WEBVTT - ICE Under Fire: When Rhetoric Meets Reality 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:01.400 Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right 0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:04.360 down a toll free telephone number you want to be 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:06.040 a part of the program as eight hundred and nine 0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:07.840 to four one Sean if you want to join us, 0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:10.879 we'll check in with all things simple man, Bill O Riley. 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:15.320 Nancy Grace. I don't know if you know the story, Linda, 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:20.240 do you know how Nancy Grace became like the premiere 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:25.360 crime person in the country is down actually heart oh, 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.080 one of the most heart wrenching stories of all time, 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.000 I mean, and what she went through in a personal 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:35.320 life and how it you know, out of out of darkness, 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.720 I mean real darkness. She lost to somebody she was 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:44.760 engaged to that was murdered, and I'll ask her about 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.879 it if she wants to talk about it. But and 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.960 then she's so good on the issue of crime. It's 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.560 like scary good. If you think of like the best 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.880 detectives in the country, she's right up there with them, 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.240 and she's analyzing every every single possible angle as it 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:06.000 relates to Savannah Guthrie's mom. I mean, you know, we 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.200 have new details. It's scary. We have the ransom though 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.720 we mentioned that went to TMZ, It went to a 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:17.480 local LA TV station as well. There is a request 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.840 for a ransom to be paid for in bitcoin. The 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.920 evidence seems to be mounting. Pima County sheriff doesn't know 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.600 where she is. They're looking for her. They believe she 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.640 was taken from her home against her will. We don't 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.400 know if multiple people were involved. That's that's what they're 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.640 saying now publicly. I'm sure they know more than they're 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.720 saying publicly, which would be standard operating procedure. Last scene 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.160 around nine thirty pm Saturday night, when Savannah's sister dropped 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.680 her at home and was reported missing on Sunday morning 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:52.560 after she failed to arrive at church. The problem, as 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:57.440 time goes on is she is on a lot of medication. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.280 She has a pacemaker that was in sync with her 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.360 Apple Watch and is no longer in sync with her 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.960 Apple Watch. But a nine to one one call when 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.079 Nancy was first reported missing urgently noted she had high 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.400 blood pressure, a pacemaker, and cardiac issues. And now you know, 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.079 I mean, what does it appear to me? It appears 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.840 to be a ransom of some kind. I mean famous people, 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.440 wealthy people. If you look at countries like Mexico, I 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.119 mean over the years, if you had money in Mexico, 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.080 you needed like an army outside of your house because 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.200 they would target family members of wealthy people for ransom 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.040 and you either paid or you lost your loved one. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.480 And that's what it came down to Latin America, many 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.440 of those countries. I mean, the lawlessness I mean is wild. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.000 I knew, for example, somebody that came from El Salvador legally, 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.919 and this person would tell me stories how all the time, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:58.480 I mean, these gangs and cartel members they ruled entire 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.960 towns and cities and and everybody had to pay and 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.840 either you paid or you died. And it was I mean, 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.640 it's I know it's not common to us, but it 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.920 does highlight a lot of things for me. And I 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:19.080 think it really brings the reality of prime home to 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:20.880 all of us. And I think there's a lot of 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.160 lessons we can learn that are applicable to you know, 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.680 headlines that we're talking about every day, especially as it 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:32.480 relates to illegal immigration and the people. You know, the disaster, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.320 the most preventable national security disaster in our nation's history. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.280 Because I and I mean this with all my heart, 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.160 I'm I want Savannah Guthrie. I'd met her only on 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:48.600 one occasion. Couldn't have been nicer. He apparently he is 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:53.200 a very devout religious person and doesn't mean she's perfect. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.240 When you say, well, these Christians think that they're the 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:01.000 No Christians think that they Christians have been mumbled, know 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:05.640 that they have failed in life, and ask God for forgiveness, repentance, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.520 to change their heart so they can be better people 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.600 with the help of God. That's simply what Christianity is, 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.320 and other people try and distort it and all of 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.840 their self righteous and whatever. I mean, maybe there are 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.280 some of those people. I have no idea, but I 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.600 really sincerely wish and hope and pray that they find 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.960 her mother. And this kind of does dovetail. It's separate, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.400 it's a part. I'm not trying to politicize the issue 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.520 in any way, but it does, you know, one issue 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.760 can kind of highlight the issue of crime in general. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.800 And this is what frustrates me is that, you know, 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.800 we've laid out the statistics on this programming on TV 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.960 how many people in the month of January have been shot, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.800 how many people have been shot and killed in Chicago, 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.000 and how many names do you know because I think 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.040 every life matters. Every human being has their own unique fingerprint. 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.520 You know, the Bible will tell you the very hairs 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.440 of your head are counted. And the word education comes 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.359 from the Latin derivative aducode to bring forth from within, 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:17.119 which is predicated on a notion of belief that God 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.120 puts talent in every human soul. And I believe that 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.160 with all my heart and soul. And that's why when 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:29.159 we don't pay attention and we get numb to the idea, oh, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.480 how many people were shot in Chicago this week How 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.719 many people were shot and killed in Chicago this weekend. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.800 It is frustrating to me because this is something that 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.599 I've been highlighting both on radio and TV for over 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.680 two decades. When Barack Obama became president, we started scrolling 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.719 names that Americans never heard of of people shot shot 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.160 and killed in Chicago, this was his home city, and 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.719 we went back and looked I think it was two 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.680 or three I don't remember exactly. In eight years as president, 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.400 only two or three times did he ever mentioned what 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.360 was going on in his home city and state. And 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.640 how is it you have mayor after mayor, governor after governor, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.640 and they don't lift a finger to resolve the issue 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:18.600 of lawlessness and murder and shootings that are taking place 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.880 every week every weekend in Chicago, and the same in 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.080 New York City, and the same in Los Angeles, and 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.120 the same. You know, this tends to be more prominent 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.679 in blue cities and blue states, and they keep electing 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:34.080 these same democrats that don't put the lives and security 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:38.520 of people first and foremost, and then at dovetails into 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.919 what we've all been discussing. Out of Minneapolis. I have 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:47.240 scrolled the names of the worst of the worst criminals, murderers, rapists, 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:52.960 kyle molesters, drug dealers, other violent criminals that have been 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:58.120 arrested by Ice because these agents have been so willing 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.080 to put their ass on the line to protect the 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:07.120 people in Minnesota, Minneapolis in particular, Saint Paul in particular. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.560 And they do that, and the thanks they get is 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.720 a rush to judgment into We're talking really about two 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.240 specific cases here, and the thanks they get is being 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.600 called Nazi and Gestapo. The thanks they get are organized, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.920 well funded groups that are stalking them and following them 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.520 and creating as much turmoil as possible around them, preventing 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.840 them from doing their job and making their jobs not 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.120 only more difficult, but more dangerous because they take away 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.600 the element of surprise. And the left in this country 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.280 now has adopted the mantle of defunding ICE. In two 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.240 weeks from now, we're going to have a battle over 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.040 whether or not we're going to fund the Department of 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:52.000 Homeland Security. Now, if liberals want to die on that hill, 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.040 I guess I'm okay with it. Linda, Does that not 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:55.760 sound nuts? 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.239 Yeah, it's insane, But they're liberals. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.640 What else do you expect, oh, the liberals? What you 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.880 mean I should expect more from liberals. Let me tell 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.080 you what defunding the Department of Homeland Security would mean. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.280 That would be no pay for TSA agents. Let me 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.600 interpret that for you. That means that the airlines will 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.040 have to shut down. That'll mean no money going to FEMA. 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.840 That means emergency management money will not be available. That 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.640 will mean no money for the Cybersecurity Agency. That means 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.320 that makes Americans less safe and secure. That means no 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:38.959 pay for DHS agents running security major events. That means 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.640 funding will be cut to our own Coastguard. That means 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.600 funding will be cut to the Secret Service, which Donald 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.520 Trump will never allow to happen, allowed to have happened. 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.840 That's what their reckless rhetoric is going to lead to, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.240 and that's where they want to take this. And again, 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:01.000 it's separate, it's a part. I think it's the right 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.760 thing to be very blunt with you. I don't know 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.240 why some cases become more prominent than the others. In 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.160 the case of Savannah Guthrie, I'm glad that this case 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.160 is getting the national attention that it frankly deserves. I'd 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.960 love to see Savannah reunited with her mother. I don't 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.800 want this poor woman going much longer without her medication 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.160 and without the help and support. I hope the police 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:29.520 are closer to finding the people or person responsible and 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.920 that this can get resolved. But I also hope that 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.000 every American in every town and every city in this 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.080 country is safe and secure in their homes. And the 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.680 reality is evil does exist. I tell people all the time, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.400 have a personal safety security plan. I'm not saying it 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.959 for my health. I'm saying it because it is real. 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.720 I don't like what I'm reading. But this is where 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.400 Nancy Grace is so brilliant. I mean, she's analyzing, Okay, well, 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.840 there's blood founded the scene. It looks like it drops 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.000 of blood. It's not a lot of blood that tells 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:02.840 her a lot that tells her that this was not, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.320 you know, somebody being stabbed to death. And if somebody 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.360 really wanted to kill Slavannah Guthrie's mom, why would they 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:10.920 not just kill them right in the house and then 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:18.000 walk out. So the ransom argument seems very you know, 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.760 it seems viable to me. But you know, I don't 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.640 want to be you know, in spectracleus oh here. I 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.839 just hope that we get the right result in all 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.680 of this. But if you look at where we are 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.199 in the country and the things that we're debating currently 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.920 in the country, it is mind numbing to me. It 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.120 really is. It's sad to me because I don't think 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.720 that we should be debating issues involving all of these 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.600 unvetted illegals. And I want to say something in this 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.120 If you look at the four years of coverage we 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.199 have had on this radio program and the four years 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.319 of coverage we've had on TV, and all the videos 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.320 we've shown people, and you see what we believe to 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.840 be estimate to be around twelve million plus unvetted Harris Biden, 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.360 mayorc as illegals and among them again from over two 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:16.800 hundred countries, and among them known terrorists, murderers, rapists, child molesters, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:22.960 other violent criminals, gang members, cartel members, drug dealers. And 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.840 now the Trump administration inherits this they've got to clean 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.760 up this Adam Schiff show. They've got to clean up 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.160 this mess. And if you just think for a second 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.280 and you just ponder for a second the magnitude of 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.920 that job to track down and find all of these people. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.600 And in the interim you have all of these instances 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.880 where you have sanctuary cities and states that not only 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.640 protect illegal immigrants. This is what democrats are fighting for. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.280 You know, here they are in custody for committing crimes 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.960 in our country and they're protected by the government. I mean, 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.360 this is why I think Lindsey Graham's bill, although you 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:08.360 would think that the laws are applicable already, you know, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:13.839 just codifying into law absolutely no benefits, and it make 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.200 it illegal in a crime in and of itself to 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.839 be a sanctuary city or state because you know, look 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.800 at for example, in Minneapolis or Minnesota, they have thirteen 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.920 one hundred and sixty known criminals in their justice system today, 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.280 and Tom Homan is just saying, will you please hand 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.320 them over, Please hand them over, so that we can, 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.439 you know, take care of this issue and we can 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.520 get rid of these people and make the people in 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.040 our state and our city more safe and more secure. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.880 That would be basic. But all they've gotten is opposition 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.360 and more opposition and more opposition, and then they take 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.480 it another step further. Not only do you have these 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:01.720 well funded organized groups that are harassing ICE agents and 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.200 obstructing in their work, but now they want to take 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.400 you know, Democrats in Washington. You know, these people are 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.480 being docks. We've gone over the percentage of people, you know, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.800 eight tho percent threat increase, you know, over thirteen hundred 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:20.640 percent increase in vehicular attacks against ICE agents, you know, 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:25.160 assaults against Ice agents of whopping, you know, thirteen hundred percent. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.240 And then you get the insightful rhetoric of people like 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:34.120 tampon Tim and people like JB. Pritzker, and people like 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.680 Mayor small Fry and people like you know, full time 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:47.000 tweety bird, podcaster, author Zero Show, governor trump stalker Gavin Newsom. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.240 Gavin Newsom can't even balance his budget. Why because he 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:54.160 spends all the money on benefits for illegal immigrants in 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.600 the sanctuary state of California. And this guy wants to 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:02.560 be president. Okay, Pritzker wants to be president. Any of 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.679 these people want to be president, God help us? Why 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.160 because they think, oh, over time. And Chuck Schumer said this, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.520 and we played it last night, you know, Chuck Schumer said, well, 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.800 you know, our goal is to make all these illegals legal. Oh, 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.800 you give something of great value, what do you expect 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.920 in return? American citizenship? Great value? Maybe, Well, if we 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.800 give that to you, we expect you're going to support 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.400 our party for the rest of your life. Right now, 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.360 because they've been so successful in Minneapolis, and again we've 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.440 been giving you the names on radio, scrolling them on TV, 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.760 the worst of the worst criminals that have been arrested 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.520 because of brave Vice agents. Tom Homan did announce that 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.840 there is a draw down of several hundred federal agents 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:55.200 from Minnesota after the administration secured unprecedented cooperation. This is 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.520 all that they wanted from the get go. They created 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:04.920 this FI for political purposes, and unfortunately they did so 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.720 with the wrong president. Had they just agreed to cooperate. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.760 You know, Holman said, I had a productive this. I 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.080 had productive discussions with state and local officials, including the governor, 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.440 the attorney general, mayor of French Fry, and law enforcement 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.080 officials about increasing coordination in a lawful way between county 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.640 jails and ICE to avoid public safety threats being released 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.680 back into the community. We currently have an unprecedented number 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.680 of counties communicating with US, allowing ICE to take custody 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:39.520 of illegals before they hit the streets. All right, so 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:44.920 Tom Holman finally got cooperation, an unprecedented, unprecedented number of 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.440 counties communicating with them, allowing ICE to take custody of 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.440 illegals before they hit the streets. And he said, given 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:56.000 this increase in unprecedented collaboration, I have announced, effective immediately, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.320 they're going to draw down seven hundred law enforcement personnel 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.480 effective to time. They wouldn't have been necessary if they 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.720 just would cooperate in the beginning. And this is a 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.280 word to the wise, to Gavin Newsom and the people 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.480 in New York State that are so hostile towards ICE. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.840 You know, why don't you cooperate now and get these 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.800 criminals that are in your that that are being detained 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.240 by you and transfer them to ICE so that they 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.560 can deport them. I mean, what part of that is complicated? 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:32.760 Keeping your citizens safe and secure, restoring law and order. Anyway, 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.280 Holman said, the President fully intends to achieve mass deportation 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.320 during the administration, immigration enforcement actions will continue every day 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.840 throughout the country, and he said that smart law enforcement 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:49.080 is the administration's goal, not less law enforcement. I'll give 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.120 you an example. Ice. ICE issued a detainer to prevent 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:58.640 a California to prevent California from releasing a Mexican illegal 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.760 accused of raping a fourteen year old autistic girl. Is 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:07.000 this in the post millennial? Department of Homeland Security said, 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:13.480 and Mexican national Enrique Bautista Vasquez has been arrested in 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.720 Cathedral City, California, for allegedly sexually assaulting a fourteen year 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.240 old autistic girl. This should be a no brainer. It 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:26.240 shouldn't be complicated. Federal prosecutors say foreign nationals in Chicago 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:31.200 were running a one billion dollar medicare scam even in Somali. 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.840 Link fraud cases in Minnesota dominate the headlines. This prosecution 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:40.399 suggests the scope of medicaid. I'm sorry, Medicare fraud is 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.320 far broader, and wait till we get to California. I mean, 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:49.320 federal prosecutors in Chicago say foreign nationals exploited Medicare and 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.400 supplemental insurance systems on a massive scale, filing more than 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:57.520 one billion dollars in fraudulent claims for medical equipment, diagnostic 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.200 tests that were never delivered, in some case never authorized 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.320 by either a patient or a doctor. They're robbing from 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:09.080 the American people. Democrats Now, they wouldn't fund ICE in 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.520 this deal that they made, and they gave a two 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.359 week cr which means they're perfectly okay with what. No 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.359 pay for TSA agents, They're not going to show up 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.919 to work. You know that means good luck flying. No 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.280 money going to FEMA. God help us if we have 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:28.400 a national disaster. No money for the Cybersecurity Agency, because 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.720 that's all under the headline of DHS. You know, No 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:36.320 pay for DHS agents running security at major events. Cut 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.600 the funding to the Coast Guard, cut funding to the 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:44.359 Secret Service. These are not options that are available here. Linda, 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.280 did you get this guy? You sent me a letter 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:51.399 from this guy. Veteran City Hall Chicago reporter by the 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:52.600 name of William Kelly. 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:54.560 Yeah, we have it. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:19:00.439 Okay, So apparently he asked Mayor Brandon Johnson Mike question 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.480 is that I'm a veteran City Hall reporter in Chicago. 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.720 I pose Sean Hannity's question about Chicago's murder rate to 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:12.480 Mayor Brandon Johnson yesterday, given his exclusive fixation on ice 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.480 activities in Minnesota and how he has failed to voice 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:21.040 any concern over murdered people in Chicago for years. His response, Well, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:22.560 let's play in Chicago. 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.119 Since the first of the year. There have been forty 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.760 plus people murdered in Chicago since the first of the year. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:34.360 Would what would you say to the people, the families 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:38.880 of the victims of these of these shootings and murders, 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.080 why they want to know why you're focused on on 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.400 federal agents who are trying to clean up their neighborhoods 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:51.520 and make their neighborhoods safe, their streets safe. Why why 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:56.399 are you worried about you know, so myopically focused on 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:03.320 the you know, the shooting death of a citizen in Minnesota, 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.600 when you don't seem to care at all about the 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.200 shooting markers. Thank if real Chicago people. 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.520 Yeah, well, look, you know I'm multitasking. That's what the 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.480 people of Chicago want me to do. We can do 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:21.199 both at the same time. You're not doing both at 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.920 the same time. You're failing miserably like every other mayor 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:29.480 before you and every governor before you, including your current governor, 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.680 Jab Pritzker, who wants to be president. Afghan national accused 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.800 in DC A National Guard shooting pleads guilty. Prosecutors there 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:44.080 may seek the death penalty. I re arrested two Venezuelan 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:49.080 men after a federal judge release these nationals accused of 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.879 assaulting immigrations agents. Why don't we ever hear about all 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:57.040 the assaults on immigration officials? A judge, you blocked Trump's 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.000 Haitian deportations. Oh, look at this in the New York 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.120 Post today. Federal judge that blocked the Trump administration from 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.560 deporting three hundred and fifty thousand hations donated more than 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.760 thirty eight grand to Democratic Party campaigns. Wow, how nice 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.359 of this person, this judge. I keep saying, you know, 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.080 a lot of times, justice in this country has nothing 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.040 to do with the rule of law. Is everything to 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.800 do with whether or not you have a judicial activist 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:27.720 on the bench. And remember that's part of the Democrats strategy. 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:29.760 What they can't get done at the ballot box, what 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:33.880 they can't get done legislatively, they try to use activists justices. 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:38.959 For New York's sun, local police departments in sanctuary cities 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:43.560 are now rebelling against Democratic mayors and governors and their 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.919 anti ICE orders. Now that sounds like law enforcement as 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:49.800 I know it. In other words, they're being told don't 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:54.359 help ICE agents. Okay, that goes against the grain of 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:58.119 every law enforcement officer. I know. It's in their DNA. 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:02.199 If an officer is inati of assistance, you help protect 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.600 your fellow law enforcement officers. Period, end of sentence, no 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:10.400 questions asked. That's the way it works. We'll get back 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:12.199 to this issue. We'll check in with Bill O'Reilly and 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.199 also Nancy Grayson the next hour. I want to tell 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:20.760 you about a a Harvard poll that came out a 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:25.680 Harvard Harris poll one year into the Trump administration, a 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.000 rising share of voters now saying the economy is on 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.840 the right track, and more say their household finances are improving. 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:34.960 I've told you this is going to happen. It's just 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:39.160 the beginning. I was watching some pundit like two weeks 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.959 ago saying manufacturing is terrible. Okay, well, we do have 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.240 some new numbers that came in for January. One economic 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:49.520 indicator that seemed to have trouble bouncing back after four 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:53.119 years of Biden's implation nightmare and of course President Trump 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:57.840 now you know, putting on steroids and human growth hormone, 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:03.680 with one hundred percent depreciation in year one, manufacturing for pharmaceuticals, 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.800 for semiconductor chips, for automobiles, for rare earths, et cetera. 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:13.080 But one economic indicator has to do in manufacturing, and 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:17.240 economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in January for 0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:20.880 the first time in twelve months, preceded by twenty six 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:24.160 straight months of contraction. Not only did it go up, 0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:29.480 it registered fifty two point six percent in January, a 0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:33.960 massive increase from the month before to the seasonally adjusted 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:38.159 you know, reading from last December. But what that means 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:41.719 is all of this money, the trillions and committed moneies 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.879 are now getting into and being infused into the economy, 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.879 and that will directly impact the ability of Americans to 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:54.560 get high paying career jobs and get America's economy growing. 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.199 That's why the Atlanta Fed is smart. A lot of 0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.919 people rely on them. Five point four percent growth for 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.120 the fourth quarter. I can't wait till the second third 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:07.280 quarter of this year leading into the midterms. That's why 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.920 you can't rush the judgment on the midterms. Speaking of which, 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:13.399 I don't know if you saw this, Linda Pole shows 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:17.800 Jasmine Crockett now leads the Texas Democrats Senate primary. I'm 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:23.480 very happy for her. He's running against this guy, tell 0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:27.520 A Rico, well liked among Texas Democrats. O. Crockett is 0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:30.800 well known. Crockett now viewed favorably by sixty nine percent 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:35.479 of Democrats and only unfavorably by eight percent. Want I 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:37.680 want her to get the nomination. I'm voting for her. 0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:41.080 What do you think, really? I am surprised to hear that. 0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.479 Why do you want her to win? I want her 0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:47.600 to win the nomination? Hey, close, attention up copy got it? 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:49.560 Why do you want her? Why do you want her 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:51.040 to win the nomination? You think you're going to get 0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:54.440 her butt kicked? How many master's degrees do you have? 0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:58.040 I'm just asking a question. I'm making a conversation. This 0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:58.800 is a talk show. 0:24:58.840 --> 0:24:59.040 Are mean? 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:02.320 Am I not to talk to you. You can talk 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.080
