Trump, Protests, and an Empire in Decline

*Note - this podcast was recorded before Israel’s attack on IranThis week Seena and Travis walk through the timeline of Trump’s decision to send the National Guard, and later the Marines, to Los Angeles, in response to localized protests against his immigration policies, a decision that knocks the US another step down the empire in decline ladder. Always a fun moment. They also discuss recent developments in Trump's Qatari plane fiasco, Israel’s decision to deport Greta Thunberg, and the implementation of Trump’s new travel ban. They close the show with a recent report that the TSA is developing VR technology that will allow it to virtually “feel” passengers being screened at airports, which is definitely not creepy at all.Articles Referenced:https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/us/video/nine-news-australian-reporter-la-hit-rubber-bullet-contd-digvidhttps://youtu.be/jq5vNlreDrg?si=Ug0II3Vq1B0-zYXk&t=115https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xguam0TKMw8https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/05/28/trump-qatar-air-force-one/https://apnews.com/article/thunberg-deported-mideast-gaza-israel-7d6868f213dfcf78969f8e3d982788c6https://apnews.com/article/gaza-famine-war-israel-1360c6d16902c163234b0eb1e96e694bhttps://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5340832-trump-mocks-greta-thunberg-gaza-aid/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/us/politics/trump-travel-ban.html?campaign_id=56&emc=edit_cn_20250609&instance_id=156204&nl=on-politics®i_id=61617578&segment_id=199610&user_id=938bf81e2a681e73b55de1f8ba3e8d23https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/04/us/politics/trump-travel-ban-map.html?campaign_id=56&emc=edit_cn_20250609&instance_id=156204&nl=on-politics®i_id=61617578&segment_id=199610&user_id=938bf81e2a681e73b55de1f8ba3e8d23https://www.404media.co/tsa-working-on-haptic-tech-to-feel-your-body-in-virtual-reality/ Follow The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheForeignReportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
