That is a remarkably, stunning proposition, right? It's a very aggressive proposition by the government that essentially because Marco Rubio says so, a green card holder, a permanent resident of the United States, can be taken into detention [00:00:16] and found removable simply because Marco Rubio says so in a two page memo. You know what Mahmoud Khalil was saying? And what other student activists and students who have been detained or the threat of detention were saying was really very basic and uncontroversial that Palestinians deserve to live, [00:00:32] that they have human rights, too. So that in that clip was a lawyer for Mahmoud Khalil responding to Marco Rubio's memo, which we're going to break down here. But the story has been developing throughout the day. We have been expecting a Louisiana immigration judge to rule on whether or not Khalil could be deported from America, [00:00:50] despite being a legal resident, simply because Marco Rubio disagrees with positions that Khalil has taken, things that Khalil has said, and regrettably, the path has now been cleared for that to actually happen, despite the government doing a clownish job of making the case [00:01:06] for why that like incredible and radical step needs to be taken. So we're going to take you through all of this and try to figure out where we go from here. But the judge we're talking about is Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Jamie Comans. She stated or Jamie stated in this, in this hearing, that she had no authority [00:01:24] to question Marco Rubio's determination of the need to deport Khalil. So what's the evidence for this? Everybody's been wondering. We've been we've been told that this person could be a terrorist, for all we know, an imminent threat to America. So Comans had ordered the government to turn over any evidence [00:01:40] supporting the deportation order. And people were wondering, was there an assault? Was there property damage? Was there a death threat made against a Jewish student? No evidence was actually turned over. All that was turned over was the two page memo being referenced in that video. And that memo does not even allege any criminal conduct by Khalil. [00:01:58] Not even an accusation. Okay. And remember, this is a legal, permanent US resident graduate student who was just, you know, doing what Americans do, which is speak out and organize around issues they care about. So all Rubio did was argue that he could be expelled [00:02:14] simply for his beliefs and his speech. He said that while Khalil's activities were, quote, otherwise lawful, letting him remain in the US would undermine, quote, U.S. Policy to combat anti-Semitism around the world and in the United States. [00:02:29] In addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States. And he added that condoning anti-Semitic conduct, which they're not even describing. There's no evidence of anti-Semitic content except the fact that he advocates [00:02:44] for Palestinian lives, their ability to continue to exist without being murdered. That by itself is just that's all the evidence you need, that he is an imminent threat to the lives of Jewish students. And so the judge ruled that the government had met the burden of evidence [00:03:00] that the law requires that letter that just says his beliefs are enough. That's the burden of evidence that the judge was waiting to see met. And no other evidence was provided by Homeland Security. No documents? Nothing. That's it. And so that's not it for the deportation. [00:03:19] He's going to have a little period of time to appeal that the appeal will definitely happen. But this is this is one of these, like, hard lines that we've been waiting to see whether the government would cross. I've been trying to raise awareness about the true cancel culture, the true word police, the true thought police in America. [00:03:37] Yeah, I know, I know, right wingers. You make a joke and someone on Twitter calls you a racist. And that's really inconvenient. Have you been deported for your jokes? That's what the true cancel culture looks like when you get sent to Syria or Algeria. They haven't even decided where just one of those two countries, they're not even close to each other. [00:03:53] Just send them to one of them or whatever, because he held a position that the government doesn't think is politically correct. And so I think of this as a particularly dark day for America. And by the way, if the only allegation you need to be made is their mere existence here hurts our abstract goal of combating anti-Semitism worldwide, [00:04:11] well, then why would that only be undocumented migrants or green card holders? What about a US citizen that was advocating for Palestinian lives? Why would that not in the same way, hurt this pressing international campaign that Marco Rubio is so passionate about? [00:04:27] And so today it's a green card holder that a judge is agreeing can be deported? It could very well be a US citizen tomorrow. Yeah. And actually, US citizens have started to get stopped at the airports, including, lawyers for some of the peace protesters. [00:04:42] Total American citizens are like, all right, give me your phone. We want to see if you criticize Israel or if any of your clients criticize Israel. So that's it. Now you're under investigation. Okay, so this is the Israeli thought police running our government. [00:04:58] There's no question about it. I can prove it definitively in one second. First of all, you have to know there's two different issues in this case. So the one, is whether Mahmoud Khalil is guilty of anything. The other is, is this law constitutional? [00:05:13] So on the issue of whether he's guilty of anything, that jury has come in. Absolutely not. Because the government came in and had an opportunity to present evidence. And their evidence was literally nothing, just Rubio's statement saying, I think [00:05:29] he's hurting national security by being quote unquote, anti-Semitic, by the way. And the government admitted he has committed no crime. And remember, he's not he's not on a visa. He's a legal resident alien, okay. Meaning that he's on his way to becoming a US citizen and he's supposed [00:05:48] to have almost every right a writer U.S. Citizen has other than voting. Okay. And so he's fully should be fully protected by the US Constitution and whatever laws apply to him when it comes to freedom of speech also apply to American citizens. So if you say, oh yeah, whatever foreigner, man, I don't care that [00:06:04] there's no evidence, just kick him out. Okay, but you're taking away your own rights and you're signing them away so that no one is allowed to criticize Israel. Is it worth it? Is that the big goal? Like, oh my God, we stopped criticism of Israel. America is safe. And first, is it. [00:06:21] Okay, so. And now at some point, the lawyer for the government comically says, well, yeah, but we also submitted some evidence to the court that is not public. And Halil's lawyer is like, really? Where is it? Because obviously his lawyer can see it there like it's somewhere it's in any [00:06:40] evidence they admit he committed no crime. They have. Oh, by the way, they were saying in the beginning, well, you know, aligned with Hamas Or my mind will ideologically or something. Now this time around, they're asked, hey, is he aligned with Hamas? Do you have evidence? Because that would be, you know, really, really important. [00:06:56] Like, no he's not. They don't mention it at all. Not aligned with Hamas, not aligned with terrorism. They made up everything. And they say, oh no, no, no, but he's an anti-Semite. He literally went on TV and spoke out against anti-Semitism. So like 100%, because he spoke out against [00:07:15] Israel having nothing to do with any other issue now that it connected to things. So the judge says, look, I get it. This guy who presented no evidence at all but the law, this 1952 law says [00:07:31] if the Secretary of State thinks that someone is a national security threat just because of any reason, any reason at all, because they had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and Marco Rubio thought, you know what, I that bothers me. And that's a national security threat. - I don't have a choice. - Maybe he's allergic. [00:07:48] And she said especially because she's an immigration judge. So this gets to the silver lining, right? There's no silver lining. Just like hope that it can be reversed. So she's like, it's not. I literally can't decide if this law is unconstitutional. You have to go to the regular courts. Right. [00:08:04] Not the immigration courts to decide that as an immigration judge, all I'm saying is, you're right. That 1952 law exists. You're right in that law, the Secretary of State can say I. He looked at my wife funny. I think he's a national security threat. He's out of the country, right? [00:08:21] So. Oh, he's running against me in Florida. That's it. He's out of the country for any reason. So she her hand is tied. I don't blame her for the decision. But in the regular courts. And it's in new Jersey now because he was picked up, in that area and then transferred to Louisiana. [00:08:37] And so that's going through the federal court system. That's where they have to decide. Is this law unconstitutional? Because if you allow this law to to continue and say it is constitutional, then there goes freedom of speech. Because the courts have said that legal resident aliens, [00:08:56] green card holders have the same exact freedom of speech rights as US citizens. So if they say, okay, according to this law, Secretary of State can make up any reason at all and you're a goner. Well, that means you, the Secretary of State, can throw out anyone he wants [00:09:12] from the country for any reason. And yes, because they're using their constitutionally protected speech. And so and if you're again, if you're on the right wing and you say, well, I don't care about no stinking evidence and that law exists and I just want to throw them all out, he looks Muslim or whatever he does. [00:09:30] And or you know what, I love Israel, and I don't think any American or any, legal resident of America should be allowed to criticize Israel. It hurts my feelings slightly. So that's it. Throw them. Throw them out. Okay, but you can't say you're for free speech. [00:09:45] That's it. Period. Period. There's no argument for even if you think, oh, the Supreme Court's been wrong for 200 years straight, the Constitution shouldn't apply to American citizens. I know better than the Supreme Court. Okay. All right. Even so, what you're saying is I don't want him to have speech rights. [00:10:03] I don't like freedom of speech. I don't like anyone having the ability to criticize this foreign government. So I hate free speech. That's why I want this guy kicked out. Be honest about it. It is literally impossible to be in favor of free speech and say that he should be [00:10:19] kicked out for his speech against Israel. Literally impossible. Okay, so you got to make up your mind. Do you hate free speech or do you want him to stay? This law is obviously unconstitutional, obviously. Now, whether the Supreme Court thinks it's as obvious as we do [00:10:38] is going to be an open question, because Clarence Thomas and Alito are going to want to kick him out, right? And so but they did. The Supreme Court just did rule nine to nothing. On the El Salvador case saying, no, you got to bring him back. [00:10:54] So there's nuance to that. But overall, they just said unanimously even Clarence Thomas saying, no, he's innocent. You really got to bring him back, right? You had no legal authority to send him. So will the courts hold in that regard? Well, that's everything, because if they don't hold on this, [00:11:09] they're basically saying, that's it. You can round them up. Now, for those of you who are Israeli supporters and any critic criticism of Israel, including what we've just said here, ruffles your feathers and you're like the 50,000 dead people are not that 15,000 dead children. Not that important, but my father's very important, right? [00:11:27] And this is ruffling my feathers. And and you shouldn't be allowed to to do that. And, you know, thank you. Saying that this is just about Israel and the Israeli thought police. Well, that's very anti-Semitic to say that, right? Okay. [00:11:42] But Rubio could have put literally anything in that letter as justification to kick him out. He could have put. And remember, it's all invented. The guy's actually against anti-Semitism. So he could have put this guy hates America. That's why I'm kicking him out. This guy hates Norway. [00:11:58] That's why I'm kicking him out. This guy is, you know, hurting our national security because he once looked at a military facility. He could have written anything. What was the one thing he wrote? Anti-semitism. Okay. That's it. No one should be allowed to criticize Israel. [00:12:14] And I'm going to call it anti-Semitism, even though the guy's the opposite. So that if you like, if you're still pretending that Israel doesn't control our politicians. I mean, you can pretend all you like, but the jury's in. Everyone knows literally everyone knows that Israel controls America. [00:12:33] So Biden gave him a blank check, let him do whatever the hell they wanted. Kamala Harris could have won. Michigan could have at least picked up a lot of votes if she just disagreed with Israel. An inch. An inch? Nope. Nope nope. Bow down to Israel. [00:12:48] Now Trump comes in and he's like, you think you guys are Israeli ass kissers? Hold my beer. Okay, watch me now. Hey, and Rubio, what did I tell you about Rubio? The minute he was announced as the secretary of state, I said, that's a Miriam Adelson pick. [00:13:03] He's a neocon, and his only job is to protect Israel, not America. And boom, right here in that letter, don't give a damn about America or anything else. Israel, Israel, Israel, they're the kings. And this guy dared to criticize them, get them out of the country, even though [00:13:19] it destroys freedom of speech in America. Man, I just the hypocrisy is not lost on me that the party that calls themselves, you know, extinguishing die all over the country and in the government realistically just [00:13:34] switched out the I and II with Israel, where you know the same people that used to cry about safe spaces on campus, used to cry about trigger warnings, used to cry about, you know, all the free speech that's being stifled on campus are lining up right now [00:13:52] to see this kid get deported. This dude get deported, because he opposes the Israeli regime and their management of the conflict in Gaza. It's it's really quite stunning. And just the idea, like, just think about it like, let's just say, you know, [00:14:07] some immigrant stood on the corner and protested the drone war in Yemen or, you know, or the drone war in places in East Africa, the like, Somalia and stuff like that that we're carrying out. Right? Would they be deported? [00:14:23] No. No. And what they would be doing is opposing, you know, the way that the US military is conducting a war, and nobody would ever say that the US military and their actions, and every single thing that they do, is somehow a perfect representation of every [00:14:42] single American and therefore condemning the US military and its actions. Like if you condemned, you know, Abu Ghraib or if you condemned, My Lai, or if you condemned any of the atrocities, countless atrocities that the American military has ever committed, [00:15:00] that you were somehow condemning every single American citizen. Nobody said that because it's ridiculous. Nobody would buy that. Nobody would go for that. And the only thing that I'm heartened by is like, their time is running out. The Democrats, the base, have completely, completely turned against [00:15:18] the Israeli regime and their war in Gaza. And I would say, shoot, man, I'd be surprised if most Republicans even support what the Israelis are doing in Gaza. Yeah. No, that's look, that's what I keep saying. And everybody's skeptical about it. And I get it. Like in the beginning, the Trump guys, especially the loud ones [00:15:35] that are MAGA online, come in roaring. Who cares? Kick him out of the country. He's an immigrant, right? But no, I see tons and tons of right wingers. In fact, there's a great example of that today. The Dave Smith Douglas Murray debate on Joe Rogan. Right. [00:15:51] I don't know if you guys have seen this, but Douglas Murray is an Israeli propagandist and he's like a smug prick. - And he goes around and go. - Did you know I've been in Israel? I went in on IDF marketing tours in Israel. So I'm the only expert. I'm the only expert, right? [00:16:07] And he went and tried that crap on Joe Rogan. And Dave Smith batted him around a little bit. And the entire right wing internet, other than the Israeli supporters, are like, yeah, that wasn't close. Dave Smith is definitely right and Douglas Murray is a giant d-bag. Okay, so they're losing the right guys. I know. [00:16:25] Like for those of you look that's great news because and remember the left. God, we need more power. We weaken. The populist left never actually gets into power. And it's so frustrating. But unfortunately, in this country, the right wing has infinite power. [00:16:41] So Israel is playing with fire. So they keep antagonizing the right wing America. Second. America second. Israel. First. Israel first. Right. Poke the bear. Poke the bear and see how it turns out for you. Because when you lose the right wing in America, you're in a world of hurt. [00:17:00] So. And especially to Oz's point, the left is already gone. Look, I don't know anyone who wasn't already an Israeli supporter who now thinks, oh, Israel's right. I mean, they just haven't killed enough Palestinians. I just want to add one quick thing. And this is maybe about the poke and the bear thing and Oz's point, like, [00:17:18] there's all these people that are like, oh, I deeply love free speech. Also deport him for his beliefs. Well, let's say that this stands and the Supreme Court doesn't overturn it, and establishes that if the Secretary of State thinks that we need to combat anti-Semitism, then we just start shipping out anti-Semites. [00:17:37] I think the right might want to think twice about that, because while they point to like saying don't kill Palestinian kids as anti-Semitism, you want to start talking about actual anti-Semitism in this country. You think the right is clean on that. Maybe the next time they start chanting, we shall not replace. [00:17:52] - Us, we. - Gas up the plane. John. I promise I'll point them out by name. - I'll start snitching quick. - Oh, yeah. No, it's not hard. They. They march in the streets, ship them out of here. Glenn Beck with his black board of Jewish billionaires. The cabal seems anti-Semitic. Get him out of here. [00:18:10] Alex Jones is probably spreading an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory literally as we're recording this. Marjorie Greene with her Jewish space lasers. That is materially combating our ability to fight anti-Semitism worldwide. Deport her ass. Get her out of here. Ship her to Moscow or El Salvador or whatever. [00:18:27] If it turns out that this is totally cool, totally constitutional, then let's learn lessons from this and start combating anti-Semitism by shipping out all these actual anti-Semites. Yeah, I'm mostly sarcastic there. Look, 5050. [00:18:42] We've been principled and consistent throughout. We actually believe in the First Amendment. We believe in freedom of speech, and we believe in America. And that we and we believe that we should not be controlled by any foreign government. And this one is brazen. Anyone saying, no, it's not about Israel. [00:19:00] Who is it about? Peru. Sweden. I mean, what? You're joking right? So here it is. All right. Oh, by the way, last thing, Marco Rubio was considered the uncontroversial, nominee. [00:19:15] And I said at the time, no, he's actually one of the worst people that Trump, put up just. Oh, they're like, oh, yes, but he's part of the establishment, so he's fine. No he's not. He was handpicked by Trump's largest donor, the Adelson family. They've given him $337 million over three election cycles. [00:19:33] And they said, you will pick our boy, Marco Rubio, put him at secretary of state, and he will serve Israel, and you'll shut up about it. Trump and I guess they took his speech rights away as well, because Trump has been muted. The one time that Trump is muted is when he's sitting next to Netanyahu and then [00:19:49] he's like, oh yes, yes, we will control Gaza and we will do the unexploded bombs. Dear sir, you precious IDF shouldn't lose their lives. America's you go in and lose your lives for the unexploded bombs in Gaza. Okay. And we're going to drive out the Palestinians ourselves. [00:20:05] But I don't dare say anything against Netanyahu. Can I speak now? Bibi. Boss, can I speak? Right wing. That's your. That's your tough guy. - Alpha male. - Yeah. Come get your boy. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. [00:20:20] Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
