Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Thanks Scott Shannon. Thanks to all of you
for being with us. Write down our toll free telephone
number if you want to be a part of the program.
It's eight hundred nine four one Sean if you want
to join us. We had a situation in Georgia today.
Our prayers are with the people down there. At least
five soldiers injured after a US Army sergeant open fired
(00:25):
at Fort Stewart in Georgia. The suspect identified as a
male US Army sergeant, according to a US official confirming
of Fox News. His name has not been released. We
expect that we'll have more information within the hour, but
the bottom line is the soldiers were shot in the
second Armored Brigade Combat Team area, according to a social
(00:49):
media post from the US Army created on site. Moved
to Win Army Community Hospital. According to Fort Stewart, President
Trump has been briefed on the end. White House Press
Secretary Caroline Levitt wrote on social media. Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Christy nom also briefed. Obviously,
(01:12):
Governor Kemp is involved as well. Anyway, five soldiers now
injured and our prayers are with all of them as
of now, thankfully we don't have any deaths, and hoping
that these injured injuries are not going to be, you know,
(01:34):
lifelong injuries. We also expect some point in the second
hour of the program today that Apple CEO Tim Cook
will join President Trump and at an event at the
White House calling and basically putting forward a new one
(01:55):
hundred billion dollar investment commitment. And that now brings their
total that they are committed to spending over the next
four years six hundred billion dollars. And that is a huge,
huge amount of money. Now this is factored into the
number I keep giving out, which is gonna we now
(02:18):
have commitments of anywhere from twelve to fifteen trillion dollars
in manufacturing in this country. That includes Apple. Now, most
of Apple products have historically been made in China, made abroad,
and then brought into the country. And they're going to
build this massive manufacturing center in the great state of
(02:41):
Texas and anyway. It shows that they are serious about
their commitment to their manufacturing program. Now, the President also
is getting commitments from multiple automobile manufacturers. They're going to
build their autos here in America. Finally, we are going
to bring back pharmaceutical manufacturing to this country. We have
(03:04):
been far too reliant on other countries for medicines that
are critical to you know, our health in this country.
And it's never made any sense to me at all.
Where's the story, Linda, I was telling you about this earlier.
Have it of my thing here. There's a global outbreak
(03:27):
right now and a lot of fear that is surging.
And I guess after COVID most people probably a COVID
PTSD as a virus in China now has been prompting
quarantines and thousands of new cases now being reported, and
Chinese officials have imposed COVID like quarantines in parts of
(03:51):
the country because of a virus that continues to surge.
There more than seven thousand infections reported. And there's one
province's well, Guangdong. I'm sure I'm not pronouncing it properly.
Up forgive me. It's not done on purpose. And anyway,
long story short, it's prompting authorities to isolate patients in
(04:13):
hospital wards covered with mosquito nets. They are required to
remain there for a week at least until they test
negative if sooner. No deaths have been reported. The Center
for Disease Control and Prevention has issued what is a
Level two travel advisory to this particular province, urging Americans
(04:33):
to take extra precautions when visiting the region. You know,
this is why, you know, getting to the origins of
COVID is so critical and important, because we know that
the NIH gave money to the Eco Health Alliance. We
know that when they first discovered that COVID was in America,
(04:55):
that they had every belief that it came from NIH taxpayer.
They knew that the money the Eco Health Alliance was
investing in this Wuhan virology lab. They knew that gain
of function research took place there, They knew that coronavirus
research took place there. And then they purposely went out
(05:17):
and lied. And and this is in ran Paul's book.
All of the emails, all of the evidence points to
the fact that they were in a flurry of activity
and text messaging and emailing to prevent the American people
from finding out the truth. And then they put out
a false narrative about what markets may maybe that that
(05:39):
may be responsible for all of this, and it never was.
And then of course they never you know, they I
don't blame them for coming up with the vaccines. However,
they were always experimental they and we didn't put enough
(06:00):
emphasis on that. And then everybody was pushing and demanding
and they put these mandates out there that everybody get
the vaccine, and meanwhile it was still in the experimental stage.
And then when you talk to the doctor that came
up with the m RNA technology, doctor Robert Malone's name,
we've had him on the program many times. Without his
(06:23):
without his discovery and advancement, there wouldn't have been a
Pisa or Maderner or Astrozenica m RNA vaccine that would
ever have been produced. And rather than listen to the
creator of the technology, who was saying very specifically that
(06:45):
it's untested. However, seeing the damage that is being done
to older people and people with comorbidities and pre existing conditions,
he would only recommend it and again mandate it for
people over sixty five or fit into one of those categories.
(07:06):
And he said, certainly not young children to young children
were never dying from this. And there's been a whole
series of articles written about the aftermath that people have
residual symptoms not from COVID, but from the vaccine that
(07:27):
they took, which was experimental the whole time, you know,
for example myocarditis that is but one example. And then
of course they anybody that came up with any possible
treatment if you got COVID, like hydroxy chloroquin. There's been
numerous studies now that have come out that said, taken
early hydroxy chloroquin did in fact mitigate simp. Then the
(07:55):
amount of pressure that was being put on people, well,
first of all, yeah, depending where you worked, most employers,
you know, were pressured to mandate that their employees got
the shot or else they were going to lose their job.
We saw that happen with the US military. Is insane. Anyway,
we'll keep our eye on this virus. Nobody's died yet,
(08:17):
so I don't want people to get too freaked out
by all of it. The good news on this press
conference with Tim Cook today, it is and this is
where I have a lot of confidence, or a high
degree of confidence in how quickly our economy can not
only recover but prosper and we could really have a
(08:41):
boom in our economy only because we've never had all
of these foundational pieces in place. The way we do now,
at least not in my lifetime. And what do I
mean by that?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I really love the fact that Apple is going to
produce a lot of their products and they're going to
build a big manufacturing center in Texas. That's going to
be high paying career jobs for a lot of people
in Texas. I think that's great on top of the
people that build it. One thing that gets a very
little attention in the One Big Beautiful Bill for manufacturers
(09:19):
is they get what's called bonus depreciation, meaning that if
they build out their facilities, it will incentivize them to
do it faster. They get to deduct in year one,
meaning the year that they build the facility the entire
cost of building the facility, which is a massive tax
incentive for them to do it expeditiously, which means that
(09:42):
it will get into the bloodstream of the economy that
much faster, and that'll create the high paying career jobs.
And that's for automobile manufacturers. That's for what Apple is doing. Similarly,
you know, bringing back pharmaceutical manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing,
(10:02):
rare earth mining that will take place, and also you
have to factor in the President's commitment towards energy dominance,
and couple that with the European Union deal where they
have committed to seven hundred and fifty billion dollars in
purchasing American energy. Now, all of these, all of these
(10:26):
various manufacturing items and becoming energy dominant, all of which
combined are great for national security. I mean, communications is key.
Building apple products here is good for national security. Building
out our own pharmaceutical factories and manufacturing centers, that's good.
(10:46):
That we're not going to be dependent any longer on
China for pharmaceuticals. Building our semiconductor chips here, that's good
because we've been far too reliant on countries like Taiwana
and other and we should be building it here. Creating
American cars here in this country. Wow, we're going to
(11:09):
revitalize the auto industry and I'm looking forward to those
high paying career jobs. And then if you add to
that the largest tax cut in American history. And if
you add to that, no tax on tips, no tax
on overtime, no tax on social security or limiting taxes
on all, well, that's looking out for the elderly, and
(11:32):
that's looking out for hard working men and women. They
are the backbone of any society. That's certainly the backbone
of this society building out energy dominance that's good for
national security as well, because it is the lifeblood of
the world's economy. And we're not gonna we will no
longer be allowing European nations to fund Vladimir Putin's war machinet.
(11:54):
I mean, Russia's been getting rich off Western European purchasing
of their energy, and how stupid of them to be
reliant on Vladimir Putin, especially in light of what he's
been doing in Ukraine and how he's been taking advantage
of of all of these Western European countries. They themselves
(12:15):
have been funding this war by helping to make Putin rich.
You know, Similarly, Joe Biden turning a blind eye towards
the sanctions with Iran, all that funded their number one
state sponsor of terrorist status because that provided the monies
to produce the weapons that they would fund and give
(12:36):
to the Hamas and Habalah Islamic Jihad and the Huti rebels,
and of course the ballistic missiles they were building out themselves.
It is amazing to me that all of these great
things are happening economically. It is amazing that the President's
been able to control the borders. It's amazing that we
(12:58):
are deporting as quickly as possible all of these unvetted Biden,
Harris may orc Is, the illegals. It is amazing to
me that we took out Iranian nuclear sites, which I
believe was a clear and present danger to the United
States and to Israel. And then I look at some
(13:18):
commentary I've really I'm becoming more and more cynical of
those people that say that they are maga Conservatives or
maga Republicans or Trump supporters, and all they seem to
want to do is find the one, one difference that
(13:42):
they have with Donald Trump and ignore all the transformational
and consequential things that he is doing. And I figured
out why everybody on social media. They want to draw
attention to themselves. They want clicks, they want views, they
want attention, and if it means that they have to
(14:06):
say something more and more outrageous to get that attention,
they're going to do it. And instead of seeing, you know,
I like to look at things from you know, forty
thousand feet above, is anyone president going to be perfect. No,
but you know, abolishing the Department of Education, biggest tax
cuts in history, building a border walk, exporting criminal illegals,
(14:29):
twelve to fifteen trillion dollars in investment, looking out for
working men and women, you know, fighting back, and in
terms of law and order, safety, security, refunding the police,
building out the next generation of weaponry. And you know then,
you know, some of the loudest voices lately are people
that claim to be Trump supporters, and I find their
(14:51):
criticisms in most cases beyond petty. Well, this is why
we don't like Donald Trump. This is the best presidency
you're all ever going to get in your lifetime. I
can promise you that. And if you're expecting perfection, you're dreaming.
Think about where you were back on January nineteenth of
(15:12):
this year. All right, we mentioned to you earlier this
shooting that took place in Georgia. Thankfully nobody was killed.
We had a number of injuries. Oh sorry, I hadn't
been done. I get that five soldiers were injured. Shoot
opened fire at Fort Stewart in Georgia. They have now
(15:38):
identified this individual number one and number two. What we're
learning about this guy is he's been identified. I can't
Cornelius Radford, Okay, prisoner. Look, I don't know what the
penalty is going to be. But people could have died
(15:58):
today and these and now inn stable condition, and the
five people that have been shot in the hospital, and
it was people that were at Fort Stewart that actually
saved lives. Here, let's just dip into the press conference
that's ongoing.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining
us this morning. Shortly before eleven o'clock, an active duty
soldier assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia, shot and wounded five
of his fellow soldiers here on Fort Stewart. Thankfully, all
are in stable condition and all are expected to recover.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The alleged shooter is in custody.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
We re established security, I have lifted all lockdown measures
on Fort Stewart and there is currently no threat to
the local community. I'd like to recognize and thank our Army,
law enforcement and medical personnel, and our partners from local, state,
and federal law enforcement and emergency services for their quick
response and support. I would also like to thank the
(17:06):
brave soldiers who immediately intervened and subined and subdued the shooter.
These soldiers, without a doubt, prevented further casualties. Our wounded
soldiers were initially evacuated to win Army Community Hospital right
here on Fort Stewart. All arrived in stable condition, and
three of the five required surgical intervention. Two have been
(17:29):
transported to Memorial Hospital in Savannah, Georgia for additional care.
We have identified the alleged shooter as Sergeant Cornelius Radford,
an automated logistics sergeant assigned to second Brigade Combat Team.
Sergeant Radford has not previously deployed to combat. Sergeant Radford
has been interviewed by the Army Criminal Investigation Division and
(17:53):
is currently in pre trial confinement awaiting a charging decision
by the Office of the Special Trial Council.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Right now, our.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Primary focus is first on caring for injured soldiers and
their families and also supporting the soldiers of the Spartan Brigade.
All of the families of the victims have been notified
and we're wrapping our arms around them and ensuring we
provide them all the support that we can. Before I
take questions, I want to remind you that this is
an ongoing investigation, and we're still gathering questions and ladies
(18:25):
and gentlemen, I'll now take your questions those.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Can you give us a what unit he was a
sign coast and how long is you pression on men that?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, he is assigned to one of our sustainment units
here in second Brigade Combat Team at Fort Stewart, and
I will have to confirm how long he served with us.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yes, sir, be associated pressed as best you can know,
and it's as broadcast here.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
This happens, what.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Happened, shooting and ort to victims, supportinates from the sergeants
are going to making people were in the yeah, right
right now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's premature and we're gathering a lot of the information.
What we know is this soldier. The shooting occurred at
the soldier's place of work. It did involve his co workers.
We're still not certain about the motivations. But again he's
been interviewed by Army investigators.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And we believe will gain more information here shortly. Yes, ma'am,
the name six times an no man.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
We don't have any reason to believe it had anything
to do with with a training event other than that,
I can't I can't state the motivations for this soldier.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
We've heard that the shooter and from jackon Mill's corn,
are you that conformed that we all sard? Did he
maybe arrested for du line recently?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, at this point, I can't confirm where he's from.
We can follow up on that. I do believe he
was arrested locally for a DUI that was unknown to
his chain of command until the event occurred and we
and we started looking into the law enforcement database.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Robin Heel from the current, can you come up whether
or not that was.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
A military weapon or whether it is the person we
hit the person's wrong on day?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yes, ma'am, I can conser.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I can confirm it was not a military weapon, and
we believe it was a personal handgun.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, sir, whether there's me or you know the security
that you personal. Yeah, I'm very confident in this.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
In the security of this installation, we've got a great
partnership with local law enforcement. As you can see here
at our gates, we have armed guards in protective equipment.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This one's a bit difficult.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
And we're going to have to determine how he was
able to get a handgun to his place of place
of duty, elly klaws for.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Jack that has the suspect at eating fire, disciplinarian or
behavioral issues one.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Day, No, ma'am, not that we're aware of. But again
it's it's early in the investigation. But not that I'm
currently aware of.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Sedication that cannot come to opposity helps the rest of
the witness.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I don't have the details on that, but I know
that his soldiers in the area that witnessed the shooting
immediately and without hesitation tackled. The soldiers subdued him. That
allowed law enforcement to then take him into custody, and.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
We have time for a more question.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I know that you can't speak to the motivation, but
you know, if this turned out to be some situation
where somebody had extremes believes or maybe pastime as a
terrorist attack, I mean, how does that change the basis
response to the basis investigation.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, currently we have no reason to believe any of
that is the case.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
However, we continually continuously assess the threat environment both in
the immediate area and our cross our army and d
OD installations, and we.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Will address the threat level accordingly. We have the rank
of the shooter.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yes, sir, he was a sergeant, Ladies and gentlemen, thank
you for your question, and again thanks to the local responders.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Anyway, our prayers are with the families of those that
have been injured here. At least five soldiers injured a
shoot or open fire at Fort Stewart in Georgia. All unstable,
condition modive, still a little bit unclear. We get more details,
we will pass them on to you. Something happened that
I found pretty remarkable, Charles Gasparino if Fox Business wrote
(22:25):
about this in the New York Post today JP Morgan
and Bank of America quote de banked President Trump over
the issue of January six because of pressure from the
Biden administration, and they're banking regulators and the Federal Reserve
(22:46):
according to people with direct knowledge of the matter tell
on the Post. His report goes on the exact reason
for Trump and his tens of millions of dollars in
holdings being kicked off JP Morgan's banking platform and then
denied access to Bank of America services as yet to
be reported, but sources at the bank, the largest and
(23:08):
second largest in the US in terms of assets, confirm
the case them from the controversy surrounding President Trump's actions,
but more importantly from threats from Biden's bank regulators that
banking the former president's money put them in danger of
(23:29):
quote falling a foul of rules that prohibit financial institutions
from doing business with individuals and companies that present a
reputational risk. This is now vindictive the Biden family could
be People at the banks tell The New York Post
(23:50):
that Biden's banking cops at the Office of the Controller
of the Currency and the FDIC and the Federal Reserve
often use the nebulous nature of the edict to go
beyond debanking money from money launderers and drunk kingpins, and
they were pressured to include Donald Trump. Now, Trump himself
(24:13):
revealed that he was debanked when he was on CNBC.
I guess earlier in the week quote, I had hundreds
of millions, many many accounts loaded up with cash. I
was loaded up with cash. And they told me, I'm sorry, sir,
we can't have you. You have twenty days to get
the money out. And he said, you have to be
kidding me. I've been with you for thirty five forty years.
(24:35):
Then he was denied services by the Bank of America. Now,
during the interview, He named both JP Morgan CEO Jamie
Diamond and Brian moynihan, a Bank of America, stating both
refused to come to his defense. He said, moynihan was
kissing my ass when I was president, and when I
called him after I was president to deposit a billion
(24:57):
dollars plus and a lot of other things. More importantly,
to open accounts, which banks always like, he said, we
can't do it.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Did you hear about this DOZE stafford, the one that
became somewhat infamous or famous known as quote big Balls,
That's what the name they gave him. He's only nineteen
years old. This kid must be brilliant anyway. Formerly worked
at DOGE before transferring to the Social Security Administration. But
according to former DOZE chief Elon Musk, this guy was
(25:33):
attacked trying to assist a woman who was in the
initial was the initial target of a gang of about
a dozen young men. No, this guy went to this
woman's defense. Kind of sounds a lot like what happened
in Cincinnati. Musk posted that a gang of about a
dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her
car at night in DC. A DOZE team member saw
(25:56):
what was happening. Ran to defend her was severely and
we showed the images on TV last night. I mean,
this guy got a brutal, brutal beating. It was terrible. Anyway,
President Trump on Monday threatened to federalize DC, calling for
local miners and gang members over the age of fourteen
(26:16):
to be prosecuted as adults. After this incident happened. By
the way, President Trump did sign the executive order establishing
a task force for the twenty twenty eight Olympic Games
in Los Angeles, and he said, you know, what a
great honor that that will be. President Trump now getting
(26:38):
tougher and tougher with Vladimir Putin. Steve Whitkoff, the President's
Special envoy, his meeting with Putin for last minute peace talks.
There's an announcement that there may be a meeting between
Putin and Trump themselves to see if they can maybe
once and for all and finally put an end to
this ridiculous conflict that's been going on with you Ukraine.
(27:02):
You know, Vladimir Putin is what he is, and I
know that there are people, I don't know why, there
are some that interpret Donald Trump's no forever wars or
Donald Trump's efforts to establish peace both in the Middle
East and in Europe as somehow America is being you know,
(27:25):
America first means or equals isolationism, because it does not.
Donald Trump has the Trump doctorate, the legacy. Media has
never defined it. I'll gladly define it for you because
we watch his actions. Yes, the President believes very strongly
America should not get it embroiled in these forever wars,
(27:48):
and I tend to agree with him. We can't do
what we did in Iraq. First of all, military technology,
starting with drones and moving forward from there, is it
advancing at the speed of light. That's why we have
to be on the cutting edge of the next generation
of weaponry. I am beyond convinced. I know it's a
(28:10):
reality that future wars are not going to be fought
traditionally like they have been in battlefields, although there will
always probably be a need for human intelligence, although that
may change with technology also, but you know, hypersonic missiles
and drone technology and even robots for crying out loud,
(28:30):
I mean they're looking at robots soldiers that are being
built out, especially now by the Chinese Communist Chinese army.
But we need a robust military. But the point is
why some are interpreting Donald Trump as an isolation. This
makes no sense to me. He's the guy that beat
the Isis Caliphate. He's the guy that took out Solmani.
(28:53):
He's the guy that beat bag Daddy and his associates.
He's the guy that dropped the mother of all bombs
in Afghanistan. Yes, and keeping with his philosophy and his
principles and his doctrine of no forever wars, he did
all of that and he didn't start a forever war.
He's been trying to end wars. And because you know,
(29:15):
Vladimir Putin has been so Look, Putin is a thug
and a dictator. He just is is Thelensky perfect, far
from it. But this really happened on Biden's watch, and
you know, the crimea annexation took place with Biden and Obama.
(29:38):
He's just trying to put out the fire in the
mess that they built there. And because Putin has been
so reluctant and targeting innocent civilians, they are selling weapons
to Ukraine so they can defend their country. Hopefully they'll
come to a peaceful settlement. Hopefully this can end. Hopefully
the dying will stop. That's in keeping with the Trump doctrine.
All right, Thanks Scott Shannon. Thanks to all of you
for being with us. Write down our toll free telephone
number if you want to be a part of the program.
It's eight hundred nine four one Sean if you want
to join us. We had a situation in Georgia today.
Our prayers are with the people down there. At least
five soldiers injured after a US Army sergeant open fired
(00:25):
at Fort Stewart in Georgia. The suspect identified as a
male US Army sergeant, according to a US official confirming
of Fox News. His name has not been released. We
expect that we'll have more information within the hour, but
the bottom line is the soldiers were shot in the
second Armored Brigade Combat Team area, according to a social
(00:49):
media post from the US Army created on site. Moved
to Win Army Community Hospital. According to Fort Stewart, President
Trump has been briefed on the end. White House Press
Secretary Caroline Levitt wrote on social media. Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Christy nom also briefed. Obviously,
(01:12):
Governor Kemp is involved as well. Anyway, five soldiers now
injured and our prayers are with all of them as
of now, thankfully we don't have any deaths, and hoping
that these injured injuries are not going to be, you know,
(01:34):
lifelong injuries. We also expect some point in the second
hour of the program today that Apple CEO Tim Cook
will join President Trump and at an event at the
White House calling and basically putting forward a new one
(01:55):
hundred billion dollar investment commitment. And that now brings their
total that they are committed to spending over the next
four years six hundred billion dollars. And that is a huge,
huge amount of money. Now this is factored into the
number I keep giving out, which is gonna we now
(02:18):
have commitments of anywhere from twelve to fifteen trillion dollars
in manufacturing in this country. That includes Apple. Now, most
of Apple products have historically been made in China, made abroad,
and then brought into the country. And they're going to
build this massive manufacturing center in the great state of
(02:41):
Texas and anyway. It shows that they are serious about
their commitment to their manufacturing program. Now, the President also
is getting commitments from multiple automobile manufacturers. They're going to
build their autos here in America. Finally, we are going
to bring back pharmaceutical manufacturing to this country. We have
(03:04):
been far too reliant on other countries for medicines that
are critical to you know, our health in this country.
And it's never made any sense to me at all.
Where's the story, Linda, I was telling you about this earlier.
Have it of my thing here. There's a global outbreak
(03:27):
right now and a lot of fear that is surging.
And I guess after COVID most people probably a COVID
PTSD as a virus in China now has been prompting
quarantines and thousands of new cases now being reported, and
Chinese officials have imposed COVID like quarantines in parts of
(03:51):
the country because of a virus that continues to surge.
There more than seven thousand infections reported. And there's one
province's well, Guangdong. I'm sure I'm not pronouncing it properly.
Up forgive me. It's not done on purpose. And anyway,
long story short, it's prompting authorities to isolate patients in
(04:13):
hospital wards covered with mosquito nets. They are required to
remain there for a week at least until they test
negative if sooner. No deaths have been reported. The Center
for Disease Control and Prevention has issued what is a
Level two travel advisory to this particular province, urging Americans
(04:33):
to take extra precautions when visiting the region. You know,
this is why, you know, getting to the origins of
COVID is so critical and important, because we know that
the NIH gave money to the Eco Health Alliance. We
know that when they first discovered that COVID was in America,
(04:55):
that they had every belief that it came from NIH taxpayer.
They knew that the money the Eco Health Alliance was
investing in this Wuhan virology lab. They knew that gain
of function research took place there, They knew that coronavirus
research took place there. And then they purposely went out
(05:17):
and lied. And and this is in ran Paul's book.
All of the emails, all of the evidence points to
the fact that they were in a flurry of activity
and text messaging and emailing to prevent the American people
from finding out the truth. And then they put out
a false narrative about what markets may maybe that that
(05:39):
may be responsible for all of this, and it never was.
And then of course they never you know, they I
don't blame them for coming up with the vaccines. However,
they were always experimental they and we didn't put enough
(06:00):
emphasis on that. And then everybody was pushing and demanding
and they put these mandates out there that everybody get
the vaccine, and meanwhile it was still in the experimental stage.
And then when you talk to the doctor that came
up with the m RNA technology, doctor Robert Malone's name,
we've had him on the program many times. Without his
(06:23):
without his discovery and advancement, there wouldn't have been a
Pisa or Maderner or Astrozenica m RNA vaccine that would
ever have been produced. And rather than listen to the
creator of the technology, who was saying very specifically that
(06:45):
it's untested. However, seeing the damage that is being done
to older people and people with comorbidities and pre existing conditions,
he would only recommend it and again mandate it for
people over sixty five or fit into one of those categories.
(07:06):
And he said, certainly not young children to young children
were never dying from this. And there's been a whole
series of articles written about the aftermath that people have
residual symptoms not from COVID, but from the vaccine that
(07:27):
they took, which was experimental the whole time, you know,
for example myocarditis that is but one example. And then
of course they anybody that came up with any possible
treatment if you got COVID, like hydroxy chloroquin. There's been
numerous studies now that have come out that said, taken
early hydroxy chloroquin did in fact mitigate simp. Then the
(07:55):
amount of pressure that was being put on people, well,
first of all, yeah, depending where you worked, most employers,
you know, were pressured to mandate that their employees got
the shot or else they were going to lose their job.
We saw that happen with the US military. Is insane. Anyway,
we'll keep our eye on this virus. Nobody's died yet,
(08:17):
so I don't want people to get too freaked out
by all of it. The good news on this press
conference with Tim Cook today, it is and this is
where I have a lot of confidence, or a high
degree of confidence in how quickly our economy can not
only recover but prosper and we could really have a
(08:41):
boom in our economy only because we've never had all
of these foundational pieces in place. The way we do now,
at least not in my lifetime. And what do I
mean by that?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I really love the fact that Apple is going to
produce a lot of their products and they're going to
build a big manufacturing center in Texas. That's going to
be high paying career jobs for a lot of people
in Texas. I think that's great on top of the
people that build it. One thing that gets a very
little attention in the One Big Beautiful Bill for manufacturers
(09:19):
is they get what's called bonus depreciation, meaning that if
they build out their facilities, it will incentivize them to
do it faster. They get to deduct in year one,
meaning the year that they build the facility the entire
cost of building the facility, which is a massive tax
incentive for them to do it expeditiously, which means that
(09:42):
it will get into the bloodstream of the economy that
much faster, and that'll create the high paying career jobs.
And that's for automobile manufacturers. That's for what Apple is doing. Similarly,
you know, bringing back pharmaceutical manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing,
(10:02):
rare earth mining that will take place, and also you
have to factor in the President's commitment towards energy dominance,
and couple that with the European Union deal where they
have committed to seven hundred and fifty billion dollars in
purchasing American energy. Now, all of these, all of these
(10:26):
various manufacturing items and becoming energy dominant, all of which
combined are great for national security. I mean, communications is key.
Building apple products here is good for national security. Building
out our own pharmaceutical factories and manufacturing centers, that's good.
(10:46):
That we're not going to be dependent any longer on
China for pharmaceuticals. Building our semiconductor chips here, that's good
because we've been far too reliant on countries like Taiwana
and other and we should be building it here. Creating
American cars here in this country. Wow, we're going to
(11:09):
revitalize the auto industry and I'm looking forward to those
high paying career jobs. And then if you add to
that the largest tax cut in American history. And if
you add to that, no tax on tips, no tax
on overtime, no tax on social security or limiting taxes
on all, well, that's looking out for the elderly, and
(11:32):
that's looking out for hard working men and women. They
are the backbone of any society. That's certainly the backbone
of this society building out energy dominance that's good for
national security as well, because it is the lifeblood of
the world's economy. And we're not gonna we will no
longer be allowing European nations to fund Vladimir Putin's war machinet.
(11:54):
I mean, Russia's been getting rich off Western European purchasing
of their energy, and how stupid of them to be
reliant on Vladimir Putin, especially in light of what he's
been doing in Ukraine and how he's been taking advantage
of of all of these Western European countries. They themselves
(12:15):
have been funding this war by helping to make Putin rich.
You know, Similarly, Joe Biden turning a blind eye towards
the sanctions with Iran, all that funded their number one
state sponsor of terrorist status because that provided the monies
to produce the weapons that they would fund and give
(12:36):
to the Hamas and Habalah Islamic Jihad and the Huti rebels,
and of course the ballistic missiles they were building out themselves.
It is amazing to me that all of these great
things are happening economically. It is amazing that the President's
been able to control the borders. It's amazing that we
(12:58):
are deporting as quickly as possible all of these unvetted Biden,
Harris may orc Is, the illegals. It is amazing to
me that we took out Iranian nuclear sites, which I
believe was a clear and present danger to the United
States and to Israel. And then I look at some
(13:18):
commentary I've really I'm becoming more and more cynical of
those people that say that they are maga Conservatives or
maga Republicans or Trump supporters, and all they seem to
want to do is find the one, one difference that
(13:42):
they have with Donald Trump and ignore all the transformational
and consequential things that he is doing. And I figured
out why everybody on social media. They want to draw
attention to themselves. They want clicks, they want views, they
want attention, and if it means that they have to
(14:06):
say something more and more outrageous to get that attention,
they're going to do it. And instead of seeing, you know,
I like to look at things from you know, forty
thousand feet above, is anyone president going to be perfect. No,
but you know, abolishing the Department of Education, biggest tax
cuts in history, building a border walk, exporting criminal illegals,
(14:29):
twelve to fifteen trillion dollars in investment, looking out for
working men and women, you know, fighting back, and in
terms of law and order, safety, security, refunding the police,
building out the next generation of weaponry. And you know then,
you know, some of the loudest voices lately are people
that claim to be Trump supporters, and I find their
(14:51):
criticisms in most cases beyond petty. Well, this is why
we don't like Donald Trump. This is the best presidency
you're all ever going to get in your lifetime. I
can promise you that. And if you're expecting perfection, you're dreaming.
Think about where you were back on January nineteenth of
(15:12):
this year. All right, we mentioned to you earlier this
shooting that took place in Georgia. Thankfully nobody was killed.
We had a number of injuries. Oh sorry, I hadn't
been done. I get that five soldiers were injured. Shoot
opened fire at Fort Stewart in Georgia. They have now
(15:38):
identified this individual number one and number two. What we're
learning about this guy is he's been identified. I can't
Cornelius Radford, Okay, prisoner. Look, I don't know what the
penalty is going to be. But people could have died
(15:58):
today and these and now inn stable condition, and the
five people that have been shot in the hospital, and
it was people that were at Fort Stewart that actually
saved lives. Here, let's just dip into the press conference
that's ongoing.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining
us this morning. Shortly before eleven o'clock, an active duty
soldier assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia, shot and wounded five
of his fellow soldiers here on Fort Stewart. Thankfully, all
are in stable condition and all are expected to recover.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The alleged shooter is in custody.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
We re established security, I have lifted all lockdown measures
on Fort Stewart and there is currently no threat to
the local community. I'd like to recognize and thank our Army,
law enforcement and medical personnel, and our partners from local, state,
and federal law enforcement and emergency services for their quick
response and support. I would also like to thank the
(17:06):
brave soldiers who immediately intervened and subined and subdued the shooter.
These soldiers, without a doubt, prevented further casualties. Our wounded
soldiers were initially evacuated to win Army Community Hospital right
here on Fort Stewart. All arrived in stable condition, and
three of the five required surgical intervention. Two have been
(17:29):
transported to Memorial Hospital in Savannah, Georgia for additional care.
We have identified the alleged shooter as Sergeant Cornelius Radford,
an automated logistics sergeant assigned to second Brigade Combat Team.
Sergeant Radford has not previously deployed to combat. Sergeant Radford
has been interviewed by the Army Criminal Investigation Division and
(17:53):
is currently in pre trial confinement awaiting a charging decision
by the Office of the Special Trial Council.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Right now, our.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Primary focus is first on caring for injured soldiers and
their families and also supporting the soldiers of the Spartan Brigade.
All of the families of the victims have been notified
and we're wrapping our arms around them and ensuring we
provide them all the support that we can. Before I
take questions, I want to remind you that this is
an ongoing investigation, and we're still gathering questions and ladies
(18:25):
and gentlemen, I'll now take your questions those.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Can you give us a what unit he was a
sign coast and how long is you pression on men that?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, he is assigned to one of our sustainment units
here in second Brigade Combat Team at Fort Stewart, and
I will have to confirm how long he served with us.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yes, sir, be associated pressed as best you can know,
and it's as broadcast here.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
This happens, what.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Happened, shooting and ort to victims, supportinates from the sergeants
are going to making people were in the yeah, right
right now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's premature and we're gathering a lot of the information.
What we know is this soldier. The shooting occurred at
the soldier's place of work. It did involve his co workers.
We're still not certain about the motivations. But again he's
been interviewed by Army investigators.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And we believe will gain more information here shortly. Yes, ma'am,
the name six times an no man.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
We don't have any reason to believe it had anything
to do with with a training event other than that,
I can't I can't state the motivations for this soldier.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
We've heard that the shooter and from jackon Mill's corn,
are you that conformed that we all sard? Did he
maybe arrested for du line recently?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, at this point, I can't confirm where he's from.
We can follow up on that. I do believe he
was arrested locally for a DUI that was unknown to
his chain of command until the event occurred and we
and we started looking into the law enforcement database.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Robin Heel from the current, can you come up whether
or not that was.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
A military weapon or whether it is the person we
hit the person's wrong on day?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yes, ma'am, I can conser.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
I can confirm it was not a military weapon, and
we believe it was a personal handgun.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, sir, whether there's me or you know the security
that you personal. Yeah, I'm very confident in this.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
In the security of this installation, we've got a great
partnership with local law enforcement. As you can see here
at our gates, we have armed guards in protective equipment.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This one's a bit difficult.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
And we're going to have to determine how he was
able to get a handgun to his place of place
of duty, elly klaws for.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Jack that has the suspect at eating fire, disciplinarian or
behavioral issues one.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Day, No, ma'am, not that we're aware of. But again
it's it's early in the investigation. But not that I'm
currently aware of.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Sedication that cannot come to opposity helps the rest of
the witness.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I don't have the details on that, but I know
that his soldiers in the area that witnessed the shooting
immediately and without hesitation tackled. The soldiers subdued him. That
allowed law enforcement to then take him into custody, and.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
We have time for a more question.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I know that you can't speak to the motivation, but
you know, if this turned out to be some situation
where somebody had extremes believes or maybe pastime as a
terrorist attack, I mean, how does that change the basis
response to the basis investigation.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, currently we have no reason to believe any of
that is the case.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
However, we continually continuously assess the threat environment both in
the immediate area and our cross our army and d
OD installations, and we.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Will address the threat level accordingly. We have the rank
of the shooter.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yes, sir, he was a sergeant, Ladies and gentlemen, thank
you for your question, and again thanks to the local responders.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Anyway, our prayers are with the families of those that
have been injured here. At least five soldiers injured a
shoot or open fire at Fort Stewart in Georgia. All unstable,
condition modive, still a little bit unclear. We get more details,
we will pass them on to you. Something happened that
I found pretty remarkable, Charles Gasparino if Fox Business wrote
(22:25):
about this in the New York Post today JP Morgan
and Bank of America quote de banked President Trump over
the issue of January six because of pressure from the
Biden administration, and they're banking regulators and the Federal Reserve
(22:46):
according to people with direct knowledge of the matter tell
on the Post. His report goes on the exact reason
for Trump and his tens of millions of dollars in
holdings being kicked off JP Morgan's banking platform and then
denied access to Bank of America services as yet to
be reported, but sources at the bank, the largest and
(23:08):
second largest in the US in terms of assets, confirm
the case them from the controversy surrounding President Trump's actions,
but more importantly from threats from Biden's bank regulators that
banking the former president's money put them in danger of
(23:29):
quote falling a foul of rules that prohibit financial institutions
from doing business with individuals and companies that present a
reputational risk. This is now vindictive the Biden family could
be People at the banks tell The New York Post
(23:50):
that Biden's banking cops at the Office of the Controller
of the Currency and the FDIC and the Federal Reserve
often use the nebulous nature of the edict to go
beyond debanking money from money launderers and drunk kingpins, and
they were pressured to include Donald Trump. Now, Trump himself
(24:13):
revealed that he was debanked when he was on CNBC.
I guess earlier in the week quote, I had hundreds
of millions, many many accounts loaded up with cash. I
was loaded up with cash. And they told me, I'm sorry, sir,
we can't have you. You have twenty days to get
the money out. And he said, you have to be
kidding me. I've been with you for thirty five forty years.
(24:35):
Then he was denied services by the Bank of America. Now,
during the interview, He named both JP Morgan CEO Jamie
Diamond and Brian moynihan, a Bank of America, stating both
refused to come to his defense. He said, moynihan was
kissing my ass when I was president, and when I
called him after I was president to deposit a billion
(24:57):
dollars plus and a lot of other things. More importantly,
to open accounts, which banks always like, he said, we
can't do it.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Did you hear about this DOZE stafford, the one that
became somewhat infamous or famous known as quote big Balls,
That's what the name they gave him. He's only nineteen
years old. This kid must be brilliant anyway. Formerly worked
at DOGE before transferring to the Social Security Administration. But
according to former DOZE chief Elon Musk, this guy was
(25:33):
attacked trying to assist a woman who was in the
initial was the initial target of a gang of about
a dozen young men. No, this guy went to this
woman's defense. Kind of sounds a lot like what happened
in Cincinnati. Musk posted that a gang of about a
dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her
car at night in DC. A DOZE team member saw
(25:56):
what was happening. Ran to defend her was severely and
we showed the images on TV last night. I mean,
this guy got a brutal, brutal beating. It was terrible. Anyway,
President Trump on Monday threatened to federalize DC, calling for
local miners and gang members over the age of fourteen
(26:16):
to be prosecuted as adults. After this incident happened. By
the way, President Trump did sign the executive order establishing
a task force for the twenty twenty eight Olympic Games
in Los Angeles, and he said, you know, what a
great honor that that will be. President Trump now getting
(26:38):
tougher and tougher with Vladimir Putin. Steve Whitkoff, the President's
Special envoy, his meeting with Putin for last minute peace talks.
There's an announcement that there may be a meeting between
Putin and Trump themselves to see if they can maybe
once and for all and finally put an end to
this ridiculous conflict that's been going on with you Ukraine.
(27:02):
You know, Vladimir Putin is what he is, and I
know that there are people, I don't know why, there
are some that interpret Donald Trump's no forever wars or
Donald Trump's efforts to establish peace both in the Middle
East and in Europe as somehow America is being you know,
(27:25):
America first means or equals isolationism, because it does not.
Donald Trump has the Trump doctorate, the legacy. Media has
never defined it. I'll gladly define it for you because
we watch his actions. Yes, the President believes very strongly
America should not get it embroiled in these forever wars,
(27:48):
and I tend to agree with him. We can't do
what we did in Iraq. First of all, military technology,
starting with drones and moving forward from there, is it
advancing at the speed of light. That's why we have
to be on the cutting edge of the next generation
of weaponry. I am beyond convinced. I know it's a
(28:10):
reality that future wars are not going to be fought
traditionally like they have been in battlefields, although there will
always probably be a need for human intelligence, although that
may change with technology also, but you know, hypersonic missiles
and drone technology and even robots for crying out loud,
(28:30):
I mean they're looking at robots soldiers that are being
built out, especially now by the Chinese Communist Chinese army.
But we need a robust military. But the point is
why some are interpreting Donald Trump as an isolation. This
makes no sense to me. He's the guy that beat
the Isis Caliphate. He's the guy that took out Solmani.
(28:53):
He's the guy that beat bag Daddy and his associates.
He's the guy that dropped the mother of all bombs
in Afghanistan. Yes, and keeping with his philosophy and his
principles and his doctrine of no forever wars, he did
all of that and he didn't start a forever war.
He's been trying to end wars. And because you know,
(29:15):
Vladimir Putin has been so Look, Putin is a thug
and a dictator. He just is is Thelensky perfect, far
from it. But this really happened on Biden's watch, and
you know, the crimea annexation took place with Biden and Obama.
(29:38):
He's just trying to put out the fire in the
mess that they built there. And because Putin has been
so reluctant and targeting innocent civilians, they are selling weapons
to Ukraine so they can defend their country. Hopefully they'll
come to a peaceful settlement. Hopefully this can end. Hopefully
the dying will stop. That's in keeping with the Trump doctrine.
