  Speaker 1: The immigration situation is already forefront. Tom Holman, the Uh,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: what's his title? I know it's not tsar. I hate
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it when we call any American officials. He's got to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have a real title. Tsars are for the pre Bolshevik Russia.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They are not us. They are the the I don't
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: know if he's going to be Homeland Security or what
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: his actual title is going to be, but he is.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: He's an intimidating presence and uh, he's not making any
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: bones about the fact that he's he's going to travel
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the country, go from city to city. If he doesn't
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: get cooperation from elected officials enforcing federal law, then he
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: will hold them accountable to the fullest legal extent possible.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And uh, I think he means it. His official title
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: is White House borders are it is t czar they
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: use I see. I hate that. I'm sorry. The word
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: czar just belongs in the old Soviet Union or in Russia.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It does not belong here. We're bringing it back. Yeah, goodie.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So there's this letter, this letter floating around representing Republican
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: governors around the United States of America that stand in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: support of President Trump and his commitment to addressing the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: illegal immigration crisis in the United States of America and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: by deporting individuals who pose a threat to the United
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: States communities in our national security. Twenty six Republican governors
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: released a joint statement saying, as Republican governors, we stand
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: united in support of President Donald Trump's unwavering commitment to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: make America great again by addressing the illegal immigration crisis
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and deporting illegal immigrants who pose a threat to our
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: communities and national security. When the Biden administration refused to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: secure our borders and uphold the rule of law, it
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: was Republican governors who took action. We mobilized state resources,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: including law enforcement and National Guard units, to protect Americans
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: from disastrous open border policies and prevent illegal immigration from
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: overwhelming our country. Now the letter is substantial, It goes
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on for a while. Been at the bottom. You have
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: all of those governors who have signed. And on the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: list of governors who have signed is the name Michael
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: de Wine of Ohio. Really, Now, look, he has not
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: been a fan of Donald Trump. He couldn't make himself
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: available with some COVID excuse. Every time Donald Trump came
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to the state of Ohio, his predecessor wouldn't even go
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to the convention in Cleveland. It was, it was. It
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was a sad statement on behalf of the state of Ohio.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm very surprised and yet very very happy that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Ohio Governor Mike Dwaine has signed this letter of support
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for the Trump immigration policies in the plan. However, here
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in Columbus, we have something called Ginther, and I wander.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure that you are aware that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take you back in time a little
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: bit here to an executive order from Columbus Mayor and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: through day and who they Gentther that reads as follows
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: reinforcing and expanding city immigration policy for all Columbus residents,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: whereas they do that a lot in legislation, whereas no
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: more fit cards. Columbus is a America's opportunity city, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that means opportunity for all who reside here. And whereas
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for over two hundred years, the FairBreak of our city
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: has been woven by immigrants and refugees for around the world.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And whereas Columbus neighborhoods from German village to American addition
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to a Highland, West and Northland reflect the waves of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: migration and immigration throughout our history, and those neighborhoods make
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: us stronger as a city. And whereas it is the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: responsibility of municipal leaders to protect the well being and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: safety of all people, including that that's an interesting sentence,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: including people residing in their cities. Hang on a second,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: let me think about that. Whereas it is the responsibility
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: municipal leaders to protect the well being and safety of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: all people residing in their cities. That's an interesting sentence.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Let me continue. And whereas our city will only be
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: best served by reinforcing and instituting strong public policies that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: respect the rights of all individuals, regardless of national origin
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: or immigration status, and promote strong police community relations. And whereas,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: whether we are native born in or New America, we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: have a responsibility to active, actively engage in the success
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of our city and the final whereas columbus future is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: big enough, bright enough, and safe enough for everyone. Therefore,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that's how they ended. I Andrew J. Ginther, Mayor of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the City of Columbus, declare and institute this executive order
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in furtherance of the foregoing one. It shall be, it
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: shall it shall be the policy of the City of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Columbus to actively support, to the greatest extent practicable, the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: placement or settlement in this jurisdiction of aliens eligible to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: be admitted to the United States, again, of aliens eligible
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to be admitted to the United States as refugees. City
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: staff are hereby authorized and directed to cooperate to the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: greatest extent practicable with federal and state officials in such
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: placement or settlement. Or no city or department employee may
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: use city money, equipment, or personnel for the sole purpose
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of detecting or apprehending persons based on suspected immigration status,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: unless in response to a court order. So if Trump's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: people come in here and the governor says, Ohio's on board,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and Ginther says, but I issued an executive order, who wins?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope I know, but I can't
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be sure. What I can be sure of is it
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: will be interesting to watch. It is time for me
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to flo. If I back in tomorrow with three with Blazer,
