Episode 050: Secret DIS-Service - Here's the Secret

In this wide-ranging episode of The Jeremiah Gunn Show on Common Sense Network (CSN), Jeremiah Gunn takes a hard look at one unsettling question: Is America’s security apparatus failing—or something worse?

Starting with concerns over recent presidential security incidents, Jeremiah examines what he calls the “Secret Disservice”—a blunt critique of the United States Secret Service and its long history of failures, from Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump.

Drawing on commentary from Douglas Murray and historical examples spanning more than 160 years, Jeremiah explores patterns of incompetence, ideological extremism, and cultural nihilism that he believes are fueling political violence in America.

This episode covers:

•  Why repeated security failures raise serious questions about presidential protection 
•  The long history of assassination attempts against U.S. presidents—from Lincoln and Andrew Jackson to Reagan and Trump 
•  How media rhetoric and political demonization may contribute to real-world violence 
•  The psychology of political assassins: narcissism, nihilism, and the desire for notoriety 
•  The consequences of leadership loss—and why “who takes over” matters 
•  Why America struggles to deter political violence and hold perpetrators accountable 
•  The role of media, ideology, and institutional complacency in today’s climate 

Part history lesson, part political commentary, and part warning, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about security, responsibility, and what happens when institutions charged with protection fail at the highest levels.

Listen in for a provocative discussion on political violence, accountability, and the fragile line between incompetence and intent.

All right. Thank you very much for joining us. This is CSN. You're listening to CSN. This is Common Sense Network, part of the ISI broadcasting system. This is the Jeremay Gun Show. Thank you for listening. You're at the gun show. Thank you. Thank you. Can't thank you enough. Thank you for listening. We're broadcasting from behind enemy lines to the true patriots and the resistance. We're behind Democrat enemy lines in the civil war that never ended. And we got a lot to get to, so we've got to get going. So what is this about? This is uh about the secret disservice. It's a secret. But uh what is the secret? Well, not them. I met one. He was showing a house near me. Uh we were in the market for looking for a house, and the guy was showing his house. It was an open house, and he told us that uh I think it was for sale by owner, but he said, I'm a secret service agent. And he was nothing to write home about. I mean, he wasn't uh a Delta Force, he he wasn't uh uh even Pete Heggseth, you know, just uh kind of a soft guy, uh an accountant or a librarian or something like that. And he told me it wasn't that hard to get the job. Well, the secret is that uh here's the secret. If you're ready, they're no good at what they do. They stink. They always have. They're lousy at it. And it's either intentional or not. There's this thing called Gray's Law. It's a corollary of uh Hanlon's razor. And it basically says that any significantly advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. So does it really matter whether they're no good at what they do or whether they are just uh uh evil and and trying to do a bad job? Don't matter. Don't matter. So so so that's the problem. Okay. So this morning I was watching a podcast with Douglas Murray, who I think is great. And uh the other guy was uh Aaron McLean. He's uh he has a show called War College or something like that. He has a podcast. They're talking about specifically the shooting. They were both at the correspondence dinner at DC, same Hilton that uh Reagan was shot at about 50 years ago. And uh same place. Okay. So you wonder, well, what has fifty years done to our security, especially when it's been fifteen months uh since Butler or whatever it's been? You know, how how are they doing? How are they doing? Oh oh not so good. Not so good. So so they talk about so when you when you talk about these guys, Douglas Murray, you talk about you know, the he's written some great books. I don't know what Aaron has written, uh, but uh Douglas Murray has written some fantastic books. He's a tremendous social commentator thinker, probably Oxford educated, whatever. But um, these guys are great and they're honorable men. Uh but you don't have to you don't have to be as well read as them. You don't. You really don't. You don't you don't have to, you know, it he references things, these obscure European or Russian writers who write about Russia or whatever, and like, you know, people have coalesced all of these brilliant ideas, so you don't have to get it right from Victor Davis Hansen, you don't have to get it from Douglas Murray, whatever. You can you can get it from me. But do ask yourself, do please ask yourself, what does that person that I'm listening to, what do they really know about it? And you can take anybody in this in the spectrum from uh Meghan Kelly, who's a lawyer, or uh Sean Hannity, or or uh I I I won't mention the other side, but like, you know, Rogan. Uh what do they really know what they're talking about? Tucker Carlson. Really? What does he really know about what he thinks he knows? Anyway, you don't have to, but but you can listen to what they're saying, and and it if you put in a little bit of work, you can find out whether it's correct or not. So, but but Douglas Murray was talking about whether there's an absence of meaning. People don't have meaning in their lives. So these people that are uh nihilists, uh the the the big problem here is it all kind of starts with N. If they're not Nazis, they're nihilists, nepotism, uh, nepobabies, and and narcissists. It's narcissism, it's nihilism, which means they they don't really believe in uh anything. Uh and they they believe everything is meaningless except them, except their existence. They're gonna be the hero of the euro and they're gonna take somebody out. They're negativity. And then these Nancy ninnies that are running around saying, well, we can't give them the death penalty, and we can't arrest them, and we can't this, and we can't that. And so that's what happens. So Douglas Murray is saying, well, you know, he said there were people screaming at us on the way in. They both went to the correspondence center on the way in. This people are screaming at us, you're baby killers. Trump deserves to die. And they got signs to that same effect, printed by, you know, George Soros Foundation. And they're yelling, screaming, he's Hitler. Well, of course, if he's Hitler, he pr probably somebody who kills him is a hero. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was involved in the plot to kill Hitler. He was a Lutheran pastor. So do you think if you call somebody Hitler enough times, somebody will say, Well, I'll do it. I'll do it. It's just always a philosophical statement. You know, would you kill Hitler as a baby if you know you know all that? So so the same people are screaming. These narcissists, these useful idiots that are uh have no value to society except to detract, or screaming that you're babykillers, like they like they yelled at, like Jane Fonda yelled at the Vietnam veterans. I mean, the the people coming back from Vietnam, the coming back from Vietnam, not veterans. You're babykillers, you're Nazis, you're Hitler, you're fascists. Um they were screaming the same thing on the way out as the room was cleared out. As the room was cleared out, and he says, well, you know, the First Amendment, you know, free speech. No, that's not for No, that's not. That's not the First Amendment. That's not. That's not what it is. He even you can't yell, this is the biggest problem, is people don't know their jobs. SCOTIS doesn't know their job, journalists don't know their job. This is not that hard to figure out. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You can't slander somebody and say, well, that's free speech, like Kimmy Kimmel tried to do. That's not. It's not free speech. This was at the White House Correspondence Dinner, and and uh, you know, same guys on the way in, on the way out, yelling, screaming. Well, the host of the show was you know, JD Vance was there. The whole cabinet was there, it seems like. I don't even think, you know, the the vice president isn't supposed to travel with the president because what happens? They both get killed. Host of the podcast was a former Marine, and he's he's a consultant or war college expert or something, and he's he's expert on security, and he's talking about the security was not good. Not good. They both talked about how after all the shooting and all the chaos, it took forever to get Trump out of there. And and even Hegzeth to get him out of there. This was fifty years after Reagan was shot at that same hotel. Same hotel. Okay, so you know how is it that oh the security wasn't very good? He didn't he doesn't have to go to these things. The White House Correspondence Dinner. They're enemies anyway. They're they're just propaganda for the left. 90% of them. Anyway, let's talk uh just a quick walkthrough of um assassination history of the United States. I think it's I think it's interesting. Um uh Aaron Burr was probably the first assassin. He had been VP under Jefferson. He kills Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Now, Alexander Hamilton was a quintessential founding father. We wouldn't be here without him. He was phenomenal. He couldn't be president because he was born, I think, in Bermuda, one of those islands, you know, near there. Anyway, Aaron Burr, this waste of space, this total self-enamored narcissist, he wound up becoming a traitor. But he takes out this guy on his way out. Uh he was going to get together a bunch of people and he had a little army like Charles Manson. He was going to get together an army and he was going to take over because he deserved to be king. He was going to make himself emperor. He was serving as VP to uh Jefferson, but he thought he should have won that election. So Jefferson had to put a warrant for him and he had to run around. He met in Ohio with a bunch of people. He's going to take over Mexico and the Southwest and call it uh Burr Burrington or Burr Burk Burr America or some crap. Okay. So but this is what happens. Nothing happens to him. Around, you know, a little bit later, you know, Andrew Jackson. He was 67 years old. He gets shot by a narcissistic loser. He was a British-born house painter who fired a couple shots at him almost point blank. And I think the gun malfunctioned, like it did with Squeaky Fromm, and she shot at uh Gerald Ford in 1975. And another couple hundred years later. But his 67-year-old Andrew Jackson was pretty bad R. He beat the guy up with his cane, you know? So then uh they didn't even have so they didn't even have uh Social Security or Secret Service. So so Lincoln, let's talk about Lincoln for a second. You know, he had to be snuck into the White House for his inauguration. He came on a train, but it had to be secret because there were so many plots against him from the day he won or before he won. There were so many plots from the Democrats. The hotbed, uh Baltimore was a hotbed, it was a snake pit. But they had to go into Baltimore to get him to the White House. Very close. So he's uh they they decided that's the first instance I think Pinkerton came up with this plan. They said he was going to be traveling as an invalid. He had a floppy hat and a shawl, and a good 6'4 he's supposed to hunch over, and he had this woman agent with him, as that's supposed to be his sister or his nurse or something. And uh the idea was they would sneak him in. So they stop in the middle of the night, and uh wee hours of the morning they disconnect the locomotive and they hook it up to horses so they can drag it into town. Uh and uh yeah under disguise. You know, the uh the indignity of this because of the Democrats. They had to be snuck in because there were so many death threats against him. You know, he hadn't even been smart. He should have had a big parade coming into town, like he did when he was coffin was going back. They should have had some honor and some dignity. Nope. Democrats wanted him, you know, they made him be smuggled in. The only thing they heard in the dark, they turned out all the lights and brought it, dragged it with a horse so it wouldn't make any noise. They heard a drunk sitting on the loading, you know, one of the docks of the railway station singing Dixie. And they couldn't keep Lincoln from cracking jokes in the dark because they told him to be quiet, but that's just kind of the guy he was. So there's a plot. So someone even while he was president took a shot at him. He was riding a horse or something, and I don't remember whether they knocked his hat off or, but you know, this was always a threat, always a concern. And while it was always a concern, he had he had he had to have like a volunteer bodyguard. There was this great friend of his. He was a lawyer from Virginia who knew him in Illinois. His name was Ward Hill Lehman, Lamont or Lehman. He was about six foot four, uh big, he looked like a football player. You see, you can pull up pictures of him. But he used to sleep outside uh Lincoln's door. He had knives, uh, pistols, brass knuckles. People kind of joked about him and said, you know, uh that he was he was made uh into a marshal so he could have an official title. And uh the Marshal Service uh honored him not long ago in Washington, D.C. You can see that online. Anyway, though, you know, there there were there were things to be done there. So uh when he when the the night that the things to be done in Richmond, Virginia, so he was he was with him all the time, but the war had recently ended, very recently ended, and and uh Lincoln was gonna go to Ford's Theater. And uh he was he was gonna go to Ford's Theater, and this guy was gonna be with him. But he sent Lincoln sent him to do some Marshall type work in Richmond, Virginia, because there were still things to be mopped up. So um uh he always felt guilty his whole life that he didn't protect Lincoln because that was his whole passion. He was a he was a great friend and a and a great bodyguard. But uh so Lincoln, you know, who who did he have? What kind of a security detail did he have to go to the uh in Washington, D.C., right near Baltimore while the the murderers were plotting not far away. Uh what kind of security do you have? N not much. But uh so he one of the things was he invited uh Grant. He invited Grant to go along with him. And they and this is what's weird. Well, Grant was just the commander of the armies. Uh Lincoln was the commander-in-chief. Uh he had he he would add better security if Grant went with him. So did Grant go with him? No. Because uh Julia Grant, who was the wife of uh Grant, good people, very good people. Well, uh Mary Todd Lincoln, his his wife, Lincoln's wife was a was a witch with a capital B. She had spent all the previous years just tongue-lashing both Lincoln and Julia Grant, who was a good woman. But she tongue-lashed her and cut her down and cut down Grant and all this stuff. So when he said, hey, uh go ask Grant if uh he'll go. So Grant says, Julia, you want to go to Ford's Theater with Lincoln? Pretty high on her. She says, I wouldn't go anywhere with that woman. So if you think about it, you could say that Mary killed Lincoln with her tongue. With her tongue. You know, the good book talks about the tongue is just a tiny thing, but it's like a rudder on a ship. It can a little tiny rudder can control a great big ship. A little tiny flame can start a huge fire, a Holocaust. So, you know, that that's kind of a problem. So so who did go with him? Who did go with him was this guy named Major Rathbone and his fiancee Clara or something. They were kind of socialites and friends with the Lincoln. And and so he had a major sitting in there with him. And, you know, that guy spent his whole life guilty over why didn't he protect Lincoln a little better. Well, John Wilkes Booth, when he got through, when he came in, he t had a knife and he slashed at uh at this guy and cut him up pretty good. And the guy just beat himself up the rest of the time. But but wasn't there a guard at the door? Yeah, there was. There was a guy named John Frederick Parker. He wasn't a very good military man. He had problems in his record for being a drunk and stuff. So he he walks away from his post. I don't know if he would have done anything anyway. He walks away from his post and um he goes to the balcony to watch the play and then uh uh goes to a tavern to have a you know, tip back a few. That's what he did instead of protecting Abraham Freak and Lincoln. So did he get busted? Did he get any well he got in a little bit of trouble, but they they kind of dropped the charges. He he he had a reputation for being an undisciplined soldier and a drunk and everything else, but they they chose him, that's the one we'll put there. That's the Secret Service at work. That was the security detail. How long ago was that? Uh 1865? I can't do that math that fast, but it's 2026, isn't it? 160 something? 160 years? Is that any better? Did did that guy get uh executed or anything? You know what the Romans used to do if you fell asleep on guard duty? You were executed. So they would put more than one guard, so you could if you were if you liked the guy, you could help keep him awake. Say, hey dude, we can't go to sleep. This guy wanted to drink more than he wanted to do his job. And the people above him didn't think anymore. What so Grant didn't go. Did Grant say, hey everybody, put some soldiers around that booth, around that box? No. People didn't think this kind of thing happened here. But a Democrat actor, popular, popular actor like Johnny Depp, who said he wanted to kill the president, as did Madonna, as did uh Maxine Waters, uh uh. Uh that that woman comedian, I can't remember her name, but anyway, she a horrible looking redhead. She she held up a picture. Snoop Dogg did a a video of him assassinating Trump. It's just all over the place. So anyway, uh why is it important? Why is it so important that guys like Lincoln and Trump and JFK not get shot? Because who took over? Who takes over? Who takes over for for uh J.D. Vance? Is J.D. Vance uh Trump? No. Was George H. W. Bush Reagan, if Reagan had been killed? No. Was LBJ JFK? No. Is Pete it is Pete Hegseth Stanton? Stanton was the Secretary of War under Lincoln. He rounded up all the conspirators and he hanged them fast as he could, very fast, including, I think, the first woman executed in the country. Her name was Mary Surratt. She was just she ran that little tavern where they met to plot the kidnapping and then assassination. So how did she get hanged? Well, he was he was an equal opportunity uh DEI enforcer. He believed in justice. She was just an accomplice. She drove the getaway car. All she did is set up the meetings and knew they were doing it. There was a gang. Which makes you wonder. This is what these guys talked about on the podcast. What what if it wasn't some lone whack job, if it was at this Hilton? What if it was Cole Allen or whatever? Some you know, some uh half-breed whack job. What what what fatherless figure? Single mother raised? What what what if what if it was a bunch of people from ISIS, from uh IRGC, from Somali gangs? They're right here. They're not across the pond anymore. They're right here. All these terrorists that Democrats fight. What what if they had what if it had been a coordinated effort as these guys are sitting around? You know, look at look at a picture of Reagan's assassination. And it's called an assassination whether you die or not. Look at a picture of it. The guys are standing around and one guy, you know, ten feet away, he whips out an Uzi from his three-piece suit. They all have three-piece suits. But Hinckley got, you know. Well, let me keep going here. You know, the the original plan was to kidnap Lincoln. And it kind of makes you wonder, would he have gone along peacefully or would he have been like Andrew Jackson? I mean, he was a he was a tough dude. I don't know if he would have. The original plan was they were gonna kidnap him and say, Oh, stop the war and uh stop the war and and and we'll give you Lincoln back. But uh what happened was uh this popular actor, Democrat, racist, but I repeat myself, he he goes to the inaugural, he's standing right there, and he hears Lincoln's speech about charity toward all, malice toward none, and and and he talks and he mentions he dares to mention the blacks. And uh this guy says, that means and John Wilkes Boost says, that means N-word citizenship. But now by God I'll run him through. So he converted from kidnapping to murder to assassination. And people heard him. He was standing. You can look at a picture of the inaugural, the second inaugural, and he's standing there. They got him circled. So he was very well known. Just like the haters today. Um they're just on uh PMS, DNC, and CNN and and uh ABC, Kimmy Kimmel, Colbert, Baer, all all these these wicked haters of America. Not not of Trump. That that that doesn't fly. You can have TDS, you don't have to hate America and the Constitution. Anyway, it makes me wonder if Lincoln had had been, you know, kidnapped by these guys, and it was a gang. They they they went after the rest of the cabinet too. What what if what would Lincoln have done? You know, when they laid him out on the bed at the Peterson home across the street from Ford's Theater, they said, you know, he was laying there dying, you know. And uh they they they got a look at him because they had to take his coat off or whatever. He was he was in good shape. He was a rail splitter, he was a woodsman. He even took off his coat one time when he was visiting the front and he he had a challenge to uh one of the soldiers to a wood chopping contest, you know. And uh he did a good job. They they you know, they could tell how muscular he was. He was only 56. Andrew Jackson was 67. I I think Lincoln would have fought. I don't think he would have said, oh, okay, tell me tell me where I go, tell me what I do. I'm more important than the country, you know. I I don't I don't think he would have. But anyway, that's that's kind of neither here nor there. So who took over? You know when you shoot somebody like that? Who took over? Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson. That's the problem. The Democrats made him take Andrew Johnson as his running mate. They were called the War Democrats, the ones that, you know, this wasn't about North and South. They were in the North. They made him have Democrat generals, they made him have Democrats, otherwise he wouldn't get support and he couldn't get it done. So, you know, these narcissist losers taking people out like this, what happen what do you get? What do you get when a popular actor gets rid of the Donald Trump of the time? The the Lincoln of the Lincoln, the you get Andrew Jackson Johnson. He destroyed everything. Everything, all the dream. He crushed the dream that Lincoln was building. Ultimately, Martin Luther. Luther King's dream. He crushed it. He crushed it. You know, Grant had gotten rid of the KKK, Lincoln had gotten rid of slavery with his life, fortune, and sacred honor, both of them. And what happens? Democrat comes in, undoes it all, and keeps slavery, de facto slavery for a hundred years. So then there's a series of Republican generals starting with Grant, and then, you know, Grant was great. Grant was a really, really good man. And then Rutherford B. Hayes, another Republican general. And then his VP, James Abram Garfield. He was the guy it was brilliant. There's a documentary right now, I think on Netflix, about him. Death by Electricity or I don't know, lightning or something like that. I'm reading the book right now about that. It was just fascinating. He was a great man. You look up and he was good. He was good. He not only was very good president, you know, he cared about blacks, slaves, he he did things. He was a great, great president. When you look him up on AI, good old AI, they'll say he wasn't a very good president because he was only in office for like six months and then he got shot. Yeah, he got shot by a whack job. Charles Gateau. He was a narcissist, a nihilist narcissist, and he thought he should be president. Oh, he was crazy, you know? But but the GOP, we we had nothing but Republicans. And that's why that's symbolized by an elephant. It was called the Grand Old Party. And it was so big that uh they used an elephant instead of a uh a donkey, which was a jackass, which was named after Andrew Jackass, and they called him Andrew Jackass, stubborn mule, you know. Anyway, uh Grover Cleveland was the only true, you know, or the only Democrat elected during that whole period from Lincoln on. And it was because he was a he was really a Republican. He was a great president, read a few books about him. Really very, very good guy, and he skipped two terms like Trump did. He was good. He was like Reagan. He was a businessman, he was into business like Trump. And he was uh he cared about people and and then came along McKinley, another great general Republican, shot by a narcissistic uh loser. Uh and um Teddy Roosevelt, another Republican, son of a guy who worked for Lincoln, his father worked for Lincoln, did great things. Uh he, you know, he he got shot. Teddy Roosevelt got shot during a speech. And he and he begged for restraint on the part of the restrainers, which is I think is BS or CS. I think all these guys should be killed. I think that guy last night, the other night, should have been killed. Because nothing's ever going to happen to him. Oswald's the only one that ever anything ever happened to. This guy shooter is named John Trank, and he he he shot, I think he shot a 38. And but what happens is he had a steel eyeglass case and he had a 50-page speech that was folded over. And it and the bullet that slowed the bullet down. So, but he still got hurt. He was bleeding and everything. But he finished the speech. But I guess he was wearing the first bulletproof vest in history, I guess. But does anybody even know who his VP was? He no, no. Most people don't know who Teddy Roosevelt was. But anyway, he's a staunch Republican, but but he was no Teddy Roosevelt. So when these guys just take people out, it's not good. We ought to have more protection. Uh Harry Truman, Midwestern conservative veteran of two wars, one as commander-in-chief, one as a captain of the artillery, World War I and II, and then the Korean War. You know, he said at one point when MacArthur wanted to go after China as he should have in that war, he said, Yeah, you know what, three wars is enough for one person. One person, that's enough. Anyway, um he was a the there were some Puerto Rican separatists or something that were tried to take him out. Um, you know, that that's a great plan. Kill the president so that you can get your free statehood. Yeah, that'll work. Brilliant. They wound up killing a cop, and I think they killed one of the guys in the shootout. The other guy got 29 years. That's the same, that's the same thing that this guy who killed who shot at Teddy Roosevelt. He got 29 years for being because the verdict is they're insane. As if that matters. And he died in prison. He died in a mental hospital. Well, why don't we still have that? Why don't we still have mental hospitals? You know? I mean, Truman uh was there any security for Truman? Um we we went to his house. If you ever get a chance to go there, it's in uh independence, Missouri. And you can go to his house and walk through it. It's really cool, very humble, very humble guy. But he didn't even have any security after he'd already been shot as president. So after he was president, he didn't have Secret Service with him at all the time all the time. Um people would come up to his house and rip off pieces of the siding as a souvenir. So they put up a fence with a gate, you think? And then the Secret Service moved in at a house across the street. And he and he had a little bell installed, a little buzzer where he could call for them. What? That was that's that was the plan. Secret Service, top notch, all times. Henceforth forever. Okay. So um, you know, e even even this uh uh assassination attempt y uh at Trump, you know, they they come I guess the idea with Truman is they come running if you push the button. Is that is that the right plan? Often they're too too far away. Too far away. They had to run, they had to run down the aisles at this event, the uh at the correspondence center.

What?

SPEAKER_00 28:02

You know, if they had been like if JFK, if they had been on the running boards. When I was a kid, they were always like on the running boards of the car. Between the shooter and the president. And they they usually wore sunglasses, stuff, but if they were or they're running beside it when it slows down. But what what's the point of them being too far away to do anything? Too far away is no good. When when Hinckley got it, Reagan, it was uh he shot a he shot six shots and took out people like James Brady and a cop and a Secret Service guy. The Secret Service, I mean the the the cop what what what stopped what stopped Hinckley was a a guy from Cleveland, a union guy, hit him over the head or something. You know? And you know, Reagan before he before he got shot, he was making a s uh I I saw, I don't know if it was before or after he got shot, but he was making a speech and some nut job. He looked like he may be a stage hand or a grip or something, electrician. I don't know, he comes up and he breaks something over Reagan's back, like a fluorescent light bulb or a fixture. And then the security comes running. But but before that, he grabbed the microphone and started talking, whatever he wanted to get his message out. These people need to have a voice, right? At least the media thinks so. And and Reagan looks like, what was that? And this then security comes running. Just like they did when Hinckley shot him. They come running. They're too far away to do any good. And and Reagan didn't have a bulletproof vest because they said, Well, you know, there's a little corridor that's easy to protect, and he won't want to have the vest on. It's only going to be a few minutes. Well, it only took a few minutes, did it? I mean, what was Hinckley? Nothing. And by the way, they let him out. They let him out. He was unrepentant, just like Squeaky From. Unrepentant. They let him out. They let her out in 09, 2009. They let the other one that shot Ford shot at Ford uh 2007. I don't remember when Hinckley was let out, but why was he let out? You know, the there's what this is the law. There's attempted murder. Well, it was attempted murder. He if he had succeeded him killing him, it would be murder, but it was just attempted murder. So somebody tries to run your family over deliberately, and that your family lives, then it's just attempted murder. Are you kidding? This was the same Hilton that Trump was at that 50 years before. Trump Hinckley used a th uh 22, and you know, my wife said a 22. Yeah, but it had explosive bullets because he wanted to have maximum kill. It could have killed Reagan. It came close. It came close. But you know, Reagan, when he was at Ford's Theater, he looked up at Lincoln's private box up there. It's still decorated with banners, if you banting, bunting, whatever it's called, if you ever go see there. It's interesting. Um he said, you know, I wonder if I could get shot at even this much, this much later. Eighty, whatever it was, a hundred and whatever years later. I wonder if I could get shot too. 120 years later? Uh with the security that we have. Well, yeah. Yeah, you could. Trump's been shot at how many times? I I'm starting to lose track. I'm starting to lose track. One of our greatest presidents was almost taken out by a narcissistic nut job, nothing. Just a nothing. You wouldn't care ever if that guy lived or died or that he even lived. Now compare that to to to Reagan or Trump. How many times has he been Reagan? How many times has Trump been shot at? Look at Butler. Oh my God, how fake was that? How fake was that? You know, and they tried to make it seem like it was a DEI issue. They always, you know, the CIA or the deep state, they always have some sort of a cover. It was just a scam. They tried to there's a meme that says, make no mistake, they didn't fail to protect him, they failed to kill him. You can break that thing down any way you want. This narcissistic loser getting in there on George Soros' payroll, climbing up a ladder, flying a drone around to get an angle using a rangefinder like a golfer would use or a shooter. And then the cop sees him, hey, there's somebody up there. People said they saw him up there, told the police. And then, you know, Trump says, Well, I don't know what it is that Trump has to say, well, they did a good job. They did a good job, they did not do a good job. They didn't do a good job at killing him, because that looks like what they were trying to do. And uh he kills a fireman behind the guy. That was an easy shot. And Trump says, Well, you know, he only that sniper was great. He was a White House sniper. You know, maybe we heard he was a county of Pennsylvania Butler, whatever the county that's called. We heard it was uh one of those snipers. But that's not how snipers work. And Trump says, Yeah, Trump has this whole story, you know, it costs it, it it only took him four seconds to hear. Well, that's not how snipers work. Usually they're in they're in twos, but if they're alone, they have to have a target already. They don't hear tat tat and then turn, line up the shot and kill the guy. The guy was still shooting when he was shot. There's even stories that a guy had the head shot and said, Hey, this doesn't look good. Give me permission to shoot, which is BS. If you got the job, you got permission to shoot. Come on. But, you know, that that's going to serve. I I think they got to Trump. I I really do. I, you know, they they the Congress has a hearing, and this woman who's in charge says, well, the roof was sloped. That was our problem. And then what happened with these, there was a more DEI stuff because what happened? Trump, just like at the Correspondence Center, these Douglas Murray and this other guy said he was there for like forever, still exposed after all the shooting. Nobody jumps in front of him, nobody What are we doing? What happened in Butler? These little tiny ladies who came up to Trump's belly button crouched underneath him. That's that's it, and he's still in the line of fire. And they don't know how many shooters there are. What what? What kind of a scam is this? That's not how snipers work. You can't go here tat and turn and and then look what the Secret Service did. And then they try to cover it up with a story, make it look like it was a DEI thing. There's always some scam to get out of it. I think the CIA told Trump to say these stories or something. And I think they said, you know what, if you don't be good, next time it'll be Don Jr. or your or we'll get your wife or Baron or her father, just like we got Charlie Kirk, you know, huh? You you I wonder if if any threats out are out there, and all of a sudden, you know, you hear tat tat, and you're supposed to have a and you're per you're supposed to have an imperfect field of view and line up the shot and all that stuff. You don't already get there early and look and see and sweep the roofs and and and and we we had the president come to our company, our campus, because we were a mover and shaker. And uh boy, they check all the roofs, they check everything. They put snipers on the roof, you know? This is this is just a lie. It's just a lie. Anyway. Uh they they said that everybody was at the table forever. Pete Heggsith took forever to get him out. And and however they handle it, they're gonna could be criticized. But but yeah, they're not handling it well. I'm not that impressed with Cash Patel. I'm really not. I mean, I he was there with his wife, and you know, everybody's got a tuxedo, but do they have a plan? You know, and then Caitlin Collins at Beauty, you know, an androgynous fool. She's she's she goes to this dinner right after he's shot at, and she's she's asking about Comey, because Comey spelled out with stones, like a little girl doing a Facebook TikTok, he spells out 8647. And and and he's been arrested for that. Yeah. He should have been busted for the first treason that he did. And and she says, and were you really threatened? Were you really threatened by that? What kind of a question? Why does he have to why does he have to have her there? Why does he have to get questions like that? I wish Caitlin would get the Dan Rather treatment. You know what happened to him? Somebody thought he was a drug pusher or something, and they beat the hell out of him. They just beat the hell out of him. They kept asking him, what's the frequency? And he didn't know, so they kept beating the hell out of it. I wish that would happen to her on her way out to her car. And then Trump could ask her, Did you feel threatened? What do you think 86 means, Einstein? What why would she even ask a question? She she didn't do the research and doesn't know what 86 means? Trump says it's a mafia term, it's a mob turn to take him out. We're gonna 86 that guy. This is what the head and and and she doesn't mention that Comey was the head of the FBI. The treason, treasonous traitor who who tried to get Hillary in as head of the FBI. And then he does this. I mean, of course they're gonna double down if nothing ever happens to anybody. Again, Oswald's the only one. Comedian Kimmy Kimmel slanders everybody when when Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk wasn't even cold. His family's still crying, his little babies and his wife, his new bride. And Kimmy Kimmel's going, yeah, it was a mega, shooter was a mega. These are sick people. But you know, he's supposed to be a comedian. And he falls under that protection. Hey, if comedians aren't safe under the Freeman, well, you know what, First Amendment, you're not. John Lovitz, who was a real comedian, came from SNL and he he had retired and he was doing shows or stand-up. But he started talking about Obama. He said, I voted for him twice, but the guy's an A.H. He's a rectum. Because he wants half of my money. He wants half of my, you know, he's a he's a effing A.H. He says that on video. Well, the Secret Service went to his house and said, You threatened the president. Really? And and this is how we handle this. You know, there was a serial killer named Ted Bundy, and Larry King, this is this is your government education media attainment complex. Larry King wanted to interview him, and he was butthurt because he couldn't interview him. But because Ted Bundy requested Dr. James Dobson, who was the head of an evangelical Christian group, but he had a degree in psychology from USC. He's a doctor. And uh and and and Ted Bundy wanted him to interview him so he could talk about his addiction to pornography and how that led him into being a serial killer. Okay. So so Larry King was criticizing. He goes, Well, I wouldn't have had a I wouldn't have hired a pastor to interview him. And they said, well, what would you have asked? I would have asked him why he did it. I want to know why he did it. You know what? You know what, you genius? What what what what was your degree in, you rummy, when Ted when Ted Turner called you and got you from the radio to TV? What are you talking about? That guy is dumb. He was dumb as a box of rocks, like Whoopi Goldberg, like Joy Blowhard, like Colbell, like all these people. You know? But but if they make heroes out of these people, what who's the guy that shot I don't know, Manjani or something like that? Luigi Manjoni or something? He's he's a he's a matinee idol, he's a heartthrob. People are celebrating him, just like they did when Charlie Kirk was shot. Well, if the media is going to do that, they should have some complicity. They should be considered enablers to these sick people. Every sick person has enablers, usually. You know. And and Douglas Marie made this great point that the these people, these these Antifa wannabes, performance artists, useless people that want to make themselves seem important. They said they want to die on the barricades. They don't care who put up the barricade, they don't care what it's for. They want to die on the barricade. And the media makes heroes out of these people. So again, what if this hit squad hadn't been some supposedly lone wolf who's mentally ill? What if it had been uh a a hit squad? You know? And if they know that I won't even get killed, I'll just get arrested and maybe get off. You know, they're talking about the guy who shot Charlie Kirk getting off. About the trial being a mistrial and crap like that. You know, if you don't execute them fast, then it's not a deterrent. It's not a deterrent to to to to release them. Certainly not a re How many of these guys are repeat offenders that do these heinous crimes? So, you know, uh and I almost want to talk about what's their motivation. Like Larry King want to know what what who cares what their motivation is? Who cares? They they said about Squeaky From and the other woman that shot at Ford that they were w even when you look it up in AI Wikipedia, they say it was the radical movements, fringe radical movements of the time, which was environmentalism feminism. You know? Still with us? Uh on October 7th, the idiots, the useful idiots at Columbia, they just switched from from environmental and from climate change to uh to Gaza to free the Palestinians. It was an easy switch. Greta Toonberg, whatever. Um you call somebody a hero, you kind of get people coming out of the woodwork to say, well, yeah, sign me up. Yeah? And this whole thing about active shooter. I I guess was the guy that the other night an active shooter? Yeah, I I was I was in a a high-tech company and you know, big, big, big company, and they we had to have these environmental health and safety uh in Nancy pants would come around and talk about we're gonna do an active shooter drill. And I said, you know, I got so I went back to my desk and I looked up, what's an active shooter? And I swear to you, I think they've changed it, but it said three or more people shot. So I I started imagining you called a police and you say, we have a shooter. Is it an active shooter? What's your address, by the way? It's showing up on their screen, but is it an active shooter? I don't know what's an active shooter three. Well, no, he's only shot one person so far, but he came through the lobby with a with a gun, several guns. Well, call us when he shoots the third person and we'll get our active shooter squad. You know, at Columbine, the SWAT team was still putting their outfits on while the kids were being murdered and slaughtered. And these devils, these devils, you know, they had their manifesto. I guess this guy, Cole Allen, had a manifesto. Who cares? I don't care. And unibomber, I don't care about your manifesto. Mein Kampf, I don't care. If we're not gonna use it to find out that you're a little bit nuts, you know, his parents, the parents at Columbine, Cleebold and Harris, they were such filthy devils. You know, I I think one of the kids was saying, God help me, and he said, God's not going to help you. Just going room to room. And the SWAT team's putting on their outfits out there. Get in there. You know, there was a shooting in the school in Florida where the cops said, Well, I don't think I want to go in. It's not safe. Safe. Isn't that your job? Isn't that your job? You know, it was a bystander who took out who took down uh uh Hinckley. It was a bystander who took down uh squeaky Fromm. A bystander. What's wrong with these people? You know, the the shooter in one of the shoot school shooters in Florida, his father called the police and said, My son's a a sicko. He's talking about doing this. And they said, Well, uh, thank you, sir. Call us back if he actually does something. I mean, uh with all the lawyers crawling around this country, that isn't wrongful death on the part of those poor parents and students. So, uh active shooter. He's an active shooter. Anyway, these two guys had a manifesto, but their parents, Cleveland and Harris and Columbine, they wouldn't go in uh I wouldn't look at my son's laptop. That's his privacy. Really? Well, isn't it my privacy too? If my kid's gonna get shot up by this sick bastard? That's not my that's not my right to know what's in there. That that should be a liability on their part. You know, this this anarchy, the narcissism. It's not democracy, is it? Is anarchy democracy? Is is anarchy democracy? It's like my comp Mine Kampf, you know? Thanks a lot, neighbor. You didn't do anything. Look at look at Fort Hood. Because of Islamophobia, we don't do anything about it. Because of the fear of Islamophobia. We have to have a mental case who was a psychiatrist or psychologist at Fort Hood, getting paid. He got paid while he was on trial after he killed everybody. A lot of money because he was a major colonel or something, major, I think. Hassan at Fort Hood, which was a gun-free zone. But he was signaling all this stuff. He was doing PowerPoints, and people said, he was talking about Allah's gonna bring vengeance on everybody. And then he goes into this gun-free zone, which is a military base, figure that one out, and he shoots everybody, and they got to call the police because they're a gun-free zone, a military base, an army base. He was in the army. Because of Islamophobia, we can't say anything. You know, my brother was in the Navy and he went in the bank in the Philippines. He told me there's a guy sitting in the corner, probably shorts, I think he had shorts, flip-flop, and a wife beater tank top. And he's holding an M16. That's the security of the bank. I'll bet they don't get robbed too much. I bet they don't get robbed too much. But when the governor of California sent the Rodney King riots, he sent the National Guard, California National Guard. They told the media that, don't worry, they don't have any bullets. And the media goes, uh, the National Guard's being deployed California, but they don't have any bullets. So don't worry. Scumbags. How do you think those soldiers felt? I think the media should have been sentenced to go with them. What are you doing? Do you know what you're doing at all? Yeah? So our military base, a gun free zone, but because of the fear of Islamophobia, we can't mention it. This guy might be a threat. Uh there was a case in in San Bernardino, California with these this couple, Muslims. They they took their little toddler daughter, I think she was two, and gave them to the parents and said, We won't be back. We're gonna go shoot up the place where I work. It was a food county food inspection office. We're gonna shoot everybody there, so take care of our daughter as we go to Allah. Uh aula in the case means Satan. Uh so you know what, you know what CARE? There's this group called CARE, the Committee or Committee on American or Council on American Islamic Relations. They came right out, they ran to the podium. They they weren't Muslims. They weren't Muslims. Yes, they were. He came out uh 21 minutes later. But they ran up there. They weren't Muslims, they weren't Muslims. Watch the defamation. Watch the defamation. Uh the the the 9-11 hijackers weren't Muslim. Nobody was a Muslim, right? We we can't we can't talk about this. So let's let's move up quickly to the you know, 60s. We had JFK, 1963, 68, we had uh Martin Luther King. Uh we had RFK RFK Sr., Robert F. Kennedy, who's in the Trump cabinet after being a lifelong Democrat. He his father was killed. And uh you know, you know who who tackled his killer who was Palestinian? Sirhan Sirhan, I think he's still in jail. He was a he was Palestinian. And it was he was tackled by a bystander, a volunteer supporter of RFK Juni of RFK, a guy named Roosevelt Greer. He was uh a football player for the L.A. Rams. He was part of the fearsome force him. Rosie Greer, they called him. He tackled him. How'd you like that? Little skinny, jockey fool. But maybe he was a Patsy just like Oswald was a Patsy or whatever. It doesn't really matter, does it? They're still dead. These people that try to figure out the conspiracy. Oh, it was the uh Rothschilds and the uh Illuminati working with Skull and Bones at Yale and and it goes all the way back to, you know, Solomon's temple.
