We better get in line. | |
| Stand there shaking, waiting for your turn. | ||
| Behind the old front, just heat this alert. | ||
| You better finish what you start. | ||
| The media clowns on 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, pump my fist, give me what you got, 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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you can't keep a good man down, and you better keep a good man down. | |
| We worship God. | ||
| Come on, come on, take your best shot, pump my fist, give me what you got. | ||
| Oh, man! | ||
| We weren't sure that we'd be back so quickly, but you know what? | ||
| We have a promise to you. | ||
| It's your boy Benny, by the way, that we are going to not miss a moment and that we, when we got the news that the Secret Service, just 30 minutes ago, the Secret Service was going to go live with a press conference. | ||
| We decided that we have got to bring you that press conference in the moments and hours after Donald Trump survived yet another assassination attempt. | ||
| There was so much... | ||
| Malinformation, false information, incorrect reporting. | ||
| The New York Post ran with the narrative that this was just an altercation between two dudes in a parking lot outside of Trump's golf course. | ||
| We won't allow it. | ||
| We won't allow it. | ||
| In fact, we were ready to publish that and we killed the entire piece. | ||
| And changed everything as new information happened yesterday, and we went live within 30 minutes of us learning. | ||
| So we are committed totally to bringing you all of the information, and this is the live shot of the Secret Service and FBI and Florida criminal unit giving an update on what they know. | ||
| It has been just a hair over. | ||
| 24 hours since a second gunman planned on executing Donald Trump and doing it all while on camera. | ||
| He had his little GoPro pinned to the fence line. | ||
| We are learning so much more about this individual. | ||
| This guy was not a... | ||
| This guy was not a... | ||
| Strange, cloudy, unsure what his political philosophy was. | ||
| We don't know where it comes from. | ||
| We don't know who he is. | ||
| We know exactly what this guy was all about. | ||
| He's a ravenous Joe Biden and Kamala Harris supporter. | ||
| He was frothing at the mouth to keep the war in Ukraine going. | ||
| He was totally and completely radicalized by the verbiage of the left. | ||
| He was a Democrat donor. | ||
| He's a criminal. | ||
| He's got a hundred criminal charges against him, including one charge for weapons of mass destruction in 2002. | ||
| What the hell is that about? | ||
| He appears in propaganda videos for Ukraine's Azov Battalion, which is a neo-Nazi battalion. | ||
| He appears in other propaganda videos at the U.S. Capitol, lobbying Congress. | ||
| For some reason, this guy who is effectively unemployed, And impoverished, and that's what it says on his donations page for ActBlue, that he is not employed. | ||
| Somehow this guy was able to fly from Hawaii to Florida to D.C. to Ukraine. | ||
| He has like tens of thousands of dollars worth of airfare. | ||
| How was this man able to purchase a firearm with such a long criminal record? | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| These are questions. | ||
| It's like, boys, in these situations... | ||
| Let's just go to Palm Beach. | ||
| Let's just get in a car, go to Palm Beach so I can ask these questions. | ||
| These are the questions that I want to ask. | ||
| How was this guy able to vote? | ||
| We have his voting record. | ||
| How was Ryan Ralph able to vote? | ||
| He voted in the 2024 Democrat primary. | ||
| This was six months ago in North Carolina. | ||
| Is North Carolina that big of a dumpster fire? | ||
| There's no hope in North Carolina then. | ||
| Could you imagine who is allowed to vote? | ||
| If a guy like Ryan Ralph was able to vote? | ||
| How filthy are the voter rolls? | ||
| By the way, he doesn't live in North Carolina. | ||
| He lives in Hawaii. | ||
| So why is he voting in North Carolina? | ||
| Nothing makes sense. | ||
| Nothing makes sense. | ||
| Which is why I think it's really important for a broadcast like this. | ||
| Let's pop up the screen. | ||
| You can see here. | ||
| We're monitoring right now. | ||
| This is the shot. | ||
| It's from the Sheriff's Office of Palm Beach County, Florida. | ||
| This is where the crime occurred. | ||
| The Sheriff's Office of Palm Beach County, Florida is going to be doing, this is going to be a joint press conference. | ||
| The FBI, the Secret Service Director, Ronald Rowe is his name. | ||
| This guy met with President Trump today. | ||
| And this guy is now meeting with Donald Trump. | ||
| We have news from Ron DeSantis. | ||
| Sure, boys, you've loaded up this clip, yeah? | ||
| We have Ron DeSantis news. | ||
| Ron DeSantis has said that he is going to be taking the investigation from the federal authorities and is going to be doing his own state investigation, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| And we can see here, actually, people are filling in, filing in to stand behind. | ||
| The speakers. | ||
| Gotta get a different shot. | ||
| Hey, guys, gotta get a different shot. | ||
| Don't know why it's frozen. | ||
| Everything is... | ||
| Okay, for some reason, the shots are frozen. | ||
| We got our production team working on this. | ||
| We got a very interesting situation here where I think the entire eyes of the world are going to be on this news moment. | ||
| And the cameras are all black. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amazing how all this happens. | |
| It's pretty. | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we can see so far. | ||
| Apparently, the Secret Service Director, Ronald Rowe, will be here. | ||
| Will he be explaining how the gunman was able to purchase an AK-47 style rifle? | ||
| Nobody yet has been able to explain to me how this guy was able to purchase a rifle with such a long criminal history. | ||
| How he was able to vote in the elections with such a long criminal history. | ||
| And there he is. | ||
| There we are, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Again, this is not on us. | ||
| This is on our feed. | ||
| This is on the feed. | ||
| Keep going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We, meaning the gentlemen that are up here, which is the U.S. Attorney. | |
| FBI, Secret Service. | ||
| We're going to give you everything that we have. | ||
| We're going to give you the latest updates. | ||
| They're going to tell you what's going on with the investigation. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| And then we're going to do a limited amount of questions. | ||
| So make them good. | ||
| Don't get into what if and all this. | ||
| Get legitimate questions. | ||
| We got it? | ||
| Okay, everybody ready? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're here today to give an update. | ||
| On the investigation in regards to the incident at Trump International. | ||
| With me is the U.S. Attorney, the FBI, and the Secret Service. | ||
| Just to give you a little information, as you well know, the road down there on Summit is still blocked off. | ||
| It will be blocked off probably for the remainder of today and probably a good portion of tomorrow until some of the investigative things need to be done and finished. | ||
| But we're accommodating people in and out, getting them to the library, getting them to the post office, so the public is not going to be that far inconvenienced. | ||
| The security level at Mar-a-Lago is the highest it can possibly be now. | ||
| The road closures are back in place and will remain there. | ||
| The checkpoints are in place. | ||
| And my commitment to the Secret Service is to give them every possible resource from PBSO. | ||
| Once they determine the level of security that they need, they will get all the resources possible. | ||
| So having said that, I'll let you talk to the U.S. Attorney. | ||
| Thank you, Sheriff. | ||
| Good afternoon. | ||
| Thank you for joining us today. | ||
| My name is Mark Hansel-Lapointe. | ||
| I am the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. | ||
| I want to start by expressing my deep gratitude to Sheriff. | ||
| Rick Bradshaw of Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office for hosting today's press conference and for his department's assistance with this matter. | ||
| I'm truly grateful for your leadership, sir. | ||
| I'm also pleased to be joined by our partners in federal law enforcement from the FBI and the United States Secret Service and also from ATF. | ||
| Joining us today for comments and announcements are Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey B. Valtry of the FBI, Miami Field Office, and Acting Director of the U.S. Secret Service, Ron Rowe. | ||
| I want to also thank the men and women in law enforcement who have been working around the clock in the initial phase of this ongoing investigation. | ||
| Our partners include federal and local authorities, who effectuated the apprehension of the defendant and have aided in ensuring federal charges were filed against him this morning. | ||
| We're here to announce that Ryan Wesley Ralph, 58 years old, of Hawaii, has been charged by a criminal complaint in the Southern District of Florida with firearms offenses related to an incident which occurred yesterday at Trump International Golf Course right here in West Palm Beach. | ||
| Roth was charged federally with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. | ||
| He had his initial appearance today before magistrate judge Ryan McCabe in the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach. | ||
| According to the allegations in the complaint, a U.S. Secret Service agent walking the golf course perimeter saw what appeared to be a rifle poking out of the tree line. | ||
| After the agent fired a service weapon in the direction of the rifle, a witness saw A man later identified as Ralph fleeing the area in the tree line. | ||
| Ralph was later apprehended by officers from the Martin County Sheriff's Office in coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. | ||
| The complaint alleges that in the area of the tree line from which Ralph fled, agents found a digital camera, a backpack, a loaded SKS-style rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food. | ||
| The serial number on the rifle was obliterated. | ||
| According to the complaint, Ralph was convicted of felonies in North Carolina in December 2002 and March 2010, and therefore was prohibited from possessing a firearm. | ||
| The FBI is leading this investigation, this ongoing investigation. | ||
| As the Attorney General stated earlier today, the FBI is continuing its investigation. | ||
| of this incident as an assassination attempt upon the former president. | ||
| The investigation remains at its early stages. | ||
| The entire Justice Department, including the FBI, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, and the National Security Division are coordinating closely with our law enforcement partners to fully investigate and prosecute this matter. | ||
| The charges we're announcing reflect the strong collaboration of the agencies represented here. | ||
| The U.S. Attorney's Office, the Department of Justice, would be unable to carry forth our mission without the invaluable assistance of our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners. | ||
| I'd like to thank the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and we have Chris Robertson here, Specialist in Charge, and your Secret Service for the invaluable assistance they are providing, they have been providing. | ||
| I would also like to recognize the Palm Beach County and Martin County Sheriff's Offices for operating the defendant. | ||
| Again, without the local authorities to assist in those things, it would be literally impossible to accomplish the things we're able to accomplish on the federal side. | ||
| I want to personally thank, I want to personally express my gratitude to the attorneys with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department's National Security Division for their non-stop work over the last 24 to 30 hours. | ||
| Together, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure accountability and the pursuit of justice. | ||
| At this time, I will invite FBI Special Agent in Charge Jeff Valtry to the podium. | ||
| After Special Agent in Charge Valtry completes his remarks, Acting Director of the U.S. Secret Service Ron Rowe will provide remarks before we open the floor for a few questions. | ||
| On our end, given that this is a pending matter before the court and the investigation is ongoing, All comments will be limited. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Good afternoon. | ||
| For a quick introduction, my name is Jeffrey Veltry, FBI Special Agent in Charge for the Miami Field Office. | ||
| The FBI immediately responded to the scene here in West Virginia, and we are investigating this matter as an apparent Assassination attempt of former President Trump. | ||
| We view this as extremely serious and are determined to provide answers as to what led up to the events which took place. | ||
| I want to emphasize we're just a little over 24 hours into this investigation, so we're going to provide as much as we can publicly while our investigation is still ongoing. | ||
| We must also stress that the United States Attorney's Office is pursuing charges and that limits some of the details that we can discuss. | ||
| In the last 24 hours, the FBI and our partners have been dedicated to investigating the incident and utilizing all available resources. | ||
| These efforts have included our investigative team and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida in conjunction with DOJ's National Security Division. | ||
| are actively working hand-in-hand to pursue and subsequently execute search warrants. | ||
| Thus far, the warrants include a video recording device, subjects cellular devices, a vehicle, and other electronic devices located at previous known addresses. | ||
| We are coordinating with the United States Secret Service to complete numerous interviews of agents on scene. | ||
| We have also interviewed seven civilian witnesses at the scene, and that is just the beginning. | ||
| Our FBI's Honolulu and Charlotte field offices have initiated interviews of several family members, friends, and former colleagues of the subject. | ||
| FBI has deployed several specialty teams and assets from FBI headquarters and our lab division in Quantico to include evidence. | ||
| And critical incident response personnel. | ||
| The evidence response team is collecting and processing multiple evidentiary items. | ||
| These range from the rifle, which is an SKS model with a scope and obliterated serial numbers, to two bags, the subject's electronics, and what appears to be ceramic tiles. | ||
| DNA has also been collected. | ||
| From those items which are being sent to Quantico for testing. | ||
| We will also process the subject's vehicle for evidence. | ||
| The cellular analysis survey team, what we refer to as CAST, conducted thorough analysis of the subject's cellular device locations. | ||
| The CAST analysis aligns with witnesses' account of the subject's presence at the scene both before and around the time of the incident. | ||
| On September 15th. | ||
| More specifically, we're continuing to conduct analysis and will be compiling the subject's movements in the days and months leading up to September 15th. | ||
| Cellular data shows that the subject was in the vicinity of the golf course roughly 12 hours before the engagement with the United States Secret Service. | ||
| Our investigative teams conducted a neighborhood canvas in an effort to collect and obtain Relevant video footage. | ||
| The subject had an active online presence and we are going through what he posted and any searches he conducted online. | ||
| In addition, we're going through media reports and public statements he made that he wanted to recruit Afghan soldiers and others to fight for Ukraine. | ||
| For returns on the subject's phone and social media accounts. | ||
| We received several returns and are waiting on additional responses from other companies as well. | ||
| Our investigative team is completing analysis of the returns and actioning leads as needed. | ||
| And we anticipate continuing until the FBI knows the full totality of the subject's social media presence. | ||
| By way of his background, In 2002, as the United States Attorney mentioned, the subject was charged and convicted in North Carolina for possession of a weapon of mass destruction. | ||
| Law enforcement checks also revealed that from 1997 to 2010, the subject had numerous felony charges for stolen goods. | ||
| I can also share with you that he was the subject of a previously closed 2019 tip to the FBI where it was alleged he was a felon. | ||
| in possession of a firearm. | ||
| In following up on the tip, the alleged complainant was interviewed and did not verify I repeat, did not verify providing the initial information. | ||
| The FBI passed that information to local law enforcement in Honolulu. | ||
| On behalf of the FBI, I would like to thank the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and Martin County Sheriff's Office for their incredible work in actioning the witnesses. | ||
| I would also like to thank the United States Secret Service, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, the Department of Justice's National Security Division, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and our FBI field offices in both Honolulu and Charlotte, who have been conducting additional law enforcement activity related to the subject. | ||
| Your continued partnerships have been invaluable. | ||
| Oftentimes in law enforcement, we tell citizens to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings. | ||
| Yesterday, a citizen provided remarkable assistance, which led to the arrest of this subject. | ||
| We appreciate the public's diligence in passing potential tips and information regarding the subject and this incident to the FBI. | ||
| If you have any information, please call 1-800-CALL-FBI. | ||
| Or go online to tips.fbi.gov. | ||
| With that, let me turn it over to the United States Secret Service Acting Director, Ron Rowe. | ||
| So the FBI knew him. | ||
| The FBI was on the FBI radar. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Yesterday afternoon, this country was reminded of the heightened and dynamic threat environment the United States Secret Service and its protectees face on a daily basis. | ||
| Immediately following the assassination attempt of former President Donald J. Trump on July 13th, the Secret Service moved to increase assets to an already enhanced security posture for the former president. | ||
| In the days that followed, President Biden made it clear that he wanted the highest levels of protection for former President Trump and for Vice President Harris. | ||
| The Secret Service moved to sustain increases in assets and the level of protection sought. | ||
| And those things were in place yesterday. | ||
| At approximately 1.30 p.m., former President Trump was playing golf during an off-the-record movement to the Trump International Golf Course. | ||
| A Secret Service advance agent supporting the front edge of the agency's layered approach to protection encountered an individual attempting to secrete himself in the wood line. | ||
| This happened, the alleged gunman was on the public side of the fence near the Sixth Green. | ||
| A layered approach of security is integral to the Secret Service's protective methodologies, and it's also the key to our success. | ||
| As former President Trump was moving through the Fifth Fairway across the course and out of sight of the Sixth Green, the agent, who was visually sweeping the area of the Sixth Green, saw the subject armed with what he perceived to be a rifle and immediately discharged his firearm. | ||
| The subject who did not have line of sight to the former president fled the scene. | ||
| He did not fire or get off any shots at our agent. | ||
| With reports of gunfire, the former president's close protection detail immediately evacuated the president to a safe location. | ||
| The protective methodologies of the Secret Service were effective yesterday. | ||
| The former president's protective apparatus allowed for the early identification of the threat. | ||
| The increased assets directed by President Biden were in place yesterday. | ||
| These included the counter-sniper team elements, counter-surveillance agents on the exterior, counter-assault teams partnered with local tactical agents from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, and counter-unmanned aerial system elements. | ||
| All of these entities were present yesterday. | ||
| And while all of these assets were in place, As I've said publicly, we must satisfy the basic requirements of the Secret Service's protective methodologies. | ||
| In partnership with local law enforcement, we did just that. | ||
| And the agent's hypervigilance and the detailed swift action was textbook. | ||
| And I commend them and our partners for an exemplary response in keeping former President Trump safe. | ||
| And I will tell you, having served in local law enforcement in Palm Beach County, I can state that I... | ||
| I'm tremendously impressed and appreciative for all of the efforts of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Schneider with the Martin County Sheriff's Office. | ||
| But what was critical to this was the quick reaction, the response, the hypervigilance of the men and women of the United States Secret Service, who since July 13th have been rising to meet an unprecedented and hyperdynamic threat environment, and they are rising to this moment. | ||
| And I could not be more proud of them and the way they have executed, not only yesterday, but what they're doing today and what they are doing tomorrow and what they will always do because it is their duty. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, go slow here, folks. | |
| All right. | ||
| Don't let everybody do it at once. | ||
| Ask who you want to answer the question and then give the question. | ||
| I have a question for you, Director. | ||
| Is there any evidence to suggest that the suspect knew that Donald Trump would be on the golf course at that time? | ||
| And was the golf course searched thoroughly before the former president's arrival? | ||
| At this time, it was an off-the-record movement, meaning it was not on the former president's official schedule. | ||
| And what I go back to is the layered approach. | ||
| The elements and the methodologies of the Secret Service. | ||
| There was a front element. | ||
| It did its job in sweeping ahead of the president. | ||
| That's what identified this individual who was in that wood line. | ||
| And the swift action of that agent doing his job, pushing out ahead, sweeping while the president was behind him several hundred yards and several holes away, out of sight from the gunman, did his job. | ||
| And that was what alerted the detail and the swift action is what triggered that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The first question, was there any evidence to suggest that the suspect knew that Donald Trump was going to be on that golf course after? | |
| Based on what I know now, and it's an investigation, I don't have any information on that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this was an off-the-record movement. | |
| It wasn't a site that was on his scheduled... | ||
| It wasn't part of his schedule. | ||
| So there was no posting up of it because he wasn't supposed to have gone there in the first place. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Director Rome. | |
| Director Rome. | ||
| Have you briefed former President Trump on your findings so far? | ||
| And has his campaign asked for any changes in his security going forward after yesterday? | ||
| So... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| Sorry. | ||
| So I've had a conversation with the former president. | ||
| You know, we've explained and we've worked with the campaign. | ||
| The president is aware that he has highest levels of protection that the Secret Service is providing him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No changes in specific reaction to what we saw yesterday? | |
| We constantly evaluate based on threat. | ||
| And yesterday what we show is that our agents and our protective methodologies, and there's a lot of tactical assets in place, things that have been put in place as a result of what happened 60 days ago. | ||
| Those elements are working, and that demonstrates the redundancies that we have. | ||
| And so we constantly evaluate. | ||
| We'll, of course, look at this and see what lessons learned from it. | ||
| But as of right now, we are constantly evaluating that threat. | ||
| And if we need to ratchet up additionally, we will. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| Do we know when Ralph arrived in Florida in general, when he arrived in Palm Beach, the area? | ||
| That's a question probably for the FBI. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's been at the golf course prior to this scoping it out. | |
| We're in the process of collecting a lot of evidence and that will be part of that investigation to determine his whereabouts going back quite some time. | ||
| That's part of the investigation as well. | ||
| Again, that's going to be a little bit challenged until we're able to determine the serial number on that gun. | ||
| So we're hopeful to be able to do that. | ||
| We're still looking into that. | ||
| The sheriff mentioned about the highest level of protection that they would lock down the golf course. | ||
| Was that a miscommunication then, being that President Biden ordered the highest level of protection? | ||
| Okay, so here's the deal. | ||
| When it comes to Secret Service protection, we provide the highest level. | ||
| So, for example, yesterday, counter-assault team elements. | ||
| I'm not going to go into the number of personnel that we have out there, but we have the highest levels of Secret Service. | ||
| When we work with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Like, for example, yesterday, during that emergency action response, we had their local tactical team assets partner with our local tactical team assets. | ||
| We had their helicopter up in the air, providing us 360 and situational awareness of the overhead for any, if there were. | ||
| Any potential threats coming to add us. | ||
| So what we did yesterday was exercise our emergency plan based on the number of tactical assets and the highest level of protection that we are providing. | ||
| The sheriff and I have talked. | ||
| Now, clearly, when you go down Southern Boulevard right now and you try to get over to Palm Beach and you see the robust presence. | ||
| That's existing outside of Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| The heavy uniform presence. | ||
| The additional assets of the Secret Service. | ||
| And for those of you that were here in 2017, when the president was in office, when you look at that footprint now, and you look at it today, there's not much difference there. | ||
| There's heavy uniform presence out there. | ||
| And again, what I go back to is yesterday was an off-the-record movement. | ||
| Off-the-record. | ||
| And the president wasn't even really supposed to go there. | ||
| It was not on his official schedule. | ||
| And so we put together a security plan, and that security plan worked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In terms of him being in the vicinity, based on his phone records, is there any evidence to show that Ralph was in the vicinity in the area before Sunday? | |
| And when you say in the vicinity, does that mean right there at that spot in those bushes, or could it have been down the street at a restaurant? | ||
| It was in very close proximity to where he was spotted by the Secret Service. | ||
| In terms of your first question, Whether he was there earlier, our investigation is still looking to determine that. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| We're going to do two more. | ||
| You get one. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| All right? | ||
| Only two more. | ||
| You get one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We understand that the Secret Service has asked Congress for additional resources, says the Butler Bradley. | ||
| Have you received those resources yet? | ||
| So thank you for that question. | ||
| So we are working. | ||
| Look, the Secret Service operates under a paradox of zero-fail mission. | ||
| But also that we have done more with less for decades. | ||
| And this goes back many, many, many, many decades, right? | ||
| What I can tell you is that we have immediate needs right now and we have great support, not only from President Biden. | ||
| And you saw his public statement today where he said that, you know, he's going to direct his staff to make sure that the Secret Service has the resources its needs. | ||
| We're having fantastic conversations with members of Congress. | ||
| I've been up to the Hill last week. | ||
| We are continuing to have those conversations, but the long and short of it is this. | ||
| Coming out of Butler, I have ordered a paradigm shift. | ||
| The Secret Service's protective methodologies work, and they are sound, and we saw that yesterday. | ||
| But the way we are positioned right now in this dynamic threat environment, it has given me guidance to say, you know what? | ||
| We need to look at what our protective methodology is. | ||
| We need to get out of a reactive model and get to a readiness model. | ||
| There could be another geopolitical event that could put the United States into a kinetic conflict or some other issue that may result in additional responsibility. | ||
| And so we are working. | ||
| We are making information available to all of our partners. | ||
| And I just want to say that the commitment of Congress to the Secret Service throughout the years has been tremendous. | ||
| And we will continue to work with them and Secretary Mayorkas, whose support in making sure that we're getting what we need has been phenomenal. | ||
| He is one of our biggest champions and our advocate. | ||
| And so we're having these conversations and I feel confident that we will get what we need. | ||
| We have immediate needs. | ||
| We have future needs too. | ||
| I need to make sure that our countersnipers are the best trained countersnipers in the world. | ||
| That they are exactly doing what we need them to do and that they match. | ||
| And right now, we are working with Congress to make sure that we get those for our training facility. | ||
| We also have a necessary need to make sure that we're getting the personnel that we have. | ||
| And that requires us to be able to have the funding to be able to hire more people. | ||
| You can't just give me money and say, hey, we're going to make sure that everybody gets overtime. | ||
| Because the men and women of the Secret Service right now, we are redlining them. | ||
| And they are rising to this moment. | ||
| And they are meeting the challenges right now. | ||
| And if you look back at their body of work over the last 60 days, the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, the Republican National Convention in Chicago, a visit of Prime Minister Netanyahu to Washington, D.C., and to West Palm Beach, which Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office supported. | ||
| And then we go into the presidential debate in Philadelphia last week. | ||
| And for those in the media that have been to a national special security event, If you saw the National Constitution Center last week, what you saw was pretty much a mini national special security event with the number of assets that were on that perimeter. | ||
| And so our folks are rising to this moment, but it requires all of us to be able to have good conversations and make sure that we're getting the Secret Service where it needs to be. | ||
| And I'm confident that we will achieve that because we don't have an alternative. | ||
| Success? | ||
| We have to have it every day. | ||
| We cannot have failures. | ||
| And in order to do that, we're going to have some hard conversations with Congress, and we're going to achieve that. | ||

Last question. | |
| One more. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| At this point, we're still exploring that, investigating that. | ||
| Our investigation will determine that. | ||
| We do not have information that he's been acting with anyone else at present. | ||
| Oh, you snuck one in there. | ||
| Our investigation is still determining that. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Anyhow, that's it. | ||
| We're not going to do any more. | ||
| You've got a lot of information there. | ||
| The last thing I will tell you is, like the Director of the Secret Service says, the President called me last night, President Trump. | ||
| He thanked me for everything that we did along with the Secret Service. | ||
| He knows we work great together. | ||
| And he feels safe. | ||
| That's important because he is. | ||
| And what we did yesterday proves that the system can work because the suspect didn't even get close to getting a roundoff and we apprehended him and brought him to justice. | ||
| So we're very, very proud of that. | ||
| Thank you, folks, for being here. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Sheriff, one more time for the record. | ||
| How do you pronounce his last name, Sheriff? | ||

Is it Ruth or Routh? | |
| I've heard both. | ||
| I say Ralph, but... | ||
| You say tomato, I say tomato. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right, ladies and gentlemen, here we go. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| That blew my mind! | ||
| Just blew my mind. | ||
| I cannot believe what we just heard. | ||
| That is incredible. | ||
| Okay, let's jump right into it. | ||
| The FBI openly admitting... | ||
| That this guy was on their radar. | ||
| That they knew this gunman. | ||
| They knew the assassin. | ||
| They knew the guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That they had been investigating the guy. | |
| We knew that this would be the case. | ||
| We predicted it. | ||
| It was a meme. | ||
| People were making fun of it yesterday. | ||
| They were sending out the meme. | ||
| How long until the FBI says, he was on our radar? | ||
| And now we actually got the clip. | ||
| This is remarkable. | ||
| And also, how dare the directors of the Secret Service and these guys, how dare these guys go around peacocking as though this was some type of massive success? | ||
| That Director Rowe is such an absolute clown. | ||
| That guy is such a lunkhead. | ||
| Director Lunkhead is what we will call him. | ||
| So a guy in a stolen... | ||
| In a vehicle with stolen plates, with a firearm that's illegally obtained, with an obliterated number on it, with tactical shields, sat next to Donald Trump's golf course for 12 hours and was not detected. | ||
| And you call that a victory? | ||
| Because he didn't, this guy, this guy didn't shoot Trump. | ||
| That's what you're claiming? | ||
| You're caught to the walk, claiming you're some big boy now? | ||
| How impressive your work has been? | ||
| I cannot wait for this guy to resign. | ||
| I cannot wait for it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we just learned so much there. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| The guy was on the FBI radar. | ||

By way of his background, in 2002, as the United States Attorney mentioned, the subject was charged and convicted in North Carolina for possession of a weapon of mass destruction. | |
| Law enforcement checks also revealed that from 1997 to 2010, the subject had numerous felony charges for stolen goods. | ||
| I can also share with you that he was the subject of a previously closed 2019 tip. | ||
| To the FBI where it was alleged he was a felon in possession of a firearm. | ||
| And following up on the tip, the alleged complainant was interviewed and did not verify, I repeat, did not verify providing the initial information. | ||
| The FBI passed that information to local law enforcement in Honolulu. | ||
| So the guy who's a felon in possession of a firearm. | ||
| The FBI got a tip that he was a felon in possession of a firearm. | ||
| And the FBI couldn't figure out that he was a felon in possession of a firearm. | ||
| And then that felon in possession of a firearm nearly took Trump's head off. | ||
| Here is the arrest record of Ryan Ralph. | ||
| Sorry to glitch out your screen there. | ||
| It's just, it's longer than my arm. | ||
| This guy has a hundred criminal counts on his record. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| You'll see multiple gun crimes on his record that he has been convicted of. | ||
| Stolen goods, vehicle violation, concealed carry violation right there. | ||
| He has firearm offenses on his record, including a possession of a weapon of mass destruction, which the FBI didn't get into the details of. | ||
| But the FBI told us that he was the subject of an investigation. | ||
| They were sitting there trying to investigate the guy. | ||
| For being a felon owning a firearm and they couldn't find anything? | ||
| Dude had a WMD. | ||
| What did he have? | ||
| Enriched uranium? | ||
| What did the guy have? | ||
| What you got? | ||
| What weapon of mass destruction did the man have in his possession? | ||
|

|
Can you please alliterate for us what that was? | |
| The FBI is saying we couldn't figure it out. | ||
| We couldn't crack the case. | ||

Just... | |
| Just remarkable. | ||
| The guy sat outside of Trump's club for 12 hours with a rifle. | ||
| Now we know what the rifle was. | ||
| Here's Dan Bongino saying, Ron Rowe taking a victory lap. | ||
| For the failures. | ||
| Absolutely incredible to watch. | ||
| This man is an embarrassment, says Bongino. | ||
| We'll have a clip from Bongino here in just a second. | ||
| Just letting you know, press conference today at 4 o 'clock, this was the announcement. | ||
| It was just 30 minutes before the press conference. | ||
| He's going to come rushing back. | ||
| SKS was the rifle. | ||
| Many have been speculating that this was the rifle, here we go, that he was using. | ||
| This is a Russian model rifle. | ||
| It's a Russian rifle. | ||
| Self-loading carbine, the semi-automatic designed by Soviet small arms dealer. | ||
| In 1945, SKS was first produced in the Soviet Union, later widely exported and manufactured by various nations. | ||
| So this was the style, the model of rifle that he had. | ||
| Someone's going to have to tell me, is this a good rifle? | ||
| Is this a good firearm? | ||
| I do not own one. | ||
| Several ways to mount an optic on an SKS. | ||
| Not sure what the optic mount setup was. | ||
| The photo is grainy. | ||
| But you can see here he had an optic. | ||
| So this is something that we also learned. | ||
| We also learned the style of rifle. | ||
| We learned that this man was camped outside of Mar-a-Laga. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Camped outside of the Trump Palm Beach golf course for 12 hours. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sell your data. | |
| Shows that the subject was in the vicinity of the golf course roughly 12 hours before the engagement with the United States Secret Service. | ||
| Our investigative teams conducted a neighborhood canvas in an effort to collect and obtain relevant video footage. | ||
| The subject had an active online presence and we are going through what he posted and any searches he conducted online. | ||
| In addition, we're going through media reports and public statements he made that he wanted to recruit Afghan soldiers and others to fight for Ukraine. | ||
| The FBI has sent multiple requests to companies for returns on the subject's phone and social media accounts. | ||
| We received several returns and are waiting on additional responses from other companies as well. | ||
| Our investigative team is completing analysis of the returns and actioning leads as needed. | ||
| And we anticipate continuing until the FBI knows the full totality of the subject's social media presence. | ||
| You know what's interesting about this guy talking about social media presence is because this man, his name's Jeffrey Veltry, had to delete his social media presence because of his anti-Trump bias. | ||
| How is this man in charge? | ||
| Let me ask a very simple question. | ||
| In a court of law, what you do is you'd be like, well, you know, the lawyer is sleeping with the judge and therefore the lawyer has a conflict of interest. | ||
| Just for an example, right? | ||
| So this guy's conflicted out because of his past actions towards or against the defendants. | ||
| This is called a conflict of interest. | ||
| You, of course, understand this. | ||
| Check out this remarkable reporting here. | ||
| FBI official who just briefed America about the latest Trump assassination, Jeffrey Veltry, is a notorious Trump hater. | ||
| Veltry, the head of the FBI Miami field office, is so outspoken against Trump deranged Facebook posts that agents were ordered to scrub them before he could be promoted to the head of the Miami office. | ||
| Whistleblower told the House Judiciary Committee that Mr. Veltry had an animately and vocally anti-Trump bias. | ||
| This guy's in charge? | ||
| Whistleblower out of the FBI director Christopher Wray directed All involved to disinfect their social media accounts of anti-Trump vitriol. | ||
| Here's the actual article. | ||
| FBI agent had to erase public vitriol on Trump Mar-a-Lago in field office's jurisdiction. | ||
| And he's the guy briefing us on social media posts that are poisonous and toxic to this report. | ||
| Just an absolutely remarkable moment here, just so that you guys have a little bit of background on this guy. | ||
| And this is also the reason why, breaking news, Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, has announced that he doesn't trust the feds. | ||
| I've not talked to him yet. | ||
| I did announce yesterday we're going to be doing a state-level investigation. | ||
| I understand that the feds are involved, but we do believe that there were multiple violations of state law. | ||
| We also believe that there's a need to make sure that... | ||
| That the truth about all this comes out in a way that's credible. | ||
| I mean, I look at the federal government, with all due respect to them, those same agencies that are prosecuting Trump in that jurisdiction are now going to be investigating this. | ||
| I just think that that may not be the best thing for this country. | ||
| Nevertheless, they have their prerogative, but we have our prerogative. | ||
| And so we'll be making an announcement further along those lines in the ensuing days. | ||
| Good. | ||
| I mean, listen, look at this. | ||
| Body cam footage. | ||
| Body cam footage already released. | ||
| Isn't it wonderful? | ||
| Isn't it wonderful? | ||
| Can I get some fight, fight, fights in the chat from our members? | ||
| Isn't it wonderful that we have an agency in the state? | ||
| Did you take a step back? | ||
| Have you ever seen a briefing like this on Butler? | ||
| Have you seen footage like this released from Butler? | ||
| People had to sue to get footage like this from Butler. | ||
| Here's the guy getting arrested. | ||
| Here's the Trump assassin being arrested yesterday. | ||
| Agencies had to sue to get it. | ||
| The state of Florida is releasing it, and the state of Florida is doing now two press conferences. | ||
| When was the last time the state of Pennsylvania did a press conference on Trump's assassination? | ||
| Has there been a single one? | ||
| Has the state of Pennsylvania, a single time, the governor of Pennsylvania or the government of Pennsylvania done any press conference on Trump assassination in Butler where President Trump ate a bullet in what was intended to be an on-air assassination execution of the president? | ||
| Got up and did the fight, fight, fight. | ||
| Have you ever heard from the state agency? | ||
| I'm very glad. | ||
| I said this this morning. | ||
| I don't mean to be controversial. | ||
| I'm just saying I'm very glad this happened in the state of Florida. | ||
| I'm very glad this happened in a red state where we can actually get some law and some justice. | ||
| Jeffrey Veltry of the FBI had to scrub his social media because of his anti-Trump vitriol. | ||
| This is the same agency that raided Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| They raided Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| And now they're tasked with figuring out why a man was able to sit outside of Donald Trump's golf course with a firearm in a stolen vehicle with a stolen plate. | ||
| And, well, he had his GoPro. | ||
| He had his setup. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| I have his setup right here. | ||
| Look at this right there. | ||
| Those of you who aren't in the industry may not know that's a GoPro. | ||
| That's a camera. | ||
| In fact, I have a little case of them right here. | ||
| I have them out just to show you. | ||
| This is what they look like. | ||
| What he planned on doing was he planned on world star hip-hop going viral by recording his execution of Trump. | ||
| That's what this is. | ||
| That's what this is. | ||
| That's the GoPro right there. | ||
| While we may not know the model of Soviet-made firearm, we certainly do know our cameras around here. | ||
| And that's what the man intended on doing. | ||
| So just in case the FBI Amazes you with their capacity to stop this. | ||
| Here is the federal attorney saying that the firearm was illegally obtained and that the firearm was owned by a felon. | ||
| I noticed that they never said that this guy had Joe Biden, Kamala Harris stickers on his cars and is a longtime Democrat donor. | ||
| Didn't hear that in the press conference. | ||
| They seem to have left that out. | ||
| We do have that evidence. | ||
| But apparently he had filed off or obliterated the numbers on his firearm, so it is untraceable. | ||

According to the allegations in the complaint, a U.S. Secret Service agent walking the golf course perimeter saw what appeared to be a rifle poking out of the tree line. | |
| After the agent fired a service weapon in the direction of the rifle, A witness saw a man later identified as Ralph fleeing the area in the tree line. | ||
| Ralph was later apprehended by officers from the Martin County Sheriff's Office in coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. | ||
| The complaint alleges that in the area of the tree line from which Ralph fled, agents found a digital camera, a backpack, a loaded SKS-style rifle with a scope, And a black plastic bag containing food. | ||
| The serial number on the rifle was obliterated. | ||
| According to the complaint, Roth was convicted of felonies in North Carolina in December 2002 and March 2010, and therefore was prohibited from possessing a firearm. | ||
| So how'd he get it? | ||
| Hey, why don't you answer that question? | ||
| How'd he get it? | ||
| I actually love the Q&A there. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| Is this a conspiracy? | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| Are you, like, did he know? | ||
| How did he know about Trump's movements? | ||
| How the hell are you guys, like, peacocking here on what is, again, another massive security failure because the guy had a scope on Trump. | ||
| They ain't had a scope on Trump, okay? | ||
| Just call it what it is. | ||
| Trump was 300 yards away. | ||
| The guy had a scope on Trump. | ||
| Any shooters in the chat? | ||
| You know that 300 yards is nothing for a guy with a proper scope and a proper setup. | ||
| I'm not sure this would qualify as a proper setup, but let me tell you what. | ||
| The Secret Service whistleblowers have said that this was a setup, in fact. | ||
| Secret Service encounter a sniper who has 30 years of experience inside of the agency sent an email to the entire uniformed division. | ||
| This was right after Donald Trump's first assassination attempt, because we have to number them now, saying that he's going to be shot. | ||
| Trump's going to be executed. | ||
| Get ready. | ||
| They're going to keep trying. | ||
| This is what the guy said, okay? | ||
| We should expect another assassination attempt. | ||
| This agent said that within 30 days, there will be another assassination attempt on President Trump, and now we are 60 days away, and there's another assassination attempt on President Trump. | ||
| Here's the email. | ||
| I would have loved to have asked a question about this. | ||
| Maybe this would have been my question, were I in that. | ||

| I believe we have it. | ||
| Pretty sure. | ||
| Pretty sure we got it. | ||
| Here's a photo of the back of his truck. | ||
| Let's just do a real quick timeline cleanse of all of the fake news and information. | ||
| Here's a better photo right here. | ||
| Killer Kline just got it. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| You know, riding with Biden, this guy. | ||
| Riding with Biden right up to President Trump's golf course. | ||
| Here are the man's political donations. | ||
| This is directly from the FEC. | ||
| Where are you getting this information? | ||
| FEC.gov. | ||
| ActBlue. | ||
| ActBlue. | ||
| ActBlue is, of course, the fundraising juggernaut for only Democrats. | ||
| It is impossible to donate to Republicans through ActBlue. | ||
| In case you need a quick crash course there. | ||
| Last Republican he supported was John McCain. | ||
| You'll find that particularly interesting or not, given the fact that he had his entire brain broken by the Ukraine conflict. | ||
| The man was an agent and an emissary for the war in Ukraine, recruiting fighters, trying to fund the war in Ukraine, flying to Ukraine, doing activism for Ukraine. | ||
| You can see here with his hair even dyed the colors of Ukraine. | ||
| Was he just an obsessive sociopath? | ||
| Here he is there in Median Square with Jose Andres. | ||
| Was he an obsessive or was there something deeper going on? | ||
| Well, I'm not sure. | ||
| How is a convicted felon like this able to travel to a war zone, buy firearms? | ||
| How does a guy who has, you can see here on his FSC record, look at this. | ||
| A guy who has, sorry. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| I expanded it here. | ||
| Let's make sure that fits. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| See this? | ||
| Not employed. | ||
| Not employed. | ||
| It says he's not employed. | ||
| Employer, he's not employed. | ||
| How's a guy like that afford so many tickets to Ukraine? | ||
| How's that possible? | ||
| I mean, he's got all these felonies. | ||
| He was investigated by the FBI for illegally obtaining a firearm, which he did, yet he's voting. | ||
| How the hell is he voting in North Carolina? | ||
| Wait a second. | ||
| Hold up. | ||
| Maybe this is the most important question. | ||
| He's voting for Democrats, including voting just six months ago. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| He voted six months ago for a Democrat in person in North Carolina, a state that he allegedly doesn't live in. | ||
| How are felons that are on the FBI's radar voting for Democrats in primaries? | ||
|

How F is the system? | |
| This is proving how messed up the system is. | ||
| Boys, we're cooking. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| According to Axios, records indicate that Ralph voted in the primary. | ||
| You know, the next thing you do, Axios, is you ask the question, how are felons voting in North Carolina? | ||
| That's illegal. | ||
| How are they buying guns? | ||
| That's illegal. | ||
| Who sold them the weapon? | ||
| You know, that's going to be very interesting. | ||
| Who sold the dude the weapon? | ||
| He's in propaganda videos. | ||
| For the Azov Battalion. | ||
| Did you know this? | ||
| We're just piecing all the pieces together. | ||
| Putting them all together. | ||
| He's in propaganda videos for a neo-Nazi battalion in Ukraine that he was recruiting for. | ||
| Here is a glowing profile in the New York Times about Ryan Ralph. | ||
| Boy, man, you better come correct with the details. | ||
| We got him on this program. | ||
| He was trying to recruit Afghan fighters to go fight in Ukraine. | ||
| Here he is. | ||
| There he is in Madian Square. | ||
| Here he is in Washington, D.C. lobbying. | ||
| Who the... | ||
| Who paid for this? | ||
| Where's the money coming from? | ||
| These are expensive trips. | ||
| Getting to D.C., getting to Honolulu, getting to Florida, getting to Ukraine. | ||
| You're talking tens of thousands of dollars that the dude doesn't have to go to all these places. | ||
| Who bought the firearm for him? | ||
| Those are questions. | ||
| Man, I got to tell you what. | ||
| I hope that we have an opportunity. | ||
| To go to one of these press gaggles. | ||
| I will go and I will ask a question. | ||
| Breaking. | ||
| Former FBI official says, wait a second. | ||
| This guy must have had an inside source in order to figure out where Donald Trump was that day. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| And I'm so thankful for this audience. | ||
| I'm so thankful for you because of us. | ||
| Ron DeSantis, we were the number one leverage point yesterday to get Ron DeSantis to open his own investigation. | ||
| And Ron DeSantis says, you'll hear from us soon. | ||
| We're going to crack open our own investigation. | ||
| We don't trust the feds who are in... | ||
| Who are trying to throw Donald Trump in prison? | ||
| They're trying to destroy Trump's life, kill him in jail, and we're going to trust them to investigate a guy, an assassination attempt? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| That's what Ron DeSantis says. | ||
| And we were the first people, like, making that muscular argument. | ||
| And the governor, to his incredible credit, and the credit of his team, listened to us first, yesterday. | ||
| So this is the FBI saying, Does he have inside information? | ||
| Because of us asking these questions and because of the chat, because of you, we're getting these questions in the mouths of journalists and you heard two or three questions there in the Q&A period where they're like, this was an inside job. | ||
| How did this guy know? | ||
| How didn't you detect him? | ||
| Who was he working with? | ||
| Who sold him the weapon? | ||
| These are questions, man. | ||
| These are great questions. | ||
| Very encouraged by that. | ||
| The FBI themselves saying that it was an inside job. | ||
| Trump gunman Ryan Ralph may have had inside information, according to FBI official. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| He was camped out for 12 hours? | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Let me ask you a little question here. | ||
| Why would you camp out of somewhere for 12 hours? | ||
| Unless you knew an event was going to occur. | ||
| Where would you camp out for 12 hours? | ||
| If you want to be first in line for a ticket? | ||
| First in line at a store? | ||
| If you want to be first in line for a Trump rally or something, you'd camp out for 12 hours. | ||
| You'd camp out for 12 hours in front of, like, an NFL stadium or something because you know a game's going to be played. | ||
| How the hell did this guy know that Donald Trump was going to go to that club? | ||
| You know that Donald Trump has, like, multiple golf courses in South Florida. | ||
| Donald Trump could have gone to any of his clubs. | ||
| We've gone to Donald Trump's golf clubs. | ||
| He could have gone down to Doral in Miami. | ||
| Donald Trump could have gone to any of these golf courses. | ||
| How did he know? | ||
| Why was he camped out at exactly the right one, at exactly the right time, too? | ||
| Isn't that amazing? | ||
| Isn't it remarkable, actually? | ||
| It leads to so many more questions. | ||
| We're very thankful that the state is releasing this information, although, huh, gotta tell you, maybe somebody should ask Time Magazine what the hell this is about. | ||
| Why did Time Magazine publish a cover of Donald Trump in danger on his golf course? | ||
| This is what Time Magazine put up a week ago. | ||
| Did you just guess? | ||
| I just guessed. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Why is it that so many people are able to tie all of these different strings together and predict, just like Alex Jones did just three days ago? | ||
| We have predictions from Tucker Carlson. | ||
| We have predictions from Alex Jones. | ||
| We have predictions from Glenn Beck. | ||
| Going back a year ago. | ||
| That Donald Trump would have an assassination attempt. | ||
| But Alex Jones said that Trump was going to get another assassination attempt hours ago. | ||
| Three days ago. | ||
| Less than 72 hours ago, Alex Jones went on Glenn Beck's show and made their prediction they're going to shoot Trump again. | ||
| Why is it so predictable? | ||

What's coming? | |

|
unidentified
|
Yeah, what's coming in the next, you know, with the election, I mean, I can't see a good way that that goes. | |
| No matter who wins, I can't see, because we no longer have a country where we give each other the benefit of the doubt. | ||
| We're not going to walk away from this and say, oh, well, you know, that was fair and square. | ||
| If Trump wins, I can't imagine... | ||
| That the left and the WEF and with all of the power and money that's at stake, I can't imagine that he makes it to the Oval again. | ||
| I totally agree. | ||
| And to answer your key question, I'll put a little bit of time because it's so important, Glenn. | ||
| I don't say this because it's about me. | ||
| You ask what's coming, if he loses or wins. | ||
| I didn't tell you about the five grand juries they've had open on me trying to indict me for all sorts of little weird business stuff, and they couldn't by the grace of God. | ||
| I'm not like, John Gotti, hey, you didn't get me. | ||
| I'm like, I'm innocent. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| And they're trying that on everybody. | ||
| So if they're able to steal the election from Trump or kill him, and they already tried, and they killed him because they can see he's even more popular than 2016. | ||
| And so... | ||
| We need to pray for him. | ||
| We need to hold him up. | ||
| We need to support him in all his failings. | ||
| We're all sinners. | ||
| And we have to understand that this is the dying of the globalist empire, the old financial bubbles coming to an end. | ||
| And they tried to kill him because they knew they were going to lose. | ||
| Now they're going to try even more. | ||
| He's had multiple plane problems. | ||
| All this stuff is very serious. | ||
| And this is why I have empathy, too. | ||
| If they can get Trump, and he's right when he says, they're not trying to get me there. | ||
| They've got to get through me to get to you. | ||
| You better believe that Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan's getting more hardcore. | ||
| And I know Joe, and so I'm not going to get into baseball, but I know these... | ||

| I said they're imminently going to try to shoot him days before. | ||
| And I said they cut his security. | ||
| I was all over that. | ||
| And I said, folks... | ||
| If they kill Trump, they're going after, and I said your name, I'm not trying to make this into reality, but I said, anybody they know that will not sell out just because we can't do it, people say, well, you sell out, I can't physically do it. | ||
| I can't physically shut up. | ||
| And so, I said, they're going to go after Tucker Carlson, myself, Glenn Beck, Rogan, RFK Jr. | ||
| And I don't mean just go after us with the regular stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Because this is a real criminal regime. | ||
| And we know the State Department now was involved with the voting machines and getting Bolsonaro indicted and getting Bolsonaro kicked off the ballot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's all the same. | |
| And helping the Brazilian government go after Elon Musk now. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Oh, God, I didn't say Elon Musk. | ||
| Okay, I'm glad you said that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Elon Musk. | |
| This is the order of who they need to get, because this is who's the biggest. | ||
| And I've said this on air, and it's not about, you know, a weenie measuring contest. | ||
| I kind of like to be kind of like not, you know, because they saw me in 2016. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd like to not be on this list. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| They saw me as the biggest thing other than Trump 2016. | ||
| I was not. | ||
| Your show was bigger. | ||
| It's not about measuring. | ||
| It's just true. | ||
| So, but they picked me as like the big devil. | ||
| So it goes, Trump and Elon Musk. | ||
| You can't say who they hate more. | ||
| I think they're like twin things here, twin stars. | ||
| And then you've got... | ||
| The Rogans, Glenn Beck's, Tucker Carlson's, and then you've got Alex Jones and the Russell Brands and all that stuff. | ||
| And of course, RFK's kind of up there on his own thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's not a direct threat to them, but I think he's pissed them off so much. | |
| That, you know. | ||
| Yeah, so we're not up here like saying this, like, hey, we're on the, you know, it's like when John Hancock signed his name so big, he knew what he was doing. | ||
| And I'm telling people, this is game time. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, I'll ask Glenn Beck his own question. | ||
| I mean, I think Trump's right. | ||
| We are doomed pretty much. | ||
| I mean, barring a miracle, we saw a miracle in Butler. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think this is the last exit America can take. | |
| If we don't take this exit and... | ||
| Turn back to God. | ||
| Turn back to the Constitution. | ||
| We're done. | ||
| And we get everything we deserve. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And I do think that you look at the silencing campaign that is going on right now in Brazil, in Europe, in England, and the authoritarian lust for silence from the other side. | ||
| By the end of the next term, if it is Kamala Harris, I don't think our voices, one way or another, I don't think any dissenting voice is heard. | ||
| Alex Jones, three days ago, on Glenn Beck's long-form podcast, talking about how Donald Trump is going to get shot again. | ||
| You heard it there. | ||
| Jones, of course, going off into a much longer, full-throated rant. | ||
| But saying they're going to get Trump again. | ||
| They're going to go after Trump again. | ||
| He survived. | ||
| It was a miracle in Butler and they're going to do it again. | ||
| It's so important in these moments to understand who to listen to. | ||
| Who has been correct? | ||
| Who has been predicting this? | ||
| It's one thing to say that Donald Trump is going to get shot after he was shot. | ||
| It's another thing to openly predict that Donald Trump... | ||
| Will be shot before any... | ||
| Well, this is unthinkable. | ||
| When was the last time a president was shot? | ||
| It was in the 80s. | ||
| It was Ronald Reagan. | ||
| I think it was Reagan first term. | ||
| I'm almost sure of that. | ||
| So it was early 80s. | ||
| So you're talking 40 years ago. | ||
| Yet here we have Tucker Carlson speaking more than a year ago, saying Trump will be assassinated. | ||
| In moments like this, go to the people. | ||
| And we very humbly submit to you. | ||
| Please, subscribe to our channel. | ||
| Go to the people who have the receipts, who can show you the evidence, and who is creating a network, who can create a network effect to say, these guys were right! | ||
| It's important. | ||
| You know, they protested him. | ||
| They called him names. | ||
| He won anyway. | ||
| They impeached him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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, 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. | ||
| We're massive fans of Tucker Carlson. | ||
| I used to work for Tucker Carlson. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And... | |
| There is no one I think I would trust more than Tucker and probably Alex Jones together in a room predicting what's about to happen next because of their track record. | ||
| They've just been right. | ||
| And, you know, we went back and we went back and pulled Tucker Carlson talking about the congressional shooting and how this was in 2017, how Congress had a bunch of bullets riddled through them by a left-wing Democrat. | ||
| Bernie Sanders, donor and worker, who took an AR-15, I'm pretty sure, takes an AR-15 and goes and shoots up a baseball field full of Republicans. | ||
| His only question was, are you Republicans? | ||
| This was a hate crime. | ||
| He wasn't charged with a hate crime. | ||
| There was no reckoning. | ||
| Tucker Carlson was one of the only people who went on TV and said, the only... | ||
| People responsible for this are Democrats and their rhetoric, and it's getting worse because Democrats dehumanize people, and if you disagree with them, they don't believe that you deserve the right to live. | ||
| They believe that you should be aborted. | ||
| They believe that you don't have human rights if you disagree with them. | ||
| This is what has happened. | ||
| Tucker scoped this out from a decade ago. | ||
| And has been right. | ||
| And so when Tucker and Alex Jones got in a room together and did a podcast, let's go ahead and listen in. | ||
| This clip is over a year old. | ||
| Tucker Carlson's been predicting this for almost a decade. | ||
| Then around Christmas time last year, Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones sit down together in a room and what prediction came out of that? | ||
| Let's see if they were right. | ||
| Let's go ahead and check in. | ||
| It was a while ago. | ||
| But despite that, he's got 60% against all other Republicans. | ||
| He's 15, 20 points ahead of Biden. | ||
| It's backfired, but the deep state's not going to stop. | ||
| So you said to Trump several times in that 400 million views or whatever you got, biggest show ever, you said to him, well, is it the next thing that I'm trying to kill you? | ||
| And he's so confident. | ||
| He doesn't want to think about that. | ||
| He doesn't want to think about it. | ||
| Whereas I admire someone that's that confident, the deep state does kill people. | ||
| And that's their only next move because this is failing. | ||
| And I think they're going to kill Biden too, or I think they're going to try to... | ||
| What you said in a speech again, before the last one I talked about, like a month ago, you said, "I don't see Biden and Trump being the candidates." You see the system, the media going after Biden, and he deserves it, but they were covering it up until now. | ||
| Now they're covering the laptop. | ||
| Now they're covering attack on the dog. | ||
| Now they're covering, you know, all of his senility. | ||
| All the corruption. | ||
| The Chinese spies. | ||
| Hacking a dog. | ||
| What a pig he is. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Well, I mean, I was told that by Secret Service and by people that, let's just say, work with them. | ||
| And I'm going to leave it at that. | ||
| I actually have a contact for you. | ||
| I'd like to be able to hear it from them. | ||
| But when this is over, I'll let you actually hear it from yourself. | ||
| I think they'll tell you off record. | ||
| I think they're willing to talk to you. | ||
| But yeah, he is completely out of his mind. | ||
| He wanders around for the entire two and a half years. | ||
| It's getting worse. | ||
| Naked in the White House. | ||
| In the middle of the night, doesn't know who he is. | ||
| They have to give him a bunch of drugs, a bunch of amphetamines in the morning. | ||
| Then they've got to drug him at night. | ||
| Sometimes he's got to though, he'll like be out for the morning for a while and then comes back out at night for a ball. | ||
| That's when there's a real problem. | ||
| He is on drugs. | ||
| I have established that. | ||
| I know someone who witnessed it. | ||
| I'm not guessing at this. | ||
| I know someone personally who witnessed him taking amphetamines. | ||
| And this was during the 2020 election. | ||
| So how's this going to go? | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| I know you don't play games. | ||
| No, I don't play games with this. | ||
| I'll just say he's a makeup artist. | ||
| You said the NSA spying on me, high level. | ||
| And then a month later, they went, yes, we're spying on Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| So you don't make stuff up. | ||
| And so what I'm saying here is Biden's a liability for him. | ||
| Trump's a liability. | ||
| What do they do? | ||
| They have a right winger, they'll claim, assassinate Biden. | ||
| And they'll have a left-winger assassinate Trump. | ||
| That then gets the country even in more of a fight against each other. | ||
| And then they put in Gavin Newsom and, you know, somebody like Mike Pence or who knows. | ||
| But I really think the next 13 months is the most critical time, not just in American history, but world history. | ||
| Because if they can bring down America, they're going to bring down the world. | ||
| Then you've got the escalation. | ||
| Remember a year ago, Biden said, you can't give F-16s and Abrams tanks and cruise missiles to the Ukrainians. | ||
| That's World War III. | ||
| Now they're doing it. | ||
| So as Russia wins that war, as Colonel McGregor documented a few months ago with you, NATO is escalating. | ||
| Well, that leads right to nuclear war. | ||
| So we're so close. | ||
| That fundamentally makes me so mad. | ||
| This transcends politics. | ||
| Since when do Democrats love war? | ||
| Since when do Democrats love the intelligence agencies? | ||
| They love them now. | ||
| So this is what it looks like to have just predicted things correctly. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Accelerationism in Ukraine, the threat of nuclear war, a left-winger assassinating Trump. | ||
| This is what they're talking about. | ||
| It really is amazing to be able to have a digital archive to go back to and say, who has been telling the truth? | ||
| Who's been right? | ||
| And here you go. | ||
| Man, I mean, you can pin their statements down. | ||
| At the time, they were called insane. | ||
| Well, I don't have the articles ready, but I can show you probably 400 different articles saying that Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones are off their gourds. | ||
| They're insane. | ||
| How dare they push these dangerous conspiracy theories that there'll be assassination attempts? | ||
| And look at where we are now. | ||
| Dude, look at where we are now. | ||
| Just wild. | ||
| This moment. | ||
| Grabbing the guy up. | ||
| Guy was ready to kill Trump on video. | ||
| He brought a camera to record. | ||
| He was so proud of himself. | ||
| They had a left-winger assassinate Trump. | ||
| Well, now we've seen it twice. | ||
| Both of them, what are the similarities? | ||
| Both of them were Democrat donors. | ||
| Thomas Crooks and Ryan Roth, Democrat donors. | ||
| Both of them hated Donald Trump with a burning passion. | ||
| Both of these gunmen. | ||
| Had very shady and weird connections internationally. | ||
| Both of these gunmen could have never pulled this off by themselves. | ||
| There's just no way. | ||
| You're going to have to prove it to me. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| You're going to have to prove it to me. | ||
| That they pulled this stuff off by themselves. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| How did a 20-year-old learn how to build canister bombs by himself? | ||
| With no search history of that, no military training. | ||
| How'd this guy? | ||
| Get his rifle. | ||
| You can't just go into a gun store. | ||
| Let me make that very clear. | ||
| I've purchased many firearms. | ||
| You can't just go into a full background check. | ||
| You have to ping the FBI every time you buy a firearm. | ||
| You will know this. | ||
| And we now know that the guy was on the FBI radar. | ||
| So that's what we know as of right now. | ||
| What don't we know? | ||
| What don't we know? | ||
| I'm going to close this out with a clip of Dan Bongino and his show today. | ||
| Because if there are going to be people who have been professionally right, man, you cannot miss Dan. | ||
| You cannot miss Dan. | ||
| Dan Bongino has been professionally right on this stuff, and Dan Bongino asking all the questions today on his program. | ||
| Like, why didn't the Secret Service protect the president? | ||
| Why didn't the Secret Service utilize these specific methods and these specific tools and tactics in order to keep Trump even more safe? | ||
| And this is something that was told to us by somebody who's very close to the Secret Service, somebody who is speaking with us with real agency about that agency. | ||
| You don't protect. | ||
| It's not a box of Legos. | ||
| It's not like, oh, okay, you're a candidate for president. | ||
| Here's what you get. | ||
| The protection matches the threat, which means that if you have Donald Trump, who's the biggest footprint on earth, Who has the biggest threat assessment on earth because he's one of the most famous men, if not the most famous man on earth, with the most threats actively against him, well, obviously, Donald Trump's going to merit the best you can possibly give him for a threat assessment. | ||
| But here, ladies and gentlemen, is what Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent, has to say. | ||
| Please join us. | ||
| Please join us tomorrow for our show. | ||
| In the morning, we'll be live once again and have an entire week of rip-roaring shows for you as we cover the second Trump assassination. | ||
| God, help Donald Trump. | ||
| Pray for the president. | ||
| There are forces of evil that want him dead. | ||
| And the power of prayer works. | ||
| I know this. | ||
| So pray for the president. | ||
| Here are Bongino's questions. | ||
| Please come to our channel for the truth. | ||
| Like, share, and subscribe here. | ||
| Keeps us strong, keeps us going, and we are getting results. | ||
| All right, here's to Dan. | ||
| I'm going to ask you again, we got the most threatened man on earth, Donald Trump. | ||
| It's 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? | ||
| 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 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 second. | ||
| 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. | ||

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. | ||
| The media clown's on 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. | ||
| You better keep a good man down. | ||
| Come on, come on. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Cause 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. | ||
| Keep a good man down You |
