i made reference at the outset to talking about texas and california. in fact, we'll put up what you wrote on the screen. i'll just cover the highlight that if texas were a country it would have a gdp that is tenth in the world, slightly ahead of canada. california even larger. they recently passed britain to become the fifth largest economy. did ted cruz also say that texas could take nasa, the military and the oil, to which my response is to say, okay, you can have nasa and the oil and so f far, but you need to take the debt, right? how would we whack the debt? >> ted cruz doesn't know what he's talk about, but negotiations around separations are incredibly complex and the constitution of the united states which basically makes any discussion secession moot. there's just no way to do it constitutionally.
