WEBVTT - Security Failures Exposed 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.640 Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred nine point one, 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.119 Shawn on number if you want to be a part. 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:06.159 Of the program. 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:08.720 Look, I would argue, and I keep going back to 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.920 the same words I've been using, And you have a 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:16.600 sweep of an area, then you secure the area that 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.920 you have swept to make sure that nobody can then 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.560 contaminate it if you will or get into that area, 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.160 because it is secure at that point and it remains secure. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.640 The last part of the equation is the perimeter. And 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:34.599 I have been in very secure locations. There have been 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.479 other instances. I've been around other heads of state, and 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.440 I can tell you the level of security is far 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.560 greater than that of our own government. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:43.879 I'm just giving you the facts. 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.000 Now, this is not in any way impune the great 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.760 work of the guys that were on the ground responding 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.080 to the threat. But I'm saying that the threat needed 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.319 to be avoided. And you can argue, and I've heard 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.120 people arguing, well, there's no way to sweep an entire hotel, 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.320 And my answer tell me why not. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:03.520 It has to be done. 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.680 And if you go to this this lunatic with his manifesto, 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.080 he's actually mocking how easy it was for him to 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.200 get these guns in place, and that to me is frustrating. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.520 I can tell you, you know, for example, when we 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:22.279 go to the DNC convention or the RNC convention, usually 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.520 there is an outer outer perimeter, and then then you 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.360 go through a checkpoint, and then they check your credentials, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.240 and then you go through another checkpoint, and that's where 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.560 you get wanded and go through a magnetometer. Then by 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.680 the time you get inside you do it again. And 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.720 so there are multiple layers of multiple checkpoints. I can 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.679 tell you going into the rn C, D and SAY 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.679 conventions in twenty twenty four, I was stopped, had to 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:52.360 show ID at least three times, sometimes four, and I 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.600 had to you know, take all the stuff out of 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.840 my pockets, get wanded, go through a mag at least twice, 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.400 and I was going through the press entrance. In other words, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.840 they probably make it a little bit easier. Not sure 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.840 if that should be the case either anyway. Nicole Parker 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.959 is with us, author of the two fbis The Bravery 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.919 and Betrayal I Saw in My time. Also Gary Byrne, 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.120 author of Secrets of the Secret Service, The History and 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.880 uncertain Future of the US Secret Service. I don't mean 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.079 to in any way disparage anybody at the Secret Service. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.320 I have great respect for the fact that these guys, 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:27.880 all of. 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:28.799 Them to a fault. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.760 The people that I've known and met are all willing 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.840 to take a bullet for the president. But I'm telling 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.480 you there's something institutionally wrong with what we're doing here, 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.840 and if we don't fix it, we're going to have 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.000 a massive catastrophe in this country. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.320 Anyway, welcome both of you. Nicole. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.880 First off, I think it's important to delineate this is 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.840 not an FBI problem. The FBI has the FBI Director, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.680 Cash Vittella, he'll be on TV tonight, has said the 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.400 FBI will offer all the help aid support they can. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.960 We do have a problem. This comes under the purview 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.800 of the Department of Homeland Security. We have a new Secretary, 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.040 Mark way Mullen. But more importantly, we've also had a 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:10.360 funding of the Department of Homeland Security issue. The Secret 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.120 Service is part of that funding and they're expected to 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.400 run out of funds this very week, of all weeks, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.639 and hopefully that will get resolved. So it really isn't 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.680 the purview of the FBI. However, they're going to be 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.919 a big part of the investigative part of this, which 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.440 we already know pretty much everything. I think anyone would 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.560 ever want to know about this guy, right, So, first. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.560 Of all, I, you know, have such deep respects for 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.080 the Secret Service. I worked with the Secret Service. I 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.320 actually worked in an event with President Trump when I 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.680 was in the FBI, worked closely with the Secret Service, 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.080 and it went off lawlessly. And so I agree with you. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.160 I heard your word Shaan on Saturday night with alarming 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.280 to think. You know, we went through Butler and then 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:55.720 obviously the Palm Beach golf incident. Looks it's not impossible 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.840 to sweep an area or a hotel. Would it be difficult, yes, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.240 impossible No, But I think it comes back to the 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.720 safety and security of the president and his administration in 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.080 the cabinet. It doesn't matter what it is, it's got 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.240 to be safe and secure the ballroom. It just continues 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.000 to give justification they need the funding for or they're 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.839 not even asking for funding for this. We just need 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:16.880 the support of this so we. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.839 Won't cost the taxpayers a dime, not a penny exactly. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:22.880 And so I don't understand what the issue is there. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.840 But going back to what happened on Saturday. I found 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:32.560 it quite alarming, obviously. But on a similar note, my 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.800 sister recently went to the Easter egg hunt at the 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.640 White House on the White House Salon. In the first 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.960 comment she said to me when she got back to Austin, 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.960 Texas was wow. I was surprised that I was never 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.560 asked for my identification. I didn't have to provide it 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.720 before I went. She was absolutely flabergases. She went through 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.320 a magnutometer when they got on site, but that was 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.760 pretty much it. But I do appreciate and respect that 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.560 this is a constantly evolving situation and they are going 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.320 to improve things. And I have no doubt that in 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.800 these meetings they're going to continue to improve things. I 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.880 obviously was not in the Secret a Service, but having 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.599 worked with them and talked to Secret Service agents, we're 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.680 in a different environment now. It is a different threat 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.120 and we've got to step up the game across the 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.040 federal government and the FBI to Secret Service VHS because 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.480 we've got elevated threat levels that we have never seen before. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.320 But yet some of our systems are quite antiquated, and 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.440 our protective models are sometimes antiquated. And to step it 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.840 up to meet the demands and use the technology that 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.120 we have at our fingertips. Now, I think that's something 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.919 that they will absolutely be looking at. The protective model. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.800 I think even the FBI is going to be looking 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.400 at things, things with AI, things that we can do 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.640 on researching and getting things up to speed so that 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.039 we can be ready and prepared and not have something 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.680 like this ever occur again. But Sean, you and I 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:55.320 know these people are evil, They have no moral conscience, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.960 and this will continue to happen evil if not going away. 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.359 We just have to be on a game to stop 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.440 it and to protect Americans and particularly to protect the 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.680 President of the United States. But again, this is not 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.360 just a secret service problem. This is a law enforcement 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:10.479 problem across the board. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:12.520 Let me go to you, Gary, and let me go 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.880 back to the three examples we have, and I believe 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.320 there's one common theme. If you look at Butler, there's 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.640 no justification for somebody getting within one hundred and thirty yards, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.760 getting on a ladder, getting on top of a roof, 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.200 setting up and taking a shot at Donald Trump. That 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.880 tells me that the area was not secure, it wasn't 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:35.080 swept properly, and the proper perimeter was not set up 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.680 because you can, a good shot could hit a target 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.760 from fifteen hundred yards away, never mind one hundred and 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.880 thirty yards away. So then you look at Trump International, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.800 I mean the holes where the president was coming up 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.640 to and if it wasn't for one sharp eyed Secret 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.360 Service agent that just happened to catch a glimpse of 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.680 somebody in the trees, those treed areas are known for 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.200 where paparazzi stalk Donald Trump and have stalked him for 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.920 years to get video or pictures. It was never swept, 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.720 never mind secured, and never mind the perimeter set around. 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.920 Once it's secured, nobody should be able to go up 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.920 or down that street without being watched the entire time. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.160 In this case, too, the perimeter was set up way 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.080 too close to the event. They never swept the entire hotel. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.600 They didn't secure the area in the hotel. The idea 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.560 that you have people that would be able to get 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.480 a room in the hotel and walk down with a 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.600 gun and then you know, walk right up to the 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.880 perimeter fifty yards away from the room where many people 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.680 could have been slaughtered, is insane to me. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.920 Yeah, you're one hundred percent right, Sean. And like I 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.480 said before, it's one of the reasons I wrote secrets 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.360 to the Secret Service. What happened on Saturday and night 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.720 there should have been and I've been, I've been to 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.480 the Indian you know, inside the Secret Service, we refer 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.480 to it as the Ankley Hotel because that's where Reagan 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.800 was almost assassinated. And so the hotel actually built an 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.320 underground garage so you can bring the president. And then 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.800 after the Reagan attempted assassination, the hotel always cooperates with you. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.080 When I used to go there and do these events, 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.360 different events, every the whatever floor we were on, there 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.520 was an agent and an officer in every stairwell, at 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.480 the top and the bottom of every stairwell. And they 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.320 clearly dropped the ball. And if you also looked at 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.320 the video where the agents standing there just before the 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.920 man charges, typically there be four or five metal detectors. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.160 Why there wasn't, I don't know. But and after you 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.520 put up those four or five metal detectors across, you 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.760 take those big boxes that they come in, then you 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.440 use them as a barrier. They had nothing to stop 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.079 anybody from charging. They didn't try to stop anybody from 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.040 charging until he ran past. And we also still don't 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.280 know what the ballistics are the UD officer that got 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.839 hit in the vest, who fired that round. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:56.360 We don't know. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.440 I did have one person wonder outline out in the 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.280 Secret Service privately to me. They were wondering if it 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.240 might be friendly fired. That would be scary. We don't 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.439 know if this guy fired that shot. We haven't got 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.520 That's the one question we haven't gotten an answer to. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.680 All right, quick break right back, more with Nicole Parker 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.559 and Gary Byrne on the other side than your calls 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.640 this Monday or next eight hundred and ninety four one 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.319 seawn our number if you want to be a part 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:21.960 of the program. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.600 Right, we continue with Nicole Parker. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:29.040 And Gary Byrne examining you know yet what is obviously 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.200 another failure in terms of the lead up. 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:32.680 I mean, the. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.280 Agents in the moment are phenomenal, but in terms of the. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.280 Lead up to now the third assassination attempt against President Trump, 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.360 that things have to change, and they can't change fast enough. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.199 Let me give you a comparison. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.920 It was a couple of trips ago when the Prime 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:56.960 Minister of Israel happened to be visiting Donald Trump. I 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.240 ended up spending two hours with the Prime Minister and 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.240 I interviewed him and I just spent a lot of time. Now, 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:09.199 before you could even get your car into the hotel 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.320 area parking lot, there had to be eighty agents that 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.920 you had to go through, and the entire perimeter of 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.200 the hotel on the outside was covered. The entire thing. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.280 It was an exhaustive search. Open your hood, open your trunk, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.800 get out of the car. They swept me there, they 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.320 used they wanted me. I had to go through a 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.839 mag and then I get inside the hotel and I'm 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:38.040 actually met by a representative of the Prime Minister. I 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.760 go through the same process again, another mag and then 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.319 I get to the elevator and I'm stopped by agents 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.280 at this particular elevator that was in the main lobby. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.400 Then I get up to a floor, not the floor. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.560 I get up to a floor. Then there's all these 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.760 guys with I would imagine Oozzi's but machine guns, you know, 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.920 airing at me. And then I have to check in 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:08.440 and hand over my phone. And then I am escorted 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:13.080 by armed people into a stairwell that is packed with 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.760 guys with Uzzi's at them up to a suite where 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:22.640 the Prime Minister happened to be multiple, multiple multiple layers. 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.079 That didn't happen here, that didn't happen at Trump International, 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.640 and it didn't happen in Butler, and then not securing 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.200 a large enough perimeter. Now, when I met Musharaff years 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.640 ago in a New York hotel, he was here for 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.960 the United Nations to interview him. When I when I 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.040 interviewed General l Ceci of Egypt, the Saint, the amount 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.960 of security and a number of guns in my face, 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.640 it's breathtaking, and that's not happening here. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.319 Yeah, So what you're discussing is the security they do 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.600 for certain foreign dignitaries, and the problem is is they're 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.560 not doing it for our own president. And it comes 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.000 back to what I've talked about before. They treat their 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:07.520 employees like crap. They leave. They have this massive hiring 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.120 they're showing. They're given bonuses to join the Uniform Division 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.320 that are worth three times my starting salary in nineteen 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.640 ninety one, just a bonus to get them to come 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.120 on to the job. They have destroyed the morale of 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.760 the Secret Service, and they don't do anything to fix it. Now, 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.560 I'm not bashing the new director. He got handed a 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.840 crap sandwich and he's trying to figure out how to 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.040 eat it. But there's so many things that need to 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.400 be fixed inside that agency, and one of them is 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.320 is that they're so over worked. They're exhausted. And every 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.360 time I say that to somebody who should listen, like 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.480 a politician or something, they rolled the rives at me 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.280 because they've never worked a job. Now, Nicole understands this. 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.040 Twelve fourteen hours a day, the next day, twenty hours 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.080 a day. The next day is supposed to be off 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.400 three o'clock in the morning, the phone rangks you're back 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.160 at work at the end of the day out. You 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.680 can't work people to death, and they do well. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.040 And that's another problem. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.440 And the FBI has the same problem, Nicole, and that 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.400 is they have a shortage. Just like you know the FAA, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.680 they all have you know, one thy fifteen hundred agents down. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.880 They will hand it to Adam Schiff Sandwich by the 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:15.319 by the Biden administration. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.440 That's exactly right. And I'd like to echo that because 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.000 again speaking to secret Service agents, their hours are longer 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.960 than FBI. Okay, working violent crime in the FBI. Yeah, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.439 I worked the longest hours of anyone in the FBI 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.480 because we were pretty much working twenty four to seven 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.240 because crime never stops in Miami. But the Secret Service 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.320 agents are expected to be on point zero fail mission 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.680 around the clock, working these extensively long shifts. Sean, they're spread, 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.199 then they're tired. It destroys many of their families lives. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.440 They don't get to see their children. They're on airplanes, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.280 they're going all around the world. They're standing at point 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.439 you can never ever make a mistake. And so again 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.120 I agree that they have really destroyed morale writ the 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.000 Secret Service, based on my understanding, and people are exhausted, 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.679 and they've just been spread way too thin. And I 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.160 cannot have this conversation without saying the DEI hires not 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.720 just at the Secret Service, but at the FBI and 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.640 all of the law enforcement agencies that have come into 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:17.080 these departments starting with Obama era, have been catastrophic. Okay, 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.920 And I, as a woman, will proudly tell you I 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.960 was qualified to get my job. But when you put 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.280 people who are not qualified, you're allowing them to get 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.920 through programs, get through firearms, get through things, that they 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.120 are not eligible to even get passed the physical fitness 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.440 failure rate at the FBI. I hear about this all 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.320 of the time. They can't even pass what we call 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.200 the PFT shank. Yeah, a very basic physical fitness test. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.080 If you're not hiring the brightest and the best, there's 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.800 going to be problems. But yet they feel this pressure. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.640 We've got to increase the hiring because we are so 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:52.200 spread thin. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.920 Well, I got to tell you, we'll get into this 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.960 more as time goes on. And I know you're joining 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.560 us on TV today, but this, this is preventable. And 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.040 if three instances now don't wake us up, I don't 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.240 know what will wake us up. Appreciate both of you. 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.280 Thank you so much for joining us. Noicle Parker and 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.840 Gary Byrne eight hundred and nine four one show is 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:14.960 on number. If you want to be a part of 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.200 the program, we'll get to your calls coming up here 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:22.000 in mere moments. All right, let me play President Trump 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.840 from Saturday Night, responding to questions. You know, I guess 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.960 what can be going through your mind when something like 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.200 this happens now for a third time, Here's what he 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:33.720 said in that moment. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.520 When you realize there was a threat in service agent. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.280 We're telling us to get down. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.480 Can you describe what was going through your mind, how 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:44.840 you were feeling in that moment. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.240 It's very good question. Actually, it was always shocking when 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.400 something like this happens. Happened to me a little bit, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:58.600 and that never changes the fact we're sitting right next 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.880 to each other. First, Lady, am I right? And I 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.880 heard a noise and sort of thought it was a trey. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.600 I thought it was a tray going down. I've heard 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.680 that many times, and it was pretty loud noise, and 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.720 it was from quite far away. He hadn't reached the 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.080 area at all. They really got him, but so it 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.000 was quite far away. But it was a gun, and 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:26.080 some people really understood that pretty quickly. Other people didn't. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.000 I was watching to see what was happening. Probably should 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.080 have gotten down even faster. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.560 And by the way, I'm just going to add this too, 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.560 because Caroline Levitt at our press conference today calling out 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:43.360 Democrats by name and the rhetoric they had leading into 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:47.240 Saturday's attempt on President Trump's life. Nick sort of put 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.480 this up on his ex account. Good for a Nick, 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:50.560 Let's play that. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:55.080 The entire Democrat Party has made their hitch to voters 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.040 across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.960 to democracy, that he is a fat and that they 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.960 compare him to Hitler. I mean, these are despicable statements 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.000 that the American people have been consuming for years, and 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.680 so many mentally perturbed individuals are led to believe these 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.679 words are truth and then are inspired to act on it. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.600 I have a whole host of examples that we can 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.520 share with you after it is pages and pages of 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:24.760 major Democrat Party elected officials saying such as Reprakeem Jeffrey 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.439 Is just this April this month said we are in 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:31.600 an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time. Governor 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.760 Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll within the administration. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.600 A Senator Alex Paedia said people are quote dying because 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.240 of fear and terror caused by the Trump administration. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:43.280 Governor J. B. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.800 Pritzker, never before in my life have I called for 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:50.320 mass protest disruptions. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.639 These are Democrat elected officials calling for war against the 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.880 President of the United States and his supporters. I could 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.000 go on and on, but again, when you have people 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.960 in positions of power that are saying things like this 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.040 every single day for years. You are inspiring violence by 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.600 people who are already mentally ill. And that's what we've 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.400 seen against this president for far too long. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.840 All right, let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:15.359 and nine four one, Sewan. If you want to be 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:19.280 a part of the program. Uh, let us say hi 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.280 to John and Oklahoma. John, Hi, how are you glad 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:23.160 you called. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.480 Sean and doing great? Longtime listener watch the show every night, 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.879 multi time color and I want to thank you for 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:32.000 your service to this country. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.800 Well, thank you, my friend. I appreciate it. What's going on? 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.040 Yeah, so I'm very disturbed. Obviously we don't have much 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.680 talk about from the weekend, but you know, in light 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.639 of the third attempt on President Trump, you know, the 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:49.719 Democrats have been have been stoking this violence to local violence, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.479 blood in the streets. And I'm gonna be honest, I'm 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.080 with lynd on this. I don't think you should have 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.959 this piker dude on your podcast. There was some right 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:04.159 rem extremists that you uh that you know, you might 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.360 want to interview people will go banana. 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.159 So well, I want to stay on the line and 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.280 I want you to say hi to Kathleen and Nevada. Kathleen, 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.080 you're on with John and Oklahoma. You're calling about the 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.240 same issue, and uh, I've actually thought about it, and 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.399 I'm going to tell you what I've concluded on the 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.639 other end of this. Kathleen, you take a different spot 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:25.840 on this. 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.280 Well, I am a Democrat and I listened to your 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.679 show back in the day, decades ago. I was a 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:37.399 caller on Rush, you know, back back in those days. 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.879 Because we need to talk to each other. This is 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.639 the problem. You are talking to your choir. My people 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.520 are talking to their choir. We don't talk enough and 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:54.040 listen to each other. We need to take down the 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:59.080 bitterall And let me tell you stop blaming quote the Democrats. 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.320 It's on both side. Is on both sides, and we 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.920 as Americans need to Can. 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.160 I challenge that, Kathleen, Give me an example of Republicans 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:20.280 calling Democrats Nazis, gestapo fascist, racist, misogynist, homophobes, xenophobe, islamophobe, 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.040 Republicans want dirty air and water, Republicans want grandma and 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:28.280 grandpa to die. Give me examples of Republicans saying that stuff. 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:32.920 Okay, So when you say the Republicans, you are treating 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.879 them as a united front. Your party is fractured, all right. 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.080 Give me the names of people that are saying this stuff. 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:44.879 And there are people that identify as conservative that I 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.040 think are jackasses that say the dumbest stuff I've ever heard. 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.640 Yeah, and so I'm a private person. I'm not talking 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.960 about the Politicans here. I'm talking about me when I 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.760 sit me down at Thanksgiving. And I have my family 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.159 that both for Trump, and I still love my family 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:01.400 because we are Americans. 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.920 First. Okay, this is going down to person to person 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:11.560 that it is happening. I have Republican friends that don't 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:15.359
