| 0:00.0 | This is the Friends Vista Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor, welcoming my colleague Michael |
| 0:04.7 | Jan. This is Michael Jan at Locals.com to support Michael's wanderings of the Earth these last years. |
| 0:12.0 | Right now he's wandered to the state of Texas. He's working very carefully to |
| 0:17.8 | explicate what he's learned in these last two years about borders and about the great migration |
| 0:24.3 | underway of the global south to the north temperate zone perhaps by climate perhaps by bad governance |
| 0:32.0 | perhaps by the trading routes perhaps by human traffickers all things can be included in why the |

| 1:54.5 | border I guess experts is the best way to put it they spend so much time down there and but let's |
| 1:59.8 | talk about what you were talking about before the famine and these other things that create human |
