Welcome one and all to the Don Lemon Show. This is Live at Five where you, the subscriber, the viewer, you get to weigh in because we're live and we're going to go to the chat and talk to some folks. So how about this quote for you? Comrade Kamala Harris motivated the man that attempted to assassinate the former President Donald Trump over the weekend That deranged accusation was posted just a few hours ago by the former president. We're going to get into all that. Meanwhile, the Republican Party continues to push their racist conspiracy theory that Haitians are kidnapping cats and dogs and geese and duck. And in Springfield, Ohio, despite the fact that dozens of bomb threats have effectively put out on the lockdown, they are still continuing.
And buildings are on lockdown. The city has basically shut down. They're still saying that there's a, you know, all this is going on with no evidence. Even the governor, Republican Governor Mike DeWine saying not happening. the mayor, the town manager, nothing. Okay, so let's discuss all of this. Brilliant guys, brilliant guests here. Rick Wilson is always good to see, the renowned political strategist, 30-year veteran of Republican politics and the co-founder of the Lincoln Project. And Whitney Tilson is a longtime Democratic Party donor and philanthropist. He is on the advisory board of Pershing Square and is the editor of Stansberry Research. Is it okay to say where you are, Whitney? I would rather you not say the city for security reasons, but I'm in Ukraine.
You're in Ukraine. OK, good. And because there's a Ukrainian or Ukraine connection to the shooter, we'll discuss that. OK, gentlemen, thank you so much. How are you both doing? Good, John, how are you? Great to be with you. I'm doing okay, but there's so much craziness going on. We're going to talk about the Trump assassination attempt. I mean, he didn't get a shot off, but who knows where it would have gone to if the Secret Service did not do their job. I think the story is the Secret Service did their job, and then we should continue on discussing what the former president and his running mate are doing because i think it's dangerous for the country these things happen it's awful that this happened uh with donald trump it's awful that the threat levels are so high with both candidates and that our presidents and our former presidents get assassination attempts that is awful however
The Secret Service did their jobs, which is what they're supposed to do. We're talking about Trump's racist Haitian conspiracy theory and J.D. Vance basically saying that he made it up and how Harris wins, how Harris wins. And then also, as we're talking about this racist conspiracy theory, you guys at home. Wait till you hear this soundbite. They said he said the quiet part out loud in word hard are. That's all I got to say. We're going to play it for you here on the Don Lemon Show. OK, so you guys know what happened over the weekend. A guy down at Trump's golf course in Florida, West Palm Beach. Trump is out golfing. Secret Service, they see, you know, a gun, the barrel of something, an AK-47 type gun or AK style gun, I should say.
sticking through the shrubbery of the course, about 400 yards away. Trump, luckily, was a couple of holes back. They chased the guy. He gets away. Someone gets a picture of his license plate. They track him down. The person they track down is detained. His name is Ryan Wesley Ruth. And according to three law enforcement sources, Ruth, who owns a small construction company in Hawaii... voted, according to Ruth himself, on social media. Rick, correct me if I'm wrong. He voted for Donald Trump. Then he criticized him on social media, saying that he was wrong. He was the wrong person. He did not learn his lessons. And then it turns out he's a staunch supporter of Ukraine, which we want to talk to Whitney about.
He's also a proponent of Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy. Right. And the GOP primary. So what do you think? First to you, Mr. Rick Wilson. You know, Don, look, this guy is – there's a similarity to this guy and the Pennsylvania shooter.
