He's a big government guy.

They want the power of the state to have mass men.

Let me just counterfactual it for my Republican friends.

If –

President Gavin Newsom decided we're going to deploy the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Farms.

We're going to expand them by a factor of 5000.

We're going to put them in the streets to look for illegal guns and kick down your door and stop you on the street without without a warrant or try to come in your home without a warrant.

How would you think about that?

Because that's what's happening to Americans right now.

Yeah.

It's not about guns right now.

It's about people who are protesting ICE.

And it's not small government.

It's not conservative.

This idea that the Fourth Amendment is just like an optional thing now?

I mean, the founders very much wrote the Constitution based on things they saw had happened to them at the hands of an oppressive, tyrannical government.

They knew you had to have freedom of speech.

They knew that if anyone could enter your home for any reason, you didn't have security.

They knew that if you didn't have due process, you didn't have actual autonomy over your life.

All these things that Trump has convinced Republicans are conservative, it is madness.
