Citation From the April 21, 2020, edition of Fox News' The Ingraham Angle:

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): No one's saying anyone wants anything -- I mean, you know, of course no one wants anything bad to happen, we all want to think that everyone is going to go on and do everything correctly and by the books and according to the law. But I don't have to tell you I spent a lot of time in San Bernardino over the years, and back in the 1980s, Sheriff, so I've -- I remember it --

JOHN MCMAHON: Wow.

INGRAHAM: Okay, I'm not that old, but okay, that -- nice "wow" comment there, sheriff --

MCMAHON: I grew up here, so I've been here a long time as well. 

INGRAHAM: I was in college, give me a break. I was in college, but, so -- so, I know -- I know the area pretty well, I've been back a number of times. Things have changed a lot in California.

We got a lot more drugs, we have a lot more, obviously, immigrants, some illegal, some documented, but it's a different world and a lot of different concerns. A lot of great people, immigrants, nonimmigrants, but it's a different world now, and you -- you have to keep your people safe and the community safe, and a lot of this -- the COVID response is making life more difficult for you, and the community as a result.
