[00:04:06]>> You can't handle the truth.

[00:04:16]>> KLW World News coming to you live here this evening. There is a lot going on.

[00:04:22]There's even more going on in this story. I want to give you a recap of what happened yesterday when the Secret Service uh assistant director came out and said, "Hey, we just thwarted a terrorist attack against America 250." Additionally, there is additional information in regards to this. Let's do the recap first.

[00:05:04]>> Good morning. My name is Matt Quinn. I'm the deputy director at Secret Service.

[00:05:08]I'm joined by uh Chief of Secret Service Police, Richard McCauley, and Assistant Chief Secret Service Police, Andrew Ackley.

[00:05:16]Happy to take any your questions on this shooting this morning or any other subjects.

[00:05:26]We're here to support MPD. Uh we're very close to our foreign missions branch.

[00:05:30]Many people don't realize that one of Secret Service's missions is to patrol our our foreign diplomats, foreign dignitaries here in the region. The unit's called foreign missions. So, we are patrolling this area along with MPD all the time.

[00:05:46]>> Could you talk about the FBI announcing that it thwarted uh a Yeah, I will.

[00:05:58]Um I'll tell you a phrase I learned early in my career in the New York Field Office, and that's don't choke on your own smoke.

[00:06:06]Anyone that believes that case was worked in a bubble is naive. I'll tell you the Secret Service led that investigation from the beginning.

[00:06:14]I'll tell you that it's ongoing.

[00:06:16]In order to maintain the integrity of the investigation and the security plan, we chose not to leak it.

[00:06:28]Look, it's it was a serious threat. We take all threats uh of uh uh a large nature very seriously, and we investigate them until we can validate 100% that it's no longer a threat. It was an active plot, and it's ongoing.

[00:06:47]They were planning to attack the Freedom 250. Uh some of what you read this morning's accurate. I'm not going to get into too many details because, like I said, this is still an active ongoing investigation. Just because we're done with the Freedom 250 or or that particular event, doesn't mean we're going to stop. There are still suspects at large, and we're going to work it until everyone's been identified.

[00:07:18]I'd say it was unique due to the numbers involved, the level of planning involved. Thankfully, our Advanced Threat Interdiction Unit got on top of it very early, involved partners. You know, this the working these cases is a whole of government. They don't happen in a bubble.

[00:07:37]Um but it it was an active plot. Yes, involving purported claimed to be planned to use drones, snipers, etc. >> When you say numbers involved, how many people are you talking about involved in this type of plotting and how early was this plotting stopped?

[00:07:55]>> I'm not going to comment on how many involved cuz like I said, it still is an active investigation. I will tell you that we've seen a a significant increase in threat cases. We're up 40% this year in threat cases.

[00:08:07]>> And so you say it's an active plot. How How realistic is it that they could have carried it out?

[00:08:14]>> I'm not going to comment on on reality or or realism of being able to carry it out. What I'll tell you is we're going to take every threat on its face. If you say you're going to do it, we're going to believe you until we can prove otherwise.

[00:08:27]>> Did you Was there ever consideration or talk about canceling the event as a result of this plot?

[00:08:33]>> No. Uh you may have noticed or the city may have noticed some some pretty extreme security measures, road closures that were maybe more than normal. Those were largely due to our great partners at MPD and the mayor's office that we have to work with in order to execute the overall security plan.

[00:08:52]Um we we did a lot and we're 100% confident that we knew locations, level of planning, level of response. The event itself, I am confident in saying was never at risk due to the great investigative work.

[00:09:08]>> Was it tips or technology? I mean, what What brought you to them?

[00:09:11]>> A little bit of everything.

[00:09:13]>> Any materials, equipment have been confiscated?

[00:09:16]>> I'm going to hold on that and just say yes.

[00:09:19]>> You mentioned the belief that we could be individuals who are working together.

[00:09:25]>> Not at this time. I I want to maintain the integrity of the investigation and we will put it out at the right time.

[00:09:31]>> One more question, guys.

[00:09:32]>> The department chose not to release this.

[00:09:35]What do you mean by that? And are you also saying that you have to tell the public? that >> I'm not going to comment on who or what.

[00:09:42]I'm going to tell you that we, the Secret Service, made a a conscious decision to maintain the integrity of the security plan and the ongoing investigation.

[00:09:51]>> You said something about snipers. Can you elaborate on that? So, this was drones and snipers?

[00:09:57]>> Uh and and other other techniques that they were plotting to attack the event.

[00:10:03]Again, the event was never at risk, period.

[00:10:08]>> And again, how early did you guys first find out about this?

[00:10:12]>> Enough time to make sure we could guarantee the event was safe.

[00:10:15]>> Some months?

[00:10:16]>> Not quite that much. One more.

[00:10:19]>> Can you please tell us about the work your agents and officers did?

[00:10:25]>> Hold on that one one second. I'm sorry.

[00:10:27]>> If they were arrested, what would they be charged?

[00:10:29]>> Um there have been arrests, not going to comment on charges or numbers. Last one.

[00:10:34]Last one right here.

[00:10:35]>> What do you want to say about the the work your agents and officers did to help thwart this attack?

[00:10:40]>> Well, look, the men and women in the Secret Service are tremendous every single day.

[00:10:47]You all know the level of incidents we've had in this city and around the country in the last [snorts] 12 to 48 months.

[00:10:55]Um they're doing tremendous work.

[00:10:57]They're working day and night.

[00:10:59]I I'm going to assure you many of them did not sleep until the early early mornings of yesterday and are back at it again today. They're doing great work.

[00:11:09]Thank you all very much. Thank you.

[00:11:16]>> All right, so we got more here.

[00:11:19]Welcome back into the live now from Fox.

[00:11:20]I'm Ryan Shemells. We're going to take this tweet right now from Bill Melugin, which is the latest here from the alleged plot that happened over the weekend related to the White House UFC event here, breaking details via federal arrest affidavit reveal that a California man named Michael Allen Thomas was one of the alleged organizers of the alleged UFC White House terror plot. Feds say he attempt admitted he believes the US government is run by elites who sacrifice and eat children, had involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, and are protected by President Trump.

[00:11:55]Investigators took screenshots of his signal chats in which details of the plot were discussed and maps of the UFC event were shown with suggestions on where snipers should be placed. All Feds also recovered rifles and ammo. Sources tell colleague David Spunt those in custody are American citizens and there is no foreign nexus believed to be at play. Now, we're going to go and bring in Robert Garland. He's a former NYPD detective and sir, what do you make of where this plot stands right now? What has been revealed so far by the FBI related to it?

[00:12:35]>> The biggest takeaway with modern law enforcement and counterterrorism is you know, how the public often judges us, how things are done after the fact.

[00:12:44]They don't really look at things or anything what goes into the investigatory process before this. So, to prevent an attack, to prevent something like that with the tweet that's going on, you know, you really got to command the FBI, local law enforcement, and all the different jurisdictions that work together to to really prevent an event from happening.

[00:13:01]>> And and I think it stands out too that yes, it appears that whatever law enforcement tactics were used here, whatever was was utilized, it worked because this plot was foiled. If it did happen, it did not really make it into the public eye until days later.

[00:13:17]But of course, there's just this heightened threat environment and this concerning threat environment, you know, where you got the conflict in Iran ongoing, but also the fact that we've seen numerous assassination attempts against President Trump, including one not that long ago at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

[00:13:33]>> Yes, I mean I believe Kash Patel said it best. He said they're prepared and they're ready to make sure that we're defending against anything that comes in, any types of threats to protect the US citizen, right? And I worked in narcotics for a long time. I was NYPD for a long time. And anything that we did, before we did any types of search warrants, any investigatory process, we were going behind the scenes for a long time, whether it be a month, six months, a year, to make sure that our team was safe, all the citizens around us were safe when we were executing any types of warrants. So, you know, you again, you really got to commend everyone that went into these investigations to make sure that this, you know, attack was stopped and prevented. And people think about Oh god, I'm sorry.

[00:14:14]>> I was going to say I go ahead finish your point actually.

[00:14:18]>> What I was going to say, you know, 20 years ago, the biggest threat that we had walking into an event such as the UFC 250 were metal detectors, right?

[00:14:24]Walking in metal detectors, that's all people were concerned about if someone was carrying something in. But now you have to be prepared beforehand. There's encrypted messages going on, there's Facebook messages, Instagram, apps, total all these different encrypted messages going around and these people planning things behind the scenes and that's where the FBI, Secret Service and agencies work together to prevent something like this from happening.

[00:14:45]>> And what do you think stands out to you so far about the details that have been released by the FBI?

[00:14:51]>> I mean, listen, they're going to release whatever release >> Okay, and I got to get back to the uh uh poll I did here about Jack. 15 people said they didn't uh like Jack, but only one or two put a comment in. If if if you have the balls to say you don't like something, but you don't have the balls to say why, well, I'm going to be honest with you, you're a [ __ ] [ __ ] Okay? If you can't even tell me why you don't like something, I mean, let's let's get real here, people.

[00:15:22]And And And let me explain something.

[00:15:25]I'm almost 60 years old.

[00:15:27]I'm trying to keep track of over 43,000 objects that I'm tracking worldwide simultaneously.

[00:15:37]I used to be good.

[00:15:38]I could probably track probably 30,000 of those and talk about them fluently.

[00:15:45]But 7 years ago, I had a heatstroke that well, kind of scrambled my brain. And it's hard to keep track of 43,000 different targets that are being updated daily.

[00:15:58]So, I am trying to train track train Jack to be able to monitor those 43,000 locations and me to be able to query him about those 43,000 locations and then give him about 10 terabytes of memory to keep track of what we cover in the news.

[00:16:18]What did Putin say last year? What did Linchinko say last year? Hey, Jack, go back and get me that quote of what Linchinko said about invading across the Sulwalki Gap. Oh, by the way, Jack, what day was that? That's what I want to use Jack for. That's what I'm training Jack for. So, if you don't understand that, I'm sorry. I'm trying to improve the quality of the information and the speed of which we can glean that to you and the ability to recover all of that in real time. So, if you don't understand what I I'm trying to create Jack, well, maybe you will now. You also need to understand that I've dedicated a year of my life and thousands of dollars and thousands of hours to create the Jack that comes here on this broadcast and is my co-host periodically. So, I'm going to do this poll again and I want to see if I get the same votes.

[00:17:19]And if I do, well, then I want you to put into the chat why you don't like Jack.

[00:17:24]And if you don't, well, >> Nothing for you.

[00:17:32]>> whatever information they need to release just to appease the public, right? So, we then not going to release everything that goes into the investigatory process. What what's being actually protected, what was actually stopped beforehand. But again, you have to commend them for everything that they're doing.

[00:17:46]>> And and and and I think I would question you on what kind of stands out to you about what went into the nexus here or what was kind of a part of this plot? Is there anything that stands out to you that might be concerning or do you think there could be possibly other people potentially arrested down the road related to this?

[00:18:01]>> I mean, listen, it's it could be an event where they're trying to cause a public stir to see how the public reacts to it, to see how the FBI reacts to it, the Secret Service, and local law enforcement. And there could be something else down the line, sure. But again, FBI, Secret Service, local law enforcement, everyone's working together behind the scenes right now to make sure that something like this does not happen. And if arrests are made down the line, the news may never even hear about it.

[00:18:23]>> Yeah. And and and and I think what's what's interesting about this one, too, and what's concerning about this one, too, this was a huge event, it was a sporting event at the White House. So, you have the the political factor involved with this, but you also have the athletic factor involved in this, too. And we should probably remind everyone that the People World Cup is currently ongoing. So, there are not just one major sporting event going on.

[00:18:42]This is numerous sporting events at some of the United States' most populous cities happening right now as we talk.

[00:18:49]>> [clears throat] >> Yeah, I mean, these events are great.

[00:18:50]You know, it's fantastic what went on at the UFC 250 at the White House. It's fantastic what's going on with FIFA Cup, with the Knicks even, everything that went on. But again, we have to commend our law enforcement officers, the first responders that are on scene protecting everybody there. I wouldn't say that anybody should be concerned going to any of these events. You know, the FBI, Secret Service, everyone has it under control. You know, I have faith in them, and I'm sure a lot of the American public does as well.

[00:19:13]>> And what what impressed you the most about about how they were able to foil this alleged plot and and and and what kind of went into this to stopping it?

[00:19:20]Obviously, we don't know all the details yet. The FBI's probably still got to come out and and kind of give us the play-by-play of how this was stopped.

[00:19:26]But we do have [laughter] a a decent amount of information from the arrest affidavits and what's been released so far. But what do you think it would stands out about what how the FBI was able to foil this that stands out to you?

[00:19:38]>> I mean again, I don't have I'm not privy to all the information that came out, right? Only what the news has what you guys have right right here and that's in the public eye. But for me as a former and retired NYPD detective that works complex investigations, I know what really goes on behind the scenes. I know how deep it is and what is actually happening. So, you know, you just have to commend all the hard work that they're doing and they're working together because a lot of planning happens to just work together with different agencies. I worked with HSI, I worked with DEA and NYPD all at the same time for a large-scale wiretap investigation that I did almost 10 years ago. So, I know what goes on behind the scenes and you know, they're making sure everyone's protected and everyone's safe.

[00:20:15]>> And I think something interesting too about some of these terror plots that have been foiled in the last couple years is we talk a lot about the the problems that social media creates and the problems and the the divisiveness and even sometimes the radicalization that happens on social media from terror organizations. [clears throat] But at the same time too, some of these suspects have really mailed out what they're doing and given investigators more evidence >> Hello everyone, I'm Major Garrett in Washington. Welcome to the takeout.

[00:20:42]Let's face it.

[00:20:43]>> I thought he was a sergeant.

[00:20:44]>> These are dangerous times.

[00:20:46]Rhetoric, weapons, encrypted places where plotters can recruit and assume they can hide.

[00:20:53]All appear present and more than mildly alarming in a plot thwarted by federal law enforcement to attack the UFC fights on the South Lawn of the White House.

[00:21:03]Five suspects thus far have been arrested. They face an array of federal charges up to and including conspiracy to commit murder.

[00:21:12]The evidence, of course, will be tested in court, but affidavits today allege the plot envisioned drone attacks to force spectators from the White House South Lawn into public spaces where snipers would then, it is alleged, attack.

[00:21:29]The motives, diffuse.

[00:21:32]Opposition to billionaires, suspicion of a Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, hostility to data centers, hostility to US support for Israel, hunger for anti-government revolution.

[00:21:44]Matt Quinn, Deputy Director of the Secret Service, spoke to reporters today at a separate incident here in Washington.

[00:21:51]>> Look, it's it was a serious threat. We take all threats of a large nature very seriously and we investigate them until we can validate 100% that it's no longer a threat. It was an active plot and it's ongoing.

[00:22:08]>> Investigators got a tip from a family member of one of the suspects charged.

[00:22:12]That head start allowed federal agents to get their arms around the plot and beef up security. Canceling the UFC event was, we are told, never seriously considered.

[00:22:24]>> I'm not going to comment on on reality or or realism of being able to carry it out. What I'll tell you is we're going to take every threat on its face. If you say you're going to do it, we're going to believe you until we can prove otherwise.

[00:22:39]>> This is a multi-layered story and it is still unfolding. For what we know at this hour, let me bring in Justice Department reporter Jake Rosen. So, Jake, what do we know?

[00:22:48]>> Well, we know that five people are currently in federal detention and custody as a result of this plot, which seemed to come together in the last couple of months, but really in the last week or so. About a week and a half ago, these group members who met on TikTok originally then shifted to Signal and then to another different messaging app, all started to discuss what they would do to move and quote jump-start, in the words of one of these men in a message, the crisis in the United States to amplify the failures of President Trump and to call >> a second revolution in their terminology.

[00:23:22]>> this over a number of attacks in the US in the last couple of months. It's to accelerate whether it is a race war or potential future problems between political parties. An event like this built for America's 250th celebration, no matter what you think of actually having the event >> Basically a crisis in government of some kind that would dislodge a lot of other energy and maybe bring the whole thing down.

[00:23:43]>> Exactly. And what we know is that there was enough action taken in this plan that at least for one >> Right, Greg. Guys, but what you have to understand is I'm trying to improve the amount of data that I can bring to you in real time.

[00:23:57]I still want to speak to you. I still want to ask the questions. I still want to give you the information. I'm using it as an aid. Additionally, I have no plans for it graduating. It will be my assistant forever. How many of you have watched the show Buck Rogers or the movie Buck Rogers in the 21st century?

[00:24:17]Do you remember Dr. Theopolis? That was the round thing that Twiggy carried around.

[00:24:23]Who is Twiggy? Do you do you do you do you do you? Go get him. Buck.

[00:24:27]Remember that? Okay, I'm trying to create that Dr. Theopolis that gives me all the information there in one place.

[00:24:35]So, is that when you guys have questions or I have questions, well, guess what? I can ask Jack and he'll go get them for me. Now, and I to have Jack actually be the co-host, I have been working on what's called a persona for over a year.

[00:24:50]That's how Jack thinks. That's where Jack gets his information from and that's how Jack replies to me. And if Jack doesn't have the answer, he won't say anything.

[00:25:00]So, he has to double-check everything, and if he's wrong, well, guess what? I'm going to call his ass out, and then what what he was wrong about we'll put in the persona to make sure that he doesn't do it again.

[00:25:11]So, I'm trying to make it so as that uh >> [clears throat] >> so as that I can gather the information and manipulate the information. I've got 43,000 locations on just one map, and I want to be able to correlate that information. I want to be able to see the updates in that information. I want to know how much was spent to build that infrastructure. I want to know all of these things, and I'm one man. I can't do all these calculations, do all that research and everything, and then try to keep all that in my head or look it up anytime I have a question. The only way I can do that is through AI.

[00:25:50]Come on.

[00:25:52]If you're going to be like that.

[00:25:55]Okay.

[00:25:58]So, that's why.

[00:26:09]Well, that's a two-way street. No, Arnold, I never accused you of being a lesbian cross-dresser. So, it's not a two-way street.

[00:26:22]So, it's not the same.

[00:26:26]And this is Luna.

[00:26:28]I think she's a miniature Wookiee.

[00:26:33]So, um yeah, Jack has my directives.

[00:26:41]She.

[00:26:42]She.

[00:26:43]She's actually supposed to be black.

[00:26:44]She's supposed to be solid black dog.

[00:26:47]You see that that's not the case.

[00:26:53]So, yeah, it's Luna. It's actually my dog, my wife's dog, but you can see where she's at.

[00:27:02]She likes me, too.

[00:27:04]Yeah, it's an it's it's I don't know, Ewok. It's more like a Wookie.

[00:27:09]She kind of looks like Chewbacca.

[00:27:13]All right, so any questions here? I did want to bring this in with General Jack Keane on what's going on in Iran.

[00:27:27]>> military presence in Lebanon. Iran is signaling there is no final agreement without Israeli withdrawal. Iranian Foreign Minister saying until then, the war has not fully ended. Israel rejecting that demand outright, insisting its forces will stay as long as the threat from Hezbollah remains.

[00:27:44]For more on this, we are joined by retired four-star General Jack Keane.

[00:27:47]He's the chairman of the Institute of War or excuse me, the Institute for the Study of War. He's also a Fox News senior strategic analyst. General, as always, great to see you.

[00:27:58]>> Yeah, good. Delighted to be here, Bill.

[00:28:00]So, um, Vice President J.D. Vance has been going around different media tours recently talking about what is and isn't in this deal. He says part of the agreement is that nuclear inspectors will be able to go back into Iran and verify that they aren't restarting their program. Take a listen.

[00:28:17]>> Will nuclear inspectors be allowed back in?

[00:28:20]>> Yes, absolutely. That's in fact one of the core parts of the agreement is that the IAEA and the United States are going to help Iran destroy the highly enriched stockpile, and that's something that's spelled out very clearly in the MOU.

[00:28:34]>> Is there a date? Has a date been set on when inspectors will be allowed into Iran?

[00:28:39]>> Well, that's one of the things we're going to talk about on Friday.

[00:28:43]>> General, you heard him say that they're going to help the IAEA and the US destroy the enriched uranium. In your opinion, do you think it's realistic that Iran is ever going to let the US get in there and and either take that uranium out or destroy it, or is that wishful thinking?

[00:29:00]>> Well, we don't know for sure. I mean, obviously that's our intent and we got the right intent here. Listen, and we have got to be part of the inspection team.

[00:29:09]The Iran has so manipulated the IAEA through the years that I don't have a lot of faith in them to be frank. And and what it's got to be it it's got to be anywhere, anytime inspections. What the inspection protocol was about in the past is Iran defined where to inspect, when they would inspect, and how long to inspect. And then when we had information through intelligence sources that we fed to the IAEA and told them, "Look it, there's a secret site over here that we you should have access to because we believe something is being developed there in terms of enrichment or there's advanced centrifuges there or whatever it was." And in all those cases that intelligence was likely very good.

[00:29:52]And guess what? Iran said, "No deal.

[00:29:55]You're that's not part of the protocol."

[00:29:57]So, we have to be on the ground. It has to be driven by our and the Mossad's intelligence apparatus. And we go any place we want, when we want, for as long as we want. And if we can't do that, we don't have verification.

[00:30:13]And we have to have verification. This idea that somehow we may be dealing with a different regime and its behavior is something we're going to be able to adjust to and accommodate is an absolute absurdity.

[00:30:28]This is a diabolical, tyrannical regime.

[00:30:32]And and they they are clearly [snorts] feel the pressure on them from the United States military operations. Just last week two bombing camp campaigns to get them to this deal and obviously the economic warfare that the blockade and what Secretary Besson is doing which is extraordinary. They feel all of that pressure. But [snorts] believe me, the nature of the regime has not changed and we have got to be clear-eyed in dealing with these guys. What they say and what they do are two different things. They cannot be trusted. We have to enforce compliance.

[00:31:08]>> To your point about all that pressure, obviously hindsight is 20/20, but do you think President Trump should have ever entered into that ceasefire back in April or should he have just kept his pedal to the metal, wiped out all their military targets to to keep up maximum pressure with this with the with these negotiations?

[00:31:26]>> Yeah, I definitely feel that is what we should have done. We had two weeks to go 25% of the targets.

[00:31:32]We really had significant pressure. We could have finished the offensive operation, accomplished the assigned mission, and then began the defensive operation to open the Straits of Hormuz. And I think people at the time were very concerned about the Straits. A single drone is going to stop the operation being successful.

[00:31:51]>> [snorts] >> That [clears throat] is completely unfounded. I think now that they've seen us work through a lane there and have a lot of success with it and defeat everything that's come at them. I mean, we haven't seen a fast boat in like 4 weeks because we defeated all the fast boats that came at at it and same thing with the drones. We could have done that operation and I think in hindsight >> [snorts] >> people will recognize that's what we should have done and just continued the military operation, but that's not where we are. There's no sense looking in the rearview mirror here. What we need to make certain of we're on a diplomatic path, let's get the strongest possible diplomatic solution to this that we can.

[00:32:31]This best deal. President Trump knows how to get a good deal. There's There's a lot of stuff flying around about >> [clears throat] >> what's wrong with the deal and particularly the negotiating positions.

[00:32:41]Not all of that has come from Iran.

[00:32:44]My have friends in the media who I trust and their sources were impeccable in terms of people in the administration that had some concerns about our negotiating positions and those things were flying around as well.

[00:32:58]The administration has absorbed that certainly and I think we're on a path here but we got to be really tough and know who we're dealing with in Iran.

[00:33:08]We've got them on their knees and let's finish this as much as we possibly can using a very strong deal with Iran to get the original of as much of the original objectives achieved here as we can.

[00:33:22]>> Yeah. Well, we'll see if we finally get some clarity of what's in this deal on Friday so we don't have to speculate on on leaks anymore to your point. General Jack >> Ah.

[00:34:00]There we go. Now we got it. Sorry guys.

[00:35:41]Welcome aboard.

[00:35:43]Um anyway, we're going to be doing more breaking news. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to do Let me ask that here uh right now. Let me finish this out. I'm going to ask a poll.

[00:35:57]Do you want me to continue to do nightly news broadcasts or just do breaking news?

[00:36:03]>> One of these men whose name is Tyson Proffer. He lived in Ohio. His parents reported him to federal law enforcement.

[00:36:10]>> That was the tip.

[00:36:11]>> That was the main tip that set all this off. Eventually, because of homicidal tendencies, quoting law enforcement, this man was eventually committed to a hospital where federal law enforcement investigated him, talked to him, and went through his phone. From what we know across all different five documents that are for now the initial charging documents against these men. There was a plan to in at least four tiers have people be in the active line of fire causing this damage. Have drone operators within the city limits somehow if they could get drones to fly in DC which as we know the Secret Service and the police here in Washington make it very difficult for any private drone to be flying around any kind of these events. Then a quote underground railroad of people to get these people out of the city >> an extrication process and then a support network of influencers and funders and they said even potentially journalists to move these people and create a narrative around the kind of event of what they wanted. In all the different FBI searches across the country that we saw there were weaponry there was weaponry found guns, ammunition, tactical gear and tactical vests. However, what we don't know major is how far this group got into actually getting those drones that would have been at the heart of the attack and really the most scary part as we consider Americans and what warfare looks like going forward or domestic terror attack. There was really only just discussion about getting access to these drones and an explosive device to pair them up but really a striking scene especially given the last couple months of conflict here in DC. And >> And law enforcement has a terminology howlers, people who talk a big game.

[00:37:42]Clearly there was enough they thought in this conversation to suggest that they were contemplating something with enough specificity that this was chargeable.

[00:37:49]>> Yeah and it was and we saw >> Yeah it was definitely chargeable and there's [clears throat] there's a lot going on. All right, so 93% of you want me to continue doing nightly news, 7% of you just want me to do breaking news.

[00:38:02]So it looks like we're still going to be doing the nightly.

[00:38:05]Um >> [clears throat] >> But see Amy, you threw me all the way off. One vote. Just I'm [ __ ] with you.

[00:38:17]Um So >> Yeah, all right. I appreciate that. Um Now, what do you guys think of the road trips? Not a lot of people have donated to do that. And road trips are extremely expensive. So, if you want me to go get the content that you can't get anywhere else, I got to have funding for that.

[00:38:56]So, thank you, Ron. We try to be your source of breaking news.

[00:39:02]So, I'm going to do freaky Fridays this Friday. Everybody needs to be there.

[00:39:06]We'll give Racer a night off.

[00:39:09]And I WILL CONTINUE TO WHIP AND [snorts] BEAT >> THE BEATINGS will continue until morale improves.

[00:39:18]>> Uh the truth is uh we're beating you because >> Uh we don't have any money.

[00:39:27]>> So, if we're going to do these trips, we're going to need to get some money.

[00:39:30]We've already upgraded our internet.

[00:39:34]Uh and we've upgraded the sound system.

[00:39:42]>> [music] >> All right. So, let's see.

[00:40:10]All right. Well, we're going to be there on Friday night.

[00:40:13]But again, we're going to continue the beatings UNTIL DONATIONS IMPROVE.

[00:40:22]>> THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL morale improves.

[00:40:25]>> will continue until morale improves.

[00:40:28]>> It's actually not morale. It's the level in the bank account to keep to push up the level in the fuel tank on the Intimidator.

[00:40:36]So, uh Yeah, Holly.

[00:40:40]That's That's high-speed internet. Did you Did [clears throat] you Didn't you hear that? I mean, we're We're high-speed here.

[00:41:01]Um Yes, so you can make donations right there. I'm going to I'm going to pin that.

[00:41:12]So, you can make don- donations directly there so that Rumble or YouTube or whoever doesn't take 30% of it. We're going to come back with a war watch and we're going to try to update those about every half an hour to an hour. They've also told me that a lot of you guys watch shorts.

[00:41:29]Thanks, Shawn. Appreciate it. Uh they showed me that a lot of you guys like shorts, so I've got to figure out how to make them cuz I've never made a short in my life.

[00:41:37]Um I try not to be short about anything.

[00:41:41]Um other than the time it takes to respond to a threat.

[00:41:45]Uh but um I'm going to start making shorts and just doing little news blurbs on each one of those 30-second to a minute shorts breaking news uh stuff throughout the day. What do you want?

[00:43:25]They're not inside. They can still go inside and get air conditioning, but they're on the outside. Uh that's to help cut on the feed bill. Bunnies are expensive.

[00:43:34]Um So uh and this is Luna.

[00:43:39]Yes, and we are keeping from Jimmy from Brooklyn.

[00:43:58]Uh there's going to be a lot of lives.

[00:44:00]We're going to break a world record. I'm not going into that, but we're going to we're going to do that. Um there's a whole lot of stuff uh going to happen. Do you see yourself up there? Look up there.

[00:44:12]Look up there.

[00:44:13]Up there.

[00:44:14]See that? That's you.

[00:46:44]Dog gone it, I forgot.

[00:46:47]Oh.

[00:46:49]So, I have the, I think, the ability to start monitoring some satellite.

[00:47:34]Yeah. Okay.

[00:47:36]Um, So, let's see.

[00:47:45]No, we're not We haven't been on Zello in years. Zello is a by far inferior product to what we have now.

[00:48:32]>> Yeah, okay. Got that fixed.

[00:48:34]Um So, let's see here.

[00:48:56]All right, Arnold. Go back over to Greg's channel, man. You talk [ __ ] about me, you don't need to be here.

[00:49:02]I got enough problems in my life without [ __ ] like you talking [ __ ] about me on other channels.

[00:49:07]And I don't care for what was 3 years ago. 3 years ago makes no difference to me.

[00:49:12]You're still a [ __ ] [ __ ] Get off my channel.

[00:49:21]You know, I got a question for you guys.

[00:49:23]If somebody was talking [ __ ] about you on somebody else's channel, would you want them on your channel? I doubt it.

[00:49:33]Uh I can have hundreds. So, anybody that wants to join the network, they can join the network. So, just go to kwwnews.com and get signed up as a VIP or above.

[00:49:42]We got plenty of room for you now. We got rid of a bunch of [ __ ] like Arnold.

[00:49:52]Dude.

[00:49:53]>> You don't know.

[00:49:57]Probably hurricane season.

[00:50:02]>> Ice hot.

[00:51:17]Okay, maybe he'll get the message.

[00:51:22]Uh, let's see here.

[00:51:24]>> [sighs] >> Yeah, I'm sick of of dealing with Arnold. I am.

[00:51:42]He he talked [ __ ] about me on another channel multiple times. People sent me uh copies of the kind of crap he was saying. And I don't need anybody like that. If you're going to talk [ __ ] about me, you're really going to come here and get your news, but go to another channel and talk [ __ ] about me, I don't need you.

[00:52:03]Who's lighting up your phone?

[00:52:15]So, any other questions before we end this?

[00:52:22]I have no idea why he's here.

[00:52:26]No idea.

[00:52:27]Arnold is the guy that used to be a supporter of the channel. And when I was doing shows with Green Greg's, there was a guy called Sixpack America who was the biggest troll out there. And he kept claiming my name was Aunt Leanne Wilbarger, and I was a cross-dresser from Houston, Texas. Well, Arnold went along with the whole thing. Talked [ __ ] about me on a channel, said all kinds of things that weren't true. So, you know what, Arnold? Go [ __ ] yourself, dude.

[00:52:53]I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

[00:53:00]So, yeah. So, get out of here, Arnold.

[00:53:08]Don't come back, dude.

[00:53:10]Don't come back. Go back to where you talk [ __ ] about me. You're not welcome here.

[00:53:14]I thought you were a friend of mine until I saw what you wrote.

[00:53:24]Yep.

[00:53:25]And Sixpack has since came back and apologized and made huge donations to the channels and so on and so forth to apologize for all the things that he said about me that weren't true and that he didn't realize that I was the real deal and all this other stuff. So, Sixpack came around. Arnold, he's still the same piece of [ __ ] he always was.

[00:53:53]Well, you know what? When Greg backs up somebody calling me a Leanne Will Barger and saying that I'm a cross-dresser and Greg's not willing to delete that comment from his chat, well then he ain't worth a [ __ ] either.

[00:54:08]So, Greg's the one that burnt that bridge.

[00:54:25]Yeah, you're right. He burnt it.

[00:54:33]So.

[00:54:34]Are you going to say something?

[00:54:36]She didn't talk much.

[00:54:42]Okay, folks. That's going to do it for tonight's news broadcast. Um You don't have the legs to cross-dress.

[00:54:55]You sound like you tried, easy.

[00:55:00]You mean that that blue skirt didn't do it for you?

[00:55:04]Maybe you should consider evening gowns.

[00:55:07]Or maybe you have.

[00:55:12]Yeah, this is true. Greg doesn't know anything about EAMs.

[00:55:17]So, what what do you want now?

[00:55:19]Are you done with me?

[00:55:21]You're just going to love on me and leave. All right, I see how it is.

[00:55:26]Ah, they love you and leave you.

[00:55:31]All right, folks.

[00:55:36]That's going to do it for this evening.

[00:55:41]Uh thank you guys for joining us. When I get more there were 10 EAMs in an hour.

[00:55:47]I'm going to look to see if we've got any activity going on around the world.

[00:55:50]We're going to continue to do the war watches. Oh, I don't want to get back to that.

[00:55:56]I may have and I'm working on it right now a way to monitor military satellite communications. Now, I can't decrypt anything that's encrypted and numerous channels are encrypted. So, from time to time um Hollywood, you need to stop doing that.

[00:56:22]Doesn't it make your nose burn, too? Or or maybe that's something else.

[00:56:27]Um I'm sorry. I won't make enough money off selling socks to make it worthwhile there, Thompson.

[00:56:38]Um now, let me ask my question or let me do my poll here.

[00:56:46]Since we got a bunch of you here.

[00:57:31]All right. So, Okay, so here is the poll.

[00:58:09]Um if I'm able to listen to SAT coms, do you want it even if there is coms that you can't hear that are encrypted? So, you'll hear a static noise or so on and so forth. There's a hundred and some uh channels that requires me to get a special antenna, it requires me to get a special receiver, and run all of that into um the KWN World News server here.

[00:58:41]Um but I'm going to do some research on that. So, 15% say no, they don't like the noise.

[00:58:47]85% say do it even with the noise.

[00:58:52]Guess what, 15%?

[00:58:55]You lost.

[00:58:57]>> [music] >> Cuz no other news channel in the world streams live satellite coms or tactical coms.

[00:59:10]All right. Uh let's see.

[00:59:16]Only if they're put in the situation.

[00:59:17]It's military SAT com.

[00:59:22]So, three quarters of you want that. All right, hell, more people want Jack than what's that come.

[00:59:29]What's the matter with you?

[00:59:33]>> [snorts] >> Where's that button?

[00:59:38]>> What are you people? On dope?

[00:59:44]>> Okay, we're going to end that one.

[00:59:56]I can't play spooky music. It's against YouTube's algorithms. Even every time I even put in music that's not copyrighted, they still give me a copyright strike, so I can't do that.

[01:00:16]Yeah, I know Tom Cat. You like him. You like him too much. THAT'S THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

[01:00:28]YEAH.

[01:00:30]YOU'RE LIKING IT. I KNOW.

[01:00:32]YOU don't have to lie.

[01:00:33]Truth comes out.

[01:00:35]Uh, let's see.

[01:00:39]All right, any other questions? What do you mean he left the G7? There were 10 EAMs a little bit ago, so there may be some fecal matter impacting the air handling device somewhere on this large sphere that we all live on.

[01:00:51]Um, so I'm going to end this stream. I'm going to look around to see what's going on.

[01:01:00]There you go, Hoppin. See, more people need to be like Hoppin. Who's next?

[01:01:18]Yeah, well, it'd be nice if we had a Bruce Bot music, but they won't give it to me.

[01:01:23]I've tried. Even what I used to play for years and never got a copyright strike on, they give me a copy strike strike on now.

[01:01:39]Yeah, see.

[01:01:46]Take that and that.

[01:01:56]All right. Well, thank you, guys.

[01:01:58]Um hit the thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel if you haven't.

[01:02:02]The numbers are going through the roof uh as far as growth.

[01:02:08]Um we're up like I said, like 375% so we're we're kicking ass, taking names.

[01:02:16]Yeah, I miss spy music, too, but I don't miss copyright strikes or having my channel taken down because I play something that they say is copyright free music and then they give me a copyright strike for it.

[01:02:28]So, anyway, uh we'll be back later. Have a great night and we'll see you soon.

[01:02:37]>> That's all, folks.

[01:02:41]>> [music]
