Everyone wants to know what 37 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: led up to this, Are there any additional threats to 38 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: public safety? Is this person or was this person by themselves? 39 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: There are a lot of questions that we want to answer, 40 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: but we have to answer the safety questions first, and 41 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: then we'll move on to some of the more investigatory questions. 42 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 6: As I am not known dehin, I'm. 43 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: Wondering about the metal detectors you mentioned are in the first. 44 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 6: Meaning that you were not a fan, but I that 45 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 6: this school probably doesn't have them, and. 46 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: Do you know other schools that do? 47 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 6: Do you think that that's something shout. 48 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 3: Talking about in school? 49 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: I guess the question is would you want your child 50 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: to go to a school with or without metal detectors? 51 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: I I can't answer that. 52 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: I can't right now. 53 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: It's yeah out yeah, abs absolutely. So the idea is 54 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: to create the safest environment that we can without metal detectors. 55 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 2: That is my answer. 56 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: But that U Jesus uh shooting at a Christmas school 57 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: right before the. 58 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: Uh print Christmas holiday? Can you address the impact of that? 59 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 7: And is there Christmas holiday at all in your belief 60 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 7: related to as a motivation. 61 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: For the shoot? Yeah. 62 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: So to again to the question of moti motivation, we 63 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: don't know why. But to the question of so close 64 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: to Christmas, we have a lot of people gonna be impacted. 65 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: It's a Christian school, then obviously our holidays, our Christian 66 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: holidays are very important, uh to the students, very important. 67 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: It's a time for family, students probably getting ready to 68 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: go out on break, and now the break will be 69 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: a little less about celebrating uh Christmas than more about 70 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: celebrating perhaps friends and loved ones and staff members who perhaps. 71 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: Lost their life. 72 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking everyone to, of course uh keep 73 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: uh abundant life c Christian School uh in your thoughts 74 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: and in your prayers and get a couple more okay, okay, 75 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: real quick feet. 76 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 8: So it's a private school that takes public money people 77 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 8: about your system. So what has this revealed about in 78 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 8: these guts and security or training for a staff? Is 79 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 8: that something you're thinking about about whether. 80 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: Schools or hy do that takes public money you need 81 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: to do? 82 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 9: You know? 83 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: K on cloud of public school what it comes to 84 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: say to you, Well, well, what I'm telling you is 85 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: is that, Uh, in nineteen ninety seven, I began my 86 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: professional career. 87 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: As a public school teacher. 88 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: I taught history for four years before becoming a police officer, 89 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: so I did not get far enough to take courses 90 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: in administration and budgeting of schools. I don't know what 91 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: governs private schools if they receive. 92 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: Money, where that comes from. 93 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: That would probably be a question that you would probably 94 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: need to ask someone who's more intimately involved in the 95 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: school system and what their requirements are if they do 96 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: receive that. But you could probably compare what has happened 97 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: or what goes on their security measures with the security 98 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: measures of any school. 99 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: In MMSTY, and then that will may give you an answer. 100 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: That's criticisms to other law departments and their response to 101 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: these school is. 102 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 6: Particularly involving how did that inform your game plan today? 103 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 6: And how quickly were your officers able to get into 104 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 6: the school. 105 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 2: What were they trying to do? 106 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: Sure, we train on this, as I spoke about earlier. 107 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: When officers arrive on the on the scene, they immediately 108 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: go in, which we did in this case. Stop the threat, 109 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: stop the killing, find the killer. That's how we train, 110 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what we did to today. There's no waiting, 111 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: there's no coordination of who's in charge. Everyone knows exactly 112 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: what to do. I spoke about this earlier. We train 113 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: on this constantly, our commanders, including the fire chief, and 114 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: I was in a commander's training less than two weeks 115 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: ago going over this exact same scenario for another fictional location. 116 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: And so all of that came into play today, and 117 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: our officers perform extremely well based on their training and 118 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: based on the expectations that they know exactly. 119 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: What to do. 120 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: Stop the threat, stop the killing, find the threat, hold on. 121 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 10: Thank you all right, thank you very much for tuning 122 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 10: into this hour of Special Reports.

There may be somewhe a longer range, longer duration, 180 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 11: but this is the nature of drones and what you've seen. 181 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 11: Our military has been using and experimenting drones since the 182 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 11: nineteen sixties. My father was flying drones off his ships 183 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 11: now to keep pace with that technology. The advance of 184 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 11: technology has made this a toy for every kid. So 185 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 11: everyone's in the drone business. Everyone has and can use 186 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 11: drune So we've got to just accordingly, especially if we 187 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 11: consider to be those to be threats, and they are 188 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 11: for just a safety perspective, if not anything else. 189 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 9: And really I want to ask you, you know, when 190 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 9: you look kind of overall and don't just look at 191 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 9: what's happening in New Jersey and as isolated event, you 192 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 9: look at Langley. You look at the drones that have 193 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 9: been flying over our military bases since twenty twenty two, 194 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 9: the Germany military base in UK. Are you concerned at 195 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 9: all about the fact that they're focusing on military basis, energy, infrastructure. 196 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 11: It's everywhere. Of course I'm concerned, but it's a tough problem. 197 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 11: You need a radar that can detect them, and then 198 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 11: once you detect them, what do you do about it. 199 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 11: You're not going to shoot bullets at it, you're not 200 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 11: going to shoot lasers at it. Even jamming them is 201 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 11: problematic because of the collateral damage in the area that's 202 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 11: dealing with. So I think the first thing we've got 203 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 11: to to establish processes and systems that identify ivs, you know, 204 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 11: offer rewards for people who can identify where they're coming 205 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 11: from or where they're landing. So it's a problem we 206 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 11: all got addressed, and the specifically not just the military installations, airports, 207 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 11: other security, commercial security. It's a concern and threat for 208 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 11: all of these venues. 209 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, and this is something you know, being able to 210 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 10: track them right, like you just mentioned, that's the most 211 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 10: important thing. Where are they coming from? Where are they landing? 212 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 10: In New York specifically they're preparing to deploy a high 213 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 10: tech drone detection system that, like I said, that's going 214 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 10: to be in New York State. Governor Kathy Hochel and 215 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 10: Senator Chuck Schumer. We're addressing these mounting concerns over the weekend. 216 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 10: So what can we expect to see from these new 217 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 10: efforts to try to identify these drones? What is this 218 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 10: detection system actually going to look like. 219 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 11: Well, it's going to be a series of radars, small 220 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 11: radars that don't take a lot of power that you 221 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 11: can flood the area, and they don't have a on 222 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 11: the other energy forms that are operating in the area, 223 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 11: much less electromagnetic spectrum that other platforms and organizations use. 224 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 11: So this is a challenge and you've got to make 225 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 11: it omni President. You can't anticipate a drone coming from 226 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 11: one direction, that's coming from everywhere, So putting radars and 227 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 11: detections in place, it's going to be a real challenge. 228 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 9: Yeah for them. 229 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 11: So my prayers are with them, but it's a tough problem. 230 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 9: Well, thank you, Admira. We'll have to have you back 231 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 9: on again soon. Thank you so much, sir, Thank you. 232 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 9: Thanks well. Coming up is DEI dine while at the 233 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 9: University of Michigan, cracks are beginning to form. We will 234 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 9: be right back after the short break. 235 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 12: Welcome back to special report. 236 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 7: Are we beginning to see the tide shift on diversity, 237 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 7: equity and inclusion otherwise known as DEI. Well, we are 238 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 7: seeing some cracks in the DEI wall, if you will, 239 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 7: case in point at the University in Michigan, which had 240 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 7: been a bastion of leftism. 241 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right, Bo, And much to the surprise of many, 242 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 10: the University of Michigan has now banned diversity statements, a 243 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 10: major weapon in promoting ideological conformity. Matt briden Berg has 244 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 10: been at the forefront of this battle, and he's the 245 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 10: director of education policy at the Goldwater Institute. He joins us, now, 246 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 10: welcome to the show. 247 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 13: Matt, Thanks for having me on. 248 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 7: Hey, Matt, So, with Michigan being so woke in DEI 249 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 7: friendly and spending a quarter of a billion dollars in 250 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 7: DEI initiatives, they had these diversity statements which essentially told 251 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 7: faculty embrace DEI or else. 252 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 12: Is that accurate? 253 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's amazing. 254 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 4: This is something we've seen in colleges and universities across 255 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: the country. If you want to get a job, you 256 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 4: want to be a professor, a faculty member. They're told, great, 257 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 4: we want to know what your research is, but more importantly, 258 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 4: we want to know what you think about diversity, equity 259 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 4: and inclusion. And we've seen a faculty say, hey, I 260 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 4: believe in these things. I believe in treating everybody the 261 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 4: same regardless of the color of their skin. 262 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 13: That's literally the wrong answer. 263 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 4: And you see faculty basically being screened out if they 264 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 4: don't say, no, I support your vision of diversity, equity 265 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: and inclusion, meaning get rid of color blindness and treating 266 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 4: everyone the same and put your thumb on the scale 267 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 4: for a student or for a faculty member who's the 268 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 4: right skin color, or against somebody who's the wrong. So 269 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 4: finally we're starting to see a lot of momentum away 270 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: from this. But it's just it's a really an indictment 271 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: of higher education that this has gone on for as 272 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 4: long as it has. 273 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 10: Well, So, Matt, what exactly has happened to cause this 274 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 10: about Face and their DEI strategy? I mean, what do 275 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 10: you attribute to, Like you said, the momentum away from 276 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 10: these policies. 277 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 4: What we saw for years certainly in the wake of 278 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: the BLM movement and in around twenty twenty, just the 279 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 4: storm that this caused across the country, and this ideology 280 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 4: I think has finally started to run its sports, where 281 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 4: people have realized they can stand up and maybe they're 282 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 4: going to be branded as a racist, but when you're saying, hey, 283 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 4: I believe in treating everybody the same, that's the principles 284 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 4: of Martin Luther King Junior. It's the principles of this country. 285 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 4: And so we've started to see this and these institutions again, 286 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 4: higher education really being the epicenter of a lot of this, 287 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 4: I think has finally run its course where we're starting 288 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 4: to see pushback. Now, it's not to say that it's 289 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 4: going to disappear on its own. We've partnered with groups 290 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 4: like the Manhattan Institute and we released model policy that 291 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 4: help pass legislation in places like Texas to eliminate these diversity, 292 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 4: equity and inclusion offices and places around the country. But 293 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 4: still in all these universities, we tend to see things 294 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 4: like course mandates. They're still requiring kids to take DEI 295 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 4: courses literally just to graduate. 296 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 13: So if you're an accounting major of biology major. 297 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 4: One of our partner organizations, Speech First, put out a 298 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 4: report found two thirds of colleges and universities require students 299 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 4: to take a DEI course, even if they're trying to 300 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: major in something totally unrelated to this. 301 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 12: It's unbelievable. 302 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 7: Well, you know, Matt, the E and DEI stands for equity, 303 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 7: and that's far from equitable. 304 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 12: In fact, it treats people quite unequally. 305 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 7: Explain that to our audience, the difference between equity and 306 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 7: equality and when it when it comes to DEI. 307 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, equality, of course, you know, is the basic principle 308 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 4: of saying we in America believe in equality of opportunity. Right, 309 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor, you're going 310 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 4: to have equality before the law. The rules apply to 311 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 4: you just like they apply to anybody else under the 312 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 4: DEI regime. Equity is about saying we want everybody essentially 313 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: to end up at the same place. We've had folks 314 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 4: like Kamala Harris even come out and say that to 315 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 4: say that by equity, it's not about giving everybody the 316 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 4: same starting point or the same opportunities to thrive and 317 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 4: excel regardless of your background. It's saying this student might 318 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 4: have outperformed that student, or this candidate might have outperformed. 319 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 4: That must be the result of some sort of structural inequity, 320 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: some sort of violation. Somebody systemically is oppressing somebody and 321 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 4: we need to go in there and rebalance the scale. 322 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 4: So equity is a rejection of this principle of equality 323 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 4: before the law, and again it's something that's deeply antithetical 324 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 4: to the principles of the country. 325 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's really well said there, Matt. I want to 326 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 10: get your take on this. There was a study from 327 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 10: Rutgers that shows that exposure to DEI predisposed of students 328 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 10: to believing that there is bigotry and the absence of 329 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 10: it a sort of a confirmation bias. So shouldn't this 330 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 10: end DEI does in. 331 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 13: Its tracks, you would think. 332 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: So. 333 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 4: We've actually seen for years evidence that's come out to 334 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 4: show that these universities, even as they've invested in these 335 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 4: DEI programs, you actually tend to see over time worsening 336 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: race relations, students saying I feel less welcome on campus 337 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 4: if they're minorities than they did before all this stuff started. 338 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 13: So we've seen this for years. 339 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: But the same organizations, the same institutions who have been 340 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 4: supporting us have really just doubled down. I think now 341 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 4: taxpayers are standing up, lawmakers are standing up, and we're starting. 342 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 13: To see this pushback. 343 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: Now I mentioned the work that we're doing, and now 344 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 4: to take this to the next stage of the fight 345 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 4: and say, now it's time to get rid of this 346 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 4: last piece, these course mandates that force students in there. 347 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 4: So we've proposed to we call it the Freedom from 348 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 4: a Doctrination Act, to say, no more, should students going 349 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 4: especially to public universities, be required to take a DEI 350 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 4: class just to graduate under no circumstance. Should you have 351 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 4: to spend time, intuition dollars just to go through and 352 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 4: get this credentialing in a course about how you're an oppressor, 353 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 4: a colonizer, and all these instances of just DEI rather 354 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 4: than hey, what can we actually do to improve your 355 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 4: academics as a college student. 356 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 7: So tell us Matten more about this Freedom of Indoctrination 357 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 7: Act with the status of it is, what's in it 358 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 7: that you think will be You've mentioned a couple of 359 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 7: things that will be helpful about it, but can college 360 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 7: students actually reach out to you or the Goldwater Institute 361 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 7: for instance, and say, hey, we're seeing some of these 362 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 7: mandates for our coursework. 363 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 12: Can you help us with this? 364 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 7: How do you actually get the needle to move in 365 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 7: this case with that act? 366 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's great. 367 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 4: So we released it with our partner organizations speech first, 368 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 4: and it's now model policy. It's been adopted as model 369 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 4: policy by the organizations. And just like we saw the 370 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 4: state of Texas take our model policy that we worked 371 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 4: with the Manhattan Institute and they literally turn that into 372 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 4: legislation that's now the law of the land in Texas. 373 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 4: We've now seen interest and so states can take this 374 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 4: legislation and they can pass it and literally protect their 375 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 4: students from saying no longer as a condition of graduation, 376 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 4: no longer in order to get a journalism We've got 377 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 4: a major public university that every single journalism student has 378 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 4: to go take a d course just to graduate, and 379 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 4: say no more of that. 380 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 13: You're no longer going to require this. 381 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 4: So these students who can look that up, the Freedom 382 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 4: from a Doctrination Act reaching out as these bills start 383 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 4: to take shape and make sure that their voices are heard. 384 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 4: Because we see the universities and these organizations stand up 385 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 4: and say you're going to be oppressing us and taking 386 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 4: awere academic freedom if you don't let us force kids 387 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 4: to take these classes, which is really kind of ironic 388 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 4: when you think about it.

How do you think that 496 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 9: is going to be addressed with the Trump administration? 497 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 5: So DEI and d I e uh, Pete is going 498 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 5: to bring back the meritocracy to our military, to our agencies, 499 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 5: and it's going to it's gonna be about the best. 500 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 5: It's not going to be about who we can put 501 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 5: in there and check a box the way this last 502 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 5: administration did. 503 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: You know. 504 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 5: I love having women in the military, and they do 505 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 5: a good job, but we don't need women on the 506 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 5: front lines fighting and dying next to men. We don't 507 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 5: need women going to seal training, going to special operations 508 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 5: and infantry. They do an amazing job, and you can 509 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 5: see how putting the wrong people in just because of 510 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 5: the color of their skin, or making a four star 511 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 5: admiral who was a transgender that had never even been 512 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 5: into military before, just doesn't belong. And that's what led 513 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 5: to the devastating Afghanistan withdrawal, led to many people being 514 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 5: killed over there, and it's just not the right thing. 515 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 5: Pete has actual real combat experience, being an infantry platoon 516 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 5: leader in Iraq, being a leader in Afghanistan. Many of 517 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 5: these admirals and generals, they were fours at nine to eleven. 518 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 5: They actually never fought in war. They oversaw a lot, 519 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 5: and I have a lot of respect for them. But 520 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 5: having someone that has fought and bled and had people 521 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 5: and had his friends and brothers die in combat and 522 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 5: seeing the real cost of war, and that's why he 523 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 5: went on to lead all these VA organizations and support 524 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: support veterans, and that's why he's been a brother to 525 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 5: us in a seal teams. With one day, with one 526 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 5: day notice, he decided to jump in and do the 527 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 5: Hudson Swim. He had never swim with fits before and 528 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 5: he jumped in and was my swim buddy and Kysh 529 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 5: Larsen's swim buddy. And he was having a tough time, 530 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 5: but he never gave up. He kept fighting, and the 531 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 5: same way he's been fighting for this nomination, not giving up. 532 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 5: That's what we need at the top of our DoD 533 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 5: as the Secretary Defense. 534 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 13: For everyone. 535 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 9: I want to get I want to play this clip 536 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 9: from President Trump earlier today talking about the nominations, and 537 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 9: then Jason, I want to go to you and get 538 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 9: your reaction to it. If we can just play that sod. 539 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 8: I think Pete Heggscheth is making tremendous strides over the 540 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 8: last week. 541 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 2: He's going to be great. 542 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 8: Look, he went to Princeton, he went to Harvard. He 543 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 8: was a great student there, but he really was. From 544 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 8: the first day I met him, all he wanted to 545 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 8: talk about was military. It's just a military guy. I 546 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 8: think it's a natural. This was my idea. And you know, 547 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 8: Pete Heggscheth gave up a lot because he was going 548 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 8: big places in Fox, big big places, a lot of money. 549 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 8: And he didn't even hesitate When I said, do you 550 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 8: want to do this? He said absolutely. I said, you know, 551 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 8: if it doesn't work out, you'll never have the opportunity 552 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 8: that you have right now in terms of the world 553 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 8: of entertainment or business, whatever you want to call it. 554 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 8: You'll never have that opportunity again. In fact, it could 555 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 8: be just the opposite because it's nasty out there. He said, 556 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 8: I don't care. I have to do it for my country. 557 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 8: He gave up a tremendous amount of If this didn't work, 558 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 8: it would be it would be a tragedy because but 559 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 8: that's what he looks. 560 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 9: Jason. I want to go to you and get your reaction. 561 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 9: He specifically talked about how Pete would ask Trum to 562 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 9: help with a soldier that was unfairly treated. Can you 563 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 9: talk about that. 564 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 2: Well? 565 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 15: I mean, I think that what my colleagues have expressed 566 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 15: here today really encompasses who Pete is and that experience, 567 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 15: and that this guy is a warfighter that's going to 568 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 15: put his brothers and sisters ahead of any decision of 569 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 15: putting American children in harm's way. This is the type 570 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 15: of guy who spent his good proportion of his career 571 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 15: understanding the problems that warfighters face after their service. I mean, 572 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 15: if there's not a better choice out there for an 573 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 15: individual to have both the dual combination of abilities to 574 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 15: not only lead from the front, keep America's interests at 575 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 15: heart and work with our allies to protect our nation, 576 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 15: but also way the consequences of the decisions that we 577 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 15: make as a nation when we decide to send a 578 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 15: young male or female into war. And I think that 579 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 15: that's what Pete and President Trump is really saying here 580 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 15: is that this is a guy that's dynamic in his 581 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 15: thought process in thinking about how we're going to approach 582 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 15: the issues that our country's facing, the decisions related to 583 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 15: going to war and what we've seen for many years, 584 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 15: many generations now as the military industrial common place, deciding 585 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 15: on what we should do without that concern or the 586 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 15: thought process of how does the decision impact the young, 587 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 15: the youth of our nation. How are they going to 588 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 15: come back from this experience and become thriving members in 589 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 15: their economies at a local level into this country what 590 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 15: we're doing here today. And I think that that is 591 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 15: the difference maker between Pete being the Secretary of Defense 592 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 15: and anyone else. This guy's going to put the interest 593 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 15: in public safety first, but also the journey of the 594 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 15: de member. 595 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 9: Afterwards, Well, thank you guys, thank you all for your service. 596 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 9: I wish you all a merry Christmas and happy New Year. 597 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 9: And again God bless you and thank you for your service. 598 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 10: Let's go Pete, Let's go go Pee. 599 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 9: Well coming out, more than five hundred thousand migrant children 600 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 9: have disappeared from the border. Later in the show, we 601 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 9: will discuss what can be done about this. We will 602 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 9: be back in just a moment. 603 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 12: Welcome back to Special Report. 604 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,479 Speaker 7: You know, our national debt continues to increase along with 605 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 7: interest payments on the national debt. 606 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 12: How can you protect your money? 607 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 7: Well, our next guest says to convert your existing IRA 608 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 7: or four one k into a tax sheltered IRA in gold. 609 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 7: Joining us to discuss is precious metal specialist for the 610 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 7: Birch Gold Group, Philip Patrick. 611 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 12: Welcome to the show, Philip. 612 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 6: Thank you for having me guys. 613 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 10: So Philip to start out here, The Trump tax cuts 614 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 10: are scheduled to expire in twenty twenty five, so do 615 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 10: you think extending them will be one of Trump's top 616 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 10: priorities come January after he's inaugurated. 617 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 3: I think it. 618 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 6: Will look We have to remember this was a big 619 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 6: victory for the Trump administration and a lot of the 620 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 6: tax cuts that he put in place is set to 621 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 6: expire in twenty twenty five. But this essentially changed how 622 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 6: every American individual and corporation what they are in taxation, 623 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 6: and I think it's a key pillar of his policy 624 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 6: to stimulate economic growth longer term, So I think it 625 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 6: will be a priority. Of course, it'll affect revenue shorter term, 626 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 6: but it's a longer term plan to boost domestic GDP 627 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 6: by putting more money in the hands of individuals and businesses, 628 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 6: which is a good plan, of course. 629 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 7: Of course, Well, Philip, what about tariffs. We've been hearing 630 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 7: a lot about them. Won't the proposed tariffs on China 631 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 7: and the rest of world make up for it? 632 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 6: Look, tariffs will generate revenue shorter term. I don't know 633 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 6: how meaningful that will be. They haven't been a meaningful 634 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 6: source of revenue for one hundred years in the United States. 635 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 6: They currently account for about two percent of total revenue. 636 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 6: So shorter term, they'll add a little bit in terms 637 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 6: of revenue. But that's not really the idea with tariffs. 638 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 6: The idea is that they will incentivize domestic manufacturing. So 639 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 6: I think we'll really start to see the benefits of 640 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 6: tariffs five to ten years down the line. They take 641 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 6: a to work through the economy, but will generate some 642 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 6: revenue shorter term, they're not going to plug that deficit 643 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 6: gap though. 644 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think handling things domestically is definitely where we 645 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 10: need to start here. In fact, the Department of Government 646 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 10: Efficiency is looking for opportunities to cut costs. Can douge 647 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 10: offset the revenue lost by lowering taxes? 648 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 6: It's a good question. Look, I'm very excited by the 649 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 6: prospect of those. We have to remember governments around the 650 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 6: world spend in a very wasteful manner, and I think 651 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 6: highlighting that on a public forum will be important so 652 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 6: people really understand. Now, is it going to offset a 653 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 6: two trillion dollar deficit? I don't think so. I mean, look, 654 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 6: they could fire every federal employee, which they're not going 655 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 6: to do. It's two and a half million people, and 656 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 6: it would be about three hundred billion dollars a year. 657 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 6: So I think there's work to be done. But I 658 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 6: don't think we're going to offset that two trillion through 659 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 6: austerity or cutbacks. It's going to have to come through 660 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 6: ekic growth. And like I say, that's a longer term plan. 661 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 7: And as you said, lowering taxes like this will lead 662 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 7: to economic growth and people with more money, of course, 663 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 7: will spend it, creating more jobs. 664 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 12: It's you know, it's a beautiful things. 665 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 7: So is it really important that these tax cuts be 666 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 7: offset by cutting costs or increasing revenue? 667 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 6: Look that the key longer term is to increase revenue, 668 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 6: but I think we need an element of both. 669 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: Shorter term. 670 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 6: Look, the US is looking increasingly like a bad predator 671 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 6: the more we run deficits the worse. We look to 672 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 6: bond investors around the world, and the hope is what 673 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 6: we need is that they don't start fleeing the US 674 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 6: dollar as we continue to run deficits. Now, it's important 675 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 6: that Trump is in unlike people like Liz trust in 676 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 6: the United Kingdom. He's trying to spark supply side growth, 677 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 6: but he's thinking about how to offset the tax cuts, 678 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 6: and that's where doge comes in. That's where tariffs come. So, 679 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 6: like I said, I'm not sure it's going to offset 680 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 6: the two trillion initially. That's going to come with growth. 681 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 6: But it is important because shorter term, we need to 682 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 6: make sure that the world has faith in the US 683 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 6: dollar and US as a nation and as a creditor. 684 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 6: And as long as that continues, Trump can grow us 685 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 6: out of it. But it's all depends. It's a gamble 686 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 6: shorter term, that's the key. 687 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely, and re establishing that trust may be difficult 688 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 10: with how terrible the last four years have been with 689 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 10: Biden's economic policies. 690 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 11: I mean, we had. 691 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 10: Soaring inflation, prices were just through the roof. It seems 692 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 10: like there's going to be a lot of economic uncertainty 693 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 10: right out of the gate with Trump taking office here, 694 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 10: So what can you tell us about investing wisely through 695 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 10: Trump's second term. 696 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 6: Look, you're correct, and you know one thing's clear. We 697 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 6: don't have Biden at the helm, which is very good 698 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 6: for the economy. We're also the messaging, right, We've been 699 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 6: told for the last four years how great the economy is, 700 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 6: and we're crazy for not seeing it. This administration at 701 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 6: least is telling us truth. They're telling us to brace 702 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 6: ourselves for hard times, and I think hard times mean volatility, 703 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 6: as you mentioned, and precious medals in climates like this 704 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 6: work very well. People have to understand what President Trump 705 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 6: is inheriting is a disaster, right, He's the only man 706 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 6: that can get us through it. But it is a gamble. 707 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 6: Central banks around the world are diversifying, they're buying gold 708 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 6: as a means to do it, and I think we 709 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 6: need to do the same. We all hope that we 710 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 6: fix the problems, but we need to have a hedge 711 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 6: in place. Precious medals are the best way to do that. 712 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 6: We're offering a guide now to all of your viewers 713 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 6: on how to invest in gold through a Trump administration, 714 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 6: and I recommend everyone reach out and just get that 715 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 6: information in preparation for a turbulent time next year. 716 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 12: Philip, how does foreign policy affect this? 717 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 7: I mean, we think about all the money that has 718 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 7: gone to Ukraine, for instance. You've got to stop the 719 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 7: bleeding at some point. We don't know how much damage. 720 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 7: Biden could say, still doing his remaining time, how difficult 721 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 7: is it going to be to fix some of that 722 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 7: mess and be able to assist our economy simply by 723 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 7: not spending all this money to foreign countries. 724 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, Listen, foreign policy plays a big part in this, 725 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 6: and President Trump's getting set up right, Biden approved the 726 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,720 Speaker 6: use of missiles on Russian territory in anticipation of Trump 727 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 6: stepping in. It almost reminds me like, well do with 728 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 6: the stories you'd hear from World War One, right when 729 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 6: the Gis would take over a trench, the Germans knew 730 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 6: they were coming and they'd lay booby traps. That's what 731 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 6: President Trump is walking into. So curbing the spending will 732 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 6: be a priority. That means not spending on foreign wars 733 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 6: and other things. Look, at the end of the day, 734 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 6: if we want to help the world, we have to 735 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 6: fix our problems domestically. Only with the healthy vibrant US economy, 736 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 6: can we really go out and start helping the rest 737 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 6: of the world. 738 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: So we need to focus at home. 739 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 6: Let's look at some economic domestic patriotism and then we 740 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 6: can build from there. 741 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 9: Yeah. 742 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 10: Absolutely, boy, I thought that was a great question. We've 743 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 10: seen escalating conflicts all throughout the world, so protecting your 744 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 10: finances and as an individual is becoming even more important. Quickly, 745 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 10: tell us where can people invest in Birch Gold Group 746 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 10: one last time? 747 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 6: Very simple.

So America to nine eight nine 752 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 6: eight nine eight. 753 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 7: It's that simple, Philip, So easy to remember nine eight 754 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 7: nine eight nine eight and the word America.

I mean, it's just 801 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 10: sickening to think about. Under the Biden administration, massive numbers 802 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 10: of unaccompanied migrant children are being released by HHS to 803 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 10: unvetted sponsors. Whistleblowers are now reporting that these kids could 804 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 10: be going to people associated with dangerous criminal organizations like 805 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 10: MS thirteen. 806 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 12: That's right. 807 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 7: And for more on this, let's welcome in America's Future 808 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 7: executive director, Mary Flynn O'Neil. 809 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 12: Mary, welcome to the show. 810 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me, and thank you 811 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 3: for you know, really focusing in on this.

Aaron Stevenson was on the end of 824 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 3: finding the actual terrorists and the sponsors coming in. 825 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 10: Uh. 826 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 3: He is a guy that worked in the DHS and 827 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 3: he found the patterns of where these kids were going. 828 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 3: He started to get alerts of and see patterns of 829 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 3: you know, cartel people that had been on a list 830 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 3: of of you know, nefarious criminal terrorist UH lists through 831 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 3: our government, and he started seeing a pattern basically simply 832 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 3: put and then put two and two together, and started 833 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 3: seeing that these guys were being given children, they were 834 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 3: being allowed to be sponsors of this HHS program, which 835 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 3: is what terror Lee Rhodis was seeing, uh in the 836 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 3: California Pomoma area where she was basically trying to you know, 837 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 3: take care of children, and then she started seeing you know, 838 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 3: contractors moving children around. You know, children don't know where 839 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 3: they were going, they didn't know who they were going to, 840 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 3: all these sorts of things. And then these two people, 841 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 3: not knowing each other, are now you know, putting the 842 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 3: pieces together, and it's it's very it's it's it's public record, 843 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 3: it's been testimony, and it's it's it's very real. 844 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: Uh. 845 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 3: These guys on the sponsorship side, AJHS was allowing these 846 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 3: guys to UH who have criminal backgrounds, some terrorists and 847 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 3: cartel to actually become listen, sponsors of these unaccompanied children. Okay, 848 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 3: that's very serious. Listen to that they became sponsors. 849 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 10: It's so so sick, Mary, and thank you so much 850 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 10: for talking about this on our program. We cannot let 851 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 10: these children be forgotten. I know, we were talking about 852 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 10: James o'keef's recent documentary Line in the Sand during our 853 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 10: commercial break. There was one child that he highlighted that 854 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 10: was bounced around from the sponsors of known sexual abusers, 855 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 10: like three different homes of known sexual abusers. I mean, 856 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 10: my heart breaks for this child. Can't even imagine what 857 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 10: they went through. How likely is it that some of 858 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 10: these missing kids are ever found? 859 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 3: Oh well, so here's the deal. This plan, There is 860 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 3: a plan. We know where these children are. We did 861 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 3: a press conference on this up in DC with uh. 862 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 3: You know, Grassley has been really good. Senator Grassley has 863 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 3: been incredible working with Tara and a bunch of people 864 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 3: that we've been trying to get this word out and 865 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 3: get people testifying. So so Aaron Stevenson, we have the data, 866 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 3: but HHS wouldn't release it to like, for example, the 867 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 3: governors in the States. He wouldn't he AHHS has the data. 868 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 3: We know where these children are. What we need to 869 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 3: do is get release the data into the governors, into 870 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 3: the law enforce so we can go they can go 871 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 3: into their states and find these children. We know where 872 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 3: these are We know that this, we know how long 873 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 3: this will take. We know the whole plan. It's all 874 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 3: in you know, it's all set in a plan right now. 875 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 3: We know how to do this. We've been working on 876 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 3: this for quite some time. You know, we're starting to 877 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 3: get you know, Tom Homan, a couple of people that 878 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 3: are going in, you know, to talk to us and 879 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 3: see if we can help, you know, get some get 880 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 3: some traction on this. But this is a very serious 881 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 3: and it is it is something that we could accomplish 882 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 3: in ten weeks. So we already know this plan and 883 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 3: we could help them. And and Bobby Kennedy needs to 884 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 3: listen to this. When he goes into AHHS, he's not 885 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 3: going to believe what he's going to see. You know. 886 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 3: The hhs IS budget, I believe, is like the third 887 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 3: highest budget. The money that's been given to these NGOs 888 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 3: to traffic these children. That's another whole piece of this thing, 889 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 3: like Catholic charities, the Lutheran Social Services, and the Jewish Foundation. 890 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,839 Speaker 3: And I can say that because I testified here in 891 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 3: Florida in the grand jury that named those that you know, 892 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 3: investigated what was actually going on with these NGOs and 893 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 3: the government there's a lot of there's a lot of 894 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 3: facts on this. This is not something that we're just 895 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 3: you know, we're just making up. 896 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 7: Okay, So Mary, it gave us a lot of information there, 897 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 7: so HHS knows it. So the first part of my 898 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 7: question is why are they not doing anything? Why are 899 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 7: they not releasing these lists of the governors as you said? 900 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 7: And does that also mean that for the next thirty 901 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 7: four some odd days, these kids are still in limbo 902 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 7: because you can't really do anything until Trump takes office. 903 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 12: Is that accurate? 904 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 3: Oh, they've been in limbo. They've been in limbo. We started, 905 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 3: as cra we started this, you know, push to get 906 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 3: this I mean, Grassley's office has been trying to get 907 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 3: I mean, people signed called, we had people call in, 908 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 3: We had American people, you know, call in to their 909 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 3: senators to get this this data released. We've been trying 910 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 3: to do this for about four five months, maybe a 911 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 3: little longer now have to look at my data. But 912 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 3: we've been trying to get these people to aj Justice 913 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 3: to release this data for quite some time now. I mean, 914 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 3: this is something that's been going on and it's been 915 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 3: a struggle for us with this Biden administration. They have 916 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 3: not pushed. Majorca has his hands all over this. He 917 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 3: knows this. They won't release the data, and the data 918 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 3: is there, we can find the children. We know where 919 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 3: these children are. It's very simple. It's been going on forever. 920 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,919 Speaker 3: I can go on and on about this, but we've 921 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 3: been trying to get them to release this data for 922 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 3: quite some time. The governors need the data. Okay, if 923 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 3: they get the data, the data can be given to 924 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,959 Speaker 3: the proper channels and then down to the authorities into 925 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 3: the community so we can find these children. We already 926 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 3: located several children. Mutt Record did a story. We located 927 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 3: a couple that was getting children from the border as sponsors, 928 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,840 Speaker 3: and we found the kids in Benita Springs. And the 929 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 3: other thing you got to understand is these people do this, 930 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 3: they're sponsors. They do this regularly. This is what these 931 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 3: people do. They traffic children. They had three different houses, 932 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 3: you guys, three different houses, so they would move children 933 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 3: from one house to the next house, to the next house. 934 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 3: It was it's it's a network. It's a very organized, 935 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 3: you know entity, these people trafficking children.

This is just globalist is what's funding them. 941 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 10: It's absolutely disgusting to hear how you're describing all of this. 942 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 10: I can't imagine a child going through this. Who is 943 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 10: funding the child sex trafficking industry in the United States? 944 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 10: I mean, who is paying to be a customer of this? 945 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 3: Okay, the average is thirty, between thirty and forty years old, 946 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 3: married with two children. 947 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 13: How about that. 948 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 12: That's that's revolting. 949 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 3: I mean the statistics. We have tons of statistics. This 950 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 3: is what we do.

You guys, I mean, this is just not medical. 955 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 3: This is a very very evil kind of thing that 956 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,399 Speaker 3: these people have been doing to children. And not only 957 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 3: are they sexually abusing them, but they're physically abusing them. 958 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 3: They're putting them into labor. I mean, can you imagine 959 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 3: kids down in Benita Springs for example. Uh, they we 960 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 3: some of the kids that we found are just little 961 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:47,280 Speaker 3: kids and they're being put into like landscaping companies, painting companies, 962 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 3: roofing companies, and they're being trafficked through these through these 963 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 3: businesses that these this couple for example, would use and 964 00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 3: put them into these you know, they have their connections, 965 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 3: they all have their networks.

It's extremely important for people to 969 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 3: get educated. You know, criminals are about six years behind 970 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,720 Speaker 3: law enforcement.
