Transcript
00:00Mr. Holman, is the administration considering any federal action in Portland where we see Antifa besieged one of the buildings there for over a month now and assaulting and attacking journalists on the ground?
00:10We'll see about that. I'm going to Portland.
00:12Mr. Holman, Scripps News has learned that there was a major medical incident at Alligator Alcatraz.
00:16Major what?
00:17Major medical incident at Alligator Alcatraz.
00:19What was it?
00:21What could you tell us about that?
00:22I can tell you I went to Alligator Alcatraz two days ago and I'm sick and tired of false stories about Alligator Alcatraz.
00:26Someone asked me the other day that the priest wasn't allowed in to get mass.
00:30Wrong.
00:31They got the records there.
00:32They showed me records.
00:33A clergy had been allowed on there.
00:36And I walked through the medical facility there.
00:39Not one person was in the trauma unit at all.
00:42I talked to the head medical person.
00:46She shared with me, you know, what they're getting.
00:48Some people don't, you know, stomachache or, you know, nothing serious has happened there.
00:54And if something serious is happening, they got a helicopter right there to take people to the nearest trauma center.
00:59So what I saw was a well-run facility.
01:03And the reason I went down there is because I get asked these questions all the time about the terrible, terrible Alligator Alcatraz.
01:10I went down there and what I found out is there's a lot of fake stories out there about medical attention,
01:16about, you know, religious freedom and having clergy there.
01:19I went down there.
01:20I looked at it.
01:20I looked at the books.
01:22So it was just simply a false story.
