Speaker 1 Breaking news, the Megan Kelly Show has exclusively obtained from the FBI the full set of journals written by the Nashville Covenant school shooter. These have never been published or released before.

Speaker 1 Moreover, they appear to have been mischaracterized by Nashville authorities last week.

Speaker 1 We here at the Megan Kelly Show do not name school shooters, but so as not to confuse listeners, we mentioned here that the shooter's birth name was Audrey. She was female.

Speaker 1 This same set of journals also sent to the House Intel Committee, whose chairman received a letter from the FBI, reading, quote, Director Patel is leading the FBI toward increased transparency with Congress in order to restore trust, and we hope these documents assist in that regard.

Speaker 1 The documents, more than a thousand pages, contain minimal redactions. The FBI says only where necessary to protect identifiable details of other individuals and/or sensitive information.

Speaker 1 Over the weekend, the Megan Kelly team reviewed these documents. We have permission to report on, but not post them.
The information contained within the pages is dark, deranged, and newsworthy.

Speaker 1 It provides clear insight into the depraved mind of the killer.

Speaker 1 Critical context excluded from the 48-page report released last week by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department and withheld now from the public for two years.

Speaker 1 Within the Nashville report, acknowledgement of an autism diagnosis, mentions of writings retrieved from journals, and the killer's feelings.

Speaker 1 The Nashville report briefly references the killer's desire to transition genders, but notes she had not yet done so.

Speaker 1 It says she began using the name Aiden and he him pronouns in the years prior to her death. And that is all it says about her gender obsession.

Speaker 1 No detailed psychological analysis, no exploration of the killer's gender struggles, feelings of racial animus, or of how those factors contributed to the slaughter.

Speaker 1 The families of the victims do not wish for this information to be public, nor do we typically spend much time quoting killer manifestos.

Speaker 1 However, the public's interest in understanding the full motivation behind this act compels its publication.

Speaker 1 What follows is a carefully selected portion of the killer's writings, shared solely to provide the necessary context, omitted by Nashville police and hidden from the public for two years.

Speaker 1 On March 27th, 2023, the killer entered the Covenant Presbyterian church and school just after 10 a.m., killing three third-grade children, aged nine, and three adults before police fatally shot her.

Speaker 1 Nashville police initially acknowledged recovering journals from the killer's vehicle at the school, though declined to release the contents, citing the ongoing investigation.

Speaker 1 In their final report, Nashville police write, quote, early in the investigation, it was suggested Audrey left behind a manifesto detailing her motives and intentions.

Speaker 1 By definition, a manifesto is a mission statement or other document written and disseminated by an individual or group to enumerate or expound upon the guiding principles and beliefs that inform their actions.

Speaker 1 The Nashville Report goes on to conclude a true manifesto is a single document outlining all of the factors motivating the event.

Speaker 1 Because the killer did not leave behind a single document, but rather a trove of documents, the Nashville Report picks and chooses from the killer's writings, purporting to summarize them, omitting critical details, and sugarcoating the killer's struggle with her gender identity as if it were irrelevant.

Speaker 1 In fact, the killer is highly focused on gender identity. In November 2023, radio host Steven Crowder published three pages of the document We Reviewed received from an anonymous source.

Speaker 1 Those pages revealing a timeline for the planned attack and messages expressing resentment against white people people and their privilege. The killer herself was white.

Speaker 1 The notebooks dating from 2020 until just days before the attack in 2023.

Speaker 1 One of the final pages reading, quote, I have to kill so I can be remembered in the most horrific way possible, that no one will ever forget the end, end quote, signed Aiden, the killer's preferred male name.

Speaker 1 The pages detail a deeply disturbed individual planning meticulously over years to carry out a mass shooting and then kill herself.

Speaker 1 The killer discusses her autism diagnosis, race, and her desire for, quote, black love and acceptance, as well as her hatred of her own whiteness.

Speaker 1 Many of the writings are sexual in nature, expressing frustration with her virginity. The killer scribbling lots of information about guns and her training with firearms.

Speaker 1 Other school shootings, well documented within the pages, in particular, references to the gods who committed the Columbine school shooting.

Speaker 1 The words dark abyss consistently pop up, whether a direct reference or scribbled into the margins, accompanied by an image resembling a radioactive symbol, the logo created by the killer to represent her all-consuming depression and commitment to gaining notoriety via a mass shooting.

Speaker 1 The journals contain many pages expressing the killer's belief that she was a man and was born in the wrong body.

Speaker 1 In one entry dated April 12th, 2022, titled Let Kids Choose Their Sex, the killer writes, quote, I only wore some nice girl clothes as a cover-up from the truth, which I denied myself all these years, and I hated all of it.

Speaker 1 It was miserable being raised a girl because I had no choice. There was lack of education research and medicine to help society or parents better understand transgender.
I didn't know trans existed.

Speaker 1 I thought you could only be gay or bi, and that's the fate you had. But transgender is transcending way deeper to the core.

Speaker 1 There is still medicine to be approved by the FDA, and so little research has been done.

Speaker 1 If I had puberty blockers back then, I would have transitioned a long time ago, but I didn't know you could possibly change your sex. I'm mad that no one told me until I was twenty two.

Speaker 1 I feel I'm too old and too late to become a man. Now the process takes months to years.

Speaker 1 By the time that happens I'm thirty, and then ten years later I got a bald spot on my head and look like an old man. Hell no.
It's best to start it at sixteen for shots.

Speaker 1 But my youth is over, way past now, and it's over, over. How dare God hand me a training bra when I didn't know WTF it was as a kid.
I hated it. Much more, I'd like to dispose my vagina.

Speaker 1 We should all choose our gender. The next page is titled Trans Man.
The killer writes, quote, I knew I was a boy the moment first memories and development formed. Being a tomboy wasn't a phase.

Speaker 1 Parents force children into which the way they were biologically born.

Speaker 1 I don't care what authority says, but no adult is fair when they don't let their children want to choose being a boy or girl because they think children don't know anything.

Speaker 1 The title of the following page is quote, F Me, where the killer writes, quote, how does it feel to grow up the gender you were born with and are comfortable and happy with it?

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know that feeling. I never did, you senseless people that you don't know.
WTF comes out of your mouth telling me I am female.

Speaker 1 Female pronouns make me feel like I want to die, especially called woman. I never was ever.
I hate being in a woman's body. Need to die.

Speaker 1 The next page is called called Killer List, and it is a list of the killers from Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, DC Snipers, Jeffrey Dahmer, Tim McVeigh, Jim Jones, and others.

Speaker 1 Around the names, hand-drawn images of guns and bloody knives. Later on in the journal, three pages that appear to have been printed and affixed into the journal titled, I hate the American People.

Speaker 1 In it, the killer writes, quote, white people who want to take away instead of adding more. What do you call that? America is not the land of the free.
It's a land full of idiots.

Speaker 1 It will only get worse in this country. Not near enough gods like me.
America and its people, all destined to soon be destroyed. The entry signed, quote, I hate you all, Aiden.

Speaker 1 After she killed six people, the shooter herself was killed by police.

Speaker 1 We will have more of the disturbing writings of the Nashville killer on the Megan Kelly show later today and will fully contextualize them all.

Speaker 1 Coming up, a weekend of nationwide protesting against Elon Musk and the Trump administration, a grassroots movement, or a highly coordinated left-wing activist campaign.

Speaker 1 National Security Advisor Mike Walsh somewhat vindicated for accidentally adding a reporter to a group chat involving attack plans against the Houthi rebel group. All that and more in just a moment.

Speaker 1 Over the weekend, dozens of rallies popping up across the country protesting Elon Musk and the Trump administration. The media openly cheerleading it.

Speaker 4 The MAGA Backlash is officially here.

Speaker 4 Labor organizations, civil rights groups, veterans, LGBTQ groups, election activists, and others organized around the idea of telling Trump and Elon Musk hands off. Do you feel it yet?

Speaker 2 Like a tremor before the earthquake, today in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, thousands poured onto the streets to demonstrate against President Trump's most harmful policies.

Speaker 5 His opponents are taken to the street this weekend, holding hands-off demonstrations to speak out against government staffing cuts, mass deportations, and the administration's ongoing dismantling of civil rights protections for all Americans.

Speaker 1 Rallygoers across the nation all appearing to conform to similar talking points.

Speaker 1 Dallas showing up, y'all. Hands off, motherfuckers.

Speaker 3 Hands off. Hands off.

Speaker 3 Hands off.

Speaker 6 Our personal catapult. I've been fighting Donald Trump, a Trump visit ever since he came down that escalator 10 years ago.

Speaker 6 I'm now here in Bryant Park with tens of thousands of other New Yorkers telling Donald Trump, hands off our democracy.

Speaker 1 The event officially billed as Hands Off, a highly coordinated campaign organized by more than 150 left-wing activist groups.

Speaker 1 The ACLU, the Women's March, Move On, Democratic Socialists of America, Planned Parenthood, all working together, quote, in opposition to Trump and Musk's attempts to steal our public services and our democracy.

Speaker 1 Progressive activist group Indivisible playing a significant role in organizing the events.

Speaker 1 If that name sounds familiar, the organization is also responsible for coordinating the protests at GOP town halls in recent weeks.

Speaker 7 Trump and his people are moving very rapidly toward a dictatorship and an organization.

Speaker 7 Like him or not, Elon Musk has brought a lot of really smart people.

Speaker 7 To vote recently for the House budget resolution,

Speaker 1 those raucous town halls also picked up by fawning media and portrayed as organic events. You see how it works? Next will be the opinion polls showing how Elon's and Doge's popularity are falling.

Speaker 1 In reality, many of these events, whether town halls or hands-off events across the country, are coordinated with help from Indivisible.

Speaker 1 the leftist organizing group founded by activists Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg in the wake of Donald Trump's 2016 election.

Speaker 1 The group growing into a powerful network with chapters across all 50 states accepting more than $7.6 million in total from George Soros's Open Society Foundations.

Speaker 1 They've got cash and are ready to spend it.

Speaker 1 New reporting about how National Security Advisor Mike Walt accidentally added a reporter to a private group chat on Signal.

Speaker 1 Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic generating a media frenzy with an article titled, The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans. Mr.

Speaker 1 Goldberg reporting he was accidentally included in a chat with high-level intel officials discussing the merits of assaulting the rebel group in Yemen.

Speaker 1 Despite many calls for resignations and firings, President Trump, standing behind his national security team, determined not to give the media the satisfaction of a scalp.

Speaker 1 Reports Reports that President Trump was more irritated that a member of his team appeared to have Trump antagonist Jeffrey Goldberg as one of his contacts than he was at the mistake of adding him to the signal group chat.

Speaker 1 National Security Advisor Waltz maintaining that Goldberg was not one of his contacts.

Speaker 8 So you've never met Goldberg. He's out there saying you guys have met in the past, but you never met him.

Speaker 9 No idea. Wouldn't know him if I bumped into him, if I saw him in a police lineup.
Do now. Knew him by reputation about

Speaker 9 lying about the president over and over again

Speaker 9 what i can tell you for certain uh

Speaker 9 certainly wasn't reaching out or talking to him uh at all uh why would i well look a staffer wasn't responsible and look i take full responsibility i built the i built the group to make my job is to make sure everything's coordinated but how did that execute i mean i don't mean to be pedantic here but how did the number have you ever had a have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name and then you have an and then you have somebody else's number

Speaker 9 right you've got somebody else's number on someone else's contact. So of course I didn't see this loser in the group.
It looked like someone else.

Speaker 9 Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean is something we're trying to figure out.

Speaker 1 On Sunday, The Guardian exclusively reporting the details of how the mishap allegedly took place, citing three sources within the White House, and it sounds similar to what Mr. Walsh said.

Speaker 1 The Guardian reporting, NSA Walsh, quote, mistakenly saved Mr. Goldberg's number months before under the contact of someone else he intended to add.

Speaker 1 Jeffrey Goldberg had emailed a member of the Trump administration about a story he was working on.

Speaker 1 Trump spokesperson Brian Hughes forwarded the content of that email, including Jeffrey Goldberg's signature block containing Mr. Goldberg's phone number to NSA Walls.

Speaker 1 The Guardian reporting, quote, according to the White House, the number was erroneously saved during a contact suggestion update by Waltz's iPhone, which one person described as the function where an iPhone algorithm adds a previously unknown number to an existing contact that it detects may be related.

Speaker 1 The White House did not officially comment on the story. Mr.
Goldberg saying, quote, I'm not going to comment on my relationship with Mike Walsh beyond saying I do know him and have spoken to him.

Speaker 1 Tonight, the Florida Gators take on the Houston Cougars in the NCAA March Madness Final.

Speaker 1 On Saturday, the Gators beating the Auburn Tigers 79-73 in their final form matchup, the Cougars overcoming a 14-point trail in the final eight minutes of the game, beating the Duke Blue Devils.

Speaker 1 I don't want to talk about it. Cooper, Tyrese,
