Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and today I'm joined by one of my favorite guests, Jeffrey Prather from JeffreyBrather.com.
And he's also been a host with us formerly on Brighteon.tv, which is now just the Brighteon.com live broadcast.
So he has regular broadcasts and videos and a channel on Brighteon.com.
And Jeffrey Prather is joining us today for his analysis of the shooting, the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump.
So welcome to the show, Mr.
Prather.
It's always an honor to have you on, sir.
Hey Mike, thanks for having me.
Good to see you again.
It's good to see you.
We always appreciate your experience as a former working with DEA and then DIA and all your background just comes to bear here.
I mean, you understand how governments operate or at least certain sort of security-minded groups or divisions.
So with all that experience, what's your big take right now on what actually happened on July 13th?
Well, my biggest takeaway is there's no doubt that the government was in on it.
It's clear.
And I also got to say, besides being a 1811 special agent criminal investigator with the Drug Enforcement Administration for 19 years before I was fired for Fast and Furious without ever having a bad evaluation process, Or being charged or convicted of anything.
I also did a lot of dignitary protection.
And I did a lot of that later.
I did that for foreign heads of state.
I did that during DEA. And I also did that later on for the Tea Party, right before everything else, the MAGA movement got started.
My last presidential candidate dignitary protection detail was for Santorum in Tucson.
I was working right alongside Secret Service guys, and I've shot alongside Secret Service guys.
I've run a lot of dignitary protection details for Joe Paio, Breitbart back in the day, Tammy Bruce.
Many, many dignitaries.
But it's very clear that this is an inside government job.
And the facts show that it could not be anything else.
Alright, so I'd like you to substantiate that to the best of your ability, but let me add in one thing that we've learned recently, which is that Secret Service missed the meeting with local law enforcement the day of the event.
Is that one of the outrageous red flags that has come to your attention?
That's totally one of the outrageous red flags because in Secret Service, the detail you want to be on is the presidential detail or a former presidential detail or the most popular president in modern times detail.
Just like if you're in the Air Force, you want to be a pilot.
If you're in the Secret Service, you want to be on the presidential detail.
And one of the basic things, and this is all laid out by a protocol, is the advanced team comes in, it liaises with everybody, it looks at everything, including all the rooftops, they develop a plan, and they have a standard plan that they set out, and they run all of that.
They run all of that security.
That is not delegated out because typically even large-scale police departments are not very good at dignitary protection.
They don't understand it at all.
So this is a red flag, clearly, that they didn't meet the meeting, that they also denied the local police the ability to have drones up.
They pulled people to...
Jill Biden's detail, where nobody follows her at all.
All of those are huge, glaring red flags.
For example, when the FBI said we're not going to present the Hillary case to the Attorney General, that was a huge red flag for anybody who's done it.
You develop the case and you present it to the attorney.
Most of the times, in my case, it was an assistant United States attorney, but in this case, the case against Hillary was to the United States Attorney General.
When they said they don't present it because they don't think it's good, that's not how it works.
You do the case and you present it and then the attorney decides if it's good.
Anybody inside the community knows that this is a red flag and they were purposefully pulled away.
Now, okay, that's really fascinating.
In addition to that, it's my understanding that normally in the preparation for such an event, an advanced team would have satellite imagery.
they would typically draw concentric circles at various distances around the principal, in this case Trump, and those concentric circles would be indicative of potential weapons ranges and distances and the types of weapons that might be effective at those distances.
So let me ask you this.
If this rooftop was at 150 yards or less, would that normally have been within one of the closer concentric circles to be covered and strongly considered by Secret Service protecting a former U.S. president?
Yeah, you're exactly right.
The standard is three concentric circles.
It can vary with logistics and timing and terrain, but normally that circle would be within the primary detail.
And basically that goes off of ballistics.
And so for basic shooting, it goes from zero to 300 yards or meters And that's the standard military range.
Then for three to six hundred meters is medium-long range, like my Special Forces Special Purpose Rifle would be for that.
And then beyond three to six, that's extremely long range, six to a thousand, and that would definitely be the purview of the snipers.
But this is clearly within their purview, and clearly they would have covered every rooftop Obviously, Eli Crane, whom I know, a rare good former SEAL and a good congressman, said it's obvious that this was overlooked on purpose.
This is what I used to see on the border a lot, too, with corrupt agents, is you don't have to do anything.
You just have to not do something at a certain sequence of time, and then you get paid off or your family's okay.
And that's what this was, but there's multiple of these, is you just don't be here or don't cover this at that time.
And the other thing you're saying is really crucial as well, is I am 100% certain there is overhead imagery.
Cheadle, when she perjured herself several times, said clearly that when she was asked about drones, she said there was overwatch.
She didn't say there were drones, but I'm here to tell you That if the police were denied drones, the Secret Service would have had drones.
If the Secret Service didn't have drones, the FBI had drones.
If the FBI didn't have drones, the CIA didn't have drones.
If the CIA didn't have drones, then NSA had birds, satellites.
The imagery analysis today is unbelievable, still classified.
Wait a minute.
There is overhead imagery of the whole thing, just like with Kyle Rittenhouse.
Wow.
Okay.
So I just want to restate what you just stated, because this is this is a news breaking point here.
You're saying that somebody within either the government or the military has an overhead video that would show crooks, for example, if that's indeed who he is crawling into place on that roof, would show how he got there, would show if anybody showed him the way.
if anybody was assisting him or clearing the way.
Like somebody's got this video.
Is that video?
Multiple videos.
Multiple videos.
I think there's multiple videos of it.
But certainly, I have no doubt.
But again, you can go back to Cheadle's testimony, and she affirms when she's asked about drones, she doesn't say drones, but she says Overwatch, which is another term, because there's different levels of Overwatch to do that.
But the satellite imagery alone is incredible.
But, you know, everybody's seen, I mean, it used to be Falcon View in my day, but now, you know, that's kind of Google Earth.
But the drones, you saw everybody marked with the Rittenhouse drone, and then they had the blurred copy of it, and then they came out with the real copy.
There's no doubt.
Plus, they're talking about, oh yeah, we had intelligence that the Iranians were going to try and assassinate Trump, which is ridiculous, of course.
The reason they did that is so that they could classify it as an intelligence.
And that's what they do with everything.
That's what they did with Mar-a-Lago.
That's their big excuse for everything.
And so there's a caveat called no.
So there's three classifications, confidential secret and top secret.
Then there's caveats.
One of the caveats is no foreign, no foreign intelligence or or con.
The CIA likes to use it a lot, originated or controlled.
But the reason that came out real quick, the Iranian link came out.
You don't hear anything else about it because now it's all classified.
So if somebody were to fire up, file a FOIA request for the videos, they would just say denied because it involves Iran.
Not only that, but it's the sources and methodology of the technology of the drones and the satellites is so good.
That's always been highly classified.
That's top secret keyword stuff.
That's always been highly classified.
Okay.
All right.
Next question I have for you then is about comms and the communication between Secret Service and local law enforcement, because it appears that Secret Service was not covering that building, I think it's American Glass Research.
Where Crooks was on the roof, but local law enforcement was covering that building.
And now we've seen videos that are time-aligned that show police were surrounding that building and looking up at the roof for many, many minutes before the shooting began.
So would it be normal, Jeffrey, for local law enforcement to have a shared comms frequency with Secret Service and to have some kind of a red alert word or like a pull-em-off-the-stage response Word.
Is that a normal procedure?
Yes, of course that is.
Of course.
And in fact, there were police in that building.
If you've seen the film, I'm sure you have.
There were police upstairs.
They had stuff on the whiteboard.
You could just look out the window.
And the only conclusion is that they facilitated everything from that spot.
That's the only thing I can conclude.
Because remember, there's a CAT team.
There's a counter-assassination Secret Service guys.
They come out real fast.
Those are the guys totally kitted out in black and cami.
They show up, right?
So where did they come from?
You've got to have a base of operations for those guys to put on their plates, put on their stuff and everything.
Now, usually it's a vehicle.
The Beast has at least six Secret Service vehicles following it all the time.
But remember, this is the ex-president that they had just put a bill through to try and remove Secret Service protection from him to kill him.
But the point is that all of these elements, they would have to have a Ford operational base, a FOB, to operate out of.
And that wasn't it.
But there were cops from there.
And I speculate that they abandoned that so that whomever they wanted could come in and do what they wanted to do.
You know, and most likely it's Yurik on the roof.
I don't even think Crooks fired a shot.
Well, that was one of my next questions, yeah.
What do you think Crooks' role was in this?
Or what do you think he thought he was doing?
I think it was something like the, well, we all know the FBI takes some hapless Muslim kid in America and says, are you mad at the great Satan?
Yeah.
You want to blow something up?
Well, maybe.
You got any explosives?
No.
Well, here's some explosives.
You got a target?
No.
Well, here's a target.
And they run the whole thing.
In my day, that was called entrapment.
If I was going to do a reverse with you, if I was going to sell you Coke, I actually had to sell you cocaine.
And then I had to take it off.
When you drove away, I'd have DPS or a marked unit stop you and say, hey, you know, you were weaving your taillights out.
By the way, I'm not going to ticket you, but my canine's been sitting in the car all day.
He's kind of bored.
You don't have any drugs or money on you or guns.
And you're like, no.
Well, you don't mind if I run my canine, do you?
And you're like, well, no.
Then my canine hits.
I take your dope.
You get out because it's a local charge, but I'm building my federal case against you, and you never know that it's me sitting two miles back in my unmarked G-Ride.
When I go to trial, then I pull out and say, yeah, I sold Mr.
Adams' cocaine one kilo, two kilos, and three kilos on these dates.
I tested it.
I had it sent to the San Diego DEA lab and tested it, and sure enough, it's 95% pure.
Because otherwise, if I don't take that dope off, then your sharp defense lawyer would say, well, Special Agent Prather, you sold Mr.
Adams cocaine.
What happened to it?
I'm like, well, I don't know.
He goes, well, you're saying he's a drug dealer.
Well, yeah.
Well, you sold him drugs, and he sold – what's the difference?
And the answer then is, well, nothing.
So it's got to be walled off.
It's got to go into evidence somehow.
So the chain of evidence of custody there is totally broken in this whole thing.
Nobody's taking responsibility, and it should be a very clear chain of security of the president from the presidential detail, which now I'm hearing isn't even all Secret Service, which is HSI. Right, but let's go back to the evidence that you were talking about because two huge questions have come to my mind about,
number one, when we do see body cam footage that's been released by Senator Grassley that's from the local Butler law enforcement officers, their body cam footage shows that by the time they get to the roof, the rifle is about seven feet away from Crook's.
And yet, he was shot dead, apparently, with an instant kill shot.
There's a trail of blood.
His eyeglasses are blown off right beneath where his head was.
But the rifle's seven feet away.
One question for you, how did the rifle get there?
And then secondly...
At one point, there's a video showing brass.
There's eight pieces of brass, but they're on both sides of the roof, both pitches, the north and south side, which seems odd if you know the way brass flies out of a rifle.
Typically, it's the same direction.
And then whoever cleared the brass off the roof clearly did not indicate where the brass was found.
So it's like, wait a minute, basic crime scene protocols don't seem to have been followed here at all.
What are you thinking about that?
Well, that's the FBI role now is, you know, in Waco, what did they do after they first filled it with CS and then fired into it with tracers, which on a local level, a cop hits you with CS and then he tasers you and lights you up on fire.
The FBI purposely burned up Waco.
And I was actually in DEA Firearms School at Quantico at the FBI Academy When that was going on.
And what they do afterwards, they bulldoze the remains, the evidence, into the fire.
And in this case, they didn't mark the...
How many times have you seen crime scenes where the little yellow markers, or if you don't have those, you put paper cups out there where the brass casings are?
In this case, I think that photo of them washing the roof off is correct as well.
But that bespeaks that there was somebody else up there, Yurik maybe, who's an Antifa guy from Arizona.
Antifa.com still goes to WhiteHouse.gov.
Or somebody already came up and kicked the weapon away from him as well.
But I'm not sure that any of the shots even came from the roof.
Well, I guess that's not true.
I'd have to say the shot that missed his ear came from the roof.
But the other shots are, I think, from the water tower, and we've seen some fishy video of that.
But the clear thing is, if you've looked at the reenactments of Oswald, or even the Mark Wahlberg shooter movie...
It's a setup.
It's clearly a setup.
And so I think he was some kind of spotter.
Hey, you're doing a cool secret operation for the government or something.
We've seen the cell phone ping advertisements go to near his house, up to the FBI offices, up to the Secret Service offices.
That would have established their credibility that they were for real.
You can't tell anybody about this, but we want you to do this.
And, you know, young guys are all and I was like that, too.
Oh, wow.
You know, I want to do intelligence stuff.
I tried out for the FBI and CIA and I thought I wasn't good enough.
Now I realize I was too good for them.
So you think that he believed that he was part of either a training exercise or a security audit of some sort and that he thought he was working with security or law enforcement potentially?
Yeah, definitely.
I think it was developed because Eli said something really smart because he's a smart guy.
He's a rare, good ex-seal guy.
Seal's got a lot of problems.
God bless him.
And he's a good congressman.
And I know him personally.
And he said, what happened to the silverware in the crook's home?
It was all gone.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Well, most people don't know this, but you can time date fingerprints off of silverware.
And so I imagine that the case officer, the handler, the guy who was running him, you know, had sat down in there with him and coaxed him and coached him and developed all of this.
And that's why the silverware was gone, I think.
Yeah, didn't Eli say that it had been almost medically sterilized?
DNA. They were also cleaning up DNA. Right.
So that's not normal behavior for a guy who's trying to kill the president.
Why would he be cleaning DNA out of his own kitchen?
Yeah.
And why would the silverware be gone?
Right.
And also, what about these...
We keep hearing reports of the so-called improvised explosives that were said to have been found in his trunk, and that could mean almost anything.
What do you think?
Yeah.
I think that the FBI guys are obsessed with bombs.
Remember the DNC headquarters pipe bomb where everybody's just nonchalantly walking around?
And then you see the blurry video where DC is under all kinds of surveillances.
I just think they can't resist And we'll throw in a bomb, too.
It's just absurd.
But it again allows it to be classified as terrorism, which then allows it to take on a classification and be covered up.
That's what I think.
Yeah, isn't it interesting that we haven't seen any photos of this so-called improvised explosive device, nor any real descriptions of what it could be.
I mean, it could be a string of firecrackers and some duct tape, you know?
Yeah, plus this kid has got a, you know...
He's an amazing skill set.
He's shooting his pistol, he's shooting his rifle, he knows how to make bombs, he knows how to climb buildings, he's got encrypted phones overseas.
That really doesn't help the case for him not being with the government.
Where I learned those skills was with the government.
Yeah, unless he's some kind of...
This kid just put all this stuff together on his own?
Well, he's the young James Bond savant, apparently.
He can figure it all out.
But let's talk about the rounds that were fired.
We can hear on audio, and I've done quite a bit of audio analysis with multiple tracks.
We can hear at first, there's three shots, and then there's a pause of about 2.6 seconds, and then there are five rounds.
That appear to be from a semi-automatic rifle in fairly rapid succession, about less than.2 seconds between each of those five rounds.
So that's pretty typical for semi-auto.
And then fairly quickly after that, there's one shot that we believe is from Pennsylvania law enforcement.
And then, 16 seconds after the first shot was fired, then there's round number 10, which we believe is the counter-sniper round from the Secret Service team that ultimately killed Crooks.
So I have so many questions about this for you.
First question is, why would it take 16 seconds for a counter-sniper team that is already aware of a threat to actually take the shot?
There is no good explanation for that.
So I was involved with several third parties who were saying they were representing Jonathan Willis.
I initially said Willis was fake because he said I'm the officer and I said Secret Service or agents, but there are uniformed officers.
Then I was contacted I just put that correction out on my show earlier today, so I'm unsure about that, but the rules of engagement for somebody like that There's no reason for any delay at all.
And Cheadle's just a total DEI incompetent.
You can't go with what she says about sloped roofs or he's only a threat six seconds before.
They would have swarmed him very clearly.
The sniper would have been on him, just like you see in all the movies.
The sniper would be following him the whole time.
But let me ask you specifically, Jeffrey, I'm sorry to interrupt, but Because you've worked with these people.
You've trained with these types of people.
You understand the skill set.
If an accomplished Secret Service counter-sniper with good glass who is monitoring a threat sees a rifle emerge, let's say, and makes the decision to take the shot, how many seconds does it take for him to make that shot, typically?
Well, from send to hit, it depends upon the distance, but for that little distance...
That flight time is like.15 seconds.
Yeah, it's nothing.
But the point here is...
No, but I mean, the decision to shoot...
I mean, how long does it take him to pull the trigger?
So what would be happening normally is his spotter, who is also a sniper, and they're just rotating for eye fatigue in the scope and maybe to get a glass of water or something, is watching.
And then when he's coming up, by the time he's coming up on the roof or coming out the window or whatever with a rifle, the spotter's like, he's got a gun, and then the sniper would be on him the whole time.
This diaper would just be waiting.
And there would be a total conversation going back and forth.
I mean, it's not secret.
Everybody's seen this in the movies now.
If you've seen 15 Minutes of War, the Great Gigan scene where they kill the five terrorists simultaneously in the bus in Africa, their first mission, which was awesome.
Yes, but...
No, go ahead.
Well, I'm sorry, Jeffrey, but it's still not clear to me because my understanding is that the rules of engagement for a Secret Service counter-sniper team is that if you see a rifle, especially from a suspicious person on a rooftop, you don't have to have permission to take the shot.
No, you're totally correct.
You engage.
That's it.
There's no reason.
There's no reason to have waited.
Okay, so what I'm trying to get at is that engagement gap from when that counter-sniper man...
When he sees it and says, that's a threat, I'm going to take him out, from that moment to the time that he pulls the trigger, what's reasonable for that?
Two seconds?
Three seconds?
I mean, what are we talking here?
One second.
One second.
And he should have never got that shot off.
The ROE... You mean Crooks?
Crooks never should have got shots off.
Yeah.
Or whoever that is.
Yeah, or whoever.
No shots.
That's a big Secret Service fail.
And I'm not...
I'm not bad-mouthing them.
They'll say that themselves.
If their sniper gets a shot off, they've failed.
Because counterfire has never really been done before.
SEAL Team 6 did it with Karzai.
They killed an innocent in close protection back in Afghanistan.
But counterfire is very low on the priority of doing anything.
So the sniper was very late.
And so that's either incompetence, which they're not – you can't be a sniper and be incompetent, or it is negligence and it is purposeful.
And in this instance, I think it was purposeful.
And so now that the identity of Willis has been called into question where he said, I was told not to fire, and now that may not be true, that may have been dangled out there by the deep state intelligence community to muddy the waters. that may have been dangled out there by the deep But he should never have gotten a shot off.
And climbing the roof like that, there's no reason why he should have been able to.
That's not a hard shot for a sniper.
So here's a possibility.
Is it possible that Crooks never fired from that roof?
Is it possible that the Secret Service counter-sniper never saw a rifle emerge because shots were emerging from somewhere else, perhaps from inside a room on the second floor or from the water tower, as you said, and thus that might have delayed the counter-sniper round because he and thus that might have delayed the counter-sniper round because he never saw the Because Crook's rifle may not have ever made it over the ledge to where you could see it.
Is that a possibility?
That could be.
There could be a second shooter.
So normally, just like there's the spotter and sniper on that side, there could be a spotter and sniper on the other side.
That may be who got away as well.
Or that may be just like you're saying.
Or again, somebody may have kicked the rifle away.
But one thing I will say for sure, so he was shot, it looks like he was shot through the mouth.
And so normally when you're shooting for a one-shot stop, CNS headshot, the line goes from your nose around to your ears, around to the back of your skull.
You don't go for the eyes, skull stick.
You want to go where there's already a hole, there's already holes here.
So this is where you go.
But if you're laying flat down, then your mouth is now aligned with your spine.
So if you're on your nose, you're a little bit above your back.
Where if you go down to the mouth, now it's going through your mouth.
There's already a bigger hole there, hitting the spine, hitting all the vital organs.
It's actually a better shot because it's going deeper.
You're getting more penetration, which is probably why the teeth are missing.
Right, right.
That was an instant lights-out shot, but we still don't know whether that shot was designed to eliminate the Patsy or to stop an active shooter.
But that shot, as a CNS shot, wouldn't throw the rifle or anything.
That guy would just drop.
Exactly.
It wouldn't throw the rifle.
Right.
Yeah.
So I've seen the helicopter footage that I believe was taken before any law enforcement got onto the roof.
And that footage shows the rifle already seven feet away.
Now, it's hard to place the timing of that shot, but there's nobody standing on the roof when that helicopter footage is taken.
And as we know, very quickly, there were like seven or eight guys on the roof.
And where was the helicopter footage before?
So, again, I will reiterate, I am 100% certain there is aerial surveillance footage.
Hilo, drone, larger drones, satellite, distant image.
So there may have been another guy.
And so that may be, now I'm speculating now, but if you look at Willis, whoever that sniper is, whether he's a local ESU or a Secret Service counter sniper, whoever he is, he comes off his weld to look. he comes off his weld to look.
I saw that.
Yeah.
And that's weird for anybody who knows what they're doing.
That was really weird, yeah.
Because you want your cheek weld and you want your nose weld to stay so that you can track them.
And if you're tracking somebody, they're moving a little bit, you want to stay with them.
So when you come off, it's to look at a wider field.
That's what your spotter is there for.
So if there was a second guy...
Then he might not have been focused on him because that guy might have been a little further away or not in the view or something.
I'm speculating now, but I will say it's very weird for him to come off his weld like that.
I saw that too and I had the same question because it looked like he also moved the axis of his rifle as he resets.
There's a pipe right there, yeah, and the rifle drops down.
So what I think that was is going back to the 1 to 300, 300 to 6, 6 to 1,000 is I think he was looking out further, which he should have been.
I think he should have been covering 6 to 1,000.
And I think that when you see the rifle drop, he's coming in from the 6 into the 3 area.
That's really interesting that you say that because, well, let me go to this question.
It's related.
Where do you think the first eight shots or the group of three and then the group of five, where do you suppose those came from?
And is it all the same place or two different places?
What's your best take based on current data?
Well, I know you're doing great audio work and several other people are, and I'm not doing that, but I can tell you from working with snipers and I hired snipers at Warrior School.
They were ranger regimental snipers who supported Delta on the perimeters, and they've done a lot of shooting and a lot of sniping.
And based upon some of the killing of the innocent guy and the wounds, you would never have one guy at one angle.
You'd have two or three angles, just like with the Kennedy assassination.
So, I always said there was at least two, maybe three, and now people are talking about four.
But the obvious place is the water tower.
That's the obvious place for fire.
Now we've seen that blurry video with the figure, and then there's a wood line right behind there.
It's ideal.
Yeah, absolutely it is.
And let me add that in terms of the audio analysis, and I've been in touch with Dr.
Chris Martinson, who has gone even deeper than I did, but it's very clear to me that the first five rounds, so it's the group of three, then a pause, and then a group of...
But if I'm taking rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, all those 5 rounds have a very clear snap, boom, audio signature.
But after that, it becomes very convoluted on many different recordings.
But for the first 5 rounds, I'm incredibly certain that they all came from the range of about 150 yards.
But rounds 6, 7, and 8 could absolutely be from a farther distance.
I agree with you.
I'm not an audio expert like you guys are, but I'm a tactical expert, and I'm telling you, and I'm used to covert operations.
You want a dangle, which is the initial rounds.
Are to draw everybody's attention, and then the next rounds, coming from a different angle, are the real rounds.
And if you look at, you know, my friend Mike Yon says, false flags are not the exception, they're the norm.
And, you know, we've seen the Kennedy tapes now where there's the driver who turns around with a gun, it looks like there.
And I heard that years ago from intelligence sources before I ever saw that tape.
They want us to focus on crooks.
They keep talking about crooks.
And so the one thing I can say then, it's not crooks.
And to look elsewhere.
And there's at least two shooting teams, maybe three.
There's a couple other interesting things about that that a lot of people haven't covered.
And you can ask any sniper about, and I started out in PSYOPs in SOCOM, but snipers are PSYOPers.
And the PSYOP value of a sniper is incredible.
The force multiplication is like 100 to 1.
You hit one guy and you pin down a battalion.
So the Kennedy assassination proved that.
The message with the Kennedy assassination to everybody else is step in line or you're next.
And they did.
But it works the opposite way.
Tracers, like tracers, they work both ways.
When you miss...
Then it's like, oh, they're not invincible.
They're not giants.
They're not geniuses.
They're just failures with father wounds.
They miss.
We can live through this.
The reverse PSYOP value of what happened at the Butler-Trump assassination attempt is devastating to the deep state.
It may not be surrendering, but it's certainly staggering.
And then with the Olympics, they're staggering again.
Okay, so a question that emerges from that, and thank you for that explanation.
That's really valuable insight.
But if additional rounds were incoming, let's say rounds like 6, 7, and 8, let's just suppose as a thought experiment that those are incoming rounds from really highly trained professional snipers that have time to get their heart rate down and to take a shot or multiple shots.
At that moment, when those shots came in, Trump was down and partially covered by Secret Service on the stage.
One thing that strikes me as so odd about this, Jeffrey, and maybe you have an explanation, is how did none of the Secret Service agents that we know of take hits in those additional rounds?
What's the story?
That's interesting, isn't it?
Because, again, I worked with some old Secret Service guys, and then you would tell me stories about Reagan and Bush, and everybody loves Reagan, by the way.
He was a great guy.
But, you know, Nancy Reagan just loved the Secret Service agent that got shot for protecting Reagan.
But...
I'm hearing that those are HSI, and I've never even worked with an HSI 1811.
They didn't even exist in my day really much, as far as I know.
But their protection skills were really bad.
They were really slow.
The one female was not big enough to cover him, and then somebody drops down to get a hat and get his shoes, and he's like, well, we kind of decided to give him his moment because he didn't want to get off stage.
What?
The principal gets no choice at that point.
Exactly.
The principal is going one way or another at that point for professionals.
And it's all planned out.
I've done this backstage a million times.
I'm like, if something happens, I'm coming up the stage.
You're going out the back.
We're going to this room.
This is our Alamo until we get you out of here, just so you know.
And they're always like, okay, yeah, they're fine with that.
But so...
I'm not saying they knew everything, but I'm saying their behavior looks like they were in on it as well.
Well, let me add to that, because it looks like the HSI agents, as you're talking about, which is, I think, Homeland Security Investigations, right?
A lot of those agents were trying to make themselves small instead of making themselves big, right?
Their job is to make themselves big, isn't it?
To cover.
They weren't big enough in the right ways.
I know, but they were ducking and covering.
Not tall.
Yeah.
Some of them.
And if you look at...
If you look at...
Trump's old details, those were hard guys.
I've shot with guys and I've done fight training with those guys.
They can shoot and they can fight.
In fact, my HMAC guys, we emulate a position where I teach everybody to have their hands here so that you can go for your gun or you can reach out and get hands on somebody.
That was not the standard.
Before Trump got elected, he had an NYPD and former naval officer Keith Schiller in charge of his detail.
And he had come off of the New York counterterrorism team.
And that's an interesting thing because after 9-11, the federal government comes in and goes, oh, another intelligence failure.
Hey, New York, let me set up a fusion center.
And New York went, no thanks.
We'll set up our own.
And I've been into a lot of JTF centers and worked on those.
And New York's is very secure.
He was part of that.
And when he took on the Trump detail, it was only until the Tier 1 Secret Service guys took over is when he faded out.
He stayed around for a while, and he only left when they started going after Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, and I think he actually peeled off that detail to build the evidence for those details.
For those crimes.
But this was not the normal team.
And of course they've got to rotate.
You've got to have days off.
You've got to be able to take your kid to the dentist and stuff.
So it's not just one group of Six guys or something.
There's a lot of them that rotate and there's schedules that got to be figured out.
But that's the other thing is the schedule was clearly manipulated.
They pulled them all off to go to Jill Biden for the most popular president of modern time.
And that's a big...
For somebody on the inside, it's very obvious if you look at the scheduling of who's there.
Another thing is it was right before the nomination.
Right before.
Because at the nomination, he automatically gets more Secret Service security.
So the insider indications of the proximity, of the detail, and of right before the nomination, those are all high-level insider points that higher-ups figured out.
So there's one more point that I want to ask you about, which is the CrowdStrike IT apocalypse that happened just a few days after that.
Many people, including myself, suspect that the timing of that was designed to distract from the outpouring of support, pro-Trump support, that he miraculously survived this and he had the presence of mind to say, you know, fight for America, fight, fight, fight.
Do you have any inclination to believe that perhaps a rogue employee or a hijacking inside CrowdStrike?
I'm not I'm not saying the company itself intended for this to happen.
But is it possible that somebody could have exploited the CrowdStrike infrastructure to bring on the largest IT collapse in the known history of basically technology on our planet?
No, I don't think that was an accident.
Of course, CrowdStrike was involved in the whole Hillary thing, and they said it was the Russians.
As far as I know, last time I checked, they never even signed that final report.
It was a draft report that the FBI accepted.
They never turned over the servers as well.
There's a former admiral that went over to CrowdStrike, but no, I think that's all part of it.
But to go back just a little bit to the shooters and why they're missing and why all this is happening is whether you're a raid guy, a tactics guy, a firearms guy like me, or you're an undercover guy, or you're a disguise guy, or you're a cyber guy, you develop an expertise and it's an art and it takes a lot of time to develop.
But if you're corrupt, You know, you don't really have to develop an expertise because you can cover your tracks.
And so something I always say is their corruption makes them incompetent.
And with the assassination, why they missed, well, the earshot is divine providence.
But the other shots show that it was, I think, a reactive, hurried process.
Maybe that guy had not been on that tower before.
When you want to do a covert operation, A covert operation is much more difficult to do than a clandestine operation because you want to have all of the elements isolated and sterilized so there's no blowback to where it comes from.
Therefore, they can't know each other.
Therefore, different people are running different parts.
For example, crooks, the HSI team, the sniper on the water tower that I'm speculating.
And that's a lot of moving pieces.
It starts to look like running an aircraft carrier.
Well, did you hear in the police body cam footage, I believe file number three released by Senator Grassley, you can hear on the police radio somebody asking, have you secured the water tower?
It's very clear.
It's around, I think, minute 20 or 22, something like that.
I covered it in a podcast.
So even local police were considering the water tower to be a potential threat.
All of the high points would have been considered and marked by any sniper, whether it's police or Secret Service.
Any sniper would just go there, there, there, and there.
It's obvious to them.
But somebody had to be told, no, we've got that, or no, we want that open to draw him in, or no, we've got a plan for that.
Again, that's the opposite of saying just don't be here at this time.
Again, I use the analogy of customs at the border.
Lane 3 on Wednesday from 1 to 2 p.m., just don't stop a car and you'll get $10,000 and your family will be okay.
It's just not doing something.
Whether they're ordered to do it, they're extorted to do it, or they're seduced to do it, or bribed to do it.
But there's a lot of elements in that.
And I think that's why the water tower sniper, which I think the video, you've seen the video footage.
Yes, I have.
I think that guy was hurried.
And the real professionals are not doing this for the money.
It's way too hard and difficult a life.
Yeah, they're doing it for the adventure.
Yeah.
Well, some of them are adrenaline junkies.
The best of them are doing it because they are willing to fight, kill, and die for their country.
Okay.
But I think the Water Tower guy was sloppy.
That's all.
Okay.
Well...
Jeffrey, your analysis has been really amazing.
I hope that the new, you know, Representative Crane, he and some other colleagues, I believe Representative Mills, are forming an independent investigation.
I hope they will ask you to testify, by the way.
No, seriously, I mean, to offer your expertise.
But in any case, I want to say that what you've offered us here today has been extremely valuable.
Give our audience about your website, your shows, and how they can find you and follow your work.
Well, they can find me at jeffreyprather.com, and my shows are live Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m.
Central Time.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
1 p.m.
Central Time.
Yeah.
Okay.
And you're broadcasting on multiple platforms, too?
Oh, yeah.
We're on Rumble and Rumble, BrightTown.
Oh, not on BrightTown anymore.
CloudHub.
You can broadcast live on BrightTown.com.
I'm trying to do that.
I'm trying to work through the tech to do that.
I want to get back on there.
Yeah, Mr.
Friday Patriot.
We'll help you make that happen.
Yeah, because you can simulcast with, like that's what I do, a simulcast to Rumble, Twitter, and Brighttown at the same time.
But we'll have our guys reach out to you, help you make that happen.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
No, no, not at all.
No, thanks for having me.
Absolutely.
Again, your analysis has been truly invaluable and I just want to thank you for all that you're doing and stay on the case.
I think that between you and I and Dr.
Martinson and many of the others who are involved in this and all the grassroots citizens that are uploading videos and posting audio and photos, I think we're going to figure this out well before the official investigations committee does.
Well, the official, it'll never, there'll be no conclusion.
The mistake they made on 9-11 was they gave a rallying point for the Twin Towers, and they're not going to make that mistake again.
Everything will just kind of fade.
They'll never conclude anything.
They've learned from their mistakes, too.
True.
But, you know, Trump says they're not after me, they're after you.
I'm just in the way.
And now what that means is, hey, they can't get me, so they can't stop me, so they can't stop you.
And that's really the truth.
Yeah.
Powerful.
Very powerful.
All right.
Well, thank you, Jeffrey.
It's an honor to have you on, sir.
