But yes, this is the news so 17 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 3: many people were waiting for and probably didn't think would 18 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: have happened this quickly. 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: And I think you said the most important part, right, 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: The President signed off on this. He said, it was 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: my suggestion to the president. He's going along with it 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: and we're leaving now, Robes, this will be seen as 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: some as what a victory. Will this be seen in 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: any way as a retreat by the president. He certainly 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: will make sure it's not framed that way. But bottom line, 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: as we get into the back and forth here robes, 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: isn't the bottom line the basics that just this national 28 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: nightmare and international embarrassment to a certain degree that's even 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: impacting our Olympians is going to end. 30 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: You know what, I think that is a very good 31 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: way to put it, and it's going to end. I 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: feel like in a way, both sides can say they 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: wont Both sides can point to something and say this 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: happened because of what we did or what we said. 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: So you've got borders. 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: Are Tom Holman saying we've made four thousand arrests, Minneapolis 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: is safer. He made a point we'll get into his 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: exact comments, telling folks, if you're illegal in Minneapolis, you're 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: not okay or in the clear. We are still going 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: to be enforcing the law, but just not with three 41 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: thousand ICE agents boots on the ground. And then you've 42 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: got protesters who can say our voices were heard, our 43 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: local and state officials stood up for us, and we 44 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: eventually were able through our collective efforts to get Ice 45 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: out of Minneapolis. 46 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: Everybody gets to say. 47 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: They won, and the President will refuse to let anybody 48 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: say he retreated or that he caved, or he in 49 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: some way cave to these Democratic lawmakers, these Democratic leaders. 50 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: Not sure how he's going to frame this, but I 51 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: think Tom Holman today was careful. He has been good, 52 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: a straight shooter, but even today is in making sure 53 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: that he was giving the president credit. He also has 54 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: been good rose about saying not saying this thing perfectly, 55 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: and I'm here because it didn't go perfectly, and I'm 56 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: here to make it better. So he's been on the 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: ground for a week and a half and all of 58 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: a sudden everything changes. 59 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: It's incredible. And look, I appreciate this. 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 3: We say enough things about President Trump and his decisions 61 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: and maybe even what he says about his decisions, but 62 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: I will say that it is refreshing to see him 63 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: trust people he put in charge. So he took someone 64 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: like Homan who was actually working. He's worked for the 65 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: Obama administration. This isn't a partisan borders are. This is 66 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: somebody who has worked in different administrations who you might 67 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: think President Trump might not trust because of that, but 68 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: instead trusted the guy on the ground who he put 69 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: in charge to say what he thinks is best for 70 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: the law and order of that community. And it's just 71 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: nice to see President Trump supporting that decision. 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: And look, will two American citizens have died in the 73 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: past several weeks because and he will tell you, because 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: of this surge having them out of there, and they're 75 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: no longer being surge. For many people will say Minnesota 76 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: is safer because you're leaving. The administration is saying you're 77 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: safer because we came in the first place. Who cares 78 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: at this point, who wants to win whatever pr battle? 79 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: Who cares? 80 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: But if we don't have to see any more tear 81 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: gas and spitting and throwing and kicking, and if we 82 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: don't have to see anymore of that on the streets, 83 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: whoever take it out? 84 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: And it's amazing obviously those of us who are reporting 85 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 3: on it, and anyone who's listening to this has been 86 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: watching it, we've been reading it. But the folks in 87 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: Minneapolis have been living it. And I cannot imagine what 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: that must have been like, what that has been like 89 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: for everybody in that community, People who care about the 90 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: immigration community, people who are here who might be here 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 3: legally but look like they could be illegal immigrants. You know, 92 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 3: the fear, the distrust, the chaos, the anger, the violence. 93 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 3: And yes, it is so tragically sad that two people, 94 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: a young a mother of young children, and an icy 95 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: U nurse were literally gunned down in the streets of 96 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: their own city. It's it was horrific and difficult, and 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: as you pointed out, even made its way to the 98 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 3: Olympics in controversy. 99 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: And so if all of this robes that everywhere you go, 100 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: people are seeing what's happening on the streets of an 101 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: American city where we're fighting each other and you have 102 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: government agents killing American citizens. 103 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: That has happened. 104 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: It's not a blame and a back and a fourth 105 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: and who should have been there, should have moved a 106 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: car and he shouldn't have been so angry. That's not it. 107 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: The point remains, robes we are Americans fighting Americans literally 108 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: in the streets of American city, and Americans are dying. 109 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: If that gets to stop and decrease the chances, then 110 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: so be it. And look, thank you, mister Tom Holmer. 111 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: He has been such a straight shooter. We've watched some 112 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: of these press conferences sometimes going come on, dude, like 113 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: wake up an He's just not an animated guy. 114 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: This is who he is, straightforward, gruff, and. 115 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: That's exactly who we needed, it appears, because take the 116 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: emotion out of it and get the job done. And 117 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: when the job is done to the best of your ability, 118 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: you get out, you leave. Look, we're here in Mexico. 119 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 3: We've told everybody this We saw in the streets of 120 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: this small little surfing town f Trump f Ice. It's 121 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: even here in Mexico. Obviously, folks, folks who live here 122 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: or who have maybe family members who have emigrated. 123 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: Or who live in the United States. 124 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: Obviously you understand why there's that sentiment here in a 125 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 3: Spanish speaking country. 126 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: But still it was still surprising to see it. 127 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: I forgot about that. That was just yesterday. We saw 128 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: that and couldn't believe it was here. But Holman gave 129 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: this press conference today. 130 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: Again. 131 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: We had it scheduled, it was planned, and to be honest, 132 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: we were in the middle of some other work and 133 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: I was going to put it up and I said, oh, okay, 134 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: it's probably just giving an update. Wasn't expecting this today, 135 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: but he came out with us. I'm very pleased to 136 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: report that this surge operation and our work here with 137 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: state and local officials to improve coordination and achieve mutual goals, 138 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: as well as our efforts to address issues of concern 139 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: here on the ground, have yielded the success results we 140 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: came here for. There were some issues here, and we 141 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: addressed those issues. But I'm not gonna sit here and 142 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: say anybody did anything wrong. I'm going to say there's 143 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: some issues here, we fixed those issues. We've had great 144 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: success with its operation, and we're leaving Minnesota safer. 145 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: Okay, that true? 146 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 3: Fine, Okay, say, and if that is the belief among 147 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: the Border Patrol agents, if that is the belief from 148 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: the Trump administration, then that's great. And look, we had 149 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: what three thousand ICE agents there last week they announced 150 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: that they were pulling back seven hundred, so there was 151 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: twenty three hundred left on the ground. And even still 152 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: you had Mayor Jacob Fry come out and say that's 153 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: still too many. We don't want twenty three hundred ICE 154 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: agents here. Ice out. I'm not going to rest until 155 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: ICE is gone. Well, Homan did say that, yes, ICE 156 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: is leaving, but they will leave a small footprint of 157 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: personnel for a periody of time to close out and 158 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: transition and give control back to the field office, which 159 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: is what I everyone in that state. 160 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: I what local or state official said anything other than that. 161 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: And yes, this is a democratic state, this has got 162 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: democratic leaders. But still there was no I never heard 163 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 3: one voice who actually lived and resided in Minnesota who 164 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: said they wanted ICE to stay. 165 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: No, not one, anybody. I keep doing what you're doing. 166 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: It's going great. That nobody was saying that, correct. I'm 167 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: not sure that's what I'm saying. 168 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: I did not. 169 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 3: I cannot think of overcall one official voice from Minnesota 170 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 3: who is a local elected official who said that they 171 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: wanted ICE to stay. 172 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: And the way Homan put it, I have proposed, and 173 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: President Trump has concurred that this surge operation conclude the 174 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: back and forth. And I don't know what interpretation needs 175 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: to be done and what back and forth I don't 176 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: know robes. But if it's ending, we have to be 177 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: relieved that what we've seen on the streets is not 178 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: going to continue for the foreseeable future. 179 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: Yes, and look, I think that. 180 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: I understand and I think most Americans don't want laws 181 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: to be in place that aren't enforced, the whole point 182 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: of having a law, the whole point of having a 183 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 3: society that is able to operate within the boundaries of laws, 184 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: require consequences when people break the law. So I think 185 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: there was always an ability to strike a balance here. 186 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,239 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone is looking to have criminals murderers. 187 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: They always like to give all the different violent labels 188 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: to the criminals who are also here illegal, I think everybody, 189 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: And that was seemed like such an obvious compromise that 190 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: they eventually reached that in your jail, are already in prison, 191 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 3: are already in jail, are already incarcerated, take them and 192 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: take them back to their home countries. 193 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: That I don't that if. 194 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: That was all it took for this to all wind down, 195 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: it's exhausting to think that we couldn't have gotten there earlier. 196 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: Or yeah, it's all exhausting to think how many injuries, 197 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: how many arrests, Rerene Good, Alex Preddy dead over what 198 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: because Homan wasn't there early enough. Again, I'm not saying 199 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: it's putting on him. I'm just saying it sounds like 200 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: he came up with a very simple solution when cooler 201 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: heads prevailed and you mentioned great point, Robes, This dude 202 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: is a straight shooter. No emotion, seems like everybody we 203 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: heard from there was emotion in the Governor Waltz's motion, 204 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: Mayor Fry obviously with his box. There's nothing but emotion 205 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: coming from the President in some of his language. So 206 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: Homan never been worked up during all of this. But folks, 207 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: in the middle of all this, what does this mean? Now? 208 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's Thursday, you remember tomorrow shut down? Is 209 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: that gonna change anything? Now that ice is leaving Minnesota? 210 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: Stay here. 211 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: All right? We continue here the breaking update Ice out 212 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: of Minnesota. The White House, the administration has just announced 213 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: through Tom Holman, the borders are, who has been the 214 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: President's man on the ground there in Minnesota's for the past. 215 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: We gonna have did do a press conference announce that, Yes, 216 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: in fact, the Minnesota the surge is going to be 217 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: ending and they're gonna be winding down operations there. Robes, Meanwhile, 218 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm back in Washington. Partial shut down is on tap 219 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: right for midnight tomorrow night. Very partial, very specific to DHS, 220 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: but it could have widespread impacts. But Robes, is this 221 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: gonna change things? Now that the fight is over ICE funding. 222 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: So now that ICE is going to be leaving Minnesota, 223 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: will this change anything? 224 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: I think that remains to be. 225 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: Think you answered at the beginning, because look. 226 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: They have to obviously now take all of those agents 227 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: and get them back to wherever their home offices were. 228 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: That all costs money, transportation costs. 229 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: Are they all going to leave today before the government 230 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 3: shuts down on Friday? 231 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: In terms of being able to fund and pay. 232 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: For is I didn't think about that, all of the 233 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 3: transportation costs that are going to have to take place 234 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: for I'm thinking about planes and trains and automobiles and 235 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: having to get back and to leave Minneapolis. 236 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: That costs money. 237 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: In order to pay for that, you have to have 238 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: a funded Department of Homeland Security, which it will not 239 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 3: be as of tomorrow at midnight. 240 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 241 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: They're still trying to find hopefully solutions, not sure if 242 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: a main one has emerged. They do their their delicate dance, 243 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: and they know how to maneuver this and that and 244 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: to kick the can. But DHS is not just amount 245 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: of funding ICE. We're talking about FEMA, when we're talking 246 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: about TSA. Now those are organizations that will are supposed 247 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: to continue operating. Those folks have to show up to work, certainly, TSA. 248 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: But ro, do you want to go through this again 249 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: with the TSA. You remember how fearful we all were 250 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: there's a shortage where and you're shutting down airspace for 251 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: how many hours because you have a staffing shortage in 252 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: the tower that's getting my plane or my loved ones 253 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: safely to the ground. We don't need to see it. No, 254 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: they got it. 255 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: They come on, we don't. And this thought bubble just 256 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 2: popped up in my head. Can be dangerous, folks. 257 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is I'm wondering how this announcement 258 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: plays into the negotiating that's going on among members of Congress. 259 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: They want these restrictions, they want tighter restrictions on ICE agents, 260 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: on border patrol officers because of what happened in Minneapolis. 261 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 2: Is this a move that would actually. 262 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 3: Make some of those Democratic lawmakers more likely to reach 263 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: a compromise because they're seeing now the administration basically compromising 264 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: in a sense. Now they're not saying their compromise, they're 265 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 3: saying their job is done or their work has been done, 266 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: and they've they can't they accomplished what they came into accomplish, 267 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 3: but still they are leaving Minneapolis, which is absolutely what 268 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: Democrats want it. So I'm just wondering if this plays 269 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: into that, and maybe because of this move, they'll actually 270 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: be able to come to an agreement and nothing. 271 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: Your thought bubble, Yes, it was a cynical bubble that 272 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: it was all a part of a larger, grander scheme. 273 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: I mean it's possible. 274 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: Fine, fine, but it's ending, folks, and I think we 275 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: should all, at least and to some degree roades, be 276 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: relieved that these clashes will not continue. And they're violent, 277 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: and they are they're nasty, and we've seen them play out. 278 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: If that's going to animal Okay. 279 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: The escalation was just so difficult to watch, so watching 280 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: it de escalate is just actual relief. I feel my 281 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: shoulders relaxing, and I love what Homan said, and I 282 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: just think this is maybe a good way to wrap 283 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 3: this up. Homan said, I don't want to see any 284 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: more bloodshed. I pray every night for the safety of 285 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: law enforcement personnel and the safety of those in the community, 286 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 3: whether you're here legally or illegally. 287 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: I don't want to see anybody harmed. 288 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: If those words, those should be the ones coming out 289 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: the mouth of the President of the United States. That 290 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: is all any of us want, is what Holman said, 291 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: A respect for human life and just human dignity. It 292 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're here illegally, you're still a human being. 293 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: You got to go, but we are going to treat 294 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: you as a decent person as we have to escort 295 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: you out. That's okay, Robes, that line, I'm gonna save it. 296 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: It's going to be our quote of the day tomorrow. 297 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: That line is what we need it from somebody. 298 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: I got chills thinking about this. Yes, finally we have somebody. 299 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: And it's not a coincidence that things are settling, de 300 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: escalating and act actually feeling like America when you have 301 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 3: someone say something that everybody can agree with. And this 302 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 3: is exactly what we needed and who we needed. And 303 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: thank god. Yes, it came too late for Alex Pretty 304 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: and it came too late for Rene Good, but at 305 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 3: least it finally came there isn't Hopefully this prevents another 306 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: another tragedy which we were almost certainly headed towards.
