1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: So you can protest ICE all you want. 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 2: You could be Chicago or Portland, make asses of yourselves, 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: but the real reality is that people are flocking to 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 2: join ICE, and ICE pays well. 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: It's the Hammer and Nigel show. I'm Jason Hammer. Jim 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: is here filling in for Big Nige and according to 7 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: Trisiaan McLoughlin, she is one of the information folks that 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: works for Immigration, Custom and Enforcement ICE. A total of 9 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five thousand Americans have applied to 10 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: join ICE. 11 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 3: I think a lot of it is going to have 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: to do with that. They're promoting a fifty thousand dollars 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 3: sign on bonus. Now, from what I've heard, pretty tough 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: to get that fifty thousand dollars the fullth of fifty thousand, 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: but you can get a pro rated amount before that. 16 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: But I actually a friend of mine applied for it. 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 3: An old media guy isn't working right now, applied for 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 3: communications job at ICE. So lots of people are doing it. Clearly, 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy five thousand right. 20 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: And it proves that it's not just about the money though, 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: because IMPD is offering a lot of money to join 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: their police force and they're still having a hard time 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: with recruitment. It all goes back to who your boss is. 24 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about the boss of the IMPDE. 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Boss hog Set and Ryan Mears, the 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: bosses of this city. The reason why you need police 27 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: officers at record numbers right now, the last five years 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: in the city of Indianapolis record homicide levels. Now they 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: will argue and say they've gone down from the record 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: level that they were responsible for, So don't get it twisted. 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, fifty thousand dollars is nice, but I feel 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: like if IMPD offered more than that, they would still 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: have a hard time because nobody wants to have to 34 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: see Ryan Meers putting the same people back out on 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: the streets or Boss hogg Set throwing them under the bus. 36 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: People want to work for Donald Trump. Well, people want 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: to do something that brings meaning to their life when 38 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: they take a job. And you know, immigration was the 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: top issue in recent elections, still a top issue. 40 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 3: People want to be part of the problem, you know, 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: the solution that's going to solve that problem. And yeah, 42 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: you're exactly right, big deal. Okay, violence is down in 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: Indianapolis from twenty twenty one when it hit a record high, 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 3: but it's still way ahead pre COVID levels. 45 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Right, there was a time, and it wasn't that long ago. 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm old man standing at the cloud here. 47 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: There was a time not that long ago in Indianapolis 48 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: where if you got to one hundred homicides you were 49 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: freaking out. And now two hundred is the norm. And 50 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: if it's not a record, then you've got Captain drunk 51 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: Ass and Captain pander Pants, respectively, Joe Hogg set and 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: Ryan Meers coming out here doing a victory lap. 53 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: Well, and it doesn't feel like it either. And again 54 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: you can say it's down from a few years ago, great, 55 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: but we have these stories where violence is everywhere in 56 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: the city and when it had happens downtown and gets 57 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: a ton of headlines, it doesn't feel like there is 58 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: a decline in violence.
