This is It Could Happen Here, 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 James Stout and Robert Evans.
Yeah, you are.
This week, we are covering the week of March 20 to March 26.
Short week because we did a late recording last week.
Yep.
We did.
So it's minus one day if my math is correct.
It's been a hard week for many of us because we all really care about group chats and group
chat security is super important to kind of anyone involved in politics.
And whenever we see a breach of this magnitude,
it's really a warning and like a threat to all of us.
So it has been a tough week.
Yeah, like a threat to one is a threat to all.
So like the way I see it, any group chat
that gets compromised.
First they came for Huthy PC's fall group.
That's right.
Next they're gonna come. Could be any any of us could be any of us Jeffrey Goldberg could be lurking in your
Small group that's you and your girlfriend talking about what kind of pizza door he could be there reporting for the Atlantic
You wouldn't know unless you like looked at who was in there and saw his name
Then you would know which is true of all of the people in the Whoopie PC small group.
I guess it is actually pretty easy.
You don't know.
Maybe Jeffrey Goebbels' signal name is like CIA super spy or something and everyone just
assumed he belonged there.
I'm going to start at the beginning because I do assume that actually, as impossible as
it sounds to those of us who wake up and imbibe fucking social media in the morning,
like an addict takes their first hit of crack cocaine,
but in a way that's less healthy
for both our hearts and our brains.
A decent number of people who listen to this podcast
have just kind of like heard vaguely,
like some bits about this.
Yeah, they're wondering what the fuck we're talking about.
What are you doing?
What are you guys doing this?
So we're gonna talk about this group chat.
So first off, couple of basics. So we're going to talk about this group chat.
So first off, couple of basics.
So signal is an app that is end to end encrypted.
That means that if you have signal and your buddy has signal and you're messaging each
other, it's encrypted and it is very hard at this point, unless one of your phones is
directly compromised by a non-state actor or an ex who's really good with computers, no
one else can see what you're messaging each other. So if you and a friend are
like planning what to order on fucking Grubhub tonight when you go play Super
Smash Brothers or whatever, you can keep that secret. Or if you and a friend are
planning what substances to buy that the government might not want you buying, you
can keep that secret. Or if you and your friend simply don't want various media companies taking every detail
and phone carriers, taking every detail of your life's conversations and turning that
into analytics data, you can stop them from doing that.
And if maybe one day you might be engaged in speech that the government might not like,
you can continue to engage in that speech privately without danger.
Or with less danger.
Yeah, with as little danger as it is possible to do.
Especially if your messages automatically explode after anywhere between five seconds to one week.
Right.
Which is a feature Signal has.
Yes, you can automatically set it to delete stuff over a period of time.
You want to, if you're going to use it, turn off the thing where it like pushes messages so that you can like see on your locked phone.
Visible notifications.
Yeah, turn them off because that's a, that'll fuck shit up.
Because then your operating system can read the messages without the encryption.
Yeah.
Similarly, never open a QR code. This is the, really the only way that signal can get compromised
on like scale right now beyond beyond physical infiltration, right?
Like what accidentally happened with Huthy PC Small Group.
But the main other way that signal can get compromised is through malicious QR codes and unknown links.
So really be careful about links as always on the internet and especially be skeptical of QR codes.
Yeah, there's a quote from Herman Gering. I think it was from Herman Garing.
When I hear the word culture, I reach for my revolver.
And I have adapted that Garing quote to the modern era.
When I hear QR code, I reach for my Glock 19.
That's right.
Do not use QR codes.
Yeah, the work of Satan.
Let's explain what Whoopi's PC small group is for the people.
I'm getting to it.
So you've got this app, which is normally used by and has been used for a long time by like protesters and dissidents and journalists to communicate with sources because it's very secure.
The Trump administration takes office.
One thing that they are annoyed about is that when you are government employees, even if you're doing top secret shit, especially if you're doing top secret shit, the kind of meetings about national security planning for like military actions that you are supposed to
only have in something called a skiff.
And a skiff is basically a room in, you know, the West Wing, I think, or the Pentagon, right?
I'm not 100% sure where all the skiffs are, but it's like a room that is incredibly secure
and it is the only place that you are supposed to have certain kinds of
Conversations yes, and in fact if you are having one of those kinds of conversations in a skiff
No one not even the president or the vice president is allowed to have a phone in there
It is a very strict rule. You don't take phones into the skiff because none of them are fucking scared
Now the problem is all these communications all of this stuff is documented and potentially foyerable.
Maybe not immediately because there's always security concerns.
They have the ability to redact stuff.
But in 20 years, perhaps.
But at some point...
Yeah, it might be archived even if it's not foyerable.
People who are in charge of our military now didn't like that and were like, hey, what if we all just
did it through a single group? And they did to plan for an attack that started March 15th
against the Houthis. Now you will remember the Houthis from the episode James and I did.
I mean, from other stuff too, because they're all over the news.
Yeah. From, you know, the Houthis.
The Houthis stuff. James and I did an episode recently about a regular naval warfare and
you check it out. That's all still pretty relevant. Better known for their other work. Yeah, better
known for their other work. The Biden administration was like, we can probably take care of these
guys with airstrikes. And it didn't really work. And the Trump administration was like,
we can do a better job of taking these guys out with airstrikes. And at this point, it's
too early to say if it worked or not. But I'm gonna guess probably didn't probably not just generally given the history
Maybe but they say they killed a lot more high-value targets and top missile guys main missile guy quote. I don't know
I'm not I don't know. I'm not privy to the information
They're working off of or how much it matters at this point, right? So we'll see you you're not in that signal chat, Robert
I'm not in that signal chat. They have not accidentally added me. I'm in too many signal chats, frankly.
Yeah, yeah. I could be, and I might not know. We all are in too many. I might be in several
government ones and be totally unaware of it because there's too many notifications
on my phone. That shit's muted. I'm not seeing that. Yeah. So they decide we're going to
plan an attack on some Houthis. We're going to be hitting them with stuff and we should probably all get, we need to
get all of these different kind of people from different chunks of the, you know, the
government together.
So we got to have JD Vance and his representative because usually Vance is too busy to respond.
And we got to have the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and his representative.
We got to have the DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, her representative.
We got to have the head of the CIA, his represent- you know, that kind of thing.
There's a few more people in there.
Mark Rubio.
Mark Rubio, right?
Sex estate, you know, and his representative, right?
Stephen Miller.
Stephen Miller.
I don't know that Miller had a representative.
He feels like he handles a lot of this stuff on his own, but-
Yeah.
On his phone too much, Stephen Miller.
Yeah.
Chronically online, Stephen Miller. Yeah chronically online Stephen Miller
Yeah, and you have the head you have the head of I think sent calm was in there
anyway, you got all these people in there and
While they're setting this up all the invites are going out because the way you do it with signal is you click a button that Says like start a new group you name the new group in this case
they named the group who the PC small group right and
Shit, what does PC stand for in this politically correct which honestly I thought that we were over
Yeah, you'd think so, huh? Don't say any slurs in the group chat. That's us. What it's just a reminder
Yeah, yeah, no slurs in the small group chat planning committee. I'm guessing yeah planning committee who the planning committee small group
Sorry, I had that written down somewhere
So they make this group chat and they invite a bunch of people.
And here's one of the ways Signal works is that if you're just importing your contacts
into Signal, it'll find the guys who have Signal and it'll just show you based on whatever
name you have for them in their phone, right?
That they're on Signal and you can just invite them.
Otherwise you can set what your Signal name is going to be.
And so when people type in your phone number or whatever, they'll see that.
Or if you send them an invite, that's the name they'll see.
This brings us, I got to take an aside to talk about a guy who is not a member of the
Trump administration and who is not a member of government, a man named Jeffrey Goldberg,
born in 1965.
He is currently the co-editor of The Atlantic.
Prior to this, he had what some people would call an illustrious career.
He grew up in Malvern on Long Island.
Surely Malvern.
Malvern, yeah.
I'm looking at his Wiki here, which just has the line that his neighborhood was mainly
Catholic and he described it as a wasteland of Irish pogromists.
Oh, Jesus.
I bet he had a fun childhood.
Okay. Interesting. Interesting, Jeffrey. Fasc bet he had a fun childhood. So, okay.
Interesting, interesting, Jeffrey.
Fascinating stuff there.
Interesting.
So, after college, or kind of while he's in college, he leaves and he goes to Israel because
he wants to serve in the IDF during the Intifada, the first one, as a prison guard.
Jesus Christ.
Which is where Palestinian participants in the interphobe were being held and
Yeah, he he had like a an interesting conversation with this PLO leader
Who is also like a math teacher who I guess they they were able to like discuss their
Zionism or whatever in some way that he found useful
Anyway, weird guy not a I bring this up to be like not a left-wing radical
Like not one of quote-unquote to our guys right when our guys
Not a guy who's probably broadly opposed to most of and in fact to most of what the Trump administration is doing
Especially who the airstrikes frankly. Yes now he has pissed off. It's fair to say he has really pissed off
Trump a number of times right because he wrote some articles
He wrote that 2020 article in the Atlantic about when Trump said I just want to say he has really pissed off Trump a number of times, right? Because he wrote some articles,
he wrote that 2020 article in the Atlantic
about when Trump got caught saying
that Americans who died in wars are losers and suckers,
which is based on sourcing that he had.
So he's also attracted their ire,
but he's again, generally I would say
like more on the bootlicker side of things,
like he's just kind of like a nat-sec cheerleader, right?
That would be a fair way to describe Jeffrey.
I don't know that he would entirely disagree
with that description of himself, you know?
Yeah, like a neolimp guy, yeah.
That said, he's not so much of one
that he's unwilling to report critical stuff,
which is what happens here.
So he gets an invite on his phone
that it just takes him into this PC, Hootie Small Group.
And people have done the work.
There's another guy in the Trump administration
whose initials are JC.
John Greenbrier, I believe.
Yeah, I think it was John Greenbrier.
And the person who,
cause there was some debate initially
about like who invited him.
Cause after this came out,
there were allegations that he snuck his way in or whatever.
We now know based on the evidence
that he was inadvertently invited by national security
advisor Michael Waltz, right?
As evidenced by the signal screenshots.
Yes, yes.
There's lots of screenshots.
Jeffrey did his, you know, the job of documenting it.
Eventually.
Right.
Well, he documented it right away.
Yes.
So now here's the thing.
From the beginning here, Jeffrey is having the natural reaction.
I will say this for all my critiques of him. He has the reaction
I think any minimally competent journalists would have someone's fucking with yeah. Yeah, this is like something to like get me
Yeah, you don't get invited into a chat with the SEC deaf in the head of the CIA planning a military strike, right?
Yeah, that just doesn't happen. I've been a journalist for a while. That's not occurred to me
Yeah, that's not does not really go down. So he's like trying to figure out what the fuck's going on like what's happening and he's like he's making a note
He's documenting stuff is there and they're talking about like weapons packages. Like these are the kind of weapons
This is where they're striking and then as the strikes go and they're being like this guy headed into his girlfriend's house
We're hitting it house blew up. He's dead, right?
Like the exchange was very funny because the way he phrased it was like it completely baffled JD Vance.
Yes.
Let me pull this up because it was pretty funny.
No, please. Please.
Michael Waltz. VP. Full stop.
Building collapsed. Full stop.
Had multiple positive ID. Full stop.
Pete. Corilla. The IC. Amazing job.
JD Vance replies, what? Michael Waltz. Typing
too fast. Full stop. The first target. M-Dash. Their top missile guy. M-Dash. We have positive
idea of him walking into his girlfriend's building and now it's collapsed. JD Vance
replies, Excellent. At this point, Michael Waltz responds with the 5th emoji, American
flag emoji, flame emoji.
Yeah, so it's great.
And once it becomes very clear what's happening,
number one, rather than stay in the group,
see if maybe he could get invited to other groups,
just kind of like keep track of what was going on.
Again, being a guy who's like primary concern,
and I really do think Goldberg's primary concern here
was the security of US soldiers.
The national security of the United States.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, as opposed to like, is any of this legal?
Are they like, like his is just like,
these people are not being secure, like with,
I mean, like this could, if the wrong person
got invited into a group like this,
it could potentially endanger the lives of airmen and stuff.
That's not my primary concern with all this, right?
But that is his, you know?
And so he hops out of the group, he leaves,
and he puts out this article and he redacts most,
other than what's happened,
which is a story in and of itself,
he like goes out of his way,
like there's people who are like in intelligence
that are in this that he has their names. And he's like, I am not naming them because they're serving intelligence officers,
and that's a no-no. He doesn't, like, specifically give up, other than that this is happening,
anything that's, like, particularly dangerous, right? But this is the kind of thing, as soon
as it comes out, obviously it's a furor, and it's unlike most of the time when everybody gets like pissed. It seems like it might have some legs because
it's just such a what the fuck moment, right?
And it's so contrary to like so much of the messaging coming from from the Trump administration
regarding you know, like digital security, Hillary's emails,
prosecuting individual soldiers for any like, like, you know, losing a night vision goggle,
right?
It's kind of the classic one.
Leaking information, how this administration's gonna crack down on all information leaks,
you know, that sort of stuff.
At one point, Hexess says, we are clear for OpsSec, which I thought was pretty funny.
The funniest message in this Signal group is that we're all good on OpsSec, that he
says in a group chat with a journalist.
Yeah. Yeah. It's super funny.
Yeah. Everything that's happening here is very funny.
I basically want to move on to like what's what's going to happen next,
which is they are going to try to nuke Jeffrey Goldberg.
Like they're going to try to send him to a prison,
if not a literal like El Salvadorian work camp.
Right. Like that that is going to be their next goal here.
Yeah, he embarrassed these people like to an extent that it's,
I mean, anyone in uniform would have been court-martialed
for this kind of security fuck-up.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I mean, in times of war in the past,
if like the version of this had happened in World War II,
they would have just executed whatever soldier did this.
Like, yeah, you don't have to be a spy
if you're incompetent enough to just bumble into
shit. It's the same result. I did want to address really quickly, like, a couple of
things. One, I saw this USA Today article that was like, oh, it's so relatable that
they made this mistake of adding someone to the group chat. That was not the mistake.
The mistake was coordinating things that should be classified, things that should be, quote
unquote, high side on personal devices using using Signal as opposed to a state department or government issued device which doesn't
have your personal contacts to avoid all this, like a device which is not hackable, a device
which is not being exposed to QR codes, for example.
Yeah, to make sure that in your contacts there's not two guys named JG.
JG, yeah.
So you might add the wrong JG to your Yemen bombing chat.
Yeah. Haven't we all added the wrong person to a group chat? And it's like, I mean, yeah, but I've never like bombed Yemen.
Yeah, yeah.
Like for bombing Yemen. Yeah, yeah. It's not the same thing. It's not the same thing as a birthday party.
Yeah, like I have two friends named John and I added the wrong one to a group about like planning a mutual friends birthday party
But like again minimal damage. Yeah. Yeah. No no service people's lives are put at risk
I did also want to point out this at one point Waltz says or Michael Walls who's a national security advisor
Yeah, not not not the other one. Yeah, that would be pretty funny. They'd have him as well
He was just in there. Yeah, it seems cool, put him in the group, fuck it.
What, a dude likes to shoot pheasants in Paris? Seems nice.
He seems to be friends with JD Vance, wouldn't be surprising.
So, one of the things Wall says, which is bizarre, is that European navies are incapable
of defeating Houthi weapon systems, which just isn't true. There was a coalition of
20 different states running operations in the Red Sea last year.
And again, like France has a Navy, like they've got nuclear submarines.
They could end the world.
To cite one example, HMS Diamond, which is a British ship,
shot down a Huthi missile last year.
The UK also air struck Huthi targets last year.
Yeah, I've watched the UK carry out air strikes.
I feel like they're very capable.
Uh, look what the Iranian, what the Houthis have is Iranian 358s to just get really nerdy
for a second, right?
Which are not really a threat to modern fighter aircraft.
It's like a loitering munition, maybe a drone.
Yeah.
But no, no, like aircraft, not a manned or personed aircraft.
The primary point of how the Houthis are conducting their strikes is not,
we're going to knock all of these ships out of the sea.
It will create an unsustainable insurance situation for a lot of merchants
if there's just always kind of missiles.
Even if we never really or almost never hit anybody.
That doesn't really matter.
You got to deal with the insurance thing.
Yeah.
It's going to make that much more expensive and that, that, that particular
part of global trade much more difficult to conduct.
So far the Trump administration has doubled down on its response.
This is pretty funny.
Carolyn Levitt on Twitter, X I guess, called Goldberg.
She's the White House press secretary, I believe.
Press, that's correct. Yeah, White House press secretary.
She called Goldberg a quote Trump hater and also claimed the story was a quote
hoax and a quote sensationalist spin. They are also right now claiming that
quote war plans and quote attack plans are different things. The information they leaked
was too specific to constitute a war plan.
Both of these things are kind of ludicrous claims, right? Like very clearly, this is stuff that should be classified very clearly.
It's stuff that put those people's lives at risk in the event that the Houthis
had any means to respond to like F-18s, which I don't think they do really.
I like it.
Nah.
But, you know, Iran, who absolutely is a state backer of the Houthis does have the
ability, at least in theory, they've kind of shown their ass a bit in the last year or two with Israeli strikes in Iran.
Yeah, it's not the ability to easily interdict these kinds of strikes, but certainly the ability to, and more importantly, kind of the ability to survive them to mitigate the damage that they can do. Sure, sure, to go underground or go somewhere else. And like those planes are vulnerable when they're at like certain points in their trajectory, I think.
So, you know, it's generally very poor to broadcast exactly what you're doing when, where and how.
It's kind of just a basic of like military stuff that you really don't want people to know
exactly when you're sending dudes in to do what.
Yeah, yeah, there was a very funny meme going around, which basically had like imagined
if the same discussion had been had about D-Day in 1944.
And yeah, that wouldn't have gone so well if they had broadcast.
There's been a lot of great posts.
I'm looking at one by Katie Nautopoulos on Twitter right now.
Having read through the full Huthie PC small group blogs, I've come to the sad realization
that I'm the JD Vance of my group chats,
overly emotional, slightly unprofessional, confused by whatever else is saying,
because I won't scroll up continually derails plans with late.
Objections. So good.
Oh, that's so good.
It is that is that is really funny.
That is brutal. Yeah.
It is interesting to see their dynamics.
It's interesting to see kind of Stephen Miller seems to have the decisive word on like, let's go ahead with this.
Oh yeah.
Speaking directly for the president.
That's it. What's interesting is no one ever says the president has approved this.
The president has said do this. Like Miller says something along the lines of like,
we're going forward with this or I've been told we're going forward with this.
Yeah.
Which is again, not in terms of,
it's a very Hitler way of doing things.
Right, yeah.
Like there's this, I talk about this in the show,
there's this decades long debate about,
did Hitler literally order the Holocaust,
or did he just kind of keep making it clear to people
that if they kept moving in a more Holocaust-y direction,
that would endear them to him?
Yeah, intentionality.
Aspects of both are true, but like, yeah,
this is definitely kind of example of that latter thing
where Trump is probably like,
yeah, somebody should probably fuck up those Houthis.
And then Stephen Miller goes like,
yeah, Trump said, you know, we're good, keep moving forward.
But he's also, Miller's not dumb.
He's not gonna say Trump said to do this.
He's gonna say-
He's been delegating so much more than his first term
to the point where his presidency
is just
Projecting a certain vibe that then other people have to carry out all of the details for it
Yeah, this is very similar to the Hitler regime. Yeah. Yeah, there is a term for this at the time in the Third Reich
It's called working towards the Fuhrer. Okay, right where you're not going to get direct guidelines
You're supposed to figure out what he wants and move closer to it. Yeah, no, exactly. Yeah.
No, that's kind of been his his new governing style.
It's a lot smarter in terms of like just like, you know, getting documents to sign
and then projects certain certain like slogans or vibes
that then everyone who works under him, which is at this point,
it's maybe like roughly 200 people tops have to all like figure out to like
how to
enact this thing that they think he wants.
Yeah, like even to the extent that he himself was saying he didn't sign the evocation of
the Alien Enemies Act that Rubio did.
His signature is on it in the federal record, but clearly it's kind of a Rubio or it seems
from that it's a Rubio concoction that he just greenlit.
Just a quote from Miller in case anyone's wondering exactly what he said.
As I heard it, the president was clear, colon, green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt
and Europe what we expect in return.
So yeah, he never specifically says the president has okayed this, but yeah.
Obviously people in Europe really pissed.
I've seen some statements from government ministers in the United Kingdom.
The sort of maligning of Europe and its military powers is obviously going to piss those people off.
Talking of pissing people off, should we pivot to advertisements?
We should, which does not piss me off. It makes me really happy to consume.
Garrison personally consumes all the products and services that support this show.
Yeah, that's definitely not true.
It's the only thing that Garrison consumes.
Which is why they have Pellegrra.
I don't know what that is, but sure. And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith. That's my daughter, man, who my wife has always said is just a beardless, d***less version
of me.
And that's the name of our podcast, Beardless D***less Me.
I'm the old one.
I'm the young one.
And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard.
Sounds innocent, doesn't it?
A lot of cussing, a lot of bad language.
It's for adults only.
Or listen to it with your kid.
It could be a family show.
We're not quite sure.
We're still figuring it out.
It's a work in progress.
Listen to Beardless D***less Me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts on November 5th, 2018 at 6 33 a.m.
A red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in sleep hole valley.
The driver's seat door was open.
No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape lodged in the
player. On that tape were ten vile, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

que?
Yeah.
Then tune in to Locatora Radio, Season 10 today.
OK.
I'm Dioza.
I'm Mala. The host of Locatora Radio, a radio phonic novella.
Which is just a very extra way of saying.
A podcast.
We're launching this season with a mini series.
Totally nostalgic.
A four part series about the Latinos
who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s.
It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K, 2000s.
My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundoz and MTV3.
You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen, all the
girlies doing their things, all of the beauty reflected right back at us.
It was everything.
Tune in to Look atatora Radio Season 10.
Now that's what I call a podcast.
Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Sonoro and iHeart's MyCultura Podcast Network present
The Setup, a new romantic comedy podcast
starring Harvey Guillen and Christian Navarro.
The Set Up follows a lonely museum curator
searching for love.
But when the perfect man walks into his life.
Well, I guess I'm saying I like you.
You like me?
He actually is too good to be true.
This is a con.
I'm conning you to To get the Delano painting,
we could do this together.
To pull off this heist,
they'll have to get close
and jump into the deep end together.
That's a huge leap, Fernando, don't you think?
After you, Chulito.
But love is the biggest risk they'll ever take.
Fernando is never going to love you
as much as he loves this doll.
Chulito, that painting is ours.
Listen to The Setup as part of the MyCultura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we are so bad.
Yeah, what's rending my additions?
James.
Yeah, okay.
I'll just start.
So very amusingly, that's probably concerning for him, Judge Boasberg, the same person who
issued a tentative restraining order against the Trump administration for the rendition
of people to Venezuela, has also been assigned the signal lawsuit, an American oversight
versus head-to-head. So that guy, the one who Trump already called for his impeachment,
right, has another crucial case in front of him.
What the Trump administration has done in the court case pertaining to the rendition
of people to El Salvador is invoke the state secrets privilege in court and very ironic or very very ironic they're
talking about state secrets now having just added Jeff Goldberg to the group
chat but that's what they have done you can go back last week to understand sort
of a bit more about where that's coming from if you didn't listen to last week
yeah we did we did a whole episode on it last week yeah it's also continuing to
claim that it didn't quote- quote unquote remove migrants after the tentative
restraining order was issued because they'd already been removed.
The removal happened when they were loaded onto the plane.
Is this argument concurrently with this as a panel hearing?
So that's a panel of three judges, right, which the government is appealing the tentative
restraining order.
During this hearing, second court judge Patricia Millett said, quote, the Nazis received better treatment
under the Alien Enemies Act than these Venezuelan migrants, which is true.
The Nazis had hearings in the 1930s. They didn't just get loaded onto playing the central work camp.
Not a great reflection on where we're at. The Trump administration is trying to challenge
the jurisdiction of Boasberg, saying that he should have filed the same claim in Texas.
Meanwhile, Venezuelan government attorneys are filing a legal claim in El Salvador to
liberate their citizens from Secod.
It's worth noting, of course, that these people, some of them have been tortured by the Venezuelan
government and chose to flee at no small risk to their lives.
If people haven't listened to some of our older stuff,
like I've been to the Darien Gap,
which is the way that the vast majority of Venezuelan migrants come.
You can listen to my episodes about that if you want to know more
about why people are leaving Venezuela.
We have a little more information on some of the people detained.
One of them is a makeup artist,
she's a gay man who was beaten by guards as a US photojournalist watch.
Another one, the Miami Herald is reporting, had been granted legal refugee status.
So it seems that they sort of randomly grabbed tattooed Venezuelans.
Some of these people have been through background checks already, right, at which they will
have disclosed their tattoos.
That's one of the things that they'll be asked about.
And they would have disclosed those. So whether they control EFTIT or how quite how they came
across these people is still a little bit unclear.
A couple of other things regarding to immigration enforcement this week that have come across
my radar, but probably don't matter a whole episode. It's been reported that the IRS is
close to an agreement to hand over the tax records of undocumented people. It is claimed
for decades and it won't do this.
This is why most undocumented people pay taxes. Right?
Yeah. Which is something that the conservatives just like don't believe.
Yes. They're like, all these undocumented immigrants aren't paying taxes
like the rest of us. Like, no, actually, they are.
What they're not doing is receiving benefits from those taxes.
Yeah. And yes.
And this is a great way to have people want to pay less taxes if they're
going to get their information sent over to like the Gestapo.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, the whole point was to not provide a disincentive.
This is similar to why California gives drivers licenses to undocumented people and allows
them to insure vehicles, right?
Because you don't want to provide a disincentive to have a driver's license.
You don't want to provide a disincentive to have a driver's license. You don't want to provide a disincentive to have insurance. We have now provided a disincentive
to pay your taxes for undocumented people. So yeah, that will have consequences and it will
have consequences especially in industries, right? Like agriculture and construction,
where large numbers of people tend to be undocumented. Talking of undocumented migration,
the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, reports that he said it's on the All In podcast, he has claimed to have already sold 1000 gold cards.
So gold cards, if you didn't listen to our previous reporting on that.
I feel like I'm getting dizzy. I'm just like...
Yeah, I'm ill.
Yeah, there is no process for applying for receiving a gold card yet. So it's extremely unclear what this means in immigration law terms.
So he just got like a thousand texts from millionaires being like, yeah, I'll buy one
maybe like.
Yeah, well, multi millionaires, five million each, right?
Like, so yeah, apparently not quite clear.
Like, and like he claims that he sold them.
Like, is he going around shopping these around?
Is this how we're going to replace the tax revenue from undocumented people?
Like, no one knows.
No one knows what this means.
Who do you pay?
Like very unclear.
So yeah, that's great.
That is the current situation with immigration.
I also wanted to add that at least three people who are rare have died in San Diego County
on the 14th of March in a storm while crossing the border.
One young woman who survived was found next to the remains of her father who died of exposure
in a winter storm out here.
So yeah, the border continues to be doing violence to some of the most marginalized
people alive, which is great.
We should pop in here.
A story just dropped.
Michael Waltz, the national security advisor,
who invited Jeffrey to that group chat.
Journalists have found his public Venmo.
No.
Every time with the Venmo.
No.
Always the Venmo.
Quote unquote, it's full of journalists.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha. I'm just gonna read a quote from an article on prospect.org.
Unsurprisingly, Fox News holds the highest headcount for reporters in Mike
Waltz's phone. Griff Jenkins, whose Fox.com bio lists him as a Washington-based
national correspondent for Fox, is joined in the list by Brian Kilmeade, co-host
of Fox and Friends. Porter Barry, president and editor of Fox Digital, also made the
cut.
But right-wing reporters are not the only ones represented
in Waltz's Venmo list, which appears to be less than
clean on ObSec, as Secretary of Defense,
Hengsteth wrote.
Leland Vidert, a national correspondent for News Nation,
is also listed on the digital account,
as is Brianna Keeler, an American journalist
who currently serves as co-anchor
of the afternoon edition of CNN News Central.
Lauren Pykoff, an executive producer at MSNBC, is also in Walz's contacts. Earlier this year, Trump tweeted about the network,
Wow, Rachel Maddow has horrible ratings. She'll be off the air soon.
But amidst the broadcasters, producers, and talking heads, one name stands out from the crowd, Judith Miller,
who was summarily fired from the New York Times after it was revealed that her reporting on the Iraq war was categorically false and obtained almost verbatim from Vice President Dick Cheney.
Her dismissal was the price paid for cozying up too close to an administration set on war.
It's just like, okay, we don't check any of this. We haven't locked anything down. Good.
Having your public Venmo itself is crazy. The fact that he's like... The fact that he's getting dinner with journalists and being like,
I'll send you a Venmo request for this sushi.
Yeah.
Oh, man. They've downloaded his entire friends list,
and you can just scroll it.
Yeah, I know. You can see everybody.
Oh, my God.
He's going to get like a $15 Venmo request from Brian Killmead
for getting drinks at a bar. Like what are we doing? Oh
What are we doing? Yeah? Oh, so yeah
Yeah, how well that these people make hundreds of thousands if not billions of dollars. I think so much money. 15 bucks
Yeah, get the bad. It's just one drink in DC. It's so funny. Oh my god
Now I think it's time folks that we take a little bit of a detour and talk
about tariffs
Oh
My god, I love playing that God, I love playing that song.
I love playing that song.
We don't actually have anything to say about tariffs.
Mia's not here.
I will note there's a graph going around
about the potential cost of Guinness
under Trump's tax plan,
which is usually around $7 per pint in the US,
and will now be $22 to $27 after Trump's, you know,
new tariffs for imported alcohol.
That reflects its true value because it's also a meal.
Yes, absolutely. Anyway, we're done. That's all I have to say on tariffs.
As long as the twisted tea pricing doesn't get affected, I'll be fine then. That's good.
Not going to comment.
Now, in some more upsetting news, another student at Columbia has been forced into hiding as
ICE targets her for deportation.
Yoon-Sow Chung is a 21-year-old permanent resident who immigrated to the United States
from Korea with her family when she was seven.
On March 9th, she received a text message from Homeland Security Investigations, reading,
Hi Yun-Sau, this is Audrey from the police.
My job is to reach out to you and see if you have any questions about your recent arrest
and the process going forward.
When are you available for a phone call?
So this message was allegedly in reference to being arrested, among others, at a recent
sit-in protest at Bernard College at Columbia.
She was charged and then released with misdemeanor obstruction.
So after receiving that sketchy text, something that you should never respond to, you should
immediately send to your lawyer.
But after receiving this text, Chung got an email from Columbia Public Safety reading,
quote, the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has asked us to inform you that Homeland Security Investigation agents are
seeking to make contact with you in connection with an administrative warrant for your arrest.
Consistent with the university's practice, we wanted to share this information and their
request with you.
If you are represented by counsel, it may make sense for your lawyer to speak directly
with DHS.
That same day, ICE agents showed up at the home of Chung's parents, and Chung's lawyer
called Audrey from the police, who revealed she was actually an ICE agent, and stated
that there was an administrative warrant for her arrest and that the State Department can
revoke Ms. Chung's residency status. We're going to talk more about what's happened with Ms. Chung after this ad break.
Hey kids, it's me, Kevin Smith.
And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith.
That's my daughter, man, who my wife has always said is just a beardless, d***less version
of me.
And that's the name of our podcast, Beardless D***less Me.
I'm the old one. I'm the old one.
I'm the young one.
And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard.
Sounds innocent, doesn't it?
A lot of cussing, a lot of bad language.
It's for adults only.
Or listen to it with your kid.
Could be a family show.
We're not quite sure.
We're still figuring it out.
It's a work in progress.

Now that's what I call a podcast.
Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get

On November 5th, 2018, at 6.33 a.m., a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch
out in Sleephole Valley. The driver's seat door was open.
No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette
tape lodged in the player. On that tape were ten vile. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! No! Ah!
Grotesque.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
Horrific stories.
That to this day
have been kept restricted from the public.
Until now.
No!
No question!
You feelin' this too?
A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we're back. So when ICE failed to locate this Columbia University student,
they started to enlist the help of
federal prosecutors. I'm going to quote from the New York Times who broke this story.
Quote, on March 10th, Perry Carbone, a high ranking lawyer in the federal prosecutor's office,
told Ms. Ahmad, Ms. Chung's attorney, that the secretary of state, Mark Rubio,
had revoked Ms. Chung's visa. Ms. Ahmad responded responded that Miss Chung was not in the country on a visa and was a permanent
resident.
According to the lawsuit, Miss Carbone responded that Mr. Rubio had quote, revoked that as
well unquote.
So this similar to like a Mahmood Khalil like demonstrates that like they have no idea of
the of the actual like residency status of the people that they're going after. They're just going after non-citizens and may eventually start
going after citizens too. They're just going after people that they assume have the least
amount of protections, whether that's a green card holder, whether that's someone on a student
visa or a work visa. They don't really know going in. They're just going after people.
Then on March 13th, ICE searched two residences on campus with warrants citing a statute for
harboring non-citizens. The Trump administration is arguing that Chung's presence in the United
States hinders the administration's foreign policy agenda.
One 21-year-old student who was the valedictorian at her high school is hindering their foreign policy agenda for attending a sit-in protest.
Her lawyers note that Chung was not by any means a movement leader.
She was simply one of hundreds of students who joined in in nationwide protests against
Israel's actions in Gaza.
Her lawyers write, quote, Ms. Chung has not made any public statements to the press or
otherwise assumed a high profile role in these protests.
She was, rather, one of a large group of college students raising, expressing, and discussing
shared concerns, unquote.
Chung herself had previously faced a university disciplinary process, which found that Chung
was not in violation of any university policy.
So in response to the actions of ICE and Homeland Security
to try to locate and deport her, Chung went into hiding.
Her whereabouts are still unknown as of time of recording.
And her lawyers filed a lawsuit to prevent her deportation,
claiming that ICE actions against Chung are illegal and unconstitutional.
The lawsuit reads, quote,
officials at the highest echelons of government are attempting to use
immigration enforcement as a bludgeon to suppress speech that they dislike, including Ms. Chung's speech. ICE's
shocking actions against Ms. Chung form part of a larger pattern of attempted U.S. government
repression of constitutionally protected protest activity and other forms of speech."
Now, this past Tuesday, a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order
halting efforts
from ICE to detain or relocate Chung.
The judge said that there is, quote, nothing in the record indicating that Chung is a danger
to the community or a, quote, unquote, foreign policy risk, or that she has communicated
with terrorist organizations.
The judge said that there would be, quote, no trips to Louisiana here, unquote, referring
to the movement of Khalil to ICE detention in Louisiana.
Yeah.
A DHS statement said that ICE is going to quote, investigate individuals engaged in
activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization, unquote.
The statement also claimed that Chung would have an opportunity to present her case before an immigration judge.
Which is like contrary to incidents of ICE just deporting people before their legally required hearings.
Even like in defiance of like extra court orders mandating those hearings.
Like ICE is just lying here.
And I think it's worth pointing out like what types of people they are going after, right?
Now one type of person that ICE is going after is is non-citizens who were arrested at protests,
regardless of what they actually did.
This can be anything from standing in the street to doing a sit-in protest, to just
being arrested on campus and removed by campus police or NYPD.
Just any arrest on record that shows you at one of these protests. Yeah.
The other, in the case of like Khalil, like he was never arrested.
He was the subject of a mass doxxing campaign by other students at Columbia, professors,
and other, you know, quote unquote, anti-Semitism organizations, which target high-profile activists
to create like public pressure against them.
And those same lists are now being used by the Trump administration to target students.
Yeah, ETA had one, right?
Or BETA, the ultra Zionist people who are going around attempting to fucking present
people with pages.
I think they were one of the groups that had created a quote unquote deportation list.
So we should just mention that a tough student, Rumeysa Oztzturk was essentially abducted on her way to university, right?
There's video which we'll link in the show notes here. Very very frightening video of her just standing on the sidewalk as
first one man approaches her in like a in like a
like a Navy hoodie put up mask on his face approaches her stops her and then as soon as they start engaging in conversation
She gets surrounded by like five other people all wearing like what I would describe as like a gray man block essentially
Yeah, that they then like pull out badges and they like detain her and it's interesting
Like as they approach most these people are unmasked and then as soon as people realize what's happening like like like people in in the neighborhood
It realized we realized what's happening. They all start pulling up like half-faced masks. Gators.
Gators.
Gators.
They looked to me more than anything, the way Proud Boys dressed a lot in 2019, 2020.
Yeah.
It's extremely concerning when you start seeing these masked people snatching people off the
street. She asked if she can call the cops and they say, we are the police.
It looks like her phone falls out of her hand at some point.
They take her bag.
We know this because it seems like somebody was filming from a building just above.
And you can hear that people say, like, why are you covering your, that person said, why
are you wearing masks?
Why are you covering your faces?
Yeah, the guy, the guy filming is like doing about what he can, given the fact that you have
to assume he had no real idea what was happening initially, other than like something visibly
fucked up.
Like I'm glad he said the things that he said, but yeah.
So yeah, she's a Turkish citizen who is in the States on a student visa in Boston, Massachusetts
or outside Boston, Massachusetts.
Yeah.
She's on an F1 visa.
So just a couple of days to few days before she was seized, she, like her
name was published by Canary Mission, right?
Canary Mission is a Zionist group that is, has been doxing pro-Palestine
or anti-genocide people for several years.
Now she had co-edited an op-ed in the Tufts Daily last year.
That seems to be how they were able to identify her.
But as Garrison said, right, like in terms of how they're picking their
targets right now, it seems to be heavily tied to these vigilante
Zionist far-right groups.
I did see that a judge has already ruled that she shouldn't be left.
She shouldn't be removed from Massachusetts without further consultation with that judge.
We don't know if she has been or not already.
But this is continuing to happen, right?
We talked about it this last week.
I'm going to do a whole episode next week about this issue.
She is in Louisiana.
Sorry, update.
She has already been moved to Louisiana.
Yeah, so I'm just reading a truth out piece here.
Officials initially did not specify where else Turk had been taken.
Kanaabi, it's her lawyer, was unable to reach her.
Later on Wednesday, Kanaabi said in a motion that she was informed by a senator's office
that the student was already transferred to Louisiana.
It's like in a matter of hours, they worked to get her outside of her home state where
she probably has more legal protections.
Yeah, it's not something that's super uncommon.
I've seen them do this with what they call lateral transfers under Title 42,
where they would move people.
Under Title 42, they could immediately return people to Mexico, right?
And what they would do is laterally transfer them along the border
and return them to another location in Mexico,
which obviously led to them being completely dislocated
when they were dropped in Mexico.
Something else that I want to note is the use of this harboring non-citizens warrant.
Like one problem that ICE can run into often is that people can choose just to not answer the door.
ICE usually likes to rely on people that have like already been arrested or already detained by like police, right?
That makes it much easier for immigration officials to find people.
Without that, locating people can be a little bit harder with the use of this harboring
non-citizens warrant that shows there's trying to create this precedent for being able to
actually break into more people's homes, even though she had a permanent resident status.
This is just like in terms of the tactics being used, similar to all these gray man
block people approaching you on the street one by one.
That's a tactic to take note of.
The use of this type of warrant is also something to take note of.
We are already at that point where people are going into hiding.
This is very dystopian YA coded stuff.
You are literally, as a 21-year-old junior, being
forced to go into hiding because federal agents are after you because you sat down.
You sat down in front of a building in protest of a genocide.
You're not even a movement leader.
And this type of thing shouldn't even happen to quote unquote movement leaders, right?
Yeah.
The very First Amendment protects your right to do that.
Exactly. Yeah.
But like, regardless of whether or not you're involved in like the planning, the organization,
what whether or not you're making statements to press, whether or not you're giving speeches,
if you just attend these sorts of things, you are you are a target by what is like, very obviously,
a modern version of like, Gestapo like actions.
Yeah, I think it's also quite revealing that she's somewhat successfully gone into hiding, right?
Like it suggests that their intelligent operation is not so advanced that they were able to immediately find her.
Well, no, because again, the resources to do stuff like trace somebody down by their shoes from like surveillance camera footage exists.
We saw it used on those lawyers who lit a police vehicle
on fire back in 2020.
But there's not really much in the way
of crimes going on here.
And there's so many of these people,
the idea that you would pull all of the footage
that you would need to track every one of these,
it's just not feasible.
And I think they'll just go after someone else
to get the headline. But I'll be following this one with interest because it's sort of an alternative outcome
to the other ones that we've seen so far.
So it'll just be revelatory to see how it goes.
Yeah.
So if you want to contact us about any of this, maybe if you're seeing things happening
on your campus, if you have anything you'd like to share or things you think we've missed, you can do so.
The email address is coolzontips at proton.me.
ProtonMail is an encrypted email service. It's only end-to-end encrypted, like Signal, if you send it from a ProtonMail address.
Don't copy any Atlantic journalists on your email and you should be good to go.
Thank you to everyone who's been sending those messages. It does take time for us to go through
all of them. Not all of them will have a response, but we are reading them. Thank you. I am still
working on a piece on the Lavender Scare. There's a lot of stuff happening regarding, you know,
suppressing and going after trans people in the military.
This takes time, but we are working on that slowly but surely, as well as stuff regarding
ICE targeting students and what's going on in Colombia.
So we appreciate that.
The last thing I want to talk about is this past Monday, the IDF killed two Palestinian
journalists in Gaza in separate airstrikes.
Mohammed Mansour, who works for Palestine Today, was killed, quote, in his house in
southern Gaza alongside his wife and his son without any prior warning, according to Al-Jazeera.
Later that day, the IDF killed 23-year-old Palestinian journalist Hassam Shabat in a
targeted airstrike while he was driving his car in northern Gaza.
I want to read the statement from Hassam.
Quote, if you're reading this, it means I have been killed, most likely targeted by
the Israeli occupation forces.
When all this began, I was only 21 years old, a college student with dreams like anyone
else.
For the past 18 months, I've dedicated every moment of my life to my people.
I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world
the truth they tried to bury.
I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents, anywhere I could.
Each day was a battle for survival.
I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people's side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist.
I risked everything to report the truth, and now I am finally at rest, something I haven't known in the past 18 months. I did all this because I believe
in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honour
of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now, do not stop speaking
about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting.
