Ken Silva, thank you very much for doing this.

You've written a book on the Trump assassination plots, the two from the summer of

2024, about which there are more unanswered questions than answered questions, and they're

so transparently ridiculous, the stories that we have been told, that it, my first question is, where are all

the other books on this topic? Why did this fall to you? That was my question, too, and you're

actually probably one of the only major media figures that's still keeping the story alive,

so it's a pleasure to talk to you.

But yeah, there were a couple books published in the wake, like Selena Zito, is a Washington

examiner reporter, wrote a book called Butler, but it goes more into the cultural aspects of

like the Butler community and the the political effects the political fallout

of the event it's not really like a forensic investigation this is the the first of that kind

does zito's book have a conclusion does it reach does it reach a conclusion about what that was

or does she affirm the official story which is this was a crazed left wing lone

gunman yeah it's more or less an affirmation of the official story and again just like the political

fallout that's that's more of the book she was there that day so there is like a bi autobiographical

account of what happened you know from when she got there.

But it doesn't go into like the details about what happened over on the H.E.R. building or the

security failures or who Thomas Crooks was.

So I'm going to state what I think is the official account of what happened in Butler that day.

And then I would like you to just take us through what you know about what happened in Butler that day. And then I would like you to

just take us through what you know about what happened in Butler that day. So the official account

is there's this weird kid, local kid who really hates Trump and he's been radicalized
