The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Erik Prince ｜ 9⧸16⧸24

00:00:00.000 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,

00:09:58.400 stopped him on the highway. They arrested him.

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.

00:10:25.160 And they called him. His name is Oran Routh.

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 0.95

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

00:15:54.520 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 0.88

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 0.58

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, 0.78

00:18:25.180 they can have their plausible deniability while actually now they've actuated to crazies to try 0.99

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 0.91

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

00:30:25.380 zealots. That's just a fact.

00:30:33.140 We have all of those zealots at a zenith of power right now,

00:30:40.120 and they are wound tight as a drum.

00:30:46.220 Our media doesn't really care.

00:30:51.620 Uh, when they targeted, yeah, and I use that word, when they targeted Sarah Palin for using the word

00:31:00.560 targeted, we're targeting these districts,

00:31:03.980 when Gabby Giffords was shot,

00:31:07.240 they made a really big deal out of it.

00:31:11.160 I mean, do you remember what they put her through?

00:31:14.700 But now they don't seem to care

00:31:17.120 at all

00:31:18.580 about their language.

00:31:20.640 Now, after two assassination attempts.

00:31:25.900 Here is the, we put a montage together of their rhetoric against Donald Trump

00:31:32.640 for the last few years.

00:31:35.180 Listen to this. Cut two, please.

00:31:37.560 When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?

00:31:41.120 Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?

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. 0.65

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. 0.99

00:32:14.840 Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. 0.99

00:32:18.500 He's a threat to our freedom. 0.54

00:32:20.720 He's a threat to our democracy. 0.99

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. 0.98

00:32:31.860 The existential threat to the United States of America is Donald Trump. 0.99

00:32:35.440 I see Trump as a danger to our democracy, and I see him as a self-proclaimed fascist. 0.96

00:32:41.860 Trump is a existential threat to the future of America. 0.70

00:32:45.540 David Aronovich, who presents Radio 4's Briefing Room show, took to X4 Twitter and wrote, 0.97

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. 0.88

00:33:01.860 So there's assassination attempt number one, after years of indoctrination that he is Hitler. 0.86

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. 0.72

00:33:18.380 You know, if you could go back and assassinate Hitler as a baby, would you do it? 0.85

00:33:23.220 Of course I'd do it. 0.97

00:33:24.620 Well, here's Hitler about to take power. 0.86

00:33:27.680 If that's, if you listen to them, that's what you believe. 0.98

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?

00:33:47.400 Well, let's see.

00:33:48.260 Did they tone down the rhetoric?

00:33:49.620 This is the rhetoric since the first assassination. 1.00

00:33:54.040 Yeah, we're here to say, fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, the whole agenda, the whole fascist. 1.00

00:33:58.720 What do you think about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday? 1.00

00:34:01.840 It was this close.

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. 0.94

00:34:09.380 It should have been over his mouth.

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.

00:34:18.940 Look, are they a threat to democracy?

00:34:20.320 Yes.

00:34:20.780 Are they going to take our rights away?

00:34:22.080 Yes.

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.

00:34:40.440 How do you feel about that? 0.99

00:34:42.100 I wish he would have gotten shot in the forehead. 0.99

00:34:44.380 Donald Trump is dangerous, and because he's dangerous, Project 2025 is dangerous. 0.99

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.

00:34:56.640 Okay, so that's them toning things down.

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?

00:35:43.860 Do you throw him in prison?

00:35:46.300 Oh, yeah, they're trying to do that. 1.00

00:35:47.580 Or do you just kill him? 0.95

00:35:50.440 And I would say, yeah, they're trying to do that as well. 0.98

00:35:56.760 How did they respond yesterday?

00:36:03.620 Let's go to cut three. 0.81

00:36:07.100 Here's MSNBC.

00:36:08.800 Yesterday.

00:36:09.120 The demonization of the other side where we simply, you know, it's no longer politics.

00:36:15.280 It's gotten bigger than that.

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?

00:36:54.600 Because that doesn't make any sense.

00:36:59.940 He's ratcheting up the rhetoric.

00:37:03.020 No, I've heard him talk about facts.

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.

00:37:23.680 They are one in the same.

00:37:26.040 They are Pravda.

00:37:27.300 They are a government propaganda arm.

00:37:30.620 That is clear.

00:37:36.620 If you would have had a fair debate, you would have had a few things corrected.

00:37:45.800 But what was happening?

00:37:48.100 Well, what happened in that debate was exactly what Kamala Harris said would happen. 0.97

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.

00:37:57.360 You're going to hear lies and smears.

00:38:00.600 And that's exactly what she did the whole time. 0.91

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. 0.55

00:38:14.360 You're weak. 0.96

00:38:15.380 You're weak. 1.00

00:38:16.140 You're pathetic. 1.00

00:38:17.140 You're weak. 1.00

00:38:19.340 She was egging him on. 0.90

00:38:21.020 Now, if that's the person that wants to be the leader of the free world, that's interesting.

00:38:28.380 That's interesting.

00:38:29.480 Now, you can say, well, Donald Trump did that.

00:38:32.440 Yes, but you hated that when he did it.

00:38:35.820 So why are you allowing, why have you gone down to his level if that's what you think?

00:38:44.600 Well, it's the only way to win.

00:38:46.540 Oh, so you believe the ends justify the means.

00:38:52.520 I don't believe that.

00:38:55.680 I don't like things that Donald Trump has said in the past.

00:39:00.080 I don't hear him say these things anymore.

00:39:02.760 I think the man has changed.

00:39:04.000 I know him.

00:39:06.320 I would consider him a friend now.

00:39:09.280 I didn't like him at first.

00:39:11.520 Well, actually, I liked him at first.

00:39:12.980 And then I thought he was playing me, which he wasn't.

00:39:18.460 I really thought he was playing me.

00:39:21.240 I have learned that's who this guy is.

00:39:27.200 And then what did he do?

00:39:31.400 He got into office.

00:39:33.200 And what did he do?

00:39:35.820 He made America better.

00:39:39.360 He ended the wars. 0.60

00:39:41.320 He was unwinding things rationally.

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. 0.99

00:40:00.540 They're still giving you the same crap. 0.85

00:40:02.920 They're still talking to the same insiders in the intelligence community, tell us. 0.98

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.

00:40:37.220 He was the perfect whistleblower.

00:40:40.660 Vindman.

00:40:41.400 Oh, my gosh.

00:40:42.380 He was great.

00:40:44.220 We got to listen to Vindman.

00:40:46.320 Right?

00:40:47.840 Right?

00:40:48.400 We have to listen to him, right?

00:40:50.600 You know, his brother is running for office in Virginia.

00:40:57.080 His brother, Vindman.

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.

00:41:16.040 No ears were harmed.

00:41:18.780 That was her response.

00:41:22.360 Hmm.

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.

00:41:37.020 You probably shouldn't vote for the brother.

00:41:41.680 She doubled down. 1.00

00:41:42.900 She said, I condemn you.

00:41:44.400 I condemn your lack of integrity, your attacks on immigrants, your desecration of Arlington National Cemetery.

00:41:52.180 Really?

00:41:52.740 I was with the families this weekend.

00:41:55.220 I was with them.

00:41:57.160 I was with them.

00:42:01.000 I want you to meet them.

00:42:04.280 They're amazing.

00:42:07.200 They're not anti-Democrat, anti-Republican, anti-anything.

00:42:13.960 They are just pro the truth.

00:42:16.240 And they have been smeared and destroyed.

00:42:18.980 And they asked Donald Trump to go to Arlington National Cemetery.

00:42:23.860 They asked him.

00:42:26.140 He did. 1.00

00:42:26.920 These people are, they're nuts. 1.00

00:42:35.360 And, you know, many, maybe many of our families have been infected by this. 0.99

00:42:41.000 But I urge you, I urge you, before you concentrate on anybody else, concentrate on yourself.

00:42:51.600 Clean out your own house.

00:42:54.040 Make sure that your house is in order.

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.

00:43:07.760 Clean it all out.

00:43:09.060 Whatever you're doing, stop it right now.

00:43:11.940 Clean it out.

00:43:13.300 Finish it.

00:43:13.820 Put it in the past.

00:43:15.360 Repent.

00:43:16.540 And prepare yourself.

00:43:20.000 Have to.

00:43:22.120 I firmly believe.

00:43:23.940 And I, you know, everybody said this from the dawn of time.

00:43:27.860 And they've been wrong every time.

00:43:29.320 So I'm most likely wrong.

00:43:31.060 Probably 99% chance I'm wrong.

00:43:33.920 But I think the Lord is coming.

00:43:35.240 And you have to choose which side you're on.

00:43:43.300 I'm not on Donald Trump's side.

00:43:46.320 I'm on the Lord's side.

00:43:49.500 And the Lord will use anyone as flawed as they are if they just will stand up.

00:43:55.700 Just stand up and protect what is right.

00:43:58.400 No matter how flawed they are.

00:43:59.880 Martin Luther King was a very flawed man.

00:44:02.080 He stood up and did what was right.

00:44:04.360 This guy is not going to stop.

00:44:07.000 He doesn't need it for his family.

00:44:08.660 He doesn't certainly need it for his business.

00:44:11.040 He doesn't need it for money.

00:44:12.700 He doesn't need it for fame.

00:44:14.580 Why the hell is this guy running?

00:44:18.160 Why the hell is this guy? 0.98

00:44:19.940 They tried to kill him now twice. 0.99

00:44:22.040 Almost killed him the first time.

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.

00:44:36.480 Why?

00:44:37.780 Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
