The Poso Daily Brief.
This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
The FBI has assumed the role as the lead federal law enforcement agency in the investigation of the incident.
...that occurred earlier today at Trump International Golf Course.
The suspect in the apparent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Ryan Wesley Routh.
Investigators say Routh was the man with an AK-style rifle, 300 to 500 yards away from the former president.
How did he know that Donald Trump was going to be playing golf?
How did he have access to his schedule?
Yeah, that's the million-dollar question.
The golf course is surrounded by shrubbery, so when somebody gets into the shrubbery, they're pretty much out of sight.
He's not the city president.
If he was, we would have had this entire golf course surrounded.
Well, because he's not, security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.
Sources say they recovered a backpack and a semi-automatic rifle that was described as an AK-47 in the preliminary reporting, and a GoPro camera.
It suggests that this individual may have wanted to record Today's apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself.
Mr. Trump is running mate J.D.
Vance continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio.
He is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.
I'm looking for revolutionaries.
I don't know how many people want to take this whole system down.
Ukraine is reluctant to be cooperative.
That's Ryan Roof, a U.S.
citizen who set up the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine.
Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind.
Why I'm 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.
Sadly, the finger pointing at Trump has led to, you know, the line about the blood bath, talking about the auto industry being used as if he's going to create a bloody coup if he loses.
That kind of That kind of verbiage is something you use in a third-world country when you're talking about a dictator.
And that, sadly, has led to, I think, these attempts on Trump's life.
And I don't think it's going to end.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live in Washington, D.C.
Today is September 16, 2024.
Anno Domini.
Second assassination attempt on President Trump conducted by an individual known as Ryan Wesley Ralph, who was the would be assassin.
Of course, President Trump was, I think as most people know by now, was playing golf at his golf course in West Palm Beach, which is just a few miles away from Mar-a-Lago, taking a Sunday afternoon to try to relax from the campaign trail and then was met with this situation.
Many questions are yet to be answered, but the biggest one that we have uncovered here at Human Events is that this individual, Ryan Wesley Routh, was directly tied with the Ukrainian operations, directly tied with foreign fighter groups going over there, directly tied with calls for support, including financial support to the
As of battalion, yeah, the as of battalion that we were telling you about two years ago, here on this program, someone who is over there in with direct ties, by the way, to the CIA, that as of absolutely does, we know they've also received arms from the Biden administration.
And and furthermore, this individual says that he was specifically
Working to try and he was profiled in the New York Times and profiled in semaphore serious journalistic Outlets or at least serious from from their perspective in the sense that they are not fringe But they are corporate media outlets that he was attempting to bring foreign fighters from Kabul to Kiev This guy glows and he glows hard there's no question in my mind that he has overlapped with the national security agencies and and
I can exclusively report from my sources that he did receive battlefield training in Ukraine.
However, I have not received confirmation as to whether or not he carried a weapon in war, as, of course, Tim Walz claimed that he did.
Also, by the way, when you see those backpacks that were up against the fence, this is very indicative, by the way.
Look at the backpacks that were placed up against that fence.
The use of, and we're going to have Erik Prince on in a couple of minutes, we're going to talk about this, the use of them, what was found inside?
Ceramic tile.
Why would you have ceramic tile in backpacks?
Oh, because that's a makeshift body armor in place for a sniper's nest.
We're going to ask Erik Prince about these tactics.
Is it possible that these tactics were learned on the battlefield in Ukraine or from Ukrainian forces?
Was this a blowback?
Or, and the other question by the way, How did he get a rifle if this guy was a former felon who wasn't supposed to have a firearm with the serial number shaved off?
Folks, you better get your head in the game.
They are trying to kill President Trump and they're not going to stop.
We'll be right back here.

Also throw out there, by the way, so folks, I've said this earlier, I'll say it here, that for anyone who's ordered Bulletproof, the new book by myself and Joshua Lysak about the first assassination attempt on President Trump, we spent the entire night here in the office working, chapter and verse, going through.
We have added an entire new chapter about Ryan Wesley Routh.
All of that information that we've received, that you're hearing today, We'll be in the book.
If you pre-ordered a copy, it will already be coming out.
If you wanted to order one of these signed copies, the special editions at orderbulletproof.com, that information will all be included.
It's all being updated in real time.
I'm on the phone with the publisher last night, first thing this morning, past midnight we're here in the office, then I'm up at 6 a.m.
cracking at it this morning even before I have to get the kids to school.
So folks, we are burning the midnight oil on this and I'll tell you something right now.
Something that I haven't put out yet, and I'm just gonna say it.
I've told you before that the Bulletproof Project includes, it's not just a book, because it includes an active investigation by private investigators that are on the ground in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania and in areas adjacent in Western PA.
This is conducted by licensed private investigative firm that we've reached out to.
They're licensed in Pennsylvania and We are going to be including updates to the book so if you get the kindle version you get the audio book which I will be doing that you can get updates to that as the investigation continues and as we learn more about both of these shooters the book is intended as a sort of living document that with those updates we pushed out to you.
I spoke to the private investigator this morning and this is what I'll tell you right now.
We are now working to investigate whether or not there were any ties between these two shooters and their networks.
But whether it's on the ground in Ukraine, whether it's on the ground in Bethel Park, if there is any scintilla of evidence connecting the two shooters, we are going to find it and we are going to get that information to you through the Bulletproof Project.
That is my promise.
That is my solemn oath to you.
They are trying to kill President Trump.
They are trying to take his head off.
You need to wake up.
I want to bring in now Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaffer and I've got a very specific question for him.
Tony, you of course have been looking at the situation as I have as well.
I kind of just gave the pre-brief.
I think most people understand the situation.
Guys, put that photo up of the ceramic tiles.
the back, I should say the backpacks with ceramic tile inside them to create this makeshift sniper's nest.
No.
Tony, you're someone who served overseas.
You're someone who's been in these situations.
You've got that level of training.
Does this seem like something that a guy without training would do?
No.
You've rightfully identified some of his associates who he was in Ukraine with.
I don't want to get into that on the air right now, but it's an interesting connection you made.
And I think he's, he's pretty upset about it.
Uh, and, uh, the dough boy I'm referring to was another wannabe who did have some level of military training.
They were both in Ukraine together.
And I think they were probably given some level of, of, of, uh, military orientation.
Uh, clearly the fact that they were, he was able to.
to come up with this he didn't come up with this on his own this isn't just some some guy who showed up at a golf course and lucked out and happened to be at the right place at the right time with a few articles of tactical gear to benefit him potentially in a firefight with secret service he was he there's there's three things here i want to put out there and tony and tony real quick by the way when you say when you say he was in a firefight with secret service a lot of people are saying wait a minute
the secret service agent saw the rifle saw the barrel saw the muzzle and Got rounds off.
We know that he got some rounds off.
We're not sure if the shooter got rounds off yet.
I think that remains to be seen.
Why is it that he doesn't seem to be scathed?
Why doesn't it seem like any of the rounds found their purchase?
Is it possible that, and again we're only seeing the back of these backpacks, do the front of these backpacks have potentially bullet holes on them?
Did they actually function as intended to provide him with that cover for his sniper's nest?
And if so, was that a tactic that he learned from people on the battlefield in Ukraine?
Well, the answer is, of course, yes, he learned it on the battlefield in Ukraine, I believe, because he was there.
I mean, it's not disputed that he was there.
He's not disputed.
He was recruiting, trying to recruit soldiers to go fight there.
So the three things which I think are factually accurate, there's no dispute, he somehow ended up on The Trump International Golf Course at a time the president was there.
That's not a dispute.
How did he know to be there at that time, Jack?
How did he know to be there at that precise time when there was no announcement of the president going?
So how did he know that?
That's very peculiar.
Secondly, how did he know that very spot?
Was he somehow either leaked the information regarding that potential Key terrain, and I think you and I can agree, this is key terrain.
This is terrain that somehow someone had identified as being incidental to the course regarding the path the president would take, as well as being within a critical range for an AK-type weapon.
So those are two indisputable facts.
Third, and most importantly to your point just now we're talking about, Did he have some level of military training sufficient to make him a real threat?
The answer is yes, of course.
He had an AK, which I would not have chosen as a weapon, but you know, I'm an AR guy myself, and I like the 7.62 as a round in the old M1As.
But this guy clearly had some level of knowledge and real-time intelligence to get him into a position where he was setting up a hide site, essentially a sniper hide site, a spider hole, if you will.
I think that's what he was going for.
And because he was not, I'll just say it, probably not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to tactics and technology, he just wasn't able to set up properly in time.
And I think his lack of camouflage, he clearly had some level of concealment.
He was not easily observable.
But the fact is that the the fact he didn't have adequate training to make himself more camouflage is what probably saved the president.
This guy was a knucklehead when it came to that.
But he had he had cover.
He had concealment.
It just wasn't adequate to an effective cover to complete the purpose.
Thank goodness.
Oh, yeah.
Effective.
But somehow this all was prevented because one of the guys in the bubble, they call it the protective bubble, the Secret Service.
They were advanced.
They were going to the next hole ahead of Trump.
And one of those guys observed it.
He fired off six shots, according to the police reports I've read.
I don't have confirmation of what Roth did back to them at this point at all.
But I do think it is very possible that that body armor was used to protect him and avoid being hit by the Secret Service shots.
Well, it's certainly possible this makeshift ceramic tile, which could have been a tactic that he picked up while in some training in one of these international battalions in Ukraine.
Absolutely.
And then it has used it.
I just want people to understand that the battlefield tactics learned in Ukraine from a side that the U.S.
is training are now being used to conduct domestic terrorism events and assassinations here in the United States.
I want everyone to be clear what has just been learned here.
This is TTP flow.
This is tactic, technique, procedure flow coming from the battlefield in Ukraine is now back here at home.
And by the way, I might have an answer for your question.
But it actually, it creates a secondary question because one of the things that he was charged with earlier today, and he was laughing, by the way, as they brought him into the courtroom, was possession of a firearm as a felon.
Well, the question for me is, we ask, why did he use the AK?
Why was the serial number filed off?
How did he get a firearm if he was a formerly convicted felon, someone who had been through the service?
Is it or the justice system?
Is it possible then that he brought this AK variant back with him from Ukraine?
Is it I mean, Tony, you know that that's possible to get back into the US.
Well, there's any number of ways you can bring a weapon in, especially right now with the poorest borders.
Heck, with Kamala Harris's open border, you could probably bring in a a a recordless rifle, Jack, from the Mexican army.
And I'm not joking about that.
I mean, you could walk it in.
Someone could have walked it in for him.
He could have walked it in.
By the way, how did he get here from Hawaii?
How did he go from Hawaii, where he supposedly lives now, to Florida without being tracked?
There's some real mysteries here.
Well, let me hit some real mysteries.
We are going to continue right after the break.
Quick break, Tony, and I'll come right back to you when we come in, because there's a lot of questions and people need to hear this from the highest levels available again.
Was this a blowback assassination attempt on President Trump?
Ukrainian foreign fighter returns to the United States and attempts to kill Donald Trump.
In the hood, I rolled with bloods and them boys had a saying.
You can't be listening to all that slappy-whack-trematozal-it's-a-bam-ship-nippy-bam-bam like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

Kamala Harris will do even worse to it if she gets in.

You have to be proactively protecting your assets so that when the supply chains get rocked and Biden decides to print a few more trillion dollar bills, it won't impact your family's bottom line.
And the only way to do that is with the one true beacon of stability that so many patriots use to preserve their wealth, and that, my friends, is gold.

Post I want to go back now.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schafer.
Tony, we got cut off by the hard break there.
You are going to make some comments regarding just just just all of this.
Please continue.
So part of the story which is developed, which strangely enough, the the public radio, North Carolina Public Radio reported when this all happened, is that this guy is a convicted felon because he had an automatic weapon.
Now, think about this.
The left is always screaming about gun control and all these controls are supposed to be.
But this guy is a convicted felon who had an automatic weapon at some point.
He's been convicted of hit and run.
He's been convicted of theft.
So all these things add up to someone who was probably on the radar of somebody.
You know what I mean?
It's like DHS or FBI should have been tracking this guy.
You point out correctly that he's got a huge public profile.
He's been in the New York Times, Newsweek.
He's made a very public, I'll say nuisance, because that's what I think it is, of himself promoting the Ukrainian cause.
No matter how you feel about Ukraine, people like him are not representative of the best and brightest of the United States.
And for a felon to be going to support the folks over in Ukraine, that's not a good look.
Secondly, then, I think he did get, quote unquote, radicalized, more committed to acts of violence and extremism by being in Ukraine.
Every indication is that he was over there with their military.
He alluded to working with other members of the other US expats who were over there serving in the Ukrainian military.
I'm I suspect some of the folks we may see come up by name were some of the most radical members of our left here.
So it all fits to put together an initial picture of someone who was unhinged Radicalized and clearly a danger to himself and others regarding the potential use of weapons.
And somehow he got that AK-47.
He somehow moved without any issues or difficulty to be in the right place at the right time, right at a time when President Trump was going to be within small arms range.
I don't believe lightning speaks twice, Jack.
Something is really up here.
Well, of course, there's also these questions as well regarding the timing, the situationality of all of this.
The questions are, why were drones not employed by the Secret Service out in front?
Again, we see somebody walking around.
Did no drone simply fly down the golf course and see if they were, oh, I don't know, check the security perimeter?
My son could do a better job in the Secret Service with a drone, yeah.
Check the security cordon for oh I don't know maybe a Nissan Xterra that's been sitting out for 12 hours because think of this if the shots rang out at 2 p.m and where ABC is giving us now a window of about 12 hours and get the the map up for people to see the general vicinity of where this was in the Palm Beach area so That means the car would have been there at potentially 2 in the morning, 3 in the morning.
That's a vehicle that you would expect would be picked up immediately by local police.
They would have heard it on their patrols.
If you had just simply, again, made one phone call to the local patrol and say, have you seen anything suspicious?
They'd say, yeah, we got this car that's been sitting there for all these hours.
Somebody appears to be in it.
We don't know if he's a vagrant.
We don't know what's going on.
Why wasn't there any basic security done here, Tony?
These are not high-level... We're not talking, by the way, about encrypted SIGINT communications.
We're not talking about, you know, deep web analysis.
We're talking about, did you walk around the corridor and did you see if there was anyone suspicious with, oh, I don't know, AK-47s in sniper hide positions with ceramic tile using battlefield tactics from Ukraine on the golf course?
This is something that obviously, and I commend, of course, the Secret Service agent who did see what happened and responded thusly.
But again, the question goes back to why has President Trump not been given the basic level of security that he should have had already?
And furthermore, did this individual have some kind of foreknowledge of President Trump?
And by the way, I'll throw out there that I would say, yes, it is possible to guess or assess that President Trump may go golfing on a Sunday when he's in town.
That's not that hard to find out.
Palm Beach is not that big of a place.
President Trump is not exactly able to conceal his movements.
He's about as easy to conceal his movements as an aircraft carrier is to conceal at sea because Everyone can see the motorcades etc when he travels and you can see obviously this was probably close enough that you could see the plane sitting across the street there.
That also may have been one of the reasons that he was hanging out in this vicinity to see if the Trump aircraft was there on the tarmac.
But it still doesn't answer the question of how that he knew precisely to be there in the bushes while President Trump was just minutes away.
And Tony, look, I mean, the idea that the idea that this guy was able to do all of this, including get that gun while a convicted felon and able to do also by himself, I think is ridiculous.
I think it's completely ridiculous to think this guy was acting alone.
Well, yeah, these all require some level of cooperation by somebody.
You just don't go out to Walmart and buy an unmarked AK-47.
You don't just go out and buy weapons, I mean, buy the body armor components without some level of paper trail of some sort or getting from someone.
The other thing, Jack, I think we need to pay attention to, and you mentioned it, is that, you know, the fact is that this guy was there for 12 hours and there was no surveillance.
Again, I said this in jest, but I really, really not.
My son has a sophisticated drone.
He's now federally licensed to fly this drone.
Jack, you can buy sophisticated drones.
Many local police departments and sheriff's departments now have these things.
Why don't you put one or two Secret Service guys on watch to actually do surveillance of the perimeter as you go?
This gives you a cheap, very reliable aviation asset that you can use flare, you can use infrared, you can detect body heat rapidly in a situation like this.
You could put them out there and just track people in random.
By the way, there's no presumption of privacy if you're in public.
This guy was moving around.
You could have spotted him.
You could have put him under some level of persistent surveillance early, especially if he was hanging around for 12 hours.
So, again, my question becomes both.
Why weren't sufficient, adequate, and effective security measures in place to prevent a threat from being close?
And why wasn't the threat identified And rapidly acted upon once it was there.
Those are two parts of the sandwich, which we still don't know why they didn't come together.
But I think we're going to come to find again.
There's purposeful incompetence afoot by those in power who are at DHS are trying to make it easy for someone like this guy to get in close.
Just receiving some information here, talking about the scope, talking about how potentially it was put together.
And it certainly, by the way, Tony, just let's talk range here for a minute.
So with the AK, we're told President Trump was 300 to 500 yards away.
I think the 500 yards, that's probably beyond the range of an AK-47.
But at 300 yards, you're kind of starting to hit the upper limit there.
You are potentially getting into that window.
Look, I was taught as an Army guy.
You Navy guys aren't trained in this.
Sorry, Jack.
But we're trained to be able to hit things out to about 300 meters with an AR.
And by the way, I was with my girlfriend at her Navy qualification on Saturday, Jack.
So I was happily amused at the Navy AR qualification, just saying.
Anyway, not to get into service with rivals.
Very cute, very cute.
Hey, hey, some of us, we could talk about some of the range.
I'll see you on the range, Tony.
I'll put it that way.
I'll see you on the range.
Anyway, my point being is that 300 meters is not beyond the pale for most soldiers.
Soldiers are taught to hit things, like army guys, with iron sights out to about 300 meters as part of a qualification with an AR.
So I'm just saying that 300 meters is an adequate shot for someone to take.
Not to say they would have hit Trump, but I'm just saying that that becomes something doable, especially with some sort of a red dot or scope on a weapon that goes beyond iron sights.
He would have been within range of potentially striking the former president.
Tony, what should President Trump be doing now going forward to maintain a higher security posture?
Taking our advice.
Multiple groups of us, to include me, have said you need to enhance your security.
Go beyond.
Don't just go what the Secret Service gives you.
Do things that allow competent folks, like certain folks I know on my team, We've said there's things that you need to take under your own control, under personal control, because they are not done.
Jack, I, you know, Dan Bongino went on the record, predicted something else would happen.
We've said we thought something else would happen.
They're going, as Kamala Harris's numbers tank, they're going to get more and more desperate to do something to prevent Trump making it to the 5th of November.
So, President Trump, if you're listening, you need to do something.
Take the, you know, we love you.
Take our advice.
Take your personal security into your own hands.
Help get some folks in who can help enhance things with or without the Secret Service.
Because, sorry, you cannot trust the Joe Biden, Kamala Harris administration.
Period.
Tony, where can people go to contact you and get more information?
Projectsentral.com and they can track me on Twitter with you.
So thanks for having me, Jack.
It's always great to be here and talk about these important issues.
Appreciate it, Tony.
Appreciate your expertise.
Eric Prince joins us next, folks.

I'm sorry.
Where's Jack?
Where is he?

What a job you do.
You know, we have an incredible thing.
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys should be getting Pulitzer's.
Alright, Jack Persaud back live, Cuban Events Daily.
Folks, the world is in flames.
Kamala Harris, we know, is a complete and total disaster.
Can't and will not ruin my day.

too soon to give your mom and those close to your heart to get the being awake not woke with blackout coffee that's blackoutcoffee.com slash pozo blackoutcoffee.com slash pozo folks we've got eric prince joining us now eric saw your interview with benny yesterday i wanted to get your thoughts as they currently stand on the second trump assassination attempt you know jack
it's just an indication of a very sick uh group of federal agencies that are run by unserious people that are incapable of getting a job done um We got lucky yesterday.
This guy was laying there for 12 hours, built his final firing position, put the ballistic plates on the fence with his rifle in between and a GoPro.
Why?
Because he was trophy hunting.
He was trophy hunting because he wanted to be the man to kill Donald Trump and be the hero of all these crazy left-wing people of the Democratic Party.
It's disgusting.
And he never should have been anywhere near that close.
By my math, he was waiting for him to approach the fifth pole of the golf course, which is in the northeast corner of the property.
So the closest he could have gotten and still had a clear line of sight is about 150 yards.
Plenty.
Plenty within the range of an SKS with a scope on it.
It's just unbelievable that the advanced guys got four shots off at him, didn't hit him, clearly, and he ran away.
The real heroes of the day are local law enforcement that quickly ran the plate through the automated plate readers on the highway, took the helicopter, and local law enforcement stopped him on I-95.
They are the heroes.
When I got vocal yesterday, I was demanding for DeSantis to take over the investigation and not even turn this guy over to the feds.
Keep control of his electronics, because as the feds did in Butler, Pennsylvania, as they go through everything, all this stuff will disappear into a memory hole.
The state of Florida has a vested interest in not having political murder committed in the state, and the federal government clearly does not have the capability to see this through.
The special agent in charge of the FBI Miami office is the same guy that they had to instruct him to scrub his social media history before they could appoint him to be the SAC of Miami.
Why?
Because he was so virulently anti-Trump.
This is the guy that served the warrant on the bogus documents case in Mar-a-Lago against Trump.
Do you think he's going to do an honest investigation of this clown that tried to kill him?
No.
I'm hoping DeSantis really flexes up and asserts some states' rights and makes sure this nonsense ends now.
Eric, I have to ask you, as someone who is intimately knowledgeable about foreign fighter flow, about TTP flow, this information about how this individual, Ryan Wesley Routh, was apparently involved with some of these Ukrainian foreign fighter units, that whole hornet's nest of very competing agencies, civilians, veterans, etc.
Chaos.
I've asked some people that I know that were involved in Ukraine, involved in the Afghan refugee stuff, and they had heard the name, and when they were encountering him, they thought he was crazy and just kind of a loon.
I know he claimed to be part of the foreign legion fighting in Ukraine, but I don't think he was because he was rejected due to lack of any kind of actual skill set.
I think whether it was making the Afghan evacuation his mission and then Ukraine became his mission and now this became his mission to destroy Donald Trump on behalf of the left.
This is how they had to self-actualize.
This is why the dangerous Actual rhetoric of the left saying Donald Trump is Hitler, that he must be eliminated, destroyed, prevented from ever taking office, all these very clear code words, not even code word, very graphic word, describing basically unleashing any, by any and all means, to stop Donald Trump, right?
Tucker Carlson was right.
They tried lawfare, they tried restricting, taking him off the ballot, They're going to try to kill him.
Now they try to do it twice.
The question is, who's been fired from the Secret Service?
What have they actually done to greatly dial up the coverage?
I would say clearly, not anywhere near enough.
You know, there's a lot of talk about people saying, well, you know, you should put private guys in to protect Trump.
That's an exceedingly difficult piece to do, especially for the private guys, because they will always get thrown under the bus by the federal government.
What they can do is they could even second some very high-end JSOC capability.
There's plenty of people at Delta, plenty of people at SEAL Team 6 that have all kinds of training, truly the finest hunters and shooters in the world.
Put them on the advanced team, let them be the outer perimeter, and there will be nothing getting anywhere near Donald Trump that doesn't belong there.
Because you have to come at this with a predator's perspective.
You have to say, how am I going to hunt?
Kill Donald Trump, find those 10 ways, block every one of them, and then re-look at it every time.
Because we have to be lucky every day, the bad guys only have to be lucky once.
And they were very close to being lucky.
In Butler, Pennsylvania, fortunately this jackass didn't get any shots off yesterday.
Secret Service did, but they didn't hit him.
Four times.
Sad.
Do you think it's possible that they weren't able to hit him because of this makeshift body armor, these ceramic tiles that he had up against the fence?
I don't know.
So that picture doesn't look like those would have been hit.
Because, you know, well, who knows?
Coming through brush.
Unless they were hung back up.
5-5-6 round.
But, you know, a plate that's been struck by a rifle round definitely has some deformation.
So I don't know.
That's right.
So, again, it's a situation where you've got tactics that this guy... That being said, those type of tactics, using makeshift ceramic plates like this, using these type of tiles as body armor, setting up a hide site like that with a guy who's never served in the military, is that the type of thing that you would expect a civilian to do?
Or do you think this actually might go back to something that he could have learned when he was in Ukraine?
I'm not sure, but the biggest issue is, how did this guy, who was originally from North Carolina, and lives in Hawaii, decided to come to West Palm Beach, Florida, and hang out in a final firing position for 12 hours and still get away and get to a car.
Thank God local law enforcement, acting on a call-in after the shots were fired and seeing a guy fleeing, a witness took a picture of the car, had the license plate.
Again, the heroes are the sheriff.
Secret Service.
Not so much.
And again, this is a situation where President Trump had had this level of advanced security we were talking about.
Tony Schafer was just on here a moment ago.
We were talking about drones are highly capable now.
You've of course talked about that when we had you on last.
One drone with an infrared or some kind of FLIR would easily have been able to spot anyone hiding in the woods like this.
This guy would have lit up like a Christmas tree on infrared.
Absolutely.
Look, a good clear camera will spot less than a half a degree of temperature difference.
So yes, a 98.6 man laying on a 70 degree ground, you're right.
Like a Christmas tree.
Very, very obvious.
Very, very obvious.
The profile will be very obvious.
There's no question.
FLIR is for looking infrared.
So yeah, you deploy a drone like that, which many of which are now commercially available, easily would have found him.
Eric Prince, we're walking through the TTPs and the situation with the second Trump assassination.
Stay here.
Human events.
"The Bulletproof Project" continues. - They're eating the cats, Eat the cat!
They're eating the dogs!
They're eating the cats.
Eat the cat.
Eat the cat.
They're eating the cats.
They're eating the dogs.
Eat the cat.
All right, Jack Posovic back live here.
Human events daily.
I didn't know that I'd be playing the Eat the Cat Bumper with Eric Prince the day after the second Trump assassination, but here we are.
Eric, you know, we've got 50 days now between now and the election.
I think two weeks from tomorrow, specifically early ballots are going to be going out.
Look, we know President Trump is going to be on the campaign trail.
I don't think anyone's going to stop him from doing these rallies, and I certainly don't think he's going to stop golfing either.
What should we look for in the next coming days?
I just want to make the point that Trump wanted to finish that golf hole.
I heard that too!
That's the man that loves golf.
And he's quite good at it.
And I'm sure, by the way, he's going to try to do it the next chance he gets.
But you know, the sad thing is the fact that they attacked him on a golf course, I would imagine that was his happy place.
That was a place he could go and clear his head.
And now every time he's rounding a corner and sees a tree line, he's going to think, is there some jackass laying there to shoot some Democrat?
So, um, look, it's, we have a very dangerous situation there.
As Trump boldly and proudly posted, they're 0-2, but they're 0-2 with idiots.
A professional team, a six or eight or ten man squad coming after him, could be a very, very different outcome.
And we must prevent that.
And I hope, you said Trump is supposed to be meeting with the current acting director today?
Right, and we do have breaking from RealClearPolitics.
I know I said that in the break, I don't know if I said it on air yet, but we are hearing that acting director Ron Rowe is going to be coming down to Mar-a-Lago at some point today and meeting with President Trump.
But Eric, given what you said publicly, do you think, do you have confidence in Ron Rowe's ability to keep President Trump safe?
Look, Josh Hawley, Senator Hawley just released a memo, a whistleblower, Talking about DHS agents that were in Butler, Pennsylvania, had no formal training in executive protection, but it only attended a two-hour Zoom lecture of how to do executive protection.
This is not, I can't even believe that.
These are not serious people.
If you're putting people with no training and, you know, a DHS, um, The HSI agent is basically just ICE agents that are rebad.
So they don't have a lot of practical proficiency training.
And now they're going to be rebranded, re-wrapped as executive protection agents because they went to a two-hour Zoom course?
It's just not serious.
It's a joke.
And so the fact that people in those positions that made that decision, put them there, are still in those positions,
is a just a disgusting unsustainable uh it's embarrassing it's embarrassing but it's worse than that because literally lives are in danger firemen died in butler pennsylvania because they're incompetent um trump could have died yesterday um and and what is it going to take to actually break through this this For me, it's not just the Secret Service that has this problem.
It's every federal agency because you have such bloat, such a lack of accountability, such arrogance of federal officials that they don't care because they just think, what are you going to do, Congress?
You're not going to cut my budget.
You can't do anything to me.
It's the big F you to the American people.
That must be fixed.
Look, and we've got a continuing resolution coming up in just two weeks here, something where if you want to do something pre-election, by the way, when it comes to presidential security, now I was hoping that they would get the SAVE Act put in, but I don't see any real traction on that.
You would think that there would be a bipartisan push at the very barest minimum to have full presidential level protection for Donald Trump and some type of reform to the situation that's going on because they're just they're taking pot shots at the president while he keeps running both in the media and now uh physically in real life this has got to stop and they've got two more weeks to be able to do
so i hope uh trump's creative lawyers have a uh a clever way of coming after anybody that's saying things that are inciting that kind of violence um dragging them into court making them respond to that um uh their incitement that it literally had consequences um
Um, and perhaps, uh, even joining that with the, the family of the fireman killed in Butler, Pennsylvania, uh, getting them even any dollar of compensation due to the Democrats incitement would be a good day.
It's as simple as that, folks.
It's as simple as that.
We understand what's going on.
We understand the incitement.
And of course, the media is still sitting up there trying to pin this on Trump, saying, oh, he's the one who incited political rhetoric, and he brought up Springfield, and that's actually what the Eat the Cats thing is from.
It's all his fault.
He brought this on himself.
It's ridiculous, and it's absurd on its face.
It's also absurd on his face that, and Eric, I'll ask you this question I should have asked before.
Do you think this guy could have done all this by himself?
Apparently, Florida doesn't think he bought that rifle in Florida. - Yeah.
A. B. The biggest issue is what put him in that location.
C. His getaway vehicle was a stolen car.
Stealing cars is not a beginner level skill.
Did he carjack somebody for it, or did he hotwire it, or did he defeat the ignition lock?
That's a good question.
So, that's why I want the state, Florida State Bureau of Investigation, all over this thing, because I don't trust the feds to get all the nuance of the detail of who helped him, who communicated with him, who provided him that targeting information, where to get the body armor from, All those things.
I doubt that he flew with a semi-automatic rifle.
You have to log it in when you check it.
So there's a lot of unknowns that need to be known soon.
And like we expected we would have known from the Butler, Pennsylvania attack, we know nothing of it because the feds have tried to memory hole it and just imagine that it never happened.
Well, Eric, we're not going to let that happen because we've got the Bulletproof Project going right now.
People can go to orderbulletproof.com and they can find out more and more as it comes out in our investigation.
Eric, where can people go to follow you, man?
I'm at Real Eric D. Prince.
All right, folks, go give Eric Prince a follow.
He's going to shoot straight because Eric Prince doesn't miss.
