ICE vs. Your Lyin’ Eyes feat. Ken Klippenstein (Premium E319)

Dolly Parton for president

Jayden Scott showed up at my mate's front door in MN threatening him and now my mate has to move.

I was finishing this episode a little late so I hope you see this! I live in Minnesota! I was busting saying JESSE VENTURA! JESSE VENTURA! I voted for him when I was young & stupid & he didn’t do half bad!

I think the most Trump thing Trump could do is to die on television. He does his nodding off while everyone else pretends not to notice-things and then slowly people realize a strangely long time has passed and they're all getting increasingly worried but nobody dares say anything because if they're wrong he'll be super mad.

And you know who else is being paid to cross state lines, provoke violence agaist them and cause chaos and turmoil on behalf of billionaires' agendas who don't care if they get hurt? ICE.

"Huh, a cat walked by" -Jake Rockatanzski

I live in a purple/red spot in California where there are real die hard magas. Every time there’s supposedly low approval ratings… it’s hard to have hope out here.

It's like Orwell and Huxley had really nasty gay sex, had a grotesquely deformed baby that took PCP and steroids for 25 years, read "The Camp of the Saints," armed up and started doing violence.

You guys need to get with the program and start posting video already. I wanna see your bright shiny faces.

Absolutely bonkers to hear my college journalism mentor’s name mentioned in here. Dave is solid. Glad his reporting is helping!

Who could’ve predicted this

For the Vance’s and the Rubio’s who used to oppose Trump… I swear the Trump people drag them into a room for indoctrination and say, “hey, look, we know we’re lying every single day and we know we are pieces of shit… but we’re doing it for the greater good and to defeat wokeism”. I honestly believe that talk happens at some point because they all go in hating Trump and walk out like programmed stepford wives, completely onboard with violating the constitution and breaking every rule in the book.

Fuck I’ll have to throw my pea coat out now

Jake—at ~1 hr and 10 min, the concept you are describing is essentially going from a ‘natural’ higher-dimensional manifold to an artificially constrained lower-dimensional manifold. Spark you up a ghost boner and watch some videos on information theory and differential manifolds, bro But for real, it brings me no joy to say that a lot of these weaponized information dynamics, unfortunately, have scientific backing

It’s amazing how many podcasts I listen to reference Dave. It was at the time a feel good 90’s movie that was oddly believable.

Oh my god I can't believe I haven't considered that. Trump dies and they make an AI Trump with some excuse as to why he can't make public appearances. I bet that idea has at least been floated.

The "surge" was under obama IIRC

There was no driveway. You all normally are informed and researched. I really hope you do better.

Oh Jake you’re forgetting that the problem is that Texas is full of Texans. You know, who vote for Ted Cruz 🤮😵

Mathew Mconnahey (however that's spelled)is a great pick because all the GOP morons who think TV is real will be delighted to vote for a guy who likes high school girls for staying the same age.

“Rubbing bacon on a Quran” Just a reminder to all the Islamophobes of the world. Muslims are not vampires. They don’t eat pork but are not repelled by it like a supernatural monster. Also the same “God” told you all not to eat pork too but the early Christian church was more interested in recruiting then really sticking to all the rules and they knew European pagans loved that swine meat so pig eating got hand waved away by some passage Jesus probably didn’t even say.

Thank you Jake, Travis and Liv for a well researched and compassionate episode.

It's a fascist ratchet. It advances to the next notch, and doesn't slip back. That's the name reason I'm against Gavin for president, he seems too much like a Reagan Republican to me.

141

I think that guy at the end is lying about being a fired/cancelled CEO so he can get a gofundme lol

Yes Biden 2028, but not Joe, Hunter. VP AOC. That’s how the arrests happen, and how Woke II starts.

Bob Odenkirk/David Cross 2028

Jake, this country needs the dedication and craft of Nick Fucking Cage.

I think Alex Garland wanted you to understand that the Western Alliance was not sustainable or an end to the conflict.

Meth nazi going all "Step to me offline" should be funnier but we live in hell.

It's funny that you call that the Mackelmore haircut. I've been a hairstylist for 20 years and I've always felt hard pressed to come up with a better description than 'hitler youth' for that particular cut.

I love Jake 'I'm an optimist' 'I wish teddy would eat me'

Liv Agar

Bring back Julian

Liv can say she’s not on Twitter anymore, but Twitter is still clearly in her. Nobody who isn’t permanently trapped in Twitter is going to say the phrase Molesting the Money

In the mind of these nazi fucks every Jewish person wants to destroy America at any and all costs. So obviously random people being killed serves those ends. It's simple escalation. If the populace rises up against the military state we will kill each other. It's pretty simple, and very stupid. Keep up the good work guys.

The way that ppl are so fucking stupid when you bring up "narco trafficking" as if all of the cartels aren't just straight up US intelligence cutouts

Liv agar

Kamala Harris couldn’t brainwash my orange cat

Liv agar

Jon Stewart could run, I stick by it

Liv Agar!

Jake! JD Vance is fine with all of it. Calling Trump Hitler was just what he thought would be useful at the time, a useful statement of convenience. Basing what you think he "thinks" currently is naive in the extreme. He's a bad guy who needs power above all else, that's all. He doesn't have qualms, none.

What about the SVU duo?

Just wanna shout out Cor-hee for keeping Jake’s ADHD cat distraction in the final edit. Made me laugh out loud alone in my apartment haha

George W did so much to set the stage for this type state over reach. It is disappointing the Dems did not curtail DHS or even put it out to pasture. I am not sure Trump had ‘totally end American democracy’ on his to do list when he won again. I hope not.

Another calm and informative episode. Good job.

Julian Feeld

Stop calling ICE members officers. They are not the same as police or military.

As a resident of Minnesota and someone who works in downtown Mpls, my current feeling is that the diametrically opposed perceptions of the killing and subsequent protests/federal escalation have made it clear to me that we are living in two different countries with two distinct sets of values. I don’t personally see how we can ever bridge this divide and move forward as any sort of “united America.” I literally woke up five minutes ago from a dream in which I was bicycling Gov Walz through our chaotic town while giving him a piece of my mind. Sorry shit is very raw for me right now.

I think it's beautiful that some members of DHS, an organization that exists to spy on and terrorize the populace, are upset that it looks bad when they do that. They truly wish things were different and that's very touching. Every single one of them can be the change they want to see by putting a gun in their fucking mouth.

It's hanged, Jake, not hung. Your president is not a tapestry

liv agar

Hey, it's our man, K. Klipz!

Lack of Julian, rules!

Great episode. These people believe that TV CSI enhanced photos is real. Of course they believe that a “recreation” of the scene is proof

No money to go full fascist? Not kinda weird once Elon was back on the team they went forward with full speed? I dunno guys think we might be actual fucked

Great episode... but I have to admit, with all the rhetoric about 2016 in the past week, I was a bit disappointed when the show didn't start with the old theme music... (which I kinda miss as it was like a QAA-style AED, shocking people from whatever reality they were currently experiencing into the world QAA covers).

…I think this is where I have to unsubscribe unfortunately. Klippenstein is a huge hack who has appeared on Greenwald and Bannon’s podcasts and once put out an article defending Pete Hegseth. The continuing platforming of him despite all this is very disappointing and I’m not comfortable with my money going towards it

A cat walked by!

Hilariously. Jaime Lannisters father-in-law is a Greenlandic MP. Putting him on the front lines of the resistance.

Fuck I.C.E. Has anyone else seen Greg Bovino walking around with his wannabe United States Marine Corps haircut. He looks like a fucking idiot.

To answer Jake: President Tim McGraw or maybe President Stephen Colbert

Yeah, cops constantly kill people, but these taint cicle motherfuckers aren't even "law enforcement." They're little men who are less qualified than mall cops cosplaying Tom Clancy.

God I love "The Canine Mutiny." The Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein era is peak fucking Simpsons.

It's not fucking ideal Jake.

Good Ol' Clippy

ICE, Border Patrol, etc all have one thing in common; they lack empathy. That hole is filled with rage, and hate.

You know it will be a good episode when you see Ken Klippenstein’s name in the description!

Hell yeah
