8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I was blessed and cursed both. I speak for both

00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: my wife and I to be at ground zero for

10
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: everything that went down at the Trump rally. I spoke

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: at the rally thirty minutes before the attack. Commander Melanie,

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: my wife and I spent time with the President, and

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: we were twenty feet away from the assassination attempt and

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: everything that followed. Tonight, you are going to get an

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: insider perspective on all of it. There are a lot

16
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: of talking heads out there that have a lot of

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: opinions on the rally, very few of them are actually there.

18
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: Commander Mellie and I were actually there. And also tonight

19

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: So thank you all. Folks. Listen to me this. Can

31
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: you believe that just last week we did an entire

32
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: show on the Big Boy Presser about whether not Biden

33
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: is staying or going and like whether or not he

34
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: craps his pants at a presser. Doesn't it feel like

35
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: an eternity has passed since then? Can you feel as

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: if like the tide has finally turned? And I'm not

37
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: trying to make to cheapen what happened, but so much

38
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: has happened over the past week, and it feels like

39
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: we're living in a different country, you know. And so

40
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: as of just today, the news has been changing so

41
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: so much. But the classified Docs case, bead eyed little

42
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: freak Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, that communist bastard that he

43
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: is Classified Docs case dismissed by Judge Cannon gone. So

44
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: Big Fanny case in Georgia gone, Judge Wan Murshawn. There

45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: is a in Sloppy Alvin Bragg up in New York.

46
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: There is a real good chance, because of the Supreme

47
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: Court's ruling on presidential immunity, that that case is going

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: to be declared a mistrial. That's gone Supreme Court completely gutted.

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Bead Eyed little freak, Jacksmith's special prosecutors cases in Washington, DC,

50
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: those are likely gone. Trump survives an assassination attempt on

51
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: the over the weekend. Are you tired of winning yet?

52
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm not tired of winning it. The only thing left

53
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: to do is actually win, and which we are on

54
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: our way to doing. We're not no talks of red wave,

55
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: no talks of landslides here on this show, because we're

56
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: going to bust our assets from now until election day.

57
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Can't deny the moment, right, And of course, just before

58
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: we come on this show, my friend jd Vance, Vice

59
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: President pick now, I told you, right, I kind of

60
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: called the jd Evan's thing. Now, I know many of

61
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: you have concerns, but I'm gonna need you all to

62
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: trust me on this. I know jd Vance, he's a friend,

63
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: He's come a long way. He understands the moment that

64
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: we are in. He understands what Trump represents. He is loyal.

65
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: You just just you might take a leap of faith,

66
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: but you've got to trust me on that. He is

67
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: a great and I mean great vice presidential pick for

68
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And I'm so psyched for him. I'm psyched

69
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: for his family, and I'm psyched for the president. You know,

70
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: jd Vance, there's a smart policy guy. He's he's he's

71
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: loyal to Donald Trump. He's a populist, wants to bring

72
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: American jobs back here to this country. Right wing populism

73
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: is so important in this moment. It's important to remember

74
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: that we don't just live and we don't just live

75
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: in an economy. We have a nation where it's our

76
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: leader's jobs to take care of people. And so I'm

77
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: hearing rumblings from in inside the Biden White House that

78
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, they just the staffers who surround Joe

79
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Biden have resigned themselves to a loss that it's only

80
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time before Biden loses to Trump.

81
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: And it's a great thing, America. It's a great thing

82
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: when your political foes morale has been totally wiped out.

83
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: And so it's our job now to not be complacent,

84
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: but to seize the initiative in advance on the political battlefield. Okay,

85
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: let's get to the subject of tonight's episode, and that's

86
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: the assassination attempt on President Trump. The Trump rally. You know, folks,

87
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: I've been on the stage with President Trump five times now.

88
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: I've been to Trump rallies many many times. They are

89
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: like a patriotic rock concert, exactly the opposite of what

90
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: the media have you believe that they are. Everything that

91
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: is good about America is at a Trump rally. You know,

92
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: we talk about the exceptional nature of this country. The

93
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: exceptional nature nature of this country is not and never

94
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: will be found in political leaders. Yes, of course, some

95
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: of them are larger than life. Trump is the right

96
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: man for the right moment. He believed that he was

97
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: put here on this earth like for a reason to

98
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: lead this country. Now. But what makes this country exceptional

99
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: and what makes Trump the man he is today. The

100
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: people of America and the people that go to that

101
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: that were at that Trump rally, those are the people

102
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: that built this country, whose family built this country. Those

103
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: are the people who love this country, who willing to

104
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: show up and sacrifice for this country. In some cases

105
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: served or their children serving, have a legacy of service.

106
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: Many of the people there were hammer swingers, carpenters, you

107
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: know mason worked in masonry, worked in unions, plumbers, electricians, teachers, veterans, cops.

108
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: They were all there. But something about this Trump rally

109
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: was different from the moment we walked in. And I

110
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: mean that, and I don't know if I can speak

111
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: for other folks who are there, who I'm sure are watching,

112
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: but it felt surreal to me in a lot of ways.

113
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: It felt like just something was in the air. And

114
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: so Commander to Melanie and I went in. We got

115
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity to meet with President Trump. We spent some

116
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: time with him. He asked about the state of play

117
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, said we're just going to bring into the

118
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: administration when we win. I guess he really liked my

119
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: He listened. The guy is so sharp. He listened to

120
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: my entire speech. On the way to the rally, He's like,

121
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: your speech was amazing. It's great. You're too talented to

122
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: be on the sidelines. And I'm not disclosing anything that

123
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I think he wouldn't be as like a private conversation.

124
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, if he brings me in into

125
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: his administration, great, I'd be happy to serve in any

126
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: way that he thinks would be appropriate. I mean, that

127
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: would be an honor. But if it doesn't happen, I

128
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: understand that too. I'm just saying he's like, he looks

129
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: at my wife, Melanie, goes, what happened to your husband

130
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: with those ballots in twenty twenty? Terrible? Terrible. So guy knows,

131
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: he remembers. He's sharp as hell, he was in good spirits.

132
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: He was laser focused on winning, and so prior to

133
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: the rally, I had recommended to the Trump campaign. I said,

134
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: listen to me talking to some of my friends who

135
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: were working in and around the on the Trump campaign,

136
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: I said, you've got to reach out to missus Fogel,

137
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: who is Mark Fogel's mother, who is a Western Pennsylvania

138
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: resident who is thrown in a Russian gulag and has

139
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: been there for three years, sentenced to fourteen years for

140
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: a prescribed medical marijuana for an actual I think he

141
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: has MS or something like that. He's he's been languishing

142
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: in a Russian gulag for three freaking years, and Biden

143
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: administration has completely effing ignored his family. I mean completely,

144
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: like Missus Fogel can't get in contact with anyone in

145
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, of the Biden State Department. It's a

146
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: travesty of epic, epic proportions. So I said, listen, you

147
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: have an opportunity here. Let's let's get missus Fogel to

148
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: this rally. She's like ninety five years old. The family

149
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: is absolutely desperate, and more than that, it's the right

150
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: damn thing to do. Leaders lead in moments that are tough.

151
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Leaders lead when shit hits the fan. That's when leaders

152
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: are needed most. And I said that President Trump's voice

153
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: has enormous power. And you know what that guy did.

154
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: You know what his campaign did. It took less than

155
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: two hours for them to invite Missus Fogel to that rally,

156
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: and she was there and met with President Trump, ninety

157
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: five years old, right after me. And you know what

158
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: President Trump said to Missus Fogel again for those who

159
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: are just joining as Missus Fogel ninety five years old

160
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: son languishing in a Russian gulag for three years, completely

161
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: effing ignored by the Biden administration. But hey, we'll get

162
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Britney Grinder home and we'll you know, trade, you know,

163
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: some of the worst arms dealers and terrorists on the

164
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: face of the planet with her because her politics aligned

165
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: with the Biden administration. But oh, just a teacher from Pennsylvania.

166
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: Leave him there at a rot. So Trump meets with

167
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Missus Fogel and says to her and says to her

168
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: straight up, I'm gonna get your son back. We're gonna

169
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: get your son home. And I had an opportunity to

170
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: meet with Missus Fogel behind the scenes prior to going

171
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: to meet with President Trump, and she was filled with hope.

172
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: And what I saw for the first time in a

173
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: very long time, she had tears in her eyes because

174
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: she's been ignored by her government and been ignored by

175
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. But Trump, his words have power. He's

176
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: the most famous guy in the world, but the most

177
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: electrifying political candidate of my lifetime. But he's a leader,

178
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: and all around the world when Trump speaks, people listen.

179
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: Whether they like him or not is completely effing irrelevant.

180
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: The media would be like, well, Trump's not liked around

181
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: the world. At the media, they suck. Trump is respected

182
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: around the world. Who gives a shit whether or not

183
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: he's liked, He's respected. And Trump looked that woman in

184
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: the eye and said, we're going to get your son back.

185
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: And I believe him. And then Melanie and I went

186
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: back to our seats and we were sitting if you

187
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: were looking at the screen, Commander Melanie and I were

188
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: sitting directly to the left of the president, probably twenty

189
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: ish feet away from the podium where he spoke, in

190
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: the first row, in the first row. But when I

191
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: say there was something in the air, that it was there.

192
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: It was Call me crazy all you want, but it

193
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: was tangible. This is what I mean when I was speaking.

194
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: This happened with the flag. Have a look at this picture.

195
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: You see that that's me on the stage, and that's

196
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the flag right there got twisted. It was hanging from

197
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: two pieces of construction equipment, but it got twisted. What

198
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: does that look like to you? I mean, it looks

199
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: I've heard people been having people send me this from

200
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: multiple different angles, you know, I've been at People say

201
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: it looks like an eagle. People say it looks like

202
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: an a people say it looks like Jesus on the cross.

203
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: When I was on that stage, I felt something something

204
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: to me that was similar when I felt and I

205
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: had this near death experience in Afghanistan that most of

206
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: you all, I've told you before, some of you. They

207
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: get knocked unconscious, fractured. My skug got blown up by

208
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: a rocket propel grenade and I was unconscious, and I

209
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: could have sworn I thought I was dead, But I

210
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: could have sworn I heard my grandfather's voice telling me

211
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: to get pushed me back into the fight, into the

212
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: land of the living. And I'm telling you, you call

213
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: me crazy all you want, but on that stage, I

214
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: felt the same damn thing. I felt the same damn thing.

215
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: And so when I say that there was something in

216
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: the air, I meant there was something in the air,

217
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: and I don't know what it was, but it was real.

218
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: It was real. And so we went back out and

219
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump comes out on the stage and the place

220
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: goes absolutely crazy. And Donald Trump immediately does what Donald

221
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: Trump does and says, you know, I'm gonna go off script.

222
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: I tell my team I hate these teleprompters. I don't

223
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: like them. They're borring. Do we have my immigration graphic?

224
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: You know? And I'm paraphrasing here, Oh, my favorite immigration graphic.

225
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: Let's throw it up there on the screen. And Trump

226
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: turns his head. I guess if you're looking, he's looking

227
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: at this. If he's facing out to the crowd, he

228
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: turns his head like this. You see that arrow. Immigration

229
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: was at its lowest point under my administration right there,

230
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: you know. And he turns back and he engages the

231
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: crowd and talks to the crowd, and then he turns

232
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: his head like this and cranes his head just like this,

233
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: and I'm watching the entire time from twenty feet away.

234
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: He points up there, and as he turns his head,

235
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: five shots ring out. Trump grabs his ear hits get

236
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: hits the floor in the prone. And by the way,

237
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: it was exactly the right thing to do in a

238
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: sniper situation. Hit the prone, take cover immediately. That's what

239
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Trump did, and the Secret Service was on him. Neately

240
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: knew that we were under sniper fire. I just remember

241
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: grabbing my wife and getting her down into the prone

242
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: as flat as flat as possible on the ground and

243
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: trying to encourage everybody to take cover. And people were

244
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: saying in the moment, oh, it's firecrackers. I'm like, it's

245
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: not firecrackers or the sniper. Everybody take cover, And that's

246
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: sort of when all hell broke loose. But before I

247
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: break all this down for you, I got a surprise

248
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: guest and I want to bring her on. It's my

249
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: amazing wife who was there with me, Commander Melanie Comany. Welcome. Hello, Hi,

250
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: your hair, you look great. So do you remember the

251
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: President gesturing? Wasn't it crazy to hear the shots go out?

252
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Shots go off? He hits the ground, Secret services on him?

253
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: What was that?

254
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: Like?

255
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: You were there? You witnessed these.

256
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: Before I heard anybody say anything. I heard the noise

257
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: and then I saw I remember the plume of smoke

258
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: that went up over his head on the on the

259
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: left hand side of the stage like him, and I

260
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: remember starting to think to myself, like, that's really weird

261
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: that somebody has a firecracker here. That was my first

262
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: thought too. But before I could even before I could

263
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: even finish the thought, you were you yelled out something

264
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: like that, it's a shooter, or you said something like that,

265
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: you said get down, get down, You pushed it down.

266
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: You were telling everybody around us to get down.

267
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: And what were you thinking. I have to tell you,

268
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: as your husband, I was. I have been in many, many,

269
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: many firefights, more firefights than I care to recount. I

270
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: have never been in a firefight with my wife. And

271
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: so now you and I have this in common. We've

272
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: both been shot at before. And I hate to laugh,

273
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: but it's like you either in these moments, you either

274
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: laugh or you cry, and crying is just not it's

275
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: just not an option.

276
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: But well, in your first fiction book you wrote, you

277
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: wrote about being in a firefight with your mother, So

278
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: now you've actually lived through being in a sort of

279
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: with your with your wife. I just I was you.

280
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: I just couldn't. It was the most surreal moment of

281
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 2: my life. I could not believe that that it was happening.

282
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 2: I didn't see. I knew that the president had been hit,

283
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: but I didn't see anything else. Of course, we were

284
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: you had everybody down on the ground, and we're keeping

285
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: trying to keep everybody safe, and so we didn't see

286
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: when President Trump got back up so everybody around us

287
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 2: is saying, you know, the president was hit, Is he okay?

288
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: Nobody knew anything.

289
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: It was.

290
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: It was absolutely terrifying. People said, you know, we saw

291
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: that he had had blood on his People were saying

292
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: he had blood on his face, blood on his head,

293
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: and other people were saying they got him out of there,

294
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: but we didn't know or I didn't know if he

295
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: was if they just took him out of there, and

296
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: if he was going to be okay. So it was

297
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: absolutely terrifying. It wasn't terrified for myself. I was just

298
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 2: terrified for for what may have happened to Trump and

299
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 2: what that would mean mean to our country. So we're

300
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: lying down there and you kept you were telling everybody

301
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 2: to stay down, but you kept popping your head up,

302
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: and I was getting I was scared for you. I

303
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: kept yelling at you to get down, get down.

304
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, is that what you said? Get down? Would you say?

305
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: Would you? Actually?

306
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: I said, I think I smacked you on your leg

307
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: and said, Sean, get your head. I think I screamed

308
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: that at you a couple of times, but you were

309
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: you weren't listening.

310
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: To me, So I just I just want to tell

311
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: you you know, first of all, just so everybody's out

312
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: there tracking, this woman was under fire, and she handles

313
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: herself like a complete pro first of all. But part

314
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: of the reason why I was poking my head up

315
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: because instantly I knew that there was a sniper fire

316
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: from the sound of the round cracking over my head.

317
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: It was round going supersonic, and then hearing the muzzle

318
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: blast after, I knew that the shooter had to be

319
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: very close. And so anytime that you're under sniper fire, like,

320
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: the first thing that a leader is supposed to do

321
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: is ascertain the position of the actual shooter. And in

322
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: the moment, in order for me to do that, I

323
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: had to be up on a knee. But I was

324
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: making sure that you were down there like in the prone.

325
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: But well, we thought there was more than one shooter.

326
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: I cannot emphasize that enough we were under we were.

327
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: I was operating under the assumption that was more than

328
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: one shooter. And the reason for that is because an

329
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: hydraulic line to the on the construction field vehicle to

330
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: the right of President Trump, which was on the opposite

331
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: side of the stage seven, and so I thought that

332
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: there were a shooter coming from the opposite direction as well.

333
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: And so the way that this went down, five or

334
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: six shots President hit hit grazed in the ear Secret

335
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: Service on them, thump thump from the counter sniper team,

336
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: which is how I'm processing this, which is a heavier

337
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: caliber round sent down range at the actual shooter. And

338
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: then at the exact same moment that those those those

339
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: rounds fired, uh the sniper, the shooter shot a couple

340
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: of more and I believe that's when the rounds impacted

341
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: tragically to the people who were sitting right behind us.

342
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: But as I was looking, Melanie, as I'm looking around

343
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: for the shooter, do you remember what I said to

344
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: you in that moment? Do you remember what I said

345
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: to every everybody else? I said, shooters in one or

346
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: two locations that building or that water tower, right, And

347
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: I want to give people like that, there is a

348
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: really good there's a really good graphic on this. Let

349
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: me see if I can see, if I can show

350
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: you this, let me see, let me see, let me see.

351
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Still not an expert at all this, but.

352
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: What was going through my head is this, this might

353
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: just be the beginning. There may be somebody else there,

354
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: something more might happen.

355
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: And.

356
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right. So I don't know if you

357
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: all can see that, but if you look at the

358
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: blue line, that red box on the left is where

359
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: the shooter was. That's the building. You can see the

360
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: water tower there, and you can see the direct that

361
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: that building has a direct line of sight to where

362
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: Trump is sitting, and where the arrowhead is is right

363
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: where Melanie and I were. So when I say that

364
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: we heard the rounds crack right over her heads, I

365
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: am not bullsitting you. That's exactly what happened the bleachers

366
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: where people got hit. If you can see my cursor

367
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: is right behind the sniper with the with the yellow line,

368
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: the friendly sniper was on this building, clear line of

369
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: sight to the shooter. So when I say I was

370
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: down looking for a location to the shooter, I immediately

371
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: saw that building and I immediately saw the water tower.

372
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: And so if I thought that in the moment, there's

373
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: no way that the Secret Service did not know about that.

374
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: They had to have known about that. And so well,

375
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: we met rallies.

376
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: You know, this was the fifth one that we went to.

377
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: And we've been at rallies before, and you know, we've

378
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: brought our kids before. They were going to come with us.

379
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: This time it was too hot. I'm glad we kept

380
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: them home. But we always thought, hey, there's no safer

381
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: place to be than a Trump rally. You know, they're

382
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: all the Secret Service around, you have all these if

383
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: you remember the one we did in Moon, there were

384
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: lots of buildings, higher buildings around us, but you look

385
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: up behind you and on every one of the rooftops

386
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: there's a sniper there, you know, Secret Service or whatever.

387
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: So it was just shocking that that wouldn't have been

388
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: the same situation here at this rally.

389
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: So do you remember when the people were shot and

390
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: I was trying to get an assessment of how badly

391
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: they were hit, and they were moving the casualties.

392
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: We didn't realize that at first we knew the president

393
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: had been hit, but it felt like it took a

394
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: couple of minutes before we heard people saying, we have

395
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: people hit, we have people hit hit. And you stood

396
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: up and started trying to get the police over there

397
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: and tell them yeah, calling for.

398
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: A medic yeah. And at that point give you all

399
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: a sense of what were in my mind was the

400
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: Secret Service had their mission and that was to get

401
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: the president. The police had their mission. They were going

402
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: after the shooter, and they were helping with initial casualties,

403
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: but there were thirty thousand people there more. When you

404
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: first get shot at, everybody goes through the same thing eventually,

405
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: and it's this process in some way, shape or form.

406
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: Holy shit, somebody's trying to kill me that I don't

407
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: even know. And when you wrap your mind around the

408
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: existential realities of that, it's like, kill me like everything

409
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: that I was, everything that I am now, and everything

410
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: that I will be. And in my mind, you know,

411
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there are people in the crowd that

412
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: had been shot at, but my thought was the vast

413
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: majority had probably had not, and all were processing it

414
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: at that exact moment. And as I'm talking about this

415
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: or processing this, because I'm trying to figure out how

416
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: we can get people to move and move out of there.

417
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: And the reason why I'm trying to ascertain the position

418
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: of the sniper is because you make a determination can

419
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: you move people right? Is it possible? And if you can,

420
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: how do you x fill them? How do you get

421
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: them out? And with best using cover and concealment. That's

422
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: why I had to find the location of the shooter

423
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: because I knew that we had thirty thousand people that

424
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: has just been through a shitload, and at that exact

425
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: moment I'm processing that Trump, he kind of stands up.

426
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: We couldn't real see him because he was covered with

427
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: Secret Service, but I just see his fist and the

428
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: crowd go absolute lutely insane, and I knew that at

429
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: that point he had to be okay. I knew that

430
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: at that point the shooter was likely down as well,

431
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: because police were saying the shooter was down. And at

432
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: that point it just became time to move people.

433
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: You know, I do remember them saying shooter down. I

434
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: do you remember hearing that?

435
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so we started moving people. But as we

436
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: started moving people there, it was ninety five degrees. People

437
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: were sitting outside, there were heat casualties, like people were

438
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: falling out left and right, and so I was evacting people,

439
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: trying to push the crowd along with you know, a

440
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: couple other patriots, JD. Longo and Rico Elmore who JD.

441
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: Longo Marine Corvette, Rico Elmore Air Force. So here we're

442
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: all working together in crowd control and trying to move

443
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: people to the exits safely. And people start falling out

444
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: from heat causies. You remember that, Yes, I mean it

445
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: was a.

446
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: Really hot day. It was ninety five degrees there. The

447
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: sun was beating down. People had been there for hours.

448
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: There were a lot of people, you know, a lot

449
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: of older people, a lot of people you know, like

450
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: you said, in wheelchairs and things. So it was already

451
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: and then the stress of what they had just seen

452
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 2: and been through.

453
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: So it was just a disaster, it really was. I mean,

454
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: and and like people were, people were I mean, I

455
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: don't want to say a thousand yard stare like it's

456
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: a negative thing, but I'm telling you, I've seen grown

457
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: men who were trained get shot at react like that

458
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: in combat. It just is a jarring thing, a traumatic thing,

459
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: especially when you're seeing somebody, I mean Corey, the man

460
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: who lost his life, who I met briefly when I

461
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: was running for Congress. I mean, somebody takes a shot

462
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: to the head. It's not it's not good. And a

463
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: lot of people around us witnessed that and saw that,

464
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: and I think we're really struggling to comprehend the moment,

465
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: and so started moving people out, and I just remember, Melanie,

466
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,239
Speaker 1: I don't remember a whole lot about this, but I

467
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: just remember picking people up and I just started carrying

468
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: him to the Metavact station.

469
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, you you were. And there's like a news

470
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 2: clip of it too, that that we have you carrying

471
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 2: you JD and a bunch of other folks carrying just

472
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: carrying people there. I was trying to run after you

473
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: and keep up with you. You said, stay out here,

474
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: go take cover somewhere. So I went and fraud under

475
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: a tractor trailer with another couple of people, because again

476
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: we didn't know, we didn't know if that was the

477
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: only shooter. We knew there was a shooter down, but

478
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: we didn't know if there was someone else there who

479
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: wanted to do us harm.

480
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: So so tell everybody where I told you to take cover.

481
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: How to take cover. This is very important.

482
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: Tire of a tractor trailer.

483
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you have the opportunity and you're ever in

484
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: a situation like the best place like behind it, behind

485
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: a tire, right, use the tire and actual body of

486
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: the car itself. That's the best place to take cover.

487
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: If you ever find yourself in a situation like this,

488
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: but trying to get the heat casualty's taken care of

489
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: and move the move the crowd out, and then it

490
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: was just like there were wheelchairs people who were left behind,

491
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: not like left behind intentionally, but elderly people being pushed

492
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: in wheelchairs being pushed by elderly people. Thirty thousand people

493
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: trying to leave the same exit. Kind of hard to

494
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: push a wheelchair over gravel, over grass, especially if you're

495
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: elderly in the ninety seventy degree heat. They were just

496
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: left there and they were just sitting targets.

497
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: You were pushing them around you in your suit. Yeah,

498
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: stored while you were doing that. So now you have

499
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 2: an excuse to never put a suit on again, because it's.

500
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I have one suit and it was one suit

501
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: and it was ruined. But you got the wheelchair folks

502
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: covering concealment. I remember pushing one down, got him to

503
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: his car, got you secured in our car, and then

504
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: I went back in to get the rest of the

505
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: wheelchair people out. And we didn't get out of the

506
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: rally folks. I mean, we weren't done evacuating people until

507
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: I think eight thirty, right, Melanie, about eight thirty.

508
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: Probably close to that. We didn't get home until about

509
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: nine thirty, and we came home to the biggest hugs

510
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 2: of our life from the kids.

511
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: It was crazy. It was crazy, and I mean I

512
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: was done evacuating people. Yeah about about no. Eight thirty.

513
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: We got home a lot later than nine thirty, a

514
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: lot later, right, because because we sat there and the

515
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: it was just jam packed. They had the whole place

516
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: on lockdown, and they had some sort of electron what

517
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: they call ECM, electronic countermeasure. So all of my family,

518
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I had one hundred text messages, and you know,

519
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: we got Savage rich Baris on deck, but he's texting me.

520
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: All my family members texted me. I couldn't respond because

521
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: they had an electronic countermeasure, again operating under the assumption

522
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: that there were two people that were shooting. This was

523
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: a planned attack. Well, a cell phone can send a

524
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: text message to detonate NID. If you've got everybody in

525
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: cars driving in the same direction, using the same exit point,

526
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: it's called a choke point. God forbid, they have something

527
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: planted there, so they I think they had some sort

528
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: of electronic countermeasure to stop someone blowing and improvised explosive device.

529
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: So we were I was trying desperate to text the

530
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: kids because I was afraid that I didn't want them

531
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: to see something on the news first and be worried

532
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: about us and text the kids, text my my mom,

533
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: text my dad, like get these people on the you know,

534
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: and you just couldn't. And I was so I just

535
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: did not want the kids to be sitting at home

536
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: thinking something bad had happened to us. I was trying

537
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: to let them know that we were saving. You just

538
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: couldn't get a signal out.

539
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Okay, bring Savage rich On. Welcome to oh Savage and

540
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: Commander Melanie Rich. I want to get your perspective because

541
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: you know you and I talked today on the show.

542
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: And also, by the way, Savage Rich meet Commander Melanie.

543
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: Commander Melanie meets Savage Rich. Nice to meet you.

544
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: He's commander.

545
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: Commander so.

546
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: And all series and it's glad you're okay, thank you,

547
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: thank you.

548
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the media. Well first let's talk.

549
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about rich Trump's reaction

550
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: because I didn't see it like you saw it on

551
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: the television. Yeah to me, just give you all my

552
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: perspective him rising up, blood on his face, raising his

553
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: fist and saying fight. And you could hear him on

554
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: the audio arguing with secret Service, let me up, let

555
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: me up. Yeah, yeah, wait wait wait, let me up.

556
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: And he's saying fight, fight, fight. That is exactly the

557
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: image Americans, Americans needed from a president and a leader

558
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: right now with America just being leader lists rich. What

559
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: do you think.

560
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: Teddy Roosevelt took a bullet in his bible. I believe

561
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 3: it is stopped most of the bullet from going in. Nonetheless,

562
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: he was hurt, and he finished his speech and wanted

563
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 3: the American public to know what he was saying and

564
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: that he doesn't go down that easily. Andrew Jackson when

565
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: an assassin tried to shoot him as an old man,

566
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 3: beat the hell out of him with his cane. Donald

567
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: Trump is like a throwback to those guys, you know where.

568
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: He was going to let the world. He was gonna

569
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: let people who incited against him because, let's face it,

570
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: we all know he hears about the threats all the time.

571
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: He hears about the danger all the time. He was

572
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: gonna let them know. But most importantly, Sean, he was

573
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: gonna let his his supporters know. You know, you know

574
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: that that that I'm here, I'm not shook. I'm gonna

575
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: keep fighting and you need to keep fighting too, don't

576
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: let them win. And it takes a big man to do. Look,

577
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: I don't care what these haters think about Donald Trump.

578
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: You won't see Barack Obama do that, all right? That

579
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: little man would hide and duck under that podium in

580
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: a second. Let's face it, all right. Uh, and there's

581
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: just Mitt Romney.

582
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: He'd be position. Wait would big Mike be coward? How

583
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: would big Mike react?

584
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: Bro?

585
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: Come on, don of me without talking about Big Mike.

586
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 3: Knows though, what that seriously feels like to know that

587
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: someone is trying to kill you. You don't even know

588
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: where they're coming from. You operate under the assumption there

589
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: was two shooters. He obviously must have thought the worst

590
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 3: that there were two shooters. And I mean, that's like

591
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 3: you don't know where it's coming from, You don't know

592
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: how many there are. You just know there are bullets

593
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: coming at you. That's all your brain can process in

594
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: that moment.

595
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: And he still did that.

596
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: I just don't know anyone, any leader of any party

597
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: running for president, wanting to run for president, whatever it

598
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: may be, who you could expect that out of. And again,

599
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: like you've been trained, but you know that you can't

600
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: train for something like that. A reaction to being under

601
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: fire the way that Donald Trump gave is like bread

602
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: into your bones. It's bred into your DNA. I mean,

603
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: I've seen men who've been through the best training in

604
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: the world break the minute they hear what you just

605
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: talked about before I was listening. You know, folks, when,

606
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: especially when it's that close, you kind of like feel

607
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 3: it and you hear the whiz before you hear the

608
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: sound or the crack of the firing on the web.

609
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: That's how close it is. The bullet's traveling so fast

610
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 3: your body's aware of it before you hear the sound

611
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: and you realize it's a gunshot coming at you. I mean,

612
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: Sean Ben, I've seen guys who have been through the ringer.

613
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: You know, there's nothing else you can do to prepare them.

614
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 3: When they get in that position, just break. And it

615
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: takes a certain kind of man to behave like that

616
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: under that kind of pressure. And it goes to show,

617
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: you know I was saying on the show before you

618
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: came on today, It's like, you know, that's why when

619
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 3: all the lobby, the Farm Policy Blob, every other president

620
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: met resistance for something like this, imagine like moving the

621
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and all of this

622
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: pressure comes down to bear and George Bush breaks, Barack

623
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 3: Obama breaks. They all promised it. Donald Trump is like,

624
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 3: kiss it, man, I promised the photo. You know, he

625
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: can take that kind of pressure and he can have

626
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: that kind of courage and stand up to that. And

627
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: now we all know why, because he's got that kind

628
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: of gut or like visceral courage I don't mean stinctual

629
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: courage that you really can't train someone to have. They

630
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: either have that or they don't. And he's got it, man,

631
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: And the whole world just saw it, the whole country,

632
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: the whole world.

633
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: Just so.

634
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: I got a call for my friend in Scotland. He

635
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 3: was like, wow, man, I hate that guy. He's the boss,

636
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: you know. I mean that is a boss move. That

637
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: is the best picture out of America ever. Like he's

638
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: just like, ah, you know, yeah, it was inspirational reasonal

639
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: and they're all leftists over there, he thought it was.

640
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard not to. I mean you had chenk

641
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Unger from the Young the Young Turds Young Kirks saying

642
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: saying like this guy is hard core liberal. I mean

643
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: like hardcore liberal. He's like, Okay, that was badass. You

644
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: got me. And if that guy is saying that what

645
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: Trump did was inspirational and badass, what do you think

646
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna do for independent voters. Let me take a

647
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,920

Speaker 1: beneath the video, because we are on our way to

666
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: the leader board on Rumble. I think again. I think

00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: We got your savagery, rich and then of course Melanie's

672
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: looks and opinions a one two punch of awesome. But

673
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: so Melanie, what what was it like for you to

674
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: to make it out of there and see see the kids? Right?

675
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: And then another question of to see the the imagery

676
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump seeing When did you see the imagery?

677
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: Because you were I mean you, you and I were separating.

678
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: Probably when I was in the car. I mean I wasn't,

679
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: like I said, everybody was down. We're in our section

680
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: because the bullets came from from behind us, so our

681
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: section was was taking cover. We didn't get to see

682
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: him stand up. I think you did because you kept

683
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: popping your head up and looking around. But everybody who

684
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: was huddled down on your knee just kept saying is okay?

685
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: Is okay? Do we just kept saying I don't know,

686
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: and that he had blood on his face so and

687
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: blood on his head. So it just because they got

688
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 2: him out of there didn't mean he wasn't already critically injured.

689
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 2: So it was it was that was just absolutely terrifying.

690
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 2: That was absolutely terrifying. And I remember when I did

691
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 2: pop up, all I saw was his lone black shoe

692
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: on the stage, when I.

693
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, take us back from that, because you heard

694
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: what he said that start from the very beginning there

695
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: say something.

696
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: About well when he was on, I heard him say

697
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: something about I need my shoes. I need I heard

698
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: him saying that, I think. And then when I just

699
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 2: and then when we were I looked over to the

700
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: left when we were you were trying to get us,

701
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: direct us out, and just saw that shoe there, and

702
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh my god, you know his shoe. You know,

703
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: he got knocked right out of his shoe by the

704
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: by the Secret Service. And again I still didn't know

705
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: if he was okay. I didn't see that picture on

706
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 2: social media until I got a cell phone signal when

707
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 2: I was back at the car, and it probably took

708
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: us what almost an hour to get out to the car,

709
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: forty five minutes, and our time was it was weird.

710
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: Time was weird then, So it took a while to

711
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 2: see that. And then I, you know, of course, I

712
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: was relieved by then. I was able to get in

713
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: touch with the you know, with the kids and let

714
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: everybody know. And thankfully I was able to get everybody

715
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 2: on the phone, like my like my dad, my aunt,

716
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: the kids and let them know what had happened before

717
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 2: they actually saw it on the news.

718
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: So when I went back in, you coordinated to the

719
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: extent that you could communicating with our family, and for that,

720
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful. But it was wild to see that

721
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: one loan shoe from Trump on the stage like that,

722
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: wasn't it. I mean, that's crazy.

723
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: It was sort of just gave you a chill when

724
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: you saw that.

725
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: What did you What did you think of when you

726
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: looked at the image of Trump like this, Melanie, What

727
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: what was going because you saw it before me? What's

728
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: going through your mind when you see that?

729
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: I was just so proud, you know, I couldn't I

730
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: already loved Trump, and I just couldn't love him more

731
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 2: when I saw that. It was just it was just amazing,

732
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: and of course it just the feeling of of like

733
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: relief and it just made me proud that he was

734
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: he was our president.

735
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: So okay, so let's let's go to Rich for this one. Rich.

736
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: Something that really pisses me off, and Melanie, I want

737
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: at your perspective on this after. But something that is

738
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: that pisses me off is the media's role in this.

739
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: Like I refuse and if refused to both sides this issue.

740
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: And here's why, Like, I am so sick and tired

741
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: that every single time some leftist jackass attacks a conservative

742
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: or god forbid, kills a conservative, almost everybody in the

743
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: media is like, uh, you know, we got to unite.

744
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: This is a moment for quiet reflection. What kind of

745
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: country do we you know? No, this is not this

746
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: is a time to pick a side, because when a

747
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: conservative does it okay, and the rare rare, rare, rare

748
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: rare chance it almost never does a conservative commit political

749
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: violence against the leftists. But on the rare chance that

750
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: it does happen, you have left this in government, mobilizing

751
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security to label everybody domestic extremists,

752
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: to put people on no fly list. There's a national

753
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: movement to eradicate right wing extremism, you know, and of course,

754
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: like any form of terrorism is evil and wrong, but

755
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: the left owns political violence in this country. And I'm

756
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: the media constantly, and I'll tell you it's not just

757
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: about Oh Biden says thing on the campaign trill. Yeah,

758
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: he says some crazy shit on the campaign trail. Is

759
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: speech in Philadelphia in front of red calling half the

760
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: country maga extremists and domestic terrorists. Yeah, the guy's crazy. Okay,

761
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: the guy's absolutely nuts. But beyond that, the wholesale movement

762
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: on behalf of the media to labeled Trump a Russian agent,

763
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: a trader to the country, all these two impeachments, calling

764
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: people Nazis, Trump's a dictator, Trump's hitler. Every other day

765
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: on Morning Joe, those ass clowns are out there saying, oh,

766
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy years of the American experiment will

767
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: end if Donald Trump is elected. I'm tired of this bullshit.

768
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: And in the day, the day after the goddamn assassination.

769
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: Excuse my languages, my grandfather would do the side of

770
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: the cross every time he said that. But at the

771
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: like the New York Times late labels Trump the trader,

772
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: but day after the attempt.

773
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: Come on, Sean, I'm looking at the quote right now,

774
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 3: Lester Holt to Joe Biden. Have you done any soul

775
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: searching to reflect on whether anything you said may have

776
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 3: incited violence? Go yourself, Lester, Your whole news network is

777
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 3: like pushing everything that Sean just rattled off plus more. Meanwhile,

778
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: when a guy, if we've already forgotten about this, when

779
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 3: a guy runs around a state putting fake bombs, they

780
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 3: weren't even real they were fake bombs. They called them

781
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 3: the magabomber and wanted to like round up Trump supporters. Right,

782
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 3: They're like the Palestinians every time they start a fight

783
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: and then they realize they're going to lose. And that's

784
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: what's going on here. They realize they're going to lose

785
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 3: this election, and now all of a sudden they want

786
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 3: peace and they want a truce. No, you, like, you

787
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 3: don't get to start conflict and then sound the peace horn.

788
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 3: You know, like you have to pay the consequences for it.

789
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 3: The media is a negative I can't imagine a more

790
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 3: negative force on our society. Like, I'm not sure any

791
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: institution any industry, any person, does more damage in this

792
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 3: society than our media. They lie about everything, Hands up,

793
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 3: don't shoot. Start racial wars. Tajuana Brawley was raped by

794
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 3: a duke Lacrosse, remember that. I mean, these people are

795
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 3: pathological liars. They do it for political gain, their own

796
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 3: to advance their own agenda, which is usually the agenda

797
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: of the state, obviously because there's state run media, and

798
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: they they never get held accountable for it, so we

799
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 3: let them go. They start a complete dangerous fiction that

800
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is a trader who cocluded with Vladimir Putin.

801
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: So a guy who believes this decides he's gonna go

802
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: kill the House Majority leader or the House Majority whip.

803
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 3: Excuse me. Nobody does anything about it, by the way,

804
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 3: including Sam Scale. Nothing right. I mean, if I was

805
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 3: Steve Scalice, I would want somebody's ass, you know. I mean,

806
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: this is humble, and it just goes on and on.

807
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 3: Ram Paul's attack on his front lawn by his crazy

808
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 3: left wing neighbor who believes everything he reads in the

809
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,959
Speaker 3: New York Times and listens to on MSNBC. I don't

810
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 3: understand how Alex Jones could get sued into an oblivion

811
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 3: over Sandy Hook. But these people can continue to carry

812
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: on and continue.

813
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: To do what they do.

814
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 3: They're inflicting real pain on people. They are inciting people

815
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: to shoot the presidential candidate of a major political party, who,

816
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 3: by the way, they're trying to put in prison for

817
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 3: the rest of his life. So, I mean, it's just

818
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: two sides of the same coin here, Sean. These are

819
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 3: just bad people and they only want to unify. They're

820
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 3: full of shit. They want to unify, so they don't

821
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 3: so they can skirt any accountability whatsoever. They have no

822
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 3: desire to unify. They wanted to settle down so they

823
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: can put everybody in cages. Again. That's their I mean,

824
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 3: this is where they're going with this. Steve Bannon's rotten

825
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 3: in a jail cell right now for being St've Bannon.

826
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 3: Peter Navarro is also, by the way, rotting in the

827
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: jail cell because of trade, you know, renegotiating trade deals

828
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 3: with China. These people are political terrorists, that's what they are.

829
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 3: And they don't play by the rules of the American

830
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: experiment anymore. They don't even believe in it anymore. And

831
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 3: let's face it, they know exactly what they're doing and

832
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 3: when cosame thing with mass shootings. They've been told by

833
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: law enforcement, Fed's academia, you're a contagion. We used to

834
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: call it the Columbine effect. Now we call it a contagion.

835
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 3: They inspire copycats, and they inspire mass shooting events, and

836
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 3: they don't give a damn. They don't care. They've been

837
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 3: told by everybody. They don't care because they want the

838
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 3: Second Amendment gone. They don't care who they inspire to

839
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 3: take a shot at Donald Trump. They want him gone.

840
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 3: It's that simple. They thought, well, we'll beat him in

841
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: an election. Doesn't look like we can do that. Maybe

842
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 3: we'll put him in prison. Doesn't look like we can

843
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 3: do that. What's left here? That's why you and I

844
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 3: for months have been talking. You know, I hate to

845
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 3: say it. It's just gonna be sad, but I expect

846
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 3: somebody to take a shot at this man. I mean,

847
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 3: how long have we been saying this? You know?

848
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: And they create months rich and they and they and

849
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: they attack us. They they lift our segments, They clipped

850
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: our segments, they called us crazy.

851
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 3: Guess what we were fing right, Yeah, they clipped our segments.

852
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 3: Look at the crazy right wingers, Look at the conspiracy theorists.

853
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 3: They create opporum motive first, they create the desire, you know.

854
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 3: They find the exploit, the vulnerable and the uh you know,

855
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 3: the the vulnerable and I don't want to say weak,

856
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 3: but certainly vulnerable and impressionable. They find them in society.

857
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 3: These are people who are like hurting for something to

858
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 3: be a part of. You know, let's face it. They

859
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 3: don't have God in their lives, most of them. They're

860
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 3: like same reason people join gangs, same reason people join

861
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 3: Antifa and want to be a part of Antifa. They

862
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 3: have no meaning and they are told that this man

863
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 3: is a menace, he's a danger. You know what, I

864
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 3: could be a hero here. I could do something good.

865
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 3: I can I can make my mark on history. I

866
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 3: can change the tide of history. And they do this

867
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 3: and they think in their minds because the media told

868
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 3: them they're the here row here, Sean, they're the hero here.

869
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 3: It's un it's just unbelievable, brother, it's unbelievable. And they

870
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 3: until they're punished for this. You cannot hide behind the

871
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 3: banner of journalism and do this. They're not even journalists.

872
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: And by the way, the freedom of the press didn't

873
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 3: mean that anyway they had. That's not what it really meant.

874
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 3: You didn't give you a right to just smear people

875
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: whenever you want and destroy people whenever you want. Because

876
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 3: you're a journalist. You're not a guardian of the halls

877
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 3: of power. You're not a truth teller. You're full of shit.

878
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 3: You're a hack and the whole you. You work for

879
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 3: a building filled with hacks, and that's all you do.

880
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 3: You're a political vehicle to serve a party that serves

881
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 3: the state. And until they're held accountable for that, this

882
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 3: is going to continue. And they'll back off on one

883
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 3: unity only because they're in a bad spot, and then

884
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 3: they'll pick it right back up again seventy two hours, pot,

885
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 3: give it's seventy two hours, and they'll be right back

886
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 3: at it.

887
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: You watch, mel right, you're coming at you with a

888
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: similar question. You've actually been on the receiving end with me,

889
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: on the campaign trail of the media's lies. We were

890
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: actually on the cover of People magazine together, not in

891
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: the way that I think we wanted to be. But look,

892
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: what do you what do you make? What do you

893
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: make of the media's role in all of this?

894
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you something that happened when I was

895
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 2: walking out with some of the people. You were pushing

896
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 2: the wheelchair, you were helping, helping people. And I had

897
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 2: this conversation with a lady walking with me and I said,

898
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 2: you watch, I said, the media is going to somehow

899
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 2: turn this around and blame us, And she kind of

900
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 2: laughed and she said, how would they do that. I said,

901
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 2: they're totally going to blame Trump supporters. And you see

902
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 2: it like we saw it first in the next morning,

903
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 2: you know, pretty much saying like victim, blame me, like

904
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: Trump brought this on himself, you know, like so. And

905
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 2: I also said to the lady, I don't I wouldn't

906
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: be surprised that they tried to say this as a hoax.

907
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 2: And by the time I got my daughter on the

908
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: phone and she pulled up her she pulled up Twitter.

909
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: She said, that's what's trending, like that this was just

910
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: stage that was staged. So whenever you try to think

911
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 2: what the press is going to do is probably.

912
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 1: Gonna be ten times worse, it's true. I mean, I

913
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: think that they are vile, disgusting people that that that

914
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: have been on the front end of the destruction of

915
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: this country for far too long. When the last time

916
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: I've ever seen the media even be half honest, are

917
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: those videos of them making fun of Joe Biden saying

918
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was not not number one in class? It

919
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: was actually a huge dumb ass. I mean, of course

920
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing there, but like you.

921
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: Were born when.

922
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: Yes, that's probably true. Actually you might be right. When

923
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: was it? Do we know?

924
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 2: Was it like I was born? I don't think you were?

925
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: All right? So i got a couple of minutes left,

926
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: and I've got I've got a Newsmax. I've got a

927
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: Newsmax segment that I've got to go right from this

928
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: show to Newsmax. But I got to talk about the

929
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: lapses insecurity because the moment that Melanie I was on

930
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: the ground, what did I say, water tower or building?

931
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: And I said, there's no effing way there's someone on

932
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 1: the water tower or building, because why the Secret Service

933
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: has got to have those.

934
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 2: Rally we've been at there's been somebody up on the buildings,

935
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: on the rooftop surrounding us.

936
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: At the end of the time, how does that, I mean,

937
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: how does that, Melanie, you were there, how does that

938
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: make you feel like that that they didn't have that

939
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: on lockdown.

940
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just astounding. I still can't you know,

941
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: I still can't believe any of this even happened. But

942
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 2: to think that we were just there, like just sitting ducks,

943
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 2: I mean, they like the building was right there behind us.

944
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: Nobody was covering.

945
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: That, nobody, nobody was paying attention except.

946
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: For people a few seconds the three thousand plus watching.

947
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: Go over to our locals page. Look at the picture

948
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: that Commander Melanie posted there. If you see the outline

949
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: of the building right behind us, right there, direct line

950
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: of sight to the President and by the way, one

951
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 1: hundred less than one hundred and fifty meters away, it's

952
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: not you don't even need to be a damn sniper.

953
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks of rifle, basic rifle, marchmanship, and

954
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 1: basic training.

955
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 3: Line up the irons, Sean, you line up the irons,

956
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 3: it's not hard. That rifle is meant for that distance.

957
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: That is the sweet spot for that rifle. For people

958
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 3: who don't understand which dectory is. You know, if you're

959
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 3: if you're uh, you know, going three hundred meters out,

960
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 3: you better aim higher. If you're coming in close, you

961
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 3: might need to aim a little lower because the bullet

962
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 3: goes up first, actually travel travels on an arc up first.

963
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 3: But man, that building just happened to be right in

964
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 3: the sweet spot of that weapon. And I got to

965
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 3: tell you, it is so inconceivable to me that they

966
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 3: did not clear or and even have a presence on

967
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 3: that rooftop. It's just suspect to me, Sean, I'm sorry.

968
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 3: The cynic in me tells me there's no way this

969
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 3: could have been an accident of some sort. Somebody gave

970
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 3: a non.

971
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: Case, and open members remembers, really members of Congress are

972
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: saying the same thing. There's no way, incomprehensible, it's inconceived.

973
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: They take ladders down off of fire escapes, on buildings,

974
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: they weld man hold covers down. When the President comes

975
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: through with this, this is nuts. This is not possible.

976
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: Where were the drones? And how did this guy twenty seven.

977
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 3: Year old nobody because I've done a whole dive on

978
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 3: him in the database. How did this guy know nobody

979
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 3: would be on this building? Nobody would be covering this building?

980
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: I heard you, did you know this? It just it

981
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: just broke today. It just broke right now that law

982
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: enforcement was aware of this guy and was tracking him

983
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: at at the rally at the rally, So my question

984
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: is I knew about this guy. This is let Trump

985
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: on stage? How do you let Trump on stage knowing

986
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: that the threat is still out there? It's it's I can't,

987
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe.

988
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 3: Again, the FBI knew about the shotgun shooter from Malcolm X.

989
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 3: The truth is they wanted him to kill Malcolm X.

990
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 3: That's the damn truth. I'm sorry. And then they put

991
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 3: two innocent bastards in jail for more than two decades.

992
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 3: And when they knew they weren't guilty, they weren't the

993
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 3: shit the main shooter who uh? And actually one of

994
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 3: them really had nothing to do with anything at all.

995
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 3: Uh And they rotted in jail for two decades. Over

996
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 3: two decades, Sean, these are who these people are. I'm

997
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 3: like tired of giving them the benefit of the doubt.

998
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 3: There's no way in my mind that that building was

999
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 3: not cleared. There's no way they didn't have eyes on

1000
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 3: it at all. Not the Cat's team, not the drones, nothing, nothing.

1001
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 3: You got to be kidding me. And I heard Commander

1002
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 3: Melanie say before we're gonna bring the kids. But it

1003
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 3: was too hot. Thank god we didn't. I brought my

1004
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 3: children into a Trump rally. Yeah, I had to work,

1005
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 3: and I said I'll take them, Laura. I brought my

1006
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 3: children into a Trump rally.

1007
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: We brought them to everyone else. We brought them to

1008
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: every rally, but this.

1009
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 3: And you never think, you never think that that that

1010
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 3: something like this really not in that kind of a forum,

1011
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 3: because of course they've swept the place, they've gone through it.

1012
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,919
Speaker 3: There's an advanced team for people who don't know. There's

1013
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 3: a team that goes in advance to check the location

1014
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 3: and make sure all of these that building is most

1015
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 3: definitely on that damn map or I don't know if

1016
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 3: somebody left that off. Are we gonna find out by

1017
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 3: the way that that building's not on the specs? You know,

1018
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it's what poof not there? I mean,

1019
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna learn some really horrible stuff here, man,

1020
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 3: I really do, because I just don't see any potential way.

1021
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 3: National Arbor, Maryland. I go to see the President in

1022
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 3: National Arbor, Maryland, and again.

1023
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: This is work.

1024
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 3: You better be there at a certain time. The place

1025
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 3: is locked down. Secret services there far in advance by

1026
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 3: the way. They know the route because he's done it before,

1027
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 3: and yet they're still taking those kinds of precautions. You

1028
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 3: can't get in the building. You're late, you're ten minutes late,

1029
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 3: ten minutes past eight tough, you're not getting in. It's

1030
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 3: totally locked down. There's no there's no way you're gonna

1031
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 3: be able to, you know, come through a window at

1032
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 3: him on a building to to you know, two buildings over,

1033
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 3: because they're there, so you know this is inc it's not.

1034
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 3: There's no way I can conceive. And I know we

1035
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 3: talked about incompetence and maybe they're just not the best

1036
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 3: of the best, but I thought about that after this shit.

1037
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 3: Oh Sean, they still have SOP. Everyone's got a protocol,

1038
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 3: you know. And I mean, even if they're morons and

1039
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 3: they're incompetent and they're not recruiting the best people in

1040
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 3: the world anymore, they still came after a bunch of

1041
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 3: people who were really good, and those people taught them

1042
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 3: all about how to protect their their charges. So there's

1043
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 3: just no way, you know. I mean maybe if it

1044
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 3: was something more complicated, but it's not. It's holding one

1045
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty meters over the only building with a

1046
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 3: clear line.

1047
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 2: The most obvious place, right.

1048
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: The most obvious place.

1049
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 3: It's like, if that's what I'm saying, like this kid

1050
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 3: decided he's gonna do the most obvious thing, and that's

1051
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 3: the best place to go and take a full prone position.

1052
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 3: You know, you got scooting over againting himself all comfortable.

1053
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 3: In the video you can see it. Come on, man,

1054
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 3: come on, I actually think, you know, reviewing that footage more.

1055
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 3: I mean, at least it looked to me that the

1056
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 3: Sheriff's department or whoever there was a local police were

1057
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 3: like dumbfounded, you know when those people told him he

1058
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 3: was on the building. I don't know what took so long.

1059
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 3: We played the countdown today on the show. Look how

1060
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,479
Speaker 3: long so for them to react? What are you doing?

1061
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 3: Which your you know, what are you doing? In two

1062
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 3: minutes is way too long and it was over two minutes.

1063
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: By the way, it feels, it feels like it's just hard.

1064
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: It just feels like it was deliberate. It feels like

1065
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: it was deliberate. So okay, I gotta leave it there,

1066
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: happy savage Rich tell tell the thousands of us where

1067

Speaker 1: let me tell you, uh, let me, oh well, let

1079
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: the people of this country would make it exceptional. The

1080

Speaker 1: people of that and that rally what make it exceptional, folks.

1081
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 1: Let me tell you lastly about the the rally. When

1082
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: those shots rang out, we knew there was a sniper.

1083
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: People's lives were at risk, but the crowd did not stampede,

1084
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: they didn't run, they didn't hurt anyone. They comported themselves

1085
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: under fire like true patriots, the patriots that they were,

1086
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: the real story, of course, there's lots of stories out

1087
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: of the Trump rally, but the story of how the

1088
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 1: American people, the America first patriots at that rally comported

1089
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: themselves under fire. To me, it's the most important one.

1090
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: They didn't stampede, they didn't run, they didn't hurt anyone.

1091
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: In fact, they did the opposite. They helped people who

1092
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: needed it, and that matters. So, folks, I'll see you tomorrow.
