| 0:00.0 | Very happy to have you here. One quick thing to tell you before we get started tonight, just a little business thing. Next Tuesday, a week from tomorrow, I'm going to be doing a thing at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. And I just found out there are still some tickets left, not a ton, but there are some. It's going to be me with Stephen J. Ross. He's a professor at USC. |
| 0:21.6 | If you listen to my podcast, Ultra, you remember Stephen J. Ross as one of the people who had |
| 0:27.6 | a kind of starring role in that podcast. |
| 0:29.6 | That's thanks to his incredible book, Hitler in Los Angeles, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer |
| 0:35.6 | Surprise. |

| 1:24.4 | Hundreds of people met up at the local middle school, and then they marched a mile |
| 1:29.2 | and a half to a warehouse facility, where the Trump administration is trying to put in a Trump |
| 1:34.8 | prison camp to hold thousands of people without trial. Local residents of Romulus, Michigan turned |
| 1:42.8 | out for that protest. |
| 1:47.3 | Lots of local officials did, too, and state officials. |
| 1:49.9 | The Democratic lieutenant governor of Michigan was there. |
| 1:53.2 | Democratic Congressman Sri Thanadar was there. |
