In the wake of the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida on Valentine's Day, many are asking the question, why is it so common for white males to commit mass shootings? What does that tell us about our society and our society's priorities regarding gun control and mental health?
00:00:37.000That's what we're called to do as Christians and if you're not Christian that's what we're supposed to be as rational beings it's what separates us from the animals let's continue we'll see what they're saying on CNN and uh Rumble Premium go Boy,
00:03:19.000Let me shut this up because they'll be sending me some information live.
00:03:24.000Before we get to more information here, first off, let me go in and see what they're saying at CNN.
00:03:28.000I really want to take your chats today because I think it's one of those days where obviously whenever there's a national tragedy, we're able to mourn together.
00:03:35.000But first let me see what CNN is saying right now.
00:03:42.000Well, it tells us that he is not similar from many other mass shooters and certainly many other school shooters.
00:03:52.000I think it's I don't have the statistics, the entirety of the statistics to back this up, but it's if you look at kind of notorious school shootings, be that Columbine, Uvalde, Sandy Hook, you know, the list goes on and on.
00:04:14.000Steve, the Parkland shooter had every single run ins with the law.
00:04:18.000It's it's fairly common that these people are not kind of repeat criminal offenders or people who were kind of below the radar as it were and simmering in one way or another.
00:05:09.000a really powerful, let's say, dog, like I do, Joe Lewis, would you just ignore them and hope for the best?
00:05:17.000Or would you say, hey, hold on a second.
00:05:19.000The largest demographic in our country, which also happens to be the demographic of people who go to war and preserve our country, hey, let's do our best by them.
00:05:31.000Do they need something that they're not getting?
00:06:24.000That's the same segment of society that surprised all of you in their voting patterns.
00:06:30.000Because they're tired of being demonized for something they haven't done, being punished for something they played no part in, whether it's slavery, whether it's privilege, whether it's suffrage.
00:06:44.000Why do we always look at, hey, again, how'd the system fail?
00:06:47.000Why are young black men committing a record number of crimes?
00:07:09.000We have to, you know, mobilize certain types of resources like, you know, operating rooms and the surgical services.
00:07:15.000We have to have emergency providers and nurses.
00:07:17.000We have to, you know, mobilize things like the laboratory and the blood bank.
00:07:23.000So there's a lot of planning and again, a lot of exercises we do throughout the year to prepare for these events.
00:07:30.000And unfortunately, you know, we respond to many of them throughout the year.
00:07:35.000Can you talk about the injuries at all or any type of what you're seeing here with some of these patients?
00:07:41.000You know, I can't get into specifics, but we are dealing with gunshot wound injuries from apparently a high velocity weapon.
00:07:47.000And, you know, gunshot wounds can be very problematic because they can involve multiple body systems.
00:07:52.000And again, they require a lot of resources to manage.
00:07:56.000But again, you know, we see a lot of gunshot wounds here at Hannipin Healthcare, and we're among the best in the nation every year at managing penetrating trauma.
00:08:22.000I can't share that information with you at this time.
00:08:24.000Can you hear from the families of some of the victims that made their way here?
00:08:28.000Yeah, we've had quite a bit of effort to stand up a reunification center across the street here in our clinical specialty care building.
00:08:37.000And so to my knowledge, I believe almost all of the families and loved ones have been reunited with patients and know their status.
00:08:45.000Do you know if anyone is being treated at any other locations?
00:08:49.000My understanding was we had a lot of the non-critical patients that went to Children's Hospital and I believe one went to Masonic Children's Hospital as well.
00:08:58.000So let me just, well, I want to address a few things here.
00:09:03.000And I think this is going to go the direction of discussing sort of firearms quite a bit because that'll come up today.
00:09:09.000It really is important when I say this, this is just my opinion, that you don't allow yourself to be governed by emotion and making rash decisions or judgments because if you get that starting off point wrong, then almost everything thereafter is wrong.
00:09:45.000You're certainly more likely to be wrong if the people asking questions about gunshot wounds, about the firearms used, and not only asking questions, but offering prescriptions to you, which they undoubtedly are doing on CNN and ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, New York Times, if they are so brazenly ignorant that they don't even know the basic mechanical function of the tool they're demonizing.
00:11:57.000She's obviously, she's talked about covering other mass shootings and also perpetuates the lie that they're happening far more often than ever in the past.
00:14:42.000But in function, both these weapons and And all, pretty much all modern handguns, you'd have to go back to a single action revolver like, you know, in the Old West or in the Civil War era are semi-automatic guns.
00:14:58.000And that's important because the purveyors of misinformation use that and then try and push legislation.
00:15:36.000Criminals are not going to do this for us.
00:15:39.000So people that go out there and say stupid stuff about semi-automatics and then try to use that to say, oh, we need common sense gun reform.
00:15:45.000We need background checks universally.
00:16:29.000You know what stops somebody from whatever magic semi-automatic rifle that he's talking about with one trigger pull that shoots dozens of bullets.
00:17:38.000So the kids were in the mass and they were packed in there.
00:17:42.000And so this girl, seventh, eighth grade, literally watched her friends, some of her best friends, be shot, one in the neck, one in the stomach.
00:17:52.000And when they were running out, when they finally got out, she was the one, this child., who had to tell one of her friend's dads that the friend had been shot.
00:18:02.000And in, of course, the chaos would ensue in any place when there's a mass shooting like this.
00:18:08.000And the other information, you know, that I got from the mayor and others were of course consistent with what you've heard this was a man a madman acting alone somehow knows about this ceremony all those facts that comes out standing outside of this mass and shooting one by one these kids down as they're praying in the church I mean just to hear you describe Cora,
00:18:39.000an eighth grader, seventh or eighth grader, having to tell the parent of her friend that they were shot.
00:18:50.000It's it's anyone with kids, anyone with a with a beating heart, it's just it's just beyond.
00:18:58.000Do you know anything more about those who, more broadly, who were injured?
00:19:04.000Those who were killed, an eight and ten year old.
00:19:08.000Right, an eight and ten year old, and then you have a total of nineteen that we know of that were hit, seventeen, of course, we only have two dead right now, seventeen injured, and of those, fourteen were children.
00:19:23.000So there were also adults who were shot, right?
00:19:26.000There were most likely teachers or we don't know people involved in the service.
00:19:33.000So there were also adults that were shot, and I'm sure as we hear the details on this, the stories of these people trying to get out of those doors, trying to scramble under the pews, which is what they were told to do to protect themselves.
00:19:50.000I know they're going to be tragic, but there will also be stories of faith, stories of parents and others helping each other.
00:20:00.000But it is when you think about what happened here and the fact that he had these three guns, multiple guns, I believe it was something over some kind of grievance that may not even involve this school.
00:20:14.000And we will those facts will be revealed when the police have thoroughly investigated them.
00:20:20.000But this is a time, as the mayor said, this could be, these just aren't someone else's kids.
00:20:27.000Anyone can imagine on the first day of school, I remember this dropping your child off to a bus or bring them to the school thinking they're going to be safe.
00:20:39.000It's just the most horrific thing any parent and I know you are a parent as well, Dana, any parent can imagine.
00:20:47.000Senator, you mentioned that I know that you want to let law enforcement take the lead here, but you just mentioned that you believe that this and a grievance had.
00:20:55.000That individual had some kind of grievance not even related to the school.
00:21:03.000I think we have to get to the bottom of this, as you know, with these scenes from covering so many of them.
00:21:08.000So they might have been fabricated by Club of Jones.
00:21:10.000And then they're not true, and then you figure it out.
00:21:12.000But I think this image of this gunman shooting through these windows, picking off these kids while they're praying is something that's going to be with people for a long time.
00:21:22.000And when you think about guns and you think about, as the mayor said, thoughts and prayers just aren't enough here right now.
00:22:46.000And just, you know, that Jacob, the mayor and his wife Sarah just had a second baby.
00:22:52.000So I know he knows this just gutterly of how this feels to think of your own children in that situation.
00:23:01.000And I think part of what he's getting at here is that there's thoughts and prayers and then the law enforcement does their their job well and the hospitals do their job well and they save some lives.
00:23:13.000The law enforcement can help people who are injured.
00:23:16.000There's a whole room of those kids in that church that are going to never forget what happened and that hopefully they'll be able to get through it in their own lives.
00:23:25.000But you think of that in other mass shootings, it's the immediate death, it's the immediate family, but then it's an entire community and ultimately it's an entire nation that has to grapple with the fact of we have too many guns out there right now and there's all kinds of policy things that we could do that would still preserve people's right to hunt, people's right to collect guns, people's right Those weren't the rights.
00:24:40.000It's talking about, just so you're clear, insurrection.
00:24:44.000It's your right to an insurrection against a tyrannical government if it no longer fulfills the role that government was supposed to be in this country.
00:24:53.000Just to be clear, the Second Amendment guarantees your right to have a fighting chance at an insurrection in case there's another be really, really clear about that and the commas weren't put there by accident.
00:25:08.000Look, when you're talking about this too, they'll wave their magic wand.
00:25:56.000Now you say more mass shootings than ever, but that's not really true if you go through the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and they changed their definition of mass free shooting, and we're not the only nation that has had them.
00:26:43.000You can't control never being in a gunfree zone.
00:26:45.000But if you were to craft a solution right now to minimize your risk of being a victim, you would say 94% okay take place in a gunfree zone.
00:26:54.000That's where the most amount of time is spent in these gun free zones.
00:27:10.000Maybe keep your kids home and protect them.
00:27:12.000You know, maybe have your kids at home learning from their family who loves them, who, by the way, is tasked with the responsibility of protecting them.
00:27:22.000And this was also a really big thing too.
00:28:00.000I don't get to be with my kids all the time.
00:28:02.000You think that I'm not worried about it?
00:28:04.000You think that I don't know that I am much more supremely capable of protecting my kids and have taken every single I know that my kids are safest in my house, period.
00:28:17.000You think that I'm very much aware that the public school teachers or the people at daycare, largely women, or if they're surrounded by other women who don't take these measures into their hands and don't, by the way, have the testicular fortitude to deal with the same kind of violence that we were designed, by the way, fearfully and wonderfully creative, that's part of our purpose.
00:29:08.000You can avoid the single largest period of time, swath of time in the day that you would subject the most helpless people, children, to the most dangerous area statistically in the United States, a gunfree zone.
00:29:26.000Take them out of those, don't put them in those places.
00:29:29.000Put them in a place where you can control the variables and you can keep them safe.
00:30:10.000It's people with a godless agenda who don't understand human nature who are trying to push for solutions that, by the way, deny human nature, are rooted in godlessness, and then add a hefty dose of not knowing what they're talking about at all.
00:30:37.000They're actually funny enough with the historical record.
00:30:39.000You have different news articles that list different years.
00:30:43.000The reason this one is so important is because it's the reason that police officers switched from revolvers to, again, this revolver to semi automatic handguns.
00:30:54.000Both are one trigger pull, one bullet, okay?
00:30:56.000But you can get more rounds, higher capacity in modern semi automatic pistols.
00:31:02.000Now, this is something that you'll probably hear at your local gun range.
00:31:05.000It's probably something that you'll hear among people who even know, and they're wrong.
00:31:10.000What happened is these police officers were called to a shooting and they were armed with revolvers and the two suspects had these high capacity weapons and they outshot the police officers.
00:31:25.000I don't remember how many died, but it was tragic.
00:32:49.000Think about back in the day, there was a term they used for these criminals where it was like, I don't know if it was a smash and grab.
00:32:53.000They had a specific term because this was a kind of, they would usually show up with a tommy gun and it was just brute force, not as much planning.
00:32:59.000And so police officers knew how to approach them back then.
00:33:01.000They too would show up with a tommy gun, right?
00:34:19.000One was preparation because they knew what they were going into.
00:34:22.000They didn't prepare for it adequately.
00:34:23.000And two, hey, what do you think there might be the case if someone fired several magazines and there was a lot of lead going both ways, but more officers died?
00:34:44.000Even the guy who had a higher capacity semi-automatic handgun in the Miami Dade shooting, which we now know is, hey, the solution was semi-automatic handguns because revolvers don't cut it, couldn't hit the broadside of a barn knowing they were going into a melee with a serial, violent offender who was heavily armed and he didn't have the training to hit him.
00:35:11.000And of course, the information gets disseminated.
00:35:13.000And so we end up with, I guess that's why we switched to these guns.
00:35:16.000The solution would have been different if you said, wait a second., maybe we need to establish a protocol where you go in very prepared for these situations, where we give officers different tools to deal with the different threats, you know, like the military does.
00:35:32.000And maybe we should focus more on marksmanship so they can hit the person once they show up, regardless of the gun they have, more than fifty rounds a year.
00:35:43.000But the major solution that came out of it was, oh, switch from this to this, even though someone had that and still was ineffective.
00:35:53.000So you see how if that jumping off point is incorrect, it's just like aiming a gun.
00:35:56.000If you're ten feet away, you're a little off the target.
00:35:58.000If you're 100 feet away, You don't even hit it.
00:36:02.000So what do you think happens when these people go out there and go, we could stop this with gun control.
00:36:12.000And then one party, and by the way, their lackeys in the media are going to try and craft solutions based around at best a lie or at best ignorance, I should say, most likely a lie.
00:36:26.000Because they don't care what the truth is anyway.
00:37:09.000What I do want is for you to be able to solve and factor in all of these portions of the equation to make informed decisions in your life, I can't solve it societally, and neither can they.
00:38:53.000What we So there were reports, interesting reports on X and Z. A lot of unverified stuff.
00:39:02.000So, but George started looking through the comments, and there was one link that purported to be a manifesto that this person uploaded to YouTube.
00:40:30.000Considering it's a church, I wonder if this is speculation, could be a reference to give a man a fish, teach a man to fish, all that kind of stuff.
00:41:58.000So it's either someone with a very elaborate hoax or had a very similar video to the layout of the church in a weird book, or it could potentially was it two hours ago meaning it was uploaded before the shooting?
00:42:10.000No, it would have been uploaded right after the shooting took place.
00:42:12.000So it would have been a scheduled upload.
00:42:15.000If it's not a scheduled upload, then that's, I mean, he had a drawing of the church with the pews and where the windows were and stuff.
00:42:23.000It's got to be a scheduled upload, I think.
00:42:28.000If it's not a copycat, and again, we're coming to you with this information live, and we're trying to translate some of it, and this person did schedule that upload, and you see that there, that is clearly a mentally disturbed individual, and I'm sorry, it'd be really hard for me to believe that no one saw the signs.
00:42:46.000So if that is accurate, if this is something that we verify, And the parents going, no, I don't know.
00:43:48.000And like you see the little pony sticker.
00:43:51.000I don't, again, can't speculate exactly what that is, but...
00:44:04.000If that was all written, he wouldn't have had a whole lot of time to do that while the shooting is going on, if some of that writing matches up.
00:44:10.000I mean, and I would really like to, so guys, just if you can, you should be able to take a screen grab, copy-paste it, rush and get a pretty rough translation.
00:44:19.000We should be able to get that done pretty quickly.
00:44:21.000Again, the idea that if this was two hours ago, Wallace is in the middle of this with a notebook that has a bunch of images, stickers, guns painted on there, the church layout, it would seem like that.
00:44:35.000George just pointed out to me this sticker in the video as well.
00:44:39.000Defend equality with the gay pride flag.
00:44:46.000I'll tell you what, I hope that I'm wrong.
00:44:51.000And I hope that it's some kind of whatever the left tries to make out to be the boogeymanan and alt right edgelord just trying to throw you off the scent.
00:45:02.000I really, genuinely hope and pray that that is the case, and this is a lone gunman disturbed individual and not another person who has been propagandized by the evil, soulless, alphabet Gestapo left that leads young men into the descent of unholy, godless, into a pit.
00:45:52.000I just want to say again, from my end, from the research end, we're not confirming anything, but it has been deleted, nuked in the span of a couple of hours of being uploaded and being tied to this thing.
00:46:14.000But this isn't our first rodeo and have a pretty good day batting average in the past if we say we do believe this is authentic at this point.
00:46:21.000We're still going through the process.
00:46:23.000And so there, and I don't want to show just to be clear, no images, nothing like that of who this person potentially could be because we don't know.
00:46:30.000But there are images floating around of this person.
00:46:32.000There are claims going around of this person being, you know, either gay or trans or something like that.
00:47:53.000And again, that would seem like it'd be pretty tough.
00:47:55.000I mean, again, with AI, it's hard to know anything these days, but it seemed like that would be pretty tough to have at the ready.
00:48:01.000instantaneously with the shooting if that Russian language, if it coincides at all, which I'm still, I'm going to be here with you until we get that.
00:48:22.000And guys, you should be able to, you know, have a software where you take the image, you can pull out the text and then copy paste that into a translator, that probably would be the fastest way to get a general, general outline.
00:48:33.000Sorry, Josh, were you going to say something?
00:48:35.000No, no, I was, I was thinking about that band page, because that's all we have, but it doesn't, it went, it doesn't matter.
00:50:17.000Do you think they're going to lean hard into this religious, anecdotal, tear jerker type of journalism to try and get the Christians on board with gun reform since most are going to already have.
00:52:15.000It's all anecdotal and you're here for a Jennifer reason.
00:52:18.000There's a reason why, you know, two hours after it happened, a senator, a literal lawmaker, is on there trying to get tears out of us with kind of a smile.
00:52:28.000It was, I don't know, she's got some Botox or what's going on there, but it's like always like a permanent grin that she's got going on.
00:52:53.000Well, we do know that Amy Clevver showed one thing she did do well.
00:52:56.000She, I believe, was on the Jimmy Carter spearheaded commission for election integrity talking about voter fraud and how we needed to strengthen our election integrity laws.
00:53:36.000It was some, you know, it was over 20 minutes long, I think, something like that.
00:53:39.000Then there was an 11-minute video that we were not able to grab prior to the channel being nuked, but we can see the preview of that, right?
00:53:47.000And right now we're just confirming another 11-minute video was sent to us from somebody in chat that seems to kind of correspond to that video.
00:53:54.000The writing on the magazines lo look really similar.
00:54:00.000So right now they're pulling some time codes to walk me through that.
00:54:02.000And basically from what I've seen, it was laying out guns, ammunition, showing some writing.
00:54:07.000The writing looks very similar, but the writing.
00:54:09.000So this is kind of a weird thing about the writing.
00:54:11.000And anybody who knows or speaks Russian or understands Cyrillic and can can read it, it looks almost like a broken like English Cyrillic, like they're using Cyrillic characters to say English things.
00:54:49.000So again, I would tend to lean toward, I'd say, if I had to put a number on it, 70, 80 percent that this is likely authentic just because of the time, just because of what's included, because of the fact that it was nuked, because of the fact that now we do see that smoke bomb that was confirmed by the officer.
00:55:10.000I lean very much toward this is authentic.
00:55:13.000And if we just have a couple more pieces here that kind of help confirm, I'll operate from the basis that I'll operate from the same basis that police would, and hopefully they're doing this work.
00:55:23.000I would operate from the same basis as this is the prime suspect.
00:55:25.000Okay, so just to clarify, so no one tries to hang me on it.
00:55:28.000If we have a couple more pieces of evidence, if we translate some of this, which let me know when you guys get it, and we confirm this video, I need to say, we don't know, we don't, I've already said that enough times, I will operate as though this is the prime suspect, and then handle it that way.
00:57:37.000So it was a say this what take this and eat all of it barukazad and that suka is like bitch in russian okay and pause real quick really quickly.
00:57:49.000Just so you know, I know some people are saying, hey, you shouldn't show this because this is what this person wants.
00:57:52.000I understand, and I used to agree with that.
00:57:55.000You don't have that luxury anymore when people are now purveyors of clickbait online because you don't want to have the choice between people who keep you completely in the dark until it's convenient, legacy media, and clickbait people who do no due diligence.
00:58:07.000We saw what happened with Nashville with that.
00:58:09.000We saw what happened with the Vegas shooting.
00:58:11.000We saw what happened, well, with Sutherland Springs.
00:58:14.000This could just be someone who's throwing out all different kinds of smoke because someone who has an LGBTQ brony thing and then also saying death whatever it is to Jews or to Israel.
00:58:24.000There's racial slurs just about everybody.
00:58:26.000And again, just to reiterate, it could just be someone who's trying to confirm.
00:58:32.000operating as though this is the main suspect where I wouldn't be able to glean any type of motivation because this seems like it could be someone who's going, hey, I just want a bunch of press and I'll throw some chum in the water and they'll be saying an LGBTQ activist and then these people will be saying anti-Semitism, right-wing extremists.
00:58:48.000That very well could be what's at play here.
00:58:51.000It'll kind of come down to the totality of evidence and what we see if there's some kind of motivation.
00:59:01.000I do know people and I do know the media and I do know the entertainment industry.
00:59:08.000And I know that the reason they're not covering this at all, assuming that they do their job whatsoever and have access to what we have access to, and that's a big leap, they absolutely would not broadcast this if they saw that rainbow flag on CNN, period, full stop, until they got all the information they could spin it.
00:59:27.000If that wasn't there and it was just death to Israel and it looked somewhat conservative, they would cover it immediately, as they did with Christchurch where the person was trolling saying I listened to Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens, right?
00:59:46.000I don't think fuck Israel is necessarily a conservative No, no, I don't think so.
00:59:52.000I don't know if they would spin it that way either, but I would to the point They would, they would if they go anti Semitic, they're trying to go anti Semitism on the right, but you're right, but that's how they would spin it.
01:00:01.000But to your point of not showing it, but changing your mind on that, this could be somebody who, I mean, obviously seems, if this is the real person, seems mentally disturbed.
01:00:19.000So it might be somebody who's being influenced by another person, another group.
01:00:22.000This could be more than just a person doing a thing, it could be a person involved with some other society or some other group that, especially with the broken language not being written correctly, could be somebody trying to, you know, prove something to, there might be other people involved, there might be other people in danger as well, so I think it is important to show this kind of stuff.
01:01:00.000How many times have we seen a mass shooter who came from a good family, was disciplined physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually fit, and still couldn't get things right with a strong support social structure.
01:01:32.000Usually it's someone who is a nerd, who's an outcast, who hasn't done anything to see, experience, self-improvement, so they feel hopeless.
01:01:40.000You don't typically see a guy who you go, oh, has everything together, even though we all have problems.
01:01:45.000Someone who presents well, someone who speaks well, someone has a good family, someone who has strong moral conviction who just goes off.
01:02:03.000So we wanted to know if you wanted to go wide with this, go back wide if we're going to be covering this for just a little bit, if we're going to stay around.
01:02:10.000I think that might be helpful, but the only real way to do that, and Tim confirm, is we would have to end this stream, start a new one, so maybe give us just a couple of minutes to reset, start a new stream, and then we can continue.
