1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: Hey, that folks, it is Monday, March second, and has

2
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: the war come to the homeland? Welcome to this episode

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: of Amy and TJ. We say that robes because the

4
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: war with Iran just started a matter of the weekend,

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: and already the FBI is now looking into a possible

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: act of terrorism on the homeland, in particularly in Texas.

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: That's right, there was a shooting in Austin late I

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: guess it was early Sunday morning where a man who

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: had he had a T shirt and he had apparently

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: items in his vehicle that have police now believing that

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: perhaps his motivation for opening fire on a crowd of

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: partygoers could have been terrorism related.

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: And let's start with at least sixteen people were injured

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: by this man and two of them did die. So

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: what we have now, folks in Austin, Texas in the

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: very probably one of the busiest times of the week,

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: in one of the busiest places a Saturday night, getting

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: into the early morning hours of Sunday, people pottering, partying,

19
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: two dead, fourteen sent to the hospital in an early

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: morning shooting. Again roads a lot of people, even if

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: you haven't been there, you know about Austin, you know

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: about south By Southwest. But this area downtown, this sixth

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: Street area is as bustling and as fun of an

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: area you will go to.

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just after midnight, you know, everybody was loose

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: and ready to party and having fun. And certainly what

27
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: was going on in Iran or any concerns about someone

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: exacting revenge was the last thing on anyone's mind there on.

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: This was in on West.

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: Six Redation Mension, near Buford's Bar, and this suspect was

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: certainly targeting this crowd. He circled the block several times,

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: and he actually began by just opening the window of

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: his car and shooting with a pistol at a crowd,

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: and then got out eventually with his rifle to do

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: even more.

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: Harm and to do I mean, just to describe the

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: horror here, folks, imagine that scene. A vehicle no reason

38
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: to be suspicious, but police said it did circle that

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: block several times. Quite frankly, you're out partying, you're not

40
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: thinking about a vehicle. You see several times. It might

41
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: be looking for a parking spot. What we're saying here

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: is this was the last place, as you just said,

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Ropes that's on anybody's mind. The war in a rock

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: excuse me in Iran necessarily, oh my goodness, the decades

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: war the.

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: Honestly, that just flows right out because we were so

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: used to saying it for so long, the war with

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: the Rock. How many times did we say that as

49
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: anchors and news anchors in our markets.

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: So let's be clear or with oran, Yes, but robes

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: to your point here, or it put people in the

52
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: right frame of how terrorizing this was. You're sitting at

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: a bar on a patio in a bustling area, sitting

54
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: outside and robes the scary part this man did all

55
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the damn image at this bar. He never set foot

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: in that bar, He never got out of his vehicle

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: to shoot at those folks.

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: But just stop.

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: I mean, you could call it a drive by, I guess,

60
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: but he stopped, and he was picking off folks as

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: mean as he could at this patio.

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: That is just beyond fighting.

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: And then he eventually did, yes, drive to a nearby

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: parking lot, and then he got out with a rifle.

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: There's a photo out there circulating that police have out

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: of him with his rifle and he's a large dude.

67
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 2: He gets out and starts shooting at people walking down

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: the street. Thankfully, he was walking in the direction where

69
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: there already was police stationed, just to make sure everything.

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: You know, you've got certainly some bar issues, you've got

71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: some folks. So they schedule and they locate police around

72
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: the area to make sure they keep things safe, not

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: imagining that this would be the scenario they would encounter.

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: But thankfully, from a logistics standpoint, the police were within

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: seconds of where this man got out and started walking

76
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: down the street with this rifle and he was eventually

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: shot and killed by police.

78
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: And think of the damage he did do, I mean,

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: he got How horrific is that you're walking down the

80
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: street in this party area. He is literally he got

81
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: out with a rifle and with his plan. Excuse me,

82
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: at least from what we can tell the description by police,

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: he got out and was going to start doing more

84
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: damage and he was stopped. Now, who is this guy?

85
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: Some information is starting to come out officially, yes, from

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security to start looking into his background.

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: He's fifty three years old. The name is Indiaga Diagne.

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: It's the best we can come up with here, but

89
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: robes he is originally from Senegal. But this guy did

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: enter legally, and he is a naturalized US citizen.

91
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: Yes, And we mentioned that photo that's online if you

92
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: haven't seen it. Something that really stands out is his attire.

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: He had a T shirt on that said property of Allah,

94
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: and according to police, underneath that T shirt property of Allah,

95
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: he was wearing something with the Iranian flag on it.

96
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: Now we know he Yeah, you mentioned he became a

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: permanent resident in two thousand and six.

98
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: He actually married a US citizen.

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: I believe he got divorced in twenty twenty two, and

100
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: his wife has been speaking out a bit about this.

101
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: But he became a US citizen more than ten years ago.

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: So this is somebody who is in this country legally,

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: went through the proper channels, even married a US citizen

104
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: and still you see where it ended.

105
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: And this T shirt says a lot. I mean, there's

106
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: a reason why he chose to wear that T shirt.

107
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: And police say there were more things in his vehicle

108
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: that leads them to believe that they may be dealing

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: with something other than just someone who's mentally ill, someone

110
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: who is angry at the world. They feel like, potentially

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: this could be a terrorism related attack linked to Iran.

112
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: And this is and you know where the debate is

113
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: going to go. Now, robes a lot of debate going

114
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: to go towards who we let into this country, legal

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: or otherwise. We've seen the President even in a State

116
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: of the Union, he talked about what was the line

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: importing other cultures?

118
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: Is that the line he used? So you know some of.

119
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: That debate is already underway and fiery, and you know

120
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: where it's going. Fine, but this does come from a

121
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: legitimate place. Robes at least as far as the FBI,

122
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: as far as what the New York Police Department is doing,

123
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: other departments around the country, and what cash Battel has

124
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: been telling, even some of his own folks. They have

125
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: been warning or at least putting folks on alert roades

126
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: that something like this. Want to be clear, the motive

127
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: is not clear yet, but authorities themselves are telling us

128
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: they are looking at this as a possible act of terrorism.

129
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: And this is just coming days hours after some of

130
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: these warnings have been going out from cash Betel, from

131
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: the Homeland Security from New York just to be on

132
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: the lookout for this thing. And here we are they're

133
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: telling us this thing might have already happened.

134
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is deeply concerning because this isn't necessarily Iron

135
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: being able to reach us and attack us with missiles

136
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: and the types of things we're seeing happening in the

137
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: Middle East, and certainly even some concerns in Europe. This

138
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: is about these homegrown folks that have been activated, so

139
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: to speak, by clerics who have spoken out saying, hey,

140
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: if you are a Muslim, it is your duty, it

141
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: is it is your duty to exact revenge on what's

142
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: happening in Iran. And this could be one of those examples.

143
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: His wife did, his ex wife did say he was

144
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: an extremely religious person. So we can only just begin

145
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: to start to connect the dots. But yes, you reference

146
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: Cashptel's post.

147
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: It is eerie reading it now seeing.

148
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: What's already happened in Austin, potentially having the having there

149
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: being a link, having there be a link between the two.

150
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: Cash Batel put this out there.

151
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: FBI personnel are fully engaged on the situation overseas. Last night,

152
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: I instructed our counter terrorism and intelligence teams to be

153
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: on high alert and mobilize all.

154
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: Assisting security assets needed.

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: Our jttfs what is that Joint Terrorism Task Force? Sorry, Kiev, No,

156
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: I just wasn't familiar with that acronym. Our jttfs throughout

157
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: the country are working twenty four to seven as always

158
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: to address and disrupt any potential threats to the homeland.

159
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: While the military handles force protection overseas, the FBI remains

160
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: at the forefront of deterring attacks here at home and

161
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: will continue to have our team work around the clock

162
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: to protect Americans. They then ask everyone to if you

163
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: see something, say something, they give you a tip line,

164
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: you can go online. But they're absolutely asking for folks

165
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: to be vigilant.

166
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't really I mean, as a US citizen, you're

167
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: told to be heads up, keep your eye out that

168
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: somebody could be trying to kill you.

169
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 3: We live in Manhattan. That's a pretty tall order.

170
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: And frankly, you go out every day and go into

171
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: the subway and you might your head it's on a swivel.

172
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: So to hear this from your government, we've to some degree,

173
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: and yes more so here in New York than probably

174
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: anywhere else in the country. We are used to being

175
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: told to be vigilant for a variety of reasons. But

176
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: to be getting this now from the Department of Homeland Security,

177
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: this is from a bulletin. Now, this wasn't supposed to

178
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: necessarily go out, and this wasn't a warning to citizens,

179
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: but Robes, it's significant that the Department of Homeland Security

180
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: and is talking to other law enforcement in this manner.

181
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: Yes, So the Department of Homeland Security put out this

182
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: law enforcement bulletin. ABC News reported that they actually got

183
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: their hands on it and saw it. It reads large

184
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 2: scaled physical attack is unlikely, but Iran and its proxies

185
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: probably pose a persistent threat of targeted attacks in the

186
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: homeland and will almost certainly escalate retaliatory actions or calls

187
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: to action.

188
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 4: This is where we are. We have to be on alert.

189
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: No, Robes, we haven't been getting major warnings over the

190
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: years that Iran has a missile that's going to make

191
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: it to the homeland. That is not necessarily that keeps

192
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: any of us up at night. But these warnings, combined

193
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: now with what we just saw in Austin that's being investigated,

194
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: has to give every American citizen just a little discomfort

195
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: right now.

196
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: Yes, Look, if you are somebody who rides on mass transit,

197
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: who frankly is traveling anywhere, flying, if you have plans

198
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: to be overseas, all of this is deeply concerning and

199
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: it should be because these are actual threats.

200
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: And look, we are in the infancy of this war.

201
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: From what we heard and learned from President Trump that

202
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: this is going to be ongoing. So this is maybe

203
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: perhaps even a new way of going through life right now,

204
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: even as we go about our day. But in terms

205
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: of even travel, this affects everybody. We all need to

206
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: be concerned and to say to be vigilant. Okay, see something,

207
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: say something, But my god, that's no way to live.

208
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: And yet somehow we're being asked to once again.

209
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: But folks, we just read robe, just read that warning

210
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: from the Department of Homeland Security. Oh yeah, by the way,

211
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: they are unfunded right now because of a shutdown. But

212
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Republicans now are trying to make a move.

213
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 4: Stay here, all right.

214
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: We continue on this episode of Amy and TJ on

215
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: this Monday, March second, a morning where we're getting up

216
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: finding out that the FBI is investigating a mass shooting

217
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: at Austin as a possible act of terrorism with the

218
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: guy who is the suspect in this. Yes, he was

219
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: shot and killed, but he was wearing a tire according

220
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: to authorities that said property of Allah and also included

221
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: an Iranian flag. So they're looking into that. Department of

222
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Homeland Security is telling law enforcement to stay on alert

223
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: and vigilant. And I don't know how they're getting those

224
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: messages out ropes because they can't even afford the letterhead

225
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: on the paper.

226
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: Right now, you know what, this is a true story.

227
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: You and I were looking into what the alerts were,

228
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: what the bulletins were, if the threat level had been raised,

229
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: all of that after we saw this incident in Austin

230
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: and the fact that authorities are potentially tying it to

231
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: terrorism and Iran.

232
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: I pull up the Department of Homeland.

233
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: Security website and you get an alert at the top

234
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: in red.

235
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks scary.

236
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: That says, due to a lapse in federal funding, this

237
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: website will not be actively managed.

238
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

239
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I thought the red was a warning of stay on

240
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: alert it so did I. No, that wasn't it.

241
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: It was basically saying, hey, folks, I know you came

242
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: here for information because you know we're the Department of

243
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: Homeland Security and all, but we haven't updated this page,

244
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: so maybe go somewhere else for information.

245
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: That's it's kind of wild. And look that now rose.

246
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: They've been making this point for a while at least,

247
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: this is one department we need funded. This is all

248
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: over ice. So really, folks, what we're seeing right now

249
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: we are possibly in danger from Iran because of what

250
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: happened on the streets of Minnesota. That's pissed the Democrats off,

251
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: so now they're holding all of it up. This is

252
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: going to be the one I think this is going

253
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: to get a break in this shure.

254
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because now we're at war with Iran, we have

255
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: security threats. And in addition to that line, the website

256
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: goes on to say this, this website was last updated

257
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: on February seventeenth, twenty twenty six, and will not be

258
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: updated until after funding is enacted.

259
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: I genuinely went.

260
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: Onto that website to get information about the state of

261
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: our security and any notices, any bulletins, any information that

262
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: we as American citizens might need, and it has not

263
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: been updated for two weeks because our lawmakers cannot sit

264
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: at a table and negotiate with one another.

265
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: So they continue to negotiate now in public. But yes,

266
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: we will likely see this ramped up. It already started

267
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: this weekend. But Republicans are putting more pressure on Democrats

268
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: now and think they have better footing, because when you

269
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: make the argument to the American people that we are

270
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: holding this up, we are going to hold up ICE

271
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: funding and in the meantime hold up all funding for

272
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security during a time of war.

273
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: That's gonna be tough for Chuck Schuman to get in

274
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: front of a microphone and Hakeem jeffrey Is to get

275
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: in from of a microphone and.

276
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: Justify things have changed. And didn't you mention that ICE

277
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: was funded?

278
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: So ironically ICE is funded, So this isn't even defunding ICE.

279
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: Not immediately. It'll be next year.

280
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: They could possibly have some reforms, but right now they

281
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: have their money and they're pushing for reforms to ICE.

282
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: But all of them are getting their checks. FEMA not

283
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: getting checks, TSA not getting checks, member of the Coast

284
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Guard not getting checks, member of Secret Service not getting checks.

285
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: They're not being paid at the time we need them

286
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: on their freaking toad.

287
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: We need them on overtime.

288
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: I always give them double pay right now for everything

289
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: that we're looking at and the potential of what could

290
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: possibly happen, it.

291
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: Just takes one person it takes one person who has

292
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: been radicalized and look a.

293
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: Of course, we know that the FBI and hopefully folks

294
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: who are getting paid are looking right now at all

295
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: of these websites, these terrorist sales, the dark web, all

296
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: of these things to try and figure out who these.

297
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: Outliers might be.

298
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: But they're not going to be able to necessarily, you know,

299
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: stop something from what happened in Austin.

300
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: You don't know individuals who have decided.

301
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: Not to go online or maybe not have some sort

302
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: of online presence where they can track somebody.

303
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: So this is scary stuff. And you want these folks

304
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: paid rested credit, Yes.

305
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: Giving credit.

306
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: They are required by law to continue working through a shutdown.

307
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: Give them credit for being as professional as they are.

308
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: But Robes, we saw what happened last time people started

309
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: calling out sick, not because they were just saying given

310
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: the middle finger to the government. They were trying to

311
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: go pay their bills.

312
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: They were uber drivers right now trying to yeah.

313
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: Do we really we're really going to force somebody to

314
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: take time off from securing the homeland so you can

315
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: go drive an uber to make money because we can't

316
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,360
