Um, we have more information now too. Well, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:21.880 let me let me just give you a quick roadmap 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.119 to the show before I get into that and try 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.840 to talk about a whole array of issues today. I 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.200 really want to mix it up because I feel like 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.720 there's been a understandably but there's been a very singular 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.160 focus to the news cycle in last week or so. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:40.039 I'd like to get to the possibility of a slapdown 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:44.479 to public sector unions requiring people to pay dues whether 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.960 they want to or not. Spreme Courts, UH. Spreme Court 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:54.240 heard oral arguments on that earlier today. We'll discuss that. Also, 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:59.480 some stuff on sanctuary cities, including the mayor of Oakland 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:04.040 who's warning people about impending ice raids. You know this, 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.920 this gets interesting, folks, because sometimes law enforcement will even 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.680 make arrests and they'll claim obstruction of either government administration 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.760 or obstruction of law enforcement duties. And they've even done that. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.519 There was a case a while back where a guy 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.200 was flashing his lights to warn somebody of a speed trap. 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:25.000 Now I think that's law enforcement overreach and arrest that guy, 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.440 but they did. Um interesting to see a in an 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.400 elected official in a in a major city like Oakland 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.080 giving people, giving people their heads up. Hey, hey, people 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.720 breaking the law. Federal government's gonna come in and I 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.760 want to talk to some of you. So there's debt, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.280 and then also the Democrat memo. We've got our buddy 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.240 Andy McCarthy will be joining on that later on in 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.760 the show. I'm not opening with it or getting into 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.919 in the first hour because my predictions about it were 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.840 essentially entirely spot on, as tends to be my tends 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.840 to be my habit here, which is that it's there's 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.800 really no new information. All the good stuff is blocked out, 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.440 and what's left is talking points from Adam Schiff, partisan 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.040 whining and a repeat of what you'd see on MSNBC 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.240 or or CNN or any given night with regard to 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.920 FIS abuse, the targeting of the Trump administration, the targeting 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.240 of those officials. Right. This is it was just Adam 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.960 shift talking points, although they do admit that they oh yeah, 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.919 there was Papadopoulis and Carter and the dossier. Those are 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.440 all things that are oh yeah, the stuff you know 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.360 about that, that's that's a real thing that those names 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.760 appear in the dossier. I mean those names appeared rather 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.920 in the memo. The dossier was in fact used for 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.520 the FIES warrant. This is all very important and very 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.760 troubling stuff that we will get there in the third 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.520 hour with our friend Andy McCarthy and then end up 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:57.760 the show with some crazy left wing actually shutting down 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.560 speech by turning off the speakers. You're gonna have to 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.040 stay with me for that one. We'll have some fun 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.440 with that in the third hour. But the biggest story 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.440 in the country still right now is the aftermath of 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:14.480 a terrible shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.960 and the gun controlled debate and discussion has been moving forward, 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:25.440 all moving forward. Despite all the uh bad arguments that 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.479 we've heard in the past, it seems this time around 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.560 there there will in fact be some changes. There's already 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:36.360 been changing state of Florida, and we need to look 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.640 at what's coming right now. We also have more information 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:46.799 or at least more soundbites from Sheriff Israel, Sheriff Scott 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:54.400 Israel of Broward County, who is looking like such a disgraceful, 0:04:54.760 --> 0:05:05.240 distasteful o leagans fellow in all this just just slippery dissembling. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.039 I gotta stop using all the different words. But you 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.040 know what I mean, the guys, the guys coming off 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.800 like a jerk and a liar. There we go, Buck 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.479 use the good words jerk and liar. That's accurate. And look, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.080 Jake Tapper had that CNN town hall which as I 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.479 told you what was It was a debacle and it 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.520 was just people shouting and yelling and Dana lash looking 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.800 at everybody saying, Okay, let's talk about policies. Oh burn her, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.679 she's terrible murderer, you know. No, let's talk about policies 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.120 that will make everyone safe for the oh burn her. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.400 I mean, it's just crazy what was going on there. 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.840 I mean, see, I would say CNN should be ashamed. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.080 Let's see, Ann has no shape. Come on, I'm not 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.720 ashamed about this. I'm sure the ratings are pretty good. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.600 I ended up watching it on replay, which was a 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.359 painful experience, but it was a real thing that I 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.440 had to do. And you had Tapper, Jake Tapper over 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.440 at CNN who got the big interview, which what everybody 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.680 wanted UH to hear this weekend, which was Sheriff Scott Israel. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.560 And here is because this goes to the whole notion 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:12.640 of law enforcement's role in this and I will say it. 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.920 I mean, law enforcement in this case messed up big time. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.719 That's not new. You already know that, right, but we 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.640 need to understand the degree, the scale, and the specifics 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.520 of the mess up because we're gonna have any kind 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.680 of a serious discussion about stopping the next one, or 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.520 at least having a chance of stopping the next one. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.200 We gotta know what happened this time around, right, You 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.760 need to be very honest me to do an after 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.080 action report, and that's what we are doing here on 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.520 this show. What could have been different? What could have 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.080 been done to avoid this? From a law enforcement perspective. 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:49.760 I'll get into the gun stuff later, and I also 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.679 want to talk about the Australia comparison, because I'm seeing 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.040 a lot of that right now. We even had some 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.640 former Australian pms on TV, you know, talking about how 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.200 they think that maybe maybe we should follow in their 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.880 footsteps when it comes to guns. You know, look, we 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.599 all know alls. These are great people. I've always wanted 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.480 to go to Australia, never been, but I've met lot, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.800 I know lots of Australians. I love Aussies, um, But 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.320 I don't need to hear from their Prime ministers on 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.840 guns because not surprisingly, they don't know what the heck 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:23.200 they're talking about. So we'll get into that aspect of 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.720 this as well. But first on law enforcements responsibility here, 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.160 what happened. I mean dozens and dozens of calls to 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.000 the house Nicolas Cruz, people saying that he was going 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.040 to be a shooter. FBI got the most detailed tip, 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.280 the most detailed information imaginable. You know, here's his name, 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.400 Here's where he lives, Here's why I think he's a threat. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.000 Here are people you can talk to about this. How 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:52.320 that does not get moved up the chain of command, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:57.320 How that's not considered a a major issue is a problem. 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.640 You see? This is This is I know, a tense 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.480 play for some people to go, but I'm going to 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:07.040 go there. I'm not saying that the Counterintelligence Division of 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.120 the FBI has anything to do with the field office 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.880 in Miami or Brower County, or whichever specific FBI office 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.880 was handling this, or the FBI office that took the tip, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.480 whatever it may be. Right, fbis field offices across the country. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.680 I'm not saying that, oh, well, one office was doing 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.280 one thing, another office was doing another. At zero sum. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.680 So now I understand they handled thousands and thousands and 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:34.280 thousands of cases, so it wasn't a resources went into 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:41.520 the FISA dossier. Carter Paige surveillance situation and therefore did 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.040 not go And I mean, that's a that's a nonsense argument. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.960 I understand that. Of course. I always love it as well. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.520 And people who have never worked in intelligence or law 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.600 enforcement to get all mad at me on Twitter, well 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.079 maybe if you understood the different field office separation from 0:08:55.080 --> 0:09:00.720 the group. Thanks uh thanks, you know, women's in gender 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.599 studies professor, like, I got this, Okay, I don't. I 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.760 don't really need the the unnecessary lecture where you don't 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.400 know what you're saying and I do. Um. Here's why 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.960 I will say, though there are protocols in place, there 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.680 are rules so to speak, for how much attention and 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.240 how rapid the escalation should be when law enforcement is 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:27.600 presented with different situations. Right if, for example, somebody called 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:33.720 in an active shooter situation anywhere across the country, Right 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.600 if somebody said, you know, there's an active shooting going 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.480 on at X place, you would expect that there would 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.680 be or you know, and aiven an active shooter situation 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.800 even you would expect there would be a rapid response 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.400 of what we call e SU here in New York 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:52.160 City Emergency Services units basically swat UM. But that's what 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.839 you would expect and if that didn't happen, you'd want 0:09:55.840 --> 0:10:01.000 to know why. And if you called in a uh, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.560 you know, a lost cat up a tree, although I 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.600 guess that is maybe a fire department issue, right, does 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.000 in the fire department whatever, Let's say, let's say in 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.360 your locality, that's a police matter. A officer so and 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:17.840 so has it the feeline has escalated the arboreal sanctuary 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.199 in Yeah, but let's say that the officer has that one, right, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.839 you would expect that the officer to go help the 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.600 cat in the tree. You know, I'm being a little 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.440 facetious here, but you get what I'm saying. You expect 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.880 that there would be a guy who or gal who 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.720 would show up when they could as they could, in 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:38.040 no particular hurry or rush. He has to do with priority, right, 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.160 It's not that one. There's resources for one, there's no 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.280 resources for the other. It's just a question of what 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:49.199 gets attention and movement at what speed? Right, serious crime, 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.600 you know, felony in progress, cops sirens blazing, and I 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.480 know that is the protocol, and the FBI has said 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.920 the protocol was not followed with the active shooters with 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.080 the tip about the would be active or in Florida. 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.680 But that still doesn't make me feel like it's it's 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.439 it's out of line then to say, you know, Carter Page, 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.360 still not convicted of a crime, still not accused of 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.640 a crime, no evidence presented of a crime, and just 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.319 you know, surveillance and you know FBI and all the 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.839 stuff that's going on, and with all the different tips 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.160 and all the different red flags we've have with Nicholas Cruz, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.800 somehow it was not I'm sorry, but it was not 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.320 prioritized the way that it should have been. So you see, 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.520 that's the difference between it's it's not a resources it's 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.840 not a zero sum resources argument. It's a what gets 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.960 people in law enforcement, in the different agencies and departments 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.920 involved to move to go to take something seriously, and 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.240 a tip about an active shooter is a much more serious, 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.360 much bigger deal than some clown who's hanging out with 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.360 Russians and may or may not you know, want to 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.360 help them set up some sock puppets to say mean 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.040 things about hill Alory. I'm that that's just the reality 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.040 of the situation. People got very mad at me for 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.800 saying it wrote something, you know, let something rip over 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.080 the weekend on this one, Um, I should stay off 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.280 social media the weekends because it's just you need to, 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:15.800 I need to dial it down a little bit, but 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.560 or dial it off. But that's one thing that really 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.920 struck me here is that you see that we have 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.840 this vast law enforcement apparatus. We have the best police 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:34.000 in the world, uh and dealing with incredibly difficult circumstances 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.679 and policing communities and doing it so well. I mean, 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.280 you know, New York City is almost as safe as Tokyo, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.080 our largest city, not just because I'm here and I 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.720 know it the best of the various law enforcement challenges, 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.720 but you know, cities and a lot of you are 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.679 sitting around you're like, yeah, buck well, where I live, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.880 where I'm listening to this show right now. You know, 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.240 we average about in this county, you know, one murder 0:12:55.360 --> 0:13:00.120 year maybe, and it's generally a domestic dispute gone wrong, 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.840 gone wrong. Right. I mean, there's we are. We are 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.400 overall a very very safe country. In fact, once you 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.199 start taking drug related violent crime out of the situation, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.000 which means that unless you generally speaking people I know 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.600 get hitting the cross fire. And but unless you are 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.559 around that in one way or another, UM, it's unlikely 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.800 to affect you. Um, we are actually a very very 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.960 safe country and our law enforcement does an incredible job. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.840 Go spend some time in Mexico, talk to some journalists 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.040 there or or just average every day Mexicans about what 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.320 they think of their police and how their police are doing. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.240 And it's just known that in and there are whole counties, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.440 were states they would call them, but their whole states 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.160 where you can't trust the local police. You can only 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.400 trust the federal police. The federalists, you can't trust the 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.640 local police. So we have a debt of gratitude to 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.560 law enforcement this country day in and day out. With 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:58.199 that said, Sheriff Israel and his entire sheriff's department and 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.400 the folks that showed up from his department on the 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.520 scene immediately, including that one officer Peterson who did not 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.560 go in, are a disgrace to the profession. A disgrace 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.920 to the profession. And I mentioned Jake Tapper before he 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:17.200 he at least asked the relevant questions here. Do you 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.520 think that the Broward Sheriff's office had done things differently, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.320 this shooting might not have happened. Listen, if ifs and 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.280 butts were candy and nuts. Uh you know Uh O J. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.320 Simpson would still be in the record book. I don't 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.160 know what that means. Dead people. And there's a whole 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.400 long list of things your department could have done differently. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.800 How could listen? Uh, that's what that's what after action 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.480 reports are, that's for Lessons learned reports are for. Is 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:47.440 this guy Israel? Is he an imbecile? If if ifs 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.640 and butts were candy and nuts, what the heck is 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.880 he talking about? This guy is in charge of one 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.280 of the largest sheriff's departments in the country. You gotta 0:14:58.280 --> 0:14:59.720 be kidding me. The only way this is possible. Oh, 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:04.240 that's right, he's elected. He's a politician. Okay. Oh, he's 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:10.480 in Debbie Wasserman Schultz's district. Oh. And there's some other 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.880 stories about this district that have been bubbling up over 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.120 the weekend. There's some other information about this that we 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.960 should all know. Give us a better sense of how 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.080 was it possible that there could be such incompetence and 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:25.440 such cowardice in a sheriff's department in a major county 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.280 in Florida. We'll get into all that a much more 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.320 eight four to five eight four four nine. Buck will 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:38.640 be right back. Are you really not taking any responsibility 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.400 for the multiple red flags that were brought to the 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.160 attention of the Broward Sheriff's Office about this shooter before 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.680 the incident, Jake, I could only take responsibility for what 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.680 I knew about. I exercises my my due diligence. I've 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:58.080 given amazing leadership to this agent. Amazing leaders I've worked, Yes, Jake, 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:04.120 you don't measure a person's leadership by a deputy not 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.960 going into These deputies received the training they needed. Maybe 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.480 you measue somebody's leadership, but whether or not they protect 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:15.440 the community. Maybe. Like at Jake Tapper, I think that 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.760 he knew that he had he had to come out 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.440 swinging after that town hall fiasco or yeah, the town 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.280 hall thing whatever they called it. Um, but he did 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.080 a good job here. I I call it like I 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.160 see it. And I think that Tapper pushed back in 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.480 this interview amazing leadership. You know, my my leadership has 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.680 been amazing. This guy Scott Israel, He's what is amazing 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.000 is how quickly he'll throw anybody else under the bus. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.800 There's that, right, So you know what this guy you 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.880 don't have to worry about him getting tripped up in 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.000 ethical questions because his first move is gonna be whatever 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.840 is best for Sheriff Israel. That's that's how he's gonna roll. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.920 That's how he's gonna do things. As I said, I'm 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.239 the sheriff. My name's on the door. The people responsible 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.840 are the ones who took the calls and didn't follow 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.600 up on him, as it was with the FBI, as 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.080 it was with with anyone, with any person. Leaders cannot. 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.280 Leaders are responsible for the agency, but leaders are not 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.840 responsible for a person. I gave him a gun, I 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.800 gave him a badge, I gave him a training. If 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.159 he didn't have the heart to go in, that's not 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:29.000 my responsibility. Oh I, I I have to disagree Sheriff Israel. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.720 You know, if you'd like a dump coward and like 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.080 I don't do nothing about it. You know, I'm gonna 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.000 keep my job, my my parks and my big pension, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.439 and that's how we're gonna do it. I disagree with 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.320 Sheriff Israel here um. And I think that let many 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.040 of you listening who are current or former military be saying, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.080 oh yeah, I'm from the officer and one of one 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.400 of my men does something terrible under my command, I'm 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:57.240 in trouble. Actually. In fact, I had a friend many 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:02.520 years ago who in combat and our hawk was wrongfully 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.040 at one point associated with conduct that had nothing to 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.560 do with him, but it was meant under his command, 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.399 and he was in some real legal jeopardy for a 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.359 short while there until it was all cleared up. But 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.320 he no one ever thought he had done anything wrong. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.080 He just was the officer and it was in and 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.720 it was in combat, it was in an intense firefight, 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.760 and he was a buddy of mine. I remember we 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.359 had a long talk. We spent a whole night just 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:29.879 drinking beers, back when I used to be able to 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.040 drink beer, and he told me about everything. And that 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.840 was after the legal jeopardy had passed. But that's how 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.000 it's the military and law enforcement. Guess, you know, pardon 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.080 the phrase, where does the buck stop? Early? Doesn't stop? 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.679 A sheriff Israel? That that much he's clear about. You know, 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.080 he's keeping his job. He's not stepping down. He's not resigning. 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.360 I think quite clearly, Sheriff, it's got Israel should resign 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.959 if there is to be any accountability for this situation, 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:04.399 it should be with first and foremost by many, many miles, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.360 in many orders of magnitude, the shooter h even though 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.520 the press likes to pretend that number two on that 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.159 list is the n r A, and this has led 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.080 down to some corporate backlash that we'll get into in 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.600 a moment. I think number two on the list should 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.399 be the guy who stood outside didn't do anything, and 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.000 number three should be Sheriff Israel himself. That's how I 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.200 see it. What do you think we'll be right back? 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:31.160 You know, I got to watch some deputy sheriff's performing 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:36.239 this weekend. They weren't exactly Medal of Honor winners, all right. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:41.919 The way they performed was frankly disgusting. They were listening 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.119 to what was going on. The one in particularly he 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.560 was then he was earlier than you had three others. 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.200 You know, I really believe you don't know until you 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.600 test it. But I think I really believe I'd run 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.040 into even if I didn't have a weapon, And I 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:55.639 think most of the people in this room would have 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.480 done that too, because I know most of you. But 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:04.800 the way performed was was really a disgrace. I've got 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:06.600 to agree with the president, and I've agreed with them 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.720 all along. And I've seen a lot of people who 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:13.040 have come forward who are current or former law enforcement, 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.879 current or former military people who have run toward the gunfire. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.880 I was gonna say before and in some cases, men, 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.440 you men, you many times before those you listening to 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:31.240 who you are and just saying that you know this 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:37.119 is this is completely unacceptable. The government doesn't allow me 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.760 right in New York City, in New York State even 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:44.800 as well, doesn't allow me to carry around a firearm. 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.359 I've had enough weapons training in my day that anyone 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:50.000 around me would be safer from the prospect of violent 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.000 crime if I were armed. But I'm not allowed to 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.120 be armed here, and I live in a state that 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.119 that's not going to change anytime soon, right, So I 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.000 can't walk around with a arm on my hip. And 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.240 part of the contract here, if you will, is that 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:12.480 the government will provide people, sworn law enforcement officers who 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.199 will risk themselves to save the lives of those of 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.439 us who are not allowed to carry. And I know 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.240 in some places you are allowed to carry. Is different, 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.959 but it's it's particularly feels particularly egregious. You know, when 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.199 you start to think about what this would mean nationwide 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:29.119 and across the country. Oh now, oh well, you know, 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.320 we can't. We can't expect law enforcement to to put 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.280 themselves at risk. They're putting themselves at risk every day, 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.639 put themselves at risk during traffic stops, when they go 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:43.320 into domestic domestic disputes. I think, actually, just recently, an 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:47.640 officer was killed in Baltimore, Maryland. He was off duty. 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:49.879 It was just intervening in a domestic dispute, which is 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:51.320 the way of saying, you know, I think a husband 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.240 and wife or a girlfriend and boy from her fighting, 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.399 you got killed. The law enforcement was taking risks all 0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:00.399 the time. Why would we not in full? Was that 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:05.240 expectation on people who are sworn law enforcement, who are 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.920 armed in the circumstances where they have the most obligation, 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.760 the most clear obligation to protect life out of school shooting? 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.560 What could be more obviously and more obvious and cut 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.200 and driving that. I was very surprised at some of 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.399 the pushback that I was initially hearing over this, but 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.000 I think it is that has died down a bit, 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:31.439 and so now we can just I I wanted to 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.040 spend some time with you all on this law enforcements 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:41.160 failures here are being pushed aside by the left because 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.520 the narrative has to be about gun control, not about 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:47.399 law enforcement. Failed at every level at every opportunity in 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:52.720 the Stoneman Douglas shooting, and they did. They failed that 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:56.680 at every single juncture, at every opportunity. But also note 0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.640 and others have been pointing this out, it is strange 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:02.840 to me. I look, I don't do the conspiracy thing here. 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:05.840 You guys all know that, and gals, I don't mind 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:10.240 a microaggression, um, but I don't do the thing where 0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.000 I just come up with some conspiracy that I think 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:13.880 will get people. Who is and I want to hear 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:15.879 more about this crazy thing this guy is saying, right, 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:19.840 because I try to give you objective truth as much 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:24.159 as possible all the time. But it is hard not 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:29.879
