He'd never seen grocery scan because he'd never been in a grocery store.

Yeah.

And I'll give you an example of what I think is bizarre.

So we've been blowing up these people in boats off the coast of Venezuela.

They're accused of running drugs, but nobody knows their names and nobody's put up any evidence.

When we had them September 2nd, two of them were still clinging to the wreckage.

They're shipwrecked.

they blew them up.

And so what I think is bizarre is I hear mostly my Republican colleagues say, well, we shouldn't have to.

How do we know they're not armed?

And it's like, but there's this thing called presumption of innocence.

They say it doesn't apply.

Well, it actually always has applied on the oceans.

We have always, we've had drug interdiction, but we have always stopped boats and asked to search them.

If they flee or shoot at the Coast Guard, they will get shot and blown up.

But it's usually an escalatory sort of steps.

We know that when the Coast Guard boards vessels off of Miami and off of California, one in four of the boats they board don't have any drugs on them.

So I look at my colleagues who say they're pro-life and they value God's inspiration in life, but they don't give a shit about these people in the boats.

And are they terrible people in boats?

I don't know.
