| Good morning, guys. | ||
| Yeah, former President Trump is safe following a second assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach yesterday. | ||
| Fox News obtaining this photo showing Ryan Wesley Ruth, the suspected gunman, moments after his arrest. | ||
| A Florida sheriff who was on the scene spoke about the suspect's demeanor during that arrest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was at the scene and he had a very, very kind of detached flat. | |
| Facial affect. | ||
| Like, it wasn't bothering him. | ||
| Blue lights everywhere. | ||
| Helicopter overhead. | ||
| He never said, "Hey, what's that about? | ||
| Why did I get stopped?" This picture shows the AK-47-style rifle that was seen by the Secret Service pointing out through a chain-link fence as sheriffs also uncovered a GoPro camera and a backpack. | ||
| The former president was playing the fifth hole when Secret Service agents spotted the suspect and opened fire. | ||
| According to authorities, Ruth was 300 to 500 yards from Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the bushes where this guy was. | |
| Is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had ceramic tile in them, and a GoPro, which he was going to take pictures of. | ||
| So those are being processed right now. | ||
| Rifle was pointing out our agents engaged. | ||
| We are not sure right now if the individual was able to take a shot at our agents, but for sure our agents were able to engage with the subject. | ||
| The suspect fled the area in his car, which was quickly spotted on I-95 after a witness saw and took a photo of the vehicle and license plate. | ||
| He was stopped and arrested. | ||
| The FBI is now taking the lead on the investigation into the scene and the suspect, who we are learning more about. | ||
| So he's originally from North Carolina and moved to Hawaii in 2017. | ||
| He has prior arrests for drug possession, driving without a license, expired inspection, and operating a vehicle without insurance. | ||
| Back in 2002, he barricaded himself in his roofing company's office during a three-hour standoff with police following a traffic stop. | ||
| Trump is now praising law enforcement for swiftly removing him from danger, saying, quote, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Rick Bradshaw, and his office of brave and dedicated patriots and all of law enforcement for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me safe. | ||
| While Trump's security has been elevated, it is not at the level of the sitting president. | ||
| Guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you come at the king, you better get in line. | |
| Stand there shaking, waiting for your turn. | ||
| Behind the old thought, just heed this alert. | ||
| You better finish what you start. | ||
| *music* | ||
| The media clowns hung for the attack, but I stand six feet above the ground, because you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take your best shot, pop my fist, give me what you got, cause you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take me to my grave I'll rise again and again and say You can't keep a good man down No! | ||
| You can't keep a good man down You can't keep a good man down In America, we don't worship government And you can't keep a good man down And you can't keep a good man down We worship God Come on, come on, take your best shot Bump my fish, give me what you got Ooh, man! | ||
| What a news cycle we are in right now. | ||
| Today, ladies and gentlemen, is Monday, September 16th, 2024. | ||
| So many strange things about the Trump assassination once again. | ||
| But thankfully, the assassin is alive because now we will be able to hopefully get some answers. | ||
| And he left quite a trail of mysterious and dark webs of information. | ||
| That we are going to try and piece together today on this program. | ||
| Did Ryan Routh have inside information about Donald Trump's whereabouts, where Donald Trump was going to be yesterday? | ||
| We need to start asking some tough questions. | ||
| On this program, we will have Senator Mike Lee and Congressman Michael Waltz, who will be joining us live. | ||
| They are on the Assassination Task Force. | ||
| And we will be having live updates as... | ||
| Ryan Ralph appears in federal court this morning. | ||
| So what do we know so far? | ||
| We're going to cover it all in today's show. | ||
| My name is Benny Johnson and this is The Benny Show. | ||
| Please, if you are somebody who cares about this country and if you wish to make sure that you get all of the breaking information and get it true and fast and accurately. | ||
| And dependably, go to our friends at Patriot Mobile. | ||
| Make sure that you are somebody who is locked in because we are living in crazy and biblical times right now. | ||
| PatriotMobile.com slash Benny972Patriot. | ||
| Make sure you are connected to breaking news events. | ||
| We were live within 30 minutes of this news breaking yesterday. | ||
| We're proud of that and proud of our team here. | ||
| Part of the reason we can do that is our partnership with Patriot Mobile. | ||
| Right now, I've got a free month when you use the offer code Benny. | ||
| Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless network. | ||
| Today, I want to talk about the power of this audience. | ||
| I want to just begin by saying we have so much to get to in this show. | ||
| There's so much we don't understand and so much we don't know right now. | ||
| And we're going to try to make some sense of what seems like a crazy deja vu to certainly to me and probably to you. | ||
| If you pay attention, then you're potentially piecing together some very odd similarities. | ||
| Between this shooter and the shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| And I want to begin by saying there's no such thing as a conspiracy theory. | ||
| There's just theories. | ||
| There's just people asking questions. | ||
| There are facts, and we wish to present to you as much as we know right now. | ||
| And then there's speculation. | ||
| And we're going to have to speculate a little bit on this program. | ||
| But what the hell happened as a man who just to... | ||
| Quick update on the news. | ||
| A man named Ryan Ralph, who's a Democrat, who has Kamala Harris bumper stickers on his car and has donated to Democrats dozens of times, was within just a few hundred yards of President Trump with a rifle with a scope inside of a sniper's den. | ||
| When nobody knew where the hell Donald Trump was that day, his... | ||
| Schedule was not public. | ||
| It was OTR, off the record, meaning the president moves very fluidly and sort of in the cover of darkness. | ||
| It would be virtually impossible to track Donald Trump's whereabouts. | ||
| How the hell did the shooter know where he was? | ||
| We're going to cover all that. | ||
| Thankfully, Donald Trump survived. | ||
| The shooter could have killed the president and clearly wanted to kill the president, as was his stated goal in many social media posts. | ||
| This guy has a very strange past, was hunted down by the authorities, thankfully, in the state of Florida, and then arrested. | ||
| On our show yesterday, during the breaking news, we knew so little. | ||
| We didn't know the man's name. | ||
| We didn't know anything about his social media or his past. | ||
| We had no idea what he looked like, who he was, where he was, what age he was. | ||
| We didn't even know if he was arrested at the time when we went live yesterday. | ||
| We had on a man named Eric Prince. | ||
| is the founder, CEO of Blackwater, one of the largest protection organizations and most sophisticated protection groups in U.S. history. | ||
| They're the people who effectively secured war zones when the U.S. military said it's too dangerous. | ||
| They outsourced this to Eric Prince, and Eric Prince knows about dangerous men and dangerous places. | ||
| On our program yesterday, Eric Prince said something. | ||
| That was remarkable. | ||
| That was picked up very widely and was shared very widely and led to real world action that may well be our saving grace in all of this. | ||
| This may well be the reason why we will actually find some justice and learn about what happened. | ||
| And it won't just be swept under the rub as you are seeing the corporate media trying to do this morning. | ||
| All across corporate media, calling it an incident instead of an assassination attempt, and saying his motivations are unclear. | ||
| The guy had a Kamala Harris sticker on his car. | ||
| Put it up. | ||
| The guy had a Kamala Harris sticker on his car. | ||
| The guy voted for Democrats. | ||
| I want you to see it. | ||
| Here's the guy's truck sitting in his driveway. | ||
| The guy had a Joe Biden Kamala Harris sticker on the damn car. | ||
| You were seeing Time Magazine this morning. | ||
| Got community noted into the sun. | ||
| But still, Time Magazine this morning saying, we don't know his political ideology. | ||
| We'll never know. | ||
| We may never know. | ||
| You can see what they're trying to do here. | ||
| There's one reason why they might not be able to pull it off, and that's because of our show yesterday. | ||
| I'm not here to egregiously pat ourselves on the back, but I am here to sort of plant a flag and say how important this audience is, how much we care about you, and why we are so thankful for you. | ||
| On our show yesterday, Eric Prince. | ||
| Made this very harsh declarative statement that Ron DeSantis, Governor DeSantis, must declare this a joint operation with independent Florida State Investigations and the Florida Bureau of Investigations and must grab from the feds and rip from the feds the authority to charge, interview, observe. | ||
| Scan, scrape, Ryan Ralph, social media, texts, signal chats, telegram chats, whatever. | ||
| His entire phone is going to be a treasure trove of who he was operating with, what he was saying to them, how he knew where President Trump was that day, what his... | ||
| Digital idea. | ||
| Who was paying him if somebody was paying? | ||
| The state of Florida must have access to this. | ||
| This happened in the state of Florida. | ||
| Thank God it didn't happen in a blue state or a state run like a decrepit state of Pennsylvania. | ||
| Pennsylvania could have, with proper leadership, done the exact same thing in the Butler shooting. | ||
| Of course, Pennsylvania leadership was clawing and clamoring to be vice president for Kamala Harris, so they did nothing. | ||
| They turned it over to the feds to go into scrub operation. | ||
| And to make sure that we know nothing. | ||
| We'll never know. | ||
| We'll never know. | ||
| We'll cremate his body. | ||
| We'll hose everything off. | ||
| We'll make sure that the place is scrubbed clean, that you never find out anything about the kid, never find out anything about his background, who he was talking with. | ||
| We'll even lie to Congress about it. | ||
| Thankfully, Ron DeSantis heard us. | ||
| This is the power of this audience. | ||
| I want to just begin with a victory today as we get into the dark story. | ||
| And strange actions of Ryan Routh. | ||
| Here is Eric Prince calling for Ron DeSantis to assert state control over this investigation and rend back the information and power from the feds. | ||
| This is called the 10th Amendment in action. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go. | |
| Can you please, since we know that the governor follows our accounts quite closely, can you please give a message to Governor DeSantis from your security expertise and perspective? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Governor DeSantis, love what you've done with the state of Florida. | |
| Now is the time to prove the Florida Bureau of Investigations merit in cracking this crime and not brushing it under the rug like happened in Pennsylvania. | ||
| Yes, I believe that at the very least, what this would provide is transparency that then all of us could agree on the terms. | ||
| What we saw in Butler was Thomas Crooks, the FBI contacting Gab, saying that we have the account of Thomas Crooks. | ||
| He's a far left winger who supports Joe Biden. | ||
| You can see that through his posting. | ||
| And the owner of Gab coming out and saying, here are all of his posts. | ||
| This guy is a left wing Joe Biden supporter. | ||
| The next day, the FBI comes in and testifies that he's actually a right winger. | ||
| And I don't know if that the intention, obviously the intention there is to confuse or to cross the wires. | ||
| But guess which narrative the corporate press run with? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| So again, the state government has a huge role in this. | ||
| In preventing assassination and murder in their state, clearly the federal government cannot be trusted here, sadly. | ||
| It's a time for Governor DeSantis to flex up and to see that this is done properly. | ||
| Well, we want to thank you for watching yesterday. | ||
| We want to thank you for being part of this. | ||
| Audience, because we have had a real-world effect on this investigation. | ||
| Ron DeSantis, yesterday, after we went live and after our post, after that post went thermonuclear viral, I don't know, it got millions of views on our social media, and it was picked up by hundreds of news outlets. | ||
| Ron DeSantis, through that pressure, put out this post last night. | ||
| The state of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the assassination attempt of Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club. | ||
| People deserve the truth. | ||
| Do you see that? | ||
| Do you see what we did together? | ||
| People deserve the truth about the would-be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards as president and current GOP nominee. | ||
| Attorney General Ashley Moody still silent on this. | ||
| So we look forward to that and we are going to be muscularly driving for the attorney general of the state to launch. | ||
| Ron DeSantis has an opportunity to become a living legend in this moment. | ||
| Ron DeSantis needs to assert full control since this happened inside of the Florida jurisdiction. | ||
| And my team is telling me to state this correctly. | ||
| There is no Florida Bureau of Investigations. | ||
| My apologies. | ||
| Florida Department of Law Enforcement. | ||
| FDLE. | ||
| So this would be who would be investigating. | ||
| I want to make this very clear. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Got it. | ||
| And we want to encourage correctly the purpose of our calls here is actually something that everyone should celebrate, which is an independent investigation. | ||
| That confirms what the feds are going to tell us. | ||
| Why wouldn't that be something that we all want here? | ||
| I'm sorry, but the feds have lost all credibility. | ||
| We've seen what you've done with Hunter Biden's laptop, the Russiagate. | ||
| We've seen what you've done in Butler. | ||
| We know nothing. | ||
| We have nothing. | ||
| In Butler, the FBI has effectively handed an empty bag to congressional investigators. | ||
| And we're going to have one of them on the program here in just a second. | ||
| They've done nothing. | ||
| They said his phone's encrypted. | ||
| And so his phone, we can't get into it. | ||
| We can't ever figure. | ||
| We'll never know. | ||
| We'll never know. | ||
| Sweep it under the rug. | ||
| Doesn't fit the narrative. | ||
| Not here. | ||
| They're going to try and do that. | ||
| They're going to try and eliminate this from the public side. | ||
| And we're not going to let it go. | ||
| We're not going to let it go. | ||
| We did everything in our power to ensure that everybody... | ||
| We went to Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| We covered the assassination. | ||
| We did nonstop. | ||
| We did everything to ensure that this wasn't something that could leave the American conscience. | ||
| Because, you know, left-wing violence is the only true violence that is happening with regularity on a political landscape here in the country. | ||
| And we need to really have a hard take on this. | ||
| In this program, we're going to show you exactly what the unhinged radicalism of the left and how, quite frankly, what they state is this. | ||
| If you disagree with them politically, you're not human. | ||
| If you disagree with them politically, you're not deserving of life. | ||
| This is the ideology of the left, and we wish to expose that. | ||
| Many members on the left are celebrating the fact that there was another assassination attempt on Donald Trump, just like they did the first time. | ||
| The only way to actually make this stick is to have a real investigation of this real Kamala Harris and Joe Biden voter and donor who tried to kill Trump yesterday and to start saying it and putting it in those terms. | ||
| And the only way we're going to be able to put it in those terms is if Ron DeSantis has the balls to step out there on a daily basis and give press conferences. | ||
| This is what we need. | ||
| We need a daily press conference basis. | ||
| I have a tweet on this. | ||
| Put it up. | ||
| I said, great job, governor. | ||
| Here's what you do next. | ||
| Full state authority. | ||
| This crime happened in your state. | ||
| You have full rights legally to not only participate in this investigation, but to learn everything along with federal authorities. | ||
| This is a 10th Amendment situation. | ||
| The state of Florida must muscularly assert its right to learn everything the feds know and to be present during Interrogations, assessment of electronics, gathering of evidence. | ||
| Two, hold a daily press conference. | ||
| Do not let this slip from the psyche of American people. | ||
| Release information. | ||
| We've heard nothing but lies from the Secret Service. | ||
| We've heard nothing but lies from the feds on the Butler assassination. | ||
| I mean, lies, verifiable lies, demonstrable lies. | ||
| Josh Hawley just released a whistleblower report this morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Devastating. | |
| Then, when we find out who was working with him, they would be assassinated. | ||
| When we find out who was giving him information, we go after all of them. | ||
| We expose the network of people who wish to kill President Trump from the inside, from the outside. | ||
| Not sure. | ||
| Was it somebody at his club? | ||
| Was it as simple as that? | ||
| Or was it much, much darker? | ||
| As we get into this guy's past, nothing makes sense. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| Is this MKUltra gone wrong? | ||
| What's happening with this guy? | ||
| There is no logic to this man's life. | ||
| We're going to give you all the evidence that we know right now. | ||
| But the only way for us to understand what truly happened here. | ||
| And a reminder that the Secret Service had to open fire. | ||
| There are many reports that this guy did, in fact, fire shots. | ||
| Well, I guess we're going to have to look. | ||
| But I say this. | ||
| And I hate that I have to say it. | ||
| I hate it. | ||
| This will be the thing I dislike saying the very most in this program because there should be things that connect us actually as human beings and Americans together. | ||
| But sadly, those threads are so bare right now. | ||
| I'm glad this happened in a red state. | ||
| I'm glad it happened in a red state. | ||
| I'm sure you are too. | ||
| This happened in a red state with a strong governor and a governor who is good at prosecuting crime. | ||
| Very good. | ||
| And getting to the bottom of these things and good at asserting his rights as a governor through power, through the power of his office, asserting his rights as a governor against the feds and against the federal government. | ||
| And so I'm happy it happened in this red state. | ||
| If this happened in a blue state, if this happened in Connecticut, it would be the same thing all over again. | ||
| Oh, just turn it over to the black box of federal investigations. | ||
| And we'll learn something. | ||
| Maybe 2026 we'll learn something. | ||
| They'll release a report when nobody cares. | ||
| No. | ||
| Now is the time. | ||
| Now is the time to muscularly approach this. | ||
| I'm so thankful for this audience. | ||
| I thank you. | ||
| You will not find a creator in this space that is more appreciative because this is what we wish to do. | ||
| We wish to effect proper change. | ||
| This is actual change. | ||
| We were able to do it together. | ||
| We were the first ones out of the gate. | ||
| So, ladies and gentlemen, My appreciation to you. | ||
| President Trump, up with a 0-2 post. | ||
| Actually, sadly, this is a Photoshop. | ||
| It's a Photoshop, but an epic one. | ||
| I hope that Trump sees this, and I hope that he actually does post this. | ||
| There are so many strange similarities between these two. | ||
| Let me go through them off. | ||
| The top of my head. | ||
| And then we will be having a member of the Assassination Task Force joining us momentarily. | ||
| But I want this to be driven home. | ||
| Both assassins are in videos for promotional events for BlackRock. | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
| We can show you the videos. | ||
| We got them. | ||
| Thomas Crooks and Ryan Ralph. | ||
| Are there actually that many coincidences in life? | ||
| Both assassins, here, you pop it up, both assassins have very strange and very murky ties to overseas interest groups, let's just call them. | ||
| For a lack of being able to really properly pin this down. | ||
| This man, here's Ryan Routh here, appeared in an Azov Battalion propaganda video in May 2022. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| That's strange. | ||
| Why is this American citizen appearing in Azov Battalion propaganda? | ||
| This man was completely and totally radicalized by the Ukraine war. | ||
| He spent what seems to be the last bits of his free life because... | ||
| I don't believe this man will ever see the light of day again, not being prosecuted in a state like Florida. | ||
| He will die in prison. | ||
| And he's 58 already. | ||
| You can see here Thomas Crooks in a BlackRock ad. | ||
| What the hell is this? | ||
| What the hell is going on here? | ||
| Are there really that many coincidences? | ||
| According to the feds, because we have to just depend on them because they're the ones who have all of Thomas Crooks' devices, Thomas Krug completely disappeared off the map. | ||
| Nobody's interviewed his parents. | ||
| Nobody asked his parents about this. | ||
| His parents are still, like, wandering around the town. | ||
| Nobody's, like, sat them down for an interview. | ||
| Nobody's asked anyone, like, what the hell's wrong? | ||
| Why, how'd your kid try and kill Trump? | ||
| How does he have bombs on him? | ||
| Where do you get the money to do this? | ||
| And I asked the same question on Ryan Ralph. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It defies any... | |
| Moderate level of common sense that some zit-faced, jackass kid who's 20 years old would have the capacity to build sophisticated canister bombs and then run an op where, with no military training, he gets within 100 yards of the president and gets a scope shot on Trump in a BlackRock ad. | ||
| The feds tell us That after reviewing all of his electronics, that he had signal accounts and accounts set up overseas. | ||
| What's that about? | ||
| Who has an account set up overseas? | ||
| ALX? | ||
| I'm going to call for that. | ||
| I'm going to call for that Iranian video that shows Trump golfing and shows a target on his back. | ||
| This is very, very strange. | ||
| I don't think it's in the production, but we got to show this. | ||
| Do we have it? | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| Okay, let's show that. | ||
| Here's a video from Iran showing Donald Trump golfing. | ||
| This was posted by the Ayatollah Khomeini demanding that Trump be shot and killed on the golf course. | ||
| In a self-published book, Ryan Ralph begs Iran to kill Trump. | ||
| And here's Iran's video. | ||
| Both these guys have very murky, very strange ties to international... | ||
| Military operations and or dark web operations. | ||
| Are you starting to see a pattern here? | ||
| Ryan Routh has been captured alive, so maybe somebody could ask him in an interrogation, hey, you're pretty much a penniless, unemployed, part-time roofer from Hawaii. | ||
| So then can you explain to me how you voted? | ||
| In the Democrat primaries in North Carolina. | ||
| How'd you do that? | ||
| You got that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| How'd you do that? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Here's what Iran released. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Oh, good. | ||
| A guy shooting from the bushes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Interesting. | ||
| Oh, got it. | ||
| It's a little drone. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| A couple questions just off the top of the head here for the would-be assassin of President Trump. | ||
| How did you get to the place where you could be within a couple hundred yards of Donald Trump? | ||
| Who told you where Trump was going to be? | ||
| His trip was off the record yesterday. | ||
| Nobody knew where Trump was. | ||
| How'd this guy know what Trump was? | ||
| We didn't know what Trump was. | ||
| We do this professionally and for a living. | ||
| We know everything. | ||
| We're on the advance and everything. | ||
| We get special emails from the Trump team telling us where Trump's going to be months from now, if they have stuff booked, inviting us to go. | ||
| We get the most sophisticated external internals that we possibly can, what Trump's doing and where he is. | ||
| We're also extremely online, which means that when Donald Trump makes movements and they're public, you tend to know. | ||
| Typically going to be somebody tweeting it. | ||
| How'd this guy know what hole Trump was going to be on his golf course? | ||
| This man has an arrest record. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| You can find this. | ||
| You can find the same as me. | ||
| Go ahead, check out his arrest record. | ||
| He has a hundred different criminal offenses, including one for, and I kid you not, possession of a weapon of mass destruction. | ||
| Possession of a weapon of mass... | ||
| What weapon of mass destruction did he possess? | ||
| How was he able to purchase a firearm? | ||
| Who paid for that firearm? | ||
| This guy lives in Hawaii. | ||
| How was he able to fund travel from Hawaii to Florida to D.C. to Ukraine? | ||
| You can see him all over the place. | ||
| Here's a photo of him in Ukraine. | ||
| Here's a photo of him in D.C. He's dressed pretty nicely. | ||
| He's going to meetings. | ||
| These are expensive trips. | ||
| We as a company have to think through how we utilize our resources to get our teams to these places when we want to do documentaries and things. | ||
| Yet this guy, this unemployed man with no money, you know he's unemployed because we can see it on his donations page. | ||
| Can we pull that up, boys? | ||
| ActBlue donations page for this guy. | ||
| He says unemployed. | ||
| So who's paying for these trips? | ||
| Who's paying for the weapons? | ||
| Who's paying for the ceramic tiles? | ||
| Who bought the gun? | ||
| How'd you buy a gun when you have 100 criminal charges? | ||
| You're a felon. | ||
| How are you voting? | ||
| How are you voting in a state you don't live in? | ||
| Go. | ||
| Would you look at this? | ||
| Dozens of donations to Democrats. | ||
| They're going to try and tell you this guy's a Republican. | ||
| Oh, he's a Trump supporter. | ||
| No, he's not. | ||
| There's no proof that he ever voted for Trump. | ||
| The guy has a vicious... | ||
| Screed online? | ||
| We have all of his tweets and many of his Facebook posts before they deep-sixed his accounts. | ||
| This guy hated Donald Trump. | ||
| This guy was regularly calling for the Iranians to kill Trump. | ||
| This guy wanted to fight and die for Ukraine. | ||
| And he donated exclusively to Democrats as of late. | ||
| So don't let them lie to you. | ||
| This is the information. | ||
| And now, if you're starting to sit back and wonder and think, wait a second, this seems really, really strange. | ||
| All of this information, I mean, it gets even worse. | ||
| Apparently, according to the people who arrested the guy, he was just like behaving. | ||
| He was behaving in such a strange manner. | ||
| Totally paradoxical to the moment. | ||
| Like as though this was part of a greater plan. | ||
| This is according to the sheriff. | ||
| According to the FBI, a former FBI agent, nobody knew where Donald Trump was that day. | ||
| How did this guy know where Donald Trump was that day? | ||
| Also, more importantly, do you remember this message from the Secret Service? | ||
| A Secret Service whistleblower saying there's going to be more attempts on Trump's life? | ||
| This was after the butler. | ||
| How did he know? | ||
| This guy was right. | ||
| We covered this in great detail. | ||
| This guy was right. | ||
| He said they will kill, they will try to shoot Trump again. | ||
| How did he know? | ||
| I'm not saying this guy's in the wrong. | ||
| This was a whistleblower sent to the Secret Service demanding that the top levels of the Secret Service get axed because they're the real problems here. | ||
| He says what's going to happen next is they're going to try again. | ||
| And sure enough, he was right. | ||
| Whew, baby. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Somebody who has oversight of the Secret Service, somebody who is currently investigating the first Donald Trump assassination, you have to say first, and we're going to start losing count. | ||
| It's a baker's dozen, going to get a discount here, is a wonderful member of Congress who's obviously... | ||
| We've joined our program before to talk about this. | ||
| A man who deeply understands what being in a war zone means and stakes right now. | ||
| Congressman Waltz joins the program. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| you you Congressman, there's too much here and we're so confused and we are so... | ||
| Bothered by the strange situations that presented themselves yesterday. | ||
| Like, maybe you can just start off the top. | ||
| How'd this individual get a gun in the first place? | ||
| Yeah, don't know. | ||
| Well, right, let's just start with, you know, Kamala Harris lied to the country during the debate, said nobody's in combat on her watch. | ||
| I'm going to tell President Trump he's starting to see more combat than I did as a Green Beret. | ||
| I mean, this is just absurd. | ||
| Here's one distinction from the framework that I think, as you follow this, Benny, that's really starting to piss me off. | ||
| The Secret Service is being pretty forthcoming in their failures and what went wrong. | ||
| And I'm happy to get into what we've been briefed thus far. | ||
| The FBI, on the other hand, Responsible for Crooks' motives. | ||
| Responsible for getting into those encrypted accounts. | ||
| All of the backstory. | ||
| How was he radicalized? | ||
| How did he make those IEDs? | ||
| How did they so quickly come to the conclusion that he acted alone, yet we know nothing about him? | ||
| Kind of all in the same breath. | ||
| They've gone down the dark information hole of it's all under investigation. | ||
| We'll let you know when we get around to it. | ||
| Totally unacceptable. | ||
| And I'm in discussions about getting them all subpoenaed because they should be. | ||
| That's just not acceptable. | ||
| This wasn't like Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter, a one-time incident that we could take our time. | ||
| You know, unpacking and cross the T's and dot the I's. | ||
| The Secret Service is responsible for its failures. | ||
| We were briefed last week, and I about fell out of my chair a half a dozen times. | ||
| The very basics, like giving local law enforcement instruction for how to secure the AGR building. | ||
| That didn't happen. | ||
| The site lead basically said, you guys got it, right? | ||
| Good to go. | ||
| Local law enforcement, especially in these rural areas, they may not have anybody they can spare. | ||
| I mean, they didn't cross-check, are you putting one officer on there? | ||
| Are you putting them on top of the roof? | ||
| Are you putting them inside the building? | ||
| What kind of assets are you putting in place? | ||
| The Secret Service site lead in advance didn't even check Butler County PA's plan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Butler brings in another county, Beaver County. | |
| And they never attended any of the meetings. | ||
| They all were on a common radio station or a common radio frequency. | ||
| Nobody was using it. | ||
| Everybody was texting and calling. | ||
| So when you have shooter on the roof, get them off the stage, act now, across the net, never happened. | ||
| The unified command post was in a different place than the detail lead for the president himself, his body guy. | ||
| When the Secret Service did get the call one minute before shots were fired, he should have been able to turn right there, look at the president, don't go out, or get him off the stage. | ||
| But they were in different locations. | ||
| There were so many failures across the board that it's hard to wrap your mind around and what was happening there. | ||
| And then the final thing, I still can't get a straight answer on, why was the building out of the security perimeter in the first place? | ||
| And why did you have a fence line? | ||
| 50 yards from the stage that anybody could have approached with any weapon system before they even touched a magnetometer. | ||
| And my message to the acting director was accountability isn't what just happened with your assistant director over the protective detail that you get to retire with a 30-year pension and sail off into the sunset and go fishing. | ||
| We need to see actual punitive accountability. | ||
| People fired. | ||
| People penalized. | ||
| We have people dead. | ||
| We have Americans dead because of these failures. | ||
| That's one. | ||
| And then two, and I know you've been covering this, the rhetoric from the left has got to stop. | ||
| This demonization, I mean, what did they take, a three-day break? | ||
| After Butler, PA, and they've gone right back to it, President Trump called out Harris for it during the debate, said, you know, the stuff you're saying about me about got my head blown off, and then here we are again. | ||
| And final thing, Benny, I'm the only one on the task force that's also on the Intel Committee. | ||
| I can't get into it here yet, but the plots from Iran are very real. | ||
| They are ongoing, and we have heard zilch, squat, nothing. | ||
| From this administration, not even a strongly worded letter in terms of consequences for an adversary that is trying to kill a former president and current candidate. | ||
| If it were Russia with ongoing plots trying to kill Harris or Biden, the media would be screaming their heads off, demanding condemnation from every Republican that came on television. | ||
| But it's just kind of... | ||
| Washed away. | ||
| And I'm glad you showed the book from Ruth, his online self-published book, that was apologizing to Iran and calling on them to assassinate him. | ||
| And with ongoing plots, with Iranian operatives trying to recruit people, is there a connection there? | ||
| And that's what I'm going to drill down from my perspective hard on. | ||
| I mean, you know... | ||
| Passes prologue, right? | ||
| So here's Iran producing a video where they kill President Trump on his golf course from the bushes. | ||
| This is available. | ||
| It's currently available. | ||
| This is put up by the Ayatollah Khomeini. | ||
| This guy had really mysterious, very strange international ties. | ||
| for some reason he was allowed to vote in the November primaries in North Carolina he lives in Hawaii he has a Biden Harris sticker on his truck he's traveled to DC and lobbied Congress traveled to Ukraine and tried to recruit soldiers for the war there and and he's unemployed how did this guy has a criminal record long as my arm 100 counts including a weapon of mass destruction count yet he's free to walk the streets and buy weapons and show up at Trump's golf course what | ||
| Yeah, and by the way, The plot that was thwarted was a Pakistani national who were recruiting spotters with ties to Iran, recruiting spotters, put down payments, put cash down for hitmen, and were recruiting protesters to stage a distraction. | ||
| So these plots are very real. | ||
| They're ongoing. | ||
| And the first plot was an Iranian operative that passed through Venezuela. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we've lost the congressman here, as tends to happen when we are having conversations that are uncomfortable or inconvenient. | ||
| Is he back? | ||
| Okay, sorry. | ||
| We apologize, congressman. | ||
| Please. | ||
| We got you back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, you're muted on your end. | |
| Alright, we'll... | ||
| Congressman, do you have us? | ||
| Can you hear us? | ||
| Let's have our producers work with the congressman to get him back. | ||
| We'll go back into the green room here and get... | ||
| I really want to finish his thoughts on this topic, please. | ||
| And we'll have him refresh and jump back online because he is the only member of the intel committee and the task force that is investigating this. | ||
| That would also have subpoena power and could maybe perhaps answer these questions. | ||
| What a time that we live in. | ||
| Who will be asking the questions of Ralph? | ||
| Where will we get? | ||
| Who was funding him? | ||
| How the hell did he know where Trump was going to be? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we are efforting back the congressman. | ||
| We'll make sure that we... | ||
| Okay, it sounds like we're going to be able to get in one more question for him, perhaps. | ||
| Perhaps we should ask him about... | ||
| And that's exactly what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to ask him about the investigation and who should be in charge of it. | ||
| The congressman is from Florida, and so obviously he's going to, I think, have some very strong feelings about this. | ||
| Potentially, we... | ||
| Boys, we got them back? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not yet. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm checking through here to see where we're going to pivot to. | ||
| But I do know we're at a tight time with the congressman, so I did want to get in. | ||
| One final question. | ||
| Boys, I need you to talk to me. | ||
| Go. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| Getting back with the congressman or no? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Alright. | ||
| They're having connection trouble with the congressman. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| If he comes on back, just pop him back in. | ||
| And if he comes back, if he pops back in and we have a good connection, I do have another important question, since he is from the state of Florida, to ask. | ||
| So many strange questions to ask right now. | ||
| Why's the guy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at the guys. | |
| Look at this guy. | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
| Something's wrong here. | ||
| You can see it. | ||
| You can see it in the eyes. | ||
| Wind of the soul. | ||
| Something's wrong here. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| Who's funding him? | ||
| How did he know where Trump was going to be? | ||
| Who's in charge of this investigation? | ||
| Are we going to actually get any answers? | ||
| The congressman's here telling us that the FBI has withheld all information from the investigation into the Trump assassination 1.0. | ||
| So what happens next? | ||
| Shooter's son, Ryan, Ralph's son, says his father hates Donald Trump, like all reasonable people. | ||
| Important for you to understand this, because they're going to try and frame this guy as a Trump supporter. | ||
| Hmm? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just like in Butler! | ||
| It's amazing! | ||
| He also says that his father's a martyr, effectively. | ||
| Every reason person hates Trump. | ||
| I don't like Trump either. | ||
| All my dads... | ||
| Trump had a couple of traffic tickets. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| But now he's effectively making an argument that his father, you know, I don't know, Trump had it coming, right? | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| He'll be glad when Trump's gone. | ||
| We have a ton of posts from this douchebag. | ||
| And we're very, very happy to be contributing, obviously, to what needs to be a full, thorough, and transparent investigation. | ||
| Former FBI official says the Trump Florida shooter may have had information on the inside. | ||
| This is a former FBI guy coming through saying, there are only three possible answers. | ||
| He guessed and got very, very lucky. | ||
| I guess you always have to, I guess, you know, there is crazy, I don't really believe in the coincidences that allow for this. | ||
| Because obviously the guy had been planning this for a long time. | ||
| He had a tactical, he had tactical backpacks with him with ceramic tile. | ||
| What that means is he had bulletproofing. | ||
| He had bulletproofing. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then he followed Trump to his golf course, and he may have inside information about Trump's schedule. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Okay, so Congressman, how are you doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| Nice. | ||
| We're good. | ||
| So you were talking about the FBI and how they withheld evidence. | ||
| You have a former FBI official who was on Fox News this morning saying this shooter clearly, clearly may have had inside information about Donald Trump's whereabouts. | ||
| This makes a lot of sense to us since we follow Donald Trump's movements obsessively on this show and we're well aware of where the president's going to be and planning to be. | ||
| This was an OTR trip. | ||
| How did he know the exact hole? | ||
| How was he prepared with an entire sniper nest set up? | ||
| Look, we'll dig into it. | ||
| I will say just two data points just to figure in. | ||
| One, it is not hard to figure out when President Trump's motorcade is moving and to see that movement towards the golf course. | ||
| When you're in Palm Beach and you know how confined and small that area is coming across the bridges to the fifth hole. | ||
| And I'm convinced, I don't know this for a fact, but I'm convinced that the reason the agent was scrubbing the tree line so closely. | ||
| It's because that's where the Pavarazzi usually sets up. | ||
| That's where the photographers usually set up. | ||
| It wouldn't even surprise me if the photos that you see in the Iranian video were taken from that hole. | ||
| And so I just don't think it would be that hard for him to see the motorcade movement. | ||
| And by the time you get to the clubhouse and play four holes for him to get in position. | ||
| But if there's an inside... | ||
| If there's an inside issue, I mean, that is just explosive in so many ways. | ||
| But just take those data points, and then I definitely praise Governor DeSantis for stepping in and putting his resources in. | ||
| I call on, but I also call on New York and New Jersey, where President Trump also has residences, also has courses. | ||
| If the Secret Service is saying their resource starved to get up to a presidential level for Biden, Harris, and Trump, and you have the UN with 150 world leaders coming in, you've got world leaders coming in to Delaware this weekend, if there's a resource problem, then the governors need to step in and help. | ||
| This is all hands on deck for the sake of our republic. | ||
| And again, I call on Democrats, if you really care so much about our democracy, Then stop demonizing them, because when you tell your followers that the ends justify the means, he has to be stopped no matter what it takes. | ||
| Clearly, some deranged individuals are listening, and they're taking the left at their word, and they're willing to do anything necessary. | ||
| And then we already talked about the foreign components here. | ||
| There is a lot to unpack. | ||
| Just very quickly here, I know you're from Florida. | ||
| I want to give sort of a closing argument for what the state of Florida should be doing here in this investigation. | ||
| You've obviously just detailed for us how tough it is to work with the FBI, how you know nothing, how we may find out in 2026 something about Thomas Crooks, no one will care. | ||
| What should the state of Florida be doing? | ||
| I am advocating for daily press conferences, for releasing of information to the public. | ||
| For full capture of the man's electronic devices, who he was working with, who he was communicating with, who was being funded, I think the public deserves to know this and know this now. | ||
| 200%. | ||
| Information that we get, and look, I went right to the microphones immediately after the acting director of the Secret Service briefed us on Thursday and said, here's the failures that he just shared with us. | ||
| Of course, there are some elements that are classified, and rightly so, but I also will tell you, Benny, I will question if I think things are getting overclassified. | ||
| So we should be releasing to the Republic information that we get as we get it. | ||
| The service is doing better. | ||
| I praise the Florida Sheriff of Palm Beach yesterday for having a press conference immediately, having the Secret Service there, having the FBI there. | ||
| The acting director was on a plane last night to go walk the ground. | ||
| I encouraged him to have a press conference today. | ||
| Look, we're in the middle of a contentious presidential campaign for the future of this country, and we have our enemies trying to kill one of the candidates. | ||
| The public needs to... | ||
| We know everything we know as we know it. | ||
| Like you said, and the FBI has kind of taken this, well, we'll get to it when we cross all our T's and dot our I's when we get to it. | ||
| That's unacceptable. | ||
| Yeah, totally unacceptable. | ||
| And this man is alive and he can be interrogated. | ||
| We can find out. | ||
| You can ask questions of him. | ||
| And we really hope that Ron DeSantis captures everything. | ||
| He's done a great job here in the state of Florida and obviously a law and order governor. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you so much, Congressman. | ||
| Please come back anytime and brief us. | ||
| We deeply, deeply appreciate it. | ||
| Everybody follow the great representative, Mike Waltz. | ||
| Waltz. | ||
| With a T. Okay, Waltz. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I'll never ever say it incorrectly again. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Godspeed. | ||
| Godspeed, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, locking it. | ||
| In for the truth on this program, asking the questions. | ||
| There is no such thing as a conspiracy theory. | ||
| There's just unproven assumptions, sets of facts that we need to, like, investigate. | ||
| You've got to have the capacity to ask questions. | ||
| And that's what we're going to do. | ||
| Ryan Rout, none of it makes sense. | ||
| All of it smells. | ||
| All of it stinks. | ||
| I smell a rat. | ||
| It's very, very strange. | ||
| A man who is often right on these issues and is regularly the leader when it comes to asking the right questions in Congress, in the Senate chamber, where it is very rare to do so and break with leadership, is the great Senator Mike Lee. | ||
| He joins us live now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| you you you There's nothing wrong with being a skeptic, Senator. | ||
| And I think the American people are rightly skeptical About the feds swoop in, once again, taking over these investigations and are saying, we want answers now. | ||
| Why is President Trump suffering through multiple assassination attempts in the lead up to this presidential election? | ||
| Well, yeah, look, first of all, we should all pray for President Trump and pray for America and fight for freedom. | ||
| You know, what the left routinely says about Trump creates this mindset that I can only describe with a... | ||
| The title of a movie, Operation Valkyrie. | ||
| And it's that kind of mindset that leads to assassination attempts. | ||
| If anyone needs to tone down the rhetoric, it's the left. | ||
| Now, this is the second time someone's tried to kill Trump just in the last few months. | ||
| And Chuck Schumer is wasting time with messaging bills on things like in vitro fertilization with a bill that does a whole lot more than that to try to hurt Republicans rather than to protect our... | ||
| Democratic institutions in our constitutional republic to say nothing about our presidential candidates. | ||
| This isn't helpful. | ||
| And it's certainly not helpful for people going around saying things like Trump is a direct threat to American civilization and he has to be eliminated. | ||
| And yet you continue to hear things like this uttered on MSNBC and other channels even within the last 24 hours. | ||
| It's disgraceful. | ||
| So, what happens next? | ||
| We've gotten nothing from Butler. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| And it's been incredibly frustrating. | ||
| Your colleagues, Senator Hawley, out of, I think, a fit of pique, this morning said, here's what all the whistleblowers have told me. | ||
| I'm just going to release all the report. | ||
| Your other colleague, Richard Blumenthal, said the American people will be disgusted when they find out the security lapses. | ||
| The Secret Service is something typically not a tone that he strikes, especially since he Will we ever get answers or will this just become normal where we just have to assume that if you stand against the machine in Washington, D.C., you're just going to have shots on your life? | ||
| Yeah, look, I hope and expect that we will get answers. | ||
| We will get answers, especially if we see Donald Trump elected as the next president of the United States. | ||
| Then the information will come out. | ||
| In the meantime, I don't think we're going to see anything. | ||
| Terribly certain come out of the investigation surrounding Butler. | ||
| Now, with this attempt yesterday that we had taking place at President Trump's Trump International Golf Club, we do have some light at the end of that tunnel because the state of Florida, as my friend Governor Ron DeSantis announced yesterday, will be conducting its own investigation regarding that attempted assassination. | ||
| And that's a good thing because the state of Florida has its own subpoena power, its own investigative authorities, meaning we don't have to rely on federal investigators who ultimately answer to somebody who serves at the pleasure of President Biden in order to release this truth. | ||
| The people certainly deserve the truth about the would-be assassin and about how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and the current GOP nominee. | ||
| It is a little bit different than Butler in other respects, including the fact that the shooter in the Butler attempted assassination is dead, though he's not on trial, which makes the Secret Service's penurious holding of information, the stenchy release of any information relevant to it, all the more inexcusable. | ||
| It's not like there's a criminal trial that they have to prepare for in that case with regard to that shooter. | ||
| And yet they're holding it all back, and I think that's disgraceful. | ||
| Like I say, I think that will change once President Trump becomes president again. | ||
| You're a man who knows the Constitution better than anybody. | ||
| I'm sure everyone's taking a hard look at the Tenth Amendment right now and saying Ron DeSantis does have every right. | ||
| Eric Prince was on our show yesterday, right off the top and within the hour of this happening, saying Ron DeSantis needs to lock this down, lock this information down. | ||
| State agents in as witnesses to interrogations, go through his electronic devices. | ||
| This is something that's been such a black box out of Butler. | ||
| Oh, we can't get... | ||
| Best hackers in the world, we can't get into his phones. | ||
| All these platforms clearly have back doors into them, but we just can't figure out what Thomas Crookes' motives were. | ||
| This is clearly something that Ron DeSantis has the right and actually the obligation in this current environment to do. | ||
| And it's going to be good because then we'll be able to make sure that the evidence that is put out there is true and is clear and has been internally verified, right? | ||
| No, that's exactly right. | ||
| And they have this investigation going, I believe, with an eye toward keeping the public informed. | ||
| It doesn't mean they'll be able to tell us everything right away, but it does mean that They are doing an investigation with an eye toward making it something that can inform the public once they have the facts straight, once they have a handle on what has happened, | ||
| as opposed to the investigation that is allegedly going on within the Secret Service, run by many of the same people whose lapses in judgment led to the assassination attempt in Butler in the first place. | ||
| Their effort seems to have no end in sight. | ||
| It seems to have no objective that relates to the eventual release to the public of what they discover. | ||
| What changes in a Trump presidency? | ||
| I know that you're actively advocating and hitting the campaign trail 50 days away from the election. | ||
| People are rightly sick of having their federal government lie to them. | ||
| And in just these short, small hearings in the Senate and in the House, the Secret Service lied to the American public, Senator. | ||
| The Secret Service lied to us about their protection of President Trump and Butler. | ||
| So, I mean, faith is at an all-time low, I believe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They lied to us in the first instance, told us some things that simply weren't true. | ||
| And then they made it worse, you know. | ||
| About two weeks after the shooting, we held a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we had Acting Director Roe on the stand, and I asked him some very basic questions, questions that he should have been able to answer a couple of weeks after the attempted assassination in Butler, and he still didn't know them. | ||
| He still said he couldn't answer them. | ||
| For example, I asked him what happened to the... | ||
| Three sharpshooters, the three snipers who were placed at that window with a direct overlook onto the roof where Thomas Crooks was positioned at the time he shot Donald Trump. | ||
| And he said that investigation is ongoing. | ||
| Look, this is a very basic fact. | ||
| There is no criminal trial coming up for which they have to preserve evidence. | ||
| There is no reason why he shouldn't have known that and shouldn't have been able to tell me about that. | ||
| Now, that itself was now about going on two months later, and he still hasn't told us anything about that. | ||
| That's inexcusable and, to me, suggests a willful desire to keep from the public things that are the public's business to know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yeah, I mean, this is a guy who's gotten hundreds of, plus 100 million votes for the presidency. | ||
| He's one of the... | ||
| Most famous, if not the most famous man on earth, Donald Trump, with the largest footprint of any politician in the world. | ||
| And yet the Secret Service is saying, and this was confounding yesterday to me in the press conference, they're saying, well, he's not the sitting president. | ||
| If he was the president, we would have locked it down. | ||
| He's just a candidate. | ||
| To my understanding, you match the detail to the threat level, not just the office. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, look, it is also true that the sitting president does have a lot of protection, and I don't think any of us would dispute that. | ||
| But that doesn't mean that when you have a candidate, especially the leading challenger, the only significant challenger to the Democratic Party candidate, Donald Trump, who has faced multiple assassination attempts now, doesn't mean that you don't raise his protective detail. | ||
| Even if that means raising it to the same level that President Biden has. | ||
| You've got to keep raising that until it's adequate to address the series of threats that he faces. | ||
| And his threat level is very significant. | ||
| And his detail needs to reflect that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What happens if we find out that this man who has been advocating for the Ukrainian Foreign Legion has gone to Ukraine a bunch of times, tried to recruit soldiers? | ||
| Nothing makes sense about this guy's life. | ||
| How'd he get the money? | ||
| He's unemployed. | ||
| How'd he get the money to go to Ukraine? | ||
| How'd he get the money to, like, travel Eastern Europe? | ||
| Go to D.C., lobbied your colleagues on the Helsinki Commission. | ||
| How does he get the funds to do this? | ||
| Makes no sense. | ||
| How's a guy who has 100 criminal felonies on his record buy a gun? | ||
| What happens if we find out that there is some type of foreign involvement here that is nefarious? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Look, if we get to that point, and if what we have is foreign involvement, if he was acting as the agent of a foreign power of some sort, that'll be deeply concerning. | ||
| And there are an infinite number of questions that we'll have to follow from that. | ||
| But right now, we don't know. | ||
| What we do know is that this guy was not a fan of Donald Trump. | ||
| We know that he does appear to have been a fan of various causes, championed by people on the left. | ||
| And we know that he shot at President Trump and is now in custody. | ||
| We don't know a whole lot more else than that, but I hope and expect that we will learn more very, very soon. | ||
| Because this needs to be known, and it needs to be known right away. | ||
| I just want to end on sort of a personal note. | ||
| I know that you are a believer, and I got to tell you, you know... | ||
| I don't believe that it's the Secret Service defending Trump, which is why he's alive today. | ||
| I don't believe that any federal authority or any law enforcement authority is the reason why President Trump's alive today. | ||
| I believe the man has the hand of God on him. | ||
| And that is the sole purpose, the sole reason that Donald Trump is alive is that there must be some greater purpose here. | ||
| Because nobody should be able to endure what the man's been through and survive. | ||
| I know you're a believer. | ||
| I just want to, in closing, give you maybe a chance to... | ||
| Sound off on that and your thoughts for the next 50 days about protecting the president. | ||
| Yeah, well, Benny, it's certainly the case that if a sparrow can't fall from a tree without God's notice, surely an empire can't rise into existence without his hand. | ||
| We don't know exactly what involvement he might have had in protecting Donald Trump, but I'm very grateful and feel blessed. | ||
| That his life was spared, first in Butler and then yesterday in West Palm Beach. | ||
| When you think of all of the bad things that would flow from that, this would be a devastating loss to the American people, regardless of your political party, regardless of whether you love Donald Trump or not. | ||
| This would be devastating. | ||
| So it is a blessing, and I appreciate it as such. | ||
| And as far as we know, this may well have been divine protection. | ||
| But either way, it's a blessing. | ||
| And I'm very, very grateful that he's safe. | ||
| I suspect you, like me, like so many other Americans, heaved a huge sigh of relief yesterday after learning that shots have been fired and then learning immediately thereafter that President Trump was safe. | ||
| Regardless of how that came about, I'm grateful. | ||
| We'll be grateful for you, Senator, as you continue to ask these questions. | ||
| Just in closing here, is there anything on the schedule to do another hearing like you did with Director Rowe on this new assassination attempt? | ||
| There undoubtedly will be. | ||
| I look forward to that. | ||
| There's nothing scheduled yet. | ||
| This occurred less than 24 hours ago, and so it's not entirely surprising it hasn't been scheduled yet, but I'll be... | ||
| Pretty upset if by the end of the week we haven't put something on the counter. | ||
| I'm going to push to make sure that that happens. | ||
| But look, the American people need to think this through long and hard. | ||
| To think through how things like this happen and think through the fact that we've got to come together to make sure that Donald Trump gets elected. | ||
| The people who are trying very hard to make sure that he doesn't make it to a second term need to be stopped. | ||
| And we need to make abundantly clear that this is not an acceptable way to resolve differences. | ||
| I call on people on the other side of the aisle to stop using terminology that inflames and that tends to incite people to violence. | ||
| When you compare someone to Hitler, that is what that does. | ||
| So if you want to make the Hitler comparison, you've got to be prepared to back it up. | ||
| They can't, and therefore they haven't, and they won't. | ||
| Because it's not a fair comparison here. | ||
| But when you do that, and you do it unfairly, as they have here, over and over and over again, these are the fruits. | ||
| This is where it leads. | ||
| And I call on them to stop. | ||
| Yeah, it's very much a dehumanizing death cult. | ||
| And if you disagree with them politically, they really don't care if you live or die. | ||
| And it is an awful and grotesque place to be politically. | ||
| And you obviously can't share a country. | ||
| With an ideology like that, you can't because it ends badly. | ||
| And we've seen that time and time again in history. | ||
| Everybody follow Based Mike Lee. | ||
| You can find him here with his nearly 300,000 followers and this incredible account with the beautiful avatar there with the glowing eyes. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, the senator who's been... | ||
| Obviously on the right side of pretty much everything. | ||
| And sometimes the lone man in the wilderness calling out. | ||
| But always right. | ||
| look forward to your questioning when there's a new hearing on this new assassination attempt. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| We have more breaking news. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Getting caught up. | ||
| The AP. | ||
| Records show the suspect in the attempted Trump assassination spent nearly 12 hours near the golf course before being confronted. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So this guy was lurking around for half, for 12 straight hours? | ||
| Records show the suspect attempted a Trump assassination. | ||
| 12 hours in the golf course before being confronted, federal prosecutors' complaint against Ralph has been filed in court. | ||
| According to the complaint, cell phone records show that Ralph was in the area of the golf course for about 12 hours, from approximately 1.59 a.m. until 1.31 p.m. on Sunday. | ||
| How'd he know? | ||
| How'd he know Trump was going there? | ||
| How'd he know? | ||
| How was a man able to stalk? | ||
| And to lurk in the bushes for 12 straight hours. | ||
| This had been framed as a crime of opportunity. | ||
| Where the man, this is so strange, where the man just like, you know, showed up, got lucky. | ||
| This is what the FBI was saying earlier. | ||
| He just got lucky. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He just chose, he chose the right day, the right time, right course. | |
| No, man, the dude was planning this. | ||
| He was stalking Trump. | ||
| Apparently he smiled and laughed during a court appearance? | ||
| This is what the report says. | ||
| We have no video of this, sadly. | ||
| But according to the report, Ralph, who was in court this morning, in federal court this morning, facing charges, was smiling and laughing about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is really creepy. | |
| It's becoming stranger. | ||
| All of it is becoming very, very odd. | ||
| It's becoming very strange. | ||
| This guy was profiled multiple times in the press. | ||
| He's got a bunch of New York Times articles, Newsweek articles. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| The Legion growing. | ||
| Ryan, Ralph. | ||
| This is from the New York Times. | ||
| Former construction worker from Greensboro, North Carolina, seeking recruits. | ||
| From Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban, Mr. Routh, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine! | ||
| So he's sitting there recruiting for Ukraine? | ||
| He's recruiting fighters from Afghanistan and Iran to go fight in Ukraine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does this, like, scream? | |
| That there's something else going on with this guy? | ||
| It's not normal behavior. | ||
| We can probably purchase passports through Pakistan since it's such a corrupt country, he said in an interview. | ||
| It's not clear whether he succeeded, but a former Afghan soldier that he'd been in contact with was interested in fighting, if that meant leaving Iran where he was living illegally. | ||
| Oh, okay, so he's doing recruitment efforts in Iran. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Fight for Ukraine. | ||
| Sitting there, like, offering cash. | ||
| Where's the money come from? | ||
| Dude, this guy. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| This guy just has asset written all over him. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| What's happening here? | ||
| Let's see multiple videos of this individual talking about his work. | ||
| He was completely obsessive. | ||
| About the Ukraine war. | ||
| You can see him. | ||
| He is with Jose Andres. | ||
| This, I believe, is in Washington, D.C. There's a famous chef. | ||
| So they're posing with him. | ||
| A bunch of Ukrainian flags. | ||
| You have interviews with the guy talking about how he's going to go and recruit spiders for Ukraine. | ||
| I don't... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't... | |
| You can make a bunch of assumptions, but at some point you're going to have to sit back and really ask the questions. | ||
| Who's paying this guy? | ||
| Who's putting this guy up to it? | ||
| Where's the money coming from? | ||
| Classic prosecution 101. | ||
| Where's the money come from? | ||
| Who's doing the training? | ||
| Who paid? | ||
| How'd Thomas Crooks get a rifle? | ||
| Rifles are expensive. | ||
| How'd Thomas Crooks get the capacity to build bombs? | ||
| Josh Hawley releasing a report today out of anger, actually. | ||
| Hawley releasing his whistleblower report. | ||
| What did it find? | ||
| It's a long report. | ||
| We'll pop it up on screen here, but here's what it found. | ||
| DHS personnel unfamiliar with security protocols only trained and received only Training received by mainly Homeland Security investigation agents, these are the Lady Ghostbusters, were a two-hour webinar. | ||
| Law enforcement was supposed to be on the roof where Crooks was shot. | ||
| The post was completely abandoned. | ||
| The night before the rally, Secret Service denied officers utilize Butler County drones. | ||
| U.S. Secret Service Counterintelligence Division did not perform pre-routine surveillance. | ||
| gunmen would have been handcuffed after being spotted with the rangefinder if the U.S. Secret Service had actually Secret Service agent lead lacked competence and experience, was a loathsome Trump hater. | ||
| We actually know who she is. | ||
| Secret Service preemptively informed Pittsburgh Field Office that the Butler rally was not going to be receiving additional security resources. | ||
| Josh Hawley's report concludes, Two months have now elapsed since President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated. | ||
| The American people still know nothing about what happened. | ||
| The Secret Service, FBI, Department of Homeland Security have not been forthcoming with the American people. | ||
| Far from it. | ||
| They have closed ranks, refused to confirm or deny whistleblower allegations and resisted meaningful oversight. | ||
| Sources with direct knowledge of the Secret Service's own internal investigations have alleged to Senator Hawley that the Department of Homeland Security is leaning on Secret Service to not comply. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| They're covering something up. | ||
| Only people who have something to hide are not forthcoming with what is happening. | ||
| Here! | ||
| Here's all the evidence! | ||
| Here's all the emails! | ||
| Here's all the text messages! | ||
| After January 6th, they deleted all the text messages inside of the Secret Service. | ||
| What does that say? | ||
| They cremated Thomas Gross' body. | ||
| What does that say? | ||
| We're watching very, very closely what happens with Ryan Routh. | ||
| We're watching very, very closely. | ||
| I want to make sure that we get to President Trump's statements here. | ||
| President Trump making his first statement. | ||
| This is the first thing that Donald Trump has said. | ||
| Again, we wanted this 0-2. | ||
| We wanted this to be real, but this is actually a Photoshop. | ||
| This is what President Trump did say. | ||
| I'd like to thank everybody in my concern, well wishes, and certainty. | ||
| Certainly an interesting day for President Trump. | ||
| They don't build them like that anymore. | ||
| Most importantly, I want to thank the Secret Service, Rick Bradshaw, his Office of Brave, Dedicated Patriots, law enforcement, an incredible job done today, Trump International, keeping me... | ||
| Safe. | ||
| The job was outstanding. | ||
| I'm very proud to be an American. | ||
| Well, at least they got the guy this time. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Like, at least they got the guy. | ||
| At least the guy is here and alive. | ||
| A quote from President Trump on Fox News. | ||
| Clown him back here in the script. | ||
| We've been sort of free-forming this morning. | ||
| He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| Good for you. | ||
| Good way to put it on. | ||
| Way to put it on. | ||
| ALX, let me know if we have any of that rhetoric. | ||
| I want to play some of these clips. | ||
| He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris. | ||
| He acted on it, says President Trump. | ||
| Here in a Fox News, what was not an on-camera interview, but what was a written interview. | ||
| Their rhetoric caused me to be shot at when I'm the one who's going to save the country. | ||
| They're the ones who are destroying the country, both from the inside and out. | ||
| Here are the photographs of the man's backpack and gun. | ||
| The assassin. | ||
| I can't really call this person a man. | ||
| You can see the gun here. | ||
| Many are saying it's a very strange build and model. | ||
| And you can see the GoPro right there. | ||
| This is finally a close-up image of what is the sniper's nest here. | ||
| The two bags there, filled with ceramic tile, are intended to prevent or to absorb bullets. | ||
| Inside of bullpen vests. | ||
| Ceramic tile. | ||
| So this was the sniper's nest there. | ||
| He had the GoPro. | ||
| He wanted to film Trump getting killed. | ||
| There's the GoPro. | ||
| You can see it hanging right there. | ||
| I have actually GoPros set right beside me here in the studio. | ||
| Here they are. | ||
| This is what they look like. | ||
| This is what a GoPro looks like right there. | ||
| Small camera. | ||
| You can see small camera lens. | ||
| I'm sure you're familiar with these. | ||
| They're very famous. | ||
| Very popular. | ||
| Camera. | ||
| Used in extreme sports situations and so on. | ||
| If you're skateboarding or mountain climbing or base jumping, you'll put a GoPro on. | ||
| This man hung a GoPro in order to film his killing of Trump. | ||
| What kind of a firearm is that? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| I know there are plenty of firearm experts in the audience. | ||
| What the hell is that? | ||
| People are saying it's a very strange build. | ||
| I gotta tell you, I have not pinned it down. | ||
| People are having, there are big arguments online right now as to what that firearm is. | ||
| How the hell did a guy who has had 100 arrests, who's had an arrest for weapons of mass destruction, can anybody explain that to me? | ||
| It's on his arrest record. | ||
| Possession of a weapon of mass destruction. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Can somebody explain how this guy got a gun? | ||
| How's this guy voting? | ||
| We're going to keep asking these questions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to keep asking these questions. | |
| Whew, baby. | ||
| The sheer bloody cheek of these people, Kamala Harris in 2018, saying she wants to kill Trump. | ||
| You know this video exists? | ||
| Went through our nuclear on our pages yesterday. | ||
| There's millions of views. | ||
| Kamala Harris saying, I want to kill Trump. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be? | |
| Does one of us have to come out alive? | ||
| There are people we don't like on this program. | ||
| There are people that we disagree with politically and that we hope that they are never in power again. | ||
| There are some people that we hope are in prison, actually. | ||
| You will never, ever catch this show wishing for any bodily harm or any harm to anyone. | ||
| We have said it many times over. | ||
| We hope that every American, all of our fellow Americans, live peacefully and happily. | ||
| Some of them in prison cells. | ||
| Yes, obviously, we want the criminals to go to jail. | ||
| But we will never, ever advocate for that. | ||
| What a grotesque thing to say. | ||
| Kamala Harris followed up by the cackle. | ||
| Totally maniacal. | ||
| It's like an effing Joker villain scene right there. | ||
| Like a Joker origin story scene. | ||
| Kamala Harris maniacally cackling as she says she wants to kill Trump. | ||
| In case you're wondering if this person was a Kamala Harris fan and the bumper sticker is not good enough for you, here's the guy actually literally parroting what Kamala Harris is saying. | ||
| Literally taking her quotes and using them. | ||
| Go. | ||
| Extremist so-called leaders who are attempting to undermine our democracy and assault. | ||
| Our most fundamental freedoms. | ||
| Freedom, liberty, and democracy are on the ballot this fall. | ||
| Hmm, hmm, wow. | ||
| Democracy is on the ballot. | ||
| Democracy, democracy, defender of democracy. | ||
| Donald Trump will destroy democracy. | ||
| Donald Trump will destroy democracy. | ||
| We put this up last night. | ||
| We put it up last night. | ||
| And it's time for Republicans to grow a pair, man. | ||
| And for the leader of the RNC, the House, and the Senate to come together and to say, we're not going to allow it anymore. | ||
| We're not going to allow it. | ||
| We've seen enough. | ||
| The congressional shooting, James T. Hodgkinson, I went through that guy's social media. | ||
| I was the one guy who was able to scrape all the social media. | ||
| This guy was completely radicalized by MSNBC. | ||
| Totally and completely radicalized by the left. | ||
| Donald Trump up with a nuke. | ||
| New comment about this. | ||
| Donald Trump posting literally minutes ago. | ||
| Pop that up. | ||
| And he's hitting the nail on the head here. | ||
| When will Republicans stop playing games? | ||
| The leader of the House, the Senate, and the RNC need to say, we are banning all appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC. | ||
| Here to fore and forthwith until you apologize for radicalizing assassins against the Republican Party. | ||
| Until you apologize for your rhetoric. | ||
| And then take your little minions, take your little stenographers in their cheap Joseph A. Banks two-for-one suits here in Washington, D.C., and have them go through and itemize the things that are said with impunity and regularity about Donald Trump. | ||
| We'll play you a supercut in just a second. | ||
| Donald Trump hitting the nail on the head here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have those slogans. | |
| Donald Trump needs to be eliminated. | ||
| Donald Trump needs to be taken out. | ||
| We need to put a target on Donald Trump. | ||
| He's a threat to democracy. | ||
| He's literally Hitler. | ||
| State, we are going to disallow any Republican from ever appearing on your airwaves unless you ban these phrases. | ||
| Unless you ban these open calls to violence that are leading to extremism, assassination attempts, and political violence by the only faction of politics in America that commits political violence, which is the left. | ||
| Donald Trump speaking on True Social. | ||
| The rhetoric lies as amplified by the false statements made by comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged, highly partisan ABC News debate. | ||
| All the ridiculous lawsuits, especially designed to inflict damage by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' political opponent, me, has taken politics of our country into a whole new level of hatred, abuse, and distrust. | ||
| Because of this communist left rhetoric, the bullets are flying, Trump says. | ||
| The bullets are flying. | ||
| And it will only get worse, allowing millions of people from places unknown to invade and take over our country. | ||
| As an unpardonable sin, our borders must be closed. | ||
| The terrorists and criminals, mentally insane, immediately removed from American cities and towns, deported back to their countries of origin. | ||
| We want people to come here into our country, but they must love our nation, come in legally through a system of merit. | ||
| The world is laughing at us fools or stealing our jobs. | ||
| And our wealth, we cannot let them laugh any longer. | ||
| Make America great again. | ||
| Strong statement there by the president moments ago on Truth Social. | ||
| A just wild series of events taking place. | ||
| We've got to pop into two or three different things. | ||
| You've already seen this supercut. | ||
| I don't think we really need to go there. | ||
| I do want to play you a breaking news update because the criminal complaint was just leveled in court against this guy. | ||
| So Ryan Ralph has a criminal complaint in court. | ||
| He just appeared in court. | ||
| Apparently he was laughing and sneering in the court of law. | ||
| The sheriff has said that He's behaving very strangely. | ||
| And they're going to try and say this guy's out of his mind. | ||
| And he may well be. | ||
| But, like, what's going on here? | ||
| Like, who behaves like this? | ||
| And how, again, like, will this investigation be handled? | ||
| Very important breaking news right now from the courthouse. | ||
| We've been looking. | ||
| We've been waiting for this. | ||
| Okay, so what is he being charged with? | ||
| And what do we know now? | ||
| Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Just moments ago on Fox News. | ||
| From the courthouse. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Harris, we're looking through this criminal complaint that was released on the federal court docket. | |
| As we know, he made his appearance in federal court. | ||
| And I want to read some of this man's history. | ||
| It says that on or about December 20, 2002, he was convicted in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he's from, of possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction. | ||
| That's a Class F felony. | ||
| Law enforcement indicates further that on or about March 3, 2020, So he remains right now in federal custody. | ||
| He has a hearing next week as we look at that second photograph released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office where he was picked up. | ||
| Meanwhile, Ron Rowe, the acting Secret Service Director Harris, on the ground right now in West Palm Beach, meeting members of Trump's Detail, also members of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and Martin County Sheriff's Office. | ||
| He was once a West Palm Beach police officer himself. | ||
| He will be giving a briefing later today with other members of law enforcement. | ||
| Harris, the Secret Service, the DOJ and FBI, all time. | ||
| We saw the DOJ charges, the FBI... | ||
| Another big question. | ||
| The DOJ filed those charges. | ||
| And the Secret Service, though, doing some self-reflection about this, how this happened. | ||
| There are conversations going on, as you can imagine, again. | ||
| Two months after what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, about beefing up the security perimeter as if Donald Trump would be the current president, to give him the same security perimeter as the current president and vice president. | ||
| Harris? | ||
| All right, real quickly, just a follow-up for you. | ||
| So, Ruth was convicted of possessing a mass weapon of death. | ||
| Any sort of comment or details did they give on what that would have been? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No details according to this criminal complaint. | |
| It just says that it was a weapon, possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction. | ||
| I'm reading from the complaint violating North Carolina general statutes, which is a Class F felony. | ||
| That's how they were able to say that he was a felon in possession of a firearm. | ||
| And I'm told that more DOJ charges, Harris, will likely be coming. | ||
| They just charged him with these two so they could keep him in custody. | ||
| What about the state charges? | ||
| Where's Attorney General Ashley Moody here in the state of Florida? | ||
| None of it makes any sense. | ||
| Has anybody interrogated this guy? | ||
| Do we have? | ||
| Clearly, we must have his devices. | ||
| The guy's tweeted hundreds of times. | ||
| I think he sent something like 507 posts on X. All of them have been cataloged. | ||
| Where was his DMs? | ||
| He's tweeted at David Muir. | ||
| He's released a self-published book where he calls for Iran to kill Trump, and he's gone to Ukraine to try and fight in a war in Ukraine. | ||
| He wanted to die for Ukraine. | ||
| He said it before. | ||
| He wants to recruit soldiers. | ||
| None of it, again, none of it makes any sense. | ||
| Where to get the funding? | ||
| Where to get the info? | ||
| Where to get the intel? | ||
| A sheriff this morning was asked in Palm Beach, is this the... | ||
| A part of a larger conspiracy theory to kill Trump? | ||
| Can you comment on the idea that this was part of a larger conspiracy theory to try and eliminate Donald Trump? | ||
| Here's what that sheriff had to say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
About two miles to get all the resources. | |
| How was he driving when your deputy saw him? | ||
| He was smart. | ||
| He was just driving with the flow of traffic. | ||
| I think that he may have thought he got away with it. | ||
| Of course, he couldn't have known that there was a witness who really did the right thing, took a picture of him, took a picture of the tag. | ||
| He may have thought he got away with it. | ||
| Of course, he couldn't have known that there was a witness who really did the right thing, took a picture of him, took a picture of the tag, and he was just going to drive himself back to wherever he came from. | ||
| Did he have any, to your knowledge, any ties to Martin County or the Treasure Coast? | ||
| To my knowledge, does he have any ties to Martin County? | ||
| To my knowledge, the answer is no, I have no knowledge. | ||
| I think what we're finding out is he's not from this area, which, of course, raises the bigger question. | ||
| How does a guy from not here, get all the way to Trump International, realize that the president, former president of the United States is golfing and is able to get a rifle in that vicinity? | ||
| I think that's the question the FBI, the Secret Service, or Glaser focused on today. | ||
| Is this guy part of a conspiracy? | ||
| Is he a lone gunman? | ||
| If he's a lone gunman, President Trump is that much safer because we have him. | ||
| But if he's part of a conspiracy, then this whole thing really takes on a very ominous tone. | ||
| The sheriff, you mentioned the witnesses. | ||
| Correction, of course, this is breaking, and that press conference was ongoing. | ||
| The sheriff himself brought up, is he part of a conspiracy? | ||
| The sheriff himself is saying, is this guy part of a larger conspiracy right now? | ||
| Not what you want to hear from law enforcement. | ||
| What are we hearing from the FBI? | ||
| The FBI is telling us that the million-dollar question is, how the hell did Ryan Ralph knew where President Trump was going to be? | ||
| Why was he stalking out this position from 1 a.m.? | ||
| How is he sitting in this exact position waiting for Donald Trump? | ||
| Who had the kind of intimate knowledge of Donald Trump's OTR schedule that would have allowed... | ||
| For that information to pass through, and then most importantly, where the hell is the guy's electronic devices? | ||
| Where's his phone? | ||
| Who's telling him what? | ||
| On what platforms? | ||
| We need to know those questions. | ||
| Did somebody tell Ryan Ralph where Donald Trump was going to be? | ||
| Again, Ryan Ralph was standing guard. | ||
| Standing guard. | ||
| Ryan Ralph was sitting in a sniper's nest that he built and came prepared for with a GoPro ready to film. | ||
| His assassination of Donald Trump. | ||
| He was sure as day that he was going to get a shot on the president. | ||
| How? | ||
| How was he so certain? | ||
| What is it that made him so certain of that? | ||
| Is there inside information that was being fed to him? | ||
| Trump will be here. | ||
| You better get prepared. | ||
| You better get there early so that nobody sees you going in and out. | ||
| Guys. | ||
| Again, they're trying to tell you the lie that this guy was a Trump voter. | ||
| Nope, no record of him ever voting for Trump. | ||
| He did have Kamala Harris and Joe Biden stickers on his vehicles. | ||
| He did donate to Democrats. | ||
| He did go and try and fight for Ukraine in the war. | ||
| He does have very shady and strange connections. | ||
| One of the first people that he followed on social media is his connections to the CIA. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Don't come. | ||
| We can see all this stuff. | ||
| It's all public information. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Is this an op gone wrong? | ||
| What's happening here? | ||
| We deserve to know. | ||
| Why is he behaving like this? | ||
| Why does he have this creepy smile as he's being arrested? | ||
| Why does he look like that? | ||
| And why is the sheriff saying, why is the sheriff without any prompting saying this might be part of a larger conspiracy? | ||
| Where the hell is the guy, where does his money come from? | ||
| I want the guy's bank accounts. | ||
| I want them immediately. | ||
| Where's the money come from exactly? | ||
| Somebody explain that to me? | ||
| This is very expensive. | ||
| Have you ever flown to Hawaii? | ||
| Do you know how expensive it is to fly to Hawaii? | ||
| I don't know anybody who could just willy-nilly fly from Hawaii to D.C. for fun with no job and then to Ukraine. | ||
| Where the hell? | ||
| Where's the money come from? | ||
| It doesn't work. | ||
| Keep asking the questions. | ||
| These are the questions that not just me, but apparently a FBI agent has been asking. | ||
| This is the million-dollar question. | ||
| How the hell did the guy know what Trump's movements were going to be? | ||
| Go. | ||
| How did he know that Donald Trump was going to be playing golf? | ||
| How did he have access to his schedule? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's the million-dollar question. | |
| You know, we are the border county to Palm Beach. | ||
| You can't get out of their county without coming through ours. | ||
| But we don't have the intel from the scene there. | ||
| It's hard for me to imagine how he got within rifle range of President Trump. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, there was a former FBI... | ||
| Agent who was on CNN asking the exact same questions. | ||
| I'm not sure if we actually have that clip loaded. | ||
| That was the sheriff once again. | ||
| I'm not sure if we have the clip loaded asking the questions about how did this individual have Donald Trump's movement? | ||
| We got it? | ||
| This is not the media rhetoric. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| So everyone's asking these same questions. | ||
| Where do you get the money? | ||
| How's he voting in elections? | ||
| How's he buying firearms? | ||
| How is this guy not in prison? | ||
| Why is he so obsessed with Ukraine and getting people to fight in Ukraine, what seems like clandestine operations in Ukraine? | ||
| Why is he so obsessed with that? | ||
| There's no such thing as the wrong question. | ||
| There's unanswered questions. | ||
| There are fact patterns that you might have to put together. | ||
| You might have to make some assumptions, but there's no such thing as asking the wrong question. | ||
| What was Ryan Ralph like when he was arrested? | ||
| What was his behavior like? | ||
| How did he act? | ||
| The sheriffs are saying none of it is very strange. | ||
| He was very peaceful when he got arrested. | ||
| He was very happy with himself, very proud of himself. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| Let's listen. | ||
| We'll get the body cam footage eventually. | ||
| Right now we have one photo of Ryan Ralph's arrest, and we'll get it for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But here's what the sheriff had to say. | |
| I know that you were there when Secret Service interviewed him. | ||
| What was his demeanor there? | ||
| Did he apologize? | ||
| Did he say he was remorseful? | ||
| Did he even speak? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, he was quiet. | |
| We had to be very respectful. | ||
| It's a federal investigation, so we don't cross lines. | ||
| Our job was to apprehend the suspect. | ||
| I mean, after all, he just tried to assassinate the highest-profile target on the planet. | ||
| It was extremely fortunate for all of us that he complied because had he not complied, you'd be asking me right now, what were the circumstances of his death? | ||
| That's all right. | ||
| So here is the article, ladies and gentlemen, of the FBI agent asking these million-dollar questions. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Just a second. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Locking it all in. | ||
| And we also have the body cam footage. | ||
| Just released. | ||
| We just talked about it. | ||
| Just released. | ||
| This happens all the time in the program. | ||
| Ryan Routh have inside information on Trump's movement. | ||
| Ex-FBI official says this is scary. | ||
| Look at this guy. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Something's wrong. | ||
| Something's wrong with this dude. | ||
| Chris Schwecker, retired FBI assistant director. | ||
| Assistant director? | ||
| I mean, geez, this guy was high up. | ||
| Told Newsweek that the feds and other law enforcement will be probing Ryan Routh. | ||
| Who appeared to know exactly where Donald Trump was going to be on Sunday. | ||
| How would the would-be assassin know the location at that time? | ||
| Turns out he was squatting there as though he knew a day ahead of time where Donald Trump was going to go. | ||
| There were only three possible answers, he said. | ||
| He guessed and got very lucky. | ||
| He conducted surveillance on Trump and followed him to the golf course. | ||
| We know that's not true because he was there. | ||
| According to the federal filing, he was there for 12 hours. | ||
| Or he had inside information about Trump's schedule. | ||
| The last answer is scary and has implications for everyone involved. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Donald Trump assassin accused Trump gunman hid in sniper's nest for 12 hours before he was spotted, wrote a book asking Iran to kill Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here you go. | |
| See here in this schematic. | ||
| This is where Trump was golfing. | ||
| This is where the sniper nest was. | ||
| This is how close he was. | ||
| Probably could have taken a shot at Trump. | ||
| This is how close he was. | ||
| Man. | ||
| So what happens next? | ||
| What happens next? | ||
| Well, we await Donald Trump. | ||
| Donald Trump has not appeared on camera today. | ||
| Donald Trump is... | ||
| Scheduled to appear when? | ||
| When is the next Donald Trump appearance on camera? | ||
| We'll see if there is something today, tomorrow at a town hall in Michigan. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So we'll see if something gets scheduled today. | ||
| He does have spaces scheduled for tonight. | ||
| Alexa, we're confirmed that that's still ongoing. | ||
| Good? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So Donald Trump will have his spaces tonight with Elon Musk. | ||
| Goodness gracious. | ||

Okay. | |
| Well, here we go. | ||

| *Pewds* | ||
| Goodness gracious. | ||
| So, I just want to make this as clear as humanly possible. | ||
| He did vote in the past. | ||
| I wanted to put this up. | ||
| We haven't put this up yet. | ||
| He did vote. | ||
| We have said this. | ||
| He voted in the election. | ||
| In, from Greensboro, North Carolina, from a location, Greensboro, North Carolina, he did in-person election day voting, all for the Democratic primary ballot. | ||
|
unidentified

There you go. | |
| None of it makes sense. | ||
| How the hell is a guy with a weapons of mass destruction charge able to do in-person primary voting? | ||
| Donald Trump Jr. here is just ripping our hearts out with this post. | ||
| You know what's getting really old? | ||
| I haven't had a conversation with my five young children about radical leftists trying to kill their grandfather. | ||
| No person should ever have to do this in America or anywhere else. | ||
| And yet I've had to do this conversation five times yet again today. | ||
| Oh man, it just rips your heart out. | ||
| Donald Trump Jr., please pray for this family. | ||
| Please pray for them. | ||
| It is completely and totally. | ||
| Sickening. | ||
| The initial response, this was after the assassination attempt. | ||
| This is what Trump was looking like. | ||
| This is the only photo we have of President Trump after the assassination attempt. | ||
| Man, it's just unstoppable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at this. | |
| Look at that. | ||
| You see the wings of angels. | ||
| You see that? | ||
| I didn't even recognize that. | ||
| Golden wings of angels, man. | ||
| Don't look too far into it. | ||
| But here we have Speaker Mike Johnson. | ||
| Do we have this clip? | ||
| Boys, Speaker Mike Johnson talking about the esprit de corps of Donald Trump afterwards. | ||
| I know it's in this. | ||
| We got it. | ||
| Rock and roll. | ||
| So here's Mike Johnson talking about what Donald Trump was like immediately after the assassination attempt. | ||
| We only play this. | ||
| I think that Mike Johnson has been very much not a great leader, but we play this because Mike Johnson was there and was the first person to interact with Trump afterwards. | ||
| Here's what he said Donald Trump was like. | ||
| My wife Kelly and I were on the way to Mar-a-Lago when the shooting occurred. | ||
| And so we were delayed a little bit because they shut down all the traffic. | ||
| But then we arrived there about the time that President Trump did. | ||
| We spent about three hours with him. | ||
| He was in very good spirits, as you might expect. | ||
| That's who he is. | ||
| He's so resilient. | ||
| And we were really grateful to see him. | ||
| You know, I said this, and we'll all be talking about this for quite some time. | ||
| There's no leader in the history of America that has been so attacked and has remained so strong and so resilient. | ||
| He's one of a kind. | ||
| He is not going to stop fighting for the American people. | ||
| And it was really encouraging for us to sit and visit with him right after that happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
you *sniff* Thank you. | |
| America needs this, man. | ||
| I believe that we are fighting a spiritual battle. | ||
| We are not fighting a physical battle. | ||
| There's not a battle of bullets, although it certainly descends into bullets, and we've seen it. | ||
| Here's another arrest image of Ryan Ralph. | ||
| We're fighting a spiritual battle. | ||
| Clearly. | ||
| We're fighting a battle against good and evil. | ||
| They do not want the man who has stopped all child trafficking to assume the office of the presidency again. | ||
| Images from the court breaking right now of the accused in court. | ||
| Here he is. | ||
| This is the best that we have, is this sketch artist. | ||
| We can see the judge. | ||
| I don't actually know who's presiding here. | ||
| They've got the judge up there, and he's being read the charges against him. | ||
| And we'll see what comes out of these investigations. | ||
| Please, Governor DeSantis, please, I'm begging you, do daily briefings on this. | ||
| We have to know. | ||
| We have to know what's going on. | ||
| Speaking of knowing what's going on, I think it's very, very important to take a step back and to... | ||
| Remember that there are people who have been right about this and who were laughed at, who were howled at. | ||
| Over a year ago, Tucker Carlson went on a podcast, Adam Carolla's podcast, and predicted this exact moment. | ||
| Alex Jones did the same thing on Tucker's podcast. | ||
| But I would argue that, Tucker, I believe that this, I mean, I don't really know the date of this clip. | ||
| Hey, let's give me the date of this clip. | ||
| I mean, this is a year or more ago. | ||
| Tucker Carlson saying, what's going to happen next is they're going to kill Trump. | ||
| That's what's going to happen next. | ||
| It's important in these moments to, like, reflect on who was right and to reflect on who was doing the bidding of this machine, the super state. | ||
| Who is doing the demonizing of President Trump? | ||
| Who is setting all of this up? | ||
| Who is setting the groundwork for it? | ||
| And who is trying to prevent it? | ||
| Here's Tucker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you think the future holds? | |
| Is it... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, are they going to let Trump be president? | |
| Of course. | ||
| I mean, look. | ||
| They protested him. | ||
| They called him names. | ||
| He won anyway. | ||
| They impeached him. | ||
| Twice. | ||
| On ridiculous pretenses. | ||
| They fabricated a lot about what happened on January 6th in order to impeach him again. | ||
| It didn't work. | ||
| He came back. | ||
| Then they indicted him. | ||
| It didn't work. | ||
| He became more popular. | ||
| Then they indicted him three more times. | ||
| And every single time his popularity rose. | ||
| So if you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment, and none of them work, what's next? | ||
| I mean, you know, graph it out, man. | ||
| We're speeding toward assassination, obviously. | ||
| And no one will say that, but I don't know how you can reach that conclusion. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, they have decided, permanent Washington, both parties have decided that there's something about Trump that's so threatening to them, they just can't have him. | ||
| What is that thing? | ||
| Well, if you listen to Eric Weinstein in a recent podcast interview, Mike Benz, who's a regular on this program, then you're going to hear exactly what it is. | ||
| Donald Trump will actually bring back democracy. | ||
| This is something that I think is such a profound point. | ||
| They say that Donald Trump is the person who's going to destroy democracy. | ||
| He's a threat to democracy. | ||
| Actually, it's the exact opposite. | ||
| As I paraphrase here, I want to obviously give credit to Brett Weinstein, actually, who sort of planted the seed. | ||
| But you have to understand what Donald Trump is as a populist candidate, as somebody who wasn't pruned from both parties to be totally ideologically the same. | ||
| Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, they're the same people. | ||
| The true, true moment of understanding American politics is realizing that George W. Bush and the Obamas are on the exact same side. | ||
| George W. Bush and Joe Biden are the same people. | ||
| They're on the same side. | ||
| Michelle Obama and John McCain are the same people. | ||
| They come from the exact same pruning process to ensure that nothing ever gets upset because what has happened... | ||
| Is that we do not live actually in a real democracy. | ||
| You can see that. | ||
| It's apparent to you. | ||
| It's obvious. | ||
| The unanswerable and unexplainable question is what do we do next? | ||
| Here's what's happened. | ||
| There are institutions that have sprung, henceforth, and at one time they sprang from democracy. | ||
| We did used to have an actual democracy. | ||
| People voted and... | ||
| Federal government was small, and the institutions in control of our lives was very limited from a federal standpoint, and the Constitution was real. | ||
| And then what occurred was the obesity glut and Orwellian overarching of our government. | ||
| The institutions began to control everything. | ||
| The ghost in the machine, the deep state. | ||
| The institutions became so engorged on the American public that they destroyed any semblance of democracy. | ||
| The Democrat Party is not allowed to put Bernie Sanders up as a presidential candidate. | ||
| It's not allowed. | ||
| You're not allowed to do that. | ||
| The Republican Party is not allowed to have an actual populist like Donald Trump, a free radical, somebody who wishes to actually attack the problem in our federal government, which is the size of the federal government, which is the permanence of the federal government. | ||
| This is not allowed. | ||
| So as it is explained, type A democracy and type B democracy. | ||
| Type A democracy is actual direct democracy where we get to vote for the guy that we want. | ||
| And then slowly over time, the policies that you and I want because we're the majority in democracy, we're the majority in this country, the policies that we want get enacted. | ||
| Type B democracy is that the institutions rule everything and put downward pressure on the political parties to make sure that they only provide A choice, a false choice. | ||
| Magician's choice. | ||
| We think you have a choice, but it's not actually a choice. | ||
| Of two candidates that have been pre-selected to continue on the institutions, continue on the treaties, continue on the status quo. | ||
| Donald Trump, in the return to the presidency, would be Britain in 2016. | ||
| Donald Trump brought real democracy to this country. | ||
| Because we chose him in spite of the suppression polls, in spite of them demanding that we choose Hillary Clinton, we chose him. | ||
| And so that actually reasserted type A democracy, not democracy by committee, not democracy run by institutions that were maybe democratically created but now exist entirely separate from you or me or anything checking them inside of the Federal government, with the exception of the executive branch, which is why they so fiercely protect it. | ||
| Because all of these organs have sprung from the executive branch. | ||
| They get funded by Congress. | ||
| That's a totally different conversation. | ||
| Donald Trump would usher back in real democracy, and they can't allow that. | ||
| The reason that they want to kill Trump is because they cannot allow, they cannot let the grains of sand slip through the fingers and allow the people to have control again. | ||
| Because we can't be controlled. | ||
| They've figured out an end around to try and tell us that we live in a real democracy. | ||
| It's not a real democracy. | ||
| So this is where the threat of Donald Trump really metastasizes and is actually rooted. | ||
| This is real democracy. | ||
| What you and I are doing, this is real democracy. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Bongino is somebody who... | ||
| If we get an opportunity to cut to Dan and to play his take on these assessments, I think it is profound and worthy of our time. | ||
| Dan Bongino has broken down what he sees as the core issues and questions to be asked about this newest Donald Trump assassination attempt. | ||
| Of course, Dan Bongino... | ||
| He's been in law enforcement for the majority of his career, was a secret service agent, protected the president, was on the president's detail. | ||
| Nobody knows more. | ||
| And we trust nobody more in these kind of news environments. | ||
| Here's Dan's breakdown of the events yesterday, a short clip, but I think one that really hits the nail on that. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| I'm going to ask you again. | ||
| We got the most threatened man on earth, Donald Trump. | ||
| Not even close. | ||
| I'm going to ask some questions now, some uncomfortable ones. | ||
| Where were the counter-sniper assets? | ||
| If they were there, what were they doing? | ||
| Remember the whistleblower memo from counter-sniper? | ||
| The counter-sniper guy? | ||
| Well, I know who he is. | ||
| He's a good man. | ||
| Saying, we don't have enough guys to cover this. | ||
| You're going to get someone hurt? | ||
| Sorry, I don't want to miss this. | ||
| Folks, where were the counter-sniper assets? | ||
| To take out a sniper who again infiltrated the outer, the mid to outer perimeter. | ||
| Where? | ||
| Folks, from what we know of early reporting, this guy did not have a ghillie suit on. | ||
| Do you know what a ghillie suit is? | ||
| A ghillie suit is a camouflaged disguise which is nearly impossible to pick out. | ||
| If this subject was sitting in the wood line with a ghillie suit and hadn't poked out the barrel of his rifle, we may be having a different conversation today. | ||
| Folks, you can get a ghillie suit probably on Amazon or somewhere else, I would guess, for a couple hundred bucks, maybe less. | ||
| You think the Iranians aren't thinking of this right now? | ||
| Where were the counter-sniper assets? | ||
| Were they not given enough? | ||
| Where were the counter-surveillance teams? | ||
| The counter-surveillance teams, these units prowl around the perimeter. | ||
| Their sole purpose is to find cars that don't belong. | ||
| Where did this guy park? | ||
| How did he walk in with a rifle to the fence line? | ||
| How did nobody see him? | ||
| How come there were no poststanders at each hole? | ||
| Where was the CSU team? | ||
| Is anyone in the media going to stop with the victory laps and ask questions? | ||
| That's your freaking job! | ||
| If it was President Biden, God forbid, you'd be interviewing this guy's kindergarten teacher right now. | ||
| Oh, there. | ||
| Look, a ghillie suit right there. | ||
| How much is it, guys? | ||
| This is real. | ||
| They just found this in the seconds. | ||
| Here's a ghillie suit for adult XL, $25. | ||
| On sale, folks. | ||
| Imagine him in a ghillie suit. | ||
| Would have been smarter. | ||
| President Trump be dead right now. | ||
| How did they not see him? | ||
| Can we stop with the bullshit victory laps? | ||
| Please. | ||
| How does Ron Rose still have a job? | ||
| Where were the CSU teams? | ||
| Where were the optics? | ||
| The surveillance optics? | ||
| Now granted, it was not, was it like 90 plus yesterday in Florida? | ||
| Thermal imagery may not be helpful in a really hot day. | ||
| But I'd rather have it than not. | ||
| Where were the thermals? | ||
| Where was the forward-looking infrared? | ||
| Where was the drone surveillance? | ||
| How did you miss this guy? | ||
| Thermals or IR should have caught this guy sticking out like that. | ||
| You're telling me again? | ||
| For the second time, protective intelligence teams that basically are roaming around, counter-surveillance teams, counter-sniper teams, Drone assets. | ||
| And nobody detected this guy again? | ||
| He had time to set up, clip a couple ceramic ballistic plates to a fence, set up a GoPro, and sit on the president's position? | ||
| Where's the helicopter surveillance? | ||
| Oh, Dan, they don't use that. | ||
| Actually, we do. | ||
| It's got its own code name, which I'll leave out. | ||
| How come President Trump doesn't have it? | ||
| All the time. | ||
| The helicopter would have flew or would have picked this guy out like that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How come they didn't? | |
| The answer is because the asset wasn't there. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| The answer is that the Secret Service is still criminally malprotecting President Trump. | ||
| We heard this yesterday in the press conference. | ||
| We took the press conference live and the sheriff... | ||
| For Palm Beach said, Trump's not the president. | ||
| So if the president was here, then of course there would be a total lockdown of the golf course. | ||
| But instead, Trump's just a candidate. | ||
| Well, this is a lie. | ||
| We actually spoke with somebody who is a Secret Service source, who we are beginning to establish through our reporting some very interesting relationships. | ||
| Let's just leave it at that. | ||
| Who told us that this is not how the Secret Service works. | ||
| It's not like a Lego kit where you just get a certain number of blocks if you are a certain kit. | ||
| That's not how it works. | ||
| The Secret Service detail matches the threat level. | ||
| They still don't have Trump on the correct threat level. | ||
| Dan Bongino just alliterated. | ||
| All of the assets that could have been deployed to protect President Trump would be pretty hard to hide from thermal imaging and drones and helicopters. | ||
| But of course, none of them were deployed. | ||
| Because the Secret Service still doesn't have the correct threat assessment on Donald Trump. | ||
| Donald Trump is the most famous man in the world. | ||
| I'll fight anyone on that. | ||
| Just call it what it is. | ||
| He's the most consequential. | ||
| The most talked about politician in the world. | ||
| And he has the highest footprint in the world. | ||
| And so therefore, he has the biggest footprint on earth. | ||
| And so therefore, Donald Trump is, without question, the man who deserves the most protection. | ||
| I'm not saying take protectees away from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. | ||
| I'm saying that the Secret Service, last time we checked, we just checked moments ago, has 4,000 agents. | ||
| So where are they exactly? | ||
| This is 4,000 agents? | ||
| Okay, so more for the president. | ||
| In an eerie series of messages, Charlie Kirk, who's a friend of us and an ally of the program, has talked about how weak the Secret Service protection feels for Donald Trump and how the Butler assassination has not improved it. | ||
| We witnessed that firsthand. | ||
| How lax the Secret Service protection was backstage when Donald Trump spoke at an event in Detroit that we were at as well. | ||
| And the entire operation was, let's just say, porous. | ||
| It was really hard. | ||
| It was really strange. | ||
| I mean, it was really strange to see. | ||
| I mean, I was not supposed to be back there. | ||
| I was speaking on stage. | ||
| I was supposed to walk out. | ||
| ALX and I were both back there. | ||
| There's no reason for us to be back there with Donald Trump, the protectee. | ||
| We hadn't been screened. | ||
| Nobody had done any security for us. | ||
| Why was this allowed? | ||
| Why wasn't the place locked down? | ||
| And there were other instances of this. | ||
| I keep coming back to, and I guess I'll return to this, you know, this final, just this final creepy moment. | ||
| Boys, do we have that Time magazine cover? | ||
| Get me that, please. | ||
| I guess I'll return to this. | ||

There's... | |
| I don't believe in this number of coincidences. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| The Secret Service agent who went viral after the Butler assassination said there's going to be more assassinations. | ||
| Get ready. | ||
| What's going to happen next? | ||
| What's going to happen next? | ||
| They're going to keep trying. | ||
| The Secret Service knows better. | ||
| They know this. | ||
| Now it's just going to be brushed off. | ||

| And that's what we've seen, and we do not want that in this country. | ||

| Like, we want for Americans to live happy, prosperous, peaceful lives. | ||
| And we want to be able to leave this country a better place for our children. | ||
| That is what a moral generation does. | ||
| And that is our motivation here. | ||
| We thank you for being part of it. | ||
| The best way that we can possibly say our thanks to you is to give you uplifting at the end of every single show. | ||
| 1 Peter 5, 6 for our verse of the day. | ||
| Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him because he cares for you. | ||
| The mighty hand of God will exalt us at the right time. | ||
| We just need to throw our cares on him. | ||

Yeah. | |
| You know, I personally, I just believe it in my very soul that the only reason Donald Trump's alive right now is not because of any Secret Service's agent's gun, but because of the hand of God. | ||
| We'll see what happens next. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| It's the wild times that we live in. | ||
| We thank you for your support of this program, and please consider becoming a member, joining the Benegrade. | ||
| It keeps us going, and it provides for us the ability to speak. | ||
| Truth to you and to deliver. | ||
| Like yesterday, we promise we will show up for you. | ||
| We were the number one stream in the world, actually, yesterday. | ||
| And we were doing our best to, well, to speak truth, salt and light. | ||
| That's what we're going to do on this program. | ||
| And in closing, I want to give you something that I really still hope Donald Trump releases as a campaign ad. | ||
| The best breakdown of why they hate President Trump. | ||
| From the great Tucker Carlson. | ||
| This, ladies and gentlemen, is why. | ||
| This is why they want to kill this man. | ||
| It will never be said more succinctly and profoundly. | ||
| And so sometimes you've got to tip your hat off to the great one, Tucker. | ||
| Take it away. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Millions of Americans sincerely love Donald Trump. | ||
| They love him in spite of everything they've heard. | ||
| They love him often in spite of himself. | ||
| They love Donald Trump. | ||
| Because no one else loves them. | ||
| The country they built, the country their ancestors fought for over hundreds of years, has left them to die in their unfashionable little towns, mocked and despised by the sneering halfwits with finance degrees, but no actual skills, who seem to run everything all of a sudden. | ||
| Whatever Donald Trump's fault, he is better than the rest of the people in charge. | ||
| At least he doesn't hate them for their weakness. | ||
| Donald Trump, in other words, is and has always been a living indictment of the people who run this country. | ||
| That was true four years ago, when Trump came out of nowhere to win the presidency, and it's every bit as true right now. | ||
| Trump rose because they failed. | ||
| It's as simple as that. | ||
| If the people in charge had done a halfway decent job with the country they inherited, if they'd cared about anything other than themselves, even for just a moment, Donald Trump would still be hosting Celebrity Apprentice, but they didn't. | ||
| Instead, they were incompetent and narcissistic and cruel and relentlessly dishonest. | ||
| They wrecked what they didn't build. | ||
| They lied about it. | ||
| They hurt anyone who told the truth about what they were doing. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| We watched. | ||
| America is still a great country, the best in the world, but our ruling class is disgusting. | ||
| A vote for Trump is a vote against them. | ||
| That's what's going on in this country. | ||

That's what's going on in this country. | |
| Can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take your best shot, pop my fist, give me what you got, cause you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take me to my grave all miles again and again and say, you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| No! | ||
| You can't keep a good man down, cause you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| In America, we don't worship government. | ||
| We worship God. | ||
| Come on, come on, take your best shot. | ||
| Pop my fist, give me what you got. | ||
| Cause you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take me to my grave. | ||
| I'll rise again and again and say, you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| No! | ||
| You can't keep the old man down. | ||
| And you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take your best shot. | ||
| Pop my fist, give me what you got. | ||
| Cause you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take me to my grave. | ||
| I'll rise again and again and say, you can't keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on, take your best shot Pump my fist, give me What you got? | ||
| Because keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Come on, come on. | ||
| Take me to my paywall. | ||
| Rise again and again and say, you can't keep a good man down. |
