I mean, I have spoken to business, small business owners that have already had to shut down their small businesses because they cannot afford the gas to move around and service their customers. I just made a surprise unannounced visit to the Everglades Detention center. And I saw how this massive billion dollar boondoggle is nothing less than a wasteful monument to cruelty. I'll share more on that as well. But it's a prime example of how Republicans waste their tax dollars on mass detention and deportation of people who aren't even criminals. (08:07–08:18)
