Many 167 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: others are also saying the same thing. Former White House 168 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 3: Pressingcretary Jensaki breaking down in tears on MSNBC and then 169 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: the Minnesota mayor are saying, why is it that you 170 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: can buy a gun virtually every month if you wanted to, 171 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: again blaming the gun instead of the transgendered person who 172 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 3: they decided to say that their mental health issues were 173 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: normal and decided that, you know, we're never going to 174 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: help them with their mental health, We're just going to 175 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 3: try to normalize it. Former FBI profiler said the shooter's parents, well, 176 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: they're ones to blame as well, saying you help them 177 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: change their name. At seventeen, that's probably when the fuse 178 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 3: was lit. 179 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: Now, story number two. 180 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 3: There's another part of the story about the trans Minnesota 181 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: Catholic school shooter that the media is not covering. It 182 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 3: doesn't fit the narrative that they want this story to 183 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 3: be about, which is gun control, and we don't even 184 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 3: know what guns were even used yet, but they're calling 185 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: for it anyway. Well, here's the other part of the 186 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 3: story they're not talking about. This shooter had a YouTube 187 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 3: manifesto and it included vile anti Trump messages written on guns. 188 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: The transgender gumman who opened fire during that mass at 189 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 3: the Minneapolis Catholic School had a YouTube channel that contained 190 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: his manifesto as well as the anti Trump rhetoric. A 191 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: senior Trump administration official has now confirmed that the now 192 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 3: deleted YouTube page belonged to the gunman. A video posted 193 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: by the gunman showed the manifesto in all of the 194 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: gunmen's weapons. One of the magazines contained the words kill 195 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 3: Donald Trump, another one said where is Your God? And 196 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: another one Israel must fall. We're among the words written 197 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 3: on the gunman's magazines and the actual weapons. The person 198 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: who appears to have carried out that shooting, reported by 199 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: local news had it this way, posts a video showing 200 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 3: the manifesto on the weapons and one of the magazines 201 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: they put the picture up kill Donald Trump. The shooter 202 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: also went to the Catholic school and hated people of faith. 203 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: He was a Trump hater, a Jew hater, and he 204 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: appears to be a supporter of the Palestinian Islamic movement. 205 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: The shooter also wrote Israel must fall and that was 206 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: just some of what we've seen in a post on 207 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: x As you know, Caspettel provided an update of the 208 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: shooting which he stated that two children, an eight and 209 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: a ten year old were killed. And it's by someone 210 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 3: that is anti Trump and anti Israel. So why is 211 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 3: the media not covering that? Why is the media also 212 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: not covering the fact that this was a transgendered shooter. 213 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: Yet again, the same issue we had in the Nashville 214 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: school shooting. 215 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: There. 216 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: Yes, this is a real problem and they're not covering it. 217 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: And that's the other issue, which is when will the 218 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: media start actually telling you the truth? When will the 219 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 3: media actually start asking the tough questions. Yes, we know 220 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 3: that the left loves pushing gun control when something like 221 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: this happens. The Minnesota mayor, for example, not talking about 222 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: the mental health issue, not talking about the anti Jewish rhetoric. No, 223 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: what was he talking about. He was talking about gun 224 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: control as well. Listen carefully again, and yet it does 225 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: What does. 226 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: That look like? 227 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 8: I mean, you know, well, obviously from being a mayor 228 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 8: for some time in Minneapolis, that there are gun laws 229 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 8: in Minneapolis in Minnesota that other states don't have. But 230 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 8: there are some things that could still be done. Is 231 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 8: that something that you hope people in the legislature have 232 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 8: a will to do at this point in time. 233 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 9: We have more guns in America than people. Say it again, 234 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 9: we have more guns in America than people. Why why 235 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 9: is it so easy to get a gun? Why is 236 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 9: it so easy to get a whole heap ton of guns? 237 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 9: Why is it that you can buy a gun virtually 238 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 9: every month if you wanted to? 239 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 4: What good is that? 240 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 9: We're not talking about your father's hunting rifle. We're talking 241 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 9: about people that have gotten guns that it seemingly, in 242 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 9: this case legally that obviously have a whole ton of 243 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 9: mental health issues. You're not right in the head. If 244 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 9: you're going to a church to shoot it up, you're 245 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 9: not right in the head. But the fact that you 246 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 9: have guns, in fact, many many guns. 247 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 4: Why is that? Okay? 248 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 9: You know this has gone down in other countries and 249 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 9: they say, you know what, We're not going to allow 250 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 9: this anymore. We're not we don't want this to happen anymore. 251 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 9: We're going to do something about it. It's got to 252 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 9: be out of love for our kids, a common kind 253 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 9: of humanity that you understand how deeply I love my 254 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 9: little girls. I've got an almost five year old four 255 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 9: and three quarters. She'd tell you, and I've got a 256 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 9: three week old and I many times today have thought 257 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 9: about the last things that I have said to her 258 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 9: before she went into school. And you know, you shove 259 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 9: these things off as you know, maybe even an annoyance, 260 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 9: Get out the door, put on your shoes, let's go, 261 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 9: here's your head band, come on. But there's also a 262 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 9: beauty to it in that I love her so dearly 263 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 9: and I want her to be able to experience the 264 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 9: school and her life safely. That's not too much to ask. 265 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 9: And the fact that we've seen these things happen again 266 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 9: and again throughout our country, what it tells me is 267 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 9: maybe we're not seeing these kids as our own. And 268 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 9: so that's my ask to people. Don't think about these 269 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 9: as just somebody else's kids. Think about them as if 270 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 9: they were your own. 271 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: By the way, that same mayor, hours after that interview, 272 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 3: going on the anti gun tirade, he is now facing 273 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: fierce backlash after attacking people of faith for offering prayers 274 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: during a press conference on a tragic shooting at the 275 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: Catholic school. Critics now blasting the mayor's remarks as tone 276 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 3: death and callous and wake of violence. It's specifically targeted 277 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: children at worship, but at the news conference, the mayor declared, quote, 278 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 3: don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. 279 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 3: These kids are literally praying. It was the first week 280 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 3: of school, they were in a church. These are kids 281 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: that should be learning with their friends. They should be 282 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: playing on playgrounds. They should be able to go to 283 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 3: school or church in peace without the fear or risk 284 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 3: of violence. So don't say it's about thoughts and prayers 285 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: right now. Wow, that is the mayor of a liberal 286 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 3: city that normalized a radical leftist who said kill Trump, 287 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: kill the Jews, and killed the children that are Catholic. 288 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: And what do they focus on? Gun control? 289 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 290 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
