say it and it was so developed in my mind that I can't remember if I said it or just thought about saying it. You know one of those situations. So I'm going to say it again and you could tell me if I said it already live. I'm in a weird situation living here in what should be a safe neighborhood in California because three of my neighbors in the last 18 months or so have had what we think are Sout…

Why does Trump's plan look as aggressive as it is? Why does it look like it could work and probably would work? Because it properly understands the free market. It properly understands the free market. That's it. That's the whole story. And when Kamala Harris comes up with the plan it improperly understands human relations and motivations and incentives and the free market. It's really just that simple. If you don't understand how a free market works you do all the wrong stuff. If you do understand like Trump, everything he says makes sense.
Here's a little test for you. What did Trump do in his first term that didn't make sense on paper? I can't think of anything. Now like any presidency there are things that might not work right in the real world. Good ideas don't always work. There's always some hidden problem. But name something that Trump came up with, any kind of plan that he actually implemented in his first term that didn't make sense on paper. I don't think there is one. But you look at Kamala Harris's plan and literally it doesn't look good on paper. If you're reading The Washington Post, being a paper. Yeah. So this is really different.
When Trump says he's, you know the Republicans are the party of common sense. Vaccines, you're saying that vaccines didn't make sense on paper? Well if they weren't mandated they might have. That might have been a better argument. Yeah so the trouble with vaccines, I don't want to get into that conversation, is that we're all smart in hindsight. If you put yourself in the situation that he was in it looks pretty different. In hindsight we're all geniuses anyway.
Twenty-four attorney generals — I think they're probably all Republicans — are moving to secure the 2024 election according to RSBN. And that they filed a motion to the Supreme Court to stop non-citizens from voting. Is that really a problem? How many of you think that the number of non-citizens who vote is going to be a big enough number to make any difference? Because I think we're conflating it with the issue of having mail-in ballots for non-citizens which somebody else fills out. They harvest them and fill them out. Now that would be big enough. The number, if it's true that the non-citizens are getting ballots mailed to them automatically, that would create hundreds of thousands of ballots that somebody could harvest. Now that's a big problem.
But how big is the problem of an illegal immigrant who wants to vote but is not legal? I feel like that wouldn't be huge. Because if you came to this country the last thing you want to do is break a law that doesn't matter to you because you know that your one vote isn't going to change anything, right? Let's say you're an illegal immigrant and let's say you think you can get away with voting. So you're thinking I think I'll give it a shot. Your one vote's not going to make any difference but it might get you deported, right? If Trump doesn't say I'm going to deport first any immigrant who voted, you're first in line. Why doesn't he say that by the way? Trump should say that when we do our mass deportatio

ns, first we're going to get the dangerous criminals to the extent we can identify them. So we'll do the dangerous people first. And then our second wave will be anybody who voted illegally because we can't have that disruption in our system. I think America would say all right well maybe we like or don't like the deportations but if you're going to do it in that order that does make sense. So yo…
