here's some people who were saying well it was just standard procedure. They just say that all the time. And there are other people, Mike Cernovich, Dan Bongino for example, who say no you idiots that is not standard procedure.

Now how could it be standard procedure but also not a standard procedure? Well it turns out it can be. And Bongino gets to the heart of it by asking this question. If you think it's standard paperwork, would the DEA be allowed to serve a search warrant on the White House with armed agents in the cocaine case? Why not? Do you think that armed people with authorization to shoot to kill would have gone into the White House to look into the cocaine situation? And by the way in both cases there was full cooperation on the physical part. So at Mar-a-Lago there was never any indication anybody was going to resist anything and Secret Service were always in the communication. They were always talking to them. Never once said if you come in here we're going to prevent you. In fact they negotiated so that there would be no problems at all.

So the question is if you knew there were going to be no problems because you'd already negotiated it why do you have to put that in there? So I'm going to take a middle view of this. I don't think somebody sat down and said all right I got a plan to kill the president. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to create this situation and then we'll put this authorization in there and then as soon as something goes wrong we'll just start blazing away and gun down the president. I don't believe that even for the slightest second because nobody's that dumb.

But did they create a situation where the possibility would go from zero to nonzero? Yes it does look like they did that. It looks like they very much created a situation where there was a nonzero chance of killing him. That did happen. So I'm with Bongino on that. But I wouldn't take it so much as they planned to kill him because if they had planned to kill him it would have gone down differently. It would have been more of a surprise, you know, less of a negotiated situation.

And by the way I like, I say this often but one of the things I always value in Dan Bongino is his talent stack. He's done one of the greatest jobs of assembling talents everything and this is another one. So he's got this background in law enforcement type stuff but on top of that he knows politics and on top of that he knows all the players and on top of that he's great at the media stuff. So he's got the full package and that's why he's doing so well.

All right. So Trump went to the Bronx and gave his big speech. It was a giant hit. There were no real problems of any scale. It was all positivity. We're all Americans. Doesn't matter what color your skin is. People were wild for him. If anybody thought he would get a bad reception in the Bronx you were wrong. The crowd was the most diverse for a Trump crowd. There were plenty of white people but there were plenty of
