Chapter 1: What happened during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting?

9.532 - 29.924 Ron Simmons

Hello, hello. This is our weekend edition of Relatable, which, as you remember, I'm doing a couple times a month. Thank you, Allie, for allowing me to do this. It's always a good time, and we have interesting subjects. We've got a great show today, I'll tell you. In fact, we've got a special guest later in the show you're not going to want to miss. I promise you it's going to be awesome.

29.944 - 58.176 Ron Simmons

So hang with us. Through all of this, it's going to be really, really good. Now, first of all, when this comes out, we'll have had a few more days after the biggest what really is the biggest news event of the last week. And that is the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting. You all remember that this past Saturday night there was a shooting at the Washington, D.C.

58.276 - 78.19 Ron Simmons

Hilton, which is kind of spooky because that's also where President Reagan was shot, actually just outside of that while he was exiting Washington. the building in 1981. And they had the White House Correspondents Dinner, which is a dinner they have every year, I think, just kind of celebrating. They call it celebrating the First Amendment.

78.21 - 94.095 Ron Simmons

But all the White House correspondents from all the media outlets are there. And a lot of political figures are there as well. Obviously, the president was there this time. I don't think he went last time. But he was there this time and his wife and a lot of the cabinet secretaries and a lot of members of Congress were there.

94.215 - 98.924 Ron Simmons

So it was like twenty five hundred people in this essentially basement ballroom.

Chapter 2: How did Jimmy Kimmel's joke about Melania Trump contribute to the conversation?

99.745 - 115.892 Ron Simmons

And as you as was reported, there was a gentleman or not. Actually, gentlemen's not the right way to even say that. There was a scumbag who charged the security area. Now it was in a different level above where the ballroom was.

Chapter 3: Why is Hasan Piker's platforming by the New York Times controversial?

115.932 - 137.818 Ron Simmons

So he hadn't gotten to the ballroom, but charged that area and then started shooting and actually shot a Secret Service agent. Luckily it hit their bulletproof vest and they're okay. And then he was tackled by Secret Service and now he's in custody. He actually was arraigned this past week in a hearing.

137.798 - 152.278 Ron Simmons

and is going to be charged with attempted assassination of the president, which carries a life sentence. And you can see on this video that's coming up about the chaos that was going on. You can imagine.

Chapter 4: What insights can be shared about raising a child with autism?

152.318 - 169.866 Ron Simmons

In fact, I was listening to Bill O'Reilly yesterday and he was talking about he was standing towards the back of the room. He and his son were there and he could hear the shots. But you can see the chaos that's going on and the Secret Service as they come in to protect the president and the other people, what they call protectees that they're protecting.

169.926 - 194.025 Ron Simmons

The Speaker of the House was there as well. So it was mayhem. And if you don't know what's going on, chaos is what happens when things like that occur. And, you know, the president got back to the White House safely about 10 o'clock. of Eastern Time. And of course, they canceled the event, although we'll see in just a couple of minutes that President Trump has called for that being rescheduled.

194.045 - 212.068 Ron Simmons

It was the third attempt on President Trump's life. I don't know how many attempts on lives that there have been for presidents in the past. I know that President Ford had a couple attempts on his life, and I'm sure there's a whole lot more that we don't even know about. But to have three attempts on this president's life is

212.048 - 236.956 Ron Simmons

pretty amazing and um it's amazing how he responds to it as well i'm always impressed on his uh his his response to that um so uh there's a couple of other things that went on is that as you saw some of this we have a we have a uh full screen that shows a picture of one of the uh president's closest aide, Stephen Miller. And you can see he's protecting his wife along.

236.996 - 258.485 Ron Simmons

He's probably got protective people there. And then behind him to the left, if you're watching this, is Hegseth. And he's standing over his wife as well. And you can see they're facing the stage and the back of where the shooter would come in if he could have gotten through would have been behind them. So they're definitely putting themselves in harm's way. And that's the type of people they are.

258.506 - 260.348 Ron Simmons

I hope every husband would do that.

Chapter 5: What resources are available for parents of children with autism?

260.328 - 287.072 Ron Simmons

I hope that you wouldn't pull a Doug and Carrie on the show of King and Queens, which if you're not a King and Queens follower, you won't get that joke. But it's a pretty funny episode if you find it. Here's a little bit more information about the suspect. He was a teacher from Torrance, California. And so he wasn't just some drifter or some unemployed homeless person or anything like that.

287.172 - 304.943 Ron Simmons

Now, he had been radicalized. There's no question about that. But he planned this out very well. If you've read any of his manifesto and some of the other things he's written on social media, this was not something that just he thought about doing overnight. In fact, he took a train from. From L.A.

305.905 - 330.605 Ron Simmons

to Chicago and on to New York in order to be able to not go through this levels of security that he would have had to go through had he taken a plane. He checked into the hotel the night on Friday night before. And that hotel has about three. You can put about 3000 people in that hotel. So that's. I'm not sure having an event like that at a hotel that's so public is the right thing to do.

330.645 - 349.752 Ron Simmons

I'm sure they'll reassess this. Of course, one of the things to do is get the ballroom finished so that they can have that totally secure and be able to protect all of the people that are in attendance at these types of events. He had a manifesto. Here's a few things that were on the manifesto. His intent was,

349.732 - 369.615 Ron Simmons

was to take down administrative officials, for some reason, not the FBI director, Mr. Patel. I'm not exactly sure why that is. And he wanted to prioritize it from the highest to the lowest. So the highest ranking administrative official is who? The president of the United States. Obviously, he would have liked to have killed the president.

369.635 - 388.659 Ron Simmons

And then all the way down to whatever the lowest official was that was there as far as the hierarchy is concerned. He also was anti-Christian. He had a whole bunch of anti-Christian posts in his past. And he talks about turning the other cheek and what have you.

388.679 - 403.077 Ron Simmons

Well, you don't turn the other... If somebody is trying to commit violence on your friend or your family, you're not supposed to turn the other cheek and let them do that. You're supposed to be a protector. And that's what we're called upon to do. So again, it's just...

403.057 - 428.423 Ron Simmons

It's always, these people always take little pieces of biblical information and turn it around because they're being controlled by Satan. That's what Satan does. If you've read any of C.S. Lewis's stuff, especially Screwtape Letters, you'll see how Satan turns around. Or you see how Satan even did that in the Bible when Jesus went 40 days into the wilderness and how Satan used

428.403 - 459.708 Ron Simmons

Little tidbits of what was biblical truth of the past to tempt Jesus. And, of course, it was just half truth, not all truth. And that's what happens in these situations as well. The hotel security, we have discovered the perimeter was probably not as broad as it should have been. I remember I used to do – I did some – ministry work for an organization.
