Veteran U.S. Army Ranger and sniper Jack Murphy, co-host of "The Team House" TH-cam channel and podcast, rejoins the channel to analyze what went wrong between agencies charged with protecting Donald J. Trump that allowed a shooter to fire eight shots from a semi-automatic rifle -- including one that wounded the former president -- at an open air rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.

Maybe this kid wouldn't have been radicalized if he used Ground News
@@themeatpopsicle "have been radicalized"
I don't think he was radicalized. Until now there is no proof of political motive.
He was a bullied kid. Being rejected from the rifle club seems to me the most plausible motive.
There's a wikizoid post under the video clarifying the official story on Reagan's assassination attempt. TH-cam's censorship algorithm is broken.
There's another video, showing the female blonde secret service agent throwing trumps shoes off the stage.... Wtf was that about? Did she think there was bombs in his shoes? Please make it make sense @sniper
This channel sucks.
The woman screaming is most likely Mr Compertore's loved ones after they realized what happened.
What a nightmare.
Good point. I hadn't thought of that nor seen anyone post a comment about that.
I think so too. She is screaming for he husband.
Yeah I thought that the first time I saw this. Well, a woman in the crowd next to someone who had been shot.
@@synupps877watch the original video you hear the screaming and something like dad get up in the same voice. Pretty sure it was one of his daughters.
Seriously? That could have been any woman there screaming, that's what women do. Ya'll are just trying to make some empathetic connection that doesn't exist.
The scream of a daughter losing her father before her eyes, chilling.
Women do scream all the time. that's their reaction. so pointless and stupid
awful
Truly terrible.
What is most worrisome isn't that there was a "failure" of the Secret Service; it is the manner of the failure that is terrifying. A hapless loser of a kid, seemingly acting on his own, with nothing more of a plan than making a stop for bullets and a stepladder, proceeds to penetrate security and comes within a inch of killing a former US president on the campaign trail. Just think what someone(s) with real tactical training, resources and planning could accomplish. US Secret Service just unwittingly demonstrated, to anyone with a grudge, exactly where the soft underbelly of personnel protection is and how poorly the fusion of USSS and local law enforcement is implemented.
Well, WAS. There's going to be serious house cleaning now.
This whole thing is just silly. This was a derpstate plot. Incompetent assassins Incompetent protection...Incompetent cover up. Peak prosperity proved this using the simple analysis of hard data given below (this should be easy to understand for any radar guy or RIO):
Multiple guns. Analysis of recordings from two different microphones can prove that there are probably 3 shooters. Not from the "sound" of the gunshots but from their spacing. Microphone 1 was closer to shooter B than shooter A. Microphone 1 and 2 both show the same delay between the shots from each of the shooters but the arival of the first shot from shooter B arrived sooner on the recording from microphone 1 than it did on microphone 2 ie:
Mic1: gunA..0.2sec..gunA..0.2sec..gunB..0.1sec..gunB
Mic2: gunA..0.2sec..gunA..0.3sec..gunB..0.1sec..gunB
This is only if you believe that this was all the result of incompetence and not deliberately allowed to happen. We know that they knew this guy was there well in advance.
Not just is this kid able to evade the police with everyone pointing at him, but he can actually get shots off with snipers that could clearly see him and were looking right in his direction but apparently he’s an explosive expert, able to make explosives but not just that , a remote detonator too!
This needs to be fixed, and quickly. Comms are a big part of it. They need interoperability with the locals they share responsibility with. Some people think there's going to be a serious housecleaning very quickly. Maybe. We can certainly hope so. But if history is any indicator...not so much.
A secret service agent saying "what do we do?" Is 100% unacceptable....
Supposedly she wasn't supposed to be directly beside the president, but working the crowd or something similar.
Still VERY bad planning.
It's better to fess up about your ignorance than to be quiet and make a mistake. If you are stupid, it's best to make others aware.
I'm beyond disappointed in the S.S
When she said that; wow my mind was blown. I was screaming, "Do you not, like, TRAIN AT ALL?"
There are many unanswered questions. Time will tell.
If that was INCREASED security coverage, it was pretty pathetic.
Them SS chicks r wayyyy 2 Short !!!!!!! + They don't know what to do!!!!!!! Them chicks seemed to not know what to do, and even ss chick didn't know how to holster her weapon multiple times SMH 😢😢😢😢😢
What if it was Iran and not a kid no old enough to buy cigarettes?
.... yet while everyone is diving to the floor this one woman never stops recording on her phone 0:39 it's quite incredible!
@@DerrickLehrkeDan Bongino said the Iran threat was from 2023. Not recent.
More information is coming like the autopsy, ballistics and etc.. The final say is either the state report than Congress Report.
Common sense says 5'0" people shouldn't be on personal detail for 6'3" principals.
but diversity!
Yea, all due respect to his background, his comment was silly. But everyone wants to virtue signal these days.
Male police officers is all the SS had available. 5'0" or not, they're still male.
@@youren8 what about diversity? and why are you for an all-white, all-male society?
@@Destin65 It is not about that. It is when people are selected for positions not on ability, but solely based on race and sex.
Wait, are those snipers on a sloped roof!? Isn't that dangerous and unsafe?
Are you being facetious? 😂
@@anthonykaiser974 The "head" of the secret service said that's why there were no agents on the roof the shooter fired from. She's not very bright.
@chimpboy12345 but she's perfect for the job, she used to work for Pepsi
Lots of sidewalks have a steeper grade than that roof.
@@johnclawed correct. But slope was her excuse for deliberately leaving that rooftop unguarded.
Warned by people that there is a shooter with a rifle and are ignored!!!!!😮
???? 😮
They couldn’t see him. He was blocked by a tree. The kill shot was through a 9” window between branches.
@@thewildlifer Hahahaha . They even took video shots of the murderer before he fired the shots !!! And they could not see him ? IGNORANT and STUPID COMMENT !!! Security was very lax. I wonder whether this was intentional . We in the Philippines saw the video a day of the assassination attempt. A helicopter hovered above the building .
@@thewildlifer eyeballs blocked by a tree, in the age of drones that can fly anywhere is a poor excuse.
@@thewildliferNo, the kill shot was not from that team. Local LE team had view blocked, secret service counter sniper somewhere further away made the shot
Where were all these troopers, military and Secret service idiots when a multitude of people pointed out the person on the roof.
Standing right there, apparently. Unreal.
Doing exactly what they were told to pull this off
If you haven't figured this out yet, it was ALLOWED to happen. 👍
Byli, ale brali udział w tym spektaklu, w zmowie ....
Told to stand down
During my police career, 1974-1999, I worked on several presidential protection details involving candidates, a vice president, a president, and one former president. During these details, we never had any direct comms to the command post. We could not talk directly to the Secret Service. It appears to be the same situation today. Had the close protection detail, known the Butler Township officers had a man on a roof with a rifle, the counter sniper teams would have known it. Things would have turned out differently. Seconds count in these situations. As a Monday morning quarterback. Whoever spotted the guy using a range finder, should have confronted him then. I know it is not illegal to have or use a rangefinder. In the context of this situation, it is suspicious. And I believe there was probable cause to talk with the guy. And before some counter-commenter reminds me of the 4th amendment. I am well aware of it. And I did not suggest violating that person's rights, just talk to him. "Nice range finder you got there. I've been thinking about buying one. What kind is it?"
Word is the pic was taken by a sniper inside the building. He called it in and an outside officer couldn’t find him. So somehow the kid evaded any contact and climbed up a ladder sitting right there with his rifle.
thank you for your comment me and an ex marine discussed this today!! police and anyone else would have helped yes by getting information but that has to travel to the right person who then escalates it and this all takea time then they have to be sure and dial in on target! then get the greenlight....ive heard the sniper from secret service never waited for instruction he was made aware had shot and as soon as shots began he took threat out and yes roof is angled target on belly thats not a long shot but its a small enpugh target
Comms have changed since 1999 so much, to the point where they now can split the channel into multiple sub channels, and set-ups. Plus the Command Center should monitor all comms and pass things along. We can also "track" our radios via GPS, and integrate it on a moving map, so we can say Capt John is walking towards Chief Doe right now.
one does not have a right to bring a range finder to an event like this and walk freely, are you crazy?
Don't forget he also had a rifle.
Concerning the teleprompters . . . as the camera panned back both of them are intact.
I noticed that too.
You would think the “expert” would’ve noticed that too!
@@mattdaugherty7865he mentioned it. But it would not have been necessarily noticeable in the real world.
@@MultiCconway and I’m not sure why it matters anyway
First thing out of the expert's mouth shows he was not prepared.
No air assests anywhere! No drone. No helicopter. No aircraft at all.
Except for the sho oter, who 'apparently' was able to fly a drone over the site a couple of hours before the event to scope out the place.
Good point
Even average music festivals have more camera security
Exactly. Do you know that they normally have a UAV at around 20k doing a constant flyover with cameras that can see your eyes to do a BioScan for id? Yes under normal circumstances this scenario would be wishful thinking for a shooter.
@@wilsonrawlin8547 So why didn't they bioscan this guy's eyes to id him?
Secret Service had only ONE job.
"Secret Service had only ONE job", and that job was to use the abc's in their hiring practice.
Too make sure the shooter never talked.
@@kennyg1358get a brain or get off the internet
No that was totally the local and state polices job... - Director of the Secret Service.
He's alive, ain't he?
The biggest criticism is not because of the physical fitness or “appearance” of the agents on his protection detail. It is simply a matter of physical size. You cannot shield a 6’3” man as a 5’3” woman. I’m a 5’6” man and I wouldn’t expect to be on a detail of this sort for the same reason.
You really think either of those woman would be able to move an incapacitated 200lb male?
It's like hiring a clerk that can't count. It works until it doesn't.
But...but...but women are just as good as men !! (Well this situation proves differently.)
Diversity / Gender Equality Hires..
@@rsmetz88 I will give a real world experience. I was at Fort Riley, Kansas on a training mission. We had a 4 person litter team to go out to a set of coordinates because we had casualty soldiers there. When we got there the soldiers were at the bottom of a hill. We had to strap a wounded soldier into one of the litters, carry him up the semi-steep hill, and then load him into our ambulance and get them to the Aid Station. We had 2 guys (me being one of them) and 2 girls so 4 soldiers in total, 1 at each corner to carry the litter. The two girls dropped the 'wounded soldier' more than once and we had to delay getting him up the hill because they were struggling to carry him up that hill.
I 100% think women belong in the military but there are certain jobs they should NOT be doing. If that soldier had really been wounded, dropping him and delaying the time it took to get him to the field hospital would have put his life in more danger. If he was your father, brother, or husband do you care about the political correctness of the situation and women being in combat or do you care about giving your loved one the greatest chance of surviving ?
@@Sondan1988 The trouble is that the lie of equality means that people can never accept the "women can be in the military, but only based on merit and to the same standards as men", they will always complain after a while that 99% of those passing the Marine Infantry Officer Course are male.
They really bungled that response. Looks like a training exercise with a bunch of cadets.
It's difficult to get a smooth extraction when you're dealing with a 280lb asshole who want's to get his elevator shoes on first and then ham it up for the media after he knows the threat is neutralized. ✊
Height difference makes a shielding difference.

@@MrBob1984and a testosterone filled operator badass
I read below different opinions on female protection officers. I'm a woman, I've worked for a police department in communications. This is my two cents. I can not imagine any woman wanting to take that job if she is in her prime and I can't imagine any agency wanting her if she isn't. I can remember the day, almost to the day, when I realized I was no longer in my prime. I was 41. We had a sudden animal emergency, one that my neighbor could see from his property and he rang us. We drove out to the field, my husband, myself and our 2 youngest children, that ONLY happened because we all just happened to be in the truck together at the time.
The area of the field with the problem was not near the entrance. My husband, although older than me, scaled the fence in 2 seconds. He is 6'2", I'm 5'4". I got up to the fence and I couldn't do it. When I was 21 I could have done it, when I was 31, but now at 41 with 4 kids, it was going to take me a minute to get up and over that fence. I didn't want to have my husband in that field by himself. Our goats were being attacked by 3 pitbulls from down the road. Blood was everywhere and goats were down. These same dogs had a tendency to escape, they often looked underfed and could be menacing but they never came too far onto our property. Animal control was called out a few times but could never make contact with them and here they were. Our newborn baby goats lay dead, a few big goats were suffering. I was yelling "NO and OH MY GOD, NO". My husband yelled at me, don't come in here "I need you take the kids and the truck back to the house right now". It was high stress/I was frantic/the kids were crying. I didn't want to leave him alone to handle this situation, worried the dogs could turn their attack on him. We always worked together as a team in all kind of emergencies like water pipe breaks/tornado damage but at this moment he didn't need me . However, he was the boss of the apple sauce and I did what he asked. After so many years of marriage I knew when he asked, "Can You", I could negotiate, but when he said "I need you to", I just did it. He had a shotgun but I was worried..I drove the kids back towards the house but before we got there we could hear bam, bam, bam pause, pause, pause bam, bam, pause pause bam. I was confused as to why he was discharging that gun so many times. Well ,it didn't take long for me to find out the reasons for all the shots. I understood then why he sent us back home. He, as a man, made so many instant decisions that were the right ones, decisions that I could not have made. As a wife, I didn't want to leave him with some crazy killer dogs but at that moment the kids and I were a big distraction. All the crying and screaming. I don't know what I was thinking at the time but I do know I was thinking like a woman. Killing those dogs first thing, at once, it just didn't occur to me. Having to dispatch seriously injured goats and a few babies that were dying...I would not have been able to do that. I tell this long story because if a woman can have a job where she offers to use herself as a human shield in order to protect a man from an active shooter, then she must not have a man or children at home that need her. If she has children that are grown up enough that she feels they could make it without her....then she is probably too damn old to be quick on her feet. If a woman has never married or has no children then maybe...Men and women think and act differently (I know the liberal folks will hate me for saying that) but I've seen it/experienced it in my persional life, through my police work dealing with both men and women in high stress situations and near death, also by raising sons and daughters. When there is a problem, men will just handle the problem...of course women are very capable of handling all kinds of problems but we have a small hesitation factor that I believe God put into us. We can start to mix emotion into our decisions. We can vasilate between what we think is the best option for the situation, only to realize option b isn't too bad either but wait if things go wrong with b they could really wrong, better stick with A. We also don't like to see others get hurt or be uncomfortable. I know all women don't think alike and not all women think like me. I know that women can be trained to think more like a man but wouldn't it be easier to just hire a man? I'm old so maybe I'm just behind the times. I had to edit to say that yes at 41 I could tell that I had reached my prime and was starting my downward trajectory and dang-it I think at 41 men are in the middle of their prime. Yup...it's a bit of a cruel trick that mother nature plays that was surely designed for the preservation of our kind. And dang-it, my husband at 62 is still so sexy and strong, and me not so much but he's not going anywhere, I'm too much of a good cook and after 35 years, I know all the things he needs to be peaceful and content.
There's an amusing line that I have heard from time to time. "In an emergency, why are the women and children evacuated first? So that the men can solve the problem in silence". Yes, it is obviously over the top. However, the biology hasn't changed. Men and women think differently. Men are genetically predisposed to function differently. Some will argue otherwise. Of course, they have never been in life or death situations. Training can overcome the natural differences with some. Others, not so much. You will see this displayed when it hits the fan...
The first piece of common sense I've read re this recent attack. NATURALLY, women shouldn't be doing this kind of killer work. However, "Nature" is something we're bent on ignoring or destroying these days.
My wife is all woman to the core. And she fulfills the needs I have because of that. I am her man, and I fulfill her needs.
We're different, but both necessary. God knows what he is doing, and we shouldn't try to alter that.
With no disrespect intended to you, but I've seen many male police officers after a decade or two on the job, would not be physically able to go over a fence. As for men not hesitating, just look at the 100+ male LEOs who were happy enough to wait outside of the classroom at Uvalde.
There may be a biological difference between men and women, but it's not predictive of outcomes.
That was a great story. Sorry about your goats. I'm sorry, but I can't stand pit bulls. I think they are useless dogs & shouldn't be legal. But, similarly, we had 15 bum lambs that we were bottle feeding. My kids loved them. We had them in a pen fairly close to our home in Utah. One night we heard commotion & my husband went out to find them all dead. Coyotes killed them but didn't eat any that we could tell. Thankfully my husband took the job of burying them all. It was so sad for the kids, but a good life's lesson, I guess. It sounds like you & your husband make a great team.
Come on guys , the bullet was captured with a camera and that photo was widely circulating the internet. Please do some homework. Also the women screaming was probably the wife or daughter of the fire fighter
Amen. It only goes to prove people are just deciding what they want to believe about this and not basing it off evidence. Nothing will stop them from seeing exactly what they already chose to see. ❤
That is a vapor trail, not the bullet. The bullet would have been farther to the right in the photo.
@@teebob21 Vapor trail? How about the glint of sunlight off the shiny bit of glass or plastic that nicked Trump's ear and then continued on its way?
“Spotted before the shooting”. Why in hell would he not be questioned and detained for safety!?!?

Open Carry Laws. look em up. we chose this.
@@nawamp79 what? it has literally nothing to do with that. The gun was concealed
they did put him on a watch list like 2 or 3 hours before the event, so they definitely knew something was up. Then they lost track of him. SS had eyes on him on the roof too before the incident. But likely because of the roof slope they could not see a boomstick. And because the comms were FUBAR, they didn't receive that information. It's basically a comedy of errors and we're lucky things didn't turn out the way they could have. I assume he was questioned as to why he had a range finder, but since it's not illegal they can't really do anything about it. That's certainly going to change. And hopefully from here on out there is a unified comm situation, none of this crap where departments think they're too cool to have unified comms.
Dan Bongino, who is a former Secrete Service agent, has been very critical of the event of that day.
Only commentator who has the knowledge, network and experience to figure out it was an EXTREMELY ODD situation.

How does a 20 year old misfit outsmart the “best” security force on the planet? How’d he know that building would be unguarded? So many questions
Blackrock is behind at all
He didn't know...he'd been wandering around the fairground for quite awhile, looking for his spot and unfortunately found it.
Being white helped. Easy to move without being stopped and questioned. Even when you're holding a rifle and a latter.
@@cerealeater7369 that doesn’t matter in this case. He could have been purple and they messed this up. And by the way it’s a 5 foot ladder or 6 foot ladder. Probably the former and not the latter
@@jimsteinway695It certainly WAS a ladder.
I believe that the primary criticism about the female agents is that they are 5-foot, 6-inch women trying to shield a 6-foot 3-inch man.
Women are also physically weaker than men. That's why they used to be called "the weaker sex."
Not 6'3
Now let’s go back and re-litigate all those other US politicians shot on the SS’ watch with all male members.
@@CaptainFantastik1 Please go back and read the comment because you are missing the point. Gender is not the issue. It is their physical size. If you go back and look at those other events, I bet you will not find a single agent that is that was 5'6" tall trying to cover a 6'3" protectee.
Murphy had absolutely nothing of interest to add to the conversation and offered no new insights into what occurred or the response from local security forces.
Murphy does not like it when you break his law.

It's like he only came on here to defend DEI.. That's literally all I got from this conversation
@@StarJackal No. Both of them are low IQ political war mongers.
The question remains - why was the police drone not patrolling the area? 🤔
The DEI issues is that months ago the SS director said she wanted to have 30% of the SS force be women. That's the wrong priority, and it's not hard to believe that standards were lowered, either intentionally or unintentionally, if that was a priority. You need to hire qualified people. If you're more worried about hiring women than hiring qualified agents, you're bound to compromise.
Your point is indisputable, and yet I'm sure people will be attempting to dispute it nonetheless.
The post hoc fallacy is still a fallacy.
Was that 30% of the secret service or the presidential protection detail? The detail is a small part of the 7000+ members.
Remember that the primary function of the Secret Service is counterfeit investigations. PSD is the most visible but most agents are doing field work.
It looks like the vast majority of serving Law Enforcement personnel on site (and I’m certain most of the leadership) were male. Focussing attention on the tiny percentage of female agents involved seems to be missing the point. The overall security failure appears to have been a team effort.
Sorry Ward, but as an ex sniper this was pretty weak analysis. Your guests hould have talked more,rather than your, ahem, amature comments fearturing so much. Was he reluctant?

The woman recording with the cellphone in the back stand when the shots are fired. Nuts.
Edit: I want to clarify this. I'm not saying there's anything shady about her. The problem is she's still holding the phone instead of watching for her life and taking cover.
Dan B. also brought her up. Notice how she looks towards the shooter just before the shots. And how she sat down/ sank down as well. She was not at all surprised. She needs to be interviewed by someone other than the federal govt.

@4:31 The Butler Township Police photo you used from their Facebook page is from Dayton, Ohio, not Pennsylvania. Their top post says "Please note we are the Butler Township located near Dayton, OH, not in Pennsylvania, and our department was not involved in former President Trump's rally in Butler, PA on July 13, 2024. Thanks."
Is a inside job. How else can a 20 year old man know that building was unguarded.
When the cop climbing the building saw the rifle and fell, he should have fired his pistol into the air to alert secret service.
That's exactly what I have been thinking since this all happened.
Into the air???
When the cop fell off the roof the shooting started. By then the snipers had him dialed in and shot, all in about 15 seconds or less.
I was thinking the same thing. He should have fired off a round or two in a safe direction. That would have brought the entire thing to an abrupt halt. In the Army we called this a PACE plan, and firing our weapons was not uncommonly used for emergency communication. If we knuckledraggers had multiple contingency plans for communications, surely the SS and LEOs working with them should have.
Maybe they need whistles
It IS interesting that at the convention Trumps S.S. detail were ALL tall men.
And they all have comm earpieces in
He has obviously “cleaned house”!!

Those are his or GOP Convention Detail. There were a room full of 100 VIP's.
You might've missed the funnier thing...
At the RNC, the SS's director own protection detail (she was there to check the security measures, or to pretend to) was made only of burly men!
You couldn't make this stuff up!
wow... for being a "army sniper" this was a waste of time to watch. Which call of duty did you play the most?
It's a shame how poorly our secret service and supporting officers performed during all of this. The rest of the world is watching this just as we are and they are laughing. Utterly embarrassing.
Not laughing at all
Local police was in charge of that roof
@@jacobjorgenson9285the coordination, though, was the Secret Service’s control.
Delegating authority to someone not capable of doing the job is not the incapable person’s fault.
That was the mistake dood...
I see your quite the credulous one @@jacobjorgenson9285
@jacobjorgenson9285 buck stops with the Secret Service. I've seen it claimed in an interview that the local PD told the Secret Service they didn't have the resources to do things like security on these buildings. Same guy said the local PD responsibility was essentially traffic coming to and leaving the rally.
Other people claiming to know the inside story have said it was not the team with the .300 Winmag, but rather the team with the SR-25 chambered in .308. Allegedly, that is the single shot heard on the video.
Intentionally incompetent. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should go back to Pepsi if they would take her back.
The ladder in the photos from the event DO NOT show a five foot ladder. It was reaching from the ground to the roof.
It is obviously a 12-foot stepladder.
Likely a folding ladder which would be about 5ft or so when folded down. Little giants type design. Ask the cashier or manager at home depot about it and they'll say it's a 5foot ladder if going just from memory of the day.
@@chrismaverick9828 Coming from a guy who uses ladders everyday and has a Little Giant Ladder, that ladder is NOT a folding ladder, it is a 10' to 12' step ladder.
@@chrismaverick9828 It's not a folding ladder.
Obviously, I am not 100% sure but I believe the ladder that has been shown in most photos and appears much taller than 5ft is the ladder the SWAT/Police/SS used to access the roof and there is a smaller ladder that the failed assassin used by putting it on a dumpster or AC housing unit or some small structure that was abutted up next to the building which allowed for the 5 footer to be adequate to access the roof.
If I could post pics I could show what I am talking about but sadly it isn't letting me.

One would think so.
Idk anything about the range of roles avail, but as a general supporter of equity (as corporations are lacking the incentives to self-correct when there are legit issues) and all that,
It seems no-brainer to evaluate mission-critical physical protection as specs defined by physical attributes & capability. Women can do some things, if we look globally at alternate scenarios too. But some limitations are physical.
Our culture has a real issue though.
If 30% SS jobs are not physically rigorous etc, then fine. We don't have all that info.
But some liberal types make us all look bad, very bad, when insisting on unreasonable arguments to get stars aligned over some aspects we should adjust for reality.

At least they limited their ambitions to property and capital alone.

@Tanks_In_Space it was a 10ft ladder and he walked a mile with it ,you do realise they sweep with dogs trained to smell gunpowder and fire arms or at least they used to ,the sound of the gunshots are a further distance than the shooter ,the building he was on had counter sniper team inside 👍🏾

Guns do not sound anything like they should in microphone (vs real life). Not to mention, there are sheetmetal building all around, which cause crazy things to happen to soundwaves.

I got nothing out of this conversation.
Women on average aren't as physically capable as men, hence standards have been lowered for government agencies.
What???
In a sense, yes, others, no. This is a difficult topic.
True. The average man has twice the muscle mass of the average woman.

You guys left out a ton of important info???
Also the Head of the service is a woman and she said that building was too sloped of a roof to put a sniper on! Cmon guys thats insane.Not the mention the roof the snipers were perched on was more sloped.😮
I'm a 73 yr old woman with medical issues and I could handle that roof. Her response is insulting.
So what that it's a woman? What does that have to do with anything?
Ward, of all the dozen plus channels I've watched, yours is the only one which got the round count correct. And your's has the best audio of post event actions on the stage.
Based on the photo, that tree does NOT obstruct the north counter-sniper view of the assassin.
Also based on his flinch
The picture is wrong he is on the other end of the roof.
It’s easy to verify on Google Earth. The tree is not in the line of sight.
@@vitamaltz Find a pic of the SS counter-snipers on the roof with the correct location of the shooter. They were obstructed. AND, the shooter was not obstructed to the stage...
@@topbuilder3790 I stand corrected. You’re right. It looks like he positioned himself to be just out of sight of the closer sniper team.

Why were there three 5’ tall women guarding a 6’4 man. And why was she trying to reholster her weapon when a president was just shot and still unsecured?? ???
She was a little on the chubby side too.

You released this video 4 hours ago and still had all of the old and wrong details in it? Did you record this the day after it happened?
Yes, the picture of the woman, who also couldn’t holster her gun, cowering behind the principal gives no indication of lowered standards.
When you make your mission getting to a quota of a type of person instead of the best person you will by necessity lower the standards.

I don't believe there is ever going to be a good explanation for how this guy got inside with a rifle and a rangefinder, acting sketchy, and no one ever stopped him and questioned him.
I don't believe there is ever going to be a good explanation for how the sniper team that could see him didn't pull the trigger until after he fired off at least 8 shots.
I don't believe there is ever going to be a good explanation for why a sniper team did not occupy the high ground, which was the tower.
I have questions about the (at least 7 now) witnesses that gave local interviews about shots coming from the tower.
I also thought the guest's countercriticism of the critics of DEI was dishonest, or misinformed at best. Most people aren't saying the Secret Service or the military has to be "all jacked white guys with tattoos". (Although I did notice that Biden's service detail yesterday was indeed all tall white guys, lol). The people covering a President shouldn't be too short to cover his body. People in the service and secret service should be able to all pass the same fitness standards.
I noticed that Trumps new detail at the RNC was indeed all tall males (of multiple colors).
There were large put options shorting Trump's truth social stock the day before this happened. I thought that was *very* interesting.
I welcome an independent investigation, but I don't have high hopes for satisfactory explanations.
so many questions and so few answers......except for incompetence and complacency
@@rickcimino743 its a total fail one of sniper teams that was inside that building should have been on that roof and this was a mistake the question is who made it.
Well said OP.
"DEI" has become a dog whistle word. THAT is the reason for the subtle derision. It's just come to be a meaningless negative term used in reaction to something used without giving any real thought to an issue, which is why he said "I don't even know what that means."

You don't usually let false items in without some context (like saying it's an unknown), but the golf photo is not from the 14th. I think they said it was actually from Sept 2022, based on a statement by the OP. You may want to edit a correction. We all value your accurate and unbiased reports. Keep up the good work.
Theres multiple inaccuracies in this video regarding where the locations of the victims were (not all in the same grandstand), the rifle/caliber/sniper team used to take out the shooter (.308 from an SR25 and a team positioned on a southwestern building, not a 300 win. from the rifles both teams on those barns, both sniper teams on the barns belonging to different organizations (Both were secret service), and other small things that have already been verified online. Seems like Ward made this interview very hastily and both guys didnt do much research.
The golf picture was NOT the next day . . . it was a previous time in 2022 . . . already has been fact checked by AP and Political . . . easy to look it up :)
Way to keep it balanced and objective boys.
If your principal is six four and the shield is five foot that is a problem.
Among many problems. 😮
Are you referring to the men? They don't look 5 foot...
I think the "DEI" issue is misrepresented by the loudest, most obnoxious versions of the complaint (and partially misrepresented here), but the fact that someone was acting as a "human shield" for someone much taller than they are is a problem. Putting your hand up, like we see them doing in the video, isn't going to stop any sort of bullet, let alone a rifle round.
I don't care if Secret Service hires whoever they want to hire. What I care about is whether they put the right people in the right job. If the person they need to shield is short, great, get a bunch of short agents. If not, you need tall people. There's plenty of roles for short agents besides direct body shielding: working the crowd, perimeter, comms, observation, reaction force... you get my drift.
I do get your drift, and it is very well said. Couldn't agree more
The real DEI issue is that they use the exact same lines and reasoning you used to open the door to integration, and then they change the standards to get the numbers they actually want.
The Canadian military is fully integrated, and their infantry formations are functionally all male. That is what using the same standards actually means. The Secret Service desire a percentage so standards will have to give.
this is the sanest, most balanced take
a hand won't stop a bullet, a head might not either. I think the point was to obscure the view. I seen some picture of bodyguards (Japan/DPRK? ) carrying what looks like a briefcase that folds out as a bullet proof shield
The body guards took longer cuz T kept saying 'Wait, I need my shoes, where are my shoes?'
Critics of DEI - myself included - are not concerned with "aesthetics".
Well SOME are but those are the usual suspects who want the opposite type of anti-merit discrimination.
You should reach out to Dan Bongino and have him on your channel. Bongino is an expert on Secret Service protection protocols.
Unfortunately, I don't think Ward's political views would let him bring on Dan.
Bingino tends to...overdramatize...things
You know the standards have been lowered. Cmon man…
Going on for decades.
One would have thought the Secret Service sniper would have dispatched the shooter after the first two pops.
I don't think people want jacked "white guys". I think people might want jacked guys period. You don't need to put a color on it. I feel like saying that just adds fuel to an already divided country.

so many people sitting calmly is kind of odd to me
Let alone standing up at the very top of the bleachers and videoing stuff with a dumb grin on your face. "Hey look at all these people dodging around! Must be because someone is shooting at us!"
Ward, I do not see how any tree is in the line of sight between the northern counter-sniper team and the sniper 150 yards to the north. I see one rather small tree just to the west of the sight line, but it does not apear to block the counter team's view. Please give further details as to why you believe the tree is an issue. Moreover, can you confirm that it was in fact the southern team that nuetralized the sniper? I am skeptical that this is the case, because the southern team have there rifles set up facing south. How would they have time to reposition themselves to face north?
FWIW, I've looked into this. From where the body of the shooter was found, aerial shots of his backpack and blood stain on the roof, he was on the Far Eastern end of the roof, probly the most eastern 15-20% of the roof. if you look at overhead footage, that area would have been blocked by the most western tree in that line of trees in between the shooter and the barns where the counter sniper teams were located. It makes sense to me that the North CS team wouldnt' have been able to see him, but the South CS team could have, just barely. Still no excuses for the failure, but it does in fact look like the tree blocked the view of the North CS team.
