Yeah, but we don't deserve that.
America doesn't deserve that.
Look, America is the last bastion of freedom and actual liberty.
Like the and it's it's come down to, you know, maybe half the country or maybe maybe two thirds of the country actually respects the things that were laid out in the Constitution and actually cares about the things that that the founders actually cared about.
so i i mean i reject the idea that that this is worse than the crimes that are being committed by the criminals okay so right off the bat but but i do think that if ice is is being this heavy-handed not that i i have you know have any kind of serious moral problem with with people showing the police their id or law enforcement their id
But the fact that the police chief is getting on TV and talking about it, to Tim's point, it is really bad for optics.
And I do think that this is something that the administration and the DOJ really need to be careful about.
Just like the optics of this is bad.
You don't want to have this as something that's in the front of people's minds.
It's bad enough that to deport people and wrap them up makes sense.
you know, makes ICE and DOJ look like they're using too much force, particularly because the left's going to do whatever they can to make it look like they're using too much force.
They're going to go out there and they're going to try and inhibit their activities and stuff.
And so they should avoid it just for that reason.
It's literally, it's like North America, South America.
It makes perfect sense for it to be the Golf of America.
