Sheriff Alex Villanueva joins Sean Hannity with insight on 'Hannity.'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Bleep,
I hope they die
pretty disgusting and
repulsive
the monster who shot these two
officer
officers still out there.
One hundred thousand dollars reward for information
on the gunman.
The sheriff challenged, Lebron
James to patch that reward
joining us with more is the l dot a
county sheriff himself Alex
Sir, I watched your emotional
press conference the other
night.
Our thoughts and prayers are
with your entire team and these
officers in particular
any new updates.
They are in stable condition.
Do we know if there will be
long term damage
that, and the question still
has to be answered.
They are still in intensive
care.
Unfortunately, it will take
a while to have the recovery
process and gain full control of
their extrimities.
We will continue to pray for
them and support them.
Hopefully they will make
a complete recovery
in New York City, the
mayor cut the budget by one dollar
million and one hundred and fifty million cut from
the LAPD.
We have a vice presidential
candidate that praised that cut
to the police officers.
Then we have a presidential
candidate that police become the
enemy.
Of course, we should redirect
funds away from the police.
Then we heard in the Dnc
violence was mentioned twice in
passing
happening for over one hundred days.
I will go over the list of how
many officers have been
murdered.
Your reaction in terms of a
leadership position and of top
politicians, bashing police on
a daily basis.
I want your reaction.
All right,
I dont support any elected
leader. Anyone who is an
influencer in society has an
obligation to support law and
order.
I heard things at the local
level that is astonishing.
They are fanning t the flames
pouring gas on the fire.
They are not bringing people
together,
they are further dividing
people
its reprehensible,
I wont say this- is the outcome
of that. However, they are
contributing to the narrative.
There will always be one person
in the crowd that takes them at
face value.
They will take independent
action on that
people needs to be responsible.
Words have consequences.
This is a prime example of that
sheriff. Let me ask you
more directly.
We have seen night after night,
one hundred plus days city after City
Molatov, cocktails,
precincts commandeered by
anarchists and cops pelted with
bricks and rocks and stabbed and
shot
forty three officers murdered in the line
of duty and thousands have been
injured.
One party in this country is
denying it
saying, thats a myth.
How do you have a convention and
not talk about this?
Only under political pressure? Do
they speak out
a little too late? If my mind,
sir,
I hold them accountable for
their rhetoric.
Well, we havave to go by fact
and not emotion,
its easy to manipulate emotion,
its hard to manipulate facts
in nation average. Once a week,
a cop is killed in duty
once a week.
I know there is a narrative that
people are trying to push out.
There is a George Floyd
happening in every department
across the nation,
thats, false and irresponsible,
and that encourages the mob
mentality to storm precincts
law. Enforcements agency across
the nation need to defend their
police stations and act
responsibly with the public and
work hand in hand with the
community.
The mantra everywhere is
accountable for law enforcement,
but it gets lost in the shuffle
individual accountability.
I would like to know
about your challenge to Lebron
James.
There were peaceful protesters,
chanting black lives matter,
thats the group chanting. What
do we want
dead cops?
Now
we had twenty thousand protestors
outside of my building a few
months ago exercising their
first amendment right and we
were there to defend them
exercising that right
when they show up armed like
they are going to play NFL
football as a linebacker. They
are not a peaceful protestor
lets end that nonsense right
now.
Anybody with helmets and goggles
and frozen water bottles and
mortars.
They are there to do damage.
We wont support that
lets see if Lebron
James takes your challenge.
