Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Culture War Debates Podcast Live.
00:01:11.660
We've got a live studio audience for everybody watching at home.
00:01:19.660
which is probably bad news for our friend Pisco.
00:01:31.180
was the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia just or unjust?
00:01:36.380
And should the Trump administration bring him back to this country?
00:01:41.480
I would like to throw it first to the gentleman to my right.
00:01:47.160
I argue on the internet from a left-wing perspective.
00:01:53.700
One of the big problems that conservatives cite with immigration
00:01:56.660
is the fact that it's illegal in the first place.
00:01:59.900
So if you have a problem with illegal immigration on the basis of its illegality,
00:02:05.260
surely you should have a problem with deporting people illegally.
00:02:09.560
Unless you think it was the right thing to do to break the law.
00:02:13.460
Do you think it was the right thing to do to break the law?
00:02:20.980
You all said you're fine when Trump breaks the law.
00:02:28.800
Well, they admit that it was against the law to do so.
00:02:34.280
And they promised they're going to do it to U.S. citizens too.
00:02:40.460
They've already arrested U.S. citizens, you know, for 10 days without due process.
00:02:43.720
They're lying about where he was near the border.
00:02:45.860
They've deported U.S. children who have cancer.
00:02:53.820
Yeah, it's just for someone to be deported illegally.
00:03:00.360
So basically, just to finish off, if you're willing to say that, you're willing to say
00:03:06.020
that you want Trump to be a king, that you want him to be a tyrannical fascist, and I
00:03:10.440
would ask you to look yourself in the mirror and really, you know, take a hard look.
00:03:18.240
We also have, with his opening statement and introduction, this gentleman here!
00:03:24.160
Nice to see you all, and Will Chamberlain, Senior Counsel at the Article 3 Project.
00:03:28.380
So, I think there are, you know, three core reasons that the outcome here is substantively
00:03:33.940
The first is that, had the Trump administration gone through the normal process to lift a withholding
00:03:39.140
of removal, this guy would have been removed 100% of the time for two core reasons.
00:03:44.000
First, he was found to be a member of MS-13 in earlier court proceedings.
00:03:48.840
Once that finding was found and upheld on appeal, he would be a stop from challenging that.
00:03:53.820
Now that Trump has designated the guy, as MS-13 rather, to be a foreign terrorist organization,
00:03:58.440
he's not eligible for withholding of removal anymore, so he'd simply have lost no matter what.
00:04:02.740
And the second reason is that, in the interim, between the time he got this withholding
00:04:07.740
of removal, and now, the 18th Street gang, which supposedly threatened his mother's papusa
00:04:12.800
shop, a preposterous story from the outset, that 18th Street gang is no longer effective
00:04:18.700
in El Salvador, which was the basis for his supposed fear of persecution, which is why
00:04:23.400
the withholding of removal was granted in the first place.
00:04:26.060
So, he wouldn't, so the outcome wouldn't have changed.
00:04:28.500
This is what we would call, you know, to analogize, harmless error.
00:04:32.100
The second reason it's substantively just is because the guy's a wife-beating MS-13 gangbanger.
00:04:40.800
And in fact, you know, the more that comes out about the guy, you're realizing, like,
00:04:45.580
just what kind of person he is, threatening his wife and children, telling them that, like,
00:04:51.800
Funny thing, I was reading a book about MS-13, and a different MS-13 gangbanger did
00:04:55.340
the same thing about a girlfriend he was dating.
00:05:00.120
But, you know, substantively, just obviously a very bad dude, a human trafficker, the kind
00:05:06.020
of person who drives people, you know, from Texas to Maryland who don't have any luggage.
00:05:15.480
And, you know, we can get more into that later.
00:05:18.620
There's one more man joining us tonight to make sure that there's a little bit of chaos
00:05:28.220
And I just want to say, you know, Pisco, you are very smart, but you're still a libtard.
00:05:34.820
I actually agree with you on this because this is, whether it was unjust or not, we got the
00:05:40.720
His big booty Latina is staying in the country.
00:05:43.140
And we need to do this as, you know, a lesson to these other gangbangers and Trenday Aruga
00:05:48.760
adjacent people that if you come to our country and, you know, you bring your big booty Latina,
00:05:56.660
Alex, Alex, the Latina in question is a U.S. citizen.
00:05:59.680
I know, but still, she's still a big booty Latina.
00:06:02.720
I mean, if the goal is to protect the U.S. citizen Latina from the predations of the
00:06:08.120
I'm saying protect even illegal or legal big booty Latinas.
00:06:14.340
So I'm saying, yeah, she's a legal big booty Latina, but he learned his lesson.
00:06:17.420
They don't get to go back to El Salvador or wherever you get kicked off to.
00:06:23.620
But we are going to be bringing up members of the audience.
00:06:26.340
People have submitted who want to join this debate and give you guys a chance to have
00:06:31.800
But I suppose the question to kick it off simply to either of you who wants to start
00:06:47.840
But in this context, do you think it was just for the Trump administration to do an
00:06:54.300
I mean, in these circumstances, it was the outcome was just.
00:07:03.660
So was it just to do a mistaken illegal deportation?
00:07:06.420
I mean, the actual substantive outcome here is a just outcome.
00:07:10.660
Whether the outcome was just or not, is the action, the mistaken, in your words, mistaken,
00:07:19.580
There's a reason I had the resolution being put out.
00:07:21.200
I actually agree that it was unjust, to be clear.
00:07:26.760
So, Tim, do you think that the deportation was just to do an illegal action?
00:07:31.200
See, what you're doing right there is, I'm just going to say, that's not debating to load
00:07:35.540
the question with, I presume it was illegal first, now answer.
00:07:44.480
So the issue is, is it a crime to make a mistake?
00:07:52.920
Nine justices on the Supreme Court unanimously, Will and I, both lawyers, will tell you it
00:08:02.680
You're saying that it was illegal because the Supreme Court said it was?
00:08:05.700
It's emphatically the providence and duty of the judicial department to say what the
00:08:13.580
Or wasn't deported under the Alien Enemies Act.
00:08:18.920
The proclamation for the Alien Enemies Act only applies to Venezuelans.
00:08:26.600
Does the Alien Enemies Act apply to Al-Savidans?
00:08:28.540
The proclamation issued by the president only to Trenderawa members who are Venezuelans, by
00:08:32.980
its terms, the proclamation by its terms, even assuming it were legal, would not apply
00:08:36.780
Yeah, this is not an Alien Enemies Act question.
00:08:38.920
So the question is, do you agree it was illegal?
00:08:41.420
If the argument is the Supreme Court said it was illegal and that's your basis for it,
00:08:46.780
Do you agree with the president or the executive department?
00:08:54.760
And the issue is we're talking about the semantics of what it means to be illegal, right?
00:09:02.280
People can smoke pot if they fucking want to smoke pot.
00:09:03.100
Okay, so that's why I'm asking you, first, if it's illegal, now you agree it is a legal
00:09:08.320
In the context of which, so the first thing I was trying to do was understand your view
00:09:15.440
You're saying, as a subject of law, as the Supreme Court has ruled it, we all agree the Supreme
00:09:21.460
Okay, so if it's the case that you think that this deportation was illegal, do you think
00:09:26.540
it was just for the Trump administration to do an illegal deportation?
00:09:30.600
Just like I think it's just for someone to smoke pot.
00:09:33.660
Okay, so if they did the same thing to a U.S. citizen, though, obviously you'd think
00:09:39.480
If they killed Kilmar Abrego Garcia, would you think it's unjust?
00:09:45.420
Killing people is one of the worst crimes, in fact.
00:09:57.080
So if it's the case that you thought that was wrong, wouldn't it be wrong, for example,
00:10:00.280
to put Kilmar Abrego Garcia in prison for the rest of his life without an opportunity to
00:10:09.100
You're trying to equate, say, Barack Obama, right?
00:10:13.920
He extrajudicially assassinated a 16-year-old kid without charge or trial.
00:10:18.540
I mean, if a dude cracks a grandma over there with a baseball bat and kills her, I say lock
00:10:24.040
If a guy accidentally runs a woman over, then we say there could be negligent homicide.
00:10:29.460
There's degrees of whether or not the crime is bad.
00:10:32.120
Is it justice in some circumstances and not when a crime is...
00:10:38.400
They not all rise to the same level of retaliation or retribution.
00:10:41.580
I'm saying it's illegal, and the Supreme Court found that.
00:10:51.300
You are defending an illegal deportation of a human being who has the right to have his case
00:11:00.960
If it's denied of anybody, it will be denied of you in the course of time.
00:11:08.760
And he was previously adjudicated as an MS-13 gang member.
00:11:16.080
No, so you brought up collateral stopple, didn't you?
00:11:26.200
I know because I have to say, a lot of these lawyers file shipwrecked, and they get...
00:11:32.580
And the truth is, there is no collateral stopple here.
00:11:35.460
What is the finding that the bond court hearing made?
00:11:41.560
If someone does something illegal, is that just or unjust?
00:11:49.020
If someone does something illegal, should they always be held under...
00:11:53.740
Okay, so we agree that the real question here is not whether it's just or unjust, whether
00:12:04.100
I'm asking, in this case, is this illegal action by the Trump administration just or unjust?
00:12:09.980
And you said it was just for the Trump administration to do an illegal deportation.
00:12:18.640
So, the first thing I got to say is, you keep loading this as though illegal is the pretext
00:12:23.100
by which something would be just or unjust, which is why I asked you, is if something
00:12:27.100
Did you know there's a fresh chicken option raised completely free of antibiotics?
00:12:34.420
Maple Leaf Prime raised without antibiotics chickens have never been treated with antibiotics
00:12:40.860
And the chickens are humanely raised and grain-fed right here on Canadian farms.
00:12:45.680
Plus, you'll find it packaged in recyclable trays.
00:12:51.060
Try Maple Leaf Prime raised without antibiotics chicken.
00:12:57.100
Hi, I'm Chris Gethard, and I'm very excited to tell you about Beautiful Anonymous, a podcast
00:13:03.580
I tweet out a phone number, thousands of people try to call, we talk to one of them, they
00:13:07.280
stay anonymous, I can't hang up, that's all the rules.
00:13:13.100
I've talked with meth dealers on their way to prison.
00:13:15.060
I've talked to people who survive mass shootings.
00:13:18.300
I talk to a guy with a goose laugh, somebody who dresses up as a pirate on the weekends.
00:13:29.440
Then you don't need to say, you know, am I okay, why am I okay with Trump doing something
00:13:36.620
No, I do need it because I think as a standard, right, there's a threshold here that in the
00:13:40.880
main, when the government does something illegal, we're going to presume it's unjust unless you
00:13:48.800
So if the, this can't just be a game of, we let the government do whatever we want to
00:13:54.760
We're fearful of the government wielding power in the main because of structural reasons.
00:13:59.020
There's a reason, there's a reason, there's a, there's a reason, for example, you believe
00:14:02.700
that someone who's accused, for example, of should be given a trial, correct?
00:14:08.180
Why is it that, why do you think that someone who's so horrific, and if everyone agrees
00:14:13.400
that this person, why should we give them a trial?
00:14:19.600
So you don't think, so just to be clear, this is where we're at now.
00:14:22.280
You don't think that crimes that are committed in this country by illegal immigrants, that
00:14:29.680
The penalty, and, no, they, so, wait, wait, wait, to be honest, we do have trials for
00:14:35.960
So, so, the penalty for an illegal immigrant typically is, for most, to cross within two
00:14:45.680
That means their due process is, an immigration officer will determine whether or not they're
00:14:50.240
That's not what we're talking about, we're talking about crimes.
00:14:52.180
And, and, yeah, so, so when we get someone here who, like, murders somebody, why are we
00:14:56.980
going to spend taxpayer dollars when the outcome is going to be, you get sent out of the country
00:15:01.680
Well, Tim, Tim, so, actually, we, a lot of times, I, well, we deal with this, we want
00:15:06.460
them to be prosecuted so that they actually face a punishment instead of getting deported.
00:15:10.180
So that is, we actually spend a lot of taxpayer resources on prosecuting illegal immigrants,
00:15:14.860
Not, so, so, so, but, like, I just want to, I want to dwell here for a second.
00:15:19.940
The Constitution says that persons in this country get trials if they are accused of a crime
00:15:33.560
So, so, so, right, so, for example, there's different parts of the...
00:15:37.680
In the case of Abrego Garcia, do you think that that is a sweeping policy that's being
00:15:41.680
used to deport mass amount of people, or is this a one...
00:15:45.320
Well, I'm just saying the pretext that we use to deport Abrego Garcia, I'm saying, do you
00:15:49.240
think that that is being used right now to, to deport a massive amount of people, or is
00:15:56.380
I don't think it's relevant to the question presented, which has to do with this...
00:15:59.800
Well, I'm just saying, you know, a few, when you make an omelet, a few eggs are going to
00:16:04.280
I'm just saying there are going to, it sucks how it is...
00:16:05.760
Yeah, but then just bite the bullet and say, yes, it was unjust.
00:16:08.420
We don't want the government in the main, unless there's exceedingly, exceedingly, like,
00:16:12.100
crazy circumstances to violate the Constitution, right?
00:16:15.900
Let me just get real quick, but do you think it's going to be used in a massive way?
00:16:23.520
I know you used to talk about the cancer girl, but they actually were allowed to stay.
00:16:26.720
So when leftists say that they were forced to leave, they chose to go with their family.
00:16:34.600
If you guys are stuck in your echo chambers, and again, I think that there's some of that
00:16:40.700
So if it's that case, then you wouldn't know, for example, that this U.S. citizen, there's
00:16:45.780
There's an opportunity that people have basic due process rights to see if, like, I don't
00:16:48.940
know, an aunt wants to care for the U.S. citizen, or another parent has parental rights
00:16:52.700
and the right to have custody over the parent or the child.
00:16:55.940
In the instance you're referring to, the mother requested the child.
00:16:58.460
So I don't know which case, there are multiple cases of U.S. citizen deportation.
00:17:01.720
One of which the mother denies that that's the outcome that she wanted.
00:17:06.260
But regardless, the policy that we're talking about is, with respect to people who are not
00:17:11.800
citizens here, and you asked if it's like a mass policy, they're already, by the Supreme
00:17:15.720
Court, again, unanimously saying that these people are entitled to due process.
00:17:20.760
You guys don't think that there should be due process for people.
00:17:24.600
Everyone thinks they're entitled to due process.
00:17:26.820
The question is what process this is due, and it's extraordinarily limited in the context
00:17:31.820
But Tim just said, even in the context of criminal, so Tim just said, Tim just said, Tim
00:17:37.220
just said, in the context of a criminal indictment, that there should not be trials for people
00:17:47.000
This is a really good example for media literacy.
00:17:49.540
What he did is he is falsely framing the arguments, redirecting it.
00:17:53.980
What I'm saying is, there is no trial required for a crime committed by an illegal immigrant
00:17:58.900
because they'll get an expedited removal before a trial can take place.
00:18:01.460
You're conflating an immigration hearing which is civil, and I agree, there's no, guys, don't
00:18:08.240
So immigration law and a removal proceeding is not a criminal matter, okay?
00:18:15.640
That's why J.D. Vance is full of shit when he says that we need trials.
00:18:21.760
I am aware you are asking for a criminal trial for, let's say, an illegal immigrant
00:18:27.040
I am arguing that we will deport that person back to their home country, and then we're
00:18:31.940
not going to hold a trial for them after the fact.
00:18:34.060
So you're going to let, you're going to take a murderer who committed a crime in this country,
00:18:38.680
you're not going to subject him to punishment in this country, and you're going to send
00:18:41.860
the murderer back to El Salvador just so he can cross the border again and murder someone?
00:18:45.380
Well, that's why Trump has Seacott, doesn't he?
00:18:47.060
Well, hang on, that wasn't embedded in your hypothetical there, that he would go to Seacott.
00:18:51.380
You presented information to the argument that was not previously included in it.
00:18:56.360
The argument is, an illegal immigrant here gets deported first.
00:19:03.280
How do you have a criminal trial for someone who's not in the country?
00:19:05.600
Wait, so he, so we do, this is high priority for our government to spend money on trials
00:19:11.620
protecting U.S. citizens, and it's one of the, you know, our common things as a term.
00:19:15.240
Oh, my, actually, actually, hold on, let me give a hypothetical to Tim, real quick though,
00:19:19.360
Tim, this is where I think you're wrong, I'm sorry.
00:19:21.280
So, would you have rather had Laken Riley's murder just deported, or are you happy that
00:19:29.720
So you trust, you trust this El Salvadorian guy?
00:19:32.760
Wait, wait, just be clear, you trust, you trust El Salvador to keep this guy in jail?
00:19:36.620
This guy committed a crime on U.S. soil, and you trust, you trust El Salvador?
00:19:42.380
Yeah, yeah, here, here, here's the problem, here's the problem, what, what happens if Bukele
00:19:49.960
It's, so, I got it, I got it, guys, I figured it out.
00:19:57.680
So, so in this country, in this country, there's justice for crimes, and what you're talking
00:20:02.100
about is injustice, it's exped, it's for the purposes of expediting something, but it's
00:20:07.080
For example, I, I actually disagree with you, I think, I think what you're saying isn't
00:20:10.820
justice, because you're, what you are doing is creating a defense for people who have
00:20:15.160
no right to be here in the first place, so that taxpayers have to spend money on someone
00:20:18.760
who's not going to be here after this, and if you look at the case of Abrego Garcia, this
00:20:26.940
He was supposed to get what's called a U.S.C.I.S.
00:20:30.580
To make it, this is under the law, this is actually the kind of law.
00:20:40.360
The withholding of deportation law states that if an individual receives a U.S.C.I.S.
00:20:43.000
interview that determines the circumstances of their home country has changed, they can
00:20:49.560
So, you go to sub F on that statute, or it's a, it's a regulation.
00:20:56.640
to determine whether someone's going to be, you know, taken away.
00:21:03.380
No, no, no, pull up the law on withholding of deportation, which explicitly states that
00:21:06.380
a U.S.C.I.S. interview can determine that the circumstance of their home country has changed.
00:21:11.560
That's affirmatively what we're talking, so this is the problem.
00:21:15.920
And so, in the immigration context, you can apply affirmatively to U.S.C.I.S., or you
00:21:22.940
Let's bring him back, and the first thing that happens when he walks on the door, they
00:21:25.780
So, I just want to be sure, you concede that it was unjust and it should be brought back
00:21:29.260
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:21:33.420
I am saying for the sake of arguments, I will no contest your argument and say, the end
00:21:43.420
That's you engaging in semantics to change the arguments I make.
00:21:46.960
Why don't you actually engage with the argument?
00:21:49.200
Why don't you actually engage with the argument and not say, oh, I don't know, because I'm
00:21:52.400
Now I'm just going to say, I don't really care.
00:21:53.880
What this guy does is he plays semantic games with the, with the ideas being presented
00:22:01.700
so that he can try and finagle out of when he's backed into a corner.
00:22:05.640
So how am I backed into, so I, I understand the proposition to be, is the deportation unjust
00:22:10.240
and, wait, wait, wait, wait, I understand the proposition to be.
00:22:12.540
The end result of Abrega Garcia's return to this country is immediate expedited removal.
00:22:24.100
I understood the proposition that you laid, I listened very carefully.
00:22:26.300
You said, is it just and should it be brought back?
00:22:29.080
And you just said, okay, I guess it should be, you know, it was unjust.
00:22:33.860
The point is, it's called a moot point when you're arguing something that's immaterial
00:22:38.880
to the end result of what we're trying to accomplish.
00:22:46.120
I also heard everyone else said, this is debate.
00:22:56.720
I don't even, I don't even remember that was supposed to happen.
00:23:02.180
The resolution was supposed to be, is the deportation profoundly unjust, right?
00:23:08.260
It's because there is a mild injustice that happens whenever the law is not followed, right?
00:23:13.500
So, you know, unless there is like some dramatic reason to not follow the law in a particular
00:23:20.020
I think that the more interesting, and the funny thing is the Trump administration has conceded
00:23:23.700
to this since the beginning of the filings, right?
00:23:25.660
The Trump administration conceded from the outset that this was administrative error, that they
00:23:29.440
should have gotten the withholding of removal lifted before they removed him to El Salvador.
00:23:32.880
I don't think that's the most interesting question, because it's a question that like
00:23:35.920
even the Trump administration agrees to, for the most part.
00:23:39.520
I think the question is, is this a profound injustice?
00:23:42.440
And I think the answer to that is obviously no, for the reasons I laid out at the beginning,
00:23:45.940
And that I think, I'd like to actually like hear your argument for why this is a profound
00:23:51.340
And I want to make one little point though, Visco.
00:23:53.140
You know, when it comes to Abrego Garcia, and I personally think this is an isolated
00:23:57.300
incident, but even if you are right, I'll concede that I think, you know, I, ideologically,
00:24:01.860
even though you and I are different on this subject, I do feel like that he didn't get
00:24:04.420
his, you know, due process, but, and I had to debate this on college campuses, it is hard.
00:24:08.680
But in, in this instance with Abrego Garcia, I...

I think it's isolated, and I don't think that it's a massive problem.
00:25:38.420
I mean, that's what I think about this, but I do concede.
00:25:46.400
They're making this guy to be like a hero, and it's one incident, and it's bad, but he's
00:25:52.400
So it just kind of sucks that even though you are right in this instance, I don't want
00:25:56.600
to be like the left because they say that the means, the ends justify the means, and
00:26:00.780
I don't want to break the law to get the outcome that we want.
00:26:06.600
This is worse than the George Floyd situation, and I'll tell you why.
00:26:13.980
I don't know from what perspective that could possibly be right.
00:26:16.720
It doesn't matter how you come down on George Floyd.
00:26:18.760
The valence of George Floyd is bigger on either side.
00:26:23.780
And I do believe that George Floyd was murdered.
00:26:30.400
Yeah, no, you should listen to the pulmonary cardiologist, to his testimony.
00:26:40.980
So this is why I do think that even though that there's a history of, you know, cop violence,
00:26:47.340
not just on black people, on people, you know, of all races, whatever, and it's a problem
00:26:51.400
in the United States, I think that it doesn't present the same kind of civilizational problems
00:26:56.920
that are presented by what the Trump administration is doing here.
00:26:58.740
What they're trying to do here is put people outside of the contours of U.S. law.
00:27:07.720
We have prisons in the United States for the worst of the worst.
00:27:13.940
The reason why we need to send them to Cicat or to El Salvador is quite simply because
00:27:21.160
And that, when the president unites, when the strongest person in the country is saying
00:27:25.080
things like, for example, I want to do this to U.S. criminals.
00:27:36.100
There are people that are being held there without due process.
00:27:42.660
Kept that when he said he campaigned, oh, I'm going to shut down Guantanamo Bay.
00:27:46.740
Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong, and he has held on justly.
00:27:52.840
But let's just, I want to ask you guys, like, if Trump sends U.S. citizens
00:27:58.460
abroad to see caught, you would have a problem with that, right?
00:28:03.960
As a different form, instead of using a U.S. prison, I don't know why it's any different
00:28:07.500
than our private prison industry that's a scam.
00:28:09.600
So, I mean, to send them to a prison, they're both bad.
00:28:21.400
And we've got two minutes left, and then we're about to have, we're about to get into
00:28:24.940
Trump is testing this theory, and he's telling you in advance he wants to apply it to U.S.
00:28:30.340
And just like Obama, one of the things I respect about Tim Poole is he's aware of the kinds
00:28:36.040
of violations that occurred under Rumsfeld, under the neocons, under Trump, Barack Obama,
00:28:41.920
And that very same rationale that applied to Guantanamo Bay, that applied to the deprivations
00:28:46.820
of due process in, like, Abu Ghraib, surely that applies to Trump version 2.
00:28:51.920
And I don't see a kind of exceptional circumstance in this case that would justify breaking the law.
00:28:55.720
Well, before we go to the members, Will, do you want to take the last point?
00:29:02.040
I mean, so, I think the argument that this is ultimately going to lead to U.S. citizens'
00:29:06.640
deportation is just a really bad, slippery slope argument.
00:29:09.880
I think that there's so many other remedies that are available to U.S. citizens that it's
00:29:25.460
Do we just trust Trump and his, you know, Kash Patel to say who the terrorists are?
00:29:32.180
With any sort of prison, I mean, there's levels of crime would decide.
00:29:38.820
One of the reasons why Tim, I think, in good faith is against the death penalty is he understands
00:29:42.960
the propensity for courts, yes, even courts with full review, to get shit wrong sometimes.
00:29:48.360
In this case, I think that you should be fearful of a purely executive discretion on who is a terrorist
00:29:56.200
See, here's where I want to make one last point, right?
00:29:59.080
And this is why I think the slippery slope argument is bad.
00:30:01.860
It'd be one thing if the Trump administration was hiding that it had made this administrative
00:30:06.140
But from the outset, from the very first filing in court, from the first declaration, the Trump
00:30:14.120
He should have had his withholding and removal lifted.
00:30:16.200
So, you know, he didn't fire the guy who made the declaration, right?
00:30:20.180
He made the, you know, he fired the attorney, but he didn't fire the...
00:30:22.000
The senator, the guy who admitted it, and they're on...
00:30:24.340
They suspended the attorney, but not the declaration.
00:30:27.160
Stephen Miller's lying about the Supreme Court decision.
00:30:28.880
And you agree that Trump could get him back if you wanted to.
00:30:33.600
I think it's beyond the judicial power to order.
00:30:35.980
Whether it's beyond the judicial power to order, since you said it was unjust, why wouldn't
00:30:39.980
you want him to right the wrong that you acknowledged?
00:30:43.900
Like, and one of two ways, either a Zoom hearing or a hearing in the American embassy in San Salvador,
00:30:52.860
You resolve the problem by just having the hearing to lift the withholding of removal.
00:30:57.220
But the Supreme Court said facilitate his release in custody in El Salvador.
00:31:04.460
And it's like, I think they're acting on a rushed basis.
00:31:07.300
They haven't been very clear about what they mean by facilitate.
00:31:11.240
So I think the solution here is, while they're litigating what exactly facilitate means in
00:31:17.260
this context, you just go ahead and handle the withholding of removal issue.
00:31:23.320
First of all, I just want to address that real quick, because I want to address the issues
00:31:26.340
of collateral estoppel and the issues in issue preclusion.
00:31:28.880
That's a legal term of art, but for the lawyers who are eventually going to watch this.
00:31:31.940
The bond hearing is only related to the issue of whether or not he's in the moment a danger
00:31:36.000
It's not a finding of the court that is able to apply and have binding precedent on any
00:31:43.080
Furthermore, the basic contours of due process and collateral estoppel require there to be
00:31:48.100
a vigorous process where the issues were really held.
00:31:50.860
They didn't have the opportunity to cross-examine any of the witnesses.
00:31:53.260
An anonymous witness on two forms, one of which is blatantly wrong and contradictory.
00:32:00.580
And so the issue of collateral estoppel, there's no collateral estoppel.
00:32:03.000
I mean, I think in the context of an immigration proceeding, I think it would, you know, you can't suddenly
00:32:10.960
Okay, that's 30 minutes, but we'll let you wrap it up.
00:32:13.820
And then just the second issue of withholding, it's clear under the regulations and under
00:32:18.560
the due process clause, you are allowed to bring up, if just as the burden of the proof
00:32:21.840
is going to be on the government to show that the country conditions have changed so
00:32:24.420
that Barrio 18 is like no longer a threat because Bukela is just fucking Superman or whatever,
00:32:27.420
he's going to have additional opportunities to argue other withholding arguments, one of
00:32:31.480
which is now that he's been identified by Bukela by name, he has a very strong argument
00:32:35.060
that he's going to be actually a target of persecution by Bukela and the administration
00:32:38.460
and the state, which I think is actually a stronger argument than the Barrio 18 argument.
00:32:46.440
You guys kind of got your palate, you know, and now we need the palate cleansed.
00:32:50.700
You got your little taste of what tonight's going to be about.
00:32:55.120
So, guys, what's going to happen is that we're going to pick people up.
00:32:58.580
So first we're going to start with Donnie Dossie.
00:33:00.920
But, Donnie, what's going to happen is you're going to come up here.
00:33:02.480
You're going to get a minute uninterrupted to talk about whatever prompt you want.
00:33:06.700
We're just going to use you because you're the first one.
00:33:08.980
And then after you make that argument, then you're going to come up here,
00:33:11.840
and that's when we're going to have the back and forth dialogue.
00:33:13.660
So you got one minute, and then, you know, hopefully just give us your best one-minute elevator pitch
00:33:23.100
You get to freaking argue with the most famous guy on YouTube.
00:33:39.160
So this withholding of removal thing that I keep hearing about, I mean, granted, I admit I'm not a lawyer or anything.
00:33:45.440
I also, you know, I didn't actually, like, read the Supreme Court ruling or anything.
00:33:49.780
But my understanding of the withholding of removal is this makes it illegal for them to have deported Garcia to El Salvador.
00:33:57.500
It did not grant him permanent residency within the United States, and it also did not outlaw ability to deport him to another country.
00:34:04.960
So I'm kind of confused on where the confusion.
00:34:17.940
Like, what if Bukele isn't willing to relate to him to us?
00:34:23.140
Are we supposed to send in the military and go take him by force and bring him back here just so that way we can detain him and deport him again anyways?
00:34:34.700
Well, come on up, and then we can tell you why you're wrong.
00:34:46.800
I know that we disagree on stuff, but I really appreciate you all coming here.
00:34:50.020
I think it's a really important topic, due process.
00:34:58.540
Go up against these three and an entire fucking room of people that are opposing you.
00:35:07.060
So I think the first, I'm going to deal in reverse order.
00:35:09.760
The first thing is like, well, how can we actually get that done?
00:35:12.240
I think everyone, if they're being honest with themselves, because you guys are honest people,
00:35:16.860
should admit that Trump could, if he wanted to, get Kilmer-Barbera Garcia back.
00:35:21.440
He recently, as like this week, said he could get him back.
00:35:24.700
So we believe in terms of practicality, the president of the United States could get him
00:35:31.100
I mean, I concede he could because he does have a lot of sway and Bukele wants to work with him.
00:35:38.080
But then at the same time, this also keeps Bukele in the spotlight.
00:35:42.460
But let's not talk about any questions of could.
00:35:46.040
Because I don't really think that you can make a strong argument that he couldn't.
00:35:50.120
I don't really think that he needs to waste his time on it.
00:35:53.220
Hang on, I just wanted to give Will an opportunity.
00:35:54.780
Well, yeah, I mean, I think my point is that there's Article 2 prerogatives that he actually
00:36:00.880
And so in a world where Article 3 is sort of like in this vague game of trying to order
00:36:06.700
So I want to give Will his credit because it is the case.
00:36:09.740
There are, as the Supreme Court held, limits, Article 3 limits on their ability to infringe
00:36:17.760
Like if the Supreme Court said to Trump, hey, you have to go send in spec ops to take this
00:36:22.900
guy out, I would think that that's unconstitutional for them to order that.
00:36:28.120
But that's a question of whether the court can order the remedy, not a question about what
00:36:32.960
Well, no, because there's an odd element to this, too.
00:36:35.100
And I think that you're a little, you're alighting.
00:36:37.260
The odd argument is that in a world where the Supreme Court is attempting to encroach
00:36:43.080
on his power with vague orders and Trump exceeds to it, that sets a precedent for what the court
00:36:50.560
And so, I mean, and since we're in this area of like core Article 2 power, why, why I think
00:36:54.400
in, you know, I think Trump should do, as I said, my, I think the remedy here is this hearing
00:36:58.560
in El Salvador, but I think Trump should resist any sort of attempt to say, oh, you're, you're
00:37:03.880
ordering me to negotiate with the Salvadoran government to bring him back.
00:37:06.420
I'm not going to do that until you give that up.
00:37:08.040
We also need to address what it means to, what the, what the phrase could bring him back
00:37:13.080
And this would mean that Trump would need to negotiate with Bukele to some degree.
00:37:16.260
And I also believe it's fair to say that while Trump could bring him back, the resistance
00:37:22.700
Bukele is going to have to concede to his nation.
00:37:25.780
I have released an MS-13 gang member because I was pressured by a foreign country.
00:37:29.920
So Trump could get him back, but Trump's going to have to come in like, here's what we'll
00:37:35.680
Things that the Supreme Court can't order him to guarantee.
00:37:42.420
I've had a client from El Salvador before and I want to underplay the problem in the gang.
00:37:50.500
Like the, El Salvador, my, my client that I once had, he, he was absolutely a victim to the
00:37:56.260
It was endemic and it was just unlivable in El Salvador.
00:37:58.620
So I don't want to underplay the degree to which gang violence matters.
00:38:01.920
But he is not, he, his approval rating, you know, is to the max.
00:38:06.780
The, the, the notion that he would face some kind of humongous.
00:38:09.880
At the very second that he softens on that, his approval rating is going to go down.
00:38:14.740
You don't think he's like, okay, we gave it back because we want to make a good relation
00:38:17.580
That's not going to affect his, his approval rating.
00:38:23.240
I want to do some Socratic dialogue with you because you did a lot earlier.
00:38:30.460
Let's imagine a world where the United States had an illegal member of La Cosa Nostra in
00:38:39.620
And somehow he had managed to acquire withholding removal from an immigration judge.
00:38:44.720
Maybe the, that information got hidden about him being in La Cosa Nostra, whatever.
00:38:52.080
Um, and then, you know, that's four minutes, Donnie.
00:39:00.260
Donnie, you spent a minute of it kissing Pisco's ass.
00:39:05.280
I was just trying to talk about, you know, I'm impressed that he got up here, but at the
00:39:21.800
And, uh, so guys, you guys, you're going to be able to come up here.
00:39:25.260
I know, Donnie, it's tough being the first one.
00:39:30.300
We just, you know, you, you know, you took a virginity.
00:39:34.880
Well, Alex Jones, we're about to get into Alex Jones, but it's funny because we're getting
00:39:42.540
You know, I mean, it is, but we do have a few ladies here.
00:39:46.320
So next up, I want one of those beautiful ladies from the audience to come on down.
00:39:50.680
So do we have a lady that wants to come up here?
00:39:59.460
If you're here, guys, you're susceptible to being chosen and get up there.
00:40:05.700
If you suck for the minute, you get kicked off.
00:40:17.200
Well, if you're going to be a chicken buck, well, like, listen, you know, you came here,
00:40:43.500
None of the, is there anybody that's liberal or, you know, has a different viewpoint than
00:41:03.160
Let him deal the timer and we'll see what you got.
00:41:06.000
If I can get it in before he gets the timer going.
00:41:12.060
And I believe all of this is a fact that they denied him his sixth amendment right to a right
00:41:16.040
to a speedy trial when he was denied essentially all of the process, uh, processing that would
00:41:20.700
have been needed when he had the stay of export, uh, deportation.
00:41:25.540
In addition to that, most of immigration is actually screwed up because we have not filed
00:41:30.000
a writ of mandamus against the federal government for not processing all of these people who
00:41:33.740
are stuck in immigration limbo for eight, 10, 15, 20, 30 years, and they should be doing
00:41:39.280
their job and getting them the hell out of the country.
00:41:51.760
Uh, so, so it's not a Sixth Amendment issue because it's a civil, because it's a civil
00:41:54.600
and you can't get a writ of mandamus because one, number one is these judges are executive
00:42:01.040
So, um, you sure, you sure can get a writ of a mandamus against, uh, executive branch
00:42:05.400
officials, but, um, you know, right now they're all under Trump.
00:42:08.220
And so, you know, if, if Trump could just order them to do whatever you want the writ of
00:42:14.380
But like, all I mean is to say is I think that the, this is properly understood as a due process
00:42:19.000
So if the writ of mandamus was actually filed under the previous administration, then they
00:42:23.000
would be obligated to do what it is they need to do.
00:42:25.400
That sounds like it's the article three judges encroaching on the, uh, executive branch prerogatives.
00:42:30.060
I think that actually, and in this context, it probably would be because we actually, you
00:42:36.400
There's an article two prerogative to manage immigration and enforce immigration laws.
00:42:40.040
You can, you can fail to enforce such a degree that it would be like mandamusable by
00:42:44.040
somebody, but then there's all sorts of like other questions.
00:42:45.740
I want to, I want to cut a deal real quick with Democrats.
00:42:48.360
Uh, I, I will advocate for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to this country for his
00:42:54.020
If we also simultaneously get a hearing on the extrajudicial assassinations, Barack Obama
00:43:05.360
Cause, cause you might think, and I understand this point, like, first of all, um, he, he
00:43:16.020
Well, so, so, uh, Anwar Al-Awlaki is a great example, but Abdul Rahman is a better example.
00:43:22.660
Uh, Abdul Rahman is a 16 year old, was a 16 year old American citizen, was not a part
00:43:28.300
The, the Obama administration ordered a drone strike on a civilian cafe in Yemen, a
00:43:31.860
country we were not at war with, blowing it up, killing a bunch of people, including
00:43:37.740
I would like, and I don't think you necessarily disagree with me.
00:43:40.440
I, I, I, that's why I said Democrats, I'm not directing at you.
00:43:42.860
I know that if I went to democratic politicians and said, you see this as an injustice, I believe
00:43:48.460
that in the end, the courts will prevail as it pertains to Barack Garcia.
00:43:51.380
So I'm willing to say, okay, let's spend that money, but you got to give me something.
00:43:56.600
The only reason that I would say that's a problem is I believe there's a statute of
00:43:59.740
limitations on what it is you can follow a writ of mandibus for.
00:44:03.820
I don't think there is in this case, but when this case, when you're talking about military
00:44:12.460
A writ of mandibus, you sue the government essentially for inaction.
00:44:16.960
But he's not talking about a particular remedy.
00:44:18.840
He's saying I'm willing to publicly support X in exchange for Democrats giving.
00:44:23.200
And so, so, um, I will also concede that there's probably, and you guys, the lawyers probably
00:44:27.080
know this better than me, some kind of immunity Obama has where he's going to say, this is
00:44:32.200
We did not intend to kill an American, but we did.
00:44:34.500
So he may have some immunity from criminal prosecution.
00:44:38.320
I don't think you're going to win a, I don't think a judge is going to entertain this.
00:44:41.200
I think you can still get wrongful death or something like that.
00:44:43.620
I mean, he probably has like a, the president has absolutely, I mean, you would, you would
00:44:50.900
Unfortunately, I don't know if he has any surviving family members left because they
00:44:55.580
No, but my, my argument in the long form is actually impeach him, convict him.
00:44:59.160
And then now that he's no longer immune, you go after him.
00:45:01.560
But the court has already, so in the Trump versus United States case, which I totally disagree
00:45:09.640
So the Supreme Court specifically rejected that impeachment judgment clause argument in
00:45:15.360
So one was the inherent structure of the constitution makes it that we have certain degrees of absolute
00:45:19.640
immunity for core executive acts that are part of your core executive powers.
00:45:24.500
But there was an argument additionally that Trump said that, well, I'm not immune under
00:45:29.300
those theories or alternatively, I'm immune until you impeach and remove me.
00:45:34.400
But the Supreme Court unanimously held that that was not the case.
00:45:37.180
So you don't need to impeach someone to trigger a criminal immunity and remove them.
00:45:43.820
Would I support a hearing that looks at the executive power and its use on U.S. citizens
00:45:57.280
Now, guys, when you come up, you got one minute.
00:46:01.960
Why don't we just have them, if we don't know, like some people did or didn't show up,
00:46:04.600
why don't we have them raise their hands and then see who was prepared to come up?
00:46:07.740
Well, I know this guy's here because this guy's insane.
00:46:57.200
So what I wanted to discuss, you guys actually touched on it briefly.
00:47:02.300
So what I wanted to discuss, and you guys actually talked about it or touched on it briefly,
00:47:06.020
was actually the, I guess, sale of U.S. citizens to private prison industry in the United States
00:47:14.780
and how that would be any different than selling U.S. citizens to CECOT, for example.
00:47:21.900
I believe that there would be, there's already a precedent that's set in the United States
00:47:26.240
where we do pass or sell inmates along, from my personal knowledge, working as a corrections
00:47:32.520
And I believe that it would be as simple as creating a territory or creating CECOT, a
00:47:41.300
territory within, I'm sorry, creating a territory within CECOT that is ran by the BOP.
00:47:48.900
So for those who didn't hear, he asked, what about the comparison to private prisons, the
00:47:52.460
fact that we outsource and contract private entities to take on the responsibility of the
00:47:57.320
government, specifically with incarceration of individuals, both of, you know, for crimes
00:48:01.240
Wait, but Pisco, I'm going to say, I'm more surprised that a guy with prison tattoos is
00:48:07.560
Where did that, where did that, where did that, where did that, where did you come from?
00:48:10.540
He's got the small cane, he's got the marijuana leaf, I mean, man, that's gangster as hell.
00:48:21.980
Yeah, but you do have a weed flower on your arm, though, right?
00:48:31.240
It's a fantastic thing to say, because I think it's on all fours.
00:48:36.540
Bukele is being used as a contractor, and that plays into my argument and the argument
00:48:40.520
of the plaintiff, which is, Bukele is not exercising the sovereign power of El Salvador
00:48:48.140
He is being contracted by the U.S. government to hold him.
00:48:52.480
There's an argument that, oh, they're only paying money for the Venezuelans.
00:48:57.980
You know, obviously, he's working at the past of the U.S. government.
00:49:02.500
If we, okay, so if under normal circumstances, Joe Biden had sent back a Salvadoran gang
00:49:07.940
member, a legal alien, to Bukele, right, and say there was some financial arrangement even
00:49:14.080
between Bukele, not necessarily related to this particular person, but there was a financial
00:49:16.900
arrangement, is then suddenly, if there's some problem, is he able to, like, demand that
00:49:23.300
I think that there's an existing contractual relationship, an existing constructive custody,
00:49:28.700
you would argue, that this person is continually, it's not like one and done event.
00:49:33.900
It's why is this person in, I don't actually think he's in Sikah anymore.
00:49:37.720
I think they transferred him out someplace else.
00:49:39.980
But, like, why is he in custody in the first place?
00:49:42.680
Is he being in custody because he's being charged with a crime by Bukele?
00:49:46.120
Is he being, you know, why is he, in fact, in prison?
00:49:48.380
And the truth is, or in wherever he is, it's because he's acting at the behest of America,
00:49:53.320
and everyone kind of knows it, and the fact that we all kind of acknowledge, I don't
00:50:00.100
What is the legal process for imprisoning someone in El Salvador?
00:50:08.900
I wonder why you're bringing up a foreign country's criminal justice system for their
00:50:13.000
Oh, I'm sorry, you're talking about the internal domestic process in El Salvador?
00:50:20.680
So, are there other dictators that you're concerned about in other parts of the world?
00:50:26.840
Well, I don't frequently debate about it when it doesn't relate to the US.
00:50:28.920
I don't think we have to be so chauvinist to assume that every country's process system
00:50:33.880
being different, especially El Salvador, which has had 30 years of gang violence, for them
00:50:37.440
to be like, no sorry, you have gang tattoos, you're going to jail.
00:50:39.440
But I don't even think we need to argue that, because I think there is a moral worldview
00:50:43.400
difference between us, and I don't mean this disrespectfully in that my view is, hey, we're
00:50:49.420
If El Salvador is being shitty, I mean, that's El Salvador.
00:50:51.940
El Salvador, and this guy's their citizen in their country, if they decide to put him
00:50:58.060
Yeah, but you're ignoring the process of how he got there, and how, yeah, it's, so, again,
00:51:06.740
if, you know, I actually, I ask this of Kristi Noem, can we just give him his hearing, and
00:51:11.460
be done with it, because we know that in the end we are correct, and her response was,
00:51:17.200
So, I have a question, to kind of bring it back to what we were discussing here, right?
00:51:23.180
So, we already run programs very similar here in the United States, like with the 187G
00:51:28.800
program, Sheriff Chuck Jenkins up in Frederick County, Maryland, has been running that for
00:51:33.400
many years now, and has been very successful prior to the Trump administration.
00:51:39.320
But my point is, those inmates, he is being compensated by the United States government
00:51:46.500
His deputies are deputized as federal marshals or federal agents.
00:51:51.500
Why would it be any different if we rented out a wing in Seacott and sent inmates there
00:52:00.720
One is, I think that your description of that relationship is completely correct.
00:52:03.520
I think that's exactly what's happening with Bukele there, in the sense that, yes, the
00:52:07.460
U.S. government is contracting a party to enforce immigration law, but the reason why it's different
00:52:14.020
is the deprivation for which due process applies is the physical removal from the country.
00:52:21.080
And so, when you deport him to another place, you've now done the deprivation for which there
00:52:27.920
And so, that's my answer to that is, in theory, I guess I wouldn't have a problem with the
00:52:34.360
I don't like it, but legally, I don't know if that's a problem.
00:52:39.100
I just want to point out real quick, this guy right here is a Maryland man with knuckle
00:52:51.780
I mean, he just sells weed, is what that means.
00:52:54.140
Now, actually, I got some information that, even though it is a little bit of a sausage
00:52:58.900
party, that I think we have a lady with the courage to step up to the microphone.
00:53:05.600
So, with that being said, yeah, I'm, okay, I said lady.
00:53:15.180
Now, with all that being said, let's welcome the one, the only, and Dr. Nate!
00:53:27.560
Also, I want to say, you're pissing me off, Pisco, but I'm going to try to say this without
00:53:40.000
Take it off, because we're recording this, so we can't use you if we can't hear, so talk
00:54:10.900
If this guy comes back, he's going to be beating his wife, beating others, and back to the bullshit.
00:54:17.040
All the trafficking, everything he's up to that, you know, is alleged, he's going to be back
00:54:25.480
I don't think, you know, I'll speak for myself, but I don't think my community wants or desires
00:54:34.020
Like, we are extremely happy for their deportations, and we are extremely happy that he can't come
00:54:45.180
I was waiting for a question like this, because this strikes at the moral perspective, not
00:54:53.100
And so, there's this air of, we can't deport people like this because it's a slippery slope
00:55:00.440
That strikes at a procedural, legal, slippery slope, a lot of things.
00:55:06.040
But it doesn't ask the moral questions a community wants answered, in that, if this
00:55:10.820
was the 1800s, they'd have thrown this motherfucker out of town, and if he came back...
00:55:18.660
They would have fucking killed this guy if he came back.
00:55:20.900
I don't want that to happen to anybody, but the point is, the way communities treat people
00:55:30.100
So, I appreciate what you're asking about the moral question.
00:55:37.320
I just want to say, because I think that's an interesting point.
00:55:40.040
I think there is a moral dimension to procedural questions, but I'm going to ignore it for
00:55:44.260
the purpose of this, because I do think that...
00:55:46.280
I don't know if you guys ever watched The Hateful Eight.
00:55:49.740
It's my favorite Tarantino movie, and one of the characters says, that's frontier justice,
00:55:54.040
and that's frontier justice, and the reason why we don't agree with that on a moral dimension
00:55:56.880
is you're just as likely, you know, you're likely to be wrong sometimes, and so here's
00:56:02.900
Is Kilmar Obrego-Gracia innocent until proven guilty of the crimes that the media is alleging him
00:56:08.080
He doesn't get to be judged by those terms, because he's not a citizen of the United States.
00:56:16.240
Do you believe that either it is the case, or it ought to be the case, that non-U.S.
00:56:21.020
citizens should not have trials for the crimes they're accused of?
00:56:24.540
I think that what you're referencing is, like, a waste of our money, so we should not be...

00:57:30.380
To bring him here, do all this bullshit, we've paid enough in Maryland, okay?
00:57:35.160
So the answer, no, you don't think non-citizens should get trials for the crimes they're accused of?
00:57:41.580
Because the issue is, should somebody who lives in this country, permanent resident,
00:57:48.200
versus an illegal immigrant adjudicated as MS-13, whose penalty is deportation?
00:57:54.720
If someone comes here and breaks the law, and the end result is going to be deportation,
00:57:59.480
how do we have a trial for them when they're gone?
00:58:01.820
Why force them to stay here if we're going to remove them anyway?
00:58:05.280
These are people who hate America, hate our community, they hate abiding by the law, they hate us,
00:58:13.120
they hate U.S. citizens, and they just mooch and mooch and mooch while literally terrorizing our community
00:58:24.500
Do you believe that an illegal immigrant should get their due process?
00:58:31.040
It means the standard legal process that is fair under the law for determining whether they're a citizen.
00:58:36.200
I think that, I think no, in that the original crime being that they came to this country illegally.
00:58:43.820
The due process I'm asking if you would accept is,
00:58:46.580
a man is walking down the street, the cops stop him,
00:58:49.160
the due process here is, we must determine if he's a citizen or not.
00:58:54.940
They should determine if he's a citizen or not.
00:59:01.880
I actually got pulled over by Border Patrol recently,
00:59:08.980
this is why I don't agree with these categorical exceptions,
00:59:13.840
now the government, just by their own discretion,
00:59:16.620
is going to put everyone they don't like in that hole.
00:59:20.820
If you have nothing to hide, you should have no fucking hate.
00:59:29.320
Being pulled over by Border Patrol shouldn't be frightening.
00:59:35.100
is our structure, our constitution, our way of life.
00:59:44.140
that the Department of Justice got on Carter Page.
00:59:49.320
Those Carter Page warrants were wrongfully obtained.
01:00:27.500
Yeah, that's four minutes for Dr. Nate, but wrap up.
01:00:30.440
If you've got a little bit more because we kind of went off just if you...
01:00:33.840
No, seriously, though, what do you say, Pisco, to the communities in Silver Spring, Gaithersburg,
01:00:39.580
these communities who have for the last 40 years been inundated with these illegal immigrants and dreamers?
01:00:48.260
Every time we give a trial to someone who's an accused rapist, an accused murderer, it costs the state and the people of Maryland a lot of money.
01:00:58.880
But the reason we do that is when we don't, we live at the discretion.
01:01:03.920
When we don't, we live at the discretion of the state.
01:01:06.180
And you shouldn't be government bootlicking shills that just trust the government to do everything you want.
01:01:10.300
And while I can agree with the government shill stuff, what I will say is it's the only thing I heard there was it's not in my fucking backyard, so I don't give a shit.
01:01:26.480
I'm going to tell you guys something I shouldn't fucking say.
01:01:30.080
We've got, I've got property in the area with MS-13 now trying to occupy it.
01:01:38.880
And so I've got these liberals who don't live here, who don't know that there are gunshots, that there are people running scared, and they're saying, bring this guy back.
01:01:52.300
The reason why I asked about due process under the law is for an illegal immigrant, if they're stopped, like you guys stopped by CBP, the law as it is now is an officer makes a determination if they're a citizen or not.
01:02:05.540
And they have expedited removal, I believe, within two years.
01:02:08.560
And I was talking to Myron Gaines about this the other day.
01:02:10.900
He says, often, we just, we lock them up, get a plane, they send them home.
01:02:18.400
We don't need a criminal trial after we say, get the fuck out.
01:02:26.380
In fact, I went and I said, J.D. Vance is a fucking liar because he says we're asking for trials.
01:02:31.600
What you just talked about, this proceeding in front of a judge, and really for expedited removal, it's usually not even default a judge.
01:02:40.740
So we're not talking here about a ton of due process.
01:02:44.840
So all we're talking about here are minimum standards.
01:02:47.580
They didn't even give a notice before they left.
01:02:50.360
They're trying to say that you can give a 24-hour notice.
01:02:52.200
You're saying freedom isn't free, but you want them to stay here on our dime.
01:03:13.600
Trump is paying El Salvador when, really, he is entitled under our own law, right?
01:03:19.700
Congress passes the Immigration Nationality Act, and it says we're going to bind the executive to these rules.
01:03:25.900
What good is it of our society if we don't follow the rules we set for ourselves?
01:03:31.340
I want to say something, and I'm curious to hear Will's response.
01:03:35.980
Let me say something, and then I want to hear Will's response to this.
01:03:56.200
They certainly did recognize when the executive would need to take actions that were considered probably extreme.
01:04:04.100
The challenge I see now is determining when we are facing an existential crisis,
01:04:09.040
and whether or not we are going to be like the Catalonians sitting on our hands like anarchists being like,
01:04:15.620
well, we're being wiped the fuck out by invaders, but let's not do anything because we have a process to deal with.
01:04:20.040
Or if we're going to step to attention and say,
01:04:22.360
I understand the moral qualms with this process, how things are being handled,
01:04:28.480
but holy shit, how do we deal with narco gangs, cartels, etc.,
01:04:32.040
when they're actively killing people, they're invading our homes.
01:04:35.460
And so the question is, at what points do these platitudes of democratic society,
01:04:48.580
holy shit, the system failed because we have been invaded?
01:04:52.980
Well, Alex, Alex, I'm going to answer his question, then you can start.
01:04:58.120
So the answer is that the Constitution provides that flexibility, right?
01:05:02.180
Like the due process that we're actually talking about here in all this context isn't really constitutional.
01:05:08.080
The withholding of removal is a grant by statute.
01:05:10.520
The Convention of Torture comes from a treaty, but it ultimately is implemented by statute.
01:05:15.540
Congress can change the law and change what due process is entitled to.
01:05:23.980
I hear this a lot, but it is not getting to the core.
01:05:35.340
I'm telling you that at a certain point, people start shooting motherfuckers.
01:05:38.180
Because when the people who live in Maryland are like,
01:05:40.440
MS-13 has shot a child in my neighborhood, they're not going to wait.
01:06:06.960
Right now, Congress cannot answer these questions for anybody, nor are the courts, nor is the
01:06:13.800
You've got people split massively across this country, near 50-50, ready to tear each other's
01:06:19.760
And the idea that Congress will change something is a pipe dream.
01:06:29.720
I mean, we might actually have a different, interesting debate about the Alien Enemies Act
01:06:33.560
Because this is where I would come back and say, what Trump is doing, the Alien Enemies Act
01:06:46.840
Well, I mean, at a certain point, like, you know, ignoring and defying the courts is something
01:06:51.960
So if the Supreme Court says, you can't do this, this Alien Enemies Act invocation is
01:06:55.300
invalid, you would say, Trump, you should disobey that?
01:06:58.240
Depends on how the, like, depends on the reasoning of the Supreme Court.
01:07:00.380
If they say, if they say, the president, you know, we don't get to change your facts,
01:07:07.020
If they use that logic, I actually think that should be defied.
01:07:09.780
I don't think that the Supreme Court should have the authority to, like, determine what a
01:07:13.120
I think that's such an obvious encroachment on it.
01:07:14.760
So the answer is, Trump should defy the Supreme Court if they...
01:07:19.500
I am at the point where when Democrats called for packing the Supreme Court, I agreed with
01:07:23.460
When Democrats arrested lawyers, I agreed with them.
01:07:26.440
What bullshit you agreed with the Dems back in the court?
01:07:48.440
I said, fuck yeah, we do when Trump wins, baby!
01:08:03.400
I know, because you're an African-American woman.
01:08:16.320
It's awkward because I stand here also known as the only black woman watching TimCast.
01:08:26.880
So when you overdose on opioids, do you struggle for life like this?
01:08:37.980
Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:08:46.360
I encourage you to listen to the testimony of Dr. Tobin, who was the pulmonary cardiologist in that case.
01:08:57.520
And when you die of a dose like that, it's like you're falling into a sleep.
01:09:05.420
I just want to say, Derek Chauvin showed up after Floyd was already on the ground and engaged in a hold that he was trained to by the Minneapolis Police Department.
01:09:16.740
The prosecution actually argued on the continuum of force he was entitled to use more force than he used.
01:09:28.760
So to be clear, were they justified if they wanted to shoot him in the head?
01:09:36.100
So would you say that that application was deadly force?
01:09:41.800
So after George Floyd stops struggling for his life because he's dead, is the application of force still justified after he's literally devoid of life?
01:09:55.420
You're saying it was justified to use that hold indefinitely.
01:10:04.120
Would they be justified to use that hold indefinitely?
01:10:10.680
We're talking about kneeling on somebody after the fact.
01:10:18.660
There's of course degrees on a continuum of use of force.
01:10:28.660
I would argue it is fair to get him on some kind of negligent charge.
01:10:37.700
He just said you should get him on a negligent charge.
01:10:39.400
What I love about this guy is that he will take any more so he can get and turn it into a fucking apocalypse.
01:10:46.620
Hey, since you are an attorney, you know that he has what is called qualified immunity so that he can...
01:10:54.240
Why did the guy who simply held back the crowd go to prison?
01:10:57.680
Qualified immunity applies to civil damages cases, not to criminal matters.
01:11:00.640
Why did the man who was simply holding back the crowd go to prison?
01:11:09.060
First of all, you agree that you should have charged Chauvin with a crime.
01:11:27.120
The guy in the beanie come up that's been going crazy.
01:11:35.460
Guys, we only have a certain amount of time left, so we need to get this show on the
01:11:38.300
road so we can get as many people up here to debate.
01:11:41.400
So I don't understand, like, why you're arguing to people in a community that they should bring
01:11:55.460
You're on the side that kills children, 50 million babies in the last 50 fucking years,
01:12:01.380
325,000 children fucking sex traffic, fucking 50,000 little girls had their...
01:12:09.080
Because of the way your party fucking votes, you're leading us to a path that only leads
01:12:24.760
So you just raise a bunch of different issues that are not topical, abortion, trans issues,
01:12:29.760
and basically, like, you're doing anything, right?
01:12:35.000
And I can tell to distract from the issue at hand, which is, is this just, and should it
01:12:40.960
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:12:43.160
I want to, point, point of order, point of order, point of order.
01:12:46.620
Gish, gish gallop does not apply when we actually tell him he gets one minute unfettered to make
01:12:51.640
Well, it could still, wait, you could still get your minute.
01:12:54.700
You still get, you still get your, you still get your minute, but I'm just telling you,
01:13:00.920
The issue isn't, so would you agree that Kilmar, Abedero Garcia, has the right to a presumption
01:13:07.320
of innocence of the people who are accusing him of crimes, yes or no?
01:13:10.160
Why are you continuing to argue positions that will bring society to violence?
01:13:15.700
So do we, should there be a presumption of innocence, yes or no?
01:13:24.360
Why do you want American citizens to pay more fucking money to bring him back to deport
01:13:37.660
Like, if you're an illegal alien, you fucking don't.
01:13:51.260
You look like you're about to blow a fucking gas.
01:13:52.480
You look like you're going to blow a fucking gas.
01:13:53.540
Don't listen to those libtards or that libtard.
01:13:57.680
I grew up with a loud family, so eight or seven is my regular.
01:14:06.600
Okay, then the fucking Biden administration shouldn't have let 20 fucking million illegals
01:14:13.200
So should we follow the constitution or not, sir?
01:14:17.600
Okay, so if the constitution, so you just said, he just said we should follow the constitution.
01:14:22.440
If the constitution says that these people do get due process rights, should we follow
01:14:31.840
So you don't think we should follow the constitution when you decide?
01:14:34.980
How about asking me why on my opinions instead of just fucking assuming like every fucking
01:14:44.060
And then the next thing I asked him, I said, if it says that these people should get rights
01:14:52.320
Because I think I know exactly what you're saying when you brought up Biden letting in
01:14:57.700
As Bill Ackman stated, a country that lets in 20 million people unvetted, but then cannot
01:15:05.860
An untenable- Listen, I want due process for everybody.
01:15:12.520
I am scared and confused right now because we have an untenable situation with immigration
01:15:22.780
So when you come out and say, we are now shackled to a system that will kill our country,
01:15:29.040
I say, I don't know that anyone will accept that.
01:15:31.420
All we can do is tell the left to stop because you're leading us towards violence.
01:15:41.240
Every one of your arguments is wrong and full of every fucking logical fallacy we could
01:15:48.420
Stop arguing for fucking destroying our country.
01:15:53.440
The people who are destroying this country, the people who are destroying this country are
01:15:57.920
the bootlicking shills, the bootlicking shills who just trust the government, who just trust
01:16:04.860
Listen, like fucking Democrats with the Biden administration.
01:16:09.400
No, you guys didn't criticize a single fucking thing they did.
01:16:13.780
No one in this room trusted the government under the Biden administration.
01:16:20.480
So the point is when you say they're bootlicking shills, it's every four years.
01:16:24.100
The Democrats say you're a bootlicking shill, then four years later, they're the bootlicking
01:16:28.120
So just to be clear, the reason why we want to follow the Constitution, even if there are
01:16:32.440
people you don't like, and you can raise a lot of stink about people you don't like
01:16:35.360
and why we should break the law to go after them, is we don't trust in the next four years
01:16:41.420
You're not going to get a president, whoever the fucking worst leftist is that you think.
01:16:44.860
And now that you've made a road to the Constitution, you've made a road for your own back,
01:16:48.400
and they're going to come after you, and they're going to attack your first-man rights.
01:16:52.160
We will erode whenever we have to, to stop you, because you've been eroding it for centuries.
01:16:58.320
So the real enemies are those who would tell you to give up your country, give up the
01:17:03.140
You took our fucking country with the Biden administration.
01:17:08.580
This is why I brought up the question before to hear Will.
01:17:17.620
That's why I wanted to hear what he had to say about it.
01:17:22.560
When I was young, I despised the Bush administration.
01:17:26.280
Obama came in, and, you know, before he did, I was like, everyone's telling me it's going
01:17:30.160
Then, boy, that motherfucker killed a lot of people, and spied on people, and the National
01:17:34.220
Defense Authorization Act, indefinite detention provision.
01:17:42.480
And for the most part, I'm like, I don't care for this shit.
01:17:44.340
Then the Democrats started losing their fucking minds with DEI and weird fucking shit.
01:17:50.760
And then Trump, in 2020, said, I got no new wars.
01:17:53.820
I'm setting up a timeline for withdrawal from Afghanistan.
01:17:55.760
I'm getting rid of DEI and government contracting.
01:17:59.920
But what did they do to the man for those four years?
01:18:02.940
They accused him of being a traitor to this country.
01:18:05.100
Then, after this, they started arresting his lawyers.
01:18:09.120
They claim that a misdemeanor charge, which arguably could be a single count, was 34 felonies.
01:18:14.580
They create a new law in New York so that a woman can say, 30 years ago, he sexually abused me.
01:18:20.420
I wore a dress from the future, and I had a magic key to open the door.
01:18:23.480
And I'm sitting here watching numerous Trump lawyers get arrested.
01:18:27.200
Now we're in the Trump administration, and they're begging me, please, please, stick to decorum.
01:18:48.160
I'm Nicholas Steinbrecher, lost and found on Discord, also representing the Jamcast Discord.
01:18:56.380
All right, now our next debater, their name is Cash.
01:19:04.880
No, I mean, I don't agree with them, obviously.
01:19:07.920
Yeah, right, like, he's a little more aggressive than I would be.
01:19:11.740
But I think my substantive point would be that, like, much of your argument is, like, we really need to not open Pandora's box.
01:19:17.220
And I would just say, I think Pandora's box has been opened pretty darn widely.
01:19:35.900
Grab the mic and hold it up so we can hear you.
01:19:43.540
I mean, I can read out, like, the amendment that says that people have the rights to due
01:19:47.600
process, regardless if you are a illegal or a citizen.
01:19:51.160
I think that just needs to be cleared up first, that Pisco is the pro-Constitution person here.
01:19:55.320
Every single person, I heard them screaming in the room saying, illegal immigrants don't
01:19:59.520
That is against the Constitution, just to clarify that first.
01:20:02.100
Second of all, I also think it's important to acknowledge that I trust the U.S. government
01:20:06.220
more so with processing someone that we'd all agree is probably a bad guy, Kilmar Abrego
01:20:10.320
Garcia, than some random, you know, prison in El Salvador.
01:20:13.540
I think we have a good justice system, as many of you guys might disagree.
01:20:17.060
It's crazy to me that you guys disagree with the six Republican Supreme Court justices that
01:20:26.580
And I don't know what you guys would be saying.
01:20:29.020
If AOC becomes president and all of a sudden says that the January Sixers are a bigger threat
01:20:34.100
to this country than the illegal immigrants, then deports them with no due process, you
01:20:50.560
And then these criminal terrorist insurrectionist thugs got let out by the criminal in the
01:20:57.960
I would just like to ask a procedural question to our lawyer friends here.
01:21:01.020
If evidence is denied to the accused parties, is that due process?
01:21:07.100
It would be a violation of due process, but it wasn't actually denied.
01:21:15.500
It's a whole doctrine on Brady that would apply, and so I would need to know the specific
01:21:20.240
So, what did we have, 44,000 hours of footage, not, that, that, that, this was a lie, and
01:21:28.140
So, wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, go for it, Will.
01:21:31.960
Okay, the actual real, like, the best argument about the failure of due process in the J6 cases
01:21:37.320
was the fact that change of venue motions got denied.
01:21:40.940
There's no excuse that any of these trials happened in D.C.
01:21:48.120
You committed the crime in a place, you do the time there, you do the trial there.
01:21:50.700
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I thought you cared about fair trials.
01:21:54.460
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:21:59.700
So, doesn't the Constitution specify, doesn't the Constitution, doesn't the Constitution specify
01:22:05.580
that there is a venue provision that when you committed a crime, it shall be tried in the
01:22:10.400
Yeah, but that venue is not defeated by due process and the right to a fair trial.
01:22:13.980
So, there's a presumption, there's a presumption that a jury is able to put aside their bias,
01:22:20.800
What happens if a black defendant is facing a jury of all white and, like, the prosecutors
01:22:35.440
No, I'm saying it's a high burden to show that it's racially, you know, unconstitutional.
01:22:39.800
I mean, you see, like, if you look at the polling, I want to make this point, because
01:22:44.160
this is, I think, the key issue, which I think liberals allied all the time.
01:22:47.860
You look at the polling on, like, for example, whether liberal parents would be happy if their
01:22:52.160
child came home with a conservative partner to marry.
01:22:55.260
And, in fact, in general, this number is higher than in a world where, like, than cross-racial.
01:23:02.160
Like, the way that there's polarization in this country between Republicans and Democrats, which
01:23:05.720
is literally demonstrated by this room, and also a lot of, like, the things,
01:23:08.080
intemperate things you've said about, like, the people in this room, is demonstrating
01:23:12.000
that there's not a jury of your peers, and the J-6ers didn't get fair trials.
01:23:17.620
Is it due process if the prosecution uses information from after the trial happened to
01:23:22.880
seek a greater sentence on the individual, based on speech of the individual?
01:23:29.920
As to whether or not you have regret, whether or not you – there are factors of sentencing
01:23:33.600
that you're able to – you know, that the judge has discretion to weigh.
01:23:42.380
So, Shkreli – and this is actually – you know, I think Shkreli can be funny sometimes.
01:23:45.620
But he, like, talks shit about Hillary Clinton when he did – he had his trial or something.
01:23:49.360
And then the judge, like, yeah, sentences him more.
01:23:51.260
Now, you might disagree with that, but it just is the case that judges are allowed a great deal
01:23:55.240
of discretion at sentencing, and that's our system.
01:23:56.940
Okay, can I introduce kind of a new topic a little bit?
01:23:59.100
Because I feel like we're going to delve down the –
01:24:08.480
I think that Pisco hinted at – and I was kind of talking about this in my opening speech – is that
01:24:12.940
what's important to recognize here is that it sets a precedent.
01:24:17.120
I think we should also talk about Mahmoud Khalil.
01:24:20.420
There was a guy that was in our grad department that got deported for supporting Palestine.
01:24:26.780
I just want to hear the conservatives here that if AOC gets elected and designates Israel
01:24:31.480
as a terrorist state and starts deporting a bunch of pro-Israel people – I'm Jewish.
01:24:36.020
I'd be afraid that you conservatives have opened the floodgates for free speech to be completely
01:24:46.920
If you manage to get AOC to be president and she, in her bizarre wisdom – I mean,
01:25:00.400
Like, if we think the IDF is a terrorist organization, you manage to classify it as such, and then you
01:25:05.540
say Israelis who advocated on behalf of the IDF, she would have the authority to do so under
01:25:11.140
She has the authority to give them due process.
01:25:15.860
So, I would argue that a large – I don't know the exact numbers, but the Trump base is
01:25:21.920
split between anti-interventionist, bye-bye Israel, and pro-Israel.
01:25:25.960
There's a lot of people who are pro-Israel, but when the argument you make about the conservatives,
01:25:29.780
you're going to find a lot of them are more like conservatarian, being like, yeah, I don't
01:25:40.520
I mean, I guess I'll – you know, the fundamental answer is I'm happy with the Khalil deportation.
01:25:51.440
I think people that rioted the Capitol hate this country more than someone criticizing
01:25:56.660
All the people on green card that destroyed the Capitol should be deported immediately.
01:26:04.540
Some of them are not citizens that destroyed the Capitol.
01:26:15.380
And that is – the State Department has the discretion just to say, we revoke your visa.
01:26:20.900
Is there a specific criteria by which you think they're required?
01:26:27.820
I mean, honestly, the Secretary of State – I mean, there's a provision that was used in
01:26:31.720
this case, which is the Secretary of State said, this guy's continued presence in the
01:26:34.980
country is damaging to American foreign policy.
01:26:41.780
This will be slow, but I just think that's the law.
01:26:43.260
President AOC in 2029 says, Stephen Crowder, you are a guest in this country.
01:26:55.700
Viva Fry better start enjoying poutine again because he's got to go back – I said he's
01:26:59.560
got to enjoy poutine again because he's got to go back to Canada.
01:27:03.300
Under that framework, Will, just a quick question.
01:27:05.120
The first thing that relates to speech, it also relates to the religion clauses.
01:27:08.480
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free
01:27:12.500
So under that discretion, can the State Department say Muslims, as a general rule, are damaging,
01:27:18.240
prejudicial to our foreign policy interests, and then we're going to get rid of them?
01:27:21.900
That's an interesting question because I'm not sure there's a statutory – I mean, I
01:27:27.720
guess you could make an – I haven't really thought about that one.
01:27:29.380
The question is, it doesn't matter what the INA says if it violates a right like the
01:27:35.760
There's just not a First Amendment defense to removal.
01:27:40.260
We defend the right to speak on foreign issues.
01:27:42.060
I do really like this question because it also strikes at how do we define religion
01:27:47.280
And if we're dealing with terrorist organizations, would we allow them to use religion as a shield
01:27:53.840
for their extremist ideologies or do we separate that legally?
01:27:57.660
Because that also – I mean, if religion – free practice of religion, then it's like
01:28:02.040
you can't – I mean, maybe supporting a terrorist organization as a core religious belief.
01:28:07.060
But just to be clear, so you're opening the door – is it Caleb, sorry?
01:28:12.640
As Cash said, if you're going to allow this big room, this big hole in the First Amendment
01:28:16.640
for certain speech in favor of Hamas, now you're opening the door for, okay, if you're
01:28:21.260
a Christian and you're not a citizen, we can deport you just because you're a Christian.
01:28:27.680
I want to say to you what you said, just to answer your question, you said, if President
01:28:32.800
AOC – what you described, most people feel happened already with Biden.
01:28:42.960
Yeah, but it's – okay, I feel that you're all wrong.
01:28:50.680
You said, how would you feel if AOC became president and designated the group?
01:28:55.480
What I'm trying to point out is the hypocrisy here that, of course, if AOC started deporting
01:28:59.620
And what I'm pointing out is the circumstance you described already happened.
01:29:04.100
There were Israeli advocates of, like, who were opposed to the two-bank solution, and Biden
01:29:10.860
Denying a visa is different than someone already in the country.
01:29:17.460
You're talking about – you're making a false equivalency.
01:29:22.560
Don't keep saying lying when you say I'm a false equivalency.
01:29:25.220
You're intentionally misrepresenting a case for political points.
01:29:29.440
He could just be wrong, or he could just disagree with him.
01:29:35.840
Let me tell you a story, and I want to hear your reaction to it.
01:29:42.800
Several hours after the event of January 6th, they were in D.C.
01:29:48.820
They walked up on the backside of the Capitol where there was no violence and nothing was going on.
01:29:59.120
They walked into the building and looked around taking pictures and walked out after about three or four minutes.

01:31:10.860
Is that they now have due process, and they're going to go through.
01:31:17.220
My point was, what you describe about AOC going after people happened to people who bumbled upon the Capitol not knowing what was going on.
01:31:26.260
If AOC took that case and just deported them instead of getting due process, would you be more mad?
01:31:35.880
If Donald Trump sends American citizens to the seat, I'll be mad.
01:31:38.380
Well, he says he wants to be, you agree he said he wants to do that, right?
01:31:43.920
And it should never happen, and I will always be mad.
01:31:52.440
You won't because you're beholden to the administration.
01:31:53.860
Do you condemn him or you're going to see it for beating his wife?
01:31:56.380
I want to try to help people understand things.
01:32:00.380
Piers Morgan asked me the other day, if Joe Biden did the things Trump did, would you praise him for it?
01:32:12.100
And I said, the issue is that Donald Trump largely represents my moral worldview, which means I'm tolerant of his failings.
01:32:18.540
So morals mean you can violate the Constitution?
01:32:22.240
You're saying your morals, your subjective morals can violate the Constitution.
01:32:27.300
Joe Biden largely represents things that are antithetical to my worldviews.
01:32:31.480
This is not about whether or not someone could violate the Constitution, because I already told you, Trump sending Americans to CECOT is a bad thing.
01:32:39.720
Okay, so you condemn him for violating the Constitution.
01:32:48.580
We are talking about if he were to do something, not did he do something.
01:32:52.600
If he already did something, we're asking you to condemn that.
01:32:54.520
If Donald Trump sent American citizens to CECOT, I would condemn him for that.
01:32:58.520
But he said he wants to do it, so do you condemn that?
01:33:05.440
Donald Trump should be criminally investigated for the killing of Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki's little sister in Yemen.
01:33:10.900
He gets no free passes from me, but we don't know for sure.
01:33:18.340
My response is accusations warrant investigation.
01:33:23.000
And yet, when it comes to Trump administration officials and their misconduct, like Signalgate, for example,
01:33:34.520
With all due respect, with all due respect, with respect to your statements on Signalgate,
01:33:39.020
and for time, I just don't, I understand Signalgate, but I don't think it rises to,
01:33:46.780
Trump has been accused of murdering a 7-year-old American girl.
01:33:50.040
Obama admitted that his administration killed a 16-year-old American citizen.
01:33:54.640
I don't want to muddy that with Signalgate because there's such a substantive difference.
01:33:57.480
Wait, Tim, I think you got sidetracked from your point on Piers Morgan, though.
01:34:00.620
Why do you think that it's okay if Joe Biden does terrorists, but Trump doesn't?
01:34:11.760
No, no, it's called, listen, Donald Trump wants to secure our borders.
01:34:17.860
Donald Trump wants to enforce the law that I think should be enforced properly.
01:34:22.200
Joe Biden was advocating for child sterilization, okay, child sex change operations, I think are pure evil.
01:34:29.880
Joe Biden took classified documents with him, and it's explicitly stated it was because he wanted to write a book that he could sell.
01:34:36.280
And then he complied with the FBI when they asked him for it.
01:34:38.400
Guess what Trump didn't do when he had documents?
01:34:40.160
And his ghostwriter destroyed the evidence, worried that it was something wrong.
01:34:46.520
You and everybody else in this country has a moral worldview.
01:34:50.420
It is the utmost naivete to say, no, I don't, I'm on principle.
01:34:56.640
Yeah, but that doesn't respond to, all right, come on, calm down.
01:35:00.320
What you're saying doesn't really respond to what I'm asking.
01:35:02.780
If you have morals, are some of those morals to say, not fuck up the economy with tariffs or violate the Constitution?
01:35:10.520
I'm not pro-universal tariffs the way Trump did.
01:35:14.420
Just to clarify, I watched that Piers Morgan thing.
01:35:16.740
You said Trump handled the, you know, he asked about the economy doing bad, and then you were like, yeah, if Joe Biden did the exact same thing, I wouldn't defend it.
01:35:24.420
What you're saying does not answer that question at all.
01:35:29.520
The simplest way I can do it without going into, like, I don't know, the Qatar Turkey pipeline, the Suez Canal, the Crimea, and all of the things we can talk about with Michael Zalczewski, Biden's actions overseas.
01:35:43.600
I'll just keep it surface level and as simple as possible.
01:35:53.660
Now, do you want me to give you a one-hour essay thesis on everything Joe Biden did that I think was criminal, wrong, and he's going to jail for it?
01:36:01.280
I'm trying to avoid doing that by saying very simply, what Donald Trump represents morally, as for America, is much more in line with my worldview.
01:36:10.180
I can get into great detail on the Burisma scandal, if you want me to, or Tony Bobulinski, or Devin Archer.
01:36:17.320
We don't have that much time because you're going to kick him off stage.
01:36:24.640
But I absolutely could, for the sake of time, I will just say this.
01:36:28.040
Trump, in my opinion, universal tariffs doesn't make sense.
01:36:32.200
I am skeptical of it, but I am largely biased in favor of Trump's moral worldview and hopeful that his administration has a plan that will bear out positively.
01:36:42.600
That being said, I'm not entirely sure universal tariffs do.
01:36:46.260
Selective tariffs, I'm a big fan of because I believe, being a manufacturer of skateboards, I can tell you directly as an industry, how free trade destroyed an industry and destroyed people's lives.
01:36:59.700
And now, Joe Biden, with all the things he's done that I think are bad, were he to enact universal tariffs, I do not trust him because I believe him to be an amoral crackpot, so I would not give him the benefit of the doubt.
01:37:12.060
So what you're saying is that you cannot acknowledge when something is bad just because the person might have a good intention?
01:37:17.040
I literally said the tariffs were done poorly, and that I'm skeptical of them.
01:37:21.300
You said you support universal tariffs, but when Biden does what you don't.
01:37:37.480
Now, is the transgender, do you have balls enough to come up here yet?
01:37:46.200
You don't get to come here and not say something.
01:37:55.680
There's a certain amount of no's we'll respect.
01:38:14.700
So I want to go ahead and I want to go to your point, Alex.
01:38:23.280
We forgot about that and about all the money that was spent through all the illegal immigrants.
01:38:28.020
As soon as they came in, they had a bunch of, I don't know if there's a bunch of cards with money on them, but I was at the airport, I believe it was last year, and I had somebody walk up to me, and he was an immigrant, and he said, and he talked to me in Spanish, and I knew a little bit of Spanish, but he gave me a bunch of, oh, here we go.
01:38:47.720
He gave me a bunch of cash, and was like, hey, can you help me get to New York?
01:38:57.120
But he had a wad of cash, and he had a backpack on his thing, and he had this app on his phone.
01:39:09.140
Anyways, so to my point, you said to close the border, right?
01:39:14.600
But how do you get with the president before that, that sabotaged our own country, and sabotaged our borders, allowing all these other people to come in, and now you're telling the other president that, no, you have to follow some sort of standard.
01:39:35.260
People will use these examples, and first of all, let's be clear.
01:39:42.060
And one of the reasons why these people are giving benefits at all is because oftentimes they don't have authorization to work, okay?
01:39:49.620
When you're applying for asylum, you can get an EAD, but you have to wait a certain amount of time before you-
01:39:56.400
You have to wait a certain amount of time before you can apply for EAD.
01:39:59.060
And so in the interim, you're literally making it illegal for this person to-
01:40:05.820
So you're saying 20 million people crossed the border illegal and have entered into the country.
01:40:16.520
So it calculates border crossings that some of them are multiple times, and I just don't think it's a true estimate.
01:40:23.180
But not everybody is a beneficiary of those programs.
01:40:26.560
On net, once you give them EADs, these people are putting money into our entitlements.
01:40:31.600
Literally, they're given tax numbers so that they can pay into things like Social Security and Medicare, and they are never going to get those benefits from those.
01:40:41.320
So when you let them work, and I'm not saying that I agree with illegal immigration.
01:40:47.840
But it's just a function of the fact that otherwise these people are going to be like, I don't know, dying on the street.
01:40:51.600
Now, remember when we came on to your show in Scrapjaw, and he was talking about how he went over to Springfield, Ohio, right?
01:40:59.780
And there was a bunch of issues, not necessarily what we thought was the problem, which was people were eating dogs and cats, whatever.
01:41:06.680
But he was talking about how there were a bunch of immigrants that had money that were paying for cars that didn't have licenses, that didn't have insurance on these vehicles, and they were wrecking these vehicles.
01:41:18.620
Now, the problem was, those vehicles, he would take them back to his, not to his shop, but like the yard where they tow, right?
01:41:35.580
So what exactly are we supposed to do when we have a president beforehand that caused all of these issues, and now we have to pay for that?
01:41:44.440
But it's also a function of we don't have the capacity to solve that.
01:41:48.020
Like, the manpower, the labor, and the resources to rectify all those problems.
01:41:51.520
But we do have the capacity for like a trillion dollars in tax cuts.
01:41:54.820
Whoa, whoa, whoa, those are two different things.
01:41:58.640
So to be clear, like, we say that we don't have the capacity, but these, you know, terrorists that you say you don't agree with, they've wiped out a ton of wealth in this country.
01:42:07.800
And the poll numbers, his economic approval ratings are going down for...
01:42:11.060
I feel like you're dodging the question entirely.
01:42:13.440
Let's assume that everything you're saying in terms of what the previous administration did was wrong, illegal, immoral, however you want to say it.
01:42:20.820
Why is illegal immigration wrong, can I ask you?
01:42:24.560
Well, can you do the same thing and do another country?
01:42:29.040
No, you can't, but why is it wrong for someone to come into the country legally?
01:42:33.800
Oh, well, you see, well, exactly, because, hold on, hold on, guys, hold on, guys.
01:42:44.960
There's only 7,500 people that lived there, and there were tens of thousands that just overran that entire island.
01:42:51.460
Look at what's going on in the U.K. with all the stabbings.
01:42:54.020
Look at what's going on in Canada with all the issues that are going on.
01:42:57.600
So I'm hearing crime, I'm hearing economic considerations, I'm hearing fiscal impact.
01:43:04.500
So Trump, for instance, has said he wants immigration.
01:43:13.480
And in this country, we have really low unemployment, record low unemployment, even now.
01:43:18.900
So the jobs report that we just got was better than expected.
01:43:22.800
So there's a labor shortage in this country in terms of the economic impact.
01:43:27.600
And Trump wants to bring in – Trump has said that he wants to give green cards to people who complete university in this country.
01:43:35.360
So he's – at least as Trump says it, he's okay with immigration.
01:43:40.340
So if your problem – I just want to finish the point, then I'll let you guys go.
01:43:43.780
If your problem with immigration at bottom is that it's illegal and disorderly, then your problem is the illegality.
01:43:51.300
And therefore, you should be just against illegal actions by the states.
01:43:55.280
So let me answer why illegal immigration should be illegal, right?
01:44:02.960
It's – illegal immigration is when you come to this country outside of our laws for properly managing influx of new people.
01:44:09.600
The reason why we made it illegal – I can give you a real-world example, which is Sweden, for instance.
01:44:14.540
A lot of these countries are bringing a lot of immigrants in because of their low fertility rates.
01:44:18.380
It's going to cause labor shortages and economic crises.
01:44:21.440
In the 90s, Sweden brought in a bunch of – I believe it was Somali refugees.
01:44:29.020
And this is not to say that they were forced to.
01:44:32.500
What ended up happening was the refugees that came in legally were told, best of luck, welcome to Sweden.
01:44:39.980
They formed enclaves incidentally, not intentionally.
01:44:42.980
People want to live next to each other because it's familiar, it's easy.
01:44:46.340
And if you're going to get a job and provide a service in your community, speaking the language makes it a lot easier.
01:44:50.420
After 20 years, this resulted in a very serious cultural problem.
01:44:54.320
The children of these refugees were considered Swedes, but in their home country, they were not considered Somali.
01:45:03.260
They had no home to go to, but the Swedish native population would not give them jobs or opportunity.
01:45:09.860
They created areas of the country that were, I guess I'd say, skeptical of the outside authority.
01:45:20.420
There was a grenade thrown in, I believe it was 2017, onto a balcony that killed an eight-year-old British tourist.
01:45:26.580
The culture that grew in these communities was entirely separate and isolated from the Swedish community because they were not properly brought in.
01:45:34.780
And so, why do we make it, we want more legal immigration?
01:45:39.460
We want to make sure when people do come here legally, because we do have a labor shortage and a fertility crisis,
01:45:43.520
they come in a timely and orderly manner where we can track where they're going, which communities can handle them and which cannot.
01:45:51.320
But when, let's say, even a million people come across the border unchecked and we don't know where they're going,
01:45:57.320
this can result in, I should call it, intercommunal violence.
01:46:01.960
So, you run into conflicts like whether or not the story of cats being eaten is true.
01:46:06.280
You get the local population in Springfield, Ohio were, were, were livid complaining about this.
01:46:12.120
Or you end up with, when I went to Sweden, one of the most fascinating things that I saw was local Swedish guy,
01:46:18.180
who I think was in his 20s, told me he was terrified to go to these neighborhoods because he would be murdered.
01:46:25.140
And I freely walked about these neighborhoods with no issue.
01:46:27.980
But there was still a fear of interracial and interreligious conflict because of a lack of assimilation and integration.
01:46:34.800
So, for economic reasons, for cultural reasons, and to preserve the moral traditions of our country,
01:46:40.260
our democratic values we do think are important, we say, guys, one at a time, right this way, please don't cheat.
01:46:46.540
Yeah, but the problem there is, so, there's a reason we have these laws.
01:46:50.080
These laws are in place for some of the policy reasons that you've outlined.
01:46:54.080
And the problem is when you violate that, that's, you're, you're both filing the law, but you're infringing on America's sovereignty, right?
01:47:00.220
America passed these laws through our methods, democratically, and it's an expression of American will that says,
01:47:05.540
these amount of people can come here and no further, right?
01:47:07.920
You can apply for, you know, a green card under these conditions, but not, the other conditions.
01:47:14.920
But aren't you arguing that we need to increase legal immigration, right?
01:47:18.020
Your, your, his argument was, here's all the problems of immigration.
01:47:20.720
You're like, well, if you only have a problem of illegal immigration, then we should just make more of it legal.
01:47:25.960
Well, what I'm saying, what I'm presenting to him is, is that Donald Trump has said that there are a lot of benefits to legal immigration,
01:47:34.360
that legal immigration would benefit the economy, that we do want these people, right?
01:47:37.700
So, and so I, I take it as a given that you agree with Trump on that, and that you agree with his policy, like, rationale on that.
01:47:43.460
And so it seems to me, like, the biggest problem that people have here is, they're cutting the line.
01:47:47.940
They're doing something they're not supposed to be doing.
01:47:48.760
Well, and then I'm paying taxes, you have a two-tier justice system.
01:47:50.940
Okay, we only have time for one more guy, so great job, T-Bone.
01:47:54.320
The guy in the suit, I know the guy in the suit's been wanting to be here all night, okay?
01:48:02.400
We only have a limited amount of time, unless you guys want to do one more after this.
01:48:05.660
But say your name, and you got your one minute start.
01:48:08.200
My name is Andy, and thanks so much for giving me the opportunity.
01:48:11.540
I wanted to address what Tim said regarding the existential crisis of it all, and the relations
01:48:17.320
of the Alien Enemies Acts, and whether or not that's being applied far enough with Venezuela.
01:48:24.560
I'm going to make some seemingly wild claims, because this stuff hasn't been reported yet.
01:48:28.440
But as far as Venezuela's role, the World Social Forums on Migration were eight global conferences
01:48:36.580
since 2005 that planned the weaponization of migration against the West.
01:48:42.840
Sponsored by Venezuela and Cuba, they essentially organized and networked the NGOs and groups
01:48:52.580
So whether or not immigrants are Venezuelan or not, since Venezuelan proxies...

By the definition of the OAS and the U.S. Congress helped facilitate the transfer of these immigrants.
01:50:26.360
Aren't all immigrants that came in as a result of a hybrid war effort, alien enemies and enemy combatants?
01:50:37.380
No, the alien enemies act allows you to designate like a foreign country and then only citizens only...

Bro, do you think I just said that invasion isn't in the statute?

01:51:03.240
What I'm saying is that you have to designate a country that it's a...
01:51:13.520
You know, you can deport, detain, and send out people of that country, citizens of that country,
01:51:24.620
So the proclamation that Trump issued only applies to Venezuelan nationals by definition.
01:51:31.240
What I'm arguing is that other immigrants, by virtue of whether they're Venezuelan or
01:51:37.180
not, are playing a part as weapons in Venezuela's hybrid war against the United States.
01:51:43.260
So then you'd have to designate every country as being part of the invasion?
01:51:50.760
So when Trump wants to say that the whole world is invading us, and issue a proclamation
01:51:56.320
I mean, I think the problem is that's so attenuated from the underlying...
01:52:01.800
And also, it would swallow up every other part of immigration law.
01:52:05.420
You could deport anyone here legally or illegally for any reason.
01:52:12.240
I don't even know if we actually disagree that much.
01:52:15.480
I guess we probably disagree on whether or not there is a predatory incursion.
01:52:17.920
Deport everybody, even Americans, white people, Christians.
01:52:25.420
If the Supreme Court were to uphold Trump's power under the Alien Enemies Act in this
01:52:30.580
case, he could deport any Venezuelan, whether they're here legally or not.
01:52:34.520
So if they're here legally, you could get rid of them, too.
01:52:36.520
The Alien Enemies Act is a very powerful ability for the administration to get rid of any alien.
01:52:43.560
I do think that, just real quick, we can interpret however the powers that be interpret.
01:52:50.600
I mean, whoever's in charge interprets it the way they want, they enforce it the way
01:52:54.080
And I really do feel like, whenever we have these debates, and I feel it's a lot on the
01:52:57.940
culture war, I'm like, we're sitting here acting like we don't understand these laws
01:53:05.980
Two different sides, three different sides, different political factions, all saying, no,
01:53:10.820
And it's really, at its core, my moral worldview would be this, no, my moral worldview would
01:53:17.260
be this, and the law is less material to the argument.
01:53:21.540
Let's say that I cede the fact that, okay, it applies only to Venezuela.
01:53:26.600
Well, then all of their proxies, which, again, you can demonstrate that these groups that facilitated
01:53:31.940
migration are, under U.S. and OAS definitions, proxies of foreign enemy states, shouldn't they
01:53:44.300
They're acting as proxies of foreign governments and not stating it.
01:53:48.060
Seditious conspiracy, Rico, since this is a hybrid war that carries all 12 dimensions of the hybrid
01:53:53.860
I shared some research beforehand, and I hope you...
01:53:58.480
So if you have specific evidence that they're failing to register and engage in some kind
01:54:02.140
of lobbying effort, and that you can point to specific individuals, I guess, FARO also
01:54:07.320
applies not just to other countries, but to foreign principles.
01:54:11.160
One of the reasons why we should have the Burisma conversation at some point is that Burisma would
01:54:14.340
be considered a foreign principle under FARO, and that's one of the issues of the Hunter
01:54:18.040
And so I can see a cognizable case if you can show me the evidence that the specific individuals
01:54:23.300
involved should, you know, are failing to register as foreign agents.
01:54:25.800
Uh, citizensintelligence.net has a downloadable PDF with 600 sources, about 150 pages long,
01:54:40.400
Pigs are considered sacred there because this is, like, mining your own pig coin.
01:54:47.580
So they pull the top teeth so the pig's tusks continue to curl.
01:54:51.640
And if you got a pig with a triple-curled tusk, it costs somebody a pig just to take a look at it.
01:54:58.460
There's a YouTube thing called Vanuatu's Piggy Bank that's, like, a 15-minute Australian special.
01:55:07.880
The guy with the sunglasses in the back, well, you've been looking at me all night.
01:55:21.200
I can already tell this guy's going to be weird.
01:55:35.980
But if an illegal immigrant were to come here, would they have the constitutional right, like, Second Amendment rights to buy firearms?
01:55:47.520
When it refers to persons and when it refers to citizens.
01:55:54.240
I mean, and it could be an issue of how they've changed...
01:55:57.520
Like, when the Fourth Amendment was made, it draws a distinction between the rights of persons and the rights of citizens.
01:56:01.900
But I would also add, that creates an abortion issue for you if you do accept that argument.
01:56:05.940
I'm not actually sure either of you are right about this.
01:56:10.700
Yeah, so it's the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
01:56:14.560
And other parts of the Constitution, including the requirements for president, to run for president, the requirements for Congress, it refers to U.S. citizens.
01:56:20.460
And in the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment, which is what he was referencing, it refers to...
01:56:25.720
But, clearly, under current law, we have a lot of restrictions on aliens and what they can say that would infringe the First Amendment if applied to citizens.
01:56:34.520
Like, even espousing support for terrorism is sufficient to get you...
01:56:36.900
Well, that's being litigated right now with the Mahmoud Khalil case.
01:56:39.160
Right, but I think you're going to lose that one.
01:56:41.500
But my point being that, like, if that's true, then I think you could say that an illegal alien could not be imprisoned for, you know, a crime that would not be a crime for an American citizen, but they could be deported.
01:56:55.100
Like, you could make it a condition of their residence.
01:56:57.660
One of the big problems with having this carve out and saying that rights don't apply to illegal immigrants, then the rule, that exception as well as the rule, and now all of a sudden you're going to be saying, and I hope you don't say it, is are you allowed to search without a warrant, an unreasonable search, let's say, of an illegal immigrant's house because they don't have Fourth Amendment rights?
01:57:13.240
No, but that's a right of the person against the government doing something to them, right?
01:57:17.740
In the same way that you can't imprison a, in the same reason that you can't imprison an illegal alien without due process, but you can deport them.
01:57:27.300
Yeah, but the Second Amendment has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to the delight of gun owners to be an individual right, right?
01:57:33.280
That's the big win in Heller, is it's not just a militia-based right.
01:57:39.940
So is, and the right to free speech is as well.
01:57:42.480
And so if there's an individual rights component to the Fourth Amendment that protects you against unreasonable searches and seizures, surely, and it applies to people and persons, and there's a distinction between persons and citizens in the Constitution, we should read that into the Second Amendment.
01:57:54.360
But I don't think that quite, the analogy doesn't work.
01:57:56.940
Because there's, you're talking, the distinction that we're always talking about in these First Amendment cases and in the Second Amendment cases is this criminal punishment versus removal.
01:58:05.820
And I don't think that is even in the ballpark of what's going on in the Fourth Amendment, right?
01:58:12.680
So we're not just talking about criminal punishment when it comes to immigration matters.
01:58:15.900
So the First Amendment, for example, applies to if you want to get a liquor license and you're a Trump supporter, imagine that the administration says something, or the Democrat administration says, you don't get a liquor license if you support Trump.
01:58:28.460
So let's say that the IRS institutes a policy that says something like, we're only going to do IRS audits of Trump supporters, right?
01:58:49.680
That's a situation in which an investigation isn't a criminal punishment.
01:58:55.820
You know, the denial of a license isn't a criminal punishment.
01:58:58.420
But these rights still have, you know, First Amendment, for example, still has purchase, even though it's not a criminal punishment.
01:59:02.380
The Second Amendment, there could be some gun legislation that doesn't apply in the criminal context.
01:59:06.560
I want to just add, I do think, I would like to hear a clear answer from the courts on this.
01:59:12.520
Does the people mean the body of citizens or does it mean all persons?
01:59:17.060
Because when they did draft the Fourth Amendment, it draws a distinction between what makes someone a citizen and what rights a person has.
01:59:24.340
I'm pretty sure non-citizens are protected under the Supreme Court precedent.
01:59:28.260
If it wasn't that way, you could, as a punishment, torture non-citizens.
01:59:40.660
This is the first pilot episode of the Culture War Live.

I don't know if Raymond wants to say something.
