Guest says Google Trends sometimes shows pre-incident search spikes in Washington DC

What was said

"In more than half the time, may maybe half the time or a little more than half the time, you would notice weird blips on that name a day or two, sometimes a week before the event in weird locations like Washington DC."

The guest says he used Google Trends when researching mass shooting incidents and claims he often saw “blips” of searches for an alleged attacker’s full name shortly before an event, including from locations such as Washington DC. He presents this as something he used informally to judge whether incidents might be staged, while acknowledging he cannot identify who was behind the searches.
