According to the shooter's manifesto, Epstein related stories fueled his rage at Trump. It goes back to the Epstein file. So here's part of his manifesto. He says, I'm a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me, and I'm no longer willing [00:00:17] to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. Well, to be honest, I was no longer willing to a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it. So he took it into his own hands. He said no one else [00:00:33] is going to do anything about it. And again, it's not just about just Trump doing what he did. It's just everybody in this administration who enables him and makes excuses for him. And then the Democrats who also seem powerless and kind of pointless at this point, because they're not really doing anything to protect the American people. uh or just get this guy [00:00:53] out of office, however that needs to happen. And people are getting frustrated and then they're kind of like coming up to a point where it's like, fine, I'll just do this then. So it did say that his targets were administration officials, excluding FBI Director Cash Patel. [00:01:08] And Allen wrote uh that he was not targeting the guests, the cops or the venue security unless they tried. stop his attack. So what he said was I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary on the basis that most people choose [00:01:24] to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist and traitor and are thus complicit, but I really hope it doesn't come to that. So uh to that point, there was a lot of debate and discussion around the people who chose to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner knowing that Trump [00:01:41] would be attending this time. And some people believe that these members of the press Even though the dinner is for them that they should have boycotted in a protest against Trump and against also a lot of the right wingers who were present at the dinner, including [00:01:56] a lot of podcasters, the people who are allowed in the Pentagon briefings when actual journalists are not allowed in there. So now Trump gave an interview with 60 Minutes where he was confronted about the shooter calling him a rapist and a pedophile. And we can actually show you that clip. But he was not happy about being asked about it by Nora O'Donnell. So here's what [00:02:17] he actually said. He says, she read him the bit from the manifesto that said that he was all these things. And he said, well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're a horrible person, horrible person. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. oh But didn't he though? Wasn't he found guilty of [00:02:37] that? Let's fact check it real quick. Here's this headline. Oh, E. Jean Carroll, the jury finds Trump sexually abused the writer in a New York department store. Yeah, that is what he did. And he continued to rage at O'Donnell beyond that. She said, do you think that he [00:02:57] was referring to you? When he was referring to the pedophile in office, she's like, you think that was you? And he says, excuse me, excuse me, I am not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person. I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with [00:03:14] me. I was totally exonerated. That's his favorite thing to say. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let's say Epstein or other things. And then he went on, he added more. said, but I said to myself, I'll do this interview and [00:03:31] they'll probably, I read the manifesto. It was a sick person, but you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. And I never was. And then she said, Mr. President, these are the words of the gunman. And he says, excuse me, excuse me. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 minutes, you're a disgrace, but go ahead, let's finish [00:03:51] the interview. My god, every time I have to read Trump quotes, it's very hard to get through. what's interesting a little bit about that is he said you shouldn't be reading this on 60 minutes. Maybe he thought that 60 minutes was a safe space for him now that Barry Weiss is [00:04:10] in charge. But Barry Weiss still has some work to do before she cleans out all the actual journalists from CBS. And I guess she's working on it. Maybe she will. I'm sure she'll probably hear from the president about that interview shortly if she hasn't already. But JR, is this [00:04:28] reflective of a hopeless, helpless population? Do you think this is a symptom of all that? It's a sign, I believe, of a population that doesn't trust anything that this guy has to say. He has to go on TV and then remember that was the Richard Nixon back in the day? That [00:04:45] was the famous last words, I'm not a crook. the whole thing and they always do the thing with their hands. um No, I'm not a pedophile. I'm not a rapist. I'm not a child sex trafficker. Weird, man. This should usually like buries people. And for some reason, we continue to [00:05:01] listen to it, laugh at it, talk about it, and then don't go, hey, let's force. I know, I understand. The reason it hasn't happened yet, he's got control over all of these agencies that keeps these things from happening. But the investigation needs to go on. There's accusations, very credible ones in those files that point out exact opposite of what is that he's claiming [00:05:19] he's all about. But he has to deny it. then Laura O'Donnell, and not Laura, sorry, Nora O'Donnell apparently set the trap. If you see the video, he has this pause moment after he says all that and she goes, you thought he was talking about you? And he has like a second, [00:05:36] two seconds about, oh just gave away the game, bro. That's what he does. He doesn't think these things through. He's a bad liar and he just rants and raves. And then once he's caught, it goes to excuse me, excuse me, don't finish in case you might bring up the fact that I just exposed myself. And let me call you disgusting, a disgrace and it shouldn't be talked about. [00:05:57] That doesn't work anymore. Nobody's buying this anymore. The fact that even if you can glance at the first stories you will see about this whole thing that happened in the White House Correspondence Dinner and see that the majority of people are like this is madness, nonsense, [00:06:12] made up, hoax. set up. It means people are finally like, yo, we're gonna start at this starting point of Donald Trump is lying. Because the starting point is Donald Trump always lies. It's amazing that it took us this long to realize it. Actually, it's a little disappointing, but we're now at the point. Anything that may be real, the good thing is that no one is [00:06:33] gonna assume that. You're gonna have to prove it now. You're starting guilty, and that's the way it should be. That's what I've been saying for a very long time. Every time he speaks, know that he's probably lying because everything else he said before that was a lie. It's been verified. We've proven it out. There's a bunch of fact checking. He hates fact checkers. [00:06:49] It's so blatant and straightforward and in our face. No one's believing this anymore. So if there's a bit of reality, sorry, bro. Too bad, so sad. Nobody's believing this anymore. Yeah, who hates fact checkers and why is that an acceptable position? the American people. [00:07:07] Why is that an okay thing that we're like, it's fine that our president doesn't like to be fact checked on things. But that's where we're at. Now, I totally agree with you that we shouldn't listen to anything he says. We shouldn't listen to anything from the administration because we know they lie. It's not suspect, we know they lie.
