Trump Assination attempt suspect Cole Thomas Allen was able to get a hotel room

from The Charlie James Show Podcast

In the second segment of the April 27, 2026, broadcast, Charlie James detailed how 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen exploited security gaps to check into a 10th-floor guest room at the Washington Hilton days before his attack. By utilizing his status as a registered guest, Allen managed to bypass external checkpoints and smuggle multiple firearms and knives into the building. James emphasized that Allen reportedly used internal stairwells to reach the foyer level, mocking the lack of interior security in a manifesto sent to family just before he opened fire near the ballroom entrance.

00:05 Here's, I'm not Mr. Big conspiracy theory right now, but I do have some questions about how Cole Thomas Allen was able to get a room at that hotel. In one of the biggest nights in Washington, D.C., the White House Correspondents Dinner, where everybody's going to be saying, hey, I want to go to the dinner, don't want to drink and drive, let's get a hotel room. How, I mean, how was that hotel not completely booked up? I don't know. 00:33 as good a gene in fletcher gene welcome a uh... let them dot our state outbox in cspander weekend right after the attack the question was to all that you know the whole job and review the republican democrats in the independent and i know this this uh... consistency with the democrat voters they would say the outer shooting is like terrible 01:01 And once they got that five seconds out of the way, they went to, well, he brings up the rhetoric all the time. He brings this out in people. Like, each one said that and they were blaming him instead of saying how horrific the shooter was. Yeah. Chuck Todd did the same thing. Chuck Todd just did the same thing. And I'll play that for you coming. It's amazing. And you're right about that, Gene. I appreciate it. So it's like, yo, 01:31 Hey, hey, you know, I tried to kill the president. Yeah, that's awful. But dot, dot, dot. He deserved it. Oh, yes, he deserved it. Donald Trump deserved it. That's literally the way they feel. They have no humanity about them. So Jimmy Kimmel. 01:57 did a little mock in this is before the White House Correspondents dinner. Jimmy Kimmel acted like he was the host you do a little skit. And acted like he was the moderator of the White House Correspondents dinner and he did a little blurb in there about Melania Trump let's take a listen to this. Our first lady Melania is here look at more so beautiful Mrs. Trump you have a glow like an expectant widow. 02:26 Oh, that Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, he is hilarious. Hilarious. Isn't he? That came out of his mouth. Caroline Levitt talked about that today. Much of the manifesto of the would-be assassin is indistinguishable from the words that we hear daily from so many. For example, as the First Lady of the United States pointed out this morning, just two days prior to the shooting. 02:54 ABC's late night host, Jimmy Kimmel, disgustingly called first lady Melania Trump an expectant widow. Who in their right minds says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband? And having experienced what I did with the first lady on Saturday night, I can tell you that she was anything but that. This kind of rhetoric about the president, the first lady and his supporters is completely deranged and it's unbelievable that the American people are consuming it night after night after night. Yep. 03:24 As President Trump said on Saturday night at this podium, we as Americans must recommit ourselves to resolving our differences peacefully and uniting around the shared values that make our country great. The deranged lies and smears against the president, his family, his supporters have led crazy people to believe crazy things, and they are inspired to commit violence because of those words. And when they are hammered with those words day in and day out, they start to believe them. 03:53 Let's go to Ralph in Gaffney. Ralph, what do you think? Well, Charles, I'm heading to Simpsonville. It's a great day. How are you? It's going good. What's up, All right. 04:11 Do you realize back in the 60s what they came out with, do what you feel? Yeah. Then it grew from that to Flip Wilson, the devil made me do it. Right. It's personal responsibility. Yeah. Yeah. They just, but what gets me is they can't figure out, we don't even know the motive. What's the motive? mean personal responsibility? Yeah. I'm going to go on my feelings one minute. I'm on the rooftop praising the Lord and the next minute. 04:41 I'm next door smacking the hell out of my neighbor ...
