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
Starting point is 00:01:40 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.

Starting point is 00:02:17 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
Starting point is 00:02:37 in Arizona. The International Workers of the World Union. Oh, wow. Oh, fuck yeah. What the fuck? It's a cat. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:02:50 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...
Starting point is 00:03:10 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.
Starting point is 00:03:24 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.
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:03:59 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.
Starting point is 00:04:21 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.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Mew-W. It's just, it's what the cat says. Oh, my God. Mew-Mew! Mew! You bastards. IWW Organizers then headed West
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:09 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:02 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
Starting point is 00:06:18 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.
Starting point is 00:06:34 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...
Starting point is 00:07:05 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.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Smart. Good policy. Yep, but we don't stop. It comes around. Yeah. No, it doesn't come around. It just stays. Oh.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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?
Starting point is 00:07:39 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.
Starting point is 00:07:52 No. Whoa. Yeah. Anybody here from Bisby? No. Perfect. We're not. Stands up.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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
Starting point is 00:08:22 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
Starting point is 00:08:32 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
Starting point is 00:08:44 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
Starting point is 00:08:59 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.
Starting point is 00:09:11 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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.
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:10:10 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.
Starting point is 00:10:48 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.
Starting point is 00:11:08 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.
Starting point is 00:11:29 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
Starting point is 00:11:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:57 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.
Starting point is 00:12:10 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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...
Starting point is 00:13:01 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.
Starting point is 00:13:19 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
Starting point is 00:13:47 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.
Starting point is 00:14:03 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.
Starting point is 00:14:19 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.
Starting point is 00:14:32 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.
Starting point is 00:14:43 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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
Starting point is 00:15:20 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
Starting point is 00:15:34 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.
Starting point is 00:15:49 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.
Starting point is 00:16:13 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.
Starting point is 00:16:33 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
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:03 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
Starting point is 00:17:27 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
Starting point is 00:17:50 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,
Starting point is 00:18:06 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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.
Starting point is 00:18:42 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
Starting point is 00:18:56 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
Starting point is 00:19:12 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?
Starting point is 00:19:24 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.
Starting point is 00:19:35 They're secret Germans. They don't have accents, but they're Germans. Duh! Trust us. They're German. Just us. Christ.
Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:04 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.
Starting point is 00:20:26 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?
Starting point is 00:20:42 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.
Starting point is 00:20:58 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?
Starting point is 00:21:08 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.
Starting point is 00:21:25 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!
Starting point is 00:21:39 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
Starting point is 00:21:54 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
Starting point is 00:22:13 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?
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:44 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?
Starting point is 00:23:00 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.
Starting point is 00:23:13 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.
Starting point is 00:23:34 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.
Starting point is 00:23:48 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.
Starting point is 00:24:19 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
Starting point is 00:24:45 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,
Starting point is 00:25:02 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
Starting point is 00:25:27 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
Starting point is 00:25:43 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
Starting point is 00:25:59 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.
Starting point is 00:26:17 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
Starting point is 00:26:35 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
Starting point is 00:26:48 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
Starting point is 00:26:58 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.
Starting point is 00:27:10 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.
Starting point is 00:27:26 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.
Starting point is 00:27:36 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.
Starting point is 00:27:56 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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.
Starting point is 00:28:29 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,
Starting point is 00:28:42 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.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Germans. Fuck. Shoot your friend. Kill. So they already had a list of people that the mining companies had given them. Cool.
Starting point is 00:29:06 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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.
Starting point is 00:29:34 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
Starting point is 00:29:44 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

Starting point is 00:30:09 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
Starting point is 00:30:31 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.
Starting point is 00:30:49 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,
Starting point is 00:31:06 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.

Starting point is 00:54:45 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.

Starting point is 00:56:18 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.
Starting point is 00:56:35 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.

Starting point is 00:57:51 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
Starting point is 00:58:16 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
Starting point is 00:58:32 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?
Starting point is 00:58:52 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
Starting point is 00:59:11 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

Starting point is 01:01:37 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
Starting point is 01:01:51 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,
Starting point is 01:02:09 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,
Starting point is 01:02:27 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
Starting point is 01:02:48 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...
Starting point is 01:03:03 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.
Starting point is 01:03:21 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
Starting point is 01:03:36 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
Starting point is 01:03:57 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.
Starting point is 01:04:15 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.
Starting point is 01:04:28 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
Starting point is 01:04:43 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
Starting point is 01:05:03 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?
Starting point is 01:05:16 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.
Starting point is 01:05:30 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
Starting point is 01:05:45 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
Starting point is 01:06:01 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
Starting point is 01:06:17 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
Starting point is 01:06:33 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
Starting point is 01:06:57 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
Starting point is 01:07:15 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
Starting point is 01:07:31 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,
Starting point is 01:07:47 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.
Starting point is 01:07:57 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
Starting point is 01:08:13 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
Starting point is 01:08:36 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
Starting point is 01:08:54 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...
Starting point is 01:09:09 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.
Starting point is 01:09:22 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.
Starting point is 01:09:35 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.
Starting point is 01:10:03 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?
Starting point is 01:10:28 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.
Starting point is 01:10:56 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
Starting point is 01:11:09 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.
Starting point is 01:11:25 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.
Starting point is 01:11:40 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
Starting point is 01:12:06 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
Starting point is 01:12:20 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.
Starting point is 01:12:36 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.
Starting point is 01:13:04 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.
Starting point is 01:13:13 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,
Starting point is 01:13:26 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,
Starting point is 01:13:44 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?
Starting point is 01:14:00 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,
Starting point is 01:14:24 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
Starting point is 01:14:41 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
Starting point is 01:14:58 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
Starting point is 01:15:09 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
Starting point is 01:15:19 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
Starting point is 01:15:32 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.
Starting point is 01:15:48 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
Starting point is 01:16:12 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
Starting point is 01:16:26 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
Starting point is 01:16:43 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
Starting point is 01:17:04 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
Starting point is 01:17:28 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
Starting point is 01:17:45 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...
Starting point is 01:17:59 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
Starting point is 01:18:24 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.
Starting point is 01:18:49 And now it's fine. We fix. it. I hope there's a... I hope someone brought their right winger friend. Ah! No!
Starting point is 01:19:08 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.
Starting point is 01:19:25 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
Starting point is 01:19:53 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
Starting point is 01:20:08 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
Starting point is 01:20:35 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.
Starting point is 01:20:50 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
Starting point is 01:21:06 if you just had Bezos, Musk, all these... Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg. All of all of... Like, just ten of them. On a train.
Starting point is 01:21:16 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?
Starting point is 01:21:43 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.
Starting point is 01:22:13 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.
Starting point is 01:22:26 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.
