Welcome to Fearless with Jason Whitlock. I am Jason Whitlock your host. Thank you for joining me today on this very happy Wednesday.

We're all grateful for being alive and well. Happy hump day. We have a it's a great show but I'm going to call it an important show playing for you today.

We're going to go all Tennessee Harmony today with Pastor Bobby and Pastor Anthony. We'll be there here with me in studio. We'll be joined via Skype by Fearless Soldiers Dave Shannon and TJ Mo.

We're going to dive into the events in Texas, the school shooting that I believe 18 children, two adults and the shooter. All dead.

We're going to try to do a deep dive on on that topic with Anthony and Bobby and then invite our contributors into the conversation.

I'm going to start it out by providing us a little context and maybe a jumping off point for the discussion and then we'll turn to Bobby and Anthony and get their thoughts and eventually we'll bring Dave Shannon and TJ Mo and get more thoughts.

But obviously the mass shooting in Texas is a big event that everyone in the country is talking about and concerned about and hopefully we can we'll start with my perspective and then we'll get with a more biblical perspective from Anthony and Bobby.

So let's get the party or let's get the show started with a little fire. I would rather live with guns than unchallenged wickedness. I would rather fight the demons that provoke Salvador Ramos' killing spree than disarm our citizen tree.

The right to bear arms is the primary protector of American freedom. I don't love guns. I love what they guarantee. They're the lone defense against a government's natural instinct to seize power and exercise control.

In the immediate aftermath of Salvador Ramos' horrific rampage at a Texas Elementary School, America's seekers of power and control focused on the teenage mass murderers mechanism and ignored his motivation.

The gun is the bad guy, not the demonic forces that radicalize in 18 year old to gun down second, third and fourth graders.

Our current leadership elite prescribed a secular solution for an obvious spiritual problem. They believe the mechanism gun trumps the motivation evil.

They would rather live with unchallenged wickedness than guns. President Joe Biden said he reflected on the Texas tragedy during his 17 hour flight back from Asia.

He compared America to the rest of the world. Take a listen.

What struck me was these kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world. Why? They have mental health problems.

They have domestic disputes in other countries. They have people who are lost. But these kinds of mass shootings never happen with the kind of frequency they happen in America. Why? Why are we willing to live with this carnage?

There is some truth to what President Biden is saying that these types of tragedy are rather compared to the rest of the world, commonplace in America.

But part of it might be that American citizens enjoy a form and level of freedom. The rest of the world does not. That freedom is a byproduct of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution.

The price of freedom is extremely high. No one I know, no one wants to see 18 school children slaughter. Many of us believe there are measures that can be taken to reduce mass shootings that don't infringe upon the country's founding principles.

Before Biden spoke, Vice President Kamala Harris could jolt her political peers to take action. Let's hear from the Vice President.

Enough is enough. As a nation, we have to have the courage to take action and understand the nexus between what makes for reasonable and sensible public policy to ensure something like this never happens again.

So the nexus that she's talking about is actually a trade off. She is suggesting what politicians have repeatedly asked American citizens to do the last 25 years in particular.
