I listened and watched most of the testimony from Cheetah, the director of the Secret Service yesterday before Congress, and it was just one after another of just not answering the question, spinning the directive, you know, in a different direction. It was just horrible how this whole thing came to be, first of all, with the assassination campaign, secondly, the director not owning any of this, really. She says, oh yeah, I'm the one that's taking full responsibility here, but did she really listen as she avoids again? On July 15th, this committee sent you a list of demands of information that we wanted. Has the Secret Service provided this committee a complete list of all law enforcement personnel that were there that day? Have you done that? Have you provided a list to the oversight committee? Yes or no? I'll have to get back to you on that. That is a no. Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee, as we asked on July 15th, yes or no? I would have to get back to you. That is a no. You're full of sh*t. You're just being completely dishonest, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, I want to... Mr. Chairman, come on. We have to maintain decorum in this committee, no matter how upset we get. Have you provided any and all memos to this committee that we've asked you on July 15th? Have you provided all of them randives within the Secret Service? I would have to get back to you on that. That is a no. You're being dishonest or lying. You're being dishonest here with this committee. These are important questions that the American people want answers to, and you're just dodging and talking around it in generalities, and we had a subpoena you to be here and you won't even answer the questions. We have asked you repeatedly to answer our questions. This isn't hard. These are not hard questions. Yeah, they're just not hard questions. I mean, do you not believe that this woman should be held in contempt, joining us not to talk a little bit more about this, Jennifer Nassoor, former chairwoman, Massachusetts Republican Party. Your thoughts on this lack of testimony, I guess, I'll have to get back to you. She might as well just be saying, "I'm going to plead the fifth on this," admitting that there's guilt, but I'm not going to incriminate myself here. I don't understand how this woman can't bring answers like this. You know, it's basically that she's giving the middle finger to the members of Congress in the hearing, you know, and not just them, but to the American people. Who she's supposed to serve and, you know, she is responsible for protecting, you know, at high levels. And I find her to be one, I mean, clearly she's incompetent, right? And at this point, the president needs to remove her. She needs to be fired if she's not going to go on her own. And this is embarrassment. I mean, to watch her up there and to hear that testimony yesterday is an embarrassment and how she is not horrified by her behavior and say, "I'm not even -- you don't need to even have me appear because I'm out," is -- and how she won't give a list of who is there, how the failures that have occurred for this kind of situation to have happened, you know, it goes past incompetence. Yeah. Let me ask you about the ability of this committee to hold her in contempt for not answering the questions. You saw one of the people that was brought before committees as far as the January 6 investigation goes, you know, spend time in jail for not answering questions. So your thoughts on the contempt situation, or is that something DOJ has to get involved with? Can't Congress hold her in contempt? Who puts her in jail if that's the case? I mean, I don't think we're going to get that, but shouldn't there be some, you know, hold you in contempt for not answering? Well, I mean, you can be held in contempt, but I mean, you know, we saw with Hunter Biden when he, when, you know, Congress said, "Hey, you're in contempt," it's not the same thing as in the judicial system. You know, congressional hearing is not the same. So, I mean, it's disrespectful. I don't know if they can do that to her. She really is in the charge of the president, and, you know, since we haven't really seen the president, we don't know what he's up to. And his level of competency, I'm not really feeling so -- Yeah. -- so confident enough. Well, the investigations obviously continue, but a lot of the investigation came out yesterday with testimony and questioning from the committee members there yesterday, laying out specific timelines, for instance, minute by minute. And then they were, you know, asking her the same situation. How much time did you know that there was a problem? Were you not briefed on that? And she -- I'll have to get back to you on that. We're still waiting for the full data. There's been nine days since this took place. Congress people went to the site. She never went to the site. It's just one failure after another here. But it doesn't look like she's going anywhere as far as the president's concerned. Are you shocked that the president is still backing her up? No, I'm not shocked. It just goes to the level of competency of this administration, that there is no one who -- I mean, look, if Kamala Harris has now coordinated the Queen here to, you know, be the next nominee for the Democratic Party. We'll see how long that lasts. I'm still not confident in that. But, you know, for right now, I feel like she has a responsibility to say something. Because if Joe's not saying something, then she has a responsibility. This is her administration. She can't run away from that. And so I think that this would be an issue that she would want to address. And I think the more that this gets hidden, the more problematic it is. And you look at those members of the committee in that hearing yesterday. It wasn't Republicans only. It was Democrats. They -- both sides were aggravated. Both sides were upset by her lack of answering their questions and her lack of accountability. Yeah, you're right about Kamala Harris. She does have to address policies. She does have to address this situation. At some point, the honeymoon on the fundraising is going to be over here. And you're right. It's still early. She has not been a coordinated Queen just yet. We're not even sure that they're not going to go some other direction, although it appears that everybody is behind her as far as the Democratic Party goes. But then there's still the election and will she be president. So she's still just the vice president right now. That's where we are today. But my gosh, between now and November 5th, I mean, every day is going to be an exciting news day. That's for sure. All right, Jennifer Nasore. Thank you so much.
