Tim examines the shooter who nearly killed Trump at the Butler, PA rally, questioning the official narrative given the shooter's inconsistent political history, unexploded munitions, and Secret Service failures, and argues Trump shouldn't trust the intelligence community.
- Trump shouldn't trust the intelligence community; their job is to control presidents.
- Thomas Matthew Crooks wasn't a looker, and his Wikipedia reads like evidence of unclear political motives.
- Crooks donated $15 to Democrats at 18, registered Republican, and stayed Republican until shooting at the president.
- Little is known about Crooks's family or background; classmates said he was quiet and bullied.
- Crooks had explosives and unexploded munitions in his car, purchased ammunition and a ladder, and flew a drone over the rally.
- Tim doesn't believe the assassination attempt was random; he thinks Trump and his inner circle suspect deeper involvement.
- Since Allan Dulles, the intelligence community operates a parallel command structure independent of presidential orders.
- The CIA, DIA, NSA and other agencies conduct black budget operations—drug trafficking, human trafficking—unknown to Congress or the public.
- Any president—Obama, Trump, Bush—can be manipulated or misled by the intelligence community.
- Trump revoked security clearances of intelligence officials who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter, but they can still operate through puppets in the agency.
- James Clapper, John Brennan, and Leon Panetta—some of the most powerful people in the world—had their clearances yanked.
- The CIA is attributing everything to Iran and preparing the narrative for war, which Tim sees as the next target for military intervention.
