No blood on trumps hand? Nor the female agents hair. So pathetic. Closed hand all the time? Its more plausible a false flag than an ear shoot by an ar15
It's disgusting how much of the work equipment the agents are required to pay for themselves. Flashlights, hundreds of suits during their tenure... A hotdog & chips you didn't even choose to eat? While paid on a flat government employee salary scale and expected to take bullets for their protectee. Respect to every patriot that chooses this path, but on a surface level it sounds truly thankless
Free healthcare, loan benefits, government clearance, pension, oh and getting to serve our country… yeah… poor them. My god how narcissistic and ignorant are you?
@@1rstTryI don’t know. Traveling as much as they do no doubt would a strain on anyone. I would have this job if I was single and no other family obligations.
I mean, yea... its pretty hard to predict how a not-master to move Its also probably why they say "the master fears the novice, not because the novice is better than the master; but, the novice is impossible to predict"
that surprised me too. I was in the USAF and got meals on planes, granted they were box lunches and nothing special but on a long flight it fit the bill. That's a raw deal getting billed.
That’s because a President pays for all food out of pocket. Even at the White House. The only food that is covered by the government (us taxpayers) are state dinners. It is kind of sad to bill agents for food on the plane but yeah, the president pays for food out of the paycheck we give them

He also oversaw the end of Osama Bin Laden.
I was not part of the secret service, but I did work with them when president Jimmy Carter visited my base after the eruption of Mt. St. Helens back in 1980. I was a member of the 92d Security Police Squadron, I was hand picked by my squadron commander to secure the air control tower as Air Force One came in to land! I was asked by a secret service agent to draw two of my weapons from the armory, then after introducing me to the air traffic controllers he gave me a direct order, "If anyone other than me attempts to come through this door you are ordered to shoot first, ask questions later. No one tried coming through the door and the agent returned and placed me with my two weapons in the reception line to greet the president!! They utterly professional and great to work with, they also talked with us security police to find any sensitive areas they may need to post a man. We normally had our nuclear mission so the shoot first was common place for us!!
The job sounds like a scam. You have to pay for your own uniform, and if you are taken on a "business trip" on air force one, they also send you a bill for all the food you have to eat?

"I had to commandeer the TV in the room from her bedside roommate" I thought I had a good understanding of bullet physics, but I didn't account for the Coriolis effect from the way he spun that statement, lol
I have my theory that this is Trump's way of weaseling out of trouble. There's no way the Secret Service could be that incompetent at any level unless the President specifically required them to be, as was the case with JFK.
Which reminds me, I have my theory that my late grandpa personally assassinated JFK from the grassy knoll. His great granduncle wrote war books threatening to overthrow the US government by military force. JFK was assassinated on this author's birthday. My grandpa also closely resembled Lee Harvey Oswald. At a glance they could've been mistaken for the same person. However I doubt that my grandpa hypnotized JFK into relaxing his own personal security. I think JFK had an encounter with...The Whisperer.
Problem is, America has a history of enslaving biracial people. People like myself. Inevitably this poses an indirect hazard to whites on a biological basis. There are people in the world who don't care what your goddam excuse is. They just want to get you before you get them.
JFK was also assassinated during the civil rights era. Tuh. The more hoops blacks have to jump through to "prove" our worthiness of equal rights, the more likely these plans will go awry and America's goddam racial excuses will kick in. Which is all the MORE reason for some white folks you ignored to overthrow America by military force. For the aforementioned reasons. The biological factor is a constant and is unresponsive to political fads.

Great video!! The agent interviewed was very down to earth and informative. I could sit and talk to him for hours. As a retired Law Enforcement Officer of 29 years, I’ve worked with many Secret Service Agents. They are some of the most professionals and “down to earth” people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
I really appreciated this entire interview! Especially the comments regarding Butler. There’s so much misinformation everywhere you turn nowadays, that this kind of conversation and format is invaluable for cutting through the bullcrap and agendas.
One potential problem with this agent. He worked for two “ Democrats “ so we have no idea what is true and what is not. Other than that he seems like a good person. As with all of us “ GOD “ will be the judge.
What?? What is this "GQ"?? this whole thing is so carefully curated and edited it is LITERALLY the example of media controlled misinformation! Get your head outta your backside, they put a woman, who couldn't even holster her service weapon under pressure, to guard one of the most polarizing Presidential candidates in US history.
@@johnschneider3082 he clearly says he worked for Clinton, GWB, Obama, and possibly part of the chaos monkey’s first term. That’s an even split, because like most Federal employees, THEY’RE IN NON-PARTISAN JOBS. Most of the time, it doesn’t matter who is in the WH, they still have a job that needs to be done. And that doesn’t make them less trustworthy; it means their loyalty is to the country, the US, rather than to an individual.
7:30 this guy is awesome!... We need an army of soldiers with this type of mentality, integrity & true, selfless bravery! Political leaning should have ZERO INFLUENCE over policing.
You would think if you’re putting your life on the line for a protectee at least your food, uniform and equipment should be covered by the government!!
My thoughts exactly. I get that they wanna blend in now, but I'm starting to favor how baller the old secret service looked. Might be time to look into that again.
This is definitely one of the best videos on The USSS that I've seen. So many are hyped up and overrated, but this video is the real deal.... raw facts, by a true professional. These agents shouldn't have to pay for their meals on AF1 and should have a clothing allowance. And buying their own flashlights.... not cool. 🇺🇸
Trump's closer to 5'11" than he is 6'3". Look at his height compared to Biden's when they stand next to each other. They're almost identical (Biden looks just a smidge taller) and he's listed at 6'0"
This was really really good!! I like his point of view on leadership, honesty within the Service and how a Professional should operate! He was probably a great Teammate and leader!
Thank you all for your service. Its is so important that every potical person be protected no matter how any side or person might feel. They are elected and need to be safe to serve their/ our country. Again greatful for all of your hard work. 🙏
Fantastic stuff. These are incredibly dedicated and patriotic people who we should all be grateful to for their incredible service to our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Working on the beast would be an absolute dream job for me. I have 20+ years of experience working on GM vehicles. I started working on GM vehicles as a teenager and one day I received a job offer from a dealer when I was 17. I actually started working for GM at 18 and became a service manager at 19. I didn't stick with working for dealers long because the entire dealership service department is a toxic environment with everyone competing to do the job the fastest possible way by cutting every corner possible. I have mastered GM DPS on my own without any training. Dealers call me in to fix vehicles after all the dealership technicians have failed to solve the problem.
I was hoping the video would also cover the Secret Service’s investigative branch. It was originally created to investigate counterfeiters, and still does so today (as well as other finance crimes including wire fraud, money laundering, etc). I knew a guy who was former Secret Service who was never put on protective detail. He worked solely on financial crime. He ended up going into the private sector because there was a lot more money to be made there (no pun intended).
He didn't say that no fighters were dispatched. He said from his perspective he was the lone defender of the fort and the last line of defense, up to and including getting reamed by a 747.
Awesome video! Keep up the great work. If I may suggest a topic, I would recommend interviewing Rodrigo Pimentel. He was a captain in a Special Ops battalion in Rio de Janeiro that fought against cartels in the favelas during the 90s. He could also explain how the city of Rio de Janeiro came under the control of various cartels, militias, and how corruption overtook the entire local government. Cheers!
7:08 I heard about this one from Sec. Ash Carter… he said that jumbo jet entering restricted airspace and heading towards the direction of The White House, everyone was on such a high alert and when they scrambled fighter jets, upon flying close to the cock pit, the fighter jet pilot noticed that the pilot of the jumbo jet has fallen asleep, so they had to patiently follow that plane out of the restricted airspace. 😮💨 imagine that
@@normtrooper4392 Tom Clancy did in the novel "Debt of honor". After 9/11 CIA hired thriller and SCI-FI writers to gather most outlandish scenarios for attack on US and then assess how likely they are.
That exact scenario had also been depicted in a couple movies and tv shows. It was not an unknown threat by any means. Add to that fears about surprise attacks from foreign adversaries, rogue fighter or bomber pilots from any country, and the whole hundred year history of aerial attacks and you would expect them to have a better contingency plan than “leave someone to die in the rubble waiting for a ground attack that won’t come”

Nice to see the anti-Dan Bongino talk about his service. No chest-thumping, no exaggerations, no hinting at the "stories I could tell" about any president. Just a guy who did his job.
He was very straight forward. He did not make any excuses of failures as well as the inherent challenges that come with them. These men and women are still tasked with jumping into the line of fire. There is nothing that makes that natural or second nature. They do an incredible job.
Kenneth Valentine is a very badass name, it even sounds like a video game boss. Very fitting for a person who is a veteran of the United States Secret Service, and I'm not just saying that because my first name is Valentina, lol 😂

This guy give me goosebumps. He’s someone who would be heroic in a moments notice. No wonder he no longer works for the feds.
I haven’t finished watching this video, but this is one of the best videos I have watched in all of 2024!!
Missing: Marine One segment 😢.
I commandeer the TV in my house all the time.
Very interesting, seems like a very down to earth guy. Thank you for your service sir. 🎉 Always great videos- please keep em coming 🎉
Appreciate these fine women and men. I don't understand why we give any information that is needed to the general public about how their work is done.
i’m sure he’s not saying anything he isn’t supposed to
Wow! This was neat to hear and listen to you. Thank you for your service, hard work and sweat and commitment.
7:08 I heard about this one from Sec. Ash Carter… he said that jumbo jet entering restricted airspace and heading towards the direction of The White House, everyone was on such a high alert and when they scrambled fighter jets, upon flying close to the cock pit, the fighter jet pilot noticed that the pilot of the jumbo jet has fallen asleep, so they had to patiently follow that plane out of the restricted airspace.
😮💨 imagine that
this guy took a lot more responsibility for the failure than some people did....
Loved the stories, and insight into some of the inner workings! Thanks for this.
“Part of the problem is the protectee”
Because it was a photo op lol
Super interesting video. High quality. Nice work.
This was a GREAT presentation. Very well done😊👏
Thank you for the awesome video! I love stuff like this.
Thank you for your dedicated service. God bless you
His description of the 9/11 response is distressing; the Secret Service never anticipated an aerial threat before 9/11?
Did anyone really?
@@normtrooper4392 yes, Tom Clancy wrote a book about it years before 9/11/2001 that was released in 1994.
@@normtrooper4392 Tom Clancy did in the novel "Debt of honor". After 9/11 CIA hired thriller and SCI-FI writers to gather most outlandish scenarios for attack on US and then assess how likely they are.
@@oskarskalski2982 yup, an agent had a Stinger MANPADS and tried to use it against the 747 in Debt of Honor. Not that it mattered.
That exact scenario had also been depicted in a couple movies and tv shows. It was not an unknown threat by any means. Add to that fears about surprise attacks from foreign adversaries, rogue fighter or bomber pilots from any country, and the whole hundred year history of aerial attacks and you would expect them to have a better contingency plan than “leave someone to die in the rubble waiting for a ground attack that won’t come”
Respect to him to admitting what a catastrophic failure the SS was in Butler.
come to switzerland where you can meet our presidents in the bakery before they go to work
i was a half mile away in Butler when the shots rang out that day. Craziness
You should interview someone who served as a NAVY EOD TECHNICIAN
Any eod tech that actually knows what they were doing
End of days? Why bother fixing it? Not like nobody will notice it’s broken afterwards.
I’m glad the Secret Service knows who I am. I think I saw the SWAT Team in this video. I love you guys; thank you for protecting me. Sigh. ❤ 🙏
2 people died. The shooter and the person in the background on the stands.
30:36 dude thinks he's Barry Sanders over here 😂
THIS IS UTTERLY REDICULOUS: IF WE CAN SEND MONEY TO OTHER COUNTRIES. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY THIER SUITS AND EVERY OTHER ITEMS THEY USE.
These are my favorite videos on here, something so interesting about learning how the secret service operates.
Omg that is terrible that you have to pay for food while on duty. I hope they will fix that for you all in the future.
33:41 Now the new agents know about the press plane 😂
Pay for your own stuff? While protecting the highest profile person in the world? Crazy is what that is
As a taxpayer, it amazes me that these people have to pay for supplies to do their job.
One thing I’ve noticed about these “secret service” guys is none of them were there that day 😂
I would imagine that some who were there that day were fired or demoted. And some are too embarrassed to talk about it.
Tinfoil hat alert wee ooo weee oooo!
@@TootTootComingThru
Take your meds
A good tailor can add reinforcement into a suit easily to keep holster wear from tearing them up. Ive had similar done to normal street clothes and its near undetectable.
Interesting timing :D
Why9?
You realize the previous head of the secret service stepped down right?
@@capellozapellini6074 no, I'm not American. Why would I know that 😂
How so?
@@capellozapellini6074 if he stepped down, surely that's no big issue. Getting fired, there's a dilemma. Stop baiting and trolling for clout. Doesn't suit you at all.
38:33 If it's any relief for him, all Americans are thinking like that because it is not rare
Imagine being politically unaffiliated and devout to a politician. Crazy concept.
Great interview and interviewee!
Very very interesting, thank you!
This guy was quite interesting and enjoyable to listen to.
Nice to see the anti-Dan Bongino talk about his service. No chest-thumping, no exaggerations, no hinting at the "stories I could tell" about any president. Just a guy who did his job.
His Secret Service training instructor sounds like Dan Emmett. He wrote a book "Within Arms Length". Great book!
The armed secret service mechanic ... there's a movie somewhere in there.
He was very straight forward. He did not make any excuses of failures as well as the inherent challenges that come with them. These men and women are still tasked with jumping into the line of fire. There is nothing that makes that natural or second nature. They do an incredible job.
Kenneth Valentine is a very badass name, it even sounds like a video game boss. Very fitting for a person who is a veteran of the United States Secret Service, and I'm not just saying that because my first name is Valentina, lol 😂
You better marry him then, Mrs. Valentina Valentine!
Probably a fake name he chose to obfuscate his background
Awesome show! Thanks!
Before he was Kenneth, he was Greg from accounting
ASKING THEM TO PAY FOR THIER FOOD WHILE ON DUTY IS INSANE.
Like biden and fema only loaned the $750 payment offered to hurricane Helene victims.
While they grifting so very very much off our taxpayers money!
Despicable people!
Rotten to the core!
