00:00Well, my, my argument is that we already have tools that are available to remove undocumented
00:07violent people from our country.
00:09And so the idea that you want to go into a zombie law, this is kind of like what we saw
00:14in Arizona when they decided to revive a zombie law around abortion.
00:18It is the fact that we can't trust this administration to actually use a scalpel, but instead they
00:25love to use a butcher knife on things.
00:28And so giving them this wide latitude to just kind of go across and just claim that
00:33anybody is anything is wrong.
00:36And so we do have courts, we do have processes, we do have laws, and we should just go ahead
00:42and use those.
00:43There's a reason that nobody else has decided to go back until, into Adam's times in order
00:50to try to find ways to make sure that we can keep our country safe.
