Father-Son Duo Behind Hanukkah Celebration Attack in Sydney Terror Shooting · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: More attacks by terrorists and shocking moves in the US
0:05
Speaker 1: and also in Australia. Radicalized individuals connected to terrorist organizations
0:14
Speaker 1: in Australia decided they were going to kill people for
0:19
Speaker 1: one reason, because they were Jewish. We know a lot
0:25
Speaker 1: more now about this attack. We know that the terrorist
0:30
Speaker 1: target of the Jews at Body Beach for one reason
0:34
Speaker 1: because they're Jewish. We now know the death toll has risen.
0:38
Speaker 1: At the moment I am recording this to sixteen that
0:41
Speaker 1: have died, twenty nine that were injured, children and a
0:47
Speaker 1: rabbi were killed. They were also IEDs were being told
0:52
Speaker 1: found near the scene, and there was a hero that
0:56
Speaker 1: disarmed at jihadis without a weapon. We also are being
1:00
Speaker 1: told that a father and son are apparently the suspects.
1:05
Speaker 1: This is what happens when you allow people to come
1:08
Speaker 1: into your country unvetted, When you allow people to come
1:11
Speaker 1: into your country that actually hate your country, that hate freedom,
1:16
Speaker 1: that hate free speech, that hate the ability for others
1:21
Speaker 1: to disagree with them. This is what happens when you
1:24
Speaker 1: allow people to come into your country. They believe in
1:28
Speaker 1: Sharia law, and that believe that anyone that doesn't agree
1:32
Speaker 1: with them religiously is an Infidel. That's how you get
1:37
Speaker 1: twelve people, including one terrorist, that were killed in what
1:40
Speaker 1: has been designated tear attack at Sydney's Body Beach on
1:44
Speaker 1: Sunday evening. An additional twenty nine people were injured and
1:48
Speaker 1: a second tear guman was arrested after the local Jewish
1:51
Speaker 1: community was directly targeted. According to the latest coming out
1:55
Speaker 1: of Australia, this area by the sea had about one
2:00
Speaker 1: thousand people at an event was scheduled to take place
2:04
Speaker 1: near a children's playground from five pm on and have
2:07
Speaker 1: begun when the attack began at the iconic beach location.
2:11
Speaker 1: What we now know is that this is truly just shocking.
2:16
Speaker 1: The state Premier Chris Mens confirmed twelve individuals killed the attack.
2:22
Speaker 1: One offender has also been killed and another is in custody.
2:26
Speaker 1: He says the attack was designated to target Sydney's Jewish community.
2:32
Speaker 1: That was very clear. What should have been a night
2:35
Speaker 1: of peace and joy was shattered by a horrifying evil attack.
2:38
Speaker 1: He added there were well over one thousand people in
2:41
Speaker 1: attendance tonight is what the police commissioner said. They were
2:45
Speaker 1: doing one thing, celebrating a Jewish holiday. Two State Police
2:50
Speaker 1: officers were also among those shot. ABC News is reporting Now.
2:55
Speaker 1: It was also confirmed late on Sunday evening that a
2:58
Speaker 1: number of suspicious items had been found near the bridge
3:01
Speaker 1: where the gunmen fired their rounds, including an improvise explosive
3:04
Speaker 1: device and ied. The ID was removed by a bomb
3:08
Speaker 1: squad specialists driven away in an armored car, The Daily
3:11
Speaker 1: Mail is now reporting and as events unfolded around nine
3:15
Speaker 1: pm local time there, police called it what they described
3:19
Speaker 1: a developing incident, urging people to avoid the area altogether,
3:22
Speaker 1: saying quote, anyone at the scene should take shelter. Police
3:26
Speaker 1: are on the scene and more information will be provided
3:29
Speaker 1: when it comes to hand, also saying we are still
3:32
Speaker 1: asking people in the area to take shelter until we
3:35
Speaker 1: can determine what is happening. Multiple patients were treated at
3:39
Speaker 1: the scene and were transported to hospitals in the immediate
3:42
Speaker 1: vicinity of Australia's biggest city, known as Sydney. News dot
3:47
Speaker 1: Com Australia reports one of the targeted victims has since
3:52
Speaker 1: been named as Rabbi Eli. Just hours before the event,
3:57
Speaker 1: the rabbi was reportedly posting about the gathering to its
4:00
Speaker 1: Facebook page. Book Book book for your free donut, he wrote.
4:05
Speaker 1: Another friend posted about the rabbi's death, saying quote, he
4:08
Speaker 1: was just doing his job, showing up being the constant,
4:11
Speaker 1: relatable presence for his community. This is about my friend
4:15
Speaker 1: who is gone. It hurts. It's confusing. You also have
4:21
Speaker 1: what comes out from these stories, and that is the heroes.
4:25
Speaker 1: A heroic bystander and I put this up on my
4:28
Speaker 1: social media. You can follow it and see the video
4:31
Speaker 1: on x and on Instagram. Ben Ferguson podcast on Instagram.
4:37
Speaker 1: The heroic bystander, unarmed, tackled and disarmed a terrorist gunman
4:42
Speaker 1: at Bondi Beach. The bystanderd showed complete disregard for his
4:46
Speaker 1: own safety. He literally ran towards danger, not away from it.
4:51
Speaker 1: He tackled one of the two terrorist gummen during that
4:53
Speaker 1: mass shooting Sunday in which so many were murdered and
4:56
Speaker 1: so many more were shot. Video of the scene shows
5:00
Speaker 1: gum and standing on a footpath between a grassy area
5:02
Speaker 1: and parking lot, holding a shotgun and firing randomly into
5:06
Speaker 1: the distance of the Jewish holiday event. The bystander, who
5:09
Speaker 1: is crouching unarmed behind a parked car, rushed towards the
5:13
Speaker 1: shooter As he fires, he leaps on to the terrace
5:17
Speaker 1: and wrestles a shotgun from his hand before the frightened,
5:19
Speaker 1: disarmed man tries his camera away. The video shows a
5:23
Speaker 1: terrorists meekly falling to the ground as the hero points
5:26
Speaker 1: a shotgun at him as the gunman backs away. The
5:30
Speaker 1: bystander then gently plays the shotgun against a tree and
5:32
Speaker 1: pushes puts his hands in the air. Australian authorities declared
5:37
Speaker 1: the incident a terrorist attack. At least twelve people were
5:40
Speaker 1: killed in the assault at the celebration, including one of
5:45
Speaker 1: the shooters, and as I mentioned before, at least twenty
5:48
Speaker 1: nine were injured. The good news is at least authorities
5:54
Speaker 1: are declaring and being honest about what this was, a
5:58
Speaker 1: terrorist attack to reality of fear that many Australian Jews
6:02
Speaker 1: say they have been living with that they are no
6:04
Speaker 1: longer safe in the country that was supposed to protect them.
6:08
Speaker 1: The President called the shooting quote a very cruel attack
6:12
Speaker 1: on Jews who went to light the first candle of
6:15
Speaker 1: Hanukkah on Bondi Beach in a speech at an event
6:19
Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. We also now know that he called on
6:23
Speaker 1: Australia to fight against the enormous wave of anti Semitism
6:28
Speaker 1: which is plaguing Australia society quote unquote in Australia, some
6:33
Speaker 1: lawmakers were quick to both condemn the attack and warn
6:36
Speaker 1: of what the future holds. One of their sentators there,
6:40
Speaker 1: the founder and Leader of One Nation, led the way, saying,
6:44
Speaker 1: quote today is an extremely dark day for our nation,
6:49
Speaker 1: particularly the Australian Jewish community, which appears to be the
6:55
Speaker 1: target of this terrorist attack. The Prime Minister never heeded
6:59
Speaker 1: the warning signs, including the weekly anti Semitic protests across
7:03
Speaker 1: our nation. Hate speech from certain religious clerics are obnoxious,
7:09
Speaker 1: universities and probabletarists alert. I stand with Australia's Jewish community,
7:16
Speaker 1: who tonight deserve our absolute solts. You have the same
7:20
Speaker 1: right to live in peace and harmony as all Australians.
7:24
Speaker 1: Authorities must be honest when revealing the identities and backgrounds
7:28
Speaker 1: of these murderers. I could not agree more about exactly
7:34
Speaker 1: what I read there from Senator Pauline Hansen. You put
7:38
Speaker 1: all this in perspective and I just got to be
7:42
Speaker 1: honest with you. This was something that was clearly avoidable.
7:47
Speaker 1: This is something that this Prime Minister as it was
7:50
Speaker 1: described perfectly, had been warned about, and what happened political
7:55
Speaker 1: correctness has now cost the lives of countless individuals, and
7:59
Speaker 1: that is the status part of all. More after this,
8:04
Speaker 1: before we get to the other tragic event that happened
8:08
Speaker 1: over the weekend at Brown University, I do want to
8:11
Speaker 1: just pause and take a moment for you to understand
8:14
Speaker 1: exactly what Democrats are now doing after the shooting that
8:18
Speaker 1: happened at Brown and also what just happened in Australia.
8:23
Speaker 1: Senator Cassidy was on Say the Union on CNN. He
8:28
Speaker 1: was asked about the two killed and the nine injured
8:30
Speaker 1: in the Brown University shooting, and I want you to
8:33
Speaker 1: listen carefully to what he had to say about gun
8:36
Speaker 1: violence in this country and also around the world, and
8:40
Speaker 1: how democrats immediately go to not blaming the person or
8:45
Speaker 1: the policy that allowed people into Australia or into this country.
8:48
Speaker 1: Instead they do one thing, They blame the gun. Always
8:53
Speaker 1: take a listen to this.
8:54
Speaker 2: I think targeting students this time at Brown University. Here
8:57
Speaker 2: with me now is Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana,
9:01
Speaker 2: also the chair of the Senate Health Committee. Thank you
9:04
Speaker 2: so much for being here, sir. I do want to
9:06
Speaker 2: get your reaction to this tragic shooting in Providence.
9:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't it awful as a parent, as a grandfather,
9:16
Speaker 3: the fact that you would send your child off to school,
9:18
Speaker 3: they're in their finals, you're saying a prayer for their grades,
9:22
Speaker 3: and it turns out there's a shooting and you're saying
9:24
Speaker 3: a prayer for their health and safety, and sometimes am memoriam.
9:30
Speaker 3: So we have to learn more, Donna. As you know,
9:32
Speaker 3: we don't know anything about it yet except a man
9:34
Speaker 3: in his thirties apparently entered presumably not a student at
9:38
Speaker 3: that age. We don't know for sure. But again, everybody
9:42
Speaker 3: in spirit be with those parents, those grandparents, those students.
9:47
Speaker 2: Senator, I want you to listen to something that Brown
9:50
Speaker 2: University's sophomore Zoe Weisman told my colleague Jim Shudo. She
9:55
Speaker 2: said that she's now because she's there, lived through her
9:59
Speaker 2: second school shooting, because she grew up in Florida and
10:03
Speaker 2: witnessed the twenty eighteen shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High
10:07
Speaker 2: School in Parkland. Listen to what she said.
10:11
Speaker 3: I think that we've seen time and time again, Congress.
10:14
Speaker 4: Is failed to show that they actually care about their constituents,
10:17
Speaker 4: and if they did, it would immediately beast comprehensive and
10:20
Speaker 4: violence correction.
10:22
Speaker 2: Senator, what do you say to Zoe?
10:26
Speaker 3: I would say that after the shooting in Texas and Nevaldi,
10:29
Speaker 3: Congress passed a Safer Communities Act on a bipartisan basis
10:34
Speaker 3: that created many things that would address all the issues
10:37
Speaker 3: of which she speaks. Now, if she's going to say,
10:40
Speaker 3: wait a second, we need gun control laws, there is
10:42
Speaker 3: the also shooting we just occurred in Australia in which
10:46
Speaker 3: there are gun control laws, and yet this still occurred. Again,
10:50
Speaker 3: we don't know the facts of this, but in the
10:52
Speaker 3: Avaldi shooting, we addressed not just mental illness, but also
10:57
Speaker 3: background checks, also the girl friend loophole, other things that
11:04
Speaker 3: would attempt to address this. And I would argue that
11:07
Speaker 3: if the facts are known, you will see the Congress
11:09
Speaker 3: has acted.
11:11
Speaker 2: Senator Murphy was just on here, and I know you
11:14
Speaker 2: voted for that legislation that you just let me just.
11:17
Speaker 1: Hit pause here. You notice how fast they go to
11:20
Speaker 1: push their agenda, their political agenda. That political agenda is
11:26
Speaker 1: there's a shooting, and immediately we scream we must have
11:29
Speaker 1: gun control. Right, everything is about gun control. We don't
11:36
Speaker 1: care about the facts, we don't care about what guns
11:38
Speaker 1: were used, we don't care about anything, just gun control.
11:44
Speaker 1: I look at this and it is incredibly frustrating. Democrats
11:52
Speaker 1: have also gone to another low. They're now actually blaming
11:58
Speaker 1: Donald Trump for the shooting at Brown University. You had
12:03
Speaker 1: Democratic Senator Chris Murphy going on CNN State of the
12:08
Speaker 1: Union and said the Brown University shooting was a result
12:11
Speaker 1: to President Donald Trump's dizzying campaign to increase violence in
12:17
Speaker 1: this country. Murphy said, if you look at states like Connecticut,
12:21
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California that have, as he described it,
12:25
Speaker 1: stronger laws, we have gun violence rates, murder rates, mass
12:30
Speaker 1: shooting rates that are two to three four times lower
12:34
Speaker 1: than states that have loose gun laws. And many of
12:36
Speaker 1: the weapons that are used in our states for gun
12:39
Speaker 1: crimes come from our states, from those states that have
12:42
Speaker 1: the ability for criminals and people with serious mental illness
12:45
Speaker 1: to buy weapons. By the way, that's just a flat
12:48
Speaker 1: out lie. He went on to say, So, what we
12:52
Speaker 1: know is that stronger laws do work. Since we passed
12:55
Speaker 1: the bill in twenty twenty two, the first bill in
12:58
Speaker 1: thirty years at strengthens and nones gun laws. Gun violence
13:01
Speaker 1: rates and mass shooting rates have come down in this country.
13:04
Speaker 1: By the way, just out of curiosity, I would ask
13:07
Speaker 1: Senator Murphy then, explain to me the violently high crime
13:10
Speaker 1: rates in cities that have intense gun laws, like Chicago,
13:15
Speaker 1: New York, Washington, d C. They have what he describes
13:19
Speaker 1: these amazing gun laws, and they have out of control
13:22
Speaker 1: violent crime. He is saying it's time to restore, as
13:29
Speaker 1: he describes it, and again, this blows my mind gun
13:33
Speaker 1: control laws that protect all of us, he said. Instead,
13:38
Speaker 1: what is shocking his President Trump has been engaged in
13:41
Speaker 1: a dizzy campaign to increase violence in this country. He
13:45
Speaker 1: is restoring the rights of felons and people who have
13:47
Speaker 1: lost their ability to buy guns. He eliminated the White
13:50
Speaker 1: House Office of Gun Violence Protection, and he has stopped
13:54
Speaker 1: fundamental health grants and community anti violence gun grants. The
13:58
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats supporting the twenty twenty two bill. So
14:02
Speaker 1: he's been engaged in a pretty deliberate campaign to try
14:04
Speaker 1: to make violence more likely in this country. I think
14:07
Speaker 1: you're unfortunately going to see the results of that on
14:10
Speaker 1: the streets of America. Now, let's also be clear, this
14:14
Speaker 1: is the same president that is lowering crime to some
14:18
Speaker 1: of the lowest levels I've seen in my lifetime my
14:20
Speaker 1: hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. This is the same president that's
14:23
Speaker 1: lowered gun crimes and violent crime in Washington, d C.
14:28
Speaker 1: To an incredibly low level, lower than it's ever been
14:32
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two, and they believe it's going
14:37
Speaker 1: to continue to go lower. So when you look at
14:43
Speaker 1: the claims compared to reality, they are completely out of touch,
14:50
Speaker 1: completely clueless, and have no idea what is actually being done.
14:57
Speaker 1: That is the part that I think is the most shocked.
15:01
Speaker 1: They have no clue, They have no idea what is happening.
15:09
Speaker 1: They just want to blame Donald Trump. Are they going
15:14
Speaker 1: to save lives?
15:15
Speaker 3: No?
15:16
Speaker 1: Are they going to blame Donald Trump? Yes? Do they
15:19
Speaker 1: always blame Donald Trump? Yes? Do they hate Donald Trump? Yes?
15:26
Speaker 1: If there is a mass shooting, will they give you
15:29
Speaker 1: the facts?
15:30
Speaker 2: No?
15:31
Speaker 1: If the shooter is a liberal or a radical or
15:33
Speaker 1: a isis connected person, do they want to tell you
15:35
Speaker 1: about that. No. All they want to do is blame
15:38
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They have not you notice, blame the actual
15:42
Speaker 1: shooter at the Brown University shooting, and if it comes
15:46
Speaker 1: out that this person is a leftist, they'll say nothing.
15:50
Speaker 1: In fact, they're hoping it's some sort of conservative that
15:54
Speaker 1: has done this so then they can go after conservatives
15:57
Speaker 1: and attack them and then say, see, we need more
15:59
Speaker 1: gun control, and you're the reason why people are dying.
16:04
Speaker 1: That's what this is actually all about. I want to
16:09
Speaker 1: get your phone calls, and I want to get your
16:11
Speaker 1: reaction to this. One A hundred four seven four nine

Speaker 1: all of this, these two attacks, and it really just
16:35
Speaker 1: seems to be about one thing, and one thing only.
16:38
Speaker 1: It seems to be about attack Donald Trump and go
16:41
Speaker 1: after a policy instead of the actual criminals. That's what
16:46
Speaker 1: it does seem to be about. All right, it's almost Christmas,

18:29
Speaker 1: This goes back to what the President said, why are
18:32
Speaker 1: we letting people into this country if we don't actually
18:35
Speaker 1: know who they are? Why are we letting people in
18:38
Speaker 1: this country? If they actually hate America? Why would we
18:44
Speaker 1: let them in to any of these countries? And again,
18:47
Speaker 1: I think it's a very very fair question to ask
18:51
Speaker 1: if they have genuine hatred and disdain for the United
18:54
Speaker 1: States of America, Australia should be asking themselves that question.
19:02
Speaker 1: Australia should be really looking at this and saying what
19:07
Speaker 1: have we done? Who have we led into this country
19:12
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be here? Who have we led into this country?
19:17
Speaker 1: There is a threat to our nation. That is something
19:21
Speaker 1: that we should all be talking about. The Australian officials
19:25
Speaker 1: will confirmed that the perpetrators are the anti Semitic attack
19:27
Speaker 1: at Bonnie Beach and Sydney where a father and a son.
19:31
Speaker 1: They've just come out with that information. This is people
19:34
Speaker 1: being radicalized by their own families. You think about that
19:41
Speaker 1: and you go why is this happening over and over again.
19:47
Speaker 5: The offenders are fifty year old and twenty four year
19:50
Speaker 5: old Mile, who are father and son. The fifty year
19:55
Speaker 5: old is deceased, twenty four year old is currently in hospital.
19:59
Speaker 4: At the moment.
20:01
Speaker 1: You listen to the update coming from Australia, and what
20:05
Speaker 1: you learn from just listening for even just a moment,
20:11
Speaker 1: that these individuals were radicalized within their homes. They were
20:19
Speaker 1: radicalized by their family, by their friends, by the people,
20:27
Speaker 1: by the way they go they go to this, their
20:30
Speaker 1: mosques with That's how they're radicalized. And it's something that
20:39
Speaker 1: we should all be talking about because over and over
20:44
Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over there have
20:51
Speaker 1: been warnings Australian politicians are not the ones who are
20:54
Speaker 1: running our country. Is how it was described today. Watch
20:59
Speaker 1: a Victorian cent who is a politician who works in
21:03
Speaker 1: the Austrian Federal Parliament. He spells it out, crystal clear
21:07
Speaker 1: exactly what the situation is. And I want you to
21:12
Speaker 1: listen to what he had to say about Australia and
21:15
Speaker 1: the problem they have.
21:17
Speaker 6: And I'm sitting in my nation's capital now and I'm
21:20
Speaker 6: telling you from my experience, the people that you elect
21:24
Speaker 6: to run your country are puppets. They are not the
21:29
Speaker 6: true wielders of power. Donald Trump likes to call this
21:34
Speaker 6: for deep state, and I'm going to tell you now
21:36
Speaker 6: about the deep state is alive and well in Australia,
21:40
Speaker 6: and it is alive and well in the UK. Of
21:43
Speaker 6: course it's alive and well in the United States. We're
21:46
Speaker 6: all seeing that play out right now. So do everything
21:50
Speaker 6: you can. Everyone that's watching this broadcast, everyone that's hearing
21:54
Speaker 6: my voice, you must be more involved in the political process.
22:00
Speaker 6: Must take action. You need to be active because if
22:03
Speaker 6: you're not active, the people behind the scenes that sit
22:06
Speaker 6: in the shadows, and they are there that control the
22:09
Speaker 6: levers of power, they don't have your best interests at heart.
22:13
Speaker 6: And I choose my words very carefully here, they don't
22:16
Speaker 6: have your best interests at heart. These authoritarian tyrants want
22:20
Speaker 6: nothing but to see you be a serf, be a slave,
22:23
Speaker 6: be a peasant while they sit at the top of
22:25
Speaker 6: the pinnacle of power, and they use their agents in
22:28
Speaker 6: the Parliament to bring that to pass. So do not
22:32
Speaker 6: be complacent. Get active, join a party, run a parliament,
22:37
Speaker 6: make your voice heard. Because the West, all of the West,
22:41
Speaker 6: is looking down a barrel. Right now. I'm going to
22:45
Speaker 6: tell everyone, I.
22:47
Speaker 1: Mean, you listen to what he said, this is not
22:53
Speaker 1: something that wasn't seen. This was something that everybody knew
22:59
Speaker 1: was having opening. There were real warnings about it. This
23:08
Speaker 1: was not a shock. This was something that people had
23:13
Speaker 1: been saying in Australia was getting out of control. Officials
23:21
Speaker 1: were being told recovered explosive devices in a car near
23:24
Speaker 1: Australian terror attack. That's just another example of how things
23:30
Speaker 1: are changing very quickly. People understand that political correctness can
23:36
Speaker 1: get you killed. Listen to this from Fox Judor.
23:41
Speaker 7: After a horrific terror attack at a hunacup party in Sydney, Australia,
23:45
Speaker 7: marking the worst attack on the Jewish community since October seventh,
23:49
Speaker 7: Chief Foreign Correspondentory Yngst is here with the latest hay Tree.
23:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, hey guys, good morning. There's been a terrorist attack
23:57
Speaker 8: in Sydney, Australia. At least twelve people are dead and
24:00
Speaker 8: more than two dozen wounded after two gunmen opened fire
24:04
Speaker 8: on Jews at a Hanaka party along Bondai Beach. Australia's
24:08
Speaker 8: Prime Minister reacted to the event, saying.
24:10
Speaker 9: This this is a targeted attack on Jewish Australians on
24:16
Speaker 9: the first day of Hanukkah, which should be a day
24:20
Speaker 9: of joy, a celebration of faith, an act of evil,
24:25
Speaker 9: anti Semitism, terrorism that has struck the heart of our nation.
24:33
Speaker 8: Local police put out a statement saying two people are
24:35
Speaker 8: in police custody at Bandai Beach. However, the police operation
24:38
Speaker 8: is ongoing and we continue to urge people to avoid
24:41
Speaker 8: the area. Please obey all police directions, do not cross
24:44
Speaker 8: police lines.
24:45
Speaker 1: Now they have.
24:46
Speaker 8: Updated this statement to say one of the attackers is dead,
24:49
Speaker 8: another remains in police custody. This event was scheduled to
24:52
Speaker 8: start at five pm local time in Sydney and was
24:54
Speaker 8: advertised for all ages, with music, games and fun. One
24:58
Speaker 8: person describes what they saw and heard nearby.
25:02
Speaker 4: As soon as I arrived, we heard pop pop, pop
25:06
Speaker 4: pop pop. We at first thought it was fireworks, so
25:10
Speaker 4: we did not react. People around us did not react,
25:14
Speaker 4: and then the popping did not stop. It was continuous,
25:18
Speaker 4: and then people started to panic and we started to
25:23
Speaker 4: see hundreds of people running around, not sure where the
25:28
Speaker 4: sound was coming from. I'm sure again if it was
25:32
Speaker 4: fireworks or if it was shooting bullets.
25:37
Speaker 8: We're also getting reaction from Israeli officials following this terrorist
25:40
Speaker 8: attack in Australia. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nett Yahoo says
25:44
Speaker 8: anti Semitism is a cancer spreading around the world. Trump
25:48
Speaker 8: administration officials also weighing in, with Attorney General Pam Bondi saying, quote,
25:53
Speaker 8: heartbreaking news from Sydney, Australia. My prayers go out to
25:56
Speaker 8: the victims, their families, and the Jewish community. The Attorney
25:59
Speaker 8: General an advocate for Jews, not only in the United
26:02
Speaker 8: States but around the world. Again, the latest information that
26:05
Speaker 8: we have though, twelve murdered in Sydney, Australia during this
26:09
Speaker 8: terrorist attack, and police remain on the scene there along
26:12
Speaker 8: the beach.
26:12
Speaker 1: Guys.
26:13
Speaker 10: Back to you, hi, Trey, We're finally seeing this video
26:16
Speaker 10: of the civilian in Australia on Vondai Beach taking down
26:21
Speaker 10: the shooter. So he's behind a vehicle, he sees the shooter,
26:25
Speaker 10: he tackles him, wrestles away the gun, takes the gun
26:29
Speaker 10: and then it looks like he's going to fire at him,
26:33
Speaker 10: but that doesn't happen. What do you see Is this
26:36
Speaker 10: that the bullets have run out? Is it perhaps that
26:39
Speaker 10: you know, this is a country that you know has
26:41
Speaker 10: very strict gun laws, maybe not as many trained gun
26:44
Speaker 10: users as it possibly doesn't know how to use the gun,
26:47
Speaker 10: clearly a hero though nonetheless Trey.
26:52
Speaker 8: Local media in Australia is reporting that the man's name
26:55
Speaker 8: is Ahmed al Ahmed, a forty three year old who
26:58
Speaker 8: runs a fruit stand by and he, as you see
27:01
Speaker 8: in this video, takes down the gunman and takes the
27:04
Speaker 8: weapon from him, ultimately disarming him and stopping some of
27:08
Speaker 8: the killing that was taking place there. He's being praised
27:10
Speaker 8: as a hero across Australia and the world. We don't
27:14
Speaker 8: know the specifics as to why the gun was not
27:17
Speaker 8: fired at that point, or if it malfunctioned, but we
27:19
Speaker 8: do know that officials on the scene have recovered at
27:21
Speaker 8: least two firearms, and they also say in a vehicle
27:24
Speaker 8: near to where this terrorist attack took place, they recovered
27:28
Speaker 8: an ied and improvised explosive device, again an indication that
27:32
Speaker 8: these two terrorists planned meticulously to go after Jews who
27:36
Speaker 8: were celebrating the first night of Hanukkah along the beach
27:39
Speaker 8: there in Sydney.
27:40
Speaker 7: Can you tell us anything more about that vehicle? Was
27:44
Speaker 7: it a vehicle that I assume it's a vehicle that
27:46
Speaker 7: they both arrived in.
27:50
Speaker 8: We don't know the specifics The information that we received
27:53
Speaker 8: just was from Australian authorities who held a press conference
27:55
Speaker 8: earlier today confirming that there were twelve individuals murdered and
27:59
Speaker 8: more than two dozen wounded. We saw some aerial images
28:02
Speaker 8: in local news media and Australia of this vehicle that
28:05
Speaker 8: was surrounded by Australian security forces. We don't know the
28:09
Speaker 8: details about how they arrived. All of this taking place
28:12
Speaker 8: again just a few hours ago in Sydney, Australia, but
28:15
Speaker 8: we do anticipate that Australian authorities will update as they
28:19
Speaker 8: gather more information into this investigation. Local media and Australia
28:23
Speaker 8: also reporting that first responders arrived at a scene near
28:27
Speaker 8: to where the shooting took place, a house where they
28:29
Speaker 8: believed one of the individuals was previously living.
28:33
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, it is very clear that there
28:37
Speaker 1: was warning signs on this long ago. There were elected
28:43
Speaker 1: officials saying, what are we doing? Why are we letting in?
28:46
Speaker 1: Some of you aple to hate this country and now
28:49
Speaker 1: you witness this
