00:00:00.780 Cole Thomas Allen.
00:00:02.860 What do we know about this guy?
00:00:04.440 Rob, you have the video of him running.
00:00:07.720 If you have the video of him running,
00:00:09.400 there's a surveillance camera showing this.
00:00:11.420 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:11.920 This is the guy.
00:00:12.740 He runs a 40, apparently in a 4-2-4-1.
00:00:15.640 He should go to the combine.
00:00:16.680 Watch this here.
00:00:17.400 The Jets want to talk to him.
00:00:17.900 How fast.
00:00:18.440 Even the president says this guy was running.
00:00:20.060 Look at him.
00:00:20.940 How fast he's running.
00:00:22.500 Okay?
00:00:23.260 Some said they shot him.
00:00:24.560 Some said he's dead.
00:00:25.380 He wasn't.
00:00:25.900 He did hurt his ankle.
00:00:27.440 They eventually did get him.
00:00:29.140 And then when the president was on stage with his wife, the first lady,
00:00:32.760 this is what was taking place.
00:00:34.020 They're having a conversation.
00:00:34.980 The mentalist is doing a, not this one, go to the other one, Rob.
00:00:38.340 You can see the president right there.
00:00:39.960 And then watch the first lady's reaction.
00:00:42.900 I think this is the, oh, this is a long one you have, Rob.
00:00:44.880 Does he get right into it?
00:00:45.760 Right off the bat.
00:00:46.200 Go for it.
00:00:46.740 Go for it.
00:00:47.140 So this is the president, first lady.
00:00:49.920 He's pulling a trick.
00:00:51.780 And you can tell president's very interested.
00:00:53.700 And the trick is Caroline Levitt's baby's name,
00:00:55.900 which I found out with the name that they...
00:00:58.300 Look, I thought it had my name
00:01:00.140 because you could see V on it.
00:01:01.100 Watch.
00:01:02.540 Watch this. 0.66
00:01:03.460 Guess her name. 0.98
00:01:04.080 Turn it.
00:01:05.280 Look at Trump.
00:01:05.820 He's really interested.
00:01:06.980 You're going to start to see
00:01:07.720 a loud noise.
00:01:09.660 Anything clanking.
00:01:10.600 They're shooting already.
00:01:11.560 The guy's already shooting.
00:01:13.260 You just heard it.
00:01:14.300 And look, they're shocked at the name.
00:01:15.720 Look, right now.
00:01:16.740 Whoa.
00:01:18.040 What's happening?
00:01:19.080 J.D. Vance is out.
00:01:20.540 The president's still there.
00:01:21.940 Oh, wow.
00:01:22.320 So it takes about 13 seconds.
00:01:25.900 to get him from the president, 20 seconds to get him out.
00:01:30.180 Took about 7, 8, or 10 seconds to get J.D. out.
00:01:33.220 There's a lot of speculation there.
00:01:34.500 Why did they get J.D. out of there before they got the president out of there?
00:01:37.820 And so this is all going on.
00:01:40.720 Now, here's the thing about what we know about the shooter, Thomas Allen Cole.
00:01:43.860 If you want to pull up his picture, Rob, Allen, having sent a 1,052-word anti-Trump manifesto to his family
00:01:53.900 roughly 10 minutes before the assault it is the third reporter time on the president's life
00:01:57.760 after 224 assassination attempts in pennsylvania and florida there were 2600 attendees at this
00:02:04.780 event everybody was there and as they're going through this whole thing cole allen attended
00:02:10.080 checked into the washington hilton as a registered hotel guest the day before on friday april 24th
00:02:16.460 and he wrote which i'll read to you the manifesto here in a minute rob if you want to pull it up
00:02:20.320 that's him. Alan was confronted by security near main metal detector screening area of Washington
00:02:25.920 Hilton at 8.36 p.m. He ran past the security checkpoint and fired at least one shot. CNN
00:02:32.100 ankle Wolf Blitzer, who was just outside the ballroom at the time, reported being only a few
00:02:36.960 feet from the gunman when the shots were fired. A very serious weapon. Alan himself sustained a knee
00:02:42.420 injury while he was going through it. Initial Secret Service agents fired approximately three
00:02:47.280 to four shots and Alan shot fired one he had a shotgun a handgun and multiple knives his sister
00:02:53.660 told investigators that Alan purchased two handguns and a shotgun from cap tactical firearms and stored
00:03:00.060 them in the family home without parents knowing about it and so his 31 years old hometown Torrance
00:03:06.460 he went to Caltech University if you know Caltech that's not an easy school to get into it's a very
00:03:11.380 very reputable school, Caltech.
00:03:14.460 He did intern at NASA in 2014.
00:03:16.560 Alan completed an internship at NASA working for Artificial Intelligence Models
00:03:19.900 for Planetary Mapping.
00:03:22.180 He was a part-time teacher, tutor at C2 Education in Torrance since 2020.
00:03:27.300 He was the Teacher of the Month in December of 2024.
00:03:32.340 Okay?
00:03:33.140 And so this is not like it's a regular guy.
00:03:35.840 Independent video game developer is who he was.
00:03:38.580 He gave $25 to Act Blue, the Democratic Party PAC, in October of 2024, directed towards Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
00:03:47.080 A yard sign at his family home endorsed a local judicial candidate backed by the L.A. County Democratic Party.
00:03:53.840 He was registered to vote without party affiliation.
00:03:57.120 He participated at the No Kings protests in California.
00:04:01.180 And social media accounts attributed to Allen containing anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric.
00:04:06.480 He frequently trained at a shooting range and had undergone firearms training.
00:04:10.660 His brother, residing in New London, Connecticut,
00:04:13.660 contacted the New London Police Department about Alan's manifesto.
00:04:17.420 However, that call came approximately two hours after the shooting had already occurred.
00:04:21.680 The brother was the family member who alerted law enforcement.
00:04:25.160 As of Monday, Alan has not cooperated in custody.
00:04:31.140 He's not talking to anybody whatsoever.
00:04:34.100 And as you're going through this in the manifesto, which I'll read here in a minute after getting the team's reaction,
00:04:39.940 there's a bunch of other things.
00:04:40.940 He's facing a minimum of 10 years in prison, up to 20 years.
00:04:45.760 Caroline Levitt stated, Alan sought to assassinate the president and kill as many top Trump officials as possible.
00:04:53.340 He came to this place on a Amtrak from L.A. to Chicago and then Chicago to D.C., not a flight.
00:05:01.560 So he used Amtrak while he's coming down here.
00:05:03.500 So, anyways, I'll pause right there before we read the manifesto and show a couple other clips because I'm going to get into that next.
00:05:08.580 Tom, your thoughts on how this happened and the story of it.
00:05:11.520 Well, I have two things to say.
00:05:12.620 One is clever.
00:05:13.960 The other is radicalized.
00:05:15.700 Clever.
00:05:16.360 Why did he take a train?
00:05:17.520 Because you would have to check bags and declare a weapon and have it in a locked weapons box.
00:05:22.700 Vinny, you and I have traveled, you know, with like a hunting gear, shotgun.
00:05:26.660 You have to have it in a locked box.
00:05:28.500 You check it in.
00:05:29.440 You declare it.
00:05:30.480 They inspect it, and then you get on the plane because obviously it's not your carry-on.
00:05:34.920 Well, he would have had to do that.
00:05:36.280 So the reason he takes the train, in my opinion and the opinion of people that have been analyzing this, he doesn't have to declare anything.
00:05:42.340 He just hides it.
00:05:43.280 He just puts it in his bag there, and he takes it in, takes his seat, and goes on the 72-hour train ride.
00:05:50.560 And so, number one, he seems very clever.
00:05:52.880 Number two, when you read the manifesto, he seems very clever.
00:05:55.600 But I'm going to put all that aside, Pat.
00:05:57.640 The word is radicalized.
00:05:59.600 This is a guy who, by all accounts, is smart.
00:06:03.560 You're not dumb to go into Caltech, and you're studying AI, and you're working with NASA,
00:06:07.240 and you're working with high-end things, and now you're a teacher.
00:06:10.400 And the teachers in L.A., whether you're in Manhattan Beach or Hermosa Beach or, you know,
00:06:17.320 L.A.USD, which is L.A. Unified School District, largest school district in the United States,
00:06:22.580 it says these are radicalized.
00:06:24.500 Kim taught at L.A.USD back in the day.
00:06:26.720 They are absolutely radicalized. They are anti-conservative, anti-Christian, all of that.
00:06:33.280 And so it appears what takes him from being at Caltech, Pat, to riding a train with a shotgun and to writing that manifesto?
00:06:44.060 The answer is radicalized. Some place the bit flipped and the guy was completely radicalized and decided he could do this.
00:06:51.200 But you can see there's a rational side of thought. First, I want to apologize to my family.
00:06:56.060 I apologize to my friends.
00:06:57.520 You're talking about the manifesto?
00:06:58.720 The manifesto.
00:06:59.600 It's well written.
00:07:00.560 Well, let me read that.
00:07:01.240 Let me read that first, and then, Vinny, I'm going to come to you next.
00:07:03.160 That's what I think.
00:07:03.960 Hello, everybody.
00:07:04.940 So I may have given a lot of surprise today.
00:07:07.940 Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whom I trust.
00:07:10.240 Rob, can you zoom in a little bit?
00:07:11.880 I apologize to my parents for saying that I had an interview without specifying it was for most wanted.
00:07:15.520 I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency.
00:07:19.140 By the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly do need to go to EUR,
00:07:22.980 but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.
00:07:25.500 I apologize to all the people that I traveled next to, all the workers who handed my luggage,
00:07:30.260 all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger and simply by being near.
00:07:35.020 I apologize to everyone who abused or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt to do this,
00:07:41.220 to all who may still suffer from this regardless of my success or failure.
00:07:45.620 I don't expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it.
00:07:52.000 Again, my sincere apologies.
00:07:53.820 On to why I did this.
00:07:54.880 I'm a U.S. citizen.
00:07:56.480 What my representative do reflects on me. 0.97
00:07:58.240 I'm no longer, and I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and a traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
00:08:03.640 Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing to a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity we had to do something about it.
00:08:11.100 Go to page two, Rob, if you could.
00:08:13.880 While I'm discussing this, I'll also go over my expected rules of engagement, probably in a terrible format, but I'm not military to, I am not military, so too bad.
00:08:24.520 administration officials including not including mr patel why he says that it's interesting yes
00:08:29.940 they are targets prioritized from the highest ranking to the lowest secret service they are
00:08:36.180 targets only if necessary and to be incapacitated not lethally if possible aka i hope they're
00:08:41.140 wearing body armor because center masks with shotguns mess people up who aren't hotel security
00:08:46.620 not targets if at all possible aka unless they shoot at me capital police same as hotel police
00:08:51.600 National Guard, same as hotel employees.
00:08:53.440 Hotel employees, not targets at all.
00:08:54.880 Guests, not targets at all.
00:08:56.220 In order to minimize casualties, I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs.
00:09:01.700 Less penetration through walls.
00:09:03.420 I would still go through most everyone here to get the targets if it were absolutely necessary 0.99
00:09:07.780 on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor
00:09:12.000 and are thus complicit, but I really hope it doesn't come to that. 0.97
00:09:16.680 There's more, Rob, I think, because there's something he says about Iran.
00:09:19.180 Do you have the one where he says, quite honestly, it wasn't that hard to get into?
00:09:23.080 He says, hey, there's...
00:09:25.340 It's the P.S. part, Pat.
00:09:26.740 Once he's done, he goes into a P.S.
00:09:30.020 You have the P.S.?
00:09:30.720 Read the P.S.
00:09:31.300 He goes, P.S., okay.
00:09:32.120 Not P.O.S., P.S.
00:09:33.060 Yeah, P.S.
00:09:33.660 Go ahead.
00:09:34.060 Okay, now that all that sappy stuff is done, what the hell is Secret Service doing?
00:09:39.420 Sorry, going to rant here for a bit and drop the formal tone.
00:09:42.620 Like I expected, security cameras at every bend, bug hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet,
00:09:48.040 metal detectors out the wazoo what i got in parentheses who knows maybe they're pranking me
00:09:52.980 is nothing no damn security not in the transport not in the hotel not the event like the whole
00:09:59.800 thing that i immediately noticed walking into the hotel is a sense of arrogance i walk in with
00:10:05.260 multiple weapons not a single person there considers the possibility that i could be a
00:10:09.480 threat the security at the event is all outside focus on protesters and current arrivals because
00:10:14.120 apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before like this level
00:10:18.720 of incompetence is insane and i very sincerely hope it's corrected by the time this country
00:10:23.620 gets actually competent leadership again like if i was an iranian agent instead of an american 0.98
00:10:28.980 citizen i could have brought a damn maduce and maduce for you guys that don't know is where you 0.82
00:10:33.180 have to sit down and it's one of those that thing is it's it's huge he's saying i could have brought 0.98
00:10:37.600 a ma deuce in here and and um no one would ever notice s-h-i-t actually insane is what he says
00:10:46.280 so what do you what do you think about the what do you think about the whole thing well first pat
00:10:49.940 reading like it's freaking sad like he was captured by the political propaganda full stop
00:10:57.380 like look at how he sounds he sounds like a nice carrot like i know he's kind of off but think
00:11:03.200 about it he's apologizing for the people adam that even handled his luggage getting him on the train
00:11:07.580 to get to the place i'm sorry to my parents i'm sorry he's even going through rules of engagement
00:11:12.160 of you know i'm not gonna the capitol police are not this it it's really really sad uh pat and the
00:11:17.840 manifesto tells you that he was you know uh you know radicalized but you know what part stuck
00:11:22.880 out with me he checks into the hotel on friday case the place you know he's been at the uh no
00:11:28.380 king's rally the messaging inside the rest of the manifesto was anti-christian um and the fact that
00:11:35.560 this is the scary part and i'm gonna get to the security right now i'm gonna have rob play the
00:11:39.120 video of of jd vance uh the vice president and the president pat he was checked into the hotel
00:11:45.120 since friday no security no nothing the arrogance part really stuck out for me can you imagine just
00:11:52.180 remember the shooting in las vegas how much arsenal rob did that guy bring upstairs it was
00:11:56.900 insane at the mgm was it the mgm shooting tom yes okay rob mgm think about this ladies and
00:12:02.680 gentlemen if he kept doing multiple trips and kept bringing up explosives explosives he could 0.98
00:12:07.980 have blown up that entire freaking building if he wanted to and taken out the vice president 0.98
00:12:12.680 the president all of our leadership all in one spot and i think i think it's actually ridiculous 0.78
00:12:19.000 that that they let him get to that and i want to point out this failure by secret service this is
00:12:24.000 my opinion i know trump always praises them there's a shooting and a lot of people were trying
00:12:28.660 to come at me online like what do you mean they weren't even close if the president is sitting
00:12:32.940 there and we could hear pop pop pop pop gunshots he was close enough okay if he had an explosive
00:12:38.480 he's close enough rob can you please show this video i want everybody to know as a security
00:12:42.480 protocol and i talked to dan about this too there is somebody is an active shooter okay your number
00:12:49.340 one goal the chief the number one president should be the the guy that you get out first and foremost
00:12:55.700 Play this video.
00:12:56.940 Secret Service grabs J.D. Vance, is gone.
00:13:00.060 And watch this.
00:13:00.780 He's off the stage.
00:13:01.520 The president is sitting there.
00:13:02.720 Three, 1,000, four, 1,000, five, 1,000, still staying on stage, still a target.
00:13:09.840 And now they just slowly get the president off stage.
00:13:13.800 He was up there for like 30 seconds.
00:13:16.380 And fully, fully hard-armed, meaning with the armor and the helmets and everything.
00:13:20.700 Five to seven seconds.
00:13:22.000 After Vance is off, you have the hard-armored guy, which were supposed to put themselves on the vectors so they protect.
00:13:28.440 Tom, there's been a shooting.
00:13:30.380 You hear shooting?
00:13:31.840 I'm diving on the president and getting him out.
00:13:34.020 J.D. Vance got the treatment that the commander-in-chief should have gotten.
00:13:37.920 Totally unacceptable.
00:13:39.000 And you're hearing from the shooter himself that he was amazed.
00:13:42.560 He thought he was getting pranked because there was no security because the president wasn't there yet.
00:13:47.640 And again, I'm going to say the word arrogance.
00:13:50.120 Arrogance.
00:13:50.520 you're just what are we what are we doing as if you haven't learned the first time and the second
00:13:55.960 time and i'm not i'm not going down any crazy rabbit hole or anything there was one interesting
00:14:02.000 we'll get into obama's statement at the end but there was an interesting tweet i sent to rob this
00:14:06.740 the one thing that kind of made me bug out i'm pretty sure you guys all saw it there was a tweet
00:14:10.960 by a guy named henry martinez in 2023 i believe pat the only message this guy has ever put on his
00:14:18.900 look how many views they got was cole allen and that's his only tweet and it's a frog in a tuxedo
00:14:25.520 with a with a champagne glass people have been going crazy dissecting it it's so right
00:14:30.080 well i don't i don't know adam in 2023 this guy the one tweet he's ever go a little bit low rob
00:14:36.140 is that henry the fbi would like to speak with you what in the world like how do you is that
00:14:43.300 Is this Cole Allen?
00:14:44.660 Cole Allen had a picture of himself on Instagram.
00:14:48.080 Okay, so that's a different one.
00:14:49.360 That's the AI one that people were talking about.
00:14:51.260 Keep going.
00:14:52.300 You're on a time machine.
00:14:53.180 Instead of keep going, a little bit lower.
00:14:54.840 Okay.
00:14:55.320 That's pretty wild.
00:14:56.120 That's totally random.
00:14:56.680 That's something like that.
00:14:57.100 And then can I mention Barack Obama?
00:14:58.500 Yeah, of course.
00:14:58.820 Which pissed me off the most, Rob.
00:15:00.040 If you could please do that.
00:15:02.380 And before I get into this, let's not. 0.99
00:15:04.540 The fact that he said pedophile, rapist, traitor. 0.98
00:15:09.140 Where is he getting that rhetoric from? 0.99
00:15:10.960 Where is he getting that from?
00:15:12.880 Who have we heard for the past four years on mainstream media to every single body brainwashing the American public of these things? 0.97
00:15:23.400 Traitor, Hitler, boom. 0.88
00:15:25.000 Call it what it is, gaslighting. 0.99
00:15:26.600 Mainstream media gaslighting the American people.
00:15:28.680 1,000%.
00:15:29.400 And guess who Captain Gaslighter is?
00:15:32.740 Is Barack Hussein Obama, who said, although we don't yet have the detail.
00:15:38.240 This is well after the shooting and the manifesto came out.
00:15:41.600 Although we don't yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House correspondent, I want everybody to understand this.
00:15:50.740 Barack Obama is the most divisive president, ex-president in the history of this country.
00:15:56.640 Him saying we don't know the motive isn't about facts.
00:15:59.600 It's about slowing people down from reacting to what already looks completely obvious, all right?
00:16:05.460 He's trying to plant doubt where people already feel clear.
00:16:09.000 So they hesitate instead of judging the actual situation
00:16:11.900 So it gives his side cover
00:16:13.640 People don't want to face what happened
00:16:15.540 Now they have an excuse to avoid it
00:16:17.420 And he's the one doing it, Tom
00:16:18.540 I love that you said gaslighting
00:16:19.940 It's him
00:16:20.760 It shifts the fight
00:16:21.960 Instead of focusing on what happened
00:16:23.840 Now people are going to waste time arguing over
00:16:26.100 Is it clear, Pat?
00:16:27.360 Did he talk about that?
00:16:28.600 You just read
00:16:29.900 We just read what he said 1.00
00:16:31.520 Pedophile, rapist, traitor 1.00
00:16:33.420 We know his motive, okay? 1.00
00:16:35.080 And then Obama likes to flip the script
00:16:36.500 anyone who calls it out is going to get labeled an extreme or partisan so bottom line it's not
00:16:41.620 confusion what he's doing obama is control it's about buying time protecting the narrative and
00:16:47.220 and turning reality into an argument instead of something that people could just recognize i
00:16:51.900 actually feel bad for this guy pat this guy was radicalized by a machine political propaganda
00:16:56.500 machine that made him literally go there to try to kill the president of the united states and
00:16:59.780 anybody that got in his way adam yeah um i don't know about you guys but i'm getting this feeling 0.98
00:17:06.480 that they really want to kill Trump.
00:17:10.140 So how much more evidence do we need
00:17:12.360 that people are dedicating their entire lives 0.95
00:17:16.760 and willing to die in order to kill Trump?
00:17:20.000 And we can have a whole conversation 0.99
00:17:21.120 of how they got to this point,
00:17:23.300 a.k.a. the left.
00:17:24.500 I would say that the left has a violence problem
00:17:26.300 at this point that needs to be addressed.
00:17:29.220 Charlie Kirk, Steve Scalise.
00:17:32.000 How many times did Trump try the assassination?
00:17:34.760 Butler, Florida, that we know about.
00:17:38.400 You know, this room, which I've been into, we can discuss that in a second.
00:17:43.280 This might be one of the most important rooms in the world, certainly in America.
00:17:47.760 Why?
00:17:48.760 Was this not, PPD, the room that they tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan?
00:17:52.420 Outside.
00:17:53.120 1981?
00:17:54.360 Yep.
00:17:55.120 This was also the room, if you recall, in 2011, where Obama gave the speech about the
00:18:02.520 donald that basically motivated trump to run for president and the other comedian what was the
00:18:08.740 other comedian that said uh this is the president is sitting there and he just keeps taking shots
00:18:15.620 at the president uh not stephen colbert the late seth meyers seth meyers yeah you're right yes so
00:18:22.660 needless to say now there was a performer oz perlman the mentalist this isn't a good look 0.97
00:18:29.540 for you buddy how'd you not see this one coming you're a mentalist so this room changed everything 0.98
00:18:35.540 this is the room that basically motivated Trump to run and this is the room that now uh a psychopath 0.98
00:18:42.620 shooter who wrote a manifesto tries to break in and try to kill the president at what point is
00:18:48.140 secret service and are the feds gonna say guys what are we doing how does this continual continually
00:18:56.700 keep happening we need to clean this thing up because i'll i'll revisit what i said at the
00:19:01.300 beginning guys they're trying to kill trump you know how you always hear protect this man at all
00:19:06.260 costs could be some internet comedian protect this man at all costs trump is the most important man
00:19:12.460 in the world the most consequential man in the world making the world's most consequential
00:19:16.960 decision decisions this is the first white house correspondence dinner that he shows up to as he's 0.83
00:19:23.800 sitting president and this is what happens and by the way whether it's balls or whether it's just
00:19:29.600 lack of care Trump wants to do the event again in the next 30 days let's make sure that our
00:19:36.280 secret service and our security is up to par yeah can I also say one more story about the the White
00:19:42.620 House correspondence security I went to this event in 2017 I told the story about where I met
00:19:51.720 eric swallow at the bar here's some pictures while i was there so the funniest thing about
00:19:56.980 this event and me getting in you want to know what i didn't have a ticket i wasn't invited
00:20:03.520 one of these ladies here said yeah come you can come just join me here i said how do i get in
00:20:08.860 they go we'll figure it out i got in without a ticket i got to the red carpet by this is 2017
00:20:16.680 three years before we start the podcast look i've been fortunate enough to go to the white
00:20:21.520 house now multiple times tomorrow lago we know that trump durrell we just did a massive event
00:20:26.640 there which they announced they're doing the g20 at it's easier to get in the white house
00:20:31.700 correspondence dinner than it is to get to a sporting event or a concert how's that possible
00:20:37.160 reagan was shot there this is continually a scene of the crime so now if you want to take out the
00:20:44.500 president you know now this is probably the easiest room to get into but you're ready for
00:20:48.280 Do better, please.
00:20:49.320 Well, hold on. 0.99
00:20:49.840 And then, Adam, crap hits the fan. 0.99
00:20:51.960 The vice president is grabbed and thrown off the stage, 0.99
00:20:56.800 and the president's still – they're all looking around with Captain Magic Boy.
00:21:00.160 They're like, hey, what's happening?
00:21:01.960 Get the president off the stage.
00:21:03.460 Well, Trump addressed this in his 60 Minutes interview.
00:21:05.780 Did you hear that?
00:21:06.680 Yeah, but –
00:21:07.240 Were you able to see that?
00:21:07.940 Yeah, but as a security protocol, there's no excuse.
00:21:10.100 Yeah, so let's cover a couple of different things while this is going on.
00:21:13.680 Tom, I think you've been dying to say something.
00:21:15.380 No, I was saying we're being a little hard on the Secret Service.
00:21:17.500 there's four layers
00:21:19.120 that I was reading about this weekend
00:21:22.080 the first is
00:21:23.040 vice president and president each have their own detail
00:21:25.520 clearly the detail that's on
00:21:28.020 J.D. that knows him
00:21:29.240 they reacted quickly
00:21:31.600 grabbed him by the shoulders, got him out of the chair and up
00:21:33.780 the president's detail apparently was slower
00:21:36.200 then you have two secret service details
00:21:38.420 we went through it when we had
00:21:40.140 Trump on the podcast
00:21:41.060 an incredible group of people that showed up
00:21:43.380 remember this Pat?
00:21:43.980 and they do what's called the advance
00:21:45.680 and they sweep and they do all this advance work
00:21:48.100 and everything. The question is
00:21:49.580 how do they advance? How does a guy
00:21:52.040 get a gun into a hotel room at the very hotel?
00:21:54.600 That's on the advance side
00:21:56.020 but then there's perimeter
00:21:57.760 day of and apparently that was
00:22:00.020 a metal detector and that he ran through
00:22:01.900 he ran through that perimeter check
00:22:03.980 Guys, can I just say something? Listen
00:22:05.920 there's two things. One
00:22:07.820 yeah, Secret
00:22:10.020 Service, you know, you can find
00:22:12.140 a million ways to
00:22:13.500 do your best to get better
00:22:15.340 But you're dealing with a client that's very public.
00:22:18.900 You're dealing with a client that is not very, you know, like if you look at J.D., J.D.'s natural reaction was flight.
00:22:26.900 Just play it.
00:22:28.520 If you just look at it, like to him, he was alert.
00:22:32.100 The president is having a conversation.
00:22:33.980 Sitting on the right here.
00:22:34.860 Yeah, to the right.
00:22:35.920 If you can just put the arrow on it.
00:22:37.600 He's about to get up.
00:22:38.680 You see how you back up like you want to get up?
00:22:40.420 And then they got him.
00:22:41.460 Let's go.
00:22:41.960 And boom.
00:22:43.340 He's out.
00:22:44.060 Right?
00:22:44.460 Right. So the president, that guy standing in front of him, he's still having a conversation and they finally come up and they're in the front and then he leaves.
00:22:54.680 He says, get down. He gets down and then they get him out. Right.
00:22:57.160 And that lady in that dress that you saw, she's the president of the White House Correspondents Association. 1.00
00:23:03.120 Asian lady. The Asian lady is the Jank, I believe is her name.
00:23:07.880 In the light color dress. In the light color dress. So she's the president. 1.00
00:23:11.420 So if you go look up who is responsible for the White House Correspondents Dinner, they ask Scott Besson,
00:23:17.260 so Scott, you know, how do you manage the finances for an event like this?
00:23:20.880 He says, I don't.
00:23:21.580 This is not something the White House does.
00:23:23.100 It's not our job.
00:23:23.840 Somebody else does it.
00:23:25.040 So it's its own thing that the media runs.
00:23:27.900 She is the – you know who was the previous president of the White House Correspondents Association?
00:23:32.520 Can you type in the previous – his name was Eugene Daniels.
00:23:35.340 Do you remember Eugene Daniels?
00:23:36.360 You should know who Eugene Daniels is.
00:23:38.360 This is Eugene Daniels.
00:23:39.380 You've seen him on MSN many, many times.
00:23:41.420 Are you serious?
00:23:42.500 That was the previous president of the White House Correspondents.
00:23:46.040 Right there.
00:23:46.660 He served as the president of White House Correspondents Association.
00:23:50.000 The new one, click on that, Rob.
00:23:52.060 If you just click on White House Correspondents Association on his profile, it'll go to it.
00:23:56.300 The new one is right there, Wijaya Jank.
00:23:59.660 This is her.
00:24:00.360 And this is who was sitting to the left of the president, to his left, to our left, if you're looking at the stage.
00:24:06.160 That's her.
00:24:06.740 So the security responsibility falls a little bit on the president
00:24:12.940 who was putting this event together.
00:24:15.240 Two, it falls on Secret Service protecting the president on the outside.
00:24:20.060 Three, it falls on the hotel.
00:24:23.360 But the hotel's like, what do you want me to do?
00:24:25.080 You guys put events together here.
00:24:26.400 We do hotels here all the time.
00:24:27.600 Like I remember one time, you know, we went and looked at that same exact hotel.
00:24:31.160 We were going to do SLS at this hotel.
00:24:32.800 Right at this hotel, it was dated.
00:24:34.660 It's actually a very dated hotel.
00:24:36.320 It's not a nice hotel.
00:24:37.600 No, it's not nice at all.
00:24:38.840 It's dated.
00:24:39.400 And so we said, no, we're not going to go to this hotel.
00:24:41.480 And at the end of the tour, they're like, by the way, this is where the president, Ronald Reagan, got shot.
00:24:45.980 I'm like, oh, that's awesome.
00:24:47.760 Not a selling point, you know.
00:24:50.640 And right here.
00:24:52.020 So anyways, we looked at that as we're going through it.
00:24:54.820 So to me, I think a few things that I like.
00:24:58.000 Let me tell you what I liked.
00:24:59.320 And this is the stuff I am attracted to.
00:25:01.900 One, I love that the president was poised.
00:25:07.000 I love that Stelter said when he was in there, the guy that came and checked on him was the president of FCC.
00:25:17.800 Okay, is this it, Rob?
00:25:19.080 Yep.
00:25:19.340 This is what I love.
00:25:20.500 Play this.
00:25:21.280 One of the first people who checked on me inside the ballroom was Brendan Carr, who is the Trump FCC chairman.
00:25:26.360 And some of you might know I've been rather critical of some of our actions in the last year.
00:25:29.220 This is what's beautiful.
00:25:30.280 But we were talking a couple of times right afterward.
00:25:32.660 And that's the point, Scott, right?
00:25:33.900 Is that this was for everybody in the room.
00:25:35.960 You can pause it right there.
00:25:37.080 The president said everybody was getting along.
00:25:40.400 He said the people that have said some foul things about me, we were talking.
00:25:45.140 It was united.
00:25:46.560 The energy was good.
00:25:48.260 We were feeling good about it.
00:25:49.720 Things were going great.
00:25:51.360 So whoever was in there, it was like one of those things where, by the way,
00:25:54.840 even the 60 Minutes lady that interviewed him, I watched the whole thing.
00:25:59.140 I didn't watch the 13-minute clip that they put on, or I didn't watch a clip.
00:26:01.980 I watched a 43-minute clip of the whole thing.
00:26:04.500 And I have my own assessment.
00:26:05.480 If you want to play the nasty clip that the president wasn't too happy about,
00:26:08.920 I'll tell you how I felt the interview went.
00:26:11.380 If you want to play this.
00:26:12.340 Nora O'Donnell, I believe, right?
00:26:14.020 Is this with the manifesto thing, Rob?
00:26:15.680 Go for it.
00:26:16.460 The so-called manifesto is a stunning interview, Mr. President.
00:26:20.560 He appears to reference a motive in it.
00:26:22.620 Something like that in the interview of the 43-minute interview, 41-minute interview.
00:26:25.100 He writes this quote, administration officials, they are targets.
00:26:27.820 And he also wrote this. 0.99
00:26:30.080 I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. 0.90
00:26:36.100 What's your reaction to that? 1.00
00:26:37.120 Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're horrible people. 0.99
00:26:42.340 Horrible people. 0.97
00:26:43.560 Yeah, he did write that.
00:26:45.320 I'm not a rapist.
00:26:46.700 I didn't rape anybody.
00:26:48.940 I'm not a pedophile.
00:26:49.780 Do you think he was referring to you?
00:26:51.280 Come on.
00:26:52.200 Oh, come on. 1.00
00:26:53.320 You read that crap from some sick person. 0.99
00:26:56.080 I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me. 1.00
00:27:02.860 I was totally exonerated.
00:27:04.640 Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things.
00:27:13.540 But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview.
00:27:17.040 I read the manifesto. 1.00
00:27:18.920 You know, he's a sick person. 0.98
00:27:20.500 But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. 0.99
00:27:25.880 And I was never, excuse me, you shouldn't be reading that in 60 minutes. 0.98
00:27:31.960 You're a disgrace, but go ahead and finish the interview.
00:27:34.460 The other thing that he wrote in the interview. 0.98
00:27:36.300 By the way, just so you know, in the complete interview, in the first 60 seconds, the president says he read the manifesto.
00:27:44.700 So the first person that brought up the manifesto was the president.
00:27:49.100 And you could tell she really didn't want to read that.
00:27:52.900 She was uncomfortable.
00:27:53.920 I don't know whether somebody asked her to read it or not, because even at the end, what he said, what she said is, hey, Mr. President, thank you for your graciousness.
00:28:02.820 Thank you. And it was a very I've never seen them specifically her talk to the president respectfully where you could tell she was uncomfortable with this interview.
00:28:12.060 Like she has to do her job. She had to read that because out of all the interview, everything that was discussed, there was nothing else to address but that.
00:28:20.960 I actually don't think she is a, what do you call it,
00:28:27.000 like one of the Jamie Raskin type of things.
00:28:28.780 Jamie's a complete different story, and we can go to Jamie right now as well.
00:28:32.600 If you want to see the complete opposite of the nasty,
00:28:35.200 I thought there was good things going on.
00:28:36.880 I thought it was like, all right, this is good.
00:28:38.740 Hey, let's go.
00:28:39.500 Let's do the thing.
00:28:40.220 Let's have the fun.
00:28:41.420 Let's take shots at each other.
00:28:42.980 I can't tell you.
00:28:43.900 Yesterday I'm at a football game, and a lady pulls up to me.
00:28:46.960 She says, when are you guys going to get size 14?
00:28:49.240 I'm like, ma'am, we just got size 7.
00:28:51.700 We just got size 8 1⁄2.
00:28:53.480 14 is coming here soon.
00:28:54.940 We got 7 1⁄2.
00:28:56.400 He says, my husband, I need size 14.
00:28:58.220 My dad comes home from church.
00:29:00.660 We're done eating.
00:29:01.500 We're at the house with Sean and Grace, and my dad says,
00:29:03.940 when are you getting size 14?
00:29:05.440 I said, what do you mean size 14?
00:29:07.080 Today at church, somebody saw my Valuetainment logo.
00:29:09.320 They came to me.
00:29:09.880 They said, are you getting size 14 or not?
00:29:11.900 So I'm like, is there like an epidemic going on with size 14?
00:29:14.520 Who needs to do Shaq, size 14?
00:29:16.160 Yeah, well, Shaq needs size 22, 23.
00:29:18.320 Wow. 0.96
00:29:18.660 Ridiculous. 0.97
00:29:18.780 But let me tell you, it's exciting stuff that's going on with the shoe. 0.89
00:29:21.460 Everywhere I'm going now, people are asking about how come my husband bought it.
00:29:25.440 We were at first skeptical.
00:29:26.660 Why would somebody like PBD come out with shoes?
00:29:29.260 You're not a shoe company.
00:29:30.360 Why would you come out with a shoe?
00:29:31.480 And then you go to Italy to do it.
00:29:32.760 And then you, it's designed in Florida.
00:29:34.580 And it's got the, you know, the super phone technology on the bottom of it.
00:29:37.960 Super comfortable.
00:29:38.680 Yes.
00:29:39.440 Every day I've been wearing this thing since September 9th.
00:29:42.400 I've worn the shoe every single day except for eight days.
00:29:46.000 Now I've not worn.
00:29:46.800 Since September 9th.
00:29:48.160 Just to see what it feels like, what it looks like.
00:29:50.920 Does it tear?
00:29:51.420 Does it have any damage?
00:29:52.300 It's the most comfortable thing I wear.
00:29:54.360 And if you haven't yet gotten yourself an FLB shoe, watch this commercial.

00:30:03.840 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:30:09.480 we had the choice to make it fast.
