Chapter 1: What damning admissions did Trump make about the shooting?
A number of very damning and peculiar admissions are surfacing from the Trump regime about the alleged shooting at the White House Correspondents 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. It should also be noted that there was no designated survivor in the room where the White House Correspondents' 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 J.D.
Vance first instead of Donald Trump. I think most significantly, the Trump regime and all of its sycophants have made this instantly about Donald Trump's golden ballroom. and in unison.
Chapter 2: Who was the alleged shooter and what is known about him?
Now it's like 50 to 60 of the top MAGA 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 MAGA 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 this golden ballroom because of this uh incident uh there's a lot of other red flags that i want to go through with you one by one but like let's not forget that donald trump's approval heading into this white house correspondence dinner was the lowest in presidential history right his approval was
33 based on the latest ap nor poll on the economy it was 30 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 iraqi 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 Correspondents' Dinner to spread lies to the American people and manipulate the markets on Friday that this meeting was gonna take place. When the Iranian foreign minister left, Trump regime had to come up with their next lie.
And they said, oh, well, you know, the Iranians 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 we're heading into this White House Correspondents Dinner. And then, you know, the alleged incident takes place. And 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.

Chapter 3: Why was there no designated survivor at the White House Correspondents' Dinner?
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 sycophantic 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 Blanche, J.D. Vance,
They think this is the funniest thing ever. Here is Hegseth laughing. Alina Haba 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, MAGA Republican 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 ICE, CBP, Save America, transgender and abortion funding, Recon 3 and more.
In other words, now they're not just gonna use the shooting, the purported shooting, in order to try to build a golden ballroom, but they're also going to use it to attack the transgender communities and marginalized communities and try to prevent people from voting in a safe way now. I mean, that's where they're going with all of this. Then Donald Trump posts the following.
What happened, this is what Trump posted this morning, 5.46 a.m. 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.

Chapter 4: How did Trump and his supporters react to the shooting incident?
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 rooms sitting on top for unsecured 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 Correspondents 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 Correspondents' 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?
Here, 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 mind?
Just talking about some of the fact that he, you know, is terrible for this country and so on and so forth. I understand that that's your Democratic right. But overall...

Chapter 5: What was Trump's approval rating leading up to the dinner?
And I certainly have never called the press the enemy of the people. I think the press are 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 gonna get an argument from me on that.
Before I let you go- No, and then on Meet the Press, you had Donald Trump's acting attorney general, Todd Blanch. When he was asked, 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 Blanch 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 gonna stop living. We're not gonna start doing our jobs. We're not gonna stop all the work that we're doing every day. And by the way, and 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 gonna 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, as President Trump said last night, we are not gonna stop living. We're not gonna stop being out there with the American people.

Chapter 6: How did the media respond to Trump's narrative after the shooting?
And 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 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 correspondence association dinner was i don't think people
hearing about this or even thus the room realized how far away from the president and people in the room this incident was, 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 Correspondents 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 Elite Jet Propulsion Laboratory, computer scientist with advanced master's degree. At Caltech, he built offensive and defensive robotic systems, physics-based simulations. He graduated in 2017. This is what Asra Namani 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 brake. The wheelchair brakes tend to lock the wheels, but don't actually lock the chair to the ground. The idea with this is to prevent it from moving at all. 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 seniors.
And I'll also show you how CNN's trying to frame this. This is how Brian Stelter is trying to frame this, that Donald Trump just called for unity. This was all about unity, everybody. Here, let's play this clip right here.
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 taking 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 NBC.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the shooting for Trump's policies?
It's caused devastation for 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 to end, even 54% 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 Witkoff 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 gonna be a major meeting in Pakistan. Here, play this clip.
Yesterday you said to Reuters that we're dealing with who is in charge now.
What changed from yesterday to today? Nothing. It's just that they gave us a paper that- Should have been better. And interestingly, immediately when I canceled it, within 10 minutes, we got a new paper that was much better. We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon. Very simple. Look, that whole deal is not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Very simple.
While all of this is going on, what we should be focused on, what 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 it 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, as Javier Blais 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.
This is a tanker from the United States. Compared to the large tankers coming from the Middle East, it is a little smaller and thinner ship.
