Trump just made the incredibly dangerous decision of appointing an inexperienced 22-year-olds who just

0:07.5

graduated from college as the person in charge of domestic terrorism in this country.

0:13.9

Was it on purpose? Was this just because he was a heritage foundation loyalist, or is more domestic terrorism something he needs

0:25.3

to push his authoritarian agenda? My name is Dean Adol with a Midas Touch Network. Let's break

0:31.2

this down. Now, ProPublica is reporting on this really quite shocking appointment. And we have seen Trump appoint people

0:40.6

unqualified to very important positions. We've seen it with Pete Heggseth. We've seen it with

0:46.4

the Secretary of Education. They go in front of their committees. I mean, Christy Noem couldn't

0:50.6

understand habeas corpus. We've seen that being qualified for the role is not

0:56.1

something he cares about as much as how somebody looks in front of the camera, talks in front of

1:00.9

the camera. But this, this feels even a step too far for that traditionalist anti-DEI crowd.

1:28.7

his name is Thomas Fugate. And he is, he graduated literally last year from college. This person is

1:40.1

perhaps the most unqualified person you can think of. They said that people involved with the Department of Homeland Security said that he's so

1:48.9

unqualified because he seems to have no national security expertise whatsoever that he

1:55.8

wouldn't even typically be interviewed for a job at the program that he's now in charge of, that unqualified.

2:07.6

The program he is now in charge of is the government's main hub to combat terrorism in this country. It includes an 18 million grant program in order

2:23.0

to combat violent extremism, which we have had plenty of. Now, this program not only deals

2:31.5

with domestic terrorism, but also deals with school shootings and other targeted violence.

2:37.9

Again, perhaps it's uniquely American, these school shootings.

2:41.8

They are happening more often, not less often.
