Transcripts For FOXNEWS The Ingraham Angle 20240918

Tonight. It is staggering to believe that yesterday for second time in last few months an individual was planning to assassinate President Trump. Tonight well cover the story and political ramifications. We want to emphasize these attacks on President Trump represent a major threat to the american system. When she was shot in pennsylvania, i warned the night of the attempt on his life that the entire system that weve gotten accustomed to loving has gotten releasing all findings and recommendations. That did not happen and now we face the fallout from another attempted shooting. My Angle in moments. But first, start with what we know about this suspect. David Spunt Suspect standing by live with details. Ryan Wesley Routh is facing possession of firearm by a convicted felon and with a scratched off serial number. He is placed at the scene from 1 59 a. M. To 12 hours. There was a News Conference and they said it may be time to change the protective Play Book of the agency. Watch. Im confident we will achieve that. We dont have an alternative. Suc success, we having to have it everyday. We cannot have failures. To do that, well have hard conversations with congress. About funding, Director Rose said they need to look at Protective Methodology and get out of reactive model and get into a readiness model. The united states could get in a conflict where Secret Service need additional responsibilities. Investigators are looking through Ryan Wesley Rouths cell phone, gofro and his car. He lives in hawaii. The fbi says it does not appear Anyone Else was involved in his plans. Routh was laughing and looking around talking to his public defender. He says he understands his charges. These charges were enough for the government to keep him in custody. There were highlevel discussions to add more charges, these were quickest to write up. Rank and file praising the agent there one hole ahead of former President Trump who Saw A muzzle of a gun sticking out of the bushes and alerted them to the entire thing. Laura david, thank you. Last time the sloped roof, what was it this time . The Golf Course is surrounded by shrubbery. Laura old shrubbery, Darn L lands Landscapers Fault. Thank god an agent spotted the barrel sticking out of the bushes. What if he hadnt . There was this. He is not the president , security is limited to area Secret Service deems possible. Laura why hasnt he been given proper number of agents or told golfing in the open is unsafe until and unless he wins the presidency . I would machining next time he comes to the Golf Course there will be more people around the perimeter. Laura how comforting. Trumps life was in jeopardy because of failure to secure the area surrounding him. We have questions tonight. Joining me now is Chris Swecker and frank loverag. Frank, start with you, this video of President Golfing was taken six years ago. You see many photographers have gotten similar photos through the trees. Isnt this an obvious Vu Vulnerability and could it not have been raised before . Thank you for having me on, you are right. Protective operations and i have been to Andrews Air Force base golfing. You have a team going out in advance, Detail And Shift with the president and other tactical teams, as well, and a team behind you. You move throughout the golf as you proceed further there should have been a team, Csu Team moving with him to make sure there is nothing on the other side of the fence or in the shrubbery. He was there for 12 hours. He may not have been in the shrubbery, but in the area. Why wasnt he detected by a team doing the sweep . Did they just miss him . Laura i want to play Something Ronald rose said about Protective Methodology of the Secret Service. Watch. The subject who did not have line of sight to the former president fled the scene. He did not fire or get off any shots at our agents. With reports of gunfire, close Protection Detail evacuated the president to a safe location. Protective methodologies were effective yesterday. Laura chris, thoughts about that. It was effective series of methodologies. Every time the Acting Director goes on and lectures us about how effective their methodologies are, a lot of people get more and more skeptical. In this case, one alert secret Service Agent did the right thing and took the shot. If this is not a resource problem. He said they had all resources they needed out there. It is not a resource problem. Less than half of their budget is devoted to Protection Temperature is all about catching up with Todays Metho methodologies that are much more proactive and he pointed that out and blamed lack of resources. That is a cop out. Agencies deal with not enough resources all the time, you have to P Pry prioritize where resources need to go. Laura frank, when you look at the and i know this area well, ive been to this club a number of times. It seems to me it is fairly obviouses if it is not a wall, it will have a porous perimeter and it would seem again, if you cannot secure the perimeter of where the former president is, it wasnt effective. It is not the Landscapers Fault or trumps fault or this is a Br Breakdown in basic mission of the Secret Service and this Press Conference today, i was outraged by it. Patting Each Other on the back. Thank god we did see the muzzle. That guy should have never gotten in those bushes. Laura, he was 300 to 500 yards from the president , as the president progressed further, he would have been closer. Did they treat this as off movement and we also have on the Record Movement. Off the Record Movement is when we dont tell people were going there. He could have thought, it is sunday afternoon, President Trump will be at the Golf Course. We did not have the critical Race Theory resources, nobody would have spotted the assailant and we would have gotten him before he got to the street line. Laura simple question, chris, how many agents does Kamala Harris have with her . How many does trump have with him . Maybe the same number . Is that relevant given their different movement . She does not seem to go out in as many crowds as he does. Certainly does not golf. Those are basic questions. I dont believe we have answers to those and this is the second attempt on his life. Yeah, well never be given the numbers, they may give them to congress in closed session. It is not a resource issue, i will say again. This is methodology issue, this is a mindset, a leadership issue. Until we start looking at that, not sure we will see a lot of change. I go after the fbi in the same manner, it is leadership, leadership we deal with at the bureau. I dont like criticizing federal agencies but the mindset has to change. This is 2024 and things are different from 20 years ago. Laura Nut Bag Guy able to hide in ush abouts, bring backpacks, longrange weapon and could have got ebb a shot off. He did not have the president in his sights . That is supposed to make us feel better. Frank, does that make you feel better . And he was chased off . It does not. Did we have assets we needed . Did we have Helicopter And Flare involved . We could have pointed this person out. Were there drones flying in the area to pick this person up. These are assets the president s team gets. I was on detail, i president needs that. There is more threat against President Trump. We had an individual on July 12th arrested with ties to iran and more threats coming out against former President Trump, as well. We have to address the threat. Laura we have to get answers.

That Man Cannot See Public Office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated. Let me know who i have to vote for to keep hitler out of the White House. Talk to Social Media and highlighted language from nazi germany. This is unsurprising coming from the former president and it is afth ap appalling. Laura Angle warned about their rhetoric. Laura if he is Dictator Or Auto accurate, they called him hitler, they will justify anything to stopng hitler, of course, anything. Indeed Liz Cheney indicated Di Patriots need to step up and T Ensureak Donald trump does not t close to the White House again. I will do whatever it takes to make sure Donald Trump is t never near the Oval Office. Near make sure Donald Trump is nowhere near the Oval Office so ever i again, that commitment remains. I will do whatever i need to do to make sure that is the case. Laura whatever it takes. What does she mean by that . Clearl wy the accused Gunman Wa Ons with that. Vp rhetoric that has become increasingly accepted on the left since i really think starting in 2015. Now, obviously, Ryan Wesley Routh hasnt been convinced that the debate ended trumps chances. So it seems like he had to take matters into his own hands. I would think this guy was extremely motivated and probably spurred on by most of the political diatribes going on these days talking about trump, equating him to hitler and things like this. I dont think this is the last we will see of crazies out there doing this. Laura well, americans, i dont think want to believe that leaders in our government are asleep at the switch or even worse purposefully under estimating or stoking or even allowing real attempts on trumps life. But now there have been two incidents. Now, if someone is allowed to get near President Trump with a gun, it will be hard to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Meaning our faith in the government. And it brings to mind an old Ian Fleming Quote From The Book gold finger. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. Now, its gotten so bad that a sitting u. S. Senator is publicly expressing his deep reservations about the federal response. Utah Senator Mike Lee wrote On X thank you, governor desantis, for investigating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in florida. We Cant Trust the feds but we trust you. Well, lee is 100 percent justified in feeling this way. Think about this. Think about how little we know two months later about the first shooter, thomas crooks. He was killed by a sniper after he managed to gets off his own shots at Donald Trump. But, we know so little about him. Its like we dont even talk about it anymore. Anyone else find that odd . Is it unreasonable at this point for millions of americans to believe that the investigation is being slow walked . Or maybe purposefully stalled or information purposefully withhold . Now, as i said on the night of july 13th, just hours after trump was grazed by that bullet, in the absence of information, Conspiracy Theories continue to run wild. And rather than pushing for more information, demanding answers, our corporate media, well, it just makes matters worse. They will ignore, they will down play the danger posed by crazed leftists, claiming that even if the wannabe killers are repeating antitrump mantras, that doesnt mean its in any way connected to Kamala Harris. We dont know much about this guy yet at all. Other than he was somebody who was trying to find a way in his mid to late 50s go and serve on the front lines of ukraine and he obviously had some antitrump posts. But, that has nothing to do with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden it. Has to do with the fact that this is his political belief. Laura now, why is it, dana Bashs Job to try to defend the Harriswalz Campaign here . She crashed and burned when she tried to debate j. D. Vance over the weekend. This was even worse. So, isnt she i think, supposed to be an objective anchor who is supposed to figure out the truth . Maybe ask the Harris Campaign if they would like to reconsider how they answered this question after the first Assassination Attempt. How is the rhetoric changed in light of the Assassination Attempt with being here at the rnc and representing the Dnc And Bidenharris administration. It hasnt changed. Laura it hasnt changed. Trump is still a dictator in waiting. It was disappointing but not surprising. Then we heard at the dnc and at the debate Kamala Harris insisted that she would reach out and try to bring the country together. We are charting a new way forward. We are all in this together. In unity there is strength. It is important that we move forward, that we turn the page on this same old tired rhetoric and address the needs of the american people. Laura but saturday all we got from her was a tepid, rather generic sounding statement released on Social Media. Well, today who has little better political judgment than harris was a little more emphatic underline a little bit. Let me just say there is no and i mean this from the bottom of my heart those of you who know me. No place for political violence in america. None. Zero. Never. [applause] i have always condemned political violence. I always will in america. In america we resolve our difference peacefully at the Ballot Box not at the end of a gun. Laura but none of this is enough. After all a year ago biden himself was taking the temperature up. Allowing the Doj Go Wild and after trump. All this stuff President Trump and Dark Brandon and still biden is out. Haters i think she is still making the same mistake he did. Maga forces are determined to take this country backwards. They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence. That are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law. To the very soul of this country. Laura now, how sick is that looking back . Trump was fanning the flames of violence . Where exactly at the Prohamas Protest or was he doing that after the George Floyd or justice kavanaughs home . I was thinking about this today. If harris and biden really want to end the Conspiracy Theories bring the country together, all this unity stuff. Harris needs to make a much more vigorous stance here. And do you know what would speak volumes . Why not invite former President Trump to the White House could all meet in the oval, an Executive Decision has been made to ensure that Donald Trump has all the protection he would have if he were a sitting president of the united states. S The Up shot from Biden And Harris would be be we are all americans. If you attack one of us, you attack all of us. There are 45 people who have held the office of presidency, trump is one of them. He and all americans need to know that we are 100 percent committed to ensuring his safety and his security. His Running Mate is Vice President harris and walz, all of them must be safe. Maybe at times say our rhetoric has got too heated. Bee should tone that down, too. And of course say we are going to be totally transparent. Expedite all investigations with factual conclusions not political conclusions and recommendations that are clear and accountability that is just unquestionable. Nowrges were not going to do this in months. Were going to do this in weeks. And why not say this is america, the voters must be the ones who determine the outcome in november. Not an assassins bullet, period. Now, given that the also have to dial back their own trump is a Dictator Nonsense this probably wont happen. But it should both sides can make it about the issues but its not just the election thats at stake here. How this moment is handled effects the credibility of the entire u. S. Government if harris were smart and i know that might be a big ask. Her number one priority would be to make it known nationally and throughout the world that everything in the federal Governments Power will be done will be done to keep Donald Trump safe. And thats the Angle. Joining n. I. E. Me now Missouri Senator Josh hawley. Senator today, the u. S. Secret service and other officials came out and said that the methodologies that were put in place on sunday were effective. The shooter did not get the president in his line of sight. He was chased off and he was apprehended. And your response . Well, i dont know how you can say its effective when the shooter was able to be there on that Golf Course for 12 hours, laura. This is a course that the president pl
