Florida School Shooting Hogg Wild

Video Transcript:

You too, Pat. YouTube had to take down a video today. Social media is erupting with tens of thousands of claims that David and other outspoken students are so-called crisis actors, higher to pose as victims. YouTube had to take down a video today that unfortunately for a brief period of time was the number one trending video on YouTube and that number one trending video spread helped spread this false narrative that the students who are protesting for better gun regulation are not in fact students from Parkland, Florida, but that they are child actors who are just trying to stir the pot and who are paid by people like George Soros. He said I didn't know as a crime to put your board on the trash can like because he just didn't want it to get sandy. So they're like uh-huh he's not actually from Florida, he's from California and then we we're going to make up a quote about how he wanted always wanted to be an actor and whenever there's a crisis lifeguard shooting crisis he became a crisis actor and unfortunately there's a lot of gullible people. David posted the video on YouTube and in just a couple of days has gone viral. We felt threatened, we felt uh we're just worried and it's he seemed unpredictable. Ah, okay we have connected to that. Now you haven't it turns out he was on vacation in in California and that happened it has nothing to do with anything. I witnessed this event. Why are you guys doing this to me? I'm not. So right now we're in a school, an active shooter. It's not a drill. It's a drill. Hello. It's 250. I heard one gunshot. I heard one gunshot. We thought it was a drill initially, but it's not. At around 230 we heard a gunshot on my AP Environmental Science class and we initially thought it was a drill and then we heard multiple we heard more gunshots and that was when we realized this was not a drill. This was life or death. Okay so it's now 313 and we've heard supposedly it's a senior not confirmed at all. The seniors believed to be in a cruise but this has not been confirmed. This is the latest information that we have though. We still believe that the person has been neutralized but we're still currently unlocked out. We're on lockdown because we're as an active shooting. We thought it was a fire drill went outside and then people started running because there were shots I didn't hear them personally and then I started running. So what's your message? I really don't think there's anything you need to say but there shouldn't have to be because if you looked around this closet and saw everyone just hiding together you would know that this shouldn't be happening anymore and that it doesn't deserve to happen to anyone and that no amount of money should make it more easily accessible to get guns. And that's that. I was more well articulated in my head. Do you want to say anything else? No. Come on. The fact that this has happened so much that school shootings have happened so much to the point that we need drills for them almost as often as fire drills is unacceptable. I call on the legislators of this country to take action and stop. Stop is from happening. Thousands people have died from gun violence and it's time to take a stand. Forget the aneroid, forget all of your political backing. Take a stance for human lives, for children lives. All right so we made it out. All right guys, I'm down, everything's fine. FBI. I'm the son of a former FBI agent and that is true. FBI. I'm not a crisis actor. Guys I'm not an actor. I'm trying to be an activist. David has become an icon of the children's crusade appearing on many TV shows. But today he is the target of a nasty conspiracy theory. Now only on two it's a confrontation that's making waves. A redondo beach lifeguard and a teenage boogie border get in a heated argument and it's all caught on video. David Hogg says his 17 year old friend put his boogie board on this beach trash can. And when a lifeguard asked him to move it, he did but then the situation took a turn. He said I didn't know as a crime to put your board on the trash can. Because he just didn't want it to get sandy. Social media is erupting with tens of thousands of claims that David and other outspoken students are so called crisis actors, hired to pose as victims. Basically this video was a clip of David Hogg. Speaking to a local music affiliate years ago about an incident he saw on the beach. So YouTube's algorithms look at that and say okay this is a legitimate news source. Then they look at the caption to the video. The caption said David Hogg, the actor. Well there's nothing inherently harassing about those words. For some people that's just a fact, for some people it's a compliment. And YouTube's algorithms don't have all the context to know that in fact David Hogg is the survivor of a school shooting. David the first of all the Donald Trump junior is liking tweets espousing a conspiracy theory evolving you and your dad. I'm wondering what goes through your mind when you hear that. I'm just so sorry that these people have lost their faith in America because I know I certainly haven't. The fact that these people refuse to believe that something like this could happen is something that all of us don't want to believe but the sad truth is that it is. These people saying this is absolutely disturbing and I'm not an actor in any sense, way, shape or form. Um, in the moment I wasn't because there was obviously definitely another shooter involved. But. Oh you think he was not the only one? No, definitely not. It's just, it's unbelievable to me that these people are even saying this and the fact that Donald Trump junior liked that post is disgusting to me but it's also false in terms of the sense that. I actually was speaking to the suspect Nicholas Cruz. I actually was speaking to the suspect Nicholas Cruz. Authorities say 19 year old Nicholas Cruz was heavily armed with a bullet-proof vest, loads of ammunition and a powerful AR-15 bought legally a year ago and hidden in a rifle case. A child of God is dead. If you're not re-enloging this country, that we cannot accept this. I can't do a walk of swat. We can't do it. Sorry. Gary thank you. I'm sorry. It's just. Congressman Ted Doge tell me out of Florida here who represents the district. Just hearing that mother. I'm sorry. I just, it got me. He was the partner tool. He was 37 and 20 or so gone brown. Was a captain. He was a captain in the US Army Reserve in a graduate of Florida A&M. He was 29. Alejandro Barrios Martinez was 21. Joel Rayon. Alejandro was 32. Jean Nibez Rodriguez was 27. We don't have pictures of these people. Gilmurie Rodriguez Sullivan was 24 and Paul Tarell Henry was 41 years old. President Trump you say what can you do? You can stop the guns for giving it to these children's hands. Put metal detectors and every answer to the schools. What can you do? You can do a lot. This is not fair our families. Our children are going to school and I think they killed. I just spent the last two hours putting the burial raisins my daughter funeral. Who's 14? President Trump please do something. Do something action we needed out these kids these kids out. Their inspeculation the Russians may be fueling the conspiracy theory to spread the scores in America. The intelligence community has been very clear. The Russia continues to try to exploit divisions in the US and try to turn us against one another. I was a witness to this. I'm not a crisis actor. I'm somebody that had to witness this and live through this and I continue to have to do that. I'm not a crisis actor. The Russian offensive. All right. Really? Yeah, you did your job. He's not even supposed to be on a school. He's like 25 and he's from California. Even though he's my debate partner with the hell. So. David, I think I overheard you saying earlier. There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil. All the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.
