	Skunk and stop it.
	Stop it.
	Stop it.
	Let it go.
	Let it go.
	Go away, skunk.
	Walk away.
	Nobody wants any trouble except for you, budge.
	Stop it.
	Don't move.
	Don't move.
	It's okay.
	Nobody wants any trouble.
	You can just walk away.
	I smell you.
	I smell you.
	You smell a little bit skunky.
	Just go away.
	You're good.
	You're good.
	Just back it up.
	Just back up.
	Go. It's okay.
	You smell bad.
	Something smells like something might have gone off here.
	Did you get some?
	Oh, shit.
	You got sprayed.
	Oh, crap.
	Maybe you didn't.
	Something smells bad.
	Oh, God.
	Did you get sprayed?
	Maybe you might have gotten sprayed.
	I'm sorry, please.
	No, you smell fine.
	Okay, come.
	That was very close.
	It was at that moment that he realized she got sprayed.
	Did you get sprayed?
	I think we smell bad.
	Oh, cripe.
	Why does it smell short?
	I smell it on Winston.
	Why does it smell sharp?
	It smells terrible.
	It smells so bad you can't even smell it.
	I don't smell anything.
	Smell it.
	You did it.
	Congratulations. Now we have a big problem.
	So, it seems that when you were approaching that skunk, you were getting sprayed.
	Oh my god, it smells so powerful.
	It smells like vitamin C and rubber tire being burnt.
	But why did you smell short?
	What am I supposed to do exactly?
	What's the plant that I'm just left outside with the dog?
	Paralyzed dog who just got sprayed by his tongue.
	Pudge, why?
	Pudge, why?
	Alright, people.
	I think you can hear me.
	And now you can see me.
	And now you can see all of me.
	Good afternoon, everybody.
	There's a second half of that entire video.
	Not to tempt everybody, but I may or may not be topless in it because I had to wash that dog on the front steps of where we were staying.
	And she still smells.
	Now I gotta drive back to Florida now with that stinky skunk dog in the car.
	It's gonna be beautiful.
	So I'll post that on Viva Family later, but it's in our Locals community and it's on Twitter.
	Now, Dr. Chris Martinson, sir, how goes the battle?
	I have not slept.
	I'm eating like an animal.
	Literally, yesterday, somebody's calling me and I'm putting deli meat in my mouth at my desk.
	It's been a thing.
	Chris, I mean, look, I think now this is our...
	Third time?
	This is the hat trick of you on the show?
	If I'm not, it might be more, but it's at least two, probably, well, it might be three now.
	For those who don't know who you are, just give your credentials before we get into the discussion, your recent analyses, and we get into what the hell has been going on in a world on fire.
	Sure. As if these things really matter, they don't.
	What matters is are you a smart person with common sense?
	But I happen to have a PhD from Duke University in a medical science.
	And I got a lot of physics, chemistry, and math in my background, statistics, things like that.
	Also an MBA and spent a bunch of time in corporate finance.
	Past 20 years, I've been running my own website in my own community.
	And I guess what I'm famous for is I like analyzing things.
	I like making sense of things.
	So that's how I build myself.
	I'm an information scout.
	My superpower, such as it is, is I can figure out things really fast out of imperfect information.
	That's just a thing I'm able to do.
	I don't know why, but that's what gets me out of bed in the morning, I guess.
	It's amazing.
	We talked...
	Peak Prosperity is your channel, is your brand, but yes, please.
	So tell people what that is.
	So peakprosperity.com, that's the website.
	We have a huge community of people there.
	We are really struggling with, as a community, what it means to be alive in this day and age.
	There's huge changes afoot.
	I think they're going to affect our prosperity.
	They're going to affect our survival in some cases.
	And so the question is, how do you become resilient?
	But it's not a beans, bullets, and bunkers kind of a place.
	We have all those.
	But also, you have to have your emotional resilience.
	You have to have your social networks.
	You have to have your spiritual grounding.
	Other things, too, that are really important.
	To being a whole human who wants to be happy, not just merely clinging by their fingernails to life.
	So that's what we're about, is how to become resilient, but do it in a reasonable way and be still good people.
	Very cool.
	And I mean, look, I don't say you made your name.
	You got exponentially more popular during COVID because your analysis was on point and phenomenal and ahead of the curve.
	And you are objectively...
	Hey, look, I'm not going to patch on the back.
	You're smart.
	You can look at things and you can understand things.
	And what brought you to the fore was your ability to analyze and your ability to assess and decipher bullshit from truth.
	And we are now living through, I mean, we lived through COVID in all its iterations of, you know, mixing bullshit and truth, masks, the jab, the statistics as to who was dying, who was at risk, et cetera, et cetera.
	And you were amazing.
	And I think you proved prophetic.
	Now we're living through...
	It's one of the biggest events of my lifetime.
	I won't say up there with 9-11 in terms of catastrophe, although it could very easily have been.
	But definitely, I will remember exactly where I was Saturday, July 13th at about 5.02 when I had just gotten back from a jog and my wife says, did you hear what happened?
	So you've been delving into this and you've been exploring certain theories, exploring certain ideas.
	Tell us what you've been looking into as far as the failed assassination on Trump, as far as that goes.
	Sure. So, an important thing that you raised there, which I think is critical to frame this conversation, I don't know what the truth is.
	People say, oh, you're such a great truth teller.
	I'm not.
	I'm an incredible bullshit detector.
	And when I smell bullshit, the first thing I do is I get a little bit curious.
	I'm like, hmm, why is that person lying?
	Why does that statement not fit with this?
	So, the amount of bullshit I heard within the first hour, It was extraordinary, right?
	So I wake up the next morning on the 14th and CNN has an article up and they say, oh, some audio experts out of Colorado, University of Colorado, had determined that there were two separate weapons that fired the three burst and then the five burst of shots.
	And then there was one more consistent with a sniper.
	And so I'm like, wait a minute, two shooters?
	Wow. And this wasn't just, you know, these were audio analyst experts.
	So I'm like, hmm, that's interesting.
	You know, it was more interesting because this is where my bullshit detector was like, it was like, You were just describing in that beginning, there's skunk.
	There's actually three levels of skunk smell.
	There's the nice from a distance kind of smells like good weed skunk, right?
	There's the up-close skunk, which is a little unpleasant.
	And then there's that burning plastic, what the hell is wrong, chemical.
	All right, I was getting that level of skunk out of the fact that nobody in the media ran with that.
	That was just like this chirping crickets.
	Nobody's picking that up.
	And I'm like, okay, that means there's something there.
	I got to look at that.
	And funny about the nice from a distance.
	I think I edited out the joke where I said, I don't mind the smell of skunk.
	And then my kid said, why?
	And I said, you'll understand when you get to high school.
	And then I decided to edit that portion out.
	But it is amazing.
	You get that close to skunk and you're smelling chemical reaction.
	It smells like a tire has been set on fire with vitamin C sprayed on it.
	Good description.
	You've been watching, I presume you watched the better part of the congressional hearings over the last three days?
	Yes, yes, yeah.
	Okay, so going back, I don't want to play your entire video.
	I shared it with our community.
	You put together a 40-some-odd minute analysis, which was an audio analysis of the popping sounds or the popping of the guns and the echoes where there was clearly a pop, echo, pop, echo.
	Your ability to replicate the sound of a gun is actually kind of beatbox awesome in terms of accuracy.
	Oh, thank you.
	No, it's amazing.
	It almost sounded like I was listening to the video.
	So at the risk of trying to summarize a 42-minute video, tell us what you were looking at then when you put that video together, and then we're going to get into how that analysis is going to adapt to the new information that's been revealed over the last three days.
	Right. So when something like this breaks, my instincts are I just go to the data, core data, and people will start immediately weighing in like, what was his motive?
	And all this crazy stuff.
	Let's go to the data.
	So the hardest data we had, In a shooting, by the way, there's the gun, there's the shooter, and then there's where the bullets went.
	So those are the three things you just kind of have to resolve.
	I couldn't resolve the trajectories because it was just too messy.
	We don't know quite where they went except for one.
	That one that clipped Trump's ear, I'm pretty sure I can place that bullet.
	So I know how far it was from the mic and we see it glance off the stands at the back.
	So we know exactly what happened with shot one.
	After that, we got to get a little guessy about trajectory.
	So I didn't start there.
	I started with audio.
	And so the first thing is also to collect all the audio, because I don't know if you remember, but after the Las Vegas shooting, the FBI magically went to all the people's houses.
	They geolocated phones and took them and said, hey, we need these for evidence, and then gave them back to people.
	And all the files were wiped from their phones.
	So the first thing I want to do is just grab everything, download it, save it.
	So I then ended up with five audio files that we could analyze.
	Trump's mic.
	And then four, from cell phones and other locations.
	And the locations give you information, right?
	It doesn't sound different.
	Is there any time delay?
	Are there other echoes?
	There's all kinds of stuff that can be done, but just immediately.
	When I was on the side, there are two videos shot from the side of the American Glass Research, I'll call that AGR, from hereafter.
	The AGR building, from the side, over, if you were on that side and you looked up, you would see a roof peak and crooks would have been up there.
	And that's really important information because we're at a different angle.
	Trump's mic was downstream from any bullets that were coming towards him, so he's going to record sort of the same experience.
	But from the side, you get a slightly different experience.
	I played that within two seconds of hearing those first three shots compared to the next five.
	I said, these are two guns.
	And my source for that is I'm a gun nut.
	I reload my own.
	I've been to the range lots.
	I probably...
	Put a quarter million rounds downrange.
	I've never had bullets shot at me, so I don't quite have that experience.
	But man, I know the sounds of different guns, right?
	So I'm listening to that first one, and that first recording is just different.
	Just three and then five.
	Totally different tonal characteristics, how loud they are, all kinds of stuff.
	We'll get the spectral waveform analysis.
	We'll figure this out to within.
	We'll probably tell you exactly the make and model eventually.
	And then I got a second one and it was the same experience.
	Now that's a messier audio because we got, that's the woman screaming for her, Ross, whoever Ross is, you know, just making a mess of that.
	And to answer one question, she wasn't saying, I thought at the beginning she was saying crooks.
	She was saying Ross, someone totally unrelated, her kid or something.
	Okay. Yep.
	And there's another later video where we can actually see her standing there, hands on hip, just yelling for somebody that way.
	Put that one on the shelf.
	That's not a thing.
	The crooks thing.
	So we have those, and it's very clear that we have, just by audio, these sound completely different.
	The first three, the next five.
	And so then start diving in and taking a deeper look at that and starting to analyze it from different angles and figuring out there were some variations on Trump's mic because it had a gating function, so it missed a couple shots because it was busy recovering as a microphone, and we got the last sniper.
	So already we have BS stories that we have to confront because Cheadle said, cornered, somebody said, and is it true?
	Secret Service only took one shot.
	Yes. But we have a newspaper report.
	Oh, I was going to say, and, because part of it was, I definitely hear three in your analysis.
	And I thought maybe it was those five were the snipers taking a shot on the shooter.
	But now, what's his face?
	Ray has confirmed that there were eight casings found on the roof, which would suggest that eight shots were fired from the roof, if not necessarily by Crooks himself.
	Correct. So we have those eight, but it's the three.
	Then the Staccato 5, which again, questions about that, because those are taken at literally almost world record speeds by somebody, right?
	And then there's one more right after that string of five.
	So we actually have nine on three separate recordings by cell phones near the AGR building.
	So that's nine.
	And then we have one more, which is the sniper from over a truck.
	Trump's shoulder.
	There's two sniper teams.
	There's a closer one where people saw them glassing and then diving down and then jerking back.
	Not them.
	They didn't take the shot.
	There was another one just about 150 feet away on a different roofline, a different barn, and this is the sniper with a floppy hat, and you can clearly actually see him getting ready to take the shot in a couple videos.
	The audio analysis, the time, when the impulse came, everything 100% consistent, guaranteed, no question.
	15.8 seconds after the first shot.
	That's when that shot was finally taken by sniper team 2. So that's settled science at this point.
	Now we have to account for shot 9. But we have a report that there is an ESU agent who is on leave, administrative leave, because they took a shot.
	And I can tell you exactly where that came unless there was another shot we have to account for.
	And that guy was fully suppressed from a mile away and it didn't show up.
	That's that shot 9. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. So that ninth shot has to be, that's the only unaccounted for shot in the string, and we know an ESU agent took it, which means ESU took one shot at Crooks a full nine seconds before that final shot by the sniper.
	So, if that's true, and they only took one shot at Crooks, how do we explain that?
	Did they shoot at him and miss, and he's still walking around, and so they just shrugged and waited for somebody else to take a shot?
	Best guess I have?
	Did you hear the report that said that the sniper shot that took out Crooks was a one-in-a-million shot?
	Yeah. Do you understand why they're saying that?
	I'm trying to figure out how it was one-in-a-million shot.
	I mean, it would seem to me like the only one in a million shot would be one where you're actually shooting at a blind target, just relying on gravity to hit a target you can't see.
	How are they explaining?
	That has to be it, because if his head was up, that is a literal chip shot.
	Those guys are all sporting night force 7x35 scopes.
	You dial that thing up to 35 power, they could count eyebrow hairs, right?
	So the only way it's a one in a million shot is if, here's a guess, somebody else has already taken a shot, he's down.
	So now you have just literally maybe a half inch ahead because it was that six inch ridge cap on the roof.
	He's already down and flat.
	Now you still have to kind of lob one or just nick right over the top.
	That's more precision shooting.
	I wouldn't call it one in a million because I know guys who could take that shot.
	But it was definitely a tricky shot at that point.
	Otherwise, if he's heads up and he's got a full pie plate going, that is not a one in a million shot from that sniper position.
	Let me see if I can't play.
	I'm trying to cue it up, but it's tough for me to hear it while I'm doing this.
	From your analysis, I don't know if this is where we're going to hear it.
	All right.
	So these are all the shots here in sequence.
	So this is taken from source number two.
	Again, these are the best recording we've got.
	Please. From the audience.
	So this is the audience member that's between Trump and the AGR buildings where the shots came from.
	We can clearly see shots one, two, and three, and then four, five, six, seven, eight.
	And here's shot nine.
	And by the way, I'm going to sort of give a little foreshadowing.
	Do you notice how Shot 1 has a very different sort of a height, different amplitude?
	It just looks smaller and weaker over there.
	And it is smaller and weaker over there.
	These are both stronger and have stronger echoes with an echo being out here.
	This is also included with voices, so it's not totally clear from just staring at it.
	But Shot 1 has a very different characteristic and sound and echo characteristic.
	Then the, any of the others.
	So we'll look at that and look at what we think that means.
	There you go.
	All right.
	Going back now.
	Okay. I don't, I guess you don't play it there.
	Hold on.
	Let me see where we, where we do this.
	Either way, I'll come back to it.
	I'll try to cue that up.
	Should I play this there?
	Yeah. Those are, you can get the one, two, three, and then the one, two, three, four, five are, are in that right most one to you.
	One more.
	Okay. And then what I've.
	Oh, that was you here.
	Also done here is.
	Well, I'll get to that in just a second.
	Let's just start here.
	So this is shots of just the first three shots.
	source 2.
	Thank you.
	Okay. Let me make that a little louder for everyone because that deserves to be full volume.
	Again, first three shots.
	This is slowed down.
	Again. Okay.
	I think you can hear for yourself how shot one is quieter.
	It's just a little bit more muffled.
	Just a little bit, but distinctly has a different characteristic.
	This is going to become amazingly obvious when we turn to the videos from the side of the building.
	But here we are in front.
	And this is important, okay?
	Because... Well, we'll stop it here and you can actually explain that in real time.
	Okay. So, shot one compared to the two-three.
	You say is more muffled.
	What do you deduce from that?
	Well, the best hypothesis I have is that it's being shot from a position which is eating some of the sound, and that would be consistent with being inside a building.
	So, you know how a suppressor works on a gun?
	Are you familiar with that?
	Yeah, I've seen movies, but do explain it to me one more time.
	All right, well...
	You know, so if you have a gun barrel and, you know, they have this explosion, and so a bullet and all these expanding gases come out at the same time, and that's the sound of the gun report.
	All those expanding gases, because it's an explosion.
	When you put a can on, a suppressor on the front, it's just a tube that still has a hole for the bullet to travel through, but then it has all these baffles and rooms, little cavities.
	And so as the air, that expanding gas, is trying to come out, it hits these baffles and it interferes with itself.
	And by the time...
	Some of the gases sneak out the end.
	A lot of the sound of that has been eaten up.
	So they're not silencers.
	They don't make things silent unless you got like a little 22 round or something.
	What they are suppressors and they'll knock a say 150 decibel 308 down to 120.
	Still loud.
	120 is still loud, but it's not 150.
	So same thing would happen if you were back from a window in a room.
	Some of that sound is going to be eaten just like a suppressor that goes.
	Gases are going to expand into the room.
	Now, this is an important point because that video, Source 2, that I'm calling, there's the AGR buildings, Source 2, then Trump.
	They're all in line.
	So even if somebody's in the room shooting out of a window under this hypothesis, you would still get a lot of that directed blast coming towards you.
	But if you were to the side, now that window, that room, if you're back even six inches, is going to completely...
	Let's begin to muffle that sound for somebody to the side.
	So that's why comparing the front signature to the side gives us some sense of what's actually happening here.
	Okay. All right.
	So, and then the first three versus the next five, some people were suggesting in your analysis, it was the position of the camera, the microphone that picks up different sounds differently.
	Or others are hypothesizing that if you're going with the lone gunman, it's Crooks who fired all eight shots from the roof, three accurate shots, and then one, two, three, four, five just into the crowd randomly.
	Explain or debunk that.
	Okay. Well, listen, we're going to need more forensics.
	I don't know if you saw, but Eli Crooks, representative, he comes out and he actually is in the room.
	And he tests this video and he crawls out onto the roof with a 70-year-old guy, you know, another rep.
	So it's not that steep, not too slopey of a roof, right?
	All that.
	And I'm having fun with this because that was just the stupidest explanation ever given in the history of Washington, D.C. testimony.
	And that is a low bar.
	Okay. So the idea is that you actually have to be able to trace the bullet trajectories.
	And in Eli's video, which is less than a week later, he pans over and says, right over there is where Trump was shot.
	The stands are gone.
	They're all gone, right?
	So we have to trust now that the FBI on its own has managed to very, very accurately place every one of those trajectories.
	And here's why that's important.
	So those first three shots, okay, let's sport this out.
	You know, Thomas Crooks, he doesn't have a scope, even though Director Wray didn't know that yesterday.
	He didn't have a scope.
	He had a red dot.
	The red dot has this.
	Fat dot on it that downrange, even if you have the EOS Tech 512, that dot is still going to be about, in its smallest setting, it's still going to be about three inches across at that distance.
	So that's a pretty big fat dot.
	Like, if you imagine a three-inch dot around my head, it's a big thing, right?
	So the first shot nicks the ear.
	The second shot seems to hit David Dutch.
	The third shot hits the second victim in the back stands up there.
	The third shot.
	So we know all three of those shots were really accurately placed.
	They just happened to be a little left.
	Very consistent with a right-handed shooter, a little anxious.
	You know, this is big game hunting.
	Like, how many times do you get to shoot at a president?
	You know, probably, I don't care how many benzos you took beforehand, you're going to be a little jumpy, right?
	So shot one was the most accurately taken, but Trump magically did turn his head.
	If he hadn't turned his head that last bit right then, he's dead right now, or fully scrambled.
	Okay. So, shot one misses, but then shots two and three both also left, and they go into the back stands there and hit two other victims.
	Then we wait a couple seconds, and then we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now, this is critical.
	The first shot is taken in that string of five.
	The next one comes out at 0.256 seconds.
	That's a quarter second later.
	And the next series of those are somewhere between 0.15 and 0.18 seconds apart from each other.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Very fast.
	So you can go to, like, this is a hobby of mine.
	I know people who run, they call, they run these rigs, right?
	And they're going out and they're trying to do pairs and they're trying to do groupings and they're trying to do shots.
	Those are called splits, the difference between those time signatures.
	So a quarter second is a, you had a split of a quarter second.
	0.18 is eight, you know, 180,000th of a second is 0.18 seconds as a split.
	Running those splits was really fast.
	That's fine.
	Junkie kid.
	You know, I don't care.
	Ah, he's just shooting.
	The problem is we can account for all of those bullets passing close enough to Trump's mic.
	One of those, in that string of five, it was the third one that hit Compator in the head.
	So they're at least accurate enough from a hopped up kid.
	He's just missed.
	Oh no.
	And he goes one, two, three, four, five somehow.
	And all of those are right down range where we would expect them to be.
	And those are times, those are times that I would expect from a professional shooter.
	So it's just...
	A little weird.
	Maybe he got them down there, but they just don't match.
	They do not match the cadence.
	They don't match the precision.
	The whole thing is really bizarre.
	So, as far as we know where the bullets landed, we know that they said there were eight shells on the roof, so presumably eight shots fired from the roof or whatever alternative you can get there.
	First shot hits Trump in the ear or Nix's ear and does not hit anybody else as far as we know.
	Second shot and third shot hit two of the victims in the back.
	And your assessment is, it was what now, the one, two, three, four, five, the sixth shot hit comparator?
	Yep, that's the one.
	And we assess that because downstream at Trump's mic, we pick up four snicks of supersonic rounds coming past, but we're missing the middle one.
	We're missing number six.
	And the explanation for that is, well, it got stopped.
	It couldn't make it down to Trump's mic.
	And we know one of the bullets hit Comprator in the head, and we know that it, by definition, would not still be supersonic, even if it somehow threw him through.
	But this is a little...
	We don't know if it was...
	I don't know yet if it was a.55 grain or a.62 grain, because those are the two weights, possibly, of a.223 round.
	.55 is pretty typical.
	But either way, tiny, light things, they tend to disintegrate when they hit almost anything.
	So the idea that one of those rounds could have hit Comprator in the head shattered it.
	I mean, comprehensively.
	And then carried on as a supersonic round, it's like we can't entertain that.
	That's a non-starter for this conversation.
	Okay, now let me bring up this graphic here.
	You'll flesh it out for us.
	How do I share screen with window?
	Maybe I have to minimize this.
	I've never done this with rumble.
	Here we go.
	Okay, so I can go like this.
	Okay, Chris, you're seeing this graphic now.
	This is the aerial.
	Okay, this was not the one I wanted.
	Can you see my cursor?
	You can.
	I can.
	This roof, this here where I'm circling, is allegedly where Crooks was firing from.
	Yes, just a little to the parking lot side of where you're circling.
	Give or take here.
	He's firing, we're tracing this down.
	This is where Trump was speaking.
	And now, the two of the three victims get shot, give or take, I presume, around here, in this stand.
	Because the shots miss Trump or go through and hit the tube.
	Back upper right corner of that last set of stands, yeah.
	That's where we see a video of something seemingly vaporizing or a puff of smoke coming off the rail somewhere about here.
	Okay, where was Comparator sitting?
	I need you to go to the furthest set of stands.
	Here? And I need you to go about halfway, he was almost exactly halfway, all the way up against the left railing.
	So you see the cursor telling me, this stand right here that I'm circling?
	Yep, correct.
	Towards the flag?
	Nope, we're going the other direction.
	We're going counterclockwise, all the way up against that far railing that would have been to the side.
	To the side.
	Yeah, right there.
	That's where we are.
	He was on about, almost exactly halfway up that, standing there.
	Wow, so the idea would be that that bullet was intended to go to Trump and it caught him on the way.
	Yes. And again, it's very highly accurate online.
	So remember, this is shot six of somebody who is shooting a nearly world-class speed, right?
	One, two, three, four, five.
	And we're supposed to expect that he's just staying right on target.
	I mean, it's really good shooting.
	Like, if that was him, if that was that 20-year-old kid, he must have spent a lot of time at the range.
	Because I know guys who've been shooting for years.
	That would have been tricky.
	But, hey, anything can happen.
	Maybe the recoil, it just jumped, it was magic.
	But I can account for all five rounds coming down past Trump's mic.
	Except for that one, which is missing.
	Okay, I understand that.
	So this is where Crooks would be circling it here.
	The FBI in the second floor building that left their posts would have been right here.
	Nope, go a little further left.
	It's the tallest one just in that complex, right?
	That one.
	Wait, behind here?
	Nope, come forward.
	That one.
	Okay. That's it.
	So there is no, if we're being super tinfoil hat theory, there's no trajectory that could be explained from someone firing from this location.
	Hypothetically, there was a sniper.
	Oh, no, totally.
	Totally we could, because there's a window all the way to the far right in that complex, which is just a few feet different from where, right there.
	There's a window right there.
	Is that the window that was open, that people were saying was open?
	Yeah. I don't know if it was open before or during the shooting.
	I can't account for that.
	I don't know.
	But it was certainly open when they took pictures of Crook's body later.
	It was wide open.
	Okay, do we need this graph?
	Do we need this image for anything else in terms of illustrating what went down?
	No, but if you just wanted to, just off that tall building we just established, to the side of that, heading towards the trees to the, not the parking lot, but the other side, that's where all those other videos were taken by those people who saw them on the roof.
	That's where all the witnesses.
	Yeah, they were standing there going, he's got a gun, right?
	That's where all those people were standing.
	Okay. What?
	And I'm trying to find the graph which showed the security perimeter.
	I'll put it in quotes because it looked like a Pac-Man where it literally cut this entire building out of the perimeter.
	So it goes around here and then literally just cuts out.
	Well, I didn't want to do that, but literally cuts out this.
	Okay. So let's take that out now.
	So where are you at in terms of what you think is going on?
	Well, for sure we're having a completely flawed investigation.
	Obviously there's a big cover-up right now, but the most exciting thing, if you can call it that right now, is that we're starting to see some very important finger-pointing between the various groups involved in providing the protection, because I think this is where the cover-up's going to unravel.
	My strongest hypothesis is there's two shooters, and one or at least both of them, let's just be clear, they were enabled somehow.
	By the security apparatus that was supposed to be protecting Trump.
	I don't know how, but they did.
	The whole idea, I mean, when you do the timeline of Crooks, and how often he was spotted, and how suspicious he was, and that he managed to just crawl up on this roof, and we're supposed to believe that he turned around and pointed a gun at a law enforcement officer who then dropped, and then seconds later, shots rang out, is the story they're coming up with.
	But we don't have, like, we don't know anything.
	The whole thing is just ridiculous.
	That this kid managed to get on that roof at all, right?
	Or that that roof was left unprotected.
	Or, and we just heard from, and you could pull up the CNN article if you want, but the district attorney for Beaver County had said that those two guys who were in that room didn't have an angle, they couldn't see crooks on the roof, and that is completely false.
	You can see that roof.
	From those windows is easy.
	It's got pure, perfect overwatch.
	So that's just some guys standing on the roof.
	That's from the helmet cam that came up later.
	But if Eli Crooks has a video where he just looks right out one of those windows, in fact, the window that I think was open, and you just see that roof so perfectly, that's inaccurate testimony.
	Eli Crooks.
	Who is he?
	I mean, is he...
	Representative. Just Twitter.
	You can just grab them real quick or I'll search it up here.
	We can find this.
	He's the guy with the beard who asked some questions.
	Was he not the one who asked the questions yesterday?
	But he's the one who shot the video.
	Not the 70-year-old man, but the younger man shooting the recording.
	He's got the beard.
	Sunglasses on the hat.
	So let me see what's going on in this article where it says a local law enforcement commissioner revealed during a house homeland security hearing Tuesday, stunning new details.
	Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher Paris, yada, yada, yada.
	Okay, we'll skip this part.
	Paris told lawmakers about the communications between the Secret Service and local law enforcement who initially spotted Crooks, the would-be assassins.
	He described the timeline, which makes absolutely no sense.
	Officer left post to look for crooks.
	They were saying there were no officers on the roof because it was too hot.
	Then two of the officers left their post because they were going to go find crooks and relayed the information to Secret Service, allegedly with a photograph, and they still let Trump take the stage.
	And we'll come back to that afterwards.
	So here's why that's so important, what you're reading right there.
	Paris is this Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson.
	He's saying one set of things.
	The Beaver County DA, right, Goldinger?
	He's speaking for the local municipals and their emergency services unit.
	So he's speaking in the capacity of, hey, I got my guys, the state police have their guys, and they've started to point fingers at each other, and they're contradicting each other in testimony about something that is ridiculously important, which is, was there somebody in that second floor with overwatch over that roofline or not?
	And the answer is, the DA is saying, we did have somebody in there, but he didn't have a view.
	We know that's false.
	There is a view.
	So he's misspoken, or does he need to correct that?
	But the state police are busy saying, wasn't us, it must have been these guys, and these guys are saying, hey, you know, and so we're starting to see that.
	We're seeing the first cracks in the facade here, and this is really important, because if somebody's covering something up, we need to know that.
	Like, here's the stuff we don't know.
	What was Secret Service communicating to their snipers while they had glass?
	They were clearly agitated.
	They were seeing this guy.
	What happened when it was two minutes beforehand, there's a guy on the roof?
	Actually, two and a half minutes, in fact.
	Be totally precise.
	Two minutes, 33 seconds.
	We know that there's a report out.
	There's a guy with a rifle on the roof, right?
	And who's that?
	And they're like, oh, it was a breakdown in communication.
	Like, nobody has a breakdown that bad.
	I mean, a muni cop in full gear could have sprinted to the stage faster than that, right?
	So none of this makes sense whatsoever.
	And we know the snipers had him eyes on.
	Snipers, they originally came out with this dumb story that like, oh, our rules of engagement don't allow them to shoot first.
	That'd be bullshit.
	I mean, it's so stupid.
	It's almost as dumb as the roof was too sloped to have someone on.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Would you believe a full eclipse passed over that nobody but us saw?
	I mean, it's just like, no, I wouldn't.
	So there's a lot of inconsistencies here that really point to the idea that this wasn't just a normal breakdown.
	My best guess?
	Somebody had to be talking in their ears, confusing them, right?
	And saying things like, this is a training exercise or stand down.
	Somebody had to tell these people to stand down, guaranteed.
	Because there's no way that that stuff we just talked about happened in that particular sequence.
	Let's imagine even that the guy has a gun pointed at him and he drops from the roof like they say.
	Well, why don't you just put a warning shot in the air to get things rolling?
	Like what, you have to go find your supervisor because there's a guy in the roof?
	Police, when somebody points a rifle at you, police don't just sort of go, oh, I guess I've got to go talk to somebody.
	It's not how any of this works.
	Let me bring this up.
	I think this might be at least one of the relevant videos.
	Let's see here.
	Go play this.
	I'm standing in approximately the site where the shooter was.
	As you can see, I'm a 70-year-old man.
	This roof is not a big deal.
	This is to the slope.
	Secret Service agents couldn't have been here.
	You could play Frisbee on that.
	ADA compliant.
	It is.
	I'm trying to see if I'm...
	So this is the clear line.
	I'm going to see if I can find the other video.
	It's already dismantled.
	Everything's dismantled.
	Everything. There's no stands.
	There's no nothing.
	Because you know what would have been the most amazing thing here?
	Is if those stands were still there, we know that that round pinged off the railing.
	We know if they'd left the stage up.
	Get yourself a six foot three tall guy.
	That may be 6'1", because you know how Trump fibs a little, right?
	So, whatever.
	Just get yourself a dude about that height and put him up there on the stadium, right?
	And then put a little ocular right on the railing where that round pinged off and just sight down the two, and you'll know exactly where that first shot came from.
	Easy peasy.
	It's all been dismantled.
	Now we'll have to reconstruct it and we can all argue about whether the reconstruction is correct.
	Has anybody offered an explanation as to why they dismantled it?
	I mean, it's like washing away a crime scene before the investigation has been concluded.
	Well, if you want the literal washing away of a crime scene, the FBI was seen the day after on the roof with a hose.
	Hosing it off.
	Hosing it off.
	This might be the video here.
	I'm sorry.
	Go for it.
	Go for it.
	And that hosing it off.
	So if you just saw it, Biggs was actually asking questions of Christopher Wray yesterday in the House Intelligence Committee.
	And he said, did you analyze, was the head wound consistent with the tissue splatter?
	Was it consistent with what we've heard from the eyewitnesses on the scene?
	He's just trying to establish basic facts of the crime scene.
	And Christopher Wray's like, well, an autopsy is being conducted by state people.
	We don't really, you know, I don't know.
	Right. Well.
	If there was any inconsistencies, it's been washed away.
	Quite literally.
	It's not inconceivable.
	I believe they are acting in a way to cause people to come up with, I say, tenable and both untenable conspiracy theories so they can then make fun of people coming up with conspiracy theories by virtue of or in response to the way they are...
	Literally covering up what seems to be the crime scene here.
	This might have been the video that we were talking about.
	Let me open this one up.
	Here we go.
	Okay. Back out all the way up though.
	Hold on, let's go here.
	Okay. Oh wait, this is missing the first part.
	We'll see what towards the end because the important part also is the view from the window of the roof where the shooter was.
	I got them up here on the building.
	See what this says.
	I'll go the other one.
	Close the sniper to this shot.
	It's not.
	That's steep at all.
	Just had a 70-year-old man back here climb up on the roof easily.
	See that water tower behind me?
	Secret Service or anybody had sniper teams up there.
	This guy wouldn't have made it five feet up this roof.
	He would have been taken out.
	Behind me, you see the windows that Secret Service was supposedly in the second floor of this building behind.
	Makes you wonder.
	Why they were able to quickly dispatch the individual.
	And then behind me, back over here where those red roofs are, that's where the stage was set up.
	That's where the president was giving a speech from.
	A lot of questions here in Butler.
	But we look forward to doing oversight and getting to the bottom of it and making sure it never happens again.
	This is it, Chris.
	I found the other one here.
	Okay, so we're going to go here.
	This is the important one.
	There it is.
	That's the window.
	Crooks is right here.
	This window has a view of the stage, which is directly ahead of us.
	Yep. That's where Crooks was, and then they're walking around.
	Okay, fine.
	And then this is part two of the video.
	Okay. I can't guarantee that that shot right there is the window closest to Crooks.
	There may be one even closer.
	I can't confirm that yet.
	I'll have to do some analysis.
	But even with this, the first thing I would have done if I was investigating this, of course, is I would have swabbed that room for gunpowder residue.
	Just as if you were trying to get through TSA with a sandwich.
	They put the little swabs on you.
	They're like, this isn't fancy stuff anymore.
	You just do swabs.
	You put them in a bag.
	You send them off.
	And they tell you if there was any gunpowder residue.
	We need to know that, right?
	But here's the thing.
	We know that an ESU officer took a shot.
	We know that because they told us that.
	And we have the shot as shot number nine in the string.
	It's right there.
	Okay. If that's the case, where was that shot taken from?
	I mean, this is like, this would be the most important basic information.
	If we're not talking about it.
	Look at the...
	I'm just going to go back to the aerial.
	Look at the proximity to that tunnel that connects the roof to the other building.
	And then let's just go back here and see on the other image, which is here.
	I'm going to slide this over and we'll see the proximity of the window to that roof.
	And I go to share, window, and image.
	So where we were looking, there's that...
	I think that overpass section...
	Where is it?
	Well, the overpass section is just to the right of that red dot.
	To the right, meaning here.
	Yes, there's an overpass here.
	You could walk across it.
	It's a passageway between buildings.
	And that we saw from the window.
	Maybe we were on the inside window.
	Either way, okay.
	It's a good point.
	So now, ESU, which is the Emergency Special Unit.
	Service unit, yeah.
	That's of the Pennsylvania State Authority.
	That's not Secret Service.
	They've always been told Beaver County's ESU.
	So this is their own, I think this is county level.
	It'd be like SWAT.
	So you've got ESU for Butler County.
	Then you've got the PSP, which is Pennsylvania State Police.
	Then you've got Secret Service.
	And those are the three tiers.
	Secret Service, as we saw yesterday.
	Except we have the gray man from ATF who snuck into the story frame.
	Explain? Oh, you don't know about the gray suited man?
	I think I do, but refresh my memory for those who might have forgotten.
	Yes, for everybody else.
	So it turns out, and Senator Johnson was on this, he was on Maria Bartiromo's program, and he's talking about the fact that the guy, so the first people up, and by the way, we have to talk about, it was 12 minutes after the last shot before, allegedly, the first.
	Two people from Pennsylvania get on the roof, right?
	And they're ESU agents.
	Okay, 12 minutes feels like forever to me, but then again, what do you know, right?
	So they're on the roof, and they say one of the first people who follows them up is a gray-suited man who directed them that they had to send all their pictures to ATF and gave them a card and a number, right?
	And so Senator Johnson calls that number and gets an answer back from somebody there who says, We have protocols for this.
	You know, don't be calling our office and we'll tell you whatever.
	So now we have a gray suited man from ATF who somehow has first access on that roof before even Secret Service is identified as having come on that roof as the story in the story may well change again.
	But so we have we have to throw ATF into the mix here.
	You know, I'm looking for the body cam footage that I know that I commented on.
	So I'll see if I can pull that up.
	So an ATF man's in there.
	Chris, what do you know?
	I believe it was in your analysis, the figure that some people believe they saw on the water tower peering out and then going back.
	Yeah, that's shadow.
	I have full high-def video that's fully analyzed.
	If you don't just take a random bad shadow, because that's a long distance, and it was a hot day, so you get these things that happen, the mirages, right?
	So there's clearly some ocular sort of waviness going on.
	If you don't just take one frame where that waviness hit and you just sort of average across them, there's nothing there.
	Okay, good.
	There's nothing there.
	So we can, at least as far as your expertise analysis is concerned, there was nobody on the water tower?
	Nope, not at this point.
	Okay, and now, by the way, this is one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't, because either there was somebody on the water tower that either took a shot or didn't, or there wasn't someone on the water tower in which there should have been, and that came up in testimony where, like, I saw the video, I couldn't definitively see anything, and I didn't agree that I saw a person there.
	It looked like shadow, and they're zooming in and enhancing and sharpening, and you can make all sorts of things appear or disappear.
	They testified yesterday, and for the last three days, no one was on that water tower.
	Well, you know, I was talking with some people who had lifetime careers of setting up protection.
	And so I asked them, would you have somebody in the water tower?
	And they said, maybe, maybe not.
	I would have to go up and take a look, but there were trees in the way.
	And so they might have had a spotter up there, but doubtful they would have had a sniper team because they didn't have commanding field.
	The obvious spot for the sniper team is on the roof of that two-story building that we were just talking about back in the AGR complex.
	That's the most obvious spot.
	If you want to pull that map up again or the overlay of that site, I'll tell you what they said to me right away.
	This was very important.
	It crystallized everything for me.
	So one of the narratives we're supposed to absorb right now is that they were short on resources.
	So you see those two barn complexes on the right where they have the black circles and those are sniper teams one and two.
	They said, ah, we only had two sniper teams.
	So we kind of had to rely on the ESU for that third sniper team to cover that AGR complex.
	Guys I've been talking to are fully in the business.
	I'm not a sniper.
	Don't pretend to be one.
	They said, look, when you set up those sniper teams, these guys, they don't like to be too close to the action.
	They operate 250 to a thousand yards.
	That's their field of view.
	And so if you put thousand yard circles around each of those two black dots you have on those roofs, they almost completely overlap.
	So if you're short on resources, why would you ever take your resources and double them up?
	On a single spot.
	It makes no sense.
	Yeah, but that again, that plays into the incompetence aspect of it where...
	Nobody's that incompetent.
	Nobody's that incompetent.
	I asked my son who plays Call of Duty.
	I showed him all these pictures.
	He's totally naive about the Trump shooting.
	I just said, hey, you and your Call of Duty, you've just got a new guy on the team and you've been given this new map.
	Where do you put your people?
	And he points to the water tower in the AGR building.
	He's like, if I only get two, they go here and here.
	I said, okay.
	I said, what if you had a new guy on the team and he picked those two roofs?
	He said, oh, we'd kick him off the team right away.
	Newbie, rookie mistake, right?
	And it's just so patently obvious.
	Nobody who's even played Call of Duty makes that mistake, okay?
	So this is important.
	They're out there banging on Cheadle.
	Good enough.
	Okay, she deserves to be fired.
	Get it.
	The person we really want to be banging on is the special agent in charge who had the decision oversight for this and where those assets were placed.
	That's the guy.
	His name is Tim Burke.
	People need to start putting pressure on him.
	He was the guy making these decisions.
	I don't care.
	Cheadle may not have even known anything.
	Yeah, she was a clue bag.
	That's fine.
	Get rid of her.
	But the special agent in charge is the guy who needs to be getting a lot of very hot questions.
	In fact, I honestly think he ought to be detained and we should start there because this is inexcusable what happened.
	Well, it's all the setup.
	Then the question becomes, you know, Crooks' role in all of this.
	How the heck does a kid get in with a gun?
	They don't know if he brought the ladder in, according to Ray.
	He bought one, but they don't know if he brought it in.
	He might have just used the sniper.
	He gets on the roof in plain view of the ESU in that building, but they left to go find him without leaving one person there.
	Sent the images to Secret Service minutes before Trump took the stage, and then Secret Service still allowed Trump to take the stage.
	I don't know how you listen to all of that.
	There's not a big enough degree of suspension of disbelief that can allow you to conclude that that was incompetence and not whatever.
	Did you notice it was Ray's response to Matt Gaetz's question, was this guy Crooks on the radar?
	And then Ray says, doesn't answer, doesn't say yes or no.
	He just says something, blah, blah, blah.
	He wasn't in our holdings.
	Do you know what that, I don't know what holdings means in the FBI.
	Since it sounds like it means database or in their list of CHSs or whatever, I don't know if you heard that part.
	I can pull it up.
	Yeah, I wouldn't have any...
	I'd make the same guess you did.
	Okay, because it was just curious where they say, no, he doesn't say no, he wasn't on our radar.
	He doesn't answer and then says he wasn't in our holdings.
	And I don't know what that means.
	And I'll look to the chat in a second.
	Let me see if I can pull it up right over here.
	Okay, let me just make sure that I don't have my chat open.
	Listen to this.
	Beat and fry.
	Here, bada bing, bada boom.
	Pause. And I'm good at this.
	By the way, this is the guy that thought the island was going to flip over if they had too many soldiers on.
	Look it up.
	I don't remember what his name is.
	Was the shooter on the FBI's radar in any way prior to the assassination attempt?
	Question. Was the shooter on the FBI's radar in any way prior to the event?
	Listen. We did not have any information about the shooter.
	We did not have any information.
	That's not an answer.
	He was not in our holdings.
	Was not in our holdings.
	Before the shooting.
	No communication in any chat rooms.
	No CIs or confidential human sources have any interaction.
	No, we've run a thorough search for the subject through all of our holdings and he was not in them anywhere.
	What wasn't in their holdings doesn't mean they didn't have any communications or know who this guy was.
	In fact, if you're going to have someone who's going to try to assassinate the president, I would imagine you don't want them in your holdings if you're going to use them.
	Were there any FBI agents or informants?
	Okay, then he asked if there were any FBI agents or informants in the audience, and he said, I don't know.
	He doesn't know anything.
	He didn't even know if the rifle had a scope on it.
	I mean, let's be clear.
	So can you explain that to me?
	There was the Pat Fallon from Texas who said, we don't know if it was an enhanced scope or a dot.
	What are those two types of scopes and what is the impact in terms of target?
	Well, there's a broad range of optics you can put on a weapon, right?
	So a scope typically refers to a telescopic sight or something that has optics that are enhancing something at least more than 1x magnification.
	So it could be 2x, 3x, 5x, but it's like, you know, it's a piece of glass that...
	You know, sometimes you can put different magnification settings, but a scope magnifies.
	There are red dots that just have what's called a coincident red dot, but it doesn't magnify.
	It's just like a little dot floating in the air, but it has the same magnification as eyesight, right?
	A magnification of zero.
	The dot's not a laser.
	It's not something that the target would see.
	No, it floats in front of your eyes.
	It's projected on a little piece of glass, so it coincidentally is...
	Out there floating where your bullet's going to track and go, right?
	So that's the fun part about red dots is wherever that dot is, that's where the bullet's going to strike.
	The red dot accounts for gravitational impact on the bullet as it travels.
	No, it would not unless you had dialed it in.
	So you can set a red dot to be true at 50 yards, 100 yards, 200 yards.
	You would do that.
	Nobody would set a red dot for more than 200 yards because it's just by the time the red dot's now covering the entire thing you're trying to shoot at that range.
	So red dots are meant for close-in shooting.
	They're really good.
	They're a lot of fun.
	I wouldn't really rely on one past 100 yards ever.
	Not rely on one.
	I mean, you can use them still, but it's not like a super reliable thing.
	Now, if this Brooks had actually been the guy who had done this and he had brought with him a standard.30-30 hunting rifle or a.30-06 or.308 with a single shot with a scope on it, we're having a very different conversation today.
	This was not the weapon of choice for that particular misadventure.
	And that is to say that an AR-15 is not a long-distance rifle that you want for this type of, I don't want to say hunting, but you would want a more accurate type of rifle where even if you don't get off however many shots, it's more accurate.
	Yeah, that would be for starters.
	The second thing is that you can get accurized versions of AR-15s.
	Of course, you've got special barrels and special match triggers and special everythings, right?
	They can be very, very accurate.
	This was just sort of an off-the-shelf, as I understand it.
	I still don't have the exact model number, all that, but we'll figure that out soon enough.
	I won't.
	The beautiful people of Twitter will figure it out, and then we'll be able to report on it.
	My guess is this is probably not an overly accurate weapon.
	Not that bad, but it's probably not overly accurate.
	I'm going to just check something out here.
	Okay, so now let me bring up the other one, which is the rooftop footage.
	That's Chris Martinson.
	This is atrocious.
	This is what we saw on the top of the roof.
	We won't watch the whole thing unless we have to, but Chris, tell me when to pause if you want to say something about this.
	Here. Yes.
	The guy in the black with the red tie, is that Secret Service?
	He looks like Secret Service.
	It has to be.
	It looks like a punk who doesn't know his shit from Shinola, if I can quote the jerk here.
	Okay, hold on.
	True. Got it.
	We're free.
	So we've all seen the picture of Crooks' bloody head like it's blown out, right?
	We've all seen that.
	So here they are, out of some level of decorum, they're blurring the body, and I'm concerned by that because if he was shot twice, we would be able to tell that very quickly from this particular camera video footage.
	So we don't want the blurred out footage.
	I see.
	So the blurred potentially blurs out evidence that would reveal how many times and in which direction the blood was going.
	When he got shot.
	Yeah, so if he was shot by somebody out of that second story window, we still don't know where that ESU person who took a shot at him, did they miss?
	Where did they take the shot from?
	Where were they standing?
	None of that's been revealed.
	It's just like, oh yeah, somebody else took a shot.
	Like, whoop, gone.
	But best guess I have is they actually took a shot out of that second story window.
	Best guess is it was a headshot because they only took one, right?
	If you shoot him and he's still moving, you still shoot, right?
	That's the nature of law enforcement.
	And we've all seen plenty of videos of police doing exactly that.
	And it's what I would do if I was shooting somebody and they were still moving.
	So best guess, he got shot by somebody early on.
	He's not moving.
	And so we would see those two wounds.
	And then that would, of course, unravel completely the official story that it was the one in a million shot.
	Let's roll.
	You know, this thing happened.
	You know, whatever.
	They're trying to, you know, this heroic shot by this sniper who, for whatever reason, couldn't manage that one in a million shot before the first rounds went off, even though we know they had him in sight.
	I'll play this out a little bit.
	Is he on that bike?
	We don't know.
	So they're talking about the bike now.
	Suspicious element.
	One second.
	I believe the sniper that's seen these and sent the pictures is right inside this building.
	Michelle, is Greg in there?
	The sniper that's seen it and sent the pictures is right inside.
	His name is Greg.
	So we got his name now.
	So if you go to that window that's open and yell for Greg, that's the sniper that sent the original pictures and seen him come from the bike and sent the book back down and then lost sight of him.
	All right, so just to be clear, just hold on a second.
	Yeah. So we've all seen the pictures of Crooks taken.
	He's in his Demolition Ranch gray t-shirt.
	He's peering over his left shoulder.
	The shot is taken from above, looking down.
	And it's a little fuzzy.
	And the reason for that is it's taken out of that window on the far, far end of that building that we were just looking at there.
	It's taken out of that window, and the window's not open.
	It's got sun on it.
	So that accounts for why it's kind of a little hazy of a picture.
	There's two pictures snapped down.
	He's on the retaining wall.
	So we know that they were in that building.
	Taking those pictures, there's disagreement as to over...
	I think there were actually two sets of photos.
	One taken at 514.
	That's the first one where he's looking over his shoulder.
	There's another one that appears to have been taken at 530 when Crooks is on his phone and he's doing something on his phone.
	So there's actually two pictures.
	It's not like one, two, both sort of looking over his shoulder and with slight change.
	They were kind of different pictures.
	I'm going to guess that they had eyes on this guy and they'd been taking pictures of him for a while.
	Now, what's interesting...
	Is that person tried to do what they could.
	They sent that off.
	And all we have is they said that they sent it off to law enforcement.
	Now, did that go to the state police?
	And is that why they're pointing fingers back?
	Did it go off to Secret Service?
	We heard in another news report Secret Service was notified.
	It's a mess.
	And this should be the simplest thing.
	This is the simplest thing to resolve.
	All you have to do is sit all these people down and ask them four or five questions and you know exactly what happened.
	I think I did.
	He's like got his glasses on and his...
	They're so nonchalant about a botched assassination.
	And if you watch, you can actually see the time on there, right?
	And then this is his mic with the stuff.
	Or on the bottom.
	Or on the phone.
	But he would be right inside that window.
	He's the one that physically seen this.
	It just confirms.
	I think it said 7.03 if I saw it flash past.
	So the last shots happened at 6.13 and 45, 48 seconds, whatever that is.
	So 6.13 to 7.03, well...
	You know, it's just 50 minutes after the fact.
	And someone in the chat in Locals said they don't have any circles around the casing.
	I don't know what is, like, proper protocol for crime scene investigations.
	Oh, this is awful.
	I don't either, but it's not this.
	It's not this.
	I would imagine you don't wash it down until it's either solved or until, you know, I don't know.
	That I don't know.
	There's people everywhere.
	They're walking all over the crime scene.
	Look at that.
	There's just people everywhere up there.
	I think you can count eight in this video.
	At least three, four.
	Three, four in this triangle.
	Yep. Then there's a tower behind us.
	And then there's a couple guys behind them.
	And then there's somebody further down the roof.
	It's just a hot mess.
	See, the question is this.
	I believe this was clearly a let it happen on purpose.
	And what you might be seeing is certain layers of police doing their job, and then it just stops somewhere.
	It looks like, I don't know, again, in the chat and locals are saying, who okayed the men to come off the roof because it was too hot?
	Who okayed both men of the ESU and the building to go look for crooks instead of one staying point to see what was going on?
	And who sent in the pictures and then who got the pictures and said, let's bring Trump on stage anyhow?
	Well, and even if you said it's too hot, which I don't buy because we have snipers on other roofs, right?
	And so all that.
	But let's imagine you buy that for a moment.
	Oh, it's too hot.
	Too sloppy, too hot.
	You still, why aren't you just staring at that roof then out of that window?
	Because we already established you can see the whole roof from that window.
	And we have another report where they're trying to say they couldn't see crooks from the window, so now this whole story has fallen apart.
	This is a hot mess right now.
	They obviously couldn't see him because they weren't in the room to look at where he was.
	They were no longer there.
	Now, have you seen the news?
	So let's get wild and speculative.
	What if they were called out of the room?
	What if a gray-suited man said, hey, come here, I need to talk to you.
	Go look for him.
	Something is wrong with this story, and that's what we're smelling around the edges right now, you and I. And I know that somebody knows some information.
	Oh, this drives me nuts.
	Well, so this is the news of the day.
	Okay, let's watch this, because I have only seen it, but with no audio.
	Okay, just to be clear, just to be clear, the setup for this, ABC News, right?
	We're supposed to believe that the shooting has happened.
	And two brave ESU officers are racing to the scene, right?
	And they have to bust through.
	It looks like they've got the Secura tape going there to hold the fence together, right?
	That's how they're keeping people out of Zone A, right?
	So they're going to bust through this fence and they're going to run across and they're going to slap a ladder up and they're going to climb up like brave men.
	We just need to establish that there were people all over that building.
	There's no reason that we have to focus on these two guys running from 100 yards away like it's an action scene.
	Oh my God, we're part of the action!
	This is amazing!
	But they're blurring out...
	Are they blurring out the time here?
	Where you see my cursor?
	Oh yeah, they must be.
	But anyway, it's just ridiculous that we're supposed to believe that these are our action heroes.
	G.I. Joe, one and two, running to the scene.
	Let's see this.
	Bravely. And by the way, we know from Senator Ron John, the first people on the roof were 12 minutes after the last shot.
	So just put all this in context.
	This is narrative 101 propaganda.
	By ABC.
	Instead of faithfully recording history, they're doing everything they can to cook up a narrative, and it drives me nuts because it's absolutely inaccurate.
	Shame on them.
	New video from Trump assassination attempt.
	This morning, new helmet camera video obtained by ABC News showing the moment's law enforcement raced to that roof.
	After a sniper killed the gunman who opened fire at a Trump rally.
	Officers climbing up a ladder.
	A ladder.
	In chilling detail, the video shows an assault-style rifle flying next to the dead body of shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks.
	A trail of blood seen streaming down that slope.
	If you watch what just happened there, officers climbing up a ladder, and then we're supposed to be first guys on the roof, and they get up there, and again, there's eight people up there.
	They just jumped up a ladder.
	Officers climbing up a ladder.
	Tons of people everywhere.
	This looks all state.
	I mean, this looks like it was planted there.
	Hey, okay, now go get the thing that we were going to use to blame on the Iranians had this gone off.
	He takes out the battery.
	Then pulling out a phone and he checks to Dunman's pocket.
	So, in terms of crime scene investigation, the guy's dead, okay?
	Why are you rifling through his pockets?
	Why are you taking photos?
	Why isn't there a proper, like, you know, actual crime scene investigator?
	There's people kicking all over the place.
	In just a minute, they're going to say they count the brass, right?
	These guys are literally standing on the brass, sort of pointing at it and counting it.
	It's just the most ridiculous.
	This is absolutely not how this is done.
	Now, I get it.
	You can have some incompetent people who don't know crime scenes, but this is one of the most significant crime scenes of our lifetimes, and we're supposed to believe it's handled as if it was a freshman class stumbling through their first adventure.
	It's awful.
	A rangefinder.
	A rangefinder.
	I think it's in the cargo pocket.
	The rangefinder that they all knew he had from an hour before the shooting.
	Police also seen counting the shell cases.
	Looks like, what, at least eight?
	One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
	At least eight.
	At one point, a law enforcement official who appears to be a secret service.
	I don't have crime scene photos on that yet, but that guy's helmet is pointed.
	His face is pointed in one direction.
	He goes one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
	If the guy doing counting is the guy with the helmet cam.
	Maybe it's just being picking up somebody else.
	But I have another photo which appears to show five casings up near the body and three more almost off the roof down at the far end.
	So for somebody to count eight, I would have expected at least a head swivel to look at those other ones.
	Or that picture's wrong.
	And the casings, there was some discussion as to why they wouldn't roll off the roof, but they're tapered so they'd roll in a circle.
	But were the three that were further down towards the blood or towards the stage?
	Like towards here?
	Down that side.
	Down back that way.
	At one point, a law enforcement official who appears to be a Secret Service agent and another officer heard discussing the evidence the shooter was believed to have left behind.
	This is his bike with the stuff.
	This image clearly visible on the phone held by the local officer wearing the helmet cam.
	The new video comes amid mounting scrutiny aimed at the Secret Service and how it handled the assassination attempt, both before and after.
	The alleged lack of transparency...
	All right, then we got that.
	That's not news anymore.
	The question is this, and I don't judge anybody anymore for having different theories.
	I don't know what...
	If there were multiple shooters, two, to take out Trump, I don't see how they would miss.
	To the extent that I would be more inclined to think the kid took three shots and then just started rapid firing into the crowd.
	I'll just shoot.
	Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
	If there were two shooters, then it would be tougher to explain how they actually missed Trump.
	And, like, why complicate it if you already have your patsy, who's the idiot with the gun who's going to go on the roof, get the shots off?
	Why complicate it to have another one?
	I guess the real question is the audio differences between the first three and the next five.
	So let me just, this is raw speculation, right?
	I don't have anything to back this up, except I do believe that there's a vast difference between the first three shots and the next one.
	So imagine this.
	You're a professional sniper.
	You're in a spot.
	You're in the room.
	And the Patsy's been set up to say, hey, listen, you're part of this big thing.
	We're all in it together.
	Once you hear the first shots go off, then it's your turn.
	You add in, too.
	We got this.
	The first shot misses because Trump just turns his head just that last millisecond.
	I don't care how much of a pro you are.
	That is going to unnerve you.
	Now you've got to take another and another shot.
	Maybe you either miss those two because now you're just like, ah, shit.
	You're just thinking, oh, my God, I'm going to be in a ditch in a locked trunk next week.
	Oh man, you're just like freaking out.
	So no matter how calm you are, this is big game hunting.
	You're taking a shot.
	You just missed a shot at the president.
	This place is crawling with Secret Service.
	You want to get out of there.
	You're going to, I don't think you're in your best shooting frame of mind.
	So that would be one explanation.
	And then Crooks would be the guy who then picks up, you know, oh, my turn now.
	And he just wings a few off down there and unfortunately kills Corey Compator.
	That would be a way we could possibly see this going.
	But you know what we need to know?
	Cell phone location data.
	Who was in the building?
	We need to know who was in there.
	And maybe they didn't have their cell phone on them, but we have some problems.
	And presumably, eight shots off at the roof.
	I don't know how they're going to...
	The bullets...
	You say, I don't know how this works, but the bullet tip, what is that called?
	The projectile itself, once it strikes something, I mean, that basically evaporates or it disintegrates?
	It can, but this gives us a clue.
	So bullets that are called fully jacketed, a jacketed bullet has a copper coating around the lead core.
	Those tend to hold together.
	You know, to see it fragment like that, it was either what we call a frangible round or it was possibly a hollow point round, but it really explodes.
	I mean, it turns into just vapor on that spot.
	So that gives us some information.
	First, it was traveling at full speed, which is consistent.
	All it did was Nick Trump's ear, didn't lose any speed off of that appreciably.
	But the fact that it vaporized, First, I have some problems with it.
	First, the amount of vapor, first thing I was thinking, ooh, 30 cal.
	Now it has to be a 2-2-3 round.
	Anyway, I don't know.
	It's hard to interpret a puff, but my first instinct seeing that puff, having done a lot of shooting, was that was a fat round.
	So I don't know yet, for sure.
	That's a mystery.
	We're going to have to dig into that more.
	All right, and let me ask you, I know Full Metal Jacket because it was from the movie, Full Metal Jacket.
	Yes, Full Metal Jacket.
	We don't yet, I mean, I don't even know how they're going to determine where the eight rounds landed.
	Do we know what round struck Corey?
	I mean, do we know if that is, you know, presumably they'll be able to forensically identify the round that struck Corey with the AR-15 that allegedly was used by?
	Probably not.
	Okay. Probably not.
	So bullet, you know, doing the bullet matching, you need a fairly intact bullet.
	That round hitting something as hard as a head probably got turned into lots of fragments.
	Do we know...
	You tracked the shots and I'm scrolling through your video and I can't find where you play the audio.
	I can find where you recreate the noise.
	But there was that unique scream immediately after the last shot, which I originally thought was...
	Someone near the shooter who was screaming because of the shooter having gotten taken down by the shot.
	Do we know who or what that scream was about?
	No. Don't know.
	I can only imagine now it might have been...
	It was a scream of absolute horror and terror.
	I can only imagine who it might have been.
	What happens now?
	What's next in your analysis of the situation?
	We have a bunch of audio stuff to finish up.
	So we're going to finish the audio analysis.
	We've got a lot of great help.
	Anybody who thinks they have, here's what we need badly.
	We need all cell phone data.
	I don't care if you think it's irrelevant or not.
	Pictures, videos, whatever you got.
	Particularly if you're around the AGR building.
	We saw that there are other people who were there filming.
	We don't have access.
	It may be on TikTok already.
	I don't know.
	So we need sleuths to find it or anybody listening to this who was there.
	We need that video.
	Because the more we can get, the better we're going to be able to really establish this.
	So anything is evidence at this point.
	Please preserve it.
	And last thing you want to do is hand it over to the FBI because they'll hand you back your phone scrubbed.
	It's like what they did with the laptop.
	I mean, it's a good thing Giuliani had his own copy of it.
	A couple of chats here.
	And I hate to do this.
	I have to leave soon because I got a 2.30 hard stop and I haven't eaten lunch today.
	So just a few minutes here.
	Give me two more minutes.
	I'll just read these out loud so we can get a couple of the questions in here.
	By each source, the acoustic signature is totally different.
	Different caliber, different location, no question.
	Three guns.
	Any Stoneman worth his salt is calling BS on this debunking.
	Then we've got King of Biltong.
	Good afternoon.
	Anton's meet need.
	Free shipping.
	Code Viva.
	Biltong USA.
	Anton USA.
	Built on definition, vaccine against vegetarianism and veganism.
	Let me bring this out here and see if there wasn't a question in the locals community, which there was tipped here.
	Okay. Viva Fry, how many shots were fired?
	Helmet cam shows police count eight rounds on the roof, and I've read only eight shots were fired.
	That eight shots would be both assassin and police.
	Does Chris know the shot count?
	Vid here.
	Okay. The shot count, so we hear the eight coming from...
	The shots on the crowd and then the one from the sniper.
	In your analysis, there was that noise that you couldn't identify a bang after the eighth before the final shot.
	Have you determined whether or not you think that was a shot being fired?
	Number nine is absolutely a shot being fired.
	Number 10 is absolutely a shot being fired, which is the final counter sniper round.
	I have one mystery, which is in between shot nine and shot 10. There is definitely a gun report on Trump's mic.
	I can't place it yet.
	So that's an enduring mystery.
	We're going to unravel that.
	It may be related to Shot 9, but if it is, it implies that somebody took a shot from really far away towards the AGR building.
	So maybe that was the one in a million shots.
	I don't know.
	We still have a little bit of a mystery, but minimum 10. There might be an 11th I have to account for.
	Okay, and last question, I'll let you go and then I'll, well, you'll go and thank you very much for being here.
	AGR building, owned by BlackRock or BlackRock Entity.
	Do you have any knowledge about that or anything in your research that confirmed?
	I've heard that, but I haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet.
	So I've read what other people have said, so.
	Okay, awesome.
	Now, Chris, remind us one more time and I'll put all of the links in the pinned comment.
	I'll stay here after you go.
	Where can people find you?
	And if they have info, how can they reach you?
	Okay. Find me at peakprosperity.com.
	All my content gets loaded there.
	We have a subscriber community there if you want to support people doing what we do and be part of our community.
	That's at peakprosperity.com.
	At Chris Martinson, M-A-R-T-E-N-S-O-N.
	At Chris Martinson is my Twitter handle.
	I'm pretty active there.
	And then finally, if you have any other information, any data at all, info at Peak Prosperity.
	We're gathering.
	We've had a huge flood.
	If you have actual evidence and you're not speculating or wanting me to watch somebody else's ideas, Put evidence in the subject line so we can get to it more quickly.
	That would be really important.
	And the other thing is if you have expert analysis.
	So we need somebody who really understands mics and how mics behave because what we're trying to resolve is those other bullets that are coming in and we record them on Trump's mic.
	How far away were they?
	This is a very complicated analysis, way out of my pay grade.
	So anybody who's a true audio engineer who could do that, fantastic.
	Anybody who can do a fast Fourier transform on the data?
	And interpret it too.
	That would be fantastic because what we want to do is locate all of these cameras, feed all of this into a program, and it'll tell us a lot more than we're getting from any one analysis.
	So looking for help.
	Info at peakprosperity.com.
	Yes, please.
	Expert or evidence.
	Let me know.
	All right.
	And the woman who was suspected as being FBI behind the crowd who immediately started recording, have we seen her video footage yet?
	Have not, but I know somebody who traced her down.
	She's not FBI.
	She's local, according to this person who I do trust.
	Local person, not local law enforcement or local law enforcement.
	No, no.
	Just a local.
	Okay. Chris, you're amazing.
	Thank you very much for giving me the time.
	Pleasure. Thanks for being the third time's the charm, right?
	Absolutely. We'll do it again.
	We'll do a fourth one of these days.
	Go for it.
	Have a good day.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	Bye-bye, everyone.
	Amazing. That's amazing.
	What we're going to do now, we're going to have our locals after party.
	But that is phenomenally interesting.
	I'm not yet on a two-shooter theory, but I am definitely on a this was clearly Secret Service setting all of this up.
	I want to know...
	I would have pushed Ray a little bit further on Matt Gaetz's question and his evasive answer because why would the guy that they're using to try to carry this out...
	Why would they keep him in their holding if they want to have nothing to do with that guy?
	Reading the chat here.
	Thank you, Chris.
	You're a good man.
	She was still suspicious.
	I don't think she was suspicious.
	You can't predict how any normal person would react under such circumstances.
	Just reading some of the chat from YouTube.
	Let's go to the chat in Rumble.
	All eight shots for Crooks.
	Did Crooks even take a shot?
	Well, they found the shells.
	I mean, the thing is this.
	Everything that we're relying on is information coming from, or not everything, but a large portion of it is information coming from an FBI agency that I don't trust as far as I can throw them.
	So, USS United States Secret Service snipers would have used 5.56 rounds to frame the Patsy.
	It's a trivial shot from that distance, even with an AR says liquor giant.
	That's why I don't believe that the, in terms of the setup, that...
	It would have been the USS, the Secret Service or sniper that took the shot.
	I don't know anything about anything except for what people say.
	They wouldn't have missed.
	So I think that this kid was the one taking the shot.
	Trump failed his audition for the role of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's Colorado watch.
	If anybody doesn't know how World War I was started, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
	Who was the next in line for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to be the, I don't know if it was the prince or the prime minister or whatever they want to call it, was assassinated.
	Archduke evaded his first assassination attempt the night of when they threw a bomb into his car and it rolled off the back and exploded, injuring 20 people.
	And then as they were trying to figure out what route to take, one of the would-be assassins sees Franz Ferdinand's motorcade at a light.
	Pulls up and then shoots Franz Ferdinand with a gun.
	It was the Black Hand was one of the organizations that was involved in this.
	They all go to jail and live long.
	They died in jail during World War I, but they were in jail long enough to see the world descend into World War I because of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
	Why did the world descend into chaos?
	Because you had the Austro-Hungarian Empire, you had the Prussian Empire, you had France, Britain, all vying for international interests.
	They all had a sort of a mutual defense pact.
	It was called the Triple Entente.
	And so when one country attacked another, there was a mutual defense.
	Sound very familiar?
	Kind of like NATO?
	And so when Austro-Hungary was given the blank check to go into Bosnia to find the assassins, and then that triggered the Prussian defense of Bosnia, then it triggered France and Britain's defense.
	Fans of Austria-Hungary, something along those lines.
	I might be getting the names mixed up, but that's basically how it happened.
	And then they all started mobilizing their troops, and each country was like, well, if we don't start mobilizing our troops now, we'll be behind when the other country declares war.
	And then bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
	Each country declared war.
	The great war, the war to end all wars, except it wasn't.
	It was the war to start World War II in advance.
	And that's it.
	That's your history lesson, people.
	Yeah, it's wild.
	And Trump tilted his head.
	And we reverted all of that.
	I have a hunch.
	I have a hunch.
	Judges, all of a sudden, his sentencing was cancelled.
	I have a hunch.
	Judges, all of a sudden, his sentencing was cancelled.
	Judge, being as unfair as he was, all of a sudden became judicial.
	Did he get noticed?
	No jail.
	They wanted him at the rally.
	It's possible.
	But I clearly believe Secret Service allowed this to happen.
	Alright, here's what we're going to do now.
	We're going to go over to Locals and have our vivavarneslaw.locals.com afterparty.
	Have a little of the AMA.
	Now, it's in Locals.
	It's in Rumble Studio, so it's going to be for supporters only.
	So before we do that, let me just go into the all conversation here and see what's going on.
	That woman seated behind him filmed it rapidly with her phone, unlike the rest of the crowd.
	She looks to the side where the bullets came from several times, and I dare say smirks.
	That's from Joe Maskew.
	I don't...
	Not that I don't buy it like I think you're crazy for thinking it.
	The crowd responded very, very well.
	They didn't panic.
	They didn't scream.
	They didn't stampede each other.
	And dude, if I'm there, I'm pulling out my camera reflexively.
	Although I probably would be first under the bench, or at least I say I would.
	Recortis said, I thought George Washington in his exit speech said, beware of foreign entanglements.
	I think he meant NATO.
	Encryptus says, great show.
	Thank you very much.
	Scrolling up, I'm sorry, but all This is all complete horseshit, says R.P. McMurphy.
	I've got snipes to hunt or squirrels to chase around the yard or something.
	Okay, I don't know what that means.
	Finboy Slick says, Viva Fry.
	I want to remember Mark Robert mentioning that the company pretty much invented corningware and invented the tiles that go under the space shuttle.
	Definitely government ties.
	Then we got Bill Brown says, I cup my hands together making a hollow ball.
	Hold on a second.
	Brown? Bill?
	I can do this.
	I'll just get my hands wet.
	That doesn't involve licking them.
	A little bit of ice.
	Haven't done that in about 25 years.
	All right.
	Dan Sutton says, too much to consume.
	Thanks for bringing in Peak Prosperity.
	Great source as he has been doing the deep, detailed work.
	I've been watching him since COVID-19.
	He's just an amazingly intelligent man who can digest information and knows the questions to ask in order to know the answer that needs to be.
	Provided? Okay, that's a little redundant.
	By the way, everyone stay tuned.
	I'll do an on a kayak.
	Do I want to do it today?
	I'm going to do an on the kayak summary vlog of yesterday's congressional hearing with Stephen Ray, and I'll explain away my highlights, which I think perfectly summarizes the day.
	So everybody, if you're coming over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com, come now or forever hold your peace.
	And to make it easier for everybody, I'll just actually post the link.
