These are federal charges. However, 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: reports are saying that a Minnesota federal magistrate judge had 34 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: initially refused to sign a complaint to bring the charges 35 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: against Don Lennon. But now it appears to me, and 36 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: this is breaking now that a grand jury has in 37 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: fact indicted Don Lemmon. Anyway, the other Walls warriors who 38 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: stormed into that Baptist church on Sunday, you've heard some 39 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: of these names. Nakema Levy Armstrong, she's charged. The Department 40 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: of Justice says she played a key role in organizing 41 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: the coordinated attack on the city's church in Saint Paul. 42 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: Another name you've seen Sean Till Luisa Allen. She's also 43 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: charged coming out now.

Let's take a 46 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: listen to Levi Armstrong. She appeared last night on CNN 47 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: Cut twelve. 48 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 4: And I do want to correct something that was said 49 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 4: in the beginning. We did not rush into that church. 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 4: We actually went and sat down and participated in the service. 51 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 4: And after the pastor prayed, that is when I stood 52 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 4: up and asked him a question in response to his prayer. 53 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 4: Then and he responded to me. And then I proceeded 54 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 4: to ask him about Pastor David Easterwood and how is 55 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: it possible for him to serve as both a pastor 56 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 4: and the director of ice from Minnesota. And instead of 57 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 4: responding to me, as soon as he said the name 58 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 4: David Easterwood, the pastor says, shame, shame, And that is 59 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: when I led us in chance justice for Renee Good 60 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: and he hands. 61 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 5: Up, don't shoot. 62 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: Well, we'll see if it holds up in court. 63 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to because you know, we 64 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: all have eyes and ears. 65 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: We saw the video for ourselves. 66 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: These Democrats in Minnesota, though, they just won't quit. They 67 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: continue to instruct their constituents to put themselves in harm's 68 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: way and break the law. They are still still refusing 69 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: to cooperate with federal law enforcement when it comes to 70 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: removing illegal aliens from the community. Let's listen to honorary 71 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: Somali pirate and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye. Here's what he 72 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: said yesterday about working with ICE agents. Spoiler alert, he 73 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: will not do it. Cut number three. 74 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 6: You don't believe that the federal government is right that 75 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 6: the state of Minnesota. 76 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 5: Of course, through the governor's office, refuses to. 77 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 6: Give them access to the jails and prisons to collect 78 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 6: people that they say are. 79 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: Criminal and not supposed. 80 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 7: To be in the country. 81 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 8: I won't speak for the state. I will let them 82 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 8: speak for themselves, but certainly that is what they have 83 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 8: related in Minneapolis. We will not cooperate with ICE or 84 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 8: any federal agency around immigration enforcement work. We will not, 85 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 8: and there's a good reason, by the way that we 86 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 8: want and it's not just the moral imperative here, it's 87 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 8: also the fact that I want our police officers focusing 88 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 8: on safety. I want our police officers arresting perpetrators of 89 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 8: violent crime and preventing carjackings from taking place, and doing 90 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 8: that basic work of nine to one one response. You 91 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 8: know what I don't want our police officers doing spending 92 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 8: a single minute going after some father who just dropped 93 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 8: his kids off at daycare is about to go work 94 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 8: a twelve hour shift who happens to be from Ecuador. 95 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: That's Mayor Jacob Frye in Minneapolis. Let's go back over 96 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: what he said. Number one, still no cooperation Minneapolis and 97 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: for all ICE agents there on the ground, that is 98 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: the principal cause of all the chaos in Minneapolis to 99 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: begin with. Number two, he also said the police will 100 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: not help ICE, and we learned yesterday on this show 101 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 2: from Todd Lyons, the director of ICE, that if an 102 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: ICE agent, if a federal law enforcement officer is in 103 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: Minneapolis and they get attacked, which has happened many times, 104 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: if they get attacked in the street while doing their duty, 105 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: either by a citizen or by an illegal alien, the 106 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: Minneapolis to Police Department will not help. They have been 107 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: instructed not to help fellow law enforcement officers who are 108 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: under attack. Now remember Jacob Fry, the Governor, Tim Walls, 109 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: and many other people in Minnesota who have elected office, 110 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 2: who have positions of authority have received federal subpoenas and 111 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: an investigation to find out if they are themselves obstructing 112 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 2: the enforcement of federal law in Minneapolis. The big breaking 113 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: story in Minneapolis the Breaking News CNN former news anchor 114 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: Don Lemon, and a total of seven people have been 115 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: charged in the Sunday morning invasion of the city's church 116 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

The President 121 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: says he has secured a deal on Greenland. This deal 122 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: will allow for the United States to take sovereign control 123 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: of parts of Greenland where the United States has military bases, 124 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: and the Danish government will still have sovereignty over the island. 125 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: So it sounds like Trump came up with a win win. 126 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: Here here's how political analyst Byron York described it on 127 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: Fox News. 128 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: This is cut eleven. 129 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 9: Thought about it, and I have to say this was 130 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 9: kind of classic Trump, wasn't it. I mean Trump wants 131 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 9: something and then he asked for ten times that and 132 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 9: the other side flips out, and they go back and 133 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 9: forth and go back and forth, becomes a huge news story. 134 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 9: Finally they make an offer, he agrees to it, and 135 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 9: it's kind of what they could have got in. The 136 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 9: says they're wonderful people and happy to work with them, 137 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 9: and suddenly it's this dismount that we could predict by 138 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 9: how it's set up at the beginning. Yeah, I think, 139 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 9: and the other sides have because they think they dodged 140 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 9: a bullet. So it's just classic Trump. 141 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 10: Yeah. 142 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: Now, the President in Davos has also signed the charter 143 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: for his Board of Peace. This was the idea that 144 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: he came up with to manage the ongoing peace process 145 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: in Gaza, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio says it's 146 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: more than just a board. It's a board of action 147 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: when you compare it to what happens at the United Nations. 148 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: The President did make some extended remarks on the Board 149 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: of Peace. He also talked about his view of the 150 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: ongoing peace process. We'll try to bring you those comments 151 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: a little bit later. 152 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: In the show. 153 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: Back on the home front, the federal government may finally 154 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: be able to deport anti American radical ma Mood Khalil. 155 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: The Department of Homeland Security announced yesterday last night that 156 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: my Mood Khalil is going to Algeria. It's a reminder 157 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: that if you are in this country on a visa 158 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: or a green card, you are a guest of this country, 159 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: but not necessarily entitled to stay here forever. Khalil and 160 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: his attorneys argued for months challenging the White House on 161 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: their efforts to remove Khalil, who does have a green 162 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: card he is of Palestinian heritage. They said it would 163 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: violate the Constitution, but an appellate court decision last week 164 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 2: was seen as a victory for the Trump administration in 165 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 2: this case, and it cleared the way for his removal. 166 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: This is the Scott Jennings Show. It's common sense for 167 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: the American people.

Federal officials have announced this morning 219 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: that seven people at least so far, have been charged 220 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: in the Sunday morning Baptist church invasion in Minneapolis. Those 221 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 2: seven people include former CNN News anchor Don Lemon. And 222 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: that is an ongoing, breaking story. We're going to be 223 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: tracking that for the rest of the show. All right, 224 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: do we have Stephen Parr back on the line with us? 225 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: I can hear you now? 226 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 7: So sorry about that? 227 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: Hey, all right, look at that. 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: Hey, in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty six, 229 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 2: we're able to make a communication between two human beings 230 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: that can you know? If only Alexander Graham Bell We're 231 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: here to celebrate this, Okay, Stephen Parr, you're a meteorologist. 232 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: Is this the storm of the century that people are saying? 233 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Well, it's probably the biggest winter storm of this century. 234 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean, we are looking at a big ice storm 235 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: that's going to be coming through starting in New Mexico. 236 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: We're looking at a foot of snow from Tulsa through 237 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: Little Rock up towards up towards the east coast. You 238 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: can see by the time we get to done with 239 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: with Monday night, a foot of snow in New York City. 240 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: The bigger problem, though, is the ice. We're looking at 241 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: half an inch of ice or more from Dallas, Texas, 242 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: to just north of Houston, all the way through northern Louisiana, 243 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: north half of Louisiana, all the way through Mississippi, Jackson, Mississippi, 244 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: which really is not good at dealing with weather emergencies, Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia, 245 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: and again this ice goes up the east coast a bit, 246 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: so that the problem is the half inch of ice, 247 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: and that's where we can start looking at problems with 248 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: power adages. If you get a half an inch of ice, 249 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: it's going to collect on higher services. First, those are 250 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: tree branches, those are power lines, and it becomes too 251 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: much weight, rain drips off, the ice just accumulates, it 252 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: gets very heavy and it will break. 253 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 7: Those power lines. 254 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: And so what you end up with is power outages 255 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: that are on the same scale as hurricanes, but instead 256 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: of coming up out of the Gulf, they're stretched across 257 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: I twenty and it really is a potential where you 258 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: could have one hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of 259 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: people out of power. 260 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: Steven a couple of questions. 261 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: So We're going to have this massive ice storm, and 262 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 2: what's going to happen in the days after that? Are 263 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: temperatures going to rise enough to melt the ice or 264 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: are we going to have huge areas that are going 265 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: to have ice on the ground in the trees for 266 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: several days. 267 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: I think it's the latter. It obviously pens upon exactly 268 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: where you are along this path, but there are certainly 269 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: some places where we're going to be seeing freezing temperatures 270 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: for two and three days, and so the ice won't 271 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: have a chance to melt, and that'll make it even 272 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: harder to get that power back on. 273 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: Okay, that's Stephen par meteorologist who is with us here 274 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: on the Scott Jennings Show discussing in the upcoming ice storm. 275 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: We've got about a minute to go here. Steven, tell us, 276 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: if you are giving advice to people in the path 277 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: of this storm, what would it be. What do they 278 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: need to be preparing for and how long do they 279 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: need to be prepared to be snowed or I. 280 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: For the folks, especially along I twenty from Dallas all 281 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: the way over towards Atlanta, you need to be prepared 282 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: to be without power for at least forty eight hours, 283 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: and so you're gonna want to have obviously water. The 284 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: grocery store is starting to look like it's COVID shopping again, 285 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: and you're gonna want to make sure that you have 286 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: some food that you can cook without having a electricity 287 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: to cook it with. 288 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 7: And that's a problem. 289 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: So make sure you have plenty of food and water. 290 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: You might want to fill up the bathtub with water tonight, 291 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: just in case you need to be able to flush 292 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: toilets in case your city loses water. And I'm looking 293 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: at folks in Jackson, Mississippi. They've had that problem several 294 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: times the last couple of years, so this could be 295 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: another problem like that. 296 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: All right. 297 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: Steven Parr meteorologists from Storm Guides Live and co host 298 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: of American Ground Radio.

And when I saw. 377 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: Part of the Republican SI Committee group that day, you 378 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 2: all were on the brink of announcing the plan by 379 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 2: House Republicans to bring another budget reconciliation process forward and 380 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: to move several pieces of legislation and ideas in that 381 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: process to the House floor. And let me just start 382 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: by asking you from that day that we saw each 383 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: other to now, what has happened in the House. Are 384 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: we moving forward budget reconciliation? And is everybody in the 385 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: conference embrace this process that you all were so excited day? 386 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 11: Well, yes, I think the excitement around doing another reconciliation 387 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 11: package is I think something that this conference wants to do. 388 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 11: People didn't think we could get the first package across 389 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 11: the finish line, and we were able to do it 390 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 11: in a very short amount of time, actually, and there 391 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 11: was so much in the package, but there's still work 392 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 11: left to be done. And so the chair of the 393 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 11: Republican Study Committee, my friend from the great state of Texas, 394 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 11: August Flueger, put together what I would consider to be 395 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 11: a plan, and it's a menu of options to try 396 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 11: to address the things that the American people are still 397 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 11: struggling with. Certainly, we know that cost of living continues 398 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 11: to be an issue. The President has brought down prices 399 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 11: on so many things, including oil and gas, groceries. We're 400 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 11: looking at mortgage rates. Interest rates have come down, but 401 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 11: there's still more work to be done. So looking at that, 402 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 11: looking at healthcare, really insurance affordability, because we have seen 403 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 11: insurance prices skyrocket, and there was a lot of conversation 404 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 11: as we is during the government shutdown around the enhanced 405 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 11: premium tax credits. But Scott, the reality is that every 406 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 11: American is dealing with this untenable increase in healthcare cost. 407 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 11: The Affordable Care Act was supposed to make healthcare affordable. 408 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 11: We were supposed to be able to pick our doctors. 409 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 11: None of those things have happened, and instead we've seen 410 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 11: insurance companies reaping the profit and the federal government's really 411 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 11: subsidizing it, So I want to know what we're going 412 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 11: to I want to focus on doing something for employer 413 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 11: sponsored healthcare, for Medicare, for tricare, not just for a 414 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 11: small port of portion of Americans. And then you know, 415 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 11: there's lots of other things that are going to be 416 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 11: codification of President Trump's executive orders that are really important 417 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 11: to make sure that businesses have some certainty as they 418 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 11: move forward in the future. 419 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 2: Congress will advise paid maternity leave has been been a 420 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 2: big issue for you. Do you think something on that 421 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 2: front makes it into this reconciliation package or are you 422 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: looking at moving it in a separate process outside of reconciliation. 423 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 11: Sure, paid family leave, which is really what we're referencing 424 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 11: it here, is incredibly important. 425 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 4: You know. 426 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 11: I was fortunate when I had my daughter's many years 427 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 11: go to be able to take some time off to 428 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 11: bond with my girls and spend that quality time. But 429 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 11: there are so many families that don't have that option. 430 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 11: And what your viewers may not know is that the 431 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 11: United States is one of only seven developed nations in 432 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 11: the world that doesn't have some sort of paid family 433 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 11: leave initiative and So what I've done is really worked 434 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 11: to create a framework, a conservative approach to paid leave. 435 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 11: It is not a federal mandate. It's actually incentivizing states 436 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 11: to partner do a public private partnership to start allowing 437 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 11: these families with either newborns or that are looking at 438 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 11: adoption to take some time to be with those new babies. 439 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 11: We are the pro family conference, and we want to 440 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 11: sort of prove that with this paid family leave initiative. 441 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 11: And I think there is a potential for us to 442 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 11: be able to get that language into the reconciliation bill. Certainly, 443 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 11: as you know, you have to have some sort of 444 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 11: fiscal impact, and so we're trying to make sure that 445 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 11: we have that and it meets the requirements to be 446 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 11: in a reconciliation build. But we're really excited for the opportunity. 447 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 11: We've got tremendous support. As you probably remember, Ivanka Trump 448 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 11: sort of challenge took on this challenge when she was 449 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 11: part of the first administration, and we weren't quite able 450 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 11: to get that across the finish line. So I'm trying 451 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 11: to take it up and get it to the President's desk. 452 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: Okay, that's Congresswoman Stephanie Biss from Oklahoma. That's the voice 453 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 2: you're hearing, one of the brightest lights in the House 454 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 2: Republican conference in Washington, DC. As far as I'm concerned, Stephanie, 455 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: I want to get your comment on a couple of 456 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: breaking news stories. Let's start in Minneapolis breaking news today. 457 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: Seven people have been charged in this Sunday morning Baptist 458 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: church invasion in Minneapolis. 459 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 3: You've seen the video, I'm. 460 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 2: Sure, where these radical protesters burst into a church and 461 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 2: terrified the congregation and accosted the pastor and marauded through 462 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 2: a worship service while it was under It is not 463 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 2: clear to. 464 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 3: Me, by the way going on with Don Lemon. 465 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: I'm seeing conflicting reports that he's been charged, and then 466 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 2: some people are saying that a magistrate judge won't sign 467 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: the complaint. I'm not entire now what the status of 468 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 2: Don Lemon, former CNN anchor is, but it is clear 469 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 2: that several people have been charged. What was your reaction 470 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: when you saw that video of that church invasion and 471 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: what is your comment on the Justice Department bringing charges 472 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 2: against the people who went into the church. 473 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 11: Well, they absolutely should be charged. The Facet Act should 474 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 11: be applied to these individuals for bursting into a church 475 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 11: and disrupting this service. We should all be allowed to 476 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 11: worship and not have to worry about I think the 477 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 11: terminology that you used last week was the political vigilanteism 478 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 11: that we're seeing from these radical groups that are disrupting 479 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 11: a church service. It's really unbelievable, and so holding these 480 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 11: people accountable is important. You shouldn't have to have people 481 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 11: posted at the doors of a church to prevent somebody 482 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 11: from coming in and disrupting your hours or so of 483 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 11: worshiping and praising the Lord. So I'm surprised that this 484 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 11: even happened. It's actually really shocking to me, and I'm 485 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 11: very glad that the Department of Justice has taken such 486 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 11: swift action to address this, because, look, you know, we 487 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 11: don't want to see this across the country. It's becoming 488 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 11: too common, these types of aggressive actions, and it leads 489 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 11: to violence. Frankly, you know, I was driving here in 490 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 11: DC this morning and there's lots of people that have 491 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 11: these resist signs up in their windows of their homes 492 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 11: or out front in the yard, and I feel like 493 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 11: they're just encouraging violence, and we need to stop. We 494 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 11: need to take a step back and recognize that we 495 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 11: can have a difference of opinion, but we can't start 496 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 11: we can't ramp the rhetoric up, and that's what the 497 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 11: left has been doing very recently. 498 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not clear to me what they want to resist, 499 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: because all we're really talking about here is the enforcement 500 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: of existing federal immigration law. No new laws have been 501 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 2: passed since Donald Trump became the president. These are existing 502 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 2: federal immigration laws. We had deportations under all previous administrations, 503 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: including Democrat administrations, and everybody seemed to be fine with 504 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 2: it until Donald Trump started doing it, which, by the way, 505 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: is no great revelation since he's promised to do it 506 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 2: every day of all three campaigns that he's ever run. 507 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 2: And so I think what's happening in Minneapolis, frankly, is 508 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: a travesty and more people are going to get hurt 509 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 2: because of what these Democrats are telling their constituents to do. 510 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 2: Let's go over to Davos. The President announcing his peace 511 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 2: board today. Let's hear cut, nine guys. It's the President 512 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: upon announcing and codifying the peace board that he set 513 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: up to do the Middle East peace process in Gaza. 514 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 12: As everyone can see today, the first steps toward a 515 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 12: brighter day for the Middle East and a much safer 516 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 12: future for the world or unfolding right before you very eyes. 517 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 5: Together, we are are in a position to have any 518 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 5: incredible chance. I don't even call it a chance. I 519 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 5: think it's going to happen to end. 520 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 12: Decades of suffering, step generations of hatred and bloodshed, and 521 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 12: forge a beautiful, everlasting and glorious peace for that region 522 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 12: and for the whole region. 523 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 5: Of the world. Because I'm calling the world a region, 524 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 5: the world is a region. 525 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 12: We're gonna have peace in the world, and boy would 526 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 12: that be a great legacy for all of us. 527 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 5: Everybody in this room is. 528 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 2: A president is having some success, it seems in moving 529 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 2: this peace process forward. We're now in phase two according 530 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: to Special Envoy Witkoff Congress Flow Advice. So what's your 531 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: reaction to the developments on Middle East piece that the 532 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: President announced in Davos. 533 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 11: Look, it's a tremendous opportunity for us to bring everybody together, 534 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 11: and I got to praise President Trump for this. I mean, 535 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 11: you've heard some of my colleagues's reference him as the 536 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 11: peace President, and I think it's true. He was able 537 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 11: to bring together so many different countries to put forward 538 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 11: the Abraham Accords. He's tried to broke her peace deal 539 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 11: with Gaza. He doesn't want these conflicts to continue, and 540 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 11: he's really I think, stepping up to the plate and 541 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 11: bringing other world leaders together to try to find reasonable 542 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 11: solutions to some of these challenges that we're facing. We 543 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 11: live in a global society. We need to be able 544 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 11: to have tough conversations. But he has really done I think, 545 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 11: tremendous work in bringing some sort of peace and stability 546 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 11: to the Middle East, and we're going to have to 547 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 11: continue that. It's the work is not done, and I 548 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 11: know that he's committed to making sure that he sees. 549 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 5: This through. 550 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: The voice you're hearing Congresswoman Stephanie bys of Oklahoma, one 551 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: of the bright lights and great policy thinkers in the 552 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 2: House Republican Conference.

You may have 592 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 2: seen former CNN anchor and current anchor on News Nation, 593 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 2: which nobody watches, Chris Cuomo. Chris Cuomo, you've probably heard of, 594 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: a New York brother of Andrew Cuomo. He was fired 595 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: from CNN because he was doing things that violated journalistics 596 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 2: X practices by advising his brother during some political turmoil. 597 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: So CNN got rid of him, and now he's at 598 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: this News Nation. So he puts out a video yesterday 599 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 2: which I'm not going to play, but what he's mad 600 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: about is that. The other night on CNN, I got 601 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: into a debate with this kid, Cameron Cam they call 602 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 2: him Caskie, And you may have seen this on social media. 603 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 2: I was using the phrase illegal aliens, criminal, illegal aliens, 604 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: illegal aliens. That's what I was saying. Illegal aliens, common term. 605 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: It's also a term in the law. By the way, 606 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: this is what you call people who've come into the 607 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: country illegally. 608 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 3: They're illegal aliens. There's really nothing controversial about this. 609 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: And this little twerp turns to me on CNN the 610 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: other night and he says, you're not allowed to say 611 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 2: illegal aliens anymore. And I said, why, how do you 612 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 2: just had a curiosity plan to enforce this language edict 613 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: that you were springing upon me. By the way, I've 614 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: never met this kid before, don't know him, never heard 615 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: of him, have no idea who he is, not sure 616 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 2: how he got booked on a national news program. But anyway, 617 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: he shows up trying to instruct yours, truly, your host, 618 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 2: about what you can call people who are in the 619 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 2: country illegally. I'm going to call them illegal aliens. So 620 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: I dressed this kid down a little bit. So then 621 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: yesterday I start getting all these notifications. Chris Cuomo has 622 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 2: put out a video threatening me, literally threatening my safety 623 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 2: over this little fight. Chris Cuomo warned me. He said, quote, 624 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 2: don't be a tough guy. And he says I'm wrong 625 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: that we're not allowed to say illegal aliens anymore. 626 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 3: He said I was a bully. That's what he called me. 627 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 3: A bully. 628 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 2: Now, if you've ever watched these shows, I'm on, I'm 629 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 2: not the bully. I'm being bullied twenty four hours a day. 630 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 2: But Chris Cuomo said that Democrats and Republicans had already 631 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: agreed to call them undocumented instead of illegal. That's not true. 632 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 2: I'm a Republican and I haven't agreed to that. I'm 633 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: gonna call them illegal aliens. And you know who else 634 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 2: used to call them illegal aliens Chris Cuomo. In fact, 635 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: our friend mays More on X put together a little 636 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 2: super cut of Chris Cuomo saying illegal aliens, guys in 637 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 2: the booth. If you can cueue up cut two. I 638 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 2: want to hear from Chris Cuomo using the phrase illegal aliens. 639 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 3: Let's hear cut two. 640 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 6: You are either for American citizens or you're for illegals. 641 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 5: That is clear in his latest tweet. 642 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 6: He's one of the most well known faces when it 643 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 6: comes to the crackdown on illegal immigrants in Americas. So 644 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 6: what does the Sheriff Joe R. Pio think about children 645 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 6: being taken from the parents? Illegal immigrants are your enemy either, 646 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 6: They're just not coming in the country the right way. 647 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 2: Chris Cuomo illegals, illegal aliens, illegal immigrants time and again, 648 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 2: using the same phrase that I and virtually everybody else 649 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 2: with half a brain cell in this country uses to 650 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 2: refer to the illegal alien population in this country. Chris 651 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: Cuomo said to me on his stupid video, be careful. 652 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 2: You want to be a tough guy. There are plenty 653 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 2: of tough guys out there. Cuomo said, you want to 654 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 2: see how somebody can make you say illegal and what 655 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 2: are you. 656 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,479 Speaker 3: Going to do? Sue tough guy? 657 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 2: I mean, he had a complete and total psychotic break. 658 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 2: And then he said, and I'll quote, so, if somebody 659 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 2: beats your I'm going to say rear end. 660 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 3: But he used a profane term. 661 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 2: If somebody beats your rear end, because you're being rude 662 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 2: and disrespectful and causing division in the country. That's causing 663 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 2: distress and pain on the streets. And making people want 664 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 2: to hurt one another if you really want to be 665 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 2: part of that. As the expression goes, FAFO, don't be 666 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 2: a tough guy. Chris Cuomo joins the ranks of Keith Olberman, 667 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 2: who tried to get me murdered a few months ago. 668 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 2: Now Chris Cuomo is obviously encouraging people to commit physical violence. 669 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 2: I don't know what I have done to these liberal, 670 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 2: washed up hack news. 671 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 3: Anchor New York types. 672 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what I did to these people other 673 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 2: than one thing be more relevant than them, and that, friends, 674 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: is Chris Cuomo's major problem.

Actually, 707 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,919 Speaker 2: first of all, here's the reason you're here. You have 708 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 2: a new book, which I think is going to do well. 709 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 2: And by the way I'm hearing from people who are 710 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 2: reviewing it, you're going to come in the reviews FYI. 711 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 2: The book is called Five Bullets, the story of Bernie Getz, 712 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 2: New York's explosive eighties and subway vigilante trial that divided 713 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 2: the nation. That is what the book is about, and 714 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 2: we're going to get to that in just one second. 715 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 2: But I cannot resist asking you the question of the day. 716 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 2: Is I counted it just a moment ago have been 717 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 2: charged in Minneapolis, Minnesota with his church invasion. It's not 718 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 2: clear to me, Elliott, whether Don Lemon, our old colleague 719 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 2: can see in it is one of them or not. 720 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 2: I'm see conflicting things. Maybe you can clear this up 721 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: for us. Who has been charged? Is Don Lemon one 722 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 2: of them? And exactly how have they been charged? Here 723 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 2: by faving, I'm just. 724 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 13: Getting the same information you are, Scott. I haven't you know. 725 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 13: I can't tell you for certainty what they have. Now, 726 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 13: let's talk about sort of where you can be charged 727 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 13: for conduct like this and where you can't. Now, obviously 728 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 13: people know about the Face Act legislation past a bunch 729 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 13: of years ago that really seeks to protect people's right 730 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 13: and ability to go to church. It is a crime 731 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 13: to impede or get in the way of someone's exercise 732 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 13: of their faith. And if it can be found that 733 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 13: these folks were intentionally doing that, that's of course a crime. 734 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 13: Now I want to put a caveato. Here's me as 735 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 13: the lawyer. I want to put a caveato. Mat. It 736 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 13: gets tricky when you're talking about the gray area between 737 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 13: protests and attacking someone's church, right, Like, if you're a Catholic, 738 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 13: you're a Protestant, you're Jewish or whatever, and I am 739 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 13: impeding you from going to church because I don't like 740 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 13: your views. 741 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 7: Now, of course that's a crime. 742 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 13: If it's I'm here and even entering the church yelling 743 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 13: or expressing views that might be seen by a court 744 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 13: as protected First Amendment activity. Now, it's all going to 745 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 13: depend on what you know, what gets established by prosecutors, 746 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 13: and how the people you know, each individual protester, what 747 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 13: they're specifically charged with like there are reasons one can 748 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 13: be charged, but I just want to be clear, it's 749 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 13: it's really as a matter of bla not a slam 750 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,959 Speaker 13: dunk in either direction on this on this one. 751 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 2: So you're saying, you're saying, as a lawyer, you could 752 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 2: think of reasons why a group of people, an angry mob, 753 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,720 Speaker 2: could bust into a church and start accosting the pastor 754 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 2: and yelling at the parishioners. 755 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 3: And they might not have commits. 756 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 13: Just depends on exactly who and exactly what they did 757 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 13: when you frame it that way. Of course, if it's 758 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,439 Speaker 13: an angry mob yelling at a pastard, number one could 759 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 13: be an active trespass, right, and that's a crime. The 760 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 13: problem with churches, right is that they necessarily buy their 761 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 13: nature are all are welcome, so there's a sign of 762 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,399 Speaker 13: the dorses that anybody come in. Like, so one can 763 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 13: engage in behavior that I couldn't do at your house 764 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 13: at a church. I'm just laying out the legal arguments, man, 765 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 13: I'm not endorsing any of this. This is the kinds 766 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 13: of stuff that will use to attack their indictments of 767 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 13: in fact they're charged with a crime. But of course, 768 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 13: as even if we're even if we don't reach the 769 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 13: point of convicting people for this kind of conduct, certainly 770 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 13: entering churches and yelling or being disruptive, that's there are 771 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 13: better ways for one to make their views known, even 772 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 13: if they have a problem with Ice or even the 773 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 13: individual pastor who's at the head of the church. There 774 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 13: are just different ways to do it, even if even 775 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 13: if he can't be convicted for. 776 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: So according to the according to one of these posts 777 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 2: I'm reading here, it says one of the people charge 778 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 2: is named William Kelly. It says he's being charged with 779 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 2: conspiracy to deprive rights, which is our ceteral crime, and 780 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 2: violating the Face Act eighteen USC. Two forty eight for 781 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,760 Speaker 2: his involvement in the Saint Paul Church rights. I assume 782 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 2: that's what everybody's being charged with. Also, it is not 783 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 2: so there's these reports that Don Lemmon they wanted to 784 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 2: charge limit, and then there's other people saying that a 785 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 2: federal magistrate judge wouldn't sign off on it, but that 786 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 2: the Attorney General might be able to get around that. 787 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 2: It's just really opaque to me what's happened to Don Lemon. 788 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 789 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 13: I don't, and it's you know, look, it's hard. As 790 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 13: a general matter, it is it is hard to charge 791 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 13: journalists with anything. 792 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 5: It is. 793 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 13: It is a difficult issue because of the First Amendment 794 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 13: questions I was talking about here. Even if someone is 795 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 13: behaving in a way that some could see as disruptive, 796 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 13: it gets tricky to charge them with a crime. And 797 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 13: certainly if the world's getting shaken up by the fact 798 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 13: that there are a lot of independent journalists now, Don 799 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 13: Lemon being one of them, but he is still engaged 800 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 13: in the act of what we would broadly regard as 801 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 13: protected speech. It'll all come down to again, specifically, what 802 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 13: was he doing at the time of the conduct that 803 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 13: people think he should be charged with, and then you 804 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 13: go from there. So but again it's just not as 805 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 13: straightforward as folks are getting charged with entering a church 806 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 13: and then therefore it's absolutely okay to charge Don Lemon 807 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 13: with a crime. 808 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 7: Maybe maybe not. 809 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 2: Well, we'll probably get more details on this here in 810 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 2: the next hour or two. 811 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 3: We'll keep an eye on it. 812 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 2: That voy you're hearing Elliot Williams, you see him on CNN, 813 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 2: one of our legal eagles on CNN. Former federal prosecutor Elliott. 814 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 2: You have a new book out call Five Bullets.

New 842 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 13: York City was really, really, really unsafe at the time. 843 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 13: Crime rate was through the roof, homicide rate was through 844 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 13: the roof, and he did what many people sort of 845 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 13: felt they wanted to do and needed to be done. 846 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 13: Many other people saw him as a bigot who just 847 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 13: sort of opened fire on black folks. Very polarizing case. 848 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 13: We can talk about it.

I don't know how you 902 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,320 Speaker 13: felt about yours. 903 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 2: I enjoyed doing it, and I've listened to some of 904 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 2: it and it was interesting. You know, they make you 905 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 2: read it very slowly, a lot more slowly than I 906 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 2: would normally talk. And I know there's a there's a 907 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 2: technical reason for this. 908 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 13: Now, Well, here's the question I have for you.

I'm 914 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 13: refreshed and it just had a cup of coffee and 915 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 13: feeling good. Your voice sound it's totally different a few 916 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 13: hours later. 917 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you can sound different. And you can 918 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 2: also hear it over time, like if you do a 919 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,959 Speaker 2: four or five hour recording session, like you sound different 920 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 2: in hour one than you do that an hour five, 921 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 2: that's for sure. 922 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 3: So the book is about Bernie Getz. 923 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 2: This was this vigilante subway trial in New York City, 924 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 2: and you note that Gets, in your book, had this 925 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,760 Speaker 2: feeling that the elites were failing to keep folks safe, 926 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 2: and this in some ways led him to become the vigilante. 927 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 2: I sense this is becoming more common in modern politics. 928 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 2: Do you draw any lines between the Gets situation in 929 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 2: eighty four and some of the things we're seeing in 930 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 2: our current affairs today? 931 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 7: Elliott, absolutely, you know. 932 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 13: I think a number of the biggest, high profile, whether 933 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,799 Speaker 13: you want to use the word vigilante or folks who 934 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 13: simply used violent or deadly force in public and got 935 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,840 Speaker 13: celebrated for it, many of them had in common this 936 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,919 Speaker 13: idea that elites, for lack of a better term, we're 937 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 13: not keeping the public safe. Kyle Rittenhouse to some extent, 938 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 13: Daniel Penny, although he didn't really express many political views, 939 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 13: he kept his mouth shut quite a bit. Daniel Penny, 940 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 13: the guy who choked someone to death in the New 941 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 13: York City subway, who was having a sort of a 942 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 13: psychiatric episode. 943 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 7: The big one. 944 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 13: And this may come as a bit of a curveball 945 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 13: to you and anyone else listening to this, but Luigi 946 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 13: Mangione is another one who just felt that the existing 947 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 13: social order was failing ordinary people. It was actually and 948 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 13: again this is not anything positive about Luigi Mangione. It 949 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 13: was a horrific act and he should be punished to 950 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 13: the policy center, the law. But if you look at 951 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,839 Speaker 13: what motivated or anivated him when he's talking, a lot 952 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 13: of it is all the elites and the fat cats 953 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 13: aren't keeping us safe. Now when I interviewed Bernie Gattz. 954 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,360 Speaker 2: But Luigi, But Luigi was not under any But Luigi 955 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 2: was not under any imminent. 956 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 7: No, no, not at all. 957 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 2: I want to be clear healthcare Yets was on the 958 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 2: subway with people and he argued that they were in 959 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 2: fact threatening his personal and I just want. 960 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 13: To make that absolutely clear. It wasn't a self defense going. 961 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 13: It's more just someone using violent force and being celebrated 962 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 13: for it by millions and millions of people. Now, Bernie 963 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 13: Gets I interviewed him for the book and he and frankly, 964 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 13: no one has interviewed Bernard gets for a book. There's 965 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 13: there's other books have sort of covered the subject, but 966 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 13: no one actually sat down with him. He really sees 967 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 13: it as a failure of the system. In fact, you 968 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,799 Speaker 13: were talking about Chris Cuomo earlier a bunch in the 969 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 13: show and his comments about you Bernie Gets is obsessed 970 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 13: to this day with Mario Cuomo, the governor of New 971 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 13: York through the nineteen eighties, who he blames for like 972 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 13: eight times in my interview with him, including randomly sending 973 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 13: me a photo of Mario Cuomo on the cover of 974 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 13: New York Times magazine. 975 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 7: He just blames Mario. 976 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 13: Dude, Like, don't get me started on my relationship now 977 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 13: with Bernie Gets but because he's emailing me stuff all 978 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,840 Speaker 13: the time, but now just his thoughts. But he feels 979 00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 13: like Mario Cuomo was the face of of liberal politicians 980 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 13: who just didn't care and didn't try to take care 981 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 13: of the public. Right, And he still sort of lives 982 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 13: refre in Bernie gets his head.

We've been able to do that in Washington. 1150 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 14: We want to continue to do that here in the state. 1151 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 14: We were able to help on the border as well 1152 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 14: when that was needed. Governor Greg Abbott called on other 1153 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 14: Republican governors to send National Guard troops to the border 1154 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 14: because back at that time, we had a president in 1155 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 14: President Biden, who was not helping secure the border, and 1156 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,480 Speaker 14: so it fell on governors to step up, and Governor 1157 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 14: of It did a great job of helping coordinate and 1158 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 14: bring a lot of Republican governors together to put troops 1159 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,960 Speaker 14: on the border and really do, frankly, the job that 1160 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 14: the federal government should have been doing. Now there's a 1161 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 14: totally different mindset because we have a president who's actually 1162 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 14: leading and doing the job of the federal government. 1163 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 2: The border is closed. We've had narry border crossing for 1164 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 2: the last eight months. All the focus is really now 1165 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 2: on internal enforcement, and so here in Arkansas, I haven't 1166 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 2: heard one story about any sort of chaotic situation. I've 1167 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 2: not heard any stories about ICE agents clashing with local people. 1168 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 2: I've not seen any. I'm looking out the window. I 1169 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 2: don't see any rioting going on outside. I haven't heard 1170 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 2: of any churches being invaded. I mean, as it relates 1171 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 2: to what's going on here in your state and what 1172 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 2: the report you get on this every day, are you 1173 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 2: satisfied that ICE, CBP, all of the federal law enforcement 1174 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 2: agencies at play are acting professionally, doing their job, doing 1175 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 2: it efficiently. I assume some illegal aliens have been taken 1176 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 2: away from Arkansas from what you've seen, are these people 1177 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 2: doing their job and doing it in a professional and lawful. 1178 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 14: Man from everything that we've seen here in the state 1179 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 14: of Arkansas. Yes, and that's why we want to continue 1180 01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,919 Speaker 14: that level of cooperation. At the end of the day, 1181 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 14: we have laws for a reason, we want to enforce them, 1182 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 14: we want people to follow them, and we're glad to 1183 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 14: be able to partner and have multi agency coordination. I'm 1184 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 14: not saying there will never be chaos in Arkansas, but 1185 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,680 Speaker 14: from what we've seen so far. We've been pleased with 1186 01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 14: a level of professionalism and the ability to coordinate across again, 1187 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 14: multiple agencies. 1188 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 3: That's Sarah Sanders. 1189 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 2: She is the governor of Arkansas and we're in her 1190 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 2: office today broadcasting this show. Thanks for the hospitality. Let 1191 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 2: me shift gears to education ALEC. The organization just released 1192 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 2: its new Education Freedom rankings. Arkansas came in third, so 1193 01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 2: you're right near the top of the list. 1194 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 3: Sam. 1195 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 2: Where I live in Kentucky, I think we were forty eight, 1196 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,320 Speaker 2: not as good. The difference is we got a Democrat 1197 01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 2: governor there, we got a Republican governor here. What did 1198 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 2: you do here as a policy matter in Arkansas to 1199 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 2: create this level of education freedom for the people of 1200 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 2: your state. 1201 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,480 Speaker 14: Yeah, this has been the biggest priority that I had 1202 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 14: coming into office, was to really transform education in our state. 1203 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,960 Speaker 14: Just a few years ago, Arkansas would have been right 1204 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 14: there fighting Kentucky for the bottom of the pack. And frankly, 1205 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 14: that's why I ran because I was tired of seeing 1206 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 14: Arkansas be forty eighth and forty ninth and fiftieth in 1207 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 14: so many cre key critical areas, specifically on education, and 1208 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 14: so we really wanted to flip the system on its head. 1209 01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 14: And that's what we did through a one hundred and 1210 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 14: fifty page piece of legislation. We like to say we 1211 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,680 Speaker 14: were one big, beautiful bill before that was a thing, 1212 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,240 Speaker 14: and we didn't just tinker around the edges. We did 1213 01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,440 Speaker 14: everything from opening up universal school choice and we did 1214 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 14: a phase in an approach where in year three it 1215 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 14: is now open to every single student in the state 1216 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 14: of Arkansas. 1217 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 10: But we didn't stop there. 1218 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 14: We didn't want that to be the only thing we 1219 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 14: were doing because we knew there were a lot of 1220 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 14: different things that students need. It's not just about being 1221 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 14: able to go to a different school, but in the 1222 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 14: schools that they're in, how do we elevate the experience 1223 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 14: that they have. And one of the things that was 1224 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 14: really important was rewarding and recognizing our educators, and so 1225 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 14: we made the largest investment in public education in our 1226 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 14: state at the same time that we were opening up 1227 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 14: universal school choice. We gave every single teacher a state 1228 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 14: a pay raise of at least two thousand dollars. We 1229 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 14: raised our starting pay from being thirty six thousand, which 1230 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,920 Speaker 14: was at the very bottom. We were forty ninth in 1231 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,600 Speaker 14: the country. Now we're in top five, number one when 1232 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 14: you adjust for cost of living, and so to go 1233 01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 14: from a starting pay of thirty six thousand to a 1234 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 14: starting pay of fifty thousand, that's a big deal on 1235 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 14: a state like Arkansas. It puts us on a competitive 1236 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,160 Speaker 14: level with states like Texas, is in Florida and California, 1237 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 14: and that helps us recruit and retain a lot of 1238 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,000 Speaker 14: our best educators. We also gave merit based bonuses, and 1239 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 14: so last year we were able to award nearly four 1240 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 14: thousand educators with up to ten thousand dollars in bonuses. 1241 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,520 Speaker 14: And we're one of only two states in the country 1242 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 14: that offers up to twelve weeks of paid maternity leave 1243 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 14: for teachers, which is a big deal when seventy percent 1244 01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,760 Speaker 14: of your teaching workforce in the state is female. 1245 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 10: And so we've taken. 1246 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:32,920 Speaker 3: Care of the students and you've taken care of the teachers, 1247 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:33,760 Speaker 3: and it's working. 1248 01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 10: And it's working, and so that's what we wanted to see. 1249 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,880 Speaker 14: We knew that it couldn't just be a little bit, 1250 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 14: but we had to do a lot of big things 1251 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,120 Speaker 14: if we wanted to see Arkansas move up. 1252 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,440 Speaker 10: And we're really proud of the progress we've made. 1253 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,880 Speaker 2: That voice you're hearing Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckbee Sanders. You're 1254 01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 2: going to hold on with us through a break because 1255 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about your dad, who's former 1256 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 2: governor here now ambassad Israel.

He's totally exhausted, but he loves every minute of. 1280 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 15: It plane and he's so passionate about the people and 1281 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:25,080 Speaker 15: there and such just a I think, a steadfast presence 1282 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 15: in what is a very chaotic and difficult place to be. 1283 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 10: But he's doing. Chance to go with my family at Christmas. 1284 01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 10: It's time to be. 1285 01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 14: There and for experience and to places where he walked 1286 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:55,840 Speaker 14: to hear my dad explain and tell and why Israel 1287 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 14: is so important?

He knows people 1293 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,200 Speaker 2: in every corner of the country, he knows the history 1294 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,960 Speaker 2: and oh, with this Middle East peace situation going on, 1295 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 2: something that I think people couldn't have imagined. And it's 1296 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:37,480 Speaker 2: in this war, bring home the living hostages f or 1297 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 2: a lasting peace. That'll be better economic outcomes and security 1298 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 2: outcomes over there. You obviously were Press secretary to President Trump. 1299 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,800 Speaker 2: You work there in the first term.
