RUSH TRANSCRIPT Steele Rob ░░░░░░░░ that s such an ░░░░░░░░ point and I really ░░░░░░░░ to take it out ░░░░░░░░ little bit further because ░░░░░░░░ further connects the dot ░░░░░░░░ the conversation we had ░░░░░░░░ and I had before ░░░░░░░░ break about the additional ░░░░░░░░ being moved to Washington ░░░░░░░░ C Complicating all of ░░░░░░░░ is the litigation that ░░░░░░░░ around these deployments not ░░░░░░░░ in D C But ░░░░░░░░ Chicago as well where ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court could rule ░░░░░░░░ the Chicago Chicago deployment ░░░░░░░░ a matter of days ░░░░░░░░ have judge cobb ruling ░░░░░░░░ the D C National ░░░░░░░░ s deployment was in ░░░░░░░░ illegal Illegal Noting post ░░░░░░░░ postponed the impact of ░░░░░░░░ decision until December 11th ░░░░░░░░ give the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ to appeal her decision ░░░░░░░░ her decision lands just ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court is ░░░░░░░░ to issue its ruling ░░░░░░░░ the deployment of the ░░░░░░░░ Guard to Chicago area ░░░░░░░░ appeals court are also ░░░░░░░░ deployments in Portland and ░░░░░░░░ Angeles The unfortunate part ░░░░░░░░ all this exacerbated by ░░░░░░░░ shooting today is that ░░░░░░░░ guardsmen are in a ░░░░░░░░ pong situation between the ░░░░░░░░ and wiles of an ░░░░░░░░ and the judicial system ░░░░░░░░ is looking at these ░░░░░░░░ and going wait a ░░░░░░░░ time out speak a ░░░░░░░░ bit if you could ░░░░░░░░ what this is You ░░░░░░░░ on it but I ░░░░░░░░ to explore a little ░░░░░░░░ further because this ia ░░░░░░░░ poignant moment for these ░░░░░░░░ to be in this ░░░░░░░░ and speak to the ░░░░░░░░ that they re here ░░░░░░░░ serve the country the ░░░░░░░░ and women in the ░░░░░░░░ that they come from ░░░░░░░░ when when the country ░░░░░░░░ them at large How ░░░░░░░░ this weaken that ability ░░░░░░░░ to enhance that connective ░░░░░░░░ when they re seesawed ░░░░░░░░ the politics and the ░░░░░░░░ D AMICO It s ░░░░░░░░ tough one And I ░░░░░░░░ at it and if ░░░░░░░░ was like back in ░░░░░░░░ marine days where I ░░░░░░░░ a platoon commander and ░░░░░░░░ commander I literally tell ░░░░░░░░ look we have a ░░░░░░░░ The courts are doing ░░░░░░░░ thing That s part ░░░░░░░░ the us justice system ░░░░░░░░ the courts ruled one ░░░░░░░░ but they re going ░░░░░░░░ appeal and we re ░░░░░░░░ here We re still ░░░░░░░░ the mission and we ░░░░░░░░ still doing what we ░░░░░░░░ being told to do ░░░░░░░░ some court of higher ░░░░░░░░ says no we re ░░░░░░░░ doing the mission anymore ░░░░░░░░ then you can then ░░░░░░░░ can leave You have ░░░░░░░░ keep their head in ░░░░░░░░ game You have to ░░░░░░░░ look all that stuff ░░░░░░░░ s going on is ░░░░░░░░ of the democracy of ░░░░░░░░ the judicial system the ░░░░░░░░ parts of the government ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ to a resolution at ░░░░░░░░ point But until that ░░░░░░░░ we re doing this ░░░░░░░░ re doing it because ░░░░░░░░ re told to And ░░░░░░░░ courts are rectifying the ░░░░░░░░ thing and you have ░░░░░░░░ be part of a ░░░░░░░░ until it s until ░░░░░░░░ s over And as ░░░░░░░░ said I do hope ░░░░░░░░ they come in and ░░░░░░░░ look we were looking ░░░░░░░░ the reason we re ░░░░░░░░ 500 more troops in ░░░░░░░░ two were in a ░░░░░░░░ of two We think ░░░░░░░░ of four and six ░░░░░░░░ safer So we re ░░░░░░░░ to up every patrol ░░░░░░░░ make sure that there ░░░░░░░░ a minimum of four ░░░░░░░░ something along those lines ░░░░░░░░ it s not just ░░░░░░░░ what I said before ░░░░░░░░ but you still have ░░░░░░░░ talk to the troops ░░░░░░░░ have to say look ░░░░░░░░ may not even agree ░░░░░░░░ it but until the ░░░░░░░░ decide it because that ░░░░░░░░ where it s at ░░░░░░░░ now you have to ░░░░░░░░ your head in the ░░░░░░░░ You have to do ░░░░░░░░ because we re told ░░░░░░░░ And if there s ░░░░░░░░ issues they have to ░░░░░░░░ people aside and talk ░░░░░░░░ them about that But ░░░░░░░░ s a tough one ░░░░░░░░ they are being kind ░░░░░░░░ you know back and ░░░░░░░░ I think they re ░░░░░░░░ know somewhat political figures ░░░░░░░░ again we have the ░░░░░░░░ to decide it And ░░░░░░░░ that s done the ░░░░░░░░ of these national guardsmen ░░░░░░░░ staff commission officers and ░░░░░░░░ really have to keep ░░░░░░░░ top of and say ░░░░░░░░ re here until the ░░░░░░░░ authoritatively says either we ░░░░░░░░ here or we re ░░░░░░░░
