Ambush at the White House: America Under Attack

Ambush at the White House: America Under Attack

| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
My friends, sadly, we are live right now.
As you have been watching or been hearing, there's been an ambush at the White House or the area around that.
This is America under attack.
We have a lot to discuss, but most importantly, I want your thoughts and your comments.
What do you think?
What is your take?
What is your belief?
And how are you reacting?
What is your response?
Because your thoughts, your reaction right now is what's critical to me.
I'm watching the news.
Mrs. L and I are watching, watching very, very carefully as to what's happening.
And what we are seeing and what I am seeing is something very, very interesting right now.
We are seeing a lot of people trying their best to soft-soap this.
But we have seen in the past couple of days, we have been watching what's been happening.
And what is happening is very, very simple.
We have been seeing something very interesting.
We have been seeing a lot of people talking about what amounts to sedition.
We have been hearing more and more from individuals, from Congress people and the like, talking about military basically taking the law into their own hands.
We've been hearing from people suggesting that if you don't like what is going on, if you don't like, if you feel that your orders are illegal or the like, do something.
So right now, here is the story, and here is what we're able to see.
Let me put together as best as I can all of the various factions.
And a lot of this, this is very, very sketchy, I'm sorry to say, but let me see if I can put this into perspective for you right now.
And I want to make sure that we are accurate, as accurate as I can possibly be.
And accuracy, remember, they say the first casualty of war is the truth.
So let's see what happened.
There's been a shooting at the White House.
Two National Guard troops were shot just blocks from the White House this afternoon.
And what police and others are saying and describe as a deliberate ambush?
And the shooting happened near Farragut Square shortly after 2:15.
A suspect was taken into custody and is reportedly refusing to cooperate.
His identity has not been released.
Reports on the soldiers' condition have been conflicting.
Early statements claim both had died.
Later briefings said they remained alive but in critical condition at separate Washington hospitals.
As of this hour, their status is not officially confirmed.
President Trump issued a statement calling the gunman an animal and promising a very steep price.
He ordered 500 additional National Guard troops into Washington tonight, expanding the current deployment already in place under the crime emergency order.
Authorities briefly locked down the White House and blocked nearby streets.
Security posture across the Capitol remains elevated.
There is no public evidence yet of a wider plot or a second suspect.
Officials have not called it terrorism or political violence, but have not ruled anything out.
Right now, the motive is a mystery.
The questions are many, but the impact is immediate.
A strike this close to the center of government is more than a crime.
It is a warning.
And that is where we are right now.
And critical also to this is your chance to respond.
Let me try not to exacerbate the issue.
Let me try not to make matters worse, if that is possible.
If you have been listening as of late to the tenor to what is being suggested by as many, I think Alex Jones even called them the seditious six, from these congresspeople suggesting that you don't have to follow orders.
And then, then turning around and blaming the president for daring to claim having the the unmitigated audacity in suggesting that anybody who is guilty of sedition might.
be either subject to imprisonment or worse.
This is the rhetoric we're at right now.
And the question remains, and I ask you, do you believe?
And I've been saying this and we've been saying this, do you believe that this administration, this president, this state of America right now, do you believe that we are truly able to understand and appreciate the threat that we are at and we are enjoying?
And I don't use that in the typical word right now.
I suggest, no, absolutely not.
These are different times.
I don't know what it takes.
And I don't want to, I don't want to pile on.
I don't want to merely seem mean.
I don't want to be one of these people who is just snied.
But I never feel good.
I never feel at ease.
I never feel satisfied when I think that Kash Patel is in charge.
Something happens.
And I know that's a very, very terrible thing to say, I guess.
But one of the things which I think is so critical is to understand that leadership implies that when something happens, you have to immediately quell the fears of those individuals whose safety and whose governance you have been charged in supporting.
The best in the business historically was Rudy Giuliani.
Rudy Giuliani spoke with such an authority.
Maybe it was his gravitas, maybe the way he looked, maybe his age, his status.
I don't want to make fun of Kash Patel.
I don't want to do anything along those lines.
That's not what I'm trying to suggest.
But they're very good at theatrics.
They're very good at the Department of War and Pete Hegseth and we're going to do pull-ups.
But it is incumbent upon right now for the president to look to everybody right now and say, we are going to get to the bottom of this.
We need, I'm going to say something that I never thought I'd ever say, but I'm going to say it.
We need a secret police.
We need serious, serious, dare I say, folks involved in getting to the bottom of what's going on.
Do you think we can trust the FBI?
Do you trust the FBI?
Do you trust the CIA?
Do you trust the intelligence apparatuses now?
Do you?
Can you honestly tell me that you feel that what we are doing right now, that what we have is valid?
We are under attack.
We still don't know.
Listen to what I'm saying.
We still don't know what happened in the assassination attempts against our president.
I don't know who's in charge, but let me tell you something.
If you think that these Democrats, they might look kind of silly.
They might look silly with AOC running around doing whatever she's doing and Nancy Pelosi and all these folks laughing at Elon Omar.
They're not the ones I'm talking about.
It's the people behind them.
We, my friends, are at war internally.
You've heard about the Podesta memos.
There have been people, they have been talking about fomenting and bringing about civil war and unrest for I don't know how long.
When do you think this administration is finally going to get it through their head?
When?
Is this me?
Is this me?
Or do you feel like that?
I can't say it enough.
I can't say it enough.
And right now, we're looking at all of these folks who were, let me tell you what's going to happen.
We're going to forget about this in a couple of days.
We forget.
We are the United States of Amnesia.
So let me ask you to weigh in.
What do you think?
What do you think?
What is happening?
What is the status of what's happening right now?
Now, again, the latest.
I'm trying to get the latest.
The news is pretty good.
The best is X. X. Elon Musk X is simply the best.
It is the fastest.
I talked to a couple of my friends in the news business.
They hadn't even heard about this because for some reason, they don't look to X as a reason for this.
Our own Laurie Cuck says, allah, Heleni, Dems are dangerous.
Love you.
Thank you.
And by the way, happy, happy Thanksgiving to you in view of tomorrow.
Think about what this family is going through.
I don't know what the latest of this is.
Let me look.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive my confused and rattled sense.
I don't want to in any way find myself in the position of saying something which is kind of stupid.
And I do want to avoid this at all problem, at all costs.
But what we're talking about right now is the bigger issue is it's the threat.
This is the part I'm trying to say.
I don't want to be an alarmist.
I know that may sound silly to people who think, you know, well, isn't that what people on platforms like this do?
No, not necessarily.
What are the threats that America is looking at right now?
We talk about civil war in terms of Abraham Lincoln and Gettysburg and Robert E. Lee.
The civil war that we're talking about is we're seeing at every level, at city levels, in terms of crime, in terms of the war on children, drugs, the profusion of a sense of calamity.
And more and more and more recently, you're seeing Democrats talking about rising to the top.
They tried to take this president out twice in terms of impeachment and other types of lawfare and actually physically through an assassination attempt.
What are the implications?
What are the implications and what should Americans fear?
That's what I'm talking about.
You're not going to hear this anyplace else.
Watch the Democrats, the Democrats who, if this were reversed, if it was a Joe Biden administration, they would say that it is because of the rhetoric of the president and the Republicans, and it's this hate-filled, these linguistic vectors.
Now that we're the victims of this, now that we're saying, wait a minute, what about us?
They're saying, oh, no, no, no, this is random.
Don't worry about guns.
What about gun control?
Sorry.
You're going to be seeing more and more and more people.
You're going to see more and more police and law enforcement and National Guard units.
We have to frame it carefully without panic, but with full awareness.
I'm telling you, the civil war of today is not, you know, blue versus gray.
It is pressure on every seam, every corner, every bolt of American life all simultaneously.
That is why people feel something is coming apart, even if nobody can name it clearly and cleanly.
The threats that America faces right now are palpable.
Do you feel this?
It's not just me saying this.
And I know a lot of people, I understand that a lot of folks in the business like what I'm doing here now.
They love, they go crazy.
That's not my nature.
But for me to, for me to not recognize this would be absolutely, positively, just criminal.
The civil war that I'm talking about today is not about armies marching.
It's pressure from every direction at once.
And we don't need people in the street in uniforms and guns.
Look at Antifa.
Did we ever find out about Antifa?
Did we ever find out about Black Lives Matter?
All of the people that were responsible for the George Floyd riots, they didn't go away.
This civil war moves through culture and crime and policy, addiction, language, technology, politics, AI.
Now is the time, and I can't believe I'm saying this.
They better pick up the phone.
And President Trump needs to turn to Peter Thiel and say, now listen, I've been backing all of you Silicon Valley folks since the beginning.
And now is the time for you to show me what Palantira can do.
I want you to throw in all the data, all the metadata, everything that you know.
I want you to scan all of your social media.
That's right, Zuckerberg, everybody, all of the people that I helped.
I want you to scan everything.
Give me a report.
Where is this going?
Where are the seams?
Where are the foci?
Where are the melting points?
Where's ground zero of this?
Use the power of social media and the power of AI for the first time to help us.
Because this is slow erosion, my friends.
Crime in cities is not random.
It's systemic.
The systemic collapse of order.
Young criminals know prosecutors won't prosecute.
Citizens watch law and all we do is we just sit back.
I don't know where you are, but we just hear, well, another person.
And we're seeing it everywhere.
Not only are we seeing it in terms of people in the street, but we're seeing it in terms of people, children, young people, women who are abandoned, women who were taken, women who are kidnapped locally everywhere.
Laurie says, President Trump said Biden's turkey pardons were BS.
That's funny.
It's chaos.
Laurie also says, people are scared to do anything.
We're traumatized.
That's right.
Also, not only traumatized, Lori, but you're in a sense of almost learned helplessness.
Children are under assault from every side.
Drugs, screens, confused, fractured families.
We once built the future through children.
Now, now they're the battlefield.
Drugs, that's another thing.
These aren't simply addictions.
Fentanyl, remember, that didn't go away.
Opioids didn't go away.
Fentanyl is an act of chemical warfare dropped into every corner from cities or rural towns from not only China, but Mexico, you name it.
This is happening all the time.
And this rhetoric has become a weapon.
Not just insults, but ideas meant to delegitimize the nation itself.
And we have somebody right now, and all eyes focus on Zoran Mamdani, because the Democratic Socialists and this kind of quasi-neo-Marxist group that put him in power are going to say, okay, Z, do your thing.
Let's see how good you are.
Shake this up.
Don't be nice.
Don't play nice.
What can you do?
How far?
The world is looking.
And they pick this guy, not by random, but deliberately.
Listen, dissent is healthy, but sabotage is another story.
And there are some people in power that they know just how to push the line without crossing it.
And lawfare teaches them that Americans, that elections are not final.
Do you trust the elections?
Tell me what you feel now.
Tell me what you feel and you trust about what's going on right now.
You know when I know what's going to happen.
Nothing.
They're going to get some guy.
You know the routine.
They're going to get some fellow.
And this fellow is going to be some lunatic.
He's going to have some problems.
He's going to be, oh, I don't know so-and-so.
I can see it right now.
Go back.
Remember the fellow who self-immolated, I think, in front of the Air Force building in DC.
All of the shooters, all of them.
What did we learn?
All of the trans shooters, all of the what?
Watch how the media are going to suppress this to make sure that their focus, that their message isn't in any way contaminated.
We're not going to hear anything about this.
It's just nothing's going to happen.
The left aren't going to be calling for gun control because they like what happened.
See, they don't necessarily want death or mayhem.
I'm not saying that, but they like chaos.
They hate this.
When I say the left, let me be very careful about something.
AOC, Zoran Mom Donnie here in New York, that fella from Chicago and the usual suspects.
Those are just the performative actors.
They're kabuki dancers in this dance.
That's not what I'm talking about.
The people that motivate them, the people that propel them, that fund them, are part of a superstructure that goes beyond this.
They are more powerful than anything you can imagine, but they don't necessarily have a name.
And we could suspect, well, maybe they might be part of a, you know, they might be part of the maybe the World Economic Forum, maybe Soros groups, maybe who knows?
It doesn't really matter.
All I'm saying is that America is at war.
And I'm also telling you, we just don't get it.
We simply don't get it.
We don't understand things.
We watch TV, we watch our news, we look at our handheld devices, we maybe go someplace, we love to sit back and troll and comment, but nothing happens.
It's as though social media sucks all of the energy out of us.
Social media depletes our focus.
Social media makes all of our anger kind of compressed into one.
This is what we've got to understand here.
Now we've got to ask ourselves, what is the president going to do?
I want to remind you of something.
Right now, this is the, in fact, I used to have this days, Trump in office.
Remember this?
I used to have this little thing.
Let me see.
Count how many times of this Trump has been in office.
Here we go.
He has been in office 310 days since January the 20th of 2025.
310 days.
We're coming upon a year.
310 days.
Let me ask you something, dear and proud American.
Name one classic moment.
One gotcha.
Tell me one moment where you said, yeah, we got him real good with that.
Name them.
Who?
Who are the people?
Who?
Who?
Laurie says our government is all actors.
We're on our own.
I think you're right about this.
Answer my question.
Who are the people?
Who?
Who are the people?
Who are the people?
Name it.
Comey, that case has gone bye-bye.
Tish James, that case has gone bye-bye.
And frankly, for some of the most ridiculous reasons I've ever seen.
I mean, it's hard to believe what we've done, but it's true.
Who is in charge of this?
Who?
Who?
How does this even remotely work?
Where is our vindication?
Where is our passion?
Where is our anger?
Where is all of this momentum?
Where is this happening?
Where?
This is the part I don't understand.
This is where I'm saying, I don't understand this.
I love the president.
He spends a lot of time in trappings.
He has the West, no, the Oval Office.
He has a sign in gold.
Tacky?
Yes, but it's his home.
He has a ballroom.
Okay, that's fine.
We've seen that.
He's met with various people where something is going on.
Do you understand what's happening with Ukraine?
I don't understand it.
I don't understand any of it.
Do you understand what's happening in the Middle East?
Domestically?
Do you feel satisfied?
Do you feel like Kash Patel and Pan Bunny?
No.
And I hate to say this.
I'm giving the president all that he has, all the chances he has.
I really want him to understand.
I want him to.
I don't care about infighting with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I don't care.
Marjorie Taylor Green, God bless her, is irrelevant to this.
It's irrelevant.
More time is spent on these little internecine national inquirer battles.
The question that I have, what is so important and so critical for us to understand and to grasp is a very, very simple concept.
And that simple concept is who is in charge?
I want to fight back.
I want these people to fear us.
I want there to be, I'm sorry, a holy shit moment.
I want there to be a feeling that they get for the first time where people respect Trump.
I want the world, I think the world sort of respects him.
I think they do more so than we do.
What are we doing?
The word doesn't get out.
We need something drastic.
Something big has to happen.
Some Hillary Clinton indictment, something that sticks.
Real U.S. attorneys who know what they're doing.
This case in Bombay, Virginia with Hannigan or Halligan or whatever, this was embarrassing.
She wasn't even eligible to be a U.S. attorney, and she's signing indictments.
This is amateurish.
I don't understand this.
And I want so much to believe and to continue believing in President Trump, but I don't know if his people are behind him.
Do you think they are?
Do you feel that his staff has his best interest at heart?
Do you?
Do you think they're actually looking out for him?
I would love to think so, but I don't know.
The president was doing great when he was trying to take back the law and order aspects through National Guard employment.
And interestingly enough, a lot of the people who lived in that state, in fact, it was, if you look at Maureen Dowd, that irrelevant Herodin from the New York Times, she in Washington says, you know, I kind of like this.
So I'm going to do this, my friends.
If you pray, pray for the families, pray for these National Guardsmen, pray, not really sure who's what, if they're hurt.
I hope they have a full recovery.
I hope they get this person.
I hope the person lives.
And I hope they, through unique and improvisational means of questioning, we get to the bottom of this.
Who is responsible for this?
Who is responsible?
In an era, supposedly, where we're supposed to be the violence generators, our side with our gun beliefs and our Second Amendment of fealty, we're supposedly the ones that are responsible for all this death and mayhem in the world.
What about them?
They're doing it.
They're showing it.
It is the left.
But there's something worse.
There's somebody behind this.
There are groups of people.
There are people that want to see this president fail.
He has been gumming up the works since he came into office twice.
Joe Biden, the Autopen, Kaymala, they were perfect.
They didn't ask any questions.
They did whatever was done.
You will never know the bills, the executive orders, the PDBs, the signature statements.
You will never know all that was signed when that coot was in office.
We have no idea.
You do not know how horrible the blow to them was.
The first thing, the best thing this president ever did along with Elon Musk was to disband USAID.
That didn't just take down pet projects.
That shut down Hollywood.
Hollywood was USAID paid for everything.
You have no idea the billions of dollars that were pumped out, unaccountable.
Black budgets, slush funds, off the books.
I mean, it was, remember people like De Niro?
Remember when De Niro was there all the time?
Rob Reiner?
Remember that?
They were everywhere.
Bet Midler.
They were all over social media.
USA dried up.
So did their careers.
So did their movies.
So did their presence.
We don't even know how much that happened.
The Kennedys, the Kennedy family, don't be surprised if this, I don't know how many folks there are, but these folks are still in power.
With how many, what, a thousand of them?
Lori says, I still trust President Trump and I'm grateful.
I Trump trust him, Lori, intrinsically.
I don't necessarily trust the people that work with him.
I don't trust the people who have his best interests at heart, especially when it comes to foreign policy.
Foreign policy, that is not his strong suit at all.
He has look at Ukraine.
It's schizophrenic.
But let me go back to this.
The Kennedys, show you how bad they are.
This Tatiana Schlossberg, poor young woman in her 30s with a child.
She has this rare form of myeloid leukemia.
She was slamming Bobby Kennedy over vaccines, even as she, I'm not saying she's on her deathbed and I hope she gets better, but they are so emboldened.
They are so committed to going after the targeted enemies that were a part of them receiving, I wouldn't be surprised, billions of dollars.
This is where we are right now.
Let me explain something.
This is like nothing we have ever seen.
Nothing that we have ever seen.
America doesn't exist now like it ever did.
I did a piece, I hope you saw it, on sovereign AI.
Sovereign AI.
Tomorrow I have a video dropping on the feminization of America.
Now that's misleading.
It's not that we're becoming less masculine.
We're taking and we're involving a lot of the worst traits from, I hate to say it, from a feminized worldview.
When you concern yourself too much with feelings and with equity and roles, that's what this is.
DEI, the foundations of that, was a kind of a pathologically feminized worldview.
It is something that is alien to more, I'm sorry, masculine endeavors, success, goals, goalposts, points, victory, results, that sort of thing.
We saw in the past 30 years in the role, psychology was almost all a almost always a male-dominated endeavor.
It was very, very research-oriented, not anymore.
A friend of mine, I'm not going to mention his name, happened to be, he's a comedy writer, worked for a lot of big, big shows and that's really.
He said, you're not going to believe, he says, what we're seeing right now is a bunch of folks, the people who run comedy are a bunch of single women with cats and lesbians.
And he said that he's very, very liberal, but he said, it's the sensibility now.
They don't understand the aggressive part of comedy.
Comedy, stand-up, is very masculine, very in-your-face, very, very, very confrontational.
They had a hard time with this.
And it's something that was very interesting.
It made me think, made me think, ooh, that's interesting.
So what we're seeing at every level there is, and I can't even tell you, Mrs. L did, we were on, she was on WABC on my show on Warrior Wednesday.
AI, there was an AI toy that was taken off the market that would instruct little kids how to light matches and how to go in the kitchen and get knives.
This is, we're, we're, I want you to understand something.
Maybe, maybe I'm not making this clear.
Maybe you might think I'm just being hyperbolic.
Maybe you just think I'm just saying this.
This is uncharted territory.
This has no analog.
Nothing.
Nothing.
And I go back to what I'm saying.
We need a secret police.
We need a Peter T.L. Palantir.
And we need to have to unleash our own big brother against the enemies of this republic.
Let's use AI, AGI, and the incredible powers to protect our beloved country.
So with that, my friends, I thank you.
Lori Cuck, thank you.
I hope that we get to speak before tomorrow.
But in the event we don't, I wish you and your family a glorious Thanksgiving.
Remember, as Mrs. L says, Thanksgiving is really the only time that even remotely deals with family.
Christmas tends to be, you don't really commercialize Thanksgiving a lot unless you want to go for, you know, pumpkin lattes, but it really is about going to family, having, you know, meals and that sort of thing.
Take pictures.
Remember these events.
You will be, depending upon your age, I think people of my generation know this, when you look back, the memories that I had then, I didn't understand how important they were.
I didn't grasp it.
I wasn't able to understand.
I wasn't able to understand the complexity and why important and how important it was, but it was.
And thank God we have pictures because remember the old days, sometimes you had one, you had a roll of film and you got to develop.
Now we've got pictures and video of plenty.
So anyway, my best to you and your family.
I'm going to be on later.
