We are the digital soldiers.
It's time they run forever.
We are the digital soldiers.
We will bring the light to this field of fight.
We are the digital soldiers.
Hi, welcome to another episode of Just Informed News.
Welcome to everybody joining us on the live stream over on Rumble.
Hopefully you guys are coming in right now.
We've got a big show to go through here today, as you probably saw in the title.
We talked about, is there a connection between the Buffalo shooter and this mass shooting down in Texas?
Horrible tragedy.
Obviously we are praying for the families of the children and all those who are lost.
In that horrendous, horrific thing that took place yesterday, which we covered briefly, but much more information has come out since that happened, and we have a lot to go through here.
I want to thank everyone who's written me so many nice messages, even the ones who are very, very disrespectful.
Thanks for watching, at least.
I really, really appreciate you guys who stand up and help out the channel when you can.
It helps me keep going, and I'm very thankful.
So we've got a lot to cover here today.
We're going to jump into the first story, which I think is probably the best place we can start.
We have a lot to cover, though, but let's go over here.
Frightening details emerge about Texas school shooters' rough home life, strange behavior leading up to elementary massacre.
And if you read through this story, there are other websites.
You know, heavy.com has another article that gives you the five facts about what you need to know about this kid.
But I like this one because it's a pretty concise one and it's got all the information pretty much packed up in here that we need to know.
And this is just where we're going to start to get a history of this kid.
As his neighbors and classmates continue to share more information about Salvador Ramos in the aftermath of the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, an all-too-familiar portrait of the killer has begun to emerge, Ramos, 18, allegedly shot and critically wounded his grandmother in rage moments before going on a shooting rampage at allegedly shot and critically wounded his grandmother in rage moments before going on a At the school, he senselessly murdered at least 19 students and two adults and injured several others before he was fatally shot by police.
Ramos was reportedly wearing a tactical vest, which I don't think that that's true, during the shooting spree and was armed with a rifle.
The mass killing immediately gripped the nation and caused widespread mourning.
Many of the victims were just 10 years old.
What are the details?
Those who knew Ramos described him as a loner, of course, who endured a rough home life with a drug-abusing mother.
He was reportedly the frequent target of bullying as a teenager due to his lisp and stutter and social awkwardness, but, they said, Ramos responded to his circumstances by violently lashing out at peers and strangers and engaging in lawless behavior, often leading to run-ins with local law enforcement.
Speaking with the Washington Post childhood friend of Ramos who used to play video games and sports with him said he would often exhibit strange behavior even cutting his own face for fun on one occasion.
That same friend said Ramos would often drive around town with another friend at night shooting random people with a BB gun and egging people's cars.
Another former friend told the Post that Ramos was bullied incessantly in middle school and junior high before he eventually stopped going to school.
One time he posted a picture on social media wearing black eyeliner.
The Post garnered a slew of negative comments.
Ramos was not on pace to graduate with his peers this year.
One high school classmate said that in recent months Ramos posted videos on Instagram where the cops were there and he'd call his mom a B-word.
And say he wanted to kick him out or she wanted to kick him out.
The classmate added that in the videos, he'd be screaming and talking to his mom really aggressively.
He worked at a local Wendy's restaurant where coworkers remembered him as mostly quiet kid with an aggressive streak.
According to Daily Beast, he would be very rude towards the girls sometimes.
And one of the cooks threatening them by asking, do you know who I am?
And he would also send inappropriate texts to the ladies, said one former coworker adding at the park.
There'd be videos of him trying to fight people with boxing gloves.
He'd take them around with him.
What else?
In the weeks before the massacre and right after he turned 18, Ramos appears to have purchased two semi-automatic rifles.
He reportedly posted photos of the guns online, along with cryptic messages.
An unidentified former classmate said that days before the attack, Ramos texted him a photo of a firearm and a bag of ammo.
Quote, he would message me here and there, and four days ago he sent me a picture of the AR he was using and a backpack full of 5.56 rounds, probably like 7 mags.
Classmate said, I was like, bro, why do you have this?
And he was like, don't worry about it.
Since deleted TikTok account that authorities believe blown Ramos featured only a short clip of a mobile game in the line, Kids be scared in real life.
Then on Tuesday, the day of the attack, he posted another photo of rifles on Instagram and tagged a random girl who lives in California.
The New York Post reported he then messaged the girl urging her to repost the image.
She responded confusedly.
Early Tuesday morning, Ramos messaged her again saying, I'm about to, the girl asked, about to what? to which he answered, I'll tell you before 11.00.
I got a little secret I want to tell you.
He wrote another message accompanied by a smiley face emoji covering its mouth.
He never shared the secret but sent one last message at 9.16 a.m.
saying, I'm going to air out.
Shortly after alerts of an active shooter in Uvalde hit the news, both the Instagram and the TikTok accounts in question were taken offline on Tuesday.
What else?
National News reporter John Moan of Newsy paraphrased an alleged eyewitness of the moments prior to the attack.
He said the eyewitness Eduardo Trinidad claimed that Ramos got into an argument with the grandmother and she was screaming.
He shot me, he shot me, and then got into a car, zoomed down the street, and there was some kind of crash.
The suspect got out, he had two weapons, and then started engaging gunfire from that point on.
Apparently, according to Mr.
Trinidad, the suspect walks into the school, and unfortunately the rest is history.
So that kind of is the whole story official, right?
But there's more to it, apparently.
Now, if you guys remember, I did a report a few days back, maybe at the beginning of this week or maybe last week, where we discussed the conspiracy surrounding the Buffalo shooter.
Now, in that video, we talked about a Discord chat server where there were logs of chats that purportedly belonged to or allegedly belonged to the Buffalo shooter and somebody who was basically coaching and guiding him on how to buy the equipment he needed to get the helmet, the ballistic gear, the gun, how to buy all that, what to buy.
Also, there was things inside the messages alluding to meetings that were taking place outside of We're good to go.
Now, it looks like there is a possibility that that same Discord chat server may have been connected to this kid.
I'm not sure that that is fully verifiable yet because it's just come out right before I started this show today.
That's why I actually started a little bit late because I was trying to get as much information as I could to bring you guys kind of a full picture of it all.
But it ultimately comes down to the fact that they...
What I've come to understand this as being, according to the people I've talked to who have looked at this closely and are still looking at it closely, what they have suggested to me is that this was a part of some group, possibly a group effort.
Now, what do I mean by group effort?
Well, I can't tell you who and I can't tell you how, because obviously that's still being investigated.
I'm sure the FBI is investigating this as we speak.
But if you look at the chats in the Discord that we talked about the other day, I'll pull this one up right here.
This is what we looked at the other day between what's presumably the Buffalo shooter and somebody named Armand.
Saying, you're not going to die an effing moron.
And it says, I could have done so much better.
I'm sorry for being such a failure a few days before the attack.
I was at Statelands, which is the place I was talking about before.
My gun wasn't working and I had this huge urge to just end it all and kill myself.
I just don't want to deal with all the struggles anymore, but I decided I might as well live one more day and walked back down to my car.
And then this, was this from the first pledge video?
And he says, yes.
So there's a couple things in here you want to take note of.
Statelands, it's an area, I think, around the Buffalo area where they could have been shooting guns and training this kid.
Then talking about a pledge video, it's like, that's kind of out of place.
What do you mean by a pledge video, right?
Um...
So there's so many questions we went through on this thread talking about it, specifically going through a bunch of other stuff, talking about a convention that they went to.
You can tell this Armand guy is grooming this Jimbo boy and basically saying everything he needs to get this kid on his side.
But it sounds like the kid was already on his side.
Now, is this some kind of relationship that's more akin to a teacher and a student?
Or somebody, an older person who is, you know, grooming this younger person online to do some awful things.
But what made it very interesting was this write-up that I had talked about from somebody over on, somebody who has been studying this very closely over on Gab, where they said, about everything, I'll read it again, Part 1 recently discovered communication between the Buffalo murderer and a currently unknown Discord user named Armand has made it clear that the current narratives of the event is incorrect.
It also turns an already terrible issue into one where we may be looking at a cell given the amount of other people who are in direct contact with the killer through this channel.
So remember this part here, a cell.
So what I've seen today is pictures from, now these are screenshots and I can't verify them so I'm not really going to share them other than to say what they are alleging, is that within that same Discord chat, A couple weeks ago, or however long ago it was before the shooting, there's a mention of Texas saying, Texas, 13 days to go, basically.
So think about this, Mike, and there was a lot of other things that we talked about, you know, March 15th being the day when they were going to try to have that happen and then it didn't happen and then it ended up happening later.
You know, there's a lot of Ides of March and things like that, but getting outside of all that, because that's kind of getting into the weeds of this, I'll just say that when you look at the evidence here, it becomes quite clear that if this pledge has anything to do with some kind of sell, And that these kids are being indoctrinated into doing these crimes, then there is something there.
And remember, I mean, what are we talking about?
We're talking about obviously mentally ill children.
And I guess not really because they're both 18, so mentally ill young men.
And what do they go do?
They go and commit these heinous crimes, but it just doesn't feel right.
You know what I mean?
Like, These kids are just snapping and going out and doing it.
Now, it could be copycat.
It could be tragic.
It is tragic, regardless of how you look at it.
But I just wanted to start there because, you know, as the media tells us that it's the gun's fault and they want to blame us all and say that we're all mass murderers because we don't want to get rid of our Second Amendment and turn ourselves into basically, you know, slaves to the government, which they've already effectively got us close to it anyway.
That...
You know, there's more going on here that I think people just glance right over and don't even take the time to look into.
What I'm seeing here is a pattern emerging where, you know, if this was a part of some cell and there are some, you know, people being groomed in this way, we have to dig deeper into that and ask ourselves what connections can be found between these two.
Who is this Armand person on Discord who was not only seemingly grooming the Buffalo shooter but may have had knowledge of what was about to happen in Texas?
Now, whether that's, you know, I'll leave that for you to kind of...
You know, figure out because it's all very new and it's all breaking.
So I literally, like I said, I had to postpone the live stream because I had to go and try to look up as much as I could.
And I finally just said, alright, I'll just go live with it and I'll throw it out there to you guys so that we can all kind of dig on this and research it.
I link everything below the video in case you were wondering.
But, with that being said, let's go over and check on the chat.
Nobody's chatting.
Oh, no.
Nobody's chatting, but we have 61 people watching, so there's that.
If you guys have anything, leave it over here in the chat.
I want to hear what you guys have to say.
Great show.
Thank you, Nico Puff.
Nico Coco Puff.
Yeah, there you go.
Great show.
I don't know what's going to happen with all this.
We'll have to wait and see.
But here we go.
Next one.
Barack Obama criticizes gun lobby, pushes action on guns in the wake of Texas shooting.
Well, of course he does.
He's come out and said that, you know, what do you say here?
It's long past time for action, any kind of action, and it's another tragedy, a quieter but no less tragic one for families to wait another day.
So, of course, they want to ban guns, and, you know, so you can imagine who would have the motive to be grooming children to make these kind of, and these are mentally ill young men, to be clear, to go out and do these crimes, so I, you know, and it's just, they have to seize on it politically.
But what seems to be coming out, too, from the pictures like you saw in the thumbnail to this video that I just showed you, this one picture here in particular seems to be the shooter, possibly the shooter.
I'm not going to say it is definitively because it hasn't been verified yet, although they say it came from the same account, one of his social media accounts.
But he seems to be a transgendered, or at least a wannabe tranny.
I don't know how you even categorize that.
He put on a skirt and wore a wig, apparently.
Obviously mental issues there.
Obviously something's wrong with him.
Now, we're not sure if that's the actual photo, but...
I was pretty sure.
I was sure enough to use it because it seems as though it might be the same person, but we'll have to wait and see.
Somebody says they have nothing to say so far over in the chat.
Well, hey, I got nothing to say either, except all this show we got to come up here.
But...
Another article over here, gun rights are more important than false security and appeasing leftists.
I couldn't agree more.
This kind of talks about how they want to take away the Second Amendment.
It is the one thing that they will go after.
Assuredly, after any crisis or tragedy like this happens, they will try to take our guns and try to tell us that it's because we have access to guns that this happens, when in reality it's mentally ill, young, deranged individuals who go out and commit these crimes, and they'll find ways to commit crimes deranged individuals who go out and commit these crimes, and they'll find ways to So the fact that they want to take away our guns is kind of like, okay.
But the politics are getting heated ever since.
F you, Ted Cruz, you effing baby killer.
Yep, now they're baby killers because they don't want to take away our guns.
So that makes you a baby killer, right?
And it's kind of the irony of it all.
You can imagine leftists have this, you know, they want abortion, so they want to be able to murder children, you know, unborn children.
But then in the same breath, they want to take away guns to save and protect children.
Which I would argue, although there was a police officer there who didn't successfully stop him from committing this crime, if more people had guns at that school, there's a higher likelihood that this kid would have never done what he did, killing, I believe, over 18 children, which is very sad, very depressing.
Border Patrol agent killed Texas shooter after rushing in with no backup, what we know about the suspect.
So this was a fascinating story.
Apparently, there was a BORTAC, U.S. Border Patrol agent, who was nearby when this attack broke out and decided to take action, went to the school, Ended up firing the shots, apparently, that killed the suspect, so we're thankful for that.
And you see, it's funny, they want to take away our guns, but they send guys with guns to go after the criminals who would presumably have guns, whether they're legal or not.
So, you know, the irony never ceases to amaze me.
Sit down, you sick son of a bee.
Gun grabber Beto O'Rourke, Robert Francis O'Rourke, actually, interrupts Texas presser following mass shooting and the audience erupts.
Here it is.
Let's watch the clip.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
You're out of line and an embarrassment.
Sir, you're out of line.
Please leave this auditorium.
I can't believe you're a sick son of a bitch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.
It's on assholes like you.
Why don't you get out of here?
That's the first amendment of God.
We're going to stay on that, but that looked like Beto O'Rourke, who is challenging Governor Abbott for the...
Yep, there you go.
Had to get in on Fox News, right?
The fact of the matter is that this whole thing is just, it's a tragedy, but it didn't take long for politics to be injected into this, for them to tell us that we need to take away all the guns.
So, you know, just another way to look at it.
Tucker Carlson saying that Joe Biden's unfit for the leadership of this country.
No kidding.
You know, come on.
Here's a good one.
Here's the most mediocre person on TV, Whoopi Goldberg, threatens violence and lashes out at Republicans following deadly mass shooting at Texas Elementary School.
So, the peace-loving leftist, Whoopi Goldberg, wants to violently attack people who don't get onto her political agenda to take away all your guns.
Let's watch.
What are we doing?
Why are we always at square one with this?
And I swear to God, if I see another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I'm going to go punch somebody.
I can't take any thoughts and prayers.
If your thoughts and prayers were really with everybody, you'd have done something by now.
It's not like anybody's not trying to make this happen.
What the hell is going on?
I want them to stop gaslighting me also.
Stop saying it's not guns that kill people, it's people that kill people.
It's guns that kill people.
Okay?
Stop saying the opposite.
Stop saying that mental illness is behind this.
There's mental illness in every country in the world and they don't have this problem.
So stop gaslighting me on that one.
And stop saying that you can have a good guy stop a bad guy with a gun.
We have seen in both of these shootings in the past three weeks that a good guy tried and could not do it.
So stop gaslighting us.
Also, the other thing about it is if you follow the money, that is what this is all about.
This campaign financing business that a person who wants to run...
I mean, I'm just a citizen in this country.
I don't know all the civics involved.
But it looks as though...
If you want to run for office, and I have a friend, my friend Robert Zimmerman is running for office now, has to raise all this money.
There's something wrong with that.
Because once you start raising the money, then you'll be holding to those people that helped you raise it.
That should be the end of, we should start right there.
And we can't rely on people like Romney and Liz Cheney, who seem to be normal.
They're both taking a lot of money from the NRA. Romney takes the most.
You know that, right?
You like Romney, I know.
People do like him.
And he's come through on a few things.
But he's part of the problem, too.
All of it.
Oh, my God.
Ugh.
Why are these stupid people allowed to be on TV? Take them off.
Cut them out.
Get them off there.
Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, the two dumbest people on TV telling us about campaign law and reform and finance.
Oh, they have to raise money and be beholden to the people who contributed to them.
Oh, you mean like the constituents who voted for them and supported them with the money?
They want dictators, obviously.
They're like, well, why do they have to be beholden to the people who fund their campaign for crying out loud?
Why can't they just be nominated by me and Whoopi and we'll make sure that they do what we say and then you won't ever say anything.
It just baffles my mind when I watch these people.
I... Okay, another story here after that.
MSNBC hack Mike Barnacle claims Republicans are the enemy after yesterday's elementary school massacre.
Well, of course, all Republicans are the enemy now.
Whoopi Goldberg's going to punch somebody in the face.
She didn't say who.
Scary.
I'd be scared to be around her.
Although I'm sure she hits like an old woman would.
But yeah, Yeah.
no free speech rights and are being basically authoritarianized by their medical tyrannies.
MSNBC contributor Mike Barnacle claimed Wednesday that Republicans were the enemies.
Yeah, you guys get the idea here.
Joe Biden suggests any American purchasing semi-assault rifles will use to kill someone.
Oh, why not?
I mean, the fact that he says this is just like, I don't even know what to say.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a storm by assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God's name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
I don't know.
What else do you need assault weapons for?
I don't know.
Have you ever hunted?
Home defense?
I guess that would be.
But you're not trying to kill...
I mean, you know, somebody breaks into your house and you're trying to defend yourself.
It's not like...
They might not die if you shoot them.
You never know.
Um...
The fact of the matter is, though, is that everything here, here are some of the responses to Joe.
It says, you will happily arm an 18-year-old with these weapons and more and send them to war.
That's fair.
But you'll send piles of these to the Ukrainians, huh?
But responsible Americans can't buy them.
True.
Why do you need drones and tanks for except to kill someone?
This dumb old coot is calling most American killers lol.
Americans killers lol the gun debate is such a joke guns don't kill mentally ill people kill mental health and poverty will continue to destroy people stop the politics and be human for a moment yeah well be nice is anyone taking safety advice from True.
The idea that your president is just wrong, but here we are.
And you get the idea.
But that did bring up another good point.
You know, Joy, or Whoopi and Joy talking about how it's, guns kill people.
It's like, look at any gun.
If you have one or if you've seen one, does the gun go off and fire by itself?
Because it's the same argument.
It's like saying that knives kill people.
It's like saying that trucks kill people.
It's like saying that, it's like, well, the logic is just so stupid.
These people are so dumb.
Ugh, it's rather annoying.
Jason Whitlock brings up a good point, though.
We should focus on Salvador Ramos' motivation rather than his mechanism for destruction.
And I'm going to read a segment from this article because I think it's worth saying and sharing.
And I'm just going to read it because it's very, very spot on here.
But it's talking about the motivation for why this kid did what he did.
It says, About the time we decided kids needed to isolate themselves to protect unhealthy people from COVID,
Ramos spent the last two years of his life in the masked, isolated world.
We constructed out of fear.
We sacrificed the mental health, mental and emotional wellness of young people for the benefit of old people controlled by fear and a lack of religious faith.
According to his friends, Ramos loved playing the violent video game Call of Duty on Xbox.
His friendships were no longer intimate and real.
He communicated and connected via Instagram direct message.
He hinted about his rampage in a direct message string with a girl in California, a girl he would never meet or talk to.
Ramos existed inside Big Tech's lonely, wicked, and divisive matrix.
We're comfortable with computers, video games, television, and smartphones seducing and babysitting young people because America has reduced children to a choice.
They're no longer our greatest responsibility, our greatest gift from God.
They're a choice made by a woman while she carries him or her in the womb.
After birth, they're a burden that stands in the way of our search for our true selves, our goal of groundbreaking career success and financial reward.
We don't value family, the nurturing, connective, and healthy bonds developed and shared between man, woman, and child.
We want to disrupt the nuclear family, God's natural order.
We think a village can raise a child.
A village motivates monsters.
Monsters turn to drugs, sex, violence for relief.
Far more kids will die of a drug overdose this year than from gun violence.
The secrets of power and control support the drug mechanism.
A drug haze makes the loss of freedom palatable.
I'd rather live with guns than with wickedness.
And that's the truth.
What he's saying there is exactly it.
See, we've atomized ourselves and our children and our families, and we've been atomized by the society that has shut down and put us in isolation and forced us into this digital matrix like he's saying there, the big text, lonely, wicked, divisive matrix.
What Jason Whitlock's hitting on is exactly the way I felt when I first heard this story and I heard the other one about the Buffalo shooter is that, you know, I always think first to these kids in these video games, and I know some of you guys are going to go, oh, that's so cliche, bro.
Like, video games don't do it.
It's like, you've got to understand, these are young, impressionable children who are being, their minds are being hacked.
I mean, look at the movies that are out there that these kids are watching.
I can't even turn them on these days because they're so dark and evil, but I know kids, good kids even, who aren't Thank God, exposed to some of the worst stuff, but they tell me about things that they watch or video games that they play, and I'm thinking to myself, does your parent know that you play this game?
Because they're engaging in this.
It's all make-believe, so it's okay, right?
I'll give you a good example, a personal story.
When I was younger, I used to get in trouble for listening to hip-hop, right?
My mom would get mad at me.
One time I was in a school bus with a teacher and I was listening to Eminem, and this was way back, you know, in the early days of Eminem when that first came out, you know, the Slim Shady album.
And I was younger, and my teacher was like, I was listening to it, and she took the headphones off and she put them on, and her face just went...
I was listening to one of the songs from his album.
And I always used to get away with it, because I would tell my mom, oh yeah, I'm just listening to it for the rhythm, the beat.
The beats are cool.
And she never really checked my music or listened to it, and that was really damaging.
And I can look back as an adult now and realize that That music had a damaging and deleterious effect on my life, as did video games, as did the internet in general.
The things that I found on the internet, the things that I was exposed to, and the movies that I watched.
These are things that we don't consider, but like it's saying here...
Children are seen as just a clump of cells, you know, an inconvenience.
They're standing in the way, as he was talking about, of us finding our true meaning in everything else, because it's all about us.
It's all about me, me, me.
But the truth is that our families should be there as a backstop to help us not fall into those traps, go down those paths.
I'm willing to open myself up to it and say, hey, I was one of the people who was very hurt by the Internet and video games and everything, all the wickedness, right?
It sucked my mind dry.
It sucked all the goodness out of me.
And it replaced it with evil and bad thoughts and everything else.
Now, as a born-again Christian who's rededicated my life and spent the last years and years devoting myself to Christ and trying to become a better Christian to help others...
I can truly see where these kids become radicalized.
And it doesn't even have to be some big conspiracy, false flags, CIAs programming their brains, MKUltra.
It doesn't have to be that.
It could literally be just the culture we live in and the things that we're exposing children to and we're allowing them to access.
Whether it's the pornography, the violent movies that are...
I mean, these movies are so violent.
I mean, have you ever seen some of these things?
I think I saw when the first Purge came out, that movie came out.
I never watched any of the ones that came out after it, but I did see that first one that came out.
The violence that was portrayed in that film...
And it goes back.
There are other movies that you could name.
I mean, there's that Saw film franchise.
There's the Hostel franchise.
I mean, these are horror films that are really, at the end of the day, marketed toward children.
And those are things that desensitize us.
The games desensitize us.
The pornography desensitize us.
The violent movies desensitize us.
And this kid had been desensitized to a point Where he was able to walk into a classroom and shoot up a bunch of children.
Now, I'm all for free speech.
I'm not sitting here saying that we need to cancel the ability for Hollywood to make movies, although in some ways, certain movies, I don't even know how they get made, to be honest with you.
But I'll say this, that it's up to the parents, and if the parents aren't there, then are you really surprised?
Don't blame the gun.
Don't blame an inanimate object that had nothing to do with the person who took the actions.
The thing the leftists don't want to, and I'm getting on a tangent here, but whatever, it's a live stream, so deal with it.
The thing the leftists don't want to acknowledge or have a conversation about is the culture that they've created.
And then you put on top of that the LGBTQ suicide cult that they indoctrinate these kids in.
And like I was saying about that picture in the thumbnail, I mean, if this kid is a product of that, which it looks like he was...
Then it explains everything.
Because he's taught to hate himself.
He's taught that he's not what he should be.
And then his mom may or may not have been a drug addict who neglected him.
So he's living with his grandparents.
So this kid basically has no parents.
So, you know, I don't know.
Maybe the leftist would say, oh, he should have been aborted.
It's like, well, what?
How does murdering help anything?
I think what we need is to societally move back toward things that are good and wholesome and teach our children good values and don't expose them to these video games.
Pay attention to what your kids are doing.
Pay attention to what they're doing online.
Pay attention to what they're doing in the movies they watch and the music they listen to.
I guarantee you, if you're a parent out there, There is something that your kid's getting into right now or has gotten into that you could never imagine, that you would be horrified by.
And I only say that because it's so prevalent and pervasive in our society that it's almost unimaginable to...
Believe that this child, this kid, wasn't made into what he was, desensitized to a point where he could do the things he did by a culture that is basically wholesale committed to by the leftists.
And a lot of people on the right, the conservative Christians, a lot of the time turn a blind eye to it and pretend it's not happening and don't talk about it and don't address it.
So, you know, I would say there's too many things that are going on in this world that I think add up to really dark things like what we're seeing now.
But the leftists never end.
The hypocrisy never ends.
Furious NBA coach Steve Kerr blames Republican U.S. Senators for Texas mass killing, says they're holding America hostage and they crave power.
Well, of course they do.
Let's watch.
I'm not going to talk about basketball.
Nothing's happened with our team in the last six hours.
We're going to start the same way tonight.
Any basketball questions don't matter.
Since we left shoot-around, 14 children were killed 400 miles from here.
And a teacher.
And in the last 10 days, we've had elderly black people killed in a supermarket.
In Buffalo, we've had Asian churchgoers killed in Southern California, and now we have children murdered at school.
When are we going to do something?
I'm tired.
I'm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the Devastated families that are out there.
I'm so tired of the, excuse me, I'm sorry, I'm tired of the moments of silence.
Enough!
There's 50 senators right now who refuse to vote on H.R. 8, which is a background check rule that the House passed a couple years ago.
It's been sitting there for two years.
And there's a reason they won't vote on it, to hold on to power.
So I ask you, Mitch McConnell, I ask all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings and supermarket shootings, I ask you, are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers?
Because that's what it looks like.
It's what we do every week.
So...
I'm fed up.
I've had enough.
We're going to play the game tonight.
But I want every person here, every person listening to this, to think about your own child or grandchild or mother or father or sister or brother.
How would you feel if this happened to you today?
We can't get numb to this.
We can't sit here and just read about it and go, well, let's have a moment of silence.
Yeah, go Dubs, you know.
Come on, Mavs, let's go.
That's what we're going to do.
We're going to go play a basketball game.
And 50 senators in Washington are going to hold us hostage.
Do you realize that 90% of Americans, regardless of political party, want background check, universal background check?
90% of us, we are being held hostage by 50 senators in Washington who refuse to even put it to a vote despite what we, the American people, want.
They won't vote on it because they want to hold on to their own power.
It's pathetic.
I've had enough.
Wow.
Strong words.
I wonder if there's a clause in his contract where he gets extra bonuses for crying at a press conference while virtue signaling.
That might be something.
But here at National File reporting...
Hey, remember this?
Steve Kerr, he successfully lobbied for police officers to be removed from Oakland schools.
Wait!
I thought you wanted to protect the children.
Why don't you want police officers to be at schools to protect them?
Oh, that's because he's a moron.
Right.
Forgot about that.
Yeah, these people, you know, it's funny because the narrative has been set that it's blame guns.
Guns are evil.
If we get rid of guns, all bad things will go away.
It's the same thing they did with COVID, interestingly enough.
You know, they said, you know, COVID's evil.
If we just get rid of COVID, then nobody will ever die again and everything will go back to normal and we'll be happy and everything will be safe.
So all you have to do is give up your rights, go lock yourself in your house, take these experimental gene therapy, you know, injections that will alter your DNA, and just let us tell you what to do next, right?
Yeah.
So he's a moron.
So I just thought I'd share that.
Let's see.
Here we have the scripture of the day for our God's Grace's Greater segment.
I am the vine, you are the branches, the one who remains in me.
And I in him produces much fruit because you can do nothing without me.
Love that verse.
Love that verse.
So that's going to be in our God's Grace's Greater segment, which...
We'll just jump into right now because, hey, we're going to try to do shorter shows from now on.
So this is the God's Grace is Greater segment.
Let's get right into it.
I'm going to read out of the book of John, chapter 15, through verse 1 through 8.
Jesus said, I am the true vine and my father is the vineyard keeper.
Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes and he prunes.
Every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, and I in you.
Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine.
You are the branches.
The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit because you can do nothing without me.
If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers.
They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
My Father is glorified by this, that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples.
Now, we're going to go through a lot of John.
I love starting here in John with this verse particularly because it speaks to the truth.
The truth is in what Jesus told us and explained to us.
And it's only through learning his words, his gospel, that we're able to understand how we're supposed to live our lives.
But I love this verse because it talks about how he is the true vine, but his father is the vineyard keeper.
And this is Jesus talking to his disciples basically on earth in human form at that point.
He had taken the form of a human at that point, and knowing that he is God and he is with his father, he's telling them, A way for them to understand, obviously this is a part of his speaking in parables, speaking in ways that he drew up these ways for his disciples to understand what he was saying.
But it says here that every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes.
And he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.
So I'm in California, right?
And I started growing grapes.
And I'm actually fascinated by this first because I started growing these big vines, right, in my backyard.
And I'm growing these grapes and I'm watching the vines grow up and crawl up the trellis that I made.
And as it's going up, you know, I was thinking of this first.
I'm thinking about how, you know, what's he describing here?
He's giving them an example of something that they could relate to and understand to see how his relationship toward them is through God.
And I love that he talks about how he is the vine.
He is truly the one that produces the harvest and the fruit, right?
But we are the branches, right?
We are the branches that basically help support the vine.
And God's the one who comes and tends it.
And what he's saying there, as I'm pruning my grape vines, it's true.
You have to take some out, and you have to cut some off, and you have to throw it aside, especially when you start...
I haven't started yielding grapes yet, because the way it's timing is going to be coming.
But what you do basically is, in order to help the grapes get bigger and grow in bigger bunches, you take a lot of the excess away and you prune it down, right?
The stuff that's not producing.
Because that way, the energy that goes into the leaves comes out through these grapes and they get bigger and there's more bunches, so there's more grapes.
Well, what Jesus is basically telling his disciples is that God acting through Jesus works in us that if we're not producing for the faith, if we're not going into the world making disciples, if we're not sharing the gospel, if we're not if we're not going into the world making disciples, if we're not sharing the gospel, if we're not spending time in it, then we basically get
And it's not to say that God doesn't love everyone, but God understands that you have to actively work toward him for him to come toward you.
And Jesus is saying that all of this is possible through him because he is that connection point.
He is the vine that helps create the branches, that helps create the fruit that comes.
And God is the one that has basically planted it all and oversees it all.
So I love this verse because it speaks to me in the way that, you know, especially when you start growing, and I've been trying to get into gardening more, growing fruit and growing vegetables, things to eat healthy and fresh, and I suggest you do too.
And maybe I'll do some videos on that if you guys want me to do that.
But it just keeps talking about how if you remain in God and remain in Jesus, he will remain in you.
Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.
So it's saying also that the branches can hold the fruit, but if they're not connected to the vine, then there is no sustenance, there's no energy going into them, so they just wither up and die.
And when God...
Clears the vine and prunes it, those branches just go on the ground and they get thrown into a pile and they get set on fire is what he's talking about, and that's hell.
So we have to be of the vine, living in the scripture, sharing the gospel, working for God every day, and never allowing ourselves to believe that God is going to walk away from us.
We have to walk toward God.
God's always going to come toward us, but if we're going the opposite direction, as I say all the time, how's God ever going to catch us?
It goes on.
Jesus says he is the vine and we are the branches.
The one who remains in him and I in him produces much fruit because you can do nothing without me.
Again, the example is clear that we cannot produce the fruit of what we are learning in this scripture without Jesus, without the vine, and God is overseeing it all.
But it says, Well, that's what you get.
You go to the fiery pits of hell when you don't live for Christ.
And this kid...
Sad as it may be, who went and shot up all these people, he has been cast aside now.
He's dead.
And he's gone probably, I don't know what God's will is, but I'm sure if what he did is what he did, he's going to hell.
He's going to burn eternally.
But we have to guard ourselves against that.
So it just goes on, it says, if you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
This is again talking to the fact that all things are possible through God, right?
Anything that we do, if we do it with God in mind, looking to God, asking God for guidance and wisdom and strength, we can do it.
Now, it may not be exactly how we want it to get done, but...
If God wills it for us in our lives, He can do it.
So I encourage you all to remember that with your hearts open to God and calling out to Him in prayer because it's saying here, ask and you shall receive.
And we'll talk about that a little bit more in John going further in the chapter 17 and 18 where it talks about that.
So, you know...
Again, it goes on, it says, So at the end of the day, we're honoring God by sharing the gospel.
And when we honor God, we can produce much fruit, and we can go to God in prayer and ask Him for anything, and He can do it for us if He wills it.
So that just should tell you guys where we should be at in our lives and how we treat each other and how we look at the world.
To not get so lost in anger and division and hatred, but to get lost in Christ.
To get lost in the scripture.
To go to God every day and say, God, help me find my way.
Show me the path.
Help me do great things for you.
Help me understand what I can do as a branch in following Jesus the vine and trusting in you, the vineyard keeper.
So that's where I'm going to leave it.
Share that with your friends and family.
We're going to do more out of John, I promise.
I'm excited about this.
We're going to get through a bunch of sections of John, and there's a lot here, so I'm very excited.
But that's where we're going to leave it.
I'll end it with a prayer, and then I'll go check the Super Chats, or whatever it is, the chat.
Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for this day.
We thank you for all your many great blessings.
We pray you'll be with us in all ways.
Help us understand how we can serve you and be in you as Jesus taught us, understanding that he is the vine and we are the branches and you are the vineyard keeper.
That we may honor you with our lives and let those lives produce much fruit.
We ask in your Son's name now that you show us the way.
Show us the path.
Show us the way forward to overcome the evil of this world and live in you.
And we thank you for the opportunity to get up every day and to work hard for you and live a righteous life.
We thank you for that and most of all our eternal salvation.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
That's pretty much it for me.
We'll go look at the chat real quick, see if anybody's said anything.
Lucas Jackson says he doesn't believe Sandy Hook.
All right, well, that's on you.
I haven't done enough research on Sandy Hook other than to say I've heard a lot of the theories out there.
It says, I'd rather jam sharp sticks in my eye than watch these cackling bitties.
Yeah, The View.
Yeah, they are a bunch of cackling witches.
Then Devon70 says, if guns cause mass shootings, then alcohol doesn't cause DUIs.
Cars do.
Let's ban cars.
Yeah, why not?
That's reasonable logic to me, I believe.
A few other comments below.
