And good morning.
I'm Brian Noody at two hours for us, and then the week is over.
That's right.
And I apologize in advance to everybody who heard that and went, shut up, because our day is just starting.
it.
Listen, this Jamie, we get to start the show with two words that I didn't think we'd say for another at least three years.
Crisis averted.
it is hard to grasp on but you got to grasp on the president and Senate Democrats have reached an agreement there will be at this point no government shut down tomorrow morning They reached that agreement less than 30 hours before a federal funding was set to expire You know it had it all hinged on DHS and ice it all hinged on funding and the Democrats were not going to fund
and the Republicans didn't want to remove the DHS funding from the bill, and it was on and on, but Jamie, somehow they got together, and they had to reach a compromise, I'm guessing.
jump
just say, do we sense a pattern here with the administration
two weeks?
Yes, always.
So Democrats push to split DHS from this bigger spending bill and they cited the growing concerns over immigration enforcement and of course the need for immediate oversight and reforms, which we know has been on their
plate over the last couple of weeks since the second shooting in Minneapolis of Alex Pretty.
Now, Trump called this deal bipartisan and urged quick approval.
Senate Republicans are checking for objections since fast passage would require unanimous consent.
So a brief shutdown is still possible.
because the house has to approve any changes, but lawmakers aren't scheduled to return until Monday.
So
might be something just over the weekend because that's going to complicate a whole lot of stuff for Mike Johnson, of course, Speaker of the House.
He has a razor thin majority.
In the house right now because of deaths because of people stepping down And there's also some resistance from the conservatives and there's also some uncertainty about Democratic support for even a short DHS extension
The broader funding package would keep most of the federal agencies running, including defense, education, health, and human services, transportation, treasury, state labor, and also HUD.
Without funding, non-essential services would shut down, and a lot of federal workers could be forced to work without pay.
Now,
but this, this seems like there should be, I know they have to get 100% backing in the Senate.
This this part seems like a no-brainer because we already have Republicans in the Senate who are calling for ICE to be revamped right and looked at and so I don't think there's going to be This seems like everybody gets what they want
the Republicans get to get to fund ICE and DHS for another couple weeks
remember they already have money from the big beautiful bill So they're all right Democrats get that
A date on paper that says the funding for DHS stops on this date, right?
And then we have to in the interim we must be working on oversight and regulation and changes and all of that so this This part of the bill should not be up for debate.
It should be pretty easy and especially if
if all the senators and Congress people have to do is turn on their TV and see where people stand
this issue.
And I think getting this through the Senate is going to be a much easier sell than probably the House because a lot of the freedom caucus in the House of Representatives is, they have problems with this bill.
They don't think that DHS, there's anything wrong, they think everything is wonderful.
And so I think Mike Johnson is going to have a harder time
it through the House of Representatives that is going to be, that they're going to have in the Senate at this point.
The only reason I disagree with that is because the president has already come out and said this was bipartisan.
Sure.
And if you as a Republican congressman or woman vote against this, you are going against what he directly said and we know that that doesn't fly.
And Mike Johnson is not going to put up with that because then
it takes away the bullet of the last shutdown where it was the Democrats' fault, the Democrats' fault, the Democrats' fault.
Well, you already said it was bipartisan and you had your folks in line and...
They're not listening to you?
That's not the Democrats' fault.
He actually said something contrary to the president when asked about Christie Nome.
You know, the president has been very supportive of her job as secretary of DHS.
Mike Johnson basically
said, no, I think there needs to be more questions asked.
And she probably needs to appear in front of the house.
So I thought that was an interesting departure for Mike Johnson.
We don't see him not agree with the president very often.
Maybe
he was feeling good because he was scurrying from getting his spine reattached.
Sometimes those things will help, right?
Yes, of course.
So when it comes to the funding of the government right now, immigration enforcement is going to likely continue regardless due to separate funding streams approved last year.
We've talked about this, right?
DHS had millions of dollars given to it through the big beautiful bill.
Right now,
Well, the funding in the bill totals about $64 billion, including roughly $10 billion for ICE.
And again, those are billion with a B. It includes modest restrictions, such as fewer detention beds, reduced enforcement funding, and money for body cameras.
But it stops short of changes Democrats want, including limits on shootings, mask use, and also detaining U.S.
citizens.
Now, the shooting of Alex Pretty in Minneapolis shifted the political landscape, especially.
going into this particular budget battle, because several Democrats who previously supported the bill are now saying that they aren't going to back it without any changes.
Democrats are calling for tighter rules on immigration agents, also including warrant requirements, coordination with local law enforcement, mandatory body cameras, and independent investigations.
And you mentioned a little bit about the public opinion.
It appears to be moving as well and shifting pretty dramatically and very quickly because several recent polls, I know a lot of people take polls with a grain of salt, but they're starting to show skepticism of ice.
Majorities now say that the agency is too aggressive, has gone too far and even inspires very little confidence.
So I think this is going to be interesting as it moves through.
We have not averted a full shutdown yet.
Hopefully though, it is a weekend shutdown.
which makes it more palatable for the American people who are actually affected by jobs and some of these programs that would lose funding.
It just doesn't, and I tend to look at things from a common sense standpoint, where I don't, the machinations of the law and the government sometimes are contrary to common sense.
And based on the overriding sentiment in this country, and based on what we're seeing now,
within the Republican Party of a break and a fracture because of support and regarding the sport for ICE.
I don't understand why it wouldn't just be beneficial to everybody to pull that ICE funding out and deal with that separately.
And let's get the other stuff done.
If we pull out the DHS funding for the next two weeks, then there's no shutdown because then they can vote and get the other bill.
through and
fine.
Monday, the house is back in session.
We can start working on this.
We know what each side is looking for with this DHS funding.
Let's just work on that.
But they want to make everything has to be combined because you got to just roll things
hoping that stuff doesn't get noticed.
And that's always been the way with political budgets.
Just put the pork in there and let's roll.
Yeah.
And people are people are tired of that.
Wait a minute.
Are you throwing around the label of disingenuous to
Yes.
I will not sit here and listen to that.
I'm going to stand up and listen
So I have to wonder, is the bipartisan negotiation a ploy?
Because this administration cannot take a public hit.
They do not want another shutdown on their conscience, right?
And we're in an election year.
We know how most of America felt about the last shutdown.
And so you've got to also wonder, are they going to actually come back to the table and negotiate in good faith?
They said they would with the ACA subsidies.
That did not happen.
So that's where my pause is, is that
will they actually negotiate in good faith?
And if I was a betting woman, right, and I
I'm going to hold on to my wagering philosophy that I would bet that now that Trump has gone out on the limb
and said, we've got it.
We've got a deal that
bipartisan and stuff.
They will, the Congress will negotiate in good faith.
I don't know what what the president would do, but I think the Congress will be forced to carry out his his orders.
And if he wants this solved, it's going to get solved.
And he's looking at
He's looking at public opinion.
He's looking at, you know, the fracturing of his own party and he wants to stay in power.
So if the if the Georgia ballot grab doesn't work, he, you know, he's got to do something and maybe, maybe if, oh, I'll ingratiate myself.
The problem is, let's be honest, nobody's going to forget what happened in Minneapolis come November.
It doesn't matter if now that everybody can be singing Kumbaya for the next seven, eight months.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, we're not going to forget what happened.
Obviously, we haven't been able to trust what they've said multiple times.
How often has the president come out and said one thing, and then we see Mike Johnson in a press scrum scurrying again through the chambers.
Every
time you say scurry, I can only think of one animal
said.
video.
All deep fakes.
So for
now, for now, the next few days are going to basically determine whether this fragile agreement holds, whether Washington can avoid another shutdown with this volatile debate on over immigration enforcement accountability.
And I guess we just breathlessly watch and see what happens.
We don't really have another choice at this point, huh?
No, and I will be breathless.
I'll be clutching my pearls and banning myself because I feel a vapor coming on.
How many times have I said that with more colorful language?
Hey, when we come back, we're going to be joined by Civic Media News Director, Shelley Pittman, Representative Mark Pokan.
You met with Vosas de la Frontera yesterday.
Let's talk a little bit about immigration, and they had a message for ICE.
We'll get to that.
And I'm Brian Noonan.
Good morning.

All of this to say we are glad that you're here and happy Friday.
My name is Jamie Martenson.
And I'm Brian Noona.
Good morning.
Thanks for being here.
Yesterday, Wisconsin Congressman Mark Pocant joined members of the immigrant rights group, Vosas de la Frontera, to discuss...
Federal immigration enforcement.
I don't know why it's that in the news.
Yes.
Stop we we must all that he was joined by Executive Director Christine Newman Ortiz of Vosus De La Frontera and They had a nice press conference and our own civic media news director Shelly Pittman was there.
She covered it and she joins us now to give us an update Shelly.
Thanks for getting up early.
We appreciate
You got your morning voice on that's terrific What was
What was the overall theme of yesterday's press conference?
Yeah, well, in a time when, on a day when immigration is again making headlines, Congressman Pocan was in Madison to denounce ICE and also talk about the importance in his view of preparing for immigration enforcement and calling on essentially mutual aid along with Christine Neumann Ortiz, head of Vosis de la Frontera, and Reverend Dr. Julia Burkey, who's a senior pastor.
at Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ, which is where about 70 volunteers met in addition to media at a press conference there.
You know, obviously that came before...
a day where there have been calls for a national strike today over ICE and an immigration surge in Minneapolis.
It comes ahead of a big vote on Capitol Hill over immigration enforcement, a potential shutdown.
I know you guys have been on that.
And it comes ahead of other immigration news, even
tomorrow, right?
There are unity rides all across the nation in honor of Alex Pretty, who was shot and killed a week ago by a CPB agent.
It comes ahead of a federal judge in Minneapolis, being summoning Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, to appear in his courtroom.
That's scheduled to happen today.
We don't know what's going to happen there, right?
So let's talk a little bit about what Congressman Pocan had to say about the shutdown, because in our last segment, Brian and I talked about the fact that the president and the Democrats have a bipartisan agreement.
At this point, it still needs to go through the proper protocols in the chambers and get the right vote.
But what did the congressman have to say about the potential shutdown?
I am in Madison today and things tend to change by the hour in considering what will happen on Capitol Hill, but that there would probably be a short-term continuing resolution agreed to by Democrats and some Republicans and that the other resolutions would also pass.
Part of what they were talking about yesterday Shelly was and we're joined by Shelly Pittman.
She is the civic media news director Covering this press conference yesterday Christine new minorities talked a lot about how people should get ready what they what they needed to do and they're there Put some a new 800 number out for people.
What is that all about?
So both is de la frontera has been running a hotline number for
a good while, I think, even before President Trump was elected in order to report suspected immigration activity, right?
And there's been a lot of misinformation.
There's been a lot of misinformation that happened in Madison recently.
You know, I see it on the Reddit posts for Madison and Wisconsin, right?
Where someone sees, you know, a sheriff's training and they assume that, you know, you see
um police officers and you think maybe that's here and it's not to dismiss the fact that ICE has been in in wisconsin in some isolated incidents right um but maybe not to the extent um that they've been in minneapolis but vosis de la frontera absolutely has a hotline where we can report it they have a community defense network they call it and so they will send um
they will send verifiers out to verify every instance of information.
And so Christine Neumann Ortiz said, we've really been encouraging folks, especially this week, to not post anything about ICE unless they're confirmed.
We go out and do that.
And she talked about the most recent misinformation.
Let's hear her talk about the hotline in that report.
The most recent example was that a rumor, and we think it was actually core, you know, it was intentional.
It appeared to be organized call that was spreading the rumor that ICE had booked hotels in different, you know, rooms in different hotels across the state.
And we do take every call seriously, but we were very quick to
verify that that was false in each of the cities where that surged.
And the problem is, is that when people see that posted online and even though their intention is good to try to warn people about this or raise awareness, the best thing they can do is to call that 1-800 number.
And I'm Brian Noonan.
Thanks, Shaly.
We'll be back on the Civic Media Radio Network.
And I'm Brian Noonan and in just a second, we're going to talk to you about your rights if you are approached by ICE.
But there's some news coming out of Washington that we wanted to just touch on really quick.
If you're paying attention, you know Jerome Powell, the head of the Fed, has been in the president's crosshairs for a while, so much so that there's a criminal investigation into Jerome Powell.
And yesterday, the president did not like Powell's statements that, hey, yeah, there's still inflation.
Praise their still going up.
So he went on a truth social rant as he has wanted to do and now today He's already looking for Jerome Paul's replay remembering that the president in fact Nominated Jerome Paul
He chose Powell to lead the Fed in 2017 But this morning he nominated former Federal Reserve official Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Fed
He will replace Jerome Powell when the term expires in May.
Now, he went to Truth Social to say, I can't even say the word this morning.
Thank you.
The tongue was not matching with the brain on Friday and all
that.
The usual adjectorial blizzard
uses when he writes.
I have known Kevin for a long period of time and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the great in all capitals.
Fed Chairman may be the best out on top of every...
everything else, he's a central casting and he will never let you down.
That was what he said on Truth Social just this morning.
No, I have no idea what the last part is either.
I tried to parse through it.
Being right
out of central casting means he's like a stereotype.
That's usually what, when we use that terminology,
Right, right.
Who knows?
What do I know?
No, the appointment will require Senate confirmation.
And he returned, he was a member of the Fed board from about 2006.
to 2011.
He was actually the youngest governor in history when he was appointed at the age of 35.
Now, he's a little bit of an unlikely choice for President Trump, mostly because he's been a hawk on some of the rate increases.
He typically supports higher interest rates to control inflation.
And we know that the president...
Right, would like to see lower
he got a name of somebody and went with it and then now it's...
to know now he's really oh maybe this is not this is not the guy but we'll keep an eye on that as
what's happening and I'm sure Jerome Powell has a big calendar on his wall where he just puts a red X's through the days and he's counting down till May he's like I am so out of here I cannot believe it but let's talk about let's talk about this because with there's been we've heard the unsustainated rumors all of that but there is it there is a chance that ice will come to Matt
center Milwaukee.
They've already had raids in the northern part of the state which has affected agriculture because farm workers are being taken or farm workers are just afraid to come to work.
So there's a good chance that
Things hopefully they never get as bad as Minneapolis, right?
It could happen here So what do you do if you are confronted with ice and I know you're thinking well Brian?
I'm you know, I'm a white guy.
I'm not getting a confronted by ice All right, maybe live in that fantasy if you want, but Jamie we've got we want it We like to tell people how to arm themselves with facts
that's what we're that's we want to do because there's
There's everybody thinks they're a lawyer because they watch two seasons of law and order That doesn't unfortunately if that was true, I'd be like the top litigating
me too.
It'd be fantastic I'd be raking it in But that's not always the
Let's give let's give people some of their rights
Yeah, no, it is not always the case and is since the president expanded this immigration crackdown in Wisconsin ice arrest doubled during the first six months of this current presidency at least
according to a July 2025 analysis by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The largest increase, as you mentioned, involved immigrants without criminal convictions, a trend that has drawn concern for a lot of civil rights and immigrant advocacy groups.
Now, federal immigration agents, including ICE and Border Patrol, are allowed to stop people in public places.
However,
Everyone in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, has constitutional rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to refuse consent to searches.
Okay, these these are our constitutional rights.
So keep this in mind.
Immigration agents can arrest someone in a public place without a warrant if they believe the person is in the country illegally and may flee before a warrant can be obtained.
This is why you hear so many people right now saying that they are carrying their documentation with them because that would prove that they are here legally if they are stopped by immigration.
Show
me your
Exactly.
Now to enter a private
home and we actually talked about this on this program earlier this week right to enter a private home or a non-public area of a business agents must have a warrant signed by a judge
Legal experts note that administrative ICE warrants do not carry the same authority as judicial warrants.
So people are not required to open their doors to immigration agents unless a judicial warrant is presented.
Individuals can ask to see the warrant and they still have the right to remain silent even if an agent enters the home.
So ICE may temporarily detain individuals to verify immigration status while ICE has no legal authority to detain or deport US citizens.
Reporting shows that more than 170 citizens were mistakenly detained during recent enforcement actions.
Detainees have the right to contact a lawyer, receive legal visits and request a bond hearing before an immigration judge.
That's
that's man, oh man, those are the last couple things you said
the tipping point for all of these problems.
We can randomly stop and check your immigration status.
Who's getting stopped?
This, you know, hey, you're brown.
We're gonna we're gonna see it doesn't matter if you're Native American, Hispanic, Asian, Somali, you don't look you don't look like me and so I've got a I've got to check you and then how many stories have come out about people being held illegally for hours or days or weeks without any access to an attorney and if we've learned anything from television and mostly it's that fat guys get really hot wives but other than that
What have we learned?
We have learned always.
always ask for a lawyer.
Every interrogation scene that Debbie and I watch where the guy starts talking is, no, lawyer, lawyer, lawyer.
present.
Oh, they salivate those
to record the actions of federal agents.
So they really had no idea why they were there.
So this is going beyond also just immigration status.
This is going to the point of interfering on people's other constitutional rights and detaining people without any sort of representation.
Agents can ask for identification, but individuals generally don't have to answer questions or provide any sort of documentation when detained by ICE.
And in Wisconsin, drivers have to show a valid driver's license during a traffic stop.
Passengers are not required to provide identification, which is
very important if you get stopped while in a vehicle.
Ice agents may ask drivers to exit their vehicles for officer safety, but they can't search vehicles or your belongings without consent or a judicial warrant.
In other words, they have to have a reason to do so.
And they can
ask you to step out.
And if you step out, you can't say, no, I don't consent to you.
you can't look in my car.
No, you can't search me.
And I mean, if you're driving.
You have to have your driver's license on you anyway.
That has nothing to do with ice.
That's just a law.
You got to have that.
But remember, that's a good point.
I would assume, you know, if I'm a passenger, my buddy's driver, when he gets stopped and they ask me for my ID too, I'd probably...
think, oh, I have to give them
as well.
But
No, you do not have to.
Now, the First Amendment actually protects the public's right to observe and record law enforcement, as we were just saying, but that is that's very important right now to keep in mind.
given the current state of affairs in this country, including the federal immigration agents in public spaces, especially as long as observers do not interfere with the enforcement actions.
So the case of Minneapolis witnesses, they were across the street, they were recording and they were still detained in many cases by ICE agents because of the fact that they were just recording the incident.
People also have the right to protest peacefully, although authorities may impose reasonable
place and manner restrictions.
So if you're out there protesting peacefully, that is your right to do so.
But in order to continue to protest peacefully, if law enforcement tells you to move back or to get out of a certain area, keep the protest going.
I'm not saying that not to do that, but we want people to be able to have this right in this country.
So at least listen to what law enforcement is telling you in these cases.
Don't play
into anybody's hands.
Do it the right way.
Get out there, make noise, march, hold your signs.
I loved the last march I was at.
A lot of people in inflatable costumes, I don't know why, but they all wanted to dress like dinosaurs.
I was like, that's cool, okay.
did.
I loved it.
There was an inflatable baby Trump walking around.
I laughed and laughed.
That's fantastic.
Yeah.
No, if, listen, if you're gonna wear, if you're gonna get dressed up, it's, it's more exciting than just going in regular clothes.
That was, you
Just another run-of-the-mill protest.
sometimes... Yeah, but you're talking about the municipal police
ICE... No.
stop myself because I was going to label those officers something.
Frank doesn't want
it.
So civil rights groups encourage people to know their rights and really create safety plans in advance.
If you're going to be out somewhere, if you are on a sidewalk and you see something happen around you, make sure you know again what your rights are and that you have options, especially as immigration enforcement active.
increases across the region.
And if I may make a suggestion, because how many of us carry the number of an attorney with us?
Not many.
And
if you're going to a protest and you know you're the kind of person who will be videotaping, you're going to be more vocal maybe than your neighbor, just have a number.
Just in case because you never know.
You don't want to, if you are detained and you do get a chance to contact an attorney, you don't want to be going, I don't know what an attorney is.
Right.
It's just like we'd bring a water bottle or something else to a protest.
Yeah.
To drink, not to throw.
Lawyer.
say lawyer?
Lawyer.
anything they ask you what's your name lawyer
whether or not they will is it legally they have to which is why this administration also ends up being in courtrooms later down the road because they don't allow that sort of representation to enter the facilities or give people their their constitutional rights
And I get it's hard because we're dealing with a whole different, different realm of people and thinking than we've ever dealt.
But know your rights, stay safe out there, no matter what you're doing.
It's 648 right now.
You are listening to Civic Media Mornings.
My name is Jamie Martenson.
And I'm Brian Noonanow.
When we come back, something that is 100% Wisconsin, it's time for Alice in Dairyland on the Civic Media Radio Network.
You're listening to Civic Media.
Find the latest news, information, and archives of all your favorite shows on the Civic Media website, civicmedia.us.
And I'm Brian Noonan, and just before the break, we were talking about your rights if you were approached by ICE, and Steve texted in, and you can too, 855-752-484-2855-75 Civic.
That is how you call, that is how you text.
Steve had a question.
He said, can ICE confiscate your phone if you were filming them?
I would worry that they would destroy our phone.
And Jamie, who loves research, has the answer.
So what is the
ICE agents legally cannot confiscate your phone or delete your recordings without a warrant, even while you are filming them in public, especially if you are in the state of Wisconsin.
Now, there have been situations that have been reported where they have tried to take people's phones or they have destroyed them on the sidewalk legally, though, again, they cannot do that.
You are protected under the First Amendment.
Recording police and federal agents in public is legal as long as you do not
physically interfere with their actions.
Now, again, they also
They've been known to do this a few different times.
We've actually seen the footage.
Agents can also not force you to delete your footage, take your phone without your consent or without a warrant unless you're arrested or force you to provide a passcode.
So make sure that maybe your phones have strong passcodes on them instead of the biometrics with the fingerprint face ID, all of that.
But use a strong passcode and they legally.
Legally, according to the First Amendment, cannot do these things.
Alisha also chiming in on the conversation over on our social media pages saying that protesters are being told to write the number for the ACLU and keep it on them as well, which is also a good option.
So thank you for the comments and the questions here this morning.
While the world burns, Jamie, we
turn our attention.
We have to
thing.
I love it, though.
We had to explain it to Frank yesterday because he had no idea.
I am familiar with this because I have talked to old ladies who held this title.
But what are we talking about?
Well, the search for the 79th annual Alice in Dairyland has begun.
That's right.
If you don't know about Alice in Dairyland,
you're missing out.
This is a woman who will go through a long process, which we'll describe, and she will then represent the agricultural interests of Wisconsin for an entire year.
current Alice in Dairyland's reign, I almost said reign of terror, it is
terror.
Whoa, I didn't know Alice in Dairyland was menacing.
Listen, Alice, Alice carries out cheese related vengeance across the state.
No, that is not true.
But anytime I say rain, I always just automatically tag of terror on it.
Right.
She's Alice in Dairyland until May.
So now we've got to find a new Alice in Dairyland before May.
And what's fun I think about this, Jamie, is the contest, the finals move from county to county
year.
So you never know where things are
Right, right.
And applications are actually open.
You have to get your applications in by the end of today.
And you have to submit a resume, a cover letter, references, and an application to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection.
We are not messing around here with our Alice in Dairy land.
And then those materials are reviewed to determine which candidates will move forward.
To qualify for an initial interview, Brian.
Yeah, this is not, as TLC once said,
Don't want no scrubs.
To even qualify, applicants need to have a strong background in Wisconsin agriculture, along with at least three years of experience or training in communications, marketing, education, or public relations.
Public speaking experience and hands-on work with media or marketing campaigns are also required.
These women are always gifted, they're talented,
Those finalists are officially announced in March of this year following training and professional development seminars, which are then hosted by the DA's TCP.
During that time, candidates also complete assignments so that they can prepare for the final round.
We are not messing around with our agriculture
here.
This is not a beauty pageant.
No.
I would have imagined, you know.
But listen, now we've got, here's what we've learned over the years.
And we haven't learned much when it comes to women.
There's still, you know, women are still, we got to take care of you with your health decisions stuff.
But what we have learned is that women can be not only beautiful, but they can also be accomplished.
It's threatening to a lot of men when they are accomplished, but you can still do it, ladies.
So, good for you.
that facetiously, please,
For the most part.
area.
Yes, it is in Wausau.
through television and radio interviews, speeches, their writing samples, public interactions and demonstrations of their agricultural knowledge.
And of course, as Wisconsinites, we are invited to attend two of these evening events during the final round, including the announcement of the next Alice in Dairyland, who then represents Wisconsin agriculture across the state and beyond for an entire year.
These women really do truly work endlessly, promoting agriculture at
different venues all across the state for an entire year.

any of them have been lactose intolerant?
