Everybody, great to 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.560 have you with me. Thank you so much for joining. 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.760 An honor and a privilege to have you with me 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.160 here in the Freedom Hum We've got quite a show 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:11.400 plan for you. Eight four four eight four eight two five. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.840 Big story everyone's talking about today is the tariffs, the 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:23.160 steel tariffs. So Trump and trade and China, it's all 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.520 happening just like just like he said it would, and 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.440 now people are getting upset about it. And here's what 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:39.240 the President said. We'll be in imposing tariffs on steel 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.759 imports and tariffs on aluminum imports, and you're gonna see 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.080 a lot of good things happen. You're gonna see expansions 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.800 of the companies. I know that, David, you said you'd 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.960 be expanding, Tim, I know you said you were expanding 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.200 it all pretty much all of them of you will 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.160 immediately be expanding if we give you that level of 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.240 playing field and we give you that help. So we 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.040 will see how this works out. Now, we'll see if 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:10.520 in fact the President's assessment of the situation with China 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.560 and what should be done about it is correct. We've 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.920 got Gordon Chang joining us later to discuss that in 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.560 more detail. Look, a part of this is that up 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:25.880 until this point, it's been mostly US administrations concerned with 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.760 upsetting China, doing anything that would rock the boat on 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.840 trade with China. And Trump even pointed out that there 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.560 have been some some who came before him in the 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.160 White House who really just they didn't have a clue. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.720 People have no idea how badly our country has been 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.880 treated by other countries by people representing US that didn't 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.320 have a clue, Or if they did, then they should 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.440 be ashamed of those guys, because they've destroyed the stale industry, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.280 They've destroyed the illuminum industrict and other industries strictly when 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.680 you look at all the lands to car plants, automobile 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.040 plants that moved down to Mexico for no reason whatsoever 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.359 except we didn't know what we were doing, so we're 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:12.160 bringing it all back. We will see. There are plenty 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.320 of conservatives that I'm sure some of you will be 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.079 hearing from in the days and weeks ahead. We will 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:23.160 argue that tariffs are inherently state action that favors some 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.919 industry at the expense of everyone not in that industry. Now, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.520 in this case, you have the national security considerations of 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.680 a domestic steel industry. I get that, some say that's overblown. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.080 With aluminum. Uh, you have some companies that are going 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.680 to be upset by this, clearly right, and this will 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.760 just be one example of many, But aluminum producers, I 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.720 think this is great domestic alumen bruisers. But if you're Anheuser, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.080 Bush or Coca Cola, you will not think this is 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.320 great because your cost of business is going to go 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.320 up as a result of it. Um interesting though, that 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.960 those who will always claim that the government shouldn't be 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.440 picking winners and losers often failed to take into account. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.600 This is just my feeling on these things. Well, I 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.160 guess I'm doing a radio show, so all this is 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.800 my feeling on things. Um. But the government is already 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.760 always picking winners and losers with the way that it 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.280 regulates and manages the economy. It's a question how much 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.000 and who the winners are, who the losers are with 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.680 regard to a global marketplace. Now, so this will now 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.159 be put to the test because the market dropped four 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.280 hundred plus points or so. People are concerned about this 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.200 one but one one day market dropped because people get 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.760 spooked about what's going to happen in a possible trade 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.640 war with China. You can't you can't take too much 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.840 away from just what the market does on anyone given day. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.560 But Trump is hey, he's keeping promises, folks. To those 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:51.880 of you who are like I want I want the 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.680 Trump agenda, I want him to do what he said 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.320 he was going to do. That is certainly that is 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.320 certainly happening right now. This is part of what he 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.000 has been pushing for for quite some time. But I 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.800 want to revisit something from yesterday now as well as 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.000 you have the departure, And I was joking around a 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.599 little bit about how I'm pro hope and we should 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.480 give Hope a chance and don't don't let don't let 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.920 Hope disappear and all that. I've never heard her speak, 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.039 and I don't know her, um I. All I know 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.320 about her is what I've read. I do know, however, 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.280 that there was something something funky about the whole situation. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.800 There was something wrong with what had gone on in 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:40.159 this case, and none other other than than than the mooch. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.800 A the mooch. He was over at CNN and he's 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:50.040 had the following. The current situation and the current culture 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.440 inside the administration stays exactly the way it is. There's 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.719 literally no change. There will be a lot more departures. Yeah, 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.920 the morale is at an all time low, and it's 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.599 trending lower now. I know a lot of people will 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.359 say that the problems in the White House are of 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.160 dysfunction of the people they've brought in. Some of them 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.880 lack necessary government experience, which that that has been true 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.760 in some cases, folks. I'm not gonna lie to you. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.600 There have been some people brought in with this administration 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.080 who just couldn't do it. They were the wrong choice. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.240 And I don't think that now the administration is not 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.960 going to publicly kick people after you kick people in 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.719 the butt once they've already been shown the door, right, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.120 So there's no point in saying that. But there have 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.840 been people that were not up for the task they 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.719 were initially assigned. That is just a fact. Uh. That's said. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.640 If the morale is so low on the White House, 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.479 if things are so bad, it's not just because or 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.520 even primarily because of decision making much John Kelly anyone else. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:52.479 It is because it has become a clear plan, a 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.360 clear plot in the media. Two as I was saying yesterday, 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.760 isolate and destroy each and every person in the trump 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.919 Ward bit. And that is why they love the Mueller 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:08.520 probe so much. That is also a major major issue here. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.360 They're never gonna find this Russia collusion because it didn't exist. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.560 The whole thing is preposterous. But I can't call it 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.440 a joke because it's a very effective tool of politics 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:23.120 for the Democrats. The process is the punishment it costs 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.000 for some people tens of thousands of dollars just for 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.440 one appearance in terms of legal fees, which some folks 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.800 brought into this have to pay themselves to sit before Mueller, 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.800 to sit before you know, House Intelligence Committee or whatever 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.920 the case may be. Um, that's a big that's a 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:46.440 big problem. That's something that doesn't get factored into much 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.800 of the analysis on TV about whether or not this 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.320 was This whole Mueller probe is ethical, whether it's justified 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.880 or not. Democrats love it because how how would you 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.800 like to be somebody in the White House right now 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:06.200 who has any relevant knowledge whatsoever of the Trump campaign 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:11.880 and Trump situation. You may get called behind closed doors, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.720 as Hope Picks did, and it seems to me ambushed. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.400 I thought this was the case as soon as I 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.960 saw the initial reporting, but she was testifying before the 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:28.480 House Intelligence Committee, I think, for nine hours. And this 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.960 was a setup, folks. It was a setup, just like 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.960 remember how they got Flynn was a leak, and now 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.800 we're finding out that some people in the FBI didn't 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.719 even think he lied. So someone broke the law to 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:46.880 leak to get Flynn. And then we're seeing, well, I 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.000 don't have tant to go through every administration figure that's 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.760 been pushed out by in one way or another, but 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.520 look at how many other departures have had a at 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.120 least the media's fingerprints on them. If not, they were 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.559 the whole thing, right, they will. They were the fuse 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:06.400 and the charge. They were the ones that initiated the 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.560 series of events or the political news cycle that got 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.680 the departure going. And with Hope Pix, what we saw 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.880 was based on the reporting today. You had a Democrat. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.880 Democrats on the House Intellience Committee, we're asking, asked a 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:25.200 question after nine hours of interrogation. Okay, after nine hours, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:30.520 Democrats asked, what have you ever had? Has your boss, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.080 the president, ever told you to lie? And she conferred 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:35.920 with her Look, I just read this assessment of today. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:42.360 She conferred with her lawyer, and sure enough, the response 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.560 that she gave or initially was well, are we talking 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.520 about any kind of lie? Like if if Trump says, 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:49.960 do I look fat in this? Do I have to 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.280 give him an honest answer? If someone says is the 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.760 President busy and I had to lie to protect his time? 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.200 Does that does that count? I mean, this is what 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.680 I read today. It was the other part of the 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:05.200 story that initially wasn't wasn't shared. And to give an 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.800 answer so as not to lie in her own she said, well, yeah, sometimes, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.120 I mean I've told little I've told white lies. And 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.079 they pounced on this. They leaked it right away to 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.760 the media. They pounced on it. Oh she's a liar. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.520 Trump's a liar. They're all liars. Lie lie, lie. And 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.280 she was planning on leaving anyway because of the pressure. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.679 Maggie Haberman of The New York Times was reporting that 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.600 despite everything everyone saying about the Russia probe, but even 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.680 apart from whether it instigated her to this specific incident 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.960 instigated her departure, It just goes to show you what 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.640 is going on here, whether it's the Democrats in Congress 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.280 or the media, which is really just the public extension 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.760 of the Democrat agenda, they are taking people out. They 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.199 have a political hit list, and they are removing people 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.880 from this administration as quickly as they can. It is 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.720 an embattled, an embattled White House, and not because of 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:04.840 the leunges of global national security policy, not because they 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.040 can't handle the economy. No, not that that stuff is 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:12.960 actually going pretty well. Seeing some of the successes flashing 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.640 on the screen of Fox News a second ago, you know, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:20.160 tax reform, keyston XL pipeline, Neil Gorcich, right, Trump is 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:25.760 getting regardless of the process and what is expected when 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:31.120 we're talking about things like the personnel around him. Trump 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.679 is getting it done, and yet they just think if 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.760 they can isolate him enough and make it as uncomfortable 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.800 as possible to be an employee of this White House, 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.040 to serve your country as an employe of this White House, 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.760 that is a victory for the left. It's a shame. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.560 It's a shame. But but more to the point, also 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.000 this Muller stuff, this investigation now, whether it's Muller or 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.240 the Democrats in the House Intelligence Committee, it seems to 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.200 me that it exists mostly for leaks to see an 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.320 N and MSNB and the major newspapers, The Times, Washington Post, 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:08.040 that's become the m O and it it maybe now 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.040 is really the only reason for their existence. It is 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.800 the rat is the reason for being of these investigations, 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.800 so that we can read day in and day out. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.280 Oh they're looking at Kusher now. Oh they're talking to 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.520 Ivanka now, Oh they're talking just all these leaks to 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.280 feed this insanity. I was just speaking to a friend 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.079 yesterday affair of a very good buddy, but just speaking 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.360 to him about what's going on, and and he came, 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.679 I mean he's kind of a he's a centrist who 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.840 leans right. I'd say he's a right leaning centrist, not 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.760 a not a staunch Republican, not a you know, I 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.120 guess he would say I'm a hardcore conservative. I think 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.640 I'm just buck. I'm kind of an odd duck. But 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.640 he's just like, you know, I'm really noticing something among 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.439 my friends and among people. He went to a very 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.680 fancy school. He's an Ivy League guy, noticing people, noticing 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.880 something among people that when it comes to Trump, they've 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:07.880 really lost their minds, and very educated, very um well 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.959 respected people within different communities have just lost it. And 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.640 I think that's true of a lot of journalists. We 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.440 discussed Trump arrangement syndrome. It's a real thing. It's a 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:22.520 real thing, and it's troubling to me the glee with 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.360 which the media greets every departure now from this White House, 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.080 because whether like it or not, Trump is still the 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.320 president and we want there to be very good people 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:37.520 in roles like well National Security Council and National Security 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.960 Advisor and all all that, all that White House communications, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.600 all the things that need to get staffed at that level. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.040 But they're making it hard. It's part of the obstruction, 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.199 it's part of the never Trump is um and hashtag 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:56.200 resistance mentality, and it's just we're gonna suffer because of it. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.960 It's a shame, it really is um. By the way 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.679 I I had, I'm gonna try hard today to get 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.600 us on a whole bunch of topics, including China Russia 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.000 putin saying that there are invincible nuclear missiles that they have. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.640 Now will get into some of that. We've got some 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.640 special guests joining us today in the third hour of 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.360 the show, But I want to make sure that we 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.400 mix up the topics a bit a bit here and 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.760 not just get onto, you know, the latest with the 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.880 campaign against the n RA and gun control. But there 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:28.240 was a really interesting, worthwhile series of articles I've read 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.960 in the last day or so on how when I 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.920 talk about systemic law enforcement failure leading up to the 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.600 shooting in Florida, that's clearly true. But when you drill 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.920 down into what's going on in Broward County, and I 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.560 saw this a week ago, and I was trying to 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.640 verify it. When you drill down into what happened in 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.680 Broward County specifically with that Sheriff's office and the policies 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:53.360 in place, uh, it's a situation where I can tell 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.760 you that with everything we know, FBI missing the tips, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.960 FBI missing the detailed explanation of the likelihood of Nicolas 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.840 Cruz becoming a shooter, the dozens of calls to Nicolas 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.600 Cruz house by for local law enforcement, and then the 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:11.320 sheriff's deputies not entering the facility where the shooting was happening, 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.600 the building of shooting is happening at the very first opportunity. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.480 With all of that, I've said to you, I just 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:18.800 don't know how it can get worse. You know what, 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.280 it does get worse because when you look at what 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:27.040 Broward Counties Sheriff Sheriff Scott Israel did as a matter 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:31.000 of policy in that county, not only is it alone 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.160 a scandal, but it may in fact have had a 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:40.360 direct and negative impact on the likelihood of the Nicolas 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.320 Cruz shooting happening in the first place. I'll have to 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.720 explain it a bit, and if you stay with me, 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.040 I will, so don't go anywhere. I'll be right back. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.040 The second issue we identified is that even in law enforcement, 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.000 school administrators or family members believe that an individual post 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.360 is the risk of committing an act of violence they 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.400 have very few options to prevent them from purchasing any 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.960 gun or taking the guns away that they already have. Therefore, 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.960 I intend to present a new law, perhaps in coordination 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.480 and others that are working on it now, that will 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.000 lead to the creation of gun violence restraining orders, something 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.520 that will give law enforcement and close family members the 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.920 option of obtaining a court order to prevent gun sales 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.280 or remove guns from individuals who pose a threat. I 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.040 have been a proponent of this from the beginning. I 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.280 think that if we're going to try to take steps 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:35.200 to mitigate the threat right to lessen the likelihood of 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:40.520 a school shooting, gun violence restraining order is completely assuming 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.560 it's crafted properly and there's there is due process. And 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.640 I knew this, yes, Okay, Trump stumbled when he said 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.240 we take the guns first. He got a little out 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.680 of his skis, but obviously not going to do that. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.440 But a gun violence restraining order would be exactly what 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.080 it sounds like. If somebody like Nicholas Cruz is saying 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.680 I'm going to go shoot people and I'm going to 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:03.080 do bad things, um that that could be presented to 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.879 a judge and then that individual could be both have 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.560 his firearms taken from him or her, but pretty much 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:16.320 always a him right or perhaps indefinitely banned from purchasing 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.480 or getting a firearm, and there would be a legal 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.040 process for those who go in front of a judge, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.480 and you know that would be that. Um. I think 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:25.960 this is a I think this is a good idea. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.040 I would also note that, as some others have been 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.200 pointing out, and we're gonna get into this more right 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.680 after the break, you know, threatened to kill somebody's actually 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.360 a felony. And when we're looking at the law law 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.040 force and not doing anything, I'm starting to wonder at 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:44.040 what point his threats, his specific threats, Nicolas cruzes to 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.560 commit violence, commit acts of violence, we're really not actionable. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:53.040 Um I I wonder if that is really a fair 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:58.200 assessment of what went on there, because I'm pretty sure 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.200 that under different circumstances of somebody had posted at a 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.320 threat and the FBI was called and they thought it 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.960 was real, you'd be you'd be in a whole lot 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.840 of trouble. Um, You've been a whole lot of trouble. 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.600 So the gun Violence Restraining Order is I think the 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:19.080 best single policy change that I've heard of um and 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.560 and as you know, I'm I am skeptical of any 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.280 of the actions that are really getting a lot of 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:30.480 attention right now preventing attacks, preventing school shootings. I also 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.800 think that we are in a in a frenzy and 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:38.720 a hysteria right now about school shootings that overstates the threat. 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.600 I'm just gonna tell you, I think the threat is 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.760 overstated right now when when people are telling me that 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.840 we need to put highly trained armed security person, I'm 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.000 hearing this from a lot of folks in over two 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:55.200 hundred thousand schools. Uh. I think that we've gone beyond 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.919 what the threat what the threat is, and we are 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:05.160 giving into an intentional campaign of fearmongering by the left. 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.359 And I don't like it. I disagree with it. But 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:09.639 there's another thing that I need to talk to you 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:14.840 about on that is the Broward County school policy when 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.439 it comes to policing schools in Broward County and what 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.520 the Sheriff's department there got into and what it was 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.719 up to. There's been some very interesting research done on this, 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.919 and here's the short version. Looks like the Broward County 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:33.160 sheriff was even more responsible and more inept more responsible 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.480 for the disaster than we thought. Team Early on in 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:41.399 the aftermath of the Florida shooting, I saw the first 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:50.080 of what seemed to be somewhat conspiratorial postings about the 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:55.160 actions of the Broward County sheriff Department. Now they weren't 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.440 unbelievable claims out of hand, but it seemed a little 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:06.200 little murky citations. The sources weren't great, but it was 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:11.639 a narrative that struck me as plausible, and it was 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:16.400 certainly one also that you couldn't turn to the mainstream 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:21.080 outlets to put much time into uncovering because it would 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.879 take away from their primary narrative, which is the n 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:25.760 r A, which had nothing to do with the floor shooting. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.440 N RA is the bad guy here. I've heard more 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.160 about the n r A than Nicholas Cruz at this point, 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.680 which is a disgrace, but that is true. I've heard 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:37.680 more in the media about the n r A than 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:44.919 the actual evil doer in this case who killed seventeen people. Ah. 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.920 But this storyline that I came across, and actually it 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:49.800 was brought to my attention by some of you, and 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.639 I really do mean it when I say this is 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.960 a team effort. I've gotten so much great information, both 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.080 personal information. Some of you have been you're listening, have 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.600 been sources in the past, and some of you listening 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.639 have pushed me to other sources and and places to 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:10.080 get information that have been essential for this show. I 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.280 had the advantage of not rushing on the air with 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.800 just whatever everybody else is saying. I have the data 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.399 to research and think and pull things together. You know, 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:22.240 if you just want the kind of bare bones, superficial headlines, 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:23.959 are plenty of places to give you that. I spend 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:28.000 all day. I marinate in my analysis if you will 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:29.919 before I come on the air, and you are a 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.600 very important part of that process. Team. You help spice 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:37.600 it up, and sometimes you are absolutely essential with the 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.160 information you bring to my attention. So don't ever feel 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:41.760 like I and I know a lot of you semi 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.440 stuff on Facebook, you semi stuff on Twitter. I read, 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.080 I read it all. I can't always respond, especially if 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.919 you're welcome to write. Some of you write twelve words 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.560 or more. Sometimes that's fine, I'll read it. I just 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.760 can't respond with twelve hundred words or else. M Molly 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.960 is She's not gonna be She's not gonna wait for 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.760 a ring. She's gonna be com me so um. Here's 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:08.000 the storyline, though for Broward County Sheriff's bark is very ah. 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.560 It is a stunning indictment of what was really going 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.760 on there. The storyline was that the Sheriff's department, in 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:23.000 cooperation with the school system there, had decided that it 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:28.359 would be both serving the needs of social justice and 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:34.320 serving their own parochial political needs right their own near 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:39.879 term benefits and prospects if they were to find a 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:43.560 way to make sure that there were less arrests of 0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:48.160 juveniles and Broward County, and that this became a policy 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:51.920 that was agreed upon at the highest level, so at 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:56.399 the level of uh Sheriff Scott Israel himself and also 0:22:56.480 --> 0:23:02.679 brought together the chief of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:07.480 the superintendent of schools, you know, a whole a whole 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:11.480 bunch of different organizations here that decided that it would 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:16.520 be best if they changed the way that policing was 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:21.200 done when it came specifically to that's right, juveniles, teenagers. 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.240 We're going back and looking at what happened with Nicholas Cruz. 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.760 Why didn't they take more action why wasn't more going on? Well, 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:31.240 this is certainly one explanation for it. And like I said, 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:33.480 I didn't until I saw the sourcing. And now it's 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.320 come out because people have dug into Miami Herald articles 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:40.680 and other other newspaper articles that weren't putting together all 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:45.080 these pieces. But we're establishing some of the basic facts 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:49.000 necessary for this theory to be true. So you had 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:56.520 Sheriff Israel's department deciding that they would give a whole 0:23:56.560 --> 0:24:01.800 lot more citations and end the school to prison pipeline. 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:05.280 Less arrests of juveniles. This would serve a whole bunch 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:10.080 of different purposes. Less arrests looks good for the school district, 0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:12.000 because why do you have so many kids who are 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:15.600 either not just engaged in truancy, but also engaged in 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.960
