FBI Dumps BIZARRE New Details About Trump Assassination Attempt. What Else Are They Hiding? · The Matt Walsh Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: From the moment that a 20-year-old loner somehow managed to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: shoot Donald Trump in the head at a pivotal moment
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in the presidential campaign, just before he's about to assume
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the GOP nomination and formally select his running mate, the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: official narrative has never made any sense whatsoever. There were
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: only two options. The first option was that the Secret
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Service was so utterly incompetent and so unbelievably lackadaisical with
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: its security measures that they somehow failed to secure a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: slightly sloped roof just 150 yards away with direct line
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of sight to the podium. They just never got around
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to it, even though they obviously noticed the rooftop during
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the walkthroughs before the rally. And not only that, the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Secret Service didn't bother looking at the roof at any
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: point during the rally, which is how Thomas Crooks was
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: able to get into position without being detected as a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: significant threat. As one Butler police officer put it in
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a conversation captured on body cam, quote, I told them,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: post-effing guys over there, why were we not on the roof? Now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: if you take this version of events at face value,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: then you would agree that unironically, the Secret Service as
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: an agency should have been disbanded immediately. Replace them with
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a random Boy Scout troop if you need to. Give
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: every kid a walkie-talkie and station them on the rooftops
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and instantly, for a lot less money presumably, Donald Trump
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: would have much better protection than he was receiving from
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: his Secret Service detail. The Boy Scouts wouldn't have the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: cool earpieces or the suits, but in all likelihood, they'd
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: be able to spot an assassin visibly running on the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: roof in plain view of everybody in the crowd. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we know this because the crowd did notice Thomas Crooks
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: long before he opened fire. The Secret Service supposedly didn't. Now,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the other option that's been on the table, of course,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is that the Secret Service, for some reason, allowed Thomas
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Crooks to open fire. And if you start thinking that through,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it starts to explain a lot of things. It would explain,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for example, why the Secret Service couldn't detect Crooks' drone,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: even though they had drone detection equipment that conveniently went
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: down while.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Crooks' drone was in the air.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: This is one of the elements of the assassination attempt
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that's rarely discussed, but it should be discussed. The Secret
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Service actually had a counter drone system at the rally,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: but according to the inspector general of DHS, it was, quote,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: manned by a single under-trained operator who did not test
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the system prior to the morning of the event. When
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the system malfunctioned, the operator spent several hours attempting to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: resolve the issue, during which time Thomas Crooks completed his
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: almost nine-minute drone flight undetected. That's the part of the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: story you may have heard. What's less well-known is that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: three days before the rally... The Secret Service agents assigned
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to protect Trump sent an email to the Secret Service's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Technical Security Division requesting an experienced drone operator. Now, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: email reads, quote, Good afternoon. Candidate Trump is expected to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: be exposed for the entirety of his remarks and will
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: be vulnerable to drone threats. Trump's details requesting the Technical
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Security Division provide an operator for the day of the event.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: That was sent on Wednesday, July 10th at 10.23 a.m.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And according to the inspector general, quote, we found no
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: evidence that technical security division members who received these requests
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: responded to the email. So yes, you heard that correctly.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They simply didn't respond to the email. And there was
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a second request, which was actually denied by a member
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of the technical security division, supposedly because the counter drone
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: operators were busy at the RNC, which was going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: take place a couple of days later. And when the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: inspector general interviewed the leader of the counter drone program
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: at the technical security division, He said that he tries
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to cover all outdoor venues and said he would have
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: probably done that trip in Butler, but he was never
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: made aware of the request. Now, none of these excuses
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: make any sense. There's no reason to ignore the email
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: from July 10th, obviously. There's also no reason to cite
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the RNC as an excuse since it was taking place
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: two days later. You would think that if the priority
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: was to protect Trump, who they assessed was vulnerable to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: drone attacks, They would have found a way to send
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the experienced anti-drone team, but they didn't do that. Apparently
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they didn't even tell the higher ups about it. Again,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: complicity makes sense of this, makes more sense really than
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the official narrative. Additionally, if the Secret Service was complicit,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it would also potentially explain why the Secret Service managed
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to deploy highly trained counter snipers for this rally when
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they hadn't used counter snipers at any of Trump's previous
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: rallies during the entire campaign. They couldn't send the anti-drone team,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but they were able to send the counter snipers. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that could make sense, theoretically, on this version of events,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: if they wanted to get rid of the assassin after
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the fact, so he couldn't talk. Now, if the Secret
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Service was complicit, it would also help explain why the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Secret Service director claimed that the agency had suddenly become
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: afraid of slightly sloped roofs, even though there are plenty
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of pictures of Secret Service agents being stationed on sloped roofs.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: including the counter sniper team at this very rally. You
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: can see the good slope, bad slope distinction there. It's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: kind of incredible to look at because the roof with
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the counter snipers is actually more sloped than the one
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that Thomas Crooks was on. And on top of that,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: when they were hosing down the roof after the shooting,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: FBI agents had no problem standing on it. But the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Secret Service director insisted, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that slightly sloped roofs are just too dangerous for Secret
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Service agents. This is now former Secret Service director Kimberly Cheadle.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Should that roof have been secure, period?
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: That building in particular has a sloped roof at its
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the decision was made to secure the building from inside.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, they secured the building from the inside. But apparently not,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: because in practical terms, it means they didn't secure the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: building at all. They allowed the sniper to climb on
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: top of a building full of cops simply because a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: slightly sloped roof was too dangerous. Now, it's not remotely coherent,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: but again, it all makes sense if someone inside the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Secret Service wanted to allow Thomas Crooks to take the shot.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And while we're at it, if the Secret Service deliberately
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: allowed Crooks to get into position, it would also explain
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: why they didn't have any meaningful radio contact with the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: local police who saw Crooks with a rifle on the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: rooftop early enough that Trump could have been removed from
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the stage. It would explain why Trump's detail included women
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: who weren't tall enough to shield him from gunfire or
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: draw their weapons properly. It would help explain why the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Secret Service ignored local police that Crooks, who the police photographed,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: was roaming around the rally site with a range finder.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And on and on and on.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: All this to say, the so-called conspiracy theory that the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Secret Service were involved somehow or that they took orders
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: from somebody in the Biden administration who wanted them to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: leave Trump exposed is a valid theory. It makes sense
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of the events that transpired.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: It just is. It just does.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: It's a conspiracy theory that makes the massive security failures
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: at Butler more comprehensible and more logical than the theory,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the official narrative. And therefore, it's incumbent on our government,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: especially now that Donald Trump's administration has been in office
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: for a long time, to provide as much transparency as possible.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: They need to disclose all the information they have about
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the assassination attempt in Butler. And in particular, they need
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to answer every outstanding question about Thomas Crooks himself. And
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: there are many questions along those lines. But instead, what's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: happening is that we're getting kind of drip fed a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: small number of disclosures that taken together make it More
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: likely that the assassination was the result of a wide-ranging
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: conspiracy within Joe Biden's government. So we're going to go
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: through all of the new revelations. We're also going to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: point out all the holes that remain in the official narrative,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: because no matter how much you've read about this case,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: odds are you're not aware.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Of most of them. And that's by design.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: That's why they're dripping it out slowly, letting it all
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: get kind of lost in the shuffles. Maybe the most
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: important new information, which comes from a recent FBI document dump,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is that on the afternoon before the assassination attempt, Crooks
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: went to Clareton Sportsman's Club Rifle Range in Pennsylvania to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: fire two guns, his AR and a, quote, older military
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: style rifle. Crooks was specifically practicing a 100 yard shot. Now,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: by itself, that's not unusual. Crooks became a member of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the club in August of 2023, less than a year
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: before the shooting. And he visited the range more than
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: 40 times, spent a variety of holidays at the range,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: including Christmas Day, Valentine's Day, Halloween. And as far as
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: everyone knew, he was doing all this alone. After all,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it's usually pretty difficult to find someone to go shooting
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: with you on every single major holiday. But according to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the FBI's investigation, on the day before the assassination attempt,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: camera footage at the range, quote, shows Crooks talking with
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: another unknown club member on the range. This member was
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the only other person on the rifle range. Now, what's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: so strange about this is that by all accounts, Crooks
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was a loner. He didn't have any friends. He wasn't
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: known to strike up conversations with strangers. His colleagues at
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a nursing home called him an odd young man, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: he rarely showed emotion or interacted with anyone else, according
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to his father. So who exactly was he talking with
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: at the range?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Was it a random stranger? Was it someone he knew?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: What were they talking about?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Now, it's clear the FBI thought this conversation at the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: gun range could be be significant. So according to this document,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the FBI retrieved two images of the unknown individual and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: images of the unknown individual's vehicle, but we have no
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: idea what, if anything, the FBI found.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: The FBI isn't telling us whether.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Or not they've determined the identity of this individual or
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: any involvement he might have or not have. Now, that's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a big problem because there's additional information to suggest that Crooks,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: despite being a creepy loner, had several other connections who
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: were interested in helping him acquire firearms for some reason.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: On his sub stack, Tom Elliott has been going through
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the FBI's latest document dump. And he came across this
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: piece of information, which the mainstream press is basically ignoring.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And it turns out that on May 25th, 2024, a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: person of interest who resembles the shooter was at the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Keystone Armory in Edinburgh, which.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Is in Pennsylvania, and was there for about an hour.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And he was, quote, accompanied by a white male believed
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to be around his mid-30s and another older white male
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: with a gray beard. The Thomas Crooks lookalike had booked.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: A 5 p.m.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Class in Mars, Pennsylvania that same day. And Mars is
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a short drive from Edinburgh. So it's very plausible it's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the same person. And again, if it is Crooks, that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: would be very interesting since he was a loner who,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: by all accounts, had no friends. So who might these
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: people be?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Well, we have no idea.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Once again, the FBI documents don't explain whether any follow
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: up investigation was conducted or what the FBI discovered. But
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: there are other pieces of information that suggest that Crooks
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: may have had some unusual contacts. And as you may remember,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the Oversight Project, which is part of the Heritage Foundation,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: managed to acquire cell phone data from a device tied
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: to Crooks' home. And according to that data, quote, Someone
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: who regularly visited Crooks' home and work also visited a
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: building in Washington, D.C., located in Gallery Place. This is
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the same vicinity of an FBI office on June 26, 2023. Now,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: first of all, we need to say something about how
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the Oversight Project acquired this data. Most people don't realize
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that you can do this, but it's actually very easy
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: for a private individual organization to obtain detailed records about
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: where your personal cell phone has been. for a very
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: long period of time, up to several years, actually.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: And here's how it works.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: On the open market, you can purchase mobile ads data
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: for specific geographical regions. And this mobile data is collected
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: by corporations that create the apps that you use on
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: your phone. And they sell this data to brokers for
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the purpose of selling ads, but it's also an easy
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: way to track people. All you have to do is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: set the GPS coordinates for Thomas Crooks' house, and you'll
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: learn the device ID of every phone that regularly goes
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to that house. And then you can ask the data
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: brokers where the device ID typically travels. In this case,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: according to the oversight project, the phone went from Crooks'
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: house to an area in Washington, D.C. that was close
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to an FBI field office. So keep this in mind
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about, you know, mass surveillance and cameras
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and so on. The device that you have in your
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: pocket is tracking you all the time in ways that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you probably don't realize. Every so often you ask an
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: employee at a store, where to find something, and instead
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of vaguely pointing toward an aisle somewhere, aisle 12 and disappearing,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: they actually walk you over and help you find it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: It's a small thing, but you remember it because they
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: went one step beyond what was required. And that kind
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of initiative is valuable in any business. You want people
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: who recognize what needs to be done and take action
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: without having to be chased down. And that same instinct
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: matters when you're hiring. The best candidates don't simply submit
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a resume and wait. They make an effort to show
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you why they want the job and why they might
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: be the right fit. With ZipRecruiter, candidates can tell you
• 14:09

  Speaker 1: the extended warranty. By the time they leave the store,

  Speaker 1: the phone is better protected than the income that paid
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: for it. That's a strange ordering of priorities. You know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a phone can be replaced. The income your household depends
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: on is considerably harder to replace, which is why life

• 16:01
  Speaker 1: reasons to be cautious about Heritage's reporting here. The location
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: data didn't actually point specifically to an FBI field office.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: It actually pointed to nearby restaurants. And the D.C.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Downtown area is relatively small, so there's a lot of
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: other reasons why Thomas Crooks or a family member might
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: have traveled to D.C.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: We really don't know.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: But together with all these revelations about people Crooks was
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: spending time with, from gun ranges to ammo shops, it's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: time we got some clarity from the FBI.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Who exactly are these people? Have you identified them? Why
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: or why not? Now, according to these.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Documents, there are other anonymous individuals connected to this case
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that we still know nothing about. This is from the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: New York Post. Quote, an anonymous donor paid for the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: cremation of President Trump's would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks. just days
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: after the deadly Butler, Pennsylvania, rally shooting. Anonymous donor paid
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: for cremation reads a note at the end of a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: summary of an interview the gunman's father, Matthew, conducted with
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: federal investigators. The addendum noted that Matthew was retired and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that his wife was on leave from work, suggesting the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: family couldn't come up with the money for his funeral arrangements.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Matthew explains in other parts of the federal records, viewed
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: by the Post, that he was unemployed at the time
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of the shooting.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Now, could this be innocuous? It could be.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe a family member paid for the cremation. But it's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: certainly strange since Crooks was released for cremation in around
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: 10 days with bullet fragments still lodged inside his body
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: before any independent congressional investigators could inspect the body. Clay Higgins,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the congressman from Louisiana, reported that he attempted to inspect
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Crooks' body on August 5th, but by that point it
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: was too late. No one told him Crooks would be cremated.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: The sheriff in the county corner had no idea. So
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Given how this looks, we should learn the identity of
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the person who paid for this cremation. It's been two years.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: There's no reason to keep the information secret, so it
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: should be released. And while we're at it, we need
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to know everything the FBI hasn't covered about the figure
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: known as Willie Teppas. Now, this is an individual who
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: was totally unknown to the public until a Tucker Carlson
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: documentary reported on his identity. As it turns out, Teppas
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: had communicated directly with Crooks on social media just before
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Crook's online footprint disappeared. And that's significant because in his
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: online posts, Tepes explicitly called for political assassinations in the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: United States. And he was so flagrant about it that
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: other users called him a fed. This is from a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: documentary from Citizen Commission, which is an account on X
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that's done an extraordinary amount of research into the assassination
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: attempt in Butler.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Watch.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: That Tucker Carlson's reporting raised that I really do think
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: needs to be answered is who this Willie Tepes guy is.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Because as soon as the would-be assassins switched over to
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: hating Donald Trump, you have this Willie Tepes guy in
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: the comments urging him to use political violence. And then
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: after that, suddenly, you don't hear anything from this assassin.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: You don't see any more online activity from this individual.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: It's really strange.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: Tepes began with 3D weapons-focused content. in August of 2021.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: He posted a picture of this gun and says the
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: police confiscated his previous prototype. By late 2022, he openly
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: called for violence, saying, quote, all I want for Christmas
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: is bloody revolution against the global elites, in response to
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: a post about U.S. politician Adam Schiff. He posted photos
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: of himself commenting that the higher-ups already have him on file.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: He also posted these videos, alleged to be in Oslo, Norway,
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: and he identifies himself as the person at the front
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: of the march. These marches strongly resemble activities coordinated by
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: the U.S.-based group Patriot Front. In January of 2024, a
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: user named Abu Aseh Allahan made an inarticulate threat against
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: the U.S., referencing the killing of General Soleimani in 2020.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: In response to this, Tepes explicitly says, quote, assassinations on
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: foreign soil are not just possible for the U.S. There
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: are lots of U.S. officials that can be targeted. It
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: does not really matter if they are further down the ladder.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: The point is that they live in fear. He uses
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: language and encourages others to, quote, take out the man
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: at the top and calls for, quote, killing tyrants. Due
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: to the constant and ongoing flow of his extreme posts,
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: Tepes continued to receive accusations of being a Fed. In
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: reference to another post about it, he said, quote, there
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: is a Fed in every chat. Lucky for me that
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: it is not illegal to advocate for bloody revolution in
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: another country than my own. Perhaps most chillingly of all,
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: on October 5th, 2025, Tepes wrote, quote, people who ask
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: you to contact them, when they just as easily could
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: contact you, are feds. This is how they avoid accusations
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: of entrapment. Both American and Russian intelligence does this. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: have chatted with both.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So Tepes is a strange figure who, by his own admission,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: has been in communication with American and Russian intelligence services.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: He develops a reputation for talking about political assassinations to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the point that other people think he's a fed. He's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: tied to a fringe group called the Nordic Resistance Movement,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and in August 2020, Crook's tagged this guy in a
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: post where he explicitly discusses the possibility of conducting assassinations.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: We'll put that up on the screen.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Quote, in my opinion, the only way to fight the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: government is with terrorism-style attacks. Track down any important people, politicians,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: military leaders, et cetera, and try to assassinate them. That's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Thomas Crooks speaking to Willie Teppes on YouTube using the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: username Tom Crooks. Now, there are only two other documented
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: communications from Crooks to Tepes, as reported by Miranda Devine.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: And you can see those communications on the screen right now.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: These are communications that the FBI claim didn't exist. They
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: flat out denied that Crooks had ever spoken to Tepes,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and they were wrong. This is from a Fox News
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: article dated November 2025. Reports have surfaced questioning Crooks' alleged
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: relationship with Antifa-linked individual William Tepes. The FBI told Fox News,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that there has never been any direct communication between Crooks
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and Teppes. Crooks posted on YouTube, Teppes is a Norwegian
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Nordic resistance member. He simply responded to content Crooks posted.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: According to Kash Patel said this, pointing to a comment
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Teppes made on a 2020 era video posted on the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: video sharing platform by Crooks. As for his online presence,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Bongino said previous FBI leadership initially downplayed his digital footprint.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The degree of his digital footprint was not messaged correctly
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: at all by prior leadership, Bongino said. So if you're
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: following this, in the same interview where they attacked the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Biden administration for lying about Crooks' online posts, we're getting
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: false information about Crooks' online posts. He did indeed speak
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: directly to Tepes.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: We have the screenshots.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: They're claiming that Tepes merely responded to Crooks and that
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: it was a one-way interaction, but that's not true. Crooks
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: spoke to Tepes directly. And they weren't talking about the weather.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: They were talking about murdering political figures in the United States.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: And more importantly, shortly after these interactions, Crooks goes totally dark.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Which would imply that if they carried on further conversations,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: which maybe they did, we don't know, they did so
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: in a way that might be difficult to track. And
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that's not far-fetched because in this latest FBI document dump,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: we learned that Crooks was using several encrypted email services.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: This is from Elliott's reporting again, quote, An analyst reviewing
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Crooks' phone found it had repeatedly accessed mail fence described
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: in the file as an encrypted email service hosted in
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Belgium between April 15th and July 8th, 2024 across what
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: appears to be four separate account IDs. On July 15th,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: two days after the shooting, FBI counterterrorism sent formal foreign
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: dissemination requests to two governments' names redacted, asking for any
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and all records on.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Accounts found on the device.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Representative Mike Waltz later said the accounts traced to Belgium,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: New Zealand, and Germany. What those governments sent back, if anything,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: is not contained in the document. Now, hearing all this,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you might conclude that, well, if Crooks was coordinating with
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Willie Tevis at all, there would have been no way
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: for the U.S.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Government to know about it. After all, these are just
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: random people on the.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Internet, even if it's true, as Tevis said, that it
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: attracted the attention of some intelligence services. But the narrative
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: gets a little more complicated when you look at the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: timeline concerning the Nordic resistance movement. This is from the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Citizen Commission's documentary, Watch.
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: Several other dates stand out when examining the timeline of
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: the Nordic resistance movement. On August 5th, 2020, Crooks and
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: Tepes reportedly interacted in a YouTube comment section. In April 2021,
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: Representative Elisa Slotkin said, a Democrat from Michigan and a
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: former CIA analyst, sent letters to the State Department, FBI,
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: and CIA advocating for the Nordic Resistance Movement to be
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: formally designated as a terrorist organization. In those letters, she
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: explicitly names the NRM, despite it being a relatively small
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: overseas organization with only a few hundred members. Then on
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: June 14, 2024, the U.S. State Department officially designated the
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: Nordic Resistance Movement as a specially designated global terrorist organization
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: during proceedings at the United Nations. That designation was officially
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: published into the Federal Register on July 9, 2024. Just
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: days later, President Trump survived the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So the Nordic Resistance Movement, a tiny group consisting of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a few hundred people at most, was suddenly attracting some
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: very high-level attention from the U.S.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Government.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And I would suggest that, in all likelihood, the CIA
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and FBI were monitoring online communications from members of this group. Certainly,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: you'd think that the CIA would notice if a member
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: of this group was openly talking about assassinating U.S. officials
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and trying to recruit U.S. citizens to participate in these assassinations.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: If not, our intelligence agencies are somehow worse than we
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: could have possibly imagined. It's an extremely small number of
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: people that we're talking about here. It's not like the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Nordic resistance movement has a million members. So you'd imagine
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that they'd be relatively simple to track. But the other
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: possibility is that someone in the U.S. government was aware
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of this grooming while it was taking place. Maybe Tepes
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: was an informant working with U.S. intelligence and he was
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: warning them about crooks. Or maybe someone in the U.S.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: government was actively encouraging Tepes to murder Donald Trump.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: We really have no idea.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, all the possibilities are on the table because, again,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: No one in the government has told us anything about Tappas,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: one way or another.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: They could release a statement tomorrow confirming that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: They've never heard of this guy, never interviewed him, never
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: even knew he existed until random people on the internet
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: discovered Crooks' social media accounts. In that case, they'd have
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to explain how they missed it, and a lot of
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: heads should roll, but they haven't even done that.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: They haven't done anything.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: In fact, more accurately, they've apparently been lying to us
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: about what they've known about Crooks' social media footprint. So
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: let's look at the timeline of what the FBI has said.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: In July of 2024, right after the assassination, the FBI
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: immediately gets into Crooks' phone, roughly 40 minutes after getting
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: at Quantico. They discover his online presence and his encrypted
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: messaging apps, including emails with foreign service providers. According to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Fox News, the FBI stated that the FBI examined, quote,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: 35 accounts linked to Crooks, including social media, bank, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: other online accounts.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: The FBI has been able to access all the accounts,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the official said.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: There's been reporting to inappropriately and incorrectly state that there
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: was encryption the FBI was not able to get into.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: That's not true.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: We've been able to get into every single account. So
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: they had total access, but they claim there was nothing
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: of note, even as other investigators publicly disagreed. This is
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: from New York Post, which actually has more detail in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the FBI's latest document dump. Quote, Doug Hagman said, whose
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: team of six other investigators have been working the case
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: for months and have interviewed more than 100 people. So
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: they also conducted extensive geofencing analysis of cell phones and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: tablets not belonging to Crooks that were found with him
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: at his home, at the rifle range where he took
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: target practice, at the rally, and at Bethel Park High School,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: where he graduated in 2022. We don't think he acted alone,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Hagman told the Post. This took a lot of coordination.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: In my view, Crooks was handled by more than one individual.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And he was used for this assassination attempt. And I
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't preclude the possibility that there were people at the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: rally itself helping him. Hagman said one of the electronic
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: devices geolocated with Crooks at several different places at the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: time of the shooting is still pinging today at Bethel
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Park High School. FBI officials who served under President Joe
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Biden accessed Crooks' phone. and his computer and his encrypted
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: messaging apps in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany, according to
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: current National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, a former GOP congressman. However,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: they've been very tight-lipped about what they found. So all
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: this is known to the FBI as of July 2024.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: In February 2025, right after inauguration, Trump demands all available
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: information about the assassination attempt. He told Miranda Devine in
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a phone call that he wanted, quote, every bit of
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: information about the two men who tried to murder him
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: during the campaign, quote, I want to find out about
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the two assassins. Why did the one guy have six
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: cell phones and why did the other guy have foreign apps?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: No more holding back because of Biden. I'm entitled to know.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: And they held it back long enough. A few months later,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: in May 2025, Trump told Bret Baier that he has
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: no new information and is relying on his appointees, including
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, although he suggested he didn't
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: fully trust the answers that he was getting.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: And I thought it was strange. You know, the one
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: guy had 18 cell phones. OK, I have a lot
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: of cell phones, but I have like two. You know,
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: I call that a lot. And I think I probably
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: make more calls than him. It's like that's all I do. And.
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: I had to, why does somebody have 18? Another one,
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: the first one, the one from Butler, he had three apps,
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: very unusual apps, and two of them were foreign apps.
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: And then he ends up with a white shoe lawyer,
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: meaning a super lawyer from Pittsburgh, you know, the big city.
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: And they live outside of Butler in a little place.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: Where do they get this lawyer that would represent IBM
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: and would represent ExxonMobil? But you're the president.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: Can't you find out?
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: No, no. I know. I know.
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: I'm relying on my people to tell me what it is.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: You know, we have deep-seated craziness in this country. And
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: I'm relying on my people. And so far, they— and they're.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: They're good.
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: But so far they, and in this case it's Secret Service,
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: they tell me it's fine. But it's a little hard
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: to believe, to be honest with you, okay? It's a
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: little bit hard to believe as I get that throbbing feeling.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: I get a little throbbing feeling.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Well, if you find out, we'd love to know.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: We continue to ask.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know.
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: And a lot of people ask us. It's a little
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: bit strange. We have incredible people in there now, so.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Now, two days after this interview, Kash Patel and Dan
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Bongino went on Fox News, and with a similar message,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to report. Patel suggests there's an ongoing prosecution
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to worry about, even though Thomas Crooks is dead. So
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: is there an accomplice on the loose? I mean, who
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: are we prosecuting? He didn't say, but it was strange.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: How come we don't have more information on the assassination
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: attempts on President Trump? There's two reasons. two open ongoing prosecutions.
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: So two of the investigations are obviously closed because the
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: individuals are dead, but there's two live prosecutions. And so
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: we can't get ahead of the federal court case. A
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: lot of that information will come out in the federal
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: court cases, but we have personally invested our time in
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: making sure that we have looked at all the, any
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: possible international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike. And we've
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: both been down to Quantico. We've both done the laboratory testing.
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: We've both seen the explosives analysis. We've both seen the
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: firearm and physically held it. We are all in on
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: these investigations. Are we going to be surprised at what
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: you learned?
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: You know what, Maria? Cash is not kidding.
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: We've been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget,
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: tendril of this case. One is actively in court right now.
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: So out of respect for the case, it's probably more
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: appropriate that I stay quiet on that. However, I'm not
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: going to tell people what they want to hear. I'm
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: going to tell you the truth. And whether you like
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: it or not is up to you. If there was
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: a big explosive there, there, right? Given my history as
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: a Secret Service agent and my personal friendship as a
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: director does with the president, give me one logical, sensible
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: reason we would not have If you can think of one,
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: there isn't. In some of these cases, the there you're
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: looking for is not there. And I know people, I
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: get it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: I understand.
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: It's not there. If it was there, we would have
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: told you.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: They may be right.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: It's quite possible there's no grand conspiracy, but that's not
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: really the point. The point is that there are clearly
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: relevant pieces of information that are being withheld from the public,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: including the identity of the man Crooks was speaking with
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: on the day before the shooting at the gun range.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: The reason the FBI claimed Crooks never spoke to Willie Teppas,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the identity of the person who paid for Crooks' cremation,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: the identity of the people paying for Crooks' parents, high-profile attorneys.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the people Crooks was speaking with on those encrypted apps,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the reason the body was released for cremation so quickly,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and so on. These are all details that, according to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: FBI's own statements, the FBI has information on, but they're
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: not providing them to the public. Instead, as of May 2025,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: they were simply telling us to trust them and that
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: nothing important was being withheld. Fast forward to July of 2025,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: and Ron Johnson, the senator from Wisconsin who chairs the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, subpoenas Kash Patel, saying the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: FBI has, quote, repeatedly failed to produce to the subcommittee
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: records and information critical to its investigation. According to Johnson, quote,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: for example, following a briefing on March 21st, 2025 by
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: FBI forensic laboratory personnel, the subcommittee requested copies of all
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the records, including photographs presented during the briefing. To date,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the FBI has failed to produce to the subcommittee these
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: records and photographs. Further, on June 4th, 2025, after issuing
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: numerous requests to the Pennsylvania State Police, the committee subpoenaed
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: PSP for records related to the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: During a phone call with staff on July 1, 2025,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: PSP informed subcommittee and committee staff that PSP did not
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: possess certain records responsive to the June 4 subpoena, such
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: as security camera footage. According to PSP, the FBI possesses
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: all security camera footage obtained in connection to the July 13th,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: 2024 assassination attempt. For nearly a year, the subcommittee has
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: attempted to obtain these records and other information, including the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: aforementioned security camera footage. However, to date, the FBI has
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: failed to produce the requested records. But the stonewalling continued.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: In September of 2025, Kash Patel again claims, this time
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: under oath, that there's some mysterious trial happening of someone
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: that prevents the disclosure of more information about Thomas Crooks.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: This is from the Daily Mail, quote, FBI Director Cash
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Patel gave a curious answer when asked by a congressman
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: to provide details about President Donald Trump's near-assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: During a hearing at Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Republican Texas
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Representative Wesley Hunt noted that he had asked Patel's predecessor,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Christopher Wray, a very detailed question about Thomas Matthew Crooks,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the shooter responsible for the assassination attempt on President Trump's life.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Hunt then added that he would like to resubmit the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: question and asked if Patel would answer them. Patel responded
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: that he could commit to providing a response as soon
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: as the trial was over. But there is no trial
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: for Crooks, as he died shortly after firing his shots
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: at then-candidate Donald Trump. We have multiple references to a trial,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and no one knows who's on trial. That's very strange.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Then in December of 2025, Ron Johnson told Miranda Devine
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that the FBI still hasn't been providing any information and
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that he's relying on subpoenas to telecom companies instead.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: What is going on there? And why did you have
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: to subpoena Kash Patel's FBI in July to get any information?
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: It dawned on me, the older you get, the faster
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: time flies, right?
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, we're coming up on the
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt. And you start realizing, well,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: we haven't gotten this information. Again, my assumption was, and
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: it's always dangerous to assume.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: My assumption was, well, President Trump takes office.
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: You know, he's obviously interested in this. He's going to
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: make sure that his FBI director and people around him
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: are going to get to the bottom of this.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I don't like duplicating effort. No. If James Comer's doing
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: something in the House, let them do it.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: I've got... I've always described myself as a mosquito in
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: a nudist colony. It's a target rich environment. So I
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: got plenty of things to keep me busy.
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: A lot of people investigate this. But all of a
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: sudden I realized, I mean, here we are a year later.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard a peep out of this. We still
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: don't know about, you know, what do his social media
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: accounts say to me? Why haven't we unlocked this information?
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Why doesn't America know more about it? Because again, there's
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: some odd things about it.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: You know, him appearing in commercials for, was it Black Rock? And,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: you know, just like the other.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: You know, potential assassin down in Palm Beach. Like, I mean,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: it's just bizarre stuff. I mean, explain this to us.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: And didn't he also practice guns at the range that
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: a lot of federal officials were at?
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Federal agents. So there's information we want to get from,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: But why did you have to subpoena the FBI? Kash
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Patel doesn't seem like he's really on top of things,
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: or has he been captured by the deep state?
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Any views? Again, My subpoena is this administration, our family subpoenas,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: just kind of prompt action. Part of the problem, I'm
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: highly sympathetic with this, whether it's Bobby Kennedy in HHS
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: or Pam Bondi or Kash Patel. I mean, it is
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: a deep state. It's a pervasive deep state. It's a
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: really deep, deep state, okay?
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: And it's populated primarily by partisan leftists.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: So have you got anything on Crooks?
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: No. Still no? We are hoping the telecommunication companies work
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: with us. But no, we haven't really uncovered things.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: So why is that? I mean, there are so many
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: theories about Thomas Crooks. 20 years old. Did he act alone?
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: I can't answer that question.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: It's shocking that you can't answer that question.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Well, sorry.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: No, but I mean, it's shocking that we don't know.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, 18 months later.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, very early on, and I think this
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: was a news outlet, might have been New York Post.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, it did a geo positioning search on Crooks'
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: phone and kind of like that family circus deals, you know,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: all over the place, you know, the FBI headquarters. It's like,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: what's pulling off here?
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Now, somewhere in this timeline, while Congress was getting stonewalled
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: by the FBI, an anonymous source got Crooks' phone number
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: from FOIA request and was able to hack into Crooks'
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: account where he found that, in fact, Crooks did have
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: a prolific social media footprint. And this revelation totally undermined
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the official FBI narrative that Crooks had no social media footprint,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: which Kash Patel either didn't know about or lied about
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: in that interview we played earlier. And now this week,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: as the FBI finally starts releasing documents, Trump is flat
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: out saying that the assassination attempt and the cover up
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: was a Democrat plot. Quote, everybody knows the the crooked
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden FBI didn't do what they should have with
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: respect to the lunatic who shot me in Butler, Pennsylvania.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: By the time I got into office on January 20th,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: most of the information was missing, altered, corrupted or gone.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: New info was just found. Why wasn't it seen long ago?
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: This was all a Democrat plot to get me out
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: of the election that failed. Dirty cop Christopher Wray should
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: pay a price for the way he handled this assassination attempt,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: and certainly for the things he said.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: God bless America. That, by the way, this is.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Not being treated as major headline news. The president of
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the United States just flat out said that there was
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: a government conspiracy among the Democrats to assassinate him. That's
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing that you think there'd be some follow-ups.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well, we don't just say that and
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: then move on. And if there's going to be any
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: kind of follow-up, which it should be a lot more
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: than a follow-up. If the president of the United States
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: is directly accusing the Democrat party at the highest levels
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: of trying to kill him, then we need a lot
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: more than a follow-up. There should be major investigations, arrests.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it should be This should be treated as
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: a five alarm fire, obviously. But realistically, we're a couple
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: months away from not being able to do any of
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: that because we're probably going to lose control of Congress.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's almost guaranteed at this point, although no
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: one on the right wants to admit it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: But it's true.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: And when that happens, congressional subpoena power is gone. Democrats
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: will spend all their time investigating Trump, filing fake impeachment charges,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: packing the court, making Puerto Rico a state. destroying the
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: United States as we know it. You know, they get
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: right back to what they were doing before, before they
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: lost power. And we are running out of time for
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: an actual accounting of what happened in Butler and also
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the Ryan Ruth assassination. There's plenty of foreign connections there
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: If you release all the.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Information and it turns out that Dan Bongino was right, then,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: you know, that's great news for the country.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: We should celebrate it.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: But if the information suggests something else, that deep state
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: operatives tried to murder Donald Trump, as Trump himself is
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: now indicating, because they knew he was about to win
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: the election, then we need a total non-negotiable purge of
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: the U.S. federal government immediately. Think of how differently things
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: could have played out. Just one day before the Trump
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: assassination attempt, the FBI arrested an Iran-connected operative named Asif Merchant,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: saying that he was plotting to kill Donald Trump. Now,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: if Trump had actually been killed in Butler, it's conceivable
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: that the deep state would have found a way to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: blame Iran to say the shooting was tied to Merchant's
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: conspiracy somehow. They could then install someone like Nikki Haley
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: as a GOP nominee, totally bypassing J.D. Vance, because remember,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: he hadn't been nominated yet.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: And then we could be.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Living through a host of foreign wars right now, even
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: bigger and more destructive than the ones we're currently experiencing.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe we'd have boots on the ground in Tehran. It's
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: impossible to know, really, but it's also not terribly far-fetched
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: given the sheer magnitude of the deception we've all been
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: subjected to over the past two years. That deception must end.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: The federal government must tell us everything they know about
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Thomas Crooks because it's very clear they know a lot. Otherwise,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: the next time a threat to the establishment runs for office,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: they'll do the exact same thing.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: They'll shoot him in the head. in front of millions
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: of people.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: And barring another miracle, the second time around, they probably
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: won't miss.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. We'll talk to you on Monday. Have
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: a great weekend.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: Godspeed.
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: Every significant movement in history has started with protesting.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: You're a traitor!
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Uncle Tom! This is our generation's civil rights!
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what the protest is about.
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: Bingo!
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Given the current climate, should a figure as polarizing as
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus?
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Uh, can you hear me okay? Saunders is a close
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: personal friend of Chancellor Freeman.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: This is a decision I cannot fight.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Islam will conquer the West. As-salamu alaykum. Are we paying attention?
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: They've taken over the building. They're downstairs and they've blocked
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: the doors.
• 45:54
  Speaker 9: I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: We cannot run and hide.
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: Muhammad is the messenger of God.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: There is no God but Allah. What do you say
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: we turn those SOBs.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Into a fine red mist?
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: As we move, one man will cover while the other
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: guys go.
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: They call that leap project. Stretch them out and listen.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: You need a course in safe weapons handling.
