Ich meine, sie fliegen runter. And using the executive orders to target individuals in this way or as a means of leverage to extract a political price is an insane new form of executive abuse. And we don't even have a terminology for it yet.
Wolfsbandas! Wolfsbandas!
I don't even know.
Transpenguins.
But this is where I think there is opportunity to shift the burden on them and also just make it absurd. Like, can someone ask, like, can you tell me what the penguins and pandas did wrong? Like, just can we start forcing these questions to be like, why? Why are we cracking down on the National Zoo? Maybe they're doing something insane.
Aber wiederum, wie diese randome Exekutive Ordnung, wir werden die Smithsonian anregen, wir werden den Zoo anregen, zusammen mit jedem anderen. Was ist da los? Weil wir müssen die Möglichkeit haben, zu lachen und ein bisschen Absurdität in diesem Thema zu haben.
Ja, also das ist eine Exekutive Ordnung. Like what are we supposed to do? Like shroud, mask it? Like what are we doing?
I want to point out a few bright spots because it's important to show who is doing well versus, by the way, like you having George Conway on last week to talk about Paul White. That was great. Very informative. Glad that he really brought it to them. That was necessary. But we did see, you know, there is the Perkins Coie executive order.
There was a story in the Wall Street Journal yesterday about how it's fighting back. Great. You know, they're one of the good ones right now. And also, more importantly, its biggest clients are staying. That includes Boeing, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, NFL. Because, right, in order for these law firms to not only stay and fight, they have to not lose clients. So, like...
I want to say thank you, thank you, keep fighting. We need everyone to stick together on this because the whole point of using these orders is to divide and conquer people and pit these law firms against each other so they start stealing clients.
But there was like a sweet part of that Wall Street Journal story is that the day after they got the order, apparently this managing director, I think in Seattle, someone sent a bouquet of flowers to them just saying thank you, like for standing up. Und er hat ein Bild gemacht und es jeder 600 Personen in diesem Büro geliefert.
Ich weiß nicht, wer das geliefert hat, aber die Tatsache, dass sie es bemerkt haben. Diese sind reiche Menschen. Sie können ihre eigenen Blumen kaufen. Sie können sich Blumenpartys jeden Tag machen, wenn sie wollen. Sie gehen mit Lays herum. Aber sie wurden getäuscht, dass jemand das für sie gemacht hat. Sie haben ein Bild genommen und es umgebracht und es in einen Journalismus-Story gemacht.
Bitte finden Sie Wege, um zu feiern und kinderlich zu sein für die Leute, die das Richtige tun. Wir müssen viel Zeit über das Böse sprechen. Aber wenn Sie diese kleinen Schmerzen des Hoffnisses sehen, I hope they don't reverse stance. Celebrate that. And so then there was also an executive order that came down. Was this another one last night against another law firm? Wilmer Hale.
I'm not a big law person. They're pushing back. I saw a statement from Ryan Goodman, who tracks all this stuff. Where they issued a statement saying essentially like we're standing up for the rule of law, blah, blah, blah. Good. So we have two firms doing the right thing in light of the bad. Maybe that will encourage other people to stand together.
And I think these things do have a way of starting and having a line of separation between the cavers and these people who take an oath to uphold the rule of law actually doing it. is a pretty good stark dividing line and hopefully people want to be on the right side of the ledger.
Wait, that was on ABC News?
Okay, I didn't see that. I was highly entertained by the AP write-up of this visit coming to action. We'll get to the bad part, but can we just walk through some of the absurdity of it? Sure, let's do it. This is an AP story. It says, initially, Osha Vance had announced a solo trip. But then her husband had to join her. Then they had to change the itinerary.
Again, they're supposed to see dog sled racing. Apparently, they were not welcome at the dog sled race. So then they had to narrow the visit. She had to bring her husband. And then they could only go to the military space force base. So like...
I mean, don't you get the impression that they thought by sending her, they could send like the nice face as like to warm them up towards, I guess, JD and Walt's coming later.
How do you piss off Greenland and also Canada? I mean, this is kind of amazing.
