Impact on a tense president ial campaign. City on edge. Ohio State Police Head to springfield in the wake of false claims about immigrants spread by Donald Trump and his Running Mate. Hiphop Producer Sean Diddy combs is under Arrest Tonight after an ongoing federal investigation is the 11th Hour gets underway on this monday night. Good evening once again. We are 50 days away from Election Day, but right now, the focus is on what appears to be the second Assassination Attempt on former President Trump. My Colleague Garrett Haake has the latest on the suspect and the investigation. Keep walking. Reporter newly released Body Cam Video showing the suspect in the apparent Assassination Attempt of former President Trump as he was arrested sunday in florida. What your name . He was driving with the flow of traffic. I think he may have thought he would get away with the. It was probably the highest profile stop this Sheriffs Office has ever made. Reporter two months after the Assassination Attempt in butler, pennsylvania. New questions about how another Arm Suspect was able to get close to the republican nominee. The suspect in the Sunday Incident Ryan Wesley Routh charged in federal court with possession of a firearm by a Per Dividend Person imposition of a firearm with obliterated serial number with more charges likely to follow. Our fbi agents attempted to interview him and he invoked his right to an attorney. Reporter according to court documents, the Phone Signal suggest he had been hiding in the bushes for nearly 12 hours from 1 59 a. M. Until 1 31 p. M. Thats when, according to the documents, while trump was coughing a secret Service Agent spotted a Rifle Poking out of the trees. The agent of an fire in the direction of the rifle and he flood. This photo shows woody left behind including the rifle, scope, go pro Camera Backpack with ceramic tiles. A witness saw the Man Fling giving information to authorities critical to his arrest. The acting secret Service Director saying he has talked to trump. Have you briefed former President Trump on your fennec so far and has his campaign is for changes in his campaign going forward . I had a conversation with him and he is aware he has highest levels of protection the Secret Service is providing. Reporter we are learning more about the suspects back when. His home was searched by authorities overnight. Court records show a lengthy criminal history including a conviction for possession of a Machine Gun. He had problems with the feds. Reporter he was an outspoken supporter of ukraine who visited the country in 2022. Thousands of people from every country around the world. Reporter on social media, he called trumpists, quote, choice in 2016 who had since become a disappointment. He contributed to democrats in 2019 and voted in the democratic primary in 2020. He also criticized Trump Writing in april, quote, democracy is on the ballot and we cannot lose. Today, trump arguing the suspect, quote, believe the rhetoric of Biden Harris and acted on it and comments echoing the debate. I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things they say about me. They talk about democracy. Im a threat to democracy. Reporter trump is used incendiary language against democrats and authorities have not revealed emotive in either incident. Vice president Kamala Harris condemned political violence writing, quote, i am thankful the former President Trump is a. This today from President Biden. In america we resolve our differences peacefully at the Ballot Box and not at the end of a gun. This has put the Secret Service in the spotlight. Today President Biden said the agency needs more help. We have a lot to discuss so lets bring our leadoff panel, Jeff Mason is here and Stamm Sign sam sign. And frank is here, former Fbi Assistant director for counterintelligence. Frank, what your reaction to what authorities have revealed so far . First, a couple of things jump out at me. One is this individual likely was in place at the Golf Course for up to 12 hours ahead of the incident. That gets to the issue of whether or not sufficient advance was conducted. I hear the Acting Director of Secret Service saying this was off the Record Movement. No One Shouldve known he was going. It was unplanned and yet in Todays Day and age, 20 Million Assault Rifles in this country in 31 states have open carry, secret Service Cant say its an off the Record Movement and we will treat it with later security. Those days are over. We know theres an investigation into the Assassination Attempt in butler, pennsylvania. The president said we need more help, the agency needs more help. What else is the White House saying . They are condemning political violence in the president and Vice President did in their statements. You were right to highlight what President Biden said on his way out of the White House earlier today. The agency requires, in his view, more funding. We have seen the former president is not getting the same level of security he got when he was sitting president which is logical. Thats how it works. Because he is the republican candidate and because of these threats, clearly its something President Biden and others around trump will want to reevaluate. Frank, even if congress allocates more money to more protection for the former president , is there enough time between now and the election to deploy maurices resources and trade more people . No. To deploy more Resources Part will happen. You will see agents injected into the Secret Service from Homeland Security. You will see a lot more money flowing to local and State Law Enforcement for Manning Post that Secret Service might try to man. Thats a shortterm bandaid to get us through. The longerterm issue is bigger than throwing money at the problem. We have to enforce the Gun Safety laws in this country. Ats budget was cut 50 million. Thats the agency that is supposed one for. This has happened twice. Just in this campaign cycle. Does that signal a fundamental change in our politics . Yes and no. We have always had he did politics. Political violence in this Country And President s assassinated. Threats on president ial candidate before. Gerald ford two Assassination Attempts. On the other hand, you can make the case that the current Campaign Rhetoric is at a different level of heated as compared to the past. Who you want to blame for that depends on your vantage point. I think its fair to say we are in a larger debate over Whats Incitement . Who was to blame . Can we say trump is a threat to democracy . These political issues are brought to the Fore By Trump and his candidacy does not justify or rationalize violence. Thats what makes it different. We are in heated debates about Whats Incitement and acceptable political rhetoric. The Washington Post reports that authorities warn trump for years about the risks of golfing at his courses and how difficult they are to protect. What makes them so vulnerable there . Is we saw and butler, pennsylvania which was a more controlled environment, believe it or not, the Golf Course is wide open and its long and your protectee is exposed for hours, playing a game thats predictable. He will move from whole one to cold two. You know what is going to do when hes there and hes there too long. We need to understand its virtually impossible to guarantee the safety of the protectee in an openair environment, and that needs to get listened to by the protectees. The secret Service Advice should be more than just a suggestion. Republican Governor Desantis said his state is also going to conduct its own investigation because he has concerns about the same federal agencies that are prosecuting trump are the ones investigating this attack. Is desantis playing politics here . The fbi is an impartial organization. Right. The Arm Portion and they have more resources and capacity than florida officials. That said, what he is getting at is a largescale distrust that has been brewing in politics over the fbi that stems back to the Trump Presidency and the Fact Trump has spoken out against the director of the fbi. Desantis is playing into that. He is trying to do his own parallel investigation and whether it interferes with the fbi, in the end, the fbi is the investigative body and should be in charge of the investigation. Is there any way to avoid keep this from coming Hyper Political . Thats a great question. Its hard to answer. I think from the responses we have seen on the democratic side, the president and Vice President , president ial nominee are not trying to make a political and talking increasing resources, thats addressing a point of criticism from the republican side. There is no doubt that political rhetoric is heated on both sides, but has been especially heated on the republican side and the fact the former president is bringing up Conspiracy Theories on the Debate Stage that is led to violence and threats in springfield is a good example of that. I dont mention that in any way to excuse what happened here. It is outrageous and unprecedented, at least in my time covering politics, to two potential Assassination Attempts against a candidate and former president. The rhetoric is an issue for sure. The fact the former president is blaming this incident on democrats does not take into account the role he has played in terms of raising the rhetoric or raising the fears and playing with Conspiracy Theories on his side. Frank, want to make it clear to the audience. He wrote about it for not bad that the Secret Service did not fail Donald Trump. What do you think led to this . Make it clear to us . It led to this incident are led to the victory of people trying to take out a nominee . Look, weve got a situation in this country where there are way too many bad people with guns, and weve got to get better at taking those guns away from people who should not have them. This guy is Exhibit A. Arrested and charged over 100 times including frightfully automatic Machine Gun in the state of north carolina. Resisting an officer and on and on and yet here is this guy and hes got a gun. He received it apparently with the obliterated serial numbers. A felon in possession. If we had serious enforcement of existing gun laws, we would have agents who make sure people like that are not possessing guns. Conspiracy theories and the Fact Dairy are pushed broadly as a Root Cause of so much of the divisiveness in our country right now. I want to ask you, frank, but the news we learned tonight. Meta has officially banned the russian Media Outlet Rt just days after the was accused them of spreading disinformation. Which are taken this too little too late . I think its a bold move and needs to happen. Weve got a documented record that the russian intelligence services are utilizing rt and other platforms to secretly covertly tried to shape the thinking of the american mind with propaganda and really trying to divide us by a Hot Button issues they are getting into. Gender, race, its being pushed at us from an adversary so i applaud their Step Today but americans need to understand, our adversaries want to impact the Selection And Number 2 so discord and chaos. They seem to be succeeding. Thank you so much. Weve got to take a turn to breaking news. Right here in manhattan, music mogul Sean Diddy combs was arrested following a federal Grand Jury indictment. He has been facing a wave of lawsuits accusing him of sexual Assault And Trafficking and they raided his home back in march. I want to bring in former new York Prosecutor and civil rights attorney, our friend charles coleman. This is a big one. Weve been waiting for quite some time. Prosecutors will unseal this indictment tomorrow, but what can you tell us based on what you know so far . What we dont know is what is in the indictment. It is sealed boat what we can glean is the federal investigation that has been going on surrounding Sean Diddy combs have been relentless. Homeland security, the fbi, a number of different keys around Sex Trafficking, Sexual Assault as well as potentially issues around guns and drugs. The distribution itself. Its important to understand when talking about combs. Its not his first run in with the law but it may be his last in that the feds do not pursue things like this if they know they dont have a strong case. The reality is with as many witnesses they have been stockpiling and is much evidence they have been gathering, theres something here, and it will likely result in a combs conviction. Its Bad News for Sean Diddy combs by any measure, on any level, regardless of the charges or what combination it ends up being. What do you think you could be looking at . I think it will be a combination. I think it was a Sex Trafficking charges chris that will be within the realm of federal investigations in terms of going state to state. The civil cases that upon stockpiling against him over the past couple of years. Weve seen that in the case, the allegations and the number of other lawsuits filed against him. I think based on the Homeland Security raid that there will be an issue around trafficking drugs and guns. With respect to sexual us all, i dont know if we will see that i feel confident that this indictment will have a combination of those two elements whether sexual trafficking across State Lines and or the distribution of guns and drugs. All right, thank you for joining us. Springfield, ohio, is a target. Government buildings, schools, and hospitals all closed because of violent threats. How Donald Trump in j. D.

Springfield, ohio, now this town is caught in the center of a national debate over immigration and local officials say things are getting out of control. False claims about haitian migrants eating residence pets ablative Bomb Threats aimed at the haitian community, city hall, hospitals, colleges and Elementary Schools have been forced to close. Today, the republican governor of the state Mike Dewine ordered State Troopers replaced placed in the school district. The lies about those immigrants who settled lawfully were amplified by Donald Trump in j. D. Vance, and this Weekend Vance defended the lies he has told. The american media totally ignored the stuff until Donald Trump and i started talking about cat memes. It wasnt just a meme. If i have to create stories so the media pays attention to the suffering of the american people, then that is what i will do. He made up stories which then caused suffering that people in springfield are experiencing right now. Lets discuss with two of my favorites. A democratic Strategist And Founder brilliant Corners Research and tim miller, host of the Bulwark Podcast of former Communication Director for jeb bush. Cornell, do i have this right . They made up a vicious story about migrants committing crimes, which has cost serious problems in springfield, why . Because Donald Trump failed to make his winning Immigration Argument that he thought he would win on during the debate. Is at what happened . I think Thats Part of it, but part of it also is history. I was thinking about this for the last several days, and it goes back, and this is sad, but it goes back to what Lee Atwater who was the architect of the southern strategist said, you lean into these racial aversion issues and you press these racial aversion issues and you drown out everything else. Thats exactly what is happening. Instead of talking about what policies are best for the Working Class people, especially like ohio, what do we have . We have people at each others throats based on race and lies. In the end, its the Working Class people of this country who lose out because theyre being pitted against each other. You cant ahead or you are falling behind because of the brown person. At the same time, trump is promising massive Tax Giveaways to billionaires and Wall Street and Big Oil Interests if you fund my campaign. In the end, this is Bait And Switch politics and it is worse. Absolutely at its worse. How many times are we going to fall for it in this country . I hear you but we have to cover it. We have to cover it when the nominee for the president and his Running Mate are pushing dangerous lies like this. They wanted to get Kamala Harriss clear victory on the Debate Stage out of the headlines. Tim, they made this up and now we have to cover this situation and were talking about immigration that they havent offered one single policy to a single person in springfield to address any issues. Lets be clear. Theres no illegal activity with illegal immigrants. The haitians in the community came there lawfully to fill jobs. Yeah, the depths of the disingenuousness is hard to fathom or explain here. Springfield has a republican mayor and a republican governor, ohio does. J. D. Vance is the senator from springfield. This whole notion is falls. This whole premise that its Media Criticism i had to do these racist lies, commentary about the media. If there were real problems in springfield, and it seems there are some legitimate details but not pet abduction but other issues. They wanted those issues to be dealt with, the republican Senator And Mayor and governor can talk about policies that need to change to deal with it. That is not what they are doing and not what they are interested in doing. Its a lie on top of a light to britain like they are advancing this racist nonsense in order to get people to care. What does it matter if Cable News is talking about this or not if you cared about the policies which you could do that. What j. D. Vance is doing is sick and he knows its sick. In 2016 he criticized trump for rhetoric and its reprehensible and god wants better from us. Thats what j. D. Vance said in 2016 but i guess god doesnt want there for him anymore. We have listened two months to go and we are seeing the impact of these lies when schools are and hospitals are closed, but talk about this campaign and how we should cover it right now . I am mad at the american people are falling for it again, time and time again. The workingclass white person up in arms about this, that haitian immigrant is not the reason why you dont have universal Health Care like most of the western world. Its not the reason why your Childcare Is not covered. Its not the reason why you dont have some of the basic rights of workers that you see in most of the western advanced world. No. We keep allowing the Bait And Switch and the brown person or the person that is different is the enemy while the rich guy walks away and breaks the economy and walks away with all the goods. I am not mad at the media for covering it, but, my god, how stupid are we as workingclass people to keep falling for it. Again, they put forward no policy around workingclass people. How this campaign unfolds the next couple of months . I think the Harris Campaign has to stay focused on putting forward a vision and image and policy that is about, its about the Policy Objectives of what you will do for working people and putting forward a policy around helping Working Class people make ends meet. Its bigger than that also. I dont care what your Policy Prescriptions are. If we cant bring americans better and make americans get along and be on the same team, no policy will save us or have us win the future. In this country if we are fighting each other. You want your life to be better, and are looking for affordable childcare. Listen to Donald Trump. What is is answer . Childcare is childcare. Affordable Health Care . He has ideas but he has a shared them. Tim, your colleague wrote about the politics of hating what he calls the right people. What does that even mean . Vance the Interview Crystal was referencing when running for senate said to a reporter that one thing, he thinks maga has right as they hate the right people. In the context of an interview he was trying to talk about us, i guess, goes to elites and the liberal media. That is what he was talking about. That notion that all you have to do is hate the right people and that shows you are on the right side, that leads to dark places. Even in the context we should hates these liberal elites or whatever not treating us as well as they should, it opens the door of hatred to saying, lets not just hate them but lets hate the haitian immigrants and say its their fault that im not living the fulfilling life i need to be living. Its part of a Ideology And Worldview of maga that affected the whole thing. The cruelty is the point. I think the contrast between that and vance and Mike Dewine, im sure liberal viewers have different Policy Differences of the governor of ohio, but he is saying we have this Policy Concern and we need to do with this and the disruption and displacement. These people work hard and thats great. We went hard workers in this country and thats what america is about. That is one view of conservative governance they has been rejected by these guys and replaced by a view that makes hating the right people the most important thing. Or maybe heating is wrongful stop. If we had decency, compassion, and actual love for thy neighbor, its our only chance of moving forward. Its great to have you both here. I hate to leave you but i need to. I need some time to talk about Donald Trumps latest scam. He is launching his own crypto platform, and if you decide to dive in, buyer beware. We will get into it. To it. Normally i would tell you to turn up the volume but i dont want you to because i might scream. Donald trump is previously called cryptocurrency a scam, but in the last few months he is changed his tune and announced his own Crypto Exchange Platform called World Liberty financial. He explained how his sons got him interested in digital currency in an interview on Twitter Spaces tonight. I listened to it so you dont have to. Here is just a bit. My kids, i mean vera know so much about this. Baron is a young guy. He talks about his wallets. He has four wallets or something. He knows this inside, and eric and don know it so well. Its almost like younger people know it better than older people. I have a lot of respect for them. They have shown great judgment, all of them. He has four wallets. He has even been given the Company Title of chief to visionary. He is an 18yearold college freshman. Here to discuss, tim obrien and senior executive editor, investigative reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and bloomberg news. He wrote number go up inside cryptos wild rise. You have been reporting about this and what do we need to know . The details are pretty scant at this point. Shocking. One thing is ive looked into trumps Business Partner on this project. This guy, the guy who is the selfdescribed Dirt Bag . Oh, yeah. We have a clip of him talking about crypto. Would you like us to share it . I would like you to turn up the volume of the selfdescribed Dirt Bag, trumps Business Partner. You can sell [ bleep ] and i can, wrapped in his covered in Human Skin for 1 Billion if the story is right. People will buy it and thats whats going on in the crypto space. Im not going to question the Right And Wrong of that. All im saying is a Human Being you have the ability to make League Ton of money right now. Trump is right, the young people get it. Potential future next president and his, the internet dirt bike. This guy was at Maralago Tonight for the Twitter Spaces, and he has a weird resume. He was a Weed Dealer and went to Prison Ngata to online marketing. He was selling cleanses and then he had i should not have said that. Most recently hes been selling 149 a month get rich quick club. Now he is the trump crypto a row. On the spaces tonight, he was talking about hanging out with don jr. And eric. Hes the Prime Mover behind this World Liberty project, which is supposed to be up platform you can borrow and lend crypto. Supposedly one of the people baron learned crypto from his Martin Shkreli who just got out of prison for securities fraud. Tim, this is funny but it is not. Cryptocurrency is exactly where, its a dark place. There are huge positives and huge unknown negatives. Like everything around trump, its tragic comic. Its funny because it is observed and its funny because it seems to be a transparent scam, but its tragic because trump is using the public media and the platform he is on to perpetrate and hes running for president. If he wins the election will then hold great regulatory sway over the crypto market. He and his children are putting a Crypto Product out there in advance of Election Day that they can profit off massively if he becomes president. He doesnt bat an eyelash because its in keeping with who he has been for tickets. He ran a casino. May be the only person who couldnt make Rent Money running a casino business. Finding effective ways to park fools from their money. He ran trump university. He took advantage of the familys nonprofit. He has Run Griffiths off anything he can get close to and get a quick kid out of. Its not surprising hed be drawn to crypto. Its in the context of he is also running for president , so hes besmirching the office already. Thats why this is more dangerous. Who will lead her . The fact he could be the next president , stand to make a fortune off crypto, and he will decide who is the next Sec Chair and he made it clear he wants gary to hit the road. He got a lot of applause when he said that at the midpoint bitcoin conference. The guys are down on this new project. They loved it when trump was promoting their madeup coins but now that he has his own madeup coins they are alike, not so fast. We got the thing you are supposed to be talking up. Dont be discrediting our space with the new thing with weird Business Partners. Its not like Kamala Harris is anticrypto. She says i will look at it with fresh eyes and talking to people in the industry and current regulators. Its not like if youre for crypto coming trump is your boy but if youre anticrypto, here is should be crypto is a speculative play. Its not a replacement for currency. The evangelical kind of interest that surrounds crypto initially was this idea that it could replace the dollar you put in your wallet. There are no central banks and crypto. Theres no guarantor of Last Resort if things go south. Its a small network of people treating these things with one another and lofting it up, but trump, who could be president if reelected, is saying the Banking System and institutional banks and the architecture has been built to support currencies and to support reliable transactions isnt to be believed, and you should go along with him and invest in crypto. Thats your way out of the oppressive thumb of institutional bankers, and its unsophisticated. Its untested. Just a few years ago he said crypto is not money. Before you leave, want to talk about his stock. It is still down significantly from its highs, around 16 Bucks a share which from the heights it was, it has dropped enormously, but his stake is close to 2 billion. We are but a week away from the window opens where he can start selling. He got up in front of a Audience Headset i know the window was open it, but i dont intend to sell. I dont believe that, but we will see whats about to happen. Theres a lot of ways he could monetize that stock without technically selling. He could borrow against the Stock And Somebody could sell the hedge. He can still make money off the stock. The second he began selling it, the price will tank. It would probably still be pretty easy for Donald Trump to walk away from this with 100 Million in his pocket for having done absolutely nothing. If it was worth something, he didnt need Twitter Spaces tonight. If he wanted to pump up the company, the platform, he wouldve used truth social, but he didnt because its useless. And somebody comfortably wealthy and doesnt need to do any of these things is constantly getting close to Pump And Dump scams. Why . Because he can. Thank you both so much. Elon musk posts another controversial too. This about assassinations. I will speak to the author who wrote the book on how Elon Musk destroyed the platform.

Real weird. He was bad luck anyway. The Secret Service said its aware of a post by Elon Musk about No One attempting to assassinate President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. The post which he shared was responding to another user who asked, why did they want to kill Donald Trump . He replied No One is even trying to assassinate biden, and he later deleted the post and claimed it was a joke. For more, want to bring in a man who truly understands mr. Musk, Tech Reporter and co author of the new Book Character limit. How Elon Musk destroyed twitter. Its out tomorrow. You just wrote the book and now here we are. What do you think of that post . He said its just a joke. We have seen multiple examples of him shooting from the hip when he tweets. He doesnt think about these things ahead of time. He claims they are jokes, and this one went way too far. He is calling for asking was Someone Hasnt been assassinating the leader of the united states essentially. He claimed its a joke and claimed he set it in a smaller group and people laughed and he thought it would be a good idea to put it in the public in that was not the case. He felt the response, the backlash and deleted it. He and his companies are deeply entwined international response defense. Starlink, are you concerned . Its a big concern when you have one person controlling that many companies, that much power. Were talking billions of dollars in contracts with spacex. A company that has my monopoly over sending things into space. Theres really no option for the u. S. Government. It is bizarre for him to have that kind of power, and have those kinds of contracts with the u. S. Government and ask why No One has assassinated or tried to assassinate President Biden or Kamala Harris. He is involved and outspoken about politics. Clearly endorsing Donald Trump in talking about him all day, every day. One of the reasons could be Artificial Intelligence which in the next five to 10 years will change every aspect of our lives into one of her is the next president will be presiding over that regulation. He is entering the a. I. Race, musk, with the new factory. He says he wants to the Book Person to build the supercomputer and now npr is reporting this factory he has built has been cloaked in mystery and local officials from the Utility Company had to sign nondisclosure agreements. What do we need to know about this . How concerned should we be . A. I. Is everything. It is early stages. He was one of the founders of openai and has disagreed with the direction of that company and has started x a. I. With the basis of what he has at twitter or at x. He is building the foundation for that in memphis with this supercomputer. Thats using natural gas, oddly enough. A direct natural Gas Pipeline into it and its burning a lot of the gas and sending plumes into the air and hes trying to build up his part of the Arms Race as he fights with microsoft, openai, to build this company. Its a 24 Billion company and raise 6 Million in funding. He believes he should control the direction of a. I. In the country. Why has he become involved in politics, knowing what you know . I think he has portrayed himself as a centrist. He believes that as the world has shifted and become radicalized radicalize, he doesnt realize he has been radicalize. He has been radicalized by what he reads and told turn. Hes the most followed account on the platform, and every time he tweets he gets this reinforcing cycle that happens. He has surrounded himself with these advisers. Lets ask about Elon Musk and the platform because he paid 44 Billion for twitter. Since then, the Companys Revenue has dropped according to forbes, 84 . Any Wall Street analyst would say this was a failed Business Venture, but does he view it that way . As you said, he has more followers than anyone on the platform and has the biggest megaphone and his influence seems infinite because of it. From a business perspective, its been a failure. He would be the first to admit he overpaid. Does he regret it . Paying that much, yes. Internally, he values the company at 19 billion. Fertility marked it down further. That is a huge loss. Billions of dollars of value disappeared in less than two years. Billions of dollars to him and to you and i are very different things. For someone were 250 billion, thats not the end of the world. Knowing what you know, does he love owning this company even though its a humiliating financial loss, its not a big loss for ham and does he love being commanderinchief of this platform . Based on his tweets, one could think that. He does enjoy it. He spends a lot of time there. He is protecting, quote, free speech. It was not a Business Venture for him. He has run it that way. Its an ideological tool of his and he has controlled the algorithm and changed the moderation policies allows certain accounts back that were banned in the past and allow more hate speech. Thats how it has been. Someone has a big proponent of freedom of speech, you sent them over 500 questions for this book, and he responded to . None of them. We havent heard from him. Here you go. Thank you so much. 500 questions from this guy is waiting on you. Waiting on you. As Something Cad Osteoarthritis pain. Its joint pain that hurts him all the time. Come on, scout.
