You got House Bill fourteen twenty three, 23 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: which deals with ips and all the problems you've been 24 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: seeing with the public schools here in Indianapolis, and trying 25 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: to give you know, really an equal playing field for 26 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: the families the more than two thirds of families here 27 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 2: in Indianapolis that have chosen something other than a public school, 28 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: to make sure they have reliable transportation and reliable facilities 29 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 2: through the Good Bill, and then Cineville seventy six, which 30 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: is a big immigration bill, make sure that our local 31 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 2: communities are cooperating with ICE and we're helping do everything 32 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: we can and deport the illegal aliens in the state 33 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 2: of Indiana and sent back home. But then the last 34 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: one that's going on right now and is still moving 35 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: is this language around social media to making sure that 36 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: parents really have control over what their kids are seeing online, 37 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: that their kids aren't hopping on Facebook or Instagram or 38 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: snapchat whatever without mom and dad signing off on that. First. 39 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: Hey, so I saw that this Hailey Buzzby type of 40 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 4: law is now sent to the Governor's desk in reference 41 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 4: to you know, her death the Fisher's teenager. Can you 42 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 4: tell us what language was changed in that bill? 43 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: So there's actually a few different things going on right now. 44 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: I think that probably the one most people are talking 45 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: about is you know, one, it's a horrible situation. What 46 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: happened up there. Yeah, we want to make sure that 47 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: we have, you know, really the ability to give notice, 48 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: and you have you know, the Amber alert, you get 49 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: the Silver alert, all these different alerts. But the way 50 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: that the criteria to issue those alerts, to get that 51 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: information out to the public that hey, this person is missing, 52 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: Hey this person might be in danger didn't quite fit 53 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: with what's going on, you know, in this case. And 54 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: so you know, the lawmakers that they grateful to see it, 55 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: you know, worked really quickly trying to get that language 56 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: together to try to fix that problem, to plug that hole. 57 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: I think we did a really good job at that. 58 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: I think moving forward, you know, these kind of situations, 59 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: hopefully we could try to get that information out to 60 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: the public to try to save these kids. 61 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: Representative Ader Island here on the Hammer of Nigel Show, 62 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: dig deeper into Senatebill seventy six, basically strengthening the state's 63 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: anti sanctuary laws making sure everybody is complying or helping 64 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: out or assisting ice when they needed what needed strengthening. 65 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I had feeling that we were a pretty 66 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: anti sanctuary state as it was. But what needed work 67 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: here in the States for this. 68 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: Well a couple of pieces here. One is the legal stuff, 69 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: right yeah, and that's you know, making sure we have 70 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 2: standing in court. But when these cities are not complying 71 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: with our sanctuary cities ban, when they have these you know, 72 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: maybe not in writing, but these policies you know off 73 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: the books about not you know, assisting is for example, 74 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: with immigration detainers. We've got the tools we need to 75 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: fight back in court. And then on the other end 76 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 2: of that, really making sure that you know, when you 77 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: look at the employment side, that we have something on 78 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 2: a state law basis to hold employers accountable when they're 79 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: hiring illegal aliens in the first place. The federal crime, 80 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: this makes it a state crime too. 81 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: I think that's a big move right there, is holding 82 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 4: employers accountable for what's going on. Because if you can 83 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: deport all the illegals you want, but if I just 84 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 4: continue to hire people without paperwork, the problem never really 85 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: goes away. 86 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: That's right, And this this really I think takes care 87 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: of that. I think we've got in a really good 88 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: spot here. Appreciate all the work that JDP Scott, the 89 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: Attorney General has put into this. It's been a long 90 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: time coming, but I'm glad we're finally there. 91 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Here's the headline on WIBC dot com, is ICE coming 92 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: to Indy? Indianapolis leaders say they're not welcome? And then 93 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: he you know, our article goes on to quote Representative 94 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: Andre Carson. Here's my message to ICE, You're not welcome. 95 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: I've repeatedly voted against ICE funding. Under Trump's cruel regime, 96 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: government funding should be used for housing, food, deserts, improving 97 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: our roads, not to detain kids and murder US citizens. 98 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: When you see something like that, when you notice that 99 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: Andrey Carson wasn't even at the State of the Union address, 100 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: what kind of goes through your mind as you're working 101 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: on a bill to strengthen the state's laws. 102 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: Well, for one, Indiana should have redistricted the fact that 103 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: we live in a bright red state and you get 104 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: a guy like Andre Carson who can't stand for law enforcement, 105 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: just enforcing federal immigration law. We got a problem there, 106 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: But I mean too, we've got something like fifty thousand 107 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: illegal aliens in the city of Indianapolis. Really, that is 108 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: a real world cost to people. I mean, when you're 109 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: talking about the cost of homes, you know, the access 110 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: to healthcare, these sort of things we talk about a 111 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: lot at the State House. We ignore the fact that 112 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 2: we let fifty thousand people across the border into this 113 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: country in a city like Indianapolis. You know, we got 114 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: to take care of that. And Bill seventy six I 115 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: think helps move that forward. The things that the federal 116 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: government is doing, you're going to help move that forward. Clearly, 117 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: Andre Carson is against all of that. I think he's 118 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: got to go. 119 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Not only is he against it, he's for propping up 120 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: the people and the things that enabled cartels in human 121 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: trafficking and narco terrorism and things like that. He doesn't 122 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: want to cooperate with Ice. That's all ICE is trying 123 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: to do. Plus he's perpetuating that false narrative about ICE 124 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: is detaining kids in murdering US citizens. It's dangerous rhetoric. 125 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: It is, it is it's ridiculous. I mean, you have 126 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: an elected congressman who I think serves all the who 127 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: Land Security Committee and he's out just you know, kind 128 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: of propagating these false narratives. I mean, most of the 129 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: people that we're seeing, you know, detained, arrested, deported here 130 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: in Indiana and elsewhere are some of the worst of 131 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: the worst people. I mean, these are child sex offenders, 132 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: these are murderers, these are gang members that were deporting 133 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 2: and sending back to where they came from. The fact 134 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: that you've got to hate elected congressmen that says, no, Actually, 135 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: I'd like to protect them. I'd like to keep them 136 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: here in Indiana. It's such a wild thing. 137 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 4: So what a lot of people are forgetting here is 138 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: in cases like Los Angeles or California sanctuary state, they said, 139 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: essentially the same thing that Andre Carson is saying is 140 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: we're not going to work with ICE. Right, So what 141 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 4: they wouldn't do is they wouldn't notify ICE when a 142 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 4: criminal with a detainer would get out of jail, right, 143 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 4: so you'd get be in trouble for domestic viars or something, 144 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 4: you have deportation. Notice, they don't tell ICE or Immigration 145 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: when when you're out, so they can deport you. So 146 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: then what happens, ICE has to go to your house. 147 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 4: They ask everybody for IDs. Now everybody's leaving, that's right, I. 148 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: Mean, that's you know, that's the crux of it is, 149 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 3: you know, thankfully, in Indiana I think overall, we have 150 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 3: really great cooperation between local government, local sheriffs, and the 151 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 3: federal government with ICE, and so we've really avoided a 152 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: lot of what. 153 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: You're seeing happen in Minneapolis and California, where you've got governors, 154 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: you've got local politicians that are saying, we're not going 155 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: to cooperate, and that's why you see all the mess 156 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: on the ground, all these kind of writing kind of situations. 157 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: Where again, if you just cooperate, if you just work 158 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: with the federal government to do what I think the 159 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: overwhelming majority of American support, which is deporting these criminals 160 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: of the first place, you don't have these situations. 161 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: Indiana Rep. Andrew Ireland here on the Hammer of Nigel Show, 162 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: finally before we let you go, I mean, I know 163 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: you're a state Rep. But from your perspective, you're thirty 164 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: thousand foot on what you saw for the State of 165 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the Union address and President Trump and his message and 166 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 1: then the ensuing lashing out of the Democrats before, during, 167 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: and after the State of the Union address. 168 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: Well, it's amazing to me when you have something like 169 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: the President's saying we're going to stop insider trading in Congress, 170 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: that you have members of Congress that don't want to 171 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: stand up for that. Sertain raises some eyebrows. I'll just 172 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: say that I think the Union is a lot stronger 173 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: than it was a year ago. President Trump is delivering 174 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: exactly all the things he promised to do. Still got 175 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: a lot of work left to do, but I'm sure 176 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: glad he's the one that. 177 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Won Andrew Island Idiota State Rep.
