07:30 And I wanna bring in now Jack Nevels, our guest who is a specialist in this area both for the military, Jack, you were instructor, Greenberry instructor at their training school. You're in the military in special operations for many years and you do this on the law enforcement civilian side now. When you look at that video, can you give us a sense of what is your immediate reaction? Cuz I know that with your training, you see things that the rest of us don't see. Well, my immediate reaction is, you know, just taking a look at it. Number one, I'd like to say that, you know, the men and women that work in the security industry, whether it's in federal or state or local, are highly professional. And the Secret Service and the other federal snipers that I've worked with are incredibly, incredibly professional and very meticulous about what they do. And
08:28 You know, when I first look at this, I look at it, you know, from the planning perspective at the start of it, where the advanced teamwork that would have come in instead of weeks ahead of time and figured all this out. I mean, it's common practice that when you have an area that you can't cover or building that has a bunch of windows, you put up a large banner so that. it cuts down visibility to where your principles at. And then when I look at the communications plan that fell through, we have what we call in the military a PACE plan, primary alternate contingency emergency. These things are always buttoned down because everyone knows that when stuff goes down and communications are bad, that's when things start to fall apart. And so when I see that there wasn't good communication between
09:15 the different agencies and the planning that was supposed to take place the morning before the incident happened where you kind of do your final, you know, get together and everybody make sure you're on the same sheet of music. Normally we'd all stand together in a circle and we would make communications check with one another to make sure we can all talk to one another. We're all on the same sheet of music and then we go out and we conduct our business. So I think there was a series of failures that led up to this point.
09:57 what the Secret Service director has testified and what the Secret Service is saying, right? What he testified, the acting director testified in Congress. And they're showing, they really are standing up for themselves, right? I mean, Butler Police Department is saying, we're not going down with you, Secret Service, okay? Look, here's our guy. You can hear him on his body cam. And he's saying, I told the Secret Service. Now my immediate reaction to that is, the Secret Service has one job. You laid out some of it, right? They go in weeks in advance. There's a team there the day before. This is their only job is to secure that site. If you got windows, you put up a banner. There's no banner on those windows. You know, the minimum that is required is that you have communications that work.
10:42 with everyone who's present on the ground. We all know if you don't have enough personnel, you're relying on local law enforcement. That's standard. But if you can't talk to them, that's useless. So what I see here is a lot of things that have been put in place to create the impression that these are failures. right, that these things somehow just went wrong, that this is DEI higher and this is that. But there's no way, tell me there's no way on God's earth that these things all just happened by accident. I don't believe it. Yeah, it's hard to get your head around because these failures are so epic and they're so elementary. Like the things that fell through were something a third grader could figure out. And again, having
11:31 having worked with, you know, Tier 1 level snipers around the globe, you know, training foreigners and training different folks here in the States. All of these men and women are super, super professional and having something fall through like this is, it's kind of hard to get your head around. I would agree with you on that. Just from a It's intentional. Is there any way that you, okay, we don't have evidence to prove that it's intentional. But when you look at that, do you really in your heart of hearts with all your experience believe that happened by accident? It's hard for me to say that there wasn't some intentionality somewhere. Now where that intentionality lies, I have no idea because I just can't, again, I can't get my head around the fact that
12:22 this organization that is as good as everybody. They're actually as good as everybody thinks they are. I mean, they do that level of work. And so the idea that they wouldn't do something. Okay, you got a local police officer saying I told them to put someone on top of that building. I told them, right? I mean, there's no mistaking what he's saying there. It's very, very clear. So why the Secret Service? First of all, they don't need a local police officer to tell them that, okay? Any half a brain can look at that site and know you gotta secure the rooftops. That's it.
12:59 Right, and it shouldn't be the local PD telling the Secret Service what to do in that situation. It should have been Secret Service saying this is the plan. This is how we're executing this. They have command and control of this and the people that augment them are just augmentees. They're not in charge of the operation. You know from the Secret Service level where that breakdown of chain of command and command and control happened I you know I don't know having not been to the actual site not being privy to all the information in the investigation but it definitely looks suspect it definitely looks
13:39 Like an epic failure that is it's too epic to happen accidentally like there's all these coincidences that all lined up that allowed this one shooter to be in that one place that specific time seems. Okay, I'm gonna throw you a final question, Jack. I'm gonna throw you a curveball here, okay? I've been talking to a number of very senior sources, people with a lot of experience in special operations, couple of snipers, count of snipers, and none of them believe that that kid fired the shot that hit Donald Trump's ear, none of them. I mean, they don't have any evidence, but based on their experience, they say, I don't buy it. There was another shooter, one, possibly two, but there's no evidence of that yet because they're not on site, they're not investigating. What would you say to that? Where do your instincts lie?
14:31 I would say it's probable. I mean, again, without having a comprehensive investigation, I would think that with a with an event of this magnitude that we would be having daily briefs from somebody. And we're not no briefs from any like the American public. No to squash any conspiracy theories that may be out there or concerns. Right. Just questions right now. Having said that, you know taking 140 yard shot with an AR-15 is a pretty easy shot. We do what we call a point blank zero if I zero that weapon at 50
15:09 50 yards or 50 meters, given its trajectory, it's going to come back down and cross over your sight line probably at around 185, 200 yards. Meaning that if you just hold the sights right at one point all the way from point blank out to about 200, you're going to get a hit within plus or minus 2 inches vertically. Obviously President Trump turning his head or the winds or whatnot five five six rounds are very prone to deflection and when just because of their the lightweight projectile that they're firing. But Is it probable that that shot could have been made by him? Yes. Is it also probable that there could have been another shooter? Possibly, without physically going on the ground and looking at where these other shots could come from, from a similar trajectory, a similar angle. I can't speak authoritatively about that. But if you were a betting man, Jack, and you had to put money on it, is your money on the dead kid or somebody else?
16:09 Oh man, that's a good one. I'm going to get you one way or another. You're going to get me one way or the other. If I was a betting man, I would say I could go either way. How about that? You're definitely a Green Beret. Yeah. Playing it both ways. That's in the DNA. Well, there's both of that. You know all about that. The diplomat, Jack. I'm gonna get you in the bar and get a couple drinks into you and then I'm gonna get the real story. Okay, well, we'll see about that. Thank you so much for joining us. Okay, good to see you. Thank you and thanks for what you do. Keep the truth out there. Okay, thank you so much. Okay, for our next guest coming up, we, you know, this assassination attempt on President Trump, obviously not happening in a vacuum. Everybody in the United States focused on what's coming up in the next few months, which is of course, a presidential election. And
