Speaker 1 (00:03):
Morning. You're about to enter the arena and join the
Battle to save America with your host, Sean Parnell. Good evening, America,
Welcome to the Battle Crew. You were watching Battleground Live.
I'm your host, Sean Parnell. I'm a combat veteran New
York Times bestselling author. More important than that, simply a
(00:26):
humble servant of this great country. Now listen to me, folks.
This weekend in America, everything changed, and I feel like
I was blessed and cursed both. I speak for both
my wife and I to be at ground zero for
everything that went down at the Trump rally. I spoke
(00:50):
at the rally thirty minutes before the attack. Commander Melanie,
my wife and I spent time with the President, and
we were twenty feet away from the assassination attempt and
everything that followed. Tonight, you are going to get an
insider perspective on all of it. There are a lot
(01:10):
of talking heads out there that have a lot of
opinions on the rally, very few of them are actually there.
Commander Mellie and I were actually there. And also tonight
we've got on deck Savage Rich Barris and a surprise
guest for you that I'm going to introduce you all
to here in a little while. So from sea to
Shiney Sea and everybody in between, welcome to America's patriots.
(01:35):
Right off the top, let me just thank members of
the battle crew for being there for me and my
family and all the rumble Rant tips that we have.
So that is that straight to Ken Ultra Dory Whiskey,
Demanda Hammer. Thank you. One hundred percent of the tips
in the rumble rants during this live show go to
(01:57):
improving the studio and bringing you a better quality program.
So thank you all. Folks. Listen to me this. Can
you believe that just last week we did an entire
show on the Big Boy Presser about whether not Biden
is staying or going and like whether or not he
(02:18):
craps his pants at a presser. Doesn't it feel like
an eternity has passed since then? Can you feel as
if like the tide has finally turned? And I'm not
trying to make to cheapen what happened, but so much
has happened over the past week, and it feels like
we're living in a different country, you know. And so
(02:40):
as of just today, the news has been changing so
so much. But the classified Docs case, bead eyed little
freak Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, that communist bastard that he
is Classified Docs case dismissed by Judge Cannon gone. So
Big Fanny case in Georgia gone, Judge Wan Murshawn. There
(03:03):
is a in Sloppy Alvin Bragg up in New York.
There is a real good chance, because of the Supreme
Court's ruling on presidential immunity, that that case is going
to be declared a mistrial. That's gone Supreme Court completely gutted.
Bead Eyed little freak, Jacksmith's special prosecutors cases in Washington, DC,
those are likely gone. Trump survives an assassination attempt on
(03:26):
the over the weekend. Are you tired of winning yet?
I'm not tired of winning it. The only thing left
to do is actually win, and which we are on
our way to doing. We're not no talks of red wave,
no talks of landslides here on this show, because we're
going to bust our assets from now until election day.
(03:46):
Can't deny the moment, right, And of course, just before
we come on this show, my friend jd Vance, Vice
President pick now, I told you, right, I kind of
called the jd Evan's thing. Now, I know many of
you have concerns, but I'm gonna need you all to
trust me on this. I know jd Vance, he's a friend,
(04:08):
He's come a long way. He understands the moment that
we are in. He understands what Trump represents. He is loyal.
You just just you might take a leap of faith,
but you've got to trust me on that. He is
a great and I mean great vice presidential pick for
Donald Trump. And I'm so psyched for him. I'm psyched
(04:29):
for his family, and I'm psyched for the president. You know,
jd Vance, there's a smart policy guy. He's he's he's
loyal to Donald Trump. He's a populist, wants to bring
American jobs back here to this country. Right wing populism
is so important in this moment. It's important to remember
that we don't just live and we don't just live
(04:51):
in an economy. We have a nation where it's our
leader's jobs to take care of people. And so I'm
hearing rumblings from in inside the Biden White House that
the Biden administration, they just the staffers who surround Joe
Biden have resigned themselves to a loss that it's only
(05:14):
it's only a matter of time before Biden loses to Trump.
And it's a great thing, America. It's a great thing
when your political foes morale has been totally wiped out.
And so it's our job now to not be complacent,
(05:34):
but to seize the initiative in advance on the political battlefield. Okay,
let's get to the subject of tonight's episode, and that's
the assassination attempt on President Trump. The Trump rally. You know, folks,
I've been on the stage with President Trump five times now.
(05:57):
I've been to Trump rallies many many times. They are
like a patriotic rock concert, exactly the opposite of what
the media have you believe that they are. Everything that
is good about America is at a Trump rally. You know,
we talk about the exceptional nature of this country. The
(06:18):
exceptional nature nature of this country is not and never
will be found in political leaders. Yes, of course, some
of them are larger than life. Trump is the right
man for the right moment. He believed that he was
put here on this earth like for a reason to
lead this country. Now. But what makes this country exceptional
(06:42):
and what makes Trump the man he is today. The
people of America and the people that go to that
that were at that Trump rally, those are the people
that built this country, whose family built this country. Those
are the people who love this country, who willing to
show up and sacrifice for this country. In some cases
(07:03):
served or their children serving, have a legacy of service.
Many of the people there were hammer swingers, carpenters, you
know mason worked in masonry, worked in unions, plumbers, electricians, teachers, veterans, cops.
They were all there. But something about this Trump rally
(07:23):
was different from the moment we walked in. And I
mean that, and I don't know if I can speak
for other folks who are there, who I'm sure are watching,
but it felt surreal to me in a lot of ways.
It felt like just something was in the air. And
so Commander to Melanie and I went in. We got
(07:43):
an opportunity to meet with President Trump. We spent some
time with him. He asked about the state of play
in Pennsylvania, said we're just going to bring into the
administration when we win. I guess he really liked my
He listened. The guy is so sharp. He listened to
my entire speech. On the way to the rally, He's like,
(08:06):
your speech was amazing. It's great. You're too talented to
be on the sidelines. And I'm not disclosing anything that
I think he wouldn't be as like a private conversation.
It's just I mean, if he brings me in into
his administration, great, I'd be happy to serve in any
way that he thinks would be appropriate. I mean, that
would be an honor. But if it doesn't happen, I
understand that too. I'm just saying he's like, he looks
(08:27):
at my wife, Melanie, goes, what happened to your husband
with those ballots in twenty twenty? Terrible? Terrible. So guy knows,
he remembers. He's sharp as hell, he was in good spirits.
He was laser focused on winning, and so prior to
the rally, I had recommended to the Trump campaign. I said,
listen to me talking to some of my friends who
(08:50):
were working in and around the on the Trump campaign,
I said, you've got to reach out to missus Fogel,
who is Mark Fogel's mother, who is a Western Pennsylvania
resident who is thrown in a Russian gulag and has
been there for three years, sentenced to fourteen years for
a prescribed medical marijuana for an actual I think he
has MS or something like that. He's he's been languishing
(09:13):
in a Russian gulag for three freaking years, and Biden
administration has completely effing ignored his family. I mean completely,
like Missus Fogel can't get in contact with anyone in
the Biden administration, of the Biden State Department. It's a
travesty of epic, epic proportions. So I said, listen, you
(09:35):
have an opportunity here. Let's let's get missus Fogel to
this rally. She's like ninety five years old. The family
is absolutely desperate, and more than that, it's the right
damn thing to do. Leaders lead in moments that are tough.
Leaders lead when shit hits the fan. That's when leaders
(09:58):
are needed most. And I said that President Trump's voice
has enormous power. And you know what that guy did.
You know what his campaign did. It took less than
two hours for them to invite Missus Fogel to that rally,
and she was there and met with President Trump, ninety
five years old, right after me. And you know what
President Trump said to Missus Fogel again for those who
(10:20):
are just joining as Missus Fogel ninety five years old
son languishing in a Russian gulag for three years, completely
effing ignored by the Biden administration. But hey, we'll get
Britney Grinder home and we'll you know, trade, you know,
some of the worst arms dealers and terrorists on the
face of the planet with her because her politics aligned
with the Biden administration. But oh, just a teacher from Pennsylvania.
(10:40):
Leave him there at a rot. So Trump meets with
Missus Fogel and says to her and says to her
straight up, I'm gonna get your son back. We're gonna
get your son home. And I had an opportunity to
meet with Missus Fogel behind the scenes prior to going
(11:04):
to meet with President Trump, and she was filled with hope.
And what I saw for the first time in a
very long time, she had tears in her eyes because
she's been ignored by her government and been ignored by
the Biden administration. But Trump, his words have power. He's
(11:26):
the most famous guy in the world, but the most
electrifying political candidate of my lifetime. But he's a leader,
and all around the world when Trump speaks, people listen.
Whether they like him or not is completely effing irrelevant.
The media would be like, well, Trump's not liked around
the world. At the media, they suck. Trump is respected
(11:46):
around the world. Who gives a shit whether or not
he's liked, He's respected. And Trump looked that woman in
the eye and said, we're going to get your son back.
And I believe him. And then Melanie and I went
back to our seats and we were sitting if you
were looking at the screen, Commander Melanie and I were
(12:08):
sitting directly to the left of the president, probably twenty
ish feet away from the podium where he spoke, in
the first row, in the first row. But when I
say there was something in the air, that it was there.
(12:29):
It was Call me crazy all you want, but it
was tangible. This is what I mean when I was speaking.
This happened with the flag. Have a look at this picture.
You see that that's me on the stage, and that's
the flag right there got twisted. It was hanging from
two pieces of construction equipment, but it got twisted. What
does that look like to you? I mean, it looks
(12:51):
I've heard people been having people send me this from
multiple different angles, you know, I've been at People say
it looks like an eagle. People say it looks like
an a people say it looks like Jesus on the cross.
When I was on that stage, I felt something something
to me that was similar when I felt and I
had this near death experience in Afghanistan that most of
(13:13):
you all, I've told you before, some of you. They
get knocked unconscious, fractured. My skug got blown up by
a rocket propel grenade and I was unconscious, and I
could have sworn I thought I was dead, But I
could have sworn I heard my grandfather's voice telling me
to get pushed me back into the fight, into the
land of the living. And I'm telling you, you call
(13:34):
me crazy all you want, but on that stage, I
felt the same damn thing. I felt the same damn thing.
And so when I say that there was something in
the air, I meant there was something in the air,
and I don't know what it was, but it was real.
It was real. And so we went back out and
(13:54):
Donald Trump comes out on the stage and the place
goes absolutely crazy. And Donald Trump immediately does what Donald
Trump does and says, you know, I'm gonna go off script.
I tell my team I hate these teleprompters. I don't
like them. They're borring. Do we have my immigration graphic?
You know? And I'm paraphrasing here, Oh, my favorite immigration graphic.
(14:15):
Let's throw it up there on the screen. And Trump
turns his head. I guess if you're looking, he's looking
at this. If he's facing out to the crowd, he
turns his head like this. You see that arrow. Immigration
was at its lowest point under my administration right there,
you know. And he turns back and he engages the
crowd and talks to the crowd, and then he turns
his head like this and cranes his head just like this,
(14:36):
and I'm watching the entire time from twenty feet away.
He points up there, and as he turns his head,
five shots ring out. Trump grabs his ear hits get
hits the floor in the prone. And by the way,
it was exactly the right thing to do in a
sniper situation. Hit the prone, take cover immediately. That's what
(14:56):
Trump did, and the Secret Service was on him. Neately
knew that we were under sniper fire. I just remember
grabbing my wife and getting her down into the prone
as flat as flat as possible on the ground and
trying to encourage everybody to take cover. And people were
saying in the moment, oh, it's firecrackers. I'm like, it's
not firecrackers or the sniper. Everybody take cover, And that's
(15:19):
sort of when all hell broke loose. But before I
break all this down for you, I got a surprise
guest and I want to bring her on. It's my
amazing wife who was there with me, Commander Melanie Comany. Welcome. Hello, Hi,
your hair, you look great. So do you remember the
(15:42):
President gesturing? Wasn't it crazy to hear the shots go out?
Shots go off? He hits the ground, Secret services on him?
What was that?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You were there? You witnessed these.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Before I heard anybody say anything. I heard the noise
and then I saw I remember the plume of smoke
that went up over his head on the on the
left hand side of the stage like him, and I
remember starting to think to myself, like, that's really weird
that somebody has a firecracker here. That was my first
thought too. But before I could even before I could
even finish the thought, you were you yelled out something
(16:18):
like that, it's a shooter, or you said something like that,
you said get down, get down, You pushed it down.
You were telling everybody around us to get down.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And what were you thinking. I have to tell you,
as your husband, I was. I have been in many, many,
many firefights, more firefights than I care to recount. I
have never been in a firefight with my wife. And
so now you and I have this in common. We've
both been shot at before. And I hate to laugh,
(16:47):
but it's like you either in these moments, you either
laugh or you cry, and crying is just not it's
just not an option.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But well, in your first fiction book you wrote, you
wrote about being in a firefight with your mother, So
now you've actually lived through being in a sort of
with your with your wife. I just I was you.
I just couldn't. It was the most surreal moment of
my life. I could not believe that that it was happening.
I didn't see. I knew that the president had been hit,
(17:14):
but I didn't see anything else. Of course, we were
you had everybody down on the ground, and we're keeping
trying to keep everybody safe, and so we didn't see
when President Trump got back up so everybody around us
is saying, you know, the president was hit, Is he okay?
Nobody knew anything.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It was.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It was absolutely terrifying. People said, you know, we saw
that he had had blood on his People were saying
he had blood on his face, blood on his head,
and other people were saying they got him out of there,
but we didn't know or I didn't know if he
was if they just took him out of there, and
if he was going to be okay. So it was
absolutely terrifying. It wasn't terrified for myself. I was just
terrified for for what may have happened to Trump and
(17:51):
what that would mean mean to our country. So we're
lying down there and you kept you were telling everybody
to stay down, but you kept popping your head up,
and I was getting I was scared for you. I
kept yelling at you to get down, get down.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, is that what you said? Get down? Would you say?
Would you? Actually?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I said, I think I smacked you on your leg
and said, Sean, get your head. I think I screamed
that at you a couple of times, but you were
you weren't listening.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
To me, So I just I just want to tell
you you know, first of all, just so everybody's out
there tracking, this woman was under fire, and she handles
herself like a complete pro first of all. But part
of the reason why I was poking my head up
because instantly I knew that there was a sniper fire
from the sound of the round cracking over my head.
It was round going supersonic, and then hearing the muzzle
(18:41):
blast after, I knew that the shooter had to be
very close. And so anytime that you're under sniper fire, like,
the first thing that a leader is supposed to do
is ascertain the position of the actual shooter. And in
the moment, in order for me to do that, I
had to be up on a knee. But I was
making sure that you were down there like in the prone.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But well, we thought there was more than one shooter.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I cannot emphasize that enough we were under we were.
I was operating under the assumption that was more than
one shooter. And the reason for that is because an
hydraulic line to the on the construction field vehicle to
the right of President Trump, which was on the opposite
side of the stage seven, and so I thought that
there were a shooter coming from the opposite direction as well.
And so the way that this went down, five or
(19:24):
six shots President hit hit grazed in the ear Secret
Service on them, thump thump from the counter sniper team,
which is how I'm processing this, which is a heavier
caliber round sent down range at the actual shooter. And
then at the exact same moment that those those those
rounds fired, uh the sniper, the shooter shot a couple
(19:45):
of more and I believe that's when the rounds impacted
tragically to the people who were sitting right behind us.
But as I was looking, Melanie, as I'm looking around
for the shooter, do you remember what I said to
you in that moment? Do you remember what I said
to every everybody else? I said, shooters in one or
two locations that building or that water tower, right, And
(20:07):
I want to give people like that, there is a
really good there's a really good graphic on this. Let
me see if I can see, if I can show
you this, let me see, let me see, let me see.
Still not an expert at all this, but.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What was going through my head is this, this might
just be the beginning. There may be somebody else there,
something more might happen.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
That's right. That's right. So I don't know if you
all can see that, but if you look at the
blue line, that red box on the left is where
the shooter was. That's the building. You can see the
water tower there, and you can see the direct that
that building has a direct line of sight to where
Trump is sitting, and where the arrowhead is is right
where Melanie and I were. So when I say that
(20:50):
we heard the rounds crack right over her heads, I
am not bullsitting you. That's exactly what happened the bleachers
where people got hit. If you can see my cursor
is right behind the sniper with the with the yellow line,
the friendly sniper was on this building, clear line of
sight to the shooter. So when I say I was
down looking for a location to the shooter, I immediately
(21:10):
saw that building and I immediately saw the water tower.
And so if I thought that in the moment, there's
no way that the Secret Service did not know about that.
They had to have known about that. And so well,
we met rallies.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
You know, this was the fifth one that we went to.
And we've been at rallies before, and you know, we've
brought our kids before. They were going to come with us.
This time it was too hot. I'm glad we kept
them home. But we always thought, hey, there's no safer
place to be than a Trump rally. You know, they're
all the Secret Service around, you have all these if
you remember the one we did in Moon, there were
(21:47):
lots of buildings, higher buildings around us, but you look
up behind you and on every one of the rooftops
there's a sniper there, you know, Secret Service or whatever.
So it was just shocking that that wouldn't have been
the same situation here at this rally.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So do you remember when the people were shot and
I was trying to get an assessment of how badly
they were hit, and they were moving the casualties.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
We didn't realize that at first we knew the president
had been hit, but it felt like it took a
couple of minutes before we heard people saying, we have
people hit, we have people hit hit. And you stood
up and started trying to get the police over there
and tell them yeah, calling for.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
A medic yeah. And at that point give you all
a sense of what were in my mind was the
Secret Service had their mission and that was to get
the president. The police had their mission. They were going
after the shooter, and they were helping with initial casualties,
but there were thirty thousand people there more. When you
first get shot at, everybody goes through the same thing eventually,
(22:52):
and it's this process in some way, shape or form.
Holy shit, somebody's trying to kill me that I don't
even know. And when you wrap your mind around the
existential realities of that, it's like, kill me like everything
that I was, everything that I am now, and everything
that I will be. And in my mind, you know,
(23:13):
I'm sure that there are people in the crowd that
had been shot at, but my thought was the vast
majority had probably had not, and all were processing it
at that exact moment. And as I'm talking about this
or processing this, because I'm trying to figure out how
we can get people to move and move out of there.
And the reason why I'm trying to ascertain the position
of the sniper is because you make a determination can
(23:35):
you move people right? Is it possible? And if you can,
how do you x fill them? How do you get
them out? And with best using cover and concealment. That's
why I had to find the location of the shooter
because I knew that we had thirty thousand people that
has just been through a shitload, and at that exact
moment I'm processing that Trump, he kind of stands up.
(23:55):
We couldn't real see him because he was covered with
Secret Service, but I just see his fist and the
crowd go absolute lutely insane, and I knew that at
that point he had to be okay. I knew that
at that point the shooter was likely down as well,
because police were saying the shooter was down. And at
that point it just became time to move people.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
You know, I do remember them saying shooter down. I
do you remember hearing that?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, And so we started moving people. But as we
started moving people there, it was ninety five degrees. People
were sitting outside, there were heat casualties, like people were
falling out left and right, and so I was evacting people,
trying to push the crowd along with you know, a
couple other patriots, JD. Longo and Rico Elmore who JD.
Longo Marine Corvette, Rico Elmore Air Force. So here we're
(24:39):
all working together in crowd control and trying to move
people to the exits safely. And people start falling out
from heat causies. You remember that, Yes, I mean it
was a.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Really hot day. It was ninety five degrees there. The
sun was beating down. People had been there for hours.
There were a lot of people, you know, a lot
of older people, a lot of people you know, like
you said, in wheelchairs and things. So it was already
and then the stress of what they had just seen
and been through.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So it was just a disaster, it really was. I mean,
and and like people were, people were I mean, I
don't want to say a thousand yard stare like it's
a negative thing, but I'm telling you, I've seen grown
men who were trained get shot at react like that
in combat. It just is a jarring thing, a traumatic thing,
(25:24):
especially when you're seeing somebody, I mean Corey, the man
who lost his life, who I met briefly when I
was running for Congress. I mean, somebody takes a shot
to the head. It's not it's not good. And a
lot of people around us witnessed that and saw that,
and I think we're really struggling to comprehend the moment,
(25:46):
and so started moving people out, and I just remember, Melanie,
I don't remember a whole lot about this, but I
just remember picking people up and I just started carrying
him to the Metavact station.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right, Yes, you you were. And there's like a news
clip of it too, that that we have you carrying
you JD and a bunch of other folks carrying just
carrying people there. I was trying to run after you
and keep up with you. You said, stay out here,
go take cover somewhere. So I went and fraud under
a tractor trailer with another couple of people, because again
(26:18):
we didn't know, we didn't know if that was the
only shooter. We knew there was a shooter down, but
we didn't know if there was someone else there who
wanted to do us harm.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
So so tell everybody where I told you to take cover.
How to take cover. This is very important.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Tire of a tractor trailer.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, if you have the opportunity and you're ever in
a situation like the best place like behind it, behind
a tire, right, use the tire and actual body of
the car itself. That's the best place to take cover.
If you ever find yourself in a situation like this,
but trying to get the heat casualty's taken care of
and move the move the crowd out, and then it
was just like there were wheelchairs people who were left behind,
(26:57):
not like left behind intentionally, but elderly people being pushed
in wheelchairs being pushed by elderly people. Thirty thousand people
trying to leave the same exit. Kind of hard to
push a wheelchair over gravel, over grass, especially if you're
elderly in the ninety seventy degree heat. They were just
left there and they were just sitting targets.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
You were pushing them around you in your suit. Yeah,
stored while you were doing that. So now you have
an excuse to never put a suit on again, because it's.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yes, I have one suit and it was one suit
and it was ruined. But you got the wheelchair folks
covering concealment. I remember pushing one down, got him to
his car, got you secured in our car, and then
I went back in to get the rest of the
wheelchair people out. And we didn't get out of the
rally folks. I mean, we weren't done evacuating people until
(27:47):
I think eight thirty, right, Melanie, about eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Probably close to that. We didn't get home until about
nine thirty, and we came home to the biggest hugs
of our life from the kids.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It was crazy. It was crazy, and I mean I
was done evacuating people. Yeah about about no. Eight thirty.
We got home a lot later than nine thirty, a
lot later, right, because because we sat there and the
it was just jam packed. They had the whole place
on lockdown, and they had some sort of electron what
they call ECM, electronic countermeasure. So all of my family,
(28:22):
I mean, I had one hundred text messages, and you know,
we got Savage rich Baris on deck, but he's texting me.
All my family members texted me. I couldn't respond because
they had an electronic countermeasure, again operating under the assumption
that there were two people that were shooting. This was
a planned attack. Well, a cell phone can send a
text message to detonate NID. If you've got everybody in
(28:43):
cars driving in the same direction, using the same exit point,
it's called a choke point. God forbid, they have something
planted there, so they I think they had some sort
of electronic countermeasure to stop someone blowing and improvised explosive device.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So we were I was trying desperate to text the
kids because I was afraid that I didn't want them
to see something on the news first and be worried
about us and text the kids, text my my mom,
text my dad, like get these people on the you know,
and you just couldn't. And I was so I just
did not want the kids to be sitting at home
thinking something bad had happened to us. I was trying
(29:17):
to let them know that we were saving. You just
couldn't get a signal out.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Okay, bring Savage rich On. Welcome to oh Savage and
Commander Melanie Rich. I want to get your perspective because
you know you and I talked today on the show.
And also, by the way, Savage Rich meet Commander Melanie.
Commander Melanie meets Savage Rich. Nice to meet you.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He's commander.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Commander so.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And all series and it's glad you're okay, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I want to talk about the media. Well first let's talk.
I want to talk to you about rich Trump's reaction
because I didn't see it like you saw it on
the television. Yeah to me, just give you all my
perspective him rising up, blood on his face, raising his
fist and saying fight. And you could hear him on
(30:08):
the audio arguing with secret Service, let me up, let
me up. Yeah, yeah, wait wait wait, let me up.
And he's saying fight, fight, fight. That is exactly the
image Americans, Americans needed from a president and a leader
right now with America just being leader lists rich. What
do you think.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Teddy Roosevelt took a bullet in his bible. I believe
it is stopped most of the bullet from going in. Nonetheless,
he was hurt, and he finished his speech and wanted
the American public to know what he was saying and
that he doesn't go down that easily. Andrew Jackson when
an assassin tried to shoot him as an old man,
(30:48):
beat the hell out of him with his cane. Donald
Trump is like a throwback to those guys, you know where.
He was going to let the world. He was gonna
let people who incited against him because, let's face it,
we all know he hears about the threats all the time.
He hears about the danger all the time. He was
gonna let them know. But most importantly, Sean, he was
(31:09):
gonna let his his supporters know. You know, you know
that that that I'm here, I'm not shook. I'm gonna
keep fighting and you need to keep fighting too, don't
let them win. And it takes a big man to do. Look,
I don't care what these haters think about Donald Trump.
You won't see Barack Obama do that, all right? That
(31:30):
little man would hide and duck under that podium in
a second. Let's face it, all right. Uh, and there's
just Mitt Romney.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
He'd be position. Wait would big Mike be coward? How
would big Mike react?
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Come on, don of me without talking about Big Mike.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Knows though, what that seriously feels like to know that
someone is trying to kill you. You don't even know
where they're coming from. You operate under the assumption there
was two shooters. He obviously must have thought the worst
that there were two shooters. And I mean, that's like
you don't know where it's coming from, You don't know
how many there are. You just know there are bullets
coming at you. That's all your brain can process in
(32:12):
that moment.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
And he still did that.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I just don't know anyone, any leader of any party
running for president, wanting to run for president, whatever it
may be, who you could expect that out of. And again,
like you've been trained, but you know that you can't
train for something like that. A reaction to being under
(32:37):
fire the way that Donald Trump gave is like bread
into your bones. It's bred into your DNA. I mean,
I've seen men who've been through the best training in
the world break the minute they hear what you just
talked about before I was listening. You know, folks, when,
especially when it's that close, you kind of like feel
it and you hear the whiz before you hear the
sound or the crack of the firing on the web.
(32:59):
That's how close it is. The bullet's traveling so fast
your body's aware of it before you hear the sound
and you realize it's a gunshot coming at you. I mean,
Sean Ben, I've seen guys who have been through the ringer.
You know, there's nothing else you can do to prepare them.
When they get in that position, just break. And it
takes a certain kind of man to behave like that
(33:21):
under that kind of pressure. And it goes to show,
you know I was saying on the show before you
came on today, It's like, you know, that's why when
all the lobby, the Farm Policy Blob, every other president
met resistance for something like this, imagine like moving the
embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and all of this
pressure comes down to bear and George Bush breaks, Barack
(33:42):
Obama breaks. They all promised it. Donald Trump is like,
kiss it, man, I promised the photo. You know, he
can take that kind of pressure and he can have
that kind of courage and stand up to that. And
now we all know why, because he's got that kind
of gut or like visceral courage I don't mean stinctual
(34:03):
courage that you really can't train someone to have. They
either have that or they don't. And he's got it, man,
And the whole world just saw it, the whole country,
the whole world.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Just so.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I got a call for my friend in Scotland. He
was like, wow, man, I hate that guy. He's the boss,
you know. I mean that is a boss move. That
is the best picture out of America ever. Like he's
just like, ah, you know, yeah, it was inspirational reasonal
and they're all leftists over there, he thought it was.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, it's hard not to. I mean you had chenk
Unger from the Young the Young Turds Young Kirks saying
saying like this guy is hard core liberal. I mean
like hardcore liberal. He's like, Okay, that was badass. You
got me. And if that guy is saying that what
Trump did was inspirational and badass, what do you think
(34:54):
it's gonna do for independent voters. Let me take a
quick break, and then, Commander Melanie, I'm coming to you
with a question. We're talking to Savage Rich Barris, my
good friend who's the director of Big Data poll and
host of Inside the Numbers, best pollster in the business.
We're talking to also my wife who is with me
at the Trump rally, who fought her way to the
exit with me and performed just with such grace under fire.
(35:16):
Let me thank Glow for the rumble rant, timp. Let
me thank Boston Guy. Let me thanks steel Woman. Let
me thank James James Yoder, Thank you all for the
rumble rant tip. I mean, one hundred percent of what
we get there in that rumble rant goes to making
a better show. And by the way, folks, it's your show,
So it's your show, it always will be. That's my
(35:36):
pledge to always make this show about you. After all,
you're the patriots. You're the people who make this country exceptional.
And while I have you here on this break, go
ahead and smash that like button, that little green thumb
beneath the video, because we are on our way to
the leader board on Rumble. I think again. I think
we have a record number of live viewers right now,
which is amazing for the show viewers right now. Buddy,
(35:59):
Well yeah, well, thank you with the testament to YouTube,
right and the testament to the strength of the battle crew.
We got your savagery, rich and then of course Melanie's
looks and opinions a one two punch of awesome. But
so Melanie, what what was it like for you to
(36:21):
to make it out of there and see see the kids? Right?
And then another question of to see the the imagery
of Donald Trump seeing When did you see the imagery?
Because you were I mean you, you and I were separating.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Probably when I was in the car. I mean I wasn't,
like I said, everybody was down. We're in our section
because the bullets came from from behind us, so our
section was was taking cover. We didn't get to see
him stand up. I think you did because you kept
popping your head up and looking around. But everybody who
was huddled down on your knee just kept saying is okay?
Is okay? Do we just kept saying I don't know,
(36:58):
and that he had blood on his face so and
blood on his head. So it just because they got
him out of there didn't mean he wasn't already critically injured.
So it was it was that was just absolutely terrifying.
That was absolutely terrifying. And I remember when I did
pop up, all I saw was his lone black shoe
on the stage, when I.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Oh, yeah, take us back from that, because you heard
what he said that start from the very beginning there
say something.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
About well when he was on, I heard him say
something about I need my shoes. I need I heard
him saying that, I think. And then when I just
and then when we were I looked over to the
left when we were you were trying to get us,
direct us out, and just saw that shoe there, and
I'm thinking, oh my god, you know his shoe. You know,
he got knocked right out of his shoe by the
by the Secret Service. And again I still didn't know
if he was okay. I didn't see that picture on
(37:44):
social media until I got a cell phone signal when
I was back at the car, and it probably took
us what almost an hour to get out to the car,
forty five minutes, and our time was it was weird.
Time was weird then, So it took a while to
see that. And then I, you know, of course, I
was relieved by then. I was able to get in
touch with the you know, with the kids and let
everybody know. And thankfully I was able to get everybody
(38:04):
on the phone, like my like my dad, my aunt,
the kids and let them know what had happened before
they actually saw it on the news.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
So when I went back in, you coordinated to the
extent that you could communicating with our family, and for that,
I'm so grateful. But it was wild to see that
one loan shoe from Trump on the stage like that,
wasn't it. I mean, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
It was sort of just gave you a chill when
you saw that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
What did you What did you think of when you
looked at the image of Trump like this, Melanie, What
what was going because you saw it before me? What's
going through your mind when you see that?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I was just so proud, you know, I couldn't I
already loved Trump, and I just couldn't love him more
when I saw that. It was just it was just amazing,
and of course it just the feeling of of like
relief and it just made me proud that he was
he was our president.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
So okay, so let's let's go to Rich for this one. Rich.
Something that really pisses me off, and Melanie, I want
at your perspective on this after. But something that is
that pisses me off is the media's role in this.
Like I refuse and if refused to both sides this issue.
And here's why, Like, I am so sick and tired
(39:21):
that every single time some leftist jackass attacks a conservative
or god forbid, kills a conservative, almost everybody in the
media is like, uh, you know, we got to unite.
This is a moment for quiet reflection. What kind of
country do we you know? No, this is not this
is a time to pick a side, because when a
(39:42):
conservative does it okay, and the rare rare, rare, rare
rare chance it almost never does a conservative commit political
violence against the leftists. But on the rare chance that
it does happen, you have left this in government, mobilizing
the Department of Homeland Security to label everybody domestic extremists,
to put people on no fly list. There's a national
(40:03):
movement to eradicate right wing extremism, you know, and of course,
like any form of terrorism is evil and wrong, but
the left owns political violence in this country. And I'm
the media constantly, and I'll tell you it's not just
about Oh Biden says thing on the campaign trill. Yeah,
he says some crazy shit on the campaign trail. Is
(40:24):
speech in Philadelphia in front of red calling half the
country maga extremists and domestic terrorists. Yeah, the guy's crazy. Okay,
the guy's absolutely nuts. But beyond that, the wholesale movement
on behalf of the media to labeled Trump a Russian agent,
a trader to the country, all these two impeachments, calling
people Nazis, Trump's a dictator, Trump's hitler. Every other day
(40:46):
on Morning Joe, those ass clowns are out there saying, oh,
two hundred and seventy years of the American experiment will
end if Donald Trump is elected. I'm tired of this bullshit.
And in the day, the day after the goddamn assassination.
Excuse my languages, my grandfather would do the side of
the cross every time he said that. But at the
like the New York Times late labels Trump the trader,
(41:07):
but day after the attempt.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Come on, Sean, I'm looking at the quote right now,
Lester Holt to Joe Biden. Have you done any soul
searching to reflect on whether anything you said may have
incited violence? Go yourself, Lester, Your whole news network is
like pushing everything that Sean just rattled off plus more. Meanwhile,
(41:30):
when a guy, if we've already forgotten about this, when
a guy runs around a state putting fake bombs, they
weren't even real they were fake bombs. They called them
the magabomber and wanted to like round up Trump supporters. Right,
They're like the Palestinians every time they start a fight
and then they realize they're going to lose. And that's
what's going on here. They realize they're going to lose
(41:52):
this election, and now all of a sudden they want
peace and they want a truce. No, you, like, you
don't get to start conflict and then sound the peace horn.
You know, like you have to pay the consequences for it.
The media is a negative I can't imagine a more
negative force on our society. Like, I'm not sure any
(42:14):
institution any industry, any person, does more damage in this
society than our media. They lie about everything, Hands up,
don't shoot. Start racial wars. Tajuana Brawley was raped by
a duke Lacrosse, remember that. I mean, these people are
pathological liars. They do it for political gain, their own
(42:34):
to advance their own agenda, which is usually the agenda
of the state, obviously because there's state run media, and
they they never get held accountable for it, so we
let them go. They start a complete dangerous fiction that
Donald Trump is a trader who cocluded with Vladimir Putin.
So a guy who believes this decides he's gonna go
kill the House Majority leader or the House Majority whip.
(42:54):
Excuse me. Nobody does anything about it, by the way,
including Sam Scale. Nothing right. I mean, if I was
Steve Scalice, I would want somebody's ass, you know. I mean,
this is humble, and it just goes on and on.
Ram Paul's attack on his front lawn by his crazy
left wing neighbor who believes everything he reads in the
New York Times and listens to on MSNBC. I don't
(43:15):
understand how Alex Jones could get sued into an oblivion
over Sandy Hook. But these people can continue to carry
on and continue.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
To do what they do.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
They're inflicting real pain on people. They are inciting people
to shoot the presidential candidate of a major political party, who,
by the way, they're trying to put in prison for
the rest of his life. So, I mean, it's just
two sides of the same coin here, Sean. These are
just bad people and they only want to unify. They're
full of shit. They want to unify, so they don't
(43:45):
so they can skirt any accountability whatsoever. They have no
desire to unify. They wanted to settle down so they
can put everybody in cages. Again. That's their I mean,
this is where they're going with this. Steve Bannon's rotten
in a jail cell right now for being St've Bannon.
Peter Navarro is also, by the way, rotting in the
jail cell because of trade, you know, renegotiating trade deals
(44:06):
with China. These people are political terrorists, that's what they are.
And they don't play by the rules of the American
experiment anymore. They don't even believe in it anymore. And
let's face it, they know exactly what they're doing and
when cosame thing with mass shootings. They've been told by
law enforcement, Fed's academia, you're a contagion. We used to
call it the Columbine effect. Now we call it a contagion.
(44:29):
They inspire copycats, and they inspire mass shooting events, and
they don't give a damn. They don't care. They've been
told by everybody. They don't care because they want the
Second Amendment gone. They don't care who they inspire to
take a shot at Donald Trump. They want him gone.
It's that simple. They thought, well, we'll beat him in
an election. Doesn't look like we can do that. Maybe
we'll put him in prison. Doesn't look like we can
(44:49):
do that. What's left here? That's why you and I
for months have been talking. You know, I hate to
say it. It's just gonna be sad, but I expect
somebody to take a shot at this man. I mean,
how long have we been saying this? You know?
Speaker 1 (45:01):
And they create months rich and they and they and
they attack us. They they lift our segments, They clipped
our segments, they called us crazy.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Guess what we were fing right, Yeah, they clipped our segments.
Look at the crazy right wingers, Look at the conspiracy theorists.
They create opporum motive first, they create the desire, you know.
They find the exploit, the vulnerable and the uh you know,
the the vulnerable and I don't want to say weak,
but certainly vulnerable and impressionable. They find them in society.
(45:32):
These are people who are like hurting for something to
be a part of. You know, let's face it. They
don't have God in their lives, most of them. They're
like same reason people join gangs, same reason people join
Antifa and want to be a part of Antifa. They
have no meaning and they are told that this man
is a menace, he's a danger. You know what, I
could be a hero here. I could do something good.
I can I can make my mark on history. I
(45:53):
can change the tide of history. And they do this
and they think in their minds because the media told
them they're the here row here, Sean, they're the hero here.
It's un it's just unbelievable, brother, it's unbelievable. And they
until they're punished for this. You cannot hide behind the
banner of journalism and do this. They're not even journalists.
(46:14):
And by the way, the freedom of the press didn't
mean that anyway they had. That's not what it really meant.
You didn't give you a right to just smear people
whenever you want and destroy people whenever you want. Because
you're a journalist. You're not a guardian of the halls
of power. You're not a truth teller. You're full of shit.
You're a hack and the whole you. You work for
a building filled with hacks, and that's all you do.
(46:36):
You're a political vehicle to serve a party that serves
the state. And until they're held accountable for that, this
is going to continue. And they'll back off on one
unity only because they're in a bad spot, and then
they'll pick it right back up again seventy two hours, pot,
give it's seventy two hours, and they'll be right back
at it.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
You watch, mel right, you're coming at you with a
similar question. You've actually been on the receiving end with me,
on the campaign trail of the media's lies. We were
actually on the cover of People magazine together, not in
the way that I think we wanted to be. But look,
what do you what do you make? What do you
make of the media's role in all of this?
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Well, I'll tell you something that happened when I was
walking out with some of the people. You were pushing
the wheelchair, you were helping, helping people. And I had
this conversation with a lady walking with me and I said,
you watch, I said, the media is going to somehow
turn this around and blame us, And she kind of
laughed and she said, how would they do that. I said,
they're totally going to blame Trump supporters. And you see
(47:37):
it like we saw it first in the next morning,
you know, pretty much saying like victim, blame me, like
Trump brought this on himself, you know, like so. And
I also said to the lady, I don't I wouldn't
be surprised that they tried to say this as a hoax.
And by the time I got my daughter on the
phone and she pulled up her she pulled up Twitter.
She said, that's what's trending, like that this was just
stage that was staged. So whenever you try to think
(48:01):
what the press is going to do is probably.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Gonna be ten times worse, it's true. I mean, I
think that they are vile, disgusting people that that that
have been on the front end of the destruction of
this country for far too long. When the last time
I've ever seen the media even be half honest, are
those videos of them making fun of Joe Biden saying
Joe Biden was not not number one in class? It
(48:26):
was actually a huge dumb ass. I mean, of course
I'm paraphrasing there, but like you.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Were born when.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Yes, that's probably true. Actually you might be right. When
was it? Do we know?
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Was it like I was born? I don't think you were?
Speaker 1 (48:45):
All right? So i got a couple of minutes left,
and I've got I've got a Newsmax. I've got a
Newsmax segment that I've got to go right from this
show to Newsmax. But I got to talk about the
lapses insecurity because the moment that Melanie I was on
the ground, what did I say, water tower or building?
And I said, there's no effing way there's someone on
the water tower or building, because why the Secret Service
(49:05):
has got to have those.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Rally we've been at there's been somebody up on the buildings,
on the rooftop surrounding us.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
At the end of the time, how does that, I mean,
how does that, Melanie, you were there, how does that
make you feel like that that they didn't have that
on lockdown.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
I'm just I'm just astounding. I still can't you know,
I still can't believe any of this even happened. But
to think that we were just there, like just sitting ducks,
I mean, they like the building was right there behind us.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
Nobody was covering.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
That, nobody, nobody was paying attention except.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
For people a few seconds the three thousand plus watching.
Go over to our locals page. Look at the picture
that Commander Melanie posted there. If you see the outline
of the building right behind us, right there, direct line
of sight to the President and by the way, one
hundred less than one hundred and fifty meters away, it's
not you don't even need to be a damn sniper.
(49:58):
A couple of weeks of rifle, basic rifle, marchmanship, and
basic training.
Speaker 3 (50:02):
Line up the irons, Sean, you line up the irons,
it's not hard. That rifle is meant for that distance.
That is the sweet spot for that rifle. For people
who don't understand which dectory is. You know, if you're
if you're uh, you know, going three hundred meters out,
you better aim higher. If you're coming in close, you
(50:23):
might need to aim a little lower because the bullet
goes up first, actually travel travels on an arc up first.
But man, that building just happened to be right in
the sweet spot of that weapon. And I got to
tell you, it is so inconceivable to me that they
did not clear or and even have a presence on
that rooftop. It's just suspect to me, Sean, I'm sorry.
(50:43):
The cynic in me tells me there's no way this
could have been an accident of some sort. Somebody gave
a non.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Case, and open members remembers, really members of Congress are
saying the same thing. There's no way, incomprehensible, it's inconceived.
They take ladders down off of fire escapes, on buildings,
they weld man hold covers down. When the President comes
through with this, this is nuts. This is not possible.
(51:11):
Where were the drones? And how did this guy twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Year old nobody because I've done a whole dive on
him in the database. How did this guy know nobody
would be on this building? Nobody would be covering this building?
Speaker 1 (51:26):
I heard you, did you know this? It just it
just broke today. It just broke right now that law
enforcement was aware of this guy and was tracking him
at at the rally at the rally, So my question
is I knew about this guy. This is let Trump
on stage? How do you let Trump on stage knowing
that the threat is still out there? It's it's I can't,
(51:48):
I can't believe.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Again, the FBI knew about the shotgun shooter from Malcolm X.
The truth is they wanted him to kill Malcolm X.
That's the damn truth. I'm sorry. And then they put
two innocent bastards in jail for more than two decades.
And when they knew they weren't guilty, they weren't the
shit the main shooter who uh? And actually one of
them really had nothing to do with anything at all.
(52:10):
Uh And they rotted in jail for two decades. Over
two decades, Sean, these are who these people are. I'm
like tired of giving them the benefit of the doubt.
There's no way in my mind that that building was
not cleared. There's no way they didn't have eyes on
it at all. Not the Cat's team, not the drones, nothing, nothing.
You got to be kidding me. And I heard Commander
(52:31):
Melanie say before we're gonna bring the kids. But it
was too hot. Thank god we didn't. I brought my
children into a Trump rally. Yeah, I had to work,
and I said I'll take them, Laura. I brought my
children into a Trump rally.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
We brought them to everyone else. We brought them to
every rally, but this.
Speaker 3 (52:48):
And you never think, you never think that that that
something like this really not in that kind of a forum,
because of course they've swept the place, they've gone through it.
There's an advanced team for people who don't know. There's
a team that goes in advance to check the location
and make sure all of these that building is most
definitely on that damn map or I don't know if
somebody left that off. Are we gonna find out by
(53:08):
the way that that building's not on the specs? You know,
all of a sudden, it's what poof not there? I mean,
I think we're gonna learn some really horrible stuff here, man,
I really do, because I just don't see any potential way.
National Arbor, Maryland. I go to see the President in
National Arbor, Maryland, and again.
Speaker 1 (53:23):
This is work.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
You better be there at a certain time. The place
is locked down. Secret services there far in advance by
the way. They know the route because he's done it before,
and yet they're still taking those kinds of precautions. You
can't get in the building. You're late, you're ten minutes late,
ten minutes past eight tough, you're not getting in. It's
totally locked down. There's no there's no way you're gonna
be able to, you know, come through a window at
(53:45):
him on a building to to you know, two buildings over,
because they're there, so you know this is inc it's not.
There's no way I can conceive. And I know we
talked about incompetence and maybe they're just not the best
of the best, but I thought about that after this shit.
Oh Sean, they still have SOP. Everyone's got a protocol,
you know. And I mean, even if they're morons and
(54:06):
they're incompetent and they're not recruiting the best people in
the world anymore, they still came after a bunch of
people who were really good, and those people taught them
all about how to protect their their charges. So there's
just no way, you know. I mean maybe if it
was something more complicated, but it's not. It's holding one
hundred and fifty meters over the only building with a
(54:27):
clear line.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
The most obvious place, right.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
The most obvious place.
Speaker 3 (54:32):
It's like, if that's what I'm saying, like this kid
decided he's gonna do the most obvious thing, and that's
the best place to go and take a full prone position.
You know, you got scooting over againting himself all comfortable.
In the video you can see it. Come on, man,
come on, I actually think, you know, reviewing that footage more.
(54:52):
I mean, at least it looked to me that the
Sheriff's department or whoever there was a local police were
like dumbfounded, you know when those people told him he
was on the building. I don't know what took so long.
We played the countdown today on the show. Look how
long so for them to react? What are you doing?
Which your you know, what are you doing? In two
minutes is way too long and it was over two minutes.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
By the way, it feels, it feels like it's just hard.
It just feels like it was deliberate. It feels like
it was deliberate. So okay, I gotta leave it there,
happy savage Rich tell tell the thousands of us where
they can find you, how they can support you.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Best place is always brothers on Locals, People's Pundit dot
locals dot com, People's Pundit dot locals dot com.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
I'll see you, yep, see you soon, Rich Commander Melanie,
what about you? Anything you got to say before we
pop smoke today?
Speaker 2 (55:43):
You said, where can you find me? Right here?
Speaker 1 (55:44):
In four part? Now? All right, I love you. I'll
see you for dinner. H And that's it, folks, Thank
you for the special edition of Battleground Live. Just all
insider stuff, insider baseball of what happened that night. And
let me tell you, uh, let me, oh well, let
(56:07):
the people of this country would make it exceptional. The
people of that and that rally what make it exceptional, folks.
Let me tell you lastly about the the rally. When
those shots rang out, we knew there was a sniper.
People's lives were at risk, but the crowd did not stampede,
they didn't run, they didn't hurt anyone. They comported themselves
(56:28):
under fire like true patriots, the patriots that they were,
the real story, of course, there's lots of stories out
of the Trump rally, but the story of how the
American people, the America first patriots at that rally comported
themselves under fire. To me, it's the most important one.
They didn't stampede, they didn't run, they didn't hurt anyone.
(56:50):
In fact, they did the opposite. They helped people who
needed it, and that matters. So, folks, I'll see you tomorrow.
We got a great week of shows planned for you
to do, so thank you for being the best patriots
on the face of the planet. I'll see tomorrow. God
bless you all, and God bless this exceptional nation that
we call home. Take care, good night, and I will
(57:11):
see you tomorrow. Folks,
Morning. You're about to enter the arena and join the
Battle to save America with your host, Sean Parnell. Good evening, America,
Welcome to the Battle Crew. You were watching Battleground Live.
I'm your host, Sean Parnell. I'm a combat veteran New
York Times bestselling author. More important than that, simply a
(00:26):
humble servant of this great country. Now listen to me, folks.
This weekend in America, everything changed, and I feel like
I was blessed and cursed both. I speak for both
my wife and I to be at ground zero for
everything that went down at the Trump rally. I spoke
(00:50):
at the rally thirty minutes before the attack. Commander Melanie,
my wife and I spent time with the President, and
we were twenty feet away from the assassination attempt and
everything that followed. Tonight, you are going to get an
insider perspective on all of it. There are a lot
(01:10):
of talking heads out there that have a lot of
opinions on the rally, very few of them are actually there.
Commander Mellie and I were actually there. And also tonight
we've got on deck Savage Rich Barris and a surprise
guest for you that I'm going to introduce you all
to here in a little while. So from sea to
Shiney Sea and everybody in between, welcome to America's patriots.
(01:35):
Right off the top, let me just thank members of
the battle crew for being there for me and my
family and all the rumble Rant tips that we have.
So that is that straight to Ken Ultra Dory Whiskey,
Demanda Hammer. Thank you. One hundred percent of the tips
in the rumble rants during this live show go to
(01:57):
improving the studio and bringing you a better quality program.
So thank you all. Folks. Listen to me this. Can
you believe that just last week we did an entire
show on the Big Boy Presser about whether not Biden
is staying or going and like whether or not he
(02:18):
craps his pants at a presser. Doesn't it feel like
an eternity has passed since then? Can you feel as
if like the tide has finally turned? And I'm not
trying to make to cheapen what happened, but so much
has happened over the past week, and it feels like
we're living in a different country, you know. And so
(02:40):
as of just today, the news has been changing so
so much. But the classified Docs case, bead eyed little
freak Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, that communist bastard that he
is Classified Docs case dismissed by Judge Cannon gone. So
Big Fanny case in Georgia gone, Judge Wan Murshawn. There
(03:03):
is a in Sloppy Alvin Bragg up in New York.
There is a real good chance, because of the Supreme
Court's ruling on presidential immunity, that that case is going
to be declared a mistrial. That's gone Supreme Court completely gutted.
Bead Eyed little freak, Jacksmith's special prosecutors cases in Washington, DC,
those are likely gone. Trump survives an assassination attempt on
(03:26):
the over the weekend. Are you tired of winning yet?
I'm not tired of winning it. The only thing left
to do is actually win, and which we are on
our way to doing. We're not no talks of red wave,
no talks of landslides here on this show, because we're
going to bust our assets from now until election day.
(03:46):
Can't deny the moment, right, And of course, just before
we come on this show, my friend jd Vance, Vice
President pick now, I told you, right, I kind of
called the jd Evan's thing. Now, I know many of
you have concerns, but I'm gonna need you all to
trust me on this. I know jd Vance, he's a friend,
(04:08):
He's come a long way. He understands the moment that
we are in. He understands what Trump represents. He is loyal.
You just just you might take a leap of faith,
but you've got to trust me on that. He is
a great and I mean great vice presidential pick for
Donald Trump. And I'm so psyched for him. I'm psyched
(04:29):
for his family, and I'm psyched for the president. You know,
jd Vance, there's a smart policy guy. He's he's he's
loyal to Donald Trump. He's a populist, wants to bring
American jobs back here to this country. Right wing populism
is so important in this moment. It's important to remember
that we don't just live and we don't just live
(04:51):
in an economy. We have a nation where it's our
leader's jobs to take care of people. And so I'm
hearing rumblings from in inside the Biden White House that
the Biden administration, they just the staffers who surround Joe
Biden have resigned themselves to a loss that it's only
(05:14):
it's only a matter of time before Biden loses to Trump.
And it's a great thing, America. It's a great thing
when your political foes morale has been totally wiped out.
And so it's our job now to not be complacent,
(05:34):
but to seize the initiative in advance on the political battlefield. Okay,
let's get to the subject of tonight's episode, and that's
the assassination attempt on President Trump. The Trump rally. You know, folks,
I've been on the stage with President Trump five times now.
(05:57):
I've been to Trump rallies many many times. They are
like a patriotic rock concert, exactly the opposite of what
the media have you believe that they are. Everything that
is good about America is at a Trump rally. You know,
we talk about the exceptional nature of this country. The
(06:18):
exceptional nature nature of this country is not and never
will be found in political leaders. Yes, of course, some
of them are larger than life. Trump is the right
man for the right moment. He believed that he was
put here on this earth like for a reason to
lead this country. Now. But what makes this country exceptional
(06:42):
and what makes Trump the man he is today. The
people of America and the people that go to that
that were at that Trump rally, those are the people
that built this country, whose family built this country. Those
are the people who love this country, who willing to
show up and sacrifice for this country. In some cases
(07:03):
served or their children serving, have a legacy of service.
Many of the people there were hammer swingers, carpenters, you
know mason worked in masonry, worked in unions, plumbers, electricians, teachers, veterans, cops.
They were all there. But something about this Trump rally
(07:23):
was different from the moment we walked in. And I
mean that, and I don't know if I can speak
for other folks who are there, who I'm sure are watching,
but it felt surreal to me in a lot of ways.
It felt like just something was in the air. And
so Commander to Melanie and I went in. We got
(07:43):
an opportunity to meet with President Trump. We spent some
time with him. He asked about the state of play
in Pennsylvania, said we're just going to bring into the
administration when we win. I guess he really liked my
He listened. The guy is so sharp. He listened to
my entire speech. On the way to the rally, He's like,
(08:06):
your speech was amazing. It's great. You're too talented to
be on the sidelines. And I'm not disclosing anything that
I think he wouldn't be as like a private conversation.
It's just I mean, if he brings me in into
his administration, great, I'd be happy to serve in any
way that he thinks would be appropriate. I mean, that
would be an honor. But if it doesn't happen, I
understand that too. I'm just saying he's like, he looks
(08:27):
at my wife, Melanie, goes, what happened to your husband
with those ballots in twenty twenty? Terrible? Terrible. So guy knows,
he remembers. He's sharp as hell, he was in good spirits.
He was laser focused on winning, and so prior to
the rally, I had recommended to the Trump campaign. I said,
listen to me talking to some of my friends who
(08:50):
were working in and around the on the Trump campaign,
I said, you've got to reach out to missus Fogel,
who is Mark Fogel's mother, who is a Western Pennsylvania
resident who is thrown in a Russian gulag and has
been there for three years, sentenced to fourteen years for
a prescribed medical marijuana for an actual I think he
has MS or something like that. He's he's been languishing
(09:13):
in a Russian gulag for three freaking years, and Biden
administration has completely effing ignored his family. I mean completely,
like Missus Fogel can't get in contact with anyone in
the Biden administration, of the Biden State Department. It's a
travesty of epic, epic proportions. So I said, listen, you
(09:35):
have an opportunity here. Let's let's get missus Fogel to
this rally. She's like ninety five years old. The family
is absolutely desperate, and more than that, it's the right
damn thing to do. Leaders lead in moments that are tough.
Leaders lead when shit hits the fan. That's when leaders
(09:58):
are needed most. And I said that President Trump's voice
has enormous power. And you know what that guy did.
You know what his campaign did. It took less than
two hours for them to invite Missus Fogel to that rally,
and she was there and met with President Trump, ninety
five years old, right after me. And you know what
President Trump said to Missus Fogel again for those who
(10:20):
are just joining as Missus Fogel ninety five years old
son languishing in a Russian gulag for three years, completely
effing ignored by the Biden administration. But hey, we'll get
Britney Grinder home and we'll you know, trade, you know,
some of the worst arms dealers and terrorists on the
face of the planet with her because her politics aligned
with the Biden administration. But oh, just a teacher from Pennsylvania.
(10:40):
Leave him there at a rot. So Trump meets with
Missus Fogel and says to her and says to her
straight up, I'm gonna get your son back. We're gonna
get your son home. And I had an opportunity to
meet with Missus Fogel behind the scenes prior to going
(11:04):
to meet with President Trump, and she was filled with hope.
And what I saw for the first time in a
very long time, she had tears in her eyes because
she's been ignored by her government and been ignored by
the Biden administration. But Trump, his words have power. He's
(11:26):
the most famous guy in the world, but the most
electrifying political candidate of my lifetime. But he's a leader,
and all around the world when Trump speaks, people listen.
Whether they like him or not is completely effing irrelevant.
The media would be like, well, Trump's not liked around
the world. At the media, they suck. Trump is respected
(11:46):
around the world. Who gives a shit whether or not
he's liked, He's respected. And Trump looked that woman in
the eye and said, we're going to get your son back.
And I believe him. And then Melanie and I went
back to our seats and we were sitting if you
were looking at the screen, Commander Melanie and I were
(12:08):
sitting directly to the left of the president, probably twenty
ish feet away from the podium where he spoke, in
the first row, in the first row. But when I
say there was something in the air, that it was there.
(12:29):
It was Call me crazy all you want, but it
was tangible. This is what I mean when I was speaking.
This happened with the flag. Have a look at this picture.
You see that that's me on the stage, and that's
the flag right there got twisted. It was hanging from
two pieces of construction equipment, but it got twisted. What
does that look like to you? I mean, it looks
(12:51):
I've heard people been having people send me this from
multiple different angles, you know, I've been at People say
it looks like an eagle. People say it looks like
an a people say it looks like Jesus on the cross.
When I was on that stage, I felt something something
to me that was similar when I felt and I
had this near death experience in Afghanistan that most of
(13:13):
you all, I've told you before, some of you. They
get knocked unconscious, fractured. My skug got blown up by
a rocket propel grenade and I was unconscious, and I
could have sworn I thought I was dead, But I
could have sworn I heard my grandfather's voice telling me
to get pushed me back into the fight, into the
land of the living. And I'm telling you, you call
(13:34):
me crazy all you want, but on that stage, I
felt the same damn thing. I felt the same damn thing.
And so when I say that there was something in
the air, I meant there was something in the air,
and I don't know what it was, but it was real.
It was real. And so we went back out and
(13:54):
Donald Trump comes out on the stage and the place
goes absolutely crazy. And Donald Trump immediately does what Donald
Trump does and says, you know, I'm gonna go off script.
I tell my team I hate these teleprompters. I don't
like them. They're borring. Do we have my immigration graphic?
You know? And I'm paraphrasing here, Oh, my favorite immigration graphic.
(14:15):
Let's throw it up there on the screen. And Trump
turns his head. I guess if you're looking, he's looking
at this. If he's facing out to the crowd, he
turns his head like this. You see that arrow. Immigration
was at its lowest point under my administration right there,
you know. And he turns back and he engages the
crowd and talks to the crowd, and then he turns
his head like this and cranes his head just like this,
(14:36):
and I'm watching the entire time from twenty feet away.
He points up there, and as he turns his head,
five shots ring out. Trump grabs his ear hits get
hits the floor in the prone. And by the way,
it was exactly the right thing to do in a
sniper situation. Hit the prone, take cover immediately. That's what
(14:56):
Trump did, and the Secret Service was on him. Neately
knew that we were under sniper fire. I just remember
grabbing my wife and getting her down into the prone
as flat as flat as possible on the ground and
trying to encourage everybody to take cover. And people were
saying in the moment, oh, it's firecrackers. I'm like, it's
not firecrackers or the sniper. Everybody take cover, And that's
(15:19):
sort of when all hell broke loose. But before I
break all this down for you, I got a surprise
guest and I want to bring her on. It's my
amazing wife who was there with me, Commander Melanie Comany. Welcome. Hello, Hi,
your hair, you look great. So do you remember the
(15:42):
President gesturing? Wasn't it crazy to hear the shots go out?
Shots go off? He hits the ground, Secret services on him?
What was that?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You were there? You witnessed these.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Before I heard anybody say anything. I heard the noise
and then I saw I remember the plume of smoke
that went up over his head on the on the
left hand side of the stage like him, and I
remember starting to think to myself, like, that's really weird
that somebody has a firecracker here. That was my first
thought too. But before I could even before I could
even finish the thought, you were you yelled out something
(16:18):
like that, it's a shooter, or you said something like that,
you said get down, get down, You pushed it down.
You were telling everybody around us to get down.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And what were you thinking. I have to tell you,
as your husband, I was. I have been in many, many,
many firefights, more firefights than I care to recount. I
have never been in a firefight with my wife. And
so now you and I have this in common. We've
both been shot at before. And I hate to laugh,
(16:47):
but it's like you either in these moments, you either
laugh or you cry, and crying is just not it's
just not an option.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But well, in your first fiction book you wrote, you
wrote about being in a firefight with your mother, So
now you've actually lived through being in a sort of
with your with your wife. I just I was you.
I just couldn't. It was the most surreal moment of
my life. I could not believe that that it was happening.
I didn't see. I knew that the president had been hit,
(17:14):
but I didn't see anything else. Of course, we were
you had everybody down on the ground, and we're keeping
trying to keep everybody safe, and so we didn't see
when President Trump got back up so everybody around us
is saying, you know, the president was hit, Is he okay?
Nobody knew anything.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It was.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It was absolutely terrifying. People said, you know, we saw
that he had had blood on his People were saying
he had blood on his face, blood on his head,
and other people were saying they got him out of there,
but we didn't know or I didn't know if he
was if they just took him out of there, and
if he was going to be okay. So it was
absolutely terrifying. It wasn't terrified for myself. I was just
terrified for for what may have happened to Trump and
(17:51):
what that would mean mean to our country. So we're
lying down there and you kept you were telling everybody
to stay down, but you kept popping your head up,
and I was getting I was scared for you. I
kept yelling at you to get down, get down.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, is that what you said? Get down? Would you say?
Would you? Actually?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I said, I think I smacked you on your leg
and said, Sean, get your head. I think I screamed
that at you a couple of times, but you were
you weren't listening.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
To me, So I just I just want to tell
you you know, first of all, just so everybody's out
there tracking, this woman was under fire, and she handles
herself like a complete pro first of all. But part
of the reason why I was poking my head up
because instantly I knew that there was a sniper fire
from the sound of the round cracking over my head.
It was round going supersonic, and then hearing the muzzle
(18:41):
blast after, I knew that the shooter had to be
very close. And so anytime that you're under sniper fire, like,
the first thing that a leader is supposed to do
is ascertain the position of the actual shooter. And in
the moment, in order for me to do that, I
had to be up on a knee. But I was
making sure that you were down there like in the prone.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But well, we thought there was more than one shooter.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I cannot emphasize that enough we were under we were.
I was operating under the assumption that was more than
one shooter. And the reason for that is because an
hydraulic line to the on the construction field vehicle to
the right of President Trump, which was on the opposite
side of the stage seven, and so I thought that
there were a shooter coming from the opposite direction as well.
And so the way that this went down, five or
(19:24):
six shots President hit hit grazed in the ear Secret
Service on them, thump thump from the counter sniper team,
which is how I'm processing this, which is a heavier
caliber round sent down range at the actual shooter. And
then at the exact same moment that those those those
rounds fired, uh the sniper, the shooter shot a couple
(19:45):
of more and I believe that's when the rounds impacted
tragically to the people who were sitting right behind us.
But as I was looking, Melanie, as I'm looking around
for the shooter, do you remember what I said to
you in that moment? Do you remember what I said
to every everybody else? I said, shooters in one or
two locations that building or that water tower, right, And
(20:07):
I want to give people like that, there is a
really good there's a really good graphic on this. Let
me see if I can see, if I can show
you this, let me see, let me see, let me see.
Still not an expert at all this, but.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
What was going through my head is this, this might
just be the beginning. There may be somebody else there,
something more might happen.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
That's right. That's right. So I don't know if you
all can see that, but if you look at the
blue line, that red box on the left is where
the shooter was. That's the building. You can see the
water tower there, and you can see the direct that
that building has a direct line of sight to where
Trump is sitting, and where the arrowhead is is right
where Melanie and I were. So when I say that
(20:50):
we heard the rounds crack right over her heads, I
am not bullsitting you. That's exactly what happened the bleachers
where people got hit. If you can see my cursor
is right behind the sniper with the with the yellow line,
the friendly sniper was on this building, clear line of
sight to the shooter. So when I say I was
down looking for a location to the shooter, I immediately
(21:10):
saw that building and I immediately saw the water tower.
And so if I thought that in the moment, there's
no way that the Secret Service did not know about that.
They had to have known about that. And so well,
we met rallies.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
You know, this was the fifth one that we went to.
And we've been at rallies before, and you know, we've
brought our kids before. They were going to come with us.
This time it was too hot. I'm glad we kept
them home. But we always thought, hey, there's no safer
place to be than a Trump rally. You know, they're
all the Secret Service around, you have all these if
you remember the one we did in Moon, there were
(21:47):
lots of buildings, higher buildings around us, but you look
up behind you and on every one of the rooftops
there's a sniper there, you know, Secret Service or whatever.
So it was just shocking that that wouldn't have been
the same situation here at this rally.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So do you remember when the people were shot and
I was trying to get an assessment of how badly
they were hit, and they were moving the casualties.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
We didn't realize that at first we knew the president
had been hit, but it felt like it took a
couple of minutes before we heard people saying, we have
people hit, we have people hit hit. And you stood
up and started trying to get the police over there
and tell them yeah, calling for.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
A medic yeah. And at that point give you all
a sense of what were in my mind was the
Secret Service had their mission and that was to get
the president. The police had their mission. They were going
after the shooter, and they were helping with initial casualties,
but there were thirty thousand people there more. When you
first get shot at, everybody goes through the same thing eventually,
(22:52):
and it's this process in some way, shape or form.
Holy shit, somebody's trying to kill me that I don't
even know. And when you wrap your mind around the
existential realities of that, it's like, kill me like everything
that I was, everything that I am now, and everything
that I will be. And in my mind, you know,
(23:13):
I'm sure that there are people in the crowd that
had been shot at, but my thought was the vast
majority had probably had not, and all were processing it
at that exact moment. And as I'm talking about this
or processing this, because I'm trying to figure out how
we can get people to move and move out of there.
And the reason why I'm trying to ascertain the position
of the sniper is because you make a determination can
(23:35):
you move people right? Is it possible? And if you can,
how do you x fill them? How do you get
them out? And with best using cover and concealment. That's
why I had to find the location of the shooter
because I knew that we had thirty thousand people that
has just been through a shitload, and at that exact
moment I'm processing that Trump, he kind of stands up.
(23:55):
We couldn't real see him because he was covered with
Secret Service, but I just see his fist and the
crowd go absolute lutely insane, and I knew that at
that point he had to be okay. I knew that
at that point the shooter was likely down as well,
because police were saying the shooter was down. And at
that point it just became time to move people.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
You know, I do remember them saying shooter down. I
do you remember hearing that?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, And so we started moving people. But as we
started moving people there, it was ninety five degrees. People
were sitting outside, there were heat casualties, like people were
falling out left and right, and so I was evacting people,
trying to push the crowd along with you know, a
couple other patriots, JD. Longo and Rico Elmore who JD.
Longo Marine Corvette, Rico Elmore Air Force. So here we're
(24:39):
all working together in crowd control and trying to move
people to the exits safely. And people start falling out
from heat causies. You remember that, Yes, I mean it
was a.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Really hot day. It was ninety five degrees there. The
sun was beating down. People had been there for hours.
There were a lot of people, you know, a lot
of older people, a lot of people you know, like
you said, in wheelchairs and things. So it was already
and then the stress of what they had just seen
and been through.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So it was just a disaster, it really was. I mean,
and and like people were, people were I mean, I
don't want to say a thousand yard stare like it's
a negative thing, but I'm telling you, I've seen grown
men who were trained get shot at react like that
in combat. It just is a jarring thing, a traumatic thing,
(25:24):
especially when you're seeing somebody, I mean Corey, the man
who lost his life, who I met briefly when I
was running for Congress. I mean, somebody takes a shot
to the head. It's not it's not good. And a
lot of people around us witnessed that and saw that,
and I think we're really struggling to comprehend the moment,
(25:46):
and so started moving people out, and I just remember, Melanie,
I don't remember a whole lot about this, but I
just remember picking people up and I just started carrying
him to the Metavact station.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right, Yes, you you were. And there's like a news
clip of it too, that that we have you carrying
you JD and a bunch of other folks carrying just
carrying people there. I was trying to run after you
and keep up with you. You said, stay out here,
go take cover somewhere. So I went and fraud under
a tractor trailer with another couple of people, because again
(26:18):
we didn't know, we didn't know if that was the
only shooter. We knew there was a shooter down, but
we didn't know if there was someone else there who
wanted to do us harm.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
So so tell everybody where I told you to take cover.
How to take cover. This is very important.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Tire of a tractor trailer.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, if you have the opportunity and you're ever in
a situation like the best place like behind it, behind
a tire, right, use the tire and actual body of
the car itself. That's the best place to take cover.
If you ever find yourself in a situation like this,
but trying to get the heat casualty's taken care of
and move the move the crowd out, and then it
was just like there were wheelchairs people who were left behind,
(26:57):
not like left behind intentionally, but elderly people being pushed
in wheelchairs being pushed by elderly people. Thirty thousand people
trying to leave the same exit. Kind of hard to
push a wheelchair over gravel, over grass, especially if you're
elderly in the ninety seventy degree heat. They were just
left there and they were just sitting targets.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
You were pushing them around you in your suit. Yeah,
stored while you were doing that. So now you have
an excuse to never put a suit on again, because it's.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yes, I have one suit and it was one suit
and it was ruined. But you got the wheelchair folks
covering concealment. I remember pushing one down, got him to
his car, got you secured in our car, and then
I went back in to get the rest of the
wheelchair people out. And we didn't get out of the
rally folks. I mean, we weren't done evacuating people until
(27:47):
I think eight thirty, right, Melanie, about eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Probably close to that. We didn't get home until about
nine thirty, and we came home to the biggest hugs
of our life from the kids.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It was crazy. It was crazy, and I mean I
was done evacuating people. Yeah about about no. Eight thirty.
We got home a lot later than nine thirty, a
lot later, right, because because we sat there and the
it was just jam packed. They had the whole place
on lockdown, and they had some sort of electron what
they call ECM, electronic countermeasure. So all of my family,
(28:22):
I mean, I had one hundred text messages, and you know,
we got Savage rich Baris on deck, but he's texting me.
All my family members texted me. I couldn't respond because
they had an electronic countermeasure, again operating under the assumption
that there were two people that were shooting. This was
a planned attack. Well, a cell phone can send a
text message to detonate NID. If you've got everybody in
(28:43):
cars driving in the same direction, using the same exit point,
it's called a choke point. God forbid, they have something
planted there, so they I think they had some sort
of electronic countermeasure to stop someone blowing and improvised explosive device.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So we were I was trying desperate to text the
kids because I was afraid that I didn't want them
to see something on the news first and be worried
about us and text the kids, text my my mom,
text my dad, like get these people on the you know,
and you just couldn't. And I was so I just
did not want the kids to be sitting at home
thinking something bad had happened to us. I was trying
(29:17):
to let them know that we were saving. You just
couldn't get a signal out.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Okay, bring Savage rich On. Welcome to oh Savage and
Commander Melanie Rich. I want to get your perspective because
you know you and I talked today on the show.
And also, by the way, Savage Rich meet Commander Melanie.
Commander Melanie meets Savage Rich. Nice to meet you.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He's commander.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Commander so.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And all series and it's glad you're okay, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I want to talk about the media. Well first let's talk.
I want to talk to you about rich Trump's reaction
because I didn't see it like you saw it on
the television. Yeah to me, just give you all my
perspective him rising up, blood on his face, raising his
fist and saying fight. And you could hear him on
(30:08):
the audio arguing with secret Service, let me up, let
me up. Yeah, yeah, wait wait wait, let me up.
And he's saying fight, fight, fight. That is exactly the
image Americans, Americans needed from a president and a leader
right now with America just being leader lists rich. What
do you think.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Teddy Roosevelt took a bullet in his bible. I believe
it is stopped most of the bullet from going in. Nonetheless,
he was hurt, and he finished his speech and wanted
the American public to know what he was saying and
that he doesn't go down that easily. Andrew Jackson when
an assassin tried to shoot him as an old man,
(30:48):
beat the hell out of him with his cane. Donald
Trump is like a throwback to those guys, you know where.
He was going to let the world. He was gonna
let people who incited against him because, let's face it,
we all know he hears about the threats all the time.
He hears about the danger all the time. He was
gonna let them know. But most importantly, Sean, he was
(31:09):
gonna let his his supporters know. You know, you know
that that that I'm here, I'm not shook. I'm gonna
keep fighting and you need to keep fighting too, don't
let them win. And it takes a big man to do. Look,
I don't care what these haters think about Donald Trump.
You won't see Barack Obama do that, all right? That
(31:30):
little man would hide and duck under that podium in
a second. Let's face it, all right. Uh, and there's
just Mitt Romney.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
He'd be position. Wait would big Mike be coward? How
would big Mike react?
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Come on, don of me without talking about Big Mike.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Knows though, what that seriously feels like to know that
someone is trying to kill you. You don't even know
where they're coming from. You operate under the assumption there
was two shooters. He obviously must have thought the worst
that there were two shooters. And I mean, that's like
you don't know where it's coming from, You don't know
how many there are. You just know there are bullets
coming at you. That's all your brain can process in
(32:12):
that moment.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
And he still did that.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I just don't know anyone, any leader of any party
running for president, wanting to run for president, whatever it
may be, who you could expect that out of. And again,
like you've been trained, but you know that you can't
train for something like that. A reaction to being under
(32:37):
fire the way that Donald Trump gave is like bread
into your bones. It's bred into your DNA. I mean,
I've seen men who've been through the best training in
the world break the minute they hear what you just
talked about before I was listening. You know, folks, when,
especially when it's that close, you kind of like feel
it and you hear the whiz before you hear the
sound or the crack of the firing on the web.
(32:59):
That's how close it is. The bullet's traveling so fast
your body's aware of it before you hear the sound
and you realize it's a gunshot coming at you. I mean,
Sean Ben, I've seen guys who have been through the ringer.
You know, there's nothing else you can do to prepare them.
When they get in that position, just break. And it
takes a certain kind of man to behave like that
(33:21):
under that kind of pressure. And it goes to show,
you know I was saying on the show before you
came on today, It's like, you know, that's why when
all the lobby, the Farm Policy Blob, every other president
met resistance for something like this, imagine like moving the
embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and all of this
pressure comes down to bear and George Bush breaks, Barack
(33:42):
Obama breaks. They all promised it. Donald Trump is like,
kiss it, man, I promised the photo. You know, he
can take that kind of pressure and he can have
that kind of courage and stand up to that. And
now we all know why, because he's got that kind
of gut or like visceral courage I don't mean stinctual
(34:03):
courage that you really can't train someone to have. They
either have that or they don't. And he's got it, man,
And the whole world just saw it, the whole country,
the whole world.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Just so.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I got a call for my friend in Scotland. He
was like, wow, man, I hate that guy. He's the boss,
you know. I mean that is a boss move. That
is the best picture out of America ever. Like he's
just like, ah, you know, yeah, it was inspirational reasonal
and they're all leftists over there, he thought it was.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, it's hard not to. I mean you had chenk
Unger from the Young the Young Turds Young Kirks saying
saying like this guy is hard core liberal. I mean
like hardcore liberal. He's like, Okay, that was badass. You
got me. And if that guy is saying that what
Trump did was inspirational and badass, what do you think
(34:54):
it's gonna do for independent voters. Let me take a
quick break, and then, Commander Melanie, I'm coming to you
with a question. We're talking to Savage Rich Barris, my
good friend who's the director of Big Data poll and
host of Inside the Numbers, best pollster in the business.
We're talking to also my wife who is with me
at the Trump rally, who fought her way to the
exit with me and performed just with such grace under fire.
(35:16):
Let me thank Glow for the rumble rant, timp. Let
me thank Boston Guy. Let me thanks steel Woman. Let
me thank James James Yoder, Thank you all for the
rumble rant tip. I mean, one hundred percent of what
we get there in that rumble rant goes to making
a better show. And by the way, folks, it's your show,
So it's your show, it always will be. That's my
(35:36):
pledge to always make this show about you. After all,
you're the patriots. You're the people who make this country exceptional.
And while I have you here on this break, go
ahead and smash that like button, that little green thumb
beneath the video, because we are on our way to
the leader board on Rumble. I think again. I think
we have a record number of live viewers right now,
which is amazing for the show viewers right now. Buddy,
(35:59):
Well yeah, well, thank you with the testament to YouTube,
right and the testament to the strength of the battle crew.
We got your savagery, rich and then of course Melanie's
looks and opinions a one two punch of awesome. But
so Melanie, what what was it like for you to
(36:21):
to make it out of there and see see the kids? Right?
And then another question of to see the the imagery
of Donald Trump seeing When did you see the imagery?
Because you were I mean you, you and I were separating.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Probably when I was in the car. I mean I wasn't,
like I said, everybody was down. We're in our section
because the bullets came from from behind us, so our
section was was taking cover. We didn't get to see
him stand up. I think you did because you kept
popping your head up and looking around. But everybody who
was huddled down on your knee just kept saying is okay?
Is okay? Do we just kept saying I don't know,
(36:58):
and that he had blood on his face so and
blood on his head. So it just because they got
him out of there didn't mean he wasn't already critically injured.
So it was it was that was just absolutely terrifying.
That was absolutely terrifying. And I remember when I did
pop up, all I saw was his lone black shoe
on the stage, when I.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Oh, yeah, take us back from that, because you heard
what he said that start from the very beginning there
say something.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
About well when he was on, I heard him say
something about I need my shoes. I need I heard
him saying that, I think. And then when I just
and then when we were I looked over to the
left when we were you were trying to get us,
direct us out, and just saw that shoe there, and
I'm thinking, oh my god, you know his shoe. You know,
he got knocked right out of his shoe by the
by the Secret Service. And again I still didn't know
if he was okay. I didn't see that picture on
(37:44):
social media until I got a cell phone signal when
I was back at the car, and it probably took
us what almost an hour to get out to the car,
forty five minutes, and our time was it was weird.
Time was weird then, So it took a while to
see that. And then I, you know, of course, I
was relieved by then. I was able to get in
touch with the you know, with the kids and let
everybody know. And thankfully I was able to get everybody
(38:04):
on the phone, like my like my dad, my aunt,
the kids and let them know what had happened before
they actually saw it on the news.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
So when I went back in, you coordinated to the
extent that you could communicating with our family, and for that,
I'm so grateful. But it was wild to see that
one loan shoe from Trump on the stage like that,
wasn't it. I mean, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
It was sort of just gave you a chill when
you saw that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
What did you What did you think of when you
looked at the image of Trump like this, Melanie, What
what was going because you saw it before me? What's
going through your mind when you see that?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
I was just so proud, you know, I couldn't I
already loved Trump, and I just couldn't love him more
when I saw that. It was just it was just amazing,
and of course it just the feeling of of like
relief and it just made me proud that he was
he was our president.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
So okay, so let's let's go to Rich for this one. Rich.
Something that really pisses me off, and Melanie, I want
at your perspective on this after. But something that is
that pisses me off is the media's role in this.
Like I refuse and if refused to both sides this issue.
And here's why, Like, I am so sick and tired
(39:21):
that every single time some leftist jackass attacks a conservative
or god forbid, kills a conservative, almost everybody in the
media is like, uh, you know, we got to unite.
This is a moment for quiet reflection. What kind of
country do we you know? No, this is not this
is a time to pick a side, because when a
(39:42):
conservative does it okay, and the rare rare, rare, rare
rare chance it almost never does a conservative commit political
violence against the leftists. But on the rare chance that
it does happen, you have left this in government, mobilizing
the Department of Homeland Security to label everybody domestic extremists,
to put people on no fly list. There's a national
(40:03):
movement to eradicate right wing extremism, you know, and of course,
like any form of terrorism is evil and wrong, but
the left owns political violence in this country. And I'm
the media constantly, and I'll tell you it's not just
about Oh Biden says thing on the campaign trill. Yeah,
he says some crazy shit on the campaign trail. Is
(40:24):
speech in Philadelphia in front of red calling half the
country maga extremists and domestic terrorists. Yeah, the guy's crazy. Okay,
the guy's absolutely nuts. But beyond that, the wholesale movement
on behalf of the media to labeled Trump a Russian agent,
a trader to the country, all these two impeachments, calling
people Nazis, Trump's a dictator, Trump's hitler. Every other day
(40:46):
on Morning Joe, those ass clowns are out there saying, oh,
two hundred and seventy years of the American experiment will
end if Donald Trump is elected. I'm tired of this bullshit.
And in the day, the day after the goddamn assassination.
Excuse my languages, my grandfather would do the side of
the cross every time he said that. But at the
like the New York Times late labels Trump the trader,
(41:07):
but day after the attempt.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Come on, Sean, I'm looking at the quote right now,
Lester Holt to Joe Biden. Have you done any soul
searching to reflect on whether anything you said may have
incited violence? Go yourself, Lester, Your whole news network is
like pushing everything that Sean just rattled off plus more. Meanwhile,
(41:30):
when a guy, if we've already forgotten about this, when
a guy runs around a state putting fake bombs, they
weren't even real they were fake bombs. They called them
the magabomber and wanted to like round up Trump supporters. Right,
They're like the Palestinians every time they start a fight
and then they realize they're going to lose. And that's
what's going on here. They realize they're going to lose
(41:52):
this election, and now all of a sudden they want
peace and they want a truce. No, you, like, you
don't get to start conflict and then sound the peace horn.
You know, like you have to pay the consequences for it.
The media is a negative I can't imagine a more
negative force on our society. Like, I'm not sure any
(42:14):
institution any industry, any person, does more damage in this
society than our media. They lie about everything, Hands up,
don't shoot. Start racial wars. Tajuana Brawley was raped by
a duke Lacrosse, remember that. I mean, these people are
pathological liars. They do it for political gain, their own
(42:34):
to advance their own agenda, which is usually the agenda
of the state, obviously because there's state run media, and
they they never get held accountable for it, so we
let them go. They start a complete dangerous fiction that
Donald Trump is a trader who cocluded with Vladimir Putin.
So a guy who believes this decides he's gonna go
kill the House Majority leader or the House Majority whip.
(42:54):
Excuse me. Nobody does anything about it, by the way,
including Sam Scale. Nothing right. I mean, if I was
Steve Scalice, I would want somebody's ass, you know. I mean,
this is humble, and it just goes on and on.
Ram Paul's attack on his front lawn by his crazy
left wing neighbor who believes everything he reads in the
New York Times and listens to on MSNBC. I don't
(43:15):
understand how Alex Jones could get sued into an oblivion
over Sandy Hook. But these people can continue to carry
on and continue.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
To do what they do.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
They're inflicting real pain on people. They are inciting people
to shoot the presidential candidate of a major political party, who,
by the way, they're trying to put in prison for
the rest of his life. So, I mean, it's just
two sides of the same coin here, Sean. These are
just bad people and they only want to unify. They're
full of shit. They want to unify, so they don't
(43:45):
so they can skirt any accountability whatsoever. They have no
desire to unify. They wanted to settle down so they
can put everybody in cages. Again. That's their I mean,
this is where they're going with this. Steve Bannon's rotten
in a jail cell right now for being St've Bannon.
Peter Navarro is also, by the way, rotting in the
jail cell because of trade, you know, renegotiating trade deals
(44:06):
with China. These people are political terrorists, that's what they are.
And they don't play by the rules of the American
experiment anymore. They don't even believe in it anymore. And
let's face it, they know exactly what they're doing and
when cosame thing with mass shootings. They've been told by
law enforcement, Fed's academia, you're a contagion. We used to
call it the Columbine effect. Now we call it a contagion.
(44:29):
They inspire copycats, and they inspire mass shooting events, and
they don't give a damn. They don't care. They've been
told by everybody. They don't care because they want the
Second Amendment gone. They don't care who they inspire to
take a shot at Donald Trump. They want him gone.
It's that simple. They thought, well, we'll beat him in
an election. Doesn't look like we can do that. Maybe
we'll put him in prison. Doesn't look like we can
(44:49):
do that. What's left here? That's why you and I
for months have been talking. You know, I hate to
say it. It's just gonna be sad, but I expect
somebody to take a shot at this man. I mean,
how long have we been saying this? You know?
Speaker 1 (45:01):
And they create months rich and they and they and
they attack us. They they lift our segments, They clipped
our segments, they called us crazy.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Guess what we were fing right, Yeah, they clipped our segments.
Look at the crazy right wingers, Look at the conspiracy theorists.
They create opporum motive first, they create the desire, you know.
They find the exploit, the vulnerable and the uh you know,
the the vulnerable and I don't want to say weak,
but certainly vulnerable and impressionable. They find them in society.
(45:32):
These are people who are like hurting for something to
be a part of. You know, let's face it. They
don't have God in their lives, most of them. They're
like same reason people join gangs, same reason people join
Antifa and want to be a part of Antifa. They
have no meaning and they are told that this man
is a menace, he's a danger. You know what, I
could be a hero here. I could do something good.
I can I can make my mark on history. I
(45:53):
can change the tide of history. And they do this
and they think in their minds because the media told
them they're the here row here, Sean, they're the hero here.
It's un it's just unbelievable, brother, it's unbelievable. And they
until they're punished for this. You cannot hide behind the
banner of journalism and do this. They're not even journalists.
(46:14):
And by the way, the freedom of the press didn't
mean that anyway they had. That's not what it really meant.
You didn't give you a right to just smear people
whenever you want and destroy people whenever you want. Because
you're a journalist. You're not a guardian of the halls
of power. You're not a truth teller. You're full of shit.
You're a hack and the whole you. You work for
a building filled with hacks, and that's all you do.
(46:36):
You're a political vehicle to serve a party that serves
the state. And until they're held accountable for that, this
is going to continue. And they'll back off on one
unity only because they're in a bad spot, and then
they'll pick it right back up again seventy two hours, pot,
give it's seventy two hours, and they'll be right back
at it.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
You watch, mel right, you're coming at you with a
similar question. You've actually been on the receiving end with me,
on the campaign trail of the media's lies. We were
actually on the cover of People magazine together, not in
the way that I think we wanted to be. But look,
what do you what do you make? What do you
make of the media's role in all of this?
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Well, I'll tell you something that happened when I was
walking out with some of the people. You were pushing
the wheelchair, you were helping, helping people. And I had
this conversation with a lady walking with me and I said,
you watch, I said, the media is going to somehow
turn this around and blame us, And she kind of
laughed and she said, how would they do that. I said,
they're totally going to blame Trump supporters. And you see
(47:37):
it like we saw it first in the next morning,
you know, pretty much saying like victim, blame me, like
Trump brought this on himself, you know, like so. And
I also said to the lady, I don't I wouldn't
be surprised that they tried to say this as a hoax.
And by the time I got my daughter on the
phone and she pulled up her she pulled up Twitter.
She said, that's what's trending, like that this was just
stage that was staged. So whenever you try to think
(48:01):
what the press is going to do is probably.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Gonna be ten times worse, it's true. I mean, I
think that they are vile, disgusting people that that that
have been on the front end of the destruction of
this country for far too long. When the last time
I've ever seen the media even be half honest, are
those videos of them making fun of Joe Biden saying
Joe Biden was not not number one in class? It
(48:26):
was actually a huge dumb ass. I mean, of course
I'm paraphrasing there, but like you.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Were born when.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Yes, that's probably true. Actually you might be right. When
was it? Do we know?
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Was it like I was born? I don't think you were?
Speaker 1 (48:45):
All right? So i got a couple of minutes left,
and I've got I've got a Newsmax. I've got a
Newsmax segment that I've got to go right from this
show to Newsmax. But I got to talk about the
lapses insecurity because the moment that Melanie I was on
the ground, what did I say, water tower or building?
And I said, there's no effing way there's someone on
the water tower or building, because why the Secret Service
(49:05):
has got to have those.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Rally we've been at there's been somebody up on the buildings,
on the rooftop surrounding us.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
At the end of the time, how does that, I mean,
how does that, Melanie, you were there, how does that
make you feel like that that they didn't have that
on lockdown.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
I'm just I'm just astounding. I still can't you know,
I still can't believe any of this even happened. But
to think that we were just there, like just sitting ducks,
I mean, they like the building was right there behind us.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
Nobody was covering.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
That, nobody, nobody was paying attention except.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
For people a few seconds the three thousand plus watching.
Go over to our locals page. Look at the picture
that Commander Melanie posted there. If you see the outline
of the building right behind us, right there, direct line
of sight to the President and by the way, one
hundred less than one hundred and fifty meters away, it's
not you don't even need to be a damn sniper.
(49:58):
A couple of weeks of rifle, basic rifle, marchmanship, and
basic training.
Speaker 3 (50:02):
Line up the irons, Sean, you line up the irons,
it's not hard. That rifle is meant for that distance.
That is the sweet spot for that rifle. For people
who don't understand which dectory is. You know, if you're
if you're uh, you know, going three hundred meters out,
you better aim higher. If you're coming in close, you
(50:23):
might need to aim a little lower because the bullet
goes up first, actually travel travels on an arc up first.
But man, that building just happened to be right in
the sweet spot of that weapon. And I got to
tell you, it is so inconceivable to me that they
did not clear or and even have a presence on
that rooftop. It's just suspect to me, Sean, I'm sorry.
(50:43):
The cynic in me tells me there's no way this
could have been an accident of some sort. Somebody gave
a non.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Case, and open members remembers, really members of Congress are
saying the same thing. There's no way, incomprehensible, it's inconceived.
They take ladders down off of fire escapes, on buildings,
they weld man hold covers down. When the President comes
through with this, this is nuts. This is not possible.
(51:11):
Where were the drones? And how did this guy twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Year old nobody because I've done a whole dive on
him in the database. How did this guy know nobody
would be on this building? Nobody would be covering this building?
Speaker 1 (51:26):
I heard you, did you know this? It just it
just broke today. It just broke right now that law
enforcement was aware of this guy and was tracking him
at at the rally at the rally, So my question
is I knew about this guy. This is let Trump
on stage? How do you let Trump on stage knowing
that the threat is still out there? It's it's I can't,
(51:48):
I can't believe.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Again, the FBI knew about the shotgun shooter from Malcolm X.
The truth is they wanted him to kill Malcolm X.
That's the damn truth. I'm sorry. And then they put
two innocent bastards in jail for more than two decades.
And when they knew they weren't guilty, they weren't the
shit the main shooter who uh? And actually one of
them really had nothing to do with anything at all.
(52:10):
Uh And they rotted in jail for two decades. Over
two decades, Sean, these are who these people are. I'm
like tired of giving them the benefit of the doubt.
There's no way in my mind that that building was
not cleared. There's no way they didn't have eyes on
it at all. Not the Cat's team, not the drones, nothing, nothing.
You got to be kidding me. And I heard Commander
(52:31):
Melanie say before we're gonna bring the kids. But it
was too hot. Thank god we didn't. I brought my
children into a Trump rally. Yeah, I had to work,
and I said I'll take them, Laura. I brought my
children into a Trump rally.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
We brought them to everyone else. We brought them to
every rally, but this.
Speaker 3 (52:48):
And you never think, you never think that that that
something like this really not in that kind of a forum,
because of course they've swept the place, they've gone through it.
There's an advanced team for people who don't know. There's
a team that goes in advance to check the location
and make sure all of these that building is most
definitely on that damn map or I don't know if
somebody left that off. Are we gonna find out by
(53:08):
the way that that building's not on the specs? You know,
all of a sudden, it's what poof not there? I mean,
I think we're gonna learn some really horrible stuff here, man,
I really do, because I just don't see any potential way.
National Arbor, Maryland. I go to see the President in
National Arbor, Maryland, and again.
Speaker 1 (53:23):
This is work.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
You better be there at a certain time. The place
is locked down. Secret services there far in advance by
the way. They know the route because he's done it before,
and yet they're still taking those kinds of precautions. You
can't get in the building. You're late, you're ten minutes late,
ten minutes past eight tough, you're not getting in. It's
totally locked down. There's no there's no way you're gonna
be able to, you know, come through a window at
(53:45):
him on a building to to you know, two buildings over,
because they're there, so you know this is inc it's not.
There's no way I can conceive. And I know we
talked about incompetence and maybe they're just not the best
of the best, but I thought about that after this shit.
Oh Sean, they still have SOP. Everyone's got a protocol,
you know. And I mean, even if they're morons and
(54:06):
they're incompetent and they're not recruiting the best people in
the world anymore, they still came after a bunch of
people who were really good, and those people taught them
all about how to protect their their charges. So there's
just no way, you know. I mean maybe if it
was something more complicated, but it's not. It's holding one
hundred and fifty meters over the only building with a
(54:27):
clear line.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
The most obvious place, right.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
The most obvious place.
Speaker 3 (54:32):
It's like, if that's what I'm saying, like this kid
decided he's gonna do the most obvious thing, and that's
the best place to go and take a full prone position.
You know, you got scooting over againting himself all comfortable.
In the video you can see it. Come on, man,
come on, I actually think, you know, reviewing that footage more.
(54:52):
I mean, at least it looked to me that the
Sheriff's department or whoever there was a local police were
like dumbfounded, you know when those people told him he
was on the building. I don't know what took so long.
We played the countdown today on the show. Look how
long so for them to react? What are you doing?
Which your you know, what are you doing? In two
minutes is way too long and it was over two minutes.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
By the way, it feels, it feels like it's just hard.
It just feels like it was deliberate. It feels like
it was deliberate. So okay, I gotta leave it there,
happy savage Rich tell tell the thousands of us where
they can find you, how they can support you.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Best place is always brothers on Locals, People's Pundit dot
locals dot com, People's Pundit dot locals dot com.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
I'll see you, yep, see you soon, Rich Commander Melanie,
what about you? Anything you got to say before we
pop smoke today?
Speaker 2 (55:43):
You said, where can you find me? Right here?
Speaker 1 (55:44):
In four part? Now? All right, I love you. I'll
see you for dinner. H And that's it, folks, Thank
you for the special edition of Battleground Live. Just all
insider stuff, insider baseball of what happened that night. And
let me tell you, uh, let me, oh well, let
(56:07):
the people of this country would make it exceptional. The
people of that and that rally what make it exceptional, folks.
Let me tell you lastly about the the rally. When
those shots rang out, we knew there was a sniper.
People's lives were at risk, but the crowd did not stampede,
they didn't run, they didn't hurt anyone. They comported themselves
(56:28):
under fire like true patriots, the patriots that they were,
the real story, of course, there's lots of stories out
of the Trump rally, but the story of how the
American people, the America first patriots at that rally comported
themselves under fire. To me, it's the most important one.
They didn't stampede, they didn't run, they didn't hurt anyone.
(56:50):
In fact, they did the opposite. They helped people who
needed it, and that matters. So, folks, I'll see you tomorrow.
We got a great week of shows planned for you
to do, so thank you for being the best patriots
on the face of the planet. I'll see tomorrow. God
bless you all, and God bless this exceptional nation that
we call home. Take care, good night, and I will
(57:11):
see you tomorrow. Folks,
