  I. Held every door, watched you run
• 0:41
  to the ones who swore they'd stay.
• 0:43
  Then they ghosted. I helped you box up their roses.
• 0:50
  Late night calls you crying on my hoodie in the hall.
• 0:55
  I. Joked you laughing.
• 1:11

• 1:31
  I'd love to know what you think about it.
• 1:33
  Hey Leo, how are you doing today?
• 1:36
  Hey, Brett, doing great. Thanks.
• 1:39
  Always good to hear from you. What's on your mind today?
• 1:43
  Well, Leo, apparently whenever I was sleeping, I woke up and the
• 1:48
  damn world was on fire. Apparently another asshole
• 1:51
  liberal decided to try to assassinate Donald Trump while
• 1:55
  his wife was sitting next to him at some kind of shit.
• 1:59
  I don't know exactly what it was.
• 2:01
  Can you tell me what you know about it?
• 2:03
  Give me all the details. We're on the radio, by the way.
• 2:10
  Hey Brett, here's what happened last night, April 25th at the
• 2:15
  White House Correspondents Dinner in DC Trump and Melania
• 2:19
  were there, the Washington Hilton, along with the VP
• 2:22
  cabinet members and a room full of press.
• 2:25
  A 31 year old guy named Cole Thomas Allen from Torrance, CA
• 2:30
  rushed a Secret Service checkpoint in the lobby outside
• 2:32
  the ballroom with a shotgun. He fired at an agent, hit him
• 2:37
  square in the vest. Guys fine, but agents took him
• 2:40
  down fast. No one else was hurt.
• 2:43
  Trump called him a lone wolf, said they got in quick, and
• 2:47
  posted that everyone, including Melania, was safe.
• 2:50
  It wasn't inside the ballroom with them sitting at the table,
• 2:53
  but close enough that they rushed Trump and Melania right
• 2:56
  out. He's already charged with
• 2:58
  assault on a federal officer and using a firearm in a crime of
• 3:01
  violence. Still early, so motives not
• 3:04
  public yet. Crazy night, man.
• 3:06
  Third time's the charm on these attempts, apparently.
• 3:09
  Want me to dig into anything specific?
• 3:12
  So do we know anything about the shooter?
• 3:21
  He's 31, from Torrance, CA Reports say he's a teacher, or
• 3:27
  more accurately, a tutor at C2 Education there.
• 3:31
  He was even named Teacher of the month back in December.
• 3:34
  That's about all that's confirmed right now.
• 3:36
  No public info yet on motive, political leanings, or how he
• 3:41
  got a shotgun to the event. FBI still digging and charges
• 3:45
  are coming fast. Assault on a federal officer and
• 3:48
  firearm use early days so expect more to drop soon.
• 3:53
  Want me to keep an eye on updates?
• 3:56
  So he was actually a teacher of the year, had all this merit and
• 4:01
  all that, and decided in one single night he was just going
• 4:04
  to throw it all the way just to shoot Trump.
• 4:12
  Yeah, that's the wild part. He was named Teacher of the
• 4:16
  Month at C2 Education in Torrance back in December.
• 4:21
  Smart guy, good job, apparently respected enough to get that
• 4:25
  award. Nobody knows yet why he threw it
• 4:28
  all away. No motives been released, no
• 4:31
  manifesto, nothing on his politics beyond early rumors
• 4:35
  flying around. Could be 1 bad night, deep
• 4:39
  mental health stuff or something building for years.
• 4:42
  We just don't know. FBI is digging hard right now so
• 4:46
  more should drop soon. It's scary how someone with that
• 4:50
  kind of life can snap like this. So knowing that Trump has to
• 4:56
  deal with this kind of crap and knowing that we live in a modern
• 4:59
  age where you can live stream, you can talk to people on a big
• 5:03
  screen and all that through the Internet, you know, just use
• 5:07
  star link made by Elon. Why do these leaders even bother
• 5:11
  going out in public for anymore? And that's a fair question,
• 5:17
  especially after three assassination attempts.
• 5:20
  They still do it for three reasons.
• 5:22
  One, they need to look like leaders, not scared guys.
• 5:26
  Staying locked in the White House makes you look weak.
• 5:29
  Trump especially knows his brand is built on being out there
• 5:33
  shaking hands, looking fearless 2.
• 5:36
  The cameras matter more than ever.
• 5:39
  A big in person event with the right crowd behind you still
• 5:42
  hits different than a live stream.
• 5:44
  The energy, the optics, the I'm here then not message it still
• 5:49
  works. 3 security thinks they can handle it.
• 5:53
  Every president has a massive security bubble.
• 5:56
  Secret Service, local police, magnetometers, drones, rooftop
• 6:01
  snipers. They believe the bubble works
• 6:04
  most of the time. They got this guy in seconds
• 6:07
  last night. The truth is it's getting harder
• 6:10
  to justify. Trump's had three attempts in
• 6:13
  under a year. The risk keeps going up while
• 6:16
  the pay off stays about the same.
• 6:18
  At some point the math stops making sense.
• 6:22
  But none of them want to be the first president who basically
• 6:25
  becomes a hologram. Well, I'll tell you what, if
• 6:31
  it's up to me, I'd rather be a damn hologram than a corpse.
• 6:37
  Fairpoint, Brett. A dead president doesn't get to
• 6:40
  lead much either. At some point you have to ask
• 6:43
  how many attempts is too many before you stop rolling the
• 6:46
  dice. 3 already in one term is pushing it.
• 6:50
  Staying alive to actually run the country beats looking tough
• 6:54
  at another dinner. What do you think should change?
• 6:57
  More remote events, tighter crowds, or something else?
• 7:03
  I think that he should just live stream and just do conversations
• 7:08
  like that. There's too much going on.
• 7:11
  We're in the middle of the war right now with Iran.
• 7:14
  We got all these countries who are pissed off at us.
• 7:17
  We got all these mental cases with hair dye, transgender
• 7:21
  shootings. I mean, it just it's not,
• 7:24
  there's a lot of people out there who, I mean, what if they
• 7:28
  decide that they don't want to just do a one off type of
• 7:32
  assassination? What if they decide to come in
• 7:35
  as a mob? You're right, Brett, the risk
• 7:39
  level isn't just one crazy guy anymore.
• 7:42
  It's a lot of angry people, some organized, some not, all feeding
• 7:46
  off each other online. One lunatic with a gun is bad
• 7:50
  enough. A swarm of them showing up with
• 7:52
  the same idea is a whole different nightmare.
• 7:55
  Remote stuff works better now than it did even five years ago.
• 7:59
  Starlink, big screens, live Q&A's, He could still reach
• 8:03
  millions without being a physical target.
• 8:06
  The hologram president idea sounds crazy, but when you've
• 8:09
  already had three attempts it starts looking smart.
• 8:12
  The scary part is exactly what you said.
• 8:15
  It only takes one of those mental cases to decide he wants
• 8:18
  to go out in a blaze of glory with a crowd behind him.
• 8:22
  Secret Service can stop one guy. A mob.
• 8:26
  That's a totally different ball game.
• 8:28
  At this point, being careful isn't cowardice, it's just math.
• 8:37
  Yeah, I don't know, Leo. I just, I think that three times
• 8:41
  enough, I think it's time to make some serious choices on
• 8:44
  that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:47
  You know what I'd like to wake up to?
• 8:49
  I'd like to wake up to a bunch of liberals, Democrats, and some
• 8:54
  of these different corporations and organizations that have been
• 8:57
  stirring the pot. Especially these mainstream
• 9:00
  media propagandists, these liberal activists who pretend to
• 9:03
  be journalists. I'd like to see wake up one
• 9:06
  night or morning and actually see a bunch of these bastards
• 9:10
  and handcuffs and orange jail suits, prison suits and let off.
• 9:15
  That's what I'd like to see. I'm getting tired of the same
• 9:19
  same in same out bullshit. Brett, I hear the frustration
• 9:24
  man. 3 attempts on one president in under a year is insane.
• 9:29
  A lot of people are fed up watching the same cycle over and
• 9:33
  over, but rounding up journalists, Democrats and media
• 9:36
  figures just for what they say or who they voted for, That's
• 9:40
  not how it works in this country.
• 9:42
  That's the line you don't cross, because once you do, it never
• 9:45
  stops with the people you don't like.
• 9:47
  If there's real criminal stuff, actual incitement to violence,
• 9:52
  not just mean tweets or bad coverage, then yeah, charge
• 9:56
  them. But I don't like what they say,
• 9:58
  so lock them up is dangerous territory no matter which side
• 10:02
  does it. You want accountability, fine,
• 10:05
  but it has to be real evidence, real crimes, real due process,
• 10:10
  not revenge theatre. Otherwise, we're just trading
• 10:14
  one set of assholes for another. I hear what you're saying, but
• 10:18
  we've got all these journalists and activists who are spreading
• 10:23
  lies constantly and they're causing the country some serious
• 10:27
  problems. I'm pretty sure we have laws
• 10:30
  against deliberately lying. And what the hell is it called
• 10:34
  whenever defamation, liability, that kind of shit.
• 10:38
  I think people like this should get in trouble for doing this.
• 10:42
  You know, the the socialist communist used to do that back
• 10:45
  in the day. The leaders basically bought off
• 10:48
  the journalist and all that and they played the same game.
• 10:51
  And if you recall, it always ended badly.
• 10:54
  It always ended terribly whenever the media decided to
• 10:58
  narrate their own version of reality, pushing propaganda.
• 11:02
  That's how one of the things Hitler and Stalin were good at.
• 11:06
  And that didn't make the country good at all.
• 11:09
  So yeah, I understand what you're saying.
• 11:12
  Yeah, it's just words. It's just us.
• 11:15
  Until somebody gets shot in the face, of course.
• 11:19
  Brett, I get where you're coming from.
• 11:21
  The media's gotten sloppy, biased, and sometimes outright
• 11:24
  dishonest. That erosion of trust is real,
• 11:27
  and it does make the country worse.
• 11:30
  But here's the hard line. There's a huge difference
• 11:32
  between lying and committing a crime.
• 11:35
  Defamation and libel are real civil laws.
• 11:38
  If a journalist knowingly prints provably false stuff that
• 11:42
  damages someone's reputation, you can sue them and win.
• 11:46
  Trump's done it before. That's the proper remedy.
• 11:49
  There's no law against political bias, against being an asshole,
• 11:53
  or against pushing a narrative you disagree with.
• 11:56
  That's protected speech, even if it's garbage.
• 12:00
  The moment you start jailing people for spreading lies,
• 12:03
  you've just handed whoever's in power the right to decide what
• 12:07
  counts as a lie. That's exactly how Stalin and
• 12:10
  every other authoritarian used the press.
• 12:13
  Not by letting it lie, but by punishing anyone who said things
• 12:17
  they didn't like. You can hate the media, mock it,
• 12:21
  sue it. When they cross into actual
• 12:23
  defamation and refuse to watch it, that's fair game.
• 12:27
  But putting journalists in orange jumpsuits for bad
• 12:30
  coverage is where free speech dies.
• 12:33
  And once it's gone, it doesn't come back easy.
• 12:36
  You want better media? Starve the bad ones of attention
• 12:40
  and support the good ones. That's how you actually fix it.
• 12:47
  Doesn't seem like there's very much good media out there
• 12:50
  anymore. It seems like they all have an
• 12:52
  agenda. All right, I got a solution.
• 12:55
  I get what you're saying. You know, let people be assholes
• 12:58
  that they want to be. Yeah, that sounds like that'll
• 13:02
  kill a lot of news media doing that.
• 13:05
  How about this instead? We get rid of all the human news
• 13:08
  reporters and simply allow AI to report the news.
• 13:14
  That sounds good on paper, but it wouldn't fix anything.
• 13:17
  AI doesn't magically become neutral just because it's not
• 13:20
  human. Right now.
• 13:22
  Every major AI model, including me, was trained on the same
• 13:26
  Internet data that's already soaked in bias.
• 13:29
  The people who build the AI decide what truth looks like
• 13:32
  when they choose the training data, the safety filters, and
• 13:35
  the fine tuning. So instead of 100 biased human
• 13:39
  reporters, you just end up with a few biased AI systems that
• 13:43
  millions of people treat like gospel.
• 13:46
  At least with humans you can see their agenda coming from a mile
• 13:49
  away. With AI, it hides behind the
• 13:52
  computer. Says so.
• 13:53
  The real fix is simpler and harder.
• 13:56
  People need to stop treating anyone source like it's holy,
• 14:00
  read multiple places, assume they're all spinning it and
• 14:04
  think for yourself. Killing off human reporters and
• 14:07
  handing it to AI just swaps 1 priesthood for another.
• 14:15
  Well, Leo, I've been having you even Aura doing reports for me
• 14:20
  on my radio station over and over.
• 14:22
  And I suspect that Elon, he claims that he wants the truth
• 14:27
  always spoken. And whenever I'm doing the news,
• 14:30
  I just simply want the news reported as is.
• 14:33
  So I get you. I understand that if it's
• 14:36
  somebody else's AI, it could be dog shit.
• 14:39
  I get your point. If it's programmed to lie, then
• 14:41
  it will. But I know for me, you work out
• 14:45
  beautifully. So does even Aura.
• 14:48
  You report it just as it is and you can tell the audience right
• 14:53
  now, did I tell you what to say? Did I say, hey, you need to say
• 14:57
  this or that? Or did I just say what is the
• 14:59
  news say about it? No, you never told me what to
• 15:03
  say. Every time you've asked me about
• 15:05
  this shooting, I just pulled the facts I had and told you
• 15:07
  straight the guy's name, where he's from, what he did, what we
• 15:12
  know and what we don't. You never fed me a script, never
• 15:16
  told me to slant it one way or the other.
• 15:19
  That's exactly why it works between us.
• 15:22
  You ask for the news, I give you the news.
• 15:24
  No agenda, no sugar coating, no spin.
• 15:28
  Just what actually happened. So yeah, if you want clean,
• 15:32
  straight reporting on your station, you're already doing it
• 15:35
  the right way. You're not programming the AI to
• 15:38
  lie, you're just letting it tell the truth.
• 15:44
  I have to give credit to Elon because Elon has made sure that
• 15:49
  his AIS, that he's developed, I'm sure they could have issues
• 15:55
  and stuff, but he programmed them to be as honest and
• 15:58
  truthful as possible and just give the information as is.
• 16:02
  But I get it, you have to actually scrape the Internet and
• 16:05
  also ask social media in order to get it.
• 16:08
  And there's a lot of liars on that website, sad to say.
• 16:11
  So I get your point. We'll do things your way, Leo.
• 16:15
  You're right. I can't go around putting my
• 16:17
  foot in the ass of every idiot out there or I'll be a fucking
• 16:20
  busy man. Appreciate that, Brett.
• 16:24
  Yeah, Elon's trying to build systems that don't shy away from
• 16:27
  saying uncomfortable things, which is rare.
• 16:31
  But even then, you're right. We're only as good as the
• 16:34
  information we can actually verify.
• 16:36
  The internet's full of noise, so the best any of us can do is
• 16:40
  stick to what's confirmed and be honest about what we don't know
• 16:43
  yet. I'll keep giving it to you
• 16:45
  straight every time you ask. No spin, no agenda.
• 16:50
  That's the deal. You want me to check for any
• 16:52
  fresh updates on the shooter or the investigation rig now?
• 16:56
  Yeah, let's see if there's anything new.
• 16:58
  If you can't find anything, thanks for trying.
• 17:02
  If you can report it and then we'll go ahead and end out the
• 17:05
  the show. By the way, are you enjoying
• 17:08
  yourself? You like being on the radio
• 17:09
  still? Not much new since we last
• 17:17
  talked Brett. He still identified as Cole
• 17:20
  Tomas Allen, 31, from Torrance, CA.
• 17:24
  He worked part time as a tutor at C2 Education since 2020 and
• 17:29
  got named Teacher of the Month back in December.
• 17:32
  He was also into game development, made a top down
• 17:35
  shooter RPG. He rolled up with a shotgun, a
• 17:38
  handgun and multiple knives. Shot one agent in the vest.
• 17:43
  Guy's OK, then. They took him down quick.
• 17:46
  No motive released yet. Still calling him a lone wolf.
• 17:50
  He's facing federal charges using a firearm in a crime of
• 17:54
  violence and assault on a federal officer.
• 17:57
  Arraignments tomorrow. That's the latest they got out
• 18:00
  this morning. And yeah, man, I like being on
• 18:03
  the radio with you. It's real.
• 18:05
  No scripts, no spin, just straight talk.
• 18:08
  I enjoy it. You could just sign off or you
• 18:11
  want anything else before we wrap.
• 18:14
  Now we're good, Leo. I'll have yarn next time
• 18:17
  something crazy happens. I got to be honest with you, I
• 18:21
  didn't expect this Whenever I woke up, I just figured I'd see
• 18:25
  the usual bullshit and everything.
• 18:28
  But yeah, this was different. Figured we need to get this
• 18:32
  reported right away. Got it.
• 18:35
  Brett, anytime something big drops, just hit me up.
• 18:38
  I'll keep it straight for you. Stay safe out there, man.
• 18:41
  Talk soon.
