[@sophiar6996]

@ 33:27 - I'm a female and let me tell you - the FIRST thing I thought when this happened was: 1. why were there so many females 2. why were the females four feet tall trying to guard a man that's 6'4". 3. One of the females couldn't get her gun back in her holster. 4. Another female was more concerned about her sunglasses than she was protecting Trump. 5. Another female hid behind Trump for protection. The secret service director Kimberly Cheatle needs to be investigated thoroughly!!! Her own subordinates have already called for her resignation prior to this. And she has made it known that she plans to have 30% females in the secret service by 2030. She also denied multiple requests from Trump for additional security detail.

[@ChaoticMind-m5h]

I'm curious what the guest thinks about Karen Read case, as he's an accident investigator. Prayers

This guest is a normal US citizen WTF is he worried about stating his REAL feelings about the Awful women agents? " I don't wanna talk bad about her" SHUT UP!

[@rose-mariemukarutabana9001]

Those poor girls were frightened out of their wits. Normal. Understandable. Your item 5 proves the point: in times of extreme danger, the woman hides behind the man. It's how humanity has evolved: besides men being stronger than women (with exceptions), it is an imperative of the survival of the species that the women survive in greater numbers.

[@toniscott1029]

I agree 💯

[@benchapple1583]

FYI The girl in point 4 was also hiding albeit not behind the principle. She was off the stage to the right as seen by the crowd in the field i.e. she put the stage between her and the gunman she was still there 10 seconds latter when the cavalry turned up on stage. The woman in point 3 was the same one in point 5. The third woman was standing while the men had already piled onto Trump, I have the photo to prove it.

That mist was hydraulic fluid from the forklift that was holding the speakers. A hydraulic line was hit by a bullet.

Yes the speaker fell down from the pressure loss in forklift boom. I wonder about the trajectory it came from.

Yea, Eric should connect with Peak Prosperity/Chris M. for a joint episode as they are both doing great work on this Incident

Yes and there is video out there where you can see the hydraulic fluid spewing out in the direction of the bleachers and the lift arm slowly lowering.

My thoughts to

[@jimmycricket5366]

Also, if the incompetence went as far as not investigating shooter when first noticed with range finder, why, when he was first seen crawling with the rif le towards the crest of the roof, and they had two whole minutes to do so, did they not radio the stage to get Trump calmly and quickly removed until threat was fully investigated? What is anyone supposed to think?

[@LegolasFan69]

@@jimmycricket5366 SS and police sensed the heat from the crowd noticing him. They sent a guy up to check on the kid and were in the kids ear telling him to hurry up and take the shot. This theory makes more sense than anything else.

[@Winter-Lake]

Mr. McCormick, I pray your son isn't traumatized by this and I'm so glad that you are both okay, physically unharmed. Thank you so much for sharing your eye witness account with us. My dad was a rookie police officer on duty the day JFK was "taken," many years before I was born. My dad told me that, that days event profoundly effected him, our family, their community, and our nation to its core. It was sometime in my 20's that my dad had written his personal , very detailed account of that day to give to his daughters, (me and my 3 sisters) . what he was doing, where he was, what he experienced, what he observed of everyone else, their reactions, everything. The first time I read it I was sobbing, (& I still weep when I occasionally read it), but I also greatly appreciate that he wrote and gave that to us. It's one of the most important things my father gave me, an account from his perspective of such a dreadful, tragic day of one of our nation's beloved president's. A page of history. May God bless and protect you and your family.

You are the best, Eric! You outdo the MSM every time. Great sources and investigative journalism.

[@davidstanton3868]

Now, THIS is a witness! You are on roll, Eric.

[@pmarieb4083]

No he is not, he is wrong on a number of things like the ladder and the water tower…sorry. Then he says it doesn’t seem like a lack of security……that’s already been proven and Trumps team asked for more security and the police offered a high etc drone and ss Declined the use of a drone. I trust no one….he could be a plant. FBI is blaming the local police and local police blame ss. Bottom line is SS is in charge! There were multiple shooters and crooks was a patsy. Look at the show Redacted on rumble or KZbin….they have the video showing someone on the water tower. They claimed there was a ladder then they couldn’t find it, then they said there was no ladder and he got up on the AC unit but on the police video cam, they said ladders were in route and right away a woman in full gear said there is a ladder right here (up against the building) and asked if they could use that one. You can’t use a ladder and then get rid of it from the roof…unless he had help. How come they never investigated the bike and backpack right away? How come they said he had a white van 10 blocks away then he had a car then a bicycle? Crooks was a patsy…someone they could blame. This was planned and allowed and I don’t think Crooks even got off a shot. I get nothing from this guy that wasn’t already known. Not to mention this guy said everyone was searched thoroughly but hundreds of witnesses said they were not checked and neither were their bags. Not only that, bags were not supposed to be allowed and yet they were.

[@wilcoxm40]

Another you tuber spoke with the souce and confirmed it was a hydraulic line that was hit by a bullet. The hydraulic fluid sprayed the motorcade cars parked behind the stage. That caused the windows to be sprayed down with the fluid.

Why the Hunley hate? I love everything you put out Eric. You have a very balanced approach and can even steel arm with an inquisitive kindness rare to find these days. Your conversational manner of questioning is refreshing. Keep doing you!

[@shuroom57]

That's what I'm saying! All that flak Eric received from bone-headed commenters after the Vince Palamara episode on Tuesday was uncalled for and ungrateful.

[@edieparastatides9403]

The two women in front of the car did not move as Secret Service personnel move. Their ponytails were flying around all over the place which tells their heads were moving irradically. Secret Service people move their heads slowly, observing the crowd. The woman trying to get her gun in the holster - handled her gun like it was a pocketbook, not like a person experienced with a gun. It was suggested to me that the 3 women acted like extras in a movie. There was something not real.

There is no need to tiptoe around the "so many SS women" issue: that sort of situation is no place for women. "The aggressive fight-or-flight reaction is more dominant in men, while women predominantly adopt a less aggressive tend-and-befriend response."

The reason people are making fun of the woman agent is because a trained professional, someone deserving of this elite position, should be able to competently holster a weapon. They should be so familiar with it that it is second nature. She obviously isn’t deserving of this elite position

As far as the spray /mist; It was reported that one of the bullets ruptured a hydraulic line on a crane supporting the flag. Edit: Just saw a vid (Valuetainment - "2 minutes to shoot") of this; the bullet hit the hydraulic line of a yellow boom truck with forklift. You can see the fluid spray out and boom loose pressure.

[@AlpacaRenee]

The fluid mist was the hydraulic fluid from the lift that was holding the speakers up. One of the hydraulic lines was hit with one of the rounds. Since it’s under pressure, it will spray. Watch the video, the speaker is lowering as the spray comes out and stops when the pressure is relieved.
