Short filmTranscript
00:00President Trump meeting this morning with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, both in Rome for Pope Francis' funeral.
00:07Afterwards, the president said maybe Russian President Putin doesn't want to end the war in Ukraine.
00:13He's expressing new skepticism that the sides can reach a peace deal soon.
00:17We'll have much more on that ahead, but first, the FBI arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge Friday
00:23for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade ICE agents at the courthouse.
00:27The Mexican National was in court facing three misdemeanor battery charges for allegedly beating up two people.
00:33Welcome to Fox News Live. I'm Rich Edson.
00:36More protests are expected in Wisconsin as Democrats are ripping the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan.
00:41Caroline Elliott is live with more on this developing story. Caroline?
00:46Hi, Rich. Well, in the last two days, federal authorities have arrested two indifferent judges, both now facing charges related to obstruction.
00:55So we'll start right here in the Midwest first with Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan.
01:01The criminal complaint says Judge Dugan knew ICE agents were going to arrest an undocumented migrant after his court hearing,
01:08so she decided to step in. His name is Eduardo Flores Ruiz, and he's an undocumented migrant from Mexico facing battery charges.
01:17In part of the complaint, investigators say the judge took him through a door, which leads to a private area of the courthouse.
01:24Ruiz then made it outside, and ICE agents had to chase him down the street.
01:30Federal agents arrested Judge Dugan Friday morning, and her attorney says she, quote,
01:35wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest, adding, quote,
01:40it was not made in the interest of public safety.
01:43U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says thankfully no one was hurt.
01:47She put the lives of our law enforcement officers at risk.
01:52She put the lives of citizens at risk, a street chase, which is absurd that that had to happen.
01:59But yes, she put a lot of people at danger.
02:02In New Mexico, former Judge Joel Cano also in the defendant's seat.
02:07He's charged with tampering with evidence in the investigation of his alleged harboring of an undocumented migrant.
02:13Cano resigned last month after federal agents raided his home and took into custody this alleged member of Trende Aragua
02:22and two other Venezuelan men who had been staying on Cano's property.
02:27Judge Cano says he saw no signs of gang affiliation, and in a letter to the New Mexico Judicial Standards Commission,
02:33he says, quote, I cannot help but feel that the capture of these boys is just another unfortunate addition
02:40to the current nationwide effort to apprehend, detain, and deport anyone not born in the U.S.
02:47Meantime, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says both of these arrests should go to show that no one is above the law.
02:53Rich.
02:54Caroline Elliott live for us this morning.
02:56Caroline, thank you.
02:57For more on this, let's bring in former federal prosecutor Andrew Tchaikovsky, who's live for us today.
03:01Andrew, thanks for joining us.
03:03The attorney general has been very outspoken detailing what exactly what happened or what the allegations are on what happened a couple of days ago.
03:11Here she is laying out what happened with this judge and the migrant.
03:18Judge finds out.
03:20She goes out in the hallway, screams at the immigration officers.
03:23She's furious, visibly shaken, upset, sends them off to talk to the chief judge.
03:29She comes back in the courtroom, you're going to believe this, takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers, takes them out of private exit and tells them to leave.
03:38Those are the allegations.
03:40The judge says she'll be exonerated.
03:41But have you ever heard of a judge doing anything like this?
03:46Well, judges are not above the law and they have an obligation to follow the law just like any other civilian would in a similar situation.
03:53We also have to remember that in our three co-equal branches of government, there's checks on each other.
03:59It's the president and the executive's job to enforce the laws faithfully.
04:04It's not actually the judiciary's job to do that.
04:07It's their job to decide cases and controversies.
04:10And so when you see a judge like this, who clearly seems to be a remarkably activist judge, who went out into the hallway to try to intervene, who was very worked up about it and then allegedly took these extra steps to help evade the federal agents that were there.
04:27She went far beyond her role in the judiciary to essentially, in a courtroom, put checks and balances on the executive.
04:36It is now the executive who is in, I think, a very righteous position to be to be prosecuting her for something that any civilian in America should be prosecuted for if they stand in the way of federal agents trying to enforce immigration policy.
04:53Yeah, a number of Democrats are saying, look, the administration's arresting judges now.
04:56Where does it stop?
04:57But this appears to be something that had nothing to do with the case for the defendant.
05:02He was appearing before her dealing with allegations of battery on a couple of different people, whether they were proven or not.
05:08This has nothing to do with his immigration status, right?
05:11Well, it seems kind of wild to me that judges in a courthouse would somehow think that it's their job to help someone evade the law.
05:20They're in the courthouse to answer to the law.
05:22And whether that's because they were there for one issue and they have another issue pending, people at courthouses get arrested all of the time when the police find out that perhaps they have additional warrants on them.
05:34So they treat this courthouse like it's some sort of safe harbor.
05:38And in fact, that's where the law is supposed to be being enforced and being done so in a faithful manner.
05:45So it's very troubling that this judge would go out of her way, as is alleged here, to intervene and to try to make it more frustrating for these federal agents.
05:55Now, this story just blew up in the last few days.
05:57But this type of thing created by sanctuary laws has been happening around the country for years now, where federal agents try to show up, work with local judicial systems when they've got illegal immigrants in custody and they're just turned away, right?
06:11Yes.
06:12I mean, we deal with sanctuary cities and their courthouses all across America where and not just their courthouses, but any sort of government type buildings.
06:22And there's this great battle that seems to be continuing to brew about whether officials in these types of sanctuary type cities can try to make it more difficult for federal agents to enforce the law.
06:38They simply cannot.
06:39Tom Homan is on the record over and over and over again saying that anybody who tries to interfere will be arrested and held to answer to the law for this.
06:48And so I think that it's very important that sanctuary cities understand that they are dealing in a fiction that doesn't exist.
06:54And you certainly cannot interfere.
06:57Some of the criticism from those who support the judge say that you didn't need to be arrested here, even if you want to have some sort of judicial complaint against her or you want to file actual criminal charges.
07:07You didn't have to go through the thing and put her in cuffs.
07:09Do you think that was a bit much?
07:11I think that the judiciary has gone to the extreme in how they handle President Trump and his entire administration.
07:20I think that we can talk for hours if we wanted to about the lawfare that's going on.
07:25And so to essentially put the glove on the other hand and say, you know, the judiciary and judges are going to be held to the highest standard is absolutely, I think, fair.
07:35When, again, we talk about the the co-equal branches of government, they're going to do it to President Trump.
07:41You know, he always says hit back twice as hard.
07:43I don't see this as hitting back twice as hard.
07:45This is just the same level playing field.
07:49You know, even some in law enforcement have said when you start apprehending those for not being in the country illegally at places like courthouses, then they're just not going to show up.
07:57Should there be a limit to when federal agents should use their discretion on showing up?
08:03Let's say, make sure that if someone who's here illegally is a witness in a criminal case, maybe you shouldn't be picking them up at a courthouse.
08:10I don't think particularly so, actually.
08:13I mean, the law is there and must be enforced.
08:16Again, it is the executive and the president's job to faithfully execute the laws of the nation.
08:21And so if the law is written in such a manner that when federal agents become aware of somebody who is committing a crime or here illegally, they have to enforce that.
08:31Now, if the law were to change to say that there are certain spots like courthouses where arrests can't be made or people can't be looked into in those locations, perhaps that's a different story.
08:39But the law of the land is that the federal agents who find out that that somebody is in violation, they must enforce it.
08:49So I don't see any reason why they should be arbitrarily trying to kind of give passes here or there for any reason, actually.
08:58Andrew Tchaikovsky, thanks for joining us today.
09:07The Vatican held Pope Francis's funeral mass today.
09:10Leaders from around the world attended.
09:12Now the church turns to selecting a new pontiff.
09:15Connor Hanson is live for us in St. Peter's Square.
09:17Hi, Connor.
09:19Hi, Rich.
09:21The funeral and the procession have ended, but there are still thousands of people here around St. Peter's Square.
09:28You can see some of the crowds right behind me.
09:31Some of these people waited hours this morning, in some cases even camping out on the sides of the streets, all just to catch a glimpse of this historic funeral.
09:41The Vatican says around a quarter million people were here in the area of St. Peter's Square.
09:47There was another 150,000 people along the procession route, along with members of the clergy.
09:54Dozens of world leaders and royals looked on, including President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
10:01Former President Joe Biden also made the trip as a private citizen.
10:06Before his death, Pope Francis requested a more simple funeral than past popes.
10:11That personal reflection was not lost on those gathered in the crowd.
10:15It was really a beautiful experience.
10:19It was clear that so many people really loved Pope Francis and the legacy he left for us, and not only for the church, for religious and lay people and all of the world.
10:29Pope Francis' coffin was brought to his final resting place in a procession past some of Rome's landmarks, like the Forum and the Colosseum.
10:41St. Mary Major was a special place to the late pontiff.
10:45He often visited to pray to a shrine of the Virgin Mary, who he was particularly devoted to throughout his life.
10:52Francis is the first pope buried there in more than 350 years.
10:56Waiting for him there in a private burial ceremony, some of the less fortunate, who Francis made a point out of helping throughout his papacy, including victims of human trafficking and prisoners.
11:08Now there will be nine days of mourning around the world before a conclave will likely begin, with cardinals coming together to select the next pope.
11:19Rich.
11:19Connor Hanson, live for us in St. Peter's in Vatican City.
11:22Connor, thank you.
11:26President Trump holding that one-on-one meeting with the Ukrainian President Zelensky at the Vatican this morning, just before Pope Francis' funeral.
11:34Madeline Rivera is at the White House with more.
11:37Hey, Madeline.
11:37Hey, good afternoon, Rich.
11:38Those photos between President Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky are remarkable.
11:43When you think about the fact that the last time these two people met in person was right here in the Oval Office back in February, where they had that infamous spout.
11:51So today's meeting appeared more cordial. White House comms director Stephen Chung calling the talks productive.
11:57The president did say yesterday on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine are close to a deal.
12:01But in another more recent post today, the president also suggests Russian President Vladimir Putin might not want to stop the war, given his attacks on civilian areas.
12:11So we're waiting for more details, which we hope will be given soon.
12:14All of this comes as the president appears ready to hand a major concession to Russia as part of a potential peace agreement, saying in a Time magazine interview that Crimea will stay with Russia.
12:24I think Russia and Ukraine, I think they're coming along, we hope. Very fragile.
12:34Meantime, on the domestic front, the Trump administration is defending the arrests of two judges whom justice officials say obstructed with efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
12:44It's the latest flashpoint between the administration and the courts as Democrats accuse the president of undermining the judiciary.
12:50We're having a very hard time with judges because they don't want people to be moved out of the country.
13:02Shockingly, nobody's ever had this before. No other president.
13:06The president's sounding more optimistic when it comes to trade, saying that he has spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
13:12Chinese officials are pushing back on that, saying that the U.S. and China have not had any conversations when it comes to tariffs.
13:18Yes. Rich. Madeline Rivera, live for us at the White House. Madeline, thank you.
13:22You got it. As the Trump administration works on the framework for trade negotiations with multiple key trading partners, let's bring in former Trump economic advisor Steve Moore.
13:31Steve, good afternoon. Thanks for joining us. We've got the president saying that he's made hundreds of deals.
13:36This is from his Time magazine interview. He says, I've made 200 deals.
13:40They said, really? He said, yeah, 100 percent, I have.
13:43We haven't gotten any details, Steve. Do you think he's made 200 deals? Where are the details?
13:47I can't say whether he has or hasn't. But look, it's been choppy waters for the economy over the last couple of months in the stock market.
13:58Trump appears to be really zoning in on those deals, Rich.
14:02I can't tell you where they stand, but I can tell you that if he starts piling up these deals with Japan, with China, with Korea, with the Canadians, it's going to be very positive for the economy.
14:15Now, listen, I'm much more of a free trade guy than Donald Trump is.
14:19I'm not a big fan of terrorists. But if he can get this behind us and if he can get these other countries to reduce their terrorists, which is really the goal here, that would be a huge home run for the economy, for Trump politically.
14:31And then, of course, I just wrote a piece for Fox News dot com on this.
14:36If he can combine that, Rich, with getting the tax cut done, maybe by the 4th of July, I think you'll see just a resounding rebound in the not only in the stock market, but in the economy as well.
14:49Yeah, Steve, The Wall Street Journal has an exclusive on the tactics that the administration is using.
14:55They said the U.S. is looking to negotiate within the framework.
14:57This new framework they've come up with, 18 major trading partners on a rolling basis.
15:02There are a lot of tariffs, a lot of countries that have tariffs as part of the president's plan.
15:09Is it wishful thinking that he can get all of this done?
15:11Hmm. Probably a little bit wishful thinking, but, Rich, there's really only when you look at the global economy and our trade volume, both our imports and exports, there's really only six or seven or eight countries that really matter that much.
15:25Obviously, Mexico and Canada. A lot of people don't realize, by the way, Rich, that our biggest trading partners are Canada and Mexico and then, of course, China and Europe and the U.K.
15:33So if he can get those deals done, that's, you know, as I said, six to seven to eight countries, you know, the rest of the countries will probably fall in line.
15:42And even if they don't, they're not really that important to the U.S. economy.
15:46So he could get it done. That would mean lower tariffs, freer and fairer trade.
15:51It would be good for American workers. It would be good for American businesses, which are facing some tough times right now, Rich,
15:57because the supply chains have been disrupted over the last couple of months about the tariffs and nobody knows exactly what the tariffs will be.
16:05So the sooner that this can get done, the better it will be for both investors, because we're all investors in the stock market,
16:12but also in terms of, you know, making sure that we don't swerve into a recession.
16:16The U.S. and China can't even agree on whether they're negotiating right now.
16:20The president says they are. The Chinese says they're not.
16:22But, you know, there was a deal in the first trade administration, Trump administration, a trade deal on China.
16:28They never fulfilled that deal. Why should the administration think that they can get anything productive out of China this time around?
16:34Well, we're banking on the fact that President Xi and the leaders in Beijing are rational.
16:40You know, we've had some tough times in our economy in the last couple of months, no question about it.
16:45But the Chinese economy is in terrible shape. Their stock market has tanked.
16:50They cannot grow. In fact, they would go into a Great Depression, Rich, if they don't have access to America's markets.
16:57So Trump is using that excuse the expression, that Trump card to force China to come to the negotiating table and to reduce not just their terrorists,
17:07but their other unfair policies, the fact that they're growing their military in an aggressive way, the fact that they cheat and steal our technology.
17:16There's so many issues we have with China. And incidentally, Rich, you know, I was looking at your polls earlier about, you know, how Americans feel about this issue and that issue and Trump.
17:26The one issue that almost all Americans agree on, whether they're Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, is that China is the problem and China is a villain.
17:34And we have to be very successful in terms of tough and successful in dealing with them.
17:39I think Trump is exactly the president to do that.
17:42We look at some of these poll numbers we've got here and it comes to the economy.
17:45The president had 38 percent approval on the economy, 33 tariffs, 33 on inflation.
17:51He's obviously got a little time here. We're not even at 100 days yet.
17:54But does he have that much time to get all this done?
17:56I mean, is the window closing here to finish this?
17:58You know, Rich, I worked briefly for the Reagan administration, believe it or not, towards the tail end.
18:04But I remember the first couple of years of Reagan's presidency.
18:08You know, Reagan obviously was one of our greatest presidents in history.
18:11But his first 12 or 14 months in office were tough.
18:15I mean, we had a really tough economy.
18:17We had a brutal recession as Reagan kind of rebuilt the economy from the disaster of Jimmy Carter.
18:25That's sort of what Trump is trying to do here.
18:27Now, if there was any mistake made, and by the way, I was guilty of this myself, Rich, of saying, well, as soon as Trump gets in,
18:33the economy is going to just, you know, have an immediate positive bounce.
18:39But it's taking time to sweat out the inflation of the system, to, you know, deal with the massive debt and deficits that were built on President Biden.
18:48But I do believe if those reports are right about July 4th and getting this deal done on the taxes and then the reports about progress on the trade,
18:57I think you will see a much, much better economy in the second half of the year.
19:02All right. Plenty at stake.
19:03Steve Moore, thanks so much.
19:05Thanks, Rich.
19:06Well, five people are dead and more than 700 were hurt in Iran after an explosion at a port linked to a missile fuel production site.
19:18Still no word on the cause, but some of the chemicals stored in the area are said to be extremely volatile.
19:23The blast happened as Iranian and American officials met in Oman for their third round of nuclear talks.
19:29Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to federal charges as his lawyers are hitting Attorney General Pam Bondi on that.
19:37That's next.
19:39Luigi Mangione pleading not guilty to federal charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.
19:45CB Cotton is live in New York as federal prosecutors seek the death penalty for Mangione.
19:50Hi, CB.
19:51Hi, Richie.
19:51Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to that four-count federal indictment as several rows of supporters looked on inside the courtroom
19:59outside an equal show of support, many in the crowd calling Mangione a hero,
20:05claiming the real villain is the health care industry and saying Mangione is being treated more harshly
20:10because the victim in this case was a high-profile CEO.
20:15They don't put the same pressure on people who, say, have committed school shootings.
20:22I don't think they value the lives of children as much as they value the life of this one CEO.
20:29Federal prosecutors have officially filed notice that they intend to seek the death penalty at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi,
20:37who pushed for the maximum punishment if Mangione is convicted in the case.
20:42Yesterday, the judge gave Mangione's defense team a June 27th deadline to file their arguments against the capital punishment.
20:50Mangione's attorneys have argued the U.S. government is going beyond its authority, writing in a statement earlier this month,
20:57quote,
20:57Their decision to execute Luigi is political and goes against the recommendation of the local federal prosecutors, the law, and historical precedent.
21:07Criminal defense attorney Brian Claypool pushes back on that and says the law is clear,
21:13and Attorney General Pam Bondi was within the scope of her power.
21:18This isn't a political stunt.
21:20This is called moral dignity.
21:22Pam Bondi has every right under the law to seek the death penalty in this case.
21:27It falls flat under the law where he allegedly used a firearm to murder somebody else.
21:35Mangione's next hearing in the federal case is not until December.
21:38The judge expects the trial to begin in 2026.
21:42Rich.
21:43CB Cotton live for us today.
21:44CB, thank you.
21:46Meanwhile, the judge rules that prosecutors can seek the death penalty against murder suspect Brian Koberger.
21:53Christina Coleman is live in Los Angeles with more.
21:55Christina.
21:56Hi, Rich.
21:57Brian Koberger's lawyers asked the judge to remove the death penalty as a possible punishment in this case since he's been diagnosed with autism,
22:05but the judge denied the request.
22:06Koberger's lawyers had him examined by a neuropsychologist after he was arrested,
22:11and he was assigned a level one diagnosis and without language or intellectual impairment.
22:17In the judge's ruling, he cited the findings of both a certified psychiatrist and a clinical neuropsychologist who were retained by the defense.
22:26The judge wrote,
22:27Of note, she observed that defendant is highly intelligent and has a factual understanding of the proceedings against him,
22:34the penalty he is possibly facing, pleas, and the roles of the courtroom personnel.
22:38She further noted that there was no evidence of formal thought disorder or thought organization.
22:45Koberger was a graduate student at Washington State University,
22:48getting a degree in criminal justice at the time of those horrific murders.
22:52On Thursday, the judge also ruled that jurors will more than likely be able to hear a lot of the 911 call that was made by the two surviving roommates
23:01about eight hours after Koberger allegedly murdered their four friends.
23:06The deadly attack happened around 4 a.m. on November 17th in 2022 in a rental home near the University of Idaho campus.
23:14That house has since been demolished. If convicted, prosecutors have already said they intend to seek the death penalty in this case.
23:22Koberger's trial is scheduled to begin in August.
23:26Rich?
23:26Christina Coleman live for us. Christina, thank you.
23:29Well, Democratic Party infighting spills out into the open this week.
23:33Could it affect their chances to retake the house? It's coming up next.
23:36The story is the fact that we could potentially have thousands of people up front to set it on what he is going to potentially say in terms of lying about his record on rule cutting Medicaid.
23:47That's from Fox News Digital getting an exclusive look inside the progressive resistance movement against the GOP.
23:52The footage is coming from the Indivisible Rockland Organizing Committee.
23:56It's planning to protest House Republican Mike Lawler's town hall.
24:00It's scheduled for New York tomorrow night.
24:02Local offshoots of the progressive group have reportedly been targeting GOP town halls for much of this year.
24:10I understand what he's trying to do.
24:12As I've said to him, if you want to challenge incumbents, you're more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters.
24:23We can't be both the referee and also the player at the same time.
24:29DNC Chair Ken Martin calling out Deputy David Hogg over his controversial plan to throw money behind those who want to primary Democratic incumbents.
24:39Let's bring in a Democratic incumbent.
24:41Congressman from Kentucky, Morgan McGarvey.
24:44Congressman, thanks for joining us.
24:45What do you make of this whole thing?
24:47Do you think that David Hogg has the right to sort of shake up the party, given low poll numbers and the performance in November's election?
24:53Yeah, you know, I think I think Ken Martin had a good op ed in the paper.
24:57And this is something we even see locally at the Jefferson County Democratic Party here in Louisville, Kentucky, is that when you have party officials, people in those those positions of trust within a party system, you really you can't have those officials being involved in the primaries.
25:15It makes people think the party is involved in the primaries.
25:19I think the point about party officials not being involved in primaries, restoring that trust to the voters is a good one.
25:26And then, of course, you know, I think right now we're talking about this and it's fine.
25:29It's primary season.
25:31But then Democrats are going to be united and come together and push back against Donald Trump and his agenda in the fall of 26.
25:37Seems like everyone's taking a little bit something different away from the November election results.
25:41What do you think the November results should mean to the Democratic Party?
25:46What lesson should you take away from it?
25:48Look, I think Democrats have been doing a self-reflection since 2024.
25:52And you're talking about our message, our messengers, making sure voters know the things we're doing to help help people.
25:59I think also when you look at what some of the takeaway from from the 24 elections is is Donald Trump has not fulfilled his promises.
26:07He said he was going to lower costs.
26:08He hasn't not only has he not lowered costs, costs are going up.
26:12His trade wars are causing sort of record chaos in the stock market.
26:16As we speak, he said he was going to do peace deals.
26:19He hasn't done those.
26:20I think voters are seeing those empty promises and then seeing a lot of the plans of Democrats, things like bipartisan legislation to cut the co-pays for seniors on medicine.
26:30And all this is going to be coming up, whether it's Medicaid cuts, whether it's cuts to veterans and seniors that are being proposed by Donald Trump and the House Republicans in their budget.
26:39This is what people are going to be talking about in 2026.
26:41And turning to this FBI case going on in Wisconsin right now, the arrest of a county judge there because she allegedly helped someone who's here illegally escape throughout the side door of her courtroom.
26:53Do you think that what she did was right?
26:56You know, I think when we're looking at this, we're waiting for all the facts, all the details to come in.
27:02It's pretty clear.
27:03No one's above the law in this in this instance.
27:06Let's find out what is going on, what's happening.
27:09And of course, you know, I've talked to some of the local judges, some of the local police officers in Louisville about exactly what is happening here.
27:18And let's remember, you know, we've got to we can keep our community safe.
27:22We want our communities to be safe.
27:24And part of that is making sure people show up in court to to have their charges heard against them to go through that process.
27:32Look, it doesn't always end up in people's favor.
27:34You get convicted in court.
27:36But we want to make sure people are showing up, whether they've been charged, whether they're a witness.
27:40How's the best way to make that happen?
27:42Yeah. And you actually you just said there nobody is above the law.
27:45That's something that you actually said about President Trump or former then former President Trump when he was convicted in New York.
27:52A number of Republicans have been criticizing Democrats for saying, hey, no one was above the law when it came to the president.
27:57But when it comes to a judge, that's not the case.
27:59You think that, listen, if you break the law, you break the law, you should be subjected to the rules.
28:06I mean, no one is above the law.
28:07The president, members of Congress, judges, everybody out there right now.
28:11And look, this judge is going through the process.
28:15She is going to have her day in court.
28:17She's going to be able to present her evidence and what's going on.
28:20And I think none of us know exactly what is going on in that case right now.
28:25So let's also make sure that we are doing the right things, that we are keeping all of our communities safe.
28:31That is it keeping our communities safe to have this going on in courtrooms, having people afraid to show up in court,
28:38having people afraid to testify or to come forward as witnesses to crimes, having being afraid to talk to police about this.
28:46How do we make sure that we have this right balance in our country?
28:48And finally, you know, Kentucky is an interesting political state.
28:51You've you're a red state, but you've got a Democratic governor.
28:54And now Congressman Andy Barr, he's a Republican.
28:56He's running for the Senate there to try to replace Mitch McConnell.
28:59The Democratic Party is saying, hey, this is a sign that Republicans are running for the exits here because there's going to be a real issue for Republicans in the midterms.
29:08Do you buy that?
29:09Do you think that he's heading for the exit?
29:11I mean, he's he's embracing President Trump.
29:13Well, look, Congressman Barr is running for the Senate.
29:17So in that instance, we have an open seat in Lexington.
29:20That makes a big difference, you know, an open seat where you don't have the advantage of incumbency,
29:25where you don't have an incumbent who's been doing good constituent services, that sort of thing.
29:28And what we've seen across the country, whether it's in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race,
29:32whether it is in a state Senate race in Pennsylvania, where a state Senate district that was a Trump plus 15 district switched,
29:39whether it's Donald Trump pulling Elise Stefanik's nomination, afraid they might lose that Trump plus 24 district.
29:46We are seeing people show up right now and they are showing up against the president's agenda.
29:52A state like Kentucky, where we're the fifth most dependent Medicaid dependent state in the country.
29:57You've got an open seat in central Kentucky, which is Lexington.
30:00It's a county that voted for Kamala Harris in 2024.
30:04I think this shows that Democrats are going to be aggressive, that we're going to be talking about the things going on.
30:09And it's a chance for a pickup for us.
30:11Congressman Morgan McGarvey, thanks for joining us.
30:59Oh, long back, quick.
31:20Long back.
31:29I
31:59Oh
32:29You see how many people are allowed.
