[0:00] Oh wow, another once-in-a-lifetime, nearly reality-shattering moment has happened again [0:05] to a generation of people who are cursed to live in interesting times. [0:08] Over the weekend, there was yet another assassination attempt against Donald Trump, [0:12] and it once again displayed an administration that barely seems to be operational, [0:16] after a guy from Southern California who seems to have had an otherwise pretty normal and average life [0:22] was able to load firearms into a hotel that would be hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner [0:26] before charging the entrance and nearly making his way into the ballroom, [0:29] where basically every member of the administration and the media were in attendance. [0:35] The end result of this latest assassination attempt was the arrest of 31-year-old Cole Allen, [0:39] followed by a serious conversation about gun control in this... [0:43] Sorry, I'm just kidding. [0:44] Trump and nearly every terminally online member of the MAGAverse pounced on the moment to demand [0:50] Ballroom! Ballroom! Ballroom! What do we want? Ballroom! [0:54] When do we want it? Ballroom! [0:56] They demanded that Trump is allowed to build his big, beautiful ballroom, [1:01] so that this can never happen again. [1:05] But to be fair, TMZ reached out to some experts on the subject of security at the Washington Hilton Hotel, [1:12] and here's what John Hinckley Jr., god damn... [1:16] John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan at this exact hotel, [1:21] and who now leads a humble life as a singer-songwriter on the internet. [1:25] That's right. [1:25] Here's what he had to say. [1:26] Hinkley said it was spooky to find out the WHCD shooting took place at the same hotel as mine did. [1:34] Hinkley is now calling on the hotel to stop holding events there because bad things keep happening, [1:38] and it's just not a secure place to hold big events. [1:41] To illustrate his point, Hinkley described what happened back in 81 when he showed up at the hotel [1:46] to shoot Reagan. [1:47] He said back then the security was lax too because he was able to sneak into a crowd of reporters [1:54] waiting outside the hotel for Reagan to exit after delivering a speech. [1:57] He said Secret Service agents never checked whether he was a reporter during their sweeps. [2:01] I mean, the fact that we've lived long enough to see John Hinckley released from his mental hospital [2:07] and then get interviewed as an expert on presidential assassination attempts is quite remarkable. [2:13] Yeah, I mean, just one of those things. The fact that he is alive and available [2:20] and ready to make a comment on this exact thing is pretty astonishing. [2:24] And unfortunately, every time he books a gig, it gets canceled. [2:27] He gets canceled, yeah. [2:27] He's the most canceled man in America. [2:29] He spent all of his time at the mental institution playing guitar and writing songs, [2:34] and now he has no way to show those off. [2:37] Well, he does have a YouTube channel. [2:38] Well, no way in the venue. [2:40] But yeah, he can't go outside. People don't like him. [2:43] But how did this latest attempt happen? [2:44] What were the alleged shooter's motivations? [2:46] How close did he actually get to the president? [2:48] And was this all just some giant conspiracy to get the public to support Trump's ballroom? [2:54] Libs have gotten so fucking annoying. [2:56] Yeah, that last one, no. No, it's not a conspiracy. [2:59] Um, Occam's Razor, but we just don't think that an administration that is incapable of doing [3:04] anything correctly is orchestrating these things. And for what? For a ballroom? [3:08] And how many times has this happened? It's crazy. [3:11] It's, just ask yourself, like, the most unpopular president maybe in history, [3:17] do you think it's possible that in a nation of hundreds of millions of people, there might be [3:21] one or two here or there that, uh, want to shoot him? [3:25] Or is this, like, the third, is this the third highly orchestrated from the top-down [3:29] assassination attempt that, uh, so far has yielded no results? [3:33] Yeah, like, for what? What's the point? [3:35] The ballroom. It's such a, it's, it, I don't know. [3:38] He's already doing the ballroom. [3:39] Yeah, I don't get, it's, but people are off on their conspiracy theories. [3:44] Also, like, the guy's manifesto, like, clearly laid out all of the reasons. [3:48] All things considered, like, it's pretty, I mean, you'd think they'd go with, like, [3:52] Antifa or something. This is the most, like, basic-ass lib fucking manifesto I've ever seen. [3:57] Yeah, uh, the shooter in this scenario has an extensive public history. [4:02] He was captured alive and had sent messages, or what is described as a manifesto, [4:06] to his family members in the moments leading up to the assassination attempt. [4:10] And after seeing multiple breakdowns of the area surrounding the ballroom, [4:13] inside the hotel, including 3D walkthroughs of the area, [4:17] this guy didn't get as close to the president as early reports made it seem. [4:20] No. [4:21] He wasn't in the room. He wasn't anywhere near the stage. [4:24] He wasn't, uh, he hadn't even gone down to the level that the ballroom entrance was on. [4:28] So- [4:29] And there was no way he would've, like- [4:31] No. It was guarded pretty heavily. [4:33] Yeah. [4:34] Yeah. [4:34] Despite his ability to prepare without much scrutiny, [4:37] once he made his mad dash to the ballroom, he was very quickly taken down by Secret Service. [4:42] Still, the scene was extremely dangerous and chaotic. [4:44] Hundreds of people, including journalists and anchors from these news stations, [4:48] were all hiding under their tables, except for one guy. [4:51] An executive from the talent agency, CAA, who sat there, unbothered, eating his salad, [4:57] and was later quoted saying something to the effect of, [4:59] I just wanted to see what was going on. [5:00] Hmm. CAA. Talent agent. [5:03] Did he cast the talent in this facade? [5:08] Yeah. [5:09] We're just asking questions. [5:10] It's, like, crazy. Like, literally within five seconds. [5:15] People are like, fake. [5:16] And it's like, do you want to at least, like, wait until we find out, like, any- [5:19] Nope. It's fake. [5:21] And, uh, yeah, it's weird how, how conspiratorial everyone has gotten. [5:29] Yeah. [5:30] Well, I mean, I kind of, I get it. [5:31] I get it too. [5:32] But, like, it's not good. [5:34] No. [5:36] Anyway, as for the alleged shooter himself, like we said, [5:38] he's a 31-year-old local boy named Cole Allen from Torrance, California. [5:43] And based on his social media presence, he seems to be an otherwise normal lib, [5:47] who worked as a teacher, apparently worked on some video games, and then started, uh, [5:52] buying guns and preparing to do something he would later describe as [5:55] awful in messages to his family. [5:58] Those messages, which were forwarded to local police from his family, and it's being [6:02] described as the shooter's manifesto, included his reasoning behind the attempt, [6:07] an acceptance that he would probably die during the attempt, and then some added [6:11] statements about the noticeable lack of security at the Washington D.C. Hilton [6:15] as he planned his attacks. New York Post was actually the first to break this [6:19] manifesto, so here's some of their reporting from the weekend. We're not [6:23] going to read all of the messages, but there's links in the description below. [6:27] Yeah. [6:27] According to the outlet, these messages were sent from the suspect [6:30] 10 minutes before the assassination attempt. [6:33] Allen wrote that his targets were administration officials, not including [6:36] FBI Director Cash Patel. [6:38] What? Weird. [6:39] Prioritized from highest ranking to lowest. [6:41] I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to [6:44] cope my hands with his crimes, Allen wrote, apparently referring to the president. [6:48] In order to minimize casualties, I will be using buckshot rather than slugs, [6:51] less penetration through walls, he wrote, before disturbingly admitting he was willing [6:55] to kill everyone in the room if it meant getting to his targets. [6:58] I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were [7:01] absolutely necessary on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, [7:05] rapist, and traitor and are thus complicit, but I really hope it doesn't come to that. [7:09] He also, that's a little, the way they frame that is a little dishonest, he had like a whole [7:16] priority of targets section of what he wrote where he said he was going to avoid as much as possible [7:25] hurting anyone not directly within Trump's circle and also not Cash Patel for some reason. [7:31] Yeah, that was an odd statement within everything else. But yeah, Allen referred to his Christian faith [7:36] several times in the document within a list of rebuttals to imagined objections to his actions. [7:41] He also made mention of hot button political issues like the Trump administration's strikes [7:45] on Venezuelan drug boats and the detention of illegal migrants. Again, Venezuela, Washington, [7:49] fucking, the New York Post is so fucking trash. There's even more, like they, they, [7:54] they start describing the emotions of this, of these messages in ways that are just like, [8:01] they're just pulling it out of thin air. I believe the New York Post also just published the [8:05] thing verbatim. And I highly recommend just read that because this is the, I don't, [8:09] the editorializing of this is pretty wild, but he wrote turning the other cheek is for when you [8:14] yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person raped in a detention camp. I'm not the fisherman executed [8:20] without trial. I'm not a school kid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many [8:24] criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not [8:29] Christian behavior. It is complicity in the oppressor's crimes. [8:32] And he ended the messages with those observations about security at the hotel and explained how he [8:38] felt in the moments leading up to it. Like the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into [8:43] the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there [8:47] considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside focused on [8:52] protesters and current arrivals because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in [8:58] the day before. Like this level of incompetence is insane. And I very sincerely hope it's corrected [9:03] by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again. Like if I was an Iranian agent [9:08] instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn ma deuce in here and no one would have [9:14] noticed shit. Actually insane. Oh, and if anyone is curious how doing something like this feels, [9:20] it's awful. I want to throw up. I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will [9:24] for all the people whose trust this betrays. I experienced rage thinking about everything [9:28] this administration has done. Can't really recommend it. Stay in school kids. And the way, [9:34] yeah, the way it is written is really fascinating. It's very, it's very young millennial. It starts [9:39] off with basically like, so I did a thing. Well, cause you may have noticed I have done something [9:46] noteworthy. He took the Amtrak from LA to DC. Yeah, Union Station to Chicago and then DC. It's like [9:52] a whole week long ride. It's not efficient at all. It's very slow, but that's how he got the guns. [9:58] But yeah, the president was presented with some of the quotes from those messages on Sunday while [10:03] speaking with 60 Minutes host Nora O'Donnell, who simply read them to the president only to watch him [10:09] absolutely explode on her for doing so. We can't show this clip because it's CBS, but she even at one [10:16] point attempts to walk him out of the tantrum that he has started on by giving him some plausible [10:21] deniability that the quote might not actually be aimed at him. Yeah. Mr. President. The pedophile [10:25] could have been anyone. Yeah. He immediately was like, I'm no, I'm no, I'm no pedophile. [10:29] Yeah. Trump barreled forward and called his new favorite news channel, a big pile of garbage run [10:33] by horrible people here. And by the way, like he did multiple meetings with CBS executives and the [10:40] Ellisons leading up to the white house correspondence dinner and the person sitting next to him when, [10:44] by the way, the footage of Trump finding out that there's an attempt happening and having to be [10:49] shuffled out of the room is also very surreal because he looks like he's falling asleep as usual. [10:54] There's a mentalist doing some kind of magic trick. Yeah. To Carolyn Levitt and and Melania Trump. [11:00] And Trump's just kind of like, oh, wow. And they're like, Mr. President, there's an attack on your life. [11:04] Oh, wow. He just kind of doesn't acknowledge what's going on. Yeah. A lot of the conspiracy people, [11:09] they're like, look at everyone reacting to the shots. And Trump's just sitting there. I'm like, [11:13] yeah, he's fucking senile. Yeah, that's that's just what he does. He's barely there mentally. [11:19] Of course, he's going to react a little slower than everyone else. But yeah, here's some Bobby [11:24] Kennedy, too. They're like, look at RFK Jr. He must have known this was happening. Like, no, [11:28] he's just an old freak. Yeah, they're just getting shuffled out by. And yeah, and as people have people, [11:33] why I didn't point this out, but like there's no shortage of coverage about the Secret Service [11:39] detail and like who they prioritize. And it's like, yeah, of course, they're going to prioritize [11:43] the people who are in charge of the conflict, this administration. So like the fact that Cheryl [11:48] Hines is running behind the Secret Service agents, it's like, yeah, I mean, Stephen Miller did run [11:52] behind his pregnant wife. That was pretty funny. And he was grabbing her boob. But depending on the [11:58] angle that they're at, he might have actually been got like he might have been in the direct line. [12:04] It's just thought it was funny. Yeah. But here's some quotes from that 60 minutes [12:08] piece between Trump and Norah O'Donnell. The shooter wrote, I am no longer willing to permit [12:12] a pedophile rapist and traitor to cope my hands with his crimes. What's your response to that? [12:17] Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're, [12:21] yeah, you're horrible, horrible people, horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm, [12:26] I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. Oh, you, you, do you think he was referring to you? [12:30] I'm not a pedophile. Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick [12:36] person. I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. [12:42] Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, [12:46] let's say Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview and [12:51] they'll probably, I read the manifesto, you know, he's a sick person, but you should be ashamed of [12:56] yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. Mr. President, these are the gunman's [13:01] words. And I was never, excuse me, excuse me. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 minutes. [13:05] You're a disgrace, but go ahead. Let's finish the interview. And if you're wondering whether [13:11] or not this latest assassination attempt would spark some conversations around easy access to [13:15] firearms or I don't know, any level of gun control at all. Nope. Just gotta build that ballroom and [13:20] also get ABC to finally once and for all fire Jimmy Kimmel. What did he do this time? In the hours that [13:26] followed the assassination attempt, the Trumps became retroactively upset about a joke that Kimmel made last week, [13:31] where he described Melania as having the glow of an expectant widow, which I mean. [13:36] What did Jimmy Kimmel know? Was he in on it? [13:38] Obviously, Trump is a very old, very unhealthy man whose wife seems to dislike him very much. [13:45] It's a pretty basic joke, but now they're using it to once again attempt him to get fired from ABC. [13:51] Here's CNN. President Trump called Monday for ABC to fire late night host Jimmy Kimmel after he jokingly [13:57] called First Lady Melania Trump an expectant widow during a White House Correspondents dinner skit on his [14:02] show last week. Hours earlier, Melania Trump had implied Kimmel should lose his job over the same [14:07] comments. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC, Trump said in a truth social post [14:13] calling the joke a despicable call to violence. His monologue about my family isn't comedy. His words [14:21] are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. Melania Trump said in a statement on [14:27] X Monday morning. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening [14:32] to spread hate. A coward. Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running [14:38] cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's [14:45] leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community? She continued. Uh, so first [14:51] of all, she definitely didn't write that. But second of all, it is funny. I love army. It is funny that [14:57] she. Piss on earth. Fuck Christmas. Piss on the earth. But it is funny that she didn't write it. But [15:03] even if she did, she chose to post it on X and not her husband's own social media, uh, uh, company that [15:09] is apparently struggling financially and could really use the engagement. So yeah, uh, the Trump's criticism [15:15] sets up a major free speech stress test for ABC's parent company, Disney, amid ongoing public scrutiny of how [15:21] major corporations respond to presidential pressure. Representatives for ABC and Kimmel have not [15:27] responded to CNN's requests for comment. Which, if they really think Kimmel's somehow responsible [15:33] for something that happened a few days after he made a joke, uh, wait until they find out what [15:38] White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt said at the actual event itself. There will be some shots fired [15:43] tonight in the room. Damn, what did Carolyn know? What did she know? And why didn't the mentalist tell [15:49] anyone? Yeah. Oh yeah. That's a good question because they, yeah. I think that's one of their [15:54] powers. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. He should have, instead of the baby, he was trying to guess her baby's name [15:59] or something. It should have said, get out, run. Yeah. Yeah. If he was a real mentalist. A lot of [16:03] people were in on this. Even the mentalists. And like we mentioned at the start, one of the other [16:08] results of this event was that every MAGA chud that you could think of, they all posted at basically [16:13] the same time demanding that Trump be allowed to immediately restart construction on the ballroom. [16:18] Unfortunately for all of them, the nonprofit responsible for the so-called halt in construction [16:24] said that they will not be dropping that lawsuit. Sorry. Here's the Washington Post. The National [16:29] Trust for Historic Preservation said it would continue its legal challenge to President Donald [16:33] Trump's planned ballroom, rejecting a Justice Department demand to drop the case because of [16:37] the shooting this weekend at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The shooting was an awful event, [16:42] but did not change the legal reality that the constitution and federal law required Trump to get [16:46] Congress's approval for the $400 million White House ballroom project, the trust said. The nonprofit, [16:52] which is authorized by Congress to protect federal buildings, pushed back sharply against the Justice [16:56] Department's contention that the lawsuit endangers the president. They should just let Trump ride around [17:01] in like a Popemobile made specifically for him. I feel like that. It should be just in a bubble at all [17:06] times. I mean, at this point, like he kind of has to be, right? I mean, a lot of people want, [17:14] like I didn't even like, I, you know, I knew about Butler and then the guy on the golf course, but like [17:20] I was on the Wikipedia. It's just like, uh, it's not like attempts on Trump's life, but it's like [17:25] something even more vague than that. And it's just such a long fucking list. I'm like, wow, this man, [17:30] this man has been dodging death on a regular basis for over 10 years now. Anyway, it continues. [17:35] Your assertion that this lawsuit puts the president's life at grave risk is incorrect and [17:39] irresponsible. Gregory Craig, a Foley Hoag lawyer representing the National Trust wrote to Justice [17:44] Department lawyers on Sunday. Simply put, this case does not jeopardize the president's safety [17:49] in any way. Trump called the Washington Hilton, not a particularly secure building and said the [17:55] incident would have never happened at his planned White House facility, which he says will feature [18:00] bulletproof glass, drone proof roofing and very major medical facilities. What? There's going to be a [18:07] little doctor's office in the ballroom. Well, maybe under it on in the military facility. [18:11] Under every seat, you got a cat, uh, you got a tourniquets. Uh, yeah, they should do like on a [18:17] plane trauma kit under every seat. Yeah. Instead of the life vest, you get a trauma kit. Yeah. I mean, [18:21] they look, this is another thing that people have brought up since this happened is because there [18:26] were so many journalists and anchors there and they, and they all got to experience what it's like to [18:30] be in an active suit shooter situation. People have said that, oh, you know, you mean like what the [18:36] students in America's schools feel every day? You mean that fear? And as you say, like jokingly, [18:42] to put some kind of medical supplies in there, like every classroom in America probably has some [18:47] form of trauma pack in it now. Yeah. They also have a bucket full of, uh, dog or cat litter. [18:54] So that the kids can poop in it. The furries, it's for the furries. All the journalists are good. [18:59] It's also, God, the fucking social media was insufferable right after this. Obviously like a bunch of [19:06] people were in the vicinity of a potentially pretty violent thing, but like the self-righteousness [19:11] of the American like media, like you guys didn't say fucking shit when hundreds of journalists in [19:20] Gaza and dozens of journalists in Iran and Lebanon and other places were killed by the U.S. or by the [19:29] U.S.'s allies. It was just like, yeah, them's the brakes. It's like, oh, you, one bad thing happens to [19:35] you. And, uh, it's the end of the fucking world. I don't know. It's, it's annoying. [19:40] Yeah. There was like, I think one of the posts that summed it up featured a video of one of the [19:46] journalists filming themselves. And he just said pro tip for upcoming journalists, film the thing [19:52] that's happening, meaning point the camera, the other direction. Yeah. Uh, on Sunday afternoon, [19:58] acting attorney general, Todd Blanche posted a justice department letter, pressing the trust's [20:02] law firm to end this unnecessary and dangerous litigation. It's dangerous. The longer you let [20:08] this drag on, the, the more in danger our president will be. He needs to have his parties, [20:15] gosh darn it. He needs a ballroom. So the rep for the national trust points out that construction [20:19] hasn't actually stopped because the injunction is on hold, though construction is supposed to stop [20:25] by June 5th. But right now the ballroom is still currently under construction. Yeah. And I feel like [20:30] the fact that the Trump administration has been ignoring the, the, the very, uh, blatant, [20:35] like Jeffrey Epstein stuff would make me believe that they would probably also ignore, uh, any court [20:41] deciding that they should stop construction. Yeah. They don't fucking care what courts say. They just [20:45] do whatever they want. Yeah. But the final result of this event was once again, an attack on Democrats and [20:50] the left for their frequent and unhinged use of so-called dangerous rhetoric. They are right now in [20:57] lockstep saying that Democrats caused this and that the only thing that can stop it is building [21:01] a big, beautiful ballroom. It's the only thing we can do. The Democrats have used rhetoric referring [21:06] to ICE agents as the Gestapo, Trump's secret police. They can't help themselves. Like this is a real [21:14] sickness. And what we're saying is this has to be addressed. At a minimum, we have to have a safe place [21:19] to protect the president of the United States and the cabinet officials if they want to gather or [21:23] there's a state dinner or a crowd more than like a hundred people. If you don't think 400 million [21:28] dollars of taxpayer money is a good investment to create a secure facility at the White House [21:34] where the president of the United States, the vice president, the cabinet and people from the public [21:39] can come and, you know, uh, have a meal and gather without what happened Saturday, then I disagree. [21:47] This is the number one job of the federal government is national security. So you are, uh, [21:53] disappointed with the security. What needs to be done now? [21:57] Well, I think we got to build that ballroom as soon as possible. We can't have functions like this [22:01] on, on things that aren't secure. Uh, trying to stop a ballroom. It's all [22:05] just Trump derangement, uh, syndrome. A ballroom is imperative. The ballroom [22:11] will, will be a solution for this because it'll be on the most secure compound in the world. It won't [22:16] have hotel rooms above it and it'll have seven inch thick glass, for example, on the windows. [22:21] But the idea that Dems are somehow the party of violent rhetoric is pretty [22:24] fucking rich coming from an administration that has been, for the last six weeks or so, [22:29] giddily fantasizing about destroying an entire civilization. Literally assassinated a foreign [22:34] head of state. Mm-hmm. They've also spent months making memes of their abuse and dehumanizing [22:40] treatment of people both here and abroad. So, no, you don't actually get to wag your finger at anyone. [22:47] That's crazy. Yeah. You guys love political violence. It's like your main thing. That's all [22:52] Trump tweets about. Yeah. It's like pretty central to your entire political project is political [22:59] violence. Although... It's just when you, when sometimes it comes from the other direction. [23:03] Yeah. And what I can only imagine is the Trump administration's version of trying to tone down [23:07] the rhetoric. The president has apparently put his support behind an idea to change the name of ICE [23:12] to NICE, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. That's the fucking stupidest [23:18] thing I've ever heard. Yeah. From the Hill. The idea was promoted by conservative influencer [23:24] Alyssa Marie last month. I want Trump to change ICE to NICE, so the media has to say NICE agents all day, [23:30] every day, Marie wrote in a March post on social platform X. Late Sunday evening, [23:35] the president publicly endorsed the switch. Great idea! Do it! Trump wrote in a truth social post. [23:41] Other conservative influencers chimed in with statements of support. [23:44] 100% agree. Make it happen, Secretary Mullen DHS, Nick Sorter wrote in a post on X, urging Secretary of [23:52] Homeland Security Mark Wayne Mullen to support the change. A federal agency name change typically requires [23:57] congressional action through legislation to amend the statutory authority that established the agency. [24:05] However, the Trump administration has sought to change the name of the Department of Defense to the [24:09] Department of War without congressional buy-in. Uh-huh. Anyways, the latest on all this is that [24:16] as of Monday afternoon, Cole Allen had appeared in court for the first time and was officially charged [24:20] with attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, a charge that carries a sentence of [24:25] up to life in prison if convicted. He was also charged with transportation of a firearm and ammunition [24:30] through interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in [24:34] prison if convicted. The third count Allen was charged with was discharge of a firearm during a crime of [24:39] violence, which can carry a sentence of an additional term of mandatory minimum of 10 years. And a lot [24:44] of people have pointed out that there were no charges of shooting an officer, so there were [24:49] questions as to whose bullets actually ended up in a Secret Service agent's Kevlar vest. Yeah, um, yeah, [24:55] it's been very unclear. Like they said his gun discharged, but they, yeah, there were no charges of [25:00] him actually like assaulting a police officer or... Yeah, which like it, the way things played out, [25:05] like it doesn't make a ton of sense for him to have just like started shooting, I mean, I don't [25:10] know. But if you look at the video of him, like he's trucking it through the, towards the ballroom. [25:15] It seems a lot more likely that a Secret Service agent fired off a shot and did some friendly fire, [25:21] but we don't know and it's weird that we don't know. And uh, apologies, but uh, this story obviously [25:27] overtook just anything else that happened or was going to happen over the weekend. [25:31] Even before the correspondence dinner, Trump canceled the plans for JD Vance and Jared [25:35] Kushner to go to Pakistan for those peace talks because it would have been pointless. Yep. [25:41] Probably better off to just send nothing. Mm-hmm. [25:44] Now we'll obviously have more to talk about in the next video, but just so this one isn't solely [25:48] focused on this Trump almost getting shot again news, you absolutely have to watch this clip [25:54] of Russell Brand desperately trying to find a Bible verse and failing. It's cringeworthy. [26:01] It's funny because it exposes him for the total piece of shit charlatan that he is. [26:05] But yeah, if you weren't aware, Russell Brand is facing a bunch of sexual assault charges. [26:11] Um, and you know, just knowing his entire persona for the peak of his career, you hear [26:16] what these allegations are and you're like, yeah, seems pretty believable. [26:20] So, uh, yeah, in the wake of these allegations, he has converted to Christianity in order to pray [26:26] to Jesus and excuse all of his horrific behavior. Yeah. [26:30] But in order to do that, he's got to act like a reformed God-loving Christian, [26:34] which he failed to do when appearing on Piers Morgan's show recently. [26:39] Here's just a sample of the clip. The full thing is linked below as well as a link to [26:44] Vic Berger's edit, which makes it 10 times as painful to watch. [26:47] Vic Berger's edit is so fucking good. And it really doesn't do that much other than like, [26:52] it does a couple of like cuts and zooms in, but it makes it so much better. And [26:55] even without the, the Berger edit, like the fact that Russell Brand essentially said, [27:01] like Piers Morgan goes, uh, well, I heard about this, this passage and Russell Brand essentially goes, [27:06] I'm so glad you asked. Like, and to, to lose it after that, after like thanking the host for bringing up [27:13] it is just very funny. That, was that the one you took into court? [27:18] Yeah, the very one. Okay. What was your thinking of taking it into court? And what you were seeing, [27:23] looking at some passages, what were the relevant passages for you? [27:26] All right. Thank you for asking me. Thank you. That didn't hurt, did it? [27:30] A little bit. Um, it was this from Isaiah. You're right. But I did say, you know, be chilled. [27:41] Sometimes I lose the chill, man. It's pretty, it's this. I don't like that, do they in the old [28:00] gallery? But remember you just said it's a hired spot. This is from Isaiah. It says here. [28:36] All right. That's it for this episode. We will definitely be back with more this week, [28:50] but no sponsors. So obviously click the join button if you feel like it. No sponsor on our [28:55] presidential assassination. Probably for the best. Oh yeah. So yeah, you click the join button or just [29:01] leave a comment, leave a like on the video. Discuss all your favorite conspiracy theories in the [29:05] comments section below because there's plenty of them. And like the fact that one of the conspiracy [29:11] theories is that they wanted to do the ballroom and then every Republican goes, you know what? [29:14] Yeah. Is pretty well. Uh, anyways, watch the other clips over here and we'll see you soon. Bye.
