00:00:34.160 This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

00:00:43.280 A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.

00:00:49.940 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:52.980 Christ is king.

00:00:54.540 chaos at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, moments after it began. 0.75

00:01:02.260 Law enforcement storming the stage, an agent throwing his body in front of President Trump.

00:01:09.620 It was just after 8.30 p.m., just moments after the national anthem was played at the annual event.

00:01:15.860 The night's performer, O's the Mentalist, seen talking to President Trump and the First Lady

00:01:20.360 when agents in tactical gear swarmed in to secure the room.

00:01:24.120 Captured on security camera, a man rushes past the metal detectors in secret service

00:01:29.040 set up in the Washington Hilton Hotel as he tried to get inside of the ballroom

00:01:34.080 where the White House correspondent's dinner was underway.

00:01:39.500 Gunshots rang out, setting off a scramble inside of the room.

00:01:43.020 The New York Times reports the suspected shooter's 1,000-word manifesto

00:01:47.580 says Trump administration figures were his targets, prioritized from the highest ranking

00:01:52.440 to the lowest, a clear reference to the president himself. According to the Times,

00:01:56.980 the suspect said he could no longer allow a traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

00:02:01.900 That authorities have identified this man as Cole Thomas Allen, 31 years old from California.

00:02:08.500 The D.C. police chief said the suspect appeared to be a lone actor, was believed to be staying

00:02:14.180 at the Washington Hilton where this dinner was happening. 0.99

00:02:17.380 The guy is a sick guy. 1.00

00:02:18.740 When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians. 1.00

00:02:21.840 That's one thing for sure. 0.99

00:02:23.660 He hates Christians, a hatred. 0.91

00:02:26.000 And I think his sister or his brother actually was complaining about it. 0.92

00:02:29.780 They were even complaining to law enforcement.

00:02:34.200 So he was a very troubled guy.

00:02:36.720 What is your reaction to being the target of so much violence

00:02:40.580 and hearing these new details just as they're breaking?

00:02:44.180 Well, I heard about the London situation, and I wish they would have told us about it a little bit, but it is what it is.

00:02:52.480 You know, we had a great group of people there last night.

00:02:55.040 We had both inside in terms of the people, the audience, and also because they were all, you know, they were strong, relatively speaking, compared to what the potential threat was.

00:03:06.160 And the Secret Service and all law enforcement was, I thought they were outstanding.

00:03:10.680 Well, I think you heard it directly from the president on Saturday night, Aisha, that in his words, we need to recommit ourselves as a country to toning down the rhetoric and to unifying around what makes our country great.

00:03:23.840 That's true of everyone who works in this White House.

00:03:26.540 But as I said, it's also true of everyone who has a voice and a platform across this country, whether you're on television, a podcast host, you know, people listen.

00:03:38.140 And when you have mentally disturbed individuals across the country who are listening to this crazed rhetoric about the president day after day after day, it inspires them to do crazy things.

00:03:48.820 And unfortunately, it's not just the media. 0.96

00:03:51.820 It is the entire Democrat Party has made their pitch to voters across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy, that he is a fascist and that they compare him to Hitler.

00:04:03.740 I mean, these are despicable statements that the American people have been consuming for years.

00:04:08.760 And so many mentally perturbed individuals are led to believe these words are truth and then are inspired to act on it.

00:04:15.760 I have a whole host of examples that we can share with you after.

00:04:19.400 It is pages and pages of major Democrat Party elected officials saying such as Rep. Hakeem Jeffries just this April, this month, said we are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time.

00:04:32.740 Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll within the administration.

00:04:38.160 Senator Alex Padilla said people are, quote, dying because of fear and terror caused by the Trump administration.

00:04:44.460 Senator Elizabeth Warren, President Trump is making the country look like a, quote, fascist state.

00:04:49.920 Senator Adam Schiff saying President Trump using a dictator playbook.

00:04:53.840 Senator Ed Markey calling President Trump a dictator, saying that this administration's actions are authoritarianism on steroids.

00:05:01.240 Governor J.B. Pritzker, never before in my life have I called for mass protest disruptions.

00:05:06.400 These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.

00:05:09.800 You have Rep. Presley saying, we'll see you in the streets. 1.00

00:05:13.700 Monica McIver, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill, we will not take this shit from Donald Trump. 1.00

00:05:19.840 He thinks he's a dictator. We are at war. 1.00

00:05:22.880 These are Democrat elected officials calling for war against the president of the United States and his supporters.

00:05:28.560 I could go on and on. But again, when you have people in positions of power that are saying things like this every single day for years, you are inspiring violence by people who are already mentally ill. 0.96

00:05:40.540 And that's what we've seen against this president for far too long.

00:05:44.840 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.

00:05:48.640 We're here live in Washington, D.C. Real America's voice today is April 27th, 2026.

00:05:55.420 Anno, Dominique.

00:05:56.520 looks gonna be blunt the radical left will not stop until they are dealt with it is as simple

00:06:06.840 as this and yes we should tone down the rhetoric there's no question especially in the wake of a

00:06:14.560 third assassination attempt on president trump as well as the successful from their perspective

00:06:21.820 assassination of Charlie Kirk.

00:06:26.420 Security around the president is not good enough.

00:06:30.360 We have three aircraft carriers in the Middle East right now.

00:06:35.060 We're a country that's engaged in open military conflict.

00:06:39.420 Where is the sense of urgency?

00:06:43.480 I had friends at that event, in addition to our government's leadership and our military

00:06:48.780 leadership.

00:06:51.820 Where's the safety? Where's the security?

00:06:54.580 People are going to die if we don't take this seriously. 0.65

00:06:58.940 The Bolsheviks are at the gate. 0.84

00:07:02.480 Are we paying attention?

00:07:05.980 Jack Posobiec, right back, Human Events Daily.

00:07:07.900 Eyewitness, coming up next.

00:07:11.180 Nothing will stand in our way.

00:07:13.420 And our golden age has just begun.

00:07:15.800 This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:07:17.480 Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.

00:07:22.200 Welcome to the second American Revolution.

00:07:28.420 All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we are back live, Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice,

00:07:34.320 and our next guest, first time on Human Events, but someone that the audience, I believe, will be quite familiar with.

00:07:42.700 It is former Trump advisor Sam Nunberg joins us. Sam, how are you?

00:07:47.480 Thank you for having me, Jack.

00:07:48.760 Well, it's good to finally have you on, man.

00:07:50.500 And for folks who don't know this, that you were an advisor in Trump's 2016 campaign,

00:07:55.900 but also, incredibly and unbeknownst to yourself,

00:07:59.900 you were an eyewitness to the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter.

00:08:06.140 Tell us what happened on Saturday night.

00:08:09.680 Sure. Well, Jack, as you've been to the event as well, the Hilton Ballroom,

00:08:13.700 you go through a metal detector and let's just say there's 200 yards to an escalator where you're

00:08:18.700 taken to the basement where the ballroom is. If you go up that escalator to another 200 yards to

00:08:24.440 your left are the two bathrooms. I was being hosted by the Washington Times. Our table was

00:08:28.880 right by the door and I had to use the facilities as we like to say. So I went up the escalator and

00:08:34.780 I saw Wolf Blitzer leaving the men's bathroom. I made a left and around that center mark we spoke

00:08:42.100 for over 30 seconds under a minute and i'm at the door and i hear a pop and it sounded it didn't

00:08:51.020 sound like uh it didn't sound like a full shot like you know a gunshot you know i live in new

00:08:57.160 york i grew up in new york it didn't sound like a gunshot but it also didn't sound as if there

00:09:01.280 was a silencer it's almost as if i thought some protester got through with like a clicker or

00:09:06.480 something was trying to cause a skirmish and i look back i see wolf blitzer on the floor

00:09:11.020 And then I see a gentleman fall and I hear shots. Now, this is all within three to four seconds. But as you would know, when something like this happens, everything slows down. And I then see Secret Service or FBI running up to the gentleman on the floor, Wolf on the floor. And I go into the men's bathroom and I just tell everyone there was around five or six people there. I said, there were just shots fired. Everybody go back.

00:09:37.080 We were in the bathroom.

00:09:38.880 They then had the hotel security, men and women, come into the bathroom.

00:09:43.780 Wolf Blitzer was there, and I said to Wolf, Wolf, was he attacking you?

00:09:47.780 And Wolf just said, no, no, no, no, he wasn't.

00:09:50.700 They then bring me in his shoe.

00:09:52.060 We all wait for around 15 minutes or so.

00:09:55.000 Two agents come in, I assume Secret Service, and they tell us, they count how many of us

00:10:01.420 are in there, and then they tell us, everybody leave.

00:10:04.480 Get out of the hotel.

00:10:05.320 just leave. And I then immediately left the hotel and walked back to my hotel room. Of course,

00:10:12.320 many people, friends and colleagues thought that the event may restart. And having worked for

00:10:17.040 President Trump for five years, I knew that, of course, he wanted to go back, but that our first

00:10:23.220 lady would, of course, stop him from doing so. And that was it. And then you learn more and more

00:10:30.500 details as it happened so uh that's that's uh that's the description i have so sam you say you

00:10:38.540 say that you saw him on the ground were you able to tell and i know he asked this on the phone but

00:10:43.300 i'll say it again were you able to tell did he have that we're told he had this shotgun do you

00:10:48.400 were you able to see if he had the shotgun in his hand or a handgun were you able to see what was in

00:10:53.960 his hands i wasn't able to see um i saw some i think it was a shotgun because if there was

00:11:02.740 something longer in his hands but once again i you know when something like that happens as we

00:11:07.220 were talking about you know i just immediately then turn my back and go into the other room

00:11:11.180 because you don't want the authorities to think you're somehow involved or you're looking right

00:11:14.320 so uh you don't want them to lose their line of sight or concentration so i just immediately went

00:11:19.520 in but i i did not see him run through i want to be clear i did not see him run through the

00:11:23.900 metal detectors and that initial clicking i heard and must have been when he shot the secret service

00:11:29.740 agent so because this is the way it's set up right you're you're basically around the next corner

00:11:34.960 going down the hallway to where the bathroom is but that's sort of it's sort of right next to

00:11:39.740 where the top of the escalator was right it's not it's the top of the escalator and it's around

00:11:45.140 uh 50 to 75 let's call it feet i wouldn't say yards i mean or you know maybe 25 to 30 yards

00:11:53.360 away from the metal detectors where uh where he ran through and where he ran through when he was

00:11:59.260 when he was taken down and and as you say he was tackled and taken down how close was he to the

00:12:05.820 escalator he was uh halfway uh he was within the line of of the escalator so so if you go up the

00:12:18.140 escalator you make a left right and then i see you have like 200 let's call it uh yards i'll just

00:12:23.800 say yards it isn't yards 200 feet and he was within uh he was perpendicular to the escalator

00:12:30.420 so he was close he he he was close to the escalator yeah he was close to the escalator

00:12:37.020 and the metal detectors are are close to the escalator i mean look i've been to that event

00:12:41.480 uh four four times in total and you know you know in certain times first of all it's very strange

00:12:48.360 jack as we talked about because when you walk into the washington hilton that's right where

00:12:51.480 president reagan shot right so you immediately i immediately always think about that and it's

00:12:56.120 a weird energy it is a weird energy and then in the event itself um something that was a little

00:13:03.400 uh i even thought i was like wow i don't i didn't think it was a security i wouldn't use the word

00:13:09.000 security risk. But the vice president is introduced. I see the secretary of war. I see

00:13:14.240 the secretary of treasury. I see the secretary of homeland security, acting attorney general.

00:13:19.300 And Director Patel is like two tables up for me. And, you know, when I used to go to this event

00:13:27.500 before, whether it was 2017 to 2020 even, I would still say that that was a hybrid analon digital

00:13:34.940 age in terms of 3D print, in terms of drones, whatever else. I mean, that's just not the venue

00:13:40.800 anymore for an event like this. President Trump is absolutely right. You know, you can't have an

00:13:45.560 event like this in a public institution. It's got to be in something like the ballroom.

00:13:52.320 Yeah, look, and you're, you know, people were getting on me for talking about the ballroom

00:13:57.100 and other people, but it's just a practical consideration. It's about everyone's safety.

00:14:01.360 It's about keeping people safe. I think that when the ballroom is set up, these things are going to go on and it's going to be routine and nobody is even going to make to bat an eye when other presidents start to use it for the exact same function, because certain things, I'm sorry, they're just common sense.

00:14:18.520 They're just absolute common sense. I want to backtrack a little bit because and guys, if you could throw that that map up of what we were talking about is that so people have to understand that you go down to where the actual event hall was here.

00:14:33.400 So there's the first level you enter, then you go down one level, then you're at the magnetometers and the escalators.

00:14:39.820 So it's actually that's a level above where the actual event was taking place.

00:14:44.300 So that event is taking place below.

00:14:46.420 So you have to go down the escalators to get to that final level.

00:14:49.620 And then there are layers of security which ratchet up as you make your way closer and closer to where the actual event is.

00:14:57.360 The problem is that myself and some others have said is that the security parameters really don't start.

00:15:04.200 Those layers didn't start until you were actually in the hotel.

00:15:07.440 And to the point we're learning now that this guy was a guest at the hotel.

00:15:12.360 So, Sam, walk us through a little just when you showed up, what was the security like?

00:15:18.340 Well, first of all, first of all, we had to walk.

00:15:21.520 There were so many protesters around the city.

00:15:23.400 I didn't think that they were they didn't look total antifa to me, but these weren't exact.

00:15:28.140 But they also they weren't your friendly left protesters either.

00:15:32.000 And I had to get out of my car around five blocks or so and walk up, walk up to the Washington, to the Hilton. 0.74

00:15:37.300 And you heard people screaming about Iran, about that he's a, that the president's a pedophile, Epstein's best friend. And you then get, you then get to the hotel and they make you just flash your, your invite. And yes, the invite is unique. There, there is some, you know, but it can easily be copied.

00:16:01.700 And then you get into the lobby of the hotel right at the entrance where President Reagan was shot.

00:16:07.520 And, you know, it's a regular hotel.

00:16:09.200 You know, there's a couple different bar, restaurants.

00:16:12.080 But the escalator down is right, you know, it's very, very close.

00:16:17.860 It's still kind of tight quarters because also remember, this is D.C.

00:16:21.480 There's just not a lot of space for everything, right?

00:16:23.500 And you go down the first escalator where the red carpet is.

00:16:28.540 And so it was it was a pretty tight situation. You know, it's ironic to me. I'll bring up one other point. I worked for President Trump in 2010. And he told me how he had spoken to David Axelrod, who he knew through The Scarborough Show. And he said to Axelrod, when Obama was elected, he said, you got to let me build a ballroom.

00:16:46.540 And he said, because you and now from his point of view, it wasn't security at that point.

00:16:49.860 But he said, you know, you're you're hosting world leaders.

00:16:51.860 You're having these state dinners and you guys are sitting under tents.

00:16:55.300 And Axelrod, you know, told this to the press and laughed at President Trump.

00:16:59.820 And just like, you know, this this assassination attempt where they didn't get him once again, he's going to be proven right.

00:17:06.000 And that ballroom and that ballroom will be there.

00:17:08.460 I'm not going to criticize myself, the Secret Service.

00:17:13.060 I just think that this event itself, it just cannot be held here. It cannot be held at that hotel anymore. Once again, as I said, I mean, here it's practical. It seems to me that there are reports that the gunman somehow slipped through on stairs and there was a doorway that he got through. But you can't have 200 plus guests in here and you can't have the entire cabinet there.

00:17:41.580 Well, and Sam, you know, it's, no, and I certainly agree with you. It should have been a tier one event. And that was the front cover of the Washington Post this morning, where even the Washington Post is saying, why was this not declared a tier one national security event? And when you look at the Washington Hilton, and I don't know that anyone's actually put it this way yet, but we do need to say this.

00:18:01.060 There have now been two attempted presidential assassinations at the same hotel.

00:18:08.560 How could you go back to that?

00:18:10.080 I'm sorry.

00:18:10.820 I'm just, how could you step foot in that place again?

00:18:12.580 I don't get it.

00:18:13.880 And, you know, there may be another assassination then because I think it's absolutely abhorrent 0.89

00:18:18.180 that Norah O'Donnell sat there across from President Trump the day after this and she 0.88

00:18:22.740 starts reading the manifesto.

00:18:25.000 And what other world would the media read a manifest stuff to the attempted victim?

00:18:31.920 What other world would they do this?

00:18:33.040 Only to President Trump.

00:18:33.880 No, only to President Trump.

00:18:34.920 And they won't do it to another Republican either.

00:18:36.320 Sam, we've got a quick break coming up.

00:18:38.540 Hold that thought because I want to get into that in the very next segment.

00:18:41.480 Let's talk about some of the response of this and around it.

00:18:44.320 Jack Posobiec, eyewitness, Sam Nunberg, former Trump advisor, Human Events Daily.

00:18:49.980 You talk about influences.

00:18:51.540 These are influences, and they're friends of mine, Jack Kosovic.

00:18:57.460 Where's Jack?

00:18:58.440 Jack.

00:18:59.440 He's done a great job.

00:19:04.140 All right, folks, Jack Kosovic.

00:19:05.500 We're back live here, Human Events Daily, and I do want to get in,

00:19:09.960 so I believe the charges have now been read.

00:19:14.040 And so let's, yeah, we've got the list of charts here.

00:19:16.700 I want to read this real quick.

00:19:18.060 Attempted assassination of the president of the United States,

00:19:20.160 Maximum penalty, life in prison, transportation of a firearm slash ammunition across state lines, maximum penalty 10 years, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, which, interesting, minimum 10 years, must run consecutive other sentences, suspect remains in custody, detention hearing set for Thursday, April 30th.

00:19:38.640 This is before the magistrate judge. So interesting. They are charging him with discharge of a firearm because, Sam, I was actually just going to ask you that question is, you know, do you think you heard a shotgun go off?

00:19:54.760 Now we're hearing that, you know, he's being charged with discharge of a firearm. Was that was that something that you were able to hear or tell from your vantage point?

00:20:03.860 you know i've been to the gun range but i definitely heard a large pop it did but i

00:20:14.380 would assume that it was uh maybe because of the way he built this thing or he put something around

00:20:19.840 it but i would assume that it was him discharging a shot because i heard one shot and then i heard

00:20:26.800 multiple shots fired afterwards so i definitely think he discharged his uh firearm that's right

00:20:34.700 and and there's a c-span clip that has it as well that has the audio and it does sound like

00:20:39.940 that first you know that pop that crack and then you know and then a pause and then pop pop pop

00:20:46.380 pop pop immediately after that so that may have been the discharge of the firearm that we are

00:20:51.940 that we're seeing him charge of and of course the investigation uh continues on from here

00:20:56.640 and we're going to get more information and certainly hope we do get more information from

00:20:59.960 this and from the manifesto. But when you mentioned the manifesto, and I'll just say for myself

00:21:04.380 reading it, what struck me as so interesting was that it didn't seem any, you know, any example of

00:21:12.540 being deranged. It didn't seem like he was schizophrenic. There were no ramblings in this

00:21:17.280 at all. It was just simple, straightforward content that you would see from MSNBC or Blue

00:21:24.840 sky. And he said, because of these things, I have now decided to take it upon my hands to take out

00:21:31.360 the president. And then, Sam, to your point, the manifesto gets read to the attempted victim

00:21:39.700 to his face the next day. I've never seen anything like this.

00:21:45.180 Right. I mean, if you notice, you and I are not mentioning his name. You and I are not,

00:21:49.640 uh you know going to talk about what you know read the specifics of the of the manifesto let's

00:21:55.480 say and but to do that on cbs 60 minutes as well that's a that's the legacy largest news news

00:22:02.920 magazine program in the united states and everyone or anyone that interview probably had 20 plus

00:22:09.180 million viewers on linear dying tv so the fact that she she would read that to him it's uh you 1.00

00:22:17.780 And, you know, she's probably so stupid that she didn't even understand what she was doing. 1.00

00:22:22.880 You know, you can't blame her from that point of view. 1.00

00:22:24.900 But somebody should have told her, look, there, that she can't read it.

00:22:27.940 And, you know, I noticed people like Dana White, me, others, you know, we're pretty calm and cool when something like this happens.

00:22:36.860 It's the left and corporate media.

00:22:40.380 Those are the ones that are, quote unquote, so traumatized.

00:22:43.060 They're sitting downstairs in the ballroom where this event, you know, or something like this.

00:22:47.680 This gentleman had no way of getting in because of where he tried to enter.

00:22:52.040 And they're the ones that promote this.

00:22:55.080 I would say we have not had any violence from anybody connected or giving our talking points since maybe 2018.

00:23:04.500 There was one bomber or something that he sent things off before the midterms.

00:23:09.680 But, you know, you had somebody like Steve Scalise at that event, Jack.

00:23:13.220 He's already been a victim, he's already been killed.

00:23:14.860 And, of course, President Trump.

00:23:16.920 And it's just not going to stop.

00:23:19.200 And when they – I saw Jamie Raskin interviewed by Dana Bash yesterday.

00:23:24.620 And Dana Bash was commenting, saying, what a nice message the president gave, the correct message after this.

00:23:30.320 And Raskin just looks, you know, sarcastically and says, well, that's not the way he normally talks.

00:23:36.200 I never noticed.

00:23:37.160 We could talk about Jeffrey Epstein. We could talk about whether we think it was handled well.

00:23:43.180 I mean, I remember when you were in the White House and Bondi gives you a bunch of documents that had already been released.

00:23:49.040 But let's remember, the fact of the matter is that you have a leftist. 1.00

00:23:52.900 And I have these people, these protesters screaming at me that Donald Trump's a pedophile and a rapist. 0.99

00:23:57.660 And Donald Trump is the one who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein. 0.99

00:24:00.960 George W. Bush is the one who gave him a sweetheart deal. Barack Obama didn't do anything.

00:24:04.200 And I would note that after Epstein, I believe, killed himself in that prison, from 2021 till 2025, you had the most porous, unsecure border where children are being trafficked.

00:24:16.740 We're being trafficked across there.

00:24:18.700 And that border is closed now, is closed.

00:24:22.740 So there's nobody that has protected children more in the modern age than President Trump.

00:24:27.500 And he's trying to stop this.

00:24:28.620 And when you hear Dan Bongino, what Cash and him are doing and trying to do going after these rings, my question always is when I hear what Dan Bongino's been doing is why wasn't this done before?

00:24:41.300 Why wasn't this done before?

00:24:43.140 You know, they simply they will never let this man live a normal life.

00:24:47.560 They will never they can never get over that he was elected president.

00:24:50.620 Because just like you and I, when we were talking about this early on in the campaign, he was essentially a third party candidate taking over both parties.

00:24:58.620 Both parties. So he's a threat to both. And Sam, it's it's real simple because you'll see the Democrats.

00:25:03.680 They'll say, oh, you know, you bring up political violence and you bring up the rhetoric and you talk SPLC and you talk the way they target people.

00:25:10.500 And they put a target on the back of Charlie Kirk. And right before he was killed, just a couple of months before, at the beginning of the summer of 2025.

00:25:18.740 And yet they never seem willing to police their own side when it comes to this.

00:25:24.360 But if you make one off-color joke on the right, they immediately, and it used to be before Elon, they would censor you immediately.

00:25:33.720 Exactly. Exactly. And, you know, they're basically, a lot of their side is crazy to begin with.

00:25:42.920 So their type of rhetoric, you're going to have more and more of this, frankly. 0.92

00:25:46.760 And they're not mentally well, a lot of them, whether it's a trans community or somebody like this person. 0.57

00:25:55.220 And it's just they really need to cool down the temperature. 0.99

00:25:59.180 They need to get over it.

00:26:00.820 OK, Donald Trump is here to stay.

00:26:03.260 You know, he's a historical figure and he's going to leave a lasting legacy, a better one.

00:26:08.620 And he certainly will. Sam, we're just about out of time.

00:26:11.580 Thanks for coming on, brother. Come on again. Where can people go to follow you?

00:26:41.500 great job jack thank you what a job you do you know we have an incredible thing we're always

00:26:48.960 talking about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting

00:26:53.900 all right jack was up we're back live here human events daily real america's voice fluoride folks

00:27:04.020 For years, the government has been medicating your water with it, and we know that it isn't just because you didn't ask for it, you didn't vote for it, because they decided you need it.

00:27:14.980 Well, it's not a decision that I want something else making for my family, which is why I filter every drop of water in my home with Cove Pure.

00:27:22.500 Over 209 million Americans are on fluorided water right now.

00:27:27.620 And here's what the science actually shows.

00:27:29.520 In September 2024, a federal judge ruled that adding fluoride to water poses, and I'm quoting the court directly, an unreasonable risk to neurological health.

00:27:38.440 Not a fringe study, a federal court ordering EPA to act.

00:27:42.760 Then in January 2025, a study published by JAMA Pediatrics, one of the most respected medical journals in the world, confirmed a link between fluoride exposure and children's IQ scores.

00:27:53.100 Higher the exposure, the lower the IQ. 0.81

00:27:55.160 Shershom states are moving on this.

00:27:56.680 Utah and Florida have banned it, but that process takes years.

00:27:59.520 Your kids, your family, they're drinking this water today.

00:28:02.180 You need something that works now.

00:28:04.420 And that's exactly what Cove Pure is.

00:28:06.480 It's ClearWave Reverse Osmosis Technology is certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants.

00:28:12.300 Fluoride, PFAS, lead, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, anything that isn't water gets filtered out.

00:28:16.900 So don't wait for the government to catch up.

00:28:18.760 Go get yourself a Cove Pure.

00:28:20.560 We love ours.

00:28:21.540 Me and Tay and Tay, we drink it every single day.

00:28:23.140 We tell the kids it's super water.

00:28:25.680 And so we tell the kids that it's your super water.

00:28:27.400 So go to covepure.com slash POSO.

00:28:30.080 You'll get $250 off.

00:28:31.760 That's C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E dot com slash POSO.

00:28:35.760 All right, folks, we have another individual, a member of the administration who was there at the event.

00:28:42.740 Lena Haba, senior advisor to attorney general, joins us now.

00:28:46.060 Lena, how are you?

00:28:49.080 I'm good, Jack.

00:28:50.140 Thanks for having me.

00:28:51.460 Well, and thank you for coming on.

00:28:52.820 And I appreciate you doing so there from the White House, where obviously things are tense today.

00:28:59.340 Walk us through what happened from your perspective that evening.

00:29:06.600 Sure. The night started out normal, obviously.

00:29:10.340 And it's pretty much your nightmare for anybody that's there for a purpose, which was to support each other and see the president speak for the first time as a president.

00:29:21.820 at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and I was sitting, and all of a sudden I just heard

00:29:27.080 gunshots, and I wasn't really, I thought I heard it, and then I looked around and realized people

00:29:33.240 started hitting the floor, and they were screaming, shots fired, get down, get down. So I, you know,

00:29:38.900 in my gown, got on the floor like everybody else and took cover. It was frightening, honestly. And

00:29:45.400 then I saw Secret Service run in. I saw them with their guns up, so I knew something was wrong. I

00:29:49.340 saw the president get rushed off. Um, and I think my biggest concern was making sure he didn't get

00:29:53.460 hit at that moment and to get out of there safely for my children and my family. No, and, and, and

00:30:00.100 so many there with family members, wives, um, Katie Miller, who's pregnant and, and Stephen

00:30:08.680 and Caroline Levitt, who's pregnant, her husband there. It's just so, and other, by the way,

00:30:16.840 other members of the admin. There's the whole pregnancy thing going on in the admin right now.

00:30:21.440 And the idea that something like this would happen, and I hate to say it, Alina,

00:30:26.160 now as terrible as it was and as awful as it was, were you really surprised that there was

00:30:31.460 yet another assassination attempt on this president? I wish I could say I was. I think

00:30:39.540 it's a real result of the rhetoric. You heard Caroline Levitt, I'm sure, at her press conference.

00:30:44.200 I think she stated it perfectly. This is political violence. It has to stop. There's not a question. 1.00

00:30:50.540 It's not a debatable fact. It's a fact. We saw his manifesto, the fact that he wanted to take

00:30:55.400 down Trump officials, the fact that a lot of his sentiments echo those statements that you see

00:30:59.680 on social media, that you see on networks that are so frankly creating radicalization, in my

00:31:06.740 opinion. And we're seeing it time and time again. I mean, the man has publicly had three assassination

00:31:12.760 attempts. And that's not even, you know, disclosing, I'm sure, the private things that we don't know

00:31:18.380 about that I'm sure is going on. And it's just not right. You know, I've sat through Democratic

00:31:23.120 presidents like you have. We weren't doing this. We weren't having assassination attempts on their

00:31:28.780 life because of rhetoric and a psychiatric problem, frankly, that when we say TDS, it's almost

00:31:35.040 too light to say it that way. It's not Trump derangement syndrome. It's much deeper than that.

00:31:39.320 And it's a hatred that not just goes to President Trump, but anybody in his cabinet, anybody who's working for him and his top officials of the administration and frankly, even normal people that don't deserve it, that just are conservative, that agree with his policies, that agree with the country, that agree with how well he's doing for our country right now.

00:31:57.520 And we've become very polarized.

00:31:59.540 And this is a result of that.

00:32:01.320 And I understand that you were actually with Erica Kirk earlier in the evening.

00:32:09.940 Yes. Yeah. It was a pleasure to see her. And I'm sad that she was there because I can't imagine,

00:32:16.420 you know, obviously Charlie was a friend of ours and I cannot imagine. And I obviously saw

00:32:20.620 how upset she was and rightfully so. The trauma of having to go through that and endure that so

00:32:25.780 soon after your husband's passing and tragic assassination and to actually have to live that

00:32:30.760 was I pray for her. I prayed for her anyway, but I prayed for her particularly after that event.

00:32:36.520 She's such a kind soul. And it was it was sad. But I'm glad I got a good hug in before, unfortunately, the events unfolded.

00:32:43.520 No, I'm glad you were able to do so. I, you know, having gone through that experience after Charlie and then seeing something like this, it's nobody.

00:32:52.520 Nobody should have to do this. Nobody deserves this. Erica doesn't deserve this.

00:32:56.520 this. Nobody does. To think that something like this could happen just seven months after and then 1.00

00:33:02.440 here we are again with more shots fired, more shots being, you know, ringing out, steps away

00:33:08.500 from where people are dressed up to be polite, to be peaceful. Something has gone completely wrong

00:33:16.780 in our country. And by the way, if this were on the right, I'd want it cleaned up. If this were

00:33:21.260 on the left, which it is, I want it cleaned up as well. Is that so much to ask as a basic American

00:33:26.220 citizen? No, I don't think so. I think you're 100 percent right. But I think we also have to

00:33:32.940 look at being accountable to those voices that are so anti-Trump, that are so anti this

00:33:39.340 administration, that are literally spewing lies to get brownie points in the political world or

00:33:44.500 to get somebody elected that are so sick, that are creating this mentality of people that maybe

00:33:49.040 aren't so educated on the ins and outs, or maybe they are, but they're just echoing what they hear.

00:33:54.220 They're echo chambers, and it's creating a radicalization that is unacceptable.

00:33:58.580 We should not be experiencing this.

00:34:00.440 I have known the president for many, many years now, obviously, and the radicalization

00:34:05.720 that I've seen just in the time that I've known him, it's only gotten exponentially

00:34:09.540 worse.

00:34:10.300 And now we're sitting, I'm sitting on the floor hearing gunshots at an event that they're

00:34:13.480 targeting, not just him, but also officials.

00:34:16.620 It's disturbing.

00:34:17.640 It's beyond disturbing. 0.99

00:34:18.460 It's un-American. 0.86

00:34:19.260 And I really do hope this country can just bring it back to center, where people are

00:34:23.420 allowed to have differences, where people can respect those differences. And you can have

00:34:26.580 debate. Charlie was big on that. It's OK to have debate, to talk, to disagree. But this reaction,

00:34:33.760 this sickness that we're seeing, it's just wrong. Weaponization and pulling out guns and bullets,

00:34:40.740 it's not OK. It's not the way to handle disagreements. And it's most certainly not

00:34:44.200 going to help anything. I've actually said in the past that I think it starts with censorship,

00:34:48.560 that it starts with this idea of you're not allowed to say that and your words are violence,

00:34:55.220 which we saw on college campuses. We saw on big tech. And it's this idea that we have to shut

00:35:01.860 down the speech that we don't like. Well, if you can't get it off campus and you can't get it off

00:35:06.840 social media, what's the final step that people would take? And that seems to be the way these

00:35:12.440 people are thinking. That's right. And, you know, also you see people complain that, you know,

00:35:20.020 Oh, first amendment violations, all these things. So that's not, you can't lie. You have a

00:35:25.020 responsibility when you hold a mic, like I am, when you hold a mic, like you do, when you have

00:35:28.720 a voice, no matter how big or how small you have a responsibility, uh, you should be educating

00:35:33.620 more than inflaming. And I think that realistically, what we're seeing from the 0.91

00:35:37.820 left is just straight inflammation of of of this country and polarization that I've never seen

00:35:44.320 before. And it's it's very scary time for us. No, it absolutely is. And look, you and I could

00:35:49.780 sit here and go through the list of incendiary comments that have been made by Democrats,

00:35:54.180 officials, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Jamie Raskin and so many others. We could go through

00:36:00.240 late night hosts and on air hosts, which they don't actually seem to be any difference or any

00:36:06.180 any daylight between the rhetoric that you see beyond here.

00:36:10.300 And they've created this ecosystem, and it all needs to stop.

00:36:14.300 It all absolutely needs to stop where they sit there and they say,

00:36:19.520 well, this needs to happen, or this needs to happen, or this needs to happen.

00:36:22.120 And we find out, and this is an incredible indictment over the SPLC,

00:36:25.120 where they were paying for our extremist groups to go out and say these terrible things,

00:36:31.440 And then the left could point to them and say and then use that to be tied to Trump and MAGA and just sort of your average conservative organization like Turning Point USA and saying, oh, see, they're all the same and they all need to be stopped.

00:36:45.820 And then you know what? Somebody eventually gets the message and they pick up a gun and decide to take matters into their own hands.

00:36:52.800 We've got a quick break. I'd love to be able to hold you on because this is such an important conversation.

00:36:59.380 One more segment. If you can stay with us, I'd really appreciate it. Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice.

00:37:04.100 Call this the Jack Posobiec Appreciation Hour.

00:37:06.440 I can say confidently, I believe, I think Josh Shapiro would be the vice presidential nominee if it wasn't for Jack Posobiec.

00:37:12.400 And that is, I'll be honest.

00:37:14.340 All right, Jack Kosovic, we're back live.

00:37:21.040 We're here at Human Events Daily, Real America's Voice, Washington, D.C.

00:37:24.920 We're on with Senior Advisor to the Attorney General Alina Haba.

00:37:28.000 She's very graciously agreed to come back to a second segment with us after some meetings that she was having at the White House.

00:37:35.500 This is, of course, after the press briefing that we saw with Caroline Levitt.

00:37:39.320 Alina, actually, if I could just ask you what, you know, obviously, we know you can't get into the off the record details, but what's the mood at the White House today?

00:37:51.000 You know, I have to tell you, resilience, as always, you know, there's a real call for transparency and accountability.

00:37:59.940 I think that we have to acknowledge that certain statements cannot be made and should not be made.

00:38:05.480 And everybody's on the same page. Look, we are under the great leadership of President Trump.

00:38:11.600 And the man is fearless. He is in love with this country. And it shows in moments like these

00:38:20.640 moments, unfortunately, that should never happen like Saturday and his reaction. It kind of leads

00:38:25.640 the way for everybody that works under him. And you see that, you know, Caroline, she wasn't

00:38:30.160 supposed to be here today and she showed up and it was important for her to do that. And as she

00:38:34.780 said, we're public servants and we're under the great leadership of President Trump. And he sets

00:38:38.900 an example for us all. That's exactly right. You know, I'm looking more and we've been digging in

00:38:45.260 here at Human Events and, you know, up all weekend as well into the background of this shooter. And

00:38:51.200 it's something that, you know, I think might seem surprising to a lot of people because we see an

00:38:56.100 individual here who high achievement in high school and college academics, elite level

00:39:04.120 academics, high SAT scores, and we're also seeing that he was a teacher. What is going on that we

00:39:13.280 have teachers now being so radicalized? And of course, we've talked about indoctrination on

00:39:19.240 campus. My gosh, that's what Charlie Kirk built his entire career, was talking about indoctrination

00:39:24.880 on campus. How has it gotten so bad that even teachers are doing something like this?

00:39:31.080 well i think it's an important point i don't think that there's anybody that's um not able

00:39:38.580 to be permeated by the messages that are being received and indoctrinated and even this individual

00:39:44.580 i mean it is scary to me that he was a teacher but to be honest uh when i was the u.s attorney

00:39:49.300 i saw things that i never thought i would see uh that are incredibly disturbing when you see what's

00:39:53.960 actually happening in in some of our school systems in some of uh just our communities

00:39:58.940 And it doesn't matter who you are.

00:40:00.180 It doesn't matter what your background is or your education.

00:40:03.020 Radicalization is a real thing.

00:40:04.060 And I think that you have to call that.

00:40:05.480 This is what that was.

00:40:06.940 The manifesto speaks to that, you know, and it doesn't matter who you are.

00:40:11.480 It's scary that it's a teacher, but it's not surprising to me because some of these people, if they're vulnerable enough to listen to some of the rhetoric and be consuming it in an unhealthy manner, things like this will happen.

00:40:24.980 And I think it's an important message.

00:40:26.280 can't assume that it's just mentally disturbed individuals that would take a gun and try and

00:40:30.900 shoot a president or administration leaders. I think it's crazy, but I also think it's important 0.69

00:40:36.100 that we recognize that exact point. This was not some bum. This was not some random person.

00:40:41.880 He had a job, you know, he and it still happened and he still did this and he was still willing

00:40:47.300 to ruin his own life for the sake of killing leadership and the president of the United States.

00:40:53.320 no it shows that this is pervasive it shows and and and yes we've got some photos up that seems

00:41:00.840 that he was from a loving family a tight family um so that some of the normal excuses i think fall

00:41:07.200 away and what we really do have to hone in on and barack obama of course came out and told us that

00:41:13.940 uh we we have no idea what the motive is and barack obama said we still don't know even though

00:41:18.920 there's a manifesto and it's very clear this is left-wing violent ideology it has become

00:41:25.260 radicalized the same way like when i was at gitmo and we would have the radical islamic terrorist

00:41:30.940 that they would state that radical islam was their ideology that was their motivating factor

00:41:38.400 and so alina from that perspective why is it that we keep hearing over and over that the media won't

00:41:45.560 come out and just tell us that this was the motive. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why

00:41:52.700 Jimmy Kimmel still has a job after what he did, to be honest. I mean, that was another despicable

00:41:57.920 event. But how dare he? What he said was just disgusting. I mean, beyond the pale of things

00:42:04.160 that I'm frankly, unfortunately, getting used to hearing, have heard it for years. But there are

00:42:08.440 there are no boundaries anymore with this left wing rhetoric. There's no boundaries and you have

00:42:14.360 to stop. The president is calling for it. The press secretary called for it. And I'm calling

00:42:20.520 for it for what it's worth. You know, it's unhealthy. It was already bad when we were

00:42:25.360 dealing with the weaponization of the justice system for the last, frankly, it's been years

00:42:30.300 before my time. But you're seeing people win elections on getting Trump, right? That's how

00:42:36.720 I started. That's how I became known to this world. And it's disgusting that somebody could

00:42:42.540 do that and win an election that's what's come down to not policies not uh campaign strategies

00:42:48.600 which president trump has stuck to everything he promised he has been trying to do and has done

00:42:54.300 and has succeeded and beyond and he's putting america first as he promised and making america

00:42:59.400 great again as he promised we have a sick sick world right now and it is being poisoned by that

00:43:06.320 left-wing radical rhetoric and it has to stop and by the way people like jimmy should be held

00:43:10.620 accountable. Look, I remember Jimmy, when Charlie was killed, Jimmy Kimmel was the first one who

00:43:17.000 went on TV and lied, just absolutely lied again about the motivations of that assassin in that

00:43:24.260 case, where he said he blamed it on MAGA. He blamed it on people who have been peaceful towards

00:43:32.000 political opponents. He said it was not his side's problem. He's got a huge blind spot,

00:43:37.820 But actually, and I'm just going to say it, I think he does these things on purpose.

00:43:41.300 I think he does these things on purpose because he wants his side to believe that it's always the other side's fault.

00:43:50.280 Of course they do. It's all intentional.

00:43:52.360 I mean, it's intentional and the networks that host them and pay them need to be aware that, you know, that it's unacceptable and hold them accountable.

00:44:00.000 You know, it's no different than anybody in a job.

00:44:01.980 You cannot allow it.

00:44:03.100 You cannot allow him to say the things he said about the first lady and the president.

00:44:07.080 You cannot allow it. You are setting a horrible example that is not just an example, but it is creating a real life problem, as we've seen time and time again.

00:44:15.460 And I hope in my in my lifetime that that is the last time I hear or see anything like this again for any president.

00:44:22.720 Well, you know, you mentioned the networks. And if I remember correctly, I think I saw some some news that you yourself might be going on ABC in short order here.

00:44:35.060 did i see something across my across the news desk here that you're going to be on the view

00:44:39.680 i am i am i'm going to be on the view on wednesday yep so something tells me that this might come up

00:44:49.780 i mean i hope so i hope so look i hope to engage in some some uh conversations that i think need

00:44:59.520 to be had. And look, the view they've spoken about me before, they like to say whatever they

00:45:06.060 think their talkers are. But that's a perfect example. Again, ABC host Jimmy Kimmel of them

00:45:12.460 needing to be accountable for the words that they use and and being careful of the damage that it's

00:45:17.260 causing. And I look forward to joining them and and we'll see how it goes. I'll be there on Wednesday.

00:45:23.180 No, I'm certainly I look, you know, I certainly hope that it's a good discussion.

00:45:29.500 You know, you'd think in the wake of something like this, that maybe we could all find some common ground and agree that, hey, if we're doing media or serving government like yourself as a public official, that we could all agree on certain ground rules.

00:45:42.700 Even if we disagree on policy, we should never make it personal.

00:45:46.860 I don't know. How do you think it's going to go?

00:45:48.460 100 percent 100 percent i hope so you know it's up to them um obviously i'm not one to take things

00:45:55.760 uh down lightly but i i will say that um i my hope is to come in and have an actual discussion

00:46:02.300 that's informative not inflammatory um and uh i think their responsibility and mine as a guest

00:46:08.280 is to try and keep the temperature down and to educate the country that different views are okay

00:46:14.280 and respect them.

00:46:16.260 And I know I'll do my part to hold that up,

00:46:18.920 but we'll see how it goes.

00:46:21.280 Well, I appreciate you taking the time with us.

00:46:23.100 Alina Habba, thank you again for joining us here
