00:00You know, none whatsoever.
00:02We've seen how good your security detail is this weekend,
00:06and the team around you are amazing.
00:08They're doing a good job, yeah.
00:10Do you have any answers yet as to what happened with the assassination attempt?
00:14Having seen them in action, it seems remarkable that that was able to happen.
00:18You mean the assassination?
00:20They just weren't as good that day.
00:22They had a bad day.
00:24They shouldn't have had a roof that was, you know, unpatrolled.
00:28They should have had coordination with the local police,
00:32because, you know, you had a lot of talk going on.
00:35You had the woman screaming, there's a man up there with a gun.
00:38And a number of people were screaming, there's a guy up there with a gun.
00:42And they didn't have — the one group wasn't hooked into the other group.
00:48I'll tell you, the Secret Service shooter, David, was amazing.
00:52Because in four seconds, it was over.
00:56And if this lunatic was allowed to keep shooting, because then they had a lot of — tens of thousands of people there,
01:03so a lot of people could have been killed.
01:05I mean, we lost a great person and two people very badly injured.
01:09But the shooter — one bullet.
01:12Think of that.
01:13One bullet from a very far distance.
01:16It's amazing.
01:17It changed you.
01:18I don't know.
01:19He was great.
01:20Do you feel like it's changed you as a person?
01:21I don't know.
01:22You know, maybe and maybe not, but it's — I like to not think about it.
01:28You know, it affects some people greatly.
01:30I can't afford to be affected because I have a job to do.
01:33So I like not to think about it.
01:35Does it not get through —
01:36I think about it too much, it's probably not a good thing.
01:39Does it not get through your mind at all on a morning like this morning when you're outside, there's a crowd and you're getting a speech?
01:43I don't think about it.
01:44I don't think about it.
01:45I don't — I think you see the kind of protection now.
01:50It's — I think they're very good.
01:51It's a whole different level.
01:53Look, these people went to Biden and Biden's people and asked for more help because I was having rallies 60,000, 70,000 people.
02:03I had 115,000 people.
02:06And Biden would have two people.
02:08Nobody wanted to see the guy.
02:10And he'd have a bigger security detail than I had.
02:13And they were asking.
02:15Sean and the various people were asking for more people.
02:18And they were denied.
02:20So they denied him.
02:22And, you know, so you could make that case.
02:24I don't think they made that case well because they — I knew for a fact that they were asking for more people a lot.
02:30And they haven't wanted — they have said it, but not that publicly.
02:34But they wanted more people, and the Biden people would not give it to them.
02:38And we had massive crowds.
02:39You know, you were there.
02:40But we would have routinely 50,000, 60,000, 70,000 people.
02:45And he would have nobody.
02:47He couldn't fill the circles, you know, the eight circles.
02:51And he didn't need very many people.
02:54And so that was — that was a problem.
