It's a huge deal, not just because of the language that you were just quoting directly from the memo saying that it considers as indicators of future terrorist acts, anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government, anti-traditional family.
Some of these groups, I don't even know what they mean, anti-gender.
I mean, this is descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.
And basically what that is doing, again, it's not an executive order.
It's a
National Security Presidential Memorandum is often classified.
We're talking about NSPM 7.
NSPM 6, we don't even know what it is because it's classified.
There are very few of them.
And the reason for that is because these are sweeping strategy statements that basically tasks the entire federal government
to pursue a specific strategic goal over the remainder of the administration.
And what this one did was it told basically federal law enforcement, all of those indicators that I was just describing, pay attention to those, make terrorism cases around those, and how this is gonna be interpreted by the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies across the country is that if you make cases around this articulated priority set around these indicators of terrorism, so-called,
you're gonna get promoted, you're gonna get more resources for these things.
And so this is a big picture, 10,000 foot view look at what the administration is prioritizing going forward.
It is not the day to day of a lot of the executive orders that we've seen where they tend to focus more on small bore stuff, more on kind of ordinary daily government conduct.
This is the strategy document telling them, hey guys, this is what we're gonna be about for the next three years.
They have criteria and they have not just the list, but the terms that they use to add people to the list.
Your presence on the list isn't even known by the person.
All of this is happening in secret.
So they can see what people are doing, but the public can't see what it is that they're doing.
