New Trump Shooter Details Exposed: Thomas Matthew Crooks

we have a lot more information on Thomas

Matthew Crooks including the

neighborhood that he lived in his high

school background his degree in college

what he did for living his personality

let's go into the profile of the shooter

as well as what his job was mental

health history let's break everything

down first though I'd like to start by

just shouting this GoFundMe out I will

link this down below uh this is a uh

protected GoFundMe and uh Meredith uh is

putting this together she works I

believe for the Trump campaign her

LinkedIn indicates that but anyway uh

this had a $1 million goal of

fundraising money for the victims of the

Butler Pennsylvania shooting where

obviously Donald Trump was shot in the

ear uh and uh out of that million dooll

goal almost 4 million have already been

raised so absolutely incredible a lot of

folks have been donating to this VI for

example has donated to this a lot of

really big donations uh to this go on me

anyway I'll link this down below worth

noting uh and it's it's just sad very

sad uh Corey used to be a firefighter

and the uh uh fire department ended up

uh hanging out his uniform right at the

front uh of the station in honor of him

as he was protecting and shielding his

daughters from the shooting uh

absolutely terrible highly emotional so

sad and so unfair uh in fact here's

Corey's Twitter or X profile and he

responded to card or card or whatever

you want to call him over here uh also

known as the turd you can't flush anyway

uh what's everyone getting into this

weekend and Corey responded on the day

of the shooting Trump Rally Butler PA

very excitedly so very uh very sad to

see this is his last post uh

anyway so sad it's so painful especially

as a as a dad to hear this uh but but

what an honorable person firefighter

ex-marine didn't deserve to die uh

anyway let's now talk about

Thomas oh this guy okay so a few things

first of all how the hell did he get on

this freaking rooftop uh we've talked

about this at length and ab nauseum but

now you've got a lot of finger pointing

going on very common in situations like

this give you the DL on this the Secret

Service was aware of the building where

the shooter shot from in fact police in

the Secret Service previously identified

Thomas Matthews Matthew Crooks as a

threat in the days before the event why

because he was walking around the event

super sketch and sus they put out a

radio call before the event even began

sussing this guy out and putting him on

alert and apparently nobody decided to

keep their eyes on him as he climbed up

on a roof with a within 120 130 yards of

the president to take a shot at him

terrible anyway the Secret Service was

aware of the building where the shooter

shot from uh it's owned by a glass

research company and there's a lot of

speculation about why there was a ladder

at the side of that building who knows I

mean maybe Thomas planted it the day

before or maybe the glass company just

left the ladder there it's not uncommon

for commercial buildings to have a

ladder uh there but what what is

uncommon is that the Secret Service and

law enforcement didn't cover the

building the Secret Service is pointing

the finger at local law enforcement

saying it was their job to protect the

outside perimeter a common practice

they're saying the district attorney is

responding and saying look we had four

sniper teams four quick response teams

deployed the Secret Service was in

charge of security outside of the venue

not local uh law enforcement so

basically you have the classic kind of

back and forth finger pointing that

leads to guess what nothing getting done

now there was also talk that in

Pennsylvania some Secret Service asset

were actually

moved uh now this is just an allegation

the secret service has denied this but

there's some

allegations uh that the Secret Service

moved assets from the Trump rally to

Jill Biden's rally that there was some

kind of diversion this is because of a

post by uh Newsweek Secret Service

denies diverting resources to Jill Biden

uh and basically the allegation was oh

Jill was in town so they had to split

resources up didn't have enough manpower

so to speak and I say that in quote

since obviously there are women included

here as well which you know we we had a

discussion about Dei and all that stuff

in our last video on this topic secret

Services denying this let's be clear

there were not enough Secret Service

staff to handle this situation so

whether there wasn't a diversion or

whether Trump got the B team so to speak

because he's not the current president

uh or you know there's some allegations

that he got people from Homeland

Security and other departments not

associated with the Secret Service

because there was such a staffing

shortage Secret Service is like no no no

none of this is true whatever there's

going to be a lot of investigating that

goes on into this and I just want you to

know the finger pointing does no good at

this point the point is the secret

service failed in fact we even recognize

that at one point uh it looks like an

officer climbed up the ladder the very

ladder that Thomas Crooks used to get up

at the same time as folks were yelling

that there's a man with a gun uh an

officer actually climbed up uh the same

ladder and apparently Thomas Cooks

turned around pointed his rifle at the

officer the officer either went back

down or stumbled stumbled down the

ladder then Thomas turned around rotated

his rifle at Trump and started shooting

that might explain might expl explain

why the Secret Service snipers didn't

shoot earlier because maybe they didn't

see the rifle pointed down didn't see it

until he rotated around to point over

some people say they didn't have a there

he is uh alive in this shot right here

climbing up he's sort of crawling up

right there you could see him it's crazy

people are seeing him crawl into

position uh the law enforcement response

here was was absolutely pathetic we

don't need to listen to all the the

swearing and people yelling here this

man with a gun man with a gun I think

you've got the idea here uh absolutely

disgusting though a lot of folks by the

way also now suggesting that there was

enough wind to tangle the American flag

which looks either like an eagle or an

American uh or an angel quite frankly uh

but that wind may have been enough to

actually change the trajectory of that

bullet that really a just a five M an

hour wind pushing on that bullet could

have diverted it that inch that was

really needed or quite frankly probably

less than an inch but anyway let's talk

more about the crook Thomas Matthew

Crooks so what do we know about him 20

years old interested in chess and coding

he considered a nerd has an associates

degree in engineering deemed to have had

few friends and considered quiet he was

considered somebody that was actually

regularly bullied he worked at a nursing

home and helped with meal prep the

specific nursing home is the bethl park

skilled nursing and rehabilitation

center

that Center did not give any reason for

concern and they suggested that Thomas

performed his job well and they had a

clean background he didn't have a lot of

posts on social media there were no

notes letters or manifestos found the

FBI has still not been able to access

his cell phone which is leading some to

suggest that there's a conspiracy that

maybe they have the wrong person they

suggest that this was a setup some

people are trying to really analyze like

his ear they're like oh well in one

picture he has gauges and one picture he

didn't have gauges and and there's a lot

of speculation using basically his

killsh shot photo which you know is

obviously going to be a little bit of a

messed up photo uh because well like a

bullet basically went into his eye and

out of his neck it does a little bit of

damage to your head the pressure that

expands on your skull and and you know

every it it's gross you don't need to

see this stuff I don't encourage people

looking at it uh but anyway and I'm not

going to show it but the point is

there's a lot of speculation was it the

right person

I'm I don't really want to go down that

hole I think the right person is dead I

think I he probably has an iPhone

iPhones are really good and not having a

back door for the FBI to get into though

I wouldn't be surprised if eventually

they get into it it'll just take them a

little bit longer uh anyway it sounds

like he used an AR-15 with 5.56 ammo P

the gun was purchased by his father but

he was able legally uh and he was able

to purchase the ammo just before uh the

event he was part of a gun club uh there

are some rumors that he was a really bad

shot which kind of aligns with what

happened here I don't know if those

rumors are accurate he was a registered

Republican but he donated $15 to a

progressive cause uh through act blue

now I thought that was really

interesting act blue worth noting is a

platform for fundraising for Democrats

now I mentioned that because uh you know

when I ran for governor I knew act blue

very very well they only allow you to

fund raise through act uh blue because

they want all the data basically and

only Democrats are allowed to use act

blue anyway uh his parents were social

workers and counselors uh they were

registered as licensed in Pennsylvania

registered as uh one a Democrat one a

Libertarian so you kind of have a big

household here one's a republican the

kid uh Democrat uh father or mother and

then libertarian father or mother father

worked locally in bethl middle class

neighborhood uh you know this this isn't

to to like it's not like we're trying to

dox the guy uh it's pretty obvious

already where he lives I mean this this

information is all over the Internet so

this it's not like I'm revealing

anything special here but uh his act

blue donation receipt for $15 right here

January 20th 2021 this would be

inauguration time uh yeah I think that

might actually have been inauguration

day but anyway donated uh $15 here and

here's his name his address is on

Milford Drive this is not the correct

address I'm kind of doing that on

purpose uh he's on this particular

Street here I'm not trying to give the

exact address here but you've got uh

bethl park volunteer fire co uh roughly

across the street but this is the

neighborhood so this is a very low to

middle class neighborhood I think middle

class is generous to say this is these

homes are worth not that much uh I mean

let's let's go to uh let's zoom out here

to the souls you're yeah you're you're

definitely below the national medium you

know a 3 and 2,000t here sells for about

$250,000 171 for 3 and three over here

I'll look at active listings for a

moment uh in this neighborhood methyl uh

Medford Drive is where you lived uh

here's a lot for 30,000 which shows you

the dirt isn't too valuable and homes

now selling with $25,000 price Cuts uh

for $299 for a four bedroom uh here's a

269 four bedroom so you're not really

getting a lot of movement over here even

the two-bedroom at 200k is getting price

Cuts so you got a softening Market over

here

even though prices were relatively low

here the poverty rate was also deemed to

be pretty low only about 3.7% so very

low poverty rate in the area uh but

certainly by no means a a you know

luxury living this is very kind of

normal American slightly below average

uh one student who graduated one year

after Crooks went to school with him

said if someone would say something to

his face he would just kind of stare at

them so it sounded to me like he had

kind of like the more weird kind of nerd

personality uh not uncommon I feel like

you could kind of see it just in in the

pictures here of him uh these are this

is the address of the fire department by

the way uh but anyway these are um some

photos of him he was also apparently

featured at one point in a Black Rock ad

now I thought that was really

interesting and it it'll show you uh a

little bit of him uh I'll pull that up

here in a moment but what's what's

fascinating is I kind of think of him as

like the programmer type who's super

quiet smart and nobody really felt like

they I mean there are a few rumors that

you know maybe they thought he'd be the

one to shoot up a school because he was

weird didn't have a lot of friends and

he was bullied but he didn't have a

history of mental health problems it he

didn't have a history of crime didn't

have a History of Violence it seems like

just out of nowhere he kind of snapped

and that's the scariest type because how

do you screen for them

you know you kind of have to catch them

at the moment uh when they snap the

problem with that is you had a crappy

law enforcement response to this snap

he's on the roof let's listen in

hereo I teach AP and honors economics in

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania financial

wellbeing honors economics in Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania financial wellbeing to me

is knowing that I can be free to do the

things that I love to

do anyway this is like a big black rock

out or whatever and he's featured in it

you know some there he is again uh some

people are speculating that uh you know

there are hints in this ad and this is

all put together blah blah I think a lot

of that is is fugazi I'm not trying to

like cast aside but I really haven't

paid much attention to that I'm trying

to I try to stick to the facts people

considered him intelligence he

intelligent he was one of the uh 20

students to win a $500 prize for a math

and science competition he was part of

the Clarian Sportsman's Club that's the

Firearms Training Club uh he uh there

were also explosives and bomb making

material found in his car not great you

want to see that bullied a lot uh again

uh you know miserable response here from

law enforcement coordination with the

Secret Service and Trump has responded

Trump said in an interview with in an

interview with a post uh that uh Trump

feels like he supposed to be dead and

this was a very surreal

experience uh and that the doctor the

hospital called us a miracle for Trump

and that agents came in flying like they

were linebackers and knocked his shoes

off he said that agents hit me so hard

that my shoes fell off and my shoes were

on tight anyway so this gives you a

little bit of color on Thomas Matthews

the problem is how do you screen for

this right take a legally purchased

firearm he did buy ammo at some point

prior so you know can can do you do

screening at the time of buying ammo

probably not

especially since in a lot of States you

could just buy ammo online that's very

difficult to me it it it comes solely

down to a failure of uh frankly uh law

enforcement in the Secret Service

because you know we're taught if you see

something say something okay well nobody

had had an indication that he was going

to be mental beforehand or or if

anything you know it was there were just

rumors no History of Violence mental

illness problems at his workplace

problems at his home life people liked

his parents his parents were nice they

had a good reputation in the community

it's probably all soiled now uh so so

you have you've got a sort of a a very I

would say lack of indicators up

front uh and very clear indicators on

the day of he was sused out they put out

a radio call that this person was

suspicious walking by the magnetometers

you know the metal detectors basically

uh you had people shouting at the event

there's a man with a gun I don't I still

don't understand why they didn't just

pull Trump off when they heard gun gun

gun like that's all it would take in my

opinion somebody hears gun gun gun man

with gun get on the radio get Trump off

stage man with gun let's investigate

whatever right get Trump off stage take

a three minute breather it's not that

freaking hard you could always put him

right back up

okay just such a failure such a failure

uh and uh and you I was talking with

Lauren about this yesterday I think uh

and my family actually we we think there

would have been just outright Civil War

if uh you know things things went uh in

a different direction it would have been

very very very very very very bad for

the country you know I know there's some

people who are like oh I don't like

Trump you know I know there there a lot

of people were like oh I kind of wish

you I think that's terrible I I don't

condone political violence I understand

a lot of people don't like him they

don't agree with his opinions I violence

is not the

option but I think there would have been

a lot of violence a lot of violence

uh had something gone wrong so anyway
