Sit back, relax it, grab a fucking drink. - Yeah, welcome to Drinkinbros, kids, special emergency edition on a Sunday night. Typically, we don't do these shows in studio on the weekend. Obviously, with last night's events, we are going live today. We'll be joined by Tim Kennedy. We'll also cut into President Joe Biden's speech here at the top of the hour in about eight minutes. And then afterwards, Rob O'Neill, the man responsible for killing Osama bin Laden, will be joining us. - We'll have Dallas, Alexander as well, who's JTF2, tier one sniper, that he was the spotter. If you remember, he's the country singer, right? He was the spotter for the longest confirmed kill in history, not this Ukrainian bullshit. - Right, right, right. - Like real ones, right? - Oh, good guy, seven miles. - Yeah, yeah. - Oh, did you? (laughing) - Tim Kennedy, good to see your friends. Sorry, it's under these circumstances. Where were you last night's when President Trump was shot? So we were on the range, the Special Operations Unit that I'm in, and one of the guys walked back to his car, you're like, it was hot. And I got all these, we're getting after it pretty hard. The allocation was about 2,500 rounds per shooter. So we're doing lots of drills. And if you've ever been to a military range, or any military activity, they take the fun out of everything. So if you're like, oh, wow, you're at the range, having a ton of fun, like until you're on your hands and these, like, picking through tall grass, 'cause they won't cut it, to find every single brass casing, you know? And then like, anyways. So we're on the range, and a guy goes back to his truck to hopefully hydrate. And he's like, man, somebody just tried to kill Trump. I think Trump just got shot. And the whole entire range, you could hear a pin drop. Like, ceasefire called, and guys come over, and they're like, no, this isn't real, this isn't real. And I mean, it was real. - Yeah. - So there's, you know, 12 special operations guys that were just sitting there with their mouths open. Like, what is going on right now? - Yeah, yeah, Dan, where were you? - I was actually watching a documentary about Teddy Roosevelt, ironically. - Really? - Yeah, no shit. I was watching a, it's a two-parter on the learning, not the learning channel, whatever. I can't remember what it is. - PBS? - No, it's some, something like that. - Yeah, the teaching company, that's it, yeah. I've got a subscription. Of course, I've got a subscription to that shit. Yeah, I was watching it. I was like halfway through the first episode right before, I went back and watched it later, but it was right before, it was 15 minutes before this story about him getting shot and continuing on to the, he actually lost that election, by the way. So hopefully that's not the case here, but yeah, that's what I was doing. - Gotcha. - I had no idea that even happened. I was, social media was a way for the day. - Yeah, it was with my children at the pool and checked a text message from my father. And he said Trump had been shot. I didn't believe it. Obviously turned on the news like everybody else and it was wall-to-wall coverage. It was unavoidable and it was one of those things where I was with my kids who were five and 10 at the time and as a parent, I didn't really know what to do. Do you show your children what's happening in the world when a president is, there's an attempted assassination? - And then I thought back to, when I was a small child, it was three years old, four years old, when President Reagan got shot and my parents had it on television and I ended up watching it with them. So I decided to leave it on. I answered their questions and there was a lot of shock, a lot of disbelief and no one could really understand how it happened. You know, we'll cut back to the president here in five minutes when he goes live, but as I was watching it unfold and then flipping back and forth between social media, I just don't understand having gone to a million rallies, Republican, Democrat, libertarian rallies over the course of my life, how someone could get so close to the president to assassinate him. What we are told now was it was about 150 yards. - Yep. As soon as you saw the pictures and we saw the video, it's pretty easy to go on to like Onyx or Google Earth and everybody was doing this, they're starting to measure things. The ranges were I think initially from like 120 meters to 450 meters, we're the furthest. In every single one of those initial measurements, all of them are so pathetically, insanely, horrifically close, the ineptitude is beyond my comprehension. It justifies every single SOP that we know the Secret Service has and tries to practice. And I don't want to disparage the people on the grounds. There were a lot of mistakes that were gonna be made, but I do believe that their hearts, like they're there as patriots, they're trying their best, but no matter how hard they try, when your organization is rotten to the core and like the majority of our current.gov.doj, when you are trying to hire at 30% to meet some DEI requirement, when you don't have the resources, the funding, the training, the personnel, there is just a labor shortage, there is a skill shortage and there's an ability shortage on the ground and it was on display the whole entire time from the exterior, the perimeter, to obviously the screening, to the pre-deployment site surveys, to the identification of potential shooting positions, to actions on the X, to getting the present Trump off of the X, the X-Fill, to every single place that I looked, I was like, oh, that's bad. - It was the wrong decision. - Damn, that's bad. - So we can start from the beginning, the site survey, right? Which would happen, I mean, it's a busy campaign season, but this stuff happens at a minimum weeks in advance, typically, sometimes as short as three days, right? Well, I guess sometimes as short as one day, if it's an impromptu thing, but typically no less than three days. Any place that would be a potential sniper position, whether it's out to about fucking 1,000 to 1,200 meters typically in a place like that, they're gonna send somebody out, usually a counter sniper team, somebody from a counter sniper team that knows what they're looking for, to find potential hides, right? Like if you see a building that has line of sight to where the stage is gonna be, that has a ladder, permanently affixed to the back of it, the very least you would do is put a fucking armed police officer right there. - I'm gonna pop. - You do not move. - At the worst. - It doesn't matter who it is. Somebody with a gun stands there and you don't move. If you gotta go piss or something, you get on the radio, have somebody else come stand there that post specifically never gets walked away from. Right, that's the most basic thing of all time. - Yeah, and last time I was with Mr. Trump was 2016, I was invited to sit with my wife and his family at one of the rallies in Wilmington, North Carolina, and we had to show about four hours early. They were doing perimeter checks four hours early from it looked like a mile, a mile and a half out from where the actual podium was, and the podium was preset. So I'm assuming the podium is set that many hours in advance just so you can find out all the angles at which somebody might come at you from. - It happens way before that. It's not hours, it's not days, you know, it's weeks. For example, in Normandy just a month ago, the president, President Biden was coming out, he was going to point to Hawk, and I had the pleasure to talk with the Secret Service that were there and create a very competent, professional experts in their field. They're clearing every imaginable direction, every point of view, every vantage point, there was not an inch of ground that wasn't controlled. And on this spectrum of incompetence to include negligence and lack of professionalism and lack of training on this spectrum all the way to complicit, I am more of the opinion that it is so, they're so inept to do their job, the thing that they're supposed to do which is protect their principle, that whether it is directly complicit or passively complicit, they are so dangerously inept that something like this could happen. This is not a skilled person. This appears to be a 20-year-old idiot. - With no military background. - With no training, with no shooting ability, with no infiltration ability, you know, so you also have these red cell teams that are walking out in the crowds and you identify in the site surveys, threat areas and threat groups. - I mean, you get run downs from local police about any knuckleheads in the area. That's how deep this shit goes, right? Like hey, do you have any problem people in the neighborhood that are fucking protesting all the time or meth heads or anybody that's had gun charges like shit like that, right? You know about that. - You can go back to 2010. President Obama is going to Trinidad. Seventh Special Forces Group, Trinidad Tobago, is in control, that's who I was with at the time. Seventh Group, while they're there for a GSAT, a joint combined exercise for training with the Trinidad Military and Law Enforcement, they repurpose guys to go and do portions of these site surveys. So you have US Special Forces snipers that are running around doing the lift of these site surveys to hand over information to the Arriving Secret Service Counter Snipers. - Like making-- - I hate to interrupt you here, so we'll cut to Joe Biden. Turn that out only. - President United States address the nation. - There are not enemies. We're neighbors. We're friends, coworkers, citizens, and most importantly, we're our fellow Americans. We must stand together. Yesterday, shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania calls on all of us to take a step back, take stock of where we are, how we go forward from here. Thankfully, former Trump is not seriously injured. I spoke to him last night, I'm grateful. He's doing well, and Jill and I keep him and his family in our prayers. We'll also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victims who was killed. Corey was a husband, a father, a volunteer firefighter, a hero, sheltering his family from those bullets. We should all hold his family and all those injured in our prayers. Earlier day, I spoke about an ongoing investigation. We do not know the motive of the shooter yet. We don't know his opinions or affiliations. We don't know whether he had help or support or if he communicated with anyone else. Law enforcement professionals, as I speak, are investigating those questions. Tonight, I want to speak to what we do know. A former president was shot. An American citizen killed while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. We cannot, we must not go down this road in America. We've traveled before throughout our history. Violence has never been the answer. Whether it's with members of Congress and both parties being targeted in the shot, or a violent mob attacking the Capitol on January 6th, or brutal attack on the spouse or former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or information and intimidation on election officials, or the kidnapping plot against the city governor, or an attempted assassination on Donald Trump, there's no place in America of this kind of violence for any violence ever. Period, no exceptions. We can't allow this violence to be normalized. You know, the political record in this country has gotten very heated. It's time to cool it down. We all have a responsibility to do that. Yes, we have deeply felt strong disagreements. The stakes in this election are enormously high. I've said it many times, that the choice in this election we make in this election is going to shape the future of America and the world for decades to come. I believe that with all my soul. I know that millions of my fellow Americans believe it as well. And some have a different view as to the direction our country should take. Disagreement is inevitable in American democracy. It's part of human nature. But politics must never be a literal battlefield of God from good, a killing field. I believe politics ought to be in a arena for peaceful debate to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the declaration of independence in our Constitution. We stand for an America, not of extremism and fury, but of decency and grace. All of us now face the time of testing as the election approaches and the higher the stakes, the more fervent the passions become. This place is an added burden on each of us to ensure that no matter how strong our convictions will us never descend into violence. The Republican Convention will start tomorrow. I have no doubt they'll criticize my record and offer their own vision for this country. I'll be traveling this week, making the case for our record and my vision of the country, our vision. I'll continue to speak out strongly for our democracy, stand up for our Constitution and the rule of law, to call for action at the ballot box, no violence on our streets. That's how democracy should work. We debate and disagree. We compare and contrast the character of the candidates, the records of the issues, the agenda, the vision for America. But in America, we resolve our difference at the battle box. You know, that's how we do it, at the battle box, not with bullets. - Battle box? - Battle box? - The power to change your-- - I shout out for battle box. - I shout out for battle box. - Battle box. - They got cool shit. - Not in the hands of would-be assassin. You know, the path forward through a competing visions of the campaign should always be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence. You know, we're blessed to live in the greatest country in Earth, and I believe that with every soul, every power of my being. So tonight, I'm asking every American to recommit, to make America so, make America what to think about. What's made America so special? - She's serious. - Here in America, everyone's be treated with dignity and respect and hate must have no safe harbor. Here in America, we need to get out of our silos, where we only listen to those with whom we agree, where misinformation is rampant, where foreign actors fan the flames of our division to shape the outcomes consistent with their interests, not ours. Let's remember, here in America, all unity is the most elusive of all goals right now, nothing is more important for us now, than standing together. We can do this, you know, from the beginning. Our founders understood the power of passion, and so they created democracy that gave reason and balance a chance to prevail over a brute force. That's the American we must be. The American democracy, our arguments are made in good faith. The American democracy, where the rule of law is respected. The American democracy, where decency, dignity, fair play, aren't just quaint notions, but living, breathing realities. We owe that to those who come before us, to those who gave their lives for this country. We owe that to ourselves. We owe it to our children and our grandchildren. Look, let's never lose sight of who we are. Let's remember we are the United States of America. There is nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity, when we do it together. God bless you all, and may God protect our truths. - I won. - Six minutes. - I won. - Yeah, I said seven. - You said seven. - That's it. - Price right rules here though, 'cause like. - Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't, I'm talking about. - Right behind you. - He went under. - No, that's not Price's right, you went over him, so you lost. - You don't do that with time. - Play the music, yep. - Thank you. - You don't do that with time, that's how you do it. - Can he just turn that into like a political plug for his own needs? - Yeah, so one, there's no democracy, but there hasn't been a direct democracy on earth since the fourth century, B.C., and Athens, Greece. Okay, just get that out of the way. Second of Lee, as Tobias Fuhnke would say. You notice how he tried to pepper in all these alleged right-ring conspiracies? Like the one where the FBI tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, and how Laughlin shot Gabby Giffords. By the way, paranoid schizophrenic apolitical, nothing to do with repubes. - Yeah. - At all. - You use like six examples trying to paint a picture that grossly misrepresent the current anger and danger, I think in this country. Insurrections that have happened in the past six to eight years. - They're usually armed? - Yeah, they're definitely armed. - That's usually like a really key signature part of an insurrection is armed. Because otherwise, you're not doing anything. You know, like somebody sat in Nancy Pelosi's chair, and that was two Pearl Harbors, right? - Yeah. - So JD Vance tweeted yesterday, and people gave him a little smoke for it, but I agree that the central premise of the Biden campaign has been that Trump is a fascist, and that if he gets elected again, American democracy is over, right? That he's literal Hitler, he's Mussolini, whatever the fuck else. Like this has been, and he's not wrong about that. That is exactly what the fuck's been going on for the last eight years, actually, with Trump. He's, if this guy succeeds, America will end, right? And if you tell people that shit long enough, Bob, go to scroll down to what led to this, that header, and then find a genuine threat and click that. This is from Joe Biden right here. This is a tweet from Joe Biden two weeks ago. Go ahead, blow that up, throw that on there. He's a threat to our freedom. He's a threat to our democracy. He's literally a threat to everything America stands for. That's fucking Joe Biden two weeks ago. Well, it's the 20-year-old dummy that, 'cause Joe Biden couldn't write that to save his fucking life, right? But this has been the central premise of his campaign. Is that if Trump succeeds, then all of this goes away. All of America goes away. Now, how the fuck do you expect people to react to something like that? I don't wanna hear this shit about, oh, we gotta turn the temperature down. No, fuck you, guy. You turned the temperature up. Now we're all gonna fucking cook. - Yeah. Also, this felt directly like a campaign speech and less about an attempt on a former of an assassination on a former president who you're running against. - Where was the buck stops here? We have implemented policies within the US government in our hiring, in our training, with the culture of law enforcement, where they're scared to pull a trigger. You know, in all honesty, when I watched the video of those guys on the rooftop, they were not hunting. They looked like they were scared. And that's what happens when you have an organization like the US government that is not empowering the person on the ground to make the right decision. We are rotten to the core at the top. I still believe that the men and women in uniform are doing the best with the resources that they have and they're trying their hardest, but they cannot, when every opportunity they have to try and make a right decision, they're penalized for it. Have you seen the video of this Thomas Matthew Crooks who allegedly of him yelling at the police officers? - Yes. - Where he calls it, he's a fascist, they have to die. Like, this is what happens when there's rhetoric like that from the world leader saying the only way to get this done is to get rid of him. We couldn't indict him. We couldn't impeach him. We can't get him to jail. We can't ruin his finances. Carlson said it. I mean, Alex Jones has called it. Time and time again, it looks like the only direction is to do what they are now empowering and enabling people to do, which is try and kill Trump. - Yeah, and then you try to wash your hands of it until you, to your point, Bob, go back to that list, to your point about this systemic rot inside of all government, right? It's the military, it's our agencies, particularly our protective agencies. Scroll down to the USS incompetence and the one in the middle right there. Good thing we diversified. This is an ad that the Secret Service ran about how we're gonna boost, we're gonna boost women by 30%, 30% of our people are gonna be, Jesus fucking Christ. - Go ahead and play this, Bob. - To expand hiring, they're aiming to have 30% women recruits by 2030 and even allowed YouTube influencer, Michelle Kari, to train with agents. - But I'm very conscious as I sit in this chair now of making sure that we need to attract diverse candidates and ensure that we are developing and giving opportunities to everybody and our work. - You freeze when the goddamn gun goes off. - That workforce will be pivotal for the 2020. - And then click the next link. This is what you get when you fucking diversify. Blow this right on up. This is what you get when you diversify. Somebody cowering in fear while everybody else is on top of the principal. - Are you talking about mostly McCarthy back then? - Yeah, if you don't want the fucking job, stay home. If you don't want the job, stay home. You don't get the badge in the gun. You don't get the respect unless you do the fucking work. Period, man. God damn it. There's a worse picture of her, by the way, cowering even more. - Did you see her by the car? - Yeah, and she's trying to-- - To foster her gun. - Correct. - Yeah, over her fucking love handles. Like Jesus fucking Christ. - She did have suspenders to keep her pants up. - Yeah. - Yeah. Listen, there are some really great women operator out there, women operator out there. - We know them. - And yeah, they're incredible. They're so capable. And this is an agenda thing. This isn't a capabilities thing. And this has to be based. When you're hiring somebody to fly an airplane, when you're hiring somebody to run into the sound of gunfire, when you're running into a fire, when you're throwing yourself between a threat and a principle, it has to be on somebody's capability and ability to do that job. And that has been lost. It doesn't matter, what matters is your skin color, your gender, your sexual orientation. None of those things matter in the success of preserving and protecting human life. And it can't continue down this path. Like the trajectory that we're on right now, we're gonna have planes falling out of the sky. We're gonna have people getting assassinated, we're gonna have buildings burning to the ground with children and women inside of them, because we are not putting the right men and women in these roles to do this job. So I do agree with you in the sense that like, damn you guys, we're gonna have to do that. - Look, we've got to do better as a country, but then the left would have to admit that you're hiring based on talents and not on a race or a gender or anything else. Sports minus Broni James is the only thing in which we're hired on talents. And that's it. The best of the best are in there. If you're not good, fuck off. And why we're not doing that now at this current moment in our country, I don't have any idea. Right now we're joined by Rob O'Neill, live from New York. - Robin, how are you? - Good, how are you? - Rob, how are you? Welcome to the show, my friend. - Hey, thanks for having me. Sorry about the disconnect. I'm a Cape Cod. We don't have electricity up here. - Ah, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Got a bunch of women working on your internet out there. I understand it. Were you able to catch the speech by President Biden? - You know, I saw it a little bit, but I must have tuned in late there as well, 'cause I missed where he fired the director of the Secret Service. - Oh shit, yeah, it didn't happen, Rob. - Obviously, that must have happened, but I didn't see it. - No, it didn't happen, Rob. Now, I want you, so we've got snipers all over the fucking place, apparently, which is, this is the safest room in America right now, probably, except for maybe the Convention Center, 'cause every Secret Service agent is there. Explain to the audience why this is so fucked up. Like, from the top down. - The reason I wanted to explain was like, the first time as a Navy SEAL sniper, when I was employed was actually 1998 in Toronto, Albania, for a major exercise, and I was doing what's called a range card, and what you do is, and I'm talking, I was 21, maybe 22 years old, and I'm assuming that handsome devil Tim Kennedy would agree with me, when you do a range card, you go out to at least 500 meters, and you look at 360 degrees, and certainly any potential position elevated with a line of sight to the principal is way, way out of line, and the toddler could fucking see that. And so, to look at what happened today, and see that whomever was on whatever elevated position, that close to the principal, it just doesn't make sense to me, and I love to be on both sides, and not be a conspiracy theorist, but this is not real, some, it's gotta be inside. There's no way that dude climbed up. There's no way that a deputy climbed up and saw him and backed down, and then he took quick. It just doesn't pass a smell test, but it just fits in what the left is doing right now with what the communists do. Jail your opponent, you don't like your opponent's, silence your opponent's, then shoot your opponents. - Yeah, there's something really weird going on. - I am in the eye of the lab, base your-- - No, there's something really weird going on. I want to address a couple of things. One is the cop going up the ladder, so I'm sure everybody has seen, there's multiple videos of different people saying, they saw the shooter climbing up there, saw he had a rifle and they tried to alert police and blah, blah, blah, and they didn't respond or whatever, there's different accounts of it. And now today we find out that a patrol officer did try to climb the ladder, get up there, and the guy swung his rifle around on him, and that's when he turned back around and started shooting at Trump, right? A couple of things on that. If multiple people walk up to you, and you're a cop, and you're posted right there, and they say, hey, there's somebody with a gun on that roof, you don't fucking crawl up there to take a peek. You get on the phone with fucking Secret Service, they'll be like, hey, there's a guy over here, you give him distance and direction and that's it, and let him fucking handle that problem. Now, to that point, the comms on site like that, and I'm sure you've dealt with this doing stuff here in Texas, the comms on site like that are fucked. Nobody's got the same equipment, nobody's on the same channel. So usually what will happen is the two agencies will put, they will co-locate with somebody with each other, or give one other guy a radio, right? That's typically how it's handled. And there's a delay there, right? There's a delay from, hey, hold on, yep, got it, and then you get on your other radio and you call that in. But man, so I understand that part of it, if there was some kind of delay, what I don't understand is how the guy got onto the roof in the first place. That's the real issue. - That's the first time. I don't mean to interrupt, that's precisely what I'm saying. Secret Service did a great job. Who did the range card before? Sorry, I interrupted, go ahead. - No, no, no, go ahead. It's one of those things to me where the kid looks like he's 120 pounds soaking wet. No military background whatsoever. He's able to shimmy up a roof. - No, he didn't shimmy up a roof. - No, there's a permanent ladder on the back of that building. - Oh, so he was able to be permanent ladder on the back of the building, 150 fucking meters away from the president of the United States. - And then swing a gun at a cop, and then able to get off eight rounds? - You could take every E3 from CID, have them walk this, and every single one of them is gonna put an X on that roof. There's not a scene. - Yeah, from every single human on the planet that's ever carried a gun occupationally, would look at that rooftop with 150 meter line of sight to a principal and be like, hmm, we should probably have that covered. Not that there's a ladder there, which there is, not that it is the most perfect position to see the principal behind the podium with a complete clear angle of attack to that person. Like it is, so Rob, just pick your brain here. We were talking before you got on here on the spectrum of incompetence to complicitness. You're saying inside job. I am saying that a lot of the organizations in the department of justice, and a lot of the current selectees, the people that are going to different positions that are getting selected to go to advanced training, they're not the ones that need to one ever have the job, to get the advanced training, because they're not capable to fulfill the requirements of the job, physically, mentally, and election. They just don't have the capability, that on just on a merit-based ability, they can't do the job. So is this an inside job, or are we just so broken that that's the problem? - I'm not saying it's an inside job whatsoever. I'm not saying it at all, but it's so simple. Like what I was doing right before I had logged on here, I took my four-year-old daughter to the ocean, and we were swimming, she could've told me that's a bad idea to have an elevated position. Seriously, it's like, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Jack Ruby that took the shot and killed that supposed sniper. I don't know what the hell's going on here. But it just, it violates every aspect of tactics I've ever been involved with since I was 19 years old as an ABCL. It just doesn't make sense. And it's almost like, I don't wanna say the Democrats, but the communists can work to this to either like, well, now we need to get together. Now we need to, you know, whatever, as opposed to picking a side. But it's time to realize there's a force out there, like they tried to kill President Trump. And even right now they're single, the FBI is definitely looking into this. Into what? The rest of us know what the fuck's happening. And it's not the secret service ages on the ground. It's not the detail, even those three women out there, probably somebody like they were running around trying to make a sandwich. It's the operational launch. It's the people that get there in Congress and wave their eyes. It's, you know, the hires, higher up that are involved in the government. You know, I'm not saying it's an inside job, but I almost wish it was because it's such a competence. - Well, I'll tell you this. In the 82nd, if you were to send, if you were like a squad leader or a platoon sergeant or something like that, and you send a guy to Ranger School or something like that, and he just like dipped out on the first day, you're getting your ass hemmed up, right? And that's typically how it works in a meritocracy. If you're a bad selector of talent, right? Or if you misrepresent the talent you have, and then you get people killed, which is what happened yesterday, right? Then usually the price is your job. And we haven't heard a goddamn thing about that. Like, I know that it's gonna be not very politically expedient for Biden to fire a female that's ahead of an agency. That is exactly what needs to happen right now. And to the other point that you're talking about, Rob, about perception and things like that, a man died yesterday. We got lucky with Trump, but maybe the worst thing that happened was that America's enemies saw what's supposed to be the most elite protection detail on Earth, looked like a bunch of fucking idiots and get defeated by a child, a literal child, right? Like now, weakness invites aggression. That's how it works. That's why Trump was a good president. Regardless if you liked his policies or his bluster, he was a good president because Bush, Russia invades Crimea, fucking Obama, Russia invades Georgia, or I'm sorry, reverse those, and then Biden, Russia invades Ukraine. Nobody invaded shit when Trump was there. And there's a reason, 'cause he's an asshole. - Yeah. - That's the job, man. - It is, and it's also the job of the CIA and the FBI, you have to be an asshole. I'm sorry. - Both of which are rotten securities, the secret service right now. Like when I, all of our friends have left. All of the good ones are like-- - All of our friends have left. - Or they're so frustrated and their hands are tied. And in addition to the incompetence and ineptitude of the ability to do the job, the good ones are hamstrung right now. The good ones that are still in these organizations that are trying to make a difference, difference, they can't because they'll get fired. They have targets on their back, literally, and figuratively, where if they say the wrong thing about this overweight girl that was protecting President Trump, they'll get fired. You know, it's like, no, she's not good enough to be in that role. Cool, well, pack her bags. You know, like you don't understand what 2024 looks like to be in the secret service. You're right, I don't, but I do know what it looks like to protect a former president, and it doesn't look like that. So shame on you, and then they get fired. - Yeah, and now we've all seen the footage. Rob, I'll start with you on this one. If the president doesn't turn his head at the last second as he's motioning to the crowd, it appears to be a direct, it would have been a direct hit in the back of the head, and he's dead. We're 0.3 seconds away from America today, being in the middle of a civil war, if he did not move his head to the right. - Yeah, no, that's totally true, too, and it just, it goes to show you how everything you know, knowing life can change in the blink of an eye, and that's why this rhetoric matters. The Maxine Waters, when Joe Biden says, we got to put a target on Donald Trump, when they say an existential threat to free, whatever they say, democracy, it all comes down to that one person who believes, and this is very violent rhetoric, and it just shows you how quick that a bullet only needs to be right once, and that's all it takes. And it's the same thing with, I heard Dakota Meyer today said, you know, sorry, before he said, I don't want another 911, but I'd love another 912. He put on social media today, that today's as close as we've been in 912, and it might unify us, but it shouldn't come to this, because it should come through the reality of what's actually important. And if you can inspire someone to, whatever happened, to try to shoot at a former president, or a current president, we're not in the right spot here. We're not a position, like, you know, Donald Trump got trashed for saying shit hole countries, we are turning into a shit hole country, and then this is happening, they're trying to jail him, they're trying to do whatever, shut us down. We've all been canceled, and now they're trying to kill him. Like, what fucking point is like, look, no longer do we need to be friends, you need to decide if you want America or not, 'cause we're losing. - Guys, you've been on the show before, obviously we have some sponsors that do put us on the air, so I'll get to those real quick.

It's what I really like about it. That's what I really like about it. - And one would think, since he was shot, he was hot, and then he cooled down. - He's also got a big ass head. - Sure does. - Sure does. - He needs that extra support. - He's got a dome like me, friends.

Like Bryce Harper got fucked by his dad one time, not literally, obviously, but I think I go hometown guy, Adola Garcia. - That's what I said. - Because he's got his biceps, like I'm a pretty big dude and he makes me look like a little bitch, to be honest. So I think it's gonna be him. - Especially in the new format where he's not gonna get worn out like before, I think he's probably the guy. - I agree, it's his own park. You and I have been there before in the past. So you got short porches on right and left there. He's my dude tomorrow and I think it, depending on how it's split up, I think it'll be him and Gunner in the finals there. So if you're betting them, sprinkle on both.

Well, according to Biden tonight in his speech, which sounded like a campaign speech rather than an apology and trying to unite the country, I saw a lot on social media yesterday stage. So #stage was number two, right after Trump got shot, a lot of people on the left think it was staged. Well, maybe somebody got the perfect photo and they're probably gonna win a Pulitzer for it. But it definitely was not staged. No, I mean, and maybe all these people in the media and all these leftist dumb dums on the internet right now are gonna get sued for $1.2 billion. Same as Alex Jones. Right, why not? Yeah, turnabout's fair play. And let me tell you this, is no matter how much you hate the media, it's not enough. It's not enough. It's so disgusting. Margaret, Margaret Brennan, who's a CBS anchor, was criticizing Trump for standing back up and yelling fight. Like, I don't think in the circumstance that kind of rhetoric was necessary. Are you fucking kidding me? None of me, that woman was the last time she was shot. I mean, the fact that he was even able to get up, Rob, was nuts to me. And I'll tell you what they've been trying to also push this age thing on Trump. I'll tell you what it is. It's coke, it's liberal coke, right? We just saw it with Biden, he's feeble. He can barely read seven minutes. He can't even get to seven minutes on a teleprompter anymore. He's done, right? And they want Trump to be done too. But he popped right back up. They wanted him to get fucking killed last night. All these fucking leftists, like, have you seen this Destiny guy? You know Destiny, that fucking retard on Twitter. He's lost his mind. Like, ah, I hope we fucking die, blah, blah, blah. It's like losing his shit about everything now. This is, remember that woman that was screaming in the street after Trump got elected? Same thing right now has happened, 'cause they know they just lost. Yeah. Yeah, that one photo, when he got up and yelled, "Fight," that pretty much did it. Yeah. Well, there's a better picture, too, when he was kind of being covered. And he's doing the same thing, but someone's hat flew down and it's the inverted American flag, meaning, you know, in distress. And that's what this country is. And there's only, it come to a point where the communist media can only go so far. This is uniting the rest of us. And right now, it's like a tattoo analogy. Like, it used to be dangerous to have a tattoo, you know, and that was, you know, back in whatever. And it used to be dangerous to be a Trump supporter. Now, it's like, this is the face tattoo of 2024. It's cool to be a Trump supporter, 'cause it's America. And that's where, you know, seriously. And it's coming about and it's, and this is like the death throes of the left. And I don't even like to say the liberals, 'cause I think true liberals are different. These Democrats are communists. And these are the true fascists admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations, they're doing exactly that. Jail 'em doesn't work, kill 'em. And that we saw it happen in real time. And people like CNN, fucking Margaret Brennan, are gonna blow it off like, well, we don't know what we're talking about. Right. And I also want to point out the timing of this, because not only did he pop up and get one of the most iconic photos in American history, but now the Republican convention starts tomorrow. He's gonna be given a speech next weekend, which the world will be watching. We're typically, not a lot of people would tune into these conventions. The entire world will be watching Donald Trump give his speech this weekend. You know, at the end of this weekend. The most interesting thing, in my opinion, that's happened since yesterday, is that Trump invited Nikki Haley to come speak Tuesday at the convention. And here's why it's interesting to me, because he's taking the opportunity to try to, no matter how much he disagrees with the neocons, to try to reunite the party. It's a very savvy political move. He's behaving more responsibly in the past three weeks since that debate than I've ever seen him behave. And his lower arm eye line. - His post on True Social, you know, they said that he, they're gonna postpone his arrival to Milwaukee. He's like, nah, I'm gonna be there right on time. Looking forward to seeing everybody. I'm gonna go play around a golf. - Yeah. - I mean, he like-- - He played 18 holes a day. - Actually-- - Are you kidding? - I didn't hear that. - Are you straight up? - That's incredible. - I think I've got a story about it. - Yeah, they've got a video of these girls having a little brunch as he pulls up in the golf cart in the polo and it is pretty freaking epic. - All the way at the bottom of me. - How does that, how does the ear look? - Go ahead and see it. - It's PGA-T-U-O-R. It's like a fake Pete tour golf site. But they put, there's somebody that was his cart boy at Bedminster today. - Oh. - Now go to Twitter. - As you're looking, at what point do we get to start holding the media accountable? Where, you know, CNN is posting Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after he falls. Another one, loud sound makes Trump fall. Another one, loud sound being investigated as a possible assassination attempt. - Incident was used a lot. - Incident was used a lot. - No, assassination is what tried. - Biden just did it again. They keep calling it a shooting. It was not a shooting. It was an attempted assassination. - He sent an assassination attempt. - He did it in this one. - Yeah, he did. - The very first thing that he was calling. - No, the other tweets, yeah, yeah, yeah. - No, in the live broadcast that he just did, he said that one of our, well, a former Trump, not even former President Trump. - Well, you don't know how he identifies now. - Yeah, I don't want to judge that, Tim. - Yeah, I'm never going to say that that was a shooting. And to ever slip that in there, and it was written in there, he did call it an attempted suicide, but then he also called it a shooting. Like, no, every time, that is an attempted assassination attempt of a former president. And don't let people get away with changing language 'cause it matters, and words matter. And the media is doing it in a disgusting way right now. That is disingenuous, and it's dangerous. They're pointing the finger back at Trump, that it was his rhetoric, and it was his positioning, and it's that political party, that is, and violence is necessary to solve it. But look at what Trump said, like. - Even Forbes headline this morning said this will help Trump more with black voters that he got shot. - Yeah, 'cause black people get shot all the time, which is actually accurate. Bob, pull up that tweet and read it right quick. I don't know if this is real or not. This is something that somebody posted on Reddit. - Well, yeah, it's on Reddit that your Twitter account posted. - Reddit Golf. - Yeah, Reddit Golf. - Reddit Golf. - Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. I'm going to choose to believe this is true. - I saw a video, and that was the shirt he was wearing, and that was the hat that he is wearing. - Yeah, maybe. - I know that's just like normal go-to outfit. - Bob, go ahead and read this. - So the title is Trump's Round Today American Flag. I'm a cart boy at Trump Bedminster, where Trump played today, just about 16 hours after getting nearly assassinated. He was in high spirits, which was great. Took time to chat with a lot of the staff, allowed us to follow him for a bit. There was a decently big group with him. Anyway, I was able to watch him putt on the ninth green. He had about a 20 footer with probably two feet of break. Sure enough, he drains it and goes, "Difference between me and the shooter is that I don't miss." - I pray this is real, but there's no way. There's no way. I love it so much, I probably wrote that. - Just let it be real. - Those guys, like Reagan, when that pop goes off, he's like, "Yeah, miss me, yeah, miss me." When you're at the tip of the, on that stage, at that highest level, some of those guys just got it. - Yeah, well, it's hard to explain to somebody that hasn't been in gunfights before, but your brain operates at a different level. You're almost like unkind. It's like being in the zone when you're playing sports. Like, you're just doing shit. You don't even know what the fuck you're doing half the time, but everything's right. Actually, there is a reasonable analogy to civilian life. What is it called that it's something about when you're driving and your brain just goes numb, but you make all the right decisions the whole time? There's a phrase for it, but your brain just does, it goes on autopilot and does the right thing. - Sicko mode. - Yeah, maybe I should have a Scott. - Well, he murdered a bunch of people too, so. - Yeah, and he's got a lot to say, but question for the three of you. Have you guys been shot during gunfights and what was your response to it? - I've never been shot, no. - You? - I'm actually good at it. - Rob? - No, I've been shot at a bunch and I've been lucky. - Okay, same, lucky. - Yeah, same. - I walked out into a T-inter section one time with three other dudes and snapped right over our heads and we all just like stopped and then started going backwards really slow. Like fucking Peter Griffin. Yeah, that's the closest I ever came, shit. Okay, 'cause for me watching it last night in real time and then obviously going to Twitter and watching it over and over and over again, a 68-year-old man popping up like, or a 78-year-old man, excuse me, popping up like that and then screaming fight, fight, fight and he did say wait. So as they were trying to carry him off stage, he said, no, wait, fuck it. I want to say one more thing. Which fights fight fight. - By the way, somebody should have had him by the nape of the neck dragging him the fuck off of the X. - He's a big fella. - I do agree. - He's a big fella in real life. He's about six, three, what, two, 15, Bob? On that side. - He's bigger than that. - I'm kidding. - That's what it said. - He's cut, he's cut, yeah, no. - On that purple walk in Atlanta, I think he came in at six, three, two, 15. - Highway hypnosis is what that's called. - Eight pack, I think he's got an eight pack of the first guy with a 12 pack. - He's got a 16 pack there. - Yeah, but no, in real life, he's probably two, 65 to two, 75-ish, six, three. He's a big boy and it took men to get him down. I did not see a female except the one cowering behind him. - There are two girls, one of which. - On top of the president? - Yeah, oh no, there was one girl cowering behind him. There was one other woman that was on principle, so an immediate vicinity that piled on there and she was also the one that was giving direction and I thought she actually had some command presence. - She did, yes. So somebody starts saying, hey, what are we doing? What are we doing? Like, that shouldn't be a question, right? - Yeah, doing it. - I don't think we should ever rehearse an ex-fill. That's not necessary. - And that's what's, it seemed like happened, right? - But that is what happened. They had no idea what they're doing. - No, you can hear them counting, okay, one, two, three. Okay, now, one, two, three, what do we, and it was actually President Trump that said, "Let me get my shoe, hang on a sec." - Yeah, the principle is not in charge of fucking shit. Once gunfire starts happening, he's not the president anymore. He's the principal, that's it. If he can be mad about it later, but he'll be mad with less holes in his body. - So, last month, he asked for extra secret service detail. There was some rumors in his camp that there could possibly be an assassination attempt. To me, that's a no-brainer, and it was granted by Biden. With Biden, does he have the capability to say, "Hey, here's who's coming with you on that?" - I mean, he can give any order he wants to an agency director. - Yeah, he's the president of the United States. He controls executive branch. - Okay. - But that's not typically something you would go to the president for. - Got you. - Right, I mean, the secret service director should fucking handle that situation. - I mean, it's under the DHS, and that's us, Alejandro Mayorkas, down to the secretary of what's her name, Cheetah or whatever, but I'm amazed right now, 'cause you guys have been in the military, like if something like this happened, our top three would be fired for today. - For sure, for sure. - No, not about it. - Yeah. - I mean, it's not so much, 'cause like, as far as the presidential detail, the men and women that jumped on the president, that was awesome, because if you've ever been shot at, they ran to the sound of the gunfire, but it's the interrupts that, like, what the fuck, man? Why did you put your people in that position? And you're never gonna hear, you know, Barack Obama and Big Mike, who are running the show, you're not gonna hear them tell Joe Biden to fire someone. This is never gonna happen, but, you know, it's insanity why she's government bureaucracies that they wanna protect us for always until now. Now, I'm sorry, I wasn't gonna pass it on to somebody else. - Well, you know what you're seeing right now is a ship without a captain. There is no president right now. There's an empty suit in the Oval Office, and everybody's taking turns doing all of the jobs that the president's supposed to do, covering down for him. But nobody has the command authority to do what actually needs to get done, right? This is a rudderless ship with no captain. That's what this is. - Even more dangerous, they're so focused on protecting themselves, their interests, and their political beliefs that those, that supersedes the actual duty. And the duty has always been the call about why people would go into this industry. Why people would throw themselves on top of another person and sacrifice their life for somebody else. The greatest thing that you can do is give your life to someone else, and they're doing it because it's the right selfless thing to do. And that's because of duty. Well, that's no longer the purpose for being there. Now the purpose is power. Now the purpose is DEI. Now the purpose is the protection of these ideals and these institutions that they've created that are seemingly untouchable. They have to be abolished. They have to be dismantled. They have to be ripped down to the core and then rebuilt. They have to be burnt to the ground and no, don't take that out of context. I'm using it in a-- - Figurative. - Yeah, in a figurative metaphor, we'll see. And then we can, as a phoenix rising from the ashes, have something new, but until then, they're broken. - Men didn't love Rome because she was great. Rome was great because the men had loved her, right? It's G.K. Chesterton, it's a very famous line. I use it a lot, but it underscores what it means to be a cop or a teacher, right? Or a fucking nurse or a soldier or whatever else. - Or a secret service agent. - Or a secret service, any of that stuff. It's something greater than yourself that you're literally willing to die for. And if you don't have that, you don't belong in that fucking job, man. Because you're gonna get yourself killed or somebody else killed. - So in that, a police officer climbing a ladder, Rob, you're climbing a ladder because you hear people screaming he has a gun for three and a half minutes. Where's your gun? - My gun is out, I've got my, probably my secondary. I'm climbing this way, I'm going to engage. - That's right. - And you keep your gun right at fucking eye level when you break definitely that weapon's on target. - The first and last thing that person ever sees is your eye and your barrel. That's it. - If someone, if someone, not necessarily below me, beneath you, if someone doesn't have the eyes on it, or does have eyes on it, I can get the angle. And there's yelling, he or she has a gun or is a threat. I'm not going in there to back down. I'm going, this is where the rubber meets a rope. And I'm going to appear to engage. That's it. - One, two. - So I'm not buying that, sorry, go ahead. - Yeah, 100% agree, moving on. Guys climbing on a negative pitch roof. We have three snipers. We have one that has two guys, both, with 150 meters, or I think it was 163 meters from their position to the shooter's position. And you can see that they are zeroed on for 45 seconds at to the shooter's location. The guy clearly creases, passes the pitch, the top of the roof. And you see the sniper flinch jump come off his glass as the rounds start ringing out. Okay, Rob, you're a sniper. And you are looking in the direction. You got a distance and direction for a potential threat. You're on your glass and a potential threat comes over the top of the roof line in the area that you're supposed to be a counter sniper and start shooting. Please tell me what you'll do. - Well, I mean, when I'm at a point, especially there where they're being told how to engage, if I see a potential threat, I'm taking the shot without question. Where I back up there is because of the place and time we're at where how cops are treated. Look at the Marine who was on the subway and he rolled the common two come out, whatever. And he's going to prison. Because of rules of engagement, Tim, and you've seen it in Afghanistan, Iraq as well, warriors hesitate because they start to wonder about their own family. Am I going to prison for this shot? Is that just paparazzi? Which is where we shouldn't be. Backing up your question though, if I'm there, if I'm the sniper, I see that it's engaging, I'm engaging. I'm taking the shot and I can deal with the consequences because I trust my guys out there. And I hope I answered the question you were asking me. - Yeah, I mean, at the very least, if he's back behind definitely, and I know he's, and my principal still, well, none of it makes sense though. Because if I'm the counter sniper, but before I even take that shot, my spotter or somebody's going to fucking let the close team know to get him off of that fucking stage. None of this shit happened. - Yes. - And pardon to interrupt you, gentlemen, but two sources have now just told NBC news that the Secret Service flagged the building near the rally site as a security concern and investigators are scrutinizing how the gunman was able to scale it. No shit. - Yeah. - I'm sorry, what? - Yeah, so two sources inside the Secret Service have now told NBC news that it was flat as a security concern and nothing was done about it. - Well, so this is where we're having, I mean, it's just, it's nuts. - It's not nuts though. If you look organizationally, the competing person for the presidency is asking for extra help for his security. The people that he's getting are under-trained, they're ill-equipped, they are not the right people originally selected. They're still asking, they know that a suicide or that an assassination attempt is coming. They may not even had enough manpower, enough labor to cover down on all of the threats. They should have had Red Salt teams out there in all of these ex-areas that were concerning, enough snipers to cover every single line of sight. - I'm a private security company to stand here. - Yes, they have to, they have to. - Like you gotta do something, man. - At this point, my heart's breaking for the Trump family. I think about his kids right now. - I was on the phone, I saw you mentioned it too on Twitter today, but I was on the phone with three or four people that are friends with the family, like, hey, reach out to Eric Prince and get some fucking private security on him now. Like this can't happen again. It's not good enough, the service being provided is not good enough. - See, I'm worried about the, again, like Rob was just saying about poor law enforcement right now, the culture and the nature of the conversation and how everything's politicized. Like if you, okay, for sure, should somebody in the Trump family be calling on Eric Prince like and be like, hey, what do I do? Who are the right people to talk to? How do I put a real private security team in place that I can trust? It's immediately going to be demonized. You know, it's going to be taken out of context. It's going to be used to hurt the campaign. So how do you walk this fine line of like, oh, look, Trump is going to be using elite mercenaries. You know, it's just so toxic right now. - That's what they would say too, if that's exactly what they're going to say. - Yeah, and according to NBC News, the Secret Service designated that rooftop as being under the jurisdiction of a local law enforcement. - Buckstops here. - That's impossible. - The Buckstops here. - So you have a ground force commander that is in charge of the entire area. And every single, the county, the city municipal, the state, every single personnel gets controlled by that one person. He gets to employ who is going to be where and how, but it's his responsibility. - Incident command system. - That's it. - It's ICS. It's been going on for fucking 40 years now. Cal Fire came over this 40 years ago. - It's been going on 5,000 years. - Yeah. - Okay. I mean, that's, that's absolute nonsense. - You made my veins. - I know and everything I'm hearing, I think we're all thinking the same thing. - Seriously, if you're the fucking-- - They let this guy up there. - If you're the agent in charge of that detail and the fucking president gets clipped and your supervisor or somebody else comes to you and says, hey, what happened? Like, oh, that was supposed to be the cops. That ain't-- - Yeah. - Yeah, they did say, this is a report from the Daily Beast but it's elsewhere too. Secret Service used local, over relied on local cops just fill significant parts of its typical array of specialized protective units. That's a quote from the-- - Exactly, and I'll read one more Bob. They had meetings the week prior. The Secret Service ran the show. They were the ones who designated who did what they did and the command hire our crew. They were the top. They were number one. So now the local police is obviously blaming the security. - The local police are right. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - By the way, too, I didn't read the report but did they also add, other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? (both laughing) - And it was your fault, Mr. Lincoln, for stopping that slavery thing. - Yeah. - Good God. - Well, I mean, that's what happens, right? When you try to take their war away, they'll fucking kill you for it. They killed JFK for it. He didn't want to expand to Vietnam and they killed him for it. And that's what's happening. Right, goddamn now, because all that fucking sweet cheddar, that's all it's about. People are, all the conspiracy theory people are like, oh, it's looking, follow the money. The Jews are some whatever crazy bullshit people are saying. Follow the money, right to Northrop Grumman, to General Dynamics, to fucking Lockheed, to Boeing, to all those companies. That's where the money's coming from, right? - Yeah, and as we sit here and read the headlines and who this guy is, Thomas Matthew Crooks said he used his dad's gun to kill Trump. They also said he had explosives in the car, and at his house. Now, the father himself seemed pretty freaked out about the whole situation. - 'Cause like his gun. - Yeah, and he goes, I don't know what the fuck is going on. - But what the fuck is going on is his crazy ass kid got a hold of his gun that he didn't secure properly and wouldn't try to kill the president. That's what happened. - Did you see the video that that kid was in a black rock commercial? - Yeah, well, that wasn't true. By the way, it wasn't true. - Okay, good. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - All right, here we go. - It looked a lot like him, but it was debunked later. - Oh, we got another guy here. - Dallas Alexander is joined us here. - Dallas, I believe you're muted right now. - Native son. - Dallas Alexander. - Native son. Pop on in here, Dallas. - Tell us, sniper off. - Yes, sniper off. - The three of you guys. - The three of you guys get after it. - How do we do that? It's like, all right, let me see your longest kill, is that it? - I mean, okay, I think he's got the longest recorded one in history, correct? - He doesn't, what you don't realize is Dallas's camera is a thousand meters away from him right now. (laughing) - How's that zoom working out, Dallas? - Dallas, I think you're muted on your end. - Yeah, excellent with a rifle, not so much with the laptop there, Dallas. - He didn't go there and talk on a death home. - Well, he's half native, so I don't know if Kathy Hochl has an opinion on that one too. He doesn't even know the word computer. - Dallas, do you not spell the word mute in Canadian? Is he still on it? - Is he still in there? - We got it. - There we go, Dallas. - There we go, Dallas. How are you, sir? Welcome to the show. - Thank you. - We had you on a few months back, talked about your sniper skills and everything else. How difficult was the last night's shot? - Apparently it was hard. (laughing) - When you watched it, what was the first thought that went through your mind as you were watching the replay of the attempted assassination on President Trump? - Oh man, I had an immediate, in a split second, I had this instant feeling that there's something going on 'cause it's so absurd. But a rooftop overlooking a position like that, that close, it makes absolutely no sense. First thing I saw was that roof and the second thing I saw was the water tower. And I was out here in Nashville. It was just on a TV screen and I was like, this makes absolutely no sense. - Have you listened to the conversation up until you joined us? - Yeah, most of it, I was trying to figure out how to use Zoom, but I got everything. - Proud of you. Look, there's no way you got a college degree. I love you, you're a handsome man. - That's all you need is this, friend. And then the way you were able to play the guitar these days. But yes, you know, seeing in person like that, for a 20 year old kid, a lot of people are asking, how hard of a shot is that for a 20 year old with no previous military experience? - Well, I don't know about the shooter's experience, if you're saying he's had no experience. - No. - He at least so if he just handed the rifle right before that, maybe that's when he took whatever it was, five day shots. But it's still like, and again, what was the optics on the rifle, does anyone know him? - I don't know, the closest one I saw, it looked like it might be an EOTEC or something like that, but I don't think he had a glat, like real glat. - No, I don't think any variable power optic or magnification on it didn't look like it. - Okay, so that, I mean, it could be with no training, a tougher shot, let's say a hundred, what was it, 150 yards or something like that? - It could be a little bit tougher. - A hundred, thirty meters, give it a take. - Yeah, I think every single-- - Thanks for the conversion. - Nine year old in Texas. - Could do that, I got-- - Yeah, can do that. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Just checking. - Even if he just had no training, then I'm like, how did he have enough training to stock into the hardest position, like in the world? - That is one of those two things can't be true. He can't be like, a guy who's 20 with no training can't stock into a position that's manned. So we know that, the point of all that is we know for an absolute fact that there was nobody watching that building, no matter what any of these parties say, the police or the secret service, nobody was watching that building, the end. So maybe they had somebody posted on that building and they went off to piss in the woods or to take a little break or to play whatever people play on their phone, I don't know what games you play on their phone, I mean, too old. - Lex Friedman has just chimed in and said, thank you guys for analyzing the situation, meaning you guys, obviously I have no war experience outside of the four tours of Italy, I served at all of Garden. Dallas, what was the record you held, you and your boys there for the longest shot? - 2.2 miles. - God, 2.2 miles away. Okay, that was a guy in Ukraine that did it for like eight miles. - Yeah, you got that record broken by four over my man. Sorry about it. - Allegedly, yeah. - They actually added that shit to Wikipedia too. Have you seen it? - Yeah. - No. - That's like a 2.2 times further than mine. - Oh, yeah, it's close though. - It's close though, it's pretty epic. - Yeah, exactly. - So, Robin Dallas, you wanna pick your brain a little bit on, okay, shooting's pretty straight forward, counter sniper stuff here is pretty straightforward. I know people are like really interested in understanding all of that. And that's pretty straightforward in the sense that it was a cluster fuck. The biggest failures that I see were all of the things that happened leading up to him getting on that roof. And that goes over seven day time period. You know, you have plain closed people, you have the red cells teams that are walking in and around the crowds. You know the areas, and if this building was marked, there will, or there should have absolutely been plain closed secret service people working in and around that area. - You're gonna have a spreadsheet with a fucking location and a human being's name beside it, or a number or something. - You have, there's a party that's happening over there, a BBC interviewer, went up and talked to a guy. He's like, no, no, we saw him climbing up there and we're screaming for people to come over for five minutes. - By the way, didn't take off his Trump hat, didn't put down his beer from there. - No, he did not care. - No, no, you didn't, yeah. - So, Mike, my question to both of you is how many times did they fail in that seven day time period and in which ways? - Yeah, Dallas, go ahead. - Yeah, for me, I think it's, and you know, I've heard a bunch of different things throughout the day about short staffing or whatever it is. I don't think it matters. I've seen videos where on the ground, there are tactical professionals. Now, how competent they are, I don't even think that really matters. I think that a kid who plays Call of Duty or a paintball kid would like know that that position is the first one you're gonna worry about. And I could understand if the shot came from a mile and they're like, you know, we missed it because it's way far over here in the grain elevator or something, but like, that position is the first one you worry about. So, the fact that it wasn't being observed, it wasn't being watched, they didn't have barricades around it, whatever it was, or just the person sitting on the roof, it was like, you know, on the government payroll. I think that it's just, to me, there's no way to connect the dot, and the level of training, the level of competency, almost doesn't matter. Everyone who was working there went through some kind of course. And since I got into the military basic training, through infantry and into special operations, even like the worst and dumbest soldiers would be like, oh, guess what? Let's worry about this building first. - Yeah, and Dallas, let me ask you this. The shooter, when he was killed, and we've seen the video and the picture, shout out Gary Faust for texting that to me last night. Who shot the shooter? Was that a sniper from the Secret Service? - Were you guys gonna see it? - Yeah, no, I didn't see it, but I think I saw the video of the reaction. - I think that they put local cops up there to kind of delegate authority. I think, 'cause as far as I know, I haven't heard of Secret Service, Skye, I could be out of line. - That's all I've seen as well. - Yeah, okay. - I don't know what you were asking about the breakdown of the chain of command. Honest to God, when I saw it today, it reminded me of that scene from point break when the surfers came to beat the other surfer up, and he said, well, you know, you're gonna tell me how local's or whatever, and they looked at him and go, that would be a waste of time. We're just gonna fuck you up. That's where, that rooftop was so obvious. You shouldn't need to put a playing close guy up there. It's like, this is obviously secured, 'cause no asshole would leave that alone. It was a purpose or it's incompetence, it's hard to say. - Yeah, so some people in the chat, we're asking about, did he sleep there overnight or something and they didn't see him? One, that wouldn't happen. But two, so far as we know, they found, I think, what is his van with some IEDs in it, parked in a neighborhood across the way there, and he just apparently parked his van there, got out, walked over, climbed up the fucking ladder, got on the roof and started shooting. The, which is like, even worse, if there's a line of egress behind where your fucking point of view is, you have that cordon off as well. There's patrol cars back there, for fuck's sake. - So the dude showed up to a Trump rally with a van full of explosives, a gun, then walked to 150 meters to the best vantage point to see the former president, climbed a roof that had a ladder on it, and then shot at him five times. - And if you believe that, I've got some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. - Yeah, and it's a lone gunman, this is what the media is reporting, that was radically motivated with magnified ideas in towards fascism and anti-hate to Trump rhetoric. - No, I'm glad he brought the registered Republican. - Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm glad he brought that up 'cause he was allegedly a registered Republican, but it also donated $15 to the Democratic Party. He has virtually no social media, which for a 20 year old is shocking. - It's impossible. - In today's day and age, I get a 10 year old, Christ's sake, wants to be on TikTok every fucking 15 minutes. - Not until 60. - Yeah, no, and I'm like, no, get off the fucking TikTok. We're all done with that. How is that possible? - It's not possible. Everything stinks here, none of it makes sense, none of it's checking out. And it's moving forward, we have six months until an election. We have six months where-- - Four? Four months. - Well, he doesn't take the-- - Oh, correct, take office until six, yes. - So like, votes happen in November. - Yeah. - That's great. - Mm-hmm. - But he doesn't come in until January. - Yeah. - I mean, the real question is, how long have we not had a president? Because we were having these conversations in 2019 about Biden being out to lunch, and it was very obvious that he had vascular dementia or something was starting to happen to him, right? And this is 2019, September of 2019, is about when we started talking about this. And it's progressively gotten worse, he could barely get through a seven minute speech, six minute speech tonight. It's like, who exactly is the fucking president right now? - Yeah. Well, how do we, Rob and Dallas, I really wanna know, what do we do in the next six months? If the Trump team is in front of you, and they're saying, okay, we poisoning drones, another lone shooter, IEDs, blowing up a building and bringing the whole thing down on top of him, flying a plane into him. Like, how do we keep this? And he is gonna get the nomination. And so this Republican nominee for the presidential campaign in November, how do we keep him safe? Till January. It used to be gonna watch out for the absentee ballot drop boxes, which would happen in 2020. And I don't give a shit who you are, it was not a free and fair election. That used to be what you need to do, but like you're saying to him, now it needs to be a personal security, watch out for your families. Now that bullshit. However, I do need to throw in my latest conspiracy theory, get a load of this. A lot of this happened because of Josh Shapiro, who is the governor of Pennsylvania. He's a moderate Democrat, it's in a major swing state. And he came out today. And if you notice, as a Democrat, he said, thoughts and prayers, and we're taking a moment of prayer, blah, blah, blah. They're pushing Pennsylvania and Shapiro to be the nominee. And Joe Biden's not gonna be the nominee. You heard it here first, Josh Shapiro will be. - Josh Shapiro, out of everybody. How do you skip Kamala Harris going down that chain and go all the way to Josh Shapiro? - Well, first of all, she's retarded. - Sure, that's a fact, yeah. - Yeah, that's a fact, by the way. What he's saying is medical. He's not thrown around hyperbole. - I think it was a Montel side piece. What, 2024 was too much to put on a shirt. - That's three words. You need two words for a good campaign. - You sure do. - Yeah. - Well, I know, I'm just saying, I'm glad we're recording this. Wait and see, I'm right. - Okay, why Josh Shapiro? - Pennsylvania is a swing state. You can't win it without it. And they pull him and he looked, he sounded great. He looked straight, he's young, Democrat. They got no one else. He's either Big Mike or, what's that, Gage's name? - Buttigieg? - Yeah, Buttigieg. - Oh, I thought you were talking about Obama. He can't run again. - No, he can't run again, but his wife could, and they would certainly love it. However, he's skipping. - Michelle Obama could win at any time she doesn't want it. She's making way too much money, she doesn't want it. - Yeah, I agree. I'm looking at Josh Shapiro now. I just don't see how you skip a female vice president of color for a white guy in Pennsylvania. - I realize it's a swing state. - I'll tell you what, if the Democrats, they've already lost this election, in my opinion. - It ended Saturday night. - If they're smart, they get Biden out of the way, and they let Harris run and let her lose so that ends her career and gets her the fuck out of there. Because she is unelectable in any election, federally. Like there's no fucking way she gets elected ever, right? - Yeah. - So, I don't know. - I agree, I would throw somebody else. I would throw her to the wolves if I'm the Democrats at this point. Because you got to imagine behind the scenes, they're all huddling up saying, what do we do now? You had the debate disaster, two weeks have gone by, and then you have one of the most iconic images of a president in the history of our nation, surviving an assassination attempt, and then screaming fight, fight, fight before he's pulled off stage and into a vehicle. There's gotta be some talk behind the scenes this week of what else can we possibly fucking do. I literally said this on the show 10 days ago that you had the trials, didn't work, you did everything you possibly could, and my exact words on the show were, we're due for a good assassination, it's been about 60 years, and it happened 10 days later. What next, Tim? Because what you were saying earlier about flying a plane in or having a plane go down, that's kinda all you're left with at this point. - The drone thing is the real problem. Those other things are a little bit fantastical 'cause it takes a lot of moving pieces to do it. You can, some dickhead can buy a drone on the internet, make some fucking TATP at his house, and just fly it over, and we're not really that prepared for this kind of thing right now. - If you see the tech that's in us having a conversation with one of the most brilliant men in the security industry today, and he was listing this lintany of concerns around the former president's security, and he's a former one of you frog people, and he's talking about the drone tech coming out of Eastern Europe, and there's nothing that we have currently to stop it. - But what in the American public view, what happens Saturday, if there was another attack on Trump, as this is an absolute coordinated effort by the Democrats to kill the president running from the Republican party? - No. - The president nominee, forgive me? - Yeah, there's this meme that's hitting right now, it's like, every day for the past five years, that side has been saying our political opponents are domestic extremist terrorists and fascists, and then today, the day after the face of that party is almost assassinated, whoa, whoa, guys, maybe cool down the heated rhetoric, you guys are the ones that have been causing all the problems. You know, so it's, there's nothing that we can do to fix a broken mind, and their minds are dangerously broken right now. We, there's not like a middle ground for us to come to, and be like, hey, maybe we should keep this guy safe. - Yeah. - They're gonna try to kill him. - Well, here's the interesting paradigm that's going on in media right now, media and politics right now. The left wants everybody to cool down, call it we're just relaxed, right? And they all, they've all wished for Trump to get better quickly, right? I hope you feel better soon. Speedy recovery to Hitler, the guy they call Hitler, they want Hitler to have a speedy recovery, right? How many, you gotta wonder how many people are gonna wake up and be like, wait, what? I thought this guy was Hitler, why are you wishing him a speedy recovery? Why are you saying now that we don't need to get rid of him or whatever? 'Cause that's what you've been saying for eight years. - Maybe Trump's a great artist too, I don't know. I don't know, but one of the major talking points from the Democrats throughout this entire campaign was January 6th, January 6th. I've got to imagine one of the major talking points is gonna be an assassination for the Republican party, and I don't see how the Democrats can use January 6 anymore as an argument that Republicans are violent when you just had an assassination attempt on Trump Saturday. The next week is gonna be high stakes and then onto the Democratic convention, but Rob, according to you, in August, do you think he will be replaced? - Yes, replace, my guess is Shapiro, and I've been saying for a year that's not gonna be Biden because unlike the media that just realized the guy's fucking senile, we saw that coming a long time ago. I mean, Joe Biden was, he was incoherent when he was coherent. The only guy in the room that said we shouldn't go get bin Laden, we've known that forever. And now they're just, they're like, they've been trying to cover it up forever. Now they're, like, we're the assholes for, you know, pointing out the defect. But yeah, it won't be Biden, it won't be Shapiro. That's my call. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, whatever. I've been wrong before. - Okay, and then quickly here we'll go around the horn to end its, do you think Joe Biden will be the nominee for President, for the Democrats? - I mean, honestly, at the rate that he's diminishing, I don't think he makes it physically that long. And I also think that it would be very smart politically to do what I said, which is to throw Harris into this election and let her lose it to end her career, right? 'Cause otherwise, if she's the presumptive nominee, and that's not really how it works, if she loses this time, running in '28, probably isn't gonna happen for her anyways, to be honest. But you don't want it to take that chance. You don't wanna leave her out there as the front runner with unanswered questions. So let her fucking go in there and lose. That would be my, that's what, if I was a Democrat, that's what I would do. - Tim? - I've never thought that it was going to be him all the way to November. So no, the short answer is no. What I would just beg and implore the rest of Americans to realize regardless who is, that position never really mattered. From the beginning, we, the people, it's always been about the citizens, the Americans, the people that are the ones that had all the preponderance of power here. And we are, and I'll agree with Biden in his speech right there. We are neighbors. And I would not, you know, we were a centimeter away from a civil war. - Yeah. - And it was that his one degree change of his face direction and its cities are burning. And I don't want that. I want the world to look at America for what I fought for, and what Rob fought for, what Dallas fought for, and what even this bearded idiot fought for, you know, is something that's special. So like, I don't care about Biden for the next six months. I want the world to look at us and be like, hey, that's how you do an election. Hey, that's how you rally from one of the most disgusting acts of political violence, an attempted assassination attempt. And holy shit, Americans are badasses. - Yeah. - Well, I mean, luckily Trump fucking, I mean, the world's talking about it right now. We've had conversations with some leftist people over the last 24 hours, like Seattle leftist people. So real ones, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - People that kind of people that say, I would vote for Biden, even if he was a floating head in a jar, right over Trump. And as of the last 24 hours, they're all voting for Trump now. - Yeah. - And they say it's because that was badass. That's America right there. That's what I want to vote for. And maybe there's some degree of truth to that. But I think, I think deep down, no matter what the choice was going to be, people don't like having it taken away from them at the base fundamental level. When they feel that happening, they're like, you know what, fuck you. - Yeah. Yeah, I don't see a world unless he is taken out that he loses this election. And I'd be real curious to be a fly on the wall inside the Democratic House. Let's just call it Obama's House. Let's be honest here. I'd like to be in Obama's House right now and try to figure out what they're going to try to do. Yeah, that one. - The bunker, yeah. - I mean, the good one. I don't want to be in D.C. Yeah, I want to be in Hawaii. - But you don't want to be in Chicago either. - No, but I don't want to be in the lake in his guest house either. - Well, I could swim. - So could it shift? - Yeah, well, for a while, good. - Yeah, and then Dallas, are you still there? - Hell yeah. - Okay, how has nobody taken down Trudeau yet? - I play country music now, that's probably why. - Okay, got you, got you. - Just checking in from an American-Canadian perspective. I don't believe he's ever had an assassination attempt on his life, has he? - No, I don't think so. - Good, 'cause we don't want any political person of any party to be assassinated ever, but he does need to take his stupid face and disappear from the face of his planet for forever. - Go back to Cuba. - Yeah. - Yeah, go back to where your dad came from. - Absolutely agree with that. I agree with that entire point completely. - Another thing is, let's say this is all on the level that was this guard variety and competence by the cops or Secret Service or somebody else. Have you seen the reports about the kid that he's just some loser that got viciously bullied his entire career through high school and shit? - Oh, his entire life, yeah, when he was, it's been mixed back and forth. There was some kids that said he was fine, he had some friends, and then there was others that said he was bullied and everything else. I've never, on something in this high profile, I've never seen the media not be able to get a hold of all the information. - Yeah, well, this isn't just the media right now, the Democratic Party is protecting themselves right now as well. - That's what it seems like. - Everybody's scrambling to control the narrative and they're grasping at straws. - I mean, why does Biden keep saying we don't know the motive yet? Who fucking cares what the motive was? Find out why the Secret Service let the guy get that close first. Stop talking about the motive until we know why the fuck he was standing there. - But we don't know anybody who's friends with him, nobody's done an interview. - Well, they talked to his, they talked to the kids who went to high school where they said he just got bullied mercilessly. - Oh, they did, okay, I did not see that, so forgive me. - Which is like, to me, a lot of failures, everybody failed in this regard, right? Like the left has failed and they're violent rhetoric and the right has played into it to some degree as well. Secret Service definitely failed. Maybe the local cops did as well. I don't know about that yet, but the Secret Service definitely failed here and the response from most of the leftist politicians have been a failure, but parents failed as well. And I'm not talking about this kid's parents. Like maybe they failed, who knows, right? Raising kids is tough. But the kids, the parents who sent kids to school that mercilessly bullied this kid for fucking years of his life, look at a little weird, skinny kid with a fucked up face and instead of lifting him up and turning him into a man, they drove him into the ground until it became violent with rage. That's the fucking failure that really happened here if this story is accurate. - Yeah. - And it's unfucking acceptable. That's not leadership. You're not a fucking parent. If you're sending the kids out into the wild to fuck with other kids, instead of lifting them up and help them, you're a piece of shit. - Yeah, I agree. Now's the point in the show we get to the drinking bro of the week. There was a man who died yesterday. A lot of people forget his name is Corey, a corporate tour, died saving his family. - Correct. - Dived on top of, actually I'm gonna try to keep it together here. The Aurora shooting at the Batman Theater. Couple young men died with their girlfriends, their dates underneath them. In an era where I want young men to want to serve their country and to be masculine leaders and husbands to lead their homes powerfully. And young men aspiring to change the world. Like these are attributes and characteristics that are like infused in our DNA, but they've been demonized for the past, I don't know, 30 years. - Yeah. - I don't know how old that guy was. He looked like kind of boomer. - 50s. - Yeah, there we go. - I saw a picture with his 50th birthday card. - Motherfucker jumped on his family when he heard gunfire. Give me that guy. - Yeah, he did more than that female secret service agent did. - Like, you know, that kind of, I'm father of four, you know, like I aspire. I hope that I have that, but that guy's a hero. - Yeah, he's a former fire chief, by the way. - Yeah, and a current volunteer firefighter. You read the letter that his daughter wrote. It's just like, tears my heart out. - Heartbreaking. - Well, if you go to Trump's Twitter pages, they've posted links to the family's GoFundMe page if you want to get involved in that. - And I'd say it's already at three million. I think it was set for a million. I mean, they're dumping money in. - Well, and we'll add it to the audio description of our show when this goes out. So if you want to donate- - Hey, if we're gonna talk about fundraising, if we have to privatize Trump's security for the next six months. - Will he not do that on his own? - Man. - Or is it, is it that expensive? - Okay, so you're gonna take 25 Robs, 25 Dallases, rates for dudes like that are $1,000 a day. That's, so $25,000 a month time 30 days. So that's $750,000 a month over the next six months. So that's 4.5 million of just cost of labor. Now you have travel. It's gonna be 100% travel for next six months. The equipment that's gonna be needed for this, the authorizations, the authorities, the permits. I mean, that's gonna be a $10 million, I mean, like five to $10 million basic expense. Nobody's making money on that. That's just like the college. - Well, I'll do it for free. - Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. What do we have to do to take Dallases and Robs and throw them in real positions of trusted inner circles to protect a man? Any man, I don't care if the things were switched right now and it was Biden, I would want the best in the world to protect that guy, to make it to the election, to watch him lose. - Yeah. - 'Cause that's the American way. - And it's also the current president of the United States. We used to respect the position, we don't anymore. - Think of it this way. I own Lamborghini and I don't care who's driving the car or what my car to win. You know what I mean? Like that's where the standards gotta be. If somebody, if you're out there in public and somebody walks up on a poet who's trying to start some shit, you better fuck them up, right? It doesn't matter who's in charge. - Yeah, and a lot of people in the chat, we're asking. - Yeah, I think like something. - Go ahead. - Yeah, a lot of people in the chat, we're asking the four of you, if you guys would consider volunteering, I don't think it works like that, right? - I mean, we're in unprecedented times. - And this is gonna be an unprecedented solution. You know, let's say Rob Dallas and I sit in a room and we start hammering out what that security plan is gonna look like. I'll tell you who's not gonna like it, Secret Service, 'cause they're not gonna take or enjoy having auxiliary people attached. They're gonna have authority over them. - And that's what's gonna happen. - I think on that point, like, even if we sat and made a plan, let's say us or people, like there's enough throughout your country that I've worked with personally, like just hand over a plan, 'cause if their plan doesn't contain, like something in that plan isn't watch the most obvious position, then even just getting a plan from someone. Like, you don't have to necessarily be badged to go do something. Like that could be a temporary thing, it gets extremely important to make sure he makes his election and like you're saying, like, you know, thing like this, nobody wins if a position, someone in that position gets killed, like that includes in Canada, like it doesn't make either party stronger, doesn't make the country stronger. - And it makes America way, way weaker. - Now, to make that much sense though, all you said was, okay, first of all, watch the most obvious position. That's the first thing. And that was dropped. Like we would, shit, we'd save the government money here. Watch that, don't. - Yeah. (laughing) - Seems like an easy solution, doesn't it? Just put some money on the roof. - But to answer that question, absolutely. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And you heard Dallas say it and I know Rob would. - Awesome. - Yeah, yeah. - Well, gentlemen, it was an absolute pleasure. I'm sorry it was underneath these circumstances. Rob O'Neill hosts the operator podcast that is available every single Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
