if. sean: or how about kids? shutting down schools. where do they go to get their education back or the small business other than who lost their business because of the economic shutdown. and it was her husband that went to put in a boat when they'd outlawed it, and he was breaking the rules. extreme and tyrannical policy, dagen, and now she apologizes. dagen: and over the weekend larry summers and mark cuban and billing ackman, beware those peddling panic, those hucksters of hysteria. didn't we learn our lessons three years ago? sean: yes, we did. dagen: kennedy, now. kennedy: and it is hysterical. dagen, duffy, thank you both. it is one of the biggest bank collapses in american history, now the spirit could spread to other banks and beat up the economy pretty good, but why did silicon valley bank go belly up, and who was responsible?

if as financial crises go, this one happened pretty quickly. in fact, it was only last week when analysts began to realize something was fishy. nervous customers then tried to get their money out, but they were turned away, and on friday svb fell apart like a wet paper bag whether it was because of interest rates or bad management or whatever else, that remains to be seen. but earlier today president biden said the rest of us will not be on the hook for the bank's failure. watch. >> no losses -- and this is the an important point, no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. let me repeat that. no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. instead, the money will come from the fees that banks pay in to the deposit insurance fund. kennedy: i'm so ire thed. treasury secretary janet yellen promising the fed will not be following the playbook of the great recession of 2008. >> during the financial crisis,

there were investors and owners of systemic large banks that were bailed out and were certainly not -- we're certainly not looking and the reforms that have been put in place means we're not going to do that again. kennedy: those two baffoons have so much power over the economy, it's terrifying. svb was the nation's 16th large bank. where lots of tech companies and start-ups kept their cash. some are on this list you see right there. it doesn't have a lot of small customers with teen first tiny checking accounts, but it does handle a lot of payroll. so the people getting burned are folks like etsy merchants. and now the problem is spreading. signature bank and a few other banks including first republic said on the viewing thing, so how can we protect our hard-earns money and make sure -- hard-earned money? if let's break it down with charlie gasparino. >> if i got tears in my eyes, i couldn't help laughing.

between biden and aunt bea, you know -- kennedy: yeah. they're in charge of our economy. we're screwed, i don't care what they say. >> these are the adults, and they're really adults. i mean, in age, not in anything else. although dagen kind of reminded me of that scene in animal house, all is fine -- kennedy: all is well, remain calm! >> that was kevin bacon. listen, here's the thing, you can't have three years of insane fiscal and monetary policy, fiscal policy is what comes out of government in terms of spending, monetary policy is what comes out of the fed many terms of printing money and interest rates. both were insane. both were, like, on steroids, interest rates at zero, printing all this money, buying bonds -- that's how you print money, you buy bonds in the open market. prices go up, yields go down. banks are infused with cash. but they did this to some enormous amount. and the spending was some e nor mouse amount. you can't have that much stuff, dollars sloshing around the

system. by the way, at a time when you didn't really need it, and not this seize r -- have these sort of exeternalties -- kennedy: and no productivity. >> and no productivity. so what happens? it goes into financial products in terms of risk taking that's off the charts because you're flush with cash, and you always have it. so in if my view, this is just the beginning. kennedy: yeah. you listedded two really important things there, and that was the unholy alliance of the fiscal policy of this administration spending money -- >> right, when you didn't need it. remember, we came out of -- 2021 we were coming out of the pandemic. kennedy: yes. >> businesses were opening up. i got my if shot, i went to wor- kennedy: and a few people like larry summers were saying we're spending. too much money, it's going to bite us on the back side, but then you have the fed saying inflation is transitory, don't worry about it. janet yellen and -- >> it's jerome powell. she used to be at the fed. kennedy: yeah. they were saying the same thing, oh, it's transitory.

and then they were forced to raise rates so quickly. a bank like this, why was a bank like this so vulnerable to rising interest ratesesome. >> so now there's some idiosyncrasies with this bank, just so you know, it was many in silicon valley, so it was dealing with those customers mainly. but it also, you know, risk taking is enchemmic. you're getting crypto, that's corrected. i know bitcoin was up a little bit. it'll correct more. amc, those crazy meme stocks, they're all getting smoked. heir probably -- they're probably going to get smoked more: housing values are coming down. you could say why are we raising rates. well, if you want 7% inflation for the rest of your life which will destroy society which meansst the almost like working during a recession, well, then take 7%. so we're going to have raising rates. hay may back off temporarily, but they'll probably have to come back. why was this different? just got off the phone with a

former svb executive, source of mine. they were particularly in some crazy businesses. they did tons -- their lending book was not hike the typical bank where they lend to a construction company, you do a lot of home mortgages, tough like that. what they did is they lent to vc firms, they leveraged up, they lent to other highly leveraged firms. and these lending facilities started to -- there was a crack in them where the people were pulling money out, ask they didn't have the money to pay -- kennedy: yeah. they lost their arse on bonds. >> now, on top of that, to make good for, that they had to sell their assets, their capital. the capital that they had to sell was with durations that means you have to sell them at the marketplace price -- market price which was down. essentially, you have insolvency. kennedy: okay. so if the fed keeps raising rate, we only have 30 seconds,

what's next? >> you want macroeconomic theory in -- kennedy: charlie gasparino's just the man to do it. >> if they keep raising rates, which they will if we keep having inflation, this is the beginning. i'm not saying it's 2008, but we're going to have more of this. this is what happens. this is what happens when you normalize. when the crack addict comes off of crack, the heroin addict comes off of heroin, which was the markets, they get the jitters. that's what we're seeing. ken and you also had mismanagement because they acted like that money stream was going to -- >> i know we don't have any time, but i'm going to leave you with this: why was this bank which wasn't handling aunt bea's, you know, checking account, giving money really to construction companies was doing these leverage loans to vcs, why did they have fdic insurance in the first place? kennedy: only 3% of the accounts were fdic accounts. >> what do you mean? kennedy: they were over $50,000. >> well, they would be because

they're major players -- 250,000. if they're going to take that type of risk, why does the fed -- and, by the way, they're not small. kennedy: no. but the federal government shouldn't come in every disaster, and they've got enough regulation -- >> why were they given bank status? a hedge fund is given bank status. kennedy: interesting. see, charlie's the only person saying this was a hedge fund operating like a bank. >> it's a hedge fund givenback status. i want that job. kennedy: let's do it. >> could you imagine our hedge fund? [laughter] kennedy: it would be very -- [inaudible conversations] all right. of course the blame game in full swing today. president biden taking a shot at, who else? president trump for rolling back regulations in 2018. watch. >> during the obama-biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks like silicon valley bank and signature bank. including the dodd the-frank law to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again.

unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements. kennedy: one trump spokesman pushed back and accused biden and, of, quote -- and out of control democrats for ruining the economy but his. rampant overregulation. the true culprit or the reason for the collapse. let's ask tonight's party panel, the host of jason rants show, jason rants. we've got deputy spokesperson and fox news contributor, marie harf. and the cofounder of base politics, he is brad plum bow. welcome, everyone -- pa lomb bow. jason, is it necessary to play politics right now and blame other people when we should have our eye on the future? and like charlie was talking about, what other aspects of the economy could be shaken by the fed continuing to raise rates? >> well, i guess it depends on who you believe, because on the one hand we're being told that this isn't that big of a deal,

that they've got it under control, that the banking system is strong. in a lot of ways how they talked about this reminded me about how pete buttigieg talked about a train derailment. oh, they happen all the time. when you send that message, it's supposed to calm us down that they foresaw this. but they very clearly didn't if they're also talking about regulations being the problem. they're trying to have it both ways. they're trying to keep the system intact and have our confidence level high, but they're also trying to play politics. and, you know, to your question, yeah, of course it's time to play politics because that's literally what they do. you and i, everyone watching can't stand it, we're disgusted by it, but for them to try to make this about trump, i guess i would say what haven't they a made about trump? kennedy: marie, they blew it on inflation. they said it was transitory, can't do take it seriously, didn't raise rates when that was warranted back when inflation started. it spiraled out of control because of the rampant spending, and now we are on the verge of

more rates. i'm sorry, but i don't trust this administration in the economic arena. >> well, look, when it comes to this bank, the problem was they took incredibly risky behavior. when they had to talk about it publicly, did that terribly, made people nervous, made people scared. and then you saw what happened in a very short period of time. and, look, a lot of these silicon valley tech folks are really opposed to regulation, but regulation in the case prevented a further disaster from happening. the government is helping insure that workers at these companies get paid on time. but, you know, it is true that republicans in 2018 rolled back regulations that could have foretold what was happening here because they rolled back regulations on small and medium-sized banks including on risk assessments that could have told us this before it happened. that's just a fact, right? we want our banking system to be secure. if we don't want a 2008 again,

we need good regulation, we need better regulation, and it's not just a wild, wild west here kind of situation that we should have. that always gets average americans into trouble. they're not protected under -- kennedy: yeah, but there has to be responsibility for the people running the bank. and the fact that, you know -- >> yes. kennedy: -- the hair the only imposed stress test is if you have over $250,000 -- 250 million in equity, they had 200 million. they were too busy selling their shares in the company and giving themselves bonuses. this ftx mentality that has taken over silicon valley, and that doesn't stop at the banking. you know, you have the chief risk officer talking about safe spaces and blogging. it's, like, a safe space should be a bank where your money doesn't evaporate overnight. but, you know, marie is talking about regulation. part of regulation is, like it or not, bailouts. if you know you're going to be bailed out and you're acting like the money train is rideable

forever, then why wouldn't you act irresponsibly, brad? >> the yeah, exactly. i mean, silicon valley bank is in this mess because of their very reckless and high risk decisions that heavy made -- they've made. we have to ask ourselves, why are they behaving like that with their financial future on the line, do you think? well, i think it has its roots in something called moral hazard. back in 2008 biden, obama and the rest of the gang bailed out banks bigtime -- bank -- and when you catch people when they fall, they're going to run a lot more recklessly. ma'am if the government said they would -- imagine if the government said they would pay for any car repairs. people would ding up their cars and not worry about it as much because they know somebody else will be to there to catch them when they have to the face the consequences. we're witnessing that here. and while i think it's good that the biden administration's response isn't a full bailout is and won't directly hurt

taxpayers, it is the being funded through fees but, ultimately, that will be passed on to consumers most likely. and ultimately, this is going to worsen that moral hazard by saying they messed up, but we caught them. why wouldn't people keep gambling, keep taking risks in the future? we are incentivizing bankers and the people making these decisions to keep on gambling with our financial futures by bailing them out when they mess up. kennedy: no bailouts. all right. the panel will return in moments! but first, president biden approving a huge oil drilling project in alaska. despite saying he would end fossil fuels. that's weird. progressives furious, does this mean it's the right move? we discuss next. ♪ ya know, if you were cashbacking you could earn on everything with just one card. chase freedom unlimited. so, if you're off the racking... ...or crab cracking, you're cashbacking.

kennedy: hello and welcome back. the biden administration today approving a massive oil drilling project in alaska. naturally, it's angering people on both sides of the aisle. s it is called the willow project, and when it's fully up and running, it will produce roughly 600 million barrels of oil every 30 years. and emit nearly 280 million uns

of carbon monoxide every year, killing us all. which has infuriated progressives because remember when president biden said this, remember? >> no more subsidies for fossil fuel energy, no more drilling on federal lands, no more drilling including offshore. no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period. ends. kennedy: starts. republicans are also salt i because the project is much smaller than initially planned. finish like my prom night. and the biden administration also announcing plans on other oil exploration in the arctic, so is this just a way to win some centrist votes in time for 2024 if he runs for re-election? because he's going to be 700 years old. joining me now to discuss, reason editor-in-chief katherine magna ward. katherine, are you delighted about this? are you upset that we're not going far enough? where do you stand? >> you know, i always do like to

see proifgs and environmentalists mad at joe biden, but i don't want to krill just to own the libs, right? [laughter] you remember drill, baby, drill. you remember that. kennedy: oh, yeah. >> and i think, unfortunately, the fact that this is political at all is really the root of the error. i would love it if oil companies were able to drill where it was profitable, where it made sense, where you could extract oil and expect to sell it at a reasonable price in a free global market. we're very, very far from that. but i do think in this case it's pretty clear if we're coming to the end of the era of fossil fuels, which i have been told repeatedly, let's and use some of that strategically reserved petroleum ors, right, kennedy? kennedy: we've only got four years to live, so let's fuel our cars in the meantime until we die. but you have brought up a wonderful point which is, you know, the president has the power to make sure no one, no

entity can drill or extract anything on federal lands. they have the power unilaterally to the make those kind of decisions. but it makes you wonder, is there too much federal land? >> absolutely, there is. and i think if you talk to folks from western states, you will hear that. it's really a big deal out there, and, of course, alaska, the federal government just owns wide, wide, wide swaths of that great state. no reason for the federal government to be such a huge land holler. this may be certain -- landholder. there may be strategic parcels, i'm not saying auction off yellowstone tomorrow -- maybe, but not tomorrow. [laughter] i do think the fact that we have in alaska this whole thing is, you know, on a lease system, and that meansst t just always trapped -- means it's just always trapped in this political calculus, at the whim of of the president, at the whim of

executive branch bureaucrats or all kinds of political forces we wind up not being able to make reasonable economic decisions which is what drill doing oil should be. -- drilling oil should be. kennedy: figuring out what we need to move our economy forward, to be prosperous. maybe that will fuel the innovations that come 10, 20 years down the road. we are not there yet, but we don't have a coherent energy policy in this country. it's like windshield wipers. it goes republican, democrat. if ribbertarians were in charge -- libertarians were in charge, what would we see 20 years from now in terms of our energy extraction, consumption and administration? >> i think we would admit that we can't see into the future in that way, that there isn't a single central planner who can say, oh, well, the exact right place to drill is three of the five willow project sites, right? like, what a political, weasely compromise. instead, you know, maybe we'll get our flying cars.

maybe it's the their all wind-powered. i don't know, kennedy. the point is joe biden doesn't know either. kennedy: no one's talking about nuclear. i wish weld --? >> me too. kennedy: that might be hopeful. we could tell china to piss up a rope, katherine. >> sounds delightful.

person. maybe they were nudist in the bat cave, and someone got bit on the koester k and then they went back to the the lab, they took a poopy, and they flushed the toilet, and the poop haze infected everyone in the lab and killed the world. yeah, sounds pretty natural. what is he hiding this time? the party panel, they're back, jason, marie and brad. jason, he's not open minded, he is -- there is a direct proportion between how defensive anthony fauci is and how guilty he is. enter yeah. look, he's in a position where he can't allow himself to be wrong because not only kid the he marry himself -- did he marry himself i'll to this position of it being natural, he actively stifled speech around any possible alternative. this whole crew of folks, and it wasn't just anthony fauci, but but you had a whole group of people who went out of their way to try to destroy people and their careers for simply

questioning what happened. for simply asking questions. which is the whole point of science, is to ask a bunch of questions and try to come up with an answer. he got in the way of that. and, of course, he doesn't want folks looking into what's been going on at the wuhan lab are, doesn't want people to know how much money was spent perhaps on some experiments that we were funding that was responsible for this. kennedy: yeah. >> he has incentive to push back. >> and you know what else he could have cone, i think, which would have helped his case, marie, is say there's actually some value to gain of function research, believe it or not. this may have been -- may have gone hosch by -- horribly wrong, instead he says it's a fabricated, made-up term by mental defects. >> okay, i'm going to take that as a question. last week the united states congress voted unanimously to -- i knew it was, i was just kidding -- to declassify the

intelligence and the assessments of where covid came from. that's a good thing. both sides of the aisle want to get to the truth here most importantly to insure that we prevent something else from happening in the future. i actually don't think dr. fauci sounded particularly defensive there. this is very complicated, and there is disagreement within the intelligence community, within our government. they're all sort of low confidence assessments, so we may never actually know how covid came about, and that's not dr. fauci's fault. that's chinese government's fault. they're the ones who are to blame here -- [inaudible conversations] kennedy: i agree with you, they prevented anyone -- >> start to right now. kennedy: -- u.s. scientists, the world health organization, their own scientists, any of their own scientists who spoke out about it, they were jailed, some of them died, some of them disappeared. they destroyed samples that were created in the first place because of a virus that evolved from the gain of function research that anthony fauci

funded. so if you go back a few steps, he is very much involved in this process according to the evidence that we have so far, brad. >> yeah, exactly. and i'm just, i'm astounded, why does dr. fauci keep doing interviews? why because he keep -- kennedy: because he's a narcissist. >> he can't say no to a camera, i guess. he just keeps digging the hole for himself, and this is why you have to push to prosecute fauci, because he acts like that's an outrageous thing to even suggest. but lying to congress is a crime. it is a federal crime to lie to congress under oath, and fauci has repeatedly testified that the u.s. did not fund gain of function research in wuhan. but we actually did, and we know that now. we funded it through a pass-through, ecohealth alliance, and funded research that most people would characterize as gain of function in the wuhan lab in china. if so he's just digging himself a deeper hole. and, you know, he may end up getting prosecuted because of it

if republicans take power. kennedy: yeah. i mean, they would have to take a lot more power in order for him to be prosecuted, but i think there should be accountability. you know, do i need to see the man sit in jail for the rest of his life? maybe, you know? stst t not necessary, but to marie's point, we need to make sure this count happen again. and that 419-0 vote took place three years after the pandemic started. where in the holy hell is the urgency from congress? they should be up in arms regardless of party wanting to get to the bottom of this this. would have been much better if we did that in 2020 or 2021, but here we are when everyone's come to their senses. all right, let's talk about something completely different. you're packing too much. would you take a bonus for if making people miserable? frontier airlines has confirmed its gate agents are being paid an extra $10 every time they enforce an oversized baggage

fee. they are incentivized to be unkind and to mess with your travel day. critics on social media furious about the news, but the airline saysst the all about insuring customers are treated equally, wink. so is it worth the extra money to the enrage your customers? you can make so much extra money telling people their bags are too big. those little metal compartments that they have you put your carry-on rolling bag in? no carry-on bag fits in that, we all know that, but they will now weaponize those and be the baggage police in addition to being a really crap airline, jason. [laughter] >> i'll be the controversial one. i like this idea. and here's why. first of all, let's be honest, people bring onto the plane more than they're supposed to the, items that are clearly not going to fit. and once they get on because maybe a gate agent wasn't paying attention, because i've snuck some stuff in, they cause a problem on the plane. and we end up being clayed.

you've got the person who's constantly moving other people's stuff so they can fit a bag that definitely won't clear, and then they say we're going to have to check it anyway. they're saving us all time, and i'll be totally okay $10, thank you, you're making sure that i'm going to arrive instead of 45 minutes late because it's spirit, 12 minutes late. kennedy: yeah, frontier. okay. >> frontier. kennedy: so is, marie, here's the problem. when airlines realize they can make billions more by charging a fee for you to check your bag at the counter before you even get through security, that's why people pack so much in their carry-on bags, because people don't have packing kiss the palin, unlike myself. -- discipline, unlike myself, very proud of that. but that's where it starts. it starts at the check-in counter. people would check their stuff if they didn't have to pay exor orb about the fees, but that's why people get testy on planes because they're worried they're not going to have a place to put

their carry-on bag. >> well, ask that's why people fly southwest even though i hate flying southwest with, because you don't have to to pay -- kennedy: well, you only fly private. [laughter] >> right. yeah, that's right. [laughter] you know, all those flights to football games, they're all private. no, i think the airlines have been putting a ton of fees on people, on consumers for years and decades, and people are fed up with it. i will say my parents are both watching, they watch the show every time i'm on. they will tell you i've been an overpacker my entire life, kennedy. i wish i had your skills. and i am one of those people that tries to get a suitcase on the airplane that's a little too big, but it always fits, i know what i'm doing. and those little metal things are not accurate, and i know they're not. so don't come at me with that extra $10, spirit -- or frontier. kennedy: keep those metal things away from me. i don't like it at all.

>> agreed. kennedy: i was talking to a good friend of mine the other day d i can pack for two weeks in a carry-on roller bag and be absolutely fine, and that's with four pair of shoes. those are my skills, brad, and i'm not afraid to flex a little bit on national television tonight. but people need to learn how to edit, and we need to say no thank you to the horrible airlines. what are your thoughts, dear? >> yeah, well, i'm impress filed your packing skills -- impressed by your back -- packing skills. airlines have their priorities messed up. they will bust you if your bag is a tenth of a pound too heavy, yet they're not policing -- they're policing oversized bags but not oversized passengers. it's still crazy to me that you can have somebody next to me who's halfway into your seat because they're morbidly obese, and yet they don't have to buy another seat. so you're stuck suffocating under somebody's fat fold for a 4-hour fight because they're not actually policing the boundaries

they should be policing with this airline, on this flight. yet they're here if your carry-on is 2 inches bigger than a little metal box. i think the airlines have their priorities all out of whack. kennedy: see, i love body positivity. i do not like flirting with -- i do not like when your parts are spilling over into my zone. [laughter] and you know -- >> standards are too high. kennedy: if there's a little cushion for the pushing, absolutely, have at it. i do think being too skinny is a great danger, but people who are morbidly to bees -- >> just don't wet on me. kennedy: no. and they take up both armrests and with the folds, they rest their little tyrannosaurus hands on the folds, it's a problem, jason. [laughter] >> yes, i suppose it's a problem. although i will say this, i mean, what do you want them to do at that point as a flight attendant? kennedy: jumping jacks. >> it's not like they're asking everyone's weight before they get a ticket.

maybe that is something i you would endorse? kennedy: maybe not weight, maybe bmi. [laughter] that's a casual metric. party panel -- >> the would you be okay with a muscular person? kennedy: yes, yes, i would -- >> you still only get to occupy one seat. kennedy: he's absolutely right. jason, marie and brad, you're all lovely and amazing. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thanks, kennedy. kennedy: and you all know i mean it. one texas bar owner fighting to save his business. his city is trying to seize it. eminent domain. boy, can they suck an egg. it's not new. it's not for a new highway, it's for a museum, and you're not going to believe the story. stick around, save the bar. that's next. ♪ ♪ when aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready, i was so excited.

kennedy: chuck dr. and i were married for several year, so that song is important to me. should government have the right to the seize somebody's property? san end tone owe, the, a bar owner has found himself in a fight with the city. vince is facing eminent domain seizure of his property. so they can build a $150 million alamo museum. he has rejected multiple offers including a $4 million buyout. hell, i'll sell the bar for you, vince. he says that that's not even close enough. the alamo trust says they can't go forward with the new renovations without his property. in a 9-2 the january vote, the city council invoked eminent e domain over the bar. they have a few months to negotiate a final deal before construction starts in june. where should things go?

joining me now to discuss, the owner of moses roses, it is a bar and grill, vince cantu is with me. welcome total9 show. >> hi, connect key. kennedy: this whole story makes me really, really mad, and i feel for you, but, man, $4 million is a lot of money. [laughter] what is your asking price right now from the city? >> well, i mean, i'm not really negotiating9 with the city. the city's only doing the action for the state of texas. governor abbott and lieutenant governor dan patrick are the ones really bringing the action, and we're not really negotiating. eminent domain, you don't really negotiate. i'm sitting around -- i'm, like, i've got a spotlight9 in my face, a loaded gun to my head, and i'm just waiting for them to tell me how much money they're going to give me or i refuse it, and we have another ballot of the alamo. kennedy: doesn't that seem a little ironic? you have said this is very sacred ground to americans but particularly to texans, and they are trying to squash your liberty and take your bar.

doesn't that seem a little insane? >> no it's crazy because last week we celebrated the 187th anniversary of the battle of the alamo. governor abbott, lieutenant governor patrick were down here giving their speeches about liberty and how great the alamo was and how we stood up against big government overreach at the time to protect our private property rights and our way of life, and yet 10 steps, 15 steps down the street they're using eminent coe main against my property and trying to take away my property and my business and my job and my employees' jobs from me. so totally ironic, completely un-texan. and practically communist. you wouldn't expect that from, you know, deep red gop texas. but, you know, miami sure that the alamo battle means anything to the anybody anymore. if they can come down here, like, march down here like santa ana and overtake my property and take it from me, then what does the battle of the alamo mean

anymore really? kennedy: well, that's a great point. tell me a little bit about your bar. how long have you been in business? what does it mean to to your neighborhood? >> yeah. i mean, i'm a fourth generation tavern owner in san antonio. my great grandfather had a tavern the, my grandparents had restaurants right around me. i was born four blocks from my restaurant, dis, you know, i'm a true blue texan. i've been here for my whole life. a little stint at ut in austin, but pretty much if my whole life. i'm a down the town guy, love doing business down the here, and i was willing to sell my property to the state of texas for the museum. i was never in my way, i've told them for six years i would sell to them, but they told me if i didn't adhere to their pricing, then they would hate of to eminent domain me or the last resort would be that. so i've been living under the threat of eminent domain for six years and finally they pulled the trigger and initiated it on

me. so i'm waiting around to be eminent domained -- kennedy: are they going to build a basement?
