>> COMING UP TONIGHT ON THE DON. THE REPORT, ANOTHER REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR AMERICA TO LEAD ON THE VIRUS FRONT. IT'S THERE FOR THE TAKING WILL THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION POUNDS ALSO, COULD THE OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF NOT FOR THE LOCKS INSTALLED ON CLASSROOM DOORS. WE HAVE THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY WHO MAKES THOSE LOCKS AND THIS. IF YOU'RE ON THIS CALL. PART OF THE UNLUCKY GROUP.
IS THE WEIGHT OFF. >> YOUR EMPLOYMENT HERE. JUST TERMINATED. THE MEDIA ARE YOU GOOD >> HOW'S THAT FOR A ZOOM CALL. ONE BOSS FIRES 900 PEOPLE ON THAT ZOOM CALL. WE HAVE THE VIRAL VIDEO. PLUS THE TICK DOCTOR WHO SPOKE TO A LOT OF THOSE WORKERS. HER WORK HAS GONE VIRAL AS WELL. BIG SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT. BUT TO HAVE YOU WITH US LIVE FROM OUR CHICAGO STUDIOS.
THE DONLON REPORT STARTS RIGHT NOW. ON THIS 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR AND WE ARE ONCE AGAIN INSPIRED TO EXAMINE LEADERSHIP IN OUR COUNTRY. THAT IS THE PULSE OF AMERICA TONIGHT. >> WHEN JAPAN ATTACKED IN 1941 AMERICA RESPONDED IN A BIG WAY. THAT WAS CLEAR LEADERSHIP IN WASHINGTON AMONG OUR MILITARY RANKS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, PERHAPS IN OUR TOWNS AND COMMUNITIES WHEN ANOTHER ENEMY COVID STRUCK IN 2020 AMERICA RESPONDED AS WELL. WE LISTEN TO LEADERSHIP, WE DEVELOPED A VACCINE IN RECORD TIME THANKS TO A COORDINATED EFFORT FROM THE GOVERNMENT BUSINESS AND SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES. THERE ARE CALLS TONIGHT FOR MORE AMERICAN LEADERSHIP ON THE GLOBAL VACCINE FRONT LIKE WE HAD BEFORE.
MIKE. WE EVEN HAD IN WORLD WAR 2 WITH EVERYONE RALLYING AROUND A COMMON ENEMY. TOP SCIENTISTS ARE CALLING ON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO INITIATE A NEW OPERATION WARP SPEED. THE GOAL IS TO DEVELOP A VACCINE THAT COULD FIGHT ANY VARIANT A CRIME. THE PROBLEM IS WE ARE DIVIDED ON THE VACCINE WHEN WE SHOULD BE CLAIMING IT AS A GLOBAL VICTORY, AN EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN INGENUITY AND DETERMINATION. WHAT MORE FOLKS ON THE RIGHT, GET THE JAB. IF THE POLITICIANS THEY SUPPORT FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP ON DOWN SHOUTED FROM THE ROOFTOPS THAT THE VACCINE WAS THEIR VICTORY AND TO THE LEFT. SO DIVISION IN DOUBT WHEN THEY QUESTION THE VACCINE SAFETY DURING THE ELECTION PERHAPS YOU REMEMBER THIS FROM THE CAMPAIGN.
>> SHOULD AMERICANS TAKE IT AND WOULD YOU TAKE IT. >> IF THE. >> PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, IF DOCTOR FAUCI, IF THE DOCTORS TELL US THAT WE SHOULD TAKE IT. I'LL BE THE FIRST IN LINE TO TAKE IT ABSOLUTELY. BUT DONALD TRUMP TELLS US THAT THAT WE TAKE IT. I'M NOT TAKING IT. >> JOSH FRYDMAN: PERHAPS GLENN YOUNGKIN, THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA HELPED DEFINE NOT ONLY THE GOP POSITION OF THE VACCINE. BUT A PATH FOR EVERYONE TO FOLLOW WHEN HE TWEETED THIS AFTER GETTING THE BOOSTER SHOT. IT'S YOUR DECISION. BUT I ENCOURAGE EVERY VIRGINIAN TO JOIN ME TOGETHER. WE CAN HELP KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE.
THE VACCINE IS ONLY ONE ISSUE WHERE WE'RE SEARCHING FOR LEADERSHIP OR AT THE VERY LEAST SOME COMMON SENSE AND COMMON GROUND. WE THOUGHT WE SAW LEADERSHIP AND 13 REPUBLICANS CROSSED THE AISLE TO SUPPORT THE BIDEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. THEY WERE MET WITH DEATH THREATS. A DARE WE SAY WE SAW LEADERSHIP WHEN SENATOR JOE MANCHIN, A DEMOCRAT REFUSED TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT OVER THE PRESIDENT'S VACCINE MANDATE, AN ISSUE WHERE HE ALIGNS WITH REPUBLICANS. QUOTE, I WILL NOT VOTE TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT FOR PURELY POLITICAL REASONS. THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THESE EXAMPLES SEE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND OFTEN GET DROWNED OUT BY THE MORE VOCAL VOICES ON THE EXTREME ENDS OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO PEARL HARBOR AND WORLD WAR 2 VETERAN BOB DOLE DIED OVER THE WEEKEND. HIS LEGACY CAN HOPEFULLY PROVIDE A BLUEPRINT FOR LEADERSHIP. FACT, IN HIS FINAL OP ED, HE WROTE MEANINGFUL CHANGE COMES TO THE COUNTRY WHEN EVERYONE PUTS ASIDE THEIR PARTY LABEL AND WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
LONGTIME SPEECHWRITER TALKED ABOUT THAT LAST NIGHT ON THIS BROADCAST AS WELL AS DOLE'S LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP. >> WASN'T MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY FOR HIM. IT WAS A YOU HAD TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE DEMOCRATS IN AND THAT LAST SPEECH HE GAVE ON THE SENATE FLOOR 96. HE REALIZE THAT THAT HIS BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS WERE THOSE THAT HE DID WITH DEMOCRATS. >> JOSH FRYDMAN: IN DOLE'S DAY. YOU KNEW THE WAR HEROES. THESE DAYS. YOU KNOW, THE SOCIAL MEDIA STARS. THAT'S WHERE WE BEGIN TONIGHT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST LAURA THANKS. AND WASHINGTON EXAMINER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF YOU GO, GIRL. GREAT TO HAVE YOU BOTH. LAURA, LET'S START WITH YOU FROM BOB DOLE TO TODAY. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS HAPPENED TO OUR LEADERS. >> WELL, I I THINK IT'S THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND SO HAVE THE PEOPLE THAT THE POWER STRUCTURE IS VERY DIFFERENT. AND BIPARTISANSHIP IS NOT REWARDED IN THE SAME WAY POLITICALLY IN THESE VERY PARTISAN, VERY DIVIDED TIMES THE MEDIA INFRASTRUCTURE, THE CAMPAIGN FINANCING, INFRASTRUCTURE ALL ALIGNED WITH THE MORE PARTISAN YOU ARE, THE MORE ENTRENCHED YOU CAN BE CALM AND POTENTIALLY THE MOST SUCCESSFUL. SO I THINK IT'S STRUCTURAL AS WELL AS PERSONALITY. AND I WAS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN LOOK TO BOB DOLE TO AS AN EXAMPLE TO WHERE WE CHANGE AND GET BETTER. HE LET'S BE. >> I GUESS, BUILD ON WHAT DOLE SAID BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT HE WROTE THAT OP-ED THAT CAUGHT OUR EYE.
ONE OF THEM WAS TEAMWORK IS NEEDED IN WASHINGTON NOW MORE THAN EVER. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE HAVE. DO YOU THINK IT IS A SOCIAL MEDIA PROBLEM. IS THAT A CABLE NEWS PROBLEM IS THAT THE PARTIES THEMSELVES. >> I DON'T THINK IS PRIMARILY A SOCIAL MEDIA I THINK THAT THOUGH, THOUGH, THAT OF COURSE MAKES A GREAT DEAL WORSE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BOB DOLE SAID IS A NEW CLOSURE DID HIS FOR SOMEONE. SOME MEANINGFUL CHANGE HAPPENS IN THIS COUNTRY. IT'S WHEN PEOPLE PUT ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S COMPLETELY UNTRUE. WITH THAT, WOULD IT WOULD BE MODEL IS IF THE PEOPLE WOULD COME TOGETHER AND DECIDE THINGS TO THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. BUT THERE'S GREAT DEAL OF MEANINGFUL CHANGE GOING ON NOW AS MEANINGFUL CHANGE.
IN THE CURRICULUM IN SCHOOLS. THERE'S MEANINGFUL CHANGE. I MEAN, IT'S VERY MEANINGFUL FOR EXAMPLE, THAT TO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A MAN IS IN A WOMAN IS THE STAKES. WHAT WE HAVE THE MOMENT ON THE LEFT IS A PARTY THAT IS ON INTERESTED IN COMPROMISE, WHICH IS A REVOLUTIONARY PARTY AND REFORM GRADUAL CHANGE IN CONSENSUS IS ANATHEMA TO IT AND WHEN IT COMES TO LEADERSHIP, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS IS FOR LEADERSHIP OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY LEADERSHIP OF AMONGST CONSERVATIVES AND INDEED THE LEADERSHIP. MORE DEMOCRATS LIKE JOE MANSION IS TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS A BIG FACTION ON THE WHICH IS INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU SAY. THE SAME THING FOR THE RIGHT THOSE HUGO, ISN'T THAT THE SAME CASE. RIGHT.
THERE ARE THERE ARE SOME THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE. THERE ARE SOME CRAZIES ON BOTH YOU KNOW, I THINK. BUT I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE NOW, THE LEFT THE UPPER HAND. HAS THE WHIP HAND AND ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE FACT OF POLITICAL LIFE RIGHT NOW IS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT THAT IS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY YOU KNOW, RUNNING RUNNING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT IS PUSHING IT TO ITS AGENDA. ON THE LEFT I'M NOT INTERESTED IN COMPRISED. JUST THINK ABOUT THE ELECTION. OFF TO THE 2020 ELECTION. THE DEMOCRATS HAD A SMALLER MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE AND THEY HAD NO MORE SEATS IN THE SENATE.
THEN THE REPUBLICAN STUPID THAT LEGISLATING AND ACTING AS THOUGH THEY WERE GIVEN SOME HUGE MANDATE FOR RADICAL CHANGE. THAT'S WHY THERE'S AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT MAKES THINGS SO OFF AN INTERESTED IN COMPROMISE. >> AND THAT ABSOLUTE SHOWS THAT WHILE LAURA COMPROMISED TO SO MANY WAYS AND ART, I GUESS TO OTHERS. IT'S A WEAKNESS. YOU KNOW, COMPROMISE JUST A COMPROMISE MAY NOT BE THE WAY TO GET THERE. BUT IT IS OR SHOULD BE AT LEAST AND AND TO SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE AGREE IS WORTH GETTING TO. >> WELL, AN AND, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING RESPOND TO ANYTHING.
AND THAT I DISAGREE WITH. THE OTHER SIDE WITH MY COLLEAGUE. BUT I WILL TAKE A PAGE FROM SENATOR BOB DOLE'S BOOK AND AND TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT HE DEEPLY CARED ABOUT THAT. HE DID COMPROMISE ON HEALTH CARE ACROSS HIS CAREER. VOTING RIGHTS PASSED THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT RENEWED IN THE IN A BIPARTISAN WAY A PROPONENT OF ENDING HUNGER AND WORKING ON FOOD INSECURITY ACROSS THE AISLE BOTH AS A SENATOR AND BEYOND AS ARE A RETIRED PERSON AND AS A GREAT LEADER, A GREAT AMERICAN LEADER HAS WORKED WORKED ON THAT UP UNTIL HIS STAFF. AND SO THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON. I TRULY I'M I'M I'M A I'M A BLUE DEMOCRAT TO THE CORE. I AM NOT GOING TO SAY THAT IT'S EXCLUSIVELY ONE PARTY OR THE OTHER, NOR AM I GOING TO SAY THAT THIS WILL BE EASY BECAUSE AGAIN, STRUCTURALLY THERE IS DIVIDE IN THIS COUNTRY FROM THE WAY THAT DISTRICTS ARE DRAWN TO THE WAY CAMPAIGNS ARE FINANCED. AND SO IT WILL TAKE TREMENDOUS BUT I LOOK TO ABOUT SOMETHING POSITIVE IN WHO IS NOW PRESIDENT BIDEN WHO IS NOW OUR PRESIDENT.
WHEN BOB DOLE WAS RUNNING IN 1996. HE SAID, YOU KNOW, IF THERE WAS A REPUBLICAN, BUT I WOULD SUPPORT IT WOULD BE SENATOR BOB DOLE. I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK OUR OPPOSITION AT PEOPLE, WE JUST DISAGREE WITH IN THAT WAY AND SAY, YOU KNOW, IF I HAD TO PICK A DEMOCRAT. WHO WOULD IT BE. IF I HAD TO PICK A REPUBLICAN WHO WOULD BE IN. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND WORK TOGETHER WITH BECAUSE THE BIGGEST ISSUES VERY RARELY GET ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT SOME KIND OF COMPROMISE AND SUPPORT. WE SAW THAT TO YOUR POINT SHOW WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE MORE MOVING FORWARD.
IF NOT THIS YEAR THAN IN THE COMING YEARS. HE WROTE THIS IS ALL GREAT TALK. BUT HOW DO WE GET TO THIS POSITION WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO AT LEAST TO OPEN OUR MINDS TO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE IN THE END IF WE'RE WILLING TO TO BE A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBLE AND LOOK AT WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE. NOT NECESSARILY PART. >> LOSE. YOU AND INTO IT A LOOK. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF I MEAN, A LOT, BOB DOLE WAS LOST IN CONGRESS. 25 YEARS TO GO. YEAH. IT WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN PARK.
VE TALKED TO. WE ARE IN NOW IT AND THE WHOLE PREMISE OF THIS SEGMENT OF YOUR SHOW. THE TOP OF YOUR SHOW IS THAT WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT EPOCH NOW AND IT'S NO POINT CITING HOW PEOPLE GET TOGETHER FOR, YOU KNOW, AN ISSUE LIKE IN THE UNITED STATES. A 25 YEARS AGO WILL 2 YEARS AGO THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. WE ARE FACING AT THE MOMENT. A RADICAL LEFT WING TAKEOVER CHANGE OF THIS COUNTRY. THEY EVEN SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. >> LEADERSHIP HAS NOW LEFT PROBABLY ISN'T THE EXCLUSIVE ANSWER. I WOULD SAY. >> BUT REALLY NO, NO, IT ISN'T THE EXCLUSIVE ON SOME BUT STANDING UP TO THE LEFT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ON SAYS THERE IS. >> WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE OTHER INTERESTING THINGS WAS SENATOR DOLE WASN'T AFRAID TO STAND UP WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY AND STAND UP TO HIS OWN PARTY.
AND SINCE WE'RE KIND OF HONORING HIS LEGACY WITH THIS SEGMENT. I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING CERTAINLY I THINK, JOE, THAT YOU POINTED OUT IN YOUR OPENING SEGMENT AND SOMETHING THAT WE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT IN BOTH PARTIES. BUT YES, CERTAINLY I WOULD SAY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. WE DON'T WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT. WE DON'T WANT TO USE PARTISAN IN IN 5TH GEAR EVERY DAY.
24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK. AND SO I I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S AN ACCOMPLISHED ABUL GOAL. EVEN WITH THE CONSTRAINTS, RIGHT. IT IS AN EXCLUSIVE THAT'S FOR SURE. HE WILL GARDEN. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOU. AND LAURA FINK IS WELL REBEL COMMUNICATIONS FOUNDER, HUGO, OF COURSE, WITH THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. >> LET'S MOVE ON NOW TO MOVING ON THE TOP REPUBLICAN IN THE SENATE, MIG TO HAVE A RERUN OF THE 2020 ELECTION IN 22. >> PARIS DENNARD RNC SPOKESPERSON JOINS US NOW. GOOD TO HAVE YOU GET PARA. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? CAN YOU GET PAST 2020. >> TELL YOU WHAT THE RNC IS DOING. RNC IS FOCUSED ON THE 2022 ELECTIONS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE RETIRE. NANCY PELOSI HAVE THE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME FIGHTING FOR THE VERY THINGS THAT SO MANY MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HOLD VERY DEAR, WHICH IS THE ISSUE OF ELECTION INTEGRITY. THE RNC IS FIGHTING AND INTERVENE IN CASES IN GEORGIA CASES IN FLORIDA, TEXAS AND ARIZONA AND WE ARE ENGAGED IN LITIGATION IN 2 CITIES IN VERMONT WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO ALLOW FOR NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE.
SO WE CAN LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020 IN AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DEMOCRATS. ATTEMPTED TO DO AND DID DO IN TERMS OF CHANGING ELECTION LAWS IN THE CLOAK OF DARKNESS BY I WERE ALL LIKE HOUSING THAT THE COURTS UPHELD L A. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND CONTINUE TO PUT ELECTION INTEGRITY AT THE FOREFRONT OF OF THIS PROCESS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE ME. BUT LITERALLY BLED AND DIED FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
AND NOW DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO CHANGE THE LAWS AGAIN AND ALLOW NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH CHANGES ARE HAPPENING IN STATE REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATURES THAT ARE REPUBLICAN. LET PARIS. >> THE DEMOCRATS A LOT OF THESE CHANGES. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CHANGES TO ELECTION LAWS. WE HAVE. WE'RE FIGHTING ON ELECTION INTEGRITY AND A LOT OF DEMOCRATS ARE LYING ABOUT WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE DOING LIKE. THEY LIED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN GEORGIA. LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO IF YOU'RE SO CONCERNED ABOUT ELECTION PARIS THAT THEY LIED ABOUT. THEY LIED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY THEY CLAIMED VOTERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE WATER IN THE LINES. THAT'S NOT TRUE. THAT WAS A LIE THAT. THAT WAS A LIE. THEY ALSO LIED AND TRIED TO IT. AND IN ARIZONA, THEY TRIED TO SAY THAT IT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND DISCRIMINATORY BY ASKING PEOPLE TO VOTE IN THEIR PRIMARY THEIR PRIMARY AND NOT TO HAVE BALLOT HARVESTING THE RNC INTERVENE AND THAT THE SUPREME COURT UPHELD THE FACT THAT THAT IS NOT DISCRIMINATORY AND THE DEMOCRATS COULD NOT FIND ONE EXAMPLE OF BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF BEING ASKED VOTE IN THEIR PRIMARY AND NOT HAVING BOUGHT OF HARVESTING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TRUE.
68 WANT TO IN YOUR PARTY. PARIS STILL THINK THE STONE, THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN. HOW DO WE GET PAST THAT. WE WE LOOK FORWARD. I MINDING THOSE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE GOT TO SHOW UP AT TO VOTE IN 2022 GO TO GOP VICTORY. DOT COM WE'RE TRYING ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE AND TO VOTE BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY WE TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY. THE ONLY WAY THAT WE ENSURE THAT THE THINGS THAT WE CARE ABOUT IS ACTUALLY ON THE BALLOT AND THE CANDIDATES THAT WE NEED THAT PUT AMERICA FIRST. ARE ELECTED IS IF WE SHOW UP AND VOTE. ALL RIGHT. KIRSTEN, ARE GOP SPARKS SPOKESPERSON. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOU. THANKS FOR THE TIME. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT BIDEN THREATENED VLADIMIR PUTIN WITH ECONOMIC SANCTIONS WILL STOP RUSSIA FROM INVADING UKRAINE. PLUS, AS WE MARK 80 YEARS SINCE THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR WILL LOOK AT WHETHER A PUSH TO DE-ESCALATE TENSIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE. PRESIDENT BIDEN HOLDING A HIGH STAKES VIDEO CALL. >> WITH RUSSIA'S VLADIMIR PUTIN WHOSE NATIONS KELLI MEYER IN WASHINGTON FOR US TONIGHT.
KELLEY PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS UP WAS PRETTY FIRM. WE UNDERSTAND AT LEAST ACCORDING TO THE WHITE HOUSE WITH FOOD. >> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S A WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING THAT HE WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH WHO AND DIRECT AND TELLING HIM WHAT RUSSIA COULD FACE. SHOULD THEY INVADE UKRAINE? THE PRESIDENT GIVING PUTIN REALLY 2 OPTIONS HERE DE-ESCALATE THE CURRENT SITUATION AND RETURN TO DIPLOMACY OR FACE SEVERE SANCTIONS. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IS UP TO WHO AND BUT HERE'S WHAT THE U.S.
IS THREATENING THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THEY ARE PREPARED TO PROVIDE MORE DEFENSIVE MATERIAL TO YOU. THE UKRAINIANS AND SEND MORE U.S. TROOPS TO OUR NATO ALLIES IN THE REGION ON SANCTIONS. THE WHITE HOUSE WASN'T SPECIFIC ON. THEY DIDN'T EXPAND ON THE SPECIFICS HERE, BUT THEY SAY THEY WOULD BE THE HARDEST ISH HARSHEST YET MORE SEVERE THAN WHEN RUSSIA INVADED CRIMEA. 7 YEARS AGO AND THE U.S. COULD PUSH GERMANY TO STOP A GAS PIPELINE FROM RUSSIA.
THEY WOULD ALSO. AUSTIN HERE. THEY WOULD ALSO THE NORD STREAM. 2 WOULD BE ANOTHER BLOW TO RUSSIA'S ECONOMY. WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THEY BELIEVE COUP AND HASN'T DECIDED YET WHAT HE WILL DO NEXT. BUT THEY'RE HOPING TO STOP HIM BEFORE HE TAKES ANY FURTHER ACTION. HERE'S WHAT WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS HAD TO SAY TODAY. >> I WILL LOOK YOU IN THE EYE AND TELL YOU AS PRESIDENT BIDEN LOOKED PRESIDENT PUTIN IN THE EYE AND TOLD HIM TODAY THAT THINGS WE DID NOT DO IN 2014 WE ARE PREPARED TO DO NOW. NOW, IN TERMS OF THE SPECIFICS. WE WOULD PREFER TO COMMUNICATE THAT DIRECTLY TO THE RUSSIANS TO NOT NEGOTIATE IN PUBLIC.
>> AND JOE TO UNDERSCORE THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION OF THE PRESIDENT SPOKE WITH NATO ALLIES TODAY FROM ITALY TO THE U K TO FRANCE TO BREAKING DOWN WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS CALL WITH 2. AND HE'S ALSO SPEAKING WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE TONIGHT. >> ON THAT CALL. JOE KELLY MEYER LIVE IN DC THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JOINING US NOW WITH MORE ON THIS IS JUDGE OR FORMER NAVAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICER AND SOMEONE WITH EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE.
A BRUSH. ALL RIGHT, JOHN, LET'S START WITH WHAT WE HEARD THERE FROM THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, JAKE SULLIVAN. IT APPEARED TO HIM ANYWAY. THAT PUTIN HAD MADE A DECISION ABOUT WHETHER TO INVADE UKRAINE. YOU BELIEVE THAT. >> YES, I BELIEVE THAT PUTIN WAS TRYING TO IS TRYING TO TEST TO THE WEST, TRYING TO SEE HOW FAR HE CAN PUSH US. HOW FAR YOU CAN INTIMIDATE THE EUROPEANS TOO, BECAUSE AFTER THE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN. AMERICA'S ADVERSARIES. WANT TO RETEST THE ON WHAT WE TEST. THE CONTOURS OF AMERICA'S COMMITMENTS AND THAT'S WHAT YOU BUY WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM A COMMITMENT LIKE ME AFGHANISTAN. IS THIS TYPE OF TEST. SO HE WANTS YOU WANT TO SEE HOW FAR WILL GO, HOW TOUGH WILL BE WITH THE EUROPEANS BACK US UP ON THIS AND WILL HE BE ABLE TO EXTRACT SOME SORT OF CONCESSION.
NOT IN THIS CASE IT LOOKS LIKE PUTIN WANTS TO WANTS A WRITTEN GUARANTEE THAT UKRAINE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER NATO AND GUARANTEES FROM THE WEST THAT CERTAIN CLASSES OF WEAPONS WILL NOT WOULD NOT BE INTRODUCED. 2 UKRAINIAN IN THIS PART OF THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY OR PART OF ANY WESTERN MISSION TO UKRAINE. I GET THE IMPRESSION EVEN JUST LOOKING AT THIS VIDEO OF PUTIN THAT SOMEHOW SANCTIONS DON'T THEY DON'T SCARE I DON'T THINK WHERE THEY WOULD DETER HIM GREAT.
>> WELL, I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T SHOW IT. HE'S GOT ONE HECK OF A POKER FACES A CHECK. HE IS WHICH IS THE RUSSIAN TERM FOR A PERFORMER KGB. WHAT HE IS GOOD. RUSSIA IS CONCERNED ABOUT SANCTIONS TO SOME DEGREE. THERE ARE 2 SAINTS TYPES OF SANCTIONS WILL REALLY, REALLY HURT ECONOMIC RUSSIA ECONOMICALLY ONE IS TO BE BANNED FROM THE SWIFT SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE INTERNATIONAL BANKING POSTING SYSTEM BASED IN BELGIUM WHICH ALLOWS FOR INTER BANK TRANSFERS TO BE KICKED OUT OF THAT WOULD BE DEVASTATING THAT CERTAINLY THAT WAS CERTAINLY WAS CATASTROPHIC FOR THE IRANIANS.
THE SECOND IS FOR SECONDARY SANCTIONS, WHICH MEANS TO SANCTION THOSE COMPANIES THAT WORK IN THE SECONDARY MARKETS FOR RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT DEBT THAT WOULD REALLY HURT THE RUBLE AND REALLY HEARD RUSSIA ECONOMICALLY. SO THOSE WITH IMPACT THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY. BUT WE COULD IMPOSE SANCTIONS ON CERTAIN OF THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF CERTAIN ALL A DARK CENTER CLOSE TO PUTIN AND THAT MIGHT BE POLITICALLY PAINFUL. NOW THE QUESTION IS WILL THE EUROPEANS GO ALONG WITH THAT. I'M NOT SO SURE THAT THEY WILL THAT PUTIN WANTS TO FIND OUT. ALL RIGHT. JOHN, WE WANT TO GET YOU ON ANOTHER ISSUE TODAY. OF COURSE, THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY PEARL HARBOR. >> JOSH FRYDMAN: WE ALL REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT. BUT WE ALSO REMEMBER HOW OFF-GUARD KNOW WE WERE ALL CAUGHT AT THE TIME. WHERE DO YOU THINK OUR NAVY STANDS RIGHT NOW. IN YOUR OPINION, ARE WE READY? >> TOM SKILLING: CERTAINLY WE'RE READY FOR A CONFLICT CONFLICT OF 20 YEARS AGO.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE NAVY MORE THAN ANY OTHER SERVICE IS THE LEAD TIME TO BUILD UP THE CAPITAL ASSETS TO FIGHT THESE WARS. SEE YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE TYPE OF WAR YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT 20 YEARS AHEAD OF TIME. YES, CERTAINLY WHERE THE MOST POTENT NAVY ON EARTH. BUT OTHER WAYS AROUND IT. YOU BET. TECHNOLOGY POSES A THREAT TO US TO OUR LARGEST CAPITAL SHIPS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND WE PROBABLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SUBMARINES AND PRESENT. I DO. YOU IMAGINE I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS TODAY. JOHN, DID YOU ENVISION A WAR. >> THE LIKES OF WHICH WE'VE ONLY REALLY SEEN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS WITH WITH AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, BATTLESHIPS.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S FOUGHT IT SEE LIKE THIS. >> AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ALWAYS WILL HAVE A ROLE BASICALLY THEIR MOBILE AIRFIELDS. AND AS LONG AS AIRPLANES ARE IMPORTANT AIRCRAFT CARRIERS WILL BE IMPORTANT. THE WORLD TOMORROW IS REALLY ONE OF SEE DENIAL AND BE ABLE TO SEVER SEA LANES AND TRADE WINDS AND ISOLATED ADVERSARY IN THIS CASE POTENTIALLY CHINA OR TO DENY THE FORCED HIM BE US ACCESS TO TAIWAN AND THAT REQUIRES AT LEAST IN THE FACE OF HYPER APPEARED UP AIR AIR THREAT LIKE CHINA THAT WOULD PRINT JUST SOME RAINS ARE PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.
AND WE'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE SHORT IN THAT DEPARTMENT. FASCINATING INSIGHT, JOHN JORDAN. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU AS ALWAYS. THANK YOU. MY PLEASURE. LOT OF PARENTS IN OXFORD, MICHIGAN. CREDIT THIS DEVICE A FLOOR MOUNTED DOOR LOCK SAVING LIVES DURING THE SCHOOL SHOOTING. >> WE HAVE THE OWNER OF THAT COMPANY MAKES DEADLOCK NEXT. WE ALSO HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARENTS OF THE ACCUSED SHOOTER. AND WHY IS THE SCHOOL DENIED THE REQUEST FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE WARNING SIGNS FROM THAT DAY. BACK WITH MORE AFTER THAT. >> A FUNERAL WAS HELD TODAY IN OXFORD, MICHIGAN FOR 16 YEAR-OLD TATE MYRE MEYER WAS ONE OF 4 STUDENTS KILLED IN OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL LAST WEEK WHEN POLICE SAY 15 YEAR-OLD ETHAN CRUMBLEY OPENED FIRE IN THE SCHOOL USING A GUN. PROSECUTORS SAY WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS PARENTS. TAKE PLAYED FOOTBALL. IT'S ON THE HONOR ROLL. HIS TEAM SAYS HE WAS BELOVED BY ALL AND HAD A BRIGHT FUTURE AS A COMMUNITY WORKS TO HEAL FROM THE TRAGIC LOSS OF THOSE STUDENTS FOLLOWING LAST WEEK'S SHOOTING. SOME PARENTS ARE NOW GIVING THANKS TO ONE COMPANY. PROTECTING THEIR KIDS LIVES COMPANY IS CALLED NIGHT LOCKED.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY A BARRICADE THAT PREVENTION IN SCHRODER FROM BREAKING IN DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, ROUGHLY 700 DEVICES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ACROSS THE OXFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT. JOINING ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS NIGHT LAW CO-FOUNDER JOE TAYLOR. JOE, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE WHAT DID IT MEAN TO YOU TO TO HEAR THESE PARENTS AT THE SCHOOL. CREDITING YOUR PRODUCT AND SAVING LIVES. >> WELL, IT'S A LITTLE LITTLE YOU KNOW, WE CAN TAKE PART OF THE IT WAS WE WERE JUST ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. THEY HAD A LOT OF OTHER PROTOCOLS AND TRAININGS THAT HELPED. A LOT AS OUR DEVICES WERE ACTIVATED AND. IT'S THE FIRST THAT WE'VE HEARD. THAT OUR PRODUCTS AND THEN PUT INTO ACTION IN AN ACTUAL ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENT. YES. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS VIDEO HERE. WE CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA, JOE, HOW THIS WORKS SO THAT THE LOCK IS KEPT RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR SO THAT ANYONE COULD QUICKLY PUT IT ON. >> AND WHAT HAPPENS. I GUESS PEOPLE WOULD ASK IF THEY NEED TO GET INTO IT FROM THE OTHER SIDE SAY WHETHER THAT'S A TEACHER WHO SAYS, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET THEM TO SAFETY OR MAYBE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET IN.
YEAH. >> YES. YEAH. WE'VE A SPECIAL THAT WE GIVE TO THE AT SCHOOLS AND. THEY GIVE THE FIRST RESPONDERS ACCESS TO THEM AND THEY CAN GET IN MOST OF MOST OF THE SCHOOLS TELL US THAT. THEIR POLICY IS. >> WHEN YOU GO INTO DON'T COME OUT. YOU KNOW, ANYTHING YOU KNOW, AS IN OXFORD. >> YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR ABOUT THE AT I'M THE GUY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR. I'M TRYING TO TRICK THAT SIMPLY TRICKED THEM INTO OPENING THE DOOR AS MOST OF SCHOOLS JUST SAY YOU'RE IN.
THERE'S A THERE AND THERE ARE AT LEAST WILL FIRST RESPONDERS WILL LET YOU OUT. SO YOU ARE FOCUSED MORE ON THE RESIDENTIAL MARKET. JOE, WHEN DID YOU SEE THIS CHANGE AND THIS SCHOOL APPLICATION BECAUSE IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE OXFORD WAS ONE OF YOUR I GUESS. >> USERS OF THIS BUT 700 DEVICES IS PRETTY WIDESPREAD. ARE YOU GETTING CALLS FROM OTHER DISTRICTS. NOW, A LOT OF THEM. >> OH, YES, THE PHONE'S RINGING OFF AFTER THE PARKLAND SHOOTING IN THAT WAS A REALLY BUSY YEAR. IT SAID. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF IT COMES DOWN TO A BUDGET AND THAT. JUST THE TIMING, YOU KNOW, IT A LOT OF WORK TO DO. YOU KNOW, GET THINGS DONE. I SUPPOSE IN.
I THINK SCHOOLS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IS PROTECTION PAST YOUR KNEES. THE FASTBALL YOU KNOW, FROM CAMERAS TOO. A MASS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. USE SO MUCH TO GET THAT GOES IN THE RIGHT STUFF. WELL, IT'S JUST. >> IT'S A SIMPLE DEVICE AND WE'RE GLAD THAT IT'S THAT IT'S WORKING. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WORK. YOU'RE HEARING FROM THESE PARENTS WHO ARE THANKING YOU FOR WHAT IT DID FOR THEM IN THAT SCHOOL NIGHT LAW CO-FOUNDER JOE TAYLOR, THANKS FOR THE TIME.
WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WELL, NIGHT LOCK MAY HAVE HELPED SAVE STUDENTS LIVES. MANY RAISE THE QUESTION. WHETHER MORE LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. COULD THE SCHOOL HAVE POSSIBLY DONE MORE TO PREVENT THE SHOOTING ALTOGETHER. NOW MICHIGAN'S ATTORNEY GENERAL DANA NESSEL SAYS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS REJECTED HER OFFER TO REVIEW THE SHOOTING. JOINING US NOW FOR MORE ON THAT NEWS NATIONS, BRIAN AND BRIAN, WHAT IS WHAT SHE SAYING. THE A G ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION AND WHY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PAST. >> WELL, SHE DOESN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHY, BUT SHE GOT WORD FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT EARLY THIS MORNING. BASICALLY, THANKS BUT NO THANKS WE DON'T WANT YOU TO DO AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED HERE. WHAT WE KNOW FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THAT THEY PLAN TO HIRE THEIR OWN PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY TO COME INTO OXFORD AND TELL THEM WHAT WENT RIGHT AND WHAT WENT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TODAY SAID AT THIS POINT SHE IS NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND DO A FULL INVESTIGATION ON HER OWN.
BUT SHE DID SAY SHE IS STILL GOING TO LOOK INTO WHAT HAPPENED. I LISTEN TO WHAT SHE TOLD US EARLIER. >> WE'RE NOT GOING JUST DO NOTHING RIGHT. WE WE ASK FOR THEIR OPEN COOPERATION. AND AT THIS POINT THEY'RE NOT READY FOR THAT YET, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO NOTICE A LAUNCH OWN INVESTIGATION. WHAT I MEAN IS REVIEW ALL OF THESE MATERIALS HAVE ALL OF THESE CONVERSATIONS. >> AND WHAT'S INTERESTING, TALKING TO PEOPLE HERE, JOE, IS THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY THAT THE DISTRICT WILL PAY AND HIRE THEMSELVES MIGHT BE LOOKING OUT FOR THE DISTRICT. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ALL THESE CIVIL LAWSUITS THAT COULD BE LOOMING. SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. WORRIED IS THE DISTRICT WORRIED ABOUT THE LAWSUITS AND HE'S GOT WHY THEY'RE HIRING A SECURITY COMPANY OR DO THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE AGE IS GOING TO GO AHEAD EITHER WAY, BRIAN, THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU COULD SAY NO TO AN A G INVESTIGATION, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT WILL GO ON EITHER WAY.
BUT LET ME ASK YOU ONE OF THING THAT WE'RE HEARING. >> ABOUT A CALL THAT WAS MADE TO CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ABOUT THE PROBLEM IS WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> YEAH, THIS IS NEW AND INTERESTING REPORTS THAT THERE WAS A NEIGHBOR OF THE CRUMBLEYS 6 OR 7 YEARS AGO. WHO SAYS THAT THE CRUMBLEYS WOULD LEAVE THEIR HOME. GO BAR HOPPING AND GET DRUNK AND LEAVE THEIR SON ETHAN WHO WAS 8 OR 9 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. HOME ALL ALONE AND THERE WAS NOT EVEN A PHONE IN THE HOUSE AND THIS NEIGHBOR SAYS ETHAN, I JUST 8 OR 9 YEARS OLD WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE AND COME AND KNOCK ON THE NEIGHBOR'S DOOR TO USE THE PHONE WHILE THE PARENTS, JENNIFER AND JAMES ARE OUT BAR HOPPING. APPARENTLY THIS WAS REPORTED TO CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ON CLEAR HOW THE INVESTIGATION PANNED OUT. >> NEWS NATION'S BRIAN, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE LIVE TONIGHT FOR US IN OXFORD. JOINING ME NOW TO HELP DIVE INTO SOME OF THE MENTAL HEALTH QUESTIONS RELATING TO THIS STORY IS CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST DOCTOR ADOLPH BROWN.
DOC BROWN IS WHAT HE GOES BY AND HE JOINS US NOW. HUGE. YOU'VE SEEN DOCK. A LOT OF THIS PLAY OUT NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT STAND OUT TO YOU IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, ESPECIALLY INVOLVING THESE PARENTS. >> WELL, I I THINK ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT PARENTS THE ROLE OF PARENTING IS TO GUARD AND TO GUIDE AND THESE PARENTS, AS THEY DID NOT DO THAT. THEY DIDN'T GUARD AND GUIDE PROPERLY OR APPROPRIATELY. AND I THINK WHEN OTHER PARENTS ARE LOOKING AT THIS SITUATION IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL HAVE TO RECOGNIZE, JOE, IS THAT HIS PARENTS? WE REALLY CAN'T TELL OURSELVES TO THE CHOICES ARE CHILDREN MAKE.
THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THESE CHOICES US WHAT WE CAN DO IS DO OUR BEST TO INFLUENCE AND TEACH THEM THE CHOICES MADE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF EVERY DECISION HAS A FUTURE EVERY CHILD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT EVERY DECISION HAVE THE FUTURE AND THAT STARTS AT HOME. >> DAN ROAN: YEAH. SO I KNOW YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS DOCK WHEN WE'VE HAD ENOUGH EXPERIENCE WITH SCHOOL SHOOTINGS TO KNOW AS WELL.
BUT HOW DO STUDENTS GO BACK IN AND HOW DO PARENTS FEEL SAFE ULTIMATELY SENDING THEIR KIDS BACK KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED THERE? >> BUT WHAT PARENTS ARE THE CHIEF TONE FOR SHOW. PARENTS SET THE TONE WHEN WHEN PARENTS THANKS ISN'T AND CONCERNED AND REALLY FEARFUL THE CHILDREN THAT IT'S CONTAGIOUS. NEW PARENTS NEED TO KNOW THINGS THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE DOING TO PROTECT FROM THE BLOC THAT WE DEMONSTRATED ON THE SHOW FROM THEIR SCHOOLS THAT I GO TO WHERE THEY HAVE MARCIA FUDGE AND BASICALLY WHAT THOSE ARE THEIR TEACHERS THAT ARMED IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES. TEACHERS ADMINISTRATORS. NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DULY TRAIN TO TO TO ACTIVE SHOOTER THREAT.
SCHOOLS ARE REALLY PRO ACTIVE IN THIS. THE ISSUE IS IT PARENTS HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO DO OUR DUTIES AT HOME. AND IF PARENTS DON'T REALLY RECOGNIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE ROLE SHIFT THINK ABOUT WHEN. CHILDREN WERE HOME. LEARNING VIRTUALLY AND HOW DIFFICULT THAT WAS FOR PARENTS. SO, I MEAN, WE HAVE TO DO OUR RESPECTIVE ROLES TO MAKE THIS WORK. >> DEMETRIUS IVORY: CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST DOCTOR, IT OFF BROWN DOC BROWN. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU. THANKS FOR THAT. I THANK YOU, GOVERNOR. >> COMPANYWIDE ZOOM CALL GOES VIRAL WASN'T IF YOU'RE ON THIS CALL. PART OF THE UNLUCKY GROUP. IS THE WEIGHT OFF. YOUR EMPLOYMENT. HERE IS TERMINATED. GOOD EVENING. YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. A CEO FIRES 900 PEOPLE WILL RESUME. WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO HELPED THAT VIDEO GO VIRAL AND SPOKE WITH SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES WHO GOT THE BOOT AHEAD. >> PART OF THE UNLUCKY GROUP. JUST A WEIGHT OFF. >> YOUR EMPLOYMENT HERE TERMINATED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. >> GOOD EVENING. >> DAN ROAN: THAT WAS THE CEO MORTGAGE COMPANY. BETTER DOT COM, THE SHELL GAR HOLDING A ZOOM CALL WITH 900 EMPLOYEES LETTING THEM KNOW THEY WERE ALL LOSING THEIR JOBS.
JOINING ME NOW FOR MORE ON TICK TALKER WHO'S BEEN HOT ON THIS STORY AND TALKED WITH A NUMBER OF THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO WERE LET GO KIRA BUOY. >> SO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT HAPPENED HERE. YOU START YOU POST THIS ANY KIND OF TOOK OFF FROM THERE. >> YEAH, IT WAS KIND OF CRAZY. SO I USUALLY FOUND THIS VIDEO ON PROFESSIONAL NETWORK CON SO USUALLY THE VIDEO WAS ON YOU TO POSTED BY SOMEONE BUT THE VIDEO DID NOT HAVE ANY VIEWS. AND SO I WAS NOT, YOU KNOW, HOW DO I GET THIS MORE ATTENTION DINGING. AND YOU KNOW, EXPOSURE BECAUSE HONESTLY THERE, WHICH IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT VIDEO LIKE MANY INITIAL REACTION WAS THAT WHY DO YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF LIKE, YOU KNOW, FOR THE FIRST WANTED UNITS ARE SOUTH. HE KEEPS SAYING I AND ME LIKE I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS. THE LAST TIME I DID THIS, I CRY AS IF YOU KNOW, THE NEWS IS ABOUT HIM IS NOT IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT GOT LAID OFF. AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE DIDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT HIS EMPLOYEES. AND SO THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO SHARE ON TO TELL AND IT'S JUST LIKE TOOK OFF FROM THERE.
>> YEAH, 4 MILLION VIEWS, I GUESS LATER A LOT OF THE WORKERS AS WELL HERE. I GUESS CONTACTED YOU AFTER AFTER YOU STARTED POSTING THINGS, THINGS. WHAT DO THEY TELL YOU? >> YEAH, THEY HAVE TOLD ME MANY THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE PERSON SAID THAT THEY WERE PAID TIME OFF AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE MEETING WAS HAPPENING UNTIL THEY GOT A BUNCH OF TEXTS FROM THE TO KNOCK INTO THE ZOOM MEETING. THEY ALSO SAID THAT CAN LEAD TO LAYOFFS SCENES REALLY RANDOM WITH EVERY DEPARTMENT SO YOU IMPACTED LIKE TOP SO AS PERFORMERS TINA MANAGEMENT THE ENTIRE DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION TEEN AND TO OTHER PEOPLE ALSO TOLD ME THEY WERE NEVER INVITED TO THE MEETING. SO THEY TOOK A NAP. AND WHEN THEY WOKE UP, THEY WERE SIGNED OUT OF EVERYTHING. AND SO IT WAS CRAZY. >> DID WAS THERE ANY INDICATION FROM THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE FIRED THAT THAT THIS WAS COMING BECAUSE I GOT THE IMPRESSION FROM THE CEO, AT LEAST FROM SOME OF WHAT YOU POSTED THAT THIS COMPANY IS DOING VERY WELL. >> YES, APPARENTLY THE COMPANY JUST RECEIVED LIKE 750 MILLION DOLLARS INJECTION FROM SOFTBANK AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO GO THE I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING LIKE OUT.
AND I CHECKED SEALS IN AND IT SAID THAT THE COMPANY GREW 300% THIS YEAR. SO IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE SUFFERING. >> ALRIGHT TIKTOKER CURABLE. THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT. WE APPRECIATE IT. AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU. JOINING ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS TRACY BYRNES OUR FRIENDS UBS FINANCIAL SERVICES. TRACY. I DON'T KNOW. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A WORKER SHORTAGE. WHAT HAPPENED HERE. >> I MEAN, THIS IS LIKE A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF NARCISSISM, RIGHT. IF THIS GUY ACTUALLY DIDN'T THINK THIS WASN'T GOING TO GO VIRAL. I MEAN, AND LOOK, WE ALL KNOW YOU VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT THIS THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THIS DAY IN AGE, WITH HARASSMENT SUITS CHRIS CUOMO JUST GOT FIRED.
I MEAN, THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE WORLD. THAT'S WRONG. THIS THIS GENTLEMAN SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT HE WAS DOING AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IT'S AN AWFUL, AWFUL THING WITH THE HOLIDAYS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. BUT PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND AS YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST. DO WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO DO. MAYBE THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY AND THEY SHOULD TAKE IT AND GO FOR IT ME AND MAYBE IN A IN A SMALL WAY. HE WAS DOING THEM A BIG FAVOR BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO WORK FOR SOMEONE LIKE THAT.
HOW DO YOU NORMALLY. >> JOSH FRYDMAN: I GUESS. LET 900 PEOPLE EMPLOYEES KNOW THAT THEY'RE BEING LET GO. IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS. >> NOW, LOOK, YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT WRONG. THEY'RE RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T HAVE THAT ANSWER. I'VE NEVER BEEN A CEO AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHEN WE'RE NOT IN THE OFFICE, BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY ESPECIALLY AS YOUR PREVIOUS GUEST JUST SAID, HAVE SOME OF THEM MISSED A MEETING. THEY SLEPT RIGHT THROUGH IT. RIGHT. SO AT LEAST MAYBE TAKE THE TIME. WHAT COULD IT TAKE YOU A DAY, DAY AND A HALF TON TO PERSONALLY TELL PEOPLE AND APOLOGIZE AND EXPLAIN THE RATIONALE BEHIND IT BECAUSE THEN YOU GOT NONE OF THAT WITH THIS ZOOM CALL, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I'VE SEEN ANYWHERE FROM BETWEEN 10% AND 15% OF THE WORKFORCE.
THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> IT'S A TON OF PEOPLE AND AGAIN, AS SHE SAID THERE IN GROWTH MODE. HE DID NOT SOUND LIKE A GREAT PERSON TO WORK FOR THOUGH. AND SO I THINK EVENTUALLY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE PROBABLY CALLED IT QUITS. MANY DID A BUNCH OF HIS TOP LEVEL CEO PEOPLE LEFT RIGHT AFTER THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T AGREE THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO THIS. SO IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS NOT A GREAT WORK CULTURE TO BEGIN WITH, RIGHT. WELL, THAT I WAS GOING TO ASK, WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS DOES TO TO THE COMPANY'S REPUTATION. >> AGAIN, I THINK PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, NOWADAYS, JOE, ESPECIALLY POST COVID PEOPLE ARE TRULY I SEE THE WAY THEY INVEST.
THEY INVEST WITH THEIR HEARTS IN THEIR YOU CAN YOU CAN MOVE YOUR DOLLARS TO WHERE YOU WANTED TO GO. AND IF YOU NEED A MORTGAGE, THERE ARE OPTIONS OUT THERE FOR YOU. IF INDEED YOU DISAGREED WITH THE WAY THIS WENT DOWN. I DON'T THINK THIS IS. >> THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR THE COMPANY GOING FORWARD. RIGHT THE LAST TIME WE TALKED WHEN WE CALLED THE THIS SANTA CLAUS MARKET AT THE END OF THE YEAR. WHAT IS IT CALLED? SANTA CLAUS RALLY THE RALLY. THAT'S RIGHT. WE NOT BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THE MARKETS ARE ARE AT RECORD HIGHS. AND I GUESS WHAT THE NASDAQ TODAY WAS THE BEST DAY SINCE MARCH. >> IT HAPPENS. IT'S IT'S KIND OF CRAZY HOW IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR. BUT I IT'S ALSO PART OF THE CYCLE. A LOT PEOPLE TAKE PROFITS. LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE MONEY OUT OF THE MARKET AND HEDGE FUNDS IN PARTICULAR. THEY CLOSE THEIR BOOKS IN NOVEMBER. AND THEY SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE DID GOOD. WHY RISK THE LAST THE END OF THE MONTH.
SO YOU DO SEE SOME SELLING. YOU SEE TAX LAW SELLING MUCH OF THAT MIGHT BE DONE BY NOW. SO WE'RE SLOWLY GETTING OURSELVES BACK TO NORMAL. YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS. THE ECONOMY SEEMS TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE ARE TONS OF OPEN JOBS OUT THERE. COMPANIES BALANCE SHEETS ARE STILL PRETTY STRONG EARNINGS FOR 4TH QUARTER PROBABLY GOING TO BE PRETTY GOOD. SO WE JUST HAVE A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, OVERSELLING OVER BUYING. THEY MOVED IT AROUND A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH OMICRON SCARED, A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. I THINK WE'RE SELLING OUT AND I THINK A SANTA WILL MAKE IT AFTER THE OTHER GOOD NEWS WE GOT TRACY, IS THAT. >> I MEAN, THE THE LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT NATURAL GAS PRICES. THEY WERE HIGH AND WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT THAT GOING INTO THE WINTER.
BUT NOW WE'RE HEARING THAT THE FUTURES ARE DOWN 40% SINCE OCTOBER. SO THIS MIGHT BE MORE GOOD NEWS. PEOPLE WILL BE PAYING LESS TO HEAT THEIR HOMES. THIS WINTER. >> RIGHT. CORRECT. AND AGAIN, I THINK A LITTLE OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT PEOPLE GOT SCARED BY THIS NEW COVID VARIANT VARIANT A TRIP TRAVEL MAY OR MAY NOT BE CHANGED BECAUSE OF IT. BUT THAT SAID, EVERYTHING SETTLES OUT IN DUE TIME RIGHT. I TELL MY KIDS, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO TAKE A BREATH. YOU DON'T KNOW KNEE JERK REACTIONS. EVERYTHING SETTLES ITSELF OUT. >> AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE. ALL RIGHT. IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAVY TRACY BYRNES, OUR FRIEND FROM UBS FINANCIAL. TAKE CARE. ON BALANCE WITH LELAND VITTERT STARTS AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR. AND HE JOINS US NOW WITH A PREVIEW. WHAT HE HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S GOING TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.
BUT NEW RECORD NUMBERS OF PEOPLE CROSSING THE BORDER ILLEGALLY UP 163% FROM THIS TIME LAST YEAR. SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT, HOW THE REMAIN IN MEXICO POLICY, THE PRESIDENT BY JUST PUT IN IS NOT SITTING WELL WITH DEMOCRATS. YOU'RE LOOKING AT VIDEO OF ONE OF THE LATEST CARAVAN IS NOW HEADING UP NORTH THROUGH MEXICO TALK TO A REPORTER WHO'S BEEN WITH THAT CARIBBEAN AND TALKING TO THEM ABOUT WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN'S POLICIES MEAN AND ALSO THAT WE REPORT CAPITOL HILL ABOUT THE INFIGHTING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ABOUT IT. WHY ARE THEY AGAINST DEMOCRATS? WHY ARE DEMOCRATS AGAINST REMAIN IN MEXICO BECAUSE IT FORCES PEOPLE WHO COME ACROSS AND CLAIM ASYLUM TO GO BACK TO MEXICO TO WAIT FOR THEIR ASYLUM CLAIMS TO BE ADJUDICATED STARTING ON JANUARY 20TH JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS INAUGURATED.
HE ELIMINATED REMAIN IN MEXICO THAT MEANT IF YOU CAME HERE WITH A UNDER AGE CHILD IN CLAIMED ASYLUM. YOU SAID YOU WERE OUT SALVADOR. YOU ARE SCARED OF A GANG. YOU'VE GOT LEAD INTO THE UNITED STATES IMMEDIATELY AND THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT FROM UNTIL NOW, LET'S CHANGE. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH, I GUESS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S ONLY IN EL PASO AND SAN DIEGO AGAINST US. YEAH. RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND OTHERS ARE DOING ALL RIGHT. WE'LL SEE AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR.
