Okay, so every weekend, I basically say don't burn the place down.

And then you went and you burn the place down.

And when I say you burned the place down,

I don't mean people who listen to the show.

I mean all the other jerks. I'm talking about folks in Seattle burning the place down and Portland burning the place down. And when I say you burn the place down, I don't mean people who listen to the show. I mean all the other jerks. I'm talking about folks in Seattle burning the place down and Portland burning the place down and Oakland burning the place down and Austin burning the place down and Louisville burning the place. Just all sorts of fun happening all over the country. Why? Well, because there's a general mood and the general mood is the American system sucks and liberals are going to let the leftists get away with us. Here is the deal. Conservatives are not capable on their own of stopping the chaos that is now engulfing the country. These are liberal cities. They are run by Democrats. And until Democrats decide that they are done with this, this is not going to end. If they decide that they are going to simply allow the woke left to eat their cities alive, there's not much the right can do about that. President Trump can set in some federal forces

to defend federal property, but the federal government is not given the job, generally speaking,

of reestablishing generalized law and order in America's major cities. The tenor of American

federalism suggests that localities and states are responsible for ensuring that people abide by the law in localities and states.

It's not the job of the federal government to make sure that basic criminal law is followed.

That is the job of the states.

If states and localities refuse to do it, the predictable result will that everybody will be, that everybody who has any shred of money will get out.

That everybody who is living in these

cities is not going to stick around and provide the tax base to, quote unquote, fix the problems

of inequality. They're just going to leave. And then presumably they will be blamed by the New York

Times for not sticking around. You saw this a little bit with Joe Rogan over the weekend.
