WEBVTT - Security Crisis Breakdown 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.800 A right news round up information overload hour this Friday. 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:04.880 Eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn is a number 0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.240 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:13.240 I know I don't ever like to criticize law enforcement, 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:17.080 in large part because their job is hard enough. Now, 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.360 we saw the best of the best on Saturday night 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.919 at the White House correspondence dinner, and that is those 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:29.159 Secret Service agent, other agents, other law enforcement men and 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:34.000 women you know do raced into harm's way to protect 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.040 the people that they were designated to protect. I have 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.639 nothing but the deepest respect for people that will take 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.960 a bullet for the people that they're hired to protect. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.720 How could you not respect that? However, I am critical 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:51.760 of the three assassination attempts. I see major problems that 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.880 have emerged that need to be dealt with. In my 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.440 humble opinion, I mean, how is it possible in Butler 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.680 that this guy gets a ladder and with a long 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.119 gun and climbs on the roof only one hundred and 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.920 thirty yards away from where Donald Trump is. Donald Trump's 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.080 lucky he's alive today. I think it was the hand 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.240 of God, frankly that saved him that day. Then the 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.920 Trump International incident. Well, you know what happened. There a 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.679 known area where paparazzi hide in the bushes just outside 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.640 these golf holes are right along the perimeter of the road, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.240 adjacent to it, parallel to it, and there's a fence 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.600 at the end of the golf course where the property ends. 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.600 On the other side of it is a tread area, 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:39.800 an area where paparazzi are known to congregate. They never 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.640 swept that area. And then we have this incident where 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:49.200 this guy is less than what seventy yards racing into 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.360 the very room where the President, the first Lady, the 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.320 Vice President, the Speaker of the House, all these cabinet 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:02.440 officials are congregating. I'm just flabbergasted by this because I 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:08.320 see three consistent problems that are all that all are 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.640 that all relate to all these individual cases. Now, if 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.919 you go to an R and C or DNC convention, 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.400 and I pointed this out before, usually there are multiple 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.960 perimeters as far as a half a mile or longer away. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.760 That's perimeter number one. To get through Perimeter number one, 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.600 you usually have to show a picture idy have. The 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.920 time you get to perimeter number two, you get magged. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.200 You get wanded, you have to empty your pockets, go 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.040 through all the protocols. By the time you get up 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.440 to the building once again, you empty your pockets, you 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.400 get magged, you get wanded, and then you have to 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:49.120 get checked four more times with picture id ironic Democrats 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.320 wanted at their convention, but they don't want to be voting. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.760 But that's a separate issue. How is it possible they 0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.720 they did not sweep Butler better? How is it possible 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:06.440 the perimeter was not much much further away? I mean, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.480 with a high powered rifle and a scope, it's not 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.000 hard to hit a target fifteen hundred yards away, never 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.799 mind one hundred and thirty yards away. That perimeter needs 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.840 to be much further away. Now, if I'm wrong, maybe 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.120 our next guest will tell us. We have Nicole Parker, 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.240 author of the two fbis the bravery and betrayal I 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.919 saw at my time at the bureau. Josh Sharad is 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.840 with US, twenty year SWAT officer, Director of Law Enforcement 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.880 for Berner or advertiser BYRNA dot com. Please look at 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.280 the videos non lethal self Defense. Welcome both of you 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.680 to the program. Nicole, is there anything I'm saying here? 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:47.160 That's wrong. 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.000 Everything you're saying is exactly right. And that's what I 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.880 love about you, Sean. You just tell it straight up 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.520 because you're generous and you're fair, because you back to blue, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.680 you back to law enforcement officers. But you know what, 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.120 when it screw up, he'd be called out. And I 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.960 think that Trump has been extremely gracious, like you, He 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.720 always backs the Blue He backed to the Secret Service, 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.360 he backed law enforcement. But sadly, you know, President Trump, 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.080 this is a third assassination attempt, and we know that 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.599 there are more threats against him than any human probably 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.160 in the history of the world. At this point. There's 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.320 just so much hate coming at him. But sadly, you know, 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.760 President Trump's like, look, I was very pleased, and again 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.800 he's extremely generous, and I appreciate that. But for him 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.200 to be pleased, it's sad because the bar is set 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.799 so low, because after Butler, he's accustomed to having around 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.880 coming at his head and getting hit in the ear. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.520 So again he's being kind, he's being generous, but we 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.119 all know that President Trump deserves better. The American people 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:49.760 deserve better. July of twenty twenty five, they released a 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.719 report from the Government Accountability Office and it outlined the 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.880 usccret services failures from Butler during the first attempt at assassination, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.200 and it was ordered by the Senate Judiciar Committee, you know, 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.559 Chuck Grassley, and I know that there's many similar calls 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.440 for this third assassination tempt right now. And if we look, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.560 six Secret Service agents were suspended after Beller but Sean, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.560 to my knowledge, not one of them was fired. And 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.200 so I just based on my own personal experience, I 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.240 believe that we always have to have grace. Again, like 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.600 you said, we're operating under the highest level of stress 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.200 and stressful circumstances. But to have no one sweep and 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.640 cover that stairwell is egregious. I don't know how they can. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.800 How about sweep the whole hotel now, if they don't 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.919 have the ability, well they don't have the manpower to 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.279 go through the entire hotel. That means every guest in 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.919 the hotel has to be checked, every room has to 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.840 be checked. Then it has to be secure. Anyone then 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.279 coming into the hotel needs to be wanded. They need 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.560 to be mag so that they can't bring something in 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.040 after their room has been swept. To me, this is fundamental, 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.400 This is basic, and I think the perimeter was way 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.080 too close to where the actual ballroom was. What if 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.440 twelve people you know, rushed through that mag like that 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.040 with guns blazing, I mean, it could have been a catastrophe. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.480 Well, and I think what's concerning to me is a 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.120 photo that Klay Travis posted on social media and it 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.479 literally shows multiple law enforcement officers and Secret Service agents 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.520 literally not in a position of ready until the president 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.760 has left the venue. You are on full duty. And 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.960 the fact that people were leaning up against the walls, 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.000 they were chatting, have her conversations, They were looking at 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.080 a magnetometer. You know who was the success here was 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.080 the canine. You see the handler taking the canine and 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.480 these video surveillance footages that are coming out, and he 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:46.320 senses something at that stairwell and then the handler continues 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.920 to proceed and then the suspect comes right out and 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.839 runs through that magnetometer. Kudos to the canine. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.120 There was one person that looks like a woman, I 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.080 can't say for sure, and she pulled out her gun. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.880 The other ten people in that picture that Clay Travis 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.960 put out, no, they were asleep on the job right there. 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:11.240 Unacceptable, unacceptable and until there's consequences. Nothing will change, and 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.920 we've talked about this over and over, but they were 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.520 not in a ready position. And again, this is local 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.040 law enforcement, federal agents. That is your job. That is 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.560 your job. And until President Trump has left the venue 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.880 and all of those that are there to be protected, 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.440 you are on duty. There's no time to be slacking off. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.360 And unfortunately that's what happened here. We're very very lucky 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.320 that President Trump, that this individual did. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:34.840 This can't happen anymore. 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:35.080 I know. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.840 Okay, one thing to do after Butler is they won't 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.240 have outdoor events again. But indoor events like this, this 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.360 was not the proper venue. If they didn't have the manpower. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.240 Now they did inherit a depleted Secret Service. That's not 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.960 their fault. But now they've had a year and a 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.880 half to bring in new agents and obviously that has 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.320 not been done either. You know, I can only tell 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.320 you Josh and Sho. I really I'm hesitant to admit this, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.240 but when I go out publicly, meaning of I'm at 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.880 an event and I have security with me. If it's 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.800 a very important event a lot of people and maybe 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.040 more risky, I bring my son Say and his team 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.520 with me. I mean, he grabs my belt. The guy 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.640 will not stop harassing me, and he's like, I don't care, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.360 this is my job, and I get it, but he 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.720 doesn't want me to die on his watch. What he 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.960 keeps telling me, you're not dying on my watch not happening. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.520 Yeah, So I definitely think we're seeing a little bit 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.680 of complacency slip in here, and Nicole pointed it out 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.040 as well. We see so much of this one, especially 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.559 when these events drown on for hours and hours and 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.800 days and days, we see this complacency set in, and 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.240 it's exactly what we saw here. We saw it in 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.720 the video, we saw in the photos of these officers 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.559 that think, well, this event's already, everybody's inside, there's not 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.480 not going to be any more activity. That's exactly when 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.280 things happen. Look, I've worked with Secret Service planning events 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.120 just like this for presidents, for congressmen, and that's exactly 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.920 when when you have to realize things can be at 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.240 their worst, is when everybody all that complacency start setting in. 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.559 Things have been set in motion already, the event has started, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.360 and now we get this lull. People that are planning 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.640 attacks understand that they're not going to try to plan 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.760 these attacks when everybody's coming in when there's a bunch 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.040 of activity, because they're more likely to be found out 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.480 and seen and not able to carry out these attacks. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.880 They wait until attention is diverted and is focused on 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.600 other parts. We saw it in Butler, we saw it here. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.520 All these things we keep seeing over and over again. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.720 This is when law enforcement officers have to be at 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.880 their most heightened alert state, when everybody else is focusing 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.080 their attention somewhere else. That is when these attacks are 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.560 going to happen. And we keep seeing this complacency slip 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.760 in whether it comes to just literally standing at alert, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.760 literally looking in the right direction, or when it comes 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:55.160 to communicating with local law enforcement like we saw in Butler, 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.040 and we let these things continue to slide because we 0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.840 just think it's not going to happen. Look, we don't 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.760 have have that luxury anymore. We've seen it time and 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.840 time again. We're going to continue seeing it. He's only 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.280 been in the seat for a little over a year. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.920 We still have several years to go, and I guarantee 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.240 you this is not going to be the last attempt 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.679 on his life. Well, other members of the Cabinet and 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.400 Congress as well. We have to continue being vigilant no 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.400 matter what's going on, no matter where the focus is, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.439 and that's got to be the mission going forward. 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.079 And especially with the president, especially a president that has 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.880 been so demonized like President Trump has. I mean, the 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:38.439 narrative on him is you know, racist, fascist, Nazi Gestapo, 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.200 and it goes on and on. There are a lot 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.200 of sick individuals out there, Nicole. I know your years 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.000 in the FBI, you dealt with these people, and they're 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:53.120 very impressionable, unfortunately, and this has a dehumanization effect, the 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.560 dehumanizing people, and there's also an incitement element to it, 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.520 although I don't think you can hold them accountable old 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:06.000 the person responsible for what they do. However, I don't know. 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.319 I mean, I'm flabbergasted. Did this happen yet again? Then 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.480 now that night, the President called me immediately from the 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.920 holding room and he's arguing with everybody in the room. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.240 I got to hear the deliberations. He wanted to go 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.360 back out and I'm like, sir, you cannot go back 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.120 out there. We don't know at this time if this 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.520 is a loan shooter or a broader conspiracy. It's not 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.040 safe and it'll probably take ten hours to sweep that 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:31.800 room anyway. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.720 Right, Well, we know President Trump is a warrior. He 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.040 doesn't back down, he doesn't play games. And we saw 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.880 him Butler, he stood right up and he said fight, fight, fight, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.360 And that's the moment we will never forget again. We 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.439 have to protect President Trump. And you know, I'm glad 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.480 that he did. He's complied with what the Super Service recommended. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.960 But Sean, just taking us back to the security failures. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.360 I've read the manifesto and I'm just going to read 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.720 a quick portion. This is from Cole Allen, who did 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.320 surveillance prior to this, and he literally is laughing. At 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.959 the end of the manifesto, he writes, ps, Okay, now 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.720 that all the staffy stuff is done, what the hell 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.000 is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna ran a bit 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.760 here and drop the formal tone. Like I expected security 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.400 cameras that every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.520 ten feet, metal detectors out the wazoo. What I got, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.840 who knows, maybe they're pranking me, is nothing. No damn security, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.360 not in transport, not in the hotel, not in the 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.880 event like the one thing that I immediately noticed walking 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.000 to visit hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.319 in with multiple weapons and not a single person there 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.040 considers the possibility that I could be a threat. And 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.200 again it goes on and on. The security at the 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.439 event is all outside focused on protesters and current arrivals, 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.480 because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.359 texts in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.920 is insane, and I very sincerely hope it's corrected by 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.560 the time this country gets actually potent leadership again. And 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.360 he goes on and on and again. That's the quote 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.720 directly from the manifesto, and that's alarming to me because 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.240 this is the suspect. This is a suspect. 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:16.240 He is mocking the Secret Service, mocking law enforcement, mocking 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.200 the whole process. But he's also exposing a vulnerability that 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.160 we cannot as a country have. All right, quick break, 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.560 we'll continue more with Nicole Parker and Josh Shirard is 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.040 with us talking about what happened at the White House 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.240 Correspondence theinner We'll get to your calls on the other 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.120 side as well. Eight hundred and ninety four one Sean 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:35.520 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.320 Are we continued, Josh Sharad is with us and Nicole 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:44.160 Parker talking about, you know, all the security failures leading 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.880 up to yet another assassination attempt against President Trump. Now 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.840 we also have to remember our top geopolitical foes, they're 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:56.320 watching all these attempts too. And do you have any doubt, Josh, 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.559 we only have less than a minute that the Iranians 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.000 would't want I want to send a team of assassins 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.520 here if they're not here already, or activate a sell 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.640 that's here to go after the president and light of 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.920 what they see as a vulnerability. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.679 Absolutely, any state nation or any anyone that's trying to 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.920 plan an attack like this is using all of this 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.520 as intel. We've seen it time and time again. We've 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.720 seen some of these calls. We've seen bogus calls go 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.320 out just to see what response times look like, to 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.520 see what response protocols look like, what kind of posture 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.440 are they going to use. This is a real world 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.200 example that they can use to look at to see 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.120 what our response is going to be, to see where 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.160 the holes in that security plan are going to be, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.240 and how to make sure that they can get around 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.800 those and how to overcome those obstacles. So anybody that's 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.600 running any kind of intel is going to look at 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.520 this with a fine tooth comb and see where they 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.160 can get in and where they can exploit our weaknesses, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.320 and unfortunately, we keep showing them time and time again. Look, 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.680 I'm twenty two year law enforcement professional. I hate money 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.080 more in quarterback as much as everybody else does. But 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.480 as law enforcement professionals, we have to look events like 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.640 this and see what can we learn, what can we 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:02.840 do this? 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.040 And I'm telling you right now there are people in 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.800 the administration that are angry that I'm being so forceful 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.480 about this, but I'm sorry. It can't happen again. I'm 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.320 not going to stop. I'm not It's too important. This 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.280 is incident number three. I don't know how many lives 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.880 this guy gets, but you know, next time it could 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.000 be a disaster, and I'm trying to prevent that from 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.560 ever happening. I've got to run. I do appreciate both 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.760 of you, Josh, thank you, Nicole, thank you. Let's go 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.320 to Richard and North Carolina next. On The Sean Hannity Show, 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.479 Happy Friday. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.920 Sir oh Sean I want to thank you first off 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.400 for taking a call and listen to your show every day. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:43.920 Thank you by friend. What's going on? 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.840 Well, I just I retired from the California Highway Patrol. 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.120 We just earned thirty years of service and I was 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.240 trained by the Secret Service and Dignitary Protection many years ago. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.480 When I saw the initial video of the suspect running 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.920 through that control point, the civil things that stood out 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.240 to me. There didn't appear to be any real control 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.600 points set up, just a large room with a magnometer 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:12.080 in it and some folding tables with several officers standing. 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.360 There were no barricades to funnel people into that control area, 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.520 and all the personnel I saw there is and brought 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.240 up by others, they seemed not to be paying a 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.720 whole lot of attention to the entire area on it. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.880 One officer had us back to the entryway. The mindset 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.240 just seemed to be at a low level of security, 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.240 not on a high state of alert for what this 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:35.040 function was. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.840 And the perimeter is way too close to the actual 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:40.800 venue it was. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:45.360 And anybody and her brother could walk in there, and 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.920 that was a huge point on it. With the trending 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.720 that I received on it as far as the shooting 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.960 or the lack thereof. This suspect entered that control point 0:16:56.040 --> 0:17:00.200 rapidly and he caught all the officers off guards. And 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.560 it takes about a second and a half to realize 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:08.560 something's going on and then more to react. And now 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:12.000 there's everybody saying, well, why didn't the shooting. There's a 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.959 couple of things that come into play with that. I 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.000 understand that you practice with firearms, and I assume you 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.560 go to the range frequently, don't you. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.560 I really can't because my hearing loss is kind of 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.040 severe after doing radio and having an IFB in my 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.560 ear all these years on television, so I have pretty 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.880 significant hearing loss, so I have to be careful how 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.000 often I get to shoot. I can shoot my burner, 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.359 which is great because it just doesn't have the same 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.560 pop or the same noise level, so I can still 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.440 maintain my proficiency that way. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.160 Well, what you should try to do next time when 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.720 you go out to the range and you're practicing is 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.840 go out and stand about twenty yards away from your 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.600 target line with your weapon holsterirt and then start running 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.159 parallel to that line, draw and fire well up and 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.679 at the target coming up and I'll guarantee you it 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:06.040 is difficult just to hit the target. Besides, and shooting. 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.359 Shooting is an art, and it you know, at a 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.840 very young age because of what my parents did for 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.359 a living and they had a loaded firearm in the house, 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.439 they wanted to make sure I was trained in the 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.199 safe use of a firearm. And that's when I was 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.919 ten years old. Then it became a passion and I 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.320 was a marksman at a pretty young age. But I 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.719 mean it was drilled into my brain about you know, 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.520 gun safety from day one. I mean drilled into it. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.400 And this is something that needs to be drilled into 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.240 these officers on it. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.720 Our country's top tier members can do. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.840 This, but they practice constantly and they fire thousands of 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.919 rounds to maintain a proficiency on it. I feel that 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.280 there should be some section made out in the range 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.840 where they're mobile and make them run, make them draw, 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:01.639 on fire, and make them hit and like say, it's 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.639 anybody that has dignitary protection duties on it should be 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:10.359 very proficient at running, drawing, and firing and able to 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:11.240 hit their target. 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.040 We needed a perimeter. Well, first of all, I would 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.679 argue we needed multiple perimeters. Number one number two, I 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.800 think they needed to be much further away from the 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.919 actual venue. Number three, they didn't sweep the hotel, hold 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:29.120 the entire hotel. They didn't sweep, they didn't secure the areas, 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.119 they didn't hold. It was probably not the right venue 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.359 for the president. I don't think they had the manpower 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.960 for it, and I just think that all of this 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.119 could have been prevented. Now some would argue, well, I mean, 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:42.840 there was no way this guy was going to get 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.760 in there and be able to shoot at the president. 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.639 I'm not so sure I buy that. Or if the 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:53.239 person was shooting indiscriminately before somebody with a weapon that 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.000 was in there, one of the security people, for one 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.680 of the cabinet members, or of some of the other 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:03.320 people that had armed protection, God knows how many people 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.000 he could have killed in the process. There probably not 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.840 the president. However, what if there was fifteen people that 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.399 rushed that mac, what if there was thirty people, What 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.320 if it was more coordinated than it actually turned out 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.159 to be. And there's too many questions here, and I 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.480 just think that we're missing Every single incident has the 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:29.240 same I think I would argue faulty planning. We're not 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.960 securing a large enough perimeter. We're not sweeping it good enough. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.479 We're not securing and holding good enough. And those are 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:41.760 the lessons I learned from Butler and from Trump International, 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:43.040 and in this case as well. 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.800 That's a true statement there, and I believe that they 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:53.359 need to move more out on that and have more officers. 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.200 And if it takes walking down an area on it 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.840 and you're only letting certain ones in, God forbid, if 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:04.520 it was a multiple attacker scenario on it, and God knows, 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:05.320 we lock. 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:10.400 It down, it has got to be one secure lock 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.800 it down. Anyway, I've got to run because I have 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:16.640 other callers. But I do appreciate you commenting Richard North Carolina, 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:20.400 God bless you. Appreciate you. Rick in Utah Next Sean 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:21.800 Hannity Show, Rick, how are you? 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:28.440 I'm just fine, Thank you for taking my call. Republican. 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.880 My whole life, I try to keep up and keep 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:38.920 myself informed of our political process. Maybe you could help 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:45.000 me understand, uh, with that ill han Bomar, with everything 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:50.879
