Trump was 2 millimeters away from being killed. The assassination of a former president and soon to be next president of the United States was just a few inches away from taking place. This is what the left has been trying to do to Donald Trump for years. They tried to jail him, and now they have tried to kill him. The last attempted assassination was Ronald Reagan, and here we are in a similar situation. Today's special guest is Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a youth organization fighting for freedom and freedom on campuses across the U.S. President Donald Trump was in Butler, PA when a bullet grazed his ear and hit him in the side of his face. He was defiant. He stood his ground and refused to be intimidated or intimidated by the left. This was an assassination, and the left knew they were going to try to kill Donald Trump. They knew they would try to do something like this to take him down, and they're just as bad as they've been saying they would be. This episode is a wake-up call that we need to wake up and wake up to the reality that Donald Trump is still alive and is going to be president!

00:01:37.000Donald Trump was going through charts and graphs and saying this chart right here, and he had his ear just a certain way, and then you could hear the gunshots.
00:03:08.000They would say, he's egging on random acts of violence.
00:03:11.000And then what did we hear for the past Really 9, 10 years at this point we've been hearing Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, Donald Trump is Hitler, Donald Trump is a would-be dictator, Donald Trump is the worst human being to ever live and will destroy everything if he's allowed to become president.
00:03:26.000They know it's a lie because he's been president before and that didn't happen but they kept telling the lie Over and over and over and over again, and when you do that, you are egging on mentally unstable and extreme and wild people to do things like this.
00:03:42.000They, to quote Marco Rubio, they knew what they were doing.
00:05:12.000It's one of the most unbelievable things we've ever seen and then the imagery of it, the first image of Trump being hit but then the immediate image after that of him actually standing back up and putting a fist to the crowd and the presence to do that under a situation of such enormous stress where you literally nearly died.
00:05:34.000He was hit and he did that within a minute!
00:05:38.000I've never seen anything like it and nothing like it in the world.
00:05:41.000No, by the way, we now need to have every, I mean, first of all, keep the president in your prayers.
00:05:46.000The president immediately defiantly goes out and shows that he is okay and that he is fine.
00:05:53.000Reports are showing that there are multiple Multiple shooters.
00:05:58.000And remember, we were publishing articles one after the other, and many of you guys remember this, and in the audience, where we were saying that they are going to try and kill Trump.
00:06:33.000We, by the way, we have firsthand accounts.
00:06:35.000I have a firsthand, Sean Parnell says that there were at least multiple shooters.
00:06:39.000By the way, he would know he's a former military guy and Democrat donors.
00:06:44.000As soon as yesterday, we're making jokes.
00:06:47.000About assassinating Donald Trump, about killing Donald Trump, and praise God Almighty.
00:06:53.000Can we all just say a prayer to the Lord Almighty that that bullet was not two millimeters closer?
00:07:01.000And I'm going to say this right here, and I know that I might get in trouble for this, but the Secret Service heads need to metaphorically roll for this.
00:07:09.000The Secret Service, they have a major budget.
00:07:12.000How they allowed this to happen is an embarrassment to the U.S.
00:07:18.000And they need to be hauled in front of Congress immediately for allowing a former president, opposition leader, to have a bullet grazed against him.
00:10:06.000And I said this, we need to know the exact Secret Service officials who allowed this to happen.
00:10:12.000The Secret Service that didn't do their job.
00:10:15.000I mean, they have one of the largest budgets that you could imagine and praise God that Donald Trump is alive and well, that Donald Trump is still breathing right now, that that bullet could have went.
00:10:28.000Can we show it again, Ryan, without getting in trouble or is that it's too graphic?
00:10:32.000I don't want to have the feed suddenly taken down.
00:10:37.000I'm going to say this once, I'm going to say it twice and say it three times.
00:10:40.000I need you guys to stay calm right now.
00:10:43.000I know that's not the tone that you want, but don't do anything stupid right now.
00:10:48.000Because they tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
00:10:51.000Whoever it was, whoever the person was that did this or their motive, we know the real motive here.
00:13:42.000I will caution, there's always reports of multiple shooters for every abrupt shooting like this.
00:13:48.000All predictions wrong or your money back, but we have seen reports of this from on the scene that there's suspected multiple shooters and that I think only one of them had been neutralized, so that's one of the things that makes me wonder if it was only one.
00:14:00.000The other thing I'm seeing is everyone is now passing around CNN's headline on this, you know, Trump injured in an incident at Pennsylvania Rally.
00:17:30.000As they try- they're gonna try to call this a false flag.
00:17:32.000They're already saying this on Twitter.
00:17:33.000Where Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet at a rally in Pennsylvania.
00:17:38.000Well, Charlie, it's very clear what happened here, and look, I was just at the pool with my kids, got the phone call, drove straight down to the studio.
00:17:48.000Look at the trajectory of this bullet.
00:17:52.000It's very clear God saved the life of Donald Trump today.
00:17:57.000If that bullet had been a couple of millimeters, a couple of inches to the right, you're talking brain pan, you're talking cerebral cortex, you're talking all the central that keep us going.
00:18:14.000Someone had, actually the first call that I got on this was someone saying that they thought
00:18:18.000from the initial video that it looked like Trump was clutching his neck.
00:18:21.000Turns out he's actually clutching his ear, but a couple of inches lower,
00:23:19.000I'm sending that in the chat right now.
00:23:22.000There's a lot of these videos that are thrown out, thrown around.
00:23:26.000That I'm trying to figure out exactly what this was.
00:23:30.000Like I said, I've got a lot of friends that are at that rally that are sending me videos in now, so I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is that we're seeing.
00:23:38.000But yeah, there's some very strange videos that are coming out.
00:23:42.000That's all I'm going to say at this point.
00:23:44.000But look, this right here, I mean, you will always remember this moment in time.
00:23:48.000With the far left, with the left and the Democrats have done to this country, there is only one option here.
00:23:54.000And Donald Trump wanted to keep the rally going.
00:24:40.000I know exactly what you're talking about.
00:24:41.000You can have protective barriers, you can have the glass, of course, anyone who wants to watch the January 6th videos, you can see that that glass is up in front of President Trump at the Ellipse there when he was speaking.
00:24:52.000Of course, by the way, if you're speaking at a rally, and I've been at numerous rallies like this, what you can do if, for example, this is Western Pennsylvania, so this is fracking country.
00:25:01.000I remember when he spoke there in 2020, they actually used rigs, they used fracking drills,
00:25:07.000they used wells to be able to pre-position and place.
00:25:11.000So for example, when you see those flags that are flying from cranes and things like that,
00:25:15.000that are at these outside rallies, those are actually there not just for decorative purposes,
00:26:06.000So not directly behind or directly in front, but off to the right, in which case that would mean
00:26:10.000the shooter could potentially be from that distance using again, just going off the sound,
00:26:16.000it could have been like a 308 round, maybe a 556 round.
00:26:19.000I saw some people saying .22, also possible.
00:26:22.000But, you know, I just I don't know that somebody would attempt something like that with a .22.
00:26:26.000But again, of course, we're going to find out sooner or later.
00:26:28.000But I'm going to say it's probably sounds a lot more it sounds a lot more like a rifle because you hear that crack sound as opposed to the pop of a of a pistol or handgun.
00:26:37.000So guys, this is a developing situation.
00:26:40.000There's also another person killed in the audience.
00:26:42.000Whether that person was a shooter or not, we do not know.
00:26:46.000But we have our prayers for people in the audience that were also shot.
00:26:49.000The media cannot, Jack, or Blake, can you comment on this?
00:26:52.000The media can't bring themselves, because the media knows that they report on this, and we're going to force them.
00:28:22.000They never take that with a grain of salt, but there's always going to be a lot of, a lot of these reports.
00:28:27.000And, you know, I saw someone will say they saw somebody with a long rifle, but of course that could be another secret service agent.
00:28:32.000That could be another person that was there for one of these counter sniper teams.
00:28:36.000And particularly in events like this, of course, you've also got local police that are involved, other agencies, DHS may have been down, Secret Service has, Secret Service has the CAT team.
00:28:45.000So you've got a FBI could have been there supplementing.
00:28:47.000So you never know exactly which agencies will be there or what particular uniform or, or clothing they're wearing.
00:28:55.000That being said, that could also be something that the shooter would potentially be using to their advantage, try to potentially conceal themselves as one of these counter sniper teams that's always at one
00:31:09.000As you listen to that audio very carefully, what you'll hear is what appears to be Secret Service agents after a second volley of sounds that go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
00:32:14.000We've had him on the phone with Brett, so he's just having some technical difficulties with getting on the internet.
00:32:21.000So we're going to try to get him on the phone.
00:32:23.000Well, well, by the way, guys, innocent Charlie, just by the way, to put that out in a situation like that, one of the first things that Secret Service might do, because again, you have no idea if you're and you hope that you're dealing with a lone shooter, but you have no idea if you're dealing with a lone shooter, or you're dealing with something that is more potentially developed than that.
00:32:42.000So if you're dealing with a cell, if you're dealing with a situation where you could have a sit, you could have IDs, you could have remote controlled IDs, you could have anything that's set up for that rally.
00:32:52.000So one of the first things they'll do in a situation like that,
00:32:54.000if there is a potential bomb threat, they will put up cell phone jammers
00:32:58.000and they will shut down all remote control signals.
00:33:01.000So they will not have, this is standard operating procedure.
00:33:04.000I'm not saying that's what's going on.
00:33:05.000I'm just saying standard operating procedure is you would set that up to shut down any potential IEDs
00:33:10.000controlled by remote, so that if anything was going to go off,
00:33:14.000or there was, you know, if you were targeting, say the medical motorcade,
00:33:18.000or targeting the motorcade itself, targeting Trump fans, targeting anyone else who's coming in.
00:33:23.000Again, we don't know exactly what it is we're dealing with.
00:33:26.000We don't know if there's other people involved at this point.
00:33:34.000But we certainly hope that whatever the threat is, it has already been contained.
00:33:38.000But you have to understand that just because even even Even if one person is in custody, and I don't even know if that's clear yet, that they're talking about a shooter down, but we're not entirely sure if that's true or not, and I'm waiting to hear official approval or official announcement on that, that we don't know if the threat is still ongoing.
00:33:56.000So to anyone who's got friends who are there, just keep in mind, if you do get a signal out to them, make sure that they know to keep their eyes open and to maintain a sense of high guard because you don't know what could be around you.
00:34:08.000Secondly, I mean, look, there are a lot of people right now that are upset that the bullet didn't hit Trump.
00:36:02.000He's Army, yeah, Sean Parnell's Army and he's someone who's been, he was in Afghanistan and he's someone who has been in numerous firefights.
00:36:11.000You know, obviously, that being said, you know, based on your initial Your initial sense of things you never really know for sure what's going on but obviously this is someone who would be uh honestly Sean Parnell is the kind of person that I would want to have with me if I were in a situation like this because he's been down that road more times than he can count.
00:38:30.000And the initial question becomes, what do you do?
00:38:34.000What do you actually do in a situation like that when someone who's not just your candidate, but the center of the entire movement is just gone?
00:38:42.000And guess what, folks? That's exactly what they wanted.
00:38:46.000That's what this person was clearly attempting to do.
00:38:49.000This was, this would have been a disaster for our country.
00:38:53.000It would have been a disaster for our world.
00:38:54.000This would have been something that obviously would have thrown the entire country into mass chaos.
00:39:55.000The intentionality of this, potentially, you know, with the chaos just right before the RNC events and everything else, it's going to be really interesting to see as we learn more about who the shooter is.
00:40:09.000You know, clearly, if it's true, some of the reporting has been there's been some Antifa elements that are involved here.
00:40:17.000I don't know if that's true or not, but clearly these are sick people with chaos.
00:41:34.000There's growing concern in law enforcement that this may have been a serious attempt on the life of former President Trump, two senior U.S.
00:42:54.000I thought, okay, Twitter, people are insane on Twitter, but a friend of mine just messaged me.
00:42:58.000Two different liberals in my office, this is a lawyer, ventured it might be staged, and I just openly bullied and mocked them until one of them left.
00:43:31.000The biggest regret in the country right now are Democrats that wish the bullet would have went two millimeters closer to Donald Trump's brain.
00:44:19.000And then all of a sudden, you know, we were near the SWAT van.
00:44:23.000So Noah, first of all, based on what you heard and what you've heard since, do you think there was one shooter or multiple shooters?
00:44:41.000Noah, what are you hearing on the ground?
00:44:43.000So what I am hearing on the ground is one shooter was taken out, but they said there's possibly one more shooter.
00:44:51.000They keep From what I can tell, the cell tower is down right now.
00:44:57.000So, and Secret Service is still on the scene investigating.
00:45:02.000So, Noah, the reaction from the audience as you heard it, and you were right there as it occurred, and the shots started to ring out.
00:45:11.000Was your initial reaction like, no way, this was guns, this was fireworks?
00:45:15.000And then walk us through those couple seconds of what you were feeling and what you were sensing as things went from confusion to very heaviness.
00:45:25.000So, you know, when it started happening, I was like, oh, it's just fireworks.
00:48:15.000So we have to start asking the possibility then, and based on what we're hearing come in, and you know, my initial thoughts were that this was someone from outside the perimeter, but if this was someone who was inside the security perimeter, that means a firearm was allowed to get into Trump's rally.
00:50:15.000It's it's very hard to say anything definite at this point regarding the shooter, multiple shooters, single shooter, any at this point, any ID of the shooter, I think would be premature, honestly.
00:50:32.000And, and understand that when we're looking at these videos, I mean, we're playing the B roll now that's It looks as though Trump is actually trying to break through the secret.
00:50:42.000He's actually trying to fight off his Secret Service there.
00:51:30.000You're probably looking... I would really like to know, by the way, whether or not President Trump was wearing a bulletproof vest right here.
00:52:31.000Jack, what's going on in that picture?
00:52:32.000What does that picture tell you, Jack?
00:52:34.000What is your first reaction just looking at that?
00:52:38.000So so yeah it looks like he hit his ear and then those grazes you're seeing are from probably his fingers from touching the ear and then grazing it across his face so I don't think those are those are wounds across his his cheek and his lower lip there I think what you're seeing and you might actually see a little divot that's taken out of the top part of his ear now that being said too small to be a 308 round so potentially you're looking at either 556 or 223 just based on that again, you know, we're not entirely sure here,
00:53:09.000but either way would still be a rifle round.
00:53:11.000And guessing would, you know, guessing five, five, six, just based on range, again, we don't know for sure
00:53:18.000the idea that someone would be able to get in.
00:53:21.000And remember, so if someone is inside, so Charlie, you and I have been to rallies,
00:53:25.000you know, a million times that someone, so again, go back to the trajectory of where,
00:53:32.000so Trump is looking to the right side of the stage at this point.
00:53:35.000So if he's looking to the right side of the stage and the bullet's coming from the front, so towards his face, that means the shooter was to that side.
00:53:43.000If the other, if it's coming from behind, it looks like it was coming from, it could potentially have been coming from the back.
00:53:48.000Since they did say that somebody was shot behind him based on trajectory, that would lead me to believe that it's staged left.
00:53:55.000But Charlie, you and I usually know that there aren't There aren't generally grandstands on there, so I would really like to see at this point where my head is, I would like to see the overall image laydowns as much as possible, if there's ever any aerial shots, if there's any helicopters that were flying over, to give us any kind of footage that, you know, even in the near term, not, you know, during when the shots were fired, but give us some kind of aerial overlay of what exactly the picture was, the security posture was going in, and then also where any potential shooter could have been if someone was inside.
00:54:28.000This is, I mean, this is the biggest security lapse we've seen since JFK.
00:54:54.000You can see behind us at the Brinkley's Farm and Greenhouse here.
00:54:57.000We had a party and we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're going to walk up through the field, stand by the trees out there under the shade and watch and listen to the rally, right?
00:55:09.000We couldn't see him, but we could hear him.
00:55:13.000So we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking, I'm estimating here, I have no idea, you know, But um, we noticed a guy crawling, you know, bear crawling up the roof.
00:55:29.000of the building beside us 50 50 feet away from us so we're standing there you know we're pointing we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof and he had a gun right he had a rifle he could clearly see him with a rifle absolutely um we're pointing at him the police are down there running around on the ground we're like hey man there's a guy on the roof with a rifle and the police were like huh what What?
00:55:52.000Like they didn't know what was going on.
00:55:55.000You know, we're like, hey, right here on the roof.
00:58:06.000All I'll tell you is, you know, if I walked up close to there with anything that Secret Service considered a problem, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now.
00:58:19.000But I don't know why a guy, who we're standing there pointing out to police and Secret Service, is crawling up the roof.
00:59:39.000What that video was showing is that there might be people in the Secret Service or police Obama has released out.
00:59:44.000not have done their greatest job imaginable because maybe they were just
00:59:48.000lazy or they didn't like Trump and they just turn a blind eye that guy in that
00:59:52.000video Blake I want to go to you first and I people say it's incompetence maybe
00:59:56.000was incompetence maybe it's just like I don't like Trump that much we don't have
00:59:58.000to go check it out he warned that a shooter was about to shoot for three or
01:00:02.000four minutes straight they got lulled into being relaxed we've been warning
01:00:07.000about the Secret Service and they're in competency for quite some time and Blake
01:00:11.000Obama that video what is your reaction that my thought I would say I would say
01:00:17.000like you said first of all I I'm never a fan of any of the any conspiracy theories
01:00:22.000Now, obviously an attempted assassination of Trump is going to invite that.
01:00:29.000But remember, think of what the factors are.
01:00:30.000This is outside the rally, so this is probably where it's less the Secret Service themselves and more Accessory police who are maybe not as on the ball, not as professional, and who knows?
01:00:42.000He says he was warning for several minutes.
01:00:44.000Maybe it's possible that it's a highly intense, memorable moment.
01:00:48.000Maybe he lengthened it in his mind, and maybe this is really 45 seconds, a minute.
01:00:54.000An amount of time where it's more reasonable that they would be slow to respond.
01:00:58.000I don't want to say reasonable, but more...
01:01:00.000It's possible that they would be slow to respond, and from there you get all of those things.
01:01:05.000It's also possible that they saw him and were reacting to him, and they just didn't do it on time.
01:01:09.000Because the guy, as he said, they blew his head off right away.
01:01:13.000In fact, you probably can hear the shots that are hitting the shooter on the clip that we all heard.
01:01:17.000That's probably the second burst of gunfire that we hear is the shooter getting taken out.
01:01:22.000I imagine we'll get plenty of investigation into this.
01:01:26.000Anytime a bullet grazes a presidential candidate... Or not!
01:03:05.000Just you don't have to show the video just show.
01:03:08.000Yeah, just show it just show it because I want to point out not something that he's saying but if you look at the buildings behind him, those red buildings, those reddish buildings.
01:06:39.000Just moments after someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump and kill him, a CNN analyst says, Donald Trump and the people around him perceive themselves to be under threat and that is not legitimate.
01:08:20.000The calmness of the crowd and around the crowd I mean, there's real scenarios where people die on the way out of those big crowds.
01:08:30.000I mean, we're talking thousands and thousands of people that get trampled I mean, it really speaks to, I would just say this, it speaks to the crowd that is attracted by a Trump rally.
01:08:41.000And, you know, I don't want to get ahead without knowing everything that's going on at the space, but, you know, we haven't heard any reports of anyone getting trampled, everyone being really friendly and kind with one another, obviously with care.
01:09:29.000And again, I'm not giving full credence, you know, all the caveats, grain of salt, fog of war, but there's this one scenario that's emerging that's talking about A shooter who was outside the rally, but then there does seem to be a lot of reporting about someone potentially who was inside the rally.
01:09:45.000There's a lot of images that are being shared from inside the rally, though I would exercise caution that it's possible that people are seeing videos of someone who's bloody and thinking that it might be the shooter when in fact it is one of the victims.
01:09:58.000So again, it's, you know, it seems like there's two scenarios emerging here and I just think that everybody needs to be really calm at this point.
01:10:06.000As everyone's been saying, and I did just get a text by the way from a Someone in my previous profession who says that at Mar-a-Lago they're beefing up security, that they're putting up stuff at Trump Tower as well.
01:10:21.000I'm sure, by the way, at a lot of places around the country where there are Secret Service detailees or members of the Trump family who are under Secret Service protection, if they were not at the rally itself, they are also probably being, or were at some point today, brought into protective custody or brought into at least a safer location than wherever they were.
01:10:40.000We don't know, I'd like to find out who exactly members of the family wise
01:10:44.000who were there at the rally and then who wasn't.
01:10:46.000Keep in mind that this was a, that we were told that there was a possibility,
01:10:51.000an outside chance that, you know, that the VP pick may have also been appearing at this rally.
01:10:57.000There was a huge speculation that he was going to be making the VP pick today, so it's possible that the shooter or shooters were targeting because they were looking to take out both Trump and his potential VP pick.
01:11:08.000Though, of course, earlier today I think it was reported that none of the people on the shortlist were going to be attending the rally in Pennsylvania.
01:11:14.000Of course, we don't have any information as to whether or not this was a local shooter.
01:11:17.000We don't know if this was someone who used it as a target of opportunity.
01:11:20.000We don't know if this is someone who went up for this or someone who traveled into the area.
01:11:24.000Again, all of those things are going to come out as it goes in.
01:11:28.000I thank God, by the way, right now that it's been, how long has it been?
01:11:30.000It's been almost 90 minutes or so or two hours, I think, since the actual shots were fired.
01:11:35.000So I'd like to pin down the timeline of that and I'd really like to pin down, if we can get the time What you guys are seeing in here, and you can email us directly freedom at charliekirk.com, this is unlike anything we've ever seen.
01:11:47.000Joe Biden is going to address the country tonight.
01:11:49.000That'll give us a better sight picture into what exactly went down here.
01:11:52.000What you guys are seeing in here, and you can email us directly
01:16:40.000We know how many Secret Service agents are put out.
01:16:43.000The idea is, and Charlie, you've, and I can attest that Charlie has been banging the drum about this behind the scenes far more than you have in that interview.
01:16:54.000And I actually hadn't seen that interview, but I kind of remember when it was going around that you were getting hit for, you know, I saw these headlines attacking you about it.
01:17:01.000And this has been something that Charlie Kirk has has been talking about for a long time behind the scenes,
01:17:05.000folks, that they are not taking their job seriously. Let's go back to the elementary facts. Donald
01:17:11.000Trump was giving a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania. As he was giving a speech, a gunman, who by
01:17:16.000the way, the police and the Secret Service were given three to four minutes heads up
01:17:21.000based on first line reports, three to four minute heads up. And they say, hey, there's a gunman,
01:17:29.000The gunman goes bang, bang, bang, bang. And Donald Trump is grazed. Now, grazed by a bullet
01:17:34.000or grazed by broken glass, we don't know. But it looks as if it very well could have been a bullet.
01:17:39.000And right as you hear the gunshot, he goes boom, straight to his ear.
01:17:42.000Donald Trump is then brought to the ground by Secret Service and he is brought off the stage and defiantly is pumping his fist and pumping his fist and pumping his fist, not wanting to go, not wanting to leave.
01:17:57.000Donald Trump continues to fight and he's going to a local hospital just to get checked out for what apparently happened that glazed the side of his face.
01:19:43.000You know, Charlie, of course, a lot of people are talking about the potential that that this thing could have got around the idea that, you know, the idea that this could have been someone, of course, we're seeing images again, from the top of that roof of that building that are floating around, looks like Secret Service members and local police responding.
01:21:50.000I know we're trying to get the stream here.
01:21:52.000A source familiar with Trump's security detail tells the Federalist that the former and future president's detail has been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but he's been rebuffed time and time again by Biden's Department of Homeland Security.
01:22:04.000DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective detail, wasn't responsive to those requests for more resources, the source says.
01:22:50.000Hopefully, you know, hopefully the president of Ukraine, President Putin, is still going to be okay this time.
01:22:57.000I'm getting some word that there actually were a lot of warnings coming from the advance team.
01:23:03.000going into this. And supposedly that, so Charlie, what you're talking about there, this request
01:23:08.000for additional resources may have even come in as early or as late as this weekend, that
01:23:13.000they were asking for increased additional resources for himself. But of course, that,
01:23:18.000but that we're, they were getting pushback from PPD and holding off on additional resources
01:23:25.000because Trump is no, is not officially the nominee yet.
01:23:29.000And so there's a report now that I'm getting that Secret Service was not treating that Biden's Homeland Security Department, so Secret Service is under the Department of Homeland Security, that they were not giving him the full presidential detail because he's not officially the nominee yet.
01:23:43.000Even though we all know he will be in like three days.
01:24:16.000The Biden campaign right now, breaking news, is pausing all outbound communications and working to pull down television ads as quickly as possible.
01:24:25.000Why do they want to pull down television ads?
01:24:54.000Benny Thompson introduced legislation, what, a couple of months ago to strip Secret Service protection for convicted felons.
01:25:03.000Benny Thompson, the leader of The Jan 6th Committee introduced legislation to try to strip President Trump of his Secret Service protection just three months ago.
01:25:14.000They've been pushing for this for a long time.
01:25:17.000This week after the convention, Speaker Johnson needs to bring everyone back into the House of Representatives immediately, and needs to bring forward the entire U.S.
01:25:27.000Secret Service, including the people... Do we have the truncated... Let's play the BBC clip again.
01:25:44.000And we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're going to walk up through the field, stand by the trees out there under the shade and listen to the rally, right?
01:25:54.000We couldn't see him, but we could hear him.
01:25:57.000So we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking, I'm estimating here, I have no idea, you know, but we noticed the guy crawling, you know, bear crawling up the roof.
01:26:13.000Of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us.
01:26:18.000So we're standing there and we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof.
01:26:45.000And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking?
01:26:50.000Why have they not pulled him off the stage?
01:26:52.000I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two or three minutes.
01:26:56.000Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn.
01:26:59.000I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this.
01:27:03.000And next thing you know, five shots ring out.
01:27:07.000Is it, I'm gonna say this by the way, I will say this just as a caveat, is it possible that the guy, the person that the guy saw was a Secret Service agent?
01:27:18.000Because he could be talking, he could be referring to someone... Well he says... No, no, no, no, go ahead.
01:27:24.000He said later on that the guy got his head blown off, the guy that they were pointing towards.
01:27:28.000The other point where he did get his head blown off.
01:27:30.000So he wasn't talking about a potential... Sorry, my audio is not great here.
01:27:34.000So, he was saying that he saw someone climbing up, bear crawling, and then that guy also was shot later.
01:27:42.000And then again, this is the same... I'm just playing devil's advocate to make sure that we've got all this down, because there are a number of people also talking about, you know, other things.
01:27:53.000This is... Tyler, what are you seeing?
01:27:59.000I've seen a lot of people within our activist ranks very concerned about where to go next.
01:28:08.000Our team actually here in Wisconsin, because we're preparing for the RNC convention this next week, we are doing ballot chasing training last week and this week, are feverishly planning a prayer vigil for tomorrow, which is the proper response is we're going to get everybody together.
01:28:26.000Talk about near the RNC convention, pray for America, pray for the president and carve a pathway forward because this is maybe the Republican Party's greatest opportunity to shine in a hundred years, which is look at what the left has become.
01:28:45.000And this is the plan of action moving forward to move the country forward and get us back on track.
01:28:51.000And I hope that that's the positivity that can come from this, and hopefully we can contribute to that.
01:28:57.000Man, we need to now grow the Republican Party.
01:31:01.000And so I want to thank the Secret Service and all the agency including the state agencies that have been engaged in making sure that people and we have more detail to come relative to other injured other people may be injured in the audience.
01:31:18.000I may be able to come back a little later tonight, but we'll put out a statement if we don't if I'm not able to give it for if it's not convenient for you all.
01:31:26.000But the bottom line is The Trump rally was a rally that he should have been able to be conducted peacefully without any problem.
01:31:34.000But the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of.
01:34:56.000You can understand a little bit why the left would come up with these insane false flag theories, because Trump is so world-class, practically unprecedented in his sense of presence, his ability to, like, master a moment, that of course, yeah, someone trying to literally murder him and he just gets four or five Pulitzer Prize-worthy photos out of it.
01:35:22.000And so they think, oh it must have all been planned so he could do this.
01:37:52.000You need to immediately have a Warren Commission, Church and Pike-style committee immediately and bring all the Secret Service in front of Congress that were responsible and that were there.
01:38:25.000I have been saying for some time that any former president or federal official who has this type of protection and some of the other benefits of being a member, a former member of office, all of that should go away.
01:40:36.000He also came, he just came back recently.
01:40:39.000Prime Minister Abe, former Prime Minister Abe of Japan, someone who was assassinated, someone who was very close with President Trump when they were both in office together, was assassinated.
01:40:48.000So when you're a world leader, or you're at that level, this is something you're faced with every single single day, every single breath you take could potentially
01:41:16.000So, one of the reports, we had a Newsweek person suggest that maybe Trump was actually hit by a shard of glass, in which case he would be correct, Charlie, that he would be getting glazed in that sentence, because that refers to glass.
01:41:30.000I think what we're really seeing is the realization of just how perfidious the media is.
01:41:38.000I'm looking at a thread right now by a guy, a coddled affluent professional on Twitter, and it's just all the headlines where they spent years talking about how Donald Trump was a stochastic terrorist because he would give speeches that made liberals mad.
01:41:53.000So, for example, we have from Mother Jones, Donald Trump, stochastic terrorist.
01:41:58.000He demonizes his foes and that makes them possible targets of violence.
01:42:03.000And then we have Vox, an atmosphere of violence, stochastic terror in American politics.
01:42:09.000Uh, and they go on like this, uh, Stochastic Terrorism, Links Between the GOP, Right-Wing Influencers, and Neo-Nazi Violence.
01:42:19.000Uh, and they put Michael Knowles on the cover and libs of TikTok, because they're getting people killed, I guess.
01:42:26.000Donald Trump, Carrie Lake, and others have invented a whole new kind of terrorism.
01:43:17.000They say all of these outrageous things, and then, lo and behold, some wackadoodle takes it seriously.
01:43:23.000When you say, he's Hitler, they actually believe it.
01:43:26.000And just the other day, Ezra Klein was tweeting that he was interviewing Democrat lawmakers about, you know, the push to get Biden out.
01:43:35.000And one of these Democrat lawmakers tells Ezra Klein behind the scenes, Yeah, you know, like, we all say, you know, Donald Trump's this threat to democracy thing, but I don't actually believe that.
01:43:47.000So, you know, I'm okay with letting Trump win the election if necessary.
01:43:51.000And so there were people who were saying Donald Trump dictator, Donald Trump Hitler, Donald Trump end of democracy, Donald Trump end of America.
01:44:00.000They were saying this over and over and over again for purely political reasons.
01:44:04.000They were recklessly They were doing exactly what they accuse us of doing.
01:45:05.000This is the Donald Trump assassination attempt.
01:45:07.000He's willing to take a bullet for you.
01:45:10.000And the bullet came two millimeters away from ending Donald Trump's life and with it our movement and the country would have been in a complete And then the worst president in the history of our country took over.
01:45:33.000And look what happened to our country!
01:46:48.000Since Ronald Reagan was shot exiting, I think it was an event, some sort of event, out the front door, we have not seen anything like this.
01:47:46.000That's One of the reasons that we have trouble with, um, with the magnetometers, et cetera, beforehand anyway.
01:47:52.000So, you know, initially I kept saying that this outdoor rally, that your, your most likely scenario would also, by the way, it was an outdoor rally.
01:47:59.000Why wouldn't you try if you were attempting an assassination?
01:48:02.000Why wouldn't you try for a sniper shot rather than getting a handgun in that would just be dumb.
01:48:07.000And so the idea that, um, that you're hearing that those sounds that, that is a distinctive rifle crack.
01:48:12.000The other thing that I want to point out though, is that there were a couple of years ago, Where myself and actually Laura Loomer, we attended a play in Central Park of New York City.
01:48:24.000It was a performance of Julius Caesar, but it was a specific performance of Julius Caesar where it was being depicted as President Trump, his wife Melania was very obviously depicted as the wife, and they were ritualistically stabbing him to death on stage Every single night there in Central Park.
01:48:46.000Well, we decided to disrupt the entire thing and said that you were normalizing political violence.
01:48:53.000And I remember Charlie sitting in that audience, you know, so they, they, the way the play works is that they stab him right at the end of Act One, so basically right before intermission.
01:49:04.000And I never, never did get to see the end of it because I was asked to leave.
01:49:07.000And I remember as they were stabbing Trump, this actor portraying Trump, and the blood was coming out.
01:49:13.000This was not, by the way, you know, like in the old 40s movies when they did Julius Caesar.
01:49:18.000This was like Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained level blood, Reservoir Dogs level blood coming out.
01:49:25.000The entire stage was drenched, absolutely drenched in blood.
01:49:29.000And the people around me, Charlie, were cheering.
01:49:40.000And so the main reason that we went up there in 2017 to storm that stage, to disrupt the play, the performance that was going on, was because we wanted To stop the normalization of political violence in America.
01:49:55.000And oh, by the way, that was just a few days after the Steve Scalise shooting, which again, is a shooting that the left and the media will never bring up because James T. Hodgkinson drove all the way, you know, halfway across the country with an AK-47 and shot up a congressional baseball practice because he thought that all the Republicans were Russian agents after watching too much Rachel Maddow.
01:50:17.000Again, This is done again and again and again to Republicans, and yet we will only ever hear the right being called the violent ones.
01:50:26.000They will only act as if political violence only comes from the right.
01:50:30.000By the way, we've seen the FBI cover this up time and time again when there's political violence to someone who's on the right or political violence by someone on the left.
01:50:40.000You've seen this again in a number of other of those organizations that put together stories, statistics like this, and I'm sure Blake has all that at the ready, that if we, you could probably
01:50:51.000do a whole, a whole thought crime episode on the fact that they will not report left-wing violence
01:50:55.000and work very hard to cover the statistics. Well, you know what? You're not going to be
01:50:59.000able to cover this up because everyone in the entire world has seen this video at this point. Donald
01:51:04.000Trump is already getting shoutouts at the UFC broadcast after the assassination attempt, play
01:51:10.000cut 51. Hey, I heard, I heard they just tried to whack my boy Trump. I'm glad that man's okay.
01:51:16.000Long live Trump. Let's go baby. Trump 2024. This, this is going to create the, the only way we
01:51:49.000So we're getting, we have some photos here that we actually can kind of, it just helps to visualize about how far away it was.
01:51:56.000Unfortunately there's no labeling on this one.
01:51:59.000Do we have the one that has the red writing on it, guys?
01:52:03.000Well, that's got, so if you look at the red pushpin on the roof there, you can see that's, that's the roof where people suspect the shooter to have been.
01:52:10.000The blue pushpin is approximately the site of where Trump was standing.
01:52:26.000So that would be a little bit longer than a football field with the end zones.
01:52:32.000So if you want to get that idea, imagine that's definitely within range where a person who's experienced using a gun could hit someone just using iron sights.
01:52:43.000It'd be even easier if they have some sort of scope.
01:52:45.000I'm sure we'll learn a lot more about what the shooter's kit was.
01:52:49.000It would be too far away to easily hit anyone with like a handgun, but according to the reports it was with a rifle.
01:52:55.000According to that interview, the guy was bear crawling along the roof.
01:52:57.000You can see the roof is It's quite large, pretty big.
01:53:02.000It's also by far the closest building complex to the actual site of the event, besides those kind of pavilion things right behind where Trump would be.
01:53:13.000And in spite of all that, the Secret Service and local police allowed a guy with a gun to apparently bear crawl for several minutes Up to where he was able to get a shot off on a presidential candidate.
01:53:28.000I think, at a minimum, someone's head needs to roll for this.
01:53:32.000I feel like it should be... A good principle would probably be that if you are the head of a detail and a president or a presidential candidate is injured in any way, that you probably should just sort of, in the Japanese way, fall on your sword as a matter of principle.
01:53:47.000Not literally, but that should cost you your job as a general rule.
01:54:39.000Now he's out, but he never even... He does like, um, he's a singer-songwriter.
01:54:42.000He's out now, but he was just in, you know, a loony bin before that.
01:54:45.000He wasn't in, I believe, like prison prison as a result.
01:54:50.000And Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social, I want to thank the United States Secret Service and all of law enforcement for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania.
01:55:01.000Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed and also to the family of
01:55:07.000another person that was badly injured.
01:55:08.000It is incredible that such an act can take place in our country.
01:55:12.000Nothing is known at this time about the shooter who is now dead.
01:55:15.000I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.
01:56:28.000He was also grazed in a sense because it didn't hit any major organs.
01:56:35.000And he realized himself that even though there was bleeding, because of the fact that he was not bleeding from his mouth, Teddy Roosevelt, of course, being an avid hunter, realized correctly and assessed correctly that it did not penetrate his lung because he was, again, not bleeding from the mouth.
01:57:37.000Yep, so we'll see if it's true, but it is, if you look at it, if you zoom, you can see it appears to be some sort of, you know, it's stretched out because it's moving so fast, but it's allegedly a, or reportedly, The bullet flying through the air right up... It looks like that's probably it already passing past Azir, by the looks of it.
01:58:03.000We'll find out if this is true, but one of the most crazy photos of all time, if it is real.
01:58:10.000I imagine we'll find that out soon enough.
01:58:14.000And that means that some spectators were killed in this.
01:58:20.000Imagine you go to a Trump rally and you die, and the person next to you passes away.
01:59:12.000He wanted to keep on... That one picture where he's fighting back his Secret Service agents.
01:59:19.000Oh, the FBI personnel are on the scene in Butler, Pennsylvania.
01:59:23.000Hey, here's just an interesting question for you guys.
01:59:26.000Maybe if, Jack, maybe if the FBI spent more time looking into potential shooters of Donald Trump, and less time looking into moms and dads going to school board meetings, and less time trying to infiltrate Latin Mass, and less time trying to put Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in federal prison, they could have prevented this from happening.
02:00:17.000We know that this is a candidate who, unlike any other candidate in American history, has received the historic amount of Presidential threats, credible threats to him.
02:00:29.000There are always threats going on with President Trump.
02:00:32.000There are always targeted plots against him that are being disrupted.
02:00:37.000We know that's why he carries such a heavy motorcade the way that he does.
02:00:41.000And of course, we know that Merrick Garland and his DOJ and the FBI have not been going in the way that they have now.
02:00:51.000And Secret Service has been inundated, inundated, at least his own detail, because they're not directly, they don't have enough resources and the capacity to be able to respond as much as they currently do because they haven't given him the full presidential detail yet based on this completely ridiculous notion, which Biden, by the way, Biden could have given President Trump, he could have authorized the detail months ago.
02:01:15.000We knew that Trump was already the presumptive nominee on the night of Iowa, okay?
02:01:20.000This idea, by the way, also that Biden can't just pardon Steve Bannon.
02:01:25.000Okay, so if you want to decrease the political rhetoric, you want to turn down the violence, Joe Biden, you could pardon Steve Bannon in five minutes.
02:01:33.000You could pardon Peter Navarro right now.
02:01:35.000There's so many people you could pardon.
02:01:37.000You could walk over to the DOJ and say, you know what, we're going to drop these cases against the nonviolent Gen Sixers.
02:01:43.000And the religious women who are just praying there.
02:01:45.000There's so many things that Joe Biden could do immediately to settle this down.
02:01:50.000But of course, he's not going to do any of them.
02:01:54.000President Biden, will you pardon Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and the J6ers?
02:01:58.000If you want to be a man of your word, if you don't want to be a liar, then be the first man to make the first move and sign those pardons immediately.
02:03:23.000Charlie, we've, we've hosted Trump more than any other organization I think in America, outside organization other than his own.
02:03:32.000And the protocol that Secret Service takes, we know pretty intimately at this point.
02:03:38.000And the amount of perimeter that they give, all access points, uh, you know, and by the way, I just wanted to point this out.
02:03:45.000This was, this was brought up earlier by Jack, I think.
02:03:48.000You know, this is one of the reasons why we prefer to do indoor events at Turning Point.
02:03:52.000Uh, when we host the president, we do a lot of bit, we, we pay a lot of money, uh, extra money for doing, uh, indoor, uh, venues and things like that at the, at the convention centers.
02:04:05.000But they do the perimeter and when it's outdoor, they have to go even beyond because you don't have walls, you don't have a roof, you don't have, uh, all of those things.
02:04:15.000And so, This is a total breakdown of whatever protocol is.
02:05:08.000And we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're gonna walk up through the field, stand by the trees out there under the shade, and listen to the rally, right?
02:05:18.000We couldn't see him, but we could hear him.
02:05:22.000So we walked up, and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking, I'm estimating here, I have no idea, you know, but we noticed a guy crawling, you know, bear crawling up the roof, Of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us.
02:05:42.000So we're standing there and we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof.
02:06:40.000I mean, I still just, with the perimeters that are set by Secret Service, and again, this is Secret Service's job is to make sure that the police are where they need to be.
02:06:51.000They work with the proper agencies to make sure that the venue is covered appropriately.
02:06:58.000So the police defer to Secret Service.
02:07:01.000Uh, making sure that all access points are covered.
02:07:04.000I just, as a person that runs some of these events, I mean, Charlie, you've been intimately involved with these events that we run, uh, our team, like Lauren on our team could tell you all day.
02:07:16.000It is an exhausting week long plus process of covering every single base.
02:07:23.000And so I just, in my mind, I just, it just, I cannot fathom how they could allow somebody to get in with a rifle
02:07:31.000that was within that type of shooting distance.
02:07:34.000It just doesn't make any kind of sense from a sight scouting perspective.
02:07:56.000Tyler, I mean, this is, I just gotta say it, right?
02:07:59.000You know, this, this was the closest possible building.
02:08:04.000That was the, if we can get that picture up again, showing or, you know, either of the photos that we have up showing the, the distance that we're talking about, you're talking about a spot that is the prime location for a sniper's nest.
02:08:16.000This is the closest building to where where your secret service detailee was.
02:08:21.000There's no question that you should have had eyes on that building for the entire duration of the event.
02:09:15.000I just don't, you know, and I don't know the intricacies of an outdoor event and perches like that, what they do to make sure that everything has eyes on it.
02:09:24.000My assumption would be is there, you know, between drone technology... You clear every roof?
02:09:30.000You're clearing every roof, you have eyes on every roof full-time, you have people at HQ that are watching everything.
02:11:31.000That there's no other reason that you can talk.
02:11:35.000You're never gonna convince me that that's not what happened today.
02:11:37.000You're never gonna convince me that something else happened.
02:11:39.000But more importantly, Charlie, like you said, You would have people that would be very, very, very, very angry and that anger would resort into chaos.
02:11:50.000It would become absolute chaos in this country.
02:11:52.000You'd see reprisals, you'd see responses, you would see mass chaos in this country if that bullet had only gone just a few millimeters to the right.
02:12:01.000Well, well, Jack, on that topic of the chaos, you know, I couldn't help but think about this week with the RNC convention ahead of us.
02:12:11.000You know, and, and, you know, the, the random act of violence that this, this could be with targeting is possible.
02:12:20.000We also have to take into consideration that this is a planned elevate here to cause chaos.
02:12:27.000And I just think with as close as we are to the RNC convention, that, you know, heaven forbid, this was a planned act to cause absolute utter chaotic turmoil ahead of the RNC convention, because Look, if this happened after the RNC convention, it's a little bit of a different process.
02:12:47.000But happening before the RNC convention, and let's just say the what if, right?
02:12:51.000The worst case scenario would have happened today.
02:12:53.000It would have been absolute utter chaos here at the Republican National Committee all week long.
02:13:01.000I mean, I can't even begin to tell you what type of infighting and insanity and turmoil and heartbreak and heartache That it would have caused here at this convention in Milwaukee.
02:13:16.000So, you know, who knows what the, what the intent was here, but the fact that this was attempted right before the RNC convention is certainly really suspect.
02:13:29.000This is a day that we will all remember.
02:13:57.000Donald Trump survived by two millimeters.
02:14:01.000To put that in perspective, at the estimated 150 meters of the angle adjustment, the shooter needed to move the bullet one centimeter to the right.
02:15:17.000By far the longest, really the longest period in our history, a full 40 years, without a serious, dangerous attempt on the President's life that reached the point where the President was hit, or I guess I shouldn't say, Donald Trump is not the President currently.
02:15:33.000But on a major candidate's life like this, we haven't had something like this happen with someone protected by the Secret Service.
02:15:43.000I guess you could say they could be proud of it, given the amount of attention, given the number of wackadoodles who would like to do that sort of thing.
02:15:51.000They've been pretty good, but they aren't perfect, and there are warning signs that they've been getting worse that we mentioned at the start of the stream, and we may as well mention it again.
02:16:00.000There have been allegations of the Biden administration politicizing the Secret Service a bit.
02:16:05.000They've imposed diversity quotas on the Secret Service.
02:16:50.000Really Egging on this fanatical hatred of Donald Trump, this frenzy, these frenzied takes on him, calling him a dictator, calling him Hitler, calling him the next Hitler, encouraging people to think this guy is going to do another Holocaust, and then to turn around when someone actually takes you seriously and say, there's no place for violence in American politics.
02:17:15.000It's outrageous and indefensible that they let this happen and it's unfortunate that the Secret Service almost allowed the leading presidential candidate, the person who is the odds-on favorite to be the next president of the United States, they nearly, a gust of wind made the difference in whether he died or not today.
02:19:34.000I was just going to say, I was talking to Lauren, who's busy getting ready, coming to Milwaukee for our big events here, but You know, when we've done events like we did, we've done the big Trump rally at Dream City Church, has a huge mountain behind it.
02:19:50.000The protocol that we're aware of with Secret Service is they have to station their guys in snipers, guys with guns, on the tallest point around the venue.
02:20:03.000So all the tallest points around the venue, certainly within distance of someone that could shoot, Uh, that's where they're stationed permanently.
02:20:13.000And so, you know, if you know where we've held that event internally, you know, well, because the, the mountains right there behind the church, and this is an indoor facility, by the way, they're there all day long.
02:20:23.000And they were there in 115 degree heat all day long.
02:20:26.000It's, it's still, it's still so confusing to me how one of the tallest points that's nearest to the venue didn't have anyone up there.
02:22:21.000God's Spirit may enter us like a strong gust of wind, filling the entire house of our being, where the Spirit comes as quietly or as gently as breath.
02:22:32.000We heard in Receive the Holy Spirit, John 20, 2022.
02:22:42.000And then Blake, you want to read that verse there?
02:22:45.000And then this is from the second chapter of Acts of the Apostles.
02:22:49.000This is the famous, the start of the famous Pentecost story.
02:22:51.000When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
02:22:54.000Suddenly, a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
02:23:02.000Blake, you want to continue on not just the historical significance, but I hate to even think politically here, but this is a moment that's hard to even understand.
02:23:15.000And praise God, we were millimeters away from this country going into turmoil.
02:23:19.000Yeah, I mean, there's a line you'll sometimes hear with people online, the joke they'll tell is, nothing ever happens.
02:23:27.000Because it does feel, if you read a summary of events in the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, that there was this endless array of just earth-shaking world events.
02:23:38.000And of course, we had COVID, but other than COVID, it does feel less stuff happens.
02:23:54.000It's a few millimeters over and we're here tonight and we're saying Donald Trump, the most important person in American politics for the past 10 years, is dead, struck down by an assassin's bullet, egged on by his enemies from their years of outrage.
02:25:38.000There was some reporting going out that President Trump might actually have been, I mean, I imagine a lot of this is going to change now, but there was some reporting that he might actually name the VP nominee on Monday publicly.
02:25:54.000So something where he would actually be addressing multiple, and by the way, I'll just say this, I'll say this, you know, and I'm not, You know, saying this with any one individual in mind, but President Trump, when he talked about his VP pick,
02:26:10.000He always talked about the fact that it needs to be someone, and I said this on, I was hosting War Room this morning, and he always says that it needs to be someone, not just who looks good on the ticket, but someone who could do the job if something were to happen.
02:26:24.000He always said, and Charlie, you know, you can back me up, you've reported this as well, that President Trump has always said it needs to be someone who can do the job if something should happen.
02:26:52.000Elon Musk responded to Jack Posobiec, extreme incompetence or it was deliberate.
02:26:56.000Either way, the Secret Service leadership must resign.
02:26:59.000Yeah, look, it wouldn't surprise me if the Secret Service, who hates... Yeah, no, he responded to your tweet.
02:27:03.000It wouldn't surprise me, since the Secret Service hates Donald Trump so much, they're kind of like, oh, we don't need to protect the roof, whatever.
02:27:09.000Eh, we don't need to protect the roof.
02:28:17.000So that's something that he takes a lot of seriousness about at any given time, especially if he's going to be at a rally or launching one of his products.
02:28:27.000You know, a lot of these events are huge, massive in-person events.
02:28:33.000So security is always, again, someone, every world leader, business, you know, high-level businessman
02:28:38.000like Elon and others, Peter Thiel comes to mind, Jeff Bezos, et cetera, Bill Gates, George Soros.
02:28:43.000You know, these are all people who are going to have to take security very seriously just because of the level
02:28:48.000that they're at, not, you know, politics notwithstanding is what I'm talking about.
02:28:52.000And so, you know, the question that you would have a lapse of security like this is major.
02:28:56.000You know, I'd love to see President Trump get Eric Prince hired or something to be able to run his personal security in concert with the Secret Service after this, because there's no question, there's no question, a massive, massive resignation needs to take place.
02:29:12.000We're looking at potential criminal negligence here.
02:29:16.000Criminal negligence on the level of the Secret Service and the fact that they would allow... Again, this was not some freak accident.
02:29:24.000This was the closest building to where the speaker was, and Tyler just went through it.
02:29:30.000I went through it before, and I said, it's inexplicable to me.
02:29:33.000I've been to so many events where they're supposed to be watching the buildings.
02:29:36.000There's no... I called in a Real America's Voice within minutes, I think 25 minutes after, and that's what I said.
02:29:43.000Jack, they're supposed to be on the buildings.
02:29:46.000Yeah, they're supposed to be on the top of the buildings.
02:29:48.000They're supposed to be on the buildings, not watching the buildings.
02:30:04.000And by the way, about 10 seconds before...
02:30:08.000The way what Tyler's saying is that you have counter sniper batteries.
02:30:12.000So a counter sniper battery is that when you know that you understand that there's going to be an outdoor event, obviously the rally was planned in advance.
02:30:18.000So you've got advanced teams of Secret Service that are working there.
02:30:20.000You say, okay, where would the most like, if I were going to take a shot at the, at the principal at Trump or anyone else who's speaking at this rally, if I were going to take a shot, then where would I go?
02:30:31.000Then, okay, this building would be the most obvious spot, it gives you it is the closest building, it
02:31:16.000I mean, Charlie, your point is exactly right.
02:31:19.000There should have been someone there on top of the buildings.
02:31:22.000And if, and if not in that very specific spot in the building, there should have been somebody else at a higher point, uh, that could have easily and should have easily seen that person.
02:31:45.000They've sat out there all day long at the highest point.
02:31:48.000You know, with the countermeasures that are up there, the snipers that are on top of the mountain, and just baking in the heat all day long.
02:31:57.000So, it's just begging the question, where was everybody?
