That's why I'm letting you 65 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 4: know that as I literally just got the phone with 66 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: members of Congress to get an update on what they're hearing. 67 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: And I'm gonna be honest with you. After talking and 68 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 4: texting with several different people in Congress, many of them 69 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: still don't know exactly what this final bill is going 70 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: to look like. There is a lot of back and 71 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 4: forth it is taking place right now. 72 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: Now. 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 4: There's also a rumor that at midnight tonight they're up 74 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 4: to sit GOP senators that are holding out on the 75 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 4: Big Beautiful Bill. I talked to another senator who said 76 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: it's five different GOP members, but they believe that those 77 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: five will come around after they get some concessions that 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 4: they need. This is how the sausage is made in Washington, DC. 79 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: And yes, all of the people I talked to are 80 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 4: sitting around their offices waiting for what's gonna happen next. 81 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 4: So let's go back to earlier in the day and 82 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: I want to explain to you how we got to 83 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: the point that we are at right now. Caroline Levitt 84 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 4: taking a lot of heat at the White House Press 85 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: briefing today on the Big Beautiful Bill because there are 86 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: so many in the Democratic Party and in the mainstream 87 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 4: media that want to destroy this from becoming a reality. 88 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: I want you to listen to what she had to 89 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: say about this legislation. 90 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 5: You speak on it, can you respond to the CBO 91 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 5: estimates that the Senate would increase the deficite on nearly eight. 92 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: Three point three trophy. 93 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 5: This is one of the most fiscally conservative pieces of 94 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 5: legen that has ever made its way through Capitol Hill. 95 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 5: There's two trillion dollars in mandatory savings in this bill, 96 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 5: and not only that, the projected growth that this bill 97 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 5: will bring to our economy. It will be an economic boom. 98 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 5: The Council of Economic Advisors has an analysis that shows 99 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 5: that the bill will generate four point one trillion dollars 100 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 5: in economic growth and it will cut taxes, putting more 101 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: money back into the American people's pockets. That's why this 102 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 5: president wants this bill to pass, and I know he's 103 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 5: busy working the phones and doing what he needs to 104 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 5: do today to make it happen. So we'll see you 105 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 5: all later. Thank you, We'll see you in Florida. 106 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 6: Thank you now. 107 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 4: As you heard Caroline say there, we'll see you and 108 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: tomorrow in Florida, meaning right now as you're listing this show. 109 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: There's also another important part of what she just said. 110 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 4: The President is working the phones and has been working 111 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 4: them from what I've been told all day long and 112 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 4: late into the evening and very well maybe pulling what 113 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 4: you would refer to in college is a good old 114 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 4: all nighter making sure that this gets across the finish line. Now, 115 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: there is also other centers that are going on TV 116 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 4: talking about where they believe this is going. Centater turber 117 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: Bilt from Alabama, you may know him as the football coach. 118 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 4: Here's what he had to say on Fox Business. 119 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 7: What is your assessment when you look at the whole thing, 120 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 7: what would you have liked to have gotten in that 121 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 7: didn't and what do you think is the best things 122 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 7: in it? 123 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, two thirds of the bill is 124 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 6: the tax cuts, which obviously we've got to get done. 125 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 6: It's necessary. Then one third of the bill is we're 126 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 6: reforming most of the agencies, which is Medicaid, you know, 127 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 6: school loans, all those things that are really costing us 128 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 6: a lot of money. They've right now, we have forty 129 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 6: seven million young Americans that are in debt with student 130 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 6: loans for one point seven trillion dollars. We can't sustain that. 131 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 6: We can't sustain it. So we've done some work on that. 132 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 6: We've done some work on Medicaid. Medicaid is basically reforming, 133 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 6: kicking people off that's not supposed to be on their 134 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 6: illegals and people that should be working. So all this, 135 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 6: most of it is good. You just sometimes you hate 136 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 6: to do things that you know is going to put 137 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 6: people in a situation where they're going to be uncomfortable. 138 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 6: But the end of the day, we all have to 139 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 6: adjust to this because we can't keep spending the way 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 6: we're spending right now. 141 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: We can't do it. 142 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: We can't keep spending the way we're spinning right now. 143 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 4: We just can't keep doing it now. Senator Turberville brought 144 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 4: up an excellent point there as well. Two thirds of 145 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 4: this big, beautiful bill are actually tax cuts and one 146 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 4: third is reforming most of the agencies that is extremely important. Now, 147 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 4: there's also many that are saying the American people actually 148 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 4: don't want this. One of the things that Tom Tillis 149 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: has been saying about this bill that actually is not true. 150 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: In fact, if you go back and look at what 151 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: Donald Trump ran on He ran on the issue of 152 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: making the Trump tax cuts permanent. How are we doing it? 153 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 4: It is through the Big Beautiful Bill. So the president 154 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 4: United States of America is burning the mid Oil Center. 155 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 4: Ron Johnson defending the Big Beautiful Bill as well on CNN, 156 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: saying this to Jake Tapper. 157 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 8: Billion So Biden deficits were three times larger than pre 158 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 8: pandemic levels of deathsit and spending is just out of control. 159 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: So it's easy to be a Democrat. 160 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 8: Spend mortgage a kid's future, never be held accountable by 161 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 8: the media. It's pretty hard what we're trying to do, 162 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 8: and so this may take a little bit more time. 163 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 7: Well, deficit spending is a bipartisan affliction. 164 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: You know that better than anyone. 165 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 7: Earlier this month, you were warning about this bill adding 166 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 7: trillions to the national debt. You told ABC News quote, 167 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 7: I'm worried about our kids and grandkids, the fact that 168 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 7: we're mortgaging their future. It's wrong, it's immoral. Is has 169 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 7: your position changed? It's this bill. I mean, this legislation 170 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 7: is still going to add to the deficits. 171 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 8: So Democrats their only solution is increased taxes. We don't 172 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 8: want to do that that harms economic growth. We will 173 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 8: get the revenue you ever look for it. All Democrats 174 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 8: do is spend. By the way they're talking about we're 175 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 8: going to you know, test cuts for millionaires. 176 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: No, we're just not going to increase taxes. 177 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 8: They could have done that in the four years when 178 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 8: they were in power. They could have gotten rid of 179 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 8: the Tax Cutting Jobs Act. They could have increased taxes 180 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 8: on every American. That's what we're trying to avoid. So again, 181 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 8: Democrats love to spend. 182 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 2: I'm not saying. 183 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 8: That we don't have Republicans that are a big spender 184 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 8: as well. I've been focusing on spending, spending, spending, trying 185 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 8: to put pressure on the process, and I think right 186 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 8: now the stumbling block is what the Senate bill does. 187 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 8: Even though we actually reduce spending more, we also make 188 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 8: sure that those business tax provisions which will incentivize growth 189 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 8: are permanent. 190 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: So that holds a bigger score. 191 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 8: But the difference between the House and Center is about 192 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 8: six hundred and fifty one billion dollars. Rick Scott's amendment, 193 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 8: which is eminently reasonable. It doesn't kick anybody off of Medicaid. 194 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 8: It just limits at some point in time in the 195 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 8: future additional adults who are childless, who are working age, 196 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 8: who could work. It's going to deny them that nine 197 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 8: to one match, which is distorted Medicaid. Jake, for every 198 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 8: dollar the state puts into a to provide health care 199 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 8: for a disabled child, the federal government puts a buck 200 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 8: thirty three. But for every dollar they put in toward 201 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 8: a single childless adult who should be working, we kick 202 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 8: in nine. That has led to all kinds of abuse, 203 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 8: provider taxes, provider fees. 204 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: By the way, that's not healthcare. 205 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 8: But you have the federal government's kicking out nine dollars 206 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 8: for every one of the states. That's what we're trying 207 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 8: to address. We're not trying to take Medicaid away from 208 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 8: disabled children. We're trying to stop that scam the states 209 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 8: and providers have been using to draw down one hundreds 210 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 8: of billions of dollars for the federal government that we 211 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 8: can't afford. 212 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 4: So you listen to Ron Johnson there defending the big 213 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 4: beautiful bill. DEM's only solution has increased taxes and saying, quote, 214 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 4: it's easy to be a Democrat. You can also find 215 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: it very interesting that Jake Tapper it see it and 216 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 4: now actually cares about government spending, something he didn't care 217 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 4: about under the Biden administration, not one single time, but 218 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the media now is like, well, 219 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 4: we need to be looking at the deficit. At the 220 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 4: end of the day. Donald Trump promised to make the 221 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 4: tax cuts permanent and to rein in the size of government. 222 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 4: That's clearly what he's advocating for and what he's trying 223 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 4: to do right now. Now, I'll say this for the 224 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 4: five that are apparently holding out at this hour a 225 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 4: little after midnight as I am recording the show, anything 226 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: can happen in the next few hours, and I have 227 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: a feeling that at the end of the day, Donald 228 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 4: Trump will be working those phones and making sure that 229 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 4: the big, beautiful bill gets across the finish line for 230 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 4: the American people. 231 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: Now, story number two. 232 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 4: The media yet again putting ice agents lives at risk, 233 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: this time CNN featuring a segment on ice Block. It 234 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: is an app that lets users anonymously crowd source ice 235 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 4: agents sightings across the app and send alerts to others 236 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 4: within a five mile radius. Now, the app's creator framed 237 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: as a quote harmless early warning system to help people 238 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: avoid ice, not to incite violence against the agents. Ice 239 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: block enforces constraints, they claim as well, one post every 240 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 4: five minutes, auto deletion after four hours, and explicitly recommends 241 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 4: users not interfere with officers. That's their get out of 242 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: jail free card. Apparently, the White House Press Secretary Caroline 243 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 4: Levitt accusing CNN of encouraging violence by publicizing the app, 244 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 4: especially amid a reported five hundred percent surge in assaults 245 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 4: on ICE agents nationwide. The acting ICE Director called CNN's 246 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 4: coverage quote reckless and irresponsible, warning that it paints a 247 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 4: target on federal law enforcement officers. Backs and Tom Homan, 248 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: the former ICE director, and the current borders are branded. 249 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 4: The app is simply disgusting, and urge the DOJ to 250 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: investigate CNN's role in all of this. I want you 251 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: to hear more of what Tom Holman had to say 252 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 4: on Fox News Channel about this. 253 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: Well. 254 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 9: This next story is outrageous. A new iPhone app is 255 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 9: alerting people about ICE sightings in the area. As if 256 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 9: that's not bad enough. Seeing in it appears to be 257 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 9: promoting the app, talking to the creator, and doing a 258 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 9: whole story on it. That is not sitting well with 259 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 9: my next guest the borders. Our Tom Holman joins me. Now, Tom, 260 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 9: they've crossed the line here. This is out of control. 261 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 10: I know. It's just simply disgusting, and any network that 262 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 10: covers that is disgusting as well. So I'm hoping DOJ 263 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 10: steps in here and see if they cross that line. 264 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 10: I'm competing federal law enforcement offshoes. Look, Lawrence, you're not 265 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 10: talking about this. Passaulting concise is up over five hundred percent. 266 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 10: Now you've got an app that's going to tell where 267 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 10: ICE operators are going to be. It's only a matter 268 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 10: of time for ICE stages are ambushed by some nut 269 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 10: like we're happening in LA throwing them a top cocktail, 270 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 10: throwing bricks, and these officers. This is just disgusting at 271 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 10: every level. So I hope DOJ dives in this deeply, 272 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 10: because you know, ICE is constraint on public safety threats 273 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 10: and national security threats. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. 274 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 10: There shouldn't be an issue anybody's is against. So they're 275 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 10: already a dangerous job going after the worst of the worst. 276 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 10: These guys are putting their lives on the line every day, 277 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 10: going after the worst and worst international security threats, and 278 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 10: this app makes it that much more dangerous. It's it's 279 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 10: incredible that those who enforced law, all of a sudden, 280 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 10: they are the bad guys you want to break the law, 281 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 10: they're victims. It's disgusting. 282 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 9: Why I was seeing in promote this, Why would they 283 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 9: do a story on this? 284 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 10: I can't figure out. I've been look, I've been doing 285 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 10: this for four decades. I've never seen anything like this 286 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 10: in my life. You know, it's got to be they 287 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 10: hate Trump more than love law enforcement or I can't 288 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 10: figure it out, but something needs to be done. I mean, 289 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 10: you advertise this guy's app National TV Network, They're just 290 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 10: going to bring more followers, sick followers to the app 291 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 10: and use it again, letting the bad guy know Ice 292 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 10: is coming. They're here, here's where they're going next. This 293 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 10: is dangerous for the men and women. 294 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 9: So true, Tom, I want. 295 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: To get you. 296 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: Tom Homan clearly slamming CNN for promoting the ice tracking 297 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: app and now is saying maybe it's time for law enforcement, 298 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 4: the DOJ to step in here and see if they 299 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 4: cross the line. Competing federal law enforcement officers. Yet again 300 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 4: another example of how the left is doing everything they 301 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 4: can to protect illegal immigrants and put American lives at risk. 302 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 303 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
