The Stack: Third Trump Assassination Attempt Sparks Questions About Media Rhetoric and Rising Political Hatred
A reported attempted attack near the White House Correspondents Dinner has triggered renewed concerns about political violence and national security in the United States. According to early reporting discussed in this episode, the suspect allegedly traveled across the country and was found with multiple weapons, prompting an evacuation and immediate federal investigation.
Authorities are reviewing claims that the suspect left behind a manifesto expressing political motivations and hostility toward President Donald J. Trump and administration officials. While details remain preliminary, officials have indicated the incident may have been targeted and politically motivated.
The episode also explores how media rhetoric, ideological polarization, and repeated framing of political figures may contribute to escalating tensions. The discussion raises questions about security at high-profile public events, the role of media narratives in shaping public perception, and the broader cultural divide fueling extremism in America today.
This remains a developing story with significant implications for politics, security, and public discourse.

The Todd Huff Show – April 27, 2026
Host: Todd Huff
Todd Huff: So now we have the third attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump. Of course it's predictable. We know who these people are. We know the amount of, well the amount of evil that has been stirred up in their hearts. We know the amount of hatred and rage that has been fueled by the radical left. In fact we have 20 minutes before the shooting, a journalist at CNN actually saying that Trump was trying to kill — figuratively of course — journalism, which we'll get into all of this. But that's what happened here over the weekend and we're going to talk about it today. I hope you had a great weekend. If you have thoughts and opinions of things you want to share with this program with me directly, the best way to do that is to text 317-785-1030. That will go to me. It will also be the way that you can sign up to get all of the background information, the links, additional content that we create sent to your email each day by simply texting the word truth to that same number, 317-785-1030. So that my friends is where we are headed today. So a lot to get through. A whole lot to get through as you might imagine.
Todd Huff: You know that one of the biggest challenges we have as conservatives is finding ways to ensure our values align with the way that we live our lives, the things that we do. That includes how we invest our money. 4:8 Financial specializes in something they call biblically responsible investing. That basically means they screen out companies that do not align with your faith and your values. That helps prevent you from funding things that go completely against your beliefs, biblical teachings. They do the heavy lifting. All you have to do is complete a quick and easy assessment and they'll help align your investments with your purpose and goals. So if you want to find out how your current investments align with your values and your beliefs, head on over and take that quick and easy assessment at 48financial.com/todd. Again that's 48financial.com/todd because your money should work for your values and certainly not against them.
Todd Huff: So alright, this is the direction we're headed today my friends. Let us proceed in that direction. Sorry I had to put some papers up behind me here. So let's get started. On Saturday they were having the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. In fact we were on the way home from soccer matches — our two oldest play soccer — and we were on our way home, my son was in the back seat on his phone and he said, “Was Trump having a dinner tonight? Because it sounds like there were shots fired.” And that's of course the beginning of how these stories break. Trump was attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. It's an annual event hosted by the White House Correspondents’ Association. This includes journalists — or make-believe journalists more accurately — politicians, public figures, and it's the press celebrating the First Amendment, having a little bit of fun along the way. Speeches are given, political humor, awards handed out, and it's supposedly a high-profile event. It is high profile, but it's also high security as most things are when the President of the United States is involved.
Todd Huff: This happened at the Washington Hilton on Saturday. A suspect by the name of Cole Thomas Allen had traveled across the country according to reports, which again I have a whole bunch of stuff in the stack of stuff which goes out in our Inner Circle email. But he traveled across the country and he was allegedly armed with a shotgun, handguns — I think that was plural — could be a handgun, a couple of firearms, and some knives. And he was targeting, of course we've since learned and we knew this initially anyway, the starting assumption is that Trump was targeted again. So I want to pause as I'm doing this right now and actually reference an article here from The Epoch Times. Again there's information everywhere and we're still at the point where we're learning. This is still developing. We're getting information, details, and so forth.
Todd Huff: You know those initial details in the immediate aftermath of an event can be a little sketchy. They can be a little hard to get accurate sometimes. Sometimes things are half true. Sometimes when you develop more context to the story, the initial things that were reported turn out to have a different meaning than what we thought they did initially. So there's all this stuff going on. We're still trying to sift through this. Some of these things are subject to change or develop over the course of time. That said, this article at The Epoch Times says five things we need to know. The suspect allegedly wrote a manifesto that was sent to family members, a White House official said.
Todd Huff: So that is — and why is it not letting — it's making me log in to The Epoch Times, which is fine, but why won't you take my login credentials? What is going on here? But there are five things about this story that — I guess I have to read it off my phone. That's alright. That's what we're going to have to do. Alright so what I've got pulled up here anyway, here we go. It says this: The suspect who was arrested following a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that President Donald Trump and other administration officials were attending was identified by a senior administration official as a California man who allegedly wrote a manifesto. A White House official confirmed Sunday that the suspect had been identified as Cole Allen of Torrance, California — the People’s Republic of California.
Todd Huff: The official also said Allen allegedly wrote a manifesto indicating he was targeting Trump administration officials. Allen was taken into custody Saturday evening after the shooting at the dinner, which prompted an evacuation of the event. If you were watching the night of the event, which I turned on once we got home from the soccer matches, the initial reports were that this thing was still going on because I had tuned into CNN. Again, I want you to know when I do that I fully expect them to say something ridiculous or stupid or downright offensive to reasonable human beings. But I tuned in and I was listening. Ironically I believe they had Andrew McCabe, the disgraced FBI official, as their expert there. And he kept saying they shouldn't have this, what are they doing, there's no law enforcement official in the world that is going to be okay with them having this event. This event has been compromised. They should not be having this.
Todd Huff: Eventually that's what ended up happening, but there was a period of time where it appeared — or at least it was reported — that the event was going to resume as planned. That did not end up happening. Allen was taken into custody Saturday evening after the shooting prompted an evacuation. A Secret Service agent was shot in the chest but was wearing a bulletproof vest, Trump said at a quickly organized press conference Saturday night following the incident. Neither Trump nor any administration officials were harmed. I also read — and have this in the stack of stuff as well — that the Secret Service agent who was shot is in good condition and expected to be fine.
Todd Huff: So here are the five things according to The Epoch Times that we need to be aware of. Number one, the suspect wrote a manifesto. According to the White House, the official said Allen allegedly wrote a manifesto containing his political views. A family member told law enforcement officials that Allen sent the manifesto minutes before the incident. Trump commented on the alleged manifesto in an interview with Fox News Sunday morning saying that it had anti-Christian viewpoints. When you read his manifesto he hates Christians, Trump said. He hates Christians, a hatred, and I think his sister or brother actually was complaining about it. They were even complaining to law enforcement. He was a very troubled guy.
Todd Huff: Officials said Montgomery County police interviewed Allen’s sister, who said her brother often made radical statements and wanted to do something — air quotes — to fix problems with the world. Allen had also displayed anti-Christian and anti-Trump viewpoints on social media. Allen’s brother had notified law enforcement in New London, Connecticut about the alleged manifesto. So a lot to unpack there. And I'll do that, I guess we can do this in steps. But it's interesting to me. I listen to so-called progressive Christians. I listen to Christians who dislike Trump — and listen, you can be a Christian who dislikes Trump. That's fine. Although I don't think there's such a thing as a progressive Christian.
Todd Huff: A progressive Christian is someone who wants to proclaim they believe in biblical teachings while getting rid of all the things their political ideology doesn't agree with. That's an oxymoron candidly if you ask me. You don't have to like Trump politically and be a Christian. I'm very open about this. I don't understand why you don't, especially politically, but maybe you don't like his style. Maybe you don't like posts on Truth Social or X. Maybe you don't like aggressive comments about Iran. I think there's a lot more going on there. He's trying to prevent the truly unthinkable from happening — madmen in Iran getting nuclear weapons. But you don't have to like Trump and be a Christian.
Todd Huff: I actually attended an event years ago where different groups of Christians gathered during the Black Lives Matter debates. Some Christians supported it, others said all lives matter. One person stood up and said you can't be a Christian and vote for Trump. That's wild to me. There's no basis for someone to say that. You can question lifestyle choices, tone, personality — fine — but look at policies, look at outcomes. Things like reducing abortion, defending religious liberty. I'm not saying Trump is a high priest or worthy of worship. That's not what I'm saying at all. But I do think there's a major problem when Christians openly celebrate abortion or align with things fundamentally opposed to biblical teaching.
Todd Huff: And I find it curious that so many people who hate Trump have such a strong anti-Christian bias. They believe they must do something to fix the problems of the world. It's fascinating when you look at political worldviews and media consumption. If you stay inside radical left news cycles, there's no way to remain spiritually or emotionally healthy. There's constant hatred, anti-Christian bigotry, hatred toward Donald Trump, hatred to the point people think they are doing something good by trying to assassinate him. That's unbelievable to me. When a politician has been demonized for a decade the way Trump has, it’s no wonder some people believe violence is justified.
Todd Huff: I don't think this is merely a mental health crisis. This is a spiritual health crisis in America. I'm not saying mental illness doesn't exist. But the vast majority of these acts of evil stem from spiritual problems. People don't know the God of the universe. They hate the God of the universe. And they hate His followers. Every group has individuals capable of evil — Christians, Muslims, atheists, Jews, agnostics — anyone. But when an ideology encourages hatred, that's when society faces a much deeper problem. You move from individuals making bad choices to an environment encouraging those choices. And that, my friends, is where we find ourselves today.
Todd Huff: I've reached the end of the first segment here and I'm out of time. I've got to take a quick timeout. You're listening here to the home of conservative, not bitter talk. I'm your host, the one and only Todd Huff. We will continue this conversation, my friends, after the break. Sit tight. Back here in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. Going through again what happened here over the weekend with this shooting. Friends, these folks have been stirred up. I'm not saying they don't already have problems. I'm not saying they're not already haters of God and haters of what is good because they are, at least from what we can tell. Yes, occasionally people have mental health problems, but this is evil. I don't care what label people want to put on it. This is a spiritual problem that we have in this country today.
Todd Huff: You know how many problems would be solved if people turned to Jesus? And I don't mean that flippantly. I don't mean it as some throwaway religious line. I mean the transforming power of the God of the universe when we submit to Him. The Bible tells us He makes us a new creature. He sends His Spirit. We're sealed with His Spirit. That begins the process of sanctification. We're justified by faith, not by works, but He begins the process of making us more like Him if we submit to His authority, if we submit to His lordship. The amount of things that could change overnight would be incredible. I'm not saying we should change for political purposes. I'm saying that transformation changes how people treat one another, how they view truth, how they handle anger, resentment, hatred, and evil impulses.
Todd Huff: That's option A. Option B is what we see playing out around us. People who hate truth. They hate the things said on this program. They hate me as a result of that. They hate, first and foremost, the God of this universe. The God of this universe exists. He has expectations. He created us. We've all fallen short. We've done things we shouldn't have done. We've failed to do things we should have done. The Bible calls this sin — missing the mark. But instead of saying, “I messed up,” instead of seeking reconciliation with the Creator, instead of pursuing redemption and forgiveness, people choose the other path. They choose anger. They choose resentment. They choose hatred toward truth itself.
Todd Huff: And when people reject truth, they begin to hate those who proclaim it. They hate those who speak about God. They hate those who defend moral standards. And a huge void forms in their lives. That void creates instability. It creates anger. And they begin believing they are justified in taking extreme steps — radical steps — to inflict harm on others. They convince themselves they're doing something noble. How distorted must your worldview be to reach that conclusion? Again, not merely mental illness in my estimation, but spiritual depravity. That's what we are dealing with. It is absolutely disgusting to watch unfold.
Todd Huff: Now I want to go back to the article here because I've only gone through one of the five points mentioned by The Epoch Times about this alleged shooter. The second point they highlight is that he attended a “No Kings” protest. Shocking, I know. Other details were provided about Allen by a White House official, including that Allen was part of a group called the Wide Awakes. Yes, he's woke. He attended at least one No Kings protest in California. Now historically, the Wide Awakes originated as an anti-slavery political organization supporting Abraham Lincoln during the 1860 presidential election. But the modern group bearing that name has absolutely nothing in common with that original movement.
Todd Huff: The No Kings demonstrations are a series of anti-Trump protests held across multiple cities in 2025 and 2026. One demonstration held in March opposed the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies. According to officials, Allen purchased two handguns and a shotgun through an online firearms portal and kept the firearms at a parent's home. His parents were reportedly unaware the weapons were there. Now again, we’re still early in this investigation. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday morning that the investigation is ongoing and quite preliminary. Allen, according to officials, is not cooperating with law enforcement. Investigators are reviewing writings and interviewing people who knew him.
Todd Huff: Blanche said they believe administration officials were targeted, obviously including President Donald J. Trump as head of the administration. But as far as exact threats communicated beforehand, investigators are still piecing together evidence. That’s important to remember. Early reports often evolve as more information becomes available. But what stands out already is the pattern — ideological motivation combined with deep hostility toward Trump and Christianity. And I cannot ignore how rhetoric contributes to this environment.
Todd Huff: Think back to comments made during Trump’s first administration. Remember when Maxine Waters encouraged people to confront administration officials wherever they were — restaurants, grocery stores, public spaces — telling activists to get in their faces and create discomfort? That rhetoric matters. Words matter. Messaging matters. When political opponents are portrayed as existential threats, when they are demonized day after day, year after year, eventually someone unstable believes violence is justified.
Todd Huff: This reminds me of Jeremiah Wright’s famous phrase that “America’s chickens have come home to roost.” When you cultivate a climate of fear and hatred, you should not be shocked when someone acts on it. The radical left media ecosystem has spent nearly a decade portraying Donald Trump not merely as a political opponent but as a literal danger to humanity. That messaging seeps into the minds of viewers. It shapes perception. It alters reality. Some individuals internalize that message so deeply that they believe assassination is an act of heroism.
Todd Huff: And that is precisely why we must confront the role media narratives play. I'm talking about networks that manufacture outrage, construct narratives designed to undermine trust, and continually escalate emotional intensity. They cultivate fear. They cultivate resentment. They cultivate rage. When people consume that diet daily, it changes how they think. It changes how they view neighbors, fellow citizens, even family members who disagree politically.
Todd Huff: Again, we’re just scratching the surface of this story. There are still developments coming. This is going to be something we discuss for days, maybe weeks. But right now I'm trying to give you the foundational understanding — what happened, what we know, and why it matters. Because this isn't just about one individual. It's about a broader cultural and spiritual crisis unfolding in real time. And I believe Americans sense that something deeper is wrong.

Todd Huff: Alright, back to the story. I've covered the second point from The Epoch Times article. The third point notes that the investigation remains preliminary. Law enforcement continues gathering evidence, analyzing communications, and interviewing associates. Officials emphasize that motives are still being confirmed, but the early indicators align with ideological hostility toward the Trump administration. Again, this mirrors patterns we’ve seen before. Political radicalization rarely happens overnight. It builds over time through messaging, reinforcement, and isolation within ideological bubbles.
Todd Huff: Friends, we're living through a moment where disagreement is no longer tolerated. Political opponents are not merely wrong — they are portrayed as evil. That shift fundamentally changes how societies function. When disagreement becomes moral condemnation, when debate becomes demonization, violence becomes easier to rationalize. That is the danger we face today. And until we confront that reality honestly, these incidents will continue.
Todd Huff: Welcome back, my friends. Third and final segment of the program today. We are talking about this attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump.

Todd Huff: Okay, in the time we have available here today, again this is something that is going to be talked about for quite some time. I've been going through The Epoch Times article outlining five things we need to know about this alleged shooter. We've covered the manifesto. We've talked about his participation in these so-called No Kings protests. We've discussed the preliminary nature of the investigation. Now the fourth point highlighted is that the Trump administration was likely the target. Of course we knew that from the outset, but investigators are now confirming that early evidence strongly suggests the suspect intended to target President Trump and administration officials specifically.
Todd Huff: According to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, investigators believe the alleged shooter’s motivations were political and ideological. Again, I want to emphasize something here. This is not happening in a vacuum. This is the culmination of years — nearly a decade — of rhetoric portraying Donald Trump as an existential threat to democracy, to humanity, to civilization itself. When you repeat that message day after day, hour after hour, eventually someone unstable decides they must act. They convince themselves they are saving the country. They believe they are heroes. And that is precisely the danger of irresponsible political rhetoric.
Todd Huff: Friends, disagreement is part of a healthy republic. Debate is necessary. Strong opinions are expected. But when political opponents are demonized to the point they are viewed as evil incarnate, society crosses a dangerous threshold. We are no longer debating ideas. We are delegitimizing human beings. And once that happens, violence becomes easier to rationalize. That is what I believe we are witnessing today. This individual allegedly believed he was fixing problems with the world. Those were reportedly his own words. Think about that mindset. Think about how someone arrives at that conclusion.
Todd Huff: They don't wake up one morning suddenly deciding to carry out an attack. This develops over time. It develops through constant reinforcement from media narratives, social media echo chambers, activist communities, and ideological messaging that portrays opponents as monsters. The radical left media ecosystem has spent years telling audiences that Donald Trump represents tyranny, fascism, and danger. Words like dictator, Nazi, authoritarian — these are not casual political critiques. These are labels designed to provoke fear and emotional urgency. And when fear dominates reason, dangerous things happen.
Todd Huff: The fifth point from the article — and again this story is still developing — involves investigators continuing to analyze digital evidence, communications, and online activity connected to the suspect. Authorities are combing through social media posts, personal writings, and contacts to better understand intent and planning. Law enforcement officials stress that more information will emerge in the coming days. But already we see familiar patterns: ideological radicalization, anti-Christian sentiment, anti-Trump hostility, and an individual convinced violence was justified.
Todd Huff: I want to pause here and make something very clear. Every group has flawed individuals. Every ideology has people capable of wrongdoing. But there is a difference between isolated individuals committing evil acts and an ideological environment that encourages hatred. When an ideology consistently portrays political opponents as threats to existence itself, it increases the likelihood that someone will act violently. That distinction matters. Because accountability is not only individual; it is cultural. It is rhetorical. It is spiritual.
Todd Huff: I've said for years that America is facing a spiritual crisis. Not merely political division. Not merely cultural disagreement. A spiritual crisis. We have abandoned objective truth. We have rejected moral foundations. We have elevated feelings above reality. And when people detach themselves from truth, they begin constructing alternate moral systems where extreme actions appear justified. That's not speculation. That's history. Every society that abandons truth eventually struggles with instability and conflict.
Todd Huff: I don't understand why you don't especially again politically or his style I okay, I understand you don't like that you don't like some of the posts on truth social or X youh don't like some of his aggressive comments when it comes to wiping out a civilization in Iran again I think there's a lot more going on there we went through that. He's trying to prevent the truly unthinkable from happening that is a madman or mad men in the Islamic Republic of Iran getting nuclear nuclear weapons and so. I just it's fine though you don't have to like Trump and be a Christian. I actually attended an event years ago. Where we had we had. Different. Groups of Christians some who this was this was about black lives matter there were Christians who were. In favor of black lives matter there were Christians who were saying this is not. All people matter all lives matter all which of course you're not supposed to say for some reason but anyway there was an event at a church that. These folks were on stage and listen I'm an I'm an understanding. Guy but I just didn't see it this way at all but I welcome the discourse I did welcome the the community discourse that was happening.
Todd Huff: But one of the people stood up and said you can't be a Christian and vote for Trump which is wild to me but that's what they said. And I don't think there's any basis for someone to say that again you can question his lifestyle, his choices his use of words okay fine but if you look at the ideas if you look at the things that he is actually stood up for the things that he has helped bring an end to or at least decrease dramatically such as abortion such as. I got a visitor here in the studio unexpectedly here but all these all these things that are consistent with with biblical teachings that that Trump. Has done I'm not saying he's. Like the high priest I'm not saying certainly not saying he's. Worthy of worship as some people on the left say that people like me say that's not simply not what I'm saying at all. And I'm not even saying you have to agree politically with the things that I'm saying I do think that there's a major problem in your life if you. Are pro-choice number one and number two if you don't celebrate when abortion mills are. Impacted negative negatively from their perspective why they're being closed down in some cases or you know these there's abortion restrictions in states I don't.
Todd Huff: Or even abortion prohibitions in states I think we should sell I don't have any idea how a Christian can be on the side of abortion it's just it's a wild wild stuff to me but anyway. I'm not saying that you have to be a Christian. And or excuse me you have to like Trump if you're a Christian I do find it curious that all these people who hate Trump have such a strong anti-Christian bias though. And how they believe that they have to in the words of this lunatic he had to do something he has to do something to. Fix the problems with the world. And it's just it's so interesting to me. When you think about these these political worldviews when you think about. When you think about the consumption of news and how the radical left. If you if you stay in the circles of the radical left there's no way there is no way that you can be. A healthy person if you live in the news cycle that's being pushed through or pushed down the throats of the people that are in the extreme godless radical left there's no wonder that there is an incredible amount of hatred anti-Christian bigotry hatred for Donald Trump and hatred to the point to where they believe that they are doing something good.
Todd Huff: By trying to take him out by trying to assassinate him it is absolutely unbelievable. To me and this is the level when for a decade now when you have a president have a politician who has been demonized and who has been attacked as much as Donald Trump has it is no wonder these folks want. To kill him or harm him and think they're doing something good they are not it is a lie straight from the pits of hell that is being perpetrated on the American people. On the listen I don't think this is I'm not a guy who says mental health this is a spiritual health crisis in America I'm not saying there's no mental health problems but I am telling you that the vast majority of the problems that we see that these lunatics or this abject evil. The people who have tried to commit these acts of heinous evil you'll find at their core spiritual. Spiritual. Health problems. Namely they don't know the god of the universe and namely they have been. Well they hate the god of the universe and they hate his followers as we've. Found out here. From this manifesto. And I've said before and I think I'm remarkably fair on this there are people in any group.
Todd Huff: In any group of people you'll find an example of someone who is prepared to do something really bad. They've done something really bad. It's it's right there. I mean it's it's it's it's obvious right? And it happens in any group of people. But here's the difference. First of all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God nobody is perfect we all have a propensity to sin and we all have the capacity for incredible amounts of evil because of the freedom that God has given us and then we use that to make choices that are contrary. To the choices he would have us to make. And we have the propensity for an incredible amounts of evil so all of a sudden in every group whether Christian Muslim Atheist Jewish whatever right agnostic doesn't matter there's people that are doing terrible things. In any group of people but where you get into the problem a deeper problem is when an ideology when a group is formed around the ideology and when that ideology preaches and teaches extreme hatred now you've got a much much bigger problem and you can no longer say it's just individuals who are making choices bad choices with the freedoms they've been given to inflict evil upon other people trying to infringe upon their life liberty property pursuit of happiness you move from that.
Todd Huff: Yout move from people just exercising bad individual choices from being encouraged to make such choices. And that my friends. Is where we find ourselves with the anti-Christian anti-Trump hatred and bigotry that's going around out there today. So. I've reached the end of this the first segment I'm out of time I've got to take a quick time out you're listening here to the home of conservative not bitter talk I'm your host the one and only Todd Huff will continue this conversation my friends after the break sit tight back here in just a minute. Welcome back my friends going through again what happened here over the weekend with this shooting again. It's. Friends this is. These folks have been stirred up I'm not saying that they don't already have problems I'm not saying that they're not already haters of God and haters of what is good because they are at least from what we can tell. Yes there might be occasionally people who have mental health problems this is evil I don't listen I don't care this is a spiritual problem that we have in this country today.
Todd Huff: You know how many problems of ours would be solved if people turn to Jesus and I don't mean this as listen I take that any number of ways that you want I guess I don't. I'm just saying the transforming power of the god of the universe when we submit to him. The Bible tells us that he he does the work by the way says he makes us a new creature. He sends us his spirit we're sealed with his spirit that begins the process of sanctification. We're justified by our faith we're not justified by our works. But he begins the process of making us more like him if we submit it. To his authority if we submitted to his lordship. The amount of things that could change for the better overnight and that's listen I'm not saying that we should change for political purposes I'm just saying. That if that's option a which that's the best option by the way. We submit to his authority we submit to his ways we accept his truth we stop proclaiming the lies of the world we stop calling ourselves Christians and promoting some of these wild things abortion the lgbtq agenda transgender agenda and all that start stop acting like we're not allowed to address these things or that God doesn't have a design for the universe or that the truth is the opposite of the things that the world is saying sometimes so-called Christians professing Christians are pushing that agenda it's crazy talk to me.
Todd Huff: For someone who says that they are. A child of the of the king of this universe of Yahweh himself to do that is just. It's woe to him woe to him who calls evil good. So you've got that as option a and option B option B you have people who hate truth. They hate the things that I say on this program they hate me as a result of that they hate first and foremost the god of this universe the god of this universe exists the god of this universe has. Expectations right he has he created us we've all fallen short of those expectations we've done things that we've shouldn't have done we've not done things that we should have done the Bible calls this sin we miss the mark. And instead of saying. I messed up instead of saying. I want to be reconciled with the Creator with God Almighty instead of saying. I want to. I want to be on a path of Redemption and forgiveness and I want to. Be more like my Creator who is all loving who is kind and good and all those things the fruit of the spirit.

Talked about. For some time I've gone through the Epic times here the five things you need to know third thing here or excuse me four things that the Trump administration was likely.
Todd Huff: The target of course we knew this. Going back to the article it says also in the interview Blanche said the alleged shooter was likely targeting Trump and administration officials he cited findings that were made during the initial phase. Of the investigation it does appear that he did in fact set out to target folks that work in the administration likely including the president but I want to wait and not get ahead of us on that. It's it's pretty well known at this point that by this is me not reading from the article but from everything we know it's it's it's pretty clear that he was trying to get Trump. And or people of Trump's administration.
Todd Huff: Allen is expected to be formally charged today Monday. In federal court the acting attorney general said. Not atypically in a case like this there will be an assault of a federal officer charge Blanche said there will be a charge about him discharging a firearm and attempting to kill a federal officer and then there are potentially other charges beyond that that come from reviewing. Of the evidence and if we understand his motivations and as we continue to gather. The fifth thing this article points out again at the Epoch Times you can get all this by the way this and and more background I don't have time to get to here today. If you sign up to become a member of the Inner Circle you get our daily emails text truth 317785 1030. But social media pages of his of the alleged shooter have been uncovered a LinkedIn page that is believed to belong to the alleged shooter shows that he had worked as a part-time teacher and tutor and was named get ready for this teacher of the month in December 2024 at C to education a test preparation service. Allen the alleged shooter here who has a master's degree in computer science is listed as the developer of a video game. Boredom but just spelled B-O-H-R-D-O-M that was shown as available on Steam. The Epic times could not immediately confirm that Allen created the game Trump posted a social media photo of Alan lying face down on the floor after his arrest Sunday night look there's a lot to unpack here I mentioned other things I just I don't have time to get to today I wish that I did. You know it's one of the challenges here you I know what I'd like to get to there's just a lot of information trying to get our heads around this none of this is surprising. But the shooter. The well things I didn't get to that I want to get to either tomorrow or we'll get to in the Inner Circle.
Include the following Trump was asked. Why this Keith's happening. Why this keeps happening to him? He answered that question. I mentioned that Se cup a CNN commentator. Said that Trump wants us dead talking about journalism that happened like 20 minutes before the shooting. And she did say to her defense she said what was the word she used figuratively I believe figuratively speaking. I've hit on the fact that Trump has been framed as a. Dangerous president right he's been framed as Hitler as a fascist and all these things. Trump's also out there promoting. The White House ballroom in the wake of this which some people might say why is he doing that well it's because the White House ballroom would have been a more secure facility this sort of thing would be much much much less likely to happen on the White House grounds than they would be at a public hotel which of course was secured but it's just not the same thing so Trump's. Trump's out there I still think there's more to talk about when we look at the. Anti-Christian bias that exists out there this stuff has been. Created by the way to where people are believe that they're justified in having that bias and that hatred both for Christians and for Trump so that's out there as well but I'm out of time and I can't get into that today there'll be more things that we discuss of course in the days to come we'll get into it a little bit more in the Inner Circle as well. But I've got to go my friends thank you so much for listening have a wonderful day SDG.
