1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Exciting for free speeches, Western civilization, and delivering common sense 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: for the American people. 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, here's Scott Jennings. 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 3: Okay, it's Tuesday, January the twenty seventh. Fly from your 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 3: nation's capital. Much of America remains frozen today. But is 6 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 3: there a thaw between the Trump White House and Democrats 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 3: in Minnesota. We'll discuss, and we have a live report 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 3: coming up this hour from Jorge Ventura of The Daily Caller, 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 3: who is documenting the radical insurrection on the ground in Minneapolis. 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 3: Plus later this hour, new polling suggests Trump may be 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 3: in better shape on affordability that many Democrats want to admit. 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 4: It's common sense for the American people. 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: This is the Scott Jennings Show on Salem, and today 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 3: we begin on the topic of Minnesota. Yesterday, President Trump 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: held phone calls with both Governor Tim Walls and Minneapolis 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 3: Mayor and honorary Somali pirate Jacob Frye. The President struck 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: a conciliatory tone in his readouts of the calls, and 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 3: he has dispatched Tom Homan. His White House borders are 19 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: to take control of the situation, and in breaking news, 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: it appears that Tom Homan has already met with Tim 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 3: Walls this morning. Now, Homan is respected by everyone. In fact, 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: he once earned a medal, a literal medal, from President 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 3: Barack Obama for doing such a good job at deporting 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: people and enforcing US immigration law. Homan's insertion into this 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: situation is a good thing, and it's important to remember 26 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: what the ultimate goal for Trump is in Minneapolis, for 27 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: it to work much the same as ICE operations are 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: working all over the country. 29 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 4: What does that mean. 30 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: It's very simple cooperation for Minnesota to give up the 31 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: criminal illegal aliens who were in their jails. If Minnesota did, 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 3: Democrats will work with ICE on transferring violent illegal aliens 33 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: from the local jails into federal custody. Most of the 34 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: federal presence in that city will dissipate immediately. Remember, the 35 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: build up in Minneapolis of ICE and border patrol isn't 36 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: just about catching illegal aliens. It's about protecting the ICE 37 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: agents themselves. Until now, Tim Walls and Jacob Frye have 38 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 3: ordered the local police in Minnesota to look the other 39 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 3: way when ICE agents are being attacked by illegal aliens 40 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: or radical agitators. Last week on this show, ICE director 41 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: todd Lyons told us that local police were ordered to 42 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 3: abandon abandon their fellow law enforcement under attack. 43 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: Let's hear cut two or Bettiette. 44 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 5: If we had the cooperation when our offices and agents 45 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 5: are attacked on the street, we want to see as 46 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 5: many people. 47 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 3: Now, let me ask you this, if an ICE agent 48 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 3: is attacked on the street, what does the Minneapolis police do? 49 00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 6: Right now? 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: I think an ICE agent comes under attack, say like 51 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: the story the other day where the agent was hit 52 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: with the shovels by the three Venezuelan nationals, the Minneapolis 53 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: Police department does not respond to help the ICE agent. 54 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 7: No. 55 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 5: And that's the problem with a lot of these jurisdiction 56 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 5: is they're pitting law enforcement office against each other. 57 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 3: Now, because of that failure to respond by local police, 58 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: DHS had to send more law enforcement to guard the 59 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: ICE agents who were already there. 60 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: Increasingly, those agents. 61 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: Were being attacked by illegal aliens and these angry mobs 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: you've seen on TV. But something, something appears to have changed. 63 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 3: Last night, for the second night in a row, rioters 64 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: found a hotel they wanted to attack. Two nights ago, 65 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 3: local police refused to respond, leaving the hotel to be 66 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: damaged and leaving one loan federal agent standing in the 67 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: doorway to guard the property and his fellow federal officers. 68 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: But last night, when rioters surrounded another hotel where they 69 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: believe the federal agents were staying, the Minnesota State Police 70 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: were deployed to stop them. 71 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 4: What changed now? 72 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: Remember just yesterday, as I said, Trump called Governor Walls. 73 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: And behold the magic of Trump. 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: Local police are apparently now coming to the aid of 75 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: their fellow law enforcement personnel when they are under siege 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: from violent, angry mobs. This is a positive development, and 77 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: let's hope this remains the policy. The next step here 78 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: would be for Mayor Fry in Minneapolis to open the 79 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 3: jails and let ICE engage in orderly transfer of criminal 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 3: illegal aliens, the worst of the worst, directly into federal custody. 81 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: Often these people are simply released back into the community, 82 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: where ICE agents have to catch them on the streets. 83 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: In fact, four hundred and seventy criminal illegal aliens were 84 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: released from Minnesota jails last year, and there are currently 85 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: oney three hundred and sixty illegal aliens sitting in Minnesota 86 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: jails today. This is Tom Holman's most immediate task We'll 87 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: see if Fry and Walls will cooperate. They have whipped 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 3: up a frenzied radical mob, and they have invited Antifa rioters, trained, coordinated, 89 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: and well funded into their community. You know, Democrats didn't 90 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: always think this way. In fact, let's take it from 91 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: former President Barack Obama on how illegal immigration should be 92 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 3: treated in this country. 93 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: Here's the president. 94 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 8: There are those in the immigrants rights community who have 95 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 8: argued passionately that we should simply provide those who are 96 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 8: illegally with legal status, or at least ignore the laws 97 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 8: on the books, and put an end to deportation until 98 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 8: we have better laws. And often this argument is framed 99 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 8: in moral terms. Why should we punish people who are 100 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 8: just trying to earn a living. I recognize the sense 101 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 8: of compassion that drives this argument, but I believe such 102 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 8: an indiscriminate approach would be both unwise and unfair. It 103 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 8: would suggest to those thinking about coming here illegally that 104 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 8: there will be no repercussions for such a decision, and 105 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 8: this could lead to a surge in more illegal immigration. 106 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 4: And it would also. 107 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 8: Ignore the millions of people around the world who are 108 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 8: waiting in line to come here. 109 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: Legally. 110 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 8: Ultimately, our nation, like all nations, has the right and 111 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 8: obligation to control its borders and set laws for residency 112 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 8: and citizenship. And no matter how decent they are, no 113 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 8: matter their reasons, the eleven million who broke these laws 114 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 8: should be held accountable. 115 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: Former President Barack Obama, I couldn't have said it better myself. 116 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: In fact, I'm having trouble saying it at all today. 117 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 3: I apologize for the frogginess in my voice. I'm succumbing 118 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: to the winter weather like many of you. 119 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: Last night. 120 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: By the way, the Trump administration scored a major court 121 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: victory when it comes to dealing with these radical protesters 122 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: who crossed the line. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals 123 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: overturned a lower court ruling that had blocked certain tactics 124 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: against anti ICE agitators. The Eighth US Circuit ruling allows 125 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: ICE to arrest, detain, and use pepper spray on some 126 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: of these violent radicals that they are encountering in the street. 127 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: Notable from the ruling, and this is a quote from 128 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: the ruling itself, the judges said, we viewed the same 129 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: videos the district court did. What they show is observers 130 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: and protesters engaging in a wide range of conduct, some 131 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: of it peaceful, much of it not, much of it not. 132 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: How is all of this playing with the American people? 133 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: Does the public still support the president's stated policy of 134 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 3: deporting all the illegal aliens from the country. 135 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 9: Well. 136 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: The New York Times Siena poll out just a few 137 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 3: days ago, overall, fifty percent of Americans support deporting all 138 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: the illegal aliens, including fifty four percent of Independence RMG 139 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: polling for Neapolitan News out this week, fifty two percent 140 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 3: of voters said they favored the Trump administration's deportation efforts 141 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: to remove illegal aliens. The latest RAFs MUSCIN poll sixty 142 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: two percent of all voters said they favored Trump's plan 143 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: to deport all illegal aliens. There is still public support 144 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: for deporting illegal aliens. Nobody said getting twenty million out 145 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 3: of the country was going to be easy. I hope 146 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: Tom Holman is able to find a resolution to this 147 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: situation in Minneapolis, but that resolution cannot cannot, in any way, 148 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: shape or form, be a capitulation to this a mob 149 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: that has formed to nullify federal immigration law. We cannot 150 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: allow angry mobs to determine whether laws are going to 151 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 3: be followed in certain jurisdictions. If that were to happen 152 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, it would be open season on federal law 153 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 3: enforcement in New York, Chicago, LA, and in countless other places. 154 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: If you give this angry mob an inch, it will 155 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: take a mile, thousands of miles actually, And if you 156 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: relent on the idea that all illegal aliens must be deported, 157 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: market down the border will be open again.

He is on the ground in Minneapolis. He's 190 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: been documenting some of the violent radical activity.

In the meantime, we 194 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: have some breaking news into the Scott Jennings Show. President 195 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 3: Donald Trump has made some comments on the south lawn 196 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: of the White House about Minneapolis. He was just asked 197 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 3: for his comments and his thoughts on whether there will 198 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: be an investigation into the Pretty shooting from this weekend. 199 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: Let's hear from the President. This is cut number eight, 200 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: Suci By Well, you know what, we're. 201 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 10: Doing, a big investigation. I want to be the investigation. 202 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 10: I'm going to be watching over it. 203 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 11: I want a very honorable and honest investigation. 204 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 2: I have to see it, but love it. 205 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 3: That was the President on the south lawn promising a 206 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: major investigation into the Pretty shooting from this weekend. The 207 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: President also made some other comments about immigration and who 208 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: he is trying to get out of the country. This 209 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 3: is cut number nine, the President just moments ago. 210 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 11: So we have to take murdering and drug lords and 211 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 11: people for mentally percusion that would dump into our country 212 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 11: through an open borders with Joe of the Democrats, Joe Biden, 213 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 11: and we're doing a great. 214 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 4: Job, all right. 215 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 3: That was President Trump talking about Minneapolis and the overall 216 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 3: issue of immigration enforcement. The big news of the day, 217 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: by the way, is that Tom Homan, who President Trump 218 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: announced yesterday was being dispatched to Minnesota to take control 219 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: of the situation for the White House, has apparently met 220 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 3: with Governor Tim Walls. Governor Walls's office has now in 221 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: the last few minutes issued a statement saying that he 222 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 3: did meet with Homan this morning and that he quote 223 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: reiterated Minnesota's priorities impartial investigations into the Minneapolis shootings involving 224 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: federal agents, a swift, significant reduction in the number of 225 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 3: federal forces in Minnesota, and an end to the campaign 226 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 3: of retribution against Minnesota. The Governor and Homan agreed on 227 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: the need for an ongoing dialogue and will continue working 228 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: towards those goals, which the President also agreed to yesterday. 229 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: The Governor tasked the Minnesota Department of Public Safety as 230 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: the primary liaison to home and to ensure the goals 231 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: are met. Now, inside of that statement, we could make 232 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: a couple of comments. Number One, if you want federal 233 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: forces reduced in Mennesota, reduced in Minneapolis, it's very simple. 234 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 3: Cooperation in the city and county jails is all that's required. 235 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 3: That's all that has ever been required. The federal government 236 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: has been begging for months for Minneapolis to open the 237 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: jails and to turn over the criminal illegal aliens that 238 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: are in the jails. There's like nearly fourteen hundred of 239 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 3: them in the jails right now. Last year, Minnesota jails 240 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: let four or four hundred people, criminal illegal aliens out 241 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: into the community. You got to stop doing that, and 242 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: you've got to have these orderly transfers in the jails. 243 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: That's the most immediate way that you would reduce the 244 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 3: federal presence in Minnesota. What else did they say here 245 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: the end of the campaign of retribution? Strong words from 246 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: somebody who has compared the enforcement of federal immigration law 247 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: to the Battle of Getty's b and the Diary of 248 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: Anne Frank, which was one of the craziest things that's 249 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: been said in this whole ordeal. It is amazing to me, 250 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: by the way that after all of this, in this 251 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 3: meeting this morning here on January twenty seventh, twenty twenty six, 252 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 3: Tim Wall said. 253 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 4: Well, I reiterated what I want. 254 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: I want federal agents to go away, as though he's 255 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: never been told, as though he's never heard that the 256 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: way to make them go away is to open the 257 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 3: jails to cooperate. This is happening in cities and states 258 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: around the country. Now Wall says, well, we are cooperating 259 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: in the state prisons. Okay, that's not where the criminal 260 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: aliens are being picked up. They're in the city in 261 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 3: county jails. And he knows that, and Jacob Fry, the 262 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: mayor of Minneapolis, knows that the ball is in their court. 263 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: Will they open the jails and permit an orderly transfer 264 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 3: of criminal aliens from city and county jails over to 265 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 3: federal officials. That's really the only question here. If they 266 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 3: will answer that question, the affirmative the federal footprint would 267 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 3: be reduced.

He's gotten some cooperation, 324 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 6: which is what he wanted all the time. You know, 325 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 6: we with two percent of ice arrests occur in Minnesota 326 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 6: and twenty two percent of the mccurr in Texas. We 327 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 6: don't see anything like this coming out of Texas. We 328 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 6: just keep seeing it coming out of the Twin Cities. 329 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 6: And why is that? You know, when I worked for 330 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 6: Trump the last time, I was the Press secretary for 331 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 6: the now the Department of War at that time it 332 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 6: was the Department of Defense, and that was twenty twenty, 333 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 6: and we watched, you know, Summer of Riots just sweep America, Washington, 334 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 6: d C. I'm sure you remember this guy. I mean, 335 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 6: it was boarded up like a hurricane was coming. Everything 336 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 6: from Tiffany's to Starbucks had plywood on all of the windows. 337 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 6: It was a complete, you know, it was complete disaster zone. 338 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 6: And the whole country was slipping like that. But if 339 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 6: you think back to where that all started, George Floyd, Minneapolis. Yeah, 340 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 6: there's a common thread here. So the president has you know, 341 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 6: he's he's he's moved swiftly there, and he's gotten both 342 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 6: the governor and the mayor to begin negotiations, and I 343 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 6: think it's it's a smart strategy, it's what has to happen. 344 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see, We'll see how it develops. Tom Holman 345 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: is there now. He met with Governor Wallas this morning. 346 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 3: No word on whether he's met with Minneapolis Mayor Fry. 347 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 3: The quickest thing they could do is open the jails, 348 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: and that would begin to get the illegal alien transfer 349 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 3: from the jails to the federal custody. That would, of 350 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 3: course reduce the ICE footprint. But we'll see. We'll keep 351 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: tracking the news on that. I suspect Tom Holman is 352 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 3: there to move quickly and Morgan, I want to get 353 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: into some national security topics with you, But before we do, 354 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: why don't you tell us about yourself a little bit. 355 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 3: How did you get from the US Navy to the 356 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 3: White House to running for the US Senate in Alabama. 357 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 6: Well, you know, I actually started my career as a 358 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 6: magazine of all things. I worked at Forbes and Vanity 359 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 6: Fair back in the nineties, and then became executive editor 360 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 6: of Southern Living. I joined the Navy Reserve in nineteen 361 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 6: ninety nine, twenty six years in the Navy because I 362 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 6: love the country so I was activated three times, including 363 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 6: once to Afghanistan. But it was in the teens that 364 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 6: I began to say, like, what's going on with this country. 365 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 6: I was sitting in my kitchen every morning kind of 366 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 6: cussing out the news, just watching the great institutions of 367 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 6: my life, the ones I grew up with, start to crumble, 368 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 6: and I said to myself, like, you know, normal people 369 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 6: don't go to Washington and fight this. We're going to 370 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 6: lose the country. And I really believe that in the 371 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 6: past ten years, we've seen a great, great movement on 372 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 6: the leftist side of the country moved to overtake all 373 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 6: of the levers of power they already have. I mean, 374 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 6: as you know, more than anybody. They've got the media, 375 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 6: They've gotten you know, entertainment, they have big tech, they 376 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 6: have higher education, they even have you know, a lot 377 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 6: of mainline Protestant centers of learning. And I really felt 378 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 6: like they've captured the major institutions of our government. We 379 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 6: saw the IRS, the FBI, the CIA all try to 380 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 6: take down a sitting president. So I went up to 381 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 6: d C to fight, and my first bosses were Chris Miller, 382 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 6: the Secretary of Defense, and Cash Patel and now, Director 383 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 6: Patel told me after, you know, I think the election 384 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 6: was stolen the twenty twenties at Morgan, you need to 385 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 6: stay in d C and fight. So I went to 386 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 6: work for Tommy Tuberville, Senator tubul from Alabama. I was 387 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 6: his national security advisor. Really proud to work with coach, 388 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 6: and then joined the second Trump administration helping with the Ukraine, 389 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 6: probably the worst portfolio in the White House, the Ukraine 390 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 6: Russia conflict. 391 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: So I should have mentioned at the top the reason 392 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 3: you're running for the US Senate is that Tommy Tuberville, 393 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: US Senator is actually running for governor, opening up a 394 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: seat there. So that's the reason you're in this race. 395 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 3: And I want to go into my next set of 396 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 3: questions for you here that all are in your area 397 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: of expertise national security. 398 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 4: That was the kind of job you had in the 399 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 4: White House. 400 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: I want to start with Iran and I want to 401 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: play a clip here of the President. He did a 402 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 3: radio interview in New York City this morning. He was 403 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 3: on the Sid Rosenberg Show in New York today. This 404 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 3: is what the President had to say. I guess he 405 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 3: was asked by Sid about sending a military build up 406 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 3: towards Iran. 407 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 4: Here's the president cut six. 408 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 10: We have a big armada going over there right now, 409 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 10: and hopefully we won't have to use it. But it's 410 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 10: very powerful, bigger than what we have in Venezuela that 411 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 10: we said over that worked out so well, and the 412 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 10: leadership there is doing a very good job coordinating with 413 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 10: us and anything else. But we have a big armada 414 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 10: going over there and we'll. 415 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 6: See, hopefully we won't have to use it. 416 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: Morgan, when you hear the president and you know the 417 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 3: situation going on in Iran right now, with the protesters 418 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: being slaughtered in the streets, what would your advice be 419 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: to the administration? Is it time for a military intervention? 420 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: You know? 421 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 6: I think when the president's sending an armada like that, 422 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 6: he's sending a carrier strike group. And when you put 423 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 6: four sovereign acres of US territory off the coast of 424 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 6: almost any country, it tends to get people's attention. I mean, 425 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 6: are just one of our carriers, we have eleven, Just 426 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 6: one of them hosts more firepower than most European countries. 427 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 6: It is an awesome thing to behold. And the technical 428 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 6: know how of our military, as we saw in Venezuela 429 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 6: is incredible. I mean, Venezuela showed that Chinese hardware is 430 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 6: just junk, right, does not pay to get your military 431 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 6: hardware off of t move. The United States military just 432 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 6: ripped through that. And I think if or the iatol 433 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 6: of you know, you're watching that thinking, you know, the 434 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 6: United States could take me out in a flash. So 435 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 6: I think the President is right. My advice would be 436 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 6: to move in the show of support. This is an 437 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 6: organic revolution. This isn't something started by the CIA. We 438 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 6: see hundreds of thousands of Granians taking to the streets. 439 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 6: You know, the former Crown Prince is cutting videos and 440 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 6: encouraging the military to defect. So we're right at I 441 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 6: think the tipping point. And how powerful for the American 442 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 6: President to voice his support for freedom and then show 443 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 6: it with a carrier strike group right there in the Gulf. 444 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 4: Hey, voyceer hearing Morgan Murphy from Alabama. 445 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 3: Former Trump White House National Security official and candidate for 446 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 3: the United States Senate. Morgan, you served in the White House, 447 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 3: has had a public diplomacy for the President's Special envoy 448 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 3: to Ukraine in Russia. So solving the Ukraine Russia conflict, 449 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 3: this is your area of expertise. 450 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 4: Where do you think we are in this. 451 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: This has kind of gotten shoved at the back pages 452 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: because of other situations in the world. Is there any 453 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 3: hope to get a piece deal between Russia and Ukraine 454 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 3: this year? 455 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 6: I think there is, and you know, with Witkoff leading 456 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 6: the charge right now and the President's direct involvement, and 457 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 6: then they had a trilateral this last weekend. You know, 458 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 6: the trilateral is fancy Washington speak for all three parties 459 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 6: sitting down and talking. And that's what the President does 460 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 6: so remarkably well. It gets people to talk. And we 461 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 6: think back to Biden. I mean, this is a war, 462 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 6: the largest war in Europe, raged on for three years 463 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 6: under Biden and he didn't even he didn't even talk, 464 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 6: not once to putin Well, this president talks, and folks 465 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 6: criticized as well, it's not it hadn't gone anywhere, It 466 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 6: hasn't delivered, you know, an end or a ceasefire in 467 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 6: the war or and yes, but you know, we're a 468 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 6: lot closer to it than we were for the past 469 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 6: three years under old sleepy Joe. So I'm encouraged both sides. 470 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 6: I mean, you can lead a horse to water as 471 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 6: the old saying goes, but you can't make him drink. 472 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 6: But both sides have been given ample reason to stop 473 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 6: the fighting. Even my liberal friends acknowledge, like no president 474 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 6: has done more or offered a better deal to Putin. 475 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 6: I mean he said to Putin, like, Look, we'll let 476 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 6: you back in the G seven. We'll make it the 477 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 6: G eight, will normalize relations with you. Russia is really 478 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 6: not our enemy. We'll buy oil again from you, We'll 479 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 6: put you back into the global markets. We'll recognize that 480 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 6: the territory you've seized, that you that you occupy it, 481 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 6: we'll do a de facto recognition of that. Uh, and 482 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 6: we'll bring you back into the global community. That's what 483 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 6: my granddad was a judge, and he always said, Morgan, 484 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 6: you got to leave your opponent room to save face. 485 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 6: And he's left Putin room to save face and bring 486 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 6: peace to this war. And it's a really tough spot 487 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 6: for Ukraine. Ukraine just does not have and I hate 488 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 6: to say this, but it's the truth. Ukraine does not 489 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 6: have the combat power to regain the territory it's lost, 490 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 6: not unless Europe commits troops. And they don't seem anywhere 491 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 6: close to doing that. 492 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're right about that. 493 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: You've got to give both leaders of both countries a 494 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 3: way to go home and declare victory in some way. 495 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 3: You're not going to see putin waiting a white flag. 496 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 3: You don't want Zelensky to have to do that. They all, 497 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 3: after all, we're the victims in this war. So well, 498 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 3: we'll pray for peace in that situation. It's been vexing 499 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 3: the president, I know. Let me quickly get your opinion 500 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 3: on Greenland. President Trump's been negotiating expanded access to Greenland's territory, 501 00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: especially around American military bases. From a national security stand point, 502 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 3: how important is this Greenland play to overall US military security? 503 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 6: You know, Greenland plays a vital role in our national security. 504 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 6: So when you look at our radar arrays, right, so 505 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 6: when you look at our missile defense, and we've we've 506 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 6: been running missile defense here in this country for forty 507 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 6: years and a partnership with Canada, and so our radar 508 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 6: arrays are in Canada, they're in Alaska, and they're all 509 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 6: looking north. And Greenland is right at the at the 510 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 6: top of the apogee when a missile comes over, and 511 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 6: so it could play a very vital role in not 512 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 6: only missile defense Trump's new Golden Dome proposal, but also 513 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 6: in critical rare earths heavy rarers, of which China controls 514 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 6: ninety percent of the world's processing. The President recognizes that 515 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 6: that's an untenable situation and we have got to fix that. 516 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 6: And he's looking at Greenland and the resources that are there, 517 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 6: and I think I think he's right. I mean, American 518 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 6: presidents for more than one hundred years have been trying 519 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 6: to get Greenland and trying to get some kind of deal. 520 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 3: All the way back to all the way back to 521 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 3: super all the way eighteen sixties.

And I've been to cities like Portland, 644 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 13: and I thought Portland was really the worst of the 645 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 13: worse when it came to left wing violence. But Minneapolis, 646 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 13: when it comes to the organization, I've been really taking 647 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 13: aback of just how It's at a whole other level, 648 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 13: and I would expect even tonight, Scott, that another hotel 649 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 13: would likely be targeted. 650 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 3: That voice you're hearing is Jorge Ventura.

I think you'll see why that I am 673 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 3: partnering with Child Help and I'm asking you to support 674 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 3: their cause. Hey, it's Scott Jennings with a Salem Radio 675 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 3: network and we're in Phoenix, Arizona today with our friend 676 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 3: Michael Medoro, the COO, the chief operating officer. 677 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 4: Of Child Help. 678 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 3: Now you're familiar with Child Help because we've been talking 679 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 3: about them on our show. Child Help is the nation's 680 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 3: leading organization trying to end child abuse in the United States, 681 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 3: and Michael, you all operate the National Child Abuse Hotline, 682 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 3: which we've told our listeners about. 683 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 2: This is Child Help's. 684 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 3: Center here in Phoenix where children actually come once they 685 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 3: have called the hotline and you've identified a child in crisis. 686 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 3: Just tell me what did we just see here? Walk 687 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 3: me through this facility. When a child comes here, what 688 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 3: happens to them when Child Health gets involved. 689 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 15: These are children who have disclosed that they have been 690 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 15: abused or a mandatory reporter or some body has identified 691 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 15: that there is possible harm to this child and an 692 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 15: appointment has been set up for them to speak with 693 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 15: a forensic interviewer and determine what course of action is 694 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 15: necessary for their unique case. 695 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 12: What we are sitting in is a child centric environment. 696 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 15: So historically, before child Help, if any child was disclosing 697 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 15: abuse or a mandatory reporter was disclosing danger to a child, 698 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 15: they would typically need to speak with about six seven 699 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 15: eight different agencies over about a seven eight nine month 700 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 15: period of time. What that model really created was retraumatization 701 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 15: of a child who's experienced abuse, loss of evidence for 702 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 15: those who offended, and oftentimes if a case went to trial, 703 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 15: it was typically the child that was on trial having 704 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 15: to defend why there were so many variations to their story, 705 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 15: why evidence couldn't be collected and lost. So what Child 706 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 15: Help created was a multidisciplinary model of which all of 707 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 15: those child protection professionals are operating together as one team 708 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 15: under one roof, and an environment that is designed to 709 00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 15: care for a child. So we are sitting in a 710 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 15: place room that is designed for a child to walk 711 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 15: into and get comfortable before they are greeted by a 712 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 15: non uniform, trauma informed, forensically trained interviewer who's going to 713 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 15: bring them into a forensic interview room and capture what 714 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 15: transpired or what happened to that child in a manner 715 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 15: where an entire team of professionals is watching that in 716 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 15: an adjacent monitoring room in real time. Child Help created 717 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 15: this hotline because it was needed and it didn't exist. 718 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 15: We didn't wait for government or outside funding to come 719 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 15: on into support it. We created it and expected and 720 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 15: hoped that communities across America would get behind it, and 721 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 15: for the past forty five forty six years, that's exactly 722 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 15: what has happened. But the demand is increasing, the need 723 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 15: is increasing, and that's why we need your audience and 724 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 15: everyone around America to get behind this hotline. 725 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 12: Help sponsor. 726 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 15: The cost of one contact call a month changes the 727 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 15: entire dynamic of how we face abuse. One of the 728 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 15: elements of moving from call functionality to text and chat 729 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,720 Speaker 15: capability is the amount of time did our counselor spend 730 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 15: on a contact call. So when it's calls, it was 731 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 15: typically around ten minutes that it would take for a 732 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 15: counselor to start and end a call. With somebody in 733 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 15: crises text in chat it's more of like forty five minutes. 734 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 15: So we are getting greater volume of youth, but it 735 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 15: is taking each counselor longer from start to finish because 736 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 15: of the amount of time that it takes between text 737 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 15: and chat communications. That's why we need greater investments to 738 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 15: provide greater support. That's where your support is going. It's 739 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 15: going to support bringing on those counselors, bringing on those 740 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 15: resources for those children in crises. But when that child 741 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 15: reaches out, immediately greeted with a professional counselor that immediately 742 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 15: is trained and designed to listen to what their situation 743 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 15: is and immediately be able to respond. We have had 744 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 15: counselors that have been able to stay on the line 745 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 15: while emergency dispatch is being done with police in medical 746 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 15: to cite locations. And we've had other situations where counselors 747 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 15: have been able to just talk and engage and de 748 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,280 Speaker 15: escalate a situation and everything in between. 749 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 3: Child is in their home, they're being abused, they know 750 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 3: they need help. They learn about this hotline and whether 751 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 3: they call or more likely text in or go to 752 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 3: the chat and they talk to someone. Take us from 753 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 3: that moment when that first contact is made to the 754 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 3: point where they get here to safety. 755 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 12: So first and foremost a child that has found the courage, 756 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 12: and that's what it is. 757 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:25,760 Speaker 2: It's courage. 758 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 15: The courage to speak to a safe adult or maybe 759 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 15: even pick up their own phone and reach out is 760 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 15: bravery like you'll never see in a child ever again. 761 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 15: But when they do that, they are immediately filled with 762 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 15: fear and insecurity. Is anybody going to believe me? Is 763 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 15: what I'm going to be say taken for truth? Am 764 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 15: I going to get in trouble? Is there going to 765 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 15: be further harm done to me or to a sibling 766 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 15: or to another parent? These are the immediate fears and 767 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 15: concerns that these children have that they have to overcome. 768 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 12: How they overcome that is. 769 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 15: By putting in that text, by putting in that chat, 770 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 15: because what they are immediately needed and greeted with is 771 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,839 Speaker 15: a professional counselor. And our weight times is less than 772 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 15: ninety seconds, So ninety. 773 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 3: Seconds, So they send that first message and almost instantly 774 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 3: someone who's trained to do it is right there saying 775 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 3: how can I help you? 776 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 2: Exactly right. 777 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 15: But that's also why we need the community to get 778 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 15: involved with us because the more demand that comes in, 779 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 15: the longer those weight times can be. 780 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,280 Speaker 12: And we don't want those wait times. 781 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 15: To get longer because ninety seconds still feels like eternity 782 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 15: for a child in crises, right. We want to try 783 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 15: to get those weight times less and less.

I'm anxious 893 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 3: to see what she has to say. We've got a 894 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 3: little breaking news into the Scott Jennings Show. This from 895 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 3: KVOA News in Arizona. A shooting incident occurred early this 896 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 3: morning near mile post fifteen on Aravica Road. Emergency responders 897 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,399 Speaker 3: showed up around seven point thirty and a shooting there 898 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 3: had involved a Border Patrol officer. So this is another 899 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 3: shooting involving the US Border Patrol, this one in Arizona. 900 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 3: When the emergency responders arrived, they found an individual in 901 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 3: custody and in critical condition. Sounds like perhaps that was 902 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 3: the person that was shot. Immediate medical care was provided. 903 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 3: The patient was transferred to a local medical helicopter for 904 00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 3: a rapid transport to a regional trauma center. There are 905 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 3: more Border Patrol officers on the scene now. The PMA 906 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 3: County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are assisting in the investigation, 907 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 3: so we're going to keep an eye on that border 908 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 3: patrol shooting, this one in Arizona. We don't have any 909 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,359 Speaker 3: more details beyond what I just gave you. We don't 910 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:18,879 Speaker 3: know who was shot, we don't know what was going 911 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 3: on out there, but we'll track this story. It's common 912 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,400 Speaker 3: sense for the American people. Scott Jennings is here on Salem. 913 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 3: I did get other breaking news into the show. Caroline 914 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 3: burst into the studio and she said, we're down to 915 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 3: our last bag of freshly brewed tea. We have one bag, 916 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 3: can we We'll see if we can get another half 917 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 3: an hour out of the tepex here on the Scott 918 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 3: Jettings Show. I'm going to get a drink here. We're 919 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 3: fighting it today, but we're fighting the good fight. I 920 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 3: didn't want to talk a couple of minutes, by the way, 921 00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 3: about this issue of affordability. I was perusing the New 922 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 3: York Times. See in a poll that came out the 923 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,240 Speaker 3: other day, and a lot was made about Trump's approval 924 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 3: and this and that, but they asked voters their feelings 925 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,760 Speaker 3: on affordability. They asked them, do you think the following 926 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 3: items are unaffordable, somewhat affordable, or mostly affordable. 927 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 4: Interesting question. I don't think I've ever seen this before. 928 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 3: Did you know that the only two things that scored 929 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:37,239 Speaker 3: as unaffordable, meaning a majority of Americans said unaffordable, were 930 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 3: education and housing. Educations obvious. Housing is also obvious. We 931 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 3: have a housing shortage. Prices are high, interest rates are high. 932 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 3: But on everything else, transportation was listed as the most 933 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 3: affordable by a fifty three point margin. Voters said it 934 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 3: was more affordable bities fifty three point margin, affordable food 935 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 3: food forty seven point margin. Voter said affordable groceries by 936 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 3: a forty three point margin. Voters said affordable having a 937 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 3: family by a seven point margin. Voter said affordable healthcare. 938 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,759 Speaker 3: Even on the topic of health care by a three 939 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,880 Speaker 3: point margin, voter said affordable, So that one was a 940 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 3: little more split. But you would think, even on healthcare, 941 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,959 Speaker 3: given all the talk that's been in the news about 942 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,759 Speaker 3: Obamacare premiums and these subsidies and everything else, you would 943 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 3: expect that to be way underwater, but it wasn't. 944 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 4: So think about what I just said for a second. 945 00:52:51,760 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 3: Transportation, utilities, food, groceries, having a family, and healthcare or 946 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 3: Americans believe those things to be affordable, then believe them 947 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 3: to be unaffordable. Now I'm only moderately good at math, 948 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 3: but it would seem to me that if that's true, 949 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 3: and if these voter sentiments are an accurate reflection of 950 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:25,320 Speaker 3: what people think, A, that's going to anure to Donald 951 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 3: Trump and the Republican benefit in the twenty twenty six midterms, 952 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 3: particularly if they keep going in the right direction. And 953 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 3: B what you are being told about how people view 954 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 3: their own personal economic situation maybe shall we say, embellished 955 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,720 Speaker 3: for political narrative purposes to hear the media. The political 956 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 3: media tell it we're living through another great depression. But 957 00:53:53,680 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 3: according to this polling from the New York Times, transportation, utilities, food, groceries, 958 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 3: having a family, healthcare, more Americans say these things are affordable. 959 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 4: Now. 960 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 3: Trump does need to work on housing, and they are 961 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,239 Speaker 3: doing that, and I expect that'll be part of the 962 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 3: budget reconciliation package this year. And education, well, nobody blames 963 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 3: Trump for college prices. They can blame themselves anyway. Just 964 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:23,839 Speaker 3: some food for thought. When we come back. 965 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:28,799 Speaker 4: The Republican running to unseat Letitia James is here now. 966 00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,280 Speaker 2: For America's favorite pundit. It's Scott Jennings. 967 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 3: All right, it's Tuesday, January twenty seven, tracking all the 968 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 3: breaking news here for Salem.

Florida not included, although I read I 972 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,799 Speaker 3: think it's going to get It's gonna get cold down 973 00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 3: there too. You know, if you made a list of 974 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 3: the four or five Democrats in America that Republicans would 975 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 3: most like to see lose their next election, I suspect 976 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:17,400 Speaker 3: on almost everybody's list, Letitia James, the current Attorney General 977 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 3: of New York, would appear.

Happened my first week 1003 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 17: of college, and that led me to become a terrorism 1004 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 17: prosecutor because I wanted to do my part to fight terrorism. 1005 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 17: So I went after leaders in Al Qaeda, ISIS, and 1006 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 17: the Mexican drug cartels. And that was my career. I 1007 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 17: became chief of staff of the DEA. President Trump nominated 1008 00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,600 Speaker 17: me to be a judge. I have an entire career 1009 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 17: public service and public safety. But in the meantime, what 1010 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,840 Speaker 17: I've seen in the communities around me here in New 1011 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 17: York is that New York has gotten less safe. In 1012 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 17: the five years Letitia James has been in office, crime 1013 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 17: in New York State is up twenty six percent. Drug 1014 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 17: deaths are up sixty three percent. It has not served 1015 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 17: New Yorkers her political agenda. Her use of that office 1016 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 17: purely for political purposes has led to New York suffering, 1017 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 17: and I'm tired of it. I know I can do 1018 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 17: something about that. I'm an excellent prosecutor, I'm an excellent professional, 1019 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 17: and I'm the most qualified person for that job. That's 1020 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 17: why I decided to run. I wanted to make sure 1021 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 17: my kids and my community, my state are safe. 1022 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 3: That's an excellent pitch for Attorney General in New York. 1023 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 3: I want to get into a little bit more your 1024 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 3: views on crime in New York and in New York City. 1025 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 3: You note that crime has gone up on the watch 1026 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 3: of Letitia James, and it seems like, you know, we 1027 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 3: hear a lot of stories that it's sort of just 1028 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,600 Speaker 3: a revolving door in the justice system up there. Violent 1029 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 3: people go in, they come right back out. They're committing crimes. 1030 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 3: I mean, the number one predictor of whether you will 1031 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,920 Speaker 3: commit violence is have you already committed violence? Tell us 1032 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 3: if you get elected Attorney general, what will be your 1033 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 3: actions to stop this revolving door and stop this trend 1034 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 3: in New York City, Scott, you. 1035 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,560 Speaker 17: Know that revolving door is very real. Let me tell 1036 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 17: you I was in court in federal court just back 1037 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 17: in August. I was taking a duty day, as they 1038 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 17: call it, when you take whatever comes in the door, 1039 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 17: and I had a guy come in the door. He 1040 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 17: had twenty seven priors. He was out on probation for 1041 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 17: whatever reason, and he had missed an appointment, so the 1042 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 17: NYPD went to look for him. They found him with 1043 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 17: a fentanyl, cocaine, heroine, and a loaded firearm, dealing drugs 1044 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 17: across the street from a middle school. When he was 1045 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 17: prosecuted in the state, he got six months in state 1046 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,439 Speaker 17: prison and was released, and they brought him to federal 1047 00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 17: court to see if we could do something about that. Now, 1048 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 17: if you ask a New Yorker doesn't matter whether they're 1049 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,440 Speaker 17: a Republican, an Independent, or a Democrat. Most New Yorkers 1050 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 17: would tell you that is unacceptable. That is not a 1051 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 17: person who should be led out to go back across 1052 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 17: the street from a middle school dealing drugs with a 1053 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 17: loaded gun. But that's what's happening in New York right now, 1054 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,440 Speaker 17: and that's the problem. It's a problem not just in 1055 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 17: New York City. It's a problem in every county in 1056 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 17: the state. Everywhere I go. I've been traveling for the 1057 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 17: last six weeks across the state. I hear stories of 1058 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 17: repeat offenders out on the street that hurt someone. It's 1059 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,920 Speaker 17: a problem everywhere in the state. What can we do 1060 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,240 Speaker 17: about it? There's a lot we can do about it. First, 1061 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 17: we can prosecute crime to the fullest extent of the law. 1062 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 17: Right now, you have various das in New York who 1063 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 17: are tying the hands of their own prosecutors. They're telling 1064 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 17: them not to charge them with what they actually did, 1065 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 17: to charge them with something less. They're telling them not 1066 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 17: to ask for jail time. On day one, as Attorney General, 1067 00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,080 Speaker 17: I will reverse those policies. That's something that an Attorney 1068 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 17: general can do and should do. You just need a 1069 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 17: prosecutor as attorney general. We also need to fight for 1070 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 17: better bail laws. New York bail laws are completely unreasonable. 1071 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 17: It's part of the reason why people are getting out 1072 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 17: of jail. It's part of the reason why in some cases, 1073 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 17: judges don't even have an option to put people in 1074 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 17: jail when they're dangerous, because New York is the only 1075 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 17: state in the country that does not allow judges to 1076 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 17: consider public safety when determining whether to put someone in 1077 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 17: jail before trial. So it's totally out of line with 1078 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 17: common sense. It's totally out of line with the rest 1079 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 17: of the country, and we need to change those laws. 1080 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 17: We need an attorney general who's going to fight for 1081 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:41,959 Speaker 17: changing those laws. 1082 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 3: Ma Voicher hearing on the show today, Sir ritha Commentiretti, 1083 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 3: she's the Republican running against Letitia James for Attorney General 1084 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 3: in New York. You know, I talked to cops all 1085 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,080 Speaker 3: over the country and one of the things I hear 1086 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 3: New York, you name it, but particularly in jurisdictions, is 1087 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 3: that this issue of local prosecutors and local judges who 1088 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 3: are working very hard to get violent people out of 1089 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,840 Speaker 3: jail and back onto the streets. I assume before you 1090 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 3: launch this campaign, you yourself were in touch with law 1091 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,200 Speaker 3: enforcement in New York City and around the state. 1092 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 4: Is this something you're hearing? 1093 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 3: Are the cops fed up with these local prosecutors and 1094 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 3: judges and other people involved in the system who just 1095 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,840 Speaker 3: work over time for criminals and seem to care not 1096 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 3: about their victims. 1097 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 17: You know, I've had the privilege of working with all 1098 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 17: kinds of federal law enforcement and also with local law 1099 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 17: enforcement because I served in the Joint Terrorism Task Force 1100 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,320 Speaker 17: for more than a decade, So we work closely with FBI, 1101 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 17: other federal agencies, NYPD, New York State Police, and yes, 1102 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 17: I have talked to them, and I'll tell you, folks 1103 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 17: are tired of having the world upside down, which is 1104 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:58,320 Speaker 17: what happened back in twenty twenty. Right now, for some reason, 1105 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 17: cops are the bad guys, criminals are the good guys, 1106 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 17: and everyone else is left fending for themselves. That doesn't 1107 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 17: make any sense. We've got to come back to a 1108 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 17: place where we can have some trust and faith in 1109 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 17: law enforcement and respect for the role that they have. 1110 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,360 Speaker 17: If we have disagreements on policy, we have those disagreements 1111 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 17: in court or in Congress, not on the street. And 1112 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 17: we've got to get back to a place where we 1113 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,640 Speaker 17: support our law enforcement. Right now, in New York we 1114 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 17: have a chief law enforcement officer who is anti law enforcement. 1115 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 17: That doesn't work. It's not good for anyone New Yorkers, 1116 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,920 Speaker 17: and I think all Americans want the law enforced in 1117 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 17: a way that's ethical, in a way that's humane. But 1118 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 17: they want the law enforced, and to do that, we 1119 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,960 Speaker 17: need to support our law enforcement. You can have the 1120 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 17: best cops in the world, and in New York we do. 1121 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 17: We have the best cops in the world. But if 1122 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 17: you don't have prosecutors who follow through with that, then 1123 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 17: those same criminals that the cops spend so much time 1124 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 17: and energy and risk their lives to get off the 1125 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 17: street end up back on the street later the same day. 1126 01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 17: It's not fair to the law enforcement and it's not 1127 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 17: fair to our citizens. 1128 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:02,040 Speaker 4: Saith. 1129 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 3: I want to get your reaction to this is the 1130 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 3: new mayor of New York City, Mom, Donnie. 1131 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 4: He is one of the people who has no respect 1132 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:10,360 Speaker 4: for law enforcement. 1133 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 3: In fact, right now he and the Democrats are trying 1134 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 3: to abolish ice, which is federal law enforcement. 1135 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 4: Here's cut number five Mom, Donnie. 1136 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 7: I think that there are too many Americans who are 1137 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 7: being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe 1138 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 7: their own ears, not believe their own realities. And people 1139 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 7: want to hear the truth, they want to see the truth. 1140 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 7: And that's why I described that as a murder, because 1141 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 7: there's no other way to watch that video and come 1142 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,439 Speaker 7: to a different conclusion. And we know that the fear 1143 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,440 Speaker 7: that so many are living with in Minneapolis, it's a 1144 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 7: fear that New Yorkers are also living with, the fear 1145 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 7: of being terrorized. And I will do everything in my 1146 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 7: power to ensure that we do not see that take 1147 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 7: place in New York City. And I've also said clearly 1148 01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:58,440 Speaker 7: to the President that these ICE. 1149 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 2: Rates, they are cruel, they are in humane. 1150 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,840 Speaker 7: They do nothing to serve the interests of public safety. 1151 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 4: Sarifa, what say you? 1152 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,120 Speaker 3: Is it cruel to simply enforce existing federal immigration law? 1153 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:10,640 Speaker 4: What do you think about the mayor's comments? 1154 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 17: Listen the idea that ICE does not serve public safety, 1155 01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 17: It's not true. As I said, I served with a 1156 01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 17: number of federal agencies shoulder shoulder with FBI and ICE 1157 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 17: and DEA on task forces that targeted the worst of 1158 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 17: the worst. ICE helped investigate and prosecute leaders in ISIS, 1159 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,800 Speaker 17: in the drug cartels, and in transnational organizations, everyone from 1160 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,280 Speaker 17: MS thirteen to L. Chappo. The work that they have 1161 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 17: done has helped keep New Yorkers safer. Now, the problem 1162 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,480 Speaker 17: that we're seeing. Part of the problem is that, as 1163 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 17: we saw on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, ICE does 1164 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 17: its best work when it's able to work with other agencies, 1165 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,560 Speaker 17: When it's able to work with state and local law enforcement. 1166 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 17: We don't want to have to have people out income unities, 1167 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 17: out in raids if an alternative to that is to 1168 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:08,000 Speaker 17: actually have them have an orderly handover of a criminal 1169 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 17: alien from criminal custody to immigration custody. 1170 01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 4: How do you do that. 1171 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 17: It's very simple. You allow ICE agents to stand by 1172 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 17: state jails so that when someone who has been convicted 1173 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,360 Speaker 17: of a crime is walking out the door because they 1174 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 17: finish their sentence, the ICE agent is permitted to take 1175 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 17: custody in an orderly, organized, fair manner and initiate deportation proceedings. 1176 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,160 Speaker 17: The problem is in sanctuary cities and sanctuary states that's 1177 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 17: not allowed, and so instead we're releasing criminals into the community. 1178 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 17: And ICE has to go into the community to go 1179 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 17: find them. That's not safe for anyone. It puts the 1180 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 17: community and the officers in danger. No one should want that. 1181 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 17: I think at the end of the day, people want 1182 01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,000 Speaker 17: the laws enforced. They want to get the worst of 1183 01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 17: the worst, and the way to do that is to 1184 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 17: have state and local officials work with federal officials hand 1185 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:06,240 Speaker 17: in hand so that we have an ethical and proper enforcement. 1186 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 2: Of the laws. 1187 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 3: Surrifa Cometaretti, the Republican running to unseat Letitia James for 1188 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,400 Speaker 3: Attorney General in New York. 1189 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 4: Where can people find you? 1190 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 3: I suspect there are Republicans all over this country who 1191 01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:18,560 Speaker 3: would like to find you. 1192 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 4: Where do they go to help you out?

When we 1206 01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 3: come back. President Trump signed a big executive order today 1207 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 3: trying to goose the building rebuilding of the damaged properties 1208 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 3: in LA after the fires. 1209 01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,080 Speaker 4: Stay with us to find out more. 1210 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,760 Speaker 1: About He's the author of the best selling book A 1211 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,640 Speaker 1: Revolution of Common Sense. 1212 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,320 Speaker 2: Pierce Scott Jennings. 1213 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:25,320 Speaker 3: Home Stretch on Tuesday, January twenty seven. Scott Jennings here 1214 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:29,120 Speaker 3: on Salem more breaking news today, a big scoop that 1215 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 3: has to do with getting houses built in the wake 1216 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 3: of the LA wildfires a year ago. Joining us on 1217 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:39,360 Speaker 3: the line is Steve Nelson. He is the chief Washington 1218 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 3: correspondent for the New York Post. He has a story today, 1219 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 3: broke the story on a new executive order signed by 1220 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 3: President Trump on this topic. 1221 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,160 Speaker 4: Steven, Welcome to the show. Thanks for coming on. 1222 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,280 Speaker 3: Tell us what did the President do this morning to 1223 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,400 Speaker 3: engage in helping people rebuild their homes. 1224 01:07:59,120 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 4: In Los Angeles? 1225 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 9: Right? Well, thank you very much for having me. So 1226 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 9: we interviewed President Trump for the launch of the California 1227 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 9: Posts this week, and President Trump and our Presidence signed 1228 01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 9: an executive order which intends to speed up the process 1229 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 9: of rebuilding homes that were destroyed by wildfires last year 1230 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,840 Speaker 9: in Los Angeles. And he is doing this by ordering 1231 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 9: the Small Business Administration and FEMA to draw up regulations 1232 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:29,240 Speaker 9: and adopt them within ninety days, allowing builders to self 1233 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 9: certify to the federal government that they're complying with state 1234 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 9: and local regulations. This is an attempt to get around 1235 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 9: the burdensome state and local approval processes. There were about 1236 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 9: thirteen thousand homes destroyed last year in the Eton and 1237 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 9: Pennellsades fires, and very few of the homeowners have actually 1238 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,719 Speaker 9: gotten permission to rebuild. So President Trump says the government, 1239 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 9: the federal government is going to preempt state and local 1240 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:57,720 Speaker 9: zoning regulation, regulations and processes and speed this up by 1241 01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,559 Speaker 9: just allowing builders to certify to the government that complying 1242 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 9: with the rules. 1243 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, according to your story, wildfires destroyed and estimated sixteen 1244 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 3: thousand structures, but Los Angeles City and County officials have 1245 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,919 Speaker 3: only issued twenty six hundred permits So far to rebuild. 1246 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,560 Speaker 3: Less than fifteen percent of all homes destroyed by the 1247 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,519 Speaker 3: fires have received necessary approvals to move forward. This is 1248 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 3: according to the Trump administration. My first question is what 1249 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 3: will Gavin Newsom's reaction to this be. I assume he 1250 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,240 Speaker 3: will argue that Donald Trump doesn't have the authority to 1251 01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:33,560 Speaker 3: do this. 1252 01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 4: What's your reportings say about that? 1253 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:36,640 Speaker 11: Right now? 1254 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,240 Speaker 9: Just for the clarification for your listeners, the numbers are 1255 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,800 Speaker 9: a little bit fuzzy because not all structures or residences, 1256 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 9: and city officials have different numbers than the state officials. 1257 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 9: For the number of building permits. Gavin Newsom's number is 1258 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,960 Speaker 9: actually lower, It's about sixteen hundred. But Newsom is pushing 1259 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 9: back on this. He claims that, you know, the reason 1260 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 9: that the vast majority of people don't have building permits 1261 01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 9: is because they don't have the money to rebuild. His 1262 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 9: spokesperson called the president a quote clueless idiot who believes 1263 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 9: that the government can override local processes, which gets us 1264 01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 9: to the question of whether it's legal, and that's a 1265 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,800 Speaker 9: matter that's likely to be decided by the courts. But 1266 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 9: the federal government does, in some circumstances have the ability 1267 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 9: to preempt local zoning processes. So we're certainly going to 1268 01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,439 Speaker 9: find out whether or not the courts uphold this, but 1269 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 9: there's clear federal president President to do this. 1270 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 4: All right. 1271 01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,679 Speaker 3: Also tucked into this executive order, it says the federal 1272 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 3: government is going to audit the nearly three billion dollar 1273 01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:43,600 Speaker 3: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program fund that was given to the 1274 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 3: state to help the recovery efforts, to see if these 1275 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 3: funds have been used properly. How are California officials going 1276 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,080 Speaker 3: to take to being audited. What do you think they're 1277 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 3: going to find in this audit? 1278 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,360 Speaker 9: Well, President Trump announced this as he argues that California 1279 01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,800 Speaker 9: may have a your fraud issue than Minnesota. Of course, 1280 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,439 Speaker 9: he's talked a lot about social services being ripped off 1281 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:09,080 Speaker 9: there by smally American immigrants. He says that he suspects 1282 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 9: that the fraud is much larger in California. And we 1283 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,759 Speaker 9: certainly saw a significant fraud there with the unemployment system 1284 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 9: during the pandemic, and I think the suspicion here is 1285 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,880 Speaker 9: that some of the funds may have been misspent. And 1286 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 9: you know, President President Trump is clearly a needle. And 1287 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 9: Gavin Newsom, ahead of his anticipated presidential campaign, and these 1288 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 9: fraud issues can certainly dog officials. It did with President 1289 01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:36,680 Speaker 9: Biden's Labor secretary, as we can remember. 1290 01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,920 Speaker 3: That voice you're hearing that of Stephen Nelson.
