Speaker 1: Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Speaker 2: All right, news round up and information Overload hour. Here's
Speaker 2: our toll free telephone number at eight hundred and ninety
Speaker 2: four to one Sean if you want to be a
Speaker 2: part of the program. We are only fifty short days
Speaker 2: till an inflection point in this country. That would be
Speaker 2: election Day, early voting starting now in Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth,
Speaker 2: and we'll be rolling out around the country. I can't
Speaker 2: think of a more important moment choice election for the history,
Speaker 2: for the future of our country. I can't think of
Speaker 2: a more radicalized candidate that has been unvetted, ignored by
Speaker 2: a complicit, corrupt media, and then of course other forces
Speaker 2: like big tech et cetera, et cetera. Kamalist still never
Speaker 2: answering partning questions about her radical position on no restrictions
Speaker 2: at all in abortion and mandatory gun buybacks and no
Speaker 2: border walls and decriminalizing illegal immigration, offering free housing and
Speaker 2: healthcare and education, and even a legal driver's license Minnesota,
Speaker 2: free free college that you pay for, then a path
Speaker 2: to citizenship, and on top of that, taxpayer funded sex
Speaker 2: change operations for not only illegals, but for convicts as well,
Speaker 2: her position on federal drug possession for personal use. That
Speaker 2: would mean hard drugs like crack, heroin, cocaine, fentanyl. Her
Speaker 2: ninety three trillion dollar gree New Deal, which he sponsored,
Speaker 2: co sponsored with Bernie Sanders. Eliminate the filibuster to get
Speaker 2: it passed. That would be the end of capitalism as
Speaker 2: we know it. Her government healthcare for all, elimination of
Speaker 2: private health insurance. You know, don't say the word radical,
Speaker 2: Islamic terrorism or illegal alien. And then of course raise
Speaker 2: every tax imaginable. Never mind her support for the insurrection
Speaker 2: and rioting six hundred rides in the summer of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: It is insane. And that's just a part partial list. Anyway,
Speaker 2: we've been talking a lot about the second now assassination
Speaker 2: attempt against President Trump. This is taking place at Trump
Speaker 2: International Golf Course in West Palm Beach in Florida. And
Speaker 2: the person that was playing golf with them happened to
Speaker 2: be a personal friend of mine. I even had breakfast
Speaker 2: with him and another friend of ours, another guy that
Speaker 2: was with us. I don't think he's way more private.
Speaker 2: He didn't play in the golf game, but Steve Whitkoff
Speaker 2: was there watched the entire thing go down. He is
Speaker 2: a real estate investor, developer, incredibly successful, extremely an extraordinarily
Speaker 2: nice and generous human being. He's the founder, chairman CEO
Speaker 2: of the Witcough Group. Was with President with the President
Speaker 2: playing golf when this assassination attempt occurred. I talked to
Speaker 2: him many times immediately in the aftermath. I did, by
Speaker 2: the way, by the call you, Steve Win once on TV.
Speaker 2: I got to apologize for that. It was a rushed
Speaker 2: moment on television. I apologize to you for that.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: So we have breakfasts together and you were kind of
Speaker 2: like saying, well, why don't you just come play now? Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the President is close to scratch in terms of a golfer.
Speaker 2: You're I think close to scratch as well. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm not playing with you.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: You're much better than I am, and you probably wouldn't
Speaker 2: want to play with somebody that you know doesn't get
Speaker 2: to play very often. But I will take you up
Speaker 2: on that offer in the future for sure. But walk
Speaker 2: us through you you meet with the President, you go
Speaker 2: out to play some golf, tell us every walk us
Speaker 2: through every detail.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you and I had had that breakfast
Speaker 1: at City Diner. It was pretty fabulous. I think it
Speaker 1: would have been great if if you had been out
Speaker 1: on the course with us, and not not to witness
Speaker 1: this shooting, but more because you're just a great guy
Speaker 1: who wouldn't want to spend time on the golf course
Speaker 1: with Sean Hannity. And I think the President would feel
Speaker 1: exactly as I do about that.
Speaker 3: But the feeling, the feeling is mutual.
Speaker 2: By the way, You're one of the nicest guys I've
Speaker 2: ever met, one of the most generous, and so is
Speaker 2: our other friend.
Speaker 3: But you know, when you call me, I was in
Speaker 3: a state of shock. Steve. I'm like, not again, Please
Speaker 3: tell me God, not again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Sean, You know, the President was an
Speaker 1: amazing athlete. He played football. He was a great tennis player.
Speaker 1: But at this stage of his life a lot of
Speaker 1: people played They switch from these other sports that they've
Speaker 1: done and they play golf, and he uses it as
Speaker 1: a decompression tool. I think about all the well, the
Speaker 1: tension he has in his life, particularly with what he's
Speaker 1: had to endure for the last several years being vilified.
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, his active public service in becoming
Speaker 1: the president of the United States, or to be commended.
Speaker 1: And yet in this crazy time, he's vilified, he's conspired against,
Speaker 1: he's wrongly accused, in my opinion, in every one of
Speaker 1: these cases. And so for him to get out on
Speaker 1: a golf course is a time for him to decompress.
Speaker 1: And I love playing with him. We just have a
Speaker 1: wonderful time together. And so there it is, this beautiful
Speaker 1: golf course. It's hot, it's humid, but we're enjoying ourselves
Speaker 1: and nothing bad is supposed to happen. And out of
Speaker 1: the blue, I hear the first shot. The Secret Service
Speaker 1: was things short of incredible. You would think that they
Speaker 1: had practiced an evacuation like this five hundred times before.
Speaker 1: And I say to the entire team, Sean who was
Speaker 1: right there that day, and to the agent in charge,
Speaker 1: that that team was very, very well prepared. And that's
Speaker 1: how it began. And then in quick succession there were
Speaker 1: three other shots, but they had him out of there quick,
Speaker 1: and all I could hear and see, first of all,
Speaker 1: he was looking back at us. And I mean that
Speaker 1: I stood up the entire time. Maybe I dropped reckless
Speaker 1: on my part, Maybe I should have got behind the
Speaker 1: golf cart, but for some reason I stood up and
Speaker 1: was looking at the corner of the golf course where
Speaker 1: clearly the shooter was, because they were agents on top
Speaker 1: of him almost immediately. And then of course we found
Speaker 1: out that it was the It was an agent running
Speaker 1: in front of us who was in charge of scanning
Speaker 1: the perimeter of the course, in the hole that was
Speaker 1: in front of any hole we might be playing. It
Speaker 1: was him who identified him, and that's where the shots
Speaker 1: came from. And so that was the beginning of it.
Speaker 2: So when the first shot goes off of my understanding
Speaker 2: what you told me yesterday, you heard pop, pop, pop,
Speaker 2: and then another pop pop. You've heard four shots at
Speaker 2: the time, you knew immediately was a gunshot. Yes, And
Speaker 2: when that happened, immediately you see the Secret Service around
Speaker 2: him jump into action, and I assume, and based on
Speaker 2: what you told me, they jumped on him, covered him.
Speaker 2: In other words, they put their life on the lining
Speaker 2: case he is being shot at, they're going to take
Speaker 2: the bullet for him.
Speaker 1: Right. There's no mistaking that they one surrounded him. They
Speaker 1: had him on the ground, so he was out of
Speaker 1: the line of fire. They were on him. They put
Speaker 1: him in a independently an independent card that was faster
Speaker 1: than the others, and they had their lives on the
Speaker 1: line at every moment. And by the way, the two
Speaker 1: snipers who were three and half four yards away from me.
Speaker 3: You mean the Secret Service nippers.
Speaker 1: The Secret Service nippers with tripods out, were immediately down
Speaker 1: on the ground, but fully exposed because they were there
Speaker 1: to contain gunfire if they had to, and they were
Speaker 1: down on the ground right there. I was no more
Speaker 1: than four yards away from them, and I just stood up.
Speaker 1: I must tell you. I know I've had this discussion
Speaker 1: with people. I'm like, maybe a drop reckless, but I
Speaker 1: never really thought about getting down on the ground. I
Speaker 1: just was mesmerized. Well, this operation, I know.
Speaker 2: You said that to me, and I don't think anyone
Speaker 2: would ever be prepared for such a moment, especially because
Speaker 2: you're not a public figure or a controversial figure that
Speaker 2: leads your life needing security every day. So it's this
Speaker 2: is not the world that you live in, Thank god.
Speaker 2: I don't think you'd want to live in that every day.
Speaker 2: I don't like that the president has to live in
Speaker 2: it every day. And so they very quickly get them out.
Speaker 2: They have this other golf cart to get them off
Speaker 2: that is a lot faster and safer than the usual
Speaker 2: golf cart. What happens now? Did you know the direction
Speaker 2: where the shots came from immediately? Did you have a
Speaker 2: pretty good idea?
Speaker 1: Oh, it was very clear. Yeah. The Secret Service snipers
Speaker 1: had their barrels pointed towards the corner of the golf
Speaker 1: course by Congress Avenue. There was a card out there,
Speaker 1: so an advanced Secret Service agent or a detail had
Speaker 1: already gotten out there. And there was also a person
Speaker 1: I saw on the other side of the tree line
Speaker 1: who was now, as I understand it, another Secret Service
Speaker 1: agent whose job it was to scan the outside perimeter.
Speaker 1: He had evidently just passed the area and just missed
Speaker 1: finding the guy. It was the guy on the It
Speaker 1: was the agent on the inside of the tree line, Sean,
Speaker 1: who's in charge of following forward from us, who identified
Speaker 1: the barrel sticking out of the fence, and he's the
Speaker 1: one who engaged the assassin.
Speaker 3: What happened next?
Speaker 2: I understand that the golf course was cleared, but obviously
Speaker 2: you were the first to be cleared because you were
Speaker 2: closest to the road, which we now know is about
Speaker 2: three hundred yards away from the hole that you were playing.
Speaker 2: My understanding is a is a par three followed by
Speaker 2: a driveable par four?
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, the President was evacuated. But I watched him.
Speaker 1: He was looking back at us. I was there with
Speaker 1: the two other members of our group, civilians, and it
Speaker 1: was clear that he was looking at us. He was
Speaker 1: wanting to make sure that we were okay. I could
Speaker 1: he see him gesturing, and but he was gone. And
Speaker 1: you know, that's their job. Their job is to protect
Speaker 1: the president first, and they did their job impeccably quick.
Speaker 2: Break right back more with Steve Woodcoffe, real estate developer, investor,
Speaker 2: and he was playing golf with President Trump during this
Speaker 2: assassination attempt yesterday. This is his first interview, his first
Speaker 2: televised interview tonight on Hannity on the Fox News channels.
Speaker 2: Look the FBI calls at house stealing. I've been telling
Speaker 2: you about this for over a year. Well to continue.
Speaker 2: He's a friend of mine and I had just had
Speaker 2: breakfast with him before he played golf yesterday with President
Speaker 2: Trump before the assassination attempts. Steve Whitkoff, developer, real estate investor,
Speaker 2: founder chairman CEO Witcough Group. As we continue, now, you
Speaker 2: saw all of this activity going on, and you had
Speaker 2: these Secret Service snipers with their tripods up, and you're right,
Speaker 2: they're out there in an open field, which makes them
Speaker 2: an open target. And yet they moved and they again
Speaker 2: they put their lives on the line for the president,
Speaker 2: which is all commendable. So you finally make it back
Speaker 2: to the White House and you had said to me,
Speaker 2: he was specifically asking where are you and where are
Speaker 2: the other people you were with? And then you were
Speaker 2: like right behind him, and I said, I'm right here.
Speaker 1: That happened, correct, it did, Sean. I must tell you
Speaker 1: know him very well, as you know him as well
Speaker 1: as I do. He was selfless. It's almost as if
Speaker 1: he and it's not almost as if it is it
Speaker 1: It is as if he was more concerned about me,
Speaker 1: and he's demonstrated this countless times, by the way, but
Speaker 1: he was concerned more about me and his two other
Speaker 1: friends who were out there, and other people included. There
Speaker 1: were staffers out there, by the way, who were not
Speaker 1: armed and trained to be involved in this sort of situation,
Speaker 1: and he was concerned about all of those people who
Speaker 1: were in his entourage. I think more concerned about them
Speaker 1: than he was about his own life. Candidly well, and.
Speaker 2: At that point you told me another story that he
Speaker 2: walked around and he thanked everybody that was there, all
Speaker 2: the Secret Service guys.
Speaker 3: What to describe what happened?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, he's an inspiration because you know, this
Speaker 1: is the second time in two months. It's sort of
Speaker 1: like enough already, Like we lived through the sixties when
Speaker 1: they assassinated Jack and Bobby Kennedy. Who would ever think
Speaker 1: in this country, in this day and age that we
Speaker 1: would have something like this again. But two times, two
Speaker 1: attempts with shots going off. If this Secret Service agent
Speaker 1: didn't interdect, interdict, it is clear to me that that
Speaker 1: he had it. He can't. He had an in AK
Speaker 1: forty seven with probably a bananacl affinity, could have posed
Speaker 1: down everybody on the green. So, you know, I can't
Speaker 1: say it enough. Great job by the Secret Service, but
Speaker 1: and great job in protecting the president. And he deserves
Speaker 1: to be protected. First, he's got he's got the when
Speaker 1: he gets elected, he's going to have the most important job.
Speaker 1: But when we got back to the clubhouse, the first
Speaker 1: thing I heard was where is everybody? He was he was,
Speaker 1: he was inquiring because we came back after the Secret
Speaker 1: Service evacuated their Their mission statement is to get him
Speaker 1: out of the field of fire instantaneously, and they did
Speaker 1: that job impeccably.
Speaker 2: Now we mean that when you get back and he
Speaker 2: realizes everybody's safe.
Speaker 1: What happened, he went around to every single one of
Speaker 1: the guys and said, thank you for your service, thank
Speaker 1: you for doing thank you for protecting my friends, thank
Speaker 1: you for protecting me. He he's a man of the people.
Speaker 1: He is. It's inspiring to watch his interaction with people
Speaker 1: who were paid probably not enough to save to protect
Speaker 1: his life and to save his life and circumstances like this,
Speaker 1: and he is so genuine and authentic in his praise
Speaker 1: to these people.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And he does it all the time. It's it's who
Speaker 1: he is. I wrote, his wife is right. His wife
Speaker 1: Alanya texted me and I wrote her that her husband
Speaker 1: inspires me. And he does. He inspires me.
Speaker 3: It really is amazing.
Speaker 2: And then when when everything settled and I was on
Speaker 2: the phone with both of you, and I did report
Speaker 2: this on Fox when I was on yesterday again, I
Speaker 2: apologize once for calling Steve Winn, who's also a friend
Speaker 2: of mine too.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good guy to be to be to be
Speaker 1: called yeah.
Speaker 3: Well you're pretty great, and you're in your own way.
Speaker 3: And at that.
Speaker 2: Point in time when anything, everything was settled in me
Speaker 2: and thank everybody knew, everybody was safe, knew that the
Speaker 2: incident it was under control. Then I'm on the phone
Speaker 2: with both of you, and then he's like Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: After Butler, he got up and he said fight, fight, fight,
Speaker 2: and then he said, Steve, will you please tell Shawn.
Speaker 2: I was even up until the fifth hole, and then
Speaker 2: I was putting for Bertie and I really wanted to
Speaker 2: finish that butt.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean to me, it should most people probably be
Speaker 2: crawled up at a ball by that time.
Speaker 1: Well, you would You would think that after two attempts
Speaker 1: on his life in a two month, you know, inside
Speaker 1: of a two month span, that he would have some
Speaker 1: element of PTSD. And I just think that any normal
Speaker 1: person would and he just wills it away.
Speaker 3: His really is amazing.
Speaker 1: He will right. And I'm convinced why. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that he believes he has to set an
Speaker 1: example to the rest of the people in this country
Speaker 1: that he is a real leader and that he is
Speaker 1: not going to be cowed and he is not going
Speaker 1: to bow to this type of intimidation or even an
Speaker 1: attempt on his life.
Speaker 2: Well, that the land of the Free and the home
Speaker 2: of the braver not just words, but things that we
Speaker 2: should live by.
Speaker 3: Steve, stay right there.
Speaker 2: Steve Whitkoff was playing golf with President Trump yesterday during
Speaker 2: the assassination attempt. More of this story on the other side.
Speaker 2: He'll also join us on TV tonight nine Eastern on
Speaker 2: the Fox News Channel. We got fifty days till election Day,
Speaker 2: and early voting starts tomorrow in Pennsylvania and then rolls
Speaker 2: out around the country. It is now time to it's
Speaker 2: game time. I hope everybody's paying attention. Steve Woofkoff is
Speaker 2: with us. He is a developer of real estate, investor,
Speaker 2: chairman CEO of the Witcoff Group. He's also a personal
Speaker 2: friend of mine. I had breakfast with him yesterday prior
Speaker 2: to him then going to play golf with President Trump,
Speaker 2: and he was there for the entire assassination attempt. And
Speaker 2: it has to be a harrowing experience. And let me
Speaker 2: now ask the hard part, Steve, because there are things
Speaker 2: that are very troubling to me and to many others.
Speaker 2: And having spoken with Eric and Laura Trump, I know
Speaker 2: this is very troubling to them as well, and that
Speaker 2: is that we had Butler Pennsylvania come down. I have
Speaker 2: a report right here in front of me, and it
Speaker 2: was put out by Josh Hawley from earlier today, and
Speaker 2: it is a whistleblower report failures of the US Secret
Speaker 2: Service in connection with the attempt at assassination of former
Speaker 2: President Donald J.
Speaker 3: Trump.
Speaker 2: It is what Richard Blumenthal described it would be the
Speaker 2: Democrat from Connecticut last week, and that is shocking, it
Speaker 2: is alarming. The failures are on a spectacular level. I
Speaker 2: do know that we learned that an eagle eized Secret
Speaker 2: Service agent spotted the barrel of the gun in the
Speaker 2: bushes not far from where you guys were playing that
Speaker 2: fifth hole and where the former president was with you.
Speaker 2: You were within just a couple of yards of the president.
Speaker 2: That means bullets would have been whizzing by your head
Speaker 2: and you might not even be alive today. And the
Speaker 2: thought of losing two friends is just too much for
Speaker 2: me to bear, to be very honest, and what's troubling
Speaker 2: to me and to Eric, and to Laura and to
Speaker 2: many Americans, is how is it possible that the Secret
Speaker 2: Service and again the people around you you describe as heroic,
Speaker 2: and I agree completely with you. They're amazing, But there's
Speaker 2: something wrong in how they are protecting the president. If people,
Speaker 2: in this case, somebody with an AK forty seven with
Speaker 2: a scope on it can be within three hundred yards
Speaker 2: of the former president and top Republican presidential candidate, the
Speaker 2: nominee for president in an election fifty days away, how
Speaker 2: does that happen?
Speaker 3: There's a problem here.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'd say a few things. The first
Speaker 1: is that and it's redundant, but it's relevant is that
Speaker 1: this team on the ground did an ex exemplary job. Sean,
Speaker 1: They were incredible.
Speaker 2: Everything you've described is they were perfect. They were amazing.
Speaker 1: They were perfect. And this gentleman, this Secret Service agent
Speaker 1: who was in charge of going forward, he identified them,
Speaker 1: but apparently the Secret Service agent on the outside perimeter
Speaker 1: had just missed them. He was scanning like he should,
Speaker 1: and he had just missed the guy. The guy basically
Speaker 1: planted himself there shortly after he left, and so they
Speaker 1: missed him in that coverage. But they caught him in
Speaker 1: the inside coverage, and that's the reason why nobody was
Speaker 1: tragically injured or killed. God forbid. So they did an
Speaker 1: exemplary job. Now I heard, and this is just what
Speaker 1: I heard on the news. I heard from the Palm
Speaker 1: Beach sheriff that the president is not given a presidential detail,
Speaker 1: which of course makes no sense to me. It makes
Speaker 1: sense to me that his detail were to be augmented
Speaker 1: or amplified or or made smaller depending on what the
Speaker 1: threat level is. And given what the threat level is
Speaker 1: based on Butler, and given what some of the security
Speaker 1: alerts I've heard about coming from the Iranians are, I
Speaker 1: would think that he would have at least a presidential
Speaker 1: detail worth of manpower, and yet he didn't that day.
Speaker 1: So it's hard to imagine that with someone like President
Speaker 1: Trump that he wouldn't get the full complement of people
Speaker 1: necessary to guard him correctly. That's what too. Eric is
Speaker 1: a marksman, He's a hunter. He's a marksman. He knows
Speaker 1: about these things pretty well because he practices that, he's
Speaker 1: competed and so forth. And he's got a good point
Speaker 1: in that maybe some of the security protocols i e.
Speaker 1: Broadening out the boundaries within which you guard him. That
Speaker 1: has to happen because it's the rifle that's the most dangerous,
Speaker 1: and there are people out there today that can take
Speaker 1: shots from a mile out, and that's a you know,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a pretty complicated procedure to guard a
Speaker 1: mile out in a three hundred and sixty degree corrider,
Speaker 1: so you know from where the president is at any
Speaker 1: one time, kenne.
Speaker 2: Can, I just as as an observation, say that they
Speaker 2: ought to have their own sniper capability with scopes up
Speaker 2: at a high perch looking out around an entire perimeter,
Speaker 2: that full mile. Because I did speak to Eric yesterday
Speaker 2: and he was hitting targets over a mile away. That
Speaker 2: to me would have to be the perimeter at least
Speaker 2: for a president or somebody that has had as many
Speaker 2: threats as President Trump. I would argue he's probably the
Speaker 2: top political target in the country today. Obviously he is,
Speaker 2: because he's now experienced this twice.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, And you know, Sean, I've been
Speaker 1: out with the president at the rally. I was with
Speaker 1: him just recently on nine to eleven. I was with
Speaker 1: him at the rally the night before. When you go
Speaker 1: to the airport. They've got sharpshooters now sniper teams in
Speaker 1: elevated places, and they're looking and there's multiple teams out there.
Speaker 1: It's very clear, and they've got their guns trained in
Speaker 1: all the different directions based on where the President could
Speaker 1: be at any particular moment, from the moment that he
Speaker 1: leaves his car, gets on, the plane gets off. So
Speaker 1: I saw that you see that happen at the airports.
Speaker 1: This is not I'm not good enough to understand where
Speaker 1: the different where the different points are at that golf club,
Speaker 1: first of all, I go there with the president, never
Speaker 1: thinking that this could ever happen. The President never thinks
Speaker 1: that this could ever happen. He says things to me
Speaker 1: about this club repeatedly, What do you think about this?
Speaker 1: I call it our sanctuary. I played five hundred rounds
Speaker 1: of golf with him there. It's a peaceful place.
Speaker 2: No wonder why I'm never going to play with you,
Speaker 2: because you're gonna crush me. I haven't played five hundred
Speaker 2: rounds in my life. But let me ask a serious question.
Speaker 2: If there's ever been a picture of Donald Trump playing golf,
Speaker 2: the odds are it was a photographer hiding in these
Speaker 2: very bushes where this assassin was, and otherwise you can't
Speaker 2: get a good picture of President Trump playing golf.
Speaker 3: And this is what photographers do.
Speaker 2: They get paid big money if they can get a
Speaker 2: picture that is rare, and that would be a rare
Speaker 2: picture with that said, on Congress Avenue, knowing that it
Speaker 2: is such a short distance, why wouldn't there be agents
Speaker 2: on Congress Avenue making sure nobody walks into the area
Speaker 2: by the bushes. Why wasn't that surveiled prior to the
Speaker 2: President making the turn and going up? Playing the par
Speaker 2: three in the par four that you were playing to me,
Speaker 2: this is a failure. And I want to back up.
Speaker 2: I am so supportive of the Secret Service like you.
Speaker 2: Over the years, I've met so many of these guys,
Speaker 2: and I've come to love them and anybody that's willing
Speaker 2: to give their life to save another's life, and no
Speaker 2: greater love hath the man to do that right, And
Speaker 2: I admire them so much. And we see them in action.
Speaker 2: We've seen them now in action twice with President Trump.
Speaker 2: And you're describing everything I know about them, But that
Speaker 2: does not negate the intelligence failure, the obvious failure in
Speaker 2: this case or in the case that we've discovered in Butler,
Speaker 2: and I'm very concerned that somebody with an AK forty
Speaker 2: seven and a scope is three hundred yards away from
Speaker 2: the president, because you, if you are a marginally decent shooter,
Speaker 2: you really can't miss from that distance.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I share your concern too, And I would
Speaker 1: imagine that if you talk to the detail that was
Speaker 1: there yes today, they would say the Secret Service detail,
Speaker 1: they would say the same thing. Look, I've witnessed how
Speaker 1: they react. They're all pros. Every one of them would
Speaker 1: give their life. Every one of them would feel a
Speaker 1: sense of a men's sorrow. I think every one of
Speaker 1: them felt the sense of a men's sorrow from what
Speaker 1: happened at Butler and how close he came to that.
Speaker 1: So it's not about their attitude. These guys, they do
Speaker 1: their job well, they're pros, and most of them really
Speaker 1: really care about Donald Trump. I know that to be
Speaker 1: a fact.
Speaker 2: I think those are the Are we delineating between the
Speaker 2: people that you are describing perfectly as heroic yesterday? Are
Speaker 2: we delineating between them and the people that are responsible
Speaker 2: to make sure that nobody can get within three hundred
Speaker 2: yards with AK forty seven and a scope because I'm
Speaker 2: making it a very clear distinction here, and I know
Speaker 2: it's a tough conversation to have, but to me, it's
Speaker 2: a very obvious failure. And you know now that I
Speaker 2: know the details and the layout of that golf course,
Speaker 2: and having looked at it and spoken to you and
Speaker 2: spoken to Ronda Santis and others that have played it
Speaker 2: and played it regularly and spoken to the president, I mean,
Speaker 2: this is the most dangerous point on that golf course,
Speaker 2: and with the trees involved and the fence involved, the
Speaker 2: idea if it was Look how close this got. There
Speaker 2: was one report today that said an eagle eyed Secret
Speaker 2: Service agent spotted the barrel of the gun and the
Speaker 2: bushes a few hundred yards from where the president was playing.
Speaker 2: This guy was teed up and ready to go. And
Speaker 2: I think the President came a lot closer to being
Speaker 2: assassinated yesterday than we know now. That tells me he
Speaker 2: had his sight, he had his GoPro, he had his backpacks,
Speaker 2: he had been waiting there, and he was ready to
Speaker 2: take the shot. And had this one agent not seen
Speaker 2: the barrel of that gun, this would be a very
Speaker 2: different show today.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't disagree with that, with
Speaker 1: how you're describing it. But thank god that one heroic
Speaker 1: agent did see that barrel of the gun, and thank
Speaker 1: god when those shots went off, I was able to see. Look.
Speaker 1: I consider it, as crazy as this may sound to you, Sean,
Speaker 1: I consider it my honor and blessing to have witnessed
Speaker 1: everything I saw yesterday. It was almost as if, you know,
Speaker 1: I buried his son, and I say, my son puts
Speaker 1: me in these places. It was almost as if he
Speaker 1: put me there, He put me on that green so
Speaker 1: I could witness what my dear friend went through a
Speaker 1: month and a half ago and what it must be
Speaker 1: like for him. So I saw these valiant agents and
Speaker 1: how they responded. I saw the president almost fearless, less
Speaker 1: concerned about his own self than the welfare of his friends.
Speaker 1: And I agree with you that you know, something's got
Speaker 1: to be done to address some of these issues that
Speaker 1: you've raised. But I don't know if it's a question
Speaker 1: of manpower, and you know, the Secret Service having you know,
Speaker 1: typical bureaucratic aspects to it, and the president not getting
Speaker 1: enough staff, or if there was a lap somewhere. I
Speaker 1: know this what I witnessed yesterday was heroism. There's no
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind. I never got onto that golf cart.
Speaker 1: I just watched and turned around, watching, mesmerized by what
Speaker 1: I saw.
Speaker 2: Well, you and I need to have a personal conversation
Speaker 2: about you just standing up with the whole incident, not
Speaker 2: getting not going for cover. I've got to have a
Speaker 2: conversation with you about personal safety and security for yourself.
Speaker 2: And I say that lovingly as your friends.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, you know what I you know
Speaker 1: what I call it, Sean, It's the Donald Trump influence.
Speaker 1: Just all stand a little bit taller, be a little
Speaker 1: more fearless, stand up a stand up for what we
Speaker 1: believe in a little bit more. He I think he
Speaker 1: inspires all of us to do that. He inspired us
Speaker 1: that day when he stood up and raised his vest.
Speaker 2: And that's why I kind of once he knew everybody
Speaker 2: was safe, and I was on the phone with both
Speaker 2: of you and he said, Steve, I was playing. I
Speaker 2: was playing really well, right And you go, yes, you corse, sir,
Speaker 2: And he goes, and I had a birdie putt And
Speaker 2: you're like, yes, ah, because I wish I could have
Speaker 2: got the birdie putt in. But it was only after
Speaker 2: he knew everybody was safe, which again that's a resiliency
Speaker 2: that we all can learn something from. Just like fight,
Speaker 2: fight fight. Listen, you're a dear friend. I'm very grateful
Speaker 2: you're safe, that the President's save. We definitely need changes.
Speaker 2: We cannot have assassins or would be assassins that close
Speaker 2: to any highly elected official, let alone a former president
Speaker 2: and top presidential candidate. We can't have it. Steve Whitcoff,
Speaker 2: we'll see on TV tonight. We really do appreciate all
Speaker 2: the extra time he gave us.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend, thank you, thank you for having me.
Speaker 3: All Right, that's gonna wrap things.
