BIDEN, PELOSI, MEDIA PUSH LIES TO DEMAND GUN CONTROL AFTER CO SHOOTING. THIS IS PURE EVIL! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're waking up this morning to a full on war
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: against your right to bear arms. Joe Biden is now
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: considering quote executive action on gun control. All of this
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: because of what we now know about the shooter in Colorado.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: An Isis sympathizer who hated Donald Trump decided to go
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in and shoot up a Boulder, Colorado grocery store and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: kill ten people. And the answer Biden's answer to this
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: act of an individual that came from Syria that was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: apparently an Isis sympathizer is to take away guns from
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: all law abiding citizens. And before we knew anything about
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this individual, it was almost like the Democrats had decided,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: no matter what happens, when there is the next quote shooting,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go for gun control because we're not going
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to let an opertunity disappear from us. Never let an
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: opportunity be wasted, never let a tragedy be wasted when
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you can push something political. And by the way, we've
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: got all the tweets of all the limberals who claimed
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that the shooter was quote a white Trump supporter before
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: they knew anything. Because this is identity politics, right. Identity
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: politics is the left is raging with the left, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the left had come out immediately saying that this tragedy
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was going to be caused by a white Trump supporter.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Let me give you an example of just some of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the things that were said, those who claimed the shooter
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was either quote white or a Trump supporter, and then
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they were just shocked when actually they found out it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was actually someone that was anti Trump and someone that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: apparently is an ISIS sympathizer. Here's an example of one
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of those tweets. The shooter was taken into custody. In
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: other words, it was almost certainly a white man. Again,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: if he were black or brown, he would be dead.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: That coming from Amy Siskin. David Hoffman tweeted out, I'll
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: bet anyone my salary right now that the shooter in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Boulder is a right wing maga white male again at
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: any politics. Nope, it's not. It's a guy from Syria,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a guy that's an IBI sympathizer, and a guy who
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: hates Donald Trump based on what was on his Facebook page.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the niece of the Vice President of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the United States of America and her verified Twitter account,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Mina Harris. She tweeted out the Atlanta shooting was not
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: terrorist threat in our country. That's what you call racism.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: That tweet has since been deleted because oops, she was wrong.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go to another verified account, doctor Onny Blackstone. People
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: will continue to die just so that white men can
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: own guns and reinforce the power they already have. Guess what.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The guy to the shooting not white. Let's go to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Rosanna Arquette. You know she's an actress. Call it what
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it is, white supremacist domestic terrorism. This was all tweeted out,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of course, before we knew anything that had happened, because
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the narrative of the identity politics was already set. They
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: were organized, they were prepared, they were ready to pounce.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: DL Hughley he won't lose a job over this. He
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: won't not appear in movies or do stand up. No, no no, no,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: He'll keep all his jobs. He tweeted out, a white
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: arm mass murderer has a better chance surviving an encounter
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: with a police and a black dude holding a phone.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Guess what, he was wrong. Don't worry, he won't lose
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a job over the identity politics and the racist tweet
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that he's sent out against white people. George Hahn also
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: verified twitter account. He's famous. Right when a white guy
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with an AAR fifteen shoots and kills a bunch of people,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is the motive really? Is the motive really relevant? Then
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: he says, in all caps spoiler alert, on the motive,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he was having feelings, anger, invisibility, impotence, ie not special again,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: not even true at all. Julia DeCaro, she's also an author.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: She tweeted out extremely tired of people's lives depending on
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: whether a white man with an AR fifteen is having
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a good day or not. Now, notice that they're already
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: naming the gun before they even knew what gun was used.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And that didn't matter either, because you have the president nights,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it's America. They were locked and loaded, they were ready
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to go. Whatever the next tragedy is, we're going to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: use it to come after law abiding citizens guns, regardless
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of what the actual story is here. Helma Javir, another
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: famous person on social media quote, it's always an angry
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: white man. Always guess what it wasn't an angry right man.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: It was an ISO sympathizer guy that came from Syria.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But hey, let's keep pushing the racist narrative. Julie DeCaro,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: She also wrote this, and they are always angry about women,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: angry about women. What does this have to do with women? Again?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: This guy hated Donald Trump. This guy who did this
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was an ISO sympathizer, from what we understand, extremely tired
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of people's lives depending on whether a white man, whether
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a r is having a good or bad day. Yes,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: all of these people, all these idiots on the left,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: immediately jumped to politicize the tragic Boulder shooting, to push
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: their narrative, to take away guns from law abiding citizens,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and to attack in a racist way white people. You
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: want to know why there's so much division in this country.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It's not because of white conservatives. It's because of these
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: psychotic lefties who attack now white men every time they
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: get a chance, even if it's not a white man
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: has committed the heinous crime. Look at what happened in Atlanta.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: What happened Atlanta was horrific, it was tragic, But it
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: was an individual that is clearly said, I went in
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to go kill the sex workers because they've ruined my
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: life and I'm addicted to sex. And they took all
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: my money and they were destroying my life. None of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: what I just said had anything to do with the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: race of an individual. Nevertheless, on social media, we jumped
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: all to conclusions about Asian Americans. Asian Americans, this is racism, racism,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: racism and racism. And the dude who did the crimes, like, no,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I was addicted to sex. I went into these parlors
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to get sexual favors done. They ruined my life. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: decided to go kill these sex workers. It was not
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: motivated by the fact they were Asian American. It was
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: motivated by the fact that they were in the sex industry.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And he said they ruined his life. Obviously not a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: reason to kill people. But that's the real reason. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they're like, no, no no, no, it can't be true. We
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: must use it in any politics. We must politicize this,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: We must demand that we stopped the violence against the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Asian American community immediately. And the guy's like, hold on
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a second, it had nothing to do with them being Asian,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. That's a narrative. We're the media, we're selling it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, I was just addicted to sex.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I was, and these people were giving me that sex
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and I was paying them. They ruined my life. That's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: why I went and kill them. Nope, sorry, we're gonna
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: hijack the real reason why you did this and turn
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it into a political identity race issue. Thank you for
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: being here and giving us an example so now we
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: can push our leftist agenda. And they did it again
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: less than a week later. They pushed the narrative for
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: their advantage so that they could do what they want
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to do, which is get rid of law abiding citizens guns.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You can think the Democratic Party and you can think
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the media for this divisiveness. They've been stoking the fires
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a division and racism for decades now, and now what
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you're seeing is the fruits of their labor. You want
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to talk about the real issues here, the real issue here,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: clearly he has to deal with the issue mental illness
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and apparently terrorism. And the only political question at this
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: point is this is isis making a comeback under the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: president nine States America, Joe Biden. That's the real issue
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: that everyone should be concerned about here. But no, no no, no,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: we got we gotta push a racial agenda that this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: guy was white, even though he's not. We gotta blame
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: white men for it even though he's not. We gotta
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: take away rights of law abiding citizens because of the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: actions of an ISIS sympathizer who, by the way, hated
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. You want to attack political beliefs, here, attack
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the political beliefs to the left, because this guy was
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a lefty, not a righty. And the leftist narrative was
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: shattered because of truth about this Colorado shooting suspect. As
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: it was revealed, they don't care though, They're gonna keep
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: going for your guns. This was a horrific shooting Monday
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in Boulder, Colorado at this supermarket. But the reality is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it was done by a prominent left winger who hated
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Trump and who was apparently an Isist sympathizer, and the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: left wing media and the figures of social media rushed
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to Twitter to denounce this act. Just kidding, they didn't.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: They didn't jump to Twitter to denounce his heinous act
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and to mourn the temple that were killed. But instead
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they decided to come out and attack this shooter because
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of his skin color. And they got that wrong. They
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: said this was white supremacy. They got it wrong. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: said it was an angry white man. They got that wrong.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: They said it was a right winger. They got that wrong.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: They said it was a Trump support They got that wrong.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: They said it was the Only thing they got right
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: was the fact that he was a male. Now, remember
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't even say he was a man. They said
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he was a white male. He was a Maga male,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: he was a Trump supporter male. They got everything wrong.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. Today we're moving, possibly through executive order to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: take away our guns. So regardless of the fact that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden has now decided to pounce on this tragedy
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to push gun control meta that very well may have
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: not done anything to stop the shooting that happened in Colorado,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: they're also deciding to look over what we do know
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the actual facts about this Syrian born gunman, Ahmad Alisa,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: twenty one. We also know a lot about him now,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and this is just in the last few hours. We
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: know that the FBI was new about him. He was
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on their quote radar screen. And before we get into
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: who he is as a gunman, I want you to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: understand something else. I want you to understand the laws
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: so that you really really get it of what is
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: already happening in Colorado. Colorado. As a state already has
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: everything that the left is demanding when it comes to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: gun control. Colorado has universal background checks, which is what
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they're pushing for. So we clearly know that universal background
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: checks did not stop this shooter. We know that the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: shooting suspect has been described as paranoid by his own family.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: We know that Colorado also has red flag gun seizure
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: laws that didn't work either. We know that Colorado already
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: has high capacity magazine bands that didn't help either. We
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: also know a passing gun control grade from the Gabby
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Gifford's Courage Foundation. That's her organization, right, the former congresswoman
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: who was shot. We know that Colorado gives a A
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a passing gun control grade and a the best you
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: can get from her, and still it didn't stop. This
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: isis sympathizer, this anti Trump, lunatic ahmad Ala Lisa from
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: murdering Americans. I want you to just think about that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So an isis sympathizer, shot up this girl store, killed
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: ten people, and Joe Biden. The left's answer is, hey
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: blame white men for this. Take away all the white
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: man's guns, and take away guns from all law abiding citizens.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about who this guy is right, because
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't fit their narrative at all, But it doesn't matter.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: They pounced anyway because they were ready. Whenever we have something,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: never let a tragedy go to waste. That's the Democrat's motto,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: never let a tragedy go to waste. We have a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Syrian born gunman twenty one years old, known to the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: FBI and ranted about Islamophobic individuals. He even ranted about
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: people Islamophobes hacking his phone before killing ten at this
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Boulder grocery store with an assault rifle he bought one
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: week ago, which complied with all the laws, the extreme
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: gun control laws in Colorado. He opened fired at this
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: King grocery store at two forty pm. He killed two
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: people in the parking lot before entering the store, where
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he killed another eight people. His motive is still quote unknown.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: The media says when he surrendered police, he asked to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: speak to his mother. In Facebook posts over the last
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: eighteen months, he complained that he didn't have a girlfriend
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and hated Donald Trump. Hold on a second, let's go
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: back to all the famous people and all the elect
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: officials who said it's angry white man that loves Trump.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's a Magat supporter that loves Trump. It's a white
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: angry man with a gun that supports Trump. It's a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Magat person. Oh wait, he hated Trump. Whoops. This man's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: brother also told The Daily Beast he was quote very
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: antisocial and had been paranoid since high school. Since high school,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He described him as mentally ill and said he'd been
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: bullied in school and that it was not politically motivated
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the attack. His sister in law said she'd seen him
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: playing with a gun recently, but did not suspect him
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a violence. So you got assistant says he's playing with
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a gun. You got a brother. He says he's mentally
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: ill and he's been bullied, and then and saying that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: his brother was a very antisocial and he was paranoidsince
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: high school. And and again, we had the laws to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: take this gun away from this guy in Colorado, and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: no one turned him in. The victims reigns and ages
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: from twenty to sixty five. Among them was a police officer,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: shoppers and people were getting their COVID nineteen vaccines. Let's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: take away guns. Let's do it right now, folks. Let's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: claim he's an evil white guy even though he's not
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a white guy. President Biden immediately came out called for
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a nationwide ban on assault rifles and tighter laws on
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: background checks. The background check system worked for this guy
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: when he got his gun. He didn't do it illegally.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: The background checked worked. So we're gonna we're gonna pass
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a law that would have no bearing on this shooting.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You want to know, you want to talk about what
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: being a sick individual looks like. When you use an
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: actual tragedy with ten people dying to push something that
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you know, if implemented, would have had no impact on
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: stopping the event that just happened. That is pure political evil.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: That is sadistic. In my mind. You take a tragedy,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you sell the public that you're gonna fix this from
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: happening again by passing a law that you know, if enacted,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: which it already was in Colorado, would have had no
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: bearing on stopping what just happened. And you push it anyway,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: You push it anyway. This guy, we had the red flags, folks.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: He was known to the FBI, had reinted online about
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: racist islamopholpes hacking his phone. This guy wanted to speak
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to his mother after surning the police, having stripped off
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and laid down his ar ruger. He had a handgun
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and tactical vests and the supermarket aisles. He took it
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: all off on purpose. He didn't want to die, He
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: just want to kill a bunch of people. He was
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a high school wrestler who was described by his family
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: as mentally ill. They didn't turn him in. They didn't say, hey,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: maybe this guy shouldn't have a gun while he's playing
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: with a gun the last week. The guy was born
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: in Syria, moved the US when he was three. He
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: now lives in Colorado, thirty miles from the grocery store
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: he targeted to forty on Monday, open fired on the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: King grocery store and Boulder killed a police officer. You
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: don't see any of those in the media, by the way,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: supporting or defending or thinking the police, do you. I'm
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: still waiting for the headlines to come out about that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: hero police officer. Go look for those. Nope, not the story.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: We gotta go for guns now. It's all about gun control.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Must go for the guns. Guns are everything. Police officer killed.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about the police officer. Take the guns. Don't
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: worry about the Isa symathizer of the guy who hated
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Take the guns. Just take a listen to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden and what Joe Biden had to say right
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: after this shooting happened. We don't know much at the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: point when Joe Biden decided to talk. It didn't matter
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: because Joe Biden is going to go after guns. We
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: don't know if what he's pushing would have had any
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: impact on this shooter. It doesn't matter because we're gonna
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: go after the guns we were using. We're not going
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to miss an opportunity to use a tragedy to push
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: an agenda, regardless of if that agenda would actually have
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: any impact at all on this shooting that took place.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And everybody's doing this together. The media is doing it,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the Democrats are doing it, Social media influencer are doing it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Blame it on a maga guy, Blame it on a
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Trump supporter, Blame it on a white guy, Blame it
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: on a white supremacist, all of it wrong, doesn't matter.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Keep going, we gotta get these guns. And you listen
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to Biden as he comes out, it's almost like they
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: had pre prepared this, like hey, go ahead and get
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the speech ready for whenever there is another event that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: we can then capitalize on to demand gun control early.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I want to be very clear, this is the one
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: thing I do know enough to say on in terms
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: of what's happened there. While we're still waiting for more
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: information regarding the shooter, his motive, the weapons he used,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the guns, the magazines, the weapons, the modification that apparently
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: have taken place to those weapons they are involved here.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I don't need to wait another minute, let alone an
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: hour to take common sense steps oh save the lives
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in the future, and to urge my colleagues in the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: House and Senate to act. We can ban assault weapons
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and high capacity magazines in this country once again. I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: got that done when I was a Senator. It passed,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it was law for the longest time, and had brought
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: down these mass killings. We should do it again. We
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: can close the loopholes on our background check system, including
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the Charleston loophole. That's one of the best tools we
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have right now to prevent gun violence. The Senate should
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: immediately pass let me say it again, the United States Senate,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I hope some are listening, should immediately pass the two
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: House passed builds the closed loopholes in the background check system.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: These are bills. They receive votes of both Republicans and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Democrats in the House. This is not it should not
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: be a partisan issue. This is an American issue. It
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: will save lives, American lives, and we have to act.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: We should also ban assault weapons in the process. All right,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna do all these things that they say
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: are going to stop this shooting from happening. They had
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: background checks, the ones that they're talking about in Colorado
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: already in place, didn't stop the shooting. So why are
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: we going to pass the law on nationwide that would
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: have not stopped the shooting. Because this isn't about stopping
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the shooting. This is about taking away rights of law
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: abiding citizens. They're not making us safer by doing what
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they just said. Know that this is saying, because of this,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: we're going to do something else that would not stop
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: what just happened. By telling you that we're gonna stop
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: what just happened, sender Ted Cruz did an excellent job
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: yesterday of making it abundantly clear that what they're selling
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you is a total bag of lies, and he obliterated
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Left's push for gun control using this tragic Boulder
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: shooting with facts. Take a listen. Once again we wake
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: up to a horrific act of mass murder. All of
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: us lift up in prayer the families and Boulder, Colorado,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: families in Atlanta that lost their lives and claiming the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: police officer in Boulder, Colorado. I can tell you in
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Texas we've seen far too many of these. I was
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: in Santa Fe the morning of that shooting. Santa Fe
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: High School is less than an hour from my house.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I was in al Paso at the Walmart for yet
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: another senseless mass murder. I was in Dallas where five
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: police officers were murdered by a radical. I was in
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Sutherland Springs, in that beautiful sanctuary where a monster murdered
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: innocent people. I've been to two damn many of these.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Senator from Connecticut just said it's time for us to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: do something. I agree, it is time for us to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: do something. And every time there's a shooting, we play
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this ridiculous theater where this committee gets together and proposes
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a bunch of laws that would do nothing to stop
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: these murders. Senator from Connecticut just said, the folks on
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the other side of the aisle have no solutions. While
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the Senator from Connecticut knows that is false, and he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: knows that's false because Senator Grassley and I together introduce
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: legislation Grassley CRUs targeted at violent criminals, targeted at felon's,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: targeted at fugitives, targeted at those with serious mental disease,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to stop them from getting firearms, to put them in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: prison when they try to illegally buy guns. What happens
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: in this committee after every mass shooting is Democrats proposed
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: taking away guns from law abiding citizens because that's their
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: political objective. But what they proposed not only does it
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: not reduce crime, it makes it worse. The jurisdictions in
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: this country with the strictest gun control have among the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: highest rates of crime and murder. When you disarm law
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: abiding citizens, you make them more likely to be victims.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: If you want to stop these murders, go after the murderers.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Grassly CRUs came to a vote on the floor of
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the Senate in twenty thirteen. It got a majority vote
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate. Fifty two senators voted
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: for Grassly Cruz. In the Harry Read Democratic Senate. Nine
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Democratic senators voted for Grassly Cruz, the most bipartisan support
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of any of the comprehensive legislation. So why did it
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: pass into law? Because Democratic senators, including many of the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: senators in this room, including the Center from Connecticut who
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: just said Republicans have no answers, philibustered the law and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: prevented it from passing demanded sixty votes. If Grassly Crews
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: had passed into law, Sutherland Springs very likely would not
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: have happened. Why is that because the shooter there, the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: murderer there, had a conviction in the Air Force that
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the Obama Air Force failed to report to the background
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: check system, and Grassly Crews mandated an audit of all
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: of the convictions to make sure the background check database
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: has those felonies in it. Not only that Grassly CRUs
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: mandated that when a felon tries to illegally buy a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: firearm that the Department of Justice prosecute them. The Department
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of Justice has a long and I think indefensible practice
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: of not prosecuting felons and fugitives who tried illegally buy guns.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: If Grassly Crews had passed the gun Crimes task Force
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that it had created would have charged prosecutors with going
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: after gun criminals, locking them up and putting them in prison.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: That's how we prevent these Now, we will learn in
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the coming days and weeks the exact motivation of the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: murderers in Atlanta and Boulder, Colorado, will learn what happened there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: But we already know this pattern is predictable, over and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: over and over again. There are steps we can take
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to stop these crimes. And you know what the steps aren't.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: The steps aren't disarming law abiding citizens. Every year, firearms
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: are used in a defensive capacity to defend women, children,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: families roughly a million times a year in the United States,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and the Democrats who want to take away the guns
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: from those potential victims would create more victims of crimes,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: not less. I agree it's a time for actions. And
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: by the way, I don't apologize for thoughts or prayers.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I will lift up in prayer people who hurting, and
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I believe in the power of prayer and the contempt
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: of Democrats for prayers is an odd sociological thing. But
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I also agree thoughts and prayers alone are not enough.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: We need action today. Chairman Grassley and I are introducing
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: again Grassley Cruz and I would ask Senate Democrats, including
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: some of our newer colleagues who just got here, not
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to participate again in the shameful filibuster that this body
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: engaged in in twenty thirteen. Let's target the bad guys,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the felons, the fugitives, those with mental disease. Let's put
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: them in jail, Let's stop them from getting guns. Let's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: not scapegoat innocent, law abiding citizens, and let's not target
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: their constitutional rights. Ted Cruz absolutely right, by the way,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: why would you target law abiding citizens in this country
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and scapegoat then when they have done absolutely nothing wrong
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: instead of actually stopping people from getting these guns? Who
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: are the psyche capacity just mentioned? Because Democrats don't really
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: want to stop this crap, They want to take away
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: your right to bear arms. Why do you think they
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: came out so quickly attacking conservatives, white men, lying about
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the motive behind this individual, saying it's a white guy.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Why do you think they did that because they were
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: already they were this was already orchestrated, They were already
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: ready to pounce. They were already ready to come out,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and no matter what the actual news was. It doesn't
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: matter what the real news is. It didn't matter what
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the real motive is. They were going to not let
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: this tragedy go to waste to push their political agenda
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: that very well would have nothing to do with stopping
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: this shooter because they hate the fact that law abiding
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: citizens in this country can protect and defend themselves. And
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you apparently your public enemy number one, especially if you're white,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: which is racist. Their words not mine, their words not mine.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Must be a white maga guy, Nope, guy hated Donald Trump.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Must be a white man with a gun. Nope, a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: guy from Syria. Not a conservative at all. It's a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: guy who aides Trump. And apparently it's an Isis sympathizer.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: You want to know what Vice President Harris is doing.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: They're focus. They're coming after your guns, folks. They don't
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: care about any of the facts. She just went after
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: all of you on CBS this morning saying this, And
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I believe that it is possible, it has to be
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: possible that people agree that these slaughters have to stop.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And this is again, reject the false choice and stop
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: pushing it. For sure, stop pushing the false choice that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: this means everybody's trying to come after your guns. That
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: is not what we're talking about. Well, you're certainly not
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: going after the guy that did it. You're certainly not
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: telling the truth about an iis to sympathizer an anti
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Trump guy that did it. You're pushing legislation that we
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: know would have had no bearing on the outcome of
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: this shooter. I mean, they were ready for this, folks.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: The Democrats are rate A pounds. They were all in here.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: They were all in on this. This culture the country,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: This country has a culture of arrogance. Is what CNN's
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Mud had to say, unleashing on Americans and our gun culture, saying,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: how dare you not understand where we are right now?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: You keep talking about mental health? Phil here and I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: want to read you what the brother of the suspect
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: told CNN. He always suspected someone was behind him, someone
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: was chasing him. We kept a close eye on him
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: when he was at high school. He would say, someone
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: is chasing me, someone is investigating me, and we're like,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: come on, man, there's nothing. He was just closing into himself.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: So if you hear that and you're investigating this, what
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: do you think? What do you do where I have
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: two views. The first is be careful. Do we want
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: people who are friends or family calling federal authorities or
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: state authorities and saying, my friend or family shouldn't have
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: a weapon. How are you supposed to investigate this at
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the state and local or the federal level. That's you know,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: there's three hundred thirty million of people. I think people
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: who say that are saying things that are appropriate. But
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a simpler answer. Look, this will offend you.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I'm an American. I'm a proud American, but we live
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: in the United States of arrogance. If you look at
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: educational standards in this country, they are mediocre because we
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: cannot look to Asia and Europe and say somebody has
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: a better way. If you look at access to healthcare
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: in this country, we are mediocre because we cannot look
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to Asia and Europe and say other people have better access.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: We should learn. If you look at violent crime and
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: suicide by weapon and you look at Asian and Europe,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: we simply look at Americans say we're exceptional. We cannot
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: look at other countries and say we can learn. This
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: country has a problem with arrogance. John, and you're seeing
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it in spades when we're dealing with these violent crimes.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: So you notice he didn't say anything there, But we're
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: going to attack all the arrogant Americans who believe that
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: our Second Amendments valuable. This country is a culture of arrogance,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: or the United States of arrogance. They're seeing in for
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you this morning. They're coming after your guns at all costs,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and they will not stop until they get them. And
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: they will lie about what the outcome would have been
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: if they even have the laws or demanding that would
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: have been passed. The laws of their demanding right now
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: would have had no influence on this shooting, and we
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: know it because of Colorado's laws on guns. All right, Lastly,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: please help us get this podcast out to your family
