Episode 922 – Shocked But Not Surprised

Tucker Carlson hit it on the head last year.

The Latest

Here is the latest news of the Trump assassination attempts:

  • The shooter’s name is Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old man.
    • Explosives were found in his car and at his home.
    • He lived about 1 1/2 hours from the rally.
    • He used his father’s AR-15. Not much is known about the legality of the gun.
    • He had left-leaning ties though he was a registered Republican. Not much is known about that.
  • Trump will arrive at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Monday as originally planned.
  • One man, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore of Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed shielding his family from bullets.

The Secret Service

There are some issues with the Secret Service that are going to have to be addressed:

  • How did this guy get onto the roof only 130 yards away from Donald Trump?
  • When people saw the assassin, what took so long for the Secret Service snipers to react?
    • It was policy. A very bad policy.
    • The shooter must shoot first.
    • Any action must be cleared by supervisors first.
    • The shooter shot before anything could be done.
    • The video shows people were screaming about the shooter and the snipers saw him also.
  • Is DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) an issue? I’d say it is.
    • Three of Trump’s bodyguards were women a foot shorter than Trump.
    • One woman couldn’t holster her weapon.
    • All three women looked completely confused.
    • Kimberly Cheadle, the director of the Secret Service, said she wants to increase the number of women to 30% over her tenure. She said it was her priority. Shouldn’t her priority be to protect the president and former president?
    • Is she hiring people that will meet her DEI quota or is she hiring the best people? I think we know the answer to that question.

The Media

Maybe This Had Something to Do With It

Another Crazy Conspiracy Theory

The Nut Jobs

It is always a shock to see something like this. But this wasn’t a surprise. The tried to impeach him twice, tried to take his money, tried to shutter his businesses and take his property, tried to ruin his reputation and are trying to throw him in prison. Nothing else has worked.

This is all they have left. Don’t be surprised if this happens again.

More Information

Here is some more information that I heard but has been confirmed:

  • The Secret Service had fewer agents with Trump because Jill Biden was holding an event near by. I don’t know how near or anything. JILL BIDEN?! REALLY?!
  • Trump only had two snipers with him and the rest of his detailed was very overworked.
  • The Secret Service was responsible for the rally area, local police were responsible outside of the perimeter.
  • The shooter was confronted by a local policeman on the roof. The rifle was pointed at him and he ducked down. The shooter turned and started shooting.
  • Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter, was called a potential school shooter by his classmates. There are always red flags.
