CNN Vehemently Rejects Joe Rogan-Fueled Conspiracy Theory That CNN Aired Trump Rally Because They Knew He’d Be Shot
CNN vehemently rejected a conspiracy theory that has taken hold on the Right — which suggests that the network somehow had advance knowledge of the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life.
The theory has been making the rounds following Joe Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk — which was posted on Friday . In a clip from the podcast being widely circulated, Rogan seemed to suggest that because CNN broadcast the rally, it knew about the assassination attempt beforehand.
“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit.”
The conspiracy theory got even more traction when financial titan Bill Ackman shared the clip and posted in support of it.
“What are the chances @CNN was tipped off to stream the Butler rally?” Ackman wrote. “Why isn’t this worthy of an investigation? It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who orders the coverage and why.”
“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit.”

The U.S. Secret Service has just shot an armed man near the White House, the agency said.
The incident happened shortly after midnight on Sunday after an “armed confrontation” with law enforcement, according to the agency.
Local police had reported a “suicidal individual” possibly travelling to Washington D.C. from Indiana, the agency said.
In a statement on X posted by spokesman Anthony Guiglielmi, the Secret Service said:
“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm, and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel.”
The suspect was transported to the hospital.
Joe Rogan and Elon Musk point out the INSANE details surrounding the Butler, Pennsylvania Donald Trump assassination attempt shooter
- The assassins house was PROFESSIONALLY scrubbed
- His home was scrubbed so well there wasn’t even silverware left in the home
- No footprint on the internet
- No social media footprint (completely wiped)
- He was in a BlackRock commercial
- Joe Rogan says some individuals inside BlackRock may have “recognized that it's beneficial to them if he gets assassinated”
- There was never a formal report
- There was never press conferences where they detailed all the information they know currently and where the investigation stands at the moment
- He was a very young g kid there with a rangefinder (used to measure distances, very suspicious)
- CNN streamed it live, which Joe Rogan does not believe they did for any other rally. And certainly not for a rally that's in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania
- They wouldn't let people be on that roof because the Secret service lady said it was sloped and it was dangerous
- The snipers that were on the other roof was a, a steeper pitch (It made no f*cking sense)
- Random people saw him and pointed him out on the roof with a gun for a long time before it happened
- The kid had 5 phones
- His body was immediately cremated
- There was some indications that there was a phone that had been traveling from outside the FBI offices in D.C to where this kid lived multiple times

Another Fed Op? Former CIA Officer Says Ryan Routh Was Almost Certainly Speaking with FBI Agent Before Attempted Trump Assassination — There is NO WAY to Justify Him Getting on Golf Course with Rifle
On Tuesday, new court documents were released that reveal would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh was in talks to purchase a Stinger Missile to take out Trump here in the US.
A Stinger missile reportedly costs from $119,000 to $120,000.
A Stinger missile costs anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 on the black market.
So, where did Ryan Routh get all of his funding? ...
On Tuesday night, former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou answered these questions on Jesse Watters Primetime, and it was just as many of us suspected.
The feds were likely involved with Routh for many months. But they DID NOT stop him from planting himself in the bushes at a Trump Palm Beach course where he waited to kill the president.
The FBI needs to come clean. ...
Why are we funding an organization that was working with the would-be assassin of President Trump.

"Trump sold us out, brah"


Protect When Not Assassinating'.

I'm still kind of amazed that the assassination attempt completely fell out of the news and that there don't seem to be any investigations about it.
Over the weekend, NBC ran a shocking story headlined, “Secret Service discovers hunting stand with direct sight line to Trump’s Air Force One exit in Florida.” Media is using cautious language, maybe to avoid contaminating a future jury pool, or maybe to downplay the story. It was not a hunting stand; nobody believes that. It was obviously a sniper’s platform. Well, I suppose it could be a hunting stand if someone was hunting a president.
... The “tree stand’s” location is precisely along the approach and exit route used for every Trump arrival since 2017.
In other words, the “stand” had a direct line of sight to the door at the stop of the stairs on Air Force One where Trump enters and exits the plane. The distance is less than 1,000 feet. Trying to downplay the danger, NBC falsely claimed Trump’s plane does not “normally” park there, but many news photos between 2017-2025 show AF1 using that exact southern apron for every Palm Beach arrival.
It hardly needs to be said, but the spots circled in the photo and map are nowhere near any “hunting grounds,” unless the deer are traveling by air these days. The “stand” was in a roadside tree just east of Palm Beach International Airport, right along the canal and service corridor that separates the Customs and Border Protection hangar from the Palm Beach County Justice Complex. It was just a few trees on the corner, not a wilderness, a park, or even a “nature preserve” buffer.
The whole area is urban-industrial, densely developed, fenced, surveilled federal-adjacent land.
There is no plausible “hunting” rationale— not for deer, not for birds, not for iguanas, not for anything. Not even for hunting lost car keys. You’d have to ignore scads of FAA and TSA laws and myriad county ordinances to believe someone innocently built a deer stand under the approach path to a runway used by Air Force One.
The Secret Service spotted the platform during “routine advance security preparations” prior to Trump’s weekend arrival. Now the FBI and local police are involved, scouring the site for clues and checking cell phone records. A “law enforcement source” told Fox that the stand appeared to have been set up “months ago,” which raises uncomfortable questions about why it wasn’t spotted earlier.
Tucker’s newest X video about Thomas Crooks is critical investigative reporting on Trump’s failed assassin.
The video uncovers details about Crooks’ encrypted ProtonMail account, YouTube comments, Crooks’ searches for “Trump rally Butler PA,” and depressive disorders, along with FBI-censored phone data pointing to planned attacks on various figures. These revelations conflict with earlier claims of no online activity or motive, revealing deeper digital traces that the FBI overlooked or isn’t disclosing. It’s a compelling compilation that urges a more thorough review of official denials.
What is truly shocking is that the video shows Crooks going through a drastic ideological shift toward anti-Trump and anti-right-wing extremism, changing from apparent support to fierce opposition. Tucker also revealed links between Thomas Crooks and a known Antifa terrorist.
By my calculation, Crooks’ ideological transformation from being a Trump supporter to a rabid anti-Trumper appears to have occurred while he was attending a local college.
So, mainstream media misses the mark (yet again)…
Champagne Joshi (@JoshWalkos) sums up the Tucker video nicely:
"After reviewing Tucker Carlson’s recent investigation into Thomas Crooks, I believe the evidence suggests he was recruited by a third party – likely an individual or agency – and then allowed to attempt an assassination of Trump.
Here are the findings, you tell me:
•Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, at the Butler County, Pennsylvania fairgrounds, with the bullet coming within a quarter inch of killing him.
•The FBI claimed Crooks acted alone and had no online presence or digital footprint.
•The FBI described Crooks as a right-winger based on over 700 YouTube comments from 2019-2020 that included anti-Semitic, anti-immigration, and violent themes.
•Investigators obtained and verified hundreds of Crooks’ YouTube comments from his account “tomcrooks2178,” showing he was highly active online.
•Crooks searched for Trump over 700 times on YouTube, along with terms like Jack Ruby, mass shootings, chemical reactions, bombs, napalm, Molotov cocktails, civil war, Nazi-related terms, and “why Gays need to go.”
•Crooks’ political views evolved over time: In 2019, he was a Trump supporter, praising Trump as patriotic and calling for violence against immigrants and Democrats.
•By the COVID period in 2020, Crooks shifted to criticizing Trump as stupid, mocking his supporters, and advocating terrorism-style attacks against government figures in an August 2020 post resembling a digital manifesto.
•Crooks interacted with a user named “Willie Tepes,” who is linked to the Nordic Resistance Movement, a U.S. State Department-designated terrorist group; this user encouraged violence, but the FBI has not publicly addressed this connection.
•Crooks had multiple online accounts, including emails (tmcrooks7@gmail.com , americangamer@gmx.com , Bcook@mailfence.com ), Snapchat (Tom_Crooks19), Venmo (Thomas-Crooks-12), PayPal alias (Rod Swanson), Discord, Google Play (Colossal Microwave), Quizlet/Chess.com (Thomas_Crooks), and disabled Quora accounts, many using his real name.
•Some of Crooks’ accounts were deactivated or possibly cleared by the FBI.
•Evidence includes videos of Crooks dry-firing a handgun in his parents’ home, with metadata confirming the location.
•Crooks’ YouTube comments are still archived online despite his account being suspended on July 14, 2024, for violating policies on violent criminal organizations.
•The FBI accessed Crooks’ phone (unlocked in 40 minutes using Cellebrite technology), computer, and encrypted apps in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany, but withheld details from the public.
•No online activity was mentioned in the FBI’s December 2024 congressional report.
•The FBI obstructed investigations by releasing Crooks’ body for cremation on July 23, 2024 (the day congressional probes began), hosing down the crime scene (leaving no blood or tissue), and ignoring subpoenas for records including electronic devices, digital/financial accounts, search history, footage, and autopsy details.
•The FBI confirmed surveillance footage exists but has not released it.
•The FBI lied about Crooks’ views; for example, Deputy Director Paul Abbate claimed right-wing motives, but comments show a leftward shift, and the agency selectively used information while knowing of the comments pre-shooting.
•Crooks conducted drone surveillance at the site, but the anti-drone system was down.
•Crooks loitered with a backpack and rangefinder but was temporarily lost by authorities.
•The shooting occurred from the American Glass Research building, which had no surveillance, was outside the security perimeter, and had absent officers. The only building there without security cameras I might add. Also the crime scene was completely wiped clean the very next day.
•Media portrayed the incident as involving a lone white male with easy gun access. Of course they did, just like every other major assassination in America history. What are the odds?"
Although bits and pieces of Tucker’s revelations have made it into mainstream media, no other organization has put the pieces together as Tucker has.
It seems like the public might want to know more about the motives behind this failed assassination attempt.
This lack of transparency by the FBI could fuel more conspiracy theories and make the FBI appear inept. Perhaps it's time the government considers releasing information about its investigation into this assassination attempt. Such a move would be a meaningful change, fulfilling the public's desire for openness, and could improve trust and goodwill among Americans.

The columnist (Miranda Devine) described a commonality between Crooks and Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, who is charged with the murder of the late conservative activist.
"[Crooks’ accounts] range from, you know, Google Play to that site…called DeviantArt, which is probably the biggest, or one of the biggest hubs online for this sexual fetish called Furries, where people dress up or fantasize about animal characters, cartoon characters that are sort of humanized," Devine told Fox News anchor Sandra Smith.
She continued, "And so it's very bizarre, but we also saw that with Charlie Kirk's killer, alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, who was also involved in this bizarre furry culture."
