1:34:41 So in that same testimony yesterday, FBI Director Wray said we don't even know if Trump was hit by a bullet. Well, I'm not a ballistics guy, I'm not a sniper. I've not been trained in it, but I've been shooting since I was four years old. And I have, we got a couple ranches out in East Texas, and boy, there's all those old junk piles. The old days, you didn't ship your garbage away, you just had the garbage kept there. So all these old trucks and refrigerators and you name it, going out there shooting them. I learned what bullets do, particularly 5.56. I've been shooting that for a long time. Got my first 5.56 when I was 16. My dad bought me a Mini-14. And I remember just shooting metal, shooting wood, the different things it does.
1:35:22 And if Trump is up on a podium out front, and now that the FBI says eight shots were fired, they got eight bullet casings, five, five, six, from the supposed assault rifle. And it goes by Trump's ear and grazes him on the right side. And there's HD video of it slowed down, you can see the bullet. And they're saying, well, maybe he just got hit by shrapnel. To the public trying to say, nobody tried to assassinate him, it's kind of the idea. This really didn't happen. But I'm not a top sniper like our guest is just popping in for a few minutes, Alex Alexander, who is credited with his team in Iraq with a 2.2 mile shot killing a Islamic terrorist. But I just wanted to get him on to talk as a real top expert about what he thinks of these ideas. Because to me, if a bullet grazes your ear, then hits bleachers or hits concrete, a bullet then splatters and does send some
1:36:24 some shrapnel around it, kind of like a flower. But that would be up and down and around from the bullet into the people around it. It wouldn't be into Trump 40, 50 feet from where the bullet hits behind him, hitting him in the ear and creating it. So I just wanted to specifically drill into this. Maybe I'm wrong. Dallas Alexander of dallasalexander.ca, thank you so much for joining us. What is your view of this? Hey Alex. Yeah. Looking at this, I think for one and I've examined now all the pictures since hearing this statement. And I don't know if anyone's pointed to specifically where this shrapnel would have come from. Have you heard that? No, they just said it could be shrapnel. So I'm trying to understand if the main crowd was 50 feet, 40 to 50 feet behind him,
1:37:16 And it would have hit the middle of the bleachers, which is like 60 feet back. So how does shrapnel cut his ear from 60 feet back? I just, I've not experienced that, but I'm on an expert like you. Yeah, that's not happening. I think the only explanation that could possibly, um, could possibly lead to shrapnel is if there's something in between the shooter and him that, uh, was not, you know, not thick enough or strong enough to stop the five, five, six round, but still have it penetrate and shoot shrapnel through the other side. So we have done a lot of this in my previous career. We call it penetration demonstrations or exercises. And you just shoot bullets through things and you see what happens on the other side and see where shrapnel goes and how it acts. Now, bullets and shrapnel are both
1:38:07 sort of unpredictable, but they're predictable enough that you can tell that, for instance, if it hits something, you know, 50 feet behind him with a 5-5-6 round, nothing is coming forward of that bullet 50 feet, which would be in Donald Trump's direction and hitting him. And if it was something in front of him, I heard something maybe about a teleprompter To me that doesn't make any sense that there would be a teleprompter in front of him and since he turned his head and was hit on the right, you know, shrapnel would have to go through his head to get to his ear on the other side. I think the only thing I saw maybe that was in the way and it looked like it was too high were those cranes holding the speakers and stuff. And I don't know where the rounds went beside that.
1:38:57 Again, I'm a Canadian sitting up here just reading about this stuff and watching videos. It just seems so obvious that they're trying to downplay something. Trump got shot. Like you're showing now, there's a picture of the bullet. Again, I'm skeptical of things I see on the internet, but still, he got shot through the ear. very, very, um, lucky man that that's, that was the extent of his injury when it could have been much worse. But I think that people want to downplay it to, to not make it seem so. Um,
1:39:38 I don't know badass is the word I would use I guess. Well exactly so Dallas that's my lay thinking as a guy that's been in plenty of junk piles on the family ranches. I wasn't doing professionally like you but exactly. It's fun to see shoot a refrigerator, shoot an old truck, shoot wood. You know I've shot plenty of wild hogs, deer. I mean I know how this stuff works. Exactly. He's up on a podium and he's like 50-60 feet from the crowd behind him. He gets eight shots fired at him. One nicks his ear. It doesn't bounce back and then skim his ear in my experience with shrapnel because I've seen it for myself. And that's basically what you're saying. Yeah. So a hundred percent, like I would bet everything I have, like nothing from behind him where the bullet struck the bleachers, you know, 50 feet away, nothing came from the round striking back there. The only way
1:40:30 that this could happen is if there was something in between where the bullet was shot and him that brought kind of shrapnel along for the ride. But like you said, I interrupt you to finish your point. This is obviously an attempt for the public that's not educated about firearms or ballistics, whether a layperson or a super expert like you, to try to pretend like, oh, it didn't really happen. Where regardless, a guy shooting at him, if it was shrapnel, he's being shot at, he's the target. So regardless, it was an assassination attempt. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I just, I think you're right. I think that you can just use words like shrapnel and people aren't going to analyze, okay, well, where did the shrapnel come from? Like it came from where then? If there's nothing between the shooter's rifle barrel and let's say Trump's ear that could have the round ricochet or cause, you know, if it hit a, if it hit that mic stand, for instance, right in front of him, a piece of that mic stand could come off and hit something behind it.
1:41:28 But if there's nothing between the barrel of the shooter and that trajectory that the bullet is on, then there's nothing to turn into shrapnel. And I interrupted you, if you can think back to what I interrupted a minute ago, but to explain this, the kinetic energy of a bullet coming towards you, it hits something, it's got forward motion, it could spray some pieces of what it hit at him, but the idea that it goes back 60 feet and bounces back on him is preposterous. So that's the point. Yeah. Yeah. That point right there. Like if the bullet traveled back behind him, Nothing is coming forward that amount of distance that that is gonna get it. So I've done this Do you remember the point of times that a thousand? What was the point you try to say for I interrupt you? I think it was just leading to that point if there's if there's nothing for a bullet to hit between let's say the barrel of that gun and the Place where it ended, let's say Donald Trump's ear There's nothing to cause shrapnel
