n into every big move. And cleaning up LA is a big move. They probably are just holding out for diversity and getting their cronies the jobs and figuring out some way to monetize this for the government itself. So I don't trust anything about the California government. They have not earned any trust. I assume that the reason it's not happening rapidly is just pure corruption. It could be incompetence. Well, bet it's corruption. And the corruption is they're trying to figure out, okay, how are we going to make it look like it's not corruption? All it is. I think that's probably what's slowing them down. I have no trust whatsoever in my state government.

Well, here's a story that I seem to wake up to every single day. It's like Groundhog Day. Here's the story. There's a federal judge who blocked something that DOGE wants to do. How many times has that story been in the headline? How many times has some judge done that? So here's what it should say. Presumed crooked judge blocks DOGE progress. Now we don't know that they're all crooked, but it seems like it takes about a minute to figure out that somebody bought their appointment or their daughter or their wife is working on something with USAID or there's just some nefarious connection or they've got a history of being a rogue judge. These are not normal judges.

And one of the things that Elon Musk says is if any judge anywhere can stop anything that DOGE does, doesn't matter where the judge is, anywhere in the country, he says you don't really have a government if any judge anywhere can stop, really be stopping Trump, the president. And that's a good point. How can we have a government when people who were not elected, you know, these appointed judges, I think mostly they're appointed, can stop anything from happening and they can just keep doing it all day long? So somehow we have to figure out how to get freedom from the crooked judges. Destroying the reputation seems like a good start, but only if it is honestly destroyed as if they have a conflict of interest they're not admitting to and not recusing themselves. Yeah, you have to go after that pretty hard. So I don't know what can be done, but we can't run a country if corrupt judges can stop everything. You just can't. So I would love to hear an alternative. Like what can you do? You can't really. You can't even impeach them because you need two-thirds and there's no way you're going to get that. So I don't know.

Governor Newsom made what's being called an about-face according to the New York Post. So California Governor, he's ready to veto a bill that's coming from his own party that would force the prison system in California to keep them from cooperating with ICE or the immigration people. So there is a bill in California that says the prison system can't coordinate with the people who want to deport the non-documented immigrants. But the good news is Newsom's going to say no. Now is that because he's preparing to run for president and he's just trying to look like he's a little bit interested in the border? That's what it looks like. Because otherwise I thought he was all in on spending $50 million to Trump-proof the state. But if instead of Trump-proofing it is making it easier for the immigration people, I don't know.

Now I will have the voice of Mike Cernovich in my head reminding us not to say good things about Democrats who can't be trusted whatsoever even if they get one right. So don't be too excited if a Democrat gets one right. It doesn't mean anything. You know, you still can't have them in charge.

Well, of course RFK Jr. got fully nominated. He got approved. He got all the votes he needed. It was tight, but JD Vance made up the difference and he's in. What did Schumer say about that? So Chuck Schumer goes in public, Kellyanne means pointed this out, that he goes in public and he says just minutes before the vote for RFK Jr., Schumer said that RFK wasn't qualified because he was never a pharmaceutical or insurance company executive as the other former Health and Human Services secretaries were. Did he really say that in public? He said in public that the head of the chicken coop should be a fox. Really? We'd like to put a fox in charge of the chicken coop? No, no, maybe not. Don't put the fox in charge. Maybe somebody who is exactly the opposite of a pharmaceutical or insurance company executive like RFK Jr. Yeah, how about the opposite of that? Is there anything that Democrats can get right? They actually are on record wanting somebody who would be the worst choice. You know, even generically somebody who was a pharma executive, that's the problem, not the solution. He can't tell the difference between the problem and the solution. No, that's the problem, that they're too connected to pharma. Weird.

All right. Here's a thing I didn't know about. Did you know that President Trump appointed RFK Jr.'s daughter-in-law to be part of the president's intelligence advisory board? Now that's interesting because Amaryllis Fox Kennedy is her name. Middle name Fox. She's a former CIA officer. She left in 2010 because she was disillusioned by the corruption within the CIA. Now how much do you love the fact that somebody who is disillusioned by the corruption of the CIA is now on Trump's presidential intelligence advisory board? I like it. She must know where the bodies are buried. I like it. Right? So that's good news. And she wants massive intelligence reform.

Well, Trump's going to put on the reciprocal tariffs today. I assume he's also doing some targeted ones, but it's a little unclear. So the reciprocal tariffs are that if any company or any country is tariffing us, he will tariff them back in the same exact amount. Now I don't know if that really works because usually they pick our, you know, tariffs are usually strategic to an industry where there's some imbalance in the industry. So I don't know if that works, but on paper it makes sense. And I think Dana Perino said this on The Five that the whole tariff thing we don't, as individuals, we probably don't know where it's going, but it's going to be real fun to watch. So that's kind of where I'm at. I'm like, reciprocal tariffs. And then I searched my brain bank for whether that's a good idea or a bad idea and I end up with I don't know. I don't know. You know, I know a little bit about economics and business. I mean that's my educational background. But I don't know. I have no idea where that ends up. But I do like that he's pushing the button. I do like that he's messing with it. So something probably could come out of it.

One of the things that Trump does right and just consistently right is he'll shake the box when there's something that's not quite working. Doesn't mean he knows how to solve it, but shaking the box is usually the best first thing. So this reciprocal tariffs, everybody gets a tariff, you're not exempt. That's a pretty big box shake. So it might turn into a bunch of little negot
