Obvious splicing of “assassination attempt" audio

Incompatibility between pre- and post-gunshot audio

Sound waveform of candidate Trump’s speech interrupted by a gunshot (arrow). Note that the candidate’s speech stops within 1/100 seconds of the arrival of the gunshot sound.

At 8.21 seconds into the Fox News video recording of the July 13 “assassination attempt”, the speech of candidate Trump is interrupted by the sound of a gunshot. The gunshot sound, that is presumably due to the bullet shock wave, lasts for approximately 1/100 second. Within that 1/100 second interval, the voice of the candidate disappears from the recording.

In total 15 gunshot sounds are apparent in the audio recording. Six of the sounds - at times 8.21, 9.08, 9.74, 12.54, 12.79, 13.16 seconds - have the characteristics of the shock wave of a supersonic bullet. Six other sounds - at times 8.47, 9.26, 9.96, 12.74, 12.99, 13.29 - have the characteristics of gunshot “report” or muzzle blast. Three other gunshots occur at 13.15, 14.01 and 24.04.

Complete silence follows all of the shock-wave type sounds. The unreality is particular marked for the sound at 12.54 seconds in which the ongoing crowd sounds disappear within 1/100 seconds. Similarly, ongoing crowd sounds preceding the gunshot at 24.04 disappear within 1/100 second.

Earlier analysis of the audio showed that the sound level of the gunshots is not possible. Supersonic bullets produce a shock wave with a deafening sound level of 150 dB at a miss distance of 2 meters yet the sound appears only mildly louder than the voice of candidate Trump.

There is simply no doubt that the audio of the “assassination attempt” was fabricated.
