Well, I think it's a good thing because from an optics viewpoint, you know, when you're
00:05
talking about paring down the amount of expense and spending in the government via Elon Musk
00:10
and Doge, how do you justify the protective details and the taxpayer expense involved
00:16
with providing a level of protective detail from the Secret Service to Hunter and Ashley
00:21
Biden when there's no threat to support that?
00:24
This is incredibly expensive.
00:25
I think, though, a better way to look at this is think about the meticulous level of detail
00:30
that goes into everything that Donald Trump does.
00:33
The better question is, how is it that he was able to turn off the protective detail
00:37
for folks like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, who had significant adverse intelligence threats
00:44
directed at them and their families, yet Hunter and Ashley Biden was allowed to slide through?
00:50
Which leads me to ask the better question, did President Trump and the White House even
00:54
know that this protective detail was turned on?
00:57
Somebody needs to ask, when was the president made aware of this?
01:00
And I've got to tell you, I think this is one of the inherent problems of the current
01:04
leadership of the Secret Service, right?
01:06
They were so heavily compromised and so Biden biased.
01:10
No one's been reprimanded.
01:12
No one's been fired or forced to resign.
01:14
It's my personal belief that the leadership of the Secret Service never disclosed to the
01:19
current director of the Secret Service, Sean Curran, who was one of President Trump's first
01:24
picks, that they were providing a protective detail to Hunter and Ashley Biden.
01:29
And how would they have not done that?
01:30
I think because they said, you know what, this will be over in six months.
01:33
We're not even going to mention it.
01:35
And I think that's what happened here.
01:37
That number, that's on the low side.
01:38
That doesn't reflect the additional assets that are in place from the Secret Service,
01:42
such as advance agents, site agents, hotel agents, liaison agents.
01:48
So that 32 number for both of those details can easily become 50 or more.
01:54
Let's also keep in mind the climate in South Africa.
01:58
You're not going to put Hunter and Ashley Biden up in a five-star hotel and the Secret
02:02
Service detail is going to be 10 miles down the road at a $49 a night Motel 6.
02:08
This is incredibly expensive to maintain the level of protective detail on both Hunter
02:14
and Ashley Biden.
02:15
Not to mention, I'm sure the two of them are not traveling in coach on Iberia Airlines,
02:20
right?
02:21
They're traveling probably in business or first class accompanied by the Secret Service.
02:26
Once again, this is at the expense of the taxpayer.
