Fed Explains Everything We Know About Trump's Shooter
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
And we are live.
What's up, guys?
Welcome to Fed Reacts today.
We're going to be talking about the Trump attempted assassination.
We're going to go into a part two of it, give a bit more details on the shooter, aka Crooks.
Let's get into it, guys.
Our special agent with homeless investigations, okay, guys.
HSI.
This is what Fed Reacts covers.
Defender Jeffrey Williams, an associate YSL did commit the felony.
Here's what 6ix9ine actually did.
I can share this trip.
This attack shifted the whole U.S. government.
This guy got arrested for espionage.
Okay, trading secrets with the Russian John Wayne Gacy, aka the killer clown.
Okay, one of the most prolific serial killers of all time, killed 33 people.
Zodiac Killer is a pseudonym of an unidentified serial killer who operated in Northern California.
They really get off on getting attention from the media.
Many years, Jeffrey Epstein sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at it home.
It was OJ working together to get Nicole killed.
We're going to go over his past, the gang time, so that this all makes sense.
And we are live.
What's up, guys?
Welcome to Fed Reacts, man.
Been a very long and busy day, guys.
Been really, really hectic.
Give me ones in the chat if audio is good.
If you guys can hear me, and everything is coming in nice and crispy.
Give me ones in the chat if everything is coming in nice and good.
Because we cool, cool, cool.
I see ones all over the place.
Sweet, guys.
We're live on all the platforms.
We're live on YouTube, Rumble, X, obviously, locals, and yeah, Rumble, YouTube, X, and locals.
So, yeah, guys, today we're gonna be talking about a little bit more about the shooter.
As you guys know, I covered this yesterday.
We had a bunch of you guys watching.
Thank you for turning out and supporting.
I've been in X Spaces all day talking about this, getting the lowdown, what's going on, giving my handle on this situation, obviously, as you guys know.
You guys know what I used to do for work, right?
Work for HSI.
But what I don't talk about as much as I did, I have done Secret Service details in the pack in the past.
And the reason why I know this is because the reason why I know this is because in 2017, I was put on a protection detail for the president of Congo.
So when the UN came into town, and anytime you're put on a Secret Service detail, you're there to help supplement and augment them.
And during that time, I was able to kind of get a glimpse and idea of how Secret Service works.
And I kind of realized something I've been talking about in a lot of the spaces and during a lot of the podcasts is that Secret Service relies heavily, guys, on other agencies to help them, which, you know, I think this is kind of a problem that the American public isn't really aware of.
Nobody really knows.
That Secret Service is an agency that's been suffering from attrition for a very long time.
It's a very difficult job, guys.
A lot of guys get divorced.
A lot of guys can't maintain their marriages and their relationship.
It's the number one most divorced agency in the country because you work long and odd hours and you're doing protection detail and you can travel at the drop of a hat.
And it's not really fun.
You're sitting around watching a random door for like eight to ten hours, 12 hours, and you know, and that's what you do.
You don't do criminal investigations.
You're doing mostly protection details.
And a lot of times you'll get put on some random, you know, president's daughter's detail, right?
That's, you know, it's one thing to protect Trump.
Imagine protecting like, I don't know, Bill Clinton's cousin.
Like, that sucks, bro.
That sucks.
You know, I mean, it's media family.
You guys know what I'm saying.
But like Bill Clinton's brother or some shit.
Like, it would suck.
So, um, so that's what it is to be secret service.
But today, we're going to talk about a little bit more on the shooter.
Um, and we could kind of go ahead and get right into it.
I got a video here.
Um, Rosie said audio is good.
Don't stabilize it.
Yeah, man.
People be trolling, bro.
People really be trolling, man.
Uh, so I got a video here.
Let's uh play this, and then we got another video, and then we're gonna play um Biden's address, and I'll give you guys uh reactions to it, and then we'll watch the news real time, see what the hell's going on, and uh, make our way our opinion on it.
I don't predict that this stream will be as long, guys.
I covered a lot of this stuff yesterday, and I don't want to be redundant.
Um, and then we're probably also going to cover this tomorrow as well.
When we're going to bring on uh Zerka, Hinkle, Sneko, and we're going to talk about this more of like a roundtable situation.
We're going to cover a bunch of geopolitical matters for that matter for that matter tomorrow.
It's going to be a great show.
Oh, hold on, let me turn this up.
Give me one sec.
Sorry, guys.
I think I had to tap muted.
President Donald Trump and Russia.
Give me one second, chat if you guys could hear this.
Take a look at what happened.
Secret Service agents swarmed former President Donald Trump and rushed him off stage after a gunman fired shots during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
We had what we're calling an assassination attempt.
That's a special agent of charge, if I'm not mistaken, for Pittsburgh, FBI, FBI, Pittsburgh.
And then you can see here, state police, top of the flu chafer state police.
And then here we go.
That's ATF right here.
This guy's probably a higher-level manager as well over at ATF.
Against our former president, Donald Trump.
It's still an active crime scene.
Trump said he was shot by a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear.
On his truth social media platform, he wrote, quote, I knew immediately that something was wrong, and then I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.
A New York Times photographer captured this image of what appears to show.
Guys, look at how close he was.
We're talking millimeters from death, guys.
Like, literally, millimeters from death.
Wild, wild stuff, man.
Literally, you can see the bullet right there.
And he literally turned his head at the last second and boom, dodged it.
And it nicked his ear.
Bullets racing by the former president's head.
The FBI identified the gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
They say he fired shots from outside the secure cordoned area of the rally atop an elevated structure.
He starts shooting.
Bow, bow, bow, bow.
About four to five shots rang out.
Law enforcement converged on Crooks' family's suburban Pittsburgh home overnight.
They asked us to leave our house.
They told us it was a state of emergency.
No warning.
They just knocked on the door in the middle of the night.
Officials say the gunman fired six to eight rounds from an AR-15 assault rifle before he was shot and killed by a member of the Secret Service counter-assault team.
The FBI called it, quote, surprising that he was able to fire at the stage before he was killed.
We do not currently have an identified motive, although our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt we do know that this guy was a Trump hater.
To identify.
I mean, that's plain to see, but we do know that he disliked Trump quite a bit from there was, I think, a story told on one of the spaces today that he went up to a lunch table before and said, oh, I hate Trump, blah, blah, blah.
What that motive was.
Last night's rally in Pennsylvania was former President Trump's last before the Republican National Convention gets underway here in Milwaukee.
I might be there, guys.
I think I might be there.
Right now, plans are underway to expand the security perimeter around this venue.
President Biden spoke with Trump Saturday evening.
He condemned the attack.
There's no place in America for this kind of violence.
It's sick.
It's sick.
Trump was treated at a local hospital.
He returned to his golf club in New Jersey.
Channing, USA, obviously, when he's saying fight, fight.
Jersey early this morning.
All right.
And then we got another one here.
This goes more into the shooter's background, guys.
So sit back and let's learn a little bit about Thomas Matthew Crooks, guys.
And tonight, federal investigators are delving into Crooks' history.
He's being described as a highly intelligent loner who.
Audio should be good.
Give me ones in the chat.
If audio is good, guys.
It doesn't have to be all of you.
You see a little bit of ones, and I know I'll be good, but this should be better audio than the last video.
Somehow had a secret plan to kill the former president.
Police say they found suspected bomb-making material in Crook's car and evacuated two square blocks in Bethel Park while searching his parents' home.
That's where we find KDKA lead investigator Andy Sheehan, who shares what he's found out about the would-be assassin.
And Andy, what can you tell us?
As you can see, law enforcement courted off the place yesterday, guys.
So matter of fact, I'll pull the video up for you guys while we play this.
I'll show you better than I can tell you.
America news that Thomas Crook was behind this assassination attempt comes as a shock to this quiet Bethel Park neighborhood.
Tonight, he remains a puzzle to federal investigators and his former classmates.
Thomas Crooks.
Here is a high school graduation approximately two years prior.
To a smattering of applause, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who failed in his assassination attempt on former President Trump, is seen here graduating from Bethel Park High School two years ago.
News of his brazen act comes as a shock to his former classmates.
Anyone who knew him, close or not, it was just not something that we would have ever seen coming.
Described as a highly intelligent student who excelled in advanced placement classes in both history and math.
And this is from my Twitter yesterday.
You guys can see here, this is from one of the mug club members tried to go to Crook's house last night when the news broke out.
Excuse me.
What's going on?
I have no idea.
What?
I can't go down the road?
Nope.
Why not?
Because I was voting to close it.
What's that?
Because I was told to close it.
Okay.
Are you Secret Service?
No, I'm not.
You're not.
Well, I'm allowed to, sir.
Well, you can move on, too.
I can, but I'm allowed to photograph.
You can get out of the way.
I got traffic coming.
You can go.
I'll go now.
All right.
Have a good one.
All right.
So clearly, they didn't want them there.
And the reason why, guys, that we're finding out now is that they found explosives in his car.
And they had to, that's why they had to make such a big circumference around the property because they were worried that he would have explosives at his house as well.
So now we know the reason why, right?
And like I said before, law enforcement is not going to disclose anything like when it's ongoing investigation, but now we know why they didn't want anyone around there and they created a perimeter.
Former classmate described as a highly intelligent student who excelled in advanced placement classes in both history and math.
Former classmate Summer Barkley said he was quiet, kept to himself, but was always with the ready answer.
Everyone kind of knew him as the kid that knew everything.
So everything, we would always joke, say, I bet Thomas knows the answer to this question.
If we don't, Thomas knows it.
Like you could look at him and you would be like, something's a little off.
Though Barkley said Crooks did have a few friends, others described him as a loner with an odd demeanor who was picked on by other students.
He did sit alone at lunch.
Like he was always alone.
I mean, he was bullied every day.
Crooks is the son of Matthew and Mary Crooks here in this middle-class neighborhood in Bethel Park.
State records show both parents are licensed behavioral.
And Bethel Park, guys, I broke this down yesterday.
Bethel Park approximately an hour away, 52 miles on I-79 North.
Behavioral counselors.
Matthew works nearby at Community Care Behavior.
So both parents, they said since behavioral here in this middle class neighborhood in Bethel Park, state records show both parents are licensed behavioral counselors.
Matthew, isn't that crazy?
Licensed behavioral counselors, both of them.
Works nearby at Community Care Behavioral Health, a subsidiary of UPMC Health Plan.
Despite his academic achievements, Barkley said after graduation, Thomas Crooks did not go away to college and instead stayed home, living with his parents and enrolled in the community college of Allegheny County.
Sources say federal law enforcement is investigating his mental health history and emotional state leading up to the shooting.
The FBI confirms it was Matthew Crooks who legally purchased the AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle his son used in the attack, which wounded the former so the AR-15 belonged to his father.
And I talked about this in one of the spaces earlier.
So guys, the way this works, right?
When you purchase a farm in the United States, okay, you have to fill out a form, this form to be exact, okay?
This form right here, my friends.
Okay.
So when you're buying a gun, you got to fill out this form.
And this form, right, obviously asks you a bunch of questions.
Have you ever been in Jewk as a mental defective or ever been committed to a mental institution?
Have you been discharged from the armed forces under dishonorable discharge conditions?
Are you subject to court order, including military protection order, et cetera, right?
And this is actually the form that Kodak Black signed incorrectly and went to jail for.
This is also the form that Hunter Trump, Hunter Biden, excuse me, Hunter Biden incorrectly signed and got arrested for as well because he was under the use of drugs and that makes him a prohibited person.
And then for Kodak, he was under indictment in another jurisdiction.
Let me see if I can find here.
Boom.
Are you under indictment or information, any court or felony?
And as you guys know, Kodak had that sexual assault case out of, I think it was North or South Carolina.
It was one of the Carolinas.
And he checked this as no, which obviously that's a lie.
And then we had for Hunter Biden, are you an all unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any depressive stimuli, et cetera, right?
And he put yes when he really was.
And lying on this form, guys, constitutes false statements, right?
Let's see here if they even have, if they put it here.
I further certified that the firearms transfer is within 30 days.
Okay.
Okay, not going to read all that.
It's boring, but you guys get the idea.
This is basically you putting your stuff, signing.
And if you lie on this form, it's going to create problems because it's an official document, right?
And this is what you have to fill out to get a gun every time.
Now, why do I say this?
That's how they're able to trace the gun back.
So the AR-15 was purchased by his father.
And anytime a gun is used in a crime in the United States, guys, they're going to go into a database called e-trace.
Okay.
ATF has a database called e-trace.
And in that database, they're able to pull this form and figure out who originally purchased that gun.
And they will go ahead and go back to that individual and interview them and figure out how that gun ended up where it's at.
So let's go into a drama scenario, right?
In this situation, right?
Let's say Fresh, right?
I buy a pistol.
I buy my Glock, right?
And I sell it to Fresh.
I'm like, yo, Fresh, you know, I don't want this Glock anymore.
I'm getting a better one.
Here you go.
Sell it to him, right?
For $500.
I get a bill of sale, or if I'm smart, I would do a bill of sale, which by the way, pro tip, guys, do not sell your guns.
And if you do, sell it with a bill of sale.
Okay, and you're going to see why here in a second.
Fresh takes the gun.
I don't see him for 10 years, right?
Next thing I know, I get a knock in my door.
FBI, open it up.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
I get up, open the door, and there's ATF and FBI agents.
Hey, we got some questions about this gun that you purchased 10 years ago.
Wait, what?
That Glock?
Oh, man.
I fucking sold that shit.
You know, I'm happy asleep and shit getting across that mind.
Yeah, I sold that, man.
And I sold it to this black nigga.
You can't talk.
Walter Weeks, yeah.
You got proof of that, sir.
I showed them the bill of sale.
Hopefully, I kept that thing, right?
I sold it to him.
Okay, cool.
Because your name came up as the original purchaser of this gun.
And then they're going to go ahead and talk to Walt, right?
And then they can work their way back and then figure out, because it might not be Walt who committed the crime.
It might be Walt sold the gun to someone else and the gun got passed or it got stolen, right?
This is why, also, guys, if your gun is ever stolen, report that shit immediately, okay?
Because if that gun turns up in the middle of a crime scene, they're coming to you and you want to be able to have that plausible deniability or alibi, for lack of better terms, as to why that gun was involved in a crime, right?
But E-Trace is always going to get you back to the original purchase.
As a matter of fact, this is how they were able to identify Crooks so quickly, guys, is because it was his father, and then they just worked their way backwards and figured out it was his son.
Because when he was killed, and when they found him on the scene, he didn't have identification with him for obvious reasons, right?
Dude who's going to try to assassinate the president probably doesn't want to walk around with his ID, right?
But this is the form right here.
Give me ones in the chat.
This makes sense, guys.
Now you guys know what the ATF 4473 form is.
You guys understand what E-Trace is.
You understand what the ATF is, and you understand how guns are traced to the United States.
Give me ones if you learned something.
Give me twos if you're confused.
And if you're going to say why you're confused, say the two and tell me specifically why.
All right, so I can answer that.
Sweet.
I really love when I see all these ones that you guys are learning.
Really, really enjoy that shit, man.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
I don't see any twos.
Someone said two just got here.
Rewind, nigga.
Mark, what ways can they trace it from here?
They use a database called E-Trace, guys.
E-Trace is the database.
And normally it takes you 24 hours to like a week to get a response.
The fact they were able to get it back so quickly tells you, obviously, how much of a priority this was for law enforcement.
So how do you obtain a bill of sale?
That's just something you could do by yourself, man.
You guys are clowns.
All right.
We'll get back into this video.
You guys are putting twos and trolling, all right?
The president killed an attendee and critically.
Someone said, good question.
Does adjudication count too?
Yeah.
Like, if you've been marijuana, use exemplify you from owning a firearm.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it does, guys.
Guys, why do you think I'm so big on telling y'all not to use alcohol, not to use weed, right?
Guys, if you smoke weed and you get caught with a gun, you could jam yourself up from a federal standpoint because marijuana is still considered a controlled substance.
Okay, guys?
If you are an American that loves the Second Amendment, do not smoke marijuana, man.
It's just not worth it, bro.
It's really not worth it.
It's still a federal crime, guys.
It's still illegal federally.
All right.
So good, fantastic question.
Two, will the father be liable?
I don't think so at this point, guys.
I know they definitely interviewed him, but I don't think he's going to be liable in this situation.
Hey, Mark, can you explain the pros and cons for both HSI and FBI in terms of being a special agent presenter officers both?
Which more is there to go with?
You had a CGJO from the FBI.
Yes, I did have a conditional job offer from the FBI.
I will, that is a fantastic question.
I'll go ahead and answer that.
HSI versus FBI job quality.
I will go ahead and answer that for you once we get through this stuff.
I'll do that at the end, King Dorula.
Good question.
Fantastic question, actually.
Two, how did they find out the identity so quickly?
I told you through E-Trace.
That's how they find us so quickly.
Let's see if there's any other things in the chat here that I missed.
What if the gun is unregistered?
Every gun is going to be traced back somewhere, guys.
You can't procure a weapon in the United States.
There's going to be, there's going to be the only way that it won't be registered to some degree is if they scratch the serial numbers off, et cetera.
But every gun in the United States is going to be involved with some FFL, unless it's like some fucking historic antique type gun or something.
But you run that serial number, it's probably going to be E-Trace, guys.
So, all right, good questions, guys.
Really good inquisitive questions.
Clee wounded two others.
That's why it's a federal crime to scratch a serial number off a gun, by the way, guys.
This student tells CBS News.
Someone said, even if it's smuggled over the border, remember, guys, guns go south.
Mexicans need the guns down there because they're illegal in their country.
Guns don't normally come into the United States.
They go south.
Keep things simple, guys.
Drugs come north into the United States.
Money and guns flow south of the United States.
Guns are easy to get in the United States, so Mexico wants them.
Drugs are hard to get in the United States, so Americans want them.
There you go.
That's the equation.
And the money goes south as well, because it's to pay off the drug traffickers.
As a freshman, Thomas Crooks unsuccessfully tried out for the rifle team at the high school, but did not make it for being a poor shot.
Other students.
was a part of a gun club as well, this guy.
Students tell us Crooks had a keen interest in history and government affairs, but did not display overt political feelings.
According to Pennsylvania voter records, he was a registered Republican.
But there is also this Federal Campaign Commission record of a 2021 donation, giving $15 to Act Blue, a progressive political action committee, which funds left-leaning Democratic candidates.
His mother Mary is a registered Democrat and his father Matthew is a libertarian.
Residents were evacuated last night when federal agents commenced the search of the house and have not been able to return.
No, and my wallet and everything.
And I told you guys this: like, they're turning that house upside down, guys.
They do have his phone, by the way, guys.
They sent it over to Quantico because obviously it's going to need a passcode to be opened.
Al, so I've been driving around with this dog all night.
Now, this neighborhood has been evacuated and will be evacuated until further notice.
Meanwhile, feather investigators are trying to.
And that's because they're not sure of the extent of the explosives.
They put together the puzzle that is Thomas Crooks.
Reporting live in Bethel Park, Andy Sheehan, KDKA TV News.
Andy, thank you.
All right, so we're going to go into Biden, his address to the nation.
Blood clearly on his fingers.
The Secret Service says the suspect was armed with that rifle that was legally purchased by his father.
Tonight, we want to listen to the president as he now addresses the nation about this political violence, this attempted assassination.
Let's listen.
If I'm not mistaken, this is around 8 p.m.
Chat.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I think he addressed the nation tonight at around 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
To the President.
I want to speak to you tonight about the need for us to lower the temperature in our politics.
And to remember, or we may disagree, we are not enemies.
We're neighbors.
We're friends, co-workers, citizens.
And most importantly, we're our fellow Americans.
We must stand together.
Yesterday's shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania calls on all of us to take a step back, take stock of where we are, how we go forward from here.
Thankfully, former Trump is not seriously injured.
I spoke to him last night.
Former Trump.
Oh my God, bro.
This guy can't not fuck up at some point.
I'm grateful.
He's doing well, and Jill and I keep him and his family in our prayers.
We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victims who was killed.
Corey was a husband, a father, a volunteer firefighter, a hero, sheltering his family from those bullets.
We should all hold his face.
Rest in peace to that firefighter that passed away.
He was shot while trying to shield his family during the chaos.
Family and all those injured in our prayers.
Earlier today, I spoke about an ongoing investigation.
We do not know the motive of it.
He did address the nation earlier today, guys.
He was supposed to go at 130.
He didn't end up coming closer to two until closer to two.
I was up earlier.
And he didn't say much.
All he said that, you know, we're going to beef up Trump's security and this was terrible.
He gave the typical political talk points.
The shooter yet.
We don't know his opinions or affiliations.
We don't know whether he had help or support or if he communicated with anyone else.
Law enforcement professionals, as I speak, are investigating those questions.
Tonight, I want to speak to what we do know.
A former president was shot.
An American citizen killed while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing.
We cannot, we must not go down this road in America.
We've traveled before throughout our history.
Violence has never been the answer.
Whether it's with members of Congress of both parties being targeted and shot, or a violent mob attacking the Capitol on January 6th, or brutal attack on the spouse of former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, or information and intimidation.
Yeah, I could cover that case for you guys in the future as well.
That was wild.
On election officials.
Do it attacking her husband with a hammer.
Or the kidnapping plot against the city governor.
Or an attempted assassination on Donald Trump.
There is no place in America for this kind of violence or for any violence ever.
Period.
No exceptions.
We can't allow this violence to be normalized.
You know, the political record of this country has gotten very heated.
It's time to cool it down.
We all have a responsibility to do that.
Yes, we have deeply felt strong disagreements.
The stakes in this election are enormously high.
I've said it many times that the choice in the selection we make in this election is going to shape the future of America and the world for decades to come.
I believe that with all my soul.
I know that millions of my fellow Americans believe it as well.
And some have a different view as to the direction our country should take.
Disagreement is inevitable in American democracy.
It's part of human nature.
But politics must never be a literal battlefield, a God forbid, a killing field.
I believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate, to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the Declaration.
And, you know, obviously he's getting a little bit of heat because people, because he made a comment about Trump has got to be a part of the bullseye, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff.
Guys, I don't think, you know, people are, the tinfoil hats are coming out.
Trump, you know, this was inside job to get Trump killed with Biden's Secret Service, et cetera.
From the data I have, guys, it doesn't look that way.
This looks to me like to be incompetence, right?
Obviously, more facts will come out and we'll see.
But, you know, I think this is obviously just a very heated campaign, and they're taking a lot of low blows at each other.
And obviously, it sucks that a foreign president was shot in this situation, but I think that's what Biden's trying to do here: de-escalate the heatedness of this presidential campaign.
We stand for an America, not of extremism and fury, but of decency and grace.
All of us now face a time of testing as the election approaches.
The higher the stakes, the more fervent the passions become.
This places an added burden on each of us to ensure that no matter how strong our convictions, we must never descend into violence.
Republican Convention will start tomorrow.
I have no doubt they'll criticize my record and offer their own vision for this country.
I'll be traveling this week making the case for our record and the vision, my vision of the country, our vision.
I'll continue to speak out strongly for our democracy, stand up for our Constitution and the rule of law, to call for action at the ballot box.
No violence on our streets.
That's how democracy should work.
We debate and disagree.
We compare and contrast the character of the candidates, the records, the issues, the agenda, the vision for America.
But in America, we resolve our differences at the battle box.
You know, that's how we do it, at the battle box, not with bullets.
The power to change America should always rest in the hands of the people, not in the hands of would-be assassin.
You know, the path forward through competing visions of the campaign should always be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence.
You know, we're blessed to live in the greatest country on earth, and I believe that with every soul, every power of my being.
So tonight, I'm asking every American to recommit to make America so, make America, think about it.
What's made America so special?
Here in America, everyone must be treated with dignity and respect, and hate must have no safe harbor.
Here in America, we need to get out of our silos where we only listen to those with whom we agree, where misinformation is rampant, where foreign actors fan the flames of our division to shape the outcomes consistent with their interests, not ours.
Let's remember here in America, while unity is the most elusive of all goals right now.
Nothing is more important for us now than standing together.
We can do this.
You know, from the beginning, our founders understood the power of passion.
So they created a democracy that gave reason and balance a chance to prevail over brute force.
That's the American we must be.
An American democracy where arguments are made in good faith.
An American democracy, where the rule of law is respected, an American democracy, where decency, dignity, fair play aren't just quaint notions, but living, breathing realities.
We owe that to those who come before us, to those who gave their lives for this country.
We owe that to ourselves.
We owe it to our children and our grandchildren.
Look, let's never lose sight of who we are.
Let's remember we are the United States of America.
There is nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together.
God bless you all.
May God protect our troops.
President Biden calling on unity from this country.
Know and that's what you know, typical.
Obviously, he's gonna try to de-escalate the situation.
That's what I predicted he would do, right?
That's his job as a president.
Let's go ahead and look at this BlackRock commercial.
A lot of you guys are asking me about this BlackRock commercial.
I'll play it.
It made its rounds on Twitter today.
Let me see here.
You see him for a split second, guys.
But let's see here: Black Rock Black Rock commercial in here.
No.
Well, could we not find?
Oh, here we go.
This is it.
My name is Brian Delalo.
I teach AP and honors economics.
There he is right here.
See him?
There's your boy right there, man.
With that weird-ass chin and face, weird up hair, weird, fucked-up hair.
There he is right there in front of the class.
In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Financial well-being to me is knowing that I can be free to do the things that I love to do.
Yeah, fuck BlackRock, bro.
Maybe we can get another thing here.
This lame music.
Or someday they say, you know, that guy made this place a special place to come to school.
Oh, you missed it right there.
Hold on.
My bad, guys.
And gave as much as he could to help the community.
Gave as much as he could to a special place to come.
There he is right there.
To school.
There he is.
More of a close-up.
This guy definitely wasn't blessed with handsome genetics.
I'll tell y'all that.
Holy.
No wonder he was pissed off and ostracized.
And gave as much as he could to help the community.
Yeah, going crazy to chat L. Underbite.
Oh, my God, bro.
But yeah, that is him, guys.
You can see him from here in the beginning of the video, sitting right here.
And then you can see him again here.
Let's see if we get a still shot.
Yeah, it is an ugly nigga, man.
I ain't gonna lie.
God damn, bro.
No wonder he was so pissed to come to school and gave as much as he guys.
He was only 20 years old, this dude.
Fucking kid, man.
Fucking idiot, man.
All right, so let's see what's the latest with the news.
So we know who the shooter is now, a bit of his background.
Let's go and see what's going on with the news.
And with that, but certainly if you started, you know, even if there were rounds in and around like the front entrance or something or one of the entrances there, and rounds just started impacting, you know, it may not be a cause of massive destruction, but it would certainly cause massive disruption if you were there.
There was a crowd that was near or in or around the RNC, and all of a sudden, rounds.
I'm gonna read chats here as well, guys.
Get your chats and I'm gonna read your chats.
That would definitely make the news.
We got 5,500 of you guys watching on YouTube and another 2,100 of you guys watching on Rumble, man.
Shout out to all you guys.
Like the video, guys.
Do me a favor.
Let's push this thing up in the algorithm.
Like this video.
Subscribe to the channel.
I'm probably going to have to take down the video off of Fresh and Fit Man, unfortunately, guys, which kind of sucks.
So I'll re-upload it for you, ninjas, clean it up a bit, re-upload it.
But do me a favor, guys, and like the video.
I'll definitely put it back up on Castle Club, which, by the way, guys, we are 7,100 plus guys strong on Castle Club.
It's fucking lit, man.
Dom DeMonco, plus you guys on Castle Club, guys.
So do me a favor, join Castle Club, guys.
CastleClub.tv, as you guys know, is the home base for us.
We're demonetized on YouTube.
It sucks.
We're probably not going to get remonetized.
I don't know.
We reapplied.
But if you guys really support me, support the content.
I've been grinding like crazy the past 24 plus hours with the shooting going on.
I'd really appreciate that.
It goes towards, you know, pushing a mission.
Obviously, doing this, Fed Reacts, I'm not getting paid to do this.
You guys give some donations here and there.
But, you know, to run this show is very expensive.
I mean, hell, just this studio alone, guys.
This is my second studio where I run FedReacts.
This in itself was a bunch of money.
And then obviously to do the main show where we had the main arena there outside is even more so.
So I really appreciate if you guys would support Cal's Club.tv.
We're going to do a Zoom call either tomorrow or sometime this week.
So we're giving a lot of value.
We've got a bunch of generals in different parts of the country.
So yeah.
And it would cause.
And those generals are in charge of running Telegram groups in different groups.
There's a lot of Reaction, if you will, at the RNC with Secret Service and others just because of that.
The special agent that was basically giving the press conference kept turning back to somebody behind her, and I kind of got the sense that person was probably the special agent in charge.
She was the ASAC that was actually working the national security special event.
That's just kind of what I gleaned from it.
I don't know.
See if we can get that.
That was earlier.
Yeah.
Let's see what the Secret Service has to say because they held a press conference on this before.
So let's see what they got to say.
So we're going to break down everything, guys.
So again, I'm the Secret Service, Secret Service's RNC coordinator, so I can speak to the RNC security planning.
I'd refer any questions regarding yesterday's incident to our DC public affairs office.
She ain't going to say shit about that.
Yes, ma'am.
Mark Meredith of Fox News.
Curious, obviously, you don't want to talk about what happened in Pennsylvania.
Have you had to change your security posture at all here?
And if so, how?
Is it a small percent change?
Is it looking at over everything once again?
And then a follow-up question would be: just in terms of resources, I know you mentioned 18 months has been going into this.
Do you feel like you had all the resources you needed to get to this point today, or do you feel like the work most of the time?
So as Mayor Johnson in chief mentioned, this is a national special security event.
That designation is the highest level of security designation that the federal government can determine.
So we are confident in these security plans that are in place for this event and we're ready to go.
It's been an 18-month process.
We've worked together over that 18 months to develop operational security plans for any and all aspects of security related to this event.
But did it change within the last 20 years and any change we made in the last 24 hours?
So they're asking if they changed anything in the past 24 hours given the fact that Trump was almost assassinated.
We're not anticipating any changes to our operational security plans for this event.
Thank you.
Great, Very Franklin, but we're in stress.
They're not going to, like, here's the thing, guys.
Obviously, they're going to be on higher alert, right?
She doesn't want to alarm them and say, oh, yeah, we made changes.
Like, no, like, we're sticking to what we got.
Doesn't want to look bad.
But they're absolutely going to be on way higher alert given the RNC tomorrow.
Okay.
Mary's been so with the Milwaukee Journal's council.
Discouraging governor Tony Evers told us a little bit ago that he is calling the Secret Service to ban firearms, guns, in the soft perimeter, not just in the high service forum.
Is that something that the Secret Service is considering or is doing?
I have not had any conversations regarding that, so I can't speak to that.
Okay, you said any request with the Secret Service.
Do you know if that request is actually made at this point?
I have not had any conversations regarding that, so I can't speak to that.
Is the Secret Service currently anticipating or currently planning to expand the perimeter?
We're not anticipating any changes to our current security footprint, including allowing firearms into the soft perimeter as it is right now.
Anything in the soft perimeter is outside of our federal jurisdiction.
Why should former President Trump, his family, and the convention goers have confidence in the U.S. Secret Service to secure this site here over the next four days?
Yo, the Secret Service, guys, just so you guys know, right, this is kind of funny to me because the Secret Service hasn't been under scrutiny like this since like the fucking 80s when they try to kill Reagan.
So you can see like just how uncomfortable and pissed off they are that they're even doing this press conference, bro.
Like this is not an agency that is used to getting up in front of the American public and talking about what they do.
Just so you guys know, the FBI is used to it, Homeland's used to it, DEA even, et cetera, because they're doing criminal cases all the time.
They're talking to public.
Secret Service does not get up there and talk to the general public like that, guys.
You can see how fucking uncomfortable they are during this.
Maybe it's just me because I can see it as a former agent myself, like how pissed off they are to even be here answering these fucking questions because they normally don't have to answer the American public like this.
After his life was nearly taken yesterday at last.
So this event has been designated as a national special security event, which is the highest level of security for an event that can be designated by the government.
So this is a whole of government approach.
We've had an extensive planning process to include many organizations building out the operational security plans for any and all aspects of security related to this event.
Have you had the resources you need?
Yes.
We are fully prepared and have a comprehensive security plan in place and we're ready to go.
She doesn't want to tell the truth that Secret Service has been suffering from attrition for a very long time and their agents always leave the agency because it has the highest divorce rate is one of the toughest 1811 jobs in the fucking country.
But I digress.
Anything in my question?
California regarding CBS News, why are you not expanding the perimeter?
So we're confident in the current plan that we have.
It is based off of technical assessments, protective intelligence, and we are continuously monitoring information related to the event.
So we're confident in the plans that we have, and we're moving forward with those plans.
And why are you not concerned that people can carry firearms within that soft prime?
So again, the Secret Service Inner Perimeter is our primary jurisdiction.
So I would defer any questions related to outside of that zone to my partners here on the stage.
See if any of them are going to talk.
So one of the things I've understood in regards to the inner perimeter, it's a large inner perimeter that has been part of the convention.
So this guy might be Secret Service Uniform Division, if I'm not mistaken.
Secret Service does have uniform division, guys.
I know you guys might not know that, but they have uniform division.
You see them mostly more by in Washington, D.C., by the White House.
To my understanding, maybe I have to get that clarified.
And so that is one important point to be able to understand in regards to what that level of security about what the inner perimeter looks like.
In regards to the ability to carry a firearm outside of the inner perimeter, again, our state law allows for the particular right to carry a firearm.
Or he might be Milwaukee Police Department as well.
It might be the chief or higher ranking officer in there.
Because that badge does look like it could pass this federal, but probably the chief of police or high-ranking for the locals.
City cannot legislate out of that.
And I don't know if our mayor wants to speak on that anymore in regards to that.
And so the chief of police, guys.
For we in regards to our law enforcement aspect, we have to operate within those guidelines.
Unless it's something that is against state law, we have to respect the Second Amendment right to carry your firearm, especially in regards to open carry or carrying concealed of your license.
And so that is a, you know, again, issue that we have to navigate.
And I will say this, and I've said this many times, as that is your right, please exercise your right in a responsible manner.
Please ensure that the behaviors that we would like to see for those with that responsibility aligns with that responsibility.
The Milwaukee Police Department would not tolerate any particular behaviors outside of what is legally allowed.
Confirm Milwaukee Police Department.
In regards to that right.
He's probably the chief.
Thank you, Chief.
And just to reiterate what the chief said, local ordinances in the state of Wisconsin do not supersede state law.
Wisconsin is an open carry state, and therefore the city of Milwaukee and no other jurisdiction in this state can supersede that state law.
Folks should be aware, though, that proactively before the convention gets started, we did take action at the local level to ban items that we could ban.
So we used our authority already at the municipal level to take that sort of security precaution that we were able to do.
But in terms of banning weapons in the outer perimeter, that is not within our purview because of state law.
Yeah, Dan Simmons at the New York Times for the Secret Service.
If there have been any changes to the overall security plan, have there been changes to the protection plan for the former president, his family, and other elected officials?
So I'm the Arms' Coordinator, so I can only speak to the National Special Security event.
the plans that we have in place.
It's like, don't say shit.
We'll continue as it is, and we're confident in those plans.
Megan, no, Matt, but...
Are there any new threats to...
This is probably the SAC, special agent in charge, and this is probably, like, maybe the publicist or something like that, which is pretty common, guys.
A lot of the times when you have like outreach people, et cetera, and federal law enforce agencies, a lot of times it'll be a female.
They do that on purpose, obviously, to be a little bit more inclusive.
Like our outreach people almost always were females when I worked at HSI.
Publicists, etc.
I don't even know what the fuck this reporter asked.
What the hell is she saying?
Where does this nigga come from?
Oh, shit.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm Michael Hensel.
I'm the special agent in charge of the FBI for the state of Wisconsin.
Okay, boom.
Okay, so he's a SAC of the FBI.
Probably out of Milwaukee.
Let me see here.
She just came out of nowhere.
Hello, what the hell?
FBI Milwaukee.
Boom.
Yep, here he is right here, Michael Hensley, special agent in charge.
So, yeah, so it is a SAC office, Milwaukee.
Which, okay, just so you give me ones in the chat if you guys want me to explain to you the difference between SAC offices and other types of offices and what that means specifically.
Give me ones if you guys want me to explain it.
Twos if you guys want me to just move on.
Because I have explained this plenty of times before, but I don't want to be redundant here.
So give me ones if you guys want me to explain.
two if you guys want me to just keep pushing i see the long time watchers are saying twos but i'm seeing a lot of ones as well All right.
So the special agent in charge or the SA or the SAC or the SAIC as the FBI calls it is typically the special agent in charge that runs a field office, guys.
And whenever you have a SAC office, that typically means that it's going to be a bigger office.
We're talking somewhere between 50 to 100 plus agents whenever it's a SAC office, right?
Or more, a couple hundreds of agents.
And within that SAC office, right, you got SAC for, so I'll give you an example, right?
So you go FBI San Antonio, right?
I'm very familiar with this office because I worked with FBI and San Antonio for a while, right?
So these are the satellite offices, right?
So their main office is San Antonio, but they have satellite offices which are called RAC offices or resident agent in charge offices in Austin, Brownsville, Del Rio, Laredo, McCallan, Waco, and each of them cover different counties and that's their AOR area of responsibility.
And then obviously the San Antonio office is the main field office and that is like the umbrella.
So think you've got the main umbrella office and then you have other offices underneath that are smaller in statue, such as but they all work under one big main field office.
Does that make sense, guys?
So this guy right here, right, is a special agent in charge of the Milwaukee field office.
And then all the little rack offices underneath in the state of Wisconsin fall under him.
Give me ones in the chat that it makes sense.
Give me twos if it doesn't make sense and tell me why.
Give me ones if that makes sense.
Give me twos if it doesn't make sense, guys.
And if it doesn't make sense, tell me specifically why.
Very first question.
The men and women in the FBI in the state of Wisconsin who work in our six offices along with the assistants that are 56 field offices across the United States.
So he said six offices.
So what does that mean?
That means that there's probably six RAC offices that he's responsible for that work under him.
So he's in a main office, a SAC office or the SAIC office, and then the RAC offices are underneath him.
Why is the SAC above Iraq?
Because Iraq is a regional office, guys.
It's like a smaller office, somewhere between 10 to 20, 30 agents, maybe 50 at the most, right?
But you're not typically not going to see Iraq that big.
But yeah, resident agent in charge.
United States and our domestic and international federal partners have worked over the last 18 months to take information and intelligence and evaluate that information and then disseminate it to both our state and local partners to address any threats.
Currently, there are no known articulated threats against the RNC or anyone visiting the RNC.
That's important because we also need the help of the public if they see something during this time or if you don't.
See how much better the FBI is at public speaking than the Secret Service?
I told y'all they're way better at this.
Why?
Because they're doing press conferences all the time because they're in the limelight and they have to, you know, talk about their cases, etc.
Secret Service, man.
Guys, you could go through your career as a Secret Service agent and never go to grand jury.
I'm going to say that again.
You can go through your career as a Secret Service agent 20 plus years and never testify fucking grand jury, guys.
That is wild.
Okay?
But that goes to tell you what I told you guys before.
Secret Service is not an investigatory agency.
All right.
They are a protection agency.
Two different things.
Same thing with Diplomatic Security Service, also a protection agency.
For the Secret Service, just to be clear, did you or did you not make changes to the security plan based on the events of yesterday?
There have been no changes to our current operation.
He asked if he made plans based on the, what happened before.
Social security plans for this event.
Why not give an effect from a president?
So look, so you got the chief of police here.
This looks to be probably the sheriff.
Because whenever you see a star badge like that, that typically means the sheriff's office.
So we know this guy's a SAC of FBI.
He's probably FBI too.
I'm assuming he's probably like second in charge.
He's probably an assistant special agent in charge, but we'll see exactly.
And then this guy has no idea what this dude is.
And then this dude is obviously, this guy I think is probably a SAC for Secret Service.
So again, this event is designated as a national special security event.
So it is a 18-month process that involves all levels of government that are contributing to the operational security plans for this event.
So we have an operational security plan that's built out for every area of responsibility related to any and all aspects of security related to this event.
Nick Waters with Liberal News.
So to the total estate official of the stage, have you made any changes to your plans for this event and bringing in intelligence gathering and anything else that's that level that happened as well?
How does this make a state for us?
I can just reiterate what I said before in terms of what the city of Milwaukee has done.
Our council, in conjunction with me, passed and signed a local ordinance to...
Hold on.
Hold on.
Okay, there we go.
He's the mayor of Milwaukee.
All right.
Make sure that there's more protection in the outer perimeter.
Like five foot three, man.
As it relates to officers from across the state of Wisconsin or elsewhere coming in to assist with the public safety around this, I defer to Chief.
No change.
So, sorry.
No change.
You said, make sure there's more protection in the outer perimeter.
So what does that look like on the ground?
I'm sorry?
What does that look like on the ground?
If Chief of Police has said there's no change, what does it look like on the ground if you say that for protection in the outer perimeter?
So the ordinance that I'm referring to that we have passed proactively at the local level, which is, by the way, the same ordinance, the same type of ordinance that we passed in preparation for the Democratic National Convention when it was to take place in Milwaukee in 2020 before becoming a mostly virtual event,
is an ordinance that does not allow individuals to bring in into the outer perimeter hard items like cans, like bottles that are filled, other hard objects that can be used as projectile weapons and things like that.
Tell me about something else here.
You said that there was no threats at the moment, no concerns, but I would imagine that was what Secret Service and law enforcement thought yesterday as well.
Are there changes to who you think or what you think threat actors are, and are there any worries how many chances?
So as I said, there's no specific articulated threat to the RNC or any specific individual attending.
As you'd expect, after the events yesterday, we've seen an uptick in social media chatter, people talking about what happened.
And we, as the lead for all intelligence matters related to the RNC, the FBI, we evaluate all of that to make sure that if it trends into criminal activity or threat-based information, we evaluate that and again disseminate it out to our federal and state partners for action.
All right.
And I'll just follow up on it.
So how are they state prepared with Fox in Milwaukee?
To, you know, we've heard from delegates, we've heard from visitors about a level of fear following what happened yesterday.
Beyond the fact that you guys have planned for this for 18 months, what's your message to them about safety and security?
So I'll take that on.
As we talk about these particular type of plans, especially in regards to what we've seen across the nation, what we're doing here, I don't know if we're comparing events in the same manner.
What we've seen in regards to the past are, again, rallies or town halls, they don't receive the same level of support this event receives.
And that's maybe hard to kind of wrap around in regards to the type of resources being invested in this particular community.
Again, we cannot talk about the operations of it, but as the leader in this community, I've seen the work.
We're working together again, not only from the standpoint of the federal level, but again, my local partners, and seeing that type of investment in regards to what is being done.
We are planning as much as we can plan in regards to what we know and we're looking for what we don't know, but we are planned and actually ready with the resources.
This is our community too.
And looking at it from the standpoint of, I want to make sure that they understand, we see you, we understand this is something of a concern, and we are ensuring that we're going to put the proper effort, the proper type of communication, which is why in this particular forum is why we're having it, to ensure that there's a communication from this collective group.
We're working as hard as we can around the clock, putting forth the effort that's necessary not only for this RNC, but for our city.
As the chief executive of our police department here, it's important that we are also understanding the concern in our city.
So this is for those who are attending the RNC, but we are taking care of this city.
Period.
Will you be doing daily updates or how are we going to have now, please?
Have you been able to talk with Director Cheadle?
Have you talked with Director Cheadle?
They're like, yeah, we're done, bro.
Why isn't she here?
Have you talked with Director Cheadle?
Why not?
Will there be daily updates?
How will we get information during the event?
Yeah, Cheetah ain't going to say shit.
Guys, next time Cheadle talks, they're going to put her.
She's going to probably be on the grill, and they're going to ask her questions under oath, guys.
So she's probably coordinating with her people of what she's going to say and stuff like that.
So, yeah.
But yeah, RNC is this Monday, guys.
I think I might go myself.
We might go out there on like Tuesday or something like that.
And just also, I do want to clear this up because a bunch of people were saying, like, oh, yeah, she was the.
Here, let's go back to, let's see here, Fox News.
There's nothing crazy.
We'll just get this thing going.
That he acted alone and that the public is in fact safe.
The investigation is ongoing and law enforcement will update you on the status of their investigation throughout the day.
Can you share any more about your communications with former President Donald Trump or his team?
I have not spoken directly to the former president.
I have wished him well.
I mean, multiple times last evening through statements Lori and I have.
The people of Pennsylvania, I know we're praying for him.
And again, according to his team and himself, it seems as though he will be fine, obviously, relatively speaking.
And we're glad to see that violence is never acceptable.
I should also let you know that I did speak to President Biden.
He called me last night to make sure that here in the Commonwealth we had all the resources we needed.
I assured him.
Okay, it looks like he's a politician of some kind, definitely not law enforcement.
We did.
At the time, he had yet to speak to President Trump.
I think they connected later in the evening and he wanted me to know that he was trying to reach out to the former president.
I think that that was the honorable and right thing to do and I'm glad that President Biden did that.
We have no unmet needs at this time and we're working in concert with our federal partners and I let the president know that.
Governor, have you talked to the families?
Okay, governor of Pennsylvania, probably governor of Pennsylvania.
Let's look this up real quick.
Here we go.
Yeah, Josh Sapiro.
Josh is an American politician attorney who has served as 40 of the governor of Pennsylvania since 2023.
Of those troops who were critically injured, and do you have an update on their condition?
I spoke to the family of one of them and the other left a detailed message and I'm not going to get into their status that'll be shared by the Pennsylvania State Police and or the family later today.
Governor, were you asking for a flag between two of the half-staffs across the state and also knowing that this is going to be a real contentious evening?
All the guys from Pennsylvania knew right away.
That's our governor.
I see you guys.
I'll see you guys.
What would your message?
I just missed the last part of what she said.
No problem.
But Thor talks about the flags a second, knowing that this is going to be even more contentious now in the state of Pennsylvania and that we're divided here.
What is your message to people who live here?
I have directed that flags be flown at half-staff in Corey's memory and our chief of staff is working through Corey is a firefighter that lost his life tragically yesterday guys.
That process now.
My message to all Pennsylvanians, my message to all Americans is to be firm in your beliefs, to believe what you believe, to advocate for what you believe, and to be engaged in the political and civic process, but to always do so peacefully.
To remember that while we may be Democrats and Republicans, above all else, we are Americans.
Very true.
And if you look at the story of this.
One nation under God, indivisible, my friends.
Don't forget that, guys.
We've been very divisive in this election year, but people tend to forget when you put your right hand over your chest and you pledge allegiance, one nation under God, indivisible.
Great nation with liberty and justice for all.
Don't forget that shit, guys.
For the last 248 years, a nation that was born right here in Pennsylvania, it's been ordinary Americans at every single step of the way, rising up, demanding more, seeking justice, advocating for change, and doing so peacefully.
And those who have advocated for such change peacefully, they have been the ones to bring that about.
We have to remember that even in these times where there are real divisions, that we have to address those divisions through engagement in the political and civic process in a peaceful manner.
That is incumbent upon all political leaders of all parties.
Real quick, I'll read some chats.
Chains of life says, hey, Marin, Destiny's having a meltdown on Twitter.
The ninja is completely unhinged.
Yeah, he's going crazy on Twitter.
I ain't going to lie.
He's going crazy on Twitter.
I'll read some of the Castle Club chats.
We got Tall Tim says, Myron, been ripping, archiving YouTube and lots of other stuff in case of media fuckery and takedowns.
Appreciate that, my friend.
We got here.
Myron, what are your thoughts on Destiny has been saying wild things?
He showed a picture of the bleachers where the person that's kids says, all I see is Biden of plus one in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, that's wild, bro.
He's spreading much hate towards people who likes Trump.
I guess he hates you too, then, since you're a Trump supporter.
He doesn't hate me, but yeah.
From Dan Bongino, looks like I got a tweet here.
One of you guys sent me a tweet from Bongino from Castle Club.
Oh, shit.
Okay, let's play this.
Looks like he was talking at the RNC.
And for you guys that are wondering, Dan Bongino is a former Secret Service agent himself.
He's been very critical of, also a fellow Rumble creator.
He's been very critical of Cheetah and the whole Secret Service administration right now.
Gross incompetence, or is it something even more scary that we can't even think about?
No, it's gross incompetence.
I mean, how do you let, I mean, think about it, right?
The counter sniper team, they train out the Secret Service counter sniper team, obviously, that are mitigated sniper threat.
They train out to a thousand yards.
So we're talking about, say, it was 200 yards.
It was actually less than that where this guy shooter was, right?
And shout out to you, Uncle Luke.
Says, do you believe this Inside Job Secret Service dropped the bomb on those ones?
Also, I believe this guy is being arrested Republican is to hide all the fact he's a demo along, potentially.
Yeah, and guys, just so you know, right now, a reserve, I don't know if this, I don't think it's inside jobs so far with the facts present.
I think this is just incompetence, really bad incompetence, and lack of security staff for Secret Service.
And obviously, a former president isn't going to have the same security detail as the sitting president of the United States.
You're talking about a fraction of what they're trained at.
They're also trained to spot guys in ghillie suits, cracked open windows.
He's on a white roof in broad daylight.
He's on a white roof.
No, again, it'd be easy for me to say, oh, well, let's not get into Monday morning quarterback.
Bro, it's not a freaking football game.
It's the president of the United States' life.
The Secret Service has one job.
Well, outside of counterfeiting and protection, it is one job.
Yes, yeah, this is their main job.
He's cracked.
You keep the body alive no matter what.
I mean, they came within a millimeter of this guy losing his life.
I don't understand some of the commentary that's, you know, oh, you know, they did a great job.
Well, the body guys, that response was, I mean, brave.
You don't, you know, they ran up there.
They didn't know there could have been 10 more shooters.
No doubt.
Know those guys.
Pretty heroic what happened there.
But the security failure in the perimeter is a complete, total debacle.
No one should defend this.
So when you have guys, we just played the sound.
When you have fans saying, hey, there's a guy with a gun over there to multiple law enforcement guys, and they still are just looking around like this and know what, how does that happen?
Well, I'll tell you, I'm getting from a number of sources that people are feeding to me their information, obviously, because they want to fix it.
They're concerned that I think you're going to see a lot of whistleblowers.
I'm hearing there were very few.
I don't want to give an exact number, but very few actual, I don't think anyone else has reported this, actual Secret Service poststanders at that site that they were Temp HSI, a homeland security.
There you go.
I told you guys.
Folks, which are, they're great folks.
I'm not knocking them, but that's not what they do.
That's not what we fucking do.
Let's go.
Someone say it.
Dumb the monkeys.
There was HSI guys there.
We don't fucking do that shit, man.
We investigate crimes.
We don't do protection details.
Completely different mission.
I don't fucking miss, guys.
What do I tell y'all?
Nobody on the internet knows this shit better than me.
I've been right about everything when it comes to this goddamn assassination attempt because this is my bread and butter, guys.
Okay.
When it comes to federal law enforcement, I know how every agency works intimately.
Pause because I've worked with almost every agency you guys could think of, from Fish and Fucking Wildlife to OSI to Army CID to Secret Service to FBI.
Hell, one of my good friends I was on the phone with him earlier today, guys, is a fucking FBI agent, man.
Shout out to him.
I've known him since 20.
I've known him since 2015, man.
That FBI guy.
We were in Texas together.
Right now, as we talk, I'm talking to one of my HSI buddies that I was good friends with.
So, hey, man, we out here, man.
Best commentary on this stuff on the internet when it comes to law enforcement, et cetera.
Someone says, stop being cocky, Mark.
Hey, man, I'll be cocky, bro.
When you put in as much work as I have with this shit, guys, this knowledge that I have, this came from years and years and years of doing cases, being out in the field.
For all the idiots out there, they always say, Maybe you were a desk agent.
No, the fuck I wasn't.
You don't get this fucking award right here.
Okay?
This is the ICE U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Just so you guys know, right?
Literally, this award right here, all right, is a director's award.
You don't get this unless you've done big shit.
I had one of the, I had one of the top cases in the country before I left the agency in 2020, a national security case, which I will tell you guys about one day.
It was a really fucking crazy case.
I got footage of myself arresting a guy at the airport and everything.
I don't know when I'm going to put that out, but I will put it out for you guys eventually.
But, bro, I've like, I'm really out here, guys.
I was really doing real shit.
I've done OSIDEV cases.
I've done Title III intercepts.
I've done, you know, national security cases with espionage.
All that shit I've done, man.
Gang cases, RICOs, all that, man.
So, yeah.
Specifically, we do protection and we're trained for that.
So, I'm hearing that.
I'm also hearing that the counter, the counter-sniper team, that they had a problem seeing over the elevation.
That's why I didn't engage right away.
Oh, come on.
But, but that's not the problem.
The problem, well, it's the problem, but that's not the real.
The problem is, where the hell was the aerial visual support?
Why was there no helicopter?
Why was there no drone?
Why was there no FLIR?
Why was there no thermal forward-looking infrared?
How the hell is the crowd acting as the freaking counter-surveillance officer?
If that's the best asset you have is random Trump supporters telling police that there's a guy with a gun, what technology are they deploying?
They're bragging about they have all this new technology.
I didn't see it.
Tell me about when they rush them over to the van, I guess, the vehicle.
It seemed like some of the Secret Service agents, I just don't know if they had the stature that I would expect to see and the gravitas that I would expect to see protecting the former president.
Well, the rule is maximum to the protectee, minimum to the problem, right?
Because you don't know how many problems there are.
So, if you try to rush to one problem, like the Malcolm X shooting, and there's another problem over there, you're going to wind up getting dead quick.
So, they did the right thing by rushing to the protectee on the evac out.
Yeah, you do see a couple of agents who one couldn't re-holster the weapon and things like this.
Oh, yeah, the female agent.
Yeah, definitely.
The other one was like five foot four.
Yeah, I mean, you're going to find out in the coming weeks that the physical fitness standards for men and women are different.
That's weird because the protectee's weight and height doesn't change for a man or a woman.
Let's go.
One standard, baby.
Let's fire.
Dom de Monko.
Does Cheeto get fired anytime soon?
She needs to go immediately.
She has disgraced the Secret Service multiple times.
She needs to go.
She needs to be fired.
ASAP, but Maorcus doesn't have.
Cheetah is a current sitting director of the Secret Service background.
Her guy, she started with the Secret Service in 1995, worked for 20 plus years, left to go to the private sector, worked for PepsiCo doing their security, then came back after she was presidentially appointed to be director of the Secret Service.
So, you know, and it's common, guys, to leave the government and then go into private sector and make a lot more money than come back in like she did.
Have the Cojones to do it.
Biden should do it.
Leapfrog Majorkis and terminate.
Zero, zero chance.
She's got to go.
Well, he never fired anybody over any service director.
Marikus is the director of Homeland Security, which falls under, which is above Secret Service.
Director is.
There's zero chance.
Like he fires her.
No way.
All right.
Dan Bongino, thanks so much for coming on Jesse Waters Prime Time.
Keep talking to your sources.
All right.
All right.
So that was Bongino's take on it.
Very accurate.
He's a former Secret Service agent.
See who he gets it.
Me and him fucking get it.
Let's go.
We got another chat.
Taught him.
Laura Lumer has ex-post footage of Leo's and how they didn't remove the president right away.
Let's see here.
Yo, this is all coming from Castle Club, by the way, guys.
Castle Club is, you guys are here.
This is from Laura Loomer here.
Shout out to Laura Loomer.
This is the video she posted.
On top of the roof.
Look.
Here he is right there.
Right there.
See him?
He's laying down.
See him?
Yeah, he's laying down.
And Scott, here we're being fighting like hell to get a sentence.
What's happening?
Because if we do, we're going to make him a better people.
We're going to take it.
Yeah, look.
There he is.
Because we have millions and mid-people in our country that shouldn't be here.
Dangerous people.
Criminals.
Wow.
We have criminals.
Okay, he was probably nervous as hell, bro.
He was probably nervous as hell.
Oh, shit, they got me.
That's why he missed those shots.
Someone sent me this as well from Sandwich Chief.
Let me see if I could pull this up.
You guys, yo, I love Castle Club, man.
You guys are fucking geez, bro.
Done to Marco for Castle Club.
What I'm showing you guys right now is from Castle Club, guys.
All right.
Let me go ahead and show this to you guys right now.
This comes from Castle Club here.
This is from one of the supporters.
They wouldn't let me take out.
My name is Jonathan Willis.
I'm the officer in the famous vote of the two snipers on roof at Trump's rally.
I came here to inform the public that I had to assassinate my sites for at least three minutes, but the head of Secret Service refused to give the order to take out the perp 100%.
The top brass prevented me from killing the assassin before he took the shots at President Trump.
I didn't follow orders, though.
As soon as the shooter opened on Trump, I returned fire despite strict orders to not engage.
I had eyes on the shooter for three minutes, watching him fiddle with his rifle and adjust the scope.
It was obvious he was a shooter, yet I wasn't allowed to engage.
After I killed the shooter, I was arrested, questioned by the FBI, and just released an hour ago.
Already lost my job for now, following orders, but I'm glad I took the shots anyway.
This might be a troll, guys.
This might be some anon type shit.
But, you know, either way, still good to see.
You know what I mean?
So that we can go ahead and have more information in front of us.
But shout out to all you ninjas on Castle Club.
Let me see here if I could read the chat some more.
I can't pull the full thing on here because you guys be wanting out in Castle Club, bro.
You guys be putting the guys, they put crazy memes in here and shit.
We'll get this channel taken down.
But it's fucking hilarious because we go to Castle Club.
We let it unleash.
We run that chat and you can see it on the screen.
And it is hilarious, man.
Hilarious, hilarious.
God says, when I saw Trump taking off, my first thought was, what does this bitch do it?
Yeah, that's from guys.
Tall Tim, that's from the Laura Loomer post.
Cool, cool.
I think I caught up.
Chris Pent, thanks, God.
He's alive.
Thank you, guys.
Smoking that crook pack.
You guys are funny, bro.
See, they just post shit like this.
Like, someone said, post smoke in that crook pack.
They posted this shit, man.
Oh, man.
Okay.
Okay, so let me answer the question that came in earlier.
HSI versus FBI job quality.
So, okay.
It depends on what you want to do, guys.
So if you want to do counterterrorism, you want to do bank robberies, you want to do cases like that, FBI is definitely great to do.
The FBI is a bigger agency.
They get more support.
And there's more career paths that you can go with.
HSI is great because you get to investigate a bunch of different crimes as well.
The only thing that I would say that sucks about HSI compared to FBI is that if you come on HSI guys, there's a high likelihood that you're going to have to go to the border as your first duty station.
That's the main thing that sucks.
But if you can somehow negotiate not going to the southwest border, it might be a better gig than even the FBI.
But both fantastic.
I think, honestly, the FBI and HSI are the two best agencies to work for by far incumbent upon the public.
I will tell you that notwithstanding the tragedy that we saw last night here in Butler, the awful chat.
Hey guys, if you want to get your chats read and obviously get prioritized, et cetera, and funny stuff, guys, join Castle Club.
It helps us.
It helps you as well.
We give you guys Zoom calls.
We have chapters all over the country in the world right now, a bunch of different major cities with generals that run Telegram chats, et cetera.
We're going to be doing meetups, et cetera.
So join Castle Club, guys.
It's a fucking huge community over there.
We got 7,100 plus guys in there.
Fucking, we're trying to get to 10K strong.
You support me.
You rock with Fresh and Fit.
You rock with Fed Reacts.
You want to support this type of work?
Free speech, etc., because we're probably not going to get remonetized on YouTube because they're literally putting us up their huge microscope.
Guys, support us on Calcutta Club, man.
That is how we continue to fight the fight for free speech.
Absolutely.
That every day when I'm around Pennsylvania, I see the very best in Pennsylvania.
People who do have fervent beliefs, people who do have passionate beliefs, but who engage in a peaceful manner and who love their neighbors and who engage with people in their communities, even those that they might have differences from.
We need to learn from our history in this Commonwealth and in this country, and we need to bring our better angels forward and carry that forward into this political season.
I'll take one more.
Expand on the situation of what this department worries about.
Say, this is standing behind President Trump.
You said he built in front of his family.
Is there any more detail you can learn?
His wife shared with me that he dove on his family to protect them.
As for any other information, that'll be shared by law enforcement.
Thank you all very much.
That was an update from Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
I hit a ball to him, and right after that, a sound went off.
And much like a lot of people say, they thought it was a car backfiring, but then shots started ringing out, and we all went immediately to a place we could find safety.
In my case, it was a dive in the first base dugout that was a real dugout that was about six foot deep in the ground.
And I dove into it like a swimming pool with no water to get protection.
And I got wounded in the leg from shrapnel.
It's crazy.
You guys really got an old-ass picture of me.
Guys, look at this.
This is me.
Look, you guys want to see a young Myron?
I don't even know how the hell y'all found this.
This is an old picture of me when I was a rower in college, guys.
Holy shit.
Wow.
That's me at approximately.
How old was I in this?
I was probably around 21 in this picture.
21?
Yeah.
2021.
Yeah, that's crazy.
That was me at a, at a, at a, uh, that was me at a, what was that?
I was at a Crash B's event and I had that picture.
I was there supporting one of my buddies telling him, hey, I was coaching him through the fucking 2K test that he was doing.
So, yeah, that was me way back in the fucking day.
I got a fucking pimple here.
You guys can see.
I got my Polar Watch, my Livestrong bands.
I still like Lance Armstrong.
Fuck the haters.
And we were in there about 10 minutes.
Damn.
Cam Tutaz got the old picture.
The Arlington police came and, of course, killed the perpetrator.
But there again, it was after they killed him.
They found out he wanted to kill Republicans.
He had names of people he wanted to kill.
And it was the same kind of personality we have now, very hate, driven by hate and anger.
And, you know, and people will say, well, did you bring a comeback moment back to Congress after the baseball shooting?
I said, absolutely not.
Last about two days, we were back to where we were.
And I'm not so sure that right now, this event with President Trump is not going to do the same thing.
People are, certain people are worried about him as they should be, but those that see it a different way are going to be driven by hate and anger again.
Zion Lamoud and Castle Club, bro, I can't pull up your chats because you're saying a bunch of wild stuff, bro.
But they're funny, though.
I'm laughing at them.
I see what you said.
But yeah, that's why I haven't been able to show your stuff, dude.
And here we go.
So it's an interesting time we're in, but it's one we've got to fix somehow.
As a Republican congressman, what does it mean to you to see how quickly the Democrats, Republicans, everyone, independents came together to condemn the violence and post on social media, put out statements?
What does that say to you?
And what does it mean to you?
Well, what it says is people probably do care.
Nobody.
Oh, someone asked a good question here.
This is from Chains of Life says, hey, Ryan, have you saw Dom Lucer tweet?
It's four hours ago about how the FBI is investigating Donald Trump rally's domestic terrorism.
Yes, good question.
They are investigating it as a domestic terrorism case, guys.
I think it's because they found bombs in his or bomb-making material in his car.
They might have also come across a manifesto, guys.
We don't know.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they came across the manifesto.
And on top of that, you added explosive devices.
Yeah, definitely going to constitute domestic terrorism, which is FBI's elite on.
He wants to see what we saw yesterday.
I know who this old nigga is yapping in this country.
I see here.
So there were some really good statements.
I saw some pretty bad statements, too, which again.
I hate to be on ABC News right now.
They're trash, but from ABC News.
I've already heard from Republicans who have said that an unspoken theme of this convention is going to be defiance in the wake of this attack.
The former president, as you and I have been discussing, putting his fist up, demonstrating to his supporters just moments after he was shot that he was okay.
That is expected to be a de facto theme of this convention, if not fully enacted as a theme.
We're not quite sure how it shakes out yet.
And the other thing I'll tell you is that the other question hanging over all of this is: how does this message of bringing down the temperature in this country resonate here?
Does it make its way into the speeches that will be delivered on the stage behind me?
I already know, as you and I have talked to, talked about that.
I've spoken with Republican officials who are frantically trying to rewrite their speeches at this hour.
It's unclear if those changes will be accepted by the RNC because every word that's said on that stage has to be vetted by the RNC, but they're frantically trying to rewrite their speeches.
The question is: what will they say about this?
And will they too try to bring the temperature down?
It would be very interesting to see those rewrites, and we will presumably hear many of them in the coming days.
Jay O'Brien, our thanks to you and to our viewers.
Thank you so much for streaming with us.
I'm Lindsay Davis, ABC News Live.
We'll have more coverage on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
And be sure to tune in for our ABC News special Trump assassination attempt minute by minute.
Stay with us.
All right.
We'll go back to Fox News.
And if nothing there, we'll close this bad boy out, guys, because we covered pretty much everything.
What's this?
The people here that are coming need to solidify themselves in the American way and not challenge it and reap the benefits of the American dream, which is probably under attack right now.
So I would hope people would say, I'm going to get involved.
I'm going to do what I can.
I'm going to help people get involved.
And I'm going to make sure that this country continues to be the greatest in the world.
Because at the end of the day, a country is only good as people.
A country is only good as the rules that it has.
And the rules and the laws are to be followed by the people.
Select good leadership that represents you and be involved and have a smile on your face.
All right.
Congressman Roger Williams, thank you so much for taking the time to join us and discuss this a little bit further.
Is there anything else that you want to add about any of this before I let you go?
Well, I just want to, I think we all should pray for President Trump, his quick recovery, and pray for President Biden also that he can continue his campaign and will and let the people hear the difference between the two, where they want to take the country and do it with an open mind and not a hateful mind and keep America great, keep America the best.
Because I'll tell you, at the end of the day, our enemies are watching everything that's going on in this country right now.
They definitely are.
They see hate and anger, and that's not a winning combination.
We're the greatest country in the world.
We can get back on the right track real quick and we should try to do it.
Everyone should chip in and say, I'm going to do what I can to make this country the best it can be.
Great words there.
Congressman, thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us.
Thank you.
God bless.
All right.
Let's see here.
All right, commercial break.
I think we'll end it there, guys.
So we know who the shooter is now.
We went over that.
We went over the Secret Service Press conference.
Obviously, the RNC is tomorrow going to be huge.
I'm thinking tomorrow, guys, we're going to do Monday Monday, have Zirka and the squad on tomorrow with Hinkle, et cetera, talk about, you know, cover the news.
And then I might go out for the RNC on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I think Trump talks on Thursday.
Chat, please let me know.
Let me see if I could even pull up the RNC schedule here.
currency 2024 schedule.
All right.
So, so Monday starts at 10 AM.
Boom.
This is like the schedule.
They end at midnight.
Then Tuesday.
So yeah, it looks like this is, and I'll go through this and I'll figure it out, but I think it goes until Thursday, if I'm not mistaken.
Yep, it goes until Thursday.
All right.
Cool.
But anyway, guys, hope you guys enjoyed the show today, man.
Obviously, we covered a bunch of different things.
We covered the shooter's background, et cetera.
Went over the Secret Service Press, Biden's address of the nation.
It's now officially a domestic terrorism case.
We know who the shooter is.
We know how they identified him.
We know about the rifle.
We know about how Secret Service kind of dropped the ball in this situation.
But other than that, guys, love you, Ninjas.
I'm going to go ahead and, yeah, no after hours tomorrow, guys.
We're going to have a four-man stream, I think, with a squad, if I'm not mistaken.
I made a chat with Hinkle and all these guys.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get them in there and we'll have a base conversation.
But yeah, it's going to be a good time, guys.
So, anyway, guys.
Whitler's asked when we're bringing back Exodia.
Soon, my friend.
Soon, Whitler.
We're going to bring back Exodia.
For some of you guys that know who I'm talking about, you guys know who Exodia is.
Martin, is there any communication between Secret Service, local law enforcement, or protection detail?
Of course.
But the communication absolutely broke down, guys.
They failed there.
The communication definitely broke down.
So that's the problem there.
That's definitely the problem.
But yeah.
With that said, guys, I'm going to end the stream there.
Love you, ninjas.
I'll be back tomorrow for Money Monday.
We're probably going to go ahead and cover.
You guys have been asking about credit stuff, so we'll cover that for you guys tomorrow.
And then we're going to go ahead and we're going to go ahead.
I'm sorry, guys, I barely slept.
I've literally took an hour nap and came back and did this because I've been up all day covering this thing.
We're going to do Money Monday, and then we're going to go ahead and give you guys the podcast at night.
No after hours, it's going to be a discussion with the bros where we cover the news, guys.
We're going to cover the news.
We're going to cover a bunch of the stories that hit the news to include this, of course, give updates.
And it's going to be a good time.
Love you guys.
Catch you guys tomorrow, 7:30 p.m.
Money Monday.
Peace.
As I try to find the goddamn button here.
All right, later, guys.
I'm special agent with Homeland Sports Games, okay, guys?
HSI.
This is what FedReacts covers.
