Pandemic. But lets be clear, it is a pandemic, and i labeled it so a week ago. I dont know what the World Health Organization is waiting on, and i really dont care. Were americans, and that means were not a nation of buttercups and daffodils who need to have every official word on the coronavirus pandemic sugarcoated and sweetened for public consumption. Were americans. We and every generation before us has faced threats and challenges without flinching. We will do so as well. Today there was, i believe, a new, different and stronger tone emanating from washington as the president himself met with the heads of pharmaceutical companies and challenged them to begin rapidly preparing the manufacturing of needed drugs and pharmaceutical up ingredients necessary ingredients necessary to deal with this Public Health emergency, and the stock markets roared their approval. After last weeks performance, the worst since the 2008 recession, the Dow Jones Industrials today soared almost 1300 points. Today the dow, the nasdaq and s p all hitting their largest singleday point totals in history. The dow ending up more than 5 , the nasdaq and s p up 4. 5 . The markets surging in the final hour of trading, coinciding with President Trumps meeting with those drug company executives. The president urging those executives to speed up their efforts to find a vaccine against the coronavirus. Were working very hard to expedite the longer process of developing a vaccine. Were also moving with maximum speed to develop therapies so that we can help people recover as quickly as possible. We have a lot of recovery going on. We want to see if we can advance that. Its likely that therapies will be available before a vaccine is actually ready, and well seek to bring all effective treatments to market as soon as possible. So very good work has been done on the vaccine. However, they have some good progress. Lou the president also addressing american dependency on chinese drugs, telling big pharma that we need to develop medical products here in this cup. The in this country. The coronavirus shows the importance of bringing manufacturing back to america so that we are producing at home the medicines and equipment and Everything Else that we need to protect the publics health. And ive been talking about this for a long time. That process is has already started. It started long before we ever knew about this. We want to make certain things at home. We want to be doing our manufacturing at home. Lou and joining us tonight is the president s secretary of health and human services, secretary alex azar. Hes also the chairman of the president s Coronavirus Task force. Mr. Secretary, good to have you with us. There didnt seem to be a different tone today in washington as its becoming clearer what the nation will likely face. Officials seem to be a little bit more [inaudible] than they had been. Is there really a change here . I dont know that id call it a change, id say the message remains transparent but one of confidence. What were saying is what weve been saying lou why not then call it a pandemic . Because you know very well it is. Well, in fact, i spoke today with the head of the World Health Organization, and ill give you some insight into their thinking finish. Lou im noted not interested in their thinking, to be candid with you. Youre center for your department, the nih and the cdc are responsible for the publics health. Im flighted to speak to you delighted to speak to you, sir. Well, lou, within the United States whether you call it a pandemic or you dont call it a pandemic is irrelevant. It doesnt change one single action that we would take here in the United States. Not one, lou. Just doesnt matter. Lou why not call it that and be just as straightforward lou, what does it add . What does it add . Lou you tell me, what does it subtract if you dont . Were trying to engage in careful, thoughtful Risk Communication to people, and that means as americans, and that could change. It hasnt changed because the president s bold, unprecedented actions to protect our borders and lou absolutely. But we are now seeing some limited Community Spread, it appears. Weve seen some limited persontoperson transmission of the disease, and absolutely while were on the air right now, lou, weve made an important announcement out of the fda and the cdc that should dramatically increase the availability of our n95 respirator masks for use by Health Care Professionals in the United States. So were making advances lou thats great. That is wonderful. And at the same time, do we have tests that are now available here in this country . Yes lou to the degree that we need them . Because the ratio, as i see it, theres a better ratio of testing for the coronavirus in other countries than we maintain here. Were actually screening fewer people because we dont have appropriate testing. Well, lou, we actually have a validated test. The cdc has had it, theres been no backlog since weve had that up and running. Its out in labs. Weve been increasing the availability of it. We insist on a valid test. You know, in other countries they dont have the, they dont have the same regulatory requirements for validation, and so in other countries basically a hospital or a lab can just take the recipe lou i understand, mr. Secretary, but then i dont understand why at the same time we are seeing Community Spread and we know very well that there have not been test kits available that didnt work and, in fact, the cdc had test kits but they were unworkable. Actually, lou, the tests worked. The tests work, they are validated. What happened was there were some manufacturing issues, apparently, in one stage of the test, and some labs were not able to validate it. We solved that issue. Weve gotten the lou so they were [inaudible conversations] i dont want to play games with you, and im sure you dont want with me, but when you use words like validated and then say one segment of their use was invalidated by problems, you know, it just this is not transparency well, lou, you dont want to hear it, but weve been transparent at every step of the way. There are three stages to this test that the cdc developed. The first two tests for the novel coronavirus, the third was for a form of any form any form of coronavirus that wasnt necessary. The fda concluded a week ago that wasnt necessary, the third step, that it was overkill on the test. They authorized the first two stages to be used to test, that enabled lou when did they do that, mr. Secretary . Now tens of thousands of tests out there [inaudible conversations] regulatory requirements to now allow us to get rid of an obamaera burden on labs to allow any certified clinical lab out there to develop a test based on the recipe that we have produced. That should open up hundreds and hundreds and hundreds if not millions per week of tests available, lou. Lou youre making more tests available . Yes, absolutely. Of hundreds of thousands and millions per week will be are available as a result of the regulatory relief that we granted on saturday morning out of the fda, relief from an obamaera fda requirement that required any labdeveloped test be approved by the fda. We said in this emergency situation, we are authorizing those certified labs to create their own on test based on the recipe that we have published lou you had plenty im sorry testing immediately. Lou mr. Secretary, i apologize. I apologize, but, frankly, youve just said that you had plenty, and now youre acknowledging that you didnt. I dont want to get bogged down in this, i mean, i really dont, but i do want to understand how bad is this going to get. Are we going to be talking about it what is the planning and the thinking of the Corona Task Force for the americans who are watching this broadcast who are all adults and who want to know the facts . Hardboiled, straightforward, no sugarcoating and no pedantics . Lou, were planning for all scenarios. Right now weve got a fairly limited scenario, but weve planned for the full range. Right now were working with Santa Clara County and king county in the state of washington on Community Mitigation recommendations, and thats the appropriate step to take. But you can go all the way from community to Large Community to National Mitigation steps, and well take all measures needed to protect the American People. But we dont need to do it until theyre necessary, and thats the president has taken unprecedented action. You know, these travel restrictions that he took on china, people complained about them at the time. But they protected america. They delayed this impact here in the United States significantly, and now everybodys praising him for those measures, and well continue to take bold, aggressive actions. He wont hesitate. Wed rather overreact than underreact to this situation is. Lou i am not talking about steps the president has taken, which i happen to agree with you, were with the foresight and were the exact necessary step to take. You know, as a matter of fact, ill go further, you know, this president was looking in 2017 at the dependency of this country on offshoring and across the country, the entire world, frankly, the dependency on Southeast Asia and china for supply chains. And he was talking about it three years ago. So im keenly aware of his thinking on this. And the reality is im talking about the publics right to know here. And thats quite a different thing. Absolutely. Lou i have absolute faith in the leadership. My concern is how much the American People are being told that they need to know, and that is, i think, everything. So, lou, theyre being they have been lou let me put it this way in fact, we just in 2017 updated whats called the pandemic action plan. Thats a Public Document that goes through how one deals with a pandemic lou wait a minute, did you say pandemic . That is what we prepare for, pandemic status of this lou do we have one . From active containment, through Community Mitigation, large scale Community Mitigation. All those steps, lou, everything is laid out very transparently about what the government would recommend. Also our states have, thanks to the work that i did with president bush back in the 2000s for pandemic flu preparedness, every state has pandemic plans that we exercise, that integrate into a National Pandemic action plan. As this disease progresses, and we hope it will not, but as it progresses, we will see a continued education calculation of different types escalation of different types of steps, and were going to modify those lou what are you projecting will be the number of cases in this country over the next week . Lou, i couldnt possibly predict what the number of cases over the next week will be. All i can tell you is we are going to see more cases and, unfortunately, we saw new fatalities this morning, and i fear we will, well continue to see more. Therell be an increase. But one cant predict the number of cases were going to see. No cups been able to no ones been able to predict any cases. I wish i could, i wish i could, but you cant do that. Lou okay. Well, with that, what do you think is the most important thing for the American People to know about this pandemic . In spite of how youve been describing it, lou, for Everyday Americans right now this shouldnt impact their daily lives. They should go about normal lou how did i describe it . I missed that part. How did i describe it . Youre i think youre just trying to whip people up into a frenzy here, lou lou about what . Im trying to get people to understand the government has a plan, we have steps, we exercise this. But in their daily life at this point, and that could change, at this point there isnt a change in peoples daily existence except for normal good preparedness activities, the same stuff we would have recommended six months ago. Go to cdc. Gov for recommendations of what you should have been doing all along and the kinds of steps you should take now. Were working with your communities on different mitigation approaches to plan for, we have a plan, to exercise what they would do. How do you, for instance, if you have a Community Outbreak in an area, do you close a school . Maybe theres some good mitigation steps there like you dont just have sessions in the auditorium or large scale recesses where the kids congregate. These are some learnings weve gotten through hong kong and singapore, and were using them as we work with Santa Clara County and king county out in the seattle area to help advise them as they work on the Community Containment that theyre facing now. Lou mr. Secretary, we appreciate your time. I promise not to whip anybody into anything, you know, concerned about the well, the body of Public Knowledge in a free society m i, you know, god forbid i should do that. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. Up next, new life has been breathed into the yearslong pursuit of justice for Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. Judicial watchs president tom fitton has been at the forefront of the effort. He joins us later. Also, joe biden becomes the radical dems favorite candidate once more as recent dropouts are now supporting his bid for the white house. I wonder why . Well take that up. Uhuh how will all of it how will all of it play out for Bernie Sanders and, oh, yes, Michael Bloomberg and the others remaining in the race . Well take that up with ed rollins, Michael Goodwin right of after these quick messages. Of after these quick messages. Please stay with us. Its surprising how the bigger a city gets.

Lou more positive numbers for President Trump and the economy. A gallup poll finds 50 of americans now see the United States as the worlds leading economic power compared to just 39 who see china in that role. This is the first time and this is something that Many Americans may not have been aware of, i certainly was not but since 2000, this is the first time that americans now believe the u. S. Is actually leading china economically. How about that . Well, joining us now, former Reagan White House political director, fox business political analyst, ed roll lins, blitz ed rollins and Michael Goodwin. Gentlemen, good to have you with us. How about that . For the first time, i really did not know that for 20 years americans didnt believe we were the leading economic power. It surprised me too. I, you know lou in point of fact, we have always been. Yeah. I mean, i guess there were some numbers when you total up all of their gdp, but the population differences, you know, if you did it per person lou per capita. Yeah. I mean, so i dont know lou its were number one. Thats been part of our whole world presence. Lou what do you think . Im very pleased. The gallup polls always kind of been the gold standard. The president s done very, very well in the polls of late. You look back over history, theyre the ones that are most accurate on most occasions, so i think this is a great sign for the president. Lou the gallup poll pointing out that 65 expect hill to be reelected. Thats right. Lou it goes on and on. Its all positive right now and has been for weeks. As you point out, ed. Lets talk about super tuesday and whats it all about. I think its going to be very confusing for the administration. I think Bernie Sanders would have won it easily e and may win it easily, but i think with everybody dropping out at this point in time and the Mainstream Media and the principal democrats all wanting biden to come back in the game, theyre going to ship it in a way that it doesnt spin it in a way that doesnt matter. I think its down to biden and sanders, and i think if sanders is denied, his people are going to be furious. Bidens people are the establishment, theyll go wherever they want to go, and i think bloomberg is not relevant long term. Lou he is on the ballot now, and this is going to be a real test. What does he have have to do . Well, i think he just has to keep sort of winning. I mean lou keep winning . Well, South Carolina. But i think that was, that was a start. And if he can keep that going, then i think hes got, really does have a good shot. But i still dont believe joe biden can go the distance. Lou you think South Carolina was a oneoff. Not necessarily a oneoff. Certainly, it was the most favorable state for him, and i think hell win some others tomorrow, but i dont know that he can go the distance, get the majority of delegates, go to the convention as the nominee. That just seems to me to be very much a long shot. And i think Michael Bloomberg, no matter what happens tomorrow, will probably hang around in some way because he, too, does not believe joe biden can get make the distance. Impacts on South Carolina. Since 1984 South Carolina has only once voted for a democrat, and that was jimmy carter. [laughter] lou why wouldnt every just throw the match . 60 of the state voted democrat are africanamericans, no other state quite like it, and joe biden now youre going to california where hispanics are very important, and theyre not basically going to sit down and break bread and say lets find a common goal here. Lou whos their favorite candidate . Hispanics in this country, the largest minority group. Well, right now its Bernie Sanders. So well see he did that in nevada. But before that, that was a surprise when that happened. So neither one of them, i mean, this is the most Diverse Party with the least diverse candidate list right now. The trump plan, however they got it to the democrats, theyre now going to destroy themselves between now and the convention this summer. Lou what are republicans doing to themselves . The senate, republicans coming out attacking, attacking doug collins because he chose to defy the republican establishment. Lets put that up, if we could. Since mounting husband Senate Candidacy his Senate Candidacy, doug collins own polling shows that his campaign has been in a freefall. And collins is on a selfserving, spitefueled political Kamikaze Mission that threatens to take down President Trump, said the National Republican senate committee. Well, Mitch Mcconnell controls that committee and has for many years lou thats really nasty stuff. I understand. I follow it closely. They say nasty stuff that about anyone that is not one of mcconnells show. Lou should we take it back . Get that ditch mitch picture back up again . [laughter] just understand hes got his own team, his open people, and he goes for his own candidates. Well, and the person picked whos in that seat now has been a big contributor to republican causes. And i think Mitch Mcconnell likes the idea of having a woman and a rich one at whose family can make a lot of contributions to his committee. Lou and who wins this fight . I would bet on collins. Yeah. Hes a scrappy guy. Lou and it is a state contest, after all. Yes, it is. Lou and not one thatll be decided by, i would think, the Senate Campaign committee. Lets quickly wrap this up by just taking one look at bloomberg. Hes got so much money it doesnt really matter what happens tomorrow, is that the idea . No, it does matter because what weve heard tonight, mike and i from someone on the campaign, they have bought every bit of time that you can possibly have, so if he doesnt do well tomorrow, i think youre going to start seeing him back off. Yeah. Look, i think he could easily not do well, suspend without dropping out, without endorsing biden, waiting to see whether biden can go the distance and then jump back in it looks like youve got to also try to show up at the convention if nobody has a majority. Lou weve got to run. Is the president right, are we watching the dnc and the establishment try to steal this thing from bernie again . Oh, absolutely, no question about it. Yeah. Lou its what they do, apparently ed rollins, Michael Goodwin, thank you very much, gentlemen. Up next, a big win for Judicial Watch today. A judge, a d. C. District court judge, orders Hillary Clinton to answer Judicial Watchs questions about her private email server. You remember that, bleached bytes and all sorts of stuff. Tom fitton joins us tonight. Well take it up with him. And as President Trump looks to move the timeline forward for a coronavirus vaccine, one hospital is already kicking human Clinical Trials on an antiviral drug. Dr. Mark rubbing coordinating with ruck coordinating at the University NebraskaMedical Center of were going straight to the university of nebraska to get his update. Get his update. Look into my eyes you will see what you mean to me dont tell me its not worth trying for you know its true everything i do i do it for you yeah, i would fight for you id lie for you walk the wire for you yeah, id die for you you know its true everything i do i do it for you the white house Coronavirus Task force, led by Vice President mike pence, has been meeting daily and coordinating closely with the state and local governments. We will confront this challenge together, and we will continue to do exactly what were doing, and were going to be very successful. A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening. Lou and some of the exciting things that the president is talking about, among them the first study, the first u. S. Study of an antiviral drug to treat the coronavirus, and our next guest is on the front lines. Hes, in fact, overseeing those trials, and joining us tonight from the National Quarantine center in nebraska at the university of nebraska, dr. Mark rupp. Hes the Infectious Diseases director at the university of nebraska Medical Center. Doctor, it is good to have you with us again. And appreciate your time. Lets start with, first, the prospects for the drug that you are testing and working on. Well, first of all, we have a Terrific Team here and, actually, dr. Andre khalil is spearheading those efforts here. We are in the first Clinical Trial here in the United States with a drug, and this medication is inhibiting the viral replication. Weve had one patient who has successfully received a study drug and has improved and has been transferred out of our biocontainment unit and continues to do well. Weve had four people actually in the last 48 hours get transferred out of the quarantine unit and on their way home. So were very pleased with how things are going. Lou well, thats very encouraging. And your sense of the president , obviously, is leading the nation, directing as much as any president could the effort to come up with a antiviral drug, a vaccine as quickly as possible. Is it your sense that what are the limits to actually accelerating those efforts in such a complex effort . Well, we certainly welcome improved federal resources try to speed up to effort. Clearly, developing a vaccine is going to take some time, even in the best of circumstances to prove that something is, first, safe andal effective is going to take a number of months. Were hopeful that some of the drug trials that, again, as has been mentioned were already in progress, may be able to give us a leg up and some Therapeutic Options is sometime here in the near future. Lou and you talked about the four who have recovered, if you will. What appears to you to be the recovery rate generally, if one can speak generally in the Coronavirus Infection and outbreak . Well, i think were learning a lot yet with this virus and the outbreak. Clearly, theres a full continuum of cases, everything from relatively mild, minimal symptom disease all the way up through very severe disease. And as your viewers know, even death. Lou right. The things that seem to be most influencing peoples poor outcome is those folks who are greater in age and those who have underlying comorbid conditions, so underlying respiratory disease, cardiac disease, immune know suppressive disorders. Lou and i dont think any american has to i think were all keenly aware that those preexisting conditions, if you will, chronic conditions that are debilitating, compromised em moon systems for immune systems for whatever reason and Older Americans are at severe risk here. Ive also heard that there hasnt been a single case, thats at least one report, of anyone under the age of 14 being severely afflicted with this disease. Is that true . As far as you know . Yes, that seems to be the case, that people who are younger in age and particularly pediatric age patients dont seem to have much in the way of symptoms and certainly not nearly the amount of severe disease that weve seen with older people. Its very much like older folks would have experience with influenza. So those same people who are at highest risk of complications with flu seem to be exactly the same population at highest risk from this coronavirus. Lou well, thats all good news. Is there anything else that we should all know about your efforts and this pandemic, whether considered official yet or in prospect . Well, i think theres a lot of things that people should start to do that are just common sense preparatory efforts. So, again, getting in the habit of not touching your face so that you dont selfinoculate, washing your hands, avoiding sick people, simple things like touching Elevator Buttons with your knuckle instead of the tip of your finger. Lots of Little Things like that, stocking up at home with medications and being able to stay home from work or school for a few days if you need to. Lou dr. Mark rupp, we thank you for all youre doing and congratulations on all youve already done. Tom fitton is next, its all about Hillary Clinton and that email server of hers. Stay with us, well be right back. As a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. At liberty butchemel. Cut. Liberty mu. Line . Cut.

Lou breaking news tonight, senator n johnson says hes planning his first subpoena related to his investigation of hunter biden and burisma. Senator johnson wants to bring in a former consultant for blue star strategies, thats a firm founded by two former staffers of the clinton administration. In a letter senator johnson says he has records that indicate blue star sought to leverage Hunter Bidens role as a board member of burisma in order to gain access to and influence matters at the u. S. State department. Meanwhile, Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham still hasnt held a single hearing on anything that he has promised to investigate and up numerous times. Often numerous times. This weekend senator graham tweeted his congratulations to his, apparently, good friend joe biden for his victory ins primary. If a a d. C. District court judge today ordered the deposition of Hillary Clinton in a Judicial Watch lawsuit. The former secretary of state will have to answer questions under oath about her emails and benghazi attack documents. Judge Royce Lambert stated the following the in his ruling, quote the state department has thus failed to persuade the court that all of secretary clintons recoverable emails have been located. This is unacceptable. Joining us tonight, tom fitton, president of jewish is additional watch. And, tom, congratulations on this ruling and your thoughts about where this goes now. This is not the first time that a judges has said proceed. It is, its striking that its in a d. C. Federal court, district court. Yes, and its over the objections of the Justice Department and the state department. They were in court in december against us on this very issue trying to shut the inquiry down. We got one or two attorneys on our side, im sitting there on the other side theres six borne attorneys with the government and four lawyers for Hillary Clinton and her aides. And thankfully, the judge overruled the objections to further questioning here because we have had more evidence come out as a result of discovery in this case. This is the case, by the way, lou, that broke open the clinton email scandal way back in 2015. Its about the benghazi talking points. And, you know, the judge wants to know what was Hillary Clinton thinking when she was using this system as it relates to the freedom of information act, he wants to know whether there are document issues related to benghazi. And her top aide, cheryl mills, also has to be questioned. He also authorized us to subpoena google because theres this issue about whether one of her email aides or vendors had sent all of her emails to a google account. So this is a broadening inquiry. Its limited in scope. We cant get to ask ever question on the, under the sun we might want to. But its remarkable that, a, the Justice Department and state department oppose this. Lou the state department and the Justice Department . Yeah. They were all in there yelling at about it. [laughter] every, every effort we made to get more answers, theyve opposed. Lou on what grounds, if i may inquire . I mean, i hate to seem stunned, but to see this Justice Department again trying to shut down an inquiry into a matter that is far from settled certainly in the view of the public is remarkable. Well, they suggested the extraordinary circumstances necessary for discovery and questioning witnesses under oath hadnt been met by the clinton email scandal. They didnt think it was serious enough. They felt all the questions had been answered and, obviously, the court disagreed. Were getting more testimony we just got a benghazi email showing they had a benghazi email for years. Theyre holding back. If it had been disclosed, the whole email scandal would have been disclosed years ago. And then the fbi and state department are dribbling out more clinton emails. The judge is upset with the way this has been handled by the state department and the Justice Department, he thinks Hillary Clinton can provide more information because she has answered questions in oath, but in writing to us, and from the judges point of view that hasnt been sufficient, and we should be able to question her directly, our attorneys will, and follow up directly with her in person. So this is a straightforward case in many respects. Whats remarkable is the obstruction weve been facing from this administration. The president said i tweeted about this from one of our last appearances. He said it was a disgrace that the Justice Department was still defending Hillary Clinton. And well see what happens next. We have to get it done within 75 days, lou. Lou well, good luck, and the country desperately, desperately needs the know the answers to the questions youre going to pose. And good for judge lambert for standing up for justice of all things. Let me turn to Lindsey Graham congratulating joe and jill biden on their South Carolina victory. And still, still has not done anything about investigating the bidens and burisma, the entire ukrainian quagmire. Why not . I dont know why not. This is why we have Judicial Watch, because this is the work we do, because we dont rely on the senate or congress. The senates designed to suppress straw investigations and, unfortunately, the leadership of the Republican Party doesnt want to change the rules to allow them to more easily bring in witnesses under oath. Its not like the house where majority rules, they operate by consensus in the senate even though the laws or the rules dont necessarily that. And so as a result, nothing much ever gets done. This is why i think the president should appoint a special counsel, independent, the Justice Department, the fbi and, frankly, congress, and order full transparency by his agencies so the American People can see the information as opposed to relying on the hapless congress or, in many ways, the coconspirators in congress with the deep state to find out the truth. Theyre usually involved either in covering it up, or theyre uninterested in finding it, or they really dont know what to do. Well, tom, i have to say lou well, tom, i have to i to say i support your idea of the special counsel because i share, as you know, Judicial Watchs opinion of the publics right to know. But i have to admit theres a small, petty insignificant particle of pettiness that would like to see the delicious moment at which the sikhs a special counsel on someone sics a special counsel on someone else. It would be somewhat ironic justice. Tom fitton, thank you so much, as always. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight. Which candidate will win super tuesday . Joe biden, Bernie Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, President Trump . Cast your vote on twitter loudobbs wed like to hear from the you.

Well, there you are. The International Center for Radio Astronomy Research claims the explosion took place at the center of a galaxy far, far, far away, 390 million light years from earth to be more specific. The discovery made using two telescopes in orbit around the earth, two on the ground in australia and one in india. Researchers say the source of the eruption is the black hole in the center of a galaxy cluster. Extraordinary stuff.

Lou a little news story on wall street, all three major indexes reaching the biggest singleday point gain ever. The s p up 136, the nasdaq up 385. Volume just 6. 5 billion shares. By the way, the rally coinciding with the president s meeting with the ceos of pharmaceutical companies, telling them to get a move on. We need a vaccine and all those antivirals. And a reminder, listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. A new law in new york state locking federal immigration officials out of their department of Motor Vehicle databases. Amazingly, new york state continues to share that information with canadian Law Enforcement. Amazing. Its just amazing, to take all of this up now we are joined by the acting director of immigration and Customs Enforcement, matt albence. Matt, its great to have you with us, and this is a stunning story. What can you do about this . I mean, they give it to canada but not to our immigration and Customs Enforcement . Thanks for having me, lou. Its really incredible. We have our officers and agents out this putting their lives on the line every day investigating human traffickers, drug smugglers, individuals that are involved in child exploitation, terrorism cases, yet weve been frozen out of the most basic of information which we need to do our job. I mean, if theres anything we learned from 9 11, the 9 11 Commission Report put it out themselves, there was information out there, it was our inability to connect the dots and share that information which was part of the problem. Yet here we have a situation where you have the state of new york passed a law with a pre9 11 mentality, and were in a post9 11 world. This is dangerous. Lou its dangerous, its frustrating to american citizens. By the way, you know, irrespective of race, creed, you national origin. I mean, we want a secure country, and we want our people to be secure. We do not want what happened, i mean, this story about i. C. E. And a 3yearold child, a chicago mcdonalds being raped in a restroom in a chicago mcdonalds because they refused to turn over the predator to i. C. E. This is, what are the consequences . Its really incredible. I wish i could e say that was an isolated incident, but its not. In fact, weve seen in new york just back in december we had an individual that new york state, the new york police had in custody for stabbing his father in the with a coffee mug, and they released him. And weeks later he goes out and kills and rapes a 92yearold woman. An innocent victim. This is something that has played out time and time again. These sanctuary jurisdictions and these noncooperation laws are dangerous to the is citizens of this country. Lou mattal men, were going to continue this conversation just after these quick words from our sponsors. Stay with us, well be right when you think of miami you think of,you know,rich,glamour but 5 miles away from the beach theres people who have never seen a beach. I was confused why somebody was in this situation especially in america. Music oooh,oooh,oooh so when i started joshuas Heart Foundation it was a key thing to be able to engage youth in the foundation. To help them participate. Music oooh,oooh,oooh i think passing on the torch and lighting a new flame in another person to do good is probably the point of the Bigger Missions i have. Music aha,aha,aha so we are each making a bigger difference. Music oooh,oooh,oooh thats it just giving back and producing love for everybody. Lou were back with matt aal benz, and, matt, when will i. C. E when will dhs start withdrawing money . When will the administration started hadding back holding back money from sang i sanctuary cities, each states . Well, we got a significant win in the Second Circuit just last week. So i think thats something that looking at. Its unconscionable to give these jurisdictions hundreds of millions of dollars every year only for them to snub their nose at us and not cooperate with us. The point of that money is to cooperate together so that we can utilize all of our authorities to keep our communities safe. Lou mattal benz, we thank you for boeing exactly that and all of the agents at immigration and custom enforcement. Thank you so much. Thank you, lou. Lou thanks for being with us tonight.
