Let them suffer on 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 5: their own. Let these idiots fall on their own. The 17 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 5: people that run the state and the city. 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's some people say, just pull out, let them have, 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: let them be a sanctuary city and have all the 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: trouble that comes with it. But then it would encourage 21 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: the protesters to go to city and do the same thing. 22 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: You don't want that. 23 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 3: If you do it quietly, no more. 24 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: They're being watched day and night. Everybody's watching them, you 25 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do it quietly. Hey, how's the 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: snow out there? In Bethpage? 27 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 5: I got exactly a Footmark, I'm about to head out 28 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 5: and do part two of myselve.

Or is there 31 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: traffic out there? 32 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 4: Yeah? 33 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 5: I see cars in fact right outside, I'm looking aroun 34 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 5: out the window. Now my street is I could see 35 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 5: the payment. I like the guys did a great job. 36 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 5: That takes a great place to live. It. We're just 37 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 5: they're always on top of it. So you know, it's fine. 38 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 5: My wife just went to seven eleven and get me 39 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 5: some coffee. 40 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Things are good, all right, very good. Let's go to 41 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: h Dan and Queens Dan. How's your street look? 42 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 4: Uh? 43 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 6: Normal? 44 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: Oh? Good? 45 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 6: Pretty good, very good. The reason that Democrats are fighting 46 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 6: so so hard in Minnesota is because they know that 47 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 6: Pusband Trump is onto their money schemes, and that's what 48 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 6: it's all about, protecting their money flow from all the 49 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 6: welfare programs. 50 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they got a number of reasons to fight. 51 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: A it does distract from the nineteen billion stolen in Minnesota. 52 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: But also they don't want to lose these illegals because 53 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: they need them for votes. It's one reason Minnesota became 54 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: a blue state because so many illegals got dumped there. 55 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: If you take enough of them out of there, they 56 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: won't have any blue votes, enough blue votes to win. Also, 57 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: if you pull enough of them out of there, they 58 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: can lose a congressional seat or two. That's you know, 59 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: people don't realize how many congressional seats depend on these 60 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: illegals being there. The census counts bodies, not whether the 61 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: citizens or not. So that's why during the Biden administration, 62 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: remember those planes were flying illegals all over the place, 63 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: dropping them off in weird places. That was to add 64 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: to the census get congressional seats there. Let's go to 65 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: Chris in Canada. Chris, how you doing okay? 66 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 4: Mak I wish you went back in Manhattan, though, I tell. 67 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: You, well, we're in Canada. You have snow up there. 68 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm in Montreal. Was minus eight yesterday and 69 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 4: it's fifteen the day before. So you know, I meant 70 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 4: I only meant to be here for three or four days, 71 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 4: and now I'm here for like seven eight days. 72 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Airport's closed. 73 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 4: Can't get back, Well I don't. I don't want to drive. 74 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 4: I drove back and I just called the hotel in 75 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 4: Saratoga to see and they have like eighteen inches, so 76 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 4: I got to drive back through that. 77 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: So I don't want to stay there, say Chris. 78 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 4: But anyway, I agree with the man who called before. 79 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: But I think all of this is done on purpose 80 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 4: to take the pressure off of ill Han and uh 81 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: of course finding the money. But I think this should 82 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 4: be the hill that the Republicans die on to get 83 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 4: these these these voters out of the country. Just show 84 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 4: how many there are and show what a difference it makes. 85 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: I mean, all right, but you got it. 86 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: You do have a problem. Listen, you can't The shooting 87 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: rene good justified, although top police officials off the record, 88 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: so you know you probably didn't have to fire. Just 89 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: get out of the way. You can cature a block 90 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: or two later. But if if you wanted to fire, 91 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: it's justified if you did. I mean, they totally legal. 92 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: The one this weekend, I don't know, it's questionable. It's borderline. 93 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: But again, you don't need these shootings. And again everybody's 94 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: to blame her. You don't want to blame the law 95 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: enforcement guys, the ice guys, because they're in a horrible situation. 96 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: The most blame would go to Mayor Fry, Governor Wallts 97 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: telling people to go confront them, get in their face, 98 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: get physical, confront them. That's just going to cause stuff 99 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: like this. You know, look at January sixth, you had 100 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: a protester shot Ashley Babbitt, no reason to shoot her. 101 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: She was unarmed in about ten fifteen feet away. But 102 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: these guys can you know, even law enforcement, as good 103 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: as they are, they can panic sometimes in those But 104 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: you don't want to have these horrible, horrible, violent confrontations 105 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: going on. And that's remember January sixth. All day long, 106 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: they kept yelling at Trump, go on the air, go online, 107 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: go tell them to go home, tell them to go 108 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Why is anybody saying this to Fry and Waltz? Tell 109 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: these people to go home. Stop the confrontations. Let's go 110 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: to Maria in Yonkers. Maria, how you. 111 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: Doing, Hi? 112 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 2: Mark great?

But he's not doing a 118 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: great job. If he wants to become lieutenant governor. The 119 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,119 Speaker 2: streets are awful out here. 120 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 6: You have about two. 121 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: Feet of snow. 122 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: Oh, so you're not going to work today? 123 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 6: Obviously remote today? 124 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: Oh good? And what do you want to say, Maria? 125 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: I just wanted to comment on Maya Spanner. You got 126 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: to do a better job here in Yonkers. 127 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: Oh. 128 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: Who's the mayor of Yonkers? 129 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 3: Spanel?

That's correct. My daughter was first 133 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: responder and very hot time getting out of the neighborhood here. 134 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: Oh terrible. All right, Well, I hope it gets better today. 135 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: I hope they get those plows out there. Let's go 136 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: to Patrick and Connecticut. Where are you in Connecticut? 137 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: Patrick, Old Line, Connecticut? 138 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 4: Mark? 139 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: Did you get that's way up there? You didn't get 140 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: snow up there, did you? 141 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 3: Yeah? We did, We got about a foot. 142 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: Oh. 143 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: But I wanted to say that it's time on the 144 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: opposite of the people that are calling in, I think 145 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: we need to dial up, not dial back. You know, 146 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: we have to work within the posse Coomatatus Act, but 147 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: it's time to send in the active army to provide 148 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: security for our ICE agents, provide security for federal buildings. 149 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: It's time to take It's time to dial it up 150 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: or this will get out of control. It's it's already talking. 151 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: I think the Attorney general on Arizona's already talking about 152 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: how to use this as civil and the civil disobedience. 153 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well you got a good point there. 154 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: You could use the Insurrection Act and send in the military. 155 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: Now the purpose of the military. ICE needs to do 156 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: their job. Protesters again, if they want to protest, you 157 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: stand over there other side of the street with your 158 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: signs and you yell. And normally this is the real 159 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: difference in Minnesota. Normally police would be containing the protesters 160 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: behind barricades. But the crazy left wing governor and mayor 161 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: in Minnesota want this trouble, so they've pulled the police out. 162 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: So with the Insurrection Act, you can send in the military. 163 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: It's it's been done many many times. It was done 164 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: Rodney King riots in La. They sent in the military 165 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: to maintain order and control things. So the military could 166 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: come in just to set up barricades and contain the 167 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: protesters so they're not physically all over the ICE agents. 168 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: They're across the street on the other side of the street, 169 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: yowling and screaming. That's fine, blowing their whistles, but no 170 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: physical confrontation. So that's another answer. But Tom Holman is 171 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: on his way to Minnesota. He's going to meet with 172 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: everybody there try to settle this. Hey, we'll talk to 173 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: the great talk show host Howie Carr coming up next. 174 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: Let's see what he thinks about all of this. Right 175 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: after the news on seven to ten, wor
