Get ready to hear It's clear as day. You can go read it right now. 3056. It is legally and administratively the secret services job to keep them alive. It is not the Beaver County, Pennsylvania Police Department or Butler County. They were kind enough and heroic enough to provide assets. That's it. That is it. If the secret service can't do its job and it wants Beaver County to do it, I'm sure Beaver County will get deputized, take the $3 billion budget, and figure out a way. Roe was like, This is, man, we told them to get up there and to cover this spot? Well, maybe you should have checked. It is unacceptable to blame these guys. It is not their job. They are there as a courtesy. They owe us nothing.There is nothing in the Beaver or Butler County Police Department guidelines that indicate that they are responsible for federal secret service protectees. I assure you, nothing. They are there as a courtesy. We should have staffed it. You've got three high points you need staff. It's not Beaver County's job.Well, you got some of it?All right, guys, do us a favor. Let me read this spot.I'm going to take a quick break.We're going to figure this out. I'm going to try to run some of this hearing live. If you don't have sound or anything, these guys are great.Just help us out here a little bit. You get where I'm going with this. You're having trouble sleeping or staying asleep. I was last night waiting for this. Trust me, I've been there. It's not just about feeling tired the next day. It's about the toll poor sleep can take on every aspect of your life.

We appreciate it. All right, let's try to pull this up. See what we got here. See if we get this hearing, and let us know in the chat. We'll be watching if you can hear this.Assassination attempt and domestic terrorism.I don't hear. Obviously, assassination attempt.Why make the distinction? What is different about that?We think it's important to cover all the possibilities here in the reality of what we're dealing with and what we've all seen, Senator. We've learned lessons from the past, the baseball, the tragic shooting at the baseball field is referenced here. We've learned a lesson from that. That was not opened properly, and we've made changes in the bureau, and it's reflected here in in terms of how this investigation is being approached with a completely open mind and inclusive of all the possibilities, including domestic terrorism.I fear that makes an investigation potentially partisan.They're telling you now, this guy's got anti-immigration.I would like to request it my July 14th.If the motive wasn't him. The motive was clear.You wanted to kill Donald Trump. You know why? You shot him in the head.He asked for all kinds of information, documentation, asked a lot of questions.You trust the FBI?My preliminary findings of July 21st and July 23rd, including timelines, a bunch of questions as well be under the Then our updated timeline dated today.Just keep your eye on it. This goes now by minute, by second. We will continue to update this timeline as more information becomes public. This is the way you do investigation.We need to find out literally second by second what happens.Yes. So the mayor public understands the truth.Without objection, so ordered. Senator Butler.Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you to both of our Chairman and ranking members for holding this incredibly important hearing critically for the American people to understand the safety and security that is being provided to our national leaders. Thank you both for being here and for, again, answering the hard questions. This is a time of, I think, heightened attention, deserveably so, not only for our national leaders, but for the teacher who decides that they're going to go and participate in their democracy or the firefighter who wants to hear the voice and vision of the potential next leader of this country. My thoughts and prayers really are with those Pennsylvania families who have lost loved ones or have been critically injured. As I offer my questions today, it would be in service to those to prevent the future. We need to do that.We need to get to the serious issues.Or someone's going incidents. But in the one question of looking backward to the event on the 13th director debate, can you just talk a little bit about how did the How did Mr. Crooks, how was he able to get an AR-15 onto the roof of that building? Does your investigation illuminate anything that we have learned to help issue before my time expires. You've talked today and in our secure briefing about the interoperability of the Secret Services counter drone capability, that it failed early on, and so it didn't catch the drone floating over the site by the shooter. First, what changes are... You've addressed this a little bit. What changes is the Secret Service making to ensure that it has backup technology? But also What efforts did the Secret Service undertake to coordinate with other law enforcement regarding anti-drone capability at the rally site?We're working to determine that right now, Senator. We're getting the redundancies in place. It's been two weeks. Tenra UAS Authority, it is a little complex. It's not complex. State and locals don't necessarily have this ability to do that. It does require coordination with the FAA because it could impact commercial. So coordinate with the FAA.Okay, thank you. Mr. Chair, I'm just going to follow up. I think one of the things that you're hearing from a lot of folks, but I'm not sure we're really clear on yet, is how is it that somebody who clearly is arousing concern from law enforcement isn't identified as suspicious, and how is it that that information doesn't get to the former President It's detail. I'll follow up in writing. Thank you.No follow up in writing. Get the answer today. What do you mean you'll follow up? He still hasn't answered it.Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Director Roe, can you explain why the shooter's drone worked?Because there was no counter UAS present, sir.Yes, there wasn't.Well, you had a drone system, but you had bandwidth problems. The bandwidth, apparently, was adequate for the shooter's drone, but not for the Secret Service. Can you threat, but then he shot our guy in the head. But we're good. We're going to get it right next time. Is that his take?Wouldn't that have been the appropriate way to deal with it?Senator, it certainly is one way to do it. This is a challenge, it's not working.Senator Alshaf, we recognize for your questions.Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you both for your testimony today and for your service.Mr. Roe, I We're going to begin discussing Secret Service staffing and the extent to which HSI or other personnel are augmenting or backfilling inadequate secret service capacity.Come back to me.This is the same question before.Generally, and on the day of the assassination attempt.Secret Service can't say, We don't have enough people, and then say, We're putting a president and former president out there, and we don't have enough people.Then get more people or pull your people from investigative work and put them on protection. None of this is complicated. Folks, he doesn't want to answer either this basic question.Having done this line of work, it is the detail leader's job that day to be reaching out to the site agent who should be checking in with the locals to say, Are we clear?You get this thing called the sit rep, a situation report. The situation report should always end with all clear, come on in. What's the problem here? It was not all clear. They were working a threat. They keep saying, was suspicious, but not a threat. When it was a threat, acknowledging they made a faulty threat assessment because the guy killed someone and shot President Trump in the head. If you can't make threat assessments, then let's get someone in there who can. All of this bullshit about, Well, we weren't being communicated with... Let me tell you a quick story. I was at Martha's Vineyard once with Obama.He was golfing with Bloomberg.I'm the lead advance. It's my site. The entire trip is mine. The boss's name The boss's name at the time, let's just call him Vinnie.That's not his name, but whatever.The boss, the special agent in charge of Barack Obama's detail when he was President, let's call him Vinnie, is reaching out to me about an air threat. He asked me a thousand 1,000 times. Hey, where is it? Is it coming in? Is it low and slow? You want an air threat to be coming in high and fast. It'll blow right over you. You don't want it low and slow. Where is it? Where is it? What are we doing? Are we launching the combat air patrol? We wound up doing it. We mitigated the threat. He was asking questions. You noticed that none of this happened? There was no back and forth in communications whatsoever? Was the detail involved? Was the site agent involved? If they weren't, their job is to assess It was a threat, a threat they clearly failed at assessing from moving it to suspicion to an actual threat, which it was. They failed. Folks, I want you to watch this. Can you run that video, the long one?Just V-O it for a few minutes. I want you to just keep the sound going? You don't want to... Yeah, this one.I want you to listen to this. This is like two minutes. Just play it on VL. Do you understand, even if they blew everything for 90 minutes and failed to assess this guy as a threat, which he was- There's somebody in this building. There There are people in the audience and cops looking for this guy. As Donald Trump is on stage, he still hasn't been shot. Listen, there is no reason for him to have not been pulled off the stage. Zero. You failed. At this point, this has clearly gone beyond suspicion to a threat. Listen, got a guy on a horse here coming by with a Trump flag.A bag, a woman, whatever.Trump's still talking. You can see the cops looking for this guy. This is Dave Stewart of Butler, PA's video.The cell phone was confiscated recently returned. This is a new video.You hear Trump still talking?I want you to listen to this.Government service comes right after- No question at this point, you got a threat.Still going.Look at the cops now. You see them running?They know they got a problem. Look at this. Listen.Make yourself small, bro.I don't know what's going on. Make yourself small.Everybody knows there's a threat here. Make yourself small because he doesn't want to get shot.There's Dave Smith.Now, you... Folks, I just played this video for two minutes before gunshots rang out. You're still telling me this person was still just suspicious and not a threat when everybody including the police and the crowd at the site. The crowd is saying, make yourself small, the guy to his daughter or his friend or whatever, because they realize something bad is going to happen, and Donald Trump is still sitting out there. Isn't it the job of the detail and the site agent on the ground to be asking questions about what's going on with the threat? Well, the cops got somebody on the roof. Holy shit, we better get President Trump off the stage. Folks, this video is the most damning piece of information we have left.I'm going to cover more of this on the radio show later. Folks, I hope you appreciate me taking this live, given the severity of the situation. I feel like us and a few other reporters out there are the only ones really demanding answers. I'm going to cover this more on the radio show in a little bit. Please go back and listen to all that for live commentary. Download the Rumbel app. Please follow us, rumble. Com/bongino.

It's clear as day. You can go read it right now. 3056. It is legally and administratively the secret services job to keep them alive. It is not the Beaver County, Pennsylvania Police Department or Butler County. They were kind enough and heroic enough to provide assets. That's it. That is it. If the secret service can't do its job and it wants Beaver County to do it, I'm sure Beaver County will get deputized, take the $3 billion budget, and figure out a way. Roe was like, This is, man, we told them to get up there and to cover this spot? Well, maybe you should have checked. It is unacceptable to blame these guys. It is not their job. They are there as a courtesy. They owe us nothing.

[00:15:15]

There is nothing in the Beaver or Butler County Police Department guidelines that indicate that they are responsible for federal secret service protectees. I assure you, nothing. They are there as a courtesy. We should have staffed it. You've got three high points you need staff. It's not Beaver County's job.

[00:15:36]

Well, you got some of it?

[00:15:39]

All right, guys, do us a favor. Let me read this spot.

[00:15:42]

I'm going to take a quick break.

[00:15:44]

We're going to figure this out. I'm going to try to run some of this hearing live. If you don't have sound or anything, these guys are great.

[00:15:49]

Just help us out here a little bit. You get where I'm going with this. You're having trouble sleeping or staying asleep. I was last night waiting for this. Trust me, I've been there.

[00:17:00]

Assassination attempt and domestic terrorism.

[00:17:03]

I don't hear. Obviously, assassination attempt.

[00:17:05]

Why make the distinction? What is different about that?

[00:17:08]

We think it's important to cover all the possibilities here in the reality of what we're dealing with and what we've all seen, Senator. We've learned lessons from the past, the baseball, the tragic shooting at the baseball field is referenced here. We've learned a lesson from that. That was not opened properly, and we've made changes in the bureau, and it's reflected here in in terms of how this investigation is being approached with a completely open mind and inclusive of all the possibilities, including domestic terrorism.

[00:17:38]

I fear that makes an investigation potentially partisan.

[00:17:41]

They're telling you now, this guy's got anti-immigration.

[00:17:43]

I would like to request it my July 14th.

[00:17:45]

If the motive wasn't him. The motive was clear.

[00:17:47]

You wanted to kill Donald Trump. You know why? You shot him in the head.

[00:17:50]

He asked for all kinds of information, documentation, asked a lot of questions.

[00:17:53]

You trust the FBI?

[00:17:54]

My preliminary findings of July 21st and July 23rd, including timelines, a bunch of questions as well be under the Then our updated timeline dated today.

[00:18:03]

Just keep your eye on it. This goes now by minute, by second. We will continue to update this timeline as more information becomes public. This is the way you do investigation.

[00:18:11]

We need to find out literally second by second what happens.

[00:18:15]

Yes. So the mayor public understands the truth.

[00:18:19]

Without objection, so ordered. Senator Butler.

threat, but then he shot our guy in the head. But we're good. We're going to get it right next time. Is that his take?

[00:34:22]

Wouldn't that have been the appropriate way to deal with it?

[00:34:26]

Senator, it certainly is one way to do it. This is a challenge, it's not working.Senator Alshaf, we recognize for your questions.Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you both for your testimony today and for your service.Mr. Roe, I We're going to begin discussing Secret Service staffing and the extent to which HSI or other personnel are augmenting or backfilling inadequate secret service capacity.Come back to me.This is the same question before.Generally, and on the day of the assassination attempt.Secret Service can't say, We don't have enough people, and then say, We're putting a president and former president out there, and we don't have enough people.Then get more people or pull your people from investigative work and put them on protection. None of this is complicated. Folks, he doesn't want to answer either this basic question.Having done this line of work, it is the detail leader's job that day to be reaching out to the site agent who should be checking in with the locals to say, Are we clear?You get this thing called the sit rep, a situation report. The situation report should always end with all clear, come on in. What's the problem here? It was not all clear. They were working a threat. They keep saying, was suspicious, but not a threat. When it was a threat, acknowledging they made a faulty threat assessment because the guy killed someone and shot President Trump in the head. If you can't make threat assessments, then let's get someone in there who can. All of this bullshit about, Well, we weren't being communicated with... Let me tell you a quick story. I was at Martha's Vineyard once with Obama.He was golfing with Bloomberg.I'm the lead advance. It's my site. The entire trip is mine. The boss's name The boss's name at the time, let's just call him Vinnie.That's not his name, but whatever.The boss, the special agent in charge of Barack Obama's detail when he was President, let's call him Vinnie, is reaching out to me about an air threat. He asked me a thousand 1,000 times. Hey, where is it? Is it coming in? Is it low and slow? You want an air threat to be coming in high and fast. It'll blow right over you. You don't want it low and slow. Where is it? Where is it? What are we doing? Are we launching the combat air patrol? We wound up doing it. We mitigated the threat. He was asking questions. You noticed that none of this happened? There was no back and forth in communications whatsoever? Was the detail involved? Was the site agent involved? If they weren't, their job is to assess It was a threat, a threat they clearly failed at assessing from moving it to suspicion to an actual threat, which it was. They failed. Folks, I want you to watch this. Can you run that video, the long one?Just V-O it for a few minutes. I want you to just keep the sound going? You don't want to... Yeah, this one.I want you to listen to this. This is like two minutes. Just play it on VL. Do you understand, even if they blew everything for 90 minutes and failed to assess this guy as a threat, which he was- There's somebody in this building. There There are people in the audience and cops looking for this guy. As Donald Trump is on stage, he still hasn't been shot. Listen, there is no reason for him to have not been pulled off the stage. Zero. You failed. At this point, this has clearly gone beyond suspicion to a threat. Listen, got a guy on a horse here coming by with a Trump flag.A bag, a woman, whatever.Trump's still talking.
