0:00 Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite. I am your host, Jim Chapman, and this is a special drop. I want you to note that tomorrow's schedule drop will drop as usual at midnight tonight. So, as you may know by this point, there is news out of Pennsylvania, Butler, Pennsylvania to be specific, where former President Donald Trump has been the victim of an attempted assassination. He was graised, but he is safe, he is well. An audience member was killed in this shooting, and two others as of this recording, are in critical condition. I'm gonna warn you before I get into this podcast today maybe a little rougher than what you're used to hearing from me. A lot of what I'm gonna say today is absolutely unscripted, absolutely off the cufflutely from the heart. I'm going to stick to facts today. I'm going to stick to what I know, but I will opine on a few things that do not seem right to me.
1:12 So, as I said, this rally took place yesterday in Butler, Pennsylvania. It was supposed to be Trump's last campaign stop before the Republican National convention. It was a packed, crowded, tens of thousands of people. And this was a swing state, right, Pennsylvania always plays a part in the presidential election, and he was set to deliver an unbelievable speech. He was then going to take a trip to Milwaukee to officially receive that GOP nomination from the Republican Party. Okay, so I'm going to take you to one PM and doors to that rally side open. I want to tell you a little bit about out that rally site. It was rural, it was actually a fairgrounds. It is actually a fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania. It's surrounded by buildings, industrial buildings, most of them with metal roofs, things like that. That's going to play a key role into what I'm about to tell you today. In those fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania, they served as a community gathering place for many, many years since the nineteen forties, mostly four farm shows and things like that. And when they would have like you know, state fair type events, they served as a fairground. Trump was actually
2:45 scheduled to speak at five PM, but he was late. He did not actually hit the stage until six pm. No word as to why, but hey, tens of thousands of Trump supporters that in mind degree heat, no problem. They were there to hear Trump speak. And when he got up there, he got up there. At six oh three pm, Trump arrives and takes the stage to God Bless the US eighth, the song by Lee Greenwood. This is typical for his rallies. He spends a couple of minutes amping up the crowd as only Donald Trump can do, shaking hands, that kind of thing. He has on a white shirt, a navy blue suit jacket, no tie, and his famous Maga hat. Load to his brow because the sun was shining. It was hot ninety plus degrees out there.
3:43 At six oh five pm he started his speech and at six' ten pm he pivots to his right and he starts describing a chart showing immigration statistics on a big screen. At six point twelve pm, I'm gonna play you a clip right now. This is what was heard and this was the scene as it took place. Something that said, take a look at what happened over observed. Spare was there? Hold on when you're ready? On you ready?
4:42 How already are we ready? It was sho good down, shoot us down. I'm a good movie. Let me rick there, come, well, let me get my shoe. Can let me get my shoes? Got I'm sorry, I got something. Let me get my shoes. Soap, hold on your head, bloody, so we gotta go to the clus. Let me get I'll tell me. Wait. So by now you've seen that clip. I know you just heard that clip as well. Sometimes when you're listening and there's not a visual in front of you, you'll pick up on sounds and things like that that you may not have picked up on when you've seen the video. And just to talk to you a little bit about what I saw and what I felt. It was an absolute showing of resilience and strength by Donald Trump during that time, and this was under the absolute worst
6:18 of circumstances. He managed to stop the Secret Service as they were escorting him out of a dangerous scene, saying to them, wear my shoes and then saying wait, wait, putting his right fist in the air with blood covering his face because it was very clear he had been hit, and mouthed the words fight, fight repeatedly in the crowd breaking out in chance of USA USA. The American flag being waved in the air above him as that picture that has become so famous now of Trump with blood just streaming down the side of his cheek, his fist in the air, and a beautiful blue sky in that American flag in the background. If that doesn't give you chills, I don't know what would. And look, I don't care about your politics, whether you're Democrat, Republican, independent, I don't give a fuck whatever your opinion is on all of that. If that don't give you chills, you ain't breathing. I am infuriated right now. I'm angry over what has been
7:49 done to this man. Yeah, he's got character flaws. All of us do somewhere. What he did after that bullet hit him. He don't know how many assassins are in that crowd. He gets up and he says, I want to talk to my people, and he looks at that audience and he says, fight, fight, man. That's tough. And I don't like to get ultra Democrat Republican on this podcast. I really don't. If you're a Democrat and you want to vote Democrat, vote Democrat. If you're a Republican you want to vote Republican, vote Republican. But regardless of what party you're in. This can't stand. This is not who we are, is it? So he gets escorted out by Secret Service after that, And I don't know about y'all, but the first thing on my mind was, how in the hell did that just happen. Look, it's been said a lot they're gonna kill him, They're gonna kill him, but nobody really thought it was gonna happen, did you. Tucker Carlson on his podcast just oh it might have been a week ago, said that's the next option. They're
9:22 running out of things to do. Now. I want to address something real quick. You know how social media is, and people on the Democratic side of things are panicking right now, big time. They're panicking because this type of thing. Unless you are a staunch I'm so left I'm gonna fall off a cliff lefty. You're gonna vote for Trump in this election. This pisses you off. Even if you're a Democrat. This should piss you off right now. Number one, because it's not who we are. But number two because likely Trump is going to win by Reagan Mondell numbers. He may get forty eight out of fifty states. Now, so personally, I don't think this was a big Democratic plan. Why do I say that, Well, this is about the worst thing you could have happen if you're a Democrat, because not only did you fire up Donald Trump's base, you fired up independence, you fired up moderates, You fired up people that weren't going to vote because they weren't going to vote Democrat, but they weren't going to vote Republican because maybe they were more on the DeSantis side of the Republicans. But you just tried to assassinate not only the leading candidate for the Republican Party and within the next few days will be the nomination for the Republican Party, but you
10:58 also tried to assassinate a former president of the United States. Y'all. That's serious. That's very serious. What if that bullet would have hit one more millimeter over get it blown his head completely off. I'm gonna tell you what would have happened. That was an AR fifteen rifle in this country would have never been the same and it would be a civil war likely. This is my opinion. It's a lot people I don't think are grasping how serious this really was. I want to address some of the things that I'm seeing on social media from people trying to spin this situation a little bit. I've seen comments such as it was an inside job. If you're one of those people that think that, please do not put that on social media because you absolutely look like a moron. The best sniper on God's green Earth cannot put a bullet such as one that is fired from an AR fifteen on someone's ear without killing him. There's no one that is that good of a shot, No one, period. It's impossible. It was God's grace that Donald Trump is not dead right now, God's grace. It is absolutely horrific and tragic that
12:31 a man was killed, a firefighter that I'll tell you about in a little while, and two others injured critically. But make no mistake about it, this was not an inside job, ridiculous, stupid period. I'll tell you what I think it was in just a little while. But let's talk about how could this happen. So, as you heard in the clip I just played you, the shooter was down and they lifted trunk up, escorted him off of that stage. How did he get up there? That was a total failure in my opinion of the Secret Service. And let's talk about this for a second. So the Secret Service did a phenomenal job of protecting the president. Within one point six seconds, they were on top of him.
13:20 And look, shout out to the female in there that has actually worked that security detail for Trump for many years. Her and one other particular agent they have worked for Trump for many years, kind of like his right hand security. And she was up in there and she was going to make sure nothing happened to her President right. Shout out to her. And there were several other female agents surrounding the car when Trump was put into the car. Shout out to those as well. Love to see some badass females in there making it happen. That was awesome. Now, the word on the street is this is not verified, and actually the Secret Service denies it. But I think that might be where a little conspiracy is coming into play here and a little bit of scandal because they're denying this at the top level of the Secret Service. And I want to preface this with no one involved in on the ground in this incident. Was someone that I'm putting blame on in this.
14:28 But the Secret Service has one job. You protect the president the former president, and we'll tell you what the difference in that protection is in just a second, and even political candidates once they are qualified by their party. And that's important in this scenario because Trump had this protection from the Secret Service primarily because he is a past president, not because he's running for president. You don't automatically get Secret Service protection if you're running for a president. Just ask Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He was denied secrets and is denied, still does not have Secret Service protection, and he's running for president and he actually has double digits in the polls. I think he's polling somewhere around twelve percent.
15:18 That's pretty good for an independent no protection. He was denied it. And this is a guy who had an uncle get assassinated and his dad. He's a Kennedy no protection. Used to be a Democrat, now he's running as a independent. How does secret Service protection work when you're a past president And what is the difference between like Joe Biden right now, who is a sitting president. Really not a whole lot when it comes to the Secret Service. If you're a past president, you have roughly the same detail size, so the same amount of people protecting you as the president. It's the sitting president has some class saified things that nobody really knows. But think of it like this, If a sitting president is speaking somewhere, there's probably a plane way up in the sky that no one can see that has all kinds of cool equipment on it that can determine a lot of things going on on the ground where he's speaking, whereas a former president may not have that or does not have that. But the protection detail is very similar. It's similar in the amount of people, etc. One of the things that has been coming out on the street is that this particular Secret Service detail requested more agents for this event, and we're denied. That gunman getting up on that roof and firing from one hundred and thirty yards out with an AR fifteen, which is
16:48 plenty of range for an AR fifteen to be accurate a shocking. Here's what happens when these events take place. Five to seven days out, the Secret Service goes out there, they do an on site inspection, and it's recommended anything inside of a thousand feet that is perched, so buildings, right roofs, those sorts of things, they are going to put someone there. They're going to put someone on top of that roof, and they call that making the area sterile. But if you got thirty agents working this event, and that's just a number, I don't know how many he had, But if you have thirty agents and you spread them out everywhere you can spread them out, you may not have some areas covered. And it appears if that was the case here. But the Secret Service is coming out at the top level the brass right, they're saying, oh no, this is bullshit. I don't know if I buy that this was a major security failure, major and a lot of this may not be solved. I mean, it's been fifty sixty years since Kennedy was the same fascinated and we still can't agree, many of us on whether there was someone behind a grassy knoll and whether Oswald performed this alone or whether it was the CIA or this will never be answered to everybody's satisfaction. So I'm ana play this clip. And this next clip is
18:19 a woman, a little fire plug too, older older female that was on the front row of this rally, and she's describing what she saw with Trump in the melee after. And here's that. Okay, I was in the first row, writ in front of prison Trump. I heard first boom boom, I heard four boom boom booms. Immediately thought fireworks. Ibody still putting off fireworks. Then the Secret Service jumped onto him, pushed him to the ground. What did he look like when you saw him when he got up? So I'm just telling you now, I pushed him to the ground. That's what we saw. And not one of us in the front row either hid down or and we all stood up strong to make sure. We wanted to protect him too. We wouldn't move till Trump got up. What did you see from him? So then the guys with the guns came the clear right clear lift. They said, lift them, so they lifted him straight up. Trump said, I gotta get my shoes on. But he wasn't.
19:18 He was. He looked okay to me. But I saw a little bit of blood right here on the side of his face, the right cheek. It was like a tear drop almost. But then when he turned to the right, I could see the blood from the top of the ear to the bottom. Was not cushing, but it was it was all the way down. OK. Yeah, I'm fine Now I thought something happened, But in my mind, I thought when they pushed him, he hit himself on something, you know, almost like a burn, right brush burn or whatever, you know something, and then he put his hand up real big, like strong, and they walked him down. Just a fire blood right there. And look, the amazing thing about this that I saw was when all those shots were fired, bullets are flying, right. Some accounts have seven, some accounts have eight. Bullets shot from this ar fifteen. You didn't see anybody running. Heck, there were people behind him. They were almost standing up like they wanted to protect the president, just like that lady said.
20:22 So, as I told you earlier, police did shoot, and it was actually one shot that was fired from what is known as the counter sniper team, and they were perched on a roof situated just kind of catty corner to Trump where he was speaking, maybe ten feet behind him, on a roof of a building. One shot, one kill, and they killed the shooter. And let's talk about that real quick. The Secret Service has two teams that are staged at these events that until something like this happens, you really don't know they exist. One of those is a counter sniper team. They're usually per or they are always perched on a high point like a roof, and all they're doing is they're observing the crowd. They're looking everywhere they can, and they're trying to find a sniper somewhere through these very high powered scopes that they have, and they're communicating with people on the ground. They also have a counter assault team. Now, remember when Trump went down and the Secret Service agents surrounded him. You had I think it was three guys come out and they all had automatic rifles, and they essentially surrounded the Secret Service gentlemen and women in suits. That is the counter assault team. They are trained to protect not only the president, but the Secret Service that is
21:53 protecting the president. So they surround those who had Trump tackled. And we'll go back real quick to how did he get on that roof, which is what I've been talking about, And how did nobody see him? This is now common news that it was a twenty year old white male that was the shooter. This kid is climbing a industrial building and getting on the roof with an AR fifteen in broad daylight. Did anybody see him? Yes? Did anybody bring attention to the police that, Hey, there's a freaking guy on the roof. Yes. And we got that clip from the individual that reported this to police, and that's right here. We would say you went inside the event, yep, but you were just outside. Tell us what yes or online. So we had a party here all day and you can see behind us at the Brinkle's Farming greenhouse here. We had a party and we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're going to walk up through the field, stand by the trees out there under the shade and watch this ring and listen to the rally. Right.
22:57 We couldn't see him, but we could hear him. So we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking I'm estimating here. I have no idea, you know, but we noticed a guy crawling arming, you know, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, fifty feet away from us. So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing. We're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. And he had a rifle. He could clearly see him with a rifle. Absolutely, we're pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground. We're like, hey, man, there's guy in the roof. For the rifle, and the police were like, come on, what you know, like like they didn't know what was going on. You know, We're like, hey, right here on the roof, we can see him from right here, we see him, you know, he's crawling. And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage. I'm standing there pointing at him for you know, two to three minutes, Secret Services looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this, and next thing, you know, five shots run out. So there you have it. I have no answer for that, y'all. And that is concerning. I mean, it sounded to me like this man said, they just kind of laughed him off. He's pointing at this kid bear crawling on a roof one hundred and thirty feet from
24:30 the president. Nothing happens. We were probably a millimeter away, in a head turn away from civil war. And whoever he reported this to didn't do a damn thing. That's crazy to me. As these reports were coming out, some of them were disgusting in my opinion, seeing in really stuck in my crawl for forty five minutes while they were on the air, and it was look it was completely clear that there were gunshots fired. The headline that SEEINGN had on their website was secret service Russius Trump off stage after he falls at rally. After he falls, they knew he was shot. Wolf Blitzer, one of their anchors, Once they finally admitted that this man didn't fall, he was shot, and they knew that from a beginning. But once they finally admitted this, wolf Blitzer comes out and he's very just lasadaisical about it. You know, sometimes this happens, and it's always sad when this happens. No, you don't say fell off the stage. You don't say it's it's sad. But sometimes it happens. When does it happen? When
26:00 when Kennedy was assassinated, when Lincoln was assassinated, Ronald Reagan when he was shot. That was in nineteen eighty one, That was decades ago. This doesn't just happen. Sometimes that shit pissed me off. If you're gonna report it, report it accurately, Tell the people the truth. All of us are human, Come on seeing and do better. He could have been killed literally within millimeters when he's talking. If he were facing twelve o'clock, facing right at the audience at the time that that shot went off, he would be dead. In this country would never be the same never. This is serious. And I'll tell you what, I know some people that we're not gonna vote now, they'll crawl through glass to vote for Trump. This is a big deal. So the shooter is killed, and I'm thinking, how did we get to this point today? What happened recently that may have incited somebody to do this? Personally, from what's come out, I think this was a lone wolf thing. I just don't see this twenty year old that I've researched as much as I possibly could at this point of being someone anybody would pick to do this, even as a patsy. But what raised emotions
27:33 this week, Well, one of the things that happened is Biden came out and in this speech he said, and he was referring to Eugenie Carroll and he said that judge said he raped that woman. And you know, you can go back and you can read the opinion on that case. She was a partisan judge, and after the or he did not convict Trump of rape, and they did not find that he raped her. The judge, providing an assist really for the prosecutor who failed to prove rape, said they must have been talking about rape in an extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary written opinion that she wrote that was completely inappropriate. And Joe Biden he seized on that because he's desperate. Quite frankly, he's desperate because of his own debate performance that absolutely lost him this election even before the shooting. In my opinion, and the rhetoric is all he had. He said, and I quote, he's a rapist. Put a bullseye on him. He's dangerous in word, deed, n action. He puts self over country, he lows the law we live by. How dare him? How dare they? He's dangerous? Yeah, he's dangerous. You're dangerous. Do you know the reach you have? Joe
29:06 Biden? You have to be responsible in your words, because part of me thinks this is just some idiot, fucking impressionable kid who is a total dumb ass that bought everything. Biden said, hookline and sinker and said I'll go be the hero. Yeah, there's stupid ass twenty year olds out there that would do that, and when I get to identifying this fool, I'm gonna say his name one time, because he will not become words that come out of my mouth more than once on this show, and the only I have to say it once so I can identify this asshole. But from then on he will be referred to as asshole and they act on their own and their lone wolfs, and everything I'm seeing so far indicates that to me. You know, do I think Hillary Clinton went talking to this kid or somebody from the Democratic side talk to this kid, put him up to it? No, not this kid, number one, anybody they would have to do this.
30:12 That person's not missing, that's number one. I guarantee you. They'd be trained to shoot, and it's hard to miss. It's hard to miss with an A or fifteen from one hundred and thirty yards. That's a big bullet. So I guess let's talk about this shooter, who he was, what we know about him so far, and we'll say his name one time. His name was Thomas Matthew Crooks. He was a twenty year old kitchen worker and as I told you, he was shot dead on the scene by a Secret Service sniper. He had not been carrying IDs. So the way that investigators were able to identify this asshole was to use DNA, and they were able to identify him from DNA and some other techniques which I'm not one hundred percent familiar with exactly at this point, because if you don't have a if someone's never turned in their DNA to you, okay, they're not in the database. Even if you have their DNA, you can't match it unless they already have DNA record. So for some reason this kid did. He was from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. That's about forty three miles from where the assassination attempt took place. He graduated in twenty twenty two from Bethel Park High School. This was a freaking kid. He worked in a local nursing home
31:45 kitchen that was just a short drive from his home, so he didn't even work in the area. And he was a registered Republican according to state records. That is a lot of contention right now. Democrats are jumping on that as one of your own look, one of your own shot at you. Not so fast. First of all, was he donated money to a liberal campaign group now in his act blue in twenty twenty one. So it's my suspicion he was a Rhino, a Republican in name only. He was a fake Republican. He was wearing a T shirt from Demolition Ranch, which is a large YouTube channel has millions of subscribers, and they're known for guns and demolition content. The AR fifteen that he used was registered to his father.
32:42 Of course, that is neither here nor there. That doesn't mean that his father was complicit or had any knowledge of this. He could have just walked in his dad's gun closet and took out his AR fifteen. The weapon was bought at least six months ago, according to the Secret Service. They also found explosive device material in his vehicle that was parked in a neighborhood outside of where Trump was speaking. Actually had some very cognizant residents of that neighborhood. They knew that Van did not belong there, and actually called police and come to find out they had IEDs improvised explosive devices inside that vehicle. They also found material to make explosive devices in his home in his bedroom. A lot of people have asked what his motive was. We don't know. Nobody knows yet. This is going to take time. It could take months for investigators to figure out. If they ever figure out why he did this. Did he leave a manifesto somewhere that they haven't come across. Time will tell.
33:59 And as I told you, not only did he shoot and injure Donald Trump, he killed another and two others in the audience work injured. Their in critical condition. And all three of those the one that was killed along with the two that are in critical cognition or male. So after the gunman was killed, but several hours after the incident, the White House finally had something to say on the matter, and President Joe Biden came out and spoke to reporters at the White House. And here's what that sounded like. Thanks for coming, folks. I've been thoroughly briefed by all the agencies and federal government.
34:39 That's the situation based on what we know now. I have tried to get a hold of Donald. He's with his doctors. They apparently he's doing well. I plan on talking then shortly, I hope when I get back to the telephone. Look, there's no place in America of this kind of violence. It's sick, it's sick. It's one of the reason why we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this. And so, and I want to thank the Secret Service and all the agency, including the state agencies that have been engaged in making sure that the people who and we have more detail to come relative to other injury. Other people may be injured in the audience. I don't have all that detail, will make that available to you. I may be able to come back a little later tonight, but we'll put out a statement if we don't, if I'm not able to get it, if it's not convenient for you, will But the bottom line is that the Trump rally is a rally that you should have been able to be conducted peacefully without any problem. But the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in America like this, it's just unheard of. It's just not appropriate, and everybody, everybody must condemn it, everybody. I'll keep you informed and if I am able to speak to the to Donald, I'll let you know that as well. So far it appears he's doing well.
36:06 Number one. Number two that they're thoroughly investigating what happened to anyone else in the audience. I have, we have some reports, but not final reports, and every agency in the federal government, and I'm going back to my phone to speak with the federal agencies that are being put together again to give me an updated brief as anything happened. They learning more in the last couple of hours. So thank you very much, and I hope I get to speak to him tonight and I'll get you back to you if I do. Oksh present, Do you think this was an assassination attempt? I don't know enough to I have an opinion, but I don't have any facts, so I want to make sure we have all the facts before I make some comment any more comments. Thank you. So that's what he had to say the day of the shooting. And I'm going to tell you now about the hero in my opinion, that was killed in this incident, and he is a former Pennsylvania fire chief that was killed at that rally. But before I discuss him, I want to play this club. This was from a gentleman who's an er doctor that discussed assessting one of these three men that were shot and it's right here. I heard the shots. I thought it was star trackers to begin with. Somebody over there was screaming, he's been shot. He's been shot. So I made my way over. I said, I'm an emergency department physician. Let me help you. The guy had spun around,
37:37 was jammed between the benches. He had a headshot here, there's lots of blood and he had brained met her. So I got him. There's a helicopter coming in to get him. So I got people there, really helpful. I got and then at the CPR did chest impressions as well as for so that er doctor did not mention which of those three men he was actually working on and providing uh, chest compressions for, et cetera. But the former Pennsylvania fire chief, Corey Comparatore, who was fifty was killed. He was described as a hero who had so much life left to experience. That from his sister. Corey was a former fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department. He was a hero that shielded his daughters, his wife and the girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable. That from his sister Dawn, My baby brother just turned fifty and had so much life left to experience.
38:49 Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister in law, nieces, my mother's sister, me and his nieces and nephews, as this feels like a terrible nightmare, but we know it is our painful reality. His wife and daughter described the scene at the rally, stating that Corey quickly moved to shield his family when the shots began. He shielded my body from the bullet that came at us. He loved his family, He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us. That from Allison, his daughter, In a Facebook post. His wife, Helen added on Facebook, what my precious girls had to witness is unforgivable. According to his LinkedIn profile, he worked as a project and tooling engineer at JSP a plastics manufacturing firm in Butler, Pennsylvania, which is the rooftop in which that shooter was perched when he was killed. Very strange. Some statements were also released from several different people families of former presidents. Michael Reagan, the son of late President Ronald Reagan, said the Reagan family sends prayers to President Trump and his family. Special prayers for Milania as we remember what Nancy was going through in March of nineteen eighty one. Of course, that's when Reagan was shot. Andy Vanka Trump also came out with a statement. She said,
40:21 thank you for your love and prayers for my father and for other victims of today's senseless violence in Butler, Pennsylvania. I am grateful to the Secret Service and all the other law enforcement officers for their quick and decisive actions. I continue to pray for our country. I love you Dad today in all ways only as a daughter can write it right. Eli Musk came out within an hour of this incident. He said, I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery. Y'all. That is huge. Elon Musk has said many times he will not endorse for this election, and he came out and endorsed Trump right after this incident. He retweeted right behind it, last time America had a candidate this tough, it was Theodore Roosevelt. And let's get to Malania Trump, who wrote kind of like an open letter to fellow Americans, and she says, I am thinking of you now, my fellow Americans.
41:32 We have been through a unique union America. The fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must descend and bring us back together as one. While I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life in Baron's life. We're on the brink of a devastating change. I am grateful to the brave secret security agents and law enforcement officials who risk their own life to protect my husband, and to the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act. I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy. Your need to summon your inner strength for such a terrible reason saddens me. A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald's passion, his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband's life, his human side, were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times. Let us not forget that differing opinions policy political games are inferior to love, are personal, structural and life commitment until death is at serious risk. Political concepts are simple when compared to us human beings. We are all human and fundamentally, instinctively we want to help each other. American politics
43:07 are only one vehicle that can uplift our communities. Love, compassion, kindness, and empathy are necessities. And let us remember that when the time comes to look beyond the left and the right, beyond the red and the blue, we all come from families with the passion to fight for a better life together. While we are here in this earthly realm, dawn is here again. Let us unite now this morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple minded ideas that ignite violence. We all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends. We can realize this world again. Each of us must demand it. To get it back, we must insist that respect fills the cornerstone of our relationships. Again.
43:57 I'm thinking of you, my fellows. The wind of change has arrived. For those of you who cry and support I thank you. I commend those of you of reached out beyond the political divide. Thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family and folks. You can't say it any better than that, these are human beings, These are people. I think sometimes politics get so divided you forget that all of us are human and as Kennedy said, we all breathe the same air and we're all mortal. So to sum this up today, at this point, I do see a major security failure that falls at the hands of the Secret Service brass, the executives at the top, not the ones that were there. Those are heroes. Those people deserve our respect. Those people did their jobs bravely, and I commend them their heroes. But the brass at the top let all of us down, including their own employees. There should have been someone on that roof. There should have been someone on every roof within a thousand yards. This guy was a football field, way a little over a football field with an AR fifteen easy shot, easy shot.
45:34 Donald Trump had God with him ninety nine point ninety nine times out of one hundred. He ain't breathing. Thank you Jesus, because our country would have never been the same. Thank you so much for listening. Don't forget tonight at midnight regular episode drops. This was just an emergency drop till next time for exposed scandalous files of the I'm your host, Jim Chapman, much love,
