A mass shooter who identifies a trans man, murderous three children and three adults and a christian school immediately,
to ignore the facts in this story and focus instead on gun control and a new wall street journal,
survey shows that american values are in serious peril. Adventurer this bench show
Well horrifying story out of nashville tennessee, yes,
a sure who identified as a trans man, twenty eight year old woman, biological woman, shot thrace
and three adult covenant school in the green hills, neighbourhood of national, it's a private christian school in national tennessee. According to the wall street journal. Apparently this person was a former student.
At the school on this show we don't actually name shooters, because we believe the decades glory to shooters.
given the attention they so desperately seek, but the facts of the case are things that are highly relevant. We are going to be discussing many things.
the sugar. There are highly relevant, especially given the politicized environment in which these shootings happened, in which
Media just decide to lie about the source of the shootings. So in this particular case the

into a battle over narrative, which is what happens in every mass shooting in the united states. The left immediately jumps to Syria.
Of narratives rooted in or of left wing storytelling and this house
every single mastering you can tell before the shooting, even happened if
victims of shooting our acts and if they should or is why here's, what the narrative will be
If a mass shooting in the united states in which the shooter is white and the victim is black than me,
It is going to be about both guns and racism if your master
in which the shooter is black and the victim is white. It's going to be our guns and systemic race,
and dispossession. If the sugar is muslim and the victim is gay, then it's going to be about christian bigotry, which is again
who had haven't Yolanda pulse nightclub shooting if the shooter is asian and victims are white, as happened in virginia attack
wouldn't be talking about gun control. If the shooter-
these trends and the victim is gay, as we turn it is, will discuss. In a moment
be talking about guns and maybe about the virulence of prayer.
In france, people in the united states. If the shooter is transit,
Victims are christian, then
to be about guns and about christian bigotry which,
narrative media are taking away from this particular shooting
is absolutely insane because again
tells them emerge emerged suggest that the shooter her former student, I didn't
as a friend's man. Apparently this person also left a manifesto here's the nest.
the police chief confirming that the shooter was, in fact a trans man, meeting a biological woman and saying that there is a manifesto that sort of speaks to the politics of the shooting.
If she does identify as transit, yes and no motive, because the now we have a manifesto, we have some writings that we're going over that pertain to this day the actual incident we have a map drawn out of how this was all going to take place. There is right now, a theory of that that we may be able to talk about
later. But it's not confirmed, and so we'll we'll put that out as soon as we can reason to believe that identifies is as any motive. The that we can give you that
at a later time. There is something
erie today we're investigating all the leads, and once we know exactly we'll, let you know the target at the time it was, is a targeted attack, which means that
by any by any stretch of the imagination. What we are talking about here is a trans identified person shooting up a christian school. That would be
in normal context to hate crime. If christian went to a very left
in school and shot up the school on the basis of trans students being there
that would be a crime and the national news story that the evils of the right wing and the quote, what anti
and an ideology that they push us
we'll see the media going to try and push that narrative anyway, even though the story is actually the reverse. This time a trans identified person shooting up a christian school and murmuring
of very small school children. What are they
fascinating elements that emerged right after the shooting is the amount of
what mrs gendering that happened in the media are one of the things that we have been told by our mainstream media legacy. Media is that you must never miss gender ever under any circumstances. Miss gendering is super bad. Miss gendering is approved
it's whereby you speedily biological sacks of a person as opposed to the sex to which they claim membership, so
Friends? Man if I say that a woman just shut up the school which is jack,
What happened then you're not allowed to say that this apparently miss trending you're, not its discriminatory in some way, been fastened
the media engaged almost immediately in a bunch of portable
miss gendering in this particular arena. So you saw, for example, the daily
put out a headline specifically miss gendering, the the shooter
saying that it was a woman. You saw the de roo,
rolling stone. Italy, a bunch of other publications cnn, suggested that a woman had done his daily beast headline suggested that
the cnn, said the shooter a twenty eight year old woman who was once a student at the school,
and calabria adults before responding officers killed her now again in another context, we are supposed to protect.
I bet men who say they are women, are actually women, but the media were having a real tough time with this one and the reason they're having a tough time with this one is because they don't want to acknowledge the narrative. If they ask
We go, there's something a rock and a hard place if they properly
logically gender, the person, the stories.
Accurate, but they have transgressed their own woke commandments. If, on the other hand, they do not do that if, in fact, they they go with the transgender pronouns preferred by the short
Then they are giving credence to the fact that a person widened
fight as trends and whose motive
likely how to do it that just shut up a bunch of schoolchildren there comes directly against the idea that victims can ever be victimized and again. This is part and parcel of a broader left wing rubric, which is that if you are a member of the victim class, we can never call you victimize or even if you are shooting school children. The most general aspects of this fascinating. So apparently that strict rule of construct
terms of the left that goes immediately out of buy by the wayside so long as it does not serve the narrative later. Of course, the new york times would come back and then try to correct the record. The the new york times actually put out a tweet saying that
confusion later on Monday about gender identity of the assailant in the national shooting officials and use.
She and herds referred to this aspect will, according to the social media, opposed
Linkedin profile appeared to identify as a man in recent months. Oh well. At least we cleared that up. At least we made sure that the the trans shooter
is granted the honor of identifying, as particular type of a human being, the media
have to sort of narrative here now, normally one of the things that come up what's the actual narrative
one thing that we certainly should discuss is the fact that when you create crisis narrative,
as I said before, rhetoric, I don't tenable in rhetoric for actual violent acts.

Almost universal attempt to cross the western, nearly every issue to suggest that the apocalypse is upon us and on the issue,
of people who have gender is for you or gender identity disorder or who claimed their member of the opposite sex there
over and over and over that they are on the verge of being genocide. It is just the thing that,
they. Then he said over and over and over in the transgender community and by legacy media
people on the right are attempting to wipe them off the face of the earth. Therein literal genocidal danger- and this of course necessitate
violence and sort of the same thing, the Jonathan height and social psychologist from from, and why you
said about micro, aggression, ideas when, when you keep telling
well, but they are being aggressive upon everything that happens to them. Everything they are insulted by is a micro aggression. They tend to react with macro aggression, and so, if you keep telling people
over and over and over again that they are about to be destroyed. Their mountain wiped off the face of the earth
you shouldn't, be all that surprised when the range people take, that message and ngo do horrific, horrific things and one of the thing
luke rosy acapulco over daily, where was pointing out, is that, mrs, from march six, twenty twenty three? There was a call
for eight Franz day of vengeance, stop transgenic

The national group's website for day of vengeance has like the stonewall riots. The gays and lesbians were experiencing. What the trans community is facing. Now the cycle of hate needs to end.

It was not even close to a call for violence, but here you have people who are intimately are calling
days of vengeance in days of rage- and you have people who are assaulting other people are rallies and new zealand, and the idea here is that this is all good and useful
by weight is worth noting at this point that there is a full study. I can you not. They came out from
national library of medicine. This was published in the front.
In psychiatry, circa, two thousand and twenty two and
The things that I found a rather crucial thing that it found whose is all about what is called violent, radical
position the possibility of different populations being subjected to violent radicalization and what this study found the requisite
transgender engender, diverse youth emerge as the group at the highest risk of support for violent radicalization,
in line with results of a recent survey conducted during the pandemic. That highlighted high levels of support for violent radicalization, as well as psychological distress among gender minorities. In other words,
We take a group of people who are very confused and when you preach to them,
this solution to their confusion, lies in things like gender transition, and then you teach them that
who refuse to accept that they are members of a sex to which they re membership and that those people are threatened them a violent threatened them. Then
it may be that you end up with more violent incidents that may be
fact one of the things that result- and so this creates kind of appeal-
media, because of course, we are complicit in precisely this narrative, if you're
person, who doesn't believe that men can become women? Women can can become men if you have believe the lie that gender is completely fluid. If Europe
the why that sex engender a disconnected if you'll believe,
any of those things. The meals and dress that you are responsible for trans racial transgenesis.
Friends, death, trans suicide, and so what you're doing and fighting a christian school, which is part and parcel of this indoctrinated apparatus, is something that is theoretically virtuous in this particular world. That's what a sick mind,
say- and this was a sick mine, because no one insurance children was not particularly a sick mine.
Media are complicit in this particular area, which means they have to come up with an alternative narrative. Now turn of narrative is wait for way for it. You gotta
Everybody who opposes the transgender is actually responsible for transfers and shooting up a christian school. The media have an incentive to cover up the actual source of shootings like this one.
Which is why, for example, you don't remember
Are you legume generally, do not recall the mass shooting, then
been in colorado in made twenty nineteen at school. This is airport
from eighty seven court, a teenager who told the authorities you launched a fatal shooting attack on his urban denver school last year with a classmate, because you wanted them to experience.

actually happen you're. Well. This was a person who says that he was marked because
was transgender
he wanted everyone in that school to suffer and realize the world is a bad place, had an affidavit summing up his statements, but that that shooting got memory, hole holdings of course that doesn't fit the narrative, which is that victims.
supposin victims in american society can sometimes be horrible that minors- or perhaps you remember, the club, q shooting your memory.
The nature it a shooting at a gay climate, originally the entire
the legacy media apparatus decided, but this was an act of christian bigotry against gay nightclub. In fact, it turns out that the shooter
had a very daisy childhood that his
identified as general binary and and that the shooter in this particular case identified as general on bioenergy and used they them pronouns as well. That story just
from the headlines pretty quickly after after that came out
Isn't that had to be memory holed, okay, so a new narrative has to now be created about this particular shooting. If you get memory hole, what exactly is going on a quote? Unquote: trans man shooting up a christian school. You have to come up with
narrative the new narrative that is being promoted by some members. The media is that the people to blatant truly are tenancy, republicans, tennis, your public,
we heard the daily, where we are the people to blame, because after all, we are pushing the idea, they shouldn't trends, the kids that you shouldn't to actually
to gender mutilate small children who are gender confused,
if hormone treatments shouldn't shoot girls full of testosterone, it might be bad for them. You might not want to actually carve a fake human. A fake flesh

if we say that- and apparently we are somehow responsible for a trans person, shooting up a christian school yesterday in one of the most insane

No, you can see why the sort of thing might have had it we're
making excuses for people who should children
apparently the way this works. Now it is the push to protect. Children on an eye
illogical overall indoctrination into a gender called that is now the excuse for shooting actual children that
The the logic boggles the mind, but I guess, when you have a narrative to push the narrative is that the right is always somehow responsible for a school shooting, even a school shooting, which are trans person, murders, a bunch christian kids. Then you have to go with it.
To go that that wasn't even the worst take of the day.
worse, taken today came courtesy of Ben Ryan, who has been
going after the daily wire with a rhetorical hatchet
for weeks now, suggesting, of course, that the daily, what are basically runs tennessee, which a whit. What did it worse
But that is not in fact, the case Ben ryan, tweeted out
NBC report NBC has idea national school shooter as the person twenty eight
identifies as transgender and had no previous criminal record national,
was home to the daily wear, a hub of anti trans activity by Matt, walsh, blog ben Shapiro and Michael J knowles. So just to get this straight, if a person does violence.
It's a trans person and none of us have called for violence against the trans person. We are all responsible for that. Also, if a trans person does violence against christians were responsible for that too, I feel like it
most doesn't matter, what have?
You just say the worst possible for the violence,
Meanwhile, you have newsweek pushing a
learn, sort of story. Newsweek had an entire tweet. It said
drag shows engender affirming care for minors were banned in tennessee this month, while assault weapons remain legal. Since the other alternative
The other alternative take us. Why are you even focused on things like that
children from eligibility q indoctrination
focus on the guns, man, just look at the jon stewart take that we saw a couple of weeks ago, where he's asking republican legislators. Why aren't you banning guns if you're trying to protect kids and it's like? Well, maybe I don't think banning guns protects the kids and also I don't see why not.

but this is this is the going line is well our hundred carbajal, who is a trans person tweeted, thank god, tennessee protecting children from
So called horrors of braggin gender forming care, so they can be shot up its
or by an eight hour, fifteen instead. Well, here's the thing they weren't china might just an air fifteen. Randomly
It is truly amazing how, when the left does not wish to, for example, blame certain
some people or certain ideologies for an idea that you blame me instruments, so
radical muslim terrorist drives a car over a bunch of israelis, then the car did it and when it Franz man should
bunch of christian schoolchildren, the gun did it
The shifting narrative is is absolutely clear and absolutely odious. Narrative number one at the left has tried to promote. Is the pathetically stupid narrative that
people who don't wish to see children mutilated or indoctrinated into a gender called, are responsible for transposing shooting up a christian school
desert of number one which, by the way, is actually inert if they help foment the
ideological insanity that contributes to stuff like this. If you keep saying that there is an existential threat to trans people,
the world. When you just say the boys are boys and girls are girls, and then people take that seriously and they go out.
and they say- ok! Well, you know I'm just going to attack anybody who says that, because after I'm, an existential threat.
Then you're actually using this shooting at eight as a platform,
nor a jew
forward a narrative that actually makes similar events more likely. Statistically, that's insane.
The secondary narrative, the beloved always has on these ones, is guns, of course, up Joe Biden yesterday
our incoherent president, he came downstairs and he began his prescott
He apparently already knew that the shooting it taken place. You randomly started talking about ice cream, which was very strange
kinda are talking to president ice cream before even got to his is assault. Weapons ban call

things are getting. We all think that you're, essentially small school child in a president's body,
the brain power of some
Lower and mammals is pretty much where we are at this,
He then no launched into his call for this all weapons ban, of course,
we have to do more.
Its top gun violence, its european, our communities apart,

but to protect her school, summarily turned in prisons, shooter

again the makes more progress. I welcome it
he's already at the answer, I d go way with school and, of course, you had the regular sort of cultural leaders out there are suggesting
the gun. Control is the answer peter Frampton. Another, culturally, he he treated out,
There is a school shooting in the ninety nine these in the uk and they called for a massive gun, buy back and
Registration and seizure programme have any school shooting sense. I would just like to note at this point that there were no school shootings before
the new school shooting in scotland that happen in, I believe at nineteen. Ninety six that that's cool shooting was
and when the only recorded school shooting in all of the uk in decades, so you're taking
ample size that does not exist, and then you are suggesting that the
have an independent variable, now changed this the sample.
And if you have zero and fit forties you're in the fifties, urine sixty zero, the seventy zero in the eighties one in the nineties,
piece legislation: zero on the two thousands zero in the two thousand tens I'd like to suggest,
it might not have been the gun legislation that actually changed that when you have a sample size of one, that is very difficult to draw any sort of serious database conclusion. But again the left doesn't need data
that the left has. He do something mentality and do something is always take. The rights of
normal americans, who aren't the problem so
exactly example: green jean pierre Wordsworth press secretary out there saying doing the how many
we'll have to be murder regime and lets me real about this. If democratically to this
Firstly, you know they would have done and then try to push this sort of us
weapons van gun, control, routine. It don't try to seriously push that when they control both by
because of congress and the presidency, which was last- I checked about thirty five seconds ago here
green jean pierre doing the what what
What, if I get very emotional about gun control too, to push this
in his state of the union. The president called in congress to do something to stop the epidemic of gun violence, tearing families apart tearing communities apart. How many more children have have to be murdered before republicans in congress will step up and act to pass the assault, weapon?
spare me, the do something is not in actual plan, you know, it'd actual plan
I only knew a few things will be national plan. The Democrats have rejected all of these by the way so far as I'm aware addition of school security at all schools yet
jewish days goals are guarded like bags, and they should be because there is a high level of suspicion that if there are going to be a target of attack that you need somebody there in order to stop it and better school lockdown procedures, obviously issues to lock the outer doors, which didn't happen in this particular scenario,
and yes treating people who are mentally ill as though they are mentally ill. This person was clearly mentally ill. This person was clearly unwell. All the red flags were there, but we had to treat it as though it's an act of heroism rather than make.
indicated this person is wholly well, doesn't mean that every person why don't fight is transgender is potential school should regard forbid. That's obvious, not true mean that any, but that that everybody with generous for your gender identity disorder is potentially violent. That's how these are not true either, but you pretend that somebody
whose exhibiting signs of
abnormality is somehow perfectly normal
and that there were no red flags with. I guarantee you as time goes on we're going to find out that there were a bevy of red flags, because there has yet to be a school shooting in which there were no red flags. It always turns
now that there is a vast football field filled with red flags.
Nobody looked the other way and you don't have to
been indicated that somebody might be having a problem, one,
wait indicated, so we will be having a problem.
Not a violent problems. Problems generally great indicator.
is when they say that they are a member of a text which they do not belong. That does not mean
we violent again for the third time in four morons media matters. It does mean if we are looking at sub group of of folks who are who are
suffering from a mental illness and who ought to
have a pair of eyes on them more than the person who is in the control room, that's a symptom that.
The fact that we are not supposed to say any of that is is demonstrably exactly the problem in american society. We do not take the problem mental illness seriously in amerika, we just don't we don't we don't. We pretend it away and
particularly when it when it falls along the lines of politically correct truisms and softened sophistry? We pretend it away. It's really. It's really prevent
again. No there's nobody out. There would argue that that somebody who is suffering from schizophrenia should have an extra pair of eyes.
There's nobody whose arguing that somebody who several ran directly, I just for their own health and safety, should have an extra pair of eyes on them. But when it comes to certain types of particular mental disorders, we're supposed to pretend that everything is hunky, dory and then we're supposed to act. Apprise wouldn't when something terrible happens mean listen,
statistical outliers like this, are always going to be shocking. But can we stop
Turning to the normal person whose walking down the street not identifying as member of the opposite, gender is in,
exactly the same mental health status, a person who is walking around identifying as a member of the opposite gender. That is just not true that doesn't mean there can be a school shooter. It does mean that, if
If we are categorizing folks in terms of mentally this,
werder vs not mentally disordered yesterday
Look at mental disorders that are on the table about what I
I do that now, where we're just going to work, we're going to do they do something routine. Here is Joe Biden. Doing that you know. I I hate to
say what I'm gonna say next because
you're, so enthusiastic and with so much energy and hope, and I feel it, but why
then, in this room, I don't know whether you ve been on your phones by we just learned about another sheet
in tennessee,
school shooting and
I am truly without words, and our children deserve better
and we stand all of us. We stand with nashville in prayer,
she's alive to saint. By the way, people on the run an honest emperor, Joe Biden slot, is it I'm
but but do better is not actually legislative proposal. It is likely to result in anything useful, but it's not about useful. It's about what you can. Demagogue off of a pair,
wait, which presumably is why Barack Obama is former education secretary, Arne Duncan's weeded out at what point do we consider a national boycott of schools
our children are safe to learn their and our adult are safe to teach. How many lines
need to be lost before we actually decide to do some vague and keep everyone's it.
A national boycott of schools. Genius little stuff there from the actual former educate
the secretary of the united states of america, just don't
go to school anymore, wonderful,
representative steve cohen, democrat of tennessee he's doing the same routine. He says it's hard to sit with republicans because they are the ones who are at fault for this.
Is weird, because there is an actual shooter who didn't actual thing. It had an actual personality and actual description and actual agenda, but fairly just generalised republicans,
Didn't you did work and new town that consider setting up tat, kids, really working evolve,
yeah right works there. There,
political power, their money
that they make got many
actors, money less will push the right that that'd been live.
It's the flu as it's horrific to thankful and the congress, people won't adjust their thinking and do what any better the thoughts and prayers. That's. What we've heard people right now in congress is pathetic.
it's it's hard for me to to to to to serve up there now with some of the people that I have served with, I mean I that they're there
are the danger and we make it go.
I don't get it
They are so attached guns and- and this of course is part of a broader attack by anybody in the press and on
left on anybody who actually likes guns or, for example, that this isn't it
some of the dumbest headline dead they're just too many of them there. There is just a fire hose stupidity, so between sea
cohen, suggesting that he can't somewhat people our programme because their responsible for a trans person shooting a bunch of christian school kids,
washington post, which printed this actual headline giovanni congressmen from national district heartbroken by shooting but Democrats gun control,
his highlight any twenty. Twenty one christmas photo showing represented andrew oboes in members of his family, the firearms. So just it just to get this absolutely clear,
the she'll be congressmen is not allowed to be heartbroken by shooting in his district, because
He and his family held guns in a christmas photo in twenty twenty one. They are responsible there, the wild misdirection, the insane misdirection. It really is almost too
To take a meanwhile there's a study out from the wall street journal. That is just fascinating
and has real consequences to it. It cannot yesterday and what it found is that america, american values, thereby
simply dying generation over generation. It here is what was originally
patriotism religious state having children and other priorities that help define the national
character for generations, are receding and importance to americans according to a wall street journal and o r c poll, and the these findings of this poll are just astonishing in the poll asked him pretty simple questions like do. You have faith in the economy?
that is excellent. We're good eighty percent by the way so that the economy is poor or not so good in the united states asked if, if they
think that their kids are gonna, live better, like the they do. A huge number.
Americans say they think it'll be actually worse for their kids than is right now, but what is really
What's fascinating about this, this wall street journal poll is it shows that central values to social cohesion
are completely fading away in the united states, so, for example, patriotism in ninety. Ninety eight, seventy
percent of americans had the patriotism was a very important value than seventy percent, which would obviously imply
significant bipartisan agreement. The patriotism is pretty important, but if you live in the united states
pretty excited about living in the united states and should believe in american exceptionalism bite you.
Nineteen the number and dropped some, but not
entirely radical to sixty one percent by twenty twenty three then number had dropped to thirty. Eight percent like off a cliff
So, between twenty nineteen and twenty three november dropped from sixty one percent of thirty eight percent americans, you think the patriotism is important. Religion
sixty two percent of american seven. Ninety ninety eight, their religion was important to them. Forty eight percent said, but was important by twenty nineteen. Today, it's at thirty nine percent
no less than four intend. Americans in the religion is very important to them.
When children
in ninety. Ninety eight fifty nine percent
Americans are that having children is important value to them.
twenty nineteen, those down to forty three percent, and today it is down to thirty percent less than
in three american say that having children is a very important value. This one is
The fastening community involvement and even
following your community, forty
percent american said that it was very important, be involved in your community in nineteen. Ninety eight that jumped to sixty two percent in
Nineteen. I can only assume that people meant politically because by
do you twenty three, that number was down to twenty seven percent,
less than one in three americans at a core of americans. Believing
unity involvement is actually an important value. The only area in which americans say

I'm I'm very excited than the state of florida instead of flora has now passed universal school choice. Then the money now follows the students now found the school
That means that every kid will have the ability in the state of flora to get tat a credit of something like

It was governor round his aunts in florida, the wind for him and so
people have said: wait a minute. If you give parents a choice, have you let parents take scholarship and go to the school of their choice? Somehow that's going to hurt education performance in in florida. Work. Proof positive that that's just the opposite of what actually happened. Fact that the matter is our school districts perform better because they've embraced choice. Our charter schools perform better because they have to compete for individual students are not entitled to get anybody as a charter, school and, of course, having private schools that can service the needs of parents, so that a parent will take that scholarship and say you know what I want to go to this particular school because of what they're offering all that has
created a very positive feedback. It can be great and in this makes lord of the fourth state, actually adopt universal school choice. More of this, this is how you rebuild local institutions. Can power back to parents to re in their communities instead of you
