00:01Mary.

00:02Thanks, Caroline.

00:03I just watched a CNN segment on a new app called IceBlock, and it kind of appeared to

00:07be promoting this app where you can tell people where ICE agents are.

00:11Given the recent rise...

00:12An app that tells people where ICE agents are?

00:15Yes.

00:16And given the rise, I believe, 500 percent increase in assaults on ICE agents.

00:21I wanted to see if you could comment on that and why CNN would be promoting such an app.

00:25Well, it's a very good question.

00:26I'll have to go back and watch the clip myself, but surely it sounds like this would be an

00:31incitement of further violence against our ICE officers.

00:33As you know, as you stated, there's been a 500 percent increase in violence against ICE

00:38agents, law enforcement officers across the country who are just simply trying to do their

00:43jobs and remove public safety threats from our communities.

00:46And that's something we as Americans, including journalists at CNN who live in many of these

00:51cities where illegal aliens are hiding and were let in from the previous administration,

00:55should be very grateful for.

00:57So we haven't seen the clip.

00:58We'll take a look at it.

00:59But certainly it's unacceptable that a major network would promote such an app that is

01:07encouraging violence against law enforcement officers who are trying to keep our country

01:11safe.

01:12Shelby.

01:13I just wanted to get a clarification on the Senator Rick Scott's amendment.

01:16It sounds like the president is.

01:19Thank you, sir.
