Shows about 9% of the people in the country are concerned about this, but they want you to have the right, or they want your teachers and your schools to have a right, to change the gender of your children through gender mutilation and drugs, whether you like it or not.

If the new majority spends its political capital pushing for this evil nonsense, like men in women's locker rooms or taxpayer money for transgender surgeries and treatment it will create openings needed for the republicans to rebuild the radical democrats attempted to hide their wokeism for one political cycle but once they have power that facade will crack very very quickly In the meantime, in the last two years, I successfully advocated for pardons for the internet pioneer Ross Albrecht, President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, who I believe was framed for narco-trafficking he was not involved in, New York City Police Department hero Michael McMahon, Judge Michelle Fiore, who's Only crime was challenging the federal government during the Bundy scandal out in Nevada.

Now, Kate recently sat down with Henifer Avila-Reyes, a Honduran journalist and founding editor-in-chief of digital news outlet Contra Corriente, to talk about the controversial ZEDES, or Special Economic and Employment Zones, operating within Honduras, the potential for their expansion under new U.S.-backed President Nasri Esfura, following failed attempts by the previous government to shut them down, and the impacts that the zones are having on local communities and the Honduran sovereignty.

Now, these special economic and employment zones were established in Honduras in 2013 under then-President Juan Orlando Hernandez, and they're often referred to as micro-states for foreign interests.

ZS carve out zones within host countries that allow transnational companies operating within them to create separate commercial and tax regimes, as well as administrative, judicial and regulatory systems.

So if anybody is thinking of Prospera, that is indeed one of these special economic and employment zones in Honduras.

And I'd add one more thing, which is trying to be consistent in our policies.
Will FreemanGUEST
36:23
And there have been some glaring inconsistencies in the Trump so-called sort of war on drugs 2.0. One, pardoning Honduras' ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was serving a cocaine trafficking sentence.
Will FreemanGUEST
36:36
Pretty glaringly inconsistent.
Will FreemanGUEST
36:37
And second, this sort of bear hug Donald Trump has given to Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela, who's been under DEA investigation for a number of years and whose government is very much bound up with drug trafficking and other organized crime.
Ryan GrimGUEST
34:06
He's like a giant narco trafficker.
Ryan GrimGUEST
34:09
And he pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez.
Ryan GrimGUEST
34:13
Wow.

there is a very long history of the US government supporting these criminals drug traffickers gang leaders from Latin America when they serve the interests of the US government and big US corporations for instance Last year, the Trump administration blatantly meddled in the presidential election in Honduras, and the US put in power a corrupt right-wing party closely linked to drug cartels.
Ben NortonHOST
19:30
In fact, during the presidential campaign, Trump personally pardoned and released from prison the most notorious drug trafficker alive today named Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is the right wing former dictator of Honduras.
Ben NortonHOST
19:47
He governed with an iron fist with the support of the U.S. government.
Ben NortonHOST
19:51
He was later imprisoned because he trafficked many tons of cocaine and machine guns.
Ben NortonHOST
19:57
And Trump released him so he could put the ally of this drug trafficker in power as a U.S. puppet in Honduras.
Ben NortonHOST
20:05
And by the way, to be fair, I should point out that it was not just Donald Trump who supported this right-wing drug trafficking dictator in Honduras.
Ben NortonHOST
20:14
Juan Orlando Hernandez also had the support of the U.S. government under the Barack Obama administration.
Ben NortonHOST
20:21

En, en-- yo creo que había cierto apoyo en las Américas por esa política de ir contra los carteles.
Ricardo ZúñigaGUEST
28:19
Pero el indulto a Juan Orlando Hernández dejó a bastantes de esos grupos que apoyaban a esa idea completamente con, con una con-- causó una confusión tremenda.
María Jimena DuzánHOST
28:31
Sí.
Ricardo ZúñigaGUEST
28:32
Y tanto entre los-- la gente que apoyaba al presidente Trump como los que se oponían al presidente, pero dejó muy claro que no era una política.

This comes after Congress passed a law in 2015 requiring more funds for education, which Millet then vetoed, which then returned to Congress, which forced through the passage of the law, only for Millet to now illegally refuse to release the funds.
Sophie SchollHOST

Millay is one of Trump's strongest allies in Latin America and has even been implicated in an alleged ongoing plot to help fix the 2030 presidential elections in nearby Honduras in favor of another Trump ally and convicted drug lord, Juan Orlando Hernandez.
Sophie SchollHOST
6:08
Millay's police got violent, as expected, and arrested dozens.
