All right. So this is insane. I actually I'm not kidding. When I when I saw the news beginning to trend that there were shots fired near Trump, I said, no way. My instinct was just to go. No way. Fake news. I'm not going to retweet this. I'm not going to share it because I thought it was one of these. It was it was a trap. And they wanted conservatives to all start sharing it and be dramatic and say it's another assassination attempt, offer them to be like, oh, no, it was just a shooting nearby Trump.

And I kept refreshing and some people were like, yes, well, Trump was near the shooting, but he wasn't involved in it. I just said, no way, I'm not going to share this. I also, in the back of my mind, said there's no way that we just did this episode on Friday where I signaled to the public that Trump was in danger. In fact, the...

episode was entitled Trump's campaign is in danger. And I talked about the last assassination attempt having been 62 days ago, which they have conveniently memory holds, which has made me suddenly recognize that these people are going to try to kill him again. They are not going to allow Donald Trump to be president. There's no way. It's very obvious what these people want. These people want war and Donald Trump is not the man for it. So I said, I said, I'm

It just couldn't be that I did this episode on Friday and fast forward to Sunday and someone actually took another attempt on this man's life. And then I just thought it's just not plausible that they would be this brazen, that again in broad daylight, they would try to shoot at Donald Trump.

But guess what, guys? I was wrong. That is exactly what happened this time on a golf course. I'm going to give you all of the details, plus tell you what my suspicion is that you're not going to hear on the mainstream media because they're all so highbrow. Oh, we can't dabble into conspiracy unless it's about Iran. Let's all just put out there ahead of time that it's Iran, which unbelievably neocons are already doing. Has me super fired up. That's what we have coming up on Candace.

All right, so let's just start with the details here. In case you didn't know, President Trump owns a golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, and he was golfing there today. He had planned to golf with his buddy, a billionaire, raised a ton of money for him, named Steve Witkoff.

the fifth hole, so the story goes, four shots rang out. Our understanding right now is that those shots were actually fired from Trump's Secret Service team who spotted a man with a gun in the clearing, saw a man actually lining up a shot with a scope,

on Donald Trump. They jumped on Trump to secure the area. And I'm going to actually kick it here to Sean Hannity, who was pretty lucky because he was supposed to have been golfing with Donald Trump. He turned it down and then he heard this update. It looks like he spoke with both Donald Trump and Steve Witkoff, who was accompanying him. Take a listen to what Sean Hannity had to say about that. Anyway, so long story short is

I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INVITED TO PLAY GOLF. I WAS INV

So they were playing, they were on the fifth hole. And the way Steve described this, the way the president described it, they both had exactly the same story, which was that they heard pop, pop, pop, pop.

And Steve went into great specificity and great detail as to what happened right after. Within seconds, the Secret Service pounced on the president, covered him. You had snipers with tripods. They knew the direction where the shots had been fired. And they had eyes on the location where the shots had been fired.

And long story short, they were a I have I have confirmed with both the president and with Mr. Wyckoff that the gun has been found. They identified it as an AK-47. And thanks to Secret Service drone video coverage, they were able to identify the one individual involved in this shooting getting into a car after dropping the AK-47. OK.

OK, so let's pull out of here. What is the first thing that jumps at you when you hear that story? Because for me, I just went, how did they know that Trump was golfing?

Trump has not put that out publicly. This was not some part of his schedule, which was announced to the public. So this means that this individual had insider information. In fact, Trump had just flown in from the West Coast because he was doing events out in Utah. And suddenly he's golfing. He's got plans to golf with Steve Witkoff and potentially some other buddies who turned him down, like Sean Hannity. And this individual not only knew that Donald Trump was golfing, but knew that he would be coming up upon the fifth hole.

Because according to AP News, and I have not been to this particular golf club, I don't golf, but apparently that is actually a vulnerable spot in terms of security. So this person had insider knowledge, okay, that Trump was going to be golfing on that morning, that specific time that Donald Trump was going to be golfing, okay? They knew he would be coming upon the fifth hole and they were familiar with the fact, familiar with the layout and knew that the fifth hole was a vulnerable spot, okay?

instantly this signals to me that this individual was in contact with somebody on the inside. That's the conspiracy. You're not allowed to say, I don't care. I don't believe in conspiracies. Okay. I'm a Catholic. I believe in Providence. Okay. This person knew that Donald Trump was going to be a sitting duck and was hoping that no one would spot him through the clearing as he began to set up for a shot on President Trump.

So what happened thereafter? Yes, it has been confirmed that the AK-47, it's being alleged it's an AK-47, definitely a semi-automatic rifle of some description, plus a GoPro camera has been recovered. Apparently, the shooter also had a backpack and he had laid these things out. And I can actually show you this photo of his backpack. And then you can see another bag. He laid it onto the fence,

And then once the Secret Service spotted him, and like I said, it sounds like the Secret Service were the ones who fired the four shots, he then put down his semi-automatic rifle, jumped into an awaiting Nissan, okay? So this guy had an exit plan. He also had a GoPro. This signals to me that he was going to record in some capacity him having killed Trump. Why would he be doing that? Who was he going to send that to? Whose instructions was he operating on when he did this?

And then he was ready to get away in a Nissan, okay? They were able to, just as you heard Sean Haney describe, quickly apprehend the suspect, which is a good thing. The Martin County Sheriff William Schneider, a county sheriff, his name is William Schneider, told the news stations that the suspect was taken into custody without the firearm, obviously, because he left it on the side. And they obviously knew that they had the right guy because when they arrested him, he didn't have any emotion, right?

So that's completely crazy. You get pulled over. They've got guns trained on you. And this guy had absolutely no emotion. Take a listen. We whisked nobody away. There was a lone driver in the vehicle. That driver is now in custody in the hands of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. What was his demeanor, Sheriff, when you approached the car? The suspect's demeanor I would describe as having a relatively calm, flat, a factly,

was not displaying a lot of emotion, never asked what is this about. Obviously, law enforcement with long rifles, blue lights, a lot going on, never questioned it. Was he armed at the time or he or she? He was not armed when we took him out of the car. Of course, we didn't do a search and I would suspect that they're getting a search warrant now. The FBI will take that car, we will transport it for them back to Palm Beach County into their office.

So what's also interesting is how lucky they got. And truly, this is a story of what the media typically tries to term a Karen. I've kind of embraced that. Somebody who saw something weird and...

instantly recorded down the guy's license plate, saw him emerging from the trees, thought he looked suspicious and was able to give this information over like quite literally a bystander is the one that was able to crack this very quickly. I'm going to pass this over to a clip. Sheriff Rick Bradshaw came out and did a press conference and described exactly how they were able to apprehend the suspect so quickly. Take a listen. One thirty this afternoon.

Call came out, shots fired. That was called in by the Secret Service. Because we're in constant contact with them all the time, we were notified of that, and we had units here that immediately sealed off the area. Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, "Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes. He jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tank," which was great.

So we had that information, our real time crime center put it out to the license plate readers and we were able to get a hit on that vehicle on I-95 as it was headed into Martin County. We got a hold of Martin County Sheriff's Office, alerted them and they spotted the vehicle and pulled it over and detained the guy. After that we took the victim, I'm sorry, the witness that witnessed the incident

Took, flew him up there, and he identified as the person that he saw running out of the bushes and jumped into the car. Now, in the bushes where this guy was is an AK-47-style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had ceramic tile in them, and a GoPro, which he was going to take pictures of.

It's unbelievable. And again, credit obviously to the police force for being able to apprehend the suspect so quickly. But this would not have happened without this anonymous person who immediately sprung into action, decided to record this person's license plate. Now, who is this person? Who are we talking about? Well, don't let the neocons tell you, because before we even got a name, and I'm going to talk about that in a second, they were already trying to float Iran. I just want to be very clear. I hate neocons. I hate them. I hate them completely.

so much that hate doesn't even seem to be the right description of how I feel about these people. Like it's not deep enough. It's all they care about is driving us into a war. And by the way, that is the bigger picture here. This is about getting us involved in a global war that has already been planned, which is why no matter what happens,

They just say, it's Iran. It's Iran. Because there are plans for Iran and all they need to do is to have something happen that puts the American people on their side. That makes the American people go, yes, rah, rah, rah, let's go to war with Iran. So before any

anybody was named, they were already floating how likely it is that this was a romp. Before we get to it, let me tell you a little bit about the suspect, okay? So the suspect's name is Ryan Wesley Ruth. This photo was floating on X earlier today. People were saying it looked to be about a six-year-old man, and people were going, oh, we don't know if it's the right photo. It checks out, actually. You just can't tell that he does actually have like a white, gray goatee.

Ryan Wesley Ruth, what we know about him so far, and obviously this information is all just coming out. He's a 58 year old who is from Hawaii. Pardon me.

He is the person that authorities are now naming as the individual who pointed that rifle with a scope at former President Donald Trump. Now, his LinkedIn, everyone's obviously crawling the internet. And thankfully, as I said, they were able to apprehend and name him so quickly. And I think credit be to the fact that this happened in Florida, which is a San Francisco state. And so we're not going to get these like liberal games of trying to hide all the information and wait to be forthcoming. And it allows people to instantly hit

the web and dig up everything that we can because we have a right to know everything. We don't need to wait for agencies like the FBI and the CIA, who we don't trust.

to tell us the information. We want to be able to look this up ourselves. What has thus far come out, and by the way, guys, take everything with a grain of salt. We're obviously in the midst of this investigation right now. But as LinkedIn appears to show that this man attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, but relocated to Hawaii sometime around 2018.

It is also showing us that he is the owner of a company called Camp Box Honolulu, which is a shed building company with very few positive reviews. And he has not posted on his ex account in about a year. We are looking at an account that does appear to be his. He frequently criticizes politicians, including Trump, current President Joe Biden and celebrities as well, like Bruno Mars.

Many of his replies don't seem to make any sense. He's even directed some insults toward exes owner Elon Musk, in which he seemed to have entertained purchasing a rocket from the billionaire rather nonsensibly. He wrote, quote, I would like to buy a rocket from you. I wish to load it with a warhead for Putin's Black Sea mansion bunker to end him. Can you give me a price, please? It can be old and used as not returning, he wrote.

He also visited Kiev and claimed that he would be willing to fight on the front lines if he were permitted to. Now, a lot of his public postings seem to be aimed at the Ukraine-Russian border,

Dispute, pardon. And he's very pro-Ukraine. It seems to have made him somewhat deranged based on his postings. Here is another post that he wrote on X. I am willing to fly to Krakow and go to the border of Ukraine to volunteer and fight and die.

Will I be able to cross to the border to fight without a visa? Every citizen around the globe should be running to Ukraine to fight. Can I be the example? We must win.

That is a mental derangement. And that's not a mental derangement that just came to him as he was walking down the street. That's a mental derangement that was provided to him by the mainstream media, by the warmongers, by the neocon class, the obsession that they had with trying to attach Americans to the idea that our freedom somehow depends on this regional conflict between Ukraine and Russia. So he's bit that. He believes that somehow he must offer to sacrifice his own life

To go out there and to defend Ukraine's borders. Again, that is a mental derangement that was created by the mainstream media in collusion with the neocons, the war class. And this is significant stuff. I don't want to ignore his near obsession with Ukraine. This could be a clue, by the way, in terms of why he is not happy with Trump. As I spoke about literally on our Friday episode, Trump is.

is not keen on the Ukraine war, and that is a problem for the war class. That is a problem for the military industrial complex because they have plans to invade Russia, okay? Wake up, this is not a conspiracy. They are obsessed with going to war with two countries, and that is Russia and Iran.

OK, Russia and Iran, they keep trying to get our psyche there to believe that for some reason we have to go fight in these foreign territories. And they're having difficulty this time around. OK, their usual game of psychologically conditioning us to believe that we're fighting to spread democracy. It's not working. It's not working. In fact, this morning I tweeted Ukraine. Yeah, Zelensky is a Bolshevik. He's mass murdering Christians. And now he is sending priests and abbots to the front lines.

I don't care about Ukraine at all. I want to be very clear. And I harbor a lot of disgust for this neocon class who keeps pushing this on the public, making them believe that somehow we are attached to this foreign nation. That has nothing to do with America. There's always been a laundromat for the military industrial complex. That is what Ukraine is.

Now, I'm not saying this, by the way, because I mean to insult the Ukrainian people, okay? They are obviously having to live through this. And this is a reality for them that they have a Bolshevik dictator that is dragging their sons to die with crosses around their neck, putting them into vehicles as they scream against their will that they don't want to die. I don't know who they're clearing the space for, but I can tell you that war is on the menu and Trump is not a willing participant in that.

He showed that in the debate when he was asked about Ukraine. You guys, if you can, if it's easy, I'm just talking to my team right now, to pull that clip of when he was asked about Ukraine and he sort of danced around the question. He did that during the debate with Kamala Harris. If we get that clip, we will throw it in here. And that began trending. Trump seems unsure about the Ukrainian war. Trump doesn't seem like he thinks that we should really be in there. That was the thing that clued me.

That was the thing that I zeroed in on when my hunch and my suspicion on Friday was something's off here. OK, something's not right. I believe that Trump's campaign has been infiltrated. Going to explain that to you, my theory on that at length. But first, I want to show you what Trump said. I'm going to get into some of these reactions on social media. First, let's let's say let's see what Trump said via Truth Social. He wrote this.

There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first. I am safe and well. Nothing will slow me down. I will never surrender. Great. I'm very happy that that is how he feels. He said, I will always love you and for supporting me. Unity, peace, make America great again. May God bless you. He sent that out as an alert. He also posted this onto his socials, and it is good to hear that he is in good spirits.

having survived a second assassination attempt. This is the second assassination attempt on his life, okay? Like I said, I don't care what anybody in the mainstream, well, let's wait for details. No, okay? All of you are colluding to cover these assassination attempts to make us believe that these are lone shooters who have lost their minds and not that these people are being given instructions. You're asking us to rely on the very agencies who have been involved in

murdering presidents in the past, I am speaking clearly and plainly about JFK, okay? Obviously, he was murdered by the state. Obviously.

Obviously, just going to go ahead and put that out there because we all know it. It's so stupid that people dance around it and call it a conspiracy theory, knowing that the first time that conspiracy theory entered the American lexicon. Oh, yeah. The CIA drummed up that term after JFK was murdered and they wanted people to stop asking questions and they put journalists on payroll.

And that operation was called Operation Mockingbird to convince the public, nothing to see here, just your regular old president being shot in broad daylight in Dallas. That is the reality. People have to wake up about the reality of what we are fighting because it is real evil.

It's real evil and it is targeting Trump. And I don't think that he is wise to it. I really don't believe that he is wise to it. I think he thinks the people surrounding him are his friends. I'm not sure if in Trump's mind right now, he's going, hey, how did this person know that I was golfing?

Everyone should be questioned. I'm not saying everyone is guilty, but I'm saying everyone should be questioned. Because who knows? Maybe somebody was able to get a hold of not Trump's schedule, but Steve Witkoff's schedule. Maybe it's someone that Steve Witkoff is friends with that he doesn't even know that he gave this information to that shared it with someone. Everyone needs to be forthcoming. Every single person needs to be investigated because as I said, nobody in the public had that information.

Okay. So small circle of people would have known that Trump was golfing on this morning. Highly doubt that this person just sits outside of that golf club. Trump is usually at Mar-a-Lago. It's not usually at this golf club in West Palm. Okay. This person's not just sitting out there going, hmm, maybe Trump will golf today. And I'll just sit here with my AK-47.

at this fifth hole. Maybe he'll just, that's not a reality. In fact, I would actually like to see when the last time it is that Trump even gulfed at that location. This is a guy that's traveling all around the United States nonstop. He is campaigning. This person knew, again, that he would be here.

Now, Kamala Harris has issued this statement. She said, I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I'm glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America. Yeah, OK. Oh, so much effort went into that.

Oh, I've been briefed on reports she meant that he survived. Glad. Thumbs up. Violence has no place in America. I mean, you can just feel how forced that statement is. Like, there is no shock. You can tell that there's nothing in there that indicates that she's being authentic. I've been briefed. I don't care if you've been briefed. Why don't you actually say something with a little bit of passion behind it to show that you truly are not okay with violence? Not this copy and paste statement that everybody makes.

That has no substance and no meaning. What do I have to say? What's the thing I have to say? Oh, I have to say violence has no place in America. Okay, violence has no place in America. Am I good? That's how it feels. Joe Biden, crickets. I don't know if he's asleep. I don't know if he's dead. We've yet to see anything. We are refreshing and checking to see if our current president, Joe Biden, has anything to say. And again, he just likely has not come to, so we'll park that aside.

I want to show you this tweet because I just couldn't believe it. It's like, are these people on a text chain? The neocons, the warmongering class. It's unbelievable. Look at this tweet from journalist Yashar Ali. This is before we got the name of the shooter. It's just so I can tell you that. So this is like, they're already getting the narrative out there.

I just want to address something up front as it's understandably being brought up regarding the AK-47 incident at Trump's golf course. A reminder, we don't yet know who was behind this incident. However, we do know that the Islamic Republic of Iran seeks revenge on former President Trump and has hired and attempted to hire agents to assassinate him or at the very least cause chaos and destabilize him.

While the Islamic Republic of Iran and its intelligence agencies can be sophisticated in certain ways, the notion that they operate in a James Bond-like world of precision and perfection is false. They routinely fail at assassination attempts and bungle other efforts to undermine their enemies. This does not make the threat any less serious, but I've heard from people over the past hour that it couldn't be related to the Islamic Republic of Iran because it was just some random guy with a weapon who fled when the Secret Service confronted him.

The Islamic Republic, like many authoritarian regimes, prefers to hire thugs and criminals to do its bidding. It's not going to send a highly trained sniper from its own military to assassinate someone. For example, they've tried to hire drug dealers in the past. They've also hired members of Eastern European criminal gangs. Masih Ali Nad, the Iranian woman's rights advocate and journalist, had a man found outside her home in his car with an AK-47, and he was arrested after behaving suspiciously.

This man was operating as an agent for Iran. Not exactly James Bond style work here. Bottom line, stop attributing competence to these operations simply because they involve a state actor. Yes, incredible. Here's what I want to say. It's amazing. They call us the conspiracy theorists, right? They really believe that they are going to condition the public opinion.

to be on board with their already planned war in Iran. That's what they believe. They just think every incident, they're going to come to us with something this effing ridiculous and stupid, right? Yeah, I know it's West Palm Beach, and I know the pictures are floating around look like this guy is maybe not an agent of an Islamic Republic, but he could be. I just want you to know that.

He's not the only person that put this out that immediately, immediately wanted the American public to believe that this was the work of Iran. And, you know, in many ways, I anticipated that. I didn't think they would do it this quickly because I understand that we don't have an option here. OK, these people want war by any means necessary and the means by which they are willing to undertake war.

are to assassinate President Donald Trump. That is on their agenda, to assassinate President Donald Trump because he is inconvenient. He is in their way.

JD Vance tweeted this. I want to point this out, obviously, because he's running with Trump. He wrote, I'm glad President Trump is safe. I spoke to him before the news was public and he was amazingly in good spirits. Still much we don't know, but I'll be hugging my kids extra tight tonight and saying a prayer of gratitude. Okay, guys, I want to, I really want to...

have an honest discussion about who it is that wants Trump dead. Because we all know who it is, and I am just annoyed watching people theorize and say stupid things when I've been telling you, as I did on Friday, exactly who it is that wants Trump dead. So we're going to talk about that right after this brief message from one of our sponsors.

I've been telling you guys that these are daunting times. I've been telling you that it is important for everybody to be praying, praying for Donald Trump. I hope that Donald Trump is himself praying. And for those of you that don't know how to start, I've been telling you about Hallow. Well, Hallow has a new prayer challenge that is called How to Pray, because prayer can be such a daunting thing to undertake. And many people do ask themselves, well, where do we start? What do you say?

I remember when I was learning about Catholicism being in awe at how many different practices there are when it comes to prayer, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. Hallow's new prayer challenge will take you through short daily sessions over the next two weeks with an all-star lineup of spiritual leaders and guests giving you all of the essentials to creating a rich prayer life.

They'll teach you how to pray through scripture, how to do imaginative prayer, how to incorporate prayers that have been around for centuries and so much more. You'll get a new guide every day. And some of the guides include Father Mike Schmitz, Jonathan Rumi, who plays Jesus in The Chosen, Mark Wahlberg, and many others. The only way that we can get through these crazy times is by setting first things first, which is getting closer to God. And prayer is the best way to do that.

So download the Halo app for three months free at halo.com slash Candice. Again, that's halo.com slash Candice. All right, guys, so we are being provided with minute-to-minute updates here, and it turns out that Ryan Wesley-Ruth was interviewed from Newsweek Romania, and we have a clip of him being interviewed. So let's take a listen to Ryan Wesley-Ruth in his own words from back in 2022.

Tell me who you are and why are you here? I'm 56 from the US, from North Carolina originally. I still live in Hawaii now, so flew all the way from Hawaii here. So the question as far as why I'm here.

to me, you know, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white. This is about good versus evil. This is a storybook, you know, any movie we've ever watched, this is definitely evil against good. I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, the Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind and generous and unselfish and take care of one another, and it's just a matter of

you know, we need to stand up for that. That is the most important thing in the world is just to show human beings that we're kind and we're caring and that we take care of one another and that the world is united so that we feed each other and make sure that, you know, we all move forward as one collective whole unit. So, you know, we feel the pain of

one country's failure and their conflicts and we enjoy the successes of other countries that are doing good and we all work together and for some reason Russia does not grasp this concept that we're all one unit and we have to get along and work together and be normal human beings. This is 2022, we have to work together. It seems

asinine that we have a leader in a country that does not understand the concept of being unselfish and being generous and being kind and just the basic moral values that are required by human beings these days. It blows my mind.

So to be clear, he is sitting down with Newsweek because he was recruiting volunteers for the International Legion, bringing up the values involved in supporting Ukraine against somebody radicalized. Now, if you are the deep state and you are paying attention to these sorts of things, people that believe this, right, committing themselves so much, they're willing to fly halfway around the world to commit their lives to recruiting people into this war. This is a perfect person.

perfect person for you to attempt to radicalize further because he's already a radical. He's already a radical. It's already insane. What he is doing, what he is speaking about is completely insane and he has been radicalized by the mainstream media narrative. The same mainstream media narrative that made a bunch of Americans who can't even point out to where Wisconsin is on the map

suddenly commit to putting a Ukrainian flag in their bio, a Ukrainian flag which they would have never known the colors of had they had not been radicalized by the mainstream media. They would not have known if their Apple icons didn't

automatically complete to tell them which color and which flag it was specifically. The same Americans who still bear that flag in their bios and cannot point to Ukraine on a map. Okay. That is how mass psychosis events are created by the mainstream media. They did this. They attempted this years ago and many people fell for this. I was not one of these people. I believe Zelensky is evil. I

who is little more than an actor doing the bidding of evil state actors who think that we're supposed to be foolish enough to just accept Putin evil. Therefore, let's jump into World War III. I'm not buying that. You want to call me a Putin stooge? I don't care. Okay. I'm not walking in to World War III because of Western propaganda. So again, we have that clue. He is radicalized by Ukraine.

Who is it that wants Trump dead? Why do they want Trump dead? We spoke about this on Friday. We're going to speak about it again. OK, let's go back and revisit that debate moment when Trump was asked about Ukraine. Take a listen. Do you want Ukraine to win this war?

I want the war to stop. I want to save lives that are being uselessly, people being killed by the millions. It's the millions. It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting, which are fake numbers. Look, we're in for 250 billion or more because they don't ask Europe, which is a much bigger beneficiary to getting this thing done than we are.

They're in for $150 billion less because Biden and you don't have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO. They paid billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars when I said either you pay up or we're not going to protect you anymore. So that's maybe one of the reasons they don't like me as much as they like weak people.

You take a look at what's happening. We're in for 250 to 275 billion. They're into 100 to 150. They should be forced to equalize. With that being said, I want to get the war settled. I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well. I have a good relationship, and they respect

I'M NOT GOING TO BE A PRESIDENT. I'M GOING TO BE A PRESIDENT. I'M GOING TO BE A PRESIDENT. YOU'RE PRESIDENT. YOU'RE PRESIDENT. YOU'RE PRESIDENT. OKAY? OKAY? OKAY? THEY RESPECT ME. THEY RESPECT ME. THEY RESPECT ME. THEY DON'T RESPECT BIDEN. THEY DON'T RESPECT BIDEN. THEY DON'T RESPECT BIDEN. HOW WOULD YOU RESPECT HIM? HOW WOULD YOU RESPECT HIM? HOW WOULD YOU RESPECT HIM? WHY? WHY? FOR WHAT REASON? FOR WHAT REASON? FOR WHAT REASON? HE HASN'T EVEN MADE A PHONE HE HASN'T EVEN MADE A PHONE HE HASN'T EVEN MADE A PHONE CALL IN TWO YEARS TO PUTIN. CALL IN TWO YEARS TO PUTIN. CALL IN TWO YEARS TO PUTIN. HASN'T SPOKEN TO ANYBODY. HASN'T SPOKEN TO ANYBODY. HASN'T SPOKEN TO ANYBODY. THEY DON'T EVEN TRY AND GET IT. THEY DON'T EVEN TRY AND GET IT. THEY DON'T EVEN TRY AND GET IT. THAT IS A WAR THAT'S DYING TO BE THAT IS A WAR THAT'S DYING TO BE THAT IS A WAR THAT'S DYING TO BE SETTLED. SETTLED. SETTLED. I WILL GET IT SETTLED BEFORE I I WILL GET IT SETTLED BEFORE I I WILL GET IT SETTLED BEFORE I EVEN BECOME PRESIDENT. EVEN BECOME PRESIDENT.

When I'm president-elect and what I'll do is I'll speak to one, I'll speak to the other, I'll get them together, that war would have never happened. And in fact, when I saw Putin after I left, unfortunately left because our country has gone to hell, but after I left, when I saw him building up soldiers, he did it after I left.

I said, oh, he must be negotiating. It must be a good, strong point of negotiation. Well, it wasn't because Biden had no idea how to talk to him. He had no idea how to stop it. And now you have millions of people dead and it's only getting worse. And it could lead to World War Three. Don't kid yourself, David. We're playing with World War Three. And we have a president that we don't even know if he's.

where is our president we don't even know if he's a president and just to clarify they threw him out of a campaign like a dog we don't even know is he our president but we have a president mr president that doesn't know he's alive your time is up just to clarify in the question do you believe it's in the u.s best interest for ukraine to win this war yes or no i think it's the u.s best interest to get this war finished and just get it done negotiate a deal because we have to stop all of these human lives

from being destroyed. Wrong answer, President Trump. That, my friend, is how you get yourself shot.

Not because you were not telling the truth. Yes, we are playing with World War III, but they're not playing. They have decided that they want to go to World War III. That is planned. And when you get up there and you say, no, we're not doing that, I'm going to stop this, and I'm going to negotiate an end to this, you are getting in the way of the most evil cabal of people whose plans you accidentally interrupted back in 2016.

Like I said on Friday's episode, their candidate, the neocons, the war class, the military industrial complex was Hillary Clinton. Okay? Never Trump movement. They got on board. Fake conservatives pretending that they were actually conservative but just morally had to get behind Hillary Clinton. No, it was because then, way back then, they had decided that they wanted to go to war with Iran and Ukraine and Russia. Okay?

Russia, Russia, Russia. They kept throwing that at Trump all the time because Russia was already on their agenda, as was Iran. Hillary Clinton was supposed to be president for the next four years. And Hillary Clinton has never met a war that she didn't like. OK, she's a murderer for all intents and purposes because of all of the slaughters and wars and deaths that you can directly attribute to her time as secretary of state. OK.

Okay. Think about Gaddafi. Think about her laughing hysterically. Okay. These people love war. There is a blood lust amongst the elite class. Their families are enriched by war. You have another layer of people who just love the money that they make from war. War is a way for them, people who can't create anything, who just steal and rob, to reset. These people want a global reset. What better way to do it than after a world war? What happens after a world war?

You redraw boundaries. You decide that this country is now 10 times bigger. This one is 10 times smaller. You smash their economy, okay? You get them on a debt system. You say, you're going to play with us. We're the dollar.

You do that when things aren't going your way. You can't do things the right way, so you do them the wrong way. All you have to do is have bigger guns. You have to be willing to go to war. You have to be willing to be immoral. You have to be willing to be satanic. You have to be willing and have a lust for children and innocent women and children dying and

To be very clear, these people do. OK, so that was the wrong answer. That signaled to them that Trump is not keen on World War Three. He therefore must be eliminated. And they knew this. They knew this. OK, they're not going to wait another four years for World War Three. Right. They've already begun it.

The first step, as Trump is letting you know, was for this little back forth between Ukraine and Russia. The reason for that was because NATO wanted to expand into his territory. They're pretending he's just, oh, he wants to take over the world. No, don't be an idiot. Russia has a smaller GDP than California. NATO is creeping into his territory. NATO is poking the bear because NATO, hey, that's us. The West wants war with Russia. That is the reality. Don't care. Call me a Putin puppet. You've already done it.

Because I see things clearly. I see what's actually happening. And I see exactly why it is that they want Trump gone. Now, who am I speaking about? Well, I don't think Trump has wised up to the fact that it is the people that are around him that want this war. He doesn't understand it. He thinks he can contain this by saying, oh, I'm okay with this conflict. I'm okay with that conflict.

He doesn't understand that they want somebody like Nikki Haley, okay? Nikki Haley is high on war, okay? This woman was snorting lines of Ukraine and Israel for breakfast when she was running. That woman spoke more about Ukraine and Israel on stage than she spoke about America. That is what they need. They need a candidate that is going to say, no matter what, do whatever you need, take as much money as you want, enslave the American economy forever. Let's go to war, okay?

and she was supposed to be their candidate. But Donald Trump forgot to die 64 days ago when he was on stage, and a lone shooter shot at him. He forgot to die. He turned his head. That wasn't their plan. He was supposed to be dead. Do we have that? Do we have that video of Trump getting shot in queue? Take a look at what happened.

Donald Trump was supposed to die. You were supposed to watch him bleed out. Okay. And then what was going to happen was they were going to tell you a perfect story about why that person, as every camera was trained on him, cameras that hadn't even been there, cameras that don't even normally broadcast Donald Trump's rallies were all broadcasting that day, miraculously. So people were supposed to watch him die and then feel fury.

And then what was going to happen, they were going to tell us that Iran did it. Maybe they're going to tell us that Russia did it, maybe. But I think they told us afterwards, well, we were hearing that Iran wanted to do this. And don't forget, he killed Soleimani. So it makes sense that they traveled out here to Pennsylvania, to Butler, Pennsylvania, and put this random kid on a roof who was once in a commercial for BlackRock and whatever. His parents are involved in the psychologist community. But I'm sorry, just accept the narrative, right?

that this was done by Iran. You don't believe me? And that Americans are supposed to be on board. Yes, I just watched President Trump die. I'm on board with war. And lo and behold, Nikki Haley had announced, Nikki Haley, who had just recently dropped out of the race and ceded to Trump, had announced that she was going to speak at the RNC. Right before this, she announced she was going to speak at the RNC. And what was going to happen? Well, if Trump had shot and had actually died, it was going to be an open convention.

It's going to be an open convention, which means they were going to be able to pick. And of course, it would have just made sense that they picked the candidate that was just behind Trump. And that candidate was Nikki Haley. So again, he was supposed to be dead. Nikki Haley would have then been forced as the nominee. Nikki Haley, who was snorting lines of Ukraine and Israel and war, war, war, would have been the Republican nominee. And then they would have had a perfect race. They would have had Biden, who was dead,

who does whatever they say because he's not the president of the United States and he has never been the president of the United States. And it's a puppetry. It's obviously a puppet show. And then they would have had Nikki Haley, who has a lust for war. It would have been their pick of flip to coin. They wouldn't have cared either way. Maybe they would have done the same bit and had Biden cede to Kamala. Probably not because they would have expected everyone, because don't forget, a lot of Dems were warming up to Nikki Haley. They would have just expected that Nikki Haley would have beat him.

And Nikki Haley was their candidate. Nikki Haley was the Lockheed Martin war candidate. That didn't happen. That didn't happen. And so they've allowed this show to go on. They're having neocons infiltrate Donald Trump's campaign. He is pulling away from more his isolationist perspectives. If I had a perfect campaign built for Trump right now, he would be surrounded by rednecks.

Okay? That's about who I trust to be around him. He would be surrounded by rednecks who care about nothing but America first. He would go radically America first. Okay? He would take money from no one, say goodbye to the donor class because the donor class is the war class. These people are wealthy, the majority of them, because in some capacity they're making money off of these wars.

And Trump thinks these people are his friends. He actually believes that these people are his friends. He doesn't see it as an infiltration. He is so blind to assassination attempts, and he's not recognizing that the enemy is within, the enemy is surrounding him. Somebody provided that information about him golfing. Who was that somebody? Who do you guys think it was?

Do you trust what's happening right now at the Trump campaign? Who's giving him this advice to be speaking about pro-choice and IVF and what is going on right now? Why does it look like to me a neocon infiltration intentionally trying to ruin his campaign? And it looks like by any means necessary, they will ruin his campaign. I trust no one around him. I trust no one around him right now.

And I cannot believe that he does not have the gut instinct to recognize that something is wrong when you survive two assassination attempts. Giving you guys an update here from CNN, Caitlin Collins has said that the U.S. intelligence officials recently briefed Trump's campaign about new indications that Iran was planning to escalate attacks on the former president.

Unbelievably, guys, they're really going with this. Hey, you survived again. Okay, so the guy was obviously very high on Ukraine, but let me tell you why you need to realize that it was Iran. This is incredible. This is so obvious. It is so obvious.

Before we even had a shooter, the neocons are tweeting about Iran. Now we have an update and we're saying that we are learning that the U.S. intelligence officials are similarly trying to tell Trump that it was Iran. Who is it that wants war with Iran? Because that is the person that is attempting, in my view, to assassinate President Trump both times.

The state wants war with Iran. When the state wants to go to war, they will do it by any means necessary. Just ask JFK, who was presented with a plan to stage a fake terrorist attack on American soil by the CIA. They were going to kill Americans in an attack, and then they were going to blame it on Cuba so that American people would go, rah, rah, rah, let's go to war with Cuba. That is a declassified CIA policy.

event called Operation Northwoods. This is how presidents die, okay? They die when war is on the agenda. People need to wake up to this. First of all, Donald Trump needs to wake up to this. He should be trusting no one and he better not be foolish enough to believe that it is Iran who somehow got somebody out to West Palm Beach on a Sunday so that they could take a shot at him.

I mean, it's absolutely senseless. It is absolutely senseless. I am infuriated. I am just, it is unbelievable how obvious it is at this point. It is unbelievable how obvious it is at this point. Let me tell you guys something before we read your comments. You better wake up to the real history of America, okay? You better start looking into all of the assassination attempts and figure out what it all is that they have in common. All the assassinations, sorry, not attempts, successful assassinations of US presidents in the past, okay? Because there have been four,

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, and what you think you know about that assassination is likely wrong. When a priest sat me down and said, you know nothing about your country, you know nothing about the Freemasons that were warring for your country, it was about that time that I really woke up to what is happening and what has always been happening in this country. There has always been a hand in this country behind the scenes, and they are willing to murder for power. They are willing to murder for war.

There have been four sitting U.S. presidents that have been killed. Abraham Lincoln, allegedly by John Wilkes Booth. There's a lot to that story that you should look into. James Garfield, killed by a person whose father believed he was possessed by Satan, who was involved in some weird religious stuff. Killed by Charles Guiteau. And of course, there was William McKinley.

when we brought in a ton of these radical communists under the guise of pogroms, and they began radicalizing people in the streets, turning Americans into communists. You know, we should really re-up McCarthy because he was a hero. You've been lied about that in your books. America was infiltrated by communists who were assassinated by, were thrilled by the successful assassination of a czar, came here and started inspiring people here

to start killing people for power. And Leon Solgoles was the person who shot and killed William McKinley, who was inspired by communists in New York City. And then, of course, the last president who was shot and killed was John F. Kennedy. And we're really still supposed to believe that it was Lee Harvey Oswald. I'm not buying that. I've never bought that before you could even say that he didn't do it. He was shot by a guy who had been MKUltra'd in prison.

If you don't know, if none of this sounds familiar to you, then it might be time for you to examine and come to the recognition that you know nothing about real history. What you know is what has been intentionally taught to you, almost like a fairy tale in your classrooms. And when I came to that conclusion and I came to that recognition, it was shocking, it was jarring, but for the first time it made sense that this is a true battle between good and evil.

This is a true battle, as the Bible tells us, regarding principalities of darkness. That is what we are fighting. And if this does not wake Donald Trump up to that fact, if he does not recognize that and start switching things up, I don't know if he's going to make it. I truly don't know if he's going to make it because he is surrounded by evil. That is my viewpoint. You guys, um...

I want to get into some of your comments, but I first just want to throw it to, before we jump into your comments and jump into some of your super chats here, I'm just going to thank our sponsors. All right, guys, cutting in to remind you about American financing. We all know that the Biden-Harris economy has been a major burden on the average American. The wages are flat, expenses are up, and it is very hard to manage to pay all the bills without grabbing the credit card. If you're a homeowner and you're frustrated with that cycle, I need you to make a 10-minute video

No obligation call today to my friends at American Financing. Interest rates are coming down and are now in the low fives. If you're constantly carrying a credit card balance each and every month, the rate in the 20s, American Financing can show you how to put your hard-earned equity to work and get out of debt.

Their salary-based mortgage consultants are saving their customers on average $800 a month. And if you get started today, you may not even have to make next month's mortgage payment. So call American Financing today at 800-795-1210. Again, that's 800-795-1210. Or you can visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens. Again, that's AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens.

All right, guys, just providing you here with a brief update on the gunman. Another thing that's coming in is that Ruth was convicted in 2002 of possessing a weapon of mass destruction. It's according to the online North Carolina Department of Adult Correction records. The records do not provide details about the case.

A weapon of mass destruction. You're telling me this guy was able to secure a passport and to be allowed to go overseas into another country? I mean, I'm having trouble getting into, I'm having trouble traveling because of my rhetoric to Australia.

Because I'm not pro-war, I guess. I'm not pro-dead Palestinians. And you're telling me this guy, convicted, weapon of mass destruction, no issues traveling overseas. Man, why is this giving me the chaos vibe? Chaos being the book that I have been saying is required reading if you watch this podcast because it really will help catalyze your understanding of just how evil our state is, just on how hell-bent they are on going to war.

realizing that everything you were told about the Charles Manson murders was a lie, that he was a guy in prison, and this looks like this guy was in prison, who was then turned into a federal agent. And to what end? Well, when I started putting the pieces together, it's pretty obvious they wanted the hippie movement to end because LBJ, after they had shot JFK, wanted war. And a bunch of people on LSD talking about

love and free love and no war was not going to cut it. They needed a jarring, shocking, mass psychosis event, like the idea that a hippie commune turned into sadistic murderers and killed a Hollywood actress. Read that book, Chaos. Wake up and understand what it is that we are fighting because this smells funny to me. So he was in prison. And that is where a lot of people are turned federal agents, in prison.

They will cut a deal, they will give you time off, and you will then be let out with remarkable privileges, as was Charles Manson, to do federal bidding. This, again, is another clue that is worth investigating. Because I can't imagine that somebody with a weapon of mass destruction is just able to just, being convicted of that, la-di-da, go wherever he wants, become a spokesperson for the Ukraine war as he sits in Romania, doesn't pass the test.

It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. Getting into some of your comments here, Lucky Mint, thank you for the tip here. Lucky Mint writes, amazing coverage. The 11th Hour writes, God bless you, Hail Mary. Savian writes, you're the only popular famous person I trust 1000% with my heart. God bless you, keep it up.

The original call writes, Trump is a threat because he brings American national pride, which is a threat to Zionist power. They depend on Americans being divided. National pride brings people together. Kimberly Hall writes, I read Chaos. It was the first book I went through all the way as an adult. Amazing book.

Because I wouldn't be selling out the American people. I'd be selling out my kids, okay? That is a bleak future. These people are willing to sell out, completely sell out to make a buck.
