On July 13, 2024, a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania nearly became a moment that rewrote American history. In this deep-dive episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob, host Bradley Teller breaks down the Trump assassination attempt—from the shooter’s rooftop position and ignored warnings, to shocking Secret Service security failures, innocent victims caught in the crossfire, and the conspiracy theories that followed.

We examine the exact timeline of the Butler rally shooting, the quarter-inch that saved Donald Trump’s life, the tragic death of firefighter Corey Comperatore, and the institutional breakdowns that fueled a nationwide crisis of trust. Was this deep-state conspiracy—or devastating incompetence?

This episode goes beyond headlines to uncover what really happened in Butler, PA—and why it still matters.
