The Daily Detail for 3.19.26

0:00The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that police may demand physical identification during a stop here in Alabama if they believe a person's verbal answers are incomplete or unsatisfactory. The state's high court ruled 6-3 in response to a question coming from a federal judge who is handling a particular case out of Childersburg that stems from the 2022 arrest of pastor Michael Jennings. Jennings was watering a neighbor's flowers during their vacation when another person called in a suspicious person report when police arrived. The pastor told officers who he was and why he was there, but he did also refuse to show ID and was ultimately arrested by officers. The charges against the pastor were later dismissed Jennings then filed a false arrest lawsuit

1:04which is still moving through the courts. U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville warns Alabamians that there are Iranian sleeper cells here in the U.S. just waiting to be activated to cause terror among Americans. Tuberville spoke about this on FM talk 1065 out of mobile. We have sleeper cells here for everybody listening all over this country that were led in the Barack Obama and Joe Biden and they're just sitting back waiting to be careful what you do where your our keep your eyes open don't think this is America 15-20 years ago. It is not. This has been caused by the Democrats and these maniacs are just waiting around waiting for a word to do something in our country. We've had what four five just in the last week or two and you don't hear much about them because the mainstream media is not going to bring them up but we've got to really be aware that this is not the country that their four fathers gave us. We've been unfortunate again giving it to a lot of people that don't want to be here

2:05for the same reason. We're here to have a great moral value country and it's a tough time we're in but again it's got to start the head of snake and it's Middle East and Iran and then as long as that works and is going on we're going to have problems here look at Europe's almost gone because they allowed mass immigration there and it's just it's just unfortunate they let that happen. The Alabama Senate has delayed a vote that would have placed a temporary halt to the placement of solar power facilities here in the state of Alabama. The bill would have placed a moratorium on construction as well as operation of these solar power facilities for one year. The bill would not have applied to those projects that are already in progress. The bill had to be carried over after Democrats started a filibuster on other bills that were ahead of this one. The bill's sponsor, state senator Greg Alvarez says the bill is an important one for South Alabama so he was the one who moved for the bill to be carried over. The Alabama Senate has passed a bill that creates a pilot program for speed cameras at

3:06a work zone on one interstate highway. The measure would allow for civil citations and a $250 fine for drivers who are caught going more than 10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. Supporters of the bill say the goal is not revenue but to slow drivers down and protect construction workers. The Senate approved the bill 25 to 3 while a house version stalled out this past Tuesday after it failed to clear a required procedural vote. And the Alabama House has passed a bill that is modeled after the federal bill that was passed last year in Congress named the Lake and Riley Act. The bill passed with a 75 to 1 vote this past Tuesday. The bill's sponsor Ernie Yarbrough says his bill would allow for state-based law enforcement to work with federal law enforcement agencies with a memorandum of understanding this would apply especially in cases where federal agents are enforcing immigration laws and deporting illegal aliens. The bill is now headed over to the state Senate. Well, the last known siding of a missing university of Alabama student who was in Spain for spring break was near the waterfront district in Barcelona.

4:0720-year-old James Gracie of Illinois was at a nightclub in Barcelona and remained behind while his traveling friend returned to the Airbnb. Authorities in Barcelona have obtained surveillance footage of Gracie leaving the club with at least one other person. The administration at the University of Alabama says that they are in contact with the Gracie family in Illinois in order to offer any help and support needed in this case. The war in the stories affecting the state of Alabama go to 1819news.com. In the national news, Vice President J.D. Vance was asked about the recent resignation of the director for the counter-terrorism center, Joe Kent. Vance was in Auburn Hills, Michigan on Wednesday when a reporter brought up the reasons that were given by Kent for his sudden resignation. Joe Kent resigned from his post over his objection to the war in Iran. He was among those Republicans who was pretty dedicated to Trump's agenda and the magma movement. How does his exit speak to the fracture of that coalition over the war? What can you say to those who deeply believe in the President's agenda but are really worried about the consequences of what the war in Iran holds?

5:10Well, look, I mean, the President has said this. I've said this. Nobody likes war, right? And I guarantee the President of the United States is not interested in getting us in the kind of long-term quagmires that we've seen in years past. I know the President. I know the way that he thinks about his America's national security. He has not a risk with this President at all. What he has also said consistently for 10, 15 years, maybe even longer as Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and he's willing to take action diplomatic, ideally, but military action, if he has to, to make sure that that doesn't happen. That's all this is about. We don't want the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon. The President has been clear about this, and that's what led to the President's decision of what, about three weeks ago. Now, you asked about Joe Kent. Now, I know Joe Kent a little bit. I like Joe Kent. I heard the President of the United States say yesterday that he likes Joe Kent, too. But it's one thing to have a disagreement of opinion. I know the President very well. He welcomes differences of opinion. He likes it when people express their views about what should happen.

6:11He listens to everybody. It's one of the great things I like about him is that whether you're the Gardner Mar-Lago or whether you're the Secretary of the State, he recognizes that everybody has smarts and everybody has wisdom. That said, whatever your view is, when the President of the United States makes a decision, it's your job to help make that decision as effective and successful as possible. And so the President said this yesterday, if you are on the team and you can't help implement the decisions of his administration, he has the right to make those decisions, then it's a good thing for you to resign, and I think that's exactly right. It's fine to disagree. But what's the President makes a decision? It's up to everybody who serves in his administration to make it as successful as possible. That's how I do my job. And I think that's how everybody in the administration should do their job too. The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who was Joe Kent's boss up until his resignation this week, was before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday to give an update on threat assessments. The intelligence community assesses that Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Pakistan

7:16have been researching and developing an array of novel, advanced or traditional missile delivery systems with nuclear and conventional payloads that put our homeland within range. The IC assesses that threats to the homeland will expand collectively to more than 16,000 missiles by 2035 from the current assessed figure of more than 3,000 missiles. The IC assesses that China and Russia are developing advanced delivery systems meant to be capable of penetrating or bypassing U.S. missile defenses. With Korea's ICBMs can already reach U.S. soil and the IC assesses that it is committed to expanding its nuclear arsenal. Pakistan's long-range ballistic missile development potentially could include ICBMs with a range capable of striking the homeland. The IC assesses that Iran has previously demonstrated space launch and other technology. It could use to begin to develop a militarily viable ICBM before 2035 should take Iran an attempt to pursue that capability.

8:17However, these assessments will clearly be updated as the full impact of Operation Epic Fury's devastating strikes on Iran's missile production facilities, stockpiles and launch capabilities is determined. These nations collectively will likely seek to understand U.S. plans for advanced missile defense for the homeland, probably for the purpose of shaping their own missile development programs and assessing U.S. intentions regarding deterrence. Senator Mark Wayne Mullin of Oklahoma was part of a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing as part of his confirming process to replace Christy Nome as the Secretary of DHS. Mullin told that committee that he would make a policy change within that agency when it comes to arrests made by DHS agents. Mullin says that he would seek judicial-approved arrest warrants before any federal agents enter a home or business. The committee will vote on President Trump's nomination of Mullin this Thursday. The chairman of that committee is Rand Paul of Kentucky who had quite the personal exchange with Mullin about the violence that Paul has experienced on multiple occasions as a politician,

9:18including him being attacked by his own neighbor in his backyard following that attack Mullin made some derogatory comments about Paul as a Republican senator calling him a snake. He then said he understood why the neighbor felt the need to attack Paul. When I talked to you on the private on the privately on the phone, there was no apology. You just said, well, we can let our political difference go by and you said a few minutes ago, we can just set it aside. Political differences we can, but when you say that you agree with a felon, a Trump-hating felon who attacked me, somehow you think I'm just going to set that aside? Oh, it's no big deal. I lay in pain for two months, had six ribs broken, three of them separated, grinding upon bone on bone for months, had part of my lung removed, and you think that's great to be extolled. I mean, the sheer lack of any kind of self-awareness that you're going to be leading thousands of men and women who will have the use of force, and there's been great questions in our country

10:20about how that will be used, and you think a violent attack is just fine. So I guess my first question is, do you think that justifying that kind of violence sets a good example for the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol? Mr. Chairman, first of all, I didn't know the exceeding your damage. With a phone call was made, I made it to you, and I tried to talk to you. You didn't engage at all. In fact, you said, get your paperwork in, it's got to be at three days in between. You offer no apology, sir. And you offer no apology today, and no regrets. I don't want to apologize, I haven't heard the word regret, I haven't heard I misspoke, and it was heated, and I made a mistake. I actually did. I don't know any of those words. Actually, it wasn't heated, and I'm not apologizing for pointing out your counter. Good, good. So you're jolly well-fined, and you want the American public, and the people up here to vote that may or may not vote for you to know that you supported the felonious, violent attack on me from behind. I did not say I supported it.

11:21I said I understood it. There's a difference. By following you, by following you. That means you really didn't approve of it, just completely understand it. What do you think most people would interpret, completely understand to be support for, or a condemnation of the violence? Sir, as I said, we can have our differences. It's not going to keep me from doing my job as Secretary of Homeland Security. A school principal in the state of Oregon has been sentenced to five years in prison for the possession of child pornography. Fifty-year-old Jeremy Williams was working at Rennier Junior High School. He was sentenced this week to six years in prison, and must register as a sex offender for the next 15 years, after he pleaded guilty, to the three counts of possessing images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Williams was a person who came to light before his arrest for these charges, because he was seen publicly celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. Williams was then suspended from his position as principal, following his comments about Kirk's death. Speaking of TPUSA, the University of Arkansas chapter of TPUSA has announced this week

12:23that they are completely disaffiliating from the national organization. The decision comes one week after Erica Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk and the new CEO, visited that state. The chapter president is Dino Phanagrossi, who made a public statement about the recent decision, citing that the national organization has lost sight of what is truly important, which was fighting for conservative policy principles and values, and instead has become consumed with metrics in creating a viral cultural moment. Phanagrossi said this chapter has many grievances against Turning Point USA and that those grievances will be presented to them in private. You're listening to the Daily Detail from 1819 News.
