Speaker 1 (00:00):
And always count on this man to join us. Paul Yolis,
a law enforcement analyst and expert, joining us this morning. Paul,
what do we make about yesterday when President Donald Trump
was apparently under another assassination attempt at Marlogo? What are
you reading in the tea leaves here?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey, good morning, Tony, And I will tell you the
one thing that disturbs me more than anything else, and
that's a pretty large statement at this point, is the
blatant and overt internal information breach that had to absolutely
occur inside President Trump's camp. Now, this is a major issue,
so major. This is not an event that was publicized.
(00:38):
This is him playing golf, which means someone inside his camp,
someone that works for him, his security detail, told someone,
someone that has access to his calendar told someone. This
shooter had no idea he was going to be at
that golf course unless someone gave him that information. That's
number one. So the part of this investigation starts there, Tonally.
(01:01):
The second part of is, Tony, and you and I
talked about this before. We'll revisit it for your great audience,
and that is this is a blatant failure on an
advance or the preparation. That's done in concert with the
fact that we keep hearing that this is a staffing issue.
They don't have the money. They didn't give him the
detail package. Yet that conflicts with what we're told by
(01:23):
our president who says that he has instructed quote unquote
his team, which is Maiorcus, to provide both candidates everything
quote unquote they need. That goes in line with what
we know to be true that Iran's elite force, they're
called the Cuds, the elite part of the Revolutionary Guard,
(01:45):
which is state sponsored terrorism, has a hit on Trump's head.
So if they know that, right, Tony, If they know that,
how are they reverting back to say, well, we don't
have the staffing. So there are multiple things in play here.
I will tell you, Tony, but part if I'm the
lead investigated here, I'm starting with his camp, and I
(02:06):
want to know how this guy knew he was going
to be on the golf course.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Isn't it possible that, you know, with marri Lago and
everything else, somebody in his camp, to your point, just said, oh,
he's going to play golf on Sunday or whatever the
case may be. Could it just be as innocent as that,
and they're just not paying attention. They just don't a
lot of people. You know, President Trump is around a
lot of people, and he may have just been discussing it.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And you know what, Tony, I will tell you that
if it's somebody insignificant like me, I'm sure I would
go with that. But if you're talking about a former president,
you're also talking about people that are well trained and
well trained should be well trained or communication security and
information security. They know what they can say, they know
what they can't say. They know that that has to
be on secure email. They know they can't use regular chats,
(02:54):
they can't put it on social media, they can't use texts.
There are lists that we provide people, Tony when we
create secure communication lines, and it's you know, it's Security
one o one, similar to Security one oh one on
protect your perimeter. This begs the question, and you and
I spoke about this before at Butler, how is that
perimeter not controlled? Now you can say, all right, so,
(03:16):
but Tony, think about this. Right you and I are
sitting down and with strategizing and we say, you know
you're my boss, and you say, hey, man, look at
the end of the day. We just don't have enough people, Okay,
And I come back to you and I say, hey, boss, look,
we don't have enough people to put on that perimeter.
Why don't we use a drone and fly our drone
around the entire perimeter and then if we see somebody
(03:38):
pulling up to a fence line which we knew existed
was a vulnerability, and we can preemptively approach before the
person even remotely remotely gets close to the fence, must
much less prepare a long gun to fire. So the
fact they're not using the drone, what's the excuse is it?
I don't have the money, Tony. The company that I
(04:00):
use out of Michigan, more than affordable, does a great
job all former law enforcement, and they've been over backwards
to help the government. So there's no excuse why that
perimeter was breached. None.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well, it's interesting to note that the sheriff Palm Beach
County Sheriff Frank Bradshaw, had a couple of things to
say on that point, and that is, now, this had
been if President Trump had been the current president, he
would have had the perimeter you're suggesting. The other part was,
I thought Bradshaw made a mistake in my view when
(04:32):
he said, you know, while we had one or two
Secret Service members that go a hole before the president.
I mean, that's strategy to me, and I don't think
that that should have been said by him.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Bradshaw's wrong, and I listen, you call it the way
it is, right, Tony, call it the way it is.
At the end of the day, I was surprised that
he came out with that because that was just a
ridiculous statement, because he's not the sitting president. Techee Tony.
Rules of protection, so everybody understands, is the package or
(05:06):
the composition or construct of a person's detail, the amount
of people they have, the kind of people they have,
the weapons they carry, where the physician, which is called
the package. That package must be consistent with the current
or projected threat. That's number one on the checklist, Tony,
number one. So for the sheriff to come out and
(05:27):
give the same line of garbage that the US Secret
Service is given, this is insulting to Americans. This is
not a politicized message here. We're Americans. I don't care
if this is Harris or Trump. You're running for the
highest office in the land. You provide a detail that's
consistent with a level of threat. We clearly are not
(05:50):
doing that.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What do you think about this means? What this could
mean for future presidents anyway, the way that we're seeing,
I don't know, we see school shooters, those kinds of things,
where we started to see a resurgence of these kind
of people. They are going to go and try to
attack our political politicians, whether they're in office or not.
(06:12):
From here on very.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Poignant question, as always, Sony, and I will tell you
on equivocally, yes, it is part and parcel with what
we see as the metamorphosis of our societal culture relative
to conflict resolution. So we quickly move over to the
point of the why the men's rea the intent? Well,
we don't know yet. We haven't interviewed this guy yet,
which will probably end up getting the information out of him.
(06:35):
But at the end of the day, it's more than
obvious that this is disdain driven. This guy makes a
conscious effort, regardless of whether or not he's going to
go to jail or out, or whether he's getting shot.
He needs to do this. When you start preaching that
Trump is Hitler and he's the Antichrist and He's going
(06:57):
to be the demise of your financial future. And you
fill people with that hate and fear, you can expect violence.
One begets the other.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Tony he has Paul Violas, He's dedicated his career to
the protection of our country as well as the values
of businesses, and I really do appreciate you your time again, Paul, thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So much, Yes, sir, it was a president, all right.
