We're with a 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.679 government accountability Institute. We have a podcast which you can 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.800 find out about at the drill down dot com and 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.080 you can join the conversation one eight hundred nine four 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.800 one seven three two six when h nine four one 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.119 seven three two six. We have a great guest. Now 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.679 we live in the Sunshine State, the great state of Florida. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.839 I've been here for thirty plus years. You were born 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.080 here and raised here. New Lieutenant governor appointed just a 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.320 couple of weeks ago, Jay Collins a real badass. Now 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.039 it's hard to think of politicians as being a badass. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.320 Well especially lieutenant governors, because like it's like lieutenant governor 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:49.960 is kind of like vice president but worse. 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.560 You know, it's like, what do you actually do? 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.080 Florida has been famous for not having one for an 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.400 extended period of time, so that we have one, it 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.240 was news a couple of weeks ago, but then when 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.320 they picked the one they picked, it became even more newsworthy. 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:02.680 And he's been to work quickly. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.920 Yeah. So Jay Collins is a former Green Beret. He's 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.160 been a state senator. He's introduced and passed great legislation 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.079 that we're going to talk about. But we want to 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.600 talk to him first of all about what's going on 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.240 with regards to illegal immigration in the state of Florida 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.080 and the initiatives that are taking place there. Lieutenant Governor 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:20.799 Collins how are you. 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.440 I'm doing well. Thank you for having me on today. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.919 So tell us we had this terrible tragedy in the 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.680 Florida Highway where three in some people died. You had 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.760 this migrant illegally in the country who took that incredible 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.520 U turn in traffic. Three people died. You actually went 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.919 and brought him back to the state of Florida to 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.519 face justice. You essentially purp walked him off of the 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.600 plane and you said, there's absolutely no leniency for what 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.360 he did. Tell us why this issue is so important 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.520 to you, and what are the some of the tangible 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.520 things that the state of Florida is doing that's different 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.040 compared to a lot of other states around the country. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.400 Well, hey, that's a great question, and let's just kind 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.920 of start with where this thing all began. Three innocent 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.720 lives were ended early because of somebody who crossed over 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.639 the California border in twenty eighteen illegally gained the asylum 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.760 system in a state that we know, frankly cares more 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.400 about legal immigrants than they do Californians American citizens, and 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.280 certainly obviously don't care what happened in Florida to our people. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.280 But we do so. Yes, absolutely, I had no faith 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.920 nor did the governor, to see that Gavin Newsom was 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.440 going to follow along do the right thing. So we 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.960 went over there, we held the press conference, we talked 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.320 about it, we made sure that everyone knew we were there, 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.080 and then we made sure this got brought back because 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.920 what I want our people to know is that our 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.960 government is going to go over there. We're going to 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.160 stand for them and make sure that somebody faces justice. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.520 Because what if that was your loved one. What if 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.280 that was your neighbor, someone you knew, and they lost 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.440 their life and they were playing the game with the 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.560 asylum system, or in California or New Mexico or some 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:09.440 other liberal statement just doesn't want to follow President Trump's agenda, 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:15.080 Donald Governor of Stantus's agenda, or frankly just basic common sense. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.479 Somebody has to lead, and we are the conservative proving 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.640 grounds of America. And that's what we did. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.320 Now, you guys have been leading, not just in terms 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.400 of being aggressive to go retrieve this individual. Wall Street 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.320 Journal chronicled the efforts to deputize members of the Florida 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.760 State Highway Patrol to be kind of the boots on 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.520 the ground as part of the immigration enforcement. Obviously, there's 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.960 been the Alligator Alcatraz that's been now they're fighting over 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.159 in court, but that's gotten a lot of headlines as well. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.920 Why is immigration such a big issue to your administration now? 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.720 Well, look, the American people made this completely clear. They 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.880 want the illegal immigration problem taken care of. That was 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.320 made clear when President Trump won with an overwhelming majority. 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.480 And where are we at, well here or we take 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.080 that seriously? We think that when the American people implority 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:04.600 and say they want to taken care of, well, we're 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.240 going to do that. Our two eighty seven g agreements 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.720 they lead the way across every state. You saw Alligator Alcatraz. 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.679 As you mentioned, deportation depot. We're out there actively working 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.360 with our highway patrol or other law enforcement because as 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.160 required for them to work with our federal assets to 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.800 keep this thing moving forward. Ultimately, you know, everything we 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.640 do keeps our people safer. And I really wish other 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.400 governors would step up and stand up for their people 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.440 and do the same thing. How much better would our 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.840 nation be if they took this opportunity with leadership by 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.920 President Trump pushed down to have the state support them. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.320 We can really make a difference and follow through on 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.040 the exact same things we said we were going to do. 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.880 That's what people want to see, and that's what leadership 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:49.440 is all about. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.600 And I know leaderships are very important issue to you. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.080 And it's weird. You know, you're a lieutenant governor now 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.800 you've been in the legislature. For a politician or a 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.720 bureaucrat a tough day, it can be like back back teams, 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.400 meetings with an ornery it department or something. But for you, you, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.920 I know, as the state senator, you went to Israel 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.920 at when the Iran Israel conflict was at its height, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.640 and you went there to try to rescue and help 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.560 get people that were over there who might have been 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.720 harm's way back home to safety. Talk about that. What 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.720 motivated you to do that and what's that like? Just 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.960 I mean, we've heard stories, but I know that was 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.080 something that was very important to you and why you 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:26.839 felt like you needed to. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.960 Do it, And Eric, thank you for that. Look, I'm 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.640 going to quote some of my liberal colleagues from California 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.400 right who serve in the legislature and other roles. I 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:42.640 don't identify as a politician. I identify as God fearing gun, 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.080 loving freedom, defending bacon eating one legged retired Green Beret. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.120 I mean, the leadership comes from the front. We put 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.760 our people first, and you got to put your money 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.120 and your butt where your mouth is. So that's what 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.280 we did. I sow it Israel because what if that 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.560 was my loved one, What if my children life, We're 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.560 trapped in the country with Iran shooting nobilistic missiles at them. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.719 I would hope and pray that our leadership stood up 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.560 and did that. And I love how the Trump team, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.040 how President Trump has pushed down emergencies to the States. 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.920 This was an emergency. He has clearly said the States 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.960 would step up and lead. And that's what we did. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.840 We partnered with them, we worked beside them, and ultimately 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.600 brought them back right here to Florida. And it wasn't 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.920 just Floridians. We brought back over twenty three hundred American 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.840 citizens that are safer got to see their families because 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.480 we took the opportunity given us to step up and 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.080 fight for our people and bring them home. How many 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:39.880 more can we have brought back if other governors would 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.160 have done the right thing and stood up for their 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:41.920 people the same way. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.520 Well, Lieutenant Governor, you were there and it was a 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.920 war zone. So I have to tell you I've never 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.320 been in a war zone. I don't want to be 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.920 in a war zone. What does a missile actually sound like? 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.120 What does it feel like to be in a situation 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.440 where missiles are being fired at the location where you 0:07:59.520 --> 0:07:59.920 happen to be. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.160 Well, I'll tell you this was kind of like an 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.000 old pair of boots. I gotta be honest when I 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.880 tell you I didn't want to run for politics or 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.880 getting involved in politics. I really meant that I'm here 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.720 because I saw no other way to solve problems. I 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.680 believe in making a difference for our people, and you 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.600 can't stand on the sideline. We are just at that 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.840 point in life and I've been shot at and I've 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.480 been shot by a couple of things. This is my 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:29.280 first time with ballistic missiles. Shared the noise they might 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.920 coming across the sky is unlike anything I had seen. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.240 Explosions are pretty amazing. We had some land within a 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.920 few hundred feet of us. There was going everywhere, you know. 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:46.079 Luckily in Israel there were bunkers and bomb shelters. We 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.200 got people in there, but the risk is very real. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.319 We were out there with a group of people just 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.679 trying to get them on the buses to drive to 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:58.040 the Georganian border, and we had a bunch of our 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.240 running missiles start hitting the ground around us. So mid 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.920 stride we had to get them in the bunker, get safe, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.839 and I'm popping up checking to see, you know, what 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.120 are we done, what's going on? Get updates and they're 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.760 still coming. The barrage was real, but you know what, 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.520 we did what we had to do. Because after it 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.920 was done, we dust it off, we collected our stuff, 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.719 we got back on mission, We got him on a bus, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.280 and we got them back to America safely with their families. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.280 Because again, that's the kind of leadership we need to 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.439 have in this country. People are tired of politicians you 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.920 say one thing and do another. I want to be, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.680 and I have been, as a leader, someone who says 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.719 what I mean. I mean what I say, and I 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.600 follow it up with actions. That's the American way. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.720 So some of your actions are, in my opinion, Lieutenant 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.240 Governor Collins, among the more interesting and important parts of 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.720 your story. And if you're just joining in, if you're 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.720 not sure, who's the voice that is that's Lieutenant Governor 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.720 Jay Collins. He's only on the job as Lieutenant governor 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.559 under Rond DeSantis for a couple of weeks, using the 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:55.800 state legislature before that. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:57.600 But your story. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.600 You are a Green Beret, You're in Afghanistan, you were 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.480 part of a firefight, and you suffered an injury that 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.120 ultimately led to the loss of your leg. And not 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.000 to focus on because you're the one said you're a 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:14.120 one legged Green Beret, but it's not like it was instantaneous. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.240 Just talk a little bit about the process that ultimately 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.880 led you to make this incredible decision you chose to 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.520 have your leg amputated, and then talk about what happened 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:24.199 to you after that. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:26.319 So I did. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.880 I had been hurt in two thousand and seven and 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.200 it was kind of a rough year. I got shot, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.720 ended up doing surgery on myself in Afghanistan. I did 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.880 a fasciotomy on my arm, saved my arm. But I 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.080 do have two arms and one leg, so I must 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.920 have done. I did. Okay, I'm pretty pretty comfortable with 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.960 that one. And then later on I got hit by 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.120 a mortar when they were trying to overrun our firebase, 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.400 and again apparently getting blown up is bad for you. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.560 Who knew, right, I didn't know what it happened, because 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.160 when you're fighting for your life, you fight for your life. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.360 If it's a no fail mission, you don't fail. Fought 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.679 and we won, and we pushed the enemy out and 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.240 didn't really realize how badly I had been hurt. You know, 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.560 I had a headache, dusted it off, got happy and healthy, 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.160 and just did what we had to do. But as 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.040 time went on, it was a very insidious breakdown of 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:21.800 my leg. Eventually I started having weird pains and my leg. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.000 I would want to go left and it wouldn't go left, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.199 it would go right, or it would not work at all, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.160 and I'd trip and fall. And you know, it was 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.120 hard to understand because I had been in a very 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.320 select group of people where my physicality was really how 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.480 I did things and how I got by. And you know, Eric, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.839 You've heard me say this many times. Man, God's plan 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.840 is so much bigger than our plan. All I wanted 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.040 to do was be a Green Beret, or fight amongst 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.160 the very select people to tip of the speirarit doing 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.600 things for our country nobody knew about. But that wasn't 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.520 God's plan. I got injured and I had to learn 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.320 to use other skills and accept help and get up 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.120 in a new way. And that's what I had to do. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.520 So over the next six and a half years or so, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.040 I went through a slow manifestation of my leg dying. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:13.199 I went through multiple surgeries and multiple exams and a 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.920 lot of misdiagnosis before they figured out what was going on. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.800 And in twenty fourteen they cut my leg off and 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:23.040 about a year about a year later, I requalified as 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.040 a Green Beret. I was found fully fit for duty, 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.080 and I had to earn my place back in our 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.240 tribe because in that regiment, and as a Green Beret, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.800 there's only one standard. And I got to say, I 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.599 am so grateful for the people who gave me the 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.079 opportunity to prove myself because I didn't want it given. 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.679 I had to earn it, and anything of value you 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.440 have to earn. And again, so grateful that people gave 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.920 me the chance to do that, because again there's some 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.520 culpability with me as well. I should have taken a 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.480 knee and I should have faced out. I should have 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.320 realized that when things hurt and they didn't work, maybe 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.520 I should quit. But when you reach a pinnacle of 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:03.079 an organization like these, the last thing you want to 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.520 do is leave. And not five besides your brother, not 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.480 five beside the people who you would give your life for. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.559 In an instant and Adam. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:15.120 Well, Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, it's great to have you on. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.319 We've got thirty seconds left. I want to ask you, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.360 are you going to run for governor of the State 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:19.840 of Florida. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.120 Well, I'll tell you what I think. We're going on 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.080 two weeks now. That's a great question. I am trying 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.120 to be the best lieutenant governor I can be for 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:32.280 the goat for America's Governor Ron DeSantis, finally getting my 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.360 foot weg the other one too, and trying to make 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.520 a difference. We'll continue to assess, but in the end, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.360 I'm really hyper focused on my job as lieutenant governor 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:40.720 right now. 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.400 Well, as we said, a true badass for Lieutenant governor 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.680 of the State of Florida. Jay Collins, thanks for joining us. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.559 We appreciate you in the audience listening as well. We 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.959 will be back in a minute. We've got more guests, 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.719 We've got more conversation. The next hour we're going to 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.480 have at the bottom of that hour in NFL, so 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:01.880 please stay tuned. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.360 Welcome back to the Sean Handy Show. Peter Schweizer, Eric 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.560 Eggers back in for Seawan. We're having a very important 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.439 conversation about law and order. And you just heard from 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.560 Lieutenant Governor Florida J. Collins, you know, who has served 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.720 in the military, and they have deputized some of their 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.040 own state law enforcement officials to be the boots on 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.320 the ground for the federal level of ice enforcement. But 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.280 another thing that Florida is doing is they are attracting 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.960 law enforcement officials from around the country. We talked about 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.120 one of New York's having a big cop shortage right 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.800 down it's about to get worse. Thirty seven hundred troops 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.400 become eligible for their twenty year pension I think this year, 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.360 and a lot of those people are leaving cities where 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.560 they feel like the leadership is hospible law enforcement and 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.160 going to places like Florida where that leadership is much 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.560 more pro A police officer. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:50.880 Yeah, so what do you think out there? Do you 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.920 think we need more cops on the street. Do you 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.040 feel like America's cities are safe? Join the conversation one 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.280 eight hundred ninety four one seven three two six ninety 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.840 four to one. SHO, we'd love to hear your opinions 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.880 and thoughts on that. Seems like a lot of the 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.400 elites are saying crimes aren't an issue, carjackings aren't a problem, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.120 just accept it and live with it. I'm wondering if 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.440 that's your experience out there in the audience, or if 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.800 you have a different perspective on crime. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.680 It was interesting to hear Harmey Dillon with the Attorney 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.480 General's Office say that it's because those liberal elites tend 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.920 to live in places where crime is not much of 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.120 an issue. It's kind of one of those bonfire the vanities. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.840 To use a reference from some literary and cinematic by 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.960 the way, pretty good, but I do think that, you know, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.520 she sounds like they're not super eager, at least in 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.840 the Attorney General's Office to make the people like JB. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.960 Pritzker or Brandon Johnson Chicago, or the mayor of Baltimore 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:48.160 take the troops from the federal level take accept military 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.880 assistance even though it's obviously having a profound and beneficial 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.040 impact in Washington, DC. Two weeks without a murder. All 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.040 the major crime statistics are down across the board. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.120 Yeah, I just don't understand the notion. I mean, we 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.240 hear this all the time, and I tend to agree 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.880 with it. When when a child dies, you know, they 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.920 say one death is too much, When a homeless person dies, 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.280 one person is too much. But when it comes to crime, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:14.840 innocent people getting carjacked, getting killed, it's not so bad, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.040 it's acceptable. It's just weird to me, this blind spot 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.480 that they have for crime. Maybe I'm the one out 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.240 of touch. Maybe people out there in America aren't concerned 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.560 about it, but I think we should be. And I 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.080 think the numbers, they oftentimes lie about the numbers, they 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.400 manipulate the numbers, And I think the perception that people 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.520 have is correct, which is that's a serious problem. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.080 Well, if Donald Trump can do for America's crime what 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:39.880 he did for the Cracker Broll logo, we'll all be 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.960 a lot safer at night. We'll continue that conversation. He's 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.720 Peter Schwizer, I'm Eric Eggers. This is the Sean Handy Show. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:46.360 Give us a call. 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:47.960 We'll talk to you next one hundred and nine for 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.360 one Sean one eight hundred and nine for one seven, three, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:56.120 two six, exposing government waste and abuse of your liberties 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:57.280 every day. 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:03.040 Sean Hannity is on right now, Hey as Peter Schweizer, 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.119 That is Eric Eggers. We are filling in for Shawn. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.280 Join the conversation. One eight hundred ninety four one seven, three, 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:13.680 two six, nine four one Sean. Very busy news day. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.720 We have the tragedy in Minnesota, the shooting that's taking 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.080 place there. We have the controversy over a crime and 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.800 the deployment of the National Guard. Just saw that Vladimir 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.920 Putin is now threatening to march on Paris. I don't 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.720 know how that is going to go, but we want 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.879 to hear what you think about the crime problem in America. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.399 And coming up in the next hour, we have a 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:40.240 couple of really terrific guests, so you'll want to stay tuned. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.760 Josh Cherard is going to join us. He's the director 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.040 of law enforcement for Berna, but we're going to have 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.720 him on because he's a former law enforcement officer, He's 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.240 been at the scene of shootings. We're going to go 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:54.159 greater and into depth what actually happened in Minneapolis and 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.040 how they might be prevented and then at five point thirty, 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.240 we have an NFL legend. I remember watching this guy 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.760 when I was young in the eighties and high school 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:07.440 and college. Mike Singletary of du Bears of Chicago Hall 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.600 of Fame linebacker. He is going to give us, I think, 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.240 an encouraging note about character, value and hard work and 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.680 the importance of all of those to the future of 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.080 our country. Something inspiring as we get ready for labor deck. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.360 Yeah, well it's football season too, right, So if you're 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.560 getting sad and a little frustrated here, as often people 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.159 do when you listen to programs like this, it can 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.160 be easy to become discouraged. And so I know Mike 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.800 Singletary has a book out about that. He's meant to 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.520 inspire every generation, give people something to kind of aspire 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.240 to the vision that their life is meant to be. 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.440 It's a really cool thing. He's got some cool stories 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.359 about that. He's also newly with the Baylor radio program. 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:45.920 So maybe we'll get a little bit of a college 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.920 football because college football starts tonight. I know, we were joking. 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.200 In the last segment of every show, Sean normally talks 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.120 about what he's going to do on his television show 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.359 that night. Yeah, fun fact about Peter Schwarz and me. 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.320 We don't have TV shows, so we're like, what should 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.639 we talk about in the last segment? For me, it's football. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.760 For me, it's football. You got Florida State play in 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.520 Alabama this weekend. We finally get revenge being snubbed in 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.480 the playoff couple of years ago. But no, but we 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.280 do want to talk to you, so give us a call. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.439 It one eight hundred and nine four one sean one 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.359 eight hundred and nine one seven three two six. And 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.960 we have someone who's called in about the law enforcement. 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.440 We have Patty from Florida, the Great Free State of Florida. Patty, 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:25.240 what do you think is going on with law enforcement 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:26.480 around these cities around the country. 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.639 I think in general, we've had some bad actors and 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.760 they get a lot of publicity. I think there has 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.920 been a decline in the respect and appreciation for what 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.040 law enforcement provides us day in and day out. Three 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:45.480 sixty five And I remember when I was a little girl, 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.800
