Trump Makes Damning Admissions on Day After Shooting…

about the alleged shooting at the White House Correspondence dinner last night.

First that the alleged shooter, Cole Allen, supposed to be a 31-year-old from California,

who got an engineering degree from Caltech. Apparently he was nowhere near, Donald Trump when the shooting occurred. He still basically remained outside of the security perimeter. But everybody was acting like he got very close and should also be noted that there was no designated survivor in the room where the White House Correspondence dinner was taking place.

That's a pretty odd thing and it goes against all protocol. Also, it was pretty odd that the Secret Service went to protect JDVans first.

“Instead of Donald Trump, I think most significantly the Trump regime and all of its significance”

have made this instantly about Donald Trump's golden ballroom and in unison. Now it's like 50 to 60 of the top mega influencers and the top people in the Trump regime

with a unified voice all basically posting the same message.

This is why we need a golden ballroom. This is why we need a golden ballroom. Donald Trump made a post this morning also saying this is why I need a golden ballroom. And now mega Republicans are saying, you know what? Really the taxpayers are the ones who need to pay for the golden ballroom.

In the next department of Homeland Security funding bill, the taxpayers should be paying for the golden ballroom because of this incident. There's a lot of other red flags that I want to go through with you one by one. But let's not forget that Donald Trump's approval heading into this White House Correspondence

“Center was the lowest in presidential history, right?”

His approval was 33 percent based on the latest AP North Pole on the economy. It was 30 percent. That's worse than Nixon at the time of Nixon's resignation. Also, let's not forget what happened yesterday as well. Where there was supposed to be if you believe the Trump regime's version of events,

a meeting in Pakistan with the Iranian delegation, with foreign minister Iraq, she and others from Iran.

Even though the Iranian delegation had always said they're not meeting with the Trump regime.

Donald Trump used the same media that was in the room at this White House Correspondence Center to spread lies to the American people and manipulate the markets. On Friday that this meeting was going to take place. When the Iranian Foreign Minister left, Trump regime had to come up with their next lie and they said, "Oh, the Iranian sent us to

document. We just didn't like the document." So we didn't want to waste our time. So that's the events that were heading into this White House Correspondence Center. And then the alleged incident takes place. I mean, just look at the conduct and behavior of the Trump regime officials.

As we posted on the Midas touch account, they were all smiles. I mean, they looked like they were having the time of their life after this alleged shooting. I mean, look at them. Like they're literally partying with the media. Like this should be a very serious and solemn incident.

“If you actually think about historical events where shootings happened, right?”

But they're like high-fiving each other. They're laughing. They're jolly. He holds a press conference last night. 30 minutes after the incident to demand a golden ballroom. And then to say, "Well, this isn't going to impact the fact that we're still going to win the war in Iran." I mean, no matter what you believe or don't believe about the incident,

what is an undisputed fact is he immediately turned it into a propaganda and political moment using the same "sicophantic media" that props him up in order to spread more propaganda to the American people. That's clear. Here are more photos of them all smiling. Look at Todd Blanch, J.D. pants. Haha. They think this is the funniest thing ever. Here is Hegseth laughing. Alina Habba after the incident posted the following.

10 out of 10. Slayed on the look. She said she's slayed. She thinks that she looks so good in her dress. She wants everybody to know after the shooting that she's slayed on the look. Then you had Chip Roy, Magga Republic, and Congress member say, "Any consideration of DHS reconciliation instructions this week and beyond should provide for the construction of a secure ballroom on White House grounds in addition to other concerns

being addressed regarding ICBP, Save America, Transgender and Abortion Funding, Recon 3 and more." In other words, now they're not just going to use the shooting in order to purport a shooting in order to try to build a golden ballroom, but they're also going to use it to attack the transgender communities and marginalize communities and try to prevent people from

following. What happened this is what Trump posted this morning? 546 AM. What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great military secret service law enforcement. And for different reasons, every president for the last 50 years has been demanding that a large safe and secure

ballroom be built on the grounds of the White House. The event would never have happened with the

military top secret ballroom, currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough while beautiful. It has every highest level security feature there is plus. There are no room sitting on top for unssecured people to pour in. And is inside the gates of the most secured building in the world, the White House. The ridiculous ballroom lawsuit brought by a woman walking her dog who has absolutely no standing to bring such a suit must be dropped immediately.

Nothing should be allowed to interfere with its construction, which is on budget and substantially ahead of schedule. Thank you for your attention to this matter. So now you would also want to hold the White House Correspondence Dinner inside the White House. When the very nature of what the event

is supposed to be, it's supposed to show the independence of the press that you visit them.

But now you're using this to build your golden ballroom. And by the way, the press plays right into this, of course, as well. You know, I mean, you'll have, you know, on CNN, Dana Bash, you know, asks Jamie Raskin, who's a guest. So don't you think the rhetoric of the Democrats is just a

“little too heated right now? Don't you think it's just too heated? You need to tone it down.”

Jamie Raskin's like, what are you talking about? Donald Trump's covering up child sex trafficking rings inflation is surging right now. He's engaged in war crimes in a lawful war. What does any of this have to do with anything? You're alleging that a shooter who got nowhere near the underlying event in the White House Correspondence Dinner that this now means golden ballrooms. And we could give Donald Trump everything he wants and attack transgender community. What the

hell are we even doing here? You're a play this clip of Jamie Raskin. Yeah, and you have as many of your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. And do you think twice about that when something like this happens? What rhetoric do you have in the United States? Just talking about some of the fact that he, you know, is terrible put this country. And so in itself, I understand that that's your democratic right. But overall, do you have a personal

problem with Donald Trump at all? I mean, I talk about the policies of this administration, the authoritarianism, like we saw on display in Minneapolis, where two of our citizens were gunned down in the streets, simply for exercising their first amendment rights. We're in a good Alex Pretty. And others, you know, died in custody. I'm talking about policies. I don't personalize

it. And I certainly have never called the press the enemy of the people. I think the press or the

“people's best friend. And that's why it's written right there into the first amendment. We need the press”

to be a vigilant watchdog against every level of government, federal, state, local, all of it. You're not going to get an argument for me on that before I let you go. You know, and then on meet the press, you had Donald Trump's acting attorney general Todd Blanche. You know, when he was asked, you know, what do you think it was safe to have the vice president and the president, defense secretary, treasury secretary, all of these people in the same room.

And Blanche was like, yeah, I mean, the shooter didn't even get close at all. Here play this clip. Was it safe to have the president, cabinet officials, members of Congress, the first lady, the vice president, such high-ranking officials all in the same room at the same time? Yes, of course, we're not going to stop living. We're not going to start doing our jobs. We're not going to stop all the work that we're doing every day. And by the way, and then you were there last night,

as well, let's not forget that the suspect didn't get very far. He barely broke the perimeter and by barely, I mean, by a few feet. And so while this was extraordinarily dangerous and put a lot of lives at risk and there's no doubt that that's something that we're going to have to learn from over the next couple of weeks, the system worked. We were safe. President Trump was safe. His secret service agents kept him safe. All of us were safe. And so while yes, it was a very

tragic situation that as President Trump said last night, we are not going to stop living. We're not going to start being out there with the American people. And that's if that was his goal, he failed. And he was stopped. He was able, as you say, to breach that security checkpoint by

“merely a few feet. And I think that's an important point that at least Jennifer Jacobs points out”

the shooting happened or the alleged shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House correspondent association dinner was. I don't think people hearing about this or even

It was on another floor up some stairs and several sets of security away because the Washington

Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions. The entire building wasn't

“secured by the secret service. Just the specific areas where the White House correspondent”

association dinner was held law enforcement officials have been saying. And so this is who they're saying the guy was who did it. This is who they're alleging a guy by the name of Cole Allen, California, computer scientist 31 years old. He went to Caltech, Mechanical Engineer, former student researcher at NASA's Alleged Jet Propulsion Laboratory, computer scientist with advanced masters degree and Caltech. He built offensive and defensive robotic systems, physics-based

simulations. He graduated in 2017. This is what I saw. No, money is reporting. Here's just a quick clip of him when he was in Caltech that has surfaced recently. Here, play this clip right here. College student Cole Allen developed a prototype for a wheelchair emergency break. The wheelchair breaks tend to walk the wheels, but don't actually walk the chair to the ground. The idea with this is to prevent it from moving at a recent aging into the future conference held

by St. Barnabas senior services and the Eisner Foundation offered a test run on products that have the potential to enrich the lives of seeing. I'll also show you how CNN's trying to frame this. This is how Brian Stelter is trying to frame this. That no Donald Trump just called for unity. This was all about unity. Everybody here. Let's play this clip right here. You know a couple minutes before this happened. I was with House Speaker Mike Johnson.

I shook Johnson's hand. I was talking to him. And then I was walking across the ballroom Victor kind of taken the long way toward the CNN tables because I wanted to see some of my friends and some of my sources. And so I ended up on the ground next to an executive from Comcast, some people from MBC. And in that moment, you know, there was a lot of unity. And I'm thankful that President Trump talked about that unity last night. And did not try to heighten the tensions

or escalate the situation. He could have very easily gone out there and bashed the press last night

and blamed the media for attracting this suspect to the ballroom. But instead, he basically said

“we're all in this together. And that's certainly true. And that's how it feels this morning as well.”

More from Maga right here, one of their top influencers. This guy Scott Presler, who's their main voter outreach guy. He posted the following. Dear leader, Thune, and our Republican Senate majority since Democrats are literally trying to assassinate President Trump. Can you come back to Washington, D.C. and pass the Save America Act before Democrats have the opportunity to win back power. Thank you. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Full of Kowski writes,

Maga activists and influencers seizing on the incident in a lobby that was actually not close to the ballroom for unrelated pieces of legislation. And you had other Maga influencers saying, "The Secret Service Agent Shot had been working without pay for over a month,

“alleging a Secret Service Agent was shot in a bullet-proof vest. And the Secret Service”

have been working without pay." Yeah, Secret Service agents have indeed been receiving pay during the ongoing DHS shutdown, which is really just impacting ice. Funded through other means like the one big, beautiful billack. The department remains unfunded, but agents are being paid. You know, the Secret Service are being paid. This was a lie that Maga tried to push out. And there was this other part of the incident where you had Dan Skavino trying and failing

to start the, you know, by the way, there's no one closer to the regime than Dan Skavino. I mean, he's as close as you get. And as soon as this bizarre incident happened again, not close to where the ballroom was, he wanted to start a USA chance, because like, USA, USA, and then nobody else was doing the chant here at play of this clip. USA! USA! USA! USA!

And again, in breaking protocol, you see that the Secret Service went for

J.D. Vans first, over Donald Trump, you're playing this clip.

protocols regarding having a designated survivor not in the room? I mean, isn't that raising

lots of red flags? Here's what Todd Blanche had to say, let's play this clip right here.

“So, you must have attended past correspondence dinner. I mean, for over 50 years, they've been”

held at this hotel. Last night, it was extraordinary because we had the President, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Treasury, all in the same room. Those are five out of the top six leaders in that line of succession for this country should something have actually happened to the President himself. Was there planning for that? I mean, when we have the State of the Union, there's a designated survivor. Was there an

increased concern about gathering all of our leadership in that room last night? We will not stop doing things like we did last night in this administration. And this man,

if his one of his goals was to get us to be scared, he failed. And let me just let me make clear

that you're right. All those folks were in the room and more. And yet, we were all safe, law enforcement did their jobs. And so, President Trump said last night, and he needs it. And I very much agree with him that this type of conduct will not deter him, it will not stop him from living, it will not stop him from doing his job. And that is not not only him, but the Vice President, the Cabinet, the law enforcement, you all, journalists. You're not going to stop doing

your jobs either because of this loan man that the did what he did. And so, this is something that we all are still reacting to because it's fresh. But I assure you that the types of things that you saw last night and the President being out there and available to the American public, that will not change because of what this guy tried to do last night. Well, they're happy. You know, folks, when I think about this incident last night, and I think about

how immediately the media was reporting, the Trump regime narratives. Oh, this is about unity and sympathy. We need to come together and rally together. And even if things are looking bad, how courageous there's nothing, let me be very clear. If you want me to say anything that Donald Trump or his regime did last night was courageous, you're watching the wrong media network. Okay, nothing is going to change my criticism of his policies of his regime. So long as those policies

“are harming and killing the American people. That's what we should focus on. This entire event”

from the outset was a complete force. Some black tie event with no comedian even mocking the President where the media would be basically celebrating Donald Trump destroying the first amendment the whole concept of this event to me was disgusting in the first place. So no, you're not going to get any, you know, oh, I'm so sorry about what not. Stop it. Stop, stop it. We're

going to be very critical of the facts. What happened? And we're going to report honestly and

truthfully right here. You know, just you think about what magas also focused on right now. They want to also, you know, use this to what like go after their enemies. Elon Omar, whatever. I just noticed all of a sudden, there's a lot of right wing articles about like a winery tie to Elon Omar's husband is closing as Congress probes her finances. Oh, really, Elon Omar's husband and her finance. I mean, Donald Trump and his family have taken literally billions and billions of dollars in quid pro quotes

in the most most disgusting way. But this is what right wing media focused on right now this weekend, as well. I mean, it's so despicable as well. When I even saw that that was like a major topic on right wing media. And it's why I use ground news because they're the best tool for me to not just stay objective on my reporting. But I want to see what's being reported on the right wing on the

“left wing in the so-called center. Right. That's why I partner with ground news every episode. They're”

the best tool for me in doing this reporting. It's an app and a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world and organizes them by story to show you how's the left, how's the center? How's the right framing stories differently? What are they prioritizing in terms of their coverage for every story? The color code to lay out makes it easy to see the political bias of each source. I can filter for high-factuality sources and see which sources are independently owned or

owned by a large media conglomerate with corporate interest. This lets you compare reporting on the same issue in one place so you can come to your own conclusion based on all the facts. On this article for example I saw that it was just right wing media covering it and pushing it. So if you're reading right wing news you think this is like the biggest story but it's just in your own echo chamber. And by the way if you're reading left wing media only you have no clue that this is what they're

talking about this weekend. We're like I have a blind spot to what that's even going on over there which is why ground news even has a dedicated blind spot feed a personal favorite of mine

to help burst through echo chambers because I believe in ground news so much we're offering 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research here. So just go click the link in the description or go to ground.news/empty n or scan the QR code up here. It's one of the biggest

“discounts they've ever offered. Ground.news/empty n. If you want to support the channel and get a”

clearer understanding of the world try out ground news. I want to get back to my coverage now as well. We're on state regime media you had Peter Ducey saying because of this incident Donald Trump may need to wear a bulletproof vest wherever he goes now here play this clip. But that there are discussions underway at the White House about whether or not President Trump is going to have to start wearing a bulletproof vest for future events in public Jackie. Peter thank you so much.

Then you had Todd Blanc saying the way we respond to incidents like this we can hide in a bunker.

We gotta be strong right now. First off, y'all are building the bunker. This golden ballroom thing

you're talking about is Donald Trump said it's all about the bunker underneath and you know what are we even talking? The individual barely breached the security perimeter and was actually nowhere near the ballroom and you're all trying to act like Donald Trump did something courageous. He did not do anything courageous. His regime did not do anything courageous. This entire event from the outset was a ridiculous event in light of the regime attacking the first amendment.

And I'm not going to move away from that position right now while the media tries to act like, oh my god can you believe this? I guess we shouldn't focus on the fact that Donald Trump has still we're still in a catastrophic war and Iran and Donald Trump manipulates the markets every day and we're here to play this clip. On the one hand we take those threats very seriously.

Always have and we always will. On the other hand, we do not. The way we respond to those threats

is not to go into a bunker and hide. It's to trust the law enforcement that are keeping us safe and

“and that's what happened last night and that's what I think we will continue to see going forward.”

But folks with the media is also focused on is King Charles still coming this week because corporate news, that's the big deal. The king is coming to the United States, the king, everybody, yay and we're going to do a royal welcome here because people who can't even afford their freaking groceries right now and who can't afford gas and who can't pay their rent. They're like, oh my gosh, is the king coming? Are we going to build more golden ballrooms?

Are we going to a horse and chariot for everybody? What are we even talking about here? The American people are suffering. This whole media ecosystem is the complete rot. No wonder they love Trump so much the corporate news. They're all just a rotten bunch. Aren't they? You're playing this clip. Everything in place for the visit of King Charles this week? Sorry, can you repeat that story? Is everything in place for the visit of King Charles this week?

Yeah, so look, I think that we we expect that that he that suspect will be charged tomorrow morning in federal court with two counts, a salt to the federal officer and use of a firearm during a crime and violence. We're going to continue to investigate and it'll just be a complaint tomorrow

and then die mobile will be coming in the coming days or weeks and go from there. Finally,

you know, it's the 30th. At least you had Rokana going on networks this morning and at least forcefully pushing back. Let's play this clip right here. You've supported several unsuccessful resolutions to limit President Trump's war powers in Iran. Do you think President Trump will be able to secure congressional authorization for this war? No, President, let me be clear. We need to end this war. Americans are struggling.

Gas prices are up. Food prices are up. Housing costs are up. The reason those prices are up is because the straight up for boost is closed and because of this war, it's caused devastation before working families. The President ran saying that he would bring prices down. Prices are up in his administration and the way most Americans want this war. And even 54 percent of Republicans believe we need negotiation to end the war. The Pope is saying

end the war. Americans agree with the Pope. We need a negotiated settlement and this war needs to end and I'll remind you all again that when yesterday started, Donald Trump was trying to justify why he was no longer sending Whitcloth and Kushner to speak with the Pakistanis and to go to Islamabad, like he promised on Friday when he propped up the market and said there was going to be a major meeting in Pakistan. Here, play this clip.

“That's what he said to borders that we're dealing with in charge now. What changed the”

nefter days to today? Nothing. It's just that they gave us a paper that should have been better

much better. We talked about, we talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon first ever.

Look, that whole deal is not complicated. A rent could not have a nuclear weapon. While all of this is going on, what we should be focused on, where we should be paying attention to, the massive energy crisis taking place in Asia. It's very reminiscent of when we saw what was going on in Covid in Asia and then it spread, it spread, it spread, it spread and started going

“to Europe and then it reached the United States. Do you remember that? Let me just share with you”

what's going on in Japan right now. One of the major things on Japanese television right now is

hobby or blaze explains, is the first oil tanker bringing crude oil to Japan because the energy

crisis is that significant that they're focusing on. As he says, you know, Asia is truly short of crude oil when Japanese television covers the arrival of a single oil tanker as a major news story

“right here. Here, play this clip. And also, what was going on yesterday as well, lots of”

reporting on the Epstein files before this White House correspondence dinner, the fact that Republicans wanted to do, we're working with Donald Trump to pardon Guillain Maxwell. The survivors were all in Washington, D.C. to bring attention to this massive cover-up of the child sex trafficking ring. We learned more about the despicable conditions on our naval ships that our soldiers are forced

“to endure right now. We got you these photos from Newsweek, from the USS Abraham Lincoln showing”

service members, receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some truths have lost significant weight because they're not even being fed. They're not even being fed anymore. I mean, so utterly horrific. And I'll just share this video with you, too. This was after the incident took place at the White House Correspondence dinner where FBI Director Cash Patel was on his phone, just hanging outside the venue like a random White House Correspondence dinner antennae,

finding like, was he like trying to get an Uber or something? Here, let's just take a look at this. , sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. . Well, there you have it folks. Let me know what you think.
