Intelligence analyst Sam Shoemate appeared on the Sean Ryan Show claiming that Iranian-made Man-Pads (surface-to-air missiles) were smuggled across the U.S. border to target Donald Trump's plane. Shoemate alleged that the Secret Service was briefed on these threats, leading to changes in Trump's travel arrangements during the campaign. These claims are presented as part of a broader network of rumors circulating within veteran and intelligence-adjacent podcasts.
