Cooks hi jon, this is exactly what we are standing weeks ago. Without us and the Trump Rally and butler, pennsylvania but it ended the former president being nearly assassinated on stage. Its going back out here again today. Coming back to butler because he said his work is far from over. But jon, this time hell be standing behind bulletproof glass. Talk to management every single Trump Rally within the front of the crowd that day when trump was a shot but he said hes happy to be here but that it is also very emotional. Listen. Is a mix you feel the excitement that you have for the Trump Rally. The realization this is going to be like no other. Speakers we have not seen before, theres a lot of things that are new and the programs are expanded. But at the same time its a solemn moment for Corey Comperatore who lost his life. And the other two individuals who are seriously injured. He is a fire crew, jersey is up there. Its overcoat we cannot forget about that. Its kind of a blend. Its a positive thing. There is a different mood here in butler, pennsylvania than last time. There is more of a rowdy atmosphere. Here they are still talking about the memory of Corey Comperatore per hes his own body sitting up there behind me too shield his family but he lost his life we know others were wounded to bring that crowd that it we expected the former president to talk about them as they remember all the chaos it unfolded. [background noises] what are you doing . What are we doing . What are we doing . That was only 12 weeks ago. Shocks ringing out the former president s upon the stage speaking. Trump fell to the ground. I remember watching in realtime thinking is he going to come back up . He did and it came back up with his fist in the air telling the public he was going to fight for america. The gunman was somehow able to climb up onto a nearby roof not far away from here and Open Fire into the crowd that day. I want to take a live look at the memorial that is in the stanza. Its honoring the life of Corey Comperatore and the others who were wounded here the volunteer firemen, Husband And Father was killed at the Butler Bra labored former President Trump will honor him today. There is a lot more that will be done as well. Listen. I had a lot of things there is definite huge failure. And i pray it never happens again. I hope they are upping their game and things seem to be nonbiased. How to fill going into this rally . Im stoked im so excited for my friend and i were sitting right behind the podium last time. We are super stoked for it were super excited for the election were really here to support Donald Trump. We know the former president has been to pennsylvania. Nearly a dozen times since you shot appear just how important the Battleground State is. It is not finished year in butler. He also says by the safest place in the country there was 12 weeks ago. Things have changed in the time but you have to wonder how he is going to feel what he does step up on that stage Alexis Mcadams thanks. The fact that pennsylvanians are showing up at a place where President Trump came within millimeters of losing his life shows the resiliency, the strength, the determination of the american people he will be there tonight with the message of unity, a message of strength, talking about how were going to say this great country. Trump campaign touting his return to butler as Unity And Strength Todays Rally is also shining a spotlight on the Security Failings that led to the shooting on July 13 for the Secret Service insists Todays Event will be well guarded. The agency put out a statement saying quote since the attempted assassination of former President Trump on July 13, u. S. Secret service has made comprehensive changes and enhancements to our communications capabilities, resourcing and protective operations printed in the former president is receiving high didnt protected. We take the responsibility to ensure Safety And Security very seriously. Lets bring in Charles Marino former Secret Service Agent Priscilla Pauling to learn that basically the Secret Service could not even talk to the local police that day. A lot of those gaps have been filled. Yes, good to see it. The failings of that day entirely unacceptable. I think from lessons learned standpoint but we will see today for this rally is an overarching Security Plan that this time is commensurate and reflects the current Threat Environment in the country. How it applies the Threat Level of the former president who, as we know is facing threats. Not just here at home but foreign adversaries like iran. That Security Plan, when appropriately designed is what drives the appropriate number of resources. Other Risk Mitigation tools that need to be put in place to keep the former president and those attending this rally safe. Jon is go back to the awful event in july. Congressman Mike Kelly who represents that part of pennsylvania. Here is what he had to say in the intervening time. July 13 we knew far before 11 minutes after 6 00 p. M. There was a suspicious person on the ground but all the thousands of people in the grounds that day there is only one person they get they kept talking about was suspicious person. My question will still go down to if you knew there was a suspicious person you could not track them, why did you at the president Go Out On . Jon so why do you think there was . Why did they allow the president to go out . Yes, it was on in adequate overall Security Plan on July 13. They did not have the necessary resources to include technology including drones. And It Communications that were collaborative with state and local Law Enforcement. What she ended up with that was a very sideload approach to what was going on with this attempted assassination. And the information not getting to the people who needed to know. Specifically the detail that surrounded and arrived at the former president that day. They were the ones that needed to known. They were the ones were ultimately going to make the decision as to whether or not the former president went up on stage. They did not have that information. So, what happened that day it goes against every single protocol, policy that the Secret Service has in terms of Communication Preparation to make sure the former president and other project these are kept safe the way they needed to be. It should never happen again. The Secret Service has to be given the resources to do the job. Jon is going to ask if all those short falls have been fixed . Some will take much longer than others. It is easy to go out and get Drone Mitigation Technologies that are available out of the market. And the Secret Service honestly should already have in place. Were talking about resourcing now, Thats Something thats not going to be achieved overnight. The Secret Service needs to come up with the most efficient and effective way to recruit The Best Of the best. Enough of these Edi Programs for the Secret Service. They are not applicable as a director of the Secret Service the individual needs to stand up and say the diversity will take care of itself within the agency. The best and brightest out there to come to the Secret Service. That is what the men and women of the agency want to hear. Thirtysix im sure they do but very quickly, charles come the Trump Campaign welcomes the extra security but also causes problems. They cannot hold some the same kind of outdoor huge rallies that they have wanted to because they simply cannot get the Secret Service protection in place. Have got to tell you that as a flag the Secret Service could not throw each and every time. Outdoor rallies are going to continue to be in essential part for the candidates. Both on the republican side of the democratic side. This on an Mba Arena or Nfl Stadium in every single town as you go out throughout the midwest for example. Theyve got to build to create these events in the Secret Service has to protect them. Thats it. Jon simple enough charles thanks for joining us. Okay jon, thanks. Jon keep it right here for the live coverage of the road beginning at 5 00 p. M. Eastern, little less than an hour from now. We wont Vice President harris is on the ground in North Carolina.
