A group of gunmen have killed at least 50 Catholics in a massacre at a catholic church in Nigeria. We re going to break that down and the political implications of that. Plus, President Trump announces his plans for the Student Action Summit.
00:02:37.740So what you're seeing there is the brutal aftermath of this situation.
00:03:02.860It was a terror attack, most likely by Boko Haram or other insurgents, terrorists, jihadists, on a Catholic church, Pentecost Sunday.
00:03:12.880Those people are now martyrs. Reports say as many as 50 were killed in this.
00:03:18.540And so I took to Twitter to, number one, of course, offer my condolences and prayers for the people of Nigeria, the Catholics of Nigeria, the believers who are standing up and continuing to go to church even in the face of this terrorism.
00:03:34.540But I also pointed out something, and I pointed out the fact that gun ownership is severely regulated in the country of Nigeria, right, for the plebs, for the regular people.
00:03:48.120And I was making the point that armed security at the church is what's needed given this situation.
00:03:56.180That tweet that I posted got so much heat from people all across the political spectrum, but particularly on the left.
00:04:06.540People saying, how dare you use this to score political points?
00:04:10.400This has nothing to do with your agenda.
00:04:17.940You're the people who said that all conservatives ever want to do is offer thoughts and prayers and never want to offer solutions in the wake of one of these horrific tragedies.
00:04:36.260There are churches here in the United States, synagogues as well, where people have armed security mosques, right?
00:04:42.000And what they do is you've got church goers that come in.
00:04:46.460They have their CCW, their concealed carry.
00:04:48.840You also occasionally have people who choose to work on a rotating basis as the person who's guarding the door.
00:04:57.480We saw this happen in Texas where there was an active shooter who was taken out in something like five seconds because the hero, Jack Wilson there, was able to take him out.
00:05:30.400You mean to tell me that, you know, there are terrorists operating in your area and you also know that these terrorists have a history of targeting churches.
00:05:42.360How does that not make my point stronger that you should actually have more heightened security and gun ownership at those churches?
00:05:53.340If you know there are terrorist groups, excuse me, it doesn't matter what the intent of the person is that's doing the shooting.
00:06:43.180And until people start taking this stuff seriously, instead of just saying, oh, thoughts and prayers and thinking that, oh, your government's going to do something about it.
00:07:21.540Seriously, this thing has been trending almost every single day for the past five days since Pizza Hut has talked about going and pushing drag school and drag classes through these books, through their Book It program for kids.
00:07:38.840And it feels like every single day, another major corporation or a baseball team, they're all going woke.
00:08:56.280I mean, there's a bridge I'd like to sell you, you know, you know, and also you can buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
00:09:19.440Like, Elon Musk, huge legal filing, a letter that he sent to Twitter saying, I think you guys lied about the number of fake accounts that you have.
00:09:32.840And essentially what that also means is that they lied about the number of real accounts they have.
00:09:37.380So, I want to make sure everybody understands this, that the issue isn't the amount of bots.
00:09:42.040The issue is the amount of real followers they said they have.
00:09:45.620So, Twitter based its valuation, and Elon Musk took their disclosure at face value as to what the valuation would be for the company based on their numbers that they sent to him.
00:09:57.500Now, he's doing his due diligence and saying, wait a minute.
00:10:00.180I think that your bot number is actually higher, which means your real, daily, monthly, average user number is lower.
00:10:10.760Essentially, what he's saying is Twitter lied, it was a material false statement, and therefore, he should either A, be able to be out of his contract, or B, be able to renegotiate his contract and possibly get it for less money.
00:11:00.160And that means he's got to sell a whole lot of that Tesla stock, which means that'll tank Tesla stock, which means that his net value will go on.
00:11:07.900Because remember, his net value, all those ones and zeros you see, that's all on paper because of his ownership of Tesla stock.
00:11:16.420Look, Tesla stock goes down, his net value goes down.
00:11:19.900It's not the same thing as having hard assets.
00:11:22.360So, if he starts converting to cash, he's going to see his whole net value go down.
00:11:26.840I might even see the valuation of Tesla itself go down.
00:11:53.360The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says, today I am investigating Twitter for potentially misleading Texans, right?
00:12:02.460Elon Musk, Texan, on the number of its quote unquote bot users.
00:12:05.980I have a duty to protect Texans if Twitter is misrepresenting how many accounts are fake to drive up their revenue.
00:12:13.760He wrote, to address this concern, Attorney General Paxton issued a civil investigative demand to investigate whether Twitter's reporting on real versus fake users is false, misleading or deceptive.
00:12:24.820Under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, meaning that Twitter must turn over documents related to how it calculates and manages its user data and how these numbers relate to Twitter's advertising business.
00:12:38.000So what you have here is Texas' AG is coming in, swinging down from the rafters and saying, I'm going to stand up with Elon Musk.
00:12:46.860Now, obviously, Texas wants Elon Musk's business through SpaceX, right?
00:12:53.300He's going to do, because of the amount of jobs that Elon Musk provides to the state of Texas, you know that it's in Texas' best interest to make sure that all of that still operates.
00:13:02.460And so Paxton's coming in now on behalf of Elon Musk.
00:13:09.160And so the courts, depending on what venue you can get this in, and we don't know more sure, probably, by the way, that Elon will try to venue shop this the same way that Johnny Depp venue shopped his defamation case against Amber Heard.
00:13:22.140It didn't work out so well for him in the UK, but he came to court in Virginia, and it did work out, right?
00:13:38.620It looks like that's exactly what Elon is trying to do.
00:13:42.680Get it for a lower value, but still become the owner.
00:13:46.660And he addressed a very important issue, which is one reason why he got so much support, and that is it cracks down on the scourge of human trafficking and especially focuses on protecting teens from being lured into human trafficking.
00:13:59.840Teens who are more vulnerable, who are perhaps more likely to be lured into this.
00:14:04.900And so, for one, it ensures that no one under the age of 18 is permitted inside a sexually owned business, and no one under the age of 21 can work inside a sexually owned business.
00:14:17.540So, this ensures that we will have tools and strategies to make sure that we will be able to keep these young teens or people under the age of 21 outside of these sexually owned businesses.
00:14:27.660Well, Human Events' investigation into what exactly is going on in the state of Texas.
00:14:34.640There's something rotten in Texas, folks.
00:14:56.220We need to get the right people in office so that we can get our state back, get our culture back, and eventually, by the way, get our country back.
00:15:04.800So, in that instance, you just heard Governor Abbott.
00:15:08.920He said that kids aren't going to be allowed into these types of businesses.
00:15:12.440And yet, this drag show, which was held for kids over the weekend, was able to commence.
00:15:56.940Also understand why kids are allowed in the bar to begin with.
00:15:59.500Well, you got Texas, at least finally, there's one rep who's willing to see sense or try to make some common sense out of this.
00:16:06.880Texas rep Brian Slayton has come forward, and it's pretty simple.
00:16:11.900He says, look, we need to codify this as a law to make it very clear that even if you're not the type of establishment that is sexually oriented,
00:16:23.120but if you are a, I guess, regular commercial establishment, which is holding sexually oriented performances and content,
00:16:32.120then that is also prohibited for minors to be there.
00:16:37.260How sad is it, by the way, that this has to be codified into law in Texas, of all places?
