WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:10.839 on the iHeartRadio app. So Splash is a rescue order 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.000 that is working in Arizona. 5 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.399 Seems out of place, but go on. 6 00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.719 Splash is being trained to sniff out evidence and victims 7 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.519 in underwater settings. The search and rescue people say, if 8 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.320 a body gets into a canal or a river and 9 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.719 an alligator gets to them before we do, the gator 10 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.320 will take the remains and stuff it somewhere and it 11 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.439 makes it very difficult to find. The search dogs can 12 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:40.399 get us into the area, but they can't get us 13 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.560 from the boat to the bottom. The otters get us 14 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.119 from the boat to the bottom. The otters can smell underwater. 15 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.439 They're the only mammals that can smell underwater. Did you 16 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:50.840 know that? 17 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:52.000 I love that. 18 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.880 You know that there's so much crap going on in 19 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.600 the world that you look for a good otter story 20 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.719 to kind of set the tone, like a good oyster cracker, 21 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.120 if you will, to cleanse the palette. 22 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.120 I am an oyster cracker. Here's the thing I was. 23 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.239 I am in Charlotte, came out here with the Chargers, 24 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.239 and I'm immersed in the worlds of football, so it 25 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.599 was so crushing to me this morning after a great 26 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.560 game played by the Chargers here in Carolina. Of course, 27 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.040 a lot of that has to do with the Panthers 28 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.319 being the worst team in the NFL. However, they played wonderfully. 29 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.599 It was so nice to see this performance. And then 30 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.879 going back to the hotel, just sitting there having NFL 31 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.680 Red Zone on my tablet, the Chiefs game on the TV, 32 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.760 and just watching hours and hours of football. And then 33 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.439 this morning waking up and looking at Trump assassination attempts 34 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.159 and Kamala Harris putting down all of America with her 35 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.760 lawn comment, Oh this is this. 36 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.359 I don't know how to even describe how weird this is. 37 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.280 I was yesterday. I could not imagine. 38 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.840 I thought when the first alerts came out that there 39 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.920 was a shooting, you're the president of something like they were. 40 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.879 They're okay, you're exaggerating. 41 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.319 It was somewhere in the state of Florida, there was 42 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.680 a shooting, and yes, Trump happened to be No, no, 43 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.400 this was a legit. It appears a legit attempt at 44 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:18.199 the guy's life again, and it's it's bothersome looks bad 45 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.360 for the Secret Service, or it looks good for the 46 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:21.080 Secret Service. 47 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.199 I haven't figured it out yet, But well, they caught. 48 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.879 Him before he was able to get in the I 49 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.879 mean he was in the vicinity, as they're saying. 50 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.599 But yeah, and then the question is, how could you 51 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.520 still even get into the vicinity. How could you get 52 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.639 within a couple hundred yards of a former president with 53 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.319 an AK forty seven style rifle. 54 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.080 I don't think you a scope as well? Yeah, the scope. 55 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.080 I don't know anything about this, but it sounds like 56 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.919 a scope increases your ability to hit a faraway target. 57 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.639 I don't believe there was a scope on the rifle itself. 58 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.719 I think it was a spotting scope that you would 59 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.080 hold in your hand to judge a distance. Think of 60 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.520 but remember the kid in Butler Pence, Sylvania had a 61 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.919 rangefinder similar. I mean just in terms of he if 62 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.599 he's going to use it to dial in the rifle, 63 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.439 judge the distance, and that sort of thing that's possible 64 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.280 possibly what he had. They were able to get this 65 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.120 guy because once the Secret Service saw a rifle barrel 66 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.280 poking through the shrubs on the sixth hole, I believe 67 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:21.599 it was. 68 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.840 I love it when they're shrubbery involved in a story 69 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.159 because it makes me think of Monty Python shrubbery. 70 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.159 Right, you're the only you're the only woman I know 71 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.680 who thinks of Monty Python. That's a very that's a 72 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.280 very male thing to think. Yeah, but a Secret Service 73 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.000 agent saw the rifle barrel and apparently peeled off a 74 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:46.400 couple of shots. We don't think that, Ryan Wesley Routh, 75 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.520 this fifty eight year old suspect was able to get 76 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.000 any shots off, but he left his position. He got up, 77 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.639 and he ran jumps into a Nissan pathfinder. I believe 78 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.319 somebody sees him do that and thinks that's weird. I 79 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.879 don't know why, but they think it's weird. They take 80 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.800 a picture of not just the vehicle, but they happened 81 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.520 to capture the license plate. License plate gets called into 82 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.439 nine one. One gets fed into license plate readers around 83 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.639 that area in Palm Beach County and Martin County. They 84 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.360 catch him on I ninety five and then in the 85 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:22.000 neighboring county and then Martin County. Sheriff explains they followed him. 86 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:22.279 For a while. 87 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.160 They got all their resources in place so that they 88 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.560 could make an effective stop and that he was there 89 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.360 a short time after the actual traffic stop, and he 90 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.839 said the whole thing was perplexing. 91 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.800 Yeah, I was there right after the stop, and it 92 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.720 was perplexing. You know, somebody who actually, at the time, 93 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.839 we were positive that we had the suspect, we had 94 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.759 the vehicle, we thought we had him, but his facial 95 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:51.720 affect was so flat, his demeanor was relaxed. I honestly 96 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.920 thought it looked like somebody that just left the church 97 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.639 picnic and was on his way home. And I mean 98 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.680 the Interstate was calling with law enforcement. We had, you know, 99 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.360 our team had gotten out their rifles, helicopter five, shut down, 100 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.240 a bomb dog, everything was there. He was as calm 101 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.959 as as really is if he was going for them. 102 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.399 Yeah. Just the guy's odd. 103 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.480 His own son says, oh Dad, you know he's he's 104 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.519 adamant about his feelings, but he's not one to do 105 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.560 this bat ass crazy stuff. 106 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:25.319 I was. 107 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.879 I didn't know about the rider die Ukraine. People that 108 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.959 feel so strongly about Ukraine that in helping Ukraine. 109 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.000 Yeah, that they've they've picked up taking up arms against Russia. 110 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.600 I also think that we're wasting our time sometimes when 111 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.800 we go on these retrospective Who are these people? What 112 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.720 made them the way they are? What do we know 113 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.079 about their life? Because they're just crazy people crazy. 114 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.000 We want to ascribe some sort of logical progression to 115 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.160 the guy's you know, downfall, or his his decision making 116 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.680 where he's going to pick up a rifle and aim 117 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.600 at a former president. It's almost as if, well, I mean, 118 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.199 it's not like we're going to find somebody and go, 119 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:07.759 oh my gosh. 120 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.279 That reminds me my neighbor Dave. 121 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.000 I wonder if I should call somebody about my neighbor Dave, 122 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.600 because he also feels like Russia is impinging upon Ukraine's sovereignty. 123 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.120 Well, and also if you had a neighbor Dave who 124 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.439 was crazy and always ranting about the Ukraine sovereignty, who 125 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.839 would you call about that? And what would they do? 126 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.800 And is there a mechanism to where you can raise 127 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.160 the red flag to the crazy police and say this 128 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.639 person seems to be close to losing it and he's 129 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:36.240 got guns. 130 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:37.560 Yeah, you can't. 131 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.040 There's nothing you can do because it potentially would depend 132 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.160 on who he was threatening if it even got to 133 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:45.120 that level, you know. 134 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:46.959 But there's more on this. 135 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.000 In fact, We have an interview that he did with 136 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.519 Newsweek Romania where he describes why he's in Ukraine, why 137 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:55.399 he's fighting. 138 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.199 On behalf of the Ukrainians against the Russians. 139 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.360 Our engineer is here with me in Charlotte, and I 140 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.560 was explaining to one of my friends about the show 141 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.199 and said, I don't really remember the context, but he said, 142 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:15.439 Gary is a beautiful man, and uh, couples spoken a 143 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.680 couple of things. I don't know if I've heard a 144 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:22.480 man referred to as beautiful and not you either, not 145 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.040 that you're not beautiful in your own way. 146 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:25.399 But. 147 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.199 God's creatures are all beautiful. But I don't I didn't 148 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.839 know that Rich felt that way about you. You know, 149 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.759 it was completely unsolicited. It came out of nowhere. 150 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:42.439 That's going to make a very odd first interaction when 151 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.079 we come back, when I see Rich in the hallway, 152 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:50.720 I know, but there you go. Apparently we've made neighbor 153 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:51.839 Dave mad already. 154 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.399 Hey, guys, neighbor day from I'm gonna be honest with you, 155 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.519 I'm Dave, But I got a neighbor's he's got the 156 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.839 Ukraine flag and the ground still and up in arms 157 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:10.560 and probably voting for Kara, So we call it neighbor 158 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.199 Steve instead of neighbor Dave. 159 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.040 Thanks case, sorry, Dave's. 160 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.399 Yeah, gosh, neighbor Dave's. I didn't realize that that was 161 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.600 going to be quite was going to be the issue. 162 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.279 Did you hear about the media strategy involving Travis Kelcey 163 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:27.160 and Taylor Swift? 164 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.439 Oh? Yeah, you have heard. Which one? Are you talking 165 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.240 about the Laura Lumer version of the media strategy? 166 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.399 I don't know what that is. I didn't know she 167 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.759 was involved with this romance. But the alleged media plan 168 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.320 says that they're going to break up on September twenty eighth. Oh, 169 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.240 that's the strategy. But now they're threatening legal action against 170 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.200 whoever made this up. Now, if somebody came out and 171 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.000 said that you and your wife were going to get 172 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.639 a divorce on September twenty eighth, you would be like, okay, buddy, okay, Dave, whatever, right. 173 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.480 I wouldn't threaten the law. You wouldn't. 174 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.759 You wouldn't call your lawyers because there's nothing there there. 175 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:04.159 That is a great point. 176 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:10.960 We could we could see some snow this week, still 177 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.039 in summer, but they're talking about Yosemite National Park among 178 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.679 other places in the Sierra Nevada could see snow this week. 179 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.240 This trough of low pressure that's coming through, swinging through 180 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.279 southeast and swinging southeast, I should say, through northern and 181 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:29.320 central California. Cold air, snow level down around eight thousand feet, 182 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.320 some measurable snow possible before. 183 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.679 The end of this week at Yosemite. 184 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.399 So I was thinking about this attempted assassination attempt, if 185 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.799 that's what you want to call it, that's how it's 186 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.320 being investigated. And I was thinking, Wow, strange times we 187 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.639 are in that people feel like they can take shots 188 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.399 at a former president who's running again. Strange times. But 189 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.080 then you know, you stumble upon the story about Gerald Ford. 190 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.440 Oh yeah, I mean that's before my time. I didn't know. 191 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.720 I wasn't privy to what happened with Gerald Ford, but 192 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:02.000 he escaped two assassination attempts within like three weeks in California, 193 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.360 one in Sacramento, the other in San Francisco. And it 194 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.679 was both brought It was both women brought. 195 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.679 Yeah, brought to you by ladies from the great state 196 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.279 of California. And the first one it was September fifth, 197 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.559 nineteen seventy five, squeaky from a follower of Charles Manson. 198 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.159 She points a gun at Ford, and originally I thought 199 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.720 that it misfired. The report I saw today set a 200 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.279 Secret Service agent actually grabbed the gun from her before 201 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.759 she was able to get a shot off, and then 202 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:29.679 she was taken into custody. 203 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.759 And she was wearing a bright red dress. Who tries 204 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.039 to take a shot at the president wearing a red dress? 205 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.200 Usually when you put on a red dress, you feel good, 206 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.399 you feel confident, you. 207 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.679 Want all eyes on you. 208 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:39.279 With there we do. 209 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.879 And then seventeen days later, I think it was September 210 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.720 twenty second. In that same year seventy five, Sarah Jane 211 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:51.799 Moore tried to assassinate him. Ford had made an address 212 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.039 to the World Affairs Council in San Francisco, and she 213 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.320 was just a bad shot. She did fire a couple 214 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.480 shots at the president with a thirty eight special. 215 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.440 Was it taken as serious you lived back then? 216 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.960 Was I remember that very well? 217 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.759 Was it taken as seriously as everyone's taking this? 218 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:10.519 Or is he was? 219 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.879 The thought process? These are just two crazy broads. 220 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.639 There's I think there's some I vaguely remember the attempt 221 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.519 on Reagan's life very different circumstances, because obviously there was 222 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.000 a point where there was some concern that the president 223 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.360 was going to die. That has not been the case, thankfully, 224 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:32.639 in these you know, these two attempts. But I mean, 225 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:37.320 it was wall to wall coverage constantly with Reagan. And 226 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.039 I remember, I think it was Newsweek magazine that my 227 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.559 parents subscribed to, and I remember seeing an image on 228 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.840 the inside one of the articles describing that where the 229 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:53.240 path of the bullet in Reagan's body and how close 230 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.720 he was to having his heart shredded by the bullet 231 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.080 fragments that made its way into his chest cavity. That 232 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.279 kind of that kind of imagery is will forever be 233 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.360 in my head, whether it's because I was what eight 234 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.399 years old at the time or whatever. But I don't 235 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:14.840 think that those images last as long today in someone's 236 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.600 head for a couple of different reasons. Number One, our 237 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:23.639 news cycle turns so quickly that it can easily be 238 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:27.320 replaced by a stupid story about a barbecued dog or 239 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.960 an otter that can smell underwater. 240 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:30.480 Barbecued dog. 241 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.240 Yeah, I'm just talking about all those stories about eating 242 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.399 the animals. Oh yeah, I mean that kind of stuff. 243 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.440 There are some iconic images from the assassination. 244 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.480 I don't think they're barbecuing the cats and dogs and 245 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.120 the ducks. 246 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:44.960 Well, how else are they gonna eat them. 247 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.919 I think they're just grabbing them and just cheating them. Raw. 248 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.399 Okay, that's the latest version. 249 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:57.600 I mean, there are iconic images of that Butler pa attempt, 250 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.440 you know what, the president former president was in the 251 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.399 air and the flag in the background, surrounded by the 252 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.759 Secret Service agent. Some of those images will live on, 253 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.519 but I mean it was almost like a shoulder shrug yesterday. 254 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.639 I think for some people that somebody tried to assassinate 255 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:17.080 a a former president, be a major presidential candidate, and 256 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:18.679 there's no one. 257 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.320 I mean President Biden. He still is the president. 258 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.120 By the way, he came out and said that, I 259 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.440 think we need more personnel. I mean, I want someone's 260 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.960 head to be on fire about this. Regardless of whether 261 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.919 or not you like the guy or don't. This is 262 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.039 not a path that is good for anyone to go down. 263 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.440 And if politicians and pundits and talking heads and people 264 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.679 on both sides, if they don't start taking responsibility for 265 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.919 the words that come out of their mouth and the 266 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:57.159 just absolute constant stoking of the fires, and the other 267 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.080 side is bad and they're evil and they are plotting 268 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.159 the destruction of the country or whatever. 269 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.120 This it's gonna get. It's gonna get worse. 270 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.320 Two assassination attempts in two months is going to seem 271 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:14.559 like ice cream Sunday. I saw the sheriff in Palm 272 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.039 Beach County yesterday when he was doing his news conference, 273 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:23.600 and he suggested that because Donald Trump is a former president, 274 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:28.720 the level of security around him is smaller than if 275 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.840 he were the sitting president. Obviously, but there are certain 276 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.320 and I don't I don't know the exact size or 277 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.159 what the concentric circles would be. A sitting president obviously 278 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.919 would have the highest level of security. Vice president would 279 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:47.960 probably have the exact same, and then from there you've got, 280 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.960 you know, the heads of the major candidates. And that's 281 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.600 obviously one of the reasons why Trump has the protection, 282 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.840 but also because he is a former president and he 283 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.519 has a Secret Service protection for the rest of his life. 284 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:06.039 I have a conspiracy theory that this was done because 285 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.879 Trump needs attention. I think somebody in his orbit did 286 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.639 this to revive what happened in Pennsylvania. Put that back 287 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.360 on our radar, get some attention, win a news cycle. 288 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.399 He hasn't won a news cycle. He's been struggling ever 289 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:22.240 since the debate. 290 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.399 But how does that happen? 291 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:29.559 And I'm not how how does somebody cook up this idea, 292 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.240 find this guy who's crazy enough to be convinced to 293 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.559 do this and throw away the rest of his life? 294 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.200 For what I mean? I what was? How how do 295 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:41.679 you do it? 296 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.120 Well? You find you do just that. You find someone 297 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.279 crazy enough, somebody who's ranting online or on you know, 298 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.960 Reddit or Discord or what have you about Ukraine, and 299 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.679 that feels strongly and you use your back channels to 300 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.360 get them to remember that girl who convinced that guy 301 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.360 to kill him? Be a text message. I mean, when 302 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.039 somebody's crazy, it's easy to manipulate them to do what 303 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.200 you want them to do. And I think that it's 304 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.519 a plausible plot. And the other thing is I'm not 305 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:17.639 convinced Trump doesn't have some sort of knowledge about this. 306 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.480 I mean, this is a guy who's spent his life 307 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.559 getting ratings. It's a guy who loves the teas, a 308 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.720 guy who knows how to put on a show a production, 309 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.440 and he would be the ultimate showrunner in. 310 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.000 This situation, Well, there is a couple of weird There's 311 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.279 a weird thing that has come out that I just 312 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.519 saw the report on. Amy mentioned it a few minutes 313 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:48.159 ago that allegedly this guy, Ryan Routh had spent twelve 314 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.679 hours at the Trump National golf course before Secret Service 315 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:53.519 spotted him there. 316 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:56.840 Now, the other what makes that unusual is. 317 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:03.240 This golf outing was supposedly a last minute decision that 318 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.079 nobody knew about it except Trump, the guy that he 319 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.839 was playing with, and a couple of his people around him. 320 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:10.920 And how would this guy know where to find him? 321 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:11.200 Right? 322 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.559 And I mean not, I think that kind of maybe 323 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.400 lends a little accidental credence to what you're talking about. 324 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.839 How does it How does a guy who out of nowhere. 325 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.400 Either hates the president or whatever his motivation is, how 326 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.160 does he know that Trump was going to be there? 327 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.559 And I mean, from that point, it does. 328 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.039 That's my conspiracy theory. 329 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.400 M h. 330 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:35.880 From that point, it doesn't take a lot of math 331 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:37.960 to go, Okay, if I'm gonna if I'm gonna target 332 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.440 somebody on a golf course, the only guaranteed place that 333 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.839 a golf player is going to be is on the 334 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.160 t box and depending if you're playing with me or 335 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.880 not on the green now, And apparently he was set up, 336 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.839 I think it was close to the sixth green if 337 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.359 the diagram that I saw was anywhere close to true. 338 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.000 But but that would make sense. 339 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.759 And in fact, I know that they said that he 340 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.400 was about four hundred yards or whatever, the length of 341 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.799 distance between where he was set up and where the 342 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.599 president actually was when this went down. 343 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.480 But he was getting closer. I mean, as Trump made 344 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.240 his way around that. 345 00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:17.920 Golf course from the fifth hole to the sixth hole, 346 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.559 he was eventually going to be very, very close to 347 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:24.119 this guy. And again there is a question, yes, and 348 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.200 I want to play a quick talkback, but there is 349 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:31.759 a question of from different law enforcement agents, or I 350 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:35.039 should say, from news anchors to law enforcement agents, both 351 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:39.240 former and current, could anything else have been done? Was 352 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:43.359 this technically a success? Were there enough Secret Service agents there? 353 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.519 That's always going to be a question that you have 354 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.039 to take a look at in the aftermath of something 355 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.519 like this. But I also think that according to their plan, 356 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.319 it worked as it was supposed to work. The other 357 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.680 only option that you have is to close off the 358 00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.880 entire area, and I don't know if you can do. 359 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.319 I mean, it's a big public area, there's a lot 360 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:05.680 of activity, there's businesses that are working. I mean, if 361 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.680 he wants to play golf, he can play golf. But 362 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.599 there is going to be that inherent risk. Again, you 363 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.119 put your resources out there in the manner that you do, 364 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.160 and you're able to subvert the threat the way. 365 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:17.599 That they did. 366 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:22.480 That's Frank Montoya, former FBI Secrets Sorry, special agent. 367 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.720 So we've got special agents calling in on the talkback. 368 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.160 No, no, no, no. This was the guy from the 369 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.519 talk back, Garry Shannon. You know, I've been listening and 370 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.160 I don't understand this narrative of was this a secret 371 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.440 service success or is this a Secret service failure? They 372 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:39.359 stopped the guy. It's Florida. 373 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:42.079 Florida is nothing but bushes and trees. If anyone has 374 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.599 been there, you can see just quarter mile distances between 375 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.519 even meager houses, which is nothing but like just tree 376 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:50.519 lines and things you can hide. In the fact that 377 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:53.039 the secret Service agent saw a barrel pointing out of 378 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:55.160 the bushes and took a shot at the guy and 379 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.400 stopped him before it even started, that sounds like a 380 00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:58.000 success to me. 381 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.359 Yeah, yeah, I mean, but there is still a question, 382 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.119 how does a guy get that close to a former 383 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:06.240 president with a rifle like that? 384 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.839 Was this woman on your radar? This Laura Lumer Maga 385 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.400 shorder activist. 386 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.200 I actually saw a bit of her stuff. 387 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.279 I had to be after the first assassination at Tip 388 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.720 it started coming up on in Twitter and on my 389 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:28.119 feed in that she was responding to stories that were 390 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:33.480 just high profile and she had a certain amount of 391 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.160 I don't want to say credibility, but she had a 392 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.200 certain amount of information that made it seem like she 393 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:46.160 was getting some sort of inside scoop from somewhere. A 394 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.079 lot of it turned out to just be, you know, 395 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.920 empty promises of I'm going to have a document dump 396 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:54.359 that's going to prove that the shooter in Butler, PA 397 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.559 was funded by Democrats or whatever. 398 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:01.720 And yes, she's one of those they're eating animals in Springfield, 399 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:04.359 Ohio people. From what I see that she writes, she's 400 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.640 just incendiary for the sake of being in cyndiary, it seems, 401 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.279
