YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode of Battle Buddies, Ken Harbaugh and David Bellavia dig into the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and what the charging documents and video footage aren't telling us.

The assailant fired a shotgun but was uninjured. A Secret Service officer's vest stopped a round that doesn't appear in the charges. David breaks down the ballistics and the audio — too many shots, wrong sounds, too many officers firing at once. Both land in the same place. This might have been friendly fire.

The conversation also takes on the White House ballroom push, why the Secret Service actually did its job that night, and a quick update on Iran — where David sees surrender talks, not peace talks, and the Red Sea quietly replacing the Strait of Hormuz.
