>> Jesse: THERE IS A CRISIS OF
DISTURBED YOUNG MEN IN OUR
COUNTRY.
THEY FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS OF
SOCIETY AND OFTENTIMES LAND IN
THE DARK CREVASSES OF THE
INTERNET.
INSTEAD OF SEEKING LOVE AND
ACCEPTANCE OR SIMPLE HUMAN
INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE IN
THEIR COMMUNITY, THEY SEEK
APPROVAL FROM OTHER LOST SOULS
ONLINE.
SOMETIMES RATIONALIZE AND TAKE
THEIR HATRED OUT ON THE INNOCENT
PEOPLE.
THE STARK RISE IN MASS SCHOOL
SHOOTINGS IS APPARENT.
THERE HAVE BEEN 14 SINCE
COLUMBINE KILLING 169 PEOPLE.
MANY WANT TO BLAME IT ON GUNS.
BUT AMERICANS HAVE BEEN LEGALLY
ARMED SINCE 1776.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT OVER
THE LAST FEW DECADES, WE HAVE
SEEN THE COLLAPSE OF THE NUCLEAR
FAMILY, DIVORCE RATES HAVE
SKYROCKETED, IF THERE WAS EVER A
MARRIAGE AT ALL.
AND FATHERS HAVE LEFT THE
PICTURE.
OUT OF THE MASS SCHOOL SHOOTINGS
WHERE 10 OR MORE PEOPLE WERE
KILLED.
MOST OF THE SHOOTERS DIDN’T HAVE
A DAD IN THEIR LIFE.
IT’S ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT
THE SHOOTERS HAVE IN COMMON.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE IS DOWN IN
AMERICA.
AND COVID HAS FORCED YOUNG
AMERICANS INTO ISOLATION.
AND WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND
OF DAMAGE SOCIAL MEDIA IS DOING
TO THE BRAINS OF YOUNG
AMERICANS.
BUT THE MEDIA AND THE
POLITICIANS DON’T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT.
THEY ARE TO OBJECT SAYSED WITH
THE HOW, THE WEAPON USED,
INSTEAD OF THE WHY.
WHAT BROUGHT THE PERSON TO A
PLACE WHERE THEY WANTED TO KILL
CHILDREN?
AND HOW OUR SOCIETY IS MISSING
WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE
OUR OWN EYES.
IT’S IMPORTANT WE ASK THESE
QUESTIONS AND LOOK INTO THE
CULTURAL FACTORS.
MARCO RUBIO IS A SENATOR FROM
FLORIDA WHO JOINS US NOW.
SENATOR, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IN
PLAY HERE?
IT CAN’T BE ALL ABOUT GUNS?
THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOMETHING
ELSE?
>> YEAH, I MEAN I THINK THE
ANSWERINTROACTUALLY TOUCHES UPON
IT’S NOT THE HOW BUT THE WHY IN
THE SENSE THAT THESE ARE PEOPLE
WHO WANT TO HARM PEOPLE IN A
MASS SCALE AND THE INSTRUMENT
THEY USE IN MANY CASES ARE GUNS.
BUT THAT SENTIMENT OF WANTING TO
HURT PEOPLE IS THE ONE WE NEED
TO REALLY FOCUS ON.
I DON’T KNOW IF THERE IS A
BLANKET FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THESE.
I’M CERTAINLY NOT SCHOOLING JUST
OR SOCIALIST BUT I HAVE READ A
LOT ABOUT THESE THINGS BECAUSE I
WANT TO BECOME INFORMED OF THE
ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU IS WE
DO HAVE TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR RISK
ASSESSMENT.
ONE OF THE WAYS SECRET SERVICE
PROTECTS IS PRESIDENTS THE NO
NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THE PHYSICAL
PROTECTION ALONE THEY ARE ABLE
TO PROFILE AND IDENTIFY PEOPLE
THAT THEY BELIEVE POSE A THREAT
TO A PRESIDENT OR AUTO LEADER
AND ARE ABLE TO GO TO THEM AND
PREVENT THEM FROM ACTING.
THAT SAME SYSTEM THAT IS ABLE TO
IDENTIFY THAT THAT RISK
ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL EXISTS FOR
THINGS LIKE MASS SHOOTING THE
QUESTION BECOMES CAN HAVE YOU
TOOLS IN PLACE TO IDENTIFY AND
INTERVENE BEFORE PEOPLE TAKE
THAT NEXT STEP?
AND OFTENTIMES THAT’S DIFFICULT
TO DO BECAUSE IN THE CASE OF A
SCHOOL, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE
BUILT UP A CULTURE IN MANY
PLACES WHERE WE DON’T WANT TO
CRIMINALIZE 16 AND 17-YEAR-OLDS.
WE DON’T WANT LAW ENFORCEMENT
HANGING AROUND THE SCHOOL CAMPUS
AND STIGMATIZE THESE PEOPLE.
MANY SHOOTINGS LAS VEGAS BEING
ONE OF THE EXCEPTIONS GUY STILL
DON’T NOTE TOO MUCH ABOUT THE
MOTIVATION BEHIND THAT TERRIBLE
TRAGEDY OTHERS ARE PEOPLE THAT
DIDN’T JUST SNAP FROM ONE MOMENT
TO THE NEXT.
WE WILL LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS
MURDERER BUT WE KNOW ABOUT THE
ONE IN FLORIDA.
WE KNOW ABOUT THE ONE IN OTHER
PLACES.
AND THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT, FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME, ARE HEADED IN
THIS DIRECTION AND THERE WAS
NOTHING IN PLACE TO CATCH IT AND
STOP IT FROM HAPPENING BEFORE IT
GOT TO THAT POINT.
>> Jesse: THAT’S INTERESTING
YOUR SECRET SERVICE ANALOGY
BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT.
THEY SEND THESE LETTERS OR THEY
MAKE THESE THREATS.
AND THEN THE SECRET SERVICE WILL
PAY THEM A VISIT.
AND KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND THEY
WILL SAY HEY, MIKE, WHAT’S GOING
ON?
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
AND THEN EVEN WHEN THE PRESIDENT
GOES INTO THAT CITY THEY HAVE A
WHOLE LIST OF PEOPLE THAT THEY
GO CHECK ON.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE
NEAR THE EVENT, ARE YOU?
YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED -- WHO WOULD
THAT LOOK IN SCHOOL?
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE
TRIED TO BRING UP IN
LEGISLATION?
AND HAVE THE DEMOCRATS AGREED
WITH THAT.
>> WELL, WE HAVE AND ACTUALLY
THERE ARE PROGRAMS IN PLACE THAT
FUND THAT AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO
THAT AND CONTINUE TO FUND IT
EVERYWHERE SINCE.
WE LED THAT EARTH EFFORT AFTER
PARKLAND.
LOOK IT HAS TO BE MULTI
DISCIPLINARY.
INPUT FROM ALL TYPES OF PLACES
MIGHT BE LAW ENFORCEMENT
INTERACTION COMBINED WITH WHAT A
SCHOOL COUNSELOR OAR TEACHER IS
SEE ORGANIZE FAMILY MEMBER OR
PARENT IS REPORTING.
ALL OF THESE THINGS COME INTO A
CENTRAL LOCATION INSTEAD OF
BEING BIFURCATED IT’S A USEFUL
TOOL AND ONE WE SHOULD USE MORE.
UNFORTUNATELY SOMEONE OUT THERE
RIGHT NOW THAT WILL BE THE NEXT
SCHOOL SHOOTER BECAUSE THEY ARE
WATCHING THIS STUFF ON TV AND
IT’S GOING TO INSPIRE THEM TO
ACT.
A TEENAGER THING.
>> Jesse: I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.
YOU CREATE A LITTLE THREAT
MATRIX FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT
THAT IDENTIFIES PEOPLE BASED ON
A NUMBER OF FACTORS AND THEN YOU
JUST -- YOU ARE MORE AWARE.
I THINK THAT’S REALLY SMART.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING ON
"PRIMETIME" AND THANKS FOR
EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING FOR THE
