What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We're excited to tell you about a new project from Amazon MGM called Melania. For years, the people in charge have tried to tell you who she is, but they didn't show you who she is. Now you can see for yourself. Every protocol, every precaution, every single move, meticulously coordinated. This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration. And it does it through the eyes of the First Lady, Melania Trump. The briefings, the plannings, the private conversations.
What experiences did Rubin and his brother face while documenting migration?
Witness what it takes to get there, to become First Lady of the United States. Mark your calendars. Melania premieres in theaters January 30th. So I just love the idea of this documentary so much where you actually go to the places along the trail of migration into the West. Where did you start?
We started in Mauritania and then we went to the Canary Islands, which is a Spanish territory.
What shocking revelations did the undercover footage reveal about migration?
But, you know, so to Spain, the Canary Islands, and we went to mainland Spain, to France and the United Kingdom.
Unbelievable. What's Mauritania for those who don't know?
Mauritania is a West African Islamic Republic, and that is the launch point where a lot of these so-called migrants leave on boat and head to the Canary Islands. They leave from other countries as well, but Mauritania nowadays is the main launch point.
Why Mauritania?
How does the documentary portray the situation for LGBTQ+ migrants in Europe?
It's just a convenient point. They sort of come from all over the Sahal and Maghreb up north. And then from south, they'll come from Sierra Leone. They'll come from Senegal and other countries. And they sort of meet there. And it's also geographically situated near the Canary Islands, so it's convenient. And that's where they leave from. But they also leave from countries like Senegal or I think they leave from Jordan sometimes.
It's kind of crazy, though, that you as an American and your brother also, just two Americans... Can know exactly how this works. You're just two ambitious young guys. Right. You don't work for CIA. That's right. And somehow, you know, the migrant route and the means of transporting hundreds of thousands, millions of people illegally. Right.
How do you know that? Yeah, well, we've been studying this for a while. We studied this very intensively here in the United States. As I said to you earlier off camera, we were the first Americans, as far as I'm aware, I mean, somebody could contact me if this is incorrect, but I'm not aware of anybody else that's done it. We were the first Americans to go from South America, from Ecuador to the US border. And when you look at what's going on in Europe, a lot of the same organizations are running the show out there as well. And so if you know, okay, you just read the news. Okay, they're landing in the Canary Islands. They're taking off from Mauritania. From there, it's not really that difficult to start putting it together.
And as long as you know what NGOs to go check out, what questions to ask, you'll figure it out.
I think in the minds of most Americans, certainly our view of immigration is from Latin America to the United States. It's like starts with Mexican farm workers and then it's all about America. Okay, great. And then when we think of Europe, we think of refugees from the Syrian wars. You know, Muslims from the Levant. But African migration is like a lot of it from the most violent continent in the world.
What role does Mauritania play in the migration route to Europe?
And who's facilitating that? Do you know?
Yes. It's not an easy answer, so I can't just be like, well, it's just like this one group. It's this guy, yeah. Right. So it's many people. You know, I would say... you know, at the highest level, like if we're looking at this from an airplane, it really is the populations, the native populations of Europe not realizing that this is an existential threat. Because if they did... you know, they would be up in arms tomorrow. And these politicians, these are feckless people for the most part. These are not people that really give a damn. They're just trying to win the next election. They're less concerned about the present and more concerned about winning the next election, right?
