To Scott Jennings…..two of the assassination “attempts” were from right wingers, not “left wing radicals”.

Yep, I thought the same thing as soon as that statement left his mouth. Then I exclaimed, “ You’re so full of shit. What a liar and bullshitter. “

You can’t scream fire in a crowded theater and then complain about the chaos that results.

Leftwing radicals! MAGA arrogance and incompetence (doubly dangerous combination) almost hoping for some scene allowed an action of incredible magnitude. What if besides multiple knives and guns this guy had had a hand-grenade?

It is amazing. The Trumpistas, lead by Lord Trump, blame the attempted assassinations on the building rather than the security guard or his failures as a human being and president; more amazing is that so many fall for it hook line and sinker.

It was so telling that Trump automatically assumed the would-be assassins references to rapists and pedophiles were aimed at him.

Steve I can't tell you how much this piece means to me. You said it all . That we are subjected to this in our country is beyond the beyond. Robert Pape a Professor from the University of Chicago was on MSNOW . I was stunned . He went on and on about how there is violence on both sides and Hakeem and Trump should go onto the WH Lawn and make a united front talking about the violence and putting a stop to it. It's nuts . No one wants someone on the left to hurt anyone . But to insist that what is happening is equal. Nope .. NO NO NO. The shithead incites his base just about everyday .. It doesn't end .. And twising what Hakeem said on CNN and not calling Jennings out on it makes my blood boil. But last night MSNOW the three anchors said nothing to Robert Pape. I understand that he has spent years researching the issue and has a book coming out but come on. I feel like we are being gaslighted by MSNOW too.. Somebody do something. Thank You for the Warning.. lost in america

Thank you Steve for telling it like it is. Totally corrupt, lying, evil pieces of 💩. All of them.

I agree with you... This administration has been a pig piece of💩 since the very beginning.

Cheeto Getting Propaganda Off Attempt: Was It Staged?

The Hinchley 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan caused a significant, immediate "sympathy boost" in his polling numbers. His approval rating jumped by 8 to 13 points, reaching roughly 68% to 70% by May 1981

So out of all the years never attending the WHCD event Cheeto decides to show up? Probably a multipronged rationale but….

Conspiracy Theory: The Nazi Republicans stage an assassination attempt much like Cheeto staged the event of the 2016 Golden Escalator at Cheeto Tower by paying volunteers to cheer him on They're desperate with such low polling This attempt had no chance of being pulled off with the security around the event so could Cole Thomas Allen been bought off by Cheeto to stage the attempt?? It will really get looney if Cheeto pardons him

Although Allen belonged to 2 student Christian groups while in high school and at CalTech, Cheeto has gone on record that the shooter “hates Christians” hoping to get a “sympathy” boost in his terrible polling numbers with the Christian evangelical group Allen had no party affiliation so we don’t know how he voted(he donated $25 to ActBlue in 2024) Was he a disgruntled Republican voter? With such a fraudster, liar, and cheat it would not be surprising the Nazi Republicans would do anything to use this WHCD event as propaganda about which they know all too well

Oh boo hoo. Miss me with their f* TRAUMA...I wonder what the little kids at Sandy Hook felt while they were being slaughtered by a gunman. 🤔 I wonder what the kids at Uvalde felt like right before they were gunned down. 🤔....and on and on and on...we abuse kids. Sexually. Psychologically. We rape them, incinerate them, KILL them dead. The people in this country...this USA (Number 1! We're number 1!). Entitled. Greedy. Selfish. Violent. Deadly. This country, this sick twisted culture, deserves to collapse.

I see this country filled with hardworking, aspirational people minding their own business. However, no matter what the substance, the scum does rise to the surface.

Thank you for The Warning today. I learn much from you each day, and from other independent journalists ..... but I disagree that there weren't good, searching journalists there that night at the dinner. My go-to TV channel is MS NOW, who holds trump to account (not morning joe, who is a patsy and enamored with his own voice and toadie Mika). Today is Monday, my favorite day, when I can listen to Rachel >> Lawrence. Rachel tells us historical stories, and allows us to draw our conclusions about present news. And as a news organization, they hold trump and other politicians, to account.

So typical of trump, to draw everything that happened back to the ballroom, and how we NEED it for safety. I knew it was coming, ... but boy, was he fast to say it! A physical barrier should have been put up before the magnitron was removed. I agree that the secret service was not up to par -- but I'm confused -- aren't they the same guys that work there now, as before, with Biden & Obama? They aren't "trump guys," are they?

The total incompetence of every one of trump's picks, is mind-blowing! ..... we need them all impeached now. Being a child raised in a military family, I am particularly appalled by hegseth -- christian nationalism FORCED down the throats of the military sitting in front of him, and firing all those competent, excellent military, for no cause, .... when they know more about war and discipline in their pinkies, than he will ever know. I'm sure he still drinks. We shouldn't BE in his ego-war, but we need good scientific expert negotiators, to get us out now (and I hear, Russia may be the repository of Iran's nuclear fuel???!!! Lord help us)

All the egregious things trump has done, like the "Jesus healer" picture, and trying to tell the Pope, for christs sake, about theology, ..... each day brings too much to cover, and comment on. This is overlong -- sorry. I love my country, and want to be part of the fix before I die. Leavett blaming the Left for violence, when trump's MAGA words are violent ........................ it's enough to make Jesus weep.

He’ll be dead by the time the ballroom is built His health is rapidly declining!! It takes years to complete a structure! Concrete must get to strength to

Proceed. He should know this.

. Will he try to stiff the contractors as he had done with his own buildings? Cost overuns happen but of course he'll have suckers to

Pay for it!

Dear Scott Jennings up until now all the assassination attempt's including Charlie Kirk, were Republicans or came from Republican families. Do you ever get your facts right? You're such a dumb ass and if I were a Republican I would be totally embarrassed by you.

The coverage of the meeting of journalists and trump/Miller/Vance and cabinet heads was obscene. After, trump/MAGA call all journalists who don't agree with their conspiracies and lies "hacks," work for "fake news," calls females in particular "stupid," "piggy," shuts journalists and news media people out of news conferences, Hegseth puts chains on journalists at the Pentagon, requires loyalty oath of sorts and tries to hide information the public is entitled to know. Journalists cozy up to fascist, racist, misogynistic, crude, indecent trump and his administration. Where is their morality, honor, ability to withstand pushback for the sake of somethings much larger than themselves. AND the wall to wall coverage about the lack of security, trump's ballroom paid for by secret, foreign donors? failed to even mention our flood of guns and weapons of war. There are more guns than people in the USA. No other developed nation has the number of gun, gun deaths, mass shootings in schools, churches, supermarkets, concerts, large gatherings of soft target people. GOP/MAGA consider their loss of easy access, open carry, AK 47's and the imposition of safe gun laws and national databases MORE IMPORTANT than the regular people who risk their lives everyday by leaving their homes and the children/adults who die by the thousands from gun toting gangs, raging males, people who hate whomever it is at the moment of delivery death, injury to innocent, unsuspecting people. trump/VIP's/political people get special protections on the defenseless TAXPAYERS, wealthy can hire protection. They have to live in peril similar to We the People to do something about GUNS and LAWS. Even SCOTUS won't allow AK47's or fast firing rifles to be subjected to the same laws as 1930's machine guns though they are both weapons of war and can kill hundreds in a minute. WE are not OK with a ballroom, bunkers, troops protecting everyone but WE the PEOPLE. Steve, you are 25 years younger than me but we seem to have come out of the same mold.

The evening news tonight covered the MAGA demands to tone down the rhetoric and the Trumps’ demand for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired (again) but did not cover Trump’s meltdown with Norah O’Donnell. Corporate media killed themselves.

Thanks Steve for covering all these points. We will see who really gets it— surely no one who was in the room
