Sean Parnell, who was there, is infuriated with the Secret Service's lack of concern or care. He joins the program to discuss what happened in Butler, PA, and his thoughts on the lack of response from the U.S. Secret Service to a sniper attack on a pro-Trump rally. Charlie and Sean discuss the events that took place and the cover-up that has been going on since the shooting, and why they are so infuriated by the incompetence and negligence of the United States Secret Service and the incompetence of the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, the DEA, Homeland Security and other agencies responsible for protecting the President and the President's safety and security and how they failed to respond to the attack in a timely and effective manner to save the lives of a man who was seconds away from being shot to death by a sniper on a Pennsylvania street corner on Nov. 6th, 2018, in a presidential campaign rally in the town of Butler, Pa.

00:01:41.000Sean, I want to get your instant reaction of acting director Rose's testimony right now, and also your thoughts on just the general lack of improvement from the U.S.
00:01:51.000Secret Service, as Donald Trump is still not safe.
00:01:54.000Yeah, Charlie, first of all, thank you for having me.
00:01:56.000But, you know, Roe, the acting director of the United States Secret Service, doesn't seem to be much better than Cheadle.
00:02:26.000And you talk about the deep state, you talk about the blob, call it an entrenched bureaucracy, whatever you want, but Cheadle's testimony was a perfect microcosm of the dangers of that.
00:02:35.000Here you have Republicans and Democrat members of Congress asking her questions and her thumbing her nose at them.
00:02:42.000These are representatives of the people and these entrenched bureaucrats, these deep staters, they don't care.
00:02:48.000And so it is The thing that I can't wrap my mind around, Charlie, and I've been trying to piece this together every single day for two weeks, is how something like this happens.
00:03:00.000And the fact that the United States Secret Service continues to try to blame this on local law enforcement is absolutely mind-boggling to me.
00:03:09.000And by the way, good on the local law enforcement types, like the Beaver County SWAT guys that were on ABC the other day, good on them for coming out and defending themselves.
00:03:18.000But the fact that the United States Secret Service Didn't even have their morning meeting with those guys?
00:03:22.000It is dereliction of duty of the highest order, Charlie.
00:03:25.000And so I'm just saying this right here on your show.
00:03:28.000I'm telling you, this is, I'm not talking about boots on the ground, Secret Service, people willing to sacrifice their life, put their body between a bullet and President Trump.
00:03:38.000But there is some serious willful negligence going on at the highest levels in our government.
00:03:44.000I believe that they tried to starve President Trump of resources, In the hopes that somebody took a shot at them, which would give them plausible deniability, which I know it's an explosive thing to say, but nothing else makes sense about this.
00:03:57.000Well, Sean, I want you to remind our audience that you have significant military experience, and so logistical type of... I was there!
00:04:16.000I knew the sniper fire was coming from the building.
00:04:19.000And so if I knew that in the chaos of the moment, how does the United States Secret Service not know that?
00:04:24.000And we come to find out now that the counter-sniper tactical plan wasn't even signed off on until a day in advance.
00:04:31.000Now, these guys are typically on site doing reconnaissance five, six days in advance to an event, but the plan is signed off on a day in advance.
00:04:39.000We have absolutely no information as to how this happened.
00:04:45.000The Secret Service, it's really important for people to understand this.
00:04:49.000For all my life, they have largely been considered as the premier protection agency in the world.
00:04:56.000The fact that they are considered that has deterred countless threats against their protectees.
00:05:03.000But that's not the case anymore, because they were outsmarted by a 20-something kid, who by the way, has anybody even asked the question, how does a 20-something year old kid, when Donald Trump and his team announce a rally 7 to 10 days in advance, he gets on site, he flies a drone, he draws a range card, he figures out, he brings a range finder, he takes a shot at a president, he gets up on a roof, how does all this happen in 7 days?
00:05:41.000I mean, the law enforcement, not the feds or local law enforcement have had a single press conference about this for run of the mill crime.
00:05:49.000There are press conferences about this.
00:05:51.000And now we have an assassination attempt on the presumptive Republican nominee, and likely the next President of the United States, and we know nothing?
00:05:58.000It is absolutely infuriating, and the American people, both Democrat and Republican, should not tolerate this.
00:06:05.000But we are tolerating it, and I'll tell you that, you know, we had Donald Trump on Friday in Palm Beach, and we've done many, many Trump events.
00:07:01.000And listen, you know, you have Representative Cory Mills that's asking this question.
00:07:06.000Hey, there's been a significant escalation here.
00:07:08.000The FBI tapped this guy's phones as a private citizen.
00:07:12.000Our intelligence community fabricated intelligence on him and tried to destroy Trump's life and the lives of his children.
00:07:19.000Now they're trying to throw this guy in jail for the rest of his life and use the enormous power of government to crush his business and destroy his legacy and tear apart his name.
00:07:35.000And you have a member of Congress and a great member of Congress in Corey Mills saying, Was this willful negligence?
00:07:42.000And every member, almost every member of the media is like, oh, I feel uncomfortable talking about it.
00:07:47.000It's like, well, yeah, you might feel uncomfortable talking about it, but isn't that the question?
00:07:52.000And the fact that almost everybody universally is saying that we're not allowed to ask it should tell you something.
00:07:58.000Because look, I hope that we can rule it out.
00:08:01.000But if that question is not on the table, then how do you ever say that didn't happen?
00:08:06.000And it absolutely needs to happen because number one, we're 60 days out from a potential investigative report from the United States Secret Service, which in and of itself is ridiculous.
00:08:16.000But Democrats and Republicans, this is a bipartisan thing.
00:08:19.000They're going to be on the campaign trail and President Trump's not safe, but neither is Kamala Harris at this point.
00:08:25.000You know, it's just like, It's just mind-blowing to me.
00:08:28.000So help me understand, Sean, you have significant military experience, retired army infantry captain with the elite 10th Mountain Division, right?
00:08:36.000The best of the best that our military has.
00:08:38.000So I'm not an expert by any means here.
00:08:41.000So what I never understood is how quickly the counter-snipers were able to neutralize him.
00:08:48.000And, but they weren't able to neutralize him 15 seconds prior.
00:08:53.000And so, that means that they must have had him in scope, or they must have been looking at him 20 seconds ahead of time?
00:09:29.000Part of me thinks, now again, I can't substantiate this, but if you're a counter-sniper team, one of those counter-sniper teams was perhaps even a local law enforcement element that did not have their meeting with the United States Secret Service counter-sniper team or the Secret Service that morning, right?
00:09:57.000That split second hesitation, people die.
00:10:00.000And that's why that communication between the United States Secret Service and local law enforcement on the ground, everybody having a task, purpose, and a mission, an assignment, people on the building have a direct tactical channel to the counter snipers.
00:10:12.000The fact that there wasn't an open tactical channel Where people could communicate back and forth in a fluid way is, again, mind-blowing to me.
00:10:20.000But I think, Charlie, I don't know this for sure, but they're looking down the scopes at this person in the prone, like looking, and then say, well, is that a friendly?
00:10:32.000But then realizing it wasn't, and then taking the shot.
00:10:34.000But by then... Hold on, but Sean, don't you have, like, 50 times magnifying ability, and you see some kid not in a uniform with an AR-15 with long hair?
00:10:52.000Hold on, hold on, I don't buy any of this.
00:10:54.000I understand what you're saying, but you're trying to tell me that these guys have the higher ground and they don't see him army crawling on a white roof in the middle of the day?
00:11:03.000And then they're able to, as soon as Crook starts shooting, they're able to get themselves in a position to take a one in a million shot to neutralize him immediately?
00:11:12.000And no one could have been like, hey, get Trump off the stage?
00:11:14.000They don't have a... Well, I could agree.
00:11:18.000The more I learn, the more I think there's a very dark element at play here.

00:12:28.000We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service snipers whenever they arrived and that never happened.
00:12:35.000So, I think that that was probably a pivotal point where I started thinking things were wrong because that never happened and we had no communication with the Secret Service.
00:12:45.000You had no communication with the Secret Service at all on that Saturday?
00:12:57.000It's just like an unbelievable, I've said it before, I'll say it again, an unbelievable dereliction of duty by the United States Secret Service to do something like that.
00:13:05.000And, you know, I know you think it's incomprehensible to have a sniper look down the scope, think friendly, maybe not friendly, but it's in that Split second of hesitation like wait that's a dude in long hair that's not somebody in a uniform you pull your eye back from the scope and then you get back on the scope and pull the trigger maybe a second two goes by but that sniper still able to get six rounds on the target and that right there is exactly what I'm talking about those meetings you
00:13:30.000You know, those Beaver County SWAT guys that you just showed, that's why those meetings with the United States Secret Service are so critically important.
00:13:38.000Because even now we're like, well, were officers assigned to be on that roof?
00:13:41.000Did Secret Service task them with that?
00:13:43.000Oh, I've heard that it was too hot and maybe they were in the window.
00:13:47.000But now we learned that if even if you were in the window, you could have easily seen crooks on the lower roof.
00:13:52.000But more than that, like one of the biggest things that really not a whole heck of a lot of people are talking about, Is that there are two counter-sniper teams positioned directly behind President Trump as you look at the television, if you're watching the rally on TV.
00:14:04.000Directly over his left shoulder and his right shoulder, looking out over the crowd.
00:14:08.000But what about counter-sniper teams looking in the opposite direction?
00:14:12.000One of which would have been on that rooftop, looking at the wood line.
00:14:15.000The five or six kilometers of wood line directly behind President Trump.
00:14:20.000So it's just like, there was no overwatch on that.
00:14:26.000So in the moment, I was thinking that there were multiple shooters and maybe this was a more complex attack than it was.
00:14:31.000And I'm thinking, well, there's not going to be the manpower to search that wood line.
00:14:36.000So we have to make sure that we have, you know, an evacuation plan for these people to make sure they're protected from that.
00:14:41.000But again, I'm asking questions like that on the ground as a civilian, but the United States Secret Service, at least it seems at this point, Didn't even consider it.
00:14:50.000I want to get to this story here from the Washington Post.
00:14:54.000Pennsylvania presidential elections could take days to count.
00:14:57.000Sean, the entire election could come down to Pennsylvania.
00:16:16.000And so with Shapiro as the potential VP, and of course he's our point extra governor here in Pennsylvania, he controls a lot.
00:16:24.000So it's important for the Trump campaign and it's important for Republicans to have a plan in place to make sure that we've got poll watchers, to make sure that we're tracking mail-in ballots, to make sure that we've got people on site to supervise these drop boxes.
00:16:38.000None of that happened in 2020, but the good news is that we're trending in the right direction.
00:16:42.000I think we're going to get there in 2024.
00:16:44.000Even with all the nonsense, we fell 80,000 ballots short in 2020.
00:16:48.000Sean, on the ground, does it feel better on the ground than it did in 16 or 20 for Donald Trump?
00:17:40.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:17:44.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:17:47.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:17:52.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:17:58.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:19:26.000They couldn't even find a single person that was tricked by this meme, because for those that don't know, the meme said, you can text your vote to Hillary.
00:20:08.000They were planning on using this statue, which they went after me with, a KKK statue, for conspiring to threaten, intimidate, injure, or oppress people in their exercise of their rights.
00:20:25.000My case was a canary in the coal mine.
00:20:27.000It used to be, well, if they don't like you, they de-platform you, they dox you, whatever they do.
00:20:32.000Now it's, all right, we're going to sort of dig through the federal code and see if we can apply one of these old statutes, dust off the books, to throw conservatives in prison.
00:21:21.000So I was accused of conspiring against rights, against the rights of American people, injuring, oppressing, intimidating, or threatening them in the exercise of their civil rights.
00:21:35.000So they said, if you share a meme that's obviously joking, and you do it with two or more people, then that's a conspiracy to injure people In the exercise of their civil rights, it's really a torturing of the statute and the letter of the law and the spirit of the lie, I would say, too, because we were supposed to have the First Amendment, but we challenged this prosecution.
00:22:09.000But in federal court, they have something called an Allen Charge, where the judge says to the jury, well, you know, we spent a lot of resources.
00:23:05.000And then they brought in all these people who I never met on the internet who maybe retweeted each other or replied or whatever, quote to each other's tweets and say, these are your co-conspirators.
00:23:16.000You guys were conspiring to injure Americans in the exercise of their vote.
00:23:20.000They dug up all of these direct messages.
00:23:23.000And what was most offensive perhaps was that they used other memes as evidence.
00:23:28.000For example, the Draft Our Daughters meme, which poked fun at the fact that Hillary Clinton wanted to force women to register for the draft.
00:23:37.000So we made a meme campaign about it, and they said, well, here's the evidence that he's part of this group.
00:23:42.000They do memes, so they must have been in cahoots to do this election meme, which was just found off 4chan, and I didn't even create it.
00:24:05.000She said, hey Trump supporters, skip the lines on election 2016, text in your vote, text votes are legit, or vote tomorrow on Super Wednesday.
00:24:16.000Now mind you, you did not say any of those things.
00:24:20.000She was being very, like, has she been arrested or investigated by the Department of Justice?
00:24:25.000Well, there's no word from the DOJ whether they subpoenaed all of her cell phone records, all of her bank accounts, all of her credit card accounts, all of her paychecks, going back years, whether they interviewed her roommate, her old roommate, and the list goes on and on.
00:24:50.000You think you have a Fourth Amendment right to privacy in this country?
00:24:53.000Something tells me, Charlie, that they didn't do that to Christina Wong.
00:24:56.000I'm not sure what tells me that, but I just have an inkling.
00:24:59.000So what is the path forward for you now that you have been sentenced to seven months in federal prison for making a meme?
00:25:06.000I hope the audience understands this, that under Kamala Harris, because she's really calling the shots right now, especially with the Department of Justice, they want to make it illegal to make jokes, illegal to be able to speak your mind.
00:25:20.000So you face a seven months federal prison sentence.
00:25:35.000Everybody go and donate and we can win this appeal.
00:25:38.000And it's not just about me and keeping me out of federal prison.
00:25:40.000This actually has Implications for everybody, because we're challenging the application of the statute saying that you can't apply this statute to what they call disinformation, to what a normal person would say is satire or parody, obviously, but they call it disinformation.
00:26:00.000We're saying that they cannot apply this KKK statute to simple memes that are published on the internet, especially parody.
00:26:07.000Not only that, but you have to have a reasonable expectation That you're breaking the law when you do something like this in order to actually be prosecuted for it.
00:26:16.000So who could think that they're going to apply this law to somebody sharing a meme online?
00:26:21.000And so this is why it's very important to help me fund this appeal.
00:26:26.000And the third appeal that we have is based on Venue.
00:26:29.000They brought this case in the Eastern District of New York.
00:26:33.000There's no connection to the Eastern District of New York, except for they say, well, he sent the tweet out, and the tweet went over the wire, over the bridge, over the water surrounding the Eastern District of New York.
00:26:45.000It's completely farcical and absurd, and venue is in the Constitution because The British used to take Americans and ship them over to London and put them in a star chamber on trial way away from their home for sedition or conspiracy or whatever it was.
00:27:04.000So this is very important that we can't have a precedent that says, The Eastern District of New York can drag you into its courtroom, even if you live in Wyoming, California, wherever, just because a tweet went over a wire.
00:28:25.000And I'm also fortunate for all my family that's standing behind me, all my friends, and absolutely, yes, all the people praying for me and benefactors that are donating to this case.
00:30:03.000They're finally bringing you the most requested offer ever.
00:30:06.000Right now, you can get the Queen Size Premium MyPillow for only $19.98.
00:30:11.000MyPillow is made with patented adjustable fill.

00:30:18.000It helps keep your neck aligned and holds its shape all night long, so you get the best sleep of your life.
00:30:24.000But that's not all, get their 6 piece kitchen and bath towel set for only $25, the brand new mattress topper for as low as $69.98, and their famous MyPillow bed sheets for as low as $25 and so, so much more.

00:31:59.000And now they have a lot of dry powder, which means that even with Kamala Harris's war chest, Donald Trump will have parity, if not superiority, on air.
00:32:10.000Now, I know a lot of you say, oh, TV ads don't work.
00:32:19.000I think ballot chasing, what we're doing, is a very important component of finding new voters and registering voters and chasing those ballots and getting them out to vote.
00:32:28.000But you need to have a presence on television.
00:32:31.000And in 2020, Donald Trump Ran out of money in mid-October.
00:35:09.000Say, well, you know, Kamala Harris will be the most anti-Christian president in history, and she already is the most anti-Christian vice president.
00:35:15.000She turned Easter into transgender day awareness.
00:35:22.000She will use the Department of Justice and IRS to go after pregnancy crisis centers, churches, and Christian nonprofits and 501c3s.
00:35:28.000Joe Biden has opened up the borders, which is the largest slavery operation in American history.
00:35:33.000Kamala Harris will nationalize late-term abortion.
