You're listening to the dollop.
Is there anybody here who just came in
because they thought it was going to be a comedy show?
Is there?
That's hilarious.
You've made a mistake.
I don't know what's better, that nobody really did?
That a couple people are like, what?
What's going on?
Why are there two of them sitting down right now?
Super weird
What was what
That first guy was the best
The guy who came out
And took his shirt off
And drank water
That uh
The Bert Kreischer guy
Yeah
It's like sober
Bert Kreischer is what you just saw
Bird flu
Yeah
November 25th
Wait we didn't even do the intro
You forgot where you left off
Oh shit
You started it
You're listening to the dollup
Yeah
Jesus Christ
American history
But stop it
No it's getting better
That's, this is like the sinatra, like, I wrote the lyrics on my hand.
I have dementia.
This is like Elvis where someone's like, wise men say, wise men, only fools rush, only what?
Fools, only pools rush in.
Do you know how happy I would be if that's how this podcast worked?
That would be great.
Told me everything to say instead of having to do all the research while you fucking dance around like a monkey.
Come on.
you're listening to the dollop
an American History podcast
Does anyone not know what this is?
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, there's each week,
I, Dave Anthony, read a story
from American history
to a guy who's kind of mean backstage.
Come on.
This is nuts.
Karen Reynolds, who has no idea
what the topic is going to be about.
Everyone thinks he's the nice guy.
I'm a peach.
He's the mean guy.
Shut the fuck up.
You know,
let his name
shut it or I'll shut it.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Ten years.
You know when you create a relationship
and you realize,
my God,
I created the relationship
with my father all over a daughter.
Shut your fucking.
Mouse.
November 25th, 1916.
It's a good year, especially
in Arizona.
The International Workers
of the World Union.
Oh, wow.
Oh, fuck yeah.
What the fuck?
It's a cat.
What the fuck?
Who okay that?
I mean.
Hey, what should we have for our, like, union symbol?
Something where the witches'll sue.
That is fucking...
That's cat fuck.
That is fucking nuts.
And they're letting...
They're like, do the asshole one where the cat shows hole.
Do it where the cat shows whole.
The artist probably gave them one in the front one.
I'm like, no, no, flip it around.
Yeah, flip it, yeah.
Let's see that butthole.
Flip it.
Now that says union.
Can you staple an eraser right under the tail?
Yeah, let's see that hole.
Hey, boss, can we get some dick?
Yeah, we got two notes.
More hole, bigger dick.
Come on.
So the Woblies, the Woblies held their convention in Chicago.
Boo.
Boo.
You guys don't, okay.
A proposal was passed, authorizing $2,000 in funds
to organize minors in the way.
Nice.
That's weird.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, yeah.
They don't care.
Nope.
They were like, nope.
Are any of you guys minors?
Yeah, but watch it.
Easy does it, Christalia.
How's this career going?
Really good.
Really shockingly well.
Why are you still listening to that?
I'm okay.
In January 1917, the IWW Metal Mine Workers Industrial Union
Number 800 was created.
The MMWIW.
What the fuck?
It's too much.
Mew-W.
It's just, it's what the cat says.
Oh, my God.
Mew-Mew!
Mew!
You bastards.
IWW
Organizers then headed West
to organize this time
physical violence, death, and property
destruction were pretty common
during labor fights in the West.
Sure.
Really?
That's the bad part, you guys?
No, that's the good part.
We like fighting.
I'm all for property destruction. You guys know I love it.
I fucking love it.
After this show, we're burning this place down.
That's crazy.
In Arizona, many minors were Mexican-American.
Okay, yeah.
Well, that's a little, that's kind of racist.
The AFL had been letting down minors for a while, if you can imagine.
No, imagine.
So the AFL was too conservative, and miners were pulling out of the state.
as State Union President Moyer
Okay, so President Moyer sucks
and as miners become more militant
he becomes less interested.
And in February 1917, he revoked
the Arizona IUMMSW's charter
saying, quote, the district's attitudes
are too radical.
Always the issue.
Now, Big Bill Haywood.
His quote was, quote,
the Western Federation of Miners
had died with the blade of conservatism
plunged into its art.
Wow.
I mean, he's not fucking around.
Wow.
But he's saying they were too conservative.
Yeah, and that's why they're dying as a union.
Right.
The miners began signing up for the new militant local IWW chapters.
And two months later, a mine lawyer informed the advisory council of the national defense
that the IWW were organizing, quote,
the IWW agitators are sowing seeds of sedition among the ignorance.
ignorant classes of the employees, most of whom are foreigners, and a strike will probably
be fermented.
The production of war materials, as you know, would be seriously impaired in a short
time.
I don't think much of the workers and the immigrants, that...
No, well, they're mostly Mexican-Americans.
Right, so...
All right, it feels very comfortable being like, these idiots don't even know what they're
doing.
They're like, sir.
And plus, there's a war on, so they're already like, blame the Mexicans!
Yeah, right.
They're kicking them.
Smart.
Good policy.
Yep, but we don't stop.
It comes around.
Yeah.
No, it doesn't come around.
It just stays.
Oh.
So, uh...
By May 1917, the BISB local.
Almost all wobblies.
Wait, what did you say?
The BISB?
They're all wobblies at this point.
Uh-huh, okay.
Anybody hear from BISB?
Yeah.
No.
We don't need a no.
Well, the silence will play the part of the no.
No.
Yep.
All the other people who didn't say yes, we took his nose.
It would be weird if they all you'll know.
No.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Anybody here from Bisby?
No.
Perfect.
We're not.
Stands up.
You're far from Bisby, sir.
Jerome also was all wobblies.
There's some dromians here.
Wow.
Do you guys
Are you guys just called Jerome's?
Dromers
No, just Jerome's
It should be Jerome's
No
No, you're Jerome's
Right? Shouldn't they be Jerome's?
Rommies
Fucking
Let's go Rommies
On July 5th
The IWW
Created a
Call the Strike in Drome
Asking for $6 a shift
And a six hour day
Hmm, seems hefty
The AFL Local
Called the Demands
Quote Ridiculous
unpatriotic and disloyal
and said they should keep working.
That's a weird union.
Yeah, it happens though, right?
Shut the fuck up, work.
You guys are fucking idiots
and you hate America
and shut up and keep working.
Aren't you here to represent us?
Fuck you, loser.
Okay.
So they go on strike.
Now, we got to stay together.
That's important.
It's about being a team.
All right?
Now shut your fucking mouth
and go to fucking work.
So they go on strike.
and on July 10th, 250 businessmen
and other local assholes
started rounding up suspected wobblies.
I added a little something right.
So that was not a quote.
Yeah, no.
They jail 100, and they deport 67 of them
to Needles, California by train.
Could you imagine getting deported to needles?
Oh, my God.
Fuck me.
Jesus Christ.
So I guess I just work at a game.
gas station now.
Is Guantanamo an option?
There you go. You run a roller coaster here in needles.
Oh, fuck. You know what they call it needles?
You're destined for heroin.
So that killed the strike when they did that.
They were like, hey, they're fucking doing needles.
Oh, goodness.
So Union loses the IWW telegraphs
Governor Campbell, so they telegraph the governor to protest the treatment of the workers who were deported,
but the governor responded by saying, Wobbley leaders had, quote, threatened the governor.
Oh, wow. Jesus Christ.
They sent me a thing.
In Bisbee, the dying SFL union said the wobbls had taken over because it was a front for private detectives and undercover company men.
It's always the craziest shit.
They're always just like, it's so fucking wild.
They're all millionaires.
Trust us.
We have your bag.
The wobblies are dinosaurs.
So management is hiring informers to pose as wobbly advocates to create division.
That's what they said.
They also said that.
So that's not true, obviously.
Now, one guy, James Chapman, who was second.
of the AFL local
was on the payroll
of a detective agency, so they're saying
They're doing the thing where they're like, you're detectives!
Yeah, and they're detectives.
Yeah, always the best.
Yeah.
So, the Wobbly Union
No. 800 holds its first state
convention in Bisbee, Arizona
on June 15th,
1917, and a week
later, the Bisbee branch
elected an executive committee
to drop demands
for the copper companies.
He scared?
No.
Say that again.
So they hold their...
The Woblies hold their local convention
in Arizona.
And then they drop demands.
Oh, okay.
For the...
Interesting.
Right.
About 8,000 live in Bisbee.
The mines are owned
by the Copper Queen Miner Company.
Copper Queen?
Yeah.
Interesting.
The Calumet and Arizona Company.
and the Shetuk Arizona Company.
The city is dominated by Phelps Dodge, which is the big one.
Oh, wow.
They own the Copper Queen.
They own the largest hotel, the hospital, the department store.
They own the library.
They own the newspaper.
They own everything in the town.
So they own the whole town, and the demands of the Bisbee Wobbleys were just basic safety asks.
And end bonus and contract work, daily wage of $6.
No discrimination.
No discrimination.
That one's hilarious.
It's Arizona.
No discrimination is such a like...
Why don't you ask me not to be a human?
America is absolutely fucking...
One of your demands is like, no discriminating.
And they're like, well, that one, no.
Yeah, that's...
We got a hard line on this one.
I'm sorry.
Prejudice.
In fact, we feel like you're discriminating
against how we discriminate,
which we're not okay with.
When the list was handed down to the copper queen, mine superintendent, he ripped it up.
Fuck.
That's your fucking discrimination, you son of a bitch.
It'd be great if it was a big contract.
He was like, come of these, I'll do it in force.
One, two, I'll do it, page by page.
Some bullshit.
The GM of the Shattuck, Arizona company, who happened to be named L.C. Shattuck,
said, quote, the demands of this IWW organization are unreasonable,
and the plans are a nationwide conspiracy
by enemies of the U.S. government
to restrict or cut off copper output
required to prosecute the war.
It's fucking incredible.
They always do that,
where they like overreach with their accusation.
It's like, well, that's so crazy that...
It works.
I know it does, but it's like, it's shocking.
They just go big.
Like, you poke them, and then they're like,
shoot his guts out.
Yeah.
Like, the president is behind these men.
These are CIA apprehends.
They had three dogs and a man suit.
See?
Foo.
Ah, ha.
Proof.
Vindication.
What do you mean there's a problem in the old mind?
Well, who's down there?
Hold on a second.
This might be more important.
What do you mean?
Collapsed.
No way it collapsed.
We just put new beams in there the other day.
Oh my God.
Come on, everybody.
Gather around.
This three-dog man is telling us that the mine has collapsed.
Oh, Christ, we're going, girl.
We're going, a boy, whatever you are.
I can't see.
Come on.
Woo.
I'm just hungry, you fuck.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Every time I come back for dinner, you're like,
who's lost in the mine?
I want food, you fucking asshole.
Well, I want a wifu's three dogs and a woman's skin.
Dear penthouse letters.
you're going to end that one right there
so the wobbley's
called strike on June 26
over 3,000 miners walk
that's about 80 to 90%
of all the minors in Bisby
fuck
so President Moyer of the
AFL union
who basically no one is in anymore
said he believed the wobblies were
German agents and that his union
guys would work
my guys will bust
they're asked for nothing.
They're Germans.
Have we done the Germans one yet?
No, they're Germans.
They're the First Reich.
Well, you only hear about the Thoitte.
He also said he wouldn't allow his union members to help the IWW.
But union-wise, what does he have?
He has, like...
No, it's got barely anybody left.
It's got like two guys who are like, yeah.
Yeah.
Fuck him.
So for two weeks, the strike cripples, Brisbane,
and the press were against the strikers,
as was Sheriff Harry Wheeler.
So it's a peaceful strike,
but the sheriff still asked Governor Campbell
to request that President Wilson send troops.
Jesus, go.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to kill them.
I bet you guys not working.
Yeah, you got to go.
Send in the army.
They're Germans.
Hurry.
The war department looks into it
and decides that, no, they're not sending troops.
I love it.
It's like in the middle of a war.
You're like, set him down here.
There's a guy who's not working.
We've got to invade Bisbee.
Instead, the president approves, appoints,
ex-governor George Hunt to be a strike mediator.
Okay.
Hunt's plan is to get them to all agree on a truce until the war end.
So the wobblies would obviously never agree to that.
but the
corporate company wouldn't even come to the
negotiating table. They're just like, we're not going to negotiate
with this shit. So Hunt bars scabs from
entering BISB and ordered
the state militia to get food, fuel, and clothing
for the strikers. Okay, great.
Oh, I'm a lefty. I like that.
That's what... I think he's... Dave has
this thing where he sounds sarcastic, but
he's being sincere.
It's good to feed people.
See, he's doing it again. He's really
into feeding people. He thinks everybody should have a home.
To, and also
to aid them in other ways. Quote, the penniless
families in this time
of industrial trouble
need help. So,
now Walter Douglas is president of
Phelps Dodge,
and he is a nepo baby.
His dad developed the copper queen mine
and he's on the board of directors.
So he's elected president of the American Mining Congress in 1916 as a national anti-union leader.
Okay.
So Douglas is furious that Governor Hunt shows the strikers any sympathy.
Right.
He's like, that's not what we do.
As he got into his private railroad car headed to Bisbee, he told...
The best.
What are you talking about?
They don't deserve anything.
I'll have a martini.
Shrimp?
I'd love some shrimp.
Absolutely.
I might eat the shrimp
Could we have the woman who feeds me the shrimp
All I Sleep come in?
That was really nice the other day.
Do you want her in the diaper?
I'll wear the diaper,
have her in a nurse ensemble,
and then bring the little boy
who moves my jaw while I chew.
Okay.
Thank you.
Some people just won't be satisfied
like those damn wobblies.
So he told the press quote,
There will be no compromise
because you cannot compromise
with a rattlesnake.
I believe the government
will be able to show
that there is a German
influence behind this movement.
So they're going with it.
Yeah.
They're Germans?
Why else would they go on strike
to feed their families?
No!
So they're...
So it's...
I really didn't think it was going to stick.
So that's like their little, like,
angle is like, they're Germans.
They're secret Germans.
They don't have accents,
but they're Germans.
Duh!
Trust us.
They're German.
Just us.
Christ.
It is up to the individual communities
to drive these agitators out
as been done in other communities in the past.
Like what had happened in Jerome
with the deportation of needles.
Deportation of needles does sound good, though.
That's it?
It sounds like I'm cleaning up the streets.
There's going to be a deportation of needles.
So...
I think that's the same person who said she wasn't from Bisby.
I think so.
And now I like her.
Acc, you're up.
So Bisby,
oh, sorry.
It's okay, buddy.
So Bisby has a Citizens Protective League.
Nice. Superheroes.
Never good. Never good.
Hello, where the fucking pieces of shit? How are you?
Sounds like, it sounds like, like, suburban superheroes.
Yeah, it's like...
Captain Cullesack. What do you have?
The town Cairns got together.
Yeah.
Super Cairn.
Sorry, I'm late.
I was just demanding a Froyo place.
Not call me a bitch.
I filmed them while I said the N-word.
All right.
Stop.
Chill the fuck out.
Would you please?
What?
I had every right.
They wanted to shut the fuck up.
Okay.
Anyway, what's the plan?
So they formed this league.
It's made of obviously a businessman types.
there is also a workers' loyalty league
made up of ex-I-U-M-M-S-W members,
which is the dead union.
Yep.
And they're against the wobblies.
Nice.
So the men in these groups
wanted to be deputized
to take on the strikers.
What the fuck's with them?
Give us a batch so we can crack some fucking skull.
Oh, these guys want enough money to live.
Yeah.
Oh, to kill them!
It really is fucking, it is crazy,
the rage that that instills in people
when you're like
I think like I guess I never was like
ever on the side of the corporation I just
for a lot of my life was like
eh it seems like like truth's in the middle
like when I was like younger
no and then it's just like why the fuck you on the side of
the rich people like when in doubt
just listen to the union workers
they're like telling you what's up
yeah the rich guys are always full of shit
and the rich guys are like they're Germans
they're so German
I walked into the bathroom
and two of them were peeing
and they have accents.
They just hide them
when they're out in public.
Anytime there's a rich guy talking
and you just go,
just think to yourself,
would Elon Musk be saying the truth?
Well, he's the exception.
He's the exception.
So they want badges
so they can beat up the strikers.
And they had previously met
to discuss the same sort of
of a deportation plan
that happened in Jerome.
Okay.
So on July 12th, 1917,
the morning edition of the Busby Daily Review
printed a proclamation
by Sheriff Wheeler.
He had, quote,
formed a sheriff's posse of 12,000 men.
What the fuck?
That's a big posse.
Oh, you mean Army?
Did you, you mean Army?
That's fucking crazy.
Overnight?
All have bow ties.
And we're ready to
Fuck.
Yeah, 12,000 men in Bisbee and 1,000 in Douglas, all loyal Americans.
Good.
That's my people.
I hate these non-loyal Americans.
Yeah.
I got a friend who doesn't have a flag on the back of his truck.
Don't, God.
Ex, friend.
Oh, God, I want to shoot people when they hear that.
It just...
If you have a flag
and you don't have...
If you have a flag and it's not flying in the back of your truck.
Jesus Christ.
Don't even start it.
Don't even tell me you don't have a truck.
But if you have a flag and it's not in your fucking truck.
Look, if you don't have a truck, just get in a flag
and fly like Aladdin's magic carpet.
I got one buddy he drives a flag with a truck behind it.
Oh, yeah.
Look, living in America is a contest to see who could get the biggest flag.
That's right!
Either you're playing or you're German.
So, he's created this posse of all loyal Americans
for the purpose of arresting on the charges of vagrancy, treason,
and of being disturbers of the peace of Cochise County,
all those strange men who have congregating,
here for the purpose of harassing and intimidating
all men who desire to pursue
their daily toil. This is no
labor trouble, we are sure
of that, but a direct
attempt to embarrass and injure
the government of the United
States. It's so, fuck,
it's just, they're put, like,
treasons on your list. You're
good. Like, if you're pushing, like,
all right, there you go, you got that, but it's like,
but also, they want
the government to look foolish.
These Germans.
The sheriff told all women and children
To keep off the streets that day
They'll bite you and you'll turn German
And then he asked for everybody's cooperation
That's just
Okay
Quote
I hope no resistance will be made for I desire no bloodshed
That's a terrible way to start whatever you're doing
Look I don't want to kill
people. But obviously that's
very on the table.
We're dealing with the zombie
Germans.
They know not what they do.
However, I am
determined if resistance is made,
it shall be quickly and effectively
overcome. So he is
it kind of does want the bloodshed.
Yeah, kind of want bloodshed. It's like your
plan B. Yeah. If you do leave your house,
I'll kill you. So, stay inside.
The
proclamation was put up all over town
poles, fences, and walls, and at 4 a.m., before many
had the chance to read the proclimate, because they're still in bed.
Yeah, they're like walking this, what the fuck are you doing?
I'm walking to work.
No!
Yeah.
We've got to do bloodshed.
Several hundred...
Your husband's dead.
He was walking.
He was German, probably.
Several hundred armed men on foot and horseback
got gathered at a signed spot.
in alleyways behind fences
and in dark places
which is where you do it
imagine getting assigned
to dark place
I'll do the fence
all right Hank
you'll go to the dark place
so you just go
right down that alley
where the shadow is
and you'll stand to there a lot
did you bring a sandwich
do you mean emotionally
no no no no no
Jesus Christ
okay because I can really do that
no that's why we're putting you back there
I think about my dad
stop talking about your dad
the person who killed him
Are you capable of bloodshed today if we need it?
I don't know.
I just started thinking about it.
How the fuck does a guy watch his dad die on the streets
and not turn out to be Batman but is groveling
about going into a dark...
Shut up.
Shut up.
God damn it.
We're fighting pretend Germans.
Oh, God damn it.
All right, look, fine.
You'll do a fence.
Yes, yes.
You'll do a fence.
Yeah, I can't wait to hide mine a fence.
Wait.
Fuck you.
Fucking German.
All right. All right, look. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm the fencer.
Hey, hey, hey.
Fucking animals.
Hey, hey, are you going to be able to handle today?
Are you sure because...
It's a roller coaster!
Yeah, but it's just, look, get your fucking head in the game.
Okay?
Yeah, just, it's easy, it's easy.
I went to a really dark place there.
Yeah, that's where I assigned you originally.
No, I may.
I meant the other
Fucked up, thinking of my dad again.
I think we got it.
The first bloodshed might have to come from Hank.
So they wore white armbands.
Cool.
So you can tell each other.
Always cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, cool.
You suck too.
Hey, you're also a piece of shit.
Hey, how are you?
Hey, what's up?
Their instructions were to pick up and arrest
every quote, suspicious.
suspicious-looking individual.
You know what's great about the plan,
and I know they didn't do this,
but literally, if at any point
they'd just been like,
hey, we should also wear white armbands.
Their plan would have been completely fucking ruined.
They'd be like, what the fuck?
Sir, everyone's wearing white armbands.
Oh, fuck.
We'll kill each other.
Germans.
Fuck.
Shoot your friend.
Kill.
So they already had a list of people
that the mining companies
had given them.
Cool.
Not just strikers, but,
like storekeepers and contractors,
and anyone who's sympathetic to the strikers.
Okay, sure.
So even Ex-Gameter Hunt is on the list,
but he wasn't actually there that day.
Okay.
By 6.30 a.m., there were 2,000 deputized vigilantes.
Jesus Christ.
That's a lot.
Yeah, that is.
It doesn't sound like a lot until you're walking the streets,
and you're like, that's a lot of vigilantes.
It's like beat it out here.
I mean, to me, like 12 is a lot.
12's plenty.
Yeah.
It's like the Guardian Angels who are like, oh, boy.
Oh.
those fucking guys
I'll tell you, you'll find
if you go on Twitter
and talk shit about the Guardian
there's a lot of people like
dude I hear you but they're okay
buddy
when my grandpa
cosplays with a beret
nobody
nobody with a beret
should be listened to
I know just
just ever you're like
you're out
the fuck out of here
especially in New York
and then they're in subway
right after like
let me get a foot long
Hey Guardian Angels
Have your order before you get up to the counter
What is spicy Italian?
Is that salami?
Is it Genoa?
No, it's you.
Oh, Christ, the fuck?
This isn't a subway at all.
So they raided homes, they seized men on the street
and they took guys as they were eating in restaurants
and they were shopping in stores.
each guy they asked if he was willing to work
and if he said no, he was taken.
Wow.
What if they said, yeah?
I guess they go to work.
Sure.
You really to work?
Yeah, all right.
Fuck!
Hold on, we're going to figure out a job.
This guy wants to work.
So that was the people who are not on the list
that they do that too.
If your name's on the list,
They didn't ask anything.
They just grabbed you.
Okay.
A man was eating breakfast when two vigilantes
pushed through his front door guns out.
Jesus Christ.
And they asked if he sympathized with the strikers,
and he said, yes, and he was taken away.
What the fuck?
He's like, yeah, yeah.
Eating waffles?
What?
You're coming with us.
Another guy didn't wake up from the knocks on his door,
and so four-armed men kicked in the door
and yanked him out of bed.
Holy fuck.
His wife begged them to let him.
him dress, but they dragged him outside
in his nightgown.
Well, I mean, look.
That was what people wore.
I was just saying, there's a reason why we stopped
and it's events like this.
Come on.
I'm bringing it back.
I'm coming back with nightgowns.
Yeah.
Yeah, fuck yeah.
I'm fucking back in.
And sleeping caps.
I don't go, fuck you.
Sleeping caps are back.
It's the dumbest thing ever.
I'm sleeping like curly from the three stooges.
I'm going to bed, where's my hat?
I'm going to bed with a nightcap, a nightgown,
and I'm holding a candle as I do it.
Oh, Christ.
Are you going to shit in a chamber pot?
Yeah, I am.
Yeah, I'm crapping in a chamber pot.
I'm fucking doing it.
Who does the sexy whistle at them?
Hey.
Yeah, they know it's hot.
Boy, I'm just picturing red-
I'm wearing light blue too
So if a little light hits me
You might see a thing or two
Oh, you mean
Yeah
You made it see through
Yeah, yeah
You can see the silhouette of the
Exactly
The junk, as you were
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, I'll hold the candle near it
You'll see don't
Yeah
Now when you're shooting in the chamber pot
Does it hang inside or outside?
I put it over my head like a ghost
There's a ghost shitting in your room.
No, honey!
Boom.
I'm making boom.
Oh, I gotta do it.
I'm going nightkill.
Yeah.
I mean, I would...
Yeah, you have to.
I have to.
You gotta make a video every night when you go to bed.
Every night?
Yes.
It's Reynolds signing off.
I'm assuming you're sashet.
Of course I am.
You sashet over.
to your bed. And I, like, make 30
TikToks and it gets no likes, and I'm like,
I'm fucking pathetic.
What the fuck am I doing?
This is fucking crazy.
Looking at nightgowns online.
Put it in the cart.
This is later.
A union marshal
who was... Sorry, a U.S. Marshal
who was there, quote,
was not made against the IWWs alone,
but against every man who has ever been known
to give voice to his opinions openly.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
That's good.
I thought they were just great.
That's good.
It's everybody who has a thought.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
Man who do not belong to any organization
were picked up as well as members of the AFL.
So I love that the guys who...
The guys who had left the union and now hated this union...
And wanted to be deputized.
We're also getting picked up.
We're now, they're like, you too.
You're coming with us.
Like, wait, what the fuck?
No.
Yeah.
I fucking hate...
Oh, God damn it.
Shut the fuck up.
Will you work?
Yeah.
All right.
Come to my house.
What?
Yeah, I got some furniture I can't put together.
Hold on.
Are you the nightgown chamber pot guy?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm building myself a big bunk bed.
Oh, Christ.
What does that even mean?
I said something flippantly, and here we are.
Now I'm crapping in a bucket, and I don't have any lights.
I wear a fucking hat to bed.
Fucking nuts.
Grocery store owners were arrested, quote,
Vigilantes took over stores, sold their goods,
and fought with each other over the sharing of the remaining inventory.
Wow.
I mean, I only like that from,
the, like, as a customer,
do you walk in, you're like, I can completely shoplift
today. Yeah. It's like the first year of the
electronic checkout where you're like, all right, you fucking
idiots. Here we go.
I wouldn't say first year. I would say last week
with me also, but...
You know, wrap it up.
They're watching.
Target was the only store that sold it, so
what are you going to do?
Fuck you, Target.
I agree.
Not broke Target. They're figuring it out,
I'm saying.
I can't figure out.
about me.
The idea that there's a chance
I might see your name on an arrest list
for Target is awesome.
And then to know what you stole,
it'd be great.
Seltzer.
Like candles, ping pong balls.
I'm like, this is pathetic. Is he okay?
I didn't know he liked
Mike's hard lemonade.
They were also just picking up people at random.
So really, yeah.
Yeah, everybody.
Yeah, they were anti-discrimination.
Yeah.
So Thomas English was a union member.
Okay.
So me English, all right.
Thomas English?
Thomas English, yeah, go on.
At 7 a.m., someone...
What happened?
He fucking flipped you off, so I told him to go, fuck himself.
I got your back, babe.
No, you don't.
Yeah, I do, babe.
I don't trust nightgown guys.
I'll tell you what, if you were a nightgown and a nightcap,
you and I could share a room finally.
Think of the hijinks.
It's going to be hilarious.
We'll find trap doors in our room.
What?
Yes.
Black and white.
What are you talking about?
We're going to be silent film stars.
We're not.
So Thomas English.
is in his house, and at 7 a.m., someone knocks on his door,
and he says, come in, and three men enter and ask him if he is working.
And he said, no.
Interesting.
So they seized him, but would not say why.
They also grabbed his border, James Brew, who was an ex-miner.
Orson McCray of the Citizens Protective League and Mine Shift Boss and three others went to his room.
How many people were in this place?
There's 17,000.
In this boarding house, yeah, 17,000.
Okay, wow.
So these three guys go to James Brewer's room
and order him outside,
and so Brue just shot through the door.
Do you have a picture of Jim Brewer next?
I couldn't find it, but this,
we finally have a hero.
And he killed Orson McCray.
Oh, shit. All right, nice, I don't know.
He has, like, a statue or something in Bisbee.
They were like, there's our hero.
not the McRae does, not the James Brue, the good guy.
So the other three men then shot and killed Brough, so he's dead.
By 7.30am, a large group of men were lined up under armed guard in the plaza,
and the sun is now already really hot because you guys fucking live here,
which is the craziest thing you all.
Just imagine living in a desert during dystopia times.
What have you done?
go to somewhere hot and wet
and you live underground
it's dystopian
did you guys not know this is dystopian
yes it's very dystopian
Vegas exists
so they can go there and be like
yuck
it's the Vegas people who they're like
they're like
eh fuck you
they're like
have you been to Dubai
Vegas, do you guys, you guys don't have people underground like they do in Vegas, do you, do underground people live here too?
The fuck are you?
Do you not know about the underground people?
The fuck, dude, I just start running a nightgown.
What is happening?
There's thousands of people living underground in Vegas.
What?
They live in the storm tunnels.
Oh, because of Elon made the underground city.
I love that he built tunnels and he put in a stoplight under there.
Whoa, what a great thing you've made here.
What an advancement.
Some guy just sitting.
It's literally like there's rides at Disney
that are better than that.
He's like, the future is so close
and we're going to be there.
Did you see him?
We're going to be at Mars in 2026?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Holy fuck.
Next year, we're going to be in March.
So he said today, he's not a kid of me.
It's so good.
So
7.30 a.
A.m., a large group of men are lined up
under Arm Guard, and the plaza, the sun is already
hot. So two women bring out a tub of
water so they could drink, and guards
kick the tub over before any
of the men could drink. Quote,
the sons of bitches don't get a drink.
Jesus Christ. That's right.
There you fucking drink
water. Those women
with the tub are like, oh my God.
That was a lot of water.
I told you we should have done cups.
Just get one big
troth. All right,
piggies.
A tub.
So in rows of 10, the men are marched two miles to Warren Ballpark.
Hey, you guys want to see a game?
Wait, where is it?
So they're being marched at a business to a ballpark that is...
Oh, to a ballpark.
Some reason two miles away.
Sure.
You don't play baseball in this fucking town.
Yeah.
Okay.
So Sheriff Wheeler rode alongside in an open Ford car,
which was owned and driven by Father Manden, a Catholic priest.
Nice
Father Mandan
But just the priests are on the side of the assholes
It's just always amazing to me
Although, yeah
What am I saying?
The child molester, so
Oh, that's not true
Allegedly
Yeah
What a broad stroke I've done
I've done it
Half
So half a priest
Right?
No
Yeah
So that's the pessimistic way of looking at
The optimist says the church is half full with non-molusters.
That's something to be proud of.
So the father is driving alongside with the sheriff in the car,
so the sheriff can yell at everybody,
and he's screaming and swearing at them as they walk.
And right besides wheeler, in the priest's car,
they've mounted a 7.62 millimeter,
Martin machine gun.
Holy fuck.
Who's German in this?
Jesus
fucking Christ.
That's how Jesus would have done it.
The dollop is
brought to you by
Rocket Money.
Oh, Gareth, you
and I both use Rocket Money.
It's fantastic.
It helps you find
all the little
shifty little

The other one is like

So here's the other thing that I just brought up
and said in that was it watches your spending.
It's like, hey, man, maybe you're spending a little bit too much on this.
For you, you kept buying bowling balls.
And Rocket Money was like, why do you have 19 bowling balls?
And then you were like,
Oh, no, I didn't, I'm not caving on that one.
Okay.
They don't know what they're talking about.
They're out of line on that one.
Take it easy.
We've had this conversation many times.

But thankfully, Chewy has sizes for everything.
They got all kinds.
You want a teacup pup thing for the biggest dog?
They're going to have it.
They got all the costumes you want for your dog and cat.

This is as good as a company gets.
You can trust them.

We're also brought to you by Hydro.
Don't push your luck.
Uh,
you know,
we all have those workouts where we finish and we're like,
do that make me any stronger?
Do that actually really?
Uh.
But with Hydro,
you don't have to guess.
Yeah.
In 20 minutes,
you're working 86% of your muscles.
86%.
I was on the hydro 45 minutes yesterday.
Yeah.
Your whole body feels it, but nothing is, like, in pain from it.
It's the best.
Gareth, with the new hydro arc, you can actually see your progress,
and it's measured in power, endurance, and precision.
Every time you row, you see it.
Well, it's also at the end of your hydro row, they're giving you badges,
that you're winning awards.
There's a whole system in there.
You can probably do, Gareth, you can probably do in like 20 minutes on a hydro
what used to take you an hour or so at the gym, right?
Without question.
But it's also, it's like, if you still want,
to lift weights and things like that, you can do that, but you also then, if you want to do
cardio as well, hydro is perfect because you're not overdoing it on any part of your body.
It really is like proper rowing form is like, like you said, 86% of your muscles are getting
squeaked.
And you can track all your progress and stuff, which is nice.
Yes, when I'm gone, I think about the hydro all the time.
They have hydro metrics.
I'm not kidding.
I know you do.
But you think about a lot of stuff that worries me also.
Now with a hydro, I'm like, man, when I get back, I go.
They got instructors, they got classes, they got it all.
Gareth loves the hydro.
He's actually going to marry it, which we're going to talk about it at another point.
But here's what we're saying.
We're saying skip the gym, not the workout, stay on track with the new hydro arc, hydro's most advanced rower yet.

You're like, I'll just keep these on forever.
Also, the selection of cutie pies that you could go through.
I mean, there are so many options.
Yep.
They got cutie pies.
They breathe really well when it gets hot and heats up.
Whether they're on or off, they're breathing.
I've seen mine.
Mine was huffing and puffing the other day in the room.
They've got some stretch.
I think it was on the hydro.
And also, Gareth, right now, MeUndies has a limited edition Halloween line.
They got festive prints, including glow in the dark underwear.

back to the show
I mean
Yeah, sorry
That's not great
So there's about 2,000 guys
There's three women
In the ballpark stockade
They were told that they cut all
IWW ties
And went back to worse
They would be released
Jesus Christ
I mean
They're the literal
Okay, what the fuck
They're held there for hours
And hundreds of men do recant
And are allowed to leave
And go back to work
the women were also let go
because the vigilantes were told
they'd sue Phelps Dodge for mistreatment
no oh shit
well I did not see that coming
it's fucking crazy
I didn't know they were to that
what are they so mad about
they're just in a pen
it was a big deal
they're in a hot pen
men who were known associates
with the labor movement could not recant
and hundreds refused to go anyway
They responded to the vigilantes.
Who gave him a kickball?
They turned to get on.
They're at fun.
Look at these guys.
They responded to the vigilantes
asking if they wanted to recant
with cat calls, hoots, jeer, swearing,
and songs.
Obviously.
The catcalling's great.
Yeah.
You look pretty, Jimmy.
What?
Recant.
Oh, really?
You want me to recant over here?
How you doing, sweet ass?
Stop it.
I like your jeans, Jimbo.
Recant.
Take off your belt, kid.
Jesus Christ.
Singing's great.
If I'm there... If I'm there, I'm just a swearing guy.
I'm singing. I'm doing my own songs.
You're singing, and I'm over there going, fuck, fuck, fuck.
There was a boy we all new named a little shame rock.
Fuck!
He was the boy, he worked right around the clock.
Shit, tit, piss!
What a lad he was
And what a tongue on the boy
Bullseck fuck ass
When people
Ask him what he were up to
He just say I'm coy
I like that one
Fuck shit you
At 11 a.m., 23 cattle train boxcars arrived, and they were forced on board.
I mean, what the, I'm not trying to be rude, but they were, they were like, the ones who were like, you're the Germans.
Yes, yeah, they were like, you guys are the Germans.
You've got German tendencies.
Hold on, I know you brought up Germans, but you know what the German.
That's it. Get the train.
Yeah, so they put them on trains.
There are so many, I mean...
We're not the Javits!
You are!
There are so many people.
It looks like Coachella.
Shocking.
Most boxcars had, quote,
over three inches of manure on the floors.
Fucking Christ.
What the fuck?
Oh, man.
That's a lot of shit.
Yeah.
10 miles east of Douglas, the train stopped, and water barrels were put on the cars.
About 200 armed men watched the train, quote,
while machine guns on two knolls guarded the station.
What in the fuck did they think was going to happen?
What are they doing with the water?
They're putting it on the train, so the guys actually, because they were like, oh, these guys are going to die.
Okay, so there is, but then they just have machine guns trained at them.
Yeah.
Just to be like, drink the water.
Yeah, drink the fucking water.
Shut the fuck up.
Hey, nightgown,
pour it on the front of your gown.
That a boy.
Look at you.
Look at how hard his nipples are, Hank.
Last time I wear this to bed.
You know, before this,
wearing a night dress
made a little more sense to me.
Wait, did you say night dress?
That's right.
I mean, night like night gown's better.
It's a little better.
It's a gown.
A gown.
I'm going to an event.
this is my nightgown
I'm putting it on my night skirt
A nightgown is the crazy
Oh fuck
So the train then leads for Columbus
New Mexico
173 miles east of Bisbee
And they had to stand for the whole time
in these packed airless cars in the July heat
Which is fine
It's not that bad in July
No, here, it's quite moderate
in that time of you're here, here.
Especially if you're standing on poop.
Yes.
You're going to be fine.
The water barrels were quickly
drunk by all the
thirsty men, quote, they stood in cow manure
over their shoe tops,
while weaker prisoners were allowed to sit in the filth.
You guys enjoy the water.
I'm going to eat this ground chocolate.
Tommy.
Huh?
It's not bad.
What? I don't know if I'm delirious or what, but I'm loving the floor.
After Columbus, the train went to Armanus, New Mexico, arriving at 3 a.m. on July 13th.
They'd been without water and food at this point for 12 hours.
Fuck.
They were kept there for two days.
What the fuck is the plan?
In the box cars, while guards stood on top with guns, and they would occasionally shoot to intimidate them.
What is the plan?
What the plan?
Get them out of town.
But this, they're out of town.
I fuck them.
Okay.
Keep the train going.
Just never stops moving.
Keep taking of places.
You boys want to get out and walk around?
It's turning into a bit of a cruise.
You guys like papaya?
Come on.
This guy's got the best papaya.
Known Bisbee labor attorney,
William Clary, put out a statement describing the events.
Dodge felt a fit.
This is, uh, okay.
So he's the only guy that has put out any news to anybody, that lawyer.
Okay.
Dodge felt officials had been censoring AP dispatches from Bisbee.
Quote, they read every dispatch and decided what could or could not be sent out by Western Union.
Wow.
So it's basically kidnapping a massive scale.
Yeah, it's even beyond that.
Yeah.
When Cleary sent out his statement, the country finally learned would have been
going on. The New York Times
quote, Arizona ships
1,100 IWWs
out in cattle cars.
See, even that headline.
Classic Times.
Yeah, it could use, like, a lot more information
in the headline if you really wanted to get people.
Strikers
go on tour of country.
The Times also called the
Wobbly's Vagrants and did not mention
that AFL members' grocery store and
restaurant owners were also deported.
They love that shit. They love that shit.
They've just got term buckets
where they're like, are we pro or anti this?
Oh, okay. Then they're rescuers.
The Times did publish part of Cleary's statement,
which said that they were asking for $6 a day
and that copper was selling at
14 to 15 cents a pound
and the miners had been very peaceful
during the strike. Right.
So minors have been living in BISB for years
and they had wives and kids and families
and like...
Regular people, you mean?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Some were military reserves
and they bought liberty bonds
for the war
and now they're being called
traitors.
Yep.
The Beber Daily Review.
The Beber Daily Review?
It's actually, yes.
It's his family.
Fucking crazy.
Is it?
No.
Wanted it so bad.
Yeah.
Yep.
The Beber Daily
the review was thrilled, quote, no longer
does a blot remain on
the as, I don't know what that word is,
Abisby.
Ah, nope, I'm not trying that, because you guys
are me.
Try it again.
We believe in you.
Reading rainbow.
We believe in you, Dave.
We believe in you.
It's a scocha.
A scocha.
Whatever, I don't give a shit anymore.
Reading Rainbow
Don't swear on the show
What is a Scutcheon mean?
Reading Rainbow
Anybody
What is it called?
A Scutchen she says?
A scutcha?
He says what?
A shield.
A shield?
Just say shield.
What the fuck?
We're Americans.
Oh, now you're pro-American.
Yeah, baby.
Set the trains on fire!
What the fuck?
What are you talking about?
Wobulism
Wobbleism has passed
with the labyrinth of things discarded
as a coat is shaken from the back
as a boil is lanced
and cleansed of its contents
Wow
Without president in this or any other country
Or any other age was the occurrence of yesterday
It marked a golden date on the calendar
A date when the law-abiding people of the community
drove from their midst of the wobbly
Wow
So
Yeah boy
Bieber's parents were not cool
Fucked up
Grandparents
Most papers around the country
Agreed with that or
That's fucking crazy
No, it's not really
I mean it's not but it's also fucking crazy
Yeah
No
Co-siders
They made fun of the vigilantes
For taking it too far though
They'd be like
Well you guys
The train was a little bit much
I mean water
Really
And make him stand in shit
Good Lord
But kidnap and just
send around, yeah.
The New York Times said the sheriff went too far
and was dangerous for making his own law,
but also Sheriff Wheeler was, quote,
on the right track when he instructed his deputies
to arrest the wobbly men
on charges of vagrancy.
Imprisonment was not the answer.
Imprisonment was the answer, not deportation.
You got to love how much, like,
the traditionalists in this country,
like, we were founded upon these rights,
inalienable, and they're like,
but also, yeah, they should just go to jail, right,
We don't need to know what they did.
They don't need to have had a crime.
You can throw them out in the middle of the night
while they're eating waffles or even in a nightgown
like this little weirdo over here.
I didn't know.
For further shows, any show after this,
you should have to wear a nightgown.
Not going to be a problem.
It'll be awesome.
If I just
On social media people are like
Is he wearing that only now?
Hello
Walking around like the Dalai Lama
How are you?
Hello!
I'm a sheetman.
So the men have been deported
from drone to needles
We're allowed to return
But the BISB guys, it's permanent.
They're not going to...
That's it.
On July 4th, the Daily Review
reported that
at Armanus the men
were threatened with death
and bodily harm if they ever returned
to Bisbee. Happy Independence Day, everybody.
Quote, they will not be allowed to come back.
We have been slow to act,
but once started, it is
a finished fight.
The serious business
of this district is the mining of
copper ore, not the building of night
schools, of anarchism,
or idling on the streets, or
picketing public places and private works.
It's just so fucking creepy.
Someone hit that guy.
Night schools for anarchy.
What do you want to learn at night?
Fucking animals!
Night schools.
The Armada Sheriff
wired the New Mexico governor
warning, quote, serious trouble is threatened.
Yeah, because you just took...
Yeah, what the fuck you...
1,200 dudes.
I just hit a wasp's nest with a stick.
The governor said the wobbly should be treated humanely,
but not allowed to cause trouble.
He told the sheriff to feed them
after learning that they were facing starvation.
Yeah, yeah.
Hold on, I'm telling us.
So you think we got to feed them?
Yeah.
Well, we did put them in box cars with tons of poop.
Well.
And then we had them all put their pants in a pile
and they swapped pants.
And then we had played a game
where we tried to guess whose pants was whose pants.
the only guy we knew was the one poor fellow
had to throw a nightgown in the pile
that's a little bit
It was very obvious
That's the guy who sings, right?
Yeah, yeah, he was sitting there naked
while he was trying to find some pants
That one got sad, honestly
But maybe get him a burger or something
Yeah, they can't eat the poop
We thought they could, but they can't eat poop
Okay, that's a bummer
All right, well
I'm just having so much fun here
Yeah, it is pretty fun
Yeah, it's a hell of a time
Never good thing
You gotta come to an end, I guess
I love you
What?
Huh?
I think about it.
What do we doing?
What the fuck just happened?
He also wired D.C. and told President
Wilson to take charge.
Hmm.
Hey.
Now, AF President,
AFL President Gompers
So, Advil, President Gobbers
got so many letters complaining of government inaction
that he told President Wilson
government agencies were ignoring them
or being hostile. And Wilson told
the Secretary of War to investigate
and also Governor Campbell
that he was worried about people taking the law
under their own hands. And then
the governor just asked Sheriff
Wheeler why the
deportations happened. Quote,
I can protect law-abiding
and peaceful citizens, but I cannot guarantee
the technical rights of lawbreakers and
criminals, I would not endanger
the lives of loyal American citizens
in attempting to protect the wobblies.
Wow. I mean,
we are so far gone.
Yeah.
Wilson had the military escort the
deportees from Armanus to
Columbus and put them up
in a tent colony that was
made for Mexican refugees during
border raids. Oh my God. We'll get rid
of those.
A reporter, quote,
when the unshaved and unwashed
crowd marched up to the refugee camp
this afternoon, they presented the strangest sight.
Many were without hats.
Well, now
I'm against them.
Rules or rules.
Disgusting.
And they wore soiled handkerchiefs on their head
to keep off the hot sun.
They're fucking dying.
Boy, they look pretty unpersexual.
for a few guys who have been living in trains
for five days.
Others limp from blistered feet
while old men and the physically unfit
had difficulty in marching the mile
to the camp from the railroad.
They obey orders without comment
and seem to have accepted their fate.
What the fuck?
Awesome. How many...
Oh, fuck. We're all
going back to camps. That is what is...
The amount of times of this country where
it's like, we are the free place.
We also have camps.
So there's camps if you're not doing what we say.
We got camps.
We got camps.
New York Times reporters said men were hopeful
that they wouldn't be there long
and thought the president would order them,
would order they could go home.
Of course.
I mean, but of course, you'd be like,
this is fucking nuts.
Yeah.
This can't keep going.
Yeah.
Day nine.
Quote, there's no information in camp
upon which to base this supposition.
Yeah, because they thought,
thought, this is crazy.
They were like, it's unfathomable.
They were like, it can't be.
Ex-Governor Hunt investigated and reported that the deportees
organized their own police force and elected an executive
committee to represent them.
Quote, they are wholly unable to comprehend why their strikes
should be associated with the war, or held by anyone to be
an act of unfaithfulness to the government in its emergency.
Classic German reaction.
What did we do?
But we would just be in cutie pies.
whoopsie poopsie
who made a whoopsie
collectively they have suffered a great wrong
and most sacred principles
of human liberty upon which our government
has founded have been shockingly violated
America
a bunch more
on September 17th
1917 when their rations were cut to half
the last deportees left the camp
but now how many days is that
September 17
I mean, it's been a long
fucking time. Like what?
So July 12th.
So they've been there for...
Holy fuck.
That's a while.
How long?
Well...
July, August, September. It's two months.
It's fucking crazy.
Two months. That's all.
You're just two months.
That's fucking nuts.
It's a vacation.
Like, they were just literally like,
don't worry. They're going to come get us.
I know it's day 40.
But this is fucking crazy.
crazy.
At some point.
And then they're like, well, let's cut their food nap.
They're not going anywhere.
Fuck.
I'll tell you what.
I'm never wearing a nightgown again.
Because it's the worst outfit to take anywhere.
It's a bed ensemble.
I mean, it is a big hanky, which is coming handy.
Only a few were allowed to return to BISB
and only because their mining skills were badly needed.
Wow, that is fucking crazy.
The companies created a passport system
between BISB and other towns.
A BISB passport?
Are you coming to BISB for a business or pleasure?
What do you think?
Are you out of your goddamn mind?
Quote, they hold court in the Copper Queen dispensary
where men are examined as to their right to stay in town
and all the crossroads are lined with Cossacks
who examine everyone going or coming from town.
Wow.
We should give a shout out to the Copper Queen dispensary
who's a sponsor.
I don't know if you guys do CBD.
Dave and I love the stuff.
You just take one of these little packets.
You put in your water.
You're going to sleep like a goddamn baby.
in a night game. Go ahead.
They would hold a kangaroo
court and anyone heading to Bisby
was stopped outside the city and taken
before the court, which ruled whether or not
they could stay. Leave voluntarily
or go to jail.
What the fuck?
What the fuck? Well, they fucked up.
They went on strike.
What do you want? I want more money.
Bisbee. Jesus Christ.
It's not like going to Sandy yet.
This is Bisbee.
Bisbee.
Bizby's like, well, how long are you going to be stayed?
Isn't that where Stanhope lives?
Bisby?
Yeah, it is where Stanhope lives.
Yeah, that's fucking that right.
It actually finally makes sense.
Passports were issued by the Douglas Chamber of Commerce and Mines.
You had to carry a passport at all times.
Hundreds of men went through the sheriff's court.
Quote, trials were secret, and a verdict of deportation was promptly and forcibly executed by deputy sheriffs.
At the same time, the sheriff established guards
at all entrances to the district
who examined every person attempting to enter
to exclude the camp from any stray wobbly
that might drift in.
A stray wobbly.
Fuck, yeah, that's terrifying.
It just sounds like a terrifying.
Yeah, okay.
It didn't matter how long they were away
or if they had families in town,
they were not allowed to enter.
They were immediately arrested for vagrancy,
brought before the court,
and encouraged to leave town or put in jail.
Fucking A.
Now, so,
As Amber, he refuses to leave after coming from the Columbus camp.
And he gets put in jail for three months, and they threaten to lynch him if he doesn't leave.
Wow.
So they, all these guys who have been deported plead to President Wilson,
and he sends a five-man commission out, and they hear testimony for five days in November.
And they severely criticize those responsible for the deportation.
It had been decided at a meeting on July 11th of my managers that this is what they do.
Managers.
Managers.
There's no justification, quote,
the deportation was wholly illegal
and without authority in law,
either state or federal.
Okay.
There you go.
Yeah, well, I mean,
there I go, kind of.
What the fuck took so long?
You know, we looked into it
and we crunched the numbers.
And you can't do that.
You're not allowed to do that.
Who knew you couldn't just take
half a town and put it on a train?
You can't take a town,
train them to another place
and just keep them there for two months.
And now that we know,
we feel awful.
We lost our heads back there.
All actions had to cease,
and that those who took part
would be prosecuted by the state,
and Congress should pass a law
making a crime, so it didn't happen again.
Look, Congress is going to pass a law
saying you can't put everybody on a train.
Haven't we? Don't we already...
No, nobody knew.
Isn't that already insinuated?
How are you supposed to know you can't do that?
Now we know we're not going to do it
again. We didn't realize you weren't allowed to do that.
Nobody told us. I'm sorry.
Good Lord. Knowing what we know now, that
is a bit ridiculous.
The Department of Justice opened an investigation
and on May 15, 1918, 21 mining officials
were arrested for conspiracy to injure, oppress,
threaten, and intimidate U.S. citizens.
By the way,
treason is not on that list
Interesting
Sheriff Wheeler was fighting in France
So he was not arrested
He was what?
He was fighting, he was in the war
Okay
It's fighting in France
More Germans
Everyone's a German but me
The defense said no federal laws
Have been violated
Oh, I agree with that
Well, so did the court
Fuck me
what the fuck
the Justice Department
then appealed
and in late 1920
Supreme Court
United States ruled
that it was a state matter
Oh, what the fuck?
You gotta love
government and courts
in this country
all this hubbub
for all this
the United States of amendment
they were like
well you decide
we don't know
we're little
so obviously there was no
prosecution
there were civil seats filed
over six million in civil
suits. So the first guy to come up was
Harry Wooten, who was
a minor, and
he was tried,
and he, sorry, he was a
Feltz Dodge employee against the minors.
He was called the Loyalty Leagueer.
So he was in a different group, I didn't bring up,
the loyalty leak. Sure.
And so they tried him, and he
was acquitted. And then the
jurors agreed the deportation
quote had been a good thing.
to be in that room when they were deliberating
it's great
so we all agree that was pretty awesome what they did
and everyone's cool with that
all right we're ready to go
other civil suit plaintiffs were then
dropped
a few settlements were reached out of court
married men with a kid got
$1,200
$1,200
married men
without kids got a thousand
single men got five hundred
fuck yeah you can buy like a wagon
$1,200
not gown money
The President's Commission got agreements for management
and the union not to interfere in the war effort
by interrupting copper production
Nothing about increase in agency
It's so funny that the reason to stop what you're doing
is for war. It's the most American shit ever
Look, don't put our citizens
in camp because
we're actually fighting a war, so we need the copper.
Could you chill? Could you just chill?
So it guaranteed no wobbly could take a militant stand
by including the provision that, quote,
no employment should be made available for IWW members
or for other persons who had been guilty of disloyal utterances
against the U.S. The President Moyer, the AFL guy,
hailed the agreement and threatened to cancel the charter
of any local that turned it down.
the mighty companies rehired all that went on strike
except the ones in a union
union power decreased in Arizona
and we continue...
Why do you think that was?
I don't know.
That would continue until the new deal
when the major copper companies
or at last organized
the brisbee deportations
ended up creating a horrible precedent
for the U.S. democracy
especially for Mexican workers.
It led to the rationalization for removal
and it helped deportation
become accepted as necessary
to get rid of an unwanted population.
It became...
I mean...
It always is so fucking hysterical
that that is something
that the white governments are like,
we do that, we were here first.
If you trace it back a little bit further,
you might be on a train.
I'll be the Jeff Foxworthy
of you might be on a train
then you just might be on a train.
Then you just might be on a train.
So it becomes a 201 workers and owners
were at odds, and then mass deportations
of Mexicans happened during the 1930s.
And then, yeah, that's it.
And then nothing else, really.
And now it's fine.
We fix.
it.
I hope there's a...
I hope someone brought
their right winger friend.
Ah!
No!
Fuck.
It's fine.
Tell you what. It's hard to
take my faith in this country
away, but...
Somehow you've done it.
Oh, that's so fucked.
That's just, it is.
It's the never-changing kaleidoscope of bullshit
that we just keep getting fed,
where you're just like, ah, gosh, thank God that's over.
Never over.
We're just, it's just, it's all, everything's a cicada.
It just has a minute where you don't hear about it,
and then you're like, it's all right, we're doing what?
and they're like oh we did that like 50 other times
you just weren't here
he was reading about it but you were in a nightgown
it's fine
everything's fine
oh fuck I
that's the worst
that's the worst picture of us
that's nice
this
this
You're right.
You are right.
Not clapping.
You could have just...
You could have just given them the money.
Just like we could just take away
Elon's money and Bill Gates' money.
We can just take all their money
and then they're...
And then, what, 40 guys are fucked and we're all living good?
Yeah.
I mean, that's really what it is.
No, it is the...
Take away their fucking money.
I don't give a shit.
It is the idea.
No, I mean, literally take...
No talks...
I mean, literally take away their money
and leave them in barrels on the street.
How fucking...
Imagine just how much better society would be
if you just had
Bezos, Musk,
all these...
Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg.
All of all of...
Like, just ten of them.
On a train.
And a pile of horse shit.
Just firing a gun every 10 minutes.
And then making them, and then making them, like, to share handfuls of water.
And you know who's in the night down on that train.
Me.
You guys, I live here.
Doing a little dance in the corner.
Hey, aren't you the Facebook guy?
Everything's got seeds.
Well, I think it is crazy.
We'll get the fuck out of here,
but it is crazy that the solution is always to deport or vilify or blame,
and truly, if we just deported that one piece of fucking shit.
What a move.
How great would that be?
You could win a lot on deport Musk.
Oh, yeah.
You could go far if you were just like,
if you just stuck in there,
everything they threw at you,
they're like,
my opponent's not going to deport Elon Musk.
I am going to do that.
I'm going to get him the fuck out of here.
He is going to Mars in
2026.
It's happening.
In pieces.
In pieces.
We're going to chuck him out.
Today we send his stomach.
Thank you guys so much.
Appreciate it.
That's coming out.
Hey, dollop fans. I know you love the dollop. You love listening to the dollop. Do you want to watch the dollop? You're like, Gareth, what are you talking about? By the way, it's not Gary. It's Gareth. Well, we have partnered with Lakeside Animation, and we are starting to animate some of our episodes.
