Podcasts about Heartland

The moment that changed an election. That's how Washington Examiner political reporter Salena Zito remembers the assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July. She was there when shots were fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, grazing the ear of the then-former President, critically injuring two men, and killing husband, father, and firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was hit while shielding his family from the gunfire. Although the Secret Service claims major changes have been made, questions about security failures persist. We spoke with Zito about her perspectives from that day, the months leading up to it, and her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland.” We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with journalist Salena Zito on President Trump's comeback and his secret to winning over the Heartland in last year's election.

Summer At Heartland Series

Over one week has passed since President Trump signed the "big, beautiful bill" into law, and he is now urging Republican Senators to support a package that would codify his proposed cuts via the Department of Government Efficiency. Meanwhile, House Republicans have already approved the package. This week, the House will take up several measures seeking to make the U.S. the leader in financial technology, cryptocurrency, and digital assets innovation. House Majority Whip Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-6) joins the Rundown to discuss the passage of the President's "big" bill and the upcoming "crypto week."  On July 13, 2024, an attempted assassination of President Trump took place at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One year later, the country continues to wrestle with the question: how could such a breach have occurred? Veteran journalist Salena Zito witnessed the event firsthand, which she recounts in her new book, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland. She joins the podcast to examine how the Butler incident marked a turning point for America, igniting an "awakening" in Middle America and a pushback against the political status quo.

It's been a year since the assassination attempt on President Trump's life, it was the most-defining moment in the campaign as a defiant, heroic President Trump stood up after being grazed by a bullet and said "Fight, Fight, Fight." Salena Zito was about 6 feet away from the president on that day and brings us insight to what happened and the aftermath. President Trump called Salena 7 times that day, something had changed, he was saved by God and the profundity was just starting to crystalize. Salena shares intimate details about Butler in her best-selling book Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland. We still don't know what radicalized Thomas Crooks and his family is a mystery in their neighborhood. We remember Corey Comperatore, his family and all those that suffered in Butler. Susan Crabtree has been investigating the Secret Service since they completely failed to secure the perimeter. Former Secret Service director Kim Cheatle is largely to blame as reports came out weeks in advance about an attempt on President Trump's life. Another part of the puzzle is Iran, Asif Merchant was casing the Secret Service for months trying to find a way to infiltrate their defenses. Iran has also released mock videos of a drone attack on President Trump. Senator Rand Paul and Senator Chuck Grassley, have produced daming reports on the extent of the failure and Susan wants to know if the new director of the Secret Service Sean Curran is explicitly addressing these former failures of the agency.

While appearing on MSNBC with Nicolle Wallace, Brennan claimed the investigation into him was “weaponizing intelligence and justice.” In addition to espousing falsehoods about the 2016 election, Brennan has notably lied about civilian casualties that resulted from Obama Administration drone strikes and about the CIA illegally accessing the computers of U.S. Senate staffers. 4:00pm- Salena Zito—Award Winning Political Reporter—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland.” Nearly one year later, she recounts what it was like standing just feet from the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania when shots rang out.

PLUS, why can't Livyy Dunn live in Babe Ruth's $1.6 million condo? 5:45pm- On Wednesday, former White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor invoked the Fifth Amendment while testifying before the House Oversight Committee about President Joe Biden's cognitive health. 6:05pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest report: “Key supervisors who signed off on the Butler security plan and two who were on the final walkthroughs before the…rally were never disciplined but instead received BIG PROMOTIONS.” 6:30pm- Jimmy Failla—Host of “Fox News Saturday with Jimmy Failla” & “Fox Across America”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show.

THIS WEEK'S GUESTS: RONNIE PHILIPS AND LOGAN BURDITT OF HEARTLAND WATERFOWL. Ronnie Philips: As a 2nd Grader from Marysville, KS, Ronnie was introduced to upland bird and deer hunting by his grandfather, David Curtis Carter. Ronnie learned about the outdoors from that man who made a name for himself as a multi-year Bird Dog Trial Champion in South Carolina and owner of Carter's Shooting Preserve. Several years later, Ronnie's passion for chasing upland birds shifted to waterfowl after his first afternoon duck hunt outside of Mound City, MO. After 22 years as a country music on-air radio personality, Ronnie decided to parlay that experience into his passion for the outdoors with the creation of Heartland Waterfowl. Also known as “Papa Ron”, Ronnie hosts The Papa Ron Podcast and still plays radio at paparonradio.com.Logan Burditt:  Logan is a fifth-generation waterfowl hunter with roots originating from northeast Missouri.  He was extremely fortunate to have been raised with numerous highly qualified outdoorsmen front-and-center in his life.  Safety and animal conservation were strongly taught and enforced, mostly by example.  Logan shot his first pheasant at the early age of seven with a 410 shotgun.   He quickly became a fan of all bird hunting and saw his love of the sport intensify while playing college baseball at Fort Hays, KS.  Logan considers himself very blessed with the vast amount of friends he's made through his love of hunting and filming.  Find more about Heartland Waterfowl: https://www.heartlandwaterfowl.com/Find our host Maggie at:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themaggiewilliams?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themaggiewilliams/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themaggiewilliamspodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnJHqUBdfgnFLc3P87r88VwIf you need a knife that stays sharp when it matters, Outdoor Edge's RazorSafe system is the perfect solution.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Supply and Demand is a Real Thing President Trump's cabinet meeting addresses a range of topics, including the devastating Texas floods, economic developments, and border security. The hosts highlight the Trump administration’s claim that tariffs have generated over $100 billion in revenue, with projections of $300 billion more, challenging mainstream narratives about inflation and price hikes. The discussion transitions into immigration enforcement, spotlighting Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s opposition to ICE operations in MacArthur Park. Clay and Buck critique sanctuary city policies and explore the broader economic impact of illegal immigration on housing costs, emergency room usage, and labor markets. They argue that removing illegal immigrants could lower rent prices and reduce strain on public services, reinforcing conservative immigration stances. Salena Zito Recalls Butler Journalist Salena Zito joins the show to discuss her new book, "Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland." Zito recounts her firsthand experience at the rally where Trump was shot in the ear, describing the chaos, the president’s resolve, and the symbolic power of his raised fist. She reflects on how the event transformed Trump’s sense of purpose and galvanized support across the political spectrum. The hosts predict that Trump’s reaction in Butler will become an iconic moment in American history, likening it to Lincoln at Gettysburg. Energy Secretary Chris Wright Fresh out of President Trump's cabinet meeting, Energy Secretary Chris Wright joins the show to outline the Trump administration’s “Make Energy Great Again” (MEGA) strategy. This includes ending half a trillion dollars in federal subsidies for wind, solar, and electric vehicles, which Wright argues have destabilized the power grid and driven up electricity costs. He emphasizes a return to fossil fuel production on federal lands, streamlined permitting, and targeted tax credits for next-generation nuclear, geothermal, and hydroelectric technologies. The conversation shifts to the affordability of gasoline, with Wright noting a 25–30 cent per gallon drop in prices over the past year despite global instability. He attributes this to increased domestic production and a shift in Middle East dynamics, particularly regarding Iran. The hosts and Wright also explore the urgent need for massive energy infrastructure expansion to meet the exponential power demands of AI technologies, warning of a looming 200-gigawatt shortfall if current coal plant closures proceed without adequate replacement. Cosmetic Theater The inefficiencies of TSA airport security, celebrating the end of the shoe-removal requirement and sharing personal anecdotes about pre-check lines and airport design. Airports in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Las Vegas are criticized for poor layout and outdated facilities, while LaGuardia, Nashville, and Salt Lake City receive praise for recent improvements.

The lights are low. The previews are over. The film begins… In this haunting episode of FFTH, what begins as an investigation into a missing audience spirals into something far more disturbing. Inside an aging suburban theater, the shadows stretch too long, the air buzzes with forgotten memories, and the screen holds more than a story—it holds a secret. One that shouldn't be seen. One that refuses to fade. So grab your popcorn, but don't get too comfortable. Because once this film starts, there's no guarantee you'll make it to the credits. "The Film" by Jason Fischer – When Detective Bradley is called to investigate a theater filled with blood—but no bodies—she assumes it's just another tasteless stunt. But the deeper she digs, the more surreal the case becomes. The only witness is a dying old man who claims the movie itself consumed the audience. With whispers of vanished film crews, ghostly figures in the projector's glow, and a reel made of something all too human, Bradley must face the possibility that the screen doesn't just show stories—it takes them. A terrifying descent into obsession, memory, and the cost of looking too closely, this tale blurs the line between medium and monster.
