Welcome to the Origins Podcast and the Origins Project Foundation.

I'm your host here, Lawrence Krause, and I want to introduce what may be a new continuing

series, which is really goes back to one of our first guests and one of our most popular

podcasts with none other than Noam Chomsky.

I asked Noam if we could periodically update our discussion by talking about current events.

So here you go, current events with Noam Chomsky.

Apparently, a situation at the border where for the last month, the number of refugees the the the uh at the border

in in recent times um they the bush the biden administration was was originally said we're not

going to take any more refugees than the trump administration did and then and then there was pushback

that's that that's the concern at one end. At the other end,

maybe there's movement towards the dreamers and maybe taking care of children. But what's

your assessment of where this is heading? Well, first of all, we should remember that the Republican

leadership is publicly salivating with glee.

And the more people storm the border, the better it is.

We can frighten Americans with the great replacement.

They're coming here to kill all the white people. We've got to have lots of guns and assault rifles and defenders. So they love it. And if the Democrats make any minimally humane move, the whole Republican establishment establishment, all over them.

You're communists, you want to kill the Americans,

and we can come back to office.

Okay, we know that's going to happen.

They're saying it.

So the question is, what should be done?

Well, what should be done is, first of all, eliminate this over, get rid of the structure that's been imposed since Clinton actually got much worse under Trump.
