And places like Chicago and New York are feeling the effects.

Everybody wants to blame somebody too.

And you know, they want to blame Governor Abbott and DeSantis when in reality, it was their own policies, their own sanctuary city policies that encouraged people to come there.

They talked about how great they were, how much better they were than the rest of the country, how self-righteous, they took that self-righteous stance

And now they got caught in their own words.

I don't know.

Look, I mean, I think they think they're doing a good thing.

And a lot of them are incentivized by federal dollars.

We saw this during COVID.

During COVID, I'm like, look, I'm not doing the lockdowns.

I'm not doing the mask mandates, and I'm not doing the vaccine mandates.

I'm not doing it.

And the county kept saying to me, well, the government, and I said, what are they gonna do?

The only thing they can take from you is your funding.

That's it.

That's where the federal government gets all these states and communities over a barrel because they offer you grant funding.

We're gonna give you this COVID funding.

We're gonna give you.

Once you take the money, you're done.

And so I kept telling them, I don't care.
