• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York Still Mark Simonne
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Show on seven to ten.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Woo Hey, we'll get to Minnesota. We'll get to Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get to CBS. We'll get to the Hilton, We'll
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: get to Milania. We'll get to the Mayor. We've got
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: a lot to talk about today. What the hell? This
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: is ridiculous, this weather. We you know, we've had big
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: snowstorms before, in fact, much bigger than this one. But
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: in every case, the day or two after the snowstorm,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: it gets over freezing, over thirty two degrees and it
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: starts melting. We've never had this happen before, where you
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: get the snowstorm and then it stays in the teens
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: for the whole week, and the snow just doesn't go away.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So it's just miserable outside. It's hard to stay outside
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: very long. You don't even have to go to Jimmy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Get all your exercise jumping over snowbanks and puddles and slush,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and it's gonna be a while before you can go
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: back to regular shoes. You got to wear your snow shoes,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: your snow boots, your ugly shoes. It's just a mess
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: out there. The mayor is calling it code blue. That's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the new term. Eleven people have died already outside. They
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: found dead people outside who are out in the streets
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and just died in the cold weather. And it's cold blue.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: That's what the city remains in Cold blue, which means
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: that we are intensifying outreach, that we are conducting round
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the clock checks and have loosened traditional shelter intake procedures
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to accommodate as many New Yorkers as possible.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: You gotta admit he's very good at those press conferences.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: He sounds very authoritative when he talks. He may not
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: know what he's doing, but he sounds good. But it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: been a horrible situation. People have died outside.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: But at least ten New Yorkers have tragically lost their
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: lives after being found outdoors. We don't yet know whether
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: every case will be ruled hypothermia, but we need every
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: New Yorker to be on alert, looking out for their neighbors.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it actually hit eleven after that statement.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: We are mobilizing every resource at our disposal to ensure
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: that New Yorkers are brought indoors during this potentially lethal
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: weather event.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Well, so Minnesota. The Trump administration trying to reset things
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a little course correction. The border patrol has been pulled out,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: not just the leader of the border patrol, but the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: entire border patrol. Because they're a border patrol. They operate
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: on the border with no population around them. To suddenly
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: be operating in a city, he's a whole different thing
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: for a border patrol. And to be operating in a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: city where the police have been ordered to go away
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and let the protesters go at the border patrol. This
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: is the key to this whole situation. The shooting of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the nurse pretty if you look at it from what
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: we know so far, doesn't look justified. It doesn't look
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: like a good shooting. I mean it's I'm sure it's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: legal because in that kind of mayhem struggle guy resisting,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: they're probably covered legally. But it doesn't look like a
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: good shooting. It doesn't look like it was necessary. But again,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: border patrol not used to being in a city, not
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: used to working in crowds. They work all alone on
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a border, and they're certainly not used to being physically
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: confronted by a mob of protesters. They're not used to it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They're untrained for that, they're inexperience with that. So the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: real key to all of this. You can argue about
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the officers shooting all of that stuff, but the real
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: key to this is the mayor and the governor's decision
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to remove all police from the scene, which created the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: total chaos. No, We've had many times where there's massive
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: protests going on, but the protesters are under control because
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the police are there setting up barricades, keeping the crowd
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: on that side of the street, and the protesters are
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: certainly allowed to yell all kinds of things and wave
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: their signs and yell and scream. That's a protest. What
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: happened in Minnesota is those are not protesters. Pretty was
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: not a protester. Protester is a guy with a sign,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: yelling and protesting. But when you physically get involved, you
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: try to interfere with a law enforcement operation, you try
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to actually stop the law enforcement operation, interfere with law
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: enforcement and prevent whatever. That's not protesting. That's a whole
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: other category. And the police were not anywhere near any
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of this. They had been deliberately called back. You got
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the police. The president of the police union in Minneapolis.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: The president of the police union now coming out and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: saying that this is what caused this. He's specifically blaming this.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He's the head of the police union. I'm looking for
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: his statement here. Minnesota Police union boss Mark Ross tells
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: his staff there would have been no loss of life
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: had the police been there, had they not been held
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: back by the mayor, there would have been no loss
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of life. Things would have remained under control. He says. Unfortunately,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: our local politicians would not allow the police there, would
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: not allow them to maintain order. As a result, Ice
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and Border patrol agents, who are not trained to deal
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: with civilian clashes like this, have been all on their
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: own trying to deal with angry locals. He said that
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: such cooperation didn't even interfere with Minnesota's sanctuary laws. All
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they had to do was allow the police to maintain order. Now,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Democrats have a history of this when it comes to this,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of pulling back the police, so this sort of stuff happens.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: She saw the same thing on January sixth. They were
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: offered ten thousand troops to guard the capitol, and that
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: would have kept the protesters at a distance from the capitol.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't have gotten near the capitol or into the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Capitol Pelosi and she later admitted to this on video,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and the mayor, Muriel Bowser turned it down, And who
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: knows who was behind that decision to turn down the troops. Now,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: all they had were the building police, you know, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: building security people, the Capitol Hill police force, who were
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: not equipped in any way to handle a mob of
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: four hundred thousand people. A handful of building cops can't
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: handle four hundred thousand people. So the whole place got
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: over again. It's the same thing in Minnesota. The police
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: were told to go away, do not go there, do
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: not maintain order, do not control the protesters. So they
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: left the category of protesters. They're physically clashing with the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: officers and actually trying to interfere with their operations, trying
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to block them. And the other problem is you got
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the mayor and the governor spreading this false crap that
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: they're not police. The governor saying stop preferring to them
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: as law enforcement. They're not law enforcement, which is absolutely
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: not true. You got other Democrats there calling them mall cops,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: not police. This is not true. They're actual official law
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: enforcement police officers. That's the main cause. Then you got
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. We can't play it on the air because
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: he's using the F word and cursing. It's up on
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: my Twitter if you want to see it. Schumer trying
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to sound tough, using the F word a lot about this.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Here's a cleaned up. This is another statement.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I felt.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I was punched in the stomach. I looked at those pictures,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: those videos over and over again and said, this can't
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: be America. This is some kind of a fascist dictatorship.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It's what happens if you got crazy out of control
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of protesters rioters, and you take the police away and
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: let them physically clash with the cops. It's what happened
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in January sixth. And look at Ashley Babbitt, and that
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: was a far worse shooting than Pretty. In the case
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: of Ashley Babbitt, she was twenty feet away, She was
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: nowhere near anybody. There was no physical confrontation. She wasn't
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: confronting them. She was trespassing, trying to come through the window.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: But from twenty feet away, the officer just shot her
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: in cold blood. Pretty was different. He was there confronting
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the police physically he was resisting arrest was a whole
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: different things. So and after Ashley Babbitt, poor woman shot
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: in cold blood right in Schumer's own building office building,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: did he say a word. Nope. So Obama put out
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a statement yesterday about the killing of pretty and we're
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: still waiting for his statement on Ashley Babbitt. We haven't
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: seen that yet. It's about five years later. Jimmy Kimmel
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: crying on the air last night. The President has talked
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: about and other people have talked about these protesters being funded,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you know, Soros type money. We mentioned one of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: guys funding this, Neville Roy Singham, the guy that's working
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: with the Chinese communists out of Shanghai, funding this kind
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: of stuff. And Kimmel on the air last night yelling
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and screaming there's no proof. Trump has no proof, calling
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: on him to prove it. Well, it's currently under investigation
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: actually by the Justice Department, by Congress tracing the money.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: So I wouldn't state of that line too long because
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the proof may emerge pretty soon. Hey. By the way,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Colbert goes off the air. May first, they've announced the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: he's announced the end date. May first, they'll be the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: final show, And of course people are getting all riled up.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But you got to remember Colbert, regardless of the politics. Colbert,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you know, said it was all because of Trump and Trump,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you know, in his lawsuit at CBS where they had
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a paym in big settlement, that was part of the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: deal that they remove Colbert. So he's saying he was
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: fired for political reasons. But actually if he never mentioned politics,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: he would still be fired for having the lowest ratings ever.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: In fact, in January or last month, last month, he
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: sent an all time record lowest ratings in the history
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: of late night television, all time record. Now, normally that
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: would get you fired. He's had terrible ratings for a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: couple of years. Now, what's going to happen when they
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: take him off the air? Most likely CBS will not
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: replace it with a talk show. They'll put something else on.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: They'll put a game show reruns or some kind of reruns. Now,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: remember remember Kimmel was taken off the air for a week. Well,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: when that happened, during that week, ABC put on reruns
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: of Celebrity Password and it got triple the ratings of Kimmel.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It became number one in late night, triple the ratings
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: of Kimmel, and it's a lot cheaper. It costs a
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: lot of money to do a late night talk show.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: You got a band, you got an audience, you got
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people, you got twelve writers, you
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: got one hundred people on this. It's a lot cheaper
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: just to throw a rerun into that time slot, which
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: costs you basically nothing, and you get triple the ratings.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: So that's what CBS will do. So it'll help Kimmel
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a little. He'll pick up some of that Colbert audience,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: but Kimmel still has minuscule ratings, tiny ratings. Now, the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: other thing is when the CBS goes to the reruns
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: of the game show and gets triple the ratings, which
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: means a lot more revenue because you can charge more
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: for the commercials with triple ratings. You know, people over
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: at ABC you'll say, why don't we do that and
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: get triple the ratings and make a lot more revenue.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: What do we need Kimmel for? So expect that this
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: is the beginning of the end of late night TV.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Colbert will go away. Remember they didn't re sign Kimmel
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to a real contract, They just sign him to an extension,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a one year extension, so expect this to be Kimmel's
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: final year. Two. The Tonight Show, that's a little different.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: It's it's hard to remove that. That is the uh,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the the whole, you know, gold standard of late night TV.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: That's where it all began. The Tonight Show. Steve Allen,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Jack Parr, Johnny Carson, Jay Lennods. You can't just if
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be one thing standing, it'll be The Tonight Show.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, one good thing about Fallon he doesn't
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: have to do politics. He can go back to just
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: being a comedian, which he's pretty good at. Hey, he's
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: speaking of CBS. The new woman in charge of CBS News,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Barry Weiss, did her town hall yesterday. The people there
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: are in mutiny. They're all upset, they're going crazy because
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: she's trying to fair and balance the place. She's trying
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the left wing total bias. The
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: CBS newspeople furious about that. But in the in the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: town hall, she was pretty straightforward with them, and she said,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you're like, nobody's watching whatever you're doing. However great you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: think it is, it's not working because ratings are way
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: way down CBS News sixty minutes. The CBS Morning Show
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: is always in the last place. It's a disaster. So
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: she said, you know, you're going to have to make
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: these changes. You can't keep doing what you're doing. It's bombing. Obviously,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: America doesn't like it. The public doesn't like it. And
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: she also told them right to their face in this
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: town hall, the public doesn't trust you anymore. And that's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you know, they always talk about the presence approval rating.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: You hear that all the time, but they never mentioned
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: that news and journalists are now the lowest rated thing
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: on earth, the lowest rated thing on earth journalist. American
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: public does not trust mainstream news. Every poll shows mainsteam
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: press at an all time low with the public. It's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: just disaster for them. Hey, you know, Billy Joel the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: residency at Madison Square Garden once a month for ten years,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions of people saw him. Now
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the next one is coming, the next residency, Harry Styles,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and he's expected to really really break Billy Joel's record.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: He's just announced thirty. This is for the residency thirty
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Carnegie Hall shows that Carnegill, Madison Square Garden thirty Madison
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Square Garden shows thirty. Now you know, if that were
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Billy Joel, he'd have to do that over three years.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Harry Styles is going to do it. He's going to
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: do it over two months this summer, thirty shows. You
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: know how hard it is to sell out Madison Square Garden,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: you know what a feet that is. And sometimes you
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: get a Sebastian Maniscalco who's so big that when he
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: comes in he'll do two shows a night at Madison
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Square Garden, sell it out twice in one night. Sometimes
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: you get a guy who do two or three nights,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: four nights to do thirty nights in one little burst
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden's incredible feat. Harry Styles will do
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: it this summer. Make a fortune. You know, if you're
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a big star and you go on tour, it's great.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: You're in Paris, you're in London, you're in Hong Kong.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: It's amazing to be on this world. But it's a
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: pain in the neck and airports and planes and hotels
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and it's awful just group to be able to just
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: stay in your own city. That's why Billy Joel loved it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: You just like a regular job. You just commute from
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: your house. It's very easy. Now do you know who
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: is the first singer ever to sell out Madison Square Garden,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, the current Madison Square Garden. I mean,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: that's a major thing for one guy to just sell
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: out the who whole place one singer. It was in
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the late sixties. First time they ever had a singer sellout.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: It was Bing Crosby. Believe it or not, Bing Crosby
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: was still alive and well. And now you remember Crosby
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the twentieth century, the thirties, forties
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: into the fifties, was the biggest singer in the world,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: biggest star in the world. It couldn't be any bigger.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: But by the sixties wasn't the same anymore. But he
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: was the first singer to play Madison Square Garden by
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: himself and actually actually sell it out. Hey, we'll get
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to Minnesota. We'll get all the latest on it in
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: a few minutes. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred

  Speaker 2: Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart, how you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Doing, Hey, Mark her are you you know? I just
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: want to clarify one thing. Many of these Border Patrol
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: agents and ICE agents, as I mentioned to you once before,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: that many of these are hardened veteran cops. My son
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: just got a tentative offer from Border Patrol this morning.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Stuart. You're a longtime policeman, law enforcement.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Guy, almost fifty years.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.

  Speaker 6: Yeah, my son. Between my son and myself we have
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: over sixty years. He worked inner city, has been a
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: fatal shooting. He knows, you know, what's going on in
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: inner cities. And a lot of these Border Patrol agents
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: are like him. They are hiring from hardened veteran police officers.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: So it's not like, you know, they've been in Border
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: Patrol their entire lives and don't know how to deal
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: with But Stuart.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you a question. The shooting.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I can understand how that happens. The guy shouldn't have
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: been there with you.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: We're gonna ask me this.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I just I'm looking at that shooting. It doesn't look
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: justified to me.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: You know, my son and I had a conversation about
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: this this morning, and I wasn't there. So my response
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: is tentative. I would tend to agree with you. You know,
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: the guy what had gotten a broken rib a week
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: before fighting police, so you know, you know what his
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: mindset was, and I wasn't there. You know, you can
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: look at the videos, you can have an opinion, but
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: I just wasn't there. And as a police officer, I
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: have to have all the facts, and I just don't
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: have them.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, but the rene good one. I've talked to like
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: some of our smartest police officials, and they've all said,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: off the record, it's a totally legal, justified shooting. But
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: he didn't have to shoot. He could have, yeah, you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: could catch your two blocks away and then get her.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: But you know, when it comes to the actual shooting
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: in the facts, that's one thing. But you have to
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: also remember, these guys are under assault every single day.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: I'm a Vietnam vet, and I'm going to tell you,
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: every single day, when you're under fire, it really gets
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: to you mentally, it really doesn't. And these guys every
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: single day, Mark, are under.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Fire, Yeah, he doesn't. He's not there to shoot somebody.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: But you can get into a kind of a panic
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: no matter what in those situations.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not a panic, it's just you know, you're
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: just tired. I mean, you're just so tired every day.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: And like you said, the Minneapolis police have been called back.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: They're being held back. It's not that the street officers,
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: you know, don't want to help. They do, but the
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: administration has been so bastardized by the politicians that they
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: just don't They're not doing anything. And that's that's creating
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: a lot of this problem because you have that secondary
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: backup to protect the Ice agents and border patrol, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: it's just not there.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people believe the police were deliberately
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: held back with the strategy work No, with strategy, with strategy,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: knowing that chaos. All right, do a great call. Thanks
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: for calling. Let's go to Shana in Long Island. Shana,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark. I have a question about this Ashley
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Babbit shooting. Yes, the Trump administration has been in office
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: now a year. Why aren't they prosecuting Michael Bird. They
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: have proof that he shot her without cause.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I know they're looking at it, and people have
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: talked to him about it. But this Michael Bird was
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the cop who, for no reason it all, shot Ashley Babbitt.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: She wasn't confronting him, she was fifteen twenty feet away.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: He just shot her as she was coming through the window.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: He's a bad cop. He's got a history of using
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: his gun recklessly. There was an earlier incident where in
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: his house he was just firing out the window at cars.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: He's got a bad history. I know they're looking at
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: him and everybody's getting impatient, but it's a good question.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: It's just not front burner stuff. I think that's the problem.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing?
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Are you doing?
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Mark? I just got a question here about what is
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: your excuse for Errol Lewis on New York One, he's a.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Pain in the Eron Lewis on New York One. He's
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the most left wing biased partisan. He's a very nice
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: guy in real life. I used to work with him.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: He's a very nice guy. But a lot of that's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of these people. They're very nice people. They
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: go on the air and they become crazy left wing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: I talked to him in the past, but you know.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, what are you gonna do. He's a crazy left
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: wing guy. He's very partisan. I mean, you should try
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: to get it under control on the air, but he doesn't.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Him all over the place.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I remember it's he's.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: Coming down from Mount ever Mount air Raft.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Well that's what he believes. He's a nice guy. He's
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a little crazy politically, and he's very very left wing.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: But that's New York One nowadays. They went really far
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to the left as soon as Trump came in. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: used to work at New York One, but when they
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: went to when Trump came in, they decided to go
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: real far to the left. It hasn't paid off. Worship
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: is way way down there. Let's go to uh Jerry
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: in Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing very well?
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: Thank you Mark for taking my call. Just all these
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: demo gods, whether they're a politician or regular people that
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: they hit America, they started saying that they're sorry that
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: they're voted for Trump. I mean, it's it's ridiculous. You know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: they want to start the new lying.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Yep, do we lose Jerry?
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, thanks Jerry. Let's go to Uh,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Chris and Beth Page again. Chris, how you doing?
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mark Good, I'm sorry, I just tuned in. Did
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: you talk about that elon Omar thing that happened last night?
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: That was We didn't get to that yet. It's a
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: two hour show. We don't do everything at the first.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Give me a chance to get to it. She's under
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: investigation now, we'll get to it in the next hour. Uh,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: that's a great story. They're really going to take a
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: look at her. She's comes to this country without an
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: she's totally broke. She gets elected to Congress. Now that
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't pay too much. It's a you know, civil servant job,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and she's suddenly worth forty four million dollars. Now there's
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: an investigation to see how the hell that happened, and
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: the press. We'll get to it in the next hour.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Even the President Trump wanting to take a look at that. Hey,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: when we come back. The best legal analyst in the world,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and we'll talk to him about Minnesota, about all of this.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett coming up next on seven to ten woor
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: we're listening to, Well, here's the best legal analyst on earth,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Greg Jarrett. And make sure you get his books, The
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Constitution and Other Patriotic Documents, Great Book and Trial of
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the Century. All of his books. Greg Jarrett's books are
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: on Amazon. Of course, you can see them all over
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Fox News and his columns at foxnews dot com. Greg Jarrett,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: how you doing well?
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Hi, Mark, Thanks for having me on.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Where do we even start? Minnesota? You know, the police
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: refused to maintain order there, keep the protesters separate from
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the cops. But the president, if he wanted to, could
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: actually send in the military to do that, couldn't he?
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Oh? Absolutely he could. And in fact Justice Kavanaugh in
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: a recent opinion pointed that out that the president has
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Article two authority that's inherent and has other statutes, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: he surely meant the Insurrection Act to send in troops
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: to Minneapolis, stop the attacks on federal agents, the attacks
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: on federal property. And throughout history we have seen fifteen
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: presidents invoke the Insurrection Act under similar circumstances. The president
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: has the power. I did write in a recent columnlaning
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: the president's power that you know, Minnesota may not be
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: quite near the standard for riots and destruction that would
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: justify such a move. Uh, you know, calling of federal
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: troops could incite more protests, and you know, having the
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: power to act is always tempting, but wisdom is often
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: found in restraint, and I think the President has exercised that.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: He's attempting to defuse the situation there. He's made some
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: changes in the leadership on site in Minnesota and pulling
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: back some of the ICE and Border Patrol personnel, mostly
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: because you know, they've accomplished a lot of what they
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: intended to do there, so you know, sort of time
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: to move on. But you know, as far as all
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: of the violence that has taken place there, Tim Walls,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: the governor, Jacob Fry, the mayor, they bear blame. I mean,
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: they embraced sanctuary status for criminal aliens, they refuse to
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: cooperate with ICE. Then they publicly in front of cameras,
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: gin up the street rage against federal law enforcement, and
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: that only fuel the agitators and the anarchists to harass
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: and impede and even get into fights with ICE agents.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, what did the mayor and governor think was
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: going to happen? Inevitably? You know, somebody armed was going
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: to show up and bloodshed would ensue.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Are these even protesters? The protesters, the guy standing over
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: there with a sign yelling. But when you physically try
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: to stop law enforcement operation, or you physically go into
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: a church and try to interrupt the service, that's no
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: longer protesting. That's beyond protesting.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously. And you know, look, it's always a terrible
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: idea to show up at a law enforcement operation and
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: blowing whistles and harassing with a gun stuffed in your
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: waist belt. And then you know, actively injecting yourself by
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: interfering with the officers, resisting arrest, trying to you know,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: subdue another protester, I mean getting into physical fight with agents.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Bad idea. When you do that, terrible things can happen
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: because it's a crime to obstruct officers who are doing
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: their jobs.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: That's an important point. If you pull your car in
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: the middle of the street and block them from moving,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: or if they're trying to do something and you try
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: to stop the operation, that is actually a crime, right there, isn't.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: It, Yeah, it absolutely is. You're obstructing justice, s obstructing
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: law enforcement. You are arguably engaging in an assault and
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: battery of a law enforcement official. It's a variety of crimes.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: And you know, Mark, you bring.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Up the church protests.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: You know, the right to protest does not extend to
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: private property, and it certainly does not extend to churches.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: They are protected spaces by law. So the mob that
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: stormed the church and terrorized and tormented the congregation, they
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: can and should be prosecuted for a variety of crimes,
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: including truspath disorderly conduct, but most importantly violating what's known
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: as the Face Act. It is a civil rights law
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: that strictly protects houses of worship from threats and intimidation
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: here against Christians. And you know, Don Lemon could also
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: be prosecuted as a willing participant hit himself with the mob,
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: knowing full well that they intended to commit crimes by
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: invading the church. And you know, just calling yourself a
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: journalist is not a defense and the First Amendment is
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: not a shield from criminal charges.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Now, some of the protesters argue, the church is open
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: to the public. Anybody's allowed to come in, but you're
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: not allowed to distop it or stop the service.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: That is correct, And you know, it's private property. They
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: have their rules. Worshipers are welcome, but these were not worshipers.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: This was a mob who you know, decided to trespass
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: out of that property, hault the service of people worshiping.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: And that's, as I say, a violation of the Face
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Act and a companion statute eighteen USC. Two forty seven
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: in the Criminal Code.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, when guys like you say, you know it's about
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: law eighteen C. Two seventy four, how do you guys
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: remember that? How do you remember all these numbers? That's
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: an incredible feat.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know. You learn some of it in
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: law school, others in the practice of law. But you know, here,
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: I knew there.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Was a law.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I'm when it happened. I you know, looked it up
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: and it's right there and plain English.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, there's some people in the president's ear
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: now telling them pull out of Minnesota. Just announce, just
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: call their bluffs that we're leaving Minnesota. We're pulling out completely.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: You can have all your illegals. Let's see how this
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: works out for you. But that's not a good idea,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: is it. It would just encourage the rioters.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Well, rioters and protesters don't get veto power over federal
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: law enforcement, and neither do states. So the question becomes
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: have we done enough? And I don't know what the
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: percentage is, but I somewhere around seventy percent of their
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: objectives have been accomplished, so it's time to scale back,
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: and that's reasonable. They did that in Los Angeles. They
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: had achieved what they wanted to achieve for the most part,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: so they reduced their operations and their personnel. Makes perfect sense.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: He Now, the federal government, their law enforcement, their troops.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: They're legally entitled to enter a city and do whatever
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: they have to do. Correct the federal law overtakes the
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: local law.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, it's the supremacy clause. And you know, federal
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: law supersede state law whenever there is a conflict. So
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: you know, for example, the state has hauled off and
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: you know, file a lawsuit to evict all Ice from Minnesota. Well,
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: you know, they're idiots if they think the law supports that,
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: because it doesn't. As I said before, you know, states
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: don't get to dictate what the federal government does in
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: terms of law enforcement. The supremacy Clause of the Constitution
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: makes that abundantly clear, and the US Supreme Court has
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: consistently upheld the supremacy clause and the right of federal authority.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Greg Jarrett, great stuff. Mcgett's books. By the way,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I love Trial of the Century. It's one of the
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: best books. And the latest book is The Constitution Other
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: patriotic Documents. Are you working on a new book?
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: No, I'm taking a break, Palell. Writing books is an
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: onerous process, and I deserve a break after.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Four books, I know, but we deserve another book. They're
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: all great books, and just go to Amazon. Thank you.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. You can get Greg Jarrett's books and
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: read his columns, and of course Foxnews and foxnews dot Com.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Great stuff, Greg Jarrett, thanks for being with us.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: My pleasure.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Mark, Take care, take care. It is a very tough
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: thing to write a book. I've been trying to do
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: it for years. I think I got so far half
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: a page. It's really I don't know how anybody does it.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I know got people that are best selling authors. This
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: is what they do all day, but they somehow are
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: able to lock themselves in a room for like six
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: hours a day, sitting there at the keyboard, hour after
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: hour after hour. Anyway, we got a lot coming up
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: in the next hour. We'll get to Hey, it's it's
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: like Boycott season. They're left now trying to boycott stuff
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: and Amazon some big changes we get told of that
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: coming up. Hey at noon today, Buck Sexton and Clay Travis,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: you'll love their show noon to three. Then you got
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: three o'clock. You got Jesse Kelly at six. And we
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: got a great show here every night now at nine o'clock,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fayala every night at nine on seven to ten, WR.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Give wor, Bri said on the iHeart Radio app to
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: hear Mark Simone and all Wor host in an instance.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Marximo Show on WR.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Well, freezing cold all this week, there's ridiculous weather. We'll
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: continue through the weekend. Now on Sunday, there's a chance
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: of a snowstorm. You know, they got these two models,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: weather models they use. One it's moving this storm now,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: it could turn towards us, or it could turn away,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: depending on the model. If it turns away, you might
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: get a little little dusting of snow. If it turns
• 33:30
