1969, Malcolm and Martin are gone.
America is in crisis.
At a Morehouse college, the students make their move.
These students, including a young Samuel L. Jackson,
locked up the members of the Board of Trustees,
including Martin Luther King's Senior.
It's the true story of protests and rebellion in black American history
that you'll never forget.

people because of what happened in Alabama?
This Black History Month, the podcast, Selective Ignorance with Mandy B,
unpacked black history and culture with comedy, clarity, and conversations that shake the status quo.
The Crown Act in New York was signed in July of 2019, and that is a bill that was passed to
prohibit discrimination based on hairstyles associated with race.

What is something you've had to unlearn about love?
That it's earned.
That I was unworthy of love.
That it needs to be forever for it to count.
February is the month of love.
Whether you're in a relationship, casually dating, or proudly single, it's a great time to reflect on yourself.
and what you want.

This is It Could Happen here, an executive disorder.
Our weekly newscast covering what's happening in the White House,
the crumbling world, and what it means for you.
I'm Garrison Davis. Today I'm joined by Sophie Lickderman, James Stout, and Robert Evans.
This episode, we are covering the week of February 4th to February 11th.
It was the Super Bowl. Wasn't that fun. I heard it was streaming on Peacock this year,
so I booted up my Peacock account, went to the sports section, and was surprised at how
few Americans there were, and how many other flags there were. And I do not remember this
much skating typically at previous the previous Super Bowl shows or the ski jumping but i mean i
it was still fun to watch people compete uh-huh yeah this is because i was watching the winter
olympics get it it's oh i did i did get it good work gear no fun stuff what's your favorite
winter olympics event garrison as a canadian honestly the ski jumping is pretty exciting they
really fly yeah they do that video of that guy that went viral that did like a under six-minute
mile on skis uphill.
Yeah, going uphill.
That was crazy.
To be clear, he's not going for a mile.
Like, he just goes uphill.
Like, the whole course is like a mile-ish.
Well.
But yeah, still, cross-country skiers have insane V-O-2 maxes.
Wild.
Cross-country ski when I get the chance.
It's fun.
I don't go that fast.
But no, we do need to discuss this,
the actual Super Bowl halftime show.
Actually, well, no.
Not the actual one.
The other one.
The All-American
half-time show.
Oh, maybe I'll just say the kid who bad bunny gave his Grammy to was not the same child
who you saw being abducted by ice in a little blue bunny hat.
No, it was supposed to symbolize a young Benito.
Him.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Not anything else.
It really was not.
There was a lot of underlying messages in that show that were very important, but it would be weird.
It would be weird if he put in a kid that looked like the five-year-old that was abducted
in prison by ice to give him a Grammy.
That would have been really off-putting.
Would not have been a cool move.
Yeah, that would have been bad.
Just to say, it was a great halftime show.
I enjoyed it thoroughly.
And now here's a clip of the All-American halftime show.
The real halftime show.
With our favorite kid rock.
Ready?
Mm-hmm.
Don't you want!
Yeah.
Somebody makes some motherfucking noise in here.
I haven't seen a sandal.
There's like nobody there.
Okay, this is not.
This is not from the show.
This is from Silicon Valley.
This was a joke that they did on the TV show Silicon Valley, which looks almost exactly like the turning point halftime show.
Yeah, I was about to say.
I didn't hear that.
Aside from the Jorts.
I thought that was a new angle.
They did have more people in the crowd, but they were hired actors, but they did have more people in the crowd.
Shockingly, it lines up.
Our colleague Molly Conger described his outfit as needed to run out to Home Depot to pick up us part for something.
And I think that's really funny.
He's in like shorts and like a t-shirt and has a wrist brace.
It's great.
We'll get to Kid Rock in a sec.
But let's start at the beginning.
While watching the Turning Point stream, there was no indication where the show is being broadcast from or whether it was live.
But four performers sang back to back to back, indicating the show was cut together from previously
taped performances.
Yes.
The venue was this dark, narrow, rectangular room with high ceilings and studio lights.
In the middle was a long stage, with a small audience on either side, maybe 200 people tops.
But the show was introduced by none other than Jack Posobic, which I will show now.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Turning Point USA, All-American,
halftime show and this one's for you Charlie.
Great stuff.
So that's the stuff.
446 down votes on Rumble.
Uh-huh.
That's rough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I watched this.
I will admit I watched it after the actual halftime show because it was on YouTube and
there was no reason to actually catch it during the Super Bowl.
And by the way, the viewership number suggests that most people who did catch it
watched it after the Super Bowl.
Yes.
Because it's weird to pause or turn off the sound in the middle of the Super Bowl and pull up like a laptop or something to go watch the fucking Turning Point USA show.
Yeah.
Oh, it's really cumbersome, really, really anti-social behavior at the Super Bowl party to turn off the stream.
Plug in your laptop.
Go to rumble.com.
If you are doing that, your kids have not talked to you longer than they've been alive.
Like they abandoned you before they were born.
Well, President Trump watched the...
actual Super Bowl half-time show. Of course he did. There's photos of him watching it.
He knows that this is loser's shit. Yeah. It's just about the loserist loser shit that I have ever
seen. And right after Jack Basobic introduced it, it cuts to this, you've got this black stage,
and there's like an amp on the stage, and a guy walks up to it with a guitar. Not a guy.
Brantley Gilbert, okay, some respect. Brantley Gilbert. Okay, that's Brantley. I was going to
introduce his name afterwards.
But Garrison, you miss something important because Brantley Gilbert's band is where this guy is from.
But the all-electric guitar performance of the Star Sprangled Banner is led by the great guitarist Spencer Wosdor.
Wow.
Who?
Spencer Wosdor?
Where are they finding these guys?
Is that a stage name?
Or is that a...
He's in Brantley Gilbert's band, Garrison.
This all sounds like an I think you should leave sketch.
Yeah.
Like, I'm making up these names.
No, the whole performance was that I think you should leave sketch.
But no, it's beautiful electric guitar riff of the Star-Spangled Bannard opening the show.
Do you have a clip for us, Garrison?
No, I got a clip to play because there's a moment here.
They had pyrotechnics during the show.
Of course.
Like the real show had.
But they're not good.
They were better for the kid rock performance.
For the electric guitars, they're just kind of sad.
And they make a sad little popping stone.
Well, again, a single.
man is playing guitar on stage.
Jimmy Hendricks played the
Star Spangled Banner on guitar, but he was good at
playing guitar. But he was one of the best
guitar players overlived. So it's a little different.
It does seem like a high yardstick
that they've chosen to measure themselves against.
We'll talk about that in a sec, but I got to show you guys.
You just need to see the pop of these pyrotechnics
just for a second. And you, the listener, needs to hear it.
It's giving village fireworks
display.
I lost my shit.
When I saw that.
That was it.
Oh, that's beautiful.
That's great.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I loved it.
Per what you were saying earlier,
there's a New York Times article.
For fuck's sake.
That the original title it was published under was,
The All-American Half Time featured an electric anthem, unlike Hendricks.
Now, they changed that title in the reporter's notebook article to,
what does a whaling electric take on the Star-Spangled Bandw?
mean?
I'm glad that they are getting to the core of the issues,
the publication that ignored all my pictures about Myanmar for several years.
Yeah, no, it's good.
This is much more important.
Let's listen to a quote from this article that I think we can all agree matters much more than a war.
In musical terms, Wazdorpe's version of the Star-Spangled Banner was conservative too.
Despite the bent notes and feedback, it largely stuck to the melody
and conveyed a reverentive, stubborn form of patriotism.
I don't know.
I kind of loved it.
What do you mean?
No, it was terrible.
It's terrible.
It's hard watch, hard watch.
That was the best part of it.
I hate to say it, but unfortunately the pyrotechnics were basically competent for the kid rock show,
which might have been the only competent part of the kid rock show.
Yeah, I want to hear the kid rock show.
I haven't.
I think there's some other hits from this, from this show, though.
You're right.
That's not fair.
Including Brantley Gilbert's second song, which starts as a story.
low acoustic ballot and then abruptly changes into whatever this is.
He's trying to rap. He is trying to rap. He is trying to try it. He is trying. He is trying.
Small town, he said, she said.
I'm not going to read into what those lyrics are trying to express.
Whoa.
But that was the second song.
I would have skipped to the third act, which is Lee Bryce.
He started his second song by saying, quote,
Charlie gave people microphones so that they could say what was on their mind.
This is what's on mine.
And this next song starts like a parody of a conservative country song.
Here's the beginning.
I just want to catch my fish.
Drive my truck.
Drink my beer.
Not wake up to all this stuff.
I don't want to catch my fish.
I'm getting a little teary-eyed, honestly.
Let's just listen it to that.
The next part is insane.
The next line is...
Okay, I'm coming at this rule.
This is the next line of the song.
The same kind of...
kind of gun I hunt with just killed another man.
The only thing mine ever shot was a deer from a deer stance.
That's the next line.
Why are you including that, man?
Lyrical genius.
Why would you do that in a song?
And the way he sings it is so bizarre.
It's, it's, it's, fuck up.
Oh, it's about Charlie Cook.
I would like to hear it.
Oh, I'm just realizing.
What is he doing?
What is happening?
The gun violence problem is bad enough
that he has to like make a comment
about it existing and being depressing.
He has to do that
but then immediately
because the next bit after this
most of the song is basically about
I don't want to listen to the news.
Correct.
Like I don't want to watch things
that remind me that...
The very next verse
is I just want to cut my grass,
feed my dog, wear my boots,
not turn the teeth,
on and sit and watch the news.
That's an option for you.
Like, you can do that.
I was going to say, that's very doable, friend.
That's entirely doable for you.
Folks, you could do that.
And I'm sure he is.
But this is what he's scared of hearing on the news.
Be told if I tell my own daughter
that little boys ain't little girl.
Hell yeah.
There it is.
Of the creek in this cancel, your ass world.
ass world. But then he said it.
He put it in a song. Oh, my God. I almost choke.
Wow. Yeah. Again, man, you're
you're being paid to sing about this.
It's amazing. In fact, it's your job because it's, you know,
they have your musical abilities. It's your, it's your presumably well-paying
job. Yeah. The whole repeated refrain of the song is it's not so easy
being country in this country nowadays. You guys are in charge. Entire song.
Question. Question. Question. Who?
Who is at this event?
How many people?
Where is it?
About 200 paid attendees in Atlanta, Georgia at a soundstage.
Paid attendees.
Pade attendees.
Crucial.
Yeah.
A lot of like fresh Detsons and like unbroken in boots in the audience.
There is so many cowboy hats in the audience.
You don't understand.
It's like a bar in Jackson, Wyoming.
I get the vibe.
There's so many of them.
And you're like, you're in Atlanta.
Not many people wear cowboy hats in Atlanta.
I'm sorry.
It's not like,
Texas or Oklahoma.
Yeah.
No, I love to see someone in a freshly purchased set.
The next song after this country one, well, I mean, they're all country songs, but the next
song is what I think is a love song that goes, quote, sometimes I drink too much, sometimes
I test your trust, sometimes I don't know why you stay with me, I'm hard to love, which
yeah, yeah, sounds right.
Sounds true.
It's related to the last song you were singing, maybe a little bit.
Sure.
About bullying your children.
Wow.
Sick.
Oh, man.
But finally, finally the main act, right?
What we've all been waiting for.
Kid rock.
I'm going to play a little over a minute for us.
We're not going to include all of this in the episode.
We're just going to include the I am a kid section.
But I do need to show this all to James.
Yeah, because this is fun.
I think a lot about, like,
there's that Steve Goodman parody country song
that you couldn't write today
because it's better musically
and less ridiculous than the actual country songs
that we're hearing.
All right, James, are you ready?
Always.
I've never seen this before.
That's enough.
That's more than enough.
There's a lot to talk about this.
Yeah, we got to unpack some of this.
He was better at the R&C.
He's flipping that.
He's flipping that.
in that mic nonstop.
He loves that move.
But his name is his.
But that's how we got the wrist injury.
I will say,
the first guys to play
had a mic with a pair of brass knuckles
built into it, which I did like.
I think we do need a version of that
that's a full knuckle duster from World War I.
So it's got the trench knife on the other side.
Perfect.
Yeah.
We can use that for life shows.
At least take a risk.
Don't be a coward every time you flip the mic.
Yeah, take a risk.
Be a man.
As the Kid Rock Lates turn on, he explosively jumps on to the stage,
white fur coat, acid washed jeans, black fedora.
Yeah, I used to be a piece of shit.
Jeans, Garrison, these are jorts.
They are cut off above the knee.
Jorts, and second correction, it was a white fur coat vest.
Coat vest.
It's a jelais.
It's a vest.
It's a vest.
And I should note also that his fedora did not have the safari flaps.
I repeat, it did not have the safari blad.
But it is leather, like a shiny black leather.
Not a breathable hat.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful to see.
It really is, and I think you should leave Sketch come to life.
It's so good.
It's so good.
He just jumps around and flipping that mic.
How long does he perform?
How many songs do we get?
He gets like two or three songs.
But none of the audio for the song matches what we're seeing on screen.
It's completely out of sync.
The sinking.
is totally off, leading a lot of people to suspect that it was lip-synced on stage,
horribly. We'll get to that in a sec.
But the next song began with a two-minute prelude featuring the cello and violin, which...
Is it one of those, like, it's just the frame of a cello?
Oh, James, you'll see.
I'm going to see a fucking offense to God.
That's a real cello.
Wow.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's an interesting outfit.
The cellist dressed kinder like Ben Franklin.
Why is he dressed like that?
Yeah, one of the three musketeers is playing cello for those you're listening at home.
Wait.
Gentlemen, please welcome our brother, Robert Ritchie.
Robert Ritchie is Kid Rock.
That's his real government name.
They reintroduced him under his legal name for the second song.
Kid Rocks are not born.
They're made.
Those people who introduced him, what was their, that was it for them?
Unclear.
They only existed on screen to introduce Kid Rock as Kid Rock the first time and then as Richie Russell, Richie Russell, whatever his name.
Robert Richie.
Whatever his real name is.
That's the only time they appeared was to introduce Kid Rock both times.
Now, after the show, it was revealed that this whole thing was pre-taped on a soundstage in Atlanta.
And a few days later, Kid Rock released a video addressing the rumors that his performance was lip-sinked, which he denies.
You know, we taped it, and then they sent me a first cut, and my comment was, the sink is off.
They were trying to line up.
First off, if we would have done it, if we would have recorded it, and then played like we were singing it, lip synced it, it would have been pie.
It would have been pie to line up.
It was very difficult for them because somebody clearly wasn't super familiar with the song.
Also, when I asked him, I go, you know, Freddie wraps that song with me, my DJ, and they're like, he does what?
And I'm like, oh, no.
I'm like, yeah, do we have any cutaways of Freddie?
And they, no, they didn't.
He wasn't, we lit up?
No, he didn't even have to line up.
Any TV time?
No.
Sorry, no.
I mean, you can see my silhouette.
So they don't have that footage.
Now, it's extremely difficult for them to line up the sink.
It could have been done if we had more time.
I'm confident they could have got it right.
Let's pour one out for Freddie.
Kid Rock's DJ.
No screen time.
So Mr. Rock said that Turning Point was having trouble lining up the audio with the visuals in part because the song is actually performed vocally by two people going back and forth.
Wow.
And Turning Point did not have a camera on the other vocalist.
So that's why it looks weird when there's obviously vocals being heard, but Mr. Rock isn't singing.
And again, the reason why no one at Turning Point is familiar with Kid Rock's music is that even they don't like Kid Rock's music.
And Mr. Rock demonstrated how this is, you know, supposed to go in this video with his DJ,
which we do need to see 30 seconds up.
Thank you.
Oh, thanks, Gare.
I love you so much.
No, I'm sorry, Sophie.
We need to have a conversation about this.
This is in violation of several rules the company has said.
I just want to call out the fact that there is a pike behind them.
And I do mean the fish that has been tank.
Exidermied.
Yeah.
Not what you normally expect.
I would have expected the other kind of pike behind Garrison.
No, that seems like Mr. Rock's abode, actually.
This feels very on-brand for him.
Is that a drone?
No, that's a deer antler turned into a candlestick.
Yeah, it looks like a deer turned into a candlestick.
Classy.
Okay.
Maybe that's...
Although from a distance, it does kind of look like a bad 3D printing of Deep Space Nine.
Yeah.
It's for my hookers all tricking out in Hollywood.
It's for my hoods of the world.
Miss Sund.
I said, it's all good.
Yeah, and it's all in fun.
Now, getting the pet, you got to love so long.
Oh, no.
Oh, dear.
I'm having a physical reaction.
I've cringed with every muscle in my body.
Here's how he explains how it's supposed to go.
So he's filling those words for me so I can bang my head, keep going and carrying up.
Now, when I'm doing that, you see me, I'm on over the stage.
who I'm flipping the mic.
I'm down here.
I'm over here, back.
Boom.
I know these guys
have a difficult time
getting that sync together.
So I have nothing
but good things to say
not only about turning point,
but the production team
that they work with on this
and other events they've done.
My favorite part about live music
is when you post a over four-minute
clip video
explaining how it was...
A four-minute 50-second video.
About how it was supposed to go
and explaining to people
things that don't actually exist.
No, his whole delivery sounds like a Tim Robinson bit.
It's so beautiful.
Incredible.
The Bad Bunny Hattom Show averaged 135.4 million viewers during the show's time slot.
And Apple Music claims it's now the most watched show in Super Bowl history.
Meanwhile, TPA USA's show attracted upwards of 6.1 million concurrent live viewers on Turning Point USA's YouTube channel due to licensing restrictions.
Turning Point was unable to stream the show on X-The Everything app as they originally planned.
Which got announced like an hour before.
Right before.
But that's probably why they didn't hit 135 million because 129 of them were waiting.
Otherwise, they would have got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The All-American Half-Time show now boasts 23 million views on their YouTube and Rumble pages combined.
The Bad Bunny show is 70 million.
A lot of these views are also people like me and other researchers.
For sure.
And just, you know, curious Americans who are interested in what they had to throw together.
But a footage from inside Trump's Super Bowl party
shows that even he did not turn into the All-American halftime show.
Now it's time for you to tune into these ads.
Canadian women are looking for more.
More to themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders,

I'm Mnaleck Lamoma.
It's 1969.
Malcolm X or Martin Luther King Jr.
had both been assassinated.
And Black America was out of breaking point.
Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale.
In Atlanta, Georgia at Martin's Almermata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest.
It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson.
To be in what we really thought was a revolution.
I mean, people would die.
1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone.
The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago.
This story is about protest.
It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

What is one thing about love you've had to unlearn that it's earned?
that it needs to be forever for it to count.
February is the month of love.
Whether you're in a relationship,
casually dating, or proudly single,
it's a great time to reflect on yourself and what you want.
I'm Hope Woodard, host of the voiceover podcast,
and each week this month,
we're looking at love from every angle.
I don't know how to tell my partner, like, what I want in bed.
The thing about romantic fiction, I would say,
more than any other genre of culture,
is that it's always put women first.
marriage stopped making sense.
The connection started to feel off.
The behavior started to feel different.
This February, get in touch with yourself by listening to Boy Sober.
That's B-O-Y-S-O-B-E-R.
I'm like, I would love to not hate the man I'm sleeping with.
I don't know what that's about.
Listen to Boy Sober on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Shall we do the real news now?
Sure.
So on Monday, February 9th, 2026, about three days before we recorded this, there was a student-led walkout protesting federal immigration arrests and protesting in large part last year's massive ICE actions in Chicago.
And students from a number of different high schools walked out.
This included students from East Aurora High School where there was a notable clash is the word or skirmish is the word.
Like, skirmish is what Shaw Local News described it as between protesters and police.
There's video, and at least from the limited clip of video we have, I wouldn't call it a skirmish.
I would call it police getting pissed and assaulting some kids.
But we don't see the rest of the interaction.
This is apparently something that went on for a couple of hours.
So I don't know, like, what led up to this.
I can tell you the video shows what looks like some high school kids walking in kind of a line outside of their high school.
There's some police by the police are clearly talking to or maybe yelling at one of the kids.
and then as the video comes in, an officer just charges in and tackles hard, like a running tackle, a teenage boy, like a child smaller than him, which leads to several other police officers grabbing kids.
At least one student punches a police officer in the head while the officer is on top of his friend, beating his friend.
The police only responded by saying, like, look, you know, we had to act.
A student punched a police officer from the Shaw Local article.
the police department said the officer who was punched was transported to a local hospital for medical attention for his injuries.
They don't show he and his colleagues like literally tackling kids first before they get hit.
If somebody tackles my friend next to me, I might start punching.
That's just life.
Yeah.
And it's a, this is kind of an ongoing story at the moment.
I don't know like what's going to wind up being the result of this.
But it inspired at least initially a lot of anger.
and there have been further protest as a result of the police violence.
Students in the area are now demanding the resignation of the police chief in East Aurora.
The police have not really, like, acknowledged those demands yet.
I don't know if this is going to turn into, like, a larger protest movement.
There's some signs that maybe it will, that there may be further walkouts specifically
as a result of the police violence.
But this is a situation we will be watching, obviously seeing police violently beating
kids for, you know, speaking, for doing the thing they should be doing at high school, which is
experimenting with believing things and taking stance.
So we'll be watching this to see kind of what results next, but that's sort of where we are
at the moment.
Yeah, that video is pretty brutal.
Let's talk a little bit more about some immigration stuff.
Let's start with, let's start with policing, shall we?
I have reviewed the police report for the ICE officer who, in late January, negligently discharged,
which is issued handgun in a hotel room.
Bradley Shaver was attempting to fix a backstrap from his Glock.
I'll quote the report here.
Quote, with his back facing room 320 and the firearm pointed in the area of Bradley's torso,
he attempted to remove the backstrap that was currently on the firearm while it was still loaded.
At some point, the firearm discharged.
Luckily, the occupant of that room had just checked into the hotel
and was walking to their room when the shot was fired.
So there was no one injured. I will quote again from the report. Initially, the agent thought the gunshot came from somewhere else and he yelled, shots fired, and then told his wife he had to go and hang up. Shaber then felt heat on the left side of his body, looked down and saw the damage to his shirt and realized the shot had come from his own weapon. He said the round went through his sweatshirt and the shirt underneath but did not penetrate his underarm compression layer or injure him. It seems like this person was attempting to report.
pair or remove apart from his gun that was still loaded and he didn't think to unload the gun.
All of this is stuff you shouldn't do, right?
Yeah.
You have to check before you do stuff to a gun to make sure it's unloaded.
And even when you've checked to make sure it's unloaded, you should still act like it's loaded
and do stuff like not have your finger on the trigger and make sure it's clear of a holster
so that there's nothing that like,
especially like a leather holster,
where maybe stuff could get bowed in and pull the trigger.
You just don't do any of the things he was doing with a gun,
especially if you're a cop,
but also you do all the things he did with a gun if you're a cop
because this happens regularly.
Yeah, at this case, a 30-year veteran
who had just returned after two years of retirement.
I want to talk a little bit now about Liam Conejo-Ramos.
This is the five-year-old who was detained in Minneapolis last month.
people will remember seeing images of him in a like a blue bunny hat.
Liam and his father were detained on 20th of January in his driveway after returning from school.
They were order released by Judge Fred Beery, who wrote in his order,
quote, observing human behavior confirms that for some among us,
the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest
known no bounds and are bereft of human decency,
and the rule of law be damned.
You could tell the judge was incredibly pissed off for the government.
I'll put it that way.
DHS then attempted to expedite the removal of Conejo Ramos and his family,
but the family were granted a continuance by his judge.
Liam and his father, his father is Adrian Conejo Arias.
I've seen like various permutations of his father's name,
I think perhaps because some people doing reporting are not familiar
with how last names are generally configured in the Spanish-speaking world.
So I'm not quite sure how his last name is pronounced.
But Liam and his father entered in December of 2024.
When they were detained, they were detained at Dilly.
Dilley is a detention center for families, right?
It is a place that I have reported on before.
In my Darius'Urhus and Kimbabli,
I spoke about Primrose and Kimberley,
who were both detained at Dilley,
and they went into some detail about the conditions there.
I'm glad to see that Dilley is getting more attention
in sort of bigger, more legacy media outlets now.
I also saw that there was a protest at Dilley,
seemingly while Liam was there,
and we can see this because of drone footage
of people walking out of the buildings
and assembling in sort of spaces in between the buildings,
and they can be heard chanting in some of that footage.
Now I want to move on to something I've seen DHS doing recently, which is they're trying to push back against the evidence that they are using schools and children as bait to detain non-citizens, right?
I just spoke about how Liam was detained, right?
It was the fact that he was at school that allowed those agents to target his father, right?
I believe they got Liam to knock on the door and his dad came out, which obviously was part of the reason that this between.
particular attention was so controversial.
DHS in a post on
X said, quote,
ICE is not going to schools to arrest
children. A dangerous illegal
alien felon fleeing into a school
or a child sex offender working as
an employee may create a situation
where an arrest is made to protect
public safety. Criminals are no longer
able to hide in America's schools
to avoid arrest.
Potus Trump and Secretary Nome
trusts our brave law enforcement
to use common sense. We will not
tie the hands of law enforcement officers,
they must be allowed to protect children from public safety threats.
Obviously, if someone is a sex offender,
they can't work at a school, right?
That's how background checks work.
The DHS tweet includes a screenshot of a Houston Chronicle article,
which details how HISD has lost 4,000 students
due to the ice crackdown, right?
This is students who are, for the most part, afraid to come to school,
and they've seen a 22% decline in migrant student enrollment.
Obviously, I just want to note that ICE has detained parents outside schools.
And a note of an instant last year, they detained a 15-year-old disabled boy in Los Angeles.
Finally, from me, I want to talk about some legislation that is being proposed in the State of Washington.
The State of Washington's House Bill 2321 proposes legislation that focuses on
what it calls blocking features that must be integrated into 3D printers to prevent their use
in creating firearms. Blocking features are, I'm quoting here, a software controls process that
deploys a firearms blueprint detection algorithm such that those features identify and reject
print requests for firearms or illegal firearm path with a high degree of reliability and
cannot be overridden or otherwise defeated by a user with significant technical skill.
What this would effectively do is either prevent the sale of 3D printers in Washington State
or install state-level spyware onto 3D printers,
which would obviously be able to be used for things far beyond firearms.
And people have notably been 3D printing whistles a great deal in Minneapolis right there.
So there's been lots of coverage of this.
I think it would be very naive for people to think that this would start and end
with the creation of unregistered firearms.
Yeah.
No, they'll go, I mean, they'll do stuff like try to enforce games, workshops,
copyrights, and stop them for printing models or whatever.
Exactly, right?
Like, it opens a whole world of IP enforcement in 3D printing.
And it more or less ends.
The thing that I find beautiful about 3D printing is not that, like,
I can make little plastic things in my office.
It's that it shows me that people will choose to create beautiful and innovative things,
even when there is not a profit incentive for doing so.
Yes.
And here's the thing.
It would be a different discussion
if this were a country
where the only way to get a gun
was to 3D print it, but it's not.
Yes.
Washington State, right?
You do not have to drive that far
from Washington State to a state
where it would be perfectly legal
to do a private party transfer
in the Walmart parking lot.
Yep.
And also, there's just a lot of guns in Washington.
Yeah.
Like there are in Oregon.
Like there are.
is everywhere in the country.
And to the extent that 3D printed firearms are used for crime, they tend to be used
like specifically in gang crime, where if the 3D printed gun isn't available, the
professional criminals will access a separate gun.
Americans are not overwhelmingly using 3D printed firearms to shoot up schools.
They're using perfectly normally purchased firearms to shoot up schools.
Yeah, that's what we do.
because this country is full of guns.
Yeah, the state of California is also pursuing a case against 3D printed firearms code hosting websites.
California passed an extremely broad law last year that prohibits the hosting, distribution,
and promotion of the, quote, unlawful manufacture of firearms.
This has significant repercussions for the First Amendment, right?
Like, the code itself is not a tangible thing.
It's not a gun.
It is speech.
But in this case, it is the instruction.
and allow the machine to create gun, right?
Yeah.
It appears that there are over a hundred other people indicted in this case.
I'm guessing that those are probably the designers who posted their STLs for firearms on the catalog.
I think that the evidence also suggests that's unlikely to hold up in court.
Yeah.
Because like right now, there's a case over the Kansas laws that are mandating, like, you have age,
basically restrictions on websites and the like.
Yeah.
And there was a lawsuit from like a mom who alleged that despite this, her kid was able to access a website that was located out of the state because it didn't have any of these restrictions.
And the judge in Kansas ruled like, well, our law doesn't restrict people in other states.
They don't have to have like this.
Like that's just you can't actually enforce this.
Yeah.
So we'll see how it goes in California.
Yeah.
California's suing for damages in this case.
It's a civil case on a criminal one.
Sure.
But still, I mean, there have been a lot of cases.
about 3D printed guns and how they are covered under the First Amendment.
So, yeah, I'm going to keep an eye on this because I guess there are attacks on the First
Amendment from just about every angle right now.
And I think we should pay attention to that.
That is all I have.
Shall we take a little break and then talk about paedophiles?
Sure.
I love talking about paedophiles.
That's what we do.
I don't.
Canadian women are looking for more.

Welcome to the A building.
I'm Hans Charles.
I'm Minalick Lamuba.
It's 1969.
Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
had both been assassinated.
And Black America was out of breaking point.
Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale.
In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Al-Mermata,
Morehouse College, the students had their own protest.
It featured two prominent figures in black history,
Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson.
To be in what we really thought was a revolution.
I mean, people would die.
1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone.
The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago.
This story is about protest.
It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

What is one thing about love you've had to unlearn?
That it's earned.
That it needs to be forever for it to count.
February is the month of love.

it's a great time to reflect on yourself and what you want.
I'm Hope Woodard, host of the voiceover podcast,

This February, get in touch with yourself by listening to Boy Sober.
That's B-O-Y-S-O-B-E-R.
I'm like, I would love to not hate the man.
I'm sleeping with.
I don't know what that's about.
Listen to Boy Sober.
on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
We're back.
This is another, yet another episode of the Pito Files.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I volunteered to do this section.
These are Epstein updates as of today, which is Wednesday.
Yeah.
February 11th, there were quite a few things.
We just finished recording a four-parter on him for bastards, and there's more new shit.
Yeah.
It just keeps coming.
It is endless.
It really is.
I want to start off, which at the top of the week,
Elaine Maxwell was supposed to speak to the House Oversight Committee,
and she was called in for questioning,
and during a video call,
just so folks know she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking
at a federal prison camp in Texas,
but she invoked her Fifth Amendment right to avoid answering questions
that would be self-incriminating.
this was expected, but her lawyer's statement was interesting, so I'm going to read it to the audience now.
Members of the committee, on my advice, Glenn Maxwell respectfully invoke her Fifth Amendment right to silence and decline to answer your questions today, even though she would very much like to answer your questions.
She must remain silent because Ms. Maxwell has a habeas petition, clearly pending that demonstrates that her conviction rests on a fundamentally unfair trial.
For example, jurors lie during void year to secure seats on the jury and the government promised immunity and then broke that promise.
Louis Discoast documents now demonstrate these facts conclusively.
If this committee in the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path.
Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly, if granted clemency by President Trump.
Sure.
Only she can provide the complete account.
Oh, I'm bad.
Some may not like what they hear, but the truth.
truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any
wrongdoing, Ms. Maxwell alone, can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation.
Thank you. Look, I'll talk to Donald Trump if I can get immunity for some things.
She's like, by the way, would love to speak.
Gonna need immunity. Yeah.
The guy that could grant me clemency, I can vouch for that guy.
That's the most doesn't commit crimes thing a person could possibly say.
Wild.
Yeah.
I'm moving on to another guy that was all over the Epstein files, Casey Wasserman.
Casey Wasserman.
Robert just said that like you knew the guy.
Oh, yeah, no, that's what I always called him.
Casey Wasserman, he's the founder and CEO of Wasserman, which is a talent agency slash sports marketing agency.
and the reason I'm bringing this up is for two reasons.
There's two things I want to discuss here.
The first one is that since this got announced,
he's had major clients, major stars, as well as athletes,
say, that's gross.
And I'm not going to work with you anymore.
And I've left the agency, which is fucking cool.
Which is good.
It's what you should do if you find out that you are working for someone in the Epstein files.
Yeah.
Someone who was specifically communicating consistently with Epstein after his conviction, right?
There's a lot of people who are.
are named in the files.
A lot of random journalists whose articles got shared in the files or something.
Yes, yes, yes.
Big name stars here.
We're talking like Chapel Roan.
You're so annoyed.
You're so annoyed.
Like, Chapel Roan was probably the first big name to be like, ew, I'm out.
Yeah.
And another big part of this is Casey Wasserman is leading the preparations for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games that are going to be located in Los Angeles.
and per Fox LA, the LA
2028 board officially supported
Chair Casey Wasserman on Wednesday
rejecting calls for his recognition
following an independent misconduct review
while multiple L.A. elected officials
demanded he step down.
The board cited his strong leadership
and cooperations as reasons for his retention.
Ew.
I can't believe the good name of the Olympics
finally has a stain on its right now.
Right. Who would have thought?
Can you imagine the Olympics
being associated with a bad man.
I loves the Olympics.
This sucks.
How will I watch trampoline?
Uh-huh.
What about Luge?
Wait, no, that's only in the winter.
That's happening.
Yeah, you can watch Luge.
Yeah, you're right, you're right.
The one good sport in the Olympics
is already happening, so we're fine.
We have to be clear on this.
Luge has no links to the Jeffrey Epstein files
that we know of.
The Italian Luge Olympics,
completely clean, no problems.
Now I want to move on to probably
the biggest story of the week, which is
Attorney General
Pam Bondi took
heated questions from lawmakers and a competitive
congressional hearing over
the Justice Department's handling and the files
related to Jeffrey Epstein that exposed
sensitive private information about victims
despite redaction efforts
per the AP.
She framed-mogged everyone
at this hearing. In my opinion,
this was the most outrageously unprofessional,
shameful, centurable, and
sickening congressional hearing in
history and she is a disgrace and disgusting. And yeah, I want to get into a little bit of it.
I want to start by playing a clip from Representative Raskin. He's the Democratic congressman
from Maryland, and he is the Democratic Ranking House member of the committee on the judiciary.
You're running a massive Epstein cover up right out of the Department of Justice. You've been
ordered by subpoena and by Congress to turn over six million documents, photographs, and videos.
in Epstein files, but you've turned over only three million.
You say you're not turning over the other three million because they're somehow duplicative,
but we know that there are actual memos of victim statements in there,
and you also took down the Department of Justice's prosecution memo from 2019.
So it's clearly not all duplicative, but even if it were, why not release it?
Just release all the duplicative stuff.
In the half you did reduce, you redacted the needs.
names of abusers, enablers, accomplices, and co-conspirators, apparently to spare them embarrassment and
disgrace, which is the exact opposite of what the law ordered you to do.
Even worse, you shockingly failed to redact many of the victim's names, which is what you
were ordered to do by Congress.
Some of the victims had come forward publicly, but many had not.
Many had kept their torment private, even from family.
and friends, but you published their names, their identities, their images on thousands of pages
for the world to see. So you ignored the law, and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal,
you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded
cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused, and trafficked.
This performance screams cover-up.
I can't even begin to describe how vile and disgusting it is that they have doxed these survivors of Epstein without their consent.
Yeah.
It is traumatizing enough that they had to endure this.
Now they've had what happened to them put on display, and now they are going to be targeted.
and they have not had the ability to speak up if they wanted to on what happened.
But the government, despite being told to not out these survivors, did it, but covered the names of the people that committed these crimes.
It is unspeakably disgusting.
Sorry.
Well, I feel great.
It's really upsetting.
Yeah.
It's really deeply disgusting and upsetting.
For sure.
I thought ranking member Raskin spoke very clearly here,
and I appreciated his statement.
Yeah.
Moving on,
Bondi's tactics during this were to deflect, deflect, deflect.
There was a couple of instances that I want to play for everyone now.
Yeah.
You could assign this to a class.
And like, if you're talking about every way that, like, the modern Republican Party tries to deflect culpability for anything negative, like, they all got deployed one after the other in this.
So there were Epstein survivors in person and Fondy wouldn't even look at them.
I want to play a clip from when she's asked to address them here.
To the survivors in the room.
If you are willing, please stand.
And if you are willing, please raise your hands if you have still not been able to meet with this Department of Justice.
Please know for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
Attorney General Bondi, you apologize to the survivors in your opening statement for what they went through at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein.
Will you turn to them now and apologize for what your Department of Justice has put them through with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information?
Congresswoman, you set before Merritt Garland sat in this chair twice.
Attorney General Bonding.
Can I finish my answer?
No, I'm going to reconsider.
claim my time because I asked you a specific question that I would like you to answer,
which is, will you turn to the survivors? This is not about anybody that came before you. It is about
you taking responsibility for your Department of Justice and the harm that it has done to the
survivors who are standing right behind you and are waiting for you to turn to them and
apologize for what your Department of Justice system. Members get to ask the questions,
the witness get to answer, and the way they want to answer. The attorney gentleman can respond.
That's not accurate, Mr. Chairman. Because she doesn't like the answer. So, Mr. Chairman,
why? I have asked a question. Didn't she ask Merrick Garland this? I'm reclaiming my time.
And when I will continue to answer. I'm not going to get in the gutter for her theatrics.
The time belongs to the, the gentle lady. The gentle lady has 17 seconds.
Thank you. You're not going to answer this question. So let me just say this.
Chairman, I'll direct it to you. What a massive cover-up.
No, I'm answering a question.
Mr. Chairman, will you restore her time? The witnesses interrupted.
Stop the time. Stop the time. She's doing theatrics. Let me have my time. The gentle lady from Washington controls the time. The gentle lady has 17 seconds. You can, you can proceed with your final 17 seconds.
What a massive cover-up this has been and continues to be. Donald Trump made the release of the Epstein files the center of his political campaign because he thinks.
thought it would benefit him. Then you got into office, Attorney General, claimed to have a client list
only to them say that there was no list. Your deputy, Todd Blanche, met alone with Elaine Maxwell
and transferred her to a minimum security prison. And now you continue the cover-up. And I wish
that you would turn around to the survivors who are standing right behind you. And on a human
level, apologize.
Oh, man.
I yield back.
You have no time to yield back.
Dispicable.
Oh, man.
Disgusting.
Dispigable.
She did not ever turn around and look at these survivors that are in the room.
Later, she loses it again when asked why she hasn't indicated any of the Epstein clients and deflects by saying this.
The Dow, the Dow right now is over, the Dow is over $50,000.
I don't know why you're laughing.
You're a great stock trader, as I hear Raskin.
The Dow is over $50,000 right now.
The S&P at almost $7,000 and the NASDAQs smashing records.
Americans 401Ks and retirement savings are booming.
That's what we should be talking about.
We should be talking about making Americans safe.
We should be talking about what does a Dow have to do with anything?
That's what they just asked.
Are you kidding?
Mr. Jordan.
No, it's not.
You are here for, you are here.
That's common.
You are here for a hearing on the Epstein files.
You are the Attorney General of the United States and you are a fucking piece of shit.
Fucking nightmare.
That's in response to a question about indicting Epstein.
clients.
Yeah.
But you just started talking about the stock market.
Yeah.
In only did she just start talking about it, she clearly came with her stats ready to talk about it, right?
Because the message is it's fine that all this happened and the Trump was involved as long as the economy's good, right?
People shouldn't be complaining.
It's cartoon.
It's cartoon behavior.
Yeah.
Like, it's not even some kind of sophisticated route.
So I just going to look over there.
This would be like in like a British like sketch comedy about the government in like the 80s.
Like this is like, it's wild.
It's truly horrific.
And guess what?
I still have more to share.
Here is an exchange and another attempt for her to deflect.
She tries to bring up Merrick Garland again.
This is with the congresswoman from Vermont.
Didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein, not once when he was.
And also, I want the record to reflect that, you know, with this anti-Semitic culture right now,
She voted against a resolution condemning.
Oh.
Is you.
Oh.
Do you want to go there, Attorney General?
Do you want to go there?
Are you serious?
Talking about anti-Semitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the hot cost.
Really?
Really?
Pretty disgusting.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
She's like, ah, yes.
How can I work in being pro-Israel?
Also, again, right?
She clearly had like, if that.
this person speaks, this is what I will say.
It's very clear. She had a material list of, like, cheat sheet of this is how, when this person
speaks, this is my dirt on this person. When this person speaks, this is my dirt on this person.
There are even photos of the dirt she has piled up on each person. She had a sheet of, like,
people's search histories, just unbelievable deflection, to say the least.
I have one more clip I want to display it, and then I'd like to talk about it a little bit more.
Yeah.
I want to discuss another man, Donald Trump, who is all over the Epstein files.
Like former prince.
Here's a video.
And for reference, this is the very, very popular video of Epstein and Trump,
worth Epstein wearing that denim shirt and Trump and the pink tie.
They're kind of like elbow on each other and talking about ladies.
Yeah.
Laughing at a party.
Yeah, you've seen it.
Yeah.
Former Prince Andrew, Donald Trump attended various parties with Jeffrey Epstein.
I want to know whether any underage girls at that party or at any party that Trump attended with Jeffrey Epstein.
This is so ridiculous and that they are trying to deflect from all the great things Donald Trump has done.
There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime.
Everyone knows that.
This has been the most transparent presidency.
He's the one that asked that those files.
I mean, claim my time.
I got your answer.
You said there's no evidence.
Mr. Chairman, please stop the clock.
He stopped the legislation.
This is ridiculous.
Time belongs to the gentleman from California.
Okay.
I'm going to put up another document from a witness who called the FBI's National Threat
Operation Center because I believe you just lied under oath.
There is ample evidence in the Epstein file.
Don't you ever accuse me of a crime?
I believe you just lie under oath.
And this is all on videotape.
said, there's no evidence of crime. I'm showing you. Here is a witness statement who called
into the FBI's threat operations center. He drove Donald Trump around in a limo. He overheard
what Donald Trump said to Jeffrey on his cell phone. He was so angry he was going to stop a
limo and hurt Donald Trump. And he met a girl who said she was raped by Donald Trump and Jeffrey
Epstein. She later had her head blown off and officers at the scene said that could not have been
suicide. No one
No one at the Department of Justice interviewed this witness.
You need to interview this witness immediately.
Epstein should rot in hell so sure the men who patronizes operation.
And as we say here today, there are over 1,000 sex trafficking victims,
and you have not held a single man accountable.
Shame on you.
If you had any decency, you would resign right after this hearing concludes.
The time of the gentleman has expired.
She did not answer a single question, honestly.
She did not give a yes or no answer.
The Republicans spent the time trying to deflect by, she had like this sheet of like, well, in your state, this person committed a crime.
In your district, this person committed a crime and tried to deflect in every which way.
Congress people aren't law enforcement.
No.
And the Republicans spent the time praising.
her and praising Trump and touting their own agenda. And this is not justice. This is sickening.
I, I, what precedent this sends to people who are survivors of horrific sex crimes.
I mean, the precedent they want to send is don't say shit, right?
That's what I'm saying. That's what it sends.
Yeah.
And we can't allow this to go on.
We have to keep talking about it.
Sorry, I'm just very upset.
Pam Bondi, she is one of the most despicable people in the world.
Oh, yeah.
To get up there with survivors in the room and to not look at them, to not answer a single question.
And to continuously deflect and lie, it's impossibly disgusting.
And very, very, very sad.
Very, very sad.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know what else to say about it.
It's impossibly disgusting and very, very sad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hope that these survivors get some kind of justice someday.
We are not going to forget about them.
We are not going to stop talking about it.
Something has to give here.
This is this, this is not justice.
This is despicable.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen or if anything's going to give in the near future, but people are pissed and hopefully we'll continue to be, which is, I guess all we can hope for is that before much longer the time comes around where we can make sure that these people, including the folks protecting them now, pay.
So, you know, we got any other news? Or has this?
Nope.
It's a real bummer of an ending. Yeah. Well, that's appropriate right now.
Yeah, we reported the news gear, yeah.
I love the news.
We reported the news.
Yep.
James, anything you want to plug at the end here?
Yeah, if you want to email us with news tips, you can email KoolZone tips at
proton.me.
If you want to email us with episode ideas, I will make another email for that, but it makes
it significantly harder for all of us going through the news tips email.
if you just email us with things that you think we should talk about.
So we will try and partition those few things off so that we can deal with both of them separately.
Okay. Bye.
We reported the news.
