"Problem Almost Solved" (and Other Disgusting Responses to the Trump Shooting)

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Scott VORDIEZ. We have the breakingnews here that a judge has thrown out
the classified documents case. As youjust heard a moment ago from Fox,
a judge has thrown out the classifieddocuments case against President Trump. And the
reason for that seems to be thatthe special council that was picked out of

(00:24):
nowhere no approval from anyone in Congress, was unlawfully appointed, not necessarily saying
that Trump didn't have any classified documents, and not saying, oh, yeah,
he was fine. Everything he hadwas fine, was no big deal.
This seems to be the illegitimacy ofthe special council brought the charges against

(00:47):
the former president in the case ofthe allegations that Trump's got all these classified
documents down there at mar A Lagoand guests come over, He's like,
take a look at this. Youwant to see where we have the aliens,
You want to see where the troopmovements are, or whatever the classified
documents might be. And apparently nowthat's done. So that news just broke.

(01:15):
A moment ago on Saturday, lateafternoon, early evening, we got
the word that, depending on whatsource you were looking at, either the
president was shot or he fell orthere were loud noises and they said,

(01:36):
well, we can't have loud noises. That was the assessment of the Washington
Post. By the way, theheadline trump leaves rally after loud noises erupt
CNN said, secret service rushes Trumpoff stage after he falls at rally.

(02:00):
And if I don't read this now, I'll put it to the side and
I'll forget. This was another headlineyesterday from Forbes. Will surviving gunfire be
Donald Trump's next appeal to black voters? It's the assessment from Forbes. So
depending on where you go for yournews, boy, any number of things

(02:23):
happened on Saturday in Pennsylvania. Here'swhat actually happened. And this is the
assessment of Donald Trump. He talkedwith his of course, he talked with
his doctor. Trump's former White Housedoctor, Ronnie Jackson, now at Texas

(02:47):
Representative, said that Trump spoke withhim on the phone a few hours after
the attempt on his life, andhe says his belief was he was saved
by quote illegal immigration into the USunquote. What does that mean? That
was a chart that he had onthe screen to his right when he was

(03:13):
doing the Trump rally. In ButlerCounty, Pennsylvania. The chart was titled
illegal immigration into the US, andif he hadn't pointed to that chart and
turned his head just the right moment, that bullet would have hit him square
in the head. So he says, the Border Patrol saved my life,
is what he told his doctor,Ronnie Jackson. Jackson went to see him

(03:38):
as Trump went to his Trump NationalClub in Bedminster, New Jersey, and
says he found a man who wasdetermined, a man who was not the
least bit flustered. Now, thatwas what happened there. Surrounding Trump on

(04:04):
a rooftop about one hundred and fiftyyards away was a guy whose name is
completely unimportant, but it will.It'll go down. Maybe some people remember
it. Some people will be like, who's the guy who tried to assassinate
Reagan? And hopefully they'll forget nameslike that, so he'll be that footnote

(04:29):
in history. And here's what weknow about him, twenty years old.
What picture do we have of him? We have his high school picture from
two years ago, where he hasbraces and acne and is wearing a shirt
with an American flag emblazoned over MountRushmore. This is a school picture from

(04:50):
two years ago. He's in thearea, lives in the area, presumably
lives at home. I don't know. Bethel Park is where he's from,
a suburb of Pittsburgh, about fortymiles from where the former president had his
rally in Butler County, and authoritiesare trying to figure out what the heck

(05:12):
was going on with him. They'retrying to get into his phone. FBI
experts are working on that. Hehad a social media account on a chat
platform called Discord, but according tothe Associated Press, doesn't appear to have
used it much lately. As faras anything else on social media or video

(05:33):
game chat activity, there doesn't reallyseem to be anything politically motivated. Registered
Republican donated to a liberal get outthe vote group. It's not too surprising
if he was one who was motivatedby politics. It's not too surprising that
he'd be a registered Republican, asthere were a lot of liberal people who

(05:56):
registered as Republicans because it was moreinterestin to vote in this Republican primary this
last year than to vote as aDemocrat, specifically when talking about the presidential
sweep stakes, So that's not completelyout of the question. But as far
as like he's motivated by politics.He was working at as a dietary aid

(06:24):
at a nursing and rehab center.His boss says, a good worker,
he performed his job, clean backgroundcheck, his high school class rates.
Remember he was a good math student. He was quiet, but he was
polite. He wasn't like the quiet, weird kid, just a nice,

(06:45):
quiet kid. You look at thispicture of this kid and you go,
what was going on there? Heokay, So where do you get the
gun? It was a They quicklyrefer to it as an AR fifteen style
weapon because the media wants you tothink that this is a military style weapon.

(07:11):
It's not. This is a weaponthat was purchased by his father.
It remains unclear whether he had therifle without permission. Of course, police
authorities, FBI, they're all talkingto the family. But that wasn't all.
He also had an explosive device inhis vehicle and possible explosives at his
home. So, like I said, FBI going to have a lot of

(07:38):
questions for his family. Assassination,attempt, potential domestic terrorism, call it
whatever you want. The only otherthing that leads you to believe something about
what had happened to this young manin terms of adapting his character from being

(07:59):
a nice kid with bray is interestedin math is there was a popular YouTube
channel called Demolition Ranch and on whenthey pulled his lifeless body from that rooftop,
he was wearing a T shirt aboutthis YouTube channel, and this is
a channel that features weapons and explosives. I mean, everyone's trying to insert

(08:24):
whatever motive was going on there,and I don't think it's a far cry
to say that this guy was whippedinto a frenzy from the very pointed rhetoric
that's out there. Whether it wasthe rhetoric that occurred before the shooting,

(08:46):
this guy Donald Trump isn't a threatto America. He's a threat to the
constitution. He's a threat to ourdemocracy, or whether it was the rhetoric
that happened after the shooting, wherepeople on social media were beside themselves with
grief, not because Donald Trump hadnearly been assassinated, but because he wasn't,

(09:13):
and that even took a divergent path. Whether it was the people who
were mad that he wasn't killed.You see posts on there like wow,
all of our problems were almost solved. I want to write that phrase down
because I want to come back toit, see problems solved, whether it

(09:37):
was posts like all of our problemswere almost solved, and that kind of
thinking, like I can't believe thatshooter missed. How do you miss?
First of all, anyone has evertried to hit a target from one hundred
and fifty yards away with a rifleat a target that is moving, even
just a little bit, even ifthat target isn't moving, even if that

(09:58):
target's twice as big a target.Get from one hundred and fifty yards away
hard to hit? You try it? Not like this on a shooting range,
or like I said, these poststhat demonized Trump were going in two
different directions, largely either people upsethe wasn't murdered or people who felt the

(10:20):
entire thing was staged. All right, I like to explore different options.
Let's take a look at that thiswas staged. This is all a setup.
That's how that works. Here's howthe setup works. Trump is up
there on stage, moving around.He knows exactly where his head is supposed

(10:41):
to be at the exact moment thatone of several bullets is going to come
whizzing by his head, and justfor effect, we'll have it graze his
ear and side of his head.Don't worry. As long as you're standing
right here and you have your headcocked at exactly this angle, the bullet
is going going to graze your head. You'll be fine. Uh. Now,

(11:03):
people behind you are going to beshot and a girl. Dad is
how his family describes him as goingto be murdered. Also, that amazing
shooter who has to miss on purposewith such precision so as not to fatally
wound the former president. You're,for your part in all of this staging.

(11:26):
You're going to be murdered by secretService. Now, of course they're
all in on it, because they'regonna let you get up on that rooftop
and they're gonna let you squeeze offa few rounds and then they're gonna murder
you. Is everyone good with this? Yep? Okay, let's go win
an election staged. So that's partof what was out there as people try

(12:01):
and figure out, all right,why did this guy do this? Well,
let's focus back on that phrase.You know, our problems were almost
solved, were they Let's take alook at that here next Scott voice Lucy
Chapman as well, and at somepoint I'll stop talking long enough for Lucy
to join the conversation as well.There was one phrase I saw a few

(12:22):
times over the weekend. I wantedto address though that the people who were
upset that the shooter missed, andthe phrase was all of our problems were
almost solved. I want to followthat through with as much critical thinking as
I gave the idea that people thoughtthe whole thing was staged. You know

(12:45):
that Trump had the precision to knowexactly where his head would be, and
the shooter was so good. We'rejust gonna nick your ear from one hundred
and fifty yards away, and we'regoing to stage this. Now, there's
got to be a martyr here.It's going to be girl Dad Corey Compretour.

(13:05):
That's the fifty year old engineer fathera two from Sarvor, Pennsylvania,
who threw himself on his family shieldingthem, was fatally shot as he and
his wife and daughter went to seethe Trump rally. They've got a good
seat too, Sadly, his daughterAllison on Facebook said, he shielded my

(13:30):
body from a bullet that came atus. He loved his family truly loved
us enough to take a real bulletfor us. He was a girl,
dad, two daughters. One ofthose guys super good dude. So he's
going to be killed, and thenyou, the shooter, are going to

(13:50):
be killed. Who wouldn't want tostage something with all of these consequences.
So we took a look at that. Now the idea that all of our
problems were almost solved had Trump beenmurdered. All right, what exactly do

(14:11):
you think happens in that situation?Trump is assassinated and all of his supporters.
For those of you who feel thisway, be you more liberal,
be you more conservative. There area lot of people who really don't like

(14:33):
Donald Trump. But you also knowthis is not just an assassination attempt on
Trump. It's an assassination attempt onMega, It's an assassination attempt on his
supporters. It's an assassination attempt onhis voters. So what do you think

(14:56):
was going to happen? Trump isassassinated and all all of his supporters,
who you also want to see dead, just say, oh wow, how
about that? Well, I guesswe'll just go home. Now there's no

(15:16):
one we could possibly vote for rallybehind a cause we could take up to
further some of the policies that welike about Trump. Now, in terms
of his personality, there's a lotthere that people hate. There's a lot
there that people like. Has todo with a guy who's fighting. At

(15:37):
the same time. People hate thathe's you know, so shooting off,
you know, at the mouth andsays some pretty horrible things once in a
while. Whether he actually said thesethings, and there's plenty there to choose
from, or whether there are thingsthat people make up that he said,
or the positions that they make upthat he has, like he wants to,
you know, round up all thethe tan or black people, kill

(16:00):
him and throw them in there withall the gay people and all this other
nonsense that is not rooted in anythinghe's ever said or done. But people
think, well, if we killTrump, all of his supporters will just
go away. You cut off thehead of the snake, the rest of
the snake dies. Is that,honestly what you think would happen there.

(16:22):
I'm not trying to get into thepoisoned brain of the shooter, but all
these people on social media who thought, wow, all of our problems were
almost solved. Is that what youthink would happen. All of his supporters,
all of his people would just belike, oh, we had a

(16:45):
good run. I guess that's theend of that. Let's go vote for
Nicki Hayley. So all of thishappens now on the weekend before the Republican

(17:06):
National Convention, which starts this afternoonin Milwaukee. Program note special programming each
evening over the next four nights.Jesse Kelly is up there at the convention.
So Jesse Kelly's show from the Convention. Rather than starting at nine o'clock,

(17:26):
we'll start at six o'clock after EmerySonger. And yeah, we're keeping
Jesse on from six till midnight.If you miss the show the first time,
from six to nine, cats thereplay nine to midnight. Fellow fans
of Glenn Beck, He'll be backon Friday night at six. Sorry about
that, but Jesse's up there atthe convention, and we're going with that

(17:48):
starting at six o'clock tonight Tomorrow night, Wednesday Night, part of Thursday Night,
and then Fox News coverage of Trump'sspeech on Thursday night from the convention,
a speech that he says he rippedup I'll give you more details on
this after a Fox News update next. Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

(18:11):
As you heard a moment ago fromFox News, a judge has dismissed
the classified documents case against President Trump, arguing that the special council who brought
the charges was illegally entrenched in this. That you can't just say this guy
who we know is going to filetrumped up charges against Trump, this guy

(18:33):
is now a special prosecutor. Ithas to go through Congress. There's a
way that this is supposed to work, and they didn't do it. Those
who say that Trump and his followersare a threat to the constitution, a
threat to democracy. So what elsehas been said and done here in the
last couple of days since the assassinationattempt on Trump on Saturday. Well,

(18:59):
for one, here today in Milwaukeethe Republican National Convention again special coverage Jesse
Kelly from the convention to night sixto midnight on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
But they also on Thursday night,We're going to have a special long
form coverage of President Trump's speech onthe final night of the convention on Thursday.

(19:23):
What are we going to hear well, here's what he tells the Washington
Examiner. On his way to Milwaukee. Trump talked to the Examiner, said,
first of all, it's amazing thathe wasn't killed. He, as

(19:48):
we talked about earlier, gave creditto the immigration related chart he referenced at
the exact moment that the shots camefor him. He said, this was
yesterday afternoon. If only if myonly half turn, it hits the back
of the brain. The other waygoes right through my head. And because
the sign was high, I'm lookingup, the chances of my making a
perfect turn are probably one tenth toone percent. I'm not supposed to be

(20:12):
here. The assessment of the guywho he talked to, brought byron Yorke
with the Washington Examiner, says whathe saw was a man grappling with the
feeling that something very big has changedhis life. So he asked him,
has this attempt on your life changedyour campaign? Trump said yes, and

(20:34):
said quote, I basically had aspeech that was an unbelievable rip roarer.
It was brutal, really good,really tough. I threw it out.
I think it would be very badif I got up and started going wild
about how horrible everybody is and howcorrupt and crooked. Even if it's true,
Oh, he's still Trump. Hadthis not happened, he continued,

(20:59):
we had a speech that was prettywell set, that was extremely tough.
Now we have a speech that ismore unifying. And I'm sure even his
most ardent supporters are saying, we'llsee how long this sentiment lasts. So

(21:21):
I don't know what we're gonna hearfrom President Trump. I can tell you
what we heard from President Biden lastnight. He gave a quick speech to
the nation Oval Office address, saidthat we t He said it's time to
cool it down. He said,we don't know the motive of the shooter.

(21:42):
I can take a wild guess.I think the motive of the shooter
was to kill Trump. But ifPresident Biden wants to talk with me about
anything else, I can fill infor him. I don't think it's a
far cry to say this guy wastrying to overturn what would potentially be a
national election, what's supposed to bethe vote of the people. This guy

(22:06):
was going to go right around allof that. Biden said, we don't
know his opinions or affiliations. Oh, I mentioned that the shooter was wearing
a T shirt for a YouTube channelcalled Demolition Ranch. I have a supporter
of that email or that YouTube channel. Here in the email, Ryan says,

(22:27):
just as a side note, I'ma longtime follower of the YouTube channel
Demolition Ranch. It's likely the mostpopular gun content related YouTube channel has been
for years. The guy behind itis a guy named Matt family Man who
has a hobby of making range videoson weekends, which he turned to do
a successful business. He retired frombeing a veterinarian to do the YouTube channel

(22:51):
full time. And the community isconfused that the shooter would associate him associate
himself with this. So in caseyou're thinking like, oh, this is
a guy doing a YouTube channel goinghey, if you're going to assassinate someone,
here's how you do it. Whichwe have some more assessment of all

(23:19):
of that and the questions for theSecret Service coming up. But where was
I. Oh, yeah, whatPresident Biden said last night? He said
we don't know the motive of theshooter. He says, I want to
speak to what we do know.A former president was shot. An American
citizen killed will simply exercising his freedomto support the candidate of his choosing violence

(23:45):
has never been the answer. Andthen he starts listing all the violence,
Yes, listing including you know Januarysixth, in the attack on Nancy Pelosi's
husband, which apparently has been lumpedinto the assassination attempt on Trump January sixth.

(24:06):
He didn't throw in there Antifa takingover large portions of our nation's big
cities. He didn't say Jewish studentshave been running for their lives as Palestinian
supporters and those who just look forthe opportunity to say, oh, where's
the anarchy at I don't care whatthe cause is. I just like the

(24:26):
anarchy. We're gonna We're going togo and occupy college campuses while demonizing Jews,
while demonizing law enforcement in some ofthe Black Lives Matters protests around this
country, the assassination attempt on SteveScalise. You know, those didn't get
listed. But you know, Bidensaid, you know, the political rhetoric

(24:52):
in this country has gotten very heated. It's time to cool it down.
We all have a responsibility to dothat. Now. There are a lot
of people saying that on both sides. Sadly, what I think that means
is when someone says it's time tocool down all this political rhetoric, what
they mean is what we're saying isokay, Now what you people over there
on the other side of that politicalspectrum, what you guys are saying,

(25:15):
that's the crazy stuff and you needto stop it. Both sides feel that
way. So we'll see how farwe get here with all of this.
The President spoke for about six minuteslast night. In case you didn't hear
it. Did he have a flub? Of course, he said, where's

(25:38):
the quote quote In America, weresolve our difference at the battle box.
That's how we do it at thebattle box unquote. That's twice he referred
to people going to vote in Novemberat the battle box close to ballot He

(26:03):
had been talking about battle and sothe President Biden says, we have to
we have to cool it down.Like I said, we'll see for a
while there. On Saturday evening,when listening to some of the coverage late

(26:26):
into Saturday night, I decided toflip over and listen to what CNN was
doing on their radio channel, andI heard I don't know who it was,
but she's on there talking and she'ssaying the same thing, like we
got to cool down the political rhetoric. And then she even said that when
Trump got up, dogpiled by membersof the Secret Service working to usher him

(26:53):
off the stage, Trump had hisfist in the air and he was saying
after he said, I want toput my shoes on or whatever he's saying
by shoes. He gets up there, has his fist in the air and
he says fight, fight, Andthis political commentator on CNN says, I

(27:17):
think we can all agree that's thewrong tone to strike right now. She's
saying this about the guy who wasnearly murdered seconds before this. Trump wants
to let his supporters know he's okay, and he's urgent, like we're not
giving up fight. So she's ofcourse taking this as what Trump is telling

(27:41):
his supporters to do is go findthe Capitol building and tear it apart or
whatever. He's fomenting violence. Hewants his supporters go home or you know,
out to the gun racks in theback of your trucks there in the
parking lot, get your guns andjust start fighting. It's time for a
civil war. That's what Trump meantby this. She's faulting the guy who

(28:07):
was just shot. If Trump wouldhave got up, surrounded by the Secret
Service and started reciting a recipe fora shrimp boil, who's going to fault
him for that? How would youreact if you were just shot? You
were you, You're bleeding from yourhead. You you've got pain on the
side of your head. You putyour hand to your head. You look

(28:30):
at your hand, it's got yourblood on it. How are you going
to react? At that point?The adrenaline is coursing through your veins.
You have no idea was this aflesh wound or was this am I?
Am? I? Moments away fromthe lights going out? If he got

(28:52):
up and started singing Karma Karma,Karma, Karma, Karma, Camelion by
Culture Club, you know, youhave no idea what your head is going
to like. Your brain is firingon synapses you didn't even know you possessed,
and suddenly all this your life isflashing before your eyes and next thing
you know, you're you're battling whateveranything that Trump would have said at that

(29:18):
point, I would have absolutely excused, including I want to get my shoes.
I did the Secret Service tackle him? So hard. They tackled him
out of his shoes. I heardthat several times, and I was wondering
why his shoes were off. Yeah, I don't know. And did you
see the Secret Service woman stopping whenthey were going down the stairs? She

(29:44):
stopped, like the whole group stopped. It was almost like she had to
pick up the MAGA hat. Didyou see that that that was in her
hand? No, I didn't seethat. What is that about? I
don't know. Well, if itwas the hat that was on his head,
just in case there was anything thatfrom investigative standpoint they might need,
I don't know. Yeah, thatmakes sense, right, So I'll go

(30:04):
back to being no, no,no, that's I'm glad you jumped in
here. Lucy, by the way, good morning, it's good to see
you. Good morning, good tosee you. So you just started a
question related to the Secret Service thatI hadn't come up with. We'll go
over the questions that everyone is askingtoday related to the Secret Service. Next.
Scott Bodies where You're going? NewsRadio eleven KFAB. A couple of

(30:26):
emails here, This one from Davidsent via the Zonker's custom woods inbox Scott
at kfab dot com David says,I saw someone on Facebook say on Saturday
night, the entire thing was staged. When I made the comment tell that
to the family of the person killedand wounded, I was met with more

(30:52):
ignorant responses. I feel more remorsehas been posted online for Richard Simmons dying
and no sympathy for those who werekilled or wounded, as they got what
they deserved for supporting Trump. That'sfrom David. I'm I'm actually glad.
You know, it seems like whenthere's, you know, some big news

(31:12):
story, there's always some person,whether it's a family member, a celebrity,
who dies, and like no onepays attention to that person because did
you see what happened to this person? Like when Michael Jackson died, another
big celebrity died the same day,but almost no one remembers who was Fara

(31:32):
Fawcet and like, no, everyonewas like and also Fara Fawcet died.
Now back to Michael Jackson. Soover the weekend we lost Richard Simmons,
Shannon Doherty and I hadn't seen thisanyway, I'm gonna double check this before
because my wife said, did youalso see that? So and so died.
I hadn't seen that anywhere. I'mgonna look it up. But the

(31:56):
guy from Hill Street Blues, Ohthat wasn't it. I know he died
too. And there was someone whowas on Dallas and in that horrible Bill
Cosby movie Leonard Part six. Butdoctor Ruth okay, that's the one my
wife said, But I didn't seethat anywhere. Did she die too over
the weekend? Same day? Yeah? I think he was the same day.

(32:16):
Yeah, okay, So, andthen doctor Ruth Westheimer died. Okay.
But to your emailer's point that nobodywas talking about anything about the victims,
the actual victims of this shooting,you're following the wrong people on Twitter.
Then I know he was all over. No. For his part,
Trump has turned his fundraising campaign intopointing out here's a GoFundMe account for the

(32:40):
guy who died this this fifty yearold Pennsylvania man named Corey Compretour. Nearly
a million dollars has been raised forhis family, his wife and two daughters.
So yeah, there's certainly some ofthat out there. But as far
as the secret Service stuff, RobI think encapsulates it very well. Here

(33:04):
in this email says, it's notso much that I think some people feel
it with stage, but this isa plot. Rob says, all right,
crazy or not the shooter being crazyor not. How does someone who
obviously plan an assassination believe he canwalk into the area, climb an adjacent
building, and have a clear shotto shoot the president, all without being

(33:29):
confronted on his way. How didhe know the building would not be covered?
He comes from forty miles away.That's not an assumption an assassin would
make. Did he know he'd haveaccess to the roof of the building.
Did he know he'd be able toget up there with no one stopping him
and with people yelling that he's upthere? Yes, trying to get the

(33:51):
attention of secret service or police rightwhoever. I've got to give Jim Rose
credit on this one, because youdon't I don't know. If i'm Secret
Service age and someone's like, here'sa guy up there, you're probably like,
well, he's probably a supporter ofTrump and he just wants to see
him, but we're not sure.How do we not have at least a
local police officer up there or aroundthat building? And if we're not sure,

(34:14):
get Trump off the stage until we'resure that's Secret Service protocol right there.
How did that not happen? Well, allegedly an officer did climb the
stairs or the ladder, but hedidn't have a gun, so when he
heard the shots, he just gotdown. He hit the ground. He
didn't have a gun. The officerthat climbed the ladder did not have a

(34:34):
gun. That's what I heard.Okay, I suppose we have opened up
the phones here for you to sharewith us your thoughts on the assassination attempt
against President Trump and all that hasfollowed it, whether it's the outpouring of
support for the families of those whosaw their loved ones killed or wounded in

(34:55):
the gunfire, whether it's the outpouringof support for the shoe on behalf of
some people who are so stricken withTDS Trump derangement syndrome that they were upset
that Trump wasn't killed, that theywere laughing about all of this, that
they were saying, Wow, wewere so close to our prayers being answered,

(35:19):
our problems being solved, Like theythink that, you know, in
their view, if you cut thehead off the snake, the rest of
the body just dies. Did youhonestly think that all Trump supporters would be
like, oh, they killed Trump. Well, we figured this would happen.
All right, let's go home.That's the end of that, honestly

(35:40):
that but that's the feelings of somepeople the way the media has reported it.
The questions for Secret Service, Whatare your thoughts on all of this?
Four oh two, five, five, eight to eleven ten is the
number to call and be a partof the program, and we'll start here
with Leanne. Good morning, Leanne, thank you for calling. You're on
eleven ten, kfab morning morning.Go ahead, you're you're on the radio

(36:10):
guy, Yeah, you're fine,go ahead. I was just calling to
talk about the comment you made aboutthe police officers on the building. Yes,
but I did read that there waslike no way for them to get
up onto the building. So therewas another person, another police officer,
standing there, and they apparently gotthe one guy got on his back and

(36:35):
went to get up on the roof, and the shooter must have pointed the
gun at him, and he likeducked down or whatever and then fell off.
That was what I was reading.Okay, I hadn't heard those details.
Let's see here, what do Igot here I saw they it was
local law enforcement officers were in chargeof the perimeter, and I appreciate the

(36:57):
call. Lean, thank you verymuch, local lawn enforcement officers. We're
in charge of the perimeter outside thefenced area. Trump has had a few
rallies here in the area. Ifyou've been to one, you kind of
know how this works. If you'regoing inside the fenced area, there's security
everywhere, whether it's metal detectors,let's look inside your bag, a couple

(37:21):
questions for you, whatever. Andoutside that area that's where the Secret Service
is inside, and then outside you'vegot local law enforcement, probably directed by
the Secret Service. And one wouldthink if you're out here in this parking
lot area and over here one hundredand fifty yards away is a building with
a clear view of the stage,I mean, the Secret Service would absolutely

(37:49):
have questions about that. And thereare several retired security Secret Service types who
have said it's unbelievable that you wouldn'thave a Secret Service agent on the roof
or a local law enforcement around there. So the sources told the Associated Press

(38:09):
people at the Pennsylvania rally saw aman climbing to the roof of a nearby
building and warned local law enforcement officers. One officer climbed up to confront the
man, who pointed his rifle atthe officers, which is what Leanne was
saying. The officer climbed down theladder and then the man shot at Trump
and then the Secret Service snipers returnedfire and killed him. So I heard

(38:37):
a report that the officer that wasin at least close confrontation with the shooter
was unarmed and that's when he hitthe ground. And to Leanne's point,
he hit the ground because he felloff the ladder, which I guess makes
sense as well here. Former FBIdirecte part former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe

(39:04):
told CNN that ensuring there are noclear sight lines from potential shooter positions to
the person being protected as a basictactic there employed by Secret Service. The
buildings that the gunman climbed were outsidethe principal security perimeter. McCabe said.
When you look at the map,it so clearly points to those buildings that

(39:25):
are within it, clearly within shootingrange. So former agents say it's routine
to check structures outside the security perimeter. Why was the warning ignored? Why
were basic responsibilities not taken here.Well, that leads to a lot of
theories that I don't know at thispoint you could say are conspiracy theories.

(39:49):
Good morning, Richard, you're onnews radio eleven kfab. Good morning.
There's too many questions about what happened. You know, I don't want to
say that it's like a coup,but somehow the Secret Service is involved in
this up to their necks. Yeah, you know, I thought shared by

(40:10):
several Richard. I appreciate that call. Good morning, Sid You're on news
radio eleven kfab. Good morning.Early this morning on Fox News, they
were interviewing a man who I'm notreal sure what his position was. He
was involved in the security detail.Supposedly, the two local police officers,

(40:31):
one of them boosted the other oneup on his shoulders. When he looked
over the top of the building andsaw the guy turn the gun towards him,
he fell off of the shoulders andbefore anything else could get down,
that will thing occurred. You mightwant to check on that. On Fox
that was an interview by a guyin charge of the security of farther.

(40:53):
Yeah. Well, all all ofthis are just working around the big base
issue of why was really basic securityprotocol not followed. And that's where you
got a lot of people saying,all right, this is a coup that
goes all the way to the top. President Biden wanted Trump killed and told

(41:15):
the Secret Service, Uh, we'vegot someone. Here's where he's going to
be. He's been given all theinstruction. Take him out after he fires
the shots, and let him getup on the building. This would be
the plot of a movie that you'dlook at and go, yeah, that's
pretty basic. I could I couldsee this as a plot. So it's

(41:37):
it's a pretty easy knee jerk reactionfor people to say this, and of
course the resulting commentary afterwards for thosewho believe that this is what happened is
and we'll never know for sure.So here we are fifty sixty sixty years

(41:59):
later, after President Kennedy was assassinated, and you still have people saying that,
oh, this was a coup attemptingall the way to the well not
necessarily to the top, as thetop was President Kennedy, and I don't
think he ordered the shots fired onhimself. So but this is, you
know, the swamp of Washington.This was a coup attempt to assassinate the

(42:21):
president that exposed the dark CD underbellyof those real important power players within government.
People are still saying that. It'ssixty years later. All right,
let's talk to Ed. Good morning, Ed. You're on eleven ten kfab.

(42:42):
Yeah, I'd like to expound onsome of the points you just made
talking about movies and whatnot. Youever see the manchuri in candidate? Oh
yes, Well, mind control isreal. You can there's you can look
and see what our governments spent onstay it in the last sixty years.
And you know, none of usknow what happened right now, and maybe

(43:07):
that probably never will. But Ithink it's a good chance that this guy's
another Patsy like McVeigh or Oswalt.So you're one of those that, sixty
years later still says Oswalt didn't doit and we'll never know for sure.
Well, I think that's pretty clearthat Oswalt didn't do that. I don't
think he shot through a tree withthat man lick or rifle. Now,

(43:35):
all right, appreciate the call there, Ed. Like I said, you
know, Scott, I think we'veawakened the official conspiracy theorist here on the
so called pack of lies show ladiesand gentlemen, Lucy Chapman, how is
it that there are people who cannot, for even half a second to believe
or at least think that mk ultramight actually be true? And when I

(43:58):
say mk ulter, I'm talking aboutthe things your caller just talked about with
mind control and mind control studies.How can we not think that that might
at least be possible with the thingsthat we see that are real today,
like computers thinking for themselves, AI, they're training themselves. You've got any
kind of possible electronics that are doingunimaginable things just twenty years ago. How

(44:23):
far we've come that that we can'twe can't believe that there might be some
kind of a government experiment. Thisisn't this isn't a brand new thing,
I understand. So what led?People don't believe? What led the person
who tried to assassinate Reagan? Whatled to the person who tried to assassinate
the pope? What? What wasit? What was it that the person

(44:45):
that tried to assassinate president for itwas? What about Kennedy? What about
his brother? What about Martin LutherKing? What about anything? Other than
assassinations. What about the let's lookat it this way while stripping away all
the conspiracy from it. I'm surethat the people who grew up watching all
of that swath of about what twelveyear, well we'll go back to let

(45:09):
go twenty years, almost twenty yearsbetween Kennedy Reagan, you know, the
pope. I mean there was aswath there about twenty years where you're a
prominent person, you're probably going tobe assassinated. And I don't think anyone
could have felt like after the assassinationattempt on President Reagan that this would basically

(45:31):
calm down for years in a situationwhere if you're an assassin, you only
have to be right one time.If you're the Secret Service, you have
to be right every single time abouteverything. And for forty years, almost
fifty years, we haven't had thishappen. Anyone who grew up in the

(45:53):
sixties, seventies, early eighties probablynever thought we'd go this long between assassination
attempts on major political leaders in thiscountry. Well, first of all,
I find control or not. I'mnot suggesting that I am sold on mind
control myself personally. I'm saying Iam open to the idea that that might

(46:15):
happen. And as far as assassinationattempts, maybe we have not had any
shootings of a political figure in thelast forty years, but I got to
believe that some of the politicians thathave passed maybe not completely by natural causes.
Well, I can't. I'm justsaying political leaders are a little weird.

(46:37):
I know, political leaders of JeffreyEpstein. Yeah, it's you're saying
it's all the same, it's justgotten more sophisticated. No, not necessarily.
I'm not necessarily saying that. No, that's what a good conspiracy theorist
always says. Oh, well,I see vague exons. Well explain the

(46:58):
vague expursions. Well, I'm notsaying in there vegas versions. Sorry,
that's that's how this works. Thatis possible. Okay, we'll get back
to your phone calls next. Hangon, Scott only and Adam in the
Zonker's custom was inbox are saying,there it is. That's what I was
waiting for. Lucy's conspiracy theories aboutall of this. And then Charles says,

(47:19):
come on, Scott, let Lucytalk. Talking over her to muzzle
her ideas. Isn't cool. Ifyou disagree, at least let her articulate
so you can repudiate. That's fromCharles, Oh, I articulated for your
repudiated. Speaking in rhymes, thissounds like Jackie Chiles Seinfeldt. No,

(47:40):
it's I'm sorry, Charles. It'sLucy and I've been working together for not
long enough according to me, waytoo long according to her. And I
know how this works. Lucy says, Hey, I'm gonna plant the seed
like you're gonna water it and growit for us and cultivate it. No,
just planting this and then I'm backinto the hedges like Homer Simpson.

(48:01):
It doesn't always. No, I'mback into the hedges like Sean Spicer.
But it doesn't always happen that way. Is there anything else? I don't?
Nope, see see Charles. Seelet's have you have yours? Say
here on eleven ten KFAB. Goodmorning, Marie, You're on news radio

(48:22):
eleven KFA. Be welcome Hill,Good morning. On the evening, right
after the what happened in Butler,Pennsylvania, a former directed the Secret Service
that the problem that he saw andwas advising and I don't remember his name
is because everything is there they're givenall kinds of news right away. He

(48:45):
said they were treating him as aregular former president. It wasn't the amount
of secret service you need for notonly a former president, but someone running
for president who has several homes inNew York, Florida, coul He's all
over the world. And they saidthey didn't. They didn't treat it as

(49:07):
seriously as they should have with moremanpower. That was one thing that was
set And the other thing, Igot a conspiracy theory. Let's go with
this one and then you two figurethis out. When Trump went to the
White House to speak with Biden ina private conversation and he probably told him
drop those charges, called that judge, and now the charges are dropped this

(49:29):
morning. Gone, okay, allright, thank you, Marie. I
appreciate the call there. I'm gladthat you brought up there about the level
of Secret Service protection that Trump hador didn't have, because there are some
reports that noted that a staff memberfor a Congressman, Benny Thompson, who

(49:49):
is a Democrat out of Mississippi.A staff member for the congressman goes on
social media and says, I don'tcon his own violence, but please get
you some shooting lessons so you don'tmiss next time. It's a staff member
for a congressman, that person hasbeen fired by the congressman. And there

(50:12):
have been some stories that have pointedthat. Out Buried in these stories is
one other interesting nugget. The nuggetthe congressman himself, Democratic Representative Benny Thompson
and Mississippi filed a bill in theHouse just weeks ago attempting to strip Trump
of any Secret Service protection, arguingbecause he's a convicted felon, he shouldn't

(50:38):
get Secret Service protection. I'm gladMarie reminded me of that. Hello,
Kevin, you're on news radio eleventen KFAB. Good morning. Yeah.
I mean, with all your talkhere, I'm really wondering if you can
convince me that it wasn't an insidejob, considering they've scrubbed all the social

(51:01):
media concerning the shooter. They madesure he was a registered Republican, a
line of sight, the shoot wasfree and clear, and the shooter brought
a rifle and a ladder and noone stopped him. Did they promise him
he'd live after the events, I'mnot trying to convince anybody of anything,

(51:24):
Kevin. I think those questions shouldbe duly investigated by the FBI, and
of course there'll be a lot ofpeople who automatically, in defeat throw their
hands up and say, we'll neverget the answers to those questions. Good
morning, Terry, you're on eleventen kfab. Hey your Martin Scotton LISTI

(51:45):
hey, I just this morning myson showed me a video of that kid
on a black Rock commercial about twoyears ago. You know, it is
what it is that you know,like these conspiracy thory stuff. I'm with
Lucy on that. You know,I think this brain crap is something.
You know, that is what itis. But I'll just kick back and

(52:07):
listen to what you guys gotta sayabout it. Have a good day.
Gua, I haven't seen that one, and you won't. It's been scrubbed.
Yeah, well it appears to It'son the New York Post Oh okay
website. Blackrock has taken this ad, but it featured the kid. He
was in an ad for Blackrock,which is a big money manager and some

(52:30):
people say they're the ones funneling moneyto this and that and all the rest
of the stuff. There was anad that briefly featured this kid, the
now twenty year old who tried toassassinate the former president. He was in
He was a student at Bethel ParkHigh School. Appeared in the ad with
other teens, and he was justlooking at someone writing stuff on a blackboard.

(52:57):
Again, for conspiracy theory, that'sall the proof you need. For
others, It's a wild coincidence,isn't it. Hello, Beverly, You're
on eleven ten KFAB with Scott Vorhees. Good morning, Good morning. I
was kind of concerned when I watchedthe video that and I heard later on

(53:20):
from all these so called experts aboutwhat a great job the Secret Service was
doing protecting the president, especially theones that were up there on the stage
with him covering him. But whatI noticed when I watched the video was
that when they raised him up fromthe ground, he was fully exposed and

(53:40):
his chest was all exposed. Ifthere was a second gunman or something like
that, he could have been shotright then and there. Yeah, his
head was certainly exposed and his fist. Yes, now, I they there
was quite a bit of time.I mean, it goes by fairly quickly,

(54:00):
but there was enough time there wherethey got the word that it was
all clear, and that's when theygot Trump off the stage. But what
I saw was he was completely surroundedby Secret Service as they got him off
the stage, except of course,for his head. I appreciate the thoughts.
Beverly Brian, good morning. You'reon eleven to ten kfab good morning.

(54:21):
Thanks for taking the call, allthe hyperbole, all this aside from
what's going to be its goot sixtyyears from now, if it was a
conspiracy or not. One of thethings that kind of struck me was the
image when he was with his fistin the air. It's a very profound
image, but all of the shortcomingof the Secret Service. I feel it's

(54:47):
a call out that the Secret Serviceagents that were in that picture, how
they were puddled around him, youknow, willing to take a bullet.
Yeah, just thought that need tobe called out. No, absolutely,
Yeah, the former president fist inthe air, blood running from his ear

(55:09):
and on his hand, and theAmerican flag billowing in the background. An
amazing image. Of course, theNew York Times used the photo that some
people said had the flag digitally removedfrom that picture. For whatever reason you

(55:30):
can to me, you can kindof see where the flag is up kind
of in the background of that.Maybe in this particular moment the wind had
come through and the flag had flownup, But I don't know for those
who have used the image online,though, it is an indelible, indelible

(55:51):
image in our nation's history. Andif there's anyone who knows what it's like
to be Ivanka Trump, it's PattyDavis. If you're not familiar with that
name, I'll give you this storyhere. I appreciate all your calls on
this. By the way, EmerySonger will have much more in terms of
having phone lines open on his programafter Clay Travis and Buck Sexton coming up

(56:15):
between two and six this afternoon,we will give you a few other news
and notes here in the wake ofwhat happened over the weekend, including the
assessment of Patty Davis after a FoxNews update next Scott Coy's News Radio eleven
ten k FA. We've been immersedthis morning in that which has gripped the

(56:36):
nation since late Saturday afternoon early Saturdayevening, the assassination attempt on a former
president, and all that has beensaid and done afterwards, that which wasn't
done beforehand, a lot of questionsfor the Secret Service. And one person

(56:57):
that can relate, who can relateon what the Trump family has been going
through the last few days, it'sPatty Davis. Lucy, do you know
who Patty Davis is? You knowthat name? That is Ford's daughter?
Right, No, oh, Nixon'sno, oh, no, Reagan you
were you were in the vicinity?Yeah, yes, I knew that.

(57:17):
Wow, I know. I surehope Rex is listening. He'd be so
disappointed. Yeah, that's mister Lucy. Yeah, Patty Davis, the daughter
of Ronald Reagan, and she's writtena piece in the New York Times and
recalls the day in nineteen eighty onewhen her dad forgot to duck. Which

(57:38):
I was telling that story to myson yesterday because in his he's only fourteen,
So in his short life, there'sbeen a lot of political strife,
turmoil and so forth. But interms of political leaders being assassinated and you

(57:58):
know, shot, despite you knowwhat happened to Steve Scalise, despite the
threats and the very real possibility ofa Supreme Court justice being assassinated, you
know, that's not really anything that'sbeen on his radar. But stuff like
party candidates and presidents assassinated Kennedy,Ford, Reagan, other Kennedy, the

(58:22):
Pope, Martin Luther King. Imean, this was a pretty commonplace thing
in our country, but not somuch now. It's what's sadly commonplace,
it's school shootings. But in termsof assassinating these leaders, this was not.
And the fact that it happened toReagan and nine to eighty one,

(58:44):
I don't think a lot of peopleare real surprised by it, like,
oh, well, he's the latestpresident to take a bullet. And as
far as Reagan was concerned, hecame out obviously paid tribute to the victims
that day, but in terms ofhis own injuries, I mean, the
nation was pretty much told at thetime President's fine, and Reagan came out

(59:07):
talked about the call he had withhis wife, the first Lady Nancy,
where he said, Mommy, Iforgot to duck, you know, kind
of made a joke out of iton that respect. In terms of what
happened to him, it wasn't untilyears later we learned how close the President
Reagan was to being killed that day. He lost a lot of blood and

(59:30):
so Patty Davis knows in those minuteshours that followed, how close her own
dad was to being assassinated. Andshe's written here in the essay, she
says, there were, there was. Here's my mom sleeping with one of
my father's shirts pressed to her faceto breathe in his scent, praying for

(59:55):
him in the wake of this attempton his life. And as far as
the family being in shock, eventhough I mean, you can say,
well, it's not the same thing. Reagan was hit point blank range,
he lost a lot of blood,he was nearly killed. Trump had his
ear grazed. It's still the shock. And Patty Davis says, quote,

(01:00:16):
for all of the apparatus around apresident or a presidential candidate, for all
the planning, the security, itstill comes down to this. They are
flesh and blood. They are humanbeings, just like the rest of us,
and their lives can change in asplit second. It unravels you in
the first horrible, chaotic moments,and it rearranges you in the days and

(01:00:37):
years afterward. That's what she remembersgoing through. And let's see, how
old would she have been in nineteeneighty one, A teenager, early twenties,
maybe not real, real old,not real, real young. But

(01:01:00):
it hopes that the good that comesout of this might change the nation for
the better. It might shock usand do remembering who we are supposed to
be, which is not people riddledwith rage who use guns to sway an
election. She says, quote,I long for the America that wrapped itself
around my family after my father wasshot, and I pray we can find

(01:01:21):
that in ourselves. Again. Ithink a lot of people are completely nodding
in agreement, well at the sametime shaking their head, going yeah,
but they'll never act like that,like I said in the last hour,
And people say we need to calmdown the political rhetoric. What they mean
is you need to calm down thepolitical rhetoric. Anything we've said over on

(01:01:44):
this side of the political spectrum istotally fine. You need to calm it
down. Shoot, there are peoplewho say that Trump basically brought this on
himself and he needs to strike alevel of humility this week, basically apologizing
to America for nearly being assassinated.That it's Trump's fault that this happened.

(01:02:13):
Yeah, it's you can say aboutTrump, about Biden, about whatever political
leader. You can say I amnot a fan of this person. Here
are the reasons why. And thenyou debate the points you lay out.
I don't like this policy, Idon't like this thing he said. I
don't like this affiliation she has.I don't like you know, that's all

(01:02:37):
fair game. But then to takeit to the point of and well,
I guess the only thing I cando here is to stop this threat by
killing this person. That's a wholenew level. And I would argue,
not that there's anything wrong with calmingdown the political rhetoric, but let's take

(01:03:00):
it the other way. Let's saythe political rhetoric ramps up. Let's say
people like, that's it. We'renow closer than we've been in a one
hundred and sixty years in this countryto being in a civil war. We're
starting the civil war at noon.Load up on guns, bring your friends,

(01:03:20):
to quote Kurt Cobain, and we'restarting the civil war at noon.
So everyone just get out there andjust start. You know, ask someone
who are you going to vote forin November? And they're going to say
it's for whom are you going tovote? Shoot that person on principle for
correcting your grammar. But if youfind anyone out there who's going to vote
for someone other than whom you're goingto vote for, murder that person.

(01:03:42):
It all starts today. Let's justtake this down that road. We're ramping
up the political rhetoric. How manypeople in this country would hear that and
go, well, these are thewords I was waiting for. Sadly,
there are a few, but youknow what, they're already like that you
can tamp down the political rhetoric,they still want to go out and kill

(01:04:03):
somebody political or otherwise. There are, thankfully the I mean when I say
overwhelming majority, I don't mean sixtytwo percent. I mean ninety nine point
nine percent of us in this country. You could have Trump and Biden get
out there and start yelling at oneanother saying when is someone going to murder

(01:04:25):
that guy? And ninety nine pointnine percent of us in this country would
say, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not going to kill anybody.
I don't care how inflame the politicalrhetoric gets. So this whole idea of
we need to calm down the rhetoric, look at it the other way.
If you ramp it up, doesthat mean that you're going to be inspired

(01:04:46):
to murder somebody. I hope not. I wouldn't be. I'm gonna go
out on this limb with you andsay you wouldn't be. Your co workers
would, but your family members.Well, I got some people out there
that has some pretty deranged things tosay about Yeah, but there they might
cowardly say some crap on social media, but they're not going to go murder

(01:05:11):
somebody, you know. So thiswhole idea that I longed for the America
that wrapped itself around my family,says Patty Davis when my father was shot.
I pray we can find that inourselves again most of it. Most
of us have it in ourselves.I mean to the point that we're not
going to go out there and engagein violence. So people say like,

(01:05:36):
well, this is this is sobad. It's gotten so bad. M
there have always been crazy people outthere trying to do crazy stuff. I'm
not downplaying what happened to Trump,certainly not. This is definitely one of
those moments that should give pause toeverything we've said and done in this country

(01:05:56):
and figure out how we can bestmove forward. You know what I would
have to have seen on Saturday Night? I would have loved Biden not to
you know, cut short his tripto I don't know if he was Delaware
Camp David, he was someplace oneof those places like he's going back to
the White House. I admit Irolled my eyes and said, why what's

(01:06:19):
I'm in the situation room for what? But I don't know. I'm not
the president. I don't know.You know what I would have loved to
have had. I would have lovedon Saturday night for Trump and Biden to
get together, sit down and havea beer together, to have to share

(01:06:43):
some laughs, to have some pointedcomments like well I was pretty mad at
you and you did you know?And back and forth, just to get
together like a couple of men,like a couple of grown men. They
can argue about their golf handicap andhave a laugh. They can talk about
the direction of the country, andthey can dig in, but it doesn't
have to get hateful. I wouldhave loved that if that had happened on

(01:07:05):
Saturday night. And we all havedreams, right, And one more thing,
Lucy, do you know who wassupposed to join us on the show
today who we had to cancel becauseof all the news? I never know
