You know, it's hard for 4 00:00:20,897 --> 00:00:23,497 Speaker 1: us in America to imagine what everyday life is like 5 00:00:23,497 --> 00:00:26,097 Speaker 1: in Israel right now because everything changed on October seventh 6 00:00:26,097 --> 00:00:29,017 Speaker 1: when their citizens were attacked by Hamas terrorists. They're still 7 00:00:29,017 --> 00:00:32,777 Speaker 1: a near constant barrage of missiles and it's one form 8 00:00:32,777 --> 00:00:36,657 Speaker 1: of hostilities after another directed at the Jewish people. That's 9 00:00:36,657 --> 00:00:39,537 Speaker 1: why I've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, 10 00:00:39,537 --> 00:00:43,297 Speaker 1: the IFCJ. This is an organization dedicated to showing Israeli 11 00:00:43,337 --> 00:00:45,657 Speaker 1: citizens they are not alone. We want them to know 12 00:00:45,737 --> 00:00:48,337 Speaker 1: that there are people worldwide who care for their safety. 13 00:00:48,697 --> 00:00:52,297 Speaker 1: Christians like you support Israel through the IFCJ. It's this 14 00:00:52,377 --> 00:00:55,137 Speaker 1: support that helps citizens of Israel remains steadfast and strong. 15 00:00:55,297 --> 00:00:58,457 Speaker 1: Visit them online to please consider donating to help support 16 00:00:58,497 --> 00:01:03,137 Speaker 1: this worthy cause. IFCJ dot org is the website. That's 17 00:01:03,217 --> 00:01:07,417 Speaker 1: IFCJ dot org. I've been worried about this day for 18 00:01:07,617 --> 00:01:12,537 Speaker 1: a long time. An assassin trying to kill President Trump 19 00:01:12,617 --> 00:01:17,977 Speaker 1: today at a rally in Pennsylvania, just hours before I'm 20 00:01:18,017 --> 00:01:22,137 Speaker 1: sitting here talking to you. I saw the first video 21 00:01:22,257 --> 00:01:29,097 Speaker 1: coming out Trump at this rally. Gunfire, clear, gunfire, and 22 00:01:29,217 --> 00:01:32,337 Speaker 1: he goes and he touches his head and there's blood, 23 00:01:33,937 --> 00:01:36,577 Speaker 1: and of course my first thought was, oh my god, 24 00:01:36,577 --> 00:01:42,257 Speaker 1: they've done it. And I just had this this pit 25 00:01:42,337 --> 00:01:47,937 Speaker 1: of my stomach, just this revulsion of horror that this 26 00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:53,737 Speaker 1: could happen in America today, and to Trump. We know 27 00:01:54,417 --> 00:01:58,497 Speaker 1: that they have been saying absolutely unhinged things about him 28 00:01:58,697 --> 00:02:02,937 Speaker 1: for years now. We know the media says that he's 29 00:02:03,057 --> 00:02:07,617 Speaker 1: Hitler esque and that he's a fascist and an authoritarian 30 00:02:07,657 --> 00:02:09,657 Speaker 1: and a threat to democracy. But there was a part 31 00:02:09,697 --> 00:02:14,137 Speaker 1: of me that had hoped it wouldn't cross that threshold 32 00:02:14,177 --> 00:02:19,937 Speaker 1: to this where clearly a gunman tried to take President 33 00:02:19,937 --> 00:02:25,697 Speaker 1: Trump's life. I do not get overwrought over politics. I 34 00:02:25,697 --> 00:02:29,217 Speaker 1: think you all know. I try to approach the ins 35 00:02:29,257 --> 00:02:32,617 Speaker 1: and outs of politics with a fair mind and with 36 00:02:32,977 --> 00:02:38,497 Speaker 1: a steady view. I felt rage today at what happened. 37 00:02:38,537 --> 00:02:42,657 Speaker 1: I mean a tremendous relief that President Trump is okay. 38 00:02:44,697 --> 00:02:47,097 Speaker 1: You know, I know President Trump, I know his family. 39 00:02:47,497 --> 00:02:50,897 Speaker 1: I've known Trump's family members. I grew up with some 40 00:02:50,937 --> 00:02:53,577 Speaker 1: of his kids in New York, I have known them 41 00:02:53,617 --> 00:02:58,457 Speaker 1: now for thirty years. He's a president, he's also a dad, 42 00:02:58,657 --> 00:03:05,577 Speaker 1: a husband, and that the evil of the left would 43 00:03:05,617 --> 00:03:07,737 Speaker 1: be on display in this way, I can't say I 44 00:03:07,817 --> 00:03:12,737 Speaker 1: am surprised, but it is a shocking reminder of what 45 00:03:12,777 --> 00:03:19,617 Speaker 1: we are up against. They have impeached him, indicted him, 46 00:03:19,817 --> 00:03:22,857 Speaker 1: tried to imprison him, and now tried to assassinate him, 47 00:03:24,097 --> 00:03:30,217 Speaker 1: and he still stands. The ugliness from the left is 48 00:03:30,257 --> 00:03:33,537 Speaker 1: going to continue in this election. They have a dementia patient. 49 00:03:33,577 --> 00:03:35,017 Speaker 1: I don't say that as a joke. It is an 50 00:03:35,017 --> 00:03:38,377 Speaker 1: obvious statement of fact. They have a dementia patient running 51 00:03:38,417 --> 00:03:40,737 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, or at least officially the head of it, 52 00:03:40,777 --> 00:03:43,137 Speaker 1: whether he's running it or Jill's running it or somebody else. 53 00:03:43,177 --> 00:03:46,977 Speaker 1: You know. We can argue about that another day. But 54 00:03:47,057 --> 00:03:49,817 Speaker 1: they'll do anything to stay in power. And they're terrified 55 00:03:49,937 --> 00:03:54,617 Speaker 1: of Trump and the movement that he represents. And I 56 00:03:54,697 --> 00:03:57,377 Speaker 1: understand they're going to say, this is just one gunman, 57 00:03:57,417 --> 00:04:02,257 Speaker 1: this is just one deranged individual. But this comes in 58 00:04:02,377 --> 00:04:10,657 Speaker 1: a context of constant and just unhinged criticism of Trump. 59 00:04:10,897 --> 00:04:15,537 Speaker 1: Freak outs about Trump saying the most inflammatory things. He's 60 00:04:15,577 --> 00:04:18,017 Speaker 1: a racist, he's a rapist, he's a trader, he's a 61 00:04:18,417 --> 00:04:21,377 Speaker 1: go down the list. He's going to end democracy, He's 62 00:04:21,377 --> 00:04:23,097 Speaker 1: going to end the country. I have said this before. 63 00:04:23,417 --> 00:04:26,897 Speaker 1: What would a person who believes what the media says 64 00:04:27,057 --> 00:04:29,097 Speaker 1: every day, which is that Trump is a threat to 65 00:04:29,137 --> 00:04:31,737 Speaker 1: the country. Trump will end the country. What would that 66 00:04:31,777 --> 00:04:36,217 Speaker 1: person be unwilling to do if you knew who Hitler 67 00:04:36,497 --> 00:04:42,217 Speaker 1: was before he was the dictator of the Third Reich, 68 00:04:43,337 --> 00:04:46,377 Speaker 1: would you have done something? That's the question that lunatics 69 00:04:46,417 --> 00:04:48,817 Speaker 1: out there when they think about Trump, they start to 70 00:04:48,857 --> 00:04:54,217 Speaker 1: associate these things. They think, well, if Trump can end 71 00:04:54,257 --> 00:04:57,617 Speaker 1: the country, I must do something about it. And we've 72 00:04:57,657 --> 00:05:00,417 Speaker 1: been worried about this, and Clay and I talked about 73 00:05:00,457 --> 00:05:02,977 Speaker 1: this on the show recently that there needs to be 74 00:05:03,097 --> 00:05:07,417 Speaker 1: more Secret Service protection for Trump. And here we are 75 00:05:09,137 --> 00:05:15,817 Speaker 1: seeing the the first real assassination attempt against a presidential 76 00:05:15,817 --> 00:05:18,497 Speaker 1: candidate or president in this country in what forty years 77 00:05:18,537 --> 00:05:26,217 Speaker 1: since Reagan, and this, I think, more than more than 78 00:05:26,217 --> 00:05:29,217 Speaker 1: anything that we have seen, should be a reminder of 79 00:05:29,257 --> 00:05:32,337 Speaker 1: the stakes here. This isn't just a fight about right 80 00:05:32,377 --> 00:05:34,537 Speaker 1: and left, Democrat and Republican. This is a fight of 81 00:05:34,537 --> 00:05:40,297 Speaker 1: good against evil. The other side is unwilling to allow 82 00:05:40,337 --> 00:05:42,377 Speaker 1: the American people to have a free and fair choice. 83 00:05:42,937 --> 00:05:44,737 Speaker 1: They did not allow a free and fair choice in 84 00:05:44,777 --> 00:05:46,857 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. They will not allow a free and fair 85 00:05:46,937 --> 00:05:49,857 Speaker 1: choice now. And given where the polls are, I don't 86 00:05:49,857 --> 00:05:52,977 Speaker 1: think they believe that mail in ballots and COVID shenanigans 87 00:05:52,977 --> 00:05:55,177 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it will be enough. Joe 88 00:05:55,217 --> 00:05:59,737 Speaker 1: Biden is not of sound mind. It's obvious to everyone, 89 00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:02,097 Speaker 1: including Democrats who now have written even in the New 90 00:06:02,137 --> 00:06:05,137 Speaker 1: York Times about this. There's no debate about whether Joe 91 00:06:05,177 --> 00:06:07,337 Speaker 1: Biden is of sound mind. It's just a question of 92 00:06:08,097 --> 00:06:11,217 Speaker 1: what are they going to do about this? We saw it, 93 00:06:11,417 --> 00:06:18,057 Speaker 1: one leftist democrat did and tried to change the course 94 00:06:18,097 --> 00:06:20,857 Speaker 1: of history. I really do think everyone needs to understand 95 00:06:21,977 --> 00:06:27,137 Speaker 1: Trump was grazed by a bullet. If that bullet had 96 00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:32,657 Speaker 1: been just two inches different in trajectory, he would have 97 00:06:32,697 --> 00:06:36,017 Speaker 1: been assassinated on live TV at a political rally, and 98 00:06:36,097 --> 00:06:40,057 Speaker 1: the country would have seen that, and just the psychic 99 00:06:40,177 --> 00:06:45,937 Speaker 1: wound from that that we would all bear, and the 100 00:06:45,977 --> 00:06:52,897 Speaker 1: possibility of not just division, but real sectarian political conflict 101 00:06:52,937 --> 00:06:55,457 Speaker 1: breaking out in this country would be all too real. 102 00:06:55,897 --> 00:06:58,737 Speaker 1: I thought they had assassinated Trump for about three minutes 103 00:06:58,857 --> 00:07:01,537 Speaker 1: as I was figuring out and looking at the breaking news. 104 00:07:02,097 --> 00:07:04,057 Speaker 1: I was working out at the gym when this happened. 105 00:07:04,137 --> 00:07:05,737 Speaker 1: Is all noisy. I couldn't tell was going on, but 106 00:07:05,817 --> 00:07:09,217 Speaker 1: my phone sort of just just blowing up all over 107 00:07:09,257 --> 00:07:11,497 Speaker 1: the place, vibratingvibrating, vibrating more, more and more. Do you 108 00:07:11,537 --> 00:07:15,537 Speaker 1: see what happened? You see what happened? Thank God, he's okay. 109 00:07:16,497 --> 00:07:21,177 Speaker 1: But we were this close, this close to losing President Trump, 110 00:07:21,977 --> 00:07:24,497 Speaker 1: and with it, I don't know what would have happened. 111 00:07:25,017 --> 00:07:26,777 Speaker 1: I don't even want to think about what would have happened. 112 00:07:28,497 --> 00:07:31,417 Speaker 1: I've been telling you all along that, just in the 113 00:07:31,457 --> 00:07:34,577 Speaker 1: face of the Lawfair campaign, if you believe in justice 114 00:07:34,617 --> 00:07:37,457 Speaker 1: in this country, you have to vote for Trump because 115 00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,337 Speaker 1: of what they've done in Lawfair. And now you see 116 00:07:40,337 --> 00:07:45,377 Speaker 1: this a gunman trying to take away the clear choice 117 00:07:45,457 --> 00:07:48,177 Speaker 1: of the American people in this election, already before the 118 00:07:48,257 --> 00:07:52,457 Speaker 1: votes are even cast. And this is a fight between 119 00:07:52,697 --> 00:07:57,857 Speaker 1: good and evil. And it is absolutely incumbent upon every 120 00:07:57,857 --> 00:08:02,297 Speaker 1: American who is still able to see the difference to 121 00:08:02,417 --> 00:08:04,337 Speaker 1: vote for Donald Trump. I know a lot of Democrats 122 00:08:04,377 --> 00:08:06,817 Speaker 1: obviously won't do that. I'm sure that they'll all ignore 123 00:08:06,857 --> 00:08:10,057 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, but to those who are still persuadable, 124 00:08:11,177 --> 00:08:13,737 Speaker 1: you have seen what the two sides represent. You've seen 125 00:08:13,737 --> 00:08:16,497 Speaker 1: the lies they've told about Biden's state of mind, and 126 00:08:16,577 --> 00:08:21,417 Speaker 1: now you've seen the preparation for violence that the Democrat 127 00:08:21,497 --> 00:08:25,177 Speaker 1: Party has been engaged in for all of Biden's term. 128 00:08:25,297 --> 00:08:27,497 Speaker 1: By saying that Trump is the end of democracy, and 129 00:08:27,537 --> 00:08:30,497 Speaker 1: Trump will destroy the country and all these other things. 130 00:08:31,017 --> 00:08:32,297 Speaker 1: I want to leave you with this. I'll be at 131 00:08:32,337 --> 00:08:33,777 Speaker 1: the R and C all week. It'll be a very 132 00:08:33,817 --> 00:08:36,377 Speaker 1: tense RNC, but I'm glad that I will be there. 133 00:08:36,417 --> 00:08:39,497 Speaker 1: I'm glad that I'll be with my fellow Republicans and Conservatives, 134 00:08:39,497 --> 00:08:41,897 Speaker 1: and hopefully I'll still be able to see President Trump there. 135 00:08:41,937 --> 00:08:45,017 Speaker 1: And I just spent forty minutes with Trump and Clay 136 00:08:45,057 --> 00:08:48,217 Speaker 1: on the phone yesterday, and he could have been taken 137 00:08:48,257 --> 00:08:53,337 Speaker 1: from us today. But I want to leave you with this, 138 00:08:54,977 --> 00:08:56,857 Speaker 1: and if you haven't seen it, you should see it. 139 00:08:57,577 --> 00:09:00,777 Speaker 1: You will see it. I'm sure. The photo of Donald 140 00:09:00,777 --> 00:09:04,937 Speaker 1: Trump being taken off that stage after an assassin's bullet 141 00:09:05,417 --> 00:09:09,697 Speaker 1: by divine intervention just misses him, just grazes his ear. 142 00:09:10,897 --> 00:09:13,697 Speaker 1: The photo of Trump being dragged off that stage by 143 00:09:13,777 --> 00:09:18,297 Speaker 1: Secret Service in the midst of an assassination attempt. Gunfire 144 00:09:18,457 --> 00:09:25,537 Speaker 1: just rung out, and Trump, while he's bleeding, stops, tells 145 00:09:25,537 --> 00:09:28,537 Speaker 1: his Secret Service to hold on, and he raises his 146 00:09:28,577 --> 00:09:32,497 Speaker 1: fist at the crowd, and he says, fight. That is 147 00:09:32,537 --> 00:09:38,817 Speaker 1: this election. That is what this country is facing right now.
