All right, what's going on with Trump and all of these alleged assassination attempts? I keep reading reporting that as it pertains to Butler, he's not interested. And all investigations are shut down. And I think we all, for the longest time have had some itch in the back of our brain that something just seemed incredibly off about all of that, that a person is up on of a roof. We all know that law enforce, enforcement, the first thing they do is secure, you know, roofs to make sure there isn't an active shooter or anything up there. And the, the staged photo, how the Secret Service allowed for that to happen was really, really weird. And then after the stage photo, how much Trump has used it, marketed off of it, profited off of it, had a portrait made of it, hung in the White House, has a meme coin called fight, fight, fight. I mean, it's almost as though it were scripted. So you may remember during this alleged assassination attempt, that firefighter was shot and killed and his wife is speaking out on the Butler shooting. And this is a bombshell. Let's play the clip.
Progressive Truck Insurance Announcer
Belief that the gunman, Thomas Crooks didn't act alone.
Podcast Co-host
I don't believe there was another shooter there, but I believe that he was working with somebody.
Podcast Host
I believe it was inside. It was an inside job inside the government somewhere.
Progressive Truck Insurance Announcer
And this was a political.
Podcast Co-host
Oh, yeah, political, Absolutely.
Podcast Host
Yep. Okay, so what we don't know here is when she says inside government, is she talking about that maybe somebody was trying to assassinate Trump and then Trump, this person took the stray bullet or is she suggesting that it was staged? I don't know. I, I don't know what she means. But if I'm her, in her position and I hear the President say, yeah, at least she got a million dollars out of it, Remember how he was like, you know, she's probably pretty happy she didn't have to live with that guy anymore. And she's got a million dollars. Like a really bizarre thing to say for somebody who quote, unquote, took a bullet for the President. I just think this whole Butler thing has a little bit of legs to it. But we're not the only ones. Over on the other side of the Internet, the right wing media ecosystem, they're really sounding the siren, sirens about all of this. All of the people that have jumped off the Trump train, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, etc, are all like, yeah, that seems weird. All kind of throwing Trump under the bus on this.
Podcast Co-host
Well, why wouldn't they be? Here's the thing, in the beginning I was like, that seems pretty weird. But I didn't want to call it a conspiracy. But what I've learned over the last, you know, Trump being back in office is there is nothing. There is no lie too big, There is no moral conundrum too big. There is no life worthy other than that of the furor that they are willing to do anything to keep, get and keep this man in power. So that's my premise going in. And then you have, Trump has failed and specifically, I believe, squashed all the medical reporting about what happened to his ear. And his ear, we're wearing maxi pads because of the blood. And then you look at his hair today, I mean, his hands are falling apart, his ankles are about to burst out of his shoes, his ears, perfect, looks great, no problem. And then you hear no evidence about Thomas Crooks, what he was thinking, why he did it, why was there family members, nothing. It is crickets. So to me, if you're talking about a conspiracy, look at where the transparency is, look at where the COVID up is. And I just don't think it's that big of a stretch to say Trump's lagging behind, he doesn't have the momentum. If there is one thing the American people love, it is rallying behind someone they believe has been, you know, attacked violently. And immediately it was the left, they're trying to kill him, all that. It's just crickets about this. I don't trust it.
Podcast Host
Yeah. And if you think about the reality as if this was staged, let's just go down that rabbit hole Trump was facing prison. I mean, he was, he was facing that he was going to go to prison. He was running out of money. The. He was lagging in the polls at this point. This was a complete game changer for him. And if he had insiders in the Secret Service, which we all know when we've all seen these, the stats, that law enforcement leans towards Trump heavily. And we know that previous in history, autocrats have staged assassination attempts to get public opinion to rally around them. It did just that. And then think about how, how diabolical if this were staged and that this man died and then Trump, you know, because he doesn't. Death doesn't really mean anything to him. It's like, well, I mean, she got some money, she's probably pretty. She's really actually better off. I can't remember what the exact quote, but it was pretty alarming. And so it's just, I think it's something that is a pesky little subject that is going to keep coming up because I think all of us are not buying it. And then let's shift gears a little bit. Todd Blanch, at his confirmation hearing, he says he didn't identify any other men that Epstein trafficked to victims. Let's play this clip. Who, if Anyone else, did Mr. Epstein
Podcast Co-host
traffic young women to.
Progressive Truck Insurance Announcer
There's, there's. From what we learned, from what we know. So when we know, I mean, what's in the FBI files and what's in the DOJ files, we did not identify evidence. And by we, I mean career prosecutors. Not, not me.
Podcast Host
What career prosecutor are you referring to? Alex Acosta that gave him the sweetheart deal, that then got an appointment in Trump 1.0. He's lying.
Podcast Co-host
These.
Podcast Host
They are lying to us about the Epstein files. They are liars. They used it to exploit the electorate to get Trump elected, knowing full well that so many of these men, even the oligarchs that bent the knee first, the most powerful and well positioned among us to resist Beny first, are in the Epstein files. So many people that Trump appointed to his cabinet are in the Epstein files. But most importantly, Trump himself is in it, per Jamie Raskin over 1 million times. Here's the thing.
Podcast Co-host
Trump admitted in the Vanity Fair article way back when that he and Jeffrey were good buddies and, you know, we saw the birthday cardi s, you know, we share common interests, all that kind of shit. But here's what's so damning about that. And, and the end of the day, I think he'll be confirmed because I think these Republicans have No spine, and they're cowards. But the, the FBI came up and said, okay, we know we have four co conspirators and, and we're going to redact those names, but then we're going to re release. So this is just the most provable lie on the planet. And you know what else? He still hasn't talked to survivors. They can tell you who's in these files, they can tell you the men, but he doesn't want to, and he doesn't want to do it on pur. And he sat there and lied about it yesterday in front of survivors, just like Pam Bondi. This is such an indictment about the fall of law and order, about how people in this party do not give a shit if little girls and little boys are sex trafficked and raped as long as they can stay in power. That's what this man did. He just put a big sign over his head that says, I don't give a fuck about pedophilia. What I carry about, what I care about is sucking on Donald Trump's left butt cheek.
Podcast Host
And I think it's important to point out that he will not talk to survivors. But he did go very inappropriately speak to Ghislaine Maxwell, which was completely against all DOJ policy in the manner that he did it. And after he spoke to her, she was transferred to a cream puff, powder puff prison where she has a dog and I believe he has a pardon waiting for her so that she keeps her mouth shut. And so this is an administration that protects sex traffickers, convicted ones. This is an administration that protects pedophiles. This is an administration that is an anti family, anti child, pro pedophilia death cult. Every single nominee, every single Republican that votes along with this, from Susan Collins all the way to little Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson, that want to lecture all of us about the country, about patriotism, about decency, about morals, they're all in on the fix. The fix is in on the Epstein files. And that man right there, Todd Blanche, fixed it. He fixed it so that Ghislaine wouldn't sing like a bird.

Senator John Ossoff of Georgia is really doing some incredible work in confirmation hearings and he humiliated Trump's nominee for dni, Jay Clayton yesterday. Enjoy this clip Public but you refuse
Senator John Ossoff
to answer a simple matter of fact about the 2020 election. Is that right?
Podcast Host
No, that's not right.
Senator John Ossoff
Then answer the question. Who won 2020 election? I have answered the question. Answer it. What is your answer?
Podcast Host
I've given you my answer.
Senator John Ossoff
What is your answer? You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election now, but you asked to lead America's intelligence community. Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's delusions?
Podcast Host
And that last question right there really gets to the heart of it. And this is yet Jay Clayton is a trad wife. He is a submissive person to Donald Trump. These people are so morally rotten. Imagine, viewer, imagine, listener, how easy it would be to be sitting there and they ask you a question, who won the 2020 election? And you answer, Joe Biden. And then the next question comes along. If these people sit there and indulge the delusions, the pathological lying, the corruption of a man that wears a full face of makeup, every single that doesn't give a about the American people and doesn't give a about that guy. The only thing he gives a about is that man's answer to that question. Everything, everybody that Trump supports is predicated upon blind obedience to him. The willingness willfully walking into places to pathologically lie and humiliate yourself. That is why these people are hired. This is intentional. It is on purpose. The display of all of that is intentional. And it is on purpose. And we must, every single time we analyze what's happening here, we must understand that this is intentional, that they choose these people to prime the electorate, that corruption is here. These people get to be corrupt, these people get to pathologically lie. And we plebs down here need to sit and mind our own business and hopefully they send us some crumbs.
Podcast Co-host
I completely agree. And what's so terrifying about this, that this is a man, he is going to be, if confirmed, very involved in the midterm election and the election results. And that on top of gerrymandering and ICE agents and at the voting booth and, you know, Pete Hegseth putting the military on the ground and Americans, all the that's coming that we know is coming, he's the person in the room that's supposed to speak truth to power. Does anybody think that he's going to do that? I mean, nobody that Trump would hire, because you're right, they're hired. So they won't say that. But his position is intricately involved with elections and election integrity. And we saw what Tulsi Gabbard did. She went to Georgia, she took all the ballots. I think that compared to what this guy's going to do is child's play.
Podcast Host
Well, and that was a dry run. That was a dry run to see if they could do it. So what's going to happen, in my opinion, is that. And other election experts have kind of alluded that this is probably what that dry run was, that after the midterms they send the feds in to go collect paper ballots so that they are unable to be counted and oh, they got lost and oh, they got destroyed or oh, they were all illegal immigrants. But that's exactly what's going to happen. And we're learning more details about Trump's prime time speech that is scheduled for this evening. Pop this up. President Trump will allege Chinese meddling in U. S. Elections during his primetime speech tomorrow. Of course he's going to do that. And then in closing, the late Lady Graham is getting a special guest at his funeral. Pop this up. Netanyahu is set to fly to Washington D.C. on Saturday night to attend Lindsey Graham's funeral. Netanyahu also plans to meet with Trump during his visit. Of course he's coming. I wonder if he's to bring his massage boyfriend, the late Lady Graham's massage boyfriend. I don't think for a second, for a second that these people genuinely like each other. What they like is that they share a bond that they will all kill people and make each other feel okay about it and normalize it, that they will all grab power and lie and propagandize to the American public and the Israeli public and the world at large about doing it. That's the bond that these people have. If Benjamin Netanyahu were a big ambassador for democracy, real democracy, would he be a Trump supporter? No, he wouldn't be. These are bad actors. They are pathological liars and they are cold blooded killers. And the evidence confirms everything that I just said.
Podcast Co-host
It absolutely does. And this surprises me. 0 I mean, Netanyahu probably mourns Lindsey Graham's death way more than Donald Trump because he was doing everything straight down the line. And I just, I just want to. There are countries in Europe that if Benjamin Netanyahu sat down, he would be arrested for war crimes, I. E. Spain is the one that comes off the top of my head, but not in America. We will treat him with the hero's welcome. And it's disgusting.
