Complacency happens. It's been decades since the Secret Service has had actual shots fired on a former president or candidate, and the Trump campaign has their demands. I've been in the military 23 years and see it daily. The farther you get from real-world incidents, the more you don't worrying it happening actively from real experience (some from a lack of generational experience), and following the training and SOPs can get glosses over. I joined the military before Sept 11th, and that was a very different military than it was five to 10 years later. There's plenty of stuff I try to elevate and it's an uphill battle sometimes.
Prayers go out to Corey's family ~ Rest In Peace to Corey Comperatore, Former Fire Chief, the man that was shot & died at the rally protecting his family, when they clipped Trump's ear. My condolences to his wife Helen, and his daughters Allyson & Kaylee, and father Raymond. There was also another who was injured and is in the hospital. Mike hang in there we are with you..
The SS just got outplayed by a 20 year old kid with likely no tactical or military training whatsoever. This country has never been weaker than it is right now
I am a Butler pa resident... The building the attacker was on was a company just outside the Farm show grounds... AGR its a manufacturer company... The roof the attacker was on is about the same Height as the Building the snipers were on so when he was army crawling up the backend of the roof it would have been extremely difficult for the snipers to see him until he reached the peak of the roof... One of the biggest mistakes other than not having guys on the AGR roof being that its one of the only high ground threats in the area...was when bystanders were yelling at local pd about the threat of a man with a riffle minutes before the first shot and local pd didnt do enough to prevent what happened...maybe local pd didnt have instant contact with secret service but Trump should of been covered before the firsy shot being that bystanders saw the boy crawling up the roof with a AR and was screaming to the police.... SMH!
@@chriscolantropo2203You Know "How"... You're just afraid to even think about it. Your Normalcy Bias Won't Allow It...

I’ve heard the building was the staging ground for local police? There was security in the building while he was in the roof? Heard anything like that?
As a "former cop" this is why I'm a "former cop". Departments are overrun with these cowards and they are forcing out the old guard just like the military. I'm sorry for what you are going through Mike but stay the course brother. This too shall pass
@@tacotraplord210They certainly do. But people don't want to hear it. Until a few months ago I guarantee you Mike would have been calling these same cops "great guys".
Hey brother I live here in Utah. I am an old guy who spent 30 years as a deputy sheriff. Now all I got is memories but even those are walking away. You sir are a good man, this I know as I’ve watched and listened for a number of years and I know good men when I see them. Hang in there.
I was probably 15 feet from President Trump yesterday. I was in the chairs in front of the stage, to the right. From what I've heard, President Trump's staff asked for more coverage because the lay out of the complex had multiple buildings within 200 meters of the stage. From my seat, I did see 2 SSA's on the roof to my right. Everyone on the ground level I remember instantly took cover at the first 3 rounds were fired. To be honest, those were at the time the only shots I remembered during the event. I remember seeing Trump give the okay and thumbs up as they were exiting him off, and then cops telling us to get to and get out. I was beside a family of 4, and when the cops told us to move the father took off instantly. The wife, a son about 16-18, a little girl, and the wife I escorted to the dad who was at the gate. To be honest, I feel like I need to give you credit Mike. I remembered listening to your Fight or Flight podcast, and I just tried to remain as calm as I could be. I'm not law enforcement, nor a military or vet, I'm just a normal blue collar dude who lives the podcast lol
@kollow apparently his fight was all flight. I mean I won't knock him too bad, it was nearly 100 degrees, he looked like he definitely had some heat exhaustion going on. He was drinking soda instead of actually hydrating, so his mind might have been off. I know mine was as I was searching for my truck for about an hour, only to realize I passed it twice before hand.
I'm no security expert either...but as a young officer (many years ago) I spent hours on a rooftop in downtown Phoenix, securing that rooftop before a Papal visit. The fact that the rooftop at the Trump rally wasn't either covered or manned is absolute negligence.
There needs to be a non-DoJ investigation into this event, and all prior events, including RFK Jr's. But anyone paying attention knows that's not going to happen. This stinks like a deliberate and structured security gap, feuled by an enciting MSM, just waiting for a lone Wolf to finish the mission. At best.
I grew up in Butler, I've been to those grounds many times. The building he was on top of was not a barn. It was a business, but I agree that it should have been secured. Someone screwed up. It was a very obvious vantage point.
I'm a musician, not into military strategy and stuff but so far that was the most well-explained video about what happened at the rally. Mike, thanks for being straight to the point, no “blablabla” and just the honest opinion without create clickbait or just making the chaos to create more views. Congrats for the channel. 🍀
For clarification the shooter was on the roof of a building outside the farm show. (I live across the street from this venue). The shooter was on a rooftop of a business that borders the farm show that is probably 100-200 yards away. The shooter wasn’t within the farm show venue but was just outside of it. I still don’t know why that building wasn’t secured by police to begin with. I appreciate everything you do Mike and your insight.
The secret service used the excuse they were looking for threats further out a poor excuse close in threats should be easier to spot if they were looking people warned them minutes before it went down.
Welcome back brother, I'm favoured, $50K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my communitv and also support God's work and the church.God bless America
The Secret Service Director should resign. She's on record numerous time advocating and promoting her DEI agenda with hiring. I'm not trying to come across as blatantly sexist but the performance of the female agents was embarrassing. She's an activist first and foremost. Her priority is to protect DEI policy, not her principles.
Now it's DEI, when 99% of EVERYONE was white, it's amazing how black people are responsible for EVERYTHING, even when we witness a white person doing it WOW
Anyone else hear the female agent asking what’s going on what are we doing? I was taken aback because at that level everything regarding exfill should be rehearsed and muscle memory
They are not even full agents. Those were actually temporary Secret Service agents, only the guy in charge was a full agent. Mike Glover is a glowie and a propagandist
Saw 3 women near the end - one couldn't holster her weapon, all more than a foot shorter than their protectee, one putting on shades (...more important than moving your protectee apparently)...all 3 running around like headless chickens.
My late hubs was LE and a master handgunner. He said stress reveals your training. That female hasn't trained, trained, trained, trained with that pistol, rig, and jacket combo. I feel sorry for an agent placed with a top team that's no better trained. She needs just move back to a local PD and try again
im not. the system is rotten to the core. the deep state, the swamp, these are not just hyperbolic terms. it's real and most orgs and pols are corrupt.
Thanks for your insight Mike. We will continue to support you and Fieldcraft Survival. As a member of the tshirt club, an app subscriber, I've sold countless books for you, taken your in person classes, and bought many things off the website or from your store during our recent visit to Fieldcraft headquarters in May. During the hurricane last week in Houston we were ready and prepared thanks to you and your awesome team. God bless you!
The one that was on stage to cover Trump saying “what are we doing?!what are we doing?” Is disturbing. Clearly she doesn’t pay attention to briefings or follow her training.
@@justbrowsing8675 in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people... then that may happen... along with term limits and no lobbying ever.
It's pretty basic VIP protection 101 to secure line of site shooting positions, especially when said position is only 120 meters away. Why on earth wasn't that done? Furthermore, the Secret Service counter snipers were in an elevated position and had clear lines on the shooter's perch. How did they not see him? Now there are reports that local law enforcement was informed of this guy milling around that area with his weapon before the event even started, and passed that info on to the Secret Service. We also have numerous civilians in the crowd that saw him both climbing the ladder to the building, as well as climbing along the roof, and alerted authorities about it. Some were screaming "Gun! Gun!" repeatedly. And yet the shooter still got into position and got rounds off. I have a lot of very serious questions about how this happened.
Hey man praying in Jesus name that nothing will harm you spiritual mentally physically or you family or your business you will be blessed in Jesus name 🙏
Mike You hit it on the mark. One drone with an operator in a van, advanced party assessment. Sometimes common sense is an uncommon virtue. Somebody got lazy and checked the block. Always have someone on the highest ground or building, over watch. Basic security sop. Can’t thank you for your common sense and unemotional views. Always faithful always on watch. We were taught Marines guard heavens gates, you have the country’s best interest AND ARE GUARDING US. THANK YOU!
I’m glad you’re back Mike! I think you’re a good guy and are an important pillar in your community, I hope your family situation shakes out in a way that benefits your kids and you. Thank you for your service and continued service.
The interview of the man who approached the police on two separate occasions to tell them that he saw the man and saw the gun is all you need to know about what went wrong. And literally dozens of people shouting “gun, he has a gun” while pointing at the shooter, you’d think either law enforcement or secret service would have listened. There is some form of law enforcement everywhere at these events.
There is a report of the Secret Service sniper saying that he was told to stand down by superiors after he reported seeing the man on the roof with a rifle.
DEI Ponitails One cant holster a gun, another hides behind Trump that os covered by SS, another 2 take cover behind the podium, other is adjusting Sunglasses, the third is adjusting jacket looking at reporter's to look good.
Mike, I always check your site when “special” events like this occur…love to hear your perspective-very thorough and insightful. Just want to encourage you to keep pluggin.’ I understand you’ve been experiencing very trying personal issues before and lately, but please don’t allow it to deter you. DRIVE ON, Airbourne! Praying for you, brother!
"All charges dismissed" is fantastic to hear. It was a shame to see all the people rushing to judgment and commenting on your social media as though they knew the truth based on nothing but allegations by overzealous police. Please take your own advice in the future and never talk to police without your lawyer being present.
I thought the same thing. So many judgmental comments with absolutely no basis in fact. I'm proud to say I was one of the ones who supported Mike with my comments and prayers.
As someone who grew up in the Provo area I new instantly that he was more than likely being set up or railroaded. It's all to common in "Happy Valley".
I'm glad I spoke up for Mike when people were lambasting him in the comments, assuming guilt. I said we don't know what happened, wait and see. Most people condemned him without any evidence.
It appeared to me that the counter sniper team seen him before shots were fired. I’m concerned that they were waiting for permission to engage. They waited until shots were fired which was too late. If rules of engagement required waiting that needs to be changed.
Yes I was wondering this exact thing. Like they saw them but they’re on the radio asking if someone was up there and wondering what to do and he was able to get off 8 shots before they took him out.
Wait for fire ROEs seem insane though in this situation. I could understand patrolling overseas but e round can take the president out. Seems like a huge risk. They may be woefully incompetent.
Mike I didn't know you had this page. Thank you so much for everything!!! I ve been blowing up my face book and other in support of your family and you!! I m gonna do as you ask support through FCS!!! LOVE YOU MAN SO GREATFUL it became lessons learned or how ever you handle it. prayers for you and yours
It's real simple Mike. This is either incompetence at the highest level or an inside job. There is no in between. I'm leaning with incompetence at the highest level personally.
I don't understand how their operation could possibly be working if there was a witness that was telling the Cops "Hey, there's a guy with a gun bear crawling up that roof" and was pointing at him. And nobody did anything about it until he started shooting. Security at a Football game can lock in on the local Fraternity rough housing on the 18th floor but the secret service can't pay attention to a guy with a gun?
Amazing how a 20 year old was able to find the gap in security and pick the perfect spot so quickly.... yeah... he was definitely running solo with no assistance prior to the rally.... definitely.
Mike you just explained this situation better than every single news network combined. And yes brother, I am someone that has tactical military experience...why in the hell were those buildings not restricted with agents on top of the roof??? That is insane.
Dude I was a fighter jet mechanic, and it baffles me why the security was so lax. I have a different mindset than your average mechanic but they overlooked the most obvious threat areas!!
I asked the same thing; And it's apparent to me that they thought that outside of 100 yards, Wouldn't be a likely threat, which seems dumb, considering the capabilities of most firearms.
Hey Mike, I’m glad you’re back on the channel! I’ve been through the wringer with CPS, and ended up with full custody of my kids and her in jail plus losing her parental rights. Be patient, be strong for the kids! The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn! Excellent analysis!
Thank you Mike for a good presentation on this. As a retired DoD Spl Agent trained and experienced working protective service ops I worked on three presidential SS details on three presidents. I agree with everything you said and have the same unanswered questions. What haunts me is all the times I remember the most experienced best person for the position was not assigned the job at hand but was chosen to compliment government requirements on percentages according to minorities and gender. I never believed that was the best way to accomplish the mission and afraid it persists today even when the life of a political candidate and former president is at stake. I personally would expect the questionable director of the SS be held responsible and fired but i won’t bet on it with this administration in charge.
Such a crock of bs. They attacked Mike with the online store a couple of years ago. Now this, this is a bigger effort by the Dems to get this man shut down and lable him a domestic terrorist, but will not call a true terrorist a terrorist. I try helping American small businesses as much as I can. Even more now. We stand with you, Mike, and your family.
Thank you Mike for your expert analysis. So glad to hear that everything is dismissed, I will pray that all is well with your family. And it's been a few years since I have trained with you guys, hope you have some coming up in KS or MO, I will definitely sign-up. Take care.
Mike, I really appreciate your color analysis of the peripheral events, actions, and details no one in a position of authority will even provide. It gives us laypeople a confidence that is lacking from this administration in this day and age. Also, appreciate you giving an update on your personal and company struggles to which we all praying for recovery and success! Keep looking forward and up my friend!
Mike, thanks for your update, God Bless you and your family! I’m a retired Infantry Sergeant Major, USASMA Class #54, you will get through this difficult time. I’m glad you’re back🇺🇸💪🙏❤️
I'm glad to hear/listen and see you again here. I know God is watching over you and your family. You're always in my prayers. Stay positive, stay healthy, and God bless. Take care.
First video I’ve watched of yours. I like how you describe things and I appreciate your service to our country. I subbed and will be supporting. I’m a Lifelong West Virginia native, conservative Republican Trump Supporter 💯.
Mike glad to see you are navigating everything. I have you and your family in my prayers. Brighter days ahead for sure. Your tactical knowledge and leadership ability is truly outstanding. -Semper Fi 😊
Thank you for doing this video. I am glad to see you had all of your charges dropped. I loved hearing about your path that you are traveling. Praying you get to reunite with your family. Many of us are pulling for you.
We’ve all been there Mike, I remember telling you it’s not so easy to just do whatever when youve got kids and a crazy ex, now you get it. I went from multi millionaire to broke, just to keep my kids. Now they’re gone, and so are 20 yrs. You will build back.
I think there was a normalcy bias since nothing has happened since Regan in 81. I’m surprised there was a lack of rooftop coverage. I would hate to be on the team that had this happen on their watch.
I was saying the exact same thing to an individual who worked with SS on detail during the last two presidential cycles. The individual also said there were some VERY big mistakes that were made because SS should have had all the basics covered multiple times and ways. He’s not a conspiracy guy but he has BIG questions on how this went down.
Mike it's so good to see you back brother.. don't ever forget that you have a massive following behind you and we'll be there for you.. please don't give up on us.👍 God bless you and your family..
G'day digger.!! Atleast now we know that we're not the only ones noticing the weapon used by the SS snipers. Great observation. Glad to know you are okay with personal issues. Be safe mate. Cheers from brothers in Australia.
Most informative viewpoint on this situation I’ve seen/heard so far. Great content as always, Mike. I hope the business picks up soon, and things are uphill from here.
