Verdict with Ted Cruz - Bombshell Secret Service Testimony about Trump Assassination Attempt plus Israel Taking Out Hezbollah & Hamas Senior Leadership!

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.540 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.200 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:07.720 Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.380 Senator, yesterday, my oh my,

00:00:12.000 was it an interesting day on Capitol Hill.

00:00:14.460 And let's start with the headline.

00:00:15.840 We were supposed to get some answers

00:00:17.500 about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

00:00:20.500 You asked direct questions to the acting director.

00:00:24.920 Did we find out anything about how this happened?

00:00:27.560 Well, we had a blockbuster hearing yesterday

00:00:30.200 in the Senate Judiciary Committee

00:00:31.500 with the acting director of the Secret Service

00:00:33.900 and the deputy director of the FBI.

00:00:36.540 And it was designed to really get to the bottom

00:00:38.720 of what went wrong in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:00:41.180 What the Secret Service did wrong

00:00:42.960 and how do we fix it?

00:00:45.560 And I got to say, it was frustrating.

00:00:47.460 It was maddening.

00:00:48.360 We saw an enormous amount of stonewalling. 1.00

00:00:51.100 We're going to walk through exactly

00:00:52.500 what happened in that hearing.

00:00:54.600 Also, we've got major breaking news

00:00:56.820 about senior military leaders for Hezbollah

00:01:00.060 and Hamas being taken out by Israel

00:01:03.660 in the last 24 hours.

00:01:05.580 A big, big victory for Israel.

00:01:07.940 A big, big victory for America.

00:01:10.400 We're going to walk you through that right now.

00:01:12.660 Yeah, it's two major stories.

00:01:14.280 I want to tell you real quick, though,

00:01:15.280 about our good friends at Patriot Mobile.

00:01:17.340 I spent yesterday with the CEO of Patriot Mobile,

00:01:20.020 and I can tell you it is amazing

00:01:22.160 what an impact they are having

00:01:24.940 with so many conservatives

00:01:26.800 switching over to Patriot Mobile,

00:01:29.080 especially during this very important election year.

00:01:32.900 You may not realize that

00:01:34.320 if you're with Big Mobile right now,

00:01:35.880 you're giving, by default,

00:01:37.720 big donations to democratic causes

00:01:40.120 and organizations

00:01:41.720 that also include Planned Parenthood.

00:01:44.600 Big Mobile gives big money to the left,

00:01:47.100 and that's exactly why

00:01:48.440 I want you to switch to Patriot Mobile.

00:01:50.540 Now, let's talk about how easy it is to switch

00:01:53.340 and how good the coverage is.

00:01:55.240 In 2024, you're going to be using

00:01:57.220 the same exact towers

00:01:58.380 that you're using right now,

00:01:59.740 except you get rid of the woke agenda

00:02:01.860 that is attached to Big Mobile.

00:02:04.020 You also keep your same cell phone number

00:02:06.560 you have right now,

00:02:07.620 or if you want a new number,

00:02:08.820 you can get that.

00:02:09.640 That's no problem.

00:02:10.860 You can keep your same cell phone

00:02:12.300 that you have right now,

00:02:13.440 or you can upgrade to a new one.

00:02:15.400 But here's the best part.

00:02:17.020 Every time you use your phone,

00:02:18.400 every time you make a text,

00:02:19.540 every time you pay that bill.

00:02:21.880 They take about 5% of your bill,

00:02:24.280 and they give it back

00:02:25.380 to conservative causes

00:02:27.540 that you help choose to support.

00:02:30.680 Causes that support

00:02:31.420 are First and Second Amendment rights,

00:02:33.460 the rights of unborn children,

00:02:34.900 and they support our military veterans,

00:02:37.740 our first responders,

00:02:39.160 and our wounded warriors.

00:02:41.200 So make the switch.

00:02:42.880 Switching is so easy now,

00:02:44.360 you can do it over the phone.

00:02:46.780 All you got to do is call them.

00:02:49.100 972-PATRIOT.

00:02:50.920 That's 972-PATRIOT.

00:02:54.660 972-PATRIOT.

00:03:07.320 Senator, so set the stage for us real quick.

00:03:09.700 I want to play, obviously,

00:03:11.540 your back and forth

00:03:12.620 with the acting director,

00:03:14.400 as you got to ask a lot of questions,

00:03:16.320 and it didn't go well for him.

00:03:17.920 It's made a lot of headlines.

00:03:19.760 But set the stage

00:03:21.060 of how important this hearing was

00:03:22.920 and why it was taking place.

00:03:25.180 So this was yesterday morning.

00:03:27.540 It was a joint hearing

00:03:28.600 of the Senate Judiciary Committee

00:03:29.920 and the Senate Committee

00:03:31.460 on Homeland Security.

00:03:33.180 And we had the acting director

00:03:35.620 of the Secret Service,

00:03:36.660 the former director,

00:03:38.000 has finally resigned

00:03:39.240 given the catastrophic failures we saw.

00:03:41.840 And the deputy director of the FBI.

00:03:44.460 And so it was a hearing

00:03:45.520 that went all morning.

00:03:46.700 And I got to say,

00:03:47.720 there was enormous concern,

00:03:49.700 enormous skepticism.

00:03:50.740 We saw it from both Republicans

00:03:52.680 and Democrats

00:03:53.400 who were asking about

00:03:55.720 the disastrous failures

00:03:57.320 of the Secret Service.

00:03:59.020 And listen,

00:03:59.980 the acting director,

00:04:01.440 he is somewhat better

00:04:04.360 than the old director.

00:04:05.280 The old director was brazen.

00:04:07.540 She was defiant.

00:04:08.840 Her view was,

00:04:09.820 we owe nothing.

00:04:10.880 We owe no accountability.

00:04:12.200 We will not answer any question.

00:04:14.200 We did everything right.

00:04:16.300 To his credit,

00:04:17.360 the acting director

00:04:18.400 began his testimony

00:04:19.460 by saying,

00:04:20.880 we screwed up.

00:04:21.740 We screwed up really badly.

00:04:23.520 And the fact that

00:04:24.520 there was not an agent

00:04:25.420 on the roof

00:04:26.300 where the shooter was,

00:04:27.380 was utterly indefensible.

00:04:29.240 That's a step

00:04:29.840 in the right direction.

00:04:31.220 That being said,

00:04:32.860 he stonewalled, 0.95

00:04:34.080 and he stonewalled 0.93

00:04:34.940 in a way

00:04:35.380 that was infuriating.

00:04:37.060 And look,

00:04:37.660 rather than me

00:04:38.420 describe it to you,

00:04:39.980 just give a listen.

00:04:40.880 Here's my questioning

00:04:41.800 of the acting director

00:04:43.160 of the Secret Service

00:04:44.100 yesterday morning.

00:04:46.000 Thank you,

00:04:46.600 Mr. Chairman.

00:04:48.400 Mr. Rowe,

00:04:49.100 thank you for being here.

00:04:50.440 I agree with what you said

00:04:51.440 at the outset

00:04:51.980 that the individual

00:04:52.940 Secret Service agents

00:04:54.280 demonstrated remarkable

00:04:55.400 personal courage

00:04:56.300 putting their bodies

00:04:57.240 in between

00:04:58.440 the line of sight

00:04:59.220 of the shooter

00:04:59.660 and the president.

00:05:00.240 That being said,

00:05:02.800 the bravery

00:05:03.220 of the line agents

00:05:04.120 is quite different

00:05:04.900 from the decisions

00:05:05.720 of Secret Service leadership.

00:05:08.440 Secret Service leadership

00:05:09.680 committed catastrophic

00:05:11.580 security failures.

00:05:13.200 Indeed,

00:05:13.600 the worst security failures

00:05:15.020 for the Secret Service

00:05:16.640 since 1981,

00:05:18.540 since the attempted assassination

00:05:19.960 of President Ronald Reagan.

00:05:21.980 It is incumbent

00:05:23.240 upon this committee

00:05:25.540 to determine

00:05:26.220 why

00:05:26.880 those security failures happened.

00:05:28.960 Just after the shooting,

00:05:33.500 Secret Service put out

00:05:34.780 an official statement

00:05:35.660 from your spokesperson

00:05:36.560 that says

00:05:37.320 there's an untrue assertion

00:05:38.500 that a member

00:05:39.240 of the former president's team

00:05:40.420 requested additional

00:05:41.260 security resources

00:05:42.220 and that those were rebuffed.

00:05:43.860 This is absolutely false.

00:05:45.760 In fact,

00:05:46.200 we added protective resources

00:05:47.560 and technology

00:05:48.320 and capabilities

00:05:49.020 as part of the increased

00:05:50.180 campaign travel tempo.

00:05:52.060 Was this tweet accurate?

00:05:54.660 With respect to

00:05:55.800 Butler, Pennsylvania,

00:05:56.860 it is accurate, sir.

00:05:57.800 It is accurate 0.98

00:05:59.980 that

00:06:01.660 the Trump team

00:06:03.760 had not asked

00:06:04.540 for additional security

00:06:05.820 and had not been rebuffed.

00:06:07.400 If you're talking

00:06:08.400 about Butler, Pennsylvania,

00:06:09.720 all assets requested

00:06:10.960 were approved.

00:06:11.840 If you're talking

00:06:12.340 about the media reporting

00:06:14.320 of assets requested,

00:06:16.960 there were times

00:06:18.460 when assets

00:06:19.640 were unavailable

00:06:21.440 and not able

00:06:22.220 to be filled

00:06:23.220 and those gaps

00:06:24.280 were staffed

00:06:25.260 with state

00:06:26.180 and local law enforcement

00:06:27.100 tactical assets.

00:06:28.080 So I'm reading

00:06:29.440 from the Washington Post

00:06:30.720 July 20th, 2024.

00:06:32.660 Secret Service

00:06:33.300 denied requests

00:06:34.520 for more security

00:06:35.240 at Trump events.

00:06:36.100 The opening paragraph.

00:06:37.200 Top officials

00:06:37.740 of the U.S. Secret Service

00:06:38.820 repeatedly denied requests

00:06:40.560 for additional resources

00:06:41.600 and personnel

00:06:42.160 sought by Donald Trump's

00:06:43.360 security detail

00:06:44.100 in the two years

00:06:44.860 leading up to

00:06:45.760 his attempted assassination.

00:06:46.940 according to four people

00:06:49.240 familiar with the requests.

00:06:50.880 Is that right?

00:06:51.640 That repeatedly

00:06:52.440 the Trump detail

00:06:53.840 asked for more resources

00:06:55.060 and repeatedly

00:06:55.740 Secret Service leadership

00:06:56.880 turned that down?

00:06:58.620 That is not accurate,

00:06:59.900 Senator.

00:07:00.960 Assets are requested.

00:07:02.440 There's a process

00:07:03.120 that is made.

00:07:05.360 How many requests

00:07:06.200 did the Trump team

00:07:07.660 or the Trump detail

00:07:08.400 ask for?

00:07:09.460 I can get you

00:07:10.420 that number

00:07:10.940 in a queue for a second.

00:07:11.460 You don't know now.

00:07:12.860 I can speak to the ones

00:07:13.960 that were reported

00:07:14.580 in the Washington Post

00:07:15.700 and we can go through them

00:07:16.640 if you like.

00:07:17.420 But you don't know

00:07:18.200 how many requests

00:07:19.240 there were?

00:07:20.620 In general,

00:07:21.340 how many requests

00:07:22.080 since 2021

00:07:23.040 that the former Trump detail

00:07:24.180 has made a request

00:07:25.060 for assets?

00:07:25.340 You've had two weeks.

00:07:26.480 You had a spokesperson

00:07:27.180 put something out

00:07:28.220 that is false

00:07:29.220 on its face.

00:07:30.120 By the way,

00:07:30.500 did you approve

00:07:31.060 this statement

00:07:31.500 when it went out?

00:07:33.040 I don't know

00:07:34.040 if I did or didn't,

00:07:35.100 Senator.

00:07:35.140 Has this spokesperson,

00:07:36.340 is he still employed?

00:07:37.220 Does he still have a job?

00:07:37.960 He is still employed, Senator.

00:07:38.640 So he lied

00:07:39.280 on behalf of the Secret Service.

00:07:40.540 He still has a job.

00:07:41.780 Did your predecessor,

00:07:42.740 the former director,

00:07:43.500 does she approve

00:07:44.040 this statement?

00:07:45.320 Senator,

00:07:45.720 our comms team,

00:07:48.120 they send out statements,

00:07:50.240 they do deconflict them

00:07:51.620 and they put them out.

00:07:52.960 Did she approve

00:07:53.920 this statement?

00:07:55.220 I don't know

00:07:55.980 if she did or did not.

00:07:57.060 And you don't know

00:07:57.560 if you did either?

00:07:58.580 I don't recall

00:07:59.540 approving it, Senator.

00:08:01.880 Will you commit

00:08:02.660 to provide

00:08:03.260 this committee

00:08:03.820 in writing

00:08:04.420 every written request

00:08:06.740 for additional resources

00:08:08.180 from the Trump campaign

00:08:09.400 or the Trump detail

00:08:10.320 and every response

00:08:11.960 from Secret Service?

00:08:13.480 Senator,

00:08:14.120 I will commit

00:08:14.720 to providing responses

00:08:15.960 and getting you

00:08:17.120 the information

00:08:17.740 that you're seeking.

00:08:20.920 May I ask you something?

00:08:22.960 And who makes

00:08:24.160 the decision

00:08:24.700 to deny those requests?

00:08:26.020 Did you make that decision?

00:08:27.700 Which requests?

00:08:28.600 Are you talking

00:08:28.900 about the ones

00:08:29.320 that were in the Washington Post?

00:08:30.840 Yes.

00:08:31.520 The process, sir,

00:08:32.580 is that a detail

00:08:34.440 will make a request

00:08:35.920 for either staffing,

00:08:36.760 technical assets

00:08:37.880 that is handled

00:08:39.660 between the field office

00:08:41.300 and the detail.

00:08:42.260 It goes up

00:08:42.740 to a logistics office

00:08:44.360 between our office.

00:08:45.860 Okay, so there's

00:08:46.480 a bureaucracy.

00:08:47.300 Is there a decision maker?

00:08:48.400 It's not a bureaucracy,

00:08:49.460 Senator.

00:08:49.640 Give me the person

00:08:50.300 that's a decision maker.

00:08:51.480 Is there one?

00:08:53.240 Senator,

00:08:53.980 it's a conversation.

00:08:55.420 It's not just

00:08:55.980 an absolute yay or nay.

00:08:57.300 So let me tell you

00:08:58.020 what I believe.

00:08:58.780 I believe

00:08:59.420 that the Secret Service

00:09:00.780 leadership

00:09:01.380 made a political decision

00:09:02.960 to deny these requests.

00:09:05.660 And I think

00:09:06.200 the Biden administration

00:09:07.260 has been suffused

00:09:08.560 with partisan politics.

00:09:10.460 Did the same person

00:09:11.340 who denied the request

00:09:12.340 for additional security

00:09:13.340 to President Trump

00:09:14.220 also repeatedly deny

00:09:15.940 the request for security

00:09:17.240 to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,

00:09:18.780 whose father was murdered

00:09:20.160 by an assassin

00:09:20.920 and whose uncle

00:09:22.040 was murdered by an assassin?

00:09:23.620 Did the same person

00:09:24.320 make that decision?

00:09:25.380 Senator,

00:09:26.020 what I will tell you

00:09:26.860 is that Secret Service agents

00:09:28.500 are not political.

00:09:29.800 Okay, you're not answering my question.

00:09:31.060 But you know what?

00:09:31.840 Leadership appointed

00:09:32.700 by the President

00:09:35.220 is political.

00:09:36.780 I have a simple question.

00:09:38.060 Yes or no.

00:09:39.120 Did the same person

00:09:40.980 deny the Trump request

00:09:43.000 that also denied

00:09:44.020 the RFK request?

00:09:45.180 That's a yes or no question.

00:09:46.680 Senator,

00:09:47.520 that is not a yes or no question.

00:09:50.000 One,

00:09:50.780 there is a process

00:09:51.580 for a candidate nominee

00:09:52.760 to receive protection.

00:09:54.020 Does the buck stop anywhere?

00:09:55.860 Does the buck stop anywhere?

00:09:57.420 Bipartisan process

00:09:58.500 that the Hill participants...

00:09:59.220 It's a bicameral, 0.91

00:10:00.900 bipartisan process?

00:10:01.940 For a candidate...

00:10:03.420 You are not a Congress.

00:10:04.760 You don't have a camera.

00:10:05.760 Mr. Kennedy submitted

00:10:06.940 a request

00:10:07.640 that was referred over

00:10:09.000 to the CPAC.

00:10:10.040 Okay, you're refusing

00:10:11.040 to answer the question.

00:10:12.220 Let me ask,

00:10:12.780 because the failures

00:10:13.600 on that day

00:10:14.320 were catastrophic.

00:10:15.080 By the way,

00:10:16.100 is it true that

00:10:16.960 on the day

00:10:17.480 of the Butler event

00:10:18.780 that Secret Service

00:10:19.700 transferred agent

00:10:20.580 from President Trump

00:10:21.600 to the First Lady? 0.93

00:10:23.920 No, sir.

00:10:24.640 That's not true.

00:10:25.440 That's been widely reported.

00:10:27.020 It's not true.

00:10:27.960 There was one airport agent

00:10:29.260 that actually went on

00:10:30.200 the manpower request

00:10:31.160 for the Trump detail.

00:10:32.320 They handled the arrival

00:10:33.320 at the airport

00:10:33.860 for the First Lady.

00:10:34.900 What was the relative size

00:10:36.460 of the Trump detail

00:10:37.600 compared to the detail

00:10:38.800 that is assigned

00:10:39.480 to the President

00:10:40.040 or the First Lady? 0.99

00:10:42.300 Senator,

00:10:43.000 the former President

00:10:44.040 travels with a full shift,

00:10:45.520 just like the President.

00:10:46.680 What's the...

00:10:47.260 So the exact same size?

00:10:48.660 Is that your testimony

00:10:49.480 that President Trump

00:10:50.660 had the same size detail

00:10:51.880 that President Biden has?

00:10:53.400 On the day of in Butler,

00:10:55.080 the agents surrounding him,

00:10:56.500 it is the same number

00:10:57.800 of agents

00:10:58.280 surrounding the President today.

00:10:59.580 There is a difference

00:11:00.640 between a sitting President

00:11:01.820 who also not only...

00:11:03.580 Hold on.

00:11:04.160 You're using President

00:11:04.920 in a way that is not clear.

00:11:06.300 Is it your testimony

00:11:07.360 that in Butler, Pennsylvania,

00:11:10.020 Donald Trump

00:11:10.800 had the same number

00:11:11.840 of agents protecting him

00:11:13.200 that Joe Biden

00:11:14.380 has at a comparable event?

00:11:16.500 I'm telling you,

00:11:17.480 the shift,

00:11:18.060 the close protection shift

00:11:19.280 surrounding...

00:11:19.820 That's what you asked me,

00:11:21.020 Senator.

00:11:21.420 I'm trying to answer it.

00:11:22.940 You are not answering it.

00:11:24.260 Is it the same number

00:11:25.000 of agents or not?

00:11:26.660 Senator,

00:11:27.240 there is a difference

00:11:28.080 between the sitting President

00:11:29.460 of the United States.

00:11:30.600 Then what's the difference?

00:11:31.700 The difference?

00:11:32.460 2X, 3X, 5X, 10X?

00:11:33.920 National Command Authority

00:11:35.120 to launch a nuclear strike, sir.

00:11:36.980 I'm not asking

00:11:37.520 how many more agents...

00:11:39.620 ...travel with the President

00:11:40.520 that the former President

00:11:41.920 will not get.

00:11:42.700 But the number of Secret Service

00:11:44.580 agents protecting him...

00:11:46.100 Stop interrupting me.

00:11:47.660 Go ahead, Senator.

00:11:48.220 ...you are refusing

00:11:48.820 to answer clear

00:11:49.900 and direct questions.

00:11:51.820 I am asking

00:11:52.740 the relative difference

00:11:54.020 in the number of agents

00:11:55.260 between those assigned

00:11:57.220 to Donald Trump

00:11:57.860 and those assigned

00:11:58.700 to Joe Biden.

00:11:59.500 I'm not asking

00:12:00.260 why you assign more

00:12:01.500 to Joe Biden.

00:12:02.160 I'm asking,

00:12:03.020 is the difference,

00:12:03.780 is it 2X?

00:12:04.660 Is it 3X?

00:12:05.760 Is it 5X?

00:12:06.860 Is it 10X?

00:12:08.340 Senator,

00:12:08.800 I will get you that number

00:12:09.920 so you can see it

00:12:10.720 with your own eyes.

00:12:12.560 Senator,

00:12:13.280 number one,

00:12:14.760 let's start at the end.

00:12:16.660 He says he will get you

00:12:17.820 those numbers.

00:12:18.920 This is not a hard question

00:12:20.480 you asked about

00:12:21.200 the difference

00:12:21.740 in the details.

00:12:23.180 And yet,

00:12:23.760 he clearly didn't want

00:12:25.440 to answer that question.

00:12:26.400 Is that because

00:12:27.140 we're going to be so shocked

00:12:28.200 by what that answer is?

00:12:30.760 So listen,

00:12:31.700 he engaged

00:12:32.440 in a very deliberate

00:12:33.620 effort at deception.

00:12:37.240 He said the close

00:12:38.620 protective detail

00:12:39.840 is identical.

00:12:40.720 Now understand,

00:12:42.360 a Secret Service detail

00:12:43.840 that is protecting someone,

00:12:46.600 you have the close

00:12:47.660 protective detail,

00:12:48.640 which are the agents

00:12:49.300 that actually surround

00:12:50.240 the protectee.

00:12:51.680 You also have,

00:12:53.160 typically,

00:12:53.840 a perimeter

00:12:54.560 that is often

00:12:56.860 at three levels.

00:12:57.920 The close protection,

00:12:59.520 a second perimeter level,

00:13:00.900 that's often where

00:13:01.700 you see magnetometers,

00:13:03.000 that's often where

00:13:03.580 you see people examined,

00:13:04.860 and then you have

00:13:05.820 the furthest out perimeter.

00:13:06.940 What he did not

00:13:09.340 want to answer

00:13:10.220 is how many agents

00:13:13.160 were protecting

00:13:14.500 Donald Trump,

00:13:15.780 how many agents

00:13:17.260 typically protect

00:13:18.180 Joe Biden,

00:13:18.900 and by the way,

00:13:19.860 how many agents

00:13:20.680 protect the first lady,

00:13:22.040 Jill Biden.

00:13:22.860 Now I can tell you,

00:13:23.840 following up this

00:13:24.620 cross-examination,

00:13:26.760 we have what are called

00:13:28.160 QFRs,

00:13:28.960 questions for the record.

00:13:30.440 So I am submitting

00:13:31.620 written questions.

00:13:33.940 I am asking

00:13:34.720 the acting director

00:13:36.360 of the Secret Service,

00:13:37.240 number one,

00:13:38.200 how many agents

00:13:38.860 were assigned

00:13:39.360 to Donald Trump?

00:13:40.640 Number two,

00:13:41.440 how many are typically

00:13:42.120 assigned to Joe Biden?

00:13:43.180 Number three,

00:13:43.780 how many are typically

00:13:44.360 assigned to the first lady?

00:13:45.760 Now to be clear,

00:13:46.960 and this is where,

00:13:48.000 listen,

00:13:48.400 there's some strategy

00:13:49.360 in terms of how you

00:13:51.120 approach a cross-examination

00:13:52.500 like this in a public hearing.

00:13:54.500 I did not ask him this

00:13:56.080 in a public hearing.

00:13:56.880 Why?

00:13:57.860 Because he would

00:13:58.600 refuse to answer.

00:13:59.300 What he would say

00:14:00.340 is I'm not going

00:14:02.340 to disclose to you

00:14:03.280 how many agents

00:14:04.020 are assigned

00:14:04.560 to Donald Trump

00:14:05.280 because that would

00:14:06.680 endanger the security

00:14:07.940 of the protective detail.

00:14:09.140 And that's a reasonable response.

00:14:11.720 It's why I didn't

00:14:12.260 ask the question

00:14:12.960 because there's something

00:14:15.180 that is known

00:14:15.840 as law enforcement confidential.

00:14:18.140 So when I ask him

00:14:20.060 a question for the record,

00:14:21.780 listen,

00:14:22.200 I have TSSCI clearance.

00:14:24.120 I have the top level

00:14:24.940 of security clearance

00:14:25.900 that exists in the government.

00:14:27.540 I want to know

00:14:29.560 the exact number. 0.99

00:14:31.220 How many frigging agents 0.97

00:14:32.620 were assigned to Trump? 0.98

00:14:34.180 How many were assigned

00:14:35.200 to the first lady? 0.93

00:14:36.020 How many were assigned

00:14:36.660 to the president?

00:14:37.800 I'm not going to reveal

00:14:38.880 those numbers.

00:14:39.460 So when I get them,

00:14:40.600 I'm assuming he will tell me.

00:14:42.860 If he tells me

00:14:43.840 they're law enforcement

00:14:44.640 confidential,

00:14:45.360 I'm not going to repeat

00:14:46.160 them on this podcast.

00:14:47.740 But what I am going

00:14:48.920 to repeat is what I asked him

00:14:50.580 that he refused to answer.

00:14:51.600 What is the relative difference?

00:14:54.660 I understand Joe Biden,

00:14:56.740 the sitting president's detail

00:14:57.980 is larger than Trump's.

00:15:00.860 But by what margin?

00:15:03.160 Is it double?

00:15:04.300 Is it triple?

00:15:05.700 Is it 5x?

00:15:06.900 Is it 10x?

00:15:08.120 He did not want

00:15:09.540 to answer that question.

00:15:10.860 The American people

00:15:11.580 are entitled

00:15:12.060 to know that question.

00:15:13.480 Canadian women

00:15:14.400 are looking for more.

00:15:15.700 More out of themselves,

00:15:16.780 their businesses,

00:15:17.720 their elected leaders,

00:15:18.680 and the world around them.

00:15:19.720 And that's why we're thrilled

00:15:20.860 to introduce

00:15:21.520 the Honest Talk Podcast.

00:15:23.540 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:15:24.820 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:15:26.040 And in this podcast,

00:15:27.180 we interview Canada's

00:15:28.160 most inspiring women.

00:15:29.760 Entrepreneurs,

00:15:30.500 artists,

00:15:31.160 athletes,

00:15:31.780 politicians,

00:15:32.420 and newsmakers,

00:15:33.340 all at different stages

00:15:34.400 of their journey.

00:15:35.540 So if you're looking

00:15:36.560 to connect,

00:15:37.360 then we hope you'll join us.

00:15:38.780 Listen to the Honest Talk Podcast

00:15:40.000 on iHeartRadio

00:15:41.160 or wherever you listen

00:15:42.120 to your podcasts.

00:15:44.580 Let's also go back

00:15:46.600 to some other questions

00:15:48.900 that were asked of him.

00:15:50.400 And I think these are important.

00:15:51.820 One of them came

00:15:52.660 from one of your good friends

00:15:53.840 and colleagues,

00:15:54.620 Mike Lee.

00:15:55.700 A very simple question.

00:15:57.220 Take a listen.

00:15:58.560 No information

00:15:59.340 regarding a weapon

00:16:00.520 on the roof

00:16:01.420 was ever passed

00:16:02.360 to our personnel.

00:16:04.680 How is that even possible?

00:16:07.300 Do you want to comment to that?

00:16:09.120 Senator,

00:16:09.800 again,

00:16:10.380 I believe that information,

00:16:12.080 and this is probably something

00:16:14.100 my colleague

00:16:14.840 can expound on,

00:16:16.220 information that was

00:16:18.080 in law enforcement,

00:16:19.660 local law enforcement channels,

00:16:20.920 but did not cross over

00:16:22.520 and make it

00:16:23.140 to Secret Service awareness.

00:16:24.820 I mean,

00:16:25.480 that might be

00:16:26.200 one of the worst answers

00:16:27.120 I've ever heard,

00:16:27.900 Senator.

00:16:28.080 And the fact

00:16:29.160 that he's confirming

00:16:30.380 what we were terrified of,

00:16:33.140 which is no information

00:16:34.480 regarding a weapon

00:16:35.480 on the roof

00:16:36.120 or the shooter

00:16:36.580 on the roof

00:16:36.940 was ever

00:16:37.780 passed to our personnel.

00:16:40.240 Now,

00:16:40.380 when he refers

00:16:40.980 to our personnel,

00:16:42.320 he's clearly referring

00:16:43.780 to those

00:16:44.460 in the Secret Service

00:16:45.620 or the Secret Service

00:16:46.600 sniper team.

00:16:48.260 And Mike Lee's response

00:16:49.760 is spot on, right?

00:16:50.940 How is that even possible?

00:16:54.060 Yeah, look,

00:16:55.120 this was,

00:16:56.220 as I said,

00:16:57.420 a catastrophic

00:16:58.260 security failure

00:16:59.520 by the leadership

00:17:00.880 of the Secret Service.

00:17:01.980 They are not

00:17:02.580 taking responsibility

00:17:03.740 for that failure.

00:17:05.260 Now,

00:17:05.460 I got to tell you,

00:17:06.040 the way this hearing

00:17:06.980 was set up,

00:17:08.120 we had five-minute rounds.

00:17:10.240 It is difficult

00:17:11.100 to walk through

00:17:11.960 the details

00:17:12.580 of what you need

00:17:13.220 to get through

00:17:13.660 in five minutes.

00:17:14.340 I ended up taking

00:17:15.000 about seven,

00:17:16.160 which meant I went

00:17:16.860 about two minutes over.

00:17:18.080 And that's always leery.

00:17:20.000 But let me tell you

00:17:20.960 some of the other questions

00:17:21.920 that I had

00:17:22.560 that I was prepared to ask.

00:17:24.080 But because the acting director

00:17:25.860 of the Secret Service

00:17:26.680 was filibustering

00:17:27.520 to some extent,

00:17:28.700 he was interrupting me

00:17:29.960 to some extent,

00:17:30.740 he was belligerent

00:17:31.920 to a significant extent,

00:17:33.660 I didn't get to them.

00:17:34.760 But there are a whole series

00:17:35.660 of questions

00:17:36.280 that need to be answers.

00:17:38.680 And by the way,

00:17:39.380 I'm asking every one

00:17:40.840 of these questions

00:17:41.640 in writing.

00:17:43.060 So in a follow-up

00:17:43.720 to a hearing,

00:17:44.260 you ask written questions.

00:17:46.060 Number one,

00:17:47.240 the shooter,

00:17:48.640 when he came

00:17:49.500 into the rally site

00:17:51.960 in Butler, Pennsylvania,

00:17:53.320 he was stopped

00:17:54.320 by Secret Service

00:17:55.240 at the metal detectors.

00:17:57.340 He had a rangefinder

00:17:58.740 with him.

00:17:59.840 That was at 3 p.m.

00:18:02.420 Why did Secret Service

00:18:04.420 not detain him?

00:18:06.060 Why did they not

00:18:07.080 question him

00:18:07.880 about the rangefinder?

00:18:08.840 Now,

00:18:10.240 the acting director

00:18:11.560 of the Secret Service,

00:18:12.340 he said,

00:18:12.660 well,

00:18:13.080 it was a recreational

00:18:14.440 rangefinder.

00:18:15.260 It was like a golf rangefinder

00:18:16.840 that you used

00:18:17.460 to look the distance

00:18:18.660 of the pin.

00:18:19.160 Now,

00:18:19.380 you're right now,

00:18:20.520 you're with your son

00:18:21.980 at the World Championship.

00:18:23.340 You probably have

00:18:23.940 a golf rangefinder.

00:18:25.680 Yes, we do.

00:18:26.280 You know what?

00:18:27.260 You know what?

00:18:29.340 In Butler, Pennsylvania,

00:18:30.720 they weren't playing golf.

00:18:32.700 They weren't trying

00:18:33.800 to figure out

00:18:34.560 where the pin was.

00:18:36.120 There is no benign

00:18:37.700 or innocuous explanation

00:18:39.120 for why someone shows up

00:18:40.920 at a political rally

00:18:42.360 with a rangefinder.

00:18:43.980 So that's question number one.

00:18:45.500 Why didn't you detain him?

00:18:46.640 Why didn't you question him?

00:18:47.600 Why didn't you say,

00:18:48.140 why the hell do you have

00:18:48.740 this rangefinder?

00:18:49.420 They didn't.

00:18:50.840 After that,

00:18:52.340 two and a half hours later

00:18:53.680 at about 5.30,

00:18:55.580 the shooter was seen,

00:18:56.880 and by the way,

00:18:57.360 let me make an aside.

00:18:58.760 You will notice

00:18:59.400 on this podcast,

00:19:00.440 I will never,

00:19:01.080 ever, ever say

00:19:01.860 the name of the shooter.

00:19:02.620 I think people

00:19:05.240 that commit heinous acts

00:19:06.500 like this 1.00

00:19:07.100 are evil bastards 1.00

00:19:08.580 who deserve 1.00

00:19:09.220 to be forgotten

00:19:09.960 by history.

00:19:10.700 So I will never,

00:19:11.720 I'll call him the shooter,

00:19:13.120 but I will not repeat

00:19:14.020 his name.

00:19:15.060 But the shooter

00:19:15.780 at about 5.30

00:19:17.180 was observed

00:19:19.140 using the rangefinder

00:19:20.920 to measure the distance

00:19:22.800 from where he was

00:19:23.760 to the podium

00:19:25.140 where Donald Trump was.

00:19:27.280 The next obvious question,

00:19:29.400 why did,

00:19:32.040 was the shooter

00:19:33.500 not detained then,

00:19:35.280 questioned then?

00:19:35.900 He was observed

00:19:36.540 by law enforcement

00:19:37.560 scoping out the distance.

00:19:40.080 That is obvious

00:19:41.240 and highly suspicious activity.

00:19:43.820 Third question,

00:19:45.500 why were there not

00:19:46.280 more agents?

00:19:47.280 We had repeated requests

00:19:49.000 over and over and over again

00:19:50.340 from the Trump team.

00:19:51.300 We need more agents.

00:19:52.440 We need more agents.

00:19:53.200 Why were there not

00:19:53.700 more agents

00:19:54.200 in the outer perimeter?

00:19:55.020 Or why were there not

00:19:55.920 more agents?

00:19:57.140 On another question,

00:19:59.200 why was there not

00:20:00.120 a Secret Service agent

00:20:01.380 on that rooftop?

00:20:03.720 It is obvious.

00:20:04.460 It was about 140 yards

00:20:05.900 away from the president.

00:20:06.960 That is a clean line of sight

00:20:08.780 for a sniper.

00:20:09.600 That is not a difficult shot.

00:20:11.580 Why was there not

00:20:12.300 a Secret Service agent

00:20:13.300 on that roof

00:20:14.280 to ensure that

00:20:16.100 nobody else was there?

00:20:17.220 He did not answer

00:20:18.180 that question either.

00:20:19.920 Why?

00:20:20.560 Let me ask you this question.

00:20:21.960 Let me ask you this question

00:20:22.940 on that because there's

00:20:23.920 a lot of people

00:20:24.260 that ask me this

00:20:24.960 and I want you

00:20:25.940 to answer your perspective.

00:20:28.900 If they didn't have

00:20:30.180 a team, right?

00:20:31.160 There's been arguments

00:20:31.960 where maybe they didn't

00:20:32.460 have a team

00:20:32.860 to cover that roof

00:20:33.760 and so it was

00:20:35.080 lack of resources. 1.00

00:20:36.940 Assign the damn agents. 1.00

00:20:38.740 There are 4,000 1.00

00:20:41.000 Secret Service agents.

00:20:42.920 Assign the agents.

00:20:44.160 So one of the

00:20:44.660 fundamental problems

00:20:45.460 is the Secret Service,

00:20:47.480 I believe,

00:20:48.060 I haven't had this confirmed,

00:20:49.160 but here's what

00:20:49.540 I believe was happening.

00:20:50.940 They were treating

00:20:52.040 Donald Trump

00:20:52.900 as a former president.

00:20:54.140 Now listen,

00:20:54.740 former presidents

00:20:55.540 have Secret Service

00:20:57.640 protection for life.

00:20:59.200 So Jimmy Carter

00:21:00.420 right now,

00:21:01.560 who is almost

00:21:02.540 100 years old,

00:21:04.460 Jimmy Carter

00:21:05.020 has a Secret Service

00:21:05.940 detail.

00:21:06.480 Now to be honest,

00:21:08.020 that's right,

00:21:09.420 that's good,

00:21:10.000 but the threats

00:21:11.960 against Jimmy Carter

00:21:12.960 at this point

00:21:13.600 in his life

00:21:14.140 are very low.

00:21:16.060 There are just

00:21:16.540 not a lot of active...

00:21:17.400 And very different

00:21:17.520 than Trump.

00:21:19.020 There are not a lot

00:21:19.940 of active murderers

00:21:21.460 seeking to kill 0.57

00:21:22.260 Jimmy Carter 0.99

00:21:22.920 at the very end

00:21:24.520 of his natural life.

00:21:25.780 We know,

00:21:26.680 by the way,

00:21:27.540 the nation of Iran

00:21:28.980 has hired assassins 0.92

00:21:31.680 to murder Trump.

00:21:33.000 So you don't just have 1.00

00:21:34.460 crazy-ass lunatics 1.00

00:21:35.700 who want to shoot him. 1.00

00:21:36.500 You literally have

00:21:37.720 a nation-state

00:21:38.660 with billions of dollars

00:21:40.660 to fund assassins 0.97

00:21:41.940 to murder him. 0.98

00:21:43.120 And what I believe 0.93

00:21:43.880 the Secret Service...

00:21:44.620 Here's what I think

00:21:45.420 happened.

00:21:46.480 The Biden administration

00:21:48.000 is political

00:21:48.860 in every decision

00:21:49.700 it makes.

00:21:50.800 I think they didn't

00:21:52.480 want to up

00:21:53.580 Trump's security detail

00:21:55.400 because if they did so,

00:21:58.280 they would have to

00:21:59.560 acknowledge his legitimacy.

00:22:01.100 Listen,

00:22:01.440 Trump is not just

00:22:02.440 a former president

00:22:03.540 who's retired

00:22:05.020 and is off

00:22:05.900 like painting paintings

00:22:07.060 and building houses

00:22:08.560 for Habitat for Humanity.

00:22:10.440 He is the Republican

00:22:11.460 nominee to be president

00:22:12.540 right now.

00:22:13.340 He is, I think,

00:22:14.540 likely the next president

00:22:16.120 of the United States.

00:22:17.720 And the Biden administration,

00:22:20.180 I believe this was all politics.

00:22:22.040 The leadership

00:22:22.860 of the Secret Service

00:22:24.360 did not want to up his detail

00:22:25.900 because it would be

00:22:27.220 according credibility

00:22:28.640 and seriousness

00:22:29.580 to his campaign.

00:22:31.360 It is, I believe,

00:22:32.780 the identical reason

00:22:33.920 they refused repeatedly

00:22:36.420 to give a Secret Service

00:22:38.940 detail to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:22:40.800 Now listen,

00:22:41.620 you and I on this podcast

00:22:42.760 months ago

00:22:43.840 called them out

00:22:45.300 and said it is outrageous.

00:22:46.640 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,

00:22:47.800 his father,

00:22:50.440 RFK Sr.,

00:22:52.600 was murdered

00:22:53.880 when he was running

00:22:55.600 for president

00:22:56.080 of the United States.

00:22:57.160 His uncle, JFK,

00:22:59.280 was murdered

00:23:00.360 as the sitting president

00:23:02.340 of the United States.

00:23:03.640 RFK Jr.

00:23:04.560 has had multiple

00:23:05.440 death threats.

00:23:06.860 He has had multiple

00:23:07.880 attempts on his life.

00:23:09.360 And I believe

00:23:10.100 the reason

00:23:10.840 that the Biden administration

00:23:12.240 didn't give him

00:23:13.040 Secret Service protection

00:23:14.000 is they hate the fact

00:23:15.800 that another Democrat

00:23:17.220 is running against

00:23:18.120 what was then Joe Biden,

00:23:19.260 now Kamala Harris.

00:23:20.540 And if they gave

00:23:21.740 Secret Service protection

00:23:22.920 to him,

00:23:23.340 it would be acknowledging

00:23:24.200 he was legitimate.

00:23:24.960 that is,

00:23:26.480 if that is the basis,

00:23:27.740 it is a purely

00:23:28.940 political decision,

00:23:31.240 it is indefensible,

00:23:33.240 and we need

00:23:34.580 to get answers on it.

00:23:36.060 Yeah, great point.

00:23:37.200 I want to talk to you

00:23:37.980 about Ammo Squared.

00:23:39.060 They are a company

00:23:40.120 that help you stay

00:24:31.640 one caliber you're using

00:24:32.700 and then you switch.

00:24:33.980 You're like,

00:24:34.260 what am I going to do

00:24:52.340 over time.

00:24:53.020 Now,

00:24:53.360 if ammo prices skyrocket

00:24:55.400 like we saw during COVID

00:24:56.560 or ammo

00:24:57.620 in a certain caliber

00:24:58.500 just disappears

00:24:59.320 from the shelves

00:25:44.020 Senator,

00:25:44.300 I want to ask you

00:25:44.900 another couple

00:25:45.560 quick questions about this

00:25:46.860 because there's so much

00:25:47.940 that came out

00:25:48.540 in this hearing.

00:25:49.640 One of them

00:25:50.460 you mentioned a moment ago

00:25:51.620 was about Iran.

00:25:53.900 And I want to play this

00:25:55.380 because I do think

00:25:56.540 it just shows

00:25:57.280 how shocking,

00:25:58.920 how unprepared

00:26:00.980 the Secret Service was

00:26:02.460 not just at this event

00:26:03.840 but maybe at many other events

00:26:05.240 that were supposed

00:26:06.000 to be protecting

00:26:06.800 Donald Trump.

00:26:08.180 What is the nature

00:26:09.460 of the Iran threat,

00:26:10.960 the threat to

00:26:12.780 former President Trump

00:26:13.860 that has been mentioned?

00:26:15.480 But we know

00:26:17.220 that let me be clear here

00:26:19.420 the terrorist regime 0.76

00:26:20.700 of Iran

00:26:22.360 have been

00:26:24.080 targeting people

00:26:25.560 or country

00:26:26.200 for many, many years now.

00:26:27.980 We've talked about

00:26:28.680 that here before.

00:26:29.460 I want to be clear

00:26:29.960 about that

00:26:30.380 from the FBI stamp

00:26:31.440 we have.

00:26:32.440 We know publicly

00:26:33.560 they've put

00:26:35.100 they've targeted

00:26:36.380 former President Trump.

00:26:38.440 They've called

00:26:39.080 for his assassination.

00:26:40.580 I mean that

00:26:42.360 they know this

00:26:43.340 and they say

00:26:43.740 they've been doing this

00:26:44.180 for years

00:26:44.680 and yet you let

00:26:45.860 this building

00:26:46.500 just sit unattended

00:26:48.000 and I go back

00:26:49.340 to the question

00:26:49.740 I asked you earlier

00:26:50.420 because it's a question

00:26:51.820 many have asked.

00:26:52.620 If let's just say

00:26:53.480 hypothetical center

00:26:54.420 they didn't have

00:26:55.360 the manpower

00:26:56.040 hypothetical for

00:26:57.220 the Secret Service

00:26:57.900 not have the manpower

00:26:58.640 get it

00:26:59.040 why wouldn't they

00:27:00.040 have used

00:27:00.560 those that were

00:27:02.100 on the ground

00:27:02.600 there locally

00:27:03.300 the SWAT teams

00:27:04.620 that were there locally

00:27:05.500 to cover that roof?

00:27:07.360 Well and to some extent

00:27:08.400 so the Secret Service

00:27:09.700 was trying to pass

00:27:10.640 the blame

00:27:11.000 to local law enforcement

00:27:11.960 they were saying

00:27:12.400 well local law enforcement

00:27:13.460 screwed up

00:27:14.920 and so they said 0.83

00:27:15.740 at one point

00:27:16.520 that there were

00:27:17.240 local SWAT teams

00:27:19.040 that were supposed

00:27:19.580 to be monitoring

00:27:20.240 that roof

00:27:20.880 and there's been

00:27:22.040 testimony that there

00:27:22.940 was a local SWAT team

00:27:23.900 there and then

00:27:24.400 they disappeared.

00:27:25.120 Now they won't

00:27:25.500 tell us who it was

00:27:26.440 they won't tell us

00:27:27.700 who made the decision

00:27:28.560 to leave that post

00:27:30.160 there has been

00:27:31.280 media reports

00:27:32.160 that there was

00:27:32.720 someone assigned

00:27:33.420 to be on that roof

00:27:34.160 but it was too hot

00:27:34.940 so they left.

00:27:36.080 We need to know

00:27:36.580 the answer to that

00:27:37.360 that is

00:27:38.560 they're not

00:27:39.540 but what the Secret Service

00:27:41.400 is trying to do

00:27:42.080 is pass the buck

00:27:42.860 to local law enforcement

00:27:43.800 and say local law enforcement

00:27:44.900 screwed up

00:27:45.440 but I'll tell you

00:27:46.300 a couple other questions

00:27:47.260 that I was going to ask

00:27:48.340 and that I am asking

00:27:50.480 in writing.

00:27:51.780 So we know

00:27:53.760 and we've seen the videos

00:27:54.900 in fact we played this

00:27:55.980 on this podcast

00:27:56.700 at the time

00:27:58.300 there were multiple

00:27:59.880 spectators

00:28:00.660 who were outside

00:28:01.500 the perimeter

00:28:02.000 who saw the shooter

00:28:03.400 on the roof

00:28:03.960 they saw the shooter

00:28:05.400 on the roof

00:28:05.920 with a gun

00:28:06.560 with a rifle

00:28:07.220 and they began

00:28:08.320 screaming and yelling

00:28:09.420 and saying

00:28:09.820 there's a man on the roof

00:28:10.700 a man on the roof

00:28:11.340 with a gun

00:28:11.740 they began doing that

00:28:14.360 one minute

00:28:15.440 and 57 seconds

00:28:17.320 before the shooting began

00:28:18.680 that's a lot of time

00:28:20.800 they told local law enforcement

00:28:23.380 it was a sign

00:28:24.140 at that outer perimeter

00:28:25.100 there's a man

00:28:26.380 on the roof

00:28:27.060 with a gun

00:28:27.580 now one of the

00:28:29.140 enormous problems

00:28:30.100 is there was

00:28:31.780 apparently

00:28:32.420 zero

00:28:33.420 coordination

00:28:35.060 communication

00:28:36.000 between local law enforcement

00:28:37.500 and secret service

00:28:38.940 so

00:28:39.620 a natural question

00:28:41.640 a minute and 57 seconds

00:28:42.960 before the shooting began

00:28:43.980 spectators observe

00:28:46.260 a man on the roof

00:28:47.540 with a gun

00:28:47.960 why

00:28:49.260 did the local police officers

00:28:51.380 who were there

00:28:51.960 not immediately radio

00:28:54.120 secret service

00:28:54.940 and say

00:28:55.480 there's a shooter

00:28:56.580 pull

00:28:58.380 president trump

00:28:59.560 down

00:29:00.020 that's what you do

00:29:01.680 in that circumstance

00:29:02.520 is you pull them down

00:29:03.620 if you have the protectee

00:29:05.600 and you know

00:29:06.580 that there's a potential sniper

00:29:07.940 and it's a dangerous situation

00:29:09.220 you go up

00:29:09.720 you pull them down

00:29:10.660 say miss president

00:29:11.320 you need to come down

00:29:12.000 for a second

00:29:12.380 and you just pull them

00:29:13.020 out of the harm's way

00:29:13.760 and then you go

00:29:14.880 and deal with

00:29:15.720 the law enforcement threat

00:29:16.640 why did they not do that

00:29:17.600 for a minute and 57 seconds

00:29:19.260 and what appears

00:29:20.260 to be the answer

00:29:20.940 but the acting director

00:29:22.280 would not answer it

00:29:23.160 is there was no

00:29:24.820 interoperability

00:29:25.960 there was no communication

00:29:27.200 between local

00:29:28.040 law enforcement

00:29:29.200 and the secret service

00:29:31.240 now it gets even worse

00:29:32.360 a local police officer

00:29:34.740 climbed up

00:29:35.580 on the shoulders

00:29:36.520 of another local police officer

00:29:37.860 climbed up to the roof

00:29:38.820 so when the people

00:29:39.800 are yelling

00:29:40.540 hey there's a guy

00:29:41.280 with a gun

00:29:41.720 he climbed up to see it

00:29:43.600 he climbs up to the roof

00:29:45.560 he pulls his head up

00:29:46.700 and the shooter turns

00:29:48.660 and points his rifle

00:29:50.680 at the officer's head

00:29:52.060 now the officer

00:29:53.660 ducks

00:29:54.840 because he doesn't want 0.85

00:29:55.640 to get shot in the head

00:29:56.420 and the testimony was

00:29:59.000 he fell about 8 feet

00:30:00.140 to the ground

00:30:00.660 that happened

00:30:02.940 24 seconds

00:30:05.040 before the first shot

00:30:07.720 was fired

00:30:08.380 now

00:30:09.420 in any ordinary

00:30:11.560 insane situation

00:30:12.640 the officer

00:30:13.240 as he sees the rifle

00:30:14.440 as he sees the man

00:30:15.400 on the roof

00:30:15.820 so he knows

00:30:16.620 you have a police officer

00:30:17.900 that knows

00:30:18.680 there's a shooter

00:30:19.420 with a rifle

00:30:20.120 on the roof

00:30:21.020 while the president

00:30:21.980 is talking

00:30:22.460 here's what

00:30:23.460 what should happen

00:30:24.540 the officer

00:30:25.980 as he's ducking down

00:30:27.660 he pulls out

00:30:28.300 his radio

00:30:30.080 and he says

00:30:31.300 gun

00:30:31.740 gun

00:30:32.200 gun

00:30:32.640 shooter

00:30:33.180 shooter

00:30:33.620 shooter

00:30:34.080 and if the secret service

00:30:35.780 hears that

00:30:36.220 they have 24 seconds

00:30:37.820 for the detail

00:30:39.420 to run up

00:30:40.100 to grab the president

00:30:41.380 to pull him down

00:30:42.180 under the podium

00:30:42.820 and by the way

00:30:43.880 they also have

00:30:44.840 two counter snipers

00:30:45.880 if they get over the radio

00:30:47.580 gun gun gun

00:30:48.680 shooter shooter

00:30:49.320 shooter

00:30:49.680 you've got 24 seconds

00:30:51.340 for the counter snipers

00:30:52.340 to see the sniper

00:30:53.360 see the shooter

00:30:54.180 and take him out

00:30:55.740 if that happens

00:30:57.280 president trump

00:30:58.900 is not shot

00:30:59.760 fire chief

00:31:01.560 cory comparatori

00:31:03.280 is not murdered

00:31:05.180 the two other people

00:31:07.000 who were severely injured

00:31:08.040 are not injured

00:31:08.940 and

00:31:10.100 what appears

00:31:11.560 to be the case

00:31:12.360 although the acting director

00:31:13.760 of the secret service

00:31:15.180 would not confirm this

00:31:16.200 is there was no

00:31:17.740 radio interoperability

00:31:19.400 in other words

00:31:20.120 what the local police

00:31:21.540 officer saw

00:31:22.380 he could not communicate

00:31:24.440 with secret service

00:31:25.600 and

00:31:26.440 and that is

00:31:27.880 utterly unacceptable

00:31:29.380 and what is infuriating

00:31:30.660 there was nothing

00:31:32.300 in the hearing yesterday

00:31:33.220 that suggested

00:31:34.960 they've changed

00:31:35.840 what they've done

00:31:36.500 so

00:31:36.780 if they're relying

00:31:38.040 on local law enforcement

00:31:39.200 for important security

00:31:40.500 and yet

00:31:41.460 they have no way

00:31:42.520 to communicate

00:31:43.320 with local law enforcement

00:31:45.380 about what they're seeing

00:31:46.600 it is fundamentally

00:31:48.080 ineffective

00:31:48.800 and

00:31:49.140 and the most important

00:31:50.500 question is

00:31:51.200 what are they doing

00:31:52.580 to prevent

00:31:54.420 this from happening

00:31:55.960 again

00:31:56.600 and there was

00:31:58.020 zero answer

00:31:59.080 to that question

00:31:59.860 in the hearing yesterday

00:32:00.760 final question

00:32:03.260 on this

00:32:03.820 and somebody

00:32:04.880 sent this to me

00:32:05.680 earlier today

00:32:06.100 and I'm just going to

00:32:06.660 read it the way

00:32:07.260 it was sent to me

00:32:07.900 it says quote

00:32:08.500 it's sad that we live

00:32:09.480 in a country now

00:32:10.440 we're a hard

00:32:12.280 working

00:32:13.020 regular guy

00:32:14.540 who goes to work

00:32:16.200 from 7 in the morning

00:32:17.280 till 9 o'clock

00:32:18.640 at night

00:32:19.160 8 o'clock

00:32:20.020 put in 50-60 hour

00:32:21.260 week

00:32:21.680 will quote

00:32:23.060 face more

00:32:24.240 professional consequences

00:32:25.740 for sharing an offensive

00:32:26.940 joke online

00:32:28.660 than the unelected

00:32:30.180 bureaucrats

00:32:30.980 tasked with protecting

00:32:32.280 our president

00:32:33.040 will face for almost

00:32:34.820 getting the leading

00:32:35.720 candidate killed 0.99

00:32:36.880 now

00:32:37.760 according to the

00:32:38.900 acting secret service

00:32:39.740 director

00:32:40.140 he admitted to you

00:32:41.240 guys yesterday

00:32:41.960 that no agent

00:32:43.360 assigned to the

00:32:44.260 Trump

00:32:44.620 July 13th rally

00:32:46.400 has been fired

00:32:48.320 and in fact

00:32:49.160 there's only

00:32:50.180 the secret

00:32:50.980 the head of the

00:32:51.880 secret service

00:32:52.260 that was forced

00:32:53.060 to resign

00:32:53.460 after a horrible

00:32:54.340 display on Capitol

00:32:55.180 Hill

00:32:55.460 but it doesn't

00:32:56.660 seem like there's

00:32:57.240 been any other

00:32:57.740 accountability

00:32:58.360 and that's sad

00:32:59.640 isn't it

00:33:00.180 it's infuriating

00:33:02.460 so as best I can

00:33:04.240 tell in in almost

00:33:05.380 four years of Joe

00:33:06.580 Biden Kamala Harris

00:33:07.580 being in the White 0.67

00:33:08.180 House

00:33:08.480 not a single

00:33:10.080 person

00:33:10.580 has been fired

00:33:12.200 from any job

00:33:13.260 whatsoever

00:33:13.660 you have the

00:33:14.880 disastrous

00:33:15.520 Afghanistan

00:33:16.200 withdrawal

00:33:16.740 it was an

00:33:17.380 absolute debacle

00:33:18.280 it was embarrassing

00:33:19.200 it undermined

00:33:20.380 the U.S. military

00:33:21.240 it led to the

00:33:22.120 deaths of 13

00:33:23.020 servicemen and

00:33:23.740 women 1.00

00:33:23.960 nobody was fired

00:33:25.420 there was no

00:33:25.980 accountability

00:33:26.460 you have here

00:33:28.040 the first

00:33:29.440 shooting of a

00:33:32.220 president 0.94

00:33:32.760 presidential candidate

00:33:34.500 a former president

00:33:35.540 since 1981

00:33:37.380 since Ronald Reagan

00:33:38.360 nobody was fired

00:33:40.080 like in any

00:33:40.880 sane world

00:33:41.620 the director

00:33:42.140 of the secret

00:33:42.520 service would

00:33:43.060 have resigned

00:33:43.520 that day

00:33:44.040 in any sane

00:33:45.080 world

00:33:45.480 the president

00:33:46.100 would have

00:33:46.520 fired the

00:33:47.060 director

00:33:47.360 of the secret

00:33:47.720 service

00:33:48.040 but there's

00:33:48.680 no accountability

00:33:49.340 now you

00:33:49.860 now have the

00:33:50.760 acting director

00:33:51.580 and one question

00:33:52.240 you asked me

00:33:52.880 at the beginning

00:33:53.940 of this pod

00:33:54.500 should the acting

00:33:56.200 director be fired

00:33:57.400 and I'm going to

00:33:58.340 say I don't know

00:33:59.200 I think the proof

00:34:01.300 is in the pudding

00:34:01.960 so on one level

00:34:05.080 the acting director

00:34:06.720 whom I don't know

00:34:07.420 personally

00:34:07.880 but he's been

00:34:09.760 a long time

00:34:10.560 career secret

00:34:11.380 service agent

00:34:12.500 and officer

00:34:13.200 his answers

00:34:15.540 demonstrated

00:34:16.380 massively more

00:34:17.920 candor

00:34:18.460 than the old

00:34:21.260 director

00:34:21.660 the old

00:34:22.060 director was

00:34:22.620 handpicked

00:34:23.160 by Joe Biden

00:34:23.880 and Jill Biden

00:34:24.580 I believe the

00:34:25.760 old director

00:34:26.300 was there

00:34:26.960 she used to be 1.00

00:34:28.760 on Joe Biden

00:34:29.600 secret service

00:34:30.260 detail when he

00:34:30.880 was vice president

00:34:31.580 I think they

00:34:32.160 handpicked her

00:34:32.940 because they

00:34:33.880 wanted the

00:34:34.540 secret service

00:34:35.240 to cover up

00:34:36.220 Joe Biden's

00:34:37.340 massive 0.61

00:34:38.200 mental decline

00:34:39.960 and so they

00:34:40.660 put her in

00:34:41.260 that place

00:34:41.920 as a political

00:34:43.320 decision to

00:34:44.100 protect his

00:34:44.700 political

00:34:45.080 vulnerabilities

00:34:45.620 that's what I

00:34:46.300 believe

00:34:46.540 but she was 0.91

00:34:48.880 and we talked

00:34:49.420 about this in a

00:34:50.020 prior podcast

00:34:50.680 when she did

00:34:51.660 on all senators

00:34:52.800 briefing she

00:34:53.480 stonewalled

00:34:54.280 she would not

00:34:55.060 answer any

00:34:55.540 questions

00:34:55.960 she said they

00:34:56.480 did everything

00:34:56.960 perfectly

00:34:57.580 except for the

00:34:58.720 fact that the

00:34:59.160 president was

00:34:59.600 shot

00:34:59.840 and by the

00:35:00.800 way to be

00:35:01.140 clear

00:35:01.460 had the

00:35:03.760 bullet been

00:35:04.380 a half inch

00:35:05.280 to the left

00:35:06.180 Donald Trump 0.99

00:35:08.860 would be dead 0.99

00:35:09.380 today

00:35:09.700 she described

00:35:11.460 this as a

00:35:12.040 success for the

00:35:12.920 secret service

00:35:13.520 it's not a

00:35:14.560 success

00:35:15.060 it is

00:35:16.840 I think God's

00:35:18.240 providence

00:35:18.680 I believe God

00:35:19.460 turned

00:35:20.260 Trump's head

00:35:21.720 but we came

00:35:23.800 within a half

00:35:24.600 inch of the

00:35:25.240 history of the

00:35:26.100 world being

00:35:27.140 changed that

00:35:28.220 day

00:35:28.540 so compared

00:35:30.680 to the former

00:35:31.400 director

00:35:31.900 the acting

00:35:33.480 director

00:35:33.960 is at least

00:35:35.640 admitting they

00:35:36.180 screwed it up

00:35:36.720 they did

00:35:37.020 something wrong

00:35:37.660 he has some

00:35:38.720 modicum of

00:35:39.340 candor

00:35:39.640 here's my

00:35:40.160 answer in

00:35:40.660 terms of

00:35:40.980 whether he

00:35:41.300 should be

00:35:41.620 fired

00:35:41.940 how does

00:35:43.820 he answer

00:35:44.320 the questions

00:35:46.020 for the

00:35:46.340 record that I

00:35:47.020 and other

00:35:47.300 senators ask

00:35:48.020 him

00:35:48.180 I believe

00:35:49.260 the secret

00:35:49.700 service needs

00:35:50.420 radical

00:35:50.880 transparency

00:35:51.620 among the

00:35:53.300 questions I'm

00:35:53.940 asking also is

00:35:54.800 how many

00:35:55.140 threats are

00:35:55.680 directed right

00:35:56.380 now in the

00:35:57.140 last year

00:35:57.700 against Donald

00:35:58.800 Trump how

00:35:59.220 many threats

00:35:59.700 directed against

00:36:00.380 Joe Biden

00:36:00.880 how many

00:36:01.520 threats are

00:36:02.300 directed against

00:36:02.900 the first lady

00:36:03.440 now to be

00:36:03.780 clear all

00:36:04.640 three need to

00:36:05.260 be protected

00:36:05.840 I'm not

00:36:06.340 saying that

00:36:07.720 that Joe or

00:36:08.480 Jill Biden

00:36:08.980 should not be

00:36:09.540 protected but

00:36:10.140 one of the

00:36:10.620 public press

00:36:11.180 reports is on

00:36:12.560 the day of

00:36:13.140 the Butler

00:36:13.500 rally they

00:36:14.100 pulled members

00:36:15.460 of Trump's

00:36:16.020 security detail

00:36:16.760 and put them

00:36:17.360 on the first

00:36:17.840 lady's detail

00:36:18.660 now I don't

00:36:20.400 know this but

00:36:21.620 secret service

00:36:22.240 does but I'm

00:36:23.620 going to venture

00:36:24.160 a guess that

00:36:24.900 the number of

00:36:25.680 threats

00:36:26.260 against Trump

00:36:28.540 versus against

00:36:30.220 the first lady

00:36:31.040 it is at

00:36:33.380 least a

00:36:34.340 hundred X

00:36:35.080 and it

00:36:35.340 wouldn't

00:36:35.620 surprise me

00:36:36.240 if it is

00:36:36.660 a thousand

00:36:37.400 X that

00:36:38.780 I think

00:36:39.740 Donald Trump

00:36:40.380 is the most

00:36:40.900 threatened person

00:36:41.780 on the face

00:36:42.320 of the planet

00:36:42.840 and if it

00:36:44.820 is the case

00:36:45.700 it is all

00:36:46.400 the more

00:36:46.840 indefensible

00:36:47.620 that the

00:36:48.600 secret service

00:36:49.300 political leadership

00:36:50.220 would not

00:36:51.020 provide sufficient

00:36:52.500 agents to

00:36:53.180 keep him safe

00:36:53.780 and I'm

00:36:54.860 asking them

00:36:55.600 how many

00:36:56.280 threats against

00:36:56.860 Trump

00:36:57.220 how many

00:36:57.840 threats against

00:36:58.420 Joe Biden

00:36:58.960 how many

00:36:59.600 threats against

00:37:00.180 Joe Biden

00:37:00.700 we'll see if

00:37:01.340 they answer

00:37:01.940 that you know

00:37:03.100 based on the

00:37:03.760 testimony I'm

00:37:04.500 skeptical that

00:37:05.080 they will

00:37:05.420 as many of

00:37:07.440 you know I

00:37:08.100 am a huge

00:37:09.120 advocate for

00:37:10.020 God-given

00:37:10.620 second amendment

00:37:11.180 rights and

00:37:11.740 without carrying

00:37:12.540 a firearm I

00:37:13.540 would not be

00:37:14.260 here today I

00:37:15.660 had to use my

00:37:16.340 gun to protect

00:37:17.000 and defend my

00:37:17.760 life in an

00:37:18.540 actual shooting

00:37:19.220 and it is

00:37:20.680 something for

00:37:21.420 me that I say

00:37:22.380 all the time to

00:37:23.280 people

00:37:23.600 make sure you

00:37:24.580 can protect

00:37:25.240 and defend

00:37:26.140 yourself I

00:37:27.200 want to tell

00:38:37.740 Senator finally

00:38:39.700 I want to move

00:38:40.540 to some of this

00:38:41.220 breaking news

00:38:42.180 and it is a

00:38:43.580 important moment

00:38:44.700 that's happening

00:38:45.420 in the Middle East

00:38:46.040 right now

00:38:46.600 Israel is doing 1.00

00:38:48.640 everything they can

00:38:49.420 to protect their

00:38:50.260 people and

00:38:50.980 they're also

00:38:51.660 having success

00:38:53.340 at taking out

00:38:54.340 terrorists and

00:38:55.700 terrorist leaders

00:38:56.580 that have been

00:38:57.480 orchestrating many

00:38:59.020 of these attacks

00:39:00.260 on Israel

00:39:01.320 including taking

00:39:02.120 out someone

00:39:02.640 in Iran

00:39:04.100 in Tehran

00:39:04.940 well that's

00:39:06.320 exactly right

00:39:07.000 and they're two

00:39:07.520 huge stories

00:39:08.620 in terms of

00:39:09.860 the war in

00:39:10.640 Israel

00:39:11.080 the war

00:39:11.760 against Hamas

00:39:13.020 and against

00:39:13.440 Hezbollah

00:39:13.880 one story that

00:39:15.200 broke

00:39:15.600 late

00:39:17.040 this afternoon

00:39:19.620 and evening

00:39:20.100 is a story

00:39:22.340 IDF kills

00:39:23.320 Hezbollah 0.69

00:39:23.700 commander

00:39:26.600 children's soccer

00:39:27.400 field

00:39:27.800 and this is

00:39:29.640 a Fox News

00:39:30.240 story that's

00:39:30.820 being reported

00:39:31.320 everywhere

00:39:35.400 is unconfirmed

00:39:36.140 by Hezbollah

00:39:57.100 fire a rocket

00:39:58.000 in northern Israel
