00:00:36.780
they're they're lovely that one particularly is really really delicious so we're not being paid
00:00:42.260
to say it but we're just trying to be nice so if if you want some energy drinks that are supposedly

the rumble rant thing so if you want to send rant rumble rants and have them read out at the end
00:00:57.920
of the segment rather than uh when we read out the comments then do so please but anyway i suppose we
00:01:07.120
may as well address the elephant in the room and that is the trump assassination so there are a few
00:01:12.840
events that will go down in the history books i think regarding american politics there's the 2001
00:01:18.960
attacks on the world trade center the 2008 financial crisis the election of donald trump in 2016
00:01:25.780
the covid pandemic and the lockdowns of 2020 onwards and then there was the 13th of july 2024
00:01:32.460
when former president donald trump was giving a speech in butler pennsylvania or at least near it
00:01:40.340
and then an assassin tried to kill him and he got away with his life by the skin of his ear i suppose
00:01:48.940
you could say and i'm going to play the full video um this is coverage from ntd i believe um supposedly
00:01:56.340
this is the best you can find and it's certainly the best i've been able to find of what actually
00:02:00.720
happened so i'm going to play it and then we're going to talk about all of the important details
00:02:05.000
if you want to really see something that said take a look at what happened
00:03:41.400
basically he gets bundled off into a car and that's the end of it taken to safety
00:03:59.840
well i think everyone's probably seen this already um it's safe to say that that was
00:04:07.760
one of the most amazing pieces of video footage i've ever seen
00:04:25.840
he doesn't know he's not going to catch another bullet
00:04:43.160
but like seeing those planes fly into the world trade centers
00:04:55.600
obviously it's one of the most obvious things to say about it
00:05:04.640
