Hey, on today's podcast, I have a lot to say about yesterday's assassination attempt on
00:00:05.240
Donald Trump. The second one now, what led this guy to take his actions? What did he know? How
00:00:12.060
did he know it? What are his motives? We go through all of it. Plus, Eric Prince joins me
00:00:16.140
on the program. He called for Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida to take the lead on the
00:00:20.400
investigation. Why? Well, Steve Friend is also talking about the loads of more good news regarding
00:00:28.920
the FBI special agent in charge of that investigation. Make sure you hear the entire
00:00:33.800
show. You can download that to get Steve Friend and everything else that happened on the program.
00:00:38.720
It's all on the best of the Glenn Beck podcast, and it starts now in one minute.
00:00:44.620
We're living at a moment in our history where, you know, going to the grocery store is a major
00:00:50.040
financial decision. Just wait until all of this kicks in. With that in mind, how terrifying of
00:00:56.080
a prospect is buying or selling a home right now. In this market, you could get ruined by the wrong
00:01:02.360
moves. That's why you need help from somebody who really knows the business inside and out and
00:01:07.700
knows the best practices and is a decent human being. There's a great difference with a great
00:01:15.880
real estate agent, and that's who we will put you in touch with. My company, they started about 10
00:01:21.300
years ago, is realestateagentsitrust.com. The name says it all. If you're looking for a real estate
00:01:26.820
agent to either buy or sell a house in the same market across the street or across the country,
00:01:32.360
we have the names for you. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Go there now. Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:01:40.540
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:53.340
Well, we all remember where we were when they tried to kill the president the second time.
00:02:02.200
Here's an idea. What do you say we just go to the ballot box? What do you say? We're 50 days away?
00:02:07.340
Can we take the next seven weeks and not try to assassinate somebody in this country?
00:02:12.900
You want to talk about a banana republic? Gang, we're here.
00:02:19.280
I will tell you, I'm not doing the show today that I had planned because I was meeting with
00:02:28.840
the president on Saturday, and he said something offhanded to me, and I was going in a direction
00:02:33.940
of research on something, and he said, Glenn, I think there is something that is bigger than the
00:02:41.960
economy right now, and he said the economy, we're killing them on the economy. He said they have
00:02:48.140
no place to go on the economy. They have no record on the economy. He said, but what's happening now
00:02:53.660
in our cities and what's happening in Ohio and elsewhere in Denver, he said, I think this is
00:03:01.680
actually a bigger thing than the economy, and he is absolutely right. If you know some of the things
00:03:08.960
that we've been doing research on, Chris Ruffo has already done his research on this. This is something
00:03:15.660
that they've known about. Well, I'll get into it, not today. We'll probably get into it maybe a little
00:03:21.080
bit more tomorrow, but today I've got to talk to you about a would-be assassin. Now, this one seems to
00:03:29.120
be miraculous. God saved, I believe, it was a miracle that Donald Trump turned his head and that bullet
00:03:42.340
missed him and only nicked his ear instead of going right into the center of his head and us, all of us,
00:03:48.900
having clear, clear, high-definition evidence of the president's head exploding live. So I think God
00:04:00.240
saved him from the last one. God may have saved him from this one as well, but this one was a miracle
00:04:09.900
in the darkest of ways as well. First, let me tell you what happened.
00:04:20.440
Early reports said that police recovered an AK-47 from the bushes outside of the golf course where
00:04:29.080
the president was golfing, as well as a GoPro recording device. Now, why would you have a GoPro
00:04:37.980
recording device? Why would you have it attached to the fence pointing out at the putting green?
00:04:46.660
Why would you have that? Unless you were planning on recording it so your deeds would live forever.
00:04:55.800
Now, my question is, is there anything else already recorded on the GoPro?
00:05:02.520
Is there maybe a statement? Because why would you record your deeds without recording a message
00:05:12.680
for all to hear? So I'd like to know what was on the GoPro, if anything. But this guy obviously had
00:05:20.940
an agenda. Now, he, according to the press, he was all wound up because of Trump's rhetoric.
00:05:28.540
Was he now? We'll get to that in a second. So they caught him after he was in the bushes and a
00:05:37.860
Secret Service agent was eagle-eyed enough to spot a barrel of a gun coming out from the bushes.
00:05:46.600
This guy had taken two backpacks and tied them to the fence. And they were on each side of where he
00:05:56.580
would have been sitting. And the barrel of the gun would have been right between them. Now,
00:06:02.260
it's really curious. I mean, I know the media, you know, they're so smart. They know what everything
00:06:08.340
means. They reported that he had ceramic tiles in his backpack. And I immediately thought, I thought he
00:06:17.120
was a roofer, not somebody that was going to lay tile in bathrooms. No. Could they explain what ceramic
00:06:26.100
tiles mean? I know because I've had to wear them from time to time. A ceramic tile is what you put
00:06:34.780
inside of the bulletproof vest if you were expecting a chest shot. A bulletproof vest will not stop a
00:06:44.720
high-powered rifle. However, ceramic tile will. So he put ceramic tile in his backpacks right where
00:06:55.200
he would have been crouched with the gun. So he was expecting a shootout. Okay.
00:07:03.860
How did this Secret Service agent see it? I don't know. But I want to believe and take it at face value
00:07:11.340
that he was doing his job. The reason why I say this time I believe it,
00:07:18.840
at least this time I want to believe that that agent was doing his job, is because I was with the
00:07:27.880
president on Saturday. And I said on X, and I don't know where else I said it on Saturday,
00:07:36.700
this is the very first time I have seen the Secret Service in 15 years actually do their job.
00:07:45.600
I have sat behind Mitt Romney, passed the Secret Service with the guy next to me and a gun in his back.
00:07:57.960
They missed it. I have come through security doors that were supposed to be secure and went past all of
00:08:07.840
the Secret Service passage. All of their security went behind them, around them, and walked right
00:08:17.740
directly to the president. Now, if I can do that, who can't? And I've been railing about this
00:08:26.220
for 15 years. For Saturday was the first time I thought Secret Service was taking it seriously.
00:08:36.120
There was no way you were getting into the event that I was in unless you were an invited guest
00:08:42.440
or you were supposed to be there. And there was no way you were getting close to the president.
00:08:49.500
So what happened? Well, I want to believe that I want to believe that the Secret Service was doing
00:09:03.440
their job. They were two holes, one or two holes ahead of the president. And he was scoping it out.
00:09:11.400
And he looks and he sees the barrel of a gun coming through the bushes. There is then a shootout.
00:09:17.980
Apparently, they were shooting at each other. They were not shooting at the president. I don't know
00:09:25.840
because things are still unclear. The reason why we caught him is because somebody saw him run out
00:09:33.580
of the bushes and then get into his car. Somebody with wherewithal to write down the plate number and
00:09:40.540
be able to remember what the car was. They called police immediately, said, here's the plate number.
00:09:45.180
Here's what the car looks like. And because we have new AI all over the freeways, all over all of our
00:09:51.920
roads, it could read license plate numbers, identify the car, and they found him almost immediately,
00:10:00.440
So now, now what? Well, who is he? Well, the first person, as soon as the name was released,
00:10:12.620
the Guardian was the first place to actually find his son. His son is, was, I believe, in Florida.
00:10:35.620
They called him. He picked up the phone. He hadn't heard the news.
00:10:40.320
And they, he was asked for a comment. And he said this, well, this is the first
00:10:43.880
I've heard about it. Was my father shot or injured?
00:10:46.440
He then said his father hates Donald Trump as, quote, every reasonable person does.
00:10:56.340
Hmm. Okay. All right. He said, I don't like Trump either. Now, this is just, this is his immediate
00:11:03.180
response after hearing that his father tried to kill the president. He then says, well, he hates him
00:11:10.620
just like every reasonable person. And I hate him too. Oh, okay. But he said his dad was not a violent
00:11:17.360
person and couldn't believe his father would target the president. He's my dad. And all that he's had
00:11:24.180
is a couple of traffic tickets. As far as I know, that's crazy. I know my dad. I love my dad. And
00:11:30.080
that's nothing like him. Is it, is it really nothing like him? You know, your dad. Hmm. Hmm. Okay.
00:11:37.760
Now he said, uh, I've got to go because I have to get more information, but I don't know anymore
00:11:44.060
because we had a falling out. We've grown apart. Okay. But he's not a violent person. He's a hard
00:11:49.760
worker. He's a great dad. He's a great dude. He's a nice guy who worked his whole effing life.
00:11:54.700
I've never known him to even own a gun or known him to do anything like this. Okay. Well, I don't
00:12:00.800
think you know your dad. I don't think you know your dad because your dad, uh, seeming, uh, is the
00:12:07.120
evidence seems to point that it was the same guy with the same name in the same state that,
00:12:14.280
uh, barricaded himself into his office with a gun and, uh, and that gun, well, the FBI said
00:12:22.220
it was a weapon of mass destruction. It was a fully automatic, uh, machine gun.
00:12:27.960
So he went to prison or I'm sorry, went to jail. He was convicted of having a weapon of
00:12:37.840
mass destruction. Now, wow. That seems like that should have been a long sentence, but it
00:12:42.800
wasn't, it wasn't. And if you are, if you're caught with an automatic weapon and you don't
00:12:50.880
have a, uh, stamp for it, a tag for it, well, then you are, you'll go to prison usually 20
00:12:56.840
years. I don't know why he didn't go to jail for 20 years, but he didn't. And then he got
00:13:02.460
out. Now, remember his dad is just a very peaceful person. Then he got out, uh, and, uh, started
00:13:08.860
to recruit people to go to Ukraine, to fight in Ukraine. Now this is where it gets really
00:13:17.480
interesting, by the way, after he, the son did verify that, yep, that is his dad. Uh,
00:13:24.320
he, he made a public statement. He said, I hate this game every four years. And I think
00:13:31.240
we all do. And if my father wants to be a martyr, uh, to how broken and disassociated
00:13:37.220
the process has become from the real problems and plaque practical solutions, then that's
00:13:42.260
his choice. So, gee, that sounds like you're excusing your dad's actions. I'm not saying
00:13:49.060
that what he's done or what he's about, that's just my own rant about being fed up with all
00:13:54.420
of it for my entire adult life. South Park said it best. Every four years, we're forced
00:13:59.080
to choose between a turd sandwich and a giant douche. Uh, and that, and it all stays effed in
00:14:05.520
the same ways by different degrees and we're exhausted and embarrassed by it all.
00:14:12.060
So the ends justify the means is what I'm hearing here. Well, thank you for stopping by Saul Alinsky,
00:14:18.720
but let me get back to the story of who this guy is because I have Eric Prince coming up in about
00:14:24.900
half an hour. He's the guy who said to Ron DeSantis, you should take this, uh, investigation
00:14:29.860
in-house, uh, because I don't think you should just trust the FBI on it. And thank you, Eric.
00:14:38.000
Neither do I first tell you about relief factor. Keith wrote in about his experience with relief
00:14:44.560
factory. He says, I'm 51 years old. I've always been extremely active while back. Things started
00:14:49.360
to change. My body felt like I was basically wearing out. I heard about relief factor on the radio. So I
00:14:55.360
gave it a try. I have little to no pain in my knees right now, and it is highly reduced the pain in my
00:15:01.980
neck. Only firing stew would do that for me, Keith. It's great news that you are feeling better. Relief
00:15:09.360
factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the
00:15:14.420
source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease as well. It's a hundred percent
00:15:18.540
drug-free developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain. And over a million people have tried
00:15:23.040
relief factors quick start kit and 70% of them go on to order more again and again. Stop masking your
00:15:29.580
pain. Start fighting back naturally. Give your, uh, your body a chance with relief factor. Try it right
00:15:37.520
now. They have a three week quick start. It's only $19.95. It's less than a dollar a day. Try it for
00:15:42.900
three weeks. If you see no changes, stop taking it. It probably won't work for you, but take it as
00:15:48.140
directed for three weeks. Visit relieffactor.com. Call 800, the number four relief, 800, the number
00:15:54.520
four relief. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want
00:16:01.620
to thank you for listening. So yesterday, Ron DeSantis said he was going to conduct the investigation on the
00:16:10.140
second attempt on Trump's life. It may have been prompted, I think it was, by Eric Prince, who
00:16:15.780
yesterday said, uh, said, please do not let the FBI be the only one to investigate this. Tell the
00:16:24.460
FBI to stand in line. Florida needs to cover this and really look into everything first. Welcome to
00:16:31.040
the program, Eric Prince. Good morning, Glenn. How are you? Uh, you know, I've been better. I've been
00:16:37.100
better. Um, I, I wish that your words, uh, what, almost two months ago, uh, you know, did,
00:16:44.700
didn't come true, but I think you're right. And I think that explains the GoPro, uh, that was
00:16:51.480
connected to the, uh, connected to the, the fence. Obviously he wanted everybody to see exactly what
00:16:58.220
he had done so he could get the praise for it. Um, yeah, he was, he, that, that psycho was trophy
00:17:04.720
hunting. Yes, he was. He was. So let me ask you a couple of questions here. First of all,
00:17:10.920
um, his, his record doesn't seem to make an awful lot of sense. The New York times semaphore, uh,
00:17:18.920
newsweek had all interviewed this guy and, and said that, or at least wrote the article in a way that
00:17:25.860
presented him as a, a legitimate guy trying to wrangle an army for Ukraine. You don't just do
00:17:35.280
that if you're a roofer, do you, Eric? Um, I think he, for the, the talk of him having joined some
00:17:44.920
Ukraine legion, I also understand he was rejected as having no experience and no skills. Uh, the guy
00:17:52.120
seemed to be a true radicalized product of leftist social media and leftist propaganda.
00:17:59.300
And, you know, my concern, why I wrote those other things is when the left opens the door
00:18:07.560
and calls Trump Hitler, that activates every, every crazy on their side to say, well,
00:18:17.440
I'm against Hitler in any, in all means are on the table to stop Hitler. And so for the left,
00:18:25.180
they can have their plausible deniability while actually now they've actuated to crazies to try
00:18:33.200
to kill the president. Um, so, so my question though, to you, Eric is, um, the New York times,
00:18:40.940
uh, Newsweek, they made him into look like a credible guy doing these things. Now, was that just
00:18:49.640
because they were the arm of the federal government, um, and, and whipping people up with propaganda to
00:18:55.900
show that, you know, people are coming from all over the world and look at this guy, he's doing this
00:19:00.100
when they knew he wasn't really sincere, uh, or, uh, are they, uh, or were they lying then? Are they lying
00:19:10.140
now on who he was? I, I, I, I don't know what to believe since yesterday I've asked around and
00:19:18.060
people had heard the names, uh, his name around the time of the Afghan evacuation. And this,
00:19:23.840
this scheme he was trying to pull by taking Afghans out of Iran, getting them some kind of, uh, bogus
00:19:32.520
passports and getting them to Ukraine, but that, um, people have been warned off against affiliating
00:19:39.600
with him because he was crazy. Okay. All right. Well, that explains his, uh, tweet to Elon Musk where
00:19:46.980
he asked to buy a missile. Um, but, uh, so this is just a guy that you think was wound up by the
00:19:55.280
media. Any idea how, I mean, he seems very, very lucky. Any idea how he knew the president would be
00:20:03.180
at Mar-a-Lago and that he would be golfing when CNN verified today that the president, uh, this,
00:20:10.980
this was a last minute addition to go golfing. Yeah. And that's why I insisted. I, here's the
00:20:17.900
thing. The, the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt has been memory hold by the media and the
00:20:23.760
left. And there's been, there's been no information about any of this kid's contacts over the last six
00:20:32.400
months or six years. How did he get radicalized about any, any foreign bank accounts or any of that
00:20:40.480
stuff? Nothing, none of the FBI at all. And to think that this, the Miami office of the FBI,
00:20:48.000
the same office that raided Mar-a-Lago on a bogus documents case where the new special agent in
00:20:55.120
charge whistleblower said that the FBI told him to delete his social media history because it was so
00:21:01.640
virulently anti-Trump. If we think that FBI office is going to do an honest job of investigating,
00:21:08.160
I have severe doubts. So for me, and this, this speaks to the bigger problem of America.
00:21:15.480
And, and I know you're a great constitutionalist. We have a federal system and states have a lot more
00:21:22.140
rights and a lot more power than they assert. And this is a perfect opportunity for the governor of
00:21:27.000
Florida to say enough, this nonsense stops on my watch. And they're going to do a, they should do
00:21:33.840
a very thorough proctology and especially dig into Ruth's electronics. Anyone he's in contact with
00:21:42.380
over the last six days, six months to figure out what the hell stimulated this guy to try this.
00:21:50.220
Because obviously when you look at the picture of his firing position, there is two ballistic plates
00:21:55.820
affixed to the, uh, of the fence. So obviously he was expecting counter fire and his GoPro attached
00:22:04.440
trophy hunting. Um, he was going to be a hero of the left. I'm very troubled. I'm glad the secret
00:22:11.500
service, uh, saw him first and engage, but there was four rounds fired. And the fact that the guy got
00:22:20.180
away is troubling that they weren't able to put effective fire on him. Um, but good on local law
00:22:27.280
enforcement for linking, uh, the pictures, I guess someone fleeing got a picture of his car and the
00:22:35.200
license plate number. They linked that to the opt to the, um, uh, plate readers to a helicopter and
00:22:41.940
they, uh, and they stopped the guy. Um, but yeah, the, the, the left and the language. Yeah,
00:22:49.920
that was local. That was sheriff's department. Yeah. Local law enforcement in America is largely
00:22:54.500
quite competent, especially in sheriff run, uh, law enforcement where you have an elected sheriff
00:22:59.940
accountable to the people, not to a hyper bureaucratic city council. Um, but this must be,
00:23:07.860
I look, this is a chance for Florida to really shine. DeSantis has done good things. The rest
00:23:13.160
of the state of Florida, they would be doing America a great service by making sure there
00:23:19.200
is a proper investigation done into all the background of this guy. Was there any external
00:23:24.800
stimulus beyond just the constant headbanging leftists calling for the death of Donald Trump?
00:23:31.760
So Eric, I have, uh, I've experienced the secret service, uh, many times and I have gotten around
00:23:42.000
them with my crew many times, uh, and walk past all of their stuff, uh, and walk right up to the
00:23:49.660
president. Um, you know, if I can do it, anybody can do it. Um, I was with the president on Saturday
00:23:55.900
and it was the first time that I saw a secret service actually where I thought act, they were
00:24:02.840
actually doing their job. The secret service was all over the entire place. Um, it was really
00:24:11.400
locked down. They were all over him. Um, and very close to him at all times. Uh, I actually,
00:24:18.800
what I saw on Saturday, I actually walked up to all of the secret service agents that I walked by
00:24:23.540
and I said, thank you for doing your job. This is the first time in 15 years I've seen the secret
00:24:28.080
service actually be a force. Um, do you believe that that is, that this is, uh, that they've done
00:24:36.960
enough? Obviously they haven't, but have they done enough? Is this a serious attempt or was that a
00:24:41.780
show? I would say the, the, the, the, the danger of security theater of a lot of people making like
00:24:49.460
they're busy in motion. But, um, I had one, one very experienced professional that's interacted with
00:24:58.880
the secret service a lot. Say there's about 10% that are super competent trying to carry all the
00:25:05.400
water. There's 40% that are, uh, just bureaucrats doing the minimum. And the other half are just, um,
00:25:13.380
largely useless, um, more interested in, um, sports scores and chasing, uh, the females on the advanced
00:25:24.320
team. So it's, it's that bad. So it, so a, a, a house cleaning is certainly necessary, like with
00:25:32.040
every federal agency, which has become hyper bloated, hyper unresponsive, hyper unaccountable.
00:25:38.740
And, and it just speaks to, this is a microcosm of our greater national security apparatus of how
00:25:46.180
bloated and ineffective it has become. If Donald Trump offered you and let's say Gavin DeBecker
00:25:52.380
the opportunity to go through and audit and make recommendations like he's, he's talking, you know,
00:26:00.040
with, uh, RFK, uh, with healthcare and, and, uh, health and human services and, and with Tulsi,
00:26:08.160
I hope with the Pentagon, would you, would you serve on a, on, on a real panel? I mean, I, the only,
00:26:16.260
the, the only two that I would trust would be you and, and Gavin DeBecker. I don't know how you feel
00:26:20.640
about Gavin. Um, I don't think I've ever met him, but I've heard great things about him. Um, look,
00:26:27.600
I am, I am all in for America and, uh, I will do whatever part I'm asked to play, but, uh, just re-vetting
00:26:36.920
with, here's the other thing. I, I understand last week, I even saw Senator Blumenthal from
00:26:43.900
Connecticut, not a Republican talking about a whistleblower about the agent in charge from
00:26:50.480
Homeland Security and Butler, Pennsylvania had failed some significant test and was waived through
00:26:56.720
the process anyway, by the former director. So again, waving and, and looking at, looking the other
00:27:05.380
way on competence is exactly what I'm talking about. And that needs to be rooted out with a very,
00:27:11.400
very stiff steel broom. I'm talking to, uh, uh, Steve friend, who's a whistleblower from the FBI
00:27:19.040
office in Florida, um, and get his point of view right now. We're, uh, we're talking to Eric Prince,
00:27:25.760
um, who made a pretty good prediction just, uh, about a month or two ago, uh, about what was going
00:27:32.520
to, uh, what was going to happen. Have you been in touch with Ron DeSantis? No, but I, I kind of
00:27:39.780
called him out on Twitter last night and, uh, I hope to speak to some of his staff. Good, good. Uh,
00:27:46.240
Eric, if there's ever anything that, uh, you think needs to be heard, please call us and, and thank you
00:27:52.160
so much for all of your, uh, work and insight. Appreciate it. You too, Glenn. Be well. You bet.
00:27:57.460
Eric Prince, uh, host of off leash, uh, which is a podcast, retired U S Navy state seal. Uh, and,
00:28:05.880
uh, I think one of the guys who really gets it, uh, and would know how to fix it. We have to start
00:28:12.280
getting out of this pool of the government. We have to start getting people like who are absolute
00:28:20.400
experts in this field. No, where, no, how it should be done. They can go in like Elon Musk.
00:28:28.560
Elon Musk should be going through with a red pen through all of the budgets. And by the way,
00:28:34.940
if I was going to do a show today on the budgets, if you think any of this stuff happening in Colorado
00:28:40.860
or happening in Ohio, any of the chaos in the streets, if you've ever wondered, geez, how are
00:28:46.920
they affording, uh, you know, these hotels in New York, you've, you've paid for it. And it was in a
00:28:53.960
bill that was passed right after, uh, Joe Biden was elected to help the economy. All of this has been
00:29:02.400
planned and we'll tell you about it, uh, on tomorrow's program. We were going to do it today,
00:29:07.200
but unfortunately the, uh, somebody again, tried to assassinate the president.
00:29:12.160
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:20.000
We are entering a new time. Anybody who is paying attention knows that I've never in my lifetime seen,
00:29:34.140
uh, has seen something so close to being a John F Kennedy moment as the assassination attempt on Donald
00:29:44.400
Trump. I have seen an assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan.
00:29:53.160
It either history shows it comes from one of three groups, uh, either crazies, John Hinckley,
00:30:03.140
or wound up, um, communists, anarchists, socialists, comes from the left or it comes from Palestinian
00:30:33.140
We have all of those zealots at a zenith of power right now,
00:30:51.620
Uh, when they targeted, yeah, and I use that word, when they targeted Sarah Palin for using the word
00:31:11.160
I mean, do you remember what they put her through?
00:31:25.900
Here is the, we put a montage together of their rhetoric against Donald Trump
00:31:37.560
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
00:31:45.700
I believe that Trump poses a fundamental threat to America.
00:31:50.160
Trump is as destructive a person in this century as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were in the last century.
00:31:56.620
President Trump is dangerous to America and the future of America.
00:32:00.800
We need to articulate the fact that Donald Trump is a danger to America.
00:32:04.600
He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation.
00:32:08.900
Donald Trump is a, is a fascist leader, and he's mobilizing his forces.
00:32:14.840
Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation.
00:32:23.240
He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be, he has to be eliminated.
00:32:31.860
The existential threat to the United States of America is Donald Trump.
00:32:35.440
I see Trump as a danger to our democracy, and I see him as a self-proclaimed fascist.
00:32:41.860
Trump is a existential threat to the future of America.
00:32:45.540
David Aronovich, who presents Radio 4's Briefing Room show, took to X4 Twitter and wrote,
00:32:52.480
If I was Biden, I'd hurry it up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America's security.
00:33:01.860
So there's assassination attempt number one, after years of indoctrination that he is Hitler.
00:33:09.700
If you really believe he's Hitler, I mean, people have, you know, played that little game even when we were kids.
00:33:18.380
You know, if you could go back and assassinate Hitler as a baby, would you do it?
00:33:27.680
If that's, if you listen to them, that's what you believe.
00:33:31.680
So of course you're going to wind up nut jobs to go out and try to shoot.
00:33:37.220
Now, they immediately said, after the last assassination attempt, they said, we've got to, you know, will anybody, you know, tone down the rhetoric?
00:33:49.620
This is the rhetoric since the first assassination.
00:33:54.040
Yeah, we're here to say, fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, the whole agenda, the whole fascist.
00:33:58.720
What do you think about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday?
00:34:03.000
We could have learned a timeline where Trump would be dead, and for me, that would have been okay.
00:34:06.140
It's too bad the bandage was just over his ear.
00:34:10.480
I think with every fabric of my body that Donald Trump represents a threat to the Constitution of the United States.
00:34:22.440
And his threats, you know, against democracy, I think it's important to, you know, turn the page.
00:34:29.660
He will focus on Donald Trump's threat to American democracy.
00:34:33.280
He feels very strongly that Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy.
00:34:37.740
So Donald Trump was recently shot at one of his rallies.
00:34:42.100
I wish he would have gotten shot in the forehead.
00:34:44.380
Donald Trump is dangerous, and because he's dangerous, Project 2025 is dangerous.
00:34:48.280
Right now, I feel like MAGA in general, they are threats to us domestically, and we see it time and time again.
00:34:59.020
Yesterday, just before the news broke, Kamala Harris was speaking at a rally, and she said Donald Trump must never again be allowed to stand behind a microphone or the seal of the President of the United States.
00:35:22.560
Now, you could say when she said, stand behind the seal of the President of the United States, that she was just saying that we can't allow him to be elected, go out and get the vote.
00:35:36.900
But for a man to never be allowed to stand behind a microphone, how exactly do you do that?
00:35:50.440
And I would say, yeah, they're trying to do that as well.
00:36:09.120
The demonization of the other side where we simply, you know, it's no longer politics.
00:36:17.580
The, you know, the calls for violence, the violence, you know, rhetoric that, you know, and then you look at what happens.
00:36:24.460
And, you know, this heated rhetoric can only go so far before, unfortunately, it, you know, it has led to violence on both sides of the aisle.
00:36:32.600
And so I think it's just something that Democrats and Republicans have to.
00:36:35.820
Can I just ask you, can I just, let me just ask you a question.
00:36:40.560
So are you saying that Donald Trump is ratcheting up the rhetoric, which then his people use to go and try to kill him?
00:37:05.300
I've heard him talk about facts like she's, she grew up a Marxist and she's lying to you.
00:37:14.460
And if you had a, a non-state press, which ABC is now, you have to stop thinking of these people as press.
00:37:36.620
If you would have had a fair debate, you would have had a few things corrected.
00:37:48.100
Well, what happened in that debate was exactly what Kamala Harris said would happen.
00:37:52.160
But she accused Donald Trump of being the one that would do it.
00:37:54.820
She said, you're going to hear nothing but name-calling.
00:38:00.600
And that's exactly what she did the whole time.
00:38:03.380
Because her whole strategy was to piss him off.
00:38:09.520
I don't know if name-calling counts when you just say somebody's weak.
00:38:21.020
Now, if that's the person that wants to be the leader of the free world, that's interesting.
00:38:35.820
So why are you allowing, why have you gone down to his level if that's what you think?
00:38:55.680
I don't like things that Donald Trump has said in the past.
00:39:12.980
And then I thought he was playing me, which he wasn't.
00:39:46.500
He was exposing the lies of the deep state that you now know exists.
00:39:53.800
I mean, the whole Russian collusion thing, even the media has mentioned it, that it was a lie.
00:40:02.920
They're still talking to the same insiders in the intelligence community, tell us.
00:40:07.880
They're still using the same sources, but they had to admit that, yes, those sources were lying.
00:40:13.680
So while they said that he was a Russian asset, while they said that he was doing all kinds of things that he shouldn't have been doing, that nothing was ever proven.
00:40:29.480
In fact, you know, the guy who came out on the perfect phone call, Ukraine, that everybody just loves so much.
00:40:50.600
You know, his brother is running for office in Virginia.
00:41:00.920
You vote for Vindman, you know, you should have your head examined.
00:41:04.640
But Vindman actually came out, the wife of Vindman, came out this weekend and said, carry on with your Sunday afternoon.
00:41:22.540
She doubled down after a congressman came out and said, you know, that's probably not the right thing to do.
00:41:44.400
I condemn your lack of integrity, your attacks on immigrants, your desecration of Arlington National Cemetery.
00:42:07.200
They're not anti-Democrat, anti-Republican, anti-anything.
00:42:18.980
And they asked Donald Trump to go to Arlington National Cemetery.
00:42:35.360
And, you know, many, maybe many of our families have been infected by this.
00:42:41.000
But I urge you, I urge you, before you concentrate on anybody else, concentrate on yourself.
00:42:55.960
Make sure that you have nothing that you are doing that is against, you know, common sense, against the teachings of Christ.
00:43:23.940
And I, you know, everybody said this from the dawn of time.
00:43:49.500
And the Lord will use anyone as flawed as they are if they just will stand up.
00:44:23.800
And he stood up and looked at the audience and said, fight.
00:44:28.460
Yesterday, his response was, I'm just going to play through.
00:44:32.020
No, Mr. President, we need to get you off the golf course.
