Gunman Left Online Manifesto w Anti-Trump & Anti-Israel Rhetoric · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: These parents. They want answers. Everyone wants to know why.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: There is no answer to the why. Nothing explains shooting
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: at children. We could bring in the world's foremost forensic psychiatrists. Okay,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: he was troubled. So if we are waiting on a why,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: then we're going to be unsatisfied. And where we direct
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: our energies and our emotions is to the trial. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: he deprived those parents of justice by taking his own life.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: They'll never get the answers that they want.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Good Thursday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update. And we've got one major
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: story that we're talking about. It is the horrific shooting
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: in Minneapolis at a Catholic school that has claimed the
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: lives of two children, an eight and a ten year old.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I want you to hear from what the FBI director
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: is saying about this now, making it very clear that
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: he believes this was a hate time. Yet the mayor
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, playing politics, refuses to say the same thing.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: We're also going to introduce you to that mayor and
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: what is he talking about right now? Not about the
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: transgender student and the radical left ideology that is quickly broken. No,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: he's now talking about gun control and saying that you
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have the right to go out and buy guns.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: This is what democrats are doing, using the tragedy to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: push a political agenda, and even Amy Klobuchar getting in
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: on the action, saying we don't even know what guns
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: were used yet or if certain laws can stop this
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: from happening, but she still wants the laws to be
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: passed anyway. But first, I want to talk to you
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: about my friends over at Patriot Mobile. You've got a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: lot of choices for cell phone service, with new ones
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: popping up all the time. But if you want to
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: make a difference and you want to stop giving your
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: money to liberal companies, well one way you can do
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: that is by getting rid of Liberal Mobile you probably
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: have right now. That is where hundreds of thousands of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Americans are now coming together and have made Patriot Mobile
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: what they are today. They've been in service now for
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: thirteen years, and right now is the best time ever
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to switch, because it's never been easier. Now, before I
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: tell you about that, I want you to know why
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: switching is so important because every time you make a call,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: every time you send a text, and every time that
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: you pay your bill, you're actually standing up for the
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: values you believe in. Your First and your Second Amendment rights,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the rights of unborn children. And you stand with our military,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: our veterans, our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Because Patriot Mobile takes about five percent of your bill
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: every month at no extra cost to you, and they
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: give it back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: can keep your same number, keep your saying phone, or upgrade.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: service team and literally they can now with technology, get
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: you activated in minutes from the comforty your home or
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: your office. You're second a contractor owe money on your phones,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: this is how we win, folks by aligning our spinning
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now, let

  Speaker 3: two Patriot. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: starts right now.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Story number one.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: There is one thing we are getting from the Trump
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: administration when it comes to the shooting in Minneapolis. It
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: is the FBI Director Caspittel saying the shooting is now
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: being investigated as a hate crime targeting Catholics. This is
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: something we did not get from the prior administration. The
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: FBI director used a post on x to make it
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: clear that the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting will be investigated
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: as a hate crime specifically targeting Catholics. It was reported
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: that the alleged shooter changed his name from Robert to
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Robin at seventeen years of age. Fox News correspondent Brooke
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Taylor reported that his mother signed off on the suspected
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: shooter's name changed from Robert to Robin. Yet again, another
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: transgendered individual shooting up a school. Police indicated the alleged
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: shooter used a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun to
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: carry out his attack on the church Wednesday morning. From
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: inside the church, He's shot through windows, striking children as
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: they sat in the pews during mass. As you know
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: at this point when I am recording this to children
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: have been killed, seventeen other individuals have been wounded. Patel
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: putting it on x saying updates on the shooting in Minneapolis.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: The FBI is investigating. The shooting is an active domestic
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics. There are two fatalities,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: an eight year old and a ten year old, in
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: addition to fourteen children and three adults that were injured.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: He went on to say after that quote, the shooter
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: has been identified is Robin Westman, a male born as
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Robert Westman. The FBI will continue to provide updates on
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: our ongoing investigation with the public as we are able now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: even CNN is having to admit that this was a radical.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Here is more of what they said about the shooter.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Breaking news. Admiration for mass shooters hatred of multiple groups,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: no sympathy for any victim is just some of what
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: the shooter in today's Catholic school massacre which he murdered
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: two children, reveals in video posted online videos that police
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: are scouring through right now for clues and answers about
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: the shooter, who has been identified as a twenty three
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: year old named Robin Westman. Brian Todd has the latest
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: on what we know about the shooter.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: The coward that shot these victims took his own life
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: in the rear of the church. That coward has been
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: identified as twenty three year old Robin Westman.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Westman seems to have left a series of online videos
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: which describe an obsession with school shootings and even named
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: other mass shooters, such as the twenty twelve Sandy Hook gunman,
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: the Columbine gunman, and the man who attacked the Tree
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: of Life Synagogue in twenty eighteen.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Here's my note to my family.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: The video also shows written statements and several guns painted
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: with slurs. In another clip, the speaker simply reads aloud
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: from a closed dryer, manual.
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: Dryer safety, Your safety and the safety of others are
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: very important.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Police say they also found a litany of writings.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Were also aware of a manifesto that the shooter had
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: time to be released on YouTube. This manifesto appeared to
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: show him at the scene and included some disturbing writings.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: That content has since been taken down with the assistance
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: of the FBI, and it now remains under active review
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: by our investigators.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Apparently part of the plan that the shooter seemed to
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: illustrate in those same videos on YouTube, a photo of
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: a slab of wood. An actual slab of wood was
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: found at the scene blocking a door from the outside.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Must be for the emergency exit pop it through the hands.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: According to social media posts, the shooter's mother worked at
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: the school from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: the shooter graduated from the school in twenty seventeen. The shooter,
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: now known as twenty three year old Robin Westman, identified
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: as a female and changed their name legally to Robin
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: from Robert in twenty twenty. The agency is investigating this
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: as an act of domestic terrorism and as a hate
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: crime targeting Catholics. Please, Chief Brian and O'Hara says, officials
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: there have not yet established enough of a motive to
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: charge it or to investigate it, Yes, as a hate crime.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Aaron, That is the part that's the most shocking. You
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: now have two very different narratives. You have clearly leadership
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and cashpital and the Trump administration calling this what it is,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and then you have local liberal police who are saying, no,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: we don't have enough to actually.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Look at this as a hate crime. Yet.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: The question I would ask is when will you have enough?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: As the Minneapolis police chief describing the attack on the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: mass as quote evil, noting that the worship service was
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: marking the first week of school for children that are
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: attending the Catholic school, He described the shooting as a
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: but won't call it a hate crime yet. If you
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: want to know what's wrong in this country, this is
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a perfect example of it. Democrats, even when evil is
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: steering them in the face, we'll refuse time and time
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: again to.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Call it exactly that.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: If there's one thing that is happening right now, it
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: is that Democrats are using this to push for gun control.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Amy Klobuchar said, I have long supported assault weapons ban,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: even before she knows what guns were even used. Many
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: others are also saying the same thing. Former White House
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Pressingcretary Jensaki breaking down in tears on MSNBC and then
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: the Minnesota mayor are saying, why is it that you
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: can buy a gun virtually every month if you wanted to,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: again blaming the gun instead of the transgendered person who
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: they decided to say that their mental health issues were
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: normal and decided that, you know, we're never going to
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: help them with their mental health, We're just going to
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: try to normalize it. Former FBI profiler said the shooter's parents, well,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: they're ones to blame as well, saying you help them
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: change their name. At seventeen, that's probably when the fuse
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: was lit.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Now, story number two.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: There's another part of the story about the trans Minnesota
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Catholic school shooter that the media is not covering. It
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: doesn't fit the narrative that they want this story to
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: be about, which is gun control, and we don't even
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: know what guns were even used yet, but they're calling
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: for it anyway. Well, here's the other part of the
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: story they're not talking about. This shooter had a YouTube
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: manifesto and it included vile anti Trump messages written on guns.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: The transgender gumman who opened fire during that mass at
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: the Minneapolis Catholic School had a YouTube channel that contained
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: his manifesto as well as the anti Trump rhetoric. A
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: senior Trump administration official has now confirmed that the now
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: deleted YouTube page belonged to the gunman. A video posted
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: by the gunman showed the manifesto in all of the
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: gunmen's weapons. One of the magazines contained the words kill
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, another one said where is Your God? And
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: another one Israel must fall. We're among the words written
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: on the gunman's magazines and the actual weapons. The person
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: who appears to have carried out that shooting, reported by
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: local news had it this way, posts a video showing
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the manifesto on the weapons and one of the magazines
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: they put the picture up kill Donald Trump. The shooter
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: also went to the Catholic school and hated people of faith.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: He was a Trump hater, a Jew hater, and he
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: appears to be a supporter of the Palestinian Islamic movement.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: The shooter also wrote Israel must fall and that was
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: just some of what we've seen in a post on
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: x As you know, Caspettel provided an update of the
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: shooting which he stated that two children, an eight and
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: a ten year old were killed. And it's by someone
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: that is anti Trump and anti Israel. So why is
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: the media not covering that? Why is the media also
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: not covering the fact that this was a transgendered shooter.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Yet again, the same issue we had in the Nashville
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: school shooting.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: There.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is a real problem and they're not covering it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: And that's the other issue, which is when will the
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: media start actually telling you the truth? When will the
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: media actually start asking the tough questions. Yes, we know
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: that the left loves pushing gun control when something like
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: this happens. The Minnesota mayor, for example, not talking about
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the mental health issue, not talking about the anti Jewish rhetoric. No,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: what was he talking about. He was talking about gun
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: control as well. Listen carefully again, and yet it does
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: What does.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That look like?
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, well, obviously from being a mayor
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: for some time in Minneapolis, that there are gun laws
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: in Minneapolis in Minnesota that other states don't have. But
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: there are some things that could still be done. Is
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: that something that you hope people in the legislature have
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: a will to do at this point in time.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: We have more guns in America than people. Say it again,
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: we have more guns in America than people. Why why
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: is it so easy to get a gun? Why is
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: it so easy to get a whole heap ton of guns?
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: Why is it that you can buy a gun virtually
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: every month if you wanted to?
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: What good is that?
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: We're not talking about your father's hunting rifle. We're talking
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: about people that have gotten guns that it seemingly, in
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: this case legally that obviously have a whole ton of
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: mental health issues. You're not right in the head. If
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: you're going to a church to shoot it up, you're
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: not right in the head. But the fact that you
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: have guns, in fact, many many guns.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Why is that? Okay?
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: You know this has gone down in other countries and
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: they say, you know what, We're not going to allow
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: this anymore. We're not we don't want this to happen anymore.
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: We're going to do something about it. It's got to
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: be out of love for our kids, a common kind
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: of humanity that you understand how deeply I love my
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: little girls. I've got an almost five year old four
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: and three quarters. She'd tell you, and I've got a
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: three week old and I many times today have thought
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: about the last things that I have said to her
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: before she went into school. And you know, you shove
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: these things off as you know, maybe even an annoyance,
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: Get out the door, put on your shoes, let's go,
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: here's your head band, come on. But there's also a
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: beauty to it in that I love her so dearly
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: and I want her to be able to experience the
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: school and her life safely. That's not too much to ask.
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: And the fact that we've seen these things happen again
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: and again throughout our country, what it tells me is
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: maybe we're not seeing these kids as our own. And
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: so that's my ask to people. Don't think about these
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: as just somebody else's kids. Think about them as if
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: they were your own.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: By the way, that same mayor, hours after that interview,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: going on the anti gun tirade, he is now facing
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: fierce backlash after attacking people of faith for offering prayers
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: during a press conference on a tragic shooting at the
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Catholic school. Critics now blasting the mayor's remarks as tone
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: death and callous and wake of violence. It's specifically targeted
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: children at worship, but at the news conference, the mayor declared, quote,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: These kids are literally praying. It was the first week
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: of school, they were in a church. These are kids
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: that should be learning with their friends. They should be
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: playing on playgrounds. They should be able to go to
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: school or church in peace without the fear or risk
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: of violence. So don't say it's about thoughts and prayers
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: right now. Wow, that is the mayor of a liberal
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: city that normalized a radical leftist who said kill Trump,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: kill the Jews, and killed the children that are Catholic.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And what do they focus on? Gun control?
