Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / FBI Alerted to Suspected Apalachee High School Shooter Over a Year Ago
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Never let a tragedy or a crisis go to waste.
- 0:05Speaker 1: And that seems to be the mantra at the White House,
- 0:08Speaker 1: wasting no time coming out and demanding more gun control
- 0:13Speaker 1: after a school shooting.
- 0:15Speaker 2: And I'm glad you said, you said another shot, because
- 0:19Speaker 2: we were able this president and as you talk about
- 0:25Speaker 2: the final couple of months of his administration, let's not
- 0:28Speaker 2: forget the three and a half years. And what the
- 0:30Speaker 2: president was able to do is pass a bipartisan piece
- 0:33Speaker 2: of legislation to deal with gun violence, and something that
- 0:37Speaker 2: we hadn't seen in decades, in thirty years, and this president,
- 0:41Speaker 2: this vice president was able to make that work and
- 0:44Speaker 2: make that come to fruition. Obviously, we need more, We
- 0:49Speaker 2: need more work to be done. It cannot stop at
- 0:52Speaker 2: that bipartisan legislation. We have to continue. We've got to
- 0:57Speaker 2: continue to find ways and to and their actions as
- 1:00Speaker 2: I talked about them, banning assault weapons, high capacity magazines,
- 1:04Speaker 2: making sure that we have universal background checks. These are
- 1:08Speaker 2: easy things to do. We believe Congressional Democrats are ready
- 1:13Speaker 2: to move. We have to have We can't do it
- 1:15Speaker 2: by ourselves. Congress can't do it by themselves. They need
- 1:18Speaker 2: Republicans to step in and also do this like they
- 1:22Speaker 2: did before, like they did before not too long ago,
- 1:25Speaker 2: to get this done. So this is personal to the President,
- 1:28Speaker 2: he says in his statement. This is personal to the
- 1:31Speaker 2: Vice president. This is personal to doctor Biden. This is
- 1:34Speaker 2: something that they want to see get done, and we
- 1:36Speaker 2: are going to do that. We have the first ever
- 1:39Speaker 2: office to prevent gun violence.
- 1:42Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And the reason why I played this first before I
- 1:46Speaker 1: gave you any of the details of what we do
- 1:48Speaker 1: know is that this is how fast they jumped and
- 1:53Speaker 1: the reason why they jumped so quickly is they don't
- 1:56Speaker 1: care about the facts. They don't care if all the
- 1:59Speaker 1: different things that she just proposed would have had no
- 2:01Speaker 1: impact on this shooting, which include the fact that the
- 2:06Speaker 1: FBI was alerted to this suspected now a Q school
- 2:12Speaker 1: shooter over a year ago.
- 2:15Speaker 3: And we're going to talk about that a little bit later.
- 2:18Speaker 3: And what is the FBI doing.
- 2:21Speaker 1: How is it they know about these shooters and yet
- 2:24Speaker 1: they're focused on, you know, going after Donald Trump. Kamala Harrick,
- 2:27Speaker 1: Harris's political opponent, I'll give you a great example. She says,
- 2:32Speaker 1: universal background checks would have no effect on this shooting.
- 2:36Speaker 1: How do we know that because the shooting suspect is
- 2:38Speaker 1: fourteen years old. That's what the initial information being released is.
- 2:45Speaker 1: We have no idea the type of weapon that has
- 2:47Speaker 1: been used at the point she had this press conference.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Why because it hadn't been put out there by anyone.
- 2:53Speaker 1: From what we understand. It's also amazing that she comes
- 2:58Speaker 1: out there and she says we need laws when there
- 3:01Speaker 1: were already a lot of gun laws that were already broken.
- 3:04Speaker 1: For example, under the age of eighteen, you're not allowed
- 3:08Speaker 1: to have this gun. That means that there would be
- 3:10Speaker 1: a theft of a weapon or not having the weapon lawfully.
- 3:15Speaker 1: That would be another law or two that have been broken.
- 3:20Speaker 1: The shooter also broke the law of carrying a gun
- 3:22Speaker 1: on school grounds.
- 3:24Speaker 3: That would be breaking the law. Again. He will be
- 3:27Speaker 3: charged with murder because there are dead bodies.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Unfortunately, of apparently his classmates were guessing based on his age,
- 3:35Speaker 1: or at least people his age. But again we don't
- 3:37Speaker 1: know the connections here yet, but there's going to be
- 3:42Speaker 1: charges of murder, so that would be another law that
- 3:45Speaker 1: was broken.
- 3:46Speaker 3: These are significant laws that were broken.
- 3:48Speaker 1: But what does the White House come out and say, oh, no,
- 3:51Speaker 1: we got us an opportunity here. Never let a crisis
- 3:53Speaker 1: go to waste. You know what we're gonna do. Here's
- 3:56Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're going to come out immediately
- 3:59Speaker 1: and call for all of these laws, right even though
- 4:02Speaker 1: it was illegal for this fourteen year old to have
- 4:04Speaker 1: a gun, even though it was illegal for him to
- 4:07Speaker 1: be on school grounds with a gun, even though it
- 4:09Speaker 1: was illegal for him to kill people, even though it
- 4:11Speaker 1: was illegal for him to have to steal the gun.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And we're going to come out with a long list
- 4:18Speaker 1: of other gun laws that have nothing to do and again,
- 4:22Speaker 1: would not have changed any of the facts on the
- 4:26Speaker 1: ground based on what we do know right now. This
- 4:30Speaker 1: is how much they're willing to move on an agenda
- 4:34Speaker 1: to disarm the American people and never let a tragedy
- 4:38Speaker 1: or crisis go to waste.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Right, That is what they have said.
- 4:42Speaker 1: I'm going to have more of those details for you
- 4:44Speaker 1: in a second, but first let me tell you about
- 4:46Speaker 1: my incredible friends over at ammo Squared. A lot of

- 6:47Speaker 3: Now let's get back to this story.
- 6:49Speaker 1: And Kamla Harris coming out immediately again not knowing anything
- 6:53Speaker 1: except that there are quote four dead, nine injured in
- 6:56Speaker 1: the Georgia school shooting, not knowing what the and I'm
- 7:01Speaker 1: giving you the numbers as the moment she said this,
- 7:04Speaker 1: and she goes out there, and what does she say.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Listen, Our hearts are with all the students, the teachers,
- 7:11Speaker 4: and their families, of course, and we are grateful to
- 7:14Speaker 4: the first responders and the law enforcement that we're on
- 7:16Speaker 4: the scene. But this is just a senseless tragedy on
- 7:20Speaker 4: top of so many senseless tragedies. And it's just outrageous
- 7:24Speaker 4: that every day in our country, in the United States
- 7:28Speaker 4: of America, that parents have to send their children to
- 7:32Speaker 4: school worried about whether or not their child will come
- 7:36Speaker 4: home alive. It's senseless, it is We've got to stop it,
- 7:41Speaker 4: and we have to end this epidemic of gun violence
- 7:45Speaker 4: in our country once and for all. You know, it
- 7:47Speaker 4: doesn't have to be this way.
- 7:50Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be this way.
- 7:53Speaker 4: So we will continue, of course, to send our prayers
- 7:56Speaker 4: and our thoughts to the families and all those who
- 8:00Speaker 4: were affected, including you know, I'm going off script right now,
- 8:04Speaker 4: but listen. I mean, you know, at the last year,
- 8:08Speaker 4: I started a college tour and I traveled our country
- 8:15Speaker 4: meeting with our young leaders, right and so it was
- 8:17Speaker 4: college aged young leaders. So I did trade schools, colleges, universities,
- 8:21Speaker 4: community colleges.
- 8:22Speaker 3: But I'll tell you one of my things.
- 8:23Speaker 4: One of the things that I asked every time I
- 8:26Speaker 4: went to the auditorium and be filled with these young
- 8:29Speaker 4: leaders students, and I'd ask them, raise your hand if
- 8:33Speaker 4: at any point between kindergarten and twelfth grade you had
- 8:36Speaker 4: to endure an active shooter drill and for the for
- 8:41Speaker 4: the young leaders who are here, who are raising your hand.
- 8:43Speaker 4: I'm telling you, every time the auditorium was packed and
- 8:46Speaker 4: almost every hand went up. You know a lot of us.
- 8:50Speaker 4: I'll talk speak about myself. You know, we had California
- 8:53Speaker 4: earthquake drills. We had fire drills. But our kids are
- 8:59Speaker 4: sitting in a room where they should be fulfilling their
- 9:03Speaker 4: God given potential, and some part of their big, beautiful
- 9:07Speaker 4: brain is concerned about a shooter busting through the door
- 9:11Speaker 4: of the classroom. It does not have to be this way.
- 9:18Speaker 3: It does not have to be this way.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Again, she says, we must have all of this new
- 9:25Speaker 1: gun control. She doesn't know any of the laws that
- 9:27Speaker 1: were broken. She doesn't know that it is already. I'll
- 9:33Speaker 1: go back to the background check issue. They always go
- 9:35Speaker 1: for that, right, They always go back to, well, we've
- 9:37Speaker 1: got to have universal this, universal that, universal this. And
- 9:40Speaker 1: I'm sitting there like a fourteen year old can't get
- 9:42Speaker 1: a background check, because a fourteen year old can't be
- 9:44Speaker 1: by a gun anyway, So why are you out there saying?
- 9:49Speaker 1: And I agree with her with the idea that it
- 9:53Speaker 1: would be nice if we lived in a world where
- 9:55Speaker 1: students didn't have to worry about this. I would love
- 9:59Speaker 1: to live in a world where I don't have to
- 10:01Speaker 1: worry that illegal immigrants are going to kill my kids
- 10:04Speaker 1: or my wife when they go to the grocery store
- 10:07Speaker 1: or get carjacked. I'd love to live in a world
- 10:09Speaker 1: where legal immigrants and gangs are not going to take
- 10:12Speaker 1: over apartment complexes.
- 10:14Speaker 3: But that's the world we live in.
- 10:16Speaker 1: I would love to live in a world where there's
- 10:18Speaker 1: never going to be a school shooting again. But as
- 10:21Speaker 1: long as we have a lack of values and broken
- 10:23Speaker 1: homes and no dads in the homes, you're gonna keep
- 10:25Speaker 1: getting this type of chaos. Because this is a problem
- 10:29Speaker 1: when you have look at the example that we're dealing
- 10:32Speaker 1: with right now, About seventy four percent of all African
- 10:36Speaker 1: American children in America are going to be born into
- 10:39Speaker 1: single parent households this year. You want to know why
- 10:42Speaker 1: there's so much crime and violence in the African American
- 10:46Speaker 1: communities that are tearing African American communities apart, it's because
- 10:50Speaker 1: there's no dad in the home, and who's become the father.
- 10:54Speaker 1: The government government sucks at raising children. I would love
- 11:00Speaker 1: for her, you know, her slogan is a new way forward,
- 11:03Speaker 1: Like I don't even know what that means anymore. I
- 11:06Speaker 1: would love it if parents did'd have to send their
- 11:07Speaker 1: kids to school worried about whether or not a child
- 11:09Speaker 1: will come home alive. And by the way, it doesn't
- 11:11Speaker 1: matter anymore if it's private school or public school.
- 11:14Speaker 3: We've seen the.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Private school shooting it for example, that happened in Nashville.
- 11:18Speaker 1: We live in a society today of lawlessness. But when
- 11:23Speaker 1: you come out with an agenda and you're not treating
- 11:28Speaker 1: the actual core problem as the White House just did,
- 11:31Speaker 1: as Kamala Harris just did, demanding all these laws that
- 11:33Speaker 1: would have had no bearing on this child going into
- 11:38Speaker 1: a school and shooting up a school. What I learned
- 11:41Speaker 1: from that moment is I can't trust you. I don't
- 11:46Speaker 1: trust you. I will never trust you because you're not
- 11:48Speaker 1: actually talking about saving kids' lives. You're actually talking about
- 11:53Speaker 1: pushing a radical agenda to disarm the American people that
- 11:56Speaker 1: would not have stopped this shooting. It's not just Kamala Harris,
- 12:00Speaker 1: by the way, that comes out right away or the
- 12:02Speaker 1: White House with Jean Pierre right away and starts demanding
- 12:06Speaker 1: that we change the laws in this country that would
- 12:08Speaker 1: have had no bearing on the shooting in Georgia.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Is I just proved very clearly. But it's also the media.
- 12:16Speaker 1: MSNBC, this is at two o'clock in the afternoon of
- 12:20Speaker 1: the shooting, have on their experts and this is what
- 12:23Speaker 1: one of their guests said, what is.
- 12:27Speaker 5: A pediatrician is the prospect of ever recovering from saying
- 12:32Speaker 5: that you cannot psychologically recover from that. We have no
- 12:38Speaker 5: idea the depths and the breadth of the damage we
- 12:41Speaker 5: are doing to an entire generation of Americans by making
- 12:45Speaker 5: them live through this nightmare scenario that we have created
- 12:49Speaker 5: through our nation's gun laws. And I think it's really
- 12:51Speaker 5: important to remember what Donald Trump recently said to families
- 12:55Speaker 5: of school shooting victims.
- 12:57Speaker 3: He told them to get over it. He does not care.
- 13:00Speaker 5: He bragged that he did nothing on guns during his
- 13:03Speaker 5: first term.
- 13:04Speaker 1: By the way, that's not true. Donald Trump did not
- 13:07Speaker 1: say that. But can we just pause here for a
- 13:11Speaker 1: second and notice how psychotic this quote pediatrician is. They
- 13:19Speaker 1: pull on a pediatrician, right, that's supposed to be you
- 13:22Speaker 1: would think non political.
- 13:24Speaker 3: They didn't pull on a pediatrician.
- 13:26Speaker 1: They pulled on a radical leftist who hates Donald Trump
- 13:29Speaker 1: to attack Donald Trump as being a pediatrician. They had
- 13:34Speaker 1: this locked and loaded ready to go for the next
- 13:38Speaker 1: school shooting, to immediately jump on it.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Call her. We'll have her on the next time.
- 13:44Speaker 1: We need somebody who's a doctor to attack Donald Trump
- 13:48Speaker 1: and say something that, by the way, is not accurate
- 13:50Speaker 1: and not true and not what Donald Trump said. And
- 13:53Speaker 1: then she says, we're doing it rapiable harm to these kids.
- 13:56Speaker 1: We have no idea the depths of the damage that's
- 13:59Speaker 1: being done to the entire higher generation of Americans by
- 14:01Speaker 1: making them live through this nightmare scenario. Okay, we put
- 14:05Speaker 1: this on TV every day. You guys in Hollywood put
- 14:09Speaker 1: it in movies every day. You guys in Hollywood make
- 14:12Speaker 1: video games that are unbelievably graphic where you can blow
- 14:16Speaker 1: the heads off of people, and they're the most popular
- 14:19Speaker 1: games out there. If you're gonna be a doctor and
- 14:23Speaker 1: a pediatrician, you're gonna warn about disynthesizing kids to the
- 14:26Speaker 1: idea of even being able to do a school shooting.
- 14:28Speaker 3: We're going to talk about that.
- 14:31Speaker 1: And if you want to talk about stopping events like this,
- 14:35Speaker 1: how about we go to this fact Appalachi High school
- 14:40Speaker 1: received a phone call this morning that warned about shootings.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Officials are now confirming the high school at the center
- 14:48Speaker 1: of today's mass shooting in Georgia. This is coming from
- 14:50Speaker 1: CNN received an earlier phone call threat Multiple law enforcement
- 14:55Speaker 1: officials are telling CNN. Law for enforcement officials in Georgia
- 14:59Speaker 1: say that the high school received a call this morning
- 15:02Speaker 1: warning that there would be a shooting at five at
- 15:05Speaker 1: schools and that this school would be first. So why
- 15:11Speaker 1: not have a segment on that that Hey, this morning,
- 15:17Speaker 1: I'm glad you guys going Georgia received a phone call
- 15:20Speaker 1: that weren't about a potential shooting and they did nothing.
- 15:24Speaker 3: At least four people have been.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Pronounced dead, dozens are injured, and a suspect is in custody.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Who let this happen? The adults in the room, the
- 15:34Speaker 1: people who are in charge of the school got a
- 15:37Speaker 1: phone call saying that your school is gonna get shut
- 15:40Speaker 1: up in You're one of four, and they did nothing.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Different based on the reporting we're hearing from CNN, So
- 15:46Speaker 1: what is it again? But it doesn't matter, because if
- 15:49Speaker 1: you're pushing a narrative to disarm the American people, you
- 15:53Speaker 1: push for law as using a tragedy, going back to
- 15:55Speaker 1: the Obama to the years. Never let a tragedy go
- 15:57Speaker 1: to waste, Never let a crisis go to waste. Right,
- 16:00Speaker 1: that is the theme. And you bring on this psycho
- 16:05Speaker 1: who you say is a is a a pediatrician and
- 16:09Speaker 1: then she attacks Trump for you to push your narrative.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Keep listening to this woman.
- 16:15Speaker 6: So this is just.
- 16:16Speaker 5: One of the critical issues that is on the ballot
- 16:18Speaker 5: in November. And if the stories you're hearing and the
- 16:21Speaker 5: images that you're seeing are breaking your heart today, I
- 16:24Speaker 5: beg you to consider that when you vote. And we
- 16:27Speaker 5: need to be voting for gun sence champions like Kamala Harrison,
- 16:30Speaker 5: Tim Walls, who understand, who recognize that our children are
- 16:34Speaker 5: more valuable than the NRA and the gun industry.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Wow, it's a campaign pitch right there. You just heard it.
- 16:43Speaker 1: We found a pediatrician, We got her locked and loaded.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Next time there's school shooting, we'll have her on. We'll
- 16:49Speaker 1: have her attack as a pediatrician Donald Trump, and then
- 16:51Speaker 1: we'll turn it into a campaign rally. Cry as we
- 16:54Speaker 1: don't even know how many people are dead, and kids
- 16:56Speaker 1: are in surgery and people are fighting for their lives
- 16:58Speaker 1: right now and we will tell people that you must
- 17:01Speaker 1: vote for Harrison Wilson. Somehow the same people that are
- 17:05Speaker 1: in charge right now that allowed this to happen. If
- 17:08Speaker 1: you're using that logic, are the people you must vote
- 17:12Speaker 1: for so that it can, I guess happen again down
- 17:14Speaker 1: the road.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Because remember they are.
- 17:16Speaker 1: In charge right now. Kamala Harrison, Joe Biden are in charge.
- 17:20Speaker 1: So when she says you must vote for them to
- 17:23Speaker 1: make sure this hasn't happened, well, you could use the argument,
- 17:27Speaker 1: hold on a second, America already did and this shooting
- 17:31Speaker 1: just happened. And are you not going to talk about
- 17:34Speaker 1: the damaged under these kids? Because the people, the adults
- 17:38Speaker 1: in the room, to use one of their favorite lines,
- 17:42Speaker 1: the adults in the room got a damn phone call
- 17:46Speaker 1: that there was going to be a school shooting and
- 17:48Speaker 1: they did nothing. Well, but hey, come on, we got
- 17:54Speaker 1: to push for quote gun sence champions like Kamala Harrison,
- 17:58Speaker 1: Tim Waltz that recognize our children are more valuable than
- 18:01Speaker 1: the n are in the gun industry.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Well, then why didn't they stop the shooting?
- 18:04Speaker 1: They're in charge, that they are in charge, They are
- 18:09Speaker 1: in charge. Georgia officials come out and again I go
- 18:13Speaker 1: back to the lies being told here. The Georgia officials
- 18:18Speaker 1: come out update the American people on what has happened
- 18:23Speaker 1: there in Georgia, and they tell us that is the
- 18:26Speaker 1: officials revealed that it's a fourteen year old shooter.
- 18:30Speaker 3: Fourteen year old.
- 18:31Speaker 1: So this idea that all of these gun laws, the
- 18:34Speaker 1: White House pushed for it for the new any of
- 18:35Speaker 1: the details that MSNBC and seen and just pushed for
- 18:38Speaker 1: without any details that Kama Harris pushed for and Tim
- 18:41Speaker 1: Walltz push for today without any details would have had
- 18:44Speaker 1: no bearing on this shooting at all. So why are
- 18:48Speaker 1: they still pushing it right now? Because they want to
- 18:49Speaker 1: disarm the American people, and they're willing to use dead
- 18:53Speaker 1: kids to push their radical agenda. A fourteen year old
- 18:57Speaker 1: cannot go out and buy any gun. A fourteen year
- 19:00Speaker 1: old cannot even get a background check. So this idea,
- 19:05Speaker 1: it's a background check problem, it's a gun problem, it's
- 19:08Speaker 1: a certain type of gun, and we got to ban
- 19:10Speaker 1: this gun. And then all it's a fourteen year old.
- 19:14Speaker 1: The number of laws that he just broke are probably
- 19:16Speaker 1: in close to one hundred and we.
- 19:19Speaker 6: Wanted to come back this afternoon and present you with
- 19:23Speaker 6: a little more of a timeline of the events that
- 19:26Speaker 6: have taken place here today and what we know up
- 19:29Speaker 6: to this point with the investigation. At approximately ten twenty
- 19:34Speaker 6: am this morning, the Barrick County Sheriff's Office received alerts
- 19:39Speaker 6: about reports of an active shooter and radio traffic from
- 19:43Speaker 6: school resource officers concerning the same concern or having the
- 19:47Speaker 6: same concern. Within minutes, law enforcement was on scene as
- 19:53Speaker 6: well as two school resource officers assigned here to the
- 19:55Speaker 6: school who immediately encountered the subject with just of this
- 20:00Speaker 6: report going out. Once they encountered the subject, the subject
- 20:05Speaker 6: immediately surrendered to these officers and he was taken into custody. Additionally,
- 20:11Speaker 6: what I want you to know as of now, there
- 20:13Speaker 6: are four individuals who are deceased from this incident, nine
- 20:19Speaker 6: that have been taken to local hospitals with various injuries.
- 20:23Speaker 6: Of those that are deceased, two are students and two
- 20:27Speaker 6: are teachers here at the school. The priority right now
- 20:32Speaker 6: for us within this investigation is to gather all the
- 20:36Speaker 6: facts to make sure that we're accurate with it, because
- 20:39Speaker 6: this is a murder investigation. As the sheriff mentioned earlier
- 20:43Speaker 6: this morning, the shooter is in custody. His name is
- 20:47Speaker 6: Colt That Colt Gray. He is a fourteen year old
- 20:52Speaker 6: student here at the school Gry. He is a fourteen
- 20:57Speaker 6: year old student here at the high school. Again. He
- 21:01Speaker 6: has been taken into custody. He will be charged with
- 21:05Speaker 6: murder and he will be tried as an adult and
- 21:08Speaker 6: handled as an adult.
- 21:11Speaker 1: So we're trying him as an adult, a fourteen year old.
- 21:17Speaker 1: So the question that I would hope that any responsible
- 21:20Speaker 1: journalist will be asking is, Hey, why did adults have
- 21:23Speaker 1: got a phone call about a mass shooting that was
- 21:26Speaker 1: going to take place at this school and others? Why
- 21:29Speaker 1: didn't they do anything? I think that's a pretty good
- 21:34Speaker 1: place to start. Why did you do nothing? As many
- 21:40Speaker 1: of you know, I'm a staunch advocate for the Second
- 21:42Speaker 1: Amendment and I will never shy away from that. And
- 21:46Speaker 1: it is a good guy with a gun that stopped
- 21:49Speaker 1: this school shooter. And I'm proud to say that I
- 21:51Speaker 1: will support the Second Amendment and our right to protect
- 21:55Speaker 1: and offend our families. I also want to tell you
- 21:58Speaker 1: about bond Arms. Bond Arms makes the smallest, most powerful,
- 22:03Speaker 1: best built personal protection that you can carry. These unique

- 23:07Speaker 1: and your family. All right now, I want to pivot
- 23:10Speaker 1: to the other part of the story. And I mentioned
- 23:12Speaker 1: this earlier, and it's the question that we have to ask,
- 23:16Speaker 1: and we're asking this question way too often. How is
- 23:20Speaker 1: it that we spend hundreds of billions of dollars on
- 23:26Speaker 1: domestic security and domestic security surveillance. For goodness sakes, we
- 23:32Speaker 1: give up a lot of our freedoms for what is
- 23:35Speaker 1: being described us as you know, protection, and yet time
- 23:40Speaker 1: and time again now we are seeing that those that
- 23:43Speaker 1: are supposed to be protecting us are asleep at the wheel.
- 23:45Speaker 1: A great example of this is the terrorists coming across
- 23:48Speaker 1: the border on it. Right now, we know we have
- 23:50Speaker 1: a wide open border, we have billions of dollars that
- 23:52Speaker 1: are supposed to be used to protect us, and we
- 23:54Speaker 1: have terrorists come in across the southern border right now.
- 23:56Speaker 1: When there's a terrrist attack, I hope there's not one,
- 24:01Speaker 1: but when there is one based on the wide open
- 24:04Speaker 1: southern border, it's a matter of time. We're on a stopwatch.
- 24:06Speaker 1: We're on a ticking time bomb. We're gonna end up
- 24:09Speaker 1: finding out that the people that did the tarists attack
- 24:12Speaker 1: are going to more than likely have come across the
- 24:13Speaker 1: southern border. We already can predict it because we know
- 24:16Speaker 1: how many have come across on the tariffs watch list
- 24:18Speaker 1: that we've caught already. I say that to then tell
- 24:23Speaker 1: you this part of the story. It has been confirmed
- 24:27Speaker 1: now that the FBI was alerted to the suspected high
- 24:31Speaker 1: school shooter over a year ago. The FBI was May
- 24:35Speaker 1: aware of the suspected school shooter in twenty twenty three,
- 24:38Speaker 1: during the course of investigating the source.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Of online threats.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Fox ten reported that the FBI, in a joint statement
- 24:47Speaker 1: with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, revealed Gray was on
- 24:51Speaker 1: law enforcements radar more than a year before Wednesday's school shooting,
- 24:55Speaker 1: and the Atlanta Journal Constitution also said this. In May
- 24:58Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, the FBI's National Threat Operations Center received
- 25:03Speaker 1: several anonymous tips about online threats to.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Commit a school shooting.
- 25:08Speaker 1: The tips, after they investigated, then led to a thirteen
- 25:12Speaker 1: year old by the name of Colt Gray, who was
- 25:16Speaker 1: interviewed by law enforcement and who denied making the threats.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Well, of course they would.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Deny making He would deny making the threats because the
- 25:26Speaker 1: FBI is interviewing you.
- 25:27Speaker 3: That doesn't mean that he didn't actually do it.
- 25:30Speaker 1: FBI Atlanta has now put out this statement on x
- 25:35Speaker 1: FBI Atlanta responded earlier today to the high school shooting.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Following reports of an active shooter throughout the day. FBI
- 25:43Speaker 1: personnel have been coordinating with and supporting local and state
- 25:46Speaker 1: law enforcement. The FBI will dedicate all available resources as
- 25:50Speaker 1: requested to seek justice and bring closure for the victims
- 25:54Speaker 1: and their families. In May twenty twenty three, the FBI's
- 25:58Speaker 1: National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about online
- 26:02Speaker 1: threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location
- 26:06Speaker 1: in time. The online threats contained photographs of guns. Within
- 26:10Speaker 1: twenty four hours, the FBI determined the online online posts
- 26:13Speaker 1: originated in Georgia, and the FBI's Atlanta Field Office referred
- 26:18Speaker 1: the information the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for action. The
- 26:22Speaker 1: Jackson County Sheriff's Office located a possible subject, a thirteen
- 26:26Speaker 1: year old mail and interviewed him and his father. The
- 26:29Speaker 1: father stated that he had been that he had hunting
- 26:31Speaker 1: guns in the house, but the subject did not have
- 26:35Speaker 1: unsupervised access to them. The subject denied making the threats online.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Jackson County alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject.
- 26:48Speaker 1: At that time, there was no probable cause for arrests
- 26:51Speaker 1: or to take any additional law enforcement action on the local, state,
- 26:54Speaker 1: or federal levels. All right, So you add that in
- 27:00Speaker 1: with a kid that you know is on your radar
- 27:01Speaker 1: screen that's been alerted by the school. And then apparently
- 27:04Speaker 1: we're being told that the school got anonymous threats today
- 27:10Speaker 1: on the day of the shooting, and they didn't shut
- 27:12Speaker 1: down school, They didn't go fine to see if the
- 27:15Speaker 1: kid was in class, They didn't check to say, hey,
- 27:18Speaker 1: we had this kid and he's been alerted by the FBI,
- 27:20Speaker 1: local law enforcement, Like, where are the adults that are
- 27:24Speaker 1: in charge? Where are the adults Gray's father, who was
- 27:30Speaker 1: interviewed as well, And the father stated he had hunting
- 27:34Speaker 1: guns in the house, but that the kid did not
- 27:37Speaker 1: have unsupervised access to them. Gray was monitored after being interviewed,
- 27:42Speaker 1: but there was no problem cause for rest Or to
- 27:45Speaker 1: take any additional action. Well, okay, so if he's being
- 27:48Speaker 1: monitored and you know he's the guy, and you track
- 27:52Speaker 1: the threats back to him, and you've got a threat
- 27:55Speaker 1: that comes in today, shouldn't this kid be the top
- 27:58Speaker 1: kid at the list going hey is this kid in school? Hey,
- 28:01Speaker 1: maybe we should go talk to this kid, and hey,
- 28:03Speaker 1: there's threats that came in. This might be a good
- 28:05Speaker 1: place to start. Like the Georgia Bureau of Investigations confirmed
- 28:10Speaker 1: that the fourteen year old Colt Gray was under rest
- 28:12Speaker 1: charged in the murder of two students and two teachers
- 28:16Speaker 1: at the high school, and he made threats online a
- 28:20Speaker 1: year ago, and you had a threat come in this morning,
- 28:24Speaker 1: the morning of the shooting, and you can't connect those dots.
- 28:30Speaker 1: What bothers me about the FBI being alerted to the
- 28:33Speaker 1: suspected high school shooter over a year ago is the
- 28:36Speaker 1: fact that maybe if they weren't so focused on going
- 28:39Speaker 1: after the political enemies of Biden Harris or covering up
- 28:43Speaker 1: for the crimes of Joe Biden and the Biden crime
- 28:45Speaker 1: family are spending so much damn time meeting with big
- 28:48Speaker 1: tech like they were with the Twitter files and with Facebook,
- 28:52Speaker 1: if they weren't going out there trying to suppress political information,
- 28:56Speaker 1: maybe just maybe, maybe just maybe they could actually get
- 29:02Speaker 1: some of these things right. That's the part that irritates
- 29:06Speaker 1: me the most. You have these people that aren't serious people.
- 29:13Speaker 1: You have these people that are not serious that are
- 29:18Speaker 1: running these organizations, and they're not serious people because if
- 29:23Speaker 1: they were, they wouldn't be going after their political opponents,
- 29:26Speaker 1: and they wouldn't be having weekly meetings and sending emails
- 29:29Speaker 1: to Facebook and Twitter and other online organizations trying to
- 29:33Speaker 1: silence and censor people. But that's what they're doing because
- 29:38Speaker 1: we have politicized law enforcement. Now, we have politicized it
- 29:43Speaker 1: at a level that I think most people can't even comprehend.
- 29:48Speaker 1: And it is absolutely costing people their lives. It has
- 29:54Speaker 1: cost the lives of two children and two teachers. It
- 29:58Speaker 1: is going to change the lives those families forever. You
- 30:03Speaker 1: want to talk about the real issue we should talk
- 30:05Speaker 1: about here, let's go back to twenty twenty, as Kamala
- 30:09Speaker 1: Harris has come out today talking about we need to
- 30:12Speaker 1: get the guns, and I played it off for you earlier.
- 30:15Speaker 1: You want to know who got this kid to stop
- 30:18Speaker 1: killing people. It was a resource officer. There was a hero.
- 30:22Speaker 1: There was a good guy with a gun that stopped
- 30:24Speaker 1: a bad guy with a gun and stopped the carnage
- 30:28Speaker 1: and more people from being killed. You want to know
- 30:31Speaker 1: what Kamala Harris said during the twenty twenty presidential campaign.
- 30:36Speaker 1: She said this at Benedict College at a presidential justice forum.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Listen carefully, because this is what you're going to get
- 30:45Speaker 1: if Kamala Harris is elected.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Being incarcerated for a couple of days is traumatic, much
- 30:50Speaker 4: less the weeks, months, and years that we're seeing that happen.
- 30:53Speaker 4: And so part of my plan is also a reduction
- 30:55Speaker 4: of that. And then also again what we need to
- 30:59Speaker 4: do about taking demilitarizing our schools and taking police officers
- 31:05Speaker 4: out of schools. We need to deal with the reality
- 31:10Speaker 4: and speak the truth about the inequities around school discipline.
- 31:16Speaker 1: We're in particular, did you hear that being incarcerated for
- 31:22Speaker 1: a couple of days is traumatic? This has defund the police,
- 31:25Speaker 1: This has let out all the criminals out of jail.
- 31:27Speaker 1: And then she says this, we need to demilitarize our schools.
- 31:31Speaker 1: So if Kamala Harris had her way, we wouldn't have
- 31:34Speaker 1: had a resource officer at this school that was able
- 31:36Speaker 1: to take this shooter. I don't say out because he
- 31:41Speaker 1: didn't shoot him, but he laid down, he stopped shooting,
- 31:45Speaker 1: he put his gun down, and we were able to
- 31:46Speaker 1: arrest him and stop the carnage. If Kamala Harris had
- 31:50Speaker 1: her way, And this is what she said back in
- 31:53Speaker 1: twenty twenty at this Presidential Justice Forum at Benedict College,
- 31:57Speaker 1: she said, we need to demilitarize our schools and take
- 32:00Speaker 1: police officers out of school, so she knows what she
- 32:02Speaker 1: means when she says this. It's very clear she knows
- 32:05Speaker 1: what she means when she says it. Believe them when
- 32:09Speaker 1: they tell you that this is what they are going
- 32:12Speaker 1: to do. Believe them when they tell you this is
- 32:16Speaker 1: what they believe in. Believe them when they tell you
- 32:19Speaker 1: they want to take away your guns and they want
- 32:21Speaker 1: to take away police and they aren't going to protect
- 32:24Speaker 1: your kids. Believe them. They're not lying to you, They're
- 32:29Speaker 1: telling you the truth. This is what they believe in.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast please with everyone wherever
- 32:37Speaker 1: you are in social media. We will keep exposing them
- 32:40Speaker 1: for who they are, and we'll see you back here
- 32:42Speaker 1: tomorrow
