What are Trump's controversial pardons and their implications?
President Trump made the right moves to get Puerto Rico out of a mess, putting private enterprise to work.
The electrical grid and other infrastructure were already in very, very poor shape. They were at their life's end prior to the hurricanes. And now virtually everything has been wiped out. We're literally starting from scratch.
But Governor Gonzales Colon thinks she knows better.
How is the immigration situation impacting New Orleans?
Innovative companies ran to meet the challenge to rebuild Puerto Rico's grid. Now she's blowing up a valid contract to siphon money back to her closest political advisors. President Trump puts real businesses to work instead of fueling government waste. Don't let the governor send Puerto Rico back to square one. Support the rule of law. Visit PuertoRicoInvestment.org.

Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller.
What are the economic effects of recent political decisions?
I'm in D.C., so who else is I going to bring in here besides the repugnant, the interrupting, the managing editor of our here outlet, Sam Stein. What an intro. Thank you. Interrupting Kyle Samstein. Moo.
Moo.
I got you first, buddy. As I have been all week, I'm taking personal privilege to begin by talking about New Orleans.
How do the hosts critique the media's portrayal of politicians?
The invasion of my city has officially begun now. I saw images of the wee little guy. Yeah. Little Nazi guy. Bovina. Bovina, yeah. The haircut and the hand signals. He was walking through the French Quarter.
What insights are shared about the future of the Democratic Party?
I got to tell you, if any of my friends who are like Nader D's in the French Quarter, you just give this guy the Sarah Huckabee Sanders red hen treatment, okay? What a deep cut, yeah. No fucking gumbo or jambalaya for this guy, okay? Anyway, that's the funny part. The bad part is actually happening. It's mostly out in the suburbs, but I got this text from my buddy that I want to read. Basically, every Hispanic person, legal or not, has completely stopped working in New Orleans. My friend, I'm going to redact his name, can't get anyone to do any work at all.
Why is Tucker Carlson's commentary on homosexuality significant?
He's a contractor. He's a ton of clients who needs roofs done. All the people he works with at other companies and cities say the same. I don't think anyone's thinking about the impact it's having on the economy of the Republicans here who are trying to run their businesses. Womp, womp. Then he sent me pictures of a random crew that was on a roof in the New Orleans suburbs. Mass dudes jumped out, surround the house for YouTube. Guys will put up the picture here. And Amanda Moore, who is down there as a reporter covering this, saw the same incident. I asked her what she observed, and she said that the only silver lining here was that there was one guy who refused to come down from the roof. And so they just left him up there and brought the other guys in, which shows you, I think –
The limits of their powers here. They don't have a ladder? They did have a ladder. I should have showed it to you. I don't think that these guys actually know how to use a ladder. They had a ladder, and they were holding it up, and they had guns. The guy was climbing the ladder carrying a gun. This feels unsafe. Is this really necessary to have masked dudes drawing down on guys in the suburbs?
There's got to be some OSHA regulations. Up on the roofs.
