Sloped Roofs: Secret Service Director Resigns

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
There are some days I'm just notmotivated to go to the gym. I
would feel much more apps to beworking out on those days if I had
some equipment at home. So shebought this really cool like set of like
adjustable dumbbells and like you can likeput it on a barbell and stuff.
And we don't have the basement clearedout of the old carpet that's covered in

(00:20):
water still, and so we gotto get that removed. But that's going
to be where we kind of putlike that equipment. So I went outside
and try to do a little pumpand try out this new weight set.
I did it outside. It washot, Yeah, it was really hot.
Did you blast some like new metalearly two thousands new metal? No,

(00:41):
but that would have been a goodaddition to the scene. Little puddle
of mud while you're cranking iron outside, a little huba stank, Yeah,
there it is. Yeah, yeah, I get a little stank on it.
Yeah. So yeah, no,it's warm out there, but you're
right, so it's good to haveit this way and not the other way

(01:02):
around. I don't need the cold. Hey, I have to I have
to tell you this this thing rightof this this secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle
because she goal she go so manypeople just disappearing. No. Police Commissioner

(01:22):
of Pennsylvania, Christopher Paris, madea statement during his testimony yesterday, and
I wanted to start with him becausewhat's the one thing that we heard as
to why that roof was not coveredby somebody because it was sloped bingo.
Well, in this House Homeland SecurityCommittee meeting yesterday, Christopher Paris, who

(01:47):
was the Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner,also testified and he says he was who
technically oversaw state and local law enforcementthen their partnership and whatever whatever conversations that
were being had between them and theSecret Service as well. And this is

(02:07):
today's right. So like yesterday,Kimberly Cheadle did her testifying and testimony and
whatever, and she was gone bythis morning. But this is how this
conversation went. I don't have theaudio, but I'll just explain this to
you. Michael Guest, who isa representative from Mississippi Republican. He says
the Secret Service director, prior toresignation, said she did not put anybody

(02:29):
on the roof because it had aslope proof that would have created a safety
concern. I was in Butler,Pennsylvania yesterday with many members of this committee.
My fellow member Carlos Menez, whowas seventy years old, and there's
a video of him easily tray traversingon the roof, walking across the roof,
even though he is some fifty yearsolder than the shooter. So my
question is you agree with the assessmentof the former Secret Service director that the

(02:51):
roof was so sloped that it createdsafety concerns. And then Christopher Parris,
Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner, said,I cannot agree with that. So I
have the video of some of thevideo here of Carlo Samanas. I decided
to look it up. Let's seeCarlo Samenez, Let's see him walking around
there. So I found the videothat he took himself. He's filming himself

(03:13):
while he's walking around on this roof. So this is what he said as
well. He said, what reallybothers me and the reason I got up
on the roof I'm seventy, wasfor the director to say, well,
the steepness of the roof won't allowSecret Service agents to be up there.
I could run around on that roofall day long. You got the X
Files music. Yeah, all right, fire that bad boy up, fired

(03:37):
up. So if it was toosloped for a Secret Service agent, then
why did they have snipers on evenmore slope proofs that were at higher pitches.
I didn't know how my pro tractorout. Why did they have that

(03:57):
out with their guns capable of firingand taking out a shooter which is how
they got him. It was asteeper roof, And how would they know
whether or not it was a safetyconcern for them to be on that roof
if nobody tried to get on it, something reeks of I don't know,

(04:26):
something reeks of excuses. And maybeif this, and I have to preface
this, I do believe this.It is possible that there's just a complete
oversight. But I have to tellyou if they put me and you can
kill the X Files, I wantthe people to know this is accurate.

(04:48):
If I was in charge of thesecurity detail between the Secret Service and the
local law enforcement at an outdoor eventin a place like this, the first
thing I would do is figure outthe perimeter. What's our perimeter? And
how are we going to secure theperimeter? How are we going to know
who's coming in, who's not comingin. It's the same stuff that they

(05:11):
do on the freaking highways that themotorcade drives down. I think I've told
you this little story about when Ilived in Des Moines. There was a
big holea balloo of a presidential candidatecome into town. And maybe it was
Trump while I was a president Ican't remember. I lived in a place

(05:32):
next to Interstate two thirty five,which is next to Interstate eighty and connected
to eighty. If you're coming fromthe west, you're coming from eighty and
then you kind of it turns intotwo thirty five. Basically at that confluence
of those highways is a little overpassthat I have to drive on above the
highway to get from one like theshopping center on this side of town where

(05:58):
I was, I had to crossthat overpass to get to my place.
They had the overpass secured for themoving motorcade. You couldn't even drive on
it, right, Yeah, theyhad it secured for like thirty minutes.
I couldn't get across that overpass forlike a half hour. I had to
go all the way around. Sowhy is that, you think? Probably
because the high ground is the mostimportant part outside of whatever perimeter you're trying

(06:23):
to set up. The high ground'sthe most important spot to secure. So
outside of getting that perimeter, thefirst thing that I would think of is
I need to secure every high pointwithin our perimeter, even this stuff that's
not necessarily in our perimeter, butyou can see inside our perimeter from those
high spots. I need people onthose high spots. Yet here is something

(06:44):
not barely a football field away,well within everyone's eyesight with a straight perspective,
in point of view from the stageitself, that is completely unmanned or
unwomaned. Oh thanks, sorry,don't want to get canceled, right right,
okay, so can somebody It's tendays out, this is ten days

(07:05):
ago. It's ten days and I'mstill having the question of what intarnation is
anybody in charge of security thinking thatthis is unmanned or unwomanned. And a
guy a twenty year old, nota twenty year old like Navy seal,
not somebody who's a trained assassin fromanother country, not somebody who has spent

(07:30):
a ton of time in military operatives. Somebody who has absolutely zo, like
absolutely zero formal training as far aswe know about shooting a rifle. In
fact, not three years ago,was unable to make his high school's rifle
team right, and he's the onethat outsmarted the Secret Service and local law

(07:54):
enforcement placed a rifle in AR fifteenin plain sight on this roof that nobody
was on and was able to goback retrieve it. You use it to
shoot people from that high spot inthe middle of a presidential rally. This
is unprecedented, never happened before.Any possibility that Obi wan Kenobi is available

(08:16):
because he knows how important the highground is. Count me, Obi wan
Kenobe, You're my only out.That's a Star Wars reference. The high
ground didn't help the what is itcalled the Death Star or whatever. It
didn't help the dust. It alsodidn't do Anakin Skywalker any good. Yeah.
I feel like a lot of peoplein that in that series didn't do

(08:39):
well from the high ground, butalas neither did this guy eventually, but
he still was allowed to take whatfive or six that the Secret Service they
said it was just seconds before thatthey had recognized that he was a threat.
Yet we hear local law enforcement sayingthat they were they had noticed him
and were trying to detain him forthirty minutes. It's insane. Yeah,
the videos you see, what arewe talking about here? YEAHI there are

(09:01):
people with more intelligence about what happenedthere that were three beers in there to
hear Donald Trump and just happen tobe able to see him from twenty feet
or not twenty feet, like twentyyards away. And I have people who
are in apparently the greatest security groupin the history of mankind, the Secret
Service of the United States of America, and they and local law enforcement can't

(09:22):
figure out that he's there with anAR fifteen. I have something to ask.
Yeah, this just occurred to me. Okay, okay, if this
was a setup, I don't thinkit was personally, and that's okay,
you can you can preface that.But if it was a setup, yes,
this was a setup. Yeah.Don't you think that it would have
been so severely botched by all thosepeople recording this guy slowly scooting his way

(09:46):
across that roof that they would haveradioed to him to bail. I'm saying
that if this was I'm saying thatthis was so botched that it's hard to
even say this could have been asetup. Because he's the organization wasn't even
in place to potentially do this.Now, Like to people who are saying
this is a setup, this isa setup. Don't you think if it
was, they would have been,like, all these people at the rally

(10:09):
have spotted you. I think youneed to bail. Yeah, yeah,
well, I can tell you what. His life didn't last much longer after
that, and they took him out. But he got five eight shots off.
I don't know. We'll talk moreabout some of the details here,
but it took the police Commissioner ofPennsylvania to say, oh, yeah,
by the way, that roof isnot is not highly sloped. I had

(10:31):
a seventy year old college Samanez,the seven year old representative from Florida walking
around up there and said he couldhave been up there all day, give
me a break. He was Radioeleven ten KFAB and Marie's songer on news
radio eleven ten KFAB. Based onthe pictures from Rob, Rob says this
about this roof, based on allthe pictures, appears to be a two

(10:52):
out of twelve or perhaps a threeout of twelve. An average Omaha house
built in the last sixty years willhave a four out of twelve, like
mine, being fifty years old andhaving had lots of foot surgery and spinal
stimulator implant, I could easily geton my roof and clean my own gutters.
The roof shown where the sharpshooters werewas of the similar pitch by the
way houses in your neighborhood. Myneighborhood, rob knows where I live,

(11:13):
tend to be six out of twelveor steeper. So I got very steep
roof apparently, But yeah, okay, so it's not steep. We noticed
that it's not steep, And Igotta tell you that there's just all sorts
of stuff going on in uh,in my head about you. Don't I
don't think you could possibly like anybody, who's to say, Like, dude,

(11:35):
I'm telling you that, Like,who's to say if you're in the
Secret Service, you're one of thoseagents, or even if you're Trump or
one of Trump's people, don't youshow up and are you asking like how
are we securing this outdoor space?Or is nothing of this kind of thing?
Has It's not happened for decades wheresomebody had a weapon and fired at

(11:56):
a dignitary like this that you justkind of like nobody thought about it,
like that'll never happen. It'll neverhappen, right, Is that what happened?
Like did we just fall asleep onthis? Because that's the only thing
that can kind of make sense,is that literally all of these people if
I was if I was in chargeof the campaign and I had worked with

(12:18):
this particular venue to have an outdoorrally again, and I have to I
hate that we're still talking about this, but we're talking about this stupid roof
still. I am going to goup there. I'm gonna stand on the
stage. I'm gonna stand where thestage is going to be, and I'm
going to be like looking around.How are people going to be able to
see the candidate? And how arepeople going to be like looking directly at

(12:41):
from me, directly at these buildingsand point at them and say, is
somebody going to be there? Issomebody going to be there? Are you
guys gonna have somebody there? Ifeel like that's something that I would I
would request that. Okay, tellme where all of the security people are
going to be from the from theroof, right like from the highest point,
from the from the high ground aswe were saying, and darn it,

(13:05):
I just I cannot believe that nobodyasked those questions. And here's okay,
and here's my other thing, Matt, And again, I we don't
need the X file scene, butI'm just throwing spitballs out here. It
isn't weird for Donald Trump to beon the stage and nobody around him is
even like noticing that there's like anunmanned building somewhere, and they didn't even

(13:28):
secure like the bottom of the building. It was like anybody could have like
just walked up and stood on theroof of the building. Imagine if somebody
just wanted to go up there andwatch. Don't you feel like that would
be the kind of thing that assoon as somebody just like, oh,
there's a ladder here, I'm gonnajust guy climb up the ladder and stand
on this roof and watch Trump fromthis football field of wag and still here
and I can see everything. Thismight be kind of cool if I did

(13:50):
that. Don't you think that wouldbe the kind of thing that I'd be
taken out immediately or I'd be detainedimmediately, they would, and you'd and
you'd be like, oh, Iwas just up here to watch. I'm
a big fan, and they wouldhave said, no, I can't do
that for these reasons, and yeah, but it's not secure. Nobody's secured
to building. I don't know,man, my brain is breaking over this

(14:11):
thing. If you can't tell,I just cannot believe that they're still having
to have that conversation. But anyway, Kimberly Cheetle, if you haven't heard
the news, and I know claimBuck talked about it, she's gone,
she gone. I don't know ifthat answers all of our questions though,
because she didn't answer questions. Infact, her biggest reason as to why
that wasn't secured it was the roofslopeage. And I think we all are
like, that's absolutely insane. Howis somebody who's using that as an excuse?

(14:33):
Right? This is like if I'mif I decide to sit it out,
sit out like fifteen minutes of myshow, like I just you know
what, it's okay. I don'tneed to be on from three forty five
to two to four o'clock. It'sfine, and I'm just not there.
I'm gonna have to answer for thatand be held accountable. And then I
come back, and I have theexcuse of just like, well, my
throat got a little scratchy and Iwas burping a lot because of what I

(14:56):
was drinking, and so I justlike thought it was okay not to be
on the air at all. No. Yeah, you're so responsible to do
your job. And she absolutely wasan abject failure in organizing whatever this was,
and under her leadership, in herdirection, something like this was allowed
to happen. We need a lotmore answers. Herb resigning, I don't
know gives us the answers, butthey certainly somebody needed to be held accountable

(15:18):
for this failure. Two twenty nine. All right, we'll keep we'll keep
the show a roll in here,but I'm gonna give away two tickets right
now. Light in the mood andtry to get myself a little distracted from
my just I don't know. Idon't like thinking like this. I don't
like thinking about conspiracies. But gosh, man, something's something's really wrong about

(15:41):
the way that this happened. We'regonna talk Barry Manilo right now. I'm
going to take the I don't knowhow tall is a roof, Like,
I don't know, forty feet doyou want to do Barry Manilow's height?
What's very menials because the roofs canbe any height. That's true. Was
Barry Manilow's height? How tall isBarry Manilow? Where is it? Yeah?
We weren't ready for this? Howtall? Oh? How about that?

(16:03):
Hey? Guess five eight taller sixsix feet he's six foot all right,
six feet six feet in inches?Is seventy two inches seventy two seventy
second collar. Seventy second caller isgoing to get two tickets to go to
see Barry Manilow on the thirtieth ofthis month, that is only seven days
away, a week from tonight.Call us now four h two five five
eight eleven ten, four h twofive to five, eight to eleven ten,

(16:25):
and the seventy second caller will winthe tickets. Here on news radio
eleven ten KFAB. Oh, Mauricesong on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
All right, here you go.Honey Creek founded in the eighteen sixties when
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway was extendedto that point. The community took its
name from nearby Honey Creek must bea real creek. A post office was
established in eighteen sixty eight, remainedin operation until it was discontinued in nineteen

(16:49):
ninety. Honey Creek's population was twentyone in nineteen oh two, in one
hundred and nineteen twenty five. Thisshows it literally right up against the un
right up against the Nebraska border.So the more you know, Matt,
did you know this? Did youknow that there's a little place called Honey
Creek right next door? I've heardabout Honey Creek. Well, you didn't

(17:11):
say that earlier. You made mejust sound like an idiot. Just I
did not. I believe I notifiedthat I had heard of Honey Creek,
Iowa. I didn't know it's unincorporated, But that just means it doesn't have
a post office, right, itdoesn't have an active post office now,
but it does have a zip code. So there you go, and it
does have a winner of Barrymanlow Ticketthing. Go. By the way,

(17:32):
speaking of winner, if you wantto be a winner of our cash contest
that is going on just this week, this is the last week for it.
If you want to get a winner, or we want to get a
winner, we want you to bethe winner. All you got to do
is put the keyword green, gR E and green. Put the keyword
green in at kfib dot com.There you go. You'll have a chance
of one a thousand dollars in nationy keyword contest. All right, so

(17:52):
we're looking at the resignation of KimberlyCheetle, but also looking at the viability
of Kamala Harris is the potential runningor candidate to oppose Donald Trump. And
of course there was a Quinnipiac UniversityPaul Quinnipiac pop quiz. Where's Quinnipiac University
located? Oh, that's in Quinnipeamanor up there in south central Pencil,

(18:18):
Indie. Aa Ohio, I haveno idea Connecticut. Oh yeah. Anyway,
it was done over the just lastcouple of days, so it's a
pretty quick one. But when it'shead to head, who do you think
wins Trump versus Hairs? Only thosetwo, I'll say Trump by a hair.
Trump by a hair is correct fortynine to forty seven percent. Again

(18:41):
with the margin of air of theof the whole survey, that's within the
margin of air. So now what'sit look like? What do you think
happens? Because that is forty nineto forty seven. The other four percent
of people that didn't pick one orthe others say they don't have a preference
currently. Again, it's just kindof more important where those people are located

(19:04):
in, what states they and howthe state polling is going, more so
than just a nationwide polling. Butit gives you an idea of kind of
how people are seeing the two race, the race when you add the third
party candidates. What do you thinkit looks like after that the stats?
Yeah, with the percentage as faras like who has how much or what

(19:25):
the difference is? Uh? Yeah, I mean, who do you think
wins? Once we had third partycandidates, I'll say Trump by a hair
Trump by a little more than ahair forty five to forty one. And
of the independent of third party candidates, RFK Junior has the most supportant.
How much in percentage does he have? Forty five to forty one, which
is a total of eighty six fourteenso out there, so we got fourteen

(19:48):
percent hanging out there. I'll saythat RFKA Junior gets a solid eight percent
of six. Oh okay, that'sdown. It's getting worse and worse for
him. It was like fifty percentpretty regularly four or five months ago.
I tell you, when you're notincluded in the debate, it immediately takes
the viability out of the campaign.It it does, it blasts the oxygen

(20:12):
right out of the campaign, andyou're left just kind of flapping around in
the wind. There's no way anindependent candidate, when not invited to be
on a debate stage, is neverThey're never gonna win, They're never gonna
have a chance to win, They'renever gonna have a chance to really make
that big of a difference. Now, you can make the argument to me
that a third party candidate receiving sixpercent of the vote or even eight percent

(20:33):
of the vote, while nowhere closeactually winning, it's still going to make
a huge difference. However, that'shalf of the support in this case,
forty percent of the support that wewere seeing pretty regularly, not all that
long ago, before the debates werekind of put together. It's I think
it's a cry in shame that ourAmerican political system and the networks that want

(21:00):
to house these things really basically justthrottle it all down into two political parties.
All these people are compliant in thatit's so much easier to win against
one person than it is to winagainst a third party or a fourth party
or a fifth party, and everybody'streated the same, just not how we
do things here. Apparently, youngvoters, young voters eighteen to thirty four,

(21:30):
Okay, eighteen to thirty four,those are young voters, don't you
think? Don't you think? Eighteento thirty four? Those are the people
that are either newly voters or thepeople of a generation that we think or
just kind of maybe misled a littlebit. And the Democrats are usually really
good at winning there. What doyou think? What do you think it
looks like between Kamala Harris and DonaldTrump in the eighteen of thirty four ahe

(21:52):
bracket, I'll say Kamala probably takesthat one by how much? Two percentage
points up? Wins it? Okayby nineteen percentage points, Okay, by
nineteen percentage points. The Republican iswinning in young voters in this poll by
nineteen percentage points. And that's QuinnipiacQuinnipiac University. I what the Republican is

(22:15):
winning in this poll, a legitimatepoll, by nineteen points among young voters.
The Democrats cannot win without winning youngvoters. There's no way, there's
no way. Who's feeling the economythe most right now? You got you
darned Tutin. You you darned Tutin. And you know what if I was
You know how much money I wasmaking when I became a full time professional

(22:37):
for the first time, like tenor eleven years ago, you know,
my first full time salaries. I'mnot ashamed to say this. You're ready
for this. Some I'd guess twentysomewhere in the twenties, twenty three thousand
dollars a year. Yeah, andI was working, you know, fifty
sixty hours. I know, Idon't want a sob story, but you
know, single, not married yet. I didn't have anything other than my
own bills. I could scrape bythat way in a very small town,

(22:59):
which is where I was living.But if you just do the math,
there are people that are paying,like, what, twelve hundred dollars a
month for a studio apartment. Youtake twelve hundred dollars a month, take
that time twelve months, all ofa sudden, you're eating up. You're
eating up over fifty percent of yourpaycheck on just like rent, and then
you have to eat What about acar payment, right, I couldn't imagine

(23:21):
being a young person with the kindof inflated race that we're seeing in a
lot of different ways right now.I mean, they're absolutely getting zapped in
the wallet. Yet they want toscare people about Project twenty twenty five and
they expect twenty four year old personwho can't pay their bills to care about
that stuff. Incredulous. It's twoforty nine. I'll finish this thought about
the electability of Kamala Harrison maybe someof the other notes in this Quinnipiac University

(23:45):
poll. Next News Radio eleven ten, kfab Well, you know you were
talking about the hip security lady whowouldn't answer a lot of the questions and
things like that. Hcause anybody maybestopped to think about maybe she has the
conspiracy she like, maybe she's theone who planned everything. And yeah,

(24:07):
I mean, I mean nobody knows. That's a good question. Yeah.
The whole the whole roof thing tome is like somebody who would tell me
that that roof that they have alike seventy year old Carlos Simenez is on
walking around like it's nothing that somebodylike her in her position would be telling
me and trying to gaslight me andsaying that was too steep for somebody to

(24:29):
be on to protect a presidential candidate. I had. Everything's on the table,
Every possible question is on the tableabout that person, who they are
in contact with, what they like, what they did to get to the
job that they had, What aboutthat specific day. Did they just not
feel like doing their job properly?No, Joyce, I can't. Obviously

(24:51):
I would doubt that that's the case. But we have to ask the question
because if we don't ask the question, then we may never get that answer.
Exactly. Well, yeah, exactly. I mean, who knows how
she feels early about Trump? Youknow, And that's the stupidest thing I
ever heard about not being up ona building to protect somebody, right,
Yeah, it doesn't make make sense. Yeah, but that was one of

(25:12):
the thoughts that went through my hand. Maybe she had something to do with
it, Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. No, well maybe not
the mastermind, but you're clearly yousee something underlying there that somebody has something
on her. And if you don'tdo this then no, Joyce here,

(25:34):
you're right, it's worth asking thequestions, even if it if it goes
nowhere. We have more questions thananswers, and we're ten days out from
this thing happening still, so youknow what I mean her testimony to yeah
thing for anybody, Joyce, appreciateyou, thanks for listening. Real quick
favorability ratings in this poll, DonaldTrump favorability number out of one hundred is

(25:59):
what sixty two percent? Donald Trumpgetting sixty two percent favorability across the entire
I don't have I don't have nearlyenough information about what you're asking and what
are the metrics to give a goodanswer. So that's the one I came
up with, sixty to forty sixpercent. But it's the highest he's ever
scored in a Quinnipiac poll for favorability. So so basically I could have just

(26:23):
said, I mean, that's basicallywhat he got is for okay, But
but but what's the difference. Well, that's the thing. Joe Biden's at
thirty eight percent favorable, kamalat thirtyseven percent favorable, jd Vance twenty nine
percent favorable. So far now thirtyfour percent say they haven't heard enough about
him to this point. But Yeashand RFK Junior, by the way,

(26:45):
only twenty three percent favorable. Notgood for him. We got more on
the way News Radio eleven to tenkfab
