Speaker 1 (00:03):
Morning, you're about to enter the arena and join the
battle to save America with your host, Sean Parnell. Folks,
I am angry. I am real damn angry.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Last night I was sitting there having a drink with
my amazing wife, Commander Melanie, and we were talking about
you guessed at the rally on Saturday. You know, for
those of you all who are just joining us or
maybe late to the punch on Battleground Live. My name
is Sean Parnell. I'm the host of this amazing show.
It's a show that is and will always be for you,
(00:38):
for the people, for the grassroots. I'm a combat vet,
best selling author, humble servant of this country. My wife
and I were at the rally on Saturday. We've been
close with the Trump since we ran for Congress in
twenty twenty. They're an amazing family. But we were talking
about the rally, and as my life was talking to
(01:01):
me about stuff, I just got so damn angry because
as this is going on, the Republican National Convention is
happening in the background, and I just this year for
what I appreciate that they're doing it. I respect why
they're doing it. I understand the importance of it, but
(01:23):
I just can't get into it. I just can't. And now,
guess is coming from someone who has spoken in prime
time on opening night of the Republican National Convention in
twenty twenty with Donald Trump at the top of the ticket.
So again, believe me, I understand the importance of it,
but after what happened on Saturday, nothing else really matters
(01:48):
to my man. I know that might sound maybe maybe
you all are listening thinking that that sounds shortsighted. Maybe
you all are thinking, well, you know, hey, it's time
to move on, folks. I just can't move on. I cannot.
I'm Pennsylvania, fourth generation, my state, and the people at
that rally were attacked on Saturday. People were wounded, one
(02:14):
man was killed. President Trump came within millimeters of losing
his life, and I'm going to show you just how
close he came to losing his life. But I'm pissed
because I hear all this talk of unity. Now, if
we're talking unity in the Republican Party, great, we need
every damn person in this boat rowing in the same direction.
(02:38):
We need every person that wants to save this country
in the trenches fighting together, standing in formation, fighting to
save America. We need that, we need that unity. But
I refuse to unite with leftists who want to destroy
this country. I refuse to unite with leftists who are
(03:01):
cheering and mocking the assassination attempt on President Trump, in
an attack that killed and wounded my fellow Pennsylvanians. I
refuse to unite around leftist values or fight with the
rules as they set them on the political battlefield. As
(03:21):
I said many times before on this show and several
times since the rally on Saturday, there's already talk from
mainstream media of cooling of the rhetoric. We need to
take things down a notch. Every single time some leftist
psychopath attacks conservatives and god forbid, they're hurt, sometimes seriously
or killed, leftist media is like, we need to tamp
(03:44):
down the rhetoric. We just we just got to dial
it back. Conservatives, will you join us in dialing back
the rhetoric by listen, We're not the ones that contribute
to it, We're on the receiving end of it. So yes,
while unity in our movement is important, I refuse to
extend an olive branch to our political foes. I refuse
(04:07):
to do it. And the reason why I refuse to
do it is because they're offerings of unity and peace
are lip service. They're fake. They will draw us in,
they will get us to stop the movement forward, and
(04:27):
then they once were stopped and our momentum has stopped,
they will resume the Trump's a dictator narrative and all
Conservatives are Nazis. And guess what, folks, I ain't playing
that game. You know, there's been no transparency on this
interview for the United States Secret Service, none, none, whatsoever.
(04:48):
In fact, Alejandro Majorca has canceled any sort of real
investigation committee investigation in the United States House of Representatives.
It's all a complete and total sham, zero TRANSPARENCYEAH have
zero hero of faith and the result of what that
investigation would bring as well, especially if it's the FBI
conducting it. Now. I want to show you because I've
(05:12):
been posting these images because again I was there. I
was twenty feet from President Trump when he was almost killed.
I was probably ten or fifteen feet away from the
people who were wounded, who were sitting just behind my
wife and I And I'll tell you another thing. You know,
piss me off. You put my fellow Pennsylvanians or Americans
in the crosshairs. So I went to fight and defend
(05:33):
this country on foreign battlefields to protect the people of
this great country. Now we're being attacked at home. It
pisses me off. Pisses me off just as much, if
not more, as my wife was right next to me
and her life was put at risk as well. So yeah,
I'm real pissed off about this. So I've been I
feel like I've been conducting my own investigation of sorts.
(05:57):
And I posted this on Twitter slash x not too
long ago. That is a position of Trump speaking at
the rally. And for our friends who are listening on iHeart,
look directly behind him. Do you see that building behind him?
That's where the shooter was. I don't know if you
(06:17):
can see them like curser on the screen, But for
my friends who were listening, here's President Trump, here's me
sitting right in the front row to the left of
this Secret Service agent, and the shooter was on this
building just behind. That's how close President Trump came to
losing his life. That's how close this assassin got to
(06:40):
President Trump without being interdicted without being stopped. It's simply
incomprehensible to me that something like this could happen. Now,
let me tell you, folks, what was going through my mind.
I want to reiterate some thoughts here that I had
in the moment under fire. And this is important because
(07:04):
many people have been asking me questions about this. Sean,
were they're two shooters? Sean, what about the water tower?
My first thoughts in the moment after I was getting
people down around me in the prone because I knew
immediately that it was a sniper. I knew immediately that
we were under fire, and my first instinct as a leader,
as a former combat leader light infantryple Tune leader, was
(07:26):
to figure out when you're under sniper fire, figure out
where the shooting was coming from, because once you figure
out where the shooting is coming from, you can make
a determination as to whether or not you can move
or not, and how best to use cover in concealment
to x fil And we had one entrance and exit
out of that place, and there were thirty thousand people
(07:48):
that were gonna need evacuated, so I knew I had
to come up with a plan, and the first step
in that plan was figuring out where the shooting came
from and right off the bat and you saw from
that picture you don't have to be a tactical genius
to understand this. Either building right that building right back there,
or the water tower. Now let me add this back
(08:10):
to the stage so you can see it. So you
see the building and you see the crane here on
the stage. So if you're listening, we are looking at
a picture of President Trump's speaking. If you're looking at
this or watching the rally on television, this picture is
taken to Trump's right as you were watching on television.
But really, if you were in President Trump's shoes looking
out at the audience, this is picture is taken on
(08:31):
his left hand side. But if you're looking at that
crane right there, the water tower is probably about one
hundred meters behind the water tower and to the right
in this picture. So I'm looking up right at the
building which I'm looking right here, sniper position here, in
water tower, sniper position there. So immediately I ascertained in
(08:53):
the moment where the potential shooter could be engaged us
from now whether or not there were two shooters, because
I've heard people talk about well, I'm convinced that there
were two shooters. And I have to tell you this, folks,
and this I'm not saying. I am not saying that
(09:16):
there were two shooters. I'm not saying that. But in
the moment I was completely operated under the assumption that
there were two shooters, because as I was looking for
firing positions, I looked at the building and the water
tower that were behind me, but I was also looking
over Trump's shoulder to the other side of him where
that picture was taken. There was a big piece of
(09:38):
construction equipment there, and I watched an hydraulic line snap
with smoke that rose in the air. Now that could
be from rounds from the initial shooter that ricocheted off
of something hit a hydraulic line. My thought in the
moment was there are probably two shooters, and if there
are two shooters and only ones down, that elevates the
risk for everybody. And in the moment, I had absolutely
(09:59):
no idea where the other shooter was. But I knew
that getting pinned down under fire with thirty thousand people
there just sitting ducks was probably not a good idea.
So I thought that we should evacuate and that we
should move with a sense of purpose, because if there
were two shooters out there here, let me give you
a sense of what the big picture was, what my
(10:19):
fear was. Typically in a situation like this, if you
make the determination that there are two shooters, that you
assume already if a shooter got that close to an
American president. If a shooter got that close, then it
(10:42):
also stands to reason that he had a plan, right,
that whatever it is he was doing required some pre planning.
If you got that close, probably be pretty sophisticated, because
up until that day, Secret Service, Premiere law, and r
mere protection agency in the world looked up to from
(11:03):
countries all around the world. So if he is in
that position, well then damn it, he must be good.
And if he's good, well then damn it. Maybe he
has something else helping him, and maybe he has a
larger plan. And so my thought is this is what
my thinking was. Okay, so just because this guy's neutralized,
if there's another shooter, well, they know at some point
we're going to be evacuating. If they've studied the rally layout,
(11:27):
then they know where the entrance and the exit is.
They know that they're going to be thirty thousand people
funneling towards that direction. Further, they know that there is
pretty much one, maybe two entrances and exits for cars.
So if the shooter had packed a car with explosives
or planted some improvised explosive device, he could wait wait
(11:51):
thirty forty minutes, even an hour after the initial attack
if there was somebody else out there. Even if the
first shooter is neutralized, if there's somebody else out there,
they just wait. Secret Service gets President Trump off site.
Police are moving and converging on one shooter. They're helping
casualty evacuation. They're clearly occupied. People get complacent, they start
walking out, they get in their cars, they're talking about
(12:14):
the moment. They can't believe it. They all start driving
out and boom, get hit with something else. That's where
my mind went. So I'm just trying to give you
a window into my mind of what was actually happening
in the moment. So I'm not saying that there were
two shooters, but I do know, and our local news
here in Pittsburgh, by the way, has done a fantastic
(12:35):
job reporting on a lot of this. But I do
know that a remote transmitter was found on the person
on the body of the would be assassin, potential explosives
in his car. By the way, this kid had no
explosives experience, because I mean, the FBI was able to
get into his phone go through his search history. Nothing
(12:57):
there about how to make bombs or anything else. Now,
listen that at a very I don't know how to
do that stuff. You know, I'm a tactician, I'm a
ground pounder, I'm a war fighter, I'm a door kicker,
an infantry willtoon leader, infantry officer. Making explosives is an
(13:17):
EOD thing, explosive ordnance disposal guy like, that's not something
that I specialized in. So you're not just gonna know
how to do that without doing research. And there was
nothing on this kid's phone that would indicate that he
did any research, at least at this point, nothing on
that kid's phone that would indicate that he had any
sort of prior knowledge of how to build explosives. Let
(13:44):
me show you, folks, how close President Trump came to
losing his life. You're listening, you were looking. First of all,
come over here to rumble, subscribe follow so you can
enjoy a better quality show. The visuals are important, but
look at this. This moment was captured on video by
(14:04):
somebody who was sitting directly behind me. But like, check
this out. I'm gonna play it again. This is President
Trump talking. Now. You heard me say, he turned his head,
looked at the screen. And that's how close he came
to losing his life. That's timed with the shots. Look
how close he came to losing his life. Now, folks,
(14:27):
that is a monumental failure, a tactical failure, the likes
of which I have not seen before. And listen, I
mean it, folks. I have never seen been a lot
of really really shitty, terrible situations Americans getting hurt, wounded,
sometimes killed on the battlefield. I've never experienced something so
(14:51):
negligent in my life. And it has me asking questions,
it really does. And I, in fact, I appreciate Corey
Mills getting out there and saying, we can't rule some
form of intentionality out, you know, we can't roll it out.
And people are all over this poor guy for simply
asking the question. It's absolutely ridiculous. But if you're actually
(15:13):
committed to doing a real investigation, a transparent investigation, that
question simply has to be on the table, does it not,
Because if you're to roll it out, it has to
be something that you look at, something that you evaluate,
something that you look into, and in a transparent investigation,
(15:33):
you can then turn to the American people and say, look,
we've looked into this. I don't see any indication that
there was that this was intentional. But the only way
that you can do that is by asking the question.
The only way that you can do that is by
looking into the facts and conducting a transparent investigation. And
(15:58):
what makes me so much more suspicious about all of
this is the fact that the media seems to be
going overboard with prohibiting conservatives from asking questions at all,
preferring instead to label us conspiracy theorists for daring to
think for ourselves and ask, if you think of the
(16:19):
whole picture here, folks, all of the hoaxes that were
foisted on the American people, the Russia Russia Russia hoax,
the PPTA pokes, the whole Spygates stuff, Impeachment one, impeachment two. Dictators.
He Trump's a dictator. He's a dictator. He's basically Hitler.
(16:40):
Every time you turn on Morning Joe. Every single time,
it's like, oh, trying a threat to our two hundred
and seventy year our democracy will come to an end.
And so how do you think the twisted mind of
some young radical leftist interprets that it creates a culture
(17:03):
of violence? You know, the left in this country, they
own political violence. They do, and I'm tired of acting
like it's not that big of a deal. Look at
what the left did the Steve Calice, Steve'scalice. Look at
what the left did to Ran Paul. Look at what
the left tried to do to Trump. Look at what
Antifa did in the Summer of Love. Cities all across
(17:25):
this country, try to burn them to the ground. These
leftists are rarely, if ever almost never held accountable for
the things that they do. And I'm tired of it.
And that's why I'm not I'm not buying into this
unity bullshit. I refuse all we need to unite. No, no,
(17:47):
we don't, actually like we don't. What we need to
do is work to defeat these people at the ballot
box and then make sure no Democrats, these radical, violent leftists,
we have to make sure that they don't win another
election ever again. Like, that's the level of commitment that
we need to approach this political fight with. And look,
(18:10):
the Dems have not turned down the volume on their
insane violence stoking rhetoric at all. This is Biden just
the other day. So just listen, just listen to the
comparison to the two bidens.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Trump seventy wins. There'll be a dictator on day one,
he means it. Folks.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I want to go back to this one issue though,
because the media has been focused on this and attacking you.
Under no circumstances. You are promising America tonight. You would
never abuse power as retribution against anybody except for day one,
except he's going christ except for day one. Meaning I
want to close the border and I want a drill.
(18:53):
That's not that's not retribution.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I'm going to be. I'm gonna be, you know, he
keeps I love this guy. He says, you're not going
to be a dictator, are you? I said no, no, No.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Other than day one, we're closing the border and were drilling, drilling, drilling.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
After that, I'm not a dating.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
That sounds to me like you're going back to the
policies when you're a president.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Trump is laughing there, he's making a joke. Biden knows that,
but it doesn't stop him from doubling down. This was
just a couple of days after Trump was almost assassinated.
This was at the r n C today. Check this
one out. Wait, there's a better quality video right here here.
Look at this. This is at the rn ditator on
(19:42):
day one hand. This is what the left does. They rarely,
rarely if ever own their violent rhetoric. Left Wing violence
is always excused, and I Am not having it anymore.
At some point, folks, at some point, our side simply
(20:08):
has to realize that, at some point, our side has
to draw a line in the sand. If an assassination
attempt against Trump is not that line is not the
point at which we say enough is enough, then what
the hell is? Because I'm serious, folks, These leftists will
(20:33):
not stop. They always call for unity in the wake
of horrific attacks like this from leftists, and once they
draw us in, they they betray us, and they're right
back at the violent rhetoric just like nothing happened at all,
and they're rarely if ever challenged by the media because
the media is in on it with him. Like listen
(20:54):
to Joe Biden's speech at the NAACP. So, first of all,
you're gonna listen to it. It's gonna kind of your
mind a little bit because he's an animated corpse and
he's barely there up here, But listen to his rhetoric.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They'll do everything, undo everything the NAACP stands for. But
now they're trying to deny it. They're lying about their
Project twenty twenty five. They want to deny your freedom,
the freedom to vote, have your v counted.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
They'd impose the nationwide band and abortion his new vice president.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Do you ever any doubt, man, Just take a look
what he's been saying. They want to prosecute political enemies.
They want to cut SOID security, Medicare, rip white protection,
and millions of press in conditions or four hundred million people,
stop Medicare from negotiating or for drug prices, risking people's lives,
(21:51):
costing the government more money. They'd eliminate the Department of Education. No,
you ought to read it, saying it's a state issue.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Give me a break to state. We know how well
we do with the states.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
They would cut school legends, eliminated start program for lower
income children, the low employees, to stop paying overtime, employers
to stop paying catch this one. Stop paying overtime to
hourly workers. They're such good people. But give the very
wealthy and big corporate in corporation is a new tax?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is that turning down the rhetoric? Everything that that corrupt
animated corpse, the cadaver in chief said was a complete
and total line. Everything that that guy said in that
clip that I showed you were all myths, lies, hoaxes.
If that's turning down the rhetoric, and if that's what
(22:57):
we've got to unify around, FU, I don't want that
you keep your unity because we're gonna steamroll you at
the ballot box. That's what's gonna happen. And that's what
Republican you know, that's what Republicans need. That's what they
need to rally around passion and righteous indignation that our president,
(23:19):
the presumptive Republican nominee, was almost assassinated. You know, it
makes me so mad that here we are less than
a week away from an assassination attempt against this man,
and the media is already trying to push us along
like almost forget about what happened. The way that they
reported on the aftermath of the assassination attempt was shameful.
(23:42):
Trump rushed off stage after loud noises. Absolutely ridiculous. I mean, look,
we have we have reports from Axios basically talk about
imagine if Trump apologize for getting for getting shot, like
things that things that Trump could do, things that Trump
(24:03):
could do to kind of heal the wounds in this nation. Again,
it just frustrates the hell out of me that we're
even here. I mean, check this out. Look this from Axios.
You see for our friends who are listening. But can
(24:25):
Trump do he could unify America. Imagine he gave a
speech featuring something he rarely shows, humility. This is a
couple of days after the guy got shot in the face.
Trump shows humility. Imagine him telling the nation that he's
been too rough, too loose, too combative with his language,
and now realizes words can have consequences and promises to
(24:49):
tone it down and bring new voices into the White
House if he wins. That psychopath is basically saying that
Donald Trump should have apologize for getting shot in the face.
This is what we're dealing with. It's time for conservatives
to say, f you listen folks, it's not just a
(25:13):
one off. Here's Seth Meyers blaming the assassination attempt. You're
supposed to be a comedian, by the way, but he's not.
Here's Seth Meyers blaming this assassination attempt on guns and
then basically blaming conservatives for blocking any solution. It's just
(25:34):
just absurd.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Listen, time, when things are bad, you are choosing to
make things worse. You are choosing to inflame the national
mood at a dangerous moment rather than show the leadership
and basic decency it would take to calm things down.
You should be ashamed. Please stop. You're also wrong. Engaging
in the work of democracy and peaceful persuasion is the
opposite of inciting violence. So what we need more of,
(25:57):
not less accurately described the dangers of autocracy and warning
against attempts to dismantle our democracy have nothing to do
with political violence. Speaking plainly about the specter of authoritarianism
is not only our democratic right, it's our civic duty.
We must all continue to do it. That's where we
will continue to do here on this show. We'll keep
talking about protecting democracy. We'll keep telling jokes, and for
(26:20):
no other reason then we already paid the license this
picture of Rudy Giuliani for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Yeah, you realize that our president,
a former president, or our president Donald Trump just got
shot in the face, right, I mean, you realize that
the whole theme of too many guns is the problem.
(26:49):
And hey, you gop asshole. Is like you're the ones
choosing to make things worse. It's kind of like blaming
a rape victim for the rape by saying that her
skirt was too short. I mean, it's absolutely insane. Is
this what you want to unify around? Folks? Hey, why
(27:11):
won't you guys make us stop shooting? You? Please make
us stop. The logic is insane and this comes as
an axios. A photo editor at a major news outlet
suggested that the media should bury a photo of Trump
raising his fist because it's quote kind of free pr
(27:34):
for Trump in a way, and it's dangerous for media
organizations to keep sharing that photo despite how good it is.
So to this news editor at a major news outlet,
this guy said that that photo an iconic photo of
(27:55):
Trump raising his fist after an assassination attempt, showcasing leadership.
Where the rubber met the road. The guy was under fire.
You have no idea. People have no idea how they'll
react under fire until it happens, and that includes people
with training. You have no idea how you'll react. President
(28:15):
Trump not just reacts the right way in that moment
to survive. He rises to the moment to show to
his people, the people with the rally America in the
world that it's I'm here and to fight. That image
will likely go down as one of the defining images
of this generation. I'm telling you it's that iconic. And
(28:37):
here you have a news editor, mere days after this
assassination attempt say that they should bury the photo. Despising
the media is not enough. These people are deliberately putting
this nation in danger. The people are telling lies, not
(29:05):
just lies, but lying to you all through omission. Here
is somebody, a news editor, admitting that they should bury
the Trump photo. They should just bury it outright, folks.
After January sixth, our government went after people with an
(29:28):
intensity not seen before in this nation's history. And here
we are three years later, and the Biden Department of
Justice is still arresting people even tangentially associated with it.
It's absolutely ridiculous, especially considering that January sixth is just
(29:52):
a mostly peaceful protest. The freaking lectern guy spent seventy
five days in prison. All he did was pick up
e lectern. He actually reached out to me last night.
It said he spent one hundred thousand dollars in Attorney
Spees spent seventy five days in prison, and he didn't
even take the damn lectern. He just moved it a
(30:13):
little bit. The Viking guy right he went to prison.
Isn't interesting that the Viking Guy was released after all
the January sixth footage was released to the public the
moment that that information was out there and not released
through the unselect January sixth Committee, the fake committee that
(30:34):
was put together by Nancy Pelosi to smear people who
dared go to a mostly peaceful protest that day. The
day after the January sixth footage, Viking Guy was released.
It's almost like his entire prison sentence was complete bullshit
to begin with. And now the United States President Donald
(30:55):
Trump is millimeters from death and the direct of the
United States Secret Services, like, you know, your concerns are noted.
I hear you. I really, I really do. But I
think I'll keep my job. Thanks. How it's just the
world that we live in. You would have your you'd
(31:18):
be fired, I'd be fired. Any other American be fired.
But if you're a part of the Biden administration, she's
likely to fail upwards, she's likely to receive a promotion
for this absolutely ridiculous. How do you want? I don't
want unity with people who do this stuff. I don't
(31:40):
want people. I don't want unity for people who had
a role in this. I don't want unity who people
with people who tried to dismiss the severity of this
assassination attempt. I don't want unity with people who try
to downplay this or attack in a sale the casualties
or god forbid, the man and his family who were killed.
I don't unity with those people. I want answers about
(32:04):
all this. I want a transparent investigation. I want accountability.
Damn it, period time out. I got a flag from
Aunt Cindy tat tone. You don't have to thank me.
Thank you for the Rumble rant tip. By the way,
one hundred percent of what we get here on Rumble
(32:24):
goes back into the studio and giving you all a
better quality show. But thank you. You don't have to
thank me for what happened on Saturday. Really, I mean
that you don't. I'm just thankful that God had me
there and that I could help in some small way.
I was a very small part of a lot of
(32:47):
patriots coming together to do some good for people. And
to me, that's what America is all about. You know
when you talk about fighting for America and why, that's
what you fight for right there. The people of this
country are what make America is just exceptional for the
most part, so almost all the people are worth fighting for.
(33:12):
But yeah, you don't have to thank me, but thank you.
Oh let me take a couple seconds while I have
you here, make sure you smash that like button, that
little green thumb beneath this video. Smash it. I think,
not yesterday's show, but the day before we were like
thirty seven on the leaderboard because of you. So thank
you for making this show a top fifty show in
(33:32):
the country. On Rumble, it's freaking pretty cool. Okay, did
you hear that? I mean talking about unifying with these
asclowns who run our government. I want nothing to do
with these people. Two Pittsburgh motorcycle cops who were assisting
with security at the Trump rally and injured by shrapnel
when an assassin fired on Trump were transferred away from
(33:53):
their unit as punishment. A local Pittsburgh news station WPXI
is reporting, So here you have police officers who ran
into the sound of gunfire, who put themselves in harm's way,
and they got fired for it. Now, do you remember
(34:17):
what we talk about on this show all the time
is the upside down world that we live in, that
criminals in America are evangelized while cops and other servants
of this country are demonized. Here these two officers should
be in a sane country, vaunted as heroes. There's video
(34:44):
out there of them evacuating the wounded. These people are heroes.
They should be celebrated as such, but instead they're fired.
You want unity with people like this that would fire
two heroic police officer simply for putting themselves in harm's
way and potentially saving lives. You want unity with people
(35:07):
who would do that, I sure as hell don't when
you think about it. Accountability has to come before unity.
It's a necessary step. I mean, this is this is
maybe a larger than life, an extreme example, but imagine
in the end of World War Two, where live America
is like, oh well, hey, look we beat the Nazis,
like all right, like we're let's get away from this
as fast as humanly possible, Like no, no, no accountability necessary,
(35:32):
you know, no Nuremberg trials. Let's just everybody get back
to their life, like before, there has to be accountability
before anybody can move on with any sense of unity.
We have not had any accountability yet. And and then like,
let me take it a step further. The left doesn't
want unity. They don't want it. They've already shown their
(35:55):
hand pushing hoaxes and lies, calling Trump an existential threat.
They're unrelenting with this. You cannot unite with this. This
doesn't get fixed by simply letting bygones be bygones. It doesn't.
(36:16):
But it does get fixed the American people coming together
being inspired by Donald Trump's actions on that stage and
Saturday and the things that he continues to do in
the wake of that horrific attack, or just inspiring. I
found and stumbled upon this footage of him arriving at
(36:39):
the hospital in Butler County and people are kind of
looking out the window like what's going on? There's a
motorcade there. They're not sure what's going on, but just
listen and watch this.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Who is that?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Sorry, you hear what I'm saying? Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Oh yeah, we're front row and my friends have black
coming out of his head.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
People, there is there is there, he is he's walking,
he's walking. Did you hear that? How many politicians do
you know? And I mean this, think of the politicians
in your lives and your districts. This is a national show.
How many politicians do you know that inspires people like that?
(38:00):
There are a couple out there in America. There's a
reason why I talk about Donald Trump and the movement
that he has behind him. There's a reason why I
talk about true leadership is about service. The idea that
you should sacrifice of yourself for others, the idea that
(38:23):
you should do good things for other people with no
expectation of receipt. That is what leadership is. And Donald Trump. Listen,
Whether you like Donald Trump or not, the man like
let's acknowledge a couple of facts here. The man is
(38:43):
a billionaire. He's wildly successful. Before he ran for president,
every celebrity loved this guy. Every crazy news anchor that's
now attacking him. Used to line up and kiss his
asses to get into his parties. All that changed, of course,
when he started running for resident and had an R
after his name. He has a supermodel wife, he's got
(39:06):
an amazing family, amazing kids, lives down at Marlago on
the beach. I mean, could be doing anything else, but
he's not. I mean, he's going through hell. And here's
the thing. The reason why he and he has loyalty
from people and inspires people is because people know it.
(39:28):
They know he could just ride off into the sunset
and live an awesome life in the Deep State, and
these shit live democrats with love nothing more. In fact,
that's why they're doing everything that they've done to him
over the last ten years to try to get him
to exit stage right. But he won't do that. And
(39:50):
people get it. People see it. They get the sense
that he is sacrificing for them. There's something Trump says, Hey,
look they're coming after you. I'm just standing in their way.
And on Saturday they did come after him. They almost
took his life. And I know, people laugh and it
(40:13):
kind of Hey, thank god the shooter wasn't a better shot. Well,
the truth is, if it wasn't for Donald Trump turning
his head just slightly at the exact moment, a bullet
was right. I mean, the timing is nothing short of
a miracle. The bullet was already in the air when
Trump turns his head, I mean turns his head and
(40:35):
it just misses him. He was hit on the first shot,
so yeah, I mean the shooter wasn't that bad of
a shot, right. But Donald Trump, he cultivates this sense
of loyalty because the people know that he really cares.
(40:57):
It's not a game for him. He's not using people again.
He could ride off into the sunset. He's not doing that.
He's risking everything now, up to including his life, to
do this. You hear people in that hospital just emotional saying,
oh my god, he's on his feet. Thank god. You know, folks,
(41:20):
we're living through something that is extraordinarily special. You know,
leaders like this don't come along often. They don't. I mean,
I can count on one hand the you know, truly
great and influential leaders that I've had in my life.
They're rare, they really really are. Because leadership is about service.
(41:45):
There are far too many people that think leadership is
all about them. Hey, look at me, I'm in charge.
I got power. I can tell you what to do. Hey,
just go do this, go get it done. I don't
give it like you know, maybe sometimes you got to
say that, But ninety percent of the time is taking
the power that's bestowed on you and investing it in
the people under your command or your charge. And people
(42:07):
feel empowered under Donald Trump, and certainly they their lives
were better when he was president. But what's so frustrating
to me about so much is this the lack of
accountability at the core of all this. You know, the
United States Secret Service Director. And by the way, I
(42:28):
will not allow the United States Secret Service Director or
majorcas or any of these feds. I will not let
them blame local law enforcement for this. I won't the
local law enforcement. I know because I've talked to sources
that I have on that were on the ground. Do
(42:49):
you know what they were tasked with that day? Traffic enforcement?
You know, they had a SWAT team on site for responses, right,
But the assumption was that the Secret Service had perimeters
set up that the Secret Service cleared the event, that
the Secret Service had buildings on lockdown, so the local
(43:10):
cops in many ways were reacting just like many other
rally goers. I just refuse to blame the local police. Again.
Maybe you're listening to the show for the first time
or watching the show for the first time, But when
have you ever heard of the FEDS coming into a
local area and relinquishing tactical control of a mission. Never happens. Ever,
(43:32):
it never happens, especially when the life of a president
or former president is on the line. It does not happen.
You should not buy the US Secret Service narrative that well,
it was the locals fault, but you're not going to
have any accountability out of the Biden administration because it's
almost as if Mayorkist and the director of the Secret
(43:54):
Service are doing exactly what the Biden administration wants, and
what we perceive is fail is actually moving the needle
for them. But listen to may Orcus after the assassination
attempt on that.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
Does do you does the President have confidence in the
Secret Service director after Saturday's failures?
Speaker 7 (44:13):
I have one confidence in the director of the United
States State Secret Service. I have one hundred percent confidence
in the United States Secret Service. And what you saw
on stage on Saturday, with respect to individuals putting their
own lives at risk for the protection of another is
exactly what the American public should see every single day.
(44:34):
It is what I indeed do.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
The Secret Service was in full tactical command. And look
the agents on the ground, the agents that rushed the president,
you know, they put their bodies over the president risk
to take a bullet. I'm not I mean talking about them.
I'm not talking about the agents on the ground. I
mean everyone's given this woman agent, it's like a hard time.
I get it, she's she's short, the president's tall. But
(44:59):
you know what, like, I don't know the training that
she received the Biden administration is a shit show. I
don't even know if she was a Secret Service agent,
she could have very well been a Department of Homeland
Security agent, very different missions. So I mean, I'm just
saying that those Secret Service agents in the moment comported
themselves with honor. They put themselves in harmon way. I'm
not talking about them. And I sure as hell will
(45:22):
not let these political leaders or these FEDS blame the
local police. I won't. I won't do it because it's bullshit,
it's a lie, and I hate I effing hate liars.
I hate it, I hate Republican liars, and I hate
Democrat liars. I won't let it happen. But the Director
(45:43):
of the Secret Service, rumors were swirling that she had diminished,
deliberately so diminished Donald Trump's protection. And the rumor on
the street was that the Biden administration, while they weren't
saying and denying, hey, we're not going to will allow
you to plus up your Secret Service protection, they were
just throwing up bureaucratic roadblocks, you know, because they didn't
(46:07):
want the negative press of denying President Trump a Secret
Service detail. They were just throwing up bureaucratic roadblocks making
it more difficult. Listen to this interview with the Director
of the Secret Service, does this sound like she did
everything necessary to protect President Trump? Listen?
Speaker 8 (46:24):
Was every element, every part of his from the intelligence
to the counter assault team, to the detail agents, the
shift agents, I mean every element top to bottom of
the advance in the operation. Was every element increased after
you learned of this credible threat.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
What we increased was what we felt was appropriate for
the former president and for that particular event on that day.
We have been increasing the assets and the resources and
the staffing that we have been providing to the former
president since he was a presidential candidate and then the
presumptive nominated. That's what I can tell you.
Speaker 8 (46:56):
That sounds like a no.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I am not saying I know at all I say,
And we have continued to increase the resources.
Speaker 6 (47:02):
That we've been providing.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
It definitely sounded like a no. We did, we did
what we thought was appropriate. Well, what you thought was
appropriate almost got a former president and future president killed. Absolutely,
they've been trying to screw Trump over. Absolutely, they're not
plussing them up on Secret Service. There's God. The Biden
(47:27):
administration denied RFK secret Service protection. For God's sake. Rfk's
father and his uncle were assassinated. That should tell you
everything you need to know. And so again that's a lie.
I hate liars. Liars make me sick to my stomach.
(47:47):
This is another lie from the Director of Secret Service.
Speaker 9 (47:50):
Listen, when you saw the events unfold on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Shock and then concern, obviously for the former president.
Speaker 9 (47:58):
Investigators now trying to determined where the roof access had
been properly locked down. Is she do climbing up seemingly
unimpeded about four hundred feet from the stage with a
direct line of sight on the former president.
Speaker 10 (48:11):
Should that roof have been secure?
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Period?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
That building in particular has a sloped roof at its
highest point, and so you know there's a safety factor
that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to
put somebody up on a sloped roof.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
And so are you freaking? I mean, honestly, I hear
her say that I saw a video of a cow
somehow on a farm that climbed up on a roof
with a steeper slope than the one that was there
on site that day. Does she honestly think that the
American people are that stupid? Again, that is a lie.
Liars pissed me off. We almost lost an American president.
(48:48):
We did lose someone from my home state and had
several others wounded. And damn it, that's unacceptable to me.
Stop lying. Just tell the truth. It would have listened
to me, It would have been I would have been.
I would be less angry if if she just got
up there and said, you know what, we were supposed
(49:10):
to have that building on lockdown and two of my
secret Service agents went to grab cups of coffee and
at that exact moment. I mean, like I could wrap
my mind around that more as unacceptable as that is,
I could wrap my mind around that more than that.
Well with a rufouses too slow, too dangerous? Are you
did see why lies get me angry? And Sean Davis
(49:34):
of the Federalist who is who is great? He's just great,
he said. Biden's Secret Service director is not going to
resign because she did exactly what the regime expected her
to do. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayyorcus is not
going to resign because he did exactly what the regime
(49:55):
expected him to do. And Biden isn't going to fire
any of them because he's not actually in charge, and
also because they did exactly what they were expected to do.
Sean Davis is exactly right, exactly right. And so think
(50:19):
about the long list of people who haven't resigned. Millie
didn't resign after the Afghan withdrawal. How about Lloyd Austin,
the Secretary of Defense. He didn't resign after the Afghan withdrawal.
I mean there's been there have been. How about may
Orcus border overwhelmed, not following the law, violating his oath
to the Constitution. Ten point five million illegals and that's
(50:41):
just the ones that we know about invading this country
every day. He didn't resign. I mean, the list goes
on and on. There's no accountability because they're doing exactly
what the Biden administration wants them to do. They don't
live in the same world that we do. We want
to save America, we want to preserve America for our children.
These people that I just lifted listed they're on board
(51:03):
with radical leftist fundamental transformation of America and they're doing
their job and therefore will not resign because they're doing
what they the Biden administration or the people behind the curtain,
they're doing what they want them to do. So talking
about the local police, and I don't I refuse to
(51:24):
let the FEDS blame the local police department for this.
I saw this interview with a cop who is on
the ground from a local to police department, and I
think you really should should hear this. Listen, an individual
on the roof with a weapon, he'sa on a shooter.
Speaker 6 (51:41):
He did your officers are on patrol, they hear that
there is a suspicious person on the rooftop. What did
your officers do so.
Speaker 10 (51:48):
Our officers in the area started to converge on the
building by understanding is they did a full perimeter walk
of the building, weren't able to see up on the roof.
Two of the officers went to what appeared to be
the lowest point from ground to roof. One of the
officers actually boosted the second officer up high enough for
him to grab hold of the roof. When he was
able to pull his head up over the roof, he did,
(52:10):
in fact see an individual on the roof with a weapon.
Speaker 6 (52:14):
He saw the shooter, he did, and what did the
shooter do?
Speaker 10 (52:17):
Turned towards him, had the barrel of his weapon pointed
at the officer at.
Speaker 6 (52:21):
That point the officers hanging on to the side of
the roof, Yes, unable.
Speaker 10 (52:26):
To pull a gun out, unable to.
Speaker 6 (52:28):
Unable to defend himself, unable to reach his.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
Radio, any of that.
Speaker 10 (52:32):
Yeah, Yeah, strictly defensive movement for him to lower his head.
Duck lost his own grip right, fell approximately eight feet
to the ground.
Speaker 9 (52:42):
It's a steep drop.
Speaker 10 (52:43):
It's a good drop.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (52:44):
Did he get hurt?
Speaker 10 (52:44):
He did?
Speaker 6 (52:45):
In that moment. Did they realize there's a threat right
now to the former president.
Speaker 10 (52:49):
They did, so, both the boosting officer and the officer
that fell were both on the radio indicating that there
was an individual on the roof that did in fact
have a weapon.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Who did they raise?
Speaker 7 (53:00):
You?
Speaker 10 (53:00):
So there was a blanket tactical channel, and everyone that
was on that tackle channel heard it.
Speaker 6 (53:07):
Yes, how much time between that radio communication and the
gun being fired at the former president?
Speaker 10 (53:14):
That I don't I don't have that information?
Speaker 1 (53:17):
That is why. Well, first of all, you just all
needed to hear that, But that's a critical piece of information.
The local cops get the call or they hear from
people that somebody's up there, they start investigating. Pops himself
up there, he's hanging from a roof in a compromised position,
Drops falls, makes the call, there's somebody on the roof.
(53:39):
On the tactical channel that goes out to everybody. How
much time between that call and the shots fired? We
need to know that information. We must have that information.
And what I can't get my mind again, just unbelievable
(54:02):
cataclysmic negligence. It's the only word I got for it, folks,
You know I negligence doesn't do adjustice. I get it.
But why was Trump allowed to go on that stage
in the first place if they knew there was a
(54:24):
man on the building with a rifle who had just
threatened police. When we knew that at least twenty six minutes,
and now I'm hearing reports of three hours, we knew
that the police in the Secret Service knew of this
would be assassined twenty six minutes at least up to
three three hours prior. How could you let President Trump
(54:50):
go on the stage knowing that that threat was out
there whereabouts unknown? Doesn't it make more sense just to
keep President Trump backstage until you can neutralize or get
the threat on lockdown. I'm not a Secret Service guy.
I'm a ground pounding, door kicking light infantrymen. But like
(55:11):
this is common sense. There's a thread out there, he
might be armed. Let's not send the protectee out there
to the podium until we find him, until we neutralize
the threat. Then once we have the threat neutralized, yeah,
we'll send president. But they didn't do that, folks. Not
(55:34):
only did they not do that, the building, the building
that President Trump was on was completely wide open. I
mean it was completely direct line of sight. Look, look
(55:58):
that's the building the sniper's probably right around here. I'm
right here. It's just incomprehensible to me. Yeah, folks, I
don't know how this happened, and I'm sure that in
the coming weeks we will learn more. But one of
(56:22):
the things that I think has dawned on the Biden
administration is that a Trump next Trump administration is very
very likely. In fact, I've heard rumblings inside the Biden
White House from well placed sources that the Biden staff
are hopeless, that they've resigned themselves to a second Trump term.
We don't believe that we campaign like we're ten points
(56:43):
down right that I'm just telling you what I'm hearing.
So this explains Biden putting forth these a couple of
different radical plans, one of which is to term limit
Scotus Supreme Court justices. Right who, if Trump wins, it's
probably going to get to Supreme Court justices, which would
stack the court with conservatives for years. Well, Biden introduces
(57:07):
term limits and somehow gets this insane bullshit passed and
some code of ethics somehow put stuff like this in place.
Kind of sets the tone and again makes it more
of a pain in the ass for President Trump when
he comes in. I'm not saying Biden's gonna be able
to execute get that stuff done, but it's going to
be stuff that Trump has to get it dedicate time
to undoing. I've seen reports of Biden trying to do
(57:31):
everything they can to get rid of presidential immunity. Why
because they prepping for another Trump term. Maybe after he's
done with his second term, they can go after him
for things that failed that they failed going after him
for after his first So who knows, Folks, We will
keep our ear to the ground on all of this.

good night, See you tomorrow. Battle Crue
Morning, you're about to enter the arena and join the
battle to save America with your host, Sean Parnell. Folks,
I am angry. I am real damn angry.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Last night I was sitting there having a drink with
my amazing wife, Commander Melanie, and we were talking about
you guessed at the rally on Saturday. You know, for
those of you all who are just joining us or
maybe late to the punch on Battleground Live. My name
is Sean Parnell. I'm the host of this amazing show.
It's a show that is and will always be for you,
(00:38):
for the people, for the grassroots. I'm a combat vet,
best selling author, humble servant of this country. My wife
and I were at the rally on Saturday. We've been
close with the Trump since we ran for Congress in
twenty twenty. They're an amazing family. But we were talking
about the rally, and as my life was talking to
(01:01):
me about stuff, I just got so damn angry because
as this is going on, the Republican National Convention is
happening in the background, and I just this year for
what I appreciate that they're doing it. I respect why
they're doing it. I understand the importance of it, but
(01:23):
I just can't get into it. I just can't. And now,
guess is coming from someone who has spoken in prime
time on opening night of the Republican National Convention in
twenty twenty with Donald Trump at the top of the ticket.
So again, believe me, I understand the importance of it,
but after what happened on Saturday, nothing else really matters
(01:48):
to my man. I know that might sound maybe maybe
you all are listening thinking that that sounds shortsighted. Maybe
you all are thinking, well, you know, hey, it's time
to move on, folks. I just can't move on. I cannot.
I'm Pennsylvania, fourth generation, my state, and the people at
that rally were attacked on Saturday. People were wounded, one
(02:14):
man was killed. President Trump came within millimeters of losing
his life, and I'm going to show you just how
close he came to losing his life. But I'm pissed
because I hear all this talk of unity. Now, if
we're talking unity in the Republican Party, great, we need
every damn person in this boat rowing in the same direction.
(02:38):
We need every person that wants to save this country
in the trenches fighting together, standing in formation, fighting to
save America. We need that, we need that unity. But
I refuse to unite with leftists who want to destroy
this country. I refuse to unite with leftists who are
(03:01):
cheering and mocking the assassination attempt on President Trump, in
an attack that killed and wounded my fellow Pennsylvanians. I
refuse to unite around leftist values or fight with the
rules as they set them on the political battlefield. As
(03:21):
I said many times before on this show and several
times since the rally on Saturday, there's already talk from
mainstream media of cooling of the rhetoric. We need to
take things down a notch. Every single time some leftist
psychopath attacks conservatives and god forbid, they're hurt, sometimes seriously
or killed, leftist media is like, we need to tamp
(03:44):
down the rhetoric. We just we just got to dial
it back. Conservatives, will you join us in dialing back
the rhetoric by listen, We're not the ones that contribute
to it, We're on the receiving end of it. So yes,
while unity in our movement is important, I refuse to
extend an olive branch to our political foes. I refuse
(04:07):
to do it. And the reason why I refuse to
do it is because they're offerings of unity and peace
are lip service. They're fake. They will draw us in,
they will get us to stop the movement forward, and
(04:27):
then they once were stopped and our momentum has stopped,
they will resume the Trump's a dictator narrative and all
Conservatives are Nazis. And guess what, folks, I ain't playing
that game. You know, there's been no transparency on this
interview for the United States Secret Service, none, none, whatsoever.
(04:48):
In fact, Alejandro Majorca has canceled any sort of real
investigation committee investigation in the United States House of Representatives.
It's all a complete and total sham, zero TRANSPARENCYEAH have
zero hero of faith and the result of what that
investigation would bring as well, especially if it's the FBI
conducting it. Now. I want to show you because I've
(05:12):
been posting these images because again I was there. I
was twenty feet from President Trump when he was almost killed.
I was probably ten or fifteen feet away from the
people who were wounded, who were sitting just behind my
wife and I And I'll tell you another thing. You know,
piss me off. You put my fellow Pennsylvanians or Americans
in the crosshairs. So I went to fight and defend
(05:33):
this country on foreign battlefields to protect the people of
this great country. Now we're being attacked at home. It
pisses me off. Pisses me off just as much, if
not more, as my wife was right next to me
and her life was put at risk as well. So yeah,
I'm real pissed off about this. So I've been I
feel like I've been conducting my own investigation of sorts.
(05:57):
And I posted this on Twitter slash x not too
long ago. That is a position of Trump speaking at
the rally. And for our friends who are listening on iHeart,
look directly behind him. Do you see that building behind him?
That's where the shooter was. I don't know if you
(06:17):
can see them like curser on the screen, But for
my friends who were listening, here's President Trump, here's me
sitting right in the front row to the left of
this Secret Service agent, and the shooter was on this
building just behind. That's how close President Trump came to
losing his life. That's how close this assassin got to
(06:40):
President Trump without being interdicted without being stopped. It's simply
incomprehensible to me that something like this could happen. Now,
let me tell you, folks, what was going through my mind.
I want to reiterate some thoughts here that I had
in the moment under fire. And this is important because
(07:04):
many people have been asking me questions about this. Sean,
were they're two shooters? Sean, what about the water tower?
My first thoughts in the moment after I was getting
people down around me in the prone because I knew
immediately that it was a sniper. I knew immediately that
we were under fire, and my first instinct as a leader,
as a former combat leader light infantryple Tune leader, was
(07:26):
to figure out when you're under sniper fire, figure out
where the shooting was coming from, because once you figure
out where the shooting is coming from, you can make
a determination as to whether or not you can move
or not, and how best to use cover in concealment
to x fil And we had one entrance and exit
out of that place, and there were thirty thousand people
(07:48):
that were gonna need evacuated, so I knew I had
to come up with a plan, and the first step
in that plan was figuring out where the shooting came
from and right off the bat and you saw from
that picture you don't have to be a tactical genius
to understand this. Either building right that building right back there,
or the water tower. Now let me add this back
(08:10):
to the stage so you can see it. So you
see the building and you see the crane here on
the stage. So if you're listening, we are looking at
a picture of President Trump's speaking. If you're looking at
this or watching the rally on television, this picture is
taken to Trump's right as you were watching on television.
But really, if you were in President Trump's shoes looking
out at the audience, this is picture is taken on
(08:31):
his left hand side. But if you're looking at that
crane right there, the water tower is probably about one
hundred meters behind the water tower and to the right
in this picture. So I'm looking up right at the
building which I'm looking right here, sniper position here, in
water tower, sniper position there. So immediately I ascertained in
(08:53):
the moment where the potential shooter could be engaged us
from now whether or not there were two shooters, because
I've heard people talk about well, I'm convinced that there
were two shooters. And I have to tell you this, folks,
and this I'm not saying. I am not saying that
(09:16):
there were two shooters. I'm not saying that. But in
the moment I was completely operated under the assumption that
there were two shooters, because as I was looking for
firing positions, I looked at the building and the water
tower that were behind me, but I was also looking
over Trump's shoulder to the other side of him where
that picture was taken. There was a big piece of
(09:38):
construction equipment there, and I watched an hydraulic line snap
with smoke that rose in the air. Now that could
be from rounds from the initial shooter that ricocheted off
of something hit a hydraulic line. My thought in the
moment was there are probably two shooters, and if there
are two shooters and only ones down, that elevates the
risk for everybody. And in the moment, I had absolutely
(09:59):
no idea where the other shooter was. But I knew
that getting pinned down under fire with thirty thousand people
there just sitting ducks was probably not a good idea.
So I thought that we should evacuate and that we
should move with a sense of purpose, because if there
were two shooters out there here, let me give you
a sense of what the big picture was, what my
(10:19):
fear was. Typically in a situation like this, if you
make the determination that there are two shooters, that you
assume already if a shooter got that close to an
American president. If a shooter got that close, then it
(10:42):
also stands to reason that he had a plan, right,
that whatever it is he was doing required some pre planning.
If you got that close, probably be pretty sophisticated, because
up until that day, Secret Service, Premiere law, and r
mere protection agency in the world looked up to from
(11:03):
countries all around the world. So if he is in
that position, well then damn it, he must be good.
And if he's good, well then damn it. Maybe he
has something else helping him, and maybe he has a
larger plan. And so my thought is this is what
my thinking was. Okay, so just because this guy's neutralized,
if there's another shooter, well, they know at some point
we're going to be evacuating. If they've studied the rally layout,
(11:27):
then they know where the entrance and the exit is.
They know that they're going to be thirty thousand people
funneling towards that direction. Further, they know that there is
pretty much one, maybe two entrances and exits for cars.
So if the shooter had packed a car with explosives
or planted some improvised explosive device, he could wait wait
(11:51):
thirty forty minutes, even an hour after the initial attack
if there was somebody else out there. Even if the
first shooter is neutralized, if there's somebody else out there,
they just wait. Secret Service gets President Trump off site.
Police are moving and converging on one shooter. They're helping
casualty evacuation. They're clearly occupied. People get complacent, they start
walking out, they get in their cars, they're talking about
(12:14):
the moment. They can't believe it. They all start driving
out and boom, get hit with something else. That's where
my mind went. So I'm just trying to give you
a window into my mind of what was actually happening
in the moment. So I'm not saying that there were
two shooters, but I do know, and our local news
here in Pittsburgh, by the way, has done a fantastic
(12:35):
job reporting on a lot of this. But I do
know that a remote transmitter was found on the person
on the body of the would be assassin, potential explosives
in his car. By the way, this kid had no
explosives experience, because I mean, the FBI was able to
get into his phone go through his search history. Nothing
(12:57):
there about how to make bombs or anything else. Now,
listen that at a very I don't know how to
do that stuff. You know, I'm a tactician, I'm a
ground pounder, I'm a war fighter, I'm a door kicker,
an infantry willtoon leader, infantry officer. Making explosives is an
(13:17):
EOD thing, explosive ordnance disposal guy like, that's not something
that I specialized in. So you're not just gonna know
how to do that without doing research. And there was
nothing on this kid's phone that would indicate that he
did any research, at least at this point, nothing on
that kid's phone that would indicate that he had any
sort of prior knowledge of how to build explosives. Let
(13:44):
me show you, folks, how close President Trump came to
losing his life. You're listening, you were looking. First of all,
come over here to rumble, subscribe follow so you can
enjoy a better quality show. The visuals are important, but
look at this. This moment was captured on video by
(14:04):
somebody who was sitting directly behind me. But like, check
this out. I'm gonna play it again. This is President
Trump talking. Now. You heard me say, he turned his head,
looked at the screen. And that's how close he came
to losing his life. That's timed with the shots. Look
how close he came to losing his life. Now, folks,
(14:27):
that is a monumental failure, a tactical failure, the likes
of which I have not seen before. And listen, I
mean it, folks. I have never seen been a lot
of really really shitty, terrible situations Americans getting hurt, wounded,
sometimes killed on the battlefield. I've never experienced something so
(14:51):
negligent in my life. And it has me asking questions,
it really does. And I, in fact, I appreciate Corey
Mills getting out there and saying, we can't rule some
form of intentionality out, you know, we can't roll it out.
And people are all over this poor guy for simply
asking the question. It's absolutely ridiculous. But if you're actually
(15:13):
committed to doing a real investigation, a transparent investigation, that
question simply has to be on the table, does it not,
Because if you're to roll it out, it has to
be something that you look at, something that you evaluate,
something that you look into, and in a transparent investigation,
(15:33):
you can then turn to the American people and say, look,
we've looked into this. I don't see any indication that
there was that this was intentional. But the only way
that you can do that is by asking the question.
The only way that you can do that is by
looking into the facts and conducting a transparent investigation. And
(15:58):
what makes me so much more suspicious about all of
this is the fact that the media seems to be
going overboard with prohibiting conservatives from asking questions at all,
preferring instead to label us conspiracy theorists for daring to
think for ourselves and ask, if you think of the
(16:19):
whole picture here, folks, all of the hoaxes that were
foisted on the American people, the Russia Russia Russia hoax,
the PPTA pokes, the whole Spygates stuff, Impeachment one, impeachment two. Dictators.
He Trump's a dictator. He's a dictator. He's basically Hitler.
(16:40):
Every time you turn on Morning Joe. Every single time,
it's like, oh, trying a threat to our two hundred
and seventy year our democracy will come to an end.
And so how do you think the twisted mind of
some young radical leftist interprets that it creates a culture
(17:03):
of violence? You know, the left in this country, they
own political violence. They do, and I'm tired of acting
like it's not that big of a deal. Look at
what the left did the Steve Calice, Steve'scalice. Look at
what the left did to Ran Paul. Look at what
the left tried to do to Trump. Look at what
Antifa did in the Summer of Love. Cities all across
(17:25):
this country, try to burn them to the ground. These
leftists are rarely, if ever almost never held accountable for
the things that they do. And I'm tired of it.
And that's why I'm not I'm not buying into this
unity bullshit. I refuse all we need to unite. No, no,
(17:47):
we don't, actually like we don't. What we need to
do is work to defeat these people at the ballot
box and then make sure no Democrats, these radical, violent leftists,
we have to make sure that they don't win another
election ever again. Like, that's the level of commitment that
we need to approach this political fight with. And look,
(18:10):
the Dems have not turned down the volume on their
insane violence stoking rhetoric at all. This is Biden just
the other day. So just listen, just listen to the
comparison to the two bidens.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Trump seventy wins. There'll be a dictator on day one,
he means it. Folks.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I want to go back to this one issue though,
because the media has been focused on this and attacking you.
Under no circumstances. You are promising America tonight. You would
never abuse power as retribution against anybody except for day one,
except he's going christ except for day one. Meaning I
want to close the border and I want a drill.
(18:53):
That's not that's not retribution.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I'm going to be. I'm gonna be, you know, he
keeps I love this guy. He says, you're not going
to be a dictator, are you? I said no, no, No.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Other than day one, we're closing the border and were drilling, drilling, drilling.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
After that, I'm not a dating.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
That sounds to me like you're going back to the
policies when you're a president.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Trump is laughing there, he's making a joke. Biden knows that,
but it doesn't stop him from doubling down. This was
just a couple of days after Trump was almost assassinated.
This was at the r n C today. Check this
one out. Wait, there's a better quality video right here here.
Look at this. This is at the rn ditator on
(19:42):
day one hand. This is what the left does. They rarely,
rarely if ever own their violent rhetoric. Left Wing violence
is always excused, and I Am not having it anymore.
At some point, folks, at some point, our side simply
(20:08):
has to realize that, at some point, our side has
to draw a line in the sand. If an assassination
attempt against Trump is not that line is not the
point at which we say enough is enough, then what
the hell is? Because I'm serious, folks, These leftists will
(20:33):
not stop. They always call for unity in the wake
of horrific attacks like this from leftists, and once they
draw us in, they they betray us, and they're right
back at the violent rhetoric just like nothing happened at all,
and they're rarely if ever challenged by the media because
the media is in on it with him. Like listen
(20:54):
to Joe Biden's speech at the NAACP. So, first of all,
you're gonna listen to it. It's gonna kind of your
mind a little bit because he's an animated corpse and
he's barely there up here, But listen to his rhetoric.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They'll do everything, undo everything the NAACP stands for. But
now they're trying to deny it. They're lying about their
Project twenty twenty five. They want to deny your freedom,
the freedom to vote, have your v counted.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
They'd impose the nationwide band and abortion his new vice president.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Do you ever any doubt, man, Just take a look
what he's been saying. They want to prosecute political enemies.
They want to cut SOID security, Medicare, rip white protection,
and millions of press in conditions or four hundred million people,
stop Medicare from negotiating or for drug prices, risking people's lives,
(21:51):
costing the government more money. They'd eliminate the Department of Education. No,
you ought to read it, saying it's a state issue.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Give me a break to state. We know how well
we do with the states.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
They would cut school legends, eliminated start program for lower
income children, the low employees, to stop paying overtime, employers
to stop paying catch this one. Stop paying overtime to
hourly workers. They're such good people. But give the very
wealthy and big corporate in corporation is a new tax?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is that turning down the rhetoric? Everything that that corrupt
animated corpse, the cadaver in chief said was a complete
and total line. Everything that that guy said in that
clip that I showed you were all myths, lies, hoaxes.
If that's turning down the rhetoric, and if that's what
(22:57):
we've got to unify around, FU, I don't want that
you keep your unity because we're gonna steamroll you at
the ballot box. That's what's gonna happen. And that's what
Republican you know, that's what Republicans need. That's what they
need to rally around passion and righteous indignation that our president,
(23:19):
the presumptive Republican nominee, was almost assassinated. You know, it
makes me so mad that here we are less than
a week away from an assassination attempt against this man,
and the media is already trying to push us along
like almost forget about what happened. The way that they
reported on the aftermath of the assassination attempt was shameful.
(23:42):
Trump rushed off stage after loud noises. Absolutely ridiculous. I mean, look,
we have we have reports from Axios basically talk about
imagine if Trump apologize for getting for getting shot, like
things that things that Trump could do, things that Trump
(24:03):
could do to kind of heal the wounds in this nation. Again,
it just frustrates the hell out of me that we're
even here. I mean, check this out. Look this from Axios.
You see for our friends who are listening. But can
(24:25):
Trump do he could unify America. Imagine he gave a
speech featuring something he rarely shows, humility. This is a
couple of days after the guy got shot in the face.
Trump shows humility. Imagine him telling the nation that he's
been too rough, too loose, too combative with his language,
and now realizes words can have consequences and promises to
(24:49):
tone it down and bring new voices into the White
House if he wins. That psychopath is basically saying that
Donald Trump should have apologize for getting shot in the face.
This is what we're dealing with. It's time for conservatives
to say, f you listen folks, it's not just a
(25:13):
one off. Here's Seth Meyers blaming the assassination attempt. You're
supposed to be a comedian, by the way, but he's not.
Here's Seth Meyers blaming this assassination attempt on guns and
then basically blaming conservatives for blocking any solution. It's just
(25:34):
just absurd.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Listen, time, when things are bad, you are choosing to
make things worse. You are choosing to inflame the national
mood at a dangerous moment rather than show the leadership
and basic decency it would take to calm things down.
You should be ashamed. Please stop. You're also wrong. Engaging
in the work of democracy and peaceful persuasion is the
opposite of inciting violence. So what we need more of,
(25:57):
not less accurately described the dangers of autocracy and warning
against attempts to dismantle our democracy have nothing to do
with political violence. Speaking plainly about the specter of authoritarianism
is not only our democratic right, it's our civic duty.
We must all continue to do it. That's where we
will continue to do here on this show. We'll keep
talking about protecting democracy. We'll keep telling jokes, and for
(26:20):
no other reason then we already paid the license this
picture of Rudy Giuliani for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Yeah, you realize that our president,
a former president, or our president Donald Trump just got
shot in the face, right, I mean, you realize that
the whole theme of too many guns is the problem.
(26:49):
And hey, you gop asshole. Is like you're the ones
choosing to make things worse. It's kind of like blaming
a rape victim for the rape by saying that her
skirt was too short. I mean, it's absolutely insane. Is
this what you want to unify around? Folks? Hey, why
(27:11):
won't you guys make us stop shooting? You? Please make
us stop. The logic is insane and this comes as
an axios. A photo editor at a major news outlet
suggested that the media should bury a photo of Trump
raising his fist because it's quote kind of free pr
(27:34):
for Trump in a way, and it's dangerous for media
organizations to keep sharing that photo despite how good it is.
So to this news editor at a major news outlet,
this guy said that that photo an iconic photo of
(27:55):
Trump raising his fist after an assassination attempt, showcasing leadership.
Where the rubber met the road. The guy was under fire.
You have no idea. People have no idea how they'll
react under fire until it happens, and that includes people
with training. You have no idea how you'll react. President
(28:15):
Trump not just reacts the right way in that moment
to survive. He rises to the moment to show to
his people, the people with the rally America in the
world that it's I'm here and to fight. That image
will likely go down as one of the defining images
of this generation. I'm telling you it's that iconic. And
(28:37):
here you have a news editor, mere days after this
assassination attempt say that they should bury the photo. Despising
the media is not enough. These people are deliberately putting
this nation in danger. The people are telling lies, not
(29:05):
just lies, but lying to you all through omission. Here
is somebody, a news editor, admitting that they should bury
the Trump photo. They should just bury it outright, folks.
After January sixth, our government went after people with an
(29:28):
intensity not seen before in this nation's history. And here
we are three years later, and the Biden Department of
Justice is still arresting people even tangentially associated with it.
It's absolutely ridiculous, especially considering that January sixth is just
(29:52):
a mostly peaceful protest. The freaking lectern guy spent seventy
five days in prison. All he did was pick up
e lectern. He actually reached out to me last night.
It said he spent one hundred thousand dollars in Attorney
Spees spent seventy five days in prison, and he didn't
even take the damn lectern. He just moved it a
(30:13):
little bit. The Viking guy right he went to prison.
Isn't interesting that the Viking Guy was released after all
the January sixth footage was released to the public the
moment that that information was out there and not released
through the unselect January sixth Committee, the fake committee that
(30:34):
was put together by Nancy Pelosi to smear people who
dared go to a mostly peaceful protest that day. The
day after the January sixth footage, Viking Guy was released.
It's almost like his entire prison sentence was complete bullshit
to begin with. And now the United States President Donald
(30:55):
Trump is millimeters from death and the direct of the
United States Secret Services, like, you know, your concerns are noted.
I hear you. I really, I really do. But I
think I'll keep my job. Thanks. How it's just the
world that we live in. You would have your you'd
(31:18):
be fired, I'd be fired. Any other American be fired.
But if you're a part of the Biden administration, she's
likely to fail upwards, she's likely to receive a promotion
for this absolutely ridiculous. How do you want? I don't
want unity with people who do this stuff. I don't
(31:40):
want people. I don't want unity for people who had
a role in this. I don't want unity who people
with people who tried to dismiss the severity of this
assassination attempt. I don't want unity with people who try
to downplay this or attack in a sale the casualties
or god forbid, the man and his family who were killed.
I don't unity with those people. I want answers about
(32:04):
all this. I want a transparent investigation. I want accountability.
Damn it, period time out. I got a flag from
Aunt Cindy tat tone. You don't have to thank me.
Thank you for the Rumble rant tip. By the way,
one hundred percent of what we get here on Rumble
(32:24):
goes back into the studio and giving you all a
better quality show. But thank you. You don't have to
thank me for what happened on Saturday. Really, I mean
that you don't. I'm just thankful that God had me
there and that I could help in some small way.
I was a very small part of a lot of
(32:47):
patriots coming together to do some good for people. And
to me, that's what America is all about. You know
when you talk about fighting for America and why, that's
what you fight for right there. The people of this
country are what make America is just exceptional for the
most part, so almost all the people are worth fighting for.
(33:12):
But yeah, you don't have to thank me, but thank you.
Oh let me take a couple seconds while I have
you here, make sure you smash that like button, that
little green thumb beneath this video. Smash it. I think,
not yesterday's show, but the day before we were like
thirty seven on the leaderboard because of you. So thank
you for making this show a top fifty show in
(33:32):
the country. On Rumble, it's freaking pretty cool. Okay, did
you hear that? I mean talking about unifying with these
asclowns who run our government. I want nothing to do
with these people. Two Pittsburgh motorcycle cops who were assisting
with security at the Trump rally and injured by shrapnel
when an assassin fired on Trump were transferred away from
(33:53):
their unit as punishment. A local Pittsburgh news station WPXI
is reporting, So here you have police officers who ran
into the sound of gunfire, who put themselves in harm's way,
and they got fired for it. Now, do you remember
(34:17):
what we talk about on this show all the time
is the upside down world that we live in, that
criminals in America are evangelized while cops and other servants
of this country are demonized. Here these two officers should
be in a sane country, vaunted as heroes. There's video
(34:44):
out there of them evacuating the wounded. These people are heroes.
They should be celebrated as such, but instead they're fired.
You want unity with people like this that would fire
two heroic police officer simply for putting themselves in harm's
way and potentially saving lives. You want unity with people
(35:07):
who would do that, I sure as hell don't when
you think about it. Accountability has to come before unity.
It's a necessary step. I mean, this is this is
maybe a larger than life, an extreme example, but imagine
in the end of World War Two, where live America
is like, oh well, hey, look we beat the Nazis,
like all right, like we're let's get away from this
as fast as humanly possible, Like no, no, no accountability necessary,
(35:32):
you know, no Nuremberg trials. Let's just everybody get back
to their life, like before, there has to be accountability
before anybody can move on with any sense of unity.
We have not had any accountability yet. And and then like,
let me take it a step further. The left doesn't
want unity. They don't want it. They've already shown their
(35:55):
hand pushing hoaxes and lies, calling Trump an existential threat.
They're unrelenting with this. You cannot unite with this. This
doesn't get fixed by simply letting bygones be bygones. It doesn't.
(36:16):
But it does get fixed the American people coming together
being inspired by Donald Trump's actions on that stage and
Saturday and the things that he continues to do in
the wake of that horrific attack, or just inspiring. I
found and stumbled upon this footage of him arriving at
(36:39):
the hospital in Butler County and people are kind of
looking out the window like what's going on? There's a
motorcade there. They're not sure what's going on, but just
listen and watch this.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Who is that?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Sorry, you hear what I'm saying? Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Oh yeah, we're front row and my friends have black
coming out of his head.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
People, there is there is there, he is he's walking,
he's walking. Did you hear that? How many politicians do
you know? And I mean this, think of the politicians
in your lives and your districts. This is a national show.
How many politicians do you know that inspires people like that?
(38:00):
There are a couple out there in America. There's a
reason why I talk about Donald Trump and the movement
that he has behind him. There's a reason why I
talk about true leadership is about service. The idea that
you should sacrifice of yourself for others, the idea that
(38:23):
you should do good things for other people with no
expectation of receipt. That is what leadership is. And Donald Trump. Listen,
Whether you like Donald Trump or not, the man like
let's acknowledge a couple of facts here. The man is
(38:43):
a billionaire. He's wildly successful. Before he ran for president,
every celebrity loved this guy. Every crazy news anchor that's
now attacking him. Used to line up and kiss his
asses to get into his parties. All that changed, of course,
when he started running for resident and had an R
after his name. He has a supermodel wife, he's got
(39:06):
an amazing family, amazing kids, lives down at Marlago on
the beach. I mean, could be doing anything else, but
he's not. I mean, he's going through hell. And here's
the thing. The reason why he and he has loyalty
from people and inspires people is because people know it.
(39:28):
They know he could just ride off into the sunset
and live an awesome life in the Deep State, and
these shit live democrats with love nothing more. In fact,
that's why they're doing everything that they've done to him
over the last ten years to try to get him
to exit stage right. But he won't do that. And
(39:50):
people get it. People see it. They get the sense
that he is sacrificing for them. There's something Trump says, Hey,
look they're coming after you. I'm just standing in their way.
And on Saturday they did come after him. They almost
took his life. And I know, people laugh and it
(40:13):
kind of Hey, thank god the shooter wasn't a better shot. Well,
the truth is, if it wasn't for Donald Trump turning
his head just slightly at the exact moment, a bullet
was right. I mean, the timing is nothing short of
a miracle. The bullet was already in the air when
Trump turns his head, I mean turns his head and
(40:35):
it just misses him. He was hit on the first shot,
so yeah, I mean the shooter wasn't that bad of
a shot, right. But Donald Trump, he cultivates this sense
of loyalty because the people know that he really cares.
(40:57):
It's not a game for him. He's not using people again.
He could ride off into the sunset. He's not doing that.
He's risking everything now, up to including his life, to
do this. You hear people in that hospital just emotional saying,
oh my god, he's on his feet. Thank god. You know, folks,
(41:20):
we're living through something that is extraordinarily special. You know,
leaders like this don't come along often. They don't. I mean,
I can count on one hand the you know, truly
great and influential leaders that I've had in my life.
They're rare, they really really are. Because leadership is about service.
(41:45):
There are far too many people that think leadership is
all about them. Hey, look at me, I'm in charge.
I got power. I can tell you what to do. Hey,
just go do this, go get it done. I don't
give it like you know, maybe sometimes you got to
say that, But ninety percent of the time is taking
the power that's bestowed on you and investing it in
the people under your command or your charge. And people
(42:07):
feel empowered under Donald Trump, and certainly they their lives
were better when he was president. But what's so frustrating
to me about so much is this the lack of
accountability at the core of all this. You know, the
United States Secret Service Director. And by the way, I
(42:28):
will not allow the United States Secret Service Director or
majorcas or any of these feds. I will not let
them blame local law enforcement for this. I won't the
local law enforcement. I know because I've talked to sources
that I have on that were on the ground. Do
(42:49):
you know what they were tasked with that day? Traffic enforcement?
You know, they had a SWAT team on site for responses, right,
But the assumption was that the Secret Service had perimeters
set up that the Secret Service cleared the event, that
the Secret Service had buildings on lockdown, so the local
(43:10):
cops in many ways were reacting just like many other
rally goers. I just refuse to blame the local police. Again.
Maybe you're listening to the show for the first time
or watching the show for the first time, But when
have you ever heard of the FEDS coming into a
local area and relinquishing tactical control of a mission. Never happens. Ever,
(43:32):
it never happens, especially when the life of a president
or former president is on the line. It does not happen.
You should not buy the US Secret Service narrative that well,
it was the locals fault, but you're not going to
have any accountability out of the Biden administration because it's
almost as if Mayorkist and the director of the Secret
(43:54):
Service are doing exactly what the Biden administration wants, and
what we perceive is fail is actually moving the needle
for them. But listen to may Orcus after the assassination
attempt on that.
Speaker 6 (44:07):
Does do you does the President have confidence in the
Secret Service director after Saturday's failures?
Speaker 7 (44:13):
I have one confidence in the director of the United
States State Secret Service. I have one hundred percent confidence
in the United States Secret Service. And what you saw
on stage on Saturday, with respect to individuals putting their
own lives at risk for the protection of another is
exactly what the American public should see every single day.
(44:34):
It is what I indeed do.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
The Secret Service was in full tactical command. And look
the agents on the ground, the agents that rushed the president,
you know, they put their bodies over the president risk
to take a bullet. I'm not I mean talking about them.
I'm not talking about the agents on the ground. I
mean everyone's given this woman agent, it's like a hard time.
I get it, she's she's short, the president's tall. But
(44:59):
you know what, like, I don't know the training that
she received the Biden administration is a shit show. I
don't even know if she was a Secret Service agent,
she could have very well been a Department of Homeland
Security agent, very different missions. So I mean, I'm just
saying that those Secret Service agents in the moment comported
themselves with honor. They put themselves in harmon way. I'm
not talking about them. And I sure as hell will
(45:22):
not let these political leaders or these FEDS blame the
local police. I won't. I won't do it because it's bullshit,
it's a lie, and I hate I effing hate liars.
I hate it, I hate Republican liars, and I hate
Democrat liars. I won't let it happen. But the Director
(45:43):
of the Secret Service, rumors were swirling that she had diminished,
deliberately so diminished Donald Trump's protection. And the rumor on
the street was that the Biden administration, while they weren't
saying and denying, hey, we're not going to will allow
you to plus up your Secret Service protection, they were
just throwing up bureaucratic roadblocks, you know, because they didn't
(46:07):
want the negative press of denying President Trump a Secret
Service detail. They were just throwing up bureaucratic roadblocks making
it more difficult. Listen to this interview with the Director
of the Secret Service, does this sound like she did
everything necessary to protect President Trump? Listen?
Speaker 8 (46:24):
Was every element, every part of his from the intelligence
to the counter assault team, to the detail agents, the
shift agents, I mean every element top to bottom of
the advance in the operation. Was every element increased after
you learned of this credible threat.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
What we increased was what we felt was appropriate for
the former president and for that particular event on that day.
We have been increasing the assets and the resources and
the staffing that we have been providing to the former
president since he was a presidential candidate and then the
presumptive nominated. That's what I can tell you.
Speaker 8 (46:56):
That sounds like a no.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I am not saying I know at all I say,
And we have continued to increase the resources.
Speaker 6 (47:02):
That we've been providing.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
It definitely sounded like a no. We did, we did
what we thought was appropriate. Well, what you thought was
appropriate almost got a former president and future president killed. Absolutely,
they've been trying to screw Trump over. Absolutely, they're not
plussing them up on Secret Service. There's God. The Biden
(47:27):
administration denied RFK secret Service protection. For God's sake. Rfk's
father and his uncle were assassinated. That should tell you
everything you need to know. And so again that's a lie.
I hate liars. Liars make me sick to my stomach.
(47:47):
This is another lie from the Director of Secret Service.
Speaker 9 (47:50):
Listen, when you saw the events unfold on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
Shock and then concern, obviously for the former president.
Speaker 9 (47:58):
Investigators now trying to determined where the roof access had
been properly locked down. Is she do climbing up seemingly
unimpeded about four hundred feet from the stage with a
direct line of sight on the former president.
Speaker 10 (48:11):
Should that roof have been secure?
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Period?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
That building in particular has a sloped roof at its
highest point, and so you know there's a safety factor
that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to
put somebody up on a sloped roof.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
And so are you freaking? I mean, honestly, I hear
her say that I saw a video of a cow
somehow on a farm that climbed up on a roof
with a steeper slope than the one that was there
on site that day. Does she honestly think that the
American people are that stupid? Again, that is a lie.
Liars pissed me off. We almost lost an American president.
(48:48):
We did lose someone from my home state and had
several others wounded. And damn it, that's unacceptable to me.
Stop lying. Just tell the truth. It would have listened
to me, It would have been I would have been.
I would be less angry if if she just got
up there and said, you know what, we were supposed
(49:10):
to have that building on lockdown and two of my
secret Service agents went to grab cups of coffee and
at that exact moment. I mean, like I could wrap
my mind around that more as unacceptable as that is,
I could wrap my mind around that more than that.
Well with a rufouses too slow, too dangerous? Are you
did see why lies get me angry? And Sean Davis
(49:34):
of the Federalist who is who is great? He's just great,
he said. Biden's Secret Service director is not going to
resign because she did exactly what the regime expected her
to do. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayyorcus is not
going to resign because he did exactly what the regime
(49:55):
expected him to do. And Biden isn't going to fire
any of them because he's not actually in charge, and
also because they did exactly what they were expected to do.
Sean Davis is exactly right, exactly right. And so think
(50:19):
about the long list of people who haven't resigned. Millie
didn't resign after the Afghan withdrawal. How about Lloyd Austin,
the Secretary of Defense. He didn't resign after the Afghan withdrawal.
I mean there's been there have been. How about may
Orcus border overwhelmed, not following the law, violating his oath
to the Constitution. Ten point five million illegals and that's
(50:41):
just the ones that we know about invading this country
every day. He didn't resign. I mean, the list goes
on and on. There's no accountability because they're doing exactly
what the Biden administration wants them to do. They don't
live in the same world that we do. We want
to save America, we want to preserve America for our children.
These people that I just lifted listed they're on board
(51:03):
with radical leftist fundamental transformation of America and they're doing
their job and therefore will not resign because they're doing
what they the Biden administration or the people behind the curtain,
they're doing what they want them to do. So talking
about the local police, and I don't I refuse to
(51:24):
let the FEDS blame the local police department for this.
I saw this interview with a cop who is on
the ground from a local to police department, and I
think you really should should hear this. Listen, an individual
on the roof with a weapon, he'sa on a shooter.
Speaker 6 (51:41):
He did your officers are on patrol, they hear that
there is a suspicious person on the rooftop. What did
your officers do so.
Speaker 10 (51:48):
Our officers in the area started to converge on the
building by understanding is they did a full perimeter walk
of the building, weren't able to see up on the roof.
Two of the officers went to what appeared to be
the lowest point from ground to roof. One of the
officers actually boosted the second officer up high enough for
him to grab hold of the roof. When he was
able to pull his head up over the roof, he did,
(52:10):
in fact see an individual on the roof with a weapon.
Speaker 6 (52:14):
He saw the shooter, he did, and what did the
shooter do?
Speaker 10 (52:17):
Turned towards him, had the barrel of his weapon pointed
at the officer at.
Speaker 6 (52:21):
That point the officers hanging on to the side of
the roof, Yes, unable.
Speaker 10 (52:26):
To pull a gun out, unable to.
Speaker 6 (52:28):
Unable to defend himself, unable to reach his.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
Radio, any of that.
Speaker 10 (52:32):
Yeah, Yeah, strictly defensive movement for him to lower his head.
Duck lost his own grip right, fell approximately eight feet
to the ground.
Speaker 9 (52:42):
It's a steep drop.
Speaker 10 (52:43):
It's a good drop.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (52:44):
Did he get hurt?
Speaker 10 (52:44):
He did?
Speaker 6 (52:45):
In that moment. Did they realize there's a threat right
now to the former president.
Speaker 10 (52:49):
They did, so, both the boosting officer and the officer
that fell were both on the radio indicating that there
was an individual on the roof that did in fact
have a weapon.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Who did they raise?
Speaker 7 (53:00):
You?
Speaker 10 (53:00):
So there was a blanket tactical channel, and everyone that
was on that tackle channel heard it.
Speaker 6 (53:07):
Yes, how much time between that radio communication and the
gun being fired at the former president?
Speaker 10 (53:14):
That I don't I don't have that information?
Speaker 1 (53:17):
That is why. Well, first of all, you just all
needed to hear that, But that's a critical piece of information.
The local cops get the call or they hear from
people that somebody's up there, they start investigating. Pops himself
up there, he's hanging from a roof in a compromised position,
Drops falls, makes the call, there's somebody on the roof.
(53:39):
On the tactical channel that goes out to everybody. How
much time between that call and the shots fired? We
need to know that information. We must have that information.
And what I can't get my mind again, just unbelievable
(54:02):
cataclysmic negligence. It's the only word I got for it, folks,
You know I negligence doesn't do adjustice. I get it.
But why was Trump allowed to go on that stage
in the first place if they knew there was a
(54:24):
man on the building with a rifle who had just
threatened police. When we knew that at least twenty six minutes,
and now I'm hearing reports of three hours, we knew
that the police in the Secret Service knew of this
would be assassined twenty six minutes at least up to
three three hours prior. How could you let President Trump
(54:50):
go on the stage knowing that that threat was out
there whereabouts unknown? Doesn't it make more sense just to
keep President Trump backstage until you can neutralize or get
the threat on lockdown. I'm not a Secret Service guy.
I'm a ground pounding, door kicking light infantrymen. But like
(55:11):
this is common sense. There's a thread out there, he
might be armed. Let's not send the protectee out there
to the podium until we find him, until we neutralize
the threat. Then once we have the threat neutralized, yeah,
we'll send president. But they didn't do that, folks. Not
(55:34):
only did they not do that, the building, the building
that President Trump was on was completely wide open. I
mean it was completely direct line of sight. Look, look
(55:58):
that's the building the sniper's probably right around here. I'm
right here. It's just incomprehensible to me. Yeah, folks, I
don't know how this happened, and I'm sure that in
the coming weeks we will learn more. But one of
(56:22):
the things that I think has dawned on the Biden
administration is that a Trump next Trump administration is very
very likely. In fact, I've heard rumblings inside the Biden
White House from well placed sources that the Biden staff
are hopeless, that they've resigned themselves to a second Trump term.
We don't believe that we campaign like we're ten points
(56:43):
down right that I'm just telling you what I'm hearing.
So this explains Biden putting forth these a couple of
different radical plans, one of which is to term limit
Scotus Supreme Court justices. Right who, if Trump wins, it's
probably going to get to Supreme Court justices, which would
stack the court with conservatives for years. Well, Biden introduces
(57:07):
term limits and somehow gets this insane bullshit passed and
some code of ethics somehow put stuff like this in place.
Kind of sets the tone and again makes it more
of a pain in the ass for President Trump when
he comes in. I'm not saying Biden's gonna be able
to execute get that stuff done, but it's going to
be stuff that Trump has to get it dedicate time
to undoing. I've seen reports of Biden trying to do
(57:31):
everything they can to get rid of presidential immunity. Why
because they prepping for another Trump term. Maybe after he's
done with his second term, they can go after him
for things that failed that they failed going after him
for after his first So who knows, Folks, We will
keep our ear to the ground on all of this.
