Okay, everybody, Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet. Donald Trump was millimeters away from being killed. This was two millimeters away from an assassination of a former president and soon to be next president of the United States. Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Okay, everybody, I did not anticipate, but oh my goodness, we have never lived through a moment like this. The last attempted presidential assassination was Ronald Reagan. And here we are. Let's go through the facts. President Donald Trump had a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. It seemed as if it was going to be just another rally as if we've always seen tens of thousands of people. Donald Trump was going through charts and graphs and saying this chart right here, and he had his

ear just a certain way and then you could hear the gunshots one two three four based on all public reports donald trump was grazed by a bullet as a bullet hit him hit his ear and scathed his the side of his face he was defiant we're getting all these tapes here ryan is loading up by the way the team has just run in here this is something that we have been fearing

We have been fearing that this was coming. When they said they wanted Donald Trump dead, this is exactly what they meant. Look at that right there. That is Donald Trump being grazed by a bullet. They tried to kill him, Donald Trump. And for some people on the left right now, they are going to be sad that it wasn't successful.

They have been calling this for this for quite some time. This is a live and developing situation. We're going to get Blake in the chair here. This happened in Butler, Pennsylvania. Donald Trump is alive. Blake, what is going on here? We've never lived through anything like this. We have been saying this. I said very clearly they're going to try to kill Trump. It was inches away from going into his brain and killing the former president.

CNN is covering this like, oh, it's an incident. This was an attempted assassination. They tried to lock him up. They tried to bankrupt his business empire. This is all they had left. And it was millimeters away from killing him. Blake, what are you reading and seeing? Literally millimeters. So there's this thing they would talk about, Charlie, called stochastic terrorism. They would say this against Trump. They would say he's egging on random acts of violence. And then what did we hear for the past decade?

Really, nine, ten years at this point, we've been hearing Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. Donald Trump is Hitler. Donald Trump is a would-be dictator. Donald Trump is the worst human being to ever live and will destroy everything if he's allowed to become president. They know it's a lie because he's been president before and that didn't happen. But they kept telling the lie over and over and over and over again and...

When you do that, you are egging on mentally unstable and extreme and wild people to do things like this. They, to quote Marco Rubio, they knew what they were doing. Let's see for ourselves. This is cut three. They tried to silence him. They tried to jail him. And now they've tried to kill him. Play cut three. And then the worst president in the history of our country took over. And look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million people.

And you know, that's a little bit old, that chart. That chart's a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened. Blake, I mean, that is right there. He goes immediately. I feel like I'm watching a Zapruder film. It is. Where this is, this was the, this would have been JFK. This, everybody, you got it. You're going to remember right where you were, what you were doing, where Donald Trump was millimeters away from being killed.

Blake, it's hard to even put this into words.

What is going on here, Blake? It's just it's it's one of those surreal moments where time slows down. I was out at an event here in Phoenix and I first get it where someone just says shots. I see it on my phone. Shots fired at Trump rally. And I open up. This had to be seconds after it happened. And then someone saying, I think he was hit. And I mean, I think I probably texted you within the minute. And then I'm sure everyone else did a minute after that. Everything slows down. It crystallizes in your mind.

It's one of the most unbelievable things we've ever seen. And then the imagery of it, the first image of Trump being hit, but then the immediate image after that of him actually standing back up and putting a fist to the crowd and the presence to do that under a situation of such enormous stress where you literally nearly died. He got shot by a bullet. He was hit. He was hit. And he did that within a minute. It's I've never seen anything like it and nothing like it in the world.

By the way, we now need to have every, I mean, first of all, keep the president in your prayers. The president immediately defiantly goes out and shows that he is okay and that he is fine. Reports are showing that there are multiple people

Multiple shooters. And remember, we were publishing articles one after the other. And many of you guys remember this in the audience where we were saying that they are going to try and kill Trump. They are going to try to kill Trump. They are going to try to kill Trump. They are going to try to kill Trump. And we were mocked and we were laughed at. Remember Tucker Carlson's article where Tucker Carlson came out and said NBC News said Tucker Carlson Stokes conspiracy claims U.S. is speeding towards assassination of Trump. We saw this clearly, Blake.

Clearly that they were that this is all that they had left, that this was all that they had left. This was absolutely a gunshot. We by the way, we have firsthand accounts. I have a firsthand. Sean Parnell says that there were at least multiple shooters. By the way, he would know he's a former military guy and Democrat donors. As soon as yesterday, we're making jokes about assassinating Donald Trump.

about killing Donald Trump and praise God almighty. Can we all just say a prayer to the Lord almighty that that bullet was not two millimeters closer? And I'm gonna say this right here. And I know that I might get in trouble for this, but the Secret Service heads need to metaphorically roll for this. The Secret Service, they have a major budget. How they allowed this to happen is a embarrassment to the US Secret Service.

And they need to be hauled in front of Congress immediately for allowing a former president opposition leader to have a bullet grazed against him. Blake, what are you seeing? What are you what are you what are you reading here? Well, I just first want to repeat what you said. Donors just yesterday. So this is literally this is puck news. They're reporting yesterday. Reid Hoffman, one of the biggest Democrat donors, the one who has stood by Biden the hardest in all this recent drama. Founder of LinkedIn. He's in the old PayPal mafia. This is a big.

ultra rich Democrat donor. And this is in Puck News. Literally yesterday, he gets in a fight with Peter Thiel at an event. And Thiel says, thank you for turning Trump into a martyr with all of your lawsuits against Trump, all your lawfare against Trump. Thiel says, I'm so grateful to you. And Hoffman, this is I'm going to quote it directly from the stage. Hoffman shot back with his own sarcastic quip. Yeah, I wish I had made him an

actual martyr. And on that uncomfortable note, the exchange ended. There will be people on TV. There will be Democrats who come out publicly and say that they're shocked and horrified and appalled by all of this and that none of this has any place in our politics. But deep down, there are thousands of them who wanted this to happen, who secretly desired this to happen. Some of them will be dumb enough to publicly celebrate it in the hours to come, I'm sure. But

They some of them wanted this to happen and a lot more of them stoked and encouraged this to happen with their deranged rhetoric about what Donald Trump meant for American politics. Let's go to the list. Snoop Snoop Dogg had a video. Get that one, guys. Snoop Dogg showing that he was killing Donald Trump. Kathy Griffin had a full decapitated head of Donald Trump. They they they went through the assassination of Trump almost every single night in Washington.

Central Park, remember that? The Julius Caesar play. They've called him that Trump is new Caesar. Many Democrats have dreamed about that going after Donald Trump. And by the way, let's get this picture up here. I want you all to stare at this. This is Donald Trump after he was shot in the ear. Donald Trump was shot in the ear with a bullet grazing him. And look at that right there. He is defiant. He is fighting for you.

Right there. Donald Trump was saved by God today. I do not say, Blake, I know that might sound cringe for some people, but two millimeters away, Blake, two millimeters away. You can see right there. You could see the blood. You could see that it's scathing. They have done everything they can to take this guy out and he is still fighting.

And he refuses to back down. This is not normal political talk anymore. And the left has brought this to this country. The left has been dreaming about the assassination of Trump. They've been dreaming about Trump. And it was a rifle at some distance. And I said this, we need to know the exact Secret Service officials who allowed this to happen. The Secret Service that didn't do their job.

I mean, they have one of the largest budgets that you could imagine. And praise God that Donald Trump is alive and well, that Donald Trump is still breathing right now, that that bullet could have went. Can we show it again, Ryan, about getting in trouble or is that it's too graphic? I don't want to have the feed suddenly taken down.

I'm going to tell I'm going to say this once. I'm going to say it twice and say three times. I need you guys to stay calm right now. I know that's not the tone that you want, but don't do anything stupid right now because they tried to assassinate Donald Trump. This whoever it was, whoever the person was that did this or their motive. We know the real motive here. OK, we know exactly what's going on. Look at that picture. Internalize that picture. Look at that. You see that, Blake? It's up against his ear.

And he wanted to keep on doing the rally. He wanted to keep the rally going. He was defiant. Blake, I was working out when this was happening. You know what my first reaction was? My first reaction was, oh, it's probably some scare that we've seen before. And I said, wait a second. He's got blood on his ear. The bullet grazed him. This was two millimeters away from an assassination attempt.

Of a former president and soon to be next president United States, just days from getting the convention nomination. And you Democrats, you brought this to our country. You kept on escalating the rhetoric. You decided to throw the Department of Justice against Donald Trump. You said he's going to spend 700 years in federal prison. And all of a sudden you guys can get the sentencing you want and presidential immunity. You brought this. You guys were fantasizing about Donald Trump being dead for years from Kathy Griffin to Snoop Dogg.

From the play in Central Park. And so the Democrat Party has been the party of violence. And praise God that this was just two millimeters away. Two millimeters away. And by the way, CNN is saying, oh, there was an incident. We don't know if there's a shooter. We know there was a shooter. Look at that picture right there. That was a rifle from some distance. And we have, by the way, we're going to have some staff call in from straight, um,

from the rally there in total lockdown. And I'm going to go there. I'm going to say this, the secret service. I have been warning about the failures of secret service, right? Blake on this program for quite some time. I've said they're overly bureaucratic. They're not doing their job. Let's make sure we tweet this image out too. Let's put cut six up on the screen. This is Kathy Griffin. Remember Kathy Griffin, the Hollywood actress. She was, she was fantasizing the death of Donald Trump right there and cut six. You have it on screen.

This is what they've wanted. They have been wanting to create the preconditions for the assassination and the death of Donald Trump for quite some time. And they said, oh, you know, we'll just do it by bankrupting his business empire. And he refused to give up. Oh, we're just going to do it by trying to take his take his freedom away by putting him in prison. Oh, we're going to do it by showing that Steve Bannon goes to prison and Peter Navarro goes to prison. This what this was the next obvious step. And I we we we've been saying this and we were mocked by the media.

We said very clearly, NBC News, other places, that they are now going to try to assassinate Donald Trump. And praise God that he's okay. Blake, what are you saying? There are reports of multiple shooters. Is that right, Blake? I've seen reports of that. I will caution. There's always reports of multiple shooters for every abrupt shooting like this. So...

All predictions wrong or your money back. But we have seen reports of this from on the scene that there's suspected multiple shooters and that I think only one of them had been neutralized. So that's one of the things that makes me wonder if it was only one. We'll see. The other thing I'm seeing is everyone is now passing around CNN's headline on this. You know, Trump injured in an incident at Pennsylvania rally. No, no.

Washington Post. No, this is unbelievable. Washington Post. Trump escorted after loud noises at Pennsylvania rally. I think. Are you kidding me? Washington Post. This is the worst loud noises. Trump's speech interrupted by Secret Service interrupted. They tried to murder him. Put that up back up on screen. The media is trying to cover up the fact that they tried to murder Donald J. Trump, the former president of the United States.

And soon to be next president. And Washington Post says Trump escorted away after loud noises at Pennsylvania rally. They are so afraid. They are so terrified that you might actually see that they tried to kill Donald Trump.

By the way, let's get this next picture up on screen here. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former president is safe. The Secret Service, not even they're not even saying, oh, it was this is an embarrassment to the U.S. Secret Service. Secret Service has not had a call this close since Ronald Reagan in 1980. You got to wonder, was there an agent that was actually doing their job? Was this incompetence? Was this malice? I'm going to go there. We've had a lot of this even remotely acceptable.

We've had all these reports about the Secret Service being in decay. They've had agents who have mental breakdowns on the job.

They had a diversity initiative at the Secret Service. I don't know how much that's affected Trump's detail. Maybe he's dodged it because he has his better guys, but not that much better, apparently. We're going to have someone call in straight from the front lines here. All right. This is a developing situation. Let's put cut seven up. By the way, I was so mocked for this when I said this at the Turning Point Action Conference. I said, Charlie Kirk fears plot to assassinate Donald Trump. What else do they have left? That was a couple of weeks ago. I was mocked. I was ridiculed. I was laughed at.

And let's put cut eight right there. That's Donald Trump with the bloodied ear as a bullet grazed the ear of Donald John Trump. Look at that. Washington Post is refusing to cover this. All of them are refusing to cover this. Thank God that he is OK. And the media is front page of CNN dot com. Are they saying that this was an assassination attempt? Oh, Trump injured at incident in Pennsylvania. And by the way, other people by reports on the front lines is that other people were killed in this.

that a body was just carried out outside of the shooter. And Donald Trump is fist pumping defiantly throughout this. And by the way, you know what's trending on Twitter right now, Blake? How do you miss?

That's right. That's the nastiness of the American left. You hear that? Over 3000 people have now tweeted. Six thousand. Six thousand. And also staged. They say that it's staged. How do you miss the American Democrat Party right now? Is there upset? How did you miss this one? How did you miss? It's not a joke, everybody.

This one has 129,000 views and they have a Palestine flag, of course. You were supposed to JFK him, not Roosevelt him. How do you miss that? That has 2.6 thousand retweets, Charlie. 2,600 retweets for that. Do we have Jack right now?

Hey, Charlie, I'm here. We have Jack. Jack, what's going on? Jack, this is break. Jack, the media is refusing to cover this. I'm trending on Twitter. They say, how do you miss? And praise God, Donald Trump is OK as they they're going to try to call this a false flag. They're already saying this on Twitter, where Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet at a rally in Pennsylvania. Well, Charlie, it's it's it's very clear what happened here. And look, I was just at the pool with my kids, got the phone call, drove straight down to the studio. Look,

Look at the trajectory of this bullet. Look where it hit. Look where it took place. It's very clear. God saved the life of Donald Trump today. If that bullet had been a couple of millimeters, a couple of inches to the right, you're talking brain pan. You're talking cerebral cortex. You're talking all.

the central nervous system, everything that's there, all the important parts that keep us going. Someone had actually the first call that I got on this was someone saying that they thought from the initial video that it looked like Trump was clutching his neck. It turns out he's actually clutching his ear. But, you know, a couple of minutes, a couple of inches lower, this could have been the end. It's very clear that God saved the life of Donald Trump. And let's let's say, by the way,

The main thing that's on my mind here, Charlie, is yes, the politics will happen and we are going to need to have a complete investigation and fallout of what exactly the left is saying politically. But Charlie, what a absolute failure.

fall out and collapse in security. This is a national security disaster. How did the Secret Service let this happen? Look, I understand it. So you're in an open air field. You're in an open air environment, open air rally. Those are going to have inherent dangers to them from sniper fire because you cannot

possibly protect from all fields of fire but that's why you make sure to do it in a far open field and then any implement anything that's high enough to be able to get a shot like that is supposed to be watched it's supposed to be watched not only continuously being scanned by secret service teams also uniformed service teams but also scanned by counter sniper teams that are always put into place for i can't even tell you how many events charlie you've been to so many presidential events

or just events with Secret Service detail these. We know exactly how this is done. Why was this person allowed to get that close to President Trump with a high-powered rifle or a long-range rifle? We can't tell exactly sure what it is yet. We've got contacts, and I'll just say it, Charlie, a friend of mine, a friend of yours, Saurabh Sharma, was on the ground. He's been sending videos from inside. He was put in harm's way because not only...

was the shooter able to get a shot off of Trump, but they were able to potentially, and it looks like, of course, early reports, caveats on all of this, but Saurabh Sharma, who was there present, has videos of what he says is a body that's being taken out. So potentially someone who was just a spectator, he's got the video up on X right now, and you can see what appears to be a body being carried out. Again, we don't know the status of

of that person or the identity of that person, of course, but we're praying for everybody who was at that rally. BrickSuit was at that rally. I had tons of friends. This is my home state. This is my home state of Pennsylvania. So I have tons of friends that were attending this thing, that were going there, hoping to see Trump before. And Charlie, of course, we've got the RNC tomorrow. So the question, of course, with the medical status of President Trump, will the RNC be able to kick off?

in terms of schedule, will schedule change based upon this? We just don't know. But at this point, my thoughts really are, how was it that you had such an absolute disaster in terms of security? Why did the Secret Service not come in?

And do you know, I went up to an agent in Detroit. I said, the way you guys are running things, I don't think Donald Trump is safe. And he says, oh yeah, okay, pal. Looks like you guys don't know what you're doing, Secret Service person. Cut 12 up on screen. Kenneth Vogel says, Biden told donors on a private call this afternoon, quote, it's time to put Trump in the bullseye. That's Joe Biden on July 8th. Was Joe Biden calling for the assassination of Donald Trump?

By the way, USA Today has come out and said it's loud noises. Oh, yeah, like somebody was setting off fireworks. And then Reid Hoffman was saying, oh, I wish we could have made him an actual martyr. Donald Trump literally just took a bullet for you, everybody. Too bad they missed is trending by the American left right now. We have never lived through anything like this.

Charlie. Yes, please, Jack. Yes. I've got to send this into you guys. I just got sent this in from MSNBC. Trump apparently injured at rally in Butler. Apparently injured is the MSNBC chyron. Apparently injured when he's grabbing his ear and there's blood streaming across his face. Apparently injured. Apparently injured. He was shot like Kennedy and survived. He was shot in the head. He was shot in the head.

Butler County District Attorney says one person is believed to be dead. Donald Trump is okay. I'm telling you, this is unbelievable, everybody. This is something that is profound. And understand what they were, this is all they had left. This is all they had left was to try to kill him, was to try to assassinate the 45th and soon to be 47th President of the United States. They knew that our movement was ascended. Praise, can we just say a prayer on air here, Jack? If I

If I like glory be to God in the highest for your intervention and your protection of Donald Trump. And for those of you that pray daily for Trump, for those of you that ask the the heaven, the heavens and the angels to protect Trump. God, listen to your prayers. And by the way, there is a new video showing somebody on a roof that looks to be almost dead. How did this how is this person allowed to be on the roof?

um jack is that a real video there i don't know if that's legit or not this is yeah yeah i'm sending that in the chat right now there's a lot of these videos there's a lot of these videos that are thrown that are thrown out thrown around that i'm trying to figure out exactly what this was like i said i've got a lot of friends that are at that rally that are sending me videos in now so i'm trying to figure out exactly what exactly what it is that we're seeing but yeah it looks

There's some very strange videos that are coming out. That's all I'm going to say at this point. But look, this right here, I mean, you will always remember this moment in time. With the far left, with the left and the Democrats have done to this country, there is only one option here. And Donald Trump wanted to keep the rally going. He wanted to keep the rally going. And he was able to avoid an assassination attempt.

Bill Malusian is now reporting the Secret Service. The Secret Service is such a joke. I just texted Speaker Johnson. I said, you need to haul in the United States Secret Service in front of Congress immediately. There needs to be hearings. There needs to be firings. I guarantee you, though, almost nobody will be fired for this. Almost nobody will be fired.

And by the way, the Secret Service, they're such clowns and they've been clowns for so long. We've been saying that and people, oh, they roll their eyes and they ignore. Oh, yeah, whatever. Jack, let me ask you a question. Why did they not have those protective barriers up around him that prevent shooting? Do you know what I'm talking about?

I know exactly what you're talking about. You can have protective barriers. You can have the glass. Of course, anyone who wants to watch the January 6th videos, you could see that that glass is up in front of President Trump at the ellipse there when he was speaking. Of course, by the way, if you're speaking at a rally, and I've been at numerous rallies like this, what you can do if, for example, this is western Pennsylvania, so this is fracking country. I remember when he spoke there in 2020, they actually used

they used fracking drills, they used wells to be able to pre-position in place. So for example, when you see those flags that are flying from cranes and things like that, that are at these outside rallies, those are actually there not just for decorative purposes,

but also for security purposes. So a potential sniper would not be able to see the primary target, would not be able to see the speaker. That's a reason why you see those things placed at strategic angles. Also, and we're getting some, what I'm trying to do, and I've got some friends, other vets that are looking at this, that are trying to determine potential angles of the shot based on this, because apparently Trump turns his head

at one point prior to the shot being taken place. And so a lot of people are thinking that because his head was turned, the shooter was looking for a profile shot, which potentially could mean the shooter was in that direction actually off to. So I think what.

And just based on what I'm looking at here right now, I don't even have a computer in front of me, but it looks like that would be to the Trump's right, to the right of the stage. So not directly behind or directly in front, but off to the right, in which case that would mean the shooter could potentially be from that distance using again, um,

Just going off the sound, it could have been like a .308 round, maybe a 5.56 round. I saw some people saying .22, also possible. But, you know, I just don't know that somebody would attempt something like that with a .22. But, again, of course, we're going to find out sooner or later. But I'm going to say it probably sounds a lot more like a rifle because you hear that crack sound as opposed to the pop of a pistol or handgun.

So, so guys, this is a developing situation. There's also another person killed in the audience, whether that person was a shooter or not. We do not know, but we are, we have our prayers for people in the audience that were also shot. The media cannot Jack or Blake, can you comment on this? The media can't bring themselves because they know the media knows that they report on this and they're, we're going to force them. We are going to force the hand CNN. You know what CNN just put up, put this on screen. It's it's so yeah.

It's so bizarre. CNN, by the way, I want to like I got to interrupt. We have Noah. Do we have Noah on guys studio? We have Noah on the line. Is that right? But by the way, CNN says Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.

That is CNN. You do not hate the media enough. You don't hate these maggots enough. That is the CNN. It's so bad. CNN. All you have to do is say, Trump injured after apparent gunshots at rally. Like, okay, you have to be careful. You can't say Trump shot until it's confirmed by the team because it's a huge story, so you can't overrun yourself. But just say, Trump hurt after apparent gunshots. That's all you have to do. But instead, they're like, Trump falls. Like, did he trip?

Unreal. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So, okay. So Tyler, by the way, can we let Tyler in as well, please? Let's let Tyler in. So we're letting Tyler into the chat here. So Jack, we are seeing reports of multiple shooters here.

So you're always going to hear that. Take everything with a grain of salt. Take everything that you see within the next, certainly the next 24 minutes to 24 hours. He was shot. You don't take that with a grain of salt. He was shot. You don't have to take that with a grain of salt, but there's always going to be a lot of

of a lot of these reports and you know I saw someone will say they saw somebody with a long rifle but of course that could be another Secret Service agent that could be another person that was there for one of these counter sniper teams and particularly in events like this of course you've also got local police that are involved other agencies DHS may have been down Secret Service has um Secret Service has the cat team so you've got a FBI could have been there supplementing so you never know exactly which agencies will be there or what particular

or clothing that they're wearing. That being said, that could also be something that the shooter would potentially be using to their advantage, try to potentially conceal themselves as one of these counter sniper teams that's always at one of these outdoor rallies. And I would say as well to anybody, if you happen to be listening and you're at the rally still, or potentially I just got off the phone with one of my friends who was there that was shaken up, but you know, doing, is doing well. First time ever,

have gunshots or be in the line of gunfire. And what protocol would be is that Secret Service should be checking every single vehicle before they get out of that field, before they get out of that area, because we don't know if this person had help. We don't know if this person had a spotter, maybe people in the crowd that were

potentially in communication with the person. Again, we just don't know what we know at this point. But at this point, the Secret Service needs to err on the side of caution and everybody in that crowd needs to be checked.

We are going to get a firsthand. We're going to know for Mike. Many of you guys know him. He's registered a thousand voters himself. We're getting him on here. We have footage of the alleged shooter here and how the Secret Service let this happen. They need to be hauled in front of Congress. These people need to be humiliated. These people need to be. And look how close the alleged shooter was. Do you see that, Jack? How close this person was?

Oh, my goodness. Wow. This is praise the Lord and all of it. If you are watching right now, please praise God. Say a prayer to God almighty. And CNN now CNN's changed their headline. Trump injured an incident at Pennsylvania. They're getting closer. They're getting closer. He was shot. He was shot, guys. Wait, so they're saying this is the shooter. This was the shooter inside the perimeter. Potentially. I'm not sure.

Blake, what, what, what is Blake still there? I'm still here. I'm still here. I'm seeing breaking from the spectator index. I don't know how reliable they are. County prosecutor says two people died at Trump rally, including suspect. That's a minute ago. So, so Tyler is in here. Um,

Can we play cut 14? Is Ryan okay with that? Cut 14? As you listen to that audio very carefully, what you'll hear is what appears to be Secret Service agents after a second volley of sounds that go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. They shoot down, shooter is down. We are working to confirm that with the Secret Service, but that's what the audio at the scene tells us. So it's not very clear, but...

And by the way, Trump wanted to keep the rally going. He was fighting the Secret Service. He was fighting the Secret Service as it was happening, Blake. He was resisting it in real time. OK, we have Tyler here. Tyler, do we have do we have Noah for Micah? Tyler, do we have Noah as an ability to call in? Can you guys hear me? OK, Noah's getting on right now. Yes, we can. OK, good. He's Tyler. What is your reaction to this, Tyler?

They're having serious service issues there right now because they've locked everybody in. They're keeping everybody there until they can go through and sort through absolutely every witness that they've got on the ground. So they're being very calm and instructive on the ground there right now. That's what Noah's been saying. We've had him on the phone with Brett. So he's just having some technical difficulties with getting on the Internet. So we're going to try to get him on the phone.

Well, well, by the way, guys, in a sense, Charlie, just by the way, to put that out in a situation like that, one of the first things that Secret Service might do, because, again, you have no idea if you're and you hope that you're dealing with a loan shooter, but you have no idea if you're dealing with a loan shooter or you're dealing with something that is more potentially developed than that. So if you're dealing with a cell, if you're dealing with a situation where you could have a sit.

You could have IEDs. You could have remote-controlled IEDs. You could have anything that's set up for that rally. So one of the first things they'll do in a situation like that, if there is a potential bomb threat, they will put up cell phone jammers and they will shut down all remote-controlled signals. So they will not have – this is standard operating procedure. I'm not saying that's what's going on. I'm just saying standard operating procedure is you would set that up to shut down any potential IEDs controlled by remote.

so that if anything was going to go off or there was, you know, if you were targeting, say, the medical motorcade or targeting the motorcade itself or targeting Trump fans, targeting anyone else who's coming in. Again, we don't know exactly what it is we're dealing with. We don't know if there's other people involved at this point. This is developing. And we obviously we hope that everyone's OK. We're hearing that's not the case. But we certainly hope that whatever the threat is, it has already been contained.

But you have to understand that just because even if one person is in custody, and I don't even know if that's clear yet, that they're talking about a shooter down, but we're not entirely sure if that's true or not. And I'm waiting to hear official approval or official announcement on that, that we don't know if the threat is still ongoing. So to anyone who's got friends who are there, just keep in mind, if you do get a signal out to them, make sure that they know to keep their eyes open and to maintain a sense of high guard because you don't know what could be around you.

Secondly, I mean, look, there are a lot of people right now that are upset that the bullet didn't hit Trump. Just look at Twitter. They're they are lamenting it. RFK says this. Now's the time for every American who loves our country. Step back from division, renounce all violence and unite in prayer for President Trump and his family. Good for you, RFK. Will Joe Biden do the same? Hey, Joe Biden, where's your tweet? You're on the beach in Delaware. Where's your you're the president of the United States. The Secret Service is is is what you oversee. Where's your where's the Secret Service?

Where is your react? By the way, on Twitter, they are they're trying to trend BB gun. That's what they're saying. See that, Jack? Trending on Twitter. They're trying to say, oh, it was a BB gun. They're doing the left. There's no way they possibly can to try and minimize this. Joe Biden's most recent tweet. Thanks for the warm welcome, Detroit. It's the most recent one. Where's the president of the United States denouncing? By the way, the Secret Service is completely under Joe Biden's control and jurisdiction. Well, it's after completely under his jurisdiction.

So here you go. We're after, we're after 4 p.m. Oh, it's after 4 p.m. And, and Joe Biden can't respond. We know that the first lady was out speaking to Jill Biden. So the commander in chief was out there. She's speaking. Kamala Harris is out and speaking. So one of the potential actual presidents could have responded, but Joe Biden, it's after 4 p.m. He's at his beach house. They couldn't get it. Blake, are you sure? But they couldn't even put up one tweet to say that we've been informed and we're monitoring the situation. Anything like that? Nothing, nothing. Uh, Biden Harris HQ has also said nothing. Uh,

You know, maybe they're just thinking better to say nothing, but it's pretty bad. Over 170,000 liberals on Twitter thinks that it was staged. So Parnell, Sean Parnell, who was live at the rally, says there were six shots.

There were six shots and multiple shooters. Parnell would know. Wasn't Parnell a SEAL or he was some sort of advanced Army Ranger or something, right, Jack? Ranger, right? He's Army. Yeah, Sean Parnell's Army, and he's someone who's been – he was in Afghanistan, and he's someone who has been in numerous firefights. Obviously, that being said, based on your initial –

Your initial sense of things, you never really know for sure what's going on. But obviously this is someone who would be, honestly, Sean Parnell is the kind of person that I would want to have with me if I were in a situation like this, because he's been down that road more times than he can count. Did you see the killer's video? Two people right behind Sean Parnell hit. So this was not a BB gun, guys. This was not some sort of playtime. This was based on all reports, a legitimate, a legitimate,

uh weapon can we get that uh clip that yes sorry i'm reading five things at once i'm trying to host this thing can we get that with that jake rosen one can we get that um butler county district attorney roger goldeneer tells me trump was grazed by gunfire but is safe an audience member was killed and the shooter is dead another person is in serious condition the prosecutor said hey cnn when are you gonna put that can we put that up on screen cnn when are you gonna change your headline

NBC, when are you going to change your headline? Oh, you don't want to admit that you might have invited an assassination against Donald Trump. You guys are responsible for this. This is what you wanted. This is what you hoped for. Oh, the NBC news. This is so great. Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after popping noises. We've graduated the popping noises, guys. That's what we're at. Someone might have opened a can of Coke. That's right. Popping noises. They say popping noises.

Where's Joe Biden's? Where is Joe Biden's statement? I'm sure one is coming, but he's not running into it. Some of these videos of this guy that allegedly that are going around Twitter. I mean, it's like just a few hours before the shooting. Pretty, pretty crazy. Pretty crazy stuff, if it's true. Stephen Stephen Chung has a Trump would have if Trump would have turned his if you would have heard his if Trump would have turned his head even a couple inches, just a couple of inches. Oh, yeah. Then he would have been killed.

If he had turned his head or, you know, Charlie, I almost don't even want to talk about it. But, you know, well, I mean, it's not even a matter of talking about it. I mean, this was right. This is right in front of us, right in front of us. When I first got the call, someone told me that he hit that it was his neck. And, you know, the initial question becomes, what do you what do you do? What do you actually do in a situation like that when someone who's not just your candidate, but the center of the entire movement is just gone?

in an instant. And guess what? That's what they wanted. That's exactly what they wanted. That's what this person was clearly attempting to do. This was, this would have been a disaster for our country. It would have disaster for our world. This would have been something that obviously would have thrown the entire country into mass chaos. And who knows, who knows what this person actually wanted as the full on, uh,

scope of their of their actions today but there's no question in my mind that this would have thrown not just the election into chaos our entire country into chaos no this would have put the entire civilization into chaos and and the secret service will not no one will be fired from this let's put up someone lose their pension over this probably not put image 19 this is donald trump on the ground with a bullet that just grazed his ear that right there i want you to internalize and soak in that right my goodness i i

I don't have... Knowing that someone's shooting at his head. No words. In that moment, the shots are still ringing out. It's just that fast, folks. It's just that fast. The intentionality of this potentially, with the chaos just right before the R&C events and everything else, it's going to be really interesting to see as we learn more about who the shooter is.

You know, clearly, if it's true, some of the reporting has been there's been some Antifa elements that are involved here. I don't know if that's true or not, but clearly these are people with chaos. Clearly, there's there's chaos that are here. What is the convention going to look like at this point? We'll get to that later. That's not as important. Let's go to cut 20 montage of liberals. First reaction cut 20.

Live pictures coming out of Butler, Pennsylvania, where some loud noises were heard. We don't know exactly what they were yet. The Secret Service rushed him off stage after these loud noises. He was talking to a crowd. We heard noises. He was standing there at the podium, uh,

flinched at a noise. We heard, um, we heard sounds. We heard noises. We don't know what they were. Banging or cracking, loud cracking noises. At first I thought, "Is that a-- is that fireworks?" There were reports of a lot of noise, a loud, loud noise. We heard the loud noises. There were loud noises. We heard those noises. Loud noises were heard. We had heard those-- whatever that sound was, whether it was fireworks or whatnot. I don't want to try to speculate on what that noise was.

Loud noises. It was a gunshot, a gunshot CNN. But they can't say that there is growing concern. This is just unbelievable. Like this is now NBC News says this. There's growing concern in law enforcement that this may have been a serious attempt on the life of former President Trump to senior U.S. law enforcement officials. Tell NBC News. Oh, really? Now you're saying that, Jack? NBC News is now saying that.

By the way, I want to get this clip. I've sent it. Yeah, let's play cut 21. Thank you, Ryan. Let's play cut 21. By the way, if you guys are seeing anything in real time you think we should cover, let's use the combined audience as our research team. Email me freedom at charliekirk.com. Cut 21. That's exactly where I heard him come from. What did you see, sir? I heard the shots. I thought it was firecrackers to begin with. Somebody over there was screaming, he's been shot, he's been shot. So I made my way over.

I said, I'm an emergency department physician. Let me help you. The guy had spun around and was jammed between the benches. He had a headshot here. There was lots of blood, and he had brain matter. So I got him. There's a helicopter coming in to get him. So I got people there really helpful. Was there only one person shot that you saw? CPR, chest compressions, as well as a brief one. One person? Just to clear with you guys, we need to evacuate everybody.

I just got a message. I want to get Noah through. Guys, yes, really quick, Blake, and then I want to go to Noah. I just got a message from a friend. I thought, okay, Twitter, people are insane on Twitter. But a friend of mine just messaged me. Two different liberals in my office, this is a lawyer, ventured it might be staged. And I just openly bullied and mocked them until one of them left. Okay.

Unbelievable. These are supposedly smart people and they just they delete their brain. These these are sick. No, these are sick and disgusting. The Democrat Party is a disgusting stain on this country. And they have talked about calling Trump a dictator, calling Trump Hitler, hoping that he dies, hoping that he gets assassinated. They have been hoping for this the entire time. Make no mistake about it.

The biggest regrets in the country right now are Democrats that wish the bullet would have went two millimeters closer to Donald Trump's brain. We have Noah for Micah. Is Noah ready? I think he's on in the waiting room. Do we have him, guys? Hey, Charlie, can you hear me? Yes, Noah, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you. Noah, what did you see at the rally? You you were there. What's going on?

Okay, so, you know, we're walking around registering voters. We're on the other side of the Jersey barrier. You know, the whole rally from the outside. And all of a sudden, we hear, you know, these shots going off. At first, people thought they were fireworks.

And all of a sudden, everybody started running and people were screaming, Trump got shot, Trump got shot. Somebody said never surrender. And then all of a sudden, we were near the SWAT van around the corner and they just tore down the Jersey barrier and they all started running in. It was a scary situation. We all just started running.

So, Noah, first of all, based on what you heard and what you've heard since, do you think there was one shooter or multiple shooters? Noah, what are you hearing on the ground? So what I am hearing on the ground is one shooter was taken out, but they said there's possibly one more shooter. From what I can tell, the cell tower is down right now, and Secret Service is still on the scene investigating.

So, Noah, the reaction from the audience as you heard it and you were right there as it occurred and the shots started to ring out, was your initial reaction like, no way, this was guns, this was fireworks? And then walk us through those couple seconds of what you were feeling and what you were sensing as things went from confusion to very heaviness.

So, you know, when it started happening, I was like, oh, it's just fireworks. No big deal. And then, you know, all of a sudden, like, it just went from, you know, one to ten all the, like, in just a few seconds. And, I mean, I'm still shook at that. It was scary being so close to the whole scene. Yeah.

And, you know, when people say Trump was shot, like everybody at our table was, you know, in disbelief. We were crying. I mean, I teared up a little because, I mean, it's such a scary situation. And I mean, our people, they just said, you know, Trump is going to win the 2024 election. I mean, no doubt about it.

This, so Tyler, I know you're still, Tyler, you still online here, Tyler? Yeah, yeah, I'm here. I don't know if we had yet. Tyler, do you have some thoughts or questions for Noah here as he's on the front lines? He was attending the rally.

Yeah, Noah, were people running towards the stage at that point too? Or was it just absolute utter chaos? And what were some of the other activists that you're with, what was the immediate reaction? And are they holding some of you guys and still talking to you about what you've seen? Well, yeah, people are still, you know, on the scene talking about what they saw, you know.

A lot of activists right now. Are you still, are you guys still inside? Are you guys all still inside? We're outside the rally right now. We're just outside the main gate. Pretty much it's all clear. Secret Service cleared it out really fast in probably a few minutes. But I mean, there were thousands of people running from that rally. I mean, it just felt like it never ended watching everybody just flee.

Wow. Well, Noah, please stay safe. I mean, this is you were at a historic place. And Jack, do you have any questions here for Noah, who was there front lines and heard and was sensing all of it as it was occurring?

Noah, which direction did you see Secret Service or law enforcement going? Did you see, was it a fan out? Was there any significant movement in one direction or another? And did it seem as though they were going outside the perimeter or targeting someone inside? So from what I heard, it sounds like they were targeting someone inside the perimeter.

My volunteers came back too and they were telling me like, oh, it's somebody inside. Like everybody's saying it was an inside job. Like that's the scene right here and now. Wow, scary. That's scary stuff. It's almost unbelievable. It's really scary. So Charlie, we have to... Yes.

So we have to start asking the possibility then. And based on what we're hearing come in, and my initial thoughts were that this was someone from outside the perimeter. But if this was someone who was inside the security perimeter, that means a firearm was allowed to get into Trump's rally.

It doesn't surprise me, though. I mean, that doesn't surprise me. And I just want to I want to let Noah go here in a second. Noah, stay safe. Thank you for your great work here. And, you know, just now use this as conviction to go register more voters. Noah, there's only one option, everybody. You must put the man they tried to kill in the White House. Could you imagine if it was two milliliters closer to his brain? Could you imagine everybody?

praise god it wasn't noah use this as conviction we must win in november all right noah thank you so much i want to get andrew in on this and i will tell you thank you yes please one voter how many how many one voters we registered 101 voters on the scene here at the trump rally wow job

God bless, man. And now this is going to win. This is only going to this is yes. And the Democrats, they wanted this and they are upset. It didn't work. Go look at go look at Twitter right now. Trending on Twitter. He missed. How do you have one job? The Democrats on Twitter right now, tens of thousands of them are upset that the bullet was not more accurate on his brain. I'm not kidding you. That that is what they're saying. Jack, what are you hearing and seeing right now? Let's let's play the B-roll to Jack. What are you hearing and seeing?

Well, I'm hearing a lot of people. BBC's got an interview up with a guy outside the security perimeter who says that he saw the shooter before he fired. I'll send that in. Again, we're getting a lot of video, a lot coming in right now. So I just want to be very clear with people that, you know, we...

we are in the fog of war. We're very much in the fog of war. It's very hard to say anything definite at this point regarding the shooter, multiple shooters, single shooter. At this point, any ID of the shooter, I think, would be premature, honestly. And we also have to look at this and understand that when we're looking at these videos, I mean, we're playing the B-roll now. That's

It looks as though Trump is actually trying to break through the secret. He's actually trying to fight off his secret service there. He's trying to fight off his secret service to get back to keep the rally going. He's trying to fight off his, he's like, I'm fine, I'm fine. And why a bullet grazes his ear.

My goodness. He's being shot in the head. He's being shot at in the head. There are bullets flying. For all he knows, the bullets are still flying. Now they're following protocol when something like that happens. You're supposed to be rushed off the stage immediately. Trump stops and you can see him. He's trying to get back to the microphone. He's actually trying to continue the speech. He doesn't want to walk down. He doesn't want to walk away. And the Secret Service are

physically forcing him into the back of this. And they're following, that's the CAT team right there. So that's the combat action team. So of course, they're following protocol. They're following standard procedure. You're probably looking, I would really like to know, by the way, whether or not President Trump was wearing a bulletproof vest right here.

I would really like to know that. So I want to get this. I want to get this BBC interview and we can keep the mics on so we can react in real time. So, Ryan, can you it's four minutes long. So let's get this here. I'm told it's very, very good. Get this and we can keep our mics on and give commentary throughout here. They tried to kill Donald Trump. They tried to kill Donald Trump, grazed his ear. In fact, if you watch the footage when it happened, bang, bang, bang, bang.

We are talking about millimeters. Will this wake people up finally what we're up against? We knew that this was coming. We predicted it. We saw it and praise the Lord that it was unsuccessful. Praise the Lord. Let's get some of that just back up, guys. Let's keep throwing them up as we're let's of Donald Trump being shot. That's right. Donald Trump shot at rally. Look at that. Jack, what's going on in that picture? What does that picture tell you, Jack?

What is your first reaction just looking at that? So yeah, it looks like it hit his ear and then those grazes you're seeing are from probably his fingers from touching the ear and then grazing it across his face. So I don't think those are wounds across his cheek and his lower lip there. I think what you're seeing and you might actually see a little divot that's taken out of

the top part of his ear. Now that being said, um, too small to be a three Oh eight round. So potentially you're looking at either five, five, six or two, two, three, just based on that. Uh, again, you know, we're not entirely sure here, but either way would still be a rifle round and, um, guessing would, you know, guessing five, five, six, just based on range. Again, the,

we don't know for sure the idea that someone would be able to get in. And remember, so if someone is inside, so Charlie, you and I have been to rallies a million times that

So again, go back to the trajectory of where, so Trump is looking to the right side of the stage at this point. So if he's looking to the right side of the stage and the bullets coming from the front, so towards his face, that means the shooter was to that side. If it's coming from behind, it looks like it was coming from, it could potentially have been coming from the back.

Since they did say that somebody was shot behind him based on trajectory, that would lead me to believe that it's staged left. But Charlie, you and I usually know that there aren't,

There aren't generally grandstands on there. So I would really like to see at this point where my head is, I would like to see the overall image lay downs as much as possible. If there's ever any aerial shots, if there's any helicopters that were flying over to give us any kind of footage that, you know, even in the near term, not, you know, during when the shots were fired, but give us a,

some kind of aerial overlay of what exactly the picture was, the security posture was going in, and then also where any potential shooter could have been. If someone was inside, this is the biggest security lapse we've seen since JFK. Yeah, and Ronald Reagan as well. There has not been a shooting in nearly 40 years of a former president or president. Let's keep our mics on, guys, please. We're going to react to all this the first time. Let's play Cut 28 here. I've had a bunch of people send this around. Play Cut 28, keep our mics on.

Someone who was here, you weren't inside the event, but you were just outside. Tell us what you saw. So we had a party here all day. You can see behind us, the Burkles Farm and Greenhouse here. We had a party. And we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're going to walk up through the field, stand by the trees out there under the shade, and listen to the rally. We couldn't see him, but we could hear him.

So we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking, I'm estimating here, I have no idea, you know, but we noticed the guy crawling, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us.

Wow. What? Wow. This is my initial thought. This is exactly what I thought happened. I knew it.

And next thing you know, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage? I'm standing there pointing at him for two or three minutes. Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this.

And next thing you know, five shots were out. - So you're certain that the shots came from that guy on the roof? - 100%, 100%. - And he was up there for a couple of minutes? - He was up there. - You were up there for a couple of minutes? - Absolutely, at least three to four minutes. - And you were telling the police and the Secret Service? - We were telling the police, we were pointing at them for the Secret Service who were looking at us from the top of the barn. They were looking at us the whole time when we were standing by that tree. - Could they see the binoculars? - Could they see them? - Probably not.

They did nothing. He's talking about a counter sniper team that he was signaling. Your job is to check those roofs when you're a counter sniper team. You're looking for snipers. Absolutely. 100%. Yep.

You saw that happen? Yep, yep. Okay. And did you see them go up to him afterwards? Yeah, they crawled up on the roof. They had their guns pointed at him, made sure he was dead. He was dead, and that was it. It was over. That's incredibly shocking. The guy was on the roof right there. You could see the white roof right there. Did you get a look at him? Could you... No, other than he was in...

muted colors, tan-type clothing. We saw the rifle flinging around as he was trying to crawl. I mean, we saw the rifle, 100%. - I mean, do you know about guns? Do you know what kind of weapon it was? - Oh, I absolutely know about guns, for sure. I mean, it was a rifle of some sort. I wouldn't know, you know, I wasn't close enough to read the label on it. - No, sure. But I thought it was stupid. - It was a rifle of some sort. Yeah, absolutely. - So, how do you process what you've just seen?

I don't know what to say man. All I'll tell you is, you know, if I walked up close to there with anything that Secret Service considered a problem, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now. But I don't know why a guy who we're standing there pointing out to police and Secret Service is crawling up the roof. Yes, we're right there by that tree. We're outside the security permit. But my question is,

There's only a few buildings around here. Why is Secret Service not at every building here? Well, that's because they don't care. Yes, she was right in front of me. She kept going back and forth right in front of me. Yes. Tell us about her.

I mean, nice horse, nice lady running with a flag. This guy's a freaking patriot. God bless this guy. This is like your average Pennsylvania guy, by the way. This is everybody out there. Just all of the earth, man. It's a terrible thing. And just stay safe with your family. Gotcha. Thanks for your time.

All right, so I wanted to say two things. Number one, you guys have... Hold on one sec, one sec, one sec. I gotta say, guys, you gotta stay calm. Don't be violent. Don't do a countermeasure to this, please. Just like for the love of everything holy.

Just this is you got to just stay steady at the wheel. Right, Jack? You have to. Number two, I do not want people to say, oh, the Secret Service knew this was going to happen. That is not what that video shows. What that video was showing is that there might be people in the Secret Service or police that might not have done their greatest job imaginable because maybe they were just lazy or they didn't like Trump and they just turned a blind eye. That guy in that video, Blake, I want to go to you first.

And people say it's incompetence. Maybe it was incompetence. Maybe it was just like, I don't like Trump that much. We don't have to go check it out. He warned that a shooter was about to shoot for three or four minutes straight. They got lulled into being relaxed. We've been warning about the Secret Service and their incompetency for quite some time. And Blake, now with that video, what is your reaction? That...

My thought, I would say, like you said, first of all, I'm never a fan of any conspiracy theories until proven. Now, obviously, an attempted assassination of Trump is going to invite that.

But remember, think of what the factors are. This is outside the rally, so this is probably where it's less the Secret Service themselves and more accessory police who are maybe not as on the ball, not as professional. And who knows? He says he was warning for several minutes. Maybe it's possible that it's a highly intense, memorable moment. Maybe he lengthened it in his mind, and maybe this is really 45 seconds, a minute, a minute.

An amount of time where it's more reasonable that they would be slow to respond. I don't want to say reasonable, but more possible that they would be slow to respond. And from there, you get all of those things. It's also possible that they saw him and were reacting to him, and they just didn't do it on time. Because the guy, as he said, they blew his head off right away. In fact, you probably can hear the shots that are hitting the shooter on the clip that we all heard. That's probably the second burst of gunfire that we hear is the shooter getting taken out.

I imagine we'll get plenty of investigation into this. Anytime a bullet grazes a presidential candidate... Or not, or Blake, it could end up being...

It could be the Warren Commission or it could be where just people turn the blind eye and we don't get the truth. But that video right there, he was warning police and Secret Service for three or four minutes. Hey, there's a shooter on the roof, guys. There's somebody on the roof, guys. There's a shooter on the roof, guys. And this police like, I don't know what we're doing. I don't know what we're doing. I don't know what's going on. And again, I want to play this because I was mocked and ridiculed by so many lefties. Journalists were mocking me for this.

Let's play cut 29. We're here at the Turning Point conference. Trump is speaking later. The Secret Service have been very kind of protective of President Trump, obviously, as they should be. No, I actually it's interesting. They had to clear out this entire room.

It threw a curveball on our entire day, but it was actually one of the greatest things because I was like, wow, they're actually doing their job to protect him from someone assassinating him. This is my question. Are you concerned about that? Well, what I saw today actually gave me a lot of hope that the Secret Service has really taken their job seriously. I know people have to wait long lines and I say, okay, well, do you want him to be protected or not? And I think people understand that. Am I worried? Worry is not the right word. I'm afraid someone's going to try because what else do they have left?

And I hope God protects him and I hope those agents around him protect him. Well, there you go. I was mocked for saying that. It went viral all over. Yes. Jack first and Tyler. I'm looking at some of those. So can we put the B-roll up again of the gentleman who's being interviewed by the BBC? If we can see that real quick. You don't have to show the video. Just show.

Yeah, just show it, just show it, because I want to point out not something that he's saying, but if you look at the buildings behind him, those red buildings, those reddish buildings. So I'm here, you know, this is near the Butler Farm Show Airport. So this area, it's the Butler Farm Show, and it's also an airport. And when you're looking around in some of the buildings that he's

gesturing towards, there are those red buildings that are directly behind him. But if you look, he keeps pointing with his left arm towards a building at, you know, a certain building in the direction and the buildings that are in the direction. If I'm getting this exactly right, because, you know, I'm just on, you know, Google Maps and over

overhead imagery it uh some of the buildings in that area next to the red buildings do appear to have that pale yellow color that matches up with one of the building or one of the videos that uh that's going around that appears to show somebody on top of it and it looks as though that guy is gesturing towards the same area of the same color building jeez and so once again by the way people can we just there seem to have figured it out before the secret service did

Well, no, no, no, not before, Jack. Now, I got to interrupt you, man. They told the Secret Service and they froze and they did nothing. They did nothing. They were just kind of like, oh, you know, and the Secret Service and the police were like, a shooter? Nah, come on. Tyler, you want to get in?

I was just going to say, I think what we're seeing in real time on Twitter and with the left are assassination deniers. We've heard election denialism. That's all they've said over and over. That's right. This is real life and death assassination denial. It's insane. I mean, this is what we've been fighting. Regular people don't see the intricacies of the war that we have between the right and the left in America.

And this is out. They got their first taste of it with Joe Biden, the reality of Joe Biden. Now we're seeing the reality of they don't care. They will discard life, including presidential candidates, and set that aside just for politics. And that's the whole shebang when it comes to the left today. It's bad. It's really bad. And hopefully people are making that decision.

This BBC interview is going very viral. It's really viral because they didn't do anything. Joe Biden has released a statement. I've been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania. I'm grateful to hear he's safe and doing well. Sure you are, Joe. A couple days ago, you said you have a bullseye on Trump. I'm praying for him and his family and all those who are at the rally as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There's no place for this kind of violence. America must unite as one nation to condemn it.

You know, these presidents don't control. This was the inevitable next step. The presidents don't control their own Twitter. Do you think Biden is fully aware that this has actually happened to Trump? I mean, it might be. No, of course not. I don't believe that until I see him. I don't believe that until we see Joe Biden. Yeah, I saw Joe. By the way, I saw the joke online. I saw the joke. I'd love to see your statement from President Trump as soon as possible. And a video to the camera statement as soon as possible. Obviously, they got to check him out and everything. But I'd love to see that as soon as possible.

And ABC News, shooter and bystander dead. Trump fine after gunfire erupt at rally. Not one of, I mean, this is the most dishonest coverage. By the way, do we have the CNN analyst who said that, do we have the CNN analyst that said Trump's family is not under attack? Do we have that? Just moments after someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump and kill him, a CNN analyst says Donald Trump and the people around him perceive themselves to be under threat. And that is not legitimate. That is what CNN says right now.

You do not hate these people enough. Trust me. You do not. You do not hate the... And by how long... They've been saying for the last couple of weeks, oh, retribution, retribution. And by the way, you know, I'm not going to say anything after that. I'm going to hold back. Everybody say a prayer to the Lord right now that Donald Trump survived this. Proud to the Lord. Charlie, you have to also know that this man is...

Yeah, under the care and auspices of God. Because, I mean, look, there's no way you get protected like this. I mean, this is literally a razor-thin, hairline type of a situation. You have to look at this and go, man, this guy is protected. It's unbelievable. It's really unbelievable. New York Post is reporting it was a...

Donald Trump and the people around him perceive themselves to be under threat. And that's all that matters. That is not legitimate. That is wrong. You hear the screams from the audience. People are terrified. I don't know if that was the right. Yeah, you guys heard that? I didn't hear the whole entire clip. Tyler, what's your reaction?

I just, I can't believe, I mean, the calmness, and this is something that nobody's talking about yet, but we'll get out ahead of it. The calmness of the crowd and around the crowd in that situation is

I mean, there's real scenarios. There's real scenarios where people die on the way out of those big crowds. I mean, we're talking thousands and thousands of people that get trampled. I mean, it really speaks to, I would just say this, it speaks to the crowd that is attracted by a Trump rally. And, you know, I don't want to get ahead without knowing everything that's going on at the space. But, you know, we haven't heard any reports of anyone getting trampled, everyone being really friendly and kind.

and kind with one another, obviously with care. That's a scary situation to be in an active shooter scenario. We've seen it with a lot fewer people. I mean, there could have been a lot of injuries here. And praise God, again, that not only did the president not get injured or killed, that other people did it as well, because these are some sick people that were obviously trying to cause a lot of harm, a lot of chaos, a lot of panic on our country. Man.

Jack, what are you reading? What are you seeing? Well, it seems kind of interesting because it almost seems like there's two scenarios forming, Charlie. And again, I'm not giving full credence, you know, all the caveats, grain of salt, fog of war. But there's this one scenario that's emerging, that's talking about

a shooter who was outside the rally, but then there does seem to be a lot of reporting about someone potentially who was inside the rally. There's a lot of images that are being shared from inside the rally, though I would exercise caution that it's possible that people are seeing videos of someone who's bloody and thinking that it might be the shooter when in fact it is one of the victims. So again, it seems like there's two scenarios emerging here. And I just think that everybody needs to be really calm at this point.

as everyone's been saying. And I did just get a text, by the way, from someone in my previous profession who says that at Mar-a-Lago, they're beefing up security, that they're putting up stuff at Trump Tower as well. I'm sure, by the way, at a lot of places around the country where there are Secret Service detailees or members of the Trump family who are under Secret Service protection if they were not at the rally itself.

They are also probably being or were at some point today brought into brought into protective custody or brought into at least, you know, a safer location than wherever they were as they went through this. We don't know. I'd like to find out who exactly members of the family wise who were there at the rally and then who wasn't. Keep in mind that this was a that we were told that there was a possibility, an outside chance that, you know,

you know, that the VP pick may have also been appearing at this rally. There was a huge speculation that he was going to be making the VP pick today. So it's possible that the shooter or shooters were targeting it because they were looking to take out both Trump and his potential VP pick. Though, of course, earlier today, I think it was reported that none of the people on the shortlist were going to be attending the rally in Pennsylvania. Of course, we don't have any information as to whether or not this was a local shooter. We don't know if this was someone who used it as a target of opportunity. We don't know if this is someone who

um who went up for this or someone who traveled into the area again all of those things are going to come out as it goes in i thank god by the way right now that it's been how long has it been it's been almost 90 minutes or so or two hours i think since the actual shots were fired so i'd like to pin down the timeline of that and uh and i'd really like to pin down if we can get the timeline of when that guy is talking about specifically that he saw somebody on the roof

what time that took place, what time the interview took place, what time the shots were fired. That'll give us a better sight picture into what exactly went down here. What you guys are seeing in here, and you can email us directly, freedom at charliekirk.com. This is unlike anything we've ever seen. Joe Biden is going to address the country tonight. And make no mistake that the Democrat Party and all of that, they have created the preconditions for this. They have been saying for quite some time that the...

that they want Donald Trump dead. Blake, what are you seeing right now? What are you looking at as Donald Trump evades an assassination attempt? Have people, have we shown anyone this, the Newsweek headline that just happened? MAGA responds with outrage after Donald Trump injured at Pennsylvania round. That's typical. That's typical Newsweek. Yeah. Leftists attempt to murder their enemies. Republicans pounce.

They're pouncing all over the place.

At this moment, no need for guests to comment. Again, this is just a reminder. I know we all know. Wow. They're doing everything they can to not tell the truth. That's actually what happened. Did they send out any notes like that in 2020 when they were torching cities? Be careful not to give any editorial comments that are too positive about these events. Can I point out one more thing, guys?

Look at all the people who stayed right there, right behind the president during all the chaos. I don't know if you guys have watched this video over and over. I know. Yes, they didn't move. They stood right by him, and there were guys right behind him, just locked in. There's one guy I'm looking at, white hat, red brim, that's kind of like my hat right now. He's zeroed in on the president right behind him, like,

Nothing else matters in the whole world than making sure that that band got up. You know, Joe Biden, this is a Joe Biden rally. It would have been utter chaos. People like jumping off stages and things like that. There's literally almost no one moved. They're all there. No one's even ducking or covering their heads. They're there. Wow. Wow. It's just...

Absolutely remarkable. And the left, how many times has the left, Jack, been monologuing political violence, political violence? Oh, remember, Andrew's not on the stream. That woman from MSNBC, are you really worried about Donald Trump rising political violence? They tried to kill him today. They tried to assassinate Donald Trump today. Dana Bash from MSNBC was like, are you really worried about how Donald Trump is bringing in political violence? Jack, yes.

Well, you know what else they're going to do is they're going to they're going to type. I guarantee you the left will try to use this to talk about gun violence. They'll try to say, oh, this is you know, this just shows why we shouldn't have guns. This is why we need more gun laws. They'll try to pivot it about that. And you could see they're already trying to say political violence. And they're they're what they're doing is they're using the neuro linguistic programming of.

referencing the political violence of January 6th. That's why they keep saying political violence, political violence, political violence. There never should be political violence. And all you have to say is, thank God he wasn't killed. Thank God he wasn't hurt. You know, wasn't seriously hurt. That is what you need to say. That's all you have to say.

But of course, they keep adding this extra little piece. They keep adding these extra little pieces. And you're going to see more and more of this come out as more radical Democrats get involved. Then they'll use it to call for gun control. They'll use it to call for confiscation. They'll use it to call for all of these things. The smarter ones out there won't be so bold about it. Your Josh Shapiro's, your Pete Buttigieg's. Those guys know how to play a little bit closer to the vest. But there's no question.

that they realize how bad of a situation this puts them in. That's why you're seeing a lot of the elected officials right now. And of course, Joe Biden's not out addressing anybody. Of course, no one's addressing anybody because people need to be calm right now. And I'm saying that publicly. I'm saying that personally. Everyone needs to be calm. Everybody needs to really look at the facts. We're going to get to the bottom of this.

Why did the Secret Service allow this to happen? How could this have happened in this day and age? That is key. We know that there are drones involved. We know that there are magnetometers. We know how many Secret Service agents are put out. The idea is, and Charlie, you've, and I can attest that Charlie has demonstrated

been banging the drum about this behind the scenes far more than you have in that interview. And I actually hadn't seen that interview, but I kind of remember when it was going around that you were getting hit for, you know, I saw these headlines attacking you about it. And this has been something that Charlie Kirk has been talking about for a long time behind the scenes, folks, that they are not taking their job seriously.

Let's go back to the elementary facts. Donald Trump was giving a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania. As he was giving a speech, a gunman who, by the way, the police of the Secret Service were given three to four minutes heads up based on front first line reports, three to four minute heads up. And the they

they say, hey, there's a gunman. There's a gunman. They did nothing. The gunman goes bang, bang, bang, bang. And Donald Trump is grazed. Now, grazed by a bullet or grazed by broken glass? We don't know. But it looks as if it very well could have been a bullet. And right as you hear the gunshot, he goes, boom, straight to his ear. Donald Trump is then brought to the ground by Secret Service. And he is brought off the stage and defiantly is pumping his fist and pumping his fist and pumping his fist.

not wanting to go, not wanting to leave. And Donald Trump is alive and well. Donald Trump continues to fight and he goes to, he's going to a local hospital just to get checked out for what apparently happened that glazed the side of his face.

OK, now the fallout, the media immediately has been calling this loud noises. The left is calling big for big time conspiracy theories. They're calling it staged. They're calling it fake. They're saying, why did you miss trending on Twitter is you had one job. They're saying the entire thing was fake. These are assassination deniers, as Tyler aptly put it. And Donald Trump and his movement is only stronger because of this.

You were not outraged when they tried to put him in prison. They made up crimes and they tried to indict him and take his business empire away from him. There is no stopping these people. There is no stopping them until we stop them at the ballot box. Can we put that up on screen, Ryan? The shooter was approximately 125 meters away, 400 feet from where Trump was standing, allegedly.

I don't know how true that is. If that is correct, how did they not sweep all those roofs? And Ryan, can we get a shorter, more condensed, condensed clip of the of the BBC interview, please, of the BBC interview? They have been calling him an authoritarian. They have been calling him a dictator. Snoop Dogg joked around about shooting Donald Trump. Kathy Griffin joked around about killing Donald Trump. They have been they've been saying this repeatedly.

They have been calling for the death of Trump and Democrats are now upset that the shooter missed. That is the main regret that we see from Democrats on Twitter right now. Jack, what are we seeing? What are we hearing?

You know, Charlie, of course, a lot of people are talking about the potential that this thing could have got around. The idea that, you know, the idea that this could have been someone, of course, we're seeing images, again, from the top of that roof of that building that are floating around. It looks like Secret Service members and local police responding. Again, none of this is confirmed yet. It's all coming in from people at the rally. We're also looking at the roofs that are about...

that are in the vicinity that I was just talking about. So, you know, conducting a little bit of that, just analysis from, again, Google Maps, looking at overhead imagery, trying to determine where, and there's a lot, there's certainly a lot of buildings in that area. There's a lot of buildings in that area. This is something where a potential sniper would have had a lot of opportunity to go into. But of

Of course, when you're in a situation like that, that means you have to have what's called overwatch. You need to maintain overwatch. You need to maintain that kind of dominance. You need to have a security posture where you're checking the roof of every building and you're going and rechecking them again and again and again. You're not getting complacent. You're not watching the rally. You're sitting there and you're scanning with your binoculars every single one of the roofs and you're making sure that all of your angles are protected.

this is basic security 101 this is sop when you've got a secret service detailee who's in a place like in an open air environment like this and it's all the way of course since jfk and since the events of hinkley jfk course being

reportedly or purportedly a sniper from the Dallas Book Repository, but I don't want to get into that right now. The idea being that when you're trying to conceal for a sniper, that's what you have to go for. And so you have to go into all those buildings, et cetera. I've been to so many events where they've gone through buildings like this. I've been in so many events where they do something indoors. Honestly, at this point, Charlie, I think

And let me ask you this question, Charlie. It's obviously somewhat of a political question, but it's also a it's also a security question. Do you think President Trump should continue holding outdoor rallies? All right. The answer is yes. But with proper protection, do we have Biden? Can we throw to Joe? Joe Biden right now is addressing the nation after an assassination attempt of Donald Trump. Do we have do we have Joe Biden? Are we able to throw to that? I know we're trying to get the stream here.

A source familiar with Trump's security detail tells the Federalist that the former and future president's detail has been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but he's been rebuffed time and time again by Biden's Department of Homeland Security. DHS, which oversees Secret Service protective detail, wasn't responsive to those requests for more resources, the source says.

Was the Biden regime behind this? This is a good question. Sean Davis asked the question, was the Biden regime behind the attack? I mean, we have no evidence of that. But was Joe Biden slow walking the protective assets? Probably. Absolutely. Absolutely. OK, once we have Joe Biden, let's throw to him as Donald Trump survives an assassination attempt.

Oh, Joe Biden is already off. All right, well, let's get the clip of it. We'll play it back. Joe Biden was probably saying, you know, this has no place in our country. I mean, it was his vice president that was shot, Jack. Oh, yeah. Took me a second there, Charlie. Yeah, I get what you're saying, right? It was his vice president, hopefully, you know,

Hopefully the president of Ukraine, President Putin, is still going to be okay this time. I'm getting some word that there actually were a lot of warnings coming from the advance team going into this. And supposedly that, so Charlie, what you're talking about there, this request for additional resources may have even come in as early or as late as this weekend,

that they were asking for increased additional resources for himself, but of course, that they were getting pushback from PPD and holding off on additional resources because Trump is not officially the nominee yet. And so there's a report now that I'm getting the Secret Service was not treating that Biden's Homeland Security Department, so Secret Service is under the Department of Homeland Security, that they were not giving him the full presidential detail because he's not officially the nominee yet.

Even though we all know he will be. Yeah, that's correct. We've been saying this for quite some time at how awful the U.S. Secret Service has become. But no one listens to us. But now Donald Trump was almost killed because of it. Yep. Yep. I mean, we've seen breakdowns many times. Many, many times. Including one time me walking straight up to the sitting vice president with absolutely no stoppage for hundreds of yards.

No questions. No, no, no bands. No, no pins. It's crazy. The Biden campaign right now, breaking news is pushing all pausing all outbound communications. We're going to pull down television ads as quickly as possible. Why do they want to pull down television? Would they do that? Well, by the way, that's also contradictory because Biden just came out and said he's not sure if it was an assassination attempt. Yeah. You know what it was, Joe Biden. This was the first assassination attempt where a bullet glazed

Glazed. You're saying the hand of God is not on Trump? Right there. Grazed. Sorry. Grazed. Charlie, remember Benny Thompson? Benny Thompson introduced legislation, what, a couple of months ago to strip Secret Service protection for convicted felons.

Benny Thompson, the leader of the Jan 6 committee, introduced legislation to try to strip President Trump of his Secret Service protection just three months ago.

Man, these people have been pushing for this for a long time. There needs to be this week after the convention. Speaker Johnson needs to bring everyone back into the House of Representatives immediately and needs to bring forward the entire U.S. Secret Service, including the people. Do we have the truncated? Let's play the BBC clip again. I think it's that good, guys. Don't you think? I think it's that powerful. It's it's someone that has a firsthand influence.

um is an eyewitness I want to play it again with mics open let's oh we have we have a shorter version uh let's play cut 40 please and we all decided hey you know when we hear Trump up there we're going to walk up through the field stand by the trees out there under the shade and watch the rain listen to the rally right we couldn't see him but we could hear him so we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking I'm estimating here I have no idea you know but um

We noticed a guy crawling, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us.

So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. And he had a gun, right? He had a rifle. We could clearly see him with a rifle. Absolutely. We're pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground. We're like, hey, man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle. And the police were like, huh, what? You know, like they didn't know what was going on. You know, we're like, hey, right here on the roof. We can see him from right here. We see him. You know, he's crawling. Right.

And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage? I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two or three minutes. Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this. And next thing you know, five shots ring out.

Is it I'm going to say this, by the way, I will say this just as a caveat. Is it possible that the guy the person that the guy saw was a Secret Service agent because he could be talking? He could be referring to someone. Well, he says, no, no, no, no. Go ahead. He said later on that the guy got his head blown off, the guy that they were pointing towards.

Correct. That's right. Get his head blown off. So he wasn't talking about a potential. Sorry, my audio is not great here. So he was saying that he saw someone climbing up bear crawling and then that guy also was shot later. And then again, this is the same. I'm just I'm just playing devil's advocate to make sure that we've got all this down, because there are a number of people also talking about, you know, other things. That's all I'm saying. OK, this is Tyler. What do you see him?

I've seen a lot of people within our activist ranks very concerned about where to go next. Our team actually here in Wisconsin, because we're preparing for the RNC convention this next week, we are doing ballot chasing training last week and this week, are feverishly planning a prayer vigil for tomorrow, which is the proper response, is we're going to get everybody together together.

talk about near the RSC convention, pray for America, pray for the president, and carve a pathway forward because this is maybe the Republican Party's greatest opportunity to shine in 100 years, which is look at what the left has become, and this is the plan of action moving forward to move the country forward and get us back on track.

And I hope that that's the positivity that can come from this. And hopefully we can contribute to that. Man, we need to now grow the Republican Party. He's defiant and brave. By the way, all the left, they say, oh, Donald Trump's never been in a fight before. A bullet glazes. Is it grazes? Graze. Graze. A bullet grazes Donald Trump. And he is defiant. Let's put those pictures back up. Let's put those pictures back up, guys.

Let's put that up right here. Right there. Wow. He took a bullet for you. Look at this one. Remember Madonna when she said she wanted to blow up the White House? Remember Johnny Depp? Remember Johnny Depp who said when was the last time an actor assassinated a president? Do you remember that? You remember when Snoop Dogg had the picture of him shooting Donald Trump?

Remember when Kathy Griffin had the cutout of, and by the way, this is how degenerate the media is. This one guy's been asking me for comment for this story. And literally he's like, hey, do you have comment about something unrelated? And I said, dude, Trump just got shot. I don't care about this seriously. And he's like, okay, fair enough. I said, you're worried about who's doing this certain thing. And hours after Trump got shot, this is why people hate you guys. The media couldn't care less. In fact, many people in the media are saying like, darn, wish that that bullet would have hit him.

The disgusting repulsive nature of the Democrat Party cannot be summarized or put into words. Let's go to cut 45. This is Biden's full statement. Based on what we know now, I have tried to get a hold of Donald. He's with his doctors. Apparently he's doing well. I plan on talking to him shortly, I hope, when I get back to the telephone. Look, there's no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick.

It's sick. It's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.

And so I want to thank the Secret Service and all the agencies, including the state agencies, that have been engaged in making sure that people, and we have more detail to come relative to other people maybe injured in the audience. I don't have all that detail. We'll make that available to you. I may be able to come back a little later tonight, but we'll put out a statement if we don't, if I'm not able to give it, if it's not convenient for you all. But the bottom line is,

The Trump rally is a rally that he should have been able to be conducted peacefully without any problem. But the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of. It's just not appropriate. Everybody, everybody must condemn it. Everybody.

I'll keep you informed, and if I'm able to speak to Donald, I'll let you know that as well. So far, it appears he's doing well, number one. Number two, that they're thoroughly investigating what happened to anyone else in the audience.

There's some reports, but not final reports. And every agency in the federal government, and I'm going back to my phone to speak with the federal agencies that are being put together again to give me an updated briefing. If anything happens, they learned more in the last couple hours. So thank you very much, and I hope I get to speak to them tonight, and I'll get back to you if I do. Mr. President, do you think this was an assassination? Do we have that?

I don't know enough. I have an opinion, but I don't have any facts. So I want to make sure we have all the facts before I make some comment. Any more comments? Thank you. First of all, it's Jack. He calls him Donald now. What is this all about? Calls him Donald. Joe Biden invited this for quite some time. We're all they're all buddy buddy right now. Because Joe Biden knows this could have. Go ahead.

Go ahead. No, you remember the speech in Philadelphia, the red, we have to stop MAGA extremists. We have to stop MAGA Republicans. We have to stop them. Nancy Pelosi running around saying we have to stop him no matter what. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

And now all of a sudden it's Donald. Now all of a sudden it's we've got it. Yeah, you got your assassin's bullet. You got your assassin's bullet that you've been memeing into being memeing into existence for years at this point. For years, you've wanted one of your people to take him out. For years, you wanted one of your guys to take him out because you couldn't beat him any other way. Your convictions went all went all down the drain. Your indictments went all down the drain.

Primary went all down the drain. The establishment couldn't beat him any other way. Now you've got a guy who's completely collapsing on the other side mentally. So what do you do? What do you do? It all comes down to this. And suddenly it's Donald. Oh, we're going to we're going to turn down the political temperature. We've been asking you to do that. Well, you want to turn down the political temperature. Let Steve Bannon out of jail. Let Peter Navarro out of jail right now. That's exactly right. You want to turn down the temperature. OK.

Turn it down. Turn it down. Go ahead. No, that's right. That's a great tweet. I'm stealing that as a tweet. Andrew, put a tweet. Joe Biden wants to turn down the political type of – I just said it. Drop all federal charges against Donald Trump. This is how Charlie tweets folks. No, I'm saying that. This is how Charlie tweets. I'm taking it from Jack. So –

What are we seeing here, Blake, right now? What is the latest? Donald Trump survives an assassination attempt. The media can't bring themselves to say it. The media is saying CNN, Trump shooting being investigated as an attempted assassination. They're finally there. By the way, even an anti-Trump family member of mine says that is so impressive how he reacted. That is truly remarkable. Honestly, a lot of people are dwelling on the reaction. Can we at least show the reaction clip or put that up there? The defiant fist to the sky.

And never surrender. We will never surrender. Wow.

You can almost you can understand a little bit why why the left would come up with these insane false flag theories, because Trump is so world class, practically unprecedented in his sense of presence, his ability to, like, master a moment that, of course, yes, someone trying to literally murder him. And he just gets four or five Pulitzer Prize worthy photos out of it.

And so they think, oh, it must have all been planned so he could do this. Nope. That's just how he is every time. He's a master of this sort of thing. And he's such a master, he's even able to do it right after someone attempts to murder him.

I mean, it's just who he is. It really is who he is. It's what he actually feels on the inside. And I think that people have been trying for years to paint this picture. Oh, he's, you know, what's the Maggie Haberman thing? He's a con artist. He's a con man. He's just trying to sell you something. And to be sure, he's a salesman. But he's also someone who deeply cares about what he's doing. He deeply cares about this country. And he's someone who doesn't back down from a fight. And he's someone who knows...

And he lives by one rule, never show weakness. When people were asking, why are you doing the debate, even though they gave you unfavorable conditions? He said, never show weakness. I will walk right in, whatever the situation is, I will not show weakness. You get shot, you get right back up. You try to get back to the microphone. You put your hand over your head and you say, fight, fight, fight.

fight. That's Donald Trump. That's always been the essence of Donald Trump. If he were not in politics, if he were back in business, whatever he was doing, that would still be the essence of who he is. That's just the man that he is. That's just who he is. He's instilled that in his children. It's inspiring to see. This is something where I had to tell my children. We were out at the pool just

out at the pool with my kids on a Saturday afternoon, and I had to explain to them why daddy had to run into work. And I had to explain to them that someone tried to shoot Donald Trump, and they asked if he was okay. They asked if it was a bad guy. I said yes. And we showed them the video because I'm not going to hide my children from the reality of the country, the reality of the situation that has been created for them. This is not the country I grew up in. It's not the country any of us grew up in. But if we want security,

to get back to that country, the only way out is through. And I'm not going to lie to my children and shield from them what's going on right now. I'm going to tell them the truth so they can understand why it is that we're doing what we're doing. I'm just reading all these headlines here. Even the media is starting to backpedal and calling it an assassination attempt. They're getting so ridiculed on Twitter. The weekend team, Blake, they got so ridiculed here that they thought, oh, you know, loud noise is what they said.

By the way, also going super viral eyewitness, we screamed for three minutes at the Secret Service and no one did anything that we screamed for three minutes. Speaker Johnson, you want to rewind the conservative base. I texted Speaker Johnson. You need to immediately have a Warren Commission Church and Pike style committee immediately and bring all the Secret Service in front of Congress that were responsible and that were there right now, right now.

OK, let's go to cut 47. This is Democrats. Hold on one sec. This is cut 47. This is Democrats calling for Trump's Secret Service protection to be taken away.

Good morning, Chairman. It is a pleasure to have you. The Washington Post headline screams, if Trump is convicted, Secret Service protection may be obstacle to imprisonment. I thank you for your legislation. I have been saying for some time that any former president or federal official who has this type of protection and some of the other benefits of being a member of a former member of office, all of that should go away.

Wow. All of that should go away. All of that. They want him dead. But guess what, Democrats? Guess what, you savages on MSNBC? Guess what, CNN? Donald Trump is alive and well, and our movement is bigger and more ascendant and stronger than ever. We will remember July the 13th. We will remember the day that Donald Trump

Had his face glazed by a bullet. He will literally take a bullet for you. He knew what he was getting into from we're going to take your business away. We're going to put you in prison. They have been calling for his death for quite some time. And he kept on fighting for you, Jack.

Charlie, just on that reaction, you look at President Trump's reaction there for a 78-year-old man given his age, defiant, gets right back up on his feet, pushes himself up from the ground, and even for a few moments is able to fight off the...

the Secret Service and attempt to push himself physically back to the microphone to keep the speech going. Imagine the reaction of, you know, someone in their 20s these days, like your average Zoomer, you know, in a situation like that where shots are fired at them. Imagine the reaction of someone who's, you know, even your average 78-year-old Joe Biden in a situation like that. I can't even think.

think of Joe Biden in a situation like that. He would collapse. He would absolutely collapse. But President Trump getting back up, doing what he did, I think is going to be something that is indelibly seared into the minds of every single person who sees these images. And by the way, this is something that around the world, every single world leader is taking a look at it. Because when you're a world leader, this is a daily occurrence for you. They just, I think it was, I

Slovakia, where Prime Minister Fito, he just had a shot taken at him. He also came, he just came back recently. Prime Minister Abe, former Prime Minister Abe of Japan, someone who was assassinated, someone who was very close with President Trump when they were both in office together, was assassinated. So when you're a world leader or you're at that level, this is something you're faced with every single day.

day every single breath you take could potentially come with this and so to get in this game i hope people are out there understand that to see someone so defiant even in the face of death itself is going to be something that no one's going to forget blake uh are you still with us blake here what are you seeing any um yes what any recent news here

So one of the reports we had a Newsweek person suggest that maybe Trump was actually hit by a shard of glass, in which case he would be correct, Charlie, that he would be getting glazed in that sense because that refers to glass. But I think what we're really seeing is...

The realization of just how perfidious the media is. I'm looking at a thread right now by a guy, a coddled affluent professional on Twitter, and it's just all the headlines where they spent years talking about how Donald Trump was a stochastic terrorist because he would give speeches that made liberals mad.

So, for example, we have from Mother Jones, Donald Trump, stochastic terrorist. He demonizes his foes and that makes them possible targets of violence. And then we have Vox, an atmosphere of violence, stochastic terror in American politics. They go on like this. Stochastic terrorism links between the GOP right wing influencers and neo Nazi violence.

And they put Michael Knowles on the cover and libs of TikTok because they're they're getting people killed, I guess. Donald Trump, Carrie Lake and others have invented a whole new kind of terrorism. That's from our friend E.J. Montoni at the Arizona Republic and just goes on and on like this.

And so this is what they did for years. They talked about, oh, Donald Trump gives speeches. And so he's stoking violence. Donald Trump never says the left or Hitler. He never says that they're like some unprecedented threat to our entire way of life, except in a purely political sense.

It is the left that does this. The left has gone around. They put Donald Trump on the cover of the New Republic with a Hitler mustache. They've been doing this for years on end. They're saying, this guy is Hitler. If he wins this election, there will never be another election. What do you do to Hitler?

Even Jeb Bush says he'd kill baby Hitler. So they do all of this stuff. They say all of these outrageous things. And then lo and behold, some wackadoodle takes it seriously. When you say he's Hitler, they actually believe it. And just the other day, we had Ezra Klein was tweeting that he was interviewing Democrat lawmakers about, you know, the push to get Biden out. And one of these Democrat lawmakers tells Ezra Klein behind the scenes, yeah, you know, like,

We all say, you know, Donald Trump's this threat to democracy thing, but I don't actually believe that. So, you know, I'm OK with letting Trump win the election if necessary. And so there were people who were saying Donald Trump dictator, Donald Trump, Hitler, Donald Trump, end of democracy, Donald Trump, end of America. They were saying this over and over and over again for purely political reasons. They were recklessly causing they were doing it.

They were doing exactly what they accuse us of doing. Shocker. They were pushing outrageous political rhetoric that stoked violence in order to accumulate more power to themselves. It's just absolutely despicable what they were doing. The reports are coming in here that Donald Trump, praise God, is doing well. And we should just say a prayer of thanks to the Lord. Can we replay the tape, Ryan? Or is that too graphic?

And just so you guys understand, there is a reporter, Ashley Nerva Big, who is a reporter from Seattle. She says, quote, make America aim again. Yeah, they're saying make America aim again. Couple. That's what the reporters are saying. Let's look. One sec. Check. One sec. I want to replay this just for the audience. If you haven't seen it, you got it. This is the Donald Trump assassination attempt. He's willing to take a bullet for you. And the bullet came two millimeters away.

from ending Donald Trump's life and with it our movement and the country would have been in a complete place of unknown. Just to say it would be in an uncertain place. An assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Play cut three. And then the worst president in the history of our country took over. And look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million people.

And, you know, that's a little bit old, that chart. That chart's a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something that's said, take a look at what happened.

Okay, we are watching live at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where former President Trump was speaking on the stage. Wow. I mean, you could watch that. I mean, that's... Those were not... We have not seen that since Ronald Reagan was shot exiting...

I think it was an event, some sort of event out the front door. We have not seen anything like this. Bill Clinton, H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Trump's first term, Joe Biden. This is the first that we have seen. And it is a disgrace to the U.S. Secret Service that they allowed this to happen. A complete disgrace. It is their only job. And Donald Trump could have moved his head a little bit differently and he would be a dead man right now. Donald Trump is alive thanks to the mercy and the goodness of the Lord.

Jack, I interrupted you. What's going on? No, Charlie, I was just going to mention. So two things, one observation, listening to that here over the audio. I mean, those are distinctive cracks. That is a rifle crack. That is not a handgun sound. So for the folks who were saying that this was someone on the inside. Now, look, getting a getting a handgun inside a Secret Service protectee rally, it's extremely

extremely hard to do. That's one of the reasons that we have trouble with the magnetometers, et cetera, beforehand anyway. So, you know, initially I kept saying that this outdoor rally, that your most likely scenario, also, by the way, if it's an outdoor rally, why wouldn't you try? If you were attempting an assassination, why wouldn't you try for a sniper shot rather than getting a handgun in? That would just be dumb.

And so the idea that we're hearing those sounds, that is a distinctive rifle crack. The other thing that I want to point out though, was that there were a couple of years ago where myself and actually Laura Loomer, we attended a play in Central Park of New York City

It was a performance of Julius Caesar, but it was a specific performance of Julius Caesar where it was being depicted as President Trump. His wife, Melania, was very obviously depicted as the wife. And they were ritualistically stabbing him to death on stage every single night there in Central Park. And what did we do? Well, we decided to disrupt the entire thing.

and said that you were normalizing political violence. And I remember Charlie sitting in that audience, you know, so they, the way the play works is that they stab him right at the end of act one, so basically right before intermission,

And I never did get to see the end of it because I was asked to leave. And I remember as they were stabbing Trump, this actor portraying Trump, and the blood was coming out. This was not, by the way, you know, like in the old 40s movies when they did Julius Caesar. This was like Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained level blood, Reservoir Dogs level blood coming out. The entire stage was drenched, absolutely drenched in blood.

And the people around me, Charlie, were cheering. They were laughing. This is a New York City audience. We're laughing. They were cheering. They thought it was wonderful. And so the main reason that we went up there in 2017 to storm that stage, to disrupt the play, the performance that was going on, was because we wanted to.

to stop the normalization of political violence in America. And oh, by the way, that was just a few days after the Steve Scalise shooting, which again is a shooting that the left and the media will never bring up because James T. Hodgkinson drove all the way, halfway across the country with an AK-47 and shot up a congressional baseball practice because he thought that all the Republicans

or Russian agents after watching too much Rachel Maddow. Again, this is done again and again and again to Republicans, and yet we will only ever hear the right being called the violent ones. They will only act as if political violence only comes from the right. They are terrified. By the way, we've seen the FBI cover this up time and time again when there's political violence to someone who's on the right or political violence by someone on the

the left, they will not report it. You've seen this again in a number of other of those organizations that put together stories like statistics like this. And I'm sure Blake has all that at the ready that if you could probably do a whole whole thought crime episode on the fact that they will not report left wing violence and work very hard to cover the statistics. Well, you know what? You're not going to be able to cover this up because everyone in the entire world has seen this video at this point.

Donald Trump is already getting shout outs at the UFC broadcast after the assassination attempt. Play cut 51. Hey, I heard they just tried to whack my boy Trump. I'm glad that man's okay. Long live Trump. Let's go, baby. Trump 2024. This is going to create the only way we react is we swarm it in the fall. You remember this, everybody. They fear Donald Trump so much that they are trying to literally murder him.

Blake, do you want to walk through these pictures here? Sure. Is this number, what do we got here? It's 39. 39? So we're getting, we have some photos here that we actually can, it just helps to visualize about how far away it was. Unfortunately, there's no labeling on this one. Do we have the one that has the red writing on it, guys? No.

Well, that's got – so if you look at the red pushpin on the roof there, you can see that's the roof where people suspect the shooter to have been. The blue pushpin is approximately the site of where Trump was standing. Okay, okay. It's just very tiny on this one. There's one with more writing on it. Okay, yeah. You can see here –

It's a, I think the estimated distance they're saying is about 125 yards or 125 meters. So that would be a little bit longer than a football field with the end zones. So if you want to get that idea, imagine that's definitely within range, uh,

where a person who's experienced using a gun could hit someone just using iron sights. It'd be even easier if they had some sort of scope. I'm sure we'll learn a lot more about what the shooter's kit was. It would be too far away to easily hit anyone with, like, a handgun, but according to the reports, it was with a rifle. According to that interview, the guy was bear-crawling along the roof. You can see the roof is...

Quite large, pretty big. It's also by far the closest building complex to the actual site of the event besides those kind of pavilion things right behind where Trump would be.

And in spite of all that, the Secret Service allowed the Secret Service and local police allowed a guy with a gun to apparently bear crawl for several minutes up to where he was able to get a shot off on a presidential candidate. I think at a minimum, some someone's head needs to roll for this. I feel like it should be.

A good principle would probably be that if you are the head of a detail and a president or presidential candidate is injured in any way, that you probably should just sort of, in the Japanese way, fall on your sword as a matter of principle. Not literally, but, you know, that should cost you your job as a general rule. That would improve accountability.

We'll learn a lot. A lot of it's baffling and upsetting that they would allow this to happen. That said, we're already seeing a lot of chatter about, you know, conspiracy, this conspiracy that I'm seeing some people say like, wow, it's really convenient that they, you know, they killed the shooter. So he couldn't talk. Yes, you should. You should shoot and shoot to kill with someone who is attempting to assassinate.

assassinate a president or presidential candidate. Sorry, guys. I think it's a good thing that this guy got before he could go to prison and then be let out 40 years from now. As far as we know. Yeah, before some Democrat pardons him because he's a changed man. Or he gets to go... Remember, Hinckley just got to go to a lunatic asylum because they're like, oh, he...

He was really into Jodie Foster. No, he's out. Yeah, now he's out. Now he's out. But he never even... He does like... He's a singer-songwriter. He's out now, but he was just in, you know, a loony bin before that. He wasn't in, I believe, like prison prison as a result.

And Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social. I want to thank the United States Secret Service and all of law enforcement for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredibly it is incredible that such an act can take place in our country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter who is now dead.

I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. You hear that, NBC? I knew immediately something was wrong. And then I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place. So I realized then what was happening. God bless America. Whoa. Holy cow. Let me read that again. Nothing is known about the shooter. No, this is now confirmed. This is straight from President Trump. This is confirmed now. I'm going to read this again.

I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that. I heard a whizzing sound shots and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place. So I realized then what was happening. Jack, your reaction. You know, it's, it's, it's interesting by the way, because, uh,

I'm reminded of Teddy Roosevelt's reaction when he was shot in and...

I got to say it, Charlie, I'm sorry to have to be the one to say this, but when Teddy Roosevelt was shot while giving a speech, it was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And he was shot with a .38. It was also grazed in a sense because it didn't hit any major organs. And he realized himself that even though there was bleeding, because of the fact that he was not bleeding from his mouth, Teddy Roosevelt, of course, being an avid hunter, realized immediately

correctly and assessed correctly that it did not penetrate his lung because he was again not bleeding from the mouth. It was actually correct. He was able to finish the speech in that instance. This is before, of course, the modern advent of Secret Service the way we have it today.

Teddy Roosevelt, of course, someone who had been who came into office after a presidential assassination. His predecessor, William McKinley, killed during, you know, during an event in 1901. Also, I have to go. I've got I've got someone calling me for who was actually at the event. Give me one sec, guys. While we wait for him, let's put up number 55. This was just uploaded by Haraz Ganbari. It looks like it's legit.

He's at least saying it was shot by former White House press corps colleague Doug Mills. Doug Mills is a real photographer, I believe, but I don't know. He's Trump's favorite photographer. Yep. So we'll see if it's true, but it is...

If you look at it, if you zoom, you can see it appears to be some sort of, you know, it's stretched out because it's moving so fast, but it's allegedly or reportedly the bullet flying through the air right up. It looks like that's probably it already passing past his ear by the looks of it. We'll find out if this is true, but one of the most crazy photos of all time, if it is real, I imagine we'll find that out soon enough.

And that means that some spectators were killed in this. Geez. Imagine you go to a Trump rally and you die. And like the person next to you passes away. This is the left. They've called for this for quite some time. They have been calling it for some time. They want Donald Trump dead. They want all of us dead. Look, we all get death threats. I get death threats every single day. One of these people made good on one of those death threats. Tried to today.

And this is now being investigated by an assassination attempt. And of course it is. We know that we've knew that since the beginning, but the media refused to cover it. Let's go to CNN.com. What are they saying? Trump shooting being investigated as an assassination attempt. Okay. Let's see what Drudge Report says. Trump fine after assassination attempt. Raises fist. Fight, fight, fight. Unbelievable. Trump wanted to keep on speaking. He wanted to keep on. That one picture where he's fighting back his Secret Service agents.

Oh, the FBI personnel are on the scene in Butler, Pennsylvania. Hey, here's just an interesting question for you guys. Maybe if, Jack, maybe if the FBI spent more time looking into potential shooters of Donald Trump and less time looking into moms and dads going to school board meetings and less time trying to infiltrate Latin mass and less time trying to put

Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in federal prison. They could have prevented this from happening. Here's a question. Will this get more agents than the 13 agents that they sent to investigate that garage pull at a NASCAR race in 2020? That's right. That's right. That is. Yeah.

Yeah, that was the Bubba Wallace thing. I'm still working with getting Brick on, by the way. Guys, just send me the tech info and I'll get it to him. But I'm here, he's like on speaker, but I've got it muted. No, this is a situation where it's very clear. It's very clear. We know that this is a candidate who, unlike any other candidate in American history, has received a historic amount of

presidential threats, credible threats to him. There are always threats going on with President Trump. There are always targeted plots against him that are being disrupted. We know that's why he carries such a heavy motorcade the way that he does. And of course, we know that Merrick Garland and his DOJ and the FBI have not been going in the way that they have

now. And secret service has been inundated, inundated, uh, at least his own detail because they're not directly, uh, they don't have enough resources and the capacity to be able to respond as much as they currently do because they haven't given him the full presidential detail yet based on this completely ridiculous notion, which, which Biden, by the way, Biden could have given president Trump, uh, he could have authorized the detail, uh,

months ago. We knew that Trump was already the presumptive nominee on the night of Iowa. OK, so he could have authorized it then. This idea, by the way, also that Biden can't just pardon Steve Bannon. OK, so if you want to decrease the political rhetoric, you want to turn down the violence, Joe Biden, you could pardon Steve Bannon in five minutes. You could pardon Peter Navarro right now. There's so many people you could pardon. You could walk over to the DOJ and say, you know what, we're going to drop these cases against the nonviolent Jan Sixers.

and the religious women who were just praying there. There's so many things that Joe Biden could do immediately to settle this down. But of course, he's not going to do any of them. But I'll challenge him. President Biden, will you pardon Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and the Jay Sixers? If you want to be a man of your word, if you don't want to be a liar, then be the first man to make the first move and sign those pardons immediately. Give me a sec, guys. I'm working on getting a break suit here.

No worries. Blake, so it is now confirmed, bullet to the head. By the way, the fragment theory that it hit teleprompters has now been debunked. We now, 56 put that up. None of the teleprompters were hit. We're talking about millimeters. We are talking about millimeters. Millimeters of Trump being killed. That is close enough. In the open air.

The amount he missed by, and keep in mind, if it went through his ear like that, his elevation was dead on. The guy got it exactly right how much the bullet would drop. We are talking the drift caused by the wind. If there was a slight gust of wind, even a little bit, it would make it miss by a tiny portion. That's how close we're talking.

And the Secret Service did absolutely nothing when they were warned by that one gentleman. Well, so that guy was on their hands. I think he was saying he was saying local police is who he was flagging because they were outside the event. So I don't want to say this. I don't want us to say the Secret Service. Secret Service usually does a perimeter of thousands of yards. I don't I don't understand this at all. I don't know the thing. But in the interview he's talking about, he's he's saying that they were flagging police, police, not Secret Service.

I believe so. Charlie, we've hosted Trump more than any other organization, I think, in America, outside organization other than his own. And the protocol that Secret Service takes, we know pretty intimately at this point. And the amount of perimeter that they give, all access points, you know, and by the way, I just wanted to point this out. This was brought up earlier by Jack, I think.

This is one of the reasons why we prefer to do indoor events at Turning Point when we host the president. We pay a lot of money, extra money, for doing indoor venues and things like that at the convention centers. But they do the perimeter, and when it's outdoor, they have to go even beyond indoor.

Because you don't have walls, you don't have a roof, you don't have all of those things. And so this is a total breakdown of whatever protocol is. It has to be. There is supposed to be people stationed at every possible entry point to get into the space where a shot like this could be taken. And it is 100% on the shoulders of Secret Service.

And I want to play another piece of tape here, though, that we have. This is all unfolding in real time. Let's see. I want to replay cut. This is just so hard for us to even grasp this. I want to play the shorter cut of the BBC guy again, because this is going very, very viral. Which one is that? Trying to find this one here. Let's play cut 40, please. And we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're going to walk up through the field.

stand by the trees out there under the shade and watch the rain listen to the rally right we couldn't see them but we could hear them so we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of trump speaking i'm estimating here i have no idea you know but um we noticed the guy crawling arming you know bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us 50 50 feet away from us

So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. And he had a gun, right? He had a rifle. We could clearly see him with a rifle. Absolutely. We're pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground. We're like, "Hey, man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle." And the police were like, "Huh? What?" You know, like they didn't know what was going on. You know, we're like, "Hey, right here on the roof. We can see him from right here. We see him. You know, he's crawling."

And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage? I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two or three minutes. Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this. And next thing you know, five shots rang out. Wow. Next thing you know, five shots rang out. I mean, I just keep watching that video and it's hard to even grasp. Tyler, your reaction?

Yeah, I mean, I still just with the perimeters that are set by Secret Service. And again, this is this is Secret Service's job is to make sure that the police are where they need to be. They work with the proper agencies to make sure that the venues covered appropriately. They're in charge. Right. So the police defer to Secret Service, making sure that all access points are covered.

I just, as a person that runs some of these events, I mean, Charlie, you've been intimately involved with these events that we run. Our team, like Lauren on our team, can tell you all day, it is an exhausting week-long plus process of covering every single base. And so I just, in my mind, I just, I cannot fathom how they...

and allow somebody get to get in with a rifle that was within that type of shooting distance. It just doesn't make any kind of sense from a scout, from a site scouting perspective that, that, I mean, that's what they look for. They look for the specific places where a danger like that could exist. I just can't believe it. I got, I'm astounded by the entire set of circumstances that obviously are going to, we're going to unpack probably over the next days. I mean,

This is, I just got to say it, right? You know, this was the closest possible building. That was the, if we can get that picture up again, showing or, you know, either of the photos that we have up showing the distance that we're talking about, you're talking about a spot that is the prime location for a sniper's nest. This is the closest possible.

building to where your Secret Service detailee was, there's no question that you should have had eyes on that building for the entire duration of the event. You're not watching the rally. You've got somebody not looking around. You're on that building. You're paying attention to that roof and that roof in particular. You're going to be checking out other buildings, but you need to be looking at that. It is the closest possible building. It's unbelievable to me that someone was able to get up there and do this. And Jack and Charlie, like for me,

Again, to Jack's point, this is the closest possible place here. You're looking at this location because it looks like that building is raised above whatever that smaller building is that's down there. So you're looking at this. This is the only real building that's nearby. And they don't have that totally cleared? Yeah.

How is there not? I mean, we live in this is 2024. How are there not cameras everywhere? I mean, are they not putting I just don't you know, and I don't know the intricacies of an outdoor event and purchase like that, what they do to make sure that everything is has eyes on it. My assumption would be is there, you know, between drone technology or every roof.

You're clearing every roof. You have eyes on every roof full time. You have people at HQ that are watching everything. I just don't get it. It's mind-blowing to me, mind-boggling. A Democrat Tennessee senator has said, while I'm praying for President Trump and hope he makes full recovery, the extremism from the MAGA regime has brought us to this moment. Oh, we're to blame for this. You see that? We are to blame for this. That's their entire plot, Charlie. That is a Democrat senator. Of course, of course.

This is we were millimeters away from this country going into turmoil. Let's just let's just say this straight. Praise God that for Donald Trump's sake, for our movement's sake, for our country's sake. Jack, what would we be doing if Donald Trump was shot and killed today?

Jack. Well, so there'd be a... It's not speculation. That is worth playing around with. There's two tracks. There's two tracks. So the first track would be that, of course, there'd be a legal track as, and obviously Tyra would know more about this, there'd be a convention process to determine, it would probably be an open convention to determine who the new nominee would be.

I believe since Nikki Haley has released her delegates that it would just go to a floor vote and you would have people who would come up. You obviously hear similar to kind of what you're hearing about the Democrat side right now. They'd be having those discussions. But more importantly, we'd be here on this stream talking about mourning and we'd be warning people to not protest.

respond in the way that the media wants you to respond. And I would put that warning out yet again, that this is a time where we can all come together. We can say we want a country to go forward. We want a president who's going to work. We want a president who is literally willing to stare death in the face and be defiant in response to a president who, I'm just going to say it, a president who is protected

by the hand of God today. Donald Trump was protected by the hand of God to make that bullet miss him completely and only graze his ear. There's no other reason that you can talk. You're never going to convince me that that's not what happened today. You're never going to convince me that something else happened. But more importantly, Charlie, like you said,

you would have people that would be very, very, very, very angry. And that anger would resort into chaos. It would become absolute chaos in this country. You'd see reprisals. You'd see responses. You would see mass chaos in this country if that bullet had only gone just a few millimeters to the right. Well, Jack, on that topic of the chaos, I couldn't help but think about this week with the RNC convention ahead of us.

You know, and, you know, the random act of violence that this could be with targeting is possible. We also have to take into consideration that this is a planned attack.

elevate here to cause chaos. And I just think with as close as we are to the RNC convention, that, you know, heaven forbid, this was a planned act to cause absolute, utter chaotic turmoil ahead of the RNC convention. Because look, if you, if this happened after the RNC convention, it's a little bit of a different process.

But happening before the RNC convention, and let's just say the what if, right, the worst case scenario would have happened today, it would have been absolute utter chaos here at the Republican National Committee all week long. Utter chaos. I mean, I can't even begin to tell you what type of infighting and insanity and turmoil and heartbreak and heartache that it would have caused here at this convention in Milwaukee. So...

You know, who knows what the intent was here, but the fact that this was attempted right before the RNC convention is certainly really suspect. This is a day that we will all remember, July 13th, 2024, where Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. Bobby Kennedy didn't survive. JFK didn't survive. MLK, very similar outdoor type thing, didn't survive. Bobby Kennedy killed outdoors. JFK killed outdoors.

Malcolm X did not survive. Donald Trump survived by two millimeters. To put that in perspective, at the estimated 150 meters of the angle adjustment, the shooter needed to move the bullet one centimeter to the right, 0.0038 degrees. By 0.0038 degrees, Donald Trump is alive. Blake, this is the first...

Near assassination that we have seen in our lifetime. Give us the historical significance here. The Secret Service prided themselves on for years. They used to brag. Oh, yeah, they used to shoot Reagan, but not we are now locked down. We don't let that happen anymore. Yeah, it used to be. What happened with the Secret Service? It used to be. I don't want to say easy, but.

You know, the president was an exposed person, obviously. So four U.S. presidents have been killed. Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, JFK. I think JFK was the first one since they really standardized the Secret Service protecting a president like that. But there have been a lot of other attempts. There were several attempts on FDR. There were several attempts on Truman. There was an attempt on Gerald Ford.

I think the one on Truman is one of the ones that came closest, like someone was actually killed in it. And then, of course, there was the attempt on Reagan. And so we had had by far the longest, really the longest period in our history, a full 40 years, without a serious, dangerous attempt on the president's life that reached the point where the president was hit. Or I guess I shouldn't say Donald Trump was not the president currently. But on a major candidate's life like this, we haven't had...

And something like this happened with someone protected by the Secret Service. So they have had a good track record. I guess you could say they could be proud of it, given the amount of attention, given the number of wackadoodles who would like to do that sort of thing. They've been pretty good, but they aren't perfect. And there are warning signs that they've been getting worse that we mentioned at the start of the stream. And we may as well mention it again.

There have been allegations of the Biden administration politicizing the Secret Service a bit. They've imposed diversity quotas on the Secret Service. There have been bizarre reports. Someone on the Secret Service detail recently had a mental breakdown that forced her to be removed in the middle of a workday because she was freaking out. And so there are these warning signs that the Secret Service might not be the organization that it once was. And

I think it might be a jump to jump. We might be racing ahead of ourselves if we say that's what directly caused what happened here today. But there have been warning signs that the Secret Service might be in a state of decline somewhat. And then you wrote you combine that with years on end of the media, of the Democrat Party, of the Biden administration itself really.

egging on this fanatical hatred of Donald Trump, this frenzy, these frenzy takes on him, calling him a dictator, calling him Hitler, calling him the next Hitler, encouraging people to think this guy is going to do another Holocaust and then to turn around when someone actually takes you seriously and say there's no place for violence in American politics. It's outrageous and indefensible that they let this happen and it's unfortunate that

The Secret Service almost allowed the leading presidential candidate, the person who is the odds-on favorite to be the next president of the United States. They nearly, a gust of wind made the difference in whether he died or not today. A gust of wind. That is perfectly said, Blake. I want to play a piece of tape here that we have that I want to remind everyone. An innocent woman was shot and killed at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. She was right behind Donald Trump.

She woke up this morning to support Trump and got great tickets and she got killed. This has now been a confirmed picture, 55 up. That right there is the bullet that hit Donald Trump's ear. This guy was a good shot. Whoever he was, probably former military. Trump had had tears of blood, said stay strong following assassination attempt. A first row witness.

describes what happened. Let's get this is Dasha Burns. She asked, this is the same reporter, by the way, that asked me if I'm worried about right wing violence. Same reporter. I was directly in front of Trump, my seat. I was looking him in the eye. We heard the pops, maybe three minutes into the rally, three to four minutes. I heard four pops, pop, pop, pop before secret service immediately jumped on the stage. And we saw him push president Trump to the ground.

Then the gentlemen that have the guns came up to start clear right, clear left. They said, get him up. So they lifted him up. And Trump said, I got to get my shoes on first. His shoes must have come off when they dropped him down to the ground. The first thing he said is we could all hear this. I have to get my shoes on first. When he stood up, I'm looking at him forward. I see the red teardrop right out of his blood, fresh red blood, just a little tear, teardrop. I'm sorry.

That's when they got him up and they turned him. I could see the blood from the top of the ear to the bottom. Wasn't gushing, but it was covered. And then he put the fist bump up, stay strong, and they walked him off. Do we have that cut here? We're getting it right now. This is a lot to process, everybody watching. I'm sorry. This is, we really don't have, there's not always words for this. Yes, Tyler. I was just going to say, I was talking to Lauren, who's busy getting ready, coming to Milwaukee for our big events here.

When we've done events like we did, we've done the big Trump rally at Dream City Church. It has a huge mountain behind it. The protocol that we're aware of with Secret Service is they have to station their guys and snipers, guys with guns, on the tallest point around the venue. So all the tallest points around the venue, certainly within –

within distance of someone that could shoot, that's where they're stationed permanently. And so if you know where we've held that event, and Charlie, you know it well because the mountains right there behind the church, and this is an indoor facility, by the way, they're there all day long, and they were there in 115-degree heat all day long. It's still so confusing to me how one of the tallest points that's nearest to the venue didn't have anyone up there. I just don't get it.

It's mind-blowing to our team. Play cut 59, please. Aaron, first of all, are you okay? How are you feeling? I'm okay. I was in the first row. I was directly in front of Trump, my seat. I was looking him in the eye. We heard the pops maybe three minutes into the rally, three to four minutes. I heard four pops, pop, pop, pop. The four Secret Service immediately jumped on the stage, and we saw him push President Trump to the ground.

Then the gentleman that had the guns came up to start clear, clear right, clear left. They said, get him up. So they lifted him up. And Trump said, I got to get my shoes on first. Did his shoes come off? His shoes must have. We couldn't see it underneath that. But his shoes must have come off when they dropped him down to the ground. First thing he said, we could all hear it. I have to get my shoes on first. And when he stood up, I'm looking at him forward. I see the red tear drop right here of blood, fresh red blood, just a little tear.

Then when they got him up and they turned him, I could see the blood from the top of the ear to the bottom. Wasn't gushing, but it was covered. And then he put the fist bump up, stay strong, and they walked him off. A beautiful email from John. It makes you emotional. The Holy Spirit is often associated with gusts of wind. Something to think about, right, Blake? Yeah. Gusts of wind. Is that part of Pentecost? There's like the loud, it's like,

What happens during the Pentecost? There's the tongues of fire, the gusts of wind. The tongues of fire, yeah. And then like, I think a loud sound or something like that. John 20, 22. God's spirit may enter us like a strong gust of wind filling the entire house of our being where the spirit comes as quietly or as gently as breath. We heard in Receive the Holy Spirit, John 20, 2022. John 20, 22, I should say. Wow.

And then Blake's like, want to read that verse there? And then this is from the second chapter of Acts of the Apostles. This is the famous, the start of the famous Pentecost story. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. Blake, you want to continue on the, not just the historical significance, but I hate to even think politically here, but like,

This is a moment that's hard to even understand. And praise God, we were millimeters away from this country going into turmoil. Blake? I mean, there's a line you'll sometimes hear with people online. The joke they'll tell is nothing ever happens because it does feel – if you read a summary of events in –

the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, that there was this endless array of just earth-shaking world events. And of course, we had COVID, but other than COVID, it does feel less stuff happens in the world. And this was a reminder, I think, of how quickly that can change. And we're fortunate that it didn't change a lot more. You imagine that bullet, it's a few millimeters over, and we're here tonight,

And we're saying Donald Trump, the most important person in American politics for the past 10 years, is dead, struck down by an assassin's bullet, egged on by his enemies from their years of outrage. And then how would we react to that? Who would be the nominee? Who would take up his cause? What would happen to that cause? It would totally shatter to bits everything about American politics. Would there be widespread political violence after it? Would it egg on the whole...

That dark Civil War rhetoric you hear some people use. And we're very lucky that that didn't happen. But we came very, very, very close to it happening. And we should count ourselves lucky for that. We could be in a very, very dark episode of American history if things had gone a little bit differently today. And I think the reaction you can see from people all over America that...

It really shows their connection to Trump, how much he means to them, that they're praying for him, how they see him as a champion for everything they believe in. And I think you will see all of that grow in the days to come. I think it'll be an incredible visual the first time Trump gives another speech. We'll have to see. Maybe he'll be speaking again. I assume he probably has a rally scheduled for Monday, right? He'll probably still do that. Maybe he even has one tomorrow. Well,

It's not a rally, Blake. We have a convention. We have a convention, but I think he's still... He doesn't speak until Thursday. That'll, of course, be an incredible sight. We're all looking forward to that. There was some reporting going out that President Trump might actually have been... I mean, I imagine a lot of this is going to change now, but there was some reporting that he might actually name the VP nominee on Monday publicly, so...

something where he would actually be addressing multiple. And by the way, I'll just say this, I'll say this, you know, and I'm not, you know, saying this with any one individual in mind, but President Trump, when he talked about his VP pick,

He always talked about the fact that it needs to be someone. And I said this on I was hosting a war room this morning. And he always says that it needs to be someone not just who looks good on the ticket, but someone who could do the job if something were to happen. He always said and Charlie, you know, you can back me up. You've you've you've reported this as well, that President Trump has always said it needs to be someone who can do the job if something should happen. Something happened today.

This is 60 B-roll here. This is Donald Trump leaving the hospital. And so I imagine that he's all right. And you can imagine they got every police officer on the planet protecting him right now. I agree completely with Elon Musk. Elon Musk responded to Jack Posobiec, extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the Secret Service leadership must resign.

Yeah, look, it wouldn't surprise me if the Secret Service who hates. Yeah, no, he responded to your tweet. It wouldn't surprise me since the Secret Service hates Donald Trump so much. They kind of like, oh, we don't need to protect the roof, whatever. We don't need to protect the roof. Not a big deal. And it makes you wonder they need to be hauled in front of Congress immediately. This is a public humiliation. We know our nation is in decline. And the man who's trying to bring us back from decline is not able to be protected by the United States Secret Service.

Which, by the way, Elon is someone who is in these situations himself. Being the richest man in the world, he's obviously also someone who's a target, who's at risk for many of these. And I just know from...

People who have told me, I've not met him personally, I've spoken to him on X basis, that type of thing. But people have told me that he's very security minded. It's something he does think about a lot, obviously. And think about it, by the way, when you're someone who's in Elon Musk's position and Donald Trump's position as well, honestly, the threat of kidnapping for one of your children becomes quite large.

And as we know, Elon's got a lot of kids out there. They're not always with him 24/7. So that's something that he takes a lot of seriousness about at any given time, especially if he's going to be at a rally or launching one of his products, a lot of these events.

are huge, massive in-person events. They're promoted in advance. So security is always, again, someone, every world leader, high-level businessmen like Elon and others, Peter Thiel comes to mind, Jeff Bezos, et cetera, Bill Gates, George Soros. These are all people who are going to have to take security very seriously just because of the level that they're at, politics notwithstanding is what I'm talking about.

And so, you know, the question that you would have a lapse of security like this is major. You know, I'd love to see President Trump get get Eric Prince hired or something to be able to run his personal security in concert with the Secret Service after this, because there's no question. There's no question a massive, massive resignation needs to take place and an investigation. We're looking at potential criminal negligence.

here criminal negligence on the level of the secret service on and the fact that they would allow again this was not some freak accident this was the closest building to where the speaker was and tyler just went through it i went through it before and i said it's it's it's inexplicable to me i've been to so many events where they're supposed to be watching the buildings there's no and i i called in a real america's voice within minutes i think 25 minutes after and that's what i said

Jack, they're supposed to be on the buildings. Yeah, they're supposed to be on the top of the buildings. They're supposed to be on the buildings, not watching the buildings. You should be there. You should be on the top of that building. Why wouldn't they be on the buildings? But why wouldn't you clear every single roof? I don't understand. And by the way, about 10 seconds before...

The way, what Tyler's saying is that you have counter sniper batteries. So a counter sniper battery is that when you know that you understand that there's going to be an outdoor event, obviously the rally was planned in advance. So you've got advanced teams of Secret Service that are working there. You say, okay, where would the most likely

like if I were going to take a shot at the principal, at Trump or anyone else who's speaking at this rally, if I were gonna take a shot, then where would I go? Then, okay, this building would be the most obvious spot. It is the closest building. It has a clear vantage point, et cetera, et cetera. Then you plant your counter sniper team on that building.

You're not just supposed to be watching that building. You physically control the building and you don't let control until the very last. You are the very last person to leave from the event. You never leave there. Why was there not a Secret Service counter sniper team on that building for the duration of this rally? Well, I mean, it makes you wonder, right? Makes you wonder that according to Elon Musk, was it intentional? We don't know. I mean, they've been calling for the death of Donald Trump for quite some time.

And they just obviously didn't do their job. This is a great embarrassment to the United States Secret Service. Yes, Tyler. Yeah, Charlie. I mean, Charlie, your point is exactly right. There should have been someone there on top of the buildings. And if not in that very specific spot on the building, there should have been somebody else at a higher point that could have easily and should have easily seen that person. So it is...

This is a huge breakdown. And I'll just remind everybody that's listening. When we do our events, we've done them in Phoenix. It's been 115 degrees outside. They've sat out there all day long at the highest point, you know, with the countermeasures that are up there, the snipers that are on top of the mountain and just baking in the heat all day long. So this is, it's just begging the question, where was everybody? Where were they at? It's just mind blowing, mind boggling.

We can't figure it out. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com. Thanks so much for listening and God bless. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliekirk.com.
