Yesterday, 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 2: my oh my, was in an interesting day on Capitol Hill. 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: And let's start with the headline. 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: We were supposed to get some answers about the assassination 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 2: intend on Donald Trump. You asked direct questions to the 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: acting director. Did we find out anything about how this happened? 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 3: Well, we had a blockbuster hearing yesterday in the Senate 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 3: Judiciary Committee with the acting Director of the Secret Service 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 3: and the Deputy Director of the FBI, and it was 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 3: designed to really get to the bottom of what went 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 3: wrong in Butler, Pennsylvania, what the Secret Service did wrong, 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 3: and how do we fix it? And I got to say, 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 3: it was frustrating, it was maddening. We saw an enormous 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 3: amount of stonewalling. We're going to walk through exactly what 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 3: happened in that hearing. Also, we've got major breaking news 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 3: about senior military leaders from Hesbola and Hamas being taken 18 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 3: out by Israel in the last twenty four hours. A big, 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 3: big victory for Israel, a big, big victory for America. 20 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 4: We're going to walk you through that right now. 21 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's two major stories. 22 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick though about our 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: good friends at Patriot Mobile. I spent yesterday with the 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: CEO of Patriot Mobile, and I can tell you it 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 2: is amazing what an impact they are having with so 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: many conservatives switching over to Patriot Mobile, especially during this 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: very important election year. You may not realize that if 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: you're with Big Mobile right now, you're giving by default 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: big donations to democratic causes and organizations that also include 30 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,639 Speaker 2: Planned parenthood. Big Mobile gives big money to the left. 31 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: And that's exactly why I want you to switch to 32 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile. Now, let's talk about how easy it is 33 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: to switch and how good the coverage is. In twenty 34 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: twenty four, you're going to be using the same exact 35 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: towers that you're using right now, except you get rid 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: of the woke agenda that is attached to Big Mobile. Also, 37 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: keep your same cell phone number you have right now, 38 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: or if you want a new number, you can get that. 39 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: That's no problem. 40 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: You can keep your same cell phone that you have 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,839 Speaker 2: right now, or you can upgrade to a new one. 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: But here's the best part. 43 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: Every time you use your phone, every time you make 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: a text, every time you pay that bill, They take 45 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: about five percent of your bill and they give it 46 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: back to conservative causes that you help choose a support 47 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: causes support are First and Second Amendment rights, the rights 48 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: of unborn children, and they support our military veterans, our 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: first responders, and are wounded warriors. So make the switch. 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: Switching is so easy now you can do it over 51 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: the phone. All you got to do is call them 52 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: nine to seven to two Patriot that's nine seven to 53 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: two Patriot, nine seven to two Patriot or Patriot Mobile 54 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: dot com slash verdict that's Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict. 55 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: Use a promo cod Verdict and you'll get free activation center. 56 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: So set the stage for us real quick. I want 57 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: to play. 58 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 2: Obviously, you're back and forth with the acting director as 59 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: you got to ask a lot of questions and it 60 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: didn't go well for him. 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: It's made a lot of headlines. 62 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: But set the stage of how important this hearing was 63 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 2: and why it was taking place. 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: So this was yesterday morning. 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: It was a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee 66 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, and we had 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 3: the acting Director. 68 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 4: Of the Secret Service. 69 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: The former director has finally resigned given the catastrophic failures 70 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: we saw and the deputy director of the FBI. And 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: so it was a hearing that went all morning, and 72 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: I got to say there was enormous concerned, enormous skepticism. 73 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: We saw it from both Republicans and Democrats who were 74 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: asking about the disastrous failures of the Secret Service. And listen, 75 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: the acting director, he is somewhat better than the old director. 76 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: The old director was brazen, she was defiant. Her view 77 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: was we owe nothing, we owe no accountability, We will 78 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: not answer any question. We did everything right. To his credit, 79 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: the acting director began his testimony by saying, we screwed up. 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: We screwed up really badly. And the fact that there 81 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: was not an agent on the roof where the shooter 82 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 3: was was utterly indefensible. That's a step in the right direction. 83 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 3: That being said, he's stonewalled, and he's stonewalled in a 84 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 3: way that was infuriating. And look, rather than meet describe 85 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 3: it to you, just give a listen. Here's my questioning 86 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 3: of the acting Director of the Secret Service yesterday morning. 87 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: Thank you, miss chairman, misterro thank you for being here. 88 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 3: I agree with what you said at the outset that 89 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 3: the individual Secret Service agents demonstrated remarkable personal courage putting 90 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: their bodies in between the line of sight of the 91 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: shooter and the president. That being said, the bravery of 92 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: the line agents is quite different from the decisions of 93 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: Secret Service leadership. Secret Service leadership committed catastrophic security failures, 94 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 3: indeed the worst security failures for the Secret Service since 95 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one, since the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan. 96 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: It is incumbent upon this committee to determine why those 97 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 3: security failures happened. Just after the shooting, Secret Service put 98 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 3: out an official statement from your spokesperson that says, there's 99 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: an untrue assertion that a member of the former president's 100 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: team requested additional security resources that those were rebuffed. 101 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: This is absolutely false. 102 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 3: In fact, we added protective resources and technology and capabilities 103 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: as part of the increased campaign travel tempo. 104 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 5: Was this tweet accurate with respect to Butler, Pennsylvania. It 105 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 5: is accurate, sir. 106 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: It is accurate that the Trump team had not add 107 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: asked for additional security and had not been rebuffed. 108 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 5: If you're talking about Butler, Pennsylvania, all assets requested were approved. 109 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 5: If you're talking about the media reporting of assets requested. 110 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 5: There were times when assets were unavailable and not able 111 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 5: to be filled, and those gaps were staffed with state 112 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 5: and local law enforcement tactical assets. 113 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: So I'm reading from the Washington Post July twentieth, twenty 114 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: twenty four secret Services denied requests for more security at 115 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: Trump events the opening paragraph. Top officials of the US 116 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: Secret Service repeatedly denied requests for additional resources and personnel 117 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: sought by Donald Trump's security detail in the two years 118 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: leading up to his attempted assassination, according to four people 119 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 3: familiar with the requests. Is that right that repeatedly the 120 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: Trump detail asked for more resources and repeatedly Secret Service 121 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: leadership turned that down. 122 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 5: That is not accurate, Senator, assets are requested. There's a 123 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,039 Speaker 5: process that has made. 124 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: How many requests did the Trump team or the Trump. 125 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 4: Detail ask for? I can get you that number in 126 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 4: a Q. 127 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 5: You don't You don't know now, so I can speak 128 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 5: to the ones that reported in the Washington Post and 129 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 5: we can go through them if you like. 130 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: But you don't know how many requests there were in general? 131 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 5: How many requests since twenty twenty one that the former 132 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 5: Trump detail has made a request for asking. 133 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: You've had two weeks you had a spokesperson put something 134 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: out that is false on its face. By the way, 135 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 3: did you approve the statement when it went out? 136 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 4: I don't know if I did or didn't. Say. 137 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: Has this spokesperson is he still employed? 138 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: Does he still have still employed? Center? 139 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 3: So he lied on behalf of the Secret Service? He 140 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: still has a job. Did your predecessor, the former director, 141 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,239 Speaker 3: does she approve the statement? 142 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 4: Senator? 143 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 5: Our comms team they send out statements, they do deconflict them, 144 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 5: and they put them out. 145 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 4: Did she approve this statement? 146 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: I don't know if she did or did not. And 147 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: you don't know if you did either. 148 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 4: I don't recall approving it. Senator. 149 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: Will you commit to provide this committee and write every 150 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: written request for additional resources from the Trump campaign or 151 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: the Trump Detail and every response from Secret Service? 152 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 5: Senator, I will commit to providing responses and getting you 153 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 5: the information that you're seeking. 154 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 6: Me. 155 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 3: Ask you something, and who makes the decision to deny 156 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: those requests? 157 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 4: Did you make that decision? 158 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 5: Which requests are you telling about the ones that want 159 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 5: us in the post? 160 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: Yes? 161 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 5: The processor is that a detail will make a request 162 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 5: for either staffing, technical assets that is handled between the 163 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 5: field office and the detail. It goes up to a 164 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 5: logistics office between our. 165 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 3: Okay, so there's a bureaucracy. Is there a decision maker? 166 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 4: It's not a bureaucracy, Senator. That's a person that's a 167 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 4: decision maker. 168 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 5: Is there one, Senator, it's a conversation. 169 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 4: It's not just an absolute yet. So let me tell 170 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 4: you what I believe. 171 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: I believe that the Secret Service leadership made a political 172 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: decision to deny these quests, and I think the Biden 173 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: administration has been suffused with partisan politics. Did the same 174 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 3: person who denied the request for additional security to President 175 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 3: Trump also repeatedly deny the request for security to Robert F. 176 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: Kennedy Junior, whose father was murdered by an assassin and 177 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 3: whose uncle was murdered by an assassin? Did the same 178 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 3: person make that decision? 179 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: Senator? 180 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 5: What I will tell you is that Secret Service agents 181 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 5: are not political. 182 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: Okay, you're not answering you know what. Leadership by the president, 183 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: leadership appointed by the president is political. I have a 184 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 3: simple question, yes or no. Did the same person deny 185 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: the Trump requests that also denied the RFK request. 186 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 4: That's a yes or no question. Senator. That is not 187 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 4: a yes or no question one. 188 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 5: There is a process for a candidate nominee to receive protection. 189 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 4: Is there a by Cameron? Does the bike stop budy 190 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 4: artisan process? 191 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 3: That they all say by cameral bipartisan process? 192 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 4: What can candidate not a chack? Do you have a Cameron? 193 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 5: Mister Kennedy submitted a request that was referred over to 194 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 5: the Sea pack. 195 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: Okay, you're refusing to answer the question. Let me ask 196 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: because because the failures on that day were catastrophic. By 197 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 3: the way, is it true that on the day of 198 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: the of the Butler event that Secret Service transferred agent 199 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: from President Trump to. 200 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 4: The First Lady. No, sir, that's not true. That's been 201 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 4: widely reported. It's not true. 202 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 5: There was one airport agent that actually went on the 203 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 5: MANPI request for the Trump detail. 204 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 4: They handled the arrival at the airport. 205 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: What is the What was the relative size of the 206 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: Trump detail compared to the detail that is assigned to 207 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 3: the president of the First Lady? 208 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 5: Senator, the former president travels with a full shift just 209 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 5: like the president. 210 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: What's the red so the exact same size? Is that 211 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 3: your testimony that the President Trump had the same size 212 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: detail that President Biden has on. 213 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 5: The day of in Butler, the agent surrounding him. It 214 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 5: is the same number of agents surrounding the president today. 215 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 5: There is a difference between a sitting president who also 216 00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 5: not only. 217 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 3: All on using president in a way that is not clear. 218 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 3: Is it your testimony that in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump 219 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: had the same number of agents protecting him that Joe 220 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 3: Biden has at a comparable event. 221 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 5: I'm telling you the shift, the close protection shift surrounded yes, 222 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 5: or you ask me, Senator, I'm trying to answer it. 223 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 3: You are not answering it. Is it the same number 224 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: of agents or not? 225 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 5: Senator, there is a difference between the sitting president of 226 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 5: the United States. 227 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: And what's the difference? 228 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 5: The difference two x three x five national demand authority 229 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 5: to launch a nuclear strike. 230 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 4: I'm not over assets. 231 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 3: How many more with the president that's a former president. 232 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: You're refusing to. 233 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 3: Add a number of Secret Service I'm interrupting him. Stop 234 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 3: interrupting me, go ahead, refusing to answer clear and direct questions. 235 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: I am asking the relative difference in the number of 236 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: agents between those assigned to Donald Trump and those assigned 237 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: to Joe Biden. I'm not asking why you assign more 238 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: to Joe Biden. I'm asking is the difference? Is it 239 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 3: two X? 240 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 4: Is it three X? Is it five X? Is it 241 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: ten X? 242 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 5: Senator I will get you that number so you can 243 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 5: see it with your own eyes. 244 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 2: Senator number one, let's start at the end. He says, 245 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: he will get you those numbers. This is not a 246 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: hard question. You asked about the difference in the details, 247 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: and yet he clearly didn't want to answer that question. 248 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: Is that because we're going to be so shocked by 249 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: what that answer is? 250 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: So listening He engaged in a very deliberate effort at deception. 251 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: He said, the close protective detail is identical. Now understand 252 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 3: a secret service detail that is protecting someone. You have 253 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,359 Speaker 3: the close protective detail, which are the agents that actually surround. 254 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: The protect tea. 255 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: You also have typically a perimeter that is often at 256 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: three levels, the close protection, a second perimeter level that's 257 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: often where you see magnetometers, that's often when you see 258 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 3: people execs, and then you have the furthest out perimeter. 259 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 3: What he did not want to answer is how many 260 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 3: agents we're protecting Donald Trump? How many agents typically protect 261 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: Joe Biden? And by the way, how many agents protect 262 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: the first lady, Jill Biden. Now I can tell you 263 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: following up this cross examination, we have what are called 264 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 3: QFRS questions. 265 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: For the record. 266 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 3: So I am submitting written questions. I am asking the 267 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 3: Acting Director of the Secret Service number one, how many 268 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 3: agents were assigned to Donald Trump? Number two, how many 269 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: are typically assigned to Joe Biden? Number three, how many 270 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: are typically assigned the first lady. Now, to be clear, 271 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: and this is where, listen, there's some strategy in terms 272 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: of how you approach across examination like this in public hearing. 273 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: I did not ask him this in a public hearing 274 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 3: why because he would refuse to answer. What he would 275 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: say is I'm not going to disclose to you how 276 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: many agents are as signed to Donald Trump because that 277 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 3: would endanger the security of the protective detail, and that 278 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 3: that's a reasonable response. It's why I didn't ask the question. 279 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 3: Because there's there's something that is known as law enforcement confidential. 280 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 3: So when I ask him a question for the record, listen, 281 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 3: I have TSSCI clearance. I have the top level of 282 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: security clearance there exists in the government. I want to 283 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: know the exact number how many friggin agents were assigned 284 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: to Trump? How many were assigned to the first lady. 285 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 3: How many were assigned to the president. I'm not going 286 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: to reveal those numbers, so when I get them, I'm 287 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: assuming he will tell me. If he tells me their 288 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 3: law enforcement confidential. I'm not going to repeat them on 289 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: this podcast. But what I am going to repeat is 290 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 3: what I asked him that he refused to answer. What 291 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: is the relative difference? I understand, Joe Biden, the sitting 292 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: president's detail is larger than Trump's, but by what margin? 293 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 4: Is it double? Is it triple? Is it five X? 294 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 4: Is it ten x? 295 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 3: He did not want to answer that question. The American 296 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: people are entitled to know that question. 297 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: Let's also go back to some other questions that were 298 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: asked of him, and I think these are important. One 299 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: of them came from one of your good friends and colleagues, 300 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: Mike Lee. 301 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: A very simple question. Take a listen. 302 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 5: No information regarding a weapon on the roof was ever 303 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 5: passed to our personnel. 304 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 4: How is that even possible? Do you want to comment 305 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 4: to that senator again? 306 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 5: I believe that information and this is probably something my 307 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 5: colleague can expound on. Information that was in law enforcement 308 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 5: local law enforcement channels but did not cross over and 309 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 5: make it to Secret Service awareness. 310 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: I mean, that might be one of the worst answers 311 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: I've ever heard. Center and the fact that he's confirming 312 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: what we were terrified of, which is no information regarding 313 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: a way up on the roof for the shooter on 314 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: the roof was ever passed to our personnel. Now, when 315 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: he refers to our personnel, he's clearly referring to those 316 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: in the Secret Service or the Secret Service Sniper Team. 317 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 2: And Mike Lee's response is spot on right. How is 318 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: that even possible? 319 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, this was, as I said, a catastrophic security 320 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: failure by the leadership of the Secret Service. They are 321 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: not taking responsibility for that failure. Now, I got to 322 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 3: tell you, the way this hearing was set up, we 323 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: had five minute rounds. It is difficult to walk through 324 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: the details of what you need to get through in 325 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 3: five minutes. I ended up taking about seven, which meant 326 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 3: I went about two minutes over and that's always leary. 327 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: But let me tell you some of the other questions 328 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: that I had that I was prepared to ask, but 329 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: because the acting director of the Secret Service was filibustering 330 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: to some extent, he was interrupting me to some extent. 331 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 3: He was belligerent to a significant extent. I didn't get 332 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: to them, but they are a whole series of questions 333 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 3: that need to be answers. And by the way, I'm 334 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: asking every one of these questions in writing. So in 335 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 3: a follow up to hearing, you ask written questions Number one, 336 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 3: the shooter when he came into the rally site in Butler, Pennsylvania, 337 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: he was stopped by Secret Service at the metal detectors. 338 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: He had a rangefinder with him. That was at three pm. 339 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 3: Why did Secret Service not detain him? Why did they 340 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 3: not question him about the ragefinder? Now, the acting director 341 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 3: of the Secret Service, he said, well, it was a 342 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 3: recreational rangefinder. It was like a golf rangefinder that you 343 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: used to look the distance of the pen. Now you're 344 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: right now, you're with your son at the World Championship. 345 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 3: You probably have a golf rangefinder. Yes, you know what. 346 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 3: You know what in Butler, Pennsylvania, they weren't playing golf. 347 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: They weren't trying to figure out where the was. There 348 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 3: is no benign or innocious explanation for why someone shows 349 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: up at a political rally with a rangefinder. So that's 350 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 3: question number one. Why didn't you detain him. Why didn't 351 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: you question him? Why don't you say why the hell 352 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 3: do you have this rangefinder? They didn't after that, Two 353 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 3: and a half hours later, at about five point thirty, 354 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 3: the shooter was seen. And by the way, let me 355 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: make it aside, you will notice on this podcast, I 356 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 3: will never ever ever say the name of the shooter. 357 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 3: I think people that commit heinous acts like this are 358 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 3: evil bastards who deserve to be forgotten by history. So 359 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 3: I will never I'll call him the shooter, but I 360 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 3: will not repeat his name. But the shooter at about 361 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 3: five thirty was observed using the rangefinder to measure the 362 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: distance from where he was to the podium where Donald 363 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 3: Trump was. The next obvious question why did the was 364 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: the shooter not detained? Then? 365 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 4: Question? 366 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 3: Then he was observed by law enforcement scoping out the distance. 367 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 3: That is obvious and highly suspicious activity. Third question, why 368 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 3: were there not more agents? We had repeated requests over 369 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: and over and over again from the Trump team. We 370 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 3: need more agents, We need more agents. Why were there 371 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 3: not more agents in the outer perimeter? Why there were 372 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 3: there not more agents? On another question, why was there 373 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: not a Secret Service agent on that rooftop? It is obvious. 374 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 3: It was about one hundred and forty yards away from 375 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 3: the president. That is a clean line of sight for 376 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 3: a sniper. That is not a difficult shot. Why was 377 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 3: there not a Secret Service agent on that roof to 378 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: ensure that nobody else was there? 379 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 4: He did not answer that question either. 380 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: Why let me ask you this question. 381 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question on that because there's 382 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people that ask me this, and I 383 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: want you to. 384 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: Answer your perspective. 385 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,719 Speaker 2: If they didn't have a team, right, There's been arguments 386 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: when maybe they didn't have a team to cover that roof, 387 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 2: and so it was lack of resources. 388 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 3: Assign the damn agents. There are four thousand Secret Service 389 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 3: agents assign the agents. So one of the fundamental problems 390 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 3: is the Secret Service. 391 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: I believe. 392 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 3: I haven't had this confirmed, but here's what I believe 393 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 3: was happening. They were treating Donald Trump as a former president. Now, listen, 394 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 3: former presidents have Secret Service protection for life. So Jimmy 395 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: Carter right now, who is almost one hundred years old, 396 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter has a Secret Service detail now, to be honest, 397 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 3: that's right, that's good. But the threats against Jimmy Carter 398 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 3: at this point in his life are very low. There 399 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 3: are just not a lot of acting Trump. There are 400 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 3: not a lot of active murderers seeking to kill Jimmy 401 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: Carter at the very end of his natural life. We know, 402 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 3: by the way, the nation of Iran has hired assassins 403 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: to murder Trump. So you don't just have crazy ass 404 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 3: lunatics who want to shoot him. You literally have a 405 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 3: nation state with billions of dollars to fund assassins to 406 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: murder him. And what I believe the Secret Service here's 407 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 3: what I think happened. The Biden administration is political in 408 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 3: every decision it makes. I think they didn't want to 409 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 3: up Trump's security detail because if they did so, they 410 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 3: would have to acknowledge his legitimacy. Listen, Trump is not 411 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 3: just a former president who's retired and is off like 412 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: painting paintings and building houses for habitat for humanity. He 413 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 3: is the Republican nominee to be president right now. He 414 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 3: is I think likely the next president of the United States. 415 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 3: And the Biden administration, I believe this was all politics. 416 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 3: The leadership of the Secret Service did not want to 417 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 3: up his detail because it would be according credibility and 418 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 3: seriousness to his campaign. It is I believe the identical 419 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: reason they refuse repeatedly to give a Secret Service detailed 420 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 3: Robert F. Kennedy Junior now listen, you and I on 421 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: this podcast months ago called them out and said it 422 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: is outrageous. 423 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 4: Robert F. 424 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 3: Kennedy Junior, his father RFK Senior was murdered when he 425 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: was running for president of the United States. His uncle 426 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: JFK was murdered as the sitting president of the United States. 427 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 3: RFK Junior has had multiple death threats, He has had 428 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 3: multiple attempts on his life. And I believe the reason 429 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 3: that the Biden administration didn't give him a Secret Service 430 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 3: protection is they hate the fact that another Democrat is 431 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 3: running against what was then Joe Biden now Kamala Harris, 432 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 3: and if they gave Secret Services protection to him, it 433 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 3: would be acknowledging he was legitimate. That is if that 434 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 3: is the basis, It is a purely political decision. It 435 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 3: is indefensible and we need to get answers on it. 436 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, great point. I want to talk to you about 437 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: AMO Squared. 438 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: They are a company that help you stay stocked up 439 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: on ammunition automatically.

Senator, I want to ask 476 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 2: you another couple quick questions about this because there's so 477 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: much that came out in this hearing. One of them 478 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 2: you mentioned a moment ago was about Iran and I 479 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: want to play this because I do think it just 480 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: shows how shocking how unprepared the Secret Service was, not 481 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: just at this event, but maybe at many other events 482 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 2: that were supposed to be protecting Donald Trump. 483 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 7: What is the nature of the Iran threat? The threat 484 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 7: to former President Trump? That has been mentioned, but we 485 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 7: know that. 486 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 4: Let me be clear here. 487 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 6: The terrorist regime of Iran have been targeting people our 488 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 6: country for many, many years now. We've talked about that 489 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 6: here before. I want to be clear about that from 490 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 6: the FBI stamp. Have we know publicly they've put they've 491 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 6: targeted former President Trump, They've called for his assassination. 492 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 2: I mean that they know this, and they say they've 493 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: been doing this for years, and yet you let this 494 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 2: building just sit unattended. And I go back to the 495 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: question I asked you earlier, because it's a question many 496 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: have asked if was just say hypothetical center, they didn't 497 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: have the manpower hypothetical for the Secret Service. 498 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: And I have the manpower, get it. 499 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they have used those that were on the 500 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: ground there locally, the SWAT teams that were there locally 501 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 2: to cover that roof. 502 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: Well and to some extent, so the Secret Service was 503 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 3: trying to pass the blame to local law enforcement. They 504 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 3: were saying, well, local law enforcement screwed up. And so 505 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: they said at one point that there were local swat 506 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 3: teams that were supposed to be monitoring that roof, and 507 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 3: there's been testimony that there was a local swat team 508 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 3: there and then they disappeared. Now they won't tell us 509 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 3: who it was. They won't tell us who made the 510 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 3: decision to leave that post. There has been media reports 511 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: that there was someone assigned to be on that roof 512 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 3: but it was too hot, so they left. We need 513 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 3: to know the answer to that that that is. They're 514 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 3: they're they're not. But what's what the Secret Service is 515 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 3: trying to do is pass the buck to local law enforcement, 516 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 3: say local law enforcement screwed up. But I'll tell you 517 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: a couple other questions that I was going to ask 518 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 3: and that I that I am asking and writing. So 519 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 3: we know and we've seen the videos. In fact, we 520 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 3: played this on this podcast at the time. There were 521 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 3: multiple spectators who were outside the perimeter who saw the 522 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 3: shooter on the roof. They saw the shooter on the 523 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 3: roof with a gun with a rifle, and they began 524 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 3: screaming and yelling and saying there's a man on the roof, 525 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: a man on the roof of the gun. They began 526 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 3: doing that one minute and fifty seven seconds before the 527 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 3: shooting began. That's a lot of time. They told local 528 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 3: law enforcement. It was a sign in that outer perimeter 529 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 3: there's a man on the roof with a gun. Now, 530 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 3: one of the enormous problems is there was apparently zero 531 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 3: coordination communication between local law enforcement and Secret Service. So 532 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 3: a natural question a minute in fifty seven seconds before 533 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 3: the shooting began, spectators observe a man on the roof 534 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 3: of a gun, why do the local police officers who 535 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 3: were there not immediately radio Secret Service and say there's 536 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 3: a shooter. Pull President Trump down. That's what you do 537 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 3: in that circumstance, is you pull them down. If you 538 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 3: have the protect tee and you know that there's a 539 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 3: potential sniper and it's a dangerous situation, you go up, 540 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 3: you pull them down, say miss President, you need to 541 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 3: come down for a second, and you just pull them 542 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: out of the harm's way and then you go and 543 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: deal with the law enforcement threat. Why did they not 544 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 3: do that for a minute and fifty seven second and 545 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 3: what appears to be the answer, but the acting director 546 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 3: would not answer. It is there was no interoperability. There 547 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 3: was no communication between local law enforcement and the Secret Service. 548 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 3: Now it gets even worse. A local police officer climbed 549 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: up on the shoulders of another local police officer climbed 550 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 3: up to the roof. So when the people are yelling, hey, 551 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 3: there's a guy with a gun, he climbed up to 552 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 3: see it. 553 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 4: He climbs up. 554 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 3: To the roof, He pulls his head up, and the 555 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 3: shooter turns and points his rifle at the officer's head. Now, 556 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: the officer ducks because he doesn't want to get shot 557 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 3: in the head. And the testimony was he fell about 558 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 3: eight feet to the ground. That happened twenty four seconds 559 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 3: before the first shot was fired. Now, in any ordinary 560 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 3: insane situation, the officer as he sees the rifle, as 561 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 3: he sees the man on the roof, so he knows. 562 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 3: You have a police officer that knows there's a shooter 563 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 3: with a rifle on the roof. While the president is talking, 564 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 3: here's what should happen. The officer, as he's ducking down, 565 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 3: he pulls out his radio and he says, gun, gun, gun, shooter, shooter, shooter, 566 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: And if the Seat Service here is that they have 567 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 3: twenty four seconds for the detail to run up to 568 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 3: grab the president, to pull him down under the podium. 569 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 3: And by the way, they also have two counter snipers. 570 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 3: If they get over the radio gun gun gun shooter, 571 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 3: shooter shooter, you've got twenty four seconds for the counter 572 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: snipers to see the sniper, see the shooter, and take 573 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 3: him out. If that happens, President Trump is not shot. 574 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: Fire Chief Corey Comparatory is not murdered. The two other 575 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 3: people who were severely injured or not injured, And what 576 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 3: appears to be the case, although the acting director of 577 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: the Secret Service would not confirm this, is there was 578 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 3: no radio interoperability. In other words, what the local police 579 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 3: officer saw he could not communicate with Secret Service, and 580 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 3: that is utterly unacceptable and what is infuriating. There was 581 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: nothing in the hearing yesterday that suggested they've changed what 582 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 3: they've done. So if they're relying on local law enforcement 583 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 3: for important security and yet they have no way to 584 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 3: communicate with local law enforcement about what they're seeing, it 585 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 3: is fundamentally ineffective. And the most important question is what 586 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 3: are they doing to prevent this from happening again? And 587 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 3: there was zero answer to that question in the hearing. 588 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 2: Yesterday, final question on this And somebody sent this to 589 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: me earlier today, and I'm just going to read it 590 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 2: the way it was sent to me. It says, quote, 591 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: it's sad that we live in a country now. We're 592 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: a hard working, regular guy who goes to work from 593 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: seven in the morning till nine o'clock at night or 594 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 2: eight o'clock put in fifty sixty hour week, will quote 595 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: face more professional consequences for sharing an offensive joke online. 596 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: Then the unoected. 597 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 2: Bureaucrats task with protecting our president will face for almost 598 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 2: getting the leading candidate killed. Now, according to the acting 599 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: Secret Service director, he admitted to you guys yesterday that 600 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 2: no agent assigned to the Trump July thirteenth rally has 601 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: been fired. And in fact there's only the secret the 602 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: head of the Secret Service that was forced to resign 603 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: after a horrible display on Capitol Hill. But it doesn't 604 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 2: seem like there's been any other accountability. And that's sad, 605 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: isn't it. 606 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 3: It's infuriating. So, as best I can tell, in almost 607 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 3: four years of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris being in the 608 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 3: White House, not a single person has been fired from 609 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 3: any job whatsoever. You have the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. It 610 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 3: was an absolute debacle that was embarrassing. It undermined the 611 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 3: US military. It led to the deaths of thirteen servicemen 612 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 3: and women. Nobody was fired. There was no accountability. You 613 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: have here the first shooting of a presidential candidate, a 614 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 3: former president since nineteen eighty one, since Ronald Reagan. Nobody 615 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 3: was fired. In any sane world, the director of the 616 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 3: Secret Service would have resigned that day. In any sane world, 617 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 3: the president would have fired the director of the Secret Service. 618 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 3: But there's no accountability. Now you now have the acting director. 619 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 3: And one question you asked me at the beginning of 620 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 3: this pod, should the acting director be fired? And I'm 621 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 3: going to say, I don't know. I think the proof 622 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 3: is in the pudding. So on one level, the acting director, 623 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: whom I don't know personally, but he's been a longtime 624 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: career Secret Service agent and officer, his answers demonstrated massively 625 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 3: more candor than the old director. The old director was 626 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 3: handpicked by Joe Biden, and Joe Biden I believe the 627 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 3: old director was there. She used to be on Joe 628 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 3: Biden's Secret Service detail when he was vice president. I 629 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 3: think they handpicked her because they wanted the Secret Service 630 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 3: to cover up Joe Biden's massive mental decline, and so 631 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 3: they put her in that place as a political decision 632 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 3: to protect his political vulnerabilities. That's what I believe. But 633 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 3: she was and we talked about this in a prior podcast. 634 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 3: When she did on All Senators briefing, she stonewalled she 635 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 3: would not answer any questions. She said they did everything 636 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 3: perfectly except for the fact that the president was shot 637 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 3: and by the way, to be clear, had the bullet 638 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 3: been a half inch to the left, Donald Trump would 639 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 3: be dead today. She described this as a success for 640 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 3: the Secret Service. It's not a success. It is I 641 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 3: think God's providence. I believe God turned Trump's head. But 642 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 3: we came within a half inch of the history of 643 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 3: the world being changed that day. So compared to the 644 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 3: former director, the acting director is at least admitting they 645 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 3: screwed it up, they did something wrong. He has some 646 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 3: modicum of candor. Here's my answer in terms of whether 647 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 3: he should be fired. How does he answer the questions 648 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 3: for the record that I and other senators ask him. 649 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 3: I believe the Secret Service needs radical transparency. Among the 650 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 3: questions I'm asking also is how many threats are directed 651 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 3: right now in the last year against Donald Trump? How 652 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 3: many threats are directed against Joe Biden? How many threat 653 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 3: threats are directed against the First Lady? And had to 654 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 3: be clear, all three need to be protected. I'm not 655 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 3: saying that Joe or Joe Biden should not be protected. 656 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 3: But one of the public press reports is on the 657 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 3: day of the Butler rally, they pulled members of Trump's 658 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 3: security detail and put them on the First Lady's detail. 659 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 3: Now I don't know this, but Secret Service does. But 660 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 3: I'm going to venture a guess that the number of 661 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 3: threats against Trump versus against the First Lady, it is 662 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 3: at least one hundred cks, And it wouldn't surprise me 663 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 3: if it is a thousand x that I think Donald 664 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 3: Trump is the most threatened person on the face of 665 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 3: the planet. And if it is the case, it is 666 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 3: all the more indefensible that the Secret Service political leadership 667 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 3: would not provide sufficient agents to keep him safe. And 668 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 3: I'm asking them how many threats against Trump, how many 669 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 3: threats against Joe Biden? How many threats against Joe Biden 670 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 3: will see if they answer that, you know, based on 671 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 3: the testimony, I'm skeptical that they will. 672 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 2: As many of you know, I am a huge advocate 673 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 2: for a god given Secondmendment rights, and without carrying a firearm, 674 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 2: I would not be here today.
