CNN host Jake Tapper sparred with Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo on "State of the Union" Sunday over his push to end all school vaccine mandates in his state.At a news conference Wednesday, Ladapo outlined his plan to end "every last one" of the vaccine mandates for Florida schoolchildren, including those for polio and measles.Tapper asked Ladapo whether he had any projection of how many new cases of these diseases Florida could expect without the mandates. Ladapo answered that he did not make any projection, arguing that his decision was "very clearly" about parents rights. Tapper grew skeptical at the response."Youre trying to lift the vaccine mandate in Florida, and your department, and you did not even do a projection as to how this could impact public health?" Tapper asked. "So you have not prepared hospitals in the Florida counties, most at risk, with the best treatments for any outbreaks of measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, polio. And you have not looked into how many kids might now get these preventable diseases? Thats what youre saying?"DR. MARC SIEGEL: WITH VACCINES, PERSONAL CHOICE ENDS WHERE COMMUNITY RISK BEGINS"No, thats what you said," Dr. Ladapo replied. "What Im saying is that its an issue of right and wrong in terms of whether parents should be able to control, have ultimate authority over what happens to their kids bodies."Tapper emphasized that no other state has tried removing vaccine mandates and that the move "goes against whats recommended by every top medical organization." Ladapo stood by his plan and recalled his past opposition to lockdowns and vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite popular opinion at the time."I have to say just, Im veryIm kind of shocked that you have not done any sort of projection or data analysis of what this is actually going to literally mean for kids in Florida," Tapper responded.The CNN anchor then asked what message Ladapos plan sends to parents of immunocompromised children who rely on herd immunity."You talk about liberty and freedom for parents, but it seems like youre removing liberty and freedom for the parents of kids who are immunocompromised," Tapper said."Its an interesting way to conceive that, to sort of describe that," Ladapo said. "But I dont think thats the dynamic at all [Parents]are the ultimate arbiters of what happens with their children. Thats how it should be. And thats why my position will never change, because that will always be true. It will always be true that parents should be able to decide what goes on, what goes into their kids bodies. I mean, its not complex at all."RFK JR. DETAILS HOW HE PLANS ON RESTORING PUBLIC TRUST IN THE CDC IN NEW OP-EDFox News Digital reached out to the Florida Department of Health for comment.Florida currently requires eight vaccinations for children attending childcare, preschool, and K12 schools, including diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP); inactivated poliovirus (IPV, polio); and measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR).Ladapos plan has received mixed reactions since his announcement on Wednesday. On Friday, President Donald Trump called eliminating vaccine mandates a "tough" position to take, adding that some "vaccines should be used."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"You have some vaccines that are so incredible, and I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don't have to be vaccinated. It's a very tough position it's a tough stance," Trump said.

President Donald Trump's federalization of the D.C. police department and crackdown on Washington crime overwhelmingly benefited Black Americans, who are common victims of violent crimes, crime data found."You go 13 days without a homicide occurring. Those homicides would have invariably been very heavily Black," Crime Prevention Research Center Founder and President John Lott told Fox News Digital in a Wednesday phone interview. "And so those lives, you have Blacks who didn't die, who otherwise would have died."Lott published data in August focusing on Washington, D.C.'s 13-day run of zero homicides following Trump federalizing the city's police department, deploying National Guard members to the streets, and unleashing federal law enforcement agencies to assist with arrests and crime sweeps of the city. There were no recorded homicides in the city beginning the afternoon of Aug. 13 through the early morning hours of Aug. 26, according to police data, with the streak ending when a 31-year-old man was fatally shot Aug. 26.TRUMP DECLARES DC A 'CRIME FREE ZONE' AMID HIS FEDERAL CRACKDOWNUsing the city's homicide rate from the first seven months of 2025, Lott found there was a 0.37% probability of such a homicide-free streak occurring on its own. The figure is based on D.C. crime data that is currently under Department of Justice investigation for claims the police department manipulated crime data to publish more favorable stats.The streak of no homicides overwhelmingly benefits Black Americans, the data found. Between 2019 and 2021, Black victims accounted for 96% of all homicides in the District, the report found."You have others that are there that are going out and claiming that Trump's policies are racist. Who are the victims of these crimes?" Lott asked, referring to Democrat politicians who have rejected Trump's plans to roll out similar crime crackdowns in other cities notorious for crime woes.Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, for example, recently argued that incarceration of criminals is "racist" and "immoral."TRUMP CLAIMS 'WE'RE AGAINST CRIME. DEMOCRATS LIKE CRIME'"We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence; weve already tried that, and weve ended up with the largest prison population in the world without solving the problems of crime and violence," Johnson said during an August press conference, the New York Post reported."The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, weve moved past that," he said. "It is racist, it is immoral, it is unholy, and it is not the way to drive violence down."The zero homicide count during the 13-day August period follows the city experiencing a 16-day run of zero homicides between Feb. 24 to March 13. Lott noted, however, crimes typically increase in the summer months when residents spend more time outdoors and the days are longer compared to the winter months."Homicides usually peak during the summer months, yet D.C. does not provide an accessible historical breakdown by month," Lott reported of the data. "As a result, including unusually low months such as February and March in the totals for the first seven months of 2025 or even in the full-year total for 2024 artificially lowers those figures compared to the August period we are examining. If we had the data to adjust for this seasonal variation, the results would likely appear even more statistically significant."RADICAL DC OFFICIALS TREATED OFFICERS LIKE CRAP, POLICE LEADER SAYS 7 ATTACKS THAT LED TO TRUMP TAKEOVERTrump repeatedly has floated sending the National Guard into Chicago to combat the city's crime, while Johnson and Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker have shunned such talk as unnecessary."If it sounds to you like I am alarmist, that is because I am ringing an alarm," Pritzker told the media in August. "Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. city to punish its dissidents and score political points. If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is: a dangerous power-grab.""The president of the United States is doing this for theatrics," Pritzker added. "This is not because we've asked for it. It is not because there is some justice that he is going to seek. It is because he wants to create chaos."Chicago has long been a notoriously dangerous U.S. city, with summer weekends often resulting in dozens of shooting injuries and deaths. The homicide rate for the city in 2024, however, sat at about 17.4 homicides per 100,000 people, which is far lower than rates in more dangerous cities such as Memphis, Tennessee which saw 40.6 homicides per 100,000 people in 2024.If the Trump administration is aiming to save the most lives, however, heading to Chicago before Memphis, Tennessee, would fulfill that goal, Lott explained.BLUE CITIES IN TRUMPS CROSSHAIRS AFTER DC POLICE TAKEOVER"Should you look at the murder rate or the number of lives to be saved? If saving most lives is the goal, in 2024, Chicago (recorded) 573 murders, Memphis 242," Lott wrote in an X post comparing the two cities.Trump's presidential campaign included repeated vows to bring crime down across the U.S. following the nation's bloody trends that began in 2020 amid the defund the police protests and riots that summer. He federalized D.C. Aug. 11 under section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to assume emergency control of the capital's police force for 30 days.There have been 1,914 total arrests in D.C. as of Sept. 5 since the crackdown began in August, including illegal immigrants, those with outstanding warrants, individuals carrying illegal firearms or drugs and other crimes.Lott said the operation will also have indirect benefits to D.C. residents, especially its poorest locals who have suffered with stores closing in recent years due to crime and costs of operating in a city rocked by crime."Anybody who goes to a CVS or Walgreens knows everything's behind plexiglass there," he said. "You want to go and buy something, you have to wait for a clerk to come over, unlock the things for you and then stand next to you while you read the packages and try to figure out what you want to buy. Those are really huge costs that those businesses have to have. That means the products that you have are more expensive. So if you're a poor person who lives in D.C., there, one of the stores that you may have frequented are going to be closed, so you may have to go farther to shop.""The jobs that people had for working in those stores are lost," he explained. "And the ones that stay in business, their prices go up. And so that means the poor people have to spend more of their money in order to go and buy anything there. So all those are bad things that are happening."

Researchers believe they may have the next, better version of Ozempic in the works.At Tufts University, scientists have developed a new drug that aims to boost weight loss while also reducing the nausea, muscle loss and weight regain associated with popular GLP-1 medications.The goal is for the "quadruple-action" medication to achieve long-lasting weight loss of up to 30% matching the effectiveness of bariatric surgery, which reduces the size of the stomach, according to a study press release.COULD GLP-1 WEIGHT-LOSS MEDICATIONS LIKE OZEMPIC BECOME THE 'EVERYTHING DRUG'?Semaglutide medications, like Ozempic and Wegovy, mimic the natural hormone GLP1 (glucagonlike peptide1), while tirzepatides (such as Mounjaro and Zepbound) target both GLP-1 receptors and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors.The new medication from Tufts targets a combination of four hormones GLP-1, GIP, glucagon (the counterpart to insulin), and peptide YY, which reduces hunger, slows stomach emptying and may promote fat-burning."We built a single experimental peptide that works like four hormones at once, so were not pushing one button too hard," lead author Tristan Dinsmore, PhD, a researcher at Tufts University, told Fox News Digital.5 PROTEIN-PACKED CARBS THAT CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT AND BUILD MUSCLE, DIETITIAN SAYS"Instead, were nudging four dimmer switches together to manage appetite, blood sugar and energy use."Because GLP1 and PYY can contribute to nausea at higher doses, the researchers relied on GIP, which is known to ease nausea, to "balance things out," Dinsmore said."Beyond helping with fullness and glucose control, GIP signaling has antinausea effects it can even block nausea in preclinical models, which is why we prioritize it in the mix," he went on."By adding PYY to the GLP1/GIP/glucagon trio, we hope to rely less on GLP1 and glucagon to drive weight loss, potentially lowering the chance of nausea (from GLP1/PYY) and high blood sugar risk (from glucagon) while keeping the benefits."The medication is still in the experimental/preclinical stage and has not yet been tested in human trials.The drugs development was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.Dr. Brett Osborn, a Florida neurosurgeon and longevity expert, is a strong advocate for GLP-1 medications."Single-agent GLP-1s like Ozempic work for most people," Osborn, who was not involved in the Tufts study, told Fox News Digital. "Side effects are manageable when an experienced physician supervises you.""We dont need more medications to treat the same chronic problem that has increasingly burdened the world," he added. "There are plenty of highly effective GLP-1 agonists right in front of us."The biggest risks with GLP-1s is muscle loss and malnutrition from undereating, he said. To prevent this, the doctor emphasizes the need for adequate daily protein and consistent strength training.To treat the "chronic" disease of obesity, Osborn recommends microdosing or intermittent dosing of GLP-1s, paired with nutrition, progressive resistance training, hydration and sleep.MEDITERRANEAN DIET PAIRED WITH OTHER LIFESTYLE CHANGES SLASHES DIABETES RISK"Essentially, use the medicine that works and combine it with disciplined habits," he advised. "Ive used this approach for years, as have many of my patients, with excellent long-term tolerance."Sue Decotiis, M.D., a medical weight loss doctor in New York City, noted that controlling appetite, enhancing metabolism and increasing fat burning while also balancing the interactions of blood sugar and insulin is a "complex function.""The additional mechanisms offered by new drugs may help some, but not necessarily most weight-loss patients," Decotiis, who was also not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital."Even with new mechanisms added to weight-loss medications, individual patients will have varied responses in the amount of fat they lose."She noted that her patients who take GLP-1s do not typically experience muscle and bone loss."Good care in medical weight loss should include following patients with a body composition scale and monitoring protein, fiber and excellent hydration," she said.There were some limitations of the new drug, the researchers acknowledged."This is design research that showcases the potential for the next generation and perhaps even tailored drugs," Dinsmore told Fox News Digital. "Our data come from cellbased assays, not animals or humans (yet).""Choosing the safest, most effective balance of the four pathways will require invivo (living) studies and clinical trials."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERPeople using GLP1based drugs should stick with their clinicians guidance, Dinsmore advised."This is not a medicine you can get today," he said of the new medication. "Our work is a nextgeneration concept that aims to improve results and reduce nausea by spreading the work across four hormones rather than overloading one."Obesity is estimated to affect over 40% of American adults and has been linked to dozens of diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and several types of cancer.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"What drives us is the idea that we can design a single drug to treat obesity and simultaneously mitigate the risk of developing a long list of health problems plaguing society," said co-study author Krishna Kumar, Robinson Professor of Chemistry at Tufts.

Jury selection begins Monday in Fort Pierce, Fla., in the high-profile federal trial of Ryan Routh, who is accused of plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club in September 2024.Jury selection is expected to wrap up Wednesday.Prospective jurors are drawn from voter rolls and drivers license records in the Southern District of Florida. They are brought in and questioned under oath a process known as voir dire to determine whether they can be fair and impartial. The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Florida is leading the prosecution.Both prosecutors and Routh, representing himself, will question jurors directly an unusual dynamic that could make proceedings unpredictable.TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SUSPECT RYAN ROUTH CHALLENGES PRESIDENT TO ROUND OF GOLFBoth sides can challenge jurors "for cause" if bias is clear. They also get a limited number of peremptory strikes, where they can dismiss jurors without giving a reason, so long as its not discriminatory.A 12-person jury, plus alternates, will be seated. Federal law requires a unanimous verdict for conviction.Routh is charged with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, along with assaulting a federal officer and a string of gun violations. Federal prosecutors say the counts carry a potential life sentence if hes found guilty. He has pleaded not guilty to all federal charges, as well as separate state counts of terrorism and attempted murder.Trump is not a defendant in this case.TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SUSPECT RYAN ROUTH CAN'T SEE CLASSIFIED INFO RELATING TO CASE, JUDGE RULESTrump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon approved Rouths request to act as his own attorney, though court-appointed lawyers will remain on standby to step in if needed.Federal public defenders representing Routh sought Cannon's recusal, citing her prior involvement in Trumps classified documents case. Court filings show that request was denied, keeping Cannon randomly assigned to the case on the bench.Prosecutors say Routh spent weeks plotting the attack, even camping out near Trumps golf course for 12 hours with a rifle. A Secret Service agent spotted the weapon and opened fire after Routh allegedly aimed at him, forcing Routh to drop the gun and run. Months later, investigators said they found a letter addressed "Dear World," in which Routh admitted regret that he failed to kill Trump. Court filings also allege that just weeks before his arrest in August 2024, Routh was trying to obtain anti-aircraft weapons and hire someone to monitor Trumps flights.SECRET SERVICE THWARTS POTENTIAL THREAT NEAR TRUMP'S WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS WITH RAPID RESPONSECLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPOpening statements are scheduled to begin Sept. 11 and the trial is expected to last two weeks.Fox News Digital has reached out to the Trump administration for comment.

Gold continues to shine brightly, hitting new all-time highs. A confluence of factors, from central banks around the world on net reducing their U.S. dollar reserve holdings in favor of gold to concerns over inflation, have been lifting the safe-haven precious metals price.But there is one factor that continues to dim golds luster: its tax treatment.Gold has been money, both as a store of value and sometimes a medium exchange, for around 5,000 years. It increasingly plays a role in protecting your earnings from the inflation generated by bad governance reducing the purchasing power of U.S. dollars and other fiat currency. But gold isnt treated for tax purposes like holding U.S. dollars in cash or even U.S. Treasuries. Its tax treatment isnt even that of a stock or cryptocurrency. It is treated as a collectible, engendering a very high taxation rate for many holders.OLYMPIC DIVING LEGEND GREG LOUGANIS ADMITS TO SELLING GOLD MEDALS BECAUSE HE 'NEEDED THE MONEY' TO MOVEPrecious metals, including gold, are characterized by the IRS as collectibles. The same goes for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that are physically backed by gold or other precious metals. It is a bit of a head-scratcher as to why collectibles have a different tax treatment than other stores of value or assets, or why any precious metals that are being used as commodities and safe havens and not sought out for their rarity (such as a rare coin) are thought of as collectibles.For collectibles, long-term capital gains have a top tax rate of 28%; those eight percentage points equal a 40% higher top tax rate than the 20% long-term capital gains top rate on assets like stocks, real estate and Bitcoin. The rate you personally pay depends on your marginal income tax bracket. (Short-term gains are treated as ordinary income.)For high earners, you may also be hit with a 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) that came along as part of the Affordable Care Act. Some states also will enact additional taxes for gains on sales of precious metals and their ETF proxies.ANCIENT CIVILIZATION'S GOLD COINS, LUXURY ARTIFACTS UNEARTHED DURING 'UNPRECEDENTED' DIGThe U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have been cavalier about your money derelict in their duty to protect the value of the dollar, which means protecting the purchasing power of the money you have earned. If you want to try to neutralize that impact by holding some gold or silver, you shouldnt be punished when you want to use that alternative money for a purchase, for example. You certainly should not receive a penalty that exceeds that of stock gains.So, why the bigger tax on gold? Well, taxes are a disincentive that is, things you want less of you tax more. The government doesnt want you invested in gold, because that ties up your money. It means you dont loan it to the government. It means you dont invest in stocks that you may trade in and out of and generate more taxable profits to add to government revenues. They want your money flowing through the economy in a way where they can extract benefits for themselves. Choosing gold over the long-term means they dont benefit.Or, perhaps it is just bad policy whose time has come for an update.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONWhatever the reasons, now is the time to create a win-win for American citizens and for the government. More citizens should be hedged against the U.S.s broken fiscal foundation, with more than $37 trillion of debt, and deficits as a percent of GDP at wartime or recession-time levels.RARE ANCIENT GOLD DISCOVERY MADE BY FLORIDA STUDENT AT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITEWe know that Indian and Chinese households own a substantial amount of gold (estimated at up to 27,000 tonnes and 20,000 tonnes, respectively). While there isnt a reliable estimate for American households, surveys suggest that the vast majority of U.S. households dont own gold at all some estimates putting lack of ownership at around 89%-90%.And, given that the U.S. government holds, by its own accounts, the largest government gold stockpile in the world at more than 8,133 tonnes, lowering taxes on gold would also benefit the U.S.Lowering taxation on gold would likely allow gold to reach a higher valuation. Given that the U.S. carries gold on its balance sheet at $42.22 per troy ounce, having the price of gold rise to something more reflective of demand would allow the government to write up the price of gold on its balance sheet and use the difference to help finance our deficits at least for a little while while allowing citizens to own a hedge that would balance out some of the inflationary impacts of doing so.The president wants to create a new golden age, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to make it a real "golden age" by allowing for a fair treatment of gold and other precious metals.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM CAROL ROTH

A California woman competing on a YouTube survival show was rescued nearly 18 hours after she went missing in a cold, rain-soaked Michigan forest over the weekend, authorities said.The 36-year-old woman, whose identity has not been made public, disappeared in the Pigeon River Forest in Charlton Township at around 5 p.m. Friday after she left the designated base camp to search for water, the Otsego County Sheriffs Office said.When she failed to return, the hosts of the contests began to search for the woman on their own. After about 12 hours, the sheriffs office said they called 911 around 5 a.m. Saturday for help.Officials immediately launched a coordinated search effort involving multiple agencies.CALIFORNIA WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN NATIONAL FOREST, HUSBAND SEEN DRAGGING SOMETHING IN LARGE TARPA Michigan State Police helicopter spotted the missing woman wandering deep within a swampy area of the forest at around 10:40 a.m., the sheriffs office said, adding that she had been lost for nearly 18 hours in the cold and rain.Aerial footage from the helicopter shows the woman staring up at her rescuers and waving her hands.The helicopter crew guided ground teams to the womans location, and she was able to walk out of the forest on her own.LOST MOTHER'S HANDWRITTEN NOTES SAVE HER AND 9-YEAR-OLD SON STRANDED IN REMOTE CALIFORNIA WILDERNESSMedical teams evaluated her at the scene and determined that she suffered no serious injuries.Authorities did not immediately name the show or say who was hosting the competition.It was unclear whether the woman would continue to compete on the show.

The controversy over a Philadelphia Phillies fan who demanded that a father give her a home run ball during the teams game against the Miami Marlins continued to stir.Fans irate at the woman who marched over to the father who took the ball and gave it to his young son tried to find out who she was.

"Anyone who works for our school district, attended as a student or lives in our community would obviously have caught the ball bare-handed in the first place, avoiding this entire situation!"The Phillies fan did receive the ball from the family she stormed up to during the Phillies and Marlins game.The father, identified as Drew Felwell, gave the ball to the woman after all. He explained why in an interview with NBC Philadelphia."I dont even remember what she said, it was, you know, a lot of eyes on us by that time and the ball was already in his glove and she just wouldnt stop and I mean, Im literally leaning back as shes in my face yelling and yelling and I pretty much just wanted her to go away because I had a fork in the road: either do something I was probably going to regret or be dad and show him how to deescalate the situation so thats where I went," he said.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Radio host Howard Stern is still with SiriusXM. He revealed the news on Monday after rumors swirled about his future at the satellite radio service earlier this year.However, Stern's show trolled its listeners with a bit staged by Andy Cohen, who started the show by joking that he would be taking over Stern's slot and his new show would be known as "Andy 100.""I know youre expecting a big announcement from Howard and this is not how things were meant to go," Cohen said. "This was supposed to be a cleaner handoff. Im kind of winging it." Cohen said it was a "surreal morning here," according to Variety.Stern then came on the air and thanked Cohen for staging the bit.HOWARD STERN SAYS HE 'HATES' ANYONE THAT VOTES FOR TRUMP: 'THEY ARE STUPID, I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THEM'The radio host was initially supposed to speak about the future of his show last week on Sept. 2, but ultimately aired the first episode on Monday because he was sick, Variety reported.

Border czar Tom Homan warned Sunday that President Donald Trumps crime crackdown will allow "zero tolerance" for protesters who cross the line into violence against immigration officers."You throw a stone, youre going to jail. You put hands on an ICE officer, youre going to jail. You make a threat online or in person youre going to jail," Homan said on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures."The Trump border czar joined guest host Jason Chaffetz to outline the Trump administrations tougher stance, adding that U.S. attorneys nationwide have been directed to prosecute such cases.HOMAN ACCUSES DEMS, MEDIA OF PUSHING 'FAKE' STORIES ABOUT ICE AFTER AGENTS CLASH WITH CALIFORNIA RIOTERSHoman stressed that while protesters can demonstrate peacefully under First Amendment protections, harmful activities will not be tolerated.Homan added that the administration has launched an effort to identify groups or individuals funding violent protests. He warned that perpetrators would face consequences.BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN'S MESSAGE TO ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS: 'YOU WANT SOME? COME GET SOME'"There's a whole effort right now identifying those who are funding these operations, those who fund the weapons that are being used," he shared."And they'll be held accountable too and held to the highest standards of the law. They will be prosecuted, too."Homans remarks come after anti-ICE protests drew national attention in Portland and as the Trump administration enacts a crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., with a warning to other crime-plagued cities across the nation, including Chicago and Baltimore.The border czar also criticized politicians who have compared ICE to Nazis and terrorists, asking, "If ICE is racist for enforcing the law, what does that make them?""They wrote the law," he said of Congress."So members of Congress, everyone that wants to attack ICE is disgusting. They're an embarrassment to the position they hold. They're members of Congress. If they don't like what ICE is doing, then do your job and legislate. Until then, President Trump and the men and women of ICE are going to continue to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats and make this country safer every day."
