00:05:37.000It's actually started today right here in Florida, and we are in the final sprint to deliver a major MAGA victory with a side of McDonald's fries.

00:06:37.000You can get it on Apple Podcasts if you miss the show here on Rumble.
00:06:40.000And for all of the top headlines that we'll spotlight here on the show, go over to my news app, MXM News, where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
00:07:37.000I mean, listen, the latest official inflation report came as quite a surprise to many analysts.
00:07:43.000Can you explain what's happening with inflation right now?
00:07:46.000You know, I don't even like to call it inflation because for those who, you know, may not do this every day, I call it the Kamala Harris, Joe Biden cost of living crisis.
00:07:56.000You know, what do you think what's going on with this?
00:07:58.000Well, first of all, I think it's a much better way to describe it.
00:08:01.000But, yeah, we're seeing another surge in inflation.
00:08:04.000Last month, the Fed cut interest rates by half a percent, using the cooling labor market as the excuse, saying it was a bigger economic risk than inflation.
00:08:13.000And of course, the very next report came in much higher, right?
00:08:40.000And I mean, when we talk about the cost of living crisis, you know, I see the vehicles came down to two, three points, but relative to five years ago, they're still up 15, 20 percent.
00:08:48.000I mean, you know, I bought a pickup truck this year and I'm like, wait a second.
00:08:51.000I mean, it feels like it was double the last time I looked for a car.
00:08:53.000I mean, so, you know, they tend to do that.
00:09:14.000But inflationary pressure comes from everywhere.
00:09:16.000The big one, the elephant in the room is, of course, government spending.
00:09:20.000And if we talk about the one thing that Biden and Kamala can do very well, it is spend money in a wasteful fashion.
00:09:26.000Seven trillion dollars of deficit spending has directly compounded to much higher prices.
00:09:32.000Of course, we have illegal immigration.
00:09:34.000We have illegal immigrants now competing for food, fuel, housing, Less than half of the illegal immigrants who've entered the country in the last two years are currently working, so they're putting a strain on resources.
00:09:46.000Of course, the warmongers, we have wars in the Middle East, contributing to higher prices, both in oil and a significant increase in international shipping costs.
00:09:56.000So multiple factors compounding now to create the problem that we're seeing today.
00:10:02.000I mean, I saw that recent New York Fed survey revealed that two in three American households are living paycheck to paycheck already.
00:11:38.000We need to head on another trajectory.
00:11:40.000But, you know, it's going to be a tough job.
00:11:43.000And I think, you know, Only Trump can do it.
00:11:46.000So we expect gold prices to continue to rise into next year on the back of inflation, which I think will be sticky, and a continued drop in demand for US dollars globally.
00:11:56.000So everybody out there should be looking at precious metals as a hedge, at the very least.
00:12:02.000Well, guys, you know, Philip, thank you very much.
00:18:08.000These are the people that will stymie the MAGA agenda if they win their Senate seats.
00:18:12.000So make sure you're voting for Dave McCormick.
00:18:15.000But again, It is telling that radical leftist Democrats are now even aligning with Donald Trump in the keystone state, and arguably the keystone state to this election.
00:18:27.000And in Wisconsin, it's the same story.
00:19:28.000He has been a down-the-line partisan Democrat during his entire time.
00:19:31.000He didn't actually defend Pennsylvania manufacturers, which is why I think Dave McCormick is ultimately going to win that race.
00:19:37.000But the politics of this are fascinating, because you notice Dave McCormick and Eric Hubdi, they're not running ads about how much they agree with Kamala Harris.
00:19:46.000It's the Democratic candidates who are running ads about how much they agree with Donald Trump.
00:19:50.000I think it suggests that what we've seen in our polling for weeks, what I think Kamala Harris has seen in her polling for weeks, is that Kamala Harris's policies just aren't popular.
00:20:00.000So people are trying to run away from it as much as they possibly can.
00:20:03.000This is a person, Kamala Harris, who cast a deciding vote on trillions of dollars in new spending, who signed on to the open border policies of the last three and a half years.
00:20:13.000Now she's trying to run as a change agent.
00:20:19.000We will get even more of the bad policies in the last three and a half years if we promote her to president.
00:20:24.000It's why I think the American people are going to make Donald Trump the president of the United States in just two short weeks.
00:20:30.000Now, there was also a moment last week on CNN that tells you everything about the modern Democrat Party and how they're just so disconnected from day-to-day life, from what every American experiences on a day-to-day basis.
00:20:45.000For example, Brian Stelter, Thinks it's misinformation, guys.
00:21:03.000My point is that a lot of people look at how much money we've spent on this conflict, and they're asking themselves, my roads are crumbling, my schools suck, we just had major disasters across the country, FEMA doesn't have enough money allocated.
00:21:14.000I don't live in that country, by the way.
00:22:04.000If I go back home to the People's Republic of New York, I drive down some of the richest retail corners in the world and it's like driving in Afghanistan.
00:22:14.000We're like 28th or 29th in the world in schools educating our children while spending more per capita than any other country, but Brian says, it's great where he lives, and I'm sure it is, guys.
00:22:27.000The liberal elite are disconnected and think that's just because their personal life is nice and it's easy and they're protected.
00:22:38.000That everyone else must be doing great too.
00:22:41.000The reality is the country is worse off in the past four years as wages haven't kept up with inflation.
00:23:28.000Now, we've talked about it, frankly, nonstop.
00:23:32.000Kamala Harris' failure at the border and the flood of illegal immigrant criminals and the drugs.
00:23:38.000But one thing I haven't touched on much is what's happening on the other side of the border.
00:23:43.000It's not getting much attention, but there's a full-blown cartel war going on in Mexico right now.
00:23:50.000In the month of September alone, more than 50 people were killed in Sinaloa.
00:23:56.000It's not just, like, gang violence there, folks.
00:23:59.000The cartels there are armed like a real army.
00:24:02.000In many cases, far better armed than the Mexican army itself, because they're making billions and billions of dollars, killing our children, smuggling their fentanyl and their drugs, and sex trafficking young girls and boys and everything else.
00:24:20.000Here's a video of a cartel member trying to shoot down a Mexican helicopter with a .50 caliber rifle.
00:24:45.000There's no reason to have an open border when you're next door to a war zone.
00:25:50.000I would ask them honest questions, and they ask them, why are you and JD Vance making up stories about people who are in this country legally, putting them at risk, spreading disgusting, untrue stories about folks in Springfield, Ohio, Aurora, Colorado?
00:28:03.000We have to secure our border and protect our nation.
00:28:09.000And speaking of those who've protected our nation, have you been paying attention to what's been going on inside our own Veterans Affairs hospitals?
00:28:16.000Do you want to know where your taxpayer dollars are going?
00:28:27.000from the Department of Veteran Affairs under Kamala Harris that was released just this August.
00:28:34.000Kamala Harris is spending money on weird cartoons about interrogating veterans on their pronouns and their gender identity.
00:28:43.000Instead of making sure our heroic veterans actually get the care they need, this is where their priorities are.
00:28:50.000On their pronouns, on their gender identities, to the people suffering from PTSD or lost limbs, I have a feeling that's the last thing they could care less about.
00:29:31.000As the LGBTQ plus veteran care coordinator, one of the things I do is help educate staff.
00:29:37.000I heard from providers during the staff meeting that we are asking veterans about their sexual orientation, and I'd like to learn more about VA policy and best practices.
00:29:47.000In VA, we use the acronym LGBTQ +, to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and additional identities.
00:30:53.000Think of how insane that whole thing is.
00:30:55.000It's totally unnecessary, but this is your taxpayer dollars at work.
00:30:59.000This is what Kamala Harris's future administration would prioritize rather than, I don't know, being ready for war, actually training our troops, taking care of our veterans.
00:33:55.000There's a bigger story here, and we're going to keep digging because our veterans deserve so much better than to have woke medicine impact their care.
00:34:05.000And speaking of there being a much bigger story, today the White House Task Force released their preliminary report on the July 13th assassination attempt of my father in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:34:15.000The task force found that would-be assassin crooks Had been under scrutiny by the Secret Service's state and local partners for roughly 40 minutes before, quote, information about a suspicious person, end of quote, reached the Secret Service command post.
00:34:42.000It said that three local law enforcement officers noticed trucks around 5 p.m.
00:34:46.000Eastern, each independently deducing his behavior and manner were suspicious.
00:34:51.000But then a back and forth ensued among local and state units with communications made difficult by a lack of a central command system with Secret Service.
00:35:01.000Also something that does not ever happen.
00:35:04.000Unless, of course, it was intentional.
00:36:12.000Joining me now, guys, a good friend of the show, the author of Bulletproof, How a Shot Meant for Donald Trump Took Out Joe Biden, Jack Posobiec.
00:36:42.000If we don't win, he'll be in the cell next to me in the gulags, and I'll learn everything there is to know about putting people into space and electric batteries.
00:37:16.000You mean Admiral Rachel Levine isn't going to keep us safe from the Chinese invasion?
00:37:22.000Oh, no, they're just going to sell us out.
00:37:23.000They're just going to – so China will just come in and buy us out, and they'll be the guards, or we'll probably just get shipped over there.
00:38:28.000But what Elon was saying was, Was the whole thing about it is he thinks Pennsylvania is that important and everyone has talked about how PA is the tipping point state.
00:39:07.000What do you see there on the ground right now?
00:39:11.000Does it line up with what I'm seeing in North Carolina where Republican districts are crawling through broken glass to vote early and get going and all of that stuff?
00:41:35.000So what you do is it's not like It's like a de facto in-person early voting because what you do is you go into the county board of elections and you say, I'd like to request a ballot.
00:41:43.000You request the ballot, but they don't mail it because you're there.
00:42:56.000We can't take anything for granted or we can't take anything for chance.
00:43:00.000And to be fair to my fellow Pennsylvanians, because this education has gone on now and because of the work of the great people like Scott Pressler, who's come into the state now and has been barnstorming, Cliff Maloney with the PHAs, Turning Point Action, getting in there, and just what I've been doing now, Elon's on top.
00:43:19.000It is double What it was in 2020 for the Republicans.
00:43:24.000So people keep asking me, why is the split so low for Republicans in PA compared to the other swing states, the other six of the seven?
00:43:31.000And I say, well, because we just never did it before.
00:43:36.000But it's way running ahead of where it used to be.
00:43:39.000And the Democrats, dirty little secret, they don't want to tell anybody, it's way down.
00:43:43.000So the Democrats think that they can build a firewall of about 400,000 votes prior to Election Day.
00:43:49.000And then so if they build that 400,000 vote firewall, that whatever the red tsunami that comes in on Election Day in-person voting will not be enough to overcome it.
00:43:59.000What I'm saying is, If we can whittle away that firewall so that it's as thin as possible on Election Day, then when all the Republicans do show up to vote, because I think it's just what's going to happen, despite the way I tell everybody, that we'll be able to smash through it.
00:44:13.000So every time you get someone to vote early, you're making that firewall thinner and thinner and thinner.
00:44:20.000I did, you know, seven events the other day with Charlie Kirk out there.
00:44:24.000And we were there and we did, you know, towards the end of the evening, we had before the ASU frat party event where we had like a thousand coeds showing up with ballots.
00:44:47.000So I am happy to take one for the team.
00:44:50.000The Trump genes run strong as it relates to these things, so I'm not afraid, but...
00:44:53.000You know, we saw the early voting numbers and it was like through the roof and I'm like, crap, I hope we didn't just, you know, shoot it all out there with all our guys.
00:45:01.000And then we did this sort of event, you know, real high propensity voters, about a thousand people in a room.
00:45:06.000And we asked like, hey, raise your hand if you've early voted.
00:45:11.000Like, we're turning out people that aren't even early voters for record days.
00:45:15.000And so, like, our highest propensity voters still haven't gone.
00:45:18.000So that was a really good sign for us in Arizona.
00:45:21.000And the flip side of that is, what are the Democrats doing to build that firewall?
00:45:25.000Like, in Pennsylvania, and they're doing the other states as well.
00:45:28.000In order to do that, they're cannibalizing their high propensity voters.
00:45:33.000So they're cannibalizing the high propensity voters.
00:45:36.000All of these people that we're going to right now, everyone, PHA's Trump First 47, early vote action with Scott Pressler, they're all going to low propensity only.
00:45:46.000And I'm working with all the various groups.
00:45:48.000So these low prop voters, these are people who probably wouldn't have voted anyway.
00:45:53.000Which means, just like you say, there's still that 95% of high-prop voters that's sitting there to come in like the sledgehammer on Election Day.
00:46:02.000Now, am I saying it's absolutely going to happen?
00:46:03.000I don't know, quite frankly, because we've never tried, we've never run this play before.
00:46:07.000This is like brand new, make it up as we go along.
00:46:11.000But I'm seeing the machine in action, and it's humming along, but people need to start to, what, two weeks left, people need to keep firing on this.
00:46:22.000And so I think early voting in Pennsylvania runs until about, I think it's the Saturday before, don't quote me on that, but I think it's the first.
00:46:31.000And so just everyone you can, just 10x your vote, and after you voted, just Bank it and then start driving people over there.
00:46:37.000Drag them kicking and screaming to vote.
00:46:52.000That was, you know, I mean, that's a very blue area, very Democrat, sort of former blue-collar Democrat area, and yet the welcoming at the Steelers game If that's indicative, can you take one of those blue areas at least significantly off the field to let the middle of the state do its thing and get us over the top?
00:47:13.000Well it's it's huge and so the city of Pittsburgh proper which is the heart of Allegheny County it's I mean that's as blue as can be but then you got people like Antonio Brown you got the other Steelers coming in and obviously going to the game itself a game by the way where even though you know I know Aaron Rodgers is kind of our guy he took a pounding in that game when DJT came out for the Steelers and it was cool watching Rodgers play I gotta say that even as a non-Consylvanian I mean that dude like he fires laser bolts from his hands Just insane level of skill,
00:47:42.000but wasn't enough to match the Steelers because they got the DJT endorsement.
00:48:12.000They're called the Steelers because of U.S. Steel.
00:48:16.000The whole movement, the whole argument is about turning that machine back on and instead of turning into this like, you know, what was Obama trying to do?
00:48:26.000We're going to make it a tech hub and he held like one of the World Bank meetings there and he brought everybody in and we're going to change the nature of Pittsburgh.
00:48:33.000I don't think those people want to change, right?
00:48:35.000I've gone out there and I've met them.
00:48:50.000We've exported the American dream to the rest of the world.
00:48:52.000They're living it while we're getting crushed.
00:48:54.000Like, this shouldn't be rocket science, but, you know, people are starting to wake up.
00:48:58.000I just hope they wake up in time for November 5th to be able to do all of this and to be able to get it over the top so we have a chance to actually, you know, have our kids live that dream, too.
00:49:07.000And I'll just say this, you know, walking around, you know, myself, and I was there with, you know, my brother, and ALX, and all those guys, and we were all wearing our MAGA hats, and people were coming up, slapping high fives, people were asking for selfies, you know, and it wasn't like, in 2016, you wear a MAGA hat in one of those blue areas, and it's like, you're squaring up, you know, you're like getting You're getting ready to go, which, of course, led to a number of viral encounters on my part, which I used to great effect.
00:49:57.000I was joking with Charlie when I was out in Arizona.
00:49:59.000You know, go to a couple of areas where, you know, you think it's going to be more hostile or you go to a college campus or you go to this.
00:50:06.000In 16, I was actually so much more on my game because when you have that sort of aggressive, anti-person doing it, you get quick and snappy.
00:50:29.000I feel like I'm off my game in the sense that I haven't had to be on the defensive all the time for the first time in nine years.
00:50:37.000I had a journalist ask me recently, and I don't even remember where it was from, but they said, You know, they said, well, Donald, it was right after the assassination attempt, the first one.
00:50:48.000And, you know, and they said, well, he's talking, remember, unity was the big word.
00:51:30.000And it's been very clear literally from moment one.
00:51:34.000It's just you guys lied to half the country and now they're finally, and I have to say because of the efforts of like of Elon buying X and then coming on board and so many RFK just unlikely supporters now joining the movement that people are starting kind of like wake up from the brainwashing.
00:52:19.000That's what allowed us to do the deals that we did.
00:52:21.000But, you know, I guess, speaking of the media, I mean, in my opening, I talked about, you know, Rush Limbaugh and how he used to always basically talk about, you know, the drive-by media.
00:52:31.000But yesterday, we literally had a drive-through press conference and drive-through politics.
00:52:39.000What was your reaction to my father at McDonald's?
00:52:42.000I guess that was in eastern Pennsylvania.
00:52:44.000Yeah, so that's, I mean, that's Trevos, Feasterville.
00:52:47.000That's about not even 20 minutes from where I grew up, where I think I've been to that McDonald's a couple of times.
00:52:53.000So that's like right on the border of like Box County and where the city line is in Northern Philadelphia.
00:52:58.000But it was beyond a Pennsylvania thing.
00:53:01.000It was beyond a Philly thing, obviously, because it was even in a way, and this is something I've been like, people keep saying that that photo of him waving outside the window with the apron on, Blue-collar billionaire and doing something for the working man.
00:53:19.000For a lot of kids out there, especially in working class backgrounds, working in retail and specifically in food services is like a rite of passage.
00:53:33.000When you're in college and you need to work a shift or waiting tables or something, whatever.
00:53:39.000That's just something that everybody does.
00:53:41.000And so to see a guy like that, who's done everything and could be doing anything with his time, come in and work the fryer, it's just showing respect to the common man and the common woman out there.
00:53:54.000But then when he did that wave outside the window and people looked at that photo, they said it just hit people.
00:54:49.000And I'll just say this to everybody out there, that wouldn't you like if you had a president of the United States that treated our country and our fellow citizens as well as that guy treated those French fries yesterday?
00:55:20.000And he was like, so I'm going to take that clip, by the way.
00:55:23.000So the next time I go to McDonald's and I order some fries and when they skimp me on the fries, I'm going to be like, excuse me, excuse me.
00:55:29.000This is what it's supposed to look like.
00:55:46.000We're pretending that Kamala Harris reading her talking points off a teleprompter isn't designed to be a stump.
00:55:52.000She's just not able to do it genuinely.
00:55:54.000I'm even watching a couple of the liberals Who you and I probably don't get along with, you know, Sank and some of these other people like they're like, if you guys don't realize that that was genius, you're you haven't learned anything in nine years.
00:56:07.000But they're they're melting down just like they did after the first assassination attempt.
00:56:11.000They're trying to blame my father somehow for this.
00:56:14.000Are we seeing literally their their minds malfunction in real time?
00:56:19.000Because if they don't get that, that was to your point, like the Norman Rockwell, you know, hang that thing in the Louvre.
00:56:57.000That deep down, they know exactly how powerful that is.
00:57:01.000And they know that they are the ones that took our country from being a successful country in the 80s, in the 90s, and turned it into what it is now.
00:57:10.000And turned it into this, remember the managed decline?
00:57:18.000And what he showed was you can have greatness.
00:57:23.000You can have greatness in every facet of American life.
00:57:28.000You can have greatness from the highest level of the land, the presidency and the Oval Office, to the pinnacle of business and the richest man in the world, even down to the lowliest of positions, making a french fry at a random McDonald's.
00:57:45.000You can do it with greatness, because greatness is a way in which you carry yourself when you have respect for yourself.
00:57:56.000Well, I mean, talk about, I mean, it does feel like, you know, in the choices that we have these days and the choices that we make, most people don't even think about it.
00:58:03.000To your point, it's like we're just going to choose to take the L early.
00:58:07.000You know, we see that when we're, you know, negotiating trade deals.
00:58:10.000You know, we go in with the bare minimum rather than using our economic might to maybe leverage something better.
00:58:16.000We're like, well, that's not realistic, so we won't even attempt it.
00:58:19.000You know, talk about the difference of that, because it does feel like We've become so complacent in everything that we do as America that we're choosing at best mediocrity as opposed to excellence.
00:58:36.000And that's a cultural phenomenon and a serious problem.
00:59:25.000And so, in the elimination of standards, I saw this when I was in the military, that when the standards go away and they said, well, we need less standards because we need more of this demographic group or we need more of this demographic group or this gender or whatever it is, you're lowering standards and you're changing.
00:59:40.000First, it starts with the physical standards, then it starts with the grooming standards.
00:59:43.000By the way, I could go on for an hour about the grooming standards in the military right now.
00:59:48.000You see people walking around and they've got like long hair and beards and it's all flopping all over the place.
01:00:39.000I'm sure that he has great access to some of the finest things, but it doesn't matter.
01:00:42.000He's more concerned about DEI or the eventual board seat at Disney World.
01:00:48.000Your former military intelligence, when I see a relaxation of standards in any capacity, whether it's intellectual, whether it's the grooming standards, whether it's the physical standards, To be able to create some sort of fake machination.
01:01:03.000You see this in the Air Force, where like, well, we need 50%, you know, XYZ pilots.
01:01:07.000I'm like, but they don't make up 50% of the population.
01:01:09.000You're trying to make up for back time.
01:01:11.000I mean, it doesn't feel like China would do that.
01:01:15.000And if you end up in an eventual war, or if you would end up in a serious conflict with some of these enemies, and they're putting forth their best, and we're putting forth You know, not so much.
01:01:27.000It's a serious problem and is clearly reflected in the recruiting numbers because who's going to go fight a war where your life is on the line when you know you're already starting at a disadvantage?
01:01:49.000You know, and if like, if they're like, well, you know, if you're like, or I was listening to a podcast earlier, I'm going to an event with Ben Carson later today.
01:01:58.000And it's like, it's like, you go to me like, do you want a white neurosurgeon or a black neurosurgeon?
01:02:03.000I'm like, I want the best neurosurgeon.
01:02:05.000And it just so happens that Ben Collins, he's there not because of his race.
01:02:11.000He's there because he's the best neurosurgeon in the country.
01:02:31.000And so When I think about greatness, that's what America just used to be.
01:02:37.000We used to always put greatness first.
01:02:39.000And it didn't matter if you're working a fried cook, or if you're running the military, or if you're fighting World War II, God forbid, fighting World War III, right?
01:03:15.000And so, it's like, we have just traded away all of the great things that we had as a country And I do believe that all of this, it's a cascade.
01:03:26.000So it's a cascade down from the top down.
01:03:28.000And that's why you're like, how come nothing works anymore?
01:03:56.000Yeah, you guys gotta go check that out.
01:03:58.000You know, so yeah, I got to write the foreword, got to read the book and check it out.
01:04:03.000But I know the book questions sort of the official narrative about the first assassination attempt, but it also connects the dots between...
01:04:13.000The resiliency of America first passion in Butler that we saw yesterday in Bucks County as well at the drive-thru window.
01:04:45.000But I also, when I saw him come up defiant, you know, I've known my dad for a long time.
01:04:48.000I've been really impressed with the way he looks at it.
01:04:51.000I think I probably have an understanding of his worldview better than probably about anyone.
01:04:54.000And yet, the first thing I said to him after seeing that was like, you know what, that was the most badass thing I've ever seen.
01:05:01.000And I meant it because, you know, I know he's tough.
01:05:04.000I know, you know, other people know he's tough.
01:05:06.000Whether it's Putin or Xi, there's a reason he kept them in place before they witnessed that.
01:05:10.000But because of the narrative of America, because of the media, You know, if there was anyone else left questioning, I think that settled the score, right?
01:05:18.000These days, everyone's a tough guy on the internet, right?
01:05:21.000And yet there's a reason you and I, like, I don't know that I've had anyone confront me in, you know, years, you know, out in the public as, you know, everyone's a tough guy until they're actually face to face with someone who may actually be tougher than them or they're not sure.
01:05:33.000That was sort of the, that dispelled any notions that he wasn't in fact that guy.
01:05:38.000And I think it's, for me, when have you ever seen or heard of in a military context, law enforcement, or even in a movie where the bullets are still flying and you don't know if there's other snipers or what else is going on because you already had one and who knows if there's two or three or four and you see a guy, rather than scurry off to run to the van, he doesn't do that.
01:06:10.000It's inexplicable because as the bullets are flying, as there's no idea if the danger has ended, he doesn't just stand his ground.
01:06:18.000He stands all the way up, puts his fist in the air, and is like, you want me?
01:08:42.000And, you know, I mean, you know, your dad's a lot of things, but, you know, I don't know that humble would be, you know, on the top of the list.
01:08:50.000There's many things, I don't know if that's one of them, but, you know, a little bit of humble every once in a while.
01:08:55.000But it is, there's this biblical idea that when God He wants to create a great leader, whether that's David or Solomon.
01:09:06.000You see these stories throughout the Bible, Saul becoming the Apostle Paul, that he humbles them.
01:09:12.000So he teaches them the lesson of humility in the first instance.
01:09:17.000And if they accept that lesson and then they accept the task which is set before them, that is when they receive the greatest strength to go on and do the impossible.
01:09:31.000I kind of feel like, in a way, in a way, and, you know, call me nuts, whatever, you know, I don't care what they call me, right?
01:09:38.000But I believe that it was this moment that allowed the next moment to take place.
01:09:45.000And, you know, when we talk about that, and it's like, look, going into the security posture of it, you know, it's inexplicable.
01:09:52.000Twelve independent security failures we identify in this thing.
01:09:55.000And we go through chapter and verse, not only, the one that sticks out for me, Not only, of course, that the building wasn't covered, but the fact that there was an officer who dropped overwatch coverage of that roof just seven minutes before the shooter took those shots.
01:10:21.000And whether you say that's the relaxation of standards, or we use a phrase, intentional negligence, intentional negligence.
01:10:28.000Speaking of intentional negligence, I mean, I saw that there's a new report by the, I guess it's the House Task Force I was just going to mention that.
01:10:51.000You know, the head of their counter-sniper program on his own time used to come up, stay at my farm in PA, at my cabin to train because my range was better than what they had at Quantico.
01:11:39.000And there's no way that given the rigorous standards normally enforced by the Secret Service that all of these failures, you know, if you have one failure, it's one thing, but this is You know, an aggregation of dozens of failures, to your point, sort of, you know, intentional negligence.
01:11:55.000We actually turned all that into a, and by the way, yeah, let me see, that's a boot camp shot, right?
01:12:14.000Yeah, so if you have a pretty good level of training, if you do it enough, perishable skill, all that, you can make that shot with a rifle, with a red dot, EOTech, easiest shot in the world.
01:12:26.000Guys do it, like you said, pistol, bow, it's not that hard of a shot.
01:12:30.000So we took all those 12 independent failures, and everybody knows them, the drone, everything else.
01:12:36.000And then we said, what are the chances of all of that happening on a day that there was a trained marksman who had been at the range the day before, by the way, who had been at the range the day before, would show up and attempt to do this.
01:12:50.000And I plugged, and I was like, I don't trust myself, so I'm going to go to AI, and I'm going to go to GPT for Omni.
01:12:56.000And this was like a little social experiment we kind of ran.
01:12:59.000Plugged it all in, that the odds literally are one in one septillion, which the same odds as flipping a coin 93 times in a row and it comes up heads every time.
01:13:19.000This probability suggests that the occurrence of all of these failures and the presence of the shooter is extraordinarily unlikely by chance alone, raising serious questions as to about whether these events were truly random.
01:13:34.000That's GP24OMNI. And so what did we find in the House report?
01:13:38.000The site lead for this event had only graduated FLETC, which is like the academy that Secret Service and others go to, only graduated FLETC four years ago.
01:14:29.000I mean, it's over and over again, right?
01:14:31.000The true domestic terror threat in their mind is a concerned, you know, mother at a PTA meeting questioning the indoctrination of their children with woke BS at schools.
01:15:08.000This isn't like it was one time, one person.
01:15:11.000They've been talking about this for the last four years.
01:15:14.000So because we have that Lack of trust.
01:15:18.000We went and, as you know, we hired our own private investigator Team that's licensed in Pennsylvania, and they've been running their own independent report on all of this.
01:15:30.000And we've got them going through Butler, PA, and then down into Bethel Park where this guy lived.
01:15:35.000And the first report that they've compiled for us, which is the preliminary report, is in this book.
01:15:43.000I've got, Don, I've got the actual sign-in sheets from the gun range that he was going to are in here.
01:15:50.000And we're not doxing everybody who was there, but we've got him.
01:15:53.000And, in fact, most of the times that he went to the gun range, he went with somebody else, that somebody else was there.
01:16:00.000We've also got more information on the IEDs and the question of, I was a kid who, 1500 SAT, very intelligent individual, How did you get the idea to make IEDs out of ammo cans?
01:16:15.000Not pipe bombs, not pressure cookers like the Wisconsin Bombers, but out of ammo cans.
01:16:20.000Well, more important, how do you have a radicalized 20-year-old, so radicalized they literally tried to assassinate I guess it wasn't the nominee at the time, but the presumptive nominee of the party until about five days later, but that has no online footprint whatsoever, has no social media footprint, has seemingly never been on a computer.
01:17:34.000And by the way, you look at a Trump rally and who's there in the crowd.
01:17:39.000It's like EMT, police officer, veteran, firefighter.
01:17:44.000You know, like, that's the type of people that you get when you go to a Trump rally in Western Pennsylvania who are just randomly there.
01:17:50.000And by the way, that was the VIP section, because after he missed the first shot, he started spraying and praying, and that's why he was hitting people in there.
01:17:57.000And, you know, I just want a sense of, you know, another sense, kind of going back to what we were talking about, those are the people who are considered VIPs at a Trump rally, like the regular working class.
01:18:09.000It's a little different than the Kamala Harris.
01:18:11.000A little different than having Lizzo, Whatever else out there.
01:18:16.000But when we dig into it, we do a device analysis, we find devices that he was contacting in, burner devices that he may have been in contact with.
01:18:26.000And so there's a lot of information out there that people don't know.
01:18:30.000The Western District of Pennsylvania, so the U.S. Attorney out there, Eric Olshan, has actually commissioned a grand jury into all of this.
01:18:37.000Now, the question, of course, why would you commission a grand jury if the perpetrator is already dead?
01:18:42.000It looks, and I can't say this definitively yet, it looks as though there are indications they may be building a case against his father.
01:18:52.000And the question then, of course, becomes if they're doing that, is it because they think that his father just knew about it or potentially That played some role in this radicalization.
01:19:02.000Again, I don't have the direct evidence on that, but I do have evidence, and it's in the book, that there is a grand jury open, and that, again, just something that, oh, you know, Politico's not talking about that, Washington Post's not talking about that, but like, Poso's got to find it out, so okay, I'm putting it out there.
01:19:16.000So we've got that, and then as all of this is going on, by the way, We put it all together.
01:19:21.000We finally get forward with you getting signed off on.
01:19:29.000And this guy, Ryan Wesley Ruth, who we do actually have right here, And it's like, I'm sitting there going, all right, so let's look this guy up.
01:19:36.000I take the picture of Ryan Ruth, who's, you know, hanging out outside of Mar-a-Lago and hanging out outside of the West Palm Beach Golf Club, which is where I know your daughter is, like, frequency, you've said.
01:19:48.000And, you know, he's 12 hours sitting out there with an SKS with plates set up.
01:20:13.000Like this isn't just some random crazy person.
01:20:16.000This is someone who's crazy, but also had access.
01:20:18.000He's sitting there with Jose Andres and all of the radical leftists and all the Ukraine mob and all of the people in DC and some of the most powerful people in media.
01:20:28.000And the first video, though, that we found, and it popped up on the search results, it says, recruitment and support video for Bezov Battalion in Kiev, Ukraine.
01:20:52.000There's no way that he's involved with the Azov Battalion, which was this, like, neo-Nazi CIA training, has done assassinations in Russia, by the way, total proxy war kind of thing.
01:21:04.000I'm like, I'm like, I'm turning into Alex Jones over here.
01:21:08.000Something's not adding up, or perhaps something is exactly the way that it looks.
01:21:14.000And it's very, very dark with this guy.
01:21:19.000And then to the point, though, what's even crazier is I get this information a couple of days before we put it in the book.
01:21:26.000Then when we go to print, I didn't even know that on the Monday after all of that, the DOJ would release a letter Which was essentially a dead man's letter that he had written one month prior that handed to a neighbor and said, you know, put this out if something happens to me.
01:21:50.000And the DOJ releases publicly that there is a that it says this would have failed assassination attempt, but someone else can complete the job.
01:22:02.000And if they do, there will be a $150,000 reward to do so.
01:22:08.000Ron, you've got more experience in the FBI than anyone I know who's not in the FBI. If you don't have a general habit or a general practice of just releasing documents unredacted, Or to essentially encourage, you know, future hostile actions.
01:22:26.000I mean, you know, for everything they've called us over the last few years, I mean, that's probably the most aggressive, you know, de facto endorsement of an assassination attempt I've ever seen in my life.
01:22:37.000I was speaking to a lawyer on Rumble the other day, and he was saying, what possible reason would there be?
01:22:46.000And he said, legally, I could understand why they would want to prove intent.
01:22:51.000Because a good defense lawyer would say, oh, hey, that's just a guy in the bushes, and he's just hanging out.
01:22:59.000This is why I can't stand lawyers, by the way.
01:23:02.000And so with the letter, it proves intent.
01:23:03.000I said, okay, but then why wouldn't you just do it under a seal or redacted or something?
01:23:08.000And he said, Well, that's another kind of intent that we're seeing.
01:23:12.000That's also intent by releasing it to the public to let people know that there is a bounty out there, apparently, for Donald Trump.
01:23:20.000And this is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.
01:23:24.000I thought at first that the most disgusting thing that would happen during all of this, other than, you know, the assassination attempts, was Chris Wray lying about it when he was interviewed by the House and saying, oh, that was just some shrapnel from the, you know, from the teleprompter, which was it.
01:23:39.000Dude, there are photos of the bullet flying at the ear.
01:25:03.000Obviously, that was a pretty solid closing pitch for the book.
01:25:05.000What do you think the closing pitch is, Jack, for the next two weeks in everything else in our lives, in the election and for the future of our country?
01:25:14.000Look, I would really kind of go back to what I was saying before, is that you have a choice.
01:25:20.000And I don't just mean a choice between two candidates, but you have a choice for your future, and you have a choice for your children's future.
01:25:28.000When we turn on the news and we hear about, oh, we're sending another 8 billion here and another 8 billion there, Troops are being deployed to this place.
01:25:38.000And by the way, you always know when they want to deploy soldiers to combat because then they make, that's when they change it all to men again.
01:25:55.000And more importantly, we don't have to choose to be poor either because after World War II, it's kind of like, And certainly starting with NAFTA, it's like the US basically chose global empire over jobs and over being a strong country.
01:26:08.000So we would expend our power overseas at the detriment of anyone living in the middle of the country.
01:26:15.000It's like, sorry, your lives suck, but if you're someone who lives in one of the power centers, boy, you're living large now.
01:26:27.000We can have, it doesn't have to be Donald Trump serving you at the McDonald's to achieve that level of greatness.
01:26:33.000That you could be able to have that if you're just a regular Joe Moe American going in to your local McDonald's or wherever you want to go And by the way, I would hope that with RFK on board, we bring back the beef tallow for those fries.
01:26:47.000The beef tallow fries were actually a lot better than, you know, I still love McDonald's fries, but the childhood McDonald's fries were definitely better than once they made the switch.
01:27:23.000Do you want to live in a country that, I say this like Don, when you and I were kids, we had space ships.
01:27:29.000We had men going into space, and women going into space, and we were running missions, and then Obama came in and actually put those in warehouses.
01:27:37.000All the things that he did, I always said that was the one that really stuck with me the most, and I'll tell you why.
01:27:42.000Because it was like he took away the hope of America.
01:27:45.000He just took away that futuristic vision that we all had.
01:27:48.000And with the team that Trump has now, that's the team that I think will actually bring that back.
