Royal Marine Reacts To TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT! 

The issue is not it happened to Biden or trump. The issue is that it happened at all. The security flaws in the whole thing with letting the guy get even remotely close is absurd. Someone with zero security experience could look at that and tell you that was an issue

Both the Trump campaign and the Kennedy Jr. campaign have been requesting additional SS personnel for months, but they have been denied continuously.

I've seen some people commenting in some videos that they saw him in the roof before the attempt, they told the security but they did nothing. So if someone says, "Because of this or because of that secret service couldn't do anything" is a an excuse. Everyone saw that guy crawling in the roof with a gun who wasn't part of the security.

I don't care what side of the isle you associate with, this is unacceptable. Be it Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush 1/2, Clinton, Reagan..... Unacceptable.

The people saying it was fake or staged are making flat earthers look logical and sane.

I feel so bad for demo ranch, his videos are getting bombarded with people blaming him for the shooting. absolutely unreal.

How did they allow him to get eight shots off before he was neutralized.

I am an old lady who has voted for democrats and republicans. No politician has been a perfect fit for me but I vote for who I feel will be best for the country and my family. Voting is a solemn privilege that citizens are tasked to do. We should understand that everyone uses their own life experiences to form their opinions and that is okay. Maybe we can learn from each other. What we don't do is physically hurt or do worse to those who differ with our opinions.

Apparently a local cop went up the ladder while confirming the warnings.. saw the kid… then ran away because “the ROE meant he couldn’t engage”… what horse shit

I was told long ago, Secret Service are expendable when protecting VIPs. Not saying life is worthless, but they are protecting something more important than themselves.

It is either gross incompetence or purposeful neglectfulness. Both are bad.

The Trump Campaign asked for more protection but it was denied.

Back in 2008, I was a soldier stationed at Ft. Hood in TX. Cheney came to give a speech (I honestly can't remember the purpose). I drew the short straw and was stuck on the detail that had to prepare the parade field. We were out there weeks in advance prepping, stacking shipping containers 3 high around the entire perimeter and draping cammo netting over it so secret service had somewhere for their crack shots to hide. All of the nearby buildings were scouted, cleared and men were stationed on rooftops. This is on a secure military facility, not some backwoods town. I was impressed with the level of security. NOONE was getting in without us knowing. Furthermore, I met a few of these guys. They were all ex military and clearly top tier soldiers at one point in their careers. Its hard to imagine a 20 yr old kid getting the drop on them. Smells fishy, but what do I know.

Matt who runs Demolition Ranch said that he had gotten multiple phone calls from the media asking if he ever spoke to the shooter and he didn't know why until he found out on the news that the shooter was wearing one of his shirts

The only question that matters is HTF did this guy get on a roof with clear line of sight 150yds away?!? It’s either utter incompetence or it was on purpose. Any 5 yr old playing fortnight or COD would ID that building as needing officers on top of it. People were yelling at the cops and pointing the guy out for MINUTES before he fired and nothing. This is how you get conspiracy theories.

100 % Agree, There's no excuse for what happened.

I saw Hillary Clinton when she ran in '16 at the place I worked at. While it was inside a factory, the Secret Servicemen were covering every high spot and any spot that line of sight of Clinton. The place was full of catwalks and overhead access areas.

You don't have to have any military experience to question this whole thing

You're absolutely right, we Americans should strive for better in our political candidates. I have been voting since the mid 60s so have seen many elections. In the last 20 years however, it seems most of the time my choice has been to vote for the lesser of two evils, with no best candidate in view.

i am 18 (19 next month) and i already had the chance to vote for 2 national elections in my country because the government keeps fucking everything up. I just have the feeling that its all a disney show, it feels like im in a fight about who gets to eat the last peace of candy in primary school everytime i talk to someone about politics. If you have a different political view than someone else it turns into a call of duty voice chat. It concerns me when i see people that are like 40 years older than me that i am supposed to look up to and learn from talk like toddlers because someone voted for a different person.

I had heard that President Trump asked for more Secret Service and Biden’s administration, Alejandro Mayorkas, denied the request.

We were planning our wedding at a saloon when it happened. My friend's father texted him right as it happened. We shouted it out and everyone went nuts and started looking it up. I was the first to find the picture of him pumping his fist and the entire place erupted into cheers that he had survived. To be honest, when I first heard it, I thought for sure they got him. It was quite an emotional rollercoaster that afternoon.

I pray for the people lost and there families 😢😢😢

How? That’s the ultimate question right. USSS is considered the best in personal protection but this happened. They’ve come out today to say that local law enforcement was responsible for perimeter security and not their agents. To me, it seems that’s a really fast explaxantion by USSS on how this event was allowed to happen. Even before any real investigation has been done, the finger pointing has started. I was in the impression that USSS has ultimate say on security when it relates to sitting President and former Presidents. Their agents are trained to protect their principals. Local police aren’t. The quick finger pointing by USSS makes them more suspect of, either, incompetence or dereliction of duty. Both are equally bad.

Think about this. RFK Jr was denied Secret service detail by the current administration, which given family history is wild.

I think there were two critical failures: 1 - the secret service and local law enforcement needed to work together to pull additional resources. Local police should have been controlling access to all 18 locations with secret service oversite. 2 - local police needed to have direct communication with secret service for urgent calls. A local officer went to engage the suspect, but if there had been proper communication, he could have immediately radioed to secret service that there was a shooter. I am sure there were other failures, but those two seem critical to me based on current information available.

negligence at its best shape

My little brother wanted to wear his trump hat around in the south and in some places he fears to have it on because of what might be done to him. Wether it's someone spitting in his food or actually trying to harm him, the fear is there and credible. He bought that hat 8 years ago. That is how long this has been going on and it's disgusting that anyone would suggest that it's our fault in any way. I not only live in fear that a left leaning person might harm me but I also live in fear of being cancled by the slightest miss step so no Republicans are not doing the same thing the left is doing. Meanwhile, mainstream democrats and celebrities have openly called for the death or harassment of trump or anyone who supports him for the last 8 years with nothing done to them but praise.

They requested more security for Trump but was denied also the person in charge of ss is focused on diversity and wants 30% more women instead of hiring the best qualified.

Kimberly Cheatle on why that roof wasn't secured: ' "That building in particular has a sloped roof, at its highest point. And so, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside," she said.' Laughable 😅😂

I love how you repeatedly say “we”, you sir are American…

The Secret Service will have to answer for their incompetence. It doesn’t take a genius to quickly conclude that they screwed up.

These attempts are wrong no matter who you choose to vote for.

When the was signing up for my voter I.D. for the first time, I went independent. Because everyone always goes to extremes. I knew that at 18…

trump was pumping his fist chanting fight fight fight

The content that RU-vid channels like Jubilee and Cut are putting out is awesome because it forced people to sit down and have those conversations that you talked about at the end of the vid. I'd highly recommend that content to anyone, but especially to the people who shout at others instead of talk to them.

The greatest question is how the shooter knew that roof was unprotected and unwatched? A guy in broad daylight carries a rifle and ladder around a few hundred feet from Trump..?

"YahKnow what I mean" , yeah mate shit is getting crazy in the US 🇺🇸 😭😭

makes no sense. you can’t even get into a concert with a diaper-bag these days!

He moved his head up becaise he was looking far way to begin with. He had to take his eye off the scope to readjust closer to himself since the shooter was so close. Thats why.

people are posting on twitter “DAMN HOW DID U MISS BRO YOU HAD ONE JOB” smh fucking nuts

the eyebrow raise when he said i got cameras around the house🤣 at 5:33

I did a photo search of the area. There was a police officer just a few feet from that door, people from the crowd was yelling at him and pointing to where the sniper was. Ln the video he started walking away from the sniper toward the front of the building.

@originalhuman I think the term we are talking is defense-in-depth. For him to get into that position and get a shot off essentially means that every single layer, including the inner cordon, failed, since the whole point is for the shooter to be unable to engage at all. As for the politics, the rhetoric calling for Trump's death even coming from the Administration is undeniably at fault, politics aside. When you ask, "Is this the best we can do?", you have to understand that governments are ALWAYS representative of the current state of the people, regardless of whether they do what the people want. Trump is a flawed individual who has been trying to fulfill the will of the majority (as evidenced by election, polls, and street interviews). Biden is a career politician (54 years in politics) who represents the extreme state of political corrupt in the US system. The fact that people would vote against Trump for "mean tweets" etc but permit the kind of things that Biden says (I'm not writing them here, you'll see why) while ignoring his dementia, reflects most poorly on the moral compass of Americans, as it means we are more motivated by emotional tides than a true ethical system. As for actual discussions, there are honest conversations out there, you just gotta know where to look. Steven Crowder, for all his issues, has several videos out recently where he has legit conversations with a variety of people. Even Ben Shapiro and Ana Kasparian had some civil discussions. The people who don't want legit conversations are the ones that try to shut down debate on the streets by screaming, who call the campus cops on street interviews, and who call for assassinations. These are the people, we can agree, are the ones we don't want to be in charge. At the end of the day, if an idea seems reasonable to you, but then becomes unreasonable when the political affiliation of the speaker is revealed, then I guess that reflects the emotion bias of the listener. A simple solution? People need to be humble enough to be introspective of themselves on the daily, and most people don't do that.

As disgusting as it is, it's not really surprising when we've had 8+ years of mainstream media outlets openly comparing Trump to "the mustache man". What IS surprising, as you pointed out, is how insanely close the guy got while carrying a damn rifle... And how the Secret Service said they needed to "investigate" before saying they'd failed. Like no, you clearly failed to do your jobs, that's not even up for debate, the only thing to investigate is HOW you failed so badly.

Not just a rifle, he was also carrying the ladder that he bought from home depot on that day.

I worked with the Secret Service back when President Reagan visited OKC, headed to Tinker AFB. A major DOD contractor in the city was having an anniversary celebration, and when they learned Reagan was going to be at Tinker, they invited him to attend. The Secret Service contacted the company I worked at which rents motor homes out, to provide four motor homes for the president's detail, the media, etc. I spent many hours crawling around in and under those motor homes with agents, we looked at places that were vulnerable such as inside wheel wells, inside the motor housing, nooks and crannies within the chassis etc. A couple of the windows pop out for emergency exits, so we mapped those out and also removed all the propane gas bottles, went over all entrances and exits, literally the whole nine yards. Plus I had to be on-call that whole week in case the SS had questions, and made many trips out to the site to resolve issues. The SS was great to work with overall, very thorough and professional. During his visit, the protection detail was fantastic--what has happened to the Secret Service since then? I'm just dumbfounded by this. SMH.

why were they so slow to respond when the public alerted the police after seeing him on the roof

It's Friday 19th of July and they STILL don't know how that gaping hole in security happened. The Secret Service says it was the Local Law Enforcement's failure. The locals said that the SS just wanted them for traffic control. Somehow I doubt it was the Pennsylvania State Police's failure. They have always been a Premier Agency, but it's difficult to find out how many State Troopers were there. I know nothing about the Butler local police.

@originalhuman it was even closer, he turned his head specifically to look at the chart 0.5 seconds before the bullet hit him.

Check out what Dan Bongino has to say about this. He did 12 years in the Secret Service.

I like how the Secret Service couldn't even holster their guns. Still fishy to me how this guy climbs a building with a rifle on his back and the Trained Secret Service didn't see him? RIGHT!

They paused getting off the stage because Trump asked to get his shoes back on which were knocked off when they tackled him.

5:26 It was me, a literal loaf of bread moving in your cabinets

In reference to your “privilege” statement. There are a whole hell of a lot of us straight white men that have never seen “privilege” and don’t know what it would look like if it spit in our faces, much like the rhetoric of calling a white person “privileged” based on the color of our skin. This used to called racism.

Appreciate you man. This is bad and i think itll just make things worse, also not to long ago some politician was trying to get rid of trumps secret service detail. Dark days bud. Love ya

I went to college in the early 2000s, so the kind of hate being spewed over politics doesn't surprise me in the *slightest.* Just being openly *Christian* had me labeled as all sorts of negative things.

It does not matter who you vote for.. i hope we can all agree THIS IS NOT HOW WE SHOULD HANDLE THIS! THIS IS DISGUSTING!

0:21 its president trump not former president. They dont use the former tag on clinton or obama

24:30 Look at the left sniper after he raised hes head and then look at hes rifle angle. He must have seen something mutch closer then hes rifle was originally aimed at becouse the moment he goes back on the scoop he instantly aims down by alot so my guess is that he saw the guy or something on that roof and instantly lowered hes rifles angle to shoot. The right sniper is prone so its harder to se any changes on him but the left sniper clearly saw something mutch closer. Its gonna be intresting to se in the investigation of this if the current head of the Secret service record is brought up Director Kimberly A. Cheatle. Her prior job before being put in charge of the Secret service was as a Senior Director in Global Security at PepsiCo. Maybe she hade security work before that job but going from security at Pepsi to head of Secret service sounds like a far jump.

5:52 caught us off guard 😂

Many men

Basic playbook stuff is that you have a controlling presence in, on, or around every location with line of sight to the platform. And you maintain it. My Father and I were helping my Uncle shingle his roof during President Ford's visit to New Hampshire in 1975, We were about 1/4 mile away.from the motorcade route. A helicopter patrol hovered near us while my Father was sweeping the debris off the roof with a broom. He said he looked up and saw a sniper watching him through his scope. He held up the broom so the guy could get a good look at it and then the helicopter moved away.

Y'know I'm with you on not really having a side. I'm sat here thinking the same thing "Is this really the best we can do? Why are we so obsessed with having old men as president? Surely there are better choices."

It is the responsibility of every American to defend the Constitution, if the central government begins to circumvent it. Only the amendment process, requiring the agreement of 3/4 of the states, can be used to modify it. The popular vote does not change this, nor can the judiciary. So, Wyoming has the same power as California in this process. It is the continual erosion of the Constitution, with the purpose of moving the country to the Left, is the main source of tension.

sadly they were denied extra man power

Im from Sumter South Carolina, born and bred. I live in Summerton sc. My parents are from the low country. They are white, and were born into share cropping families. Neither finished school. Dad never made it past 6th grade, mom 11th grade. Yet, they became successful within their lives through the sweat of their brow. I could sit and listen to these ladies all day. I love our southern culture. I love our people. Remember, God did not make race, race is man made. God created the human race. God requires the same love and behavior from everybody no matter your age, color. Circumstances, we are to love eachother as he loves us

You my good sir….. are one of the most American individuals I’ve ever seen. Please come back because we need you desperately

We were there Saturday the security was very tight going in. We stood in line from about 8:30 AM until they started letting people in around 1:00. It was 94 degrees they were passing out water. It was surreal. Then no joke I find out the guy lived on the street my father still lives on. He lived about 2 blocks away. That building had lower scalable portions in the middle section of it on the back side opposite the parking lot

That kind of jives on the counter sniper going off glass. He may have been looking further off through the scope and then saw something much close which is why he looked up and then shot.

Luke, I’m sorry I haven’t watched your channel in a good couple of years. I stopped watching around I started grad school for national security studies. I’m beyond happy to have watched this video to get back into the channel. I think we’d disagree on our approach to some societal things but you’re your own man with your own family so I totally respect your say. Thank you for this video, it shows the power of open source analysis and I love your perspective from the security POV. I love how you’re a naturalized U.S. citizen and despite moving are so passionate about what the U.S. stands for. I’ve been an OSINT analyst for a year now and alot of the times the biggest issue is the thing right in front of our noses but we can’t see it cus we’re too focused on the horizon, I think both structurally and analytically is where things might have gone wrong I hope the family is happy and healthy, gotta bring the ankle biters back to the U.S. to see some of the amazing nature and food of the U.S. South (where I’m originally from but now in the DC bubble) Per Mare, Per Terram, Mate🇺🇸

Rock on Royal Marine! You have a unique perspective being of dual citizenship and your life experience. Keep it coming mate.

There is an interview and a statement by one of the snipers. He was looking at the sniper for a full 3 minutes and asking for permission to fire which he was denied till the first shots were fired. In short they could have taken the sniper out had they been given permission to do so.

The hardcore SOPs are for the current president. Former and potential are still not guarded as heavily as the current president

You know, I'm proud to call you a fellow American.

You align with the majority!!! We think like you sir! What polarizes America is the thought that there is no middle ground! Less government! Less regulation!! Less hate!!!! That’s what drives the American spirit!!! P.S. Yes! America was weakened following this! Thank you for your unbiased opinion! Thank you!!

They were putting his shoes back on is why they stood on stage for a bit

According to some reports. The SS counter snipers had him zeroed in, but they were told to hold fire till the assailant shot first. Which is really stupid R.O.E."

Never knew you were a fellow citizen! Big fan of your videos 🎉🇺🇸🇬🇧

Thanks for being one of the few who seem to be level headed enough to realize and point out that BOTH sides have been responsible for divisive/violent words/images etc. People from both extremes are contributing to the extreme divide. As usual both are still just pointing the fingers at eachother, and not taking a look at themselves or taking any responsibility.

Good reaction! A lot of people talking about this have no idea what the protocols are when such things happen (including me. since I am not a Secret Service member), but I do know you do not let the person you protect present themselves as a target again, after an initial attempt. That seemed extremely peculiar. PS: your cameras had a blind spot, so that is why I could get into your house. Just borrowed some sugar. You will get it back. (and yes, this was in jest, reacting to him saying there was someone in the house. Sadly, these days, there is a need of disclaimers like this).

I trust the FBI as much as I trust my ex mother-in-law.

I agree with you 100% the amount of people who will attack others or forsake common sense because it doesn't align with their political views is disturbing. Especially as someone who served in the military. I'm very disappointed in the American people as a whole. The entire idea of our political system is based on compromise. Something, it seems, no one is willing to do anymore.

As someone who was born and raised in Butler, this was an absolutely surreal moment. Nothing ever really happens here to make the news, outside of the local paper reporting on car crash fatalities and stuff like that. I know people on both sides of the aisle who went to the rally pretty much for the novelty of it, because before Trump the last time a presidential candidate campaigned in Butler, it was JFK in the 60s (I know, great track record we have so far). The one thing my city had as a claim to fame before this was the fact that we created the Jeep when the military was looking for a small vehicle back during WWII (we have a small festival every year for it), but now any time someone thinks of Butler it's always going to be the place where Trump survived an assassination attempt.

The problem is, America is so divided. One side wants to live like socialists. And one side wants to live like way. This country was originally founded. Sadly, I'm not sure that these 2 types can get along. America has always fought against the socialist and Communist style of living. We're being corrupted from the inside

28:06 I believe if this event involved any President during his term; these buildings would have been more secure (possibly even having air support). In the early 2000s; President Bush visited here in Billings, Montana during his re-election campaign. There were 2 Blackhawks over head covering his convoy from the airport to the venue where his rally was.

Demolition ranch actually put out a video discussing about how the shooter was wearing his shirt, I’ve been a huge fan of Matt for years and it was heartbreaking hearing his video. You should definitely react to his video!!

You are absolutely right about everything. I'm so proud you're a citizen of ours.

5:45 why does it sounds like he’s not joking at all???? 😂

This is the biggest secret service blunder since Reagan

Not too many people mention how calm the crowd was. I don't think any other kind of crowd would've been as stoic.

Where was the shooters vehicle?? Nobody is asking this question. I haven’t seen any video of police sweeping a vehicle. They said explosives were found in his house and his vehicle. But no video of this vehicle has been shown. Did someone drop him off? I did see last night one video showing a van on side of road half on grass somewhere after dark. But they haven’t said exactly where this van was. This is important and no one is asking about it. These “professional journalists” are horrible. Somebody, actually all of them, should’ve asked already where the vehicle was and how far he had to move with gun to building. Do we know it was an AR-15 or just an AR type weapon? I mean a PCC can break and fold in half which easily fits in a back pack. I saw a picture of the rifle and a black back pack on the roof after they had removed the shooter with no other person on the roof. I mean why was the rifle not secured already. There should’ve been someone there with that weapon or secured it already. Also, this location had been used before even though nobody knew except police the location of rally to 24 hours before. The shooter could’ve recon-ed this and other previous locations of rallies. Nobody is asking the correct questions.

A lot of the agents that were there to protect him were women who were smaller than Trump. To me that seems a little strange since when shots get fired they're supposed to shield him with their bodies. It's a little hard to do when he's a head taller than you

It’s wild that the dude was wearing a “demolition” ranch shirt. If he was “right wing” and a gun enthusiast he would have A, been supporting Trump, and B, probably wouldn’t have missed the shot. It Doesn’t make any sense that he would be a “gun supporting conservative”

The lady in charge of the SS said she didn’t have a sniper on the roof the shooter was on due to the pitch of the roof.. but the roof the snipers were on looked pitched as well.

You’re not the only one who’s looking around wondering “Is this really the best we’ve got? Are we really drawing hard lines in the sand and saying you’re either with us or against us?” It’s sad

OriginalHuman prepping channel!

You best start believing in conspiracy theories because they believe in you. Plus anymore they are just foreshadowing

Luke, you offer a very valuable perspective because you come from an elite light infantry background in which your ability to scan an environment and spot dangers determines your life expectancy and your mission viability. Therefore your ability to spot the failures in perception and situational awareness on the part of the United States Secret Service is somewhat unique...and we all learn from it. Yet, as an American I think you also offer another very good perspective: You remind native-born Americans of how we should act because, interestingly, your perspective is probably closer to that of Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers who were, after all, Englishmen! They understood that the viability of the country of which they had conceived is based entirely on its people being virtuous. As Jefferson himself noted, if we cease to be virtuous, the country cannot be sustained. Thank you for reminding us of this. My late father, though American, fought in the Royal Canadian Air Force for your country during the Battle of Britain. I was raised with a great consciousness of the links between Britain and the United States because my father was an anglophile and, as an orphaned boy from Philadelphia, learned how to be a proper gentleman in your country. He brought me up with a deep affection for your people and now, in his name, I tell you I'm proud to have you as a fellow American citizen. Keep reminding us of what we should/MUST be...as the Founding Fathers would agree with you. May God bless both of our nations and keep endowing us with people like you. And then keep us listening!

Neither of the two snipers in the video took a shot. It was the other sniper team that did. Also it is common to come off the glass to get a better field of view when you're running a high powered scope, instead of trying to dial it down while looking through it.
