A TOTAL failure by the Secret Service! They were alerted and yet they failed to act in time.
But this creep says they did a "wonderful job"! Unbelievable ignorance!
by design
The local law enforcement weren't properly trained for such a responsibility. The SSA were just plain incompetent. I hope that they weren't the SSA's at the NATO Summit. 🙄
Why didn't they communicate before the shots?, the Secret Service Sniper unit had their lenses on the Assassin.. WHERE WAS THE NEAUTRALIZE ORDER !! Why was it delayed !!??
@@robertfitzgerald3432 All very valid questions!
I am confused. The Secret Service perimeter is 200 yards. The building is 400 feet away. 200 yards is 600 feet. Why is that building not within the Secret Service perimeter?
AGREED
They don't know math
@@fredwilliams3049 they really don't give a f***
High School quarterbacks can throw a football 80 to 90 yd
It's humanly impossible to move on a Sloped roof.
6:44 Female agent can't even find her gun holster. 🤦♀
That’s agent Fumballina 😎
Not politically motivated? Are you kidding?
No .
"May not be politically motivated". How can you seriously suggest that? Like they chose to hit Trump as a random choice?
As a former Secret Service one has to be as apolitical as possible.
@@brav0wing Rubbish, once an Agent leaves the Secret Service they have every right to express any opinions they may have. Other former Agents have condemned this as the disgrace it is.
@@brav0winglol where exactly are you getting that from junior?
@@arkcon714 Once a former Secret Service becomes political in public situations ( like interviews) then his whole career as an SS agent gets into question.
His political views may have interfeered with his job in the past.
Get it?
@@harryricochet8134 Calling the SS disgrace in protecting Trump is one thing.
Getting into what motives the shooter may have or have not is another thing.
Can't you see the difference?
Interesting. A rally attendee 4 years ago said there were snipers on every rooftop yet now even more heated regarding Trump and there are almost 0 snipers at this rally. Go figure...
Yes, I saw that. He commented on how safe that he & his daughter felt. This was a disgraceful debacle.
The secret service did a very poor job.
Can't be trusted based on reports.
Right, and the years of great service by the secret service has been undone by one mistake. Since when did peopel get this ridiculous idea that there are jobs and organizations that are immune to mistakes? Get off the internet and think
@@patrickwhite4449Actually ever since they instituted DEI its been a gong show. Three little women running around bumping into each other one can't reholster her weapon looking like the three stooges is the result.
@@patrickwhite4449let me guess, trump planned this on himself right?
@@patrickwhite4449time for you to get off the internet gramps
@patrickwhite4449 dude you have no idea about this type of work. No, they failed point blank. I did this job in the military and there's no such thing as mistakes. If there are mistakes the person or persons go to trial, then jail.
Absolutely sickening.
Excuse me!? "May not" be politically motivated!?
the secret service knew he was on the roof and did nothing they should resign
Why was that woman by Trump even there? She wasn't even tall enough to shield Trump. How ridiculous!
Maybe - dare I say it - Trumpy didn't want his brave face hidden.
@@Raina6465There is that…..but I doubt Trump chooses who is on his detail. Maybe when he was president but now he’s fortunate to have a detail.
You need to explain why the perimeter surveillance team failed
I disagree this this expert because the secret service did NOT do an outstanding job in this instance.
Heck naw it was awful
The Chief of the secret service is more like Alejandro mayorkas
Diversity hires.
Incompetence at the highest level.
What a clown.
The three female Secret Service agents were panicking. We all saw it.
How can the secret service protect him when Trump is taller than most of the agents protecting him?
Trump is barely 6ft, and he was supposed to slouch & go with them, as he well knows. Instead, he kept them in direct harm's way while he was looking for his shoes with the lifts. His shoes! Imagine he'd stink up that limo something awful.
OK genius - it's all obviously TRUMP'S FAULT, HUH?!!😵💫🥴
Wack-a-doodle You!!
@@NunchucksHabit what is wrong with you ?
@@NunchucksHabitYou made a valid point up until the last sentence. Couldn’t resist letting the vitriol out 😂
"Covering and evacuating the President", the secret service lady was a foot shorter than the President?
Diversity hire.
Seemed afraid for herself
I wasnt really shocked.
There was a huge watertower right behind the shooter overlooking everything. Why was there no spotters up there?
AGREED
Lazy security all round.
Secret service diversity hires...YOU"RE FIRED!
Safe to say that there are now openings for jobs at the Secret Service and the local PD.
Depends if who gets elected.
Your guest is a Joke
..a bad joke! In fact, insultingly bad!
Service failed
Biden calling for an investigation is like telling a kindergarten child to help.
Lmao
Still questioning the political motivation behind the act? Really? Trying to salvage the Democrat side, I see.
What is your determination? Is he a moderate liberal?
@Rational:
Can’t stop spewing the hate I guess…
@@markdennison8326 What hate? Who's spewing hate?
The kid was a registered Republican wearing a gun activist shirt. Try dealing with the facts for a change.
They said it was out of their security area. They should already know what went wrong.
This guy's just babbling
Waiting for the investigation means the coverup of excuses.
Incompetence or intentional?
or neither ?
No way this happened without inside help.
TRUE
Let this be a very very important lesson to the secret service!
They'll try to explain this as incompetence rather than corruption.
Lack of funding, is one explanation so far by one of the female ss officers@imbubbajones
Absolutely politicly motivated. You would have to be absolutely stupid not to know that.
Why was their a ladder there and how did this kid know to go there it makes you wonder whats going on.
This guy is just making excuses for the total failure of the security service ….
Why was the shortest agent at the front, the most exposed area? Complete ineptitude.
This interview in a subliminal manner wanted me to go to KFC for a 2 piece meal.
😂😂
This is terrible
Horrible Violence against Trump in Pennsylvania
Horrible Violence by Trump on January 6th.
@@DjWellDressedMan was that the so called “insurrection “ where nobody had a gun?
@@saxonthegermanshepherd2809
Facts and Reality Say:
"Two years after the January 6 disaster, evidence continues building that numerous extremists went to Washington that day armed with guns, tactical gear, and other weapons."
"The final report from the House select committee on January 6 and court documents from federal prosecutions contain further evidence of Trump supporters who showed up with weapons and violent intent."
I'm sure since the FBI is investigating that they will come back and say it's Trumps fault for having an outdoor rally. Case closed.
Secret Service dont know their ass from their elbow.
The Secret Service is miserable.
How did the gunman smuggle the rifle in, scaled the building and positioned himself under the govt snipers? Very odd.
Did the Uvalde cops become ss?
‘They’re the best agency in the world that does this’ evidently not. Also-says who? America?
Local police would only be responsible if the city was paid to provide extra coverage.
He owes police forces across the country for protection at his rally’s going back to 2015. I wonder if payment upfront was requested but refused by the campaign.
How did the shooter know to go on that roof and the roof did not have agent posted
Total failure of the security to not lock down the perimeter before Trump arrived
The secret service failed. Everyone who sees this knows it.
When did the Secret Service recruit this homeless Santa?
New Secret Service Director is hiring based on DEI principles. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Inept or complicit ??
Im astounded he managed to get that close . The guest does have a resemblance to Harland Sanders.
Homeless Santa lol
Sirhan Sirhan wasn't an assassin.
5:31 I can't believe what I'm hearing. Maybe it's impossible for the clown show that was there that day. And the Secret Service that was there that day definitely wasn't the best team in the world. Haiti's presidential security is better than that team.
6:12 why was it important to pick up a cap and expose the ex president? She’s too short to even be there. ??!!
LSD + MK Ultra. Exhibit: Charles Manson and his Family.
Thank you Sir Sincerely
Santa claus with rotten teeth.
The podium was intentionally build aligned in the line of sight ?
DEI hires. DEI= DOA.
Secret Service Sucks!
This is lot of garbage talk
This secret service guy was serving Obama also and before. Same team members.
Well, that explains things.
" Crazy doesn't need a reason."

The only conspiracy is Beaver County ESU covering up their cops leaving their posts
Strange. He says the SS team did a “wonderful job” but then mentions some of the serious security short comings. I’m thinking he is demonstrating bias for his previous employer. Need the facts & wise unbiased objective opinions. This is very bad on many levels.
From when 1930 ?
Kim Cheatle NEEDS TO RESIGN!
She claims it might not be politically motivated? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Oh Canada. You’ve become the laughing stock of the of North America if not the world.
Redirect the conversation
Patsy can't talk!
3:39 to 3:41 I guess his bigger brain was telling him it was going to ricochet right back at him
Trump should have hand-picked Marines secure all future venues 72 hours before all rallies and stay there on post leaving each individual post only when replaced by a Secret Service agent.
What a Waist.
The 2 short ladies identified as 6ft 5in men so they put them on the team
What a joke !! 🫣
Temu Kenny Rogers here is useless
this guy looks like tank abbott
Controlled apathy
l had no ldea Colonal Sanders was a Secrete Service Agent. 😮
Worthless interview
Cia
I wonder how he feels about Trump stopping them from leaving stage because he wanted to take a picture
😂
Wild Goose Chase
Wait. Was Biden attacked, too? When did that happen?
?
@gordonlynn8300
At 0:47 he said
"Overall, I think the shift did a wonderful job of covering and evacuating the president."
Since Trump is s not the current president, who else could he be referring to?
Horrible Violence against Trump in Pennsylvania

@@dfouchongshut the hell up
You mean stock market empress, Pelosi.
Trump Probably cut in on the Secret Service budget cut down on a capacity for specialist
Actually, Biden did.
But continue to blame the victim
