Speaker 1: Of salt, and shucks. Just listening to the judge.
Speaker 3: He's next Chuck ing ramon fifty five krc DE Talk station.
Speaker 1: Shucks, but I'm bumped. Should have a rim shot in there,
Speaker 1: judge ended aup Politana, Welcome back to the About Theres
Speaker 1: morning show.
Speaker 4: My friend at pleasure, And you know, I used to
Speaker 4: grow corn on my farm, but there's so many of
Speaker 4: my neighbors do it that there's really no market for it.
Speaker 4: I mean, I have a neighbor who grows one hundred
Speaker 4: acres of corn.
Speaker 2: That is a lot of when he sells at all. Wow.
Speaker 2: So if you grow.
Speaker 4: Corn, it's really for your own consumption because the bigger
Speaker 4: guys have pushed the smaller ones out ugly.
Speaker 1: I don't know, never heard of corn on the cob day,
Speaker 1: No neither I. But Ingram's on top of these matters
Speaker 1: trivial obviously. My daughter has a small I call it
Speaker 1: a farm at five and a half acres. They just
Speaker 1: got bees, two bee hives, and that now qualifies them
Speaker 1: as agriculture, so I think it makes them eligible for
Speaker 1: some tax credits and things like that. So they've done
Speaker 1: her her fiance. I've just done wonders on their little
Speaker 1: farm at but the bee hives so fresh honey from
Speaker 1: the farm.
Speaker 4: We sell broccolini, shallots, and garlic. I have about six
Speaker 4: hundred pounds of garlic that'll be ready for harvesting in July.
Speaker 2: I have just two customers, you know.
Speaker 4: One is a hotel with a restaurant and the other
Speaker 4: is a freestanding restaurant, and they buy all this from me.
Speaker 2: Six hundred pounds of coarlic.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of garlic. Lord almighty, I'd love to
Speaker 1: see your farm someday.
Speaker 2: Well, someday I hope you will all organic.
Speaker 1: That's wonderful. That is wonderful.
Speaker 4: Well, if you spray, I know you want to talk
Speaker 4: about more substantive things. If you spray to get rid
Speaker 4: of the bugs. The spray consists of my grandmother would
Speaker 4: love this water and olive oil, really and that stops
Speaker 4: the bugs.
Speaker 1: Helpful hints from judge and an Apolitano farmer. Boy, that's amazing,
Speaker 1: Good for you, fun facts all right, pivoting over slouching
Speaker 1: toward authoritarianism. I warned you ahead of time that you
Speaker 1: know you're analysis of what's going on in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: and Donald trump'son deployed the National Guard and the Marines,
Speaker 1: which I understand legally are two completely different things. My
Speaker 1: understanding is that they they were there because the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Police Department's overwhelmed. They're under directive not to assist
Speaker 1: or ICE or anything like that. And I get that
Speaker 1: they're a sanctuary city whatever, but that does not mean
Speaker 1: ICE can't go in. ICE goes in to do its job.
Speaker 1: It's authorized by the federal law to go in and
Speaker 1: arrest illegal immigrants, like it or not, that's what they're
Speaker 1: allowed to do. But then they were attacked by rioters.
Speaker 1: Now I know most of the people there were just
Speaker 1: protesting their activities, and they're allowed to protest. But when
Speaker 1: you start throwing concrete at ICE vehicles and attacking them
Speaker 1: and burning federal buildings or spraying your FETA on those
Speaker 1: are criminal acts and they weren't able to get It's a.
Speaker 4: Terrible state of affairs when free expression of thousands of
Speaker 4: people morphs into violence of a handful. It is the
Speaker 4: duty of the government to protect the right of free
Speaker 4: expression to those who are not violent. It is not
Speaker 4: the duty of the government to clamp down everything. So
Speaker 4: One of my complaints is the shutting down of all
Speaker 4: free expression in order to stop that which is fomented
Speaker 4: by the violence. The violent people couldn't care less about
Speaker 4: free speech. They either hate the government or somehow think
Speaker 4: they can materially interfere with or start some movement against ICE.
Speaker 2: Listen. I don't like these ICE rays either.
Speaker 4: I question the constitutionality of an arrest warrant that doesn't
Speaker 4: name the person and that is not based on probable cause.
Speaker 4: They walk in and say who speaks Spanish and half
Speaker 4: a dozen people hide or say something in English that
Speaker 4: obviously isn't pronounced correctly, and they get arrested. I have
Speaker 4: a serious problem with that. But that doesn't justify violence,
Speaker 4: and the violence, in my view, does not justify the military.
Speaker 4: Because we have a limited federal government, this is a
Speaker 4: state issue that should be resolved by state authorities. If
Speaker 4: the state authorities want LA to burn, there's not much
Speaker 4: the federal government can do about it.
Speaker 1: Hmm. Well, Nancy Pelosi refer to them anarchists. They say
Speaker 1: these gatherings of large people will provide an opportunity for anarchists,
Speaker 1: and I think that's a fairly accurate assessment. You know
Speaker 1: there are people that do want to bring down the system,
Speaker 1: you know, hardcore Marxists for example. But fundamentally, I mean,
Speaker 1: doesn't the president have an obligation to protect the American
Speaker 1: citizen And if the local law enforcement, local government refuses
Speaker 1: to protect the American citizens from violelce, doesn't the Trump
Speaker 1: have some obligation or at least some arguable authority to
Speaker 1: do that by virtue of the National Guard?
Speaker 2: One word answer, no, fair enough.
Speaker 4: The matter of public safety is not a federal issue,
Speaker 4: not even arguably under the Constitution. Now, as Trump sees it,
Speaker 4: he's sort of the avuncular figure in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4: Protecting people where local liberal Democrats won't. I get his argument.
Speaker 4: He's obviously milking it for all it's worth. He would
Speaker 4: love just as Gavin Newsom would love to be arrested. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know what, the two of them love the confrontation
Speaker 4: with each other. But under the Constitution, health, safety, welfare,
Speaker 4: and morality is just a state matter. Now, you could argue,
Speaker 4: all right, the riots in LA affect interstate commerce. Interstate
Speaker 4: commerce is regulated by the Congress. Therefore the President can
Speaker 4: go into well, it's the riots of that interstate commerce continues.
Speaker 2: I get that argument.
Speaker 4: That's a big government argument, which I continue to rejects.
Speaker 4: An in violation of federal law can send troops in
Speaker 4: because he doesn't like the way local government is operating
Speaker 4: the government. What's to stop him from sending the troops
Speaker 4: in for any other thing locally that he doesn't like
Speaker 4: if it's not delegated to the federal government under the constitution.
Speaker 2: Washington hands off.
Speaker 1: Understood and agree with completely. What of the argument though,
Speaker 1: that attacking federal employees, ice agents, and federal property that
Speaker 1: that needs to be protected, And wouldn't that give the
Speaker 1: National Guard to the federal government authority when local law
Speaker 1: enforcement is not doing anything to arrest or otherwise detain
Speaker 1: violent people who are acting against.
Speaker 4: The stand that argument. So the use of the National
Speaker 4: Guard is tricky. If Gavin Newsom is commanding the National Guard,
Speaker 4: they can engage in ordinary law enforcement. They can arrest people,
Speaker 4: they can testify as witnesses or prosecution. They can interrogate them,
Speaker 4: they can push them out of certain areas, just like
Speaker 4: the police can do. But when Donald Trump is commanding
Speaker 4: the National Guard, they are prohibited from engaging in law enforcement,
Speaker 4: So he actually has diminished the role of law enforcement
Speaker 4: by sending them there. Had he just sent the Marines
Speaker 4: to protect the property and left the National Guard into
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom's hands, he'd have a much larger and more
Speaker 4: effective law enforcement presence on the ground. But he's interested,
Speaker 4: as Congressman Massy just said, he's interested more in optics
Speaker 4: than he is in constitutional fidelity.
Speaker 1: Fair Enough, the polls indicated, at least in large part
Speaker 1: with the Republicans, vast majority of like ninety percent and
Speaker 1: fifty high fifty percent of the Independence favor what he's doing.
Speaker 1: But then again, we have to, I guess point out
Speaker 1: what you're pointing out. Not everybody is in tune with
Speaker 1: the limits on the federal government as the Constitution places them.
Speaker 4: Very very few people are. Who was the last president
Speaker 4: to veto something because it was unconstitutional? The only other
Speaker 4: president has served two separate terms, Grover Cleveland.
Speaker 1: That was a long time ago, Brian, Yes, it was.
Speaker 1: Judge ennetor Platano. Always appreciate your legal analysis and breakdown
Speaker 1: and your commitment to the Constitution of the United States,
Speaker 1: the supreme law of the land. It's a pleasure having
Speaker 1: you on the program every week. Sir. I'll look forward
Speaker 1: to another one next Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Likewise, whether we agree or disagree, it continues to enhance
Speaker 4: our friendship absolutely.
Speaker 1: Oh real quick, Judging Freedom. Who's on, Oh, Colonel.
Speaker 4: McGregor at eleven this morning, not on Los Angeles, but
Speaker 4: on just how close are we to war where they're
Speaker 4: run already?
Speaker 2: Answer? Very close.
Speaker 1: I saw that the Supreme Leader just issued a death
Speaker 1: threat or an order to kill the president, vice president,
Speaker 1: the cabinet members and everybody else. Crazy stuff going on
Speaker 1: in the world. Judging Polytunn will be tuning in for
Speaker 1: Judging Freedom to look forward to next Wednesday. God bless
Speaker 1: you man, you got it right back at you, Brian,
