In this episode, we will discuss the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Our goal is not to perpetuate conspiracy theories but to address the incident from a professional perspective. We aim to identify what we believe went wrong and how to learn from the mistakes for future operations.

Scott has over twenty years of experience as an expert sniper. He has operated in various protective security environments, in combat operations, with Law Enforcement, and has trained numerous sniper and SWAT teams.
