>> Carley: A FOX NEWS ALERT.
LAWMAKERS ARE DEMANDING SECURITY
FAILURES SHOTS BEING FIRED A FEW
HUNDRED YARDS AWAY FROM THE
FORMER PRESIDENT.
THE TASK FORCE RELEASING THIS
STATEMENT: THE TASK FORCE IS
MONITORING THIS ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION OF FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN WEST PALM
BEACH THIS AFTERNOON.
WE HAVE REQUESTED A BRIEFING
WITH THE U.S. SECRET SERVICE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW
SECURITY RESPONDED.
WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT WAS NOT HARMED BUT
REMAIN DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT
POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND CONDEMN
IT IN ALL OF ITS FORMS.
THE TASK FORCE WILL SHARE
UPDATES AS WE LEARN MORE.
>> Todd: FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN
GREG STEUBE JOINS US NOW.
CONGRESSMAN, WHAT ANSWERS ARE
YOU DEMANDING OF SECRET SERVICE
AND, QUITE FRANKLY, THE ENTIRE
APPARATUS THAT IS CHARGED WITH
PROTECTING PRESIDENT TRUMP?
>> YEAH.
THERE IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF
QUESTIONS THAT CONGRESS HAS
ASKED AND I DON’T THINK THE TASK
FORCE IS EVEN BEING GIVEN
ANSWERS ON THE LAST SHOOTING
THAT HAPPENED IN BUTLER,
PENNSYLVANIA.
THE NAMES OF EVERY OTHER SECRET
SERVICE AGENT ON THE GROUND THAT
DAY.
WHAT IS VERY INTERESTING IS THE
TRUMP TEAM HAS REPEATEDLY ASKED
SECRETARY MAYORKAS FOR MORE
SECRET SERVICE HE AGENCIES TO
PROTECT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HAVE
BEEN REFUSED INTO THE BUTLER
SHOOTING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
TIMES.
WHY IS THAT?
DOES THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND
SECURITY DON’T WANT TO PROVIDE
SECURITY TO THE FORMER
PRESIDENT, LEADING NOMINEE FOR
THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL RACE
IN NOVEMBER?
WHY DOESN’T HE WANT TO GIVE THEM
THE ASSETS HIS OWN TEAM IS
REQUESTING.
IT’S HARD NOT TO BELIEVE THIS
ISN’T AN EFFORT TO GIVE HIM
LOWER LEVELS OF SECURITY.
THE PALM BEACH SHERIFF EVEN SAID
HAD HE BEEN THE PRESIDENT THEY
WOULD HAVE HAD THAT ENTIRE GOLF
COURSE SHUT DOWN.
WHY ARE WE NOT TREATING HIM LIKE
IS HE THE PRESIDENT.
THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN MULTIPLE
THREATS AT HIS LIFE.
MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT HIS LIFE.
IT’S VERY FRUSTRATING AS A
MEMBER OF CONGRESS ONE TO NOT
GET ANSWERS FROM THE SECRET
SERVICE.
TWO, THE AGENCY SUPPOSED TO BE
DEEMED THE ONLY JOB TO PROTECT
OUR FORMER AND FORMER PRESIDENTS
NOT DOING IT APPROPRIATELY.
>> WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE
WAY SECRET SERVICE HANDLED THIS
SITUATION?
THANK GOD THERE WAS THAT ONE
AGENT WHO SPOTTED THE MUZZLE OF
THE GUN IN THE CHAIN LINKED
FENCE.
BUT THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT
WHY IT GOT TO THAT LEVEL TO
BEGIN WITH.
>> YEAH.
HOW DID THE GUY GET THERE,
KNOWING THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS
GOING TO BE THERE?
WHY WASN’T THAT AREA LOCKED
DOWN?
IT’S JUST LIKE THE BUTLER
SHOOTING.
HOW DID AN INDIVIDUAL CLIMB UP
ON A ROOF WITH A FIREARM WHERE
PEOPLE AROUND WERE SAYING HEY,
THERE IS A GUY OVER THERE WITH A
GUN CLIMBING UP ON THE ROOF.
HOW IS HE LAYING UP THERE FOR
LIKE 20 MINUTES OR SOMETHING
BEFORE HE TOOK A SHOT?
YOU CAN’T TELL ME THAT THE
SNIPERS THAT DAY DIDN’T HAVE A
BEAD OR A VIEW ON HIM BEFORE HE
TOOK A SHOT WHY WASN’T HE TAKEN
OUT BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO GET ON
THE ROOF.
SO MANY QUESTIONS I HAVE A
FORMER MILITARY GUY AND LOOKING
ATTACK PARTICULARS AND THE
SITUATION THERE IN BUTLER AND
THEN THE LAST SHOOTING THAT THE
SECRET SERVICE IS JUST REFUSING
TO PROVIDE ANSWERS.
YOU SAW HER WHEN SHE WAS BEFORE
CONGRESS.
SHE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANSWERS
AND ENDED UP RESIGNING AFTER I
FILED IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION
AGAINST HER.
IT’S FRUSTRATING TO NOT GET
ANSWERS FROM THE AGENCY WE
OVERSEE.
>> Todd: WHEN YOU DRIVE BY THIS
COURSE IT’S NOT LIKE YOU CAN
LOOK IN AND SEE THE GOLFERS
PLAYING.
THERE IS GREENERY BLOCKING
ANYBODY FROM THE ROAD FROM
SEEING INSIDE THE COURSE.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS INDIVIDUAL HAD
TO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF PLANNING
INVOLVED.
DO YOU BLAME, CONGRESSMAN, THE
CONSTANT DRUM BEAT FROM THE LEFT
THAT TRUMP IS A THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY FOR YESTERDAY’S
ATTEMPT AND YET ANOTHER ATTEMPT
ON HIS LIFE?
>> 100 PERCENT.
AFTER JANUARY 6TH, NANCY PELOSI
CALLED ALL OF US REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DOMESTIC
TERRORISTS.
THOSE WORDS ARE IMPACTFUL TO
PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING TO DO
HARM TO PEOPLE.
SO WE HAVE BEEN CALLED DOMESTIC
TERRORISTS.
THERE ARE REPEATED CALLS THAT
TRUMP IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.
WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE LEFT.
KAMALA HARRIS HASN’T HAD A
SINGLE PERSON VOTE FOR HER FOR
PRESIDENT AND SHE IS THE
NOMINEE.
IF THERE IS NOT A MORE THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY IT’S THAT.
SHE WAS PICKED BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS AT A DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
AND SHE IS THE PERSON THAT THEY
PUT OUT WITH NOT A SINGLE PERSON
VOTING ANOTHER.
BUT THE RHETORIC FROM THE LEFT
EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT TRUMP IS A
THREAT TO DEMOCRACY AND A THREAT
TO OUR COUNTRY DROVE THIS GUY TO
DO WHAT HE DID.
FACEBOOK HAS ALREADY TAKEN DOWN
HIS FACEBOOK PAGE THAT EVEN SAID
THAT TRUMP WAS A THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY.
>> Carley: YEAH, AFTER THIS
HAPPENED, AND DONALD TRUMP GOT
WHISKED AWAY INSIDE, AFTER SHOTS
RANK OUT, APPARENTLY HE WAS IN
GOOD SPIRITS AND JOKING AND
SAYING IT WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT
IT HAPPENED AT THE FIFTH HOLE
BECAUSE HE HAD A BIRDIE PUTT AND
DOING PRETTY WELL.
I THINK HIS ATTITUDE AMONG ALL
OF THIS, THE DRAMA AND POTENTIAL
LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION
SHOULD BE NOTED AS WELL.
