ben shapiro who apparently was heartbroken by the results in california he's really upset let's
tune in so on a national level why should we care about california because what it actually
presages is not just politics in california what it presages is a question whether we actually do
want to remain part of the same body politic if we do want to remain part of the same body politic
we're going to have to construct a system of a federal government in which texas can be texas and
california can be california however california has to let texas be texas and herein lies the rub
because the federal government has no interest when run by that is the current system that we
operate in now well i i i don't understand how california could pre-sage a recall in california
that is exclu is about california voters only right it's not like the federal government came
in and said we're not going to allow this recall oh well how that presage is some problem for texas
to be taxes but peyton says that florida has to be california and texas has to be montana
he's already said this already i also feel like we had a lot of this fight about you know the
federal government and the states i feel like that question was sort of resolved 130 years ago was it
like clearly he's trying to take that up 50 years all right but yeah go back a little bit go back
a little bit brad bradley and let's let's um the state's right stuff is so lame and played out but
same body politic we're going to have to construct a system
of a federal government in which texas can be texas and california can be california
however california has to let texas be texas and herein lies the rub because the federal
government has no interest when run by democrats in allowing texas to be texas they would like
texas to be california and if that's the case what you're going to end up with is a fairly ugly split
between states that wish to be left alone and states that wish to run their business from
the top level of the federal government i think this is why you're hearing so much talk these
days about a quote unquote civil war or talk about secession or talk about the country breaking apart
it's a serious question whenever you form a body politic which is what happened at the founding
and what happened again in the aftermath of the civil war if you form a body politic
you have to decide whether you wish to remain part of the same country and if so what common
rules can you hold at the top level that everybody can agree to well if the basic notion of american
government is that the federal government's going to make all the rules and it's just going to be a
struggle for the power of the one ring then this country is not going to last this way it is just
not for the rings and maybe then the best hope for a lot of conservatives and maybe for a lot
of liberals depending on who's in control of that federal government is uh a friendly separation
that is what that force ages and not that california is the wave of the future but the
california and its polarization is the wave of the future and that we're going to get
i promise you in the aftermath of this real estate values in florida are going to go up
real estate values in arizona in texas and nevada they're going to go up because republicans are
going to continue leaving and maybe that's what the california politicians want so be it
they've been saying that forever this is to be a mass exodus from blue states jumbled yeah and
he's saying california is not letting california
california's not letting texas beat texas because california voted not to recall their governor
he's just upset because the republican party has cratered there because when
they had their opportunity which they had multiple opportunities
they've been rejected they got rejected because pete wilson was a uh xenophobic racist
they got rejected because arnold schwarzenegger's bs about you know uh you know responsible
governance and the way that he was talking about spending it turned out to be a complete
canard and bs they've failed they have failed over and over and over again in california
and this is not my assessment this is the assessment of the people in california
california like
there's not two-thirds democrats in california because you know millions of republicans
moved to texas that's not what happened texas incidentally is not getting redder
so we must have missed the first part of his segment in which he
claims that there was some sort of federal interference like maybe biting campaigning
for gavin newsom means that he is like these blue states are the proxy of the radical
abiding government and then the rest of the red states want to just go about their own business
he's like litigating the featherless papers all over again one of the bore i think it is
honestly just about like how can i generate some talk about the civil war how can i get into this
how can i get into where all the action is but not walk in the same door as the other people
that's basically i think what's great right because this is his new this is his creative
spin and his creative take on this even though we we hear every year some right-wing pundit
talk about secession oh my god i mean look there's and we hear them talking about like the the this
false premise of which states are operating um as their own governing body with states rights and
which ones aren't we don't hear peep about that when there's a republican in the executive branch
well i hear here if people if if if ben shapiro is really thinks that there's value or any
conservative talkers think that there's any value in uh red states seceding here's the first thing
they should be doing they should be advocating for return of all federal tax dollars that they get
that would be the that would be step one return those federal tax dollars so that
you can show your people and the rest of the people the country like we don't need
the federal government well they do that but only for extended unemployment for
their citizens that's right they'll cut that off the other stuff they'll keep
right that's a good point folks there's more of what you've just saw where that came from
