I saw so many reactions to the former and probably future president of the United States getting shot, which was along the lines of basically hoping that that person hadn't missed and or justifying that violence on Donald Trump was somehow justified. That's insane. Now, that person could only have gotten that idea because the media fed them that language and that idea.

And I think that that's extremely scary because I don't think you actually see Republicans necessarily saying that about Joe Biden. They may think that Joe Biden is feeble and mentally incompetent, but nobody's calling for the death of Joe Biden. So I think that that's a very scary place where you have one group of people who are being fed this extremely toxic narrative.

And I think that that part of what you're saying, Jason, I agree with. But I really disagree with the other part, which is, and this is someone, again, as someone who was a former Democrat, I can observe this and be relatively rational here. I don't see that from the other side.

I think like one thing that when the investigation happens into what happened here, and we really figure out what happened in the Secret Service, how many examples do we need of institutions where we put in our trust, just like letting us down? and they just seem to be piling up and it's independent of administration.

And at some point, I think we have to like really check ourselves and say, what has happened here? Like, how do we objectively measure the quality of the people that are supposed to be working in these organizations?

Is it an acceptance of mediocrity or is it that they just got completely distracted on things that are not germane to doing your job. So if it was, we need... a diverse Secret Service, or we need to have inclusion, all of those things have nothing to do in my mind about protecting somebody.

There are characteristics, and I suspect that there are women that embody these characteristics as much as men that embody these characteristics, but why isn't there a psychographic way of determining who the best people are that have the protective instinct to protect the most important people that run our country?

I don't know if you guys saw, but there was like a thing where, and I feel bad for this woman who's being derided as being totally incompetent, the one in the field, but there was a David Attenborough voiceover.

Did you see the picture of Secret Service on top of the White House roof, which is extremely sloped, even more sloped than the... I mean, it's just ridiculous.

No, no, say that again.
