Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E NI Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety
Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every
day and make us a part of your morning routine.
But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Two three starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael del Joiner.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
We're into something, aren't we. Seven minutes after the hour,
let me be the first to say good morning. One
chance to live this Monday, September sixteenth, twenty twenty four.
One chance to understand it, one chance to make a
difference in other people's lives and cherish our own. Thanks
for making your morning show a part of your early
morning routine. I am Michael del Journal Jeffrey Lyon has

(00:55):
the controls. If you're just waking up. The suspect is
in custody after the FI calling it a second assassination
attempt on former President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, President Biden and
Vice President Harris are relieved to know he's fine, encouraging
people to tone down the rhetoric that mainly is being
led by former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

(01:17):
You know, brothers are very competitive. Michael dies, the whole
world stops for about four weeks. Tito Jackson, one of
the original five members of the Jackson Five, has died
at the age of seventy, apparent heart attack. And the
Bear continued to it streak with eleven more ammis last night,
and despite his third concussion, and I really think, first

(01:39):
of all, I have Tyreek Hill on my fantasy football team.
He is going to be virtually worthless without Tua. And
even I am looking in the eye and saying, I
have seen all three of Tua's concussions. I've seen his
body react to these brain injuries. Tua needs to retire,
but says he's not going to. As far as our

(02:02):
big stories of the day that don't match the narrative,
far and away, whether you're on the Internet or watching
narrativized news cycles, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump is
the top story. And how many of these do we
have to have before we can say, well, that's not
a loane gunman in a nut. We got a lot
of loan gunmen and nuts, and we do, but how

(02:25):
many have to happen before what's going on here? This
is starting to look like Austin Powers and they're sending
different hitmen one at a time. For me, the biggest
question is how'd this guy from Hawaii no where Donald
Trump was golfing on a Sunday and at what time
and what hole? Does anybody have an answer to that?
I'd like it. What do we know about this individual?

(02:53):
Ryan Wesley Ruth, Well, he's from North Carolina, he's fifty
eight years old and now lives in Hawaii, and according
to his fiance, he was doing a GoFundMe account for him.
He was obsessed with the war in Ukraine and fighting
Russia and was trying to get people to sign up
to go there and fight. He in June of twenty twenty,

(03:19):
made a post on X directed at then President Donald
Trump to say he would win reelection if he issued
an executive order for the Justice Department to prosecute police misconduct.
So now you're getting into a bunch of different issues.
Is he a Republican or a Democrat? He is registered
as a non affiliate. We know he supported Telsea Gabbard

(03:40):
her presidential campaign, who was a Democrat, and we know
his last vote was in a Democrat primary in July
of this year. Following the assassination attempt on Trump, Ruth
urged Biden and Harris to visit those who were wounded
to the shooting at the hospital and attend the funeral
of the former fire chief killed in the rally. What

(04:02):
to make a bat doesn't speak necessarily against the assassination attempt,
but the collateral damage. Voter records show, as I mentioned,
he's an naffiliated voter in North Carolina in twenty twelve.
He most recently voted in person during the state's Democratic
primary in March of this year. Now does that mean

(04:23):
he's been in the States since March of this year
and not Hawaii. We don't know. He's only given about
one hundred and fury dollars since twenty nineteen using a
Hawaii account. Records show that while living in Greensboro, North Carolina,
Ruth had multiple run ins with law enforcement. You got
to put an asterisk by this, and if I'm the
first one to share this with youay, look, I watched,

(04:48):
with the exception of Church. I watched a lot of
football this weekend, so maybe you did too. Maybe this
got by you, But this is no small detail. I
had heard that he was from North Carolina and living
in Hawaii, thinking, boy, he's a long way from home.
I asked the immediate question, how does some fifty eight
year old shed builder from Hawaii know where Donald Trump

(05:13):
is golfing? It's one thing if it's a planned event
like in Pennsylvania. Now this guy know where he was that,
He's got his AK forty seven, his GoPro ready to
film the assassination, the nose of the guns sticking through
the defence, waiting for the President to enter the sixth hole.
Now again, I'm with everybody else. Kudos to Secret Service,

(05:34):
that was quick work. Kudos to people took the pictures
of the license plate. Kudos to local law enforcement who
apprehended him. I get all that, But how did what
I'm about to share? How is this not you? I
hear a different station than you, probably during the break,
but it was, like, you know, all the lead story
in this particular network was this shooter, and no one

(05:57):
mentioned this. Records show that while living in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Ruth had multiple run ins with law enforcement. He was
convicted in two thousand and two of possessing a weapon
of mass destruction. That's a big charge not to have
been mentioned. The records do not provide details about the case,

(06:20):
but a news and Record story from two thousand and
two says a man with the same name was arrested
after a three hour standoff with police. The story says
he pulled over he was pulled over for a traffic stop,
put his hand on his gun. He then later barricaded
himself inside a roofing business. He now built sheds with
his son in Hawaii. At the time, he owned a

(06:40):
roofing company, according to state filings. Yeah, I think the
guy that built sheds with his son, who had the
roofing company, is the same guy who had the gun
and the weapon of mass destruction charge and barricaded himself
with law enforcement. Now there's a lot of people are
gonna have questions today about how to get four hundred

(07:01):
yards away from a president. Again, my question is how
did he know what hold the president was honor that
he was golfing that day. Furthermore, how many attempts on
this president's life do we have to have before we
stop thinking these just as disturbed lone gunmen incited by
out of control politicians. I think the right has a

(07:23):
right to say you can't keep getting on television presenting.
I mean, I'm thinking of the debate where Kamala Harris
was portraying him as a nut at one point almost
called him this thing over here, and then she edited herself.
But they portray him as the boogeyman, They portray him

(07:44):
as the next hitler. They say the soul of the
nation is on the line, the future of democracy is
on the line. And then every time there's a somebody
getting ready to take a shot at this president, they
say we need to tone down the rhetoric, but they
don't tone down their own. That's a legitimate beef, and
it's not enough to just come out after each shooting

(08:05):
and say violence has no place in America. And by
the way, I saw this the first attempt. And I
know this sounds mean, and I'm not a mean person,
but here's a guy that was charged with having possessed
a weapon of mass destruction in two thousand and two,
had a police stand off with a weapon and there's

(08:28):
nobody in the left trying to say, how'd this guy
get a gun? They never make it about the gun
when it's aimed at the president. My favorite story of
the day is this. How about the Washington Post waking
up this morning? I mean, everybody's headline is the same

(08:50):
suspect and custody in second assassination attempt or something to
that wording. Not the Washington POSTBA investigating Trump golf course
episode as a potential assassination attempt. A golf course episode.

(09:10):
I shared earlier, I had a golf course episode one time.
I didn't know it, but I was two over par.
I happened to look at the scorecard heading to the
sixteenth tee and I went, I'm only two over par. Wow.
I have never shot lower than a seventy seven in
my life. Could tonight today be the day? Double bogie,
triple bogie, triple bookie. That's an episode on a golf course.

(09:31):
It is too much ginger and sushi before golfing, rumble rumbled.
That's an episode on a golf course. What else is
a guy with an AK forty seven and a go
pro with the nose of the gun sticking through a
fence pointed at where the president's going to be playing
one hole later, one four hundred yard hole later. How

(09:52):
is that a golf course episode? How is that a
potential assassination? It was gone. I mean, you got to
you gotta hit him for it to be an assassination attempt.
So many questions, just another news cycle. My guess is
no answers coming in non related news. Big story Pennsylvania

(10:17):
Supreme Court rules mail ballots with incorrect dates will not
be counted. You know, we've talked about this many times.
Do I have two minutes? I think I do. Sure, Oh, well,
you're being generous for a change ahead. No, it's just that,
you know, we've talked about big picture. In twenty twenty,

(10:38):
they had COVID. They don't have COVID this time, so
they can't hide their candidate in a basement like they
did during COVID. They're trying to hide Kamala Harrison plain sight,
and it's not working. Number two, they don't control the
Internet like they used to and social media like they
used to, thanks to Elon Musk, who now controls X

(11:00):
no longer Twitter, because a key part in twenty twenty
was they control the narrative through the media, which they
still try and do, and they silenced any opposing views
because they controlled the social media landscape. But they don't
anymore and they're not getting away with it. So right
now you've got two different narratives going on. One that

(11:21):
the mainstream media that has no influence, has far less
ratings than it ever has in history. And then you
have the internet narrative, which is where most of the
population is. That's a real wrench in this. And all
those election laws that they weaponized COVID to change, they
don't exist anymore. Here's another one that falls in Pennsylvania.
Remember I don't play the whole steal an election. You

(11:44):
can go read for yourself Time Magazine, February fifteenth, twenty twenty.
That's the Left telling you how they won the election
in twenty twenty. It was a shadow campaign to save democracy.
Call it stealing it fair and school where call it
what you want. It is what it is, and you
can read it in their own words. And it's just
as I described, control the narrative, silence, opposing views, change

(12:08):
election laws. They don't have any of that this time.
And in Pennsylvania, where if they're gonna pull any shenanigans.
It's always the Philly area. It's always the Atlanta area
in Georgia, and it's always the Milwaukee area in Wisconsin.
They're gonna have a harder time in Philadelphia. Any incorrect
dates on ballots will not be counted. A huge victory

(12:29):
for Donald Trump, a huge feet to feet for anybody
trying to pull shenanigans. As far as that hiding in
plain sight, seventy eight percent of likely voters say it's
important that Kamala Harris do more interviews, and fifty four
percent say it's very important. You're trying to hide someone
in plain sight and it's noticed and it's not working.

(12:51):
Only nineteen percent don't think it's important for Harris to
give media interviews. Fifty four percent very important, nineteen percent
not very important. Can you imagine if I broke it
by party lines, You're not getting away with hiding her
in plain sight. And the more you hide her, well,
you might be avoiding some collateral damage of her performance.

(13:15):
No one's going to vote for her when they don't
trust her and they see you're hiding her. That's what
we're really dealing with, and it's a lot I might.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Add, this is your Morning Show with Michael del Chorna.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
All right, twenty six minutes after the hour. Welcome to Monday,
the sixteenth of September. Top five stories of the day,
New Moroluno a second attempt on Donald Trump's life. Mark
Mayfield has our Road to the White House.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Road to the White House, twenty twenty four. The FBI
is investigating an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump at
his West Palm Beach golf club yesterday. Trump confirmed he
was safe and unharmed.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came
to us and said, hey, I saw the guy running
out of the pushes. He jumped into a black Nissan
and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tank.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
That's Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Branhaw, who reported that
the US Secret Service engaged a man near the Trump
International Golf Course armed with an AK style rifle equipped
with a scope. After dropping the weapon, the suspect fled
in an suv and was later apprehended in a neighboring county.
And Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says that former
President Trump is in amazingly good spirits following the incident.
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
FTX co founder Sam bankman Fried is appealing his conviction.
Tammy Trihila reports.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
The so called crypto King was convicted of multiple fraud
and conspiracy charges after it was discovered he illegally used
client and lenders money to fund his extravagant lifestyle. On Friday,
Bankman Fried's lawyers filed on appeal, arguing he was the
victim of a rush to judgment by a biased jury.
They requested his conviction be reversed and the case reassigned
to a new judge for retrial. Bankman Freed is serving

(14:56):
twenty five years in prison. I'm Tammy Trio six.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Semmy Awards was last night Hacks the Outstanding Comedy.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Please support comedy.

Speaker 7 (15:04):
It speaks true to.

Speaker 8 (15:06):
Power, it really does. Doesn't support your local comedian.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
And we have to go because we start shooting the
next season in five days, So thank you.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
A good night. Outstanding Drama Series went to showgun. Listen.
I gotta tell you there's always drama trying to get
your reservation. Who they're going to sit you with ordering
getting the order right? Then I feed too much ginger.
Sometimes you make it out of the door and you're
running to the bathroom. I'm talking real drama. What it's
not a restaurant. It's a TV show, Oh the show,

(15:40):
not that it's a whole different drama.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
We share this award with our extraordinary cast and crew
from Japan and North America. Shogun is a show about translation,
not what is found when you do safety meetings into languages.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Show received Are You Ready for This? Twenty five nominations
for its first eligible year, and won four during the
seventy six Emmy Awards Last Night won a record breaking
fourteen Emmys at the Creative Arts ceremony days before, and
Tito Jackson. Tito was the third of ten children, so

(16:16):
I was correct third oldest, and I was correct ten
children altogether, although I didn't remember. The tenth was Reba.
Oh yeah, third of ten children. Tito apparently had a
heart attack while driving and passed away at the age
of seventy. Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you
listen to your morning show live every day. We're heard
on great stations like News Talk five point fifty k
FYI and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety K. Ex in

(16:39):
Portland and ten ninety the Patriot in CPF. Make us
a part of your morning routine. We'd love to have
you listen live, but in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
All right, we had an assassination attempt number two on
Donald Trump. President Biden and Vice President Harris are relieved
Trump is okay after the shooting and encouraging everyone, of course,
to tone down their rhetoric as they will move on

(17:02):
today with the fate of democracy as his stake. If
the Boogeyman wins in a big night for the Bear,
for hacked, for Showgun at the Emmy's last night. And finally,
despite three concussions, and I've seen all three of them,
and I know a thing or two about brain injuries.
I think it'll be great for my fantasy team because

(17:23):
Tyreek Hill's worthless without him. But I think Tuas should
walk away from the game. He says he's not planning
to retire. That's just some of the top stories waking up,
as always are your morning show. National correspondent Roy O'Neil
is following all the big stories. There's none bigger than
an assassination attempt. Rory. What do we know about this
fifty eight year old shooter.

Speaker 10 (17:41):
So far interesting background to say the least. You know,
Ryan Routh is his name. Fifty eight years old, a
little bit old for this kind of a scenario that
we're talking about. Spent time living in North Carolina and Hawaii.
Has also spent time in Ukraine advocating for a stronger
military area of response against Vladimir Putin in the invasion.

(18:03):
He's a self published author. He's been praising and more
often more recently very critical of Donald Trump in somen
of some of his online postings, and apparently police say
that he is the one who had an AK forty
seven with him, along with some ceramic plates, backpacks, and
a GoPro at the Trump International Golf Course there where

(18:26):
the former president was playing with a mega donor yesterday.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
What's interesting is that no one is discussing the fact
that he in two thousand and two was charged with
possession of a weapon of mass destruction apparently pulled over
in the traffic stop, had his hand on a gun,
then he barricaded himself. There was a long standoff at
that time. It was somebody that owned a roofing company
in North Carolina. We know now in Hawaii with his son.

(18:51):
He runs a shed building company. Is there some way
that because they can't connect the dots and necessarily confirm
that that it's the same person, that no one's reporting
it because that's a pret big charge associated with a
fifty eight year old shooter who apparently was going to
film his assassination, had a go pro to boot.

Speaker 10 (19:11):
Yeah, the two thousand and two incident is out there.
I think we're still trying to figure out more about it.
There's also the videotape of him that surfaced in an
interview that he gave while in Ukraine. Yeah, so again,
this guy's got quite the checkered past. I think now
that it's a Monday and that you know, the eight
teams are all being brought in, I think we're going
to start hearing more about that.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
I guess my biggest question is how does some fifty
eight year old who used to live in North Carolina,
not Florida, has been living in Hawaii, appears to have
been back since March because he voted in a Democratic
primary in North Carolina. How does he know when the
president's playing golf and what holy beyond and all that?

Speaker 10 (19:50):
Well, we don't know how long he was also hiding
in the bushes. You know that's also a fact. I
don't know if you've been there all day, you know
you can. Donald Trump's playing is visible for my ninety
f when it's part at the Palm Beach Airport, So
everyone knows when he's in town.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
That's not really a big surprise.

Speaker 10 (20:06):
And at one o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday
for Donald Trump to be playing golf at his golf course,
I bet money that's gonna happen. So I've heard a
lot of people say, how did he know? Honestly, how
did you not know when the former president's in town
he plays golf.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
In Yeah, So here's another And I'm not playing talk
radio guy here, so I'm just you know, we all
got to just have these conversations. So think about Pennsylvania.
A planned event, a building with a clear eyesight of
the target considered an outer perimeter, really bad judgment. A
guy shows up, he's got a range finder, he's not golfing,

(20:45):
so that would be associated with long distant shooting. He's
walking around, He's viewed as somebody of suspicion he's lost
track of Then he is seen trying to climb on
a building, has an altercation with law enforcement, climbing on
the building, gets on the building, scoots across during the speech,
gets eight shots off before he's taken out. All right,

(21:07):
that's that one in Pennsylvania. This time a guy has
got a nose of a gun sticking out through a
fence wooded on a golf course, and that spotted five
hundred yards before he can do anything. We've either really
improved or wow. That just certainly an interesting twist to
the whole thing. All right, so we do know that.

(21:28):
You know, obviously Ukraine's a big part of the story
for this guy. I mean, this is an ongoing obsession.
As fiance was raising money, he had been there, We
have videos of him there. I mean, he definitely had
it out for the Russians. He definitely was obsessed with
supporting Ukraine. You could connect the dots that he soured
on Donald Trump. Not that Donald Trump said he doesn't care.
He just said that if he was president, Putin would
have never invaded and once he becomes president, before even

(21:50):
take the oath of office, I'll end this war. So
that may be how he soured on him and that's
a legitimate cover story. It's just a wacko but okay, yeah,
or just a wacko anything else that might point to
I thought the most interesting other tidbit was that he
he wanted Biden and Harris to visit those wounded at

(22:14):
the Pennsylvania assassination and to go to the funeral for
the firefighter that was killed. The fire chief that was killed.
Didn't necessarily speak against the assassination, but thought that the
collateral damage needed to be honored at. That was a
bizarre twist too, don't you think.

Speaker 10 (22:29):
Yeah, I mean everything about this guy is bizarre, you
know when you look at it, and you know, as
I said, they're going to have a psych evaluation.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Apparently that's part of.

Speaker 10 (22:38):
The court hearing that they're going to have today, trying
to figure this case out moving forward, whether or not
this is criminally prosecuted or something handled by you know,
mental health authorities.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
So one, all our focus turned to incompetence of secret service.
Two might turn to the competence of secret service. But
do we have a mental health problem or do we
have multiple shooters they're going to just keep coming until
somebody or.

Speaker 10 (23:04):
Is this guy being paid by Iran. I mean, you know,
that's that's the stuff they got to look into to
button all this down because it's it's complicated because we
know that they're increased threats by that Iran has raised
chatter to target Donald Trump, and that's something that can't
be ignored.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Here on roy O'Neil, always great reporting. He'll be back
again next hour. If you're just leaking up, I think
you know what number one is. But here are your
time five stories of the day. A second attempt on
Trump's life. Mark Mayfield has our Road to the White House.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Road to the White House, twenty twenty four. The FBI
is investigating an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump at
his West Palm Beach golf club yesterday. Trump confirmed he
was safe and unharmed.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came
to us and said, hey, I saw the guy running
out of the pushes.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
He jumped into a.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Black Nissan and I took a picture of a vehicle and.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
The that's Palm Beach County Shriff Rick Branshaw, who reported
that the US Secret Service engaged a man near the
Trump International Golf Course armed with an AK style rifle
equipped with a scope. After dropping the weapon, the suspect
fled in an suv and was later apprehended in a
neighboring county. And Republican vice presidential nominee jd Vance says
that former President Trump is in amazingly good spirits following

(24:20):
the incident, I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
President Joe Biden told the Congressional Black Caucus members this
election is a battle for the soul of the nation.
Of course, after an assassination attempt, nobody wants to play
that sound. So let's play the sound of Kamala Harris
at the dinner talking about how the Congressional Black Caucus
fights and we win.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
We will build, yes, what I call an opportunity economy,
so every person has an opportunity to own a home,
start a business, and build intergenerational wealth, including my plan
to help create twenty five million new small businesses in
the next four years.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, most Americans plan to get this year's flu shot,
so much the COVID nineteen booster Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 8 (25:03):
In a new survey from the Ohio State University Wexner
Medical Center, fifty six percent said they will get the
flu shot, but only forty three percent said they'll get
the COVID booster. Over a third of respondents also said
they've gotten COVID vaccines in the past but don't plan
to do it again. Doctors recommend that everyone, including children

(25:23):
over six months of age, received their updated COVID shots
and that children over six get their annual updated flu shots.
I'm Brian schuk.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Hey, second member of the famed original Jackson five is dead.
Tito Jackson dead at the age of seventy. Entertainment Tonight
reported Jackson suffered a heart attack while driving. He was
the third of ten children hacks Outstanding Comedy at the
seventy six Emmy Awards, Showgun Outstanding Drama, and another great
night for the Bear. Continuing to break records the FX

(25:53):
comedy I don't get why it's called a comedy. I've
seen all three seasons. It's spectacular. Everyone should watch it.
I would not necessarily call it a gigo fest. It
took home eleven Emmys, breaking its own record for the
most won by the comedy series in the last ten years.
Big wins for the show included Lead Comedy Actor over

(26:15):
Larry David, that one Hurt Wow, supporting Comedy, Actor and
Actress and Directing. FXA Network also dominated the awards, finishing
the night with a total of thirty six wins, including
eighteen for Showgun Alone.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Listen wor The Yard Boy, and My Morning Show is
Your Morning Show with My buddy Michael del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Hey suspect is in custody after the FBI is calling
an apparent assassination attempt on president Former President Donald Trump.
An original member of the Jackson five is dead and
despite three concussions, Tua says he's not planning on retiring.
Just some of the top stories waking up this morning
on Monday, September sixteenth, twenty twenty four. Although none bigger

(26:59):
than the assassination attempt a second on former President Donald Trump,
our White House correspondent John Decker was busy this weekend
following all the campaign movements, none bigger than this one
in Florida. Good morning, John.

Speaker 11 (27:13):
Well, that's right. Let's go back in terms of what
we know. We know that no shots were fired at
former President Donald Trump. The shots that were filed you
yesterday were actually fired by the Secret Service, and that
happened at the former president's golf course down in South Florida.
It's more I think the FBI describes it as an
assassination attempt. It's more of an attempt of an attempt

(27:34):
is the best way to describe it. To the suspect
now in custody, we don't know the motive, and hopefully
by the end of this week, within the next few days,
we'll learn a little bit more about this individual who
what we've known so far, voted for Donald Trump in
twenty sixteen, soured on Donald Trump for the twenty twenty
election cycle, was supportive of both Nikki Haley and Vivek
Ramaswami this election cycle. So that's what we know about

(27:57):
this individual so far.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Okay, so the obsession seemed to be on the Ukraine War.
I mean that's something I think we can definitely take away.
Prior yeah, prior to that. You got a guy from
North Carolina. I think he's the same guy with the
roofing business in North Carolina, goes to Hawaii, starts a
business building sheds with his son, has been back in

(28:20):
North Carolina. Because we know he voted in the Democrat
primary in March. I agree with you, probably soured on
the perceived position of the president, although I must say,
Donald Trump has never said he's against Ukraine. He said
that if he was president, Putin would have never invaded.
We'll never know, but he has said that if you
reelect me, I'll get this war over with before I

(28:41):
even take the oath of office. But somewhere along the line,
Ukraine's the obsession, and that's ree Soward. We also know
that he voted for Tulsey Gabbert, so he was a
Democrat in twenty twenty or so, it would appear, although
there are a lot of Republicans who like Tulsea Gabbert too.
Other than that, just this two thousand and two incident
jumps out at me. I mean, the guy's arrested for
him a weapon of mass destruction. He's pulled over in

(29:02):
a traffic stop, has his hand on his gun. It
leads to a standoff, he barricades himself in. He's arrested.
You think people would be talking more about that than
they are. Obviously, this is a troubled individual for a
long time.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
Well, that's right, long rap sheet. His son speaks about
has spoken publicly about his father in this regard and
his son. He's free to have this expression. But he
also is no fan of the former president. He's made
that clear as well in terms of his public comments.
But much that we need to learn about that individual

(29:38):
in the meantime, Michael, lots of questions for the Secret Service.
They did their job yesterday, They did their job well,
but certainly the questions regard going forward what type of
protection the former president should have, as well as the
vice president President Biden, making certain that these leaders are
safe no matter where they go, whether it's in Washington,

(30:00):
DC or anywhere around the country.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
I'm not playing talk radio guy here, I'm just asking
out loud, as two Americans talking to each other. All
the other candidates haven't been shot at. Donald Trump has
been shot at once and hit and stopped before shot
at what apparently in about two hundred yards might have
been a second attempt. The beefing up needs to be
to protect this individual, a former president and a leading

(30:22):
candidate to be president right now.

Speaker 11 (30:24):
Right well, I think that that certainly is a focus
because of what you point out. Two potential attempts, one
that we know of for certain in Butler, Pennsylvania that
happened in mid July. That certainly drew our attention to
the dangers that are out there. But you know, I
think that the Secret Service must be aware in terms

(30:46):
of what they need to do, the protective detail that's
assigned to all leaders, certainly that includes the former president.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
So he has been portrayed consistently and persistently by Biden
and now Harris and most recently in the demo credit debate,
that Donald Trump is a dictator, dictator want to be friended, dictators,
a threat to democracy. Does this rhetoric have anything to
do with inciting mental illness or what seems to be
the second and is there going to be a third
and a fourth attempt to take his life? I think

(31:15):
that's a legitimate criticism.

Speaker 11 (31:18):
Well, I don't know, you know, I don't know the
answer to that, nor to you You know, people are
mentally ill, you know, sometimes they don't need any kind
of incitement to go about doing what it is that
they do. We still don't even know the motive behind
the shooter that was killed in Butler, Pennsylvania. That hasn't
been determined yet. That's pretty remarkable. Here we are more

(31:38):
than two months after that assassination attempt and not exactly
clear the motivations behind that particular individual.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
So to that point, this one's alive.

Speaker 11 (31:49):
I wanted to drump to any conclusions about anybody.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, and to that point, this one's alive. We can
maybe learn a lot more. John Deck, or White House correspondent,
fowing all the candidate movement this weekend, obviously the biggest
events yesterday, We're a second assassination attempt apparently was thwarted
by the Secret Service.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
