Elijah Schaefer joins the show to discuss the transition from "lawfare" to "warfare" against Donald Trump. Schaefer, who lives near West Palm Beach, notes that security for visiting foreign leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu is often superior to the protection provided to Trump. He questions how a shooter could remain in a sniper's nest for 12 hours without detection.

Ryan Routh, a 58-year-old from Hawaii, was identified as the suspect in a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Reports indicate the suspect was positioned in hedgerows with a scoped rifle before being engaged by Secret Service agents. Initial investigations link Routh to the Ukrainian Foreign Legion, where he reportedly worked as a recruiter for foreign fighters.

Analysts question how Ryan Routh, a resident of Hawaii and North Carolina with no known ties to Florida, obtained information regarding Donald Trump's unannounced golf outing. Jack Posobiec previously predicted that Ukrainian-linked assets might be used in domestic operations against Trump. The suspect's ability to locate the specific golf hole and timing suggests he may have received logistical assistance from internal sources or intelligence cutouts.

During the incident in West Palm Beach, the suspect reportedly possessed a scoped rifle, backpacks, and a GoPro camera, presumably to record the assassination. Secret Service agents assigned to the immediate detail opened fire on the suspect as soon as he was spotted in the brush. While the local agents are praised as heroes, the broader leadership is criticized for allowing a gunman to get within 300 to 500 yards of the former president.

Investigation details reveal that Ryan Routh constructed a sophisticated sniper nest at the West Palm Beach golf course. He reportedly used ceramic tiles hanging over a fence to shield his heat signature from thermal detection equipment. The level of preparation involved, including the selection of a specific vantage point for an unannounced outing, strongly suggests the suspect had access to advanced tactical knowledge or external intelligence.
