WEBVTT - How Could Another Attempt Happen? - September 16th, Hour 1

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>of you for being with us. Right down our toll

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:08.959
<v Speaker 1>free telephone number, it's eight hundred and ninety four one

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Sean if you want to be a part of the

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>program today fifty days till election Day, this is an

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>inflection point for this country. I hope you feel a

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>sense of real purpose and energy and an urgency about

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the future of this country. Because of Kamala Harris, with

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>her radical views, unvetted by a corrupt institution known as

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the state run media mob is able to hide duck

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>weave dodge her way into the White House. I predict

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>this country will be unrecognizable four years from now. In

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, early voting starts today tomorrow, and

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>then it will now unfold very quickly. We have all

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the details of this on Hannity dot com. Register when

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>early voting starts in your state. We put it up

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.479
<v Speaker 1>as a public service. We hope you'll take advantage of it.

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It has been a really, really hard weekend in a

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of ways, and a very revealing weekend. Any of

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you that might have been watching Fox coverage know that

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I was on the air quite a bit my friend

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Steve Whitkoff. Steve is a real estate developer, investor, one

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of the nicest guys you'll ever meet in your life,

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 1>one of the most generous people you'll ever meet in

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>your life. We were with another friend of ours, another

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>guy that also is one of the most generous people

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you'd ever want to know or meet with in life. Anyway,

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>we had gone to breakfast on Sunday morning together and

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>we'd like to go to this hole in the wall.

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are these are pretty successful people we love.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not even I shouldn't say that, because it's like

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>my favorite place. It's called the City Diner. And and

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we met up there and we had breakfast together. They

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>have the best breakfast. They have the best Patty melt,

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the best Philly Chief steak that you're gonna get in Florida,

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>period and a sentence. Have the best burgers overall, the

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>best menu I've ever had in my life. I just

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>love the food. The owner is one of the nicest

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.239
<v Speaker 1>people you ever med. So we all meet there together

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and we're having breakfast together, just three friends. And Steve

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>is is and Steven my other friend or they're about

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to go over to see President Trump, and I usually

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>don't hang out at Trump clubs because of my job

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and covering him. He's been nice enough to invite me

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>on occasion, and I usually decline unless it's business related

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and I just you know, and he and Steve all

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>through Brea. Come on, come play golf with Liss Now.

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Steve is a really good golfer. The President's a really

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>good golfer. I have. I've played like three times in

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the last five years. I just don't have time to

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>play golf. I used to play quite a bit. I

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>was getting better and better, and one day, when I

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>have a little bit more time, I would like to

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>get back to it. But I'm not going to be

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>ready to play. And I'm just like Steve. I'm not

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>playing with both of you because I just it's going

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to annoy me because I'm too competitive and I don't

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>want to get killed that bad. Long story short. We

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>have a great breakfast, they go to they've had a

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>meeting with President Trump. I was not a part of that,

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and they had the meeting at Trump International in West

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Palm Beach and the next thing I know, I get

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a call from Steve Whitcoff. He goes they just fired

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>four shots while the President and I were playing golf.

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>He at the time he thought the shots were fired

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>at the President and I'm like, you know, my heart sinks,

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, is everybody okay? He starts giving me

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the details of what happened, and he's going to share

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that story with all of you later in the program

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>today in his own words, not my words, and it

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>is it is beyond harrowing to me. And on the

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>one hand, you have Secret Service agents within second Steve

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 1>describes jumping on the president doing their job, willing to

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>lay down their life for another. You know, no greater

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>love hath right a man to do such, and they

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>did it. They did it with professionalism and expertise. And

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Steve told me, he said he never even crouched down

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>because he was so mesmerized by the quickly unfolding events

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in front of him. And thankfully they got the President

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>out of harm's way within seconds. And we didn't find

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>out until hours later that the shots were fired by

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the Secret Service agent. And you know, we say this

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>on a day. Remember last week we heard from Richard Blumenthal,

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Senator from from Connecticut, that he thought the

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>American people would be shocked, astonished, appalled about the report

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Secret Service failures and the Trump assassination attempt.

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Senator Josh Hawley here we are one day after the

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>second attempt. He has a new report out. We'll go

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>into some of the details of it. The Whistleblower Report

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Failures of the United States Secret Service. It's also the

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Department of Homeland Security in connection with the attempted assassination

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a former President Donald Trump. This is the Butler of

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania case that they're going into detail with. And how

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>is it possible that somebody with a rifle and you know,

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a yardage find, a yard finder, whatever you call those things,

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, a yard marker, was able to scope out

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and fire a shot and come within a millimeter of

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>assassinating President Trump. What we now know is even worse

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>than what I knew when I was on the air

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>yesterday because I now know the layout after speaking with

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Eric Trump, Laura Trump, and I spoke to Governor DeSantis

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>briefly last night, and other people that were familiar with

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 1>the course, and my buddy Steve Whitcough. And now that

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I know the layout of this golf course, there is

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a part of me, that is very proud of our

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Secret Service, those people that Steve described to me as

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the most heroic people he'd ever witnessed in his life.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, not only you know, putting themselves in harm's

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>way to protect the president, but how quickly other Secret

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Service agents in an open field put out their tripods.

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 1>They knew the direction where the shot had been fired,

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and they were literally in an open field, being an

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>open target, sort of like the field where Steve Schalice

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.359
<v Speaker 1>got shot in. Those two officers at the time that

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>were walking through a field, going up against a high

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>powered rifle with a pistol in their hand, you're almost

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a dead duck. But they did it anyway. Those officers,

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol police officers were amazing that day, just like

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>these Secret Service guys next to the president around the president,

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they were amazing yesterday. But that's not where the failure

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>came in. Butler, Pa, we had somebody with a long

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>range rifle that that had the President not turned, his

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>head would have been assassinated. And and we have in

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>this case. You know, this is the most vulnerable area

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>turns out of the golf course, because this it's it's part,

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it's holes four and five of part three, and what

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>they call a driveable par four, meaning you could reach

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the green in one shot if you're if you're a

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty good driver. And and and the President apparently was

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be plotting for Birdie on this particular hole.

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>And long story short, if it wasn't for one agent,

0:07:54.400 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>just one that spotted the an eagle eyed agent, sacred

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>service agent just spotted the barrel of the gun in

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the bushes a few hundred yards from what's called Congress Avenue.

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>This is in West Palm Beach, where the golf course is.

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>And what makes this the most dangerous area of the

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>golf courses. You have a street very very close to

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>these two holes. It is known for the fact that

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>paparazzi photographers often hide out in the bushes and also

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>concealed by a fence, and that's where they might get

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>an image or a video of President Trump playing golf.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>It's there's nowhere else really on the golf course where

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get any good kind of picture unless

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you have a telephoto lens of some kind that's incredibly

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>expensive and powerful. And this is where now we learn

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that another assassin in this case about three hundred or

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>so yards away from President Trump at an AK forty

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>seven with a scope. Now, like the case in Butler,

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>this case in West PONMD Beach is very similar because

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>this rifle, if you have marginal skill, you don't have

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:12.599
<v Speaker 1>to be a rifle marksman. This is with a scope

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>at that distance, it would be the equivalent of a

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>one foot putt in golf or a layup in basketball.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you have a free layup in basketball,

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>odds are you're not going to miss that shot. You know,

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>if you have again, marginal skill, is a basketball player

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>marginal And but for one secret Service agent spotting the

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:40.079
<v Speaker 1>barrel of that gun in the bushes just three hundred

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>or so yards from where the former president was playing

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>golf and presidential candidate, then we would be reporting about

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>an assassination of Donald Trump today. Now, the fact that

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the guy took the shot at the guy in the

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>bushes by seeing the barrel of the gun, and that

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>we also learned that this guy had a Apparently there

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>were his cell phone ping to that location at about

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>one point thirty in the morning the night before, meaning

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that he was probably there all night or very likely

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>there all night, tells me that another massive security failure

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>has occurred. And I don't again I'm praising the Secret

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Service around the president. It's it's not in my nature

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to want to criticize law enforcement or people by the

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 1>very definition of their job is to is to take

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>a bullet for somebody again biblically no grade, to love

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>how the man and to lay down their life for

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>someone else. And that's who these people are. And these

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>are the people I've gotten to know. But they're if

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you're getting within one hundred and thirty yards and three

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards of Donald Trump, probably one of the top targets,

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>we've got a big problem. And that's what happened here.

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And something is radically wrong. The only thing I didn't like,

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and I happen to be very very fond of the

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>sheriffs and law enforcement in general in Florida, especially compared

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to when I lived in New York. It is night

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and day. This is not a defund dismantled, no bail

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>law state. This is a law and order state. You

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>don't get to commit crimes and get away with it.

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>In the state of Florida. Then there are some areas

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that are more high crime areas than others, but that's

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>not the point. Generally speaking, every sheriff or member of

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a sheriff's department I've ever met, every police officer I've

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.079
<v Speaker 1>ever met down these are the best of the best.

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>You have people leaving, you know, law enforcement and blue

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>states because they want to be supported, and they are supported,

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and then they were given big bonuses by Governor Rond

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>De Santis if they would leave the states that they

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>were in and get the support that they wanted to

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>come down here, fully trained and get on the job.

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 1>They're amazing people. But I didn't like that. I said, well,

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the security is not the same for Donald Trump because

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>he's not the president, but he's the number one target

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's were fifty days out of an election and

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>was sixty some odd days out of a previous assassination attempt.

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't look. I didn't particularly like that answer.

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he misspoke. But the problem with all of this

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>is this one street is it is it is very

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously a security problem if the president is playing this

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>golf course because of the close proximity of the bushes,

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the trees and the fence to wear the hole that

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the president was on to that street and The obvious

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>answer is is we needed somebody to be on that street.

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Probably a couple of people were certainly drone footage where

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 1>in real time people were watching what was going on there.

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And I thought originally that had happened, because both Steve

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>even President Trump relaid that to me when I spoke

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to them after the shooting. And this guy was if

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't for the sharp eye of one agent, the

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>odds are very high Donald Trump was assassinated today. This

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>can't happen in this country. It is shocking, it is appalling,

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>it is I don't even have words to describe this

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to you. Now, Steve will tell you about all the

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 1>heroism of the people around the president and those those

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>men and women are phenomenal. But how do we allow

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>somebody with an AK forty seven and a scope to

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>get again, get that close to assassinating Donald Trump. There's

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>something radically wrong. Now, we're learning a lot more about

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Butler today, and we'll go over some of the findings

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>in this whistleblower report. And we've learned a lot about

0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the accused attempt the guy that wanted to be the

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>assassin in this case, but he was. Now, you know,

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>in the sniper's nest. We're told for twelve hours before

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>he was spotted by the Secret Service. That area had

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to have been checked considering the close proximity to the

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>hole in the golf course and the cover that it

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>would provide any would be assassin like in this case. Anyway,

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we got a lot of ground to cover today. Eight

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred and nine four one, Shawn is number. If you

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>want to be a part of the program, all right,

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>we're going to go through the background history and you know,

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the and then we're going to hear from Steve Whitcoff.

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>He was with the President yesterday when this assassination attempt

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>was taking place. We do have monumental failures that have

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>got to be dealt with immediately. There's no there's no

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>window here. Governor Ron DeSantis, I know because I spoke

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to him last night, you know, and and then he

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 1>tweeted out about this or we put on social media.

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, any resources that that they need if they're

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>shorter resources. You know, Florida for one state, and I

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>would imagine every state would provide for any presidential candidate

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>if they're shorter of resources. But there's got to be

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>proper coordination but you can't have assassins one hundred and

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty and three hundred or so yards away from any

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 1>high ranking politician or presidential candidate. Solid as a rock, honestutful.

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the Sean Hannity Show, hight twenty five Now

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>till the top of the hour. Eight hundred and nine

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 1>to four one, Shawn is a number. Only fifty days

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>till election Day. Early voting starts tomorrow in the Commonwealth

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>of Pennsylvania, will roll out around the country. It is

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>game time. I hope every one of you feel a

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 1>sense of urgency and have a belief in your heart,

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 1>your mind, your soul that your vote may be the

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>final determining vote in this election. There is so much

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>at stake. It's not even really about necessarily us, as

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it is about our kids, about our grandkids. I mean,

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we just have to do everything we can do to

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>prevent this radicalism, new Green dealism, free sex change operations, housing, healthcare,

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 1>education for illegals, open borders, the biggest national security threat

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 1>in our lifetime. You know, the cost of democracy. Higher energy,

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>no fracking, no drilling. We can't allow these policies to

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>ever be put in place. And I'm just hoping that

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>enough of you feel that sense of urgency that I'm feeling.

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>With fifty days to go, I'm going to promise you

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>something right now, Election Day is going to be here.

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>You're going to blink your eyes and it's here. It's

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>not my first rodeo. I have been down this road

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and it happens very very quickly. Again. I will urge

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 1>all of you, even though you don't like it. I'm

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.439
<v Speaker 1>pretty much if I did a survey, it would be

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>ninety five to five. You would you prefer paper ballots,

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Election day and national holiday, proof of citizenship, voter ID

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, partisan observers,

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and every precinct around the country, watching the voting all day,

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the vote counting all night, you'd agree with me. It's

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 1>not the system I want either, but it's the system

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>we're stuck with. And I just have concluded they do

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 1>do it successfully here in my state of Florida, and

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you that they can do it. They're

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it better. A lot of states have put

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot of integrity measures in place that didn't exist

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty. Not enough, but a lot of changes

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of states, and I'm just saying that

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 1>we need to understand. We cannot start out election day

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>down hundreds of thousands of votes, and God forbids, something

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.719
<v Speaker 1>happens and you can't vote on election day. You're going

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to regret not voting early. In voting by mail and

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 1>there are states by the way you can follow your ballots.

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 1>We have all the details of registering and when early

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 1>voting starts in your state on Hannity dot Com. As

<v Speaker 1>has served. So we find ourselves in a situation where

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>we have now come very close to the assassination of

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. And ironically, and this had already been written,

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is a whistleblower report out. Senator Josh Hawley, who's on

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the Committee for Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs whistleblower report

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the failures of the US Secret Service in connection with

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the attempted assassination of former President Trump, and what they

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>detail is the failure of the Secret Service, the FBI,

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Homeland Security, and how they have all

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>tried to evade real accountability. These agencies, these leaders have

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:59.040
<v Speaker 1>slow walk congressional investigations. They have misled the American people.

0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading from the and their executive summary, they have

0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:07.400
<v Speaker 1>shirked their responsibility. In response, Senator Hawley, by the way,

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>remember we had him on he went to visit Butler, Pennsylvania,

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and they threw him out of the location immediately after

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.479
<v Speaker 1>the assassination attempt. Anyway, he opened up a whistleblower tip line.

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 1>He encouraged those with relevant information to tell their stories.

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought we praised whistleblowers, even hearsay whistleblowers. Right, These

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 1>many individuals have come forward with information and evidence regarding

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the events of July thirteenth. Will now need an investigation

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 1>into what happened yesterday. And that's from the Secret Service,

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Department of Homeland Security, and others. And the findings are

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>just as Senator blumens Ball said, that they would be

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.199
<v Speaker 1>and there's more to come. This is only, you know,

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>one part of the puzzle that the American people should

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 1>be shocked, astonished, and appalled. We are not a third

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.960
<v Speaker 1>world nation. We are better than this. They discovered the

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Secret Service Counter Surveillance Division, which performs threat assessments of

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:11.399
<v Speaker 1>event sites, did not perform their typical evaluation of the

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Butler site and was not present on the day of

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the rally. They found Secret Service personnel declined multiple offers

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 1>from local law enforcement partners to deploy drone technology, despite

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the fact that the would be assassin in this case

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:30.400
<v Speaker 1>used a drone to survey the rally site only hours

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>before the attempt at assassination. Something we had reported on

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that the Secret Services Office of Protective Operations Manpowered told

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.200
<v Speaker 1>agents in charge for the Butler Rally not to request

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>additional security resources because they would be denied. I can

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 1>tell you from my sources within the Trump campaign there

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>have been numerous, numerous, chronicled attempts to get more coverage

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:01.919
<v Speaker 1>and they have not been forthcoming in the lead up

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to this event in Butler, and even today, there's no

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 1>excuse that somebody could be three hundred yards away with

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the cover of trees and bushes and a fence that

0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 1>is hanging out. According to one report today for you know,

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.800
<v Speaker 1>twelve hours and then waiting for Donald Trump to turn

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 1>the corner and take a shot at him. And but

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>for one Secret Service agent, you know, seeing the barrel

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of a gun, Donald Trump would not be alive today.

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Nobody would really miss that shot at that distance. It's

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty unbelievable. But back to Butler. On July thirteenth, law

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>enforcement personnel abandoned the rooftop of the American Glass Research Building,

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.959
<v Speaker 1>the roof in which Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Donald Trump.

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>They abandoned it, we now find out, not because of

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.159
<v Speaker 1>the slope like they lied to us about, like the

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Secrets servicehead at the time they left, because of the

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>weather was hot. Well, it wasn't hot enough for the assassin.

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>The Secret Service lead site agent with the specific responsibility

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:16.199
<v Speaker 1>for security the rally site, including the line of site concerns,

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 1>was known to be incompetent. That incompetence led to the

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 1>placement of items like flags around the Butler stage and

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the catwalk, impairing visibility. A supplemental Department of Homeland Security

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>personnel were used to fill shortages of Secret Service personnel,

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and some DHS agents were pulled off child exploitation cases

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 1>for this reason, and the training they received was merely

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a poor quality two hour webinar. I mean, these these

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>findings are astonishing. I mean it's now too you know,

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Eric Trump said to me yesterday, well, cats have nine lives?

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 1>How many? How many lives left? Does my father have?

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>The lead agent responsible for the entire Butler visit, including

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.119
<v Speaker 1>the rally, failed a key examination during the federal law

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.479
<v Speaker 1>enforcement training to become an agent with the Secret Service.

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Secret Service Intelligence Unit teams you know, paired with state

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.159
<v Speaker 1>and local law enforcement were absent from the Butler rally.

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Why then we find out the hospital site where President

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump received treatment after the shooting was poorly secured and

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the hospital site agent could not answer basic questions about

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>site security, and to date, neither the Secret Service or

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the DHS has provided answers, and there remain many outstanding questions.

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Who within the Secret Service DHS made the decision to

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 1>deny counter sniper coverage in the rooftop from which Thomas

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Cook Crooks shot prior to assassinate President Trump. When will

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.919
<v Speaker 1>the Secret Service DHS publicly name the lead site agent

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 1>for the rally and the lead agent for the Butler visit.

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Did this US Secret Service Acting Service Director ever deny

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 1>resources to the Trump campaign or Secret Service counter sniper teams,

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:11.960
<v Speaker 1>as has been reported in the press. Then we learn

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 1>about how the rally was treated as a loose security event,

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 1>which is madness and insanity. Oh, that law enforcement abandoned

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.959
<v Speaker 1>the roof because quote, it was too hot. You know

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 1>that they can lay it down a tarp and you

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>could have a sniper on there and it wouldn't be

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 1>so hot as somebody that used to do roofing, you know,

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 1>in ninety one hundred degree worth weather. It's not fun.

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Counter Surveillance Division was not present there. The Butler rally

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 1>site was known to lack competence. Secret Service headquarters denied

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 1>additional manpower resources those allegations and the lack of training,

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and it goes on from there. It's terrible. It's like

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.240
<v Speaker 1>when you look at this golf course and you see

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 1>how close Congress Avenue is to the golf course on

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 1>this particular hole, you realize this person had planned this

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 1>whole thing out, and the fact that nobody was watching

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that nobody was in the bushes or

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 1>attempting to get in the bushes, you know, before the

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 1>President got on the golf course. Is madness to me?

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, then we've got other aspects of this, dude.

0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:25.919
<v Speaker 1>You know the media will play this on Hannity tonight.

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>They're actually blaming Donald Trump. Oh is he gonna calm

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 1>down his rhetoric? Now, I'm like, what what? This is

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 1>so sick? They're so ugly. This accused gunman hid in

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:47.159
<v Speaker 1>this sniper's nest for twelve hours before he spotted in

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 1>what seemed like the moment before he was about to

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.960
<v Speaker 1>pull the trigger. These two recent attempts on Trump's life

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 1>follow a long list of prominent Democrats. Well, they've called

0:27:56.880 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 1>for Trump's assassination, you know, I think an awful lot

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 1>about blowing up the White House, you know. Or how

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>many Democrats have called President Trump the second coming of

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Adolph Hitler, you know, or an existential threat to democracy.

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 1>But what are they saying to people go back to

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>when he first became president. I think an awful lot

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 1>about blowing up the White House. How do you not

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 1>get in trouble for that? Or Johnny depth you know,

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>invoking you know, John Wilkes Booth, when's the last time

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 1>we had an actor assassinated president? New York City Shakespeare

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>in the Park publicly funded. They put on a production

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of Julius Caesar, and when it came to the scene

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>where the Roman senator stabbed Julius to death, Caesar was

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 1>dressed in a blue suit, white shirt, red tie, and

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>he had bushy orange hair. Or Kathy Griffin deciding to

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>get in the act and holding a picture holding up

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a bloody decapitated head, or Maxi Waters, you know, saying,

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, with this kind of inspiration, I'll go and

0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 1>take Trump out tonight and we can go on to

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris supporting her own insurrection. The rioters aren't going

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to stop. They won't stop, they shouldn't stop, and we're

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 1>not going to stop. You have the wife of a

0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:19.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen impeachment witness making fun of yet another Trump assassination.

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 1>It's a third time in two months, and you know

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it's the former of impeachment witness wife down playing this

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>assassination attempt. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon. I won't

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 1>say who it is. I don't want to get non

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>public figures involved. The shooter made no secret is support

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 1>for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I'm not going to

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 1>blame Harris and Joe Biden for this, just like I

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't blame Bernie Sanders, you know, for the for the

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>shooting of Steve Scalise. You blame the person responsible. But

0:29:57.600 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that's not how Democrats play the game. They would they

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I would say Donald Trump, whether they're even saying it

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>in this case. This assassin a longtime Democratic donor. In

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:10.120
<v Speaker 1>case you're interested, he posted on x in twenty twenty,

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll be glad when Trump is gone. I don't know

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:15.800
<v Speaker 1>whether we can infer anything from that. The assassin's son

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 1>confirming his dad was a Trump pater, and I don't

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 1>like Trump either. My father hates Trump. Every reasonable person does.

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:29.320
<v Speaker 1>What did they think they were doing? God's will? You know?

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>We we learn, you know more and more details about

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 1>this This guy at a criminal record. It just it

0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>just it was so planned out. It is actually frightening

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>on a lot of different levels to me. And then

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 1>we got the news media in this country. You know,

0:30:47.600 --> 0:30:52.280

<v Speaker 1>The second you know Trump's assassination attempt that they try

0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to tie it to his rhetoric. Well, what did he

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:03.240
<v Speaker 1>say that talked to assassination? I heard just the opposite

0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>from him, Lester Holt, directly tying the failed shooting, you know,

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, to the to the rhetoric and blaming Trump

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:17.440
<v Speaker 1>for the latest albeit failed attempt on his life. The

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>same with you know msdn C. You know, the medium

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 1>mob wasting no time doing this or insinuating it is

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>probably the better way to put it. Lindsay Davis on

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:32.920

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>there and a guest saying Trumps supporters and the Trump

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 1>error for the extremism and rhetoric that led to Trump

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>getting shot. Oh so Trump's responsible. I got it. That's

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 1>how the media thinks in this country. It is sick,

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:56.440
<v Speaker 1>It is ugly, it is despicable. Anyway, eight hundred nine
