Hour 3: Oregon school shooting · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, Donald Trump right now is
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: in a very difficult situation. He needs to win these
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: midterm elections, and he was hoping that by not attacking Iran,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: everybody would just forget about Iran for right now. And
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the Iranians are trying to make certain that does not happen.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: That's why they had a terrorist attack that they tried
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to pull off in Great Britain. That's why the Houthis
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: keep attacking Saudi Arabia. And Saudi Arabia apparently is having
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a very difficult time defending themselves about that. That is
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: why also that more ships keep getting through the Straits
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz. I don't know if you heard, but they
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: are now sending another aircraft carrier, the USS George Washington,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: into the Straits. And this is the commanding officer.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Our job and our mission is simply to provide a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: credible combat power to ensure that we have freedom of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: navigation and maritime security in this area.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And control over the street. That's correct.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what we're doing.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So they're trying to make clear, and the reason he
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: said that and the reason he gave an interview, which
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is really unusual, right aboard the aircraft carrier, is that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration wants you to know And wants the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: world to know, no, we're not sending another aircraft carrier
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to attack Iran right now. That's still on the table,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but it's not going to happen. It doesn't look like
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: before the midterms. Yet with another aircraft carrier going into
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the area, what they will be paying attention to, not
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: only the Straits of Hormuz, but the Houthis as well.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: They're going to do everything possible. It sounds like even
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: though he keeps threatening it, he keeps threatening all the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: time he's going to go into Iran because he's trying
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to get them to stand down. In the meantime, the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Speaker of the Parliament in Iran addressed the country, addressed
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the country and said that we should be prepared for war.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: So what is the solution? As I have previously said
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: in a speech, including in remarks in Parliament. Our path
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: is this. We must be prepared for war. We must fight.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: We must also negotiate in order to establish sustainable deterrence.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It leads you to believe that with 18 days to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: go before the midterms, they know about our midterms. They
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: talk about our midterms. They have tried to influence these midterms.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: They believe that weakening, I should say, weakening Donald Trump
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is a great strategy at this point. And if they
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: can affect these midterms and make it so he has
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to deal with impeachment over the next two years, they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: consider that a big win for them. If every bill
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that goes to the Senate, every bill that goes to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the House possibly, that has to deal with funding this war,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is going to be voted down. And If War Powers
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Act comes up again, it is very possible that he
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is going to be forced to end this war. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: if you don't think that the Iranians know that, you're
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not listening. That is all they seem to be talking
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: about these days. So I would keep your eye on
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Iran for the next two weeks. Something is going to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: happen there that we may have to respond to. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that is going to have an enormous effect on these
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: midterm elections. But all they seem to be talking about, Curtis,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: all they seem to be talking about are the midterm
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: elections and how they'll be able to influence them.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: But interesting that we have now two countries that claim
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: not to have interceptor missiles anymore, Patriot missiles provided by
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the United States. Saudi Arabia, the Houthis are firing at will.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: They're firing at major targets. He's saying, where are the
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: interceptor missiles? You guys got more money. than most countries combined.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: And then the Ukraine, we don't have any more interceptor missiles.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Israel is not having to fire their interceptor missiles because
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: obviously Nobody's attacking them now. So the president has said
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: we got plenty of interceptor missiles. That is a real
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Achilles heel for the Saudi Arabians because the Houthis, they
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: don't have two nickels to rub together. They got nothing
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: to lose. They keep just throwing in drones. They keep
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: throwing in cruise missiles. You know damn well Red China
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: is providing them with a lot of that technology. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: now Saudi Arabia, with all the wealth in the world,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: does not have interceptor missiles. They don't have a standing
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: army that's used to fighting. They're used to hiring mercenaries.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: The French have finally said they're going to send some
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: help to Saudi Arabia to prevent the Houthis from doing
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: more damage. President Trump does not want to get involved
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: in that mess. And he seems to be more focused,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: to be honest with you, with Ukraine, which I'm scratching
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: my head and saying, this is not a time to
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: pick a battle with Zelensky here and make it appear
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: that you're like pro-Putin.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: It's like, Man, Mr.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: President, you get into these personal beefs, and then all
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: of a sudden you're telling the Ukraine, okay, don't bomb
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: their refineries for diesel. Then he says we're going to
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: buy Russian diesel. Then all of a sudden he says
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: there's an energy truce. And nobody believes there's an energy truce,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and the Russians proved that. They just went to bombing
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the grid in the Ukraine. So, naturally, Zelensky said, well,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: if they're going to not abide by an energy truce that,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: by the way, I was never informed of, I'm going
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: back to bombing the refineries. It makes it seem like
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump does not have control of any of these situations.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: He really does.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's in a quagmire right now in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. If there wasn't a midterm election, we wouldn't
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: be in a quagmire. If there wasn't a midterm election,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: he'd be going in there with all hell breaking loose
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: because they deserve it at this point. But the theory
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that somehow Iran was going to give up before these
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: midterms is gone by the wayside. It went by the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: wayside about a month and a half ago, when we
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: realized without a shadow of a doubt that they knew
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: very well about the midterms and they wanted to influence
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the midterms in any way they could. And now they're
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: figuring out that if they can wreak havoc as much
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: as they can, and they're very weak right now, but
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: if they can wreak any havoc, that's going to have
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a huge influence on the midterms. When it comes to Ukraine, look,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: there's no heroes in that story. Zelensky's not Zelensky, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: here's a guy that was maybe one of the most
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: corrupt people in the world until he became a hero
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: because he was attacked by Russia. And you have Putin,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: who just lies constantly. I'm certain that he is gleeful
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that he made Donald Trump look bad. You know, Donald
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Trump didn't come out and just say that. I think
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it was Putin that told him, you know, I'll hold
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: off on that, and then tried to make him look
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: silly after that. So I'm I agree with you. Both
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of them are a problem right now for Donald Trump.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And except Zelensky, you know, listen, Zelensky lies all the time.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Zelensky also said that Starlink wasn't working and that we
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: can't track these missiles coming in.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: And then.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They came out and said, what are you talking about?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: The people at Starlink came out and said, what are
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you talking about? We've had it operating. I don't know
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: what you're complaining about. We could see them. We could
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: see missiles coming in. How come your people didn't see
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: those missiles coming in?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: The biggest problem for the president is a big deal
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: was made after the passing of Lindsey Graham, one of
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: the few times a bipartisan vote of Democrats and Republicans
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: coming together in honor of Lindsey Graham. to increase the
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: new rounds of sanctions against Putin and Russia. The deadline
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: for the implementation is October 18th. The president has given
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: every indication he doesn't have a stomach for it. And boy, that, wait,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: you said I'm signing this in honor of Lindsey Graham.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: If for him not to.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Put it through after it passed a bipartisan vote, very
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: few of those get through the House and the Senate.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: And again, it was in honor of the passing of
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham, who was pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin. There was no doubt
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: about that. In fact, he had just visited the Ukraine
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: before he came back and he passed away. So I
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: just think, look, the president's got a lot of stuff
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: on his plate. He can't keep picking fights. You know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: he's telling the Ukrainians, you should get rid of Zelensky.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Come on, that's not an issue now. Truthfully, if there
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: were an election, they might get rid of Zelensky. He's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: more popular in this country than he is there. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: there's another point to be made in all of this.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And this is a point that Trump makes over and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: over and over again. Yes, NATO has stepped up. A
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: couple of the countries, especially Germany, has stepped up. But
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: more have to step up. It doesn't always just have
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to be the United States. And I'm not even sure
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: why President Biden, who is the one that started this
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: whole thing and said, we'll just take care of this ourselves.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: NATO really had nothing to do with it at that point,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: made us believe that we're the only ones that can
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: save Ukraine. That's not supposed to happen that way. It
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is not supposed to happen that way. The other countries,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: if they are concerned about Ukraine, they should stop looking
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to us and they should step up.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: But that could have been dealt with after the midterm elections.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Trump has triggered all of this before the midterm elections.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: with the Iranian question hanging over his head, so many others.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I just think he doesn't know how to just take
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: his gloves, put it down to his side and let
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: it go for right now because the way it's going,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: so many of these issues are emerging and Because of
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: what Trump says.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe he is looking at the polls. Because when
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you look at poll after poll after poll, it's funny
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to me. It's unusual to me that Iran and Ukraine
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: are way down on the list. Way, way down on
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the list.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: Larry.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: That's shocking to me.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Everywhere I go, people say to me, Republicans and Democrats.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Why the hell did we get into this damn war
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: with Iran ever since then? You haven't had a Republican
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: say that.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Yes, I have. Oh, I don't talk to Republicans? I
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: don't talk to Republicans?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Republicans like you, maybe.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: The Republican candidate for mayor, two separate sections who knows
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: all the Republicans in the state of New York, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: you're telling me I'm not talking to Republicans? No, I'm
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: not saying that. I'm saying they're not telling you that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. They are cursing the fact.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: that we followed Bibi into this needless endless war. You're
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: using them to say what you want to say. You're
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: trying to form a crowd to support you. Where are
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: the rallies for the war, Larry? Where are the Republicans
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: rallying to support this war?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: When has there been a rally for a war?
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, for Iraq. You forget that? It was a rally
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: for Iraq. Yes, rallies everywhere. People took to the streets.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Come on, Larry.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Stop being in denial. No, I'm not in denial. I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: just really doubt that there are many Republicans, because I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: listen to them all the time. Well, you better start asking.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And I really do talk to them.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm telling you.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Who say, no, of course we wanted to end the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: greatest threat.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: To the world.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: This war is going to cause the loss in the
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: midterm elections.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Prices skyrocketed after that. But it's worth the price. Oh, yeah, right.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: If we get rid of their nuclear program.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: That is worth the price. Yeah, it's buried right now.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: You don't even have a car. It's buried right now.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Why do you care about gas? Pickaxe Mountain, right? Groceries,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: utility bills, mortgage rates. Do I have to give you
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: all the prices that are just skyrocketing because of this.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Stupid war in Iran? Half of the ones you mentioned
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: have nothing to do with the war.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Where are the rallies for the war?
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Have nothing to do with the war. Where are the
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Republicans saying, hey, yeah, war, war, war, war?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: If you would just make sense, it would help. Yeah, right.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We got us into that. Yeah,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: we go back to that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Anyway, up next, Billy Joel can't perform.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: This is awful news as we just keep praying that
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Billy Joel will make a full recovery from some fluid
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that was building up on his brain that had to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: be operated on. And he hasn't made a full recovery
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: just yet. He's, as you know, they've told him already
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he can't drive anymore. which is the reason he's selling
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: all of his motorcycles, 70 motorcycles he is selling. But
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in an interview, he also explained that a neurologist told
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: him that you can't perform live anymore, at least in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a big show, maybe at a piano, just in a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: room with a few people. But every time he does
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a show, it's like you're getting a concussion, is what
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: he said to him. Because it's so loud. A rock
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: show is going to be that loud. And he, in
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: this interview, said rock and roll made me deaf already.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So it's the lightning, the sound, the stress of the show,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the audience, the energy, the performance that all these years
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: just kept pounding away at my brain. And he again said,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: my doctor says it's like having a concussion. So it
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like he's going to be performing anymore. I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: don't know about what he can do in his studio,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: but you know what? We still have his songs to remember.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: What I'm hoping is that maybe he can do small
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: shows without the loud sounds, but he's saying even the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: audience clapping and yelling is a problem.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: It's almost like the equivalent, having had many concussions, a
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: combination of vertical and a concussion.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Where the sound causes, and my mom had vertigo, so
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: she explained how sounds just reverberate and you had to
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: turn everything off.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: It just, it bothered her enormously.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure everybody that's listening right now thinks the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: same thing I do. He just has to get better.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You know, we can listen to his songs on the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: radio and we can listen to them on records, but
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: he has to, he just has to get better.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: Hey, that was a great segment with the postal inspector.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: One point though, that you guys can follow up with
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: is the fact that the checks that people put in
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: the mail, when you write a check, you have to
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: use a gel pen. These thieves are looking for the
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: checks to wash them clean and rewrite them and cash
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: them out. Using gel pens prevents that from happening.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Well, Natalie, you have an update for us on that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: The sophistication Apparently of these banditos, these male bandits has
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: gone beyond that, correct?
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: I mean, according to some reports, it was true that
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: the gel pen does help deter the washing of the check.
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: But the criminals have evolved and no longer need to
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: wash checks or erase the ink anymore. to be able
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: to access your financial data. So they're using it beyond
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: just washing the checks.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Can they duplicate the checks now with AI? I don't know.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: I'm not 100% sure, but you know what? I would
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: not doubt that AI could probably help.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Them in their work.
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: Curtis, this one's for you.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Talk about Kathy Hochul as being a grifter.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Jill Foyle, the ultimate grifter.
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: Think about it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, there's no doubt. Guilfoyle was.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: A gold digger, but also a social climber.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: But she just knows so many things about Newsom.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I think we can suggest that he's going to be
• 16:01

• 17:06
  Speaker 11: children or the teachers he killed. Police have yet to
• 17:09

  Speaker 11: opted to pick up a gun and turn it on
• 17:14

• 17:37

• 18:56
  Speaker 1: We'll be giving away more tickets then. When we come back,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: just a horrible story. It has happened again. Another school shooting,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: this time in Oregon with five dead. And now new
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: information about who the shooter is. We'll share it with
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: you next. It happened again. You were praying that it
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: would never happen again, but it has happened one more time.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: A mass shooting at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: at 1259. It was one minute later. before the lunch
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: bell was going to go off to end lunch and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: resume classes. And a shooter came in, 16 years old,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and opened fire.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: They are taking an active shooter, call.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: It 615307 East Stone Creek Lane. Looks like the shooter
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: has been neutralized, possibly shot by a Yes, he was neutralized.
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: And we'll talk more about the man who shot him.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: It wasn't the police that got him. It was a bystander,
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: someone that happened to be walking nearby, a parent at
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: the school he's being identified by as CNN, who was armed.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: He went in and shot the 16-year-old and prevented anybody
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: else from dying, but not before he killed three children,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a 5-year-old, an 8-year-old, an 11-year-old, and a teacher. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I will tell you this. I mean, it's sickening, and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: there's not much to say about this until the investigation happens.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to be finding out a whole lot more
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: over the next several hours. But parents were notified that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: this was happening. And listen to what this parent said,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and this is a huge problem.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: I was at work.
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: I got an automated message from the school saying that
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: there was a lockdown, and we've had these before, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: they've never been serious, so I really didn't think anything
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: of it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to rethink their policies on preparing children
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: for this. They have to rethink it completely because the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: same alarm goes off that does when they practice these.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And they don't tell them it's a drill when they
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: practice it. So over and over and over again, when
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they do these several times a year in these schools,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: not only do they scare some of the kids and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: scare some of the parents, but they get to the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: point where they're immune to it. So when these alarms
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: go off and all of a sudden it's going to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: be a drill on an active shooter drill, they get
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: so used to it. This has happened like three times now.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: When an active shooter actually happens, they don't respond like
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: they should.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's almost like a fire alarm, fire alarm.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: You know, you had the fire alarm and then everybody
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: left the school, came back. I took advantage of just
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: going home the rest of the day. And I usually
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: did it towards the end of the day. But you're
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: absolutely right. The other thing is apparently he had a
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: pump-action shotgun that his mother had purchased, so he got
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: his hands on that. Not to suggest that there aren't
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: a lot of guns there. This is one of the
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: places I actually spent some time going from Portland over
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Mount Hood to Bend.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Total different part of the state.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: You know, we think Salem, Eugene, Portland, very liberal.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. You go over Mount Hood.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Man, you're in Western Oregon, Wasco County. A lot of
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: people have guns. You know, there are ranches out there, sheep, cows, sagebrush,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: small town mentality. A lot of people have the pickup trucks,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: you know, with the racks. And it's just good that
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: this parent was strapped. I don't know what weapon he had,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: but clearly he was able to save the day and
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: prevent even more casualties. And God only knows how many
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: more would have been seriously injured.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And this is going to start the debate again in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: this country. And I'm on the side of the people
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: that there should be someone with a gun at a school.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And this is proof positive that they could, he could have,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: if he was strapped and he was guarding this school,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: this would not have happened. He could have stopped this
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: guy almost immediately. As soon as he saw him, he
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: could have stopped him. And so people have been saying
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: across the country over and over and over again that
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: The one way to stop this is to get former
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: police officers to be at the schools with a weapon
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that are now guarding the schools. They're there on hand
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to stop this when this happens. And every single time
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: it happens, there is blowback to that by all the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: people that are anti-gun. No, no, no. You don't want
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to gun her to school. You don't want to gun
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: her to school at all.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Well, guess what?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: They're going to turn up. every once in a while
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: at his school. And if someone else there doesn't have
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a gun, guess what's going to happen? Three children are
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: going to die, and a teacher is going to die.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I used to be against this from the beginning,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: but it makes so much sense.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: To me now.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: No, it does.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: And just think, all the universities we've been talking about,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: although they're very large populations, they have armed police officers
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: of their own.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: You don't need that many, obviously, at a school.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: But one or two dedicated men or women who, as
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: you mentioned, are retirees, responsible gun handlers, just rather to
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: be safe than sorry.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And it's the only way. If you think about it,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: it's the only way. These drills don't work. There's nothing
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that's been tried ever since. Remember when there was a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: spate of these drills? when there was four or five
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: huge shootings.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Right after Columbine.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It happened all the way. There was some
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that had dozens and dozens of kids shot. Every single
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: time one of those happens, people say, and gun advocates
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: especially say, it's very easy to stop this. Just have
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: somebody with a gun. Have someone with a gun there.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And every single time there is blowback to that and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they're called gun nuts.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: No.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: How many kids have to die? how many kids have
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to die across the country before we get reasonable and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: realize guns aren't going anywhere. And if the bad guy's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: going to have a gun, if a crazy person could
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: have a gun and they're going to show up at
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a school to shoot our children, then I want someone
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: there to defend them. And if you can't do that,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you know what? I'll homeschool my kids. If you can't
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: do that. I know the colleges, the colleges that my
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: kids go to now, they have armed guards there.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know of any college I've been to, you know, I've,
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: done a lot of speaking engagements at different kinds of
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: college campuses, you're always introduced to the police of the campus,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: whether it's a junior college, four-year college, or major university,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: and they escort you around, and you see they're armed,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: and they have all the rights that an armed police
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: officer has in the nearby town.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine how much parents would feel so much
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: better if they showed up every morning And there was
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: this nice retired police officer that welcomed them and talked
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to them and said hi to the kids and all
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the kids got to know. How wonderful that would be.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: It is the answer. It makes so much sense. We've
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: tried everything else. Everything that we've been told, no, you
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: can't have a gun at the school. Let's try this.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Let's try this. Let's try these drills. Let's try locking
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the doors. Nothing, nothing else has worked. It's time to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: try this.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy, I turned myself off there. I just let
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: you rip off. I completely concur with you, Larry. But
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: up next, this is really the test for AOC to
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: see if she can get national support for a presidential
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: run in a non-urban area. She's touring northern Michigan, which
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: is not urban at all, with El-Sayed as he is
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: in a neck-and-neck race. with Congressman Rogers for the U.S.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Senate seat in Michigan, coming up next. Well, this is
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the big national litmus test for AOC, all-out crazy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: She's sitting on $ 17 million of money. She's running for
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: her House seat, but the Republican, unfortunately, nice guy, Albanian-American,
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: he doesn't have a chance. And she's testing the waters.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Should I run for president? Or should I run against
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer if he decides to run again? Or I'll
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: run if he decides not to. This will be a
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: big test. She's with El Said. They're on a bus tour.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: And not of lower Michigan, which is very urban. But
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: north of Jackson, north of Kalamazoo, north of Muskegon. Larry,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: I've been up there. It's a world apart from southern Michigan.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: I know exactly what you're talking about. And this is
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: why this man should not be a U.S.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Senator.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: If he really thought that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was going to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: help him in northern Michigan... He is insane. Just forget
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: about the Muslim Brotherhood and forget about Hassan Piker, the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: fact that he pals around with him. The fact that
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: he's going with AOC into some of the most conservative
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: areas of Michigan proves that he doesn't have the intelligence
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: to be a U.S. editor.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: And I got to believe that Team Rogers, neck and
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: neck in the polls— It's probably going to have some
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: meet and greet people who are going to be there
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: at their bus stops because it's publicized in advance. It's
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: not like you don't know where the bus is going.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: And going to give them grief. So you got El-Said,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: who has now been associated with the Muslim Brotherhood when
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: he's asked questions about that initial NBC interview where he said,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: that's an Islamophobic question.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: He refused to answer it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: And you got AOC coming from New York City. Into
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: an urban area where, yeah, everybody carries guns, they go fishing,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: and it's Trump land up there in northern Michigan.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: There is a long list of questions he will not answer.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: And you can't, you know, you ran, you ran, you
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: can't get away with that. You have to, if you
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: don't have an answer, you better come up with an answer.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: But he feels like he can keep saying, that's silly,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer that, I'm not going to
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: answer any questions about that. How many times have you
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: seen him on TV saying that?
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Which also leads you to believe that, The bad things
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: are true. If you don't have a denial, that means
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it's probably true.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: And remember, AOC crowed out like three weeks ago, you know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: if El-Sayed can win, anybody can win. Again, that's a
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: precursor to her running for national office.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: But the big gun is coming up in for her.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: for him, El-Sayed.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: And that is Barack Obama, who has a great following
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: in the African-American community. El-Sayed is not doing as well
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: in the polls amongst African-Americans as a normal Democrat would.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: But we'll see. You know, Obama brings that magic, boy.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: No, he's great. And what he'll do is he won't
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: go out and campaign with them. He'll have a big rally,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: just like Trump has been doing. But AOC, by the way,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: is already making news and saying stupid things. First up,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: very first up, what the Trump administration is doing is
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: attacking women's ability to get an education. He is trying
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: to stop them from going to college. That's a quote.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Larry, there are more women in universities now than men.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: No kidding.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: There's nobody trying to stop women to go to college
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: or get an education. It is the dumbest thing, but
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: that's just day one. Let's wait for day two and
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: day three. We can talk about it on Monday.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: I can just see those hunters up there with their
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: lumberjack shirts.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: Remember, you can bring your guns to the rallies. It's legal.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Remember when they surrounded Lansing, the state capital, and all
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: the legislators ran? Michigan, as liberal as it is, you
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: can carry your rifles around, your long guns.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I trust those gun owners. Those guys aren't
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: going to shoot somebody. It's on the streets of New
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: York are going to get shot.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Anyway, the talkback in the morning and winner of the
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Curtis Lee and Larry Menti in the morning t-shirt and
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: also the talkback of the weekend winner of the C-Crane
• 31:10
