| 0:00.0 | Welcome to The Lost Debata Show for Politically Ecclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta. And today I talk with the |
| 0:05.5 | Atlantics, Isaac Stanley Becker. And we're going to talk about Trump defying a Supreme Court order to |
| 0:11.9 | return a man from an El Salvadorian prison. We're going to talk about Trump's intimidation of law |
| 0:18.6 | firms and universities and institutions generally. |
| 0:22.2 | And so stick around for that. |
| 0:24.1 | But before we get there, one favor. |
| 0:26.2 | We are a nonprofit institution. |
| 0:28.5 | We don't run ads. |
| 0:29.8 | We don't bother you with any of that stuff. |
| 0:31.1 | A lot of other people do. |
| 0:32.1 | And we just provide a service for you. |
| 0:33.8 | And we try to bring you nuanced and objective news. |
| 0:36.0 | And we rarely ask you for any favors, |

You'd listen to that. A lot of you have over at the Killing Justice feed. But just go in there. It should take you 30 seconds to go in there. You only need to vote for one thing. You could use any of like your Gmail or whatever to sign in. And you could just vote for us. And right now we're third in the people's choice voting. And it's like a couple percentage points separating us from others. So if everybody who's listening to this |
| 1:27.6 | votes, we will absolutely go from third to first. And even if just half of you do, that will |
| 1:32.0 | probably happen. So pause this. Go to that link. You could do it even on your phone. Vote for |
| 1:37.1 | us and then unpause it. And we'll be back here for the pod. All right, and we're back. I'm going |
| 1:43.6 | to talk to Isaac Stanley Becker. and in this conversation, I refer to this meeting |
| 1:49.6 | between Trump and the El Salvadorian president in the Oval Office yesterday. |
| 1:55.4 | There is one piece of audio that I want to play ahead of this conversation with Isaac, because I want you to keep |
