They can't stop us.
Haters going to hate, but we are here.
Obviously, we're going a little bit earlier than usual, guys, because this is breaking news.
It's a very important topic.
As you guys know, there was a second attempt on former President Donald Trump again here in Florida, up in West Palm Beach, which is about hour to 90 minutes or so away.
It's about 60 miles, not too far from Miami.
Xander Navarro says, Hey, Marin, Ant advice on masking on small business, small business for me when had a stroke of 14, currently 18.
Bro, I don't know what you're saying.
Guys, please like double check your spell check your chats when you send them in so I can read them quickly and efficiently, so I can like ask your guys questions, answer your guys' questions.
But yeah, we're back on all the platforms, guys.
We are everywhere.
All right, so kind of let's just get right into it, man.
So here we got, so this is from the New York Post.
Would-be Trump assassin ID'd as Ryan Ruth, 58 of Hawaii's sources say.
Okay, and this was published about 45 minutes ago.
Ryan Wesley Ruth, 58, has been identified as a suspect who was arrested after allegedly pointing an AK-47 assault rifle at former President Trump while he golfed, according to law enforcement sources.
Ruth frequently touted his do-gooder credentials and championed left-wing causes on social media.
You guys can see, obviously, the law enforcement presence.
His LinkedIn showed that he attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, but relocated to Hawaii sometime around 2018.
Ruth describes on LinkedIn as mechanically minded and enjoying ideas and invention and creative projects with artistic flair.
Ruth was spotted by Secret Service agents near the Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach, with an AK-47, according to sources.
The agents opened fire on him, but he fled.
Ruth was later arrested on I-95 by local police.
So just so you guys know, I-95 goes from Miami, actually starts down here in Miami Coral Gables area.
It goes all the way up to Vermont.
And it does go through West Palm Beach, which is where the president lives with Mar-a-Lago.
Ruth is the owner, the owner of Camp Box Honolulu, a shed building company with few positive reviews.
While Ruth hadn't posted on his exit count in a year, he frequently criticized politicians, including Trump, current President Joe Biden, and celebrities like Bruno Mars.
So he was stopped right here.
And Trump's West Palm Beach golf course is here.
So let's see if we can enlarge this thing.
No?
God damn it.
No, we can't.
But you guys can see here.
Let me see if I can.
95 is right here, guys.
This line right here.
This is all 95, right?
So this is where the shooting happened.
And they caught him a few miles up.
Okay.
And this is what he had.
Would-be assassin S where authorities found a rifle, backpack, and GoPro camera, right?
So the guy was trying to go viral, clearly, right?
And then the would-be assassin will stop at I-95, Martin County Sheriff's Office, right?
And you can see here, this is more northern Florida.
Well, the tip of southern Florida, right?
You're starting to get into northern Florida territory.
This is what you got here.
Many of his replies are nonsensical, including one directed towards ex-owner Elon Musk, in which he seemed to entertain purchasing a rocket from the billionaire.
I would like to buy a rocket from you.
I wish to load it with a warhead for Putin's Black Sea Mansion bunker to end him.
Can you give me a price, please?
It can be old and used as not returning.
Ruth wrote.
This dude's crazy.
Clear this guy's off his fucking rocker.
Okay?
Ruth was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley, not surprised, the Warhawk.
According to one of his posts in which he encouraged the Republican presidential candidates to continue their races, you cannot quit.
Why?
You must stay on the ballot to the end.
You must fight.
You must continue giving speeches and push all the way to election day, no matter the election results.
Do not give in.
Join Nikki and keep working.
Never give up.
He wrote.
Yeah, this guy's a Nikki Haley supporter.
You could tell where he's fucking.
Stupid.
Ruth is also a staunch supporter of Ukraine and Taiwan and their respective conflicts against Russia and China.
He claims on X that he tried to sell the idea of having former Afghanistan troopers fight for Ukraine and Russia, but was denied multiple times before giving up after six months.
He also visited Kiev and claimed that he would be willing to fight on the front lines if he were permitted to.
This is a breaking story.
Please check back for Robin Tate.
So we'll keep refreshing this, guys.
Here's his X account, right?
The guy is clearly killed.
Hashtag killed, killed anywhere is extremely tragic.
This guy's off his rocker, right?
So this was a press conference by law enforcement, right, after the shooting.
This went down maybe an hour ago or so.
And here's from Laura Loomer.
She's actually there right now as we speak in the area.
Man who tried to assassinate President Trump identified as Ryan Ruth, an avid Biden-Harris supporter who called Donald Trump a threat to democracy.
Fox News reporting that the man who was arrested today with a GoPro, a backpack, an AK-47, what the FBI is calling an attempted assassination of President Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club is Ryan Ruth.
I've been screen recording in social media.
He is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' supporter who posted their claims that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
He also said, let me enlarge this for y'all real quick.
He also said he has been to Ukraine to fight the war.
He also posted I have thousands of Afghan soldiers that wish to serve for Haiti national police at cheap wages.
What a weirdo.
After the first assassination attempt of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Ruth posted a tweet to Joe Biden on X telling him that he should go to the funeral at Corey Competor as the firefighter who was tragically shot and killed at the rally because that's what real leaders do.
And Trump certainly never would.
As you guys remember, back in July 13th, earlier this year, we saw Corey Competour was fatally shot by the shooter.
Oh my God, his name is escaping me right now.
Krutzer, somebody in the chat.
I can't believe I forgot his name already.
But Cooks, Matthew Crooks, excuse me.
Excuse me for that.
Matthew Crooks obviously shot, missed the president, and hit Corey as he was trying to shield his family.
You know, firefighter, rest in peace to him.
Trump actually, a couple of days later at the RNC, had his firefighter uniform there to commemorate him, which I thought was an awesome ceremony.
And that was in Milwaukee a couple months back.
The man who tried to take Trump's life today was radicalized by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the Democrats, and their claims that President Trump is a threat to democracy.
And here you can see Laura has some of his tweets, right?
POTIS, your campaign should be called something like K-A-D-F.
Keep America Democratic and Free.
Trump should be MASA.
Make America slaves again, master.
Democracy is on the ballot and we cannot lose.
We cannot afford to fail.
The world is counting on us to show that way.
This was April 22nd of this year.
Then he comments on three days after the assassination attempt.
Joe Biden, you should visit the victims in the hospital of the Trump rally victims and attend the funeral of the firemen to die.
Trump certainly never would.
Show the world what real leaders do.
Then, this was in 2022, a little over two years ago.
I'm willing to fly to Ukraine and die for its people and everyone around the globe should do the same.
Come on, people.
And this was right after the invasion, as you guys can see here, February 2020, 2022.
That's when Russia invaded.
And that's him after he was captured, it looks like, earlier today.
And then here's his actual Twitter account.
I feel lucky to have been born in America with freedom and opportunity and hope that I do not waste such a valuable thing to do more and take less.
And the last time he tweeted, guys, was at least that we can see here.
Might have deleted his earlier tweets.
Was 2023.
At least what's visible.
Let's click here, replies.
Yeah, okay, so July 17th.
Kamala Joe Biden should visit injured people.
Boom.
Drop his number in here?
This is a weirdo.
And then he responds to Bruno of Mars.
We're trying to save the haiku stairs.
Bruno helped with the nanatorium, and we need this help now to save this.
So it looks like this is his phone number here, more than likely.
Yeah.
To save this World War II landmark for our kids, please help.
Aid in Ukraine, court grant our injunction.
Please do a Trailhead ASAP.
Okay, that's interesting.
This is very, very interesting.
And we got, let's see here.
We got 1,400 of you guys watching on Fresh and Fit.
And we got another.
Oh, wow.
Fresh and Fit.
And then on, yeah, so it's literally split down the middle.
1,400 of you guys watching on FedReacts.
And then almost 5K on you guys over here.
So what I'm going to do, guys, I'm probably going to end the Fresh and Fit stream here soon.
And I'm going to bring you guys over to FedReacts.
And we'll finish this thing over on Rumble and YouTube.
And obviously, we're on Twitch as well.
Which, by the way, if you guys don't mind, real quick, I'm trying to grow the Twitch.
If you guys can open up another tab on Twitch, twitch.tv/slash Fresh and Fit.
I'll drop the link for you guys here in the chat.
If you guys really want to support, everyone was trying to say that, oh, yeah, you guys are going to get banned.
Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And they were like praying on our downfall.
It's actually incredible how many people want us to like get banned.
It's actually pretty sick.
But I'll pin it here, if you guys don't mind supporting.
And we're going to probably do a sub-a-thon for you guys as well on Twitch.
This Tuesday is what I'm thinking.
So I pinned the chat.
I pinned it for you guys there.
All right, put it in the chat on FedReacts.
Yeah, so open up a tab, watch on Twitch as well.
Trying to grow that thing up.
So let's see here.
Let's go back to.
So let's go ahead and we're going through some of his tweets here.
Yeah, you guys can see this dude's office rockers.
We must remove Rick from office.
I'm thinking we can get Kirk Caldwell to join to make a team to win the mayor's seat.
Please reach out to me.
Dude puts his number in there and then aid in Ukraine is his email.
Who's Keith and Minya?
Who is this guy?
Senior Vice President, Central Pacific Bank, President of Downtown Athletic Club of Hawaii, chair, governor sports task force.
Okay.
Strange.
Okay, President of the United States.
Your campaign should be called something like CATF.
Okay, we read this one before.
Hunter Biden's son, right?
And he goes, they cannot convict Hunter Biden as the question on the application has no timeframe.
User added in the last 10 minutes, decade, life, when?
So any pot user, any moment in life cannot buy a gun.
That solves our gun control problem right there.
No one can.
So this right here, guys, is in response clearly to when Hunter Biden got convicted.
As you guys know, he lied on his ATF form.
Because when you buy a gun, guys, they ask you this question.
They ask you the question: are you a drug user?
Are you under indictment, et cetera?
And he said that he wasn't a drug user at the time, which clearly was a lie because he was a prohibited person.
So if you're a prohibited person, guys, you can't have a gun, can't have a gun, then you violate 18 USC 922, which basically, right?
Unlawful acts, right?
So unlawful.
So you can see all the different ways that you are inadmissible.
922.
Okay.
Okay, so under 18 state, violation of state law doesn't reside.
Let me see here.
Control F drug.
Okay, it's 922G.
Either way, you guys know what it is.
You can't be a drug user and have a gun, right?
So when he purchased the gun, he lied, right, on the form, the ATF form, this one right here, ATF form 4473, right?
Firearms transaction record.
And it says right here.
See, like these are all the different ones, right?
So when you fill out this form, this is when you purchase a firearm in the United States, right?
This ATF form.
Are you under indictment?
Have you ever been convicted any court of a felony or including a military court?
Are you fugitive from justice?
Are you, here we go?
Are you an unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any depressant stimulant or cardiac drug or any controlled substance?
To this, he said no, when he really was using drugs.
So boom, right off that, he's a prohibited person.
He can't have a firearm.
So that's what this dude is referring to here.
Okay.
He's saying that, look, this isn't descriptive enough, right?
But are you an unlawful user or addicted to manual, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But, yeah.
And then, let's see here.
Yeah, this guy's off his rocker, man.
W. Myron, Zach Apotheker here, the Border Patrol agent.
Maybe the chat wants another current Fed's reaction on the stream before they try to fire me.
Guys, this man paid out of pocket for two separate attorneys.
He's one of one.
Great work, Myron United States.
Thank you so much, Zach.
I appreciate that.
Don't.
You didn't have to say that, but yeah, I mean, obviously, as you guys know, I had Zach on the show.
We talked about what's going on in the border.
And after the discussion, I was obviously very fearful for him.
So I said, you know what, dude, we got to get you some representation.
And, you know, I went ahead and I didn't think he was going to put out publicly like that.
But yeah, I paid to get him some lawyers.
Definitely, I want him to be able to protect himself and be in a position where he could defend himself.
Because, I mean, at this point, you know, there's going to 100% be an internal investigation from, you know, CBP Internal Affairs and maybe even OIG or whatever.
So I want him to be able to defend himself and be able to be in a position where they don't try to destroy this man's career because all he did was come out and tell the truth.
And there are whistleblower laws out there to protect employees like this.
So he shouldn't lose his job.
I hope he doesn't lose his job.
And, you know, I'm going to do my part to make sure that he has adequate representation to be protected.
Zach, you didn't have to say that, dude.
I didn't want to make that public, but thank you so much for putting it out there.
Yeah, I did cover his lawyers, guys, because that's important.
So he's an American patriot, so I stand by him.
Anyway, thank you so much for that, Zach.
You really didn't have to.
Let's see here.
Okay, so guys, this is what we're going to do.
Come on over to FedReacts.
We're going to do this stream on FedReacts and on.
Let me look here.
I think we're on Fresh and Fit on Rumble.
And I don't think we're on.
I don't think we're live on the Fed reacts on Rumble, which is fine.
Yeah, we're not.
We're only live on Fresh and Fit.
That's cool.
I don't care.
This is about getting the information out, not necessarily about getting the most views and shit.
So yeah, guys, come on over to come on over to.
I'm going to drop the link for you, Ninjas right now to FedReacts.
We got 1,600 on FedReacts and 1,200 on YouTube on Fresh and Fit.
So here is the – sorry, give me one sec, guys.
I'm just opening this thing real fast for y'all ninjas.
I got so many tabs open right now.
Holy.
Oh, no, wrong one.
This is.
Yeah.
So there's the link, guys, for you ninjas.
Jump on in.
That's for FedReacts.
I'm going to go ahead and end the Fresh and Fit one here.
So guys, please come on over.
Please come on over.
We are live on FedReacts.
Come on over, drop the link in there.
Thank you, Blackest Panther, for spamming the link in there as well, my friend.
I appreciate that greatly and make this switch here.
All right.
Come on over, guys.
All right.
So let me go ahead and close the.
We're going to close the Fresh and Fit stream here on YouTube.
We're going to stay live on Rumble, Twitch, and YouTube FedReacts channel.
Come on over, guys.
Come on over.
All right.
Cool.
So that ends that one.
Sweet.
Let me close this thing.
Sorry, guys.
I got a million tabs right now.
We got a lot to talk about.
So.
Let's see here.
Just organizing this thing here so I don't like get all confused.
All right.
I'll read some of these chats.
Okay, let's see here.
I'll read some of the chats and then we'll get into the law enforcement press release.
Ken Rose, two bucks.
I appreciate that.
Got Chief Rocket says, hey, Marin, the chief here not available to watch you on Castle Club.
Yeah, dude, here's the thing.
For Castle Club, you have to use like Rumble Studio, and I don't really know how to use Rumble Studio yet.
I got to get Bills to teach me.
So I apologize that we're not live on Castle Club right now.
I'm going to post this on Cal's Club.
Don't worry.
I'll repost this on Cal's Club for you, Ninjas.
That's just, that's 100% accountability on me.
I don't know how to use Rumble Studio.
So that's on me.
I got to figure it out.
So I'm going to get Bills to teach me.
I apologize for that deeply.
Let's see here.
What else?
Super chats.
We got here.
Hitman says the guy will commit self-deletion and or be murdered in prison.
The cameras will be off, and the prison guards will fall asleep at the same time.
How much you want to bet?
That's from Hitman.
Okay, we'll see about that, my friend.
Glock chick says, what are the odds of Trump being surrounded by inside rats?
They knew his golf schedule, which from my understanding wasn't public knowledge.
Yeah, that is strange, not going to lie.
But what I will say is the people that are closest to Trump are people that he trusts that he appointed himself.
I mean, you get to pick the people on your inner circle of your Secret Service staff, which is how they were able to get up because they basically, the way it worked, guys, was you'll see this more in the press staff.
The Secret Service agents would move forward to what hole he was going to go start shooting at or putting at or whatever.
And that's how they encountered this individual because they got there first.
If I take one hour to cook a batch of mud cookies and sneak up.
Okay.
All right, bro.
I'm on YouTube.
Hi, Martin.
And advice on masking.
Oh, no.
Okay, you asked that one before, bro.
You got to type it out better.
Yo, V, I ain't going front, but you remember.
No, hold on.
That was two days ago.
Jabrio Hogan says, we're not going to talk about Nicholas Maduro.
We have another Fed Reacts episode after this one.
No, we're not going to talk about Maduro on this one, guys, because obviously this is breaking news and we're going to cover this.
So yeah.
Let's see here.
All right.
So let's go ahead and get into.
So we're looking at some of this guy's tweets.
He's crazy.
Look, he's messaging Elton John.
Can you help with the tribute song for Ukraine to rally more support?
I have lyrics to We Are One that I can send you.
It would be great to get small kids to sing the chorus.
Please help.
Yeah.
Nikki Haley.
Wow.
The same speech and weak at best.
I want serious, and this is on February 22nd.
I want a serious State of the Union type speech every time.
I do not want trivial bullshit.
I want help felt, want heartfelt on students killed, Gaza murders, Ukraine horrors, Taiwan, China murders, freedom, democracy, and something inspiring, please.
Yeah, so this guy likes Nikki Haley, which already tells you he's an idiot.
Seth Rogan, you and James Franco must use your status to meet with Kim Jong-un and show him we are friends and want the best for him and his people.
Dennis Rodman did it, weekend.
And he puts in his phone number and thing as if people want to contact him.
So you guys can clearly see here from his tweets, this guy isn't there.
You know, this guy is crazy.
You know, he doesn't even look all the way there in his picture.
Look at this shit.
Come on, man.
Come on, bro.
Look at that smile.
This guy's like the fucking Joker, right?
But let's go into the law enforcement meeting that they had.
We're not going to go there.
All right.
So keep that in mind.
All right.
I apologize, guys.
I don't know why it's coming out one side.
Let me see here if we could find another one that shows both sides.
This afternoon.
Okay, that's better.
All right.
Now it won't come out one side.
I got y'all, ninjas, man.
All right.
1:30 this afternoon.
Call came out, shots fired.
That was called in by the Secret Service because we're in constant contact with them all the time.
We were notified of that, and we had units here that immediately sealed off the area.
Fortunately, we were able.
Now, this is good.
You guys see the stark contrast here between Butler, Pennsylvania, and this area in Florida because obviously the president lives in this area.
He frequents this area.
So Secret Service more than likely already has a point of contact where they call the sheriff's office immediately and they just close the area out, right?
So, and this was probably established years ago.
Once they really figured out that Trump is going to spend half his time at Mar-a-Lago and Trump is going to spend half his time at the White House, because you travel back and forth quite a bit.
He's not the easiest protectee, guys.
So when you have someone like this that's in one area all the time that obviously is of this importance to foreign president of the United States, you're going to have a Secret Service is going to have a direct line to the sheriff's office and they could call him, hey, look, something happened.
I need you guys to close the area off, et cetera.
And yes, the shooter is in custody right now, guys.
We're going to talk about that here in a little bit.
But you can see the big difference here where you're dealing with local law enforcement that you've already, you kind of already know and you work with them all the time versus in Butler, Pennsylvania, this is like, you know, you're there as doing a rally.
You don't really know them like that, et cetera.
So they closed off the area immediately.
To locate a witness that came to us and said, Hey, I saw the and this is the sheriff right here, uh, Palm Beach County Sheriff press conference.
Guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tank, which was great.
So we had that information.
Our real-time crime center put it out to the license plate readers, and we were able to get a hit on that vehicle on I-95 as it was headed into Martin County.
We got a hold of Martin County Sheriff's Office, alerted them, and they spotted the vehicle and pulled it over and detained the guy.
After that, we took the victim, I'm sorry, the witness that witnessed the incident, took flew him up there, and he identified as the person that he saw running out of the bushes that jumped into the car.
Now, in the bushes where this guy was is a AK-47 style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had ceramic guys.
Do me a favor: we got 2,200 of y'all watching on YouTube.
Can you guys like the video, please?
Let's get 2,000 likes.
We should be getting 2,000 likes on this easily.
We got what, 8,000 plus y'all watching between all the different platforms.
So do me a solid, guys, and go ahead and like the video.
And then also open up a tab, watch this on Twitch.
Like I said before, we're making a comeback on Twitch.
All right.
So please do that for me as well.
It's pinned at the top.
I'll put it here on Rumble as well for the 6,000 you guys watching on Rumble.
Just open up a tab and watch on there as well.
Tile in him and a GoPro, which he was going to take pictures of.
Dude had a GoPro there.
That's crazy.
So he had ceramic tile and a GoPro.
So those are being processed right now.
The Secret Service agent that was on the course did a fantastic job.
What they do is they have an agent that jumps one hole ahead of time to where the president was at.
And he was able to spot this rifle barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engage that individual.
Shout out to that Secret Service agent that had the wherewithal to, you know, be observant and see the rifle barrel sticking out of the bushes like that.
And that's really smart that they actually advance and go to the next hole that he's going to go and secure the area before.
And just so you guys know, I've done Secret Service details before, et cetera.
When it comes to the president and them protecting the president, if the president is going to go do a speech or something like that, typically they have assets there weeks ahead of time, right?
I remember, I'll never forget this.
When I was in college, Obama actually came to Northeastern to deliver a speech.
And I saw Secret Service agents there in the Northeastern Police Department running dogs there like a week or two beforehand.
So, you know, that's just what it is.
And obviously with someone like President Trump, they might be even more aware.
But obviously, right, hey, I want to go golfing, et cetera.
You know, are you going to have two weeks to say, I'm going to go ahead and, you know, check out this hole that you're going to make it to when you're playing golf?
No.
But as he's playing, they can predict, okay, he's going to go to this hole next.
Let's go ahead and go there ahead of time.
Maybe they might have an hour, two hours advance.
They get out there, secure the area, make sure there's no weirdos there, clear it out.
Hey, you're over here at golf and get the fuck out the way.
President's going to be shooting holes here very soon.
And luckily, they were able to do that.
And you're going to see any anomalies, right?
And in this case, they saw a barrel sinking out of a bush.
At which time the individual took off.
So that's what we know about the investigation.
We have somebody in custody right now that is a potential suspect.
We got a little bit more to work to do on it.
But as we usually do, as soon as we decide that we're going to book him into the county jail and the charges that he's going to be booked into, we'll get those to you and we'll get a picture of him and we'll get you his backdrop.
So we know who he is.
This is before they released the name, Ryan Ruth.
They have him in custody.
There's a reason why the state and locals picked him up first.
And I'll talk about that here in a little bit.
I just want to continue on at the press conference.
So now I'm going to turn it over to the representative of the Secret Service and he's going to make a brief statement.
Okay, so the guy that just spoke was the sheriff.
Now we got the Secret Service representative.
Let's see what I'll tell you guys what this guy's rank is more than likely by how he speaks.
Let's see.
All right, good afternoon, everyone.
I first want to thank all of our law enforcement partners to include the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office and the Martin County Sheriff's Office for their involvement today.
Former President Donald Trump is saying.
Okay, he didn't introduce himself.
Interesting.
More than likely, this guy, just by the fact that he's sitting up here with all this brass, he's got to be bare minimum of 14 or 15.
Now, you guys are probably wondering, My what the fuck are you talking about?
So this is how it works in the federal government, guys, right?
You got the title of special agent, right?
That goes from a GS.
You know what?
Let's go ahead and have fun with this real quick.
You guys are going to get the most education here.
Nobody comes as close.
GS scale 2024, right?
We can even do Miami, right?
Because it's going to be the same thing.
So here you go, right?
My friends, this is the salary table, and you can look this all up.
It's fucking public record for federal employees, right?
And this is the scale that special agents are paid on, right?
Now, when you get on the job, most Secret Service agents, right?
Secret Service Entry level, they're probably going to get hired as a seven or a nine, more than likely.
Okay, yeah.
So they get paid as a GL seven, right?
So we got the GS scale here, right?
So you start out at the GL level, right?
Which I'll pull this up for you guys real quick because I'm going to explain the difference between GL and GS here in a second.
GL pay scale.
Like the video, by the way.
Nobody gives you guys this freaking type of detail.
And we're going to go ahead with Miami, right?
Because that's what these guys are going to be on, right?
So when you get hired, the hell?
Okay.
When you get hired, so a secret service agent right on the job, a lot of times with a bachelor's degree or whatever, you're probably going to get hired at a seven, right?
Step one: 59,177.
However, it's important to note that you get something called law enforcement availability pay, right?
So that stands for LEAP, law enforcement availability pay.
And that goes 59177, right?
That's the salary, 59,177.
However, you get law enforcement availability pay, which is 25% on top of your base salary, all right?
And that's because due to the nature of your work, you work odd hours, you have a take-home car, you have to respond to certain things whenever something happens because you're a criminal investigator.
Remember, as a Secret Service agent, you are still an 18-11 special agent criminal investigator job series code, right?
Which is 1811 job series.
And this, guys, is the job series that ATF, FBI, HSI, DEA, Secret Service, et cetera.
They're all 1811s, pretty much, right?
So if you want to be a special agent for the government, this is typically what it is, right?
So all 1811s, right, pretty much get this thing called LEAP, law enforcement availability pay, right?
And that is 25% on top of your salary.
So if I go times 1.25, that is the salary, your starting salary as a secret service agent.
73, about 74K, right?
If you're in Southern Florida, right?
About 74,000 entry level, right?
That's typically with a bachelor's degree.
If you have a master's degree, sometimes you'll qualify for a 9, right, which will put you at 65.
And 65, 996 times 1.25, that's 82K starting, right?
If you have a master's degree, sometimes they'll hire you at a nine if you have a master's or some kind of advanced training or some shit like that or education.
So the reason why I say this, guys, because I'm trying to establish rank to you.
So as a special agent, guys, the highest you can get without being promoted, right?
Like non-competitive, is called a GS13 right here.
Okay.
When I left the government, I think I was a GS13, like three or four, right?
So I was making about right around here, 120K or whatever.
Mind you, this was 2020.
Okay, so it's less than this.
This is 2024 pay table.
But I was making around 120K, 120, 125K a year when I left HSI when I was a GS13.
So that means that you don't have to become a supervisor.
This is not competitive.
You just stay in.
You go from every agency is different, but typically you get hired as a seven, then you go to a nine, then you go to 11.
Then you might spend one or two years as an 11, then you go to a 12, then you go to 13.
Typically, it's between three to five years for you to get your 13.
Once you get your 13, you've pretty much maxed out where you're not competitive, and you don't have to become a supervisor, and you can just go up the steps, right?
Now, once you become a supervisory special agent, okay, you're going to hit what's called a 14, okay?
14 is a supervisory special agent.
Then, after a 14, you get promoted to something called, or a supervisory special agent, you become something called a assistant special agent in charge, okay, or ASAC.
If you guys watch Breaking Bad, that's Walter White's brother-in-law, Hank, Hank Schrader, if it's not mistaken.
He becomes ASAC and he brags about becoming an ASAC.
That's what it is.
Assistant special agent in charge, that is a 15, okay?
And then some agencies have something called the deputy special agent in charge.
Typically, is a 15 as well, depending on the office size.
I don't want to get too much in the weeds, but I saw that so you guys understand the ranking, right?
So, more than likely, this individual that's giving this press conference, I'm going to assume he's at least a 15.
I don't, he's probably, you know, at bare minimum, he's going to be a group supervisor.
He's going to be a supervisory special agent, which means he's going to have, and when you're a supervisor, by the way, guys, you have probably five to ten agents that you manage underneath you, right?
So, the agents that are the 13s, the guys that are non that aren't in the supervisory role, these are guys that carry cases, okay?
When you carry a case, you're typically not a supervisor.
The supervisor manages those guys that carry the cases, okay?
And then above the supervisor is the assistant special agent in charge.
He'll manage three to five supervisors, and each of those supervisors manage five to ten guys.
So, if you're an assistant special agent in charge, it's very easy for you to be managing somewhere between 20 to 50 special agents, okay?
And then three or four supervisors, all right?
Give me ones in the chat if that makes sense, guys.
Give me ones in the chat if that makes sense.
Give me ones in the chat if that makes sense.
So, you guys understand the special agent social hierarchy, how things work.
So, in my estimation, this guy is more than likely a 14 or a 15 if he's giving if he's here with all the brass giving a press conference.
Because typically, you want your functional equivalent there with you whenever you're giving press conferences, you're meeting.
So, for example, if I have a meeting with another agency, right, and they're going to have their supervisor there, I'm going to bring my supervisor.
I'm going to bring my 14 with me.
I'm the case agent, I'm a 13.
And he's going to have his 14 there, his supervisor.
I'm going to bring my 14.
If they have their assistant special agent in charge there, they're 15, I'm going to bring my 15.
Does that make sense?
So, you typically want brass or chains of command, different chains of command at different agencies to be there.
So, a sheriff, right, is going to be the equivalent to like a 15 a lot of the times, a system special agent in charge or a special agent in charge.
So, that's why I'm saying this guy more than likely, since he's giving a press release and he's talking about this publicly, he's going to be at bare minimum of 15, 14, maybe if they're short-staffed.
But more than likely, this guy's an assistant special agent in charge, is what I'm thinking.
Okay, you guys are giving me ones in here.
Everybody gets it?
Awesome.
And if you don't get it, give me a two and tell me why you don't get it.
Because obviously, as you guys know, I try to be really educational on these podcasts for y'all and go really into detail.
Let's keep going.
Safe and unharmed, following a protective incident shortly before 2 p.m. on Sunday at Trump International Golf Club at West Palm Beach.
The U.S. Secret Service personnel opened fire on a gunman located near the property line, and this matter is under investigation.
I'll turn it over to my partners over at the FBI.
Okay, now you guys are wondering, what the hell?
Why did he say so little?
That's because the FBI is going to run this case, guys.
Secret Service, just so y'all know, they have a couple of different investigative authorities.
One is counterfeit currency and financial.
And then they also investigate threats against the president.
But whenever it's like an assassination attempt like this, et cetera, that's going to have a lot of press, et cetera, the FBI is going to take it.
Why is the FBI going to take it?
The FBI is going to take it, guys, because the FBI has the most investigative resources in the federal government.
They're the biggest law enforcement agency, federal law enforcement agency.
They have the most agents.
They have the most capacity to actually do this.
And on top of that, they already have the first case with Matthew Crooks, right?
So they're going to go ahead and investigate and make sure that this isn't linked to that.
They're going to try to see if there's other conspirators, et cetera, which we're going to talk about the actual investigation here and how they're going to do it very soon.
But Secret Service job, we protect the president.
He's fine.
Nothing's wrong with him.
As far as the investigation goes, we're going to turn it to the FBI.
So he's being short and sweet, right?
And obviously, the Secret Service has dealt with a lot of fire the past couple months.
So I don't blame him for saying, fuck this.
I'm not going to talk that much.
I'm going to let the FBI handle all the hard questions when it comes to the investigation.
Okay, more than likely, let's take a bet chat.
I haven't seen this press conference yet.
I'm going to bet that this guy's either A, the special agent in charge, or bare minimum, an assistant special agent in charge.
Let's see.
Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is Jeffrey Deltree.
I'm the special agent in charge of the FBI.
I'm too fucking good, baby.
Let's go.
Don't deMonko.
What I tell y'all, man, when they have press conferences like this, they're going to typically have the top brass there to talk about what they're going to talk about, right?
So you got the sheriff, you got that guy from the Secret Service, probably a 15.
Now that I know that this guy is the special agent in charge of the FBI, you guys are probably wondering what's a SAC, or in this case, the FBI calls that an S-A-I-C.
The special agent in charge, guys, is the head of the office.
So in this case, this guy probably is a SAC for Miami.
Let's look him up.
FBI SAIC Miami Yeah, you can see her already here.
He's showing up four days ago, United States Southern Okay, let's go FBI Miami.
So here's FBI Miami, right?
Y'all got to fix your website.
It's trash.
Okay, boom.
Here he is.
Jeffrey B. Veltri.
So here he is, right?
He's a SAC of Miami, right?
And the office is in Miramar.
They switched.
It's a nice office, actually.
It's really nice.
It's brand new.
They built it a couple years ago.
So, and then they got their own little Twitter and everything else like that.
This is the building here, as you guys can see, right?
What the fuck?
Oh, yeah.
There it is.
This guy got pinned.
What the hell?
Whatever.
Anyway, let's go back to the press conference.
Guys, Miami field office.
And you guys are wondering, hold on, wait.
Why is the Miami special agent in charge all the way up in West Palm Beach County?
Because the way it works, guys, is so you got the special agent in charge office, right?
The main office, which I just showed you guys, right?
Which is right here, right?
The SAC sits there.
However, there are going to be satellite offices in between, right?
So you're going to have FBI Miami, right?
That's the SAC office that covers it, but you're going to have FBI West Palm Beach, right?
Yeah, boom.
There's already a statement on it 54 minutes ago.
The FBI responded to West Palm Beach, Florida, and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination attempt.
So they have offices, guys, all over.
So here, boom.
West Palm Beach.
This is their address in West Palm Beach, right?
So they have an office in Miami.
They have an office in Fort Lauderdale.
They have an office in West Palm Beach, et cetera.
And these are called RAC offices or resident agent in charge offices.
Think of them as satellite offices that report to the special agent in charge office, which is in Miami.
So the big field office is in Miami.
Then you got Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, et cetera.
And if we go ahead and show you guys a map, because some of you guys are not familiar with Florida, Miami map, right?
Right?
So you got Miami, right?
Here.
Miramar is up so God damn it.
All right, here's Miramar right here, right?
And you guys can see it's not that far from Miami.
So Miami's here.
The field office actually used to be down here in Miami, but they moved it.
So now it's in Miramar, right?
Then they're going to have an office at Fort Lauderdale.
They're going to have an office in, you know, West Palm Beach, right?
Right.
They're going to have an office here.
They might have one at Fort Myers.
They have another office in Doral, right?
DEA is over here in Weston, right?
There's some FBI agents there.
So they're going to have offices, satellite offices all over southern Florida, but they all report to their SAC office, which is going to be in Miramar, which is technically FBI Miami, okay?
And that's one, what's called an AOR, area of responsibility.
So they're going to be fall under that AOR.
And then there's going to be the next big field office more than likely is going to probably be FBI Orlando, right?
Which I'm assuming that's probably a SAC office as well, right?
Let me see here.
FBI Orlando.
Let's see.
That's probably.
Oh, no, resident agent.
So no, that is not the SAC office.
So let me see here.
Probably Tampa then maybe might be the next SAC office.
Yeah, that's probably the next SAC office in Miami.
FBI Tampa.
Yeah, and they cover 18 counties.
So you guys can see, right?
Yeah, and then, yeah, so there's a SAC over here.
So yeah, this is probably the next main office.
Then they got like, if you go, let's see here.
FBI field offices.
I think there's like 56.
No, offices.
Yeah, so boom.
So here we go to Florida, for example.
You got Miami covers these counties.
Then you got the next SAC office is Tampa.
And then the next SAC office is Jacksonville.
So there's three SAC offices in Florida, right, which cover a bunch of different satellite offices.
And you can see here, right, they cover a bunch of different counties.
So here, this is going to fall under the jurisdiction.
Southern Florida is pretty much covered by FBI Miami, right, which West Palm Beach is considered.
We have four satellite officers or resident agencies in the area, Dade and Broward, right?
And then there's, that's where FBI Miami covers.
And then into West Palm Beach, et cetera, they're going to have a West Palm Beach resident agent office.
Does that make sense, guys?
Give me ones in a chat if that makes sense.
So you got a big office and then underneath the big office, you got the SAC.
And then another SAC, you got the RACs, resident agent and charge offices, all right, which is probably going to be run by an ASAC typically, or sometimes if they're really small, run by a 14 or a supervisor.
Give me ones if that makes sense, guys.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
All right.
So now you guys understand how the FBI works, right?
You guys understand the difference between a SAC, RAC, regular agent, etc.
FBI has assumed the role as the lead federal law enforcement agency in the investigation of the incident.
And we went over why they're going to take over lead, obviously, with Crooks and obviously for resource purposes.
And obviously they're the biggest law enforcement agency.
So they're going to go ahead and run the actual criminal investigation into this guy, Ruth.
That occurred earlier today at Trump International Golf Course here in West Palm Beach, Florida.
We've deployed a number of resources, including the investigative teams, crisis response team members, bomb technicians, and evidence response team members as well.
What we need right now is for the public to avoid the area around the golf course.
We will continue to support this investigation with the full resources of the FBI, alongside our partners with the United States Secret Service and the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, as well as Martin County Sheriff's Office and state and local law enforcement.
I would ask that if anyone has any information that may assist with this investigation to contact our tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI or at tips, that's ti-p-s.fbi.gov.
Thank you.
And as you guys can see, it's a Sunday, right?
So he's obviously showing up and doing this press conference and working on a Sunday, and that goes into what I told you guys before, law enforcement availability pay.
And that's why it's built into your salary.
SACs are paid on a different scale.
They're paid typically on the SES, but that's a whole other conversation.
But the point I'm trying to make here is, since you are expected to work at random times, because there's obviously FBI agents on the scene that are running this investigation, matter of fact, I guarantee you they're probably interviewing this guy, Ruth, right now.
That is where that law enforcement availability pay comes in with the leap that we were discussing earlier.
Hi, I'm Dave Ehrenberg, state attorney for Palm Beach County.
I want to thank you.
Okay, so he is the state attorney for Palm Beach County.
What does that mean?
He is a lead prosecutor for Palm Beach County.
So if there are going to be state charges involved, he's going to be overseeing that.
He's not going to prosecute himself, but he is basically the head attorney.
And then underneath him are going to be district attorneys or assistant district, ADAs, assistant district attorneys.
He's the lead attorney, right, for the state side.
Think of him again, remember Brass Howard talked about?
Special agent in charge, sheriff, district attorney.
These are the top guys in their respective agencies.
He has assistant district attorneys that work underneath him that are going to actually prosecute the case.
So he's giving, but that would be only if it were to be done on a state side.
But you can see here that there's state law enforcement and federal.
Sheriff Bradshaw and our partners at the local, state, and federal levels.
I'm here because our prosecutors are currently working up warrants and a motion for pretrial detention for the suspect.
Okay.
What does that mean?
They're working up warrants and a motion for pretrial detention, et cetera.
This is what I predict is going to happen, chat.
He's going to be arrested on state charges right now, just so that they can quickly get him, you know, put into jail over the weekend, right?
Kind of let the smoke clear, figure out what the fuck his intention was out there, what he was trying to do, et cetera.
Figure all that out, right?
Do the investigation, put some state charges on him, right?
And more than likely, they're going to write state search warrants for his devices, his phones, his house, et cetera.
State search warrants, guys, are way easier to approve than federal, okay?
Why?
Well, because at the state level, you don't need as much refinement.
I'll say it that way.
You don't need as much refinement and probable cause to get into the devices.
So you can go ahead and get what we call state paper, which is a state search warrant, whether it's for they're definitely going to do his house, his devices, et cetera, and legally get into the devices.
And then that evidence can be used, right?
In a federal case, if there is one, right?
So right now, what I predict is the case is a state case at this moment that we're speaking, right?
However, this guy more than likely is being interviewed by, it depends on which agency is going to take this on the state side because there's so many different agencies that could take this.
It could be FDLE, Federal Department of Law Enforcement.
It can be the sheriff's office that takes it.
It can be the well, the FDLE is a component of the state police.
It could be the local police department of West Palm Beach.
So I predict it's more, to me, it looks like more than likely it's going to be the Shaw's office probably, right?
We'll listen to keep listening to the press release.
But regardless, the point is they're going to be a state entity that's investigating this crime, and then there's going to be a federal entity.
So more than likely, I bet there's a case agent involved from the FBI that's sitting in on all of these interviews that's participating in the investigation, obviously.
And what they're going to try to do is they're going to try to take this case federally, right?
They're going to be there in interviews.
They're going to be asking questions.
They're going to be trying to establish probable cause from a federal nexus, et cetera.
They're probably going to get him on some type of weapons charge or some type of, you know, lower level state charge, right?
Whatever it may be, just to keep him in jail, write the warrants, get the probable cause, and then see if they can elevate this to a federal level.
In that way, he will be kept in custody.
But our filing of these warrants and charges at the state level does not preclude federal charge that could be coming.
Bro, I don't watch this press conference, but how do I already know?
Come on, guys.
Don't do it.
I did not watch this press conference.
I'm watching it for the first time just yet, like y'all.
In the meantime, it looks like the warrants and the pretrial detention motion will happen first.
And again, I want to thank the cooperation we've had with our federal partners and at the local level.
And thank you all for being here today.
Okay, we're going to make these pictures available to you.
It'll show you a picture of the backpack and the rifle.
And there's also a GoPro on the fence there where he was intent on filming what was going on.
Even though we're going to have to secure a couple of areas around the golf course here, the public doesn't need to panic.
We know that we got a post office, a library, and a school down the street.
So we'll make it convenient for you to get to all the places you need to go, get your kids to school, get them over here to the post office or wherever else you need to go.
It's safe.
There's no more danger here.
And we'll make it very convenient for you.
So having said that, we're going to take a very limited amount of questions and you can direct them to who you want to answer the question.
Sure, if this individual made any statements as he was being detained.
He's asking, did this individual make any statements as he was being detained?
Good question.
Did he make any spontaneous utterances?
Guys, if you're being apprehended by law enforcement, you say something, right, before they mirandize you, remember, when you're being arrested, they have to read you your rights before they ask you any questions that can incriminate you, right?
You have the right to remain signed and you say it can be used against you in a court of law.
You know, if you can't, if you can't afford an attorney, it won't be appointed for you, blah, blah, blah.
Every agent has a different make on that.
However, if you make what's called a spontaneous utterance as you're being apprehended, et cetera, that will be admissible.
So the reporter here is asking, hey, did he make any comments as he was being arrested?
No statement right now as far as his involvement in the incident.
And there's further investigation to be completed.
Okay, that tells me there's a good chance that he might have lawyered up, which if he lawyers up and he says, no, I don't want to talk to y'all on our lawyer, that means, my friends, that the questioning is done.
Yeah, I'm not sure if maybe the service gentleman answered.
I misunderstood or quite understand.
So there was a right school.
So one of your agents saw on the golf course saw like pointing through a fence with a machine.
Okay, so he saw that.
The agent?
That is correct, yes.
And the president or former president was on the course behind him.
How close?
It was one or two holes behind.
100%.
Because the bubble moves through the golf course.
So our agents will get there first, clear it.
He noted.
And like I said before, so they get there before, clear it, make sure it's good to go, and then they let him come and golf.
Is that the rifle was pointed out, our agents engaged?
We are not sure right now if the individual was able to take a shot at our agents, but for sure our agents were able to engage with the security.
I don't know that.
It doesn't appear so.
Yep.
Now, how far away was the president?
How far away was Donald Trump when this gentleman was caught and stopped?
Probably between 300 and 500 yards.
All right, so three to five hundred yards.
That's, you know, make it simple for you guys.
Three to five football fields away.
So good distance away.
I mean, that's a straight, I mean, the weapon that he used might have not been the best.
And the way he had it propped up, obviously that tells that this guy didn't have that much training.
But, you know, he wanted his viral moment.
He had a GoPro there.
But with a rifle and a scope like that, that's not a long distance.
Yeah, but he can definitely hit that shot with that weapon and that scope.
Not the best gun.
They are would have been probably better, but, you know.
Yeah.
For the Secret Service, how far was your agent from the would-be assailant?
That I'm not sure right now.
We're still looking at it.
With a rifle and a scope like that, that's not a long distance.
For the Secret Service, how far was your agent from the would-be assailant?
Okay, they asked, how far was the Secret Service agent from the would-be assailant?
I'm not sure right now.
We're still looking at.
Three-fourths of the four rounds of ammunition were fired.
With all four of those from your agent?
That is correct.
They asked approximately four shots were shot.
Were they all shot by your agent?
Six.
We're not sure yet.
Was there a long distance?
Four to six, they're saying.
Explaining why.
Yes, yes.
Just done WPBF 25.
I was wondering.
And obviously, Secret Service is going to be on edge, right?
Obviously, they tried to kill Trump literally like two months ago, so they're going to shoot first.
Ask questions later, man.
How this was able to happen, and for future reference, is there any of security in the golf course?
I didn't hear all that.
Say that one more time and talk up a little bit.
So how is this able to happen?
And for future reference, is there any of security in the golf course?
Well, you've got to understand the golf course is surrounded by shrubbery.
So when somebody gets into the shrubbery, they're pretty much out of sight.
All right.
And at this level that he is at right now, he's not the city president.
If he was, we would have had this entire golf course around it.
But because he's not, the security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.
So I would imagine that the next time he comes to the golf course, there'll probably be a little more people around the perimeter.
But the Secret Service did exactly what they should have done.
They provided exactly what the protection should have been, and their agent did a fantastic job.
Which direction was the shrubbery?
When he wanted north, south, I guess, east, west, and south of the road?
The layout of the golf course, you've got three holes, five, six, and seven.
One of them runs parallel to Summit Boulevard.
One of them runs parallel to Congress.
And he was in an area in the shrubbery where he could see both holes.
So the president was another hole back, which means he's about between four and 500 yards away.
So he was on the golf course?
Oh, he's on the golf course, yeah.
But he's back away.
For the Secret Service, have you guys changed at all the way that you guys are protecting former breasts of Donald Trump?
This is now a second, potential second attempt on them.
Can you just elaborate on how things have changed?
All right, he's asking if they've changed the way they protect the president.
Have things changed if you can elaborate.
What you make of all this.
Yes, the threat level is high.
We have increased the amount of assets that we've supported.
So we live in danger time.
So, yes.
We're done with questions right now.
There's really nothing more for us to add.
I just want to tell you, the Secret Service and the FBI and the State Attorney's Office have been fantastic to work with.
And I can tell you right now, our agency with this real-time crime center was fabulous.
That's how we got the guy.
We started out with, we don't know anything, to where we had a tag, we had a vehicle description, and we've got an area where we saw the person.
So be proud of your law enforcement.
All right.
Thanks, folks.
We'll get back to you.
All right.
So let's go ahead and see what else is going right now.
Let's see if the New York Post updated anything here.
Nope.
We are coming on the air with breaking news about former President Donald Trump, who is safe, according to his campaign.
As the FBI says it is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination, in their words, of former President Trump.
Four senior law enforcement officials tell NBC News Secret Service fired in the direction of a person with a gun just outside Mr. Trump's golf course in South Florida today, and that they recovered an AR-style rifle.
They say one person is in custody tonight.
Want to show you, we're about to hear an update from officials there in Palm Beach County in Florida.
It looks like that news conference is going to begin any second.
And as it does, I want to bring in our correspondent Tom Winter, who's been following this.
Bring us up to speed on what we don't know, what we know, and Tom, importantly, what we don't know, because there's still some real big questions here, too.
Big questions here, Hallie, as far as the sequence of events, but as best we can figure it out, when the former president or any president is on a golf course and what's called an off-the-record event, in other words, they don't tell us about it ahead of the time.
It's not publicized.
What the Secret Service does is they fan out agents behind the president or their protectee or in front.
The agents that were in front, several holes ahead of Trump, were told spot an individual along the tree line or in the bushes outside of the property, the golf property, where Trump was playing golf.
They see him.
It's not clear whether he was aiming at the former president, whether he was aiming at the Secret Service agents or something else, but they see clearly, according to them and the law enforcement officials we've been speaking to, they see that this individual is armed.
They fire upon that individual.
He flees, dropping the weapon, and then is pursued by local law enforcement who has the license plate and has the details and the information to make that pursuit.
They take that person into custody.
The Secret Service and law enforcement find an assault-style rifle, a semi-automatic rifle in the bushes there, and perhaps some other items as well.
That's something we're still trying to figure out.
So it does appear to bottom line it, Hallie, that an armed individual with a semi-automatic rifle was outside of the property where Donald Trump was playing golf this afternoon, and the Secret Service engaged with that individual in gunfire.
The question is whether or not that person fired upon the Secret Service or fired upon Trump prior to the Secret Service engaging.
There's a lot of conflicting information, as you might imagine, Hallie, at this stage of the investigation, but that's something that we're trying to figure out, as well as who this individual is and what their specific motive might be.
But the statement from the FBI, as just put in by our colleague Ken Delanian, is abundantly clear.
They view this as yet another attempted assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Coming just about two months, of course, after that first attempted assassination against the former president in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Now, this suspect was caught basically up I-95, so north of Palm Beach County in a different county.
And the sheriff there says when taken into custody, the suspect appeared relatively calm in demeanor.
Do we know anything else about where this investigation goes from here, Tom?
Because as you point out, the big question I think remaining is: did this person get a shot, a shot off essentially, on former President Trump, on the Secret Service, et cetera?
Right.
And all indications are here, Hallie, given the fact that these agents were several holes away from Donald Trump, that if he was firing upon them, believing that the president was part of this group, well, then likely he was far, far away from where Trump was.
We should note that no shots or rounds are believed to have been found near Trump at all.
He was immediately taken to safety by the Secret Service.
Just so you guys know, we'll be doing a Zoom call with our Castle Club members after the stream.
So just, you know, Castle Club.tv, guys, make sure you enroll because we're going to definitely do a Zoom call with you, ninjas after the fact.
So jump on in.
Castclub.tv.
I see Elevator Sniper says, sorry to interrupt the stream, but I changed my credit card info.
Okay, the Castle Club now trying to charge 135.
Yeah, bro.
I mean, if you didn't get grandfather in at that price point that we had before, you're going to have to pay the newer price, which obviously is really cheap to get the access that you guys get.
We're going to do another Zoom call, by the way, tomorrow.
We have David Green for Bigger Pockets on.
So, yeah, man, that's kind of one of the unfortunate things, unless we do another sale.
So, but yeah.
This dude said he can't hear anything.
Don't know what's up with the volume.
Bro, you're chat.
Is the volume good for y'all?
Give me ones if the volume is good for you guys.
I think some of you guys just have sucky ass phones.
Like, that's just what it comes down to.
Some of you guys have sucky headphones or sucky headphones and/or sucky phones, bro.
Yeah, sound is good.
All right, bro.
It's just you, man.
Some of y'all be trolling, man.
He has since departed that location.
And so, right now, all we know is that if this individual did fire, they were probably too far away for certain to be able to hit Trump, if even to be able to get an accurate shot off from that distance.
So, that's, again, all part of the investigation, all part of what's going on.
One thing I can tell you, there are serious discussions at this hour about the ongoing safety of our political candidates and their families in this country, because as you just pointed out, we're within two assassination attempts here within the last.
Real quick, I want to bring this to your guys' attention.
This is the guy right here.
I got this off Twitter.
Why are you here?
This is the guy here, this crazy bastard.
I'm 56 from the U.S. U.S., from North Carolina.
originally so live in Hawaii now.
Yeah, half his hair is purple and half all the way from Hawaii here.
So the question as far as why I'm looks like he's in Romania.
Here.
To me, you know, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white.
This is about good versus evil.
This is a storybook, you know, any movie we've ever watched.
This is definitely evil against good.
I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, the Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind and generous and unselfish and take care of one another.
And it's just a matter of, you know, we need to stand up for that.
That is the most important thing in the world is just to show human beings that we're kind and we're caring and that we take care of one another and that the world is united so that we feed each other and make sure that we all move forward as one collective whole unit.
So we feel the pain of one country's failure and their conflicts and we enjoy the successes of other countries that are doing good and we all work together.
And for some reason, Russia does not grasp this concept that we're all one unit and we have to get along and work together and be normal human beings.
This is 2022.
We have to work together.
It seems asinine that we have a leader in a country that does not understand the concept of being unselfish and being generous and being kind and just the basic moral values that are required by human beings these days.
It blows my mind.
And what are you doing here in Ukraine?
My initial goal was to come and fight.
I think everybody around the globe should be motivated to come here and support the Ukrainians and support the army no matter what.
All right.
So he's in Ukraine.
This is reported by Romania, Newsweek Romania.
But I guess so this is probably right after this is probably from 2022, I'm assuming, this interview.
What gender, age, anything?
Everybody should be here supporting the army.
But I'm 56, so initially they were like, well, I have no military experience.
So they're like, you're not an ideal candidate.
So they said, not right this minute.
So plan B. They'll take his ass right now, though.
They've been losing bodies left and right, man.
He was to come here to Kyiv and promote getting more people here.
You know, we need thousands and thousands and thousands of people here fighting with the Ukrainians.
We need, you know.
Guys, do me a favor.
We got only 1.1k likes.
We got 2,600 of y'all watching on YouTube and another 6,400 or so on Rumble.
Guys, do me a favor, like the video, man.
Let's hit 2,000 likes on YouTube, please.
Get this thing up.
And then what I'm thinking, guys, is we might switch to Twitch only here after we complete going through some of this breakdown.
Like I said, we're trying to build up the Twitch.
We're moving away from streaming on YouTube.
It's going to be Rumble and Twitch only, ninjas.
Twitch and Rumble only.
That will be the platforms.
So, yeah.
We've got 190 countries around the world, and we need thousands from all of them.
If the governments will not send their official military, then we civilians have to pick up the torch and make this thing happen.
And we've gotten some wonderful people here, but it's a small fraction of the number that should be here.
If we have 5,000 to 10,000 people here fighting, that is just a minuscule amount of the 5 billion people on the globe.
We need everyone here fighting.
That's why I'm in Kyiv.
So every project that I promote is about getting people here to support the Ukrainians.
We were at a critical juncture in this war where we are sitting on the fence as far as whether good or evil is going to win.
Right now, we're looking at a situation where the world is waning and it's thinking that this is important or not.
And we're at a point where, you know, all right, are we going to stand for humanity, for human rights, for everything that is good with the world?
Or are we just going to ignore it?
You know, if everybody is complacent and doesn't join this.
Guys, I'm not on FedReaction on Twitch.
It's fresh and fit on Twitch.
I dropped the link.
It's pinned at the top of the YouTube chat.
So go ahead and open up another tab and watch on Twitch.
Like I said before, we're trying to grow the Twitch up.
We're tired of streaming on YouTube because we're demonetized on there.
And quite frankly, it doesn't make sense for us to stream on YouTube anymore.
We just post clips on YouTube.
So we're going to be streaming only on Rumble and Twitch.
As you guys know, Rumble is still the home base.
Don't get it twisted.
Rumble is still the home base.
But, you know, we're going to be streaming.
Our normie platform is going to be Twitch.
All right.
Which I think we could totally take over.
I'm looking at some people here that stream on Twitch and I'm like, bro, we make better content than all these dudes.
What the hell?
So, yeah, we're going to take over Twitch.
This fight, then guess who's going to win?
It might take 10 years, but we're going to lose this battle if everyone around the globe does not stop.
The channel got suspended, but we appealed it and got it back.
So shout out to Twitch for that, man.
They're doing get off the couch and come to Ukraine and defend the human rights of everyone around the globe.
This is the most important thing going on in the world today.
So sitting around and letting life go on as normal and complaining about gas prices and complaining about, you know, your luxury life and whatever.
That's one thing he is right about.
I've talked about this before.
The conflict in Ukraine and the conflict in Ukraine, guys, absolutely increased the gas prices and increased the food prices, which the Democrats never admit for obvious reasons because they allowed the conflict to happen in the first place.
But your food price and everything else like that absolutely was stimulated by this conflict.
Because Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe, guys.
So if there's bread issues, right, and food shortages in Europe, that's going to have everlasting effects on the rest of the world.
Okay.
The world is like interconnected now more than ever before.
Global trade is very real.
So if we have a supply chain issue on the other side of the world, it is going to affect us and affect our price points with our food and our resources and our commodities over here.
That's the one thing that this idiot said that's correct.
But he's yeah, he's yapping though.
The country you live in is unacceptable.
As human beings, we must support each other.
We cannot turn our backs on anyone around the world and expect the problem to go away.
So I've been dealing with Russia for my entire life.
You know, we had one period where it was okay, but now we've let it flip back into terrorism.
So it's just the world needs to respond.
You know, why world leaders are not sending military is beyond me.
We're going to have to elect new leaders the next go-around that have a backbone and that you know have the fortitude to say, hey, we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior.
This type of behavior is unacceptable anywhere, anywhere, anyplace.
You know, so I know some of you guys are saying that the Rumble stream is freezing.
Come on over to Twitch, guys.
Twitch has a really good latency.
Watch it on Twitch.
So come on over.
We got 400 plus y'all on Twitch.
So let's get 2,000 on Twitch, man.
Let's get the front page.
Come on.
I'm keeping it clean because this is FedReacts.
I'm not going to be going crazy anyway.
So might as well.
It's totally unacceptable.
And why people are not responding out, I do not know.
Watch on Twitch and or on Rumble, guys.
We're on YouTube too, but I'm going to end the YouTube stream here soon.
What impressed you the most since you are here?
My trip to Irpin was pretty emotional.
So, you know, going and seeing the buildings that were burned and destroyed and things of that nature.
I think more emotional for me also is just talking to the guys that have come here.
You know, when you talk to a 20-year-old guy that sold everything else to come at your fight.
Yeah, so you guys can see that this dude is emotionally erratic.
Now he's getting into a tirade about, you know, the right thing to do and he's crying and stuff.
This dude's a little bit off his rocker.
Let's read some of these chats here.
We got which they piled up.
Sorry about that, guys.
We got Uncle Luke says, Myron, what the hell is going on with this country?
I'm not surprised.
I'm starting to believe the Dems are part of this.
They know he's going to win, so they're trying to kill him political violence.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Here, Martin, I know you're staying out of it, but what do you think about the beef that is going on with Andrew Tate and Sneeko?
I don't know what's going on over there, man.
To be honest, I don't know enough.
I haven't really paid attention to it so far.
I've just been focusing on this thing right now, guys.
Obviously, I'm friends with both.
Both are great guys.
But I don't know what's going on at this very moment.
Top did UCJ says, been a while, big guy.
Hope you are doing well.
Take care.
Thank you, Jay.
And $100.
Don't deMonco.
That sassa was in a Jideon video.
Really?
Okay.
Myron is back.
So, yo, Myron, my sneaky link was voting for Kamala until I used all your points on why Trump is a better pitch.
You changed your mind and was just registered Republican W. Myron to keep converting these 304s.
Good stuff, bro.
Yeah, you got to wake them up, man.
A lot of people are dumb.
So, okay, so the person that tried to assassinate Trump was in one of Gideon's old videos.
Okay, it looks like I can see him right here.
Let's go ahead and play this clip for you, Ninjas, real fast.
How veteran are you?
Bro, I served in Nuketown.
Well, I think it's better to serve and fight in the powers.
I'm fucking over the system.
Bro, give me a Glock and a Hellcat.
Take a look at this.
Bob, but I don't do paper, though.
I just told you.
I don't do paper, though.
I don't care if you do paper or not.
I'm looking for revolutionaries.
A lot of people want to take this whole system down.
Bro, I'm a veteran.
Like, do you need me?
What kind of veteran are you?
Right, start the Nuketown.
Well, I think it's better to serve and fight in the powers, fucking over the system.
Bro, give me a Glock and a Hellcat.
Take a look at that.
Yeah, this guy's clearly off his rocker.
So here, let's get into this.
That is heroism.
You know, he's coming here to risk his life for humanity, for the Ukrainians.
You know, guys that sell everything they own to come here and support the Ukrainians while others sit at home and do nothing.
You know, it's totally mind-blowing.
Well, it looks like we got a hype train incoming.
Guys, come on over to Twitch.
We got a hype train going.
Let's go.
Let's get cooking.
All right.
How we have this divide of people that are selfless and courageous and wonderful and willing to sell everything they own to come here and support, you know, keep people from getting killed to shelter kids and protect Ukraine.
Hype train incoming on Twitch, guys.
Open up a Twitch tab.
Let's get this thing cooking.
Ukrainians and others that just, you know, want to sit at home and not.
It's just, it, you know, it's an indictment of our entire human society to say, hey, you know, where do we stand?
Do we stand for good?
Or do we just not care?
I mean, does the world not care?
That's the feeling that I wrestle with every day, every day in my interactions with everybody.
You know, every one of us is responsible for the outcome of this war.
Every one of us, you know, by our actions and what we do.
And, you know, when I call back home and say, hey, I need five bucks so I can, you know, put enough money together to get a vest for a Ukrainian and I get no response.
I'm like, I'm not sure that the world is as wonderful as I once thought.
Hey, shout out to Twitch.
They're in here as well.
Shout out to you, Twitch.
You're in here watching.
So shout out to you guys, man.
It was.
I had thought that everyone would respond, you know, very generously and unselfish.
And you guys can see here that this dude's off his rocker a bit.
You know, he's trying to get five bucks for a vest or whatever.
So he probably doesn't have, he's not probably not financially stable like that.
And we're level two hype trained by the way, guys.
Selfishly.
And, you know, you don't have to come.
But, you know, if I asked for $5 to buy a vest to save a Ukrainian life, it seems like that would be a no-brainer.
But I increasingly get more disappointed in humanity.
And I'm beginning to question whether or not we're going to end up on the right side of this equation.
So you are working with the International Legion?
Yes.
And you are trying to convince people to help, to donate, and to join.
Oh, we're on the front page of Twitch.
All right, let's go, baby.
Don't demonco.
We're actually giving you guys some great content over here.
We're reacting to more political stuff.
I know that Twitch doesn't have as many right-wing political commentators, but I'm here.
All right.
I am here.
So, you know, obviously, the battle of ideas is an important thing to uphold in the United States.
So let's go, man.
Front page of Twitch.
We out here, man.
Yeah, yeah.
My final question is, what would you say to the people in order to convince them to join the International Legion or to donate for it or to be involved in the humanitarian aid to Ukraine?
Right, right.
It's just extremely important, the whole thing.
As far as joining the military, you know, yes, if you have some military experience or know people with military experience, encouraging them to come and fight, we have units all over the place.
So, you know, there were some leadership issues initially, but we've got so many units available to us: Georgian, Crimean, Ukrainian, territorial defense, foreign legion.
We have, you know, so many paramilitary groups.
I can put, I put a 74-year-old Japanese guy in a unit.
So, you know, we have girls in units.
So we have two girls that are in the unit up the street.
So any gender, any age, any skill level to no skill level.
But yeah, if you want to fight, come here and see me, and I'll put you in a unit so you can go fight.
But regardless of that, we should have thousands upon thousands of people standing here with the Ukrainians.
This Maiden Square, Independent Square, we should have millions of people in this square filling the square from every country around the world.
And why we don't, I don't understand.
I'm here every day with all the flags from all the supporting countries with the memorials for the people that have died.
And, you know, I've had several people come, but just a handful, you know.
So it blows my mind that I'm standing here alone without thousands of people from every country, from Asia, from Africa, from Australia, from Canada, from everywhere in South America, every place.
Yeah, Europe, everywhere.
We need everybody here.
You know, if you have no skills, just come.
You know, we need to be cheerleaders.
Just being here and saying, hey, I support the Ukrainians and I support human rights and I support good and generosity and caring and kindness and altruism.
And it's just, you know, we need to show the world that we care.
And it's essential.
You know, if you don't do any work at all, just being here and supporting and showing them that we care.
We care for our fellow human beings.
We're a level three hype train.
By the way, guys, after this guy is done yapping, we're going to switch on over to Twitch on YouTube.
I'm going to bring all my YouTube people over to Twitch.
We're going to finish the stream over there.
The most important thing we could do.
So guys, we're going to react to this because obviously this guy is a little bit off his rocker.
Actually, he's quite a bit off his rocker.
That's not even a question.
Guys, come on over.
I'm going to drop my Twitch thing.
We got a hype train right now.
We're on level, I think, we just completed level three of the hype train.
So come on over, guys.
Twitch stream is on top.
The link is on top of the FedReacts channel.
Come on over, guys.
Like I said before, man, we're demonetized on YouTube.
So it is what it is.
We're Twitch gang and Rumble Gang only now.
So come on over, guys.
If you don't have Twitch, download it on your phone.
Link is there.
Come on over.
We're building up a community over there.
