ELIZABETH: SUCH AN INTERESTING
STORY, THANK YOU SO MUCH,
CONNELL McSHANE.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW FLORIDA
CONGRESSMAN GREG STUEBE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WE’LL MOVE ON TO THIS.
LOCAL MAYORS IN TOWNS IN
ILLINOIS SLAMMING THE ILLINOIS
DEMOCRATS INCLUDING THE
GOVERNOR, FOR A HORRIBLE NEW LAW
THAT ELIMINATES CASH BAIL, FOR A
WHOLE LIST OF VIOLENT CRIME LIKE
BURGLARY, ARSON AND KIDNAPPING.
WHAT IS YOUR COMMENT ON THIS.
>> TO COINCIDENCE IN THE RISING
CRIME IN DEMOCRAT LED CITIES.
PEOPLE ARE OUTCRYING.
THEY DON’T WANT SOFT-ON-CRIME
POLICIES.
AND THEY WANT PEOPLE PAYING FOR
CRIMES THEY’RE COMMITTED.
WE’RE SEEING HUGE INCREASE IN
CRIME IN DEMOCRAT LET CITIES AND
STATES BECAUSE OF SOFT-ON-CRIME
POLICIES.
REPUBLICANS DON’T STAND FOR
THAT.
WE STAND FOR POLICIES THAT
REQUIRE PEOPLE TO DO THE TIME,
FOR THE CRIMES THAT THEY COMMIT.
ELIZABETH: LET’S WATCH THE MAYOR
OF ORLAN PARK IN ILLINOIS GO
AFTER DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR PRITZKER
FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT
RESIDENTS DO DESERVE SAFETY.
WATCH THIS?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SOMEONE
WOULD WANT THIS.
IT CLEARLY PUTS CITIZENS AND
POLICE OFFICERS AT RISK IN THE
FAVOR OF CRIMINALS WHO ARE
VIOLENT AND PUTS US ALL AT RISK.
HE IS NOT LISTENING TO US ON
THIS.
HISTORICALLY HE DOESN’T REALLY
LISTEN TO ANY OF US.
HE DOES WHAT HE FEELS LIKE.
DID THE SAME THING THROUGH COVID
AND DIDN’T LISTEN TO US.
IT IS NOT A SURPRISE HE IS NOT
LISTENING.
ELIZABETH: HOW IS HE NOT
LISTENING?
GALLUP SAYS A MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS ARE WORRIED A GREAT
DEAL ABOUT CRIME, AT ITS HIGHEST
IN SIX YEARS?
>> THIS WILL BE A HUGE ISSUE IN
MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS CARE
ABOUT CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
THEY LIVE IN TO BE SAFE AROUND
DEMOCRATS DON’T CARE FOR THAT.
KAMALA HARRIS HERSELF WAS
BAILING PEOPLE OUT OF JAIL
DURING THE LAST SUMMER WHERE
PEOPLE WERE RIOTING.
THAT IS NOT THE TYPE OF POLICIES
THE AMERICANS SUPPORT.
THAT WILL BE ON THE AGENDA AND
ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER.
I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
STAND FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.
ELIZABETH: EVEN HARVARD
UNIVERSITY IS PUTTING OUT A
STUDY.
IT IS FINDING THE COP SHORTAGE
IN THE U.S. IS SO BAD IN U.S.
CITIES IT IS EVEN LOWER PER
CAPITA THAN FRANCE, GERMANY,
BELGIUM AND ITALY.
THAT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
PRESENCE ON U.S. STREETS IS FAR
BELOW OF JAPAN, NETHERLANDS,
NORWAY AND SWITZERLAND.
>> IF YOU’RE SOMEBODY THAT IS
INTERESTED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
ARE YOU GOING TO GO INTO THE
FORCE UNDER THE CURRENT
ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT IS DEFUND
THE POLICE?
THERE IS NOT SUPPORT FOR OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS?
MY FATHER’S A FORMER SHERIFF.
MY BROTHER STILL ON THE FORCE IN
MANATEE COUNTY.
HE WILL RETIRE SOON AS HE HAS
THE ABILITY TO DO THAT BECAUSE
THERE IS NOT SUPPORT IN THE
COMMUNITY FOR THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
THERE IS IN PLACES LIKE FLORIDA
BUT NOT IN THESE OTHER CITIES.
THAT IS HAVING A HUGE
DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON THE SAFETY
AND SECURITY OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
I THINK THAT WILL BE ON THE
BALLOT IN NOVEMBER.
ELIZABETH: CONGRESSMAN, COPS AND
FIREMEN, THEY HAVE ALSO HAD TO
DEAL WITH VACCINE MANDATES,
RIGHT?
THEY HAVE BEEN, THE WAY THAT
THEY HAVE BEEN ADMINISTERED HAS
BEEN SO UNEVEN AND UNFAIR.
IN FACT A NEW YORK CITY JUDGE
JUST TOSSED THAT OUT AND SAID
NYPD COPS CANNOT BE FIRED OVER
THAT.
THE FIRST RULING OF ITS KIND.
WATCH AGAIN FORMER NEW YORK CITY
FIRE DEPARTMENT CAMPAIGN BRENDAN
FOGARTY ON THIS.
>> I WAS A CAPTAIN FOR THE
NEW YORK CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I SERVED FOR 20 YEARS AND I WENT
FROM BEING ESSENTIAL TO BEING
DISPOSABLE FROM THE MANDATES.
I GAVE MY BEST YEARS TO THIS
CITY, 20 YEARS, FROM 21 TO 41.
THEN THEY TAKE IT AWAY.
AT THE PEAK OF MY EARNING
CAREER.
I MADE IT TO CAPTAIN.
I WAS ALLOWED TO WORK IN THIS
CITY BUT I WASN’T ALLOWED TO EAT
IN A RESTAURANT!
IN THIS CITY.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I WAS ALLOWED TO WORK THROUGH
THE PANDEMIC BUT I WASN’T
ALLOWED TO EAT IN A RESTAURANT!
I COULD WEAR THE UNIFORM, GO TO
BURNING BUILDING BUT NOT EAT
HERE.
WHEN IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
TRUST THE SCIENCE.
YOU GUYS ARE [BLEEP]ED UP.
ELIZABETH: HE GOT CHEERS FOR
THAT.
PEOPLE GOT CHILLS LISTENING TO
IT.
THERE IS SO MUCH COMMON SENSE IN
THAT CONGRESSMAN.
HE IS A 20 YEAR VET.
THEN HE WAS SUDDENLY DEEMED NON
ESSENTIAL?
>> YEAH HE SAID IT BETTER THAN I
EVER COULD.
THANKFULLY WE HAVE PEOPLE LIKE
THAT WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY IN
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OR POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
THANKFULLY IN FLORIDA WE DON’T
HAVE POLICIES LIKE THAT, WHICH
IS WHY PEOPLE ARE FLOCKING TO
THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
WE DOESN’T HAVE VACCINE
MANDATES.
WE SHOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO HAVE
THOSE DECISIONS.
IT IS HAVING A HUGE DETRIMENT ON
LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIREFIGHTERS,
BECAUSE OF THE MANDATES IN ALL
THE DIFFERENT CITIES.
ELIZABETH: WE’VE BEEN REPORTING,
CONGRESSMAN, YOU’VE BEEN ON
ABOUT, THE PLUMMETING RATE OF
ARRESTS IN THE U.S.
BARELY HALF OF MURDER CASES IN
THE U.S. GET SOLVED.
THE NATIONAL HOMICIDE CLEARANCE
RATE IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW,
ACCORDING TO THE FBI.
SO THIS IS A FALLOUT OF
DEMOCRATS DEFUND THE POLICE AND
POLICIES THAT HAVE HIT U.S.
CITIES REALLY HARD.
FINAL WORD?
>> IN HOMICIDES ARE AT A RECORD
HIGH IN SOME OF THESE CITIES.
VIOLENT CRIME IS AT A RECORD
HIGH IN SOME OF THESE CITIES.
RHETORIC HAS CONSEQUENCES.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT DEFUNDING
THE POLICE, YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN
WHO WANT TO SERVE ARE NOT
WILLING TO GO IN AND SERVE.
