Israel tries to be a safe haifb a secure place for the Jewish Community to come, whether they want to move here or visit here, but this is supposed to be a safe place for jews. It is at times like this, at times when you have an attack like this against a Jewish Community with such a strong antisemitic nature, that the need for a safe haven for jews is felt.

The description from the responding officer with a green jacket and then later, there was a 11 call from inside the structure that said a blue shirt and blue jeans. Suspects name is robert bowers. Rob bowers. 7171. Suspects name is rob bowers, 46 years olds. 7472. Date of birth. 7123. Weve already communicated to the team. Magazines working the problem. Suspect was injured. Continuing to crawl at this time. 71 suspects talking about all these jews need to die. Were still communicating with him. Take the advice. Khakis, red shirt at this time. We dont know if he changed clothes. The suspect keeps telling them about killing jews. He doesnt want any of them to live. Yeah, right. I already relayed that on the other side. Copy that. Among that is the type of weapon used and confirmation that he said all these jews need to die. Yeah. I was listening to that live as it was i was at home, actually, and i was listening to it, and it was really it struck me just how well organized the Police Officers were. We hear that we train this, but its so rare that we actually get a window insight to them doing this kind of an operation. Theyre saying this is what he is saying. The suspect, as he is even verpding, he is wuned. The police have wuned him. Theyre trying to get him to virnd. Theyre saying have him crawl, have him crawl, and he is talking about how jews need to die. Efrl is of the officers themselves also wounded, he now understand. Right. Jonathan, what stands out to you when you listen p to both these two pieces of audio . Listen, the Law Enforcement officers Patrol Officers that went in first, they provided very clear tactical language that they utilized throughout their time inside. They provided Situational Awareness for responding officers to come in. Listen, this is a very dynamic situation for these guys. They know that theres someone in there thats tyly killing. That Patrol Officer is walking around. He sees dead bodies in front of him. Theres a physicianlogical and psychological effect that Law Enforcement now has to train for to suppress that to because they have to go after the killer. That is their number one priority. Updating you now on our breaking news. 11 people died in a mass shooting in pittsburgh earlier today. The suspect has been named. He is 46yearold robert bowers, and we have now discovered a long and heavy digital footprint full of antisemitic posts and comments. A Law Enforcement source also telling cnn that bowers made even the seniors that were injured, theyre making sure that they survive that incident antijewish comments during the shooting. So others can live and they can i want to bring in rabbi joshua stay in the fight and address stanton from the east end temple the threat. That falls execution just here in new york. Rabbi, when we have an incident reflektzing this new reality here in america. Absolutely. Like this, a horrific murder, josh, to you. Youve been doing a lot of reporting on the types of series of murders, how does that weapons that he has had. Reverb rate in jewish communities across the country . Its the sum of all fears. Theres a sense of heart break. Theres a sense of oneness. Theres the idea that in some way we are all grieving together, and before people were even buried, the reverberations with social media picture that he posted talking about his of rhetoric stung our ears and glock family. What do we know about his hurt our hearts, so its been a very difficult day on so many weapons and the legality and what last nights he had . Levels because we havent even were building a narrative, a had the chance to absorb the picture of this person. We do know in talking to some of our Law Enforcement contacts news, and already were swept up that he did have an active permit to carry in the state of in a political i was reporting in paris pennsylvania. He had legally purchased weapons after the attacks, and youll going back to 1996. Remember les talked about the attack on a kosher supermarket, the thing is we still dont know and i was talking to a lot of if the weapons that were used in parisian jews, and he were this talking about their fears, and this incident were weapons that thats been happening for a long time in europe where a lot of were legally purchased. We have two separate things. We know he has purchased them jews have been feeling a lot legally. We dont know that these are the more afraid, and many are ones that he actually purchased legally, and the other thing is emigrating to israel. In talking to Law Enforcement contacts, we havent heard the fact that there was a i read a quote today from the ceo of a Jewish Federation of highpowered rifle, like an ar15 that was in his past as a greater pittsburgh, and he said you know everyone thinks about purchase. Whether that was more recently obtained, whether that was israel. Is that a sentiment where obtained legally, again, something we dont know a lot of American Jews are feeling increasingly in danger and what to think about the possibility questions. Of moving them and their families to israel. I think almost immediately after the attacks i spokes with the copresident s of our synagogue just by way of an ongoing text conversation to figure out what we should do, how we should support our community, how we could help them and support them in the grieving process. As a president do you think he needs to revisit gun laws . Gun laws . Well, again, this has little to do with it if you take a look. If they had protection inside, we want to be safe in the united states, and the fact that we the results would have been far dont at moments like this is just terrible. Better. Why do you feel that the this is a dispute that will always exist, i suspect, but if danger is increasing, and that they had some kind of a the rhetoric is getting worse . Protection inside the temple so i fear the growth of homegrown terrorists and people who have been radicalized maybe it could have been a much different situation. Primarily white supremacists, they didnt. And we have heard at the highest levels of government rhetoric that makes my skin crawl. He was able to do things he the antisemitic dog whistles, shouldnt have been able to do where. Thats the president before conversations about globalists, taking off to indianapolis. The idea that after mike, the president there seeming to put the onus on the charlottesville there were good people on both sides. All of the rhetoric about george victims. That if this synagogue had the soros and the antisemitic wherewithal to get an Armed Security guard, that this could conspiracy theories are a horror have been prevented, and and they somehow seem to be seemingly, allowing no room for connected whether enabling or discussion over guns. Supporting or energizing peoples worst instincts and energizing a part of the population that had been for so long marginalized. I will tell you putting a gun in my fear is that hate is going an untrained persons hand could mainstream, and my fear is that be as dangerous as having no gun at all. Even at the same time as we if you are going to deploy an grieve, we have to understand armed asset to counter this threat, they need to be more clearly the broader causes of this upswing in rhetoric and welltrained professionals. This upswing in hate. Earlier today kevin mccarthy, cant just check the box that the House Majority leader sw someone was on. Sometimes they can cause more deleted a tweet where he had harm than good. Said that we cant allow george so sore yoes, mielk bloomberg to buy this election. The synagogue would have taken now, he took that down in the wake of this shooting. Steps and had discussed their to your point, he was he must security with Law Enforcement. Yeah, and, of course, 9 11 have been keenly aware of how antisemitic that sounded, and environment, it is this that this is going mainstream. Federal grant out there that im aware of called house of worship grant that the synagogues, the role of our leaders, the temples, mosques take advantage of every year. Role of our elected officials is usually thats to get some type to stand with all americans and of Grant Funding and increase to support all americans. Physical security, some type of security presence. Theyre actively engaged in the the words that i heard from our president today were deeply post9 11 realm all the time disappointing. He had one job, to provide with their federal partners and the local Law Enforcement partners and they do some kind comfort for those that were of physical assessment in these mourning, and instead his words locations. Sounded to me like an one additional point on the advertisement for Gun Companies weapo weapons. The political side of it, the political gun debate. We know whether its the secret service academy, fbi academy, Law Enforcement officers will to comfort families, to comfort fire thousands and thousands of rounds, and the reason that it widows, to comfort orphans, and takes place is because its our tradition that is seen as actually described. One of the highest acts of look, we are trying to get you to a certain level of proficiency in a nonstress kindness is to be with those who are heartbroken and grieving, and instead we just heard more environment to hone your skills. Empty rhetoric from a person who Law Enforcement officers know that when you are in the
