00:00Do you have any comment on Secret Service Director Kimberly Sheetal stepping down today?
00:08I heard the news that she stepped down.
00:10It's the right thing to do.
00:11I mean, there were obviously incredible failures at the farm show in Butler.
00:17There are many investigations going on and those investigations need to unearth where
00:23those failures were so that any protectee is ensured the absolute top level of protection
00:31going forward.
00:32That was a failure in Butler.
00:34Thank God the former president was not assassinated.
00:38Sadly, we lost one Pennsylvanian, Corey Compertor, who is an extraordinary man, someone I've
00:45gotten to know now through his wife and his daughters.
00:49I feel privileged that they have shared with me so much about the wonderful life he lived
00:53as a firefighter, as a churchgoer, as a community activist.
00:58And yes, as an avid supporter of the former president, Corey was engaged in civic life.
01:03That's a good thing.
01:04We should all be engaged in civic life.
01:07And of course, we continue to pray for the two Pennsylvanians who were wounded that day,
01:11who were in critical condition and now understand in more stable condition.
01:16What happened in Butler was an absolute failure and there needs to be answers as to what went
01:23wrong.
01:24And I think her resignation is an important step in that process.
