Speaker 1 (00:00):
So after the Minnesota shooting, some of the states are
more tightly guarding officials personal information, and you know, you
would think and man, we are we reactionary as a
society or what?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, I mean that's seems to be the case anyway.
Point being just after the top of the hour, ABC
News law enforcement contributor, retired senior Secret Service agent Don
Mahallack will join us, and yeah, it's it's going to
be interesting the type of things as we move forward
that they're going to, you know, attempt to put into place.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
But you're talking about a well that's a.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Huge undertaking, you know, to try to do that on
a national scale.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And at what level do you have that does the
public have a right to know about their elected officials?
I mean, like how much information are you going to
try to keep from voters?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Right essentially?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, all right, let's grab all right, Congressman
Jim Jordan is joining us.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Now, Hey, Congressman, how.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Are you fine? Guy? It's gonna be with you.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Mark, Hey, thanks very much for joining us today.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So I wanted to start with getting your thoughts on
what we're seeing clearly happening with Israel and Iran and
you know all of the everything surrounding all of this,
you know, Trump leaving the G seven early to take
care of quote unquote important matters.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
We started the show and we were talking about this,
and I was saying, you know, I have a nineteen
year old Josephine, and last night she was Congressman.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
When I tell you, she was not quite like.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Inconsolable, but she is really really worried about, you know,
everything going on right now. And she was saying, Dad,
are we going to get like as nuclear war going
to happen to us? And I mean she's and I said,
where are you hearing this stuff? And she's like, it's
all over social media. I said, you know what, there's
(01:54):
your problem. Stop looking at TikTok. You know, I'm like, man,
I Congressman, I'm like reading her the on Honey, you
cannot look at this stuff because they're all about making
you go, oh my gosh. I got to open this
because they get a click then or whatever out of it.
But so what are your thoughts with this? I mean,
we know where there are you know, enriching uranium there
(02:16):
in the Iran area, and you know what, it's a
several hundred feet down according to reports and so on.
Should we get involved the bunker busters and should we
be taking out their top leadership.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
There's all these questions.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It seems like that's kind of the questions going around
on talk radio today.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I mean, first of all, God bless Israel. I mean,
they I support the action they've they've taken. You know,
I think the Prime Minister pri Mister Nanaha probably says
it best when he says, I ran it hasn't been
shy about what their objective is. I mean, they've said
what they want to do to the state of Israel,
so Israel cannot allow and frankly, we don't want Israel.
(02:56):
The United States are student. The United States is the
one I ran to to get, you know, a nuclear weapon.
So you know, I'm I'm I'm glad Israel's taking this action.
I think, frankly we were. There was a group of
US in Israel back in February. I was I thought
this might happen sooner than it did, and we come
(03:17):
back from there and I you know, I thought maybe
this would happen sooner based on just just just sort
of the sense you get as you talked with leaders
there in that country. But yeah, there's no And remember
I ran once to do to us what they want
to do to Israel. These people that run that country
are really bad and we all know that. So I
appreciate what Israel's done and I support them one hundred
(03:39):
percent and taking the actions that they did.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I mean, this is a this is an enormous decision
that President Trump has to decide here, and I know
he's consulting, and there's many many people involved and a
lot of a lot of thinking, you know, going into this,
especially if we are to get involved on you know,
the well a level that we're not involved at this
(04:02):
point kind of a thing, and you know, it's the tough,
tough decisions. Yesterday, he tweets out A ram should have
signed the deal. I told him to sign. What a
shame and waste of human life. Simply stated Iran cannot
have nuclear weapon. I set it over and over again.
Everyone should immediately evacuate to Iran. And we saw footage
I did. I saw some news footage where it looked
(04:24):
like miles of traffic. People are they're they're running like,
for lack of a better comparison, cockroaches. When the lights
come on, people are they're getting out of there and
they're heating that warning. And you know the difference too,
during this as we're watching, Israel's hitting the military interests there,
whereas Iran is just they just want to kill Jews.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
They just want to kill the people, the population.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And it is it's so vastly different the way that
they're approaching this.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah. Now again, I think it's why I so agree
with Israel. I mean, when you go there, I traveled
there there six you go there, you're just struck by
the miracle that that country is. You know that they've
they've built this country since nineteen forty eight, when they
and all the things they've overcome, the sixty seven war,
seventy three war, all what happened a year and a
(05:13):
half ago in October seventh, and terrible stuff that took
place in This is an amazing country and amazing people.
God bless them for taking this action. I think this action,
I think, uh, I think the president's right and Iran
can't have a nucer weapon, and I agree with that position,
that digital position, and they can't work where with you know,
(05:34):
if we help them make sure that doesn't happen. I
agree with that that position as well.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Absolutely, you know, switching gears here in advance. Bolter and
federal custody now facing murder stalking charges in the shooting
death of former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hartman and her
husband Mark. And you know, this whole that whole story,
the way it's playing out.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I mean, do you have thoughts on that?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I mean, clearly, this is something as you know what
you do and and what all of your your your
colleagues do, and you know, I I guess it's part
of the inherent risk as you know what you guys
do for for the country and for us. And we're man,
we're forever grateful for the sacrifices.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That you guys give for you know, what you do.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
But I mean, what types of thoughts when you saw
this whole thing play out and how the links that
this guy went to with the police car there and
you know, mascarading as a I mean, it's it's so sick.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's terrifying though.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, no, it's it's it is sick. And this guy
was obviously a sick individual to do what he did.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And and you know, your heart goes out to the
to the family of the people who were attacked and
the people who lost their lives, but the to the
to the other quite Look, I'll be honest, I don't
do my job as any more important than yours. I mean,
there's the people I get the privilege of representing. We all.
We've got jobs and tasks to do in life. I
(07:03):
don't pretend that mine's any more important. I get the privilege.
In the history of our country, there've only been about
twelve thousand individuals who've had the privilege of serving in
the United States Congress, and so that's how I view it.
It's a privilege. We try to do everything we can
to be safe when we're doing that, because you know,
obviously we get all kinds of threats as well. I
(07:23):
just try not to talk about it, but take action
and try to protect ourselves and our family as best
we can. But I don't pretend that other individuals don't
have to do the same kind of thing. So we'll
see how it goes. I appreciate so much the Capital
believes and what they do for us, just what they
do when we're in DC, and then the information they
(07:44):
give us and the help they provide us with other
law enforcement when we're back in back in Ohio or
when I'm traveling around the country, and we appreciate that.
But it's just tragic and terrible what took place up
in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah, no question about that. All right.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, God bless you and all of our Congress and
all that you guys do. And it is very important
what you do, and I like you. You know, that's
part of I think your success too, is the humbleness
with which you just exhibited there or whatever. But we
can't thank you enough for that. And and thanks for
jumping on with us today. Appreciate it, you bet.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Thanks for you guys do to take care of.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yep, all right, we'll see you there. He is Congressman
Jim Jordan. There's a lot, there's so much that he
constantly is having to do, and it's really cool that
he jumps on with us every week now for like
a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I mean, it's great that he wants to be that
in touch with the people in his district because that's
when he comes on he is.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, and that's and it's, like I just said, it's
exhibited that. That's why part of the connection he likes
to have with yeah, with you know, a Congressional District
four here.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
In the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Beautiful area, man, yes, it is beautiful area.
So after the Minnesota shooting, some of the states are
more tightly guarding officials personal information, and you know, you
would think and man, we are we reactionary as a
