A father and son from Pakistan opened fire at a Hanukah celebration in Sydney, Australia, on Friday night, killing 16 people, including a child. Who did it? Who were they? And why did they do it?
00:05:03.160There might have been some advance warning.
00:05:04.820There are reports that there was advance warning from Israeli intelligence.
00:05:07.180There are reports that there was advance warning from actually one of the rabbis who was killed asking the prime minister to pay attention to the Muslim problem.
00:05:14.960The PM says he is going to do everything he can to stop it.
00:05:21.200And I want to conclude finally by saying that the government is prepared to take whatever action is necessary.
00:05:31.080Included in that is the need for tougher gun laws.
00:05:34.580And this afternoon at four o'clock I will put on the agenda of the National Cabinet tougher gun laws, including limits on the number of guns that can be used or licensed by individuals.
00:05:56.920A review of licenses over a period of time, people's circumstances change, people can be radicalized over a period of time.
00:06:06.660Licenses should not be in perpetuity and checks, of course, making sure that those checks and balances are in place as well.
00:06:51.200We need to take away licenses from people who have already passed the gun control checks to have guns because they can be radicalized over time.
00:11:09.360Because it turns out that people are not just undifferentiated cogs in a machine.
00:11:13.300You can't, as the liberal politicians throughout the West have said now for decades, they say, we're going to deal with the problem of declining birth rates among the native populations of our countries.
00:11:24.980And we are going to fix the economic problem of unsustainable entitlement programs by importing other kinds of peoples with other cultures, with other religions, with other behaviors.
00:11:35.820And then it's all going to be hunky-dory.
00:12:25.260Because if I go visit Budapest, if I go visit anywhere in Hungary, I could walk down the street in my birthday suit with three Rolexes on each arm, singing out loud at three o'clock in the morning.
00:13:06.620If I don't have faith in the orderliness of society, if I don't have faith that I can go out without being attacked or murdered or molested, then I can't really be free.
00:13:18.360And I certainly won't have the political freedom necessary to carry on my centuries-long traditions.
00:14:56.000Balance of Nature's whole health system supplements are incredibly versatile and easy to work into your daily routine.
00:15:01.000The fiber and spice supplement blends smoothly into your favorite drinks, adding a warm, aromatic depth from its spice blend.
00:15:07.100And if you prefer, you can even open up the fruits and veggies capsules and mix the powder directly into a smoothie or sprinkle it over your meals.
00:15:13.280What makes these supplements special is that they're packed with 47 ingredients from 100% real whole fruits, vegetables, spices, and fibers.
00:15:20.180Everything from psyllium husk to flaxseed to cinnamon, turmeric, mango, pineapple, wild blueberries, shiitake mushrooms, spinach, kale, cayenne pepper, and so much more.
00:15:55.880But two, because we don't know almost anything about it.
00:16:01.720We were told first that there was a guy who had been taken into custody and some guy's face was plastered, like a white guy with blonde hair, plastered all over the news.
00:16:10.240And then it turned out that wasn't the guy.
00:18:06.820Some of the reporting says that it is.
00:18:08.460But obviously the details are very, very unclear.
00:18:11.020They don't even know who the guy is yet.
00:18:12.620This is three months almost to the day after Charlie Kirk, the most prominent campus conservative speaker in the country, was murdered on campus by a radical leftist.
00:18:26.860I don't want to jump to conclusions here.
00:18:28.560However, based on the evidence that we have, the only evidence that we have, if there were an ideological motive, it would be from the left.
00:18:40.420I'm not saying there is an ideological motive.
00:18:43.760If there were, the only thing we know for certain about this shooting is that it would have come from the left.
00:19:21.600And this was in the tradition of Edmund Burke, who is in many ways the founder of modern conservatism, writing during the French and American revolutions.
00:19:51.720Because we're not perfectly rational creatures and we just don't have time to write essays on everything and conduct studies before we have our breakfast.
00:20:00.060And it's just the case that everyone knows that when there's a major terror attack somewhere around the world in a Western nation, a Muslim did it.
00:20:08.760And it's just the case that when there's an ideological attack in America, the left did it.
00:20:16.520And by the way, this is backed up by social scientific data because we know after Charlie's killing, there were multiple surveys about political violence.
00:20:26.120And the left consistently and dramatically was much more likely to justify political violence than the right.
00:20:32.840Chris Murphy, Democrat senator from Connecticut, comes out, goes on CNN immediately without knowing anything about this case.
00:20:41.680And apparently, without knowing anything about similar cases, comes out and says that the shooting at Brown, in which we know the first confirmed victim was the vice president of the Republican Club.
00:20:53.860It's not shocking because over the last year, President Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country.
00:21:03.060He is restoring gun rights to felons and people who have lost their ability to buy guns.
00:21:08.100He eliminated the White House Office of Gun Violence Protection, and he has stopped funding mental health grants and community anti-gun violence grants that Republicans and Democrats supported in that 2022 bill.
00:21:23.200So he has been engaged in a pretty deliberate campaign to try to make violence more likely in this country.
00:21:29.360And I think you're unfortunately going to see the results of that on the streets of America.
00:23:09.180How do you argue with a guy like that?
00:23:12.000A man who is impervious to facts and who knows one thing, that he will oppose Trump and the majority of Americans who voted for him at all costs.
00:23:24.660Blame everything on him without any evidence whatsoever.
00:26:41.740But even worse is when powerful, influential people on either side of the aisle stoke the flames.
00:26:46.260When they do it, the flames can become an inferno.
00:26:49.480And this leads me to Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on earth, who has more responsibility than anyone else to put the flames out.
00:26:58.280Just last month, President Trump called on six Democratic lawmakers to be tried for sedition, which he clarified was punishable by death.
00:27:06.380But any good faith effort to stop political violence must hold both parties to the same standard and expectation.
00:27:12.900So in that spirit, will you condemn the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on earth?
00:27:44.800But will you disavow one of your husband's close friends, who one of my ideological comrades also nearly murdered over the summer?
00:27:52.940Hey, can you disavow your husband's really good friend, one of the men he looked up to, one of the men that he ultimately, I suppose, gave his life helping to get elected?
00:28:02.660Can you just talk about how evil he is for no reason in the face of all evidence?
00:29:27.620I think the people with the responsibility to bring the temperature down are the ones who are committing and defending all the violence, which is the left.
00:30:05.180We need to operate within a normal political order.
00:30:07.440That is actually the opposite of what the left is doing.
00:30:10.420That's the opposite of calling for political vigilante violence, which maybe this kid just doesn't understand.
00:30:16.300Maybe he's just not the brightest bulb in the box.
00:30:19.480Or maybe he does understand it, and he's cynically conflating to not only different but opposite things.
00:30:25.640In any case, to try to score some very cheap, cynical, disgusting political point and extend your 15 minutes of fame to 16 minutes by haranguing and prodding the widow of Charlie Kirk and the mother of Charlie Kirk's kids who are going to grow up without a father, revolting.
00:30:46.920Everyone involved in that should be ashamed of themselves.
00:30:49.080Now, speaking of how the right reacts to political violence, a good example.
00:31:24.800His dad was Carl Reiner, very, very famous Hollywood figure, Hollywood comedian.
00:31:28.740Anyway, Rob and his wife, 78 and 68 years old respectively, were found dead, stabbed to death.
00:31:36.960I guess their throats were slit in their home.
00:31:40.000And the story gets even worse because it turns out that the guy who did it, according to People Magazine, was allegedly their own son.
00:31:48.680Their son, who suffered from, well, suffered from and participated in and caused many of his own problems, but a lot of drug addiction, a lot of irresponsible behavior.
00:32:02.100So, one difference here is when Charlie Kirk was murdered, much of the left, at every level, from elected office down to that girl you went to high school with, much of the left celebrated it.
00:32:15.100Some of your co-workers celebrated it.
00:34:45.940This video is now going around, which is Rob Reiner talking about a movie that he did with his son, his son who reportedly, allegedly murdered Rob Reiner and his wife, the boy's mother.
00:34:58.020This movie, B and Charlie about drug addiction.
00:34:59.940And you just see this guy's love for his son pouring out in the interview.
00:35:33.960But it's interesting that Nick would talk about it in that way because, yeah, we did share that experience.
00:35:42.300But, you know, even though I've had a lot of experience making movies, you know, and I said this to him many, many times, that he was the heart and soul of the film.
00:35:51.720So, when it came to making the film deeper and better, I would have to really defer to him.
00:36:01.520I mean, even though I have had all this experience in making films, the core of this film, I really had to look to him.
00:36:10.700It just breaks your heart because you see this.
00:36:14.820If you've been a dad, if you've ever been a son, you can see this father really longing to build up his kid.
00:36:22.960This kid who, by all accounts, was just a complete degenerate, a ne'er-do-well, who just was in rehab zillions of times, even as a teenager.
00:36:32.960And then later on, and, you know, he's sitting there.
00:36:35.960I've known a lot of kids of rich guys and a lot of kids of famous guys.
00:36:41.500And, you know, sometimes they turn out all right, but sometimes they don't.
00:36:45.000And sometimes there's all this baggage that goes with it.
00:36:47.900And sometimes they're just bad kids, you know.
00:36:50.180And you see this, you see Rob Reiner here, who's a great filmmaker.
00:36:53.660And he's saying, no, but really, it was my son who was the secret to this movie.
00:37:29.080There are plenty of tabloid shows, podcasts, TV shows that exist just to gossip and talk about all sorts of prurient, scintillating things.
00:37:38.080So what lesson can we take away for our lives?
00:37:41.000A very important lesson that a lot of people don't want to believe, especially in our modern liberal culture, is that sometimes you just get a bad kid.
00:38:42.620And this actually ties in with the other stories we've been talking about.
00:38:47.180Sometimes people are just born with a lot of problems.
00:38:53.400And sometimes you have to protect yourself and society from those problems.
00:38:56.620Sometimes cultures develop with lots of problems, lots of bad proclivities that are not going to just go away with the magic wand of liberalism.
00:39:06.060They're not going to just go away with the magical tin can.
00:39:10.540You know, you have people in Somalia, and they're basically all pirates, and they don't build anything, and the whole country is just run on fraud.
00:39:20.300And then you put them in this magical tin can, and you fly them from Somalia to America, and then magically they become great American citizens, as American as apple pie, ready to go invent the next Model T.
00:39:35.220And we have to recognize those differences.
00:39:37.680We have to recognize that sometimes we have to protect innocent people from people who, through personal weakness or through bad decisions or through vice or through bad luck, just are a threat to them.
00:39:52.260However, it's one of the real lies of modern liberalism, which is ultimately Pelagian.
00:40:00.340You know, it says that we're all capable of saving ourselves.
00:40:03.020And we just, on the right, you hear this with the pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of rhetoric.
00:40:06.820On the left, you hear this through the self-actualization rhetoric, the idea that we can be whatever we want, even the opposite sex.
00:40:12.040But what all of that denies is that we're born with certain things, certain problems, one big problem in particular, which is original sin.
00:40:20.120And the denial of that has led to, I think, the corrosion of so much, our understanding of national sovereignty, our role vis-a-vis other nations, the total corruption of our justice system, the failures of our policing.
00:41:00.980Once we get through the most, one of the most morally repugnant things you've ever heard in your whole life, then we will get to one happy story.
