Why Did "Rob" Westman Kill Part 1

Why Did "Rob" Westman Kill Part 1

Law enforcement expert and CEO of InvestUSA.org Michael Letts joins us to discuss the Minneapolis shooting involving 23 year old Rob Westman.

What drove him to mercilessly kill 2 young kids at a Catcholic school, and injured 17 others? Was it violent video games, medication, AI Affirmation, cultural hatred, or something far more sinister that no one wants to talk about...?

1
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,240
All right, we're back and this
is America today.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,680
Don't forget to follow the
podcast at America or Jim

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,600
watkins.org, jimwatkins.org.
All the best highlights,

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,080
including our interview
yesterday with Michael Letts

5
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,360
where we delved into what I
thought was breaking news, but I

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,120
don't know.
We didn't get a lot of traction,

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,800
but we broke some news yesterday
with regard to Barack Obama.

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,880
Yes.
And then everything got blown

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,000
off the map with a shooting.
Yeah, Minnesota.

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,120
Sometimes I wonder whether
they're listening.

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,520
Listening.
Oh, we better create a story

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,480
real quick.
I know that one's going out.

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,160
Yeah, What do they say?
There's no coincidences.

14
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,720
There's no such thing as a
coincidence.

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,600
All right, so let's break this
down.

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,040
Michael, you're a cop.
You know what this is all about?

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,320
You know what all this is?
Give me your honest to goodness

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,800
impression of how things went
down and what you think was

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,680
behind the shooting by Rob.
I'm going to refer to him as Rob

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,280
because that applies to Robin or
Robert.

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,240
And God forbid me offend anyone
but Rob Westman.

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,120
Not a not a happy guy.
No, not a happy transgender,

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,200
that's for sure.
But let's talk about let's let's

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,240
start off with a positive gun
about what occurred.

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,200
You had a very rapid response
from law enforcement, and I give

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,000
them a hats off for that.
You watch the video now, when

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,640
they pull up on the scenes,
remember, they didn't know that

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,840
he'd already committed suicide.
So you have an active shooter,

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,320
you don't know where he's at,
and you have all these authors

30
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:45,680
jumping out and rushing into the
scene.

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Most of them did not have active
shooter vests.

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,080
So they knew that they were
putting themselves in death's

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,080
way, not harm's way, death's
way, and willing to do it

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320
anyway.
So hats off to them.

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,080
I commend their service and
thank them for doing what they

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,520
could to protect those children.
And maybe we should send them

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,440
some vests.
How?

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,400
How's that?
Yes.

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,039
There's no question that you
should need the best.

40
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,160
You know what's interesting?
I'm giving people a statistic

41
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,240
just to show you not only do
they need the best, you know,

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,440
Minneapolis typically has almost
1000 officers.

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
As of today, they're running
about 520.

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,040
So that just shows you how bad
it is all across the country,

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,360
including Minneapolis, running
at almost a 50% capacity instead

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,320
of 100%.
Now that having been said, that

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,720
was the positives.
What are the negatives?

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,600
Let's talk.
We'll talk about twofold.

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,160
We'll talk of the shooter at the
end.

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,240
Let's talk about the overall
negatives.

51
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,280
To begin with, you had an
incident to where, once again,

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,280
there were what we call tail
signs, signs everywhere, a

53
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,520
manifesto that was put up on
social media, threats on social

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,320
media, etcetera.
You know, I pulled the last nine

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600
active shooter events that we've
had.

56
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,160
And by the way, I'm just going
to tell it like it is.

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400
You may not like it, but you're
going to have to deal with the

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,960
facts.
Every one of the last nine were

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,240
committed by a transgender.
Every one of the last 9, not

60
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,440
just the last time, all of the
reactive shooter, which I

61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,520
remember this from years back,
have always had a telltale sign

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,080
ahead of time.
Now, why is that important for

63
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,160
me to bring that up?
We had the Federal Bureau of

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,240
Investigation supposed to be
protecting us from domestic

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,640
terrorism.
You try to threaten the

66
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:31,560
president, see how quick you get
a call and see how fast

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,280
somebody's all over you.
So don't tell me that we don't

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,400
monitor social media because I
know we do.

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,240
So why do when we see these tail
signs come up, there's nothing

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,560
being done to step in to make
sure the your area that it's

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,280
going to be done in and the
jurisdictions are where so they

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,440
can prepare to deal with it and
thwart it from ever occurring.

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,440
I've raised this question many
times in the past.

74
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,600
Nobody's paying attention to no
bill.

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,560
They're not doing it.
Something we're going to have to

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,600
address.
I appreciate Cash Patel saying

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,840
this was a hate crime.
He's exactly right because of

78
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,760
the Now we're dealing with the
third aspect of government.

79
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:17,360
The gunman has Arabic training
leanings, Muslim leanings and

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,839
dispositions.
So this is a Muslim terrorist

81
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,240
going after Christianity,
Catholics, Christians.

82
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,280
We're seeing more and more of
that.

83
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,960
And how does it tie in with the
transgenders?

84
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,000
Well, you know, this is what
they're doing to our young

85
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,800
people.
They're telling them you, you're

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,120
so confused, you don't even know
if you're a guy or a gal.

87
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,040
We're going to give you some
drugs.

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Certainly not going to help the
situation, dealing with the root

89
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,480
problem, helping you figure out
what guys are all about.

90
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,080
It's just going to make you
numb.

91
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Making you numb makes it easier
than to figure out, well, I'm

92
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,360
numb because I've got anger
issues.

93
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,520
I've got problems with identity
of depressed, etcetera, who may

94
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,720
be depressed, etcetera.
Well, the mainstream media is

95
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,000
all too happy to tell you who to
blame, that of the liberal,

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,000
leftist Democratic activists
will tell you, these

97
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,760
conservatives, they're telling
you that your lifestyle is not

98
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,360
normal.
Well, guess what folks?

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,640
Take a look here.
In the last week or two, the

100
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,240
American Medical Association has
come out and now said

101
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400
transgenderism is a mental
illness.

102
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,040
LGBT community, you're next.
It all is, is a mental illness.

103
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,360
And the way they try to treat it
is they try to treat it by

104
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,800
giving you drugs instead of
dealing with the issue, dealing

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,360
with you, drugs that numb you up
so you don't feel anything.

106
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Once you don't feel anything.
Heck, I'm going to go after who

107
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,720
they're telling me is causing
these problems.

108
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,400
I'll go after these
conservatives.

109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,600
And that's where we're going to
see active shooters in schools,

110
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:52,000
Christian schools, active
shooter situations in shopping

111
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,880
centers and churches.
They are determined to eliminate

112
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,280
what they're being told is a
threat.

113
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:02,000
And you and I both know, Jim,
how many times have the liberal

114
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,720
left us come out and say, you
know, the problem in this

115
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,880
country is this, Tamara, there's
a terrorist of the white

116
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,200
supremacists or supremacists.
It's all these conservatives who

117
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,920
are white supremacists that are
causing all the problems.

118
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,560
They're the bad people.
You got the people that are

119
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,960
doped up don't know what else to
do.

120
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,680
They're going after him.
And we're getting get that

121
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,440
chickens are coming home to
roost.

122
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000
Michael Letts is with us.
He's the CEO and founder of

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Invest usa.org, a wonderful
organization by the way.

124
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,760
And he's also a former top cop
special forces.

125
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,160
The guy knows a thing or two
about this.

126
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,920
I'm sure you've seen it probably
up close more than most.

127
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,560
And So what about the
conversations he supposedly had

128
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,880
with ChatGPT?
Any any Intel on that?

129
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,000
Yeah, you know, those, those
those chats are demonstrating

130
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
more and more to what we're
saying.

131
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,680
This is a this was a plan.
This was not just some crazy

132
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,080
nut.
This is a planned activity and

133
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,200
it's a planned activity by a
group that are what we should

134
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,240
have been calling all along.
This is what I'm calling on.

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,120
Of course they're all going to
throw eggs at you, Jim, if you,

136
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,200
if you keep this, if you don't
edit this out of your show.

137
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,360
But.
I think that.

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,080
You know, the, I think that the,
you know, these transgender,

139
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800
well, say transgenders are
putting it all in one kind of

140
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160
category, LGBT, et cetera,
should be what what they are.

141
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,600
They're terrorist organizations.
They're being used to poison the

142
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,000
minds of our young people and
then they're putting in the

143
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,800
place of values and principles.
They're putting in the place

144
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,760
hatred, and that hatred is
coming out now.

145
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,040
It gets children.
Can you imagine you're shooting

146
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,720
8 and 10 year old kids?
That's shocking.

147
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,440
I mean, there is no more.
I can't think of anything that

148
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,360
is more Those are the innocents.
Those are the ones that we are

149
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,400
to protect.
We're not protecting them.

150
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,920
Then you got teachers at the
public school down the road that

151
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,480
are feeding children, especially
in a place like Minnesota where

152
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,000
they've all but adopted.
I think it's a sanctuary city

153
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,040
for trans youth.
So when you start.

154
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Yeah.
You take a look at the

155
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,560
curriculum.
Well, what is this gender

156
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000
curriculum?
And we we know they try to make

157
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,640
it sound more innocent than what
it is so that they don't get

158
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,960
many parents upset.
Well.

159
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Of course.
But they're basically telling

160
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,200
our kids, General, this is all
normal for you to decide you're

161
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,800
a boy today and then you're a
girl tomorrow.

162
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,960
That's all normal.
That's great.

163
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,880
That's fantastic.
They're filling our kids heads

164
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,960
with garbage.
And then when they get so

165
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,039
confused that they start having
problems, they just handle a

166
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,720
bottle of pills and say, here,
this will take care of it.

167
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,440
Yeah, it loves them.
It knows with the zombies, they

168
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,560
don't know what to do and
they're easily manipulated by

169
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,880
the extremists as to what to do
once they get to that point.

170
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,160
Well, I'm really glad that you
came on the program and and told

171
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,440
us this because I don't think
that, like I often say, if you

172
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,520
don't ask the right questions,
you're not going to get the

173
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,000
right answers.
And right now they're questions

174
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,600
they're asking is how do we dope
up kids even more?

175
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,840
You know what, we got to turn
this into a mental illness issue

176
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,440
where we need to make sure that
our children are monitored and

177
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,920
that they're having the right
thoughts.

178
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,400
And, and if they're not having
the right thoughts and they need

179
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,480
to be taking their medicine.
And I'm worried about that kind

180
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120
of a slippery slope.
I know there are several major

181
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,600
broadcast groups that are
celebrating Mental Illness

182
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,000
Awareness Week.
Well, to me it's not mental

183
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,120
illness, it's mental sickness.
There you go.

184
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,800
So anyway.
And we caused it.

185
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,640
That's the that's the sad part
about it.

186
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,480
It's not like it's a virus that
oh, you got that way because

187
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,520
there's nothing you did about
it.

188
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,560
We caused the problem with this
crap work TT in our educational

189
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,160
system.
