You might have key players on the inside of Secret Service, okay, that are there to ensure certain things go on, are there to ensure certain stand downs, maybe are there if things go awry to take out their target, Tom's Crooks.
The first person to be taken off stage was JD Vance. And I look at it and go, What in God's name is going on? The protocol, the standard, the requirement is the president. Get the president. Everybody else can die. The president. That's who you save. That's what Secret Service is supposed to be trained to do. They didn't do that. They take off JD Vance. So you're going, Okay, what's going on?
Donald Trump should, the Secret Service should have been all over. Look at this. 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008. So we got at least 15 seconds. Before the Secret Service responds, actually, it's more like 30 seconds before the Secret Service responds to get Donald Trump off the stage. What the hell is that? That's not protocol.
Yeah, we know the Secret Service stood down, only gave about a third of the staffing he needed in Butler.
That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons, but today's a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before.
A guy very high up in the Secret Service, actually, really high up. And he came out to visit me in Minnesota. I had become friends with a lot of them. And he came out to visit me and he said, Mike, and he said, they're going to come after you because you're speaking out and you won't shut up. He said, they're coming after you. At that point, he said, I was getting to be the number one target. And I did become number one in January, the number one target to take down and shut him up.
And what they did back then, they actually came to me. This was, it was, this guy's way high up in government and he came to me. It was part of the Secret Service actually. Came to Minnesota and he said, Mike, they can't get you. The media and stuff can't attack you going backwards because you've already said you're a crack. You were a crack addict. And you already, full disclosure, you're not going to find anything in my past to shame me in the media, right? And then he said, they're not going to find going forward. Everybody knew who you were, this philanthropist, this person getting people to Jesus, this person that pouring out when I quit crack cocaine in January 16, 2009. After that, my pillow gave and myself, we gave millions of dollars to your teen challenges, your salvation armies, your hurricane victims, wherever there was a tragedy in the country, I was there. My pillow was there to throw millions at it. And so he said, they're not going to be able to get you going forward because they're going to go, oh, that's just because he backs the greatest president Donald Trump ever, right? That's what this guy told me. He said, what they're going to do to you, Mike, is they're either going to pull up in two vans and you're going to disappear, or on the other, the other thing, they're going to attack your businesses and your money and they're going to just bankrupt you until you show you shut up.
So why the motorcade needed to go through Dealey Plaza, which is inside the city of Dallas, on a motorcade route in which the presidential limousine, in total violation of the Secret Service protocols, came to a full and complete stop, creating the opportunity for the murder of John F. Kennedy.
