Hey, welcome back to the Bill Bennett Show. It's the podcast that takes a deeper look at the news of the day, the current administration helping you and me translate Trump.

Joel Farkas, director of the American Strategy Group, will join us to discuss Wall Street and Main Street,

the connection between the real world and the real world of markets.

Also Larry Cudlow, host of the Larry Cudlow show, usually talks to you about economics and finance

he'll join me to talk about America's opioid problem you'll be surprised how

much he knows. But first few things on my mind we've got I don't want to take a lot of time but a

lots going on in Washington and Trump administration I got to address a number of

these things just even if even if quickly all of course the headlines are the Florida

shooting the Parkland Florida the high school shooting. Debates going on. Fine.

Engage the debate. I was very taken with the story of Peter Wang, there was a

student at the high school. He died helping students during the shooting and he

was in his uniform. He dreamt of attending West Point. He was in his junior ROTC uniform holding a school door open so classmates and faculty could escape 15 years old and he was given posthumous admission

to West Point, which was his dream. Always look for the silver lining here. Meanwhile a lot of very passionate

zealous students are on the road to Tallahassee to Washington. Their passion zeal

is understandable. It does not constitute an argument. They should be listened to. Nevertheless, things need to be decided on their merits.

And I got to say, I mean, I understand the perennial warning signs that were out everywhere. Claude two calls the FBI won back when and he could have said,

well, that, you know, that was just one thing on the internet.

Guy wants to be a school shooter, but then they had an alert in January

from someone close to the shooter saying all sorts of things and it was a classic tip, you know, see something, say something, and someone did and the FBI got it and did nothing with it.

Man, it doesn't do this much good when the system collapses like that.

I want to say something else, which I understand to be based in fact, that when this occurred, a lot of the students at the moment simultaneously

were shortly thereafter, guessed that it was this guy who had been thrown out.
