Eric Swalwell

It's 218 Republicans to 213 Democrats.

And by the way, there are a few Republicans, Thomas Massey-like individuals, who don't like the lawless nature of this administration.

So it's really just a matter of finding two other Republicans to work with to affect change.

So I wouldn't write the other side completely off.

I'd write most of them off.

But you just need a handful.

This is the thinnest majority

ever and mike johnson doesn't have a together and he doesn't have aligned and so you know where we can get wins you know for the most vulnerable uh we should be seeking to do that and and one that i think you can do immediately is on the immunity issue look i immunity is there for many good reasons for law enforcement when they're doing law enforcement functions these guys are not doing law enforcement functions they are taking civil actions but they have this

as I said, this cloak of immunity that makes them act as if they are invincible.

And if you strip that away, again, I don't think that guy shoots into that car.

If he doesn't have that immunity, I don't think he strips into that, shoots into that car.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, first I will say, listen to the legal experts in this field.

I miss my days as a prosecutor.

But

will say that you know these ice agents are theoretically supposed to be taking the most dangerous individuals out of our community and and ideally they would have local law enforcement partners but local law enforcement what i'm hearing across california they don't want anything to do with these guys because these guys give local law enforcement a bad rap and and let me just tell you again i say that as a family member of cops cops in california

are worried that the public may not be able to distinguish the difference between an ICE agent who's trying to be a local cop and a local cop who is a local cop, and that these ICE guys are bringing violence on local cops, that you may really be pissed off and want to take your anger out against an ICE agent.

Not right.

I don't condone that.

that you may be you know you may catch a stray so to speak as a local cop just because you're a cop and they think you're an ice agent so that there's all sorts of other issues going on here that you know these ice agents are affecting and people they're putting at risk but i i would i would just say it's important you know to you know talk to local experts know your rights um you know obviously uh you you
