Peak Prosperity - Trump’s Poor Security and the Even Worse Anti-Trump Speech

Episode Date: September 18, 2024

The second Trump assassination attempt is proving to be as revealing and instructive as the first one.  For some reason it’s HARD to protect Trump properly. The DNC is responsible for fanning the ...social flames that have brought us to these attempts, but they seem unable to do much more than DARVO and (perversely) blame Trump.Click Here for Part 2

Today, we're going to continue our investigation into the second Trump assassination attempt. As well, we're going to look at some causes and some remaining questions that exist. Hello, everyone. I am Dr. Chris Martinson of Peak Prosperity. We're going to be doing this, looking at the second attempt on Trump's life, looking at some causes, have some questions. We'll be getting back to the first assassination attempt very shortly because there is new data that's
Starting point is 00:00:49 come out around that. That'll probably be next. But first, let's turn here. Look, this is really crazy. We got questions. 12 hours, apparently, Ruth Routh, however you pronounce his name, he was lying in wait. So just hanging out in the bushes here 12 hours seems a little bit odd because, as we've mentioned before, it's kind of a public thoroughfare. There's a sidewalk. There's a road there. It's not exactly the middle of the jungle. This is Florida. And so the question is, well, why? Why? How is that even possible? How is it possible that you would leave a concealed position where Trump is going to be and you haven't walked the perimeter on the outside? Susan Crabtree reporting here saying, here is the big issue with Sunday's assassination attempt against Trump. Why the Secret Service failed in its protective mission Sunday and should not be taking a victory lap right now. No, they should not. The Secret Service should have swept the perimeter of the golf course before Trump.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Yeah, yeah, you think? You think? Here's what Susan Crabtree was writing about this. Says, quote, sources in the Secret Service community tell me when President Biden golfs, they sweep the perimeter as best they can. Hmm. That seems even odd, right? As best they can. Certainly anything within three, four hundred yards of a president. You're going to want to have pretty good eyes on that, obviously. Carrying on, quote, but previous assassination attempt protocol for Trump was not to do it. But since July 13th, J-13, the Secret Service allegedly was just shy of the full package. So what gives? Good question. They could have at least used canines to try and do their best to sweep the perimeter.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Why was Ryan Routh, a deranged individual with a long history of felonies and gun crimes, in 2002, of course, as we mentioned yesterday, he locked himself in his former employer's office with a fully automated weapon after getting pulled over by police with a high-powered rifle. Why was he allowed to sit on the perimeter or near it for a full 12 hours with a long gun barrel sticking out of the bushes while Trump golfed? Now, the Justice Department criminal complaint says there was a special agent walking the perimeter, and that's who found him. Now, if that's true, there was at least that going on, thank goodness. And as we're going to see, that person was actually inside walking the perimeter, not outside walking the perimeter.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Big difference. And so at any rate, acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe having a tough run in his role, obviously, for good reason, should not have been taking a victory lap yesterday, end of story okay so somehow in our easy hard framework providing proper protection for trump is hard it's just hard what are you going to do walk every perimeter you know actually see if you know things look okay roofs are too sloped it's too hot there's bushes it's hard but when it's somebody you care about, it's kind of easy. That's the easy-hard framework. Some things for the machine of DC, some things are easy.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Some things are hard, of course. So that's the easy-hard framework. Now, let's see. Let me just get my, I'm going to have to pull my audio up here, make sure we're maxed out on this because it's always a little iffy let's listen in to this according to the allegations in the complaint a u.s secret service agent walking the golf course perimeter saw what appeared to be a rifle poking out of the tree line after the agent fired a service weapon in the direction of the rifle, a witness saw a man later identified as Ralph fleeing the area in the tree line. Ralph was
Starting point is 00:04:52 later apprehended by officers from the Martin County Sheriff's Office in coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. The complaint alleges that in the area of the tree line from which Ralph fled, agents found a digital camera, a backpack, a loaded SKS-style rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food. The serial number on the rifle was obliterated. According to the complaint, Roth was convicted of felonies in North Carolina in December 2002 and March 2010, and therefore was prohibited from possessing a firearm. A couple of things. First, the Secret Service agent fired her service weapon. I heard that very clearly. So good, good move there. It was Secret Service. We didn't know before if it was Secret Service or private security that Trump had hired.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So was Secret Service good? But oh, look, an update. Within hours, within a day or two of this whole thing happening, and we have an update. And we'll probably get more updates. This is what it's supposed to sound like, people. Now we're still waiting for what I would consider to be a reasonable, proper update from the FBI about what their investigation is ongoing in Pennsylvania. You kind of get the sense that when they want to provide an update because it's a legit investigation, you get an update. When you don't get updates, we're free to speculate that
Starting point is 00:06:31 maybe it's not entirely on the up and up, that something's being hidden, that somehow there's embarrassing facts that they have to figure out how to pack a narrative around. And of course, that's why we've done all of our investigation so far, is to make sure that we get the facts out on the table so the narrative doesn't just get to trundle off and be a silly narrative before the facts are brought to bear. Now, what's interesting here is on this, Benny Johnson surfaced this. I found this. There's the link down below to the x.com or Twitter handle of Benny for this particular tweet, where she said, President Trump just dropped the receipts on every single Democrat who has contributed to the hateful rhetoric against him, which has now led to two assassination attempts. So, of course,
Starting point is 00:07:16 you do hear all the time from certain people, typically Democrats, and I know they're politicizing this. I understand politics, but still they say that it's Trump's hateful rhetoric that's going to, that will maybe lead to something bad. Hate speech is a bad thing because then it leads to hateful outcomes, but they seem a little bit blind to the idea that maybe their own hate speech is delivering the same sorts of bad outcomes that they seem to be very concerned about, but only unidirectionally when it's affecting somebody else on their side of the table. It's very hypocritical. It doesn't feel up and up. And of course, I'm a Virgo.
Starting point is 00:07:54 I don't like that. I like things to be even-steven across the board as much as possible. So Trump fans putting this out on September 16th, they said Democrats' rhetoric inspired another attempt on President Trump's life. They say here, thankfully, the would-be assassin was stopped by the heroic action of law enforcement. In this case, we believe a female Secret Service agent. That's all we know at this point. Querying on, quote, but make no mistake, this psycho was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed
Starting point is 00:08:28 from Kamala Harris, Democrats and their false news allies for years. Democrats used increasingly incendiary rhetoric against President Trump in the days, weeks and months leading up to the assassination attempts. And then they dropped the goods. Now, let's see what we got here. I think I'm going to have to get my drawing tool out. Let's use a highlighter today. So, yeah, so here's a representative, Steve Cohen, saying, Trump is an enemy of the United States. Now, that's kind of weird, because if he is, then by extension,
Starting point is 00:09:00 everybody who supports Trump is also an enemy of the United States. And if you've seen the Trump rally photos, that's a lot of people. It seems a little weird to be demonizing that many people. I mean, if he was just one guy and he's hanging out, I don't know, in a cave in Afghanistan or something saying incendiary bad stuff, I think you could make that statement. But how do you make that statement, Representative Cohen, about somebody who has a very large following of Americans? It's very divisive to say, oh, half of America is an enemy of America. Because that leaves them free to say, in reverse, that the other half must be, therefore, the enemies of America. This doesn't seem helpful. Maxine Waters saying here, are Trump supporters preparing a civil war against us? So there's that us versus them divisive language again.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Maxine Waters again ponying up here to the troughs, idling up, saying, I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that Trump is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere. I'm hearing banjo music strumming around in the background. Yeah, it's a bunch of toothless hillbillies, says Maxine. I guess that's how you interpret it. Debbie Wasserman Schultz here saying Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. Our that's the possessive our not the collective our like all of us.
Starting point is 00:10:30 We're all Americans, at least those of us who are here legally and pay taxes and contribute to building a better country. She means clearly when Debbie says this, she means an existential threat to our democracy, meaning her and her friends. That's what she means there. That's how I interpret it now, at least. Adam Schiff saying the same thing. Trump is the gravest threat to our democracy. So I think you can see where I'm going with this. There's many, many more. I'll read some more. But the point here is, is that when you have your leadership at a company at the country
Starting point is 00:11:07 level when you have your leadership the people who ostensibly are supposed to be the adults in the room setting the tone giving you their rhetorical flourish is to kind of your job in a leadership position is to lead that means you lead by example that means you set the vision you tell people what you're expecting of them and sometimes you say it crisply and sometimes you do it more as more as a mission statement. These are kind of on the mission statement side of things. And when Adam Schiff says Trump is the gravest threat to our democracy, you know, there's going to be one or two people out there. We're going to hear that the wrong way. That's the possibility. So is that what happened to Crooks? Is that what's happened to Routh?
Starting point is 00:11:48 I suggest, yeah, of course it is. It just seems completely obvious. That's how this lands. And as well, let's see. Next one down, Trump cannot be president again. He cannot be president again. He's an existential threat to democracy. Dan Goodman saying Trump remains the greatest threat to our democracy.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Jake Alkencloss, I wonder if he's related to Hugh, the right-hand man of Tony Fauci. Do not know. What unifies us as a party is knowing that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy. Okay, so you can see the talking points. He's a threat to our democracy. He's an existential threat. Those are big words, right? Obviously. And taking it further, of course, they've weaponized this idea of right wing. And let's see, Representative Annie Kustar saying Trump and his extreme right wing followers pose an existential threat to our
Starting point is 00:12:46 democracy. Yeah. So that means that everybody in the audience, I guess, is a is an existential threat. We're all anybody not we're all, you know, but anybody who's who's supporting Trump, but anybody who's not in support of these statements and i'll put myself in that category for sure publicly i'm against these sorts of statements i believe they're divisive i think they're incendiary i think that's just obvious okay now uh it carries on uh you know here he is a huge threat to our democracy, existential threat to American democracy. Trump is a threat to our democracy, says Senator. Now we're down to senators here.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Michael Bennell, right? Trump needs to be shot. What? No way. Hang on. We're going to investigate that one. Just a second. No way. Stacey Plaskill, you did not say that. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:13:59 But before we get there, first, let's see. Eric Sorensen, he is the greatest threat to law and order we have in our country. Greatest threat to law and order. Law and order. Gravest threat. I wonder what evidence Eric has for that. Very bold assertion. I like to bring evidence to my claims. Greg Landsman says the threat is not over. And then carrying on existential threat. They're still going to have to go out. Oh, Rick. The Lincoln Project. Rick Wilson says they're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Gosh, I don't know, Rick. That just doesn't seem right. I'm here to fully tell you that this is not the path. By the time you're saying stuff like this, you've completely lost the plot line. And this just leads to a very dark place and things go downhill very, very fast. And of course, it just gets worse from there. Here is former Harris Biden staffer Kate Benfield saying Democrats should turn their fire on Donald Trump. I could interpret that a couple of ways. And meanwhile, it just gets it just gets worse down here. We got to stop Trump. We got to stop Trump. But really? No way. No way, Stacey.
Starting point is 00:15:06 She did not say that. That's no, no, no. No, it can't be. Having Trump not only have had the codes, but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort with anyone and everyone who comes through should be terrifying to all Americans. And he needs to be shot. Stop. Yep. She said that Freudian slips, Freudian slips. They happen. They happen. But you can always kind of tell what they're thinking underneath that. Now, here we see that that Routh had a Biden Harris sticker on his car.
Starting point is 00:15:50 And here we can see that, you know, and Wokeness saying, holy S, they actually published this in Cincinnati dot com. A bunch of letters were written into Cincinnati dot com. And the letter's subject is Trump brings these assassination attempts on himself. Yes, they're really arguing this. And the headline, the subhead under that is when Donald Trump continues to lie about losing the 2020 election and legal immigrants in Springfield. He brings the crazies out in one of those crazies tried to shoot him.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I'm reasonably certain this is coming from the same people who would tell you that, um, that if you wear certain clothes, that doesn't mean you've decided to become a victim, that, uh, people don't choose to be victims. Uh, but here they're saying, you know, in Trump's case, he does, he does, he deserves it. And he's brought it about himself on himself now we're starting to see though they're starting to ask different questions around all of this and so let's start with this one here what does the fact that he wanted to survive say to you it says that he's not uh first he's not suicidal. He wasn't going to take his own life if he was almost being captured. Clearly, we saw that he was captured without that. And it tells me that he's probably much more politically motivated.
Starting point is 00:17:13 The last shooter in Pennsylvania, I don't want to say his name because I don't want to promote him in any way, but he was clearly a guy that was looking for the notoriety of taking that shot. I would think we're going to find that this guy is extremely politically motivated and that he probably was spurred on by much of the political diatribes that are going on these days, talking about Trump equating him to Hitler and things like that.
Starting point is 00:17:34 So I don't think this is the last we'll see of crazies out there trying to do this. I would agree. But this is an FBI, I think a behavioral analyst, I'm not positive. But at any rate, we got a guy from the FBI saying, listen, this dude was spurred on. He was spurred on by sort of this hateful rhetoric. And, you know, what he didn't say is where going down a path that, frankly, is very dark and it does not end well. So I'm really disappointed with everybody who believes that, you know, that the level of incited violence is actually appropriate. And, of course, we saw this really disgusting after the Butler shooting. There was a whole thing on twitter for a while that said sorry he missed right and again if you chase these accounts down these are people who've
Starting point is 00:18:29 been politically polarized to the point that they actively think internally that somehow this path just in this one moment for just this one guy actually makes sense to them and it does and i think they legit think that. I've tried hard to wrap my head around it, but I can't get there. Because it's very easy to understand that once you open that door, once you cross over that river, you've crossed the Rubicon River. There's really no backsies from that, and I'm worried already that maybe we are at a stage of no backsies. And next thing you know, you find yourself embroiled in something domestically that feels a lot like
Starting point is 00:19:09 every other trouble spot in the world the balkans once upon a time the middle east today where it's just never-ending conflict and by the way that's an anti-prosperous way to live i don't believe in it i am 100 anti-offensive warfare like oh yeah no this justifies it this one thing we'll just do this one thing and it makes sense just this one time hopefully the other side doesn't do it to us because that would be unacceptable that's where we're at this never ends well and of course if you had adults in the room with any wisdom this would be easy to detect we're entering into this fourth turning really fast so um too soon yeah maybe a little too soon on that one all right so this is extremely dangerous rhetoric as you know i am a free speech advocate i respect your right to say anything and if i don't like it
Starting point is 00:20:01 i'll block you i'll ignore it it doesn matter. Like if you're saying something that's completely off the rails, that has no added value to me in my life, I'm free to ignore it and vice versa. And boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence because. Yeah, there's Hillary saying, you know what, people who spread this information we don't like here in the government, maybe civilly or, you know, criminally charged. Yeah, let's weaponize the system against these people. Civilly charged, of course, civilly engaged means that your just process is the punishment. You use the process of making people have to get lawyers and defend themselves and you wield the power of the state, which prints money out of thin air and then uses all of
Starting point is 00:21:03 that free instant money to hire really killer lawyers who then come down and just ruin your life. Or, heck, let's just deprive them of their liberty because using the power of state to deprive people of their liberty is the ultimate power, right? We're going to take your life. We're going to take your freedom. Well, because what you did was just so terrible, right? This is absolutely reckless, dangerous, unacceptable, anti-American. In fact, I consider Hillary just completely just this isn't a political statement. Everything she espouses, more or less, I'm against virtually everything, right? Her position on war, geopolitics, domestic politics, how she conducts herself in public and private. I just couldn't be less interested. I would not
Starting point is 00:21:53 want her as a neighbor. I wouldn't leave my kids with her. I wouldn't want her managing my money. I don't want this woman anywhere near any of my stuff. But she speaks for a lot of people who really think that this is the right direction to go it's very dangerous very dangerous you want to see that in action i mean what the actual f the washington post actually writes we're writing here on september 17th they're writing about this guy ruth who we already surfaced easily by the 16th that this guy's a little bit deranged he's a little bit off his rocker it's very easy to find his criminal record this guy isn't exactly on the up and up not somebody you would want to write this 48 point font headline of sense of duty apparently drove suspect a sense of duty are you serious background check shows he
Starting point is 00:22:41 stood up for ukraine woman Not woman, plural, woman. I don't know which woman. I don't know what they're talking about, because I didn't bother to read the whole article. I just couldn't get past the headline and the byline here. Background check shows he stood up for Ukraine. It also shows he had two felonies. One, for a weapon of mass destruction and receiving stolen property. And also, he fleeced military veterans.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And also he was disavowed by pretty much everybody who ever came in contact with him. So that would be the other way you could write all of this up would be to talk about what kind of an absolute lowlife loser this guy actually was. But instead, the Washington Post says, you know what? Let's say it was a sense of duty that drove him. A sense of duty. Not a misguided sense of duty. Not a warped sense of duty.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Not mental illness. You could say this, you could characterize this a lot of ways. But the power of this is this headline is meant to inform you, just like with Hillary coming out and saying, you know, people who don't agree with this headline, maybe they should go to jail. This is the battle we're up against. So that's why I'm continuing to look at this whole Ruth thing,
Starting point is 00:23:51 Routh, however you pronounce it, the second Trump assassination, because it's revealing them for who they are. Now remember, when somebody shows you who they are, believe them the first time. That's from Maya Angelou. It's a great piece of advice. When somebody shows you who they are believe them the first time well washington post i pretty much know who y'all are it's oh this is ugly this is getting this trust me this is gonna get spicy and by the way i don't
Starting point is 00:24:18 think we make it through to the next inauguration whoever it is that gets inaugurated up there without things getting really spicy i just don't remember remember it's like like this is a is a let's just donald trump tried to throw away your votes when he failed he sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol where they assaulted law enforcement officers. When politicians in his own party begged him to call off. All right, we're going to have to stop that real quick because he didn't send an armed mob as far as i know zero firearms were discovered anywhere in that entire audience of people not aware of a single firearm being found maybe there was but it wasn't an armed mob if that entire 20 000 30 000 however many people there on j6 showed up with with weapons that would have been a different story. That's not what happened. So this is not even remotely what happened.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And of course, we live in a post-truth world where you don't even have to get close to the truth and you can just skip over the details and then say stuff. And if you're on the right team, you never get fact-checked. Now, if you like the truth, I do my level best to tell you exactly what I think and why, and I find the truth. And of course, I know you're busy. So I know it's very hard to keep up with everything going on in the world. So that's why I do what I do in the world. And thankfully, you know what the best part is? The Washington Post can't figure out that a big chunk of people don't really like being lied to. We're the kind of people who think, you know what, I think propaganda should be free, right? So listen, I do everything I can to wake up every day, make sense of the world,
Starting point is 00:26:12 save time so that you can check in and find out what's going on. I call it our tagline, peak prosperity. What do we do? Information you can't afford to live without. And all the information we put out there, all of it is actually actionable. Hopefully you can take concrete action off of it. So what I'm presenting today is information that if you interpret it properly, I think tells you, you better get ready for some spicy stuff going on out there. So that means you should become resilient. If you want to become resilient, we are the number one online resilience community and we just had our big in-person annual summit so we are also a physical real group of people
Starting point is 00:26:51 who get together to talk about what's really going on in the world and how we can become more resilient and that involves a lot of things it involves a sure physical resilience and financial resilience of course but also emotional resilience and financial resilience, of course, but also emotional resilience and spiritual resilience and skills and social capital. These are all things that we talk about because it's a full comprehensive universe of how we become more resilient. So if that appeals to you, just come on by peakprosperity.com slash membership today for my subscribers. we're going to be
Starting point is 00:27:25 talking about how we have to get ready for the whirlwind because of this big thing that just happened involving pagers in lebanon and that's a pretty big deal when i said things are about to get spicy i have data for that now back to our questions for the day how does a guy fly in from hawaii and get all this stuff? They left out a couple things. Apparently, he had level four body armor. Maybe he was wearing that when he ran away, so it's not in the picture. But somehow this guy flies in from Hawaii where he's been living.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And you saw a picture of his truck with a Kamala Harris, Biden Harris sticker on the back. And that was his house in Hawaii, right? I think it's on King Kamehameha highway in kawa and he he flies here and somehow where did this stuff come from so how does a guy from hawaii come in and get all this stuff and secondarily how does he afford it so we got to follow the money on this particular story excuse me remember when i showed this that you know he said he runs this website where he's going to pay 1200 usd per month to anybody who comes over to fight for ukraine right well let's do some math here's some math so 1200 a month times 12 months per year is 14 400 per year this guy's going to have to come up with for every single recruit, which means that if there are 100 recruits who come through this website,
Starting point is 00:28:48 Mr. Ruth is now on the hook for $1.44 million. Now, where does this guy get that kind of cabbage? He's a former failed roofer with one-star reviews. He's a former construction worker. In fact, yeah, I'll carry that on in just a second, but back at our website, THC0655, a retired person with a lot of law enforcement experience, says, quote,
Starting point is 00:29:17 no first or second world mercenary, obviously, goes out to combat zone for $1,400. Back in about 2004, I saw American companies recruiting firearms and police trainers for Afghanistan for $10,400. Back in about 2004, I saw American companies recruiting firearms and police trainers for Afghanistan for $10,000 a month. That 2004 little inflation, let's call it $20,000 a month now.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I can't imagine Routh got even one nibble of interest for mercenaries to go to Ukraine. It's absurd, but not so absurd that the New York Times and others would treat him as legitimate for their narrative building articles. Absolutely true. The amount of coverage this guy got, I pointed this out. He was in the yesterday Financial Times, New York Times. He's on CBS. He's on all the major news everywhere. This guy's everywhere. I'm nowhere. Nobody comes talking to
Starting point is 00:30:04 me ever from mainstream media because I'm not part of their narrative building project. I'm nowhere like I nobody comes talking to me ever from mainstream media because I'm not part of their mint narrative building project I'm part of their anti narrative project, but let's carry on follow the money just recently. He's in court He's getting charged and he said during his court appearance on Monday. Ralph said he was making $3,000 a month a month before his arrest and had zero funds and savings. Had no assets. Beyond two trucks in Hawaii. So I don't know what it costs in Hawaii, but I guess it's going to be pretty expensive. And if you're only pulling in $3,000 a month and you've got a house, you've got property taxes. You've got insurance on your trucks.
Starting point is 00:30:37 You've got to eat food. $3,000 a month. $36,000 a year. That doesn't go too far. Not in Hawaii. And so, well, it's kind of weird. Because voter records also show that Routh registered as an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina in 2012. And most recently voting in person in the state's Democratic primary in March of 2024.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Quick search. The cheapest you can get from Honolulu to Charlotte, North Carolina carolina would be 762 bucks if you were there for a week stayed for a week so how's the guy making three thousand dollars a month fly you know back for primary like i gotta go vote that's in march now we know he also flew out here on the east coast down to florida to be in position in the palm beach location take that shot with very expensive body armor, with a gun that he obviously didn't travel with. I have to guess because no serial number on the darn thing, and it's highly illegal, and he's a convicted, twice convicted felon. So not a chance he's traveling with a weapon as a twice convicted felon. It just doesn't,
Starting point is 00:31:40 maybe, maybe a small, small chance, but I'm. So he so somehow he gets the pocket cabbage to take all these flights and come over to the East Coast and buy a an illegal weapon. I don't the name because I had been in touch with Ryan Ruth for over a year in the early stages of the war in Ukraine. Like thousands of other international volunteers, he apparently went to Ukraine to help. I don't believe that he was fighting himself, but he had put up signs in his Ukraine's capital offering to help other foreigners find places in Ukrainian battalions. And that's how I initially came across him. It says April 2022. plans to bring in thousands of Afghan and Syrian fighters, which I took, frankly, with a grain of salt. In an interview with the news website Semaphore, he claimed he'd been unable to get visas for Afghan fighters. But we don't know if he was actually in touch with any Ukrainian officials. All right. So the point being, he's in Kiev in April of 2022. And we know that he was there in March of 2023, because it says here, in another CNN article, Routh 58 had no military experience, but he traveled to Ukraine around March of 2023. So we know he's there in April of 2022.
Starting point is 00:33:22 He's there a year later. Again, it's not cheap. I guess you have to fly to Krakow, Poland, maybe, because he had mentioned that on his website, that that was sort of the route in. I don't know if you could fly directly to Kiev. I couldn't find a direct pricing for that because it's not a thing, apparently.
Starting point is 00:33:38 So at any rate, at least on Travelocity, couldn't find a price for that. So point is, at $3,000 a month, this guy, Ralph, is somehow managing to gallivant all around the world. If I were involved in this investigation, I would be looking into the money. Follow the money. Because there's a story here. It is not, it's not's there's a story here. It is not it's not something's not quite right. And hey, kudos to DeSantis in Florida who said this. In my judgment, it's not
Starting point is 00:34:13 in the best interest of our state or our nation that the same federal agencies that are seeking to prosecute Donald Trump are leading this investigation, especially when the most serious, straightforward offense constitutes a violation of state law, but not federal law. So he's taken control of this. Obviously, it's a very good thing that we should be seeing that the state should be investigating this. I wish this happened in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, if you weren't being led in such a corrupt fashion, you might have also understood that this would have been in everybody's best interest if you cared about the truth and finding out what actually happened. So I'm
Starting point is 00:34:48 actually really glad. I think DeSantis is showing real, real metal here, M-E-T-T-L-E, metal, and standing up for what's right. And I, too, share the notion that the same federal agencies that are prosecuting Donald Trump in a lawfare sort of a way may not be the right ones to investigate, even if they somehow manage to keep those sentiments apart and they've conducted a really beautiful investigation. It's still going to be tainted by. The other part of their activity, so in the interest of making sure that we have transparency and we all find out what happened. I agree. I think that the investigation needs to be conducted in a way that's highly transparent and in a way that everybody can at least believe the outcome. Because right now, we're having a lot of trouble with the story that they're trying to run in the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting. The roof was too slopey. It was too hot.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Where were these people? Were they here? Were they there? Did these people talk to them? We don't know. We don't have any data. It took them over a month to even just show us a picture of the gun. On and on and on. Very much an unbelievable investigation from start to finish. Today.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Okay. So, at this point, I'm going to have to take off for part two of this. We'll be talking about this with that thing you just saw there this whole thing readying for the whirlwind honestly folks things are about to get really really spicy so I'll be taking off the rest of the conversation back to peak prosperity you're invited to join us there love to have you there until next time listen do what you can to become resilient please and i just i want you to be safe and happy and healthy and prosperous and that's going to get to be increasingly
