What recent Supreme Court ruling affects Trump's tariffs?
Hello and welcome to the Bulldog Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. Delighted to be with you from Minneapolis this morning. We are going to get to our guest here in a minute, but I just wanted to talk to you a bit about our last couple of days. We had two amazing live shows. We had a bunch of special guests, Governor Tim Walz, Tina Smith. You heard her yesterday. Minnesota Angry Man came out on the Thursday night show. And Sam interviewed Superintendent Zena Stenvik. And that one was gutting, hearing what these goons have been doing at schools around Minnesota. We're going to be releasing that and the Next Level podcast that we did, a big supersized Next Level with Sam Stein last night. Did some audience Q&A.
You're going to be able to see all that. Just make sure you're subscribed to us over on YouTube. Subscribe to the Borg Takes feed, the Next Level feed.
How is the war in Ukraine evolving on its fourth anniversary?
Over the weekend, we'll be rolling out elements from the shows. It was... Truly inspiring to be there with everybody from Minnesota and appreciated so much just their energy and enthusiasm and love and their stories of hearing what they've been doing in their communities, volunteering. Before the shows, we had the opportunity to go out to the Whipple building and talk to protesters out there and then to the pretty and good memorials. And my biggest takeaway about kind of what's happening on the ground here that's different than maybe what I expected, talking to folks at the Whipple building where people which is basically ICE headquarters building up here, is that there's still a ton of activity, like a ton of cars coming in and out of there, 10 Bison CBP agents, a lot of people getting released who had been detained either inside Whipple or at Whipple and then sent to Texas and then brought back.
And like one protester, I thought this was a relevant anecdote. She lived about 40 minutes away in Wisconsin in kind of a whatever ex-urban-ish community that's more spread out, more sparse. And so they had, you know, 10 ICBP agents in her community in the last week. And we're hearing that from a lot of people up here that, you know, maybe, you What Homan is doing and what the strategy is, is to move some of these agents outside of, you know, the areas where, you know, there's organized resistance already in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and instead push it out into areas that are less dense where... Maybe there's less groups already together of constitutional watchers. And so that's something I think we should keep monitoring.
They have funding for all these guys.
What are the implications of Trump's potential military actions in Iran?
They're not just going to sit around eating donuts, put their thumb up their ass. All right, they're going to be out there doing something. And signs now are pointing to these agents using kind of different tactics, maybe not quite as aggressive tactics against the protesters, but different types of tactics to go abduct immigrants and that they're doing it more outside of the main cities. So we'll keep monitoring that. Uh, I thought that was a somewhat dispiriting update, but you know, it was on the other hand, like pretty inspiring to see these people out there. The woman I was talking to from Wisconsin's like, I'm out here every day, three hours driving in 45 minutes. It's cold as balls. Uh, let me tell you, my feet were freezing.
You know, I didn't really pack for the weather. I forgot my coat. Luckily I got a $9 one, uh, thanks to JVL at the department store. But, um, It's amazing what folks are out there doing. We went then to the Pretty Memorial and the Good and Pretty Memorial.
How does the Board of Peace plan to address conflicts in the Middle East?
And it was really tough. I had a tough time with it. And the Pretty one in particular, I think maybe just because I've seen the video so many times, it was just very easy to visualize standing there. My subconscious knew all the signposts. I haven't watched the video so much. And so I was visualizing. them executing him in the street, walking through and just getting very mad and emotional and had to walk away for a little bit. When I walked back, I took to this guy, Jeff, who is there, who's been going there most days, help, you know, protect and clean up the memorial and, you know, just be a watcher, be a helper out there.
