Violence Across The World: Brown University, Australia, Syria | Episode 188

26:50And that this goes on for minutes after the first dude went down. It was nearly two minutes before the second dude takes a shot, get gets hit. Watch this. Cops finally take him down.

27:02It looks like he took either dove down or took a shot. The second one hit him. Yeah, they got him.

27:13You're a bunch of Aussies yelling. He's down. He's down.

27:20yeah, they were super excited that the guy was finally down. Crazy. So there's video footage of all of this. These guys have just been, they were just killing tons of people. And they finally took that dude down. And I'm glad that the attack was stopped. But why did it take so long? So let's explore some of the basics of this. One super basic element is, as many of you know, in 1996, Australia disarmed its population forcibly through gun confiscation. They make it, they call it mandatory buyback. And I love, it's a big euphemism for we confiscate your guns. Mandatory means you don't have a choice.

28:00Buyback as if the government sold you the gun in the first place. What do you mean buyback? You're taking it from me and you're giving me some measly, quote, compensation for taking away my right to defend myself. And so Australia got disarmed. Now, does that mean there are no guns in Australia? No, it doesn't mean that. But it means that the population is, in many cases, sitting ducks, that they've been put into that situation by their government. And here we have a situation where these guys are firing for an endless amount of time. They kill 15 people during this Hanukkah celebration. Cops are not showing up in time.

28:37Nobody's opening fire. These guys are just having free reign as they get to kill a bunch of human beings. And one dude tries to wrest that gun away? one dude he's unarmed he places himself at total risk and attempt to do that no guns to fire back i'm sorry the problem is not too many guns the problem is too few guns nobody was there to defend themselves and and i'm seeing some footage here i want to let me i want to show you something i said some footage here one of the survivors a guy who who survived this horrific terror attack He spoke to the press. They were interviewing him and he described how awful it was not to have anybody rescue them.

29:19He said it was 20 minutes of chaos and nobody was firing back. Watch this video. Check this out. Can you tell me what happened? There was two shooters, one on the bridge, one under the bridge, just start to shoot for 20 minutes. They should should change, change the magazine and just shoot. simple as that 20 minutes was four police from there nobody give fire back nothing like they are froze that could it look like 20 minutes like and they should the guy change magazine I look at him all the time I was doing my babies under me and I look at that and it's just rifle and a pistol oh just shoot shoot and the other one was under they start to come close to the audience one i think one of the the people come took his rifle and shoot him that's one of them that's what i saw i don't know how much i saw but who were they targeting oh all the crowd anyone jewish just shoot doesn't matter who oh man all kids everyone was no did they say anything I couldn't hear.

30:32The shooting was so loud that we couldn't hear. They say, I was too far. It's always hard for survivors, people who, eyewitnesses, to give you accurate depictions of time, you may notice. He may have the timing of it wrong, but the truth is we saw endless amounts of video footage that showed that this was a very long time, 20 minutes, 15 minutes, 10, whatever the amount of time is. It was pure chaos, and nobody's shooting back. Nobody. and what are they saying on australia now what do they how do they react to this you know how this goes as americans we're very familiar with this conversation but just imagine in a place like australia with the insane governance that they have just imagine what they're saying today i've got the update on that and then we've got to explore what just happened in the united states of america this attack on brown university i'm going to go over the details we know from that as well there's a lot to get to on this edition of vince you know christmas used to mean something very simple.

Thanks for being great. So Australia is subjected to this attack. Witnesses, survivors of the attack say there was nobody there to shoot back. So one would think if you were a common sense person, if you were the kind of person who assessed a security threat like this, you might say to yourself, well, we need people to defend the innocent.

34:07We need the innocent to be able to defend themselves. One might think that you would arrive at that conclusion. That's not what Australia is arriving at. Instead, they're instantly doing what Democrats in the United States do, which is attempting to exploit this to disarm good people in Australia. Here's the AP report this morning. Australia to tighten gun laws after the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre. Tighten. Not make it easier for people to defend themselves. Make it more difficult for people to defend themselves. That's the plan. AP, Australia leaders promised Monday to immediately overhaul already tough gun control laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach.

34:55Among the new measures being proposed would be a limit on the number of guns someone can own and a review of licenses held over time. they say this comes after you know that they say that this would be a significant update to their landmark national firearms agreement which virtually banned rapid fire rifles what is a rapid fire rifle you idiots in the press after a gunman killed 35 people in tasmania in 1996 galvanizing the country into action okay so did disarming the whole population have any impact on stopping bad guys from using guns illegally? No, it didn't. You guys are idiots. You're idiots.

35:39You just had Islamic terrorism. The problem isn't the guns. It's the psychotic Islamic extremists and the disarmed population who's in no position to defend itself. You nutjobs. So they're trying to disarm human beings yet again. How about no? I'm glad I don't live in Australia, but I just want to make the core point. I don't want to see anybody gunned down. I would like to see innocent people be able to defend themselves.

36:11And this brings us to what just happened at Brown University this weekend. Unfortunately, a similar situation. Brown University in Rhode Island is a gun-free zone. Gun-free zone. And as a result, it means that the students who were sitting inside of an economics class this weekend studying for their exams were sitting ducks. There was nobody to defend them. There was nobody to shoot back when a bad guy with ill intent goes into the classroom and begins opening fire on the students, killing two of them and wounding at least nine more. That's the story out of Brown University this weekend. So the people, let me start with what we know.

36:59We know the identities of the two people who were killed. Among the dead was a Brown University sophomore by the name of Ella Cook. She is the vice president of the Brown College Republicans. She was just killed in this attack. And her pastor at her church in Birmingham, Alabama, revealed to the congregation this weekend that she was among the dead. Here's cut seven, the pastor revealing that Ella Cook has passed away. Many of you heard about the tragedy which happened at Brown University, the shootings which took place, and a number of young people who died. And sadly, tragically, one of those people is one of our parishioners.

37:51Ella Cook was one of those. Richard and Anna Cook's daughter, Hooker, and Mary Hamner's sister was one of those. And for those of you who knew her, who know her, she was just incredibly grounded and generous and faithful and bright light, both here at the Advent over many years as she was engaged and involved in our worship and our community and as she served here at the church and in the wider community. In all sincerity, just a tremendous and bright light in there at Brown University as well in the time that she was there with such a light and such a witness. And as we gather as a people today, of course, we remember the words from John's gospel.

38:40The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not, and the darkness will not overcome it. She seems like a beautiful young lady through and through. Beautiful on the outside, of course. And for those of you watching rumble.com, Vince, we had her image up on the screen. And beautiful on the inside. She's, she's, all of her friends have spoken very well of her and her church is filled with sorrow at her passing. And we, and we pray for her and we pray for her family for sure. But Ella Cook, that sophomore was killed at Brown this weekend. She wasn't alone. There was also an Uzbek national who was killed.

39:23His name is Mukhammed Aziz Umarzakov, excuse me, Umarzakov. they describe him as kind-hearted the kind-hearted young man I have his let me see if I can pull his image up here this is his image he was studying to become a neurosurgeon at the school again this is an economics class that the two of them were in it was a it was study that they were doing there was a teacher's assistant who was leading this event the professor was not there the ta A 21-year-old was leading the session this Saturday when that gunman walked in and began opening fire on the class. People began running for cover. They say that people who were in the middle of the classroom were the most vulnerable because it was difficult for them to get away from the chaos and get to an exit to get out of the room.

40:12But these two young people, just at the very beginnings of their lives, working on getting educated to start their careers, gunned down. Nine others were injured, at least nine others were injured and are recovering from their wounds, hopefully. We pray for all of them. But there's rampant speculation going on right now because at the moment, as I'm talking to you, it's 1043 Eastern time Monday morning. And there is a massive vacuum of information right now, a massive vacuum. And let me emphasize a couple of details. This is important for us to think about. And I believe me, I've spent a lot of time researching the known details here.

40:51And here's some of the things we we do and don't know. We know that they were attacked. We know that these two were killed. We know their identities. Ella, the young lady who I was just mentioning, she is, of course, the vice president of the college Republicans. The college Republicans of America have released a statement saying that they are devastated that she was lost in this attack. There is a lot. There's been a lot of speculation this weekend that she was targeted because she's a college Republican. In other words, that this was left wing violence perpetrated against her and the small group of students who consider themselves college Republicans at Brown University.

41:28Now, that may very well be the case, but it is early. So let's wait to find out what the hell actually happened. And then we'll make assessments from there. I can tell you right now, somebody with very vile intent did something horrific. And and we are trying to figure out where the hell that guy is. More on that in a moment. Also, the suspect there, there's claims by eyewitnesses that he was yelling something incomprehensible, something they weren't sure what he said. The teacher's assistant spoke to a number of outlets, including The New York Times, and said that he was shouting something. but nobody has given you an actual description.

42:09No direct eyewitness has given you a description yet as of this morning as to what this guy was actually yelling. Now, there are claims going around social media right now that he was yelling Allahu Akbar and they're being attributed to an eyewitness, but nobody's named the eyewitness. So in other words, could it be possible the guy was yelling that just like so many of these other terror attackers? Yeah, entirely possible. But the reality is you hold on until you actually know something. And then in terms of the authorities, what have they been doing in the midst of all of this? Well, it turns out Brown University has no cameras or something.

42:49Or at least if they have cameras, none of them function. What the hell is going on? How is this campus so unguarded and so incapable of defending the students? And I'm not talking, they don't need an army. How about just surveillance equipment of any kind? How about just a security guard or the ability of a student or a teacher or somebody to fire back if a terror attack is going on? None of that. And so we get one shitty camera giving us a silhouette of a dude walking around a corner near the street. Look at this. Here's what the authorities have released. Cut eight. Watch this. Look at this.

43:26This camera shot. We got like nothing. One dude walking away. By the way, you can see his gait is pretty even. It's not like he's got a, it doesn't look like there's a rifle jammed down a pant leg or anything, like in the Tyler Robinson situation. So this guy walks away. He looks a little stocky, a little wide, but that's it. He's dressed in all black. He's got his right hand in his pocket. Now, what kind of gun did he use? That also has been a subject of some dispute. There were claims that the guy used a rifle. There were other claims that he used a handgun or perhaps multiple handguns in the attack.

44:04The claims are all over the place. No clarity, no definition. Additionally, they took somebody into custody this weekend on Sunday. They took a person of interest into custody. And then they acted like, OK, hey, like, finally, we got we solved this thing. We got a person of interest in custody. And then they released that guy because apparently he must have had an alibi. that they became satisfied. Actually, this is not our suspect. He's not the guy. And so we go back to square one. We've got we've got what? Nothing. And Providence, Rhode Island is run by, I hate to tell you, a series of idiot Democrats, just people who have no idea what they're doing.

44:47Among them is the the idiot mayor of Providence, Rhode Island. His name is Brett Smiley. And on Sunday night, late last night, he was declaring that the community is safe and there's nothing to worry about. I'm sorry, what? Wait a second. You just had a guy go in, he shot up the university, killed two people, injured nine, and then disappeared. You have no idea who the suspect is. You don't have anybody in custody. You're not giving the public any reasonable leads. There is no security footage anywhere, nothing that we can use right now. This is crazy. And so here's the idiot mayor of Providence, Rhode Island last night trying to comfort people that everything's totally fine.

45:29Nothing to worry about. Watch this. Since the initial call came in at 4.05 a day and a half ago, we have not received a single additional specific threat to the Brown community, to the Providence community, to the Rhode Island community. And so police had and appreciated the flexibility to have fewer people on the streets to be able to do their job. And there is no reason that we are not recommending at this time a new shelter in place. We do not feel it is necessary. As I mentioned at the outset, in order to provide an enhanced sense of safety, you will see an enhanced law enforcement presence in Providence and on the Brown campus.

46:12but that is so that people can have the confidence and comfort to still take their kids to school tomorrow to if you know brown's canceled classes for the rest of the semester this guy's just making it up as he goes along he has no idea what the what the what the status of the safety threat is none it's just like everything's fine everyone just go go about your lives everything will be perfectly fine you don't know anything actually so stop pretending like you do just say out loud we don't know where this person is. We're asking people to be vigilant and to report anything that they see that they think is suspicious or concerning.

46:47How hard is that? Why do you have to make shit up? What is wrong with these people? How do you become mayor in the first place? That's what I want to know. So that's what Rhode Island is dealing with right now. Now, yes, the FBI is on this case. That gives me a degree of comfort to know that Dan and Cash are all over this right now. They're working hard to try and solve this thing, to try and augment what Rhode Island is doing to try and track these guys down. But like, how hard is it? I mean, come on. If you were the mayor of a city, if just, if just randomly you were asked for a day, like, Hey, would you be the mayor today?

47:21And it just so happened to be the day of the attack. You get up to that microphone. You'd be like, look, I can only tell you what I know, which is not much right now. Unfortunately, I want this guy hunted down and caught. And we're demanding that, that every piece of information we could possibly get be sent to us. If you got ring video doorbells or any of this other stuff, send us whatever you've got we need to track this guy down aggressively in the meantime we're urging the community to try and stay as safe as possible stay vigilant we don't know where this person is but the second we find him and get him into custody this country will be a lot safer let's all work on that together here's the tip line uh hello not hard not hard to do and yet impossible for that guy to get the words out and so we're left with this garbage today this garbage nothing You know, and then you got like, here's the police chief in Providence, you know, being asked about the fact that what are you serious?

48:13You have no cameras, nothing. There's no angles on this thing. Watch this. This is from yesterday. You work in the building and say they had some safety concerns specifically with the lack of cameras in this building where the shooting took place. Do you know if there were cameras in the building? What was the security like in that building? Again, I'm not going to comment as far as what what's at this facility or what you're being told by or what information you're getting from somebody. but I can comment on the fact that we are working with what we have. And obviously we have somebody that's at the police station, a person of interest, and we're going to continue to build that case in order to be able to charge that person.

48:46They didn't have a case or charge the person. The person wasn't even charged. They released him last night. So we're back to square one. We don't got the guy. Yeah. We need a lot more answers and very, very quickly. Did you notice the social media response to all this? People are, I mean, we're in a tinderbox right now. I was getting text messages last night. People, you know, all sorts of people on social media posts, people are already jumping to conclusions about what this thing is. And we may very well find out that poor Ella was targeted because she's a Republican and that was what this was all about.

49:18But the country's on edge. Do you feel it? People are on edge about all of this, and rightfully so. We don't want people dying in our streets. We want to put a stop to this. And so we are demanding better. We're demanding better. And that idiot, Mayor, among the things that he's pulling, they're instantly trying to use this thing to disarm Americans. So the mayor, Smiley, yesterday said that, well, I don't want to talk about this that much. I don't want to talk about this. But but here's the thing. We should disarm people. At some point, I'm going to talk about this. And when we do, I know what needs to be done.

50:01We need gun control. That's what he heavily implied yesterday. How about no? How about the problem continues to be too few means of defending ourselves? Not too many, you jackass. You're getting people killed for extended periods of time. This doesn't have to happen. And as we've talked about before, when we talk about these shootings, when things like this happen, you realize why you don't hear about mass shootings that kill a ton of people in well-armed states, well-armed law-abiding states the reason for that is because those shootings stop before they become massacres that's just true john lott at the crime prevention research center has been doing studies on this for years and he says good guys with guns stop massive numbers of mass shootings before they take place so as a result the media ignored them very few casualties not worth talking about or not worth emphasizing that law-abiding citizens actually do great things to help keep this country safe.

51:02Well, I'm here to tell you they do. And we need to encourage more of that and less of the tyranny of these people who constantly trample all over the Second Amendment and then exploit a massacre like we are. We just saw in Brown an attack like that.

51:20notifying next of kin about these poor young people being killed and you're trying to exploit it to disarm the rest of us? How about get the hell out of here? How about don't have that job? A total disaster. Let me finish with some good news for you. I need to get out of this because it's just too much. And as we get updates on all of this I'll bring them to you on the big national radio show we've got that today and then tomorrow on our our next edition of Vince. But I want to end with some good news for you today. President Trump went to the Army-Navy game this weekend in Baltimore, and it was the scene of some amazing things, some amazing things.

52:03President Trump was very warmly welcomed by the cadets and the midshipmen there. And it was, quote, listen here as President Trump is welcomed. Well, actually, first, let me start with the national anthem. The national anthem crushes. Here are the cadets and the midshipmen combining forces to just absolutely crush the Star Spangled Banner, America's national anthem at the Army-Navy game this weekend. Cut for a watch.

52:46Highlights last gleaming for the land of the free and the home of the brave.

53:07Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So good. So stinking good. I listened to that thing like a dozen times this weekend. I just kept playing it. It was so wonderful to see. Just remarkable. Just remarkable. God bless all those young people who are ready to serve their country. And just beautiful. Can we do that for the Super Bowl? Come on now. Don't you think? That was Super Bowl quality. that was one of the single best renditions of the national anthem I've ever heard actually who's up there who's up who who's at the top of the list Whitney Houston is up at the top of the list Chris Stapleton he crushed it a couple years ago at the Super Bowl and then the cadets and the midshipmen at West Point in the Naval Academy pretty good pretty good I would like to see that that'd be wonderful yeah give me chills too bright side i totally agree with you that the anthem crushed anyway great great great job guys really really nice job um the president of the united states showed up for the coin toss and he tossed the coin in a way that only president trump could do i heard some people saying it's kind of a knuckleball of a coin toss here's president trump welcomed by a roaring enthusiastic crowd and uh he invented a new style of coin toss everybody got to check it out.

54:34Cut five. Watch this. Tails has been called. Mr. President, would you do the honor? Are you all set?

54:46It is Tails. Arnie, you've won the toss. Which means you have to kick? Please rotate around. Arnie has won the toss. The further option to the second half. Navy would receive the ball. Let's play football. That's funny. He flipped that thing like an egg in a pan. He just put it flat on his palm, and he threw it up in the air and just let it land on the ground. No funny business. No finesse with this guy. Everything's just like, I'm going to knock it out. I'm going to do it. He's funny. He's got his own way of doing everything, doesn't he? You know? Remember when the left was giving him grief for feeding the fish with Shinzo Abe in the koi pond?

55:28And then you pull out the video footage, and it shows Shinzo Abe dumped the whole box in, too. He did it a little more gingerly, though, but he dumps the whole box into the water. Then President Trump just overturns the box and dumps all the food into the fish. He's busy, man. He doesn't have time for finessed coin flips. It's just, just throw it up in the air. Let's get it going. And by the way, it's funny. President Trump, no matter what he does, he gets grief. So the left spent the whole weekend giving him grief for that, as if they're sitting around watching football anyway. They don't even care about this.

55:58All they care about is just attacking Trump. I voted for this. I did too, Sleuth. And he goes out there and he just knuckleballs a coin toss. Crushed it. Crushed it. I think all coin tosses need to happen that way from now on. That's officially the new way to do a coin toss. Everybody does it that way. Carolyn Chippy says, DJT, we don't deserve him. Yeah, you're right. But we got him, which is great, which I love. Really, really nice. Okay, a lot to come today on the big national radio show. We'll give you updates on everything. We'll also keep our eyes on what just happened in Hollywood. Carl Reiner and his wife stabbed to death inside of their own home?

56:39What the heck happened there? There's people speculating that a family member may have done this. We'll get into whatever details emerge as that breaking news continues. A chaotic weekend in America, but as always, I feel like it's my job and we feel like it's our job here at this podcast and on this radio show to try and clarify it as much as humanly possible for you.
