  • Routh Convicted on ALL Charges, POTUS Reacts plus Massive “Swatting” Network BUSTED!

    Routh Convicted on ALL Charges, POTUS Reacts plus Massive “Swatting” Network BUSTED!
    Sep 24 2025

    1. Attempted Assassination Case Against Ryan Routh

    • Charges & Background: Ryan Routh was convicted on multiple serious federal charges, including attempted assassination of Donald Trump (then a presidential candidate), assaulting a Secret Service agent, illegal firearm possession as a felon, and possessing a firearm with a scratched-off serial number.

    • Incident: In September of the prior year, Routh was caught hiding near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf course with a semi-automatic rifle. He had conducted surveillance and used burner phones. A Secret Service agent spotted him before any shots were fired.

    • Trial & Verdict: Routh represented himself in court, claiming he never intended to kill anyone. The jury deliberated less than three hours before finding him guilty on all counts. He now faces life in prison, with sentencing scheduled for December 18.

    • Courtroom Drama: Immediately after the guilty verdict, Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen but was quickly restrained by U.S. Marshals. His daughter, present in court, reacted emotionally, calling out in his defense.

    • Trump’s Response: Speaking at the UN, Trump thanked prosecutors and the jury, emphasizing that protecting political candidates from violence is vital for democracy. He did not address Routh’s suicide attempt.

    2. Secret Service Bust of a Massive “Swatting” Network

    • Discovery: The Secret Service announced it had dismantled a sophisticated telecommunications network in the New York tri-state area linked to swatting attacks against conservative politicians and officials.

    • Scale & Threat: Investigators uncovered over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers strategically placed within 35 miles of NYC. This network could have disrupted entire cell networks, including during the UN General Assembly.

    • Swatting Targets: High-profile figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Sen. Rick Scott, and Nikki Haley were targeted. The network was reportedly run by foreign state actors and criminal organizations.

    • Official Statement: Matt McCool, head of the Secret Service’s New York office, explained the network enabled anonymous, encrypted communication and posed an imminent threat to protective operations. While no arrests were announced, the devices have been seized, and forensic analysis is ongoing.

  • Kamala Says Being Gay or Jewish was a Disqualifier from Being her VP Candidate plus Kimmel BACK on ABC

    Kamala Says Being Gay or Jewish was a Disqualifier from Being her VP Candidate plus Kimmel BACK on ABC
    Sep 24 2025
    Kamala Harris’s Book Revelations Harris reportedly wrote that she considered Pete Buttigieg as her first choice for VP but decided against him because being both a Black woman and having a gay running mate was “too big of a risk” politically. She also considered Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro but claimed his being Jewish, combined with concerns about protests over Gaza, would hurt enthusiasm within the Democratic Party. Critics in the show frame these choices as evidence of hypocrisy in a party that emphasizes “tolerance and inclusion.” Reactions to Harris’s Explanations The hosts argue that Harris blamed voter prejudice rather than policy failures for her struggles. They suggest that her remarks expose bigotry within her own party, not among Republicans. Rachel Maddow’s interview with Harris is highlighted, showing tension as Maddow pressed Harris on the “gay VP” issue. Jimmy Kimmel Controversy Kimmel allegedly spread misinformation by joking that Charlie Kirk’s killer was a right-wing extremist, when reports indicated the opposite. ABC briefly pulled him, then returned him to air. Cruz and Ferguson critique Kimmel’s credibility, lack of humor, and political bias. They contrast Kimmel with Jon Stewart, whom Cruz admits is funny despite their political differences. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
