Today on the Matt Wall Show, only a few days after the extreme incompetence of the Secret Service, or something more sinister than that, nearly got Donald Trump killed, the Secret Service is focused on what really matters, mean comments about their female agents.
00:00:11.960
The agency isn't trying to figure out how and why they failed to prevent an assassination attempt. Instead, they're busy valiantly defending their own diversity initiatives.
00:00:19.300
Also, J.D. Vance delivers his speech at the Republican Convention. We'll play one important moment from that speech.
00:00:23.780
And now hosts on MSNBC are floating the idea that Trump staged the shooting himself, in spite of how incoherent that theory is.
00:00:31.280
And the calls for Biden to step down have reached a fever pitch. I will do something unexpected today and make the case that Biden should stay in this race.
00:00:39.000
I am riding with Biden. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:53.780

The Secret Service has finally come out and explained in detail how they allowed Donald Trump to get shot in the head on Saturday.
00:02:23.100
They've released a thorough explanation for why exactly the slope of the roof 140 yards away from the stage was, in fact, insurmountable for even the most skilled Secret Service sniper or special agent.
00:02:33.360
They articulated very clearly why they didn't pull Donald Trump off the stage, even after they saw the shooter behaving suspiciously, equipped with a range finder, before they somehow lost track of him several times over.
00:02:45.320
It's now abundantly clear exactly why the DHS secretary says that he has 100% confidence in the director of the Secret Service, even after all of this happened.
00:02:57.620
Actually, they still haven't explained any of that.
00:03:00.120
But on the bright side, the Secret Service did come out and address the most important issues surrounding Saturday's assassination attempt by far.
00:03:06.540
And that issue is that people have been very mean to the Secret Service on the Internet.
00:03:11.560
People have even put out tweets that are critical of the fact that the Secret Service had female agents, quote unquote, protecting Donald Trump, despite the fact that they weren't tall enough to cover his head.
00:03:26.740
I mean, it's one thing for a guy to shoot a presidential candidate on live television, but for people to say rude things on social media?
00:03:35.420
And that's why the Secret Service just sent a statement to NBC News explaining, quote,
00:04:09.440
Yes, this is the priority of the Secret Service, just three days after they allowed the leading presidential candidate to get shot in the head during a political rally that they were in charge of securing.
00:04:20.860
This is what they're concerned about, the feelings of their female agents.
00:04:25.400
They're not appalled by their unprecedented security failures, which very nearly changed the course of U.S. history.
00:04:33.080
They're not appalled by their completely incoherent excuses about a sloped roof and a lack of manpower.
00:04:38.660
They're not appalled by the total destruction of the Secret Service's reputation as a competent federal agency.
00:04:46.780
What really bothers them are mean tweets about their female agents.
00:04:53.840
First of all, every criticism of the female agents on Trump's security detail is accurate.
00:05:01.820
On the day of the assassination attempt, as I've covered before, one female agent cowered behind the pile of agents protecting Trump.
00:05:10.740
Another female agent clearly struggled to cover Trump's head as he stood up because she wasn't tall enough.
00:05:18.040
But the female agent clearly can't cover Trump's face, even if she wanted to.
00:05:23.780
And then, of course, as the SUV carrying Trump pulled away, the female agents had trouble holstering their weapons.
00:05:35.060
None of them appeared to have any idea what they were supposed to do.
00:05:37.500
It was like they were cosplaying Secret Service agents.
00:05:40.160
It looked like they had been pulled off the street that morning and recruited into Trump's security detail without any prior training at all.
00:05:47.160
Now, I've shown all this footage before, but it bears repeating because the Secret Service is now pretending that none of this is an issue.
00:05:55.120
They're saying that you are a bigot if you notice the problem.
00:06:01.420
They know that female agents aren't as effective.
00:06:03.720
That's why when Trump appeared at the RNC in his first public appearance after the shooting,
00:06:07.480
he was surrounded by men who were actually tall enough and strong enough to protect him.
00:06:13.320
There were no short females in his detail anymore or any females at all because they understand that women can't do the job as well as men, period.
00:06:22.520
But the Secret Service is choosing to use the shield of identity politics anyway because, as always, it helps distract from their own failures and their own mediocrity.
00:06:30.580
This is always the reason that identity politics is deployed, especially by government agencies, and this is no exception.
00:06:39.260
They would rather accuse their critics of hating women instead of reckoning with their own incompetence,
00:06:44.860
which appears more and more to be willful and malicious with each passing day.
00:06:50.600
And the corporate press, of course, is doing the Fed's bidding.
00:06:55.120
Secret Service target of misogynistic backlash after Donald Trump assassination attempt.
00:07:02.340
The rush by conservatives to pin blame for the shooting on women in the protective detail reflects a broader opposition among Republicans to diversity efforts in hiring.
00:07:13.280
Right-wing influencers used Trump assassination attempt to attack DEI.
00:07:17.240
Well, you know, I thought that a former president getting shot was pretty bad.
00:07:23.380
But if it leads to attacks on DEI, then it's way worse than I thought.
00:07:28.320
Now, the Post did single me out in their article with this paragraph, quote,
00:07:33.120
Far-right influencer Matt Walsh posted a video featuring female Secret Service agents gathering around Trump after the attack with the caption,
00:07:40.460
There should not be any women in the Secret Service.
00:07:42.260
These are supposed to be the very best, and none of the very best at this job are women.
00:07:47.240
According to the Post, which cited experts, experts in what?
00:07:54.380
These experts say that tweets like mine are an attempt to, quote,
00:08:00.440
They also say that I'm trying to, quote, undermine DEI.
00:08:06.820
What's interesting about these attacks is that, of course, they're commenting on my motivations.
00:08:12.160
They're pretending they can read my mind and that they've determined that my outrage,
00:08:17.320
Outrage over a presidential candidate getting shot can't possibly be genuine.
00:08:23.300
They're not actually addressing what I said because they know that I'm right.
00:08:26.720
They know that all of us raising this concern are right.
00:08:28.660
Here's what none of these articles and valiant defenses of the female agents have done, or can do.
00:08:35.800
Actually defend the proposition that Trump was safer with females in his security detail
00:08:45.640
Now, to be clear, I'm not suggesting that if one woman agent on stage had been replaced by a male agent,
00:08:55.520
I'm not saying that more men would have definitely prevented this from happening,
00:09:02.360
I'm saying that these female agents constitute an obvious security vulnerability,
00:09:08.820
And because the Secret Service put them out there on the stage on Saturday,
00:09:12.340
it raises obvious questions about their ability to competently protect Donald Trump or anyone else.
00:09:18.280
I'm not going to just ignore a glaring sign of incompetence that's front and center on live television.
00:09:24.400
If there is glaring incompetence, if it even is incompetence, by the way,
00:09:31.920
but if there's glaring incompetence to that degree,
00:09:34.760
there's glaring incompetence at every other layer of the agency, too.
00:09:41.300
And the Secret Service has done absolutely nothing to dispel that assumption in the days since the shooting.
00:09:47.700
The fact that they are going out of their way to recruit women in the name of diversity
00:09:54.780
It only makes them less capable of doing the job they're supposed to do.
00:09:59.340
But even more to the point, it means they are fundamentally focused on the wrong things.
00:10:05.440
Consider, for example, what the director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheadle, has been saying since Saturday.
00:10:10.140
She's best known for her promise that 30% of the Secret Service's workforce would be female by 2030.
00:10:16.880
At first, she came out and said that the roof was too sloped for agents to stand on top of,
00:10:24.800
And by the way, she's really not helping her case for including women in the agency when she says stuff like that.
00:10:29.640
Like, looking up at a roof and deciding that you can't put snipers on it because it's slightly sloped and somebody might slip
00:10:39.320
Hey, you boys, come down from there and put those guns away.
00:10:44.100
Then in an interview yesterday, Cheadle defended the security plan that left the roof completely exposed.
00:10:48.760
She also refused to explain how exactly the agency had supposedly beefed up security
00:10:53.760
after an alleged threat against Trump from Iran.
00:11:00.020
The perimeter encompassed the area that we needed to secure for the event that we had on that day.
00:11:06.660
What happened is a terrible incident and should never happen.
00:11:10.020
And we are obviously going to make sure that moving forward,
00:11:12.600
we take whatever lessons that come out of this and adjust accordingly.
00:11:16.080
Was every element, every part of his, from the intelligence to the counter assault team,
00:11:21.880
to the detail agents, the shift agents, I mean every element top to bottom of the advance in the operation,
00:11:27.160
was every element increased after you learned of this credible threat?
00:11:30.840
What we increased was what we felt was appropriate for the former president and for that particular event on that day.
00:11:37.660
We have been increasing the assets and the resources and the staffing that we have been providing
00:11:42.360
to the former president since he was a presidential candidate and then the presumptive nominee.
00:11:51.640
I'm saying that we have continued to increase the resources that we've been providing to the former president.
00:11:56.580
The perimeter encompassed the area that we needed to secure for the event that we had on that day.
00:12:02.620
That's her response when she's asked why the secure perimeter didn't include a building directly across from Trump.
00:12:07.620
But obviously the perimeter didn't encompass the area they needed to secure because a gunman managed to climb on the roof
00:12:14.820
and fire several shots without anyone stopping him.
00:12:18.720
Then she goes on to completely fail to explain how the agency supposedly stepped up its security following this supposed Iranian threat.
00:12:26.200
And that's probably because security was not stepped up in any way.
00:12:30.160
But for a moment, let's give this woman the benefit of the doubt, which she obviously doesn't deserve.
00:12:36.380
But let's pretend that the security was indeed stepped up to the max.
00:12:41.800
And let's recap how exactly this stepped up security failed since the details get crazier with each passing hour.
00:12:50.680
So now we're learning that the shooter was at the rally a full three hours before he shot Trump.
00:12:58.580
He was at the rally and on the radar of the security team three hours ahead of time.
00:13:03.720
And then at 5.10 p.m., authorities identified him as a person of interest.
00:13:10.900
At 5.30 p.m., he was spotted again with a rangefinder.
00:13:14.840
He was then observed, quote, furiously checking his phone and operating the rangefinder, according to the Daily Mail.
00:13:20.620
The Secret Service noticed this and kept an eye on him.
00:13:23.460
But apparently they lost track of where he was and multiple times, in fact, through this whole process.
00:13:29.540
They kept they kept seeing him and said, this guy's weird.
00:13:32.580
And then and then he would leave and they would lose track of him.
00:13:34.780
And then they'd see him again, lose track of him again.
00:13:37.140
And then the shooter was caught on film an hour before the assassination attempt,
00:13:40.940
casing the building that he would later climb to shoot Trump.
00:13:43.760
So you can see the guy's clearly by himself, acting strangely as he cases the building.
00:13:59.940
And then 40 minutes before the shooting, law enforcement spotted the shooter appearing to crawl on the ground while scouring the area.
00:14:07.440
This was suspicious enough that they took a photograph.
00:14:12.200
They circulated the photograph, tagging him as a suspicious person.
00:14:21.940
The Secret Service also listen to this part, because I think this is the newest detail that is just mind boggling.
00:14:29.700
The Secret Service saw the gunman on the rooftop at 5.52 p.m.
00:14:46.400
20 minutes passed between the time U.S. Secret Service snipers first spotted the gunman on a rooftop
00:14:51.320
and the time shots were fired at the former president.
00:14:55.460
So to reiterate here, this is a suspicious person who's already been identified as a person of interest
00:15:02.240
with a rangefinder who is on top of a roof looking down directly at the stage where Donald Trump is about to speak.
00:15:11.340
And still they didn't secure the roof or delay the rally.
00:15:14.720
Like, even if you ignore the three hours prior to this,
00:15:18.800
when they could have detained the shooter, you know, on dozens of different occasions,
00:15:23.520
you know, they had three hours to detain him and they didn't.
00:15:28.420
Well, even if you pretend none of that happened,
00:15:31.460
they still had 20 minutes when he was on the roof and they did nothing.
00:15:38.520
In fact, this guy who'd already been identified as a person of interest, again,
00:15:44.100
was on the roof 10 minutes before Trump even took the stage.
00:15:48.440
So at a minimum, it would have taken them no effort at all and there would have been no risk involved.
00:15:55.040
Quite the opposite, it's a mitigation of risk if they had just delayed Trump coming out until they investigated.
00:16:00.400
They could have at least said, hmm, there's a guy on the roof.
00:16:05.500
Where, hey, let's keep the former president from taking the stage while we go over and check this thing out.
00:16:14.620
Then shortly before the shooting started, people in the crowd saw the man on the roof.
00:16:21.040
The crowd began calling to police officers nearby.
00:16:23.980
Now we're learning exactly when that happened in the chronology of events that day.
00:16:30.180
the shots began 86 seconds after the first audible attempts to alert police, according to the analysis.
00:16:35.500
Which synchronized several clips based on the sound of Trump's voice over the public address system.
00:16:42.280
The shots began 86 seconds after the first audible attempts to alert police.
00:16:47.480
All that needed to happen in those 86 seconds was for the officer to get on the radio
00:16:52.180
and say there's a suspicious person on the roof, get Trump off the stage.
00:16:56.120
Or he could have directed the counter snipers to look for the person and identify the specific roof.
00:17:06.320
No one stopped the shooter until Trump was shot first.
00:17:08.600
The only explanation for these events, outside of the possibility that the Secret Service deliberately intended for Trump to get shot,
00:17:17.100
which is not by any means a crazy thing to believe,
00:17:20.740
outside of that, the only other explanation is incompetence of a staggering historic degree.
00:17:27.420
The only conceivable way this assassination attempt happens, excluding malice,
00:17:33.580
is if people who have no idea what they're doing, who were not chosen based on merit,
00:17:46.560
the dramatically lowered physical fitness standards for women,
00:17:50.120
the hiring quotas, the special push for more LGBTQ agents, and so on,
00:17:56.280
the Secret Service has made it abundantly clear that it doesn't care about merit.
00:18:01.420
Instead, the agency cares about politics and appearances.
00:18:08.500
That's the reason they're appalled by mean tweets like mine.
00:18:12.560
And it's the reason Donald Trump was just shot in the face.
00:18:15.540
And why U.S. history very nearly changed forever.
00:18:27.360
My days are incredibly full between the show, being a dad, and various other responsibilities.
00:18:31.820
I can't keep up with my day if I don't get a good night's sleep,
00:18:37.020

at your own home, and that's why they offer a 100-night trial and a 10- to 15-year warranty.

00:19:21.560
This is their best offer yet, and it won't last long.
00:19:31.240
And by the way, let me just say, because I've been asked this a bunch of times, actually.
00:19:38.120
I'm not there only because I'm at the lake with my family this month.
00:19:42.120
And if the convention was any other month, I'd be there.
00:19:46.840
And also, my kids would, you know, murder me if I said I was leaving to go to a political convention this week.
00:19:53.240
Maybe not murder me, but they'd be really sad, and I'd feel guilty.
00:19:58.020
But anyway, the convention continues, and even without my presence somehow.
00:20:02.260
J.D. Vance spoke last night, and I want to play—I thought it was a good speech.
00:20:06.760
I want to play one clip in particular from that speech that I thought was pretty important.
00:20:15.200
Now, that's Kentucky coal country, one of the ten—
00:20:18.280
Now, it's one of the ten poorest counties in the entire United States of America.
00:20:31.400
They're very hardworking people, and they're very good people.
00:20:34.900
They're the kind of people who would give you the shirt off their back even if they can't afford enough to eat.
00:20:39.820
And our media calls them privileged and looks down on them.
00:20:43.420
But they love this country not only because it's a good idea,
00:20:48.380
but because in their bones they know that this is their home,
00:20:52.720
and it will be their children's home, and they would die fighting to protect it.
00:21:12.520
As a United States senator, I get to represent millions of people in the great state of Ohio with similar stories,
00:21:19.600
Now, in that cemetery, there are people who were born around the time of the Civil War.
00:21:25.120
And if, as I hope, my wife and I are eventually laid to rest there,
00:21:30.880
there will be seven generations just in that small mountain cemetery plot in eastern Kentucky.
00:21:36.200
Seven generations of people who have fought for this country,
00:21:42.920
and who would fight and die to protect this country if they were asked to.
00:22:00.320
Even though the ideas and the principles are great,
00:22:10.260
and this section of the speech was four or five minutes.
00:22:13.000
It's worth going and watching the whole thing if you didn't see it.
00:22:16.040
His point, as you heard, is that America is not just an idea,
00:22:29.660
and we should love and cherish it for that reason,
00:22:32.080
and our leaders should put America first for that reason.
00:22:43.020
and it's the kind of simple but important point
00:22:51.160
You don't hear it from Republicans very often, either.
00:22:55.400
But there's a certain power just in that statement alone.
00:23:24.660
There should be nothing surprising about a politician saying that.
00:23:32.080
But that's not the case in modern American culture.
00:23:39.500
there's this idea that's been ingrained in so many people
00:23:43.980
that America is not really anyone in particular's home.
00:26:03.420
here are people that we could pass the torch to.
00:26:07.060
we talked about the left-wing conspiracy theory
00:26:42.120
even though this man is still a Secret Service protected,
00:46:09.620
so they want the kid to go away and be occupied by something else and um
00:46:16.220
you know why even have kids if that's the case if you have no desire to actually raise a child
00:46:25.120
then then why do you have kids to begin with good question um fortunately there's this movement in
00:46:32.240
the opposite direction too and uh it it's it's a movement that uh every parent should be a part of
00:46:42.280
and we you know there's a there's a gray area here i'll admit that it's um
00:46:48.520
you're probably not going to bring your child all the way into adulthood without without them ever
00:46:57.240
owning a smartphone certainly they're going to own a phone of some kind before then
00:47:01.940
and uh it is true that you want to the the difficulty here is that you want to introduce
00:47:08.640
them if you don't introduce them to this technology then they'll be introduced to it
00:47:15.020
on their own out in the world and you'd rather introduce it yourself
00:47:18.220
to maybe help them to help train them to have good habits related to this technology
00:47:23.420
um and so you can have some discussion about when is best to start that process but six years old
00:47:31.180

00:49:38.140
you know there are some people who might consider me to be slightly right of center in my politics
00:49:48.540
i admit that but even so today in the name of bipartisanship a value that as you know i hold near and
00:49:56.560
dear to my heart i feel called to defend president joe biden unlike so many others i think joe biden
00:50:04.060
should stay in this race he should soldier on and i want to explain why now as you probably noticed
00:50:10.100
this has been an incredibly bad week for biden which is a change of pace from last week which
00:50:14.900
was extremely bad for biden and that of course was a major shift from the week before which was
00:50:18.740
stupendously bad it's been different flavors of bad for quite some time and this week biden tried to
00:50:24.280
turn things around with a few public appearances and interviews but it didn't help much because according
00:50:28.260
to many of his critics he performed poorly mostly due to his inability to say you know words on
00:50:34.260
wednesday high-ranking democrat adam schiff joined the chorus calling for biden to drop out of the
00:50:39.260
race on the same day according to a report by abc senate majority leader chuck schumer also privately
00:50:43.680
urged biden to step aside this comes in the same week when a major poll finds that half of democrat
00:50:48.960
voters don't believe that biden is mentally fit to be president and then with the other half only half
00:50:54.300
of them are extremely confident in his mental fitness the other the other half of that half are
00:50:58.960
only somewhat confident so to them he might be mentally fit or he might have the sentience of a
00:51:04.500
sea sponge they aren't sure to make matters worse last night it was announced that biden is now
00:51:09.540
suffering through his 97th bout with covid he i guess skipped his weekly booster shot again this is what
00:51:16.500
happens coincidentally enough the covid announcement comes just hours after an interview was released where
00:51:21.140
biden conceded for the first time that the only thing that would make him drop out of the race is
00:51:25.180
a medical condition will this be the medical condition that does it some are speculating there's
00:51:30.880
no question that it's a serious medical crisis covid can after all make you very sniffly it leads to many
00:51:37.900
many sniffles i had some sniffles a few weeks ago myself and i don't know if it was covid because i
00:51:43.300
didn't take a test because it's the year 2024 but the sniffles were bad it was it was almost as bad as
00:51:49.100
being nearly assassinated in fact and they made that exact point on msnbc last night watch
00:51:53.440
here's the question that i have on that these two men are both elderly donald trump is an elderly man
00:52:00.320
who for whatever reason was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op during an active shooter
00:52:06.860
situation weird situation we'll figure that out one day um but his survival of that and and bouncing
00:52:14.100
right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of
00:52:18.840
strength this uh current president of the united states is 81 years old and has covid should he be
00:52:26.600
fine in a couple of days doesn't that convey exactly the same thing that he's strong enough older than
00:52:32.720
trump to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age so if he does fine out of
00:52:40.200
it and comes back and is able to do rallies isn't that exactly the same it's i mean it's not exactly
00:52:45.420
the same it's not same incident but it's all it's an elderly man coming through out of an it should
00:52:50.740
well they're right you know getting a cold is exactly the same as getting shot in the head
00:52:55.720
it's no different i mean i make this point to my wife every time i get a cold i've basically been
00:53:00.900
shot for all intents and purposes this cold is the same thing as getting shot is what i say to my wife
00:53:05.220
and she always says stop being a wimp you're exaggerating and i say well that's a really
00:53:08.580
insensitive thing to say to someone who's just been shot anyway the point is this all of the people
00:53:14.760
telling joe biden to drop out of the race are wrong many conservatives on my side of the aisle
00:53:19.880
also claim that biden is unfit and should step down but i really think that you all should stop saying
00:53:26.540
that seriously stop saying that can you please stop what are you doing i for one believe that biden
00:53:35.980
needs to keep running and take this thing all the way to november i am rooting for biden to conquer
00:53:40.740
covid once again as he has thousands of times in the past and stay in this race no matter what don't
00:53:47.100
drop out don't pass the torch to anyone stay in joe i believe in you now listen joe all these people
00:53:54.200
telling you to drop out they're all a bunch of elitists they've always looked down on working
00:53:58.140
class guys like you normal everyday americans like you who've held national political office since
00:54:03.220
the 1870s they've always doubted you joe don't listen to them it's it's ageism is what it is
00:54:09.840
they say you're too old to be president please i mean my great uncle fred was sharp as a tack until
00:54:15.700
he was 94 he walked around on his own fastened his velcro shoes by himself he was a great parcheesi
00:54:21.920
player even into his 90s so why can't you still be president the people are with you joe they believe
00:54:28.820
in you they're excited about you i hear it all the time every time i go out in public i hear people
00:54:33.980
buzzing about biden just yesterday i was having a conversation with my mailman and he looked at me
00:54:39.120
and said old joe is a fighter we'll never force him out of the race and i nodded my head and said oh
00:54:44.760
you mean fighting joe ain't no man pushing him around that's when a guy walking by stopped and said
00:54:50.580
are you guys talking about joe bulldog biden man oh man that guy's something else i sure hope he stays
00:54:56.880
in the race for the sake of democracy and just then someone driving past stopped their car they
00:55:01.360
hopped out and said hey are you folks chatting about scranton joe from scranton pennsylvania
00:55:06.340
gee whiz that old dog knows how to get things done and then we all laughed and gave each other high
00:55:12.080
fives that's a real thing that happened in real life and that's what this is all about joe biden needs
00:55:17.780
to stay in the race to protect democracy he's the only one who can do it because he's the only one who
00:55:23.320
can beat trump forget what literally every poll says the polls are ageist too of course they're
00:55:30.860
bigoted against the 81 year old in favor of the 78 year old joe you can beat trump and you must
00:55:38.620
because we all know that if people democratically elect trump it will be an assault on democratic
00:55:44.340
elections if anyone but you wins joe it's the death of democracy you know that i know that
00:55:51.940
and that's all that matters don't give up now joe stay in keep going keep running why give up when
00:55:59.360
you're so close to the finish line sure you're not as young and spry as you used to be but
00:56:03.740
it doesn't matter remember slow and steady wins the race and that's you maybe not steady but you know
00:56:13.500
the first part anyway slow slow wins the race don't listen to the critics stay on course
00:56:22.260
unless kamala harris would really replace you on the ticket in which case yeah you should step aside
00:56:28.140
don't be racist but if you'd be replaced by anyone else anyone who can like speak and think then you
00:56:36.800
should stay exactly where you are i believe in you most importantly you believe in yourself
00:56:43.120
and that's all that matters which is why all the people calling for joe biden to drop out of the
00:56:49.820
race are today canceled that'll do it for the show today thanks for watching thanks for listening
