0:00
Speaker 1: Nashville Christian School shooter appears to be a former student.
0:05
Speaker 1: The police chief has said the shooter has been identified
0:09
Speaker 1: as Audrey Hale, twenty eight, of Nashville. According to the
0:13
Speaker 1: chief of police, who said she identifies as transgender, this shooter,
0:21
Speaker 1: Audrey Hale, was a biological female that identifies as he
0:25
Speaker 1: him on the LinkedIn page. Authorities believe that this transitnor
0:30
Speaker 1: shooter previously attended the school. The Instagram account she had
0:35
Speaker 1: has been deleted. Creative Aiden, illustrator and graphic designer what
0:41
Speaker 1: we know is NBC News has also confirmed the shooter
0:45
Speaker 1: as Audrey Hale. This needs to be a discussion about
0:50
Speaker 1: why are we advocating and supporting people who clearly are
0:55
Speaker 1: dealing with a mental illness, encouraging that mental illness by
0:58
Speaker 1: saying good for you, Timmy. Even though it's susy, it's
1:02
Speaker 1: a mental health issue. We should be treating it as
1:04
Speaker 1: a mental health issue. And this shooter, identifying as identified
1:09
Speaker 1: as Audrey Hale, a twenty eight of Nashville, was a
1:13
Speaker 1: woman who thought she was a man. That is tragic
1:16
Speaker 1: in its own scenario. What's even more gut riching is
1:20
Speaker 1: the fact that in America today we will encourage this
1:23
Speaker 1: mental health issue and act like it is not an issue.
1:28
Speaker 1: The Nashville Police Chief saying this earlier. Yes, we have
1:33
Speaker 1: identified the suspect. That's a twenty eight year old female
1:37
Speaker 1: white actually a Nashvillian or lives in the Nashville area.
1:43
Speaker 1: We are have an ongoing investigation as it pertains to
1:46
Speaker 1: her at this Sila where she lives. At your loss
1:50
Speaker 1: is there we have what she went body armor can
1:56
Speaker 1: say that far into the investigation. I don't remember saying it,
2:01
Speaker 1: but I can't say for certain if he had body
2:03
Speaker 1: onmar On or not. Did have any connection of the church.
2:07
Speaker 1: From my initial findings is that at one point she
2:11
Speaker 1: was a student at that school, but unsure what year
2:16
Speaker 1: all of that, but that's what I've been told so far.
2:21
Speaker 1: Social media or a hear at the difference for media
2:23
Speaker 1: get examined at this point. The investigations are still going
2:26
Speaker 1: going at this point, our federal partners, our state partners,
2:29
Speaker 1: we're all looking into that to see exactly this is
2:33
Speaker 1: still fluid at the time, but we're looking at everything.
2:39
Speaker 1: There has to be a real conversation about this. There
2:42
Speaker 1: has to be a conversation about the fact that in
2:46
Speaker 1: America today, we are advocating supporting are the establishment the
2:50
Speaker 1: media of biological females to identify as men. There needs
2:56
Speaker 1: to be a conversation about what makes an individual clearly
2:59
Speaker 1: with mental health issues. Heavily armed woman who says she's
3:03
Speaker 1: a man gunned down three children in a case through
3:07
Speaker 1: sixth school also murders three staff members at this Nashville
3:11
Speaker 1: school on Monday. Former student of the private Christian school
3:15
Speaker 1: at one point, she was a student at the school,
3:17
Speaker 1: The Metrolodon police chiefs told reporters after the shooting at
3:20
Speaker 1: the Covenant School in Nashville. The shooter was identified again
3:24
Speaker 1: as Audrey Hale, twenty eight, of Nashville, according to the chief,
3:27
Speaker 1: who said she identifies as transgender. There's no answers on
3:32
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon, as multiple phone numbers NBC News reports listed
3:36
Speaker 1: for Hale's mother and brother went unanswered. According to police,
3:39
Speaker 1: Hall was armed with two assault style rifles and a
3:41
Speaker 1: handgun when she was confronted by five officers. Two of
3:45
Speaker 1: those opened fire and killed her. A car near the
3:48
Speaker 1: shooting scene. How police determine who the shooter was, There
3:52
Speaker 1: was a vehicle that was nearby. They gave us clues
3:53
Speaker 1: as to who she was. The police chief said investigators
3:56
Speaker 1: are combing through her home now. Police tactical and it's
4:00
Speaker 1: her spotty using a grenade like device to get inside
4:02
Speaker 1: the house, which is listed at Hale's residence. This is
4:05
Speaker 1: a great family and it's a tragedy, a neighbor said.
4:08
Speaker 1: Investigators also looking to how the shooter got into the school.
4:13
Speaker 1: Doors are usually locked on the campus. Officials said how
4:15
Speaker 1: exactly she got in at this point is still under investigation.
4:19
Speaker 1: The chief praise the officers were taking on the shooter immediately,
4:22
Speaker 1: say it could have been far, far worse. This is
4:25
Speaker 1: not normal. It is not normal. I want to make
4:29
Speaker 1: this very clear. It is not normal for us to
4:34
Speaker 1: do what we've been told that we must do, which
4:36
Speaker 1: is except anybody who believes in anything or anything that
4:39
Speaker 1: deals with sexuality. That's not normal. It's not normal to
4:44
Speaker 1: try to radicalize kids by teaching them about cross dressing,
4:49
Speaker 1: to teach them about gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and all
4:53
Speaker 1: these other sexual things at such young ages. It is
4:57
Speaker 1: not normal to take your child to a sexually explicit show,
5:03
Speaker 1: a drag show. This is not normal, and there is
5:08
Speaker 1: evil in this country who want to exploit young people.
5:14
Speaker 1: There is evil in this country that want you to
5:18
Speaker 1: believe that this is somehow normal, and clearly it is
5:21
Speaker 1: not normal. It is a mental health issue. I genuinely,
5:25
Speaker 1: I've said this before. I have massive compassion for anyone
5:29
Speaker 1: that deals with mental health issues. I think we need
5:32
Speaker 1: to get rid of the stigma around mental health issues.
5:34
Speaker 1: I think we need to do everything that we can
5:36
Speaker 1: to make it clear that mental health issues need to
5:42
Speaker 1: be dealt with across the board in a very very
5:45
Speaker 1: careful way. But we don't need to normalize mental health
5:49
Speaker 1: issues either. I have compassion for an individual that believes
5:53
Speaker 1: that they are trapped in the opposite sex. I can't
5:56
Speaker 1: imagine living thinking that you are actually the opposite sex.
6:01
Speaker 1: That is horrific. But the reality is we don't normalize
6:05
Speaker 1: it because when we do, there's still a mental health
6:08
Speaker 1: issue there. And I think that's clear today, there's still
6:11
Speaker 1: a mental health issue there. You have someone that was
6:13
Speaker 1: mentally unstable. They decided that the best thing they could
6:16
Speaker 1: do was go and kill innocent children. Today we see
6:20
Speaker 1: over and over again in these school shootings it's a
6:22
Speaker 1: mental health issue. It's different ones. By the way, almost
6:26
Speaker 1: every time it goes back to mental health issues. But
6:29
Speaker 1: you don't normalize and don't try to normalize mental health
6:35
Speaker 1: issues instead of getting the people the help that they need.
6:38
Speaker 1: And what we've decided to do in this country is say, oh,
6:41
Speaker 1: it's not a problem. We should advocate in advance and support.
6:45
Speaker 1: If a woman wants to claim they're a man, we
6:48
Speaker 1: should treat them as such. I will never do that
6:51
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I mean, in fact, I think it shows
6:54
Speaker 1: some compassion because I'm saying, clearly you need some help.
6:57
Speaker 1: I hate that for you. You need help. I'm not
7:00
Speaker 1: judging you. I'm not angry with you. I don't dislike you.
7:03
Speaker 1: But this is a mental health issue. And we see
7:07
Speaker 1: many different categories of mental health issues at these school shootings.
7:11
Speaker 1: And what we see is it's not just a normal
7:13
Speaker 1: person that does these things. It's someone that's struggling with
7:15
Speaker 1: a mental health issue. Someone that's bipolar, made it depressant.
7:20
Speaker 1: It's someone that's dealing with sexuality and who they are, right,
7:24
Speaker 1: It's someone there's a multitude of things that we have
7:27
Speaker 1: seen with these mental health issues. And we live in
7:32
Speaker 1: a world now that tells everybody, oh, just act like
7:34
Speaker 1: it's all normal. Love is love, right, everything's the same,
7:38
Speaker 1: do what you want to do, be who you want
7:40
Speaker 1: to be. It doesn't affect anybody else that did today.
7:43
Speaker 1: Some people are going to criticize me, saying this is
7:45
Speaker 1: too soon to have this conversation, and I would respond
7:48
Speaker 1: to you know, it's not. This is exactly when we
7:50
Speaker 1: have this conversation, when we're all in shock, because this
7:52
Speaker 1: is what happens when you try to normalize something that
7:56
Speaker 1: is not normal. It is not normal to allow young
8:01
Speaker 1: people who claim they're the opposite sex to go into
8:04
Speaker 1: the opposite sex's bathroom. That's not normal. It is not
8:08
Speaker 1: normal for the President the United States of America to
8:11
Speaker 1: give out an award on National Women's Day to a dude.
8:14
Speaker 1: That's what happened at the White House this year. That
8:17
Speaker 1: is not normal. It is not normal to have a
8:20
Speaker 1: guy who's in charge of our government in the Health
8:22
Speaker 1: Department who is a man dressing like a woman. That's
8:25
Speaker 1: not normal. It's not normal to have a transgendered individual
8:29
Speaker 1: at the White House working there that steals women's luggage
8:33
Speaker 1: and gets fired for it because it's clearly a mental
8:35
Speaker 1: health issue. That's not normal. But this administration, there is
8:39
Speaker 1: a culture war in this country. Happening right now, and
8:42
Speaker 1: there are good and evil, and the side of evil
8:45
Speaker 1: is winning more often the side of good because there's
8:47
Speaker 1: too many Conservatives, and there are too many Christians, and
8:51
Speaker 1: there are too many people that are not willing to
8:53
Speaker 1: stand up for what they believe in. It is not
8:56
Speaker 1: normal what they're trying to do to our children in
9:00
Speaker 1: this country. It's never normal, by the way, to send
9:02
Speaker 1: you to put a young child into a drag queen
9:05
Speaker 1: queen show. We have drag Queen hours happening all of
9:09
Speaker 1: the country. And why are they doing it to normalize it?
9:12
Speaker 1: They're doing it to normalize it. We can live in
9:16
Speaker 1: this world where we sit here and we live in
9:20
Speaker 1: this evil moment of up is down and down is up,
9:25
Speaker 1: and left is right and right is left. We can
9:26
Speaker 1: live in a world where we try to accept everyone
9:31
Speaker 1: and everything and every radical, extreme idea and normalize it.
9:35
Speaker 1: And if we do, what's going to happen is we're
9:39
Speaker 1: going to fail, and there are consequences, and we are
9:42
Speaker 1: living in those consequences right now. We are living in
9:44
Speaker 1: those times right now. You can relate this to every
9:48
Speaker 1: radical idea we've had in this country that's been a
9:51
Speaker 1: failure in recent years, defund the police. Look at the
9:54
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter campaign. It was nothing but a corporate
9:59
Speaker 1: grab of money and a few people got rich and
10:03
Speaker 1: the black community was never helped. Anybody going to investigate that, right,
10:06
Speaker 1: but it was Black lives matter and billions of dollars
10:08
Speaker 1: were given from corporations and shakedowns. Where did the money go?
10:12
Speaker 1: We'll move on from that. We don't want to talk
10:14
Speaker 1: about that, right because we have to get woke and
10:16
Speaker 1: be Black lives matter. Somebody could have asked a question,
10:20
Speaker 1: where the hell's all the money going? We know now
10:21
Speaker 1: it was billions of dollars, billions of dollars that was
10:25
Speaker 1: shaped down from these corporations because all these corporations are like,
10:28
Speaker 1: all right, we'll virtue signal with you. Part of that
10:31
Speaker 1: movement was defund the police. How's that worked out? In
10:35
Speaker 1: every single city where defund the police has happened? In
10:39
Speaker 1: every single city where they have had prison reform, bail reform,
10:43
Speaker 1: basically lawless is what's happened. More people have died, specifically minorities.
10:49
Speaker 1: If you care about black lives matter, okay, if you
10:53
Speaker 1: care about black lives matter, then you would stand out
10:57
Speaker 1: for black lives that are being murdered in cities every
10:59
Speaker 1: single day where they have defunded and undermine the police,
11:03
Speaker 1: undermined law and order, underminded sanity. Sexuality is where the
11:08
Speaker 1: Democrats have gone all in. They want to indoctrinate your
11:12
Speaker 1: kids in school as a very young age to be
11:14
Speaker 1: gay or lesbian, or transgender or bisexual. They don't want
11:16
Speaker 1: your kid to just be straight, right. They don't want
11:20
Speaker 1: your kid to just date the opposite sex only. They
11:23
Speaker 1: want them to experiment. They want them to be by curious.
11:29
Speaker 1: They want them to grow up in this form of evil.
11:36
Speaker 1: And we're too afraid to call it that because we
11:39
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. We're too afraid to
11:43
Speaker 1: be honest about what this is because we don't want
11:45
Speaker 1: to hurt anybody's feelings. Why would we ever hurt someone's feelings.
11:50
Speaker 1: We don't want to do that, so we just say nothing. Right,
11:53
Speaker 1: everybody just wants to get along. We are normalizing serious
11:57
Speaker 1: mental health issues. We are normalizing serious mental health problems.
12:02
Speaker 1: And when you see today the news break in Nashville
12:05
Speaker 1: that a guy that a girl that identified as a
12:08
Speaker 1: guy went back to her traditional value school where she
12:12
Speaker 1: attended and decided her best option was to kill innocent
12:18
Speaker 1: children and three teachers, three staff members. It is going
12:24
Speaker 1: to go back to mental health. You look at almost
12:27
Speaker 1: every one of these mass shooting school shootings, there's drug abuse. Marijuana.
12:33
Speaker 1: We've normalized that though, right, because smoking weeds totally normal now, Right,
12:37
Speaker 1: we've given in on that. Well, it's no different than alcohol,
12:40
Speaker 1: that's the argument. Right. Well, it's at least I'm not
12:43
Speaker 1: driving around killing somebody drunk. Right, that's the other argument.
12:45
Speaker 1: We've heard a lot of different arguments. We've normalized it. Now,
12:49
Speaker 1: weeds everywhere. Right, we've lost the battle, the left one, right,
12:52
Speaker 1: the latter radical left one. Now we've got a bunch
12:55
Speaker 1: of kids walk around who are addicts, but they're not
12:58
Speaker 1: addicts because we've changed the definition of what an addict is.
13:02
Speaker 1: We've normalized it. Right, it's totally cool to eat edibles.
13:06
Speaker 1: And then we've let them pervert the drugs. Right, it's
13:08
Speaker 1: no longer smoking actual weed. No, No No, we'll put it
13:11
Speaker 1: in gummies, We'll put it in brownies. We'll put it
13:16
Speaker 1: in edibles, because that's how you get people hooked, right, Right,
13:21
Speaker 1: we put them in we put them in edibles, and
13:25
Speaker 1: then bam, now we're in a great spot. Now. Now,
13:30
Speaker 1: now we can really suck in young people into drug addiction.
13:34
Speaker 1: We also know that marijuana is a gateway drug. There's
13:37
Speaker 1: no denying it. There's multiple studies that have been put
13:40
Speaker 1: out there, even by liberal universities and doctors who said
13:44
Speaker 1: that absolutely smoking weed is a gateway into other hardcore drugs,
13:49
Speaker 1: and those that deal the drugs they know that too.
13:53
Speaker 1: So let's get them hooked on weed and then at
13:55
Speaker 1: some point they'll get bored or numbed to it, and
13:58
Speaker 1: then they're going to need something else, and we'll be
14:00
Speaker 1: killing their brain cells the entire time. And then we'll
14:04
Speaker 1: get them hooked on some other stuff, some harder stuff,
14:06
Speaker 1: and then we'll own them for the rest of their
14:07
Speaker 1: lives because they'll be a slave to our drugs. Right,
14:11
Speaker 1: there'll be a slave to us. We're going to own them. Folks.
14:14
Speaker 1: This is evil And people are gonna say, Ben, this
14:17
Speaker 1: is not the time to have this conversation. Yes it is.
14:21
Speaker 1: This is the time to have this conversation. We should
14:24
Speaker 1: have been having this conversation a lot sooner than now,
14:26
Speaker 1: but people are too afraid of offending somebody. Oh I
14:29
Speaker 1: don't want to offend anybody. Hi, That's the last thing
14:31
Speaker 1: I want to do. Ben. I don't want someone to
14:34
Speaker 1: be upset with me. I don't want to hurt somebody's feelings.
14:36
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay in my lane and work the
14:38
Speaker 1: other way. Well, they're not staying in their lane, and
14:39
Speaker 1: I'm talking about those who are advocating for this evil.
14:42
Speaker 1: They're not staying in their lane. They're coming after your children,
14:45
Speaker 1: and they're trying to indoctrinate your children. And they're trying
14:49
Speaker 1: to tell your children that their radical ways of life
14:52
Speaker 1: are completely normal, and they are not. But that's what
14:56
Speaker 1: they're coming to tell you. That's what they're saying to you.
15:00
Speaker 1: There's also another problem here, and it deals with guns.
15:05
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about gun control, even though Biden
15:07
Speaker 1: wants more gun control. We know that there's this much
15:11
Speaker 1: evil in the world. Why are we not advocating for
15:14
Speaker 1: more armed resource officers at schools public or private? Because
15:18
Speaker 1: this Nashville Christian school had no armed resource officers. Gun
15:23
Speaker 1: free zones don't work. It takes a good guy with
15:26
Speaker 1: a gun, just like these police officers that showed up
15:28
Speaker 1: in Nashville to take her out to save the day.
15:31
Speaker 1: Every time it's a good guy with a gun that's
15:34
Speaker 1: going to stop a bad guy with a gun. Of course,
15:37
Speaker 1: the media will not cover this at all. They will
15:40
Speaker 1: not cover the mental health issues here. Local law enforcement
15:43
Speaker 1: in Nashville has confirmed that the shooter is a biological
15:47
Speaker 1: female that identifies as trans. They said this in their
15:51
Speaker 1: press conference. They will bury this story just like they
15:56
Speaker 1: did at the Polst night club. They will marry this
16:01
Speaker 1: problem that we have with mental health issues, just like
16:05
Speaker 1: we saw in Wisconsin. Both of those dealt with the
16:09
Speaker 1: same issues, the mental health issues that we've tried to
16:12
Speaker 1: normalize in sexuality because of people on the left who
16:16
Speaker 1: are hell bent on normalizing mental health issues. When you
16:20
Speaker 1: believe that you're the opposite sex, that is not normal
16:23
Speaker 1: and it should be treated as a mental health issue.
16:25
Speaker 1: It should not be embraced. And I've said this before,
16:29
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. People are gonna be like, well, Ben,
16:31
Speaker 1: today's not day to talk about then when is the
16:33
Speaker 1: day to talk about this? To quote all those in
16:35
Speaker 1: the left, thoughts and prayers are no longer enough. Why
16:37
Speaker 1: aren't we telling the truth about what's happening here? Because
16:40
Speaker 1: there's one thing that's consistent with these school shooters. There
16:44
Speaker 1: are mental health issues. Now let's talk about the gun
16:48
Speaker 1: aspect of this needs to be talked about as well.
16:52
Speaker 1: Why are we allowing our kids to be so vulnerable?
16:56
Speaker 1: Covenant School, with the Christian school where an attacker killed
16:58
Speaker 1: three students Monday, did not have an armed resource officer
17:02
Speaker 1: on campus when the attack occurred. John Roberts the Fox
17:06
Speaker 1: News noted that during live coverage of this shooting at
17:08
Speaker 1: the Nashville area Covenant School, Nashville Police spokesman indicay the
17:13
Speaker 1: attacker was a young woman who appeared to be in
17:16
Speaker 1: her teens, armed with multiple firearms. We now know that
17:19
Speaker 1: she was older than that. Roberts said, there was no
17:22
Speaker 1: school resource officer president at the school. It's a private school.
17:25
Speaker 1: It doesn't employ anybody from the National Police Department to
17:27
Speaker 1: look after the school. There were no armed resource officers,
17:31
Speaker 1: by the way, at Denver East High School when a
17:33
Speaker 1: seventeen year old student shot two staff members on Wednesday,
17:37
Speaker 1: Denver Public School superintendent responded by announcing two armed resource
17:42
Speaker 1: officers would be placed on campus after they already had
17:45
Speaker 1: two people there that were killed. But you gotta understand
17:49
Speaker 1: there's good and evil, right, So what does the president say.
17:52
Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary came out swinging today Biden wants
17:55
Speaker 1: Congress to pass more gun control. The White House Press
17:58
Speaker 1: Secretary didn't miss right a moment because never let a
18:02
Speaker 1: crisis go to waste, demanding that America listen to the
18:06
Speaker 1: president and the Biden presidency wants Congress to pass more
18:09
Speaker 1: gun control after an attacker shot and killed three students
18:12
Speaker 1: at the National Area Covenant School, they want this. During
18:18
Speaker 1: this press conference, she referenced the gun control that Senator
18:21
Speaker 1: John Cordon, a Republican from Texas, worked with Democrats to
18:23
Speaker 1: secure in the summer of twenty twenty two, but stress
18:26
Speaker 1: that Biden wants Congress to act to pass even more
18:29
Speaker 1: gun control. He said, he wants Congress act because enough
18:33
Speaker 1: is enough. How many more children have to be murdered
18:37
Speaker 1: before Republicans and Congress will step up and act to
18:39
Speaker 1: pass the assault weapons ban, to close loopholes in our
18:42
Speaker 1: background check system, or or to the require the safe
18:46
Speaker 1: storage of guns. She added, we need to do something.
18:50
Speaker 1: By the way, the majority of time we're finding out
18:52
Speaker 1: when these shootings happened, it's the guns were bought legally,
18:54
Speaker 1: owned legally. These background checks were not a problem. Everything
18:58
Speaker 1: was actually done the right way. You have to understand
19:03
Speaker 1: stand they don't care about saving kids' lives. If they did,
19:05
Speaker 1: they'd talk about armed resource officers. If we care about
19:09
Speaker 1: kids and we need to protect kids, and we need
19:11
Speaker 1: to have people at each and every school in America
19:14
Speaker 1: that are there to protect them with a firearm, because
19:17
Speaker 1: every time these shootings go down, the first thing people
19:19
Speaker 1: ask for is police officers to be there with firearms.
19:24
Speaker 1: And New Valley, Texas in the school shooting there, we
19:26
Speaker 1: saw on camera. Unfortunately the chief of police there was
19:29
Speaker 1: not telling those guys to go forward and take out
19:31
Speaker 1: that shooter while he was still killing people in that school.
19:34
Speaker 1: We need teachers, if they're willing to carry a firearm,
19:40
Speaker 1: that's what we need to do. We need teachers and
19:45
Speaker 1: those that work in a school administrators. If they want
19:48
Speaker 1: to carry a firearm and go through training, we should
19:50
Speaker 1: allow them to do it. Because we're also we know
19:52
Speaker 1: what they do every single time they're school shooting. They
19:55
Speaker 1: use their bodies as human shields and they do whatever
19:57
Speaker 1: they can do to protect their kids from dying. We
19:59
Speaker 1: see here come out of every single one of these strategies.
20:03
Speaker 1: We see the most brave men and women who will
20:05
Speaker 1: do anything to protect their students. When these school shootings happen,
20:08
Speaker 1: the teachers are not running away, They're protecting their children.
20:12
Speaker 1: So why don't we let them protect their children? But
20:16
Speaker 1: the left has already said no, no no, and more guns
20:18
Speaker 1: to the schools would keep You know, we have signs
20:20
Speaker 1: up and say gun free zones, and we do, and
20:22
Speaker 1: every time someone decides to break that rule, they win.
20:26
Speaker 1: The gun free zones have never won in our schools.
20:30
Speaker 1: Every single time a bad actor comes in and a
20:34
Speaker 1: bad actor decides to challenge a gun free zone, guess
20:37
Speaker 1: what happens. The bad actor wins and we lose more children.
20:42
Speaker 1: Do I think, by the way, that guns are the
20:44
Speaker 1: only answers solution? No, because I'm not an idiot, but
20:47
Speaker 1: I think it's as stupid to not have resource officers
20:53
Speaker 1: and anyone at that school that wants to go through
20:55
Speaker 1: extra training, who wants to do I want to make
20:57
Speaker 1: this clear because this is where people pervert this conversation.
21:01
Speaker 1: I do not want anyone to carry a gun to
21:02
Speaker 1: the school that doesn't want to carry a gun. I
21:05
Speaker 1: do not want anyone forced to carry a firearm who
21:07
Speaker 1: doesn't want to carry a firearm. I want to make
21:08
Speaker 1: that clear. It's sad that I have to say that
21:10
Speaker 1: every single time we have this conversation. But every single
21:12
Speaker 1: time I have this conversation, I'll get a bunch of
21:14
Speaker 1: crazies that will be like, well, how dare you demand
21:17
Speaker 1: a teachers carry firearms? They there to teach reading, writing,
21:19
Speaker 1: and arithmetic. They're not there to be police officers. They
21:21
Speaker 1: want to be a police officers. They would have signed
21:23
Speaker 1: up to be a police officer. I signed up to
21:25
Speaker 1: teach kids how to read and write and do arithmetic.
21:28
Speaker 1: Well a lot of them, a lot of these schools,
21:29
Speaker 1: they suck at doing that. So I wouldn't want you
21:31
Speaker 1: to carry a gun because you can't even do that
21:34
Speaker 1: part well in our public schools because the teachers unions
21:37
Speaker 1: don't care. They just want to get paid. It's another
21:40
Speaker 1: part of this problem we have to talk about, and
21:43
Speaker 1: I'll deal with that part another day, but I'll go
21:45
Speaker 1: back to this point. Now. My children go to school
21:50
Speaker 1: where the first thing and the number one thing I
21:53
Speaker 1: care about is their safety. And I made sure they
21:59
Speaker 1: are to school that where there are people there multiple
22:02
Speaker 1: people there that are armed. I don't care if they're
22:05
Speaker 1: full time police or if they are or if they
22:08
Speaker 1: are teachers and administrators, the more the merrier. If there's
22:12
Speaker 1: fifty guns on campus, I will sleep better at night.
22:15
Speaker 1: If there's a hundred on campus, I will sleep better
22:18
Speaker 1: at night. That was a priority for me. We should
22:23
Speaker 1: make it a priority for every public school in America
22:26
Speaker 1: because not everybody can afford to go to a private school,
22:28
Speaker 1: and our kids should be safe. And this is a
22:30
Speaker 1: private school today that did not have a resource officer.
22:33
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that's going to change now. It shouldn't.
22:36
Speaker 1: We shouldn't wait until a school shooting happens at the
22:40
Speaker 1: actual school to change that. I want to make that also,
22:42
Speaker 1: very very very very clear. Right, we shouldn't wait to
22:46
Speaker 1: that point. We should be able to protect our kids.
22:50
Speaker 1: And for Biden to come out and be like, oh,
22:51
Speaker 1: we're going for the guns and the other part that
22:54
Speaker 1: was weird as it came downstairs, and it also just
22:57
Speaker 1: tells you a lot about this president. This audio is rough. Okay,
23:04
Speaker 1: this audio is rough, and I'm going to play it
23:06
Speaker 1: for you in a second. But the President comes down
23:08
Speaker 1: talking about coming down for ice cream at an event
23:12
Speaker 1: instead of talking about the worst nightmare for parents today.
23:14
Speaker 1: He got to that point later. I do also want
23:18
Speaker 1: to go back to one other thing, this radicalization of
23:23
Speaker 1: transgenderism in this country, and you look at what's happened
23:27
Speaker 1: with sports swimmer Riley Ganes slammed ESPN for honoring an arrogant,
23:31
Speaker 1: cheap trans athlete and Leah Thomas and Women's History Month
23:35
Speaker 1: special as Thomas denies he's transitioned to win and says
23:38
Speaker 1: I didn't have any other choice. They're celebrating this at
23:43
Speaker 1: the White House. They gave away recently an award to
23:46
Speaker 1: a Woman of the Year that was actually a dude
23:49
Speaker 1: dressed like a chick. We have health experts under this
23:52
Speaker 1: White House. I'll say it again that our dudes dressed
23:55
Speaker 1: like chicks of all the deserving female athletes in this country. ESPN,
24:01
Speaker 1: just to think about the propaganda here, decided to honor
24:05
Speaker 1: Leah Thomas, a dude, a cheater who couldn't make it
24:09
Speaker 1: with the men and a man, and celebrate it a
24:13
Speaker 1: dude in Women's History Month. But if you put your
24:17
Speaker 1: kids in front of ESPN, now they're going to see
24:19
Speaker 1: this filth. Maybe it's time to change the channel. Maybe
24:22
Speaker 1: it's time to see these corporations go broke. Maybe it's
24:25
Speaker 1: time to understand something. That's your job to protect your children,
24:30
Speaker 1: protect your children from this type of evil and stand
24:33
Speaker 1: up to it. Don't and again you're gonna If you're
24:36
Speaker 1: offending people, you're probably doing something right. I've gotten to
24:40
Speaker 1: the point now where I walk around and I walk
24:47
Speaker 1: around and people come up to me and they get
24:51
Speaker 1: in my face. People are more in my face now
24:53
Speaker 1: they've ever been in my career. And that's how I
24:55
Speaker 1: honestly know that I'm making a difference. I'm not gonna
24:58
Speaker 1: sit here and watch people will do this to this
25:01
Speaker 1: country and to abuse children and to try to teach
25:04
Speaker 1: them that being anything but just straight or gay is
25:08
Speaker 1: what you want to do. Okay, I'm just not going
25:10
Speaker 1: to do that. I'm not going to sit here and
25:13
Speaker 1: tell my kid that it's normal for a dude to
25:15
Speaker 1: swim with chicks. I'm not going to sit here and
25:18
Speaker 1: tell my sons to celebrate men who are being named
25:23
Speaker 1: Women of the Year in sports at the White House
25:27
Speaker 1: being given award. I'm not going to tell my sons
25:30
Speaker 1: that it's normal for them to want to wear a
25:33
Speaker 1: dress and wear a dress and to become a woman.
25:35
Speaker 1: You cannot become a woman if you're a man. It's
25:37
Speaker 1: called playing dress up, but you're actually still a dude.
25:40
Speaker 1: And when you do this, okay, when you do this,
25:45
Speaker 1: I want to be clear about this. When you do this,
25:48
Speaker 1: what happens is it's a ticking time bomb. You're not
25:53
Speaker 1: doing anybody any favors. You're not doing any one any favors.
26:02
Speaker 1: I want to play for you what the President did
26:04
Speaker 1: have to say. After he talked about ice cream for
26:06
Speaker 1: literally a minute or two, then he got over the
26:09
Speaker 1: podium and then he started reading from his remarks. Here's
26:11
Speaker 1: what he had to say. I just want to speak
26:13
Speaker 1: very briefly about the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. You know,
26:19
Speaker 1: Ben and I have been doing this our whole careers,
26:22
Speaker 1: it seems, and it's just it's sick. You know. We're
26:28
Speaker 1: still gathering the facts of what happened and why, and
26:32
Speaker 1: we do know that as of now, there are a
26:35
Speaker 1: number of people who are not going did not make it,
26:38
Speaker 1: including children. It's heartbreaking, a family's worst nightmare. And I
26:45
Speaker 1: want to commend the police who responded credibly swiftly within
26:49
Speaker 1: minutes and the danger. We're monitoring the situation really closely, Ben,
26:54
Speaker 1: as you know, and we have to do more to
26:58
Speaker 1: stop gun violence. It's in our communities apart, ripping a
27:02
Speaker 1: soul of this nation, ripping it the very soul of
27:04
Speaker 1: the nation. And we have to do more to protect
27:07
Speaker 1: our schools so they aren't turned into prisons. You know.
27:10
Speaker 1: A shooter in this situation reported we had two assault
27:14
Speaker 1: weapons and a pistol to eight GA forty seven. So
27:18
Speaker 1: I call on Congress again to pass my assault weapons ban.
27:22
Speaker 1: It's about time that we began to make some more progress,
27:25
Speaker 1: but there's more to learn. But I just wanted to
27:29
Speaker 1: send my concern and hearts out to so many parents
27:34
Speaker 1: out there. I've been to so many of these sites,
27:37
Speaker 1: as Ben knows, by virtually everyone. And one of the
27:42
Speaker 1: things you folks should, I know, you do know what
27:46
Speaker 1: you should focus on, you know, just like when in
27:50
Speaker 1: the military, my son was in Iraq for your other places.
27:54
Speaker 1: You's so many members of the military coming back a
27:59
Speaker 1: post traumatic st after witnessing the violence and participating it. Well,
28:05
Speaker 1: these children, these teachers there should be should be focusing
28:09
Speaker 1: on their mental health as well. And so I'm grateful anyway,
28:15
Speaker 1: sorry to start off that way, but I couldn't begin
28:17
Speaker 1: without and acknowledging what happened, President certainly didn't mind immediately
28:23
Speaker 1: going into pushing for gun control. By the way, he
28:26
Speaker 1: doesn't know and background checks. He doesn't know if she
28:29
Speaker 1: did or did not have a background check. Okay, he
28:33
Speaker 1: doesn't know if she had multiple weapons. He doesn't know
28:38
Speaker 1: what weapons were used. The point that he made that statement,
28:41
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter because they're going to push their
28:45
Speaker 1: agenda every single time they have an opportunity, and this
28:47
Speaker 1: was that moment, and this was that moment where there
28:49
Speaker 1: was an opportunity to do it, and he was going
28:51
Speaker 1: to take it. They're not backing down, by the way,
28:56
Speaker 1: have you noticed this, Like they're not backing down. Okay,
29:01
Speaker 1: like they're they're gonna keep going forward. They're gonna keep
29:06
Speaker 1: pushing no matter what. They're not gonna stop, and they're
29:11
Speaker 1: gonna doctrinate your children if you don't stand up and
29:13
Speaker 1: protect them
