1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,268
Heads up, before
anything else, there will be

2
00:00:02,268 --> 00:00:06,072
exactly no April
Fool's jokes in this episode.

3
00:00:06,072 --> 00:00:10,643
Anyone who says otherwise is a
charlatan. Do not believe them.

4
00:00:10,643 --> 00:00:11,144
Hello

5
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:14,247
I guessed the number of beans
in the jar

6
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:17,584
but Stuff still Happened

7
00:00:17,584 --> 00:00:18,451
So what's up?

8
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:20,019
Protests. A lot of them.

9
00:00:20,019 --> 00:00:22,022
We're gonna talk protests for a little bit.

10
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:23,857
First we're gonna
talk about the Tesla protest,

11
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:25,925
and then we're gonna
talk about upcoming protests,

12
00:00:25,925 --> 00:00:28,395
and then we're gonna talk
about how to do protests.

13
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:29,696
And then we're
gonna talk about a lot more stuff.

14
00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:32,265
There's a lot in this
one. Let's keep moving.

15
00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:34,834
So over the past week and
weekend, there were a whole

16
00:00:34,834 --> 00:00:37,704
bunch of protests at
Tesla showrooms around the

17
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:38,805
country and beyond.

18
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:40,140
People gathered at the showrooms

19
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:44,944
to peacefully protest
with signs and yelling and... protestin'

20
00:00:44,944 --> 00:00:46,746
Specifically, they're protesting Elon

21
00:00:46,746 --> 00:00:49,215
Musk, and
specifically, specifically, they're

22
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:51,785
protesting the whole
"he's a Nazi" thing.

23
00:00:51,785 --> 00:00:53,987
Remember that time that he
went on stage in front of

24
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:57,290
the entire world
and did a Nazi salute twice,

25
00:00:57,290 --> 00:00:59,626
and then some
fucking chuds tried to say that's

26
00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:02,495
a Roman salute, and
then that whole meme started?

27
00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:05,665
Well, the man still
definitely did Nazi salutes,

28
00:01:05,665 --> 00:01:09,002
and then definitely supported
the Nazi party in Germany

29
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:11,404
And has
definitely been a complete

30
00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:14,207
fucking knob for years.

31
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:15,408
So people aren't particularly

32
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:17,644
thrilled that this fucking tool, who is

33
00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:21,948
insultingly bad at Path of
Exile, is basically in charge of

34
00:01:21,948 --> 00:01:22,882
the federal government.

35
00:01:22,882 --> 00:01:23,883
Now while a lot of the

36
00:01:23,883 --> 00:01:26,286
protests have been
peaceful, I do want to acknowledge

37
00:01:26,286 --> 00:01:29,088
that there have been
a few instances of violent

38
00:01:29,088 --> 00:01:31,758
vandalism at these
Tesla facilities.

39
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:35,895
Chargers on fire, cars on fire,
Tesla and fire usually go hand in hand

40
00:01:35,895 --> 00:01:37,664
I don't see what the problem is.

41
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:40,533
But this has made Musk
and Trump very big mad, and

42
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:42,836
they're using the
Justice Department to specifically

43
00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:45,205
go after these
people who are doing things to

44
00:01:45,205 --> 00:01:47,307
Tesla facilities and
treating them as domestic

45
00:01:47,307 --> 00:01:49,576
terrorists, and
threatening to send them to the

46
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:52,812
same prison that
they're sending the deportees to

47
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:53,980
out of the country.

48
00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:55,315
Classic punishment for

49
00:01:55,315 --> 00:01:59,118
arson in the US is deporting
them to a prison in El Salvador

50
00:01:59,118 --> 00:02:01,020
Now,
should you set things on fire?

51
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:03,156
The law says no.

52
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:04,557
But morally,
should you be setting

53
00:02:04,557 --> 00:02:06,593
things on fire,
especially at Tesla dealerships?

54
00:02:07,827 --> 00:02:09,062
The law says no.

55
00:02:09,062 --> 00:02:09,896
But moving on

56
00:02:09,896 --> 00:02:10,663
There are large

57
00:02:10,663 --> 00:02:13,433
scale protests
planned for April 5th. They are

58
00:02:13,433 --> 00:02:15,935
called the
hands-off protests. I will link to

59
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:17,904
some information
about them in the description

60
00:02:17,904 --> 00:02:19,339
slash newsletter
slash whatever.

61
00:02:19,339 --> 00:02:22,842
These protests are planned for
basically everywhere, like every

62
00:02:22,842 --> 00:02:24,777
single state in a
bunch of countries across the

63
00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:27,380
world to protest
Trump and Musk as they continue

64
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:29,816
to sit in the White
House and fondle each other

65
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:32,385
while whispering
about tariffs and I don't know,

66
00:02:32,385 --> 00:02:33,686
staff reductions and stuff

67
00:02:33,686 --> 00:02:35,622
Like an authoritarian oroborous

68
00:02:35,622 --> 00:02:36,756
But moreover, I want to

69
00:02:36,756 --> 00:02:38,958
talk to you about
protest safety and things you

70
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:40,960
should be doing if you're
planning to go to a protest

71
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,896
These are
things to maximize your impact

72
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:47,133
by way of keeping yourself safe
and not ruining for everyone else

73
00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:48,034
So quickly, I'm going to

74
00:02:48,034 --> 00:02:51,471
go through five
little tippies. Tippie tippies.

75
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:54,474
Tip tip tip tips for
you. That was a normal thing

76
00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:56,242
that I just did with
my mouth. 

77
00:02:56,242 --> 00:02:58,511
1. Leave your tech at home

78
00:02:58,511 --> 00:03:01,114
Phone, smartwatch, anything with a

79
00:03:01,114 --> 00:03:03,850
screen, anything with
a radio, leave it at home.

80
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:07,187
If you absolutely,
absolutely need to have a phone

81
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:10,857
of some kind,
purchase a burner phone with cash

82
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:12,659
and ditch it as soon
as you can.

83
00:03:12,659 --> 00:03:15,695
Do not use your credit card that
creates a paper trail.

84
00:03:15,695 --> 00:03:17,030
Leave all your crap at home.

85
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:19,799
Two, turn your body into an info sheet

86
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:21,367
If you're
going to a protest, you don't

87
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:24,170
know what's going to
happen to you. And that's just,

88
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,105
that's just part of
the deal. I'm not saying

89
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:28,308
that to scare you, but
it's true. You're most likely

90
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,843
going to be perfectly
fine. But in the event that

91
00:03:30,843 --> 00:03:33,680
the piggies decide to
arrest you, take your stuff,

92
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,381
strip you or
whatever, you need to make sure

93
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:37,517
that you've got the
information that you need

94
00:03:37,517 --> 00:03:39,786
on your person,
quite literally. You can write

95
00:03:39,786 --> 00:03:41,955
it down on a piece of
paper as well, but if you've

96
00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:43,723
got that in your
bag and they take your bag,

97
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:47,260
you're screwed. So take
a, like a permanent marker and

98
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:49,362
write a few things
on yourself. Here's some

99
00:03:49,362 --> 00:03:51,831
examples. Jot down
an emergency contact, the

100
00:03:51,831 --> 00:03:54,234
phone number and
just the first name of someone

101
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:56,069
that should be called
in the event of an emergency.

102
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:59,005
Write down the name
and number of a lawyer who

103
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:01,040
can come and
represent you. There are usually

104
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,676
lawyers that are
doing pro bono work to help

105
00:04:03,676 --> 00:04:06,546
protesters and
protest organizers usually have

106
00:04:06,546 --> 00:04:09,616
a few that they know of
So chat with them, try to get a number

107
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:11,985
Also any medical information,

108
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:14,120
like allergies to
medications or conditions that

109
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,689
a doctor should be
aware of in the event that you

110
00:04:16,689 --> 00:04:19,525
are unfortunately knocked
out and brought to a hospital

111
00:04:19,525 --> 00:04:21,160
If they can
pull up your sleeve and see

112
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,029
like, Oh, this
person's allergic to penicillin.

113
00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:25,331
That can quite
literally save your life.

114
00:04:25,331 --> 00:04:31,437
3. Don't talk to cops.

115
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:33,273
Don't do it.
Don't talk to the cops.

116
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:35,475
Not even if they're
being nice and not even if

117
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:36,676
they're just making
small talk.

118
00:04:36,676 --> 00:04:37,410
They are not your

119
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:40,413
friend. They are
allowed to lie to you and they

120
00:04:40,413 --> 00:04:42,749
are trying to get
you to incriminate yourself.

121
00:04:42,749 --> 00:04:46,019
Remember you have
the right to remain silent.

122
00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:48,988
Anything you say
can and will be used against

123
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:50,256
you in a court of law. 

124
00:04:50,256 --> 00:04:51,057
The only things you

125
00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:53,092
should say to a
cop are, "I am not answering

126
00:04:53,092 --> 00:04:55,595
questions without my lawyer present," or

127
00:04:55,595 --> 00:04:56,663
"I would like a phone call"

128
00:04:56,663 --> 00:04:58,998
...with which to get lawyer.

129
00:04:58,998 --> 00:05:00,933
Seriously, if nothing else, if you do

130
00:05:00,933 --> 00:05:03,236
nothing else, don't talk to cops.

131
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:06,806
4. Wear something practical and
comfortable. Don't listen to

132
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:09,976
people who tell you to
get like tactical shit or wear

133
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,879
like higher shoes so
that you change your height

134
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,248
so that the cops
won't be able to recognize you.

135
00:05:15,248 --> 00:05:17,250
Like, no, just wear what's comfortable

136
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:20,219
because you might be in
it for like 48 hours.

137
00:05:20,219 --> 00:05:22,188
Again, you don't know
what's going to happen to you.

138
00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:24,457
You might be in a jail
cell overnight. You might go

139
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:26,693
home totally fine. You don't know.

140
00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:27,660
Plan accordingly.

141
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:29,495
Wear something that
you're comfortable in.

142
00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:32,231
Bring a change of an
outer layer in a bag if you've

143
00:05:32,231 --> 00:05:36,135
got it, but just don't
wear big flowy stuff. Don't

144
00:05:36,135 --> 00:05:38,971
don't wear stupid shoes.
Like wear a practical thing.

145
00:05:38,971 --> 00:05:41,307
5. look out for each other

146
00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:43,776
Bring water. Bring maybe
some first aid stuff. Use

147
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:46,245
water to wash out any
pepper spray and tear gas.

148
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:50,516
Don't use anything
else but water. Please, please.

149
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:54,053
And remember, this is
not about you. This is about

150
00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:55,722
the protest and
the message.

151
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:58,558
Do not make it about yourself.
Do not make it about making yourself

152
00:05:58,558 --> 00:06:01,694
into a martyr. Don't
start shit and don't get up

153
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:05,031
in cops' faces. It
doesn't seem straightforward,

154
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:07,967
but now is not the
time to fight like that

155
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,436
because doing that
imperils a lot of people around you,

156
00:06:10,436 --> 00:06:12,839
especially in the
US where altercations with

157
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,275
cops can quickly turn
deadly. And dying is not as

158
00:06:16,275 --> 00:06:18,478
effective as making a statement and then

159
00:06:18,478 --> 00:06:20,880
continuing to go on and
help other people. 

160
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,315
Heroics don't

161
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:24,250
happen because
they're sought out. They happen

162
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:26,686
because someone
acted in a time of necessity.

163
00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:28,654
Don't seek it out.

164
00:06:28,654 --> 00:06:29,789
I'm not saying that you got

165
00:06:29,789 --> 00:06:32,558
to drop your fantasy
about being the big hero,

166
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:33,693
although you should do that,

167
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:34,994
but I'm saying be

168
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:37,630
thoughtful and
remember, it's not about you.

169
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:40,633
You are one of a
collective. This is about the

170
00:06:40,633 --> 00:06:42,502
collective and their impact.

171
00:06:42,502 --> 00:06:45,538
So there's that. Go forth, protest,
have fun, do all that good

172
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:48,508
stuff. Mostly, meet
some amazing people.

173
00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:50,610
You're going to find some
really awesome people if

174
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:52,712
you go to a
protest. So make some friends.

175
00:06:52,712 --> 00:06:53,479
Okay, moving on.

176
00:06:53,479 --> 00:06:54,847
I'm talking to you. I have a

177
00:06:54,847 --> 00:06:57,250
Patreon, patreon.com
slash endeavorants. You should

178
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:59,318
check it out if you
want to support me. Also

179
00:06:59,318 --> 00:07:03,756
head to skh.news for
sources and a newsletter,

180
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:06,392
which is free. And there's
also some paid support tiers.

181
00:07:06,392 --> 00:07:08,427
That's the end.
We're moving on

182
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:11,697
I can't with the,
with the self promo. I can't do it.

183
00:07:11,697 --> 00:07:12,498
Policy!

184
00:07:12,498 --> 00:07:14,434
A Tufts University doctoral student

185
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:17,637
and Fulbright
scholar was abducted by federal

186
00:07:17,637 --> 00:07:20,840
agents in plain clothes
as she was walking to dinner.

187
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,410
Rümeysa Öztürk got abducted. As I said,

188
00:07:24,410 --> 00:07:26,913
plain clothes
officers walked up to her wearing

189
00:07:26,913 --> 00:07:29,015
a mask saying
where the cops come with us.

190
00:07:29,015 --> 00:07:31,717
She's a student here
on a visa from Turkey in the

191
00:07:31,717 --> 00:07:34,220
Fulbright program,
which is a program where we

192
00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:36,923
exchange students to
bring in different perspectives

193
00:07:36,923 --> 00:07:39,258
and cultures and
intelligence from around the

194
00:07:39,258 --> 00:07:42,395
world to help
academia be better.

195
00:07:42,395 --> 00:07:45,231
This student, who again is a
doctoral student, she's in her

196
00:07:45,231 --> 00:07:48,668
thirties. She wrote
an op-ed for her school paper

197
00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:51,704
a year ago, requesting for the school to

198
00:07:51,704 --> 00:07:53,506
acknowledge the Palestinian genocide.

199
00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:55,074
That is all she did. And

200
00:07:55,074 --> 00:07:57,176
apparently that was
enough for ICE to take her and

201
00:07:57,176 --> 00:07:58,845
the state has revoked her visa.

202
00:07:58,845 --> 00:07:59,478
They're now trying

203
00:07:59,478 --> 00:08:02,448
to deport her, but a
judge has recently halted that.

204
00:08:02,448 --> 00:08:03,649
This is insane.

205
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:06,185
I'm so incredibly tired

206
00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:08,921
of people trying to
make the argument that folks

207
00:08:08,921 --> 00:08:12,925
who are here on a
green card or a visa straight up

208
00:08:12,925 --> 00:08:15,094
deserve to be kicked out if they remotely

209
00:08:15,094 --> 00:08:18,664
criticize the state.
Like what a bullshit take.

210
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:22,001
You don't get to be a
person who's like, "ah, don't

211
00:08:22,001 --> 00:08:25,037
tread on me. And also
the government is allowed to

212
00:08:25,037 --> 00:08:27,440
determine who can say what."

213
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,575
The executive branch does
not get to just

214
00:08:29,575 --> 00:08:32,778
put limitations on
freedom of speech just because

215
00:08:32,778 --> 00:08:34,447
it makes them sad.

216
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:37,083
This foreign exchange student

217
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:41,120
who's doing
research was critical of Israel.

218
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,622
Now we're going to deport her!

219
00:08:43,389 --> 00:08:44,557
It's gross and dumb.

220
00:08:44,557 --> 00:08:46,726
And in the United States,
freedom of speech is supposed

221
00:08:46,726 --> 00:08:48,928
to be the bedrock of
our society. You know, the

222
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:51,330
whole first amendment thing.

223
00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:53,766
And you can argue till you're blue in
the face about whether or

224
00:08:53,766 --> 00:08:57,436
not people with visas
or green cards should be just

225
00:08:57,436 --> 00:09:00,139
overtly patriotic and never criticize the

226
00:09:00,139 --> 00:09:02,575
country. Otherwise
they're not grateful for being here.

227
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:07,146
That's still just gross and weirdly exceptionalist

228
00:09:07,146 --> 00:09:10,349
And it also
is an endorsement of whoever is in

229
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:13,519
power at that time,
having the ability to say

230
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:17,557
this is acceptable.
This is not. And last I checked,

231
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,326
the United States is not
governed by philosopher kings

232
00:09:20,326 --> 00:09:22,728
America is currently
governed by a half-wit

233
00:09:22,728 --> 00:09:25,531
moron who
bankrupted a casino. And prior to

234
00:09:25,531 --> 00:09:28,768
that, a barely alive
husk of a human who spent his

235
00:09:28,768 --> 00:09:32,038
earlier years pushing
back against integration in schools.

236
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:35,207
So maybe don't pick
an authority figure

237
00:09:35,207 --> 00:09:38,477
to determine what
is and is not okay to say,

238
00:09:38,477 --> 00:09:40,813
regardless of country of origin.

239
00:09:40,813 --> 00:09:44,250
Because if the U.S. State
Department needs to deport a 31 year

240
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,752
old researcher who
wrote an op-ed in a college

241
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:49,088
newspaper because that is a threat to

242
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:53,059
national security, then
we have failed as a country.

243
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:54,994
Oh, speaking of national security!

244
00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:57,463
As I was uploading last
week's episode of stuff keeps

245
00:09:57,463 --> 00:10:00,266
happening, it broke that a bunch of top

246
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,536
ranking government
officials had a signal group chat

247
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,906
where they were
discussing plans to bomb Yemen.

248
00:10:06,906 --> 00:10:09,542
And they added the
editor in chief of the Atlantic

249
00:10:09,542 --> 00:10:11,277
magazine to said group chat.

250
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:13,546
That is a real thing

251
00:10:13,546 --> 00:10:16,282
that happened like a week ago.

252
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:17,850
And we're already over it!

253
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:20,553
It's just crazy.
Like we should not be over it.

254
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:22,822
Here's the thing: If they did this for

255
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:26,559
this one group chat,
they absolutely have many more.

256
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,828
Signal is not
approved for this use case.

257
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,997
And it's not like they
all just coordinated. Hey,

258
00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:34,166
let's all install signal to have
this one conversation here.

259
00:10:34,166 --> 00:10:35,668
This is a problem.

260
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:36,769
This was us getting a

261
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:38,838
look into just how
little this administration

262
00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:41,073
actually cares
about national security, which

263
00:10:41,073 --> 00:10:44,076
we knew we knew they
never actually cared. And we

264
00:10:44,076 --> 00:10:46,145
knew they never
actually cared when it came to

265
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:48,381
Hillary with her
email server that they screeched

266
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:49,515
about for years.

267
00:10:49,515 --> 00:10:51,050
That is not a defense of Hillary.

268
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:53,853
She shouldn't have had
that email server. And also

269
00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:55,254
they shouldn't be doing this.

270
00:10:55,254 --> 00:10:57,523
But for reason, I don't think
that anything is going to really

271
00:10:57,523 --> 00:11:00,826
come of this
because one, who is going to do

272
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:04,196
anything about it? And
two, Pete Hegseth apparently

273
00:11:04,196 --> 00:11:06,198
has been bringing
his wife to meetings with

274
00:11:06,198 --> 00:11:08,300
defense ministers
from foreign countries.

275
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:12,271
But honest to god,
despite that being not okay, she's

276
00:11:12,271 --> 00:11:14,673
probably more
qualified than Pete Hegseth.

277
00:11:14,673 --> 00:11:16,409
Maybe it's just for the best.

278
00:11:16,409 --> 00:11:19,879
The administration's take on all
of this with the whole signal chat

279
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:25,251
thing is, is no big deal.
Mistakes happen. We need to move on.

280
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:26,986
Which like, I'm not going to sit here

281
00:11:26,986 --> 00:11:29,855
and point out the
hypocrisy. It's not worth it.

282
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:30,890
Let's go around the world.

283
00:11:31,657 --> 00:11:33,025
Let's go around the world!

284
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:33,526
Dizzy.

285
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:35,528
We're good.

286
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:36,929
Oh, hey, the Greenland
thing. Greenland, Greenland.

287
00:11:36,929 --> 00:11:38,030
JD Vance went there

288
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:40,633
because the US is
still talking about wanting

289
00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:41,333
to take it over. 

290
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:42,101
He was there for like

291
00:11:42,101 --> 00:11:45,805
literally a handful of
hours and nobody there wanted him

292
00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:48,174
there. They were
pretty upset about it. But

293
00:11:48,174 --> 00:11:50,609
during his time there,
he addressed some people at a

294
00:11:50,609 --> 00:11:52,945
military base, he
insulted Denmark and then

295
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:55,915
implied that Greenland
should separate from Denmark and

296
00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:57,550
then join the
United States.

297
00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:58,751
Now you should
know that most political

298
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:01,020
parties in that very
Greenland have decided to

299
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:03,689
form a coalition to
say fuck you to the US.

300
00:12:03,689 --> 00:12:05,591
They're not about it.
They're really, really, really

301
00:12:05,591 --> 00:12:07,560
not about it. At all.

302
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:08,861
Turkey, there's unrest.

303
00:12:08,861 --> 00:12:10,229
That's putting it mildly.

304
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:12,231
There's a lot of protests in Turkey. 

305
00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:13,065
So Turkey's

306
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:15,301
leader, Erdogan, has
been in power for like over

307
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:17,770
20 years and is
essentially a dictator. He's

308
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:20,673
most recently been
doing everything he can to stop a

309
00:12:20,673 --> 00:12:23,509
potential opposition
party from unseating him.

310
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:27,246
This time it was by
arresting the mayor of Istanbul,

311
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:29,115
who is the leader
of said opposition party

312
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:31,584
and most likely
person to be able to actually

313
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:32,418
unseat Erdogan.

314
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:34,553
So amidst ongoing protests,

315
00:12:34,553 --> 00:12:37,356
this arrest happens
and that cranks it up to 11.

316
00:12:37,356 --> 00:12:39,992
It goes from like,
hey, we're not happy with the

317
00:12:39,992 --> 00:12:41,594
state of things and
our government isn't really

318
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:44,497
doing anything to fix
stuff to our government is

319
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:46,966
actively trying to make
it so that we have no voice.

320
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:48,300
And of course,
these protests are then

321
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:50,436
met with the
government clamping down saying that

322
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,071
you can't do gatherings. You can't hold

323
00:12:52,071 --> 00:12:54,373
demonstrations. And
they're saying, fuck you, we're

324
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:55,741
going to hold demonstrations. And the

325
00:12:55,741 --> 00:12:57,843
government's like, well,
we're going to arrest all of you.

326
00:12:57,843 --> 00:13:00,146
And it's, it's, it's
escalating pretty quick.

327
00:13:00,146 --> 00:13:04,316
In Canada, there's going
to be an election in a month.

328
00:13:04,316 --> 00:13:06,652
God, imagine
election season lasting a month.

329
00:13:06,652 --> 00:13:10,289
So Justin, "I only did blackface that
one time" Trudeau

330
00:13:10,289 --> 00:13:12,358
stepped down and was replaced by
Mark Carney

331
00:13:12,358 --> 00:13:14,193
Both of them are in the Liberal Party

332
00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:16,762
and Carney recently
called a snap election, which

333
00:13:16,762 --> 00:13:18,597
is essentially going
to just be the Liberal Party

334
00:13:18,597 --> 00:13:22,001
versus the Conservative Party
to boil it down to the basics.

335
00:13:22,001 --> 00:13:24,703
Now, pre-Trump, the Conservative Party

336
00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:27,506
in Canada was
surging in the polls and it was

337
00:13:27,506 --> 00:13:30,276
really looking likely
that the Liberals were just

338
00:13:30,276 --> 00:13:31,243
going to crash out.

339
00:13:31,243 --> 00:13:32,077
And then Trump came into

340
00:13:32,077 --> 00:13:33,712
power and started
talking about Canada being

341
00:13:33,712 --> 00:13:36,315
the 51st state and
saying Governor Trudeau

342
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:38,784
and then slapping
all those tariffs on Canada.

343
00:13:38,784 --> 00:13:40,786
And Canadians are fucking pissed.

344
00:13:40,786 --> 00:13:42,788
And so they're kind of looking
at the Conservatives and being

345
00:13:42,788 --> 00:13:45,524
like, Hey,
actually, we don't want that. Like

346
00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:46,926
they're looking at
what's going on in America.

347
00:13:46,926 --> 00:13:49,528
And they're like,
this is insane. We don't

348
00:13:49,528 --> 00:13:50,229
want any of that.

349
00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:51,730
And so the graphs of the polling

350
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:54,567
between these
parties is hysterical. It is just

351
00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:56,468
a complete inversion.

352
00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:58,871
So the vote is on April 28.

353
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:01,607
We'll see just how much
Canadians are pissed off.

354
00:14:01,607 --> 00:14:04,777
In Myanmar, there was a massive 7.7

355
00:14:04,777 --> 00:14:06,045
magnitude earthquake.

356
00:14:06,045 --> 00:14:06,879
It's been more than a

357
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:09,248
century since they've
seen an earthquake of this scale.

358
00:14:09,248 --> 00:14:11,150
And unfortunately,
the devastation is widespread

359
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:14,420
and massive. At time
of recording, the death toll

360
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:18,524
has surpassed 1700 people
with thousands more missing and injured.

361
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:20,459
Myanmar is not in a great

362
00:14:20,459 --> 00:14:23,495
way right now.
There's been ongoing civil war and

363
00:14:23,495 --> 00:14:26,298
some parties of the
civil war have offered to do a

364
00:14:26,298 --> 00:14:28,400
ceasefire to help
with the aid efforts, but

365
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,402
it's tenuous at best.

366
00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:31,670
Meanwhile, Israel is bombing

367
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:34,073
Lebanon again.
They've broken their ceasefire.

368
00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:37,576
They signed in
November and dropped a bomb on a

369
00:14:37,576 --> 00:14:39,912
residential building
in a suburb of Beirut.

370
00:14:39,912 --> 00:14:42,047
The Israeli government
issued an evacuation warning

371
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,550
beforehand by
posting a picture of the building

372
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:45,618
that they were going to bomb

373
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:47,086
So the people
who live in this building were

374
00:14:47,086 --> 00:14:49,521
scrambling to flee
and inform the other folks who

375
00:14:49,521 --> 00:14:53,092
lived there who
didn't see the X over their house

376
00:14:53,092 --> 00:14:56,262
and then boom, plume
of smoke. Israel used their

377
00:14:56,262 --> 00:14:59,431
favorite excuse of
there's terrorists here. So

378
00:14:59,431 --> 00:15:01,767
we're going to bomb
it, which is not an excuse.

379
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:04,136
"There are terrorists there.
So we're going to

380
00:15:04,136 --> 00:15:06,071
bomb it" is not an argument.

381
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:07,673
One, "terrorist" is

382
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:11,143
subjective. Two, that's
not how anything works.

383
00:15:11,143 --> 00:15:14,747
You don't have the
authority to bomb other countries.

384
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:18,350
It is just war. All you're doing is war,

385
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:21,186
especially when you're
saying, well, we believe there to be

386
00:15:21,186 --> 00:15:23,756
some terrorists
somewhere in this building

387
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:27,359
that otherwise is
populated entirely by civilians.

388
00:15:27,359 --> 00:15:31,030
That's not using
civilians as a shield. That's

389
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:32,031
just logistics.

390
00:15:32,031 --> 00:15:33,732
There are plenty of buildings

391
00:15:33,732 --> 00:15:37,236
in every country that
have governmental operations

392
00:15:37,236 --> 00:15:39,605
as well as other shit
going on.

393
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:41,006
And in this case,

394
00:15:41,006 --> 00:15:44,643
like it or not,
Hezbollah is government operation.

395
00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:46,779
So that's that's fun.
Yep.

396
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:47,446
Lightning Round

397
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:51,951
Elon Musk has
sold Twitter to himself.

398
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:54,954
he is lumping Twitter into
his AI company.

399
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:59,992
So that means Twitter is now owned
by X AI and is like entirely

400
00:15:59,992 --> 00:16:01,794
just an AI bullshit thing now.

401
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:03,896
So hey, this is your reminder:

402
00:16:03,896 --> 00:16:05,431
Get the fuck off of Twitter.

403
00:16:05,431 --> 00:16:08,033
DNA testing app 23 and me might

404
00:16:08,033 --> 00:16:11,737
possibly be
transferring users DNA data to a

405
00:16:11,737 --> 00:16:13,672
new owner as they're
facing bankruptcy.

406
00:16:13,672 --> 00:16:16,675
Stop giving your biological data to
tech companies.

407
00:16:16,675 --> 00:16:19,812
Over 1.5 million photos of users from

408
00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:22,881
dating apps,
particularly queer and kink based

409
00:16:22,881 --> 00:16:25,150
dating apps have
been leaked online.

410
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:29,355
Sorry, not leaked.
They were just not protected by

411
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:30,656
the developers of the apps.

412
00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:32,391
They were just publicly available.

413
00:16:32,391 --> 00:16:34,626
The apps include SM people,

414
00:16:34,626 --> 00:16:37,529
Chica, Trans Love,
pink and British anything that's

415
00:16:37,529 --> 00:16:41,166
developed by mad
mobile apps. So look into that.

416
00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:43,769
And finally, for
today, rumor has it that you'll

417
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:47,439
be able to preorder a Nintendo switch
to as soon as April.

418
00:16:47,439 --> 00:16:52,378
I'm gonna switch to uh,

419
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:56,281
I didn't have a
second part of this joke. 

420
00:16:56,281 --> 00:16:58,250
I'm gonna switch to my outro.

421
00:16:58,250 --> 00:16:58,951
Thank you so much

422
00:16:58,951 --> 00:17:00,352

423
00:17:00,352 --> 00:17:03,956
keeps happening head
to skh.news for sources, bonus

424
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:07,192

secret as to how I guessed about
