Two children are dead after the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis. The media calls the guns “legally purchased.” They weren’t. Federal law already disqualified the shooter twice over — through mental illness and marijuana use — but Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota’s “strong gun laws” did nothing to stop him.

In this episode of The Tenth Man Podcast, we expose the deception of Everytown’s fake “school shooting” database, the truth about trans shooters, and the negligence that let a prohibited buyer purchase guns. From Form 4473 to marijuana legalization, we show why gun control laws fail — and why real accountability points higher than the trigger puller.

Debunking Media Bias: How Trump's National Guard Deployment Was Misrepresented

In this episode, we dissect how the media portrayed President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to curb crime in Washington D.C. Contrary to reports painting it as militarization and scare tactics, the presence of the Guard significantly reduced violent crime. They did it in Washington DC and they can do it in Chicago and Baltimore, despite the claims of Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.

The episode also highlights hypocrisy around the National Guard's use, pointing out that Democrats only object when Republicans are in power, yet demanded their deployment on January 6.

Guardsmen have historically protected citizens' rights in various critical situations like the Little Rock Nine. The Democrats were on the wrong side than as they are now. They concentrate on accusations of "abuse of power", "occupation", "militarization" and depict the assistance of the guard as a "threat"

Learn the facts behind the headlines and understand the real implications of deploying the National Guard for domestic safety.

Media Narratives and the Silence on Mass Stabbings

This episode of 'The 10th Man' delves into the media's selective language in reporting violent crimes, particularly focusing on the Moscow, Idaho stabbing case where four college students were brutally murdered by Brian Kohberger. The script highlights a bias in the media's reluctance to use terms like 'stabbed' or 'slashed' while covering knife attacks, contrasting it with their detailed emphasis on firearms in gun violence incidents. The episode questions the motives behind these editorial choices, suggesting they are part of a broader agenda to influence public perception on gun control and manipulating the results from search engines like Google and other tools like AI. The Delphi murders provide other example of this misdirection. Additionally, the segment criticizes how media outlets profit from tragedies by later repackaging incomplete stories as entertainment through books and documentaries, citing the example of James Patterson and his book The Idaho Four.

The Attempt on Trump: Overshadowed by Media's Mass Shooting Agenda

This episode from the 10th Man Podcast discusses the media's handling of mass shootings, highlighting the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th, 2024, which was categorized as a 'mass shooting' by media standards. The chapter criticizes how media and gun control advocates misleadingly classify incidents to inflate mass shooting statistics and push an anti-gun agenda. The theme contrasts various shootings and attacks, such as those in Graz, Austria, and Damascus, with the Trump attempt and gang violence by Damien McDaniel. It argues that the media selectively reports events to support a narrative against gun rights, ignoring incidents where armed citizens successfully defend themselves. The podcast aims to reveal these biases and advocate for the truth regarding gun violence and rights.
