Great you have you with me this afternoon, 3 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: getting ready for Red's baseball and spring training in the 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: Cactus League coming up later on thirteen sixty getting ready 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: for Red's baseball. I guess in about three and a 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: half weeks we're gonna have Red's opening day March twenty 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: sixth or so. But last night I can only say 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: that the state of Union addressed by the President reminded me. 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: I wasn't there in eighteen sixty three in July at 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: the Gettysburg address by Abraham Lincoln, but it had to 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: be a little bit longer, and it was just as 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: profound to me as an American to have such a 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: sense of pride in my nation. And discussed for those 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: who wanted to have a different viewpoint about what happened 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: last night. But joner you and nine now as Congressman 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: Warren Davidson, who was in the hall, and I mentioned 17 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: you off the air, Congressman that I didn't see you 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: much on camera because you weren't holding up signs, didn't 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: have the F word on your lapel, and you up 20 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: at the right time and sat down at other times, 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: and first of all, give me, from your perspective the 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: two or three highlights of last night's speech. 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: Well, it was really an honor to join you, and 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: what an amazing experience to be present for that state 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: of the Union in particular, it's an honor to get 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: to do this job. And that was particularly good, I 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: thought by the President of the United States. I mean, 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: and I think one of the best lines he had 29 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: that summed up really the presidency so far. What a 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: difference a president makes, right, because a lot of what 31 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: he's doing isn't that that we passed major laws. 32 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 3: It's he just followed the law. 33 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: Like it's already illegal to enter the country illegally legally. 34 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: So he secured the border. 35 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: And you know, we didn't have to pass some new 36 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: law for him to secure the border. He just followed 37 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: the law and secured the border. And you know, he 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: didn't have to create some new law to. 39 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: Remove people in the country illegally. 40 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: He just followed the law and removed people from the 41 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: country who are here illegally, just like Obama day, you know, 42 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: with Tom Hommes and who was the same guy that 43 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: WELLMA awarded, you know for leading ice before so and 44 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: you look at crime, you know, I thought one of 45 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: the real moments that kind of sums up the other 46 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: part of the speech is he talked about Arena Zarutzka, 47 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 2: who was murdered on public transportation in Charlotte, Charlotte, North 48 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: Carolina by a guy who's you know, more than twelve offenses, 49 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: you know, but set free with no cash bail. And 50 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: we see some of those kind of crazy practices going 51 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: on in Cincinnati and Hamilton County, but you don't see 52 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: it in you know, one county north or you know 53 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 2: a county east. You know, so these kinds of things 54 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: that follow the law, and for the life of us, 55 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: we don't see how that's partisan, but yet it is. 56 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: And you saw it when Democrats wouldn't even stand when 57 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: he honored Arena Zerutzka's mother and and some angel moms 58 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: who you know, their children were killed by illegal immigrants, 59 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: and he's like, how do you not stand for that? 60 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: And you know, he's kind of points to them, He's like, 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: these people are crazy, and I you know, that's the thing. 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: It's like normal versus crazy. And I think it was 63 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: highlighted in a lot of ways last. 64 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: Night when the US hockey Olympic team came in Jack 65 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: Hughes and n Connor Hellbuck. I'm not much of a 66 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: hockey fan. I don't understand what it means to be 67 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: off sides icing. 68 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: I don't know. 69 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that meant, but I do know 70 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: that there was such a sense of pride on that 71 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: morning when most of us got up. Twenty six million 72 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: Americans watched all or part of the hockey and what 73 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: happened at the end with Jack Ughes, etc. And they 74 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: had them come down there at the State Union Address. 75 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: And then I watch MSNBC, so you don't have to. 76 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: I assume you didn't see this morning's coverage. I watch 77 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: it because I have to, and I want to get 78 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: a perspective of the radical left. Did you know the 79 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: USA Hockey team is a political prop that are young 80 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: men that don't know what they're doing, and they're being 81 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: used by the president to promote a right wing agenda. 82 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: Did you know that? 83 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 84 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised, you know. And probably the biggest ratio 85 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: ever on Twitter is the Huffington Post or the Huffington 86 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: Puffyton Post, as Rush Limbo like to refer to them. 87 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: In the midst of men and women both winning gold medals. 88 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: They put out a tweet on X this said, you 89 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: know who's offended and just disgusted by all these flag 90 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: waving ceremonies, And you're like, if you can't feel like. 91 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: USA, USA, USA, right after. 92 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: The men and women win gold in the Olympics, you 93 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: know what's wrong with you? And you know that isn't 94 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: It's also like not partisan in our slice of America. 95 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a few crazy people that give credence 96 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: to this, you know, in our neck of the woods. 97 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: But here in DC, somehow that's partisan. 98 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: But even for the hockey team, I will say Democrats 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: stood for the hockey team. They stood for that, and 100 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: they stood for the two medals of honor. And I 101 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: will say everybody, there's probably twenty or thirty Democrats that 102 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: didn't stand for anything, including the hockey team, including two 103 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: medals of honor, one guy one hundred years old, one 104 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: guy just from the Venezuela mission, an incredible heroic action. 105 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: And then there were seventy or so that didn't even come. 106 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: You know, they held their own little counter protest out 107 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: there with the furries on the mall. So you know, 108 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: there are some crazy folks, but it's well out of 109 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: step with what most people believe in our neck of 110 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: the woods. 111 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 3: Thankfully. 112 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: I asked you off there about Congresswoman Rashida Talib and 113 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: also Maxine Waters, unrelated to Jesse Waters, I think Fox News, 114 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: and you told me off the air that Rashida Talib, 115 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: who wore the F button, is sitting there worldwide State 116 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: of the Union address representing America. She's got the F 117 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: word on her lapel. And also Maxine Waters, who has 118 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: never had a good day. And I look at those 119 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: two and you told me off the air that they're 120 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: kind of normal people away from the microphones. 121 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 3: Is that? Are they normal? 122 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: You go at times and you're like, I don't know 123 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 2: if they have split personality or not. You know which 124 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: one's the real personality, but they're both in the kit 125 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: bag and you see, you know, mad max Maxine Waters 126 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: is at time, you know, that's her brand publicly and 127 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 2: ra sheated to lead, can seem pretty toxic, but in 128 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: other situations she talked to him, they seem like reasonable, 129 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: like okay, decent neighbors, maybe even just to avoid. 130 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 3: Politics, you know. 131 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: And it is an interesting place in that way, and 132 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: there's things that don't make the news, like we've passed 133 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: a housing bill, you know, a couple of weeks ago, 134 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: unanimously about a month ago in Financial Services Committee, unanimously 135 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: out of our committee, and three hundred and ninety votes 136 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: on the floor of the House. So not took the 137 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: partisan Republican bills out, the partisan Democrat bills out. And 138 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: they're both on the Financial Services Committee. And you know, 139 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: we were able to work together constructively because people do 140 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: want housing to be more affordable for everyone. But then 141 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: if you go do the interviews, generally they'll come up 142 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: with some toxic comment and blame Trump for everything. 143 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: Well, it's unbelievable. And last night was lengthy, almost two 144 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: hours long. And I said at the end, I asked 145 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: out about this, tweeted out about this. Then maybe there 146 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: should be a vote by acclamation that in twenty twenty 147 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: s we call off the presidential election and simply let 148 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Trump serve as long as he wants. 149 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 3: How popular would that be. 150 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: Well, it'd be very popular with about twenty or thirty 151 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: percent of the base, but it'd be extremely unpopular with 152 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: a lot of the rest of the country. And he 153 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: did have a funny joke He's think it should be 154 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: his third term right now, because you know, I think 155 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: there's a lot of evidence that there was a lot 156 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: of problems with the twenty twenty election. Obviously, that's still 157 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: something that resonates with President Trump and a lot of 158 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: our constituents, you know, and that's where, like, you know, 159 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: you talk policy in the future. One of the things 160 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: President Trump laid out was past the Save America Act, 161 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: which is very simple and it's already the law in Ohio. 162 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: You got to show voter ID. There's only a teen 163 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: states that you don't have to have voter ID in. 164 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: But all the Democrats are united and saying, oh, this 165 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: is terrible and it's oppressive and it stops women in 166 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: minorities from voting. And I'm like, well, apparently the women 167 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: in minorities in Ohio have found a way to vote, 168 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: you know. And the other one is you've got to 169 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: be a citizen. And you know, we had a referendum 170 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: on that in Ohio a couple of years ago, I 171 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: think twenty twenty two, and you know, my Democrat opponent 172 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: at the time said, oh, there are no illegal people, 173 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: so everyone. 174 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: Should be able to vote. 175 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: Even the state Democratic Party wouldn't touch that they're like, look, 176 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: this isn't you know. The illegals, of course shouldn't vote 177 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: in Ohio, but you do have states where they're doing it, 178 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: and that's why we need to pass it. You have 179 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: fourteen states in particular that are really bad on these 180 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: kinds of issues, and you know, it seems like we 181 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: ought to get Republicans in Democrats from all the other states, 182 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: and at least the Republicans from those fourteen states. 183 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: They say, yeah, this is common sense, but it. 184 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: Breaks on party lines and we can't find a way 185 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: to get it through the Senate. 186 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: It's passed twice in the House congressmen on the issue 187 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: of illegal voting. Right now, parts of the federal government 188 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: are shut down. That is, this Secret Service is not 189 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: being paid, Homeland Security is not being paid large numbers 190 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: of people. We have a crisis on the Eastern seaboard 191 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: with the blizzard that hit. I would assume soon there'll 192 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: be more weather crises of one type or another. TSA 193 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: is not being paid, and so that's being done so 194 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: to coerce you to change the rules, to change the 195 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: law when it comes to when it comes to ice, 196 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: what is the status of the Voter Protection Act the 197 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: so called Safe Act as we speak this Wednesday afternoon, 198 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: by the way, two thirty five. Today we go to 199 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: Reds baseball with the Chicago White Sox. But nonetheless, h 200 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: d see by the end of the week this thing 201 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: ending in the Democrats voting it reopened the government. 202 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: Now, I mean, you know, we found a way to 203 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: get it through because we can push it out on 204 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: party lines in the House. But the real hang up 205 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: is the Senate. And you know, Schumer's put out his 206 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: list of demands. President Trump's negotiating England Schumer and you 207 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: could see last night he's like, look amount of patience 208 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: to you guys. You're just you know, pushing for things 209 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: that aren't going to happen. And we already funded ICE, 210 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: so they're doing it over defund ice. Ice is already funded. 211 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: We funded that with a big beautiful bill. So there's 212 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: no change there. Uh. And the things that they want 213 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: to do with ICE are you know, essentially to get 214 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: them to stop enforcing the law or you know, so 215 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: there are some some reform that people could agree to 216 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: and say, okay, fine, we can be you know, you know, 217 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: clear cut about how ICE works and everything more professionalized. 218 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: But the same day. They want to get rid of ICE. 219 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: Well, they used ICE as travel agents back when Joe 220 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: Biden was president. They had tents set up at the 221 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: border and the same guys that work at ICE today 222 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: were being deployed temporary duty to go down to the 223 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: border and basically say which sanctuary city would you like 224 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: to go to? And Morale was just in the pits. 225 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: I mean, these guys, you you you knew what they 226 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: were doing before you get to the border, but you 227 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: couldn't appreciate it until you went on the ground and 228 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: just saw like they joined you know, customs in bor 229 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: Patrol or ICE because they wanted to secure the border. 230 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: They want to defend America and they know they were 231 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: doing the opposite at the time. Well, now you have 232 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: people that have you know, orders from the president to 233 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: follow the law and do you know their job that 234 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: they came to do, and they're they're deploying in cities 235 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: around the country and they're making them more safe like Washington, 236 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: d C. Like you know, even Minneapolis at some marginal 237 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: level hopefully it is a little more safe. 238 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: But Memphis and. 239 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: New Orleans places where we've sent a surge of enforcement 240 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: effort just to focus on applying the law, and we 241 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 2: need to shut down these sanctuary cities. If you look 242 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: at the cartels, if you follow the news, you know 243 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: the Mexican government took out one of the leaders of 244 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: the New Hollisco cartel down there and arrested some other 245 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: cartel members, and they responded with essentially acts of terror, 246 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 2: including against Americans and shutting off roads and everything else. 247 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: These are the kinds of people that are embedded in 248 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: cities all over the country and not random cities sanctuary cities, 249 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: because they're like, yeah, Okay, these are strategic locations, so 250 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: come here and we'll keep you safe. And that's what 251 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: places like Minneapolis are doing. And so they're completely not 252 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: cooperating at times. And I will say they improved that 253 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: when Tom Homan went up and negotiated with them. So 254 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: hopefully we can just fund the government and get on 255 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: with life, right. 256 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson on that, you brought up the issue 257 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: of the same laws operating now or exactly the same 258 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: laws under Barack Hussain Obama when more than five million 259 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: illegals were deported the same law, and you talk about 260 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: Hamlet County and maybe Butler County, and I know Kenton 261 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: County had on the rob Sanders the other day that 262 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: the same law applies to Sincere Griggsby in Hamletin County 263 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: as to another Sincere Griggsby that might be in Butler County. 264 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: By that, I mean this, We had a ring of 265 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: a young individuals stealing cars that they would use to 266 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: commit robberies, burglaries, and just joy riding to watch them 267 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: wreck and destroy people's lives. One of those individuals, Ryan Hinton, 268 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: was killed by Cincinnati police when he pointed a gun 269 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: at a cop, and he's dead. One of the other 270 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: crew members is a guy named Sincere Griggsby. He was 271 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: given probation, of course for all those activities. He is 272 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: a nasty previous criminal record. He's in front of Judge 273 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: Katie Cash and she gives him a probation. While on probation, 274 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: he was three weeks after probation was and he's back 275 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: to his arm robbery ways, sticking guns in people's faces 276 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: and stealing money. He then goes back to court the 277 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: next day under arrest and he gets a very low bond. 278 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: Since here breags me, let's say in Butler County and 279 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: your district now involves I think at least Butler County 280 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: and parts of Hamilety County. What if in Butler County 281 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: the same section sections of the law were violated by 282 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: some person in Hamilton, do you think they'd be dealt 283 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: with the same way. 284 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: No, they're a clearly different approach. I mean. 285 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 2: And the great thing is is in Hamilton County, you know, 286 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: the local law enforcement did their jobs. They arrest the guy, 287 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: they find him, you got to prosecute him, and then 288 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 2: you bring them before a judge and you get these 289 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: creampuff sentences and they're back on the street. And it 290 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: does demoralize law enforcement because you go bring people in 291 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: and they're like, well, there's not going to be no justice, 292 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: I mean, ringing miners, and there is no justice for 293 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: some of these people. 294 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: They have a very different approach through the county. 295 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 2: And this is where you want to think, well, look, 296 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 2: the facts and circumstances of cases matter, so I just 297 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: should be able to you know, judge, that's that that. 298 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: That's literally their job. 299 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: And but but then you go, well, look, we clearly 300 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: have people that aren't capable of exercising reasonable judgment, so 301 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 2: we need mandatory sentencing laws. And and that's where you 302 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: see like the case in Charlotte where this guy that 303 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: killed Arena Zarutskas slashed her throat and stabbed her uh 304 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: and she bled out in seconds right after that. 305 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: Just a horrific thing to watch the video of. 306 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: But this case, you know, a dozen plus times violent 307 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: crimes and then he gets no bail. 308 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and and. 309 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: You know at some point you're like, shouldn't there be 310 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: like you've done enough violence, you get an extra ten years. 311 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: Like we're not reforming this person. They just need to 312 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: be set aside from society. And the reality is if 313 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: you took like, you know, the top you know, few 314 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: percentage yet few percentage points of people that commit crimes, 315 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: and you're talking maybe two hundred people in all of 316 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: Hamilton County, if you just put them in jail, the 317 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: crime rate would go down by like eighty percent. 318 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 3: Right, Democrats don't want them. I don't want that. I 319 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: don't want that. 320 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 2: No, and that's where you're like, we shouldn't have to 321 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: go to mandatory sentencing things, but apparently you do because 322 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: judges just don't exercise judgment and somehow they get elected, 323 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: which is crazy. 324 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: Well, lastly, on one other issue of last night's State 325 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: of Union address was that illegal truck drivers should be 326 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: able to read English. Good friends of mine in the business, 327 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: Wayne Carucci, Jeff Beckham and others are outraged with the 328 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: idea that truck drivers cannot read and speak English.
