judge ended aup Politana, Welcome back to the About Theres
morning show.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
My friend at pleasure, And you know, I used to
grow corn on my farm, but there's so many of
my neighbors do it that there's really no market for it.
I mean, I have a neighbor who grows one hundred
acres of corn.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That is a lot of when he sells at all. Wow.
So if you grow.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Corn, it's really for your own consumption because the bigger
guys have pushed the smaller ones out ugly.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't know, never heard of corn on the cob day,
No neither I. But Ingram's on top of these matters
trivial obviously. My daughter has a small I call it
a farm at five and a half acres. They just
got bees, two bee hives, and that now qualifies them
as agriculture, so I think it makes them eligible for
some tax credits and things like that. So they've done
(02:12):
her her fiance. I've just done wonders on their little
farm at but the bee hives so fresh honey from
the farm.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
We sell broccolini, shallots, and garlic. I have about six
hundred pounds of garlic that'll be ready for harvesting in July.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I have just two customers, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
One is a hotel with a restaurant and the other
is a freestanding restaurant, and they buy all this from me.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Six hundred pounds of coarlic.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That's a lot of garlic. Lord almighty, I'd love to
see your farm someday.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, someday I hope you will all organic.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's wonderful. That is wonderful.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Well, if you spray, I know you want to talk
about more substantive things. If you spray to get rid
of the bugs. The spray consists of my grandmother would
love this water and olive oil, really and that stops
the bugs.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Helpful hints from judge and an Apolitano farmer. Boy, that's amazing,
Good for you, fun facts all right, pivoting over slouching
toward authoritarianism. I warned you ahead of time that you
know you're analysis of what's going on in Los Angeles
and Donald trump'son deployed the National Guard and the Marines,
which I understand legally are two completely different things. My
(03:27):
understanding is that they they were there because the Los
Angeles Police Department's overwhelmed. They're under directive not to assist
or ICE or anything like that. And I get that
they're a sanctuary city whatever, but that does not mean
ICE can't go in. ICE goes in to do its job.
It's authorized by the federal law to go in and
arrest illegal immigrants, like it or not, that's what they're
(03:48):
allowed to do. But then they were attacked by rioters.
Now I know most of the people there were just
protesting their activities, and they're allowed to protest. But when
you start throwing concrete at ICE vehicles and attacking them
and burning federal buildings or spraying your FETA on those
are criminal acts and they weren't able to get It's a.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Terrible state of affairs when free expression of thousands of
people morphs into violence of a handful. It is the
duty of the government to protect the right of free
expression to those who are not violent. It is not
the duty of the government to clamp down everything. So
(04:29):
One of my complaints is the shutting down of all
free expression in order to stop that which is fomented
by the violence. The violent people couldn't care less about
free speech. They either hate the government or somehow think
they can materially interfere with or start some movement against ICE.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Listen. I don't like these ICE rays either.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I question the constitutionality of an arrest warrant that doesn't
name the person and that is not based on probable cause.
They walk in and say who speaks Spanish and half
a dozen people hide or say something in English that
obviously isn't pronounced correctly, and they get arrested. I have
a serious problem with that. But that doesn't justify violence,
(05:16):
and the violence, in my view, does not justify the military.
Because we have a limited federal government, this is a
state issue that should be resolved by state authorities. If
the state authorities want LA to burn, there's not much
the federal government can do about it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Hmm. Well, Nancy Pelosi refer to them anarchists. They say
these gatherings of large people will provide an opportunity for anarchists,
and I think that's a fairly accurate assessment. You know
there are people that do want to bring down the system,
you know, hardcore Marxists for example. But fundamentally, I mean,
doesn't the president have an obligation to protect the American
(05:54):
citizen And if the local law enforcement, local government refuses
to protect the American citizens from violelce, doesn't the Trump
have some obligation or at least some arguable authority to
do that by virtue of the National Guard?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
One word answer, no, fair enough.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
The matter of public safety is not a federal issue,
not even arguably under the Constitution. Now, as Trump sees it,
he's sort of the avuncular figure in Washington, d C.
Protecting people where local liberal Democrats won't. I get his argument.
(06:29):
He's obviously milking it for all it's worth. He would
love just as Gavin Newsom would love to be arrested. Yeah,
I know what, the two of them love the confrontation
with each other. But under the Constitution, health, safety, welfare,
and morality is just a state matter. Now, you could argue,
all right, the riots in LA affect interstate commerce. Interstate
(06:51):
commerce is regulated by the Congress. Therefore the President can
go into well, it's the riots of that interstate commerce continues.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I get that argument.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That's a big government argument, which I continue to rejects.
An in violation of federal law can send troops in
because he doesn't like the way local government is operating
the government. What's to stop him from sending the troops
in for any other thing locally that he doesn't like
(07:21):
if it's not delegated to the federal government under the constitution.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Washington hands off.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Understood and agree with completely. What of the argument though,
that attacking federal employees, ice agents, and federal property that
that needs to be protected, And wouldn't that give the
National Guard to the federal government authority when local law
enforcement is not doing anything to arrest or otherwise detain
violent people who are acting against.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
The stand that argument. So the use of the National
Guard is tricky. If Gavin Newsom is commanding the National Guard,
they can engage in ordinary law enforcement. They can arrest people,
they can testify as witnesses or prosecution. They can interrogate them,
they can push them out of certain areas, just like
the police can do. But when Donald Trump is commanding
(08:13):
the National Guard, they are prohibited from engaging in law enforcement,
So he actually has diminished the role of law enforcement
by sending them there. Had he just sent the Marines
to protect the property and left the National Guard into
Gavin Newsom's hands, he'd have a much larger and more
(08:34):
effective law enforcement presence on the ground. But he's interested,
as Congressman Massy just said, he's interested more in optics
than he is in constitutional fidelity.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Fair Enough, the polls indicated, at least in large part
with the Republicans, vast majority of like ninety percent and
fifty high fifty percent of the Independence favor what he's doing.
But then again, we have to, I guess point out
what you're pointing out. Not everybody is in tune with
the limits on the federal government as the Constitution places them.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Very very few people are. Who was the last president
to veto something because it was unconstitutional? The only other
president has served two separate terms, Grover Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
That was a long time ago, Brian, Yes, it was.
Judge ennetor Platano. Always appreciate your legal analysis and breakdown
and your commitment to the Constitution of the United States,
the supreme law of the land. It's a pleasure having
you on the program every week. Sir. I'll look forward
to another one next Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Likewise, whether we agree or disagree, it continues to enhance
our friendship absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh real quick, Judging Freedom. Who's on, Oh, Colonel.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
McGregor at eleven this morning, not on Los Angeles, but
on just how close are we to war where they're
run already?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Answer? Very close.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I saw that the Supreme Leader just issued a death
threat or an order to kill the president, vice president,
the cabinet members and everybody else. Crazy stuff going on
in the world. Judging Polytunn will be tuning in for
Judging Freedom to look forward to next Wednesday. God bless
you man, you got it right back at you, Brian,
all the best, Thank you. Eight forty one fifty five KRC.
