Hour 1: What will Trump do with Chicago?

 What will Trump do with Chicago?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, good morning to you. I will tell you it's
been a tough morning for firefighters in West Milford Township.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service is battling right now
a wildfire in the area of Clinton Road in West
Milford Township. Late last night, they reported that seventy acres
were ablaze and none of it was contained. We've got

(00:24):
no report since then. There's supposed to be a report
out at eight thirty. Wildfire is considered a major wildfire
if it exceeds one hundred acres in size. This was seventy,
so you would think that it's gotten bigger than that,
unless unless the firefighters did phenomenal work overnight. But again,
the next update is at eight thirty. It hasn't really

(00:46):
threatened any homes. This is in the Clinton Reservoir in
Passaic County, and so as of the last report on this,
it was a wildfire that was just can to the
reserve and firefighters again are doing their darnedness right now
to contain this thing. We'll have an update at eight

(01:08):
thirty this morning. Also in the Big Three, well, Donald
Trump says he doesn't care what they say in Chicago.
He's going in.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, we're going in. I didn't say when we're going
in when you lose. Look, I have an obligation. This
isn't a political thing. I have an obligation.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
He has an obligation, he says, to fight crime. After
meeting with ten victims of Jeffrey Epstein's the House Oversight
Committee releases to the public all of the documents they have.
But they say that's still not enough.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
What's going to change everything is tomorrow at ten thirty,
when we have the survivors testifying in public, some of
whom have never spoken publicly, and they've already met with
the Oversight commitdian enemies allegedly a very emotional meeting, and
that's all behind closed doores. But it's going to be

(02:07):
open to the public.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah. That's Republican Thomas Massey, who has been out on
front and fighting for these files. By the way, when
he says tomorrow at ten thirty, that was yesterday. So
that's today at ten thirty, which will be a public
hearing with many of the victims testifying. We don't know
exactly how many. We don't know how many there were

(02:30):
ten that testified behind closed doors. Not all of them
are willing to testify in public. Well. In the New
York mayor's race, candidate Jim Walden, who was running fifth
with about three percent of the vote, has ended his
campaign and he's urging other candidates to do the same.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
But at this point, it's really important that there'd be
one free market candidate against the socialist agenda of mister Mumdani.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
And it was the first day back to school yesterday
many kids in New York. And it was the first
day of the no cell phones policy, which got mixed reviews.
I don't really like it. I'll comely is like is
born today?

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I felt like like I paid attention.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Yeah productive.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Is that a good thing? Yeah, it's a good thing.
Now let's talk about the mayor's race, because something significant
happened yesterday. Jim Walden dropped out of the race. He
was running fifth, getting about three percent of the vote. Uh.
But good for him. He said from the beginning, if
I didn't pick up steam, I wasn't gonna waste anybody

(03:37):
else's money and I was going to drop out of
the race. So he did. But he's also urging others
to drop out of the race as well, and he
said they need to decide by the end of the month.
And when he said when he says others, he's specifically
talking about Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa. He said, look,

(03:57):
if if you aren't there by the end of the month,
if you're not competing, then get out. There is too
much at stake.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
I think that most New Yorkers do not want a
mayor who is advancing antisemitic policies, who has in prior
years embraced actual terrorists, and someone who is so imbued
by anti police bigotry. Because that's really what it is.
He said he wanted to dismantle the police. He called

(04:26):
them wicked and corrupt. You can't walk away from those words.
And if we've learned anything in our politics, it's when
someone says something, believe them.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
So.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Jim Walden, former assistant US Attorney and very high profile
attorney in this town. He's also a mixed martial arts fighter,
is now out of the race. But build the Blasio.
Build the Blasio has now endorsed a candidate. Boy, just

(04:57):
guess who that is. Guess who that would be?

Speaker 8 (05:00):
Zorin Mom, Donnie, Yes, we need police for a variety
of situations, But why don't we flood the zone with
mental health workers to help get a lot of those
people off the streets and create more of a sense
of order. I think what people got to say from
the wrong when he's mayor is actually, he will be
able to do things that previous mayors didn't.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh yeah, he's gonna do a lot of things that
previous mayors didn't do. He's not going to get a
whole lot accomplished, but he's going to ruin the city.
There is absolutely no question about that that the city
will be ruined under him, because specifically what he wants
to do to the police force. I am so happy
that crime has taken center stage now in this race

(05:43):
because that is where zurin mom Donnie is the weakest.
Everything else he says is fantasy, but a lot of
people buy into it. So he's not weak on that
because that's really what's fueling his campaign, and nobody's been
able to break through by saying, Look, he can't do
all these things, but crime. Crime is visceral, and crime

(06:07):
scares people. They don't want you to take a chance
on crime. They don't want you to promise social workers
when they need police.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Part of that is taking mental health response homelessness out
of the police department set of responsibilities such that they
can actually follow through other responsibilities that give New Yorkers
a real sense of trust and peace in the city
that they call home.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes, so he wants to send social workers, which he
said all along, and he keeps doubling down on to
domestic violence calls, and any police officer will tell you
that that is one of the most dangerous situations. That's

(06:50):
when you need a police officer. So when you send
a social worker to an already volatile situation and they
try to talk them down, that doesn't always work. So
you're gonna end up sending a police officer anyway, and
hopefully the social worker has not been assaulted or killed

(07:14):
at that point. It is dangerous what we're talking about
right now. And I don't know why this doesn't sink through.
There is something going on where logic has gone out
the window because he keeps promising things he can't deliver,
and the things he can deliver on are scary.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
He is a danger to New Yorkers.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
He is dangerous and he is reckless because of his
inexperience and his political philosophy.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, it's the phone former, it's the political philosophy the latter,
I should say, that's what's so scary about him. Yeah,
I don't care about his lack of experience. I really
don't care about that. I care about what he says
he's going to do. He puts it all out there
for you. He's not trying to hide what he wants
to do. And it's the lack of experience of the

(08:12):
voters that scares me. Because there's all these young voters
that go, ah, that sounds good, that sounds good. We're
all going to Disneyland. You know, it's it is pie
in the sky stuff. But when you're young and inexperienced,
you can buy into that. And that's what he's hoping for.

(08:34):
He's hoping for a huge block of voters that don't
know any better. They just see the big free sign
on the storefront window and believe it's really for free
when it's not. There's a huge cost for the things
he can get done. You know, he can't raise taxes.

(08:57):
He can't. He can't do that by himself. The corporate
tax that he keeps saying he's gonna raise to get
money for all the free buses and the free childcare
and the government stores and all the socialist things he
wants to do. He can't get the money for that.
He'll never be able to get the money for that.
That's all a lie, it will never happen. And yet

(09:18):
there are so many people that just see free and
they don't care how he does it, and so they're
gonna vote for him because he promises free. Everything about
this guy is scary. So I believe what Jim Walden
is saying. Other people do need to drop out, and
I'm sorry that includes Curtis Lee. If he doesn't, if

(09:42):
he doesn't rise dramatically in the polls, it should be
time for him to get out. Although I love his policies,
especially about the police.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
Do you want social workers to deal with these gang
problems hit are plaguing your burrow, Because that's what Za
Mondami wants.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
He wants social working. He does not want additional cops, right,
and Curtis Lee will want seven thousand more cops, and
that's exactly what we need, more cops, not more social workers.
But he wants to take that money. He keeps saying
he doesn't want to defund the police, but he wants
to take the money away from the police and hire
more social workers. So yeah, that's that's defunding. We'll talk

(10:21):
more about that over the next couple of hours. Well,
there was a magical moment at a wedding at Saint
Peter's Cathedral when a young woman was about to get
married and something wonderful happened. We'll tell you what that
was next. All right, it is time for talkbacks. If
you want to get involved in this, you go to
the iHeartRadio app and there you look for seven to

(10:43):
ten wor you look for the talkback feature. There's a
microphone you record what you want to say. If you
don't like it the first time, you can keep recording
a new one until it's perfect, and then you just
hit send and you send it to us and then
we put you on the air.

Speaker 7 (10:59):
Fifty and eight killed over the Labor Day weekend in Chicago,
Pritzer and Johnson doubled down on their demands to Trump
that there is no emergency. Nothing to see here. Makes
me sort of believe that maybe these politicians are being
paid off by the cartels to turn the other cheek.
Chicago is a big drug distribution hub. Drugs are being

(11:22):
followed up the highways to the big cities for distribution.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
They are clueless. I'm so reluctant to say it, but
it's so appropriate. Brandon Johnson and Governor Pritzer are idiots.
They are They look so bad in this whole thing.
Did you see Printzer again was walking along the lake front.

(11:48):
This is after a weekend where thank you for the
talkback where he just pointed out in the talk back,
fifty eight people were shot. Remember yesterday we had all
of the numbers from the first three days of the
Labor Day weekend. We didn't have Monday. Well, it's up
to fifty eight. Fifty eight shot, eight killed, eight killed.

(12:08):
Could you imagine if there was eight killed on the
weekend in New York, we'd be going crazy about that.
Not in Chicago. Apparently it's just the way things happen.
Because Pritzer was out once again talking about how safe
it is, Yeah, another beautiful day in Chicago. He said
he is clueless. That's like political suicide to not realize

(12:34):
what's going on in your own city. And Brandon Johnson, well,
everybody kind of ignoring him because he was he was
on death doors. Anyway, Politically people were all ready to
give up on him a long time ago. He's been awful.
The city budget's awful. He spent way way too much

(12:58):
money on the on the migrant crisis, over ten billion
dollars on the migrant crisis. He is just an amazing failure.
So again, you can push him out of the way,
but it's it's it's tough to push Pritzker out of

(13:19):
the way because he's out in front all the time.
He's he's making a fool out of himself all of
the time, and so I I don't know what's gonna happen.
I mean, here, here's the thing. So President Trump says

(13:40):
he's gonna go in no matter what, right, He's gonna
go in, no matter what. Well, I'm not sure he
can do that. He can send troops in, he can
declare an emergency and he can send troops in, but
they're limited in what they can do. They can't do
the exact same thing that they did in Washington, d C.

(14:01):
So you're never going to get the same results there.
They have to stay on federal property. They can protect
federal land, but everybody in Chicago will tell you that's
not where the crime happens, the crime happens on the
south side, the crime happens in the city, in the
inner city. So I'm not sure. I'm not positive that

(14:30):
even though he says he's going in, that's actually going
to happen. So I don't know how this plays out
except for the fact that they have an emergency that's
not being dealt with in Chicago. Thanks for the talkback.
We will talk much more about that in the next segment.

(14:50):
I'm so glad you brought that up, as you can
see that it's something I'm passionate about. But let's talk
about a fairytale wedding, shall we? A fairy tale a
little girl who is now an influencer. When she was
a little girl, her father died in nine to eleven,
she was only three years old. Her name is Kristin Marino,

(15:14):
and her father, Kenneth Marino, served with the FDNY. And
then something magical happened at her wedding. All of these
fire trucks showed up blaring their sirens, and the fire
department came out in force, and nine firefighters lined up

(15:35):
to take the place of her father next to her
at the wedding.

Speaker 9 (15:39):
Tonap with two trucks. They were all there, and it
was just like overwhelming. I would stop crying and then
I would look at them, and then I would bawl
my eyes out again.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
She says. You know, they have video of her, and
she says she kind of remembers her dad, but you know,
she was three at the time.

Speaker 9 (15:57):
It's hard to tell if I remember him from the
stone or if I remember him from just memory. I
was a daddy's girl, and he my mom always says
like I was his prize, like he just loved me
so much.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
So anyway, it was just a wonderful scene over the weekend.
And you know, Kristen, we wish you the best, and
I know your father was looking down on heaven on
your day. Now, let's get the news at six point
thirty with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline Larry, Good Morning.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Victims of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Glen Maxwell
will speak about their abuse on Capitol Hill today. It's
the latest chapter and what's turned into the contentious investigation
into the so called Epstein Files, and former New York
City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is said to be progressing well
following his Saturday night suv crash in New Hampshire.

Speaker 10 (16:50):
Theodore Goodman, a Giuliani spokesman, who was driving the rental car.
The eighty one year old was insis. The former mayor
is recovering in New Hampshire from injuries that include broken
bones in his back. The crash happened after an suv
rear ended Giuliani's SUV after he responded to being flagged
down by a domestic violence victim. Giuliani was released from

(17:11):
the Manchester Area hospital on Monday. President Trump took to
True social on Monday, calling his now disbarred former lawyer
the greatest mayor in the history of New York City
and said he'll award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Giuliani.
Sara Lee Kessler wor News.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
Now here's someone who's thought a lot about how to
get into prison. According to Justice dot Gov, a utics
Florida man has been hit with a one count indictment
of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl by drone into a prison.
James Key, the Third Fancy, allegedly conspired with inmates to

(17:51):
introduce ventanyl and contraband cell phones into prison facilities in Florida.
California and South Carolina. Key would allegedly apply fent to
paper bundle and rapid and synthetic grass, deliver it by
drone into prisons. Now, if convicted, Key is facing up
to two decades in prison and a fine of as
much as one million dollars, And then he's got to

(18:13):
figure out how to get those drones in for himself.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
That's the worst plan in the world.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
I just don't know how he thought drones were gonna
get by everybody. But I think it's been working for
a while.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Really, how do we know how long it worked for?

Speaker 5 (18:32):
They don't say, but they may seem like that. That's
he was doing this in not only just Florida, but
California and South Carolina. Wow, And now he's caught. He
could be in prison for two decades. Who's gonna get
those drones in now? Now that James Key the third
because he was all fancy a drug d law, He's

(18:53):
going now maybe into prison and he's gonna have to
pay a million dollars. So I don't know how much
he made in this, however long he was doing this,
but it's.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, I can't believe that long. Yeah, No, it's the
dumbest plan I have ever heard of. And what would
be more embarrassing is if it actually worked for a
long amount of time. But I can't believe it did.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Yeah, the only way this could have worked, as someone
you know obviously was letting the drones. Yeah, Poppery, you
had to have somebody off.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
You have to pay off all of them. You have
to pay off like every guard did not see a drone.
C Anyway, Thanks so much, Jacqueline Carl. President Trump has
made up his mind on what to do about crime
in Chicago. Will fill you in on his plan. Next.
Our iHeartRadio Music Festival is back September nineteenth and twentieth

(20:10):
to win is right after the nine o'clock news this morning. Way,
somehow federal troops are going to go in to Chicago.
That's going to happen. Apparently ICE has already let them
know that slew of ICE officer ICE officers are going
into town. So that's definitely going to happen. Will there

(20:33):
National Guard now follow I don't know, but I'll tell
you what. At the beginning of his press conference yesterday,
Donald Trump was kind, unusually kind. There's a guy who's
been putting down day after day after day after day.
He was unusually kind to Governor Pritzker in Illinois and
saying that, you know, he really should reach out to

(20:56):
the White House for help.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
At this point, I would love to have Governor Pritzker
call me. I gained respect for him and say we
do have a problem, and we'd love you to send
in the troops because you know what, the people they
have to be protected.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Well, Governor Pritsker heard him. Let me just tell you something.
When when you have a major city like Chicago and
you depend on federal funding and a lot of what
you do, and remember he's the governor, so it's the
whole state of Illinois we're talking about. Do you really
want to alienate the president when you're hoping for funding

(21:36):
for your state, when you're hoping for resources for your state,
when you're hoping he doesn't send the National Guard and
make you a national embarrassment. Don't you think you should
be a little bit kinder to the guy. Well, Prinsker
heard about Donald Trump saying he wanted him to call

(21:57):
him and basically said, that's never going to happen.

Speaker 11 (22:01):
First, I want to address the president's unhinged remarks a
few minutes ago begging me to call him. No, I
will not call the President asking him to send troops
to Chicago. I've made that clear already.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
You know what's unhinged. What's unhinged is having a weekend
where fifty eight people are shot and eight people are
dead and saying the city's safe. That's unhinged. What's unhinged
is going out the day after a bloody Labor Day
weekend and taking a stroll along the lake again to

(22:38):
talk about how safe it is. That's unhinged. What's unhinged
is being governor of a state and not listening to
your own people, to your own party. There are now
Democrats that are saying, what is he doing if he

(22:58):
can get help for a minute, your crime problem a
crisis right now, you say, okay. Even Joe Scarborough, the
far left MSNBC host, used to be a Republican but
and then he got married to a liberal and he
got Zeka virus apparently, And so here's what he had

(23:23):
to say. I actually think that JB. Pritzker should do
something radical. I think you should pick up the phone,
call the president and say, you know, and I know
you don't have the.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
Constitutional authority to deploy the National Guard here and to
police my my.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
You can do that in DC, you can't do that
in Chicago. But let's partner up. That's Joe Scarborough. I
said zeicavirus. I meant Meka virus because he got married
to Mika Brzynski and then he became a liberal. But
listen to him. Now, listen to what he's saying. Right now.
Joe Scarborough is saying, yep, you got to get in there.

(24:02):
But Fritz Skurf again here's his little walk along the
lake shore, is saying, here's no emergency here, What emergency?
What are you talking about?

Speaker 11 (24:11):
Just a lovely day here, No emergency. So Donald Trump
understands no emergency in the city of Chicago to setting troops.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
In there's no one that believes him. He's lost the
support of his own people. They are Legion on the
news right now saying how bad it is and how
out of touch he is. Telling stories about crime in

(24:39):
their neighborhood since they were a kid.

Speaker 12 (24:42):
Southside, I mean, it's been ross so you see a
lot of crazy stuff. I mean I remember being in
a family dollar store that got robbs. You know, they
kicked in the door. They said, everybody, get down. People
they are streaming, and I was only twelve years old,
you know, And this kind of stuff that happens all
the time by a lot of people who don't live
in the areas. They don't get to see it.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Right. It's people in areas that are plagued by crime
that are afraid to go outside. There's businesses that shutter
their doors because they get robbed so much. Business owners
don't know what he's talking about, and they are pleading
for him to please let Donald Trump come in anything,

(25:23):
anything to make it safe to do business. The city's
not safe, you know.

Speaker 13 (25:27):
For the mayor and the governor to go on TV
and use us as statics, as numbers, I mean for
human beings. We're talking about real time. We have to
extra security, private security out on the street. They have
to make sure that we advise all our patrons when
they go home and check the over people can't even
walk their dogs. I mean, this isn't to believe that

(25:47):
the city is safe the way they made it sound
in the press conference.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It is wrong. See, he can talk to the nation
like that, he can say, oh, Chicago's safe, and for
people that don't know across the country, they say, well,
what's Donald Trump doing For the people that live in Chicago,
they know better, They know better, and so they're stunned

(26:11):
at the callousness of ignoring their problems. Look, Brandon Johnson,
that was a foregone conclusion. He's never gonna be marrior again.
That's why nobody's talking about him right now, because he
was a joke before this. They hated him there. I
don't know if you've seen the city council meetings where
he gets up to speak, but he gets shouted down

(26:31):
all the time. People are furious at him. Pritzker is
a guy that wanted to be president and this is
embarrassing to him as this continues. For him to ignore
what is going on in this city, for him to
come out and say and stroll along the lake shore

(26:53):
again and say this stopside. I mean it's Ben Ross.

Speaker 13 (26:58):
Just a lovely day.

Speaker 11 (27:00):
Or no emergency, sir, Donald Trump understands no emergency in
the city of Chicago.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Say and see the reason he's saying there's no emergency.
The reason he's saying that is because Donald Trump needs
an emergency to send troops in, needs an emergency to
take over. And so he's claiming that's not going to happen.
But you know what is going to happen. Absolutely, Donald

(27:26):
Trump's going in there.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, we're going in. I didn't say when we're going
in when you lose. Look, I have an obligation. This
isn't a political thing. I have an obligation.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
You know who else has an obligation, Governor Pritzker. You
know who else has an obligation, Mayor Brandon Johnson. They're
ignoring their obligation to the city. And that's the only
reason Donald Trump is going to step in. The Victims
of Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile sex ring were on Capitol Hill
to testify behind closed doors. Will tell you what happen

(28:00):
happens next when we come back and don't forget. You
can leave us a talk back all morning long. Go
to seven to ten wor on the iHeartRadio app and
click the microphone. We're coming back. Well. Today at ten thirty,
we are going to hear from the survivors of Jeffrey
Epstein who testified behind closed doors yesterday. We won't hear

(28:21):
from all of them. All of them don't want to
be out in public, all of them don't believe they
can take the scrutiny. But many of them are expected
to testify at a Oversight Committee hearing. Now, yesterday it
was behind closed doors. That's what normally happened. They call
them behind closed doors, and then they have public hearings.
It doesn't the turnaround usually isn't this quick. But apparently

(28:44):
with what happened yesterday, with this testimony, there were some
things that were said that nobody knew about, even though
they've everybody on the Oversight Committee has had all of
these documents to look through. Were some things said yesterday
that no one knew about. There were some things said

(29:04):
yesterday that we're shocking. And one of the congress people,
Paulina Luna, who is a congresswoman in Florida, very conservative
very Republican. She was shaken when she came out. She
was the first one to come out and get in
front of a microphone. Apparently she couldn't get at that
room fast enough and she didn't talk to the press

(29:26):
for long, but what she said was powerful because she
was absolutely shaken from the testimony inside.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
There are some very rich.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
And powerful people that need to go to jail.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
I think everyone's been frustrated as to why that hasn't
happened before.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
So this is a member of Congress coming out and
saying there are some people involved in this that I
just heard about from behind closed doors that should be
in jail right now. And I think that answers a
whole lot of questions, right I mean, we've been wondering
why why we haven't been able to get the files

(30:04):
when they've been promised over and over and over again.
We've been wondering why. Now thousands of pages have been released,
both by the White House and now by Congress, but
the redactions are all over them. And I believe that
the White House is really concerned about lawsuits. They don't

(30:25):
want to get tied down forever in court over lawsuits
from some of the most powerful people and some of
the most rich people in the world. They just don't
want the headache. But I'll tell you what, if these
victims want it, and we're gonna find out today. If
the victims want it, I'm with them. I think they

(30:47):
get to take the lead on this. I don't think
it matters what you think. I don't think it matters
what I think. It matters what they think. If they
want it to go away and they don't want to
be involved in this, and I know many of them do,
that's fine. If there's a significant number of them that
want justice, that feel like there's a hole in their

(31:08):
heart because they have not had justice, we need to
listen to them. Although not all of them are with
these women. There's a woman named Courtney Wilde who is
a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, and you might have seen
her in the news before. She's been on a lot,
especially early on, and now she's coming out again because

(31:30):
she said this whole thing, it's tough that it keeps
coming back. It's tough to listen to.

Speaker 14 (31:36):
For the survivors. For myself, seeing Epstein's face every day,
it really just it stops my healing journey. And kind
of puts me back into survival mode. So I understand
the trance. I try to be transparent with this whole situation.
I understand why everybody talks about this. There was such
an injustice with our government and everybody involved. We all

(31:59):
want answer. I just want just release the names, you know,
and be done with it.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
There's over a thousand victims. That's stunning even to say
a thousand young girls were used by Jeffrey Epstein and
Julie Maxwell as well. She's just as culpable in this
whole thing. I'm glad he's dead. I'm glad she's behind bars.
I hope she never gets out. But finally, now something's

(32:29):
going to happen. Finally, now for those who want justice,
at least we're moving in the right direction. And even
Speaker Johnson is on board. This is full participation of
the administration in the White House. The President has the
same desire, so long as we're protecting the innocent victims. Now,

(32:50):
you heard Thomas Massey a lot in this whole thing.
Thomas Massey is a Republican, but he is in a
district that he knows he can win without Donald Trump's support,
and so he's been out on front in this whole thing,
very very conservative, extremely conservative. And now he says, look,

(33:15):
they seem like they're being transparent at the Justice Department.
They're not releasing everything, and what they release we can't
read because of the redactions. So he has a bill,
a bipartisan bill, where they release everything unredacted to Congress
and let them take a look at it. And he

(33:37):
says that is going to happen this week after these hearings.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I haven't had time to look at all the documents
that have been released by the Oversight Committee, but I think
the scope of their investigation is such that the things
they requested aren't even going to include all the things
that we need, and the few documents that we have
been able to view are heavily redacted to the degree

(34:02):
that they wouldn't show.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Us anything new, right, And so he wants the unredacted. Now.
He said something fascinating too at the end of that statement,
because now he's pushing through with legislation and it's going
to pass too. The only thing that'll stop it is
if Speaker Johnson won't put it up for a vote,
and I don't think he wants to blowback from that.

(34:25):
So this bill is going to pass. And his big
question is, look, if they're being transparent with everything at
the White House, then why are they fighting my bill.
That's a really good question. Well, the President says he
is going to Chicago to fight crime. We've been talking
about that all morning. He says he's going in there
whether they like it or not. We're going to ask

(34:48):
high profile attorney Jeffrey Lickman what he thinks about that.
And by the way, it's a busy news day. We
have a lot of top topics to talk about with Jeffrey.
That's coming up after the seven o'clock news
