10-6: Firing Squad Approved For Fort Hood Terrorist. Should We Televise It?

Uh, let's go back in time here for a little second, and it's a terrible, horrific, horrifying story.

And I'll never forget, there were certain times-- In two thousand and nine, so I was still in the information business, but this in a, in a music radio format.

This is how long ago this was.

I remember breaking this story and talking about it, and could not understand, like most people in the country did, how this kind of thing happens.

Because you hear...

You know, again, remember what two thousand and nine was.

We didn't have-- We had phones.

We didn't have the instant information like we do right now, and instant reaction and instant details.

And you might not remember this, but sometimes it took many hours and then sometimes days before you got the true story of what's going on.

That's different today.

This is two thousand and nine now we're talking about.

Remember hearing Fort Hood shooting.

That's horrific.

Some sort of maybe, maybe sort of some sort of an, uh, army psychiatrist involved in this whole thing that may have been...

Then they found out later on that he was the actual shooter.

And then the predo- dominant question that happened with everybody, including me, was, "Hold on, it's an army base.

What-- How did a shooter shoot that many people?" And the horrific tragedy was, killed thirteen people and wounded thirty-two others, shouting, "God is great." We all said, we all said, "How-- If it's-- Why didn't they just-- It takes a long time to kill that many people and w- and maim that many people.

How did they not take him out on an army base?" And for the first time, for a lot of us in this country, we learned what a gun-free zone was.

A, a, an army base with trained shooters were not able to take out a terrorist within their ranks because they weren't armed within the, within the ranks.

That's the insanity that had been creeping up into our country, including in the military.

And Pete Hegseth has had plenty of say, to, to say about that here recently.

But let's go back.

We'll give you the story.

Here's some more details.

This is every, every major news network talking about this thing right now.
