Details are still being reported.
The story is still developing, but at rob elementary school in,
you've Aldi Texas, an 18 year old gunman entered the campus and
proceeded to shoot and kill 14 elementary school students and one teacher.
Authorities have reported that the gunman is dead.
As we share this story with you at this moment,
it's unclear whether he took his own life or if the authorities shot him.
But Texas governor Greg Abbott, who has further loosened gun laws in his state,
says that this is incomprehensible.
In fact,
here's the governor giving a press conference about this tragic shooting.
Let's take a look.
>> The shooter was Salvador Romas, an 18 year old male who resided in your body.
It's believed that he abandoned his vehicle and
entered into the Rob Elementary School in New Valley with a handgun and
he may have also had a rifle.
But that has not yet confirmed according to my most recent report.
He shot and killed horrifically and
comprehensively 14 students and killed a teacher.
Mr. Roma's the shooter,
he himself is deceased.
And is believed that responding officers killed him.
>> Now we don't know what the motive is yet, but I do wanna stay on the topic of
governor Abbott and his failed leadership in the state of Texas.
Because in 2021 alone, Abbott signed two laws allowing Texans
21 older to carry handguns without licenses or gun training, okay?
No licenses, no gun training, gee, I wonder what could happen?
Further, he also now allows certain 18 to 20 year old's to carry handguns to.
And of course he says that the shooting is incomprehensible.
How could this happen?
Well, when guns are readily available, when you live in a country that
intentionally ignores mental health issues.
When you have a political party, a dominant political party in the country,
that's constantly preaching violence,
that's constantly talking about civil war in the country.
Well, is it a surprise that we have mass shootings on a regular basis?
Including a mass shooting in an elementary school that as of now the numbers
could get higher, has killed 14 elementary school students.
Gee, I wonder Jenks I wonder how this could happen.
How could this happen?
>> Incomprehensible, he says.
Well you loosen gun laws and gun regulation, so
that more people can commit more massacres there, I comprehended it.
It was so easy, it's your fault.
That son of a bit almost looks cheery reading that news.
Did you see that?
He's like, yeah, 14 kids are dead and so did the check clear from the NRA?
Did the check clear?
Yes.
And it's not just checks in this case.
Let's be clear.
Almost everything politicians do in America is because of money will come back
to that in a second.
But the right wing enjoys the violence.
They enjoy the gun culture, the violent culture, that's why 40% of them say,
now it's time for violence.
That's the replacement theories of violent theory where they say, okay, let's go kill
the immigrants because they're gonna replace us good white people et cetera.
And now, by the way, the latest poll out, after the buffalo shooting,
over 60% of Republicans say they believe in the white replacement theory.
>> What could go wrong Jake?
>> Incomprehensible >> Incomprehensible.
And look, we don't know what the motive is for the shooter.
So I wanna be clear,
we're not connecting it to crazy white replacement theory stuff.
It could be confirmed later, we don't know, we don't know what the motive is.
I wanna be clear.
However, you have a dangerous combination in this country,
where you have essentially like guns everywhere.
Anyone can get a hand and get their hands on it.
No requirements to have a license in the state of Texas,
no requirements to be trained with a gun in the state of Texas,
much like many other red states across the country.
The Supreme Court, by the way, is poised to soon make a decision that could
allow for open carry across the country.
So let's sit around and wait for that bomb to drop.
And you have a political party that like revels in their giddy about
the possibility of a civil war or violence in the country.
They intentionally vote down any legislation either on a state level or
a Federal level.
That would help with mental health treatment in this country.
And I want you to keep that in mind,
as we go to this tweet from Marjorie Greene, okay?
Because this is, I mean, it's almost as if like they have this game plan,
it's a script.
They followed the script after every mass shooting.
Let's take a look at that tweet.
Our nation needs to take a serious look at the state of mental health today.
>> Especially for you goddamn lunatic.
Do you think it was the Jewish space lasers that killed those kids?
It's your goddamn policies that killed them.
Mental health.
You have a lunatic telling us about mental health.
Alright then Marjorie Taylor Greene.
What the hell did you do about it?
Did you pass a law?
>> No, she voted against it.
>> You voted against it.
How funny.
Other people's kids are dead and yes,
it is definitely the Republican Party's fault.
>> It is >> Now,
I'm gonna get back to the Democratic Party cuz they are not at all blameless.
But the Republican Party celebrates the massacre of our children because they say,
no, my guns are more important.
My guns, my guns.
Now look,
I can prove you easily that the problem isn't the cause of any particular shooter.
Yes, the replacement theory is nuts.
Yes, it's driving more violence.
Yes, Trump constantly calling for a civil war.
He literally called for civil war yesterday on his social media platforms.
Yes, all those things contribute mightily to the problem.
But when you talk about gun control, it's so easy to understand, okay?
The cause isn't as important as the weapon in this case.
Why?
Now, if we said, hey, you know what?
Forget just guns and machine guns and technically study machine gun.
I know.
I don't give a goddamn, okay?
The kids are dead.
So, okay, automatic weapons, semiautomatic weapons, assault rifles, on and on.
They love them all.
And they're like, kill, kill, kill, kill, right?
That's what Republicans are about.
That's what the right wing's about.
They're killing our kids.
They're literally killing our kids.
>> And they love it.
Actual kids, kids that are actually viable outside the womb.
>> Okay, I'm gonna get to that too.
>> They have no problem,
watching them die on calling on school campuses on a regular basis, no problem.
And the reason why I say no problem is because their actions prove it go ahead.
>> So, if you say, hey, we don't need any gun control as all lunatic
right wingers say, you're all lunatics, okay?
So, all right, then, what about RPG's?
Okay, no gun control.
No arms control.
It says the right to bear Arms in the 2nd amendment.
Should we give everybody an RPG, a shoulder fired missile.
So that what you said, well, don't do that.
I mean, there's crazy people.
You remember that guy at work.
My God, that guy at the post office is a little crazy, right?
I mean, you can't walk around with shoulder fired missiles.
Why not?
We walk around with assault rifles that cut Down
14 kids before anybody can respond.
You love that if you're against gun control, you love that.
Don't tell me you don't want RPG's.
And by the way, if you're a Republican secretly, right now in your head,
you're thinking, boy, I'd love an RPG.
Okay, well then let's extend that argument further.
Why don't we give everyone a small nuclear device?
What?
You don't want any control, right?
Freedom, your freedom.
Let's just nuke each other, right?
And then go, which one is the cause?
I wonder what's the cause.
The cause is there's a lot of unstable people in the world.
If you give them all of the weapons that we have,
they will use it against us and our kids dumb, dumb, I'm so sick of it.
I'm supposed to not call them stupid.
They're murdering our kids with weapons that you allow them to have for
no goddamn reason.
Okay, dumb dumb.
What do you want them to have nukes?
You probably do, if you're right with you, you're probably that stupid.
Then you'll be like, just give them nukes, who cares?
Let him murder all of our kids at once cuz I don't want any gun control.
I have a hobby, I masturbate to called guns.
And I don't care if it kills your kids.
That's what you say.
One of these days, a parent whose kids were murdered is going to snap.
And then all of a sudden you're gonna say, no, no, no,
no, no guns, I don't know about guns.
You're going to create a civil war, you morons.
>> They want it, they want it, they want it.
They can't even stop repeating how much they want it.
They repeated on a regular basis.
I wanna read you a tweet from Texas governor Greg Abbott,
dating back to October of 2015.
This is what he wrote.
I'm embarrassed.
Texas is number two in the nation for gun purchases.
Let's pick up the pace Texans.
>> Hey, congratulations, Greg Abbott.
You should be super proud today with blood all over your hands.
Hey, we're number one now.
We killed the most children.
Congratulations Greg Abbott.
And all of you monster Republicans, your monsters.
Now let's turn to the goddamn Democrats, what are you gonna do?
I guarantee it?
I predicted ahead of time and the New York times and CNN and
MSNBC will all lie to you.
And tell you all, they're geniuses, their master legislators.
They're the greatest people on earth.
These goddamn Democrats that do nothing.
Here's what they'll do.
They'll send your goddamn fundraising email and then Pelosi buying the humans.
They give me money, give me money, right?
And then you know what they'll do with your money, not a goddamn thing.
>> They'll help right wing Democrats get elected
>> And they'll say open,
there's nothing we can do.
Then why don't you send the goddamn fundraising email, okay?
Why do you care about your own power?
Elect me, so I'll do nothing.
The parliamentarian, the filibuster.
What does Joe goddamn mansion think?
Joe Manchin is a right winger.
He thinks the deaths of these children is a great idea.
He doesn't want gun control.
Remember his first ad?
When he was running for Senate, he shot a bill of Obama's.
What do you shoot Obama care?
He's the one that he loves the gun violence.
And but Biden says, I'm not the president, I'm just a weekly and impotent weekly.
I just defer all over my power to Joe Mansion.
And you think Biden doesn't want it, Biden loves that Mansion as president.
He loves it cuz he doesn't want to do anything to prove me wrong, Biden.
You're not gonna prove me wrong, like a little bitch, you're gonna lie down for
a mansion and cinema and Republicans.
And you're gonna let our kids get massacred because there's nothing I
can do.
I don't know what are you happy?
Are you happy?
I told you nothing would fundamentally change,
our kids are still getting massacred.
Are you happy donors?
And they're getting a pat on the head, good job, Joe good job, go back to sleep.
Prove me wrong I guarantee you he won't, I guarantee you Pelosi Schumer and
Biden will all lay down for the Republicans.
They won't do a goddamn thing.
It's hopeless out here, totally hopeless.
>> it is hopeless. >> And if you're a right winger,
you don't ever call yourself pro life, you goddamn liars.
All of these kids are dead and you don't wanna do a thing about it.
Mental health my ass, you never once past that mental health bill,
let alone gun control.
How many of our kids are gonna get murdered?
And then the news media, the goddamn news media, they will tell us we're crazy.
You're so upset.
What are you upset about?
It's only 14 dead kids, are anchors go out there like goddamn robots and
the 14 kids are murdered.
And what held the Democrats will probably help y'all?
Yeah, well the problems are totally innocent, totally innocent.
Don't say anything about the goddamn politicians.
Why don't you hate Anderson Cooper?
I don't mean to pick on him, MSNBC and FOX News anchors, all of you.
Why don't you go kiss the ass of a politician today?
If you work at the New York Times, you know what you're gonna do today?
You're gonna kiss the ass of a politician and you're gonna say, there's nothing they
can do, there's nothing they can do, there's nothing they can do.
These mean guys online are saying that politicians are supposed to actually pass
laws and actually protect us.
They're not gonna do it.
They're all lying to you and the New York Times and CNN will come and tell you, no,
they're not lying.
They're wonderful people.
No, they're not.
They're all goddamn liars.
We're all in danger.
All in grave, grave danger.
There can be no one's gonna stop all of these massacres.
No one's ever gonna stop them.
And if you're sending your schools kids to school today or tomorrow,
I don't know if they're gonna come home.
And I don't, I'm positive no one's going to help you.
>> Yeah, you're right.
And this is what freedom is I guess.
This is what liberty is.
We tell our kids sweet little stories about freedom and liberty.
And how we're the greatest country in the world as their schools get shot up and
as they get massacred by, I mean, in some cases, 18 year old's who believe
that they need to carry out these acts of violence to save the country.
And then we get the same story over and
over again from the right wing about how we need to focus on mental health care.
As they vote down any money that would go towards a decent mental health
program in this country.
Final thing I want to get to is ken Paxton.
And I want you to keep in mind that for the last year, all we have heard from
the right wing in this country is that our educators are terrible because they
refused to go back to school in the middle of a pandemic.
When they feel unsafe, when students aren't showing up to class is because
their parents feel unsafe in the middle of a pandemic.
We've heard them defame teachers as groomers, as sexual predators,
keep all that context in mind.
As we hear what attorney general from Texas,
Ken Paxton things we need to do in response to these mass shootings.
>> I know your team has dealt with this before.
What were some of the solutions that I know that governor Abbott and Lieutenant
governor Patrick have also come up with a task forces to harden these schools.
So they're not easy targets, easy prey for crazy people who go nuts with firearms.
What can you tell us has been talked about in the past,
what has been implemented and what hasn't been?
>> Yes, sadly this has happened again and it's a horrible tragedy.
But the types of things that we talked about and
I'll never forget it after the Santafe.
It's shooting was having one point eventually, making it more difficult for
people even to get in that point of entry Make sure that they [INAUDIBLE].
And having potentially teachers and
other administrators who have gone through training and who are armed.
Because first responders typically can't get there in time to prevent a shooting,
it's just not possible unless you have have a police officer on camp on every
campus which for a lot of these schools is almost impossible.
So I think you're gonna have to do more at the school because it
typically involves very short periods of time.
And you have to have people trained on campus to react.
>> I just wanna remind you again, that the right wing has been defaming teachers as
groomers and now they're talking about arming them.
As they do in the aftermath of every school shooting.
The other thing I want to note is, there was a trained shooter at the supermarket,
where the buffalo shooter gunned down African Americans.
That security guard was an ex cop and he actually had a firearm shot at the buffalo
shooter and since he was wearing body armor, it did nothing.
So it's not a solution.
He knows it's not a solution.
And I should note when you hear all of that nonsense coming from a right
wing lawmaker, whether it's on a state level or Federal level,
understand they are openly placing priority for profits over people.
Profits over people, profits for gun manufacturers over people.
That is what they're really saying to you.
In fact, the National Rifle Association's annual meeting is set to be held in
Houston, starting on Friday.
Former President Donald Trump's, Greg Abbott and
Senator Ted Cruz are among those scheduled to address the gathering.
>> I hope they gonna cover the checks in blood because that would be more
appropriate.
And then Ted Cruz would probably love it.
In fact, I'm gonna add on Ted Cruz.
Let's just note that ken Paxton is saying, hey, I got a great idea.
Why don't we teach the teachers how to shoot the right students?
Because remember there are a lot of times their students.
Maybe they'll shoot the wrong students, but who cares, as long as people
are shooting and everybody's dying, Ken Paxton super happy about it.
Ted Cruz tweeted, Heidi and I are fervently the lifting up in prayer
the children and families in the horrific shooting in Texas.
We're in close contact with local officials, but
the precise details are still unfolding.
Thank you to heroes, law enforcement and first responders for acting so swiftly.
You're lifting up in prayer, are you?
I don't think so Ted, I think you're lifting up your check and celebrating
the massacre of those children cuz you don't give a goddamn about their lives.
Don't tell us you're praying after you already profited off of these massacres.
So Jordan, you'll TYT contributor tweeted about his NRI donations.
You know how much money Ted Cruz has made,
by helping gun manufacturers massacre your kids?
$176,274.
Average gun deaths in his state per year 3139.
All of that blood, all over Ted Cruz's hands.
But hey, he got paid, he got paid.
And by the way, you people, reporters in New York Times and
CNN those are not innocent campaign contributions,
perfectly normal, nothing to see here.
Those are bribes.
You don't give a politician money for the general good.
You give a politician money to bribe them.
But no, don't say it.
It might offend the feelings of the powerful.
You're goddamn losers.
If you're a reporter, you're not a reporter.
If you're in mainstream media, you're in the marketing arm of corporate ruling,
you don't even know your pathetic.
Why don't you actually try to challenge them instead?
What they'll do is they'll yell at us, Can you believe they lost their temper?
It was only 14 kids, it wasn't our kids.
Who cares?
Why would you lose your temper over that?
Let's just be robots, no.
Here one last little guys, vote if you can, do your homework,
there's some good incumbents, but they are very, very rare.
Go into your primaries for God's sake.
I know the media almost never talks about primaries because that's where incumbents
could lose.
And they love protecting the powerful, but go to your primaries and
vote against every incumbent as a rule.
If you find out.
Hey, you know what?
There's one incumbent that isn't so bad.
Congratulations.
You found one out of 100.
But vote against all the incumbent sons of bitches cuz they have proven over and
over again, they are never going to help you
