In the wake of the mass shooting at a Christian school in Uvalde, Texas, a new narrative is emerging about the motives of the shooter. Is it the fault of society, or is it the shooter's fault? and what role does the media play in this new version of the "victimology" that has emerged from the media and other anti-Christian "activists"? And is it possible that the shooter was under mental health care, but was still able to get her guns legally and was able to kill at least 7 people in the first place. Or was this a mass shooting committed by someone who was mentally ill, but not mentally ill enough to be eligible for mental health treatment, but still be able to buy weapons legally? And if so, what role did the police play in stopping this mass shooting, and why did they fail to stop it, and how did they cover up for the shooter, a transgender woman, who killed at least 8 people, including at least 3 children, in a school in Nashville, Tennessee? What is the role the media's role in all of this, and who is responsible for this mass murder, and what did they do to prevent this from happening in the First Amendment right-to-bear fruit and gun control laws? and why should there be a red flag law that would prevent mass shootings like this in the future? . Today's episode is all about intersectional victimhood and the victimhood hierarchy, and the role of the left in creating a victim-centered victimhood narrative. Join us as weaves through the new victimhood theory, and we discuss the new narrative that has been created by the media, and its impact on our society and the anti-victimhood hierarchy. and its implications for the left's response to mass shootings, and our response to these mass shootings and the reaction to the latest mass shootings in the media coverage of mass shootings. We'll talk about how this new narrative and the response to the shooting in response to this mass shootings by the right-wing media and its effect on our culture, and their response to them. in this episode of 'The New York Times article by CNN's Peter Bergenius, John Rocha, Jr. and the New York Post's Opinioed, and much, much more.

00:00:00.000 So, the intersectional victimhood hierarchy, it actually has some very real consequences.
00:00:04.000 As it turns out, the logic of the left is now that if you are a trans person who murders a bunch of Christian school kids, this is the fault of a society that refused to accept you for who you truly are.
00:00:15.000 This is the new narrative that has just dropped.
00:00:17.000 It was only a matter of time, literally the minute.
00:00:20.000 That it became clear that a trans person had murdered a bunch of Christian school kids in Nashville.
00:00:24.000 It was obvious that the media were going to turn to the narrative that it was society's fault at large.
00:00:29.000 It is your fault.
00:00:30.000 If you refuse to accept that a boy can become a girl and a girl can become a boy, then if a person who is a woman who says she is a man murders a bunch of school kids, it's because of your lack of acceptance.
00:00:38.000 If only you had been more accepting, then this would have stopped shootings like this one.
00:00:43.000 If only you had shifted the entire realistic worldview that Men and women are a sexual dichotomy.
00:00:49.000 If only you had understood that that's a lie, then this wouldn't have happened.
00:00:53.000 All those school kids would still be alive.
00:00:54.000 And probably since this was a Christian school, they maybe a little deserved it because it's a Christian school and they probably were teaching kids that boys are boys and girls are girls and they weren't agreeing with this generalized worldview. 0.55
00:01:04.000 So if a trans person shoots up a Christian school, well, it is sort of an act of resistance. 0.91
00:01:08.000 This is the narrative the media are settling on right now.
00:01:11.000 So there are new details that are now emerging in this horrific shooting at a Nashville school.
00:01:16.000 Let's start with At least one act of bravery and heroism here.
00:01:22.000 So the police officers in Nashville did not act like the police officers in Uvalde, Texas.
00:01:29.000 They actually did what they were supposed to do.
00:01:31.000 They ran toward the sound of fire.
00:01:33.000 Here is a little bit of the video.
00:01:36.000 And again, this is tremendous bravery by these officers.
00:01:38.000 They did not stop for one second.
00:01:39.000 They get out of that car, they run into the building, they run directly toward the sound of the gunshots, and they take out this mass shooter.
00:01:45.000 Here's a little bit of what that looked like.
00:01:48.000 Go stairs, go stairs, go!
00:01:50.000 Go, go, go, go!
00:01:52.000 Drop it off! 0.99
00:01:54.000 There's the police officers climbing the stairs.
00:01:56.000 They're moving again toward the sound of gunshots.
00:02:01.000 Keep pushing! 0.95
00:02:03.000 Go! 0.95
00:02:08.000 Shots fired, shots fired, shots fired, move!
00:02:11.000 Right, right, right.
00:02:16.000 Push it up.
00:02:24.000 Push to the LPBO!
00:02:24.000 Go right!
00:02:28.000 We're moving!
00:02:30.000 Clear!
00:02:31.000 Move! 0.97
00:02:32.000 Move! 0.97
00:02:34.000 Watch out!
00:02:34.000 Watch out!
00:02:36.000 Stop moving!
00:02:38.000 Stop moving!
00:02:41.000 That is the police taking out the shooter right there.
00:02:43.000 So good for them for doing exactly what they were supposed to do here.
00:02:48.000 That is Officer Rex Engelbert, one of those officers, and Second Officer Michael Colasso.
00:02:53.000 They fatally shot the heavily armed 28-year-old shooter.
00:02:57.000 So, again, good for the cops.
00:02:59.000 Again, they can only react to something that's already happening.
00:03:03.000 So, some damage had already been done, but certainly more damage and more murder was prevented by these brave and heroic police officers.
00:03:10.000 Now, we are learning more about the shooter, and it's predictably precisely what you would expect.
00:03:13.000 The shooter was under psychiatric care, according to the Nashville Police Chief.
00:03:17.000 This person was still able to buy some seven firearms and was able to obtain firearms legally.
00:03:22.000 This has led to calls for red flag laws.
00:03:24.000 Now, the next question that should be asked is whether the left would really be okay with a red flag law that said that because a person was under emotional care that they would be denied the ability to purchase a gun, particularly if that emotional care involved transgenderism.
00:03:36.000 Because according to the left, again, it is perfectly normal to believe that you're a member of the opposite sex. 0.96
00:03:40.000 There's nothing Mentally disordered about that whatsoever.
00:03:43.000 So using even that as a red flag, the left presumably would object to that.
00:03:46.000 Here is the National Police Chief announcing the obvious.
00:03:50.000 We've interviewed the parents of Audrey Hale and we've determined that Audrey bought seven firearms from five different local gun stores here legally.
00:04:04.000 They were legally purchased.
00:04:06.000 Three of those weapons were used yesterday during this horrific tragedy that happened.
00:04:15.000 We know that they felt that she had one weapon and that she sold it.
00:04:22.000 She was under care, doctor's care, for an emotional disorder.
00:04:27.000 Law enforcement knew nothing about the treatment she was receiving.
00:04:31.000 The Nashville Police Chief also announced that the school shooter wrote about several other locations in a manifesto.
00:04:35.000 Now, it is worthwhile noting here that the Nashville Police have not released the manifesto of this particular shooter.
00:04:40.000 We've seen the manifesto of nearly every other shooter, many because they are posted online beforehand.
00:04:44.000 But should the manifesto be released in this case?
00:04:47.000 Well, I mean, absolutely, given the fact that there are now a bunch of rumors swirling about the school, there's a bunch of speculation about motive.
00:04:53.000 A great way to clear all of that up is to actually release what is necessary about this person's manifesto, not to glorify what they are doing, but because it has now become an issue of public concern as to what drove the shooter, what the motivation actually was.
00:05:06.000 We'll get into that in just a moment.
00:05:07.000 Here's the Nashville police chief announcing that there were several other locations in the manifesto, which again demonstrates the heroism of the cops, because presumably if the cops hadn't been there, this person would have gone building to building shooting kids.
00:05:19.000 So in the manifesto, there's several different writings about other locations.
00:05:25.000 There were locations, there was talks about the school, there was a map of the school, a drawing of how potentially she would enter and the assaults that would take place.
00:05:40.000 That is the Nashville Chief of Police, John Drake, who again also announced that they have a manifesto, but they are not going to be releasing that manifesto.
00:05:47.000 Again, to put a lot of rumors to bed, releasing at least enough of the manifesto so people understand the motive would probably be worthwhile at this point.
00:05:54.000 All right, we'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:05:57.000 First, if you are looking at your portfolio these days, you are probably noticing that inflation has taken a real toll on your portfolio.
00:06:04.000 And with the interest rates going up, that's going to take a further toll on your portfolio.
00:06:08.000 One thing you might want to do is diversify at least a little bit into precious metals.
00:06:11.000 Diversification has never been more important.
00:06:12.000 It's the smart strategy.
00:06:13.000 Everybody I know who's a sophisticated investor has diversified their investments.
00:06:17.000 The recent surge in gold prices is directly tied to the extremely volatile market right now.
00:06:21.000 This is why gold has historically been an excellent hedge against the stock market and against inflation.
00:06:26.000 The company I trust to help you diversify into gold is Birch Gold Group.
00:06:30.000 There's a reason I own gold from Birch Gold.
00:06:31.000 You can do the same.
00:06:32.000 Text Ben to 989898.
00:06:33.000 Get a free info kit on gold today.
00:06:36.000 They'll help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical precious metals.
00:06:41.000 We've got an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, countless five-star reviews.
00:06:45.000 Birchgold is the company I trust to protect my future, as well as yours.
00:06:48.000 That's Ben to 98.98.98 today.
00:06:52.000 Again, diversification is just a smart strategy.
00:06:54.000 Take at least a little bit of your money and put it in precious metals.
00:06:56.000 Text Ben to 98.98.98 today.
00:06:59.000 Okay, so again, new details emerging about the shooter.
00:07:03.000 Apparently, the shooter had sent final messages to a friend before going and murdering a bunch of school kids.
00:07:10.000 The shooter texted to a friend, basically that post I made on here about you, that was basically a suicide note. 0.90
00:07:14.000 I'm planning to die today. This is not a joke. You'll probably hear about me on the news after I die.
00:07:18.000 This is my last goodbye. I love you. See you again in another life.
00:07:22.000 And the friend wrote back, you have so much more life to live. I pray God keeps and covers you.
00:07:26.000 And this person writes back, I know, but I don't want to live. I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to upset you or get attention. I just need to die. I wanted to tell you first because you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen and known all my life.
00:07:34.000 My family doesn't know what I'm about to do.
00:07:36.000 One day this will make more sense, but I've left more than enough evidence behind.
00:07:39.000 But something bad is about to happen.
00:07:41.000 Well, the friend immediately called the cops.
00:07:42.000 Unfortunately, by the time the cops were called, it was too late to stop this person.
00:07:46.000 She called the cops at 10.13 a.m.
00:07:48.000 The shooting began at 10.14 a.m.
00:07:49.000 So there just wasn't time for the cops to respond and stop this thing preemptively.
00:07:54.000 But the narrative is already beginning to form here from the media.
00:07:58.000 And the narrative is, because again, The media separates all of the human populations into victims and victimizers.
00:08:05.000 Not based on their actions, based on their identities.
00:08:08.000 So if you're a member of a victim class, you cannot by necessity be a victimizer in the same way that the left has redefined racism to mean racism plus power, which means that if you're a black person who hates white people, you can't be a racist because you're a member of a victimized class.
00:08:21.000 In that exact same way, if you're a trans person who shoots up a Christian school, you're a member of a victim class. 0.98
00:08:25.000 The Christian school kids are not members of a victim class.
00:08:28.000 Therefore, we must find a narrative that allows you to maintain your victimhood status.
00:08:32.000 And that's precisely what the media have attempted to do today.
00:08:35.000 The real victim here is not the school kids who were gunned down for their Christian beliefs.
00:08:39.000 And by the way, this is, in fact, a hate crime. 0.93
00:08:42.000 When a trans person goes to a Christian school and shoots up the school, that is no different than when a white supremacist goes to a Jewish synagogue and murders the constituents. 0.97
00:08:50.000 There is no difference whatsoever. 0.98
00:08:51.000 That is an ideologically motivated murder of innocent people.
00:08:54.000 And that's exactly what apparently happened here.
00:08:56.000 And so the media have immediately shifted into What some people online are calling Hamas mode.
00:09:01.000 Hamas mode is where a terrorist group shoots a bunch of missiles into an innocent Jewish area and the media have sympathy for the people shooting the missiles.
00:09:07.000 So they turn it into a cycle of violence.
00:09:09.000 It must be because they're motivated to do this thing.
00:09:11.000 Society has driven them to this extremism.
00:09:14.000 And they've moved into that mode almost immediately.
00:09:18.000 So, for example, the UK Daily Mail is now reporting Twisted School Shooter was at odds with her devout Christian parents because they couldn't accept she was gay and transgender.
00:09:27.000 Daily Mail can exclusively reveal Church Coordinator Norma, 61, her husband Ronald, 64, refused to let their daughter, who had recently adopted a male name and used he-him pronouns, dress as a man in their home.
00:09:38.000 The 28-year-old loner would instead wait until she left their $700,000 national property to change outfits, according to a well-placed source. 1.00
00:09:44.000 She was a woman at home, but when she left the house, she changed clothes.
00:09:47.000 They didn't know about it.
00:09:48.000 They just didn't accept it.
00:09:49.000 Neighbors in the tree-lined suburban street where the family lived for three decades said they were clueless about the apparent transition and remembered her as a skater tomboy type.
00:09:57.000 She introduced herself about a year and a half ago by a female name, said one.
00:10:00.000 I treated her like a female. 0.99
00:10:01.000 She didn't correct me.
00:10:01.000 She seemed artistic, quiet, and well-mannered.
00:10:04.000 Police now say, apparently, that more attacks were on board.
00:10:08.000 Now, again, the hijacking of a person's life by an ideology that is a lie, a lie that you can become a member of the opposite sex, That is not the problem, according to the media.
00:10:19.000 When people have their minds perverted and twisted by a lie, that's not the problem.
00:10:22.000 The problem is that you refuse to accept the lie as a general standard in society.
00:10:26.000 And so, now the left is split along two separate courses.
00:10:30.000 One is to pretend that we can't identify the motive.
00:10:32.000 We have no idea why this happened.
00:10:33.000 It's all a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
00:10:35.000 In the same way that the Fort Hood shooting was a mystery wrapped, we had no idea what the motive was.
00:10:39.000 It was clear that the person, a Muslim who had murdered a bunch of American service members, that that person was doing so because that person had terrorist motives. 0.89
00:10:47.000 We pretended for literally years, going back to the Bush administration, we pretended that that had nothing to do with Islamic motivation, radical Islamic motivation whatsoever.
00:10:54.000 Because again, when you're a member of the quote-unquote victimized class, we have to pretend to weigh the motive.
00:10:59.000 Or, alternatively, we have to use some sort of jujitsu to determine that your motive was actually created by the intolerance of an evil society, an evil decadent society around you, a society that refuses to accept you as you are.
00:11:12.000 And so you can see that split emerging on the left. On the one side, you have the people who are going to pretend that there is no motive. On the other side, they're going to say there is a motive, but the motive is really driven by those evil Christian people. It's really because the Christians are mean and nasty that all of this is happening. 0.98
00:11:24.000 And so the big takeaway here from Christian school kids being murdered by a trans person is that Christians need to change. 0.99
00:11:31.000 That's going to be the big takeaway right here.
00:11:32.000 Get to that momentarily first.
00:11:34.000 With the current rate of inflation, prices of essential goods are not going down anytime soon.
00:11:38.000 Inflation is now baked into the cake.
00:11:39.000 So you got to be looking at how you can cut your bills.
00:11:41.000 Well, one way you can cut your bills is by taking a look at that phone bill.
00:11:44.000 You've heard me talk a lot about supporting companies that support your values.
00:11:47.000 This is one reason I'm a Pure Talk customer.

00:12:20.000 Why would you spend too much money on one of the big guys when you could be saving a lot of money by using PeerTalk?
00:12:24.000 And one of the things that I did is switched all of my business calls over to PeerTalk.
00:12:28.000 They have the same tower network as one of the big guys.
00:12:28.000 The coverage is excellent.
00:12:31.000 So, do the same thing I did.
00:12:32.000 Head on over to PeerTalk.com, use promo code SHAPIRO.
00:12:35.000 Okay, so.
00:12:37.000 Again, the left-wing line is now split along two separate headings.
00:12:42.000 One is, we have no idea what the motive is.
00:12:43.000 It's all a mystery.
00:12:44.000 This is led by some of the political class, who are a little bit more cautious for the moment.
00:12:48.000 And this would be led by, for example, Merrick Garland, the Attorney General.
00:12:51.000 So Merrick Garland was asked about the motive.
00:12:54.000 by Senator Kennedy from Louisiana.
00:12:56.000 Why isn't this being investigated as a hate crime?
00:12:58.000 I mean, normally, again, you know if the situation were reversed, it not only would be addressed as a hate crime by Merrick Garland, Merrick Garland was literally trying to identify school parents who were being mean to school board members using the FBI.
00:13:10.000 But apparently Merrick Garland has no clue.
00:13:13.000 It's a mystery wrapped in enigma.
00:13:14.000 There's no reason to suspect the motive in this particular case.
00:13:17.000 Again, if the situation were reversed, let's say that there were a straight white male who went to a progressive school in Santa Monica where there are a bunch of quote-unquote trans kids and started murdering the trans kids.
00:13:25.000 Not only would the DOJ be investigating, it would be a two-year long media news cycle about the intolerance of American society towards trans people.
00:13:33.000 It would become the key issue in the 2024 presidential race.
00:13:36.000 But if you're Merrick Garland, the head of the DOJ right now, you just can't tell.
00:13:38.000 It's a mystery.
00:13:39.000 Here's Merrick Garland yesterday.
00:13:39.000 Who knows?
00:13:41.000 Do you plan on opening a hate crime investigation for the targeting of Christians?
00:13:49.000 The FBI and ATF are both on the scene working with the local police.
00:13:56.000 As of now, motive hasn't been identified and the police chief said at his last press conference that they don't yet have reached a conclusion with respect to motive.
00:14:06.000 We are certainly working full-time with them to try and determine what the motive is and of course motive is what determines whether it's a hate crime or not.
00:14:15.000 Oh, well, I mean, I guess you do have to be very careful, careful like Joe Biden.
00:14:19.000 So the President of the United States, he was asked yesterday about the motivation in this particular case, and he sort of let the cat out of the bag.
00:14:27.000 He kind of admitted that the narrative that he decides upon is essentially driven by reactionary politics, that if the right says that this is a hate crime against Christians, he will immediately shift into it's not a hate crime against Christians.
00:14:37.000 Here is the President of the United States, our befuddled and bemused elderly gentleman.
00:14:42.000 Do you believe that Christians were targeted in the pastoral school shootings?
00:14:50.000 I have no idea.
00:14:52.000 Well, I probably don't then.
00:14:53.000 What do you see in a bat? 0.85
00:14:55.000 Well, I probably don't, Pat.
00:14:56.000 Probably don't, Pat.
00:14:58.000 No, I have no idea.
00:15:00.000 That is a... 0.96
00:15:01.000 What a perverse human being. 0.86
00:15:02.000 I mean, seriously, that is just perverse.
00:15:04.000 Senator Howley says that it might be a hate crime.
00:15:07.000 Well, if he says it's a hate crime, I probably disagree.
00:15:09.000 So in other words, you're just deciding on the narrative based on what your political opponents say.
00:15:13.000 You're not going to look at the facts.
00:15:14.000 You're not going to examine the actual issue here.
00:15:17.000 You're just going to decide that based on the fact that Josh Howley said a thing, it can't be true.
00:15:20.000 And the, I don't know, I don't know.
00:15:22.000 By the way, making jokes at this time also.
00:15:24.000 Can you imagine any other mass shooting situation in which the President of the United States is making jokes?
00:15:29.000 Making actual jokes?
00:15:30.000 By the way, this is the second straight day that he has done this.
00:15:32.000 You'll recall that yesterday, Joe Biden, when he was talking about this, he came down and made jokes about ice cream to open his presser on this particular issue.
00:15:40.000 There is no other... The victims have something to do with this.
00:15:44.000 Again, the narrative rules all, and for the left, number one move here is just pretend they don't know the motive, and number two move is going to be blaming Christians and conservatives for a trans person murdering Christian conservative children, presumably.
00:15:59.000 On the we have no idea what happened side of the ledger, or we must obscure what happened side of the ledger, you have Reuters.
00:16:04.000 So Reuters put out a tweet yesterday that says, quote, former Christian school student kills three children, three staff in national shooting.
00:16:10.000 Oh, is that what's happening here?
00:16:12.000 It's a former Christian school student.
00:16:14.000 Now, this is just, obviously, perversity by omission, because we all know what exactly happened here.
00:16:20.000 The story here is not disgruntled former Christian school student, deranged former Christian school student.
00:16:25.000 The story here is trans person who apparently was motivated by anti-Christian animus did this.
00:16:31.000 I mean, like, this is, nothing is being hidden.
00:16:34.000 All of this is now coming out.
00:16:36.000 But the media have now shifted into defense mode. 0.91
00:16:39.000 So, Christian school kids get murdered by a trans person.
00:16:42.000 Who are the real victims? 0.94
00:16:43.000 The trans community.
00:16:44.000 That's who the real victims are.
00:16:46.000 Shades of, after 9-11, we have to be very careful that too many peaceful Muslims getting targeted on the streets. 1.00
00:16:51.000 Remember, there was nothing but 10 years of stories about how Muslims had it really, really hard in America after 9-11.
00:16:56.000 How Muslims were the real victims here? 0.95
00:16:58.000 The media love this, this kind of stuff.
00:17:00.000 Because again, they have a pre-set narrative.
00:17:02.000 It's all about identity class.
00:17:04.000 If you're a member of a protected identity class and somebody from your identity class does something bad, that person didn't do something bad, you maintain your victimhood status and that must be maintained above all.
00:17:14.000 So why, by the way, does the left insist?
00:17:16.000 Why do progressives insist on this division between the victims and the victimizers based on identity, not based on action?
00:17:21.000 Because if you admit That individuals should be judged based on their actions.
00:17:25.000 That you are either a victim or a victimizer based on what you do.
00:17:28.000 It destroys their entire worldview.
00:17:30.000 Their entire worldview is predicated on the idea that the system is dominated by victimizers.
00:17:34.000 People who are successful are victimizers.
00:17:36.000 People who are marginalized or unsuccessful, those people are victims of the society.
00:17:40.000 And they are going to create a coalition of the victimized in order to take on the victimizers and recapture the center of all morality in American politics.
00:17:48.000 That is presumably the goal here.
00:17:50.000 That's the only thing that can explain the politically motivated narrative making that's happening right here.
00:17:54.000 So for example, NBC News put out a piece yesterday titled, We were already fearing for our lives.
00:18:00.000 Now it's even worse.
00:18:06.000 Oh, trans people are fearing for their lives.
00:18:07.000 You know who was actually fearing for their lives?
00:18:10.000 Would have been the Christian school children who were murdered. 1.00
00:18:12.000 That would be the people who were fearing for their lives.
00:18:14.000 Legitimately, since three of them are dead, plus our three adults, at this Christian school. 0.94
00:18:18.000 But according to NBC News, the real threat, the real victims here are members of the trans community. 0.73
00:18:23.000 Quote, shortly after news broke Monday of a fatal shooting at a private Christian National Elementary School, police said the suspect was transgender.
00:18:29.000 This detail, according to trans people in the state, has poured fuel on an already combustive environment that has led many of them to fear for their safety.
00:18:36.000 Well, I mean, that's clearly the real victims.
00:18:40.000 Now, we've spent zero time on the actual victims here.
00:18:43.000 The media spent zero time on, you know, the targeting of Christians.
00:18:46.000 If you wanted to tie this into a broader narrative about the victimized in American society, and you're talking about the murder of Christians, perhaps you should talk about You know, the widespread vandalism of churches that's been happening in the aftermath of Roe vs. Wade, for example.
00:18:56.000 The widespread vandalism against pro-life centers that's been happening.
00:18:59.000 The DOJ refuses to investigate any of those sorts.
00:19:02.000 Again, those are not the victimizers.
00:19:03.000 They have too much power in American society.
00:19:05.000 So we're not going to focus on the people who actually got shot.
00:19:07.000 We're not going to focus on their families or their community.
00:19:10.000 We're going to focus on the real victims.
00:19:12.000 People who have ideological kinship with the shooter.
00:19:14.000 Those are the people who we really need to focus on.
00:19:18.000 Not that they are responsible for the shooting.
00:19:19.000 They're not responsible for the shooting.
00:19:20.000 But we have to focus on people who share the general ideology that men can be women and women can be men.
00:19:27.000 Those are the real victims.
00:19:28.000 Denise Sadler, according to NBC News, a drag performer who is transgender, said she had already hired four armed guards before Monday's shooting to secure a drag show she is hosting at a gay bar in Nashville this weekend.
00:19:37.000 Following the anti-trans rhetoric spawned by the shooting, Sadler says she is now planning to hire eight.
00:19:41.000 So again, we have to focus on the people who really are suffering.
00:19:43.000 density is going to trigger a community of people who already hated us to come and try to shoot us to prove a point," said Sadler.
00:19:47.000 At the end of the day, there's a lot of hurt going on, there's a lot of anger going on, there's a lot of confusion going on.
00:19:52.000 So again, we have to focus on the people who really are suffering.
00:19:56.000 The trans people, not the members of the community. 1.00
00:19:58.000 That's one radical group said this out loud.
00:20:02.000 The Trans Resistance Network, a far-left transgender collective, they put out a statement on Monday calling the mass murder a dual tragedy.
00:20:09.000 The group said that the first tragedy was the death of the kids and the adults, but there's a second and more complex tragedy, and that is the tragedy of the shooter, who felt she had no other effective way to be seen than to lash out by taking the life of others, and by consequences, himself.
00:20:25.000 Ah, yes, it's a dual victim.
00:20:27.000 The Trans Radical Network wrote, they do not claim to know the individual or have access to their inner thoughts and feelings, but they do know that life for transgender people is very difficult and made more difficult in the preceding months by a virtual avalanche of anti-trans legislation and public call-outs by right-wing personalities and political figures for nothing less than the genocidal eradication of trans people from society.
00:20:45.000 Is it possible that radicalization toward violence takes place because you keep claiming that if we, in the rational community, forget conservative leftists, the rational community who believe that there are men and there are women and men can't become women, Is it possible that when you say that we are genociding you, that this leads to radicalization?
00:21:01.000 That that is a radicalizing worldview?
00:21:04.000 We'll get to more on that in just one second.
00:21:06.000 First, you know what America could use a little bit more of is God.
00:21:09.000 We can use a little bit more religion.
00:21:10.000 We can use a little more values in our life.
00:21:12.000 Just like physical exercise, daily spiritual exercise is critical to America's well-being and your well-being, especially now with insanity all around us.
00:21:19.000 There's no better time to be rooted in your faith.
00:21:21.000 Hallow helps you maintain a daily prayer routine.
00:21:23.000 It's filled with studies, meditations, and reflections rooted in Judeo-Christian practices.
00:21:28.000 You can pray alongside Mark Wahlberg, Jonathan Roime, who portrays Jesus in The Chosen, and even some world-class athletes.
00:21:33.000 You can access the number one Christian podcast Bible in a year with Father Mike Schmitz on Hallow.
00:21:37.000 I'm not a Lent keeper, obviously, I'm an Orthodox Jew, but it is a powerful spiritual time for many Christians to abstain from luxuries and more deeply embrace their faith.
00:21:44.000 Hallow can be an amazing resource at this time.
00:21:46.000 It's really important that people re-embrace their faith, that people re-embrace the Church if you're a Christian.
00:21:50.000 You need to re-embrace the values that unite you with a godly system of morality.

00:21:58.000 That's H-A-L-L-O-W dot com. 1.00
00:22:02.000 Okay, so the folks on the TikToks, they've been promoting the same ideology.
00:22:14.000 The ideology is, of course, that the real victim here is the trans shooter.
00:22:17.000 So here's one TikToker saying that the Nashville shooting victims would be alive today if it were not for the quote-unquote anti-trans bills in the Tennessee legislature.
00:22:25.000 I wonder if the parents of the victims of the Nashville shooting today would still have their children if these trans bills in Tennessee were never a thing. 0.85
00:22:40.000 I'm not a parent, but if I were, I'd be real, real mad at the government.
00:22:45.000 I'd be real, real mad at the government.
00:22:47.000 Oh, well, you're mad at the government now. 0.98
00:22:52.000 Yes, clearly the problem is discrimination against the trans community by the Tennessee legislature, which of course means that apparently trans people get to shoot Christian school kids.
00:23:02.000 Here's another TikToker who's going even further, suggesting that it's time for trans people to—this is after the shooting—trans people must violently resist the predations of the surrounding society.
00:23:11.000 Those predations include the idea that men cannot be women. 0.98
00:23:15.000 Trans people in Tennessee, it's time to f***ing fight. 1.00
00:23:18.000 Trans allies in Tennessee, it's time to f***ing fight. 1.00
00:23:21.000 Trans women, if they lock you up for identifying as a woman, fight. 0.99
00:23:26.000 Resist. 1.00
00:23:27.000 You're gonna die anyways. 1.00
00:23:28.000 We're going to die anyways. 1.00
00:23:29.000 It's time to f***ing resist. 1.00
00:23:31.000 Fight them. 1.00
00:23:32.000 Hurt them. 1.00
00:23:34.000 If they put their hands on you, beat them. 1.00
00:23:36.000 I don't even know what to say about that.
00:23:41.000 Again, the call to actual violence by some folks is now considered perfectly within boundaries because, after all, American society is filled with bigotry.
00:23:52.000 By the way, it's not just random TikTokers. 0.88
00:23:53.000 The press secretary for the governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, put out a totally insane tweet. 1.00
00:23:59.000 How insane was this tweet?
00:24:00.000 The press secretary now had to protect her own Twitter feed. 0.99
00:24:04.000 She went private.
00:24:04.000 Her name is Jocelyn Berry.
00:24:06.000 This is after the shooting.
00:24:08.000 She put up a tweet.
00:24:09.000 It's a picture of a woman with two guns pointing off camera and it says, us when we see transphobes.
00:24:17.000 So literally in the aftermath of the murder of kids by a trans person, the press secretary to Katie Hobbs put up a tweet saying, us when we see transphobes with guns pointing.
00:24:31.000 Absolutely not.
00:24:32.000 But again, all of this is well within boundaries, apparently.
00:24:35.000 Because all that matters, really, is that the narrative be preserved.
00:24:39.000 Oliver Willis of the ex-Gerbil Media Matters, he tweeted out, quote, Anyway, here is the front page of Rupert Murdoch's New York Post today.
00:24:54.000 All the New York Post said was, transgender killer targets Christian school, which is exactly what happened.
00:24:58.000 So it's like Der Schirmer now.
00:24:59.000 That was retweeted, of course, by Alejandra Caraballo, the trans activist who's at one of the Harvard Law School associated bodies.
00:25:07.000 It's just gaslighting and insanity.
00:25:10.000 Next-level insanity.
00:25:12.000 And this has become quasi-mainstream, apparently.
00:25:15.000 I mean, this is Apparently the Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan was caught wearing a shirt that says Protect Trans Kids with a knife on it.
00:25:28.000 I'd say, like, again, imagine the situation being reversed, and you know exactly what everybody would be saying.
00:25:34.000 You know exactly what everybody... Cenk Uygur, he tweeted out, And it's your fault.
00:25:37.000 seems to celebrate that Nashville Shooter was trans as if that vindicates them. 0.99
00:25:41.000 WTF? 0.97
00:25:42.000 Doesn't that prove that maybe you guys shouldn't bully people about who they are? 1.00
00:25:44.000 If you think the answer is more bullying, you missed the point and are probably a terrible person.
00:25:48.000 And it's your fault.
00:25:49.000 And then there's line number three, which is of course the traditional gun control line from the left. 0.99
00:25:54.000 Now the most irritating form of this line is coming courtesy of people like Jon Stewart, but now being repeated across the media as though it's a smart point, even though it is a ridiculously stupid point. 0.82
00:26:03.000 You remember that Jon Stewart had on a state legislature, I believe it was from Oklahoma, talking about some bills that were attempting to restrict trans indoctrination of kids. 0.96
00:26:11.000 And he was like, well, you know, guns kill kids, and now it's you banning guns, which of course is a complete non sequitur.
00:26:17.000 What you are trying to prevent is the indoctrination of children into a gender cult that screws with their brains.
00:26:23.000 On the other, you're talking about the complexity of a Second Amendment right.
00:26:23.000 On the one hand.
00:26:26.000 There are already laws against people shooting kids.
00:26:30.000 There are already laws against, for example, people bringing guns into schools in most of these places, particularly if you're not licensed.
00:26:37.000 This is Obviously true, but it doesn't matter.
00:26:41.000 Jon Stewart said it, so we have to pretend it's intelligent, and then we have to repeat it over and over and over.
00:26:45.000 So CNN's Brian Kayyem was doing this routine yesterday saying, pronouns don't kill kids, guns do.
00:26:50.000 Well, as it turns out, the ideology that promotes the idea that men can be women and women can be men, and that if society refuses to accept you, then society is to blame.
00:26:58.000 And perhaps, perhaps, Violent activity against that society is justified.
00:27:02.000 Maybe that ideology is, in fact, quite radical.
00:27:06.000 But, again, the idea here is we have to ignore this one issue.
00:27:09.000 Stop paying attention to this issue over here that's really disturbing and messed up.
00:27:12.000 Stop paying attention.
00:27:13.000 Let's pay attention to guns. 1.00
00:27:14.000 We can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
00:27:17.000 It is amazing how, for the left, the inanimate object suddenly becomes the root of all evil the minute that the person wielding the inanimate object seems to be on their own ideological side.
00:27:26.000 This is where we have to now focus on an important part of an agenda, which includes mental health, protecting our kids, fortifying schools, but also the connectivity, which is a certain kind of gun.
00:27:39.000 Look, pronouns do not kill children.
00:27:43.000 People with guns kill children, and it's going to be a distraction in our coverage and keep us from what we now know, which is each of these cases has a similarity more than any difference.
00:27:56.000 Oh, it's the gun.
00:27:56.000 The gun.
00:27:57.000 So, then you have Joy Reid doing the same routine. 0.54
00:27:57.000 Right, okay. 0.54
00:28:00.000 This is Joy Reid, again, suggesting that we must ignore all of the gender ideology issues surrounding this particular case and focus in on gun control.
00:28:09.000 But you have this in the state of Tennessee, which, you know, ironically is the Scopes Monkey Trial state, right, where they used to have a law against teaching evolution in public high schools, in public schools.
00:28:20.000 They now are racing to enact these First Amendment limiting laws to limit things like drag shows. 0.65
00:28:26.000 You have rampant book banning.
00:28:28.000 I think Tennessee might be the most aggressive book banning state.
00:28:31.000 Even more so than Florida.
00:28:32.000 And so they're essentially saying it's too dangerous to allow children to be exposed to a drag show.
00:28:38.000 A drag queen isn't as dangerous to children. 1.00
00:28:40.000 These books are dangerous to children.
00:28:42.000 But when it comes to guns, they're like, no, put more guns where children are. 0.65
00:28:46.000 It is an irony that's hard to get away from during this time of moral panic over books, history and drag shows.
00:28:53.000 So just to be clear about this, she's saying that kids should be able to view pornography in order to protect them?
00:28:59.000 Is that apparently her connection here?
00:29:01.000 I'm missing the counter logic.
00:29:03.000 I need to hear her argument explicitly spelled out.
00:29:05.000 I guess the idea is that if we ban guns but give kids pornography, that's the solution.
00:29:10.000 That's weird, by the way.
00:29:12.000 If there had been somebody on premises with a gun, it turns out it took a person with a gun to stop the evil person with the gun.
00:29:19.000 In this case, as in nearly all other cases, it took an actual human with a gun to stop the bad person who was carrying a gun.
00:29:25.000 There wasn't a school resource officer on campus, anywhere on campus, at this time.
00:29:30.000 We'll get to more on the gun control push in just one second.
00:29:33.000 First, let's talk about the fact your business has gone through a rough time over the past few years, whether you are talking about COVID, when your business had to shut down because the government made you shut down, whether you're talking about Biden inflation, whether you're now talking about economic stagnation.
00:29:47.000 You need to get some of the money back you shouldn't have paid to the federal government.
00:29:49.000 It turns out a lot of people overpaid to the federal government during COVID because there was, in fact, something called the Employee Retention Credit that was available to you during COVID.
00:29:58.000 If you didn't take advantage of it, then you lost out.
00:30:00.000 Or did you?
00:30:01.000 You need to claw that money back by going to GetRefunds.com.
00:30:04.000 Innovation Refunds knows the value of your time.
00:30:06.000 That's why they made it easy to apply for the Employee Retention Credit.
00:30:09.000 Go to GetRefunds.com to get started in less than eight minutes.
00:30:11.000 See if your business qualifies for ERC assistance.
00:30:13.000 Your business might be eligible for a payroll tax rebate of up to $26,000 per employee kept on payroll during COVID-19.
00:30:20.000 Innovation Refunds has already helped clients claim over $3 billion in payroll tax refunds through the ERC.
00:30:24.000 They might be able to help your business as well.
00:30:25.000 There's no upfront charge.
00:30:26.000 They don't get paid until your business gets its refund.
00:30:28.000 Don't miss this opportunity.
00:30:29.000 The payroll tax refund is only available for a limited amount of time.
00:30:32.000 Go to GetRefunds.com.
00:30:34.000 Again, that is GetRefunds.com.
00:30:36.000 GetRefunds.com.
00:30:37.000 Go check them out right now.
00:30:39.000 Also, One of the biggest differences between Christianity and Judaism is the way in which topics like loss and adultery are approached.
00:30:45.000 In episode 12 of Jordan Peterson's series on the Book of Exodus, Dennis Prager addressed this topic head-on.
00:30:50.000 In addition to Dennis, I joined Jordan alongside a group of esteemed scholars, theologians, and artists to discuss one of the most seminal books in the Bible.
00:30:58.000 I am less interested in the interior person, morally speaking, than you are, than probably any of you are.
00:31:04.000 And it's largely, I do believe, because I come from a behaviorist, law-based religion.
00:31:11.000 We care how you act.
00:31:12.000 That's why we don't have a claim that if you look at another woman with lust, it's as if you've committed adultery with her.
00:31:18.000 I am, as I said yesterday, I thank God for America's Christians.
00:31:24.000 And Maimonides said if it weren't for Christians, the world wouldn't know about the Torah. 0.76
00:31:28.000 So I'm a big Christian fan.
00:31:31.000 But obviously Christianity and Judaism are not identical religions.
00:31:36.000 And we have no equivalent that if you look upon another woman with lust, it's as if you have committed adultery with your heart.
00:31:43.000 There's only one way to commit adultery in Judaism, and it's with a different organ. 0.97
00:31:47.000 And I'm not being cute, I'm being very realistic.
00:31:50.000 It is a fantastic series.
00:31:51.000 It was a privilege for me to take part in it.
00:31:53.000 I think you'll find it really insightful and interesting.

00:32:03.000 Okay, so the Nashville mayor has decided that he is going to jump in on the action.
00:32:07.000 The push for gun control is renewed.
00:32:09.000 Now, it's not going anywhere because, again, the left actually has no solution to the problem of mass shootings.
00:32:14.000 It turns out that rifles are used in a wild minority of shootings in the United States.
00:32:19.000 The vast majority of shootings in the United States happen with handguns.
00:32:22.000 There's no actual efficacy-laden plan for gun control that has had any marked impact on mass shootings in the United States.
00:32:30.000 That's not the way that this works.
00:32:31.000 But here's the national mayor blaming an inanimate object.
00:32:34.000 Guns lead to tragedies. 0.98
00:32:36.000 And whatever your political feelings are, we should not be celebrating the cult of the gun.
00:32:43.000 And the country needs to pick itself up and say no to an assault weapons lobby that, again, is making it too available and too convenient and too first of mind for people to go out and commit terrible acts.
00:33:02.000 The cult of the gun.
00:33:03.000 The cult of the gun.
00:33:04.000 Again, I have a question.
00:33:04.000 Who's a member of the cult of guns?
00:33:05.000 You worship the gun?
00:33:07.000 Who worships guns?
00:33:08.000 The cult?
00:33:08.000 Like, really?
00:33:09.000 But, according to the left, there's a cult of the gun wherein you love guns more than you love children.
00:33:14.000 No one believes this.
00:33:15.000 I'm a gun owner.
00:33:16.000 I have three kids going on four.
00:33:17.000 The reason I own my guns is to protect my kids.
00:33:20.000 This happens to be true for the vast majority of gun owners.
00:33:24.000 But again, the idea that the gun is the problem, really what that is, is that's a substitute for the idea that gun owners are the problem.
00:33:30.000 That really is the lie, okay?
00:33:31.000 When they say that they want gun control, what they really mean is that they don't trust a huge percentage of Americans with guns.
00:33:37.000 And they never explain exactly who they want to remove the guns from.
00:33:39.000 In fact, Joe Biden will go out of his way to say, no, no, no, no, I don't mean like normal American citizen, but he does mean normal American citizen, obviously.
00:33:45.000 So our doddering president yesterday decided to speak about all of this.
00:33:49.000 First of all, I just, I wish to note here that, you know, it's beating a dead horse almost literally.
00:33:54.000 Because the President of the United States is not with us.
00:33:56.000 He's just not with us.
00:33:57.000 There's a clip of the President of the United States being told literally where to walk by people.
00:34:02.000 I mean, it's just... Placing Alzheimer's-ridden grandpa in the family photo over here.
00:34:11.000 Yes, sir.
00:34:12.000 Down the ramp.
00:34:14.000 And we have people lined up on the left over here.
00:34:18.000 Some union leaders and workers.
00:34:20.000 Hey guys and ladies.
00:34:22.000 Your mark is going to be the blue one to the left.
00:34:28.000 How y'all doing?
00:34:30.000 You've got a blue mark, and that's OK.
00:34:32.000 I'll stay in my blue mark, but then I'm going to say low D20.
00:34:35.000 I'll help you get started.
00:34:35.000 Yes, sir.
00:34:37.000 Hmm.
00:34:38.000 Hmm.
00:34:39.000 So, um, yeah, things are going well.
00:34:41.000 Here's President Biden pushing gun control yesterday.
00:34:45.000 These are weapons of war.
00:34:46.000 I'm a Second Amendment guy.
00:34:47.000 No, you're not.
00:34:48.000 I have two shotguns.
00:34:49.000 My sons have shotguns.
00:34:51.000 You know, but our states, you know, everybody thinks somehow the Second Amendment is absolute.
00:34:56.000 You're not allowed to go out and own him.
00:34:58.000 An automatic weapon.
00:34:59.000 You're not allowed to own a machine gun.
00:35:00.000 You're not allowed to own a flamethrower.
00:35:01.000 You're not allowed to own so many other things.
00:35:03.000 You are allowed to own a flamethrower.
00:35:04.000 Why in God's name do we allow these weapons of war on our streets and at our schools?
00:35:09.000 He's not a Second Amendment guy.
00:35:10.000 By the way, who is... I have a question.
00:35:13.000 Was the gun at the school wielded by a legal gun-owning teacher at the school?
00:35:17.000 Like, who was in favor of a trans murderer at the school with the gun? 0.95
00:35:21.000 Like, name the person who's like, oh, that sounds like a great idea to me. 0.98
00:35:23.000 I would love to have this murderer at the school with the gun.
00:35:26.000 Like, who is... 0.94
00:35:27.000 It's such a lie, but again, it's all just emotional blackmail.
00:35:31.000 Here's Corinne Jean-Pierre, the world's worst press secretary, saying to Republicans, what would you say to these parents?
00:35:36.000 What would you say to the parents?
00:35:37.000 I have many things to say to the parents.
00:35:39.000 The first thing I would say to the parents is, I'm so sorry this happened to your kids.
00:35:43.000 Your kids are the victims, not the shooter.
00:35:45.000 That's the first thing that I would say to the parents.
00:35:48.000 That's the first thing I would say to the parents.
00:35:49.000 You won't say that to the parents.
00:35:51.000 And what would you say to the parents?
00:35:52.000 By the way, do they even bother to ask how many of these parents themselves are gun owners?
00:35:57.000 I guarantee you the answer is a lot of them.
00:35:59.000 This is Nashville, Tennessee at a Christian school.
00:36:03.000 But Corinne Jean-Pierre knows best.
00:36:04.000 And she's all sympathy.
00:36:06.000 She's all sympathy.
00:36:08.000 What I will say to Republicans in Congress is, what are you going to say to these parents?
00:36:16.000 What are you going to say to these parents?
00:36:17.000 You're going to say to them the same thing that you say to everybody who's been affected by a tragedy or an act of evil.
00:36:23.000 You sit with them in silence because there's no good answer to the problem of human evil.
00:36:28.000 There's no amazing answer to the problem of human evil.
00:36:31.000 And the stuff that is preventable is precisely the stuff that you won't let anyone do.
00:36:35.000 It's unbelievable.
00:36:36.000 Meanwhile, you have the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, saying we need gun control.
00:36:41.000 You want to talk about people who have no leg to stand on on any moral grounds.
00:36:44.000 Randi Weingarten, who forcibly shut down schools for kids for like two years, and who's presided over the destruction of the American public school system, she has thoughts on gun control. 0.99
00:36:54.000 Today, we renew our call for common sense gun safety legislation, including a ban on assault weapons.
00:37:04.000 This is an epidemic.
00:37:08.000 It's an epidemic that our great nation must solve.
00:37:13.000 And how many lives will be shattered Before we have the courage to do what Scotland did, what Australia did, what New Zealand did, what other great democracies do.
00:37:31.000 I'm looking forward to all Democrats embracing the idea that we need a massive gun confiscation plan.
00:37:34.000 Let's see how that goes over electorally.
00:37:37.000 The reason Democrats keep spitting into the wind here is specifically because they know it's going nowhere.
00:37:42.000 Meanwhile, the media have jumped into this and they're going to try to use corporate pressure now to cudgel all of the corporations into pushing gun control.
00:37:51.000 So the Washington Post yesterday decided to run a graphic showing the damage done from a bullet fired by an AR-15.
00:37:57.000 I mean, as though a bullet fired from a handgun wouldn't be damaging enough to kill somebody, despite the fact that the vast majority of killings in the United States occur using a handgun.
00:38:06.000 So, here's a little bit of their graphic display.
00:38:09.000 The piece is called The Blast Effect.
00:38:10.000 This is how bullets from an AR-15 blow the body apart.
00:38:14.000 And they say, editor's note, we are publishing these 3D animations to show the destructive power of the AR-15.
00:38:19.000 These images may disturb some people.
00:38:20.000 Again, the idea is that AR-15, if you don't have an AR-15, then nobody is actually going to die.
00:38:25.000 That AR-15s are going to save, banning AR-15s is the solution. 1.00
00:38:29.000 And the data just don't exist to promote this idea.
00:38:32.000 You know, you can do this about literally any weapon.
00:38:35.000 I noticed one thing that they're not doing is a series on the damage done by a knife to the chest.
00:38:41.000 Is it not perfectly obvious that an AR-15 fired at someone can kill someone?
00:38:44.000 This is literally what you are taught.
00:38:46.000 This is the first thing that you are taught when you begin to use a gun.
00:38:50.000 Never point the gun in a direction where you're not prepared to fire the gun because it will destroy whatever you point at.
00:38:57.000 This is literally the first thing that you are taught.
00:38:58.000 Not number two, number one.
00:39:00.000 Never point the gun in a direction where you're not willing to have it fired.
00:39:04.000 And the second thing you're taught is don't have your finger on the trigger control, right?
00:39:07.000 These are the things that you are taught at the very beginning of learning how to use a gun.
00:39:11.000 Everyone understands the destructive power of a gun.
00:39:13.000 That's why they buy it.
00:39:15.000 But the entire point that's being made by the corporations is, well, what if we just ban this?
00:39:20.000 So CNN is already tweeting out, in the aftermath of the latest mass shooting at a school in Nashville, most companies declined to speak out.
00:39:26.000 Much of corporate America has grown silent on guns.
00:39:28.000 Ah, their silence is deafening.
00:39:30.000 Their silence is deafening.
00:39:31.000 Ah, so the people to blame now.
00:39:32.000 So we now have a new list of people to blame. 0.62
00:39:33.000 So the people to blame for a trans shooter murdering Christian kids are, in order, the parents of the trans shooter for not being accepting enough of trans identity.
00:39:43.000 Christians generally for not being accepting enough of trans identity, Republicans for not being in favor of gun control, and corporations for not sounding off on gun control.
00:39:52.000 You know who I noticed is missing that list? 0.97
00:39:53.000 The trans shooter.
00:39:54.000 That's the person who I noticed is missing from your list.
00:39:57.000 You seem damned eager to make sure that that person is never blamed because that might tie into broader ideological concerns that you would like to avoid.
00:40:06.000 And this, of course, was the approach.
00:40:09.000 The only reason to watch The View is because it is the dumbed-down version of every pseudo-sophisticated argument that is made on the left.
00:40:15.000 So Whoopi Goldberg yesterday, the repository of all morality on the left, she says, I'm tired of your 75 guns.
00:40:20.000 Okay, so I have a question.
00:40:21.000 Did any of my guns do anything?
00:40:23.000 They didn't.
00:40:24.000 They're still in my safe.
00:40:24.000 I noticed.
00:40:26.000 Did any of your guns do anything yesterday?
00:40:28.000 Probably not.
00:40:29.000 But apparently it's your 75 guns that Whoopi is deeply worried about.
00:40:32.000 You know, guarded by armed guards over at the local affiliate studios.
00:40:37.000 He said, OK, if we can't move an assault weapons ban, I would be willing to say, why don't we put in place trainings, background checks, mental health screenings to be able to have one? 0.60
00:40:46.000 Why are we compromising?
00:40:48.000 You know what I'm tired of?
00:40:50.000 I don't mean to be rude to cut you off.
00:40:52.000 I'm tired of trying to find a way to justify you being able to keep 75 guns in your house.
00:41:00.000 I am tired of trying to figure out a way to say, listen, We have rules and regulations.
00:41:08.000 The Constitution is very clear.
00:41:11.000 Scalia changed the meaning of what the Constitution says.
00:41:15.000 Oh yeah, constitutional scholar Whoopi Goldberg is on the move here.
00:41:19.000 Taking on Antonin Scalia.
00:41:21.000 I just have a question for Whoopi Goldberg.
00:41:24.000 What does Article 1 do?
00:41:25.000 How about 2 or 3?
00:41:27.000 What does Article 4 do, Whoopi?
00:41:29.000 Her knowledge of the Constitution is about as deep as her understanding of Holocaust history. 0.63
00:41:33.000 Meanwhile, Joy Behar, on the same show, she says that really what's happening here is that the gun lobby wants kids to die.
00:41:38.000 The avoidance here is astonishing.
00:41:43.000 It's astonishing. 0.73
00:41:44.000 Again, if the situation were reversed, if this had been a straight white man shooting up quote-unquote trans kids at a progressive school in Santa Monica, we all know what the subject would be.
00:41:54.000 But for the left, it's gun control and the cruelties of American society to trans people. 0.93
00:41:57.000 It's maddening. 0.58
00:41:59.000 The next mass shooter is planning their shooting.
00:42:03.000 What will this chamber do about it?
00:42:06.000 Nothing.
00:42:06.000 They'll do nothing.
00:42:08.000 They do nothing.
00:42:09.000 It's all about the money.
00:42:10.000 You know, Marsha Blackburn is a senator from Tennessee. 1.00
00:42:14.000 She, of course, sent out her thoughts and prayers.
00:42:17.000 She is 13th on a list of senators who received the most money from the NRA.
00:42:22.000 She received over 1.3 million in donations while representing a state with 1,273 gun deaths a year.
00:42:32.000 Okay, follow the money.
00:42:34.000 This is what this is all about, the gun lobby, all these people who are selling guns.
00:42:38.000 They make a lot of money off of children's deaths apparently in this country.
00:42:43.000 God, these people are so tiresome. 1.00
00:42:45.000 The stupidity of people like Joy Behar. 1.00
00:42:49.000 That somebody disagrees with you so it's about the money. 1.00
00:42:51.000 Fine, I can play this game too.
00:42:53.000 Maybe the reason that Joy Behar believes what she believes is because it's about the money. 0.95
00:42:56.000 She doesn't get paid to be on The View and have rational views. 1.00
00:42:58.000 She gets paid to be on The View and be a moron. 1.00
00:43:01.000 So it's about the money. 1.00
00:43:02.000 I'm going to assume that she doesn't actually believe any of the things she says.
00:43:04.000 It's because her advertisers want her to keep saying that stuff. 0.98
00:43:07.000 If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
00:43:09.000 Or maybe Marsha Blackburn believes, like a huge majority of Americans, that there are gun rights under the Second Amendment, and that my ownership of a gun is not responsible for a trans person shooting up a bunch of Christian school kids. 0.99
00:43:21.000 God, it's so disgusting. 0.98
00:43:23.000 I mean, the media are just vile. 0.96
00:43:23.000 It truly is. 0.96
00:43:27.000 When school kids get shot in Parkland, then we have a vast display from CNN where we drag Marco Rubio before the 15 Minutes hate crowd and we shout at him in front of a crowd about how he hasn't done enough on gun control.
00:43:40.000 When a trans person shoots Christian kids, we're like, oh, well, you know, we're not going to talk about the Christian school being victimized.
00:43:44.000 We don't know the motive. 0.95
00:43:45.000 We're not going to talk about the ideology of the trans shooter.
00:43:47.000 That's off limits.
00:43:49.000 Let's talk about the guns some more.
00:43:50.000 Maybe we can drag Marco Rubio out here.
00:43:51.000 Maybe it's Marco Rubio's fault.
00:43:52.000 Maybe it's Marsha Blackburn's fault.
00:43:55.000 Or maybe you guys don't actually want to solve any problems.
00:43:57.000 Maybe what you are all about is the preservation of that core ideology.
00:44:01.000 Victims, victimizers.
00:44:03.000 And people cannot shift classes.
00:44:04.000 You cannot be a member of the victimized class and also be a victimizer.
00:44:08.000 It's just preservation of the narrative at all costs.
00:44:10.000 That's all that matters is preservation of the narrative if you're on the left.
00:44:13.000 And damned if people's lives get in the way. 0.62
00:44:16.000 Who cares? 0.96
00:44:16.000 Who cares? 0.96
00:44:17.000 Meanwhile, over in France, apparently democracy is not under threat in France.
00:44:21.000 It is amazing how the media have decided where democracy is under threat and where democracy is not under threat.
00:44:26.000 So right now in France, there's an actual attempt at seizure of power that does not belong to the executive branch by Emmanuel Macron.
00:44:31.000 He's attempting to ram through an unpopular retirement reform under which he's going to raise France's legal retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote.
00:44:40.000 He's going to ram it through Parliament without a vote.
00:44:42.000 And hundreds of thousands of people are protesting.
00:44:45.000 Apparently, according to the Interior Ministry of France, there have been 740,000 protesters.
00:44:51.000 That is down from more than a million five days ago, but there's hundreds of thousands of people in the street over there.
00:44:55.000 It's not a threat to democracy.
00:44:56.000 It's only a threat to democracy when it's a right-wing government and it's being protested by left-wingers.
00:45:01.000 Then the right-wing government is a threat to democracy.
00:45:02.000 Even what they're pushing for is more democracy, right?
00:45:04.000 Over in Israel, if there are people blocking freeways and shutting down airports illegally, if they're doing all of that in the name of preserving judicial authoritarianism, They're just trying to stop the threat to democracy.
00:45:14.000 If in France there are massive protests against Emmanuel Macron, who's not a person of the right, Macron is not threatening democracy, obviously.
00:45:20.000 He's just doing the right thing.
00:45:22.000 The political bias of the media is truly an astonishing, astonishing thing.
00:45:25.000 But one of the things that's happening here is basically France is recognizing the reality of its own fiscal insanity.
00:45:33.000 And when I say France, I mean Macron.
00:45:35.000 Macron is right on the issue.
00:45:37.000 There's no question that France has to raise its retirement age.
00:45:38.000 By the way, there's no question the United States needs to raise its retirement age.
00:45:41.000 All of these social security programs are bankrupt.
00:45:43.000 They're all pyramid schemes reliant on generations yet to be born and who will not be born given the reproductive rates in the West.
00:45:50.000 It's a simple fact of the matter.
00:45:52.000 Right now, if you look at the unfunded pension liabilities in France, it's like 200% of GDP.
00:45:56.000 If you look at the unfunded pension liabilities in the United States, it's just as much.
00:46:00.000 I mean, it's actually way higher in the United States.
00:46:02.000 There are certain estimates that suggest that the Unfunded pension liabilities in the United States amount to, like, 700% of GDP.
00:46:11.000 It's totally insane.
00:46:12.000 We're going to have to reshift all the social security and welfare structures because, again, they were pay-it-forward structures that were not input-defined.
00:46:20.000 They were benefits-defined.
00:46:21.000 They were defined benefits plan, not defined contribution plans.
00:46:24.000 And so now we're going to be forced to take austerity measures.
00:46:27.000 But the problem is that when you make people promises, then they want those promises to be kept, even if it's not possible.
00:46:33.000 So you have a new day of action in France.
00:46:35.000 The day of action is the 10th since protests began in mid-January against the law, which includes raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, according to France 24.
00:46:45.000 The Interior Minister said 13,000 members of the security forces would be deployed on Tuesday, 5,500 in Paris alone.
00:46:51.000 So people are taking to the barricades because they're really, really pissed that their lives are going to get slightly harder and that they will have to work into, you know, late middle age.
00:46:59.000 They might have to work until they are 64.
00:47:01.000 Now the French way of life, which is essentially 35 hour work week and retire when you're 62 so that you can paint On the send. 0.74
00:47:12.000 That's under threat if you'd have to work for a couple extra years.
00:47:14.000 The West has yet to come to grips with the fact that it signed a bunch of really bad contracts in order to gain votes.
00:47:21.000 And so a lot of people have now got it in their heads that these are entitlements owed to them.
00:47:26.000 Welfare was never an entitlement.
00:47:27.000 It was a privilege, not an entitlement.
00:47:30.000 But the simple fact that there's so many people who have taken it now as an entitlement means that anytime you attempt to revise that bargain, People are going to lose their minds.
00:47:38.000 The same thing is going to happen here in the United States as well.
00:47:40.000 If you think that it's not going to happen, you're totally wrong.
00:47:43.000 It's why both parties right now are kicking the can down the road on entitlement reform, which everyone acknowledges.
00:47:47.000 Everyone, right, left, and center.
00:47:48.000 Everyone knows the entitlements are bankrupt in the United States.
00:47:50.000 They just refuse to say it out loud because they're afraid of the political blowback.
00:47:53.000 It's the third rail of politics.
00:47:54.000 When even Emmanuel Macron is now generating fires in the streets, you can see that the West is about to run headlong into reality.
00:48:02.000 Reality never loses.
00:48:03.000 Meanwhile, I have to say, it is quite amazing how the media cover immigration.
00:48:09.000 So, if Donald Trump were president right now?
00:48:12.000 Then he would be the one being blamed for the death of 38 people in a blaze at a Mexican detention facility.
00:48:17.000 According to the New York Times, Catiusca Marquez said she was begging for money on the streets of Ciudad Juarez on Monday afternoon when Mexican migration officers took her and her family to a migration detention facility just across the border from El Paso.
00:48:29.000 Hours later, the 23-year-old Venezuelan was released along with her two young kids and husband.
00:48:32.000 She said the authorities wouldn't release her older brother, Orlando Maldonado.
00:48:36.000 One of the last things her brother told her, she said, was, don't let me die.
00:48:38.000 That night, a fire broke out inside the facility.
00:48:41.000 Killing at least 38 people, injuring 28 others.
00:48:44.000 68 men from Central and South America were being detained at the facility, according to the Mexican government.
00:48:49.000 The site of the fire is, like, we're talking, like, right next to the US-Mexico border.
00:48:53.000 This is a detention facility that is directly across the border from El Paso.
00:48:58.000 One of the reasons that this detention facility exists is because this massive crush of migrants at the border and then the held-in-Mexico policy has created an extraordinary surge of people being held in really cramped and crowded conditions across the border.
00:49:10.000 If Donald Trump were the president right now, the media would be blaming his evil and vile immigration policy for the deaths in Chutar Juarez.
00:49:17.000 They're not doing that right now.
00:49:18.000 Instead, they're suggesting that it's just kind of Mexico's fault, really.
00:49:22.000 Now, there are certain people who are calling out the Biden administration.
00:49:26.000 Rachel Schmidke, a senior advocate for Latin America at Refugees International, says alongside the Mexican government, the U.S.
00:49:32.000 has direct responsibility for what happens to migrants in Mexico because they force people to stay in Mexico. 0.99
00:49:36.000 But the real answer here is that it is the fault of a government in the United States that incentivizes illegal immigration.
00:49:44.000 The border surge that has happened under Joe Biden is unprecedented in American history.
00:49:48.000 It's extraordinary and unprecedented, and it's leading to overcrowded conditions at the border.
00:49:51.000 Meanwhile, the Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, he has no answers as to exactly how to handle the border.
00:49:58.000 Here he was yesterday testifying in front of Congress.
00:50:00.000 He would not say that there was a crisis at the border.
00:50:02.000 People are getting burned to death just across the border.
00:50:04.000 And Mayorkas is like, well, I'm not going to say there's a crisis.
00:50:06.000 He was asked, I believe, five separate times by Ted Cruz.
00:50:10.000 Is there a crisis at our southern border?
00:50:12.000 Senator, there is a very significant... That's a yes or no question.
00:50:16.000 There's a very significant... Is there a crisis?
00:50:19.000 Senator, there's a very significant challenge... I think your microphone is not on.
00:50:23.000 There is a very significant challenge that we are facing.
00:50:26.000 Yes or no, is there a crisis?
00:50:28.000 I believe I've addressed that question.
00:50:29.000 So you're refusing to answer?
00:50:31.000 Senator, there is a very significant challenge.
00:50:34.000 Will you answer if there's a crisis?
00:50:36.000 Therefore, we are dedicating the resources.
00:50:38.000 Okay, so you're refusing to answer.
00:50:39.000 Well, you're and President Biden's Chief of the Border Patrol in a sworn deposition in July of 2022 when asked, Would you agree, Chief Ortiz, that the southern border is currently in crisis?
00:50:50.000 Answer, yes.
00:50:52.000 Notice, none of those wiggle words, none of that equivocation.
00:50:54.000 One word, one syllable, yes.
00:50:57.000 But apparently, according to Mayorkas, we don't actually have a crisis at the border.
00:51:01.000 Certainly not a crisis that has anything to do with Joe Biden.
00:51:04.000 Meanwhile, he can't even say if Mexico's a reliable partner on immigration.
00:51:07.000 Here he was yesterday.
00:51:10.000 You agree with Secretary Blinken that there are parts of Mexico run by drug cartels?
00:51:15.000 I do.
00:51:16.000 Do you consider Mexico a reliable partner in this fight regarding fentanyl and illegal immigration?
00:51:23.000 Ranking Member Graham, we are working with Mexico on the fight against fentanyl.
00:51:28.000 Are they a reliable partner?
00:51:29.000 We have brought great cases together and we are looking to enhance our cooperation.
00:51:36.000 Well, I mean, that's good.
00:51:37.000 Everything is under control, guys.
00:51:39.000 Everything is just fine.
00:51:40.000 Okay, time for some things I like and then some things that I hate.
00:51:43.000 So, things that I like today.
00:51:45.000 Apparently, a court has now reinstated Adnan Syed's murder conviction in that serial case.
00:51:49.000 You remember that there is a man named Adnan Syed.
00:51:52.000 He was convicted of murder of his former high school girlfriend way back when.
00:51:57.000 And then there was a podcast called Serial, became the most popular podcast in America, and it called into question whether Adnan Syed had actually committed the murder.
00:52:03.000 The suggestion was, of course, that it was some sort of systemic bigotry that led to the arrest and conviction of Adnan Syed.
00:52:09.000 Well, now the appellate court of Maryland has ruled that a trial court had violated the right of Young Lee, the brother of Hy Min Lee, the victim, to have been notified of and to attend the hearing in September where a judge vacated Syed's conviction.
00:52:19.000 Now, the reason that the judge vacated Syed's conviction was not because the evidence actually demonstrated that he was innocent, per se.
00:52:26.000 The reason that the judge vacated the conviction is because Marilyn Mosby, the district attorney in Baltimore, decided that she wanted to make some headlines, and so Adnan Syed should be released.
00:52:36.000 Well now, in a two-to-one decision, the appeals court ordered the trial court to hold a new hearing on the motion to vacate Syed's conviction that would give Lee enough notice to attend in person, unlike the previous hearing, which he joined via Zoom.
00:52:45.000 That doesn't mean that Syed has to immediately go back to prison.
00:52:50.000 Sanford applauded the appeals court for agreeing with Lee that the trial court had violated his right to be given adequate notice of the hearing in September and to be physically present at the hearing.
00:52:58.000 The decision, according to Doug Colbert, a law professor over at University of Maryland, said it was stunning and surprising.
00:53:05.000 Now, one of the things that happens to be true about this particular case is that there is very good evidence that Anand Sayan actually murdered the victim in this particular case.
00:53:14.000 I understand that we can build now crime podcasts in which podcasters pour over the old files and look at the defense case and they try to prove that the defense case was actually plausible.
00:53:23.000 But the reality is that you had an accomplice who testified at the trial that he helped Syed bury the victim's body in a public park.
00:53:30.000 There was cell phone evidence, like cell tower evidence, showing Syed's phone in the park on the night in question.
00:53:37.000 The witness said there's nothing that's going to change the fact this guy drove up in front of my grandmother's house, popped the trunk and had his dead girlfriend in the trunk.
00:53:43.000 Anything that's going to make him innocent doesn't involve me.
00:53:46.000 Like, there are a bunch of questions this serial tried to raise, suggesting that this particular witness doesn't remember the exact time when Syed first showed him the body, but nothing has actually fully undermined the case against Adnan Syed.
00:53:58.000 So it'll be interesting to see whether this is just kind of a procedural snafu, or whether they're going to look at the evidence again and maybe question whether Marilyn Mosby, a really headline-seeking DA, is just attempting to seek another headline.
00:54:11.000 Okay, time for some things that I hate.
00:54:17.000 So I gotta say, I'm so tired of celebrities apologizing for literally nothing.
00:54:22.000 So Guy Pearce, he's a really good actor, Guy Pearce, one of the great underrated actors of our generation.
00:54:28.000 And Guy Pearce put out a full-on apology letter today.
00:54:32.000 The apology was for a tweet in which he said, quote, if trans actors are the only ones allowed to play trans roles, are we also suggesting trans actors are therefore only allowed to play trans characters?
00:54:42.000 Okay, this seems like a perfectly logical question.
00:54:44.000 If the basic idea is that you are only allowed to play a character who shares your identity characteristics, then trans actors should only be allowed to play trans characters. 0.70
00:54:51.000 Obviously.
00:54:52.000 You shouldn't have a trans woman playing a biological woman, because they're not exactly the same thing. 1.00
00:54:57.000 But this generated an online blowback.
00:54:59.000 You're not allowed to say that.
00:55:00.000 No, the rule is that a black person is allowed to play a historically white person, but a white person is not allowed to play a historically black person.
00:55:07.000 The rule is that a trans person can play a biological woman, but a biological woman like Scarlett Johansson definitely cannot play a trans woman. 0.69
00:55:13.000 Like, these are things that we can't have happening.
00:55:16.000 Again, if you're a member of a victimized group, you can do whatever the hell you want.
00:55:19.000 If you're a member of the victimizers group, or at least you are higher on the intersectional hierarchy of power, if you're higher on that, then you certainly cannot take advantage of that position.
00:55:30.000 So Guy Pearce questioned that.
00:55:31.000 Now he's in real trouble.
00:55:32.000 So he put out a letter. 1.00
00:55:33.000 This sort of stuff is just pathetic malice struggle session garbage. 1.00
00:55:37.000 It's really stupid. 1.00
00:55:38.000 Here is what the letter said. 1.00
00:55:39.000 This is a very, very simple subject.
00:55:39.000 No it isn't!
00:55:40.000 I see that raising the question of gender identity within the casting process on a platform like Twitter was not a good idea.
00:55:45.000 For that, I apologize enormously.
00:55:47.000 I acknowledge it has only stirred up and inflamed attitudes and made us all dig our heels in.
00:55:51.000 I take responsibility for that and again, apologize for starting a fire.
00:55:54.000 This is a subject that needs to be discussed face to face, person to person over a good amount of time and where we are all heard and understood.
00:55:59.000 No it isn't! This is a very, very simple subject.
00:56:01.000 People should be able to play whoever the hell they want.
00:56:03.000 That's it. If you're the best person for the part, you should win the part.
00:56:05.000 I mean, does it require a face-to-face conversation to say, you, a man, should not play a woman because you're a man?
00:56:11.000 I mean, and again, if all you're saying is there's a set of rules, and the set of rules is members of identity groups can only play members of those identity groups, then that means that members of every identity group can only play members of that identity group.
00:56:24.000 Period, right?
00:56:25.000 The rule applies to everyone.
00:56:26.000 This doesn't require a long conversation.
00:56:28.000 What he's really apologizing for is having spoken.
00:56:32.000 And here's the thing.
00:56:33.000 His cowardice is going to have no impact on Guy Pearce, but it has impact on every other actor in Hollywood who now is not as powerful as Guy Pearce and can't say the thing.
00:56:41.000 When powerful people apologize before the mob, it's not just that they're doing something wrong.
00:56:44.000 They are.
00:56:45.000 They're doing something morally wrong.
00:56:46.000 But they're also disincentivizing people who are not powerful from ever saying anything again.
00:56:50.000 Because are you as powerful as Guy Pearce in American society?
00:56:52.000 The answer is no.
00:56:53.000 When people speak up loudly and clearly on subjects of public question, it's a good thing.
00:56:59.000 When they don't apologize for speaking loudly and clearly.
00:57:01.000 That's a good thing.
00:57:02.000 Because it allows other people who don't have as much of a voice to also speak up loudly and clearly.
00:57:07.000 Here's what Guy Pearce says.
00:57:08.000 He says, I want to take this opportunity to say it is very clear to me that in many areas of life discrimination, which should have no place in a modern society, unfortunately still thrives.
00:57:16.000 Indeed, members of my own family have been subjected to different but every bit as pernicious prejudice.
00:57:20.000 I understand how my question, asking if trans actors are the only ones allowed to play trans roles, then are we also suggesting trans actors are therefore only allowed to play trans characters, is insensitive.
00:57:28.000 Why is it insensitive?
00:57:30.000 The point I wanted to raise was one about defending the definition of acting and nothing more.
00:57:34.000 Throwing the subject onto one minority group in particular was unnecessary, especially from a man like me, with a full house of privilege.
00:57:41.000 I'm in no position to complain about fairness, at least not on my own behalf.
00:57:44.000 Well, yes, actually you are.
00:57:46.000 Fairness, the principles of justice, apply equally to everyone if the principles of justice fall like the rain.
00:57:51.000 It is not that justice applies to one group and not to another group.
00:57:54.000 That's not justice.
00:57:55.000 That inherently violates the definition of justice.
00:57:58.000 When you say something like, I'm not allowed to, I have a full house of privilege, so I can't speak to, a generalized principle, what you're really saying is the only people who get to speak on matters of public concern are members of the victimized groups. 0.98
00:58:10.000 And that's just crap. 1.00
00:58:11.000 It's just stupid. 1.00
00:58:14.000 So, bad on Guy Pearce for having apologized for what is a perfectly legitimate and indeed logical point of view. 0.98
00:58:21.000 Quote, again, sincere apologies for crassly focusing on just one already harassed minority in my original tweet.
00:58:27.000 It's so tiresome.
00:58:28.000 It's so damned tiresome.
00:58:30.000 Alrighty, we've reached the end of today's show. 0.56
00:58:32.000 We'll be back here with much, much more tomorrow.
00:58:34.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.
