if you recall from my questioning of cheatle, director cheatle basically said they didn't even considerhe rally, which makes no sense. that's question one. q the second is, why wasn't that rooftop on the agr building secured? why wasn't that part of the parameter? in the age of ar-15 style weapons, and i have my own strong opinions on if they should be allowed, but the fact that they are allowed means you have to design the parameter in such a way that people outside the parameter can't endanger the protect e es within the parameter. that was just security 101 in regards to securing the site. >> congressman, do you think as of right now, this tuesday, the protectees of the secret service, and the new responsibilities they will have going tforward, do you think tt these people should feel as though they are protected? >> i thinke with regard to the individual details for those protectees that you mentioned, i think they are excellent and those people should feel generally secure. however, with regard to big events and with regard to outdoorre rallies and with rega to situations that may

james comer and jamie raskin called on cheatle to step down. nancy mace introduced articles of impeachment last night, forcing a vote within 48 hours. cheatle admitted the secret service failed to protect the former president. nobody told trump anything about it. president trump told jesse watters that cheatle told him they didn't have enough quote, unquote manpower at the rally to help in the rally. watch this. >> she was very nice, i thought. but somebody should have made sure there was nobody on that roof. that roof was a dead aim right onto the stage. and they said they didn't have the manpower for it. which is crazy. maria: look, even if that were true, tricia, somebody needed to tell president trump, mr. president, there's a threat. hold off coming out on stage for five or 10 minutes, let me go up to that roof and see who this person is, let me eliminate this threat. no one even told him. he walked out on stage, not knowing what the local law enforcement and plenty of people in the crowd knew, there was a guy with a gun on a roof across t
