Summary

Join Jim and Greg as the welcome an actual good martini in addition to their evaluation of ever-worsening conditions in Afghanistan. First, they cheer the U.S. Supreme Court for ruling that the Biden administration must reinstate the "remain in Mexico" policy which requires asylum seekers to stay outside the U.S. while their claims are investigated. They also document a long list of mainstream media reports chronicling just how bad conditions are getting for people desperately trying to get to the Kabul airport and how the Biden administration's narrative doesn't match reality at all. And they're getting suspicious that the Biden administration's vow to evacuate every American who wants to get out may be setting up an ugly talking point after August 31st.

0:30.2	So let's dive right in.
0:32.0	The US Supreme Court has issued an order effectively forcing the Biden administration to restore
0:37.7	the Trump administration's remain in Mexico policy, which requires many asylum seekers
0:43.7	to wait in Mexico while they await hearings on their request for safe haven in the United
0:48.8	States.
0:49.6	The high court's order issued on Tuesday evening over the descent of the court's three

1:06.0	The ruling is a victory for the States of Texas and Missouri, which sued over the repeal

1:15.2	So Jim, I'm a bit surprised that it happened this quickly that they actually decided to
