  Speaker 3: Now about this, I went to listen to me carefully.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I used to be a great prank caller when I
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: was a kid. You gotta do better. You gotta go

  Speaker 3: You gotta come up with something.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: No, I'm no prank caller. I'm just I'm just I
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: just found that. I just found that humorous before. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: about yeah, the Secret Service, I think that this guy,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: this Secret Service director Sean Kurrn, he something's wrong with
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: this guy. You know, they messed up with Butler, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: perimeter there, then there's the golf course. Then the guy
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: broken Tomorrow Lago. Now there's this So why is this
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: guy still Why does he still have his job?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Mark? Well, that's a good question.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: You got to realize every time we've had this happen,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: after it was over, you look back and say, what
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the hell, Why were you so wax? Why were you
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: so crazy? You know, the Kennedy assassination really was the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: first time where after it was over you said, why
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: would you have the president riding in an open car
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: like that you're just asking for trumpel It's so he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: so vulnerable riding around that open car. I know they
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: had that bubbletop they could put on, but you know
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: the bubbletop wasn't bulletproof. That bubbletop was really for the rain,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: not anything else. But after that was over, you realized
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: riding around in an open car, this was insane. So
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: when they built the new presidential limousines, there was no
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: way to open the top and they were bulletproof, bomb proof.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And then the next assassination was the gerald Ford two
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: assassination attempts on gerald Ford. And you look back at
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the Reagan assassination attempt you think that was crazy. Why
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: would you walk President Reagan out into the driveway where
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: there's a million people standing around him and walk them
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: past that crowd like that? Why don't you know you
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: look nowadays they take him through a tent you can't
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: see him, or they pull the car like inside the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: garage and he gets in in there and this White
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: House Correspondents dinner, this has been going on for years, decades,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: decades in that ballroom. And now you look back and
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: you say, well, this was crazy. You haven't it in
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a hotel that's open with a thousand people staying upstairs
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: that haven't been screened. It's crazy. But nobody ever thinks
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: of all this stuff ahead of time. But it's just
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you know, now when the president, you ever see this
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: presidential limousine, this videos online, it'll show you in detail
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: what's in there. It's bomb proof, it's bulletproof. It can
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: launch missiles. It can literally launch missiles. It can withstand
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a poison gas attack. You know, when you're in that beast,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: you can't open the door. In fact, the other day
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: President Trump and Missus Trump went to the car and
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: he got in and she got in. On the other send,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: people were saying, well, why didn't he open the door
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: for you can't open the door. In fact, the door
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: it's so thick and so bombproofed. The door weighs almost
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: three hundred pounds. So when you're riding in the Beast,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the Secret Service will say to you, don't try to
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: open the door yourself. We'll open it for you. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: it's like two burly Secret Service guys have to open it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Dennis in Boundbrook. Dennis, how you doing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning, Mark, Yeah, Mark. My question is this
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: with regards to the shooting in Washington. This guy had
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a room with the hotel. Supposedly, let's say his room
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: was facing the street. Couldn't he just go to his
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: window since there's no security, he's got guns and start
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: shooting people like fish in a barrel, And yeah, wouldn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: have been stopped right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Very good point. You know, there was a white House
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Coursepondent a few years ago where they were Palestinian supporters
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and as the press approached the hotel hanging out of
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the windows, these protesters rented like ten rooms in a
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: row on one floor, and they were able to unfurl
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: an enormous Palestinian flag in front of the hotel for
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: everybody to see as they walked in. I mean, it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of people. About two thousand people come to
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: this dinner. That's why it's in the Washington Hilton, because
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: it's the only ballroom big enough in DC to get
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: two thousand people in there. Now people say, well, want
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: they cut it down to like six hundred or so.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: The real purpose of the dinner. All the big news
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: organizations take a table. Washington Post takes three tables, Fox
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: News takes three tables, four tables. The NBC takes four
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: or five to the real reason they take these tables
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: is to invite their advertisers. It's a big perk for
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the advertisers you bring them to the dinner. So that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: why they can't cut it down. That's why it's two
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: thousand people. Every news organization wants to bring fifty advertisers
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to the dinner. Now, Bill O'Reilly was there in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: room right near where the gunshots happened, so we'll talk
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to him next. He can tell us what really happened
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: there that night. We'll get to that in a second.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: On seven to ten, wor
