Speaker 4: Steve Grewer. We appreciate you being here with us on

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 4: this twentieth of August. It is a Thursday, and we

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 4: want to get things started off with Vice President jd

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: Vance in Wisconsin talking about President Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill.

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: In fact, he's answered questions from reporters as we speak.

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 5: Step back a little bit. Washington, d C.

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 6: Got to a point where it was having a murder

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 6: more than every other day. The national capital of the

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 6: most powerful nation in the history of the world.

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 5: Had a murder every other day.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 6: Carjackings, armed robberies that rivaled literal third world countries, and

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 6: the President of the United States said, this is America's

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 6: city and enough is enough, and he deployed the National

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 6: Guard to fix it. Now, that was the right decision

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 6: at the time, But I don't know how anybody can

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 6: look at the results over the last fourteen days and

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 6: say anything other than thank god Donald Trump did what

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 6: we did, because armed robberies, carjackings, murders are down between

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 6: forty to ninety percent. Even the very democratic mayor of

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 6: DC said yesterday that she was grateful for the additional

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 6: police presidence because it made it possible for people Americans, black, white,

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 6: rich and poor to ensure to enjoy the nation's capital again.

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 5: And that's what I want. I mean, all of you.

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 5: Washington is your town. You literally built it with your

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 5: tax dollars.

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 6: You should be able to come and go to one

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 6: of these beautiful museums or see one of these incredible

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 6: monuments without fear that you're gonna get mugged. And that's

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 6: what we have changed in just a short period of time.

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 6: And you asked the Wisconsin specific question. What the President

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 6: has said is that very simply, we want governors and

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 6: mayors to ask for the help. The President of the

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 6: United States is not going out there forcing this on anybody, though.

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 5: We do think that we have the legal right to

48
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 5: clean up America's streets if we want to.

49
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 6: But what the President has said is very simply is

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 6: why don't you invite us in? Is Milwaukee a super

51
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 6: safe city right now?

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 5: It's had some crime problems. It's a beautiful city.

53
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 6: There are a lot of beautiful, incredible, hardworking people who

54
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 6: live there. But let's be honest, Milwaukee has had some

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 6: crime problems, so of other parts of our community, Chicago,

56
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 6: and we're not too far from Chicago. Chicago's had a

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 6: lot of crime problems.

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 5: Why is it that you.

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 6: Have mayors and governors who are angrier about Donald Trump

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 6: offering to help them then they are about the fact

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 6: that their own residents are being carjacked and murdered in

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 6: the streets.

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 5: It doesn't make announce of sense.

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 7: And the last.

65
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 5: And the last point that I'll.

66
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 6: Make about this her is and I actually I'm gonna

67
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 6: violate the advice I gave to the President of United

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 6: States yesterday because we were having lunch yesterday and the

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 6: President said JD.

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: I don't know how I did it.

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 6: I have actually got the Democrats to come out in

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 6: defensive prime.

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 5: And it is crazy.

74
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 6: If Donald Trump came out tomorrow and said he really

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 6: likes puppies, you would have AOC come out and say

76
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 6: puppies are terrible. So you have Donald Trump, who has

77
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 6: reduced murders, carjackings, and armed robberies in fourteen days in Washington,

78
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 6: d C. And now you have national Democrats coming out

79
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 6: and saying, oh, well, we love murders and car jackings

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: and armed robberies. Why won't Democrats just use some common sense.

81
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 6: We're gonna disagree about stuff from time to time. I'm

82
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 6: sure Democrats want higher taxes and I want lower taxes.

83
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: We may disagree about some foreign policy issues. But on

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: this basic principle.

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 6: That murdering people, our robberies, carjackings are bad.

86
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be nice.

87
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 6: If the Democrats has just worked a little across the

88
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 6: aisle for ones.

89
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

90
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 8: Next question, thank you, mister Vice President. Matt Smith WIS

91
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 8: and TV in Milwaukee, do what you just said. Milwaukee's

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 8: mayor the other day said absolutely not to any talk

93
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 8: of National Guard troops. Would the administration consider ever coming

94
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 8: into a city like Milwaukee.

95
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: Well, again, we want to be invited into Milwaukee. We

96
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 5: want to help people. We want to help our fellow citizens, and.

97
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 6: We think that if you look at the crime rates,

98
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 6: if you look at the murders of Milwaukee, if you

99
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 6: look at certain neighborhoods where people are unafraid to go

100
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: out even in the middle of the day, we would

101
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 6: love to come and help the people of Milwaukee.

102
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 5: But the President of the United States has said.

103
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 6: He wants to be asked, and that has been his

104
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 6: consistent line from the very beginning, that we have an

105
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: incredible law enforcement capability in.

106
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: The United States.

107
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 6: You know what's crazy about crime is most of the

108
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 6: violent crime is committed by a very small number of people.

109
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 6: We talk about a violent crime problem, you know, we're

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 6: not talking about thousands upon thousands of people in Milwaukee.

111
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 6: We're talking about a few hundred people who probably.

112
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: Could commit ninety percent of the violent crime.

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 6: We would love to come in and help lock up

114
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 6: those violent criminals. I hope the mayor of Milwaukee gets

115
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 6: some common sense and actually fights for her residence for

116
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 6: a change or his residence for a change, because we

117
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 6: would love to actually help cut down on the crime

118
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 6: in this community.

119
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 9: Thank you, Good afternoon, Anthony de Bruzi's Spectrum News Wisconsin.

120
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 9: Sticking with Milwaukee, but a little different.

121
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 5: Yesterday at Governor Tony Evers.

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 9: Requested a disaster declaration from President Trump after the historic

123
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 9: flooding that we've seen in the Milwaukee area. So Ken,

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 9: wisconsinight's come on the Administration for Financial Health through this.

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, So obviously, look, we want to help people, We

126
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 6: want to help our fellow citizens, and I know that

127
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 6: Wisconsin has suffered some serious problems.

128
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: I have not talked to the President of the United States.

129
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 6: I'm not even sure that he's aware yet that the

130
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 6: governor has issued that disaster declaration. But I will take

131
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 6: that back to Washington, DC and make sure we respond

132
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 6: to it promptly.

133
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 7: Thank you, Sir, Hi Misur, Vice President Daniel Gomez wau

134

135
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 7: touring around the country visiting congressional background districts. No different

136
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 7: here Wisconsin Stirred. You're here also garnering up some support

137
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 7: for Derek Van Ordon. So my question here is can

138
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 7: we expect you again next year when we actually get

139
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 7: to the midterm elections. And will you also adjust other

140
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 7: issues in Wisconsin Star District, which include agriculture, childcare, healthcare,

141
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 7: and all these other things that impact rural, hardworking, working

142
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 7: class Wisconsin nights here.

143
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 5: Of course, Well, do you all want to have me

144
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: back next year?

145
00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 10: Is that up?

146
00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 11: Gay?

147
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 6: Look, so long as the people a third district will

148
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 6: have me, yes, I will keep on coming back and

149
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 6: keep on talking about the issues that matter.

150
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you asked about agriculture. I think ural healthcare and

151
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 5: also childcare. Look, if you.

152
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 6: Look at the working Families tax cut, there's a lot

153
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 6: there for agriculture.

154
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 5: There's a lot. For example, if you buy a new tractor.

155
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: You're listening to Vice President JD. Van speaking in Wisconsin.

156
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: He'll continue, or our coverage will continue on social media

157
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: if you'd like to watch that. We now want to

158
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: take you over to Minneapolis, though, where an update is

159
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: happening on the shooting yesterday.

160
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: Two young children killed.

161
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: Here's the Minneapolis Police Department and other officials.

162
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 12: The men and women of the Minneapolis Police Department who

163
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 12: responded yesterday did not hesitate. At eight twenty seven am,

164
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 12: nine to one one began to receive initial calls of

165
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 12: shots being fired. By eight thirty one, a Minneapolis police

166
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 12: officer in a regular uniform with no helmet. Noswakir ran

167
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 12: into the church and was met by a parishioner who

168
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 12: directed him towards where the gunman had been. The parishioner

169
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 12: later told me that was the first time that he,

170
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 12: the children and others there had any sense that they

171
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 12: might be safe and survive. The members that responded yesterday

172
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 12: exemplified the motto that is on the Minneapolis Police squad

173
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 12: cars to protect with courage and to serve with compassion.

174
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 12: All of our law enforcement partners, first responders, and many children,

175
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 12: members of the school staff, and parishioners of an Annunciation

176
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 12: Catholic Church all showed incredible courage yesterday in the face

177
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 12: of unspeakable horror. As the investigation continues, we will continue

178
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 12: working alongside our county, state, and federal law enforcement partners

179
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 12: as we can. Continue to be critical as we pieced

180
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 12: together exactly what happened. At this time, we have identified

181
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 12: a total of twenty victims that had injuries resulting from gunfire,

182
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 12: including the eight and ten year old who were killed yesterday.

183
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 12: Fifteen of the injured are children between the ages of

184
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 12: six and fifteen. Three of those injured are adults in

185
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 12: their eighties. Those who remained hospitalized need all of our

186
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 12: support as we continued to pray for a speedy recovery

187
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 12: for all of our victims. During the processing of the

188
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 12: scene at Annunciation Church yesterday, three shotgun shells were recovered,

189
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 12: along with approximately one hundred and sixteen rifle rounds. One

190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 12: live round was recovered from a handgun that appears to

191
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 12: have malfunctioned as the shooter attempted to use it and

192
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 12: became stuck in the chamber. There were four search warrants

193
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 12: that were executed yesterday, one at the church. The others

194
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 12: were executed at residences believed to be associated with the shooter.

195
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 12: One of those residences was in the city of Minneapolis,

196
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 12: a second one was in Richfield, and a third one

197
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 12: was in Saint Louis Park, which are both bordering municipalities.

198
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 12: Additional evidence was recovered as a result of these warrants.

199
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 12: Literally hundreds of pieces of evidence have been recovered thus far,

200
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 12: which include electronic devices that will be further searched and processed.

201
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 12: It now becomes our job, collectively with all of law enforcement,

202
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 12: to process that evidence, and so this investigation will continue

203
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 12: and we will follow all of the evidence to its

204
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 12: logical conclusion. I am aware, however, that this may not

205
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 12: ultimately provide the answers that are public is looking for.

206
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 12: When something terrible happens, the public expects law enforcement to

207
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 12: provide some explanation for what happened. But the reality is

208
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 12: this is an unthinkable, completely senseless act violence perpetrated against

209
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 12: children worshiping it mass and no investigation, no evidence, will

210
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 12: ever be able to make sense of such an unthinkable tragedy.

211
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,359
Speaker 12: That being said, we will do our best to determine

212
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 12: and identify a specific motive. What we have seen so

213
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 12: far is this is an individual who, unfortunately, like so

214
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 12: many other mass shooters that we have seen in this

215
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 12: country too often and around the world, had some deranged

216
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 12: fascination with previous mass shootings and very disturbing writings that

217
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 12: demonstrate hatred towards many different indivis, viduals, and different groups

218
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 12: of people, and he fantasized about the plans of other

219
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 12: mass shooters. Unfortunately, again, this has become all too common

220
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 12: in our society. That being said, we know ultimately the

221
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 12: purpose of the shooter's actions was to obtain notoriety for

222
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 12: the shooter themselves. That being said, i have only said

223
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 12: the name of this shooter once, and I'm asking members

224
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 12: of the media to stop saying the shooter's name. That

225
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 12: was the whole purpose of why he did this heinous

226
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 12: act to obtain that notoriety for themselves. As schools in

227
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 12: our city are beginning to start this week and next,

228
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 12: we are working with all of our law enforcement partners,

229
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 12: county sheriffs, state troopers, and surrounding municipalities that are helping

230
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 12: the City of Minneapolis as we step up police presence

231
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 12: both in and around schools and around all of our

232
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 12: houses of worship in the city. Many of our law

233
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 12: enforcement partners are also supplementing patrols and we could not

234
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 12: be more grateful. This has truly been a collective effort

235
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 12: in partnership with our community. We also must say that

236
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 12: we will be forever in debt to all of the doctors, nurses,

237
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 12: and paramedics who responded who were caring for these victims

238
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 12: in this incident. I cannot tell you how incredibly grateful

239
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 12: we are for all of the love and support that

240
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 12: has been pouring in from all around the country, both

241
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 12: for the first responders who initially responded, entered that church

242
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 12: and dealt with the unthinkable. And for all of the

243
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 12: victims and families that have received that love and support

244
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 12: as well, the Minneapolis Police Department and our community have

245
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 12: a long road ahead of us to heal, and we

246
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 12: did every one to continuing to show their support. After

247
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 12: the cameras once again leave this city, I like to

248
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 12: invite up the acting United States Attorney for the District

249
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 12: of Minnesota, Joe Thompson.

250
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: Good afternoon. My name is Joe Thompson. I'm the Acting

251
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota. Yesterday, Minnesota

252
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: was attacked. It was an attack first and foremost on

253
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: our children and our families, an attack at a school

254
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: and in a place of worship. It was also an

255
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: attack on our city, our state, in our country. The

256
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: US Attorney's Office, the FBI, ATF and other federal law

257
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: enforcement are working with state and local partners to investigate

258
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: this heinous act. Our investigation is twofold. First, we are

259
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: seeking to confirm what we believe to be true, which

260
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: is that the shooter acted alone and that no one

261
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: else was involved, that the threat died with the shooter. Yesterday.

262
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: We believe that to be true, but we'll leave no

263
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: stone unturned to ensure the safety of our community. Second,

264
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: we are investigating the motive, why, and how this happened.

265
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: The shooter left behind hundreds of pages of writings, writings

266
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: that describe the shooter's plan, writings that describe the shooter's

267
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: mental state, and more than anything, writings that describe the

268
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: shooter's hate, pure indiscriminate hate. The shooter expressed hate towards

269
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: almost every group unmanageable. The shooter expressed hate towards Black people.

270
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: The shooter express hate towards Mexican people. The shooter express

271
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: hate towards Christian people. The shooter expressed hate towards Jewish people.

272
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: Short the shooter appeared to hate all of us. The

273
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: shooter's heart was full of hate. There appears to be

274
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: only one group that the shooter didn't hate, one group

275
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: of people who the shooter admired. The group were the

276
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: school shooters and mass murderers that are notorious in this country.

277
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: The shooter idolized some of the most notorious school shooters

278
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: and mass murders in our country's history. I won't name them,

279
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: just like I won't name the shooter. They don't deserve

280
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: to have their names remembered. As I said, the shooter

281
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: left behind hundreds of pages of writings. There is a

282
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: lot to digest, and we'll know more in the coming

283
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: days and weeks as we've had an opportunity to go

284
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: through them. But reading them, one thing is clear, and

285
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: it's going to be hard to hear, but it's important

286
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: to the question of why this happened. More than anything,

287
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: the shooter wanted to kill children, defenseless children. The shooter

288
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: was obsessed with the idea of killing children. The shooter

289
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: saw the attack as a way to target our most

290
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: vulnerable among us while they were at their most vulnerable

291
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: at school and at church. I won't dignify the shooter's

292
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: words by repeating them. They are horrific and vile, But

293
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: in short, the shooter wanted to watch children suffer. Yesterday

294
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: was a tragedy for this city and our state. My

295
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: heart goes out to the entire Annunciation community. Their loss

296
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: is unmanageable. I want the state of Minnesota to know

297
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: that when a tragedy like this occurs, we all stand together. Federal,

298
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: state and local law enforcement work together side by side.

299
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: The FBI, the ATF the BCA, Minneapolis Police Department, the

300
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: Henniman County Sheriff's Office, then Henniban County Attorney's office, including

301
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: their victim advocates who have been working with the families

302
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: yesterday and today. The list goes on. This has been

303
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 2: a tough summer from Minnesota, but I take heart knowing

304
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: that we all stand together and confronting this evil.

305
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 8: Thank you.

306
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: I'll turn it back to Chief O'Hara.

307
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 12: A little bit for some questions and answer what we can.

308
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 11: Director Cash Pateel put out some details today, including that

309
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 11: there was a threat against President Trump, that there were

310
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 11: some messages such as Israel must fall and the free Palestine,

311
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 11: and that it is being investigated.

312
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 5: As a hate crime. There's evidence of a hate crime.

313
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: Do you speak to what the.

314
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 5: FBI Director.

315
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 2: Five and Topic director to tell, But certainly there's evidence

316
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: of hate. As I mentioned, the shooter express hate towards

317
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: meeting groups, including the Jewish community and including President Trump.

318
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: So obviously, as in most cases where there's a mass

319
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: shooting at a house of worship or a school, federal

320
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: law enforcement will work with state and local law enforcement

321
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: to investigate to make sure what happened. We know what happened,

322
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: and we prosecute as appropriate.

323
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 12: Matt that there is no question in this case that

324
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 12: this shooter intended to terrorize the children, the school, school,

325
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 12: members of the school community, the parishioners were inside of

326
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 12: that church. So whatever label we want to put on

327
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 12: it is almost is regardless of the fact that it

328
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 12: is very clear that this shooter had the intention to

329
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 12: terrorize those innocent children.

330
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 10: One of the manifests, I guess mentions the belief that

331
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 10: the shooter was under a The investigation is ione able

332
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 10: to say whether or not that's true, or whether this

333
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 10: person showed up on any watch lists or any federal

334
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 10: radar at all.

335
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, we did a check of all of our holdings

336
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 13: of the FBI holdings, and he was not in our

337
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 13: holdings prior to this incident, so we didn't have anything

338
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 13: on him at that time.

339
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 5: Does that anyone is aware of.

340
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 12: There is no diagnosis that I'm aware of that I

341
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 12: can share. I can tell you we are not aware

342
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 12: of any state ordered mental health commitments for this individual.

343
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 14: Could you talk about We're hearing some new details come

344
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 14: out about the moments inside the church, about the doors

345
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 14: being locked protect us, and could you talk to those

346
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 14: about that.

347
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 12: So the question was about the doors being locked at

348
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 12: the church. Annunciation Church had a practice that once mass began,

349
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 12: they locked the doors of the church. This this incident

350
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 12: occurred shortly after the mass was beginning, so there's no

351
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 12: question that the fact that the doors were locked likely

352
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 12: saved additional lives. At the same time, we also know

353
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 12: that the shooter intended to barricade and did barricade the

354
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 12: doors on the same side of the church where the

355
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 12: shooting occurred. So what's particularly heinous and cowardly about this

356
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 12: is these children were slaughtered by a shooter who could

357
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 12: not see them. He was standing outside of the building,

358
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 12: firing through very narrow church windows on the level where

359
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 12: they would line up with the pews, and even ultimately

360
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 12: when he got to the rear of the church where's

361
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 12: an entryway that's basically all glass, and fired out the

362
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 12: window where a person could walk in. Ultimately did not

363
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 12: walk in.

364
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 8: Locking poor from the outside like your insigne, and maintained

365
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 8: out that he.

366
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 11: An the outside.

367
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 12: The questions about the doors being locked, Yes, the doors

368
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 12: were locked intentionally by the church from the inside, and

369
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 12: that's a practice that they had in place once mess

370
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 12: had begun.

371
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: His social media posting, his troubling post.

372
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 14: Admiration for previous school shooters, why was he able to

373
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 14: obtain a weapon of that magnutation.

374
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 12: So the question was due to previous social media posts,

375
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 12: why was the individual able to obtain a weapon? We

376
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 12: have nothing in the evidence that we have acquired so

377
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 12: far that would indicate that he is a person that

378
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 12: he did not lawfully purchase these weapons. He did not

379
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 12: have a criminal history. The only thing that we are

380
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 12: aware of is a traffic ticket. He did not have

381
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 12: any state ordered commitments for mental health. So of everything

382
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 12: that we have seen so far, it did not rise

383
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 12: to the level where he would have been a person

384
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 12: prohibited from purchasing a firearm.

385
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 14: Can you confirm if the shooter went to the church

386
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 14: weeks prior and if so, how long before the shooting happened.

387
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 12: So UBA's question was if the shooter did go to

388
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 12: the church weeks prior. We cannot specifically confirm that at

389
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 12: this time, but that is obviously a part of the investigation.

390
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: Church.

391
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 12: So the question was the connection of the shooter to

392
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 12: the church and school. We do know that the shooter

393
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 12: did attend mass there previously. The shooter did attend school,

394
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 12: and the shooter's mother was an employee of the parish

395
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 12: previously for some time. So obviously there is a connection

396
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 12: between that shooter and this particular parish and this this school. There.

397
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 15: What do you tell us about the victim that you mentioned,

398
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 15: another victim you mentioned today, How did that child doing.

399
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 12: So there's one additional child that was injured by gunfire

400
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 12: that we weren't aware of at the time of the

401
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 12: last briefing. They were transported by private vehicle to a

402
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 12: hospital outside of the city, and the report was actually

403
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 12: made to police after they had been treated and released.

404
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 12: So the injuries to the children range from in this case,

405
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 12: as you'd call like a grays wound from a gunfire

406
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 12: all to again some very serious life threatening injuries. We

407
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 12: have some victims that have been released by the hospital

408
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 12: at this time. We anticipate perhaps a few more today,

409
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 12: but we still have some victims who are very seriously

410
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 12: injured and in critical condition.

411
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 5: Even though there's no criminal record. I say, even though

412
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 5: there's no criminal record, have been able to find.

413
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 11: Any any police contacts where there was odd behavior maybe

414
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 11: that didn't rise the level of crime, But then a jersidic.

415
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 12: Has So the question was police contexts with odd behavior.

416
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 12: There's nothing in Minneapolis where we did not have previous

417
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 12: police contacts with him.

418
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 16: On the name change issue, I know that yesterday even

419
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 16: confound that that I know is out there.

420
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 5: Learn more you would deil us about.

421
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 12: So the question was about the shooter's name change. We

422
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 12: are aware that a few years ago, I think twenty nineteen,

423
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 12: the shooter did have their name changed. We can confirm that, Yes, I.

424
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 14: Know Luke kind of accid in the FBI spokesperson talked

425
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 14: about it too. Had any law enforcement you found The

426
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 14: contact with the shooter's family previously to what.

427
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 6: Happened is.

428
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: I can try.

429
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 17: I try everybody I'm driving superintend the Minnesota Bureau of

430
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 17: Criminal Apprehension. It depends on specifically what you're asking. We're

431
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 17: aware of some reports in the past. We are gathering

432
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 17: those reports now there will be additional information that we'll

433
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 17: be able to share it downline. But has the chief

434
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 17: noted and we think what is important in this and

435
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 17: really to the question, this individual was not arrested for

436
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 17: anything that would prohibit them from being able to purchase

437
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 17: a firearm. There is not substantive police contact with this

438
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 17: individual that would have raised concern to the level that

439
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 17: would lead us to believe this sort of a situation

440
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 17: when it happened today the social media in terms of

441
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 17: your question for that, just to be clear, the level

442
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 17: stet for everybody. There's a specific criteria in terms of

443
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 17: how an individual can purchase a firearm legally in Minnesota.

444
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 17: If those posts and information, I'll share it to it

445
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 17: for everybody that we want to know going forward. This

446
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 17: obviously is a terrible tragedy. We need the help of

447
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 17: the public and everybody else if there's concerning social media

448
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 17: behavior by anybody, or that there's concern in their community

449
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 17: that they are contacting their law enforcement, so that we

450
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 17: can adequately address that. In the process that did not

451
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 17: happen in this case.

452
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 16: With the search warrants, you recover additional guns and if

453
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 16: so registered and also purchase.

454
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 12: So the question was and grow to the search warrant,

455
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 12: were additional weapons recovered. The answer is no. Only the

456
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 12: three weapons that were recovered at the scene, a five

457
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 12: five six millimeter rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol, and

458
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 12: all three were used during this in.

459
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 5: Any history of gun training. Because of the shooter seemed

460
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 5: fairly accurate.

461
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 12: We're not aware of at this time any history of

462
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 12: gun training and the other that.

463
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 2: You have recovered as the shooter expressed any even as that.

464
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 5: Particular or.

465
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 12: So the question was any specific grievance against the church.

466
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 12: We mentioned there is a connection to the parish, connection

467
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 12: to the school, but we have not identified a triggering

468
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 12: event or a specific grievance against the church that you

469
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 12: could point to to say this is the reason for

470
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 12: why this happened.

471
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 5: There's something you said.

472
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 15: You said it sugared mass in the weeks before the shoot.

473
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 12: I did not say that. So the question was did

474
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 12: the shooter attend mass in the weeks before? We know

475
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 12: that previously the shooter had attended that parish and had

476
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 12: attended that school when they were younger.

477
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 5: Is there anything.

478
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 10: You know, any evidence that this person was radicalized or

479
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 10: part of some online groups or anything like that that

480
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 10: would have inspired this behavior.

481
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 12: So the question was if the individual was radicalized I

482
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 12: guess for a specific cause or a part of some

483
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 12: online groups, And the answer is no, we have not

484
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 12: found evidence of that other than again just this fascination

485
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 12: in general, with many many different previous mass shootings, mainly

486
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 12: in this country, but also some from around the.

487
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 15: World see if any evidence to indicate why this particular church.

488
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 15: Just to kind of follow up level, it was as

489
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 15: why this particular church.

490
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 5: Was targeting out some.

491
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 12: So Matt's question is the question why this particular church,

492
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 12: and other than the obvious which we have said, the

493
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 12: connection to being from that church, being from that school

494
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 12: mom having worked there, we have not found a specific

495
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 12: trigger for why to target the children at this church though.

496
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 11: Did the shooters seem aware that there was going to

497
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 11: be this mass at this time, that the kids would

498
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 11: be there.

499
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: At that time so showed up.

500
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 12: So the question was that should be aware? Was the

501
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 12: should aware of this mass at this church? The answer

502
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 12: would be yes, this was a daily mass, but this

503
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 12: was special in that the children were attending to celebrate

504
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 12: the first week of school, the beginning of a new

505
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 12: school year.

506
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 5: She were you able to give us an update?

507
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 15: I hope you heard this from HCMC this morning on

508
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 15: the injuries whose hospitalized? How many sperity and you did

509
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 15: mention that you expect some the other kids to be

510
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 15: released today.

511
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 12: So the question was a total number of victims who

512
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 12: remain hospitalized. I do not have information that would have

513
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 12: to come specifically from the individual hospitals. Again, I know

514
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 12: that some victims have been released, and I believe HCMC

515
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 12: mentioned their press conference earlier that they anticipate a couple

516
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 12: more may be released today. But I know both at

517
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 12: HCMC as well as Children's Hospital that there remain patients

518
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 12: who are in critical condition.

519
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 5: You had more than twenty four hours and kind of

520
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 5: looked over this kind of process that were thoughts on

521
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: this as we can where we are.

522
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 12: So the question was over the last twenty four hours

523
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 12: from my thoughts on where we are and moving forward.

524
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 12: I think we had dozens of police officers that respotted,

525
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 12: that entered there. I shared a story that one personer

526
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 12: had shared with me of the relief they had seeing

527
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 12: an officer running in towards the danger. And I know

528
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 12: from dozens of officers who did respond that ran into

529
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 12: the church and saw the unthinkable with all of these

530
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 12: children so seriously injured, and other children that had blood

531
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 12: on them from because they were injured, but because of

532
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 12: blood that was shared from other kids, and just how

533
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 12: confusing it was for the officers because no one knew

534
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 12: if there was specifically just one shooter, if there were

535
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 12: perhaps improvised devices that were there to go off. So

536
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 12: I think the officers and that were then joined by

537
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 12: state troopers and county sheriff's deputies and all of federal

538
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 12: law enforcement officers and others that responded very very quickly,

539
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 12: and I just think did an incredible job at trying

540
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 12: to ensure that the threat was eliminated there were no

541
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 12: additional threats, but also trying to triage as quickly as

542
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 12: possible and get the injured to the hospital. And I

543
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 12: think ems all the first responders did an amazing job.

544
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 12: And I think going forward, we're going to learn countless

545
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 12: stories about many children and the heroic acts that children

546
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 12: there did, as well as staff members and other parishioners.

547
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 12: I know this is uh, you know, incredibly horrific and

548
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 12: just an unthinkable situation, but despite all of that, I

549
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 12: think there's just there's gonna be countless lessons of bravery

550
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 12: from young children all the way up to elders in

551
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 12: our community.

552
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 5: All Right, we'll take one more, perhaps from somebody.

553
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: Who's not yet had a chance.

554
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 5: I think I have.

555
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 12: Got going and go ahead, and yeah, have you guys

556
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 12: spoken with the shooter's parents, and have they said anything

557
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 12: about past.

558
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 5: Mental health history?

559
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 16: And do you guys have law enforcement believe there might

560
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 16: have been any bread flags that finally missed.

561
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 12: So the question was have we spoken to the shooter's

562
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 12: parents h and if there were any red flags that

563
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 12: may have been missed. I know there were dozens of

564
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 12: interviews that have been conducted with relatives, friends, associates of

565
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 12: the shooter, as well as people obviously individuals witnesses that

566
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 12: were present at the scene yesterday. I know we have

567
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 12: not been successful in talking to the shooter's mother yet

568
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 12: at this time, but there there continue to be efforts

569
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 12: made to get that done. I I cannot confirm that.

570
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 12: I just I don't know there's been you have okay

571
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 12: live Well, the question was did he live alone or

572
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 12: live with his father? There's three residences that are associated

573
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 12: with this individual. I can't verify right now which residence

574
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 12: he was staying at h immediately prior to the shooting,

575
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 12: but that's obviously something that will come out with the

576
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 12: investigation as it continues.

577
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 5: What is your question? Can you say how long the

578
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 5: shooter attended the school for grades?

579
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 12: So the question was how long did the shooter.

580
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Okay?

581
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 12: But I I don't know the period of time exactly.

582
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 11: Is the video available, but but that you can review

583
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 11: to know like how long he was shooting and how

584
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 11: he snuck up his stuff like that.

585
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 12: So the question was, is there a surveillance video And

586
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 12: the answer is yes, their surveillance video at the church.

587
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 13: Uh.

588
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 12: That's how we know for sure he did not enter

589
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 12: uh and did not fire at all from inside the church.

590
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 5: And you know how long the shooting took place.

591
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 12: Uh, we will know that for sure. The question was

592
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 12: how long did the shooting take place? So the first

593
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 12: call to nine one one was yes, we we will

594
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 12: be able to figure that out. We will be able

595
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 12: to pinpoint that.

596
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: Today.

597
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 15: You're quite hot, allowed more yet to get done today.

598
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 6: Uh.

599
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 15: So I appreciate it again your partnership and helping us

600
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 15: git these messages out and.

601
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 18: In time.

602
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 4: So that was the Minneapolis Police Department and other stakeholders

603
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 4: and investigation talking about the latest in the investigation into

604
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 4: the shooting yesterday at that Catholic school and the church

605
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 4: there in Minneapolis. Of course, two kids dead, dozens more hurt.

606
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 4: Many of those kids we're hearing are finally being released

607
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 4: from the hospital, even though there are also many who

608
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 4: are still being treated. Let's bring in former police lieutenant

609
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 4: and retired Navy intel officer Steve Rogers to join us

610
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 4: as part of this conversation as we try to make

611
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 4: sense of what was a senseless crime to so many.

612
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: Is Steve up? Guys, can we get Steve? All right?

613
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: There is Steve. Steve.

614
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 4: We appreciate you sticking around. Based on what you just heard,

615
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 4: and you've been listening to that news conference just like

616
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 4: I have. It seems to me the big takeaway here

617
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: is that the alleged shooter in the case had some

618
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 4: mental health issues and some emotional issues, which is something

619
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 4: that I think we're seeing more and more of.

620
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: It's not a gun issue.

621
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 4: It is a mental health issue when you see these

622
00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 4: sources of mass shootings.

623
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 18: Well, Terrence, you're absolutely right. It's not a gun issue,

624
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 18: although there are some who are trying to make this

625
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 18: into a politically motivated gun issue. So let's get to

626
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 18: what we just saw. Excellent press conference that Chief, God

627
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 18: bless them, very transparent, provided the public with information that

628
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 18: would at least answer some questions without compromising that investigation.

629
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 18: That's number one.

630
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 5: Number two.

631
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 18: Even as a former law enforcement officer, hearing this, Chief

632
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 18: described what those cops were walking into, not knowing if

633
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 18: there was other shooters, not knowing if there were bombs there.

634
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 18: And what we miss sometimes as being in the public

635
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 18: is could you imagine those officers trying to get some

636
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 18: sleep after they saw what they saw, the carners they

637
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 18: saw in that church. So God blessed those cops and

638
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 18: the other adults and even some of the kids who

639
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 18: were very heroic in at least trying to save their

640
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 18: lives and others. Now, the question, Terrence, that many people

641
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 18: are asking, to your point, is how do we prevent

642
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 18: these things? How in the world do we prevent some

643
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 18: maniac getting these weapons and shooting up a whole bunch

644
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 18: of people, and in this case kids. This has to

645
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 18: be an all hands on deck solution number one to

646
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 18: your point, specifically, with mental health, all of us see

647
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 18: and we know people who we think that may have

648
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 18: some mental health problems. Now, some people we know do

649
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 18: go off an edge, and that should be an alarm

650
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 18: bell in our mind that there is something wrong here.

651
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 18: And most of the times, if not all of the times,

652
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 18: when we witness these terrible, horrific events, we find a

653
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 18: lot of evidence on the internet. We find a lot

654
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 18: of evidence in writings like this police chief described, so

655
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 18: when we see these things on the internet where we

656
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 18: believe in our gut's telling us there's something terribly wrong

657
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 18: with this person. As one individual during the press conference articulated,

658
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 18: we need to make the phone call, call your local police,

659
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 18: let them know there's something wrong here, and you might

660
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 18: find out that that person is planning something like this

661
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 18: individual planned against these children.

662
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 4: Steve, A small detail that was mentioned during that news

663
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 4: conference that I personally believe could have a major impact

664
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: on preventing these sorts of crimes in the future is

665
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 4: not naming the suspect. The police chief, they're asked, look,

666
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 4: do not say his name. I've said his name once.

667
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 4: Don't say his name because that's what he wanted. Talk

668
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 4: about how significant that is, and I'd like to get

669
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 4: it from your perspective as someone who worked in law enforcement.

670
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 18: Yeah, very significant, because you know, at the end of

671
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 18: the day, more people will know who the killer is

672
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 18: than the poor victims are. And so these individuals that

673
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 18: commit these crimes, and you know, you and I have

674
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 18: been talking a lot over the years I've been on

675
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 18: the air about copycat crimes. They see these individuals committing

676
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 18: these horrific acts and they're visualizing in their own mind

677
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 18: that could be me. Everybody will know my name, they'll

678
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 18: know who I am. So there you go with the

679
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 18: mental health situation. But in regard to that, what we

680
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 18: need to do is give more police a lot more funding.

681
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 18: I'm talking millions of dollars in local, state, county, and

682
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 18: city police departments to do wat terrence, to beef up

683
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 18: their intelligence and information gathering apparatus. We've got the best

684
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 18: technology on earth in this country, and we have to

685
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 18: now pour millions into police departments, and like I say,

686
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 18: even local ones in small towns where they're going to

687
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 18: have the technology to pick up a lot of what

688
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 18: we see and hear about on the internet. And that's

689
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 18: a very very important method that we could use in

690
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 18: preventing these crimes. Again, to your point about publicity, a

691
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 18: lot of people see what's going on the air. They

692
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 18: see these shootings and these people who are mentally unstable

693
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 18: or scratching your heads saying that could be me. So

694
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 18: it's a good thing, a real good thing, not to

695
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 18: put their names on the air.

696
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's not necessarily uncommon to see in situations like this,

697
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 4: local and federal authorities working together. But in the past,

698
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 4: there was this idea that there was some friction. I'm

699
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 4: not seeing that there in Minneapolis. And do you attribute

700
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 4: that to President Trump's leadership and the fact that in

701
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 4: DC in particular, he is putting federal resources on the

702
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 4: ground in some of these local cities and showing that

703
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 4: it's okay, it can work.

704
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 18: Oh, Terence, she's done an outstanding job. I mean, look,

705
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 18: how could you argue with what's going on, what was

706
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 18: going on in Washington, d c. And what is not

707
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 18: going on now? And I'll tell you something else. I

708
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 18: believe it was jd Vance earlier on your broadcast. Man,

709
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 18: he really articulated this one point very well. Why do

710
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 18: we have people in power? And in this case, unfortunately,

711
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 18: we're talking about Democrats and cities across the country trying

712
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 18: to hinder the ability of the guy in the White

713
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 18: House who wants to protect people in their cities. And

714
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 18: Darin Rubbs one of the problems we have. There should

715
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 18: be no opposition, no opposition at all, to bring more cops,

716
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 18: your National guard, whatever it takes you need to do

717
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 18: in order to do what to save lives. It was

718
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 18: Abraham Lincoln who said in his time, Terrence, we're living

719
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 18: in extraordasary times. We're living with extraordinary circumstances, so you're

720
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 18: going to have to take extraordinary measures to solve your problems.

721
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Lieutenant Rogers, it is always good to talk to you.

722
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 4: We appreciate your perspective and talking to us and spending

723
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 4: some time here with us this afternoon, well anytime. Thank

724
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 4: you very much, Thank you so much, my friend. A

725
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 4: new administration in Washington, DC has brought a lot of

726
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 4: positive changes when it comes to fixing our broken healthcare system.

727
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 4: The reality is, however, that there is only so much

728
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: the government can do, and if we really want to

729
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,439

745
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 4: do it for us. Here, we're going to take a

746
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 4: quick break. We'll be back momentarily a live look at

747
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 4: the White House here, We're going to have a live

748
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 4: report momentarily. But to set all of this up, you

749
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 4: may have been tuned in as Caroline Levitt held her

750
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 4: latest press briefing at the White House. She, of course,

751
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 4: as you can imagine, address multiple topics, including the tragic

752
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 4: school shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis.

753
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 4: We of course, also just heard from the police chief

754
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 4: there in Minneapolis, Steve Gruber was there in person and

755
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 4: asked Caroline leve At a question about having more police

756
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 4: in the streets on the streets of America well with respect.

757
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 12: To Labor Day.

758
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 3: One of the most underrepresented groups right now police officers.

759
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 3: Thirty thousand police officers short in America right now to

760
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: Brandom's question, thirteen hundred short in Chicago, three thousand short

761
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: in New York.

762
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 5: Five hundred short here in Washington, DC?

763
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 3: What can the White House? What can the President do

764
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 3: to help recruitment of police officers? Have done well with

765
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 3: the military and border patrol. What can we do with

766
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 3: more police officers on the streets of America?

767
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 16: Well, the President has certainly been very successful in recruiting

768
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 16: a federal law enforcement If you look at the ICE

769
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 16: recruitment campaign that was led by he and our Secretary

770
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 16: of Homeland Security, We've seen more than I believe one

771
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 16: hundred and thirty thousand applicants to join ICE, which is

772
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 16: just amazing. There's more applicants now than there are jobs

773
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 16: to fill, and we're very grateful for that. Clearly, Americans

774
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 16: want to serve their communities. They just need a leader

775
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 16: who encourages them to do so. So maybe Governor Pritzer

776
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 16: should spend less time demonizing the police, more time trying

777
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 16: to recruit more police, and more time trying to call

778
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 16: the President of the United States to get crime in

779
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 16: his city under control of them.

780
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 4: The man who asked that question, Steve Gruber, joining US

781
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 4: now live from the White House in Washington, d C.

782
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: With the very latest.

783
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 4: So Steve, really the issue of crime in this country

784
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 4: is front and center after what happened there in Minneapolis,

785
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 4: and I would imagine it is what is dominating the

786
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 4: conversations in the halls of the West Wing as well.

787
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: Well.

788
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: It certainly is.

789
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 3: Obviously this started a couple of weeks ago when Donald

790
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: Trump cracked down on crime, brought in the National Guard

791
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 3: into Washington, DC, federalized the Metropolitan Police Department. Here we

792
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 3: saw thirteen days without a homicide. So we're two weeks

793
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 3: now with one homicide in Washington, d C. So the

794
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: overriding point here is law enforcement in America. The city

795
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: of Minneapolis suffering from that attack at that Catholic school,

796
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 3: but earlier that same night, seven individuals shot in one incident,

797
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 3: another one murdered, so their police force is down twenty percent.

798
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 3: That's why I asked the Ques question, because the overriding

799
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 3: question is about law enforcement in America. If you're five

800
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 3: hundred officers short in DC, three thousand short in New

801
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: York City, thirteen hundred short in Chicago, obviously that's got

802
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 3: to be a big part of the problem. Terrence and

803
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 3: you take this back to defund the police. And I've

804
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 3: got to go all the way back to Barack Obama's

805
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: term because a lot of you will remember there is

806
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 3: a Black Lives Matter event happening in Dallas, Texas. Five

807
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 3: police officers shot and killed that day. Remember that it's

808
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 3: been forgotten by the folks here in the media terance.

809
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 3: They should never be forgotten. Five officers defending Black Lives

810
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 3: Matter got gunned down in Dallas. And I think that

811
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 3: there's been this exodus. And you ask any major police

812
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 3: department in America, there's been an exodus of law enforcement. Look,

813
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 3: it's Labor day, Labor Day weekend. We should talk about

814
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 3: employing more police officers in America.

815
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 5: What can we do to make it better?

816
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 3: How can we get more police on the streets because

817
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 3: clearly more police. Look I'm not real good with math,

818
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: but more police means less crime. Okay, I mean I

819
00:45:58,560 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 3: think that's pretty simple.

820
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Steve.

821
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 4: President Trump has commissioned a leaders on Capitol Hill to

822
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: draft a crime bill. Any idea what that crime bill

823
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 4: would include? And I've got to imagine it would be

824
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 4: more of funding for what you've just described, funding to

825
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 4: get more police officers back on the street.

826
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 3: Well, clearly, I mean think about Chicago. Chicago is now,

827
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 3: for the thirteenth year in a row, the leader with

828
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 3: the most murderers in America. You're shy of six hundred

829
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 3: people will be murdered in Chicago this year. They could

830
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 3: even break six hundred. It's unbelievable. And so for Governor Prisker,

831
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: who Caroline Levitt addressed directly, or the Mayor of Chicago,

832
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: Brandon Johnson, for them to sit there and suggest, well,

833
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 3: we don't need your help, Clearly you do need help.

834
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 3: If you've got six hundred murders, you've led the nation

835
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 3: and murders for thirteen consecutive years, you're not getting the

836
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 3: job done. Nothing changes. If you live on the South

837
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 3: Side of Chicago and you're a pensioner, you're sixty five,

838
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 3: you're seventy years old, you have no way of getting

839
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 3: out of this, and you've got gangs and shootings murder

840
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 3: on your streets. If you're an elderly person, you're probably

841
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 3: afraid to leave your apartment at all for fear of

842
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 3: being robbed or shot. And what about people taking their

843
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: kids to school in these major cities, stepping over fecal

844
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 3: matter or walking through open air drug dens. Look, we're

845
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 3: short thirty thousand police officers in America. And the point

846
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 3: that I made to Caroline and she responded, so, well,

847
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 3: we're thirty thousand police officers short. This administration, this president

848
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: has been terrific at recruiting military people, recruiting border patrol

849
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 3: ice agents. I'm sure they can do something in this

850
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 3: crime bill to encourage more recruitment of police officers that

851
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 3: want to serve in Los Angeles and Cleveland and Dallas

852
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: and all over this country. Terrence, it's time to clean

853
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 3: up the streets, and that's going to take some effort.

854
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: It's going to take some more police officers out there

855
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 3: doing the job instead of fleeing because they're being treated

856
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 3: so poorly.

857
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 4: Steve, about an hour ago or so, we heard from

858
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 4: Vice President JD.

859
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: Vance.

860
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 4: He's in Wisconsin right now talking about the one big,

861
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 4: Beautiful Bill. But as you can imagine, a crime and

862
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 4: punishment or public safety is an issue that he was

863
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 4: asked about, and he said, yeah, the President is willing

864
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,959
Speaker 4: to help, but at this point he simply wants any

865
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 4: of these leaders to ask him for help.

866
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to force it. If they ask, we

867
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: will come.

868
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 4: And I guess that really shows that President Trump is

869
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 4: trying to be trying not to force things, but at

870
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 4: some point in time, if they don't ask, he's probably

871
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 4: going to take matters into his own hands.

872
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: I would imagine, well.

873
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 3: You know, at some point you've got to say, look,

874
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 3: I am the commander in chief. My number one job

875
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 3: is to protect the citizens of America. And if the

876
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 3: governors won't do it, if the mayors won't do it,

877
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 3: we need to make changes. And there's this red herring

878
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 3: out there being passed around by Hakim Jeffries and Jamie

879
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 3: Raskin and other Democrats. Oh, Republican cities have problems too.

880
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 3: Go ahead and look this up, because I did. Folks

881
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 3: of the twenty most violent cities in America nineteen nineteen

882
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 3: have Democrat mayors. I mean, this is a problem that's

883
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 3: almost exclusively Democrat. Week on crime fund, the police, a

884
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 3: revolving door at the jail. This is almost exclusively a

885
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 3: Democrat problem that has to be corrected. And Donald Trump

886
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 3: said during that long cabinet meeting here a couple of

887
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 3: days ago, crime crime could be the number one issue

888
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 3: for the midterms because crime it's eighty one percent of Americans,

889
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: eighty percent, including sixty eight percent of Democrats, consider crime

890
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: to be a major problem in America. And how could

891
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 3: they not this whole idea that crime is down. Nobody

892
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 3: believes that people are out in the cities. They see

893
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 3: what happens. Washington, DC today is a different city than

894
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 3: it was the last time I was here a month

895
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 3: or a month and a half ago. I can tell

896
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 3: you that it's a different attitude. It's a different city.

897
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 3: This has to come to Chicago, this has to come

898
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: to Detroit, to Cleveland, well to Memphis. The most dangerous

899
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 3: city in America per capital is Memphis, Tennessee. Again a

900
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 3: red state, but a blue city with a big problem

901
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 3: of violence.

902
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: We need to do better.

903
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Steve Grew reporting for us at the White House. Steve,

904
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 4: do still continue to stay safe even though there's more

905
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 4: least presence on the streets of Washington, DC.

906
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: You just never know. Thanks so much, Steve. Be safe.

907
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk soon. Thank you. All right, folks, We're going

908
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: to take a quick break.

909
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 4: When we come back, we'll have your answers to our

910
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 4: America's Voice question of the day here, it is what

911
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 4: should be done? In order to put more police on the.

912
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: Streets of America. It's something Steve just addressed moments ago.

913
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 4: Can't wait to hear what you have to say.

914
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to everyone.

915
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 4: We appreciate you being here with us for America's voice Live.

916
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 4: I realize there are many choices when it comes to

917
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 4: who you choose for your cell phone services, and there

918
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 4: are also.

919
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: New ones popping up all the time. But here's the truth.

920
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 4: There's only one that boldly stands in the gap for

921
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 4: every American that believes freedom is worth fighting for, and

922
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,919
Speaker 4: that would be Patriot Mobile. For more than twelve years,

923
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines fighting for

924
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,360

Speaker 4: nationwide cell phone survey. All of this with access to

926
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 4: all three of the main networks. So don't just take

927
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 4: my word for it. Ask the hundreds of thousands of

928
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 4: Americans who have made the switch and are now supporting

929
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 4: causes they believe in.

930
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: Simply by joining Patriot Mobile, switching.

931
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 4: Is easier than ever activating minutes from the comfort of

Speaker 4: your own home.

Speaker 1: Keep your phone number, keep your phone, or you can

934
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: upgrade if you so choose. Patriot mobiles.

935
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 4: All US based support team is standing by to take
