[SPEAKER_01]: Hey everyone, this is Leon from Prologue Projects.

[SPEAKER_01]: On this subscriber only episode of 5-4, Peter, Reannon, and Michael are talking about the Trump administration's drone strikes on boats in the Caribbean.

[SPEAKER_01]: Earlier this year, President Trump began posting video clips to social media of boats being blown up by U.S.

drones at the White House claimed were filled with Venezuela and drug traffickers.

[SPEAKER_01]: So far, the administration has provided no evidence.

[SPEAKER_01]: The hosts talk about what we actually know, the legal justifications or lack thereof, and how decades of executive power creep from the war on terror to Obama's drone program made this possible.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court and the rest of the government suck.

[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to five to four where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have ravaged our nation like illness is ravaging the host of this podcast.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Heeter.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm here with reanning.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, not me.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm perfect.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm healthy.

[SPEAKER_02]: And Michael, back from the dead, baby.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was a terrible week, but I'm feeling a little better.

[SPEAKER_02]: Peter, how are you?

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, last week, Michael, of course, was sick and this week, even worse, I'm sick.

[SPEAKER_03]: the protagonist of reality.

[SPEAKER_03]: Now, say, yeah, with a shitty little cold.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's worse for us to in terms of complaints, negativity, general vibes.

[SPEAKER_00]: It being sort of lured at over us how this person is feeling at every given second, you know?

[SPEAKER_00]: So I would agree.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's worse.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then when it comes down to the clutch, do I take the week off?

[SPEAKER_02]: or do I record fourth quarter blue game every time dude me I go like four days without like a meal because my stomach is so fucked and Peter yeah I don't want Michael recording from the toilet I'm just saying I could do it Peter meanwhile he wakes up with like a scratchy throat and it's like [SPEAKER_03]: I must I must hasten to urgent care for someone first of all this is the one time the one time that your ailment was like severe usually you're like guys The son is in the wrong part of the sky.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I could do it this week [SPEAKER_00]: the vibes are off around me I can't I can't make it guys as for me again stronger healthier more powerful than the both of you.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's correct, it's accurate.

[SPEAKER_00]: Only host to have recorded from another country recorded with COVID if you all recall.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah well that's because you despite being the healthiest host get COVID like five times a year.

[SPEAKER_03]: This fight, whatever, what a long-term damage COVID does, we're going to find out, you know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: I've had it three times for the record, told him.

[SPEAKER_03]: All right, this week we are talking about the drone strikes that the Trump administration has carried out against what it purports to be drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean.

[SPEAKER_03]: You've probably heard about this, or perhaps seen the night vision's stuff films, the administration has put online of boats being destroyed.

[SPEAKER_03]: And perhaps you've wondered, is this legal, you know, is this okay?

[SPEAKER_03]: What's going on here?

[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to talk about what's happening with these operations that legality of these operations and about the arguments that uphold drone strikes generally and how past presidents and the Supreme Court laid the groundwork for all of this.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I'll cover the background this time in a change of pace.

[SPEAKER_03]: Do you see whether I can do it?

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't remember why we agreed to this read, but I did.

[SPEAKER_00]: My prediction, pitchforks.
