  Speaker 3: We'll explain it all. It's the forty seven Morning Update
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: and it starts right now.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Tragedies happening all over the world. President Donald Trump talking
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: to the American people, being honest about what just happened.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump addressing the attacks at the White House, the
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: attacks in Syria that cost Americans their lives, the attacks
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: at Brown University, and the attacks in Australia. The politics
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: of this already playing out as Democrats are blaming Donald
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Trump for several of these attacks without any evidence, of course,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: to back that up, and Democrats wasting no time using
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: these tragedies to push their political agenda, demanding that we
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: ban all ARS fifteen style weapons, even though at Brown University,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: what we've been told so far is that there was
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: two handguns that were used. If that is the case,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: then they want to pass the law and the name
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of people that died at Brown that would have not
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: had any impact on saving their lives. I want you
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: to listen to what President Trump had to say of
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the trio tax and what do you have to say
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: about what we need to do moving forward.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And before we begin, however, I want to just pay
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: my respects to the people. Unfortunately two are no longer
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with us Brown University, nine injured and two are looking
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: down on us right now from heaven. And likewise, in Australia,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: as you know, that was a terrible attack. Eleven did,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: twenty nine badly wounded, and that was an antisemitic attack obviously,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and that I just want to pay my respects to everybody,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I must say. In Syria also we had an attack
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in Syria and we had three great patriots terminated by
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: bad people and not the Syrian government. It was isis
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Syrian government fought by our side. The new president fought
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: by our side. But I just want to pay my
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: respects to the families. We also had three injured, but
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: two of them are already out of the hospital and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: one's going to be okay. But we lost three, so
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it was a rough it was a rough day. But
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to Australia and the Prime Minister, to everybody that we
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: know so well, we get along with so well, we
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: have a great relationship. That's a terrible situation going on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: over there. Think of that. And Brown University, great school,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: great really one of the greatest schools anywhere in the world.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Things can happen. So to the nine injured, get well fast,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and to the families of those two that are no
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: longer with us. I pay my deepest regards and respects
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: from the United States of America. Thank you very much.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's a very important thing to.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Say, and.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: We mean it. I can tell you in Syria there
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: will be a lot of damage done to the people
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that did it. They got the person, the individual person,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but there'll be big damage done. And the other supposedly
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they call them a person of interest. So I'll keep
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it along those lines. So we don't get ourselves in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: any trouble, but they have a person of interest at
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Brown and in Australia. You probably read it's been a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: very brave person actually who went and attacked frontally one
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of the shooters and saved a lot of lives. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: very brave person who's right now in the hospital, pretty
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: seriously wounded. So I great respect to that man that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: did that. But we're here for a different reason. We're
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: here to celebrate Christmas and to celebrate and I think
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: today we converse a loudly, we celebrate Hanukkah because that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was such a horrible attack. That was a purely anti
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Semitic attack.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: The President United States of America pausing from the celebration
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: at the White House to address all of those attacks.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: We look at the attack at Brown University. First shooting
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: occurred at Brown University in Province Rhode Island during the
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: second day of final exam week. The attack taking place
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: in the Barras and Hollybuilding, which housed the School of
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Engineering and Physics. Shots were fired inside a classroom during
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: exam review session. We know that two people were killed
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: as a result of the shooting. Nine others were wounded.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Most were students. One injured person was hit by fragments
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: rather than a direct bullet. Some of the wounded are
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: in critical but stable condition, and at least one remains
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: in critical care. Authorities have detained a person of interest
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: in connection with the shooting, and you heard the President
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: mention that a moment ago. The person of interest has
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: described now as a twenty four year old man from Wisconsin.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: He was apprehended at a hotel in Rhode Island, about
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: fifteen to seventeen miles from the Brown campus. Two firearms
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: were found as possession, including one they say with a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: laser sight, but officials have yet to formally charge him
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: or confirm his role as the actual shooter. Law enforcement
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: we know, including province PD, state agencies, the FBIATS have
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: been involved in the investigation. Security footage has been released
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: showing the suspect walking near the campus, though his face
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: was not clearly visible in the early videos. There was
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: also initial confusion occurred regarding an arrest on Saturday evening.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: One person initially detained was later released after being determined
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: unrelated to that shooting. Even though many on social media
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: said we've got the shooter, that was not the case.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: We also know that Brown University activated shelter and place
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: alert during the shooting, and after the shooting, students hit
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: under desks under with the lights turned off, waiting for
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: police instructions. The campus lockdown was eventually lifted on Sunday morning.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Brown has canceled the remaining classes, remaining exams, and final
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: assignments for the semester. In the aftermath of the horrific shooting,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the university president, Christina Packson, called the events devastating and
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: know the community was in mourning. National local leaders have
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: condemned the violence and offered support, including statements from elected
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: officials and community vigils that are popping up. Brown University
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: is an Ivy League institution located in the College Hill
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: neighborhood of Providence. Preliminary reports indicate the shooter targeted an
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: active academic setting, making this one of the most serious
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: canvas shootings in recent US history. And what are Democrats
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: now saying? Going straight to politics? Senator Chris Murphy now
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: blaming the Brown shooting on Donald Trump, saying Donald Trump
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: is the man that is campaigning to increase violence in
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: this country. This coming from the Democratic Party, the same
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party that's fighting against Donald Trump taking out violent
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: criminals in many different cities that they run, places like Memphis,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: places like Chicago, places like Minneapolis, Saint Paul. And yet
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: when Donald Trump does everything you can to get violent
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: criminals off the street, they attack the president, stand in
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: his way and try to stop him no matter what.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: These are the same democrats that demonize law enforce, ice agents,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the FBI. The list goes on and on. But when
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: there's an actual attack that takes place on a college
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: campus that was a again, a liberal gun free zone
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: that didn't work. It was a failure yet again. In fact,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: gun free zones are a failure one hundred percent of
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the time when someone decides to break that rule, Chris
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Murphy doesn't look at that. No, Instead, he says it
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: is time to attack Trump, saying that Donald Trump's campaign
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: is to increase violence in this country. Democrats also calling
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: for gun control laws and the banning of guns that
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: weren't even used in the attack based on the information
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: we know, because what do they say, never let a
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: crisis go to waste. So here we are with the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: President of United States of America standing up yet again
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: for what's right in this country. There is now reports
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: out that the attacker was yelling a la ogbar. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: just want to throw that out there for you. Of course,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: you know that's certainly something we're not allowed to talk about, right.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: We have to keep that PC. That's that's that is,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: That's not something that the police want you to know.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Right if if if that I like, that is that
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: that's That's just part of this conversation. We're not allowed
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to have, folks. You can't you can't talk about a
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: radical religion. And now it's completely incompetent or incapable of
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: mingling with freedom, not just in America, anywhere around the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: world where there's freedom and democras. It's incredibly frustrating. It
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: is beyond frustrating. It drives me insane because political correctness
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: is going to undo the United States of America. I
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: want you to listen to what the police said about
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: this attack at Brown University, and I'm gonna go on
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: a limb and say, I'm guessing it has something to
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: do with al Now, I don't want to say that. No, No,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: they're going to say the guy just said something, but
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: we're not gonna tell you anything about it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Again, my condolences and thought some prayers with the families
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: that were impacted by these actions. So yes, the main stated,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: we have detained someone of interest, but respect and to
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: protect the integrity of the investigation, I would only be
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: limited in my details. The next process for us is
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: what we do best and our detectives, is to coordinate
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: with the prosecutors to collect evidence, to conduct interviews, and
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: then from there we'll be able to when it's appropriate
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: and accurate, to share more details with you all. But
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I'm pleased to say that the mayor stated the collaboration
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: between our federal partners, our different municipalities in the state,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: it's all hends on deck. And you know when this
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: instance in the city that's chacter conscious, we know for
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: a fact that we just stay up and the federal agents,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the federal partners, I want to thank them for their resistance,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: but as well every single municipality, the state police, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: every other chief in the state. We came together as
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: a small state. It impacted a lot of us the
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: incident that occurred, and so again I'm just happy to
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: share with you that we're in the process now of
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: coordinating with prosecution, conducting interviews and being able to collect evidence.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: So that we can protect the integrity of the investigation
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: and that we can hold the individuals accountable for their action.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Police have a suspect of the mass shooting at Brown University,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: but they're refusing to provide the suspect's age, race, or motive,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: only stating the shooter yelled something quote unquote before the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: attack and that the weapon used has a unique characteristic
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: on it. So why would they not tell us that
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: it's got a Fox News channel. I'll give you another
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: perspective of what journalism sounds.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Like and called into police. I mean, the reality is
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: is that this is a seven story physics and engineering
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: building that was unlocked, but this individual went to a
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: specific classroom that was essentially in a study session for
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: an exam on economics and chose that classroom. And we
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: know from a witness inside that this gunman yelled something.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: We don't know what this individual yelled and then began shooting.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: We also know that this person reportedly used a handgun,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: so a lot of questions also as to whether or
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: not they recovered that handgun or what kind of ballistics
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: evidence may have led them for perhaps to this individual
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: as well. So we have more questions than answers other
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: than the fact that we know the lockdown has been lifted,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: and at least according to the mayor, this community can
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: breathe a sigh of relief, but hopefully we hope to
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: find out more than the coming hours.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: It's amazing Fox News has to report the news the
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: way that the police told it. That's what journalism is.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: They won't tell the journalists what was actually said. Now
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: what Democrats will do instead of telling you the motive
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: or what the man yelled. I'm going to guess had
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: something to do with Allah going to go out in
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: a limb here. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: to apologize. But Democrats don't want you to know what
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: he yelled. Instead, what they do want to do is
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: they want to tell you that somehow the Brown University
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: shooting is the fault of Donald Trump. Never let a
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: crisis go to way. Senator Chris Murphy said this Onstad
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: of the Union.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Not shocking because over the last year President Trump has
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons and people
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: who have lost their ability to buy guns. He eliminated
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: the White House Office of Gun Violence Protection, and he
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: has stopped funding mental health grants and community anti gun
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: violence grants that Republicans and Democrats supported in that twenty
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: twenty two bill. So he has been engaged in a
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: pretty deliberate campaign to try to make violence more likely
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: in this country. And I think you're unfortunately going to
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: see the results of that on the streets of America.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty big statement.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: He's in a campaign to make violence more likely, of.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Course, I mean he's knowingly restoring gun rights to dangerous people.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: He is cutting off grants that have bipartisan support try
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: to interrupt violence in our cities, or to try to
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: get necessary mental health resources to families and children in need.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: The evidence tells you that when you stop funding mental health,
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: when you stop funding community anti gun violence programs, when
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: you give gun rights back to dangerous people, you are
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: going to have and increase in violence that is knowable
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: and that is foreseeable.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: That is your Democratic Party. And if that's not enough,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I go back to gun violence. O. No, no, Now over
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: at CNN, John Miller, he's now wanting you to be
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: afraid of lasers. So that's the next thing they're going
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: to want to ban forget guns now, No, no, we
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: want to ban lasers on guns. Like a laser pointer
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: is what it is.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: Listen, at four o'clock in the morning, hit this hotel
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: room in Coventry and took this man into custody. What
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: we're told from law enforcement sources now is that they
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: seize two firearms from this twenty four year old suspect.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: One of those firearms, we are told was equipped with
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: a laser site device. This has significance because number one,
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: that's a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Where by the way, that's a lie. It is not
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the idea of this is a sophisticated device. That is
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: what like making blank up really is like pathological liar.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: People use these things to play with cats and make
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: videos on the internet, folks. That's how advanced they are. Okay, Like,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: if we're gonna if we're gonna listen to crazy people
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: say crazy things, then we should really just talk about
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: how stupid they are. That is how stupid this guy is.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: He is sitting there trying to convince you that a
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: product you can buy on Amazon that you use to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: play with cats is a quote very sophisticated thing. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: go back to what I was saying a moment ago.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: This is total insanity by the radical left who sit
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: there and they try to tell you. Every time some
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of this happens, don't ask the right question. No, no, no, no,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: ask a different one. What gun should we be getting
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: rid of today? Now it's red dots and lasers, because
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: we should get rid of those today.
• 16:55
