Secret Service Security Failures During White House Correspondents' Dinner

About this video

Mike Ritland interviews a Navy SEAL veteran running for U.S. Senate in Idaho who discusses his campaign, foreign policy views, and political positions. The candidate claims all presidential assassinations except Kennedy were committed by the left against Republicans and argues gun control doesn’t reduce crime. He describes his grassroots fundraising approach, refuses foreign or PAC money, and advocates for term limits, energy independence, and reduced Middle East involvement while maintaining support for Israel due to what he characterizes as aligned interests.

Key takeaways

• The candidate claims every presidential assassination or attempt except Kennedy has been ’the left on the right,’ citing Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and three attempts on Trump as examples of what he characterizes as one-sided political violence.
• The candidate states he has raised over one million dollars entirely from individual donors, refusing all PAC money and foreign lobbyist contributions, and has signed a term limits pledge.
• The candidate argues U.S. and Israeli foreign policy interests are aligned in the Middle East and advocates for energy independence through nuclear power and domestic oil production to reduce Middle East entanglements.
