Time Text
Alright, welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for July 15th.
It's Monday.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Thank you for joining me today as we are building the infrastructure of human freedom.
And as you know, America dodged a bullet over the weekend as an assassination attempt against President Trump failed.
We've got a lot more analysis on that today, and also I interviewed over the weekend two experts in ballistics, and I'll be playing both of those interviews today.
Each one is about 30 minutes.
So one of them is HiCap, who I've interviewed before.
He hasn't revealed his identity, but he has done work on the border with interdiction of illegals, and he's also a very well-accomplished shooter and, well, I don't know how much I can say, but he's very well versed in ballistics and also has run a lot of security detail operations.
Now, I had originally planned to run my recent interview with Gerald Salenti today.
However, that will be pushed to tomorrow or later because of this assassination attempt on, of course, on President Trump.
And I want to clarify something that I learned over the weekend, partially by interviewing my two guests.
And just to correct something that I've been saying, you know, I've done this forensic audio analysis and And in the weekend broadcast that I put out, I play the audio with the pattern of the snap and the boom in that order.
It's like snap, boom, snap, boom, or like boom, boom.
And I was explaining that that's the pattern that you get from a rifle at some distance because the boom is the report of the rifle that travels at the speed of sound, while the snap is actually from the bullet that's traveling faster than the speed of sound, much faster.
And I was using a muzzle velocity of about 2,500 feet per second as an estimate of that speed.
And the speed of sound is only about 1,125 feet per second.
It varies based on ambient air conditions and air density and humidity and so on.
But what I want to clarify here is that the snap Before the boom, I've been describing the snap as when the bullet hits something close by, and it's actually not.
The snap is the sonic boom of the bullet as it passes you.
So the same principle of the audio forensics still applies.
You still have the snap, boom, snap, boom.
And let me just demonstrate this for you.
I'll try not to turn this into like a beatbox episode.
But if it goes like this, boom, boom, okay, then you know the distance of that.
If you know the muzzle velocity, Then you know that distance, if it's about a quarter of a second apart, that distance is roughly around 400 feet.
But if there's a longer delay between those, like, boom!
Boom.
Then you know it's much farther away.
That might be, you know, 700 or 800 feet or even farther away.
And a lot of times what you'll hear in these videos, and I did this during the Vegas shooting as well, is these will be intermixed.
So you'll have, like, the rifle fire will be like, boom, boom, boom.
Something like that.
But the way it arrives as you're hearing it is it would be like, boom, boom, boom.
But sometimes they get intermixed.
And this is where it turns into beatbox.
It'll be like, boom, boom, boom, like that.
Which is actually, you know, it's just if you take the shooting pattern and then just displace it in time, that's where the booms will arrive.
And that might be, you know,.2 seconds or.4 seconds or.6 seconds, okay?
I just wanted to clarify and actually correct what I had said, that the initial incoming snap is actually the hypersonic signature, the sonic boom of the bullet.
Now, I did tweet something out two days ago.
I said that Trump's going to suffer hearing damage.
And that is absolutely true, and nobody in the media has talked about that, but Trump had a hypersonic bullet pass through his ear, which means there was also a sonic boom, a mini sonic boom.
Not like the kind of sonic boom you get from a jet fighter, because that's a large object.
But a bullet from a 5.56, well, from an AR-15, typically 5.56 diameter, round.
That often is 55 grains or 62 grains in terms of its mass.
It's a small bullet.
It's about the same diameter as the eraser on a pencil, by the way.
Yeah, that's what a standard AR-15 round looks like.
It's, in fact, about the same diameter as a.22 long rifle round.
It's just ever so slightly larger than And in case you're curious, 22 means.22 inches in diameter, whereas 5.56 means 5.56 millimeters.
But the point is, Trump will have hearing damage.
And I'm wondering if he'll talk about that at some point.
I'm wondering for how many days will his right ear ring, actually.
And, you know, his left ear is probably fine, but his right ear was obviously, you know, right there.
And so, you know, there's a little sonic boom that went into his ear canal, and he will suffer hearing loss, no doubt, as a result of that.
Now, I'm also happy to report that our friend Larry Johnson, former CIA that we have interviewed a couple of times, he had a guy on who's an experienced sniper with a couple of decades of experience.
I think Whitlock was his name.
And this guest is the first guy that I've heard who talked about this delay between the sonic boom of the round and the rifle report of the round.
The first guy I've heard talk about it.
I was astonished over the weekend that apparently I was the only one who knew this.
It was like, surely there must be plenty of other firearms experts who know this.
And it turns out there are.
You're just not hearing from them much online.
So a lot of the people who are talking about guns and rifles and distances and engagement times and so on, they really have very little knowledge in this area.
They may not even know, like, what's the bullet drop at that range?
Let's call it 400 feet now.
Just as a round number.
What's the bullet drop at 400 feet?
Well, I've heard people say all kinds of weird things.
Well, the drop, you know, is either one inch or another guy will say the drop's only half an inch or the drop's three inches.
Folks, it depends on the range at which you zero your rifle.
So there might be actually elevation at 100 yards.
So one of the things...
That is, you know, pretty well known is that if you zero your rifle at 50 yards, then it will also be zeroed at 200 yards, although you should also, you know, dial it in at 200 yards to make sure.
And it will hit Right on target at both 50 and 200 yards.
But at 100 yards, the shot will be high.
Why?
Because the bullet is actually at an upward trajectory compared to your sights or your optics because your optics are set on top of the barrel.
And thus, there's a convergence of the rifle round coming out of the barrel versus a straight line protruding from your sights.
Those two lines converge.
The bullet is on an arc path.
That arc goes up and crosses over your optic line and then it flattens out and then it comes back down and crosses over your optic line again.
And if you zero at 50 yards, then it typically for a 5.56 round with an AR-15, it typically would come back down at about 200 yards.
And an experienced shooter knows that if you zero your rifles that way, then you won't have to compensate much vertically for targets out at 250 or 300 or even 400 yards.
You have a much better shot profile at those longer distances if you zero it where the bullet has a little bit of an upward arc.
So, the question is, this shooter...
At what range did he zero this rifle?
I haven't heard anybody even talk about that.
I haven't seen any analysis of the rifle or where it was zeroed.
If this guy knew that he was going to engage President Trump at a predetermined distance of, let's say, you know, 125 yards, let's say, or whatever, whatever he decided, then he could have zeroed his rifle at that range.
And he would not have to worry about bullet drop.
And that's the most likely scenario if he were planning.
And clearly he had planned this out.
He knew where the ladder was.
He was going to climb up the buildings.
He had apparently some kind of explosive devices in his vehicle.
He was even planning to survive this and get away, believe it or not.
Which just tells you how much brainwashing the guy has been through by his handlers, you know, told him, yeah, you can get away.
No, there's no chance you're going to get away from this, but maybe he thought he could.
But clearly he was planning all this, which means that he probably had his rifle zeroed at the distance that he was expecting to engage at, okay?
Sorry about the bad grammar.
But that means that all he had to worry about was not the vertical bullet drop, but rather left and right.
And some people have said, people who don't know anything about ballistics, they have said, well, wind was a factor here.
There was a German newspaper built that said wind saved Trump.
No.
Wind is not a factor at that range with a round like that.
Not a factor at all.
I calculated the flight time of this is.0167 seconds.
How much does wind affect a bullet in 0.167 seconds, especially if there was not high wind reported that day?
So, at most, what were the winds?
Like, 4 miles an hour?
5 miles an hour?
Okay, so wind is no effect with that small of a flight time on a round like that.
It doesn't even matter what wind direction it is.
There's no effect.
You would not even calculate that into your shot.
So wind wasn't a factor.
The hold or the bullet drop was probably not a factor because he had it zeroed at that range, which meant The only factor was the fact that the target was a moving target, because when people talk, they move their heads.
And this is why all snipers know that headshots are very, very difficult.
And that's why in most self-defense situations, Self-defense instructors tell people to aim for center mass, you know, center of the chest, basically.
Why?
Because, well, it doesn't bob around like the head bobs around.
The head's a smaller target.
It's a more difficult target.
And so now, we come to realize that, in fact, this head shot was placed on target.
That this was a brain-busting shot.
Except that at the very last instant...
Trump, he cocked his head a little bit more to his right, looking up at a display that was part of his speech.
And it seems like within a quarter second after he did that, that round came right by and pierced his ear.
And so I want to show you this image that's been circulating.
Now you see this image.
Look at the head image on the top right.
The bullet is traveling from the left to the right.
At, you know, supersonic speeds.
This was the position of Trump's head for many seconds before the shot arrived.
And then look at the bottom image, bottom right, Trump cocked his head a little bit more to the right to take a look at the display.
And in that moment, the bullet came through and clipped his ear.
But if Trump had not moved his head, then you would get the path shown in the upper right hand diagram.
They're showing the bullet penetrating his skull.
And it would have.
Well, you know, the way bullets work is they impart their kinetic energy onto the biomass that they strike.
And you would have had a shockwave, a...
I mean, I don't want to be crude, but it would have, of course, blown out the back third of his skull and brain and brainstem and everything else.
That would have been it.
So the difference between living and dying was looking a little bit more to the right.
And he did that just barely a split second before the round arrived.
And so what this tells us, and I'm going to play a video.
I think I've got a video for you here.
Yeah.
What this tells you is that the shooter actually didn't miss.
As you know, the Democrats and leftists are all over Twitter now complaining that the shooter missed.
He didn't actually miss.
What happened is Trump moved his head at a split second before the bullet arrived.
He might have moved his head at the exact moment that the trigger was pulled.
Because remember, the bullet flight time is.167 seconds.
And it seems like Trump tilted his head just maybe a quarter of a second or an eighth of a second before that bullet arrived.
So, in other words, this is God's hand, I think.
This is This is like just the timing of Trump tilting his head just meant the difference between the end of America and the saving of America, the rebirth of America, depending on what you think happens from here forward.
But let me play the video for you of this so you can see the timing of his tilt.
Now, this video starts out playing it at normal speed, and then it's going to go half speed and then quarter speed so that you can see for yourself How close this was.
This is really extraordinary.
I don't know who put this together, but thank you to whoever did put this together.
We're sharing it.
Check this out.
We see something that said, take a look what happened.
Take a look what happened.
So how extraordinary is that?
All right.
See, we all assume that the shooter missed.
I mean, that's been the conclusion most of the weekend, that the shooter missed.
Obviously, if his aim had been maybe one more inch to the right from his vantage point, then it wouldn't have mattered what angle Trump's head was at, right?
It would have hit the skull either way.
But the fact that the bullet was just right at the outside edge of Trump's skull when Trump tilted his head, put that bullet through his ear instead of his skull.
And that is, it's, I mean, it's almost unheard of.
Again, I think it's the hand of God.
And I'm going to talk about God here a little bit because I think that God has given us a second chance.
In fact, I tweeted this out.
The security was theater.
I think that's what just happened.
Because who determines at what moment Trump tilts his head?
Or let's say, if God were trying to devise a way, how can Trump survive this?
There's a bullet coming for his head.
There's a shooter trained enough to put this bullet right through Trump's skull.
How could events transpire in a way that would stop Trump?
The assassination and give America another chance.
And the answer was that Trump tilted his head to look at something.
And in that moment, the bullet flew past and hit just his ear, not his skull.
And hitting his ear, the ear has a lot of blood vessels in it.
Ears bleed a lot.
So there's a lot of blood.
The blood goes all over Trump's ear and some of it across his face.
Two streaks of blood right across his face.
And then the photographer snaps that.
And do you realize that without the blood on his face.
That.
The image that photograph would not be nearly as powerful.
That the blood that was drawn by the shooter's bullet actually became a symbol of Trump's determination to fight with his own blood for the future of America.
No one could have even scripted such a series of unlikely events.
And then, you know, multiple photographers who were there for the event, they were, of course, snapping photos like crazy because, you know, this is what they do.
They take photos when interesting things happen.
And so that's how the iconic photo now that resembles Iwo Jima was taken.
But I just want you to understand how close we just came to the end of all of it.
The end of Trump campaign, the end of peace, probably the end of America, the end of the election season, all of it.
It was almost ended by maybe one inch or one head tilt.
It's absolutely extraordinary.
Now, I'm going to play something else for you here.
About a three-minute clip from a man who was interviewed by Pastor Steve Ciccolonti.
And Pastor Ciccolanti is a very well-known pastor.
I think he's based out of Australia, but he came to America for a tour.
I remember him saying he was in Florida, and then he was in Branson, Missouri, where I spoke at the Steve Quayle event in 2019.
And Steve Ciccolanti was interviewing a man, I think his name is Brandon Biggs.
And Mr.
Biggs, the Lord had spoken to him.
And the Lord told him, and this video I'm going to play for you is from, I think, roughly about March of this year.
And in this video, you're going to hear Biggs explain that God told him that there would be an assassination attempt on Trump, and that a bullet would come right past his ear, and it would actually damage his eardrum as a result of the bullet, and then Trump would fall to his knees.
But that he would win the election after a lot of tribulations in the courts, and then something would happen next year.
But I'll let you hear it from Biggs himself.
I'm going to play this video for you.
It's about three minutes, and then I'll come back with some commentary and summarizing that video.
Here we go.
Because the Lord told me, He said, I am not done with America.
He said, there's going to be a new wave of patriotism coming out.
And that's whenever I saw Trump and I saw a red wave coming out of Michigan.
And then I saw Oklahoma and there was embers of people and they had torches all throughout Oklahoma and they were raising up these torches that looked like fire.
And they were bringing forth a new patriotism upon the nation.
And it was being birthed and it just kept spreading like fire all throughout America, all throughout.
And I saw Trump rising up and then I saw an attempt on his life.
This bullet flew by his ear and it came so close to his head that it busted his eardrum.
He fell to his knees during this time frame and he started worshiping the Lord.
He got radically born again during this time frame.
People say he's saved now, but he becomes really on fire for Jesus for what I saw coming.
And then I saw people interceding and I saw him winning the presidency.
The Lord showed me it would go clear into the summer.
Great persecution would come on him through the judges and through the law and all these people trying to sue him and all this stuff.
But there would be a stop to it and things would start to break free come toward the fall.
And then I saw him winning We're good to go.
It would be a great dark time, but I saw paddles coming upon America's soil like a shocking of the soil, and I saw Donald Trump praying in the office of the Oval Office, and he was weeping before the Lord with his Hands on his head like this, but he was weeping.
And there was ministers and people.
I don't know if they were senators or congresspeople or whatever.
I just saw them pacing back and forth inside of the White House.
Sorry, it's the White House, but it's the Oval Office.
And they were interceding all inside there.
And I could feel the presence of the Lord so strong in this.
And then I could see that darkness that was the heaviness upon America with the...
The financial crisis of what I saw coming.
It started to lift above the trees and I saw the blue and the things coming back out and the green times and good times coming back again.
But the Lord said it would be forth a time of a season of a shaking.
And it would be a shakening to awaken.
And in this, this would...
Basically, he was not done with America.
There would be a great revival come.
It's not all doom and gloom.
That's what he said.
The sky's not falling.
It's like people would say, this is judgment.
And the Lord said, do not call this judgment.
It's not my judgment.
It's a correction.
There's a correction coming.
All right, so that's extraordinary.
Here's a man, Brandon Biggs, who months ago In fact, let me check the date of this original video four months ago.
Okay, this was before the April 8th eclipse because they were talking about the eclipse.
So roughly, this was about mid-March when this video was filmed.
So Brandon Biggs says the following.
I'm summarizing actually a larger piece, larger than what you just saw.
He says, He says there will be extreme weather events, especially a lot of heat in the Northeast.
There will be a new wave of patriotism across America and a strong red wave coming out of Michigan.
He talked about torches of fire in Oklahoma.
Not sure what that's referring to, but maybe we'll see.
And a new wave of patriotism spreading from Oklahoma all across the country.
He said that, of course, he said that there would be an assassination attempt against Trump, that a bullet would come right by Trump's ear, and he motions to his right ear.
So it's the correct ear that actually happened, and he says that Trump's eardrum would be damaged by the sound of the bullet, which no doubt has happened.
He says that after a lot of persecution by the courts, Trump goes on to win the presidency because of a large patriot turnout.
That large turnout is no doubt going to be a result of this assassination attempt.
And then he says that what happens after Trump gets into the Oval Office is that there will be a great crash of the economy, something far worse than the Great Depression.
He calls it a great dark time.
And he does not indicate the duration of this great dark time.
But he says that at some point, at one point, Trump is praying in the Oval Office with other people around him.
And he says, in time, the darkness is lifted, the financial crisis wanes, and then there's a new spring for America after what he calls a shakening to awaken.
Maybe we should call it the shakening to awakening moment.
And finally, he summarizes it by saying, the Lord is not done with America.
A great revival is coming.
And that it's not judgment.
It's not God's wrath being unleashed upon America.
It's a correction.
Well, okay, I don't know what the difference is between God's wrath and God's correction, except perhaps the severity of it.
But this is a correction.
And maybe this correction would include halting all the LGBT insanity and all the demonism and all the child mutilations and all that.
I would imagine that's part of what's coming.
I hope it is.
Because we've got to stop all that evil.
So, given that Biggs here appears to have absolutely nailed it with a shockingly precise detail that Trump would survive an assassination attempt, a bullet would come right by his right ear and it would damage his ear and he would fall to the ground, but he would rise again and he would win the election.
This obviously lends a lot of credibility to what else he's saying.
Because you may say, well, maybe you don't believe in prophecies, and I understand that perspective if a lot of prophecies are very generic.
You know, like, oh, the Lord told me times are going to be hard.
Okay.
Yeah, we all already know that, right?
But it was like, the Lord told me that a bullet would fly right past Trump's right ear in an assassination attempt, and the assassination would fail, and Trump would fall to the ground, and then he would rise again.
And it's like, oh, that's very specific, you know?
That's very...
That's like...
Getting the lottery number exactly correct.
It's not like saying, I think the lottery will have the number three in it.
No, anybody can guess that.
But nailing down the lottery numbers, that's a whole different story.
This is like nailing the lottery in terms of prophecies.
And so again, it gives credibility to what Biggs is saying.
Now, I don't know all of what else Biggs has said, but when he says that a great crash of the economy is coming, worse than the Great Depression, a great dark time, That is entirely consistent with my own conclusion from non-prophetic sources.
You know, God hasn't spoken to me about the economy in 2025.
But I've arrived at the same conclusion.
That's based on the idea that the deep state will try to break the economy under Trump and lay the blame on Trump's shoulders.
So you know how the government was weaponized against Trump in the last administration.
The DOJ, the FBI, you know, the deep state, the CIA, the intelligence officials, all of that.
You know, fabricating the fake dossier, the fake Russia-Russia hoax.
Well, they're going to do far worse this time.
They're going to crater the economy.
Probably going to unleash a debt crisis, a banking crisis, collapse of the dollar.
And maybe some elements of that are inescapable anyway because of all the damage they've done with all the money printing or the currency printing.
So there may be things coming that even the deep state can't stop.
But they're going to put the blame on Trump.
And I believe that in order for a great revival to come to America, there has to be a major correction.
That the American people must learn a very profound lesson from the Lord.
They have to learn that their abundance...
is only possible when they live in alignment with the teachings of Christ.
And that if you turn from God, if you disobey God's commandments, then you will suffer a loss of everything.
You will lose all your wealth, all your abundance, all your food, everything.
that he was talking about that because over the weekend I was listening to Pastor Jack Hibbs also, and Jack Hibbs was reading from Deuteronomy 28.
And Deuteronomy 28, starting with verse 1, talks about how you can have all the blessings in your city and in your country, all the prosperity and the fruitfulness and how you can be blessed with children and family and livestock and food all the prosperity and the fruitfulness and how you can be blessed with children and family and livestock and food and everything with bountiful rains and harvests God's commandments.
But As is explained in Deuteronomy, beginning around verse 15, I believe.
And he was speaking to the Israelites, by the way, that they would face severe curses, in essence, curses that are horrific.
And if you go through and you read Deuteronomy 28, verse 15 through, I think, the end of the chapter, all the way through 68, there are descriptions of the Israelites being struck with madness and blindness and confusion that no matter what they do, they would never prospered.
They would be oppressed and robbed.
They would have tumors and scabs and boils.
I mean, madness.
They would not be able to escape.
They would not be rescued.
I mean, it goes on and on.
It's like a cocktail of hellish outcomes or hellish consequences.
And this is the lesson of Deuteronomy, chapter 28.
I think this is very appropriate for what we're going through right now because most of America has turned against God.
With the runaway abortions, with the transgenderism, the mutilation of children, the turning away from the rule of law, turning away from justice, the lies and deceptions of the deep state and the radical left who have become like vile demons at this point, calling for more death and destruction, calling for Trump's death all over the weekend.
You saw a lot of that.
I may have some examples to share with you of that here today.
But most of America, but especially left-wing America, has turned against God quite in a profound way.
But God tells us that you always have a choice, that you can choose to embrace the lessons of God, and then your nation will be saved.
Your nation will turn around, and what was darkness will become light, and what was poverty will become wealth, and what was famine can become abundance.
And it appears that that time is coming for America, but there's going to be a great shakening, as Mr.
Biggs was saying, a great shakening of America, which is this reckoning, where the rubber meets the road, where all these people who have turned against God and who have become radical demons and preying upon children...
And putting out lies, like the corporate media is spilling nothing but lies constantly.
Just CNN over the weekend wouldn't even report the truth about Trump.
Their headline was like, you know, Trump evacuated from speaking event after falling.
It's like, after falling, you mean after getting shot in the head with a high-powered rifle?
But they wouldn't report that, because they're just liars.
They're demons.
The CNN operation is a demonic, lying entity, and I hope that they are dismantled through economics, and I hope that the liars at CNN would no longer be able to spread their lies to anyone.
But we'll have to see what happens.
Nevertheless, there's going to be a great shakening and then an awakening followed by a revival.
But we don't know how long this period of darkness is going to last.
Now, you may recall that I've been predicting for many years now that 2025 would be the last year of the existence of the United States of America as we know it.
I've had this prediction for a very long time, maybe eight years now or something like that.
I don't recall exactly when I first mentioned that.
And I also predicted that Trump would be the last president of the United States of America.
Now, I thought I was going to apply during his first administration because I thought he would be president for two terms.
Little did I know that He was president for one term and then it was stolen the second term and then he comes back in a third term.
But I believe that the United States of America will experience a near-death experience.
Let's call it that.
And Trump will be in the Oval Office as this happens.
And there will be economic turmoil like nothing else that the nation has ever seen, or even perhaps that the world has seen.
And that this great dark time will result in mass revolts, especially in the blue cities, chaos, violence, famine, starvation, disease, and mass death.
And the population of the United States of America will drop by millions of people.
And as a result of all of this, America will be forever and dramatically changed.
It will not be the same country it once was.
So we're going to go through some very dark times yet ahead of us.
But out of that darkness, there will be a new awakening.
There will be a new enlightenment and a new era of prosperity.
But it won't look like society that we have right now.
Because this revival...
Will either, I believe, this great revival that's coming will either turn many people toward God who are not currently recognizing the importance of God in their lives, or it will end up that those people who reject God will destroy themselves and each other.
They will be destroyed.
And that's going to be, you know, the radical left wing, the blue cities, the The Antifa types.
It's going to be, you know, these violent mutilating lunatics and child predators and groomers and traffickers.
Basically the entire Democrat Party.
Because that's who they are.
Just a bunch of evil, vile pedophiles and mutilators.
Liars and killers.
Murderers.
And if the Democrat Party ceases to exist, that indeed would indicate a great revival for America.
And if the Democrats themselves end up either deciding to turn to God, some of them, or destroying themselves or killing each other and probably feeding on each other, they'll probably end up Turning to cannibalism and eating each other, then, you know, good riddance, right?
Because that's who they are.
That's the path that they have chosen of destruction, self-destruction, self-immolation, and extreme evil.
And if they actually feed upon each other like the vampires and monsters, like the hellish underworld undead that they are, then it only seems fitting, doesn't it?
By the way, a musical artist, Eminem, he's put out a new album called The Death of Slim Shady, and it has tracks on it that are named Lucifer, Evil, and Antichrist.
And one of his music videos depicts the birth of the Antichrist demonic baby.
I'm not going to show you that, but it just goes to show you that Eminem...
Who also attacked Candace Owens in his lyrics, has become just straight up a servant of Satan.
And he is a pop culture icon, sadly, because much of our culture has turned against God and has embraced pure evil.
But Eminem, who is also pictured in a bathtub filled with blood, he's soaking in the blood, probably the blood of murdered children, He is, he's become pure evil.
They're not hiding it anymore.
You know, they're not beating around the bush.
This is just straight up demonic evil right in your face and they call it music.
By the way, in capping all of this, Joe Biden put out a video.
I mean, remember that Joe Biden called for putting Trump in the bullseye.
That was just a few days ago.
That might have been a signal, activation signal to activate the suicide shooter as well.
Then yesterday he put out this video where he says that the way that power should be resolved in our country is at the battle box.
Not the ballot box, but the battle box.
Listen to this.
But in America, we resolve our differences at the battle box.
You know, that's how we do it.
At the battle box.
Not with bullets.
Okay, that's weird.
He says we resolve our differences at the battle box, not with bullets.
While, of course, the Biden deep state or the Democrat deep state is unleashing suicide shooters.
And increasingly, people are realizing that this was definitely an inside job.
And so, in fact, I want to read you something from a user on Twitter named Coach Bruce.
Says he used to work in military intelligence, his take on the Trump assassination attempt.
He says, quote, there's a 0% chance that a standard sniper spotter team tasked with covering such a critical direct line of sight rooftop did not spot a man crawling for over two minutes on an exposed rooftop with a rifle.
The shooter's approach was amateurish.
It wouldn't even pass basic training.
He was fully exposed, easily visible to the public on a critical rooftop and extremely slow.
Added to this, you have members of the public pointing out the shooter.
The only reason not to spot the shooter is that it was willfully ignored by the assigned counter sniper spotter or a portion of the total area to be covered was deliberately excluded by the event team leader or snipers spotters were misdirected.
Willful allowance is much more likely.
From the video footage and the audible gunfire, it also appears that the designated counter-sniper had the shooter in his line of sight, but specifically waited until the first few shots were fired before neutralizing him.
It was sheer luck that the shooter missed.
So, the shooter was allowed to do it, he says.
Inside job.
Yep.
Most definitely an inside job.
And in fact, I've got a special report to play for you here that I recorded earlier today.
Assassination attempt of Trump was a deep state inside jobs.
So we'll give that a listen.

With that said, here's a special report.
The assassination attempt of Trump was a deep state inside job.
All right, as more data points are being gathered now about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, it's becoming increasingly clear that this was a deep state inside job.
I'm going to go over some of that evidence and analysis for you here.
Now, in order to understand this, you need to know that Secret Service is under the Department of Homeland Security.
So the boss of Secret Service...
Is Alejandro Mayorkas, an individual who is a traitor to this nation, who has...
He's a mastermind, by the way.
He's a very high IQ traitor who has masterminded the invasion of the United States of America and who has been called out for his complicity in building the invasion camps.
In Panama, for example, Michael Jan has exposed this, Ann Vandersteel has exposed this.
And Alejandro Mayorkas is responsible, I believe, for ordering Secret Service to withhold full protection from Donald Trump to make sure that there would be gaps in his security.
You've also seen members of Congress, Democrats, calling for removing Secret Service protection from Donald Trump entirely.
To make it so that he has no protection.
And they also want to throw him in jail and then strip away protection from him in jail so they can murder him in jail.
And that may be the next thing they attempt to do.
Although, at this point, I think that Governor DeSantis or Governor Abbott of Texas should offer Trump sanctuary.
Because if the federal government So that's something to watch out for coming up, by the way, just keep that in mind.
But here's what it looks like happened.
The deep state, most likely the FBI, radicalized the shooter.
A 20-year-old shooter, clearly meant to be sacrificed.
Note that they shot him dead after he opened fire on Trump.
It's also clear that the head of Secret Service, a woman, former executive at Pepsi, who doesn't know anything about security, she was a DEI hire.
Her name is Cheadle.
That's her last name, Cheadle.
C-H-E-A-D-L-E, I believe is how it's spelled.
She's in charge...
Secret Service.
And she has put, as her goals, a bunch of DEI woke hires.
She wants to have 30% women in a Secret Service, regardless of whether they can find 30% of women who are qualified.
They just want to slap them in there just to say, we have more women.
And then next, it'll be transgenders.
And then, you know, after that, it'll be gays.
And it'll be just LGBT. They're infiltrating everything and trying to take over everything.
So that's what they want to happen.
It's clear to me that Cheadle must have issued rules of engagement orders to the on-site Secret Service personnel to tell them, do not engage any threats.
If there's any honesty in the investigation, this will come out.
But of course, the FBI is running the investigation now, which means it'll all be covered up.
So this will never come from official sources.
But it's abundantly clear that the counter-sniper on the roof of that barn He was glassing the threat, the shooter.
Glassing means he had him in his optics.
And he was watching him, observing.
And it's clear that he waited to take the shot until the shooter himself had opened fire.
And that's opposed to protocol.
And so I interviewed two experts, one an expert in security and another expert in ballistics, about the rules of engagement.
And they said there's no way that the rules of engagement would have prohibited a countersniper from opening fire once a threat is presenting with a weapon.
But for some reason, this countersniper waited and waited and waited until the shooter opened fire And then took out the shooter.
Now, I believe that what was supposed to happen is that the shooter would kill Trump, and then Secret Service would kill the shooter.
Because, of course, they had to cover up the evidence.
So, you know, the shooter's brains are blown out, which is exactly what happened.
And he did hit Trump, but he only hit him in the ear.
So this did not go according to the plan of Alejandro Mayorkas.
I believe Mayorkas ordered this assassination.
At the orders of Joe Biden.
Because Joe Biden said days ago, quite publicly, that it's time to put Trump in the bullseye.
No doubt saying that, and also whatever secret memos went out, were trying to activate the various plans to assassinate Donald Trump, to do it on live television, because Fox News was covering this rally, which they normally don't do, to traumatize America.
JFK style, to traumatize America, take out Trump, and to try to cause an eruption, a revolt of Trump supporters across America, to try to spark off a civil war type of event that would then allow the Biden regime to declare martial law and to paint Trump supporters even more as insurrectionists and dangerous violent felons and so on,
and to cancel the election And then to achieve gun confiscation, the mass imprisonment, the arrests of all Trump supporters, shutting down all websites that support Trump, and so on.
This was the plan.
And that bullet was one inch away from making that plan a reality, by the way.
It was by the grace of God that that bullet missed Trump's skull and only split his ear.
Otherwise, right now today, we would probably be in the middle of a civil war revolt that would no doubt be augmented by the FBI-run Patriot Front group that would run around carrying out acts of violence for the CNN cameras so that the left-wing media could broadcast that all Trump supporters are radical violent terrorists.
That was the goal.
Mayorkas is behind it.
I'm sure of it because Mayorkas is a traitor.
We have named Mayorkas in our lawsuit, by the way, our censorship lawsuit.
We're suing him and the DOD and the DOJ and Homeland Security and so on.
But Mayorkas is responsible for the invasion of America.
Now, why would Mayorkas go along with this?
Because he knows that if Trump is elected, the invasion of America will be halted.
That's why.
And the overall plan to destroy America from within requires the invasion to succeed.
It requires millions more invaders To be allowed into the United States.
And that can't happen under Trump.
So they're willing to kill Trump in order to make that plan a reality.
And you notice, by the way, how confident Joe Biden has been lately.
Why has he refused to step down?
And why did he say in his interview with George Stephanopoulos that Trump is going to be challenged in a whole new way?
Why did he say that?
Well, Biden knew that the plan was for Trump to be dead by now.
And if Trump were killed, then Biden wouldn't really have much opposition in terms of the election, and he would sail through, despite the fact that he's cognitively incompetent at this point.
That's why Biden stayed in the race.
So now that Trump survived the assassination attempt, you have to wonder, Will Biden bow out now?
Like, what's the Democrats' real plan from this point forward?
I mean, now they're going to have to go to Plan B and maybe Plan C and Plan D and so on.
They've got all those plans.
They've got false flag operations.
They've got EMP weapons.
They've got dirty bomb nuclear terrorism plans ready to roll out.
Trust me on that.
That's the deep state.
They always have backup plans.
But as they go through these one by one and they keep failing, eventually they're going to run out of plans.
They're also running out of time.
There's like, what, 112 days or something before the election.
It's basically less than four months, right?
So they're running out of time as they're running out of plans.
And at some point, the Democrats are going to have to shift to an emergency plan to just accept the fact that Trump will win the presidency.
But then the Democrats would do everything they can to try to cause mass chaos and anarchy, try to shore up their positions in the House and the Senate and the governorships and so on.
Just rig as many local elections as they can to try to stop a Trump presidency.
And of course, the deep state will roll out all kinds of Russia collusion hoaxes.
Some of that has already begun again.
You've seen some of those stories in the media saying, oh, my God, Russians are helping Trump again.
No, you're just lying again, and anybody dumb enough to believe that again is retarded, frankly.
So be ready for anything.
It's going to get ugly as the Democrats get more and more desperate.
And thank you for listening.
Mike Adams here, The Health Ranger, naturalnews.com, and brighteon.com.
Take care.
All right, welcome back.
Let me play a video for you of Congressman Dan Goldman saying that Trump must be eliminated.
This is the kind of thing that you get from Democrats and some right-o Republicans, by the way, who are calling for Trump's death, or they have been calling for Trump's death, calling for him to be killed, including, again, Congressman Dan Goldman.
Check this out.
It's unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again.
He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated.
And by the way, my friend Michael Yan, he and I chatted about this, and he said, look, there's going to be a pipeline of suicide shooters at this point.
He said he's seen it in other countries where once they unleash the first suicide shooter, They keep them coming.
And he said that in America, whoever's running these suicide shooters has lots of them on the shelf.
And he says that these suicide shooters are unleashed like weapons.
They're used like weapons.
They can even be bought and sold like weapons, by the way, he says.
So, you know, one deep state agency might sell a suicide shooter to another agency who might then use it for a specific purpose or to assassinate a specific person.
And this happens all the time.
And by the way, there's been a string of assassinations globally.
Here's a tweet from Alex Christopheru from the Duran.
He says, On May 15th, Robert Fico, Prime Minister, Slovak Prime Minister, was the target of an attempted assassination.
July 14th, Donald Trump, target of an attempted assassination.
The day before, July 13th, Who's this Kirillov Budanov, head of Ukrainian military intelligence, says there have been attempts on Putin and all have failed.
He says, Trump lawfare has failed.
Biden is in full meltdown.
Kamala is not a viable option.
Project Ukraine is a neocon disaster.
The NATO summit was a train wreck.
EU is a deindustrialized mess.
Bricks is rising.
Africa is shifting east.
Yellen admits sanctions are not working.
MBS warned G7 against asset confiscation.
That's Mohammed bin Salman.
Orban, shuttle diplomacy for peace, meets with Zelensky, Putin, Xi, Erdogan, and Trump.
He summarizes, we are entering a very dark five to six months, but there is light at the end of this tunnel.
Well, yes.
Yes, going back to the prophecy, this is going to be very dark.
Actually, well, let me lay this out for you here.
It's going to be dark from now to Election Day, and then it's going to get darker after Trump wins.
It's got to be, like, mass chaos from the left.
All kinds of shootings and assassinations and sabotage and arson and, you know, firebombing, whatever, from the left.
Antifa's going to go berserk.
And then, after Trump gets into office, then the establishment is going to collapse the economy.
And who knows how long that's going to last.
So folks, we're looking at at least a year, probably several years of some very, very dark times.
I would imagine the economic collapse will last maybe three to five years, is my guess.
And that's, yeah, I know.
Sucks, right?
If you thought it was bad now, wait for a year from now when half the country loses all their money in the bank, you know?
The dollars collapse and banks fail, all that.
It's going to get way crazier than it is right now.
So that's a reminder to take all precautions and preparedness actions today that make sense.
All right, so let's go to our interviews.
First, I've got an interview with HiCap.
HiCap.
Who has run security detail operations, border operations, you know, trafficking interdiction operations and so on.
Very accomplished shooter himself.
And so I asked him about the whole Trump situation, what he thought.
And he gives some very compelling answers.

All right, welcome everybody to this Emergency Weekend interview following the assassination attempt of our President Donald J. Trump.
This is Mike Adams of Brighteon.com, and I'm joined today by one of my contacts, sources, his codename is HICAP. And I've interviewed him before.
He has worked with border operations teams.
He's very well experienced in terms of tactical ballistics and security protocols and much more.
Welcome to the show today.
Hi, Cap.
It's great to have you back.
Hey, Mike.
It's good to be on.
What interesting circumstances that we are set in today.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think the consensus right now is that, I mean, literally Trump dodged a bullet.
I mean, to graze somebody's ear, to puncture their ear, but yet that person can walk away is so incredibly unusual.
Can you just talk about that for a moment in terms of combat and the one in a million odds of something like this happening?
Well, you know, based on what I saw in the video and what I heard as far as, you know, firing report versus the Secret Service doing their thing as well, you know, I personally, my own opinion from my experiences, believe that, you know, maybe the first shot was not as rushed, but the follow-up shots absolutely were.
Yeah.
And then, of course, there was a, you know, a volley from the, you know, from the Secret Service.
But, you know, the chances of at that distance, you know, missing a target's pretty...
Pretty interesting as far as not being able to hit a man-sized target, much less shooting at the head.
He was extremely lucky to not have been hit where the mark was probably set.
Seeing the follow-up pictures where they show actually a bullet path behind his head, I believe that would have been a follow-up.
It could have been the one that went through his ear.
Everything just leads to the fact that...
They haven't said whether or not it was a.223 or.556.
They haven't said if it was a.222, which I don't believe it was a.222.
I believe it was probably a.556 or a.223, based on the gentleman, which was terrible, the gentleman who lost his life, had a...
Either a face shot, head shot, but they were talking about the exposure of brain matter, which I just don't think at that distance a 22 would create that kind of a...
A scenario at the velocities that they normally shoot.
Well, it's being reported that an AR-15 was recovered.
And so, you know, you and I can both probably safely assume it's, you know, it's a 16-inch barrel.
It's probably a, you know, a 5.56 round, you know, 62 grain or 55 grain, right?
Right.
Very, very capable of penetrating a human skull and killing somebody on impact.
Correct.
But speak to, you know, a lot of people observing this don't have any firearms experience.
I've seen stories out of Bild, Germany, where they say, well, the wind blew the bullet off course.
And, you know, it's absurd given that short distance.
Talk to us about, you know, why this is actually a very short range for, you know, any kind of experienced shooter and why wind was not a factor here.
Yeah, you're looking at just an average, at that distance that we're talking, you're talking a muzzle velocity, the most common grain weight, you know, 5.56 or 2.23 bullets, 55 grain, just go off of that alone, which we don't know.
All the animals were just using a swag.
The drop is anywhere from 1.5, maybe 2.3-ish at 100 yards.
That's not much of a drop at all, which is averagely around 1.5 inches.
And the wind pushing that bullet would be extremely...
You'd have to have an extremely high wind, in which they did not.
Right.
So you would not see a little to no wind shift at that distance based on what I observed through the video that was being shown looking at flags and posters people were having.
They weren't having a hard time holding them up.
There just wasn't a lot of wind.
Right.
And confirm, if you would, that if you and I were out target shooting steel plates, let's say, at 150 yards, which is a little bit farther than what this was, we wouldn't even bother for wind compensation at that range.
Yeah, that's correct.
Yeah.
And I actually calculated the flight time of that round based on a 2,500 feet per second muzzle velocity.
Flight time is 0.167 seconds.
So there's no time for wind to affect it.
And also, as you well know, the wind would have to be a crosswind, not a 12 o'clock or a 6 o'clock wind.
No, it'd have to be a direct crosswind.
Right, like a 3 o'clock wind.
Yeah.
So those who are saying that wind caused the mist, I don't think they understand marksmanship at all.
I agree.
I agree with you.
And I think he got up on top of that roof and then realized his vulnerability being up there and panicked, rushed, shot.
Because, I mean, it was pretty ridiculous, the whole scenario.
Yeah, talk to us about that, just the fact that that roof could be left open and exposed.
I mean, you have a lot of experience with security.
How big of a lapse was that?
That was a huge, huge mistake.
You know, working with 18 Bravos in an SF unit, you know, been in that unit for almost...
Ten years.
There's no way that you would allow that footprint to be so small when you don't have a lot of things around that area, so why would you not cover them all?
And on top of that, you had interview after interview of people saying they walked up to police officers and said, hey, there's a dude climbing up on the roof.
Whether that dude had any intention of harm or not, you would have investigated it immediately.
He would have ran to find out where this was at.
And to not have reacted to that was a failure on many levels.
But having that opportunity for him to be able to climb up on top of that building was absolutely ridiculous in itself.
I have some friends that are in Secret Service and I have high respect for a lot of them, but they're also human too.
I've watched some of them during training, like, not even want to lay down and get dirty.
So, yeah, you know, you have all kinds and stuff, and I'm not, you know, taking a punch at the Secret Service.
I'm really not, but it is, you know, there's always those in amongst the group.
But there's no excuse for the availability of people that were there, the tactical units, the law enforcement, to not have covered that area.
possible avenue and never even made it an option for that to happen.
Yeah.
Now, this is, of course, an outdoor event.
And in an outdoor event, I mean, they had a close-in security perimeter where everybody that was allowed close up had gone through a metal detector.
Sure.
But, I mean, again, you have a lot of experience with security.
Every security person knows that there's also always the possibility of rifle fire from outside 100 yards plus.
Right.
Anything outside that perimeter that I could see, I don't have their pace plan, I don't have their...
I don't have a risk assessment form.
I don't have their operational planning and their backup plans for that matter.
I don't have that information in front of me.
So obviously I'm just taking a swag on what I would have done and how I would have reacted.
So taking that into account from what I see operationally that happened in the videos that have been posted and from people who are close by to President Trump and that I communicate with and others that, you know, it was a small bubble and they were not taken into account.
Well, they were not allowed to or they were not taking into account purposefully or, you know, unpurposefully.
That's a nice word.
That further out distance for security.
You know?
And why is the question.
There is the question.
Why was that not done?
Okay, so let me ask you this.
What distance would normally be considered for a president in an outdoor event?
Like, if you were running that security, what range would you be concerned out to?
I would have, you know, local law enforcement, you know, doing patrol and guidance of crowds and such and, you know, human control measures as far as people and stuff.
And then I would have my tactical units definitely, you know, high up on every point available and Have some sort of tactical observation going on that they could see further out.
But that would be a minimum of a 300-yard perimeter as a medium line and then a further maybe just observation out to 500.
You know, to be able to see if anybody's out because, you know, there are people out there that are capable of shooting in 500 yards very, very reasonably.
So this security perimeter, I mean, this shooter was less than half of the medium range that you just mentioned.
Yeah.
He walked up there, got up on the building, people watched him do it.
And, you know, he he I believe that he knew that he would not, you know.
He had already come to grips with what his outcome would be.
And and his intent was to do exactly what it was.
Now, you know, there's speculation that he was who he's tied to and all of those things.
But I'm definitely waiting to hear some inside reporting intel wise on some of that.
Just out of curiosity myself to my groups.
But yeah.
Yeah, but that there's obviously everybody's involved in a lot of investigation right now.
And it is too early to reach conclusions about that.
Absolutely.
Let me ask you now about the Secret Service response.
There's been a lot of criticism today from across Twitter and former Secret Service like Dan Bongino, who is ripping the Secret Service today, calling for resignations.
And there's one particular video.
I don't know if you've seen it, but it was a female Secret Service agent who was left-handed, her left-handed pistol, who struggled for seemingly 10 seconds just to try to reholster her weapon.
Could not holster it.
And in the middle of the scramble to try to load Trump into a vehicle.
And any of us watching that are just horrified at the lack of muscle memory.
What's your reaction to something like that?
I mean, have you ever seen a Secret Service agent who could not holster their weapon?
Yes.
I just saw one recently.
I'm sorry, but you have to throw into the fact, just to be fair, to be the devil's advocate here, I hate using that term, everything is happening and your primary I
think?
Who you're supposed to be protecting has got blood on his head and he is going down.
Your training should be to the lowest level of muscle memory training, which means you need to train high in those levels to keep them as a primal reaction.
And you can see multiple people in that scene that were not responding in that manner, like as if they are either newer or they've been somewhere else where they're not training that.
So, yeah, there was a lot of failure in response mentality.
But, you know, given the circumstance of the things going on, I'm not making excuses for them.
I'm just speaking the reality of what is happening.
Even up on top of the roof, the sniper set up that engaged the guy was like he looked and then he got on his gun and shot.
And I was like, wow, you know, I would not have even been leaving my scope.
I'd be scanning constantly the area and my spotter would be doing the same.
And we'd be looking at people individually, how their personality is, what are they doing.
And as soon as I pop...
I'm looking for my spotter to, you know, back me up and push me in the direction I need to trigger, right?
Right, right.
Yeah, he stopped, looked up, and then immediately got on the gun and shot.
Thank goodness, you know, that part of his reaction was very good, and he was able to...
You know, to engage that, which, you know, I haven't heard the distance from where he shot to the shooter himself.
It was a little bit less than the distance between Trump and the shooter.
Yeah, it was like it was a no-brainer.
It should have been, you know, what we call a recce shot, which is, you know, a rapid engagement type shooting.
He should be very confident in that.
And guess what?
He was.
Yeah.
He pulled it out of the hat.
But there's something...
I have to ask you, you're talking about the sniper that had the tripod set up, right?
That's correct.
There was, from one angle, there was a moment where he seemed to reset his rifle.
Like, he almost pulled the rifle up and set it back down.
And that's not...
Recoil from the shot, because recoil from the shot does not lift your rifle up like that.
No, it does not.
Are you familiar with what I'm describing?
Do you remember seeing that?
Yeah, and it looks to me like he actually pulled back or hit his tripod as he was trying to re-engage, trying to get up on his scope better.
And I'd have to look back at it again, but yeah, I agree that there was definitely an odd scenario there.
Yeah, I found it strange.
A lot of people thought that was recoil, but I'm trying to tell them, no, recoil pushes back.
I mean, you know, number one, he's on a tripod.
If he knows what he's doing, he's got his shoulder pressed against the buttstock, and he's highly experienced.
He knows how to absorb recoil and stay on target for a follow-up shot, right?
Yeah, I agree, and I will be looking back at that a little harder on that video to see See more on that.
It just looked like he was caught off guard and literally, and of course they were.
They were not looking in the direction that things were going.
Think about this.
Move, shoot, communicate, medicate.
All right?
That's the key things you have to have in place in your security element.
They need to be able to talk to each other.
And that includes law enforcement on the ground needs to be monitoring a channel that the Secret Service can relay that information So why was an officer not on his radio calling in that there's a gentleman on top of the roof at such and such building direction from the president at 3 o'clock, you know, whatever?
I mean, that would be instantaneous.
And if I'm on my earpiece and I'm hearing this and I'm on a sniper rifle, I mean, it would be, you know, immediately shift in direction, right?
Yeah, you would think.
But that brings up the question about whether...
Rules of engagement.
Do you think these, like the sniper on top, the counter sniper on the barn roof, do you think he was given rules of engagement to engage at his own discretion, or do you think that he would have to call it in and get permission?
He would not have to call it in and get permission.
He would be able to engage.
If a gentleman was on top of the roof and he had a firearm, that right there gives you your ROE. Yeah.
Okay, and you're pretty confident that there's no way that some nefarious person at the top of Secret Service may have altered the rules of engagement?
If they did, there's your answer, right?
If it comes back and says, I got...
Well, there's your answer.
That's a nefarious act because their job is to observe any element that they find to be a threat and have the permission already to use up to lethal force.
Okay, so let me ask you this question, and I don't mean to be splitting hairs here, but you have a lot of experience.
I just want your take.
So this shooter crawled up the backside of a sloped roof, and if he peered over that roof just showing his head at first, but not yet a rifle, because he could have easily sort of kept the rifle by his side until the very last minute, how suspicious would that have been?
To have, like, a guy on a roof looking over the edge of the roof, but you don't see a weapon at that point yet.
Yeah.
Where's his lawn chair, right?
Where's his folding lawn chair to kick back with his cooler to watch the event?
You know, even on a set of binos.
Yeah, that would immediately...
Garner a reaction, a security threat reaction.
And, you know, my understanding is so far that, you know, it wasn't presented that way.
He literally was up higher standing or kneeling or whatever with the rifle placed into his shoulder and shooting.
So he was able to be seen from where other secret service were set, you know, in a tactical position to observe, you know, from a higher up position themselves.
Okay.
All right.
So in the aftermath of this, what do you think is going to be different about the way Trump holds rallies or the way Secret Service covers them?
I think Trump's going to put his foot down, for one, because you saw his demeanor when he was leaving.
He was in shock.
He was, you know, and he was mad.
You know, he was upset.
And, you know, you saw him put his fist up and holler fight and And so I believe that he will...
Matter of fact, I heard, and I don't know if this is true, but this is just hearsay, that he went to the UFC fighting thing that night.
Now, whether or not that truly happened or not, that would be pretty amazing.
So I believe he's going to not allow his campaign to be halted or shortened because of this mentality.
Okay.
I agree with that assessment.
But what about outdoor events?
You know, if this were indoors, it's a far more controlled environment.
Do you think that he might avoid outdoor events or just have much better security at such events?
I think he'll either pay for his own added security out of his own pocket if they're not going to give it to him by the government, which is a conflict, right?
Who's in charge, the paid security or the assigned secret service?
There's going to be a change.
He'll make sure of it.
He'll put his foot down for that.
I think there will be some people who are going to be let go, and I believe that there's going to be repercussions for this across the board.
I believe that this gentleman is going to open up a can of worms that either was set in play on purpose as a sacrificial lamb or they'll start to find things that...
Most likely they're going to push it as a lone wolf scenario, so I don't think he's going to stop his outdoor events.
I really don't.
But I think he'll take into measure that he will make sure that people check his security element and the distance and how they operate that in the future, for sure.
And I would think also that the crowd that attends Trump's events, you know, number one, they're not going to be dissuaded by this.
I think, if anything, his rallies are going to get larger.
But the crowd's going to be, you know, working for security, in essence.
They're going to be looking at everybody, looking at all the buildings, all the trees, all the windows, all the vehicles, right, and calling out anything suspicious, wouldn't you think?
Yeah, yeah, I think it will be.
be, but you're always going to have those ones in the mega mentality that can get overzealous and could actually become a problem, even though they don't mean to be.
Their heart's in a good place, but you have some people show up and they're all armed because they're going to be security, whether Trump's security likes it or not.
That could be a problem.
That's a conflict.
Now you've got, and I'm just spitballing here on what...
What, you know, could happen.
And so that could get interesting.
Which leaves an open window for somebody nefarious to fall into a group like that.
We've seen that over and over and over again.
The Republican side, mega, right wing, whatever you want to call it, being infiltrated by nefarious actors, including governmental actors or agency actors that have been blatantly put out there.
That's not conspiracy.
That's been fact proven.
Yes.
To instigate or escalate people's mentalities, to stir up the pot.
And I don't think that's going to stop anytime soon because we're headed into the election.
Yeah, absolutely.
I know we're almost out of time here, but I want to ask you a couple more questions about things that Trump's security team should watch out for.
In other words...
The way snipers, if a typical sniper, let's say in a military setting, as you know very well, a sniper is not typically going to crawl onto a roof fully exposed.
They're going to sit inside a room, back away from the window, right?
In a dark room.
And they're going to have a narrow field of view of where their target's going to show up.
No one's going to see them.
And this can be done from a van as well.
Aren't there many other far more covert type of sniping positions that could be deployed against Trump in the future?
Well, sure there is.
There can be everything.
I mean, I'm not trying to put too many ideas in people's heads out there, but yeah, there's always something different.
This guy, for example, that did this, he had a direct line intent and he didn't care for the repercussions.
It was blatant in his motivation and the way he approached things was either directly stupidity or he didn't care.
And he was going to do what he was going to do and therefore he knew what could happen.
So if you take that into account, I mean, anybody could be attacked.
I have clients ask me all the time, you know, what is my, you know, because they know me and I'll be honest with them about it.
It's like, you know, hey, what is, you know, the chance, what is our risk management of my getting harmed in this arena?
Well, if we're outside, And we have 50 people to protect you, we can mitigate that pretty good.
But if we're outside and we have 15 people to protect you, it's going to be a whole lot lower.
So yeah, there's all kinds of ways that somebody can...
Engage a target, no matter who it is, you know, the scenario that just happened or any other scenario would be planned out days ahead and you would already have things in place and ready to go for that event.
You know, you would already be prepared.
And now we're talking about AI and drones and all of that.
I mean...
I watched videos of soldiers in another conflict right now, just the other day, walking along and a first-person drone, high-speed drone with explosives on it, came in out of nowhere and hit one of the soldiers square on.
And there was nothing to stop that.
It's so fast that you can't...
You can't stop it.
Even if you had anti-drone capability, it would be very difficult.
It did its job.
It was like getting hit with a grenade.
It makes me wonder if, because of drones, if outdoor events like this are going to be history soon, because the drone threat, especially high-speed kamikaze drones like we've seen deployed in Ukraine a lot, they can be quite deadly.
It doesn't take a very big explosive charge either.
No, it does not.
What you're going to start seeing is a stadium, a podium that has a roof on it, and it probably has a netting drop, like a mesh netting drop that will come down to where it will interfere with anything coming in, like a drone or anything like that.
So to use a small something like that, or even bullets, like somebody firing somebody, doesn't necessarily mean it's going to stop it, but it could deflect it enough Right.
Exactly.
Well, HiCap, I want to thank you for spending time with us here today and providing some, you know, expert analysis here.
We appreciate your time, and I think right now we have to thank the Lord that Trump is safe, because I really...
It pains me to think of where we would be today if Trump had been assassinated.
I think this country would have erupted quite violently.
I'm glad that did not happen.
There is a pathway that's being laid before us all by the Lord, and Trump's was to survive that and be able to continue to fight.
So, yes, I am glad and thankful that the Lord looks after us all, that reach to him and accept Our responsibility and the path we work to be good lovers of Jesus Christ.
I'm not trying to say religious or Christian.
I'm just saying lovers of Jesus Christ and wanting to be with the Father.
So that is the most important thing.
Well, thank you.
God bless you, High Cap, for all your efforts.
And if you notice anything else you think we need to know, keep me posted.
I'll pass it along to the audience.
All right.
Sounds good.
Thank you, Mike.
And it's always a pleasure to speak with you and catch up.
All right.
You as well.
Thank you so much.
Safe journeys.
Take care.
Yes, sir.
You too.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
All right.
Welcome back.
We still have one more interview for you today.
Straight ahead here.
This upcoming interview is with Don Lauchs, who I interviewed last following the East Palestine train accident because he's trained in emergency response.
He's also a very accomplished firearms and ballistics expert, and he's also, of course, a fighter pilot veteran.
He flew the F-111s.
By the way, and trained a lot of pilots on F-11s.
And so he's got a lot of experience in military and firearms and just a sharp guy all around.
So I asked him about the ballistics, about the shooter, about the lapses in security and so on.
And he agrees with my assessment that something's fishy about this, that it seems like security was intentionally left vulnerable.
And that there may have been a deep state plan in place to allow this shooter to take out Trump.
Clearly, the deep state is involved in this.
So check out this interview with Don Lauchs, and that will wrap it up for today, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
So enjoy this interview straight ahead.
All right, welcome folks.
I've got another interview for you here today.
Welcome to my show!
Well, during the East Palestine Railroad disaster.
His name is Don Lauchs.
He's located in Central Texas.
He's also a very accomplished firearms expert who knows a lot about long-range shooting.
He's a veteran, a fighter pilot, and he's here to help give us some analysis of what happened.
So welcome, Mr.
Lauchs.
Great to have you back.
Well, thank you, Mike.
I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and your audience.
Well, absolutely.
And you know a lot about firearms and ballistics and long-range shooting, so give us the big picture here first.
You know, a lot of the public reaction to this has been by people who don't know anything about guns, like they think a 140-yard shot is a very long-range, difficult shot.
So let's start with that and see where this goes.
Sure.
The shooter used a scope, which is almost cheating when you're that close.
If you want to talk about long-range shooting, the military service rifle competition in which I competed in for 12 years, the ranges start at 200 yards, and then there's another course of fire at 300 and another at 600 yards.
And this is done with iron sights, not telescopes.
no optics.
So it's a challenge.
When I first went to compete with a friend of mine who was an expert, he showed me what we would be doing.
And I said, I can't do that.
And there is a way to do it.
And he taught it.
But with this particular situation, and Mike, I'll say this, I read all of your reports so far on this incident.
And you are spot on.
You're...
Your acoustic analysis of the gunshot was right on the money.
Your time of flight...
Of the bullet, of the projectile, was right on the money.
And you could almost tell which weight bullet it was from that information.
If it's a 5.56 caliber weapon, 5.56x45, which is an AR-15 M16 round, you've got 55 grain bullets, 62 grain bullets, and 77 grain bullets, which are readily available.
And, you know, they'll determine what was used.
But first of all, it was just a tragedy that an innocent man was killed.
Yes.
An innocent man had his brains blown out.
A woman is in critical condition.
And another, I think, young man received a wound to the neck, which was not life-threatening.
But let's talk, if you don't mind, let's talk about how the rounds were fired and what was going on.
Please do.
And also speak to the fact that for Trump, from Trump's point of view, to actually receive an AR-15 round that grazes your ear is beyond a one-in-a-million probability.
I mean, to survive that, there's probably almost no one living on this planet that survives such a strike to their ear.
Well, I think Trump's guardian angel has some copper burns on one of his feathers on the wing for deflecting that.
But if you look at what happened, I mean, God's hand was in this.
I'm a Christian, and I looked at this.
There's no question in my mind.
At the moment that shot was fired, Trump leaned forward slightly and turned his head to the right.
To look over at people to the right, and that's when the round hit.
And it was just astonishing, and I'm so thankful that he was washed over for that.
But the round, if you've never been shot at or had experience downrange on a shooting range with high-power weapons, people don't know...
If a round goes by, it doesn't sound like a gunshot.
The best way I can describe it is as if you snap your fingers...
And then amplify that to 100 watts.
It literally sounds like a snap.
And it's very loud, and you cannot tell what direction it's coming from.
Because that snap is the sonic boom.
That's the shockwave of the bullet passing your ear.
And there's no way you can...
The brain can't tell which direction it's coming from.
So I heard...
That's what you heard in the audio proportion.
You didn't hear the gun going off.
If you heard the snap from the bullet going by, the supersonic.
Yeah.
Supersonic sound.
So he turned and that happened, and then they followed another six or seven rounds.
And then that's when the other people were hit.
So what does that tell me?
The shooter realized, if he's looking for their scope, he realized he missed.
He did not kill Trump with that round.
So he just started spraying rounds.
He just wanted whatever he could do to get rounds downrange.
And then that was when the Secret Service sniper, who already had the guy in his sights, decided to fire and took him out.
Right.
There's a lot of things going on about that, but one of the things I would mention, having been involved in government, served on the congressional staff, as well as in the military, this DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion policy that's being implemented, not just in government, but in businesses, is deadly.
It is deadly.
It will kill people.
Boeing has had a lot of bad luck with some of their aircraft recently, and they had initiated a form of DEI hiring.
What does that mean?
That means they hire people not based on ability and not based on capacity.
They hire...
The criteria turns to other factors.
It depends what the factors might be.
It could be race.
It could be ethnicity.
It could be religion.
It could be anything.
But to even out hiring according to something other than skill is stupid.
It's just dumb.
And the military, our military is suffering from it.
So the Secret Service has the...
The chief of secret service is a woman named Kim.
I guess she's in Aspen.
She's in Aspen vacationing, doing what people do when they don't want to supervise something as tight as a presidential candidate.
And that DEI was implemented with secret service.
So you have people working there who are not Have fully skilled capacity to serve in that job.
I believe they're required to hire 30% women, regardless of capacity.
So you end up with a less than 100% organization.
But I mentioned the Secret Service sniper.
Now, what fits here is that the sniper, the Secret Service sniper, already was aware of Of the shooter on the roof.
Because he didn't have time to say, oh, look, there's a shooter over there after the rounds were coming downrange.
The rounds that were fired by the attempted assassin were fired in close succession.
And then it was stopped by a round from the Secret Service sniper.
And he shot that particular shot was a spinal cord cut, which was made right through the shooter's mouth.
You can see that in the one photo I saw of the deceased sniper, deceased assassin, attempted assassin, his front teeth were all missing.
And that's where the round went in.
It went straight through the back of the mouth and cut the brain stem so that there would be no possibility of him being able to move and pull the trigger again after that round went through.
And that, just to be clear, that is a tactic on which snipers are trained in order to immediately cut off any ability of a threat, right?
Yeah, and it's an easy shot from the front.
Yeah, I would imagine.
Because you have to know the brain stem kind of curves around, and you have to know your physiology really well.
So if you're 45 degrees off from frontal facing, you have to know where that stem is in relation to the jawline and the neck.
And it's not an easy shot from any other aspect other than direct front or direct back.
So that shot was taken, and it worked.
But the question is, Why was he not eliminated before?
Well, there's a rumor floating around, probably false, that claims to be posted from that counter-sniper who says, now again, I just want to say I don't believe this is actually from him, but the rumor says that, hey, I had this guy, I was ready for three minutes to take him out, but My, you know, my command or my bosses did not give me permission to take the shot.
Now, I don't believe that statement, but from your knowledge of rules of engagement, wouldn't a counter-sniper usually be given rules of engagement to go ahead and decide on their own to take out a threat that presented a weapon?
Yes, and they would report.
I mean, they're in radio comms.
Although I did hear from two sources that there were problems with radio communications.
But I can't verify that.
So if they were told to wait, you know, maybe they were afraid of getting sued.
That has no place in Secret Service work of this nature of presidential protection.
It doesn't.
So I don't know.
I have not heard that account from the Secret Service sniper, if that's a true account or not.
We don't know what's true and what's not anymore from the Secret Service.
But if there is...
Let's look at it this way.
What if President Biden was standing there and they detected a person on a roof 140 yards away with a rifle aimed at the president?
They would have taken him out instantly.
Would you think they would wait to call somebody?
No.
I mean, a civilian seeing that would take action immediately.
You and I would take action immediately.
But it's just inexplicable that that would happen.
And I'm sure that will be investigated by Congress.
But there again, who are we asking questions of and how truthful are they?
Well, yeah, exactly.
Here we go with the FBI saying it's going to investigate this.
Oh, great.
An agency that can't be trusted that's been weaponized against Trump.
But let me go back to the DEI question in Secret Service because there's a video, I'm sure you've seen it, of A scramble of Secret Service agents, two females also in the scramble to try to huddle Trump into a vehicle.
And you probably noticed this left-handed female agent failing to holster her weapon over and over and over again.
And it's like, my God, woman, have you never done holster drills?
I mean, you know, have you seen the video I'm talking about?
Yes, I have.
So what's your response to that?
Lack of practice, lack of training.
Possibly an inability to ever do it.
When you're training a crew for a task as they are tasked with, you know, personal protection, presidential protection, and they are trained to respond instantly, you just don't go through six weeks of training and be done.
This is something you have to polish.
You have to keep doing it over and over and over again, probably every couple of months, to go through at least a brief course and refresher.
It doesn't appear that that's happening with the people that they had on that detail.
Yeah, I mean, basic holstering, shouldn't that be one of the earlier skills that someone masters if they're proficient in security detail?
Well, safe holstering is just as important as safe drawing.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
It has to be done.
I was just astonished to see that.
And then again, you know, there's a lot of chaos, a lot of noise, a lot of things going on.
But this is their career, supposed to be.
Like, they're either good at this or they shouldn't be on the job.
It appeared to me that President Trump Had more wits about him than they did.
I'm serious.
That's one way to say it, yeah.
If you look at that from the instant he realized, when he heard that, and he heard the bullet go by, and he heard it hit his ear, and he heard the sonic crack, which probably damaged his hearing somewhat, because that's really loud.
And then he felt it, and he didn't wait for anybody to go down.
He went right down.
He knew what it was.
And the Secret Service people were looking around like, well, what's happening?
And as if they didn't recognize what that sonic crack was from a bullet going by.
Or in that case, bullets.
So it was very impressive to me to see Trump's reaction to that.
Yeah, me too.
He ducked.
He went down on the ground.
He was then, you know, surrounded gradually by Secret Service agents who were looking around.
Some of them had their guns drawn.
They were looking around and seeing what's going on because they didn't know if it was a close-by gun on their lung.
They didn't know that.
But they surrounded him and then they started hustling him out.
And what does he do?
He turns to the people he loves, raised his fist and said, fight, fight.
And That is that wherewithal of in a situation like that is just astonishing.
The man would, as a president of the United States, I have utter confidence that he would be able to handle any situation with a very, very detached emotionally from what's going on and be able to make very good judgment in a tight situation.
Yeah, exactly.
And no disrespect to actual combat veterans, but could we give Trump kind of the Honorable Combat Veteran Purple Heart Award at this point for what he just survived?
Well, I think we'd have to make up a special award for Presidential Purple Heart.
I mean, he took a bullet.
Yeah, he did.
He actually did.
I think a combat veteran would say, ah, just a scratch.
A wound's a wound.
Yeah, you're probably right.
That's exactly what a combat veteran would say.
Ain't got time to bleed.
That kind of response.
Jesse Ventura.
Right, exactly.
Okay, so then moving forward on this, now we're going to have, well, wait, one more question.
How big of a failure is it, in your view, that that rooftop was left completely wide open, that Secret Service didn't cover a rooftop that was within 150 yards range, closer than that?
It's absolutely inexcusable.
There is no excuse for that.
That should have been that entire area.
Any access, either from the ground or from an elevated position like that, should have been surveyed, photographed, So they're familiar with what it looks like before they see somebody so there's not a protuberance on the roof.
All of that should have been done ahead of time.
Total laxness.
I just can't believe that that was not surveyed.
They could have posted a local policeman there.
Yeah, easily.
Easily.
So I guess that brings up the next question.
A lot of people online are saying that this looks like an inside job, that it was allowed to happen.
Now, I know it's still early and we can't conclusively reach such, you know, conclusions at this point.
But do you find all of these lapses to be at least suspicious?
Well, it's like the wonderful...
...piece you did on the flight of...
...the disappearance of Malaysian Flight 870.
When you've exhausted all plausible explanations, the only thing left has got to be the right answer.
Yeah.
So, if you look at all these things put together...
I doubt we're in on anything.
I think they were told on what to do, given rules of engagement that may be perhaps not normally given, in order to enable the situation to develop as it did.
That's going to be key, though, to find out what were the ROE in this case.
Yeah.
Now, that is it.
It's going to be supervisory, I believe, a lack of preparedness.
There's just no doubt that the Biden administration doesn't like Donald Trump.
They want to do everything they can do to prevent him from becoming president.
We have basically a mentally wounded president currently, and the whole situation is such flux that it's just really unpredictable at this point.
Well, some people say the timing of this, I mean, there are a lot of suspicious things, like why was Fox News broadcasting this rally live, which they normally don't do.
And then also, this is just a couple of days before the Republican convention.
And if Trump had been killed, then it would have, of course, put the Republicans into total chaos.
And also that Joe Biden's confidence that he is going to win.
And just a few days ago in the interview with George Stephanopoulos, he had said that, you know, Trump's about to be challenged in a way that he hasn't he hasn't been challenged before, something like that.
And that Biden's confidence staying in.
Some people would say that it's because Biden knew that Trump was going to be dead by today.
But again, that's all speculation.
We can't prove those things.
But the more data points you get, the more suspicious it starts to look.
Every possibility has to be explored.
Every possibility has to be investigated.
And if there is a path that goes in that direction, then that needs to be made public.
Do you think there should be an independent investigation outside of the federal government?
Well, that would be nice if such a thing could exist.
I don't know of a case where outside...
I mean, anybody can investigate the federal government.
It's just that you don't have access to federal government documents and personnel.
Right.
So I think what you're saying is an independent prosecutor of some kind.
Would that be more in line with what you had in mind?
Well, yeah, I would like to have, you know, meeting notes, the security prep notes, right, the package of whatever was distributed to local law enforcement and so on.
I mean, that should all be made public.
Well, maybe not made public because it might, I guess it might expose some security protocols, but that should be scrutinized by an investigator, in my view.
And then we run into the problem of what is the depth of corruption in the government and is the government even capable of With a supposed outside investigator to come away with a correct answer to an investigation.
I don't know.
At this point, I have very little faith, if any, that the government can police itself.
Yeah.
I think our listeners agree with you on that point.
Yeah, I mean, look at Jack Smith, the special prosecutor.
He serves unlawfully.
He is outside of law and constitution in that position, and he's still in it.
That's right.
So what can you do when something like that happens?
You're powerless, other than, well, getting into a whole other realm of correction to government.
Yeah, well, exactly.
But this sort of speaks to the importance of Trump winning the election to help reform some of this governmental abuse.
But what do you suppose the Democrats are thinking today?
Like, what's their game plan now that Trump survived this attempted assassination?
You know, what do you think is going through the minds of the Biden group and Biden being replaced, potentially?
Primary thing that's going through their minds is abject panic.
They're running out of things they can do.
What can they do?
They have a president who is obviously failing mentally.
They have now a survivor of an assassination attempt.
His poll numbers are going up.
I haven't seen the latest ones, but I know they're going up tremendously.
So I don't know that they...
If I was them, I don't know what kind of options I would have, other than to just try to do the best I could.
The fact that if Biden drops out, they're trying to get him to drop out.
Okay.
What if he drops out?
What happens to all the money that's been raised for his campaign?
Well, my understanding is Kamala Harris has control at that point.
Well, it could be, and I don't think they want Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate.
No.
She's far less likely.
Her poll numbers are below Biden's, I believe.
They are.
Yeah, so they've got a situation.
It's a terrible situation for them to be in.
But the other factor with them is that, you know, Biden is coming to Austin Monday, tomorrow.
And there's a temporary flight restriction from, I think it's 11 a.m.
Central to about 1800 Central in the Austin area.
So why is he coming to Austin?
Okay.
This impinges on what I want to get to.
He'll be here to campaign for the candidate opposing Ted Cruz.
That senatorial seat, that Senate seat is extremely important.
And what the Democrats are looking at now is they are flailing.
Because I believe that they've given up, but they won't admit it.
They're giving up on the presidential race.
Now I believe they'll be concentrating on the Senate and the House.
The only straw that they can grasp right now is control of the House and the Senate.
Now if they have control of the House and the Senate, then the President's power is...
You know, really, really limited.
Right.
So I think that'll be the new tack they take in the course they're following to the general election in November.
Okay, that makes sense.
And I'm actually hearing that from some other corners as well, that the Democrats are moving into sort of firewall mode.
How do they blunt Trump's presidency?
Yeah.
And of course they did that during his first term with the deep state, the Russia collusion hoax, you know, the 51 intelligence officials, all of that.
But let me ask you one more question about the shooting.
You see all over Twitter right now a lot of Democrats and leftists claiming without any evidence that the shooting was faked.
Somehow, they claim it was fake, that it was just fake blood, that I guess the death was faked, the death of the bystander and the injuries.
I don't know.
What would you say to somebody who claimed that this shooting was faked?
You know, I thought about how to deal with that because I have a number of people that attack me relentlessly on social media.
And I'm beginning to think the best way to handle that is to ignore it.
If it's on news media, you can ignore the commercials.
You can contact their advertisers and say, what are you doing sponsoring this garbage?
I don't know how much good that does because a lot of sponsors are in it for the Democrats as well.
It's a pretty difficult situation.
The internet, I'm not sure, you know, Facebook and that.
I believe in free speech.
People shouldn't voice what they want to voice.
I don't think it's going to get much traction.
He faked the blood coming out of his ear.
He faked the ear notch.
Yeah, but how could they fake the audio signature that, you know, like the analysis that I did, the forensic audio analysis?
You can't fake that.
No, they can't.
They're grasping against straws.
Oh, did you notice on this?
I forgot to mention this earlier.
What was one of the first things that they said about the shooter, about his description?
They said he was a Republican.
Ooh, he's 20 years old.
So I guess he's been really active in the last year, or maybe two.
Yeah, I mean, he probably registered in order to vote in the primary against Someone that he hated, you know.
But regardless, it's clear that he's been, I mean, I would say this is an MKUltra kid, you know.
He's been drugged up and controlled and brainwashed or whatever.
I don't think this is just a spontaneous lone gunman, but that's just my theory.
I agree with that.
I think the mind control issue, and when people see her mind control, they go, ah, they can't control somebody's mind.
We do it all the time with our friends and our family.
It's the way you communicate with people.
You want to convey a thought to them.
So in a way, that's a kind of mind control.
You want them to ideate something, something you want to give them.
If you have someone...
Now, this guy is pretty young.
I don't know how that would work, where you'd have to intercept him in his life to go through the kind of MKUltra stuff that we know about.
But I think he was groomed for it.
I don't think people do that kind of thing on their own.
It's almost impossible, unless he's had training.
He obviously has not had military training or police training.
Yeah, yeah, clearly he's too young for that, but somehow he had enough training of some kind, perhaps self-training, to put around very close to Trump's skull.
I mean, that's notable right there.
I mean, he almost ended Trump's life.
Instead, he ended up making Trump far more powerful, by the way.
Yeah.
And that was...
Go ahead, Mike.
Well, I'm just saying maybe that's the hand of God right there.
I'm sure it was.
I think from my perspective as a Christian and learning the Bible, I'm still learning a lot to learn.
God's hand is involved in this country.
I mean, this country was formed by God's hand 248 years ago.
There's no question.
If you look at the history of the creation of this country, There were things that happened that are inexplicable other than divine grace, divine action.
And I pray, I pray that God has his hand in restoring this great country and healing it.
And giving us good leadership and protecting us from foreign enemies.
In fact, I'm glad you brought that up.
Wasn't George Washington known for having God's armor?
Like, he would stand in the middle of battles and somehow bullets would never hit him?
There was a famous battle when he was, this is well before the Revolution, he was an officer in the, I think it would be the Continental Army.
The colonial army.
It was under Britain, okay?
And it was a battle with the Indians just outside Pittsburgh.
And the name of the place escapes me, but you can look it up.
And there was a battle, and the Indians were under...
This was during the French-Indian Wars, okay?
So the Indians were fighting for the French.
They were like their mercenaries.
And there was a pitched battle with Washington's outfit, And he was on a horse, on horseback, and he was leading the men.
He was out in front, you know, encouraging them to go to wear.
And here's where it gets interesting.
He had two horses shot out from under him.
He, after the battle, he had bullet holes in his coat.
Not a scratch on him.
Now, you know, the coat was flying around, granted.
You know, the bullets were whizzing all over.
But he wasn't touched.
And the Indians withdrew from the battlefield.
Now, here's where it gets interesting.
Years later, again, still before the Revolutionary War, he visited that area, that city.
The Indian chief who led the Indians against him approached him.
Now, this was recorded by a stenographer.
This conversation...
And the chief introduced himself to Washington as the chief who was in that battle, whose instructions he was given primarily was to kill Washington.
And he told Washington that we couldn't do it.
We could not kill you.
We tried everything we could do to kill you.
But when it was clear to me that the spirit guarding you was stronger than anything helping us, we withdrew.
Wow.
So, the founding father, one of the founding fathers of America, experienced this divine protection that many people would say that now we're at the verge of the rebirthing of this republic, potentially under Trump here.
I mean, the parallels are eerie.
I truly believe.
I truly believe it.
And there's one other thing to keep taking into consideration.
Washington made mistakes.
Washington made amateurish mistakes during this course of his military career up through up to the end of the Revolutionary War.
He made mistakes.
But he learned.
Trump also has made mistakes.
And he has learned.
What are Trump's mistakes?
Well, he wasn't in pitch battle with Indians.
However, he has been in pitch battle with deep state implants in the government who have betrayed him.
Who is the one person in his inner circle who has not been investigated or indicted?
I don't know.
Mike Pence.
Oh, well, yeah, the betrayer.
The big one, because it was he who, when it came down to doing something he was constitutionally required to do in the case of verifying the elections, he had every right to contest the electoral votes from the states because of irregularities in states voting.
That was absolutely permissible.
And he said, no, he refused to do it.
Now, what have the Democrats done in the last 50, 60 years?
If they lose an election, do they sit back and say, oh, yep, we lost.
They always contested.
Yep.
Every time.
In fact, there's, even before this assassination attempt on Trump, There was some news breaking that Democrats are starting to work on plans to decertify the election when Trump wins.
Yes.
So they're going to run their own J6. Yeah.
But, you know, getting back to kind of a larger issue, we've got this election coming up, and we know we will have absolute trench fighting and we know we will have absolute trench fighting going on with regarding to voting irregularities, stuffing ballot boxes and all that, and we have to be watchful.
I think that what happened now with Trump will really steal the resolve of the conservatives, the Republicans, to be even more vigilant and get more volunteers out to help watch polls and just investigate and actually work in the elections themselves.
It's got to happen.
Uh, It's not going to be a cakewalk.
It has to be done.
It's going to be tough to do.
It's going to be a lot of work.
I've done it before.
I've been an election judge.
I've been a poll watcher.
And it's kind of boring, really, but in some places it won't be.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, first of all, I just want to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us today and just get your reaction to one more comment.
According to the online betting services, which often have a far more accurate picture than does corporate media polling, Trump's odds of winning Went up after his assassination attempt from something like 65% to over 75%.
It's like a 10-point jump in one day, and that may continue to rise as more people ponder what has happened.
Do you think that this failed assassination attempt has just, in essence, handed Trump the victory if we make it to Election Day?
Well, there was one commentary last night that said, Trump just won the election.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but let me comment on what you said about the betting issue.
Polls are one thing.
People are asked if they're going to vote for a candidate or not.
They have all these statistics.
But the difference between that and betting odds is that people are betting with their money and they don't want to waste their money On something they think is going to lose.
And I consider the statistics from online betting and casino betting with regards to sports and for politics and elections to be a little bit more accurate.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Well, and history has shown them to be a lot more accurate.
And remember, in 2016, in the election, on election day, the New York Times had Hillary Clinton with a 95% chance of winning as the counting of the ballots began.
And of course, that number slipped down to zero eventually.
I wonder, do you remember, did you catch what the betting was on that?
No, I don't recall the betting on that.
That would be interesting to find out, but I'll bet you that it didn't match up with the New York Times polling.
Right.
I think it did not.
But we were all being gaslit by the corporate media, of course, in 2016.
Also, right now...
Yeah, actually, that reminds me of one more question for you.
You saw that news outlets like CNN... They refused to report this as an assassination attempt.
Some news outlets were saying, Trump removed from rally after loud noises.
Things like that.
How despicable is this?
I have words for that that I don't want to be broadcast.
Despicable is a good start.
I think it's cowardly.
It's absolutely un-news-like.
If someone wanted to report news, they should report news accurately, and what they're doing is they're slanting it into the realm of propaganda.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, like InfoWars had a broadcast with the title, Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden?
Yeah.
And so left-wing Raw Story runs a headline that says, well, Alex Jones is now promoting a live stream with the words, assassinate Biden.
Yeah.
I mean, just completely taking it deliberately out of context.
But, you know, you mentioned, you touched on a topic with regard to Alex Jones.
What is happening with Alex and a lot of other people, but not to the extent that they are, it is with Alex.
You have lawfare being waged against Trump and his allies and his former employees, his friends, his family.
And it works the same way with news.
If you have the wrong view, then they'll go after you, and look what's happened to Alex.
And that's a warning.
They don't really care what happens to Alex.
I care what happens to Alex.
You care.
But they don't care what happens to Alex because it's a method of making people keep their heads down and their mouths shut.
Well, it's not working.
Alex, I mean, I saw he was live broadcasting over the weekend on X, and there were literally 800,000 people watching in real time.
I mean, it's much larger than CNN. And that's just one channel.
Yeah, but look what they did to him.
Yeah, well, but they didn't shoot him.
They haven't killed him.
They've taken away his property, but they can't stop his voice.
So even Alex is like, so what?
I gave up my car, gave up my house, but I'm still here telling the truth.
Yep.
That's courage.
That is true courage.
Yeah.

The hurricane that recently blew through Texas caused over 2 million people to lose power in the Houston area.
And more people have lost power throughout Texas and other states as well as this has moved through.
Our sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store, has a sister site called beready123.com.
If you go there, you'll find that they've got power solutions, backup power systems right here.
They've got solar generators.
They've got storage systems.
They've got a survival go bag on top of that and many other items.
Plus, of course, you can get satellite phones and backup communication devices from them.
They've made them all affordable with a monthly payment instead of having to buy everything up front with the phones.
But if you go there, beready123.com, you'll find these systems that I use as backup power systems.
And right now the power grid is less reliable than ever before.
It seems like we're suffering more kind of storms or, you know, outages or just...
Cyber attacks on the power grid from time to time.
It's always important to have a backup system.
These solar generators, you can charge them from the sun, obviously.
They have built-in charge controllers and inverters.
You can run small refrigerators off of these if you want to, or even blenders.
You can recharge computers or mobile phones or batteries for flashlights or even night vision devices.
So this is a really important technology area to make sure that you have squared away for your own personal preparedness and survival planning.
Again, check out the website, beready123.com, or you can go to the Satellite Phone Store if you just want the comms equipment, and that's at sat123.com.
And thank you for supporting our sponsors.
Your own government has the power to activate a kill switch on all telecommunications, instantly shutting down all private phone calls and texts.
An EMP weapon or solar flare can achieve the same result.
