Summary
Matthew "Manny" Crooks is dead, and the FBI still won't come clean about what happened to him and why he's no longer alive. Also, why the FBI won't even acknowledge the fact that they found out about it?

00:40:34.820
We might have something very big for you guys on Tuesday.
00:40:39.340
But yeah, so what you guys are observing right here is a bunch of information that Tucker Carlson and a source and some other individuals, probably some investigative journalists, were able to compile together that the FBI did not provide to us.
00:40:54.180
Now, let me tell you guys something about how the FBI operates that a lot of people need to really understand.
00:41:00.440
There's a reason why a lot of different law enforcement agencies don't like to work with the FBI, and it's because they're a very one-way street, okay?
00:41:08.380
That means if you do work with them, it's going to be you share information with them, but they don't necessarily feel the need to share information with you.
00:41:14.980
This replicates itself with how they conduct business when they deal with other agencies, okay?
00:41:24.300
And this is why so many different agencies have problems when they work with them, especially, you know, other state, local, and federal agencies.
00:41:31.820
And I'm not surprised that it took Tucker Carlson and investigative journalists to bring this information to the forefront.
00:41:42.200
I'm not surprised whatsoever because they've been doing this bullshit for a very long time.
00:41:45.140
Now, the reason why this makes it worse is because you got Kash Patel here, right, as the FBI director who, you know, swore that he was going to make things more transparent.
00:41:59.680
And when it comes to this Matthew Crooks thing, we're not getting that transparency that we want, especially since the guy's dead.
00:42:06.020
The guy's gone. Release everything. You know what I mean?
00:42:09.680
Who was there to prosecute? You know, there's no active investigations on this shit.
00:42:13.920
So it just doesn't make sense. It really doesn't make sense.
00:42:18.280
And rightfully so, a lot of people are pissed off. A lot of people are pissed off.
00:42:21.840
And the fact that he managed all these different accounts that we didn't know anything about, right, is also strange.
00:42:30.380
None of this stuff was mentioned because they try to sit there and say, oh, yeah, he has no footprint at all.
00:42:34.180
He has no footprint whatsoever on the Internet.
00:42:42.860
Might have something huge for you guys on Tuesday.
00:43:17.560
Democrats deserve to have their heads chopped off and put on stakes for the world to see what happens when you fuck with them.
00:43:32.720
These sorts of comments continued for months and became increasingly violent.
00:43:37.600
The following day, Crooks responded to a CBS Evening News video about the squad saying this, quote,
00:43:43.240
This is going to be blatantly racist, but I hope Trump has these people murdered.
00:43:47.560
Bro, you know, some people, guys, are like really sick in the head where politics, like, overrides everything else.
00:44:02.660
Crooks openly called for dictatorship and putting, quote, Hispanics back in their place.
00:44:07.360
He warned that if Democrats win in 2020, quote, they won't be in there for long because unlike the Dems, we have guns and lots of them.
00:44:16.220
In one comment, Crooks noted that, quote, 50 million Americans with AR-15s will make quick work of any blockades the government can put in to protect the White House.
00:44:25.260
He left multiple references to Mao Zedong's famous line, the only real political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
00:44:34.360
Bro, this is crazy that he was able to comment all this shit.
00:44:39.100
You can say all the crazy shit on the Internet and no one gives a fuck, man.
00:44:42.360
And I'm telling you guys, your ability to speak freely is 100% contingent upon your influence.
00:44:51.560
No one gives a fuck what you got to say if you're a nobody.
00:44:54.320
That's why these Twitter and on niggas say all the stupid shit that they say.
00:45:00.140
Crooks responded to comments about a potential civil war, saying this.
00:45:04.060
Most rioters don't bring assault rifles and body armor like we would.
00:45:10.840
At this point, one user named HyperPandas responded, saying, quote,
00:45:15.860
Law enforcement will thank you for grouping up and being so visible.
00:45:22.320
Crooks responded, saying, cops can't arrest me if they're all dead.
00:45:26.660
Before adding, even an untrained man with an AR-15 is dangerous.
00:45:31.020
You think Adam Lanza or any school shooter trained?
00:45:34.820
If you navigate to that YouTube page today, you can still see identical contextual comments
00:45:40.540
and people referring to Thomas Crooks, including one user who wrote this.
00:45:44.400
You're on YouTube threatening to shoot government officials.
00:45:48.140
I sure hope the FBI is monitoring social media for violent nutcases.
00:45:52.140
That exchange is still available on Internet Archive websites.
00:45:55.980
But the FBI didn't see that before the shooting?
00:45:59.660
On various occasions, Crooks openly said things like, Mueller should be hanged along with the rest of the Democrats involved in that witch hunt.
00:46:06.980
And for those of you that, you know, forgot or don't know, Mueller was arrested.
00:46:13.540
He was charged, which obviously led to his arrest.
00:46:15.760
But he surrendered to it by the FBI for lying under oath.
00:46:28.380
I recently saw someone ask for your opinion on First Amendment auditors, and you didn't know what that was.
00:46:32.640
I suggest checking out Long Island Audit on YouTube.
00:46:41.480
But what do you think about me being a former athlete turned sport analyst using sport betting?
00:46:51.060
You might be a better gambler than others, but you are a gambler.
00:46:55.520
Red Pill Clipper, bro, how much money you think Tomlitt Tatum has made so far with all these Nick hit pieces?
00:47:15.540
They cosplay as free speech guys, but they're fucking pro-Israel shills.
00:47:22.520
And when I saw them interview Tatum today, I was like, bro, you guys got to bring on somebody.
00:47:29.040
Like, these niggas only bring on, like, fucking woke retards or pro-Israel morons.
00:47:35.160
Or they'll bring on, like, Dave Smith, who's, like, not going to tell them they're retarded.
00:47:39.900
Like, Dave Smith is the safe person that people bring on whenever they want to have, like, a voice that's critical of Israel.
00:47:53.380
Um, but the thing with Dave Smith is he's going to keep it strictly to Israel.
00:47:58.920
He's not going to talk about the problems with them boys, how their religion is fucked up, the supremacy mindset that they have.
00:48:06.120
He's not going to talk about world jury, right?
00:48:08.680
He's not going to talk about none of that shit.
00:48:10.100
He's going to keep it strictly to Israel, apartheid, genocide, fine.
00:48:15.900
But this is a much bigger problem than just the state of Israel.
00:48:27.820
But, um, but this is what, you know, all the big media names, anytime they want to bring in someone who's a pro-Palestine voice,
00:48:37.340
they bring in Dave Smith because Dave Smith is very safe and you don't have to worry about nothing.
00:48:43.100
We go in there and we're going to talk, you know, full retard about the real problems.
00:48:53.340

00:49:55.860
I mean, I've went back and forth with this Constantine guy.
00:50:02.720
He's pro-Israel, which means he's a retard off rip.
00:50:04.860
Anyone that's pro-Israel clearly is a dumbass that got their $7,000.
00:50:17.060
Balanced by Force says, thanks for the motivation.
00:50:27.840
GhostJQ says, gives me a link and says, thoughts on what he said?
00:50:31.540
He's actually telling them to vote to release it.
00:50:54.220
We'll react to the, um, we will go ahead and react to the, um,
00:51:08.020
The, uh, trigonometry, uh, discussion with, uh, Officer Tatum.
00:51:11.380
Let me, let me pull that up actually, because I watched a little bit of it
00:51:16.680
And then I kind of just realized like these, these guys at trigonometry
00:51:37.060
It's very frustrating because, um, they're too scared to platform certain
00:51:47.700
Uh, so that I wouldn't drink alcohol so that I could stay on my fitness goals.
00:52:00.780
Let me re- I'm going to refresh the page real quick, guys.
00:52:13.920
I always believed being patriotic was lining up a bunch of socialist Jews, like the ones
00:52:23.400
who booed Trump, and blasting their useless brains out with an AR.
00:52:27.480
Bro, what the fuck is wrong with this guy, bro?
00:52:29.480
And yet, in early 2020, Crooks seemed to change, radically.
00:52:38.760
On January 23rd of that year, he referred to, quote, Trump's stupidity.
00:52:43.320
He began to mock the concept of the deep state.
00:52:46.440
He suggested it was a code word used by Trump supporters for, quote, anyone who disagrees
00:52:52.120
Suddenly, he sounded like an MSNBC commentator.
00:52:54.500
In February of 2020, he called out Trump's supporters as, quote, too brainwashed to realize
00:53:00.740
I mean, literally, you guys sound like a cult at times.
00:53:03.700
That same day, he called Trump and his supporters, quote, racist.
00:53:09.460
That April, during the peak phase of the coronavirus lockdowns, Crooks wrote, quote,
00:53:13.480
It seems that you people don't understand that sometimes public safety comes before your
00:53:20.000
Are you not willing to quarantine one member of your family to save the rest?
00:53:26.320
Okay, so we're starting to see the transition here.
00:53:29.040
You're starting to become more left wing because, remember, guys, this was like at the height
00:53:42.020
If you don't put a mask, you're killing everybody.
00:53:47.860
No, you're fucking retarded if you guys think this dude was based.
00:53:49.900
This guy was pro fucking vaccine and mask, bro.
00:53:54.040
Of course, niggas on YouTube are idiots that say this guy was yet based retards.
00:53:59.880
Around this time, the new left wing version of Thomas Crooks became very critical of
00:54:05.660
He said at one point, quote, going to a Chinese New Year's party in America isn't putting
00:54:09.880
you at risk for coronavirus because, believe it or not, viruses don't spread through race
00:54:16.720
That may, as state officials across the country overhauled election systems to promote mail-in
00:54:21.880
voting, Crooks attacked Republican concerns about voter fraud as, quote, ignorant.
00:54:27.280
Four months later, in August 2020, his tone had shifted even further to the left.
00:54:32.020
He said, quote, I believe the outcome will be irrelevant.
00:54:36.200
And just so you guys know, this dude was getting, like, all A's in school, by the way.
00:54:40.900
Bro's getting all A's in school, but he's still a fucking dumbass.
00:54:43.860
And this is what I mean when I say, like, grades don't mean shit.
00:54:52.040
How many women do we know that have good grades but are still fucking morons?
00:54:58.360
This guy was clearly mentally disturbed, right, but still had good grades.
00:55:07.520
This is why I, like, to me, I look at it like critical thinking is probably one of the most
00:55:11.040
important things you can have because you could be a good student with no critical thinking
00:55:15.740
Women tend to be very good students but have very little critical thinking skill.
00:55:22.740
In response to the same video, Thomas Crooks issued what sounds a lot like a digital manifesto.
00:55:30.220
In my opinion, the only way to fight the government is with terrorism-style...
00:55:35.620
This dude is putting this shit on YouTube comments?
00:55:38.680
Sneak a bomb into an essential building and set it off before anyone sees you.
00:55:43.020
Track down any important people or politicians, military leaders, etc., and try to assassinate
00:55:55.140
No bots, by the way, unlike these bitch-ass niggas.
00:55:58.720
Smash that like button if you're watching on YouTube for me.
00:56:12.000
I'm like, you're the only streamer that doesn't bot on this, bitch.
00:56:19.180
I'm realizing, dude, I've been doing a deep dive chat, looking at people's numbers and
00:56:24.860
looking at their chat and all this other stuff.
00:56:29.360
It's actually really ridiculous how much everyone bots in this industry.
00:56:40.860
We're talking about people got 100,000 live viewers and really like 5,000 of them real.
00:56:50.940
Absolutely blatant and disgusting view botting.
00:56:56.580
So, I'm like the only one that doesn't do that shit, bro.
00:57:07.400
Yeah, that's because we don't fucking bot, retard.
00:57:09.640
And then on top of that, we're splitting our viewership.
00:57:21.240
And for all those people that say, oh, well, Rumble view bots.
00:57:28.260
View botting on a publicly traded company is a very bad idea.
00:57:33.300
You'll get into some serious trouble doing that shit.
00:57:38.380
Yeah, you don't really want to deal with that shit.
00:57:50.040
Which we're often able to do because I don't fucking bot.
00:58:03.640
And even ambush or surprise attacks likely aren't going to end well.
00:58:08.120
These remarks were especially notable because they came at the final phase of Crooks' YouTube commenting.
00:58:14.180
At that point, a new character emerged into the conversation.
00:58:20.480
Who started pressuring Crooks to commit violence.
00:58:24.340
If a gun and a badge is all that is needed, then authority obviously comes from the barrel of a gun.
00:58:32.740
There is no way we can avoid a war at this point.
00:58:40.280
And the alternative, a global police state, is unacceptable.
00:58:52.200
The FBI hasn't made any mention of him in public.
00:58:57.440
Just days after the shooting, somebody screenshotted Tepas' YouTube account page.
00:59:04.440
To the extent that he can be traced online now,
00:59:07.240
you can find his username being used on a foreign Antifa website.
00:59:11.200
Those sites link him to the Nordic Resistance Movement,
00:59:14.100
which has been designated a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.
00:59:17.900
We do know, however, that Crooks' online footprint abruptly ends
00:59:22.640
after his encounter with his mysterious figure, Willie Tepas.
00:59:29.440
and what his motives may have been, who he may have been working for,
00:59:32.480
there is no doubt that Crooks was ripe for recruitment by someone.
00:59:37.040
From early 2019 to mid-2020, as his political views were evolving...
00:59:47.900
Okay, so NRM is a prominent transnational neo-Nazi organization
01:00:05.460
operating in Northern Europe with the explicit goal
01:00:07.560
of overthrowing democratic systems to establish a unified white Nordic ethnostate
01:00:10.900
zone of ideology, anti-Semitism, history of attacks.
01:00:24.240
Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Iceland.
01:00:39.100
...to the Nordic Resistance Movement, which has been designated a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.
01:00:45.360
We do know, however, that Crooks' online footprint abruptly ends after his encounter with his mysterious figure, Willie Tepas.
01:00:54.100
Regardless of whoever Willie Tepas is or was, and what his motives may have been...
01:00:59.240
...who he may have been working for, there is no doubt that Crooks was ripe for recruitment by someone.
01:01:05.440
From early 2019 to mid-2020, as his political views were evolving, Frook searched for Trump more than 700 times online.
01:01:14.480
He also searched for Jack Ruby, the man who assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald.
01:01:19.280
He then submitted queries for craziest chemical reactions, cars running over protesters, best places for mass shooting, mass shooting El Paso, Trump's civil war, Orlando's shooting reaction, firing an AR-15 as fast as possible, fertilizer bomb, how to make napalm.
01:01:40.880
How to make a Molotov cocktail, mass shooting Canada, Oklahoma bombing, and sniper in Dallas shooting.
01:01:49.400
Speaking of Sniper in Dallas, we are going to have Corey Hughes on the show, guys, November 22nd.
01:02:01.280
Okay, we are going to have the man himself, Corey Hughes.
01:02:05.020
We're going to do a deep dive on the John F. Kennedy assassination.
01:02:10.280
We're going to cover the CIA angle, the mafia angle, the Israeli angle.
01:02:15.960
It's going to be the anniversary, and OSS 300 guys are welcome to come, okay?
01:02:25.440
OSS 300 guys are going to be there in person, you guys.
01:02:27.580
I'm going to invite you guys to the studio so you guys can go ahead and enjoy the stream real time in person, okay?
01:02:45.780
That is going to be November 22nd, next Saturday.
01:02:54.680
For those of you guys that are wondering, that is my higher tier group.
01:02:59.080
It's only 98 bucks a month, but that is more of a networking group slash in-person group.
01:03:08.620
It's a group designed for more successful guys that are making six figures a year, if not more, or on their way to do so.
01:03:14.980
You guys get four meetings in person a year versus just the one with regular OSS.
01:03:42.740
Hate your brag, but we're pretty confident this show.
01:03:50.580
The guy's political ideology is all over the place, you guys can see here.
01:03:55.500
Here you have a volatile, troubled, possibly mentally ill young man with...
01:04:00.300
Actually, let me read these chats real quick before they pile up too much.
01:04:04.300
I was watching the Fed reacts you did on the Menendez brothers about a year ago,
01:04:07.000
and I was blown away how much the quality of the show has improved in just a year.
01:04:15.040
You should definitely reach out to Adam Green from No More News.
01:04:20.360
Do you think the reason DJ Vlad doesn't want to interview anyone from the Red Pill space
01:04:23.420
is because they are the group that's super critical of them boys and their power?
01:04:29.800
is going to be very problematic for him with DJ Vlad.
01:04:35.020
You guys got to remember that he makes all of his money on a black audience, right?
01:04:38.720
Pushing out hip-hop music, having someone on like me who is critical of hip-hop, critical
01:04:43.760
of the black community that is critical of them boys, which is what he is.
01:04:52.680
You know, I say I'm against the Ukraine-Russia war.
01:05:05.360
And the thing is that Vlad doesn't have the intellectual capacity to debate these topics,
01:05:10.200
He kind of has a position not so much for real reasons, rather for business reasons, right?
01:05:18.880
The political positions he has are for financial and business incentives,
01:05:26.880
In other words, he cosplays as a progressive when in reality he's probably more than likely
01:05:33.660
a conservative, but he will never admit that for obvious reasons.
01:05:40.600
So having a discussion with someone like me, who's not a retarded rapper or a murderer
01:05:44.740
or a criminal, isn't really to his best advantage, right?
01:05:49.320
Because I'm critical of all the institutions he tries to help, or sorry, he tries to cape
01:05:57.060
for black women, black people in general, criminals, Jews, progressives.
01:06:06.240
So it would only hurt him to have someone on like me.
01:06:12.820
Any timeline on when to get the Zionists out of our government?
01:06:17.220
Since you said being pro-Israel means you've sold out, is Alex Jones a big, a sellout
01:06:35.000
I think he likes Israel more than some of these Muslim countries, but I don't think he's
01:06:40.300
Forst, also, can you, every time I've went on with him, he said we need to cut aid to
01:06:45.480
Can you shed some light on Uncensored America chapters?
01:06:48.960
I'm not in college, but I'm going to volunteer if they had a chapter near me.
01:06:53.420
You have to actually be at one of these universities to run an Uncensored chapter.
01:06:59.020
Rumble account says, if he was captured, should Crooks go on WBNN?
01:07:06.420
Yeah, and that shit looks like your YouTube comments in Jay Waller and Mar-a-Lago.
01:07:15.060
Last of the Great says, first, it's the top G, becoming the most Googled person on earth.
01:07:26.400
Myron Blink, twice everything, Tuesday collab show.
01:07:31.980
It is something else, but that will come soon as well.
01:07:35.300
Advocate says, Myron, are there any lawyers in OSS 300, particularly any criminal defense
01:07:40.560
I do think we have one or two lawyers in there.
01:07:44.480
You got to ask Brett, because he's in there every day with them.
01:07:50.820
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Venezuela's cartel de Solas, allegedly led by
01:07:55.260
Maduro and top regime officials, will be designated as terrorist organization for coordinating with
01:07:58.760
groups like Tren de Aragua and Sinaloa cartel to traffic drugs and spread violence across
01:08:12.000
And designate them as a terrorist organization is one of the easiest and fastest ways to do
01:08:20.880
It's pretty good, but the lucky charm, Jay, kept interrupting, saying some sus comments.
01:08:25.780
Didn't attack or refute your idea, but only attacked your character.
01:08:32.920
They always have to, you guys got to understand that a lot of these people, if they get a chance
01:08:41.040
to talk to me, they're going to fucking spurg out and do everything that they can to try
01:08:45.840
to make a name for themselves, even if it means making themselves look like idiots, right?
01:08:48.920
Which they did a good job of doing on that culture war.
01:08:58.800
And then you have, at the very end of his years commenting in public, espousing violence,
01:09:06.500
in exchange with a mysterious figure affiliated with a group that we know is being monitored
01:09:14.640
It turns out that around the same time that Thomas Crooks was making these searches and
01:09:20.800
posting overt threats of violence against public figures on YouTube, the FBI was issuing
01:09:25.920
contracts to private sector tech surveillance firms to harness the power of mass data collection
01:09:31.400
tools that would monitor social media for people just like Thomas Crooks.
01:09:35.440
It's hard to imagine that Thomas Crooks, who was making these posts publicly and in his
01:09:39.200
own name, had not been identified and looked at closely by federal law enforcement.
01:09:44.200
And that's weird, too, because I know the FBI definitely monitors all types of chat rooms
01:09:49.760
and everything else like that, especially for extremists and people espousing violence
01:09:53.880
So I find it very hard that this guy did not come across their radar.
01:10:02.240
I find it very difficult to find, to believe that.
01:10:13.220
Well, we know that the FBI had access to these YouTube comments and rather than giving us valuable
01:10:17.700
information about them, giving us a sense of why Thomas Crooks did what he did, they used
01:10:23.500
a selective read of those comments to lie about what Thomas Crooks was thinking.
01:10:29.440
Two and a half weeks after the attack on July 30th, a source familiar with the investigation
01:10:35.620
told CNN that, quote, federal investigators are looking into a YouTube account possibly
01:10:40.540
connected to Crooks in which the user espoused political violence as well as anti-Semitic
01:10:47.720
Well, of course, it wasn't possibly connected to Thomas Crooks, as the FBI knew full well.
01:10:53.220

01:10:57.160
up and live, you can donate on there as well, my friends, myronGainesX.com.
01:11:01.360
If you guys are watching on YouTube because YouTube, I'm demonetized, you cannot send a
01:11:04.060
Super Chat In through YouTube because YouTube sucks and it fucking blows, worst app ever.
01:11:10.000
You can go ahead and get involved in the show if you're watching on YouTube via myronGainesX.com
01:11:15.860
or you can join the OSS, only a dollar to join, use the code L-YouTube because YouTube
01:11:19.600
is an L and you can go ahead and get involved in the show that way because I know a lot of
01:11:31.100
And yet the same day, the FBI's then deputy director made the same dishonest claim before
01:11:37.800
The week previous, then FBI director Christopher Wray publicly questioned whether Trump was
01:11:42.900
Remember guys, these are all people from the Biden administration, okay?
01:11:46.140
These are people from the Biden administration.
01:11:47.480
These guys are not from the Trump administration, which, you know, has me a bit more concerned
01:11:51.800
because it's like, you would think Kash Patel would come in and be like, all right, time
01:11:56.300
This doesn't happen under our watch, so we're going to get to the bottom of it.
01:12:01.000
With respect to former President Trump, there's some question about whether or not it's...
01:12:08.600
And we're still in 992 likes, but we got like 2,800 you niggas in here.
01:12:17.780
A bullet or shrapnel that, you know, that hit his ear.
01:12:20.380
In February 2025, the New York Post reported that, quote,
01:12:23.900
the FBI has obstructed efforts to solve the mystery of why Thomas Matthew Crooks,
01:12:32.020
And this fact, said the Post, left local law enforcement, as well as Crooks' former friends,
01:12:39.100
The level of lying and obstruction is shocking.
01:12:42.000
Less than a month after the shooting, Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana, a former police officer,
01:12:47.160
traveled to Butler to conduct his own investigation into what happened.
01:12:50.760
When he arrived, he discovered a disturbing fact.
01:12:54.120
The FBI released Crooks' body for cremation 10 days after July 13th.
01:13:00.640
This wasn't known to the public until Higgins arrived in Butler on August 5th,
01:13:07.080
he would never have released Crooks' body to the family for cremation or burial without specific permission from the FBI.
01:13:17.440
The day Crooks' body was burned was also the day the House Homeland Security and Oversight Committees
01:13:23.740
had begun their investigations into the shooting.
01:13:26.480
The fact the body was cremated made it impossible for investigators outside the FBI to verify the coroner and autopsy report.
01:13:37.080
That's absolutely wild that they, um, that's absolutely nuts that they, um, cremated the body so quickly after he died.
01:14:09.780
The FBI released Crooks' body for cremation 10 days after July 13th.
01:14:15.900
This wasn't known to the public until Higgins arrived in Butler.
01:14:20.980
They were on August 5th, when the coroner told the congressman, quote,
01:14:24.640
he would never have released Crooks' body to the family for cremation or burial without specific permission from the FBI.
01:14:42.180
The day Crooks' body was burned was also the day the House Homeland Security and Oversight Committees had begun their investigations into the shooting.
01:14:52.640
The fact the body was cremated made it impossible for investigators outside the FBI to verify the coroner and autopsy report.
01:15:01.100
You can't do a new tox screen because the body doesn't exist.
01:15:06.960
this action by the FBI can only be described by any reasonable man as an obstruction to any following investigative effort.
01:15:14.480
Another notable detail is that photos from the day after the shooting show an FBI agent hosing down the site.
01:15:26.100
High-level intelligence officials and congressional sources told us this is very strange,
01:15:31.240
that the FBI usually hires out crime scene cleanup to third-party contractors.
01:15:36.100
But in this case, they did it themselves, leaving no blood and no tissue for anyone else to analyze.
01:15:44.140
In the photo, the agent's shirt says he's from the Technical Hazards Response Unit.
01:15:48.440
And there's different units in the FBI, guys, that handle, you know, like they got emergency response teams,
01:15:57.040
So this is not unusual for them to have different teams,
01:16:03.120
but this guy cleaning up shortly thereafter is also weird.
01:16:07.480
A unit that collects traditional forensic evidence contaminated with hazardous materials.
01:16:12.140
After the shooting, the FBI sent Crooks' phone to the Bureau's laboratory at Quantico, Virginia.
01:16:16.540
Agents there were able to open it in less than 40 minutes.
01:16:20.840
Now, and the reason why, guys, probably they had to do that is because the phone, right?
01:16:31.080
Whenever you don't have a code for a phone, it's a lot harder to get in there, okay?
01:16:34.340
I remember when I was an agent, we would take people's phones.
01:16:36.200
If you didn't have the code and it wasn't unlocked, it makes it 10 times harder to get in there
01:16:41.140
because you have to attach it to a device called the Cellbrite, which we're going to talk about here in a second.
01:16:46.440
But a Cellbrite is basically a device also made by the Israelis.
01:16:51.180
That basically what it does is it uses a bunch of different sequences of codes on the phone
01:17:02.780
without triggering the 10-limit attempt lock, right?
01:17:09.780
If you have an iPhone, for example, and you try to break in 10 different times
01:17:13.680
and you put in the code in wrong, the phone wipes automatically or automatically locks forever, right?
01:17:17.720
The Cellbrite does it in a way where it does different sequences
01:17:22.520
and tries it without triggering that effect on the phone.
01:17:26.380
Now, this takes a lot of time, right, depending on the model of the phone, et cetera.
01:17:30.360
Typically, the newer the phone, the harder it is to break into.
01:17:32.460
The older the phone, the higher the likelihood.
01:17:34.460
So they were able to get in pretty quickly, 40 minutes is fast.
01:17:43.680
They send it all the way to Quantico, which is like their lab, okay?
01:17:47.720
To be looked at, but they're able to get in there quickly, which is a good thing.
01:17:55.180
And the other reason, too, is because the guy was using encrypted applications.
01:17:58.460
So when you use Telegram or Signal, et cetera, especially if they have erased messages,
01:18:05.460
the only way you're really going to be able to get in there a lot of the times, guys,
01:18:08.180
and like see what they're saying is you have to get into the phone to read the messages, okay?
01:18:13.320
Especially with these encrypted apps like Telegram, et cetera.
01:18:15.220
You need to be able to get in there and actually open up the phone.
01:18:23.840
According to the Post, FBI officials who served under...
01:18:34.220
...phone, computer, and his encrypted messaging apps in Belgium, New Zealand.
01:18:38.920
That is the main software that they use to dump your phone and do an extraction.
01:18:45.180
It's the main thing that law enforcement agencies use.
01:18:49.640
Yet none of the online activity the FBI has discovered was referred to in any way in the
01:18:54.800
final congressional report that was released in December of 2024.
01:18:58.340
By the way, why do we still learn nothing about that guy in Butler?
01:19:05.260
That's why he's wearing sunglasses, by the way.
01:19:08.140
It is nuts to me that this fucking guy was, like, damn near, like, the president number
01:19:17.500
I'll give him credit, though, for opening up X and making it more free speech.
01:19:21.580
Also, just so you guys know, tomorrow at 12 o'clock, we got a big, big fucking video coming
01:20:20.100
And if you guys thought that was heat, here we go for the next one for you guys.
01:20:30.200
We don't just got one banger, we got two bangers coming out.
01:20:32.740
The bottom line is I want you guys to get behind Candace, because I do think that a censorship
01:20:36.560
Not because they believed that what they were hearing was actually anti-Semitism or Jew
01:20:43.840
They need to be afraid of regular Americans like you and me.
01:20:48.680
They're going to use everything in their power to come and censor us.
01:20:51.520
But they declared war against us, and I see that it's coming.
01:20:53.480
You think your stupid little podcast is going to change the world like hell it is, not if
01:20:58.260
I and everybody else have something to say about it.
01:21:00.240
A disturbingly anti-Semitic clip from an extremely popular podcast, Fresh and Fit.
01:21:06.940
On Wednesday, Candace Owens went on an extended anti-Semitic tirade on her show.
01:21:15.040
And so the very moment that I know anything is true, I can't tell a lie.
01:21:19.120
People kept saying that Tyler Robinson text messages sound fake.
01:21:23.180
And again, Candace disbelieves that because she's a lunatic.
01:21:25.820
Nobody is going to emotionally manipulate me and tell me to attack Turning Point would
01:21:32.320
He sat with a ton of visions and was telling me that Turning Point was going to be the
01:21:36.340
And strangely, he knew that I was going to be the only person to defend him.
01:21:44.740
I told you motherfuckers that 2025, we were going to fucking take over.
01:21:48.100
And then going into 2026, we're going to keep fucking cooking.
01:21:57.020
Shout out to Candace Owens for hosting me and letting me, you know, interview her.
01:22:01.780
That interview is going to come out on the 18th, as you guys can see here.
01:22:06.700
So tomorrow, Monday, 12 o'clock, we're going to be dropping the Ohio State debate.
01:22:12.200
I'm going to probably drop a portion of it on my channel.
01:22:14.540
And then the full video is going to be up on Uncensored America, as you guys know.
01:22:19.400
And then the Candace interview is going to be out on Tuesday.
01:22:23.640
And then I might do something else on Tuesday that's huge.
01:22:27.420
I'm still, that's literally why I was on the phone earlier.
01:22:38.820
Tomorrow, we got DeVore Darkins on the fucking show.
01:22:49.520
We are on a, we are going to make a generational run.
01:22:54.060
We're starting to pick up some speed right now.
01:22:55.680
We're going to continue to push hard into 2026.
01:23:18.360
I got 3,000 of you guys watching right now on YouTube alone.
01:23:34.620
If I was a fucking kick streamer, I'd be having like 50K watching right now.
01:23:39.300
These niggas really be, like, 80% of their views are botted on Twitch and on kick.
01:23:47.940
We're like one of the few fucking guys that don't bot on kick.
01:23:51.100
All these other guys are fucking botting, gambling, degenerate fucking losers.
01:24:08.080
We're going to get these Zionists out of power.
01:24:15.620
Well, thought would be answered by the new administration.
01:24:17.880
Within weeks of retaking office, Donald Trump told the New York Post's Miranda Devine
01:24:22.720
that he had, quote, ordered the Secret Service on Friday to provide him every bit of information
01:24:32.180
One, obviously, where you got hit by that bullet in Butler.
01:24:36.740
Yeah, people forgot that, like, someone tried to kill Trump again in September.
01:24:40.940
Who, for those of you also guys that forgot, this guy right here, he got found guilty.
01:24:57.800
In Florida, a jury has returned a guilty verdict in the trial of the man.
01:25:00.940
He had a trial, like, last month, if I'm not mistaken.
01:25:03.820
Accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump on his golf course.
01:25:08.620
Florida jury on Tuesday returned a guilty verdict.
01:25:11.160
This is a guy that hid in the fucking golf course and tried to shoot at Donald Trump.
01:25:15.060
But Secret Service agents found him first and shot at him.
01:25:18.440
And then he took them on a fucking high-speed chase and they caught him up later on.
01:25:30.820
This is two months before the goddamn election, damn near.
01:25:38.700
Ryan Routh was convicted on all five federal charges, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.
01:25:45.700
Christian Benavidez is in Fort Pierce, Florida.
01:25:49.960
He was like a radical leftist that, like, loved Ukraine.
01:26:01.240
After that, after that, Ryan Routh was found guilty on all counts, including, as you mentioned,
01:26:06.700
attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate and also the having a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
01:26:20.380
This was just after the jury had left the courtroom, putting a pen up to his neck, and his daughter witnessing all of this.
01:26:31.240
Yeah, Bro tried to self-delete in the courtroom after the verdict.
01:26:39.400
And, again, quite a dramatic end at this moment is when he was finally taken by the U.S. Marshals that were inside the courtroom.
01:26:49.060
But, again, this was following the jury leaving the courtroom and following that verdict.
01:26:59.980
Remember that Ryan Routh decided to represent himself throughout this entire trial.
01:27:07.740
You know you're going to jail if you're representing yourself.
01:27:11.520
At least that Bundy, you know, at least that Bundy went to some law school.
01:27:23.020
All of this has made the trial go much quicker than initially anticipated.
01:27:29.640
And the jury only deliberated for about two hours before coming back with that verdict.
01:27:35.900
Prosecutors bringing in nearly 40 witnesses and laying out their case.
01:27:41.040
Both their case on the forensics that they had found on the scenes and the digital forensics behind all of this.
01:27:49.940
And this is when they caught him later on up the road.
01:27:54.560
In addition to this, you also had DNA that had been found at the scene.
01:27:59.400
Quite a lot of evidence against Ryan Routh, who once again decided to represent himself and his defense the entire time.
01:28:06.960
Was that essentially his character was not one that was capable of something like this.
01:28:16.240
And in the end, during closing arguments today, the prosecution took the entire hour and 45 minutes that was slaughtered to them.
01:28:24.480
While Ryan Routh only took about 30 minutes going off on tangents, speaking about the First Amendment, the Second Amendment.
01:28:30.580
At one point said that he had plans to buy a boat.
01:28:34.260
Judge Eileen Cannon, at one point, even told the jury to step outside of the courtroom and reminded him to stay on topic.
01:28:50.860
And his attempt to harm himself following that verdict.
01:28:59.280
That we still don't know about that shooter in Butler.
01:29:06.460
We get stonewalled all the time asking questions about it.
01:29:15.620
It's very interesting because we have great people.
01:29:29.100
I'm relying on my people to tell me what it is.
01:29:36.420
And they don't seem interested in finding out more.
01:29:38.480
How come we don't have more information on the assassination attempts on President Trump?
01:29:52.280
What do prosecutions have to do with Thomas Crooks?
01:29:59.580
And then you guys said that he had no other co-conspirators.
01:30:02.760
We have personally invested our time in making sure that we have looked at all the, any possible
01:30:10.100
international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike.
01:30:19.080
We've both seen the firearm and physically held it.
01:30:23.200
Are we going to be surprised at what you learned?
01:30:32.040
We've been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case.
01:30:41.300
So out of respect for the case, it's probably more appropriate that I stay quiet on that.
01:30:54.280
If it's in court, that means it's by definition public.
01:30:57.480
On the case, it's probably more appropriate that one is actively in court right now.
01:31:01.900
Okay, if it's actively in court, then that means it is by definition public.
01:31:11.500
Out of respect for the case, it's probably more appropriate that I stay quiet on that.
01:31:16.080
However, I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear.
01:31:22.520
If there was a big explosive there, there, right?
01:31:26.260
Given my history as a Secret Service agent and my personal friendship as a director does
01:31:31.620
with the president, give me one logical, sensible reason we would not have.
01:31:39.960
In some of these cases, the there you're looking for is not there.
01:32:07.180
That shot placement has to be absolutely precise.
01:32:10.540
It is exactly what these counter snipers trained to do.
01:32:14.480
But this was the first time in history, according to a former senior agent,
01:32:19.020
that a Secret Service sniper killed a would-be assassin.
01:32:26.260
In the moments leading up to the deadly shooting, you can see those two counter snipers scanning
01:32:31.580
for threats in their positions on the rooftop behind former President Trump.
01:32:36.340
Their high-powered rifles appear to be pointed in the direction of the gunman's position
01:32:57.400
The sniper appears momentarily startled by the gunfire, his face leaving the scope,
01:33:03.380
but then quickly recovering and taking out the would-be assassin.
01:33:07.880
There's no room for error, so that shot placement has to be absolutely precise.
01:33:14.580
Authorities saying this is the lifeless body of the shooter on the roof of that...
01:33:25.100
According to a former agent, Secret Service counter-sniper teams should have scoped out
01:33:30.600
and advanced all those areas where there were potential threats beforehand
01:33:34.600
and known what the line of sight to Trump could be.
01:33:40.720
The fact that somebody was able to get within 200 yards with a rifle
01:33:44.960
and be on an exposed rooftop, be seen by other people there,
01:33:49.720
be seen by where it should have been cameras and drones and many other things in place.
01:33:56.960
That shooter with that rifle should have never been that close
01:33:59.660
to the former president of the United States at a venue like this.
01:34:02.800
So let's bring in Martha Raddatz on that point tonight.
01:34:05.240
And Martha, you said it would be up to a Secret Service sniper team
01:34:09.060
...aim and fire-off rounds that were acted with a rifle, get in position...
01:34:13.420
So he looks up, he sees the shots, looks up, goes back in.
01:34:20.240
Then he took a couple of shots, and you can see the gun pushing back
01:34:23.880
...fire-off rounds that were accurate enough to come very close
01:34:30.200
And Martha, you've covered so many of these political rallies yourself.
01:34:37.720
...gunfire erupted at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump...
01:34:48.000
We see the agent on the roof pick his head up just before shots...
01:34:57.880
Secret Service agents rush to pull Trump to the ground.
01:35:03.720
As they rush him from the stage, blood can be seen on the bleachers behind where Trump was speaking.
01:35:21.780
A spectator was killed, and two more were critically injured at the event.
01:35:27.720
His name was Corey Kompatour, a firefighter. Recipes to him.
01:35:36.840
You can see I'm bleeding from the head right here.
01:35:42.880
The suspected gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot and killed.
01:35:51.100
And by the way, they weren't misspeaking. This wasn't an accident.
01:35:53.860
We know that because the director of the FBI said the same thing once again under oath in front of Congress in September.
01:36:01.980
When your president was sat right there in that seat a couple years ago, last year in a committee hearing,
01:36:06.040
I asked a very detailed question about Matthew Thomas Crooks,
01:36:08.820
the shooter responsible for the assassination attempt on President Trump's life.
01:36:15.660
and I submitted written questions to the FBI and into the record of this committee.
01:36:19.960
And I want to resubmit those questions today because I think we are still awaiting answers to those questions.
01:36:26.380
So, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to submit some for the record, please.
01:36:29.540
I'd like to ask you, sir, and the FBI, under your leadership,
01:36:32.700
would you please respond to these questions and can you commit to doing that?
01:36:49.960
But if it's true that there's nothing here, then the FBI has a very strange way of showing it.
01:36:55.180
In July of 2024, a bipartisan group of senators led by Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin
01:37:00.540
sent a letter, quote, requesting records related to the July 13th, 2024 assassination attempt.
01:37:06.580
Fully a year later, the FBI still had not responded.
01:37:11.540
This summer, Senator Johnson issued a new subpoena,
01:37:14.820
noting that, quote, nearly a year after the assassination attempt
01:37:17.840
and the initiation of the subcommittee's investigation,
01:37:20.780
the FBI has repeatedly failed to produce the subcommittee records and information
01:37:26.620
In the subpoena, they demanded pictures and images related to the assassination,
01:37:30.520
video footage, forensic reports, records related to FBI interviews,
01:37:34.980
and notably, all records referring or relating to any of Thomas Crookes' electronic devices,
01:37:41.120
digital or financial accounts, or online search history.
01:37:58.320
A person with a modern rifle, modern scoped rifle at 130 yards,
01:38:02.340
who shot at the former commander-in-chief of the United States,
01:38:04.880
and a guy who was going to be, by all accounts at that point,
01:38:09.480
And then they tried to kill my father eight weeks later, you know,
01:38:12.000
at his golf course in Palm Beach County, a golf course that I run every single day.
01:38:15.580
I am totally unsatisfied that we have one picture of that shooter.
01:38:18.980
The guy looks like he was 14 years old in the picture.
01:38:27.200
and I think a lot of America is unsatisfied with the result,
01:38:29.260
and I think we'd better get to the bottom of exactly what happened.
01:38:34.660
that you believe that Eric Trump believes resulted in the assassination attempt?
01:38:40.860
because they did not want his voice on that stage.
01:38:47.360
Unfortunately, the reality is that the FBI, as of today,
01:38:52.920
but is actively preventing an honest look at what happened in Butler.
01:38:57.940
FBI agents collected all the relevant surveillance footage.
01:39:04.960
and critically, the gun range where Thomas Cooks trained.
01:39:24.620
because I don't think some of you guys understand
01:39:58.620
were seated in front of him and behind on risers.
01:40:02.020
Secret Service sniper teams can be seen positioned
01:40:55.860
...to screen displaying border-crossing numbers.
01:41:03.760
Secret Service agents pile atop the former president.
01:41:13.540
a Secret Service sniper fired back with one shot,
01:41:29.240
Cory Comparator, a 50-year-old former firefighter,
01:41:42.180
stopping to pump his fist and yell to the crowd.
01:41:57.460
Several people in the crowd notice a man with a gun
01:42:30.580
The gunman is 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
01:42:33.640
He is armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.
01:42:39.780
First, he apparently fires a round of three shots.
01:42:48.720
The first bullet pierces the upper part of his right ear.
01:42:55.120
He will later say that turning over to the right
01:42:58.120
prevented the bullet from hitting him right in the head.
01:43:01.500
Because you can look at that immigration chart.
01:43:04.780
and within three to four seconds after the first shot,
01:43:07.640
Secret Service agents swarm the former president
01:43:20.900
one of the snipers on the left roof behind Trump
01:43:27.460
Some outlets report that these snipers killed Crooks,
01:43:38.560
The gunman also hit spectators on the bleachers.
01:43:48.040
we can hear the tense exchanges among the agents.
01:44:09.540
They prepare to escort him to an armored vehicle.
01:44:35.980
In about 75 seconds after ducking to the ground,
01:44:58.060
The crowd starts to chant for the former president.
01:45:03.600
I remember I jumped on stream when this shit happened.
01:45:32.760
That's how close the fucking bullet came, Chad.
01:45:41.480
Shout out to Farm Fatal for giving me that link.
01:45:58.920
They confirmed the existence of one gaming account.
01:46:17.760
I need you guys to smash that fucking like button on YouTube.
01:46:38.680
TV Pharmaceuticals owned by them boys, of course.
01:46:43.080
what is with the Tate's gambling deal with Duel?
01:46:50.200
Hey, Martin, are you aware that Israel has a software
01:46:57.300
for anything they want to know about your search history?
01:47:13.160
Palantir can analyze the phone data once it's extracted,
01:47:16.300
but Cellbrite is exclusively for extracting the data.
01:47:23.920
Seems like they're all covering things up on both sides.
01:47:26.960
Would it be legal for D&I to release classified files?
01:47:29.020
Example, Tulsi Gabbard releasing the high slide I've seen files.
01:47:31.660
You said those are the files we wanted to see, right?
01:47:34.920
She would need authorization from Trump, though.
01:47:41.480
You think there are FBI currently monitoring this chat?
01:48:00.640
In addition to pro-black degenerate rap culture,
01:48:04.620
but worst of all, he wears tacky, expensive designer clothes
01:48:12.200
There's no way he's going to platform someone like me on there.
01:48:14.320
I'd have to reach a level of fame that he can no longer deny,
01:48:38.780
the social media companies that hosted Crooks' comments
01:48:50.820
What we do know is that on the day of the attacks,
01:48:53.080
Thomas Crooks got extremely lucky, miraculously lucky.
01:48:58.000
After he arrived at the Butler County Fairgrounds
01:49:01.520
Thomas Crooks conducted surveillance by flying his drone.
01:49:05.540
And that's absolutely nuts that he was able to fly his drone
01:49:10.180
Over the rally site, he flew that drone for 11 minutes.
01:49:14.080
It just so happened that the Secret Service's anti-drone system
01:49:21.440
Later that afternoon, police officers saw Crooks
01:49:37.580
That happened to be the only building in the area
01:49:46.220
outside the Secret Service's security perimeter,
01:49:48.820
despite the fact it was very close to the stage.
01:49:51.880
Two local police officers assigned to the building saw Crooks,
01:49:56.440
A third officer, who was supposed to be there, left early.
01:49:59.880
At 6.11 p.m., Crooks opened fire from the rooftop.
01:50:10.460
and its total unwillingness to explain what had happened,
01:50:17.720
On ABC, we learned that this happened because...
01:50:59.940
Obviously, there's a lot of holes in this situation
01:51:07.080
I'm not disputing alternative narratives at all.
01:51:25.860
While I wait for you guys to get to that 2,000,
01:51:55.960
They don't want you to hear what I have to say.
01:52:30.880
We're able to go ahead and interact with each other
01:52:41.420
You'll also get access to exclusive live streams
01:53:42.460
And I do think that we might have a promo code.
01:53:57.280
We have a bunch of other fire-ass merch as well.
01:54:09.840
I'm going to wear this shit when I'm up in, when I'm out there.
01:54:14.300
Because I'm going to be, I was freezing my ass off in Ohio.
01:54:16.120
And I realized, yo, Brett, we need fucking beanies, bro.
01:54:27.060
And then we got, obviously, the Real Niggas Recognize Real Niggas, which I got on right now, by the way.
01:54:31.120
Shout out to my guy, Hayden, over from Woman Propaganda.
01:55:11.360
I know it's a crazy statement here, but I'm a j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j.
01:55:13.860
I don't really get what purpose I'm doing them.
01:55:16.400
When it comes to like the Roman salute or whatever, aka this, the reality is, is that I think that nothing should be off the table when it comes to speech.
01:55:25.100
Sometimes you have to push the edges of speech to ensure that we protect speech and be able to have discussion.
01:55:34.560
And then, of course, we got the banger with Candace coming out on Tuesday, okay?
01:55:46.400
And I've already seen people fucking bitching on Twitter that me and Candace did this collab.
01:55:52.460
The bottom line is I want you guys to get behind Candace because I do think that a censorship hammer is coming.
01:55:56.120
Not because they believed that what they were hearing was actually anti-Semitism or Jew-hating, but to basically silence people.
01:56:03.680
They need to be afraid of regular Americans like you and me.
01:56:10.820
They're going to use everything in their power to come and censor us, but they declared war against us and I see that it's coming.
01:56:15.380
You think your stupid little podcast is going to change the world?
01:56:21.240
Not if I and everybody else have something to say about it.
01:56:23.560
A disturbingly anti-Semitic clip from an extremely popular...
01:56:31.680
On Wednesday, Candace Owens went on an extended anti-Semitic tirade on her show.
01:56:39.760
And so the very moment that I know anything is true, I can't tell a lie.
01:56:43.780
People kept saying the Tyler Robinson text messages sound fake.
01:56:47.960
And again, Candace disbelieves that because she's a lunatic.
01:56:50.560
Nobody is going to emotionally manipulate me and tell me to attack Turning Point would be to attack his legacy.
01:56:57.060
He was having a ton of visions and was telling me that Turning Point was going to be after him.
01:57:00.160
He knew he was going to die young and strangely knew that I was going to be the only person to defend him.
01:57:09.820
We got some bangers coming out for you guys, man.
01:57:13.780
We are on a generational run and we're taking over, niggas.
01:57:23.440
If I ever do Tucker, they're going to lose their fucking minds.
01:57:28.580
When I drop that one, they're going to go wild.
01:57:30.200
If we ever do Tucker, the internet's going to break.
01:57:44.060
And within days of the shooting, U.S. intelligence officials started leaking about a supposed plot by the Iranian government to kill Trump.
01:57:52.180
There was never any evidence that if you were planning a regime-change war against Iran, you might claim otherwise.
01:57:59.340
Let me read to you this breaking news that we are reporting from three U.S. officials who have been briefed on the matter.
01:58:05.880
The U.S. obtained intelligence in recent weeks about an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump.
01:58:11.540
The stonewalling, the lying, the persistent unwillingness to explain anything, all of it makes you wonder, what are they hiding?
01:58:21.820
If the leadership of the FBI and the DOJ had any desire whatsoever to prove to the public that there is, in fact, nothing there, they could do that.
01:58:31.180
Vizzeron 92, thank you so much for the gift that's up, my friend.
01:58:34.720
But first, they would have to answer these questions.
01:58:37.340
Was Thomas Crooks known to federal law enforcement before the shooting?
01:58:40.980
They had to have known him, bro. They had to have.
01:58:43.320
Known to local law enforcement before the shooting.
01:58:56.220
Is Willie Tepes linked to any violent organizations?
01:59:00.800
And if so, then around the time of the shooting, did the FBI have assets inside those organizations?
01:59:06.080
If Crooks wasn't known to anyone in authority before the shooting, how was he able to post hundreds of violent extremist comments under his real name between 2019 and 2020 without being detected by law enforcement or intel agencies at a time we know they were monitoring social media?
01:59:23.300
Were those comments, including specific assassination threats against specific public officials, ever reported to YouTube?
01:59:34.940
Why is the FBI telling us that they'll release this information, quote, after the trial, when there is no trial?
01:59:42.440
At least one that we're not aware of, because the main suspect was killed, and then they said that there was no co-conspirators.
01:59:49.680
So it doesn't make sense that there would be a trial or a case linked to Crooks when they literally said he had no conspirators and he acted alone.
01:59:58.520
If he acted alone, that means that there's no other conspirators and there shouldn't be any other trial.
02:00:05.360
Why did an FBI agent from the Technical Hazards Response Unit...
02:00:08.800
As usual, the FBI creates more questions than answers.
02:00:11.220
Hose down the crime scene the day after the attack.
02:00:16.240
What happened on the roof of the American Glass Research Building for the 10 seconds after Crooks' last shot until he was killed by the Secret Service?
02:00:25.340
Does the FBI have surveillance footage of Thomas Crooks' shooting that day?
02:00:29.440
Was the FBI present at the medical examiner's autopsy?
02:00:37.800
When Congress demanded the autopsy, did the FBI restrict what the examiner could tell the Congress?
02:00:46.820
...cleared the corner to release Crooks' body for cremation, did they keep tissue samples, brain tissue samples, spinal cord samples, or spinal fluid samples?
02:00:55.880
Law enforcement sources told us that in a typical investigation in a crime of this nature, it would be normal to preserve all of that, those samples.
02:01:08.040
And who made that decision to destroy what could be critical evidence in an attempted murder case?
02:01:13.720
FBI agents went to the same gun range that Thomas Crooks was using.
02:01:17.880
Who were those agents, and did any of them at any time have any contact with Thomas Crooks?
02:01:23.220
Who did he train with exactly, and why can't we know?
02:01:26.380
Was Thomas Crooks taking drugs that might have turned up on the toxicology report, but that weren't listed somehow?
02:01:33.520
On what date specifically did FBI agents stop investigating Thomas Crooks' online presence?
02:01:39.060
Why did the former deputy director of the FBI, Paula Bates...
02:01:45.620
...suggest to Congress that Crooks was a right-winger, when he clearly wasn't.
02:01:50.120
Was the FBI aware of Crooks' public comments before the shooting, many of which are openly violent, that included specific assassinations?
02:02:00.120
I don't give a fuck what your political ideology is.
02:02:03.000
You're not gonna fucking, you know, threaten to kill our politicians, dude.
02:02:09.940
She was out Europe somewhere, in NATO, and somebody said something disrespectful about Donald Trump, and she said,
02:02:15.180
you're not gonna disrespect our president in front of us, right?
02:02:17.980
So, regardless of our, you know, political disagreements here domestically,
02:02:22.900
we are still one country, and we must defend one another, regardless of political ideology.
02:02:32.420
Who has no incentive, really, to tell, to say anything that would benefit Ilhan Omar,
02:02:39.020
But I give her a lot of respect for that, where even though she doesn't like Donald Trump,
02:02:43.840
and they said horrible things about each other, when a foreign national went ahead and said something negative about Trump,
02:02:50.180
she said, you're not gonna talk shit about our fucking president, okay?
02:02:53.620
You're not gonna disrespect him in front of me.
02:02:55.880
So, shout out to him, a shout out to her, excuse me, for standing up for the president.
02:03:03.480
It's actually very true, because Luna has no fucking reason to say that at all, okay?
02:03:12.980
She's a Republican, and her and Ilhan Omar do not really like each other.
02:03:19.440
Who was Thomas Crooks in communication with in the days before the attack?
02:03:25.400
And in fact, why did he have a burner phone and encrypted foreign email accounts?
02:03:29.660
Who are the government officials trying to link Iran to the shooting?
02:03:33.620
Why did the FBI suggest that he had no digital footprint in the first place,
02:03:37.760
when the FBI had a great deal of evidence, hundreds and hundreds of comments, from his digital activity?
02:03:56.040
The problem with the internet a lot of the times is we get like,
02:03:58.680
brain-dead fucking idiots that everything is a lie,
02:04:04.700
everything is a conspiracy theory, everything is tinfoil hats.
02:04:11.200
There's nothing wrong with critical thinking skills,
02:04:22.580
Like, it's not even like intelligent discourse.
02:04:25.740
Like, max fucking stupidity to just troll and degrade the quality of the fucking conversation,
02:04:37.420
Other dozen accounts that the FBI clearly had access to.
02:04:41.600
How long had Thomas Crooks been planning to commit an assassination?
02:04:47.440
And it's always retarded niggas from YouTube chat, too.
02:04:51.400
If I tell you this is just a lone nut who gave no indication he might do this,
02:04:56.240
then what is stopping the FBI from at least giving the facts to Congress?
02:05:02.820
This active investigation, allegedly, which is a whole bunch of bullshit, too.
02:05:06.560
If there's nothing there, these should be very easy questions to answer.
02:05:31.760
your boy Cash Patel went on full damage control mode.
02:05:36.060
Over 480 FBI employees were involved in the Thomas Crooks investigation.
02:05:40.920
Employees conducted over 1,000 interviews, addressed over 2,000 public tips,
02:05:44.440
analyzed data extracted from 13 seized digital devices,
02:05:50.200
collected, processed, and synchronized hundreds of hours of video footage,
02:05:54.020
analyzed financial activity from 10 different accounts,
02:05:56.260
and examined data associated with 25 social media or online forum accounts.
02:06:00.380
The FBI's investigation into Thomas Crooks identified and examined over 20 online accounts,
02:06:05.440
data extracted from over a dozen electronic devices,
02:06:11.300
and over 1,000 interviews and 2,000 public tips.
02:06:14.340
The investigation, conducted by over 480 FBI employees,
02:06:17.540
revealed Crooks had limited online and in-person interactions.
02:06:21.280
Planet conducted the attack alone and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.
02:06:25.480
Okay, Cash, if that is true, then why the fuck are we waiting for a case to finish to get the facts?
02:06:40.160
If there is indeed another case that we must wait to come to fruition, right,
02:06:49.480
then that by definition means someone was linked to Crooks,
02:06:56.060
whether known or unknown, and was a co-conspirator,
02:06:58.720
hence why you don't want to reveal what's going on.
02:07:03.780
If he acted alone, why are we waiting for some other case
02:07:09.740
to have a disposition that we don't even know about, by the way?
02:07:17.940
And I can see why the American public is so distrusting of the FBI,
02:07:21.960
especially when this happened during another administration.
02:07:27.040
Keep in mind, guys, Cash Patel was not the FBI director when this happened back in July of 2024.
02:07:34.340
He became director in February of 2025, this year.
02:08:23.580
And we still don't know what the fuck is going on.
