I don't like security.
I don't like doing the whole process or whatever.
But I think when you have the president of the United States in the room, as you mentioned, with so many assassination attempts already against his life, I think you got to go through the rigmarole, if you will.
So it's one thing to know how difficult it is to lock down the D.C.
Hilton.
But I was really worried the last couple of weeks about the vice president and others in the administration going to Islamabad, Pakistan for the Iranian peace talks.
And all I was thinking about is, man, like, how do you lock down that place?
Like, that's a risky place to go to.
So it's one thing for the Hilton if you're a Secret Service.
But how does the Secret Service lock down Islamabad?
How old do you think I am?
Yeah.
It's true.
My last question for you is, I mean, we could be critical of the security, but in the end, like it worked, they got him.
He didn't make it very far.
I don't know how much of that is on the kudos to the Secret Service or a testament to how inept this guy was.
Maybe if there's someone who is better at it, maybe would have been more successful.
But what do you make of the response, whether in that one particular place?
or what we saw with the president, right?
So we saw the Secret Service agent get in front of the president's table immediately.
