Hello and welcome to the Bullard podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. 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 Cal Samstein.

Move.

I got you first.

As I have been all week, I'm taking personal privilege to begin by talking about New Orleans.

The invasion of my city has officially begun now.

I saw images of the wee little guy.

Yeah.

A little Nazi guy.

Bavina.

The haircut and the hand signals.

She was walking through the French quarter.

I'll tell you, if any of my friends who are like Nader Ds 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 parts are actually happening. It's mostly out in the suburbs, but I got this text from my buddy that I want 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. He's a contractor. He's a ton of clients who needs roofs done. All the people he works with at other companies in city say the same. I don't think anyone's thinking about the impact that'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. We guys will put up the picture here.

And Amanda Moore, who is down there's 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. Did you see that? I don't see it. I don't think that these guys actually know how to use a ladder. They had a ladder and they're like holding it up and they had guns. Like the guy who's climbing the ladder carrying a gun. Like this feels unsafe. Like is this really necessary to have mass dudes drawing down on guys in the suburbs?
