Let's dip in to hear 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: what he is saying. Period and we've experienced we have 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: to do something about it. We now have to do something. 29 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: We have to act. We can't wait and to play 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: games and nothing gets done. And I really believe that 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: the people. This is bipartisans, a bipartisan meeting, and we're 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: going to discuss safe schools and we can really get there. 33 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: But we have to do it. We don't want to 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: wait two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, and people sort 35 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: of forget, and then we go back on and then 36 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: we have another problem. We want to stop the problems 37 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: from having so as we continue to mourn the loss 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: of so many precious young lives in Parkland, Florida. We're 39 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: determined to turn our grief into action. I really believe that. 40 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: I think that the people at this table wanted. I mean, 41 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: I see some folks that don't say nice things about me, 42 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: and that's okay, because if you turned that into this energy, 43 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: I'll love you. I don't care. We're gonna we're gonna 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: be able to do it. Sadly, these horrible mass shootings 45 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: are nothing new. I asked for just a list of 46 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: I when you look at Columbi in Colorado, Bill Clymmon 47 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: West President, Virginia Tech, George Bush, Fort Hood, Sandy Hook, 48 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: San Bernardino, Pults Nightclub, and so many more, it's ridiculous. 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: So today we're here in a bipartisan fashion to show 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: leadership and an effort to end the senseless violence and violence. 51 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: It can be ended, and it will be ended. First, 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: we must hardened our schools against attack. These include allowing 53 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: people with a certified training, very talented people to carry firearms. 54 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: And some people are going to disagree with that, and 55 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: I understand that. I fully understand that, and if you do, 56 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: I want you to speak up today and we'll listen. 57 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: But of all mass shootings in the United States since 58 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty have taken place in gun free zones, gun 59 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: where guns were not inside the school or as an example, 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: you take Pulse Nightclub. If you had one person in 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: that room that could carry a gun and knew how 62 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: to use it, it wouldn't have happened, or certainly not 63 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: to the extent that did, where he was just in 64 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: their shooting and shooting and shooting and they were defenses. 65 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: So just remember that of all mass public shootings in 66 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: the United States since nineteen fifty have taken place in 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: gun free zones. Starrup, You've got to have defense too. 68 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: You can't just be sitting ducks, and that's exactly what 69 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: we've allowed people in these buildings and schools to be. Second, 70 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: we have to confront mental health. There's never been a 71 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: case that I've ever seen. I'm sure everybody would feel 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: the same where mental health was so obviously thirty nine 73 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: different red flags. I mean, everybody was seeing them, the 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: local police, the state police, the FBI, everybody was seeing 75 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: that this guy was sick and nothing happened. Third, we 76 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: have to ensure that when students educate his family, neighbors, 77 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: that when they war an authorities, that the authorities act 78 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: quickly and decisively, unlike what took place in Florida, which 79 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: was horrible. Fourth, we have to pursue common sense measures 80 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: that protect the rights of law abiding Americans while keeping guns. 81 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: And we have to keep the guns out of the 82 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: hands of those that posed the threat. And this really 83 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: includes background checks. And I know, Senator that you're working 84 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: on things. Joe, I know you're working and uh, I mean, 85 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a number of the folks around the table. 86 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: You're working on different bills. We have to get them. 87 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: We have to get them done. We have to get 88 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: them done. Um, and they have to be strong. The 89 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: background checks. Hey, look, I'm the biggest fan of the 90 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: Second Amendment, many of you are. I'm a big fan 91 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: of the n r A. But I've met I had 92 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: lunch with them with Wayne and Chris and David on 93 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Sunday and said, it's time. We're gonna stop this nonsense. 94 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: It's time. So we've made suggestions to many of you, 95 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna put a lot of those 96 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: suggestions in. Plus, you're gonna have your own ideas. Certain 97 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: ideas sound good, but they're not they're not good. You know, 98 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: you can harden the sight to a level that nobody 99 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: can get in. The problem is if the shooters inside 100 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: and he gets if he gets in the door and 101 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: closes the door, we can't get people in. It's gonna 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: cost hundreds of millions of dollars all over the country 103 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: and we'll have nice heart sites that were closes and 104 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: now we can't get it. I have to send a 105 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: tractor through the walls. So we have to be careful 106 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: of that. And we have to create a culture that 107 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: cherishes life and human dignity. So we're gonna all sit around, 108 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna come up with some ideas. Hopefully we can 109 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: put those ideas in a very bipartisan bill. It would 110 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: be so beautiful to have one bill that everybody could support, 111 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, fifteen bills. Everybody's got their 112 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: own bill. But if we could have one terrific bill 113 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: that everybody started by the people around this tape, special people. 114 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: These are the people that seem to be just most interested, 115 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: very interested in this problem, and it's a big problem. 116 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: So with that, I think i'd like to start. Maybe 117 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: I'll ask John you can start off, and then we'll 118 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: go back and forth. We'll leave the media for a 119 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: little while and they can hear some thought. But it's 120 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: something that can be done. There's no reason for this. 121 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: But again, I really believe that as people, it's idealistic, 122 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: it's wonderful, it's a beautiful thing. But if you think 123 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: that somebody's gonna be able to walk into a school, 124 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: if they feel that they're not gonna have bullets coming 125 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: at them from the other direction, you're never going to 126 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: solve the problem. I feel that. I feel that, but 127 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm certainly open to suggestions. So John, why aren't you start. 128 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: You've put in your fixed knicks, and let's see how 129 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: it is and go ahead. We'll thank you this president. 130 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: You're getting us together and for expressing your sincere concern 131 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: about this and trying to get us to a solution. 132 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: I agree with you that, uh, leaving this town and 133 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: going home empty handed is not acceptable. The public demands 134 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: that we act. We know how hard it is to 135 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: get people together on a bipartisan basis, but believe it 136 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: or not, at least in one case, Senator Murphy and 137 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: I and we have a forty six co sponsors to 138 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: the fixed Nix bill of the Senate. The House has 139 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: passed it's version of it, and I believe it's a 140 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: good place for us to start. As you know, Sutherland Springs, Uh, 141 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: we lost twenty six people when a guy who while 142 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: in the Air Force is convicted felon. He was convicted 143 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: of domestic violence and he was less than honorably discharged 144 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: from the military, none of which was uploaded into the 145 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: background check system maintained by the FBI, and the that's 146 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: only as good as the data that's put into it. 147 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: So Senator Murphy and I and Senate College bipartisan basis 148 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: have what we think is a start. It's not the 149 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: end all be all. There's other things that people want 150 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: to add to it. You've talked about the bump stock issue. 151 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: The Senator Feinstein I know, cares passionately about, and I'm 152 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: going to write that out because we can do that 153 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: with an executive order. I'm going to write the bump 154 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: stock essentially, write it out so you won't have to 155 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: worry about bump stock. Shortly that will be gone. We 156 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: can focus on other things. Frankly, I don't even know 157 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: it would be good in this bill. It's nice to 158 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: have a separate it piece of taper where it's gone 159 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: and we'll have that done pretty quickly. They're working on 160 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: it right now. The lawyers go ahead, but we need 161 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: to get started on things that only we can do, 162 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: which would be this background check system. People have other ideas, 163 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: they offer those ideas. I'm not sure all of them 164 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: will pass. But in the past we've we've we've acquiesced 165 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: to failure and have not done things that we know 166 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: within our power to accomplish, like the Fixed Knicks bill. 167 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: So I would just like to recommend to you and 168 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: to colleagues here that we get that done and we 169 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: build on it. We don't stop there. We build on it. 170 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: And because none of us want to look these families 171 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: in the face in the wake of another mass shooting 172 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: and say we fail to do everything within our power 173 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: to stop. And John Fixed Nix has some really good 174 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: things in it, but it would be nice if we 175 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: could add everything onto it. And maybe you changed the title. 176 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: All right, the US Background Check Bill or whatever. Your 177 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: bill is really good and really portant, having to do 178 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: with a certain aspect, but maybe we could make it 179 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: much more comprehensive and have one bill instead of fifteen 180 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: different bills that nobody knows what's happening if we can 181 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: get sixty votes for it. Mr Product, Honestly, I think, look, 182 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: I really believe this is one of the things where 183 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: you can actually get the sixty votes and maybe easily. Diane, 184 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: you have something well I do m Mr President. Um, 185 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: you probably know this, but I became mayor of San 186 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: Francisco as a product of the assassination. I've been the 187 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: victim of terrorist groups. UM. The Department gave me a weapon, 188 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: they taught me how to shoot it, and we proceeded 189 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: through the nineteen seventies that way. What I've watched and 190 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: seen is the development of weapons that I never thought 191 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: would leave the battlefield, that are out on our streets. 192 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: And the latest and newest, Mr Chairman, is the A 193 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: R fifteen. UM. It's got a lot of as sense 194 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: to it, and it's it's misused, and it tears a 195 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: part of human body with the velocity. And I've watched 196 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: the school shootings in particular, which you pointed out, and 197 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: I thought Sandy Hook, and I'm delighted that Senator Murphy 198 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: is here today. We thought Sandy Hook would be the end, 199 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: and he and I introduced another assault weapons bill after 200 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: the first one. We didn't succeed with it, but the 201 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: killings have gone on, the number of incidents have gone up. 202 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: And I put my case in writing, which I will 203 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: give you if I may, in letter form. And secondly, 204 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: the assault weapons legislation. This is the number of incidents 205 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: before and of of of of incidents and of deaths. 206 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: This is when the ten year assault weapon van was in, 207 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: how incidents and deaths draw when it ended. You see 208 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: it going on. So Senator Murphy and twenty six of 209 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: us have co sponsored a new bill. I would be 210 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: most honored if you would take a look at and 211 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: we will get it to you and let us know 212 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: what you what you think of it. Thank you, Thank 213 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: you very much, Chris, Mr Presidents Price, President, thank you 214 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: very much. Thank you for taking this seriously. Our hearts 215 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: go out to Parkland. We know having gone through this 216 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: in Sandy Hook and that community will never ever be 217 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: the same. Um And I want to bring us back 218 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: to this issue of background checks if I could, because 219 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: I think there's real opportunity. There is no other issue 220 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: out there in the American public today like background checks. 221 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: Of Americans want universal background checks. In states that have 222 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: universal background checks, there are thirty five percent less gun 223 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: murders than in states that don't have them, and yet 224 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: we can't get it done. Nothing else like that where 225 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: it works. People want it and we can't do it. 226 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: But you have a different president. Now, well, I mean 227 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: you went through a lot of presidents and you didn't 228 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: get it done. You have a different president, and I 229 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: think maybe you have a different attitude too. I think 230 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: people want to get it done. In the end, Mr President, Um, 231 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: the reason that nothing has gotten done here is because 232 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: the gun lobby has had a veto power over any 233 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: legislation that becomes before conference. I wish that wasn't the case, 234 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: but that is. And if all we end up doing 235 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: is the stuff that the gun industry supports. All right, 236 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: let me step in here. This is a yeah, the 237 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: President meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers on school 238 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: safety guns and everything pretty much is on the table. 239 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: You heard the President and make out layout his case 240 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: of shootings uh in over since nineteen fifty, if you 241 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: can believe it, have been in gun free zones. And 242 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: the President talked at length about how the public, how 243 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: defense is important, how in fact people need defense, and 244 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: you can't be sitting duck and he talked about confronting 245 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the mental health issues. Then he talked about, you know, 246 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: how the warning signs were missed in this case down 247 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: in Florida, and how do we balance protecting Second Amendment rights, 248 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: background checks and so on and so forth. You heard 249 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: Donny and Einstein and Chris Murphy. They were going into 250 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: another aspect of this, obviously with a pretty left wing 251 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: liberal agenda. But I guess that's what hearing all sides 252 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: is all about. I'm not so sure that you get agreement. Obviously. 253 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: I disagree with what the Democrats Democratic senator from Connecticut 254 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: was just saying, all right, we'll get back to some 255 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: of this. We also get to our other agendas here 256 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: the day. We got a lot coming up, uh, including 257 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: the signs that were missed, including the thirty nine trips 258 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: to the home of Nicholas CRUs including the two calls 259 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: to the FBI. We have Hillary and her audacity on 260 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: display today in a way we've never talked about. And 261 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: also we have how the FISA judge fis A judges 262 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: that were lied to, feeling about being line to. We're 263 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: gonna update you on that. All this coming up this 264 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: afternoon here on the Shawn hann at the show.

How do you how do you miss all 271 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: of that? Uh? Bernie Carrick, who was the NYPD police commissioner, 272 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: he's going to join us later, he says, this guy 273 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: down to this Israel sheriff in Broward County, He's gotta go. 274 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen this type of arrogance 275 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: on display my entire life. Yeah, the deputy never went in. Yeah, 276 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: I didn't look at the video for a week. It 277 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: wasn't my job. Yeah, it's not my fault when my 278 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: deputies fail. Uh oh. And I've given amazing leadership at 279 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: Broward as Broward Sheriff. I i'd have been the first 280 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: person in. Well, it turns out there were four people 281 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: that didn't go in. End. They actually said to the 282 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: E M T S you can't go in. There are 283 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: people bleeding. I mean seconds matter in a moment like that, 284 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: that's the difference between life and death. Israel, I don't 285 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: know anything about a stand down order. Well, we know 286 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: the E m T s were told not to go in. 287 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: We know Coral Gables police, you know, have now gone 288 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: on the record saying, yeah, we were told that they're 289 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: waiting for the SWAT team to get there. Meanwhile they 290 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: ran into the building. And I don't understand somebody sitting 291 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: outside in the middle of a shooting and it was 292 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: his job to protect the school. I don't know cops 293 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: like that. I don't know law enforcement like that. As 294 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, we saw the difference. How many 295 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: times have we seen any of these incidents. You see 296 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: what happens. You see how those brave men and women 297 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: in uniform, how they risked their lives. Think back to 298 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: the Steve's Galice shooting. You know what about those two 299 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: officers that ran in an open field going up against 300 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: a rifle. You're not gonna win, but they did it anyway. 301 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: Or the people that went up as people were coming 302 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: down the trade center buildings. I now until the top 303 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: of the one sewn. You want to be a part 304 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: of the program. I want to go to busy. That's 305 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: the name. Deerfield Beach, Florida. Apparently was a former deputy 306 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: from Broward County. Did you work under Scott Israel, No, SIRR. 307 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: I did not. I was there between they took our 308 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: city over in and I retired to eleven. But I 309 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: tell you one thing about the Broward Sheriffs is very 310 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: very political, and you don't step on other people's toes. 311 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: And the three men, the three bso deputies that everybody 312 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: says stayed outside, I would have no doubt that somebody, 313 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: either lieutenant, a captain, sergeant let them boys know to 314 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: stand down and wait for swat because everybody wants to 315 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: be the first one to be the hero in this department. 316 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: And uh, unfortunately I would my money is on that. 317 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: That sounds like, you know, I don't doubt it. I'll 318 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: tell you why I don't doubt it. And and maybe 319 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: this is different from this guy's Scott Peterson, who was 320 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: that was his job, he was on duty, he was 321 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: at the school. I can't fathom why he stayed outside 322 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: during the whole incident. Mr. Just like any company you 323 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: have guided to do you have people that do ten 324 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: per and the men and women that I've worked with, 325 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: and there's eight thousand people in this department, But the 326 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: men and women that I've worked with, they all gave 327 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: a hundred percent. But like I said, but but I 328 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: gotta be honest when it comes to cops, first responders, 329 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: FBI fireman, all these guys that I know, they're they're 330 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: all ninety nine nine percent. They're all going in. There's 331 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: not one that's not. That's that's what makes this such 332 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: an anomaly because I've never seen this before. It just 333 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: it makes no sense. So your theory that there was 334 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: protocol is the only thing that makes sense. Because everybody 335 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: that decides to become a cop or or an FBI 336 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: guy or secret service everybody they do. You've got to 337 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: be called to do that job or you're not gonna 338 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: make it very long. There's got to be a calling. 339 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: And then you go through your training, and then after 340 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: your training, mentally, you're always imagining how you're gonna react 341 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: to this situation that situation, and you're just prepared. It's 342 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: almost like there's no thinking involved. You know, what makes 343 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: a really great athlete is those that can literally put 344 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: all stress out of their mind, and we call it 345 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: getting in the zone, no think at all, and they 346 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: just do what they're trained to do, whatever their athletic 347 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: ability happens to be. It's the same thing, you know, 348 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: if you're if you're a golfer and you're lost in 349 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: your head, Well, i gotta put my golf club down, 350 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: and I've got to swing back this far. I gotta 351 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: twist my body. You know, you get into those contortions 352 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: rather than just getting up to the ball knowing and 353 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: having the confidence that you're trained to hit it and 354 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: doing it like you've done on the range fifty million 355 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: times before. You know, if you're not thinking, then you're 356 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: you're in a better place. That's the same with police work, 357 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: the same with you know, trauma surgeons, the same with anybody. Um. 358 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: It's just the only thing, the only explanation that makes 359 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: sense Busy is yours that they were told not to 360 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: go in this department. Michael Man uses everything. And I'm 361 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: telling you what, Sometimes the guys they're afraid to step 362 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: forward this lieutenant or that captain or whatever. And I 363 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: was in that situation many times when I worked for him. 364 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: I just want to kind of, you know, let you know, 365 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: this is not a reflection I don't want to be 366 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: very clear about this on police officers, law enforcement, first responders, 367 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: you know E M T guys wanted to go in 368 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: and they were told, no, it's crazy. I've never heard 369 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: anything like it. Um anyway, busy, thank you for what 370 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: you've done. One Shawn is the toll free telephone number.

It's hard to disarm 448 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: somebody with a blade, but we practice that also, and 449 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: we other practice all the other half defense efforts that 450 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: you might need in a in a pinch.

That was from a couple 528 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: of years ago. We've gotten a lot better since then. 529 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: All right, back to our phones, Larry in David, Florida. 530 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: How are you, Larry? We'll what's what's up? What's going on? Hey, Sean? 531 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: How you doing? Retired officer from Bryant County, and I 532 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: contend that they were doing what they were trained to do. Um. 533 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: The Browers Shriff's Office is a huge agency, okay, And 534 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: what they do is all the fresh meat that comes 535 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: out of the academy goes to the rough section like 536 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale and Papanau Beach, and then the older folks 537 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: get retired and put out to pass through in Weston 538 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: and Parkland where there's no crime. So back in the 539 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: day in the academy, we were trained when you're responding 540 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: to a shooter in a building, you get there, you 541 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: take up a position, and you wait for backup. And 542 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: now the current active shooter training is because active shooters 543 00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: now happens within two four minutes, you have have to 544 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: rush right in. So perhaps they didn't have current training 545 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: because of the rages and they were just out there 546 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: waiting to retire. The only thing that makes sense is 547 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: that their training was as you said, that's the only 548 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: because I don't know cops that would do this. I 549 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: don't know any that's the point, and you know, maybe 550 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: the one guy. Okay, that's the anomaly, not four. Ford 551 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: tells me that it was some type of protocol. Paul 552 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: real Quick in Missouri. Hey, Paul, how are you. I'm fine, Sean. 553 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: Thanks for thanking my call. I enjoy your show, Sean. 554 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: I live in uh Central Missouri. We're in a small town, 555 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: but our schools are locked down. UH. In fact, in 556 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: all of the county they are locked down. And the 557 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: only way you can get into our schools is you 558 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: have to push the intercom, identify yourself, and then inside 559 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: the school. We do have teachers, uh faculties that do carry. 560 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: We also have what we call UH grandparents Day and 561 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: uh a Daddy Day, and most of the dad to 562 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: go to the to their kids. UH. Some of them 563 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: are off duty officers, and course they're carrying. And the 564 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: biggest thing that I could think of, one of the 565 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: big things that schools could do is go to the 566 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: lockdown and the intercom system. You have to identify yourself. 567 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: If you have anything you're carrying, you have to leave it. 568 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: I think it's I think we can't count on people 569 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: to identify it though. Look, I think it's simple. Secure 570 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: the perimeter. You got to have a full threat assessment, 571 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 1: has got to be concealed, carry retired military police and 572 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: every floor of every building, and that that you have, 573 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: it's immediately whatever it is that happens contained and metal 574 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: detectors and I d S and I think I think 575 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: you solved the problem. You know, people don't want solutions. 576 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: I guess all right, let's get to some of the 577 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: other news when we get back. We've got the arrogance 578 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: of Hillary Clinton. What are the FISA court judges? What 579 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: do they think about being lied to and being told 580 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: and fed phony information and not told it's political. We'll 581 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 1: get to that. Also, we'll check in with the Florida 582 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: House of Representative speaker and former NYPD commissioner Bernie carrigg 583 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: All coming up, Director Comey or a good lawyer, can 584 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: you make out a great case the President Obama wiretap 585 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: Mr Trump's phones just part of the election. In light 586 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: of the fact you've said there's no evidence of that. 587 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: All I can say is what I said before that 588 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: we don't have any information that supports those tweets. Did 589 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: you seek the names of people involved in to unmask 590 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: the names of people involved in the Trump transition, the 591 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: Trump campaign, people surrounding the the president elect, let me 592 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: be get ordered to spy on them, and absolutely absolutely 593 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: not for any political purposes to spy expose anything. But 594 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: let me make the name of Mike Flynn. I leaked 595 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: nothing to nobody, and never have and never would. But 596 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: let let me explain uh this first of all, Andrea, 597 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: to talk about the contents of a classified report, to 598 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: talk about the individuals on the foreign side who were 599 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: the targets of the uh the report itself, or any 600 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: Americans who may have been collected upon, incidentally, is to 601 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: disclose classified information. I'm not going to do that, and 602 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: those people who are putting these stories out are doing 603 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: just that. I can't describe any particular report I saw it, 604 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: and by the way, I have no idea what reports 605 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: are allegedly are being described by those who are putting 606 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: out this story. I don't know what time frame they 607 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: were from, I don't know the subject matter, and I 608 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: don't know who uh they think was collected upon. The 609 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: allegation is that in one case, they are alleging in 610 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: the Daily Caller that there was a spreadsheet that you 611 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: put out of all of these names. Absolutely and certain 612 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: made it spreadsheet nothing all right. They have James Comey 613 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: admitting that he won't comment about FISA, but we do 614 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: know that in January he did say, oh, the dossier 615 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: is salacious, but it is not verified. The opposite of 616 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: what they said three months earlier when they made their 617 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: application of the FISA Court used the bought and paid 618 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: for dossier. Didn't tell the FISA Court judge anything. And 619 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: of course Susan Rice on what she has been saying 620 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: from the very beginning, admitting the unmasking aspects of Americans, 621 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: which we still need to get to the bottom of. 622 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: Here is a fascinating question that nobody is digging deep 623 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: into now that we know FISA Court judges there were 624 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: four of them, because you had the original application and 625 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: then you had the three subsequent renewals that took place. 626 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 1: Who were these FISA judges that approved the dossier warrant, 627 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: the people that were lied to, the people that were 628 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: given incomplete information on purpose. You know that people that 629 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: only got a footnote that had said, well it may 630 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: be political in teacher, You know, who are the people? 631 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: Who are these people now we're beginning to know because 632 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of speculation regarding all of this. 633 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: Remember in the case of Michael Flynn UH that you 634 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: had a DC Federal District Court judge in that particular 635 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: case that literally recused himself. Rudolph Contriaris is his name, 636 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: and he was recused from the Flynn case because he 637 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: also sits on the FISA Court. And one theory had 638 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: been that, in fact, the judge in this case might 639 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: have approved one or more of the pier surveillance applications. 640 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: But now we have some emails. One is two Congressman 641 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: Bob Goodlatt of the he's the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. 642 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: The other one to Devin Newness, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, 643 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: and the letter. Both of these letters are from a judge, 644 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: Rosemary Colin is her name, and she writes them. I'll 645 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: read one of them. I write in response to your 646 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: letter dated in the case of good Lad January sixteen, 647 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: in the case of new Nest February seven, eighteen, and 648 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: the request that the foreigns Valance Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court 649 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: confirm whether transcripts or of relevant uh PISA hearings associated 650 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: with matters described in the letter exist, and if so, 651 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: provide copies to the committee. As you know, any such 652 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: transcripts would be classified, and may also be helpful for 653 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: me to observe that, in a typical process of considering 654 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: an application, we make no systemic record of questions that 655 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: we ask or responses that the government gives. The Court 656 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: appreciates the interests, etcetera that the varying committees have in 657 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: terms of its operations and public confidence there in. And 658 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: as we have discussed with your staff, notwithstanding the existence 659 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: of Rule sixty two c two, the Court has never 660 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: previously received a request from Congress for the contents of 661 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: any specific Pies application order, nor has the Court provided 662 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: any to Congress. Thus, your request and others I have 663 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: received from Congress present novel and significant questions. Notice what 664 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: she said here novel and significant questions. Now that to 665 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: me is an interesting responsets. The considerations involved not only 666 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: prerogatives of the legislative branch, but also the interest of 667 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: the executive branch, including its responsibility for national security and 668 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: its need to maintain the integrity of any ongoing law 669 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: enforcement investigations. Thank you for your courtesy. Copy me on 670 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: your blanket date letter to the Department of Justice and 671 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: FBI which you made request information similar to the letter 672 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: to us. Those agencies possessed most, if not all, the 673 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: responsive materials the court might possess, and we have previously 674 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: made clear to the Department, both formally informally, we don't 675 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: object to any decision by the Executive Branch to release 676 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: any such FISA materials to Congress. Okay, I expect that 677 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: they're handling of your request will inform the Court is 678 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: to how the Executive Branch perceives its interests and will 679 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: assist us in our consideration of the full range of issues. Therefore, 680 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 1: we ask the Department of Justice to keep us informed 681 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: regarding this particular letter. Now I read this as that 682 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: this judge is pissed, Hannity. Why do you say the 683 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: judges pissed because the judge is saying this is interesting, 684 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 1: You know these this presents a novel and significant question, 685 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: and that they would conform to whatever the executive branch 686 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: tried to do here. Anyway, David Shown is an attorney, 687 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: and we welcome him back to the program. He's actually 688 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: involved in this case in a numerous different ways. Sarah Carter, 689 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: Fox News contributor investigative reporter. Uh, David, let me begin 690 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: with you. David, you have uh, you have read these letters. 691 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: Do you suspect that what I'm suspecting is accurate? That 692 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: the judges have to be pissed? These judges were lied 693 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: to systematically, lied to four separate occasions. Yes, I do msterianity. 694 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Judge Collier is a no nonsense judge. 695 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: And uh um, she makes very clear here. I think 696 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: it's an institutional um anger or frustration that is um 697 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: you know, you're presenting us with new questions here. Uh. 698 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: The Justice Department has all of the information at its hand. 699 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: It's for them, uh to to turn over this information 700 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: to you as a matter of first course, rather than 701 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: having the court be put in that position, which does 702 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: really raise the separation of powers question as she suggests. 703 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I have to digress for one second. 704 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 1: Following today's stories, look at how we've come full circle 705 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: today we have Secretary Clinton openly criticizing the administration for 706 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: not doing enough with the Russia, protecting against Russian intrusions 707 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. Is this now sort of 708 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: a campaign of covering every base, that is, we didn't 709 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: do anything wrong with the surveillance uh efforts, um, which 710 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: we now know you know a good bit about and 711 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: need to know a lot more about. But now it's 712 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: that not only didn't we do anything wrong then, but 713 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 1: now you're doing nothing to protect against the things that 714 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: we failed to protect against. It's almost laughable if it 715 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: weren't such a serious subject. I know. But let me 716 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: go back into the judge and these letters that she 717 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: sent her both good luck and newness, and they're identical. 718 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: I want to know, do you interpret this this this 719 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: judge is saying, yeah, this is novel and this is 720 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: new and there are significant questions. Is that the judge 721 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: kind of acknowledging that she's following in her particular case, 722 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: current events and new disclosures, and that she has figured 723 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: out pretty quickly that she's been manipulated a line to 724 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: I think so to some degree, it's a remarkable letter. Listen. 725 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: You know, the way the court operates, as you know, 726 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: is there's a duty judge assigned in Washington. Every week, 727 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: one of the eleven judges is assigned to it. There's 728 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: certain matters that the duty judge handles him or herself, 729 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: and there are other matters that have to be taken 730 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: up with the court. When the duty judge handles the 731 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: matters by herself or himself, they have the assistance of 732 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: the attorneys who are signed to the court in the clerks. 733 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 1: To now put this judge in the position of determining. 734 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: First of all, you know, the first question is whether 735 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: there were transcripts taken, and she sort of answers that 736 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: by saying, as a matter of course, we don't usually 737 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: keep transcripts. But the other is if or transcripts disclose them? 738 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: She says, then, as you pointed out, um uh, they 739 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: would be classified. But I think one of the keys 740 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: is what you focused on at the end, when she says, 741 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: at the end, we have previously made clear to the Department, 742 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: both formally and informally, that we do not object to 743 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: any decision by the executive brands to convey the compress 744 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: any such information. That's remarkable. Well, then we get Sarah 745 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: Carter into the whole conversation that went on earlier today 746 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 1: between the President on Twitter going after Jeff's sessions and saying, hello, 747 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: it's not the ide g's job. He doesn't have jurisdiction 748 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: to legally go after the visor abuses but you do. 749 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: And Jeff Sessions responding that we have initiated the appropriate 750 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: process to ensure that the complaints against the department will 751 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: be fully and fairly acted upon if necessary, and and 752 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: pushing back on his on his end, well, yes, and 753 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: I think I want to go back to that because 754 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: it's very important. I mean, what Horowitz can do is 755 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: that he can investigate this. But look along, the investigation 756 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,760 Speaker 1: has already taken into the use of a private server 757 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: and email system by Hillary Clinton. I mean, this has 758 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: been a year long process. We're expecting Horowitz's report on 759 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: the FBI is handling of that to be coming out 760 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: this March, but it probably might be extended until April, 761 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: so we could be looking at another year. And I 762 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: think what the President is saying is this is very 763 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 1: serious allegations of abuse by the FBI with the Fifth Court, 764 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: it's a violation of Fourth Amendment rights if those if 765 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: it's proven true that they did violate the court and 766 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: how they presented the evidence to the court, and so 767 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of go nowhere. So his frustration, obviously on Twitter, 768 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: is that here you are, you're the a g Can't 769 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: you put a prosecutor in front of this, and I 770 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: think it's really interesting, Sean, because we're seeing them battle publicly. 771 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: You know, you would think that he would just pick 772 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: up the phone and call Attorney General Jef Sessions and 773 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: talk to him about this, but he obviously there is 774 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: a great wall. They're a great divide between the two. 775 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: He's extraordinarily frustrated with the Attorney General and feel that 776 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: feels that the Attorney General isn't taking action on this 777 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 1: the way he needs to be, and he's calling him 778 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 1: out on it. And I think the American people should 779 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: be very concerned because without this moving forward, without an 780 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 1: active investigation into this, I think people are really concerned. 781 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: I know people within the intelligence community are, and I've 782 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: been speaking to them this week that this will be 783 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 1: buried and swept under the rug, that there will not 784 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: be justice in this, and that they will not be 785 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,800 Speaker 1: able to fix the problems that have like sprung out 786 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: over the last eight years, particularly with the FBI and 787 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: the seventh Floor and other people within the intelligence community 788 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: that may have been weaponizing what is considered a very 789 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,800 Speaker 1: significant tool in our system to tackle foreign threats and terrorism. Instead, 790 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 1: as someone told me today, it would be used against 791 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: us and that is something that is totally unacceptable. If 792 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: these judges um believe that they've been lied to, and 793 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: they were lied to, I've got to believe that they 794 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: are fuming. And the question is what options do they 795 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: have from this point and what does the what are 796 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: these letters telegraph to us? We'll get to that more 797 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: with David Shown. More with Sarah Carter, that's coming up 798 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: in mere moments one Shawn, if you want to be 799 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,280 Speaker 1: a part of the program. Also we have Bernie Carrick 800 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 1: is going to check in with us. He thinks the 801 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: Sheriff Israel down in Broward County needs to go and 802 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: it will explain why. And as we continue with David 803 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: Shown and Sarah Carter. Uh, fascinating uh exchange between Bob 804 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: Goodlatt and Devin Nowness with one of the Piso Court 805 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: judges and the Fiser Court judges said, yeah, this is 806 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: a novel and the novel and significant questions you are raising, 807 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,240 Speaker 1: and then gets into the issue what the executive branch 808 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: can do and you know, if the executive branch perceives 809 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: its interests, will assist us in our consideration of the 810 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: full range of issues. We have asked the Department of 811 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: Justice to keep us informed, which tells me that this 812 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 1: particular Piso core judge wants this information out yesterday because 813 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: this Piso cored judge, like the other three, were lied to. 814 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: So what what is the recourse now for the judges? 815 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: Wouldn't they have the ability to bring these people back 816 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: into their courtroom and say, why didn't you tell us 817 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: that you knew Hillary bought and paid for this? And 818 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: why didn't you tell us you didn't verify this? Absolutely? Look, 819 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: each each member of the Justice Department has appeared before 820 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: this court is considered an officer of the court. They 821 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: are subject at all times to being directed by the 822 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 1: court to come in and uh, let me say this, 823 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 1: I mean, without commenting on it politically from political point 824 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: of view, the fact of the matter is, Uh, this 825 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 1: most recent memo that we saw from the Democrats that 826 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: split tears between whether christoph cy was authorized, half payment 827 00:45:55,120 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: made the payment was actually made? Um, is really quite irrelevant. Um. Sure, 828 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: we would like to know whether payment was made or 829 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: not her anyone interested this would like to know what 830 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,280 Speaker 1: the court. So the representation med to the court must 831 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: be completely accurate, misleading. Sarah, give you the last word. 832 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 1: Evan agree Uh, they need to be completely forthright with 833 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 1: the courts. It appeared that they were not. The judge 834 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: asks a very important question and and in the letter 835 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: to both good Luck and Newon Yes and Sean, I 836 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, stress again what she said is that the 837 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: Department of Justice has these documents. They are able to 838 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: turn these documents over to the congressional committees. And she 839 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: made that very very clear in her letter. And so 840 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: far as far as I know, I've spoken to sources, 841 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: they have not. And that is the big problem. And 842 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: now the court has to review the request. And it 843 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 1: is going to take the court quite some time to 844 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: review this question because they've never been asked this before. 845 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 1: All Right, We're going to continue this on Hannity tonight, 846 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: and of course the battle but between the president and 847 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 1: the Attorney General's office and the president's Twitter account and 848 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,359 Speaker 1: Attorney General sessions response, and we'll cover what this judge 849 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 1: is saying in this letter to good Lad of Newness. 850 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: And that's nine Eastern tonight on Hannity, Fox News Channel. 851 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll hit the phones eight nine one, 852 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: Shawn Told free telephone number, and we'll also take check 853 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,839 Speaker 1: in with Bernie Kerick is going to join us and 854 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: Richard Corcoran, who is the speaker of the Florida House 855 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: of Representatives.

UM, 859 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,360 Speaker 1: if you'll indulge me for a few minutes. On the 860 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: issue of the Reverend Billy Graham. I had one of 861 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: the last interviews with him. I was in awe of 862 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 1: what he did as he packed stadiums and and Madison 863 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: Square Garden and millions of people and every part of 864 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: the globe. This man went out and preach the gospel 865 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: and fought passionately for for people to get to their 866 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: their higher selves in life. And he just had a 867 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: profound impact on me. And the last time that he 868 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 1: publicly went out in New York was a pretty amazing experience. 869 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: And I was there to cover for the Fox News channel, 870 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,280 Speaker 1: and his funeral will be on Friday. I was invited 871 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: to the funeral and I was very honored. I'm a 872 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 1: good friend of Franklin Graham, and I just never know 873 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 1: with my schedule and news whether I could ever get away. 874 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: And if I committed to go down and last minute 875 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,320 Speaker 1: I have to pull out, it would have been a 876 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: slot for somebody else that I know would definitely be going. 877 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 1: So I had to I had to send my regrets 878 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 1: that I wouldn't be able to commit to it. Um anyway. 879 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,800 Speaker 1: So they had a service today and and Mitch McConnell 880 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: and UH Paul Ryan and the President, but the President's 881 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: and indulge me here because the President, I thought, captured 882 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: who this man was. And let me get back on 883 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: the other side of this. We'll take your calls, but 884 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: I want to play a few minutes of the President 885 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 1: at Billy Graham's service today. In the spring of nineteen 886 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: for Billy Graham's father allowed a group of Charlotte businessmen 887 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: to use a portion of the family's dairy farm to 888 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: gather for a day of prayer. On that day, the 889 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: men prayed for the city. They prayed that out of Charlotte, 890 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,719 Speaker 1: the Lord would raise up someone to preach the Gospel 891 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 1: to the ends of the earth. We are here today 892 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: more than eight years later because that prayer was truly answered. 893 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: Billy Graham was fifteen years old at the time, just 894 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 1: a few months later, he accepted Jesus Christ as his 895 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:47,240 Speaker 1: Lord and savior. That choice didn't just change Billy's life, 896 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: It changed our lives, It changed our country, and it 897 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: changed in fact, the entire world. The North Carolina farm 898 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 1: boy walked out of those fields into a great and 899 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 1: beautiful history. Starting at a small Bible school in Florida, 900 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: he soon led a nationwide revival, from a large tent 901 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles to one hundred thousand people in a 902 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,360 Speaker 1: single day at Yankee Stadium, to more than two million 903 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,880 Speaker 1: people at Madison Square Garden over sixteen weeks in nineteen 904 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,479 Speaker 1: fifty seven. And I remember that because my father said 905 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: to me, come on, son. And by the way, he said, 906 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:39,400 Speaker 1: come on, mom, let's go see Billy Graham at Yankee Stadium. 907 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 1: And it was something very special. But Americans came in 908 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 1: droves to hear that great young preacher. Fred Trump was 909 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: a big fan. Fred Trump was my father. In London, Tokyo, 910 00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:01,240 Speaker 1: Soul Bogat Moscow, New Delhi, Ssigon, Joe, Annisburg, and scores 911 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: of other places all over the world, Reverend Graham shared 912 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: the power of God's word with more than two hundred 913 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: million people in person and countless others through television and radio, 914 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: where people loved to watch and listen in With the 915 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: support of the Catholic Pictian who would soon become Pope 916 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: John Paul the Second, Reverend Graham went to Poland and 917 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:31,760 Speaker 1: spoke of the meaning of the Cross to a people 918 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 1: suffering under the soulless oppression of communism. Billy Graham carried 919 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 1: his message around the world, but his heart, as Franklin 920 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: will tell you, was always in America. He took his 921 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,799 Speaker 1: message to the poorest places, to the downtrodden, and to 922 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: the broken hearted, two inmates in prison, and to the 923 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:02,840 Speaker 1: overlooked and the next did he felt a great passion 924 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,240 Speaker 1: for those that were elected. Everywhere he went, Reverend Graham 925 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: delivered the same beautiful message, God loves You. That was 926 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 1: his message, God Loves You. We can only imagine the 927 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: number of lives touched by the preaching and the prayers 928 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: of Billy Graham, the hearts he changed, the sorrows he eased, 929 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: and the joy he brought to so many. The testimony 930 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,240 Speaker 1: is endless. Today we give thanks for this extraordinary life, 931 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: and it's very fitting that we do so right here 932 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: in the rotunda of the United States Capital, where the 933 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 1: memory of the American people is enshrined here in this room. 934 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:55,760 Speaker 1: We're reminded that America is a nation sustained by prayer. 935 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: The painting to my left is of the Pilgrims as 936 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 1: they embarked for America, holding fast to the Bible and 937 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: bowing their heads in prayer. Along these walls we see 938 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: the faces of Americans who prayed as they stood on 939 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 1: the Lexington Green, who prayed as they headed west, prayed 940 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:29,360 Speaker 1: as they headed into battle, and prayed as they marched 941 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 1: for justice, and always marched for victory. Around us stand 942 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 1: the statues of heroes who led the nation in prayer 943 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 1: during the great and difficult times, from Washington to Lincoln, 944 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 1: to Eisenhower to King and today in the center of 945 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 1: this great chamber Liz legendary Billy Graham, an ambassador for 946 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 1: Christ who reminded the world of the power of prayer 947 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:08,919 Speaker 1: and the gift of God's grace. Today we honor him 948 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 1: as only three private citizens before him have been so honored. 949 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:21,440 Speaker 1: And like the faithful of Charlotte once did, today we 950 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 1: say a prayer for our country that all across this 951 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 1: land the Lord will raise up men and women like 952 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 1: Billy Graham to spread a message of love and hope 953 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: to every precious child of God.

So well, 987 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,280 Speaker 1: my memory starves me to not repeat the same mistakes. 988 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:36,719 Speaker 1: And then you're like, I don't even wrote what that 989 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 1: guy did anymore. It's totally fine, No, it's actually not. 990 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,640 Speaker 1: We could talk about their contempt list. Yeah, a contempt 991 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 1: list and a hate list of the same thing, which 992 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna help me toss the tables. No tossing the tables, 993 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:53,319 Speaker 1: and right there was not supposed to be commerce in 994 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,359 Speaker 1: his father's house. It was supposed to be a house 995 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: of worship. And that is righteous indignation, which is very 996 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 1: different than and are I don't I just want to 997 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 1: toss the table? Can I just toss the table? In 998 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 1: the church? You want to toss the table? I want 999 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,879 Speaker 1: to toss the table. Well, you're not Jesus. So first 1000 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 1: of all, you don't have the right to Christ. When 1001 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 1: you get to heaven, you're gonna toss over a table 1002 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 1: when you're in you know, it says, you know, letting 1003 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 1: not your heart be troubled. And the first goes on. 1004 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: In my father's house are many mansions, and I go 1005 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: to prepare a place for you. You lost me, and 1006 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: let my your heart be trouble. Oh, good grace. All right, 1007 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 1: let's get to our phones. Shannon is in Michigan next 1008 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Hey Shannon, how are you great? How 1009 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 1: are you Sean? I'm good, what's happening? Thank you for 1010 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 1: speaking with me. I I'm a school teacher in Michigan, 1011 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 1: and I am very tired of legislators, my union, other 1012 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 1: teachers speaking for me, UM, I've held the CPL for 1013 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 1: eleven years, I'm an avid hunter for over twenty years, 1014 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 1: and I would love the opportunity to be able to 1015 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 1: protect my students in my classroom. They deserve that. My 1016 00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: students deserve that. I do serve that UM. Every morning 1017 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 1: I have to walk into my building and look at 1018 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 1: the sign on the wall that says country zone, and 1019 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 1: it's backs look at all the incidents that take place 1020 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 1: in gun free zones. I'm not focused on the teacher 1021 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: carry aspect um, but for a couple of reasons. Number one, 1022 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 1: I think teachers if they want to do it absolutely 1023 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 1: people like you that are are trained and understand the 1024 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 1: nature of a firearm or or are professional and it's use, etcetera. 1025 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: That's fine with me. But I've always thought that, okay, 1026 00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 1: for those teachers that might be uncomfortable, I have no 1027 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 1: problem with that. Their job is to teach. But we 1028 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 1: should have full security assessments, threat assessments. You should have 1029 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 1: the perimeter covered, you should have no entry point of 1030 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: anybody that doesn't belong in the school. You need an 1031 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 1: I D system. Uh, you definitely need metal detectors, and 1032 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 1: then you need enough concealed carry retired military and police 1033 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 1: on every floor of every school that they're right there. 1034 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 1: If something happens, it's contained to that one area, one hall, 1035 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 1: or one room. That's it. My school has all of 1036 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: that except for the metal defectors and anyone you know, 1037 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 1: carrying other than a police officer that would come into 1038 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 1: the building for other reasons. So you know, we have 1039 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 1: a very very UM up to date system and we 1040 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: receive training, updated training every single year UM with a 1041 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: crisis management officer for the entire county where we're at. Listen, 1042 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 1: you're not going to protect against an arms shooter with 1043 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 1: a with a slingshot. You're just not um as well 1044 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 1: trained as I am in the in mixed martial arts, 1045 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm not going to be able to 1046 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,919 Speaker 1: fight back at any distance with anybody with a gun. 1047 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm a dead duck. They got me. There's nothing you 1048 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 1: can do. That's what was so amazing in the Steve 1049 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,320 Speaker 1: schal Leae shooting. You know, in those cops literally going 1050 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,080 Speaker 1: up against a rifle in an open field. I never 1051 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 1: saw such bravery and they saved the day. It was amazing. 1052 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,720 Speaker 1: And as we continue eight nine for one, Shawn Tolfrey 1053 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 1: tele whole number. Let's get back to the phones. Shelley 1054 01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 1: is in Colorado. Next Sean Hannity Show, What's up, Shelly? 1055 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 1: How are you hey? Sean? Hey. I gotta say I 1056 01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 1: have to agree with Ethan yesterday. I thought you said 1057 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: one armed deputy, and I thought the same thing as Ethan, 1058 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 1: and so, oh my god, I was laughing too hard, 1059 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: and I was so happy that somebody else thought the 1060 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: same thing I didn't. I said there was only one 1061 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 1: armed deputy. You know, I didn't mean one armed deputy, 1062 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 1: only on one. There was only one deputy on duty 1063 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:33,760 Speaker 1: that was armed in a school that had thirty two kids. Absolutely, well, 1064 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: you know you can't. I can't win as a talk 1065 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 1: show host. It was awesome, though I needed to laugh. 1066 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 1: I lost a loved one to the Aurora Theater shooting. 1067 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,720 Speaker 1: It was my son's best friend, Alex Sullivan. And after 1068 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: that shooting, we all gathered at the makeshift and CRE 1069 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 1: created the makeshift memorial across the street from the theater, 1070 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 1: and as soon as we showed up, there was a 1071 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,680 Speaker 1: mainstream media there. They were just honest, like vultures. We 1072 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 1: had no time to two more, no time to converse 1073 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,840 Speaker 1: with others who had lost all once as well or 1074 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 1: who are who are survivors? And our privacy was invaded? 1075 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Um well, And it was also every town, every town 1076 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 1: was there in full force. But um I did speak 1077 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: to some of the media, and they did take down 1078 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: some of my quotes, but nothing that I stated. Um. 1079 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: When I expressed that I was still a strong supporter 1080 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: of the Second Amendment and I was an n r 1081 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 1: A member, made it into printer online or in any 1082 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 1: of the interviews. And then after you know, over time, 1083 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:32,800 Speaker 1: I was still there and they didn't even want to 1084 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 1: talk to me anymore. They were cherry picking people who 1085 01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 1: were calling for more gun control laws. And so yeah, 1086 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 1: I just got to say when I when I saw 1087 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 1: that happening over in Florida, UM, I was like, here 1088 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: we go again. Absolutely, here we go again. You know 1089 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 1: what the problem is, We're not learning, We're not learning 1090 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 1: from these experiences. And I am a strong believer that 1091 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 1: if we decide that every school in America is going 1092 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,040 Speaker 1: to get the proper threat assessment secure pretty they we're 1093 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: going to protect the kids and were at the very minimum, 1094 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:10,120 Speaker 1: I honestly think we can create a full proof system. 1095 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 1: I believe that strongly in the ability of military and 1096 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 1: police and trained individuals that would know exactly how to 1097 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,440 Speaker 1: secure any school in the country. Oh and and we 1098 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 1: are we going to say that money is the reason 1099 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: we can't afford to have concealed carry retired police and 1100 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 1: military there, that's not an excuse for me. All right, 1101 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 1: Thank you for a good call, Shelley, and I appreciate it. 1102 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 1: One armed police officer, meaning there was only one with 1103 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 1: a concealed carry permit. Quick break right back, We'll continue. 1104 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 1: We're not going to disclose the video at this time, 1105 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 1: and we may never disclose the video, depending on the 1106 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,760 Speaker 1: prosecution and the criminal case. Well, what I saw was 1107 01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 1: a deputy arrive at the west side the building twelve, 1108 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 1: take up a position, and he never went in. When 1109 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 1: did you find out that Deputy Peterson had not gone 1110 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 1: into the building. How soon after the shooting did you 1111 01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 1: know that? Uh? Not for days? Uh? We Uh? How 1112 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:21,200 Speaker 1: many investigators looked? I'm not sure because you spent much 1113 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 1: of the Wednesday night town hall on CNN committe with 1114 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: the entire Stoneman Douglas community, students and teachers and parents 1115 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 1: attacking the n r A, saying that police need more powers, 1116 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,040 Speaker 1: more money to prevent future tragedies. You didn't disclose any 1117 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 1: of this to the crowd. Then the Stoneman Douglas High 1118 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 1: School community, did you know it? Then? Did you know 1119 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 1: it Wednesday night? It was spoken about during that earlier, 1120 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 1: during that day. I'm not on a timeline for TV 1121 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 1: or any news show. We need to get it right, 1122 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: we need to get it accurate. We're talking about people's lives, 1123 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,400 Speaker 1: We're talking about a community. We need to corroborate, we 1124 01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 1: need to verify. And once we did the next day, 1125 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:02,680 Speaker 1: and I was I looked at the tape and I 1126 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 1: was certain that it happened the way I was told 1127 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 1: about the investigatives initially told me told about. Now we 1128 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,320 Speaker 1: know as many as four deputies never went and including 1129 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 1: the one that was on site when the shooting began, 1130 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 1: that was armed, concealed carry and even had a bulletproof vest. 1131 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 1: And there's Sheriff Scott Israel saying that, yeah, the deputy 1132 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 1: never went in. Now the E M T s also 1133 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 1: were not allowed in. And Sheriff Israel saying, you know, 1134 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the video. That wasn't my job. 1135 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 1: It's not my fault when my deputies fell. I've given 1136 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 1: amazing leadership as the Broward sheriff. Uh then the saying 1137 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,600 Speaker 1: the Promise program, I'll explain that in a minute wasn't responsible. 1138 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,960 Speaker 1: And here we are. I mean, it just takes my 1139 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 1: breath away. Now, former New York City Police commissioner, he 1140 01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 1: was the commissioner during nine eleven. Bernie Carrick, you know, 1141 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 1: feels the way I do. He said, it's outrageous about 1142 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 1: these reports. I've never heard anything like this before. And 1143 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: these deputies are constitutionally bound to engage the shooter and 1144 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 1: protect the students. And he has called on the Broward 1145 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 1: County Sheriff, Scott Israel to step down following all these 1146 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 1: revelations and all these reports. Then you have the how 1147 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 1: Speaker of Florida, Richard Corcoran, you know, said the Obama 1148 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 1: era no rest policy may have shielded the Florida shooter. 1149 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 1: Remember there, with thirty nine visits to this guy's house 1150 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: in seven years, thirty nine, maybe maybe we should have 1151 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 1: just had set up a coffee shop in there. For 1152 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 1: crying out loud, how many times do you have to 1153 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 1: be warned about one particular person. We had two FBI 1154 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,920 Speaker 1: very specific warnings. One you know of a posting of 1155 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 1: this guy you know that goes out there Nicolas crew 1156 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 1: saying that, well, I want to be a professional school shooter. 1157 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,160 Speaker 1: Who would ever post that on social media? Another one 1158 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 1: a woman calling in giving a tip he's gonna go 1159 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 1: shoot up a school, and that nobody ever went to 1160 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 1: check it out. How do we have so many of 1161 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,480 Speaker 1: these failures happen anyway? Joining us now the two people 1162 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: I just mentioned, and that's the speaker of the Florida 1163 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,840 Speaker 1: House of Representatives, Richard corcran and also former m y 1164 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,000 Speaker 1: p D commissioner who's on the job on nine eleven, 1165 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, Bernie Carrig. Welcome both of you 1166 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: back to the program. And uh, Bernie, I, I you know, 1167 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 1: I know cops. My whole family was cops and my 1168 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 1: my mother worked in corrections, my father worked in family 1169 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,360 Speaker 1: core probation. I had so many cousins that were m 1170 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,720 Speaker 1: y p D. I almost became m y p D, 1171 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,640 Speaker 1: as did you know so many other people in my 1172 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 1: family and the FBI. I've never heard of a single 1173 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 1: incident where one person wouldn't engage in a situation like this, 1174 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 1: never mind four and never mind telling e M T 1175 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:38,880 Speaker 1: S they can't go in and help the people that 1176 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 1: are injured. I gotta be honest, Sean, I've never heard 1177 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 1: anything like it. I have, Uh, you know, I commanded 1178 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:50,520 Speaker 1: fifty five thousand people in the NYPD UM forty one 1179 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 1: thousand uniforms that I have to tell you, I've never 1180 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: in my career, in my thirty year career, heard of 1181 01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: anything like this. The men and women that worked for 1182 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:03,439 Speaker 1: me and cups all around this country, they would be 1183 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 1: dying to get into that building to engage the shooter. 1184 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 1: So I have no conception of what these guys were doing. 1185 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,480 Speaker 1: This is what what they trained for, this is what 1186 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 1: this is why they commit to serve their communities. They 1187 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 1: know that these moments may come and they're ready for them, 1188 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,920 Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be ready. And the sheriff is responsible. 1189 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: He's responsible for their training, for their resources, for their actions. 1190 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 1: He's responsible for what they do and don't do. And 1191 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,360 Speaker 1: for him to stay sit on national television on CNN 1192 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: and say I bear no responsibility for what they didn't 1193 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,919 Speaker 1: do is absolutely out. It's ludicrous. Really, I've never heard 1194 01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 1: anything like that before. I never and I did. I'm 1195 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 1: doing a great job. I'm patting myself on the back 1196 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,439 Speaker 1: you know. I I go back to nine eleven, two 1197 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 1: thousand and one, and this is why we call them heroes, 1198 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 1: because you're the you're the police commissioner. And when the 1199 01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 1: second building came down, what you were about a block 1200 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:04,040 Speaker 1: away with the mayor, Rudy Giuliani and you you took 1201 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,479 Speaker 1: cover in a local store. And it took a while 1202 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,160 Speaker 1: for you to even get out of there because of 1203 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 1: all the smoke and dust and and everything that had 1204 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,440 Speaker 1: come out of that build those buildings. Your guys were 1205 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 1: going in one direction, while all the people that worked 1206 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,880 Speaker 1: in the building were going in another. And they knew 1207 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 1: the fireman, the policeman, the first responders, they knew what 1208 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,599 Speaker 1: they were headed into. They knew that that might be 1209 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,320 Speaker 1: their last day. Keep in mind when the second building 1210 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 1: come down, Yes we were there when the first when 1211 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:35,479 Speaker 1: when Tower one imploded, that was the second building to drop. 1212 01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: Men and women had already gone back into one. Even 1213 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 1: after the evacuation notices. They still went back into those buildings, 1214 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 1: knowing the perils inherent. I worked for one of the 1215 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,560 Speaker 1: best leaders I could imagine in my time, Rudy Giuliani, 1216 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 1: President Bush, George Pataki. But not once ever, if I 1217 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,080 Speaker 1: ever heard one of those guys say I showed amazing 1218 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 1: leadership during not eleven. I I just think it's outrageous 1219 01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,600 Speaker 1: listening to this. You know, that's such a that is 1220 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,320 Speaker 1: a really good point. I don't think anybody did, and 1221 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,799 Speaker 1: everybody wishes they could have done more, which is amazing. Uh. 1222 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: Let me bring in the Florida Speaker of the House 1223 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,400 Speaker 1: down there in Tallahassee, Richard Corcoran. Um, what about these 1224 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,639 Speaker 1: numerous reports of a stand down order of deputies during 1225 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 1: the school shooting in No now we're here in that too. 1226 01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,759 Speaker 1: Is that not only was a failing on the officers 1227 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: part to not go out, but now they're claiming that 1228 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 1: there were standown orders that that would have come from 1229 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 1: the highest level, and I think the commissioners right. I 1230 01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 1: mean for him to say that he had an amazing 1231 01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: leadership when the only thing amazing about what he's uh 1232 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,639 Speaker 1: exhibited so far as his arrogance. That's why seventy four 1233 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 1: of us on seventy four legislators represent almost thirteen million people. 1234 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: Under the constitution, the governor can remove somebody and suspend 1235 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: them for incompetence, malfeasance, misfeasons, neglective duty, of which he 1236 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,600 Speaker 1: scores high on all of the above. And so we 1237 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 1: sent that letter. The governor has sent down our state 1238 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,719 Speaker 1: law enforcement to take over the investigation. We know we're 1239 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,800 Speaker 1: being misled. Nobody believes he didn't know for eight days 1240 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: that this guy didn't go in. Uh, and he needs 1241 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 1: to He needs to be suspended and ultimately removed by 1242 01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 1: the Senate. Did you read Sarah Carter's piece about what 1243 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: some sixties six investigations going on into this particular sheriff's department. 1244 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it when I read that yesterday. Well, 1245 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,760 Speaker 1: what's amazing is it? By his own admissions, this is 1246 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 1: this is the chief law enforcement officer, the head of 1247 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 1: safety for the entire county. Number one, the box, the 1248 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,840 Speaker 1: buck stops with him. By his own words, he investigated 1249 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: the school resource officer who didn't go in. He's investigating 1250 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 1: the three outside who didn't go in. He's investigating that 1251 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 1: once they did go in, after the shooter was long gone, 1252 01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,760 Speaker 1: after they did go in, did they deny access to 1253 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,679 Speaker 1: first responders. He's investigating the voluntary contract that he entered 1254 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 1: into the superintendent, which we call a no arrest policy. 1255 01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 1: They call it, you know, the fancy words like promise program. Uh, 1256 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,479 Speaker 1: the no arrest policy that allowed the kid to bring 1257 01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,479 Speaker 1: in bullets and knives that should have been selonies and 1258 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 1: should have been under arrest. And then they bragged that 1259 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 1: crime was down in schools by O and that's the 1260 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 1: no arrest policy that they had, the guidelines for school discipline. 1261 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 1: You're saying that that hindered the ability of authorities to 1262 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,640 Speaker 1: prevent this, Yes, he basically said, just you know, uh, 1263 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,519 Speaker 1: don't ask, don't tell you know, So he basically said, 1264 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,760 Speaker 1: don't tell me, you know, you guys handle it. And 1265 01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 1: then they bragged how how many crimes and and uh, 1266 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:28,120 Speaker 1: acts of violence in the schools had plummeted. Well, the 1267 01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 1: plummeted because in O eight they put in this no 1268 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 1: arrest policy and people like this murderer, who would have 1269 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:37,040 Speaker 1: been arrested numerous times for felonies, including bringing both to school, 1270 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,840 Speaker 1: bringing knives to school, was just passed along the system. 1271 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 1: By the way, it also, in one sense, had they 1272 01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,439 Speaker 1: done that numerous times, maybe he would have, you know, 1273 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:48,800 Speaker 1: woken up one morning in a prison cell and said, 1274 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:50,240 Speaker 1: you know what I need this like I need a 1275 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 1: hole in the head, and and turned around and I 1276 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,640 Speaker 1: know that has happened to many people. And Bernie, I know, 1277 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,280 Speaker 1: you know because of the you know years you ran 1278 01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 1: the correction department. But let me ask if Bernie caring 1279 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 1: about this all of you know, if you're gonna go 1280 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 1: and visit a family's home thirty nine times, if the 1281 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 1: kids thrown out of school, the kid can bring a 1282 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:15,080 Speaker 1: backpack to the school. Uh, then the FBI was worn 1283 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,400 Speaker 1: specifically about the dangers of this kid. You got a 1284 01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 1: screenshot saying I want to be a professional school shooter. 1285 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:26,479 Speaker 1: I mean, this is such a massive, spectacular fail, epic fail. 1286 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:30,559 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I can't even explain it away. 1287 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,360 Speaker 1: It makes and everyone to talk about guns. We we 1288 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,760 Speaker 1: knew and honestly shown there's no explanation the show so 1289 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 1: many of these. But there's one thing that hasn't been 1290 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,759 Speaker 1: picked up on. And I think the Speaker and the governor, 1291 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 1: I think this is something they should look at. Um, 1292 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: they went to this guy's house over a period of time, 1293 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 1: depending on who you talk to, between twenty three and 1294 01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,280 Speaker 1: forty five times. Let's say there's a law in the 1295 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 1: state of Florid called the Baker Act. The Baker Act 1296 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:02,720 Speaker 1: gives the police a judge, a mental health authority and 1297 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:07,799 Speaker 1: a physician. The authority the the constitutional authority by Florida 1298 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:14,080 Speaker 1: to basically involuntarily commit someone for mental observation for a 1299 01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,599 Speaker 1: period of time and take their weapons if they have any. 1300 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:22,240 Speaker 1: I I find it unfathomable that that all the calls 1301 01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: that we've heard about where they went to this guy's house, 1302 01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 1: that sheriff and that sheriff's department, and nobody took his weapons.

Yeah, by the way, I know 1318 01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,840 Speaker 1: that's true. And I've had a pistol carry permit for 1319 01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,320 Speaker 1: the city for you know, eighteen years. I know absolutely 1320 01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:28,559 Speaker 1: that's true, and that's happened to people, and and it's 1321 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,480 Speaker 1: just an allegation. It doesn't even have to be proven 1322 01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,759 Speaker 1: to be a call. They will take the guns until 1323 01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,040 Speaker 1: it's figured out. Right. As we continue, former NYPD commissioner 1324 01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:41,720 Speaker 1: during nine eleven, two thousand and one, burning characters with 1325 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 1: US Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, Richard Corkor, 1326 01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:48,519 Speaker 1: and then we're talking about this incompetent sheriff Israel down 1327 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,960 Speaker 1: in Broward County and what should happened next? From the 1328 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,280 Speaker 1: state level, Richard, what's gonna happen? I mean, the governor 1329 01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 1: now has taken over the investigation or state officials are, 1330 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 1: and from there is there a review process. US can 1331 01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 1: be suspended immediately. What do you make all these public 1332 01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,439 Speaker 1: comments he's making, Well, it's not my job. I did 1333 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 1: a great job. Well, I think the governor by sending 1334 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,800 Speaker 1: down FDL E, he's probably told them expedite this. I 1335 01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 1: need answers fast, and the second he's comfortable with where 1336 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 1: they're at, I think he'll My inclinition is he would 1337 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,080 Speaker 1: probably suspend him right away. Today we're in session right now, Sean. 1338 01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,880 Speaker 1: We just issued nine subpoenas where he says we're not, 1339 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, releasing the videos under the authority of the House. 1340 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,400 Speaker 1: We sent down subpoenas today. We want every video, every radio, 1341 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,720 Speaker 1: every document, all incidents relating to this kid. Um. I 1342 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,040 Speaker 1: think his his days are numbered, There's no question about it. 1343 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,240 Speaker 1: The question is just when that what? When? How soon 1344 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,680 Speaker 1: is it? You know, I just again, it's unfathomable. I 1345 01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,920 Speaker 1: know there's been a lot of discussion Bernie about you know, 1346 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,400 Speaker 1: the FBI and the deep State and the d o J, 1347 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,559 Speaker 1: and they didn't inform the FISA court. Now we have 1348 01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,280 Speaker 1: all the missigns down here in Florida. I just want 1349 01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,680 Speaker 1: to be very clear. This is these are not the 1350 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 1: FBI guys, This is not the police people. This is 1351 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 1: not the share of people that I know in my life. 1352 01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,800 Speaker 1: You know, the people that I know we're with you 1353 01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,360 Speaker 1: on nine eleven, you know, running up the towers and 1354 01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: ultimately giving their lives to save people. That's that's Those 1355 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,760 Speaker 1: are the police, first responders, fireman that I know. Yeah, 1356 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,840 Speaker 1: but you know what, Sean, they're still out there, you know, 1357 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:21,439 Speaker 1: you listen, I know plenty of line duty FBI agents 1358 01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 1: and cops all over this country. UM. I have an 1359 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 1: enormous amount of respect and admiration for all of them. 1360 01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 1: They do a job that nobody would have really has 1361 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,679 Speaker 1: the courage to do. UM. They actually put their lives 1362 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 1: on the line for people. I think the things that 1363 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:39,960 Speaker 1: we have seen over the last several months, UM, with 1364 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 1: regard to the FBI and the fies A court, honestly 1365 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 1: that that stuff is at the top of the chain, 1366 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 1: which the President is going to have to deal with, 1367 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,600 Speaker 1: the Attorney General is gonna have to deal with. But 1368 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,679 Speaker 1: the line agents, you know, for the most part, they're 1369 01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 1: the best that you know, they are the best investigative 1370 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 1: service in the world. In this case where that things missed, yes, 1371 01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to learn from it. They're gonna 1372 01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 1: have to fix it, and they're gonna have to get 1373 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: back at there and show people are credible. But I've 1374 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,759 Speaker 1: gotta I've gotta run. But I don't want to listen. 1375 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,919 Speaker 1: I don't sweep for the broad brush on this program, 1376 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,920 Speaker 1: and I still maintain the ninety nine are the people that, 1377 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 1: thank God, do these jobs that keep us safe and 1378 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 1: protect us.

Because, by 1449 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 1: the way, it's the most important drink in my If 1450 01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't have it, you're in trouble. Just like every 1451 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,720 Speaker 1: good story, it starts with a girl. So yeah, in 1452 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 1: I was taking some classes at a at a community college. 1453 01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:14,360 Speaker 1: I met this barista and she she got me to 1454 01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,320 Speaker 1: come in and and well, I don't know if she 1455 01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 1: got me to come in. And I started coming into 1456 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,439 Speaker 1: the coffee shop a little bit more frequently. I started 1457 01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:24,360 Speaker 1: drinking espresso and I loved it, Like I fell in 1458 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 1: love with espresso to the point where, you know, I 1459 01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,200 Speaker 1: would take short trips when I was in college over 1460 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,200 Speaker 1: to Seattle and I was diving into these little boutique 1461 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,080 Speaker 1: coffee shops. And at that time, you know, coffee wasn't 1462 01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 1: so pervasive everywhere right you could. You had to go 1463 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,760 Speaker 1: search this stuff out. And I started searching this stuff out, 1464 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,280 Speaker 1: and I really dove into the nitty gritty and the 1465 01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,880 Speaker 1: details of coffee really early. It's over twenty years ago 1466 01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 1: now it's kind of hard to believe. Um. And then 1467 01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,880 Speaker 1: as a soldier deploying back and forth, you couldn't find 1468 01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,800 Speaker 1: good coffee anywhere. It was instant coming out of an 1469 01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:00,200 Speaker 1: m R. E. Or it was really bad coffee that 1470 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,960 Speaker 1: you're getting what's called a dining facility. Uh So I 1471 01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,920 Speaker 1: really went down the rabbit hole on roasting because I 1472 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:09,880 Speaker 1: was trying to find the perfect cup of drip and 1473 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:14,559 Speaker 1: the perfect espresso. So in two thousand seven, I got 1474 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,559 Speaker 1: my first roaster and I really started pouring my heart 1475 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,560 Speaker 1: into this. Plus it was something completely different. You know 1476 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,800 Speaker 1: a lot of guys said, I want to come home 1477 01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,280 Speaker 1: and do R and R right. Well, what I called 1478 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,519 Speaker 1: it was the three RS is like reading, running, and roasting. 1479 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 1: Coffee kind of gave me a little bit of a 1480 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 1: break from what I was doing overseas, and it allowed 1481 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 1: me to take something with me and I could replicate 1482 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: the same cup of coffee that I was having, you 1483 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 1: know in the mountains of Idaho or you know, on 1484 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:46,200 Speaker 1: the coastal lines of Oregon. I could take that overseas 1485 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,879 Speaker 1: to Afghanistan in Iraq, and I could replicate the perfect 1486 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,280 Speaker 1: cup of coffee anywhere I was. I could start my 1487 01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,000 Speaker 1: day knowing at least this is what I could control. 1488 01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,360 Speaker 1: So you found this interest, but I really, and I'm 1489 01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 1: not saying this because you're an advertiser. I when I 1490 01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:04,800 Speaker 1: the coffee is distinctly better and different. What I tried 1491 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:08,360 Speaker 1: to go after was the perfect cup of drip. I 1492 01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,439 Speaker 1: just wanted to find the perfect cup of drip. And 1493 01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:12,800 Speaker 1: then I started adding espressos and a few of these 1494 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 1: other things. Drip coffee. When you say that it's like 1495 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,800 Speaker 1: a MSR coffee machine, Yeah, yeah, because and and that's 1496 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 1: where just black, one of my blends, came from. Every 1497 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,800 Speaker 1: time I ordered coffee, I don't order it with cream 1498 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,640 Speaker 1: or sugar, I say just black, And I wanted to 1499 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 1: buy the way. That's my favorite, that's all. I I 1500 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,719 Speaker 1: always foll my whole life just black and put nothing 1501 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 1: in the way to drink coffee. In my opinion, Yeah, 1502 01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,599 Speaker 1: And because if you've got to put sweeteners and milk 1503 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:38,840 Speaker 1: and a bunch of other things in your coffee, that 1504 01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:42,120 Speaker 1: means the coffee isn't very good. And that's what that 1505 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,080 Speaker 1: what coffee is. So that's how Starbucks has gotten so 1506 01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:50,160 Speaker 1: successful by making crappy coffee and putting caramel and frappuccinos 1507 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 1: and uh you know, uh whip cream all over it 1508 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,759 Speaker 1: to disguise the taste. Well. And sugar is a highly 1509 01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,879 Speaker 1: addictive substance to you, So you're adding two different addictive 1510 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:02,639 Speaker 1: substance into a drip ink and ultimately you do you're you're, you're, 1511 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,439 Speaker 1: you're roasting is inferior if you have to add sugar 1512 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:07,320 Speaker 1: and milk into it. And I'm not you know, people 1513 01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 1: people take their coffee the way they take it. I 1514 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:11,840 Speaker 1: don't judge them. I just make the coffee. I just 1515 01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 1: try to make the best. But talk about So this 1516 01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 1: is a veteran company, you hire mostly vets, and you've 1517 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 1: built this thing out, and America's responded, Oh absolutely. I 1518 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,719 Speaker 1: mean I don't know many companies that grow what seven 1519 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 1: percent in a year. Yeah, that's that's a little off 1520 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,559 Speaker 1: the hook. Yeah. Well, I think people wanted this just 1521 01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:33,640 Speaker 1: as much as I did. And I was tired of 1522 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:37,320 Speaker 1: walking into coffee shops because you've been a Starbucks. What 1523 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,439 Speaker 1: do you think of Starbucks? Because every time I go 1524 01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:43,160 Speaker 1: in there, it's the same scene. It's a bunch of hippies, 1525 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 1: long hair, Hillary supporters, Bernie supporters. They look at me 1526 01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 1: like I have fifteen heads reading the New York Times 1527 01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,759 Speaker 1: and out with their computer. It's just the whole scene 1528 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: is not my scene. That's the premium coffee scene. Just 1529 01:24:57,439 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 1: in general, what you just described is what I start, 1530 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 1: a black rifle coffee for Americans. The people that put 1531 01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 1: the lights on around here, the guys that are carrying 1532 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 1: rifles overseas, their construction workers that are partings and women. 1533 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,599 Speaker 1: Somebody hasn't forgotten about those because that's my that's my dad, 1534 01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,400 Speaker 1: that's my grandpa, that's my uncle, these are the people 1535 01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,640 Speaker 1: that I know have served the country and not only that, 1536 01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,639 Speaker 1: continue to serve the country, and they deserve a higher 1537 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,000 Speaker 1: quality product and they shouldn't have to deal with the 1538 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 1: BS going to these progressive wing nut institutions. I want 1539 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 1: my dollars. I want to vote with my dollars, and 1540 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:35,519 Speaker 1: I want my dollars that go to help vets in 1541 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:41,400 Speaker 1: a future careers in their businesses and and and I'll 1542 01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,720 Speaker 1: just throw Starbucks out there again. Their values are not 1543 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,160 Speaker 1: my values. And I know they're big, and I know 1544 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,680 Speaker 1: they're rich, but I frankly think that once people understand 1545 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,320 Speaker 1: what Black Rifle Coffee is about how good the product is. 1546 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 1: You know, if you start building out stores around the country, 1547 01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,000 Speaker 1: I think people will flock to them. Because there's half 1548 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,280 Speaker 1: the country that listens to the Starbucks CEO and they 1549 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 1: roll their eyes and they're like, why don't have to 1550 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,559 Speaker 1: go to that store because they pretty much have had 1551 01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:09,680 Speaker 1: a monopoly now for a lot of years. Well, and 1552 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,000 Speaker 1: I think that's that's the premise of Black Rifle Coffee. 1553 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,080 Speaker 1: It's it's a coffee company that supports what we believe 1554 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,879 Speaker 1: is the true American value system, and it is America's coffee. 1555 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 1: And that's where let me get to Matt. So how 1556 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,519 Speaker 1: did you hire Matt? And how did these videos? Because 1557 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 1: they all go so viral and then I read comments. 1558 01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:30,040 Speaker 1: Then you get in trouble and I'm like, because you're 1559 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,960 Speaker 1: you're shooting guns, but you did serve your country. You 1560 01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,679 Speaker 1: were in the military, they did train you to shoot guns. 1561 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 1: You put yourself on harm's way for your country, both 1562 01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:40,280 Speaker 1: of you and and many of the people that work 1563 01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,799 Speaker 1: for you. And then people get mad that you're showing 1564 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 1: your skills on a video. You know, it's a satirical 1565 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,800 Speaker 1: representation of of my hobbies and my values. And I 1566 01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:49,760 Speaker 1: enjoy shooting guns and if you look at anything, we're 1567 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 1: probably some of the most safe fire arms handlers you'll 1568 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,719 Speaker 1: ever see. And when I was contracting back for the agency, 1569 01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 1: I had some downtime once in a while, and that's 1570 01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 1: when I just started writing these kind of crazy skits 1571 01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:01,000 Speaker 1: to entertain my immediate friends and family. And they they 1572 01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,439 Speaker 1: took off very quickly, and then we kind of figured 1573 01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:04,960 Speaker 1: out a way to monetize them. I had started an 1574 01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,559 Speaker 1: apparel company and then you know, Evan had brought coffee 1575 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 1: to the table, and that's it was just a great thing. 1576 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: I wake up every morning how my cup of Joe 1577 01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,360 Speaker 1: and being able to see I would like to go 1578 01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 1: to a Black Rifle coffee shop. This is my dream 1579 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,599 Speaker 1: for you guys. I'd like to go with my town 1580 01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:24,080 Speaker 1: and I know all across America, all that big red 1581 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 1: mass that is America. Um. I think every small town 1582 01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 1: and every city that had a Starbucks, if a Black 1583 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 1: Rifle Coffee Company store open, I I guarantee you everybody 1584 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:39,840 Speaker 1: would choose that. At least the people that I know 1585 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,800 Speaker 1: to listen to this audience on this show and on TV, 1586 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,200 Speaker 1: we'd go there. That's where I would And I'd like 1587 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,720 Speaker 1: to meet other veterans. I like to meet people that 1588 01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,519 Speaker 1: share my values, people that aren't sitting there with the 1589 01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,800 Speaker 1: New York Times believing that's gospel and understand that it's 1590 01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,160 Speaker 1: fake news. And uh, for me, that would be I 1591 01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,840 Speaker 1: would love that experience. That is yeah, that's coming. Over 1592 01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:05,559 Speaker 1: the next three years, we're gonna see over fifty retail 1593 01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 1: locations for coffee. And you know that that is one 1594 01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 1: near my house with that would be fair, right yea. UM. 1595 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Now, you have all the people 1596 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 1: that support you though because you got a lot of 1597 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,000 Speaker 1: feedback from the people to buy your coffee. You know. 1598 01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 1: It was funny because one of my best friends said 1599 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:27,960 Speaker 1: to me the other day he heard me doing the 1600 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,240 Speaker 1: ad for your your coffee, and he said, it's the 1601 01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: only coffee I've ever bought. You know, I bought it 1602 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,400 Speaker 1: since they've gotten in business. Once people buy it, try it, 1603 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,559 Speaker 1: they like it. Do you assuming you're getting the same feedback. 1604 01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,400 Speaker 1: And also the feedback is like, I'm not giving it 1605 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,719 Speaker 1: to these big companies that don't care about our veterans. 1606 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:45,559 Speaker 1: I mean, you're doing two things at once. Here you're 1607 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,640 Speaker 1: getting a great product and you're supporting American vets, and 1608 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 1: we're building a community. It's coffee with the cause. We 1609 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,760 Speaker 1: want to have the ability to actually directly engage with 1610 01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,599 Speaker 1: their customer base, whereas you know, larger corporate entities they 1611 01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:58,960 Speaker 1: don't care. It's just it's how do I shave margins 1612 01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:00,640 Speaker 1: to make it the most profit Where we want to 1613 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 1: make a difference, and we want to give back to 1614 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 1: the community that put us where we are today and 1615 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:06,439 Speaker 1: and have supported our company and put put us in 1616 01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 1: a position where we can actually do what we love 1617 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,160 Speaker 1: every morning. And people who need to understand that the majority. 1618 01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:13,120 Speaker 1: And when I say the majority of big coffee companies 1619 01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,880 Speaker 1: are all owned by a German holding company, right, and 1620 01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: that they don't have a soul there and they're not 1621 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 1: looking out for the American values. They're looking out for profit. 1622 01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:23,600 Speaker 1: That's what they're looking out for. So when we go 1623 01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,760 Speaker 1: to work every day, our subculture is directly interfaced with 1624 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,760 Speaker 1: the veteran subculture. That's who we're working, That's who we're 1625 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,200 Speaker 1: going to work.

Um, 1644 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:34,000 Speaker 1: looking back, is that the choice you'd make again? Matt? Absolutely, 1645 01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,960 Speaker 1: one through my country was. I think about it to 1646 01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:38,599 Speaker 1: this day, and I mean, I think that's what it's 1647 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:40,800 Speaker 1: so engraved in our DNA that we're still trying to 1648 01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:43,160 Speaker 1: serve a country, just in a different capacity in business 1649 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:44,880 Speaker 1: these days. But it was the best experience in my 1650 01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:46,760 Speaker 1: whole entire life. It's kind of I love win win. 1651 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you're doing something you love, you're doing something 1652 01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:52,000 Speaker 1: making a product that people love, and you're helping vets 1653 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,160 Speaker 1: in the meantime, right, I mean yeah, And did you 1654 01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:57,080 Speaker 1: like your time? Oh? Absolutely? In all. Second, what what 1655 01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:00,200 Speaker 1: Matches said, which is it was outside of of the 1656 01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:03,080 Speaker 1: birth of my my first and second child. It was 1657 01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,800 Speaker 1: the fine careful because your youngest is eight months old, 1658 01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,759 Speaker 1: and they don't teach these children how to talk, because 1659 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:12,600 Speaker 1: they will talk. They will and they'll do it effectively annoyingly. 1660 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:16,280 Speaker 1: So I loved every and when I say not every minute, 1661 01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:19,760 Speaker 1: but I loved the entire evolution and service that I 1662 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:23,519 Speaker 1: had from eighteen to just three years ago. I was 1663 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 1: serving pretty much every day of my life. And I 1664 01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:28,760 Speaker 1: love this country. I think that's what people need to 1665 01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:32,960 Speaker 1: understand more. It's it's not necessarily about the service. It's 1666 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 1: about love of country. It's I love my family, I 1667 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:38,719 Speaker 1: love my community. I love my country, and I'm proud 1668 01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:40,640 Speaker 1: of it and I want to defend it.
