Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:00:43.320
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly and welcome to this weekend special edition.
00:00:47.200
Today, I want to bring you an interview I did this past week with one of former President Donald Trump's sons,
00:00:55.640
It was his first time ever on the show and in the wake of the second assassination attempt on his father's life,
00:01:02.580
yes, the second, we talked about all the disturbing angles.
00:01:06.780
Where was Eric when he got the news and how he wound up watching the arrest of the would-be assassin?
00:01:13.020
He also opened up about what it was like for his young children.
00:01:16.320
He's got little ones and this is their grandpa when they witnessed the first assassination attempt
00:01:23.780
We are back tomorrow with Vivek Ramaswamy and also Batcha Ungar Sargon.
00:01:53.780

00:02:14.940
I was one of the first people I knew and, you know, he was in okay spirits.
00:02:18.460
But, you know, honestly, I'm almost not, right?
00:02:21.020
I'm sick and tired of seeing, you know, people try and take his lives.
00:02:24.200
It's this, you know, second time in five weeks that this has been allowed to happen.
00:02:30.220
You've done, I think, a better job probably, Megan, than anybody I'm reporting on that.
00:02:33.900
And, I mean, what happened there is just, it's a breakdown of government in the worst
00:02:39.280
And then, obviously, you see what happened yesterday.
00:02:46.500
And, you know, they saved somebody from utter catastrophe.
00:02:53.680
We can't allow people with, you know, AR-15s, with AK-47s within 300 yards of the president.
00:03:05.720
You know, there's only so many kind of, you know, proverbial lives that you have before,
00:03:14.240
And Faith was definitely with him, you know, five weeks ago.
00:03:21.820
I mean, I just want everybody to understand they are trying to kill him, Megan.
00:03:27.040
And it's one of the things that drives me crazy when you see Kamala on the debate stage.
00:03:32.040
It's, you know, there's only one person that they're going after.
00:03:36.040
And they've gone after him in every single way.
00:03:39.980
They tried to take him off the ballot in states.
00:03:42.460
They tried to take him off the ballot in Colorado and Maine.
00:03:46.980
They've gone after all of us thousands of times.
00:03:48.980
You know, Megan, I'm probably the most subpoenaed person in the history of the country.
00:03:55.420
They've weaponized, you know, the judicial system, DAs, AGs.
00:04:02.020
And now twice in five weeks, as we approach 50 days away from election day, they've tried to kill him.
00:04:14.160
And, you know, we government better do a good job protecting him.
00:04:19.280
And, you know, sometimes I worry that they're not.
00:04:24.960
May I ask, how did you find out the news yesterday?
00:04:27.860
Yeah, I did hear a friend who was actually in the sheriff's department who ended up calling me because, you know, obviously went across the radio.
00:04:34.540
So, you know, as soon as shots were fired, he called me saying, hey, you know, you might want to figure out what the hell is going on.
00:04:39.140
It looks like they just tried this for a second time.
00:04:41.020
And so, obviously, I got on the phone and they were taking him off the course.
00:04:47.520
But it's, you know, coincidentally, I was driving south on 95.
00:04:51.000
I actually took a personal video of the guy being arrested at the time.
00:04:54.240
I mean, it's interesting how small the world can be at times.
00:05:01.200
And literally, I drive by all the helicopters and all the squad cars that are arresting the very man that, you know, 15 minutes before I tried to shoot my father.
00:05:13.260
And now apparently he's in federal court laughing in front of the judge.
00:05:16.100
So, you know, that's the type of person that we're dealing with.
00:05:19.300
The reaction from the left last night, at least on the media, has been there was an incident.
00:05:29.200
And, oh, by the way, let's get back to cats and dogs in Springfield, Illinois, or Springfield, Ohio, and Trump's irresponsible rhetoric.
00:05:40.880
I mean, we've obviously found out based on this whistleblower came forward with a signed affidavit that ABC gave the questions to Kamala Harris.
00:05:48.340
I'd like to know where Bob Iger is on this whole thing.
00:05:51.900
And, you know, that's part of the course for the media.
00:05:54.760
You know, they may as well be, you know, the PR arm of the Democratic Party.
00:06:00.000
You know, 100% of their coverage toward her is positive, despite the fact that she's the worst vice president in the history of this country, bar none.
00:06:07.660
And despite the, you know, the record my father had, you know, they're 100% negative against him.
00:06:14.020
And you see all these reports in the vicinity, you know, shots were fired in the vicinity.
00:06:17.640
All right, well, let me just break this down because I know this property better than any person on Earth, maybe other than my father.
00:06:25.300
You had a person who ran across a median, who ran across a massive lawn into, you know, massive palmetto bushes, effectively, was staged up against a fence 200 yards away from where my father was.
00:06:41.060
This guy was in the middle of the sixth hole with body armor, GoPros, and an AK-47 on a fence line.
00:06:49.140
And, you know, and then it's, yes, a shooting in the vicinity of the president.
00:06:52.720
I mean, they use every word that they possibly can to dumb down what this person was trying to do, which was to kill the 45th president of the United States, to extinguish him from this Earth.
00:07:08.640
They want to do everything they can to bolster Kamala's, you know, campaign, which is not much of a campaign because, again, she's just a horrible candidate.
00:07:19.120
But, you know, there was a meme going around, Megan, that the Will Smith slap literally lasted longer than the coverage of Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:07:33.500
I mean, the thing that struck me yesterday was your dad has a few pastimes.
00:07:46.720
And now even that has been hampered by this would-be assassin.
00:07:51.920
I mean, now your dad's not going to be the same when he gets out.
00:07:53.940
He's going to have to worry about whether somebody's trying to take his life.
00:07:57.280
Is that, in your view, a Secret Service failure, an intelligence failure, a rhetoric failure by people who say he's Hitler?
00:08:09.480
You know, it's a question that pains me in the answer.
00:08:15.100
I know all the ones that were on the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, and they did an awesome job.
00:08:20.720
I mean, they would take a bullet for him, and there were ones on that stage who were with me for three years.
00:08:27.220
There were people that were out there with him yesterday, and they did a phenomenal job.
00:08:31.860
I mean, as the first shot went out, they were pulling him off, and they did a hell of a job.
00:08:36.700
But somebody's got to ask the question, what the hell is happening in the perimeter?
00:08:40.800
I mean, frankly, if I was an agent, I'd be screaming from the rooftops, right?
00:08:44.080
You're putting great agents who are doing phenomenal jobs and have acted perfectly in that situation.
00:08:49.760
But yet something is failing on the outskirts where you've had somebody with a rifle in Butler, Pennsylvania, 130 yards.
00:08:58.720
In this case, you know, 200 to 300 yards away with an AK-47 propped up against a fence line.
00:09:04.640
There's only so much that body people can do, and clearly somebody on the outskirts is failing this mission because that should not happen.
00:09:11.880
And, you know, I hope to God somebody does a deep dive, and it hurts me to say that because, again,
00:09:16.560
the people who are around him are some of the greatest, finest people you'll ever meet in your entire life.
00:09:23.820
And they would take a bullet, and they, you know, would die for him.
00:09:26.740
And many of them, based on the incompetence, frankly, Megan, have almost.
00:09:32.220
And Butler, there's, you know, multiple shots that went out.
00:09:34.800
Any single one of them could have gotten killed.
00:09:37.220
What is going on with the perimeter that's supposed to be around our world leaders?
00:09:46.840
It's one of my, you know, favorite things in the world to do.
00:09:53.800
This is not a – ask any person who hunts deer.
00:10:02.120
And yet it's happened, you know, what, twice in the last five weeks?
00:10:07.720
And on every side, every person who is a political protectee in this country,
00:10:14.280
Because whatever the hell we're doing right now, Megan, it's not working.
00:10:17.960
And there's not going to be too many more chances before somebody gets awfully lucky.
00:10:23.740
One word on that ABC affidavit to which you referred.
00:10:27.480
We're actually going to take a deep dive into that later in the show.
00:10:30.500
ABC hasn't responded to our requests on whether they want to deny any of these allegations.
00:10:36.980
Allegedly, he got the letter from this whistleblower.
00:10:39.580
But we are going to take a deep dive into whether, in fact,
00:10:42.340
there's reason to believe they cheated on that debate that they gave Kamala Harris.
00:10:45.440
I mean, explicitly unfair advantages, sample questions, and so on, just so the audience knows.
00:10:51.480
Because right now, in the wake of the second attempt on your dad's life,
00:10:55.340
we have President Biden, Vice President Harris,
00:10:58.300
saying the right things about, you know, no one should be subjected to political violence.
00:11:05.300
And yet, there seemed to be absolutely no accountability,
00:11:07.860
nor was there any shift in tone from Kamala Harris, who's now the nominee,
00:11:13.260
I mean, the rhetoric has been at a boiling point consistently from their side,
00:11:17.880
not just about politics and who should run the country,
00:11:23.660
So do you accept their statements today that they're very sorry about what happened
00:11:29.280
No, I don't accept their statements, Megan, and not at all.
00:11:32.580
I mean, you know, before Butler, Pennsylvania, two days before,
00:11:35.500
Biden had a, you know, a truth or an ex-up saying that we should put the president
00:11:42.720
I mean, you've done a better job than anybody going back.
00:11:52.380
I mean, they are the most violent people in the world.
00:11:55.000
You know, the bullets are only going one way here, right?
00:12:05.780
You know, I mean, this is the same administration that wouldn't give RFK secret service protection
00:12:10.080
despite the fact that multiple people in his family—
00:12:12.280
despite the fact that he's a serious political candidate for a major party in the country,
00:12:17.180
but also despite the fact that several people in his family have been executed, right?
00:12:23.620
They refuse to give the guy—and my father was a guy who came out and said,
00:12:30.180
I don't think they give it to him, Megan, honestly, and it pains me to say that.
00:12:33.240
And so, yeah, you see some, you know, some post online that doesn't feel genuine at all,
00:12:39.340
that's written by some staffer saying the absolute bare minimum of what should be said.
00:12:45.440
I mean, why didn't Biden get rid of the secret service director?
00:12:48.840
Why did she have to resign on her own after she gets up there and says,
00:12:52.440
the reason that they didn't have snipers on the roof in Butler, Pennsylvania,
00:12:55.280
is because the slope of the roof was too steep, right?
00:13:03.840
In fact, the roofs that the snipers were on were exponentially more steep
00:13:07.220
than the roof that the, you know, would-be assassin tried to shoot my father from.
00:13:17.140
I mean, if I was Biden, I would have forced a resignation five minutes after this.
00:13:21.720
I mean, isn't that what happens when, you know, protectees start getting shot,
00:13:31.680
They didn't hold Millie accountable when you had the most disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, right?
00:13:36.260
I mean, why is it that this administration holds no one accountable for failure after failure?
00:13:42.320
I mean, what's that going to do that's just going to incentivize further failure?
00:13:47.280
People should know that they have responsibility, and they better take that responsibility seriously.
00:13:51.640
Otherwise, they're not going to be there the next day.
00:13:53.400
That's how the real world works, but that's not how it works under these guys.
00:14:04.120
I guarantee you they probably never even saw them.
00:14:06.160
They were probably written by some low-level staffer who put it out because they realized that they had to say something.
00:14:12.100
But I think it's completely disingenuous, especially, again, given that Biden has been the first person to say he hopes Donald Trump remains in the quote-unquote crosshairs,
00:14:21.080
which, unfortunately, he's been twice in the last five weeks.
00:14:25.960
The weirdness of this guy's, this shooter, this would-be shooter's book, talking about Iran.
00:14:32.060
I'm going to quote more now from this book, which is available on Amazon.
00:14:35.220
I would like to celebrate the amazing work of John Kerry that very humbly and humanly handled the Iran deal, which elated me and the whole of the world.
00:14:44.760
I must take part of the blame for the retarded child, quoting here, that we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless.
00:14:53.660
But I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake.
00:14:59.060
And here's where he says what we said in the intro.
00:15:00.920
You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal.
00:15:07.260
No one here in the U.S. seems to have the balls to put natural selection to work or even unnatural selection.
00:15:18.100
They've been investigated, and there was a warning that the Secret Service was aware of before Butler,
00:15:22.900
though the complaints by the locals was that that was not shared with them.
00:15:26.640
Do you have any concerns about whether this guy might have some ties to Iran or some foreign actor overseas?
00:15:37.400
I mean, listen, we've had the Iranian death threat on all of us, frankly, for a very long time.
00:15:41.540
It's something that we've been very cognizant of for, you know, many years, frankly.
00:15:47.060
I mean, from the time that he was in office and he was taking out guys like Soleimani and al-Baghdadi and, you know,
00:15:51.620
so many of their nuclear scientists and doing so many other things.
00:15:53.960
I mean, it's interesting that the guy, the would-be shooter yesterday, was complimenting a country that literally chants death to America.
00:16:01.180
I mean, in Tehran, they chant death to America on their streets, yet he's complimenting how great their nation is.
00:16:06.960
It's also kind of ironic that, you know, we had total peace in the Middle East under my father, right?
00:16:13.700
You know, we were exporting oil from the U.S., meaning we didn't need their oil.
00:16:18.860
Effectively, anybody who buys Iranian oil, we're not going to buy a single product.
00:16:23.040
I mean, the United States of America will not buy a single product from them.
00:16:27.320
You're effectively cut off from every market around the world.
00:16:32.660
They weren't attacking our greatest ally in the Middle East, right, which is obviously Israel.
00:16:43.200
For the last 18 months, we didn't lose a single service member over in Afghanistan.
00:16:47.740
My father sent the head of the Taliban literally a picture of his home.
00:16:52.820
You know what's going to happen if you do, right?
00:16:56.620
You had the moving of the embassy, as everybody knows very well.
00:17:00.480
You had so many great milestones in the Middle East.
00:17:03.120
And, you know, it's amazing that the shooter, well, it's the same guy that's laughing in
00:17:07.680
front of a courthouse right now as he's facing probably the rest of his life in jail for doing
00:17:13.280
But, you know, it's amazing that this person is a guy who's, you know, complimenting a country
00:17:17.420
that, again, you know, wants our total demise, wants to create nuclear weapons to use against
00:17:24.220
the West to extinguish our religion, our way of life, our families, and everything that
00:17:31.520
And so it's very par for the course for the guy that I see in that picture who looks like
00:17:44.120
His name is Chris Swecker, was 24 years with the FBI, helped actually capture Eric Rudolph
00:17:50.980
after the Olympic Park bombing, the actual guy who did it.
00:17:54.880
And in a Newsweek interview, he said the biggest question to answer here is how did the would-be
00:17:59.440
assassin know to be at that location at that time?
00:18:04.320
And then he goes on to say, Eric, there are only three possible answers.
00:18:10.120
He conducted surveillance on Trump and followed him to the golf course.
00:18:13.780
Or he had inside information about Trump's schedule.
00:18:21.660
And in what world do we think it's a good idea for somebody with a pistol to be fighting
00:18:30.940
Pistols versus rifles don't work out well in the modern day.
00:18:35.380
We better get a real perimeter around the president.
00:18:45.280
I said it, and it was very controversial when I did.
00:18:50.300
I've just seen what they tried to do to my family for the last 10 years now of us being
00:19:06.160
And the only thing that was left for them to do was to literally kill him.
00:19:09.020
And a couple months ago, a couple months before Butler, I literally said, it would not surprise
00:19:18.860
And then you take that with real lapses in security.
00:19:23.380
I think yesterday, in many ways, was a success.
00:19:25.600
They got the guy before he could do something bad.
00:19:28.460
But we better work on this perimeter because this is getting far too close.
00:19:33.700
And even when Blumenthal, it was probably the biggest anti-Trumper in the world, right?
00:19:38.280
When he comes out and says that there's a lot there to unpack, we better start getting
00:19:42.220
serious because, you know, Megan, we look like a third world country.
00:19:46.240
But we'd look like a third world country if our, you know, if the leading candidate,
00:19:49.800
former president of the United States and leading candidate, you know, likely the 47th
00:19:53.580
president of the United States, gets executed in Palm Beach, Florida, we'd be the laughing
00:20:00.120
We're no longer the superpower of the world because people are literally, people would be
00:20:03.100
laughing at us, you know, not to mention what would probably be the ramifications
00:20:08.220
You know, I mean, civil wars in countries have started for less than things like that.
00:20:11.940
I couldn't even fathom what that would mean for our nation, what that would mean for the
00:20:16.280
American dream, what that would mean for our prosperity, the respect or lack thereof.
00:20:21.980
You can't spend $3 billion on an agency to protect effectively two people, really protect
00:20:37.400
As somebody who knows this golf course, is it you tell me, is it possible, do you think
00:20:41.800
for somebody to have just followed your dad, just sort of stumbled upon his schedule, like
00:20:45.740
look for him and then follow him to the golf course?
00:20:49.280
Yeah, it's awfully easy to see a big motorcade pulling in there.
00:20:55.080
I mean, the guy effectively went into a bunch of Eureka palms posted along.
00:20:59.560
But I mean, how would he know your dad would be there on this particular Sunday?
00:21:06.080
So, I mean, do you have any because, you know, there are a lot of people thinking this
00:21:25.720
And I think there's a lot of conspiracy theories out there that are absolutely insane.
00:21:28.340
And you better believe after twice in five weeks, you better start entertaining, you
00:21:33.620
know, all of those scenarios because something is very, very wrong.
00:21:41.880
Megan, if you look at that, right, you've got a you know, you've got a massive street
00:21:45.900
You've got probably 20 yards of a beautiful, perfectly manicured grass.
00:21:50.680
Then you get to a row of beautiful palm trees, right, royal palm trees, and you have about
00:21:55.860
And then you've got a big hedge line inside the hedge line.
00:21:58.760
You have a chain link fence right on the other side of that.
00:22:00.820
He literally got across all of that holding a long gun.
00:22:07.620
It's not like he's creeping through a bunch of woods to try and get in a concealed
00:22:11.700
I mean, he literally went across a massive highway in the middle of the day with it with a
00:22:15.600
long gun, something that you can't just throw in a backpack.
00:22:18.920
And slowly on his way into the bushes, adjoining, you know, adjacent to a golf hole that my
00:22:26.280
You better entertain those those possibilities because that's seriously bad.
00:22:30.160
And, you know, I mean, the guy from looking at him looks like a total nut job.
00:22:36.480
But what happens if he wasn't what happens if that guy was well camoed?
00:22:40.100
What happens if that agent just didn't happen to be there at the right time?
00:22:42.820
What happens if that guy killed that agent and then used a scope rifle to take somebody
00:22:47.480
I mean, we better really start locking down this perimeter because something is is is
00:22:53.060
And as I said three times on this interview now, they are trying to get him.
00:22:58.480
When I said it six months ago, I believed in my heart that they would stop at nothing.
00:23:01.620
But now the world knows they are trying to get him.
00:23:04.880
Do you feel comfortable having the FBI conduct this investigation?
00:23:07.840
Ron DeSantis is saying he will conduct an investigation of his own down in Florida just to
00:23:11.960
make sure there are a lot of people who don't trust the FBI.
00:23:14.460
A lot of people at this point have questions about the Secret Service.
00:23:22.280
It pains me to answer this question because honestly, I'm the biggest law enforcement guy.
00:23:25.760
I mean, my best friends in the world are all law enforcement.
00:23:29.040
I mean, literally Megan, my closest friends in the world.
00:23:33.080
But they are some of my closest friends in the world.
00:23:35.920
But then I see the weaponization of government.
00:23:37.980
I mean, I was the guy that got the call from the FBI that, you know, about the, you know,
00:23:43.760
the servers in the basement of Trump Tower communicating with the Kremlin.
00:23:50.740
First of all, we didn't have servers in a basement because guess what?
00:23:57.500
So, you know, the notion of really having servers that are communicating with the Kremlin
00:24:03.140
Yet that hung over the first three years of my father's presidency, right?
00:24:06.380
They could have shut that down second one, day one, and they let that drag and they
00:24:12.700
It literally put two superpowers against each other.
00:24:16.480
The two superpowers with the most nuclear weapons on earth, Russia and America for a
00:24:21.080
three-year period of time almost couldn't have communications because of the sham hoax that
00:24:24.800
was happening when an agency knew that it was nonsense, that it was garbage, that there
00:24:39.900
I've seen more things about us get leaked that were just untrue.
00:24:46.760
And you know, it's so sad because I have a bunch of friends who were FBI agents, like
00:24:52.020
And these are the most incredible people you've ever seen.
00:24:53.780
I mean, a couple of my closest friends in the world are in that agency and they also
00:24:58.440
shake their heads and what the hell is going on?
00:25:00.320
I mean, it's really amazing how, you know, one floor in one office building and one, you
00:25:04.940
know, in when, you know, in Washington, D.C. can corrupt an entire agency.
00:25:09.600
And you see that with the Secret Service as well sometimes.
00:25:11.700
I mean, some of the finest people you have ever met in your life, people who, regardless
00:25:16.280
of whether we win on November 5th, will be some of my closest lifelong friends for people
00:25:20.760
who, frankly, were assigned to Laura and I for a four-year period of time or three-year
00:25:25.400
period of time, you know, depending on, you know, when their ship came in.
00:25:32.620
And they would take a bullet for either my father.
00:25:36.860
They would take a bullet for anybody because that's their job and they're brave as hell and
00:25:44.140
And make no mistake, some of these agencies are weaponized.
00:25:46.900
I mean, you know, the eighth floor of the Secret Service in Washington, D.C. allowed agents
00:25:50.880
during my father's presidency to go find the 4473, the firearm forms from Hunter Biden.
00:25:57.660
They allowed agents to go over to the firearm store where he had his revolver and they wanted
00:26:06.100
Do you think while Joe Biden was president, if, you know, Laura Trump threw a revolver in a trash
00:26:10.380
can outside of the supermarket, do you think Secret Service agents would be going over there
00:26:15.340
and trying to, you know, fish it out of a dumpster or going over to the gun store to
00:26:26.840
I mean, the Democrats have done everything they can to weaponize every single system.
00:26:34.220
You know, they've weaponized the entire legal system.
00:26:37.440
I mean, they're sending the number three person in charge of the DOJ to New York to
00:26:40.880
prosecute my father to try and take him off the ticket so that Joe Biden had a better
00:26:45.600
And everybody knows the end story of what happened there.
00:26:49.700
They've weaponized these institutions top to bottom.
00:26:54.380
And at the center of it is a real life human who has a family, has grandkids.
00:26:59.540
That was one of the first things I thought about.
00:27:08.660
My kids were sitting on my lap when Butler happened.
00:27:12.420
They were sitting on my lap watching him, right?
00:27:14.400
Everybody was speculating that he was going to make the dance announcement that day.
00:27:17.580
I knew he wasn't going to, but everybody was watching that rally.
00:27:22.120
My kids were six and four at the time, but I had a six and four-year-old sitting on my
00:27:25.800
lap watching their grandfather, you know, go down with blood flowing across his face.
00:27:29.240
I mean, yeah, he's a real life human being and, you know, it is a real life family.
00:27:33.320
But beyond all of that, I mean, don't cry for us.
00:27:37.000
We can stand on the stage and, you know, and have so.
00:27:42.280
They're not going to, you know, but this is the guy who does not need to be doing this,
00:27:46.820
I mean, Barack Obama was a community organizer, right?
00:27:52.620
You know, my father could live the greatest life in the world.
00:27:57.420
We've got the best assets, the best hotels, the best golf courses around the world.
00:28:01.000
He could live the greatest life with no nonsense.
00:28:02.880
He's not getting shot at every single day, literally and figuratively.
00:28:05.740
He's not sitting in courthouses all around the country.
00:28:09.900
He could still be the kingmaker of the Republican Party.
00:28:13.100
He wants to go out and fix this country because we are a failing nation.
00:28:26.340
I mean, the guy's sleeping on a beach while my father lays wreaths at Abbey Gate,
00:28:30.320
you know, commemorating 13 fallen soldiers in Afghanistan based on the worst withdrawal
00:28:36.860
And what, our president is sleeping on a beach getting a suntan?
00:28:44.160
You have Kamala Harris who doesn't have a single policy that makes any sense whatsoever.
00:28:49.040
I mean, her economic policies would bankrupt this country in about two and a half seconds.
00:28:52.180
You know, it's, it's, and she's put in charge of the border.
00:28:55.940
We've had 20 million people come across our border.
00:28:57.820
We have 300,000 kids that have died of fentanyl poisoning and they laugh about it.
00:29:04.060
Yes, I'm going to be very serious about the border.
00:29:07.540
Megan, they flew in 320,000 people on aircraft, 737s into airports all across our nation in the
00:29:14.960
Yes, she's saying she's going to be serious about enforcing her, our border, right?
00:29:18.740
They let in 20 million people into this country.
00:29:21.840
They sold an entire wall that my father had built, right?
00:29:27.980
All the, the rest of the border wall was built.
00:29:29.880
They sold all that steel for scrap at like four cents on the dollar, right?
00:29:34.740
And yet they come out and say, yes, we're going to be very serious about closing our border.
00:29:42.600
And we would win this election by 100% if they didn't cheat.
00:29:46.260
And if they didn't have the entire mainstream media being effectively the propaganda wing of
00:29:53.340
The, the, the, the media, I mean, we're going to get to that with our next guest.
00:29:56.120
I don't want to waste too much of your time because I know you got to run.
00:29:58.540
Can I just bring, bring this one thing up before I let you go?
00:30:00.920
The New York Times now reporting, this just hit.
00:30:03.640
The federal criminal complaint filed against the suspected gunman says his cell phone
00:30:07.320
was in the vicinity of the area along the tree line of the Trump golf course beginning at
00:30:12.260
1 59 AM, which would have been 12 hours prior to the secret service finding him, meaning
00:30:21.340
it appears he was likely lying in wait potentially for 12 hours at a minimum.
00:30:27.720
He visited the site at two in the morning and then went back.
00:30:31.260
But this certainly suggests he could have been lying in wait and certainly was outside of
00:30:36.800
Yet another thing, if the secret service had drones, if the secret service understanding
00:30:41.660
he was going to golf there would have detected or should have detected in advance, I, I can't
00:30:55.660
God forbid he would have, that agent wouldn't have seen him.
00:31:00.820
He would have been 40 yards on the next hole right there, right where it says hole six,
00:31:04.540
right where your little arrow's pointing, right?
00:31:08.640
The guy would have been there with an assault rifle at 50 yards.
00:31:15.040
But somebody better, better take perimeter security more, more, more seriously.
00:31:22.620
The fact that it's that premeditated, the guy was there one o'clock in the morning.
00:31:28.180
What the hell is a person doing there one o'clock in the morning?
00:31:31.880
I can't even tell you how I truly feel about this because it's, it's, and I, not, it's
00:31:36.280
not only as a devastating part, you know, as, as a family member, right.
00:31:39.220
I mean, this bothers me more that this is against him than it would be if it were against me.
00:31:44.000
I'd be substantially less, you know, upset, but like, we've got to be better than this
00:31:53.340
And there should be universal outrage, but there isn't, there isn't, you know, you've
00:31:56.600
seen some of the nasty reaction from leftists online celebrating it.
00:32:02.680
They're, you know, Bob Iger comments after Butler, like they're sorry he missed.
00:32:06.220
Bob Iger, who's the head of ABC, you know, he's the head of Disney, but obviously the
00:32:10.360
parent company, you know, to ABC, you know, I mean, where, where's the outrage?
00:32:16.520
I mean, if I was Bob Iger, I'd fire everybody at ABC News.
00:32:20.800
I mean, you just tank the entire brand for ABC News.
00:32:23.920
I mean, this is a guy who runs a publicly run company, right?
00:32:27.260
I mean, Disney is a public, he's got a fiduciary duty to his shareholders.
00:32:31.400
His shareholders are hundreds of thousands of people around this country.
00:32:35.320
You know, maybe millions of people around this country and around the world, yet there's
00:32:41.040
And they, no different than an organization is willing to literally give the questions
00:32:45.480
of a presidential debate to one of the candidates that they favor.
00:32:50.880
Does it come as any surprise that they want to bury the second time my father has almost
00:32:55.120
been assassinated in a five-week period of time?
00:33:02.280
George Stephanopoulos, I mean, he was part of the war room.
00:33:05.860
He was part of the Clinton, you know, political team with James Carvell and all these people.
00:33:11.540
Does anybody really believe that these people can be fair and objective?
00:33:17.580
But also, Megan, where's the shareholder outrage?
00:33:20.600
If I was a shareholder of Disney, thank God I'm not, because honestly, they're a failing
00:33:35.360
But I mean, the fact that Bob Iger has not said a word about either what's happened then
00:33:41.360
and they continue the narrative today, not to mention the NBCs and frankly, the CNNs and
00:33:52.060
Yeah, they're not they're not acknowledging multiple failures at the debate.
00:33:55.400
They're not acknowledging they're not reversing any of their fake fact checks, which is just
00:34:00.360
They're being celebrated for these fake fact checks by other members of the media.
00:34:04.080
And then on top of that, you get this self-proclaimed whistleblower saying ABC gave her sample
00:34:14.180
Again, not yet responded to by ABC or by Speaker Johnson, who was allegedly copied on the whistleblower
00:34:19.780
letter, but not only that they gave her sample questions, but they agreed that they wouldn't
00:34:23.440
ask her about Joe Biden's fitness, mental fitness, that they wouldn't ask her about her brother-in-law
00:34:29.100
and his term in the Department of Justice, where he was accused of intentionally giving
00:34:33.020
out big settlements to left wing plaintiffs in order to curry favor or her time as California
00:34:38.900
This guy certified mailed this verified, meaning sworn under the penalty of perjury affidavit
00:34:49.880
But why has there not even been an on-the-record denial?
00:34:53.780
And it compounds what we saw at the debate, which we know with our own eyes, irrespective
00:34:57.340
of whistleblower, was a negligent attempt at journalism.
00:35:02.420
Irrespective of the whistleblower, you just took the words out of my mouth.
00:35:05.540
I looked at Susie Wiles, who runs a campaign for us, and she was sitting right next to me
00:35:09.920
I was about 30 feet away from my father, just in a room right next door.
00:35:12.980
And Susie and I were watching, and I guess she had the questions.
00:35:15.180
You can just tell the way she was answering them, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
00:35:18.900
I mean, it's almost like, I mean, you must have rehearsed him.
00:35:28.360
And by the way, to your first part of the question is, those would have been the first
00:35:31.760
questions that any illogical person would have, any fair, impartial person would have
00:35:36.840
You know, your own state of California has gone to hell, right?
00:35:41.740
You've got fentanyl crisis, the likes of which you've never seen.
00:35:45.580
It's been the largest migration of people out of a state in the history of the United
00:35:55.040
You can't walk a block in San Francisco without walking across a hypodermic needle.
00:35:58.660
Like, why should people trust you to run the United States of America, which is much
00:36:07.480
My seven-year-old son would have thought of that question.
00:36:12.680
For the last three and a half years, you've been saying that the guy was incredibly sharp.
00:36:15.900
He was a modern-day, you know, Winston Churchill.
00:36:19.560
And then he comes downstage and the entire world sees that he was none of those things.
00:36:23.420
So you effectively lied to the American people for three and a half years.
00:36:33.580
Or, you know, Mrs. Potentially, you know, President of the United States.
00:36:37.360
These would be the most obvious questions to answer.
00:36:40.000
Of course, they're not going to do that because they're in bed with her campaign.
00:36:47.160
The local ABC, the local ABC anchor who questioned Kamala Harris over the weekend in an interview
00:36:51.520
and brings up the topic of guns, not by saying, you're on camera supporting a mandatory gun
00:36:57.220
buyback program, by saying, share your values on guns.
00:37:03.760
And when she totally denies that she wants to take anybody's guns, there's no follow-up, Eric.
00:37:08.240
There's, it's just, the journalistic malfeasance is ubiquitous.
00:37:13.880
Megan, how about the fact that her vice presidential candidate said that, you know,
00:37:18.240
he obviously ran on the platform putting tampons on meals bathrooms in, you know, in Minnesota.
00:37:22.980
I mean, how about the fact that he comes out and says, you know, we're very serious about border
00:37:26.000
security, yet he's the guy that said that if Donald Trump builds a 25-foot tall wall,
00:37:29.840
he's going to build a ladder factory in Mexico to build 30-foot ladders so everybody can come
00:37:35.240
I mean, they don't call them on any of this stuff.
00:37:37.760
I mean, this is insanity to the American people.
00:37:40.740
You know, this isn't, these aren't foreign rights issues.
00:37:43.860
I guarantee you, if you pull tampons at boys' bathrooms, high school bathrooms, and you
00:37:48.720
pull that across the country, 99% of people would just say, this is, this is insane.
00:37:59.460
We now have body camera footage of the arrest of this suspect, Ryan Ruth.
00:38:44.600
Um, FYI, more information coming in about how long he was at the golf course beginning
00:38:50.340
According to the police affidavit in support of the arrest, uh, he was there.
00:38:55.980
Yeah, it looks like his cell phone was there from 1.59 a.m.
00:39:04.220
It, it looks like they are suggesting at least his cell phone and possibly he were there.
00:39:09.700
They, the two of them together were there for 12 hours.
00:39:12.240
And there you can see the police doing the, exactly what they ought to do.
00:39:15.600
So far, he's been charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, a convicted
00:39:19.140
felon, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
00:39:22.440
However, the scary thing here is if those charges don't get amped up, this guy could potentially
00:39:28.740
Um, I don't know, but it just underscores the level of danger your dad was facing yesterday.
00:39:39.320
I mean, people are charged with the unlawful possession of firearm all the time, right?
00:39:43.680
You know, the guy didn't have a serial number on his gun.
00:39:45.380
I mean, the guy wanted to assassinate a person who was beloved by hundreds of millions of
00:39:49.840
Americans, a guy who was a great commander in chief of this nation, a guy who's probably
00:39:53.540
the most iconic person, one of the biggest brands anywhere in the world.
00:39:58.660
He was there in the morning, uh, as you said, likely there for 12 hours.
00:40:02.380
Um, you know, and you get charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, Megan, come on, you
00:40:11.780
I'm sure there'll be federal charges and other things, but you know, I, I would have thought
00:40:14.560
that those charges would have been a hell of a lot more significant than that.
00:40:17.640
And believe me, if you better believe that they would have been more significant than
00:40:23.240
Thank you for all your time, all the best to your family, to your dad, your kids.
