0:07.0 | All I want to It's a joke. And in just a little bit, and in just a little bit, Felix and I will be talking to Joe Wisenthal, with the Odd Lots podcast about tariffs, the markets, the economy, what you tune into this show to listen to. But I can't start today's show and I can't really like complete today's show without talking about the I don't know the rendition the kidnapping of a Palestinian activist Mahmood Khalil that |
1:01.8 | took place this weekend over in New York City he's a Columbia grad student a Columbia grad student |
1:07.9 | graduate who has been basically kidnapped by ICE out of his |
1:12.8 | house in New York City, leaving his wife eight months pregnant at home and been rendered to an ICE |
1:18.0 | facility in Louisiana in what is obviously an attempt to separate him from legal counsel. |
