I think it was a very smart thing for the president to do.
He looked uh honestly concerned.
I think there are simple things that can take place, but I stand by we better secure these schools like we would secure uh any other important building, a bank or uh Capitol Hill or wherever we need to secure a building where we have the capability, Haraldo, of doing it.
Agree, Sean.
I'm very proud of the president.
I'm totally in sync with him on this.
You know, we had our dinner on uh Saturday night at Mar-a-Lago, and I broached the idea of the juvenile assault weapons ban.
It was something the president had not pondered up until that moment, but he was so deeply shaken by what he saw when he visited the hospital and saw these kids all torn up, uh, that he made it part of his program along with enhanced background checks, along with uh, you know, people on the no fly list not getting uh access to firearms.
Uh I think that he is really on the verge of something very uh important, a pioneering move, a lot like uh, you know, you wouldn't expect it of uh President Trump.
He's such an advocate of the second amendment, but like Nixon going to China, uh, the unexpected man is the one who's gonna make history here.
And I think uh Sean, it's clear that he endorses your plan uh that I endorse as well, uh hardening these schools to make them at least as safe as uh, you know, a jeweler's for example.
What do you make of uh all the attacks?
You know, calling uh Dana Lash a murderer and burn her during this town hall, the idea that some people that had views CNN didn't want didn't get on the program.
And I think the broader issue, Jonathan Gillam, is the police were called to see this guy thirty-nine times.
The FBI got two very distinct warnings about this guy.
Everything that we wanted or needed to know about him was on social media.
And again, we dropped the ball in a spectacular way.
This is not see something, hear something, uh hear something, say something.
This is hear something, we said something, and nobody listened.
Yeah, it's been a complete failure on the part of this police department's ability to uh forward think what somebody who can continuously has uh called of odd behavior uh could be, you know, possibly could do.
I think it's a failure on uh the individual uh is a part of the individual or the FBI that dropped the ball about the YouTube uh video.
And uh I gotta be honest with you.
I'm I'm disagreeing with Geraldo on this because I look we can do all the weapons bans that we want.
We can look at juvenile.
I I've been shooting a gun since I was five years old.
And we can look at all these ways to to limit this or limit that.
What I'm seeing is a complete failure already is the president's ability, and you know, I'm a supporter of President Trump, but uh but I'm looking at a at a man.
The reason I voted on him and supported on him and uh supported him and talked about him so much before the election is because he's operationally minded.
And he he came in, for instance, with this uh skating rink in New York.
He came in, saw that there was a problem, and quickly got on board and brought in subject matter experts, I think he said from Miami, uh, to look at this act I think he got under budget and under time and he got it done.
What I'm seeing now is typical government speed, which we should have immediately reacted because there could be another shooting tomorrow, today.
We need to start looking at the best way to do it, the cheapest way to do it, and let's just get it done.
Let's get people in the schools that can protect it.
Let's lock this through threat assessments, let's lock the schools down.
If if George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey and these people want to donate money for five hundred thousand dollars, he could have bought fifty six schools, two metal detectors.
So these celebrities need to think about that as well.
We need to get on board and start doing this, 'cause so far it's been a week and it's been a complete failure.
We've got nothing done to secure the schools.
We've always just talked about, you know, let's ban this, let's not.
But but the listening session yesterday, I thought the number of people in their own way, their own version, Geraldo supported what you and I support, which is you gotta have every school with a full set uh full uh systemic comprehensive security markup.
We've got to go in and see what where the security vulnerabilities are.
Then you don't get into any school without the proper identification.
Doors can't be opened unless, of course, there's security at those doors.
And then hire doors.
Yeah, exactly.
Then hire enough retired policemen, retired military, armed so that they can protect in in case of any situation.
I'm uh I I don't know how many teachers are gonna actually want to carry uh a gun in their classroom, so I think to have him train professionals to me would be a better idea because let the teachers do what their job is to teach.
Or the coach or an administrator or a security guard.
Why not have a security guard in your in your budget and ID uh and uh one good gun uh uh per some scientifically derived number of students?
I disagree with Jonathan.
You already have look, uh you you're talking about the systemic failures of the FBI in terms of checking uh uh, you know, the leads they had and the local cops in terms of the 39 calls they had.
But what about the response of the Broward deputies?
And I love that department.
I worked uh, you know, I did my pioneering American advice that led to the cops program on TV with the Broward sheriffs, but they took an awfully long time to get into that building, even though they were on the property.
You know, uh you've got to have uh people who are much more responsive, much more uh hip and aware of the fact that these kids are so precious.
But Jonathan, my God, uh if you are you in favor of 18, 19, 20 year olds with uh emotional problems going out and getting all liquored up.
If you're not if you if you're in favor of uh kids not drinking until they're 21, then what for God's sake is wrong with banning uh assault type weapons for uh kids when they're in this uh evolving emotional state when they have all these problems, uh, you know, kids are suicidal, this one broke off with this one, this one wrote something awful in my yearbook.
Uh, let them grow up before they can buy uh, you know, a uh weapon that can fire uh you know 30 rounds in in ten seconds.
I think that it's uh it's time to come to grips with the fact that the president has moved off his comfort zone.
He sees that this may not solve the problem, but it's a first step, and it certainly would have stopped this Nicholas Cruz from buying the AR-15 that he used to kill these people.
Not necessarily.
I mean, look, when I was in the FBI, we did uh gun buys every day.
You can get guns faster.
Right now, I could go out in New York City and get a gun illegally faster than I could if I tried to get one legally.
They're everywhere.
That may be true, but you've got to do something.
And to make the uh to make the uh the good, the victim, you know, the perfect victim of the it's ridiculous.
You're doing something.
You've got to take it.
I'm not disagreeing with you on this.
What I'm saying is that, you know, for instance, over in Africa, instead of curing malaria by going and killing mosquitoes, they go out and hand out mosquito nets, and it does nothing to stop people from getting malaria.
It's just a band-aid.
And you know, if we really want to get into this, we need to start having regulations on video games, on movies from from uh glorifying rape and and killing.
I mean, that's where a lot of this stuff is is is coming from.
We should have, you know, there's all kinds of stuff we could do with the mental health care industry.
But the fact is, what is aggravating me is that the things that can be done to make the school safer right this instant are not being done.
And in this this discussion that they had with the families, I understand it's a great uh healing thing, it's a great PR thing.
You need to have that with subject matter experts such as myself who would do this for free.
We're gonna spend millions, possibly billions of the people.
The idea is we do all that.
That's what President Trump has so admirably laid out.
We've done it enough.
Oh, woe is us, and you're throwing up your hands, and because you can't fix it with one cell swoop, you don't do anything.
What Trump has said is he's not gonna do that anymore.
From now on, he's gonna try.
He's gonna try his best.
He's gonna do this, he's gonna do that, he's gonna do this, he's gonna do that.
But I think we all agree one thing.
If we do what what we agree on, these kids will be safe.
We can secure every school in America.
