Mayor Adams, good luck with everything.
They went after you.
They went after you, Mayor.
Oh, boy, I knew that.
Nine and a half months ago, I said, you know, he just said something about the administration.
He's going to be indicted any moment.
And guess what happened?
But you're going to win.
I think you're going to win.
I know you're going to win.
So good luck.
It's a true pleasure to be with you this evening.
Amazing pleasure.
And these days, it's really a pleasure anywhere in New York without a subpoena for my appearance.
Anytime I don't get a subpoena, I'm very happy.
They've gone after me, Mr. Mayor.
You're peanuts compared to what they've done to me.
And you're going to be okay.
My opponent feels like she does not have to be here, which is deeply disrespectful.
To the event and in particular to our great Catholic community.
Very disrespectful.
The last Democrat not to attend this important event was Walter Mondale and it did not go very well for him.
He lost 49 states and he won one.
Minnesota. Catholic Church, you're helping the poor, educating children, and supporting the vulnerable.
But if you really wanted Vice President Harris to accept your invitation, I guess you should have told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in Minneapolis, and she would have been here, guaranteed.
She would have been here.
Guaranteed. This is my supercut piece.
She would have been okay.
She would have been okay.
Just making sure we're live everywhere.
All polls are indicating I'm leading big with the Catholic vote, as I should be, as I should be.
But I don't think Kamala has given up yet.
She hasn't.
Instead of attending tonight, she's in Michigan receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer.
That's not a pretty sight.
But the truth is I've debated twice this year, once against Joe Biden and once against David Muir of ABC.
But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how woke your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president.
Classic. There's a group called White Dudes for Harris.
Have you seen this?
White Dudes for Harris.
Anybody know?
Are some of you here?
White Dudes for Harris.
Doesn't sound like it.
But I'm not worried about them at all because their wives and their wives' lovers are all voting for me.
Every one of those people is voting for me.
Tradition hauls that I'm supposed to tell a few self-deprecating jokes this evening.
So here it goes.
Nope. I've got nothing.
I'm going to stop it here.
I'm not crazy.
I might be crazy, but I'm not wrong.
Jim Gaffigan hosted the Al Smith dinner last night, and I remembered Jim Gaffigan had a wild Trump derangement syndrome meltdown.
And I'm not wrong.
The fix is in.
Well, let me ask you this.
Any comedian would look at that and go, alright, so somebody in the Justice Department was like, he donated a lot to our people, let's make this go away.
But here's a question I have.
So there is that level of corruption, but...
Do you look at that level of corruption and see it as equal to what Trump has been repeatedly busted as?
Do you see those as equal, or do you see that as...
Because I wonder if...
To me, it's like...
Can't get it together.
The indictments against Trump, I'm like, it's going to keep going.
There's going to be more things.
Whereas, like, this is...
Okay, we don't need to listen to it.
I just thought it was very interesting that it was Jim Gaffigan hosting the event last night.
The Al Smith dinner.
If you haven't seen Trump's entire speech, you've got to go see it.
I'm sure everybody's been watching the same highlights.
Because there were classic ones.
What did he say about Tampon Tim?
He said Tampon Tim didn't show up either, but don't worry, he'll tell people he did.
Great. I mean, obviously, he has people writing these jokes for him, I would presume.
Good humor.
Good delivery.
Deadpan. Good timing.
And yeah, you look at Chuck Schumer there.
I was watching Chuck Schumer's face the entire time.
Leticia James was there.
I mean, you got the who's who of people who are corruptly trying to take down Trump.
And Kamala Harris doesn't even show up.
And it's worse than not even showing up.
Not showing up is an insult in and of itself.
She sends in a video.
And in her video, she has that jackass buffoon doing the skit.
When I get nervous, I like to stick my fingers in my armpits and smell them.
What's the idiot cheerleader?
I forget her name.
Not Sherry O'Terry.
Doesn't really matter what her name is.
She sends in a humorless, arrogant, like she's too holy to attend the Al Smith dinner at the invitation of the Archbishop.
I'm not sure the names of the players in this for obvious reasons.
But she doesn't show up.
Sends a video.
And Trump roasted her.
Trump roasted all of the naysayers.
And his delivery was amazing.
And these jackasses out on the internet this morning trying to make it look like Trump is somehow senile.
Oh, look at that.
He paused here.
He can't even do his reading.
You dumb bum.
Do you not know what delivery is of a joke?
She has the...
He says, we've got someone in the White House now who's got the mental faculties of a child.
Can't get out a sentence.
Really, it's terrible.
Mental fact is a child.
But enough about Kamala Harris.
Let's talk about Joe.
It was absolutely glorious.
Go check it out, people.
Good afternoon.
First of all, it's an amazing show.
Anytime Jack Pasoba comes on, it's an amazing show.
I love Jack in the Plutonic professional sense.
He's amazing.
He's written a new book called Bulletproof, which delves in...
I haven't gotten...
I mean, I can't pretend that I've gotten through the whole thing, but I think I know...
Everything that's in that book because I lived through it and I was paying attention to it and I just find it amazing how Jack has memorialized the events of the Butler failed assassination attempt so quickly, delves into an amazing detail, puts out three hypotheses as to what is the most likely narrative, so to speak, to explain away what happened and we're going to talk about it and a bunch of other things.
But before we even get into any of that, let's thank our sponsors for the show, by the way.
You know, they accuse Trump of being tired and not being a man.
I'll tell you one thing.
If Trump isn't taking be-naked organs, can you imagine what this guy...
Like, oh, he looks tired.
Motherf! If he's not tired, he's superhuman.
I'm tired from just, you know, being a parent and trying to do this daily and walk dogs and live life.
But bottom line, there's a lot of low testosterone men out there.
Tim Walls, I'm not looking at you.
These days, it seems like society wants to turn men into soft tofu-eating cuddle machines.
Testosterone levels are tanking and the world is pushing out weak, hand-holding agendas.
For those types of men.
But if you're the kind of guy who'd rather wrestle a bear than sip a soy latte, you need naked organs.
This isn't some lab-made potion from the land of participation trophies.
It's 100% pure bison organs, liver, kidney, heart, the kind of stuff that puts hair on your granddad's chest, packed with B12 iron and zinc.
It's the antidote to low T, which is short form for low testosterone, and all the nonsense out there.
Keep your testosterone high and your masculinity unapologetic.

And the other thing that I also just got my reload on this week was 1775 Coffee People, another Rumble partner.
Most K-Cup pods, those little things you stick in the machines, I don't even want to name the competition, but I will.
They suck.
You don't know what's in it.
Low quality beans, mold, pesticides in a sealed plastic container that keeps it a guessing game.
Studies show these contaminants are a big problem in mass-produced coffee and roasting doesn't burn them off.
They're still in your cup.

1775. Both links are in the description, in addition to a link to Jack's book.
Oh, lordy.
It's an amazing thing.
We're going to have to talk about it very briefly.
If you trust the government, you're an idiot.
Period. Now, people are going to say, viva, but you trust Donald Trump, or you would trust Donald Trump if he comes into position of power again.
I would say, yes, I would, because that's an individual.
With something of a history, but that doesn't mean that I would just gobble down anything that comes out of any administration, period, full stop.
That being said, I know that Joe Biden and his administration under Kamala Harris are confirmed liars.
And I know all of you TDS afflicted soy boys out there, but Trump is a convicted, he's a proven liar too.
They have a fact check of 26,000 lies.
Bullshit and enough of it.
If you trust the government, you are an idiot.
And we're going to get into it today with Jack.
The latest, I mean, I put out the tweet and it's almost a joke.
And then as I'm sitting there, it's like, how long do I want this tweet to be?
The COVID shop is safe and effective.
Whoops! It doesn't prevent transmission.
We were moving at the speed of science.
And it causes myocarditis at increasingly high rates among certain age demographics.
There is no inflation coming out of Janet Yellen's mouth.
Oh, wait a minute.
There is inflation, but it's transitory.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
It's permanent, but it's Putin's inflation.
Crime is down, said the FBI.
Six months ago.
Don't worry, I got a couple of tweets here.
Whoops. Crime is up.
Someone said you should have put the job reports in there.
Oh, jobs are up.
Oh, whoops, they're down.
They had to reduce the number by 818,000 jobs from their initial report.
It's report then revised, apparently seems to be the MO.
That one might have been good enough, but not quite, because it's got to be the actual inverse.
It's not, oh, it's not as high as we said it was.
It's, oh, it's the opposite of what we said it was.
Crime is up.
Whoops, crime is down.
Russia just bombed and killed two civilian farmers in Poland.
We need to invoke Article 5 and go, oh, no, sorry, that was Ukraine that did that.
Someone said also Russia bombed the Nord Stream pipeline.
Whoops, that was Ukraine.
Whoops, that was the US.
And Biden's good for another four years.
Whoops, Biden is withdrawing.
I'm going to just pull up one tweet here because it's still up!
Is it still up or is it?
For goodness sake, it's not.
I didn't bring it in the backdrop.
It doesn't matter.
I see Jack in the backdrop.
Go and look up Pete Booty Booty Jed Jed tweets from three months ago.
Crime is down, people.
Oh, I know it's all political.
No, I have to bring it up.
It's too good not to bring it up.
Crime is down.
And anybody who says otherwise, it's politics.
Oh, that's right.
Forget it.
I'm not doing it.
Jack's in the back.
Jack, are you ready to come in, sir?
He's ready.
All right.
Go look at it.
The tweets are still up.
Two of them.
Crime is down.
And it's all political if you don't believe it.
Jack Posobiec.
Sir, how goes the battle?
What's going on, Viva?
How are you, man?
I just saw you talking about Pete Buttigieg there.
And it really was incredible that it was just like this idea that, oh, crime is down.
You could just say it over and over.
And this is what you get when you have Pete Buttigieg, who is one of these like McKenzie corporate CIA cutout type candidates who they're not.
Like it's not like you're dealing with an actual person when you talk to them.
You're just dealing with an appendage.
Of the apparatus, if you will.
You're dealing with an appendage of the machine.
He's just latched himself on like one of those moray eels latches themselves onto a shark.
And that's sort of how he exists in the wider machine of things.
Those are, by the way, so no one fact checks you.
Those are remora fish, not moray eels.
Excuse me, remoras, remoras, remoras, gosh.
Yeah, remoras.
This is the tweet.
Some here don't deny the FBI data showing crime is down.
This was from September 24th.
I mean, it's not a month ago.
It's again, he is the system, right?
He's a Remora.
He's attached himself to the shark.
And whatever they pass down passes through him.
And then when the FBI goes back...
To update their language, well, then, you know, suddenly all the tweets stop.
Suddenly the tweets aren't even out there.
They've stealth edited it and he's on to the next thing.
This was the same guy, by the way, who kept telling everybody that the water was safe in East Palestine.
And then people were going around saying, OK, well, we brought some water from East Palestine.
Would you like a drink?
Would you like a sip?
Here, have a sip.
Just drink the water.
Go ahead, drink the water.
And of course, not a single one of them ever would.
You have to realize they're not, they're just, they're just, they are part of the system.
You're just talking to the system.
And what he'll say is, I was just relying on the experts at the time as if that worked for COVID, that worked for masks, that worked for this.
And no, drink the water out of East Palestine.
The air is safe over 9-11.
It's just one person after another.
What's the other one there?
You got Flint, Michigan.
Jack, we talked about this.
I mean, I just want to refresh everybody's memory.
So your experience in intelligence, because it's not irrelevant for everything that you do in life, your assessments, your knowledge base and your experience base.
For those who may not know, don't go into too much detail, but what was your intelligence military experience for the U.S. government?
Sure. So I worked as an intelligence analyst.
So I started as an IS and enlisted in the Navy and then went on to the officer side as well.
So I went from E5, put on my butter bar for those who know what that means, and then went in.
And conducted multiple deployments, predominantly through ONI and DIA of the three-letter agencies, so Office of Naval Intelligence and Defense Intelligence Agency, in various capacities, mostly to East Asia, but then also one deployment for about a year down at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as a counterterrorism analyst and actually working in the interrogation cell at Guantanamo.
And actually, when I was doing that, that was through Guantanamo.
My time there was a DIA mission.
And for folks in the movement, it's kind of interesting that when I was in DIA and when I was at Guantanamo, the head of the DIA then, the director, was three-star General Michael T. Flynn.
So I remember General Flynn as being the head of the agency when you were there.
And this is the D.C. agency for DIA before.
We went down to Gitmo.
He'd be there for training and stuff at Balling Air Force Base, the same place where they have Marine One and the President's Marine helicopter aircraft, the Sea Kings, that squadron.
I still remember General Flynn as being like, he walks by the hallway and you...
Go to attention real fast because, hey, the general's coming in, or if he steps on the elevator, you know, you turn two, you pop up.
And so it's just always been very interesting for me to get to know him personally now, you know, through the movement and doing shows together.
But in my head, I still really think of him as the director.
But yeah, so I did a lot of those deployments.
Yeah, like I said, mostly East Asia, a little bit down in Guantanamo Bay in the counterterrorism world, have worked with special forces.
And various capacities as well for different operations and, you know, really predominantly on the, you know, collection side as well as the analysis side for intelligence.
Obviously, I have to be a little bit vague, but that's, you know, that's what I did for almost a decade of my life.
It's amazing because it offers trustworthiness to some extent, although some people say...
Once intelligence, always...
Oh, POSO is a Fed.
You know, once CIA, always CIA.
I was never CIA.
I've been to the CIA.
I've been to the old building and the new building over at Langley.
And I've worked with the CIA pukes.
And, you know, but I was never...
I've been to all the three-letter agencies that you could think of.
NSA and Fort Meade.
And I've been down to NGIC.
And I've been to NGA.
And that's where, you know, they do the imagery.
I've been to, you know...
I've been today at Jager Hoover Building and worked with FBI in a variety of capacities and yeah, those guys are just...
Oh man, talk about jarheads.
Well, when you start doing this, when you start becoming part of a movement that is sort of outing the agencies in which you worked, do you lose your contacts or are you able to maintain some so that you have better in trouble?
Yeah, it's a little of both.
I mean, you certainly get, you know, I think officially they hate me and have denounced me and, you know, all that stuff.
And, you know, one of the reasons that I'm not there is I was filing whistleblower reports even before I left.
And they didn't take too kindly to that.
And then, of course, as you can imagine, being in the intelligence community in 2016 was not a good place to be a Trump supporter.
And so they came after me the same way they came after President Trump and so many more.
I don't even really talk about it because it's just nothing compared to what they did to so many other more high-profile cases.
But that being said, There are still people that will come up to me at events and then we'll trade contact info and they say, look, man, we're pulling for you.
We got our heads down and we see what you're doing out there and we really support you.
The one thing that I do hear, by the way, from folks that I have, and I still have friends, by the way, who stayed in and that kind of thing, but the one thing that I do hear from people more than anything else is that it's gotten 10 times worse since I left in 2019, and it's just gotten so, so, so much worse.
It's supposed to be something of an ideological purge so that these agencies serve at the behest of, if you want to call it the Democrat Party or the Uniparty, that they basically...
Cleanse out and purge out everybody who would be a dissenting voice or at least a responsible voice.
So Jack, we're going to get into this now because I've got so many flipping questions.
You and Joshua Lysak wrote this book.
First of all, I don't know how you write books.
Not so quickly because it's not to say that it's...
We lived through it and I'm reading through this and I didn't get through the whole thing, but I realized I know everything in that book because I was following it, but I've got my questions that I think you're going to be able to answer.
How do you get started?
How long did it take?
And then I want some details because there's some stuff that I...
So for this book, and there is, by the way, once you get to the final couple chapters and the independent report that we conducted, you'll realize that, wait a minute, that this is stuff that I haven't heard before regarding other individuals and Thomas Matthew Crooks and others.
But when Joshua and I put it together, so basically, people remember we were doing our other book, Unhumans, and it was this anti-communist book.
And it did very well.
It went New York Times and we're very...
I'm very blessed with that, that all of a sudden, as we were even sort of in the press tour for that book...
Somebody takes a shot at Donald Trump and almost takes his head off on live television on July 13, 2024 at 6.11 p.m.
And then again on September 15, you have this other situation with this guy who's a Ukrainian foreign fighter that was directly tied to – we actually were the ones who tied him directly to the Azov Battalion.
We were the ones who broke that story in the course of researching this book.
And I can talk about that more later.
I'm going to ask if he ever got sued by a certain individual when we get there in a bit.
No, I did not, by the way.
And he would love to try to, but no, no, I did not.
By the way, please do, because I'd love to have my lawyer's fees come down.
And I'll just say it, right?
Malcolm Nance said that he was going to sue me for saying that he was associated with Ryan Wesley Routh.
Well, first of all...
I'm not the one who associated you with Ryan Wesley Ralph.
The New York Times was.
And the fact that he was a Ukrainian foreign fighter and you were an Ukrainian foreign fighter.
In Kiev, co-located at the same time is what makes you associated, actually.
Now, you could say that he might not have been your specific unit or something like that, but come on, we all know the truth here.
And then this is also why then Malcolm Nance had to write this big op-ed, I think in the Washington Post, talking about how, oh, I never had anything to do with that guy.
Yeah, me think the lady does protest too much, which, by the way, you know, if he wants to do that, then...
By all means, because that means that I would get discovery into all of the official correspondence of the entire Ukrainian Foreign Legion.
And I would find out everyone who is directly associated with Ukrainian foreign fighters and Ryan Wesley Routh.
So please do.
I would love to see the discovery in all of that.
This is from the...
I went to the archive link of the New York Times article, but this is it.
Yeah, it's right there.
And let me see here, because Routh is in here.
There you go.
It's the next paragraph!
So check this out.
I remember it at the time, and I was like, oh, this is juicy.
Nance, this is the guy who...
What was he saying when he was in Ukraine?
Was he saying incoming or timer?
Standby. Standby.
Fast movers.
I've never seen a fast mover before.
Which, by the way, fast movers actually refers to jets.
And this was obviously a missile.
By the way, Malcolm Nance was a linguist when he was in the Navy.
He was not an intelligence analyst or an intelligence officer.
He was actually a linguist and not a very good one because he was essentially pushed out of his command.
People realized that they didn't want him doing his job.
They also realized he was not very bright.
And so he was actually kicked out of the skiff.
And people know the skiff is the...
Secure compartmentalized intelligence facility.
And so, yeah, that he was kicked out of that and said, you know, we're just going to give you some administrative duties, Malcolm.
And he was one of these types that would sort of like put himself in for awards and this type of thing.
but because he had this sort of woke quotient to him and a lot of woke supporters and he had the right politics, they couldn't do anything about him.
They couldn't kick him out and they sort of just sort of passed him around from place to place.
And so he trades on this and it's amazing too that he will, I didn't think we were going to be talking about Malcolm, but here we are.
Stand by Malcolm!
He tells people that he was an interrogator.
He tells people that he was a Russian expert, that he was a human expert, a human intelligence expert.
He tells people that he was an ISIS expert.
And then, of course, he's also a domestic extremism expert.
I'm like, that's incredible.
I've never met anyone with that career track.
Tell me how it was that you became a subject matter expert in all of those fields when no one else has ever had a career track like that, Malcolm.
I mean, you obviously aren't just making all of this up.
No comment.
I just thought, I remember when this happened and they discovered that Ruth was deeply tied to Ukraine recruiting, doing interviews two years ago.
We'll get back to Ruth, actually, as this progresses.
But you were asking me how we wrote the book, and, you know, it was the question before we digressed, but I blame that on you.
And that, and my own ADHD.
It's going to happen time and time again, don't worry.
Sure, but no, it was basically, funny enough, so Joshua reached out to me.
I said, Jack, we should write a book about this.
And I said, you're crazy.
You're crazy.
We don't have time.
There's no way.
We just did one book.
The book did really well.
Why would we put ourselves through that torture and suffering yet again, especially with the election looming and all of this?
And he said, Jack, it's just too important.
I think we have to do this.
And I was like, well, all right.
Let's see if we can.
And then I get a message from Tony Lyons, who is the publisher of Skyhorse.
And he goes, Jack, you and Joshua should do another book.
And I'm like, man, I've got all of this.
And it happened.
I said, you know what?
We're just going to do it.
So it was a lot of sleepless nights.
And we wrote it over the course of about a month.
And I'm in the process of recording the audiobook right now and just putting kind of the finishing touches on the audiobook version for Bulletproof.
And that was one of the things that one of the notes that we got back from the previous book that we had done together was People were saying, hey, how come you didn't do the audiobook yourself?
Why didn't you read it?
And I said, well, you know, we kind of contracted it out.
It was just faster.
And people said, no, no, no, we want you to do it.
So we did do it for this one.
However, there's a little bit of an Easter egg in the audiobook for folks.
Well, Vivo, let me ask you.
You said you're an audiobook guy.
Is that right?
I'm only audiobook.
That's my problem.
Yeah, I remember talking about this.
So you said you were an audiobook guy.
And I explained that I couldn't give it to you because it's not done yet.
I could give you like 80% of it, but it's just literally not finished.
But as an Easter egg, so I did do the entire book.
However, there's one chapter that is not done by me directly.
Because I just kind of wanted to see if – I don't know.
I'm kind of a technophile in many ways.
You did an AI-generated voice.
I did an AI-generated voice of myself.
So I took all of the chapters that I had read and then I said, let me just see if I can do this.
And I go over to AI, cloned my voice.
Fantastic clone.
And then I just sort of teased it out to get the inflections right.
And we do have one chapter of the audiobook is actually an AI version of me, but I'm not telling anyone which one it is.
I guarantee if people can guess.
I guarantee you I'll be able to get it without a question.
Dude, I ran this by my wife and she couldn't even tell.
Wow. I ran this by my wife who knows me better than anyone and she couldn't tell.
We've got to get into the details of this, because the book goes into meticulous detail.
We all lived through it, and so those who did are aware of this.
Some fact versus fiction.
The first question is, how many official recognized assassination attempts have there been on Trump?
Because people say up to four now, there was an Iranian guy back in 2016.
It might not have been Iranian, I'm sorry.
There was an attempt back in 2016 at a Vegas rally.
Do you know how many official...
Yeah, and we actually – we include that in the book.
There was one in Vegas and another one in Dayton, Ohio where it was – both were situations where someone tried to rush the stage.
And in one of the situations, the man even – it was the biggest one – the man actually attempted to grab the firearm from a Secret Service officer and then rush the stage with it.
So arm themselves with the Secret Service firearm and then rush the stage, use the firearm to then kill President Trump.
Obviously, they were both stopped.
In fact, the gentleman – gentlemen – the individual in the Dayton situation was later profiled and interviewed by CNN and given this incredible puff piece by CNN where they – Put him on air, right?
By the way, this is the same CNN who, when you watch these Gerdusky clips right now, when he goes on the panels, they'll say, oh, Donald Trump is trying to go after his enemies.
Donald Trump is going after his opponent.
He's going to do this.
Kamala Harris was saying it with Brett Baier the other day.
And I say, wait a minute.
When I want to talk to Steve Bannon right now, who I do talk to on a regular basis, I have to do so through a DOJ-approved email app with Merrick Garland's thugs looking over my shoulder because Donald Trump's chief strategist is currently in jail right now.
Then CNN is the same network that took a guy who tried to rush the stage at the Dayton, Ohio rally and potentially kill or at least injure Donald Trump and they put him on And so we run through a lot of this, a lot of the culpability that we believe the media and the establishment have had over the years, and we detail those throughout the book.
So when we talk about assassination attempts, I think largely, and President Trump has mentioned in a couple of interviews recently, he's done so many, I couldn't even tell you which one it was, but he mentioned two.
So in his mind, There were two that involved instances where there was an individual waiting out with a sniper rifle.
One instance, of course, Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th attempts to take out Trump later than it does, by the way, murder Corey Campatore.
And the book is dedicated, of course, to Corey and actually met his family at the second Butler rally.
And his family deserves answers, I think, more than anyone, by the way.
And then the second, of course, being September 15th at the West Palm Beach.
Golf Club, where you have this, as we were talking about before, mentioned Ryan Wesley Routh, who was waiting at the sixth hole while President Trump was already at the fifth green.
So what was one hole away from having President just a couple hundred yards from within range of his SKS Kalashnikov rifle that he was lying in wait for.
So those are the two.
We also uncovered evidence and through our reporting and research for this that people need to understand that there are active assassination threats against President Trump right now that are ongoing.
And so Matt Gaetz came on my program on Human Events a couple of weeks ago now and said there are five active assassination teams that he heard of through the Department of Homeland Security.
He said three are foreign, two are domestic.
Then you have this DOJ letter.
That the DOJ releases from Ryan Wesley-Routh.
And we all know that the FBI and the DOJ are more than happy to redact letters from the public whenever they want to.
So then the flip side, you would think the inverse would have to also be true that when they want something released, they're doing so deliberately.
And the letter that they released from Ryan Wesley-Routh was with this dead man's letter that he had given to a friend saying this attempt.
Thank you.
may actually refer to the bounty that's been put out by Iran and the IRGC, the Iranian Relationary Guard Corps, On President Trump.
So I don't know that if Ralph was directly communicating with Iran or he had just heard about this through some sort of intermediary, but we've seen he was traveling between Kiev and Istanbul and Taiwan and Taipei on a sort of, you know, it almost feels like a CIA global tour of the places that they were at, even talking about Afghani foreign fighters and trying to bring them over to Ukraine, which is a classic CIA move that you would take foreign fighters that have been trained and then put...
Move them from one proxy war to another.
I mean, this goes back to the Halkion CIA days of the 1960s and 70s, knocking off regimes in the third world.
And essentially, though, something that I've also been told is that there have been other instances of threats to President Trump's motorcade as well as, and I think this one has gotten quite public, President Trump's Aircraft that people are very concerned about and things that we don't even fully know about publicly,
both involving not just suspicious individuals, but even also, believe it or not, drones, advanced drones that have been targeting both the motorcade and the aircraft.
And that's why President Trump's campaign has currently actually requested to.
The Biden administration for military escorts for their aircraft and vehicle that have this sort of anti-air missile and anti-drone technology because they are – it sounds crazy.
It sounds like wild that I'm saying this stuff.
You can go read that in The Washington Post or The New York Times that they've made these requests.
And it sounds like the Biden administration – and they gave a comment to CNN saying that they would support such requests and that he's even using decoy planes.
And we've hired our own private investigators to be looking into all of this because we don't trust the federal government.
I could talk more about that.
But this isn't something that we're just… We are getting down sort of the first draft of history of what happened, separating the fact and fiction.
But we're also dealing with something that is ongoing.
And so what we aim to do with the Bulletproof book and this iteration of it, and there's going to be more iterations as we learn more.
This is very much an ongoing investigation.
And as we dig through and penetrate the layers on this.
I believe that we will find instances of what's really going on.
These weren't just attempts.
These were failed hits.
And that's the way to look at it.
Almost like, you know, you're watching a John Wick kind of plot.
A really bad John Wick movie, by the way.
That these are failed hits and that they will not stop.
But if we can get to the bottom of what actually happened in Butler and what happened in West Palm Beach, then hopefully we can be able to stop what is going on right now.
The drone stuff is also mind-boggling because we've seen the video coming out of Russia where they're using drones to kill soldiers.
I mean, I presume there's virtually no protection aerially if someone wants to fly a drone over the golf course.
Presumably now there should be.
The question is this.
How the hell do you trust anybody in this?
How does Trump, and he was on with Bongino this morning and the question didn't come out in this form, but how do you even trust who you have been given for protective detail?
If this is, it cannot be anything but the most insidious level of corruption at the Well, one way that we view it is, and by the way, this was backed up in the New York Times panel that came out yesterday from the federal government, but it was reported in the New York Times, reported everywhere, that essentially what we're seeing is this sort of...
Intentional neglect is how we put it.
And these questions of why wasn't there – and again, this is from the New York Times yesterday.
Why wasn't there a specific site lead agent set for the Butler rally?
Why were there no agents that did a last walkthrough of the area prior to President Trump taking the stage?
Obviously, why was there no overwatch coverage of the specific AGR building that Thomas Matthew Crooks, by the way, not just crawled onto, but was jumping around from rooftop to rooftop in broad...
Daylight, you know, 6 p.m., 6.04 p.m., and I should say 6.05 p.m. because at 6.04 p.m. is when you have Officer Greg Nickel of the local SWAT team actually drops coverage, his Overwatch coverage.
So he's in the second, the higher AGR building in the sniper's nest where he's supposed to be looking down at the AGR building and then later throughout the crowd.
Leaves coverage because supposedly he hears of this suspicious individual.
But rather than wait for a local patrol to come by, he decides to take it upon himself to leave the sniper's nest, leave the window, which – and we've got the photos from the actual team.
And if you flip to the back of the book, you'll see it there.
The actual team report afterwards, the building is in full view.
The roof is in full view.
This was all.
This was a video that was circulated by, I forget which, it was a member of the government who shows up there and opens up the window and you see the roof from where the shots were taken.
I watched that and I said, that can't be right, but it is.
It's beyond anything.
Actually, just to come back to the DOJ, who was it that put out Ruth's dead man's letter?
Was that the Department of Defense?
The DOJ.
The DOJ, sorry, not the DOJ.
What non-malicious explanation is there for that?
In my mind, they suppressed the Transgender Kids Manifesto for as long as they could.
But to put this out there, it's nothing more than, and will be read as nothing but, a call to action for anybody who is so inclined.
What non-malicious, legally justified excuse could there be for them to put that out at that time totally unredacted?
I don't have one.
I couldn't tell you one.
It serves no legal purpose.
It serves no – I mean if they wanted to show that to a judge.
So the reason that they released the letter at all or at least entered the letter in court, right?
And this of course serves a legal purpose.
You would know better than me.
But the legal purpose there was to show that – because there was an issue that they were having.
That I was actually reading this, you know, kind of because this is all going to trial, by the way.
He will go to trial on November 15th, and they've pulled Judge Eileen Cannon.
And remember, this is the same judge from the Mar-a-Lago documents case, who's known, by the way, for being very tough.
And so she isn't interested in sitting there and going back and forth.
She wants to get into the data.
And one of the issues, though, that I saw this kind of circulating in legal circles was people saying, well, how are they going to charge him with attempted assassination when he doesn't get a shot off?
He didn't have Trump in.
And of course he could argue that he was sitting there trying to protect Donald Trump or one of these things.
How do you actually determine his intent?
Which of course I think we all get from a common sense basis is kind of silly.
But you understand why a defense lawyer would attempt to do that.
So what they were trying to do to establish with the letter is establish intent obviously.
OK. Got it.
Sure. But you easily could have redacted the part about the bounty.
Anyone could have redacted it.
It would have made sense to redact it.
The fact that they didn't redact it, again, shows a willful, and this is the point, the willful, it's either intentional...
Intentional negligence is a form of malice.
Intentional negligence is a form of not caring, is a form of not being interested in the safety of your subject, not being interested in the safety of those involved.
And for example, when, you know, when I get a source or I get a document from, you know, we were talking about my sources before or talking about just any document that I would get, Hunter Biden laptop.
So a great example.
Four years ago, Pretty much today, I guess.
I had full access to the Hunter Biden laptop, October of 2020.
And people would say, why don't you just release the whole thing?
Why don't you just upload the thing to the internet and let it out there?
You know why?
Because it's got bank account information in there.
It's got cell phone numbers in there.
Social security numbers.
It's got addresses in there.
Social security numbers.
You name it.
All of that PII, which, number one...
Would obviously put them in threat.
Number two, probably would have easily gotten me banned from Twitter.
But number three, it opens me up to potential legal liability for releasing those things that do not have any journalistic value.
And so that is why things that we released were either redacted or in many cases, you would take the time to just cut the number off or something like that.
The DOJ didn't do that with Donald Trump.
J.R. Williams says the letter provides intent for court evidence, but you can, on the one hand, redact or file under seal, but this is coming from the same, I guess, the FBI that released the photograph of the evidence at Trump's Mar-a-Lago raid, which they then later admitted to having doctored.
So I'm looking at that, and in as much as I do demand total transparency, I saw no good-faith reason for them to release that letter at that time.
But now I'm going to bring it all the way back to the incompetence, and it's layered incompetence, as Bongino says, and Tim Pool says, what does he say?
He says something along those same lines.
It's deliberate neglect, or deliberate incompetence is intense, something along those lines.
It's systematic, where there's no order.
It's just make it so chaotic, make it so incompetent that eventually something will happen.
When they came out and said, look, that wasn't in our perimeter, that building, the AGR building.
I was like, well, then your perimeter wasn't good.
It's not like, oh, that wasn't in our secure perimeter, therefore that's why we weren't looking at it.
It was within the vicinity.
It should have been.
There have been no further sanctions or consequences for any of the agents involved above and beyond, I think, what, five were placed on administrative leave?
So they've been placed on administrative leave and assigned to administrative duties.
One of the individuals that we're told was the person who was assigned essentially the quasi-site lead who was a female agent.
This just came out yesterday.
She only had four years of experience inside the entire Secret Service.
She had just graduated from the service academy that goes for the Secret Service.
In 2020, so actually less than four full years on the job, she was the one assigned to the Butler rally.
Then it came out, we were talking drones earlier, and people have heard, of course, that the Secret Services drone did not work, which also would have included counter-drone technology.
And so, again, Thomas Matthew Crooks, not only did he fly a drone, and this is something we put together in the book, not only did he fly a drone at the rally, he also had...
Working IEDs at the rally.
Had he so chosen, and we don't know why he didn't, but had he so chosen, he easily could have used his drone to fly those IEDs directly into that rally on the drone, kamikaze style, like we've seen across the battlefield from Russia to Ukraine, and killed...
Rally-goers killed far more rally-goers than just one, killed President Trump, and there would have been almost no way for them to stop this coming from that AGR building.
So we were told, just real quick, we were told in the New York Times, it was revealed that the agent who was supposed to be in charge of the drone technology that day had virtually no experience on the program other than taking one online course and actually spent several hours on the phone with the Commercial tech support.
On customer support, trying to figure out how to get the drone in the air.
So again, it's just very obvious.
They were assigned the B team.
They were assigned a lot of junior level people for this Butler rally.
And again, how does this not go to intent?
This idea that you would assign someone at an outdoor rally.
And I've been to Butler twice now, once for research for the book and then again when President Trump came back.
By the way, I'm happy to report that there were two drones flown by federal law enforcement.
Obviously, they're probably Secret Service, but I can't tell for sure, but I know they were federal law enforcement.
Both tethered, one in front of the stage and then one actually behind the stage.
So you sort of had this two-prong coverage of the entire area, which it's not a big area.
That's one of the biggest things that people need to understand, and I didn't understand until I was there myself.
You see the pictures, you see the aerial overheads, which we studied in great detail.
We provide various various points of this imagery and these maps in the book.
But when you go there and walk the ground yourself, you realize it's actually quite quite small.
I mean, they say 140 yards from the AGR building to President Trump's.
But we actually when we went there without the rally, without the crowds and the stands and the fencing, I mean, It's just one field.
I was running around.
My kids were there.
You could make that run in a couple of minutes.
It's very close.
The drone incompetence is amazing also.
And I just say this from my own perspective.
I'm a drone enthusiast.
I had to take an online course and pass basically an aerial aviation type course in Canada to get a license.
And the idea that we can't figure out how to get it in the air, let alone use it properly, because it's not totally intuitive.
So no drones.
Layered incompetence, quite clearly.
The IEDs.
This is something I fleshed this out.
Where in the hell is this 20-year-old loner learning how to make IEDs?
Because there was some discussion as to whether or not there were, in fact, explosives, whether or not he had them in the car.
The issue about the silverware at his house having been polished, which some people took to mean, I don't know what they were trying to get by way of material for that, but he had functional IEDs.
Where in the name of God's green earth would he have learned how to make IEDs?
That's right.
And by the way, I would also say about the no civil war in the House, it is possible that that was confiscated by law enforcement.
And I do just want to put that caveat out there because there's a lot of these loose threads out there and we want to be careful when we're conducting any investigation.
And again, I've hired private investigators for this.
They're on the ground in Bethel Park.
They're going through Butler because we don't trust the federal government on this.
And that was one of the things that they had said to me when I pointed that out.
And they said, well, you know, the FBI could have taken it.
Obviously, they would have had search.
And we do also have information that the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, we broke the story before anyone, has opened a grand jury investigation.
His name is Eric Olshan.
He was appointed by Joe Biden.
And we have reason to believe that he is trying to build a case against Thomas Matthew Crooks' father, Matthew Crooks.
And I've got some reporting on that, but we have reason to believe that that appears to be the case that he's looking for, but is not digging into these very questions that you just asked.
How did he build the IEDs?
Where did he get the evidence?
Or where did he get the blueprints for this?
Because, by the way...
These were not the typical type of IED that a domestic terrorist builds going all the way back to the anarchist cookbook days.
I was just going to drop that as a reference.
When we were kids, you had the anarchist cookbook.
And that's where I learned...
I never had the anarchist cookbook, Viva.
I'm sure you never did either.
No, Canada's much more lax when it comes to things like that.
I remember exactly what it looked like.
How old are you, Jack?
We're the same age, right?
I'm 39. 39!
Well, that's because I look so young.
I'm joking.
You know, the Anikids cookbook, and it taught you all the potassium nitrate, sugar, saltpeter.
Back in the day when saltpeter was sold at pharmacies, it's no longer sold at pharmacies for obvious reasons.
No, it's not.
And I've actually – funny enough, I've – some of my DIA training involved bomb making.
Not like Tom Sauer EOD level but I've had some familiarization courses on how bomb making works and it's a fascinating process when you're really just mixing chemicals and then you see it happen.
It's really incredible to see how powerful this stuff is.
So it is wild because he's building IEDs and he doesn't have a book.
And if he does have a book, he bought it or he rented it from a library.
And if he didn't have a book, he's looking online and there's track.
And we know nothing of that yet where he learned this stuff.
So we have reporting that he may have actually purchased.
These plans.
Because again, this is not a pipe bomb.
This wasn't pressure cookers like the Boston Bombers in 2012.
No, this was, excuse me, 2013.
That this was something new.
He was actually using ammo cans and using that to make his mix.
And then he had detonators that would have set off the explosive substance within the ammo cans that were then linked to a remote, which of course the FBI says, and again, this is FBI says, so take that with a grain of salt.
They claimed that the remote was set in the wrong position for it to go off, which of course, you know, he obviously could have easily just.
Switched to the other position at any time.
But they said these were active.
They were active IEDs.
These were not inert.
These were not decoys or some kind of J6 training device or implement.
These were the real thing.
And the idea that we have reporting that one of the theories is that he was using – so he would use these online encrypted accounts that he had based in various countries around the world.
To order various implements for his ammunition and for many things that he was using online to sort of build these different devices.
And so the theory that was going around in the national security space was that he was using those as well to mask his movements and mask his traffic online and potentially communicate it online to get the blueprints basically for these devices.
The Anarchist Cookbook level of understanding the recipe for how to build this and then downloaded that and then was using those and testing those prior to this event.
And we have information that's in the very back here in our, you know, skipping ahead to our independent report.
So this book essentially establishes the first iteration of the report.
And we do intend to have more because we want this to be an ongoing investigation and the book sales will go to support that.
We have reason to believe that when he was conducting testing with these IEDs that he was not alone.
It's almost inconceivable that he would be alone.
My only mind-blowing realization was that they were active and not dummies like some suspect the pipe bombs in Jan 6 were.
Okay, so they might be going after the father, which might expose something of a family plot here.
The encrypted accounts, were those bank accounts or were those communication accounts?
Email. Email.
Okay, fine.
And then the disposal of the body.
There is also no good faith answer for why they would have cremated the body so quickly before they could do it.
I don't know what other tests would have been relevant, but there's no good faith explanation for having cremated the body so quickly.
Well, so – and by the way, there is an autopsy that's floating around out there that was very much – came up dispositive for any of the basic benzos or narcotics that you would attempt to see in the toxicology, also pharmaceuticals or even controlled substances that didn't come out.
But the real question, of course, is the family receives the body from the FBI.
The FBI does not release the body to the coroner, the local coroner in Butler.
And this came out in one of the congressional investigations where they were asking to see the body and went to the coroner and the coroner says, I haven't received it from the FBI, contacts the FBI.
The FBI says, oh, the body has already been released to the family and in fact it's already been cremated.
All of that decision-making was done without any of the input of local officials.
Also, you have the FBI cleaning up the site of the top of that AGR building.
The day after?
The day after, which is just never done.
The FBI in its routine course, you know...
There's obviously TV shows and people know about CSI-type operations that the FBI runs.
But the cleanup?
No, this is not done by FBI.
This is never done by FBI.
But for some reason, they cleaned this specific roof.
And by the way, so I visited the site for my site survey and doing research probably just two weeks after the shooting.
And when we did that, there was no...
Police tape up.
There was no cordon off.
And in fact, I was shocked to find that there was a fair.
There was a county fair that was going on that weekend.
And I was with Tanya.
I said, wow, I guess we could just stay for the fair.
I was shocked that that would be going on so close.
Yeah, I'm looking it up right now.
It was exactly two weeks after the shooting that we visited.
They were having county fairs on the very site where, you know, a murder took place, by the way, and also an attempted assassination of a president of the United States.
Do we know who shot, how many times he was shot, who took the fatal shot from the distance from which they took the fatal shot?
It appears that he was shot once, and you have to remember the way his body was laying, so he was lying prone.
So it appears, according to the autopsy, that I saw that he was shot through the mouth, basically, because remember, this was all they could see, and he was essentially hit through the top of the mouth, and then it came out the back of the head, and that it was conducted by that second Secret Service counter-sniper team.
He has not been publicly identified yet?
No. Okay.
I mean, Fallout.
By the way, I've got the names, and in the book we do have the names of the local police, but we were not able to obtain the names of the Secret Service agents yet.
So you have this, and in the Fallout of the investigation, you'll tell me if I'm not being hyperbolic.
The committee hearings, congressional hearings that followed, was basically like putting on blast how deficient and incompetent the Secret Service was.
And basically an open invitation to any more sophisticated would-be assassin to do it now while the door is still open.
Am I being overly cynical or do you think that that was the intent?
Or if it wasn't actually the consequence?
Yeah, well, I do think that was part of the consequence.
I wouldn't say that Congress had that intent, but clearly, clearly any outside group.
Looking to wish harm on President Trump, whether it's Iran or one of the cartels or, you know, you take your pick about the people that this guy has threatened and that his policies have threatened from the military industrial complex to even the multinationals who are all in on this migrant invasion of the United States, making billions and billions of dollars off of this to the tariffs that he's attempted to put on foreign countries to cut off the trade.
It really is a dog's.
Breakfast of potential suspects, real rogues gallery, Arkham Asylum kind of comes to mind.
But when you look at the listing and the delineation of the failures, and we identified, so just for Butler, we identified 12 independent failures that took place just on that day.
And the question we ask, of course, is, were these failures?
Because something that we believe is that the point of a system is what it does.
And so the real question to ask is, was the intent to secure President Trump?
Or perhaps was the intent to unsecure President Trump that day?
Because if that were the case, then in fact it was a resounding success.
And so I'm just pulling up here.
I've got it.
I want to read this verbatim for you.
We took all 12 and, you know, Joshua and I, neither of us are mathematicians, so we went to AI.
And we asked AI GPT-4 Omni, which is the latest open AI iteration of GPT, to assess the probability that these 12 independent security failures would occur at the same time a trained gunman with malicious intent would arrive to a Trump rally and attempt to shoot and kill him.
The probability that was returned to us was one in one septillion.
Which is, and I know people are like, what the heck does that mean?
I was thinking trillion was coming.
Let me see here.
Step... Septillion.
Septillion. Which is about the same.
And by the way, the odds of being killed by a shark are about 1 in 3.7 million.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.
And basically what you're looking at here is the odds.
This is the same odds of flipping a coin and it coming up heads 93 times in a row.
Those are what the odds are.
And then...
We asked GPT-4 Omni, what would your analysis be of this situation?
And I want to read this part for you verbatim.
This is what it concluded.
This is not me.
It's not Joshua.
This is GPT-4 Omni.
Call it a social experiment, as it were.
This probability suggests that the occurrence of all these failures and the presence of the shooter is extraordinarily unlikely by chance alone, raising serious questions about whether these events were truly random.
of.
Let me bring up this visual, which many of us have seen.
This is what the perimeter, the so-called secure perimeter looked like.
They put the eye in there and the people call it the Pac-Man perimeter as a joke.
This is what it looked like.
This is the gap that was left out of the perimeter.
This is not a fake image.
No, that's it.
I've been there several times now.
Okay, so in my mind, there's not a question that it was not an accident.
There's not a question it was deliberate.
That is...
Oh, I want to add it.
That is simply deliberate.
Period. Full stop.
You can't call it a perimeter if you've deliberately carved out a roof that would have otherwise been within that perimeter.
Period. And what people need to understand as well is it's not just the roof.
So there's a fence line there, and you can see this in some of the videos that were released.
That there were people who, you know, sometimes people show up late to a Trump rally or they reach capacity and you can't get in and various things.
No, Jack Charles.
I don't know if that's me or Jack.
Let me just double check.
Did Jack freeze or is it me?
Let me see if Jack is still there.
Hold on, people.
I'm just double checking in our locals community where I'm going to get a quick answer.
Did Jack freeze or is it me?
My internet connection is good.
But now I'm starting to think it's me.
Jack did.
Okay, Jack froze.
Okay, fine.
So when Jack gets back, do I refresh?
I'll leave it up here.
At least he froze in a good, flattering pose.
Remind me, everybody.
I'm going to get to as many questions as I can.
I'm going on Jack's show after this show.
So we're going to be back-to-back, but the conversation is not going to be congruous.
The Pac-Man perimeter is the most...
Inasmuch as a lot of people argue that the design of the human physiology is evidence of intelligent design in God, this is evidence of deliberate design and sabotage.
Remind me, I'm going to ask about the training of the firearms for crooks.
Now it's not such a flattering freeze frame.
What do I do?
I'm going to leave that up here.
That's quite funny.
You're bugging out, but now I'm getting concerned as to what might have just happened.
I hope it's just a solar flare.
Can you still hear me?
I think it's fine on my side, so I don't know.
I don't even know what's...
You look fine.
I look fine.
I don't see anything.
You're freezing up, but at least you're back now and we can definitely hear you, but there was a great freeze frame in there for a second.
Maybe it'll become a meme.
Who knows?
Now I forget where we were.
Interesting. We were talking about the perimeter, and I was about to say that the perimeter, when you watch the videos, you realize that it's not just the building that's unsecured.
It's that entire fence line.
So any one of those people could have had a firearm.
And keep in mind, this is western Pennsylvania, and I'm sure that 80% or more of the cars in that parking lot had firearms in them.
That's just a common thing you do.
Particularly in western Pennsylvania.
And any one of them, had they so desired, could have taken a shot at President Trump because they were all unchecked.
There were no magnetometers.
And yeah, you had a couple of these foot patrols, but as you can see, that nobody was really able to cover down.
If you could walk right up to the fence, anyone could have pulled a gun off.
And there are trained marksmen who can make a handgun shot at 100 yards.
I watch a lot of that type of stuff.
Who's the guy?
Kentucky Ballistics.
I love him and my kid loves him.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's not...
I mean, for a handgun, sure.
That's a hard shot for a handgun, but there are lots of people who can do it.
The firearm training.
This is another one that just blows my freaking mind.
It's one thing that the kid had training.
Where they said that he was training at a facility that had FBI intelligence training there at the firing range, the shooting range.
That's right.
Now, I don't have much experience with this, but I know damn well the security there, that in terms of getting in, in terms of surveillance by what they call the field, whatever they call those field guys who make sure that people aren't doing anything stupid while they're at a target.
The range officers.
Yeah, so how intimate is this environment where he was training upwards of, what was it, 43 times within a year at an area that was frequented by law enforcement, intelligence, etc.?
Sure. And if they see a long-haired dude who looks a little off, who's there training and really good, like...
They profile it by their own reflex, not necessarily by their job.
Yeah, you know who's sort of good to go and who's got a little bit of a screw loose when you're at situations like that.
And especially, as you say, these are trained investigators and trained law enforcement and federal law enforcement who should know if someone is there with one of these issues.
And I've got here, so in our independent report at the end of the book, so it's Clareton Sportsman's Club.
Thomas Crooks, we have his member number.
It was 1133.
He frequented the Rage 43 times between 10 August 2023 and even up to the day before the assassination attempt on 12 July 2024.
And it must be noted that on at least one occasion and actually multiple occasions, so we actually were able to procure the...
The check-in logs.
So when you sign in at a gun range, you always have to sign in and you have to put the date and time, when you leave, when you come out.
There's basic understanding of whether you're using the pistol range, rifle range, archery, skeet, trap, CMP, muzzleloader, action pistol range, and even dog training that they have at this range.
There's a multifunctional range.
For a number of these instances, particularly in 2023, You can see right next to his name, there is another person who's signing in at the exact same time as him on multiple instances that is going there with him.
Now, we don't yet know whether or not that was the father or perhaps someone else who he went to the range with, yet we're told this individual was a loner and didn't have a lot of friends, and yet we keep coming across information.
That he did, in fact, have a network locally.
He went to the gun range with people.
He was going out to different parts of his town with people late at night in the weeks prior to this.
And so the story doesn't add up to the media narrative.
I've got to ask you, though, is the name known but not disclosed?
They've got those sheets, so somebody knows that name.
Do you know the name of the individual or not yet?
I do not have the name of the individual yet.
My investigators are working on that, but the FBI should know.
Holy hell!
How many times was there someone checking in at the same time as him?
How busy a range was it?
Like, were people checking in within five minutes routinely?
Or is it like, you know, we have a dozen check-ins in a day?
It's a pretty busy range.
So you can see on, you know, we've just got the sheets that have his name on it.
And so you can see a lot of check-ins.
And throughout, almost every single time he went of the, throughout 2023, he's got, so, you know, dozens of times where he's going in with this other, and again, you see, so you see it again here, 424, 1235 p.m., and then 424, 1235 p.m., Thomas Crooks.
And again, and again, and again.
And it's redacted in the document you have?
In the version that I have, it's redacted.
Holy hell.
Here's another one.
Here's another one.
9-11 in the morning.
So, you know, 9-11, a very specific time, not a time that you would be, you know, a very early time to go to the gun range, a Saturday morning kind of time.
And he's right there.
He actually wrote down the time 9-11, like not 9-10 or 9-15, 9-11.
Exactly. And that's typical.
You would see that at gun ranges, that people would be specific like that.
So he writes 9-11.
And of course what you're also seeing is that someone else is not using the same handwriting.
And then also you see that they are using – it says zero guests.
So this was another member.
And then they're also using the same type of ranges.
So they're both here using – They both have deposited, and for this day, for example, they're using the rifle range.
Typically, he was using the rifle range.
That would put me on such a mission to find out the identity of that person, not to dox or disclose to get that.
Who would you need by way of a whistleblower to get that information?
How do you know who has that info in the investigation that the FBI is conducting?
Well, you'd either need an FBI agent who is willing to do so, or obviously someone at the firing range itself.
And suffice to say, the firing range was not interested in providing that.
Yeah, I think they got the message.
That's wild.
That's a fact that I did not know.
Amazing. Jack, I'm coming on your channel at 2 o'clock, right?
2 o'clock?
You are.
So we actually have to wrap up here so that we can have time for you to come to my show.
I'll close out my show after you take off because I know you've got to get prepared for yours.
I want to just get a few questions that I know that are sitting in the backdrop, and I'll read the chats when Jack is gone.
But very quickly, Ruth, because now we're dealing with this guy here who arguably but not definitively has ties to...
Foreign entities, whether or not they're foreign interests.
Ruth had been in the media recruiting for Ukraine without being called out until only recently.
I did give somebody credit because apparently in June or July of this year, he was called out by someone saying, this guy's a liar, he's doing whatever.
I think they might have been calling him out because he might have been getting too vocal about illegally trying to recruit an army for Ukraine.
But he had been giving public appearances and being, I don't know, celebrated as the word.
What's the status of that investigation?
He's going to trial.
So he's going to trial.
So he'll be going to trial on November 14th, which, of course, is just after the election.
And again, there are lots of questions regarding how it was that he was able to do this travel, how he was able to pay for this.
We're told again and again that he didn't have funding.
And yet...
Somehow he was able to travel to places like Istanbul, Turkey and Taipei, Taiwan, back and forth from Ukraine and then going to Honolulu.
Those are very expensive flights for anybody out there.
Even when you've got a MyPillow hookup, those are pretty expensive flights.
Is the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida that has drawn this case and he will be trying it, we're told, directly.
He's got a couple of assistant U.S. attorneys along with him.
So you've got Markenzie LaPointe.
This information has been very close hold.
But again, when his name first came out, so Ryan Wesley Ruth, his name first comes out, his photo first comes out, and I have a...
Basically, his photo came out and through a reporting process, I was able to use facial recognition to take his picture.
And we were trying to, by the way, find social media accounts that were associated with him.
So we took his picture and we ran it through a facial recognition database that scours the entire internet looking for other instances of that same exact face.
And you should have seen my reaction.
Imagine my reaction when the first page of results that we get in this search includes a propaganda video for the Azov Battalion, a neo-Nazi battalion that has specifically been trained by the CIA to conduct assassinations.
And which the New York Times had even reported last year that – or earlier this year I should say – that was – has conducted assassinations, the Azo Battalion and these other battalions, inside of Russia.
And of course they claimed the CIA had nothing to do with those and the CIA would never condone assassinations in a foreign country that we are conducting proxy wars with.
I mean just … Ludicrous, completely ludicrous to assume that there would be any connective tissue between the CIA and associations.
They don't do those things.
And so it blew my mind that – and of course the Azov battalion even released a statement saying we had nothing to do with this individual and he just happened to be in that recruitment video that we had put together and really, really begs the question of – look, when it comes down to it with Ryan Wesley Ruth, I think that the easiest way – To prove that there were more people involved.
Obviously, this guy had a lot of deep connections, but the easiest way to prove that there were more people involved in this, it's not just the stolen license plate that he was found with.
It's not just the training that he received either on the battlefield.
I was actually told that he wasn't in combat in Ukraine, but he received training while he was in Ukraine.
How did he get the gun?
This is a guy who was a felon going back to for 20 years.
He didn't have the legal ability to buy a firearm like that or to possess a firearm like that.
Shows up outside the president's home, by the way, because he wasn't just outside the golf club.
He had been going to the home, Mar-a-Lago.
And going to the golf course multiple times over the course of a month after he had given the dead drop letter to – the dead man's letter to his friend saying that – talking about the bounty and saying this wasn't successful.
The gun itself was unregistered.
I saw the comment just there.
And it had the serial number shaved off.
So that begs the question of course, did this gun come from Ukraine?
Was this a bad?
It's a Kalishnikov, which, of course, is a rifle that's ubiquitously used by both sides over there.
Did this come from Ukraine?
Obviously, he received his training in Ukraine.
He's not a veteran or anything like that.
And so if we can track that weapon, and I certainly hope that Markenzie Lapointe is able to do so in the course of this, then we can really find much more information as to his network.
And potentially, who sent him off on this mission.
And why it is that he writes in his letter that even though I was not successful, others can complete the mission.
Last one for you before you go, and people want to know where to find you, but I think you'll tell them that.
Does Jack do anything about the video of Crooks smiling, saying, guess what, you got the wrong guy?
It was either TikTok or YouTube early after the shooting?
So that was not Crooks who did that.
So there was a lot of...
You know, kind of fog of war situation.
There was another individual identified at the time.
I'm not going to say his name because I don't want to get into any of that.
But there was another individual who had a striking similarity.
Physical similarity to Crooks, who was also in the same area who had previously been arrested for involvement in domestic violence of a political nature, but we are told was not Crooks.
And I should say was not Crooks.
And he was apparently playing some tricks with that video.
Jack, where can people find you?
Well, of course, people, if you want to follow me, just go to the latest pages of Media Matters or watch Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid because they're always screaming about me.
And then, of course, if you want the book, just go to Amazon.
You can look up Bulletproof Trump.
By the way, Donald Trump Jr., very honored to have him be the writer of the foreword to all of this.
For Donald Trump Jr., this wasn't just a political figure or a celebrity.
This was his dad.
And it's his dad that's under threat.
And in fact, the entire Trump family is under threat.
Even Don, he's got his five children.
His brother, Barron, is now studying up at NYU very publicly.
And so the whole family has to live with this hanging over them.
And we also have some copies available at orderbulletproof.com if you want some of the special editions.
We have signed copies and things like that.
Amazing. Jack, I'll see you in 15 minutes.
I'm going to close up here and read some more chats.
God bless, man.
Okay, talk to you soon.
I love Jack.
So I'm going to be on, I'll be on Human Resources, Human Events at 205, give or take.
And so what I'll do right now is I'll finish up by reading all of the chat.
Sophie, Barb Ariane, what about Coachella?
Coachella, it's by all accounts, not an assassination attempt.
I apparently have met the guy, Van Miller, in Milwaukee.
He put out a video explaining it.
By all accounts, it was not an assassination attempt.
So that was a little, again, fog of war early on because everyone's, I was going to say gun-shy, but that's not the best word for this.
Everyone is very fearful at anything that occurs that it's another attempt on Trump's life.
Let me read some of the rumble rants over here.
And I'm going to get to the tip questions in Locals.
I guess there won't be an after-party on Locals today, but maybe I'll do something later tonight.
My wife, she comes back to Florida tonight, so I'm done with the solo parenting.
Pinochet's Helicopter Tours.
In regards to the dead man's letter, how did he know he was going to fail?
No, it said, if you're reading this, I failed.
So, you know, it was the...
It's what it was.
Pinochet's Helicopter Tours also says, do we have any evidence that any federal employees with a conscience have not already been purged years ago?
Why should we not assume every Fed is compromised and guilty?
Dude, like, if that put me on a mission to find out the identity of the individual who showed up with crooks...
Multiple times, check in at the exact same time.
I wish I knew somebody at the FBI.
I think I've got my...
I have sources, but they're not sources like Jack's sources.

Jack is awesome, period.
And everyone should go back and watch my first interview because we go into depth of his experience in the first time he came on the channel.
It's amazing.
AllTrue says RealFury.
Pinochet's Helicopter Tour says Jack, I loved the Unhumans and keep multiple copies in my bird.
I guess it's a helicopter?
Okay, that is what it is.
I enjoy the looks on customers' faces while reading and not noticing we are 10 miles off the U.S. coast.
Looking forward to Bulletproof.
SuperBuffShaft, whose name I always love reading.
Jean Van Pulitzer respects all of you, but did a show today rumble about Jack's vote and how it's part of the rig.
All need to see, vote election day, don't use Sharpies, fill in ovals outright.
And I don't know what that question means, but thank you for the support.
Ginger Ninja, what appendage are we dealing with when conversing with bot booty booty?
Those are the questions that we have over on Rumble now.
What's Jack's channel?
Well, Jack's Twitter handle is Poso?
I love it.
Jack, there is nobody on the face of the earth that plugs my pillow, Mike Lindell's pillow, as well as Jack.
Jack's handle is...
Come on, man.
Jack Posobiec.
It is at Jack Posobiec, which I remember he said it was like...
Eastern European.
I forget what language it was.
The mouth of something.
Posobiec. P-O-S-O-B-I-E-C.
That's his handle.
Jack Posobiec.
At on that place.
Aviva, could you ask him what the catalyst was?
Oh, shoot.
That's what I wanted to ask.
Barnes and I are going to talk about it on Sunday for sure.
Although maybe I'm going to ask him on his channel now.
You know what?
I'm going to screen grab that.
I'll get that question to him when I show up on human events in a few minutes.
And then if we go over to our above-average vivaandbarneslaw.locals.com community.
Boopsie said, does Jack know anything about the video of Crooks?
Okay, I read that one.
Jopper, Five Buck, says, I believe they're trying to get Trump on the run.
Let me read it properly.
I believe they're trying to get...
Trump to run scared and make him use smaller, indoor, and less effective rally venues.
A thousand percent is the incidental.
Even if they fail, that's what happens.
They're trying to kill him.
Then we've got Jopper says, for five bucks, fast movers refers to missiles in the Expanse series.
Then we've got a wonderful meme.
Sorry if I'm redundant.
Just got here.
Would love to get a Bannon update if you haven't already given one.
I'll just show everybody.
Badass McBadden in AI format sitting in jail.
Bada bing, bada boom.
Check that out.
I want to see what band looks like.
Prison. Oh, God.
Okay, so let's stop screen there and let's go back and get the rest of these.
Escape. That was from Legum Gigum.
Or Gigum Gigum, sorry.
Then we got Encryptus.
Just want to thank you for having Postal on.
Love the work he does.
Does he need an AI guy?
I can put you guys in contact, see if he needs anything.
Question with boldness, even the existence of a god, because if there be one, he must be more...
Okay, let me read this again here.
Question with boldness, even the existence of a god, because if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
Thomas Jefferson.
That's beautiful.
Did you see Tucker Carl?
This is from Encryptus.
Did you see Tucker's interview with Harmeet Dillon?
She gave a full history on Kamala failing upwards.
One interesting factoid was the fact that Kamala has only tried 10 cases in her entire prosecutor career.
Encryptus, I listened to it the other day, and it's amazing.
I think he said like eight or nine cases, but she had minimal experience, even as a transnational prosecutor of cartel gay.
She's a effing liar through and through.
Period. Bank your vote.
We know we have a Bongino fan in the house.
Get out there.
Vote. Everybody vote.
Vote like your democracy depends on it because I believe it does.
Let me get this out of here now.
Okay, we get that out.
And what else?
I gotta pee like a racehorse.
I better do that before I get on post.
I'm gonna get an energy drink.
Oh yeah, let's end with a little bit of a laugh here.
Princess, you are ugly when you're angry.
Spaceballs, classic line.
Never understood it as a kid.
Now I understand it.
Enough! We are ready to turn the page!
Turn the page!
Turn the page of her three and a half years in office as vice president.
Unbelievably stupid.
Because she is...
Let me turn the volume down.
Do you want to talk about someone who looks tired?
Haggard, consumed by the process.
you.
It's really...
Oh, look.
That's the face.
It's the scowl.
It's the sneer.
Right there.
Everything is...
It's a sneer, like a...
Ugh. That's Kamala, people.
All right, peeps.
So let me see if I've got my link yet to share.
I've got to get off incognito.
Not incognito.
Do not disturb mode.
So that's it, everybody.
It's Friday.
Friday! Friday!
I will put out clips on Viva Frye.
Podcasts will be on Viva Barnes Law for the People on Podbean.
And what else?
I'll try to get a video out later today.
And locals, I'll get with you later this afternoon.
Hopefully I'll have the results of my MRI, which I should probably call up and see what they said on my knee.
It still hurts.
Alright, so that's it.
Everybody, thank you for being here.
Sunday night's show is going to be a banger.
We're going to get to the question about the recent Department of Defense amended directive and whether or not it says what people fear it says.
And that is it.
Thank you all for being here.
