0:00.0 | Well, like all patriotic Americans, I have a deep reference, almost a religious reference for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. |
0:05.4 | I believe that we're divinely inspired. And suddenly I find myself thinking very serious about whether we should tear them all up or not. |
0:11.8 | Yes, I'm talking about alligator Alcatraz. Hi, everybody. I'm Bill Whittle here with Steve Green and Scott Ott. |
0:16.8 | And I don't want to be misunderstood about this. The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. |
0:23.5 | And it's pretty clear that Alligator Alcatraz falls into that category. |
0:29.7 | Everybody's concentrating on the alligators, but that's because they never lived in South Florida and I did for 25 years. |
0:34.1 | The reason I'm concerned that alligator alcatraz might be cruel and unusual |
0:38.3 | punishment is not the alligators, it's the mosquitoes. The Everglades you see is the largest |
0:43.6 | natural breeding ground for mosquitoes on the face of the planet. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's |

1:18.7 | He later amended that to say, well, maybe not vote, but he definitely believed they were canvassing. |
1:23.2 | In any event, guys, I'm one of the few people that I know that has been to Guantanamo Bay twice, |
1:32.4 | voluntarily, as it turns out. And many of the facilities at Alligator Arcatraz have the same |
1:39.6 | kind of look as Camp X-ray, just basically chaneling fences. Now, the beginning, the intro, obviously, |
1:45.2 | is being facetious. I think that Alligator Arquitraz is an excellent idea, and let me start |
1:52.0 | by asking you what you think about this. Steve, I got to know a guy who was one of the chief |
