First audible phrase does sound like it starts with "Shot", and may be followed either by "is down" or "it down", but the second phrase immediately after sounds a lot more like "Shut it down".

Also seems strange to say "Shot is down" while the "shot" is only in the process of fading out.

Not saying it's a malicious plot or anything; they might have simply had a limited time to record, and the time came to "shut it down", but I think those words were likely uttered. Could be wrong though.

In the 1970s, they would have brought plenty of tape for the video recorders and had a live feed. This is 2018. How the fuck can there be a valid technical explanation for loosing the ability to broadcast and record the President of the richest nation on the planet??????

I have good headphones on so I can hear it clear. It is shot is down.

The second one is definitely "shut it down"

My guess is the first one is also "shut it down" mixed in with some feedback because what would "shot is down" even refer to?

He still had the shot though. He was still filming and zooming out. So the shot was definitely not down. Audio seemed down though, like they lost their mic feed if they ever had one.

That is what I heard as well. I think it really may have been technical difficulties. There isn't a chance Trump is going to read the memo aloud at a major publicly covered event. As much as we'd all like to see that, let's also get real.
