  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Let's go to Stuart in
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark her are you you know? I just want
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to clarify one thing. Many of these Border Patrol agents
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and ICE agents, as I mentioned to you once before,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that many of these are hardened veteran cops. My son
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: just got a tententive offer from Border Patrol this morning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Stuart, you're a longtime policeman, law enforcement guy.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Almost fifty years.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my son. Between my son and myself we have
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: over sixty years. He worked inner city, has been a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: fatal shooting. He knows, you know, what's going on in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: inner cities. And a lot of these Border Patrol agents
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: are a lot like him. They are hiring from hardened
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: veteran police officers. So it's not like, you know, they've
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: been in boarder patrol of their entire lives and don't
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: know how to deal with But Stuart.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you a question. The shooting.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I can understand how that happens. The guy shouldn't have
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: been there with I just I'm looking at that shooting.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: It doesn't look justified to me.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You know, my son and I had a conversation about
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this this morning, and I wasn't there. So my response
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is tentative. I would tend to agree with you. You know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the guy what had gotten a broken rib a week
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: before fighting police, so you know, you know what his
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: mindset was, and I wasn't there. You know, you can
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: look at the videos, you can have an opinion, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I just wasn't there. And as a police officer, I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: have to have all the facts, and I just don't
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: have them.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, but the rene good one. I've talked to like
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: some of our smartest police officials, and they've all said,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: off the record, it's a totally leag justified shooting. But
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: he didn't have to shoot. He could have, yeah, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: could blocks away and then get her.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But you know, when it comes to the actual shooting
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in the facts, that's one thing, But you have to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: also remember these guys are under assault every single day.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'm a Vietnam vet, and I'm going to tell you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: every single day when you're under fire. It really gets
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to you mentally. Yeah, it really doesn't. And these guys
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: every single day, Mark are under fire.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah he doesn't, he's not there to shoot somebody. But
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you can get into a kind of a panic no
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: matter what in those situations.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a panic, it's just you know, you're
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: just tired. I mean, you're just so tired every day.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And like you said, the Minneapolis police have been called back.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: They're being held back. It's not that the the street officers,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you know, don't want to help. They do, but the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: administration has been so bastardized by the politicians that they
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: just don't they're not doing anything. And that's that's creating
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of this problem because you have that secondary
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: backup to protect the ice agent's and border patrol, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it's just not there.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people believe the police were deliberately
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: held back with the strategy. Well, no, with strategy, with
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: strategy knowing that it would cause this kind of chaos.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: All right, Stuart, great call, thanks for calling. Let's go
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to uh Shana in Long Island. Shana, how you doing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. I have a question about this Ashley
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Babbit shooting. Yes, the Trump administration has been in office
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: now a year. Why aren't they prosecuting Michael Bird. They
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: have proof that he shot her without cause.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Uh well, I know they're looking at it, and people
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: have talked to him about it. But this Michael Bird
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: was the cop who, for no reason it all, shot
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Ashley Babbitt. She wasn't confronting him. She was fifteen twenty
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: feet away. He just shot her as she was coming
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: through the window. He's a bad cop. He's got a
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: history of using his gun recklessly. There was an earlier
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: incident where in his house he was just firing out
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the window at cars. He's got a bad history. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: know they're looking at him and everybody's getting impatient, but
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's a good question. It's just not front
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: burner stuff. I think that's the problem. Let's go to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: How are you doing? Mark?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I just got a question here about what is your
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: excuse for Errol Lewis on New York One.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: He's a pain in the.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Eron Lewis on New York One, he's the most left
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: wing biased partisan. He's a very nice guy in real life.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I used to work with him. He's a very nice guy.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: But a lot of that's a lot of these people.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: They're very nice people. They go on the air and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: they become crazy left wing.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I talk to him in the pad, but you know.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, what are you gonna do. He's a crazy left
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: wing guy. He's very partisan. I mean, you should try
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to get it under control on the air, but he doesn't.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Him all over the place.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I remember it's he's.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Coming down from Mount ever mount air raft.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what he believes. He's a nice guy, is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a little crazy politically, and he's very very left wing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But that's New York One nowadays. They went really far
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to the left as soon as Trump came in. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: used to work at New York One. But when they
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: went when Trump came in, they decided to go real
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: far to the left. It hasn't paid off. Viewership is
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: way way down there. Let's go to Jerry in Greenwich. Jerry,
• 5:20

  Speaker 4: Just all these demo grays, whether they're a politician or
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: regular people that they hit America, they started saying that
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: they're sorry that they're voted for Trump. I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: You know, they want to start the new lying.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yep, do we lose Jerry?
• 5:46
