A.B.C. Thursdays. Welcome back. Grey's Anatomy is all new. Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? The drama going down. Bunchy jumper from the bridge. Your cord snapped. You need all hands on deck. Is unbelievable. You think your gods give to this hospital? You're just another doctor. My relationship with Catherine is complicated. I'm going to sue you. Your lawyers know where to find me. You're unbelievable. Grey's Anatomy. Only Thursdays, 10/9c on ABC. And stream on Hulu. (upbeat music) - Hi everybody and welcome to the show. Happy Monday and what a Monday it is. We have some interesting news to be sharing with you guys. I have to see a lot of you in the comments like, what again, again? Yo, this happened again, another attempt on Donald Trump's life. We have yet another assassin who has been apprehended is detained currently and is alive. So this time we're actually going to have somebody to question as to what the hell they were trying to do. Now this took place at Donald Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach. He was actually their golfing and luckily had Secret Service with him. Now the Secret Service agents were going around sort of scoping out a few holes ahead of Donald Trump and where he was playing. They saw somebody, you know, a gun really hanging out in the bushes engaged with that individual, shot at that individual saying, you know, shots fired, this guy was waiting at his golf course for 12 plus hours to put out a hit on Donald Trump. Now they engaged with him, they shot at him. This man ran away, he got in a car, was driving away, following the Florida traffic and then was later arrested and apprehended. We're going to talk about all that and more on today's show. Unpack who this guy is, what his motivations were, the media's response and the spinning plus all the different threats that have really been made against Donald Trump and all the different leftist rhetoric about Donald Trump and his, I guess, presumed threat to democracy that may have led to an attempt like this. But before we go there, of course, we've got Taylor and Nashua. - Hey guys, yeah. We couldn't have gotten back any sooner. We went a week without live streams, but here we are and another crazy, crazy thing has happened in the news. So let's get into it. - Oh my gosh, when I saw this, I was like, there's no way. There's no way to attempt on his life and what it's been. It's been nine weeks since the last time somebody tried this at his rally, of course, in Butler, where that assassin was actually shot and killed. In this case, we actually have somebody apprehended. So it's going to be very interesting to hear more about his motivations having be questioned in the wake of everything that's happened. We're going to read this article from CBS News to give you guys a little bit of land when it comes to this story. Since former president Donald Trump is, quote, "safe and unharmed," end quote, after Secret Service agents engaged with the suspect pointing a high-powered rifle at the Florida golf course where Trump was golfing Sunday afternoon. The suspect fled, was later taken into custody, as I let you guys know before. The FBI and U.S. Secret Service are investigating the incident, which the FBI said appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump. End quote. Now, if we scroll down here, we're going to actually find out who this guy was. His name is actually Ryan Wesley Ralph. He's 58 years old. He was charged Monday with two firearm offenses in federal court in West Palm Beach. Ralph has had previous encounters with law enforcement, according to court documents. Now, this has also been confirmed by other news outlets who are covering his background. This man has been arrested many, many times. Here's a news clip discussing exactly that. - 12 Investigates has confirmed his suspect has a criminal history in Guilford County. WXI-12's Joshua Davis has been looking into the suspect's past, and Joshua, you also went by a neighborhood where he used to live. - Now, that's right, Cara. Records from the Guilford County Sheriff's Office show 74 arrests and over 100 charges against Ryan Ruth between 1996 and 2014. Charges range over the years and include manufacturing or possessing weapons of mass destruction, possessing stolen property, a hit and run charge, and traffic violations. The Associated Press reports Ruth is 58 years old and lived in North Carolina for most of his life. According to the AP, he moved to Hawaii six years ago. Information corroborated with neighbors I spoke to at his former address. One woman I spoke to says she lived next to him for over a decade before Ruth moved to Hawaii. She says he came back briefly in May to clean out the rest of his house. She said Ruth was, quote, "wild, had numerous guns and was confrontational." However, that neighbor said she was surprised to see the news of his arrest in the West Palm Beach. - Now, how surprised can you be after this? How surprised can you be with the description of that, man? This is insane, actually. When I saw the news for the first time, I was like, you've got to be kidding me. Again, honestly, I feel like so desensitized to everything that's happening in the news cycle these days that there is not much that seems to shock me. And I found myself being like, okay, let's read about this guy. Let's read about the new attempt and not really letting it settle in how actually insane it is to have a former president and a current presidential candidate have multiple assassination attempts carried out against him. I can't imagine what it's like to be Donald Trump right now. You kind of can logically come to the conclusion of like, oh, this is kind of par for the course, given the rhetoric that is being shouted about him. Given how many people are comparing him to Hitler, they're referring to him as a threat to democracy. They're saying on this year's ballot is your country. And if you vote in one direction, you're voting for this country being absolutely destroyed and a fascist dictatorship being instated. So with that sort of rhetoric, B comes after A. Somebody's going to try and do the valiant thing of taking this guy out, because this is what they're hearing. The world's going to be destroyed. U.S. democracy, as we know it, is going to be completely done away with. Why would you not be the person who, you know, if you could go back in time and kill baby Hitler, would you do it? It's people who feel emboldened to commit these acts because they think they're going to be heroes. And that seems to be the motivation of this guy. Here's a photo of him of a Ryan W. Ralph Ruth, however you pronounce his last name. Now, he has a lot of like social media presence. There's a lot of videos of this guy out on the internet. Apparently he is super pro Ukraine and has been talking about that subject matter or trying to recruit people to fight in Ukraine and on behalf of Ukraine. He was covered in the New York Times here, where it says with Legion growth stalling Ryan Ralph, a former construction worker from Greensboro, North Carolina, is seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. Mr. Ruth, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan to Iran to Ukraine. And he's expressed, you know, his allegiance to the people of Ukraine and wanting people to fight. And he says it's a matter of good and evil. It's really, you know, a black and white cut case and that we should all be motivated to help those in Ukraine. Here is a photo of his little nesting spot that he had at the golf course, which like I said, dude hung out there for 12 hours. He had his gun set up to take Donald Trump out. He apparently had a black bag of food, I guess for sustenance while he was waiting on your boy Trump to come around his part of the golf course and he had a GoPro on him, which insinuates that he had intended to film this altercation, film his assassination attempt. And I guess presumably posted on the internet and of course take credit for taking Donald Trump's life. Maybe the reason I'm so desensitized to this is just that like it feels like the natural progression of things like what do you expect people to do when this is the way that you talk about this man? I'm so tired of like hearing the same, you know, just played out old, tired, you know, as Kamala referred to Trump at the end of the debate, this old tired rhetoric that they throw out in regard to him. And I forget how many, absolutely that shit crazy people are being motivated towards this end when they hear stuff like this about Donald Trump. Even when I was a crazy leftist, right? You know, I was thinking these things about Donald Trump. You guys know I tell the story, I cried when Donald Trump was elected president and when we heard that, you know, the votes were moving in his favor, tears were streaming out of my face. Not once did I ever think, you know, this guy needs to be taken out. This guy needs to be assassinated. And maybe I just wasn't as radical as a lot of people are these days, but just in the same way with the first assassination attempt in Butler, we're seeing people say like, how did you miss? You know, he was trying to do us a great service. How does one miss a second time? Don't tell me that you get two chances that taking this man's life and both of you were unsuccessful. This is absolutely ridiculous. I can't imagine somebody on this side of the aisle saying anything like that. And you know, I'm sure there's a few very extreme people out there with some very extreme rhetoric, but the length at which people are going to talk about this and to cheer this guy on and to say that they wish he was successful is just astounding to me. And I guess I hear so much of it that it just doesn't hit like it should. This should be way more shocking to all who are hearing it than it actually is. And that's the fault of the media. That's the fault of the constant ever-changing news cycle. It's the fault of the consistent, I think, violence that we are being subjected to and seeing and taking in on a daily basis and just, you know, rhetoric moving in a direction that is not helpful in any way, shape, or form. And Donald Trump spoke about this at the debate last week with Kamala Harris. Now, we're going to play this clip. I do have something to say about this clip, but here's him talking about the rhetoric in regard to him and his campaign and how, you know, B comes after A in a lot of cases. - This is the one that weaponized, not me, she weaponized. I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me. They talk about democracy. I'm a threat to democracy. They're the threat to democracy. It was a fake Russia, Russia, Russia investigation. - We do a lot of it. - That went nowhere. - Okay, now interestingly in this clip, he says, you know, they're the ones who are leading to the assassination at times on me because they're calling me a threat to democracy and then he turns it back and says, "They're the threat to democracy." And I have to think about that because if you're going to accuse somebody of, you know, bringing out violence to take you out because they call you a threat to democracy, it kind of does make them a threat to democracy because if their rhetoric is leading to assassination attempts on your life, which is really, you know, a fork in the side of democracy, if you think about it, then they are one, but I do feel like this rhetoric needs to just like a full stop, full stop. Can we, can we full stop calling people threats to democracy saying that like this is the end of the world if they get elected and we know where the bulk of that rhetoric is being, you know, espoused, is being spouted and thrown out to us and it is on the political left, the Trump campaign actually went and posted a list of all the different times somebody has referred to Trump as a threat to democracy or where somebody may have could have gotten the idea that he is going to be a fascist dictator in the world and they release this, which I think is the smartest thing to do for his campaign right now. Says here, Democrats rhetoric inspired another attempt on President Trump's life. Says here, Kamala Harris repeatedly trumps a threat to our democracy and our fundamental rights and it just over and over, Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, Joe Biden, it's time to put Trump in a bullseye, Joe Biden. I mean, I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation. Tim Walz, are Republicans a threat to democracy? Yes, they are going to put people's lives and are they going to put people's lives in danger? Yes, Gwen Walz, Buh-bye Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Trump is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen. That's even crazier to say. Like this is a kind of threat that we have yet to see in American history. Here we have Dan Goldman, he's saying he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated. A Harris staffer saying Trump is an existential urgent threat to our democracy. And this list goes on and on and on. Things like Trump needs to be shot, of course the same rhetoric of an existential threat. He's an extreme danger to our democracy. We cannot underestimate the threat that Trump poses to American democracy. It's almost like there's like a universal memo sent out to everybody on this side of the aisle for things that they should say about Donald Trump. These very incendiary things. You'll remember Jake Tapper referring to Donald Trump and comparing him to Adolf Hitler and saying that his rhetoric is very similar. Democrats say that time and time again in response to Donald Trump. Most recently, as he's been talking about Springfield, Ohio and the valid complaints that residents of Springfield, Ohio are bringing forward, many are comparing what Trump is saying to the words of Adolf Hitler. What do you think people are going to do when you talk about somebody like that? Who in their right mind is not gonna go, yeah, why don't we take out Adolf Hitler before he becomes the Adolf Hitler? Of course they're going to try and do whatever it is they can to take care of this guy. And Ryan Ralph in some of the videos that we see about him, you can see, you know, he's got some pretty clear black and white thinking on these issues. It's no surprise that he is an individual that might carry out and act like this. Just so you can get a feel for his personality and who he is, here's a little clip of him that is resurfaced of him talking about what's happening in Ukraine. - Please tell me who you are and why are you here? - 56 from the US, from North Carolina originally. So live in Hawaii now. So flew all the way from Hawaii here. So a question as far as why I'm here. To me, you know, a lot of other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white. This is about good versus evil. This is a story book, you know, any movie we've ever watched. This is definitely evil against good. I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, the Ukrainians in the rest of the world are caring and kind and generous and unselfish and take care of one another. And it's just a matter of, you know, we need to stand up for that. That is the most important thing in the world. It's just the show of human beings that we're kind and that we're caring and that we take care of one another and that the world is united. - I didn't age well, did it? That sentiment of kindness, caring, unifying, didn't age too well at all. But it's interesting that he would say something like that. And then believe that his actions in regard to President Donald Trump are exemplary of that sort of ideology. He truly thinks he is being kind and caring, a unifier. But under, underlying the things he's talking about is this sort of globalist, collectivist mindset towards the world, towards good and evil and about what should be done about this presumed evil. - So that we feed each other and make sure that, you know, we all move forward as one collective whole unit. So, you know, we feel the pain of one country's failure and their conflicts and we enjoy the successes of other countries that are doing good and we all work together. And for some reason, Russia does not grasp this concept that we're all one unit and we have to get along and work together and be normal human beings. - Be normal human beings, am I right, guys? Super normal to hang out at Trump's golf course for over 12 hours to try to take his life with an AK-47. Let's all be normal people, can we please? Can we all agree that we should just be normal individuals? And you know what? This is so often what I say about, you know, this sort of ideology, such beautiful. Oh, we need to all work together as one unit and come together to be kind and unifying and accepting and I don't know why Russia doesn't understand that. And then you're the guy who hangs out at the golf course with the gun to take out a former president. Okay, mm-hmm, okay. Of course, a lot of what he's saying is collectivist. It's globalist. It's no surprise that the candidate that he seems to support is Kamala Harris. And I guess this is up for debate because the media is apparently not being very forthright about this guy's political affiliation. He's donated to act blue on many an occasion, over $100 to Democrat causes. He voted in the Democrat primary. He has rhetoric online, disavowing Trump, saying that he's not a great person, that something needs to be done about him. He wrote a book and in that book, he requests that somebody assassinate Donald Trump. So, I think we know what his political affiliation is. Yet we have, let me let me pull up some of these headlines and how people are talking about him. Here we go, this is from time. The suspect arrested in relation to the shooting at Trump's golf course in Florida on Sunday has been identified as Ryan Ralph, a 58 year old, with unclear political ideology. Just look at that. Unclear political ideology. It's pretty clear. I don't know. I mean, I have two eyes. They work. I'm also listening to this guy. I'm hearing what he's saying. And it seems like his political affiliation and his political ideology is pretty clear to me. I mean, I don't know how much more you need other than he tried to assassinate Donald Trump. But of course, there's more. And this guy has an extensive online record and an extensive criminal record. And we can find out his voting record. There's a lot to be cleaned from his activity within society and online. So I'm just not sure how unclear it could possibly be. But in the wake of all these things, we always get a fun little media spin. Here's one from The Washington Post. This one says another chance for Trump's framed Democrats is dangerous, has emerged. Another chance for Trump to frame Democrats is dangerous, has emerged. And you know what? The amount of flipping and spinning, y'all might as well be an Olympic gymnast with what y'all are doing in the media right now because it's crazy how you could take an attempted assassination and spin it in this way to somehow make it Trump's fault or somehow make it something that he can utilize for his campaign. You know what? If I was nearly assassinated, not once but twice, you better be for damn sure I'm using it for the campaign. I'm gonna be, y'all, my hand would not come off my ear. I'd be like, oh my gosh, this hurts. Because are you kidding me? And we know that these people are motivated by the rhetoric of Trump's opposition and things that they're saying. And by opposition, I don't just mean the Harris Walls campaign. I mean the entire media apparatus. I mean all of these major corporations that are working in Canada to bring this down. I mean the deep state. I mean every single person that is working together as part of a large machine to stop this man from being, you know, given a second term. And we've seen this where I don't even know how long. How long have we covered the media spin of Donald Trump? It's just no surprise. And you know, I don't know that it stops here. This is two assassination attempts. And I'm saying something insane. I don't know that it stops there because why would it when you have this many insane people running around who are taking in this media? And if you wanna hear more examples, like if the colds aren't enough, oh they were posted by Trump's campaign, that's biased. Let's just hear more people talk about this guy being a threat to democracy. Recently we did a video on celebrities who are saying things that are not typical of celebrities. We saw Usher on the view and he was questioned by Joy Behar. He's a supporter of Kamala Harris. And Joy Behar essentially said, you know, give him. You know, give us an endorsement. Say a little bit more about how wonderful Kamala is. Trump is a threat to democracy. Let's hear it. - In this emergency that we're in, I think that the whose artists just come out and speak for Kamala against Donald Trump. 'Cause he is an existential threat to the country. What do you say to that? - You know what, I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get a chance to watch the big last night. I obviously have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is an individual choice. And I think that you're right. You have to look at the reality of the country that we are and the country that we want to be. And find the candidate that you feel both are who fits the category of where we wanna be. And that's it. And that's what you vote based off of. Who you highlight and how you choose to highlight it on whatever platform you have. Is your prerogative. - Yes. - Yes. - Yeah. (audience applauds) - That is really the sort of like begrudging. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I wanted you to say it was a threat to democracy and an existential one. But yeah, yeah, yeah, vote for whoever. Just do your research. You know that's not at all what she wanted that man to say. She wanted him to come down after Trump and say he needs to be dealt with. If the quotes weren't enough on Trump's campaign, if the video wasn't enough, how about pictures? How about that? You all remember Kathy Griffin when she was holding a, that decapitated Trump head. I remember when she got some backlash for that one. Look at these photos of Trump as the devil being burned, all these different things. The guillotine here in the right top, right? That's a fan favorite, that one. Have y'all seen this much in regards to like any other candidate before ever in human history? I mean, not much comes to mind for me with this one. And I just don't know how like, they've been so brazen about it. And still, in the wake of all this, they're not dialing it down. Instead, what they're doing is they're saying that Trump needs to dial it down, that it's his fault. We're gonna play you a clip here. This is from MSNBC. Somehow, we're gonna find a way to blame Trump for his own assassination attempts. Yeah, do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to do that? Because he's gonna reach out to his supporters and say, let's take this down. We do not know again, the source of any gunshot or gunshots. We don't know who's responsible for this. The whole thing has yet to be 100% confirmed from start to finish how this all played out. But do you expect to hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric, toning down the violence? Or would that be a typical of the former president? Well, Alex, remember back to the assassination attempt from President Trump's life and how, you know, there was talk of a new tone. And then the Republican convention was by Trumpian standards muted. And it did seem like he was, you know, just trying to take it down a few notches. But then by the end of his convention speech, you know, we were kind of back to where we started. So I don't know how long this could, you know, this moment of unity for the country where we come together and we say, I don't want any political opposition to be under threat of violence. It's not okay, any threat of violence, you know, we don't want, I would love for us to have a unity type moment. But I think it's probably gonna be pretty fleeting as we've seen in the past. (laughing) What are you talking about? That's crazy, that's crazy. Now, why somebody has tried to shoot this man. The ops came for his neck and you're telling him, can you tone it down a bit? It's actually your fault. I think it's, I really think it's the violent rhetoric that you're spewing, that is leading to violence on our side of the aisle, you know? So sorry for the people on our end of things trying to shoot you, but it's really because of your tone. (laughing) Guys, I don't need to tell you how crazy that is. You guys know how crazy it is, okay? And that's not the only clip. Here's another clip from NBC. This is from Lester Holm. (laughing) Here's what he had to say. - Today's apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself. Mr. Trump has running made JD Vance continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio. This weekend there were new bomb threats in that town. Our Maggie Vespa is in Columbus, Ohio with more. - Lester simply puts Springfield, Ohio has been inundated by threats. Over the last several days, closing government buildings, schools, hospitals, today effectively closing a local university campus. After administrators said someone threatened a mass shooting targeting Haitians. This in light of officials say a false online conspiracy theory alleging Haitian immigrants in that city are eating people's pets. Something. - Yeah, I'm really glad that we just brushed over the whole assassination attempt thing and just veered in the direction of blaming Trump because Springfield, Ohio. (laughing) Because he listened to valid concerns from Springfield, Ohio residents. And now, you know, that's apparently his fault for doing that, for trying to talk about that publicly. And now let's talk about how Ohio is receiving threats. Threats of violence. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is experiencing actual violence, but let's not talk about that because it's his fault. It's like when your abusive boyfriend beats you up and he's like, I'm sorry, it's your tone of voice. I mean, you came at me with a certain tone and that inspired me to beat the shit out of you. So if you could just police your tone a little bit next time you talk to me, the gaslighting is too real. It is too real. Sorry, Taylor, you haven't even, I've been yapping. I'm speaking yapping, he's like, "What's going on?" - Yeah, I mean, I don't, you're doing a good job unpacking. It's a lot to take in. Yeah, it's, I just wonder, do you think they really believe in this threat to democracy narrative? Now, I'm not gonna say credit to the shooter, but he's at least logically consistent with this threat to democracy narrative because he's doing the logical thing that you would do if you actually believed that. But it's very interesting that it's raw, raw, raw. He's a threat to democracy, he's an existential threat. He's gonna be a dictator on day one. This is the kind of rhetoric we're getting out of Kamala Harris, Democrats and media. And yet whenever something like this actually happens, of course, one, they're not responsible for it. And two, they try to have their cake and eat it too and say, well, well, we don't condone violence, but you're calling this an existential threat to democracy. So which is it? It feels like they're trying to have it both ways there. Yeah, I don't feel like they actually believe it. I genuinely, I think people who are much higher than maybe the talking heads that we're watching on the news recognize the threat that Trump poses to their power and them being able to wield that power over us collectively, which they do on any given day with the different narratives that they span, the corporations they work with, da, da, da, da, da. You guys know the whole deep state narrative or whatever. And then they just package up these talking points and send them out to their little crows to just chirp at you all over the news. And that's why we're constantly getting the threat to democracy, threat to democracy, threat to democracy. And clearly they are hoping for some sort of result in utilizing that rhetoric. Now, which result I cannot say? I'm not going to accuse them of hoping for an assassination. I'm just going to say that's the natural progression when you use words like that. And when you place somebody in the category of being an existential threat to democracy, whether or not they're masterminding this on their end of things, I don't know. All I know is that B comes after A. So I'll keep saying that over and over and over again. And instead of owning up to it, taking some accountability saying, you know what? Might be, probably shouldn't have called you an existential threat to democracy. Probably could tone it down a little bit. They blame you. They think you're stupid. This has just been the message that I have to punch through in everything that I'm watching these days from the debate obviously being rigged by ABC and then pulling the strings and trying to make Trump look as horrible as possible to assassination attempt number one, to assassination attempt number two and all the rhetoric in between and before all of these different instances, they think you're stupid. They think they can literally spin you a story, put it to you on the big screen and that you're just gonna go, oh yeah, existential threats to democracy. Gonna remember that when I go to the ballot box because it's totally possible that 50% of this nation is in support of an existential threat to democracy and they want to see the very fabric of the United States just completely burnt, you know, to the ground. That's plausible because the media told me so and they think you're dumb. They really do. I don't know how else to put it. I don't know what other way this can be spun. They will find a way to spin it though. Here's like, here's some more examples. This is Trump, the New Republic, American fascist, made to look like Hitler, brilliant and insurgent in the White House. There's a Donald Trump with a Molotov cocktail, the Economist, the New Yorker here, Trump, good old KKK sale there on the boat. Awesome, the Economist, the world ahead 2024. And there's a Donald Trump just bringing a black shadow over the Earth. Y'all, this is insane. And you know, a lot of people are gonna say, you know, that's two attempts on his life. You know, I'm gonna vote for him even harder. And I hope it's more than just the attempts on his life that maybe lead you to support him 'cause I don't think that's enough. But let's just say these things are happening for a reason and the reasons are laid out. I wouldn't listen to the media that's trying to clearly save their ass as much as possible. And they know that Trump is a threat to the propaganda machine and the lies that they can sell you on any given day. So here they are going to be spending the story as much as possible. We're gonna hear more because as I said, this Ryan Ralph guy has actually been apprehended. So there will be interview after interview, interrogation, this, that, the other court, a trial of some sort, I'm presuming. And maybe we'll get a clearer indication of what his narrative is, why he felt the need to do this, what his motivations were and are. I'm wondering, I mean, one would expect that you would die trying to take out the former president that he write a note, a manifesto of any kind. Did he, how long in advance had he planned for this moment? It seems like this has been something that he's been sitting on for quite some time, thinking about for quite some time as a spoke about the book that he wrote, asking that Trump be assassinated. So at some point he decided to take it into his own hands and I wonder what that process was like, who he felt he was motivated by. And again, did he write anything prior to going out and doing this? What was his message to the world on it? I mean, I can infer giving the money in the social media posts and all that fun stuff. - Yeah, at least we got to see his social media posts before they were all scroulge. And I mean, this guy had been interviewed by the New York Times before on his efforts of trying to recruit soldiers from Afghanistan to go fight in Ukraine. So he's got his book, he's got a long record. I mean, he's got his arrest record. Clearly this guy was a little cuckoo for cocoa puffs, but it is fortunate that at least we do have something that we know about him, unlike Thomas Crooks, the first attempted assassin. So that's a good thing, but it's clear also that this wacko guy was very much bought into the narrative of Trump being an existential threat of democracy and pushed over the edge, perhaps, by that narrative. And as you've been laying out all of this from the media, from politicians and from the would-be assassin, I just keep getting those three letters in my head, TDS, Trump arrangement syndrome. And it seems like the entire Harris campaign sort of main rest of its strategy relies on painting Trump as an existential threat to democracy, as this boogeyman who is racist, who's going to take away women's rights, he's going to be a dictator on day one as she's tweeted multiple times. And that in and of itself, it's crazy for the media to sit there and say that Trump is causing violence by elevating the concerns of Springfield residents relative to illegal immigration. But Kamala calling Trump a dictator on day one and an existential threat to democracy, that does not incite violence. The logic only works one way. And this spread of TDS, Trump arrangement syndrome kicks in when you go outside the bounds of the norms of democracy, right, which are using free speech in good faith to debate one another, to have your policy positions known on either side and come to a consensus and use your votes in an integrous way. So to me, what looks like a threat to democracy is more importing 10 million illegal immigrants and allowing some of them potentially to register to vote or at least to change the makeup of congressional districts to sway them in your favor. It looks like burying media stories like the Hunter Biden laptop. And I think that's another point in all this. Elon Musk caught a lot of heat because he said that he noted that there has been no attempts on Harrison Walls and some of the media ran with that as like he's saying, well, why isn't there? There should be, but that's not really what he meant. He's saying that people, there's no boogie manning of Harrison Walls mainly, I think because people know she was a replacement candidate and she's an empty suit candidate. She's a public candidate and it's Trump versus the machine, the media, Democrat machine here. And so if Hombola were to go down God forbid, we know she'd just be replaced with someone else just like she was a replacement for the corpse that was Joe Biden. So anyway, I'll let's say, who's the real threat to democracy in all this and this atmosphere of Trump derangement syndrome where being gaslit to believe is the responsibility of Trump and his violent rhetoric and dangerous rhetoric when in reality, it is the continued going beyond the pale on the part of the Democrats and on the part of the media, violating norms of good faith public discourse, lying, I'm reminded of Sam Harris's famous example of Trump derangement syndrome where he said, Hunter Biden could have the bodies of children in his basement and it still wouldn't affect how I feel about the story of the laptop being suppressed. And that is Trump derangement syndrome. That's no longer a liberal at that point. You are an ideologue and you are a radical and you're changing the makeup, you're undermining democracy at that point. So there's my little speech on TV. - Yeah, no, fair. And the nail hit right on the head there and you have to like wonder how can you continue? You're being called out so hard on it right now, even the Trump campaign releasing, you know, an entire document of all the different quotes where you call them a threat to democracy and really brought about these violent acts that are being attempted against him. And I have to think they just have nothing else to say. They have nothing else to run on. Kamala Harris cannot run on a record. She has no record. In fact, her record is just laid in with all the different things she's messed up in the past three and a half years being part of the Biden administration. They can't run on a future because she doesn't have a particular policy prescriptions that are gonna do anything for the American people. And she's been sitting in this administration with a policy prescription that's led to all the different destructive things that we're currently experiencing right now as a nation. She can't contend with the actual issues because she's creating the issues and she has created the issues for the last three and a half years. So her only running point is to say that he's a threat to democracy. That, hey, you know, you can go with the other guy, but if you go with the other guy, he's gonna be a fascist dictator and he's going to ruin all of the world and, you know, the beacon on the hill that is the United States of America. So they can't abandon this point because it's the only thing driving forward her campaign and support of her campaign. The Democrats never even liked Kamala Harris. They did not want Kamala Harris had this gone to primary. She wouldn't have been picked as the candidate. So what else does she have but to attack Donald Trump? And when you say that she really is just like an empty suit, like somebody, it's something to be, to be filled, it was never made more clear than when we all watched the debate on ABC. As we watched a three V one debate as the moderators David Mira Lindsey Davis decided to also become candidates for the next president of the United States and attacked Donald Trump and to bait him live on air. Kamala Harris is an arm on a machine that is constantly working against Donald Trump and Donald Trump is like a person who is trying to fight the establishment. And you can watch as the establishment grows. You can watch as they attack him. You can watch as people outside of the establishment try to take care of Donald Trump or according to many theories inside of the establishment, try to take care of Donald Trump. And on the other end, they spin stories and try to weave it into something that it is clearly not. And what I say to people who are watching this is trust your eyes and trust your instincts because you will constantly have instinctual feelings towards what's actually happening and what you are actually seeing and how dangerous this could actually become. And the media will do everything to try to dissuade you from feeling those feelings and following those feelings. And that's what they're doing right now. This is crazy, a second attempt on his life. And you know what? Maybe not the last given everything that's going on right now and given how much insanity is currently all over the place. Those are our thoughts on that. We're gonna move on to another story. We don't trust mainstream media. Should we call it legacy media? I certainly don't trust outlets like CNN. And it seems neither does JD Vance. And he's actually gone on CNN to tackle these issues, head on to call them out on their rhetoric, call them out on the things that they're doing. And he's doing it live on air. And luckily we're getting clips of this and the CNN hosts are left floundering in the wake of this guy. You know, I wasn't sure about JD Vance when he was first chosen as VP, but he is consistently approving himself as we get more moments like this. And we're gonna show you some clips of him appearing on CNN to talk about some important issues, most importantly, Springfield, Ohio, where the accusation has been made that Haitian migrants are eating people's pets. They're cats, they're taking geese and ducks from the pond, beheading them and eating them. Not only that, they don't know how to drive cars. They're crashing cars everywhere. They're killing Ohio residents. They are taking up resources that should be given to American citizens and all this because the Kamala Harris and the Biden administration has granted hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants, TBS, temporary protective status. So let's watch him on CNN, talk about these issues. And we'll watch Dana Bash, CNN host, try to come after him and it doesn't exactly work. Let's roll the clip. - Dana, first of all, let me just respond to a couple of things that you said. But I wanna start with something you said, which I think is frankly disgusting and is more appropriate for democratic propagandists than it is for an American journalist. There is nothing that I have said that has led to threats against these hospitals, these hospitals, the bomb threats and so forth. It's disgusting. The violence is disgusting. We can dim it. We can dim all violence and threats. - Senator, this happened after you and President Trump were on the bomb. The debate stage said that cats and dogs were being, you asked a question, Dana, and I'm gonna go ahead and answer it. - After that, they were... - What we have said is that this town has suffered terribly under the policies of Kamala Harris. Now, you just accused me of inciting violence against the community when all that I've done is surface the complaints of my constituents, people who are suffering because of Kamala Harris's policies. Are we not allowed to talk about these problems because some psychopaths are threatening violence? We can condemn the violence on the one hand, but also talk about the terrible consequences of Kamala Harris's open border, on the other hand. Now, let me just fact check a couple of other things that you said, Dana, 'cause it's important. You said that all of these migrants are in the country legally. They're in the country through what's called temporary protective status. That is when Kamala Harris waved a magic amnesty wand, taking people and giving them legal status. That is not to say that they're here legally. That is a terrible indictment of her amnesty policies that have further opened the border. - But they're not, but it's not illegal, you might-- - Terrible migration in this country. - First of all, she's floundering. She doesn't know what the hell to do because she has no idea. What she anticipates is that she will do what she typically does when she asks people who disagree with her on air, that she will just steamroll them by speaking over them, by interjecting, by spinning her own narrative, and they will be forced into submission because there's a lot of things that happen in these news interviews. One, I'll tell you, some people don't feel quite comfortable on air. Luckily, JD Vance is extremely comfortable, probably given his history as a lawyer and going in a law school and being through that whole experience, having to go through and argue with people right in front of an entire audience all the time. There's also the element of being in a virtual sound studio where he's just sitting, probably with a backdrop behind him, 'cause I've done this many times before, they give him an earpiece, and you're supposed to listen in as hard as you can for what this person is saying. They can interject at any time because they really have control of the feed and what's going on, and he hasn't allowed any of that to stop him, and he says, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm actually here "for an interview, I'm not here to debate you, "I'm here to talk about the issues, "and you called me up here for my opinion, "that's my opinion, so I'm gonna give you my opinion." And he says a very important thing, that just because I choose to talk about an issue, and people go crazy on the other end of it and start calling in bomb threats and all these different things, I am not responsible because I spoke up about an issue, because I put on a pedestal the voices of American citizens who are complaining about what's happening in their town, that doesn't make it my fault. If I'm hanging out with my friends Michelle and Abby, and I go, "You know what, Abby, I don't really like Michelle," and then Abby gets up and punches Michelle in the face, I'm not responsible for what Abby just did because I brought up an issue and started talking about it. I didn't incite violence and tell her to go and commit an act of violence. The very same thing could be said about what's happening in Springfield, Ohio, and these crazy people who are throwing out threats or going after Haitian migrants or whatever. I'm sorry, that's a whole separate issue 'til whether or not people are getting their cats barbecued in the damn backyard by Haitian migrants. And a lot of people are focusing on the whole cat thing. It is a very salacious story. It's kind of crazy that people are saying, "Hey, my pet was eaten by my Haitian neighbor." That's a little crazy, right? What's crazier than that is 20,000 migrants being shipped, bust, flown in to a city with a population of about 58,000 American citizens. That's a little bit crazier than the cats that are getting barbecued. I think the Haitian migrants getting in cars without being able to drive, running into mailboxes, trash cans, other human beings, taking the life of an 11-year-old last year, I think that's even crazier, although it doesn't sound as crazy, I guess, as cats being barbecued. I think Haitian migrants being flown, shipped, bust in, and taking people's resources, their EBT, their food stamps, the government welfare programs, just completely burdening them with their presence. That's a pretty crazy story as well. So instead, they're coming after Republicans and saying, "How dare you bring up these baseless claims about cats being barbecued?" Okay, let's actually put those on the back burner and talk about A, B, C, D, E, and no, they don't want to talk about it. They just want to come after you and accuse you of lying and being a conspiracy theorist. But J.E. Vance is not allowing it. Let him keep speaking here. - I have heard firsthand from multiple constituents, people who've made 911 calls a month ago, a year ago who were making these complaints. I trust my constituents more than I do the American media that has shown no interest in what's happened in Springfield until we started sharing cat memes on the internet, which is disgraceful that the American media ignored this town. And that's the most important part. - You represent Ohio here in Washington and your state's governor is asking for federal help to deal with the influx of about 15,000 migrants over the past four years, which has strained the health system. He says schools cause safety issues. You've been talking about these problems. But what have you done to help Governor DeWine with his request for federal help? - Well, the most important thing that we can do to assist Governor DeWine in the whole state of Ohio and frankly, the whole country Margaret is to stop Kamala Harris's open border. And for two years, I've been fighting for policies that do exactly that. You have to ask yourself, why have these 20,000 Haitian migrants been dropped into a small Ohio town and just a few years Margaret? And the answer is because Kamala Harris implemented what's called temporary protective service for over 100,000 Haitian migrants. She basically with a magic wand granted amnesty to thousands of people who shouldn't have been in this country and now a small Ohio town is dealing with the consequences. And to anybody listing Margaret, this is what Kamala Harris wants to do to every town in this country. Overwhelm them with migration, stress their municipal budgets, see communicable diseases on the rise. What is happening in Springfield is coming to every town and city in this country. If Kamala Harris's open border policies are allowed to continue, we have got to stop this. American citizens are suffering because of what she's done. - It's cheaper to manufacture overseas or she's why so many companies do it, but that's another issue. Just to follow up on the promise you're making to working class voters. You were now saying no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on income from social security. All of that would wipe out a big chunk of the tax base. Do you really think that fiscally conservative Republicans in Congress are going to vote for this? - Well, I think obviously Republicans believe American workers should keep more of their own money. And yes, I think that if we actually balance this out by penalizing some of these companies for manufacturing overseas, I do think that we can get this to balance out in the right way, Margaret, where we're not blowing a hole in the deficit. We're giving workers more of their money, but to your point, we're actually making it easier to make things in the United States of America. Now, you're exactly right. Sometimes it is a little bit cheaper to manufacture overseas, but we have to ask why that is. It's because a lot of these foreign countries use literal slave labor and manufacturing. We should not be allowing slave laborers to benefit from American markets. If you want access to our market, you've got a pair of workers' fair wages. That is the Trump agenda. And it's something he already implemented once, by the way, Margaret, but is going to double down on it in second term. Whoa, this is what we needed at the presidential debate. This is what we needed at the presidential debate. And JD Vance is really setting himself up, I think for a lot of success, I cannot wait to see him go and debate walls head to head. And I hope that is just a highly publicized event that everybody and their mother and brother sits down to watch because he's going to flame him. If this is the energy that he brings, he's really holding these people accountable. And I think what was needed most when we watched Kamala and Donald Trump debate was not only to Trump to be a little bit more fiery, a little bit more on the ball and talking about these things in the very same way that JD Vance is in these clips, but also directly calling out media to their face as they are trying to gaslight you, as they are trying to propagandize, had Trump at one point in the debate last week said, "This feels rigged right now. I feel like you guys are actually debating me. I feel like this is a 3v1 debate." And of course, you get more of that in hindsight, but had we had that in the moment, had we had them called out and held to account in the moment, I think that could have been a really powerful statement to have made, and unfortunately, we didn't get that. And it does seem this though, we're on this, you know, Trump said something, JD Vance sort of cleans it up. Trump said something, JD Vance sort of cleans it up. During the debate, Trump said, "They're eating the dogs, you know, they're eating people's pets or whatever." Which, mind you, not the most eloquent way to have made that statement. We could have set it up a little bit better with her stance on immigration, with the number of immigrants she's bringing in. I did see that he tried, he felt a little flustered, he felt a little reactionary in talking about Springfield. Had we set up that story, I think more fluidly, I think it would have landed better with the nation. And instead, we get leftist joking and making, you know, songs and memes out of Donald Trump saying that they're eating the dogs and they're eating people's cats. And now JD Vance on the back end hits CNN and says, "You know what, here are the real facts. I'm listening to residents. I'm hearing people's valid complaints about what's happening in their city." And he cleans it up. Trump comes out and says, "I hate Taylor Swift," which we're gonna be talking about that in tomorrow's episode, "Wait For It." And JD Vance comes up and gives very valid criticism of Taylor Swift and gives a very reasonable statement as to why somebody maybe shouldn't listen to her endorsement. And here he's about to do it again on the subject matter of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. Let's see the clip. - Dana, would you like to ask me questions and then let me answer them or would you like to debate me on these topics? I noticed that when you had Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz, you gave them multiple choice answers to the questions that you asked and you allowed them to answer the questions. I'm happy to be here to talk about policy, but if you're gonna interrupt me every single time that I open to my mouth, then why am I even doing this? So please ask a question and I'd ask you to be polite enough to let me answer it. - Yes, I am and I think that... - I am and I think... (laughing) Yeah, you know what? We forget oftentimes. The media presents itself as such an authority, such a force in the world that you forget your own equal, if not higher footing than where they're at. And I think a lot of people, as I said before, get a little bit flustered when they're on the news. They know a lot of people are watching. They don't wanna create a crazy moment. And JD Vance is going, wait a minute. You're interrupting me. You're asking me questions, then you're interrupting me. You're not allowing me to get a word in edgewise. You don't actually wanna hear my answer. And you could be super polite and just continue giving your answer and allowing them to interrupt and try to get these good moments in about your policy and what you're trying to do and criticizing Kamala when they give you the moment to. Or you can say, hold on a minute. Am I on a new show to be interviewed? Or did you wanna debate me and attack me? And you should not feel afraid when somebody is attacking you or try to spin your word or spin your campaign or whatever it is, even in your daily life, when you're dealing with moments like this, to go hold up, wait a minute. I know you think you have some authority over me right now, but you're playing games and I'm not gonna allow these games to move forward. So either we're gonna be polite and civil and you're gonna ask me questions and allow me to answer. We're not gonna continue anymore because my time is just as valuable as yours and you are wasting it. More important than that, American people's time is more valuable than whatever time you're spending in the news media trying to propagandize and sell us more lives. So are we gonna have a normal interview or should I go home? Should I go home? Or should I go to the office and do some more? Or should I go to Springfield and talk to these residents about their damn cats being thrown on barbecues? Because maybe we could have conversations about that. And I like the very measured way in which he's talking about Springfield, if like, yo, regardless of how you feel about this situation. I got town hall videos and, you know, city hall meetings where residents are hopping on the mic and talking about geese being yanked from the pond and having their heads taken off by Haitian migrants. I have videos of people saying that there's Haitian migrants that are squatting in their yard becoming aggressive when they are confronted and creating unsafe environments for senior citizens. They're hitting people with their cars. They are, you know, taking up all the lines and these government welfare offices. At the very least, you know, all of the citizens in Springfield, Ohio could be lying. They could have all got together in a little meeting before the town hall and said, you know what? We're gonna go lie on these Haitian migrants and we're gonna make up stories. And one creative Springfield, Ohio resident, raised his hand and said, you know what? Let's say that they're eating geese. You know what? My cat went missing the other day 'cause I let 'em out. But let's say that the Haitian migrants killed my cat and that creative guy really set off on an entire lie that now the Haitian, that the Haitians are doing this and the Springfield, Ohio residents are running with it. Should we at the very least, maybe show up to a town hall meeting or two or a city hall meeting or two and ask people about their firsthand accounts of what's happening, should we maybe investigate it or should we do what Kamala Harris did and the debate last week and laugh in the face of those people who are complaining and say that they're extreme or at least insinuate that they're extreme. I think she said talk about extreme as she was cackling at their experience. Maybe at the very least, we should investigate these very crazy stories that are coming out of a small town that recently got 20,000 new residents from a different country, a country with a history of eating animals unlike that of the animals we eat here in the United States, a country with a history of quite a bit of turmoil, okay, whether or not you believe the US created that turmoil or not, quite a bit of unrest, different cultural values, traditions and customs at the very least, maybe we should figure out if the 20,000 people that we gave temporary protective status that we sent to that city, maybe we should figure out if they're not exactly chummin' it up and kicking it up with the residents. Be still furrow right now, guys. So shout out to JD fans, I didn't know how much I liked you in the beginning, but you're growin' on me. Big boy, you're growin' on me, the more news interviews you do and the more you call these people out and don't forget y'all that you can do it too, okay? They think they exercise some authority over you and they can just talk over you and interrupt and spin a narrative, right? As you're sitting there on the other side of the screen, but they can only do that if you allow them to. And unfortunately during the debate last week, Trump kind of allowed them to, which is tough. You have three people against you, the entire country's watching you, the nation's tuned in, it's an entire network that is actively working against you. We also have the whistleblower out of ABC that is saying that Kamala Harris was given the questions beforehand and she was told that she was not going to be fact checked and Trump was. So all cards stacked against you in that case. There's not much you can do except advocate for yourself and unfortunately we didn't get that at 100% from him that night, but at least we're getting it on the back end of things, guys. We're gonna get into your super chats. It's here from you guys. - That's here from you guys and yeah, those are some great insider tips from Amala if you ever find yourself being interviewed with a hostile interviewer on Meet the Press. You know what to do. But seriously, with the environment that we live in in this modern day, United States of America and the modern West, the deck is sort of stacked against you no matter where you are. They're just out of this feeling of the dominant narrative is everywhere. That's upheld by the media and your search results on Google and chatter on social media and celebrities and everything to where you can feel like you'll sound like crazy person if you give a different point of view. But I think what you said is great that the upper hand really is with you. If the truth is with you and if reality is on your side and we've seen that time and time again using one of your phrases from the BLM days to the gender debate and now with this political campaign and the policies and just the political reality we're living in, the truth is very much on your side and that shows up when you engage in discourse. So I think that's a great reminder. And you guys will run into people who try to use these tricks on you in real time, in real life. Friends who disagree with you, family members who disagree with you, professors who disagree with you in your college courses or whatever don't allow this like false sense of authority that they feel they have to like take over and call them out if they need to be called out and call them out on their tricks as they're playing the tricks. That's the most powerful thing that you can do because they know they're doing it. So to be called out as they're doing it is a stunning thing to have to deal with which is why you got, I, come on now, come on Dana. We know what you're doing baby girl, we caught you. (laughs) - All right, yo Joe's our first super chatter today. Says happy Monday, Amal and Taylor. I've been waiting for a live. Today I mailed my boyfriend a letter and drawings. He's at boot camp for Navy. Missy. - Aw, that is so sweet. Love that for you and love that for him. I'm sure that'll be much appreciated. - That sounds like a beginning of a wholesome rom-com. So hopefully you have a happy ending as well. - Happy ending. I hear a lot of stories out of dating in the military that I'm not even gonna get into, but hopefully it's a happy ending. I'm happy for you. - Latin Riz says, "Hey there, hey and Tay, long time no see." So Amal, I once asked you if you believe that God was watching over Trump and you said, "No, have you changed your mind now?" Four major cases, sick media bias, two attempts on his life, et cetera. No, I have not changed my mind on that whatsoever. This is stuff we see over and over. In fact, the pointing to a pattern that we can actually track and look at time and time again to go back to my own phrase points more toward my, I think, theory than it does towards your theory. But you know what, we're all allowed to believe what we believe on that one. I don't want any of my stronger opinions on that theory. - All right, Kwaz Akula says, "Hey guys, Amal, this is why, "is this why you don't want to be president? "Don't worry, you do have an Amalisha, "which is more useful than the Secret Service, "LOL, hashtag this quasi." - I wouldn't survive being president for so many reasons. Oh my gosh, I can't imagine. I just think there's so many things we have to see and be involved in to even be considered in anywhere near that position that I just couldn't, I'd be dead day one, y'all. I'd be dead day one. - It does make you think Trump's got to be authentic at, if you can say nothing else, because he gets so much of the hate and the machine kicked up against him that he must be not fitting in to the way things are supposed to be. So he's definitely pissed at anybody. But even him, you've heard on some of these podcasts appearances you've been on. He's been like, yeah, well, I went in with this attitude, but then I learned that this is kind of how things work and you have to kind of pick your battles or to the line in certain ways, and it's crazy how much bureaucracy there is and how powerful it is. - Oh yeah, you can watch it. You can watch like a young budding politician who has like all this fire and passion and I'm going to do blah blah. And then yeah, they're dead inside by the day two. They finally realized like, oh, this is not at all what I thought this was. - Yeah. - O.M. and I, or Omni says, this is truly upsetting. And they decide to use this opportunity to try to demonize him. Another failed attempt, I guess, their times charm, huh? - Let's hope not. Yeah, let's hope that doesn't happen, but I'm my goodness. I mean, like what is next? How many days do we have to the election? He just needs to make it that. Well, he needs to make it to an inauguration, I guess. My goodness. But they're having talks about like upping his Secret Service protection. Biden has alluded to something needing to be done. Whether or not it's actually going to happen. I don't know. Secret Service actually did a pretty good job it seems in this instance, whereas in the first one, they were not doing really good at scoping the area out and making sure everything was secure beforehand. Obviously could have been better in this case as well. You could have scoped out the entire golf course before he even set foot on it. But they're saying, oh, since he's a former president, we don't have the same Secret Service security detail as we do for an active president, which I don't know whether or not that's actually true. I do remember years ago hearing stories about how extensive Barack Obama's security detail was and that his daughters and Michelle still had Secret Service who would scope things out before they went to places and all these different things. So I don't know how extensive that is once you go from president to former president, but I have a feeling it's just an excuse for using for the moment. Yeah, I mean, all that is fine and good, but after the first very close call of unsuccessful assassination attempt when he was literally struck by a bullet, maybe you could up the security tube, at least the level of a sitting president, just maybe. I mean, especially given the fact that he's not merely a former president. He is the nominee for the current election. And now this is two assassination attempts, like the idea that we would not ramp up his security, call in the national guard, do what you gotta do. But like the idea that we wouldn't do that is just insane. But I think like you started the show with, it's kind of this product of this sort of historical news cycle fatigue that we're living through to where things that are just utterly insane don't feel that way. We talked to, we were talking before the show, it's like kind of like COVID was like that where after a while it was just like, my rights have been violated in six ways from Sunday and you can't even like muster the outrage anymore because you're just so fatigued by just the absolute insanity that we live in. And yet that doesn't make it any less wrong or any less crazy, so. - Yeah, and it's part of what they do too of like, they know how to make, yes, they demoralize you in regards to news where it's like, okay, I don't even, okay, it's another bit of news or whatever, but they also have this power of making stories bigger than they are and utilizing that whenever they feel the need to. They can just weave whatever web they want for the broad swath of human emotion and all these different things they want you to think and feel and they have a lot more, they can do a lot more than we talk about, I think. - 100%, okay, Christopher Alseen says, I can't watch the live stream in real time, but your bro had to support Long Live Trump, you need to leave this man alone, WTF bro, come on. - I agree with you, he does need to be left alone a bit. I mean, wouldn't you be tired? Like he's not a young spring chicken anymore, this has got to be so tiring, but still he's like coming at it and he's got a very similar fire to what he had in his first term, so astounding. - He said he wanted to finish the whole, like he was like, I was even par through five holes and he had a birdie putt, so he was trying to get out of par and someone tried to kill me in the middle of my golf round, but he was mad that he couldn't finish. - That's what I really read in the afternoon. - Yeah, yeah. - I think he's doing all right. - He has that energy about him, I guess. - Yeah, Lena J just sends a couple of emojis, thank you, thank you. - Thank you. - Celtic Blacksmith says, "We cover why Trump "is selfishly making people shoot at him "and why he is evil for surviving every time." Ward 7, back to you, Janice. - That's exactly what they're doing. How can we make this his fault? I mean, we've seen some things in our day, covering these stories, but just how can we make the assassination attempt his fault is a whole 'nother level of crazy, a whole 'nother level. - Why you'll tell Timothy W. says, "Hey, Amala, I hope your grandmother's doing better. "I hope you were able to take a bit of a break "and do some fun Florida things while you were gone. "Heart emoji." - I didn't do any fun Florida things. I was just at my grandmother's house and watching my mom's dogs. My mom has three dogs. I've been watching my dogs. Watching those dogs, we went for like, we're on three dogs a day, so that was fun. I was getting my activity in, but my grandma did get released from the hospital, which is like the best news yet. She was there for an entire month of many, many ups and downs. Now she's back home with my grandfather, which is just like the most amazing news you could possibly have, which I'm happy to be back now that she's home and you know, doing her thing. - Celtic again says, "Shooter is not a pro people. "Professional shoot from inside cover. "They don't stick their barrels out "and they don't snipe with bubbled Norinco SKS's." - Yeah, I don't know any of the last thing that you said, but yeah, it does seem a little weird that like they, Secret Service spotted him 'cause they could literally see the barrel of the gun just like hanging out of the bushes and they were like, right, he's right there before, you know, anything could happen. You would think you would try to conceal that as much as possible, which is really interesting. - And I think that the bubbled SKS is like a modified, a term for our, you know, poorly modified guns, but I believe it was an AK-47 style rifle that was used, but maybe the SKS is another term for that, I can't remember, but we know Celtic knows his stuff. - Yes, we do. - Timothy again says, "The speed this second one moved through the news "is uncanny, these people are really just like, "oh yeah, another Wednesday in the US." - Yeah, it does feel like it's going to be that way. I mean, like if a third happened, like what would you even, like a six hour news cycle on that one, I can't even imagine, like, I don't know, man, I don't know, there's a lot going on. - Yeah, when the threshold is barbecuing cats, I mean, just another assassination attempt, like show me something new. - Yeah, for real, for real. - sarcasm, of course. Celtic again says, "By the way, Amal, I'm glad to see y'all, "but I was really digging your grandma's fireplace set, "those fireplace accessories were blacksmith corn." - Oh, I love that, yeah. I was screenshotting all your comments of you guys who were like, "I love your grandma's decor, "her house looks so warm and cozy." And I was sending them to her while she was in the hospital 'cause she was like, "Oh, that's so sweet, "you guys are so nice." Yeah, she has a beautiful, a beautifully set up home. She's got a good eye for those sorts of things. So I'm glad you guys liked it. - It was a good vibe. And the videos that we put out while you were there were like bangers, all of them. There's just, you know, two and one, so. - Thanks, guys. - How much is the set to blame? - It's all the set, it's all my grandma. - Yeah. - It is. - The vibes are immaculate as they say. (laughing) - Yojo again says, "Drawing Amala fan art right now, "happy to be here for real." - Oh, tag me in and on Instagram. I would love to see it. Thank you so much for that. I love seeing yours as art. - RJ7 Adventure Ready says, "I always stop a conversation "when someone begins cutting me off. "I address the behavior." And if it continues, that's a wrap. They're crazy at that point. - Yeah, you just got to do it like a toddler. Like, "Ah, ah, ah, we don't interrupt people "how we're speaking." (laughing) And go from there. People have a tendency to do that. - In kindergarten teacher voice. - Yeah, yeah, sometimes you got to. - Poppy Cakes just sends a super chat, but no message. Thank you. Poppy Cakes. - Appreciate ya. - It's fun to say. Whamama Terra says, "As a Pacific Northwestern Earth, "it is rough out here as a conservative LOL." - Mm, so you're not in a good spot for your political values. I'm in LA, that helps. (laughing) - Solidarity. - Rough spot, yeah, I feel free on that one, but we're hanging out. Hopefully, figuring it out. - Mike Bickle says, "Today is my wife and I's "five-year wedding anniversary, and our Victoria "is going to be a year old on October 4th." She's nearly walking on her own. - Oh my gosh, congratulations. Do I have a button for that? There we go. Happy wedding anniversary. I hope you guys are having a fantastic day and you have a little fun day or something set up with your family, that'll be fun. - Yeah, congrats, Mike. Thanks for sharing that. We celebrate you guys. Chicken pork adobo says, "Trump is blessed "by the cats he saved from pet eating Haitians. "It is possible that JD is behind all this "so he can be president, or is it possible "that JD is behind all this, "so he can be president." Just like Kamala, my book. - Oh my gosh, so much experience for your thinking. I know, I did see somebody stay like, Trump saved the cats, and now he has nine lives. (laughing) - Oh yeah, I made a deal with them, I saw that. - Yeah, I made a deal with the cats. - Oh my gosh. - He's got nine lives. There's lots of jokes to be made, and that's one thing. Despite everything that's going on, I don't know if it's a good sign or a bad sign that we're getting consistent, good jokes, heavy hitters out of the news we're getting. Maybe that's contributing to my desensitization with the news, but also comic review, it doesn't much appreciate it. - That's the point you have to. - Yeah. - I mean, just how utterly insane it is that there are even rumors of Haitians eating and barbecuing cats in a town that's like, this is the world that we live in in 2024. - Yeah, crazy time. - Yeah, crazy time. - And that's like a national conversation. She's like, "Mm-hmm, lol." - Yeah. - Timothy again says, "Did y'all hear that Kennedy's Secret Service Protection was removed after he endorsed Trump? Don't these people know that Kennedy's are bullet magnets, LMAO?" - Yeah, I did see that too, which is very interesting. You'd think it would just leave it on, at least for a little bit of a buffer for him to get back to a normal life, a consistent lifestyle that's safe before all that. - Well, first they fought him from being able to get on the ballot and being able to get Secret Service Protection. Then they took a Secret Service Protection and now they're fighting to keep him on the ballot and suing him for taking his name off the ballot because whatever politically advantageous is, you know, what need, everything's justified to do that, it's crazy. - Crazy. - Andres says, "Hi, Amala and gorgeous sailor. The South Paula Forum has already decided for months now that combo will be president and that Trump will be erased. No wonder if he needs to deal with one deletion attempt per month until the election, if he survives that far, God bless Trump." - Yeah, I guess we'll see. I don't know who's gonna win at this point. I had Trump suspicious it would be Trump right at the outside of all this, but not, I don't know what's gonna happen anymore. There's just no accounting. There's so much stuff going on there, I have no clue. - Yeah, it feels like a coin flip, fortunately, especially after that debate, but we'll see. We got a ways to go. - Kwasakoulas says, "The Japanese based warrior, Amala epinobe, if you let Amala be, she be cooking more in five minutes than any leftist their entire life." - Thanks. - Sashed our base quest. - Appreciate it. It's because I was leftist, you know? It's adding that to the recipe, it's like a cook. (laughing) - Cinderman says, "They make money on confusion. That's what it is on the other side by virtual paradox on an emoji of a dove." - Whoa, that's some deep stuff. They make money on our confusion. How do you think about that? It's confusion in part of the recipe here. I mean, yeah, I guess to a certain extent, but I'm gonna think on that more. - Is it marketing or there's a quote out there that's like, you know, you sow so many lies into the discourse that people don't know what to believe anymore, can no longer distinguish the lies from the truth, and that's sort of a, you know, rules for radicals, revolutionary tactic that is used to destabilize a society. So I would believe that. - Yeah, that's for sure. And yeah, and that is confusion. So yeah, 100%. - Guru Blix, the live says Blixky. Hi, all I've been watching you for years. Just wanted to say, keep up the good work. Your videos are fire emoji. I wish you the best of luck on your solo adventure. - P.S. put a K in front of your name. Law emoji. - Please don't, please don't put a K in front of my name. It's funny 'cause I have a silent K in my last name. And now we have, we have common layers hanging out with us. - So you could borrow it from the last name? It's not common. - Yeah, we could do it. That'd be hilarious if that was actually my name. Thank you for the love though, I appreciate that. - Yeah, that was nice. Okay, we got a few more coming in here. - Sure. Let's see. Syllable Holic. Holic says, I just came across your channel a week or two ago. Love your content and vibe. Glad to see smart people talk about this stuff based on facts. It would be dope to see you and Candice Owens do a collab, much love. - I've actually been on Candice's show if you have, I don't know if they even have access to that anymore if it even exists, probably doesn't exist. - It's an old daily wire show. - Given the whole daily wire drama thing that happened, maybe they don't have her content on there anymore, but we've done a few episodes. I think two or three Candice episodes where I was on the panel for that. So we have had some crossover there. - Yeah. - Fun fact, during the taping of the first one, they mispronounced, she mispronounced Omele's name and I had to, Omele would never say anything, but I had to know to the producer and be like, can you get her to record that? Maybe. And she was great about it. - That was true. She was. That was very nice. Good job, Taylor. Taylor catches the tape we don't play about in this pronounce or my name. - I just know you're not gonna do it for anybody. And if it's like a national media appearance or whatever, like, okay, we need to correct the record here. - Fair enough, fair enough. - Monique Abram just sends a super chat, no message. Thank you, Monique. There's a three with a balloon by it next to it. So I guess that's her third ever super chat. So thank you for the big O3. - Thank you. Appreciate that. That's awesome. - Desire's visual says Trump can now play in many men by 50 cents. - Many men wish death upon me. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's now many. It was many, but it's now really many. - It was at least one. Now it's definitely multiple. - It's definitely many. - Oh, that's hilarious. Somebody put out an edit of him walking out at his, what do you call this rally with that song, but it was an edit, right? It didn't actually use the song. - I don't think he did, actually. Yeah, I do remember that. - He said he's kind of, he likes Trump, right? - He's down, yeah. - He wants to make America great again. - I'm surprised he didn't show up at the RNC or whatever. - Yeah, that would be interesting. - That would have been pretty bad as, maybe slightly better than Kid Rock. I know you're such a big fan. - Yeah, just a slight edge on Kid Rock. (laughing) - We have a little John at Kamala's. - Yeah, wow. - Crazy. - Oh my God. - Meghan, Meghan is Italian, anyways. Super Pooper says, "I am a Filipino that moved to the U.S." Those Haitians need to realize that immigration is a privilege given by the Americans and not a right. - Yeah, we need to figure this whole thing out, 'cause we need to be close, curtains. We need to cut the show on that. I'm not letting people in this country, 'cause it's gonna be less, not only do we need to cut the show and letting people into this country, unless they've been properly vetted, but we also need to send some people back, send some criminals back, send anybody who's maybe eating people's pets back, or driving cars into trash cans, maybe y'all need to go back, do a little bit more practice, a little bit more assimilating, pass a few tests, then maybe you can come back. And even still, I'm all for people who want to experience the opportunities of America and contribute to our society entering, but even that has to have a limit to it. We can't just let anybody and their mother who wants to come to America come to America. I'm sorry, but that's how it goes. - And that's how it always has been, but we just flipped that recently. And to be fair, I mean, for the record, there's plenty of Haitian immigrants who have come in the right way. And are very productive, upstanding members of society. And this is not an as Persian on them, or all Haitians or whatever, but at the same time, there's some crazy stuff going on. And it absolutely has to do with the fact that you dropped 20,000 unassimilated immigrants into a tiny town in Ohio. So two things can be true, let's. Jody says here at the buzzer, or Jody Samurai, do you have any single friends? What's the status of this situation? - I do have single friends. I have many single friends running around. I don't know if I can, we're gonna do a dating show on this channel at some point, guys. There's been many a hiccup on the route to making that happen. But if you wanna meet one of my single friends, you guys can click on my channel, type in like dating show or like best friend dating show or something. I have a friend that I'm pimping out on the show. I'm doing a dating show with this girl. She's beautiful. She is, you know, early 30s, 31, I believe. My best friend, Risa. And she's pretty cool. So you guys can date her, probably. - There's an application link to the contest for a date with her or whatever. So you can do that. I think it's on that video. So if you go find that video, there's a link there. - So yeah. - We're still accepting boyfriend applications. Monique Abram here says, this is an example of who God is protecting and who the devil is protecting. - For some it is. - I don't know how to respond to your religious comments, given I am not at all. - Yeah. - Depends on what you mean by gone. - No, not my set of beliefs. But for those of you that it is, that's cool too. I appreciate you guys dropping your thoughts down below. Is that our final super chat? - It sure was. - Sure was guys. Thank you so much for watching. On another historic stream, second assassination attempt for Donald Trump, leave your thoughts in the comments down below. As always, if you disagree with anything I said in this video, do get out in the comments down below, but do so respectfully. We like to encourage healthy debate on this channel, but it has to be healthy with the capital. H guys, if you liked this video, like, subscribe, click the notification bell to be notified. Every single time we're live, that's Monday, Wednesday, Friday, typically, when things aren't going on at one PM Pacific, three PM Central, four PM Eastern, and what'd y'all say, eight PM Universal? I don't know what's going on with that whole time zone, but I think that's the right number for that. We did get one more super chat from Bria Honeycutt, or Bria Honeycutt, which however you pronounce that. We needed to file charges against Harris campaign for creating violence she did during the BLM riots. Now, this same charges as Trump. Oh, okay, so you're saying that we need to come after them for inciting violence, much like they came after Trump. You know, it feels like, you know, if you're gonna do it to us, we should do it to you. It's kind of tough to figure out. I gotta figure out, I have to think about how I feel about that, but you know, it is, it does kind of feel like if you're gonna do it to us, maybe we need to start using the same tools against you, but then you get into law fair territory and weaponizing of the justice system, and yada, yada, yada, we don't have time for that today. Lockhart Lucius, or Lucius, also said to super chats right there at the buzzer. Thank you so much, appreciate that from you guys. Guys, again, leave your thoughts in the comments down below. Tomorrow, we're gonna be talking about Donald Trump posting that he hates Taylor Swift, and why I think that's a mistake, and I will give you all my reasons in tomorrow's video. Another one from Back Thunder 48 says, "Am I the only one who thinks that Harris "wouldn't make a good military leader "because her big failure in Afghanistan?" She literally gave the Taliban a bunch of Western weapons on a silver platter. Yeah, I mean, she wouldn't be a good military leader for like, man, you know, I just look at her and listen to her. I'm so sorry. There's nothing that instills fear from that woman whatsoever. There's nothing that makes me think she's powerful, intimidating in any way, shape, or form, and that's what you need to be the leader of the free world. Now, am I saying that it's because she's a woman? No, I think there's a lot of very powerful, intimidating women out there, just not her. And of course, we can lean on what happened with Afghanistan. Many will blame Biden for that, and say it's not technically her fault, but she was right there, right there beside him. That was her man, and she was gonna stick beside him, okay? When all of that was happening. So she is just as much responsible, in my opinion, for what went down very valid points. No, she should not be the leader of any military ever, guys. Another one for Marcyon, who says, I hope that boyfriend application stays open for a while. I'm 380 pounds, but, and I need a year to get down to 210. Wish me luck, you know what? Hey, if that's what motivates you to do it, absolutely do it. I'm happy to hear that that's your goal, and you wanna be healthy moving forward, and drop off some poundage. We'll, I can't say that we'll keep the application open for you. Who knows, but, I wish you the best of luck, and congratulations on embarking on a journey towards a healthier body, okay guys? - No, yeah. - That's our last super chat. Thank you so much for watching. See you guys tomorrow. Peace be with you. [BLANK_AUDIO]
