Are political assassination attempts the new normal?



President Trump survived a second assassination attempt.

If you told Americans a few months ago that this is where we would be today, few would have believed you. Why would they? Prior to Trump’s fateful July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the idea that either candidate would face a serious attempt on his or her life seemed unthinkable. Yet it has happened not once, but twice since then. This raises a dreadful question: Are assassination attempts are becoming the new normal for American politics?

The second attempt on Trump’s life occurred on Sunday, September 15, at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course. As Trump played a few rounds, Secret Service agents scanned the area for potential threats, eventually noticing the muzzle of a rifle protruding from the bushes at the outskirts of the course. An agent fired a few shots at the suspect, who hopped into a vehicle and fled, leaving behind the weapon, equipment, and a GoPro camera. He was later apprehended by law enforcement and identified as Ryan Wesley Routh.

Liberal radicalization is real, and it shows no sign of stopping — even after two assassination attempts.

While Thomas Crooks, the Butler shooter, remains a mystery with an unclear background, beliefs, and motives, more is known about Routh. He appears to be a die-hard liberal, driven by the same anti-Trump complaints frequently heard from the corporate left-wing media.

Curiously, Routh was profiled by the New York Times in 2023 alongside other American volunteers in Ukraine. The article named Routh as a former construction worker from Greensboro, North Carolina, who spent a few months in Ukraine in 2022 and was “seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban.” Routh’s sketchy scheme involved illegally moving these Afghan soldiers from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine.

Although Routh’s social media accounts have been suspended, conservative sleuths were able to preserve some of his posts. In an X post from April, Routh tagged @POTUS and wrote:

Your campaign should be called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic and free. Trumps should be MASA… make Americans slaves again master. DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose. We cannot afford to fail. The world is counting on us to show the way.

Routh also donated to Democratic candidates 19 times during the 2020 election.

The press has tried to obscure Routh’s political leanings, noting that he is not registered with any political party and that he reportedly voted for Trump in 2016. But this isn’t difficult. We can say without exaggeration that the man responsible for the second attempt on Trump’s life is an ideologically committed liberal terrified that Trump intends to end American democracy for good.

Of course, that is a ridiculous fear. Trump doesn’t intend to become a fascist dictator. His enemy isn’t “democracy” — it’s the deep state, those unelected bureaucrats responsible for steering our country off course. But through the power of the media, that very deep state has succeeded at convincing a large number of Americans that its stranglehold on our country and “democracy” are synonymous. Ryan Routh’s attempt on Trump’s life is a direct consequence of this.

After the events of September 15, we cannot dismiss the Butler assassination attempt as a one-off. It wasn’t just a freak occurrence — it was the first of who knows how many attempts on Trump’s life. The corporate media and political establishment in this country had the opportunity after Butler to lower the temperature, moderate their rhetoric, and cease to act as if Trump was on the verge of dissolving the Reichstag. But they didn’t, and we now find ourselves in a dark place, a new normal where assassination attempts on anti-establishment candidates (and in this case, former presidents) have become commonplace.

The powers that be have no intention of turning down the temperature. For hysterically promulgating dangerous falsehoods about President Trump and his supporters, they are to blame for the shift toward political violence in America. Liberal radicalization is real, and it shows no sign of stopping — even after two assassination attempts.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the left to change its ways. Its concern is power, not maintaining once-sacred norms in America like “don’t assassinate your political rivals.” Only by achieving lasting political victory over these ghouls will the nightmarish new normal they have birthed be undone.

That, admittedly, is a tall order. But it is all the more reason to vote for Trump this November.

Here are the facts about the latest known attempt on Trump's life



Exactly 50 days before the November election and 64 days after the previous assassination attempt, President Donald Trump was allegedly targeted for murder by a Democratic donor with an impotent interest in Ukraine's war effort.

Unlike Thomas Matthew Crooks' July 13 assassination attempt, which left Trump bleeding, two individuals critically wounded, and heroic former firefighter Corey Comperatore dead in the stands, it appears there may be far more clarity around suspected would-be assassin Ryan Routh and his Sept. 15 plot.

For starters, Routh is still alive to speak to his alleged crimes. There's also the matter of Routh's significant online footprint and his apparent affinity in recent years for doing interviews with virtually anyone who would stick a microphone in his face.

What follows is a summary of the facts as they are presently understood.

Incident and arrest

According to the FBI's affidavit in support of the criminal complaint filed Monday, President Donald Trump was golfing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday. Unbeknownst to him or his Secret Service detail, a deranged gunman lay ahead in ambush.

Just after 1:30 p.m., a U.S. Secret Service agent on Trump's detail, who had been walking the perimeter of the course — one hole ahead of the president — spotted what appeared to be a rifle "poking out of the tree line" and through a chain-link fence, roughly 400 yards away from Trump.

The USSS agent reportedly opened fire but failed to land a shot. The suspect apparently never got a shot off.

'Nothing will slow me down.'

Suspected gunman Ryan Routh apparently fled the tree line, jumped into a Nissan SUV with license plates belonging to a stolen white 2012 Ford truck, then sped out of the area.

The gunman left behind a GoPro digital camera, two bags including a backpack, a black plastic bag containing food, and an SKS-style 7.62x39 caliber rifle with a long-range scope and an "obliterated" serial number.

Blaze News previously noted that geolocation data from Routh's T-Mobile cell phone apparently placed him along the fence line at 1:59 a.m. Sunday morning. He remained there until the Secret Service agent opened fire.

The FBI affidavit indicated that after fleeing the scene, Routh traveled northbound on I-95 — where officers from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and Martin County Sheriff's Office made their move, afforded insights about the driver and vehicle by a witness who spotted Routh getting away.

Roughly 45 minutes after the USSS agent opened fire and 40 miles away from the course, MCSO managed to stop Routh's vehicle and place him under arrest without incident.

Routh is now facing charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. If slapped with the maximum penalty for both charges, then Routh is looking at 20 years' imprisonment. He may face additional charges.

'The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin.'

Shortly after the incident, President Trump stated, "There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL! Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me. Unity. Peace. Make America Great Again."

While the FBI announced it was leading the ongoing investigation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced Sunday that the Sunshine State will be conducting its own investigation.

"The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee," wrote DeSantis.

Who is Ryan Routh?

Felon known to FBI

Ryan Wesley Routh is a 58-year-old North Carolina native who has lived in Hawaii for at least six years, where he owns a small construction company. While still a Hawaii resident, Routh reportedly voted in North Carolina's Democratic primary this past March.

According to his LinkedIn, he received a degree in mechanical engineering from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

Routh was known to law enforcement prior to Sunday and has a significant criminal record, charged with at least 100 criminal counts in North Carolina alone.

The suspected would-be assassin reportedly wielded a fully automatic machine gun in a three-hour standoff with police in North Carolina in 2002.

According a decades-old Greensboro News & Record report, Routh was charged at the time with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon of mass destruction. He was also charged with resisting, delaying, and obstructing a law enforcement officer as well as driving with a revoked license and hit-and-run.

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender database indicates Routh was convicted in 2010 for possession of stolen goods. The corresponding police affidavit used to get a search warrant claimed Routh was selling stolen building supplies to buy crack cocaine, reported the Associated Press.

Routh has also reportedly been in and out of court on numerous occasions for various civil suits, for several of which he was ultimately ordered to pay tens of thousands of dollars to plaintiffs.

Blaze News previously reported that Jeffrey Veltri, the FBI's special agent in charge of the Miami field office, revealed that the FBI received a complaint in 2019 that Routh had a firearm, despite being a convicted felon.

According to Veltri, the FBI passed the information on to local law enforcement in Honolulu. It's unclear whether anything came of the referral.

Trump critic, Democratic booster

Sleuths online had ample time before Facebook and X scrubbed his profiles to screenshot and archive damning comments indicating his political views and possible motivations. It quickly became clear that he had thrown in his lot with the Democrats and bought into their rhetoric about Trump.

Blaze News previously highlighted how Routh recycled a go-to Democratic slogan in this election cycle in an April 22 post on X, writing:

@POTUS Your campaign should be called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic and free. Trumps should be MASA ... make Americans slave again master. DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose. We cannot afford to fail. The world is counting in us to show the way.

His final two posts on X prior to the incident were messages to President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, recommending in mid-July that they should "visit the injured people in the hospital from the Trump rally and attend the funeral of the murdered fireman. Trump will never do anything for them....show the world what compassion and humanity is all about. 8084648342."

Apart from his consistent fixation on committing civilians to the Ukrainian war effort, Routh's politics have been all over the place. He has indicated, for instance, that he voted for Trump in 2016 but that he deeply regrets it. Prior to throwing his support behind Biden, Routh also admitted to having a soft spot for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

It's clear from his social media posts that he also supported the Black Lives Matter movement and has adopted anti-Israel talking points, such as the suggestion that Israel has no claim to the land within its borders.

In his self-published 2023 book, "Ukraine's Unwinnable War," Routh echoes various establishment Democrat talking points, including the suggestion that the Jan. 6 riot was a "catastrophe ... perpetrated by Donald Trump and his undemocratic posse."

As was the case with Crooks, Routh has made political contributions to Democrats. In Routh's case, he made around 20 small donations to Democrats through ActBlue between 2019 and 2020.

In his book, the suspected would-be assassin apologizes to Iranians for Trump dismantling the nuclear deal and noted, "You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment," reported the New York Post.

The Democratic donor added, "No one here in the US seems to have the balls to put natural selection to work or even unnatural selection."

Wannabe Ukraine mercenary

Routh appears to be a zealous advocate for Ukraine and its defensive war against Russia. He appears to have run the website "Fight for Ukraine," where he figures prominently in the About section and provides links to his now-deleted webpages.

The page states:

We need thousands of fighters and humanitarian aid workers and supplies to win this war and no one should ever let paperwork or red tape hinder their desire to fight for freedom, humanity and basic human rights. It is the most honorable and dignified sacrifice anyone can make to support their fellowman. Please encourage every age and gender from around the world to come and join the fight.

On the site, Routh details various ways — including unlawful ways — people could supposedly go to fight as mercenaries in Ukraine. For those who simply cross the border into Ukraine, he recommended they give him a call once in Kiev.

The New York Times' Thomas Gibbons-Neff recalled an interview he had in 2023 with individuals who were "not qualified to be allowed anywhere near the battlefield in a U.S.-led war and yet were fighting on the front against Russia, with access to weapons and military equipment."

Gibbons-Neff indicated he heard of Routh through a former Afghan special operations soldier in Iran.

"Like many foreign volunteers who showed up at Ukraine's border in the war's early months, he was eager to cast aside his former life for something far more exciting and make a name for himself," wrote the Times reporter.

Routh, who told the Financial Times in 2022 that the Ukrainian Foreign Legion rejected him on account of his age, apparently spent some time in Ukraine attempting to recruit Afghans who had fled the Taliban. His X timeline was crowded with failed pleas to various defense officials and organizations to allow Afghan fighters into Ukraine.

Ukraine's foreign legion has characterized Routh as a charlatan.

The legion said in an official statement, "American citizen Ryan Routh has never served in the International Legion of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, has no relation to the unit. Rumors disseminated in certain media are not true."

"There's a streak of zealotry in him," Evelyn Aschenbrenner, an American who was in the legion's administration until June, told the Washington Post. "In November of last year, I began sending out a [message] to all foreign soldiers saying, 'This guy is not a real recruiter. He's not legit. I don't know what he's up to. Just stay away from him — block and ignore and move on.'"

"The cats and dogs on the military bases did more than he did," added Aschenbrenner.

Despite begging others to do so and claiming he had in a December 2023 Facebook post, the New York Times indicated Routh never fought in Ukraine.

Routh was, however, a cheerleader for the Ukrainian brigade associated with neo-Nazis since its inception. He appears at the 1:50-minute mark in a 2022 video of a Ukrainian demonstration in support of the Azov Brigade.

He also tweeted to Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy on March 13, 2022, informing him "I am an American coming to fight with you in Ukraine; I am flying into Krokow and will take any transport to Kyiv to meet you and fight to the death. We must get every civilian in the world to come and join the fight; I will be the example. Attack moscow now."

USA Today indicated it tried calling a number associated with Ryan and was greeted by a voicemail message identifying the number's owner as "Ryan in Hawaii," working with the "National Volunteer Center, sending soldiers to Ukraine, as well as Taiwan."

The International Volunteer Center in Ukraine made clear it hasn't worked with Ryan.

Routh told the Times that he had also been scheduled to meet with the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (the Helsinki Commission) "for two hours" to increase support for Ukraine. It's unclear if they ever went through with the meeting.

The Helsinki Commission is an independent commission of the federal government that has among its current commissioners Reps. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y) and Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

The REAL reason Democrats think JD Vance is ‘weird’



While phrases like “Keep Austin weird” indicate a certain level of “cool” to the left, Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance, has been ascribed a similar phrase for a totally different reason.

And Glenn Beck knows why.

“JD Vance is from a red state: weirdness number one. JD Vance grew up in white poverty: weirdness number two,” Glenn explains. “He didn’t have white privilege: weirdness number three. And he never gave up or listened to the naysayers: weirdness number four.”

While those on the left often look for handouts over hard work, Vance is the opposite.

“Nobody’s holding you back except you and your choices. That’s one of the biggest things that’s weird about JD Vance because either they totally believe it or they know they’re running an evil scam on people all over the world,” Glenn says.

The reason why this is such an important piece of the “JD Vance is weird” momentum, is because a left-wing government wants you to rely on it. It doesn’t want you to believe the future is in your hands.

“Who says that except an abusive partner?” Glenn asks.

And Vance doesn’t just not rely on the government for handouts, but he’s created his own world. He’s an entrepreneur — and nothing’s weirder to the left than people with the intellectual and emotional fortitude to build their own reality.

“Those are the people with real drive, and they’re different than people that just want a 9 to 5 job, and there’s nothing wrong with either of them,” Glenn says, though he notes that those who don’t believe they have it in them to be like Vance want to take from his wallet.

“Those are the people that the left relates to and counts on because they can use greed and envy to have you look at an entrepreneur, somebody with drive. ‘Look man, I don’t have the drive to do what Elon Musk does, I don’t have the brains to do it either,’” Glenn says. “‘I think I should take some money from Elon Musk.’”

“They think JD Vance is weird because they can’t relate to him on anything. His white poverty instead of his white privilege, his red state over their blue state, his getting back up again over and over again and rejecting the idea ‘stay down, you need the government, reach out for a handout,’” Glenn continues, adding, “They can’t understand that.”

Obamas finally endorse Kamala Harris, and we have a question: 'WHAT did that cost her?'



When Biden finally dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, the Obamas – some of the most powerful people in the Democratic party – did not initially follow suit, leading people to speculate that maybe Michelle would run.

However, that conjecture has been put to rest, as the Obamas have now endorsed Harris.

Glenn Beck plays the footage of Harris getting the phone call from Barack and Michelle announcing their official endorsement, which is included in one of her campaign ads.

Did Kamala Harris make a SECRET DEAL with Obama to get the Nomination?www.youtube.com

“It doesn’t ring true to me,” says Glenn, wondering what it “cost her” to get the stamp of approval from Obamas – a very “transactional couple.”

“Not nothing; I think we can be certain of that,” says Stu Burguiere.

“Here’s my guess,” says Glenn. “One of the pieces that it cost was Mark Kelly. Barack and Michelle want Mark Kelly; they do not want Kamala Harris. That's why he hadn't endorsed, and he was hoping that this would all go away after Joe Biden endorsed Kamala. I think Joe Biden [endorsed her] as a slap across Michelle and Barack's face.”

“I don't think [Biden] likes [the Obamas] at all, and I don't think they like him,” he continues. “[Biden] issued that letter and then he came out and said, ‘Oh by the way, I also endorse Kamala.”’

According to Glenn, however, “if [the Obamas] have a chance to turn on [Kamala] and do a coup on her, they will.”

“Why do you think Mark Kelly was such a big favorite of the Obama family?” asks Stu.

"Mark Kelly is the Pacifica," and "[Harris] is the Ferrari," is Glenn's answer.

Glenn Beck recaps the MOST INSANE month in US political history



It’s been a long, treacherous month — especially if you love your country.

To kick it off, President Joe Biden shocked half of the nation at the presidential debate by confirming what the other half — conservatives — have been saying all along. That of course is that his apparent mental decline.

“It was a frightening moment for many Americans. Not because ‘Oh my gosh he’s going to lose to Donald Trump’ but because that guy is the guy who’s running the country,” Glenn Beck says.

Shortly after, former President Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“So we don’t know who’s in charge, and then a week later the guy running against him is gunned down on live television, and we really don’t know what happened,” Glenn continues, noting that we then were faced with the realization that the Secret Service director was a DEI hire.

“The head of security of the Security Service, we all figured out and found out, was hired by the first lady. Not the president. The first lady was the one who pushed for her DEI hire at the Secret Service. And she was protecting PepsiCo and now the most important leaders of the world,” Glenn says in disbelief.

When the now-former Secret Service director — who just resigned — gave her testimony on what happened on July 13, her lack of ability to answer questions had Americans everywhere asking a new question.

“Wait a minute, was this a setup?” Glenn asks, recalling the testimony. “What are they covering up? If they’re not covering something up, why wouldn’t they just be honest and open and transparent?”

And of course, there’s Biden’s resignation from the 2024 presidential race.

“I think he should have resigned, not just from the candidacy but from the presidency of the United States,” Glenn says. “He’s not okay to run a campaign, but he’s okay to run the country?”

Then Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in to replace him as the Democratic candidate for 2024.

“The party elites picked her, and then they had a coup and picked her again,” Glenn says.

“I just want you to recognize why you might be on edge. Why you might be so tired right now. A lot has happened to your country that you love.”

“Your country has taken a beating over just the last three weeks,” he adds.

WATCH: Glenn Beck unpacks Biden’s Oval Office speech — 'He is NOT fit to rule'



Last night, President Biden gave a speech from the Oval Office. It’s the first time he’s spoken since he announced his declination of the Democratic nomination in the 2024 election.

In his address confirming that he would “pass the torch,” Biden reiterated that “democracy is at stake” and that he would be “focused on doing [his] job as president” until the end of his term. He also chronicled all of his “accomplishments” over the course of his leadership — many of which were blatant lies (i.e., “securing our border”) — and promised to continue working hard to lower costs, protect our freedom, and fight extremism, among other endeavors. He then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and said, “The choice is up to you — the American people.”

If you’re reading this and scoffing, you’re not alone. Glenn Beck was appalled, although not necessarily surprised, by Biden’s speech.

"He is NOT Fit to Rule!" | Glenn Beck STRONG Reaction to Biden Speechwww.youtube.com

As for the president’s promises to “continue to lower costs for hardworking families,” “grow our economy,” “[defend] our personal freedoms and our civil rights — from the right to vote to the right to choose,” “[call] out hate and extremism,” “protect our kids from gun violence and our planet from climate crisis,” and “call for Supreme Court reform,” Glenn is most concerned about the last one — reforming the Supreme Court.

“This is anti-republic and anti-democratic,” he says, adding that “the Supreme Court is actually shrinking the size of the federal government and returning the power closer to you at the state level.”

“[Democrats] don't like that, and quite honestly, it's because they do believe that they know better than the average American,” he explains.

Biden also stated that “the great thing about America is here, kings and dictators do not rule; the people do,” making his intentions to reform the Supreme court “pretty ironic” — not to mention the fact that Kamala Harris has already been all but coronated by the Democratic party.

But perhaps the most disturbing aspect of Biden’s speech was his feigned contentedness at dropping out of the race.

On July 20, while in supposedly isolated quarantine, Biden posted the following tweet:

“Less than 24 hours later, not even a full day, Joe Biden steps down, and he does it again by a tweet,” says Glenn, noting that the letter lacked an “official presidential letterhead” and featured “a signature uncommon from the way he usually signs.”

What happened?

“It was a coup. It was a threat,” says Glenn.

Media, others try to erase Kamala Harris' border czar assignment, liberal record in Senate



Since Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was dropping his bid for a second term in the Oval Office, Vice President Kamala Harris has all but locked up enough delegate support to become the Democrat nominee for president in 2024. With a prospective showdown between Harris and former President Donald Trump looming large, many media outlets and government-affiliated websites have apparently attempted to obscure Harris' record in office to improve her election chances in November.

'Literally as far left as it is possible to go.'

At the moment, the media seems fixated on technicalities about the border czar title.

In March 2021, Biden tapped Harris to uncover the "root causes" of the crisis at the southern border, and at the time, Harris seemed to embrace the challenge, tweeting, "@POTUS asked me to lead our diplomatic work with Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. To address the situation at the southern border, we have to address the root causes of migration. It won’t be easy work — but it's necessary."

— (@)

As "learner of immigration root causes" is a bit difficult to say over and over, Harris became colloquially referred to as the border czar. Even many in media picked up the label, as demonstrated by this montage that has recently gone viral on social media.

Now in summer 2024, with millions upon millions of migrants having flooded the southern border under Harris' watch and a tough election against Trump on the horizon, the same media is scrambling to retroactively remove the border czar label from her political resume.

"Kamala Harris Was Never Biden’s 'Border Czar.' Here’s What She Really Did," read a Time headline on Tuesday.

"The Veep and the border: Kamala Harris' role was never 'border czar,'" said another from the New York Daily News.

"Harris was never put in charge of the border or made 'border czar,' immigration experts said," added USA Today, implying that so-called "immigration experts" might have esoteric insights into a moniker that was widely shared.

Axios in particular has been called out for gaslighting on the issue. On Wednesday, Axio was roasted on social media after it insisted in a tweet that Harris "never actually had" the "title" of "border czar," even though an article from the outlet in April 2021 specifically referred to Harris as Biden's appointed "border czar."

Axios then issued a mea culpa of sorts. An article from the outlet claiming that "border confusion haunts" Harris' fledgling campaign was updated Wednesday to include the following editor's note: "This article has been updated and clarified to note that Axios was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris a 'border czar' in 2021."

Trump is already making Harris' failure to contain the border crisis a major campaign focus. "Harris was appointed 'border czar' in March of 2021, and since that time, millions and millions of illegal aliens have invaded our country and countless Americans have been killed by migrant crime because of her willful demolition of America borders and laws," he said on a call with reporters this week, according to the New York Post.

Aside from conveniently forgetting Harris' border czar nickname, some eager to promote her candidacy have apparently attempted to conceal her far-left voting record as a senator from California. Back in 2019, GovTrack listed Harris as the "most liberal" of all 100 U.S. senators, and CBS' Norah O'Donnell then referenced that assessment from GovTrack during an interview with Harris, who, not surprisingly, responded with a nervous cackle.

But at some point, it appears that GovTrack, billed as a nonpartisan government transparency website, scrubbed that "most liberal" ranking from Harris' old page. X CEO Elon Musk was appalled, claiming, "They’re trying so hard to erase the Internet lmao." He also characterized Harris as "literally as far left as it is possible to go."

Joe Biden Was Never Fit To Be President

The 81-year-old’s cognitive decline was apparent long before he took over the Oval Office in January 2021.
