EMERGENCY BROADCAST: Shooting At Trump's White House Dinner! Shooter Captured! w/ @Ryadsreport
183m 49s
A shooting incident occurred at the White House Correspondents Dinner held at the Washington Hilton, where gunshots were reported in the lobby, prompting a rapid evacuation of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other key officials. The U.S. Secret Service and local law enforcement responded swiftly, confirming that one individual has been apprehended and is now in custody—though initial reports suggesting the shooter was dead have been corrected. The event exposed serious security lapses, including the absence of metal detectors, pat-downs, and robust perimeter screening, which experts attribute to chronic understaffing and reliance on non-specialized local law enforcement. Security analysts note that the incident mirrors past vulnerabilities, such as the 2021 Butler ambush, highlighting systemic flaws in protection protocols. The shooter’s identity, motives, and weapon details remain unknown, with investigations ongoing. President Trump later posted on Truth Social, emphasizing that the event should continue under law enforcement guidance, reflecting both his desire to maintain momentum and his awareness of the danger. Reporters and attendees described the chaos, with many ducking under tables and being rushed out. Despite the incident, the White House confirmed all occupants are safe, and a formal press briefing is scheduled. The event has sparked widespread debate over security standards at high-profile gatherings and raised concerns about the adequacy of current protective measures, especially given the history of assassination attempts. While the immediate threat appears neutralized, the incident underscores the need for comprehensive reforms in presidential security and event planning.
[BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] >> All right guys, pandemonium going on. I had to go right live on it. This is the feet of what's going on. [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] >> They're going to topple they run, and once they do Israel's going to become- >> Shit, okay. So this is what happened, chef, for those of you that are wondering what the hell's going on. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> So it looks like they evacuate them. [BLANK_AUDIO] Seeker service hits the stage, sorry the audio sucks guys, it's not me. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Can somebody throw me a link, they're saying that somebody said that CNN is supporting his capture, some people are saying that he's dead. I'm on Twitter right now trying to see what happened. [BLANK_AUDIO] So you can see a secret service there, let's see. [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Out over our other [BLANK_AUDIO] been at the moment's notice, and have to shout over our other reporters. And maybe get to ask one, yes, we have access, but we don't have that quality access. I guess that they were looking for, and that's a difference. >> But I would say that those impromptu moments are falling. >> Yeah, I see it, just a second, we have an issue here at the head table at the White House Correspondence Dinner. If we can go to that full screen, it looks like the head table has been evacuated. I saw Osperlman talking with Mr. and Mrs. Trump, and then at the moment's notice. And have to shout over our other reporters. >> Okay. Yeah guys, this literally just happened like a couple minutes ago. Okay, still. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Oh, was that the sound? [BLANK_AUDIO] Yeah, you can hear a couple of clangings. Turn off for you guys real quick. [BLANK_AUDIO] Yeah, you can hear it right there. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Wow, what the hell? [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] >> I will jump in this Twitter space. [BLANK_AUDIO] To the White House, past a female secret service agent who was supposed to be guarding that entrance. So, with the security that the feds in the- [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Was fake, the one where he got allegedly shot in his ear. They'd need to turn and change the narrative that we talked about, not him. So how do you feel sorry for Trump again? Well, maybe you pretend to kill him again. >> You want to welcome Marin onto the stage as well? Marin, hope you're doing well, how are you? >> Yo, yo, I'm good, man. Thanks for having me. No, I just, obviously I was literally going to get off stream. And like I see that there are said shots were fired at the White House correspondence meeting. And I was like, what, or dinner. So just kind of trying to see what's going on. I'm hearing all types of conflicting stories. Some people are saying the guy got shot, some people said the guy got captured. I'm not really seeing too much stuff going on apparently CNN was covering it. But when I look at the CNN, I don't see it anywhere. >> Yeah, I read, we got captured, but I'm saying with you, actually it's based on the YouTube stream down and literally got off. And I was just doing some research from my video tomorrow. And the next thing I know, I flip and see and I'm like, what the hell's going on here? And it's a really spark of the space immediately. But yeah, what we know is Trump's safe. We know JD Vance is safe. The shooter is confirmed dead according to CNN. >> Is he captured or dead? >> Dead. >> Okay. >> Yeah, the president is safe. JD Vance is safe. So no one was in JD, was apparently in the ballroom. We're starting to see some videos coming out right now of the shooting. Or basically when the shooting was occurring. But yeah, this is a major news. Just from your experience, Marin, how would the shooter have even got into the lobby? I thought there'd be extreme security and extreme situation where none of this would be allowed to happen. >> Yeah, I mean, that is definitely a problem. And you would think with what happened last time with Butler that they'd be a little bit more cautious, especially since we're in the middle of a conflict right now. And this war is very unpopular that they would hide in security. The Secret Service agents got on stage pretty quickly. But yeah, that's definitely a breakdown there when it comes to security. That measures, that's kind of crazy even made it that close. >> But like, how can there be a breakdown on security when you've had two attempted assassinations on Donald Trump? You had, and.
As you said, a very unpopular war. You had the assassination of Charlie Kirk. There's been major, major incidences. How can the, how can you be in a situation where you would even have a lack of security? - Yeah, I mean, just irresponsible. I mean, the Secret Service also people got to understand they're severely understaffed. I've done Secret Service protection details before. They rely heavily upon other law enforcement agencies to help augment their force. So, you know, typically the, the closer you get to the president and the more and more is gonna be a seek, you know, Secret Service dominant detail. When it comes to like, perimeter security and everything like that, they rely a lot on, you know, county shares, local police officers, maybe uniform division, they're in DC. So I'm assuming maybe uniform division was there, but they typically spend more time around the White House. But, but yeah, I mean, you know, this is a, this is exactly kind of like what happened on Butler. They relied upon the locals to kind of handle the outside perimeter, and that's how that guy was able to get on the roof. So, this is, yeah, Secret Service has very bad, a very serious staffing issue. And they've always had this issue. They can't retain agents. They have one of the highest nutrition rates. Them, US marshals, et cetera, they're the most divorced agency, you know, work life family balance is very difficult. It's like an agent, it's a job that you wanna have as a single guy, not necessarily as an older guy with a family. Okay. And what's the, I mean, I'm looking at it now, we have obviously got the shots fired at the White House corresponded in the people screaming bystanders to tell them to get back. What's them, I mean, this is, this is, I mean, it wasn't a closed arena, a closed area, right? This is a diametrically different to, for example, what happened in Butler and these various other incidences. So how could you, someone even have got through with a gun in that specific situation? I know you said it's a failure, but even with a gun, well, you know, you can, I don't know what kind of weapon he was caught with, but it's fairly easy to conceal a weapon, you know, you know, if any, you know, you can easily conceal, you know, a full capacity handgun, right, in your waistband, no problem. So I don't think it's that hard to conceal, but there was definitely some type of security breakdown for him to make it that far, but like I said before, the Secret Service relies a lot upon other agencies to do outside perimeter, because they have, they've had staffing issues for so long they can barely keep agents around. But, wouldn't it, wouldn't it through metal? I can't hear, doc, I don't know, is he liking for you guys to know? I don't get room of banding a little bit. You at, from the fall, but you are now. I want more money, any better. But it's really, it's really too early to tell. So, like, you know, I always try to reserve, you know, like, you know, definitive commentary until like we get all the facts, but obviously this is literally minutes into the situation. So, you know, we'll have to see once we figure out who this guy was, you know, because who knows, he might have been a rogue employee that had access. Who knows, right? So we won't really know until we, until a little bit more time pass, we figure out who this dude is. Yeah, that's what we're gonna, that's what we have to find out. Apparently they are saying, okay, heavily armed service agents, Russian towards the lobby of the Washington Hilton hotel, following shots fired. The Suika service is now sweeping the arena for to look for whether there are accomplices or whether there is a second shooter. So that's something that's happening. Within the lobby, we're now hearing that President Trump will be returned to the stage at the White House dinner after shots were fired. So there's thing that the White House correspondents dinner is gonna continue, and-- - I heard that, too, that he's gonna go back. No, I heard that, too, that he's gonna go back. - Yeah, yeah. So, I mean. Yeah, Trump doesn't wanna look weak, so I'm not surprised that he's going back. - Yeah, okay, okay. But at the same time, it probably wasn't as much of a big issue as well, what do you think, like, why would you go back? Like, is I'm gonna have to vote like I didn't go back? Yeah, she got shot, right? - Yeah, well, you can see that's a dragon off the stage. So, you know, it happens. But we'll see, man, time will tell. I'm interested to see who this guy was. That will probably give us a lot more insight as to how he was able to do this or pull this off. But, yeah, I think it's confirmed now that he was shot and neutralized, right? - Yeah, yeah, that's what CNN reporting, obviously CNN could be wrong. But at the moment, yeah, CNN are reporting that he was shot. We are getting images of Mike Johnson who was evacuated brought by his secret service or his curry team as well. So, that's the latest in that as well. So, I mean, obviously, you've now got a chance to look at this, Myron. You did the kind of, I mean, this was kind of your job role. What, what wouldn't be in like the security measures and, because you said, like, taking a gun into the situation wouldn't have been as, like, it's not that hard to do something like that. What would have been the security measures? 'Cause I did. I've been to like two TPU assay events. I felt like the security was a bit more locked this time. But I remember the one I went to before. It was like very, very stringent. You couldn't even get anywhere without, you know, multiple checks and so on and so forth. - Yeah, I mean, we won't know until we know who this guy is. That will give us a lot more information. Like, you know, did he have a pass? Did he know somebody was he, some, you know, person that might have had access to this building. We'll have to wait and see who this guy is. And I think that will shed us a lot more insight as to what's actually going on. - Still too early to tell. I'll try to, I'll, I'll mute myself and I'll kind of do a little bit of research and see what I can find and come back. - Yeah, yeah, 'cause that'd be good to get your insight on like what the perimeter was, what the, what the, what the different checks you could do, what you meant to do. - Yeah, I could do that, you know, I'll do that right now. - All those, all those different things that's gonna be very important to know, especially as the day goes on. And we found out more information about the shooter. We have got images of the attendees. I thank you for that, Mario. We've got attendees from about to take over. - Okay, let's see here. The Caitlin Collins here. Yeah, it's too early to tell. - The shooter has confirmed that. And now so we didn't know at first, but then we heard from our own security that they heard shots fired. And now we do have Secret Service telling us, obviously I want to know this is only one Secret Service member, but a member of Security is here telling us that there is a shooter who has confirmed that. And now we are kind of basically locked inside the ballroom. But basically there was anger. It was okay. They have not identified the shooter yet. But obviously it shows you this is not some kind of false threat that obviously something had happened and they were actually the entire administration of stage. So we didn't know at first. - I see here. - Maybe the CCP from the stage where the president was up there, the first lady, Melania Trump. - We have to stay here for now. - Security is telling us that everything's okay. - The shooter, they were the shooter. - One second guys, I'm literally, what happened? - They're trying to identify now. - Where was the shooter? - Somewhere out there. - In the lobby? - In the lobby? - All right, Central, all right guys. I just want you to know this is not verified. We're just listening to what's happening right now. But we have security around us and it's Secret Service because there's a lot of members of the administration here, the Secretary of Education is seated right next to me and her security just said confirmed that there was a shooter. In the lobby, it's not clear where, obviously it's been a very big hotel. In the lobby of the Hilton, he said he is confirmed dead. Obviously, I mean, this is a total state of chaos right now and the ball. - So let's see here. But you have to walk up these stairs and walk out and which I was doing. And as I was walking back towards the door to get back into the big area where the event was taking place, all of a sudden, I start hearing gunshots in the hall right near me and the next thing I knew, a police officer threw me to the ground and was on top of me and I was listening and watching what was going on. And apparently they got the gunman who had a major weapon there but it was so worrisome. The noise was so loud in a small area and all of a sudden I'm seeing gunshots and then they grabbed me, the police officers and they take me back into the men's room where I was safe and they're about 15 of the men who are stuck in there and they won't let about and that's what would happen and then after a while, they let me out and I'm out now. I'm not back in the ballroom, but everything is apparently closing down. Very scary incident, all of a sudden the guy with a weapon who was a very, very serious weapon, if starts shooting and I happened to have been a few feet away from him as he was shooting and of course, personally he went through my mind as he trying to shoot me and I don't think he was trying to shoot me but I was very close to him.
and as the gunshots were fired and it was very scary that I'm okay now, wow, oh Lee okay let's see so we got that It is now crime scene Secret servers are being cut and have to personally custody everything's okay, once you didn't know we know That's crazy all right in the ballroom and got that So there's this time getting him out. It looks like stay back. Stay back You got the gun pointed up. I'm not sure what's going on there Okay Got that. Let's see what else is going on you up run through This is earlier hearing officials evacuate us speaker Mike Johnson Who protects the speaker the house actually that's interesting. Let me let me see here who protects the speaker of the house Capital police. Okay Super everything tossed in the table possibly looking for a bomb right after down the shumbles rust off the stage The fucking retarded music I've an update from our team on the ground that the person the suspect Has been detained by secret service and that the president of these now they're saying to take not killed Kevin will return the event will go on is what we're hearing from our team on the ground He will return to the podium and sounds like after they've sweeped the the Property where the stake in place that to me. I don't know what you Kevin indicates that this threat has been neutralized They have this person in custody They feel that it's safe enough for people to return for the president to return and continue this dinner One of your thoughts Kevin I am I'd be shocked for the let him back in Okay, secret service now confirms that we've been killed by secret service in the lobby of the White House correspondence So now they're saying it's cancel we're getting all kinds of fucking answers, bro Western media duck and cover for safety as gunshots reported Okay, shout you Cody wonder how many bombs are currently there
, you're right
, I'm going to put you all back there What the fuck? It's Rob's thank you All right, here's wolf blitzer Just coincidentally After they served the appetizers, I walked out to simply go to the men's room But you have to walk up these stairs and this is better already the last one Walk out and which I was doing and as I was walking back towards the door to get back into the The big area where the event was taking place all of a sudden. I start hearing gunshots in the hall right near me And the next thing I knew a police officer Thanks for the five. Yeah, we know one shooter's down. It looks like there I don't know if there's one or two shooters chat Me to the ground and was on top of me and I was listening and watching what was going on and Apparently they got the gunman who had a major weapon there But it was so worrisome the noise was so loud in the small area And all of a sudden I'm seeing guns and as me thank you so much and then they grabbed me the police officers and they Take me back into the men's room where we say to their about 15 other men who Are stuck in there and they won't let about and that's what what happened and and then after a while they let me out my mouth now I'm not packing the ballroom, but Everything is apparently closing down Very scary infinite all the sudden the guy with a weapon It was a very very serious weapon. We start shooting and I happened to have been a few feet away from him as he was shooting And of course first thing he went through my mind is he trying to shoot me and I don't think he was trying to shoot me But I was very close to him as the gunshots were fired and it was very very scary, but I'm okay now Bucking crazy man All right, let's see People were very upset and worried Jake Tapper and I had some videos so somebody needs to have no signal There's never any signal here at the lot so I apologize for that, but I have some video to say, but in any case, I have no idea what happened somebody with a secret service pin said that there was a shooter made his way to the building But not into the room and that shooter was Stop Hey guys, do me a favor those you're watching on YouTube smash that like button That's the least you could do for me being on his god for sick and app giving you all the news still haven't slept over 24 hours Smash the like button for me on YouTube Follow on kick too So that's that's all I know is that shooter was stocked, but people were jumping under tables People were very upset and worried and I have some videos so somebody needs to have no signal There's never any signal here, so I apologize for that, but I have some video to send, but in any case, all right, let's see what else we saw this Okay, there's a it sounds like you guys heard that Her love sounds President show America that he is still here of course the question of whether or not secret service wants him back in the room Whether or not it would be okay, whether or not they feel we've heard that they believe that their threat is neutralized But whether or not secret service feels confident enough to put him back in the room is Trump posting on the true social thing But we have heard that he wants to be better Peter. I just heard you your head now Okay Says here quite an evening and DC Secret Service and law enforcement did offense out of the act to quickly and bravely the shooter has been apprehended and I have recommended
That we let the show go on, but we'll entirely be a guy to be law enforcement. They will make a Descent shortly regardless of that decision. The evening will be much different than plan and we'll just Just play and have to do it again, President Donald J. Trump So now they're saying the shooter has been apprehended is the apprehended or is he is he dead? Which one is it Here's a live feed You Oh One on one section Okay Trying to get you guys a feed here somewhere How do you think the president's reacting especially after what happened about what is it is he is he ticked off? Is he defiant? You know, what what do you think is his I think his dimension is well I think his demeanor is around the three words. He said fight fight fight. I think that's his demeanor He's going to have the same demeanor at at for this event as well Karen Bohan once this is all settled and the investigation starts Yeah, it might be one shooter or two shooters and one is dead guys smash the like button on YouTube for me smash the like button on YouTube for me guys I'm demonetized so the least you could do is just smash the like one really appreciate that a lengthy investigation because this is a huge huge Lapse, I mean, you know, this is Yes, the president is safe and even if the event goes on But for a shooter to get that close to the president at an event where you know The security precautions are are known, you know This is this is an event that takes place every year president Is attending as president for the first time but he is not the first president to do so. So, you know What happened here? You know has to be of a huge amount of concern Yeah, it looks like they even when they took him off the podium that they put him on the ground to begin at least Covered him there. They didn't know what was happening and and You know, what's interesting to me through all of this is you've got this room of reporters And we went through this at the beginning of the Trump administration where reporters are finally utilizing social media at that time in 2017 so we got a lot of things in which and this is where I had a issue with the with the media at the time Where they were reporting out through social media items that their editors wouldn't let them put in the newspaper because they didn't have two sources And it was a little Lucy Goosey at that period of time in 2017 for your listeners I would not be surprised if they went to the individual feeds or of some of these reporters They'd get a lot of information as well through through X and other social media sites and it will be interesting Bureau back chat President Trump posts on social media which he just did okay quite an evening in DC secret service and law enforcement did a fantastic job They acted quickly and bravely the shooter has been apprehended and I have recommended that we let the show go on But we'll entirely be guided by law enforcement. They will make a decision shortly Regardless of that decision the evening will be much different than planned and we'll just Planed plan have to do it again president Donald J. Trump There it is. It's interesting that let the show go on is in all caps So he feels very strongly about that might dubkey when you see something in all caps from the president What how should we read that? I'm going to make a trick about this if it's prior to midnight He really means that if it's after midnight all bets are on But it it sounds like Let's going going back to this truth social post I have recommended that we let the show go on but will entirely be guided by law enforcement. They will make a decision shortly That was it oh that was at 917 PM that he sent that out and it is currently 1030 so that was about an hour ago that he put this post. I don't know it's only nine it's only nine 20 I have unless my watch is no no no no you are correct. I apologize I'm trying to tell military time here in the studio clock and that's not going to be successful So let's check we've got two c-span journalists one in the ballroom. That's John McCartle We got Greta Bronner on Connecticut Avenue outside the Washington, Hilton Greta do you have any updates for us? I have made my way to Connecticut Avenue Peter and I'm listening to all of you. I heard what the president posted on Truth social and it will be interesting to see if the show goes on what Sort of attendance there is if folks are filing out They are you know trying to find ubers walking blocks because this perimeter has extended from what it was When we arrived here this evening and you no longer allowed to Access the the Hilton. I'm about I'm about one block off of the Hilton and it's roped off I do want to add one bit of um I guess color to the evening when When we heard the secret service tell folks to get down when the room fell to a hush I Was looking up from from my table and senator john federman I don't know if he was on c-span camera. He was standing up the entire time. I mean The room of people at the tables were Everyone most everyone was ducking down following The orders that they were hearing around them. Hey guys they make paper on youtube smash the like button Let's get to 1000. We don't get to 1000. I'm going to get off youtube Let's get to 1000. We're sitting at about 600. Let's get to 1000 guys All right But I found it very interesting welcome friday. Thank you fx trex. Thank you thing that That uh he that's how he Observed the situation hey gretta. I know when we've we've replayed now a couple of times the incident itself and Karen bohan and mike dubkey on the set with me we could all hear the boom boom boom boom Could did you hear it when you were in the in the in the room Was that to me peter? Yes, yes ma'am Yes, uh, I did not hear Gunshots what people have described as what they thought were we're gunshots. I did not hear that I heard what sounded like a a tray clashing to the ground Uh People shouting get down get down And when I turned to look at the days as I said earlier the president first lady the vice president they were gone It happened incredibly quickly Yeah, they got him out of there and then you couldn't from from Where we were at you couldn't George says uh smells like a false flag. Now they're gonna blame my ran for left the student lunatic. We'll see we'll see in the room Everyone was down the room was pretty quiet and then The secret service the law enforcement started streaming and you saw them jumping on chairs. They were quickly traversing the room on chairs and moving toward the front of the room moving toward the principles in the room to get them out of the ballroom It happened very quickly Greta thanks for the update and uh, I hope we can check back in with you in a little while It sounds like Greta will not be getting back in Mike Debkey. We're gonna go back and show the truth social Uh And the true social post that uh, the president put out at 917 this evening Can you confirm that he types those himself that he takes out a device? He definitely does or does he? I can confirm I when I can confirm that every every one of the posts that goes out he has seen and approved He doesn't necessarily type every single one out That's generally for maybe minor ones. I would almost guarantee you that he typed this one out. That he typed this one out Karen bohan it has the president's use of social media been valuable to you as a reporter. Well it's
valuable that that we always know what he's thinking. All right, let me read the chat. I'm a slayer. This is a false plan. We're looking for. Okay. I do my briefing to my command on that. I ran word tomorrow morning. Any developments on the straight being open. I know we pulled out of talks in Pakistan. I know straight. Definitely not open mind the trooper. I'm watching 90% of my time because his IQ analysis top notch. Thank you. I got you. My friend. That's why it works so hard because a lot of you guys rely on me for your news. That's why I try to hold myself to a higher standard. Troubles on social. Yep. Translucional. Thank you. Albo. Why would they say they're dead? I don't know. There might be more than one. Chuggles for an espresso. You're going to need it. Yeah. DJ Richard 96. Subscribe. Welcome, dude. Thank you guys for joining the OSS, man. I love you guys. All you guys that join OSS, man. It's a family. Right. It helps with you being demonetized on YouTube. Also guys. Speaking of demonetized on YouTube. Smash that goddamn like button. We're sitting at twenty 200 you guys in here. We need to get over 50% engagement, okay? Everybody gives some rest. Now the shop. It's exactly bra. I was about to go to sleep goodness fear of my apologies. If you touch on it already, I've been in and out of the streams, but did you cover the only lady from FIU got arrested federally over a joke? I I glossed over it a little bit. How long before Netanyahu makes a claim that it wasn't ran probably right now. Maggie, dude, they're trying to say it's around. Of course. Real. Who wants to see some random white guy get knocked out live? Okay. When you say stage presentation, do you think the awards the president, maybe the president speed? Call him. Call mex. Thank you so much, guys. By the way, again, smash that like button on YouTube. And then also if you guys are watching on kick, follow the channel, okay? Follow the channel. If you guys are watching on kick. Right off. I've seen the waiters come out. Since some of them were removing some of the salads earlier in terms of what the program should be, I mean, I I would imagine that at the Wajijang, we'll we'll try to give some details. She said a couple of times that we know you want to know what happens. We'll have more information for you. It seems like the president wants to say something, Peter, do I think they're going to go with a full program with the awards and, you know, all the media and O's. I don't think so, but I think they want to do something. This is the celebration of the first amendment. The freedom of the press and the freedom of the press, not being intimidated by what's happening with somebody who wants to do violence. I think that is now the priority, or I guess that's the priority of the folks at the White House for respondents association right now. All right. Thank you, John. We'll we'll be back with you shortly, Karen Bohan. And something like this happens, is their natural sympathy toward the attendee in this case? So I think it does change the tone. I think going into this reporters were sort of poised for an uncomfortable evening in which the president would have choice words for reporters. And, you know, I would expect that Wajijang will still emphasize. Well, again, thank you so much for the 10 gifted. If you guys are broke, he's typing. I put the fries in the bag and somebody will hook you up. The first amendment and freedom of the press, I don't think her remarks will change that much, but it definitely changes the tone. Mike Dubkey, again, we mentioned this a little bit earlier, but how do you see the currently written speech changing is somebody from the communication of frantic way, frantic on a laptop right now and just rewriting this opportunity, frankly, here. Okay. For those of you that just joined shots were fired at the shots were fired at the White House correspondence dinner. Trump was evacuated alongside, you know, other high level members like JD Vance Vice President, Mike Johnson, et cetera. Yo, I'm live right now. I'm calling on this court. Oh, you are? Yeah, my bro and right now for you guys be here with an olive branch and hopefully and I would think that the media would receive it as well. CNN reports that secret service is urging President Trump not to return to the ballroom. All right. We in here. Yo. All right. Yeah, yeah. Hold on. I'm going to turn my camera on and everything. You were just about to get off, man. The reason it is the fuck me up, man, all the okay, but it's all good. Let me turn my camera off or boom. All right. Oh, fucking my bed. Yeah, so I was literally just telling my chat. I went live right away. Bride didn't even get to eat my food. I'm about to eat right now, but I was saying I was going to talk about the whole of Ron Pakistan thing, how Trump is kind of falsely posturing or whatever. And then, of course, you have this happen. So I thought it was a little bit more pressing, but thankfully, it seemed like the president, the president is okay. What's that? Yeah, I'll share a screen right now because I got, I already got, I got broadcast going. So let me yeah, that way, yeah, I was just looking at some of it with my stream, go ahead and pull up your MC. Yeah, because he was no longer on the podium, perhaps to sign that the president may not be coming back out. He said in that true social post that, of course, you'll let law enforcement make the final decision. Yeah, I don't know. And that he won't be coming back out, but literally just about 15 seconds ago, somebody came up, took that, I know he wants to go back, but there's no, I'd be shocked if they let him go back there, bro, because they're clear of the building and shit like that, like program will continue in some way, which it seems like they're doing right now. But, you know, we, we are blessed. No way. Yeah, it would be highly irresponsible to let him back, but of course, people got to understand his psyche, right? He wants to act like he's tough and operate him, so. Now it'll be interesting to see if he's still at the Hilton or if he has already been returned to the White House, but with the White House, bro. Sounds like Greta was telling us about around the Hilton, it sounds like he still might be at the Hilton. He said, very well be, but if they're making that decision. And here is the Secret Service and their press release. The U.S. Secret Service, in coordination with the Metropolitan Police Department, is investigating a shooting incident near the main magnetometer screening area at the White House Correspondence Center. The president and the first lady are safe, along with all protecties. One individual is in custody. The condition of those involved is not yet known, and law enforcement is actively assessing the situation, so, and that is chief of communications from the U.S. Okay. So he's not dead then. They're saying in custody. He's not dead. We know the local. Yeah. She and then had a false report. Okay. Cons retarded. Into the dinners before. I have once before, but I think you were there. Yes. Or this earlier today. And you're the former, you're the former chair of the association. You know exactly where those magnetometers are. We all. Anybody who's been to the dinner and every single person that goes into the. Um, team bird. Thank you so much for the 10 gifted. We're really going to again. Thank you. Guys, if you guys enjoy, uh, you know, covering breaking news, political commentary, et cetera. Um, follow the channel on kicknidges. Uh, ballroom. Those are relatively close to the ballroom, too. Yes. They're close. Yes. But the line to get to the magnetometers is long. You're right. Typically, but it is it's chaotic there. It is. And, you know, they, they, they check your tickets. Here's Wiesia Zhang, CBS news. It's a room full of reporters, so I know you've already seen the president. Uh, my apologies, his police, well, I address Carolyn Levin's interview before. Why should I address that? Did she say something? It's time truth. Social circulating. Let me check. Let me pull it up. Yeah. What did she say? I think it was probably before the shots were fired. On force man has something regarding the shots. I think the premises consistent with protocol. Um, and here it is here. All right. Pull it up. Going to share it. I'm you. This shit while you plug up on your side, because we could actually have two screens. So yeah, I got to go in here. Let me turn the volume up. All right. Go ahead. Valisi not. He is ready to rumble. I will tell you this speech tonight will be classic Donald J Trump. It'll be funny. It'll be entertaining. There will be some shots fired tonight in the room. So, okay, I get what they're trying to get at here, but obviously she meant that figuratively because Donald Trump is probably going to rip on half of the room. Everyone should tune in. It's going to be really great. I'm looking forward to hearing it. I love it all. And you wrote. Of course, highly coincidental, but you know, I already know the conspiratorium going to jump on that. Oh, yeah. What's going on? You said. You already know. And true Donald Trump fashion, the man puts his pen to the paper himself. So it's a lot of his own work to rumble. Is he not? Yeah. So that's why they're going crazy about it. No, I mean, it's a little weird. Right? You know, there's a coincidence there. No doubt. But when she says shots fired, obviously in hindsight, it sounds like it's like this double plan. But realistically, at the time she just met Donald Trump is going to make fun of every single person in the room. Yeah. Like he always does with the White House Press. Yeah. He always, he always uses nicknames and calls them, you know, Gavin Newscombe, Rhonda Symonius, you know, crooked Hillary. He has all these fucking nicknames for people, you know what I mean? The failing New York Times like a lot of people are speculating. I mean, what are your thoughts? Obviously, it's early. So we're just having fun here. But a lot of people are saying, oh, false flag to make Trump look better. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know if I really believe that. Yeah. I mean, the shots were in the lobby, right? But one of the main questions that I have off the bat, and I know Suleiman was kind of asking you about this while you were in the space, is how did that guy get even within the vicinity of the president? Well.
Security apparatus not on point obviously secret services under staff like you were saying they have local forces support them Yeah, he was in the lobby He wasn't an actual vicinity of the dinner, but still it's like a little bit too close for home, right? Yeah, but the thing is also like people forget that like protection is not the same as regular law enforcement right like most cops like don't go To the academy to teach like protection detail like they're like learning When I go they learn how to you know normally police procedure protection versus law enforcement two different things So a lot of these guys that they like get are like local cops and or maybe other agencies that don't specialize in protection The only agencies really that specialize in protection are the diplomatic security service DSS from the State Department and then Secret service those are the main law enforcement agencies that like you know are pretty much exclusively Protection first agencies law enforcement second so ones have happening a lot of times is like you guys you got these dudes on these details They don't want to be there. They're pissed off. You know, they got to wear a fucking suit You know, it's just like a sucks, right? I could tell you capital police was there as well. Yeah, yeah, they were probably there Yeah, and then you maybe secret service uniform division to a bandslide. Thank you for the gift of sub So it's just a miserable position, bro to be honest with you and a lot of people like hate that shit. So That's a long ruling hours lot of work no life. Yep. Even as a single person. It's pretty grueling But precisely. Yeah, no, it's it's crazy that that is some um It's always trump with these situations, right? So yeah, they're not inexpensive and uh it'll be hard to find that ballroom So I I think it's fantastic. He made that off guys smash that like button. Let's get to uh, let's get to 1000 likes 1500 likes on YouTube I'm on here. He even knows platform sucks. My brother's on YouTube as well. I make sure to open a tap for him Just take about a week to put together. It takes months. It literally takes months after tonight's dinner with it Would they start planning next year's already? Yeah, immediately after you know in in 2011 I immediately began um planning for the dinner in 2012 um, you know that starts with Finding the entertainment um it takes presumably doesn't it doesn't have an issue there because um presumably O's Perlman would return for that but all of the logistics around the dinner I mean you're talking about an event. I see some people in my chat are confused guys to clarify This was at the Hilton. This was not at the White House. Yeah, there was a White House correspondence dinner But it was yeah, yeah, well not at the White House. Post by Donald Trump's law enforcement has requested that we leave the premises Consistent with protocol which we will do immediately so it sounds like he is still at the Hilton I will be giving a press conference in 30 minutes from the White House press briefing room Okay, first lady plus the vice president and all cabinet members are in perfect condition We will be speaking to you in a half an hour I have spoken with all the representatives in charge of the event And we will be rescheduling within 30 days President Donald J. Donald Trump. Yeah, I know that we're going to let him go back As the Trump in turn and he's still got to get a word in yeah, he's still got to get a word in though Yeah, he's like I did this speech. I'm going to cook. I made this speech Our in perfect practice for fucking three days probably Trump language there the rest of this was probably crafted by the press team He went through with his Sharpie. He edited it down. He made sure that He wanted to convey that thought but there are some Trump isms in that too social that's how Perfect condition is a trump ism. I would that if you're asking me my expert opinion That's what I would see all right one more time before he has to exit the ballroom John McCartle is at the Washington Hilton Mr. McCartle Any updates that we don't know yet? John is not in the ballroom or if he is he cannot hear us but let's take a couple calls from our viewers See what their reaction is to this and we'll take those calls right after one more time Let's replay the events of now about an hour hour and a half ago and this is what happened And this is what caused the the tumbling of events let's watch Wow that was loud at least from the audio yeah Trump is like I've been here before I mean not to get into the nitty gritty man but maybe I'm being unfair I feel like the response was a little delayed from secret service I don't know I'm not trying to rip on secret service they get enough flak as it is but I don't took them some time to get to the stage bro no shots were loud But at the same time they didn't seem to be a reaction from anybody at the table So maybe from the audio we're hearing it was louder than it actually wasn't person I don't know yeah but I thought that reaction was a bit slow But the covering of the president they didn't necessarily take him out of the room What were they doing they were evidence me they give her the five gifted bro or no nine nine nine give the appreciate you happening there Assessing the situation to make sure that they could get him up and move him out It was again I hate keep referencing this but we saw a very similar action And in Butler and you've seen this with other presidents as well where they Make sure that he is protected by a body in this case of a secret service agent And then when it's safe to move him move him out quickly Yeah and it looks like the journalist now Karen Bohan are being All right so for those of you guys that are just joining because we got a lot of people watching right now Between all the different platforms we got what like four five thousand you guys in here So between my brother four four to six thousand you guys in here no bots of course Guys basically shots went off at the White House correspondent's dinner in Washington D.C Secret service immediately secured the scene got the president out of there evacuated him Mike Johnson JD Vance You know obviously the three people that earned a successful line when it comes to being president of the states I people don't know the speaker of the house actually is number three after the vice president It's a very powerful position But um, but yeah, so they rush them out of there Um, it seems like Trump is gonna do a press conference. We're gonna wait um and see what's going on Uh, we don't really know too much. I know that We're getting conflicting stories one side. They're saying that the shooter was killed another one is saying the shoe is apprehended Um, I think the official narrative now because CNN misreported it based on what you said right read that the shooters apprehended um So it was captured it might it might be a bit until we get his name Um, but you know, it's kind of why I'm reserving like uh giving too too much commentary Because figure out who he is is gonna help us a lot with knowing what the hell actually transpired here So yeah, and for some Go ahead and the intricacies of at least what we know right now is the shooting was in the lobby of the hotel Not actually where the dinner took place at least that's what it seems like from the video footage No one got up and screed away or like ran so there were distant shots there were about four to five of them That's where reports are saying CNN had reported initially he was dead, but now Donald Trump Or the secret service himself obviously from C-SPAN that we're watching here have reported that he's apprehended So yeah, it's really none else. We don't know what kind of gun. We don't know who it was. What his motives were But that will all come to light probably very early on tomorrow or at some point tomorrow Trump might like spill the beans and say what it is before this time of the day with a security event on top of that So and the fact that both the president and the vice president speaker the house We're all in hey guys smash that like bun for me. We're sitting at a 1,000 likes 2,500 you guys watch the live on YouTube We got another 1700 or so. We got 1700 on the kick 1,000 on rumble 400 on OSS. Do me a favor smash that like bun on YouTube John What's going on here? Just want to just want to give you a sense of The end of this here at the White House correspondence dinner that you can see the journalists are all making their way out I'm standing next to the ABC News table You know drinks are half drunk and plates are half Intrace, but at this point the room is clearing out. There was that announcement you heard from Wajajang that there will be The statement from the White House and that it's going to be happening in less than a half an hour saying that's not a joke There was almost an audible groan from Some of the reporters in the room when they heard that because many of them then sort of moving very quickly to the doors knowing that they had to Discover it. This is the the White House press for and So apparently they got the shooter Near the magnet meter Let's see here. I think NBC is the different ways that someone could have gotten around this Secret server shooter apprehended near magnet meter of White House correspondence dinner. Trump is safe Great point Ryan. Thank you for bringing that up. Standby. We want to go live now to Julie Serkin who is Got 15k watching on here Okay, so summa just posted something. Yeah, and the sources CNN Suspect assembled a long weapon in a lightly monitored area near the terrorist level entrance according to a volunteer witness here I can show this on screen very quickly. I go ahead Yeah, anytime you pull some up just put up put on screen. I'll I got you Okay, um So again, so suspect assembled a long weapon the room had bar charts being stored in no security at the time Witness hella maybe said the gun didn't look like a typical gun and was assembled from a bag Gunman then rush towards the stairs leading down to the ballroom open fire in multiple directions witness estimates at least 10 shots From what we heard it was like five, but of course there could have been more that we didn't hear
law enforcement officer was struck in the vest condition unclear. One person in custody, Trump, Melania, safe, secret service, and Metro police actively investigating here are some photos from probably people on the scene journalists or whoever else is their immediate executives. So maybe that's him again, rose alive. Okay. Yeah. You know, yeah, this seems like you probably got hit and they had to cut his clothes off to give him aid. That's probably what happened. Save him. Okay. Yeah. Cause he got hit. Got it. Obviously, like whenever you get hit like that, the cops are going to cut your clothes off immediately with the sheers and start rendering eight. Cause you want this guy alive, bro, like, uh, yeah, stuff like this. Got to figure out why the hell you did that. What is motives were? Who he knows? What was planned next? Exactly. Which is why they were clearing the building and sweeping it because, of course, they didn't know if there was going to be a second wave, a third wave. There was a plan chain of events, things like that. So yeah, it seems like these are official pictures. This looks like it's the real deal here. So there's another one. Okay. Um, but yeah, seems like he was apprehended right away. Yeah. That come to this dinner that invite members of the administration and so on and so forth. And Congressman Raskin told me that he was walking to our table. He hadn't even gotten there yet. Uh, just to show you how early on in this dinner program, this was when he said that two secret service agents. It's not like one shot. And I have to tell you being in the room, being under the table actually because my colleague, Jose Diaz Belar, you might know him, uh, shoved me in there essentially in that moment in a protective way. And we're so grateful that we were there with colleagues and fellow reporters and members of Congress. And everybody just really in that moment sort of stuck together, but it was confusing and it was chaotic. And when I walked out and I saw Congressman Raskin sitting there, um, he was with Carrie Kennedy. And he said that when the secret service jumped on him, he jumped on her and was nervous that she may have broken her rib. One thing that's still kind of raw around here, believe it or not, is January 6th. Um, it was so long ago, but for Congressman Raskin, it feels like yesterday. He actually was so calm moving through that experience. I was kind of taken it back. He was our guest. So I wanted to make sure he was okay. Um, you know, he's older. He's had some health conditions. And he was cool as a cucumber. And he told me it's because he remembers what happened on January 6th. And he brought up the fact that people have been talking online, um, you know, conspiracy theories floating around about the assassination attempts that we know happened to the president. So this is a very fraught environment. And I think, you know, covering the White House as well. In addition to Congress, it's clear the president wanted this to go on. Jamie Raskin actually said he was going to return inside because he told me the show must go on. So I think it's a resilience as well. Uh, but of course, the president realizing, as he said in his post, uh, with secret service that that was just not a safe environment, especially as they're still trying to figure out process, the scene, what happened, all of the exits, all of the entrances, um, all of the hundreds of people who are staying here completely unrelated to this event. I think this will be a security posture that we're going to see for some time tonight. And, and I think the president obviously going to address that soon. And Julie, we do want to remind our viewers that the president probably in the next 10 to 15 minutes will be making a statement from the White House briefing room. You can see, uh, the podium empty at the moment. But people, reporters, correspondents are gathered. Totally unnecessary. You just have to say something extraordinary evening. Julie, can you tell us where you were sitting in that ballroom in relation to the president and to the, in the relation to the stage and that head table and how the president's demeanor appeared to you as this was all happening? Yeah, I'm going to be completely forthcoming where I was sitting. Um, I was facing the stage. I was, uh, a couple of tables from the stage. So you could see the president, well, you could see, um, the press secretary, you could see the head of the White House correspondent's association fellow journalists. And the program was really just beginning, as I mentioned. I was talking to my colleague, Jose Diaz Bailar. We were just starting our meals. Um, and we heard, I mean, what sounded like gunshots, but in that moment could be anything. With a room so packed, you immediately eye the exits. Um, I've been in this room before as have my colleagues. This is a place, by the way, outside of the White House correspondent center. Hey, guys, uh, get ready. I'm going to switch off of YouTube here in a little bit. I'm going to give you guys my kick link or you guys go to my brother's channel. I tagged his channel in the title. So you guys can click there as well if you want places of any that fit the capacity of people here. And so they are used to these kinds of high profile events. I remember, while I didn't see the president because of where I was facing. And as I said, I ducked under the table. Jose pushed me under it and we were trying to figure out what was happening. Um, we thought it was gunshots. You know, as a journalist, you are constantly, do I film? Do I not? But in that moment, it was, it felt like it was gunshots. And we were told to get down by secret service because they wanted to escort the VIPs out of the room, understandably. So I saw Speaker Johnson getting rushed out. He was maybe two tables to the right of me. Um, I saw Tom Emmer, uh, who's a member of House Republican leadership as well. Uh, he actually already has an injured leg. We've seen him last couple of weeks rolling around a little scooter, uh, in the Capitol. So they got him out later. I was ready out from under the table when I saw him, you know, being limped out, ushered out by police, but there were cops, uh, secret service jumping on her table, trying to get everybody out. Okay. So it is fresh, but Deborah Lee is saying at the White House correspondent dinner, there was no metal detectors or no patdowns. Obviously, we know who she is full on Zio, but, uh, let's see what she had this thing as well. Yeah. And look at this posting the third strap after someone tries to kill the president as a choice. Yeah, bro. This is wild. Yeah. Like, dude, this fuck yeah, what a, yo, what a dumb ass like, uh, like, and you know, and these thoughts get like all the invites by the way. Like they're, they're, yeah, they get all official position. Is she even a journalist? I don't know what she is, bro. Like she's, uh, she has bar agent for Israel, but it's like these chicks like, like, bro, they, they fucking like, um, they have no talent. They just get, they just get invited to everything. You know, I mean, it's kind of funny. Yeah. Let's see what she said. How did somebody get a gun into the White House correspondent's dinner? Honestly, as somebody went, there was no security. You just showed you're taking, you're able to completely get in. There was just no patdowns, no metal detectors, nothing going on. So really horrible setup. Is that really true? Do you believe that? I don't know about that, man. I mean, well, I'm not sure it depends. Yeah. All right. We don't know, right? Yeah, we don't know. Guys, I'm getting off YouTube, either go to my brother's channel, which I tagged in the, in my title, because I just changed the title or come on over to my kick, which I got pinned in the chat. So either or you go to my brother's channel, not, but I'm going to end the YouTube stream here. Uh, and we are going to be on kick, man. So come on over guys. Kick for me, open up a tab, and my brother's channel, and we have a report he could check that out too, yet off YouTube now. So, so right after the shooting, she posted this and then she deleted it and everybody started back in her face. Yeah, they're probably going to hide from the child's act. Yeah, they're cooking her. Yeah, good. Yeah. Okay. So just to clarify, too, to get back to the news. Okay. This makes sense. Everybody thought the shooter was dead. I think because he was hit. That's why his clothes were off. And then they obviously gave him a rendered aid. So he was hit. Everybody assumed he was dead, but then we realized he wasn't. Yeah. Excuse me. So yeah, but apparently no pad down, no metal detectors. I don't know how true that is. That seems a little bit far fetched, but we will see what happens or continues to develop here. Go ahead. Uh, keep playing that. If that's live. Yeah, yeah. Congressman Rises is what they're trained to do, but that orchestration of quickly and sort of calmly evacuating that head table, the president and other dignitaries up there. I wonder how that moment felt to you, Julie, as all this was going on. Did it feel under control or did it feel completely panicked? No, you know, it fell under control. And again, we've covered these, unfortunately, too many to count. Whatever the motive is, it's, um, it's a devastating experience to be in this and to watch that kind of chaos unfold. But to your point, it did feel like it was under control. And how Speaker, my John said actually just posted on X. Um, I, I mentioned that I saw him and his wife, Kelly, get ushered out very quickly by secret service. I mean within minutes, of course, in those moments, it's hard to tabulate how much time passes because seconds feel like minutes and so forth, but he posted saying, Kelly and I were at the event tonight and we're thankful, no innocent, people were harmed and everyone is now safe. And he said, we're grateful as always for the law enforcement and first responders who acted so quickly to bring the situation under control. I think that was the theme of the night. Um, the officers did act quickly. It was unclear, you know, you talk about the chaos again, bridging my personal experience, which is a little bit of fear, of course, and watching, you know, VIPs in the room, the president, we had members of the administration just all over the room. Um, people like you mentioned who are important, um, who are targets, uh, no matter what side of the aisle they're on. Uh, and so in this situation, of course, as a journalist, you're watching to make sure to see, um, who was being moved out of the room when and it was clear that they were praying. Guys, quick update. So Donald Trump will speak for those of you who are coming in because people are flooding in kind of. So I'll give the news again, because my view count just doubled pretty much what had happened in the last. Why does that came over? Because I'm a YouTube stream. Oh, is that what it is? Okay, okay. I'm like, yo, where the hell these niggas? Where the hell do these niggas come from? I gotta give these niggas a news. No, because I told them I was like, yo, either go to my brother's channel or come to kick and obviously a lot of niggas on YouTube. So they're going to go, they're going to stand YouTube. So it's fine. For the sake of it, I'll just say very quickly, of course, uh, there was a shooting at the Hills and Hotel for the White House course, mine is dinner. Donald Trump is okay. Uh, the three lines of, you know, real leadership or a fine JD Vance speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, and then of course, Melania and Trump are fine. Secret service apprehended the individual and and Trump is about to speak.
And maybe the next like five or 10 minutes, so not at the dinner, but he's gonna deliver a statement quickly. Their condition is and that is not something that we've been completely made aware of at this point. We do know that the shooter was apprehended. We don't know if the shooter was killed, if the shooter was injured, what the situation was, but law enforcement officials have told us that the threat no longer exists. So that's one of the big things that we are trying to understand. We also know that the president is going to speak about this probably in the next. It's good that they caught him, bro. Normally these things, the guy gets killed, bro, and the case dies with them. You know what I mean? So this is good that they actually got him to DC trying to get back. Like the one in Pennsylvania, honestly, like Thomas Crooks. Exactly. Yeah, Thomas Crooks, sorry, just across the street from the US capital. There were numerous streets that were shut down. There was a helicopter that was circling the Hilton for a certain period of time. You saw SWAT teams rushing to the scene at that point. And as Julie pointed out, there was also a bit of confusion as to whether or not they wanted people to stay in the building, if they wanted people to leave. I know in my case, our bosses instructed me to try and get back to the bureau as quickly as I could. So I made it through kind of a circuitous route through the balls of the Washington Hilton and then left through a basement entrance to get out. Maximus says, Trump, he can't talk shit. Jacobi says ridiculous that they listen, fucking chick talk about important details at the dinner. I put the bag in the fries. Okay, you guys are funny. Yeah, what's your speculation? I mean, you know, the big deal now is who's this going to be? You know, the the next breaking line of news or the next narrative that everybody's ready to jump on is who the shooter is. Is this some dishevelled white kid like Matt Crooks or Thomas Crooks, sorry, is this some Muslim is this a trainee, right? Like so that's kind of the next development. And that's what's going to spiral the next, I don't know, a couple of weeks of talking points and waves of attack. So that's going to be really interesting to see. It looked like a white person, though, from that photo that I showed, however, yeah, yeah, it didn't look like here. I can show very quickly. Yeah, I mean, this is this is the guy here. I don't know. So we'll see, it looks like a white person, but don't know yet too early. And I was struck, you know, at the beginning of the dinners, we're walking in the volume of people that you saw with earpieces in their ears, which is an indication. It's a tell right away that they are law enforcement and security detailed, not necessarily just somebody that's at the dinner. Most of them also were not dressed in tuxedos for the most part. So there was an overwhelming law enforcement presence and they were also quick to respond. The other thing that I thought was interesting about it and the reason that you knew that this wasn't a typical situation is that many of them had their guns drawn. And you know, I have to say I've been around law enforcement, capital police, secret service, metropolitan police, folks that aren't in uniform that go to events like this and are protecting principles. They are unbelievably unbelievably professional. You never see their firearms. They always have them holstered ready to go at a moment's notice, but they never take them out. Yeah, secret service to policy. You can't close your jacket so that they can draw their, obviously, to another episode when I saw those law enforcement officers with their guns drawn prepared to act if they needed to, which is just not something that you ever see happen, despite the fact that you see this level of law enforcement at events like these all the time. So, you're going to read some chats very quickly, understanding that this was not a situation. I know you're reading some. Beast says, sorry, but this thinks of a false flag not falling for it. Third major SS failure in less than two years. Yeah, I mean, I see what you're saying. I don't, I don't know, man. We're going to have to see what develops. Who the shooter is. We'll give us a little bit more context. Xbox is dead. Thank God, he is safe. But here comes a one hour speech. I know he's about the brag they tried to kill me. We got a name identified as 31 year old cold Thomas Allen of Torrance, California. We got it. Okay. That is the name. Well, there you go. So it sounds like a Caucasian person. Google is right now. So. And then triple X says, hopefully, a Jacob Rubinstein, it doesn't get to him. Okay. Um, thanks for the super chat, guys. Yeah. Let's see the name. Here we go. All right, break it. That's making the White House correspondent. It's interesting, but identified as boom, boom, boom, boom. Video has emerged showing someone on the ground with secret surface ages, believed to be the alleged shooter taken into custody. Allen reportedly assembled a long weapon in an unsecured backroom before opening fire near the magnet magnet magnetometer, screening area, law enforcement officer was struck in the vestor in an incident. Drumline, and I'll protect these confirmed safe. So a white millennial, probably a leftist, probably, probably interesting. Yeah, very, very interesting actually. Interesting. Yeah, the real question here is you know, obviously Deborah Lear, whatever her name is said that there were no patdowns, no metal detectors. Again, I have a hard time believing that. And the shooting was in the lobby. So it wasn't that close to Trump, but of course, way too close for comfort. Yeah. The shooter is allegedly a teacher. Okay. I give Ulamon posted. Okay. So I guess they found his socials. I don't know, this is fresh. So we don't know. But okay. This is allegedly him. Take this with a grain of salt, everybody. Um, this nigga looking mix, man. If that's the case, this is, this is I don't know, you know, this nigga crazy, bro. Yeah, how much do you want to bet this one condo nigga, bro? It might be. Yeah, it is. It might be. This looks like an African American fella. Brown cloud, a good light skin, good light skin fella. Hey, man. But we don't, we don't know if that's really him. That's what I'm seeing right here. Someone said the shooter is a brown noise. Oh, shit. I don't know. I don't know. But take this all with a grain of salt. If you're watching, please don't run with this and talk. But this is what it seems like. You know, they, they probably ran his name on Facebook and all the socials and gathered these photos. So allegedly he is a teacher. Looks like a college grad, of course. So an educated person, that leads me to believe probably a hard leftist or progressive who probably needs Donald Trump for. Absolutely. Obviously reasons. Yeah. So this seems to be adding up here. But we'll, we'll keep giving you the news as it develops. Yep. But we do got a name. We're faster than NBC. I'll tell you that. I'll tell you that we faster. Bro, it took them 40 minutes. And that's what it is with mainstream news. It always takes them a while. So. Yeah. So the event did have security screening, including a main. Yeah. Okay. Just talked to us about now with President Trump going to address the nation and newsmax, AKA June max air. I mean, obviously there's things he's not going to be able to share about what he's being told. But there's, he's the most transparent president we've ever had. You know, he wants people to see him to hear him. So no, he looks good. Who knows, you may even have some members of his cabinet out there with him tonight. Yeah. They're relentless, Martin. Thank you very much. Much love. Myron. I love the joint screens with Riyadh. He's, I lily's awesome. Listen to a learn from absolutely, man. Absolutely. Yeah, this is a family. Go ahead, John. Well, you have to admire Trump's courage. I mean, I haven't, I haven't seen this, this kind of fearlessness and the fact that according to his LinkedIn, very, very long time, I mean, it seems he gave a contribution to Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, $25. You know, and just $25. We're going to hear everything that Trump can tell us in these very, very early stages. Yeah, investigation. John, there's one piece of information. I'm just noticing, came over the Reuters wire a couple of moments ago while we were talking. So I'm catching up here. An FBI official, that's the agency you used to work out, obviously, is telling Reuters that the suspect fired initially at a secret service agent. That would presume because the secret service statement, and this is now the suspect that was taken down, the secret service statement first said that it happened near one of the main magnetometers on the way in, where secret service would be manning those X-ray and metal detectors. This FBI official is adding the suspect fired at a secret service agent, presumably at that magnetometer, and that the agent is fine. I bring that up, John, because what does that tell us that the initial security may have worked, obviously, in the sense that if the gun shouldn't have been in this unsecured room, maybe the guy tried to assemble it, we're going to find that out. But then as he tried to come through, the bottom line is he fired at a secret service agent to try to get in the ballroom and either missed or was stopped, and then they took him to the ground. John, real quick on that, and then we're going to move on. Well, what that tells me is this seems to me at first blush to be more of a self-radicalized individual, because I'm rushing the magnetometers with armed, you know, uniforms. Yeah, that's retarded service, and playing clothes, the purpose, the best nots. Well, as charges be, he's going to get the same charges, probably as Ryan Ralph is what he's going to get. Let me pull up Ryan Ralph's criminal complaint for you guys. It seemed like a very good idea, so this tells me, at least initially, that this individual does not strike me as someone who is the
trained or had a very thorough plan in mind. - Yeah, clearly. John Ants is good to have you. Certainly appreciate your perspective. Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent. Thank you so much for joining us. I believe we still have Rob Schmidt, who is in the room as the shots were fired, and we now have established connection with him. Again, Rob, can you hear us? Ed and Bianca, we're in this studio. All right, so just walk us through what went down, how it unfolded from your perspective there inside the Hilton this evening. - Yeah, no, it was, I mean, we're all in there. It's a big room, you know, it's down, like underneath the Hilton hotel, so you're down like two floors down. The internet's terrible. - All right, so this is what they'll probably do, Chad. So if this guy gets charged, this is what I predict is gonna happen. Can you guys see the hold on? - I cannot. - Oh, hold on. Let me do that, that, okay, let me stop sharing real quick. All right. - Yes, for this game to be a mixed person. - Go ahead. - So right here, it's a major presidential candidate. So there's probably a charge for the president. So they're gonna probably hit him with the one of the president, it's have the assassination of the president possessing a fireman for furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer. He's definitely gonna get hit with that one, 'cause he shot at it a guy. I don't know if this guy's a felon, we'll have to see that. And then we don't know if the firearm has a serial number, but what I know for a fact, he's definitely gonna get hit with assaulting a federal officer, maybe even attempted murder, 'cause he shot one and then possession of fireman for furtherance of a crime of violence, and then attempted assassination of a major thing. Now, the thing is, attempted assassination of a president's statue. Let's see here. Wah. Okay, 18 USC 1751 presidential and presidential staff assassination kidnapping and assault. Yeah, this is what he's gonna get hit with more than likely. 'Cause there's one for a presidential candidate. This one is for the president. So this is what he'll probably get hit with. Similar to what Ryan Ralph got hit with, 'cause as you guys know, Ryan Ralph, for those of you that don't know, Ryan Ralph is a guy that tried to shoot Trump while he was golfing with Steve Whitkov back in September of 2024. If you guys recall. So yeah, anyway, back to it. Yeah, by the way, this is his LinkedIn. You guys LinkedIn? Cole Allen, yeah. So game developer, engineer, scientist, teacher, obviously from LA or California as a whole, which was confirmed as well. And from Caltech, and then this is more comfortable. This is him again, teacher of the month. Is it confirmed it's actually him? That's him. Well, that's what everybody's lining up the name with who they saw in the photo. So again, this is all speculation based off of this photo, but if it's not him, this thing is life is about to get cooked. Yeah, that's true. That is true. Rosie, I don't know. It's on Twitter, so we'll see. Cooked, remember when Charlie got shot, the old man they grabbed, then they got cooked. Oh my God, bro, for like four days, it took people like four days. We got wasn't him. The press bro got air fried. They connected to the 9/11 and everything, bro. Yeah, yeah, they're looking for some kind of connection. Yeah. Oh, man, you got to be very careful in the news for his breaks. Yeah, obviously, not the biggest. Yeah, bro, that's why I don't like freak out or say any like wild shit, man. You've left the health. Like I reserve my judgment and analysis so I got like everything, you know? And on this rainy night and then you just look like a retard. Well, lunatic protests, screaming and all these weird boomer people that just have no lives. And they're just so angry. And you walk in and you get the arrogant media and you see, you know, we were sitting really close to CNN and stuff and it's just kind of a funny atmosphere anyway. And you're like, Trump's actually here. He's actually going to do it. I've been waiting for this for five years of his presidency for him to just lambast the media to their face. I was so excited for it. You know, I came down here for this. And then this happens and you're like, this is, I mean, this is, this is the picture of the left. This is, this is what we've done to the left. These people have been propagandized by the party, by the media to become this violent because it's for the political game of their system. Yeah. And this is what you get. You've chronicle did on Robsmith tonight, seven PM Eastern every week, not make sure you're watching that the Democrats have also prevented the Department of Homeland Security rock from having full funding for over 70 days. You're a final point. Perfect. Yeah. I mean, and that's just the, that's just the, you know, kind of the cherry on top of all of it. Yeah. You know, the, the, the, the protection angle, because certainly I don't know if it would have been any better if they were funded. I can't say that it would have been. Maybe it wouldn't have been. But this was a pitiful display of security. Okay. Again, it felt like Dr. New camera angle from the stage here. All right. I guess this is worth a second. Look at it. Because we haven't seen something. Oh, yeah. This is JD Vance kind of being altered off the stage. Okay. We'll be talking very soon. Looking at video, the shooter looking at video, this all unfolds hard to, uh, yeah. Let me pause this. Sorry. Go ahead. You're good. Vance. You're on the other side. I think he's already taken off. Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? That's an angle from the stage. The shooter service member gripped the shit out of Vance. Yeah. Fucking. Yeah. That's a different angle. Because obviously everybody saw the same angle from that camera on the left side, I think. So. Yeah. And uh, that this is the situation. And the president of the United States will be live. You can see at the bottom of the screen there. That is the White House briefing room. We're showing video above that. Okay. So from the briefing room. Okay. Um, Quote Thomas Allen search, uh, in Israel at three 12 EDT today screenshot. It's a real check it out on Google friends and filter Israel. Have. Bro, what the fuck? From over an hour ago. I'll check. I'll check. You were rushed off the stage along with the vice president and other dignitaries. And now they're going to try and stay face for the midterms by saying see how crazy the left. Sorry, vote Republican. Yeah. I assume that was what people were going to try and say. Yeah. I would add one other thing, which is, you know, it's easy to forget. These silly uh, Felix after Alexander, the great appreciate you guys with the gifted subs. The Erica Kirk was there as a VIP guest. Yeah. And I'm seeing reports that she was rushed out as well. And could you imagine a widow after your husband was assassinated just in September. And now you hear gunshots again at an event where there's all these politicians and high profile event. I mean, this, this obviously the, the violence has to stop, but also the dangerous rhetoric. It actually was not at an event last week that Vance went out because it was just too off for her to be there. And Carrie Lake is joining us now on the telephone. She was also in the room this evening there when shots rang out another attempted assassination in President Trump. Carrie, it's great to have you Bianca and Ed here. Just walk us through what you saw, what you heard when this was unfolded. Well, I, you know, I wish I could say I'm surprised, but the mood of the country, thanks to the fake news, you know, pushing hatred for so long, is what it is right now. And I will admit, when I walked into this event tonight, it was really looking forward to the president speaking tonight. I think he was going to have a, you know, knockout speech and that was going to be funny and a huge win for him. But I also knew I was walking into room of 90% of the people who despise the president. They're members of the fake news. And I expected to see scrutinizing of my ticket, my identification to be shown as if I were to, you know, show up at an event like I have many, I guess it was searched in Israel two days ago. Yeah, I guess it was searched in Israel two days ago. They checked their database. Interesting. This was so lax tonight. And I thought, wow, how weird. Like, they asked for my ticket. I pulled it out. I didn't even show them in front of the ticket. They saw the back of the ticket and they were like, fine, go on in. And, you know, let's think about it, I sat, I was surrounded by people who worked for CNN. Think what CNN has been spewing for years against the president. There's a lot of people who despise the president in that room and to have security that lax. We got feeded tonight and we started to, you know, talk to one another and we were eating our salad and looking forward to the president. Beautiful Melania. Trump, the first lady walked out with the president. Lady Vance was there, our vice president, every secretary of every major, you know, agency and the government was there. And all of a sudden some loud bangs were heard. I didn't recognize him as gunfire, but everybody hit the ground. We all hit the ground. I was sitting next to Chris Roddy and he said that was gunfire. And I looked up and I'm just about to post this on my social media and there were special forces, the secret service, I'm not sure from which branch of the military literally run tabletop to tabletop with massive weapons and clearing out the room. I saw Bobby Kennedy being rushed out.
President Biden was already rushed out by President was rushed out and there were incredible amounts of secret service military that were taking charge of the room. I don't know if they captured whoever with the instigator. They have. They have. He is in custody. There's a report though that an officer was shot in a bullet-resistant vest. He's expected to be okay, Carrie. Yes. But they shoot an easy custody. We have video of it up right now. The shooter is in custody, unclear. I will tell you. I'm sorry, but guys, I walked out and I walked out as a fleet. I'm sorry. He's a fool. Walking out next to Jake Tapper and I looked at him and I said, "How dare you? You have caused so much division in this country, pushing lies." You know, we're not going to call gaslighting anymore. You've lied to the people. How dare you do that? And I saw so many people from all of these news outlets who've just read abject lies about President Trump over the years. They're part to blame for this and I don't mean to get dramatic tonight. But I as an American mother and an American I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the fake. People are too harsh on me. I mean, I get it, but they're ripping on Erica right now, man. I always do. There's a video. There's a video her being ushered out and I guess she's trying to walk out next to somebody like a Jake Tapper and he's a good guy. Yeah. I need to ask the chat here. I'm media carried to your point in this story. And whether they tell the truth, go ahead. Yeah. Let's see. So the good life says, Miron, I always watch a little bros account. Okay. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Seaband's lifestyle. This is for sure an attempt to get his base slash fans back. What do you think? I don't believe in politics. I mean, look, I'll give light to the theory. Of course, this will bolster his image in some way. Make it seem like he's this martyr. Like he's always attacked and he always makes it on the other end. You can, of course, theorize in that direction. However, you know, a secret service, a member was shot. The guy was shot, you know, so that kind of foils that in a way. But I do think that Trump is very dislike. So people just want him dead, man. And these leftists hate him more than any other former Republican president that I've ever seen in my lifetime. So, you know, I get it. You know, people speculate. That's fine. I don't demonize it. But I just think this was likely a crazy leftist. But we don't know until everything really comes out in full. But I can see where you're coming from. Byclift in byclift and Holly says, shut up to the fraternal fright, making things come together. You two are better than mainstream media by the Myron, David's parents did it. By the way, Myron, David's parents did it. I think he's referring to the singer. Oh, his parents did something. He's referring to the case. Oh, I mean, well, yeah, his, he basically they caught him. He has a CP on his phone from that girl. Yeah. Yeah. Which was crazy. Yeah. Like tons of it. Allegedly. Thanks for the super chat. Guys. States. Great. Now, if he's just alerting people, you know, to the location of Collins is there idea that hey, I'm addressing this directly from Scott Duffy. He's a retired FBI supervisory special agent. And Scott is kind enough to join us. You could see some of the reporters in the briefing room and in gowns in black. Here's very quick. Just because it's kind of all over this is Erica Kirk being ushered out. Okay. Everybody's ripping on her. That's that. I mean, look, like people are, look, man, it's unfitely, man. I mean, she's dealt with her assassination from a husband. If there's someone that I would not like that, like literally, you know, it would make sense to cry like that. It's her, bro. Like, is that a public place that she hears gunshots again? You know, I mean, so yeah, some sources are saying he had both a shotgun and a handgun, but we'll wait for that to be confirmed. Yeah. Everyone is screaming. She's so fake, bro. Nigga, like her husband was killed in front of thousands of people. Like, and then she heard gunshots again, not even a year later. What the fuck? Like, that's a very reasonable response, given the facts and circumstances. She did in the middle of the correspondence there. Like people have no fucking, like passion or empathy or whatever. Like fucking weirdos, bro. Like niggas are retarded. See, people were struggling to take cover. And look, they're not mutually exclusive. Both of the facts exist at the same time, just to supplement that. Obviously, after the whole court situation, she was oddly back into action. You know, get the fuck out of my chat. You bitch ass. Like, get the fuck out of here. You fucking enjoy the shadow room. Time to send you to the shadow. The future is. You're a low IQ fucking anti-Semite guy, bro. You make us real nigga. Anti-Semites look like shit. You fucking dumbass. Okay. I'm a high IQ anti-Semite. You're a low IQ one. You make us look like fucking retards, which are stupid shoes. Doose, doose, doose. You niggas are like the Alex Jones fucking meme. Joe, Joe, Joe. It's like, bro, what is wrong with y'all? Are you stupid? And that's what my dude said, else if I get the fuck out of my chat, you bitch ass. Like, get out the fuck out of here. Time to send you to the shadow room. The future is mine. Oh, man. God forbid that I'm a fucking human being. And like, I feel sorry for a woman whose husband was fucking murdered in front of billions of people on video. Go ahead, Red. No, I was just going to say, look, she obviously took to the media very quickly after it happened and seemed okay. And of course, that's not the most sightly thing that has happened since the assassination. But at the same time, I mean, her husband was killed, you know, for better or worse. Obviously, conspiracize and say, oh, well, she did air with, you know, that's neither here nor there nor is it confirmed. But what we do know is she's no stranger to these, you know, public shootings and things like that. So it would make sense that she's a little bit more emotional. That's all we're saying. Yeah, we go off evidence, bro. That's why I'm going to go to the trial and look at what's going on. I don't know what actually happened. I told you guys already, the official narrative has problems, right? But the conspiracy theories have problems too. We don't have a definitive real timeline. Okay. So sorry for reserving my judgment until I have all the facts. My bad. I know some of your retires like to put the fucking tinfoil hat on and make a judgment call right away. But I'm not. We want to get it correct. You know, I want to get it correct. The conclusions, stupid fucks. Niggas are retarded, bro. There were very effectile robuses among those reporting now that their initial reports are the attempted shooter at this dinner is 31 year old. Yes, Kirk was a big Israel shale. He was. It's one of the things I disagree with them on. But I can still feel sorry for him and being forgetting murder in front of everybody. Like what the fuck? Thomas Allen from Torrance, California, and that he is the gentleman in custody that we've seen video of Chris. And there are other online and we these are initial reports who want to be careful and not speculate. Initial reports suggesting that he's an educator in Torrance, California. And obviously there's been a lot of online hate directed at this president. I'll leave it at that for now. Presumably the president's been briefed on these details. Chris, but the shooter is alive right now. So they're going to be able to question him and other situations like Butler, the shooter was killed and we didn't get more information. Your thoughts? Look, I don't know who I could. The person is involved. I don't want to I want to reserve comments. We hear, but obviously there's a lot of hate online. There's a media propelling a lot of crazy. Wow, so this is a part of a larger timeline. I'm reading this now. It's just kind of something that we don't realize until we kind of look at it on paper. So you have Thomas Brooks in Butler. Then you have Ryan Ralph, the golf course situation. The Marlago issue. Remember when we covered that when he tried to reach Marlago with a believe a shotgun. And then now of course, it's dinner. So that's like four times now. There was some sort of attempt on Trump's life. Right. Absolutely. And Chris, you know, we had a, we have that said, Graham was there. They were very concerned. We had the British ambassador or our table. But, you know, they're all concerned about the high security risk around the president. Franklin, I know is very, you know, the praying for the president at this time. He told me that he could continue to work as a matter of situation. You know, there's so many festivities planned this year. Of course, for 250th America, you know, this is a time where there's going to be a lot of events that Americans will want to go to big crowds. I mean, there were some. We spoke to Rob Schmitt a few minutes ago. He felt security wasn't really up to what he thought the level could have been. You know, was there anything you took away with all the dignitaries that were there with you at our table this evening? You're walking in. Did you feel that security was sufficient? Or did anything? I could hear his gunshots. There were some people that said, Oh, there were no gunshots. So I heard at least two, maybe three. Trump's taken a while. And they were probably because he's getting very, very intentional directions. Not the same thing he's not supposed to say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know the shooter's brother actually. There's also online. There's some bullshit. Megan McCain among others is saying, I don't want to hear one more bleeping criticism of Trump's new ballroom at the White House, meaning, you know, the president's taking I had to shout out a room. A bunch of niggas. Uh, enjoy it, guys. All of you guys, I got shout out around. Niggas got sent to the Netherrealm. A lot of heat for having private donors put your soul is mine now.
I gotta find a way to get the sound effects that you can hear on bro god damn it there in the president has made the point oh there's a way actually josey was telling me how to do it i gotta figure i gotta get us head up not only will be beautiful as he says but it will be secure and there'll be a bunker under it and that the threat matrix Chris has changed a lot in just the last few years new photo of suspect close up okay well i don't know if it's you know what okay let's see if we were right let's confirm i got a ballroom. I'm not sure how that had with this president could be anywhere. I have a thirty-three not sure the ballroom. Really rate that situation. The press has a right to criticize the ballroom if they want. It's a free country, right? But, you know, the hate about the president. By the way, not the jump off the topic, but you ratioed Patrick Medevi pretty bad when he asked who he would like on the podcast. So, see what happens there. That's interesting. Yeah, bro. If I go, I'll bring you with me, bro. Yeah, that'll be what I'll be in the back. Identify it as California. Okay, as mothers or whatever do not. Yeah. All right. So we had the right guy. So it looks okay. So, we're not going to get sued for defamation. Fantastic. Shooters of teacher. Yep. They're getting ready for this. What the fuck? You got banned? Why? I don't know. I just saw that as well. What the fuck? So he's mixed race. I don't know. Maybe you're telling somebody they're chimping out. But he's been calm lately. I haven't seen any crazy clips. What the, of course, bro. This has been a man. This has been so retarded, bro. Yeah, she's an idiot. Yeah. So for those of you who don't know, she's like some pro-Israeli Zionist who Trump sometimes glazes Debra Lee. She posted a selfie right after the shooting and then got absolutely smoked for it because of how inappropriate it was. And then she tried to delete it and then make a video about how there wasn't any sort of security check in which there was. So yeah, you got that. But Twitter is lighting her ass up. Well, crazy, bro. Oh, and then the last one. All right. Okay, let's see here. Okay, I can't find the thing. Okay, thing to see a man. All right. Trump is live. Make a full screen taken down by some very brave members of secret service. And they acted very quickly. And I've just released for purposes of transparency, clarity. I've ordered it to be put out. You probably have it by now. Put out on truth and put out on many of the platforms. It takes showing the violence of this thug that attacked our constitution and also showing how quickly secret service and law enforcement acted on our country's behalf really did a great job. One officer was shot, but say by the fact that he was wearing obviously a very good bulletproof vest. He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun. And the vest did the job. I just spoke to the officer and he's doing great. He's great shape. He is a very high spirits. And we told him we love him and respect him. And he's a very proud guy. He's very proud of what he does, secret service agent. And we looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight. And I will say, you know, it's not a particularly secure building. And I didn't want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room. And it's much more secure. It's got its drone proof. It's bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That's why secret service. That's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons. I'll let them talk a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before. But everyone knows a tremendous debt of gratitude to the courage of law enforcement, the law enforcement and working with the DC police and just spoke with the mayor. And when we're finished, the police chief is going to take over and discuss it also from their viewpoint. But they also performed exactly as they were supposed to when you see the attacker in different positions, but you also see the attacker totally subdued and under control. So as you know, this is not the first time in the past couple of years that our Republicans been attacked by a would-be assassin who sought to kill in Butler, Pennsylvania, less than two years ago. You know, I'll know that story. And in Palm Beach, Florida, a few months after that came close. We really had, again, we had some great work done by law enforcement. But in light of this evening's events, I asked that all Americans recommit with their hearts and resolving our difference peacefully. We have to resolve our differences. I will say you had Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Conservatives, Liberals and Progressives. Those words are interchangeable, perhaps, but maybe they're not. But yet everybody in that room big crowd, record-setting crowd. There was a record-setting group of people. And there was a tremendous amount of love and coming together. I watched and I was very, very impressed by that. But we were first laid in our, taken very well-care, very quickly, very quickly rushed off the stage. Vice President J.D. Vance was here. It was, likewise, beautifully done. I was, he was just saying how quickly everybody acted law enforcement, secret service in particular in this case. But law enforcement, Marco had the same thing. Pete was there. Pete didn't want any help. He didn't want anybody to help. He doesn't want anybody to help him, but he did get something new. And I think you also said that it was very impressive. So with that, I'd like to ask Todd Blanche to come up, say a few words and tell you it's already underway. That's it. He posted that on to his apartment. I guess he lives in California. Yes, this guy is definitely mixed race. Black and white, no doubt. And we don't want things like this to happen. I think it's very important that I say, though, and I told the representatives of the evening that it did such a beautiful job with such a beautiful evening. And again, they're talking about free speech in our Constitution. That's what it's all about. Not just White House correspondents. It's really, it was really based on free speech in our Constitution. But I said very importantly that point of the dinner, yeah. We'll do it again within the next 30 days. It will make it bigger and better and even nicer. So I just want to thank everybody that was involved. I also want to thank the press, the media. You've been very responsible in your coverage. I will say I've been seeing what's been out. You've been very responsible. So Todd Blanche, I'd like to say a few words. I know we're going to have cash. And then you're going to go on and we can ask, I guess we can take a couple of questions. I want to thank the first lady for hold. No questions for the president. Traumatic experience for her. Get that old nigger back. There's a lot of action taking place up there very quickly. But again, the response time was really incredible. And we're going to reschedule. We're going to do it again. We're not going to let anybody take over our society. We're not going to cancel things out because we can't do that. We wanted to say tonight, I will tell you, I fought like hell this day. But there was protocol that said police, sir, because they didn't know a lot of there was a lot of action going on and they didn't know could there be probably a loan shooter, but we'll find out. We'll find out very quickly. They have it very well under control. So I want to thank everybody very much. And Todd Blanche, please turn it general. Thank you. New AG up. Yeah, he's going to be cut. He's acting what he's going to get it. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Tonight, you saw the very worst and the very best of this country. You saw the very worst by the actions of that coward that the president just talked about. But you also saw the very best because you saw law enforcement do exactly what they're supposed to do. And you'll see the videos come out. I expect very shortly. And you'll see law enforcement do exactly what we want them to do. And so I echo what Mr. President, what President Trump just said that we are extraordinarily grateful and appreciative of the men and women of law enforcement that did their jobs. And I including one who was who was injured. This investigation is ongoing. I expect you will see charges filed shortly. The charges should be self-evident, given the conduct. But as you'll hear, there will be multiple charges around the shooting, around the possession of firearms and everything else that we can get on this guy. The investigation is obviously ongoing and just started. There is federal law
law enforcement already working on search warrants and doing their job, and I don't want to get ahead of them, and don't want to get ahead of the work that they're doing even as we speak. Director Patel and I were just on the crime scene a short while ago, and everybody in this room should rest assured that the Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI, Secret Service, everybody's on the scene doing their job. I know that the police chief is going to give an update from the scene as soon as we're finished here. And I obviously will lead the details of what they have learned to him. But in the meantime, I just want to thank everybody in this room for the courage, and I want to thank President Trump for his words, and I promise you, justice will be served. Thank you. Dr. Fidel. Thank you, General. Thank you, Mr. President. The President's absolutely right. We saw the best resolve of American law enforcement because you, Mr. President, inspire them 24/7, 365. You give them the resources that they need, and you know they know that you have their back. This thing is not going to get fired, bro. And that is a changing dynamic in this country, not going to get fired. Yeah, I saw that circulating. I saw that circulating. You need to get fired, bro. Swiftly. Subdued and takedown the suspect, and safeguard the lives of the FBI. And for those of you under Iraq, this is the director of the FBI. Thanks to our interagency partnership with the Department of Homeland Security and the Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI was rapidly deployed onto the scene, took over the evidence response unit, is examining all the ballistics that were found on scene to include the long gun and the shell casings. We are conducting witness interviews as we speak. You will hear from our team on the scene there with the mayor and the head of the FBI field division there. But please know what the Attorney General has just said, rains no truer. You saw the very best of America tonight, the very best unite us at a time of uncertainty, because we have leadership here with the President, the Vice President, that backs law enforcement and the men and women that I shook their hands on the scene today could not have been prouder to show up on scene. And as the Attorney General said, make no mistake, we are conducting witness interviews. If you have any information, any information whatsoever related to this event, 1-800-CALL-FBI. 1-800-CALL-FBI. No piece of information is too small. No piece of information is inadequate. We will evaluate it all. We will also be conducting interviews of those that were there. And if any of those individuals have information, please come forward to the law enforcement of the FBI or the Metropolitan Police Department. We will be examining this individual's background thoroughly that process has already started. And we are going to ensure that he was either a lone wolf actor or anyone else that was responsible. We will analyze all evidence immediately to make sure that we safeguard this country. Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, thank you for your leadership, Attorney General and Homeland Secretary Marlon. Thank you for your partnership in law enforcement. Thank you. So really quick here. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Madam Chairman, I just want to say you did a fantastic job. What a beautiful evening and we're going to reschedule. (applause) And after that, it's very tough for her to ask a killer question, right? But you have done a fantastic job, please. Mr. President, I appreciate it. As you mentioned, it all happened so quickly. And I wonder, especially because, unfortunately, you have experience with these sorts of threats. In that moment, when you realize there was a threat in service agents, we're telling us to get down. Can you just write what was going through your mind how you were feeling in that moment? It's a very good question, actually. It's always shocking when something like this happens. Happened to me a little bit. And there we go. That never changes. The fact we were sitting right next to each other, the first lady on my right. And I heard a noise and sort of thought it was a tray. I thought it was a tray going down. I've heard that many times and it was pretty loud of noise. And it was from quite far away. He hadn't reached the area at all. They really got them. But so it was quite far away, but it was a gun. And some people really understood that pretty quickly other people didn't. I was watching to see what was happening, probably certainly going down even faster. Malania was very cognizant, I think, of what happened. I think she knew immediately what happened. She was saying, that's a bad noise. And we were whisked away along with other people, but we were really whisked away. And again, the performance of the Secret Service and the police, all of the law enforcement I thought was really good. So it was very quick. There was a lot of time to be thinking, because it was a matter of seconds before we were out the door and gone into an area. We very much, and you wanted to, we very much wanted to continue it, because I don't like to let these sick people, these slugs, these horrible, horrible people change the fabric of our life, change the course of what we do. So we hold out there, we held out right till the end, but they didn't want to take a chance and I understand there was what the hell. Uh-oh. We just lose the light. We just lost the feed. Yep. Let me, uh, let me go somewhere else. Let's see. Let's go to Fox, maybe. A symbol of his weapon somewhere on site at the hotel. What do you think about that? Fix nice. Yep. Got it. I asked respectfully. Why do you think? This keeps happening, too. Well, you know, I've studied assassinations and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most, you take a look at the people Abraham Lincoln. I mean, you go through the people that have gone through this when they got them, but the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones that they go after. They don't go after the ones that don't do much because they like it that way. And when you look at the people that have either, whether it was at a temp or a successful attempt, they're very impactful people to take a look at the names here, the big names. And I hate to say I'm honored by that, but I've done a lot, we've done a lot, we've taken this country and we were a laughing stock for years and now with the hottest country anywhere in the world. We've changed this country. And there are a lot of people that are not happy about that. So I think that's the answer, Peter. And Professor Butler, your team, for a while, rethought outdoor events. Yeah. Do you think that you now need to rethink your door? No. Well, but then you just don't do events. Now I can't do that. I have to, you know, it is what it is. We have to do it. The room was very, very secure. You know, he charged from 50 yards away, so he was very far away from the room. And what did you think when he saw the video of how fast he was moving? He was moving. He was really moving. And the reaction time was great. Boy, those guys, they had their guns run literally by the time he was there. They were shooting. That's right. I thought they were very impressive. And if I didn't, I'd let you know, you know, I'm not going to be, I would not stand for that. I'm going to do a very impressive -- thank you, President Trump, and thank you for updating us on the suspect earlier. Were you aware of any threats -- were you with your team with your very threats beforehand? And do you believe you were the target of this tonight? I guess. I mean, these people look -- they're crazy. They're crazy. And, you know, you never know. It was very far away from me. I had to go through a lot. We had resources all over. We had resources sitting at tables, literally, in disguise, sitting -- maybe at your table. Who knows? But we had people all over the room, so he had a long way to go. That was really a first line of defense, and they got them. And they really -- you know, they acted incredibly -- no, we have -- we've had no -- there was no notification. We had no idea. Go ahead. Do you have any political motivations from this? Well, you never know. Now, we'll be able to tell you that maybe by tomorrow or the next day, you know, he's in custody, and they're asking him a lot of questions. I guess they're going over Todd, and they're already at his apartment. He lives in California, and they'll be there over there, so they'll be able to tell you. Thank you, Kaydler. Did the suspect say anything, or was he wearing anything that would elect some type of motive here? No. I mean, he was a guy who looked pretty evil when he was down. You know, they had him down. He was fighting hard. He was a -- obviously, in my opinion, a sick person -- who would do that but a sick person. But I think you're going to find everything about him, no reason to talk about him now. But tomorrow, at this time, long before this time, you're going to know a lot of things about him. He was a -- they seemed to think he was a lone wolf, and I feel that too. How are you concerned about U.S. Secret Service protection ability? We saw several of the details take minutes to be escorted out the room. No, they acted -- Yeah, I agree, man. Not going to lie. That wasn't the best response. I mean, I'm the one -- and Mark, when you would agree with that, I think -- I'm the one that would complain -- you don't have to complain from me. I would be complaining. I'd be up here right now saying they didn't do their job, oh, believe me, because, you know, it's my life. And I want to live, because I want to make this country great. That's why I want to live. But when you're impactful, they go after you. When you're not impactful, they leave you alone. Okay, couple of more. A couple of more. A couple of more. Go ahead, please. Is there any indication that this shooting could have been linked to the war in Iran? I don't think so. But you never know. We're going to know a lot. We have the best people in the world working on it, and we're going to know a lot, please.
You, as well as some of us who have covered Butler experienced another horrific day two years ago. What's -- what felt similar? You know, you had the first lady with you today. What felt different? And you have another two-plus years in office. Are you concerned about something like this? How could you -- Well, I can't be concerned. I can only get great people. They did the job, a much -- in my opinion, a much better job than Butler. Butler had one weak spot that we all know about. Somebody should have been up there. But even Butler, we had a hour sniper on our side within 4.2 seconds from a distance of about 400 yards, one shot, and he was gone. And if he didn't do it now, you know, he's David. The name was David. I say, "Hello, David. Every time I see him, David." I like you very much, David. But think of that. Now, if he doesn't hit him, and he hit him right between the eyes from 400 yards without any notice, nobody knew. He heard a sound. He looked over, and there was actually a tree that was somewhat in his way. You know the story very well, and he aimed, he fired. And if he didn't do that, beyond me, you would have had a lot more people killed who lost one great person and two people very badly hurt. They were okay now. But, no, that was -- so in a sense, you know, they -- it was pretty amazing the job they did. But they did have that one week's spot, as you know, they should have had that covered -- tonight they had everything covered very quickly. And he was fast. He was running full blast. And they got him before they got any further. I was very far away. You know, he was -- he hadn't anywhere close to breach the doors of the ballroom. The ballroom was sealed. And everybody in there -- that's why, once those doors opened, they didn't want to do tonight. If the doors weren't opened, we could have probably done it tonight. I think we're much better off rescheduling. Yeah, please. Mr. President, for you and perhaps law enforcement as well, what is the level of confidence that this was a loan actor and has the suspect made any statements to police while in custody? I think it's just my -- look, it's my profession. We have great professionals up here and outside that have been working with us. My impression is he was a loan wolf, whacked job. He's a crazy people. He's a crazy people. And they have to be dealt with. We had that -- in the second attempt, as you know, and he's spending life in prison. Because if you let him out, they'll probably, you know, if he serves 10 years or 15 years, you let him out or probably try to get in with somebody else. There's sick people. We have a lot of sick people. But you're going to know, I think very shortly, you're going to know Todd a lot about him. You're going to know a lot about him. Yeah, a couple of more. (laughter) Yeah, please go ahead. Are you concerned about political violence? These could be politically motivated? Oh, violence. I'm concerned about everything. Look, but I can't be so concerned that you can't function. No, I'm here. It's a dangerous profession. You know, I tell the -- race car drivers. I think it's very dangerous. So if you take 1 percent and then take about 10 percent of 1 percent just to break it down very easily, they die. So much less than 1 percent, 10 percent of 1 percent, I think bull riding is very dangerous. If you take about the same 10 percent of 1 percent, much less than 1 percent, but if you take presidents it's 5.8 percent and about 8 percent are shot at. So nobody told me this was such a dangerous profession. If Marco would have told me maybe I wouldn't have run, maybe I would have said, "I'll take a pass." No, it's a dangerous profession, but I don't view it that way. Look, I'm here to do a job as part of the job. It is a dangerous -- I can't imagine that there's any profession. It's more dangerous, but I love the country. And I'm very proud of the job we've done. You see what's happened. We have a great country. We've got, I think, the most successful, the hottest country anywhere in the world. This happened over a period of just a year. And we're going to do great things, but with that come risks. There's no question about it. Yeah. (laughter) I mean, there's been so much political violence, not just aimed at yourself, but at other members of Congress, state house speakers, you name it. Is that just a cost of doing business? Yeah. Do politics in America anymore? What else are we going to say about it? Yeah, we're not the only country. You look at this great violence with all countries. I was talking to somebody from another country today, and they have numerous assassinations of political figures all over the world. You look at South America and South America. It's like some of the numbers are just terrific. It's dangerous, it's dangerous stuff, whether it's here or someplace else. No country is immune. No country. Good question. (laughter) At this point? Well, probably if I decided to just not do much, let everybody rip us off and take advantage of us. Look, we're leading the world in trade now. We're leading the world in the military. We're the greatest military in the world. They rebuilt it at my first term. And now we use it because we have no choice. We can't let, as an example, Iran. We can't let them get a nuclear weapon. Everything will be peanuts compared to that if they ever were given a nuclear weapon. And they'd use it to Marco and I were talking about it today. They would use it without even hesitation. We can't do that. It was a shame. I said, oh, boy, look at the numbers. We just broke 50,000 in the Dow. We just broke 7,000 in the S&P. They said we couldn't do it in seven years, in five years, four years. They were saying maybe in five or six years. And we did it in one year. And I called everybody together. I called all of these people and others. And they said, we have to take a little journey. I say to do this. We just had the great number. We just broke 50,000. It wasn't supposed to happen during my term. Wasn't reachable. Did it in one year. And I said, we're going to have to make it a journey to Iran. Well, this dude turns every answer into a bragging pass. If we don't do it, we had the B2 bombers think about it. I terminated in the first term, the Obama agreement. The Iran nuclear agreement, which was a disaster. That was a road to a nuclear weapon. How did we get the JCPOA? So you know, when you do things like that, you become a target. If I wasn't doing that, I guess I'd be a lot less of a target. But I'm honored to be, okay, one more question. (laughter) Go ahead. Go ahead. Thank you, President Trump. Do you know how the gun was brought into the hotel? And also, how does this event impact you as the leader of our country? Do you think it will change? I like not to think about it. I leave a pretty normal life, considering, you know, it's a dangerous life. I think I'm -- I think I handled it as well as -- as well as it can be handled. I think a lot of other people, you know, you read stories where they become basket cases, to be honest with you. I'm not a basket case. I take it -- I really take it as it is. I do it for the country. I'm not doing it for any other reason. I have a -- First Lady was doing a terrific job. She loves the country. And she recognizes it better than anybody. She's told me numerous times. She said, "You are in a dangerous job." But that goes along with her, too. I mean, it's dangerous for her, too. We sat there tonight. We heard that noise. And it was either a tray or a bullet. I thought -- I was hoping it was a tray, but it wasn't. And again, we had some very great people doing the great jobs. So we're very proud of them and happy with them. I just want to thank everybody. They will be able to give you all that information as to the names and everything else. Most of -- I think we released the names already. Most of you would have it. But his name -- we appreciate it. I see so many tuxedos and beautiful dresses. It was a little different evening than we thought. But we're going to do it again and we're going to -- we have a great chairman who we're so proud of. And we have to make it better. We'll make it safer, I guess, right? But we're going to make it even better. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you. (inaudible) I want to hear from her about it. Do you want to say something? Okay. (inaudible) Right. So many of the people that come to Rome -- in fact, I'm watching you. You demonstrated courageous leadership and thank God you're an icon. Thank you again. What is the message that you want to give to the world? Thank you. Come again. What kind of fit measures can you take from here on something? Well, what you can do -- look, I don't care how many people you have, how good they are. They can be the greatest people. You have the greatest security in history. If you have a whack job that's got a brain, but it's a little bit distorted or a lot distorted, they can make trouble. I would say, Pete, right? You know, they can make trouble. Some of these people are of genius level IQ and they're nuts, so it can be trouble. So you do absolutely the best. You get the best -- we have the best people. Well, look, it was proven tonight. He started running from 50 yards and he was fast. He was like a blur on tape. That nigga was fast. I have the footage here after this. Yeah. The way they got him. Because a lot of people would be looking and saying, "Oh, there it is." Look, look. Yep. A weird feeling. A run through, though. They would let him get through, but they didn't let him get through. They drew those guns so fast. Look like -- they look like Matt Dillan. They look like --
Somebody would be what they were doing, what do I do? But it comes with a territory. And if you want to do a great job, I really believe that. And you take a look at what's happened to some of our greatest presidents, and it doesn't happen to people that don't do anything. And it's not going to deter me from winning the war in Iran. I don't know if that had anything to do with. I really don't think so. Based on what we know. Iran did not need to be brought up at all during this entire press conference. Spent five minutes talking about it. Okay. So I guess let's give our thoughts very quickly. Yeah. Here, firstly, I want to show you guys if you got a chance to see it already then whatever. But if case you missed it very quickly, I thought this was funny. This is the, I suppose, CCTV footage from the hotel. I guess lobby or somewhere outside, of course, a bunch of security personnel, secret service police were here. And you can see the alleged shoot will actually the shooter running through here. So here he is. And looks like this guy took aim one behind him and then whoever's in front. Probably shot him, took him down and then rendered aid. So I guess his plan or his whole MO was to just sprint through and miraculously get inside and get a shot on the president. Yeah. Yeah. So good thing that got him. Because I mean, if they missed those shots, maybe there wasn't much ground to cover left. But I just wanted to quickly say, I already smell and I'll reach out here in a moment. I know I got a bunch. I already smell two conspiracies that are going to be created out of the midst of thin air from this. Which is Trump plan this so he can have an excuse for the ballroom because the Hilton hotel is not secure enough. Okay, that's the first thing I imagine a lot of people are going to run with. Which, you know, to the credit of that theory is not too bad, I guess. And then the other theory is this is some sort of attempt to bolster his unfrightened wavering faith. And so that the Democrats are violent. We need to make sure we keep the house in the Senate. We can't let these people win in the midterms. They try to kill me four times, whatever it is. So I mean, that's kind of what I see is going to be weaponized from this instance. Of course, it's hard to say now because all of the information about, I guess what was his name? Alan Cole will come out tomorrow, probably sooner than what the time is now. So we'll see what comes about. But it seems like this was just some deranged leftist who hated Trump, right? You guys from California mixed race leading heart progressive. And this is kind of the M.O. We were talking about this two days ago on stream that, you know, progressives have to progress their ideology via violence. Because of course, that's the only thing they can kind of string to in order to effectuate some sort of change. But yeah, that's what I sense is going to come about in the next 24 to 48 hours. And of course, Trump is going to use this as a bragging right all the way into November. But unfortunately for him, it's still not going to get into the fact that the war on Iran was a horrible idea. But I mean, what do you think? What are your thoughts initially? I know it's fresh, but anything kind of strike as weird for you. I really want to get this guy's motivation. They're doing search warrants. I'm interested to see what they're going to find. It's actually they're moving very fast. The fact that they already got warrants getting it hitting his house right now. So. So yeah, I'm Lewis 26, bro. I got home from work at eight CSE and you did. I said, I'm about to end the stream. And then boom, it should happen. Yeah, I'm still here. Can't stop Chris says. Now they're trying to scrub it from the site. Okay, there's real thing. This is like a rerum is messy. Bro just posted. I can't tell his girlfriend was seen hiding and holding has another man during the shooting. Yes, all that. The trumpet temps hit hits at Visum has WWF staging all over it. Obviously wearing a very good bullet professor made in the USA Trump voice. Yeah, I'm fucking hilarious. Yeah, bros, bros hilarious to do. He's just. Yeah. Yeah, the most entertaining president.

Yo, I was going to show. Well, I mean, I don't know if it's confirmed that this guy's photos is really him. Do we have full confirmation that this is the guy, the mixed race guy that we showed earlier? Yeah, that's that's got to be him. Yeah, because Trump showed the president is true social of him handcuffed. Oh, yes, correct. Correct. So this is him. Let's pull this up because got a lot of people who are probably just tuning in. So this is the shooter and it's no longer a legend. Of course, this is the photo that Trump put on truth social and typical Trump fashion. So this is him on the ground. Obviously, after being apprehended and or shot, I guess he was shot. Yeah. And then let's see. So I'm on actually had this post up as well. All right. So my chest is mine. Your mic is very low. Fuck you. You're trolling. Enjoy the shot around. Time to send you. And then. This is LinkedIn. And also public records show that he donated to Kamala Harris's campaign previously. And then this is a close up picture of him. And moving forward teacher of the month award. Somebody pulled this from some sort of social. But yeah, this seems to be the guy. This is him here, Cole Allen. And it matches up very well with Trump's picture of him kissing the ground when he was apprehended by secret service and police. Yeah, that's the guy we got African American kind of, I guess, seems to be mixed race. Oh, we got what's it called? It looks like the chief of police for DC is on right now. Oh, let's take a listen. Yeah. And then rushed a secret service checkpoint in a lobby at the hotel. Secret service agents stop the suspect. An agent was injured and transported to a local hospital where the agent is receiving care. The suspect is also transported to a local hospital where he is being evaluated. The president returns safely to the White House as you know. We are so very thankful to members of law enforcement who did their jobs tonight and made sure that all guests were safe. We have no reason to believe at this time that anyone else was involved. I want to turn to the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department Chief Carol to provide a law enforcement update and specifics. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Oh, that's the mayor, my bad. That's the mayor. This is the chief police department. This afternoon is the evening members of the United States Secret Service and the Metropolitan Police Department. We're here at the Washington Hotel for a site detail for the correspondence center. As the mayor mentioned at approximately 836 tonight, an individual charged a US Secret Service checkpoint here in the lobby area of the hotel. He was armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. As he ran through that checkpoint, members of law enforcement from the United States Secret Service intercepted that individual. This is a very preliminary investigation at this point. We do know that law enforcement exchange gunfire with the individual. We do know that a US Secret Service uniform division officer was struck in his vest. He was transported to local hospital for treatment. He seemed to be in good spirits at this time. The suspect in this case, he was not struck by gunfire. However, he was transported to a local hospital to be evaluated. Again, we're very early in the investigation. We have members of the United States Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the FBI here to continue to investigate this matter. But at this point, it does appear he is a lone actor, a lone government. It does not appear to be any sort of danger to the public at this time. How are we? Oh, you're muted, bro. You're muted. You're muted. Ninja, you're muted. Whatever we are. No, no, I'm muted on purpose. Okay, I messed up on my stream. It was just my camera for like three minutes. Oh, okay. To get this matter. At this point, I will turn it over to, I believe, the FBI. Hi, good evening. I'm Derek Cox. I'm the assistant director and charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office. The American public should be proud of the quick response, and her
heroic actions from law enforcement officers tonight to keep the American public safe. Their actions are absolutely heroic. The public should also rest assured that there will be no stone unturned during this investigation. The FBI currently has our joint terrorism task force here on scene, along with our criminal division, our crisis response team, and agents from across the country are working on any leads that may come in in this investigation. Anyone with tips in this investigation should call 1-800-CALL-FBI. Thank you. >> My name is Sean Kern with the Directorate of Secret Service. Tonight we saw exactly what our brave men and women do each and every day to protect our protect these is not easy and I will tell you that they performed admirably. We got to see what they do and that individual when he charged a checkpoint was apprehended. It shows that our multilayered protection works and I'm grateful to our partners that help assist us with building these sites and protecting these sites. Very fortunate that this officer is alive, is being observed, and I'm grateful that the President reached out to this officer and spoke with him earlier. I ask everybody to pray for him and all of our officers and agents that were involved, and I will tell you we will continue with the mission. Thank you. >> Judge Bureau. I'm Janine Pyram, the United States Attorney. Right now the defendant is being charged with 2 counts, 924 C, using a firearm during a crime of violence. >> Yeah, you said it. >> And a second crime under 1-11, which is assault on the federal- >> Hey, let's go. >> Call it. The same charges. What they might do when they interview them is they're going to add another charge probably to the assassination of a president if he admits to it. >> The officer using a dangerous weapon. >> Or if they find proof like a manifest or some shit like that. >> Now as you all know, there was an individual, a uniform secret service officer who was shot, unfortunately he is doing all right and he will be fine. But it is clear based upon what we know so far that this individual was intent on doing as much harm and as much damage as he could. And thankfully because of the checkpoint right outside the ballroom, where thousands of people were situated to hear the president of the United States. Because that checkpoint worked, there was no one who was injured when it was clear where this defendant was going. Now I want to make one comment as a participant, someone who was in the ballroom, who came this evening to be part of a very lovely event at the White House correspondence center. I for the first time was in a situation where there were shots fired, shots heard, and a whole room when silent. When I lifted my head and when I looked up, every law enforcement officer was out there. As we all had our heads down, thousands of them. These are the men and women every day who do what they do silently and they do it with courage and with dignity. Thank God for our partners, the FBI, the Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police, all of them tonight acted so quickly that they prevented what could have been a horrific event where we were all sitting there in one room. The defendant will be arraigned on Monday in federal district court, but make no mistake. There will be many more charges based on the case is 100% going federal first. On the information that we are learning in this very fluid situation, thank you. So at this point what we know is we know the individual charged a checkpoint with a fire on his hand. We know he was running in the direction of the ballroom that the president was in as well as other cabinet members, so what his specific motivation was, we can't stay at this point. However, as we continue to investigate that, we'll continue to work towards that. I mean, what we have here is a multilayer approach that director spoke about it. We have officers on the outside of the Metropolitan Police Department, the escort, the inside portion of any presidential site is handled by the Secret Service and law enforcement partners. This is a multilayer approach. The point of this checkpoint is to intercept individuals that were there and what we see in this case is when he reached that checkpoint, Secret Service agents and law enforcement engaged immediately. They were able to bring him into custody and prevent anyone from being harmed. So as you can imagine, this is very early in the investigation, so you know, the things we're looking into is his background vehicle, those are all things that the FBI, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Secret Service are working together to determine, is there anything else that's available? So I would imagine as we continue to go through this investigation, there will be additional search warns and things of that nature as the investigation progresses. At this point, he was not known to the Metropolitan Police Department, I can tell you that. Right here, there are multiple other parties and events happening associated with this weekend tonight. Is there any reason to believe that there will be security concerns at those events or their preparations being made to locally to protect those activities? Yeah, absolutely not. So we have no indication this is an isolated incident with one individual is the information that we do have. However, we do have additional officers across the city that are giving special attention. We do know there were some after parties and events that are planned that we would be providing coverage for those events. I'm not exactly 100% familiar with this building. I do know in this incident tonight, I know there was a security plan that was developed by the Secret Service that the Metropolitan Police Department assisted with, and I know that security plan did work this evening. Right here, we do know the president was inside of the ballroom. We know there was a cab and many guests in there. Who was specifically targeting at this point, that's part of the investigation. We do know that he was armed with a shotgun when he ran through that checkpoint. So that would look like a long weapon in video. All right. So now we got a little bit more description. It's it was like a makeshift shotgun. Earlier you said there was an exchange. Did the suspect fire any shots and did the chat? That's not us. That's this fucking guy's breathing on the mic. Which weapon? He was shot. Yeah. Obviously, we're only a couple hours into this incident. So we don't have that level of information. The FBI's evidence response team is here. They're processing the scene. So as the investigation develops, all that information we can figure out with the ballistics. The ATF is also on scene here with us. The suspect did or did not fire a shot. Sure. So again, it's very preliminary. Information we do believe he did. However, as the investigation determines, we'll pull the shell casings, we'll be able to get more information as we review more evidence. We're very early on the investigation. Right. We can make a couple more right here and right here and one more over here. Thank you so much. So, the President said that he lost their tweet about our event within 30 days, given what happened tonight. Any sense of additional security drivers might be put in place to ensure that the report does not happen now. I'll put all the questions in the service. Yep. This is what we plan for every day. So we take each and every case, and we evaluate it, and we do site assessments. And that's why we go out and build these sites per what the event is. All I know is he's going to use this motivation for the capital now, or sorry for the ballroom. Hey, yeah. We're going to have to evaluate the deceiving. Because if I'm not mistaken, I think there was another hole on his ballroom. Another judge halted it again. I got halted and then they released it. They allowed them to continue and then I got halted again. However, I don't. I was able to weigh in on him, fucking building the ballroom. Building the ballroom. Absolutely. Yeah. And so a couple of judges have already stepped in and tried to stop it, saying it's not constitutionally. He didn't get approval from Congress, so on, and so forth. However, it was proving to be a little bit difficult for him. So, you know, I like I said earlier, I already see the conspiracy enough to jump in on this like this is him trying to enact some motivation or bragging right or like talking point for him to actually have that ballroom. Hey, the hell doesn't have security, so on and so forth. But I'd really love to see how that guy acquired that firearm because obviously he's a Californian, right? So, is he, you know, dual residency, does he also live in DC somewhere around there that he acquired the firearm from a friend? That'll be really interesting to see in the next coming hours, because I'm sure that's all going to come out very soon. Thanks. Great information. We do believe he was a guest here at the hotel. We have secure room here in the hotel and again, we'll go through the appropriate procedures to determine what was inside there, but that is secure.
At this point, I guess that we believe he is the only suspect in this case. Okay, to jump out of that question, I understand that all that approach to security Sure. So again, I mean, we're very early in the investigation. So we'll have to turn One of the chat said the shooter is a figure of how am I going and how it got down here. Those things will come through the investigation at this point. We don't have He definitely is an anime gunner that level detail. Okay, last one. Yes, there appears to show video appears to show No, we don't have any information that he was injured. Sure, so law enforcement in the in right here in this very area, they actually tackled into the ground and handcuffed them. Not at this time. We will release his name mark once we have all information again. We're still running a lot of things down In the hospital. So we have the uniform division secret service officer who is being evaluated the hospital who took Around to the vest and the suspect is being evaluated, but he was not struck by gunfire Well as the chief just indicated, we're very early in this investigation, but make no mistake if there is anything Like that we will find it, and we will file it We've been listening to Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser speak alongside law enforcement about the shooting incident at the White House Correspondent Center. We've learned a lot of new information. I'm going to have a director run the video that the White House I guess he wasn't shot gunman running through police now He had a long gun believed to be a shotgun as he sprinted through this and by the way before getting the secret service agent that was allegedly shot Yeah, he's that him in the video because it looks like that guy kind of buckled, but then again, he may have It might have been someone else got it might have been someone else that got shot Yeah, here just look at this. This is what I'm talking about Yeah, he just got like almost ran over See how this guy kind of buckles. Yeah, I guess he just is startled, right? Yeah, so he draws his firearm jumps down God, you can keep playing okay As he was headed towards the ballroom. He did not get anywhere near the ballroom that according to law enforcement He exchanged gunfire with the secret service a secret service officer was shot But he had a bulletproof fest. He's being treated in the hospital the president has spoken to that officer and he's recovering and okay The suspect was a guest at the hotel the Washington, Hilton It's unclear at if you assembled his gun inside his hotel room If you had brought the gun to the hotel room police are actively investigating that right now They're looking also chat. I'm gonna end the party stream and X come on over to kick kick.com Sous-mire gains X ending the party and kick stream party and X And do you want to quickly you want to quickly brief people on Iran while we've covered pretty much Run to this kind of go through the updates because I know you started the stream with that early around today Of course because of Trump Street social post. Yeah, so maybe like five or ten minutes go through Iran We can do it on kick once you jump over. No, no, no, I'm on kick right now. You're good. I'm already on it You ended everything else. Yeah, I ended Twitter and the other shit But yeah, do you have a video you want me to stop sharing and then you got a video you want to go to I was gonna pull up his true social post. Okay. I'll be on like another 30 minutes, and then I'll get off. Yeah, we can go through it but um Yeah, so you had said Of course that Donald Trump he I think he posted it today that He just canceled the trip of my representatives going to Islamabad here. I'll share the screen here so I believe this was today Earlier on he put on truth social and this is in regards to the Iran conflict just in case any of you haven't seen my Instream earlier we'll do a little bit of an overview keep it brief But Trump says I just canceled the trip of my representatives going Is Islamabad Pakistan? I think he meant to me with the Iranians is much time wasted on traveling too much work besides Which there is tremendous infighting and confusion within their leadership. No one knows who is in charge including them Also, we have all the cards. They have none if they want to talk all they have to do is call president Donald J Trump and so obviously Trump is of course front-facingly trying to make it look like he has the upper hand Moving forward with the conflict and so he's saying he's canceling the talks But of course my brother and I speculate that He realizes Iran doesn't want to talk at all and that might be because of the fact that The new supreme leader being the son of the one who is assassinated on day one or two of the conflict much tabakh Amani is the son now had told his delegation that he doesn't want to talk to the U.S. or not to talk to them and This has been evident. I mean since last week. I think actually it's been two weeks since we've imposed a blockade on Iranian ports The parliament speaker had told Donald Trump and responded to his seven points made on truth social in refutation He said you know, we're not going to open up the straight-of-form moves But the biggestipulation and binding factors that is that the United States Navy pulls out from our blockades If you guys don't know the U.S. Navy is blockading Iranian ports responsible for import and export of goods oil and everything else that helps some bolster and Stabilize their economy especially such during such a crucial time and so You know, Donald Trump has kind of for all intensive purposes lost his escalation dominance He has no real ability to Effectually had a change that hurts Iran aside from actually attacking them like he did for the first 40 or 30 days of the conflict until the ceasefire took place in early April Yeah, and now we're just awaiting a second step But he extended the ceasefire indefinitely that was last week and remember JD Vance Jared Kushner and Stephen Whit call for the Middle Eastern envoy were supposed to travel to Islamabad on like two or three different occasions It was supposed to be last Sunday and then of course the Iranian delegation Abbas Iraqi specifically said We're not going to travel there and then on Monday and Tuesday we saw a lot of reports out of Al Jazeera and other Middle Eastern outlets that they would be going to Pakistan Didn't go it was supposed to happen Friday Israeli media was saying that it was supposed to happen on Sunday Nothing ever happened and there were no peace talks And so now we've regressed to the point where we can't even sit at the table with the Ron Nevertheless actually have that conversation that will hopefully need lead to the next step of this conflict being over or diffused So, you know, what are your thoughts on it? It's pretty obvious that Trump has kind of lost all the cards here except for the fact that he has Military might we've destroyed them militarily, right? That's the part that you know a lot of people may intentionally omit But I don't think that that's beneficial to really mention because strategically we're getting our asses whoop But what are your thoughts on this true social post and everything so far? Yeah, I think it's damage control man He every it's kind of funny when he says we have the cards when they really don't dude like this ceasefire really benefits Israel and the United States more It lets him stabilize the markets reassess what he's going to do That f15 getting shot down really fucked up his operation So now he's kind of back to the drawing board trying to buy time, but now he's in a weird spot because um Number one, he doesn't have escalation dominance and then there's not really much more he could do militarily What the next step for him to do anything militarily is he would have to basically bomb a power plant And we know that that would be That would be bad that though the go for that twice. Yeah So he threatened that twice So that would guarantee the regional conflict would reach a catastrophic state. Yeah And you know, it's tough for him. He's kind of in a corner right he can pursue the air campaign again like we did But that doesn't really render effective against the golf allies because of course we know Once the US Air Force takes control of the Iranian skies and starts raining bombs upon the civilian populist Well, then the golf nations are guaranteed to get that in return And we've seen that with the UAE primarily with over 2,000 strikes hitting the UAE Other countries in the region haven't suffered so much like cutter and others They're kind of fine, but it's really the key infrastructure that's responsible for desalination Which is converting that ocean water into drinking water the oil plants the oil pipelines that are responsible for moving the little amount of oil They can outside of the strait of foremost through the land actually Which is something they've had to rely on heavily now since they can't export their oil through the 21 mile passageway So Iran again, this is all evidence that they still have the escalation dominance and strategically They can still deal a great blow to the United States even if they don't have much of their leadership left And they still have tons of likely ballistic missiles right their drones program all of this stuff is built underground And we haven't really done nothing to attack these mountain rages where these underground cities are or wherever they really are As well as stop that capability and as the ceasefire Persists and it prolongs will then that gives the IRGC more time to build more and more missiles and more drones Which is what they did from the 12 they wore back in the summer to now which is why they're arsenal Has proved a pretty complement or pretty capable Especially against Israel So you know the good thing is Israel and Lebanon seem like they've reached some sort of I guess arbitrary ceasefire With Donald Trump trying to broker it and that can potentially remedy the issue in Iran right the IRGC can say well now Lebanon is not under attack that was one of the stipulations and the first 15 point plan that they offered and or 10 point plan I meant sorry So now it's just the Iranian ports. So I mean for me the only thing that I want to see Donald Trump do is remove the navy from these Iranian ports So the straight-of-formos can be open back up and then from there that will be much more reasonable and realistic grounds for JD Vance or whoever comes from the US delegation to actually broker a peace deal You know, but we're gonna have to regress on a lot of our maximalist demands Yeah, the blockade is stupid you can't try to get a ceasefire going while simultaneously doing a blockade It just doesn't work that way you know what I mean So um, and and I don't know like Trump just needs to understand that like we don't have the same leverage that we um That we think we have now I understand that he's trying to show a strong posture and push to his bar for Fox news and everything else like that But we don't have the leverage that he's
He's behaving like we have way more leverage than we're really doing. We don't unfortunately. And yeah, when you are saying that they're making missiles and drones people need to understand that Iran makes all their stuff domestically dude. They're they don't really import anything. They literally make everything domestically So they're able to build I think something like 300 drones a month a month Like that's crazy. So and Gavin they give for the gifted sub. So We're just in a very bad spot right now, man. This is this is a fucking catastrophe in every single way to catastrophe for both. It really is and um, yeah 100% and it's just a matter of Iran refusing to be bullied anymore, right? And that's kind of the danger of them being able to withstand the 40-day bombing campaign They have now been able to parade the fact globally that the United States is not as strong as they really seem to be now Of course, we've destroyed them, but what were our goals prior to this war? Well, of course to destroy the nuclear program Whatever that even means to destroy their missiles program That's really the request of Benjamin Netanyahu by the way. That's the guy who pulled us into this war So I would actually say that's probably at the top of the laundry list or priority list And then of course regime change get the IRGC out that's Israel's plan and then the proxy network of course that affects Israel And we haven't really gotten close to any of those deals for that matter. And so You know, we thought that we would create this coercive pressure by blocking the ports But that just really extended this whole stalemate and crossroads that we've reached in regards to peace talks And it's just a matter of Trump dropping his ego, you know, he's got a lot of those ports. No guard finish. Sorry No, no, no, go ahead. Go ahead. I was gonna say we're not even and we're not even um Like we're not even stopping all the ships from going through dozens of made it through So like the blockade. Yeah, isn't even like we're like people are saying like oh, we're making them broke Not really dude, not really. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, Trump sounds like they're losing 500 million today or something like that. You know, people don't realize any ships That pastor at the mercy of Iranian military pressure And so it's very easy for Iran to make this a lucrative situation where they can actually impose some sort of toll or tax on these ships that are passing through And we saw what happened early on in the conflict right the Japanese Prime Minister sat with Trump inside Washington And they answered questions and then two days later They turned around and paid Iran tons of money to let their ships pass through So that might be a pattern that we continue to see trickle down or really the snowball effect in terms of other countries saying You know what screw the United States. We're not gonna help them in their blockade That's actually exacerbating the issue We're just gonna pay Iran so we can get our vessels through and although it's painful on the front end It's gonna be a necessary evil if we don't want to fall into an energy crisis Which is the main concern here, right? The Netherlands had announced they're running out of oil and energy other countries in Asia Really Indo-China is gonna suffer and then of course a lot of Europe. So And growing concerns as this progresses, but hopefully there's some developments this week and we can see A first or second step being made Towards Effectuating peace, but yeah, definitely not good news in regards to the Iranian conflict You saw I see people saying on X they're gonna say that this guy was an Iranian sleeper agent So Trump can just full on attack Iran But you know who knows it's all just funny conspiracies and speculation Yeah, I know you covered that earlier today, but I just thought that I'd go over it really quickly But nothing really breaking out of the Iran situation I mean it was it's damage control because the other thing too is that our aggachi Didn't want to wait for them and then also our aggachi said dude I'm not gonna negotiate with fucking Kushner and Wicoff anymore like Yes, Eric Wicoff and Kushner. I would did a whole breakdown on this like these guys are like Israel first like agents You know what I mean? Like There's a huge conflict of interest. They're very close to BB Yeah, they're sitting here are negotiating with the Iranians like dude It's so lopsided and it's like dude We want to talk to JD Vance or someone that actually has some poor, but even JD Vance really like kept going in and out of the fucking meetings Having to call Trump every two seconds meanwhile trumps at UFC. So it's like You know, and that's the thing JD Vance is certainly punching the air because There are growing rumors now that Marco Rubio is going to be the front runner for a 2028 campaign And that's kind of what all of you know mainstream media news outlets have been reporting And so for JD Vance the best thing that he could do is look like he's at the top of this piece deal being brokered like it was his Whole doing but it's proving very difficult when Trump goes in and kind of strikes the iron and makes it hard So I'm sure that JD Vance is really upset with the fact that he can't weaponize this in 2028 debates If he's gonna run for president. However, you know, it's not over. Maybe there will be another delegation sent out But I mean, it's just an vicious cycle. It's this runaround. It's like we're gonna meet and then we don't meet And then Trump extends a ceasefire then Trump curls an empty threat and then he doesn't fulfill that threat And it's just never ending, you know, and it really does make the United States look a lot weaker than we actually are And so that's why we need somebody who's a little bit more politically savvy in office To make the right decisions and make it look like we actually have the power of deterrence and escalation dominance because You know, the thing is Trump doesn't even know how to faint, you know, he just hurls these threats and a lot of these things You can't say unless there's actions behind it and he's overused. It's kind of like the boy who cried wolf effect He's overused or completely abused the idea of brinksmanship and posturing to the point now where everything he says Just goes through one year and out the other especially for the IRGC so Now it's just a matter of standing on business and actually doing what you say That's probably going to be the only thing the United States has the ability to do which is not what you want right You want the ability to scare your enemy and threaten them into the position that you want them to be in for your own advantage without actually embarking on any sort of Physical venture of war or anything like that. However, that seems like it's not an option on the table anymore so yeah very very unpopular unfavorable war And maybe that's part of the reason why there's been so much, you know, physical threat to Trump I suppose right with the whole Mar-a-Lago situation now this guy trying to sprint past security And uh Not get far before I assume attempting to kill the president right what was his what what else could have been his goal Yeah, I have a couple chat share. Yeah, go ahead. Oh good. I was going to say was um, I don't know if cash betel is going to get I mean there's big rumors that he's going to get fired um So we'll have to see um I just don't see that happening though. I don't see that happening. I don't think that makes sense I'll say this earlier. He actually didn't do that bad of a job if you look at the numbers dude The FBI has improved it almost every metric that actually matters like let's put his personal life aside Let's put his girlfriend aside. Let's take put aside, you know the hit pieces of him being an alcoholic whatever um He has actually um done a pretty damn good job Um with improving the FBI from where it was now with that said the FBI was garbage before okay, so You know making it better. It wasn't like that much harder, but the reality is dude is that uh it's It's better than it was you know It's it's it's a big big improvement from where it was so uh I'd be surprised if he got um fired at this point But we'll see what happens man. He's been getting getting rid of a lot of his um People in his town. I mean he just indicted the SPLC, you know, so that's kind of big Oh, and then one other thing too. I got to shout this out guys go ahead and um Go ahead and get my uh follow this channel right here. It's a clip channel Uh that covers my brother is made by one of the guys out there on OSS Make sure to show it love let me drop it in the chat for you guys right now Go ahead and follow it support our OSS brethren glad rad you want us you want to read your chats right Yeah, I'll read a couple chats here. Oh good. Okay, so we have Texas dub I think I read that already you think it chunk uh attack on Trump will reunite his mega base I think it's too late. Uh, I think I read that already and hk. Oh Hang on let me get the new chats here Like the video if you have not already guys really appreciate the love Yeah, someone said more lefty violence. This is crazy. Yeah, I know it's nuts dope and in music says my rinskip my super chat worth $30. Okay, maybe you said something you weren't supposed to say man No, do you think there's anything like that? dope and in music dope and in music dope and in music. I don't I don't. Anyways, just I don't see it. Yeah, may have just missed it man. I'm not sure Apologies if that's the case. User SK says do you think there's any legitimate threat? Myron will probably look for it now Do you think there's any legitimate threat of an Iranian attempted assassination of Trump and moment of silence for a cuck patelle losing his bitch? Losing his bid. Yeah, um Now I mean, you know, this guy is obviously an American right he has his bachelor's I think he even has his masters. I don't know. I saw a couple different things You know, so I don't think he's an Iranian sleep rage and anything like that. I don't know if he's Muslim he does kind of look like Malcolm X kind of but No, I don't think so If there's a threat moving forward. No, but I think it's very advantageous for the mega base and White House or Washington really to say that there's a possibility of an Iranian sleeper sell attack So that they can bolster favorability for the war. However, I don't know if that really will come to reality I'm not saying that doesn't exist, you know, there certainly are maybe sleeper agents, but for that to happen I don't you know, you got to be very worried about that stuff for obvious reasons, right? Jared awareness says Trump was mid-ordering dessert before evacuating Yeah, was that he was doing there was some guy between them talking maybe he was ordering. I don't know Mr facts thanks for the $10 he says the midterms are coming up coming up Trump's running out of time He will lose the House most likely on the other hand Iran emerging money from the blockade who outlasts who in the long run re out very good question Yeah, I think Iran is is not actually on the hot seat the same way Trump is Trump needs to make a move Because the straightforward moves just can't be blocked or partially blocked for an extended period of time if it is the back end effect that needs
United States will be devastating and already has proved to be somewhat devastating. At least a lot of you guys are feeling that when you're pumping gas and buying goods me myself, you know, I've noticed the increase of price of almost everything from groceries to gas. But yeah, he's definitely going to lose the house, the Senate maybe, but the house is cooked. I think that that's already guaranteed. Trump committed political unaliving on himself by bringing us to war and Iran. That was kind of like beyond the pale. So Democrats are going to continuously weaponize against that for 2028 as well as 2026 in November. But we will be covering that. So make sure you substitute the channel midterms is going to be a very fun time for Meyer and I to cover all the developments and the seats being flipped. So stick around. That'll be a good thing for us to cover. I'm very excited for that. And that's it for supers. He goes appreciate the coverage job that WS us really want to start my own show. Do you guys think current events are already oversaturated? Thank you so much, bro, for that down the marker for you. Look, if you want to cover the news, man, no problem. You just got to know what you're talking about. And be able to speak well and have some degree of charisma and charm and you can do it. But I will be honest to you, you know, yeah, social media is very, very saturated now and it's very competitive, you know, getting into YouTube before COVID was significantly easier than trying to get into it now. Based on my y'all, as I started my climate page on IG on IG got 360 K views. If you guys give me a follow that beat up my YouTube channel got banned. Why do YouTube channel get banned? I'm banned on Instagram. This judges hilarious. You can say, yeah, guys, it's orange underscore pill underscore clips. That's his Instagram. We'll check him out. So mine is one we had to put down my dog of seven years. Not sure how to deal with it. Feels like we lost my best friend when I can't get my mind off of it by working or playing many games. How do you usually deal with death or loss of something important? That's something that time is going to fix my friend. He's got to kind of just kind of deal with it for a few days or a few weeks. But you'll be better. I'm no longer in the wise back in the situation as fucked. Yeah, I definitely is. What else? Let's see if there's any other coverage of hang out for a little bit longer. And then I'll move my people over you. Yeah, let's see. Let's see what else is going on. You want to jump into Twitter space with these guys? Oh, yeah, that'd be great with solemon. Yeah, let me do that right now. Let's do it. I'm sure they're probably still on. All right. Let me go ahead. Cash app at hell. Look at Dan Clancy gooning is usual. It's more like having a human slave on stream. It doesn't matter to you. So she wasn't view bonding as far as I'm concerned. This only appears to be consensual. I admire the innovation streamers bring to a platform. Which is so cool. You'll fuck this nigga bro. Man, fuck Twitch, bro. All right, let's see. Do you want to join this space or should we both try to just get mics? And then I'll mute you from my end. Let me try not. You can just join. I'll listen in. Yeah, join. No, they should be able to hear you through my side. Or maybe they won't. I don't know. No, no, they won't. They won't. But go for it. I will. I can't hear it. Yeah, no, no, but you know what? You can't hear it. Oh, you know what? I got this. Sorry. It's a big day. I got a mic. You can hear it, right? Yeah, I am looking through his post and there's no. I wonder if all those people that followed him are just because of tonight. I was thinking that as well. I was thinking that. You joined into a get a mic red. If it was. One second. Bro, one second because you. Bro, you keep saying things are like literally. And get Mr. Sanders. I need to watch it. I'm not. And the. Welcome. I run under the stage. Marry. Hope you do well.

Very interesting turn of events of what's going on here. What's he talks? I want to know what. What he says when they talk to him. You know, I predict that what they are going to charge him with. They charge them with almost the identical charges that they charged up. Ryan Routhwith back in 2024. If you guys remember when. He tried to do to why he was golfing with Steve Whitkoff. They got him with the, you know, using a farm and act of a commission of violence, assaults on a, on a federal officer. So I predict that they're going to probably add in another charge attempt to assassinate our president. I think it's 18 USC 1751. I'll double check the statue. Um, but, uh, you know, but they're going to have to probably, you know, try to establish like, hey, what were you doing when you went there? Uh, and who were you targeting? If he, you know, um, admits it. But this guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 18 USC 1751 attempted assassination of our assault or a president or vice president. Okay. But yeah. So we'll see. We'll see. I mean, um, I'm intrigued to see what he says. I'm going to read the criminal complaint when he gets rained on Monday. Uh, the case is going to go federal. So, um, it's not going to go to the state. The feds are going to take it automatically. So, uh, FBI is probably going to lead it. What do you think about, um, the assassination? Some obviously in this best thing that maybe it's, uh, it's, uh, uh, like orchestrated. Um, but, obviously, I don't think that most people on the space do. What's your, uh, thought on what happened in terms of the guy's motive? All these type of things. I don't know. You know, I, I always try to wait and, um, you know, get as much information as I can before I make like conclusions. Um, I know a lot of people love to, you know, start putting on a 10 foil hats and say, oh, man, I think it's just, you know, this is my theory of law. Um, right now, you know, at least from what we see, our phase value, it looks like some crazy lone gunman, but that can change, you know, literally within a minute. So I, I know more facts are going to come out. Obviously, um, during the weekend, he's going to get put in front of a judge. I predict that there's probably going to be a criminal complaint filed right now as we speak. They're doing search warrants in California as we speak. So, um, you know, I always tried to get as many of the facts possible. Read the court documents to kind of make a, uh, make a judgment once I read all that. What do you think about him as an individual? I mean, it's, uh, interesting that, um, basically, you know, you look at him and he's, uh, I mean, his background seems to be his background. It seems to be a bit indicative of what's been going on and maybe parallels with Tyler Robinson. Um, yeah, I mean, he looks like he's a progressive. I saw that he apparently he donated some money to Kamala Harris, which that was waste of money. But, uh, you know, and that he's a teacher and he's from California. So, you know, there is a likelihood that he's, you know, probably leaning left, uh, a left leaner. Now, uh, you know, it would be, you know, I will tell you this. If they start saying, oh, yeah, this guy is, uh, you know, he doesn't like the war. Some should like that. And he doesn't like Trump getting in the war. And now that that's when, you know, red flags will start, you know, uh, popping up for me. If this is like linked to some, to Aronsum in some way. But, um, you know, we won't know. But, but I am definitely looking forward to reading the criminal complaint because typically criminal complaints. Um, have a good amount of probable cause in them, uh, because it's written by the agent that actually does the investigation versus, um, and, uh, you know, an indictment. So, uh, definitely going to look at that. See, that's probably going to reveal how we got to Washington DC. Um, what they found when they did the certain, when they did the searches. Uh, did he leave a manifesto? Did he not? Was there any other co-conspirators? What was on his phone? So that's going to be, um, a treasure trove of like kind of figuring out motive and going from there. But at least from what Trump said, you know, he wrote them off as like some crazy radical leftist. And, uh, we looked at, um, a lot of the information. Uh, this guy was an extremely smart guy. He was, uh, was, uh, basically featured in Caltech. Extremely like a junior, very smart guy, but then was just a shooter afterwards. Um, so what do you think that was indicative in terms of profile of somebody who maybe would carry out such an attack? I mean, one thing I've always kind of realized about people that are, you know, are very brilliant is, um, you know. There's always like some other type of defect, right? You don't get blessed with that level of intelligence without like some negative consequences or side effects. Now, obviously, you know, some people can hide it. Some people, you know, can't hide it. Some people do their best to improve on it. But anytime you're gifted, uh, with high intelligence, you typically end up being very quirky. Most people I know that have high IQs have like little weird quirks about them. Um, obviously this is, you know, quirky at the worst level, but, uh, but, uh, you know, this is, this is what it is. And there's a lot of also like a lot of people that I know they're super smart, but they're just lazy. They don't apply themselves, right? You know, we're a hard work. Be sound when talent doesn't want to work hard. There's a reason why that's saying exists. So, um, you know, he could have been one of these guys that was smart, high IQ, um, but just was a chronic underachiever. Right? Or got distracted or sidetracked by other things. So, uh, we'll have to definitely, uh, see what comes out as they continue to investigate this guy. Um, Ray, thanks for joining us. Hope you're doing well. What's your thoughts on the show? Yeah, it's crazy. Um, on its face.
of course I can already see the conspiracy theories popping up and so I gave some of them credit because I suppose they have some weight. I know a lot of people are going to start to say that Trump did this in order to enable more bragging rights or rhetoric to justify the building of the new ballroom. He's going to say that Hilton is not secure enough. We cannot annually have the dinner at places outside of the White House. Of course, he's probably going to use this to his leverage, of course, in regards to Democrats potentially taking the House in November. He's going to use the same rhetoric as the right has been using for a while, which, you know, look for many regards is actually true that the left is violent. We cannot let Democrats have majority control. We can't let them control legislation so on and so forth. However, that's a far cry from the truth because they're probably going to take control of the House and so it's going to be difficult. But, you know, it seems like this is just the simple story or the repeat story of a disheveled person from the left who, like my brother said, is probably actually very intelligent. This guy clearly was educated. We were taking a look at his LinkedIn per your post, so good journalism there. And obviously, you know, this is the thing with the left. They're educated people who are really disenfranchised from the public and, you know, they have these outrageous motives and they effectuate them and, you know, the situation that we've seen prior, we Charlie Kirk, under the situations, you know, regardless of whatever you think it's always somebody on. Hey, guys, I'm going to hop off here. I'm fucking dying. I've been on all day. Haven't slept. Follow my, go check out my brother stream. Guys, I put for all you guys that fucking love YouTube. Okay. Here's your chance. I'll read some chats before I get out of here thinking you as the thank you. I'm no longer wise. Cool. Got you. Yeah. For all you guys that, um, that, uh, what's it called? Love YouTube. Here's your chance. Okay. Watch my brother. Go support him. He's going to stay on life a little bit longer. Okay. I'm dropping a link right now. Go to his channel. Go to his channel. You're shooting. So, you know, same thing written in a different way. And unfortunately, this will continue to happen, especially when there's controversial people. I'm going to get him on kick once he builds up his YouTube more. And give him your conspiracy. Yeah. No, I'm not. I haven't got the conspiracy. That's the rest of the funnel. I actually think it was like a lone government who tried it. Uh, like people think it's holograms. I won't mention any names, but, um, the, um, no, I think it was an attempt. It's quite clear. You couldn't even get past the, like, security, uh, thing. And so it seems like he tried to in. He went a bit walkie. Obviously, it seems like a guy. All right, guys, I'm going to, I'm going to get out here. Let me, uh, get off the discord call. Um, I want one sec. All right, guys, go, please support my brother. I dropped his link. I pinned it. Okay. In the chat, let me go ahead and give it to you guys on rumble as well. His YouTube channel is called Rihanna's report. All you guys love YouTube. Here's your fucking chance to go back to YouTube. Okay. I am out though, guys, go show him some love. I'm going to fucking go to sleep, eat some food, go to sleep. Frank is passed out next to me. I love you guys. I'll see you guys tomorrow. We're going to cover the Julio trial. Okay. And, uh, yeah. Love you, nerds. Peace out, man. Go to my brother's channel. Switch over there, guys. Blow up his shit. Pause. Love you guys later.
