Starting point is 00:00:00 As a breaking news, the shooter's identity has been discovered. And as you can see here, this is not what MAGA was saying online about what they would think or hoped. I guess we could say. They actually do hope that someone looks a certain way when these shootings happen. And this is the shooter. And on top of it, Donald Trump tweeted an insane, insane thing and deleted it. But I have that post for you coming up. But first, this is what we know about this man.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Suspecting Michigan shooter has been identified as Iraq War veteran Thomas Sanford. Sanford was a U.S. Marine veteran who served in Iraq from 2004 or 2008. As it says here, he is white, not trans. He died at this scene. Here's some more information about this. The man who officials say crashed into a Michigan church and open fire in the congregation has been identified as a 40-year-old from Burton. in Michigan. He also went to high school nearby and served in the Marines.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Authorities said they believe the man identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford also intentionally set fire to the Church of Jesus Christ of Letter States building in ground blank township Michigan. They added that congregants were inside attending services when the building was engulfed in flames. The shooter was neutralized in an exchange of gunfire with the responding officers. The police said four of those in the church also died. Yes. So before it, we, the last time, updated you there were two people who had sadly died and now it's up to four they're pulling people literally out of the rubble two doubted gunshot rooms the police and two more bodies were found
Starting point is 00:01:41 later in the church eight people were wounded records show that the gunman also went by jake graduated from a nearby high school in 2004 he served in the marines from 2004 and 2008 and was deployed iraq from 2007 2008 mr sanford's father declined to comment in a brief phone conference's father declined to comment in a brief phone conversation, several attempts to reach the suspect's wife and other immediate family members have not been successful. Ryan Lopez, a former high school classmate who lives in the nearby city of Davidson, Michigan, said that he regularly saw Mr. Sanford around Trown, and he was trying to process the news. He said he saw Mr. Sanford at a gym and Davidson a few weeks earlier in that nothing had seemed out of the ordinary quote. He seemed happy to me. He just seemed normal. for roughly a year
Starting point is 00:02:27 he's also described here as a typical country kid so again this is not someone who we would think to be a leftist ideologue for roughly a year around 2010 Sandra Winterer 56
Starting point is 00:02:43 rented a room from Mr. Sanford in her home in January Jeremy Ranch Utah she described him as an unassuming man who worked for local business doing snow removal and landscaping he also had a creative ambitions as a sculpture artist working with sheet rock. So we'll learn more as this happens.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I mean, as these things, as these things get processed, we do have someone who went to allegedly, someone who went to school. This can't be him. He's a strong Republican. We met him at the No Kings rally in Flint. He was on our Republican side. He was an army vet and he had a lot of guns and his truck that day.
Starting point is 00:03:24 He spoke about his time in the military. He didn't act crazy at all. He drives down my street all the time. His friend can't believe it either. He was killed, so now they can't ask him what happened. So, again, with stuff like this is unsubstantiated, not sure if this is real or not, but we are getting more and more information that is showing that this is not someone who is a leftist ideologue.
Starting point is 00:03:48 William Coffin said the president of the United States immediately tried to frame this Michigan attack as an attack on Christians by some odd. other. I'm sure Cash was trying to deliver a left-wing trans-Muslim or immigrant connection. The shooter is actually Thomas Jacob Sanford, as we said. Okay, and here's the Christian wife, Tella. Maybe they go nuts when they realize the arc of the story is complete bullshit. Are you getting it yet, dummies? Yeah. So that is him with the wife, and here's the wife's post here, saying that she accepts Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
Starting point is 00:04:24 He said, deny me in front of your friends, and I will deny. I you challenge accepted so this is not again this is him this is him so I have a few more things I want to share with you and obviously that clip of Donald Trump deleted but I don't want to point fingers I don't like I said earlier it does not matter to me if this guy is maga if he's a left-wing nut if he is a nihilist if he doesn't believe anything at all if he just wanted to end in a blaze of glory, there is something happening in this country where men, particularly white men,
Starting point is 00:05:10 are causing more and more violence normally using weapons of war. I would like to solve that problem. I think one way we could do it is by making it so it's harder to get those guns. I think another thing we do is figure out why they are deciding to do this. Are they getting radicalized online? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:33 But I do know. We cannot figure out what the answer is if one side of the country doesn't want to look and instead just wants to point. And they want to point at us. They're not going to fix it. Now, there is also allegedly,
Starting point is 00:05:52 if you look here, this is a Trump-Vance flag at his home, and this is the truck that went into the church. So, and then Destiny said that this is funny, that the duck is trans. And then on top of it, just so you know, a Texas man was arrested for threatening to show up a pride parade as payback for Charlie Kirk. I don't think the president is going to tweet about this, do you? Because he's attacking the people he doesn't care about. And it's someone who probably would support Donald Trump. I think these are all related.
Starting point is 00:06:39 These are all related. Now, as I said, Donald Trump randomly posted this and deleted this AI video of him talking an AI? Breaking now. President Donald J. Trump has announced a historic new healthcare system, the launch of America's first medbed hospitals and a national. medbed card for every citizen. Every American will soon receive their own medbed card. With it, you'll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in
Starting point is 00:07:12 the nation equipped with the most advanced technology in the world. These facilities are safe, modern and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength. This is the beginning of a new era in American health care. Isn't that bizarre? Is that not bizarre? Like, there's so much going on and then he posts this, not only
Starting point is 00:07:36 he posts it, but then he deletes it? In what world would that be normal? It's not. So we have right-wing influencers trying to pin something on the left that has nothing to do with us. The left actually just wants to solve
Starting point is 00:07:54 the problem, and the President United States is posting AI videos of himself that are completely unfactual. And I want to end with this, because this was Bill, I thought this was quite chilling.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I know not everyone's a fan of Bill Maher, but I thought this is quite chilling. You must know that we are really on the edge of a dictatorship here. By the way, he's talking to Republicans. The only ones who can stop it. Do you really want to make this a fundamentally different country than the one you claim to love, a country where we see?
Starting point is 00:08:32 censor the media, disappear people, use the legal system to excuse friends and punish enemies, have a secretish police, hang banners of the dear leader on buildings, sue newspapers and declare war without mercy on windmills. You know that's all crazy too, right? So how about starting your end of the bargain with this? Find one thing Trump wants and tell him no. One thing. Just one time say, sir, we'd like to, but we can't.
Starting point is 00:09:15 It's still a government of laws. Because you're a way past flirting with authoritarianism. Flirting? Let's be real. You're fucking it. I get it. It's hot. Troops in the streets. Funerals with fireworks. The Department of War.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Exploding boats. Milfs packing heat. and in Congress, the smell of tear gas in the morning, Pete Hegseth without a shirt on, it's a whole vibe, but it's not going to last. What good is making America great again if you end up losing the America part? Well, I think the America part isn't lost,
Starting point is 00:10:07 but we are truly losing it. And I do hope, I hope that some Republicans wake up. And if you've watched anything this past weekend, John Thune seems to not be totally on board with that. He's the Senate Majority Leader. So there's maybe some hope there. But this video has won't on too long as it is. But I just want to thank you so much for being here. Thank you for being with me.
