(upbeat music) All right, guys, welcome to the stream. Interesting news, of course. It seems as though an assassination attempt was carried out on President Donald Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania, taking place in Butler, Pennsylvania, specifically, this is insane. This isn't, I don't even know what to say at this point, guys. I saw a text from Taylor on my phone today, and I thought, okay, that's weird. Taylor would normally just mess me on Slack, let me open it up and see what's going on. I open it up, go to Twitter, and see shots ringing out at Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, and I'm thinking, okay, that's nuts. Did anybody get hit? You see Secret Service, Russian, which we'll show here in just a moment, and just moments later, we hear that Trump was actually hit, it seems, either in the ear or it grazed his head, essentially, in this video. Let's go ahead and let you guys see what's going on, although I'm sure all of you are basically aware now at this point, what a dark time we're currently living in, and we'll talk about the speculation that this was something that was going to occur, and that the work has been really laid for this to happen in assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and here we have that attempt, and we're also getting news that a bystander, an innocent bystander has passed away as well with this whole incident that's taken place, and people are sort of talking about who this shooter could be. There's been a possible ID that's circulating on X, although I don't know how comfortable I feel sharing that right now with everything that's going on. We want to be very sure we're getting the right identity with the person who is carrying out something like this. Here is the video. - They see something that's said. Take a look at what happened. (crowd cheering) (crowd cheering) (crowd cheering) - They see something that's said. - Well, I mean, we'll run that one more time for those of you who have not seen this. This is nuts, guys. I mean, like as much as we could speculate this is going to happen, and it seems like the natural progression of things to have it actually play out and on live television, it's just a whole nother, whole nother ballgame. - Take a look at what happened. (crowd cheering) - And you see him there sort of quickly reach for that ear, and that is the ear that when he rises back up is bleeding, which we'll see in this next clip here. (crowd cheering) - What a moment, wow. And for him to say, wait, wait, wait. I want to stand here. I want to throw my fist up for people to see that I'm alive and I am well. Despite everything that's happened right now, I can't imagine the amount of shock you would be experiencing in this moment and to stand up and throw your fist up to let people know that you are okay and you're symbolic of going to continue in this race with what you're trying to achieve in this country. Nuts. I'm normally more articulate than this, but I honestly do not know what to say about everything that's happening right now. Of course, the New York Post is covering this, and we're gonna get into the media coverage on this because we all watched the video, right? It seemed pretty clear what was taking place in that video, and there's some amount of, oh, maybe the press didn't know exactly what was going on before they reported on this, but there's also, you know, the very light reporting happening on some left-leaning stations and as this was coming out and was pretty clear that this was an assassination attempt, they were being very vague in their language, but of course, now we know what's happened. Okay, Trump shot at a Pennsylvania rally. These are the live updates. Now they're saying that the attempted assassin is dead, and there is video footage of that. I don't know if I can show that here on YouTube, but you see law enforcement picking up somebody's body, apparently this alleged shooter, and removing them from the area. Now, of course, as I said, Trump clutched the side of his head pretty quickly as the shots started to ring out and you hear those multiple pops happening in the background, they're saying that at least one innocent bystander was killed during the shooting at Trump's campaign rally Saturday, and a second audience member was left in serious condition in Butler County, says the district attorney, Richard Goldinger. Obviously, you know, thoughts in a prayers that that's what you do, goes out to the individuals who have been harmed in this case. I can't imagine the trauma that has been bestowed upon all involved, including President Trump, his entire team, all the people present at this rally. What a horrific thing to see happen. And all this time we've been hearing the demonization of the right, the far right is what we're called, I guess, here in the US, and honestly abroad. And yet, which candidate has now gone through and attempted assassination? And when you're looking at the coverage of this, and people's responses to this on social media, it is wild what we're seeing. You're seeing a ton of people on the left take to Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and now on X, what is trending is how do you miss? Meaning people right now are asking, you know, how did he miss? This is one opportunity to take out somebody like Donald Trump, we all wanted to see him go. How dare he not make this shot? Yet we're the side that's being demonized. Trump supporters are the ones who are being demonized. We're the ones that pose a threat to democracy. And I don't want to use this time to completely characterize all left-leaning people or people who don't support Trump as being of this caliber. Somebody to attempt an assassination or support an assassination. It's just to say that there are people out there that in a dark time right now, in hearing about the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, they are cheering it on and asking the question, how do you miss? It just shows how far we have fallen and how divisive politics has become in this country. And in case you haven't seen these, let me just show you some of these tweets. How do you miss the fucking most important shot of your life? They almost got Trump, how do you miss? Oh, I'm FGG, how do you miss? You had one shot. And when we're looking at the media coverage of this, here we go from USA Today, Trump removed from stage by Secret Service after loud noises, startles former president. And you saw these people hopping on acts and saying, oh my gosh, she got startled by popping noises. He's so weak, you know? I saw tweet after tweet after tweet with a video that makes it pretty clear what's going on of people saying, oh, he's just frightened. He's being so dramatic. Meanwhile, he was nearly headshot. And essentially was, he was graced. This one from NBC Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after popping noises heard at his Pennsylvania rally. Interesting choice of headline. And I know a lot of people are gonna say, we didn't have all the information yet. These are very quick updates. You know, you get the video. It would be sort of negligent for the news to assume what was happening in this case. And I will hear you out and I will give credence to that opinion. But it's just, I don't know, it seemed pretty clear. I mean, while you had other outlets calling it what it actually was. So it's interesting to see the outlets that you could argue in a large part contributed to the demonization of Donald Trump covering his attempted assassination in this way. CNN says Trump injured in incident at rally, okay? Los Angeles Times, Trump whisked offstage in Pennsylvania after loud noises rang through the crowd. CNN even made a post, which I believe I think has been taken down or at least updated. You know, Trump falls during his rally. You know, we've been covering this in keeping up and normally we don't even talk about political candidates too much on this channel. But we are living in such a crazy world right now that there's, what else are you gonna talk about? I thought having a candidate with dementia who can barely make coherent statements who's going on stage referring to his vice president as Vice President Trump referring to President Zelensky as President Putin was going to be just about the craziest thing that I saw in my lifetime. And it would be one of those stories that when you're older and you're talking to your grandkids and going over this period of time of being young in my 20s now, that this would be sort of the pinnacle of lunacy in the United States. But no, we had to top it with this assassination attempt. And I gotta say, you know, I think this is pretty much cemented Donald Trump being the next president of the United States. I don't know what else you could possibly try at this point to bring this man down. And every single time something is tried, he manages to be victorious. He manages to create more and more support for himself. He manages to be reasonable. He manages to stand his ground and stand by the American people. And we've seen people speculate that this was going to happen, that this was going to be, as I said, the natural progression of things. Even Tucker Carlson made a statement last year saying that, you know what? After all of this, after all the witch hunts and the media coverage and the impeachment and the Trump trial and this was before finding him guilty, now finding him guilty on the 34 counts, what comes after that? With all this coverage, demonizing him, saying he's going to be a fascist dictator, that this is the end of American democracy, that he needs to be impeached, he needs to be indicted. Russia this, you know, Stormy Daniels that, you are rallying people to try and take this man out. And somebody decided to do so. They're speculating that this guy was a member of Antifa and I say was because he has been neutralized. He is no longer with us. And I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. You've been painting somebody as a fascist for who knows how long right now? And an anti-fascist allegedly takes him out? Shock and surprise. But of course, there is no shock and surprise because I think people were banking on this happening and they were banking on the guy actually making the multiple shots that he attempted. And luckily, he did not. And this is reinforced Trump's message. It has reinforced his strength and hopefully has changed some minds in their judgment of Donald Trump and who he's been for, I don't know, how long representing this country and trying to stand by the American people. Now here's a clip of Tucker Carlson from 2023 talking about the fact that the next move is of course, assassination. - I mean, you know, graph it out, man. We're speeding toward assassination, obviously. And no one will say that, but I don't know how you can't reach that conclusion. You know what I mean? Like they have decided, permanent Washington, both parties have decided that there's something about Trump that's so threatening to them they just can't have him. I mean, they're putting him on trial in March of next year in the J-6 case, which basically consists of trying to send him to prison for the rest of his life for complaining about the last election. That's literally what it is. Again, if this were happening in Moldova, the State Department would issue an all hands on deck order so that the world know this is not a legitimate government. And yet our government is doing it. It's like it's really, it's hard to overstate how bad this is and I'm not, I don't know where it's going, but there's a collision that's clearly imminent. And by the way, the president is senile in a way that's impossible to deny. Biden's not running the government, you know? So like, I don't know, I've never been this worried about anything as I am about where this is going. And there you go, Tucker called that, was most definitely right, put a coin in the jar for him, if you will, because here we are. And, you know, this could have gone many different ways. And luckily, his life was not taken. Unfortunately, the life of somebody at this rally was taken, which I cannot even imagine going to support somebody who you want to see be the next president of the United States, who you want to see turn around this country in the wave of issues that we are experiencing right now from immigration to the drug crisis to how we are treating our veterans, the housing problems, inflation, all of these different things. And you take it upon yourself on a Saturday to go out and support the person who you think should be the next president of the United States and your life is taken from you. By somebody who has demonized not only the candidate that you support, but you and everybody at that rally and everybody who supports him. And there needs to be accountability here for the language that has been used for years and years in reference to the people who support Donald Trump. There needs to be accountability. I don't know what that accountability looks like, but hopefully it's a lesson learned. And unfortunately, I don't think anybody's going to learn a lesson in this. We are so like tunnel visioned on our idea of what is right and wrong and pushing all the people out of the way who don't agree with that, that I don't know what's to be taken from this. But as I said, I think it's going to secure Trump as the next president of the United States immediately after this assassination. We've got a full endorsement from Elon Musk of Donald Trump, which of course his thoughts and prayers being sent to him to recover and recover quickly, we knew, right? We knew Elon, who I think was going to come around the bend and endorse Donald Trump, although he's never done it so forcefully before. But that shows you what the failed attempt does. What you've done now is, of course, with Trump's already growing audience, you've reinforced the idea that he is to be supported. And he already had the facts on his side. He already had an amazing performance at the last debate on his side. He had his last term on his side and all the evidence of what he's done for this country and what Biden has ruined over the past three, four years. It was a lot going for him. And now you attempted to kill him. And he got up through his fist in the air and told everybody to wait, wait, wait, so he could do that and show that he's going to remain in this race and keep fighting. I don't know how you could come out of this any better if you are Donald Trump. How can the media spin this? What are they going to-- other than giving it this shallow vague coverage that they've been giving it so far, how are you going to spin this assassination attempt into something positive for the left? I don't know. Maybe they're going to throw this shooter guy under the bus and say he's just a loony tune and he's not representative of any of us on the left. And we've in no way contributed to the environment that may have led to a person like this. Maybe that's what they do, the distance, distance, distance, distance. But we've really yet to hear anything. We've yet to hear anything from President Biden. He hasn't, I guess his interns, haven't tweeted anything out saying we should keep President Trump in our thoughts and hope for his speedy recovery and condemning the actions of the person who is responsible for this. Not yet, crickets. We have heard from the Trump campaign though. Pull this up for you guys. They've said here a statement from the Trump campaign. President Trump thinks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow. And that was from a Trump spokesperson. Man, tough. I don't know how you find strength in that. The amount of fear I would have. And this is just, you know, Trump's known for his rallies and going out and really giving a show and talking to people and being very straightforward with them and treating everybody like an equal. And to have that space infiltrated by somebody who wants to take your life is just, you know, an unbelievable thing to see. We're gonna check out Joe Biden's page and see if we see if we have anything yet. Okay, here we go. Let's read this. I've been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania. Who knows whether or not that's true. Let's get us in full screen here. I'm grateful to hear that he's safe in doing well. I'm praying for him and his family and for all those who are at the rally as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There's no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as a one nation to condemn it. So there we go. I'm glad, I'm glad we got a statement from whoever is running President Biden's account because I don't even think he's here all day to even recognize what's going on. He probably heard this news and went back to take a nap but somebody tweeted out from his account. So we'll give them kudos for that. Are we going to talk about all the different ways in which Biden has referred to MAGA Republicans and how he has demonized MAGA Republicans and called them a threat to American democracy? Are we going to remember when Biden stepped out onto that red lit stage and spoke at length about demonizing the other side while accusing Trump of doing so? And maybe that sort of rhetoric and language emboldens people to act out in this way and to get a gun, go to a rally and attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate. Maybe, maybe in some way, shape or form, you contributed to that. So let's talk about it. And that's really it. I mean, that's the news. I'll say I was surprised. When I saw the video I was surprised but when you sit and you think about it for more than a minute, there is no shock to be found. This is the next natural step. They tried everything. The media tried to call him a homophobe, a racist. That didn't work. They brought out these women to make accusations against him. That didn't work. They tried the Russia hooks. That didn't work. Still, they paint him as this fascist all throughout his first presidential run. That didn't work. He gets elected throughout his entire term. They're covering him in this negative light saying that he can't do anything right. Every craft statement he makes makes the headlines. Well, everything good he does for the American public goes absolutely nowhere. And still, he prevails through the impeachment. He prevails through January 6th. And they use that as much as they could to paint him as the next dictator here in the United States saying that, look, what his followers are doing. They're going to try to overthrow our governments, even though he told them to go peacefully and assert themselves. And we saw videos of the Capitol police seemingly opening the doors and letting them into the Capitol. Tucker Carlson released the footage from inside the Capitol on January 6th. And it did look like a bunch of peaceful participants to me being led around by law enforcement. So I don't know what you make of that. And yet, we heard January 6th, January 6th, January 6th, January 6th. And we have been hearing it ever since as a means of painting Donald Trump as some sort of traitor and as a means of painting his entire support as traitors to the American government. And guess what? That didn't work. So then we bring up the Stormy Daniels payment. We take him to court over that. And we alter the justice system in order to bring him down in this way. We take a misdemeanor charge and turn it into a felony on a dime to get Donald Trump and bring him down in this way. And does it work? No, it doesn't. He remains out on the campaign trail. And he remains steadfast in his resolve to become the next president and have his second term. So what's next? What's next is somebody takes it upon themselves. And I'll be so interested to hear the information about this shooter. As I said, they are sort of throwing out an identity of this person, but I'm not gonna show it on this stream. I'm gonna wait for further information just in case there aren't, there are some uncrossed tees or some undotted eyes in who we're talking about here. But he is allegedly a member of Antifa who posted a video on YouTube claiming that justice is coming, quote, justice is coming prior to the shooting. Yeah. So we'll treat some of your comments and see what you guys have to say on some of this stuff. We might, I get to all your super chats. This is an out of their stream and we're just covering this on the fly. But Jackie, Jackie says July 8th, President Biden said it's time to put Trump in a bullseye. Think he'll be treated the same as Trump for January 6th. Probably not. Probably not Jackie, but thank you for that quote. Yeah, it was interesting. After January 6th, I think, what was the main quote? Something about raising hell is what people were saying. Donald Trump really riled up the crowd or continuing the fight. Donald Trump riled up the crowd with saying things of that nature. When we've been watching politicians on the left for quite some time use pretty vicious language in talking about their political opponents and really rev it up their own audiences. Now, are we going to call that incitement? We either do or we don't. I'd argue that it's not incitement unless you tell somebody exactly what to do and embolden them to do so, but they tried to use that argument with Donald Trump. So where is the equal treatment? It is nowhere to be seen. So that's a very valid point, Jackie, to bring up. Oh my goodness. I can't think of a good name, says people are awful. Why are they upset that Trump survived when they should be upset, some lunatic unalived and innocent woman? Be upset at the shooter for unaliving someone, not for missing their shot. Yeah, you'd think, you'd think. But I remember when I used to have Trump derangement syndrome, TDS as they call it. And when Trump was first elected, I was a raging leftist at the time. And I was just crying at the TV watching this fascist homophobe racist be elected as the next president of the United States. You just have to think that so many people for so long have been brainwashed with that very same narrative. And despite all the independent media coverage that tells you otherwise, it's not landing with them. They truly think that this man is the most evil force here in the United States. Like he is the anti-Christ. And if he makes it into his next presidential term, that he is going to destroy all of America. They truly believe that. And I can see that because that was something that I believed at some point and fortunately was able to wake up from and realize, yeah, I'm a little delulu for believing that. And not only am I a little delulu, but I was lied to time and time and time and time again. So with what people are seeing, maybe I can imagine why they feel this way, why they feel like this is some sort of win, but they need to have the lights turned on. They need to have the wool pulled from over their eyes and realize that people have been setting this up. Whether they believe it or not, they've been setting this up. They've been encouraging this kind of action to take place. And they've been essentially asking for this. They will never admit that, but they've been asking for it. They'll say, oh, well, I don't agree with Donald Trump, but we just wanted to cover this and let everybody know what was going on. No, you wanted to demonize him. So somebody would feel emboldened to commit an action like this. Be honest with yourself. And a lot of people in the media right now are not too sad that this has happened. I think they're sad that it didn't go to its full extent. Gonna be so for real with you on that. That seems to be what's happening. Sage LG says, I'm not sure how reliable it is, but apparently the BBC is reporting that the police were warned prior to the shooting by people at the rally. That would be interesting to see. You would imagine that there would be a lot of these threats and things, especially surrounding Donald Trump and the different rally points that he hits along the way of his campaign. And I wonder what the protocol is for each of these threats that they receive, because you bet they'd be numerous. Even people who just call in fake bomb threats or fake shooting threats, things like that. So we'll wait more. I was so cautious about even going live and talking about this because I don't want to speak something that is not actually happening or throw out something that is not, in fact, real. So we'll see. That would be interesting if they had reports of this and didn't manage to find the person or didn't manage to take the report seriously. Smithy J says, we've had enough of thoughts and prayers. It's time we look people in the eyes and demand immediate action, ridiculous hashtag we're done. I think we're about to see the most action we've seen in a long time. And that says a lot because there's been a lot of action taking place in this country, both good and bad. This is brand new territory. We've not seen anything like this in a long, long time. And on the heels of his conviction during this whole Trump trial in New York City, on the 34 counts that he was convicted for, I told you guys, you're going to see more support for this man than ever. And millions and millions of donations rang in in his name. People were feeling galvanized, essentially, in supporting him. It did not deter anybody. In fact, I think it changed a lot of minds. People were seeing the weaponization of the justice system taking place to go after Donald Trump. Now, this is that times 1,000. Times 1,000. Mix it with the BS vague media coverage. Mix it with the people who are cheering this guy on and saying he should have aimed appropriately. I think if Donald Trump-- I think Donald Trump is the next president with this election. I don't know. The Democrats are throwing Joe Biden under the bus, putting him out in public to go through all of his different gas and his cognitive decline right in front of everybody for all to watch. And it seems like they don't know which direction to go in, whether it's in his or in some other, with Kamala or Newsom. I'm hearing a few different names just be circling around at this time. And now you have this assassination attempt. You're cooked, at least in my opinion. If for some reason, he does not win this next election. I don't know what happened. That's all I'll say. I'll say I do not know what happened. Timothy W. says this is exactly what comes from people wanting, quote, "revolution" on the far left or far right. Revolution breeds justification of violence. History repeats 100%. You know, when I was on the left and we were having these calls for a new American revolution or the second revolution in America, I never made the connection about how violent something like that could be or what it truly meant. I just thought, oh, we're going to get a Democrat elected and we're going to change the system and change policy. And I do believe that some people do think that that's what it means. But there are fringe groups of extremely violent people that mean a revolution when they say they want a revolution. They mean by any means necessary. We get rid of our political opponents and people who we disagree with. And that's what we're seeing carry out right now. I do wonder if there's going to be some sort of, if there's going to be some sort of manifesto coming forward on this. We have Biden delivering remarks right now. You guys are dropping in the comments down below. Let's hear from him and go to that. I hope they did a briefing. There's anything that happened. They learned more in the last couple of hours. So thank you very much. And I hope I get to speak to them tonight. And I'll get to back to you if I do, okay? President, do you think there was an assassination? I don't know enough to -- I have an opinion, but I don't have any facts. So I want to make sure we have all the facts before I make some comments. Any more comments? Thank you. Are you working on the same thing? Will we vote the answer? Will we vote the answer? The President is stopping short of calling this an assassination attempt. But noting that he plans to talk to Donald Trump and that his understanding is the former president is doing well. President Biden speaking out against the scourge of political violence, saying there's no room for this. And as we had reported a few moments ago, the Biden campaign moved. Let's go ahead and see if we can catch them. As he's ever engaged in making sure that the people who -- and we have more detail to come relative to other people. Let's see. We'll go find somewhere else where he's covering this. Biden live. So here. Based on what we know now, I have tried to get ahold of Donald with his doctors. Apparently he's doing well. I plan on talking to him shortly. I hope. I want to get back to the telephone. Look, there's no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick. It's sick. It's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this. And so -- and I want to thank the Secret Service and all the agencies, including the state agencies that have been engaged in making sure that people -- and we have more detail to come relative to other people, maybe injured in the audience. I don't have all that detail. We'll make that available to you. I may be able to come back a little later tonight, but we'll put out a statement if we don't. If I'm not able to get -- if it's not convenient for you all. But the bottom line is that the Trump rally is a rally that he should have been able to conduct it peacefully without any problem. But the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of. It's just not appropriate. Everybody -- everybody must condemn it. Everybody. I'll keep you informed. And if I may be able to speak to the -- to Donald, I'll let you know that as well. So far, it appears he's doing well. Number one, number two, that there's thoroughly investigating what happened to anyone else in the audience. I have -- we have some reports, but not final reports. And every agency in the federal government -- and I'm going back to my phone to speak with the federal agencies that are being put together again to give me an updated briefing. There's anything that happened. They learned anymore in the last couple of hours. So thank you very much. And I hope I get to speak to them tonight. And I'll get to back to you if I do. Mr. President, do you think there was an assassination attempt? Okay. And we saw that clip. Well, at least he was coherent. It's a few minutes of address on the situation. And yeah, I mean, he got all the way through it and we can understand what he was saying. So we have that. I guess they'll be in touch with one another. Of course, you would hope this political violence is unacceptable. We hope he truly means that, again, take accountability for maybe the things that you've said that would have led to such political violence, maybe the way that he's been characterized that could have led to such political violence. Like this tweet, here's President Biden. What do you say? Americans want a president, not a dictator. Who would that dictator have been? Where was the dictator? Americans want a president, not a dictator. What would you do if you were an American who was led to believe that the next leader of your country was going to be a dictator? What's the next natural step in that? Vigilantism, is it not? And is vigilantism not what we've seen? But political violence of any kind is absolutely unacceptable. And I, President Joe Biden, have never contributed to that in any way, shape or form. But there's the tweet. Americans want a president, not a dictator. Oh, goodness, goodness, goodness, goodness. Yeah, guys, I mean, I don't know what else there's to say. We might just leave the stream at that or we'll keep you posted. We'll, of course, be back if anything else develops. And if we get any more news on what's happened here, at least we did get an address. We do have some video here, actually, of some eyewitnesses. Maybe we can check this out and see if there's anything to be found. But we could hear them. So we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking. I'm estimating here. I have no idea, you know, but we noticed the guy crawling, arm, you know, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us 50, 50 feet away from us. So we're standing there and, you know, we're pointing, we're pointing at the guy, crawling up the roof. And he had a gun, right? He had a rifle. We could clearly see him with a rifle. Absolutely. We're pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground. We're like, hey, man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle. And the police were like, huh, what? You know, like, like they didn't know what was going on. You know, we're like, hey, right here on the roof, we can see him from right here. We see him, you know, he's, he's crawling. And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him up the stage? I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two, three minutes. Secret service is looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this. And next thing you know, five shots ring out. So you're, you're certain that the shots came from that guy on the roof? A hundred percent. A hundred percent. And he, he was up there for a couple of minutes. You saw him up there for a couple of minutes. Absolutely. At least three to four minutes. And you were telling police in the Secret Service? We were telling the police, we were pointing at him for the Secret Service, who were looking at us from the top of the barn. They were looking at us the whole time, and we were standing by that tree. Could they see him? Binoculars. Could they see him? Probably not. Because the roof, the way the slope went, he was behind where they could see. But, but why is there not Secret Service on all of these roofs here? I mean, this is not a big place. Did you see, I mean, obviously everyone, when the shooting started, everyone was very panicked. Oh, did you see what happened to him at all? Oh, yeah, they blew his head off. Okay, sorry. Secret Service blew his head off. Okay, we'd just be careful because we don't quite know who's watching, but you're pretty sure they shot the guy. Absolutely. A hundred percent. Okay. Yep. You saw that happen? Yep. Yep. Wow. Yep. And did you see them go up to him afterwards or? They, yeah, they crawled up on the roof. They had their guns pointed at him, make sure he was dead. He was dead. And that was it. It was over. What, what a crazy thing to witness. I saw this and I, you get like flashbacks of being in school and you're flipping through history books and seeing all the different things have happened. Biden says, you know, there's no history of this. Of course, we have things like JFK. Okay. And in assassinations in American history. So yeah, we do have a history of this and this is most certainly taken place before, but to witness it and be living in it at the very present is just a whole nother ball game. And there's almost like a desensitization to it, like a numbness. Like you see this and you feel like it should be, it should feel bigger than what it feels like, but maybe it's because we've been primed or I've been primed. I won't speak for you guys about what's going on here, but it's almost like a vintage primed for this is the next thing that's going to happen. This is another bit of news. Crazy things have been happening for God knows how long in this country. And the violence is just, it seems to be ratcheting up quite a bit. I remember, you know, reading those stories about the the self-immulations that happened, the guys setting themselves on fire, two of them, one at the Trump trial, and then Aaron Bushnell, who was doing it in protest of what's happening in Gaza. And you think, like, okay, I understand that people go to drastic measures to get their message out there and to, you know, have a manifesto read by a ton of people. They're really concerned about the world. They want people to know this message. There's mental illness going on, these different things, but what a gruesome way to take your life. And it seems like if we're just upping the ante quite a bit and this is most definitely, this is taking the cake. This is taking the cake. This next tweet here from calling Lee says emergency room doctor with blood on his clothes talks about trying to save a man who was shot in the head at a Trump rally. Who knows? I don't even want to play that because I don't want to, just in case it's not the truth, we don't know whose life has been taken and, you know, what's going on right now. How does one recover from this? If I'm Donald Trump right now, I don't know what I am. I'd be scared out of my mind. He's probably still in shock. There's not many people that get to say that they've witnessed something like this. There's not many people that get to say that they have experienced something like this. Just guys, I don't know. I don't know if I can show this footage of the the police dragging somebody out here or if this will get taken down. Maybe I can briefly show this to you. To me, as you're trying to figure out if you're okay, what's going on? Was he shot? Was he wounded? Then we heard him on the microphone, Shannon saying, let me grab my shoes as they tried to take them off. So we're just trying to figure out what happened. There you go. People are speculating that that's the shooter who was apparently taken off of that roof. But yeah, very interesting. I mean, some of you are saying in the super chats, they knew they had warnings that this was going to happen. Prior warnings, the rally, you have these people at the rally saying we're pointing, we're pointing, we're letting people know there's a guy with a rifle on the roof. There's a guy with a rifle on the roof, and maybe they didn't see it. You know, we've got to give a lot of room for the fact that in these situations, first and foremost, a lot of people aren't expecting these situations to take place. And then secondly, just there's so much going on in the heat of the moment and with all these people around who are here for an event and it's hard to put everything together and know what's going on, but we'll get more details. We'll read some more of your super chats before we get out of here for the day. But I don't know what's going on. Was this one fringe person who decided to go ahead and commit an assassination attempt? Was this set up? Were our people planning this? Was he the only one planning this? Were other people aware of this? There's some sort of conspiracy involved? So many things going on here. Oof, but to have it just barely miss killing you is just a whole another level. It's one thing, you know, if you if shots ring out and nothing touches you and all that stuff and it's still scary and shocking and horrifying, but at least you know, okay, the guy was a garbage shot and nothing nothing came close. But to have it actually graze your head is crazy. I keep losing the word crazy, not shocking. That's all I got for you guys. I'm so sorry. Andrew Velasquez says crazy how the left is avoiding talking about guns in this context. Yeah, I guess we'll see. Is this going to bring about the usual calls for gun control that we hear in the wake of shootings? Curious. I didn't even think about that in the wake of something like this. My mind is sort of going everywhere but that, but I'll see. We'll have to wait and see if this goes down the natural path of gun control. I have a feeling with the target involved. We're not going to get a huge gun control conversation. I would be curious to hear more about this individual, whether or not the firearm was legally owned, what his history is. Does he have a history of mental illness? Is he an Antifa member? What was going on? How did he plan this? How long was he planning this for? Because obviously this is premeditated. Let's see. Gary says this is getting ridiculous now as a British guy. I'm on neither side. There are extremists on both sides. But for them to say Trump and his supporters are dangerous. Look who's doing what? Yeah, I don't know. Look at the danger and where it's being presented. And if this isn't an Antifa member, we've seen a lot of dangerous moments from Antifa for quite some time. A lot of violence happening, you know, stabbings and shootings and violent protests. And during 2020, the summer of riots, or shall we call them mostly peaceful protests, we saw a lot of political violence taking place there. And much of it at the hands of Antifa. K. Danny says, thank you for this, Amla. I'm a black woman, considered white. Interesting. Stereotypes are, oh, sorry, wrong video, wrong video. Let's read this next one from William Alderson, who says CNN said that he fell on stage. Yes, they did. They put out a headline saying that he fell on stage. Let me actually pull it up. I have a screenshot of it somewhere. Because I want to read this for you. Yeah, CNN says secret service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at Raleigh. Now, for some of the other headlines, like after popping noises ring out at the rally, or after multiple loud sounds at the rally, I can understand a little bit of vague reporting there. You haven't, you've yet to confirm that they've been actual gunshots. So you put out popping noises because you want to get the story as quickly as you possibly can, which is a lot of the issue with our journalism at its very core. But to say secret service rushes Trump after he falls at Raleigh is the biggest stretch we've seen in quite some time. And I don't know how you would have saw that video or the live footage being at CNN and decided that that was the headline that you were going to put out. Knowing damn well, something else was going on. Knowing damn well. Okay, here's a picture. Warning in advance, there's blood in this photograph. This says at the Trump rally, assassination attempt with several shots fired, guy in the bleachers next to me hit in the head and killed Trump hit. So I imagine that's the innocent bystander that had his life taken. New lows, new lows, consistent, in constant, new lows in this country. And we're constantly asking ourselves the question, you know, when has the wave crested? When are we getting on the other end of this? When have we reached peak insanity, peak clown world? And I don't even know that I can look you right now in the eyes sort of through a camera and say that this is the peak. I don't know. Oh no, I don't know what happens. From this point on, what comes after this? A successful attempt? I guess if we're going to go even further than this, which we hope not. I shouldn't even have to say that, but we hope not. Or a super strong Trump presidency. Maybe. But my goodness, the poor man. Okay guys, that's it. What an interesting Saturday. What an interesting time. Of course, thoughts go out to Donald Trump, who seems to be in good condition, being taken care at a medical facility, thoughts and hopefully action on the other end of this to the man who had his life taken from him for just going out and supporting a presidential candidate. And that is it. Leave your thoughts in the comments down below. This is an interesting time to be alive and one that will be marked in the history books right now. It's crazy to think that you're in one of those days of like a remember where you were kind of day, but we're in one of those days. A remember where you were kind of day. So thanks for tuning in. Sit with me through this one as I've been massively confused in all over the place in this entire stream. But that's okay because we're all experiencing this and processing it at the same time. And with that guys, I was going to say have a happy weekend. Make the best of your weekend in a time for the history books. All right, bye guys.
