to massacre state and federal law enforcement. That's absurd. And police regularly arrest people who do stuff like that at protests and then they get released the next morning like right this is like a whole thing thirty years It really does feel like it in the most terrifying life destroying ways, they're trying to make an example of protesters like you're saying, Jonathan to scare people . Because I think back to you know, five or six years ago at the original The First Wave of George Floyd protests and Brianna Taylor protests, I mean I got arrested. Everyone I knew got arrested at these protests and they were terrifying but there, was that sort of momentum and it feels like, you know, half a decade later, this is at least an attempt to put a nail in the coffin of the organizing that that period, I think was so effective in building. Not to say that it wasn't happening before, but I mean, how many people started to organize and coalition build around that time? And many continued, I mean, it's reading specifically about the Sotos. I mean, they were members of the Emma Goldman book. They don't , you know, anecdotally sound like extremely fucking cool people. They had they were part of the Emma Goldman Book Club. You know, when the FBI raided their home, they found boxes of zines and poetry . Like these are , I think it is a very chilling moment of like these are people that we could so easily know and be in community with and doing, you know, stuff that does not , to my mind, feel particularly radical. Like it's effective and it's really good work, but it's not what I associate with like radical political acts. They have an ACAB flag. I have an ACAB flag. You know, it's just it feels like they're being made an example of the way that so many people tend to be during moments like this. Two things I want to say about that. One, one of the judges said that's what they were doing. Judge Reed O'Connor, who many people have speculated is trying to try out for a spot on the Supreme Court. Yeah , good luck buddy. All right . And Judge O'Connor said that he's doing the maximum sentences to the Prairie Land defendants because quote, the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology . I mean, even the whole like idea of, I mean, this has been going on forever too, but it's really egregious being like, we are anti Antifa. And you're like, okay, let's tease that out . That makes you a double negative, that makes you the fascist , which they don't really care about being libeled as anymore. But yeah, I mean and just seeing like the through lines of how long anti fascism is presented as a profoundly organized movement and that like it's being presented like all of these people did know each other and there's all this whatever the right wing loves a big conspiratorial plan that doesn't actually exist . Yeah, all these people are actually getting together and talking about how , you know, all these like yeah, like you say suburban moms getting together like yeah, we're going to take down the state. Wish they would, but that's not really but that's not what's going on. And that's and that's what they want to they want to that's I mean this we're going to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology to them . It's anything . It's not just like vague antifa, it's also like any environmentalist protest they're going to apply this to. No kings generally they're going to apply this to. It's just enemies of like Donald Trump generally . The DOJ press release about these sentences , you know, it wants to like back up its case so they have a bunch of images of evidence and it's just, you know, fireworks going on outside the facility , which , by the way, three weeks straight every night outside my house, the same thing's going on. It's summer in Los Angeles . And then there's like a guard there's like a little guard station that has fuck you pigs written on the side. And it's like what are we doing here? Like, shouldn't we be seeing something worse? They have like text messages or sign al chats between people. Let's say we had good intel on a time date target combo. What would we do about it? Block roads, slash tires, something else . And then the reply is try to confront and turn out a lot of people. My thinking is we can go out and do whatever at any time, but picking a good confrontation is about building momentum . And I guess they're trying to say do whatever at any time means whatever they want, but like the evidence that they're putting on their own website to back this up is like a little graffiti and a flashback like or a fireworks. Again, between people who don't know each other, this isn't like a big this wasn't a big terrorist attack, it was a protest . I don't know that much about the timing of this, but it does feel, you know, because this was originally a fourth of July protest having it happened so close to fourth of July does feel very intentional. And this is like somewhat unrelated, but I think it's just because of my proximity to hot dog culture. And I've been thinking a lot about how the two hundred fiftieth anniversary has been presented and framed and like all and it's like in all the expected shitty ways , but it does feel like there's like this is a moment that in a world that makes more sense to me would be galvanizing for organizers , but you're just not really seeing very much of it. And I just hope that story and these accounts reach the right people and make them want to continue to organize in larger numbers because that's really the only way to prevent this to continue to happen is to keep building. Keep building yeah , which is what they said in the in the text. Yeah. Yeah. I mean the best the best one of the best ways besides continuing to fight against these sentences are like to read this materials they were distributing . They were powerful enough for this to happen . Yeah, strizand affect the pamphlets. Let's try as and affect the leftist Zines You're listening to this podcast, so I know you've got a curious mind.

It did actually. Okay, good story. Carbine you'll want to tell stories about. Buy your car today on Car vana. Delivery fees may app ly . Yeah, they had two back to back earthquakes yesterday . One was a seven point two and the other was a seven point five . I don't know what is the oh the death tolls offic'ially at one hundred and sixty four right now, but that's just within twenty four hours, so we can expect that to go up much higher. It's one hundred and eighty eight now and I've seen estimates that it's gonna be in the tens of thousands , tens of thousands once . It's yeah horrific . It's a really devastating disaster no matter which way you're looking at it. And of course, we're now seeing it through the lens of we just did war stuff in Venezuela and we recently cut a bunch of aid that would normally be sending either search and rescue or other recovery efforts there. And the question I've had, you know, today since it had been, you know, twelve to eighteen hours since these earthquakes happened is are we able to do what we once would . And I don't think we really know the answer to that yet. I found one quote from an international public policy expert at Northeastern University who said in the past there was a highly skilled high capacity system that would have responded immediately. Now it's going to be much more ad hoc. That assistance is no longer systematized or built into a regular process. So not to immediately be like we're making this worse because it's this horrendous disaster and people are trying to find their families and the video from this area is just completely devastating with buildings leveled and then of course your immediate thought or my immediate thought was like how has this country made it worse in the last year and a half ? Yeah, it's at the whim of whoever like like Marco Rubio or like the if Trump is like, yeah, okay, we'll do something about it. Like it's not like that quote said it's not something that we do now . We've aside from like in addition to our absurd aggression towards many nations over the past , including Venezuela, aside for like remove that from the equation, it's still we don't help people anymore. We don't like doing that. We don't like giving aid. We don't want to even though there was one specific day where he declared himself president of Venezuela, there was that one day, but you know , if the disaster was in parts of South Africa, maybe , but not . I mean, I want to say that for Marco Rubio's part, he has said that we've just deployed search and rescue team s and that down the road will make a determination about financial aid. I don't know if he feels any kind of responsibility for the place now or if Trump does or if they can convince Trump that he should, but that's where we're at. I think Marco Rubio has been stripped of any sort of emotion and he's just sort of like on this bizarre zombie autopilot and just sort of like yeah just get through it, just get through it. Maybe I'll be a president, maybe just like get through it. I hadn't seen a picture of him in a while and there's there's a real husk like energy to he stays. He's really depleted inside . Yes. His insides are eating themselves alive in suppressed shame of some sort, maybe . Of course , this horrific tragedy happened this week alongside a conversation that is making its way online about Doge and Elon Musk's governance of Douge we're seeing the reality of those cuts and what happens when we just pull the wool out from underneath the rugs out from underneath people's feet . Yeah, it's really frustrating I mean, there's so many ways that those cuts have caused problems. We discuss maybe one of them every week or two every couple of weeks. Obviously we've talked about screw and various pandemics and all the things that have been cut and all the possibilities that have been removed because of all the research that has been canceled and things that we could be learning about the world that he's fundamentally an incurious narcissistic weirdo. So he doesn't care about that stuff. But then there are these like concrete examples of like well, we were, keeping these helping keep these people alive and now we're not doing that anymore. You are literally like you just decided to remove a keep people alive fund and you're seeing the effects of that. And he, you know, he's obviously going to not agree with that despite evidence and he's going to lash out and he's going to call everybody awoke mind virus, zombie, whatever . And he's going to say all kinds of lies. He's demanding to know the names of everybody in addition to all the other freaks who are like, just tell me their names. If there's like all these people, surely you know the names. We actually do know some people's names. In the articles that have been written about this. In the articles that have been written about this, there are like examples of like these stories of people who did depend on this aid and now don't have it and people are dead. And he could look that up , he could ask Grock to show him , but he cannot contend with reality, which is why he bought the website to form his own reality around him and he is constantly living in his little simulacrum online where he protects himself and his ego and his money . And it's really just disgusting I think it's interesting that he has this sort of view like well that's not going to like kill people. I just did this. I moved this around, I'm doing this money. He'll constantly talk about like the evils of like communism and like, well there's this famine and these people died and this and this and this. And when you drill down, it's like, well, these are like policy decisions that have like caused all these deaths. But he can't like connect it like, well, the things the decisions that you've made are also going to have these effects after the fact , but he's just he's just himself. Well, it's like with that Len, it's it's so tragic and frustrating to feel fairly sure that the US is not going to send a meaningful amount of aid to Venezuela in the wake of this tragedy. And then you see it alongside a story like this where it's like, well, of course the U. S. isn't going to send aid. They don't even care about the children that live in the U. S. and this is one of myriad examples of why that is. But yeah , the like resistance to even acknowledge that you know, being a part of making policy, you know, it doesn't matter what your political ideology is if your policy is killing people, your policy is killing people. But he's defending himself saying there's been zero deaths as a result of what he did. That's obviously that's an absurd claim. That's an absurd claim. The study that came up this week, this was a study from July of last year and it's like used models of like, okay, here's the number of people who were being kept alive per year. And so without the funding, they just used statistical analysis to estimate. And so they said fourteen million potential additional death s by twenty thirty, including four point five million deaths among children younger than five. And then some of the other studies found that there's probably already been hundreds of thousands of deaths since this was all done a year and a half ag o. But Rokana was on I've had it with just Jennifer Welsh and brought up that Lancet study, the four point five million potential deaths among children younger than five by twenty thirty. And I do believe that once we take power, it's there has to be accountability. There needs to be accountability for Elon Musk. You know, they're celebrating that he created four thousand four hundred millionaires, but they don't talk about the four point five million children around the world who he possibly sentenced to death by dismantling USA He needs to answer for that. He needs to be subpoenaed. He needs to face investigation . He needs to answer for what he did with Dolge that it's not just let's move on . This for whatever reason, people have been talking about this for months and that clip he must have seen on his thing, right on the website he owns, I don't know how it got through the algorithm into his feed. So that's why this is making the rounds right now. And speaking about Stryzanding affecting it, he's doing it big time this week. But also I think part of it is also he's previously like complimented a Rokana and like been like, oh I like them because of this or whatever . And in his world and in this just world is like if you have one if I if I complimented you , you're not allowed to say anything bad about me actually. You're not allowed to bring these things up. And I think probably there's a little bit of him like fuck this guy. There's definitely a little bit. Now he's calling him a sorrows puppet. Yeah , it's a soros puppet. Going to the hits, a soros puppet. Disagreement is treason. I believe is the tenant of fascism . I didn't know Soros funded that study. Well, no wonder it's so bogus. It's because Soros created that study. But wait, are you so lazy? If you're a Soros puppet, if you cite a study his foundation contributed to, does that mean you're a mus k puppet if you get money from his many companies in any way? Like if a billionaire pays for a thing and then you benefit from that thing? It's a puppet or aborus . Musk is about freedom from the woke mine virus, Jonathan . That doesn't count . He's a fraud , you see . It is interesting that X is so horrible that even Elon's own algorithm can get him that they're like, well, maybe this will elicit a strong emotional response . So in some ways the product is working as intended . one hundred percent. Yeah. I have a funny example of Grock also being clearly manipulated to just parrot what Elon wants. Someone was, you know, asking it about birthright citizenship and stuff . And Grock refused to give an argument that birthright citizenship is the law of the land because of the plain text of the fourteenth Amendment. And they wrote at Grock, so are you permitted under any set of facts or law to conclude that the children of illegal immigrants are citizens, and Grock says no . The fourteenth Amendment, text, and eighteen sixty six debates require complete jurisdiction and allegiance for birthright citizenship. So it's been programmed to just be like, nah, that's not a thing . Ooh , that's like, ooh, that's sneaky too. That's not like, you know, that there's that period where it would just Grak would just bring up like white genoc ides ? Oh, sure . And that's like they're like they've like slowly realized, well, we can't be too obvious about it. We need to like sneak some stuff and we don't pretty obvious. But I mean, that is an example of like, well they're they're still doing it to respond to the question , are you permitted to say this? He's like, Nah, can't do it. Right, yeah, it's just like finding the right phrasing. They don't let me say the truth anymore. Grock truly is the most annoying of them all. The lies and the intentional lies and the like the forced misinformation and the constraints that specifically Elon Musk has put on it, but also like the syntax and just like the way like it's so obnoxious. The way it responds to everything. It's like who is this person? This smoke show is buckle up. Chucklefuck is wrong. Oh my gosh. Buckle up, chuckle fuck. No, but it might as well. That's all that's all that's all I read when I read its responses. I'd look for it , but the search function on this website sucks. Oh, it's the worst search function that any website has ever had in the history of the internet actually. It is the worst search . It don't . It's like doing that that is so I do wonder at some point it's like if you, you know, if you use a trigger phrase for grock if it'll just go like furby mode and be like, I'm tired and then just stop responding . I'm going to bed . Well, Scott, it's a stock answer now because you can only use Grock and tag Grock if you have a blue check now. You used to not be able to used to like anybody could. But now if you tag people, it's like, sorry, you need to have you need to have a subscribe to Twitter Blue or X Blue or Premium. I don't know the fuck they call it anymore. Cody, did you get the email you've got early access to X money? I don't know why they tried to get me. I'm not a power user. I don't really use it. require the website to find the tweets that the GOP senators say for this thing. Ex money No, I didn't get that . That sounds that does sound like a phishing email. Yeah, I mean, it is, even if it's legitimate. Do we want to mention that Roe challenged Elon to a debate? That was Roe Connok'ansa response. It's pretty silly. Oh God, now talk about a throwback , debate me bro . Just to mention it because he also like 'cause the assertion is like, well, yeah, he should be like sued and like he should be in prison and like we gotta get this guy like legally . But then he's like, debate me . I don't think that's gonna do anything. I think he'd rather have you thrown in prison, yeah. Elon does need to agree to debate somebody. He would be so bad at it. He's the least like articulate and charismic person you can imagine. I want to see Elon in a surrounded episode. He ended up inadvertently in a debate with Katie Miller on her podcast when she was like, What would you do if you needed to make money again? And he's like, that would be impossible for you to know I literally couldn't just like giggling like, okay, whatever you say, but yeah, he was incapable of the idea of imagining something . Like, just imagine you don't have your money . How would you make your money? Well, I wouldn't never have no money. That is such a softball question to not be able to answer. Like , work hard, save money. Like I'd eat ramen for a few weeks. Like say something , man. . That is really like two steps away from like what are your four favorite movies? Like, come on. It's like seriously Southland Tales Fight Club. He wouldn't even say fight club. He'd say Boon Dock Saints . It does show how broken his brain is. No imagination to just be able to no empathy , the not having the ability to have empathy or put yourself in somebody else's shoes and just fundamentally not being able to conceptualize him not having money because he's always had money . But his for his like out ward facing like persona, his whole story is that like his claim is that he didn't have money. His claim is he had like I had like a hundred dollars and I was by myself and I had only a backpack when I came here and like I built so just like tell that story . Just describe what you did then , but in this new hypothetical scenario, but he couldn't even do that because it's made up . Whatever , it doesn't matter.

One clarifying thing, this was an update as we were talking, the State Department says it is providing one hundred fifty million dollars to Venezuela Disaster Response, fifty million to humanitarian groups working on the ground and one hundred million to the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs . Let's hope they do that and Elon matches it. He'll suggest like, well, I can build like a special tube to save the earthquake people. And then he'll like call people on the ground pedophiles and then he'll call it a day and that'll be that. we move on to another topic. Tuesday night, some elections, a big night for the left in New York City. Three candidates endorsed by Zuran Mandani won their primary campaigns against more moderate candidates. So now it's not just the right having a fit about it, but the Democrats are having a fit can join in. So Democratic Socialist Darieliza Avila Chevalier defeated five term incumbent and ch air of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Adriana Espayat in New York's thirteenth district, Brad Lander, we remember him , defeated Dan Goldman by more than thirty points in New York's tenth. That's pretty notable because that is one of the most Jewish districts in the nation . And one of the primary differences between Dan Goldman and Brad Lander is Lander has been willing to say that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, even though he also describes himself as a liberal Zionist. Yeah. And then finally he's very friendly. He's a real glad hander. Looks like Tim Robinson, we all like it. And then Claire Valdez, another Democratic Socialist defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso who had been endorsed by the retiring incumbent. And so there've been some freakouts all over the place . First off, I'm glad that this has a lot of attention . We should be paying attention to these wins. This is the Democratic Party should be paying attention and we'll get into more of how they've responded to it . But it does shock me that this has gotten way more coverage than , you know, terrorist charges brought against protesters because you know, but the but the reason it's shocking is because people are spending so much time clutching their pearls about the danger the Democratic Party is in or as who is it? Jamie Harrison posted on Twitter. If you hate the Democratic Party, then please don't run for our nomination . Don't use our resources. Don't rely on our volunteers , don't use our infrastructure. Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money and energy in your campaign. This election feels more alarming to Jamie Harris on than the terrorist charges. Just need to point that out. Yeah, it's also, I mean, it's weird uniting of like if you hate the Democratic Party, you got you know, then again you can't be that. If you have criticism to the Democratic Party, you can't be a part of this. And then also you have people on the right being like, if you hate America, you should be removed . Like not even mincing words. They're just like, yeah, if you hate America, you gotta get out of here. It's like, that's not how it works actually . That's literally that's just not how it works. All of the Democratic party response feels very like, well, if you want to be a part of the loser club, you gotta lose . Yeah. Fuck . We're actually extremely unpopular and it really bothers us that you're popular, so you can't be a part of this club. Of course you're not a part of the Democratic Party. It seems like people like you and find you to be at least marginally credible . It's yeah, whatever. Count counterproductive bullshit of course. And you know, big tent. Let's all come together. Let's all like get a party that, in addition to rejecting Trump and Trumpism and fighting against that front , is also working on a vision for the future that they can all get behind and move forward with together and bring everybody in in this positive vision of the future. That would be cool. They are so freaked by it. Yeah, they're so freaked out by it. Well, they're terrified that , oh, all these progressives will get into power and then they won't be able to put in place any of their pie in the sky ide as and there will be a huge backlash to them and then we'll lose. We'd rather just get in there and not do much and then lose. That feels like way safer than to like try to use political capital to do stuff . Continue to refuse to learn any lessons from the past ten years, from longer, but especially the past ten years . Continue to refuse to hear what people desperately need. Most people in this country do not see themselves reflected in either party because they're not talking about yeah, they're they might talk about cost of living but they don't do anything about it. They miss the point over and over and over again If you really want to win elections and actually serve your constituents , you would be listening to the people who are so jaded by our political system. You would be saying, What can I do to make your life better ? And that is not in their calculation. We all know why. There's a million reasons . They don't want things to change. You know just the bull shit excuses, the bullshit things that they tried to spin this into Megan McCain, to my beautiful Jewish friends in America, we love you. You are not alone. We are just as freaked out as you are and see with clear eyes exactly what is happening . What do you see you see people standing up and saying no to genocide? That's what you see. Or even just acknowledging genocide. Well, because otherwise you'd have to agree that most of these races were about things like the reasons people vote, affordability, which is a Democrat hoax, right? Like you have to frame it as if suddenly not just the billionaires anymore, but now Jews are under threat in like the most Jewish city outside of Israel, right? Like in New York, there's there's contingents of Orthodox Jews and Conservative Jews, and of course secular Jews who make up a huge part of the voting population . And people don't really make that distinction. And I don't think Meghan McCain makes the distinction of who she thinks is under threat and from what ? Are they are Jews under threat from the secular Jews who are doing the voting? I know who she thinks we're under threat from everybody's under threat from. It's the Muslim mayor. Yes. The Muslim the mayor. It's all wildly popular and successful in its short period of time. Shocking . We no longer can pretend that it requires years of bureaucracy and you know, waiting and waiting and waiting and all the excuses that were given for why changes never happened. It's New York City and he's doing astounding things in a short period of time. Not to say that he's not going to get show stopped here or there. He's at the beginning of his tenure there. But yeah, no, they still want to continue saying that this will be the downfall of New York City. Area Fleischer, free advice for New Yorkers, get out while you still can. The rise of social ists in New York City will threaten everyone. Mom Donnie's power will increase. Socialists will gain more seats and they're coming next for you . I love the they always do this like the socialists and the radical Islamists are gonna like come together and figure out what they're gonna do together and we need to fear both of them and they're all this one guy . It's just like Donald Trump somehow seems to have learned the note. Did you guys see the clip of him? Oh, he loves he loves that guy. Socialism and communists, you know, they're not communists. They're so Mom Donnie, that's a cute guy. He's handsome . Oh , so funny. I mean, anecdotally, it seems like people in New York are having the time of their lives. jealous like a fucking party all the time just barely managed to bonk Spencer Pratt on the head . Just miserable. We had to cheat and we waited until the last second to do it, really. And so it really by the skin of our teeth, yeah, we still not enough time to do it for the whole state unfortunately. You just had to yeah, we don't get to have the same kind of fun here. Yeah, leftists on my feet saying, please vote for a billionaire for governor. He's the I know. It's grim out here. No billionaire. He was the option. And I know I'm repeating myself , but I really just feel very discouraged today, not by these results, but by the conversations online. Some of these establish people, some of these centrists , the people, they would much rather spew this bullshit than talk about all of the vitally important things happening. And again , terrorist charges for people being at a protest that is so much more and needs to be out . Everybody needs to know about it versus their opinions about , you know , a socialist winning a house seat. Yeah, there's an authoritarian crackdown of free speech and protesting generally and a very, very blatant attack against like nominally left people, anybody . Stephen Miller's out there saying that they're trying to like kill federal state and officers . That's maybe a problem. I did want to highlight just bringing up all the Trump things. And you know this one more tweet this tweet from one benchapir, I thought was pretty funny. And it goes like this last night, a bunch of titles. Last night, a bunch of candidates who literally despise America won in NYC . Establishment Dems who live in fear of their radicalized base will cave to them. By twenty twenty eight, people who hate the country and wish to destroy it could be in charge . It been an establishment party, like establishment party members live in fear of their radicalized base . What's that like ? How do you know how do you know what that? How do you know about that? What are you talking about? Just like very, I just love whenever he's like, you gotta they're they're letting they're letting the radicals take over their party. Meanwhile, like Donald Trump is just like slowly eroding the country. You can watch any and I don't want to use this as like evidence, but like any surrounded episode with like Maga people , they abhor the ideas of like democracy and what this country is found on. They really, really, really reject like the actual values and they frame it like, well, this is real America. And it's just like very absurd to try to turn it around. But that's what they do. It's fine. Every day, Stanford Medicine advances human health, turning scientific discoveries into newfound hope and breakthrough innovations into personal triumphs.

Because they're boy , they're sure jamming them in at the end of the session here, aren't they? I'll run through them and then on their next day is Monday. So on Monday morning when we show up to record there will be the new things. It's really messed up the way they do this. There's not a very transparent system. You just kind of are like, oh, this week on this day come down from on high and who knows what we'll say . Who knows what the new edicts will be. But anyway , today there were a few interesting opinions. Mullin v al trolado in a six three opinion, the court says the Trump administration can prevent migrants from applying to asylum by physically barring them from entering the United States. They played with the word arrive because the law says that migrants can apply for asylum after they arrive in the United States, but if you're just stopped at the border and you don't get into the count ry on US soil, you have not arrived , you see. You've arrived outside of the United States. You haven't arrived in the United States. So if you were meeting your friend at the movies or something and you get to the grove parking lot and then you text them, I've arrived at the grove . No, you liar. You haven't arrived. They go to the Supreme Court to get the most boring semantic way to harm others that's their job . It's really like this is like really, really disgusting it functionally removes asylum like from existing , like there's no like if you have to be in the country , then all they have to do is just know. Well, unless you can't sneak in. It seems like this encourages they're encouraging people exactly . Otherwise like, okay, I'm at the border. I need asylum. Well, you can't ask for that actually, 'cause you're on the other side of the line by it really is like just like thinking about even what a request for asylum means removing that ability is really, really disgusting and anti human . Aren't we trying to encourage people to come here . Aren't we trying to make it easier for people to do the right process without needing to cross into the country illegally in order to try and claim asylum? This makes absolutely no sense. Unless you want to whiten the nation , unless you're trying to whiten everything and create some sort of bizarre ethnostate state and keep everybody out because you're Xenophobic and racist and I don't know. It's just like it's the layers of words and words and words which I just know which I know is just sort of part and parcel to this, but just to make it a complete impossibility and just eradicating the like whatever the quote unquote right way that is adjusted every couple of months. Like unless I'm misunderstanding something, like under this decision, they have made that there is absolutely no right way to claim asylum . It's illegal. It would be illegal to request asylum because they would have to enter the nation illegally. And yeah, so if you cross the line and ask for asylum, sorry, you are trespassing on the nation. Like it's like you're being chased by like a murderer and you like are pounding on like the door of the police station. And you're like, please, let me inside. I need help. And they're like, can't hear you? You might be a vampire. You gotta, you got to come inside in order to ask us for help and you can't come inside because the door is locked and I don't know. It's the same way with the entire system. People always say, well, we want people to come here, but we just want them to do it the right way And unless you're like Elon Musk or like there really are very few right ways to do it anymore. Like you can't like if someone doesn't have like a job or something like you can't, you're not allowed. But, ye itah's really nasty work . And so speaking of making the country whiter, that brings us to Mullen V Do , the court ruled six to three, you know who that administration decisions on ending temporary protected status are beyond judicial review. We can't look at it. We'd love to help , but also here's why we wouldn't help. And then so there's part one, which is like, we can't review that, sorry, we're powerless. Why'd you come to us? Whatever. And then the second part of it is they were saying, well, you can't end temporary protected status for all these three hundred thousand Haitian people because you're doing based on race. As we all know, the president is a racist and doesn't like Haitian people . And Alito, Samuel Alito wrote none of the cited statements from the case, none of the cited statements by either the president or the secretary was overtly racial . And so and I'm not one to be like, you go get them clap back in your dissent, but in her dissent, Elena Kagan pointed out some of the things that the president said like they're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats, Haiti's a shit whole country. They're poisoning the blood, they probably have AIDS. And why do we only take people from shit whole countries? Why can't we have people come from Norway and Sweden? Obviously everything you just said it's racist. It's racist . But I like you know, he was like, well, anybody can eat cats and dogs. Like he's not they didn,'t say they're eating it because of their race. So it's like, it's like that Weasly thing , but saying that immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country is racist . Like you're bringing in you're bringing blood into the picture. What are you talking about? Of course, that's fucking races. This issue in particular really gets me so fucking angry. My mom is a second grade teacher or was until very recent ly with I mean, she has, I think, ten to fifteen students in her classroom were Haitian and had to when those comments first came out had to like talk to her students about it which, just like breaks my heart heartbreaking, yeah. Well and to know that that this is going that this is just on a negative trajectory and and that these kids' families and them directly are still under direct attack from their own government. It's things that we know, but I just I go back to thinking of just, I don't know, yeah, like teachers having to figure out how do I talk to my students about this? Like how do you where do you even begin And the president is saying these things and everyone around tell them that they're not garbage because they're somebody they're not poisoning the blood of our nation by being here. And are you putting your own, you know, livelihood at risk by attempting to have the conversation? Like it's just well then you're on the end PSM, whatever Yeah, and all the and all the all the noise around him is saying , well , either don't worry, the libs are really mad about this, which means that it's good and he should keep saying it, or they're saying the base loves this stuff. Like they love when you say the shit hole stuff. So he's just he's just constantly encouraged to make it worse and target more people and target them more aggressively. Yeah, Alito he did not try very hard in this one have to. Doesn't need to. What's the point of trying? Why bother? Yeah . And do you want me to talk about Monsanto? Not really, but yeah, like I'm incensed about all of it. Yeah, and because there will be more in the next week. And yeah, this one was a seven to two ruling with the dissenters being Katanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch, interestingly. This one's kind of technical. It's weird the court ruled that a federal law called FIFRA gives the EPA the right to require certain labels on pesticides. So a man in Missouri couldn't sue Monsanto alleging that their product roundup was mislabeled and caused his canc er because that Missouri state law is overruled by a federal law. The upshot is that this guy can't sue, no one can sue under state law Monsanto , which round up because they allege the pesticide caused cancer, you can't even bring that to a suit . And Bayer, which owns Monsanto saw its stock jump sixteen percent I was going to say there's the upshot. What you talking about come on . And at the end of the day, okay, so two people dissenting, interesting like Kitanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch. Yeah, weird one. I mean, this just speaks to me about how all of our politicians, our whole system is bought and paid for by industries . And Monsanto is a juggernaut bear. This is a wild one and something that we're all going to be grappling with for the rest of our lives probably is this battle you know about chemicals that we know ingly spray, put in our food supply, get into our soil, into our waters , and it doesn't matter what it does to people. And they are going all in on this. This again, a few weeks ago, months, who knows , what is time other than a flat circle? At the same time as this was being brought up this ruling announcements about like California is actively spraying round up in our forests right now despite everybody protesting and pushing back and saying, please do not fill the Tahoe Basin with chemicals that will get into the water supply and impact wildlife. They're just doing it anyway. So we're fucked . Well, but you know, the real the real problem with our water though is the fluoride . So we got to that 's the real issue. Like all the stories we're talking about are connected because if you are an environmental protest now an environmental protester, God knows what could happen to you. Yep. Yo, yeah.. Yeah If you have a little pamphlet about the dangers of roundup, well, put them in the put them in the box, put them in the bucket. Yeah . So as Jonathan already mentioned, there are more decisions , imminent just gonna really shove them in at the end here, I guess. Bunch of stuff next week. I mean, they'll they're gonna likely throw us one with birthright citizenship and be like, see , the thing is still fine. The Constitution's still there . Everyone we do both sides. Look, the duct tape is keeping it together. Did you want to do a fun thing or are we done with the show now? I really want to talk about it real quick. We'll show it real quick. It's kind of visual, so Cody will have to like detail some of what's going on. But what we're about to show you is the trailer for the new daily Wire movie. Daily Wire plus a sequel , a sequel to the So this is one of their big franchises, a sequel to the twenty twenty film Run Hide Fight. This is Run Hide Fight, Infidels, starring not disgraced actor Jonathan Majors . They got kang . We have a terror warning in Northern Virginia. Radical Islam has designs openly on the West. The FBI boarded a terror plot on New Year's Eve, violent attack over the Halloween weekend in Michigan. Protests on college campuses showing no signs of stopping Light yeah. So if you are listening , you heard some you heard some like news, cable news footage and then you heard really some scary . What you heard nine eleven. Yeah, so they like they want to see this movie. They're like nine eleven's gonna happen. So right there . No, they they cut to what, is that ? The ISIS flag and then they pull back and it's the ISIS flag in front of an American university in Virginia. And then people do Muslim prayers in the middle of the qu at the American University . And Kodi's crying. I can't, this is so incredible. Like, why would they do this? Like 'cause it also says coming soon dot dot dot or already here ? Yeah . This is like a this is that's a poor promotion. Right? Maybe did they come out already? Just kidding. It isn't like maybe Maybe it's a roller . Maybe it's unavailable on most services. The Daily Wire is getting another potential hundred million in investment from Coch related investment firms and in their and they might IPO at a valuation of two billion dollars. No it's not worth that. And it is not and they blew like fifty million dollars on that Pendragon cycle rise of the Merlin . Well, that was a great success that everybody fucking talked about Right. Do you know about the Pendragon cycle Rise of the Merlin? No, that was just an absolute ly unhinged collection rise of yeah, yeah . Rise of the Berlin sounds in like grammatically incorrect. I'm sure you've gone through all of this before. Rise of the isn't Berlin a guy? He's in fairness, it's based on a book, but they did their own game of Thrones, a King Arthur saga thing for Daily Wire. That was fifty million dollars that bombed because no one goes to Daily Wire plus they go to Daily Wire plus to hear why they should hate trans people or whatever. They don't go to Daily Wire plus to watch Game of Thrones . Anecdotally, I've heard about I've heard about like Daily Wire casting guys skulking around town looking for anyone willing to be in one of their homes. Well, don't worry . They found the disgraced abuser to be in their majors . They need to cast outside LA they need to stop making movies. They're a political propaganda news organization. Like what he's doing? Is Ben the only failed screenwriter over there? Because he's not writing these movies. Are they all of them? They're all failed screenwriters or failed novels or failed actors. It's all like it's top down. I'm sure that they'll be quick to, you know, get AI on the screen cover. God yeah as well. Like and see, I mean, and the fact that they had this they already did a run hide fight movie and I don't know why they're doing a second one. It was like that wasn't popular and at least at least that was based based on like, well yeah school shootings happen but also I'm still trying to understand you can't possibly. It's not it's just you just have to like accept it, let it wash over you. The like rise of it doesn't make any sense meaning to I don,'t know if you have Cody . We keep meaning to legally get these productions and watch them, but I have not seen any rise of them early. Actually, I saw a brief review of it, a little review of it, doesn't look very good. It is available on a place that it's on websites that you can it's on websites other than the Daily Wire plus . I just quickly googled and it gave me an AI overview, but was run hide, fight movie a success or failure . And it says depends on how you measure it . A success ful popular p,opular was conservative audiences , but it was a massive failure with professional critics. Yeah, not very good. But then they do a sequel. It's just like this is such a bizarre relic like no one even I feel like even daily wire most daily wire audiences would watch this and go like is this two thousand two like what like what do we like what is this do I we do we need this now? Is this appealing to people? The super scary thing is just praying. Aren't they trying to be like Sharia Law has taken over? Everyone seemed to be just walking around with their coffee going to class. What's the problem? I do want to read the log line and again, and point out, we've mentioned this before , the star is Jonathan Majors , who was kang in the Marvel Universe until there was a domestic violence issue that he was charged with and disgraced and stopped doing it. And so the idea is just we've mentioned this before
