8-28-25 - 8am - Chicago Numbers and The Latest on KAG

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Michael, something else happened many many years ago that
is related to the topic of excessive drug use in
our kids. We started seeing teachers and other school officials
recommending to parents that they put their sons and daughters
on amphetamines for attention deficit syndrome and also all of

(00:23):
those innidepressants that do cause a lot of these problems.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Take care. How dare you say take care? Isn't that
some sort of like, I don't know that doesn't have
religious overtones to you.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's a dog whistle.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's a dog whistle. It's exactly a dog whistle. The
White House posted, you know, we've got the National Guard
out in DC and crime has dropped precipitously, and now
some of the guardsmen are heaven forbid, they are actually

(01:00):
picking up some trash. So the cabal's gone back crack crazy,
because how dare you use the National Guard as they're
you know, walking the streets. They actually picked up some trash,
something that probably you and I should be doing as citizens.
You know, we're walking down are you know you're stuck
on I twenty five traffic and you happen to be

(01:23):
on the inside lane next to the median. You could
open your door and scoop up a bunch of trash
off the media and probably say, save somebody from damaging
their car, getting a you know, a blowout or anything.
We could be helping too, but the National Guard's doing that.
They posted on x yesterday a short video of a
woman who a black woman, which I think is important

(01:46):
to note, who owns a convenience store. But it looks
like a damn nice convenience store. Not that convenience stores
aren't nice. I just mean I was kind of like, Wow,
this is a really nice place you have here, and
she has this to say, I'm sorry, I forgot to rewind,

(02:06):
Like Blockbuster, I forgot to rewind the tape before I
took it back. He's be kind, that's right, Please be
kind and rewind. So here she is in a neighborhood
convenience store, and she's really grateful for the fact that
the Guard has come into her neighborhood and they're cleaning
up the try the crime and when we'll get this

(02:28):
video up at Michael says, go here pretty soon and.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
You can see hearing the podcast. What because you're not
hearing in the podcast? Oh crap? I truly despise that rule.
It's absolutely fine. Just for the people that know they'll
hear it sounds like a gap in the audio going
from this to this, Well, just know that most of
those cases it's because there's something that Michael is playing

(02:53):
on air that cannot be played in the podcast.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
So just go to Michael says go here dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Which which you which I find amazing because I'm playing
a official White House video and I'm certain the White
House is the White House Council has made sure that
they have the ability to use that music in that background.

(03:20):
But there's this stupid rule that says we can't then
even though we can broadcast it over air, we can't
then put it up on the podcast because BMI and
as GAP and the others believe that that is beyond
the licensing of using the music, which I think I
think is a dumb rule, But I also think it's

(03:40):
dumb on the part of radio station owners, not just
my own, but all radio station owners for not going
back to BMI and ask GAP and saying let's make
a deal here, because you've already licensed your music for
broadcast over the air, we're going to use it on
a podcast US, which further exposes your music to even

(04:02):
more people. The stupidity, stupidity is amazing. Speaking of stupidity,
let's go to MSNBC. You just heard this woman who
has a neighborhood like convenient small grocery store. My guess
is somewhere in uh, the east part of d C.

(04:25):
It's probably east of the US capital. So Sam Stein
is being interviewed by Joe Starborough in his Sweetheart Mika.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Sam, your thoughts so on on the salami sandwich? What
is the difference between the salami sandwich hitting a federal
agent and a ham sandwich? And what makes uh, perhaps
the ham sandwich a felony the salame sandwich a misdemeanor.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
Best, there's so many unanswered questions here. Was it a
five dollars foot long? Was it was?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
It?

Speaker 6 (04:58):
Was it with six inches? You know what kind of
condiments were on it? That could have changed the sentencing here?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
So we just don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I think what's clear I.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Agree with Mark that they're doesn't like I'm gonna use
the word relish, but they are trying to relish. The
judges are trying to relish and rebuking the administration.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I didn't use it intentionally. I did, I did.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
You're right, But the truth of the matter is that
the charges being brought against these people are way overstated, right.
I mean, these were not these would not being these
would be misdemeanor charges in normal circumstances.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
But I just went heard Jake, that's what I said yesterday.
The administration is trying to make a point. Uh, they
should be rebuked. Uh.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
And again I just you know, if you were a
rational human being trying to camp down crime, you wouldn't
be sending, you know, throwing the books at the sandwich thrower.
You'd be going into neighborhoods where actual crime was committed.
And that's not actually taking place here.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I go back to this.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
To me, at least a couple of weeks into this,
this seems more about creating a spectacle and also about
going at undocumented workers. If it was about crime, they
would do things differently, not just in terms of where
they're deploying people, but in terms of the charges they're
bringing against people.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, actually they are going into the neighborhoods. But that's
not the visual that the cabal wants you to see.
They want you to see the guard walking down Pennsylvania Avenue,
Constitution Avenue. That's what they want you to see. But
how we would never watch and you know, never videotape

(06:34):
an armored personnel carrier driving down you know, C Street Southeast. Oh,
don't do that because that might show them actually going
into the neighborhoods. But sam Stein raises a good point.
If you are a rational human being trying to tamp
down crime, you'd be going into neighborhoods where actual crime

(06:58):
was committed. So where is actual crime committed?

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Now?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm not saying that the shooting history was not an
actual crime. It was clearly an actual crime. But you
know that I am a staunch supporter of let's get
some perspective now. The perspective I want to establish here
is not that the family of these children who have

(07:25):
been murdered and injured, or the adults who have been injured,
that they don't deserve h Here I go again, that
they don't deserve our thoughts and prayers, and if they
don't deserve a rational, realistic look at the causes of
these dirt bag criminals that go out and commit these crimes.

(07:47):
But the perspective that I want you to think about.
Is this is all over them? In fact, I look up,
Oh we got some The police have four search warrants
executed in the shooting investigation. That's all you're going to hear,
add infinitum until you want to throw up. I wonder
if there's any crime going on anywhere else. I wonder

(08:09):
if my producer has any sort of course, you know,
I'm asking I'm asking my producer to actually do some work.
So I don't know, maybe Dragon, do you have any
stats you'd like to share with you with the goobers
out there?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Oh? Well, I did pull up some just just some
headlines from from Chicago over the past three weekends. Okay,
so this was reported on Monday, the twenty fifth.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's this week by the by the way.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
This past weekend from Chicago, this headline says six dead,
twenty seven hurt and shooting.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Six dead, twenty seven thirty three victims. Yeah, in one weekend.
This past weekend in Chicagogo must run by a Marxist
mayor that says that if Trump dares move into Chicago,
he'll fighting.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
It must must be some kind of fluke, though, really,
I'm sure. So I jumped back to the previous weekend.
Of course, headlines from Monday the eighteen, good, I will
get some right. This headline was two dead and twenty
three hurt in shootings in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
So that's twenty seven. So number of dead went down,
but the total victims went up.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, oh yeah, But so again that must be some
kind of fluke because it's Chicago. I mean, well, it's
not that bad, as you stayed at the mayor said Trump,
don't send the National Guard here.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
We're fine.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
So Monday the eleventh, the headline reads from the previous weekend,
four dead and thirty hurt in.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Thirty thirty four. So the point you want to make
is over the past three weekends, we've actually had a
decrease in crime in Chicago. Yeah, that was the point
you were trying to must must be Yeah, how many?
This is three weeks in.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Six dead, two dead, four dead, twenty seven hurt, twenty
three hurt and thirty hurt in.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
What's that total for three weeks three weekends.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Sixty something hurt, No, ninety something hurt and twelve dead.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Twelve dead, ninety some hurt over three weeks, three week
weekend period in Chicago. Yeah, dragon, do you want to
go with me to a random school, or you want
to go to the South side of Chicago.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
I have no hesitation ever about going to any school,
but you tell me I'm going to Chicago.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
You don't want to do a remote from the South
side of Chicago, preferably not a little perspective this recognition
well among us anyway, that crime is a serious problem
in this country, and in terms of of tentacles that

(11:01):
I could, you know, slide down to talk about the
causes of crime.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Memorable, My numbers are just over the weekend, so we're
talking Saturday, Sunday, probably Friday too, So that doesn't equal
out or add in the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So
there are four other days of the week that we
are missing from these stats here.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Well, maybe they take those days off of course, because
I've been so busy over the weekend that they've got.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
To criminals are too tired, They.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Off right, they just work on the weekends because there
are no cops working on the weekends. The cops only work,
you know, Monday through Thursdays. Yeah, evil drugs, and I
think we've created a society where gee, I was about

(12:02):
to say, idle hands, but that might be a reference
to something in the Bible, so let me avoid that
and just say that we've created a society where you
no longer have to do anything on your own to survive.
For a human being, to survive, you need to feed yourself,

(12:22):
you you know, if you live, depending on where you live,
you need to protect yourself from the weather. Some might
say the climate, but I would say the weather. And
you also need to be able to clothe yourself. You
need to have access to water. It'd be nice to
have access to medication because you might live longer, but

(12:44):
it's not necessary to just day to day living. You
might die, but you know you're going to die anyway,
so it doesn't make any difference. It just depends on
whether it wants your lifespan to be you know, you know,
fifteen or twenty two years or twenty five years or
as it is now you know up we're of you know,
way past seventy years. It depends on what you want
your lifespan to be. But we've created society where you

(13:07):
don't have to do any of those things. You don't
have to hunt and gather, you don't you don't have
to you know, seek shelter. We provide all of that stuff.
And therefore, when you don't have to do anything. This
is why, you know, in terms of the Oh, Judeo Christian, careful,

(13:32):
I know, I expect Temper to come in here anytime
and take me off the effort. I've said Christian or Jesus.
I don't know too many times today that if you,
if you buy into or believe in the Judeo Christian ethic,
that you need to work. I think that's part of
the reason why I think God, oh, I'm sorry, careful,

(13:53):
some higher being made us eat, you know, to fuel
these carbon based bodies that we our souls reside in.
Is so that we would do productive things. We would
use our brains and we would figure out ways to eat,
and then you know, we would figure out ways to
be even more efficient about producing food, and we would

(14:15):
grow as humans and our society would kind of flourish
and grow, and we would we would, you know, because
we're made in the image of that of that higher being,
and so therefore we are destined to greatness. I really
believe the humankind is. But then we adopted a government.

(14:37):
But in this country, we adopted a government that was
designed to protect what we believe are our God given rights,
our natural rights. So we created a government of limited
and enumerated powers to protect our rights and to create
a social compact so that we could have some rules.
Because those founding fathers, just like the Romans and everybody else,

(15:03):
knew that the nature of man was that well, lazy, evil,
prone to do bad things to take advantage of others.
And so we created a government that said, no, here's
what we're gonna do. We're gonna have a society where
everyone is going to produce based upon their merit, their skills,

(15:23):
their abilities, and for those who cannot, then we will
have churches or charitable organizations that will care for them.
But then along came a bunch of progressive Democrats and
they all decided that it would be better if because

(15:44):
don't you feel badly for people who can't take care
of themselves? Well I do, I actually do. I know
you think I'm a cold hearted bastard, but I actually
feel sorry for people who are simply unable, maybe not
very smart, you know, maybe not even as maybe they're
even dumber than dragon. So they're really wasn't listening. I'm

(16:06):
not just telling me about beings, people being dumber than you.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Oh yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
That will because you're not listening. So we created government
program and took away the incentive for family, for the
nuclear family, all of those things, and what happens crime
comes in.

Speaker 7 (16:33):
Hey, I live in a town of fifty thousand people.
We have about fifteen to twenty homicides per year, and
I'd like to know where I sign up to have
the National Guard come walk the streets in my town.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Didn't it seem high? Fifty thousand, twenty homicides a year?

Speaker 3 (16:55):
So why, hey, once a national Guard?

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Holy crap, where do you live.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
It?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Can you tell?

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Is that a Colorado area code? Because I didn't mean
anything anymore, but.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
It is not okay, No, I don't want to give
it out because I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
No, no, yeah, don't get no, don't get me, don't.
But but send us a text message and tell us
where you live and tell us you're the one that
lives in a in a town of fifty thousand you
have fifteen to twenty homicides per year. I don't know.
That just seems outrageous. Dragon. I have to do a
little inside baseball business real quickly. We have to do

(17:33):
a PSA and he has to record it and send
it off to management to prove that we did it.
So we're giving you a heads up that we're going
to do that right now. Are you ready, mister producer?

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Fine, I'm recording.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Okay, three two. I can't believe we do it this way.

Speaker 7 (17:49):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
The only way he'd know is if he was listening live.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Well, he may be listening live, but still he gets
the joke, that is true. And the other thing, if
he wants to argue with me about the joke, we're
actually putting more emphasis on the PSA than it would
normally get anyway. True, Yes, all right, three two one? Hey,
now's your chance to thank a teacher with iHeartRadio powered

(18:13):
by donors choke. No, we've been start this on over.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, we do it.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, it's donors choose, not donors choose. Hum. Interesting, I
don't know. Now's your chance to thank a teacher with
iHeartRadio powered by donors choose? Waway?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Can you start that? You gotta give me the three
two one.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oh three two one. Now's your chance to thank a
teacher with iHeartRadio powered by donors Choose nominate an outstanding
public school teacher who's gone above and beyond for their
students to win five thousand bucks to help her stock
their classroom. Helen Campos, a teacher at Bradley International School

(18:52):
in Denver, is nominated now. Helen works with their students
and their families to bridge the connection between home and school,
making pairs feel like an active part of learning. So
nominate your favorite teacher right now at iHeartRadio dot com
slash teachers in the PSA.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
And don't worry, I'll reply all to everybody on that email.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Oh good. By the way, there's a typo in this,
because if I read it correctly, it says, now's your
chance to thank at teacher with iHeartRadio. So you think
we should send anyone exactly that.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
I'm curious to listen to all the other ones see
if they did it right too.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I just stumbled over that as I saw that. So
I'm sorry that we're having such a good time today
because we should never have such a good time on radio,
and it's thank the Lord. I'm exactly exactly. Oh there
you went again. So, as we talked about last week

(19:53):
in the beginning of the week, kill Mar Abrego Garcia,
I'm not call him KAG again, was taken into custody.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
He was checking in with ICE in Baltimore on Monday morning.
That very day, his lawyers filed a habeas petition h
action in the District of Maryland Federal District Court of Maryland,
seeking to prevent his deportation, his immediate deportation to Uganda.
Dragon you know what the official language of Uganda is.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
I have no idea, but I'm just curious, is too
if that politician that had martinis with him did he go?

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Did he did he help out?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Did he I hope anything? You're talking about Senator Chris
van Holland.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, what's his face?

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah? What's his face? I maybe maybe they did. Maybe
they had you know, a nice really Jim Martini dirty up.
You know, two or three olives sounds pretty good. Right now,
it's only eight thur in the morning and I'm thinking
about having a martini.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
I mean, he wouldn't have to leave the country for
it this time, so it's a shorter trip.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
True, he could just do it right there at the
ICE headquarters in Baltimore. Short trip for him. Remember, the
complaint was, you're going to send him to a country
where he doesn't speak the language.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, well we're sending him. Maybe he doesn't speak the language.
There are two official languages in Uganda Swahili, which I'm
guessing he probably doesn't speak in English. Now, for a
guy who's been in this country for decades, I would
think that he probably speaks.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
A little English enough to get by, enough.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
To get by anyway. The habeas corpus petition that they're
trying to get him, you know, produced the body is
the meaning of habeas corpus. The lawsuit a ledges that
he has additional due process rights so that he can
change in the Immigration Court, which has already you know,

(21:55):
issued the removal order to challenge the designation of Uganda
as his now removal destination. You can't make this crap up.
The petition was assigned to Judge Paula Zenus. That's exactly
the same judge that presided over the civil case that

(22:18):
his family brought back in March when he was deported
to Al Salvador in violation of the Immigration's judges ruling
that he could not be removed to that country because
of a credible fear of persecution. So she conducted a
hearing by telephone hours after the petition was filed. What
this guy's getting special? He's getting the red carpet treatment.

(22:43):
Any lawyer in Colorado or any other fifty six states
that goes out and files a habeas corpus petition, do
you think you're going to get your hearing within hours
of filing that petition?

Speaker 5 (22:55):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
But kg is she determined that she wanted to have
an evidentiary hearing witness testimony tomorrow and order that he
not be removed from the country prior to that hearing.
Ice is not only fighting illegal immigration, they're fighting federal

(23:19):
district courts. Now, just be honest, the filing of that
petition fully expected, if for no other reason, then, as
I said on earlier in the week and last week,
the judge actually invited it with language that she had
included in all the various rulings that she had made
in the prior case. Now, there are some really interesting

(23:39):
allegations and citations to case law that exist in the
fourth Circuit where the appeals are being heard, and one
in particular stood out in paragraph twenty two. This is
in the allegations made in their petition for Hevieus Corporate.

(24:01):
A grant of withholding of removal is specific to one
country only. Should the government wish to remove an individual
with a grant of withholding of removal to some other country,
it must first provide that individual KAG in this case,
with notice and an opportunity to apply for withholding of
removal as to that country as well, if appropriate. The

(24:25):
prohibition on removal to a country where a non citizen
would face persecution or torture remains absolute and precisely because
withholding of removal is country specific. As the government says,
if a non citizen who has been granted withholding us
to one country faces removal to an alternative country, then

(24:46):
she must be given notice and an opportunity to request
withholding of removal to that particular country. Citing a couple
of case laws, the casey side is Guzman Chavez. Now.
I found that interesting because that is the position that

(25:07):
was taken as they're taken that was rejected by the
Supreme Court in a case called DHS versus DVD back
in June. That is an accurate quote from the twenty
nineteen opinion, but note the reference to the case being
reversed on other grounds and then a citation to the

(25:29):
Supreme Court. This is all in their Habeas corpus petition.
That is a way to make the claim that while
the holding of the Guzman Shava's case may no longer
actually be the law, other parts of the opinion were
not undermined by the Supreme Court in reversing the outcome.

(25:53):
Now that analysis comes towards later in the story. But
if you look at the d case, that's where a
judge of Massachusetts stepped in to block deportations of criminal
aliens to third countries when their home countries refused to
take them back. When the third country for removal was identified,

(26:18):
the judge held that the deportees, the illegal aliens, had
new dte They had brand new due process rights to
make a new claim under the Convention against Torture specific
to the new country they were going to be sent to,
and those claims can only be made while they're in
the United States. So the judge in the Massachusetts case

(26:42):
entered an injunction while eight individuals were already en route
to the South Sudan. So the Trump administration then diverted
the flight to Djibouti, where they were held at a
small US military base. Supreme Court issued a stay of
the injunction, but did so without commenting as to the reason.

(27:06):
What was the effect of the Supreme Court's decision that
was to allow the removal of the eight individuals sitting
in the US Air Force base in Djibouti to be
able to move on to allow additional third country movals
to take place without first providing them any additional due

(27:27):
process rights, specifically to make the Convention against Torture case
to the third country once it was identified. So the
Supreme Court is already ruled in this, but Kag's lawyers
are going back to not to the same judge but
in the DVD in Abragio Garcia case. They're going right

(27:51):
back to the same judge and making challenges against the
deportation that the Supreme Court has already said, No, there
are no additional rights. So this is what the Trump
administration is proposing to do with Kag, take him to
Uganda without further ado process, like challenging the Convention against

(28:13):
Torture specific to Uganda. So this Habeas Corpus case I'll
fall apart immediately. The district judge did what the mint
what let me. Just let me stop here because I
need to explain this in just layman's terms. I'll explain

(28:35):
what this Massachusetts judge judge did next.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Michael, did you hear they're investigating the shooting in Minneapolis
as a potential hate crime?

Speaker 3 (28:45):
What a stupid ass term? Come on, No, he woent.

Speaker 7 (28:48):
And shot up those people because he loved.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Them so much. Hate crime? What a stupid, stupid term.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
On one of the magazines he did say, this is
for the children.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
So you know, I love this audience. I don't want
to make sure my microphones are because I don't want
to hear that. I actually love this audience. It's amazing
to me how they just drag and I were going
through the text messages during the break and they're brilliant.
Mike fifteen seventy three. Can you explain why they can

(29:21):
keep a person from being deported to the home country
due to fear of persecution? Who cares? Not our problem?
You're protecting from that? No, I can't explain it. All
I can tell you is that somehow there's buried somewhere
in case law that you know you can't do that.
It's irrational to me, By the way we know where

(29:42):
the You think I can say where the place is,
he won't care me. Okay, let's just say it's an Ohio.
It's just it's in Ohio. And he says, we get
a lot of charges dropped. So official numbers may be
closer to ten to twelve homicides annually, but people that
live here no better. Uh seven. Now we're creating even

(30:06):
more government programs. Almost every day, another thing is announced
by the White House giving money for special interests, and
the debt just grows wildly. When do we start thinking
that this is normal? Woodrow Wilson Progressive Democrats and now
and I'm the same way with Trump. It seems we
keep getting all these new programs. And I'll give you

(30:29):
an example, and I and I'll explain why I think
this is acceptable. Trump wants to clean up DC. I
think DC does need to clean up, be cleaned up.
I think that they need to get it's the broken
windows theory, which we've explained before, that you need to

(30:50):
get rid of the graffiti, you need to pave the streets,
you need to clean the gutters, you need to clean
the medians, you need to you know, make sure the
grasses mode and it's you know, properly watered, and it's growing.
You need to trim the bushes, you need to you know,
take care of the trees. You need to do everything.
And Trump says he's going to go to Congress and

(31:11):
ask for money to do that. Well, because it's the
district of Columbia, that's the only place you can get money. Well,
it's not the only place you can get money, but
that's where you need to go to get the money.
And everybody agrees. Yeah, I agree DC needs to be
cleaned up. I agree that Denver needs to be cleaned up.

(31:32):
Hell's bellsy and tire freaking say that Colorado needs to
be cleaned up. It's embarrassing. Are you willing to pay
more taxes for it? For Colorado? I'm not. I want
to reprioritize our tax dollars, but we won't do that.
And in d C, I think that people who live
in d C, you know, might this might help accomplish

(31:54):
my objective of getting DC narrowed down to a smaller footprint,
because we cover way too much area in DC. Virginia
gave most of it, you know, we gave most of
the portion of the district that belonged to Virginia back
to Virginia. We ought to give everything in Maryland back
to Maryland, with the exception of everything pretty much along

(32:16):
the National Mall and kind of around a little bit
of Southwest d C. Where there's some government office buildings
and the US Capital. Everything else gets turned back over
to Maryland. Let it be those taxpayers responsibilities. Then I
might not have such a problem if we just had
offices and not residences in the District of Columbia, and

(32:37):
then I might be okay with the government allocating a
couple of million dollars to clean it up. But again
that I know, a couple of million dollars. We don't
have a couple of million dollars laying around. And we
don't have a couple of million dollars laying around to
clean up Denver because Mike Johnston, the Denver City Council,
and the dumbass Democrats in Colorado spend money on the

(32:58):
wrong things. Oh, we're going to clean up homelessness. So
we were to spend eighty million dollars clean up homelessness. Now,
how's that working out for you? That's how we get
to where we are today. And well, I haven't finished
hearing on my research, but we're doing the same thing
in Douglas County. From Douglas County back in twenty twenty two,

(33:19):
we approved the continuation of a one point seven tens
seven percent sales tax for parks, trails, historic resources, and
open space. But they're going to spend hundreds of billions
on other stuff.
