Key claims
FBI records obtained via Judicial Watch FOIA show a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged two emails with shooter Thomas Crooks before the attack, with heavy redactions; a SWAT officer recovered Crooks’s phone and a remote device with an antenna. The FBI “Rapid Response” denies the implication. The hosts also claim Trump doesn’t “call the shots” on Iran; Netanyahu and Israeli officials allegedly drive escalation, including after Trump’s comments to the Financial Times. They further claim the U.S. raised Israel’s counterintelligence threat level to “critical,” citing Israeli monitoring of U.S. officials negotiating Iran.
Notable examples
Butler, Pennsylvania sniper incident; RNC “maxi pads on their ears” anecdote; Netanyahu “40 years” Iran attack remark; reported explosions in Iran after Israeli strikes; U.S. raising Israel threat level; references to ICE/Homeland Security deaths of Renee Good and Alex Preddy.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Angie Sullivan:I remember the time that Trump was in Butler, Pennsylvania, and there was a sniper on the roof and everybody in the audience saw the sniper, but apparently Secret Service or local police didn't, which is weird. And then one of Trump's supporters gets shot and killed, and Trump's ear gets grazed, and then everybody goes to the Republican National Convention wearing maxi pads on their ears. Well, this is a really interesting development in this whole case, because I don't know about you guys. I'm not a huge conspiracy theorist, but the whole thing was always fishy AF. Pop this up. The Midas Touch is summarizing here a tweet from the Judicial Watch.
0:44Angie Sullivan:The Judicial Watch, interest of full disclosure here, has deleted the tweet. And we'll get into why we think they deleted it in a moment. But let me read this to you. FBI records obtained through a judicial watch lawsuit reveal that a Butler County Sheriff's deputy exchanged two emails with Trump shooter Thomas Crooks before the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt. The records remained heavily redacted, concealing the nature of the communications. The documents also reveal a SWAT officer recovered a cell phone and a remote device with an antenna from Crooks after he was killed. And then bizarrely, the FBI Rapid Response Center, aka Cash Patel, puts out a denial.
1:33Angie Sullivan:Pop this up. And this says, this is a clickbait lie by at Judicial Watch, which is now nothing more than a fake news media, blah, blah, blah. This FBI rapid response tweet gets community noted and it says the released FBI records obtained by judicial watch via the Freedom of Information Act are summaries of interviews with Butler County Sheriff's deputies, not college instructors, one of whom confirmed exchanging two emails with crooks prior to the shooting. So in my opinion, this brings out a really interesting development here that why the most petty grudge holding man on the planet, Donald Trump, never brings this up ever.
2:24Angie Sullivan:He never brings up Thomas Crooks. He never talks about anything regarding this. And this is a pretty big bombshell that the shooter was communicating with the sheriff's office. Bizarre, bizarre stuff. I look at this and in my mind when this happened, it all seemed to me to be odd. There was something odd about it from Jump. Like you said, everybody saw the sniper, but not the Secret Service. And then you get more into it. No details were released about the alleged assassin. There were no records made public despite different agencies and lawsuits trying to get this information. That smells super fishy.
3:11And then on top of all that, you have Donald Trump that within moments of this alleged assassination attempt, his fight, fight, fight, he had a message for it. He was on message immediately. And if my memory serves, at the time he was lagging in the polls with Kamala Harris at that time. And this catapulted him because he could say they attempted to take my life because I'm a hero. So there are so many things that don't add up here in my mind.
3:41Angie Sullivan:He was lagging in the polls, but Joe Biden was still his opponent at the time. Joe Biden had not dropped out of the race yet. And he was really, really lagging. And it's important to point out that had Joe Biden and or Kamala Harris won, Donald Trump more than likely would have been convicted and gone to prison because Jack Smith had him dead to rights. The whole thing was just pretty much as rock solid of a case as you can get. And so I think that this thing stinks to high heaven. I was in Italy when this happened. And of course, with the time exchange, I wake up and it's like, oh, my God, this happened.
4:18Angie Sullivan:And then I'm out and about everybody in Europe thought it was staged like, oh, the Americans with this Hollywood that looks so fake how he popped up and just how staged it was in nature. But anyway, it's this is not normal. And Trump has normalized this lack of transparency about facts regarding this. Now, he's very transparent about all the crimes and all of the basic financial pay to play shit that he has doing. he's very financial about i mean he's very transparent about that he wants to rub that in everybody's face but all of this the dismantling of the fbi dismantling of law enforcement it was all a lie oh my gosh the deep state is in all of these places they don't like um everyday americans that are unbiased that work in these companies because facts tend to go against fascists and so So Trump has now installed the deep state.
5:15Angie Sullivan:And the only thing that may save us are the people that he's installed are breathtakingly incompetent. Moving along, the Iran war was done per Marco Rubio for Benjamin Netanyahu, period. Every American president prior to Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, has begged to bomb Iran. and nobody was dumb enough or emotionally compromised enough to fall prey to superficial flattery to do it until Trump. And so now Trump has come out and said the following, pop this up. Trump to Financial Times. Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept whatever deal the U.S. negotiates with Iran because Trump calls the shots.
6:05Angie Sullivan:He won't have any choice, Trump told the Financial Times in a telephone interview, I call the shots. I call all the shots. He, Netanyahu, doesn't call the shots. And so obviously, it's for me, everybody says every accusation is a confession. For me, every denial is a confession. This whole thing with the FBI coming out about the assassin, every denial is a confession. There's something fishy AF going on there. obviously benjamin netanyahu calls the shots over donald trump i mean anybody on the planet can see that because all donald trump had to do when he got elected was go sit in the oval office and he could have redecorated built his arch done all sorts of shit and just let the government keep going the economy was the fastest best covid recovery ever and he has completely face planted everything regarding our country because he's a fascist.
7:04I completely agree with that. And the only thing I would add to that is I wonder if he's trying, if Trump is trying to convince himself that he calls the shots because he has been so exposed as being weak in this war. It is so unpopular. Allies are fleeing. It is obvious every time he makes a deal, Netanyahu says, fuck you, buddy. So I kind of think it's one of those things. He's trying to convince himself that he's called the shots. I'm the big brave warrior. When in reality, he knows he is fucked to death. And I will just say, in my mind, not only is Trump susceptible to superficial flattery, I think Netanyahu has all kinds of things Trump does not want released regarding the Epstein files and many other gazillions in my mind, other illegal infractions that Trump has committed.
8:00That's what I think.
8:02Angie Sullivan:And then right after this statement, I don't call the shots, Israel strikes Iran. Pop this up. Midas Touch is reporting multiple explosions are now being reported across several areas of Iran as the Israeli Air Force launches a new wave of strikes. according to reports this happened last night so time frame trump i call the shots netanyahu doesn't call the shots whan b-o-o-h-o-o wham wham pitches a fit and then benjamin netanyahu is like launch missiles and they immediately launch them and then i want to remind you that ben gavir who is a part of the israeli cabinet said just in may just last month popped this up ben Van Gewehr says Israel will not allow Trump to make a peace deal with Iran as IDF kills dozens in Lebanon.
8:54And this is just really important to understand that how much power Israel has over the United
9:03Angie Sullivan:States of America. It is not really in our interest whatsoever at all to bomb Iran. uh barack obama had an incredibly negotiated treaty regarding the um uh uranium and it was being monitored 24 7 and it was effective and it was working now we have an economy in freefall in the united states global economy in freefall because of the strait of hormuz And Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben Gavir, all of these people in the Israeli government, America needs to have a reckoning with. We cannot say, oh, we love Israel, but we hate Ben Gavir and Benjamin Netanyahu. But we're going to keep funding Israel. It doesn't work that way.
9:54Angie Sullivan:I love America, but I cannot stand this fascist government here right now. And I do not want democracies, our former allies, enabling the fascism that happens here, because it's not helpful. It's not helpful to enable fascism, to enable far right extremists like Gavir, like Netanyahu, like Trump. And so either you believe in democracy or you don't. Either you believe in facts and transparency or you don't. The United States and Israel are engaged in full-blown propaganda. And now, I guess, Netanyahu and Trump are in a dick measuring contest. And per Stormy Daniels, and this is just horrible to think about, I have my money on Netanyahu.
10:39Angie Sullivan:And I hate even saying that because I think Netanyahu's a repulsive, disgusting human being. I think the minute Netanyahu got Trump to start this war, it was game over. He knew that he would not be, or Netanyahu knew that Trump would not be able to back out. And I just want to, to your point about what does this do for the United States and the American citizenry? Now we have all this going on with Israel and you have the United States Senate voting to put the U.S. military and the Israeli military together. Like it's fucking crazy. Democrats and Republicans are voting for this. And it is terrifying.
11:20While we are paying for health care, we can't have higher education. And it's going on free in Israel. I just we really have to take a look at this issue.
11:31Angie Sullivan:Well, yeah. And it's because the pimps, the Israeli lobby that has captured all of the Republicans have have also captured a lot of the Democrats. That's why you can have somebody that seems like an awesome politician like Cory Booker, who can talk about LGBTQ plus rights. He can talk about civil rights. And you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you get to Israel and it's like, oh, all of that human rights shit he talks about, he carves out. That doesn't apply to Palestinians. And it's the problem with money and politics, which is the fascist Supreme Court has allowed it. And then we have fascism is here in the United States of America.
12:17Angie Sullivan:And anybody who tells you you can't call it what it is, is a fascist collaborator. It's why the Democrats lose. You have to call a spade a spade. all right listener finding a doctor in my opinion is like finding a diamond in the rough sure you want someone in network nearby with open time slots but let's be really honest about this that is only the start you deserve someone who really listens who makes you feel comfortable calms your nerves explains things clearly and on and on and that's why i personally use ZocDoc.

13:45Angie Sullivan:And then moving along here, the United States raises Israel's counterintelligence threat level to critical. This is really stunning stuff here. Pop this up. Recent U.S. intelligence reports indicate that Israeli spy agencies have intensified efforts to monitor American officials involved in negotiations with Iran. According to the reports, Israel targeted senior officials, including Steve Whitcoff, Elbridge Colby, and Michael demeanor. The Pentagon has raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level from high to critical. This is from the New York Times front page Sunday above the fold. And so our ally engages in espionage on our government.
14:38Angie Sullivan:And we expect Donald Trump that, oh, Netanyahu doesn't call the shots. Well, what on earth is happening then? What on earth is possibly happening then? Netanyahu, the moment Donald Trump capitulated to Israel and displayed American weakness and following the exact antithesis of leadership, the moment he said, yeah, fuck it, let's start bombing Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu was so excited. He was like a make a wish prime minister. He goes on social media and he says, my dream of 40 years of attacking Iran has finally come true. I'm paraphrasing here. But he didn't even have the wherewithal to edit that a little bit more.
15:28Angie Sullivan:He was so eaten up with the dumb shits that somebody finally went along with such a bad idea that he couldn't help but say, my dream has finally come true. We're bombing Iran. The American public has no appetite for this. Now, of course, there's the cult. There's 30 % of Americans that go along with this, that are like, our military is so badass. And Iran says, you know, death to America. Well, so what? Tough titties. A lot of people say a lot of shit. But when you have policy that works and you don't have to waste taxpayer money, you don't have to cause death. This is before we even start talking about those schoolgirls that got bombed.
16:15Angie Sullivan:And I know that in Israel's circles, the government, it's like kids and shit get killed all the time. But we cannot make this fucking normal. We have American citizens getting shot here. We have American bombs bombing little girls in Iran. and then Israel has so much blood on their hands. They've displaced all of these people in Lebanon. They carpet bomb civilian areas. That's before we even get to Gaza, which is an ongoing genocide. You have people running for Congress, Democrats running for Congress. When you ask, is it a genocide? And every expert on genocide said, yes, it is. And these dipshit Democrats running for Congress will not say it because everybody is so terrified of Israel.
17:04Angie Sullivan:And I just don't know how we have a democracy if we can't call out war crimes and we can't call a genocide a genocide. I don't know how you're supposed to have a democracy. I completely agree. And I was reading over the weekend. It's been 100 days since the United States bombed that school. And we still have zero notice as to why, transparency, a report, gone to Congress, nothing. Because I think it is so egregious that they are trying to hide it from us. The only thing I'll say about the Israeli government spying on Trump's and his officials, it's the easiest spy job they've ever had to do because these people are incompetent.
17:43They'll probably include them on group chats. I completely agree with you.
17:48Angie Sullivan:And I would just say this, of course, we have no answer about the schoolgirls because the murderers in ICE and Homeland Security that murdered Renee Good and Alex Preddy, no investigations, didn't lose their jobs, had been reassigned and are out terrorizing other American citizens. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later with more news.
18:15Thank you.
