--------
Michael Jai White and Vlad discussed the intelligence of the would-be Trump shooter, drawing on insights from Nicholas Irving, a former Army sniper. Vlad recounted Irving's explanation that Trump narrowly escaped serious injury due to sheer luck, as the distance for a successful headshot—around 100 yards—was not insurmountable for any trained shooter.
White, emphasizing the simplicity of the task from such a distance, remarked that even basic military training covers shooting at three times that range without any advanced scopes. The interview pivoted to the shooter's evident nervousness and inexperience, contrasting a trained sniper's meticulous strategies for escaping detection, such as using decoys.
Vlad highlighted the shooter's background as a registered Republican, questioning the purported high IQ attributed to him by some, especially given his post-high school job at an old folks' home. The discussion invoked comparisons to infamous criminals like the Unabomber, who had a prestigious academic career before his criminal activities.
