Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nashville Christian School shooter appears to be a former student.
The police chief has said the shooter has been identified
as Audrey Hale, twenty eight, of Nashville. According to the
chief of police, who said she identifies as transgender, this shooter,

(00:21):
Audrey Hale, was a biological female that identifies as he
him on the LinkedIn page. Authorities believe that this transitnor
shooter previously attended the school. The Instagram account she had
has been deleted. Creative Aiden, illustrator and graphic designer what

(00:41):
we know is NBC News has also confirmed the shooter
as Audrey Hale. This needs to be a discussion about
why are we advocating and supporting people who clearly are
dealing with a mental illness, encouraging that mental illness by
saying good for you, Timmy. Even though it's susy, it's

(01:02):
a mental health issue. We should be treating it as
a mental health issue. And this shooter, identifying as identified
as Audrey Hale, a twenty eight of Nashville, was a
woman who thought she was a man. That is tragic
in its own scenario. What's even more gut riching is
the fact that in America today we will encourage this

(01:23):
mental health issue and act like it is not an issue.
The Nashville Police Chief saying this earlier. Yes, we have
identified the suspect. That's a twenty eight year old female
white actually a Nashvillian or lives in the Nashville area.
We are have an ongoing investigation as it pertains to

(01:46):
her at this Sila where she lives. At your loss
is there we have what she went body armor can
say that far into the investigation. I don't remember saying it,
but I can't say for certain if he had body
onmar On or not. Did have any connection of the church.

(02:07):
From my initial findings is that at one point she
was a student at that school, but unsure what year
all of that, but that's what I've been told so far.
Social media or a hear at the difference for media
get examined at this point. The investigations are still going
going at this point, our federal partners, our state partners,

(02:29):
we're all looking into that to see exactly this is
still fluid at the time, but we're looking at everything.
There has to be a real conversation about this. There
has to be a conversation about the fact that in
America today, we are advocating supporting are the establishment the

(02:50):
media of biological females to identify as men. There needs
to be a conversation about what makes an individual clearly
with mental health issues. Heavily armed woman who says she's
a man gunned down three children in a case through
sixth school also murders three staff members at this Nashville

(03:11):
school on Monday. Former student of the private Christian school
at one point, she was a student at the school,
The Metrolodon police chiefs told reporters after the shooting at
the Covenant School in Nashville. The shooter was identified again
as Audrey Hale, twenty eight, of Nashville, according to the chief,
who said she identifies as transgender. There's no answers on

(03:32):
Monday afternoon, as multiple phone numbers NBC News reports listed
for Hale's mother and brother went unanswered. According to police,
Hall was armed with two assault style rifles and a
handgun when she was confronted by five officers. Two of
those opened fire and killed her. A car near the
shooting scene. How police determine who the shooter was, There
was a vehicle that was nearby. They gave us clues

(03:53):
as to who she was. The police chief said investigators
are combing through her home now. Police tactical and it's
her spotty using a grenade like device to get inside
the house, which is listed at Hale's residence. This is
a great family and it's a tragedy, a neighbor said.
Investigators also looking to how the shooter got into the school.
Doors are usually locked on the campus. Officials said how

(04:15):
exactly she got in at this point is still under investigation.
The chief praise the officers were taking on the shooter immediately,
say it could have been far, far worse. This is
not normal. It is not normal. I want to make
this very clear. It is not normal for us to
do what we've been told that we must do, which

(04:36):
is except anybody who believes in anything or anything that
deals with sexuality. That's not normal. It's not normal to
try to radicalize kids by teaching them about cross dressing,
to teach them about gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and all
these other sexual things at such young ages. It is

(04:57):
not normal to take your child to a sexually explicit show,
a drag show. This is not normal, and there is
evil in this country who want to exploit young people.
There is evil in this country that want you to

(05:18):
believe that this is somehow normal, and clearly it is
not normal. It is a mental health issue. I genuinely,
I've said this before. I have massive compassion for anyone
that deals with mental health issues. I think we need
to get rid of the stigma around mental health issues.
I think we need to do everything that we can
to make it clear that mental health issues need to

(05:42):
be dealt with across the board in a very very
careful way. But we don't need to normalize mental health
issues either. I have compassion for an individual that believes
that they are trapped in the opposite sex. I can't
imagine living thinking that you are actually the opposite sex.
That is horrific. But the reality is we don't normalize

(06:05):
it because when we do, there's still a mental health
issue there. And I think that's clear today, there's still
a mental health issue there. You have someone that was
mentally unstable. They decided that the best thing they could
do was go and kill innocent children. Today we see
over and over again in these school shootings it's a
mental health issue. It's different ones. By the way, almost

(06:26):
every time it goes back to mental health issues. But
you don't normalize and don't try to normalize mental health
issues instead of getting the people the help that they need.
And what we've decided to do in this country is say, oh,
it's not a problem. We should advocate in advance and support.
If a woman wants to claim they're a man, we

(06:48):
should treat them as such. I will never do that
doesn't mean I mean, in fact, I think it shows
some compassion because I'm saying, clearly you need some help.
I hate that for you. You need help. I'm not
judging you. I'm not angry with you. I don't dislike you.
But this is a mental health issue. And we see
many different categories of mental health issues at these school shootings.

(07:11):
And what we see is it's not just a normal
person that does these things. It's someone that's struggling with
a mental health issue. Someone that's bipolar, made it depressant.
It's someone that's dealing with sexuality and who they are, right,
It's someone there's a multitude of things that we have
seen with these mental health issues. And we live in

(07:32):
a world now that tells everybody, oh, just act like
it's all normal. Love is love, right, everything's the same,
do what you want to do, be who you want
to be. It doesn't affect anybody else that did today.
Some people are going to criticize me, saying this is
too soon to have this conversation, and I would respond
to you know, it's not. This is exactly when we
have this conversation, when we're all in shock, because this

(07:52):
is what happens when you try to normalize something that
is not normal. It is not normal to allow young
people who claim they're the opposite sex to go into
the opposite sex's bathroom. That's not normal. It is not
normal for the President the United States of America to
give out an award on National Women's Day to a dude.

(08:14):
That's what happened at the White House this year. That
is not normal. It is not normal to have a
guy who's in charge of our government in the Health
Department who is a man dressing like a woman. That's
not normal. It's not normal to have a transgendered individual
at the White House working there that steals women's luggage
and gets fired for it because it's clearly a mental

(08:35):
health issue. That's not normal. But this administration, there is
a culture war in this country. Happening right now, and
there are good and evil, and the side of evil
is winning more often the side of good because there's
too many Conservatives, and there are too many Christians, and
there are too many people that are not willing to
stand up for what they believe in. It is not

(08:56):
normal what they're trying to do to our children in
this country. It's never normal, by the way, to send
you to put a young child into a drag queen
queen show. We have drag Queen hours happening all of
the country. And why are they doing it to normalize it?
They're doing it to normalize it. We can live in
this world where we sit here and we live in

(09:20):
this evil moment of up is down and down is up,
and left is right and right is left. We can
live in a world where we try to accept everyone
and everything and every radical, extreme idea and normalize it.
And if we do, what's going to happen is we're
going to fail, and there are consequences, and we are

(09:42):
living in those consequences right now. We are living in
those times right now. You can relate this to every
radical idea we've had in this country that's been a
failure in recent years, defund the police. Look at the
Black Lives Matter campaign. It was nothing but a corporate
grab of money and a few people got rich and

(10:03):
the black community was never helped. Anybody going to investigate that, right,
but it was Black lives matter and billions of dollars
were given from corporations and shakedowns. Where did the money go?
We'll move on from that. We don't want to talk
about that, right because we have to get woke and
be Black lives matter. Somebody could have asked a question,
where the hell's all the money going? We know now
it was billions of dollars, billions of dollars that was

(10:25):
shaped down from these corporations because all these corporations are like,
all right, we'll virtue signal with you. Part of that
movement was defund the police. How's that worked out? In
every single city where defund the police has happened? In
every single city where they have had prison reform, bail reform,
basically lawless is what's happened. More people have died, specifically minorities.

(10:49):
If you care about black lives matter, okay, if you
care about black lives matter, then you would stand out
for black lives that are being murdered in cities every
single day where they have defunded and undermine the police,
undermined law and order, underminded sanity. Sexuality is where the
Democrats have gone all in. They want to indoctrinate your

(11:12):
kids in school as a very young age to be
gay or lesbian, or transgender or bisexual. They don't want
your kid to just be straight, right. They don't want
your kid to just date the opposite sex only. They
want them to experiment. They want them to be by curious.
They want them to grow up in this form of evil.

(11:36):
And we're too afraid to call it that because we
don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. We're too afraid to
be honest about what this is because we don't want
to hurt anybody's feelings. Why would we ever hurt someone's feelings.
We don't want to do that, so we just say nothing. Right,
everybody just wants to get along. We are normalizing serious

(11:57):
mental health issues. We are normalizing serious mental health problems.
And when you see today the news break in Nashville
that a guy that a girl that identified as a
guy went back to her traditional value school where she
attended and decided her best option was to kill innocent

(12:18):
children and three teachers, three staff members. It is going
to go back to mental health. You look at almost
every one of these mass shooting school shootings, there's drug abuse. Marijuana.
We've normalized that though, right, because smoking weeds totally normal now, Right,
we've given in on that. Well, it's no different than alcohol,

(12:40):
that's the argument. Right. Well, it's at least I'm not
driving around killing somebody drunk. Right, that's the other argument.
We've heard a lot of different arguments. We've normalized it. Now,
weeds everywhere. Right, we've lost the battle, the left one, right,
the latter radical left one. Now we've got a bunch
of kids walk around who are addicts, but they're not
addicts because we've changed the definition of what an addict is.

(13:02):
We've normalized it. Right, it's totally cool to eat edibles.
And then we've let them pervert the drugs. Right, it's
no longer smoking actual weed. No, No No, we'll put it
in gummies, We'll put it in brownies. We'll put it
in edibles, because that's how you get people hooked, right, Right,
we put them in we put them in edibles, and

(13:25):
then bam, now we're in a great spot. Now. Now,
now we can really suck in young people into drug addiction.
We also know that marijuana is a gateway drug. There's
no denying it. There's multiple studies that have been put
out there, even by liberal universities and doctors who said
that absolutely smoking weed is a gateway into other hardcore drugs,

(13:49):
and those that deal the drugs they know that too.
So let's get them hooked on weed and then at
some point they'll get bored or numbed to it, and
then they're going to need something else, and we'll be
killing their brain cells the entire time. And then we'll
get them hooked on some other stuff, some harder stuff,
and then we'll own them for the rest of their
lives because they'll be a slave to our drugs. Right,

(14:11):
there'll be a slave to us. We're going to own them. Folks.
This is evil And people are gonna say, Ben, this
is not the time to have this conversation. Yes it is.
This is the time to have this conversation. We should
have been having this conversation a lot sooner than now,
but people are too afraid of offending somebody. Oh I
don't want to offend anybody. Hi, That's the last thing

(14:31):
I want to do. Ben. I don't want someone to
be upset with me. I don't want to hurt somebody's feelings.
I'm just gonna stay in my lane and work the
other way. Well, they're not staying in their lane, and
I'm talking about those who are advocating for this evil.
They're not staying in their lane. They're coming after your children,
and they're trying to indoctrinate your children. And they're trying
to tell your children that their radical ways of life

(14:52):
are completely normal, and they are not. But that's what
they're coming to tell you. That's what they're saying to you.
There's also another problem here, and it deals with guns.
And I'm not talking about gun control, even though Biden
wants more gun control. We know that there's this much
evil in the world. Why are we not advocating for

(15:14):
more armed resource officers at schools public or private? Because
this Nashville Christian school had no armed resource officers. Gun
free zones don't work. It takes a good guy with
a gun, just like these police officers that showed up
in Nashville to take her out to save the day.
Every time it's a good guy with a gun that's

(15:34):
going to stop a bad guy with a gun. Of course,
the media will not cover this at all. They will
not cover the mental health issues here. Local law enforcement
in Nashville has confirmed that the shooter is a biological
female that identifies as trans. They said this in their
press conference. They will bury this story just like they

(15:56):
did at the Polst night club. They will marry this
problem that we have with mental health issues, just like
we saw in Wisconsin. Both of those dealt with the
same issues, the mental health issues that we've tried to
normalize in sexuality because of people on the left who

(16:16):
are hell bent on normalizing mental health issues. When you
believe that you're the opposite sex, that is not normal
and it should be treated as a mental health issue.
It should not be embraced. And I've said this before,
I'll say it again. People are gonna be like, well, Ben,
today's not day to talk about then when is the
day to talk about this? To quote all those in
the left, thoughts and prayers are no longer enough. Why

(16:37):
aren't we telling the truth about what's happening here? Because
there's one thing that's consistent with these school shooters. There
are mental health issues. Now let's talk about the gun
aspect of this needs to be talked about as well.
Why are we allowing our kids to be so vulnerable?
Covenant School, with the Christian school where an attacker killed

(16:58):
three students Monday, did not have an armed resource officer
on campus when the attack occurred. John Roberts the Fox
News noted that during live coverage of this shooting at
the Nashville area Covenant School, Nashville Police spokesman indicay the
attacker was a young woman who appeared to be in
her teens, armed with multiple firearms. We now know that

(17:19):
she was older than that. Roberts said, there was no
school resource officer president at the school. It's a private school.
It doesn't employ anybody from the National Police Department to
look after the school. There were no armed resource officers,
by the way, at Denver East High School when a
seventeen year old student shot two staff members on Wednesday,
Denver Public School superintendent responded by announcing two armed resource

(17:42):
officers would be placed on campus after they already had
two people there that were killed. But you gotta understand
there's good and evil, right, So what does the president say.
White House Press Secretary came out swinging today Biden wants
Congress to pass more gun control. The White House Press
Secretary didn't miss right a moment because never let a
crisis go to waste, demanding that America listen to the

(18:06):
president and the Biden presidency wants Congress to pass more
gun control after an attacker shot and killed three students
at the National Area Covenant School, they want this. During
this press conference, she referenced the gun control that Senator
John Cordon, a Republican from Texas, worked with Democrats to
secure in the summer of twenty twenty two, but stress

(18:26):
that Biden wants Congress to act to pass even more
gun control. He said, he wants Congress act because enough
is enough. How many more children have to be murdered
before Republicans and Congress will step up and act to
pass the assault weapons ban, to close loopholes in our
background check system, or or to the require the safe
storage of guns. She added, we need to do something.

(18:50):
By the way, the majority of time we're finding out
when these shootings happened, it's the guns were bought legally,
owned legally. These background checks were not a problem. Everything
was actually done the right way. You have to understand
stand they don't care about saving kids' lives. If they did,
they'd talk about armed resource officers. If we care about
kids and we need to protect kids, and we need

(19:11):
to have people at each and every school in America
that are there to protect them with a firearm, because
every time these shootings go down, the first thing people
ask for is police officers to be there with firearms.
And New Valley, Texas in the school shooting there, we
saw on camera. Unfortunately the chief of police there was
not telling those guys to go forward and take out
that shooter while he was still killing people in that school.

(19:34):
We need teachers, if they're willing to carry a firearm,
that's what we need to do. We need teachers and
those that work in a school administrators. If they want
to carry a firearm and go through training, we should
allow them to do it. Because we're also we know
what they do every single time they're school shooting. They

(19:55):
use their bodies as human shields and they do whatever
they can do to protect their kids from dying. We
see here come out of every single one of these strategies.
We see the most brave men and women who will
do anything to protect their students. When these school shootings happen,
the teachers are not running away, They're protecting their children.
So why don't we let them protect their children? But

(20:16):
the left has already said no, no no, and more guns
to the schools would keep You know, we have signs
up and say gun free zones, and we do, and
every time someone decides to break that rule, they win.
The gun free zones have never won in our schools.
Every single time a bad actor comes in and a
bad actor decides to challenge a gun free zone, guess

(20:37):
what happens. The bad actor wins and we lose more children.
Do I think, by the way, that guns are the
only answers solution? No, because I'm not an idiot, but
I think it's as stupid to not have resource officers
and anyone at that school that wants to go through
extra training, who wants to do I want to make

(20:57):
this clear because this is where people pervert this conversation.
I do not want anyone to carry a gun to
the school that doesn't want to carry a gun. I
do not want anyone forced to carry a firearm who
doesn't want to carry a firearm. I want to make
that clear. It's sad that I have to say that
every single time we have this conversation. But every single
time I have this conversation, I'll get a bunch of
crazies that will be like, well, how dare you demand
a teachers carry firearms? They there to teach reading, writing,

(21:19):
and arithmetic. They're not there to be police officers. They
want to be a police officers. They would have signed
up to be a police officer. I signed up to
teach kids how to read and write and do arithmetic.
Well a lot of them, a lot of these schools,
they suck at doing that. So I wouldn't want you
to carry a gun because you can't even do that
part well in our public schools because the teachers unions
don't care. They just want to get paid. It's another

(21:40):
part of this problem we have to talk about, and
I'll deal with that part another day, but I'll go
back to this point. Now. My children go to school
where the first thing and the number one thing I
care about is their safety. And I made sure they
are to school that where there are people there multiple

(22:02):
people there that are armed. I don't care if they're
full time police or if they are or if they
are teachers and administrators, the more the merrier. If there's
fifty guns on campus, I will sleep better at night.
If there's a hundred on campus, I will sleep better
at night. That was a priority for me. We should

(22:23):
make it a priority for every public school in America
because not everybody can afford to go to a private school,
and our kids should be safe. And this is a
private school today that did not have a resource officer.
I guarantee you that's going to change now. It shouldn't.
We shouldn't wait until a school shooting happens at the
actual school to change that. I want to make that also,
very very very very clear. Right, we shouldn't wait to

(22:46):
that point. We should be able to protect our kids.
And for Biden to come out and be like, oh,
we're going for the guns and the other part that
was weird as it came downstairs, and it also just
tells you a lot about this president. This audio is rough. Okay,
this audio is rough, and I'm going to play it
for you in a second. But the President comes down

(23:08):
talking about coming down for ice cream at an event
instead of talking about the worst nightmare for parents today.
He got to that point later. I do also want
to go back to one other thing, this radicalization of
transgenderism in this country, and you look at what's happened
with sports swimmer Riley Ganes slammed ESPN for honoring an arrogant,

(23:31):
cheap trans athlete and Leah Thomas and Women's History Month
special as Thomas denies he's transitioned to win and says
I didn't have any other choice. They're celebrating this at
the White House. They gave away recently an award to
a Woman of the Year that was actually a dude
dressed like a chick. We have health experts under this

(23:52):
White House. I'll say it again that our dudes dressed
like chicks of all the deserving female athletes in this country. ESPN,
just to think about the propaganda here, decided to honor
Leah Thomas, a dude, a cheater who couldn't make it
with the men and a man, and celebrate it a

(24:13):
dude in Women's History Month. But if you put your
kids in front of ESPN, now they're going to see
this filth. Maybe it's time to change the channel. Maybe
it's time to see these corporations go broke. Maybe it's
time to understand something. That's your job to protect your children,
protect your children from this type of evil and stand

(24:33):
up to it. Don't and again you're gonna If you're
offending people, you're probably doing something right. I've gotten to
the point now where I walk around and I walk
around and people come up to me and they get
in my face. People are more in my face now
they've ever been in my career. And that's how I

(24:55):
honestly know that I'm making a difference. I'm not gonna
sit here and watch people will do this to this
country and to abuse children and to try to teach
them that being anything but just straight or gay is
what you want to do. Okay, I'm just not going
to do that. I'm not going to sit here and
tell my kid that it's normal for a dude to

(25:15):
swim with chicks. I'm not going to sit here and
tell my sons to celebrate men who are being named
Women of the Year in sports at the White House
being given award. I'm not going to tell my sons
that it's normal for them to want to wear a
dress and wear a dress and to become a woman.
You cannot become a woman if you're a man. It's

(25:37):
called playing dress up, but you're actually still a dude.
And when you do this, okay, when you do this,
I want to be clear about this. When you do this,
what happens is it's a ticking time bomb. You're not
doing anybody any favors. You're not doing any one any favors.

(26:02):
I want to play for you what the President did
have to say. After he talked about ice cream for
literally a minute or two, then he got over the
podium and then he started reading from his remarks. Here's
what he had to say. I just want to speak
very briefly about the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. You know,
Ben and I have been doing this our whole careers,
it seems, and it's just it's sick. You know. We're

(26:28):
still gathering the facts of what happened and why, and
we do know that as of now, there are a
number of people who are not going did not make it,
including children. It's heartbreaking, a family's worst nightmare. And I
want to commend the police who responded credibly swiftly within

(26:49):
minutes and the danger. We're monitoring the situation really closely, Ben,
as you know, and we have to do more to
stop gun violence. It's in our communities apart, ripping a
soul of this nation, ripping it the very soul of
the nation. And we have to do more to protect
our schools so they aren't turned into prisons. You know.

(27:10):
A shooter in this situation reported we had two assault
weapons and a pistol to eight GA forty seven. So
I call on Congress again to pass my assault weapons ban.
It's about time that we began to make some more progress,
but there's more to learn. But I just wanted to
send my concern and hearts out to so many parents

(27:34):
out there. I've been to so many of these sites,
as Ben knows, by virtually everyone. And one of the
things you folks should, I know, you do know what
you should focus on, you know, just like when in
the military, my son was in Iraq for your other places.
You's so many members of the military coming back a

(27:59):
post traumatic st after witnessing the violence and participating it. Well,
these children, these teachers there should be should be focusing
on their mental health as well. And so I'm grateful anyway,
sorry to start off that way, but I couldn't begin
without and acknowledging what happened, President certainly didn't mind immediately

(28:23):
going into pushing for gun control. By the way, he
doesn't know and background checks. He doesn't know if she
did or did not have a background check. Okay, he
doesn't know if she had multiple weapons. He doesn't know
what weapons were used. The point that he made that statement,
but it doesn't matter because they're going to push their

(28:45):
agenda every single time they have an opportunity, and this
was that moment, and this was that moment where there
was an opportunity to do it, and he was going
to take it. They're not backing down, by the way,
have you noticed this, Like they're not backing down. Okay,
like they're they're gonna keep going forward. They're gonna keep

(29:06):
pushing no matter what. They're not gonna stop, and they're
gonna doctrinate your children if you don't stand up and
protect them
