Mark Levin: Biden’s DEI appointments RUINED the Secret Service



If there’s one thing that can be agreed upon across the political aisle, it’s that the Secret Service was horrifically incompetent on July 13 — and thus is an absolute embarrassment to the United States.

The Secret Service had one job — to protect former President Donald Trump. And the agency failed. Had he not turned his head at the last second, he would likely not be with us today.

Mark Levin is in utter disbelief that something like this could have happened.

“What’s very upsetting about this, though, is the more we learn, the more preposterous and outrageous this is,” Levin says. “This is a tiny local police department. Are you telling me the United States Secret Service delegated them authority for protection outside the protection zone?”

Meanwhile, the Secret Service did have a counter-sniper. So where was he?

“If you have a counter-sniper there, that counter-sniper, that’s his job to stay focused. To look for any other snipers or any other potential, you know, in the trees, on the buildings, and so forth. That’s his job,” Levin says.

“And now that we learn that they viewed that building as a vulnerable spot, and then we hear that for the local police it was a launching off for special ops,” he continues. “You’ve seen the video, the people yelling and saying, ‘There’s a guy up there with a gun, he’s up there, he’s up there now with a rifle.’”

Perhaps a good way to explain how this happened starts with the now-former director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle. Cheatle was head of security for PepsiCo before becoming Secret Service director.

“This is a DEI appointment by Joe Biden,” Levin says. “One of the focuses of this director of the Secret Service, and she’s made it public, ‘We want 30% female agents.’”

“Well, I want 100% competent agents. This is not a game,” he adds.

New York Judge DELAYS Trump sentencing following SCOTUS immunity ruling



It’s been quite the week for former President Donald Trump.

Not only did his debate against President Joe Biden send Democrats scrambling — the Supreme Court ruled that the president has immunity when executing "official acts."

Following that decision, Trump’s team moved to overturn the conviction of the former president in the Manhattan case, where he was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

As a result, Trump’s sentencing hearing has been postponed until September. While many conservatives are taking it as a win, Sara Gonzales remains skeptical.

“Part of me is like what else are they planning?” Gonzales says, adding, “They don’t give up that easily.”

“It’s either that or they see all of this imploding before their very eyes, and they don’t want to look stupid, so they’re like, ‘Yeah, we’ll just delay it, and then maybe people will forget about it,’” she continues, “But you’ve got to believe that they are completely scrambling to figure out what to do.”

“All of these bombshells they thought that they had are now seemingly getting totally overturned,” she adds.

Matthew Marsden finds it interesting that the liberal response to the Supreme Court’s ruling has been overwhelmingly one of fear.

“It’s amazing how the liberals went absolutely bonkers and said that the Supreme Court ruling was about Trump,” Marsden says. “It’s just about the law; it’s about the Constitution.”
