Speaker 1 (00:01):
There is one thing we are getting from the Trump
administration when it comes to the shooting in Minneapolis. It
is clarity. The FBI director Caspittel saying the shooting is
now being investigated as a hate crime targeting Catholics. This
is something we did not get from the prior administration.
The FBI director used a post on x to make
(00:24):
it clear that the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting will be
investigated as a hate crime, specifically targeting Catholics. It was
reported that the alleged shooter changed his name from Robert
to Robin at seventeen years of age. Fox News correspondent
Brooke Taylor reported that his mother signed off on the
(00:45):
suspected shooter's name changed from Robert to Robin. Yet again,
another transgendered individual shooting up a school. Police indicated the
alleged shooter used a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun
to carry out his attack on the church Wednesday morning.
From inside the church, he shot through windows, striking children
as they sat in the pews during mass. As you
(01:07):
know at this point when I am recording this, two
children have been killed, seventeen other individuals have been wounded.
Patel putting it on x saying updates on the shooting
in Minneapolis. The FBI is investigating. Shooting is an active
domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics. There are two fatalities,
(01:27):
an eight year old and a ten year old, in
addition to fourteen children and three adults that were injured.
He went on to say after that quote, the shooter
has been identified is Robin Westman, a male born as
Robert Westman. The FBI will continue to provide updates on
our ongoing investigation with the public as we are able.
(01:52):
Now even CNN is having to admit that this was
a radical. Here is more of what they said about
the shooter.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Breaking news, admiration for mass shooters, hatred of multiple groups,
no sympathy for any victim. It is just some of
what the shooter in today's Catholic school massacre which he
murdered two children, reveals and videos posted online. Videos that
police are scouring through right now for clues and answers
about the shooter, who has been identified as a twenty
(02:22):
three year old named Robin Westman. Brian Todd has the
latest on what we know about the shooter.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
The coward that shot these victims took his own life
in the rear of the church. That coward has been
identified as twenty three year old Robin Westman.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Westman seems to have left a series of online videos
which describe an obsession with school shootings and even named
other mass shooters, such as the twenty twelve Sandy Hook gunman,
the Columbine gunman, and the man who attacked the Tree
of Life Synagogue in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Here's my note to my family.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
The video also shows written statements and several guns painted
with slurs. In another clip, the speaker simply reads aloud
from a closed dryer, manual.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Dryer safety, Your safety and the safety of others are
very important.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Police say they also found a litany of writings.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
We're also aware of a manifesto that the shooter had
time to be released on YouTube. This manifesto appeared to
show him at the scene and included some disturbing writings.
That content has since been taken down with the assistance
of the FBI, and it now remains under active review
(03:36):
by our investigators.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Apparently part of the plan that the shooter seemed to
illustrate in those same videos on YouTube, a photo of
a slab of wood. An actual slab of wood was
found at the scene, blocking a door from the outside.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
For the exit.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Pop it through the hands.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
According to social media posts, the shooter's mother worked at
the school from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one, and
the shooter graduated from the school in twenty seventeen. The shooter,
now known as twenty three year old Robin Westman, identified
as a female and changed their name legally to Robin
from Robert in twenty twenty. The agency is investigating this
(04:14):
as an act of domestic terrorism and as a hate
crime targeting Catholics. Police Chief Brian O'Haras says, officials there
have not yet established enough of a motive to charge
it or to investigate it yet as a hate crime.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Aaron, that is the part that's the most shocking. You
now have two very different narratives. You have clearly leadership
and cashpiteal in the Trump administration calling this what it is,
and then you have local liberal police who are saying, no,
we don't have enough to actually look at this as
a hate crime yet. The question I would ask is
(04:51):
when will you have enough? As the Minneapolis police chief,
describing the attack on the mass as quote evil, noting
that the worship service was marking the first week of
school for children that are attending the Catholic school. He
described the shooting as a deliberate act of violence against
innocent children and other people worshiping, but won't call it
(05:13):
a hate crime yet. If you want to know what's
wrong in this country, this is a perfect example of it. Democrats,
even when evil is steering them in the face, will
refuse time and time again to call it exactly that.
If there's one thing that is happening right now, it
is that Democrats are using this to push for gun control.
(05:36):
Amy Klobuchar said, I have long supported assault weapons ban,
even before she knows what guns were even used. Many
others are also saying the same thing. Former White House
pressing or Tarry Jensaki breaking down in tears on MSNBC,
and then the Minnesota mayor are saying, why is it
that you can buy a gun virtually every month if
(05:59):
you want to too, again blaming the gun instead of
the transgendered person who they decided to say that their
mental health issues were normal and decided that you know,
we're never going to help them with their mental health
We're just going to try to normalize it. Former FBI
profiler said the shooter's parents, well, they're ones to blame
(06:21):
as well, saying you help them change their name. At seventeen,
that's probably when the fuse was lit. Take a listen
to a little bit more of what the FBI profiler
had to say about the shooter on Ingram Show on Fox.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Scrawl across that manifesto, James, what can you tell us
You've seen the photos.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
There are various photos.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Of him circulating on the internet.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Yeah, and we're just a few weeks away from the
thirtieth anniversary of the publication of the unibombers Manifesto in
the Washington Post, and now we have Back then, it
took a whole lot of protocols to go through to
get it in the newspaper, according including from the UNI
bomber himself. Nowadays, you do these things, You plan these
mass murders, and you put it on YouTube, you know,
twenty minutes or the day before while you're singing along
(07:08):
to Annie, and then you know, RM songs and other
factors like that to make it so disgusting. This person, obviously,
he makes Travis Bickle, the taxi driver character look like
a piker. He is all over the place. I can't
believe there are not siblings. I think he had six
siblings parents who somehow did not see this, that there
(07:29):
wasn't psychological or behavioral leakage in one way or the other.
I'm not sure where he was living, with whom he
was living, but someone had to see this, And I
think we should look at laws in this country that
perhaps if you have a family connection who does something
like this and you didn't report it, you can help
them get guns, you help them change their name. At seventeen,
that's probably when the fuse was lit for this guy
(07:50):
to do what he did. You know, five six years.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Later now our Democrats worried about any of what was
just mentioned there. No, are they trying to stop the
next shooting before it happens. No, what they are trying
to do is use this opportunity to then say that
you cannot own a firearm. That is the entire conversation
and what it focused around on MSNBC virtually all day
and all night.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Doctors and nurses, everyone that helped.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yeah, I saw some of the stories coming out about
that heroism and just incredible courage under tremendously insane circumstances.
There is something so perverse about the fact that these
kids drill for this, and yet it seems that that
(08:36):
preparation maybe was useful in this moment.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Yes, so they knew to get under the pews, they
knew what to do. And my friend's daughter was just,
you know, seventh eighth grader. She actually saw two of
her friends shot, one and the stomach, one in the neck,
and then when she got out, she had to tell
one of their parents what had happened to their own kid.
So these kids did extraordinary things, but they never should
(09:03):
have been put in that position in the first place.
This was a mad man. He was an all purpose
hater by the way, hated groups, left, right, you name it.
There's no way to pin an ideology on this, and
I think people should remember this as the facts come
out about this manifesto. But what I learned from this
once again is that guns and we're a proud hunting state.
(09:26):
There's a lot of law abiding gun owners in Minnesota.
But there's got to be more we can do here.
I've long supported an assault weapon band. It won't help
in every case, but it would helped in Uvaldi, it
would have helped in Buffalo. We don't know if it
would have helped here, or background checks or some kind
of triggers when someone suddenly buys a number of guns
or better backgrounds. This just we're not doing enough. And
(09:49):
these kids, no matter how many drills they have, they
shouldn't be expected to do that for us.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Isn't it amazing how the left will sit there and
use kids dying do then push for a genda. Itdel
that She even admits, we don't know if it would
have helped here at all, but I'm going to push
the political agenda anyway. This is where we are. Unfortunately,
Democrats see something that's happened and they immediately go for
one thing, your right to protect and defend yourself instantly.
(10:19):
A Minnesota church school shooting has happened yet again, and
yet again, the suspect was a transgendered person. The suspect
identified as a female and changed the name at seventeen
years old. A senior administration official has now confirmed that
the alleged shooter at the Minneapolis Catholic school changed from
(10:42):
a male name to a female name at seventeen years
of age and now identified as a female. A document
post on social media confirmed as authentic by the officials,
said they described the name change occurring in twenty twenty,
when the alleged shooter was a minor and required parental
sign off on the change. Fox News correspondent Brooke Taylor
(11:05):
reported that his mother signed off on the name change
from Robert to Robin. It has also been reported that
police indicated the alleged shooter used a pistol, a rifle,
and a shotgun to carry out the attack on the
school Wednesday morning. From outside the church, he shot through windows,
striking children as they sat in pews during mass. Two
(11:26):
children were killed and seventeen other individuals were wounded. We
hope that those numbers do not change, but they could
by the time you hear this. The shooter then took
his own life. We also know that this is a trend.
You had a transgender identifying woman that shot and killed
six innocent children at a Nashville Christian school back on
(11:50):
March twenty seventh of twenty twenty three. She had originally
planned to shoot up another school, but didn't why she
abandoned the plan to avoid looking racist, and there was
another school that had quote too much security. Now, there's
more on this when it comes to transgender issue. We're
going to talk about this in a moment, but there's
(12:10):
a bigger part of the story that you need to
know about right now, and it is a part of
the story that will not be covered by the media.
I want to take you back to two years ago.
Two years before the shooter opened fire on the students
attending daily mass in Minneapolis, the leaders of independent Catholic
(12:32):
schools in Minnesota begged the governor former VP candidate Tim
Waltz for help securing their schools. The funding by Tim
was never authorized. Where was funding going taxpayer dollars to
illegal immigrants. It was going to massive amounts of government
(12:54):
aid to illegal immigrants in his community, But protecting the kids, no,
that was something he would not do. Their letter asked
Waltz for help to secure nonprofit, non public and religious schools.
It came one week after a trans identifying shooter killed
(13:16):
three children and three adults in Nashville at the Covenant
Christian School. So there was a reason why they were
asking for the money, they said, after seeing that they
knew they were vulnerable and they needed help from the governor. Meanwhile,
in April of twenty twenty three, and again, I hope
all this information I'm giving you you will share wherever
(13:39):
you can on social media, because the media is going
to whitewash this and act like none of this ever happened.
In April of twenty twenty three, the same month the
letter was sent, Walt signed legislation establishing Minnesota as a
quote trans refuge quote unquote, promising to protect seeking gender
(14:01):
affirming care that according to Outfront Minnesota and the news reports,
we now know that the shooter, Robin Slash Robert Westman,
is a trans identifying man the reports now state who
identified as a woman and legally changed his name in
Minnesota with his mother's sign off, which brings us back
(14:22):
to the other basic point. Over and over again, we
are seeing trans individuals who have gone through some sort
of transition, who are being supported by their families, who
still are dealing with major mental health issues, and as
long as we keep acting like it is not a
(14:44):
mental health issue, this is going to continue to happen.
It is absolutely and utterly insane for us to sit
here and advocate and support people who believe that they
are trapped in another sex, body than what they are
to normalize it. It is a mental health issue, and
(15:05):
I'm not saying that in a mean, disparaging or angry way.
I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who believes that they
are trapped in another person's body, another sex, or the
wrong sex and what they are. But let me also
say this very clearly, there is a real threat to
all of our kids now because we have at least
(15:28):
part of the country has tried to normalize mental health
issues and acting like there is nothing wrong when someone
says they're trapped and the wrong sexual body, the wrong sex.
And the longer that we continue down this road, the
longer we act like this as normal, when everyone knows
that it is not normal, we are going to continue
(15:51):
to see these types of things happen. I want you
to think about the place you have to be in
to be this young and to want to go kill
innocent children, shooting them while they're at mass I want
you to think about how radical and extreme you have
to be in your head to then kill yourself, to
turn the gun on yourself. This is a mental health issue,
(16:14):
and the problem now is the radical left is tried
to normalize it. Instead of giving people the help that
they need. Instead, they're saying no, no, let's encourage and
advocate and support an individual who's clearly dealing with a
major mental health issue. And that is the problem. This
is exactly why we must as a nation stand up
(16:37):
to this and say no, we are not going to
normalize it, and we're not going to act like you're
a bad person if you say what I'm saying right now.
We need to call it out because we are not
doing anybody any favors and we're not actually helping people
when we try to normalize a real mental health condition. Finally,
(17:00):
let me also say this, this is why the President
United States of America I'm proud of for leading on
protecting women's sports. He is not normalizing a dude acting
like a chick in women's sports. Women's sports should be
for women, men's sports should be for men. And if
you want to start a messed up trans league, I
(17:21):
mean it when I say this, knock yourself out, do it.
But do not open up sports to the opposite sex
and act like that is fair. The radical left, unfortunately
has lost their mind. They're not defending women's sports. They
are not doing what they need to do to protect women,
and the President is doing it through legislation as well.
(17:45):
And all of us should be advocating and supporting women
and protecting women, protecting them in the locker rooms, protecting
them in sports, protecting them when it comes to scholarships,
protecting it when it comes to going to the Olympics.
And this is another example of the culture war we
are in right now in this country. There are sane
(18:07):
people like you and I that believe that this is insanity,
and the media and the radical left have been pushing
this other narrative, this totally insane narrative, for far too long,
and all of us, I believe, have an obligation and
a duty to refuse to accept this is some sort
(18:29):
of great idea. Now, let me also say this, what
I just told you is not being talked about anywhere.
I really want you to take the podcast and I
want you to share it wherever you can on social media.
Please share it because this is important that people know
the real story. Share it because they need to know
what Tim Waltz did not do to protect children, even
(18:50):
after they were asked for protection, putting illegal immigrants ahead
of children in school that need a protection and not
protect them, probably because they're in a religious institution. This
is something everyone needs to know, so makes you share
this wherever you can around the country. I want to
talk to you about my friends at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals.
(19:13):
Two days ago, I got my new order of silver.
Now I'm investing in silver right now because the pricing
on it is amazing and the upside well, it's real.
I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It
is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one
hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought it
(19:35):
at the right price and I wasn't paying massive up
charges on quote rare are special coins, and then when
you go to sell them, you take away all of
your earning potential. Why do they do it this way
at Kurt Elliot because they have transparent pricing up front.
It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy,
(19:55):
and here's what matters to you the most, nothing when
you sell. There are no hidden fees. Ever with Kurt
Elliott Precious Metals. This is the reason why I recommend them.
It's not just about investing, it's about making sure you
get more for your money, and that is exactly why
Kurt Elliott helps people all the time. Whether it's gold
(20:18):
or silver, you can hold it, be a good steward
of it, you can pass it on to future generations,
and you can build wealth with it. It's real, bollyon,
never gimmicks, just investment grade gold and silver, No overpriced coins,
no flashy markups. And it's a company that I love
because they are a faith driven company. There's no pressure,
(20:41):
just honest care. They treat every client like family, offering
honest answers up front to help you make wise informed decisions.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
If you're seeking a partner when it comes to gold
and silver with an eternity mindset, visit ke PM dot
com slash ben. That's k e PM dot com slash ben.
You can also call them seven two zero six oh
five thirty nine hundred. That's seven two zero six oh
(21:13):
five thirty nine hundred. So let's faithfully steward what God
has given so you can experience real peace now and
for generations to come. Ke PM dot com slash ben.
The media and the Democrats, Yeah, guess what they lied
to you again. They got it wrong again. They said
that Donald Trump was going to destroy the economy, that
(21:35):
the big beautiful bill was going to send us into
a recession, that the president was out of control. Well
guess what they lied to you. The US economy is
surging past expectations as spending and investments are soaring. The
US economy expanded faster than initially estimated in the spring.
(21:58):
Why Americans spent more freely and businesses stepped up investment
in their businesses. According to the revised government data, gross
domestic product rose at three point three percent annualized rate
in the second quarter. That is up from the Commerce
Department's initial three point zero percent estimate and above the
(22:21):
three point one percent pace that economists had forecasts. So
they beat not one, but two expectations. The acceleration followed
modest growth in the first quarter. We're being told as well.
Now the upward revision reflects household spending more on a
couple different things number one healthcare, two pharmaceuticals, and three
(22:43):
something completely different than that, dining out. So what does
that mean. It means people feel comfortable and confident in
their income right now now. It also shared us something
else with businesses, small businesses, mid sized businesses, and large businesses.
Companies boosted purchases of number one equipment that tells you
(23:08):
they feel good about a growing business structure and intellectual property,
meaning that they're also these businesses are willing to invest
in future expensive intelligence right intellectual property. Business investment was
driven by quote stronger outlays on software, on research and development,
(23:30):
including things like light trucks and commercial structures, so people
are expanding. You don't do these things unless you have
confidence in an economy. We also know that the media
lied to you about Trump's trade wars and the tariffs.
All of this was happening when they said that things
were going to be stopped, that there was going to
(23:52):
be a retraction in the economy because of the instability
and the insanity as they described it of Donald Trump's
trade wars. Guess what they lied to you again. In fact,
trade flows also contributed to the growth, so they just
lied with pure propaganda that was anti Trump. Imports, which
(24:13):
subtract from GDP calculations, declined after surging in the first
quarter ahead of the new tariffs on some goods. We
also know the export slip but not enough to offset
the boom and the booze from fewer foreign goods flowing
into the country, which is exactly what Donald Trump predicted.
A key gauge by the way of underlying domestic demand
(24:36):
and the real final sales to private domestic purchasers, which
is an important category, excludes trade inventories and government spinning
also rose, so this is like genuine private sector nothing
to do with the government. It rose at one point
nine percent rate, up from one point two percent in
(24:56):
the earlier estimate. So every virtual metric of what the
expectations were, the Trump administration blew them out of the water. Now,
price pressures remained in check. What does that mean? Personal consumption,
expenditure and the price index the Federal reserves preferred inflation
gauge increase at a two point zero percent annual rate
(25:19):
that was matching the Central Bank's target. Core prices, which
exclude violatile food and energy costs, advanced at a two
point five percent pace as well. Government spending, by the way,
was also revised. I never get to say this lower.
Let me just say that again. Government spending was revised lower.
(25:41):
Why it was driven by reduced state and local outlays
which tempered some of their well, you know, hey spending.
That is amazing. The income side, also of national accounts
painted a similar robust picture. Real gross domestic income climbed
at a four point eight percent rate. Our corporate profits
(26:03):
rebounded after declining in the first quarter. The Commerce Department
is scheduled by the WAY to release its third and
final estimate of second quarter GDP, along with annual benchmark
revisions to historic data, on September twenty fifth. So let
me just recap for you. This is massive growth for
(26:26):
our economy that Donald Trump promised.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
You have.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
The US economy's real GDP for the second quarter of
twenty twenty five revised upward to three point three percent
annualized growth. The media lied to you, and they told
you this would not happen. The initial estimate was three
point zero percent. They believed you weren't going to get there.
They lied. This marks a significant rebound from the negative
(26:52):
zero point five percent contraction in quarter one of twenty
twenty five. And again the media said that this was
a disaster of Trump's and the trade war, and it
was going to be just horrific, and you were going
to not be able to find things on the shelves,
and that you weren't going to be able to find
a job, and that no one was going to be
hiring and no one's going to be manufacturing. All of
that was a lie. The uptick in Q two performance again,
(27:17):
why did it happen? Driven by stronger business investments so
people have confidence something that the media said was not there.
And consumer spending something that they said wouldn't happen. Another lie.
It also was a drop. We had a drop in imports.
What does that mean? That's better for American workers. That
means that we are we are more stable and we're
(27:40):
not depending on so much foreign trade. And then, by
the way, we all said money that came in that
paid down our debt because of all the tariffs the
present has put in, we now know that it could
be more than a half a trillion dollars. It's collected
by the US government this year alone. The measure of
real final sales to private domestic purchasers, which includes consumer
(28:02):
spending and business investment, that was revised up to one
point nine percent from the prior estimate of one point two. Again,
the media and the Democrats lied to you. So let's
break it down to consumer spending. Donald Trump promised you
that you were going to feel confident and you were
going to want to be in the game and expand
your businesses. Well, real personal consumption expenditures grew one point
(28:26):
two percent in Q two. That is an incredible growth
based on what they said was coming, which was a disaster.
Let me give you another example of this. Monthly data
for June alone showed a zero point three percent rise
in consumer spending. That is consistent, it is stable, and
it was an expansion that the economists and the media
(28:49):
and the left said was not going to happen. Again,
another lie on a quarter over quarter basis. For example,
real consumer spending increase from zero point five percent in
Q one to one point six percent in Q two. Again,
that is an explosion of spending. And why did this happen?
Because people have faith in Donald Trump's policies. So let's
(29:13):
deal with corporate profits and business investment because that's going
to drive income for Americans. Corporate profits rebounded in quarter
two with a gain of you ready for this, thank you,
Donald Trump, sixty five point five billion. Let me explain
how big of a of a fix this is. In
(29:34):
the prior quarter Q one, there was a ninety point
six billion dollar decline. So not only did we wipe
out the ninety point six billion dollar decline in Q one,
we added sixty five point five billion to that. That
is insane. Business investments contributed meaningfully to the GDP rebound,
showing growth and equipment in structures, intellectual property AI related investments,
(29:59):
and life vehicles, meaning that these are companies that are
saying it's time to buy a new fleet of vehicles.
That's something that you do not do if you are
unsure about the economy. Let me also just be very clear,
all of these games were happening while the media was
hammering Trump. The Democrats were hammering Trump's Trump policies and
(30:20):
saying that the tariffs were going to be a disaster. Yes,
the fight on tariffs was happening. Interest rates, by the way,
have remained high. The President's been arguing over that with
a FED chair saying you got to bring them down.
They said that was going to dampen future investment and growth.
Part of the reason why people thought that the FED
chairman was doing it to not help Donald Trump but
(30:42):
to hurt him. So with a tariff war and with
high interest rates, you still have all the data that
I just gave you, So Yes, the US economy saw
a massive bounce back in Q two with GDP growth
driven by improved private consumption and investment because of Trump's
policies that was contrary to the idea of spending going
(31:04):
through the roof right that the left was like, will
never happen. So they were lying to you. Now did
they know they were lying to you? Yes? Were the
economic indicators there? Yes, the economic indicators were in fact there,
and it showed that this was a real thing that
was going to happen. And they didn't want it to happen.
(31:24):
They wanted to undermine the president. They wanted to undermine you,
the American worker. They wanted this to be a failure.
The failure didn't happen because the President of United States
of America said, I'm not flinching. I'm going to fix
the problem with the trade war. I'm going to stop
allowing countries to take advantage of us. I'm going to
bring in income in a way that you haven't seen
(31:45):
before with tariffs, and I'm not backing down. And that
is exactly what the President of the United States of
America did. Job well done, President Trump. And the most
important thing is this is great news for every American
that is out there don't forget share this podcast. Please
with your family and your friends wherever they are, and
(32:08):
I will see you back here tomorrow
