Starting point is 00:00:00 Every once in while there's an issue that I ask myself, you know, is this really something that's a high wire sort of, you know, point? Is this the right time to talk about it? But here in America, I'm not sure it's how it's affecting the world. But here in America, another tragic event has taken place, actually very close to us, just miles away outside of San Antonio, Texas. Another school shooting, something that is just beyond comprehension. We cannot wrap. our heads around how horrible this is, but this is what it's looked like in the news. America, here we are again. This is not a new nightmare. It is a recurring one. Another mass shooting in America, this time at an elementary school. Horror and heartbreak in this tiny South Texas community. What happened in Yuvaldi is a horrific tragedy that cannot be tolerated in the state of Texas. And Yvalde, Texas is now the scene of the second deadliest school. shooting in our nation's history.
Starting point is 00:01:02 19 students and two teachers killed. That rampage began in that house just behind me, the suspect allegedly shooting his grandmother. State officials revealing all were killed instead of a single fourth grade classroom. There are still 17 people injured as a result of this mass shooting. We're also learning more about who committed this heinous attack. Police say he is 18-year-old Salvador Ramos. He was from Yuvalde, and while investigators have now revealed a moment.
Starting point is 00:01:30 motive. It is believed he bought two assault-style weapons right after turning 18 just days ago. Law enforcement sources telling ABC News they're investigating possible social media accounts linked to the alleged shooter, which include images of guns and other violent material. Investigators believe Ramos posted photos on Instagram of two guns he used in the shooting. The gunman was 18 years old and reportedly a high school dropout. He was shy that throughout the course of his time through education, high school and before that, that he was bullied, that he was troubled. Apparently, the reports say he had a tough family life moving between his own mother and his grandparents and back again. His classmates at Yuvalde High School telling ABC News the suspect was known for fighting and threatening classmates.
Starting point is 00:02:23 He fits the profile of a loner, if you will. Nobody has come forward to say they know him. Really, the only person they've identified is his grandmother. They can't even find any biological parents, anything like that. Several classmates telling us the suspect rarely went to school, and when he did, he sometimes frightened students. Unemployed, we haven't able to identify any friends, a girlfriend, no gang affiliation, no criminal history, so a lot of unanswered questions.
Starting point is 00:02:52 All right, look, this is a sensitive topic, and this is a sensitive time. And at first, you know, with everyone else, I want to say to those families that are going through this just unbelievably horrific experience that no one alive would ever want to have to deal with. Our hearts go out to you. Our prayers are with you. But as I sit here as a journalist, I have got to make some things clear because I'm not sure we get it. And it's this. Our media is totally owned. nobody is right on this topic everybody is a shill for somebody and I'm really really tired of it on one side you have CNN and MSNBC and whatever liberal organizations jump right in there to say this is a gun rights issue and damn the NRA and we've got to stop gun rights and all that and then you flip channels if you want to be on the other side and you flip to the other side and and then the entire argument is is how could the liberals and the liberal media you know political politicize this and make this about gun ownership. We should be talking about the families and yada, yada, yada, and Hannity and all these guys as though they're the ones that are just standing up for human rights. They're all a pack of liars and I'm really tired of it. Here's the truth. There is, you know, I want to say this. There should be conversation. There should be
Starting point is 00:04:13 nothing about this conversation that is not on the table. I don't care who you are. If you're saying, I'm sorry, but gun regulations, you know, that just can't be a part of the discussion. Bologna, it can't be part of the discussion. I'm not saying whether I'm for it or against it, but everything has to be on the table. You just saw me do this at the conference that, you know, that I was in the UK. I do not have a problem standing room with someone that is pro vaccine. Go ahead and tell me what you think about the pro vaccine position, but you're going to see my position and I'm going to show you all the lawsuits I've won and what's going on. And then there'll be nuances and Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone will be here and Brett Weinstein will have a little bit different perspective. We've got to talk
Starting point is 00:04:54 about it all. There can't be some part of this conversation that is being left out. But here's the issue. The biggest thing being left out isn't guns or lack of guns or the politics around this. It's drugs. It comes down to drugs. Where are the drug companies in this conversation? I mean, why is it? We never hear whether or not this kid was taking SSRIs, drugs for depression and psychological issues, which have a known side effect of suicidal ideation. They get away with it, they lose
Starting point is 00:05:31 lawsuits, just like here an uncomfortable truth to look at the corresponding rise of antidepressants, SSRIs, and mass shootings. Now, you'll see these articles but they're not talking about it on CNN or Fox. You know? Hannity, you're not talking about it. Why? I know why? Because I used to be you.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Because you are literally being paid by pharma. And so they'll argue at each other. They'll us all arguing at each other, but we're not having the most important conversation. What part of this is due to children being hopped up on drugs that are totally messing with their psychological systems? Now, I don't know if this shooter was on drugs or not. What I'm saying is it has to be on the table, and you should not trust any news anchor or any reporter that isn't putting that into the mix, too. Put the guns on the table, put the
Starting point is 00:06:19 drugs on the table. Oh, by the way, while you're at it and Fauci's over there going, yeah, I know that people got to press because I put masks on them and locked them down in schools. Oh yeah, I admit, I knew suicides went up when I took the rights of children away across this country. Well, guess what? Guess who's on the table too? Our government, because while you were accepting the fact you were making children suicidal, guess what suicidal children do? They shoot each other. That's what they do. Sometimes they just take it out of themselves. Sometimes they say, if I don't want to live in this world, then nobody else should either. So while you're giggling to yourself that is a side effect of a government intrusion that should have never happened,
Starting point is 00:06:58 you're on the table too. Let's have this conversation. Let's really have it. Nobody's allowed to keep their secrets and their baggage and their skeletons in the closet we don't get to see. All of it's on the table. Let's be honest. Let's be real. Let's be parents.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Let's be humans. Let's be children. Let's get to the bottom of this. We all need to rectify what is happening here. We are getting sicker and sicker as a society, and there's a drug company making all the ads that is helping with our sickness, which seems to be making it worse,
Starting point is 00:07:31 and billionaires that are going to help us, but they seem to be making us poorer, and all of it being celebrated by the news while we are the victims. You'll never see these conversations happening that way on the high wire. I know I pissed some of you off today. Whatever your pet point of view is on these issues, I don't apologize. This is the high wire.
Starting point is 00:07:54 It's death-defying truth without a safety net. And you can expect to see it next week.
