The assault trial has now gone off the rails, where the RFK, CDC, Susan Menares firing is crazy and the fallout so scary. You've got Mexican politicians throwing punches over the U.S. military going into Mexico. There's a Republican censorship campaign on Wikipedia that the mainstream media isn't covering. And we've got big updates on the shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School. We're talking about all of that and even more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco's show. You daily dive news. And actually, you're getting a double dose today. Because I also just dropped a new episode of my In Good Faith podcast. And today I had a conversation with journalist and former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran. And I've got links in the description so you can watch or listen on YouTube, Apple Podcast, Spotify, all the goodness. But we have a lot to talk about today. Starting with this. We need to talk about Minneapolis. Because yesterday's shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School, it devastated the community of Minneapolis. It left some families permanently changed, and we're starting to get more information about what happened and why. Now, starting with what we already knew is that yesterday morning, a 23-year-old by the name of Robin Westman opened fire through the window of the pre-K to 8th grade Ann Catholic School during morning mass meant to mark the first week of school. Two kids aged 8 and 10 were killed and another 17 were injured with 14 of those being children as well as the other three being elderly parishioners. With the shooter ultimately taking their own life behind the church. As far as updates around the victims, it looks like all of the 17 injured are expected to pull through.

With that, several of them required surgery, and as it last night, five children and one of the adults remain in critical condition. And you're saying that as they're getting treatment in the area hospitals, you've had tons of people all coming out to grieve and show their support. Multiple vigils taking place last night in and around Minneapolis, and many of them also calling for stricter gun control and end of violence that is seemingly so distinctly American.

And as far as a shooter, you've seen more information getting revealed and confirmed as investigators keep digging. The shooter's identity was confirmed yesterday during an afternoon press conference by Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara. And we were able to sneak that into yesterday's show before we went live. We know that the shooter had no previous criminal history and obtained all the weapons they had at the time of the shooting legally, which included a shotgun, a rifle, and a pistol.

It was also revealed that the shooter was a former student of Annunciation Catholic and a member of the church.

And their mother was also reportedly working there as an administrative assistant in the business office for five years before retiring back in 2021.

With then all of that brings us to the big question that is yet to be answered. Why did they open fire on a church filled with young kids? And while the precise motive is still being investigated, what we do know is that something like a manifesto was posted on the shooter's YouTube channel, scheduled to go live as the shooting happened, though it was quickly taken down. And these posts reportedly consisted of a 10 minute long video shot on a cell phone camera showing

a cache of weapons, ammo, and loaded magazines that had phrases like, killed Donald Trump and where is your god now, along with racist and anti-Semitic language. Also, in the video, the person recording who we'd notably never see the face-up, apologizes to their family and ads, I regret everything, I didn't ask for life, you didn't ask for death. With another video that was reportedly 20 minutes long showing two journals.

And at the end of that video,

the person recording reportedly flipped to a sketch layout of the Annunciation Church and stabbed

a knife into it saying they'll upload a video on the day. Additionally, another piece of the conversation

that's emerged since our coverage yesterday is the speculation surrounding Westman's gender identity.

In yesterday's press conference, the shooter was referred to as a man, but reports quickly emerged that Robin actually changed their name from Robert at 17 years old, with her mom signing off on the document at the time saying that Robin, quote, identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification. However, their identity at the time of the shooting remains unclear, with most outlages avoiding the use of pronouns altogether when reporting on Westman in the shooting. in the shooting. But this element has captured the attention of both the internet and politicians, especially after the 2023 Covenant school shooting, which was committed by a trans man with the likes of Lauren Bobert, for example, saying things like, Democrats will rush to try to use today's tragedy in Minneapolis as a pretext to disarm law-abiding Americans. I've yet to see a single Democrat acknowledge the pattern of transgender violence in our country. Today's demonic killer was a mentally disturbed man who identified as a woman. It's time to stop coddling insane people in our country. It's costing the lives of our children. And that is you saw the likes of Elon Musk responding to a similar tweet from Christy Noem, simply saying there is a clear pattern here. However, at the same time, you also saw Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry trying to get in front of

this snowball, with him urging the public yesterday to avoid scapegoating the trans community because of

the actions of a single person.

I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's being directed at our trans community.

Anybody using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there

has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate

for anyone. We should be operating from a place of love for our kids. Kids died today. This needs

to be about them. Like I said earlier, the precise motive for the shooting,
