But it's not just that.

It's the fact that, of course, under this administration, they found a kindred spirit.

FIFA presented Donald Trump with this peace prize that I have no idea if it'll ever be presented to anyone ever again.
voice-verified
But certainly Donald Trump was the first and effectively the only winner.

By the way, FIFA cannot be blamed for the fact that the United States is at war with Iran, a war of choice that is unfolding as we speak, while also hosting that same country at the World Cup, which means that they are also forcing the Iranian players, which were supposed to stay in the United States, to Mexico, which is one of the other host countries here.
voice-verified
It's Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.
voice-verified
It's just a surreal...
voice-verified
It's an embarrassing spectacle.
voice-verified

Nicole, there's a story we reported on our show with The Athletic and The New York Times in which Kansas City paid $15 million of public money to construct a pop-up jail to house people who would have been arrested during the World Cup.
voice-verified
And this jail, there's video that we play of it.
voice-verified
This jail being revealed, being announced to the politicians who signed off on it.
voice-verified
And you hear in the hot mic tape that we have them comparing it to an ICE detention facility.
voice-verified
Jesus.
voice-verified
Because there are no windows because it looks like a warehouse.
voice-verified
It is all of those things.
voice-verified
And in fact, it was constructed by the same folks who built Guantanamo Bay.
voice-verified
Like, this is all, again, the same stuff swirling inside of the same story.
voice-verified
And, of course, the kicker to that story, the $15 million in public money that went towards funding it, is that the jail wasn't finished in time.
voice-verified
And so now Kansas City is claiming, oh, actually, this is part of a longer-term project beyond the World Cup, blah, blah, blah, blah.
