Former President Donald Trump admitted on Thursday that he had not been told about the potential threat posed by a suspect who threatened his life in Arizona — or the manhunt that was underway at the time to find him.

Trump spoke with reporters after addressing the crowd on border security, focusing heavily on the violent crime that has been the unfortunate result of virtually unchecked illegal immigration and trafficking — of both drugs and humans — across the porous southern border.

One reporter asked Trump directly whether he’d been informed that someone had threatened his life — and that there was a manhunt still underway to track down the suspect — and Trump simply replied: “No.”

“For the Daily Mail, today there was a manhunt going on in this county, somebody made death threats to you,” he said. “Did you hear about that before coming?”

“No,” Trump said.

“What are your thoughts coming down here? Some people told me it’s dangerous for you to be here,” the reporter followed up.

“I’ve heard it’s dangerous, but I also have a job to do,” Trump said. “I heard it’s very dangerous, I hadn’t heard about that. They probably want to keep it from me.”

“Thank you for telling me,” he added with a laugh, looking over his shoulder and joking to his Secret Service detail, “Let’s get outta here, right now. No, thank you very much for saying, but no, and I have great respect for Secret Service, the job they do — including a month and a half ago when they were jumping on top of me with bullets flying right at them, so … no, I haven’t heard that, but I’m not that surprised. The reason is because I want to do things that are very bad for the bad guys.”

Chicago Public Schools push kids toward “hardcore queer theory” in health education classes, according to a new report on the district from parental rights group Parents Defending Education.

With all eyes on Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, Parents Defending Education released a report on Wednesday showing that first graders are taught about “gender identity” while fifth graders are instructed about “puberty blocker medications that transgender young people may use.”

Parents Defending Education researcher Rhyen Staley told The Daily Wire on Thursday that Chicago Public Schools’ “Personal Health and Safety Education & Sexual Health Education Scope and Sequence” curriculum appears to be designed toward pushing kids to question their gender.

“You can start to see the process where they just slowly inch the kids and nudge the kids in the direction of hardcore queer theory,” he said. “That’s why by the time you get to fifth grade, you see that they are starting to teach the kids about transgenderism and puberty blockers.”

When looking at the curriculum as a whole, Staley said that it was a “generative process that slowly moves” the students toward queer theory.

For example, pre-K students are taught to “name at least three different types of family structures” and explain “why no one type of family is better than another.”

First graders are then taught to “define gender, gender identity and gender role stereotypes” and “name at least two things they’ve been taught about gender role stereotypes, and how those things may limit people of all genders.”

In third grade, students are told to “explain the difference between sex assigned at birth and gender identity.” Students are also told to “expand their understanding of what it can mean to be transgender and the concept of gender expression.”

The curriculum defines “transgender” as “when a person’s gender identity (how they feel) is different from what doctors/midwives assigned to them when they were born (sex assigned at birth).”

The gender ideology is turned up a notch in fourth grade, where men are referred to as a “body with penis and testicles” while women are referred to as a “body with ovaries.”

They are taught the concepts of “gender identity, sexual orientation, sex assigned at birth, and gender expression” and given a handout on the “gender snowperson” to teach them about “gender expression” and “gender identity.”

By fifth grade, students in the system began to be taught about “puberty blockers,” which have been linked to myriad health issues, including fertility problems, lack of bone development, and heart issues. They are taught about the “connection between puberty and gender identity” and are “introduced to puberty blocker medications that transgender young people may use.”

The focus on gender ideology comes as only 31% of elementary students in the district are proficient in reading and 19% in math.

“When we talk about developmentally inappropriate content soaked in left wing ideology, Chicago Public Schools provides the perfect example,” said Erika Sanzi, the director of outreach for Parents Defending Education. “No one, regardless of their grade level, should be taught that sex is assigned at birth because that is pseudoscience. And talking to fifth graders — also known as ten- and eleven-year-olds — about puberty blockers? What exactly is the goal here? All of it is reckless and indefensible.”
