• 39: The No Fly List Is A Nightmare

  (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) The FBI threatens to put innocent people on the No Fly List unless they agree to become unpaid FBI informants spying on their (also innocent) communities. Why? Because the FBI pretty much guarantees that random, erroneous, overinclusive, islamophobic nominations to the No Fly List will be approved, and since the process is cloaked in secrecy, there wasn't a clear way to stop them. Until now. Fikre v. FBI (2013) and Tanzin v. Tanvir (2020) are only two of many cases challenging the No Fly List’s erroneous overinclusion and the FBI’s islamophobia.

• 37: Martial Law in Hawaii

  (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) At 10:27PM on December 3, 2024, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol went live on television while his country was sleeping to declare martial law. His country fought back. After all was said and done, Yoon's martial law proclamation lasted only 6 and a half hours. Hawaii's lasted three years. Internment camps, forced labor, military tribunals, and a pause on all constitutional and due process liberties. Curfews, blackouts, barbed wire covering the beaches. Death penalties and forced blood donations. Thousands of Japanese residents were rounded up and put behind barbed wire, while every Hawaiian was forced to live under total, merciless military control. "It's too expensive to ship them somewhere," U.S. Secretary of Navy Frank Knox remarked. "Just make the islands an internment camp." This is Duncan v. Kahanamoku (1946). *** Follow @RebuttalPod on Instagram and Twitter!

• 36: Your House Is A SWAT Team's Rage Room

  (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Out of nowhere, your front door explodes. You see a man with a gun run through your door and up the stairs, firing shots at the police chasing after him. Luckily, you run for cover before a SWAT team begins their "protocol" to flush him out - explosives, toxic gasses, grenades, BearCat armored tanks, robots, and chemical weapons hit every inch of your home. Eventually, the situation is secure. The neighborhood is safe. Police followed "all necessary protocol." Your house? Destroyed. Your personal belongings? Melted by explosives. Your cat? Blind and deaf from the events. And you? Hopefully financially stable. Because neither insurance nor the courts will help you. In fact, a judge says that the City police department doesn’t owe you a dime. This is Baker v. City of McKinney (2020) (cert. denied 2024). Follow @RebuttalPod on Instagram and Twitter!
