EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Mike Baker, Whose Fault Was The Attack On Trump? - Former CIA Agent Mike Baker explores ex-CIA Agent Dissects Trump Shooting Security Collapse And Fallout Former CIA officer Mike Baker argues the Trump assassination attempt was primarily a logistical and command‑and‑control failure, not an intelligence miss, highlighting breakdowns between the Secret Service and local law enforcement. He criticizes the apparent lack of rooftop coverage, slow communication about the gunman, and an arguably underpowered security package for Trump given his current risk profile. The conversation widens into how hyperbolic political rhetoric, institutional DEI pressures, and budget-driven undertraining contribute to systemic vulnerability. They also examine the political consequences: impacts on Trump’s image, Biden’s position, J.D. Vance’s VP pick, and how adversaries and the public interpret America’s security and political dysfunction.
