1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: To America's Voice Live.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: Our Real America's Voice team is going places, others woes.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 3: We need to take over that was in coming into

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 3: Israeli territory to.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Show you what they don't want you to see.

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: It's still a disaster. What's the latest.

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 4: They call these street releases.

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 5: You've got hundreds of people being dropped off.

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 4: It's getting worse.

10
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: And we're the nation's fastest growing news program for a reason.

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 6: Real Journalize, God, we're all marching down to the White House.

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 7: Sounds to me bad, like they won't be happy until

13
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 7: Israel doesn't exist.

14
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: Real American News America is under chemical warfare attack at

15
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: noyl is the weapon.

16
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 8: Thank you for everything you're doing.

17
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys very very much.

18
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: This is America's Voice Live with Steve Grouper.

19
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 7: Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Greer. Today is Monday,

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 7: December the sixteenth. Let's get into the today's top stories. Now,

21
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 7: over the last four years, thanks to the Biden administration,

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 7: we've seen our once proud military turn to dei and

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 7: well cutie jeez. Thankfully, the incoming Trump administration plans to

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 7: correct this mistake by the current administration.

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: More details on that coming up.

26
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 7: Also, inflation continues to remain a stubborn problem for the

27
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 7: average American with thirty five days that's until Trump takes off.

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 7: As many Americans are optimistic about the future, but we

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 7: still have to get all the way to January twentieth,

30
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 7: and remember it took Ronald Reagan a couple of years

31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 7: to turn the economy around. More details on that coming

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 7: up as well, and then later, but a little over

33
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 7: a month ago of the fading Biden administration, the border

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 7: continues to remain wide open. I'll be checking with Real

35
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 7: America's voice or correspondence on that.

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Ben an Oscar will be with me all the details.

37
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 1: But first we start here.

38
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 7: A tragic day as tragedy struck in Madison, Wisconsin. A

39
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 7: shooting at a Christian school of private schools left at

40
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 7: least four people dead and an alleged juvenile shooter dead

41
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 7: as well several more at the hospital. Authorities responding quickly

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 7: to the incident at the school where the gunman opened fire.

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: While details remain scarce.

44
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 7: The devastating event has rocked to de raising questions about

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 7: school safety and of course, the alarming rise and violence

46
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 7: targeting educational institutions. The school released a statement on Facebook saying, quote,

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 7: prayers are questioned. Today, we had an active shooter incident

48
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 7: at ACLS. We are in the midst of following up.

49
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 7: We'll share information as we're able. Please pray for our

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 7: challenger family. Joining me now FBI whistleblower and the host

51
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 7: of the American Radicals podcast on Rumble Steve Friend, Steve,

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 7: thank you for being here.

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Treving. Now what strikes me here? Steve?

54
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 7: And you tell me with your background it's not a

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 7: public school. It's a private Christian school. Again, reminds me

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 7: of what we saw in Nashville not that long ago,

57
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 7: and in other schools of faith. These incidents are happening

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 7: more and more of for the schools of Faith. I

59
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 7: don't know who the shooter is. I don't know what

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 7: the exact details are. We're going to wait for the

61
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 7: investigation to play out. But it does alarm me that

62
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 7: it's at a Christian school. One more time. What are

63
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 7: your initial takeaways?

64
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 9: Well, my thoughts the exact same place as yours, But

65
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 9: I think we have to be disciplined in that response.

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 9: I mean, this is going to be a unique incident.

67
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 9: It's going to have its own fact pattern, and the

68
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 9: investigation as it goes into it hopefully will be a

69
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 9: lot more transparent than what transpired in Nashville. I mean,

70
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 9: they held that manifesto back for over a year. But

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 9: what we do know in the limited information that came

72
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 9: out is this seems to be someone who was an

73
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 9: actual student at the time, whereas in Nashville it was

74
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 9: a former student who was an adult.

75
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting you mentioned.

76
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 7: That manifesto from Nashville still being held back in large part. Yeah,

77
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 7: we've gotten the manifesto from the shooter in New York

78
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 7: City within a couple of days now. It was only

79
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 7: three pages.

80
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: But why is that?

81
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 7: Why do we get information with held? Is there something

82
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 7: we can't know from time to time? I mean, we

83
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 7: want information, You're right, Steve, we have to be disciplined

84
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 7: about the investigation. We know people have been killed and

85
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 7: families have been well changed forever today. But aren't we

86
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 7: entitled to know the motivation for these shooters so that

87
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 7: we can try to stop them in the future.

88
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 9: You're certainly entitled to know that, particularly when the shooter

89
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 9: is no longer alive. I mean, Audrey Hale was dead

90
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 9: in Nashville and the shooter seems to be the same.

91
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 9: So if there's any sort of manifesto that's of public interest,

92
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 9: whereas the shooting in New York, you could have a

93
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 9: conflict going on where you're tainting the jury pool. There

94
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 9: is an actual due process issued away and consider here.

95
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 9: But when the shooter has no expectation of privacy i e.

96
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 9: They're no longer breathing, the public interest should outweigh any

97
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 9: sort of political interest that comes from the DOJ or

98
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 9: even local law enforcement at that point.

99
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 6: Yeah.

100
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 7: Now I heard a police officer around the scene. There

101
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 7: might have been the gentleman giving the press conference here

102
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 7: just a short while ago in Madison, Wisconsin, at this shooting,

103
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 7: he was asked if there were metal detectors and so forth. No,

104
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 7: there weren't metal detectors. We don't need metal detectors at schools.

105
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 7: We shouldn't have them. I completely disagree. I think we

106
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 7: should have special resource officers at every school in America,

107
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 7: public and private. I believe that we have to protect

108
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 7: the students first and foremost if that means metal detectors.

109
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: And plus you know this, we have AI advancements.

110
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 7: Now that can identify weapons on individuals without being invasive.

111
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 7: The AI technology can identify when things are out of

112
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 7: order and out of place, and we can stop some

113
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 7: of these intrusions of weapons into our schools.

114
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Can't we? We can do better, can't we? We have

115
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: to do better.

116
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 9: I mean, hardening these installations is everybody's important, as hardening

117
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 9: Fort Knox or a bank. The problem that we're getting

118
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 9: is the political pushback. They're saying that they don't want

119
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 9: to have the schools look like prisons. I'm sorry, I

120
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 9: want my children to be saved. We have to be

121
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 9: unique and nimble and are thinking and how we're going

122
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 9: to bring that about, whether or not it's authorizing teachers

123
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 9: to carry firearms or having armed security there. I think

124
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 9: that that should all be on the table here, and

125
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 9: you're right about the technology being another aspect to it.

126
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 9: My concern also is the fact that they're co mingling

127
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 9: the idea that we're going to have social emotional learning

128
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 9: with firearms, and now in effect, you're deputizing the school

129
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 9: systems to identify kids as being they're not authorized to

130
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 9: be anywhere near firearms, and that's going to weaken the infrastructure,

131
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 9: and then they're actually going to go after families for

132
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 9: their Second Amendment right. So it looks like we're at

133
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 9: a crossroads here where one side wants to actually protect

134
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 9: the kids and the other one wants to disarm the

135
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 9: American population and use the deaths of innocent children to

136
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 9: do it.

137
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 7: Well, I'd be remiss if I didn't point something out

138
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 7: that has been glaringly obvious to me for a number

139
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 7: of years now, Steve, and I'll give you the last

140
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 7: word on this. The places you don't have school shootings

141
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 7: are places like Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington.

142
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: DC, New York City. You know why.

143
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 7: They have police officers on campus, they have metal detectors

144
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 7: on campus.

145
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: They don't have mass shootings in Detroit.

146
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 7: Or New York or in any other major city in

147
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 7: America because those schools are kept safe by police officers

148
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 7: and metal detectors and they do what it takes to

149
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 7: keep those kids safe.

150
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word on that. Agree.

151
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 9: You also don't have a lot of mass shootings going

152
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 9: out of gun rangers or gun shows where people are

153
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 9: armed to the teeth to protect themselves exercise a Second

154
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 9: Amendment right. It's common sense if we're going to have

155
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 9: the reference to being common sense. Then we need to

156
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 9: realize that just passing legislation, the bad guys don't obey

157
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 9: it to begin with. So let's prioritize what we really

158
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 9: want to have, and that's safe kids in schools.

159
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Steve, really appreciate.

160
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: You being here.

161
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 7: Thank you for being here on a day that is difficult,

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 7: like they always are, sir.

163
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: Thank you.

164
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 7: Shifting gears now and joining me is the executive director

165
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 7: of Faster Colorado. That's an organization that trains armed school staff,

166
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 7: just like we were talking about with Steve.

167
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: Friend, Laura Carno is here.

168
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: Laura.

169
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Nice to have you, Hi.

170
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 10: Thanks so much for having me.

171
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. You know, there's another fact I'd like to

172
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: bring to light.

173
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 7: In schools across this country where faculty and staff were

174
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 7: allowed to carry concealed.

175
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: Not only has there never been a mass.

176
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 7: Public school shooting, there's also never been a shooting of

177
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 7: any sort. When teachers and administrators and staff at schools

178
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 7: can carry concealed we don't have school shootings in America.

179
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 7: That's an absolute empirical fact.

180
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Why is that so hard to figure out?

181
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: Right?

182
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 6: It's not hard for you and I to figure out, obviously,

183
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 6: but It's interesting because so many people are okay with

184
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 6: a bank having armed protection, or the airport or even

185
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 6: airplanes with air marshals or Congress, but we want a

186
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 6: cultural presumption that schools also fall into that category. And

187
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 6: you're exactly right. The Crime Prevention Resource Center has done

188
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 6: that research. There have been zero shootings of any sort

189
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 6: during school hours at schools with armed staff. And that's

190
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 6: because the bad guys know that there's a really good

191
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 6: chance that they could get stopped before they start their crime,

192
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 6: and they don't want that. They want to rack up

193
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 6: these body counts. And so we look at that and

194
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 6: we say, this is a great model for everyone. And

195
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 6: that's why I'm here in Colorado. We've been doing this

196
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 6: training in a very organized fashion directed at schools for

197
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 6: We just finished our eighth year and we're in about

198
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 6: fifty school districts in Colorado. It's it's happening all over

199
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 6: the country as well, but this is exactly what should

200
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 6: be happening. And these folks who are armed on campus,

201
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 6: they're a little bit different than school resource officers in

202
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 6: that they conceal carry, so where the killer, the perspective

203
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 6: killer might know where that school resource officer is they

204
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 6: don't know who on campus might be armed. And that's

205
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 6: a good thing.

206
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I want to point out that well

207
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 7: trained people that have those children's best interests in mind

208
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 7: are the best people. I want those in my kids' school.

209
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 7: I want them well trained and ready, you know. And

210
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 7: here's the thing with concealed carry people they're going to

211
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 7: volunteer for it. Don't force people that don't want to

212
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 7: do that to carry a gun. Let's not do that, okay,

213
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 7: but let's give people the opportunity to ca if they

214
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 7: want to.

215
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: Carry, right, right.

216
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 6: And that's a very good point because the first thing

217
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 6: that detractors to this policy, we'll say, is that you

218
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 6: can't force a teacher to be armed. And I want

219
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 6: to be very clear, nobody has ever suggested that in

220
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 6: the history of these programs nationwide. But the people who

221
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 6: do volunteer, and these are purely volunteer programs, plus they

222
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 6: go through rigorous vetting processes in their school district. These

223
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 6: are the people who already typically carry outside of school.

224
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 6: They typically have much more firearms experience and can still

225
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 6: carry experience than the average even the average contill carrier.

226
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 6: They're simply disarmed when they go to work, and arguably

227
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 6: you could say they are more vulnerable. They're absent being

228
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 6: able to be one of the armed security folks. Again,

229
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 6: very well trained. But what we do know about these

230
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 6: people in all of these unarmed schools is the school

231
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 6: staff continues to run toward the sound of gunfire, using

232
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 6: their bodies to shield children. They have the mindset they

233
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 6: want to protect the kids that they're entrusted with, but

234
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 6: absent a firearm, they only have their body to stop

235
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 6: the killing or try to stop the killing.

236
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 10: But that's why this policy.

237
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 6: And these protocols are really expanding throughout the country. There's

238
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 6: nothing different about the geography of that school than the

239
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 6: geography of the bank, or for goodness sake, there are

240
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 6: armed guards and department stores. Aren't our children much valuable

241
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 6: to us then department store merchandise.

242
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's armed guards at the mall, at the jewelry store,

243
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 7: at the airport. Just like you said, there's armed guards

244
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 7: all over the place. I don't think it's a big deal.

245
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 7: And the fact of the matter is special resource officers,

246
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 7: staff and faculty caring conceal them.

247
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: You don't tell them who.

248
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 7: The Crime Provincial Research Center, as you pointed, out has

249
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 7: done a lot of reasons.

250
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: Search on this topic.

251
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 7: There haven't been mass shootings or any shooting at all

252
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 7: for that matter, Laura, we need to be proactive. We

253
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 7: need to stop taking the word of the fringe and

254
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 7: started saying we need to protect the kids. As we

255
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 7: talked about with Steve Frand a moment ago. We have

256
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 7: to do better, and we can do better. There's never

257
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 7: been a mass shooting at a Detroit public school or

258
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 7: Chicago or Los Angeles or New York.

259
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: Why because they have armed guards and metal detectors. They

260
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: have real security.

261
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 7: And we need to do that for every kid in

262
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 7: all eighty thousand schools in America. And we need to

263
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 7: do that today. There are people we can go with.

264
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 7: We have a trillion dollars and unspent COVID money. I

265
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 7: have an idea where we can spend it protecting our children.

266
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 7: How about that for an idea, I'll give you the

267
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 7: last word.

268
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, And there's nothing more valuable than our children. When

269
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 6: it stops becoming the norm that we turn on the

270
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 6: news and there's yet another school shooting, When it becomes

271
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 6: the norm that they're not happening because it is presumed

272
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 6: that there are armed guards and can steal carried, can

273
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 6: sell carriers, protecting our children. That is going to be

274
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 6: a dynamic change in our lives. Children should not have

275
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 6: to go through this.

276
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 7: Ever ever. Laura, thank you for all you're doing. Keep

277
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 7: fighting the good fight. Thank you so much for being here.

278
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Thanks to you all right up after the break.

279
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 7: Thanks to the Biden administration, we've seen our once proud

280
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 7: military turn to DEI and woke ideologies. Now, thankfully, Donald

281
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 7: Trump's incoming administration plans to correct this huge and ongoing mistake.

282
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: Details next.

283
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 7: The late Rush Limbaugh once to find the purpose of

284
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 7: a military and a signature bold style, saying it's not

285
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 7: about advancing social agenda, but rather about killing people and

286
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 7: breaking things.

287
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

288
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 7: With the world growing more unpredictable and dangerous, Limbaugh's words

289
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 7: resonate more than ever. But in in the past few years,

290
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 7: America's military has been caught in the crossair political agendas,

291
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 7: from Biden's Pentagon to woke policies infiltrating military leadership, The

292
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 7: question arises, can the US military remain the most effective

293
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 7: fighting force in the world while also serving as a

294
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 7: platform for social experimentation. Pete Haigsath recently had to say

295
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 7: this about the correct US military and how it should be. Listen, well,

296
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 7: first of all, you gotta fire, you know, you got

297
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 7: to fire the Chairman of Joint Chiefs, and you gotta

298
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 7: fire this.

299
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously gonna bring in a new Secretary Defense.

300
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 6: But any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that

301
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 6: was involved in any of the DEI woke it's gotta go.

302
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: Agreed. Agreed. Look, let me tell you something else about

303
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: Pete haig Sath.

304
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 7: His stock is rising, you know, once dismissed as dead

305
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 7: on arrival, it's not his His nomination.

306
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: Is doing quite well.

307
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 7: Joining me now to discuss this former congressman returned Army

308
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 7: Lieutenant Colonel Allen West.

309
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: Colonel, nice to have you here.

310
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 7: With the support of the people, which is what Donald

311
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 7: Trump has, he can do anything. He's going to get

312
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 7: these people confirmed. He's going to get hag Seth confirmed,

313
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 7: and a whole bunch of others.

314
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: But let's stay with the military. What do you think

315
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: about Pete haig Seth.

316
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 7: What do you think about, you know, dumping DEI and

317
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 7: WOKE policies and getting back to well, frankly, killing people

318
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 7: and breaking.

319
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 11: Things well, that's the purpose of the United States Military.

320
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,119
Speaker 11: It's good to be with you, Steve, and Merry Christmas.

321
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 11: You know, I was a combat arms officer. I was

322
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 11: an artillery officer. This was not about me going in

323
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 11: and being part of some social engineering dee I CRT.

324
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 11: I remember doing the Clinton administration. They tried to get

325
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 11: rid of this whole thing about you know, toxic warriors

326
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 11: and things of this nature. And we had this new

327
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 11: training program called Consideration of Others. That's not about what,

328
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 11: not what the military is about, you know. And so

329
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 11: when I look at Pete Hegseth and what he is

330
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 11: trying to discuss, we've got to get back to those

331
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 11: core competencies. And if you go and look at Barack Obama,

332
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 11: in his first six years as commander in chief, he

333
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 11: got rid of some one hundred and ninety generals. So

334
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 11: this is not something that is new.

335
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 12: You know.

336
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 11: He was the one that started this social engineering program

337
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 11: in the military.

338
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 12: And let's be very.

339
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 11: Honest, this whole thing about women in combat is not

340
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 11: the real issue.

341
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 12: It is women and combat.

342
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 11: Billits positions such as infantry, armors, special operation forces. So

343
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 11: when we look at our civilian world, we don't have

344
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 11: men and women competing in figure skating. We don't have

345
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 11: men and women competing in gymnastics. We don't have men

346
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 11: and women competing in bob sledding. So while we all

347
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 11: of a sudden believe that there is no standard and

348
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 11: everyone should be able to come in and join in

349
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 11: the military for whatever reason, the military is the most

350
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 11: discriminatory organization around because our mission is different from the

351
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 11: civilian sector.

352
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: It absolutely is.

353
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 7: Colonel I feel pretty good about Pete Headseth getting confirmed.

354
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 7: Now you know plow on the hill. Of course, how

355
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 7: do you read those teles? Because I think that he

356
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 7: brings to the job the fighting man's spirit.

357
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: Just what you just talking about. We're not here to

358
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: play games with pronouns and so forth.

359
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 7: We're here to fire weapons systems and defensive systems and

360
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 7: develop new systems to protect the United States of America.

361
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 7: Whether it's from drones or Iran or a nuclear force,

362
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 7: doesn't matter. We're here to protect the place. What do

363
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 7: you think about it in him?

364
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 11: Well, when you look at those core competencies first and foremost,

365
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 11: look at the recruiting and retention, how it has failed

366
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 11: during the Biden Harris administration, that's the first thing we

367
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 11: have to do.

368
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 12: Nobody wants to join.

369
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 11: A military where they're focusing on pronouns, where they're focusing

370
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 11: on gender dysph you. And as a matter of fact,

371
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 11: these people that call themselves transgender, they're not deployable, Steve,

372
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 11: because of these surgeries and hormonal therapies they have to

373
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 11: go through. So why would you have someone in uniform

374
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 11: they can't even deploy to be a part of the

375
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 11: mission of the United States military. So yes, it's time

376
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 11: that we bring someone from outside with a fresh perspective.

377
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 11: And you look at the current current Secretary of Defense.

378
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 11: He was a four star general. He was someone that

379
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 11: I served with at Fort Bragg. He was a brigade

380
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 11: commander in the eighty second Airborne Division. But something has

381
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 11: happened with these generals today that align themselves more so politically.

382
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 12: And even the.

383
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 11: Current chairman of George he's the staff General Charles C. Q.

384
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 11: Brown saying that we should have x percentage of white

385
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 11: combat fighter pilots in the Air Force. Give me a break.

386
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 11: Why are we putting these type of thoughts and perspectives

387
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 11: out there that are politically oriented instead of being about

388
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 11: having the best, most capable, most lethal military that the

389
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 11: world has ever seen.

390
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 7: Let me ask you this, colonel, I mean about recruiting

391
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 7: and retention. Now, if Donald Trump goes out there and delivers,

392
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 7: and he's a different Donald Trump right now than he's

393
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 7: ever been. I just saw him be conciliatory and nice

394
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 7: to the press corps even when they're asking.

395
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: Really dumb question.

396
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 7: Goes, you don't ask me that question, he goes, I

397
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 7: can insult you, but I'm not going to.

398
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, where's Donald Trump? Is he off? Today?

399
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 7: If Donald Trump went out there and gave a heartfelt message, listen,

400
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 7: we need you to be part of the American military.

401
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 7: Were going to increase pay, We're going to increase benefits.

402
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: We're going to do whatever.

403
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 7: Maybe alongside Pete Hegsath, who is a youthful individual, right,

404
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 7: he had totally different looked for the Department of Defense

405
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 7: and the Defense Secretary. Could they boost recruitment and retention?

406
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 12: Well, of course they will.

407
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 11: The most important thing is we got a new commander

408
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 11: in chief, and we have a commander in chief that

409
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 11: is not going to abandon our soldier, sailors, aerbon marines

410
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 11: like what we saw in Afghanistan and put them in

411
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 11: a horrible situation and caused the lives of thirteen to

412
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 11: be lost, and then stand up there on the debate

413
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 11: stage and say that they never lost anyone in combat,

414
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 11: or when you had Kamala Harris on the base stage

415
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 11: saying that we don't have any troops that are deployed

416
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 11: in combat zones. We hear those messages. They hear those messages,

417
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 11: and they know that these are people that don't care

418
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 11: about them. So first and foremost, they know that they

419
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 11: have a commander in chief that's not going to put

420
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 11: them in an untenable position. He's going to give them

421
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 11: good guidance, good orders to go in, find the bad guys.

422
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 12: Kill them.

423
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 11: And we're not going to be about an occupation military anymore.

424
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, And once you go into the terrafs, you're not

425
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 7: going to offer them a breast augmentation, just a guess,

426
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 7: you know, or anything else like that, right, I mean,

427
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 7: let's be serious.

428
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: This is this is foolishness. You know, you get this surgery,

429
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: that surgery can't be deployed. Good God, Allan, it's remarkable

430
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: to me.

431
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 7: That is the most reprehensible use of tax dollars I've

432
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 7: seen yet.

433
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: And I've seen plenty, but I'm going to give you

434
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: the last word.

435
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 12: No, you're absolutely right.

436
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 11: The American people are not paying for social engineering in

437
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 11: our military. They're paying for a military that, as George

438
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 11: Orwell said, the nation sleeps peacefully at night because rough

439
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 11: Man is standing ready to do.

440
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 12: Violence on her behalf.

441
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 11: They want a military that will deploy, that will fight,

442
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 11: that will win, and they want their families to be

443
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 11: taken care of as well, not this agenda saying that

444
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 11: we're going to gender transition, the the families, the children

445
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 11: of our deployed servicemen and women.

446
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 12: So all of this crap has gone.

447
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 11: It's going to be a new day come January to

448
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 11: twenty the twenty twenty five, new commander in cheat and

449
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 11: again we're going to make our military great again.

450
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 7: All right, Two things before you go. Number One, I'm

451
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 7: a Valls fan, comes Saturday night. All right, that's number one.

452
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 7: Number two, Merry Christmas, my friend.

453
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 12: Merry Christmas, God bless you, thank you, Steve go Balls.

454
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: All right, Coval, there you have it. You know, sorry,

455
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: Ohio State. I can't.

456
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 7: I just can't coming up half of the break. As

457
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 7: Donald Trump has sent to take office in thirty five days.

458
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 7: Inflation is still a challenge for American families. I'm talking

459
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 7: about possible solutions up neck well. As inflation continues to

460
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 7: impact household budgets. One of the most pressing concerns for

461
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 7: families across this nation is, of course, the rising cost

462
00:21:59,480 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 7: of food.

463
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: From groceries to dining out.

464
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 7: Prices have surged, exqueezing wallets, enforcing money to rethink their

465
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 7: shopping habits, and just five years food prices have risen.

466
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 7: Get this, twenty eight percent join me now to discuss

467
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 7: what needs to change for this situation to improvese mik Ucharski.

468
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 7: He is the co owner and vice president of JKC Trucking.

469
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 7: And you see the problem is bad energy policy leads

470
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 7: to inflation as well, which means higher price at the

471
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 7: grocery store.

472
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: Mike, nice to see you again.

473
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 10: Thank you for having me on your show again.

474
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 12: The good seeing you too.

475
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 7: Look for anybody who doesn't understand this, the entire world

476
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 7: moves on palettes that come from ships that are put

477
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 7: on eighteen wheelers and get shipped all over this country.

478
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 7: Whether it's bananas or barbecue sauce. The whole world moves

479
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 7: on pallets. And when those pallettes are on vehicles that

480
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 7: are burning diesel and gasoline. And it costs more. Well,

481
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 7: it costs people more, doesn't.

482
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: It, Mike correct.

483
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, hig diesel affects the entire food production

484
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 10: spectrum because farmers produce meat, producers, everybody uses diesel to

485
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 10: deliver food products use diesel across the whole process to

486
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 10: deliver food to the end use of the American people.

487
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 10: So diesel affects everybody. You know, not everybody uses diesel,

488
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 10: but if you buy anything in the truck, you seventy

489
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 10: percent of all goods are delivered in trucks. Diesel is

490
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 10: affecting you. And you know, consumer shoppers are starting to

491
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 10: push back. Consumers are sick and tired of seeing these

492
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 10: high cost of food.

493
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, and here's some other things. News flash. That

494
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 7: oil that people on the left are so worried about,

495
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 7: it also creates fertilizer which helps grow food. It is

496
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 7: in your John Deere tractor, It's in your Kenworth, your

497
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 7: Pewter build, it's in all of these vehicles. It's the

498
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 7: glasses you're wearing. Micts in everything. And they have this

499
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 7: notion that somehow we're just going to get rid of it.

500
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 7: We're going to save the world. In you it's complete foolishness,

501
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 7: and all it does is hurt the people that are

502
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 7: at the lowest end of the income ladder, doesn't it.

503
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 10: No, it definitely here's a lower income that that impacts

504
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 10: them the most. You know, because there are many factors

505
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 10: why food inflation is not decreasing. You know, Number one,

506
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 10: do the high cost of food. Cost of food consumers

507
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 10: are dealing with, you know, like you said, twenty five

508
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 10: to thirty percent more paying more for their groceries since

509
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 10: the pandemic, the food production industry and the trucking industry

510
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 10: are dealing with something called volume volatility and what is

511
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 10: vyme volatility. This is caused by supplying demand. Food volumes

512
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 10: are down due to high cost of groceries. This is

513
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 10: a domino effect. Americans are buying less food because they

514
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 10: cannot afford it. Americans are literally skipping meals. I know,

515
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 10: I am and I have three jobs. By Americans consuming less,

516
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 10: this is killing the trucking industry daily. In an industry,

517
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 10: when the volumes are down, we are all fighting. We're

518
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 10: all all fighting for the same freight, undercutting each other,

519
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 10: and the fray goes to the lowest bidder, but all

520
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 10: of our costs and feud will have skyrocket, you know,

521
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 10: causing truckers to go out business daily. And the bigger

522
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 10: impact that we're going to have in the long run,

523
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 10: this will further hurt the economy when the economy stabilizes

524
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 10: and we go back to pre COVID volumes, because we're

525
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 10: not going to have the as many truckers to move

526
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 10: the freight.

527
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, let me ask you about that. I wanted to

528
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 7: touch on that next year. You took me right to it. Mike,

529
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 7: Let's talk about the lack of truckers, the shortage of

530
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 7: truckers in America.

531
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: And look, this is one of the great jobs. You

532
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: don't need, you.

533
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 7: Know, one hundred thousand dollars of college debt, and you

534
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 7: can go out and make one hundred thousand dollars in

535
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 7: your first year. Some of these places are paying multiples

536
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 7: of one hundred thousand dollars depending on where you are

537
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 7: and what kind of rig you're running. You can make

538
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 7: a real living support of family driving an eighteen wheeler,

539
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 7: driving big equipment and trucks. And yet we have a

540
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 7: massive shortage of people, don't we.

541
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, we've always were short on truck drivers, even pre

542
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 10: pre COVID, because the generations of truck drivers, the beam

543
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 10: and bluters, are older, and a lot of these truck

544
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 10: drivers are you know, retiring, and we're bringing you blood in,

545
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 10: but we're not bringing as many drivers in as drivers

546
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 10: are coming out. So at one point, you know, we're

547
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 10: going to hit the reverse level. We're going to hit

548
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 10: you know, we're going to be short on drivers more

549
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 10: than we are so pre pandemic. I want to say

550
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 10: we're short like about eighty thousand drivers. Now let's say

551
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 10: about forty thousand drivers because the buomes are down, but

552
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 10: the baby rowers are going out of are retiring. What's

553
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 10: going to happen when let's say fifteen twenty percent of

554
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 10: these drivers retire, How we're going to fill this hole?

555
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 10: That number might be even more?

556
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, big hold coming up. So opportunity men, women, pay attention.

557
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 7: There's opportunity out there. You can drive and look, we

558
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 7: need better energy policies in America and I hope Donald

559
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 7: Trump brings it.

560
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word, Mike, on what we're.

561
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 7: Going to face in twenty twenty five with Donald Trump

562
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 7: hopefully helping us out.

563
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 10: Yes, My opinion is inflation is the hidden tax on

564
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 10: the American people. How do we stop it. We need

565
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 10: to sit down with our legislators to show them our problems,

566
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 10: to educate them to come up with solutions together to

567
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 10: make the supply chain more efficient. And I think we

568
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 10: saw that this is this election. People voted with their wallets.

569
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: Were they were fed up.

570
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 10: You knows, are fed up paying more for less?

571
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.

572
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 7: Of course we're fed up paying more for less. You know,

573
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 7: the six ounce pack to potato chips in the bag?

574
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: Is this bing? Doesn't make a lot of sense. Mike Kucharski,

627
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 7: Found that Abundant Life School shooting there earlier today.

628
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Let's join in live.

629
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 12: N B. A.

630
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: Rnes.

631
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 14: I'm currently the chief of Police for the Madison Police Department.

632
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 14: I'll be providing a brief update of the school shooting

633
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 14: that we had today in Madison. There was some information

634
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 14: that we're not going to release because it's still an

635
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 14: ever evolving situation. You're here from some of our representatives,

636
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 14: from our city and from our county, and behind me

637
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 14: are a lot of people who came together today to

638
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 14: make sure that the day ended well and then everyone

639
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 14: else was safe. So if that being said, I'll go

640
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 14: ahead and start my remarks. Today truly is a sad

641
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 14: day for Madison and for our country. It is a

642
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 14: day that I believe will live in our collective minds

643
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 14: for a very very long time. Heard the details today

644
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 14: At ten fifty seven am, our team was called to

645
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 14: the Abundant Life Christian School in reference to an active shooter.

646
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 14: We know that three people are dead, including the suspect shooter.

647
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 14: We know that the suspect shooter was a teenage student

648
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 14: who attended the school. At this time, we're not releasing

649
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 14: the age or gender of the student or any other

650
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 14: identifying remarks about the student. Two other people have died.

651
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 14: That died were a teacher and a teenage student. Six

652
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 14: other people were injured. Two students are now in critical

653
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 14: condition in the hospital and these injuries are considered life

654
00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 14: threatening injuries. Four students are also at other area spills

655
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 14: with non life threatening injuries. But these are just the

656
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 14: physical injuries that we know about. We know that this

657
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 14: was the middle of the day of a school day,

658
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 14: and so there will be other injuries that we'll have

659
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 14: to face for a very long time, and we're going

660
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 14: to do everything we can as a community to heal

661
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 14: those injuries as well. Many of you have asked me

662
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 14: about the why of this, Why did this happen?

663
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 4: What do we know? What was the motivation?

664
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 14: I do not know, but I will tell you this,

665
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 14: Our detectives are working hard in an investigative process to

666
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 14: find out as many answers as we can so that

667
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 14: we can further prevent these things from happening, not only

668
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 14: in this community, but in other communities around our country.

669
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 14: I think we can all agree that enough is enough,

670
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 14: and we have to come together to do everything we

671
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 14: can to support our students to prevent press conferences like

672
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 14: these from happening again and again and again. The school

673
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 14: building itself is clear. We have cleared the school. There's

674
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 14: no other threats or danger to the community. We're in

675
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 14: the process now what we call reunification, and what that

676
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 14: simply means is making sure that every student that was

677
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 14: in the school is present and accounted for and return

678
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 14: to their loved ones. This usually takes a while, but

679
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 14: we have practiced, unfortunately, and practice and practice, and that's

680
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 14: why we're able to reunify students with their parents within hours.

681
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: Of a school shooting.

682
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 14: The reunification has taking place at the Dean Clinic on

683
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 14: Stoughton Road, and I certainly thank them for their help. Again,

684
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 14: we need our public to find an alternate route if

685
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 14: that is your normal way home. As we get closer

686
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 14: to the end of the day, please be patient or

687
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 14: find another route home. We're currently processing the scene, we're

688
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 14: interviewing those who may have been witnesses, and we're obtaining

689
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 14: search wants to get additional information. And lastly, I want

690
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 14: to just say thank you to everyone who's standing behind me,

691
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 14: the organizations and agencies that they represent, the men and

692
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 14: women of the Madison Police Department, and Dane County Sheriff's

693
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 14: Office who selflessly ran into a building not knowing what

694
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 14: they were going to encounter. Many of you know this

695
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 14: about me, but I started my professional career, if you will,

696
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 14: as a public school teacher back in nineteen ninety seven,

697
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 14: and I taught public school for four years. It was

698
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 14: one of the greatest joys of my life before becoming

699
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 14: a police officer. And I can tell you what a

700
00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 14: special place our schools are. With that being said, we

701
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 14: owe it to our community to do everything possible to

702
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 14: ensure that it's not only a special place, but a

703
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 14: safe place as well, and we're going to continue to

704
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 14: do that. So we ask for your patience as information

705
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 14: is coming in. We will do the best that we

706
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 14: can to bring you accurate and timely information. But we

707
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 14: want to make sure that our public knows that we're

708
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 14: working extremely hard on this particular incident. There are a

709
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 14: lot of people involved, and certainly we're going to come

710
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 14: together as a community. I like to bring up at

711
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 14: this time police fire Chief Chris Carbon.

712
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 15: Thank you Chief Burns. Before I started, the only thing

713
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 15: I can say is this is not a place that

714
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 15: any fire chief or any one of us would ever

715
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 15: want to be and I can't believe I'm standing here

716
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 15: today talking about this incident. The Fire Department is a

717
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 15: part of this community much like all the folks standing

718
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 15: up here with me today. Our hearts are with and

719
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 15: our arms are around everybody impacted today and everybody within

720
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 15: our community. With that, I won't repeat the details shared

721
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 15: by Chief Barnes, but I will share with you the

722
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 15: fire department activity for today. Much like Chief Barnes mentioned

723
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 15: at ten fifty seven, we were also dispatched with Engine

724
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 15: five and Medic five to.

725
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 4: The same location.

726
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 15: Throughout the course of the incident, we responded with five

727
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 15: engine companies, four ladder companies, fifteen ambulances. I would like

728
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 15: to take a moment and share our gratitude for our

729
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 15: county partners throughout a multitude of VMS and fire agencies

730
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 15: that joined us in the response.

731
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: Today.

732
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 15: We all said eleven off duty chief officers that came

733
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 15: in on this response. It was a tremendous response from

734
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 15: the fire department. We transported four patients to Saint Mary's.

735
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 15: We transported three patients to the University of Wisconsin Hospitals

736
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 15: on the arrival of our crews. I can say my

737
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 15: gratitude to our membership for what they did and their

738
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 15: selfless actions. Today it's hard for me to place into

739
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 15: words what they ran into as well. They did that immediately,

740
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 15: they did that selflessly, and within a course of fifteen minutes,

741
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 15: from the first transport to the last transport, all the

742
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 15: patients were on their way to the hospital. So to

743
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 15: our membership within the Madison Fire Department and within all

744
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 15: the emergency services, my gratitude, my recognition of the work

745
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 15: that goes into this, the training that went into this

746
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 15: that again we had hoped we would never have to

747
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 15: put into practice one more time. On behalf of the

748
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 15: Madison Fire Department, our hearts are with you, our arms

749
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 15: are around you, and we will be with you throughout

750
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 15: the duration of this. So at this point I will

751
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,959
Speaker 15: step aside turn over to the mayor.

752
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 8: Thank you, chiefs, both of you.

753
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 16: This is an incredibly sad day for our community. As

754
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 16: you've heard, there is no danger to the community at

755
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 16: this time, but our entire community has been impacted by

756
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 16: this tragic incident. On behalf of the Common Council and

757
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 16: the City of Madison staff, I want to offer our

758
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 16: heartfelt condolences to the victims and families and to the

759
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 16: whole abundant life community. Our focus now is on supporting

760
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 16: them and supporting the victims and their families, and we

761
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 16: will continue to do that through the coming days and weeks.

762
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 16: I also want to thank our first responders and the police, fire,

763
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 16: the medical staff for their quick action and their life

764
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 16: saving efforts. As you've heard already, this is a whole

765
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 16: of government response. It is not just police and fire,

766
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 16: It is not just City of Madison, and we have

767
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 16: folks from all around the county. We have folks from

768
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 16: multiple agencies engaged in both the initial immediate response and

769
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 16: the ongoing support, and will be engaged for days and

770
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 16: weeks to come. I also want to thank the White

771
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 16: House and the governor and others in the federal government

772
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 16: and state government for reaching out to offer their support

773
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 16: and help, and we will be drawing on resources as

774
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 16: needed going forward. But the most important thing right now

775
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 16: is to make sure that we are centering the victims

776
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 16: and their families, and that we are doing whatever we

777
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 16: can to support them and to help them heal and

778
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 16: to lift our entire community up through this difficult incident.

779
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 16: I am on record that I think we need to

780
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 16: do better in our country and our community to prevent

781
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 16: gun violence. And hope, I hope that this day would.

782
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 4: Never come in madisone.

783
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 16: It is not something that any mayor any fire chief,

784
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 16: any police chief, any person in public office ever wants

785
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 16: to have to deal with. And so I will ask

786
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 16: our entire community and our entire country to do whatever

787
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 16: we can to make sure that no public official ever

788
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 16: has to stand in this position again. And now I'll

789
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 16: invite the counting executive to the podium.

790
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 8: Good afternoon everyone.

791
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 17: Today our community is reeling from the heartbreaking and senseless

792
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 17: tragedies at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. As a

793
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 17: mom who received a text from her son out of

794
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 17: high school here in the city of Madison, wondering if

795
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 17: he was safe, I can tell you this hits you

796
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 17: on the gut. Our community is better than us, Our

797
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 17: country is better than us. Cannot continue. My heart goes

798
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 17: out to the victims and their families, and the students

799
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 17: and the educators, and.

800
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 8: The list goes on and on.

801
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 17: Every one of us is affected by this unimaginable and

802
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 17: unacceptable violence that has hit our community today. In school community,

803
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 17: the Department, the Department of Emergency Management, Department of Human

804
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 17: services have all been on the front lines. My phone

805
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 17: has been ringing from people across our state and our

806
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 17: nation asking what it is that they can do to

807
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 17: help our community. And right now it is our time

808
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 17: to be committed to supporting this school, these students, and

809
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 17: these families, and our first responders who went into that

810
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 17: building during this devastating time. We must work closely with

811
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 17: our law enforcement officers and first responders, mental health professionals,

812
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 17: community leaders, and policymakers to ensure that we are taking

813
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 17: care of one another. No community should ever have to

814
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 17: ensure in endure such a tragedy, and my administration is

815
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 17: going to do everything that it can to provide.

816
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 8: Assistance to those who have experienced.

817
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,479
Speaker 17: This devastating loss and also do everything that we can

818
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 17: to prevent such tragedy from occurring. To all of those

819
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 17: are aggrieving in our community, please know that you're not alone.

00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 17: Dan County stands with you. We're here to support you

821
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 17: in any way possible. Please reach out and ask for help.

822
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 17: The Governor's office as well as the Mayor's office and

823
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 17: I will continue to update the public as we learn more.

824
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 17: But please understand there are many things that we cannot

825
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 17: share with you right now. This is an active investigation.

826
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 17: This is an active case. The SSM Health Clinic near

827
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 17: the intersection of Buckeye Road in Stone.

828
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 8: Road is the reunification center.

829
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 17: I know that that has been out, but we need

830
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 17: to make sure that folks know where it is that

831
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 17: they can go to reunited with their children again.

832
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 8: In the coming days.

833
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 17: We are going to make sure that we are supporting

834
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 17: those that have been most impacted by this, but folks

835
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 17: reach out, ask for help.

836
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 8: This does not need to be the reality of our community.

837
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 4: Thank you all right, start.

838
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 12: Over here with questions timeline.

839
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 14: How sure we received the call at approximately ten fifty

840
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 14: seven am. Someone from the call from the school call

841
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 14: now one one to report that there was an active shooter.

842
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 14: That means something different to us. Obviously, there's different protocols

843
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 14: that go out tone alerts even so that even if

844
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 14: officers are busy doing other things, they respond. One of

845
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 14: the things that I do want to note is that

846
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 14: our training center is about three miles from there. We

847
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 14: have Special Event Team medics. UH, those that work with

848
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 14: the fire department responded to this particular scene from their

849
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 14: training day. So what began as a training day became

850
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 14: an actual day, and so that's how this call originally

851
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 14: came in.

852
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 12: Nicholas, did your pressure?

853
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 14: What can you tell us if anything more about the

854
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 14: shooter and what their motivations were, or that you may

855
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 14: contact with their family members, anything anything.

856
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 6: Dated on that.

857
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 14: Sure, it's nothing new that I can tell you about

858
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 14: the shooter at this time. Again, as as as difficult

859
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 14: as today is, that's still someone's child that's gone. That's

860
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 14: still someone that has to deal with, uh what happened today,

861
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 14: and so we want to make sure that we can

862
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 14: ensure as much cooperation as we can. You asked me

863
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 14: about why as I stayed it before. I don't know why,

864
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 14: and I felt like if we did know why, we

865
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 14: could stop these things from happening. But what I will

866
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 14: tell you is, as soon as we are done with

867
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 14: the investigation, any information that we uncover that will not

868
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 14: compromise the safety of anyone involved or compromise the confidentiality

869
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 14: of any of these.

870
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 4: Children that are involved, will tell you. I just ask

871
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 4: for your patients.

872
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 15: So alright over there, sorry or Chep, what kind of done.

873
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:15,479
Speaker 1: Was you say?

874
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 14: We know it it was a handgun. We know a

875
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 14: handgun was recovered. All rights and darnthor what's.

876
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: The street confined to one classroom or did it sprall

877
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 3: grow over?

878
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 14: We know it was confin confined to one space. I

879
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 14: don't do not know if it was a classroom or

880
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 14: a hallway.

881
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

882
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 14: One of the things that we've gotten very good at,

883
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 14: certainly different from in my day, is that if you

884
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 14: do not need to be in a crime scene, you

885
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 14: do not need to go to a crime scene. And

886
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 14: so the crime scene and those persons who were involved,

887
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 14: they have that crime scene locked down, did not uh

888
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 14: go or enter uh.

889
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 4: Into that crime scene.

890
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 14: But if you can imagine most schools, the s the

891
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 14: students go together, but they are seg segregated, so on

892
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,959
Speaker 14: each different floor, in each different group. And so there's

893
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 14: no evidence that anyone uh else was injured that was

894
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 14: not in that age group.

895
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

896
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 12: Uh, what can you say at this time about how

897
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 12: school shop responded?

898
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: What do you child started?

899
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 14: I cannot speak to how the school's staff responded. You know,

900
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 14: we we did have injuries, but it could always of

901
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 14: course had additional injuries. I do not know what the

902
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 14: school's protocols are. Again, this is a private Christian school.

903
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 14: I know that we have a very good rapport with

904
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 14: MMSD Madison UH Metropolitan Schools public schools, So we have

905
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 14: done trainings for them before, but I would assume that

906
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 14: most of the teachers have the same or some similar

907
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 14: type of training as a part of their certification.

908
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 6: There's a complicated reports abide about how many students.

909
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 9: Are in a little bit of this school?

910
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 6: Can you conferve across and that.

911
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 7: We and how many students in comes school.

912
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 14: I do not know how many students attend the school,

913
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 14: but their website says that they serve about two hundred families.

914
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 12: Right in the back White kuh uh.

915
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 15: What kind of sports system etineery made available bit of

916
00:46:58,600 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 15: people who were.

917
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,479
Speaker 14: Reffected, But that's a good question. As you heard from

918
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 14: our mayor and our counter exec we have services within

919
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 14: our government that will be made available to them. I

920
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 14: have a lot of confidence that they're going to follow

921
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 14: through on that and we'll make sure that that persons

922
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 14: who need you guys.

923
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 4: Can speak to that.

924
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 17: So Dane County Human Services as well as the Red

925
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 17: Cross and other consolidated agencies are already on scene and

926
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 17: we will continue to be on scene and those resources

927
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 17: will be bolstered.

Speaker 8: Again, please reach out, you are not alone.

929
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 17: We are going to navigate this together and there are

930
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 17: people who are affected by this trauma who are not

931
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 17: in the reunification center or at the school. We need

932
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 17: folks to be reaching out because we do have resources available.

933
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 17: Did you know if a London Christian Life school did

934
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 17: they have a school resource.

935
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 8: Officer from the Bilance?

936
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 14: It's not my knowledge that they had a school resource

937
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 14: officer that if they did, it would be a police officer.

938
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 14: And I know where they all are and they're not

939
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 14: in the schools right now.

940
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 7: And vector so in terms of when the States said,

941
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 7: you mentioned about investigation and what is that?

942
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 8: What you like and help your bitnesses are speaking there?

943
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 14: Sure, so the detectives will talk to anyone who may

944
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 14: have seen uh, this particular event unfold anyone that may

945
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 14: have been unfortunate to hear something, They will be talking

946
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 14: to them. It's my understanding that that's in process now

947
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 14: and everyone is cooperating fully. That will give us a

948
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 14: an idea of not only what unfolded, but it could

949
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 14: answer the question to motivation because again the students who

950
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 14: unfortunately had to witness this. But that's not something that

951
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 14: we want to rush. We you know, we're We're not

952
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 14: going to interrogate students. We're we're gonna give them an

953
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 14: opportunity to come in and speak to what they may

954
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 14: have solved when they feel ready, which is why, Uh,

955
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 14: some of these questions can be answered right now.

956
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: All right, special, how do you reassure the community that

957
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 3: it's still okay they go back to school. I mean,

958
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 3: everybody's got kids, and I think, you know, maybe happen

959
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 3: at this school, but there's everybody just had to kid anywhere.

960
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 12: It can be hard.

961
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're asking me.

962
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 14: How can I say one hundred percent that no child

963
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 14: will ever be harmed in school?

964
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 4: I can't, No police chief can.

965
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 14: But all I can tell you is that we have

966
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 14: systems in place so that if something happens, we can

967
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 14: respond like we did today. I can tell you that

968
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 14: our mayor and our county exec has committed resources to

969
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 14: not only public health but also mental health. I can

970
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 14: tell you that every teacher that I've ever had contact

971
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 14: with at MMSD cares deeply about their students.

972
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 4: Every staff member.

973
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 14: I talk to staff members all the time who tell

974
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 14: me things that are going on in the schools and

975
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 14: want to do whatever they can, even if it's under

976
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 14: aminymity to let me know that they want to have

977
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 14: a safe school. So my reassurance to the public is

978
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 14: that if you see something, say something, If you know

979
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 14: someone who may be going through a difficult time, please

980
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 14: reach out to someone. And I think what I can

981
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 14: do is make sure that our police department is transparent

982
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 14: and open and honest and inviting for people to call

983
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 14: and give information. I think MMSD does an excellent job

984
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 14: of that. And the same thing can be said for

985
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 14: any other private school. If you want to give information

986
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 14: or you need someone to talk to, I can promise

987
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 14: you we'll have someone there to get that information.

988
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 12: All right, understanding of the surprivate school, you may not

989
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 12: be as familiar with.

990
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 15: What can you tell us about some of the physical

991
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 15: measures that are in place of this school, whether it's.

992
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 12: Metal detectors in your entry way cameras.

993
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 14: Self, Yeah, that's a good question. I've never been in

994
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 14: this school. Unfortunately, I'm not aware that there were metal

995
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 14: detectors in the school. That's something that we can certainly

996
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 14: look at. Most schools have some form of surveillance or

997
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 14: public space cameras, but that will be of course part

998
00:50:58,920 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 14: of the investigation.

999
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 12: Can you clarify.

1000
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 4: You said seven were injured or six were hospitalized?

1001
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 12: Is that anyone's been treated with at.

1002
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 3: Least And secondly, is the shooter's family cooperating with the investigation?

1003
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, so it's two questions, but let me try to

1004
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 14: try to handle handle the first one. So I'm trying

1005
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 14: to to to go back to my notes. So we

1006
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 14: do know that one person was pronounced uh at the scene,

1007
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 14: and so that may be the the seventh person. But

1008
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 14: we can get you all that information just when we're done,

1009
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 14: or have my p IO give that to you so

1010
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 14: you can report it accurately. And what was your second question?

1011
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 14: Is the shooters family cooperating at this time?

1012
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 12: Yes, so you have made contact with the shooter's family.

1013
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 4: We have.

1014
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 10: And what were the stuff done.

1015
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 4: Through the investigative process?

1016
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: Okay? Is the shooter's home being searched shooter?

1017
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 4: Yes?

1018
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 14: Obviously, once we have identified, we have initiative search. But

1019
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 14: we think that search is either ongoing now or that

1020
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 14: search may be concluded. Of course, it's about safety. That's

1021
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 14: the first thing, making sure that people are safe, and

1022
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 14: then we'll go from there. This has been I'm sorry,

1023
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 14: this has been an amazing day for everyone and so

1024
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 14: if you have someone who is deceased who may have

1025
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 14: been a shooter, you want to make sure that their

1026
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:24,240
Speaker 14: families okay.
