Speaker 2 ICE needs to be destroyed as an agency and fully rebuilt. matched

I mean, this is something that I also think is ICE was formed in 2003. matched

It's not some foundational element of American security. matched

We used to have the INS. matched

We had a whole other thing once. matched

And I mean, we can have plenty of criticisms of how the INS worked, but recently people are like, well, if you get rid of ICE, what are we gonna do for immigration enforcement? matched

It's like, I don't know, all the stuff we did prior, and we can make a new agency with new rules and new personnel and new institutions and a new culture matched

to actually enforce immigration law, not just be weaponized essentially as a paramilitary political force, which is what we have right now. matched

And so it's been, I think an agency that is willing or is capable of going this far outside the bounds of constitutional behavior is not something that deserves reform. matched

Speaker 3 It's a. We we have reached a point where the wealth disparity in this country is so vast that there is an insane amount of money far above that six hundred nine thousand dollars matched

I personally would like to see a billionaire minimum tax where we just go after almost every dollar over a certain number. matched

Well, so it's a good question because, I mean, I think income we should do, but we also have to go after wealth. matched

I mean, it is only relying on income tax, especially in an age where the ultra rich, they just borrow against their assets for liquidity. matched

And we but because their assets are technically unrealized, we don't tax them. matched

And yet they can borrow against them for liquidity, which they can then write off as debt. matched

It's absurd. matched

So, I mean, I think part of the mechanism there is either we just go after certain types of unrealized wealth in general. matched

Certainly, I think if you're going to borrow against an asset, that asset needs to be taxable. matched

End of story. matched

Because you are using it essentially as income. matched
