The President asked about it as he was 65 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 5: in New York at the United Nations. Now, before I 66 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 5: let you hear what he had to say, let me 67 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 5: give you some of the background. The charges were federal charges. 68 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 5: There were multiple counts, including attempted assassination of a major 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 5: president or candidate at the time. It was Donald Trump 70 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 5: assaulting a federal officer, a Secret Service agent, possessing a 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 5: firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, being a 72 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 5: convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of 73 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 5: a firearm with the serial number removed. Those were all 74 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: of the major crimes he was charged with. Now, you've 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 5: got to go back to September the fifteenth last year, 76 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 5: when the Ruthers found in the shrubbery with a semi 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 5: automatic rifle near Trump's US Palm Beach golf Course, mar Lago, 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 5: and Trump was there golfing at the time. He had 79 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 5: done surveillance, had burner phones. He was spotted by a 80 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 5: Secret Service agent. He fled, and then he was later arrested. Now, 81 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 5: the defense stance was number one weird. He literally represented 82 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 5: himself at trial. He argued in closing that he didn't 83 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 5: intend to kill anyone and that no shots were ever fired. 84 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 5: Why well, because they saw him and he decided to run. Now, 85 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 5: his alibi there didn't work with a jury he's now 86 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 5: been found guilty. Jury deliberation time was actually less than 87 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 5: three hours. Some sources say it was about two and 88 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 5: a half hours, and the outcome was this. He was 89 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 5: found guilty on all federal charges. The sentencing will now 90 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 5: be second stage of this and he faced his life 91 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 5: in prison. The sentencing is now scheduled on December the eighteenth. Now, 92 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: that is when things got crazy after he was found guilty. 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 5: Immediately after the verdict was read, then Ruth the attempted 94 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 5: to stab himself in the neck with a pen. He 95 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 5: was quickly restrained by the US Marshals. He appeared uninjured afterwards, 96 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 5: with no visible blood. The Associated Press reported his daughter 97 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 5: was present and reacted emotionally in the courtroom, calling out 98 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 5: to him. Now, there's also another big part of the story. 99 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 5: The President has now responded, and I want you to 100 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 5: listen carefully to what he had to say at the 101 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 5: United Nations. 102 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: Mister President, Ryan Ruth, the man who tried to assassinate 103 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: you has been convicted and found guilty. 104 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: What is your response to Nick. 105 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 6: I'm very appreciative of the justice that was given and 106 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 6: the way it was handled by Pam Bondi and Todd 107 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 6: Blanche and everybody that has been and their team of people. 108 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 6: It was really well handled, and it's very important. You 109 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 6: can't let things like that happen. Nothing to do with me, 110 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 6: but a president or even a person, you can't allow 111 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 6: that to happen. And so justice was served and we'll 112 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 6: see what happens. But I very much appreciate the judge, 113 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 6: a jury, and everybody on that it was so professionally 114 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 6: handled his great honor. 115 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 5: You also noticed there the President did not either a 116 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 5: no or was not asked about the attempted suicide. And 117 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 5: let me get back to that part of the story. 118 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 5: That happened after the jurors exit the courtroom, and that's 119 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 5: when the ruth attempted to stab himself in the neck 120 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 5: with the pen, prompting those marshals to drag him out 121 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 5: of the courthouse. The outlet also reported that his daughter screamed, Dad, 122 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 5: I love you, don't do anything. I'll get you out. 123 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 5: He didn't hurt anybody. She also continued to yell. Now, 124 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 5: as I mentioned a moment ago, he is convicted of 125 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 5: attempting to assassinate a major political candidate, presidential candidate, possessing 126 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 5: a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting 127 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 5: a federal officer, possessing a firearm in ammunition as a 128 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 5: convicted fellow, and possessing a firearm without a serial number 129 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 5: that was scratched off. He is fifty nine and he 130 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 5: did not testify at his trial. In his closing argument, however, 131 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 5: he told the jurors he didn't intend to kill anyone 132 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 5: that day. He rests his case Monday morning, after questioning 133 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 5: just three witnesses, a firearm expert and two character witnesses 134 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 5: that all coming from the Associated Press. The jury clearly 135 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 5: wasn't buying what he was trying to sell. And now 136 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 5: we know the outcome. Now you can also expect an appeal. 137 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 5: I am sure that is something that will be discussed, 138 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: and maybe next time he'll actually have legal representation in 139 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 5: the court room. But as of now, the President of 140 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 5: United States of America, as he put it, said, this 141 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 5: is something we had to make sure happened, not for me, 142 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 5: but for every political candidate, every presidential candidate. We must 143 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 5: stop having this type of violence in this country. 144 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: Now. Story number two. 145 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 5: Secret Service is now announcing that they have busted a 146 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 5: massive network that has been used in swatting attacks against Republicans. Now, 147 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 5: if you don't know what swatting is, I'll explain. 148 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: It this way. 149 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 5: It's where you call in a fake crisis situation, a 150 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 5: fake hostage situation, to the address of where a conservative lives, 151 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 5: specifically an elected official or conservative commentator, to then put 152 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 5: their life at risk with a massive response, a swat 153 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 5: team is sent in.

Upon further investigation, 172 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 5: they found a sophisticated network of SIM servers capable of 173 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 5: generating enormous amounts of phone traffic while rapidly switching out 174 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 5: want simcards to evade detection. 175 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 4: I want you to take a listen to Matt McCool. 176 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 5: He is a special Agent in charge of the Secret 177 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 5: Services New York Field Office, and the network, as he 178 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 5: described it, posed an imminent threat to the agency's protective operations. 179 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 5: They said the servers were strategically positioned around New York 180 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 5: cellular network infrastructure so that it could overwhelm the cell towers, 181 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 5: disrupt cell service, and put the entire city of New 182 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 5: York at risk. Take a listen in his announcement today. 183 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 2: My name is Matt McCool, and I'm the special Agent 184 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: in charge of the Secret Service New York Field Office. 185 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: We are making this announcement as a matter of public 186 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: interest given timing, amount and concentration of material recovered during 187 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: a recent Secret Service protective intelligence investigation. Following multiple telecommunications 188 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: related imminent threats directed towards senior US government officials this spring, 189 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: the US Secret Service began a protective intelligence investigation to 190 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: determine the extent and impact these threats could have on 191 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: protective operations. This was a difficult and complex effort to 192 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: identify the source of these fraudulent calls and the impact 193 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: on the Secret Service protective mission. During this period, we 194 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: leveraged technical assistance and support of federal partners, including Homeland 195 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: Security investigations, the Department of Justice, and the Office of 196 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,239 Speaker 2: the Director of National Intelligence. We also received phenomenal support 197 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 2: from our state and local law enforcement partners, to include 198 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: the NYPD. The investigation led us to the New York 199 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: tri state area, where investigators discovered tens of thousands of 200 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: co located and network sailor devices capable of carrying out 201 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: nefarious telecommunications attacks. These devices allowed anonymous, encrypted communications between 202 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: potential threat actors and criminal enterprises, enabling criminal organizations to 203 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: operate undetected. This network had the potential to disable cell 204 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: phone towers and essentially shut down the cellular network in 205 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: New York City. These devices were concentrated within thirty five 206 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: miles of the global meeting of the United Nations General 207 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: Assembly now underway in New York City. Given the timing, 208 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: location and proximity, and potential for significant disruptions to the 209 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 2: New York telecom system, we move quickly to disrupt this network. 210 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: To be clear, these recovered devices no longer pose a 211 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: threat to the New York tri state area. We will 212 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 2: continue working towards identifying those responsible in their intent, including 213 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: whether their plan was to disrupt the UN General Assembly 214 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: and communications of government and emergency personnel during the official 215 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 2: visit of world leaders in and around New York City. 216 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: Forensic examinations of the equivalent of one hundred thousand cell 217 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 2: phones worth of data is underway. Early analysis indicates cellular 218 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: communications between foreign actors and individuals that are known to 219 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,359 Speaker 2: federal law enforcement. Given the sensitivity and complexity of this investigation, 220 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: we are not able to go into specifics at this time. 221 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: This is an open and active investigation and we have 222 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: no arrest to announce today. Rather, this announcement is designed 223 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: to safeguard critical infrastructure and responsibly provide the public what 224 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: we can at this time. The Secret Service will continue 225 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: to run down all leads until we fully understand the 226 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: intent of the operation and identify those responsible. 227 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 5: Truly incredible there from Matt McCool, the Special Agent in 228 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 5: charge of the Secret Service in New York's Field Office. 229 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 5: The pictures that have been released of these rooms that 230 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 5: have been filled with these servers and these simcards and 231 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 5: to overrun the cell towers was a level of sophistication 232 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 5: that is of professionals. This is not amateur and part 233 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 5: of the reason why I think they're making it so 234 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 5: clear how big of an issue this was and what 235 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 5: was happening. 236 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 237 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
