to get secret service security?r this year, but in previous cycles, there have been people who have gotten protection. if you look at jesse jackson who ran twice for president, he had protection. ted kennedy and some others have occasionally got in production this early. as you know, we have a eight- nine republican candidates at this point. the president, of course, gets protection. >> this comes on the hills of this guy charged yesterday with the possible assassination of the president. he could face life in prison if found guilty. new a video is coming out of the suspect talking about the president and what he thought of them and ultimately, what he wanted to do. >> there are indications that he regularly talked about taking the president what the devil and he needed to take care of this problem. he had weapons of around his home that disappeared about the time he disappeared from idaho. in retrospect, it seems pretty obvious what was torn to happen. at the time, i am sure people thought it was just an offhand re
