Trump survives another assassination attempt at his golf club in South Florida. President Trump was not shot at, unlike in Butler, PA, but he was very close, 300 to 500 yards away from a lunatic by the name of Ryan Routh or Ryan Wesley Routh, who is a pro-Ukrainian lunatic. The U.S. Secret Service shot and killed the lunatic, but not before he was able to get away with his gun and get into a firefight with the Secret Service. This is yet another reminder that the assassination attempts against Donald Trump are only going to get worse. The movement that is propelling Donald Trump back into the White House, that all of us are participating in, is the greatest threat to the oligarchy that is currently reigning terror over this country. They want us to forget about all of the injustices against Trump, and forget about the injustice that has been done to Donald Trump. That is why we need to fight for freedom on campuses across the country, and fight for the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and destroyed lives. That's why we should all be invigorated, because they are trying to kill Donald Trump and kill our movement, and get to work, everybody.

00:02:12.000But boy, today, for those of you that have not yet seen the news, might, no, I know you said might, Donald Trump survives another assassination attempt.
00:02:19.000Now, mind you, he was not shot at, unlike in Butler, Pennsylvania, but he was very close, 300 to 500 yards away from this complete lunatic by the name of Ryan Ruth or Ryan Routh, Not that it matters what his name is, because he's a lunatic and an evil person that had basically a sniper's nest set up at the Trump International Golf Course.
00:02:40.000In Palm Beach, he had it set up and was wanting to kill President Trump.
00:02:46.000It turns out that a witness actually was the hero who saw him fleeing away, got into his Nissan, got the license plate number, told the police officer that this guy was the one that fled the scene.
00:03:19.000This will only get better when we win.
00:03:22.000The assassination attempts against Donald Trump are only beginning.
00:03:26.000The movement that is propelling Donald Trump back into the White House, that you are behind, that all of us are participating in, is the greatest threat to the oligarchy that is currently reigning terror over this country.
00:03:39.000They wanted us to forget about Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:03:42.000They want us to forget about all the injustices against Donald Trump, the lawfare.
00:03:45.000And now today, it is yet another reminder that President Trump is not safe.
00:03:50.000That President Trump, thankfully, his life was spared by the U.S.
00:03:58.000The shooter is Ryan Wesley Ruth, or the attempted shooter, who then got in a firefight with the United States Secret Service.
00:04:07.000It is said to have been heavily involved with the Ukrainian International Legion, which has previously assisted in the recruitment for in 2022.
00:04:14.000Now, here are two pieces of items, and I want to be very clear on facts.
00:04:17.000Number one, how did this guy know that Donald Trump was going to be golfing at this moment?
00:04:23.000It must have been a very, very good guess, or somebody might have leaked the information.
00:04:27.000And number two, what, if any, connections did Ryan Wesley Ruth have with U.S.
00:04:32.000intelligence services, with the Department of Defense, with the Central Intelligence Agency, with NATO or the Pentagon, considering his entire life's work was about supporting Ukraine and trying to take out Vladimir Putin?
00:05:46.000rally global support. Please help me and he includes his phone number and email and
00:05:51.000he's like I live near Jack Johnson I am sure he will help please and he sends
00:05:55.000this to the US Embassy in Kiev he sends it to you too he sends it to Bono he's
00:06:01.000been spamming this He apparently went to Ukraine for eight months.
00:06:05.000It's not clear if he fought on the front lines or just, you know, was in Kiev trying to recruit people to come to Ukraine.
00:06:13.000But this guy clearly was deeply enmeshed in this issue.
00:06:17.000I guess it is almost certain that that was his motive for wanting to take a shot at Trump as he saw him as not sufficiently pro-Ukraine or even pro-Putin.
00:06:26.000There's another tweet that he did from 2022 where he says, This was a deeply unhinged guy, but he was a deeply unhinged guy, deeply involved with the single biggest cause that our elites in D.C.
00:06:34.000it is a pile of rubble. I am not leaving until I am standing on Moscow rubble. This was a
00:06:41.000deeply unhinged guy, but he was a deeply unhinged guy, deeply involved with the single biggest
00:06:47.000cause that our elites in DC care about and are obsessed with. I think the prospect that
00:06:53.000no one in DC ever met this guy or interacted with this guy is quite unlikely.
00:06:59.000And as we dig into this, I think it's very possible we will discover there are people who at least heard this guy spout off about going after Trump.
00:07:09.000And I think we'll be seeing people look into, you know, where did he get this gun?
00:07:12.000And as you said, how did he know to be where he was on that day to take a shot at Trump?
00:07:19.000Maybe Trump golfs at the same time each week.
00:07:21.000I don't know the details of that, but Much more so than the one in Butler, which already created a lot of theories about, you know, who might have, you know, provoked the shooter, maybe possibly known the shooter was going to do it.
00:07:34.000There's way more red flags with this one.
00:07:37.000It doesn't prove there was a conspiracy, but it's very inevitable that people are going to be asking very serious questions.
00:07:43.000We have Andrew with us as well, I want to get in on, but I just want to repeat this.
00:07:46.000Based on all information, this guy being a Ukrainian-obsessed person and having spent time in-country in Ukraine, it immediately begs the question, was this guy potentially involved in very, very deep and, let's just say, fringe Ukrainian networks, maybe with Zelensky, but probably not, and was encouraged to go take a shot at Donald Trump?
00:08:10.000That is not the craziest theory, by the way, given that Donald Trump's stated position is to stop the money flow and stop the grift through Ukraine and to try to broker peace.
00:08:19.000Again, we are not saying we have evidence of that, but we have peripheral evidence that would lead us to ask these questions.
00:08:24.000Andrew, we did not anticipate be streaming again on a Sunday.
00:08:28.000Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump gets shot in the ear.
00:08:31.000Today, on September 15th, a shooter tried to kill Donald Trump at a golf course and became within 300 yards.
00:09:09.000And that was from Stephen Chung, Trump campaign communications director.
00:09:14.000That went from, okay, we don't know if this was directed at President Trump or if this was something unrelated and it just happened to be near him.
00:09:24.000Next, we saw from the New York Post that they were reporting that it was gunshots between two people outside the golf club and that, you know, bad part of town.
00:09:38.000This was just sort of some gun violence that happened nearby President Trump.
00:09:45.000Kristen Holmes and John Miller from CNN reported that the gunfire was intended for President Trump.
00:09:54.000So then everything started going off at that point because that was a huge narrative shift because everybody's assuming it was just sort of inadvertent gunfire.
00:10:04.000That was a big turning point in the storyline.
00:10:07.000And then President Trump put out a statement through Sean Hannity saying, you know, I'm okay.
00:10:13.000Then we were not sure if it was a shootout between Secret Service agents and the gunman or the suspects.
00:10:21.000And then eventually it became clear that this was about 300 to 500 yards away from where President Trump was putting on the fifth hole and the U.S.
00:10:34.000Secret Service agent spotted the rifle muzzle hidden in the tree line in the bushes.
00:10:41.000The suspect fled, got as far over the county line before he was apprehended.
00:10:47.000So this was a story that took about two, two and a half hours to essentially get us to where we are right now.
00:10:54.000So it was a little trickle of information here, there, and everywhere.
00:10:57.000And I think, Charlie, one of the most appalling parts of this entire saga today is the piece of tape, and I believe we have it, during the press conference where they basically admitted Uh, that they had Trump been the current president, that they would have had the entire perimeter of the golf course closed down.
00:12:45.000You see, if and when America falls and collapses, one of the reasons why our country will no longer exist is bureaucratic and administrative red tape and paralysis instead of the American spirit of, that guy, you know, he should have said that loser that was doing a press conference.
00:13:32.000It's just I'm thinking about where he has this limited detail and thinking about who gets Secret Service protection like Hunter Biden has a Secret Service detail.
00:13:43.000Ashley Biden has a secret service detail.
00:13:45.000Jill Biden has this strong secret service detail.
00:13:49.000And all you can think is, I bet you could maybe have the people protecting them and
00:13:55.000reallocate that towards the person who's had two assassination attempts against his life
00:14:06.000And just it's so obvious what's been whipped up here.
00:14:11.000And we're having to sit through one of the things that's most appalling is it's like
00:14:15.000on each successive major threat, you've seen the press get more flagrant with what they
00:14:21.000So there were like gestures at this being unacceptable after the first shooting in Butler.
00:14:26.000But after this one, it's pretty much an immediate turnaround of Lester Holt saying, you know, President Trump brought this on himself because he talked about, you know, Haitian migrants in Springfield.
00:15:59.000Well, Charlie, I'm not looking at what Lester Holt is saying, and it's very obvious they're trying to spin the narrative as hard as they can because we're pulling up the shooter's Twitter posts on X, which is still active.
00:16:10.000We're pulling up whatever was on his Facebook page.
00:16:13.000Mark Zuckerberg is just taking that down.
00:16:15.000So I guess Mark Zuckerberg decided to not tell the truth or he wasn't telling the
00:16:19.000truth about how he was going to stand for openness and transparency in this
00:16:22.000election because he just scrubbed the page of a would-be presidential assassin
00:16:26.000before people were able to get copies of the entire thing. Now Mark, you could
00:16:30.000you could decide to be on the right side of history and actually stand up for
00:16:35.000the American people and you've got a great opportunity. Elon Musk has
00:16:38.000left the account up for now. Mark Zuckerberg, if you want to do the
00:16:41.000right thing, if you You want to stand to be measured.
00:16:45.000Stand for transparency, allow the shooter's account to stay up, or provide the information.
00:16:49.000You can tweet it out with your own ex-account right now if you wanted, Marky Mark.
00:16:54.000Unfortunately for Lester Holt, we've got the actual information about who this shooter reportedly was.
00:17:02.000Reportedly is, I should say, because he's still alive and information as to how he became increasingly radicalized from 2016 onwards to adopt this radical anti-Trump position.
00:17:13.000It's actually all there on his ex account.
00:17:15.000Blake, what else do we know about this guy and his ties to Ukraine, if any?
00:17:21.000He seems to be pathologically obsessed with a foreign war.
00:17:25.000That probably is a motive, if you can, and we're learning that through the social media postings, Blake.
00:17:31.000Yeah, so it seems he claims he spent eight months in Ukraine.
00:18:05.000I don't know for sure off the top of my head.
00:18:07.000But he did give an interview to Semaphore representing himself as having, he's like,
00:18:11.000I have partners meeting with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense every week.
00:18:15.000And he's talking about having issues getting visas for people to fight in Ukraine.
00:18:19.000So he claimed to be so involved that he was recruiting fighters abroad to get them to go to Ukraine.
00:18:24.000And that's, again, going to strengthen the suspicions that this guy would have connections with the US security state.
00:18:30.000Because if this guy is literally recruiting fighters for the Ukraine war effort, it's hard to imagine he never interacted with our own security apparatus.
00:18:39.000He also was interviewed by the New York Times again in spring of 2023.
00:18:43.000He is described as a former construction worker from Greensboro, North Carolina, who was seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban after that country fell.
00:18:57.000It says Mr. Routh, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he is planning to move these fighters, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine.
00:19:08.000He said dozens had expressed interest.
00:19:11.000We can probably purchase some passports through Ukraine since it's such a corrupt country, Routh said in an interview from Washington.
00:19:20.000So this is definitely going to get unpacked, whether this is a schizo guy just screaming into the void, or if he really was seriously running organizations like this, seriously recruiting fighters for Ukraine.
00:19:34.000And if that was the case, that's really going to get a lot of attention.
00:19:38.000I think it's even worth asking How did, like, who put the New York Times and Semaphore in contact with this guy?
00:19:47.000We're going to be learning a lot more about this guy, especially since, it's worth noting, this guy's still alive, unlike the last Trump shooter.
00:19:54.000So, we could be hearing some very interesting things from him in the days to come, possibly.
00:19:58.000Let's play some more tape here, guys, that we have.
00:20:01.000As Donald Trump survives another attempted assassination, praise God, the hand of God is on this guy.
00:20:51.000It is something that we now live with on a regular basis.
00:20:54.000Again, had Donald Trump, had President Trump only made it been one hole closer on the range, if Thomas Matthew Crooks' bullet had only been one inch to the right, we would be
00:21:07.000having a very different conversation right now, Charlie, we'd be having a very different
00:21:12.000election. And and quite honestly, this country would have been thrown into absolute turmoil.
00:21:18.000This is not something that anybody wants.
00:21:21.000But again, and I remember the Democrats, after the first time that someone tried to take out
00:21:26.000President Trump, they said that they were going to tone down the rhetoric. You remember that,
00:21:29.000Charlie, they said they were going to tone down the rhetoric and that we were going to watch it
00:21:33.000off. It lasted about 24 hours. It lasted about 24 hours. So they went right back and Hitler
00:21:40.000right back to calling him a threat to democracy.
00:21:43.000Well, not only that, they're saying right now that Donald Trump deserves it.
00:21:45.000This is MSNBC, who is a, it's a demented network.
00:22:02.000Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to do that?
00:22:08.000Because he's going to reach out to his supporters and say, let's take this down.
00:22:15.000We do not know, again, the source of any gunshot or gunshots.
00:22:19.000We don't know Who's responsible for this?
00:22:22.000The whole thing has yet to be 100% confirmed from start to finish how this all played out.
00:22:28.000But do you expect to hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric, toning down the violence, or would that be atypical of the former president?
00:22:38.000Well, Alex, remember back to the assassination attempt on President Trump's life and how, you know, there was talk of a new tone and then the Republican convention was, by Trumpian standards, muted.
00:22:51.000And it did seem like he was, you know, just trying to take it down a few notches.
00:22:57.000But then, by the end of his convention speech, you know, we were kind of back to where we started.
00:23:04.000Again, I remember being at the convention.
00:23:06.000This is exactly how they work, the media.
00:23:10.000By the way, can you get that image up on screen, Ryan?
00:23:20.000I remember how many reporters came up to me, Andrew, and came up to us, Andrew, in Milwaukee, and they were like, well, are you guys going to start calming down your rhetoric?
00:23:31.000Are you going to say that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are going to calm down their rhetoric?
00:23:34.000We're not responsible for any of this.
00:23:36.000And Rachel Vindman, by the way, has been saying on Twitter, like a lunatic, and I want Blake to walk through it and to go through those details.
00:23:44.000And Kamala Harris has been calling Donald Trump a dictator, saying Donald Trump will be a dictator on day one.
00:23:49.000Basically, again, laying the philosophical foundation for Donald Trump to be killed.
00:24:53.000Look, Charlie, you can't look at this and go back to say that we've had any other history in this election because we've Never lived through something like this before, you know, you talk about a debate, you talk about a, you know, a tweet here or there, we live in the, we live in an era of 24 hour news cycles, or these days, it's been like 24 minute news cycles, sometimes 24 second news cycles.
00:25:17.000And stepping back, you really realize that, you know, maybe think of the 2016 election.
00:25:23.000Sure, I can remember a bunch of different things, but there are really only one or two historic moments from that entire time.
00:25:31.000500 years from now, people will be talking about the fact that Donald Trump survived two assassination attempts during this election.
00:25:59.000You're sorry that you have to deal with this guy.
00:26:01.000You're sorry that this is the one person with a platform in America who, and I think we were talking about this on one of our thought crime shows recently, but that he doesn't give you platitudes.
00:26:11.000What Donald Trump talks about are the actual issues facing everyday Americans.
00:26:16.000When you talk about Springfield, Ohio, guess what?
00:26:18.000He gives a voice to the people that are saying that they're reporting atrocities and horrors in their town.
00:26:23.000And then the media turns around and says it's a lie and that President Trump is actually some kind of villain for just repeating things that actual everyday Americans are telling him that are happening on the ground in this country.
00:26:34.000That's why he's a threat to this regime.
00:26:37.000And look, I'm not going to say it, but.
00:26:39.000Charlie, I have a lot of questions about why the Biden administration has still yet to refuse to give him presidential level protection.
00:26:48.000Why does he not have a full detail even now two months after someone took a shot at him?
00:26:53.000Why does he still have to rely on, and they've been great by the way, the local support that he's gotten down in Palm Beach, why does he have to rely on that and why are they not treating him like with a presidential level detail right now currently?
00:28:55.000Rachel Vindman is the wife of Alexander Vindman.
00:28:59.000Alexander Vindman, you'll recall, is that guy on the Nash... I think it was... Was he, like, a Pentagon liaison to the CIA?
00:29:06.000He had some sort of, like, liaison role, I believe.
00:29:09.000Or maybe it was NSC, National Security Council, whatever it was.
00:29:12.000He was the guy who was like a whistleblower, or he was testifying about the Ukraine, during the Ukraine impeachment drama, and we had to endure all of this nonsense about him being a national hero.
00:29:24.000Anyway, his wife, Rachel Vindman, has just been on its hair today, just tweeting absolutely vile stuff.
00:29:31.000So this was four hours ago, so basically right when this happened, she tweets, no ears were harmed, carry on with with your Sunday afternoon. Then two hours ago she tweets,
00:32:17.000Their other alternative is to blame Trump, to spin this and do the whole both sides need to do this, or even worse, just say Trump basically had it coming.
00:32:34.000If Kamala Harris had just today survived a second assassination attempt.
00:32:40.000The First Amendment would be gone as we know it.
00:32:43.000It would be absolutely gone because every single Trump supporter on social media would be wrapped up in some sort of federal investigation and indictment.
00:34:49.000And the FBI's radar, whenever they came back, because coming back, that would trigger a lot of information.
00:34:55.000I'm sure I actually was told that when I went to Ukraine, I was put on the radar as well.
00:35:00.000Even though I was only there for a little bit of time and I certainly wasn't involved in any combat operations.
00:35:05.000If you're someone who goes to a foreign fighter, foreign combat zone, you receive combat training, you receive potentially even combat experience, then you are definitely going to be put on a lot of databases.
00:35:17.000There's no question that this guy had overlap with national security agencies.
00:35:23.000And if there were, they weren't doing their job.
00:35:25.000Look, I knew how to contact those agencies when I was in Lviv.
00:35:29.000I knew directly or within one or two contacts how to get in touch with anybody who was on the ground who was conducting these types of operations.
00:35:36.000We know that they were training at the New York Times has told us that the CIA was training Ukrainian death squads and Ukrainian hit squads along the border with Russia in a series of a dozen plus bases that they had on the Ukraine-Russia border.
00:35:48.000So we've known the CIA has been there for a long, long time.
00:35:51.000They've been intimately involved with all of this, including the backfield in Lviv, where it says this exactly where this guy was.
00:35:57.000in 2022 when he was there. So the idea that he doesn't have any nexus with federal law enforcement
00:36:02.000or federal national security, this is the exact place where national security agencies have been
00:36:09.000conducting the bulk of their operations since the drop of the withdrawal from Kabul since, oh,
00:36:16.000by the way, Abigail, this is exactly where they're posted up. And a lot of those same types of
00:36:22.000resources that were going into Afghanistan have now made their way to Ukraine over the last two
00:36:27.000Now, we don't know how long this guy was there, we don't know what his current level of involvement is, but the fact that he's all over the place being directly identified as the head of one of these Ukrainian foreign fighter organizations directly, by the
00:36:39.000way, associated with my dear friend and colleague, Malcolm Nance.
00:37:15.000Over and over, he says, I will die for Ukraine.
00:37:19.000And it stands to reason, That may have been and certainly his response to the fact that Kamala Harris has now adopted the neoconservative neoliberal approach to continuing the war in Ukraine and continuing all wars really this endless war position.
00:37:34.000We remember if you went and looked and we were here on the stream talking about it that fourth night of the DNC felt like we were watching an RNC from like 2004 with the level of CIA Officials who are up there.
00:37:48.000We've got former military officials all over the place.
00:37:51.000And then hearing Kamala Harris the other night in the debate, talking about how we're going to continue the war.
00:37:55.000America is going to continue to fight hard for the global empire, where it's Donald Trump saying that he's going to end the war, saying that he's going to put a peace deal.
00:38:04.000Just a few days ago, JD Vance floated the first potential outline, I believe, of a peace
00:38:11.000deal for Ukraine, talking about neutrality in terms of NATO, talking about territorial
00:38:17.000balance of power, who gets what territory, etc., etc.
00:38:22.000And JD Vance has been out there talking about this and using that as a potential starting
00:38:26.000point for a framework of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
00:38:30.000So one side's been pushing to end the war, one side's been pushing to continue the war.
00:38:34.000This guy was clearly radicalized, there's no question about that.
00:38:37.000And by the way, I just have to throw out there that, so I, you know, obviously people are
00:38:42.000asking me, so we're, you know, I'm in the middle of writing this book, or I just finished
00:38:46.000writing a book about the first Trump assassination attempt with bulletproof.
00:38:50.000And so I just got off the phone with our publisher and he's confirming that we, since we haven't actually gone to the first printing yet, if we were able, whatever information we're able to consolidate between now and basically tomorrow morning, where we are going to be able to get all of this into the book.
00:39:30.000Trying to put opposition political leaders in jail and in prison.
00:39:33.000Do you know also third world countries have Assassination attempts all the time.
00:39:37.000It is well known in the third world if you run for prime minister or for local dog catcher or for the mayor that you put your lives at risk.
00:39:47.000And we are becoming the third world because we're important in the third world and we cannot even keep The most basic elements of our country safe.
00:39:56.000And we thought after Butler, Pennsylvania, we said never again, never again.
00:39:59.000But how many times did I tell you guys he is not safe?
00:40:02.000Andrew, did I not do many shows and say, guys, he is not safe.
00:40:06.000And yes, I know Secret Service acted well today, but I'm done kind of making competent, like, Compensating type excuses?
00:40:14.000There should be a mile radius around this guy.
00:40:17.000Private security, secret service, local police.
00:40:21.000You're trying to tell me that the local police in Palm Beach would not want to do their job if given the option?
00:40:28.000What I am deathly afraid about is that we are now normalizing assassination attempts against political dissidents that are Republicans and conservatives.
00:40:38.000In fact, I was really disturbed today when I told a couple of my neighbors what happened.
00:41:26.000The CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice, Goldman Sachs, Google, they all want him to not become president.
00:41:35.000They want Kamala Harris to become president.
00:41:37.000And did this guy, was he connected to some sort of a NATO Central Intelligence Agency type organization?
00:41:44.000And Andrew, I want to get on this, but I just want to make one thing.
00:41:47.000Isn't it bizarre that the woman who is the most deranged right now, Vindman, who also has direct connections to Ukraine, Is also the same day that a Ukrainian sympathizer, maybe Ukrainian foreign agent, almost killed Donald Trump.
00:42:02.000This has a lot of Ukraine wrinkles to it.
00:42:04.000The more we find out, the more we're going to be disturbed.
00:42:07.000And finally, I'm going to get Andrew in on this.
00:42:09.000Why do you think that we're going to get the entire truth here?
00:42:12.000We never got the entire truth out of Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:42:14.000Governor Ron DeSantis, we are calling on you right now to take complete control over this investigation.
00:42:23.000The feds should not be handling this investigation.
00:42:26.000This needs to be handled by Florida marshals.
00:42:29.000And Congress, by the way, should pass a law saying if you attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate, you get the death penalty, period, and no 10-year waiting period.
00:42:40.000Right now, let's get, hey, Mike Johnson, can we get you right now to go pass that bill?
00:42:45.000But no, they want Donald Trump to be a sitting duck, because if a bullet is able to hit Donald Trump, the most powerful oligarchs on the planet will breathe a sigh of relief.
00:42:58.000Yeah, well said there, Charlie, at the end.
00:43:01.000So, just a couple things to reinforce your point.
00:43:04.000Charlie, you know, we all know that Butler PA was a miracle.
00:43:08.000I would submit to you that what happened today Spotting that guy's rifle through the shrubs in the tree line was about as miraculous as what happened in Butler, PA.
00:44:16.000This guy's working with sources over there.
00:44:18.000Obviously, we don't have proof of any of this.
00:44:20.000But this guy was existing, as he claims, for eight months in that part of the world, interacting with potentially all sorts of foreign actors.
00:44:28.000And we know that, to Jack's point, that he got radicalized during this time.
00:44:31.000Maybe he's always been radical, but he certainly became more so.
00:44:36.000And the Vindman tie-in is shocking and appalling.
00:44:58.000The question as far as why I'm here, to me, you know, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white.
00:45:08.000This is a storybook, you know, any movie we've ever watched, this is definitely evil against good.
00:45:14.000I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, the Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind and When I visited Ukraine in 2022, I met guys like this.
00:45:36.000That, that was, so when I visited Ukraine in 2022, I met guys like this.
00:45:41.000I met guys who were so completely, and look, if you want to go over there
00:45:45.000and help for humanitarian interests, if you want to go help for humanitarian reasons,
00:45:48.000then God bless you, because there's a real war going on, and there's real war caught up in it.
00:45:52.000But there were also people that I met when I was in Ukraine who viewed this thing as if it was some sort of
00:45:59.000like a, like a movie or a quest or a TV show, or I don't even know what you want to call it,
00:46:05.000where they felt like they were actual freedom fighters going off on some sort of
00:46:13.000adventure and they just became totally radicalized.
00:46:16.000You couldn't even have conversations with them because everything they would talk about,
00:46:19.000they would just come back to, well, we just have to keep fighting for freedom.
00:46:22.000You know, we just have to keep fighting for love and justice and the beauty.
00:46:26.000And they become totally radicalized to the cause, almost a jihad level.
00:46:32.000And by the way, I say this as a guy who spent a year at Guantanamo Bay,
00:46:35.000they almost had a jihad level affection for Ukraine.
00:46:41.000And that's fine, but that isn't even your own country.
00:46:45.000That's not somewhere you're from, where they were taking, many cases,
00:46:48.000a lot of these cold warriors were going over and they were taking up their pent-up frustrations.
00:46:52.000They were taking up the fact that they had failed in their own lives.
00:46:55.000They, you know, many of them didn't have wives and kids.
00:46:58.000And they were just these adrenaline junkie types, these thrill seekers, who then were going over there and portraying themselves as being involved in some kind of romantic...
00:47:06.000Uh, epic struggle against good and evil with the exact same rhetoric that I'm hearing from Ryan Routh.
00:47:11.000I'd never seen that video before, but I've heard those words before when I was visiting Ukraine from people who were involved in the same foreign fighter flow.
00:47:19.000And, uh, we all can, uh, guess as to where exactly those talking points were coming from.
00:47:24.000We know the New York times is pushing this.
00:47:25.000We know CIA was pushing this and we know for a fact, we know for an absolute fact that NATO and all the rest of them have Huge direct ties to the foreign fighters that were going involved in this situation.
00:47:37.000We know there have been many Americans, by the way, who have gone and joined in these efforts and died on the battlefield because they didn't realize that it was a real war that they were getting involved in with actual artillery, actual targeting, actual and now of course kamikaze drones and all sorts of suicide drones that have been used on the front lines.
00:47:55.000And to a point where it doesn't actually surprise me to hear this type of rhetoric, because even when you try to talk to these people now, they will not listen to reason.
00:48:02.000They are completely radicalized at a jihadist level.
00:48:06.000That is well said, and I just want to repeat earlier, everybody, it is difficult for some people to face head-on the evil that is within our country, because we don't want to live in an unpleasant country.
00:48:20.000And it is hard to believe that you have a former president opposition leader that every 60 days has to now withstand a potential assassination attempt.
00:48:40.000And this should be conviction for everybody watching right now to go register voters, to go get your friends to go vote, to go to tpaction.com slash vote.
00:48:50.000To go and be a part of Commit 100 and download the Turning Point Action app.
00:48:54.000The only way that we fight back is with a decisive and overwhelming victory in November.
00:49:00.000And if we don't, then we will be basically ceding ground to people that have used assassination attempts against Donald Trump.
00:49:08.000The attempted assassin today, like the one back in Butler, Pennsylvania, we're never going to get the entire story.
00:49:15.000We're never going to get all the details about this.
00:50:41.000It's an old trick that Lester Holt is using.
00:50:43.000Oh, this comes in the context of Donald Trump saying heated rhetoric about their eating dogs?
00:50:49.000That has nothing to do with the fact, by the way, that Donald Trump doesn't got shot, but for the regime media, it has everything to do with it.
00:50:55.000Because if you dare say you want to stop the spread, stop the spread of foreigners coming into your hometown and foreigners coming to your neighborhood, it is open season for you.
00:52:11.000Hey, Jack, remember when you walked the halls of the DNC and it took you nearly five minutes after asking hundreds of people to find a single Democrat that would denounce the assassination attempt of Donald Trump?
00:52:24.000I think it was more like 15 minutes because I was going around very politely and we've got the video, we've got, you know, we did it right here on the SuperStream where, you know, we were up, it was me, you and Blake, and we were going around and I was at the DNC and I was simply asking, would anyone denounce?
00:52:42.000And I was being very polite, not screaming at people.
00:52:45.000I did yell at Eric Holder, but that was something else.
00:52:48.000And I was just asking them, would you denounce?
00:52:51.000And then I got no's, I got all this, the rest of it.
00:52:55.000Eventually, finally, one person said, interestingly enough though, Charlie,
00:52:59.000something that I really will always remember that earlier in the day,
00:53:03.000we were doing the same type of thing, or excuse me, the week before at the RNC,
00:53:33.000Once you understand, and this was the whole thesis of the book, Unhumans, that once you understand that the far left views you, views conservatives, views Trump supporters as an invasive species, and views Donald Trump as the head of the invasive species, that And you need to be eradicated, that you are standing in the way of utopia, you are standing in the way of all that is good, of everything that their program promises.
00:54:01.000And remember, communism is only one mass killing away from paradise on earth.
00:54:07.000And if they can just get rid of a few more of these racists, these xenophobes, these extremists, these Hitlerites, these blood-and-soil nationalists, as the New York Times said yesterday, Then, and only then, can we have the future that was promised.
00:54:22.000Oh, and by the way, safety for Ukraine and saving democracy, which is on the ballot.
00:54:27.000All things that were on the Twitter account of this reported individual who attempted to take shots at President Trump today.
00:54:35.000Blake, Edward Snowden, who I'm not sure you're a fan of or not, I don't know your opinion on Edward Snowden, but he's obviously got some credibility.
00:54:44.000Mind you, Edward Snowden is taking asylum in Russia, so you gotta take that with a heavy grain of salt.
00:54:49.000He is connecting the dots right now, where he says in a tweet, Edward Snowden, He just said, we know very little so far, but the alleged Trump shooter personal and public participation in military activity in Ukraine, it is hard to imagine this White House agencies can claim, quote, zero contact and clean hands.
00:55:40.000Is it possible that this guy was attached with U.S.
00:55:45.000taxpayer-funded efforts in Ukraine What do we know?
00:55:49.000I think it's virtually guaranteed this man had contact with something related to the Ukraine effort.
00:55:56.000Someone in Congress, someone at the Pentagon, someone at the CIA, someone had contact with this guy.
00:56:05.000In all honesty, I will wonder how much further it could go from that, because what I'll say from this guy's online presence, he does seem nuts kind of in a
00:56:16.000schizo adjacent way people have found his act blue donations on his act blue
00:57:05.000Maybe people actually did support his organization.
00:57:08.000Maybe he was in contact with the Ukrainian government.
00:57:12.000Uh, and it's very possible also that a person who is that involved, like, he may have babbled to some of these people about wanting to take a shot at Trump, take a shot at other Republicans, take a shot at people opposed to this war, and then maybe they didn't take it seriously?
00:57:30.000And the most extreme of all possibilities, we have to weigh this as a possibility, is that someone In Ukraine, someone in the Ukrainian government egged him on to do this.
00:57:43.000And we already have suspicions that Ukraine was involved in blowing up the Nord Stream Pipeline.
00:57:48.000If you believe the New York Times, they're the ones who did it without the U.S.
00:57:53.000I think we all raise an eyebrow at that.
00:57:54.000But that's even the official story they're basically pushing through the regime press is Ukraine on their own is willing to do things like blow up the Nord Stream Pipeline.
00:58:03.000You may remember, you were actually, I think, talking about it with him over the weekend when Tucker Carlson was in Russia.
00:58:11.000It seems that someone linked with Ukraine tried to assassinate him there.
00:58:15.000So we have quite a bit of evidence that Ukraine is willing to do assassination efforts to take out their enemies, of which Donald Trump, they would certainly count as one.
00:58:27.000And I just consider it entirely possible that this guy either was linked with them or egged on by them and maybe
00:58:35.000even, God forbid, like was actually working on their behalf. I would be skeptical of that just
01:00:27.000I mean, there was no barrier to entry.
01:00:30.000There was no barrier to entry whatsoever in these Ukrainian foreign fighter units.
01:00:35.000You could show up, and if you had a pulse, and they would accept you.
01:00:38.000And remember, there wasn't just the International Legion of Ukraine.
01:00:42.000That's what Malcolm Nance was involved in, as well as a few other groups.
01:00:45.000But there were also all of these, this patchwork of organizations surrounding them that operated as a sort of top of funnel for the foreign fighters coming in.
01:00:54.000Many people did make money off of this, and this is something the New York Times
01:00:57.000profiled about a year ago, and they really went hard against these efforts.
01:01:01.000But there were also people that came in through these foreign fighter units
01:01:04.000that did receive training from the international battalions of Ukraine.
01:01:08.000And we know that those international battalions were completely backstopped by the US government,
01:01:14.000that were backstopped by US taxpayer dollars, that were backstopped by CIA units
01:01:18.000that were training many of them early on, and in fact, even NATO units training early on,
01:01:22.000which by the way, this is going to have, this is going to have massive geopolitical ramifications.
01:01:29.000Whether or not this guy was directly tied to them, because you know that America's adversaries and the folks on the other side of the ball in the Ukraine conflict are going to pick this up immediately.
01:01:40.000I'd be surprised if they haven't already.
01:01:42.000So you've got a situation here where there was a guy who was running around Ukraine Potentially for 8 months.
01:01:47.000We don't know exactly what he was doing, but clearly he was there for enough time to pick up enough of the lingo, enough of the contacts, and enough of the training to be interviewed by multiple serious journalists from places like Semaphore, and then also places like the New York Times, where he was profiled by them.
01:02:06.000So my questions would go back to them to say, what was your sourcing when you profiled him in the first place?
01:02:10.000Did you actually confirm that he was in Ukraine?
01:02:13.000Did you confirm that he had spent time there?
01:02:43.000You see these people online, they referred themselves as NAFO, the North Atlantic Fellows Organization.
01:02:48.000Senator Mike Lee, by the way, has been someone, huge credit to him for calling out The radicalization elements of this group, specifically, it wouldn't surprise me if this guy was involved in those assets.
01:02:58.000By the way, the Vindmans, both of them, or I guess all three of them, have been heavily involved with this NAFO group, so it doesn't surprise me for a second, as well as Malcolm Nance, that somebody would arise from this extremely anti-conservative, anti-Republican, pro-Ukraine, pro-deep state force in order to go and take a shot at President Trump.
01:03:20.000When you talk to me about foreign intel, you know, if this guy was over there, look, all it takes is one person.
01:03:26.000All it takes is one person from the Azov battalion or someone who's got a signal account with this guy to say, look, Ryan, We saw the debate.
01:04:23.000It was a new low where they could not take 20 minutes off.
01:04:27.000Instead, cheerleading, supporting, and complete indifference to the fact that Donald Trump survived is a correct and technical term, but I want to be clear, he was not shot at.
01:04:38.000But Donald Trump, there was an unsuccessful assassination attempt against Donald Trump today.
01:04:42.000So I guess survived is the right term.
01:04:44.000Andrew, final thoughts on the media's treatment and reaction here.
01:06:29.000It's just I can't get over how much more glaring it is from the press that they're coming out and they're saying actually it's Donald Trump's fault this happened.
01:06:38.000Donald Trump deserves this to happen to him.
01:06:40.000And I just I feel like we're approaching this point of no return where you can just imagine
01:06:45.000if this had worked and what they would be saying where they back.
01:06:47.000Well it's only natural that you know this man who sowed so much violence reaped violence
01:06:52.000in return and they would just be unsubtly celebrating it.
01:06:55.000I think it's it's truly despicable what these people do.
01:07:00.000And I think we have to really be thinking about how we can hold them accountable.
01:07:04.000I think you know it'd just be a fun measure if like you know if we manage to win this
01:07:08.000and just say actually you know CNN and MSNBC you're not allowed to have reporters in the
01:07:13.000White House anymore and we're never letting you back in period.
01:07:16.000And just like you really have to start treating these people as you know as your enemies because
01:07:22.000they just their behavior is such that they do not view the political opposition as legitimate
01:07:28.000and they do not view the supporters of the political opposition as their countrymen.
01:07:33.000They view them as acceptable targets for violence and I think they need to be called out directly
01:08:05.000Yeah, look, like I said before, for anyone who's ordered a copy of Bulletproof, or if you're planning to, we are working very diligently.
01:08:14.000We're going to compile as much information as we can tonight, get it to the publisher up tomorrow, and we will be including it in Bulletproof in some way, shape, or form.
01:08:23.000We've got to figure that out from a formatting perspective.
01:08:25.000But look, I said two months ago that this would happen again.
01:08:39.000They will try again, and again, and again, and possibly even before he becomes president, even if he wins the election, because there are very dark and shadowy forces that want to stop him from becoming president at all costs.
01:08:53.000You're talking billions and billions of dollars on the line if Ukraine comes off.
01:08:57.000By the way, that's a huge part of the book, that we talk about the military-industrial complex, and now we have a direct...
01:11:02.000I want to say thank you, Lord, again, for your divine intervention and for saving the life of Donald Trump and for keeping The peace, at least at this moment, because this country would be in bedlam if another shooter would have been able to shoot Donald Trump, let alone kill Donald Trump.
