1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Richard morning, What are you making so Dallas, FBI they

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: think he acted alone.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. The FBI is holding a briefing right now and

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 2: is releasing more information about the sniper who opened fire

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: on this ICE Integration and Customs Enforcement field office in

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: Dallas that she'd have now identified as twenty nine year

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: old Joshua John who took his own life after the

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: attack and left behind a note, including one saying he

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: wanted to bring quote unquote terror to ICE agents. As

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: US attorney Nancy Larson moments ago.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 3: One of these notes or papers, the sniper explicitly states, yes,

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 3: it was just me. That statement appears to be correct

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: at this point in the investigation. Notably, these loose notes

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: included a game plan of the attack and target areas

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: at the facility. He called the ICE employees people showing

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: up to collect a dirty paycheck.

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: Well written note also said he had his actions with

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: U of ICE agents quote real terror to think is

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: there a sniper with ap armor piercing rounds on that roof?

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: FBI boss Cash Burttel says their investigation shows as well

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: that the shooter made multiple online searches on ballistics and

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: the Charlie Kirk assassination videos, so on it goes right.

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: They also released images of bullets they found, including one

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: that was marked with the words anti ICE. The shooter

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: open fire as detainees were being taken from a van

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: at the ICE office in Dallas. Those hit all were detainees,

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: not ICE agents. One person was killed, two others injured.

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: One of those wounded Mexican in critical condition. Homeland Security

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: says that even as no officers were hit, this was

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: an attack on ICE enforcement. The brother of the killer

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: says he didn't think he was really political. Well, that

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: comment doesn't seem worth much in the face of the

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: evidence that the merging is it. Trump is blaming Democrats

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: for all that is going on.

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: The radical left has caused this problem, not the right,

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: the radical left, and it's going to get worse, and

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: ultimately it's going to go back on them. I mean,

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: bad things happen when they play these games.

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: Well, Trump is calling for a crackdown on the radical left. However,

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: the right wing Cato Institute did a recent study on

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: political violence in this land. There stats show that eighty

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: one people have died as a result of political violence

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: in the last five years. Left wing terrorists were found

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: responsible for twenty two percent of cases, Islamus for twenty

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: one percent, right wing terrorists for fifty four percent, finger

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: pointing aside. It does, though, seem to be getting worse.

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Indeed, is Comi's day to day could.

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: Be There is certainly speculation that the former FBI boss,

49
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: James Comey, could face criminal charges today in what would

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: be the first case against one of Trump's main critics.

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: Trump has been demanding the federal prosecutors go after him.

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: Trump fired the attorney overseeing becoming investigation and put in

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: place one of his own personal lawyers, Lindsay Halligan, who

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: was someone who hasn't done this going to work before

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: specialized in insurance issues. Others in the federal office have

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: said that there was not enough evidence to charge Comy

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: with any crimes, including claims that he lied during congressional

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: testimony that is disputed. Trump's Attorney General Pambondi also has

59
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: been looking at concerns that the case simply isn't strong enough.

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happened. Some Dems also are not

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: fans of Combing, believing that right before the twenty sixteen elections,

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: he led the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of

63
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: a private email server while she was Secretary of State

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: that led nowhere, but some Democrats said derailed the Clinton

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: campaign at the time. As for Trump, he sought to

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: distance himself from the Comy case during his oval office.

67
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: Q and A today, I'm not.

68
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: Making that determine. I think I'd be allowed to get

69
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: involved in her once, but I don't really choose to

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: do so. I can only say that Comby's a bad person.

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: He's a sick person. I think he's a sick guy.

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: Doesn't want to be involved. Keep it clear, just drop who,

73
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: in reality has been doing quite the opposite and pressing

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: for political retaliation.

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Good Richard and sideback. Monday, in the ever increasingly interesting

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: New York mayoral race, the Republican guy called Sliwer who Curtis.

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: He's claiming now that he received more than half a

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: dozen phone calls on behalf of wealthy people urging him

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: to get out. Why because they all want to round

80
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: up behind Como or Quomo against Mendami. So you've got

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: Eric Adams, who is the incumbent. He says he's staying

82
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: in and going nowhere. Quomo's running as an independent, having

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: lost the democratic nomination. A couple of what was a

84
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: few weeks back, maybe a month or so back, and

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: this Mindami guy is leading, so he's sliwer is calling

86
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 1: the authors unethical and legal, which of course is true.

87
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: But it's interesting. It's very New York, isn't it. I meantime,

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: the people the Next Star, people who own a bunch

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: of the stations that Van Kimmel, Next Star and Sinkly,

90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: they are between them seventy affiliate stations. They're still quote

91
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: unquote engaged in productive discussions with executives at Walt Disney.

92
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Bob Iger, who's a legend, is under tremendous pressure to

93
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: stand firm. There's an open letter from some heavyweight Disney

94
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: people to say don't buckle to the play on. So

95
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: we'll watch where this goes over the weekend as well.
