00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.480
Welcome back to another world of blaze. It is December fifteenth,
2
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.960
twenty twenty five. We were ten days away from Christmas,
3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:17.239
although you wouldn't know it, we were deep into the
4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:23.079
month of goodwill and cheer to all men. But again
5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.120
you definitely wouldn't know. It doesn't feel that way. Over
6
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.679
this weekend, we had a terrorist attack in Australia where
7
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:37.280
two radicalize Islamic extremist targeted Jews at a festival on
8
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:42.520
Bondi Beach, but a mass shooting at Brown University. In America,
9
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.920
we also had a terrorist organization whose leaders were arrested
10
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.439
before they carried out a terrorist event on New Year's
11
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:59.799
Eve where they planned to bomb five different targets. In America,
12
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.000
Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death, murdered
13
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.599
by their son and our president, President Donald Trump, the
14
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.599
American president, the President of the United States, decided to
15
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.200
make it about himself, make it political. He is usual
16
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.879
narcissistic self, and yeah, I showed the world he has
17
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.200
no empathy, and so is the world, and so is America.
18
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.719
This is the shit show that has been twenty twenty five.
19
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.519
And while we want twenty twenty five behind us, as
20
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.120
quickly as possible before we get there, I'm going to
21
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.920
continue to try to shed light on what is happening.
22
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.000
I will give you my informed opinion, and unfortunately this
23
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:50.280
episode is just sad, sad, sad. Let's start with Australia.
24
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.480
Here's what we know. We have a father and son
25
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.840
duo who got together decided to target Jews who were
26
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:03.359
celebrating a festival Hanukah event in Australia on Bondi Beach. Now,
27
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.240
this is an annual festival. These two people, these radicalized
28
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.800
Islamic extremists, decided that they were going to open fire
29
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.120
on these people. In fact, it's been reported that fifteen
30
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:24.080
people were murdered murdered by these radicalized Islamic extremists. And
31
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.319
I'm going to keep saying that because the Government of
32
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.479
Australia wants to make sure that we don't refer to
33
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.000
these people this way, that we don't forget about the
34
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.879
fact that the goal of Australia, apparently end of the
35
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.800
world is to be inclusive, not discriminatory towards anybody regardless
36
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:48.400
of their religion, belief, et cetera. So we can't say
37
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.599
that these were Islamic extremists can't say that they're a Muslim,
38
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.840
even though that's exactly what they were. These two individuals, apparently,
39
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.960
or at least the Sun had ties to the Islamic state.
40
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.360
They chose to carry out this heinous act of violence
41
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:10.800
and terror, And yet the Australian government wants to focus
42
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.800
on stricter gun laws a country where it is very
43
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.360
hard for anybody in Australia to own a gun. As
44
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.240
it is, they already have some of the strictest gun
45
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.080
laws in the world. But it's still it's the guns.
46
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:31.360
It's the guns, not the person, not the radical extremist views,
47
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:40.520
not the anti Semitic outlook, not the racial inclination. No,
48
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.039
has nothing to do with that at all. It's the guns.
49
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.680
At least that's what the Australian government is saying. I'm
50
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.520
gonna show you some footage though, I'm gonna show you
51
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.159
some video and for those who aren't watching, I'll do
52
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.159
my best explain what's going on graphic. It's real footage,
53
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.400
this from Australia. Let me go ahead and queue this
54
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.400
up here, switch over and there you go. Now again,
55
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:12.039
this is real footage. This is the shooting. Now. It
56
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.680
doesn't show people actually getting shots. So you're not gonna
57
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.560
see an bloodspray or anything like that, but it's still
58
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:22.160
considered graphic content. It is real, it is violent. Here
59
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:28.920
we go now for those who aren't watching, that is
60
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.759
the father and son crossing a bridge that goes over
61
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:38.319
a parking lot there and they're opening fire on these
62
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.560
festival attendants. In fact, you could hear the music in
63
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:56.920
the background, and so there's that footage there. And all
64
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.519
I can say is the silver line is that an
65
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.480
innocent bystander, another person who happened to be there in
66
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.399
the parking lot, decided to stop it. Couldn't take it.
67
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.639
Another person, this person actually being Muslim, someone from Syria
68
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:19.839
came to Australia to live, I believe, and this person said, no,
69
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.759
we're not doing this today. This person, who served as
70
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.720
a police officer himself previously decided that he's not going
71
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.519
to go for this. Decided that as a Muslim, he
72
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.279
didn't care if it was Jews who was being targeted.
73
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.759
He believed in the sanctity of life, live and let live.
74
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.079
And so this person jumped in, disarmed one of the shooters,
75
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.879
but unfortunately took to himself, took two bullets and is recovering.
76
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.240
So yes, heroes do exist. I have footage of that
77
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:52.920
as well, and again I'll do my best to explain
78
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.040
this for those who are only listening, I'm going to
79
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.399
switch this over and here's the video of this hero.
80
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.439
So for those who can't see, the guy was hiding
81
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.360
behind a car, ran up to the shooter, arm around
82
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.000
his neck, took his gun and threw him to the ground,
83
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.639
and he trained his gun on him. So this person's
84
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.399
trying to walk away the person who was shooting the shooter,
85
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.360
and the hero of the day continues to keep the
86
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.439
person at bay. Now, unfortunately he did take a couple
87
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.959
of bullets himself. The camera seems to panel is following
88
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.759
the action here and it goes over to his son,
89
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.720
I believe, who's on the bridge continues to shoot, is
90
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:50.399
firing at the hero and other people who are just
91
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:59.800
happening to stand there. This is crazy. This is the
92
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.360
we live in right now. It's as if this stuff
93
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:11.000
is becoming normal. Mass shootings, terrorist events, Jews being targeted,
94
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:21.000
people being targeted. Here's a here's a report from NBC
95
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.240
News over in Australia, and this is what they had
96
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.839
to say. A father and son who lived in a
97
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.680
quiet Sydney suburb, one a licensed gun owner, the other
98
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.959
previously investigated for potential extremists associations. All right, let me
99
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:44.079
stop there. One of these people was already under investigation
100
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:53.000
previously or extremist associations. All right, let's go. Let's go
101
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.120
ahead and keep reading and see how how this plays out.
102
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.600
Like obviously, the Australian government here fumbled the ball big time,
103
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.040
with fifteen people confirmed dead. Sunday's attack on the famous
104
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.079
Bondi Beach is Australia's deadliest shooting in decades. Officials said
105
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.680
the shooters targeted the Jewish community and were clearly motivated
106
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.879
by extremist ideology when they unleashed a volley of bullets
107
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.959
from a bridge at the gathered crowds. Officers fatally shot
108
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.240
the fifty year old father at the scene, while the
109
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.199
twenty four year old son suffered critical injuries and was hospitalized.
110
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.959
The attack has set off renewed scrutiny of not only
111
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.200
Australian gun laws and efforts to combat anti Semitism, but
112
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.320
also what authorities knew about the duo accused of carrying
113
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.840
out the attack. So again, right away, it was the guns.
114
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.399
It was the first thing that was mentioned in this
115
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.600
article as well, sets off renewed scrutiny of not only
116
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.879
Australian gun laws. Of course, because it was the guns.
117
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:57.279
It wasn't the extremists continue to read here. Three senior
118
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.960
law enforcement officials in the US and Australia told NBA
119
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:04.879
News that the investigators had attentatively identified one of the
120
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:10.159
suspects as Navid A Crum. Australia's national broadcaster ABC named
121
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:14.039
the suspects as I think it's said or y sa'uid
122
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:18.679
Acram and his son, Navida crom The younger suspect was
123
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.559
an Australian born citizen who first came to the attention
124
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:29.279
of the Australian Intelligence Agency in October twenty nineteen. Hold
125
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.000
on the son who carried out this attack with his father.
126
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.279
The son was previously under investigation in twenty nineteen by
127
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:44.200
the Australian Intelligence Agency. I mean, if the intelligence agency
128
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:51.159
of any country is investigating you, yeah, there's something going on.
129
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.480
There's a reason this person probably shouldn't have been in
130
00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:01.720
Australia since twenty nineteen. But let's continue reading. He was
131
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:06.960
examined on the basis of being associated with others, others
132
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:12.360
whom they won't identify. Interesting, an assessment was made that
133
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.320
there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat
134
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.279
of him engaging in violence. While that just proved to
135
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.159
be wrong. You know, there's that thing called go your gut.
136
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.399
If the Australian Intelligence Agency thought that there was merit
137
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.360
to investigate this person based on his associations while, then
138
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.279
go the gut. Because fast forward to December twenty twenty five,
139
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:44.039
and this person is carrying out an extreme Islamist terrorist
140
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.279
event in which he is targeting and killing Jews on
141
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:54.120
Bondi Beach in Australia. So this isn't the first time
142
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.919
this sort of thing has happened. There was also the
143
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.000
other event that happened here in America just I mean
144
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.679
damn only a couple of weeks ago, where National Guards
145
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.000
people were shot, one of them killed by another person
146
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.879
who had ties or worked with the CIA, so or
147
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.879
someone who's known by the government but yet allowed to
148
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:25.200
walk around under the guise of refugee status, the protection
149
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:30.320
of refugee status and carried out a targeted terrorist event
150
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.360
here in US soil. A few weeks later, Bondi Beach
151
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:40.080
Jews are targeted by extreme radicalized Islamist Again these people.
152
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.840
At least The SUN was under investigation by the Australian
153
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.320
Intelligence Agency in twenty nineteen, but didn't pose a threat,
154
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.679
didn't think anything would happen. Well, let's go ahead and
155
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.960
read some more news. Let's go to BBC. Let's see
156
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.759
what they have to say about this Bondi shooting. Appears
157
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:59.600
to be motivated by Islamic State ideology, says the Australian
158
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.440
Prime min That's true. Now this is interesting because there's
159
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.519
a live update. This update came out today. In fact,
160
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.320
it came out and was updated about five minutes ago.
161
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.240
What time is it here is six twenty five pm
162
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:16.360
My time twelve fifteen, twenty twenty five, So December fifteenth,
163
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:21.200
twenty twenty five at six twenty five pm. So these
164
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:26.000
people had ties and were motivated by the Islamic State.
165
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.159
So they had ties to Islamic State and they were
166
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:34.360
motivated by the Islamic State. The Australian Intelligence Agency was
167
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:38.720
also investigating the Sun for ties to others. Big quotes
168
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.759
for people aren't watching others and air quoting here other
169
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.320
organizations that they won't name except until today with this
170
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.120
update from the BBC. The Prime Minister of Australia admitted
171
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:58.399
it but didn't want to say so earlier. But let's
172
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.120
focus on the guns. Let's focus on gun laws because
173
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:06.039
it had nothing to do with the extreme Islamist ideology whatsoever,
174
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.039
because it was the guns. It was the guns. Had
175
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.960
nothing to do with these people being tied to Islamic state.
176
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.360
I mean, they tried not to say it, they tried
177
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:20.679
not to say what the other relationships were. No, No,
178
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.840
it was the guns. Damn it. If these guys didn't
179
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.279
have access to a bolt action rifle, this never would
180
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.639
have happened, Never would have happened. What they didn't tell
181
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.240
you is that there was later reports that said they
182
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:41.120
also had explosives in their vehicles ready to go. So
183
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.759
then where's the law against buying household chemicals to make bombs?
184
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.000
I mean, if we're gonna blame the guns, might as
185
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:57.440
well blame the household chemicals, might as well blame everything
186
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:03.240
that makes up a homemade bomb from materials you could
187
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:08.399
buy at the hardware store or even your gardens supply store. Interesting, right,
188
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.360
But it was just the guns. It had nothing to
189
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:15.480
do with the ideology. But let's not call all Muslims
190
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.600
bad people. And that's not what I'm trying to say whatsoever,
191
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.120
because again, remember our hero, he was a Muslim. He
192
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.600
was a person that couldn't stand for it. So I'm
193
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.600
gonna read a little bit more about this person, at
194
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.840
least what has been reported from the Guardian. It was
195
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:35.039
a matter of conscience. Ahmed All Ahmed's family reveal why
196
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:40.679
he risked his life to disarm alleged Bondy shooter. When
197
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.039
Ahmed al Ahmed tackled and wrestled a gun from an
198
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:47.080
alleged shooter at Bondi Beach, he was simply thinking he
199
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:50.639
couldn't bear to see people dying. Less than a day later,
200
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.879
Ahmed remains in a critical but stable condition at Saint
201
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.279
George Hospital in Sydney. Since the attack, the forty three
202
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.960
year old father of two young girls has kind of
203
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.480
pulled it the international fame with a GoFundMe page already
204
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.759
raising more than one point three million Australian Good for him,
205
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:12.159
risked his life. He did some good he deserves. That
206
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.120
took a couple of bullets. He's in critical right. So
207
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.679
Anthony Albany singled out Ahmed at a press conference in Monday,
208
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.000
paying tribute to his actions as an example of Australians
209
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.360
coming together. Ahmed al Ahmed took the gun off that
210
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.600
perpetrator at great risk himself and suffered serious injury as
211
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.320
a result of that and is currently going through operations
212
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:40.480
today in the hospital. The NSW Premier Chris Mins visited
213
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.320
Ahmed in hospital and posted on Instagram praising the real
214
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.440
life hero last night. His incredible bravery no doubt saved
215
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:51.320
countless lives when he is armed a terrorist at enormous
216
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.639
personal risk. Mins wrote, there is no doubt that more
217
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:59.000
lives would have been lost if not for Ahmed's selfless courage.
218
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.240
At least team people, including one of the alleged gunmen,
219
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.200
were killed in the mass shooting during a Hanukkah celebration
220
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:14.679
on Sunday evening. So here's a Muslim, here's an individual
221
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.399
from Syria who decided he couldn't take it, said, this
222
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.480
isn't happening. I'm not going to let this happen. Now.
223
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.480
Here's the thing, though, why don't we see more of this?
224
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:28.360
Because people are afraid of calling out who carries out
225
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.559
these attacks? Right, They don't want to say the Muslim
226
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.279
they don't want to say their islamis because they don't
227
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.039
want to sound racist, the don't want to be bigoted,
228
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:40.519
et cetera. But then we have examples like we're this guy,
229
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.519
this innocent bystander, this person who chooses to be a hero,
230
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:50.440
isn't Muslim perfect example of someone who is looking out
231
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.519
for the sanctity of life. Why do we not have
232
00:16:53.600 --> 00:17:00.960
more Muslims calling out and denouncing these extremists because it's
233
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:04.240
they say, like, well, it's only it's only like three percent,
234
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:09.000
ten percent that are the bad people that are carrying
235
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:14.039
out these heinous acts, who believe in conquering the world.
236
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:19.599
But yet there isn't enough good Muslims who speak up
237
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:24.359
against it or fight out against it. Why is that?
238
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.720
I mean, we easily call out the Jews, the Jews
239
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:34.119
that were targeted, what we can't call out the Muslims,
