We're running this interview again at the request of a Gaslit Nation listener who would like to share this interview and film with their Congressional representative, to demand an end to the "silent genocide" deliberately engineered on the U.S. southern border. We strongly urge you to talk to your representatives wherever you live to help build a culture of change.
An all new episode of Gaslit Nation will be out this evening, as usual. Thank you to everyone in our community of listeners who work to build a better world and sustainable future for everyone.

| 0:00.0 | And that brings us to the special guests we have on this show. Please watch this film. We're about to, we're about to, speaking of art, it's a beautifully done film on an urgent human rights crisis in America, the immigration crisis, which holds up a mirror, the ruling establishment of both parties, Republicans and Democrats. So please welcome to this show, |
| 0:22.0 | Lisa Malamont and Jeff Bemis, co-directors, producers of the Peabody Award-winning documentary, |
| 0:29.4 | Missing and Brooks County. Look for a link in the show notes on how to watch this must-see film. |
| 0:34.6 | It explains so much about the power structures driving not just our |
| 0:39.0 | domestic policy, but also our foreign policy. Entrenched U.S. border policy is deliberately engineered |
| 0:45.8 | to be cruel. This interview provides solutions and ways for us to confront that for the sake of |
| 0:52.4 | everybody. How can we all trust a government that has no |
| 0:55.5 | problem dehumanizing others, whether they're U.S. citizens or not? We can't, right? So it's the |
| 1:01.0 | refugees fleeing across the border today. It's the Palestinians trapped in Gaza today. It will be |
| 1:07.0 | us if we don't stop this, especially in the age of AI where the billionaires think |
| 1:12.1 | they're going to hide from us in their bunkers because they're delusional, we're up against mass |
| 1:15.9 | murdering delusional oligarchs, okay, that have no problem with normalizing mass death and |
| 1:21.5 | allowing their buddies that they're ideologically aligned with like Putin and Netanyahu to get |
| 1:26.5 | away with mass murder to |
| 1:27.5 | normalize mass murder. So it's very, very, very, very important for us to say, no, we refuse to |
| 1:33.0 | normalize this. We refuse to accept this. We are going to join together, stay together to imagine |
| 1:38.7 | that a different future is possible. So please listen to this interview and watch the film after |
| 1:43.5 | and join me at the |
| 1:45.1 | workshop I'll be posting next week. It's a podcast that you can download, listen at your own time, |
| 1:50.3 | take notes. I'll have some prompts included in this. And that'll be my thank you gift and to |
| 1:56.8 | share my gratitude with our Patreon community that allows our team to stay together and keep |
| 2:01.7 | making this show and fight for a sustainable, livable future for us and the generations ahead. |
