he was the first agent who was called that night by director rowley. he was relatively young he was deeply trusted by the director as somebody with good instincts and he said okay pack a bag pack a lot. don't know how long you're going to be gone. don't know where you're going. don't know when you're coming home, but you're going to go see. this candidate in tony kalarama neighborhood of washington dc and good luck. and he bobby d was the agent's name by the way, bobby d. as his wife reminded me many times in our interviews at her house. didn't come home for nine months. again did drop off his laundry. but did not actually sleep in his own bed and forever after prominent candidates for president would always get secret service protection. well after that we should talk about a major success of the secret service and 1981 and other turning point the agency came. when they fulfilled their zero fail mission president reagan. shot outside the dc hotel, but survived due to their heroism. you tell me more about how that event unfolded. um ronald reagan have

secret service director jim rowley served ten more years as secret service director after losing president kennedy on his watch because of his incompetence. president kennedy's younger brother bobby kennedy was assassinated in 1968 running for president. the secret service provided secret service protections to candidates starting the day after bobby kennedy was assassinated. his assassin was able to walk up to him very close in a hotel ballroom and shoot him point- blank in the head. 1975, the secret service allowed president ford to be shot twice within two weeks. at close range. stewart knight was the director of the secret service. he allowed people with no firearms trains to get too close to ford and shoot at him. the only secret service director in history to allow the same president to be shot at twice. but he wasn't finished. he became the only secret service director in history to allow two different presidents to be shot at. he was still in charge of the secret service when the secret service allowed another completely untrained and crazed pedestrian with a handgun to walk up and

we're joined now by former conservative special adviser charlie rowley and the writer and podcaster lewisey. good morning to you both. thanks for joining oakley. good morning to you both. thanks forjoining us. morning morning, morning. so labour getting a move on or they claim they are anyway what about the tories. they need to regroup don't they. and there's lots of rumours about well for example suella braverman defecting to reform. meanwhile they need to pick a new leader, don't they, charlie? >> they do ben and that is true. and they will win. that will happen. we're not quite sure, because the tory hierarchy have got to work out between themselves what the timetable will be, what the rules might be, you know, is it going to go to the membership, is it not? is it just going to be for the mps, the ones that were lucky enough to be re—elected? we'll have to wait and see. but there are a number of names that get thrown out there, including suella. as you say, but we'll just have to. >> so are they actually considering ditching the members approval or the choice for leader? >> i don't thi

my thanks to james matthewson and charlie rowley. who do you agree with? aspiration? howie on x says labour's tax rate on education will just make private education the preserve of the very rich. labour have priced out the working and middle class, mike says only for others when it comes to their own kids, they are all about aspiration. mick says. are all about aspiration. mick says . seems to me that they says. seems to me that they don't want kids to be smart anymore. they prefer thick sheep. sheep like people who are much easier to brainwash and control. future sleeve rollers with no mind of their own. just like the majority of the uk sleeve roller. what an expression i like it bit of lyricism there from one of my viewers. your verdict is in 93% of you say that labour do hate aspiration, 7% say they do not coming up, not satisfied with offending 2.6 billion christians. the most woke olympics ever strike again, with biological males facing female competitors in the boxing ring. we'll debate that shortly. plus, as a kurdish migrant faces jail for trying t

nonetheless charlie rowley, good morning to you all. good morning. good morning.s is kind of your fantasy, isn't it? this cabinet walk in this morning, a blair esque, you know, do you know, i must confess, i find it very strange because i've known wes streeting since i was a teenager. >> and so to see him walking down downing street as the health secretary, it's very odd. i know this morning, calling, talking about the prime minister and realising it's keir starmer is odd, good, strange, odd, bad, odd, fantastic. emily but you know what i mean. the appointment that christmas, isn't it, for you? it's. well it comes rather less often. it's 19 years since labour last won in a general election . but i mean, general election. but i mean, you know, it's interesting that it's basically all the same cabinet appointments has had shadow cabinet. you know, normally there's actually a bit of change. this is a chance for them to rejig. but there's been a lot of loyalty i think to keir starmer, everyone that behaved themselves kept it. emily thornberry is unique in having not g

. >> our story starts with conrad, his mother, lynn rowley says he was an easy child. >> what kind of kid was he? >> definitely sensitive, never gave me a hard time with anything. loved baseball. >> conrad was her first born, two daughters would come later. looking back, she remembers his early years as good ones. >> every picture i have with him he looks like a little goofball. the happiest child, he was always happy. >> conrad grew in and around the fishing town of bedford, massachusetts where his father and grandfather renee told but tugboat and barge business. his father says he was destined to take to the sea since day one. >> he was three years old i just wanted him to follow in my footsteps. i was hoping he would be able to just take over the business someday. >> not only was conrad the first born in the royal family, he was also the first grandchild.'s aunt, chrissy roy, says his cousins adored him. >> they would follow him around like a duck, he was the cousin that all of the kids looked up to. >> but during his sophomore year in high school, his mom says her happy-go-lucky s

secret service deputy director ronald rowley has been named as acting director. he's been with the agency for 24 years. >> also in the news this afternoon, the city of oakland has canceled the planned sweep of a small homeless encampment near the san francisco bay bridge toll plaza. it would have been the first bay area encampment sweep since the us supreme court's ruling. that said, enforcing rules against unhoused residents sleeping outside does not violate the constitution. the toll plaza beach camp has been in place for about four years. we spoke with a civil rights attorney who tried to stop the action, she says. 12 people currently live there, and many of them suffered disabilities that need special accommodations. >> for our plaintiff here, who has aids to go into a congregate setting, or in a setting where a lot of people are. that's a death sentence. so i think the judge got it wrong. i don't think i know a federal judge ruled last week that the city could go forward with that sweep, but this morning, the city told us thatt of t residents have already ac

rowley, the new acting director. you could tell that he started off from the right place, right? he said he went to the scene of the attack, which is something the director previously who who stepped down, she didn't do before her own hearing and so one of the things we learned is that it appears again over a period of minutes, 90 minutes, that local law enforcement had seen some a suspicious person and they were trying to figure out who he was and over a period of time that information, according to the fbi, to the secret service, acting director did not make it to the former president's detail, and that's a key piece of information because it means they didn't have time to make a decision as to whether to keep him behind stage while they were trying to figure this possible threat. listen to this exchange with the senators it's about the lack of information i think he was identified as being suspicious by local law enforcement and nothing happened while i know that local law enforcement was attempting to locate him.

now i still have charlie rowley and alex. karen still with me.uk politics. now we're going to do american politics. alex, coming to you first on this one, i feel very sad personally watching joe biden at the moment. i think it's unfair to see someone obviously in some kind of mental decline, there is a chance he might go this weekend. what do you make of the situation in america at the moment? >> yeah, i actually can't believe that the world's biggest economy has got to a point that the two candidates are biden and trump. you know , it's got a lot trump. you know, it's got a lot of talented people in this country, both parties definitely could have put up better candidates. and that's the situation we have. i actually think that it's a pride thing for joe biden. you know, he's forjoe biden. you know, he's been president for nearly four years. he's been vice president for eight years. you know, he got the nomination from the party, from the members. he doesn't want to step down, but he has to, because in all of the swing states, he's behind in the

he lied about rowley refused to accept the outcome of the election. they refused to condemn january 6 he says they claim he spoke with putin before he invaded what the hell are we doing? we're now some fan what does trump said or done except the nih to lie about what he's for this guy is going to rip away at a woman's right to choose in a permanent way. this guy is going to make sure that the exact revenge is guy's going to destroy democracy disguise, going to give a blank check to the supreme court so mj listening to that, my question for you is based on your excellent reporting, i mean, over the past week and a half in particular, but this story that you have out now about what's going on inside the white house, inside a despondent white house, aides gripped by unease as biden's police political future remains uncertain how much is that helping with them? well, i mean, you put the politics aside and does he have a viable electoral path? is he going to stay in the race which we've been talking about nonstop for ten days. i mean, there are people insi

but he's been very proud of that but, but, but rowley wade going away via the dobbs case does not end abortion in the united states of america, it's simply moves into the political process and no abortion laws are going to pass at the federal level by the way, because the congress won't do it, they've never have 60 votes in the senate to do anything thank one way or the other. >> they want so the policy is going to be made at the states just like it is on infinite other issues, states make policy and they enact policy. and that's the way the founders intended when they design the u.s. constitution and trump as a policy maker and as the head of the republican party has said, i'm pro-life, and i believe in the three exceptions, my sense is just people will probably take their cues from him. >> and paul just before i let you all go, just generally, what we're talking about now is we're more generally trying to see trump moderate in his words, right? the words he's saying out loud, he's trying to at least the appeal to try to moderate here what do you make of the tone that we're hearing?

. >> metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowley said this week that he felt that the force wased. they've got a recruitment crisis, can't attract new people to the police service . as i made to the police service. as i made the point in my column, you know, in the old days, people grew up wanting to be police officers. nowadays, kids grow up wanting to film them on their mobile phones and post it on social media. that's a problem. but can't we trace this back to tory cuts? i know it's awkward, but when theresa may took a machete to police numbers, we're still feeling the ill effects of that today. that was a terrible mistake by the former home secretary, isn't it? >> look, i remember being there at the time, and i think it's right to note that overall violent crime in our country has fallen. and that's a welcome thing. we don't see the sort of, you know, gang thuggery that we often used to see on our streets after people were drinking nine pints and going out and causing trouble. that sort of behaviour has definitely declined. however, there are flashpoints and it does seem to

i've contacted mark rowley and said i'll help, i'll help.rupt cops as an undercover. i'll help train people to do what they need to do. nobody's interested. i contacted the government about the boat crisis with the migrants up to stop it in a week. not a peep from suella braverman priti patel, boris johnson . nobody really wants to johnson. nobody really wants to change anymore. it's just going downhill. this country is going downhill. this country is going downhill in a big way. >> how would you stop the boats, robert? >> well, basically it's i did well, i did smuggle people by boat for, for the government. to catch them, catch the criminals. but the truth is , there are no but the truth is, there are no criminal gangs out there. this is a big industry of being sent over by the french. i did a boat job with the french, and. i know that it's fake. now because before they let me cross the channel to pick up the migrants, they said, i want you to give them a full safety briefing, a full safety briefing in. and bearin full safety briefing in. a
