WHAT did the FBI know before the Apalachee High School tragedy?

Once again, a killer was on the FBI’s radar. Glenn and Stu review the latest details about the Apalachee High School shooting, including some odd ones: Why is the 14-year-old killer’s father being charged? What happened after the FBI interviewed the family over a year ago? Why do we even have an FBI if all they do is spy on us illegally “for our own safety” and then fail to keep us safe?! And how do we already know so much about this killer when we still barely know anything about the attempted Trump assassin?

GLENN: Let's just assume, okay.

That you don't know anything about the -- the Georgia shooter, that went in and -- and murdered a bunch of people.

Just this week. Now, here's the headline. Now, Stu, I want you to do this with me. Pretend you don't know anything about this story. Okay? Other than some kid went this and shot.

STU: Terrible story.

GLENN: Here it is. Dad of alleged school shooter. Colt Gray. Arrested. Hit with murder and man slaughter charges.

What's your first emotion? What are you feeling?

STU: Anger. Anger at the father.

GLENN: At the father.

STU: Father and the son. Did he help plan this? Did he -- did he encourage it?

You know, it they have the texts of him saying, go do it, son?

What do they have on him?

GLENN: See. My first thought was, crimes that the son commits. You don't hold the father for. Or crimes of the father. You don't hold on the son.

That was my first reaction. Like, what are we doing now?

Okay? Colin Gray 54, charged with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder. And eight counts of cruelty to children. This is according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

This is the day after his 14-year-old son Colt Gray was charged with murder. The charges come after it was revealed that dad purchased an AR-15-style rifle to give to his son as a Christmas gift last year.

What's your emotion? What are you thinking?

STU: I mean, I can't believe he would do such a thing. Obviously, he wanted this to happen. This is what I'm supposed to feel.

GLENN: I got my first gun from my grandfather when I was 12. Try not to hurt yourself. Okay.

Try not to --

STU: That was a different era.

GLENN: My family.

STU: That's the era where they built the playgrounds with the 42-foot ladders with --

GLENN: With rocks. With no nets.

STU: Yes. That was that era.

GLENN: That's when we lived. That's when children lived. All right.

These charges. Now, I'm thinking to myself. Oh, now, this is another way to get guns. Because I can get my son a gun, as long as it's legal.

I can give him a gun.

I don't know what the laws are in Georgia.

These charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly, allowing his son, Colt, to possess a weapon. Colt received the deadly present from his father, just seven months.

Now, things are going to change pretty hard.

He got his deadly present from his father. Just seven months after authorities visited the pair, when the FBI received tips about online school shooting threats.

So wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Dad gave him a gun after the FBI was at the house. Now I'm thinking that the dad is a total dirtbag and deserves everything.

Except, I also wonder -- now, wait a minute. The FBI knew about this kid. This is a roller coaster ride.

Okay. Colin Gray told the police at the time, that he had hunting guns at his home. But said Colt did not have unsupervised access to them.

Okay. The teen also denied making the threats. Oh. So it didn't happen then. Colt Gray allegedly gunned down two fellow students and two teachers, when he opened fire at the school on Wednesday morning. Those killed were students. Blah, blah, blah. Nine others. Seven students and two teachers were hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

Barrow County sheriff Judge Smith said, Thursday night, he was happy to reveal that all of those injured will make a full recovery.

Okay. The disturbed teenager came from a broken home. Now, this is the information that the FBI had, months before the -- the shooting.

The disturbed teenager came from a broken home. Where he and his sisters were regularly abused by their troubled mother, and visited frequently by police and child services.

Colt's mother, 43-year-old Marcy gray. Forty-three. Has a lengthy rap sheet. Spanning 17 years. And four Georgia counties.

Including arrest for drug possession, driving under the influence, and domestic violence. Lauren Vickers who lived next door to the Grays and Jefferson, said the children were always wearing dirty clothes and sometimes were hungry. It was constant abuse, she said.

Colt's aunt, Annie Brown told the Washington Post, that her nephew was struggling with mental health issues. And was, quote, begging for help from everyone around him, before he shot up the school.

Okay. Okay.

I think we know what happened here. Okay? I think we got a pretty good handle.

So I want to ask: Why do we have an FBI?

Why do we have one? You know, they're spying on us illegally, for our own safety. But I don't think it is for our safety.

You know, because they're not protecting us. Listen, Georgia school shooting, suspect, on FBI radar, since 2023.

How about this one?

FBI got a tip about shooting suspect before the -- the day before the 2021 arrest. Suspect shooter and attacks on Jewish men, was on FBI's radar.

I'm just reading headlines from the past. Iowa mass shooter on FBI's radar.

The Highland Park shooting highlights limitations in pursuing disturbing content online.

Ohio man was on the FBI's radar for months. Officials say, Ricky Schiffler, 42, was killed after hours after trying to breach an FBI office.

Main police were alerted weeks ago, about the shooters threats. Suspect in double homicide, kidnapping was on FBI's radar.

What went wrong? FBI missed signals in four mass shootings. What the hell are they -- they doing?

What are they doing? I mean, you know what, I think we should just have their radar.

I think that's all we should have. We should just have something. Boop. Boop. Boop. Just show us the radar. That's all we need.

We don't need any humans to man it. It could be running by itself. That radar. Always on their radar.

That could just be running by itself. In a room locked up. And nobody ever sees it.

That's how effective the FBI is on this. So congratulations. I wonder what they're doing. You know, besides arresting grandma. You know, the true villains of the deadliest of all deadly days.

January 6th. By the way, there's a -- there's a new series coming out from the Babylon Bee on January 6th.

Here's a -- here's a little preview. Do you have the preview here?

It's cut -- that's --

VOICE: Nagasaki. The heat of the universe. These are some of the deadliest days in history.

But none of them compare to the most deadliest day, January 6th, 2021.

Coming soon, in the most epic movie event, since Robot Jocks, Left Behind, or maybe even Sunk the Mask.

The Babylon Bee investigates the darkest day in the history of democracy.

VOICE: Where were you on January 6th?

VOICE: In January? Storming the Capitol, baby.

VOICE: Scary stuff like this happened.

(music)

VOICE: Okay.

(music)

GLENN: Just shows a guy moving the podium.

VOICE: So a scale of nine to ten, how terrifying was what you just witnessed?

VOICE: Three? I don't know.

VOICE: We go on location. We bring you 100 percent true facts.

VOICE: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was murdered over seven times.

VOICE: We asked the tough questions.

VOICE: Is it true that you have a Jewish space leader?

VOICE: This is incredibly boring. Can you please explain it to me using Marvel characters.

VOICE: The scariest crooks you'll ever meet.

VOICE: Are you a dangerous insurrection man?

VOICE: Who is asking?

VOICE: We're in. Into the lair of darkness I go. Darkness because these are Republicans, not because --

VOICE: Shame! Shame!

(laughter)

VOICE: This fall, the only way you can save democracy, is by becoming a member of the Babylon Bee. So you can see January 6th.

The most deadliest day.

VOICE: Where were you on January 6th?

VOICE: I was in that mob, that is going into the Capitol.

(laughter)

GLENN: Oh. You know, this is -- they had took something that we should be concerned about.

And just made it into a joke.

It's just a joke now. By -- by -- by calling it the deadliest day, in the history of America. Worst than the Civil War.

Really?

The most dangerous day to democracy. By doing all of that. And then going out and arresting grandmothers. And putting them in jail for two years.

You know, I think. I think they made a joke out of our Justice Department. And our justice system.

Well, that and Hunter Biden, you know, going to court yesterday.

And saying, I want to plead guilty. Without saying I'm guilty.

And the judge saying, no. You can't do that.

All right. Then I'm guilty. I did it. What? The Justice Department say total yolk. A total joke. And you know whose advantage that works out for? People that want to cause chaos? I don't know. I don't know. You know, when you can't arrest people, let me -- let me give you this. Cut -- cut 11. Here's cut 11.

VOICE: Answers about a weekend attack, police say, they found the victim lying in a bed with a pickax, embedded in his skull.

A witness says, that they saw 26-year-old Hanson Hernandez-Moran hitting the victim multiple times, with the farming tool. Hernandez is charged with second-degree attempted murder. And we showed you these pictures, a large police presence. And KPD cruisers lined up outside the home where it happened.

GLENN: What about the --

VOICE: According to the report, Hernandez-Moran ran off, turned himself in to the police at the scene. The victim was transported to UT Medical Center with --

GLENN: But is he a citizen? Yeah. No, you see. This is an illegal. An illegal took a pickax to somebody.

But that's -- you know, that's no big deal. That's really no big deal. You know.

Okay. So we have a few Venezuelan gangs. Do you know that the Venezuelan gangs, do you know that they made themselves apparent to the police, about a year ago?

STU: Here on the radar? Of the police?

GLENN: They were on the FBI radar.

Why? Why has nobody come in and just said, yeah. We're going to take all of these guys out. We're going to put them in prison, or we'll kill them.

But they're not going to do this. No.

I mean, where a-- where is this story?

Where has this story been for a year? Answer: Not with the media. Because they're lying to you. Just like that last story.

She didn't say who that guy was. It is important to say, he's not a citizen.

Let me translate. This wouldn't have happened if we didn't have open borders.

STU: That's why it's good that we have a prosecutor in chief, that can come into the Oval Office.

And she's the only one, Glenn, who has prosecuted cartels. The only one. And that is why we need her in there. The tough on the border, border hawkish Kamala Harris.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's prosecuted the cartels. You know, I'm a little more for Donald Trump, just sending planes with bombs over their compounds.

That's what I'm for. That's what I'm for. No prosecution. We don't have to prosecute them. We know where they live. We know who they are.

Stop -- you know, stop trading in children.

And stop making fentanyl, and shipping it across our border. Or we will deem you an enemy of the United States. Buh-bye.

Now, I would like a justice system. But I don't think we have one right now.

Don't think we have one.

STU: Well --

GLENN: And until we can scare the hell out of the bad guys, we're not going to have much time.

To go through court. You know, for three or four years.

Let's -- let's -- let's make sure that our enemies, that know we're serious. And I think Donald Trump will do that. I think he will do that.

STU: Can I ask a question on this entire series of stories? And perhaps maybe we take a break, and you come back, and we talk about.

GLENN: Well.

STU: The -- like, for example, this case in Georgia. You know what I listened to this morning?

Glenn. What I listened to this morning. Was the audio of the entire conversation, that police had with this kid and his dad. A year ago.

I know about him. I know about his family's history. I'm really -- I've heard about the abusive mom. I've heard about her leaving. I've heard about the Christmas presents he's purchased. I've heard an incredible amount of detail about this case. And great.

Why have I heard almost nothing about the guy who tried to shoot Donald Trump?

GLENN: Well, because he had no footprint. He had no digital footprint, Stu. None whatsoever. None was what. Back in just a minute, with a little more on that.

You know, it was a very disingenuous question, that Stu just posed.

You know, why -- why do I know everything about this shooter, but I don't know really, very much about Nashville?

You know, or the guy who killed the president.

Or tried to kill the president.

You know, we all know, he had no digital footprint.

I mean, there are a lot of teens that have zero footprint.

And even more teens that have secret encrypted accounts with foreign entities, in three different countries.

That happens all the time.

But the real answer on why we don't know, is because they're taking this so seriously, Stu. They're putting the same guy, that was -- was -- and still is, on the -- the Vegas shooting.

They got him on the assassination.

And he also -- I mean, he's got a lot of things going on.

He's also looking into the pipe bombs. At the DNC.

STU: Oh, good.

GLENN: And RNC.

STU: So they were on top of it.

GLENN: Yeah. He's on top of it.

It's Bill.

He's like, oh, no. Another massive case?

All right. It will take me a little bit longer to get this information out.

But I'm the guy. I'm the guy.

So we have our best guy on it.

STU: Bill?

GLENN: Yeah. Bill.

I would like to tell you more about him.

But I can't get that information from the DOJ. Or the FBI.

But rest assured.

It's on their radar.

It's on their radar.
