l parent that could become a rift that lasts forever and becomes a problem.

Now I'm not saying every family is the same. You know I think there's a world of difference between a stepkid that you get as a baby and the original parent was never in the picture. That's effectively just a biological parent for all practical purposes right? But I'm talking about like a stepkid comes in at age 12. Okay that's a different situation. And the real father let's say is still in the picture and involved right? You in that case the stepdad just you just have to step away. You report, observe and report. That's it. Observe and report. Unless it's an immediate danger. If it's an immediate danger then you step in immediately.

But I'm gonna take that analogy to a weird place. Our Constitution has a rule in it that you have to be born in America to be president. You have to be born in America to be president. Not for other jobs but to be president. Do you think of that rule? Does that rule feel appropriate or does it feel racist? Because it is racist I mean an outcome right? It's racist.

Let me give you an example. Do you think that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be a risky president in the sense that he would have too much loyalty to his native-born Austria? Well actually if we ever got into conflict with Austria I would be worried about that. I definitely would be worried about that. But you know we'll never get in a conflict with Austria not realistically. So why is there a constitutional thing that prevents Arnold from running for president? There's no real reason. I mean it just ends up looking racist in his case.

But do you agree with the general statement that people develop a love for the place they were born just ordinarily? It's just the most natural. I don't, must be biological I guess some of it is or a lot of it is cultural but people are very bonded to where they're born. So would most of you have, now given the background, would you all agree that the country is safer, and I'm not even talking about America specifically, or would you give any country probably is a little safer if they restrict their presidents to people born on the soil of any cultural background of course? Yeah most of you would agree with that as reasonable but a little bit racist but it's national defense and that's where we bend things a little bit when we have to right?

You, Elon Musk, perfect example. Would you be worried if Elon Musk were president if he were not born on American soil? I wouldn't. I wouldn't be worried about that at all. It just seems kind of racist that he's, but we still accept I think that a president should be born on the soil of which that president is the president. It just gives you that little extra protection.

This brings us to George Soros who was Hungarian-born but American citizen. Now he can't run for president. Are you happy about that? Are you happy that George Soros with all of his money can't run for president? It's just it's not even an option. I'm saying most people say yes they're glad that in this case they're glad that that rule exists because he did have enough money if you think about it. He did have enough money that if it were constitutionally allowed he probably could have made the grade. Probably could have gotten over the hump because money, I mean you can buy anything.

So we're happy about it there. But here's the provocative question. Why do we allow that same person that we would not trust as a president to donate so much money to activist organizations that they effectively control our government on those issues? Why is that okay? And am I being racist to even ask the question? Because I don't think it's more racist than our current constitutional situation. It's probably equal. They're both racist. I'm just asking the question. That's the podcaster's dodge. I'm just asking the question. But in this case I think that's fair to say I actually wonder why do we allow that? Why is it legal?

No I get that it's constitutional so it's not a constitutional question right now. Why do we allow that? We have all kinds of campaign finance restrictions but why do we not restrict something that is so important to us? It's in the constitution. It's built right into the constitution. It's so fundamental that you want somebody who's let's say biological connection to the soil is unquestionable.

Somebody says it's not racist it's nationalistic. That's a fair characterization. But I would say that almost everything we do has a racist outcome even if you don't intend it for that purpose. It just always does. So I don't think it's, you know I just like mentioning because it gets this one less thing for people to complain about right?

So I think maybe a Republican should run on that if there's a way to do it. Now it might be impossible to stop money because Soros could give money to an entity and say I'm done with it and then the entity could say well now that we have this money it's ours and we'll give it to this cause. So I'm guessing he could probably still launder it somehow and there's no way to stop it. I don't know. Must be a way to do it but don't even try you know if we're concerned about foreign influence so much that we can't have a foreign-born president you know. So we're so concerned that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't be our president who's worried about him being not pro-American enough. Or even Elon Musk. I mean who knows what Elon Musk is thinking. That would be impossible to imagine but I wouldn't be worried.

All right. Here's the answer to the question why I stay in California because people always ask. I'm just going to read this headline from Twitter. The nor'easter storm will bring a major snowstorm and potential blizzard stretching from South Carolina to New England. The storm is predicted to form off the coast of the Carolinas on Friday and move north up the East Coast across the weekend. A storm has brought the East Coast into its first blizzard warning in four years according to blah blah. Airlines have canceled thousands of flights. High winds, heavy snows between six and twelve inches of snow, one to two feet of snow in some places and maybe major power outages. At the same time people be freezing to death in their own homes.

So that's what the people in those states are doing. Yesterday I took a walk in the sun, had some legal cannabis before I we
