Hour 1: Minnesota political assassination

Minnesota political assassination.  

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning till you hope you had a great weekend.
If your dad, hope you had a wonderful Father's Day.
The drive in this morning, there's going to be some fog,
so be careful, also some rain. As a matter of fact,
it's probably going to rain off and on for the
next three days. Just keep saying to yourself the mantra
is keep saying to yourself over and over again. We
need the rain, We need the rain, We need the rain.

(00:21):
I know it doesn't help a lot, but hopefully we'll
get a dry weekend coming up. In the Big Three.
It is the start of the war everyone feared. Israel
and Iran are trading air strikes with no end in sight.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
This a series of strikes is not going to end
today or tomorrow, but only at a period of time
which may take weeks, when we are absolutely certain that
the nuclear infrastructure with the intention of weaponizing and threatening
Israel is terminated.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
And shocking news from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netya, who
said in an interview with Fox News that iron was
behind both assassination attempts on President Trump through poxes.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yes, through their intel. Yes they want to kill him.
Look he is enemy number one. He's a decisive leader.
He never took the path that others took to try
to bargain with him in a way that is weak,
giving them, giving them basically a pathway to a rich uranium,
which means a pathway to the bomb.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
We're going to talk with ABC's Jordana Miller live from
Jerusalem in just about a half an hour. Early voting
has started in New York. Today will be day three
and a new poll show socialist Zorin mom Danni in
the lead for the first time.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
His campaign is simple because he basically says, I'll give
you everything free and then don't worry.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
He will tax the rich people and you're not.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
A rich person.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
So no.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
And the No Kings protest across the country that's come
and gone. In some cities there was violence and police
officers injured, but in New York, very few incidents.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
Well, we always respect and protect the right to peaceful protests.
There would be zero, zero tolerance for crime, blocking traffic, graffiti,
will dissolarly behavior.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, that message from Eric Adams and Commissioner Jessica Tish
that got through few incidents, but even fewer results. Just
a lot of people who lost the last election walking
along and together and howling in the wind. And police
in Minnesota, after a massive manhunt, caught the assassin who
killed a Minnesota politician and her husband and seriously wounded

(02:41):
another politician and his wife. He had a hit list
to try and kill a whole lot more.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
It's a sad and somber day. It's a sad and
somber Father's day because we're all shaken by the horrifying
shootings murders that occurred in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
In custody as fifty seven year old Vance Bolter, America's
first military parade is arousing success as the American Army
celebrates its two hundred and fiftieth year of service to country.

Speaker 8 (03:15):
Thank you to the greatest, fiercest, and bravest fighting force
ever to stride the face of this earth, the United
States Army, Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
And Pope Leo speaks to a full house at White
Soxfield in Chicago, his hometown.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
We have to look beyond our own, if you will,
egotistical ways. We have to look for ways of coming
together and promoting a message of hope.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
America's Pope is from Chicago, as you know, and he
wowed the faithful with a message of hope and love,
and he told teenagers that they have to get more
involved in the church. There were a lot of schools
that made it to White Sox stadiums. So just a
wonderful day. By the way, if you want to get
involved in today's show, would love to hear from you.

(04:07):
Just go to the iHeart Radio app and leave us
a talkback at seven to ten WR you find that section,
then you find the talkback microphone and that's how you
leave us a message. We'll be playing them in the
next segment. Well it's kind of shocking, isn't it. I've
been saying from the very beginning, Hey, watch this guy.

(04:28):
Watch this guy. Even when he was like at two percent,
watch him. He's rising in the polls. He's he does
great videos, he's a good politician, and he there's a
certain segment of the population, and there's a lot of
them in Manhattan, especially that he resonates with his message

(04:49):
of hey, we're gonna give you a lot of stuff
for free, and we're gonna tax the rich, which is
the dumbest strategy in the world because the richual just
leave and there goes your tech space. But the Politico
poll has mam Donni Zorin Mamdanni now up five points.
Now in every other poll, even the most recent polls,

(05:11):
every other poll, Cuomo is still ahead. There's even been
a recent poll that had him up twelve points. But
even in those polls, nobody hits fifty percent. And in
this ridiculous system in New York of rank choice voting,
the stupidest idea in the world, there's a reason nobody
else does it by the eighth vote, by the eighth round.

(05:34):
Even in when he's ahead in twelve points, Cuomo just
beats mam Donni by two points. So seriously, this is
political strategist to say this is anybody's race, But this.

Speaker 9 (05:45):
Really shows as that this is a toss of race.
Andrew Cuomo can be beaten. And look when the emperor
doesn't have the full amount of clothes. To all the
constellation of democratic organizations, labor union's activists elect to officials
who don't like Andrew Cuomo, well, now that they see
that he can be beaten to all of them, come
out right.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
That's what's going to happen over the next couple of days.
There's going to be all these factions getting out the
vote to beat Cuomo. Mom Donnie's people are extremely well organized,
extremely well organized. I don't know where he's getting his money,
and I don't know where this organization is from. But
if you ever see him out there, there's a team,
a huge, big team of people supporting him. And I

(06:26):
think it's just the socialist liberal faction in this in
this city. They want him in there and they're going
to be pushing him. But here's the thing. In a
primary election, you have a lot of power because not
many people come out and vote. The voting is going

(06:47):
to be down in the twenties or thirty percent if that,
and so your vote is that much more important. Early
voting started Saturday. Today will be the third day. Just
make sure you vote if you want to stop Zorin Mamdani,
who is going to be First of all, he has
very little experience, and experience matters. He's never run anything

(07:10):
this big. He did very little when he was in
the Assembly. He was only there a short time. He
had like six bills that he sponsored and only one
of them passed. He's a great speaker, he's got a
nice smile. He says all the right things about giving
everything from free for free, including free bus service in

(07:33):
the city, but he doesn't have the money for it,
and he's going to raise taxes. He's going to raise
taxes so high, and he's victim friendly, so he's not
going to be great when it comes to crime in
the city. He is a nightmare for the City of
New York. And I'm saying all this about the primary,

(07:55):
realizing the primary doesn't really matter that much, but you
do need to send a message. And so I do
hope you get out to vote. I don't even care
who else you vote for. Just don't vote for Zorain
mam DONI Early voting is extremely important.

Speaker 10 (08:13):
So early voting is incredibly important in New York because,
first of all, you don't have to think about it again,
let me tell you that is very important for most
New Yorkers. But it also helps make sure that there
aren't long lines at the polls on election day, and
especially when there's a an election as important as the
mayoral election this year.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
There's not going to be long lines the Unfortunately, nobody
comes out and votes, and I get it. I understand why,
because there's ridiculous election laws in New York City ridiculous.
So Andrew Cuomo, even if he loses, is still running
in the fall. He still will be on the ballot
as an independent z or in Mam Donni if he loses,

(08:53):
will still be on the ballot. So what does the
primary mean? What does it do? And then there's gonna
be there's gonna be Curtis Liba who's gonna be on
the bouot, And there's Eric Adams on the ballot. And
Eric Adams decided not even to run in the primary,
so the primary has to become meaningless. And then you

(09:15):
have that stupid rank choice voting and they're all cross
endorsing each other and saying, make me number one, make
me number two. It is the silliest system in the country,
and yet it's what we have. But if you want
to send a Zori mom Donnie a message, and somehow

(09:37):
you're a Democratic voter listening to this show, get out
and vote for anybody but Mom Donnie. And if you
have him a bouot, leave him off your ballot. Still
to come, a news chopper pilot starts to give too
much personal information over the radio while covering protest in

(09:57):
Los Angeles. You'll hear it for yourself. Next Welcome back.
Always appreciate your talkbacks. Go to seven ten WR on
the iHeartRadio app and click the talkback area. There's a
microphone you hit that you record. If you don't like
your message, you can record it again and then you're
on the air.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
Does anyone else think, Momdani is the Manchurian candidate?

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Ah, that's interesting. I don't think so. I don't think so.
The Manchurian candidate, of course, is from a great movie
where somebody was put in by a foreign entity to
run so they could have control over him and thus
have control over the country. I don't think so for
a couple of reasons. First of all, is he run

(10:38):
by somebody else? I don't know that that is possible,
But I don't know if you have that much power
over as mayor of New York. And he really can't
run for much else. I mean, he'd become a senator,
but then he's one of one of one hundred, and
he could be in the House, but then he's one
of four hundred and some, so I'm not sure that

(11:01):
that makes any sense. Plus, he is born in Uganda,
so he can never be president. But Look, he's scary
enough without being a Manchurian candidate, without being sent here
from somewhere else, without being run by Iran or some
foreign Muslim entity. Because I will tell you this about him,

(11:24):
he is really good and that's why he's doing so well.
He's a he's a great, great politician, but he's scary.
So if it makes him scary to be a Manchurian candidate,
then yes, he's a Manchurian candidate. Because I really hope
this guy fails miserably, and I worry about him in
the fall when he runs on the Working Family Party

(11:47):
the candidacy, because the votes are gonna get split up
so much. Really, it's anybody's race at that point. So
Manchurian candidate, I don't think so. But I think he's
scary enough without without being the main Centurion candidate, especially
for the city of New York. I think he would
ruin New York. All right, let's get to this story.
This is an incredible story. There's a guy that flies

(12:10):
a helicopter for Fox eleven out in Los Angeles and
he was covering the No Kings protest. His name's Stu Mundell,
and so they were doing it live on the air,
that he was doing a lot of hits on air,
and then the rest of the stream was shown online,
so he was always on. Apparently nobody told him that

(12:32):
because he didn't know as Mic was on and just
started talking to somebody. I don't know who else was
there about his personal life.

Speaker 11 (12:40):
I am married. I am I am legally married. I
am legally married. That's about the only way you can
really say it. I am legally married. But I am
not looking at now at all. I just had a
bunch of debacles with my personal life. Yes, it's true.
I know it's hard to believe. Got nothing right now,

(13:01):
got nothing, got nothing, not really looking doing it lonely
of course, of course.

Speaker 12 (13:05):
But I got cats, cats, Ali has the cat. I
hope I feel sair who got it.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Bad for them. I hope his wife thinks that they're
just legally married too, I don't. I hope that's not
the first time she heard that from him. I hope
he doesn't have kids either, I mean, Mike, yeah tough.
Oh my god, could you imagine hearing that he's got
to live with that?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Now?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Do you realize that in LA this is being played
everywhere every morning show, every radio show in the morning
on TV. You can't go anywhere without hearing that.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
Now.

Speaker 12 (13:47):
I know it was some live streams, so it wasn't
a regular broadcast channels. But I mean, wasn't there anybody
behind the scenes, a producer, a boardop listening and saying, oh,
chug his mic off.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
That's that's that's a great question. But not when it's
on the internet, like they just let that run. There's
really no producer. Well, they're worried about their next hit.
The producers are worried about their next hit. Now there
are people that run the internet in TV stations, but
they're not listening to everything that just run live is
run live. Stu is having a bad day today. Now

(14:21):
let's get to Larry Kowski, who is filling in for
Jacqueline Carl today with the six thirty news. Hey Larry, Well,
good morning, Larry.

Speaker 13 (14:28):
We have sixty two degrees cloudy skies at six thirty.
The suspect and Saturday shooting death of one Minnesota state
lawmaker and the wounding of another now in police custody.
Fifty seven year old Vance Bolter was captured live yesterday
near green Isle, Minnesota. Dead or State Lawmaker Melissa Hortman
and her husband. Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife

(14:49):
survived and are recovery. The FBI has captured the second
of four detainees who escaped last week from an ICED
attention center in newer The search continues for the other two.
More than thirty thousand New Yorkers turned out on Saturday
for the first day of early voting ahead of next
week's primary. Had some food news to start the week

(15:10):
Missing Foods. The company behind cup Noodle's incidant Robin has
a new limited time flavor. Dill Pickle Company says it
comes just as pickles are having a moment on somepoceral
media with more than three hundred and twenty one million
posts and counting on TikTok. They go on sales starting
this weekend. Larry you first.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
I'm so out of it. I didn't know pickles were
having a moment.

Speaker 13 (15:33):
Dillaver No.

Speaker 12 (15:35):
Yes, if you go to the store right now, you'll
find Dill pickle potato chips. I think I saw Dill
pickle a hummus the other day. So you know how
pumpkin spice became a thing like the cereal was pumpkin spice.
Everything is dill pickle right now.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
It's amazing you talked about the dill pickle potato chips
because somebody just said to me they're delicious.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
See.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
I could not, in my life a matter imagine buying
dill pickle potato chips. It sounds disgusting, but he said,
and I really trust him. Larry, have you had dill
pickle anything except for Bill Pickles?

Speaker 13 (16:11):
No, just Bill pickles. I mean, if you want dill pickles,
why not just have the real thing? Right? True?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
True, Very smart man, Larry Kowski. Thanks so much. Talk
to you a little bit when we come back. Israel
is under attack from Iran. After Israel attacks Iran. It's
the war that everybody feared. We'll get the latest from
Jordana Miller, who is in Jerusalem next and don't forget

(16:36):
you can leave us a talk back all morning long.
Go to seven ten WR on the iHeartRadio app and
click the microphone and when you are there, put seven
to ten WOOR on your presets. Plus you could win
a limited edition Minty in the Morning highly coveted T shirt,
which will be awarded each day to our favorite talkback

(16:57):
of the morning. Well, we are heading in We know
our fourth day now of airstrikes between Iran and Israel,
and word out of Israel right now is that this
could take weeks and weeks and weeks, so this isn't
going away anytime soon. Israel has one goal, and that

(17:18):
is to take out the all nuclear enrichment and any
nuclear power capability that Iran might have. Iraq seems to
have another goal, and that is just retaliation. And there
have been mass bombings in Israel. And live in Israel
right now is Jordana Miller. She is in Jerusalem, Jordana.

(17:41):
I couldn't help thinking about you during this whole thing,
you and your family there. I hope everybody, all our
hearts and prayers go out to the people of Israel
and especially to you who have gotten to know over
the last couple of years. And I hope everything is okay.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah, We're okay. You know, it's like a new this
is the new normal now, right. Sirens going off in
Jerusalem at least three times a day. Usually two of
those are in the middle of the night, where I
have to go with my young children across the street
from my house to a bomb shelter that is a

(18:20):
secure bomb shelter that's one floor down. Getting to know
my neighbors in new ways since we all are convening
there multiple times a day, and you know, it is say,
it is a new reality. Now today in Tel Aviv,
for example, you know, everyone's getting a very close look

(18:41):
at the damage of the impact sites. Last night. Aaron
fired about sixty five ballistic missiles last night and two
separate waves, and they hit four different places in Israel,
Tel Aviv, several buildings, apartment buildings, even causing slow damage
to the US embassy extension right that's in Tel Aviv.

(19:07):
It used to be the main US embassy until it
moved here to Jerusalem. But that building still functions as
part of the embassy and it's enormous. There was some
damage there. The ambassador to Israel from the United States,
my Kugaby posted, you know that everyone there is safe,
but there was some damage there. There was damage in Haifa,

(19:29):
in Petach Tikva city in central Israel. Impact site also
in Bene Barack overnight. The depth hole now at eight
but including you know, also almost one hundred injured. So now,
since the operation started on Friday morning at three am,

(19:49):
with Israel's surprise what they're calling their preemptive strike on
Iran's nuclear and ballistic facilities. The death hols in Israel
is now up to twenty four with about four hundred injured.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
What is the feeling in Israel? Is Netanyahu being supported
in this?

Speaker 5 (20:10):
He is being supported in this. I have to say
he's being supported across the political spectrum from even politicians
that have been at odds of N'ataielle for many years,
for example, his former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, or his
another former defense minister who unseated him, of Tally Bennett,

(20:35):
or the head of the opposition. Yet you're Lapide Defense
Minister Jov Galant, who led most of this war, also
supporting N'ataielle. I mean, while there were legitimate questions about
N'atagnelle's leadership and his decisions in Gaza, that they were
more motivated by politics and keeping his coalition together when

(20:57):
it comes to Iran, everyone here is united in the
just cause of preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And
for the Israelis, it's not just about the enrichment, which
the world has known about, right and the IAE the
Atomic Agency's been talking about for a long time, that

(21:17):
Iran rushed now to enrich a lot of material up
to sixty percent, right, which is just a step away
from weaponization. But the Israelis are saying that's not that
is a key part of developing a nuclear weapon. But
what they were worried about is that Iran was making
so much progress on designing a warhead to carry those

(21:41):
that nuclear material and to essentially deploy it on a missile.
And once they'd done that, it was game over, right,
So the Israelis said, this was the moment they decided
it was time to go in.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
And one of the shocking things in an interview yesterday
on Fox News was when nat Nyo who said that
there wasn't there was plans for an assassination on Donald
Trump and as a matter of fact, that the Uranians
were involved in both assassination attempts.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Do you have more on that, Well, you know, the
reporting from various news agencies, including ABC, is that President Trump,
you know, put his foot down and vetoed Israeli plans
to assassinate around Supreme Leader ietolajmene Now during his interview

(22:35):
with Fox News, the Israeli Prime Minister denied that he
denied that Trump you know, put down his foot and
he just kind of moved on, right. I mean, it's
looking at what the Israelis have done in Iran, to
their military leadership, to their leadership, you know, assassinating their

(22:58):
military leaders, assassinating their scientists. It's well within reason to
think that the Supreme Leader would have been in their crosshairs, right.
I mean, he's virtually the only leader still standing at
this point. Right, So, you know, it may be that
Natanielle was given a kind of red line at that moment.

(23:19):
I think the critical question moving forward is, you know,
will will the US end up joining this operation, this
war against you know, against Theron's nuclear facilities or not.
And I think, you know, I don't even I don't
think there's a clear answer yet, even in Washington. But

(23:40):
I think that's one of the key things to watch
going forward.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Jordana, I know you're in demand today. I appreciate you
spending a few minutes with us. Jordana Miller, ABC News
correspondent live in Jerusalem. Thank you so much, Jordana.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Thanks Larry Tucson, Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Let me give you some of the interview with Netanyaho
when he talked about. I think sure, Dana, you know
there's sometimes problems. Thought that I was talking about an
attempt on the Iranian Supreme Leader. No net Nya who
said yesterday that there was some talk between Iran and assassins,

(24:21):
would be assassins in this country to take out Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Through proxies, Yes, through their intel. Yes, they want to
kill it. Look is enemy number one. He's a decisive leader.
He never took the path that others took to try
to bargain with him in a way that is weak,
giving them, giving them basically a pathway to a rich uranium,
which means a pathway to the bomb. Right.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Remember he took out Solomoni, who was there was terrorist
number one. He was head of the forces in Iran.
They've never forgiven that. And then when he took office,
he tore up the deal, the Iranian deal that was
to prevent them from building a nuclear program but giving
them billions of dollars and lifting sanctions on them. And

(25:08):
Trump got in and said, no, we're not going to
do that anymore if.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
They also try to kill me. But I'm his junior partner.
You understand that President Trump is a great threat to
Ron's plans to weaponize nuclear weapons and use them.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
So we have to find out how much truth there
is to this, whether this is just Net and Yah
who trying to get the United States more involved with
their fight against Iran, or if it is true that
both assassination attempts, the one where they actually got off
a shot and hit him in the ear and the
other one in Florida where he was camped out ready

(25:41):
to take out Donald Trump. They're the two assassination attempts
that they're talking about that Net and Yahoo is saying
there was a Ranian connection. We're going to be hearing
a whole lot more about that in the days and
weeks to come. In the meantime, police Minnesota they got
their man, the assassin who killed the speaker of the

(26:03):
Minnesota House and her husband is in custody. But the
country is now on alert fearing more political violence. We'll
have the very latest next. Also, the iHeartRadio Music Festival
is back September nineteenth and twentieth in Las Vegas. Two
big nights, one big stage, live performances by Brian Adams,

(26:26):
John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Ed Sheer and Maroon Five and
much much more. Now's your chance to buy tickets to
AXS dot com AXSS dot com. You gotta get them
now before they sell out. Welcome back. It was tense
over the weekend, wasn't it, After an assassination in Minnesota

(26:47):
of a state lawmaker and a shooting of another and
their spouses, ending a two day manhunt that just not
only rattled the stated, rattled the country. They caught their man,
though it happened late last night. Vance Bolter, fifty seven
years old, was picked up. He was hiding out. Drones

(27:07):
had seen him, but he was able to elude police
for a long time. It seems like he just got
sick and tired of hiding and gave himself up. He
killed Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. Now Melissa was
a Speaker of the House for some time, and then
in a separate attack, the gunman also wounded State Senator

(27:28):
John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman. This one is horrible.
He did it at their homes. He went to their
homes and he pretended he was a police officer, and
that's why they opened the door and let him in.
And he wasn't a police officer. Obviously, and he shot
at them. The story that really clenches at your heart.

(27:50):
I mean, it's all horrible, right, and it's all emotional,
it's all horrible. But Yvett Hoffman, the wife of State
Senator John Hoffman, to protect her daughter, jumped on her
daughter and covered her with her body, and she took
the shots so her daughter wouldn't be shot. There's nothing
good about this. It's just all awful. But again, they

(28:12):
got their man. Late last night.

Speaker 14 (28:15):
There was twenty different SWAT teams over an extremely large
area hunting this individual down to take him into custody.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Right, it was a certain area because it was close
to his house. It was a state forest that he
was hiding out in. But the drones could see him
and by heat seeking, they were able to see him
the entire time, and finally, apparently he just gave himself up.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Belter did avoid and evade the swat teams for about
an hour, and my sources told me and I think
he was just kind of getting a little bit tired,
and once the drones got back on him and had
contact with him, at one point he walked out with
his arms up and he surrendered peacefully.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
As much as I think the governor of Minnesota, also
Kamala Harris's vice presidential running mate, is a fool. He's
been good throughout this. He's actually been really good in
comforting the state and making certain that all state resources
were brought into place. And of course last night he

(29:18):
thanked the police.

Speaker 15 (29:19):
Law enforcement who stand here and the hundreds who were
involved in this. The state of Minnesota owes you a
deep great of gratitude. Thank you. You ran towards the
danger and you served the state of Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Imagine that on Father's Day, hundreds of police officers called
into duty to search for this guy, and it was
it was a massive manhunt for him. You heard, you've
heard by now I'm sure that they found in his car.
I guess you could call it a manifesto or a
hit list. He had many politicians that he had planned

(29:55):
to kill, and he had planned all of this out.
He bought the ammunition, made sure he had a plan
that he was going to be a police officer so
that all of these politicians would answer their doors and
he was going to kill them all in their homes.

Speaker 14 (30:10):
When we did a search of the vehicle, there wasn't
a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials. He
immediately made alerts to the state, who took action on
alerting them and providing security word necessary.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Look, there's sick minds out there. We have to tamp
down the political rhetoric. Both sides have to tamp down
the political rhetoric because there's people that believe it. So
when you call somebody a fascist, they believe it, even
though it's absurd, they believe it. When you say somebody
is a dictator, they believe it. When you say somebody's

(30:46):
ruining the country, they believe it. And this is what happens.
Take no mistake about it. This is more than a
regional tragedy. It's part of a troubling pattern, a wave
of political violence that threatens the very foundation of this republic.
That's Chuck Schumer. He was actually really good in this
whole thing too. And there's going to be extra security

(31:08):
because every time something like this happens, there's other sick
people out there that go, oh, that's a good idea,
and then they try to do the worst as well.
So there's extra security right now in state capitals around
the country and in Washington, DC.

Speaker 16 (31:24):
When you look at all the threats and the increase
in threats against elected officials, something like seventeen hundred back
in twenty sixteen and now we're up to nine thousand.
This is a rampant problem that the public and all
of us have to deal with, and also against judges.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
We have to tone it down. The politicians have to
tone it down, the media has to tone it down.
Where people will die when we come back. The New
Jersey primaries are over. The governor's race is Democrat Mikey
Cheryl versus Republican Jack Chitarelli. Will talk with award winning

(32:03):

rays coming up after the seven o'clock news
