338: Uvalde School Shooting Tragedy. Tactical Response Assessment.

A room full of kids, there's a guy in there, he's shooting. You go. There's not a debate. You go. That's what you do. You go. You go through the windows, you breach the doors, you do whatever you gotta do to get in there. That's what you do.

If you say to me, what kind of a world are we living in where we need to put armed guards in schools? I will say the United States of America. Do I like it? Do I like the fact that we have to do that? No.

Police need more training ... 20% of working hours for police should be spent training.

Training people for stressful, dynamic, dangerous situations—and that's what we need to do with our law enforcement. We need to train them properly. Because we owe it to them. We owe it to our police and law enforcement to train them properly. We owe it to the law-abiding citizens of this country. And, of course, we owe it to the innocent children.

In 1955, there were 340 inpatient beds for every 100,000 people in America that needed mental health help. 340 beds for every 100,000 citizens ... In 2007, there was 17.

When you get a shooter that's in the vicinity of a school, there's got to be a really good lockdown protocol that happens ... If you have a shooter that's external to the school, lock the doors. But when you have a shooter that's in the school, everyone should get the hell out of the school. You shouldn't keep people in the school anymore.

I've heard some people talk about the horrible idea of, or what seems like a horrible idea of, turning schools into, you know, bunkers-type thing ... No one wants to bring their kids to a school where the school feels like it's a reverse prison... But there is a way to properly secure schools where it doesn't look like some prison camp.

Does this mean that your kid feels like he's going to school in a damn prison because there's a plain-clothed security guard there? I'm okay with that. Do I love it? No, I don't. But this is not that big of a price to pay to keep kids safe.

If you didn't already get the signal that there's a freaking gunman in the school and you haven't done everything you can to get in there and now that gunman is shooting again, that's another blaring signal to get your ass in there.

If you were in a hostage situation with some crazy person in your house, who would you rather have show up: 10 untrained people or 8 highly trained people? And if you're not sure about that, let me tell you, because I guarantee you, all day long, I'll take 8 highly trained people over 10 untrained people all day.

There's no more reason that you would be able to fight or lead without training than you would be able to play a guitar without training.
