It's Cultural Appropriation Month, and we're kicking it off with a bang. This week, we take a look at what cultural appropriation means to us, and why it's important to us. Plus, a new installment of Undercover: The Nashville Manifesto, featuring an exclusive interview with journalist Michael Patrick Leahy.
00:03:29.000Every now and then, we have an intro, we have a parody, and then we go back and we see it kind of, you know, the culmination of the work, and we go, ooh, maybe we're gonna have to dump that.
00:03:38.000Yeah, the first couple lines are like, oh, that's kind of cute and fun.
00:03:41.000And then you're like, oh, this is this is dark.
00:04:33.000I don't know exactly, and I don't want to ask the, I don't want to prod, But we do know that we can confirm the authenticity of these documents that he has.
00:04:42.000These are documents and these are records for the entirety of Audrey's life.
00:04:46.000It spans across the shooter's life and it confirms what you already knew, only it's that much worse, and also dispels some of the myths that the media has been trying to put up as a smokescreen to run interference for this, let's be clear, radical transgender Idiolog.
00:07:03.000You're going to ask me, in the middle of the thing, when they've already breached the inaugural stuff, that should we call the Capitol Police?
00:08:50.000Unless you two start a partnership, then you can both be best dads, but you can't be because you're in separate nuclear families, which is kind of normal.
00:09:13.000You've just witnessed me learn something on air.
00:09:18.000We're not celebrating Juneteenth, Gerald!
00:09:21.000So he celebrated it at the White House and it did not go well.
00:09:25.000And I know to some of you this may seem lazy because it's kind of like just let Joe Biden talk and turn it into a segment.
00:09:33.000But no one else in late night is doing this.
00:09:34.000And I remember when it was a comedic witch hunt when George W. Bush and Donald Trump were president.
00:09:38.000So that brings us to this week in Biden.
00:09:40.000If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
00:09:43.000I mean, the idea we had to wait all those months just to get the money for Iraq, because we're waiting, I mean, it's just, it's just, it's not who we are.
00:12:49.000I'm talking about all of Hulu, Netflix, Disney.
00:12:52.000They want to put this out there as though it is completely normal so that your children are raised in an environment with this and it's treated the exact same as Dr. Seuss books.
00:17:04.000Hit the like button if you're okay with it.
00:17:05.000And the reason why is because we have a pretty intense segment here with a guest I'm very happy to bring on.
00:17:11.000I'm glad that we actually connected with this person.
00:17:13.000While we were going through the saga, the Nashville Manifesto.
00:17:16.000And do comment below, what did you think was most revealing from the portion of the manifesto that Mug Club Undercover procured and released?
00:17:23.000And did you feel as though, you know, it was missing context?
00:17:27.000Because there were a lot of people out there who tried to fill in context, which really was a way of playing defense, a way of backfilling in a way that wasn't really honest.
00:17:35.000Now there's a man who works locally there in Nashville, Michael Patrick Leahy.
00:17:40.000Who had filed a FOIA which was denied, but now he has 80 new pages of information.
00:17:47.000The only portions of the manifesto that are available from that spiral notebook came from the Mug Club undercover unit, but information that relates to the shooter's life.
00:18:17.000Let me give you just a brief kind of memory refresher here.
00:18:22.000If you don't remember the Nashville Manifesto, here's an excerpt.
00:18:28.000We have for you today, exclusively here on Loud Earth Crowder, courtesy of Mug Club, First look at part of the handwritten manifesto of the Nashville Shooter.
00:19:42.000Something else important is, hey, could this have been prevented?
00:19:45.000When the left talks about watch lists for firearms, because maybe you took a Xanax, I think this is relevant, because this is someone who not only should have been on a watch list if you're going to create one, this is someone who even without a watch list, the neighborhood watch would know with the information that we have, that this person was disturbed, that this person was a danger, that this person communicated it with great regularity, and certainly you would imagine that those in positions of authority, namely those in law enforcement, would be aware of this and be proactive.
00:20:17.000They've been proactive in trying to bury this information.
00:20:47.000This also may lead to unintended consequences for the segment of the population more vulnerable or open to conspiracy theories, which will undoubtedly abound.
00:20:55.000There is existing precedent for not releasing legacy token materials to the public, most notably the decision to destroy the basement tapes produced by the offenders of the Columbine High School attack.
00:21:08.000Do you mean conspiracy theories like the mayor?
00:21:11.000And the lawyer who represented a small portion of the family is coming out and saying this was not politically motivated, this was just a one-off, this was a lone wolf, this was someone who didn't clearly have an ideology, this is somebody who just snapped one day.
00:21:24.000Do you mean those kinds of conspiracy theories?
00:21:26.000Do you mean the kinds of conspiracy theories when the manifesto, a portion of it, is actually released, where they say that's actually not authentic, that's made up, that's internet?
00:21:34.000That's just internet clickbait, and then, okay, well, it's real, but the truth is you shouldn't know about this manifesto because it hurts the families, and then some families come out and say, no, we actually want to know about this motivation.
00:21:42.000Do you mean those kinds of conspiracy theories?
00:21:44.000Do you mean burying misinformation, like the staggering percentage of comorbidities That transgender individuals, right, they find themselves in that demographic, or the unbelievable suicide rate, attempted suicide rate, which gets no better after transition, and, by the way, violent crime rate that you see from transgenders.
00:22:03.000We always hear about how transgender individuals are more likely to be the victim of violent crime, and that may be true.
00:22:08.000A big part of that is because a high portion of them tend to be involved in sex work, and those people tend to be victims of violent crimes.
00:22:16.000The tragedy to thrust people into that world.
00:22:18.000What you don't hear about is that transgender individuals have other forms of mental disturbance on a regular- to a statistical- to a staggering statistical degree.
00:22:28.000I want to choose my words carefully and make sure that I am accurate.
00:22:30.000To a staggering statistical degree, transgender individuals have comorbidities and other mental disturbances and commit disturbing and violent crimes at an alarmingly high rate compared to any other percentage of the population.
00:22:51.000We know about the Christchurch shooting.
00:22:53.000Anytime there's a basic white guy who fires a shot, we know about it and we are told that white males are the biggest domestic terrorism threat in the country.
00:23:01.000Well, several gender ideologues, radicalized, have now committed...
00:23:06.000...to the point of being a threat to the world.
00:30:28.000By the way, that memo was filed, was sent to the chief of police in Nashville one day after we filed our case in state court and two days after we filed our case in the FBI, in federal court against the FBI.
00:30:50.000I can hear them clanking because I know it's one thing to do what we do, you know, as I'm a comedian, but also to have an undercover unit, but to also have to work and see these people, you know, in local media.
00:31:16.000Now, a couple things that are important.
00:31:19.000On the day of the shooting, the Metro National Police Department went into the house of Audrey Hale, where she lived with her parents, and discovered at that time that she was being treated by Vanderbilt University Psychiatric Hospital.
00:31:32.000Her mother confirmed with them That she'd been under various levels of treatment for 22 years.
00:31:40.000Now, what's important about this is there's a duty to warrant for mental health professionals.
00:31:46.000And we've discovered from our sources that the first psychologist was aware That Audrey had threatened to kill her father and carry out school shootings.
00:31:58.000We've also seen documentation that when she went to Vanderbilt Psychiatric, she also confirmed she wanted to kill her father and she wanted to carry out school shootings.
00:32:26.000Yeah, you just said something that made me think.
00:32:28.000One of the things that stood out to me in one of the pages that we covered back in November was that she said that she almost got caught in 2021.
00:32:37.000Was that maybe the Vanderbilt thing or one of the other issues that you just brought up?
00:32:41.000I don't know, because her case was very interesting.
00:32:45.000There was a transfer from her first psychologist to Vanderbilt Psychiatric in late 2019, when the first psychologist went to the parents and said, there's suicidal ideation.
00:32:59.000Apparently, she knew at the time that there was homicidal ideation, but didn't tell the parents from what we can tell.
00:33:05.000The psychologist recommended that she be involuntarily committed.
00:33:10.000But when they went to Vanderbilt Psychiatric, they did what something they called intensive outpatient program, 30 days, and then they put her out.
00:33:19.000Now the other point to bring out When she was 25, she was off her parents' insurance, and she lived at home with her parents, and graduated from an art college in 2022.
00:33:31.000She had some jobs, you know, with Instacart and delivering stuff, that kind of stuff.
00:33:38.000She went to meet with her parents shortly after she was 25, and she said, I want to transition.
00:33:44.000And they said, okay, well, you know, it's not that easy.
00:33:46.000And by the way, you can't do it with our insurance.
00:33:50.000He then shortly thereafter got a Pell Grant from her college and she used that money to buy the seven guns and ammunition she used on the day that she murdered these kids and these staff members.
00:34:25.000Especially when you think of red flag laws and what they're pushing on the left, when right here, this is just, really, this is enforcing of the actual laws.
00:34:31.000The problem, really, we have a mental health crisis in this country, and the mental health system here in Nashville massively failed at multiple levels, and that's the real story here.
00:34:47.000Well, and it massively failed because people are afraid.
00:34:50.000People need to understand the history here.
00:34:51.000The DSM-IV to the DSM-V changed gender dysphoria from a mental disorder to—no, gender dysphoria, it's now actually a definition of the symptoms of someone who is transgender, and there was no study.
00:35:06.000There was no basis for that change other than political expediency.
00:35:09.000So they have to be very, very careful.
00:35:10.000Once upon a time, if someone walked in and said, hey, I want to cut off my penis or I want to sew up my vagina, I'm being very frank here, and I want to transition, they would immediately have said, okay, we need some therapy here.
00:35:33.000I want to ask you one question, then move on to what's happening with you, because I know you're experiencing a court, uh, order right now, uh, regarding what you've published.
00:35:39.000There were some rumors out there from other conservative commentators saying, actually, the Nashville- first off, they said the Nashville Manifesto wasn't authentic until the mayor confirmed that it was authentic, saying that, uh, this was actually a woman who was a victim of child, uh, child abuse.
00:36:51.000You reported, uh, last night that you've been ordered, uh, by the, is it by the court to justify what you've published?
00:37:00.000Well, actually, the state court judge, Lucia Miles, uh, who's been handling that case, uh, has, uh, ordered me to show up on Monday for a Show Cause hearing and to determine whether or not we, uh, violated her court order and be held in contempt of court.
00:37:30.000This all came about because a competitor at a local television station, WSMV, called the judge up and said, hey, you know, these guys are publishing documents that you said they shouldn't.
00:38:27.000Yes, and for people who want to support you, and please do go out and support Mr. Leahy, it's TennesseeStar.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com.com That this person left the Covenant School in fourth grade?
00:39:34.000Yeah, also I'm sure the fact that most of those people would likely be cis-privileged Christians doesn't hurt, if this is someone who's angry about the process of training.
00:39:42.000They were generally angry about affluent white Christian people, and there were a bunch of them there.
00:40:01.000I'm not so much worried about copycats as I am this is being created.
00:40:06.000Audrey Hale is not the only radical gender ideologue shooter.
00:40:10.000And we know, again, the statistics, whether it's self-harm or, like you said, homicidal ideations, it is much higher in the transgender community, and it's something to be aware of.
00:40:18.000And in this case, there's such a long record with what we know from you, it easily could have been, there could have been some kind of interceding.
00:40:26.000Maybe not stop it, but something could have been done.
00:40:30.000The key to all this is a mental health system that works, where mental health professionals understand they have a duty to warn not just intended victims, but law enforcement if one of their patients is suicidal or is homicidal in their ideation.
00:40:48.000And that's really the solution, the best option that I think we should apply going forward.
00:40:54.000Along with defunding the three-letter agencies because the FBI has no business interceding saying, yeah, you really should delete this.
00:41:10.000If they are not keeping people safe, and they are proactively hiding information that will keep people safe, they no longer serve a function, and they need to go away.
00:41:18.000I know you have to get going, but it's MichaelPatrickLahey.com, or people can follow you on X at MichaelPLahey, as I understand it.
00:41:32.000Please keep up the good fight, and let us know if there's anything new that unfolds, or that we are allowed, because we have to be very careful here.
00:41:41.000If there's information that we can publish that doesn't get you in trouble with the courts, because we've tried to be on this like a dog on a bone, and we know that you've been there too.
00:42:11.000Rolls off the tongue, tip of the lips.
00:42:14.000Well, look, I hope what this does is that it produces an opportunity for more people to come forward that would have been like, I didn't know the fourth grade thing.
00:42:21.000Maybe I just missed it when we were covering it.
00:42:22.000I had no idea that it had been that long.
00:42:25.000Graduated from college, hadn't been there since fourth grade.
00:42:28.000I mean, that information alone is saying, hey, this person looked at a mall cop and said
00:42:35.000that's more secure than a school, where the most vulnerable people in our community, other
00:42:41.000than 85 year old former vice presidents, reside. That is the place that we need to make sure, like,
00:42:48.000okay, if they're going after soft targets, then we need to make sure that this is not a soft
00:42:53.000It means you have to have, you know, Paul Blart, like you have to have a mall cop and they'll go, Oh, that's a hard target now because somebody has a gun there.
00:42:59.000Let's not forget that certain people love the mall.
00:43:26.000I'm not worried about the copycat thing so much as I'm worried that our society will just keep producing these people and we'll keep turning a blind eye because they happen to be a part of the LGBTQ mafia and we can't do anything about it.
00:43:38.000So send your tips to LWCTipsAtProtonMail.com.
00:44:05.000It's not just what they hid, meaning the authorities.
00:44:08.000If you were to have this information, and they did, whether it's, I don't know to what degree the FBI, the federal authorities had it, or local law enforcement, but I know that they had this.
00:44:18.000Not only did they do nothing, not only did nothing take place over the course of 20 years, but you would like to think that those in charge, for example, of getting to the bottom of something, would then go, oh wait a second, this person went to this school, wait a second, this person expressed hatred and violent homicidal ideation going back as far as middle school, let me ask some of their classmates.
00:44:39.000Let me ask some of their teachers, right?
00:44:41.000You see these in the films, detectives, Kojak, they're showing up going like, ah, where were you at this time?
00:44:46.000You think they're doing none of that, which is what you expect your law enforcement to do.
00:44:51.000None of that, and they're actively hiding the information, deleting, if they follow the FBI, the information that they have.
00:45:03.000This is not one of those situations where there was a shooter and they go, Straight-A student, no problem, no one saw it coming.
00:45:10.000Everyone directly involved, from the psychologists or psychiatrists, the parents, I guarantee you as well, if you were to ask them, classmates, teachers, members of the community, knew.
00:45:48.000Right now we're seeing that this actually wasn't a cis white Christian male, it was a transgender individual and you have half a dozen less.
00:46:38.000Let's make sure that illegal guns are dealt with.
00:46:42.000Let's make sure that law enforcement is held accountable.
00:46:45.000Let's make sure there's some accountability for our three-letter agencies.
00:46:48.000Let's look at the statistical realities and those people who are most likely to commit violent crimes and start with that rather than not only wasting time and resources telling everyone that they should be afraid of every cis, white, straight male, but actively pointing people towards the threats that exist.
00:47:07.000They're actively not only not taking these steps, they're lying to you about reality.
00:47:20.000Give me any example of a systemic attempt for people on the left to try and keep you, the American citizen, the law-abiding American citizen, safe.
00:47:29.000Genuinely, we'll check out the comments, and if there's a good explanation, I'll read it tomorrow.
00:48:01.000Should be happy that the story got out, WSMU, because it's news that needs to be out there for people to be able to prepare better for this and for us to handle this problem.
00:48:10.000And instead, Stacey Cameron, if this is true, standing in the way going, your honor, but your honor, you're just like somebody pointing at Jews in the attic.
00:48:37.000Maybe you should come on and have to defend why you're standing in the way and saying, haul this man into court for going out there and defying your order, your honor.
00:48:45.000Why don't you leave the Gestapo work to the Gestapo?
00:48:57.000And we don't have to play any of those games as far as someone broke a story but we can't have them on because they're with a competitor or their persona non grata because they didn't show up to speak at CPAC or they haven't actually played ball with these Republican donors.
00:50:12.000And if you want that to continue, like we said, $10 off, use the promo code UNDERCOVER, lightearthcreditor.com slash mugclub.
00:50:18.000It's a lot of work, it's a lot of stress, especially undertaking going into the election, but every now and then it hits me and I say, wow, really grateful, because I tell you what, I had to play ball for a while.
00:50:26.000I've been at some of the big agencies and I said, never again.
00:50:31.000And the UNDERCOVER unit, a lot of these people come from the same background.
00:52:21.000Because I have to buy a waist that is at least four inches larger than my waist because men's pants are not made for men with any type of an ass.
00:53:23.000The question of men's and women's sizing is a much more complicated question than it may appear, in part because the whole concept of sizing is not standardized.
00:53:33.000Well, it is standardized through inches or centimeters.
00:56:56.000Here's an excerpt, it says, given that many Americans, for some reason, are determined to be negative about the economy, for some reason, blame Amer... and then they wonder why people don't trust them.
00:57:08.000You are insulting the rest of the United States for experiencing a negative economy.
00:57:14.000It's like, for some reason, it's called their life.
00:57:19.000For some reason are determined to be negative about the economy and inflation has subsided, interest rates give them an alternative peg for their discontent.
00:58:45.000But here's why people get pissed off about the interest rates because when they go to buy a car, when they go to buy the biggest ticket purchases that they will make in their lives, it is absolutely insane how much more they have to pay now.
01:00:15.000And then in the private sector, there's a very limited portion that usually involves media, the entertainment industry, people who work in intelligentsia, where they would tend to identify more with the public sector, because they're relatively unaffected.
01:00:43.000Also, it encourages bad financial decisions, because as I understand it, you end up with a lower interest rate often now purchasing a new car compared to a used car.
