Fresh & Fit - Former Fed Reacts To Trump Assassination Attempt

00:00:00.000 ...sniper team, someone from that team, whether that's the person who took out the shooter.

00:00:05.000 That's right when he saw it.

00:00:06.000 We saw the video of this, by the way, guys.

00:00:07.000 That's him.

00:00:08.000 That's the shooter right there that killed the guy.

00:00:10.000 Shout out to this guy, Don DeMarco.

00:00:13.000 Around that perimeter.

00:00:15.000 Again, this former agent saying this is just something they always do.

00:00:19.000 They scan as much as possible.

00:00:22.000 And, you know, heard those shots fired, heard multiple shots fired, and people hitting the ground.

00:00:29.000 And I'm sure that sniper went into action.

00:00:31.000 Yeah, as many as eight rounds from that AR-style rifle.

00:00:34.000 Martha, thank you so much for your reporting on this.

00:00:37.000 Let's bring in Don Mihalik from former Secret Service, who's a contributor now, has been speaking with us.

00:00:45.000 Donald, I just want to get your sense of this information that we're getting now about the shooter on a rooftop taken out by a counter-sniper.

00:00:53.000 What's your take on this and how these events may have unfolded?

00:00:58.000 Well, it sounds like the Secret Service counter snipers did their job, as Martha was talking about.

00:01:03.000 Whenever there's an event anywhere, the counter snipers go and they do their form of an advance.

00:01:08.000 That form of an advance is looking at the entire area in and around the event space and setting up almost a grid pattern so they could identify locations and locations of interest.

00:01:19.000 Looking and scanning all of those potential threat areas are part of what the countersniper is doing.

00:01:24.000 They work with ground teams generally made up of...

00:01:27.000 All right, we're back up on Rumble, guys.

00:01:28.000 ...enforcement called countersniper response teams that they can call upon to respond to a potential situation to figure out what's going on.

00:01:37.000 In this situation, it sounds like some of that was working.

00:01:40.000 But, you know, what we're going to have now is the FBI is going to do the criminal investigation piece of this to look at...

00:01:47.000 The shooter, his motivations, what happened.

00:01:50.000 But you're also going to have the Secret Service now doing a mission insurance investigation to look at the protective venue, what protective methodologies were in place, what worked, what gaps they may have had, and what they could close down in the future.

00:02:04.000 Yeah, so much ground to cover and still so many.

00:02:07.000 And do me a favor, guys.

00:02:08.000 If you are going to switch on over to Rumble and watch it, keep your YouTube tab open and like the video, guys.

00:02:11.000 Helps a lot with the algorithm.

00:02:12.000 Helps a lot with the engagement.

00:02:13.000 We really appreciate that.

00:02:14.000 I don't normally film on Saturdays, but I'm doing this for you guys because I think it's very important.

00:02:18.000 And, yeah, I mean, I'm one of the few guys that's actually served on a Secret Service detail that could talk about this that's on YouTube right now or Rumble or whatever it may be.

00:02:25.000 So if you're going to watch on Rumble, guys, support on Rumble.

00:02:28.000 Open up another tab.

00:02:29.000 Watch on Rumble as well.

00:02:30.000 And like the video on YouTube.

00:02:31.000 Keep your YouTube and your Rumble tab open.

00:02:33.000 It really helps out with the algo.

00:02:34.000 Appreciate that, guys.

00:02:35.000 Let's keep breaking this thing down.

00:02:36.000 I predict that we might get a name tonight.

00:02:38.000 Let's see what happens.

00:02:39.000 Former President Trump is rightfully getting much of the attention.

00:02:43.000 But there was a bystander that was killed according to the Secret Service.

00:02:47.000 And now we know from the hospital.

00:02:49.000 Let's go back into Twitter space, guys, and see what they're talking about over there.

00:02:53.000 Critically hurt after this male gunman, who has still not been identified, fired from two to three hundred yards away from an elevated position on a rooftop adjacent to the...

00:03:04.000 ...outdoor rallies.

00:03:06.000 You know, there's so much ground to cover out there.

00:03:08.000 It's always a risk.

00:03:09.000 And, you know, I'm just thankful for law enforcement.

00:03:12.000 The Secret Service guys are incredible.

00:03:14.000 You know, you guys don't realize these guys are...

00:03:17.000 Look at how they surrounded him...

00:03:20.000 And basically, all the agents covered him on the ground.

00:03:24.000 If there was more shots, one of those agents could have easily got killed.

00:03:27.000 Like, they put their life on the line for that man.

00:03:30.000 And rest in peace to the people in the stands who got shot.

00:03:34.000 You know, it's a sad day.

00:03:36.000 So I don't think we should jump to conclusions just yet.

00:03:40.000 You'd be surprised.

00:03:42.000 You know, the way my mind works, I'm like a Navy SEAL at heart.

00:03:45.000 Whenever I go in a building, I'm looking at the exit.

00:03:47.000 Whenever I'm at a rally, I'm looking all around.

00:03:50.000 You know, a lot of times being backstage, you can't help but think, hey, we're all...

00:03:55.000 Is audio coming in good for you guys?

00:03:57.000 Give me one zip. 0.96

00:03:57.000 Audio's coming in good for y'all ninjas. 0.96

00:03:59.000 You guys can hear what's going on here.

00:04:00.000 If you're going to do 2,000 rallies and 30,000 people at every rally, you know, there's a reason guys like Tucker, guys like Cernovich had been talking about this, you know?

00:04:11.000 All right, awesome, awesome.

00:04:12.000 Thank you, guys.

00:04:13.000 And you better believe now security is going to be Just came in now, very limited information, but Biden and Trump have spoken by phone.

00:04:24.000 We don't know what they've spoken about.

00:04:26.000 They spoke on the phone.

00:04:27.000 That's what we know.

00:04:27.000 Biden and Trump have spoken by phone.

00:04:30.000 What we really need is to come together.

00:04:34.000 People need to come together and hopefully this can have people more realize, like, we're in this together.

00:04:39.000 And hey, I'll finish on this note. 0.99

00:04:41.000 Good thing it was an Antifa member, supposedly, because those guys suck. 0.99

00:04:45.000 They can't get anything right. 1.00

00:04:46.000 Antifa?

00:04:47.000 Okay.

00:04:47.000 That's been debunked.

00:04:48.000 Let's see.

00:04:49.000 Oh, it's been debunked.

00:04:49.000 Okay.

00:04:50.000 Do we know who it was yet?

00:04:52.000 Yeah, it was a white male with a beard, long hair, but nothing else.

00:04:56.000 That's pretty much what we know.

00:04:58.000 Okay.

00:04:59.000 Thanks, Mario.

00:05:00.000 Go ahead, Lucky.

00:05:01.000 Yeah.

00:05:01.000 I mean, so when Trump goes to Trump Tower, the Secret Service will clear out all the stores.

00:05:06.000 Like Tiffany's is right there.

00:05:08.000 They'll clear it out, make sure everything's secure, you know, so he's fully protected.

00:05:12.000 So it's just, you know, shocking to me.

00:05:13.000 And I agree.

00:05:14.000 You know, the Secret Service, most of the Secret Service is excellent.

00:05:17.000 You know, they're very good at their jobs.

00:05:18.000 You know, they're traveling all over.

00:05:20.000 The fact that this was missed and this guy was able to get that close on a building they knew about, they had to know about this building because they mapped it out, you know, two plus weeks ago.

00:05:28.000 And was able to get that vantage point.

00:05:29.000 It's just shocking.

00:05:30.000 Like I said, it's shocking to me, and I think it's shocking to everyone that this was able to happen.

00:05:36.000 Yeah, so I'm just going to get your thoughts, guys, from a political standpoint, Chief, unless you have some updates here.

00:05:42.000 What does that mean for Biden?

00:05:45.000 Well, Biden now knows he lost.

00:05:48.000 I mean, he might as well step down and let someone take the beating because this race is over.

00:05:54.000 This is over.

00:05:56.000 Donald Trump is the 47th president of the United States.

00:06:00.000 And I got to tell you, I want people to listen to me.

00:06:04.000 When Trump gets in the Oval Office again, People who did this, people who did the witch hunt when he was president, it's all coming back on you guys.

00:06:14.000 Remember that.

00:06:16.000 Let me go to Mr.

00:06:18.000 Bano.

00:06:19.000 We got 8,900 of you guys on YouTube and then another 3K plus on Rumble.

00:06:23.000 Shout out to all you guys.

00:06:24.000 Almost four.

00:06:25.000 Mr.

00:06:25.000 Bano, how are you?

00:06:28.000 Good, good.

00:06:28.000 Tell us about your background.

00:06:29.000 You've sent us some details earlier.

00:06:31.000 Give us your background and your thoughts on what we've seen so far.

00:06:33.000 I was in the United States Marine Corps as an infantryman.

00:06:36.000 In 2014, I became a marksmanship instructor out in 29 Palms.

00:06:41.000 It's one of the worst shooting ranges that there is.

00:06:44.000 You've got 40 mile-per-hour winds going constantly.

00:06:46.000 Trained over 10,000 Marines on the M4, M16, AR-15 platforms, as well as the 9mm Beretta.

00:06:53.000 Just wanted to speak on this weapon system real quick.

00:06:55.000 It's not a non-ideal weapon for this situation.

00:06:59.000 It's 150 feet or yards.

00:07:03.000 The M16 is rated out for a max effective point target at 550 meters.

00:07:09.000 An experienced shooter can do this in the standing on top of that building and hit its target no problem.

00:07:15.000 And then you also have the 30 round magazine that you can have with this weapon and re-engaging is very simple.

00:07:21.000 So trying to pull out a bull action or something like that where a larger caliber is not needed, this is a very good weapon to get in and out if you're trying to.

00:07:29.000 But I don't think the shooter had that intent.

00:07:31.000 And also when you're going after a huge political target like that, your nerves are probably shaken and up.

00:07:37.000 So his shot being off is probably due to that.

00:07:40.000 But this is a good weapon for that type of situation.

00:07:44.000 It's just not saying that you need a sniper or something.

00:07:48.000 It's not needed.

00:07:49.000 That's all I have to say.

00:07:52.000 And the question, I'd love you guys to ask some more questions here to Bano, just to kind of understand better.

00:07:57.000 So you're saying the weapon is not, you're not saying it's ideal, but it's not the worst weapon for, obviously, the attempted assassination of Trump, considering the distance.

00:08:06.000 How heavy is the weapon to carry?

00:08:07.000 How visible is it for the Secret Service?

00:08:09.000 Because it took him a long time to apprehend him.

00:08:11.000 That all depends, because you can break this gun down very easily and get it back together within 10 seconds.

00:08:17.000 You can collapse it in half.

00:08:20.000 But...

00:08:20.000 I mean, the gun weighs around 14 pounds.

00:08:23.000 You can sneak it in, and you only need a couple seconds to engage.

00:08:27.000 And that's if you're an experienced shooter.

00:08:29.000 I don't think this guy was very experienced at all because at 150 yards, he was shooting from the prone, and he was trying to probably lower his profile.

00:08:37.000 That's the only thing I can think of.

00:08:38.000 But you can definitely get the shot off and get out of there real quick if you needed to with that weapon system.

00:08:46.000 Okay, and then from what we've seen so far, the position, so you've seen the images of the shelter, you've seen how far it is from the former president and the line of sight.

00:08:57.000 Have you seen all that footage?

00:08:58.000 Yeah, I have.

00:08:59.000 Okay, perfect.

00:09:00.000 You've seen the footage of the Secret Service engaging with the shooter?

00:09:08.000 Okay, I'd love your thoughts on all that footage.

00:09:10.000 The Secret Service engaging with the shooter, it seems like, I don't know if he was trying to assess his target and see what he had in his hands.

00:09:18.000 I mean, that's something you should be able to tell very quickly.

00:09:21.000 I would definitely be questioning my Secret Service on what actually happened.

00:09:24.000 So you're talking based on the footage, he kind of looked through the scope and then looked away and then looked through the scope again.

00:09:30.000 That's what you're referring to, correct?

00:09:31.000 Volume up, guys.

00:09:32.000 It's just that the guy's talking low. 0.73

00:09:34.000 I don't know why his volume is so fucking low. 0.86

00:09:36.000 Because a lot of these guys aren't using mics, guys. 0.95

00:09:37.000 That's the problem.

00:09:38.000 Like, they're talking on their phone.

00:09:40.000 So, like, that's the issue.

00:09:41.000 Let me try to see if I can increase the volume for you ninjas.

00:09:44.000 And then, you know, answer questions later.

00:09:47.000 Okay, and what about the fact that the police...

00:09:50.000 So, it wasn't the Secret Service.

00:09:51.000 Two questions.

00:09:52.000 How was the shelter, the warehouse not surrounded by police?

00:09:58.000 That's number one.

00:09:59.000 Number two, how come wasn't there Secret Service on that?

00:10:02.000 I completely agree with you. 1.00

00:10:11.000 That's another level of stupidity, though. 1.00

00:10:13.000 From the images, I think we've seen he was not uniform. 1.00

00:10:16.000 He's wearing a white...

00:10:17.000 Yeah, not uniform.

00:10:18.000 He's wearing a white t-shirt.

00:10:19.000 Trying to bring it up, guys.

00:10:21.000 Hold on.

00:10:22.000 A lot of times, too, you show up to a rally, the local officers aren't always going to be on the same page as everyone else, right? 0.99

00:10:30.000 It would be stupid to throw it out there. 0.76

00:10:33.000 No, I appreciate that.

00:10:34.000 All right, go ahead, Mr.

00:10:35.000 Mago.

00:10:39.000 Mr.

00:10:39.000 Mago, I think it was.

00:10:40.000 Go ahead.

00:10:41.000 You were just explaining, giving us your thoughts on, not Mago, sorry, Bano.

00:10:45.000 Bano, go ahead.

00:10:48.000 Bano, your mic isn't working.

00:10:49.000 There you go.

00:10:50.000 Yeah, perfect.

00:10:50.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:51.000 Oh, good.

00:10:53.000 Yeah, I just want you to continue with your thoughts on all the footage that you've seen.

00:11:00.000 Yeah, someone says there's a picture of the shooter dead on this floor.

00:11:03.000 Yeah, guys, I know.

00:11:04.000 I just don't want to show it because we're on YouTube right now.

00:11:08.000 So you can't, you know, it's super graphic.

00:11:10.000 So that was a very valid question.

00:11:14.000 That building should have had Secret Service on there.

00:11:16.000 Yeah, I mean, it seems like a gross oversight all around.

00:11:18.000 But you know what?

00:11:19.000 What I'll do is I'll drop it in the chat for you.

00:11:21.000 And the likelihood, obviously we're just speculating here, but the likelihood of having some sort of inside job.

00:11:26.000 I would hate to speculate, but I would say...

00:11:30.000 Is it a fair question to ask right now?

00:11:32.000 It's absolutely fair to ask, but to run with that story is another thing entirely.

00:11:38.000 Absolutely.

00:11:39.000 I think running with any story right now.

00:11:40.000 It's the same thing as people always say. 1.00

00:11:42.000 These politicians are stupid. 1.00

00:11:44.000 Politicians are stupid. 1.00

00:11:45.000 Why are they sending money overseas? 1.00

00:11:47.000 They're stupid. 1.00

00:11:48.000 No! 1.00

00:11:48.000 They're running a money laundering operation. 1.00

00:11:51.000 You always think it's stupidity. 1.00

00:11:53.000 It's not. 1.00

00:11:54.000 It's all planned.

00:11:55.000 Actually, you know what, guys?

00:11:56.000 I'll post it on my Twitter.

00:11:57.000 I can speculate if someone got a phone call.

00:11:59.000 I'll post it on my Twitter right now.

00:12:00.000 Move that position.

00:12:01.000 Move this position.

00:12:02.000 Give the guy a...

00:12:03.000 I'm telling you, this was an inside job, and people really need to stop taking that stuff seriously because they took a shot at the future president of the United States.

00:12:11.000 They tried to attack every single one of us today, and people need to be taking this seriously.

00:12:18.000 Yeah, so RFK obviously did reference the assassination of his uncle.

00:12:25.000 And his father.

00:12:27.000 And he quoted, we can't allow our country to devolve into violence.

00:12:32.000 That was RFK for a few minutes.

00:12:33.000 I just posted on my Twitter, guys.

00:12:35.000 I will go ahead and give you the link real fast.

00:12:39.000 For any of you guys that want to see the shooter.

00:12:41.000 If, like, what you're saying is right, that there was an inside job, it was an attempted assassination, Oh, here's the shooter.

00:12:49.000 This is from the quartering just coming in.

00:12:51.000 Let me show you guys this.

00:12:53.000 Let me drop my link.

00:12:54.000 Let me show you guys this real quick.

00:12:57.000 This is the shooter, apparently.

00:13:01.000 I think the important part is understanding that Trump's on his way to win another election.

00:13:07.000 Looks like a whack job, man.

00:13:09.000 This is my Twitter is lit, guys.

00:13:15.000 The other option is going to basically follow what you believe or is going to be able to partake.

00:13:21.000 Alright, I'm going to leave this Twitter discussion.

00:13:24.000 But yeah, guys, this is what they're saying is the shooter.

00:13:29.000 Well, I posted on my thing here.

00:13:32.000 Hold on, this is YouTube.

00:13:33.000 Sorry.

00:13:34.000 Where the hell was I? Wrong tab.

00:13:37.000 Sorry, guys.

00:13:55.000 Hold on.

00:13:56.000 I got you guys.

00:13:57.000 I'm going to do you guys one better.

00:13:58.000 I'm going to actually post a real link to it.

00:14:04.000 Right?

00:14:06.000 Boom.

00:14:07.000 Copy link.

00:14:08.000 I'll put that in the chat for you guys right now.

00:14:12.000 If you guys want to see...

00:14:13.000 see because I know a lot of you guys want to see the shooter. 0.96

00:14:14.000 What the hell?

00:14:22.000 I'm in the wrong chat.

00:14:23.000 Alright, someone...

00:14:24.000 Ah, yeah, okay, I know why. 0.99

00:14:34.000 Let me...

00:14:36.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:14:39.000 Yeah, someone pin it. 0.99

00:14:40.000 Actually, I could pin it right here.

00:14:43.000 Boom.

00:14:43.000 Alright, I pinned it.

00:14:44.000 Shout out to you broski, thank you.

00:14:48.000 If you guys wanna look at who the shooter was.

00:14:50.000 And then here the quartering, right?

00:14:52.000 All right.

00:14:53.000 He posted.

00:15:07.000 Oh, I guess him and Destiny are going back and forth.

00:15:16.000 Okay.

00:15:18.000 Alright.

00:15:18.000 But yeah, here we go.

00:15:19.000 This is the guy.

00:15:22.000 There's probably gonna be a manifesto as well here.

00:15:26.000 See what the comments are.

00:15:27.000 It's probably it's probably posted already.

00:15:30.000 Yeah A demolish a shirt, huh?

00:15:38.000 Hmm.

00:15:39.000 Okay, so it looks like some type of tactical gear.

00:15:57.000 Okay.

00:16:10.000 Looks like these are some of the creators that support this stuff.

00:16:12.000 Interesting.

00:16:20.000 Thank you.

00:16:22.000 very very interesting so okay Go back to Twitter here.

00:16:38.000 Give me one sec, guys.

00:16:40.000 Go to main camera real quick while I pull up this Twitter.

00:16:47.000 Give me one sec.

00:16:49.000 Yeah.

00:17:01.000 So they're pretty sure everyone is starting to think that this is the guy.

00:17:05.000 Let me go ahead and share screen with you ninjas real fast. 0.91

00:17:08.000 Yeah, because he's wearing, this is drone footage from before.

00:17:10.000 He's wearing the same shirt as the person that was killed.

00:17:12.000 So yeah, they're thinking that this is him.

00:17:13.000 And obviously, if you guys look at my status, it's him because the long hair, right?

00:17:19.000 Oh, yeah.

00:17:25.000 Trump is still going to show up to UFC.

00:17:26.000 This is Candace Owe saying this.

00:17:28.000 Yes.

00:17:30.000 Now would be a good time to give RFK Jr.

00:17:31.000 Secret Service detail.

00:17:32.000 I don't know if they're gonna do that Okay.

00:17:41.000 Anyway, Twitter's crazy.

00:17:43.000 I gotta, like, screen stuff before I show it on screen here.

00:17:46.000 Let's see here.

00:17:47.000 Let's go back to this.

00:17:50.000 Notable that they are not saying much more about that conversation between the president and his rival, the former president.

00:17:56.000 Just the fact that they spoke, though, is really remarkable when you consider, you know, how rare it is.

00:18:02.000 I mean, before the debate last month, it had been years since the two of them had talked.

00:18:07.000 And even at the debate, they barely, I don't even think you could say, exchanged niceties.

00:18:11.000 The president is now making his way back here to the White House.

00:18:14.000 He's going to continue to be briefed by his team.

00:18:16.000 He's going to have a briefing tomorrow morning with his national security team, continuing to try and keep a close eye on all of this.

00:18:23.000 The question now, one of many, is what kind of impact this is going to have on the president's campaign.

00:18:29.000 We are already seeing efforts by some to sort of politicize this moment.

00:18:33.000 Of course, as Rick notes, we have no idea what motivated or drove this gunman to do this.

00:18:38.000 But you are already seeing many point the finger or some pointing the finger at President Biden and his rhetoric.

00:18:44.000 That is something, not surprisingly, that his campaign forcefully rejects.

00:18:48.000 But how will this change?

00:18:50.000 The tone and tenor of this campaign in the coming days, of course, as President Biden has been, you know, under tremendous fire and fighting for his political future, as we have seen so many Democrats coming out and calling for him to exit this race.

00:19:04.000 But for now, in this moment, the president is responding to this, you know, as a president first, but also as a candidate.

00:19:09.000 Of course, we are seeing his campaign pull down their political communications.

00:19:13.000 We are seeing them pull down their political ads to focus on this moment, to try and dial down the temperature And just so you guys know, we know that this is, look, look, so check this out.

00:19:26.000 You can see here he is, right?

00:19:29.000 Same shirt, and here he is, right?

00:19:32.000 So this is him when they got up to the body.

00:19:36.000 This sent from beforehand. 0.99

00:19:37.000 So we're pretty certain now that that is the shooter, this fucking weirdo dude. 0.99

00:19:41.000 So I predict that they won't be able to keep that. 0.97

00:19:43.000 We're gonna have a name here soon, guys.

00:19:44.000 We're gonna have a name here soon.

00:19:45.000 Convention in any way is not something he wants.

00:19:48.000 If he's able, he's going to try to be there.

00:19:52.000 I mean, I've witnessed Trump at rallies kind of call out the Secret Service and saying, why are these barricades up there?

00:20:01.000 I want to let people get closer to the stage.

00:20:04.000 I was at a rally in Iowa during the 2022 midterms where he actually got his staff to remove some of the barriers so more of the crowd could come closer to the stage.

00:20:15.000 He's not going to want to scale down, scale back any of this thing.

00:20:18.000 I was talking to one of the many people that are involved in So interesting tweet here from Dan Bongino, guys.

00:20:25.000 This guy's a former Secret Service agent.

00:20:27.000 Dan Bongino says, actively communicating with a number of former colleagues from the Secret Service about this assassination attempt.

00:20:32.000 This is an obviously catastrophic failure.

00:20:34.000 No excuses should be made or even attempted.

00:20:36.000 Absolutely.

00:20:36.000 I mean, yeah, I tweeted this earlier that it's a big fucking L. The failures are profound and questions must be answered about ground surveillance, air surveillance, post-standard support, and counter-sniper advance work and response.

00:20:52.000 We have one job and we came within inches of deadly failure today. 0.93

00:20:56.000 An uneventful failure is not a success.

00:20:58.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:20:58.000 I agree with that.

00:21:01.000 And here he is as well.

00:21:03.000 Let's see if he tweeted anything else.

00:21:06.000 Boom.

00:21:06.000 Yep. Episode 2079.

00:21:18.000 It's time for a...

00:21:20.000 Okay.

00:21:21.000 Explains that Donald Trump still does not have a full presidential protection package despite the apocalyptic...

00:21:25.000 What did I tell y'all ninjas? 0.99

00:21:26.000 I fucking told you guys. 0.99

00:21:29.000 I told you guys that he doesn't have a full protection, Secret Service protection detail. 0.99

00:21:34.000 This guy, that's a former Secret Service.

00:21:36.000 Right?

00:21:37.000 And he's even telling you guys that he didn't have full protection.

00:21:39.000 And this is what I'm trying to say.

00:21:41.000 When you are a running president and someone as divisive as Trump, you need to have a full Secret Service detail that is the equivalent to what the president has.

00:21:50.000 Okay?

00:21:51.000 Let's go ahead and play this.

00:21:52.000 Watch this clip.

00:21:53.000 Full presidential package for President Trump.

00:21:56.000 If you go back and listen to episode 2079, President Trump does not have that.

00:22:02.000 He doesn't have that now.

00:22:04.000 I get it.

00:22:04.000 There are some legalities involved.

00:22:06.000 But President Trump is a former president running for re-election.

00:22:10.000 You essentially have two incumbents running.

00:22:12.000 Folks, he does not have a full presidential package right now.

00:22:17.000 It is putting the man in danger.

00:22:19.000 His threat level is apocalyptic.

00:22:22.000 And I'll tell you this.

00:22:22.000 After this, they need to give him a full presidential detail to the same level as Biden.

00:22:27.000 To the same goddamn level. 0.97

00:22:28.000 Because a sitting president gets certain levels of security. 0.99

00:22:31.000 He has the highest level.

00:22:32.000 That's all, you know, that's like prime secret service priority.

00:22:38.000 But Trump needs the same.

00:22:40.000 Catastrophic. 1.00

00:22:41.000 It is time right now for Kim Cheadle, the Secret Service Director, to get her head out of her ass and do the right thing. 0.99

00:22:49.000 I could tell you stories for days about her putting politics ahead of presidential protection. 0.99

00:22:55.000 I am not being overly emotional because I've said it before.

00:22:58.000 The Secret Service Director is utterly unqualified right now to be doing what she's doing.

00:23:03.000 She. 0.93

00:23:04.000 LOL. It's time for her first to get this thing solved. 0.69

00:23:07.000 It's an emergency situation right now and find out what happened.

00:23:11.000 But she should step down immediately.

00:23:14.000 Some of the things she has told people on that detail about security arrangements, clearly making political statements, she is completely unqualified.

00:23:23.000 It is time for President Trump to have a full presidential package.

00:23:32.000 I'll leave you with this and then I'm asking you all, please, again, it's in these times where You know, I'm not some freaking poet, man, so we don't need to do any of that stuff.

00:23:46.000 I'm just saying, you know, like when these people get lost at sea, they have lighthouses and stuff for a reason, you know?

00:23:52.000 God's that one for you, and he's that one for us right now.

00:23:57.000 Just ask.

00:23:58.000 Just open up.

00:23:59.000 Prayer matters.

00:24:00.000 It's not a joke.

00:24:02.000 It's not some scam.

00:24:04.000 What do you think?

00:24:05.000 This was all created out of some kind of alien mist or something?

00:24:09.000 We need him right now.

00:24:11.000 The nation needs them. 0.98

00:24:12.000 We're still the United States of America, even though we got a lot of crazy people.

00:24:17.000 You don't want some foreign country right now taking advantage of this chaos. 1.00

00:24:27.000 End on this.

00:24:31.000 Listen, I say all the time, maybe put a little smile on your face in a really tragic time.

00:24:41.000 Campaigns are snapshots and soundbites.

00:24:43.000 That's all they are.

00:24:46.000 Donald Trump's got a lot of guts, man, getting up there.

00:24:49.000 Exposing himself again to what he knew.

00:24:52.000 What he knew was an assassination attempt.

00:24:55.000 And pounding his fist in the air.

00:24:59.000 That's true.

00:25:00.000 Moments after being shot at.

00:25:02.000 Moments. 1.00

00:25:02.000 When most people would buckle and cry like, oh shit. 1.00

00:25:05.000 That snapshot's gonna live forever. 1.00

00:25:08.000 That was a clip from the Dan Bongino show.

00:25:10.000 Bam.

00:25:11.000 Shout out to Dan Bongino, also a colleague in the rumble space of things.

00:25:17.000 Read some of these chats real fast from you ninjas.

00:25:19.000 We got here...

00:25:20.000 Durag Marin, yo Marin, check the Discord.

00:25:22.000 Moe, check Discord. 0.65

00:25:23.000 Marin has a picture of the shooter.

00:25:24.000 Yep, Arius.

00:25:25.000 Durag Marin again.

00:25:26.000 Marin, I sent a video to Moe of a spectator literally seeing the guy crawl up in him telling cops about him, then the cops ignoring him. 0.99

00:25:33.000 Oh, shit. 0.99

00:25:34.000 Yeah, I heard his... 1.00

00:25:36.000 You know what?

00:25:36.000 Let's go ahead and pull that up real fast.

00:25:39.000 I saw that...

00:25:40.000 I saw that, like...

00:25:45.000 Let me see here.

00:25:50.000 Okay, let me put here...

00:25:52.000 Spectator sees Trump shooter.

00:25:58.000 And we might get it.

00:26:00.000 Let's see here.

00:26:01.000 And then Topshay says, Trump does not have a full outfit security secret service unit, especially the exterior secret services perimeter.

00:26:15.000 Failed to listen to bystanders about a man crawling on a roof with a rifle.

00:26:18.000 They failed to listen.

00:26:19.000 Yes, yes, that is true.

00:26:20.000 That is true.

00:26:21.000 And I heard some of it before about this.

00:26:24.000 Let me find this video that you're talking about on Telegram.

00:26:27.000 Let me see here.

00:26:30.000 Okay, Mo sent it to me.

00:26:31.000 I'm going to play it right now.

00:26:31.000 Shout out to you, Mo.

00:26:32.000 Thank you so much for finding it for me.

00:26:34.000 I'm going to pull it up for you ninjas right now. 0.88

00:26:35.000 Give me one sec.

00:26:37.000 I'll pull this up and we'll play this video.

00:26:40.000 Boom, here's the video.

00:26:42.000 Okay.

00:26:44.000 Let me download this thing.

00:26:47.000 Play it for you guys.

00:26:50.000 Alright.

00:26:51.000 Bear with me.

00:26:52.000 Looks like it's a two-minute clip here.

00:26:56.000 Let me move this over here. 0.64

00:26:59.000 And then...

00:27:00.000 I'm gonna open it for you guys here in a second.

00:27:03.000 I got it right here.

00:27:05.000 And listen to the rally.

00:27:08.000 Over.

00:27:09.000 Boom.

00:27:10.000 Boom.

00:27:11.000 I'm a one-man show right now, guys.

00:27:13.000 Bear with me.

00:27:13.000 Okay, we got it.

00:27:17.000 And listen to the rally, right?

00:27:19.000 We couldn't see him, but we could hear him.

00:27:23.000 So we walked up, and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking, I'm estimating here, I have no idea, you know.

00:27:31.000 But we noticed a guy crawling...

00:27:36.000 You know, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us.

00:27:43.000 So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof.

00:27:48.000 And he had a gun, right?

00:27:49.000 He had a rifle.

00:27:49.000 We could clearly see him with a rifle, absolutely.

00:27:53.000 We're pointing at him.

00:27:54.000 The police are down there running around on the ground.

00:27:57.000 We're like, hey, man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle.

00:28:01.000 And the police are like, huh, what?

00:28:02.000 You know, like they didn't know what was going on.

00:28:06.000 And guys, like again, they're confused because what did I tell you guys before, right?

00:28:10.000 See how everything I said is like coming kind of to fruition?

00:28:13.000 Secret Service guys, when they do details, heavily rely on other law enforcement agencies to help augment their security detail.

00:28:20.000 I'm gonna say that again.

00:28:21.000 When Secret Service goes and does these rallies, They heavily depend on other law enforcement agencies to augment the security detail.

00:28:31.000 What does that mean?

00:28:32.000 Well, you got a guy, right?

00:28:34.000 That is a law enforcement guy, right? 0.99

00:28:37.000 Like for me, for example, when I was put on a secret service detail, I'm not a protection fucking guy. 0.96

00:28:41.000 I'm a criminal investigator. 0.95

00:28:42.000 I specialize in going after drug traffickers and human smugglers and firearms.

00:28:47.000 I'm not a protection detail guy, right?

00:28:49.000 Security and protection is not the same as law enforcement.

00:28:52.000 Okay?

00:28:53.000 So when they bring these state police guys in, they bring in a lot of these HSI agents, etc.

00:28:56.000 A lot of these guys that you guys are seeing in suits that are Secret Service detail, a lot of them are HSI agents.

00:29:02.000 They're not Secret Service agents.

00:29:03.000 They're just helping augment the detail.

00:29:06.000 So they're not as specifically trained, and they don't have the same background when it comes to protection versus law enforcement, which are two different missions completely.

00:29:16.000 So when this guy is telling the police, yo, we're seeing a guy, blah, blah, blah, like...

00:29:20.000 He might... 1.00

00:29:21.000 Because remember, guys, at every single rally, there's people saying stupid shit like this. 1.00

00:29:25.000 Yo, there's somebody gonna do this! 1.00

00:29:27.000 Like, there's hundreds of tips that come in.

00:29:29.000 This guy's gonna attempt this at this rally.

00:29:30.000 This guy's gonna do this.

00:29:31.000 Yo, this guy's doing this at this rally, blah, blah, blah.

00:29:33.000 So, you know, not make an excuse for these guys, but it's very difficult to ascertain what's serious and what isn't serious. 0.99

00:29:39.000 So you see this guy, right, with his fucking... 0.99

00:29:42.000 Let's be honest here. 1.00

00:29:43.000 Like, this dude looks like a ginger Abe Lincoln, right? 0.85

00:29:45.000 You might look at this nigga like, wait, what? 1.00

00:29:47.000 What are you... 1.00

00:29:47.000 Bro, shut up. 1.00

00:29:48.000 You know, you're not going to take them seriously. 1.00

00:29:49.000 Hey, bro, there's someone on the building!

00:29:50.000 You don't know if they're serious or whatever it may be.

00:29:53.000 So, granted, obviously, the police in this situation, I heard this, guarantee you they probably weren't secret service agents.

00:29:59.000 They're probably state police, local police, county sheriff's office, whatever it may be.

00:30:03.000 They're the ones that probably heard this, right?

00:30:06.000 And they're like, what?

00:30:07.000 And they're still assessing the information.

00:30:09.000 And at that point, you got seconds, maybe a minute, to react, right?

00:30:14.000 So, um...

00:30:15.000 Again, obviously, this is unacceptable, but this is why it's so important for Secret Service.

00:30:21.000 They need more Secret Service agents because more Secret Service agents means that they're able to be properly trained for protection.

00:30:26.000 When you're properly trained for protection, you're going to take threats like this extremely credibly versus a regular police officer.

00:30:31.000 Right?

00:30:32.000 Which is who they were probably talking to. 0.97

00:30:34.000 A local guy that's just there doing a fucking detail, you know, not told anything, right? 0.89

00:30:38.000 Because a lot of times they're not told a lot of the details of the Secret Service detail. 0.97

00:30:41.000 The law enforcement guys, they're just there.

00:30:42.000 They're just told, stay in this location, and that's it.

00:30:45.000 They don't tell them anything else. 0.99

00:30:46.000 So they don't know, really, what the fuck's going on. 0.99

00:30:50.000 We can see him from right here. 0.99

00:30:51.000 We see him.

00:30:53.000 He's crawling.

00:30:54.000 And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking?

00:30:59.000 Why have they not pulled him off the stage?

00:31:01.000 I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two, three minutes.

00:31:05.000 Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn.

00:31:08.000 I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this.

00:31:12.000 And next thing you know, five shots ring out.

00:31:15.000 So you're certain that the shots came from that guy on the ring?

00:31:19.000 100%.

00:31:20.000 And he was up there for a couple of minutes?

00:31:23.000 He was up there.

00:31:23.000 You saw him up there for a couple of minutes?

00:31:24.000 Absolutely.

00:31:25.000 At least three to four minutes.

00:31:26.000 And you were telling the police in the secret service?

00:31:28.000 We were telling the police, we were pointing at them for the Secret Service who were looking at us from the top of the barn.

00:31:34.000 They were looking at us the whole time when we were standing by that tree.

00:31:36.000 Could they see him?

00:31:37.000 Binoculars.

00:31:37.000 Could they see him?

00:31:38.000 Probably not, because the roof, the way the slope went, he was behind where they could see.

00:31:43.000 But why is there not Secret Service on all of these roofs here?

00:31:47.000 I mean, this is not a big place.

00:31:50.000 Did you see, I mean, obviously everyone, when the shooting started, everyone was very panicked.

00:31:54.000 Did you see what happened to him at all?

00:31:56.000 Oh yeah, they blew his head off.

00:31:58.000 Okay, sorry.

00:31:59.000 Secret Service blew his head off.

00:32:00.000 Okay, just be careful because we're live. 1.00

00:32:05.000 Shut up. 0.98

00:32:06.000 We don't quite know who's watching, but you're pretty sure they shot the guy? 1.00

00:32:09.000 Absolutely, 100%.

00:32:10.000 You saw that happen?

00:32:12.000 Yep.

00:32:12.000 And if you guys want to see what it looks like, click the link at the top.

00:32:15.000 It's pinned.

00:32:15.000 I got a picture of my ex where you guys can go ahead and look at the photo.

00:32:19.000 Yep.

00:32:19.000 And did you see them go up to him afterwards?

00:32:23.000 Yeah, they crawled up on the roof.

00:32:25.000 They had their guns pointed at him. 0.93

00:32:27.000 Make sure he was dead. 0.98

00:32:28.000 He was dead. 0.99

00:32:28.000 And that was it. 0.99

00:32:29.000 It was over.

00:32:33.000 Typical Pennsylvania guy, that accent is funny.

00:32:36.000 So that's why it's funny.

00:32:37.000 You guys can see some of my Overwatch montages coming very soon for you ninjas.

00:32:43.000 Overwatch montages coming soon.

00:32:45.000 Let's see here.

00:32:49.000 Donald Trump in an attempted assassination at one of his events in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:32:55.000 He was there for a rally, a political rally.

00:32:58.000 You see the events here.

00:32:59.000 There were the popping sounds in the crowd.

00:33:01.000 The former president reaching for his right ear before going down to the deck right there on the stage.

00:33:06.000 The Secret Service surrounding the former president.

00:33:09.000 Let's do a little deep dive on secret service director Kimberly Cheadle Here she is. 1.00

00:33:22.000 Kermit Chittles is an American law enforcement officer who has served as director of the United States Secret Service.

00:33:26.000 Since September 2022, she previously had multiple roles in the United States.

00:33:30.000 So what did she do before?

00:33:31.000 She joined Secret Service in '95, 2017, 2018.

00:33:33.000 She served as deputy assistant director.

00:33:37.000 She was the SAC of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

00:33:39.000 She became the first woman to serve as Assistant Director of Protective Operations, a department tasked with protection of President Dignitaries and managed a budget of $133.5 million.

00:33:47.000 During her tenure, Cheadle was assigned to the Vice Presidential Protective Division. 0.51

00:33:50.000 During the Obama administration, 2019 and 2022, Cheadle served as Senior Director of Global Security at PepsiCo, which was responsible for directing and implementing security protocols for the company's facilities in North America.

00:34:00.000 Her role involves Developing Risk Management Assessment and Risk Mitigation.

00:34:03.000 2021, President Joe Biden awarded Cheadle a Presidential Rank Award for Exceptional Performance.

00:34:08.000 2022, Biden announced the appointment of Cheadle to be Director of the United States Secret Service, and she assumed office on September 17, 2022.

00:34:15.000 She took over following a turbulent couple months in which the agency best known for protecting presidents faced controversy related to January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

00:34:23.000 So she got...

00:34:25.000 Yeah, she's definitely gonna be...

00:34:27.000 There's gonna be...

00:34:28.000 Guys, there's gonna be congressional inquiries.

00:34:30.000 They're gonna grill her on Capitol Hill. 1.00

00:34:32.000 You best believe.

00:34:33.000 There is going to be hell to pay after this.

00:34:37.000 For sure.

00:34:40.000 On a rooftop, some 200 to 300 yards away from that venue.

00:34:45.000 Once again, with an AR-style rifle.

00:34:49.000 We're going to bring in some of our other correspondents and contributors here in just a moment.

00:34:53.000 Forgive me, I'm getting instructions.

00:34:55.000 I can't do that.

00:34:56.000 You've got to keep moving it forward.

00:34:58.000 Okay.

00:34:58.000 We've been speaking with eyewitnesses all day.

00:35:02.000 Let's go ahead and listen.

00:35:05.000 Tell me what you saw and what you heard.

00:35:07.000 You said that you heard the popping sounds and you got down?

00:35:09.000 I heard popping sounds.

00:35:09.000 At first you think like maybe firecrackers, but it continued.

00:35:13.000 It continued.

00:35:14.000 And then somebody yelled, get down. 0.99

00:35:16.000 We got down.

00:35:17.000 We got down and we huddled and we started praying.

00:35:20.000 And we just started praying.

00:35:22.000 And thank God, a little while later, we got up when we saw other people get up.

00:35:26.000 We saw Trump get up, raise his fist like I'm okay.

00:35:31.000 And we...

00:35:32.000 We just kept praying.

00:35:35.000 I felt really bad.

00:35:37.000 I'm worried about our grandchildren.

00:35:39.000 What kind of life are they going to have if this goes on, if people don't have the right to say what they want.

00:35:46.000 You told me that you were here.

00:35:47.000 I'll tell you this, Butler's about to get golden more than ever before.

00:35:49.000 You weren't very far.

00:35:49.000 No, we were like from here to where that thing is.

00:35:54.000 And you got down, you said you got down immediately?

00:35:57.000 Yeah, everybody yelled, get down. 0.86

00:36:01.000 My daughter-in-law, Lisa, she said for us to hurry up and get down.

00:36:06.000 Well, I mean, I saw, like, all the, like, Secret Service, like, kind of...

00:36:11.000 They did a really good job about that, making sure he was protected, telling everyone to get down.

00:36:17.000 So I think they did take a good care of making sure everyone was understanding what was going on and being serious but not freaking everybody out.

00:36:24.000 What was your initial reaction when you heard those popping noises?

00:36:28.000 To get down.

00:36:29.000 Yeah, so I actually like my boyfriend pushed me on the ground and like went on top of me, which was like really nice.

00:36:34.000 But I think a lot of people I think were a little like too shocked to understand what was going on originally for sure.

00:36:42.000 But I think I think everyone listened pretty well and it was handled pretty well.

00:36:46.000 Did you see some of that commotion that was playing out on the other side of the bleacher where we saw law enforcement agents sort of swarm around another individual or did you ultimately just rush out?

00:36:54.000 No, we were there for a minute because they did tell us to go back down again just in case.

00:36:59.000 I think that was good because it helped, like, calm people down.

00:37:02.000 But I think one of the stands that I was next to, they did, like, carry out a man.

00:37:06.000 And there was another one that might have been injured.

00:37:08.000 I'm not 100% sure, but definitely one at least.

00:37:11.000 And on the other stand on the other side, because I was on the right, on the left, there were, like, a bunch of, like, men in uniform, like, surrounding someone.

00:37:20.000 So that was interesting to see.

00:37:23.000 You said that you were very impressed by the speed in which Secret Service was able to get on that stage within seconds.

00:37:29.000 I'll pause this real quick. 1.00

00:37:31.000 Chats goes, Trump is a fucking goat. 1.00

00:37:33.000 This is from only two genders. 1.00

00:37:35.000 Hopefully he isn't controlled by the Zyos. 1.00

00:37:36.000 Yep.

00:37:37.000 Chunker says, an inch away from civil war, I have young children.

00:37:40.000 God help us all. 0.99

00:37:41.000 Yeah, man, crazy. 1.00

00:37:44.000 Yep. 1.00

00:37:44.000 Viola Price says, what do you think? 1.00

00:37:46.000 Intentional or just negligence on Secret Service?

00:37:48.000 I sure hope whoever is head of his security details fire tomorrow.

00:37:50.000 Yeah, I would say a lot of negligence, guys.

00:40:19.000 Shit is funny. 1.00

00:40:20.000 Let's keep going here. 1.00

00:40:26.000 Of all of us hearing those popping sounds.

00:40:28.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:40:29.000 They did a great job.

00:40:30.000 I definitely felt protected in the situation.

00:40:33.000 The sniper was on it, watching on guard.

00:40:36.000 Everyone on the scene did a great job.

00:40:39.000 I mean, of course, it was nerve-wracking in the moment, but I never felt...

00:40:42.000 Someone said the after hours from last night is still processing.

00:40:45.000 I'll double check that.

00:40:46.000 I felt like I was in danger, which was cool.

00:40:48.000 They were on the president, which I'm very thankful of, and they did a great job protecting him and getting him out as quick as possible.

00:40:54.000 He is doing good, which is good.

00:40:57.000 I'm the Republican nominee for the Senate in Pennsylvania.

00:41:02.000 I was in the front row, and President Trump had just announced me and said he was going to have me come up on the stage.

00:41:10.000 And said, well, wait a minute.

00:41:12.000 And then there were a number of shots.

00:41:14.000 I think probably seven or eight shots.

00:41:17.000 It wasn't clear whether they would come from one place or two places.

00:41:21.000 At least I couldn't tell.

00:41:23.000 And immediately there was a swarm of Secret Service officers that knocked down President Trump and got on top of him.

00:41:32.000 And then he stood back up and you sort of saw this fist come held sort of defiant that looked like he was okay, but you couldn't tell for sure.

00:41:43.000 It looked like there was some blood, but it wasn't obvious.

00:41:46.000 And then the entire crowd went to the ground because we weren't sure whether the shots were done.

00:41:51.000 And then unfortunately, over my shoulder, someone had clearly been hit.

00:41:57.000 I was on the ground, and up in the bleachers, probably three or four bleachers behind me, it looked like there was a man who was severely injured.

00:42:09.000 There was a lot of blood, and his people around him were trying to administer first aid.

00:42:15.000 And then some police officers came in and carried him out and presumably took him to get First, you know, first aid.

00:42:25.000 That's really all I could see.

00:42:26.000 I don't know if there were other people injured, and I don't know if there was anybody apprehended, because as you might imagine, once that happened, the crowd was very chaotic, and it was very hard to know what was going on.

00:42:40.000 And we're still there at the rally, just sitting, trying to get out, because the traffic is so backed up.

00:42:45.000 And Dave, your account seems to confirm some of this reporting that we're getting about a shooter and potential bystanders who were hurt.

00:42:55.000 Just talk more about your initial reaction.

00:42:58.000 I mean, seeing this, you're running for Senate in the state of Pennsylvania.

00:43:01.000 You're about to walk up on the stage.

00:43:03.000 You're getting introduced by the former president.

00:43:05.000 And then you hear these shots ring out and the chaos in the crowd.

00:43:10.000 What was going through your mind in that moment?

00:43:14.000 Well, you know, it takes a minute to process.

00:43:18.000 People started to panic all around.

00:43:21.000 You could feel people were very scared.

00:43:24.000 And so, you know, everybody just dropped to the ground.

00:43:27.000 And, you know, it felt very obvious that the president was under assault, you know, and very much at risk.

00:43:34.000 And it wasn't clear.

00:43:36.000 Let's jump back into Twitter space, guys.

00:43:38.000 See what they're talking about right now.

00:43:41.000 We hit a height, by the way, guys, of like 62,000 in there when we had...

00:43:44.000 It was me, Tate, Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones was in there, Patrick, but David, it was lit.

00:43:52.000 62,000 in there.

00:43:55.000 ...by the coaches they hire.

00:43:57.000 They are not unbiased arbiters of the truth.

00:43:59.000 That's by Belakman.

00:44:00.000 Expect a long-form post by him that was reposted by Elon.

00:44:04.000 Initial thoughts on Belakman's post...

00:44:08.000 And I want to go to Tehran Lucky to get their thoughts on this tweet and more their political standpoint on whether we're going to continue seeing more and more endorsements flowing in.

00:44:19.000 I'm going to summarize Ackman's reasoning in one word.

00:44:25.000 Bill Ackman didn't give his reasoning, but he's been basically hinting that he's going to support Trump for weeks now.

00:44:31.000 As you remember, he was the one who supported Dean Phillips, brought him on to the stage where he had the opportunity to speak with him.

00:44:37.000 I remember that night.

00:44:40.000 And he has since certainly since the debate, he's been absolutely pretty convincing that, you know, Biden should step down, he shouldn't be out there, etc., etc.

00:44:50.000 So I don't think the Bill Ackman statement is going to move the needle, particularly because I think he had made it clear where he was going to go with it.

00:44:58.000 However, I think this incident will have a significant—look, a lot of things will have a significant impact.

00:45:06.000 Biden's debate performance is probably still the most significant impact that we've seen on this race.

00:45:12.000 But this—and Trump's courage.

00:45:14.000 I mean, let's be clear here.

00:45:15.000 It's not so— I'm gonna mute her real quick.

00:45:17.000 So here's Butler, Pennsylvania, guys.

00:45:18.000 It's the city and county in the seat of Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:45:21.000 Located 35 miles north of Pittsburgh and part of the Greater Pittsburgh region.

00:45:25.000 Population only 13,000.

00:45:26.000 So that's a small-ass town, man.

00:45:30.000 Interesting.

00:45:32.000 Very, very interesting.

00:45:33.000 Very small.

00:45:36.000 Oh, wow.

00:45:36.000 It's all the way out there.

00:45:37.000 It's fucking... 0.99

00:45:38.000 Okay. 1.00

00:45:39.000 It's far, far west Pennsylvania.

00:45:42.000 Out there in the bonies.

00:45:46.000 Shooters fan or anything like that.

00:45:47.000 But like I said, I think that image is somewhat iconic.

00:45:51.000 I think his courage and standing up and saying fight is going to resonate with a lot of people who may dislike him but sort of thought he was more of a lightweight personally.

00:45:59.000 So I think this has changed things, but I actually feel like the debate changed things more.

00:46:06.000 Maybe not.

00:46:06.000 The polling might not show that, but I think in general the debate changed things more because if Joe Biden was considered to be a forceful Lucky, your thoughts?

00:46:26.000 And then we'll go to Michael.

00:46:29.000 Michael, I've got a few questions from a security perspective.

00:46:32.000 Lucky?

00:46:32.000 Yeah, I mean, I think this is way more impactful than any debate.

00:46:36.000 Oh, look, even Jake Paul waited!

00:46:40.000 Even Jake Ball waited, man.

00:46:42.000 ...with the blood coming out of his ear in defiance.

00:46:45.000 Same fight.

00:46:47.000 My wife is not very political.

00:46:49.000 I mean, she's a Trump supporter, but kind of a hidden Trump supporter.

00:46:52.000 She's ordering flags and putting signs out and like, You know, she's all ready to go now, right?

00:46:57.000 And I think a lot of people see that, right?

00:46:59.000 The guy had an assassination attempt.

00:47:01.000 He survived it.

00:47:02.000 He got, you know, had a bullet fly through his head.

00:47:04.000 And he put his fist up. 0.50

00:47:05.000 And that was his response.

00:47:06.000 You know, he's turned as this, like, you know, rich guy.

00:47:11.000 Candace Cook and Eminem.

00:47:12.000 But, you know, he had a bullet fly.

00:47:13.000 Eminem has gotten soft, man.

00:47:15.000 He stuck his fist up.

00:47:16.000 And, you know, he stuck his fist up multiple times.

00:47:17.000 Even as he got into the car, he stuck his fist up.

00:47:20.000 And I wanted to kind of address Joe because he kind of implied this political violence came from Trump.

00:47:25.000 If we go back to 2015, 2016, there was a lot of families and moms and pops and grandmoms going to these Trump rallies, and they were getting punched in the face by Antifa.

00:47:35.000 They were having eggs thrown on them.

00:47:37.000 They were getting doused in liquid.

00:47:39.000 There was a lot of violence shown to people just wearing MAGA hats, right?

00:47:44.000 And when Trump ran, he was kind of...

00:47:46.000 ...that would have been previously afraid to state their support for Donald Trump or maybe even personally tepid about it.

00:47:51.000 Now coming in and asking, how can I help?

00:47:53.000 I'm all in.

00:47:54.000 These are exactly words of people who have contacted me alone in the last several hours, and I'm sure that's true of people across the country.

00:48:00.000 The reality is I don't want to make this political tonight.

00:48:03.000 This is not the moment for that.

00:48:05.000 I will say that President Biden, who ran on the platform of uniting the country, had an opportunity even tonight to really rise to the occasion in a way that he fell short.

00:48:14.000 I don't say this criticizing him as a Democrat, but somebody who was rooting for a president to rise to the occasion immediately.

00:48:21.000 And not only offer the usual ritual incantation, the ritual condemnation of political violence, yeah, we got that, but a deeper heartfelt sense to say that, you know what, this is a man who I'm running against, but it is wrong that this should happen to anybody, and this is not who we are as Americans, and if I as a U.S. president have failed to create this environment in this country, then I will own that because the buck stops with me as the commander-in-chief.

00:48:44.000 I don't think we saw that kind of message come from President Biden tonight.

00:48:48.000 And for all the discussions about how he came short after the debate, I do think that even tonight was a moment for a man who ran on the platform of uniting the country to have fallen short in the way that he did.

00:49:00.000 But this is less about criticizing President Biden and more asking the question of how we as Americans are able to say we're moving on.

00:49:07.000 We're turning a page on a chapter of our history where we see our political opponents as our enemies.

00:49:11.000 Let tonight mark the end of that.

00:49:13.000 And if so, something positive, as you could imagine, at least something small positive that came out of this tonight, let it be that.

00:49:20.000 You talk about rising to the occasion.

00:49:22.000 I want to go back to what you were saying earlier there.

00:49:27.000 So you can continue.

00:49:28.000 Ricardo can keep streaming it.

00:49:29.000 I think they're asking him questions.

00:49:31.000 And he got up and he said, you know, I need my shoes.

00:49:34.000 and then he stopped and he fist pumped a couple of times and he said fight fight and the response was USA USA because that's the natural response at all of his rallies he talks about fighting it's been a theme and the theme is they're coming for you but but I'm in the way so you got to keep fighting what do you think about that response and that having the wherewithal to do that

00:50:00.000 Look, I think those images we saw, our kids and our grandkids are going to be viewing that image in their history books.

00:50:05.000 That was American history tonight and for the better. 0.84

00:50:08.000 It was like the images of George Washington crossing the Delaware with the flag in the background.

00:50:12.000 That's what we saw tonight.

00:50:13.000 And it was one of those moments.

00:50:15.000 Our founding fathers, they risked not only their fortunes, but their lives for this country.

00:50:20.000 And I think this is one of those moments where we have a leader who has made a sacrifice.

00:50:24.000 I'm personally grateful now more than ever for the sacrifices that President Trump has made.

00:50:28.000 I'm grateful that God stepped in tonight to save him for this country.

00:50:33.000 All right, Vivek Ramaswamy, thank you very much.

00:50:36.000 So that was Vivek Ramaswamy being interviewed by Fox News.

00:50:40.000 I want to go back to the shooting here.

00:50:43.000 But just one quick question for Tira.

00:50:46.000 Would you agree this image will go into the history books, Tira, and then we'll go to Oh, sure.

00:50:50.000 It almost looks like, I mean, I hate to say that.

00:50:52.000 I'm sorry, but it looks like Iwo Jima a little, doesn't it?

00:50:55.000 You know, the landing on the beach, doesn't it?

00:50:57.000 I mean, it really is quite iconic, and I do think it will go into the history books.

00:51:02.000 Let me say one thing about Vivek.

00:51:03.000 That was just nonsense, because what Joe Biden said is there's no place in America for this kind of violence. 0.95

00:51:10.000 It's sick. 0.98

00:51:11.000 It's one of the reasons why we have to unite the country.

00:51:13.000 We cannot allow for this to be happening.

00:51:15.000 We cannot be like this.

00:51:16.000 The bottom line is the Trump rally is a rally that he should have been able to conduct peacefully without any problem.

00:51:21.000 The idea that there's political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of.

00:51:25.000 It's just not appropriate.

00:51:26.000 So he actually did say those things.

00:51:28.000 So I don't really care how Vivek is spinning it.

00:51:31.000 Biden did say these things.

00:51:32.000 You might not think he said them quickly enough.

00:51:35.000 He made two statements.

00:51:36.000 This was the second.

00:51:37.000 But at the end of the day, I don't think we should let Vivek just say what he said without pushback.

00:51:42.000 Thanks.

00:51:44.000 I mean, Biden ran on a lie.

00:51:46.000 His whole campaign was built around Charlottesville and saying Trump endorsed Nazis.

00:51:50.000 What I'm saying to you is I just read what Biden said.

00:51:55.000 Everything Vivek said he should have said.

00:51:57.000 No, no, everything Vivek said he didn't say these things.

00:52:00.000 Excuse me.

00:52:01.000 Vivek said he didn't say these things.

00:52:04.000 Can I just finish, please?

00:52:07.000 Let me go to Michael.

00:52:09.000 Michael, good to have you, sir.

00:52:11.000 You did post 24 minutes ago, FBI has so-so.

00:52:14.000 First, you're the Senior Analyst for Strategy at the Center for Security Policy.

00:52:18.000 And you've got a book called The Big Intel, how the CIA and FBI went from Cold War heroes to deep state villains.

00:52:24.000 And you did post less than half an hour ago, FBI has so tarnished itself that it must not be in charge of investigating today's assassination attempt.

00:52:32.000 The lead investigating entity should be a special prosecutor or independent commission.

00:52:37.000 Michael, I'd love to get you to elaborate on this tweet and give us your thoughts on what we've discussed so far.

00:52:44.000 Sure, Mario.

00:52:45.000 Thanks for having me on.

00:52:46.000 The FBI, by default, would be the lead investigative agency for this type of incident.

00:52:52.000 But the problem is, of course, it spent years from the top down on a false crossfire hurricane counterintelligence operation to prevent Trump from being elected in the first place.

00:53:06.000 In its training and in its field office memos and so many other areas, it shows a distinct political bias against American citizens who support the president.

00:53:18.000 So since it's lost the public confidence in more than half of the population, it's the wrong agency to be leading this because it's going to get us down a track into allegations of covering up Allegations of complicity, all sorts of things that we don't know where this is going to go.

00:53:39.000 So then we get to the point, well, who is there?

00:53:43.000 Who can be trusted by most of the population and we really don't have an entity anymore that has that kind of public trust.

00:53:53.000 So I threw out the idea, I don't know the mechanisms that are necessary, but the idea of some type of a special prosecutor or investigative commission to lead the investigation and to supervise the FBI's vast resources and the use of its personnel.

00:54:11.000 So as you guys can see, we read on the FBI website, they are going to be the lead agency on this investigation.

00:54:17.000 We don't have an independent federal investigative agency worthy of the public trust.

00:54:23.000 And just getting your thoughts, just taking a step back, what would that do to the credibility?

00:54:29.000 That the FBI has at the moment.

00:54:32.000 So it just means that the credibility eroded away.

00:54:34.000 I've covered it extensively in the Twitter files, and it obviously goes back well beyond the Twitter files.

00:54:39.000 And now we've got this incident today.

00:54:42.000 What happens to the trust in the FBI and other three-letter agencies, and what does that do to America's democracy that relies on these institutions?

00:54:50.000 Right.

00:54:50.000 We need these institutions and we need most of the capabilities that they have.

00:54:55.000 But when they go for years abusing their power, even abusing the congressional committees that are supposed to oversee them and their members, the reality is that it's the other way around where those agencies often oversee their overseers, which there's no constitutional basis for this.

00:55:12.000 So we've gotten ourselves in a jam as a country where there's no one left who has But you know, the Republicans don't believe that an independent special counsel can be appointed according to Donald Trump and his lawyers, right?

00:55:33.000 So how are you going to put someone independent in when basically Trump doesn't believe that should happen?

00:55:40.000 Right, and that's the whole problem is that we don't have a mechanism.

00:55:44.000 So I was just throwing out the idea We've got to have some kind of mechanism for this.

00:55:49.000 And we don't.

00:55:50.000 And this comes on the heels of some other really awful things.

00:55:53.000 And I'll mute myself when I talk.

00:55:55.000 When the former chairman of the House January 6th Committee introduced legislation to remove Secret Service protections from Donald Trump.

00:56:05.000 And then you have people inside the Trump campaign who told the Federalists that the Secret Service detail around President Trump has been asking the Secret Service for more assets and has been refused by either the Department of Homeland Security or the White House to...

00:56:27.000 And then you have the whole matter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:56:31.000 being denied secret service protection by the White House.

00:56:33.000 Just for everyone, just sorry to interrupt you, Michael.

00:56:36.000 Myron, good to have you back.

00:56:38.000 But we are going to be streaming.

00:56:39.000 By the way, Chief, thank you so much for sending it through, Chief Chomster.

00:56:42.000 We're going to be streaming a press conference by the Secret Service and State Police.

00:56:46.000 That'll be the first press conference after the assassination attempt.

00:56:48.000 The show goes on, Chad.

00:56:49.000 That will be streamed in 20 minutes, and we'll be covering it live.

00:56:53.000 Sarah, if you can get the link, have the team ready.

00:56:54.000 That'll be immensely appreciated.

00:56:57.000 Let's go to Gary.

00:56:58.000 Gary, getting your thoughts.

00:56:59.000 I know you've had your hand up for a while.

00:57:00.000 Let's get Myron if you've got any new updates, Myron.

00:57:02.000 Sure.

00:57:03.000 And getting your thoughts on the recent developments and information that's come in.

00:57:07.000 But let's go to Gary first.

00:57:09.000 Yeah, my app is glitching a little bit.

00:57:11.000 I do see that he's been listening for a couple of hours.

00:57:13.000 I'll step down and then probably listen for a while, maybe step back up if he does come up.

00:57:17.000 Our common friend George Gammon is down in the area, and he often has a view of the macroeconomic impact of these things, such as assassination attempts.

00:57:27.000 So if it does go to the – what are world leaders going to do?

00:57:30.000 What is the market going to do?

00:57:32.000 That kind of commentary, that will be interesting.

00:57:34.000 But I'm going to step down for now, and I'll just listen in for a bit.

00:57:37.000 Give me one second, Chad.

00:57:39.000 I'll get in here and talk with these guys.

00:57:41.000 And then you guys, Myron, on the background.

00:57:43.000 But I'm going to mute my mic so you guys don't hear double. 0.99

00:57:45.000 The bets on Trump being the winner of the election, he's – the likelihood – let me go back to the graph here.

00:57:52.000 So it was – At about 60% chance, just before the assassination attempt, and it spiked by 10 percentage points to 70% chance that Trump will be the next president.

00:58:03.000 So that's on Polly Market.

00:58:05.000 And that number was as low, just to kind of give you perspective, but in May, that number was as low as 45% chance.

00:58:12.000 And it kind of picked up May 13th, up to 50% chance.

00:58:20.000 Obviously got the debate.

00:58:21.000 It went all the way up to 65, went back down, and now picked up to 70%, just the highest I've ever been.

00:58:25.000 That's on Polymarket, which allows people to bet on different outcomes.

00:58:29.000 Maga, go ahead and then we'll go to Myron.

00:58:33.000 Thanks, Mario.

00:58:35.000 Yeah, it'll be short.

00:58:37.000 I brought up oversight with the FBI and the FBI coming in.

00:58:42.000 As I was a protective service officer, believe it or not, that was my additional duty in regards to counterterrorism and counterintelligence, which was my primary as a division lead.

00:58:52.000 And the oversight of DOD, which I worked for, is very different than the FBI, of course.

00:58:59.000 But you have, of course, Congress and the Government Accountability Office that oversee, for instance, like Director Wray, who is in and is, you know, of course, a very concerning figure in regards to a very concerning figure in regards to where we lie, at least on the Republican side.

00:59:18.000 But, you know, what I will say is, you know, there is accountability.

00:59:22.000 It is, you know, worrisome that you would have somebody like Director Wray overseeing a Trump investigation.

00:59:31.000 You can only and unfortunately trust in Congress to And keeping things in check, right, with, you know, the Republican senators that normally you would watch just grill, you know, Ray every day, Senator Mayorkas, etc., down the line in regards to the wrongdoings that are going on.

00:59:52.000 However, yeah, so the accountability is there, but unfortunately it's the integrity of that accountability is questionable.

01:00:06.000 Just want to bring in Myron.

01:00:07.000 Myron, you have got experience in security detail.

01:00:14.000 Now, earlier on when you came in, your initial reaction was that this could possibly be incompetence by the Secret Service.

01:00:22.000 You looked at it again and you weren't too sure.

01:00:25.000 You said both are possible, maybe together or not.

01:00:28.000 Now you've got time to look into it in detail, reflect on it.

01:00:32.000 Have your thoughts changed?

01:00:35.000 Yeah, I think it's a combination of a couple of things.

01:00:37.000 I think it's a combination of manpower issues, which they've had for a very long time.

01:00:41.000 As I was telling you guys before, a lot of people don't know.

01:00:43.000 Secret Service is an agency that suffers from a lot of attrition.

01:00:45.000 No one wants to be a Secret Service agent anymore.

01:00:47.000 And they go to other agencies.

01:00:49.000 Also, I think, you know, that incompetence has led to openings for this weirdo to come in and, you know, shoot from the top of a building, which should always be secured.

01:00:56.000 And any type of rally.

01:00:57.000 And I think it's also important for me to say, and I didn't get to mention this before with your audience, that Secret Service heavily relies on other agencies to augment their security details.

01:01:05.000 So, for example, when I was working for HSI Homeland Security Investigations back in 2016, they relied on HSI a lot to help them with doing Secret Service details.

01:01:15.000 But here's the problem.

01:01:16.000 A Secret Service agent has a different mindset from an HSI agent or state police or local police that they bring these other agencies in.

01:01:22.000 Because as a criminal investigator, your job is to detect crime, do investigations, write affidavits, etc.

01:01:27.000 You're not a protection-oriented agent like a Secret Service agent or Diplomatic Security Service.

01:01:32.000 So when you rely heavily on other law enforcement agencies to help augment your security detail, well, the quality of the security detail is going to be compromised.

01:01:40.000 Then you add in the fact that he's not a sitting president and he has You know, a diminished Secret Service capacity as far as security detail goes compared to a sitting president.

01:01:49.000 He's a very divisive president.

01:01:50.000 It's almost like the perfect recipe for disaster where you have less personnel.

01:01:54.000 You have a lot of other law enforcement agencies that don't necessarily share the same mission as Secret Service and aren't necessarily as well equipped to deal with protection details.

01:02:02.000 It's just a recipe for disaster.

01:02:06.000 The top of that building wasn't secured is inexcusable.

01:02:09.000 The other thing I wanted to say, because I see Mr.

01:02:12.000 J. Michael Waller had talked about how the FBI taking lead on here is a problem, which I agree.

01:02:16.000 The FBI has a black eye on them right now.

01:02:19.000 They're running two investigations as we speak right now, concurrent to this, where President Trump is the target.

01:02:25.000 And that does cause quite a bit of I've worked with the FBI many times, and I will tell you guys 100%, most of them are good guys at the agent level.

01:02:34.000 Once you start getting into problems is once you hit the brass. 0.85

01:02:36.000 The top end of the FBI is where the issues are with the corruption and the political bullshit and the bureaucracy. 0.55

01:02:42.000 But the agents on the ground are good guys. 0.64

01:02:44.000 You know, there are a lot of times law-abiding citizens that love this country.

01:02:47.000 But with that said, I don't think the FBI is the appropriate agency to run this investigation, given the fact that they're literally the lead agency on two of his prosecutions, whether it's in Washington, D.C. or down here in South Florida with the National Defense Information Classified Documents case.

01:03:01.000 I think the agency that will probably lead this investigation should be Homeland Security Investigations, HSI. At the end of the day, they're the principal lead enforcement agency when it comes to the Department of Homeland Security.

01:03:10.000 They have a lot of the same resources as the FBI. But, you know, the reason why the FBI is taking lead here is because they are the number one federal law enforcement agency and they have the most resources.

01:03:18.000 Then on top of that, also, guys, which they're not going to put this out on the news, the first thing they're going to try to rule out here and why the FBI is probably taking lead is they're trying to figure out if this was counter espionage, if this was terrorism, etc.

01:03:29.000 So that is probably why the FBI is taking lead.

01:03:31.000 And they have the most resources.

01:03:33.000 They're the biggest agency.

01:03:33.000 They have the most 1811s, aka special agents.

01:03:36.000 So I think that's a big reason why they designated them as a lead agency, though I don't think it is appropriate.

01:03:41.000 I agree with Waller on this, but it is what it is.

01:03:44.000 And another thing, too, I want everyone to understand Because people are saying, hey, we should put a special prosecutor or independent commission.

01:03:49.000 The problem with a special prosecutor or independent commission, guys, is you still need criminal investigators to run the investigation.

01:03:54.000 These lawyers have zero idea on how to conduct a real criminal investigation.

01:03:58.000 They're not interviewing suspects.

01:03:59.000 They're not gathering evidence.

01:04:01.000 They're not writing search warrants and swearing to them.

01:04:03.000 And actually analyzing these phones.

01:04:05.000 As we speak right now, I guarantee you guys, there's probably a search warrant being drafted for this individual's home, his phones, his computers, etc.

01:04:12.000 You need special agents, 1811s, to draft that up and then swear to it. 0.98

01:04:15.000 Go to the judge at 12 o'clock at midnight, which a lot of these lawyers aren't going to fucking do, by the way, and go get this thing sworn out and go search that house.

01:04:20.000 And then you're going to need agents to go ahead and secure the property. 0.69

01:04:23.000 You don't know if it's booby-trapped, etc. 0.92

01:04:24.000 This individual might be a crazy guy.

01:04:26.000 They're going to have to secure the location, go and get the evidence, all this other stuff. 0.94

01:04:29.000 So prosecutors and independent commissions can't do this, which is why If you look at something like the Warren Commission, which was done after Kennedy's assassination, it was a fucking joke because they didn't really have real investigators doing it a lot of times.

01:04:41.000 It was like a bunch of independent political bureaucrats running it. 0.97

01:04:44.000 So that's kind of what sucks. 0.96

01:04:46.000 You need to run an investigation. 0.63

01:04:48.000 And unfortunately, the FBI is the biggest agency we got.

01:04:50.000 And I do think it should go to another agency, maybe an HSI, etc., an agency that isn't leading a prosecution against our sitting president, Trump.

01:05:00.000 But that's what it is.

01:05:01.000 But yeah, I don't want to drone on too long.

01:05:02.000 I'll turn to someone else.

01:05:03.000 No, I appreciate it.

01:05:04.000 We do have, I think we've got like 10 to 15 minutes before the press conference about the Secret Service.

01:05:09.000 We do also have the information that the shooter is a 20-year-old white male.

01:05:13.000 That's the information we have so far, but the name has not been provided.

01:05:17.000 So the shooter has been identified as a 20-year-old white male from the local area.

01:05:22.000 No name provided.

01:05:24.000 Go ahead, Sarah.

01:05:24.000 So Myron, if I heard you correctly, in your opinion, the FBI already has this person's identity.

01:05:30.000 They have already likely either gone to the home, staked out the home.

01:05:36.000 They know everything that they possibly could at this point about the actual shooter.

01:05:42.000 Would you agree or disagree?

01:05:45.000 Yeah, 100%.

01:05:46.000 They got this guy identified.

01:05:47.000 They're probably going through all of his stuff right now as we speak and trying to identify him, other individuals.

01:05:52.000 I think that's a big reason why they're reluctant to release his identity is because they're trying to figure out anyone that's connected to him and if there's other co-conspirators.

01:06:00.000 I was going to mention that as well.

01:06:03.000 Do you think that there's a likelihood, just based on this shooting, that he was a lone wolf, or was he maybe part of a larger conspiracy?

01:06:13.000 You also mentioned that the FBI would look into whether this was terrorism, if this person worked on behalf of a foreign nation.

01:06:22.000 Is that something that they would already have nailed down, or do you think that that would come...

01:06:30.000 Yeah, I mean, it might take some time because they're going to obviously have to investigate this guy, figure out what his background is, etc.

01:06:37.000 The FBI is the lead agency when it comes to terrorism and counterespionage, right?

01:06:40.000 So I think that's a big reason why they're taking this on as the lead.

01:06:43.000 And also, to be honest with you guys, I've worked with Secret Service before.

01:06:46.000 They just don't have the capacity to conduct complex criminal investigations.

01:06:49.000 I'm just going to say it like it is.

01:06:50.000 They just don't.

01:06:51.000 Their forte is counterfeit money and financial crimes.

01:06:54.000 Something like this is quite a bit, even though they're tasked with protecting the president, if there's actually a real assassination attempt like we witnessed today, you're going to need an agency that actually has robust investigative skill set to do it.

01:07:06.000 So the FBI and HSR are probably the two agencies that are the best at doing this.

01:07:09.000 So yeah, I mean, it'll take time for them to figure out what the deal is, but I'm pretty confident that alongside the FBI's huge resources they have, You know, the thought that this could be espionage or terrorism, etc., is definitely, you know, in the back of their minds from a law enforcement perspective as to why they're taking lead on this thing.

01:07:28.000 One more quick question, Myron, if you don't mind.

01:07:31.000 Typically, like in a mass shooting situation, we would have the name of the shooter, all of their socials within sometimes hours of the shooting.

01:07:40.000 In this particular case, do you think it'll take days or even weeks before this information is released to the public?

01:07:48.000 That's a good question.

01:07:49.000 I would hope it gets released.

01:07:51.000 We don't know.

01:07:52.000 It could easily get leaked, etc.

01:07:53.000 But I guarantee you that, you know, it's a small team of agents that are probably running this case.

01:07:58.000 And they're keeping everything as close-knit as possible so that, you know, things don't leak because they're trying to, as we speak, they're trying to figure out who the hell this guy is and if there's other conspirators.

01:08:06.000 That's probably their number one Go right now.

01:08:08.000 And if they can go ahead and dispel that, you know, there's other conspirators, etc., then that's when we might figure out who this guy is and, you know, what his background is and stuff like that.

01:08:17.000 But I think their number one concern right now is to make sure that there aren't other conspirators.

01:08:20.000 The House isn't booby trapped.

01:08:21.000 There wasn't some other kind of elaborate plan.

01:08:24.000 Because whenever you're able to take a shot at the president like this, people are going to assume, hey, did this guy act alone?

01:08:29.000 What's going on here?

01:08:30.000 Was there a grand conspiracy?

01:08:31.000 I think that's what they're figuring out right now and trying to make sure.

01:08:35.000 And one more thing.

01:08:36.000 Apologies, Mario.

01:08:38.000 No, these are great questions.

01:08:39.000 No worries.

01:08:39.000 In this particular case, since Sorry, Chad.

01:09:02.000 I got you guys here and critically injured two people and killed.

01:09:07.000 I believe it was at least two.

01:09:09.000 One, one person killed two critical condition and obviously Trump and Trump injured.

01:09:15.000 Thank you very much.

01:09:16.000 Myron, would you do you think that in this case, if it was just a lone person, I had this thought in my head on.

01:09:28.000 Often with these crazy shooters, if it is a lone wolf, they post manifestos somewhere.

01:09:34.000 We've seen that in other mass shootings.

01:09:37.000 What are the likelihood, just in your opinion, that we will hear about a manifesto or see something on this person's social media accounts once they're identified?

01:09:48.000 Yeah, I mean, there's a good chance.

01:09:49.000 I think the only thing that would hold it back is if he, you know, if there was like national security issues where he was working for a foreign government or something like that, where they would need to classify it.

01:09:59.000 But there's a good likelihood that it would be released publicly down the road eventually.

01:10:04.000 I mean, I'm hoping we get it, you know, within the next 24 to 48 hours.

01:10:07.000 But, you know, they're probably going to try to keep this as tight knit as they possibly can in this situation.

01:10:12.000 I appreciate you.

01:10:14.000 Back to you, Mario.

01:10:14.000 Sorry.

01:10:18.000 Sorry, just watching some footage of the...

01:10:20.000 Let me just turn off the recording here.

01:10:22.000 Just watching some footage of the shooter dead on the rooftop.

01:10:25.000 We're about to play the stream now.

01:10:26.000 Sorry about the background noise.

01:10:27.000 We're about to play the stream very shortly of the Secret Service.

01:10:29.000 The first press conference is a shooting.

01:10:30.000 Also, Trump's plane has left Pittsburgh.

01:10:34.000 Let me just confirm here.

01:10:35.000 I think it has left Pittsburgh, which is the nearest major city to the rally in Butler.

01:10:42.000 So that's the latest update there.

01:10:43.000 Not sure where it's heading, but obviously everyone can connect the dots there.

01:10:47.000 Let's go to...

01:10:48.000 Maga, I saw your hand up, and then we'll be interrupting the speakers as soon as the press conference begins by the secret.

01:10:54.000 Oh, no, I didn't have my hand up.

01:10:55.000 I had the Trump fist up.

01:10:56.000 But I'll tell you, it was Myron that was speaking, right?

01:11:02.000 Yeah, it seems like we have a lot in common.

01:11:04.000 You know, I wasn't an 1811, but OSI special agent with the Air Force.

01:11:09.000 But yeah, I mean, some great answers, Sarah, some great questions.

01:11:13.000 And yeah, they're gonna keep things tight until they see value in releasing the name or just, yeah.

01:11:21.000 So I don't have anything else, but thanks for having me.

01:11:26.000 Yeah, so there's a question here, Myron, that was just posted three minutes ago by CNN. Not yet clear.

01:11:30.000 What impact the shooting will have on the RNC security plans?

01:11:34.000 So that's my next question for you.

01:11:35.000 What do we expect to see at the RNC? Oh, you're going to see beefed-up security significantly.

01:11:40.000 You best believe that Trump is probably going to get presidential-level Secret Service detail now.

01:11:45.000 You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Biden himself is pushing for it, right, because it would look bad on him as a sitting president.

01:11:50.000 To allow his competitors to be assassinated or anything for him.

01:11:53.000 So Trump, after this, is going to get sitting president-level Secret Service detail, which he should have got from the beginning.

01:11:59.000 It's ridiculous that he had a watered-down detail.

01:12:05.000 Yeah, that's another thing that I think Elon was also pretty critical of this, that he was requesting for the last few weeks.

01:12:11.000 He was requesting further security, and that was rejected.

01:12:13.000 Not sure who exactly rejected that request.

01:12:16.000 It was a couple of weeks.

01:12:17.000 There have been multiple requests according to reports.

01:12:20.000 It goes back to something we've been critical about when it came to RFK as well, who was refused secret service protection.

01:12:29.000 And I gave the example when I interviewed RFK in Austin a few weeks ago, or a couple of months ago now, his security was minimal to say the least.

01:12:38.000 concerningly minimal.

01:12:40.000 So yeah, that confirms that point.

01:12:42.000 We'll be playing the stream, I think it's about four minutes away.

01:12:45.000 In the meantime, there's a lot of speculation on where Trump is heading right now.

01:12:49.000 Obviously, we'll start seeing some poll numbers tomorrow.

01:12:52.000 What time do you expect, guys?

01:12:53.000 What time do you expect the poll numbers to come out tomorrow?

01:12:55.000 If anyone has any indication at all, do let me know or let me know in the comments.

01:13:00.000 Mike, I want to get your thoughts on everything we're seeing right now.

01:13:02.000 Mike Benz, how are you?

01:13:07.000 Mike Benz, is your mic working?

01:13:08.000 All right.

01:13:10.000 I'm going to...

01:13:11.000 I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.

01:13:13.000 Sorry, I couldn't pop you, bud.

01:13:15.000 I'll bring you back up.

01:13:16.000 Yeah, go ahead, Chief.

01:13:17.000 I'll bring up Mike Benz again.

01:13:19.000 Yeah, I'll just say this in terms of the question about how Trump is going to do poll-wise after this whole thing, if that was your question.

01:13:25.000 I think that Trump is going to have a humongous lead after this whole thing.

01:13:32.000 The race is effectively over, in my opinion, after the debate.

01:13:36.000 After this, it's completely over at this point.

01:13:41.000 I'm guessing, you know, it'd be, you know, like, if anything, it would be, like, before it was, like, what, four or five points?

01:13:47.000 It might be, like, eight points or even higher.

01:13:50.000 I think this is, again, a pretty closed election after this whole thing.

01:13:54.000 And this shows, again, Trump's strength.

01:13:56.000 Like, Trump got shot at. 0.84

01:13:57.000 He had a bullet go right by his head an inch away from going from his ear to his brain, to his entire head and blowing it up on the actual, like, live video. 0.60

01:14:08.000 And he still stood up despite being shot at.

01:14:10.000 And he said, fight, fight, fight.

01:14:12.000 Fist in the air.

01:14:14.000 A true fighter.

01:14:16.000 Someone who, despite being literally shot at, which is an experience that you or I most likely don't have, despite being shot at and in the crosshairs of someone trying to kill him, Still stood up on his two feet.

01:14:29.000 And stood up to the American people.

01:14:31.000 And that's powerful.

01:14:32.000 That imagery, that video, that shot is going to be played throughout history.

01:14:38.000 It's not just like the mugshot.

01:14:40.000 It's not like the other shots of Trump in rallies and outside his place as a residence.

01:14:49.000 No.

01:14:50.000 This is the shot of...

01:14:52.000 The century.

01:14:53.000 The shot of Trump being shot at and still standing to fight another day.

01:14:57.000 The shot of Trump, despite all the hurdles he's faced through years and years, standing up for adversity and standing up to fight the American people.

01:15:05.000 And I have my issues.

01:15:07.000 I have my qualms and beef and things I think Trump will be better at.

01:15:12.000 You know what?

01:15:13.000 Trump is a guy that inspired me to get into politics.

01:15:16.000 He's a guy that said put America first.

01:15:18.000 He's a guy that really inspired many people to vote for him.

01:15:22.000 And I really think that this moment is something that transcends just him as a Republican, but him as a person of America.

01:15:32.000 Someone who stands up despite all the stuff thrown at him and says, no, I'm just going to say fight for the fight despite being shot at.

01:15:38.000 And that's powerful stuff.

01:15:40.000 Let me go back.

01:15:41.000 Elon retweeted a tweet by Blake Hall.

01:15:48.000 Sorry, I'm good now.

01:15:50.000 I got some video I want to show you guys.

01:15:52.000 So this actually is a tweet from Chief Trumpster.

01:15:54.000 People are screaming he's got a gun.

01:16:00.000 He's got a gun!

01:16:06.000 He's got a gun! 1.00

01:16:09.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

01:16:10.000 Wait, I mean, that's seconds to respond. 1.00

01:16:15.000 That's crazy.

01:16:16.000 Okay, and then we got another clip here from a medical doctor.

01:16:20.000 This Chief Trumpster tweeted this out before.

01:16:22.000 Let me close this out real fast.

01:16:25.000 One man show over here, ladies and gentlemen.

01:16:27.000 This is from a medical doctor.

01:16:29.000 What did you see, sir?

01:16:31.000 I heard the shots.

01:16:33.000 I thought it was firecrackers to begin with.

01:16:37.000 Somebody over there was screaming, he's been shot, he's been shot.

01:16:40.000 So I made my way over.

01:16:42.000 I said, I'm an emergency department physician.

01:16:45.000 Let me help you. 1.00

01:16:46.000 Shout out to this fucking guy. 1.00

01:16:48.000 The guy had spun around, was jammed between the benches. 1.00

01:16:51.000 He had a headshot here.

01:16:52.000 There was lots of blood and he had brain matter.

01:16:56.000 So I got him There's a helicopter coming in to get him.

01:17:03.000 So I got people there really helpful.

01:17:06.000 Was there only one person shot that you saw?

01:17:08.000 Then I did CPR, did chest compressions as well as a brief form.

01:17:13.000 Yeah, so not much you could do there.

01:17:17.000 He's probably gone by the time he got there, unfortunately.

01:17:20.000 Apparently, there's going to be a Secret Service press conference, guys, so we can go ahead and react to that together.

01:17:25.000 And this is the footage right here.

01:17:27.000 Literally, they had seconds to respond to that.

01:17:30.000 Let's go ahead.

01:17:31.000 Let's see.

01:17:32.000 Go back to YouTube here.

01:17:39.000 That is historically what we see.

01:17:41.000 ...about the motivation saying that the way that he has built up the stakes for democracy has put this, literally there's some saying that he has blood on his hands.

01:17:51.000 Again, that's an irresponsible statement based on what we know right now.

01:17:53.000 There's no evidence to support that.

01:17:55.000 But the rhetoric that led up to this moment in some ways or that make this moment so obviously a sad and horrific one for the nation is not ending with this incident pretty clearly.

01:18:08.000 And I think in some ways we can see it boil over even more in the days ahead here in Milwaukee.

01:18:13.000 Exactly.

01:18:13.000 And that's the concern from authorities that you can throw fuel on the...

01:18:17.000 We've got 14,000 of y'all watching right now plus and we've got a bunch of other of you guys watching on X-Man.

01:18:21.000 So shout out to all you guys.

01:18:22.000 Thank you guys so much for being here.

01:18:23.000 You're here with me.

01:18:25.000 We're going to do a breakdown on this shooting.

01:18:27.000 As you guys know, right, this is obviously crazy.

01:18:30.000 I've done Secret Service details before. 0.99

01:18:31.000 This is unprecedented shit that we're seeing. 0.99

01:18:34.000 yeah. 0.99

01:18:35.000 Do me a favor, guys.

01:18:35.000 Like the video on YouTube.

01:18:36.000 Like it on Rumble as well.

01:18:37.000 We're live on RumbleX.

01:18:38.000 All the platforms.

01:18:39.000 Rumble Locals. 0.98

01:18:40.000 Well, Rumble, Castle Club, and YouTube.

01:18:42.000 We're live.

01:18:43.000 So, like the video, guys.

01:18:45.000 Let's get ourselves back up in the algorithm like that.

01:18:47.000 And let's go.

01:18:48.000 The fire and only fan the flames with some of the language that's being used.

01:18:53.000 And that's something that they're monitoring very closely.

01:18:55.000 Rick Klein, thank you so much.

01:18:57.000 From Milwaukee, we also have on the phone with us Reince Priebus, former RNC chair, former chief of staff early on in the Trump administration.

01:19:06.000 Reince, you're there in Milwaukee.

01:19:08.000 What's the mood right now among Republicans?

01:19:11.000 Well, I'm also chair of the Milwaukee Host Committee, which raises the money, and I lead the community group here that helps put on the convention.

01:19:22.000 Obviously, people are stunned and saddened.

01:19:27.000 It's horrific and dreadful and all the other emotions that everyone has, which is a whirlwind of...

01:19:40.000 Concern.

01:19:41.000 But I will say that right now things are moving forward as planned.

01:19:48.000 And, you know, just being a person that's been around President Trump a lot, and I still am, I would suspect that, you know, the president's going to be Even stronger moving forward in both attitude and probably tone.

01:20:08.000 And so I don't expect right now anything to change moving forward.

01:20:13.000 I want to follow up on that because obviously people have been thinking about the former president and we know that he is doing fine.

01:20:21.000 He suffered that minor injury to his right ear.

01:20:24.000 And he says what he believed was a bullet that whizzed by.

01:20:28.000 Somebody died today.

01:20:30.000 At least one person.

01:20:32.000 An innocent bystander who was just there for this political event.

01:20:36.000 And it's a reminder that you can't protect Every location, 100% all the way.

01:20:44.000 And, you know, law enforcement often talks about soft targets and large crowds and gatherings.

01:20:49.000 And it's one thing to say that the convention itself will be safe.

01:20:54.000 But, Reince, I guess my question is to you, like, how can you guarantee the safety and protection of the other people who are there participating, engaging in some of the other events around the convention?

01:21:05.000 Well, that's a good point.

01:21:07.000 And obviously everyone involved is doubling and tripling down on conversations and reviews.

01:21:17.000 I speak with the mayor tonight, folks at the RNC, and others that everything is as safe as humanly possible.

01:21:30.000 But, you know, we have to do everything we can to make that happen.

01:21:35.000 And we have to decide, I guess, as...

01:21:38.000 Sorry about that, guys.

01:22:07.000 You guys can hear me now?

01:22:07.000 My bad, my bad, my bad.

01:22:09.000 I said, what I said was, I haven't taken out, my takes have been good on this whole thing.

01:22:15.000 I'm back, I'm back, guys, I'm back.

01:22:17.000 You guys should be able to hear me now.

01:22:18.000 So, give me one in the chat if you guys are good.

01:22:21.000 Alright.

01:22:22.000 So, sorry about that.

01:22:23.000 I said I haven't been taking L's all night when it comes to my takes on this stuff, right?

01:22:26.000 I told you guys that Secret Service is in dire need of agents.

01:22:30.000 They've had problems for a minute now with being able to keep their people.

01:22:34.000 And you can see here that they got this special agent achievement recruitment program. 0.99

01:22:38.000 And that tells you right there, guys, what I've been trying to tell y'all, that they can't keep agents, guys, because once people become Secret Service, they realize this job fucking sucks and they leave.

01:22:46.000 It is not easy to be a Secret Service agent, guys. 0.90

01:22:48.000 I'll tell you guys this.

01:22:49.000 I was...

01:22:49.000 You know, I did a secret service detail for the better part of like two weeks.

01:22:52.000 It was miserable.

01:22:54.000 I was protecting the president of Congo, if I'm not mistaken. 0.98

01:22:57.000 And, dude, I was sitting in front of a fucking door to his, what's it called, to his hotel for like 10 hours, just sitting there, just in my suit like this. 0.96

01:23:08.000 Right? 1.00

01:23:09.000 And it just sucks, bro. 0.97

01:23:10.000 And it's very difficult for the Secret Service to maintain agents. 0.97

01:23:13.000 So I'm not surprised that... 0.99

01:23:15.000 Fuck, I gotta figure... 0.99

01:23:17.000 I'll remember which president it was, guys. 1.00

01:23:19.000 I forget what fucking country it was. 1.00

01:23:20.000 It was some African country. 0.99

01:23:21.000 But either ways, the point I'm trying to make is like, look, you can see on their website that they're recruiting.

01:23:25.000 This is not common, by the way, guys, for them to be actively recruiting agents fresh out of college.

01:23:30.000 It is very difficult to get an 1811 position, right?

01:23:33.000 And I'll show you guys what I mean by this.

01:23:35.000 You go special agent, right?

01:23:37.000 Boom.

01:23:40.000 Right?

01:23:40.000 Now, let's go Wiki, right?

01:23:44.000 It's very hard to get these jobs, right?

01:23:48.000 They hire like less than 1% of qualified applicants a lot of the times.

01:23:55.000 Is it here?

01:24:01.000 Yeah. 0.82

01:24:03.000 about how fucking hard it is to get one of these jobs? 0.96

01:24:05.000 It doesn't say. 0.96

01:24:14.000 But, I'll tell you guys this.

01:24:16.000 It's very difficult to get a special agent job, right?

01:24:19.000 Oh, FBI's talking live right now?

01:24:21.000 Where are they talking?

01:24:22.000 Where are they talking?

01:24:23.000 Someone's pointing this in the chat?

01:24:25.000 So, yeah, it goes back to what I was telling you guys, that they've been suffering attrition.

01:24:29.000 Oh, here we go.

01:24:30.000 Press conference.

01:24:31.000 And we're just watching this right now.

01:24:33.000 We understand law enforcement getting set up. 0.99

01:24:36.000 Here we fucking go. 0.98

01:24:36.000 Let's go, guys. 0.98

01:24:37.000 Let's go.

01:24:37.000 All right.

01:24:40.000 Yeah, this guy's FBI. I can tell from the thing here.

01:24:42.000 So, my name is Kevin Rojek.

01:24:44.000 Yep.

01:24:45.000 Special Agent Trust, probably.

01:24:46.000 That's R-O-J-E-K. I'm the special agent in charge of the FBI Pittsburgh field office.

01:24:50.000 Oh, fucking miss, guys! 0.98

01:24:52.000 The first thing I want to say... 0.99

01:24:54.000 It's that the FBI stands with the people of Butler County in western Pennsylvania and our hearts go out to the victims of this heinous act which occurred today.

01:25:06.000 This is our community and I want to let the public know that the FBI has deployed a number of our resources including investigative agents, our evidence response team, bomb technicians, And we have additional resources coming from other field offices, as well as from FBI headquarters, including our evidence response from Quantico, Virginia.

01:25:38.000 We have intelligence analysts as well working from our field office in Pittsburgh working feverously to attempt to identify the individual who did this and the motives behind why this was done.

01:25:50.000 That's what they're figuring out is the motives.

01:25:52.000 Right now we need the public's help.

01:25:54.000 Anyone who was on scene who saw anything, who identified any information, please report that to the FBI using either the phone number 1-800-CALL-FBI Or online at FBI.gov slash Butler.

01:26:14.000 This evening we had what we're calling an assassination attempt against our former president, Donald Trump.

01:26:23.000 It's still an active crime scene.

01:26:25.000 As I mentioned, we have a number of agents on scene.

01:26:27.000 We also are working closely with other federal agencies, our state partners, and our local police partners as well.

01:26:37.000 Again, at this time, we are not prepared to identify who the shooter is.

01:26:42.000 Yeah.

01:26:43.000 Told y'all!

01:26:43.000 We are close to that identification.

01:26:45.000 And as soon as we are 100% confident in who that individual is, we will share it with the press.

01:26:51.000 Oh, you know who it is, bro.

01:26:52.000 Come on.

01:26:52.000 Y'all know who it is.

01:26:53.000 With that being said, also, we do not currently have an identified motive, although our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was.

01:27:05.000 And that's why they don't want to tell you guys who he is yet.

01:27:07.000 They're trying to identify the motive first.

01:27:09.000 At this time, I'm going to turn over the podium to Colonel Chris Parris from the Pennsylvania State Police.

01:27:16.000 So they know who he is.

01:27:17.000 I'm telling y'all right now, they don't want to tell you who he is yet because they don't know who he is.

01:27:19.000 Thank you very much.

01:27:20.000 My name is Colonel Chris Paris.

01:27:21.000 And they're doing search warrants.

01:27:23.000 Commissioner of Pennsylvania State Police.

01:27:25.000 I would just like to say that the state police have been in regular contact with the governor's office and the full support and assets of the entire agency are behind the FBI and our other federal and municipal partners to assist with this investigation.

01:27:43.000 The thoughts and prayers of the Pennsylvania State Police are likewise with the victims of this terrible act.

01:27:50.000 We are prepared to support this investigation in any way, shape or form, and we stand ready to participate in a full, fair and competent and thorough investigation.

01:28:01.000 To give you an operational rundown, Deputy Commissioner of Operations Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens is behind me and he will discuss the operational portion that's being conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police.

01:28:13.000 Lieutenant Colonel Bivens.

01:28:17.000 Good evening.

01:28:18.000 So let me describe for you a little bit about the scene that we have over there.

01:28:23.000 As you know, there was a grandstand, a very large area, a lot of people there when this all unfolded.

01:28:30.000 The former president had come out and begun to speak shortly after 6 o'clock this evening, and within about 10 to 15 minutes, a number of sounds were heard, and it became apparent that shots were being fired It was a chaotic scene.

01:28:49.000 Law enforcement, I believe, acted heroically, quickly identifying and neutralizing the threat, as well as responding to assist the various victims.

01:29:03.000 PSP had a significant presence on the scene along with all of our federal partners at the time of the shooting.

01:29:10.000 We have since enhanced that presence significantly bringing in resources from all over the Commonwealth to ensure that we have a speedy, thorough investigation.

01:29:20.000 We are working very closely with the FBI as we work through this.

01:29:26.000 As you can imagine, Because of the variety of crimes that have been committed, some are under federal jurisdiction, some are under state jurisdiction.

01:29:37.000 And so we're working through all of that.

01:29:39.000 Not an issue at all.

01:29:40.000 We work seamlessly.

01:29:42.000 But the FBI has maintained the lead on the attempted assassination.

01:29:47.000 PSP will take the lead on the homicide and the shootings of the other individuals in the grandstand area.

01:29:59.000 And so there are a lot of witnesses to be interviewed.

01:30:02.000 A lot of things to be processed.

01:30:04.000 There were some complicators that hopefully the next time we speak we can describe for you, but some complicators that slowed down some of the processing and the positive identification of the shooter.

01:30:19.000 But know that at this time we have no reason to believe that there is any other existing threat out there.

01:30:27.000 We're doing everything we can to make sure that this is thoroughly investigated and that if there is any information developed that anyone else was involved that between PSP and the FBI that will very quickly be followed up on.

01:30:43.000 So I think at this time we would open it up to questions from all of you.

01:30:47.000 Was this the lone wolf attack?

01:30:49.000 I knew someone was going to ask that, lone wolf.

01:30:51.000 Again, I think it's too early to say that.

01:30:53.000 We have one shooter tentatively identified, but we're not stopping there.

01:31:02.000 We're following up on a lot of information.

01:31:04.000 it will be some time until we can conclusively say or answer that question I think Again, that will all be part of the investigation, but I can tell you that preliminarily it appears everything unfolded very quickly.

01:31:34.000 So, you know, again, we'll have more information on that, but it's just too early to start definitively saying this happened at this exact time.

01:31:45.000 That's correct.

01:31:50.000 We'll have that information for you.

01:31:52.000 It was some distance outside of the Supreme Court.

01:31:53.000 Colonel, can you comment on reports that there were people who saw someone on the roof and tried to alert at the race?

01:32:00.000 We're following up on those.

01:32:02.000 I will tell you that I am aware of those and I am aware that law enforcement had responded to a number of reports of suspicious activity.

01:32:11.000 The specific response to this will be all part of the after action.

01:32:15.000 But yes, law enforcement was responding to check on several suspicious occurrences.

01:32:21.000 What were the other suspicious occurrences?

01:32:22.000 That'll all be part of the investigation.

01:32:26.000 Oh, hold on.

01:32:28.000 What happened?

01:32:28.000 I think I'd like to.

01:32:30.000 Should be getting feedback.

01:32:32.000 Okay, we're back.

01:32:33.000 Is there anything else?

01:32:36.000 Did he have any affiliation with that company you know?

01:32:39.000 So again, we're not prepared at this time to provide the identity.

01:32:44.000 Oh, looks like we might know who he is.

01:32:46.000 Okay.

01:32:48.000 Matthew Crooks is what I'm seeing, guys.

01:32:53.000 Forgive us here.

01:32:54.000 We are having a couple hits to the signal here with this press conference that's happening right now in Pennsylvania.

01:33:00.000 Let's see if it comes back.

01:33:02.000 If it doesn't, we'll continue here.

01:33:04.000 Or as we wait for it, I can give you some of the headlines from what law enforcement officers were talking about.

01:33:10.000 Matthew Crooks is the shooter, guys.

01:33:11.000 This is a multi-agency effort. 0.99

01:33:12.000 Matthew fucking Crooks. 0.99

01:33:13.000 Here he comes back. 0.99

01:33:14.000 The FBI, which is leading the investigation, and the Pennsylvania State Police.

01:33:20.000 And they said that because of the different layers, they said at this time there are a variety of different crimes, some under federal jurisdiction, some under state jurisdiction, but they will be working together.

01:33:31.000 They also said at this time they're not prepared to identify the shooter.

01:33:36.000 They're close to identification.

01:33:37.000 We know who he is.

01:33:38.000 They want to make sure they're 100% confident in who that person is before they share it.

01:33:43.000 This is key.

01:33:44.000 They also said there is no reason to believe that there is any other existing threat out there.

01:33:50.000 Now, they wouldn't say specifically if they thought this was the act of a lone wolf.

01:33:54.000 Hold on, give me one sec, guys.

01:33:55.000 I'm going to get some more info on this guy real quick.

01:33:57.000 But at this point, this is significant, especially for the area.

01:34:00.000 No reason to believe that there's any other existing threat out there.

01:34:03.000 Now, one part of the question and answer I thought was interesting.

01:34:06.000 There were reports that police confirmed of someone on a rooftop.

01:34:12.000 And so let's go ahead and listen in to the presser.

01:34:15.000 So I think the credit goes to not only the Secret Service who was on site, but also the state and local partners who were there on site and were able to react immediately when the incident occurred.

01:34:28.000 Do you know how many officers fired their weapons?

01:34:30.000 I do not.

01:34:31.000 I understand that it's very early and there's still going to be a lot of questions, but I mean...

01:34:38.000 At this point, we're not going to make that assessment.

01:34:41.000 There's an active investigation.

01:34:43.000 A lot of things need to occur investigatively to make those determinations of what, if any, failures there were.

01:34:52.000 So really, we can't comment on that at this time.

01:34:54.000 So you can say if Secret Service had checked those buildings or were keeping a close eye?

01:34:59.000 Alright, looks like we're back.

01:35:00.000 We really have to defer to Secret Service for those questions?

01:35:03.000 Was there any law enforcement to ask the AGR property prior to the event?

01:35:06.000 Were there police at that location at any point or in the event?

01:35:10.000 Are you saying the location where the shooter was located?

01:35:13.000 Yes.

01:35:13.000 I don't have any information on that.

01:35:15.000 The doctor referred to Secret Service.

01:35:18.000 When do you think you will release, when will the name of the shooter be released?

01:35:22.000 I mean, any inkling of when that might happen?

01:35:25.000 Tomorrow?

01:35:26.000 So that'll be, as soon as we've confirmed 100%, we're willing to release that.

01:35:31.000 So if we have, you know, as far as the contact information for the press, Well, we should be able to do that.

01:35:36.000 You guys are in here first.

01:35:38.000 I'm Matthew Crooks.

01:35:38.000 You've also heard a possible related scene in Bethel Park.

01:35:45.000 Is there anything you can tell us tonight about other areas where law enforcement may be searching in relation to this event?

01:35:51.000 Again, right now we're tracking down all leads and doing all interviews and tracking anything that we can regarding suspicious locations, vehicles, locations, interviewing individuals.

01:36:02.000 So it's all related to this event, but I can't confirm or deny anything that's going on.

01:36:12.000 Oh, did it go down?

01:36:17.000 We're still listening to a press conference, guys.

01:36:20.000 But here he is, Matthew Crooks.

01:36:22.000 Thomas Matthew Crooks.

01:36:28.000 And this is just breaking news, guys.

01:36:30.000 You guys heard it here first.

01:36:31.000 Viewers there, just again, we've had some issues with the signal here at the press conference.

01:36:35.000 It is ongoing.

01:36:36.000 Let's see if we can listen in.

01:36:37.000 His Instagram was taken out.

01:36:38.000 Someone said his IG is down.

01:36:39.000 There are bombs somewhere in Butler County.

01:36:42.000 Can you just walk us through that?

01:36:43.000 It's a primarily standard procedure of any suspicious packages.

01:36:47.000 In this case, there was identification of suspicious packages around where the shooter was.

01:36:53.000 And so we deployed in an abundance of caution Bomb assets to make sure that those were cleared for investigators to move safely in the area.

01:37:04.000 We're still working on, it's still an active crime scene, so I'm not going to say that the scene is 100% clear at this time.

01:37:10.000 Why aren't a Secret Service agent here right now for the press conference?

01:37:15.000 So Secret Service wasn't available for the press conference at this time.

01:37:19.000 100% of the packages that you're talking about.

01:37:21.000 You're talking about packages.

01:37:22.000 What is suspicious packages that you're here to hear?

01:37:25.000 Really anything, I don't have specifics on what they were looking at, but you know there's people in the crowd will leave badges, they're fleeing the scene like this, so any suspicious packages we have to treat as it may be an explosive device.

01:37:41.000 And how quickly did everybody jump in and who ended up taking them out?

01:37:54.000 So it was immediate.

01:37:56.000 And it was.

01:37:58.000 We're still trying to figure that out.

01:38:00.000 So we'll wait till we have more definitive information regarding that investigatively.

01:38:05.000 What about the person in the crowd?

01:38:08.000 Do you have any information about how they were and how they were filled?

01:38:13.000 My understanding was it was from the shooter.

01:38:17.000 But again, those will be details that are released later.

01:38:20.000 Do you search homes or apartments as a part of your method of identifying the individual?

01:38:25.000 So if that's where the leads take us, absolutely.

01:38:28.000 Was Donald Trump hit with a bullet?

01:38:31.000 Do you know for sure?

01:38:32.000 Or was it potentially something else that could?

01:38:34.000 I don't have that specific information as far as the injuries to the former president.

01:38:39.000 I understand you're not releasing the suspect's identification right now, but as you know, is this person knowing to you guys to see somebody that you guys have been looking at through the threats he's possibly been online, et cetera, et cetera?

01:38:50.000 Again, the information that we currently have, we're looking at that obviously very intently.

01:38:56.000 And as we know that information, we'll release that as well.

01:38:59.000 So we'll need to plan another time for a follow-up press conference.

01:39:06.000 We're looking at all investigative leads and everything from, and that's why we ask the public, because I'm sure there'll be cell phone video, there'll be all kinds of information that we'll use to fully flesh out exactly what happened here.

01:39:21.000 I think you're saying you can't say what type of gun it is, but do you know how many shots were fired?

01:39:26.000 I don't.

01:39:28.000 I don't have that information as far as, that'll come out in the investigation as well.

01:39:33.000 Is there an identification tonight on the other victims?

01:39:36.000 As far as the civilians?

01:39:39.000 Yeah.

01:39:44.000 So we do have identification on those.

01:39:46.000 We're not prepared to release it at this time.

01:39:48.000 We have notified a number of family members, but they have not had an opportunity to notify extended family and things.

01:39:56.000 I would confirm for you that we did have one individual killed, and I know I heard somebody say about two victims.

01:40:02.000 There were three in total besides the former president.

01:40:04.000 So two critically wounded, one killed.

01:40:08.000 At this point, do you know they were sitting near each other and where in relation to the former president?

01:40:13.000 I don't have their exact seating by individual.

01:40:17.000 Again, that will all be part of the investigation, but their shots were scattered somewhat, and so they weren't just into one particular location.

01:40:27.000 You're saying just one fatality as of right now?

01:40:30.000 Yes.

01:40:31.000 The shooter and one fatality.

01:40:33.000 The shooter plus one fatality.

01:40:36.000 So there was one victim of the shooter who was killed and then the shooter was killed.

01:40:42.000 Yes, ma'am.

01:40:45.000 When did they say they saw a semi-automatic rifle used by the shooter?

01:40:50.000 Can you share any of what you tell them that that's what you believe?

01:40:53.000 I've heard those reports as well, And again, we do have a good idea of what the weapon was.

01:41:00.000 But again, that's all part of the ongoing investigation.

01:41:04.000 And I'm not trying to be cagey about that.

01:41:07.000 You know, when the SAC talked about the need to be very methodical and to be cautious with that scene, We are doing just that.

01:41:17.000 We don't want anybody else getting hurt and candidly there are some concerns that we'll be able to talk more about later on about just what those concerns are and continue to be.

01:41:32.000 That's all part of the investigation.

01:41:34.000 There are a lot of really angry people.

01:41:37.000 Are you monitoring if there have been any threats in response to this?

01:41:41.000 Are you worried if there have been any specific threats?

01:41:43.000 That's certainly a concern, and we're monitoring that whole situation.

01:41:47.000 I mentioned that we're bringing a lot of assets to bear, and so like the FBI utilizing their analysts, we also have the Pennsylvania Criminal Intelligence Center.

01:41:55.000 We will utilize the resources of our Intelligence Division and the Criminal Intelligence Center to be able to monitor for concerns about any threats, regardless of the side of the issue or the political spectrum.

01:42:09.000 We want to make sure that we try and avoid any further violence.

01:42:13.000 But no, nothing specific so far?

01:42:14.000 No, sir.

01:42:15.000 Without identifying them by name, can you say anything about the other folks who were injured or killed?

01:42:21.000 Were they adults, men, male, female, anything else?

01:42:25.000 They were adults, and they're male.

01:42:31.000 I'll agree.

01:42:32.000 Yes.

01:42:33.000 How difficult for the day is this for your department, though?

01:42:35.000 Are all your partners going to talk to these family members, including the civilians who have come down while they just went to a rally and trying to celebrate, I guess, the upcoming election?

01:42:43.000 What are these conversations like, and how do you kind of get through that?

01:42:46.000 We have trained investigators, and we're partnered hand-in-hand with the FBI, again, because we've got some federal violations.

01:42:53.000 Some state violations, and so our investigators are going out methodically.

01:42:56.000 We have a large team of investigators that are going out dividing up these interviews and trying to conduct them as quickly as possible, and then there will be follow-ups.

01:43:06.000 You know, with the FBI asking for people to call in tips, I have no doubt that we will receive a lot of additional information that will also require follow-up.

01:43:16.000 But again, we're working very well together, and it's only a short matter of time until we get through all of those interviews.

01:43:22.000 How close was it for President Trump?

01:43:28.000 There were no police hit with bullets.

01:43:31.000 From your experience, how close a call was it for President Trump?

01:43:34.000 I'm not going to speculate or comment on that.

01:43:39.000 And as we're listening to this press conference in Pennsylvania, you're looking at a live picture right now.

01:43:45.000 This is the plane of former President Donald Trump flying into Newark.

01:43:50.000 We understand that the president is going to regroup with family, with advisers.

01:43:56.000 In New Jersey as they get ready for what is still set to go forward with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee starting on Monday.

01:44:06.000 So quite a day for the former president.

01:44:08.000 What law enforcement again are describing as an attempted assassination on Donald Trump today.

01:44:14.000 Trump himself saying that a bullet whizzed past his ear, his right ear, and actually clipped part of it.

01:44:20.000 He was injured slightly, taken to a hospital for medical treatment, but has since been released, left the area, and that the image of former President Trump's plane landing in New Jersey right now.

01:44:32.000 Once again, this press conference is playing out in Pennsylvania.

01:44:36.000 We're getting a few more details of what they're looking at.

01:44:39.000 I believe they're still wrapping up right now.

01:44:41.000 Let's go ahead and listen in.

01:44:44.000 It's my understanding that was outside of the perimeter.

01:44:48.000 I don't know why they're not announcing who the shooter is.

01:44:50.000 It's out now.

01:44:50.000 New York Post broke it.

01:44:52.000 It's out.

01:44:52.000 We know who he is.

01:44:53.000 Thomas Matthew Cox, guys, is the shooter.

01:44:58.000 Not that I'm aware of.

01:45:01.000 If Trump had been the nominee already, would he have had additional security for this event?

01:45:06.000 There again, Secret Service has the lead, and I'm not going to comment or speculate on what may or may not be provided at any given point, depending on their status as a candidate.

01:45:18.000 What I will tell you is that, in my experience, Secret Service does an excellent job of maintaining security on protectees.

01:45:25.000 We'll read this after.

01:45:27.000 They don't hesitate to ask for resources and, candidly, we don't hesitate to supply those resources.

01:45:32.000 Deputy Colonel, you're asking for the public's help.

01:45:35.000 Can you elaborate and be more specific about what you would really like to see from the public?

01:45:40.000 If it's videos, photos, personal accounts?

01:45:44.000 I think the videos and photos would be very helpful.

01:45:49.000 And I think that once the shooter is identified, anyone that has specific information on that shooter, that would be very helpful as well to help us assess motive.

01:46:00.000 And again, as I mentioned earlier, we are absolutely not taking for granted that this was a lone wolf attack.

01:46:07.000 And so we would be looking for any additional information that might point us toward anybody else that may have had a hand in this.

01:46:14.000 Sir, at this point, what is the main focus of the investigation?

01:46:18.000 What's the most important thing for you right now in a few hours?

01:46:21.000 Well, there's not any one single focus.

01:46:24.000 I mean, certainly the immediate focus was life safety, getting the former president out of there and to care, getting care to the other victims and trying to secure the scene as quickly as possible.

01:46:37.000 It shifted then from a life safety situation We're just beginning the political season.

01:46:57.000 Are you guys concerned with all of these rallies that happened and how they're set up?

01:47:05.000 Maybe the venues?

01:47:07.000 Again, I would refer you to the Secret Service in terms of what they work out with the campaigns.

01:47:12.000 We will continue to supply resources, as I'm sure the FBI will, and local partners as well.

01:47:21.000 And again, you're listening to this press conference with law enforcement in Pennsylvania, the state police and the FBI speaking.

01:47:27.000 But the image to the right of your screen is President Biden stepping off of Air Force One, arriving at Andrews Air Force Base.

01:47:36.000 At Andrews, this was just moments ago.

01:47:39.000 We know that President Biden ended his trip.

01:47:42.000 He was in Rehoboth, Delaware for the weekend.

01:47:44.000 He ended his trip early to come back to Washington as all of this started playing out.

01:47:53.000 I was just listening to see if we're going to go ahead and we're going to leave this press conference right now and go to Mary Bruce, our Chief White House Correspondent.

01:48:01.000 Mary, a couple things that I just wanted to point out before we come to you as we're getting all of this information here.

01:48:07.000 Once again, law enforcement saying that they are calling this an attempted assassination of former President Trump.

01:48:14.000 I remember earlier tonight when President Biden was asked that question, he wasn't ready to go and confirm that, but now we're officially hearing it from officials.

01:48:23.000 And once again, before I come to you, forgive me.

01:48:25.000 I just want to point out, too, that they mentioned that one victim was killed, two critically wounded.

01:48:33.000 Also, guys, breaking while he reports that.

01:48:35.000 So New York Post is reporting right now, guys, that...

01:48:39.000 FBI is yet to identify motive behind gunman Thomas Matthew Crook's attempted assassination of Trump during PA rally.

01:48:45.000 And this is a big reason why they didn't want the name to get out, but obviously got leaked somehow.

01:48:49.000 The FBI has not identified the motive.

01:48:53.000 And yeah, that's it.

01:48:54.000 That's all they got.

01:48:59.000 That's all they got right now.

01:49:01.000 This is developing, guys, quickly.

01:49:02.000 I didn't think they would get him identified this quickly.

01:49:04.000 Or I didn't think it would break that quickly that the news would get it.

01:49:07.000 Natural to assume here.

01:49:08.000 And the president, of course, has also been briefed on all of this.

01:49:11.000 And as you noted, he did say earlier today that he had an opinion when asked.

01:49:15.000 This was an assassination attempt at the time.

01:49:17.000 He noted that he didn't have enough of the facts.

01:49:18.000 You guys are saying TMZ. I googled TMZ already.

01:49:20.000 I'll look.

01:49:21.000 Let me look.

01:49:21.000 We've been able to ascertain that, yes, this was, in fact, an assassination attempt.

01:49:25.000 The president, as you noted, is now back in Washington.

01:49:28.000 He'll be back here at the White House shortly.

01:49:30.000 His motorcade now making its way from Andrews Air Force Base.

01:49:32.000 All right, we got something here on TMZ. Let's see.

01:49:35.000 Okay.

01:49:35.000 It's on the front page.

01:49:39.000 Get out of here! 0.99

01:49:40.000 Get behind the tree!

01:49:41.000 He's going!

01:49:42.000 Rock! Get out of here! Rock! Rock! Get out of here! Rock! Rock! Get over here!

01:49:52.000 Whoever ran this video is an idiot. 1.00

01:49:53.000 Couldn't even record it properly. 1.00

01:49:55.000 I hope he's turning this way.

01:49:57.000 Be careful, guys. 1.00

01:50:01.000 They shot his ass. 1.00

01:50:03.000 There he is dead. 1.00

01:50:04.000 He had to blur it out.

01:50:08.000 Someone said this is fake.

01:50:20.000 Bro, this isn't fake. 1.00

01:50:25.000 Dude, that's exactly why we need fucking Trump here. 1.00

01:50:34.000 Holy shit. 1.00

01:50:40.000 Yeah, they're undercover. - Where's that one? 0.99

01:50:48.000 Hang on.

01:50:49.000 Yeah, El Cameraman, bro.

01:50:51.000 So you can see, there he is right there in the prone position.

01:50:55.000 We're obviously trying to squeeze off a shot beforehand.

01:50:59.000 There he is.

01:51:00.000 Seconds before he got shot.

01:51:05.000 Boom.

01:51:06.000 There you can see.

01:51:09.000 There he is.

01:51:10.000 Packaging...

01:51:14.000 Let's see here.

01:51:22.000 Yeah, they probably got a bag for selling this over to TMZ, man.

01:51:26.000 They sold this footage to TMZ. They probably got a couple, they got like 100K probably for this shit. 1.00

01:51:31.000 The guy's longer brown hair and he seems to be wearing a gray shirt, khaki pants. 0.99

01:51:34.000 We saw that before.

01:51:35.000 As you can see, he's carefully trying to pinpoint a target from afar before pulling the trigger.

01:51:38.000 Yeah, there he is right there.

01:51:42.000 And they train you to shoot this way, by the way, guys, to be the most accurate.

01:51:52.000 And then this is Trump obviously on the receiving end of this.

01:51:55.000 If you want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened.

01:51:59.000 Boom. 0.99

01:52:00.000 So first shot pops off, everyone's like, oh shit, even Trump stops. 0.99

01:52:03.000 And then he can hear that first shot nicks him in the ear, right? 0.99

01:52:08.000 That's why he grabs him. 1.00

01:52:09.000 and you can see his face like kind of like because he could feel the burn now at this point of course idiots gotta scream Do that one more time. 0.99

01:52:39.000 Really see something that said, take a look at what happened. 1.00

01:52:43.000 Boom.

01:52:43.000 One shot.

01:52:45.000 Two shots. 0.73

01:52:47.000 So the first shot hits him.

01:52:48.000 Knicks his ear.

01:52:51.000 You can see here, he grabs himself.

01:52:53.000 If you want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened.

01:53:06.000 Okay, so that's the shooter.

01:53:07.000 That's the first shot.

01:53:09.000 Yeah, chat's saying 2-2-3.

01:53:10.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:53:11.000 It probably is 2-2-3.

01:53:12.000 Right?

01:53:13.000 So that's your boy Crooks.

01:53:17.000 That's the second shot, I think.

01:53:23.000 And I think that's the retaliatory fire right there.

01:53:26.000 So, let's play back one more time.

01:53:28.000 You want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened.

01:53:32.000 Boom! 0.99

01:53:33.000 That's the first.

01:53:34.000 Hits Trump.

01:53:36.000 Second.

01:53:37.000 Third.

01:53:42.000 And then those shots are the shots back at the bad guy, at Crooks.

01:53:46.000 So we heard, I think three shots go off.

01:53:55.000 And then you hear that fire, that retaliatory fire, which I think was the secret service sniper shooting back.

01:54:07.000 Alright, let's go back to the KBC. This is in Pennsylvania.

01:54:12.000 It was a joint presser, the Pennsylvania State Police, also the FBI, talking about the teamwork that they'll be seeing law enforcement start the process of carrying out this investigation, just the beginning stages.

01:54:25.000 Mary Bruce, thank you.

01:54:30.000 We just lost the signal to the presser, but just a couple of other things that I just wanted to highlight because some things that we hadn't heard before.

01:54:37.000 They did say that there were a number of reports that they heard from people and the state police did confirm that they heard that people were trying to report suspicious activity prior to those shots being fired and that there were reports of someone on a rooftop somewhere.

01:54:52.000 Now, state police couldn't elaborate on exactly what those reports were, but they did say that that was something that they were looking into with this investigation.

01:55:01.000 Let's go ahead and listen back to that presser in progress.

01:55:08.000 In their defense, what I would want to say is it is incredibly difficult to have a venue open to the public and to secure that against any possible threat, against a very determined attacker.

01:55:21.000 That's a huge lift to try and do it.

01:55:26.000 The investigation will really give us an opportunity to take a look at where any failures occurred and what can be done better in the future.

01:55:36.000 Lieutenant Colonel Vickens, do you know when another briefing might be held?

01:55:42.000 We don't have one scheduled, but I would tell you we will let you know and give you plenty of notice.

01:55:50.000 Certainly as soon as additional things develop, that would be noteworthy or of interest to you.

01:55:56.000 we'll get that scheduled and have another with you.

01:55:59.000 Locally, what can residents' businesses expect to happen with the investigation over the next couple of days?

01:56:04.000 What's going to be going on there?

01:56:06.000 Again, the interviews will all be occurring, and so they may see law enforcement in their communities.

01:56:11.000 People came from a wide area to come to this rally, I'm told.

01:56:15.000 So there's going to be law enforcement fanning out, and as additional calls, photos, videos come in, those additional interviews will result in law enforcement being out in the community conducting those interviews.

01:56:30.000 But otherwise, they really shouldn't see any other significant impact in the community.

01:56:34.000 Can you confirm whether it's a male or female, the homicide, the bystander who died?

01:56:40.000 That's a male.

01:56:41.000 A male?

01:56:42.000 Yes.

01:56:45.000 I'm from a European outlet from Poland, and I'm already getting text messages from, you know, back home.

01:56:52.000 And people are asking, how could this happen?

01:56:55.000 What's going on in America?

01:56:56.000 I know that is a philosophical question, but how could you talk to the people outside the United States about what happened here in Poland?

01:57:04.000 Well, again, what I would say is this is a tragic incident that occurred.

01:57:10.000 We're not in a position to start second-guessing how or why or anything else at this point.

01:57:16.000 Just know that it will be thoroughly investigated.

01:57:18.000 If there is anyone to prosecute, that will be done and we'll move forward.

01:57:24.000 But I don't have a good answer for you.

01:57:27.000 We'll just take one last question.

01:57:28.000 I know that PSP said that you guys were not aware of any additional requests from the Trump team for security.

01:57:36.000 What about the FBI? Was there an additional request for additional security from the Trump team, and was that denied in any way, shape, or form?

01:57:46.000 No.

01:57:47.000 No, there was no additional request for security that was ever denied by the FBI. What does the FBI do in these events?

01:57:54.000 Like, what is your rule?

01:57:55.000 So we are, we showed up after the fact.

01:57:58.000 We were monitoring the event, but it was once the incident occurred that we come and we take the primary jurisdiction for the investigation.

01:58:08.000 Thank you.

01:58:10.000 As we have additional information, we'll provide it.

01:58:12.000 Thank you.

01:58:13.000 Thank you.

01:58:14.000 And once again, law enforcement wrapping up this press conference.

01:58:17.000 This is in Pennsylvania.

01:58:19.000 It was a joint presser.

01:58:21.000 It's been easy, Whit, because authorities say the shooter was carrying no identification on his person, so they've had to use DNA technology to identify him that way.

01:58:33.000 That may be what's giving the The FBI some pause in formally releasing the name so they can do that biometric identification.

01:58:43.000 So that also tells you that perhaps this person didn't want to be identified.

01:58:50.000 And what that means as far as motive, we're not sure.

01:58:54.000 The authorities have not yet identified one.

01:58:56.000 Thomas Matthew Crooks.

01:59:01.000 Chat.

01:59:06.000 nearby in western Pennsylvania at locations that may be associated with this young man.

01:59:13.000 They've undoubtedly tried to scour his social media information If there is any, talk to people who knew him, relatives, friends, because they do want to, as you heard the authorities say, understand a possible motive herewith.

01:59:27.000 Aaron Katursky, thank you.

01:59:28.000 And Brad Garrett, our law enforcement contributor.

01:59:31.000 Brad, let's bring you in because you've been a part of so many major investigations.

01:59:37.000 This is unique.

01:59:38.000 We're talking about an attempted assassination of a former president who is currently a candidate for president.

01:59:44.000 FYI, this guy was registered as a Republican, guys.

01:59:49.000 Interestingly enough, here he is.

01:59:53.000 Again, some great DMs from you guys, by the way.

01:59:56.000 Here he is.

01:59:56.000 Matthew Crooks Thomas.

01:59:58.000 Okay.

02:00:00.000 Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

02:00:05.000 And he was born in 2003.

02:00:09.000 And he is a registered voter.

02:00:12.000 Thomas Matthew Crooks. 0.99

02:00:13.000 I wonder what the fuck his motive was then. 0.99

02:00:18.000 Actor, which is, it sounds like that's what they have, but they don't know that. 0.99

02:00:21.000 I think 100% yet.

02:00:24.000 And so you'll see this probably, I suspect by tomorrow, we'll know who the shooter is. 1.00

02:00:29.000 You won't maybe know much about- We know who he is now, motherfucker! 0.99

02:00:33.000 Officially, for a while. 0.99

02:00:36.000 This whole thing is a teaching moment for them because this guy had to be, again, me guessing, outside the perimeter Of what they had covered.

02:00:50.000 And only, I suspect, when he started shooting that they were able to draw a beat on him and stop him.

02:00:55.000 So this will go together, I think, pretty quickly.

02:01:00.000 And we should have a lot more information, I think, by tomorrow.

02:01:03.000 And already in the past five hours or so, we have learned a lot.

02:01:07.000 Brad Garrett, thank you.

02:01:08.000 Let's bring in Elizabeth Newman, our contributor, our former Department of Homeland Security under former President Trump.

02:01:15.000 Elizabeth, what are you learning?

02:01:17.000 And what's your takeaway in the sense of the shooter profile that we're starting to get right now?

02:01:24.000 Look, we don't have a ton of data about assassination attempt attackers, in part because there just aren't that many assassination attempts.

02:01:32.000 But we do have a lot of data about the type of attackers that carry out targeted We know that many of them have some sort of life stressor in their life experience in the last year, some sort of crisis.

02:01:58.000 Sometimes it's a job loss, sometimes it's a Loss of a loved one.

02:02:02.000 Many of them have mental health challenges, not necessarily a diagnosable illness.

02:02:08.000 Let's see where Bethel Park is.

02:02:09.000 It can be a broad category of mental health challenges.

02:02:12.000 That's where this guy's from.

02:02:13.000 And all of these things, what Brad was referencing earlier, they're going to be looking into the attacker's history here.

02:02:21.000 There sometimes is an ideological motivation, and of course, because of who they are.

02:02:26.000 His woman yapping. 0.97

02:02:27.000 Okay, Bethel Park, unofficial, the municipality of Bethel Park is a borough with home rule, a status in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States, a suburb within a Pittsburgh metropolitan area.

02:02:37.000 This is where this guy is from, Thomas M. Crooks.

02:02:40.000 As you guys can see, we pulled up his voter registration earlier.

02:02:44.000 Let's see here.

02:02:45.000 How far is it from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania to Butler, PA? Okay, about 52 miles, an hour away.

02:02:58.000 So this is probably the route the shooter took to get there for the rally.

02:03:10.000 They have been participating in a milieu of violent rhetoric and violent inspiration probably for quite some time.

02:03:17.000 At least that's the profile of most people who carry out attacks.

02:03:20.000 And that's a really great point.

02:03:22.000 And again, we are learning more and more as the minutes and the hours go by already into the evening.

02:03:27.000 And the next 24 to 48 hours is likely to be very illuminating with more information.

02:03:32.000 elizabeth newman thank you so much we cannot forget in all of this the people who are there the witnesses and the victims authorities again confirming that one person was killed two critically wounded all adult males we heard from so many witnesses who saw all of this some of them rushed in to try to help we've been speaking with some who are at the trump rally describing what they saw A warning.

02:03:57.000 Some of it is disturbing.

02:03:58.000 Let's listen.

02:04:00.000 I was positioned probably about maybe 20 feet away from the president at the point in time when he was making his address.

02:04:08.000 I was sort of right at the stage due to me being a...

02:04:12.000 I was a speaker at the event.

02:04:17.000 So I did my speech earlier today during the pre-program and I was a few feet from where this all occurred.

02:04:26.000 We heard the shots and I thought it was, first of all, it was fireworks because, you know, people are on edge and any kind of loud boom you hear, you don't think gunshots immediately, especially because of the environment of what was going on.

02:04:42.000 I turned around, and someone yelled, medic.

02:04:46.000 And I looked, and there was no way a medic could have got to that person in time.

02:04:50.000 So I left my seat, took my tie off, I jumped over the barrier, and I ran to the individual.

02:04:57.000 But when I got there, it was too late.

02:04:59.000 The person was bleeding out through their head.

02:05:04.000 And like I said, once again, respect to the family, because this is a very tough time.

02:05:10.000 But they were shot.

02:05:12.000 And I tried to, you know, block the wound.

02:05:17.000 I tried to hold.

02:05:18.000 I held a towel against it until medical team arrived and got him out.

02:05:24.000 And, you know, from there I helped the police and crowd control with getting people out of there because people were very nervous.

02:05:35.000 People were very hesitant.

02:05:36.000 And we had to move people fast and get them into a safe location.

02:05:40.000 The opposite of where the shooter was at or set to be at.

02:05:45.000 So I assisted with getting people down and getting people out.

02:05:49.000 I try to keep kids calm and just get people clear.

02:05:55.000 Wow, Rico.

02:05:56.000 Obviously, we want to be sensitive to the victim's family.

02:06:00.000 But can you tell us more about this person, where they were?

02:06:05.000 Was it a man?

02:06:05.000 Was it a woman?

02:06:07.000 Well, it was a male.

02:06:10.000 It was a male victim.

02:06:13.000 He was literally just sitting there in the stands.

02:06:19.000 He had to be maybe three or four rows up from the bottom of the bleachers where everybody was sitting.

02:06:27.000 And one second where everyone's cheering and happy and listening to what Trump's saying, and the next minute he's gone.

02:06:38.000 Rico, did you have any training in this sort of first aid?

02:06:44.000 I mean, this is life-saving aid that you're describing here.

02:06:49.000 I mean, I'm in the military.

02:06:51.000 I'm in the...

02:06:54.000 We got about 21,000 of y'all ninjas watching, by the way.

02:06:59.000 Shout out to you guys.

02:06:59.000 Do me a favor, like the video.

02:07:01.000 I might jump on Discord with Sneeko here.

02:07:03.000 I'm just getting messages from him here. 1.00

02:07:05.000 Also, guys, look at this shit, man. 1.00

02:07:08.000 Obviously, Obama, right? 1.00

02:07:11.000 comments on this.

02:07:13.000 There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy, although we don't know what exactly what happened, and this is hours ago, right?

02:07:19.000 We should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn't seriously hurt and used this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.

02:07:25.000 Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.

02:07:27.000 I just said, I'm just here for the comments, and then, like, boom.

02:07:29.000 Obviously, they're going crazy, right? 1.00

02:07:30.000 You got the hotspot saying, fuck you and your tradie husband. 1.00

02:07:34.000 Goddamn! 1.00

02:07:35.000 Holy! 0.99

02:07:37.000 Bro. 1.00

02:07:38.000 These dudes are crazy. 1.00

02:07:40.000 Here, let's refresh this shit real quick. 1.00

02:07:42.000 Hold on. 0.99

02:07:46.000 Yeah.

02:07:49.000 He got shot by one of your guys.

02:07:51.000 Political violence is never okay.

02:07:53.000 Barack Obama making a statement before Biden.

02:07:59.000 At least you spoke before Biden.

02:08:01.000 That's Elon Musk, a parody account. 1.00

02:08:03.000 Yeah, crazy, crazy shit. 1.00

02:08:05.000 And this came... 1.00

02:08:08.000 Because Destiny had posted about this.

02:08:11.000 So...

02:08:12.000 This is Thomas. 1.00

02:08:15.000 This is Crooks right here with that weird fucking underbite chin of his. 1.00

02:08:19.000 So, yeah. 0.99

02:08:23.000 But how are you processing what you saw and what you witnessed?

02:08:30.000 I mean, one can only process what happened...

02:08:36.000 You know, hopefully as slow as possible.

02:08:43.000 But my worry, my heart at this point in time is not for myself, but it's for the families of the loved ones.

02:08:51.000 We just saw him, Trump, duck behind the podium and then a Secret Service pile on top of him.

02:09:01.000 And we heard the shots.

02:09:03.000 More like what we heard.

02:09:04.000 The bullets rattled around the grandstand.

02:09:07.000 One hit the speaker tower, and then chaos broke.

02:09:10.000 We hit the ground, and the police converged to the grandstand.

02:09:14.000 I watched him kind of graze his ear, and then I heard a pop-pop, and then he went down.

02:09:19.000 And then I heard another pop-pop, and then Secret Service kind of came up to the stage.

02:09:24.000 I mean, it was just a chaotic scene.

02:09:26.000 I could see his face.

02:09:26.000 He was right there talking, having a good time.

02:09:30.000 And, you know, you heard one shot, two shot.

02:09:32.000 It sounded like, you know, bang, nothing crazy.

02:09:35.000 And then you heard maybe three or four more.

02:09:37.000 And that's when everyone got quiet, started panicking.

02:09:40.000 Trump dropped right to the floor.

02:09:43.000 I guess Secret Service jumped on top of him and shielded him.

02:09:47.000 But as soon as everyone in the crowd figured out what was going on, we all ducked, and my buddies just jumped on top of me, piled on top of me.

02:09:54.000 And we had no idea what was going on.

02:09:57.000 You're in total shock.

02:09:59.000 You're shook, and you can't feel your legs.

02:10:02.000 But we were trying to decide if we wanted to get up and run, and we had really no idea what to do. 1.00

02:10:06.000 And next thing you know, look at this stupid chick. 1.00

02:10:09.000 See, this is what some of these radical Democrats say, stupid shit like this, this dumb bimbo here. 1.00

02:10:14.000 I just found out about this shit. 1.00

02:10:17.000 It just happened. 1.00

02:10:18.000 I haven't even had a second to process. 0.86

02:10:21.000 You're telling me somebody finally had the balls to bring a pew pew and he missed! 0.88

02:10:29.000 We were a second away! 0.99

02:10:31.000 We were a centimeter away from half of the problem being gone and you missed! 0.87

02:10:37.000 There was a white man attached to that trigger.

02:10:40.000 I know it!

02:10:42.000 We were a centimeter away! 1.00

02:10:44.000 Fuck this bitch. 1.00

02:10:47.000 Fucking dummy. 1.00

02:10:49.000 Sally, whatever the fuck your name is. 1.00

02:10:50.000 You mentally ill fuck. 1.00

02:10:52.000 You dumb whore. 1.00

02:10:54.000 You dumb bitch. 1.00

02:10:55.000 You fucking idiot. 1.00

02:10:56.000 That's the problem with these fucking radical leftists. 1.00

02:10:59.000 Look, you guys can say whatever the fuck you guys want to say about Joe Biden. 1.00

02:11:03.000 You guys can say whatever the fuck you want to say about Barack Obama, etc. 1.00

02:11:06.000 If anything were to ever happen to these guys, I would be fucking angry. 0.99

02:11:10.000 Why? 0.97

02:11:10.000 Though I might not necessarily share political ideals with them, no one is gonna fucking attack our politicians and our presidents, okay? 0.97

02:11:17.000 Like, that's bad on us as a nation, you understand? 1.00

02:11:21.000 So, for this dumb bitch to be calling violence and wishing death upon a former president is unacceptable. 1.00

02:11:29.000 Fuck that dumbass whore. 1.00

02:11:31.000 She's an idiot. 1.00

02:11:32.000 She deserves to be fucking put in jail for that. 1.00

02:11:35.000 Calling for violence against a former president of the United States. 1.00

02:11:40.000 Like, that's unacceptable. 1.00

02:11:41.000 I don't care what your fucking political ideals is. 0.99

02:11:43.000 I wish Biden safety. 1.00

02:11:44.000 I wish Kamala Harris safety.

02:11:46.000 I don't want anything to happen to them because if anything ever happens to a sitting or former president, it looks bad on the United States, period, man.

02:11:55.000 Alright?

02:11:56.000 So... 1.00

02:11:57.000 I'm America first no matter who's in fucking office. 0.99

02:11:59.000 We gotta protect our politicians. 0.99

02:12:01.000 We gotta protect our politicians because it's a bad look if anything bad happens to them.

02:12:08.000 It says a lot about us and our ineptitude.

02:12:11.000 We gotta protect our presidents, man. 1.00

02:12:13.000 Regardless of your political affiliations, you fucking weirdos like that stupid bitch. 1.00

02:12:18.000 Stupid. 1.00

02:12:18.000 Absolute idiot. 1.00

02:12:20.000 Absolute fucking idiot. 1.00

02:12:22.000 Have the fucking nerve to say some shit like that, dumb bitch. 1.00

02:12:26.000 How does that make you feel? 1.00

02:12:29.000 Honestly, still kind of numb to it.

02:12:30.000 You know, it's hard to process all this.

02:12:32.000 You know, your heart rate is through the roof.

02:12:34.000 But, you know, best wishes for their family.

02:12:37.000 And, you know, they were supporting the country that they love.

02:12:39.000 And in the meantime, it's definitely sad.

02:12:42.000 And, you know, it's heartbreaking, honestly.

02:12:46.000 And Stephen, we've been hearing from people on both sides of the aisle, Republicans, Democrats, you know, independent candidate, RFK Jr., all with the same sentiment, condemning political violence, saying there's no place in this country for something like this.

02:13:04.000 And I just wonder, from your perspective, too, You're out there, you're exercising your right to support a candidate.

02:13:10.000 What message do you have for people out there?

02:13:13.000 Because the country is at this political boiling point.

02:13:16.000 There's so much division and anger and hatred right now from one side and the other.

02:13:22.000 What would you like to tell people?

02:13:25.000 At the end of the day, whether you're on the left, the right, the center, or you don't believe in politics at all, we all still put our pants on in the morning.

02:13:34.000 We all breathe the air and go to work.

02:13:36.000 And a lot of these issues, in 10 years, no one even thinks about them or cares about them.

02:13:41.000 So we're all people at the end of the day, and it's not worth taking someone's life over political beliefs or whatever.

02:13:48.000 See, someone has half a brain here. 0.99

02:13:50.000 Senseless indeed. 0.99

02:13:51.000 All people at the end of the day, all Americans at the end of the day trying to get through this tragedy. 1.00

02:13:56.000 One nation under God, motherfuckers. 1.00

02:13:58.000 Don't forget that shit. 1.00

02:14:00.000 People are so quick to forget one nation under God. 1.00

02:14:02.000 One nation. 1.00

02:14:04.000 Regardless of you're independent, you're fucking Republican, you're Democrat. 0.99

02:14:09.000 One nation under God, and people tend to always forget that part. 1.00

02:14:12.000 That's why you got idiots like this stupid bitch that don't really love their country, because if you loved your country, you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to any president. 1.00

02:14:19.000 I don't wish any harm to befall on Joe Biden. 1.00

02:14:22.000 You know, obviously I think he's an incompetent leader, but I wish him a very healthy and long life. 1.00

02:14:26.000 Kamala Harris, she's an idiot, but I wish her a very long and healthy life. 1.00

02:14:30.000 I will never, ever, ever wish death upon anybody, especially anybody that is running this country. 1.00

02:14:36.000 That's the worst thing that could fucking happen. 1.00

02:14:38.000 And the fact that we got people here calling for violence or calling for bad things to happen to our politicians, you're a fucking ass clown. 1.00

02:14:44.000 That conversation went. 1.00

02:14:45.000 He did not want to engage the press.

02:14:47.000 Instead, just, you know, ignoring them and walking up the stairs to Air Force One and back down.

02:14:52.000 All of this has completely changed everything, you know, about this race and this political moment.

02:14:57.000 And the president, you know, before you get to any of the politics, is simply going to have, you know, a lot of the same questions that all of us have.

02:15:03.000 And I do think it is interesting to remember that the president's events, the president's campaign events, they have a very similar Security procedure, security process.

02:15:11.000 So, you know, there are a lot of questions that the president is going to have, you know, as the president, as a candidate, about, you know, how this could have happened and what lessons can be learned going forward.

02:15:22.000 So, first and foremost, he is reacting to this as the president, trying to get some of those answers here in the coming hours with.

02:15:28.000 Yeah, as you noted earlier, president first, candidate second, and everything is being recalibrated now.

02:15:34.000 This is a pool video right now that we're also getting.

02:15:37.000 This was President Biden and his motorcade pulling up to the White House.

02:15:41.000 Remember, he was in Delaware earlier.

02:15:43.000 He cut his weekend trip short to come back to help handle this crisis and respond to it.

02:15:49.000 So the president flew from Delaware, he flew into Andrews, and then picked up the motorcade, and then we saw the Beast and the other vehicles.

02:15:56.000 People that are saying this is a staged event, I don't think so, guys.

02:15:58.000 I know some of you guys got your tinfoil hats on and you guys think it's a staged event.

02:16:02.000 I think it was a little too close for comfort for it to be a staged event.

02:16:05.000 Like, oh yeah, let me go ahead and do this speech.

02:16:08.000 I'm going to turn my face like this and I need you randomly to shoot at it, okay? 0.99

02:16:12.000 Thomas, I'm going to need you to shoot me on the head, but now shoot me on the head so I get some blood so I can go ahead and raise my fist like that. 0.99

02:16:18.000 No, bro, come on, man. 0.99

02:16:19.000 Some of you guys got to take the tinfoil hats off a little bit.

02:16:21.000 Come on, man.

02:16:23.000 Come on, guys.

02:16:24.000 Trump's family and the Trump campaign and a video that they're sending out.

02:16:28.000 Yeah, this is a video that one of the aides that was traveling with Donald Trump back in New Jersey just posted.

02:16:36.000 I know our control room is working to turn that around very quickly, so we'll bring it to our viewers.

02:16:40.000 But again, I think this is all just remarkable.

02:16:45.000 As we've been reporting for the last several hours, as you've been leading our coverage with, the Trump team has really been learning everything in real time.

02:16:55.000 I can tell you that I have been speaking to members John, forgive me.

02:16:58.000 I'm interrupting you just for a moment here because I just want to make clear to our viewers what they're seeing right now.

02:17:04.000 This is video, the first video that we have seen of former President Donald Trump since the shooting earlier today.

02:17:11.000 This was released by a campaign official.

02:17:13.000 This is him stepping off of the plane that he flew into Newark, New Jersey.

02:17:18.000 Remember, Trump was swept off the stage by the Secret Service.

02:17:22.000 He waves to the camera there.

02:17:23.000 He was taken to the emergency vehicles, taken off.

02:17:26.000 He went off to a hospital for treatment and was told that he suffered a graze wound to his right ear.

02:17:33.000 And these are the very first images that we're seeing of the former president walking down the steps off that plane since the shooting, the assassination attempt.

02:17:43.000 John, sorry again to interrupt.

02:17:44.000 I just wanted to point out what the viewers were seeing.

02:17:47.000 But again, you have been in touch with the Trump family throughout the course of the day.

02:17:52.000 Yeah, and with that image, I can tell you something that, you know, at the end of the day, Donald Trump, we all know, is larger than life, if you will.

02:18:00.000 But for his children, he is dead.

02:18:03.000 And, you know, I can tell you that none of the children were with him today in Pennsylvania.

02:18:08.000 They were all scrambling to reach their father to get an update.

02:18:11.000 They were actively in touch with Secret Service.

02:18:14.000 I spoke to his two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

02:18:18.000 They both were able to reach their father.

02:18:20.000 Donald Trump Jr. telling me that when they spoke, his father was in good spirits, commented about how much blood was coming down to his face.

02:18:30.000 And there's UFC tonight for what I'm saying.

02:18:32.000 Is there going to be UFC tonight?

02:18:36.000 Chad, let me know, what time was UFC supposed to be tonight?

02:18:39.000 I think to see Donald Trump showing our viewers on screen right now, you know, to think hours earlier, that image that we have played over and over again of Donald Trump, you know, with agents swarming him and pulling him into that motorcade.

02:18:57.000 I can tell you from many aides and sources of mine that I have built in 10 years of covering Donald Trump for ABC News.

02:19:04.000 Many were horrified, several of whom I've known for quite some time, answered the phone when I was trying to find out what was going on in tears.

02:19:12.000 Oh, the main event is on right now, so I guess he didn't go to UFC.

02:19:16.000 that's what he's saying.

02:19:18.000 I'm What's happening, guys?

02:19:22.000 Where's the main event?

02:19:24.000 Where are they fighting at?

02:19:26.000 Trying to learn what was happening in real time.

02:19:30.000 Now, look, as far as what we know for tonight, our expectation, you mentioned to our viewers, is that Donald Trump right now is in that motorcade, leaving Newark, heading back to his club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

02:19:42.000 Oh, it's in Vegas?

02:19:43.000 Okay.

02:19:44.000 Yeah.

02:19:45.000 When he said that, he was going to...

02:19:49.000 When he said that he was going to go to UFC, I was like, no way Secret Service is going to let that happen.

02:19:53.000 There's no way.

02:19:54.000 Guys, when something like this happens, Secret Service takes over.

02:19:57.000 There's a reason why Biden had to obviously end his weekend.

02:20:02.000 Oh, you guys are saying Denver?

02:20:04.000 Okay, Denver?

02:20:05.000 Okay.

02:20:06.000 There's a reason why Secret Service takes over, man.

02:20:12.000 As much as power you have as a president, if Secret Service says, yo, we're going here, they're going there, and that's it.

02:20:18.000 It's over.

02:20:19.000 You know what I mean?

02:20:20.000 So it is what it is.

02:20:25.000 Private meetings with the three finalists, if you will, would potentially be his running mate.

02:20:30.000 And he thought that this rally today in Pennsylvania was going to be that big event.

02:20:35.000 That ended up not being the event because of the coverage.

02:20:38.000 Obviously, he's been talking something nobody could have predicted.

02:20:41.000 But our understanding is that Donald Trump is still full steam ahead with the convention, expected to head to Milwaukee on Monday, and we still believe that is then and there.

02:20:52.000 We'll find out who his running mate is. 0.86

02:20:54.000 It is, though, I have to tell you, just as an observer of someone who's covered him for this time, I'm surprised at the fact that they are moving so aggressively ahead with the campaign.

02:21:06.000 But then again, not.

02:21:08.000 We know that Donald Trump has had so many twists and turns over the last year, and so often they collide with the campaign, and Donald Trump finds a way, if you will, to make it all work.

02:21:22.000 And I think that's exactly what's going to happen now.

02:21:25.000 Absolutely, John.

02:21:26.000 And you're seeing this remarkable split screen right here.

02:21:29.000 John, thank you again.

02:21:30.000 On the left side of your screen, that is that image that we discussed.

02:21:33.000 The first images that we've seen of the former president after the shooting, stepping off the plane and then heading to Bedminster, New Jersey.

02:21:42.000 On the right, those are the earlier images of the motorcade after he flew into Newark, then escorting him to Bedminster.

02:21:49.000 And joining us now, I believe on the phone, is Rachel Bate, our political contributor.

02:21:53.000 Rachel, we've had Many conversations in recent weeks about the state of the campaign.

02:21:58.000 And once again, another unprecedented moment in this campaign.

02:22:03.000 An attempted assassination of a former president.

02:22:06.000 What are you learning from your sources tonight?

02:22:10.000 Yeah, hey there, Whit.

02:22:11.000 I mean, we can certainly say right now that this is going to further scramble a presidential campaign that is already roiling in chaos, as you just said.

02:22:19.000 I mean, it is very much electrifying Republicans who are already rallying around Donald Trump.

02:22:26.000 And from Democrats who already have heartburn about this campaign, they're even more worried about dimming prospects of taking back the White House.

02:22:35.000 I mean, my colleagues and I were hearing Just hours after this assassination attempt from Republicans who are saying, look, we think this is going to solidify Trump's chance of winning back the White House.

02:22:47.000 One congressman here in Wisconsin, where I am right now, Derek Van Ouren, said that President Trump survived this attack.

02:22:53.000 He just won the election.

02:22:55.000 We also heard from other Republicans who were talking about that sort of iconic picture of Trump.

02:23:00.000 We've got a congresswoman in the chat real quick. 1.00

02:23:03.000 Let's go ahead and hear what she has to say, guys.

02:23:05.000 Let's go ahead.

02:23:06.000 I joined up in it.

02:23:10.000 Let's go ahead and...

02:23:11.000 Oh, this is the recording.

02:23:13.000 Okay, I think it closed from...

02:23:14.000 Okay, so it ended before...

02:23:17.000 Next order is live, too.

02:23:18.000 How many people are in here?

02:23:19.000 As you guys can see, I've been jumping on these political spaces all the time.

02:23:32.000 He started a new space.

02:23:33.000 I think the other one crashed.

02:23:34.000 Let's see what she has to say.

02:23:37.000 Oh, here he is!

02:23:46.000 You got the wrong guy.

02:23:52.000 My name is Thomas Matthew Crooks. 0.98

02:23:54.000 I hate Republicans. 0.99

02:23:55.000 I hate Trump. 1.00

02:23:57.000 And guess what? 0.93

02:23:59.000 You got the wrong guy. 1.00

02:24:01.000 What the fuck? 1.00

02:24:02.000 This guy's a weirdo, man. 1.00

02:24:06.000 What's wrong with you niggas, man? 1.00

02:24:08.000 Goddamn, bro. 1.00

02:24:09.000 People are so fucking weird, man. 0.99

02:24:12.000 And so I started looking into what was going on and immediately interceding and praying for the president and for the people who were at the rally. 0.99

02:24:23.000 And I saw that he was shot at.

02:24:28.000 And this was an attempted murder, an attempted assassination on President Trump.

02:24:34.000 and continued to pray and do what I could to offer support and send messages to those who I know who are close with him and to him and himself that I'm there, not expecting any response, not expecting any response, because I know that this is a very heightened time.

02:24:55.000 And immediately texts and calls started coming into me from other people.

02:25:02.000 But it was it was extremely emotional.

02:25:05.000 All right, she's a gun right advocate. 0.84

02:25:06.000 I guess to get behind that.

02:25:08.000 Gun right activist, let's go. 1.00

02:25:12.000 That President Trump isn't just a former president or a candidate or the future president to me.

02:25:21.000 He's a friend of mine.

02:25:23.000 And this is someone who I have had...

02:25:26.000 Okay.

02:25:27.000 She opposes transitioning to green energy, COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates, abortion, sex education.

02:25:33.000 All right.

02:25:34.000 So I described born again, Christian.

02:25:40.000 I can respect that, man.

02:25:46.000 She's pro-gun.

02:25:48.000 She's pro-gun, so I can get behind that. 0.95

02:25:53.000 Uh, relationships and endeavors and, um, and even political endeavors.

02:25:59.000 And, and so, you know, not, not only is this someone who's the leader of the Republican party who was just shot at, this was my friend.

02:26:08.000 And, um, certainly, um, I've gone through a lot of emotions with that.

02:26:13.000 I've gone through sadness.

02:26:14.000 I've gone through anger.

02:26:15.000 I've gone through prayer and, um, In all of this, I'm grateful that he is okay, that he is alive.

02:26:23.000 I'm saddened that someone who was exercising their right to be at his rally and express their support for him lost their life.

02:26:30.000 Hey, Congress, are you back?

02:26:35.000 Yes.

02:26:36.000 I'm sorry.

02:26:37.000 I am saddened by those who were injured at this rally.

02:26:42.000 I've been at these rallies and I know the excitement that people have to To go to these rallies.

02:26:50.000 I'm one of the few.

02:26:52.000 I think Matt Gates and I are probably like the top two who actually go out into the crowd.

02:27:00.000 I've seen other members of Congress who sit back in the green room, in the VIP tent, wherever the air conditioning is, in these scorching hot areas where these rallies are held.

02:27:13.000 And I make the effort to go to the very back of the rally.

02:27:18.000 To connect with the people who are there just to say they were there, knowing that they're not going to have an opportunity to see President Trump, to speak with President Trump, to get a picture with President Trump, maybe be even too far back to see him on the jumbo screen.

02:27:37.000 Oh, looks like the space ended. 0.99

02:27:39.000 I don't know what the fuck happened. 0.95

02:27:40.000 It crashed. 0.93

02:27:42.000 Let's join this one real quick.

02:27:44.000 Let's see.

02:27:46.000 That invites this type of nonsense, this type of aggression.

02:27:50.000 So we have to remain unified, I think, strong, and showcase that we back Trump, and I don't think this is going to happen again.

02:27:56.000 At least that's what I hope.

02:28:03.000 Yeah, absolutely.

02:28:04.000 We're working on some things in the background here right now, but Alan Stone, go ahead and jump in here.

02:28:07.000 I had, in essence, the same question.

02:28:09.000 I mean, obviously, President Trump is a deep state target, has been since 2015 when he announced that he was running.

02:28:16.000 If this was someone like Ron DeSantis or any of the other people that were running for president against President Trump, this wouldn't happen to them.

02:28:25.000 It just wouldn't.

02:28:27.000 Does President Trump now have to pick someone like a General Michael Flynn who they hate just as much, if not more?

02:28:38.000 Is that question to me or to Nick?

02:28:40.000 To you, George.

02:28:42.000 Let's go back to the news, guys.

02:28:43.000 Look, tell us about the plans and everything at this point, as we're told, is moving forward.

02:28:53.000 Yeah, I wouldn't call it business as usual because everyone in the city is stunned and some of the events and parties have been scaled back or canceled.

02:29:01.000 This is obviously the only topic that anyone is talking about right now and all concerned about.

02:29:07.000 And I've been hearing from delegates all day say that their thoughts, their concerns, their prayers are with Donald Trump.

02:29:12.000 And it strikes me on this day We're good to go.

02:29:37.000 From this horrible incident that occurred just hours ago, it's going to be felt in Milwaukee in the coming days where this convention is planning to go ahead as scheduled starting Monday, and it could be felt throughout the rest of this campaign and beyond.

02:29:49.000 This has just cast a pall over all of America and American politics and closing out this really, truly sad and horrific day.

02:29:58.000 Rick Klein for us once again and to our entire team.

02:30:01.000 No doubt this is a moment of reflection, a defining moment in this country, as people from all sides of the aisle are going to have to ask themselves, who are we as Americans going forward after this unprecedented moment in this campaign, the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, again escaping with only minor injury.

02:30:21.000 But three victims were shot today.

02:30:23.000 One person killed, two others in critical condition.

02:30:27.000 The suspect also killed by a sniper for the Secret Service.

02:30:32.000 All these details still coming in.

02:30:34.000 Developments have been coming in moment by moment, hour by hour.

02:30:37.000 We expect to learn much more in the coming days.

02:30:40.000 For now, I do want to thank you and all of you who have been with us throughout the course of the day, followed by these major developments that we've been tracking this evening.

02:30:47.000 We return you now to regular programming.

02:30:50.000 We will, of course, be monitoring all the developments and all the changes across all of our platforms on ABC News and our programs tomorrow, beginning with a special edition of Good Morning America and a special edition of This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

02:31:03.000 We leave you now with this image here that we noted earlier, the American flag still illuminated, still flying above that stage at the side of the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

02:31:13.000 For now, I'm Whit Johnson in New York.

02:31:16.000 Have a great night.

02:31:17.000 All right.

02:31:18.000 Let's go back to Twitter here.

02:31:21.000 This has been a special report from.

02:31:24.000 Type in news.

02:31:38.000 State officials to get the manpower they need.

02:31:43.000 So they're going to look at first the security plan that was put in place.

02:31:47.000 Was it a. 0.99

02:31:49.000 NBC sucks. 0.99

02:31:50.000 You get the proper protection that you need. 0.99

02:31:56.000 We've got to protect every presidential candidate.

02:31:58.000 But, you know, coming from your family and your background and your personal experience, what was your reaction to today?

02:32:07.000 Well, you know, my reaction is hope, Sean, that Americans can kind of take a step back and take a breath and say it's time to end the vitriol.

02:32:20.000 You know, you were talking about and Laura was talking about just the anger from both sides and from the media.

02:32:30.000 And people pointing to other political candidates and saying they're going to be the end of the republic.

02:32:36.000 They're going to be the end of democracy.

02:32:38.000 And that kind of poison feeds into this.

02:32:41.000 You know, my uncle was killed.

02:32:43.000 I was 10 years old.

02:32:46.000 And the morning that he landed in Dallas, there were posters all over Dallas and a front page of a newspaper which had his picture on it saying, wanted dead or alive.

02:32:58.000 And that was the gestalt of that time.

02:33:02.000 It was driven by anger and in many ways His murder was a product of that anger.

02:33:08.000 When my father was killed, it was the same time.

02:33:10.000 It was the most divisive time in American history.

02:33:14.000 It was very much like today, most divisive since the Civil War.

02:33:19.000 There were riots in over 100 cities that summer.

02:33:24.000 Martin Luther King was killed two months before my father.

02:33:28.000 People were being shot on college campuses.

02:33:32.000 And that anger Fed laid the foundation for my father's murder.

02:33:40.000 And, you know, after Princeton Kennedy's murder, there was a time of regrouping, and there was a time of where Americans said to each other, we have to stop this.

02:33:50.000 We have to start looking at each other as part of a big family.

02:33:54.000 We can have differences with each other without despising each other.

02:33:58.000 We are the exemplary democracy of the world.

02:34:01.000 We can't allow our country to devolve into violence.

02:34:04.000 We are better than And I'm not talking about the other media, but also you and me and all of us are complicit in some ways in what happened tonight.

02:34:19.000 And I think all of us have to sort of step back now and say, how do we change the tone of this whole campaign?

02:34:28.000 How do we change the tone of the political dialogue in this country and start to forgive each other, to reconcile, to love each other again, and to see each other, to be able to have differences with each other without wanting to murder each other?

02:34:44.000 Yeah.

02:34:45.000 You know, let's go back.

02:34:47.000 How old were you when your father was assassinated?

02:34:50.000 How old were you when your uncle was assassinated?

02:34:56.000 I was 10 years old when my uncle was assassinated and I remember it like it was yesterday.

02:35:03.000 I was with his body.

02:35:06.000 I broke down the JFK shooting, by the way, guys, in explicit detail.

02:35:11.000 Go check it out.

02:35:12.000 I remember every moment of it.

02:35:17.000 I was 14 when my dad died.

02:35:21.000 And I was with him when he died in Los Angeles.

02:35:24.000 So I, you know, I sent a message out, a note out to President Trump tonight and to his family, telling him how relieved I am that he was not more badly injured, wishing him a quick recovery, thanking him for his courage during that event, which was inspirational.

02:35:46.000 But also telling him that Cheryl and I are praying for him, our whole family is praying for him, for Melania, and for his family, not only for his quick recovery, but for his continued safety during this campaign.

02:36:02.000 And I really wish, I really hope, that President Biden reaches out to President Trump and offers him a podium somewhere where the two of these men We

02:36:36.000 killed JFK. I'll put it in there.

02:36:40.000 There was this moment of calm.

02:36:42.000 There was a moment of peacefulness that Congress got together, both sides, and passed the Civil Rights Act, guaranteeing the right to vote for black Americans.

02:36:52.000 And it was a healing that took place.

02:36:54.000 And I hope the same thing happens now.

02:36:57.000 I remember, too, I remember your father, I mean, it's a famous video of him announcing to a crowd that Martin Luther King Jr.

02:37:09.000 had been assassinated.

02:37:10.000 This is all happening in the same time period, as you know.

02:37:13.000 There are two things that I think You know, that relate directly to you that have to happen as a result of what happened today.

02:37:22.000 And one is, I think you need Secret Service protection immediately for you and your family as a presidential candidate.

02:37:28.000 Putting aside our personal political differences, number one.

02:37:32.000 Number two, you know, there's been a lot of talk for a lot of years about releasing the files about your uncle's assassination.

02:37:38.000 Yeah, they won't do that.

02:37:39.000 And I don't know why there has been reluctance and resistance to do so.

02:37:43.000 I believe President Trump recently said that if elected, he would in fact release those.

02:37:47.000 You guys know why.

02:37:48.000 I wonder why there's any argument as to why not.

02:37:50.000 You guys want that JFK one.

02:37:51.000 I pinned it at the top.

02:37:52.000 You guys will see why they don't want to release it.

02:37:53.000 Would you have a request into President Biden?

02:37:57.000 Have they given you any legitimate reason why they keep refusing you the Secret Service protection that you have requested in light of what has happened to your family?

02:38:07.000 Yeah, I mean, but I don't, and listen, Sean, I really appreciate you going to bat for me on that issue because you've done that before and you've done it pretty persistently despite our personal differences with each other.

02:38:20.000 And I think that's the kind of example that, you know, we all need to look on.

02:38:24.000 You don't, you don't, you don't like anything about my politics, but you have been asking for me to get protection.

02:38:31.000 I don't want to I don't want to make this evening about me.

02:38:38.000 It's about something bigger.

02:38:40.000 And, you know, you talked about the Secret Service in an admiring way.

02:38:44.000 And I really like that you mentioned after these men and women, how they rushed into the gunfire, how they surrounded President Trump.

02:38:52.000 They put their own bodies in the ways of those bullets. 0.99

02:38:55.000 They invited people who shoot at them rather than the President.

02:38:59.000 With an extraordinary courage and with a commitment to our country, to our Constitution.

02:39:05.000 They weren't just protecting a man.

02:39:07.000 They were protecting our nation.

02:39:09.000 And I think all of us have to step back and say, you know, we need to have a little bit of that courage in our own lives now.

02:39:17.000 And it might be Maybe not running into a bullet, but maybe biting our tongue when we have a really withering reply to somebody.

02:39:26.000 Maybe not amplifying an angry pose from somebody else.

02:39:30.000 Maybe doing something kind for somebody we don't like.

02:39:34.000 Somebody on the other side of the aisle reaching out and doing something healing.

02:39:41.000 You asked about the JFK files.

02:39:47.000 You know, President Biden and President Trump both promised to release them.

02:39:51.000 I know you have a very, very strong friendship with President Trump.

02:39:55.000 And maybe at some time over dinner or late at night, you can ask him why he decided not to do that.

02:40:02.000 But I don't want to talk about those issues today.

02:40:04.000 I understand.

02:40:06.000 Prayers go out for President Trump and his family.

02:40:09.000 And we all, I think every American, Whether you like President Trump or not, you know, should be praying a prayer of gratitude that he did not, that this was not worth.

02:40:20.000 And also a prayer for his recovery and for healing in our country.

02:40:25.000 You see that picture that we have on the screen and him like very strongly showing a fist pump.

02:40:31.000 He just got shot in the ear and had his ear pierced.

02:40:34.000 He came within a millimeter or two of being shot and assassinated.

02:40:40.000 Your family's been through too much, sir.

02:40:42.000 I stand by my statement that you deserve that protection, and I'll continue to advocate for whether you want me to or not, but it wouldn't be our first disagreement.

02:40:52.000 But anyway, thank you.

02:40:54.000 That's too much for one family.

02:40:55.000 All right, I got Sneeko calling in, guys, so I'm going to answer.

02:41:01.000 Yo.

02:41:02.000 Hey, can you hear me?

02:41:04.000 I can.

02:41:04.000 Chat, can you guys hear Sneeko in here?

02:41:07.000 Can you guys hear him?

02:41:09.000 Your camera's not on.

02:41:10.000 You just gotta turn your camera.

02:41:11.000 I think you might have to turn it off in your streaming app and then turn it on in Discord.

02:41:18.000 I don't know.

02:41:19.000 We can just call like this if you prefer.

02:41:21.000 Yeah, because if I turn my...

02:41:32.000 You guys can hear them?

02:41:33.000 All right, sweet.

02:41:33.000 Yeah, they can hear you.

02:41:34.000 I don't know why my camera's acting stupid, but it's fine, bro. 0.98

02:41:36.000 Go ahead. 0.92

02:41:37.000 Because you have to disable it in...

02:41:38.000 What are you using?

02:41:39.000 OBS? Streamlabs?

02:41:40.000 Yeah, I'm using OBS. Yeah, just disable your camera in OBS and then you can enable it in Discord.

02:41:45.000 It takes a second.

02:41:46.000 Okay, so they'll be able to see me on your side, right?

02:41:49.000 Yeah, and on yours.

02:41:50.000 And then you just open the Discord window.

02:41:52.000 Okay, hold on one second. 0.92

02:41:56.000 Sorry guys, I'm like figuring this crap out.

02:41:58.000 It's good, it's fine, it's fine.

02:42:00.000 This is good to learn for future FedReact streams and stuff.

02:42:02.000 Yeah, go ahead, yeah.

02:42:05.000 I was gonna call Jackson Henkel and Zorkin a bit too.

02:42:07.000 They've been trying to call him.

02:42:09.000 Yeah, go ahead.

02:42:10.000 Alright, you guys...

02:42:11.000 I think you guys can hear me, but you guys can hear Sneeko, which is what matters.

02:42:17.000 Alright, go ahead.

02:42:18.000 Am I on your camera thing now?

02:42:19.000 I'm not?

02:42:20.000 No.

02:42:20.000 Okay, so now you see the camera.

02:42:22.000 If you go on the bottom middle, you see that camera icon?

02:42:24.000 Just turn it off and on.

02:42:25.000 I did.

02:42:25.000 I hit deactivate and then reactivate and it was being lame.

02:42:29.000 Okay, so do you have two scenes in OBS? Maybe you have to deactivate your camera in both scenes.

02:42:35.000 It's fine, bro.

02:42:35.000 Do you need my face?

02:42:37.000 I'm out live on mine.

02:42:38.000 They can see me on mine.

02:42:39.000 Do you need my face?

02:42:39.000 Okay, it's fine.

02:42:40.000 Don't worry about it.

02:42:41.000 I'll just keep the news open.

02:42:42.000 And I think the chat can hear you, so that's what it is.

02:42:45.000 Yeah, guys, I am a boomer.

02:42:46.000 Make fun of me.

02:42:46.000 Yes, I know I'm old.

02:42:48.000 Wait, you gotta learn it eventually.

02:42:50.000 It's not that hard to fix. 0.90

02:42:51.000 Nah, because Bill set this OBS thing up for me, so if I fuck with it, I already know I'm gonna mess it up.

02:42:57.000 All you have to do is, if you see the camera, just right click the camera and then deactivate it.

02:43:06.000 I did.

02:43:06.000 That's literally what I did.

02:43:07.000 I hit deactivate and then I hit react and then I hit activate again.

02:43:11.000 And then I'm good on my end, but for some odd reason it doesn't show it on yours.

02:43:14.000 I don't know why the hell...

02:43:15.000 Well, it shouldn't still show it on your thing.

02:43:17.000 That's why.

02:43:18.000 Because your camera is still on.

02:43:20.000 No, no, no.

02:43:20.000 I turn it off, then I turn it back on.

02:43:22.000 Here, let me try this.

02:43:23.000 Well, no, no, no.

02:43:24.000 Now your camera is only supposed to show from Discord.

02:43:26.000 That's the whole point.

02:43:31.000 It's fine, man.

02:43:32.000 Just...

02:43:32.000 What's up, brother?

02:43:33.000 Okay.

02:43:34.000 What's your...

02:43:35.000 Obviously, this is a huge day.

02:43:37.000 This is one of the biggest days in modern American history, actually.

02:43:40.000 Yeah.

02:43:41.000 No, it's huge.

02:43:43.000 And I see we're trying to find a shooter a little bit.

02:43:45.000 Have you seen the same information that it's this guy, Thomas Crooks?

02:43:48.000 Yeah.

02:43:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:43:49.000 It's him.

02:43:50.000 It's him.

02:43:50.000 Is that sure?

02:43:51.000 Is that...

02:43:52.000 I posted a picture of him, but it pressure me to deleting it because I don't want to get sued.

02:43:56.000 I think it is him.

02:43:57.000 I think it is him from what I've seen.

02:44:00.000 So apparently he graduated in 2022, and there's some videos of him saying that he hates Trump and he hates Republicans.

02:44:05.000 Did you see that video?

02:44:05.000 Yeah, even though he's registered as a Republican, which is kind of weird.

02:44:09.000 Also, he just graduated, so he must only be like 21 or 20 years old.

02:44:14.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:44:15.000 He's a young guy, man.

02:44:16.000 You know, but I'm not surprised, right? 0.99

02:44:18.000 Like, these fucking radicals, man, they're always on some bullshit with, you know, they take their political views a little too far and they think that it's okay to enact violence. 0.99

02:44:26.000 So it's always weird. 1.00

02:44:27.000 And, you know, obviously, as I predicted, the FBI took lead on this thing.

02:44:30.000 And look, Chad, you guys can see here, there's the FBI guy.

02:44:32.000 Obviously, we got the top guy, state police, and you got ATF in the back, too.

02:44:37.000 That's probably the sack for Pittsburgh.

02:44:40.000 So, yeah.

02:44:41.000 Yeah.

02:44:41.000 Did you see his dad, apparently, I'm not sure this is confirmed, is also a mental health professional.

02:44:45.000 So I would put money that this guy is on antidepressants, is on some sort of medication.

02:44:51.000 Almost definitely.

02:44:52.000 Probably.

02:44:52.000 Some people in the chat are saying it's not him.

02:44:54.000 Are you guys sure?

02:44:55.000 New York Post reported it's him, guys.

02:44:57.000 Yeah, New York Post did report that and they've been pretty accurate.

02:45:00.000 I mean, the FBI, I was watching this video too of their Q&A. They pretty much took a stance of like, okay, we don't know what's happening.

02:45:06.000 We don't know information.

02:45:07.000 Call in.

02:45:08.000 Give us this.

02:45:09.000 But I don't think that they really know that much or they're just feigning ignorance to keep the public calm.

02:45:14.000 Yeah, I think definitely he probably is. 0.87

02:45:18.000 I think he's a shooter.

02:45:20.000 I mean, he looks too much like the guy.

02:45:23.000 And then also TMZ is reporting it too.

02:45:25.000 So I think it is him.

02:45:28.000 What did you think?

02:45:50.000 Yeah, the Secret Service dropped the ball today, for sure. 1.00

02:45:53.000 They absolutely fucked up. 0.99

02:45:56.000 You know, for that, for a guy to be able to climb up on the roof of a building, literally a couple hundred meters away from where the president was, I think it was like 100, between 100 to 200 meters away, is wild, bro. 1.00

02:46:08.000 That's just, or yards, whatever the fuck. 0.98

02:46:11.000 Either way, it doesn't matter. 0.98

02:46:12.000 So people are saying in the chat, Okay, whatever.

02:46:15.000 Anyway, going back to what I was saying with you.

02:46:17.000 So it's just not unprecedented, man.

02:46:20.000 And the Secret Service, I was mentioning this earlier, like the Secret Service relies heavily upon other agencies to augment their security details whenever they're on, whenever they're doing these rallies, especially when it's like a presidential candidate, like someone like a Trump.

02:46:33.000 They don't have the same level of security as a sitting president.

02:46:36.000 So, you know, they cut corners, they bring HSI agents on, they bring state police on, they bring local law enforcement.

02:46:41.000 And a lot of times these guys aren't necessarily, their thing isn't necessarily protection.

02:46:48.000 You know, these are law enforcement agencies and protection and security versus law enforcement are two different things.

02:46:53.000 So I think it's really important for the audience to understand that.

02:46:56.000 That when Secret Service brings these guys on, they don't have the same training and background experience as a Secret Service agent.

02:47:02.000 So, you know, this was kind of people seeing the ugly side of law enforcement and how understaffed Secret Service really is. 0.59

02:47:08.000 I've been mentioning that all day today, that Secret Service has been, for years, Chronically understaffed and it's because this job of being a secret service agent fucking sucks for like a better term They're watching they're sitting in guarding fucking garbage cans right for like 10 hours a day And it just blows it's and you know you keep in mind that's assuming you even got a halfway decent detail a lot of times you're and you're protecting you know a President or a close relative of the president and you're not necessarily involved in anything cool So I think when people get on the job and they realize

02:47:38.000 realize it's not what it really is.

02:47:40.000 Yeah.

02:47:41.000 They become complacent, but it seems like the perfect scenario where they should be on point completely, especially in Pennsylvania.

02:47:47.000 It's always like, there's always a national tragedy in Pennsylvania, 9-11, the plane crashed there, but especially a rally.

02:47:53.000 This is how Robert Kennedy was assassinated, correct?

02:47:57.000 He was at a rally.

02:47:58.000 This is, especially with the election season coming up, shouldn't this be the one thing that they have on lock?

02:48:04.000 It seems like the incompetence is a little bit, it raises your eyebrow.

02:48:09.000 Like, who's in his circle?

02:48:11.000 Why were there so many women, first off? 1.00

02:48:12.000 I don't know why.

02:48:13.000 It seemed like he had a lot of women on his team. 0.99

02:48:16.000 And if I'm the former president, if I'm as hated as Trump, I'm not hiring that many women. 0.99

02:48:20.000 Yeah, I mean, the problem here is that he has a watered-down Secret Service detail, bro.

02:48:24.000 You're not going to have the same level of protection as a sitting president.

02:48:28.000 So that's another issue, too, which I think it's crazy when you have someone as divisive as Trump, how he's not having sitting-level security detail as a president, which I hope after this they're definitely going to give it to him. 0.90

02:48:42.000 But this was a fuck-up on Secret Service 100%.

02:48:45.000 They've relied way too much on other agencies. 0.93

02:48:47.000 They've relied way too much on...

02:48:48.000 Bringing other people in to help them and augment their security details. 0.99

02:48:51.000 Hopefully this is a wake-up call because they literally missed the president by fucking centimeters, man. 0.98

02:48:57.000 And it could have been a way different situation had he not turned his head at that precise moment. 0.99

02:49:01.000 And, you know, shout out to the agent that was quick to, you know, to shoot back and kill the shooter immediately.

02:49:06.000 But that shooter never- Was it the sniper that neutralized him?

02:49:09.000 Yeah, it was a Secret Service sniper that neutralized him.

02:49:12.000 I mean, that was a good shot, but shouldn't he have done it a little bit sooner?

02:49:15.000 Because that guy must have had time to get up on the roof, to climb up there, to use his iron sights.

02:49:21.000 It seems like, and also he was aiming directly at him.

02:49:24.000 I'm surprised it took him that long to clock him.

02:49:25.000 Yeah, and that's on Secret Service for even letting him get up there in the first place, which is kind of terrible.

02:49:32.000 What did you think about Trump's response?

02:49:36.000 We just witnessed American history.

02:49:38.000 That was one of the bravest and most strong moments we've seen and one of the best examples of leadership that we've seen in recent history.

02:49:45.000 Him holding up the fist like that.

02:49:47.000 It even looked like he hit a Roman salute like Weyron Fittler for a second when he was walking away.

02:49:52.000 That was...

02:49:52.000 And then seeing also the CNN response saying Trump fell over and was rushed off stage.

02:49:57.000 One, he didn't fall over.

02:49:59.000 He ducked after he realized he was being shot at.

02:50:01.000 Two, they didn't rush him off stage.

02:50:02.000 They carefully...

02:50:03.000 They actually had to hesitate because he went there.

02:50:05.000 He's like, fight!

02:50:06.000 Fight!

02:50:06.000 They absolutely did not rush him off.

02:50:08.000 So seeing how he was being able to respond like that with blood all over his face, that made me proud to be an American right there.

02:50:14.000 And also seeing how the mainstream news tried to change that moment and seemed like he's inciting violence for saying fight.

02:50:21.000 Using the worst pictures of one of the coolest events in recent history strategically to make him look weaker.

02:50:27.000 You really get to see the polar opposites right now.

02:50:30.000 The agenda, the mainstream media and what they're trying to push.

02:50:33.000 And then patriots like Trump who love God and love this country.

02:50:37.000 No, I agree.

02:50:38.000 I mean, obviously, you know, the leftist media is going to try to portray them in a certain way, but they can't win.

02:50:44.000 I mean, today was a defiant day.

02:50:46.000 It was a big day.

02:50:46.000 Obviously, those photos are going to live on in history.

02:50:49.000 You know, an attempted assassination on, you know, a former president of the United States that failed, and it was done in 2024 with HD cameras all over the place.

02:51:00.000 This is going to live on in infamy, and it's a huge day.

02:51:02.000 It's a huge W for Trump, it's a huge W for the Republican Party.

02:51:06.000 It's a huge W in general for anyone that is conservative in mind that our resolve is strong and we will not be held down. 0.91

02:51:13.000 And him being able to pump the fist and say fight after being shot at where a lot of other people would have fucking cowered and just stayed down is a testament to Trump's character. 0.54

02:51:22.000 And I think also people got to understand that it's protocol. 0.97

02:51:25.000 If there's shots fired, the president has to hit the floor.

02:51:27.000 That's protocol.

02:51:28.000 So and that's why the Secret Service agents, if you notice, like Trump was a little reluctant to get down and then they just jumped on top of him.

02:51:34.000 So people got to understand that a lot of it is protocol.

02:51:37.000 A lot of it is stuff that's out of Trump's control.

02:51:39.000 If you notice, they're dragging him off.

02:51:41.000 He didn't want to get off the stage.

02:51:42.000 They dragged him off the stage and pushed him off.

02:51:44.000 So he wanted to stay, you know, held.

02:51:47.000 He told them, hey, put my shoes on.

02:51:48.000 He didn't even want to, you know, he was, you know, say, get my shoes, right?

02:51:52.000 So he didn't want to walk.

02:51:53.000 He said, get my shoes. 0.98

02:51:54.000 He really went up there and he said, I'm not fucking leaving. 0.98

02:51:56.000 Yeah, pretty much. 0.98

02:51:57.000 I'm not fucking leaving. 1.00

02:51:58.000 You're going to need a fucking wrecking ball to take me. 1.00

02:52:00.000 That was exactly what he did. 0.99

02:52:02.000 And so to see them blatantly lie like that, say he fell.

02:52:06.000 Not true.

02:52:06.000 To say he was rushed off, not true.

02:52:09.000 And also I think it's a very pivotal moment because we're seeing the difference in how the mainstream media will so clearly try to blatantly lie.

02:52:16.000 And then I have to say Jeff Bezos had the correct response.

02:52:19.000 Elon Musk had the correct response.

02:52:21.000 A lot of people are coming out and showing support.

02:52:23.000 The only thing the Democrats could say was, we condemn violence.

02:52:26.000 They couldn't take away how badass that moment was.

02:52:28.000 All they could say was we could have violence.

02:52:30.000 Trump had a good response to True Social.

02:52:32.000 You can see a lot of influencers have the right response.

02:52:34.000 Like Jake Paul said some good things and a lot of celebrities and others.

02:52:37.000 But at the same time, you're seeing how the liberal media, not just random TikTokers, you know, with the witch nose ring, all the liberals saying like...

02:52:44.000 Oh, if only he didn't miss.

02:52:46.000 How are you going to miss that shot?

02:52:47.000 But also guys like Hasanabi, like Destiny, and others. 0.54

02:52:50.000 These people were basically joking around and celebrating it.

02:52:53.000 And immediately making jokes when, you know, a former president's life was just attempted.

02:52:57.000 Yeah, no, it's crazy. 0.97

02:52:58.000 I mean, I'm reading some of Destiny's tweets right now, which are fucking wild.

02:53:02.000 You know, I just go with Destiny on a lot of the things.

02:53:05.000 Let's see here.

02:53:06.000 I'll even share my screen here for you ninjas. 0.76

02:53:07.000 But yeah, dude, it's just wild stuff, what he's saying here.

02:53:12.000 And I was saying this earlier, like advocating for violence or being happy about anything happening to any American politician is a problem.

02:53:20.000 Like an injustice against one American politician is justice at all because people forget that when you take the Pledge of Allegiance, what does it say?

02:53:25.000 One nation under God. 0.99

02:53:27.000 That means Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, whatever the fuck you identify as. 0.99

02:53:30.000 One nation under God. 0.99

02:53:32.000 So I don't like Biden, for example, but I wish him a long and healthy life.

02:53:36.000 I wish Kamala Harris a long and healthy life.

02:53:38.000 I would never wish death if the same thing happened to Joe Biden.

02:53:41.000 I swear on God that that would never happen.

02:53:44.000 I'm not the type of person to wish death and stuff like this on anybody.

02:53:47.000 To see Destiny tweet this, all I see is to make a joke immediately is really telling of what these people believe in.

02:53:53.000 And also, I really think it's a war. 0.78

02:53:56.000 I think it's spiritual warfare.

02:53:58.000 All the atheists and all the people like Destiny, Hassanabi, others, these people, the fact that they're... 0.88

02:54:03.000 Hassanabi said Trump was clip farming. 1.00

02:54:05.000 How stupid is that? 1.00

02:54:07.000 He's showing a moment of strength when the country's worried. 1.00

02:54:10.000 Think about how many millions and millions of Americans look up to Trump and look up to him as a source of leadership and guidance in America.

02:54:18.000 They're worried.

02:54:18.000 They're scared.

02:54:19.000 He goes up there, shows strength, and it's still not enough for these people.

02:54:23.000 On CNN, they try to criticize him saying fight.

02:54:26.000 Destiny makes a joke saying Biden plus one.

02:54:29.000 When somebody died, may they rest in peace.

02:54:31.000 Somebody died. 1.00

02:54:33.000 Yeah, no, it's fucking terrible, man. 1.00

02:54:37.000 Like I said before, if this, if Biden got shot, I would have said, what the fuck? 1.00

02:54:40.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

02:54:41.000 I would have been talking shit about that shooter as well and been like, fuck that asshole. 1.00

02:54:44.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

02:54:45.000 Like, at the end of the day, and I was trying to explain this to people, is that when you, what is this? 1.00

02:54:51.000 Yeah, Hassan, this fucking loser. 0.99

02:54:53.000 I'm looking at his Twitter timeline right now. 1.00

02:54:55.000 But yeah, if an American politician is killed, that reflects poorly on the entire country.

02:55:01.000 So we can't have any of our politicians being taken out.

02:55:06.000 It's really a reflection of a weakness in our country.

02:55:09.000 If the same thing happened to Joe Biden, I would be worried for the safety of our politicians and especially how our enemies are going to look at us and try to find holes and try to find weaknesses right there.

02:55:19.000 Yeah, look at Asanabe Sweet. 1.00

02:55:21.000 It's really insane too because we're banned off of most social media.

02:55:26.000 I've never incited violence on anybody.

02:55:28.000 You could see so many people on TikTok are wishing death or try to incite even more violence and they don't get banned at all.

02:55:35.000 So it's really clear what the narrative is when all these people are allowed on TikTok, these people with the nose rings and the satanic imagery everywhere, the vaccinated soy face, all this, they're allowed to push that.

02:55:46.000 They get pushed on the algorithm.

02:55:48.000 But if you're pro-Trump, you get banned everywhere.

02:55:50.000 And we both never incited violence a day in our lives.

02:55:53.000 Yeah, absolutely.

02:55:54.000 You know, I mean, this is a guy that said America deserved 9-11.

02:55:58.000 There you go.

02:55:59.000 These people are enemies of the state, right?

02:56:01.000 They hate this country, but for some reason they choose to stay.

02:56:03.000 That's what never made sense to me about these people.

02:56:05.000 Hassan Abbe, you know, he regrets the fact that Trump did not die in this assassination attempt.

02:56:10.000 He says America deserved 9-11, but they stay.

02:56:13.000 These same people, when Trump won in 2016, I'm sure you remember they all said, if Trump wins, we're going to leave.

02:56:17.000 We're going to go to Canada. 0.99

02:56:18.000 All these Hollywood actors like Alec Baldwin, like Eminem, these people, these faggots, they said that they were going to leave. 1.00

02:56:24.000 But I'm sorry, I know you're on YouTube. 0.99

02:56:25.000 Yeah, I'm on YouTube.

02:56:26.000 My apologies.

02:56:28.000 But they said that they were going to leave, and they didn't.

02:56:31.000 And they stay here, and they continue to hate, and they continue to remain in the country that they think is lost.

02:56:36.000 Yeah.

02:56:36.000 Without trying to fight.

02:56:37.000 But instead of trying to fight, instead of fighting for freedom, instead of fighting for these values, they continue to go and backbite and try to take down Trump more.

02:56:44.000 Yeah, I'm looking here right now.

02:56:45.000 Dom Luster just posted that this guy, Thomas Crooks, actually donated to Joe Biden on Inauguration Day.

02:56:53.000 Fifteen bucks.

02:56:55.000 Why would he even send that money?

02:57:00.000 It's right after January 6th pretty much too.

02:57:02.000 This is like 14 days, two weeks after January 6th.

02:57:05.000 He hated Trump and he hated his supporters for quite a while.

02:57:10.000 I want to see more of this come out and see if this is really the guy. 0.98

02:57:14.000 Yeah, I think, damn, this picture is going to live on in infamy. 0.98

02:57:20.000 I just posted a picture right now with Trump and obviously the American flag in the background and shit like that. 0.99

02:57:25.000 Like, yeah, dude, this is going to go down in history. 0.96

02:57:29.000 It looks like the cover of a textbook.

02:57:30.000 It looks like the cover of a video game.

02:57:32.000 It really is...

02:57:34.000 You know, that's a true patriot right there.

02:57:36.000 That's somebody that really loves America.

02:57:38.000 Even though, you know, I want to say this before we leave the call.

02:57:40.000 It's like, we all know that there's things that we disagree with Trump in, right? 0.95

02:57:43.000 And focusing on those mistakes right now is ridiculous.

02:57:47.000 This is clearly a patriot who loves this country, and that's undeniable. 0.93

02:57:50.000 This guy took a bullet for this country.

02:57:52.000 He doesn't need to be doing this right now.

02:57:54.000 He's a billionaire.

02:57:55.000 He's 78.

02:57:55.000 He has grandchildren.

02:57:57.000 But he's still in this race because there's no better option, and he clearly loves this country.

02:58:01.000 Yeah, no, absolutely.

02:58:02.000 I think people need to also understand that Trump didn't even take the presidential salary.

02:58:05.000 You know what I mean?

02:58:06.000 The guy doesn't need to do this.

02:58:08.000 So he's doing it because obviously he sees problems with the United States.

02:58:12.000 He thinks it's run by a bunch of bureaucrats, which it is.

02:58:14.000 And he has more of a business mindset when it comes to running the American...

02:58:19.000 Government, which I think did serve us pretty well from 2016 to 2020.

02:58:23.000 But then, you know, you got guys like Biden who are career-long politicians that have never done anything else and don't have any other outside experience in the private sector.

02:58:30.000 So, yeah, man.

02:58:32.000 This is obviously a historic day.

02:58:34.000 I think it's a W, even though it was a terrible event.

02:58:36.000 I think it was a W in general that, you know, he survived the shooting.

02:58:40.000 I think, if anything, he just won this. 1.00

02:58:43.000 Even fucking dumbass Hassan goes, Reagan landslide incoming. 1.00

02:58:46.000 Yeah, you're damn right, you fucking liberal idiot. 1.00

02:58:48.000 Damn right. 1.00

02:58:49.000 That it's going to be a landslide. 0.83

02:58:52.000 If you guys thought Biden had a chance, he definitely doesn't have one now.

02:58:55.000 We're talking about a guy who got indicted in four different jurisdictions.

02:58:59.000 He's the defendant in countless civil cases of allegations of everything from sexual misconduct to bad business practices, etc.

02:59:07.000 He got indicted for RICO in Georgia.

02:59:09.000 He got indicted for classified documents in Florida.

02:59:12.000 He got indicted for insurrection in D.C. He got indicted in New York and convicted for paying off Stormy Daniels.

02:59:18.000 And then now, Some weirdo person tried to assassinate him and failed.

02:59:23.000 Like, if there ever is going to be a landslide incoming, we're going to see probably one of the biggest voter turnouts ever.

02:59:28.000 And this assassination attempt cemented it.

02:59:30.000 Last time this happened was November 22, 1963.

02:59:33.000 And we know who died on that day and why he died.

02:59:36.000 So, yeah, man, this is crazy stuff.

02:59:38.000 I'm just happy that he's okay and nothing happened.

02:59:40.000 And I don't wish this on even...

02:59:42.000 You know, my worst political enemy or someone that I dislike.

02:59:45.000 Like I said before, I wish Biden a long and healthy life, you know, because an attack on one American politician is an attack on all.

02:59:52.000 Absolutely.

02:59:53.000 And I mean, it was already a landslide victory before then.

02:59:56.000 The debate solidified that.

02:59:57.000 If it wasn't a landslide after the debate, then this guarantees it.

03:00:00.000 He was already, I think, like 64% to Biden's 36 in terms of approval rating.

03:00:05.000 He didn't even need this, right?

03:00:06.000 This was not needed.

03:00:08.000 So for people that are saying this is staged, I'm seeing conspiracy theories, it doesn't make sense.

03:00:11.000 Yeah.

03:00:11.000 He doesn't need to win over anybody else.

03:00:13.000 It's already guaranteed.

03:00:14.000 There is no actual replacement on the Democratic Party.

03:00:18.000 There's no signs that point to that this was staged.

03:00:21.000 But I've seen some of the people like Agent 00, he said that this was staged.

03:00:25.000 I don't know if you've seen that yet.

03:00:26.000 He thinks that the photograph was too perfect for...

03:00:31.000 For his liking, but I think he retracted his statement.

03:00:33.000 But overall, it's already a guarantee. 1.00

03:00:35.000 He's an idiot. 1.00

03:00:36.000 Like, bro, I want to... 1.00

03:00:37.000 Look, a lot of you Canadians don't really have a seat at the table. 1.00

03:00:41.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

03:00:42.000 Like, seriously. 1.00

03:00:43.000 Like, you guys need to focus on your own problems. 1.00

03:00:45.000 Focus on Trudeau and your communist country, what you guys got, where you guys can barely afford a fucking coffee. 1.00

03:00:50.000 A Canadian dollar is worth fucking nothing right now. 1.00

03:00:52.000 So, I love it when these foreign nationals try to come in and give their shitty ass political takes as if we give a fuck what they think when they can't even vote. 1.00

03:00:59.000 Like, Agent's a fucking idiot. 1.00

03:01:01.000 He's getting out here getting bitched out by some mid-chick named Sin on his streams. 1.00

03:01:05.000 Like, he needs to shut the fuck up and just be quiet with his receding ass hairline. 1.00

03:01:08.000 Fucking idiot. 1.00

03:01:10.000 So, these guys, man, and I love my Canadians, but some of y'all, man, you guys give stupid fucking political takes and nobody gives a fuck about your opinion. 1.00

03:01:17.000 Shut up. 1.00

03:01:17.000 Focus on your own country. 1.00

03:01:18.000 You guys are into real shitter. 1.00

03:01:20.000 Canada's fucked. 1.00

03:01:20.000 You guys need to focus on getting Trudeau out of there. 1.00

03:01:23.000 I'm seeing a lot of people in, you know, the people that are really anti-Zionist.

03:01:26.000 I'm sure we have a crossover there, like in the UK and in Europe, these places like, how could you support Trump?

03:01:32.000 He takes money from Israel.

03:01:33.000 It's like, bro, like, we have a lot of issues in our country that's ridiculous for you to think that he's going to align with you completely. 0.98

03:01:39.000 For you to think that Trump is going to be like a free Palestine, like liberal on a college campus with a cafe is ridiculous. 0.97

03:01:47.000 There's much more going on. 0.96

03:01:48.000 Never.

03:01:49.000 And people got to understand that that's just the price of doing business in the United States if you're going to be a politician.

03:01:53.000 It is what it is.

03:01:54.000 You just got to pick the guy that's the best when it comes to dealing with it.

03:01:59.000 And I think in this situation, it's a no-brainer.

03:02:02.000 But yeah, of course this dude's going to say that.

03:02:04.000 Look, I'm all for conspiracy theories.

03:02:06.000 I'm all for thinking, you know, certain things happened.

03:02:08.000 But for anyone that thinks that this was staged or whatever, like, think of how preposterous that is. 0.85

03:02:13.000 Like, Trump's gonna sit there and say, okay, hey, I'm gonna coordinate with the shooter to shoot me millimeters away from my ear, by the way. 0.73

03:02:20.000 This guy who is a random that doesn't have any military training. 0.98

03:02:22.000 Yeah, I want you to shoot at me so I can go ahead and stage this perfect picture of me raising the fist after you missing your shot. 1.00

03:02:29.000 And then, by the way, you need to die at the end of this thing. 1.00

03:02:31.000 Like, no, dude, no. 0.99

03:02:32.000 Like, guys, I'm all for putting the tinfoil hats on, but sometimes you gotta be able to understand low IQ when it's being displayed.

03:02:38.000 And saying that this is a staged event is a low IQ situation.

03:02:41.000 Trump does not have much to benefit from saying, yo, let me go ahead and start a stage of my own assassination. 0.96

03:02:46.000 Absolutely ludicrous that people would even think that. 1.00

03:02:48.000 Idiots. 1.00

03:02:49.000 These tinfoil guys need to have a little bit of critical thinking skills and realize that, bro, this is way bigger. 1.00

03:02:55.000 It's just not something that's even feasible or possible.

03:02:58.000 Incredible.

03:02:58.000 It doesn't make any sense, and there's no motive.

03:03:01.000 I understand.

03:03:01.000 I'm willing to look into that, and obviously, whenever stuff like this happens, you question it, but it doesn't make any sense.

03:03:07.000 They found the shooter.

03:03:08.000 You could see the bullet midair.

03:03:10.000 There was casualties.

03:03:12.000 Some people died.

03:03:13.000 He died.

03:03:14.000 There's clearly a bullet wound in his ear that we could see.

03:03:17.000 He doesn't have anything to gain.

03:03:19.000 It doesn't make sense.

03:03:21.000 This doesn't help his case whatsoever.

03:03:23.000 Yeah.

03:03:23.000 Right.

03:03:24.000 It doesn't.

03:03:25.000 So, like, just for people to even insinuate that it's an insider thing or whatever, at least if you're going to talk 9-11, you're going to talk about JFK conspiracies, etc., there's an enormous amount of evidence to show that, you know, the conspiracy theorists aren't correct on a lot of the things.

03:03:39.000 But when it comes to this, there's no benefit for Trump to faking his own assassination like this and being millimeters away from his own death.

03:03:46.000 Like, no, dude. 1.00

03:03:47.000 Like, what the fuck? 0.99

03:03:47.000 It doesn't make sense. 0.99

03:03:48.000 Why would he take that risk when he's already up in the polls?

03:03:51.000 Everyone knew that after that debate, I think Trump pretty much solidified his victory.

03:03:57.000 Even the Democrats admitted it.

03:03:59.000 The Democrats had a round table after the debate.

03:04:01.000 They sat around and had a mental breakdown.

03:04:03.000 The Young Turks guy sat there, and he was just basically freaking out.

03:04:06.000 Like, who are we going to replace Trump with now?

03:04:08.000 It was already decided that it was a landslide victory.

03:04:11.000 So I don't know what other motivation he would have to do this.

03:04:15.000 And we're going to learn more soon.

03:04:18.000 But I'm interested to see.

03:04:20.000 I think that they tried to deactivate some of the shooters' social media accounts.

03:04:23.000 They're trying to cover up some things.

03:04:25.000 But I'd be curious because, again, look at the archetype.

03:04:28.000 Have you seen the way this guy looks?

03:04:30.000 He looks exactly like Penguin Zero.

03:04:33.000 He looks exactly like Hasanabe.

03:04:34.000 He looks exactly like everybody that makes Soyboy documentaries on us.

03:04:37.000 He looks identical.

03:04:40.000 I tried to get rid of this because I think that physiognomy is funny, but sometimes it can get too hatred.

03:04:46.000 But this guy clearly, he fits the mold of everybody.

03:04:49.000 I bet if you look at his social media, he follows not only all of our haters, but he probably hated us.

03:04:54.000 I would put money that he hated Fresh and Fit, he hated Sneeko.

03:04:59.000 No, absolutely, man.

03:05:01.000 Absolutely, they always do.

03:05:02.000 Someone is saying here, uh...

03:05:05.000 Shooter may be 30-year-old Antifa rioter Maxwell Yurik?

03:05:07.000 What?

03:05:10.000 Let's see here.

03:05:11.000 Yeah, um... 0.99

03:05:12.000 Yeah, Penguin's a loser. 0.99

03:05:13.000 This is from WPXI News. 1.00

03:05:15.000 Penguin's a loser, guys. 0.86

03:05:18.000 Unlimited L's just posted on X a video of Thomas Crooks. 0.99

03:05:20.000 It's not Thomas Crooks.

03:05:22.000 Chat, tell Myron. 1.00

03:05:24.000 This dude is spamming this shit. 1.00

03:05:26.000 Uh... 1.00

03:05:27.000 Let me see here.

03:05:27.000 I don't think so.

03:05:28.000 Unlimited L. Let's see if it's...

03:05:30.000 Nowhere in this article says that it's not Thomas Crooks.

03:05:34.000 Okay, let's see.

03:05:35.000 Unlimited L's.

03:05:38.000 Yeah, no one in this article does say that.

03:05:42.000 Yeah, it doesn't say...

03:05:43.000 Yeah, I don't see that. 0.99

03:05:45.000 I don't know what the fuck... 0.98

03:05:45.000 Someone found his Twitter account. 0.98

03:05:52.000 Yeah.

03:05:54.000 Don't see it.

03:05:56.000 Are you going to jump on and do something with these guys, with Zerka and Hinkle?

03:06:02.000 Yeah, I just called Zerka.

03:06:04.000 He said that he left and that they left and came back.

03:06:07.000 But yeah, I'm down to that.

03:06:09.000 I don't think that they're too far away.

03:06:10.000 They're staying in Brickell right now.

03:06:13.000 Wait, where are they?

03:06:14.000 Hold on.

03:06:14.000 Where are they at?

03:06:15.000 They're in Brickell?

03:06:17.000 Yeah, they're both in brick right now.

03:06:18.000 They were tweeting and stuff, but I was pretty locked in, so I didn't get the chance to call.

03:06:22.000 But I'm down to link up some stuff if you guys want to do something.

03:06:25.000 We should do something tonight, man. 0.97

03:06:26.000 I mean, we should fucking go do a fucking stream right now. 0.99

03:06:29.000 I think the people would like it. 1.00

03:06:31.000 Tell their asses to go over to your house or some shit. 1.00

03:06:33.000 I'm down to do it. 1.00

03:06:34.000 I'm down to do it.

03:06:35.000 And again, also, doesn't this prove how important Rumble is in a time like this?

03:06:41.000 Again, Trump is a Rumble streamer.

03:06:42.000 Chad, you guys want that? 0.99

03:06:43.000 You guys want us to do a fucking mega stream with all the boys on fucking Rumble? 0.99

03:06:46.000 You guys want that? 0.99

03:06:48.000 Yeah, let's fucking do it. 1.00

03:06:49.000 They've been begging for it all day. 1.00

03:06:52.000 Alright, tell these fucks, let's call these guys, let's set it up, let's do it fucking tonight, man. 0.99

03:06:56.000 We could do it here in the studio, we could do it over there, we could stream it everywhere, we could do it on your stream. 0.99

03:06:59.000 We could also do it on Discord, too. 1.00

03:07:02.000 Fuck it, bro. 1.00

03:07:02.000 I got a studio. 1.00

03:07:03.000 Let's fucking do it here, man. 0.99

03:07:04.000 Yeah, you got a studio. 0.99

03:07:06.000 I've been bringing Zerker in a lot here.

03:07:07.000 I just chain-smoked cigarettes the whole time.

03:07:09.000 My apartment stinks, so I'm trying to...

03:07:10.000 Discord, I don't have to smell the cigs.

03:07:12.000 Yeah, it's fine.

03:07:13.000 Just tell me not to smoke. 0.99

03:07:15.000 Yeah, you guys all fucking pull up here. 0.99

03:07:16.000 I'll create another Rumble stream, and we'll fucking do this shit right now with the people, man. 0.99

03:07:19.000 I got a studio. 0.99

03:07:19.000 I'll set up four chairs. 0.99

03:07:20.000 I'll fucking set this shit up. 1.00

03:07:21.000 Let's do it. 1.00

03:07:22.000 Alright, the spam and W. Everybody wants it.

03:07:24.000 Everybody wants it.

03:07:26.000 I just texted Zerka to make sure.

03:07:29.000 But yeah, a good stream with...

03:07:30.000 I didn't get a chance to watch your Chris Pawlowski stream yesterday.

03:07:34.000 This is the perfect example of how important Rumble is today.

03:07:39.000 Today, all these people, you see the difference in the mainstream narrative.

03:07:42.000 And then you see the narrative about people that actually believe in free speech.

03:07:45.000 And again, when people ask who's the biggest Rumble streamer, it's Donald Trump.

03:07:49.000 Donald Trump is the biggest Rumble streamer.

03:07:51.000 He's not on any of these other platforms.

03:07:53.000 He's banned just like us.

03:07:54.000 Yep.

03:07:54.000 And he uses this to go in...

03:07:55.000 All of his rallies are broadcasted here.

03:07:57.000 I think the assassination attempt was broadcasted on Rumble.

03:08:01.000 Nah, absolutely, man. 1.00

03:08:02.000 It's crazy shit, man. 1.00

03:08:04.000 It's definitely wild. 1.00

03:08:06.000 What about shit? 1.00

03:08:07.000 Okay, let me try to... 1.00

03:08:09.000 I'm going to try to see if I can get Mo here or somebody to help out with this shit behind the scenes. 0.96

03:08:13.000 Actually, or maybe Chris. 1.00

03:08:14.000 We can do this shit. 1.00

03:08:16.000 Um... 1.00

03:08:17.000 Here, you know what?

03:08:18.000 Do me a favor, bro.

03:08:19.000 Call Zerker right now on the line.

03:08:21.000 I don't know if he's going to...

03:08:23.000 Actually, I can add him to the call.

03:08:24.000 Let's see.

03:08:25.000 Add him to the call.

03:08:26.000 Yeah.

03:08:28.000 I'll add him on...

03:08:29.000 He's always on Discord.

03:08:29.000 Discord's on his phone, so...

03:08:30.000 Okay, it's going to...

03:08:31.000 So you're new to Discord, but it's going to create a new call.

03:08:34.000 Just join the new call, okay?

03:08:36.000 All right, that's fine.

03:08:37.000 While you do that, I'll...

03:08:38.000 Yeah.

03:08:41.000 All right, guys.

03:08:41.000 Sorry, I'm a boomer, but I think I can figure this out.

03:08:46.000 It's Kwon Zerker right now.

03:08:47.000 Yeah, chat, we'll see if we can get this going for y'all.

03:09:14.000 I'm gonna join video call.

03:09:17.000 He's here?

03:09:19.000 No, I don't think he accepted the call.

03:09:22.000 Let's see.

03:09:23.000 Maybe he's doing the Zerka things. 1.00

03:09:26.000 Call Hinkle. 1.00

03:09:28.000 We're all in fucking Miami. 0.99

03:09:29.000 We should have been doing this. 1.00

03:09:30.000 What the fuck are we doing? 0.95

03:09:33.000 Yeah, you know, panels are good, but also solo streams are fun too. 0.98

03:09:38.000 Yeah, but panels are always better.

03:09:40.000 That's what the people want.

03:09:42.000 People want content.

03:09:44.000 Yeah, but they prefer if it's with all of us together.

03:09:48.000 That's what the people want.

03:09:49.000 We got what?

03:09:50.000 I got 12, almost 20,000 watching.

03:09:54.000 You got another 13, 14 watching?

03:09:55.000 You should cut off the YouTube one to be careful.

03:09:59.000 Eh, I guess I could.

03:10:02.000 I forget that you're on YouTube.

03:10:04.000 It's actually refreshing to hear YouTube, Myron, because you sound completely different.

03:10:08.000 When you're on Rumble, you come on here, what's up, waggots? 1.00

03:10:11.000 It's the first thing you say.

03:10:12.000 When you're on YouTube, it's like you're more articulate, there's less cursing.

03:10:17.000 I've been keeping it very analytical. 0.99

03:10:19.000 I've been in Twitter spaces all day trying to sound professional, so I don't come off as some crazy fuck. 0.96

03:10:23.000 Because obviously on Twitter, it's way more political, so I've been in a bunch of Twitter spaces. 0.95

03:10:27.000 Bro, there were 62,000 people earlier Nick Fuentes, the Tate brothers, PBD was in there.

03:10:33.000 Alex Jones, yeah, I saw the Krasentine, the Jews. 1.00

03:10:36.000 Yeah, of course.

03:10:36.000 How was that?

03:10:36.000 What was the overall consensus in the space?

03:10:38.000 I didn't get to tune into that.

03:10:40.000 The overall thing is that, obviously, it's a wild day, right, that, you know, someone would actually try to attack a president in 2024.

03:10:49.000 You know, I gave more of my background as far as, like, you know, the monumental failure from the Secret Service perspective, and other people were giving their different takes on things.

03:10:58.000 So...

03:10:59.000 What was Tate's name?

03:11:01.000 Tate probably put the three attempts on your live, the life thing. 0.98

03:11:06.000 I think you made a tweet about that, yeah.

03:11:08.000 And then Alex Jones was saying that Trump should stay and do everything virtually from now on, which I disagree with.

03:11:13.000 I think, if anything, that needs to galvanate him even more to be out there even more so.

03:11:17.000 Oh, yeah.

03:11:18.000 He can't do that.

03:11:19.000 He can't show.

03:11:19.000 That shows weakness.

03:11:20.000 They already tried to shoot him.

03:11:22.000 Are they really going to try to do it again?

03:11:24.000 He should definitely just go out with more security.

03:11:27.000 And then, yeah, he should go to UFC tomorrow.

03:11:30.000 But it actually is alarming, I have to admit, I've been to a lot of Trump rallies.

03:11:33.000 I went to one in Vegas, and it was, like, the security was good, but it's like, I remember thinking at that event, it was only 200 people, it was like a private dinner.

03:11:41.000 Strickland was there, the North Boise people, that's where Strickland asked me to spar.

03:11:45.000 And at this, I was like, if I wanted to, like, if I was an enemy of Trump, it wouldn't be that difficult.

03:11:50.000 And again, there was another one at the UFC. I was able to stand right next to him.

03:11:54.000 And even then, I've seen some people put their arm around him.

03:11:57.000 I should not be able to put my arm around Donald Trump.

03:12:00.000 There should be somebody separating that.

03:12:02.000 I shouldn't be able to get that close.

03:12:03.000 If I really wanted to do something, when I was a kid, I thought it would be impossible.

03:12:12.000 All these times, I've been in many, many rallies.

03:12:15.000 I'm like, there's not that much barrier of security as I thought there would be.

03:12:20.000 Yeah, no.

03:12:21.000 I mean, he doesn't have the same level of security as, you know, a sitting president would.

03:12:24.000 I'm on Twitter right now.

03:12:25.000 Steven Crowder said, Mug Club Undercover was en route to the residence of suspected shooter and look what we found.

03:12:30.000 Let me look at this.

03:12:30.000 All right.

03:12:31.000 Have a go.

03:12:32.000 Let's play this.

03:12:33.000 Excuse me.

03:12:35.000 What's going on?

03:12:36.000 I have no idea.

03:12:38.000 What?

03:12:38.000 I can't go down the road?

03:12:39.000 Nope.

03:12:40.000 Why not?

03:12:41.000 Because I was told to close it.

03:12:42.000 What's that?

03:12:43.000 Because I was told to close it.

03:12:45.000 Okay.

03:12:45.000 Are you Secret Service?

03:12:47.000 No, I'm not.

03:12:48.000 You're not.

03:12:48.000 I wish you would quit photographing me.

03:12:50.000 Well, I'm allowed to, sir.

03:12:51.000 Well, you can move on, too.

03:12:53.000 I can, but I'm allowed to photograph.

03:12:55.000 You can get out of the way.

03:12:57.000 I got traffic coming.

03:12:58.000 You can go.

03:12:59.000 I'll go.

03:13:00.000 See, I told you they were going to be doing search warrants on his house.

03:13:03.000 See, boom. 0.93

03:13:04.000 They got the road already closed off. 1.00

03:13:05.000 You can't even get into his fucking neighborhood. 0.99

03:13:07.000 So, I don't know if you heard that, Sneeko. 1.00

03:13:09.000 Yeah, I can hear it.

03:13:10.000 So they went to his neighborhood.

03:13:11.000 This is crazy, though.

03:13:12.000 What a seating crowd was Minions, which drove all the way to this guy's...

03:13:15.000 Well, he's probably based in Pennsylvania.

03:13:18.000 It's probably one of their Mug Club undercover guys.

03:13:20.000 So they have like a bunch of people all over the country.

03:13:21.000 So he went over there.

03:13:23.000 Oh, the FBI finally identified...

03:13:25.000 Okay, so the FBI... It was the sore boy.

03:13:29.000 Yeah, he looks exactly like Penguin Zero, huh?

03:13:34.000 Yeah, so the FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the subject involved in the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.

03:13:41.000 This remains an active and ongoing investigation of annual information. 1.00

03:13:44.000 So all you fucking trolls in this chat, shut the fuck up! 1.00

03:13:46.000 It's officially Thomas Matthew Crooks. 1.00

03:13:50.000 For all you fucking idiots. 1.00

03:13:53.000 Identified by the FBI, I think that's enough information so the dorks in the chat can shut the fuck up now. 1.00

03:13:57.000 Also, your camera's off. 0.99

03:13:59.000 Oh, is my camera off? 1.00

03:14:00.000 Oh, shit. 0.99

03:14:01.000 OK, sorry, Chad. 1.00

03:14:02.000 OK, confirmed by the FBI.

03:14:07.000 So did an respond.

03:14:09.000 It still looks off for me.

03:14:11.000 There's a bit of a rumble delay, but it still looks off for me.

03:14:13.000 I got it back on now.

03:14:15.000 Sorry.

03:14:15.000 Okay.

03:14:16.000 So as a former Fed, what is the protocol right now? 0.98

03:14:19.000 You find a crazed shooter like this definitely mentally ill. 0.71

03:14:23.000 Do you hide his social media? 0.94

03:14:24.000 Do you go and scrape that and wipe all of that so that people can't find it out?

03:14:28.000 What's the next step once you know who the shooter is?

03:14:31.000 Okay.

03:14:32.000 So you mean from the law enforcement perspective?

03:14:34.000 Right.

03:14:34.000 Okay, so if I was the case agent, I'd really like that you asked me this question.

03:14:37.000 If I was the case agent and I was assigned this investigation, the first thing I would do is I would write up a search warrant for his house, right?

03:14:43.000 I'd be scouring the house.

03:14:45.000 Obviously, when he was killed, but I would search his person, try to see if he had a phone on him.

03:14:51.000 If not, if he was smart, he'd probably leave his phone back at his house.

03:14:53.000 I'd write a search warrant for the house, and I'd write a search warrant for the phone.

03:14:56.000 And you'd hook up the phone to something called a Cellbrite.

03:14:59.000 Cellbrite will, you know...

03:15:00.000 Put it on an automatic thing where it extracts the data.

03:15:03.000 If there's a code on it and they don't know the code, I'll try to maybe get a loved one to give me the code.

03:15:06.000 If not, then I would go ahead and get...

03:15:09.000 I would use a subwrite to break the code, etc.

03:15:12.000 That might take several days or weeks depending on what type of phone he has.

03:15:15.000 But I would get into the phone and do a search on his house.

03:15:18.000 That's going to reveal a lot of the stuff because if you want to find a manifesto or any of that stuff, it's probably going to be located there.

03:15:23.000 Next, I'd want to interview, obviously, his family, all of his close friends, look into any type of organizations or clubs he was a part of, and interview all those people as well.

03:15:31.000 I mean, make no mistake about it, guys.

03:15:32.000 This is going to be a massive, massive investigation with all of the agencies involved.

03:15:37.000 The reason why the FBI took lead on an investigation like this is because Secret Service simply doesn't have the investigative prowess or ability or resources to do something like this.

03:15:45.000 So, that's what it is.

03:15:48.000 Okay, but is it important for them to try to hide his social media presence so that people don't try to associate his ideologies with the shooter or with something crazy?

03:15:58.000 Is that on their list of to-dos?

03:16:01.000 Say that again?

03:16:03.000 Is part of their protocol erasing his social media so that people don't attach any political ideas to the shooter?

03:16:11.000 Do they care what's on his social media publicly?

03:16:13.000 No.

03:16:14.000 No, because the thing is, is you're just going to write paper for it.

03:16:17.000 And what writing paper for it means is you're going to do a subpoena, then a search warrant on all of his social medias.

03:16:22.000 So you'll have access to all of his DMs, all that stuff.

03:16:25.000 Okay, but why did they hide that trans shooter, the trans shooter's manifesto who shot up the church?

03:16:33.000 There's a multitude of different reasons why they could have done that.

03:16:35.000 That could have been by the prosecutor saying, hey, I don't want them to have this.

03:16:38.000 It could be so many different reasons why.

03:16:42.000 Obviously, they got the manifesto, but it still took them forever to finally put it out.

03:16:48.000 But that's like a case agent basis.

03:16:50.000 Every case agent is different.

03:16:51.000 Some guys are okay with releasing information. 0.85

03:16:53.000 Other guys are like, no, I don't want to fucking release the information.

03:16:56.000 It really is a case-by-case basis based on who it is.

03:17:00.000 Okay, and do you think...

03:17:02.000 What cover-up do you think they're doing right now?

03:17:06.000 So how much do you think that they're hiding publicly that they already know?

03:17:10.000 I mean, they're going to run them through their database for sure.

03:17:13.000 And they're going to probably see if there were any other run-ins with this guy.

03:17:17.000 Do a background check and everything else like that.

03:17:18.000 So yeah, look, five minutes ago, FBI identifies Thomas Matthew Crooks as subject involved. 0.98

03:17:22.000 So all of you guys in the chat that are fucking, you know... 0.98

03:17:26.000 Saying all this bullshit about, oh, yo, it's not him. 1.00

03:17:30.000 It's all a troll. 1.00

03:17:31.000 It is him, guys, so shut the fuck up. 1.00

03:17:33.000 For all the idiots out there that's talking about him. 1.00

03:17:34.000 Well, that's his name, but I think that there's some disagreements about the picture of the guy. 0.99

03:17:38.000 People are sending me a different picture.

03:17:39.000 The one that we see on the timeline, the one that looks like Penguin, maybe that's not him.

03:17:44.000 Yeah, literally all the news medias right now are saying that it was, it's Thomas Matthew Crooks.

03:17:49.000 It's Thomas Crooks?

03:17:50.000 Yep.

03:17:50.000 Okay, I found, someone sent me his graduation video, and it was like from Bethel, Pennsylvania.

03:17:55.000 We watched it like he's on stage accepting his diploma, but maybe it could be another Thomas Crooks.

03:17:59.000 It did look like him, same hair, all this stuff.

03:18:01.000 The website literally crashed.

03:18:02.000 FBI.gov slash Butler, which is their official website.

03:18:05.000 Okay, it's back up now.

03:18:08.000 FBI.gov went down?

03:18:10.000 No, no, FBI.gov slash Butler.

03:18:12.000 No, it's up.

03:18:13.000 It's up.

03:18:14.000 It's works.

03:18:14.000 I'm sorry.

03:18:14.000 But I'm trying to find where they identified him as the fucking guy.

03:18:19.000 But it's coming officially. 0.99

03:18:21.000 Yeah, it's Thomas.

03:18:23.000 It's this Crooks guy. 1.00

03:18:24.000 So everyone's saying in the chat, saying all this bullshit. 1.00

03:18:27.000 You guys are idiots. 1.00

03:18:28.000 What's the source? 1.00

03:18:30.000 USA Today has it.

03:18:31.000 Routers.

03:18:32.000 Everyone.

03:18:33.000 New York Post.

03:18:34.000 So USA Today, four minutes ago...

03:18:41.000 UTAE, NBC News five minutes ago.

03:18:43.000 Yeah.

03:18:44.000 Pretty much a bunch of the major outlets are saying that it was him.

03:18:48.000 Let's see if Fox News, what they got.

03:18:49.000 They probably are going to put it out too.

03:18:53.000 Some people are saying that, have you seen this guy Maxwell Yurik?

03:18:57.000 Maxwell Yurik?

03:18:58.000 That's what some people are saying.

03:18:59.000 I'll send you this, I'll put it in your chat.

03:19:04.000 Okay, so Fox News Live now.

03:19:05.000 Okay, they got a commercial break going, so I'll pause that.

03:19:09.000 Yeah, click this link from your chat.

03:19:13.000 And again, guys, I make fun of the mainstream media all the time.

03:19:16.000 However, with certain things, they're going to be on point with because they have sources, etc. 0.88

03:19:20.000 How they break down the news is stupid, but actually reporting of the news of who the person is, that's different. 0.97

03:19:28.000 They're circling his ear or something. 0.99

03:19:30.000 I mean, it seems like the name...

03:19:32.000 Well...

03:19:33.000 Yeah, I don't know...

03:19:38.000 It was from routers.

03:19:39.000 A lot of credible sources are saying the news reports are wrong.

03:19:45.000 But also at the same time, why are we believing the mainstream media for anything?

03:19:48.000 A lot of it is in the mainstream media.

03:19:50.000 The New York Post, TMZ. And also NBC wants him to be a Republican.

03:19:58.000 Of course.

03:19:59.000 You're saying he registered as a Republican.

03:20:01.000 That was the first thing you said.

03:20:02.000 That seems very convenient from their end.

03:20:04.000 Someone sent me his voter registration.

03:20:11.000 Thomas Crooks is a registered Republican.

03:20:16.000 I don't know.

03:20:16.000 Hmm.

03:20:19.000 Yeah, there's this video here of him receiving his diploma.

03:20:24.000 more.

03:20:25.000 Thank you. 1.00

03:20:28.000 Yeah, someone posted that shit, yep. 1.00

03:20:30.000 Oh, you see that? 1.00

03:20:31.000 Okay, I want an official statement from the FBI. I think I'd be fully satisfied.

03:20:37.000 Yeah, some people are saying it's Maxwell Yurik.

03:20:42.000 Michael, isn't it Michael Urich?

03:20:44.000 They're saying Maxwell Urich.

03:20:47.000 But even FBI is saying who he is.

03:20:53.000 Yeah, and it's funny that it's like U.S. News is saying that.

03:20:56.000 I don't know who this Urich guy is coming from.

03:20:58.000 And his, um, what's his name?

03:21:01.000 Is Thomas actually confirmed, like, registered Republican?

03:21:04.000 Yeah, someone sent me his registration, Pennsylvania registration.

03:21:08.000 Wow.

03:21:11.000 People are saying that you posted a video or whatever.

03:21:15.000 And I'm still only registered in New Hampshire for when I voted for Trump in 2016.

03:21:19.000 I'm a registered Republican in New Hampshire.

03:21:20.000 Ha! 0.89

03:21:22.000 Nice.

03:21:24.000 I was knocking on doors.

03:21:25.000 When Trump won in 2016, my whole school was crying.

03:21:28.000 Teachers called in therapy dogs.

03:21:30.000 There was a kumbaya circle.

03:21:33.000 People looked at me.

03:21:34.000 It's funny that this...

03:21:36.000 Well, it's not funny, but ironic in a way.

03:21:38.000 I remember walking in when Trump won, people looked at me with murder in their eyes.

03:21:42.000 Of course.

03:22:03.000 They think that life is over.

03:22:05.000 They want my head on a stick.

03:22:06.000 So this doesn't surprise me at all.

03:22:09.000 What did surprise me a little bit is how quick people were to celebrate and to immediately...

03:22:14.000 If Trump was assassinated, think about what would have been trending on TikTok.

03:22:18.000 People would have been doing dances. 0.80

03:22:20.000 There would have been a dance mocking the bullet that went into his head.

03:22:23.000 Yeah, no, you're right.

03:22:24.000 They would have. 1.00

03:22:24.000 They absolutely would have those fucking shitbags. 1.00

03:22:26.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

03:22:27.000 And that's kind of the problem with the radical left, man, is that they're willing to, like, enact violence.

03:22:32.000 You look at groups like Antifa, et cetera, like, you know, it's just crazy. 0.98

03:22:38.000 BLM, Antifa, all these people, like, they'll literally, like, start fires and all this other bullshit. 0.85

03:22:42.000 And people will say, oh, well, yeah, there's people on the radical right, too. 0.93

03:22:44.000 But guess what?

03:22:45.000 It's the radical left that is way more likely to enact violence.

03:22:48.000 You know, mass-scale violence.

03:22:49.000 You look at the BLM riots setting cities on fire, etc. 1.00

03:22:52.000 It's not Republicans doing that shit. 1.00

03:22:53.000 It's fucking Democrats. 1.00

03:22:55.000 No, it's Antifa. 1.00

03:22:56.000 And they tried to apply the same, you know, the same rage and the same instability that these leftists have to the January 6th.

03:23:03.000 But we actually look at what happened on January 6th from the Trump loyalists.

03:23:06.000 They were walking around and they're being escorted by police.

03:23:09.000 They're not Antifa burning down police stations.

03:23:11.000 Even in 1980, when John Letton was assassinated, it was a crazed liberal.

03:23:15.000 The same person who tried on Ronald Reagan's life was a crazed liberal.

03:23:19.000 It's because they appeal to emotion because a lot of these people are on medications.

03:23:23.000 Absolutely.

03:23:24.000 Oh, Zerka's in here. 0.95

03:23:25.000 What's up, Zerka?

03:23:26.000 What's up, guys?

03:23:27.000 You got your camera?

03:23:29.000 Yeah, sir.

03:23:30.000 Yeah, we're trying to start a panel.

03:23:31.000 Are you still with Jackson?

03:23:33.000 No.

03:23:34.000 Where's he at?

03:23:37.000 Home.

03:23:39.000 Is he coming back?

03:23:41.000 I don't think so.

03:23:43.000 He didn't think you guys would call.

03:23:45.000 I texted him, but we could do us three.

03:23:50.000 Yeah, because I was going to do a panel show, man.

03:23:53.000 I think that people want that.

03:23:56.000 Yeah, that'd be good.

03:24:00.000 Turn that camera on.

03:24:02.000 Yeah, my camera's on.

03:24:03.000 Yo, Myers.

03:24:04.000 Yo.

03:24:05.000 You've worked Secret Service before?

03:24:08.000 I've done Secret Service details.

03:24:09.000 I didn't work for Secret Service, but I've done their details.

03:24:12.000 Oh, wow.

03:24:13.000 Yeah.

03:24:15.000 So that's kind of...

03:24:17.000 So I'm familiar with how they work and everything else like that. 0.99

03:24:20.000 But yeah, this shit was a big L for Secret Service in general. 0.99

03:24:23.000 What, they dropped the ball or inside drop? 1.00

03:24:25.000 Nah, they dropped the ball, bro.

03:24:27.000 100% dropped the ball.

03:24:28.000 They don't have enough people.

03:24:30.000 They've been chronically understaffed for years.

03:24:33.000 Little kept dirty secret on Secret Service.

03:24:36.000 They've been understaffed for a while.

03:24:38.000 Why are they understaffed?

03:24:39.000 Is the pay that bad?

03:24:40.000 No, they get paid a hundred plus.

03:24:42.000 They actually make more than most special agents, bro, because they're one of the few agencies that gets overtime.

03:24:48.000 I don't know if you want me to do a whole fucking breakdown of how you get paid by the feds, but if I'm going to just summarize it nice and shortly and succinctly, Secret Service agents are one of the few 1811s that get overtime.

03:24:59.000 So they actually get paid more than a lot of other 1811s. 0.97

03:25:02.000 Hell, one of the few times that I got overtime when I was an agent was when I did Secret Service details because the hours are so fucking weird.

03:25:08.000 So it's not pay. 0.99

03:25:09.000 It's just that the job sucks. 1.00

03:25:09.000 It's miserable. 1.00

03:25:10.000 You're sitting around in random areas, you know, for a security purpose, and it just sucks.

03:25:15.000 Like, they have the highest divorce rates of any agency.

03:25:18.000 They have some of the worst quantities of life when it comes to work-life balance.

03:25:21.000 So you're traveling all the time. 0.99

03:25:23.000 It just sucks. 0.95

03:25:25.000 What if you do a breakdown on the pay? 0.97

03:25:27.000 I want to figure out why it's so understaffed because seeing that I'm like why there's so many women like I might even try to make this like a red pill talking point but there should not be this many women doing security detail like that. 0.99

03:25:38.000 Well there's there's um there's high incentives to get women into law enforcement. 1.00

03:25:42.000 There's like women only uh diversity higher positions made for all of them. 1.00

03:25:47.000 FBI does it.

03:25:48.000 Homeland Security does it.

03:25:49.000 Secret Service does it.

03:25:50.000 They all do it to get more women into law enforcement. 1.00

03:25:53.000 Trump has a problem getting women, so it's a better look for him, right? 0.96

03:25:57.000 I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't purposely put some females on his Secret Service detail. 0.61

03:26:01.000 The president does get to choose that type of stuff.

03:26:03.000 So, I wouldn't be surprised if he did that more from, like, an inclusion standpoint, because optics are very important to politicians.

03:26:08.000 So, like, to show you guys, right, the GS scale...

03:26:11.000 I'll go ahead and pull it up on my screen real fast for you ninjas.

03:26:14.000 We'll go into a little quick thing of how you get paid by the feds.

03:26:17.000 Well, if my Google work...

03:26:18.000 That is... 0.99

03:26:19.000 What the fuck is... 1.00

03:26:21.000 OPM... Okay. 1.00

03:26:25.000 So, the way it goes is, right, you go, let's go with fucking, you know, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, right? 0.98

03:26:34.000 The thing. 0.96

03:26:34.000 So, most agents get hired, this is the scale right here, right, guys, right? 0.96

03:26:39.000 Most agents get hired somewhere between a seven or a nine.

03:26:42.000 Typically, when you get hired as a seven, you know, you got a bachelor's degree, and if you get a nine, that's typically if you have some advanced degree, master degree, whatever.

03:26:47.000 So, you can see our step one is 60,597, right?

03:26:50.000 Okay.

03:26:51.000 But you always get 25% added on as base salary, right?

03:26:55.000 So 60,597 times 0.25 equals 15K. So you add 15,149 plus 60...

03:27:07.000 597.

03:27:08.000 So that's a starting salary of about $75,000 for an agent that comes in as a GS-9.

03:27:14.000 Or if you come in as a GS-7, you know, 25% add that on, right?

03:27:18.000 And then every year that you work on, you go from, you know, 9 to 10 to 11, 12, 13, right?

03:27:24.000 And every agency is differently.

03:27:25.000 For FBI, for example, you get hired on as a 10.

03:27:27.000 No matter what, you get hired as a 10.

03:27:29.000 Other agencies, they might hire you on as a 7 or sometimes even a 5.

03:27:33.000 But you get 25% of your base salary, right?

03:27:36.000 Add it to it, and that's something called LEAP, Law Enforcement Availability Pay, right?

03:27:40.000 Which is...

03:27:41.000 And that's given to all...

03:27:47.000 All special agents.

03:27:49.000 Leap.

03:27:49.000 And you get to take home car, too.

03:27:51.000 Where was the majority of the incompetence?

03:27:53.000 Was it them not clocking the roof?

03:27:55.000 Was it them taking too long to neutralize the shooter?

03:27:58.000 All of it.

03:27:58.000 Was it not surveying the area?

03:28:00.000 It was just a complete incompetence altogether?

03:28:02.000 Altogether.

03:28:03.000 Like, not covering the roof, and then that's going to lead to other opportunities for the shooter.

03:28:07.000 Like, incompetence breeds, you know, opportunity for an assassin like this.

03:28:11.000 So, yeah.

03:28:12.000 All of it.

03:28:13.000 Did you see even some of the Trump supporters were able to clock him first?

03:28:16.000 They were filming, they're like, there's a gun, there's a gun!

03:28:18.000 Some people were able to, they even saw the guy, I think they saw him climbing up.

03:28:22.000 They were able to see him before Secret Service. 0.94

03:28:24.000 That seems absolutely ridiculous. 0.59

03:28:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.79

03:28:27.000 Because they were in the back and they saw him like, you know, bear crawling up there. 1.00

03:28:30.000 So, and they said, hey, hey, what the fuck, what the fuck? 0.99

03:28:33.000 But obviously, right, like I said before, they were telling the police this. 0.99

03:28:36.000 We don't know exactly who they were telling this, if it was a police officer or a Secret Service agent.

03:28:39.000 But the police a lot of times are going to be like, well, you know, is this a credible threat? 0.99

03:28:42.000 What the fuck is these guys yelling? 1.00

03:28:43.000 Because remember, at these rallies, people say stupid shit all the time. 1.00

03:28:46.000 So, who knows? 1.00

03:28:48.000 But obviously, you know, after it happened, the shots were fired and they retaliated pretty quickly.

03:28:53.000 But, you know, luckily, Trump wasn't killed.

03:28:57.000 Yeah, very well.

03:28:58.000 It became inches close.

03:29:00.000 Yeah, dude. 1.00

03:29:01.000 Crazy shit. 1.00

03:29:02.000 Inches close. 1.00

03:29:02.000 What do you think about the responses to everybody? 1.00

03:29:05.000 Did you see Elon respond?

03:29:07.000 Did you see Jeff Bezos, Destiny, all the streamers responded?

03:29:11.000 What's your overall take on the response?

03:29:13.000 Did you expect this?

03:29:14.000 Yeah, I mean, Trump won.

03:29:16.000 He won, and he didn't even need this to win, but 100% landslide.

03:29:21.000 I'm thinking the response is if his head did get blown off.

03:29:26.000 You're right, they'd be making TikTok dances.

03:29:29.000 We forget how evil this side is, man.

03:29:31.000 Our evil isn't in foreign countries.

03:29:34.000 It's like right here.

03:29:37.000 It's really insane, though.

03:29:38.000 Their ideas of evil are racist comments or so-called homophobic comments.

03:29:44.000 But when it comes to wishing death or publicly making dances about bullets going to the former president's brain, they don't think that's evil.

03:29:52.000 But they think one racist, something that they call misogynistic, is literally worse than wishing death on someone and their entire family.

03:30:01.000 The metrics of evil have been exposed.

03:30:05.000 Anyone else feel like this is the start of the civil war?

03:30:10.000 No, I don't think so.

03:30:11.000 I don't think so.

03:30:14.000 I mean, what's very telling is that here in Miami right now, if the bullet went a little bit to the right, and it actually really damaged Trump, right now we would hear something outside.

03:30:24.000 Right now, I think that people would be taking to the streets.

03:30:26.000 No, but when you look at the...

03:30:28.000 Did you see the response of the Trump supporters against the media where they're spazzing at the media's face?

03:30:34.000 Yeah, you're going to see a lot more of that, and you're going to see riots now, for sure, 100%.

03:30:40.000 Because Americans are already fed up, but now it seems like it is a scary place where it's like now anything they do is kind of like, hey, you guys shot first, you know?

03:30:52.000 Myron, what do you think?

03:30:53.000 I don't think it's going to get as bad as it should.

03:30:55.000 I'm not saying it should be bad, but I don't think that we're really going to see that amount of protests.

03:31:00.000 I think Trump's going to bounce back well.

03:31:01.000 I think he did a good job of...

03:31:04.000 You know, showing a moment of strength so people aren't worried at all.

03:31:07.000 And if he didn't show that moment of strength, I think there might be more concern.

03:31:12.000 There's going to be more people at the rallies for sure.

03:31:15.000 No, but the energy is shifting.

03:31:16.000 The energy now is fight, fight, fight.

03:31:19.000 And this is the most emotionally charged Americans have been in ever, really, right? 0.99

03:31:25.000 So we're going to see a lot of crazy shit at these events. 0.98

03:31:31.000 Well, if it's war, then what retaliation do you expect? 0.99

03:31:34.000 Because they cast the first stone.

03:31:35.000 What do you think?

03:31:36.000 Alex Jones said it best.

03:31:38.000 Now someone's going to try on Biden, and that's how it goes, right?

03:31:42.000 You think so?

03:31:43.000 I highly doubt it.

03:31:44.000 I think he almost would want to match that.

03:31:47.000 It would help him out.

03:31:48.000 Ironically, it would probably help his case, but I don't think that we're going to see anything.

03:31:52.000 Unless, if it's something against Biden, that one I think would be safe.

03:31:57.000 Let's word it like this.

03:31:59.000 If there's another Poland election...

03:32:02.000 Then what do you think is happening?

03:32:08.000 Well, remember the riots and the burning down the cities.

03:32:10.000 We'll just see that at a bigger scale this time.

03:32:12.000 And then they bring in the Coast Guard and do another COVID lockdown that's going to be a militant-style lockdown.

03:32:20.000 Remember, we were all prepared with COVID, with the lockdowns, and now it's like a threat to our democracy lockdown.

03:32:27.000 Now it's going to be worse.

03:32:30.000 So yeah.

03:32:32.000 Why is domestic terrorism being ruled out?

03:32:34.000 I'm not saying that, but I don't think...

03:32:36.000 Also, we should probably discourage that.

03:32:40.000 We don't want that at all.

03:32:42.000 They're going to try to look for that.

03:32:43.000 That's what CNN's pushing, is that there's...

03:32:46.000 Trump is saying, fight, fight, fight.

03:32:47.000 They're going to want some sort of retaliation to try to undermine the movement.

03:32:51.000 And really, it's like...

03:32:52.000 Why are we thinking like this is...

03:32:55.000 I'll jump back in.

03:32:58.000 Yeah.

03:33:00.000 Alright, so I want to get a little bit of this Fox News stuff coverage here.

03:33:03.000 When, you know, we're all veterans at this point, I try to focus on the good stuff.

03:33:09.000 The sane, the normal, the, this is not good, we are praying, and we cannot have this happen more.

03:33:20.000 Yeah, I want to talk about the Biden campaign, the Biden White House too, but you know, we've talked about it at length in the last two and a half weeks now.

03:33:27.000 The fallout from Biden's poor debate performance and the calls on him to, you know, step out of the race completely, not run for re-election.

03:33:36.000 The Biden campaign is telling Fox, Tom, they're pausing all outbound communication.

03:33:41.000 They're working to pull down their TV ads as quickly as possible.

03:33:44.000 $50 million worth in all swing states, all several swing states.

03:33:49.000 Tom, off the air.

03:33:51.000 Does that say something about the nature of this moment in the campaign?

03:33:56.000 Yeah.

03:33:57.000 Feels like a wake-up call.

03:34:00.000 It really does.

03:34:02.000 That's dramatic.

03:34:05.000 And, you know, I was watching Biden earlier.

03:34:10.000 I was thinking about these kind of these dual roles that he's inhabiting.

03:34:14.000 You know, on the one hand, he is a candidate for re-election running against Trump.

03:34:19.000 And so they are political opponents.

03:34:22.000 But at the same time, he is the chief officer, the chief executive, the commander in chief of the, you We're good to go.

03:34:51.000 And you saw him hesitate a little bit and say, you know, I'm dealing with facts right now.

03:34:57.000 I've got some opinions, but given the severity of this, got to work with facts.

03:35:04.000 And yeah, this feels like a wake-up call.

03:35:06.000 Yeah.

03:35:06.000 And of course, if the president and the former president do speak on the phone, we'll definitely bring that reporting here.

03:35:13.000 That hasn't happened yet, or at least we haven't heard that that has happened yet.

03:35:16.000 But if it does, we'll make sure our viewers know that.

03:35:18.000 Tom LaBianca, thanks so much for your time.

03:35:20.000 I know you're headed to Milwaukee.

03:35:21.000 Safe travels there.

03:35:23.000 And hopefully we'll be speaking there at the RNC. Thanks, Tom.

03:35:26.000 Gladly.

03:35:26.000 All right.

03:35:26.000 Thank you, Andrew.

03:35:27.000 Let's take a commercial break.

03:35:28.000 break.

03:35:28.000 We're back in two minutes.

03:35:29.000 We'll be right back.

03:35:59.000 All right.

03:36:00.000 So I just responded, guys, to this tweet, right?

03:36:07.000 So I'm going to explain this a bit here.

03:36:09.000 Hold on.

03:36:24.000 I'm going to go to my profile and I'll show it to you guys.

03:36:26.000 Thank you.

03:36:29.000 So, as you guys know, this Mug Club member just tried, right? 0.92

03:36:32.000 Mug Club Undercover was en route to the residents of the respective shooter, and look what we found.

03:36:36.000 So, again, as I predicted, it's because they're executing search warrants now in the shooter's home.

03:36:40.000 They don't want civilians or the press there to interfere in the investigation, just like this guy tried to do.

03:36:44.000 Like, it's very simple, guys, that that's what happened.

03:36:47.000 They're just simply letting...

03:36:48.000 They're simply securing the area.

03:36:52.000 That's a part of doing a search warrant.

03:36:53.000 It's protocol.

03:36:55.000 So...

03:36:57.000 So yeah, that's what it is.

03:36:58.000 I mean, not everything is a grand conspiracy.

03:37:01.000 It's very simple.

03:37:01.000 I told you guys they're going to do a search warrant.

03:37:03.000 A part of executing a search warrant is you're going to go ahead and make sure that no one interferes in the investigation.

03:37:10.000 It is what it is, man.

03:37:11.000 That's just standard protocol for a search warrant.

03:37:13.000 So, I haven't been wrong about one thing yet, guys, when it comes to this stuff.

03:37:18.000 Because, like, I used to do these investigations, so I just know exactly what's going to happen.

03:37:23.000 Like, it's very simple when you've been on the job.

03:37:28.000 Let me see here what chat is saying.

03:37:30.000 It looks like Jackson Hinkle is on a Discord call now, so we'll jump back in there. 0.95

03:37:34.000 Because, yeah, guys, imagine you're trying to do search warrants and imagine you're trying to do search warrants and like you got the fucking news and civilians trying to roll up and get in the way and shit like that. 0.99

03:37:53.000 Like, you're going to be like, what the fuck? 0.99

03:37:55.000 You know, you're going to be annoyed. 0.96

03:37:57.000 So that is a big reason why they don't want, um, they don't want them guys there.

03:38:03.000 That's why. 0.98

03:38:04.000 I mean, hell, if I was a case agent, I wouldn't want them fucking there either. 0.99

03:38:06.000 Like, I'd be like, get the fuck out of here. 0.99

03:38:08.000 So that's just what it is. 0.89

03:38:09.000 And I'm going to add here.

03:38:27.000 Alright, let's go into this Discord call with these ninjas. .

03:38:41.000 Pharma wins there.

03:38:42.000 That's why they do this stuff with World War III. And Donald Trump isn't even like a massive threat to the agenda, but he's a percentage of a threat.

03:38:51.000 I don't know what percentage, but some sort of a threat.

03:38:54.000 And he doesn't like war.

03:38:55.000 He wants peace.

03:38:57.000 And maybe he's fooled by some people and he'll be manipulated by some people. 0.99

03:39:01.000 But more often or often enough, he actually challenges the agenda and that's why they want to kill him.

03:39:10.000 I think Myron's back in here.

03:39:11.000 He doesn't know.

03:39:12.000 He's a bit of a boomer with the camera.

03:39:13.000 He doesn't know how to add it.

03:39:14.000 I'm here.

03:39:15.000 Okay, we got the panel over here with the boys.

03:39:19.000 Myron, can you hear?

03:39:20.000 You good?

03:39:20.000 I'm here.

03:39:20.000 Can you guys hear me?

03:39:22.000 Yeah, everything's good.

03:39:23.000 Okay.

03:39:23.000 But just try to turn it into a camera.

03:39:25.000 All you got to do is disable it in OBS and then turn it on Discord.

03:39:28.000 All right, hold on.

03:39:29.000 Let me try.

03:39:30.000 I tried this, man.

03:39:30.000 It didn't work.

03:39:32.000 I have two cameras for this reason.

03:39:33.000 I have a webcam for Discord and then a camera for the stream.

03:39:37.000 Yeah, I see. 1.00

03:39:37.000 You got two fucking different cameras, man. 1.00

03:39:40.000 Or this. 1.00

03:39:41.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

03:39:43.000 Hey, there you go. 1.00

03:39:44.000 I'm on.

03:39:44.000 Okay.

03:39:47.000 All right.

03:39:47.000 Jackson, have you looked into some more things that are coming out right now?

03:39:50.000 This guy, Matt Wallace, has tweeted, some people are saying it's Maxwell.

03:39:53.000 The Maxwell thing is still going on right now.

03:39:56.000 But, I mean, maybe it's a different dude.

03:39:59.000 To be honest...

03:40:01.000 I'd like to hear especially Myron's thoughts on this, but I think that in the next few days, everyone's going to be so focused on who this kid was, how much of a soy boy he was, whatever groups he was affiliated with.

03:40:16.000 But we all know it doesn't really matter because he didn't just do this on his own.

03:40:25.000 These sorts of operations are never just one person.

03:40:29.000 They never act alone.

03:40:31.000 And we'll probably never really know the truth.

03:40:33.000 We can only just speculate.

03:40:35.000 But the media is going to focus so much on this kid.

03:40:39.000 And that's the whole agenda.

03:40:41.000 So just, I guess, try to obfuscate the truth as to why they're actually doing this.

03:40:50.000 Do you actually think that the media is going to focus on him that much?

03:40:53.000 It doesn't seem like it's in their favor.

03:40:54.000 If you look at the trans shooter who they never released a manifesto of, the media did a good job of trying to hide it.

03:41:00.000 Especially if you look at the FBI and the Pennsylvania police response, it looks like they were trying their best to try to avoid speaking about the shooter.

03:41:08.000 And even CNN hasn't spoken about the shooter at all.

03:41:11.000 They keep saying, like, Trump got shot.

03:41:13.000 Trump is injured.

03:41:14.000 I don't think that they want to give that.

03:41:15.000 It doesn't really benefit them to talk about this guy.

03:41:17.000 I guess I mean like a real journalist, and I don't consider myself a journalist.

03:41:23.000 I just host the show, political commentator.

03:41:27.000 But like a real journalist, if you had the assets of the New York Times behind you, right?

03:41:32.000 Might be looking into the connections between this kid, his private family life, what they might say about whether or not he had any sort of contact with federal agencies, whether or not he was being influenced by certain nefarious dark web groups or something.

03:41:49.000 You know, you'd be looking into the the nitty ditty greetails that no one else at CNN today is actually going to look into.

03:41:58.000 I think they're going to do a surface level analysis of who he is and leave it at that.

03:42:03.000 OK.

03:42:07.000 More people are calling me, but I'm going to stay in this call.

03:42:10.000 Mark, any more predictions?

03:42:14.000 What do you think is going to be the next step for the media?

03:42:17.000 Well, we already know right now that they're doing a search warrant at his house.

03:42:20.000 That got confirmed by the Mug Club guy trying to go over there to that address, and they already had the whole place cordoned off.

03:42:27.000 So they're either A, already at the house searching it, or B, they're securing a warrant right now as we speak with a federal magistrate to go ahead and get in there.

03:42:35.000 So...

03:42:36.000 Yeah, they're searching the house right now.

03:42:37.000 They're collecting evidence.

03:42:39.000 We know who the guy is. 0.99

03:42:41.000 I would say probably before fucking tomorrow, we'll know what this guy's background is and everything else, how people are already pulling his graduation fucking video. 0.98

03:42:48.000 So we're going to know everything about this guy within the next 24 to 48 hours, I would say. 0.98

03:42:52.000 Definitely.

03:42:53.000 I know this is a serious thing, but Jackson, doesn't the shooter kind of look like the guy who threw water on us?

03:43:00.000 He does, at UCLA. They all look the same.

03:43:06.000 Yeah, all these liberal fucks look the same. 1.00

03:43:08.000 Don't trust these long-haired men with glasses, man. 1.00

03:43:11.000 Don't be around them.

03:43:13.000 I mean, I'm surprised that he snapped and learned how to use a gun, right?

03:43:17.000 But these guys are all dangerous, right?

03:43:19.000 That's what I'm saying, though.

03:43:21.000 It's like Lee Harvey Oswald, it was obviously multiple shooters, but the fact that he had the capacity to even potentially shoot the gun that well was rebutted by a lot of people.

03:43:35.000 There's no way he could have done that.

03:43:38.000 But he was training with the CIA and stuff like that.

03:43:42.000 So you look at this kid and he looks like a nerd, but if he did shoot that, how did he get to be such a good shot?

03:43:50.000 Maybe we should ask those questions.

03:43:55.000 I mean, not that good of a shot, clearly.

03:43:58.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

03:43:59.000 We're talking about a nerd learning how to use a rifle.

03:44:02.000 He's clearly an MKUltra. 0.76

03:44:04.000 Am I crazy? 1.00

03:44:05.000 This guy's a fucking MKUltra mind zombie. 1.00

03:44:09.000 Yeah, I want to figure out his Discord logs and what FBI agent was chatting with him. 1.00

03:44:13.000 Mike, have you shot an AR-15?

03:44:15.000 How hard is it to hit a target from 400 yards with an iron sight with an AR-15? 0.98

03:44:19.000 With an iron sight, it would suck. 0.93

03:44:21.000 You can do it, though. 0.56

03:44:22.000 You can absolutely do it.

03:44:23.000 They're pretty accurate guns.

03:44:24.000 But with an iron sight, I mean, he didn't even have a red dot. 0.99

03:44:27.000 Like, goddamn, bro, it's 2024. 0.93

03:44:32.000 Why did he get a scope at the very least? 0.99

03:44:34.000 If he looked like Zerka, if he looked like Zerka, I'd say, you know, his aim is as good as Shaq on the free throw line.

03:44:42.000 But looking at that kid, I'm like, nah, that's a pretty good shot for that soy boy. 1.00

03:44:47.000 Yeah, that was impressive.

03:44:48.000 You gotta give him credit.

03:44:49.000 That's true.

03:44:50.000 Was anybody relieved a little bit that I was a soy boy?

03:44:52.000 I was really hoping that I wasn't an Arab guy.

03:44:55.000 As soon as I heard the news, I'm like, please don't be a Chinese guy. 1.00

03:44:58.000 Ryan Dawson put out a rumor for a bit that it was a Chinese dude. 1.00

03:45:01.000 I was like, fuck, man. 0.99

03:45:02.000 I'm going to have to be Dominican again. 1.00

03:45:04.000 I'm glad that I wasn't a black dude because then I was going to create more racial divide.

03:45:07.000 The fact that a soy boy, a white soy boy specifically, is the perfect target to not mess up the movement and also to not start any racial war. 0.58

03:45:16.000 Yeah.

03:45:17.000 No, he looked like a Twitch moderator.

03:45:19.000 He looked like a Twitch streamer.

03:45:23.000 Jackson, do you agree with Zerka's tank?

03:45:25.000 Zerka thinks that he somewhat agrees with Alex Jones that things are going to get worse.

03:45:28.000 They're going to start heating up and there's going to be civil war type protests outside.

03:45:32.000 Do you think it's going to get that bad?

03:45:34.000 I mean, we were literally, regardless of what anyone thinks happened today, we were a fraction of an inch away from civil war. 0.94

03:45:42.000 We were one Chinese penis away from nuclear war. 0.96

03:45:52.000 I was over at Zerka's musty hotel. 0.99

03:45:58.000 You met my horse!

03:46:00.000 What's that?

03:46:01.000 You met my horse!

03:46:04.000 Yeah, I got out of there.

03:46:07.000 You for sure got diseases with him. 0.99

03:46:10.000 No, I was sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, if that was a fraction of an inch right here to where we're sitting right now, we'd be watching a civil war already taking place.

03:46:23.000 I think that they're going to do more.

03:46:25.000 I mean...

03:46:26.000 I think that they never stop at one.

03:46:29.000 That's the thing.

03:46:30.000 It's like, look at Nicolas Maduro.

03:46:33.000 Look at Fidel Castro.

03:46:34.000 Again, regardless of what you think about those guys, they were targets of the deep state.

03:46:39.000 Fidel had like 100-plus assassination attempts that he survived. 0.95

03:46:43.000 I mean, they did the most ridiculous things.

03:46:46.000 He was an avid scuba diver or snorkeler.

03:46:50.000 So they actually tried to put a bomb inside of a giant shell at the bottom of the ocean in Cuba so when he would go down to dive for it, that it would explode in his face.

03:47:00.000 They'll keep trying.

03:47:03.000 This was pretty out in the open.

03:47:06.000 Maybe they'll do something quieter next time.

03:47:09.000 What are the possibilities that it's Mossad or that it's some sort of foreign agent who tried to...

03:47:16.000 Is that a possibility at all or is it as simple as it just being a crazed soy boy? 0.81

03:47:23.000 I don't think it was a crazed soy boy. 0.99

03:47:25.000 I think there was definitely some MKUltra shit going on. 0.99

03:47:31.000 I don't think it was Mossad. 0.99

03:47:33.000 I think Zion Don is safe from that, but especially with all the big donations he's been getting from the Zionists recently. 1.00

03:47:42.000 Yeah.

03:47:42.000 But, I mean, look, Trump is like the number one impediment to World War III. World War III is not happening in Gaza.

03:47:53.000 Maybe if Iran, Lebanon, like if everyone gets involved, but World War III... It's the closest to tipping off between Russia and Ukraine.

03:48:03.000 I mean, I just got back from Donbass.

03:48:05.000 I was on the front line.

03:48:07.000 And I went to the Zaprosyan nuclear power plant, which is the largest power plant in Europe.

03:48:12.000 Russia controls it.

03:48:13.000 But when I was there, I saw American missiles stuck halfway in the ground, just 100 feet away from where they store all of the nuclear waste.

03:48:21.000 Like, we are so close to World War III. And if you have the wrong guy in office, it's going to make it 1,000 times worse.

03:48:31.000 What is MKUltra exactly?

03:48:33.000 How specific is that?

03:48:34.000 Because original MKUltra was giving people LSD, was trying to brainwash them and keeping their eyes open.

03:48:40.000 Can MKUltra be as simple as a federal agent messaging and convincing somebody through Discord chats to go and take medication and giving them ideas?

03:48:48.000 Is MKUltra direct or can it be more subtle?

03:48:51.000 It always comes from a trauma or a crack in the psyche.

03:48:55.000 So basically, when these soy boys are experiencing the highest level of trauma, they enter a dissociative state, which they could be programmed in. 0.88

03:49:05.000 And in that dissociative state, they can get a phone call, and the phone call can say, go shoot it up!

03:49:10.000 And then in that trauma, they hear their tormentor, and they get triggered to do it.

03:49:15.000 now usually for mk ultra they get cracked at a young age and they've been doing this since like ancient times but they'll they started with like uh soldiers of like ripping a puppy's head off with a knife then they started with killing a family member in front of them and then as they're in a dissociative state because the psyche can't handle the trauma it's seeing as a child it actually goes to a happy place and that happy place they can make you do anything right that's where they but the interesting part is

03:49:40.000 did this happen to this guy the young man and then they came to claim him decades later well a lot of the conspiracy guys say that yet there's so many sleeper cell agents that can be activated with just one phone call Thank you.

03:49:56.000 Mario, did you experience anybody under this sort of hypnosis or this sort of mind control?

03:50:04.000 No, not like this. 0.97

03:50:06.000 I mean, when I was in a job, I was going after mostly Mexican cartel people, drug trafficking, human smuggling, firearms, that type of shit. 0.92

03:50:13.000 So I wasn't really dealing with assassination attempts. 0.93

03:50:17.000 I mean this is something that happens only a couple of times in American history.

03:50:20.000 Right, but I'm saying, like, when would you go so far as to claim somebody is mentally ill or somebody has been, you know, completely been brainwashed by something?

03:50:29.000 Like, how many of the people were you arresting could you consider mentally insane?

03:50:34.000 That's for the judge to decide.

03:50:35.000 You know, judges are the ones really that can see if the defendant can stand trial, you know, and they're, you know, when you plead insanity or whatever it may be, it's something that a lot of crooks do.

03:50:43.000 They try to plead insanity, but, you know, to try to make themselves, because it's one of the few defenses for a lot of criminal prosecution.

03:50:49.000 But, yeah.

03:50:52.000 Okay, so that's what they're going to try to plead to get less prison time, but obviously this guy doesn't really have his voice.

03:50:58.000 Yeah, he's gone.

03:51:01.000 Now, what's weird is the ladder.

03:51:04.000 His ladder was just out in the open. 0.99

03:51:08.000 They just let him climb a fucking ladder to that roof. 0.98

03:51:11.000 Isn't that kind of weird? 0.99

03:51:13.000 Why did they...

03:51:14.000 Has anyone discussed the fact, like, I see the video where the Secret Service sniper looks like he's locked in, and then he doesn't fire until the kid fired.

03:51:25.000 Yeah, yeah.

03:51:28.000 That was weird.

03:51:29.000 That was really, really weird.

03:51:31.000 Yeah, he jolts after he saw the shot.

03:51:35.000 He looks like he's aiming directly there.

03:51:37.000 The shot goes, and then he moves his gun a little bit and then shoots.

03:51:40.000 So it's like there's no way he didn't already see him.

03:51:42.000 He was looking directly in that line of fire.

03:51:45.000 I'm no expert in secret service stuff, but I feel like if I saw someone on the roof where they're not supposed to be with a gun, I'd have to hear a red flag.

03:51:59.000 Jackson, you don't have experience to talk on this, okay? - Okay.

03:52:05.000 Listen, sometimes people just chill on roofs with fucking rifles. 1.00

03:52:10.000 Yeah, this whole thing is so fucking fishy, man. 1.00

03:52:14.000 This whole thing is so fucking fishy. 0.98

03:52:18.000 The latter I saw because it wasn't in Google Maps pictures. 0.98

03:52:20.000 People looked at the area and they can't see it.

03:52:22.000 So it seems like it must have been added probably that day or the day before. 0.98

03:52:27.000 We've got to really ask ourselves, what if this is just Trump's plan to get a fucking hit single? 0.99

03:52:33.000 Manny, Manny, Manny, Manny, Manny. 1.00

03:52:36.000 He got hit like I got hit for you.

03:52:39.000 For the free.

03:52:40.000 Hey, Manny, Chad, let's go.

03:52:44.000 The first thing Zerka said when I came over, he said, that was a crazy shot for a pellet gun, right?

03:52:50.000 Oh, my God. 1.00

03:52:53.000 Shut the fuck up! 1.00

03:52:55.000 Shut the fuck up! 1.00

03:52:56.000 Yo, stop it, Mike. 1.00

03:52:58.000 But Jackson, my chat keeps calling me like CIA, bro.

03:53:02.000 You can't...

03:53:02.000 I mean, yeah.

03:53:06.000 It nibbled his ear, right?

03:53:09.000 I don't know.

03:53:10.000 It looked like a pretty small hole for...

03:53:12.000 Yeah, for a 50 cal?

03:53:14.000 No.

03:53:14.000 How much was...

03:53:15.000 Did anyone know the bullet size?

03:53:18.000 I think it was a 223.

03:53:22.000 Am I being a conspiracy theorist, or is that...

03:53:25.000 Like, wouldn't it do more damage?

03:53:27.000 What, 223?

03:53:29.000 Yeah, on the ear.

03:53:31.000 No, I mean, if that bill of his truck, man, he would have been gone.

03:53:35.000 Like, the whole side of his head would have blown off.

03:53:36.000 It didn't go directly through his ear.

03:53:39.000 It grazed his ear.

03:53:39.000 It grazed him.

03:53:40.000 It grazed him.

03:53:40.000 But if he, like, actually got hit, like, dude, yeah, you would have seen brain matter.

03:53:45.000 I mean, if the person that got shot actually got killed, like, his brain matter was all over the place.

03:53:50.000 The surgeon, there was a doctor that was there on the scene that even said it.

03:53:56.000 Yeah, and it is crazy for the conspiracy guys, the guys to go extra far.

03:54:01.000 It is crazy for them to say, oh, it's a pellet gun, because think about it, even if it was an orchestrated pellet gun, what kind of president would want to risk getting blinded in the eye by a metal pellet?

03:54:11.000 No one would fucking risk that, so it's clearly, it's a real deal. 0.58

03:54:16.000 Did they have any photos of the... 0.98

03:54:18.000 I heard there was a bystander that got killed, maybe, and one that got shot.

03:54:24.000 Were there any photos of that?

03:54:26.000 Or is that just a story?

03:54:28.000 I don't know if they released them.

03:54:28.000 There's a photo of the blood on the bleachers.

03:54:30.000 I don't think they have a photo of the body.

03:54:32.000 And if not, maybe it's not appropriate to show that, but...

03:54:34.000 One person is in the hospital, the other one is confirmed.

03:54:36.000 The helicopter flew them out immediately.

03:54:37.000 I don't even know.

03:54:38.000 I mean, people probably did grab video and pictures, but yeah, they flew the body out immediately.

03:54:42.000 Like, the doctor gave them CPR and shit, but the body got out of there immediately because they thought that they could potentially save them. 0.62

03:54:48.000 Yeah. 0.95

03:54:49.000 Now, what's weird is, this wasn't the most populated area, you know?

03:54:53.000 Like, it wasn't...

03:54:54.000 If this guy got that, you know, he had that opportunity this easily, you imagine in a really, really populated area, it's gonna be a little too easy to hit Trump, you know what I mean? 0.96

03:55:06.000 If the Secret Service can't do a fucking grass field, another grassy knoll situation, it seems like, bro, Trump shouldn't be going to no fucking UFC arenas. 0.99

03:55:17.000 Well, he wanted to go to UFC, but they clearly told him, fuck no, you're not going to see. 0.99

03:55:21.000 They brought him back somewhere secure. 0.98

03:55:23.000 Same thing with Biden.

03:55:24.000 That's why Biden had to end his weekend trip.

03:55:26.000 Obviously, the Secret Service probably went on red alert, and they're like, nope, nobody's moving anywhere.

03:55:30.000 We're going to assess the situation.

03:55:32.000 They locked down Trump Tower in New York even.

03:55:34.000 Like, yeah, they're on full security mode right now.

03:55:39.000 How long do you think that's going to last?

03:55:43.000 At least the next 48 to 72 hours.

03:55:45.000 We're going to be on super high security.

03:55:47.000 That's not that bad.

03:55:48.000 Yeah.

03:55:49.000 But who are you doing security secret service detail for?

03:55:53.000 It was the president of...

03:55:54.000 It was an African country, man. 1.00

03:55:56.000 I'm trying to remember what fucking country it was. 0.99

03:55:58.000 Are you allowed to say, Myron? 0.99

03:56:00.000 No, you're not.

03:56:00.000 This was years ago.

03:56:01.000 This was 2017.

03:56:02.000 And this was at the UN, so it's fine.

03:56:04.000 It's not classified or anything like that.

03:56:09.000 Wow, we are never beating those allegations, man.

03:56:12.000 I was, man.

03:56:15.000 I was back in the day.

03:56:17.000 Yeah, but you didn't tell us Secret Service, too, and with the United Nations, you got Jordan Peterson's whole background, bro. 1.00

03:56:24.000 What the fuck? 1.00

03:56:25.000 No, no, man. 1.00

03:56:26.000 I mean, dude, it's common.

03:56:27.000 It's very common for Secret Service to use HSI agents to help them with protection details because Secret Service is understaffed significantly.

03:56:38.000 Yeah, but, Byron, you know the biggest conspiracy around you is that You're a Fed still working for them who opened up just to infiltrate the red pill space.

03:56:48.000 You know that one?

03:56:49.000 Of course.

03:56:49.000 Then, yeah, I just demonetized myself as part of the investigation.

03:56:52.000 You got burn noticed.

03:56:54.000 Yeah. 1.00

03:56:54.000 Yeah, like I banned myself on Instagram and demonetized myself for all the idiots that say I'm a Fed working. 1.00

03:57:00.000 Like, people are so stupid sometimes. 1.00

03:57:05.000 I don't know. 1.00

03:57:05.000 I don't know you did Secret Service, bro. 1.00

03:57:07.000 Now I don't know about those people.

03:57:09.000 It's common, dude.

03:57:10.000 Like if you work for HSI, Homeland Security, you're going to end up doing a Secret Service detail at some point.

03:57:14.000 And the reason why is because they don't have enough agents to cover these political rallies.

03:57:20.000 In 2016, like half the agency was on loan to Secret Service pretty much doing details because they just don't have enough agents.

03:57:28.000 Dude, I can see in your eyes how much you miss this kind of work.

03:57:31.000 Yeah, it was a lot of fun, man.

03:57:33.000 It was a good time.

03:57:35.000 Obviously, this is more financially beneficial, but working for the government was fun, man.

03:57:42.000 It was a great career.

03:57:43.000 It turned me into the man I am today, man. 1.00

03:57:44.000 I thank God that I kind of started with a real job before just going right into social media because a lot of social media people are fucking stupid, as you guys know. 1.00

03:57:51.000 You guys have met a lot of these people. 1.00

03:57:52.000 They're idiots. 1.00

03:57:53.000 They're weirdos. 1.00

03:57:56.000 Did you see Trump's true social response? 0.89

03:57:59.000 Yeah, I did.

03:58:00.000 I did.

03:58:01.000 I got this shared up here.

03:58:02.000 What's your...

03:58:02.000 This was obviously...

03:58:04.000 It must have been seen by his whole team here.

03:58:06.000 I'm wondering what you think the strategy is behind this.

03:58:08.000 Immediately he thanked the Secret Service.

03:58:10.000 He extended the consultancy and all this stuff.

03:58:12.000 He said...

03:58:13.000 He talked about the people that were injured.

03:58:16.000 It's an incredible act that such an act can take place in our country.

03:58:20.000 You know, political statement here, right?

03:58:22.000 Nothing is known about the shooter who is now dead.

03:58:25.000 See, there's no way this part is true.

03:58:27.000 There was immediately things that must have been known about the shooter.

03:58:34.000 I'm confused.

03:58:35.000 I'm trying to figure out why he said that.

03:58:37.000 And then he talks about hearing the whizzing sound.

03:58:41.000 All this makes sense.

03:58:41.000 You can see his reaction in the video.

03:58:43.000 Much bleeding took place so that I realized what was happening.

03:58:46.000 God bless America.

03:58:47.000 Overall, a good response.

03:58:48.000 I don't think there's anything to complain here.

03:58:50.000 But I do think that they're going to try to cover up as much as possible about this shooter.

03:58:57.000 It seems like they really don't want us to know anything about him.

03:59:03.000 We'll see in the upcoming days, though.

03:59:05.000 I'm curious to see what the motivations are.

03:59:10.000 Absolutely, yeah.

03:59:11.000 That's what I'm most curious about right now.

03:59:13.000 Yeah, it's probably going to be political.

03:59:15.000 Yeah, this is who I protected.

03:59:16.000 This guy, guys.

03:59:17.000 This is who I protected when I was on the job.

03:59:20.000 Dennis Cezo Nguesso.

03:59:22.000 Do you have a link?

03:59:24.000 I got it up on my screen right now.

03:59:26.000 Maybe see if I can share it with y'all.

03:59:28.000 Let me see if I can share it.

03:59:31.000 You can send me the link.

03:59:31.000 I feel like I could put it up on screen.

03:59:33.000 Jackson.

03:59:36.000 soon.

03:59:36.000 Thank you.

03:59:41.000 Want to come back here?

03:59:44.000 Girls miss you.

03:59:48.000 Pause.

03:59:50.000 Many men.

03:59:57.000 Many, many men.

04:00:00.000 I'm thinking about getting off here in a little bit.

04:00:03.000 Unless you guys are still going to keep going.

04:00:05.000 Yeah, we'll get on.

04:00:06.000 If you have the link, we can close off on that.

04:00:10.000 There you go.

04:00:12.000 Hey, one in the chat if this is the new podcast team.

04:00:17.000 Oh, this is the guy who did Secret Service Detail for.

04:00:20.000 Yeah, that's who, yeah, the president of Congo.

04:00:22.000 Yep, Congolese president.

04:00:24.000 We're all, are we all right now? 0.95

04:00:27.000 Myron, you work with a black guy? 0.98

04:00:29.000 Yeah, I thought you were a white supremacist. 0.94

04:00:31.000 I thought Fresh was the only one.

04:00:34.000 Very funny, very funny.

04:00:37.000 Denis Sasu Noguso.

04:00:40.000 Yeah.

04:00:41.000 That's what it was.

04:00:43.000 He kind of looks like you and Fresh combined.

04:00:51.000 But yeah. 0.98

04:00:53.000 But anyway, yeah, guys, I think I'm going to sign off because I've been on this shit for five and a half hours now covering this whole thing. 0.98

04:00:59.000 Yeah, Myron's lazy. 0.97

04:01:01.000 Alright, I'm going to continue cooking.

04:01:03.000 Yeah, okay, bro. 1.00

04:01:05.000 We stream more than you do, motherfucker. 1.00

04:01:07.000 Okay, I've been live for six and a half hours. 1.00

04:01:10.000 I'm like that.

04:01:11.000 Yeah, well, you stream only a couple times a week.

04:01:15.000 That's not true.

04:01:15.000 I'm a daily streamer.

04:01:17.000 Jackson, do you have any closing thoughts?

04:01:19.000 It's good to have you on again.

04:01:20.000 It's been a while since you've been on stream.

04:01:21.000 It has been a while.

04:01:23.000 Where have you been, bro?

04:01:23.000 You were in Russia for a while.

04:01:25.000 We should actually all run a show together in person.

04:01:27.000 We're here.

04:01:28.000 I'm here for one more week.

04:01:30.000 Are you actually going to go to the front lines of Gaza?

04:01:33.000 No, I went to the front lines of Russia.

04:01:37.000 Where are you going next week?

04:01:39.000 Venezuela.

04:01:41.000 For the presidential elections.

04:01:43.000 Is it true that they're using their currency as toilet paper?

04:01:47.000 No, no, no.

04:01:48.000 The currency's much better now.

04:01:50.000 The situation's stabilized. 0.99

04:01:52.000 Biden was begging them for oil, and Maduro told them to fuck off, and now it's much better now. 1.00

04:02:00.000 You can't talk shit about Venezuela to a communist, bro. 1.00

04:02:05.000 Oh yeah, I forgot. 1.00

04:02:06.000 Yeah.

04:02:07.000 Bro, you're in Miami. 0.97

04:02:09.000 You're going to get sniped as you dox yourself by some Venezuelan immigrant. 1.00

04:02:18.000 Alright, you guys.

04:02:20.000 Let's do a panel in person.

04:02:22.000 Let's do a panel in person.

04:02:23.000 When do you guys want to do it?

04:02:25.000 Like, Friday?

04:02:28.000 Alright, so what about Sunday?

04:02:31.000 Oh, today's Sunday.

04:02:32.000 Yeah, today's technically Sunday.

04:02:34.000 Do you have a guest on Monday or no?

04:02:37.000 I don't. 0.98

04:02:38.000 We're going to do Money Monday, but we can do a fucking panel show if you guys want. 0.99

04:02:41.000 Whatever you guys want to do. 0.97

04:02:41.000 I think that people would want to see that. 0.97

04:02:43.000 Let's do it.

04:02:44.000 I'm free on Monday.

04:02:46.000 All right. 1.00

04:02:48.000 Fuck it. 1.00

04:02:48.000 Zerka. 1.00

04:02:50.000 All right.

04:02:50.000 John Butchinger.

04:02:51.000 Okay, he's good.

04:02:53.000 All right.

04:02:53.000 Be safe.

04:02:54.000 All right.

04:02:54.000 See you guys.

04:02:55.000 All right.

04:02:56.000 Later, guys.

04:02:57.000 Later, Zerka.

04:02:59.000 All right.

04:03:01.000 So, let me go ahead.

04:03:05.000 Chat, I hope you guys enjoyed that little discussion with ours.

04:03:06.000 So yeah, there you guys go.

04:03:07.000 We're going to have something on Monday for you guys. 0.99

04:03:12.000 I don't know where the fuck that came from. 0.98

04:03:14.000 So, yeah. 0.98

04:03:16.000 WStream, guys.

04:03:17.000 I think we had a good time.

04:03:19.000 Before I get off, what I'll do is I'll go on Fox News real quick and make sure we didn't miss nothing.

04:03:25.000 See what we got here?

04:03:26.000 Rejected a request by the Trump team for more protection is not true.

04:03:30.000 Hal, you and I were talking about protection for not only, you know...

04:03:34.000 Told you guys, so yeah, his team wasn't beefed up.

04:03:37.000 Former president, obviously, you get protection for the rest of your life.

04:03:40.000 But presidential candidates themselves here, the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, the Democrat, has this here.

04:03:49.000 We're going to put that up here because we're talking about Secret Service protection, Hal, for other presidential candidates here.

04:03:59.000 There we go.

04:04:00.000 Jared Polis.

04:04:00.000 He's the governor of Colorado.

04:04:01.000 He says, I encourage POTUS to immediately provide Secret Service protection for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

04:04:07.000 Of course, we know the last presidential candidate to be assassinated was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s father, Robert F. Kennedy.

04:04:14.000 June 4, 1968.

04:04:16.000 The Ambassador Hotel there in California.

04:04:19.000 And so, do you think...

04:04:22.000 This is going to be standard operating procedure for presidential campaigns to come.

04:04:27.000 Even an independent candidate should get Secret Service protection.

04:04:31.000 I think you're going to see a broadening of what they do.

04:04:34.000 You know, they have a different, it's not necessarily, it's not party affiliation that determines Secret Service protection as much as where the candidate is, the viability of the candidate.

04:04:44.000 You know, one of the things they have to do at the beginning of the primary season is a little bit of triage because we've had past elections where the, you know, things start up and you can have, you know, a dozen plus more candidates out there.

04:04:58.000 And of course, Whenever you vote and you look at all the people listed on the ballot, you realize there's a lot of people who are running for president, and those people are not under any threat.

04:05:11.000 For example, and I don't mean to pick on them, but I don't think there's any particular threat to the candidate for the Transcendental Meditation Party.

04:05:19.000 That's just probably one where they would say they don't need Secret Service protection.

04:05:23.000 But they are going to be looking a lot harder at things like the Riff Kennedy Jr.

04:05:29.000 decision.

04:05:29.000 That was very controversial when they decided not to give him protection.

04:05:33.000 He is up there.

04:05:34.000 He has a bulls high enough that one would think that he would rate it.

04:05:38.000 And I would be very surprised that tomorrow they don't turn around and say, yes, he's getting protection.

04:05:43.000 All right.

04:05:44.000 We're going to have to leave it at that.

04:05:45.000 We can't thank you enough.

04:05:46.000 You've been providing excellent expertise and insight and analysis on this very, very tragic day in our nation's history.

04:05:54.000 Hal, we'll probably be talking again very, very soon.

04:05:56.000 Hal, have a good night.

04:05:58.000 Okay, you too, Andrew.

04:05:59.000 We continue our coverage of the Trump assassination attempt.

04:06:02.000 Here's the moment it happened.

04:06:04.000 Let's watch.

04:06:04.000 ...took over.

04:06:06.000 And look what happened to our country.

04:06:09.000 Probably 20 million people.

04:06:12.000 And you know, that's a little bit old, that chart.

04:06:14.000 That charts a couple of months old and if you want to really see something that said take a look what happened And I'll leave you guys with that man I'm glad that Trump is okay. 0.75

04:06:41.000 Oh shit, my video capture's off. 0.65

04:06:42.000 Sorry guys, hold on. 0.95

04:06:43.000 Let me fix this.

04:06:45.000 Activate.

04:06:46.000 My bad.

04:06:47.000 Sorry.

04:06:50.000 You know, and...

04:06:53.000 Obviously a crazy day, but Trump is alive, thank God.

04:06:56.000 You guys know I'm a Trump supporter.

04:06:57.000 Disagree with him on a couple of things, but regardless, I think we need to galvanize, you know, as people that support the right for our president, our president to be, because I think he's going to absolutely win this situation.

04:07:11.000 And...

04:07:13.000 Hopefully he wins this thing.

04:07:15.000 I don't think there's no way that he's going to lose at this point.

04:07:18.000 If anything, this has increased his resolve and the American people are going to support him even more.

04:07:24.000 So definitely iconic to see that.

04:07:27.000 Guys, I'll be live tomorrow for FedReacts.

04:07:29.000 If anything crazy develops, I'll go ahead and break it down on FedReacts tomorrow.

04:07:33.000 Anything new?
