The active shooting incident beginning at 12.30 p.m. Eastern time. Under one hour ago, this is still being described as an active shooter situation. An alert has gone out there in Bloomfield, Michigan. The state police is asking for the community members there to stay away from the area to allow the police to respond. Troopers are also increasing patrols at other places of worship in this district. The address there describes Temple Israel, which according to their website, describes themselves as the
nation's largest reform synagogue on their website. But again, the police are on the scene.
You're looking live West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. We've got Bill Daly on the phone.
Bill, we're just starting to get some early details here, but it appears an active shooter situation,
sadly, at a synagogue there in Michigan. Okay, so I believe we can add this to the list.
Now we're at five total events over the past couple of years going all the way back to last New
years, which is New Orleans, and then you go into Austin and D.C. and New York City and now the
synagogue. I mean, come on, people, we just need to wake up here. I think a lot is happening that we don't
agree with in this country, but to take violence into our own hands is always the coward way out.
And they have not released the information regarding the suspect. We do not know his motives yet.
They say the active shooter alert has actually, it's over with now, according to some reports.
We'll get to that.
Let me show you this different view.
This is from the point of view of a helicopter
showing you the smoke that's inside
after the vehicle essentially ran into the building
and then things caught on fire
and then the shooting took place.
Watch.
Are we seeing that smoke on the roof?
But we're seeing heavy smoke coming out of the entryway,
one of the entryway doors of the synagogue.
So this just goes to show, you know, something has got to be going on in there,
some sort of fire.
That looks like a very accurate.
It does. It's a big building. So obviously it doesn't look like it's billowing yet, but the way it's coming out of the side there, it definitely would appear that multiple locations inside are likely on fire. That is a stronger smoke than what we saw earlier. So again, we've been showing these images in a little bit of a delay because again, we're trying to protect the law enforcement what they're doing and how they're doing it. Because you don't want to be providing all of that information just yet. And the other troubling thing is now
I guess the Jewish community, particularly these synagogues, have been called to actually shut down and shelter because they're unsure if more tax will come.
I mean, just having to say that out loud is truly disturbing.
Our society is essentially experiencing something that we need to address like yesterday.
Now, some you're going to probably hear say, yeah, this is all because of the president and the conflict in Iran.
And people who support the president will say what he's going to say, which is, listen, millions.
of people came across the border unvetted. We still don't know who they are every single one of them.
We're still trying to track them down. And they have the ability to carry out attacks like this
on our soil. So it's something that needs to be dealt with. I think that's what you're going to hear.
But let's go to this notice from Fox News regarding all Jewish organizations nationwide need to shelter.
Watch. We're also hearing that the Jewish Federation of Detroit is asking all Jewish organizations
to go into, quote, lockout protocol, I guess out of an abundance of caution just in case somebody
else were to be targeting a synagogue somewhere else either in the state or somewhere else across
the country.
Yeah, John, what you can see in the live pictures that there is just a massive police presence
there around Temple Israel, dozens of police cars are present from all types of agencies
and departments there in the area.
The aerial pictures of that Temple Synagogue show smoke coming out of the billing.
And police sources have told our local affiliate, WJBK, that they believe a car or a truck slammed into Temple Synagogue.
And then at that point, that is when the gunshots started.
Now, the good news is according to what they're reporting in this very moment of us doing this video,
the shooter was burned, I guess, badly in the actual fire.
He perhaps might actually be dead.
Again, there's not 110% confirmation on that, but that's what they're essentially alluding to.
So before I say anything else, let's actually hear the Fox News talk about that. Watch.
So we just have now from Bill Malooge in the following reporter.
Senior law, federal law enforcement confirms our reporting that the suspect is dead.
Additionally, told the suspect's body is badly burned.
He was killed by armed security.
Bill is told that he ran the car into the building, had a rifle, got into a shootout with security who killed him.
The car was on fire inside, and that would obviously be the source of the smoke coming out of that building.
So it would appear now that the immediate threat to the synagogue is over, but now we're dealing with the aftermath of making sure that that fire gets out, clearing the smoke from the building.
So bottom line here, the good news is sounds like nobody was killed except the gunman himself.
children were not in school because there's a K through 12 school there at that synagogue.
And three, we as a country, remain resilient, especially as a community.
And obviously, gratitude to the local authorities and the FBI, obviously, responding as quickly as they did.
Bad news is a lot of unbedded people continue to be in this country.
And it's on this administration to figure it out.
I mean, that's exactly what the American people will remember.
when these events took place, it happened under the Trump administration.
So let's hope, and I believe they are, tracking these criminals down, these terrorists down, and dealing with them.
All right, let's go to the actual local authorities.
They just held the press conference confirming the updated information about this attack.
Take a listen.
Guys, can you say anything about any potential casualties?
Anyone hurt?
Nobody at the moment has been confirmed to be hurt, except potentially the shooter.
Any ties potentially to terrorism with the president?
That's still way early to talk about.
We have no idea because we don't even know who the person is at the moment.
Has that person been neutralized?
We don't have that person in custody.
So that's still on the run?
It's a work in progress.
So that's why we're sheltering in place until we figure it out.
It's a big facility with a lot of land around it until that gets secured and everybody's comfortable that there's no active threat
in that spot, stay away from it, shelter in place.
We're told there's a daycare for all those kids out.
Yeah, everybody's been moved out of the school.
We've got a ton of people here.
As I said, West Pumfield got on scene in a heartbeat.
Everybody else came from everywhere.
Actually, Chief and I have been communicating for almost two weeks.
Every time I've gotten some intelligence from the national level, I've been sharing.
We've been talking for two weeks about the potential, sadly, of this happening.
there was no lack of preparation.
In addition, all Jewish facilities in the area
are going to have a lot of extra presence around it
until we figure this out.

Right.
I guess speaking of terrorism, we might as well just go to this next update.
and this is coming from the new supreme leader of the country of Iran, who he's a little stubborn, if you guys haven't caught on by now.
Here's his latest statement.
They're saying it's his first official public statement where he's not backing down whatsoever.
Take a listen.
Yeah, Dana, good morning.
We're just getting this in right now.
On Iranian state media, a presenter read a new statement from Iran's new supreme leader,
Mostabakh, Haminae, and Reuters is reporting a few highlights from those remarks.
saying that the Supreme Leader said in the statement,
we believe in friendship with neighbors and only target the bases,
and we will inevitably continue.
That is not true.
We know that many Gulf countries have had their residential and civilian infrastructure attacked.
Now, Iran's new Supreme Leader in this statement goes on to say all U.S. bases should immediately
be closed in the region, and those bases will be attacked.
He also says in the statement, again, that was presented on state media.
He does not appear in the statement that he calls on unity among the people.
of Iran and participation in Kuds Day. Now, Kuds is the Arabic word for Jerusalem,
and this day normally falls on the last Friday of Ramadan. And so if my math is correct here,
that would be March 20th of this year, the last Friday of Ramadan, when traditionally we have
seen Iranian proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah launch attacks and also large demonstrations in the region.
And so this is certainly something to look out for in the days ahead. But again, this is the
first statement that we are receiving from Iran's new supreme leader, Mustafa Haminae. He speaks
about the attacks on Gulf countries. Also says that he will target U.S. bases in the region.
All right. Let's just take a break here briefly and discuss this important reminder.
Because whether we're talking about what's happening in Iran or Bloomfield, Michigan,
with this latest attack, don't forget about your financial future. This is why precious metals
investing is a smart play given what experts have been screaming about,
regarding gold and silver, still on a bull run technically.
Now, if you want to be educated on that by people you can actually trust,
speak to my friends at Lear Capital.
They'll explain everything about purchase metals investing
and how it could fit into your own financial future.
Their education first, even if it's not good for you
or it doesn't fit your particular situation, they'll tell you that.
All you have to do is give them a call.

That is 1-800-9-8-3-88 or just scan.
and the QR code, they'll take you to Lear Devorey.com. And if you mention me, you could not only
qualify for up to 15,000, but 20,000. And bonus gold or silver would a qualified purchase. Give
Lear Capital a call today. So bottom line up front, this new Supreme Leader sounds just like his father.
He has no intention of stopping or surrendering or finding compromise. In fact, he's so hell-bent on
moving forward that he has instructed the United States of America to close its military bases
because he will plan to attack them. He also went on to say that the trade of Hermos will remain
closed. This is in an effort to apply pressure, as you guys heard, to the enemy. I mean,
this stuff is, it's really interesting. But again, this is why I try to tell people that the
Middle East, their paradigm, a country like Iran being operated by those particular
leaders, they think differently than Americans. They're not looking for diplomacy. They're willing to
die for this, essentially. Now, let's hear more on his statement. Take a listen. And then also talks about
the Strait of Hormuz. This is an interesting part here. And again, we are just getting these highlights
from Reuters watching state media in Iran. They're first coming out, of course, in Farsi. And
Iran's new Supreme Leader goes on to say the closure of the Strait of Hormuz should be continued
as a tool to quote, pressure the enemy. And so the rhetoric that we are hearing from Iran's new
Supreme Leader is quite similar to his father's rhetoric. Remember, Iran's former Supreme
Leader was taken out in the opening strikes of Operation Epic Fury when this war began. And in those
opening strikes, Mushabahamanaie's wife, mother, and one son were also killed. Again, the latest
remarks, though, that we are getting from the Supreme Leader via state media, and we are quoting
Reuters here indicate that he will continue ordering the attacks on U.S. bases in the region
and continue efforts to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Now what's fascinating about his statement, he claims that he's looking for unity, as you
guys can see here on the screen, but he continues to attack his neighbors.
I don't know how that is supposed to, I guess, work.
Secondly, he's going to avenge his family.
I mean, I think that is a given based on what we know at this point.
This is why when you decide to do something like this, you've got to finish it.
Okay.
You cannot leave any stone unturn, any part of this existing regime to continue.
You must erase it essentially.
If not, then they will rise up again.
I mean, that's just common sense.
I think history has shown us, which is why on one hand, a lot of people don't like this.
Because this is how it ends up dragging on if they can't get it done.
Now, again, what is this?
Day nine.
if I'm correct on my math.
So it's not like we've been at this for a year.
All right.
Let's go to the opposing view.
And this is really interesting.
And I'm not really going to play it all.
I just want to make you guys aware of it.
So you saw how Fox News reported this, right?
Now I want you to see what CNN did.
Instead of just reading the statement,
they played the actual video from Iran's state media.
Look at this.
Mushaba Khomeini,
the leader of the Islamic Republic,
in their first public speech addressing the great nation of Iran and the brave fighters of Iran,
the fatalities.
Yeah, I mean, I think whoever is in charge of CNN when it comes to this particular story,
they just can't get it right.
I mean, usually they don't get anything right technically.
But how they've been handling this story and also what happened.
in New York City, I mean, someone should be fired. And just in my own personal opinion,
I just don't understand why you would play the video. I don't know. Maybe I'm, I guess,
partisan on this particular issue. But let's go to obviously the different perspective. Now,
this is coming from Mike Walts. Here's his update about what's happening. Take a listen.
Aaron, all now standing strong. They are all uniformly, I got to tell you, and talking to them
a personal level, furious, outraged. And the fact that Iran is hitting hotels, resorts,
ports, their shipping, you know, all of those, their airports, all of those civilian
infrastructure has them squarely aligned with the United States. And if you look at it,
it's really kind of the Abraham Accords Coalition that's now in action and now it's unified.
And the other important thing yesterday, sorry, is both China and Russia, Fair Weather Friends
that they are, they abstained.
They backed away, they didn't oppose it,
and they could have, they could have vetoed.
Now, Mike Walsh is talking about the UN council meeting
that took place yesterday.
And the big takeaway from that meeting
is that a lot of the Gulf states, like he said,
are now in alignment with the United States of America.
And the reason why it's pretty clear,
I mean, there's no reason for Iran
to attack these other countries.
They did it, I guess, despite those countries
or Israel and America,
but it doesn't seem like it's actually working out
them in that regard. And then you heard a statement about China and Russia. Now, the reason why so many
people have, I guess, skewed opinions about what's going on is because they listen to mainstream
media. I'm going to show you an example of this. Listen to the reporting from ABC this morning called
Good Morning America. Watch it for yourself. And Mary, you've been covering the president's
mixed messages on the war that continued yesterday. Yeah, it certainly did look. The president is well aware
that the economy is still top of mind for voters,
that these rising gas prices pose a real political problem for him.
And yesterday he was out, he hit the road,
and he tried to paint a rosier picture,
downplaying those concerns about rising costs,
but he is still sending those mixed messages
about how long this war is going to last.
This morning, as the war with Iran sends gas prices skyrocketing,
President Trump trying to assure Americans,
that pain at the pump will be short-lived.
Speaking to supporters in Kentucky, Trump declaring victory.
We've won. Let me say we've won. You know, you never like to say too early you won. We won. We won the bet. In the first hour, it was over. We won. But just minutes later, we don't want to leave early, do we? We got to finish the job, right?
For the first time since starting this war, the president hitting the road to tout his economic agenda ahead of the midterms.
Aware Americans remain focused on rising costs at home and gas prices at the pump, Trump repeatedly calling the conflict.
in the Middle East, which has killed seven American soldiers and wounded some 140 others,
both a war and a little excursion.
Do you guys following what I'm saying here?
I mean, they, I was just thinking about it yesterday.
The reason why so many people feel the way that they do about the president is not because
they've met him in person, not because they know him, not because they've done any research,
but they listen to networks like that.
They've been in the business of skewing public opinion longer than I've been a lot.
So they're masters at this at this point.
Now, the good news is, obviously, people have access to alternative media.
And if you're watching this show, that's a prime example of it.
But not everybody does.
People are still waking up in the morning.
They turn on that particular show, and that's what they hear.
So what else would they actually think?
Well, that's the problem.
They're not thinking.
But I thought I'd show you guys that.
All right.
Let's go to our next update.
And this one's an interesting one.
I think you guys will probably get a kick out of this.
So there is a Democrat who, besides Al Green, has introduced more, you know, articles of impeachment for the entire cabinet than anybody else.
He's leading up the bill to essentially abolish ICE.
It's called the Abolish Ice Act.
Take a listen.
You are protesting a new ICE facility in your district.
Just yesterday, there was an arrest of illegal immigrants in Michigan for drug, gun, and child pornography.
charges. You had an illegal alien from Venezuela today arrested in charge after assaulting a
federal agent and grabbing his gun while resisting arrest. You have a number of other cases in
Michigan where these violent criminal aliens have been out on the streets and ICE is there to
take them away and yet you are trying to introduce legislation to abolish ICE and you don't
want facilities to keep these criminals off the streets. Explain that. Well, look, only 14%
of those detained by ICE have any kind of criminal.
record. So they are detaining, Trump has given them a daily quota of 3,000 detainees, 3,000
arrest. I have to stop it there because I want to make sure you heard his statement properly.
He said only 14% of the people being detained are actual criminals. So it sounds like that is a
success then, right? I mean, that means we're removing, according to his logic, 14% of the criminals
off the streets. Isn't that keeping the community safe? No. But see, he wants to go out there
and abolish ice, which essentially erases the 14%. That's what I'm saying. When they argue this stuff,
it's so easy to essentially break in half because it's not rooted in common sense. Common sense
would tell you whether it's 1%, 10%, 14%, 17%. Doesn't matter who says what. If you're removing a certain
percentage of criminals off the streets, that is a net positive. Now, they come back and they say,
well, DeVore, that means they're also arresting people who don't have crimes. Well, I don't care
about that either. You know why? They're in the country unlawfully. Of course they would arrest them.
I mean, what do you want them to do? Continue to let people who've been unvetted or people are in the
country unlawfully? No, we have laws. And if we don't want them to do that, then you got to change it. But they
won't, as you guys know. All right, let's continue to hear this nonsense. And the way they're doing
it is going to Home Depot parking lot. Now, they're not going to find, you know, gang members and
rapists at Home Depot parking lots or schools or courtrooms. So look, only only 14% had any
kind of criminal record. A mother of three. Is it worth it to risk it for the 14% who have violent
records and child pornography charges? Well, look, look, very, very, very.
is no doubt that the hardened criminals, gang members, the rapists need to be deported.
But this- Where should they sleep once they get arrested if they don't have a facility because
you're boycotting it and trying to get it not built? Where are they going to sleep?
Well, they don't have a plan. They don't have judicial warrants.
No, he doesn't have a plan. I don't even know why he even took this interview to defend
what he's trying to accomplish it. Now, if I didn't make it clear, let me go through it again.
he wants to block a new ICE detention facility from opening up in his district.
That's number one.
And number two, he's one of the individuals behind the actual legislation to abolish ICE.
So, I mean, she's asking the actual right questions to me.
I mean, how do you get the 14% off the streets if there's nowhere for them to go
and you're removing the agency that would actually get them out of that district?
You know, I mean, I don't know.
This guy is a complete joke.
These rogue ice goons are killing American citizens, kidnapping five-year-old Leon.
You know, the Ice Age, ice are out of control.
They have recruited 10,000 people in a hurry.
They have not been properly trained.
So this ICE organization is totally out of control and must be ended.
And that's why I brought in abolishing qualified immunity for ICE agents.
And just a couple of weeks ago, I brought in abolishing ICE.
Well, I think that constituents in your district may be concerned about these criminal aliens with violent records,
not having a place to stay since you're trying to get the detention center out of the district.
And you're also trying to get rid of ICE overall.
I mean, shout out to Katie Pablick.
I mean, she's just, I don't even know why that guy took that interview.
It's so interesting to me.
I mean, there's no way to defend something called the Abolish ICE Act.
There's no way, all right.
I mean, these Democrats for the life of me continue to do the opposite of what they claim they are doing for the American people.
Their policies absolutely contradict public safety, all common sense, fiscal responsibility.
But what they do is they distract everybody with their anti-Trump narrative.
And of course, CNN and MS disinformation and the rest of them, they obviously help them with that effort.
And so while everybody's distracted over here, they're not actually focused on what Democrats are really up to, which is massive corruption.
Now, I'm going to show you an example of that, which takes us to our next story.
Now, you might have heard of the report of the Department of War, spending $2 million on surf and turf.
That's what we used to call it in the military.
This is lobster and crab.
This happens usually before a deployment to pick up morale or if the deployment's going to be extended.
It's nothing new, by the way.
This has always happened.
I want you to hear the way they're talking about it on CNN.
Take a listen.
You know what's important?
He has spent $15 million in one month for ribby steak, $6.9 million for lobster tail,
$225 million for furniture.
He spent more in the month of September than most countries on earth spend in their defense.
All do you believe?
All for himself?
Lobster tails?
Do you believe our troops are eating MREs?
No, no, no, no.
Lobster tails?
Do you believe the Secretary of Defense is personally eating all the lobster?
It's for the troops.
Oh, really, the troops are getting lobsters.
Frequently in theater.
Troops who are going to work in great meal.
You know that.
They're getting a lobster.
You are so full of it.
You are so full of it.
You're going to get killed over this.
They get the gold mine.
We get the shaft.
I'll end this by saying, obviously the briefings are good.
And the interesting thing is, as the host of that show, Caitlin Collins,
she should have followed up with him and made sure that he was clear on the record of what his stance was there.
And then she should have fact checked him.
But hey, these people are not.
all about being the arbiters of truth.
They're about pushing a particular narrative,
so they'll let that slide.
But if it was Scott Jennings and the shoe was on the other foot,
they would definitely cut them off
and try to fact-check them live in front of their audience.
And so this takes me back to Katie Pablick.
And again, she was on a roll last night.
Here is her response to this ridiculous story.
Watch.
Well, as American service members are bravely fighting
to end the war that started by Iran's regime
47 years ago,
some people here at home are seeking to attack
the Department of War and Secretary Pete Heggseth
for a so-called spending spree
at the end of the last fiscal year.
But those seeking to turn spending
on things like meals for America's warfighters
into a political food fight
don't have much of a leg to stand on
in terms of critiquing spending.
What's more? Those hollering about lobster tail and steak
whistle past the fact
that these surf and turf supplies
are not for Secretary Hegsef, but for our troops.
If Democrats really want to take an issue of spending,
there's plenty we can cut before depriving
service members of the long-standing tradition of a steak and lobster meal before shipping
out or when a deployment is extended.
But if fiscal responsibility is what Democrats want, there are reports of plenty on trillions
in waste, the kind that doesn't draw outrage from the left.
For example, $240 million spent by NIH for transgender experiments on mice, rats, and monkeys.
Or the $20 million awarded to Sesame Workshops to fund children's programs in Iraq,
that was defended by Democratic Senator,
specifically Chris Coons.
Did we really need to spend half a million dollars
to teach pigeons how to gamble on slot machines?
How about $2 million allocated to promote tourism in Lebanon,
a country the State Department warns against traveling to?
It's true that the federal government is a poor custodian
of taxpayer money, but if Democrats are actually serious
about fiscal responsibility,
there's plenty of outrageous places.
to start. Leave the surf and turf alone. Troops killing terrorists have earned a good meal.

It's a new work day.
I couldn't have said it any better.
I mean, if you're tripping about what the Department of War was spending regarding the troops,
I mean, there's other things you can criticize the Department of War for spending.
I don't think that's one of them, okay?
When their budget is up to a trillion dollars, I think that's the least of our worries, if that makes sense.
And then if you look outside that department, which there's plenty of fraud to go around,
as you heard her read off.
It's just fascinating the double standard and hypocrisy.
And the fact that the guy on CNN, I don't even know why he would even speak that way.
Oh, so you're telling me that Pete Haxeth himself spent $2 million on him only to eat crap.
It just doesn't pass the common sense test.
But it's the world we live in.
And it's the world we live in.
And so let's go to this next update.
I don't think you guys will be shocked by this.
this, but Senator John Federman has publicly come out against the Save America Act.
He does not believe it is appropriate based on the way that it's currently written.
This is continuing to remind us that whether you're a Democrat or Republican,
the Save America Act still has yet to make any serious progress.
We know Leader Thune is now under fire because he is yet to actually bring it to a vote.
Even though he has said publicly that next week,
they will actually have a full, huge debate over it.
I'm just not understanding the delay.
And especially as we continue to face all these threats in our country,
I don't think they're going to get the Save America Act done.
This is the point I'm trying to make.
If they can't even fund DHS.
Let's hear what Senator John Federman had to say.
What is your feeling about the president's emphasis,
hard emphasis on the so-called Save America Act?
Well, there's a couple truths embedded in this conversation, too.
I don't support in its current state to vote, save America.
And the president is constantly critical on mail-in voting.
