Speaker 1: Charge into summer with twey and secure your holiday today
0:04
Speaker 1: with deals for families and adults flying from your local airport.
0:07
Speaker 1: Holiday sorted Twoey deesusy Supply.
0:11
Speaker 2: Here's a tweet that I saw this weekend from the
0:13
Speaker 2: Coal Parker. Laura, FBI special Agent Schwarzenberger paid the ultimate
0:21
Speaker 2: sacrifice executing a search warrant in Sunrise, Florida, the morning
0:25
Speaker 2: of February twenty second, I should say twenty twenty one.
0:30
Speaker 2: She left behind her husband and two young sons, and
0:34
Speaker 2: Nicole devoted an entire chapter in her great book, The
0:37
Speaker 2: Two Fbis. She's been on the show talking about that
0:39
Speaker 2: book quite a bit. It's great. Laura was a woman
0:43
Speaker 2: of faith with God at the focal point of her life.
0:46
Speaker 2: Her integrity was unmatched. She is the epitome of FBI.
0:51
Speaker 2: You will never be forgotten. I miss your lots. I'll
0:54
Speaker 2: see you on the other side. Nicole Parker so here
0:58
Speaker 2: she is the author of that great book, The two wepbis,
1:01
Speaker 2: and former special aidents out of Miami, now a superstar
1:04
Speaker 2: on Fox News. Nicole Punker. Nicole, I'm just curious for
1:07
Speaker 2: folks that don't know, because that was twenty twenty one,
1:11
Speaker 2: and it occurred in February. So what motivated you to
1:15
Speaker 2: tweet that out on a May date in twenty twenty six?
1:18
Speaker 3: This weekend, because last week was Police Week, and that's
1:23
Speaker 3: when we honor our fallen heroes in law enforcement. And
1:27
Speaker 3: so last week is a special week that's designated for
1:31
Speaker 3: heroes like Laura and others that paid ultimate sacrifice in
1:34
Speaker 3: the line of duty as law enforcement officers. And so
1:39
Speaker 3: you know, every week people come together in Washington, d C.
1:42
Speaker 3: I had the honor and privilege of going a couple
1:44
Speaker 3: of years ago and seeing Laura's name on the memorial
1:48
Speaker 3: the memorial wall, and you know, it's a very it's
1:52
Speaker 3: a sacred wall. It's something that I honor and respect
1:56
Speaker 3: very deeply. I'm so grateful, said, I know that you
2:00
Speaker 3: and I feel the same that we now have a
2:02
Speaker 3: president once again who honors and respects our law enforcement.
2:06
Speaker 3: He backs the blue. And I would like to personally
2:09
Speaker 3: tell you that President Trump was not in office when
2:14
Speaker 3: Laura was killed. That was under the Biden administration. And
2:17
Speaker 3: I think it's important to note that the type of
2:19
Speaker 3: warrant that she was executing was what we call a
2:22
Speaker 3: VICAC violent Crimes against children. It was a child predator
2:25
Speaker 3: who was doing child pornography, a very dangerous individual, and
2:30
Speaker 3: those of us in law enforcement understand that those types
2:32
Speaker 3: of individuals probably have the highest propensity to violence because
2:36
Speaker 3: when these child predators get caught, they know they're going
2:38
Speaker 3: away for a very long time. At least under jurisdictions
2:41
Speaker 3: like the Southern District of Florida. In California, they tend
2:44
Speaker 3: to not care about child predators, but in Florida it's
2:47
Speaker 3: taken very seriously. And under the Biden administration, Laura and
2:53
Speaker 3: the operation that morning was provided no SWAT support. Zero.
2:58
Speaker 3: Laura herself as a former SWAT operator, so she was
3:01
Speaker 3: a very highly tactical agent. She could hold her own.
3:04
Speaker 3: But that morning there were no SWAT resources, no protective equipment,
3:07
Speaker 3: nothing that was necessary in order to protect their lives.
3:11
Speaker 3: But said, during the same timeframe, under the Biden administration,
3:15
Speaker 3: this is when they were going full throttle against Trump
3:17
Speaker 3: supporters for January sixth non violent misdemeanors, and so the
3:22
Speaker 3: FBI was liberally sending SLOT resources across the country to go,
3:27
Speaker 3: you know, bang down people's doors who had walked into
3:30
Speaker 3: the Capitol and taken a picture that is an incorrect
3:33
Speaker 3: use of a type of resource at this but for
3:37
Speaker 3: Laura's operation, Laura's operation going after the most dangerous and
3:41
Speaker 3: violent no SWAT support, and so I never understood that,
3:46
Speaker 3: and I was not okay with that, and I believe
3:48
Speaker 3: it was truly political. They were using SWAT sources to
3:52
Speaker 3: intimidate individuals, to intimidate Trump's supporters to go after January
3:55
Speaker 3: sixth misdemeanors. But when it came time to really protect
3:58
Speaker 3: our agents, no SWAT, nothing, no protection at all. And
4:03
Speaker 3: I believe that her life would have been saved if
4:05
Speaker 3: they'd been given proper protection that morning. And so it's
4:08
Speaker 3: not just that she paid the ultimate sacrifice, because we
4:11
Speaker 3: all know when you sign up to the in law enforcement,
4:13
Speaker 3: you take the oath, you have the gun and the badge,
4:15
Speaker 3: and you know that your life could be taken to
4:17
Speaker 3: any moment. That's the risk, but there's also an expectation
4:20
Speaker 3: that the bureau that you're working for is going we
4:22
Speaker 3: to do everything that they can to give you the
4:24
Speaker 3: proper amount of protection to protect your life. And they
4:27
Speaker 3: did not do that that morning for Laura. So I
4:30
Speaker 3: believe that this is entirely preventable. It did not happen
4:34
Speaker 3: under Trump's watch. But President Trump this year, on the
4:38
Speaker 3: five year anniversary of her being murdered in the line
4:42
Speaker 3: of duty, took the time out of his busy day.
4:44
Speaker 3: And it was on a Sunday afternoon. It was when
4:47
Speaker 3: a man had come to mar A Lago with a gun.
4:50
Speaker 3: It was when Mexico was on fire with all the cartels.
4:53
Speaker 3: It was also the day that the men's hockey team
4:55
Speaker 3: won the gold medal in the Olympics. So there was
4:58
Speaker 3: a lot going on on the day that he took
5:00
Speaker 3: time out of his busy schedule, and he personally called
5:04
Speaker 3: Laura's husband and said that he appreciated Laura's ultimate sacrifice
5:09
Speaker 3: and that she would never be forgotten. And her two
5:12
Speaker 3: young sons that they left behind. He also left a
5:14
Speaker 3: special message for them as well. And that is who
5:17
Speaker 3: President Trump is, and that is why I am so
5:21
Speaker 3: grateful that he is here. Because he backs the blue
5:23
Speaker 3: He backs the solid men and women of the FBI
5:27
Speaker 3: doing the heavy lifting, and he genuinely cares about the
5:30
Speaker 3: one and no one ever talks about this. He does
5:33
Speaker 3: it quietly behind the scenes. I just know because Laura's
5:37
Speaker 3: husband personally told me. He said Nicole, You're not going
5:39
Speaker 3: to believe this. I just got a phone call from
5:41
Speaker 3: President Trump thanking me for Laura's ultimate sacrifice, and that
5:46
Speaker 3: goes a long way.
5:47
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Absolutely. My buddy Tom Kanniff checks in,
5:50
Speaker 2: the brilliant attorney. He of course represented that Daniel Penny,
5:53
Speaker 2: many many clients, but Daniel Penny's the most famous. He says,
5:55
Speaker 2: I've got January six clients who had flash bang grenades
5:59
Speaker 2: thrown into the children's bedrooms during those FBI raids. But
6:03
Speaker 2: you heard Trump there with me last week, and so
6:06
Speaker 2: many people, people that I really love and respect. Greg Wan,
6:09
Speaker 2: I'm Kelly here so critical of the Secret Service. The
6:13
Speaker 2: last time this guy tried it was a ridiculous plan.
6:16
Speaker 2: It was actually stupid. For a guy that everybody describes
6:19
Speaker 2: us so smart, it was a stupid plan. It was
6:20
Speaker 2: never going to work. But nevertheless he gave it a
6:22
Speaker 2: shot at the hotel in DC a couple of weeks ago.
6:26
Speaker 2: And that's a true story too. The next morning I
6:29
Speaker 2: spoke to President Trump be a text about seven thirty am.
6:32
Speaker 2: He got back to me in two minutes, and he
6:33
Speaker 2: thanked the Secret Service. Other people say, wow, that's just Trump,
6:37
Speaker 2: Like you just said, Nicole, he loves to back the blue,
6:40
Speaker 2: he loves the people that protect him. But the truth
6:43
Speaker 2: is they're not doing a great job. What are your
6:46
Speaker 2: thoughts about that?
6:49
Speaker 3: You know, again, I said, Trump exercises I think an
6:54
Speaker 3: exorbitant amount of grace. Because the way that he graciously
6:58
Speaker 3: thanked the Secret Service for protecting his life that night
7:00
Speaker 3: of the White House courts wond his dinner, I think
7:02
Speaker 3: was quite incredible because many of us who are very
7:06
Speaker 3: protective of the President thought that, you know, the Secret
7:10
Speaker 3: Service needs to step it up, that that shooter should
7:12
Speaker 3: have never even been even that close to President Trump.
7:15
Speaker 3: But what after happened, you know, after what happened on
7:18
Speaker 3: July thirteenth with Butler Pennsylvania, where President Trump miraculously was saved.
7:22
Speaker 3: I mean, we know that that was by the grace
7:25
Speaker 3: of God. I know that for a fact. I think
7:26
Speaker 3: President Trump knows that for a fact he could have
7:29
Speaker 3: been taken office or it's just like Laura took one
7:31
Speaker 3: fult rifle round to the head and she was done.
7:34
Speaker 3: President Trump turning his face saved his life. I believe
7:38
Speaker 3: that was divine intervention. But I have to say that
7:41
Speaker 3: after that experience, the fact that he never saw the
7:45
Speaker 3: shooter the night of the White House courts wond a sinner.
7:48
Speaker 3: You know, he never broke into the ballroom. I think
7:50
Speaker 3: that's Trump sees that as a success. You know, obviously
7:54
Speaker 3: after what he dealt with, having a bullet grazed his
7:56
Speaker 3: face in his ear. I think, I don't want to
8:01
Speaker 3: say this negatively, but it almost sets the bar kind
8:03
Speaker 3: of low that that's what he's accustomed to. He's accustomed
8:05
Speaker 3: now to knowing that his life could be taken at
8:07
Speaker 3: any moment. But the thing about President Trump, he never
8:11
Speaker 3: backs down. He has no fear. He wanted to get
8:14
Speaker 3: back on the stage at that dinner, and the Secret
8:16
Speaker 3: Service in law enforcement were like, that's not a good idea.
8:19
Speaker 3: Let's follow it security protocols, Let's not do that. The
8:22
Speaker 3: guy's relentless, just like Don Butler gets up, fight, fight, fight,
8:26
Speaker 3: and he's a true inspiration to all of us. We're
8:28
Speaker 3: not going to back down. We're not going to live
8:30
Speaker 3: life in fear. But I also do think that the
8:33
Speaker 3: Secret Service and those that were on the protection that night,
8:37
Speaker 3: the fact that the magnetometer was coming down before the
8:39
Speaker 3: event had even started, the fact that the dog had
8:42
Speaker 3: gone near that stairwell near the door. You know, the
8:46
Speaker 3: word is complacency, and I think that's what happened in
8:48
Speaker 3: the morning that Laura was killed. I think there was complacency.
8:51
Speaker 3: When you're a Secret Service agent, it is high pressure.
8:54
Speaker 3: We know that they are working around the clock, is
8:58
Speaker 3: high burnout, are expected to travel all around, they are
9:02
Speaker 3: separated from their families, They're standing at posts for twelve
9:04
Speaker 3: hours at a time. There is no room for failure
9:08
Speaker 3: and so it needs to be taken very seriously. They
9:10
Speaker 3: need to hire the best of the best. But every
9:12
Speaker 3: time you're on duty, whether you're Secret Service, HSI, FBI, DEA,
9:17
Speaker 3: especially Secret Service, you have to assume that while you're there,
9:22
Speaker 3: there's someone attempting to assassinate President Trump at every single
9:25
Speaker 3: moment of the night, day, whatever it might be. You
9:28
Speaker 3: can never ever take your eye off the ball. You
9:31
Speaker 3: cannot let your guard down, and you've got to be
9:33
Speaker 3: ready to go. And we stay in law enforcement, you know,
9:37
Speaker 3: we have to be good. The bad guys just have
9:39
Speaker 3: to get lucky. When you're firing a shot. You know
9:41
Speaker 3: the fact that the shooter was never even shot when
9:44
Speaker 3: the agents trying to shoot at him. And I get
9:47
Speaker 3: that because it's high pressure. That's why the training is
9:50
Speaker 3: so important. When it comes down to those high pressure situations,
9:53
Speaker 3: it's muscle memory. And you know, like we say, for
9:57
Speaker 3: the bad guy, they just have to get lucky. For us,
9:59
Speaker 3: it has to be a precisioned And so you know,
10:02
Speaker 3: I do I think that the Secret Service is taking
10:04
Speaker 3: another look at this and saying, what can we do
10:06
Speaker 3: to extend perimeters? What can we do to be more vigilant?
10:09
Speaker 3: What can we do? They're always looking for improvements, and
10:12
Speaker 3: that is the key said. Anytime you have something like this,
10:15
Speaker 3: there has to be an after action review what went
10:18
Speaker 3: wrong and how are we going to fix it? And
10:20
Speaker 3: that's the other problem. I had a Laura situation under
10:24
Speaker 3: Christopher Ray and the Biden FBI. There was no after
10:27
Speaker 3: action review for two and a half years after that happened.
10:31
Speaker 3: It was as if they just shoved it under the rug,
10:33
Speaker 3: didn't want any accountability. No one even knew what happened,
10:37
Speaker 3: and to this day, her husband does not have a
10:39
Speaker 3: clear understanding what happened to his wife that morning. And
10:41
Speaker 3: again let's keep in mind two agents were killed, three
10:44
Speaker 3: others were shot. That is unacceptable if you're not learning
10:47
Speaker 3: something from your failures. It's going to continue to happen
10:50
Speaker 3: over and over and over, and if there's no accountability,
10:54
Speaker 3: it will continue.
10:55
Speaker 2: Great a couple more minutes, you know, you're bringing up
10:57
Speaker 2: the FBI. This is a Nicole Palker, former's special FBI
11:00
Speaker 2: agent down in Miami. He's got a great book out,
11:03
Speaker 2: the two Fbis. Go read it, trust me, it's great.
11:05
Speaker 2: Trump loves it. So to why she's on Box News
11:08
Speaker 2: all the time. I think I hear Dan Bongino a
11:11
Speaker 2: couple of times already come out with quotes that I
11:15
Speaker 2: think I read in your book. I'm just saying, Dan,
11:17
Speaker 2: I think I read some of that stuff in on
11:19
Speaker 2: Nicole's book. But I want you to be honest with me. Okay,
11:22
Speaker 2: this FBI right now under a cash battel. He comes
11:25
Speaker 2: under a lot of fire and he comes under buyer.
11:28
Speaker 2: I will tell you from even Trump supporters. I got
11:30
Speaker 2: guys in this building who work with the FBI that
11:33
Speaker 2: you know, they kind of shoot their eyes up and
11:35
Speaker 2: I ask about cash battel. So be honest here, Nicole,
11:38
Speaker 2: how do you think the FBI is running now with
11:41
Speaker 2: cash for the Trump administration?
11:45
Speaker 3: Well, I think that after what we went through, it's
11:49
Speaker 3: clearly detailed in my book. The FBI was in a
11:53
Speaker 3: very very low place when I left under the Biden administration.
11:56
Speaker 3: I literally walked away because I saw no chance of
11:58
Speaker 3: it improving. I didn't know who was going to win
12:01
Speaker 3: the election in twenty twenty four. Because I left in
12:04
Speaker 3: the end of twenty twenty two. I think that what
12:08
Speaker 3: he walked into is an absolute disaster zone. I think
12:12
Speaker 3: that it's going to take a substantial amount of time
12:14
Speaker 3: to fix it. But I do believe that the key
12:17
Speaker 3: is to keep your eye on the ball and not
12:19
Speaker 3: be distracted with these side shows and give no reason
12:22
Speaker 3: for anyone to come after you and attack you. Keep
12:25
Speaker 3: your eye on the mission, get the job done. There
12:28
Speaker 3: is so much to be done over there. I think
12:29
Speaker 3: that they have made some great moves and getting rid
12:33
Speaker 3: of individuals that really should not have been there, certain
12:36
Speaker 3: people that have politically weaponized the FBI. I think they
12:39
Speaker 3: have a long way to go, but I think what's
12:41
Speaker 3: most important right now is that those inside the Bureau
12:45
Speaker 3: have to have trust and confidence in their director. And
12:48
Speaker 3: while the director is what I call FBI one, the
12:51
Speaker 3: good agents and staff, FBI two are the politically weaponized,
12:55
Speaker 3: not good they're the bad side of the FBI. That
12:57
Speaker 3: does not make us proud, whereas FBI one is Laura
13:00
Speaker 3: Schwarzenberger's of the FBI, who are doing real solid work.
13:04
Speaker 3: They're amazing people there. But basically the director has to
13:08
Speaker 3: have the trust and confidence of FBI one and build
13:11
Speaker 3: up that morale while simultaneously obliterating FBI two. And if
13:15
Speaker 3: you don't have the support of the rank and file, frankly,
13:19
Speaker 3: nothing else matters because they're the ones actually on the ground.
13:22
Speaker 3: They're no boots on the ground doing the work, and
13:24
Speaker 3: they've got to have confidence in the director. And I
13:27
Speaker 3: think the key is to keep your eye on the
13:29
Speaker 3: ball and not get wrapped up in all of these
13:31
Speaker 3: side shows that are you know, don't give the left
13:35
Speaker 3: wing media frankly, are just obliterating right now and trying
13:39
Speaker 3: to go after the FBI and the director. Frankly, it's
13:42
Speaker 3: not really the FBI like they're actually going after the director.
13:45
Speaker 3: Let's make that clear. In the past it was the FBI. No, No,
13:48
Speaker 3: they have problems with what's happening. But the key is
13:52
Speaker 3: to give them no wiggle room to work with, give
13:55
Speaker 3: them nothing to even make stuff up about, you know,
13:58
Speaker 3: like just keep your eye on the ball, keep focusing.
14:00
Speaker 3: Stop the terrorists, stop the violent crimes, stop the human trafficking,
14:04
Speaker 3: and don't feed anything that they're saying. If you know
14:06
Speaker 3: that it's not true. Just keep fowing forward and keep
14:09
Speaker 3: your eye on the mission and keep going. And so,
14:13
Speaker 3: you know, let's see what happens. I know that it's
14:15
Speaker 3: it's a very daunting task. It's a thankless job. But
14:18
Speaker 3: the key is to have You've got to have the respect.
14:20
Speaker 3: You've got to have the respect of the agents and frankly,
14:22
Speaker 3: the entire law enforcement community, because people need to know
14:25
Speaker 3: the FBI is nothing without the support of their local
14:28
Speaker 3: law enforcement. You know, sometimes people think, oh, the FBI
14:31
Speaker 3: comes in and takes over the case and whatever. I
14:34
Speaker 3: myself as a field agent new without the support of
14:37
Speaker 3: those working shoulder to shoulder, like let's say with Broward
14:39
Speaker 3: County Sheriff's Office or Miami Dade Police Department. Without them,
14:44
Speaker 3: we can't get our jobs done. So not only do
14:45
Speaker 3: you have to have the support of you know, the
14:48
Speaker 3: agents within the FBI, you've got to have the support
14:51
Speaker 3: of all the other federal agencies, you know, DEA, all
14:54
Speaker 3: all of them. And you've got to have support of
14:56
Speaker 3: the local law enforcement. So it's a it's a daunting
14:58
Speaker 3: task and let's see what happens. It can be done,
15:03
Speaker 3: and it can be done successfully. And I think the
15:05
Speaker 3: key is that the FBI director has to operate with
15:06
Speaker 3: the highest level of integrity.
15:08
Speaker 2: That is a great and honest answer. Great and honest answer,
15:12
Speaker 2: kats Matidis is coming up next. I'm going to tell
15:14
Speaker 2: them to get your book God signing done. I want
15:17
Speaker 2: to get that big party going for you here in
15:18
Speaker 2: New York. You're doing great. The two Fbis is a
15:21
Speaker 2: great book. You're terrific. Every time you want pox news,
15:23
Speaker 2: you really are. You're great every time you want to
15:25
Speaker 2: hear too, Nicole. So I'm pondering I may go to
15:28
Speaker 2: Florida for the weekend. You've invited me to a couple
15:30
Speaker 2: of events for Memorial Day weekends, so I'm really thinking
15:33
Speaker 2: about it.
15:34
Speaker 3: Actually, so I'll be I'm going to be skydiving with
15:37
Speaker 3: the US Armies Golden Knights into the Miami Beach Aaron
15:40
Speaker 3: C Show. So I've been skydiving before, but never with
15:43
Speaker 3: the US Army, So it will be my honor and
15:45
Speaker 3: privileged to do that this Saturday. It'll be incredible.
15:48

15:52

15:58
Speaker 3: you all on God bless love.
15:59
