Dan Bongino: 'Putin has to be absolutely laughing right now'

In the meantime, we're keeping this video and maybe screen sharing, bringing in Gino Fox collaborator Dan Bond, ex-Secret Service agent, dan, we're only looking at 125,000 people in an open stadium, how do you protect? otherwise get in that pit Brian one of the hardest components of the protection plan in a stadium like that is obviously going to be the magnetometers no one gets close to the president even at an event like that without going through a metal detector a magnetometer first now having said think about this logistics wise there is always a secret service agent logistics agent who only does that job on a foreign trip that doesn't happen on domestic trips where the main retainer takes care of that which the agent of logistics on this overseas trip had to figure out a way to mag a hundred thousand people now we use our metal detectors so we have to get them there on the trip so that's a huge and taking in and of itself but there is a certain fee of flow, there's only a couple hundred people an hour that each team can do, so can you imagine the staff and magnetometers alone that went into that one site?

Remember you're going to New Delhi so this is just one site it must have been a couple of military car planes just to clean all those people what we would call which means it's free of any kind of metal in that

right

site and apparently thousands line the route of the caravan when it got there earlier today and as for Brian's point, they had like a compound, a bulletproof compound behind which were the prime minister and the president, but now they're there at the Taj Mahal which, as I mentioned a moment ago, Dan is a 42 acre complex, it's hard on you.

I know it's hard enough to secure a stadium, but 43 acres with all that stuff going on, how do you do that? Yeah yeah, with plenty of hiding places so you can get in and out too. I should have said this first it's the most important thing on these foreign trips it's what I used to call the big six I got it from a guy named Nate who's a great agent he's mitigating tactical threats medical emergencies chemical attacks improvised explosive devices air strikes and any kind of a fire, something like that, so once you deal with those six threats, you're pretty good with the rest, but doing it in a place like the Taj Mahal in India, there's a lot of downsides that we just covered, the only pluses are this we were in india quite a bit actually when i made a breakthrough abroad where i was.

I have been to the Czech Republic or someone. The Secret Service is very familiar with the way that we work, which, Steve, I can't describe enough, is a huge plus because when we come to Secret Service Overseas City I tell them it's like a freight train going It arrives no one knows what to expect and there's a day or two of commotion before everyone realizes you better get on the train and it's going to roll over you when we've been there a lot that's out of the way second the Taj Mahal we've been through omg probably a hundred times if not more even in the last few years remember we don't just protect the president we take other people there too so there's probably a basic security footprint where everyone the ins and outs are already mapped out so that's kind of an advantage but you're not wrong regardless of all that it's extremely hard to secure and I think this president more than any other and I can see something like this d From an architectural point of view and really appreciate it maybe more than we can understand this is really what he does woody what he's trying to make you know what he does for a living before his Zachary so he's going to go there and appreciate it correctly and this is the image that he wants people to see, is he in front of what The wonders of the world with the first lady after a triumphant appearance at the stadium and then a dinner tonight dan dan we saw we are watching this video here but also in houston a few months ago he was there with the prime minister of india as well and i had a great crowd how does this help you when it comes to american indian support great great listen I get it I'm a conservative it's not a secret on the net but I can tell you objectively as objectively as I can be that it was an amazing appearance the the the the love shown back and forth between the Indian commune in that area on Donald Trump and Modi who was on stage was just something you can't replicate there is no you can't afford that kind of thing well tell me if you agree with this do you remember the price Senator Obama when he was going to be president Obama ma when he went to Berlin , it was an incredible shot, it made everyone wonder as a man that something special is happening here when he did that in Texas and I thought, wow, I slipped away, I didn't know relations with this Indian.

The leader and the country were on such a fast track but this confirms it again today and for those who like to say that the president is embarrassing us all over the world and we don't have any more friends you might want to watch this video if it is early Trump 2020, yes Brian you know you might want to ask the Cuban community in Florida too. You know the Democrats are about to nominate a Socialist. I live in Florida and I assure you that you talk to Cubans in Florida. that all this harming international relations is nonsense after having said that these shots go off i mean you can't look at this how you can't pay for this kind of thing this is the Taj Mahal one of the great landmarks in the world but i you have like a se I also have to be honest here the first thing that jumps out at me is the Secret Service guys omg this has a lot to do with our exposition and a lot of important points but you're

right

this is one of the the best pieces of architecture in the world built without any of our modern technology and look at the photos this is the kind of thing you want to talk about looking presidential this is it now you are witnessing it on live tv it's just amazing It

absolutely

is.

Stunning and hard to believe it was built in 1632. That's when they started it. So explain what we're looking at right now because we can see that World Press has come forward for these still images of that iconic shot of the president and the first lady and the reflecting pool and the Taj Mahal. Tell us what what to advance to people and how are you handling the press and everything else right now yeah this is all the time they coordinated we just call it a basic spray where they come in and they will only be able to take all the photos is international press in the press group now the press group has an agent assigned to them at all times they look for explosives even the press is swept all of you probably know if they have been on trips yes early in the morning and an agent stays with them all the time everything is coordinated beforehand, obviously, you want the best shot.

I mean, any political campaign, even for the president, is two things: correct snapshots and sound bites. That's every campaign. they'll come and take some photos and you know, the president will probably always say a few things and I'll take some photos and then they'll escort them back, he can take the rest of us and and and they say it's interesting if people missed the speech to 3:00 in the morning ET, one of the first things Modi did was point out to Ivanka the role of Jared, they know the family and it's great to see the first lady you saw as an intimacy and a friendship that doesn't need to be put on the teleprompter, yeah, I mean, that's the thing with the president, I think a lot of people miss Brian, you know, again, I mean, everyone understands my political leanings.

I had the pleasure of meeting the president several times, people underestimate his interpersonal skills, I'll be honest, Lee, he reminds me a lot, not politically speaking, but I was a Secret Service agent under Bill Clinton in the last year of his campaign and he he had this ability to walk in a room and no matter what you thought of him when you left he said ok i may not agree with him politically but i get it i sure get i get why people do it finds so charismatic, President Trump sweats charisma. I'm telling you I've been in a room with him and it's not a skewed conservative perspective.

I have seen it. You know Barack Obama was also very friendly with people, but he really has the ability to do that. I saw Jared and Steven Miller from a public relations perspective. This has shed a positive light on India and I am sure his government appreciates it too because many of us are seeing this and now want to visit and they are doing well. yes go ahead sorry there is nothing more desirable than a trip abroad from the most powerful leader in the world the president of the United States certainly gives you the international seriousness you need for many things so yes that's it

absolutely

accurate and of course like the United States.

The United States and China continued to negotiate sort of a bigger face on the trade deal with China, you know, it was announced this morning that they're apparently going to buy about three billion dollars of our super-sophisticated military. helicopters but Dan you know the trade between the two countries right now is a hundred and forty two billion dollars in 2018 but as one of the administration officials said there is always room to grow because keep in mind that in India they have over a billion consumers there that's right that's right and there's been some pushback in India recently on things like import tariffs and I think the president understands that because we've looked at it's not a secret to through multiple presidencies the Obama administration: we have looked to India as a counterweight to China China is a world power that doesn't always have our best interests in mind that's no big secret everyone knows that doesn't mean they are an enemy all the time, so looking to them as a counterbalance, I think President Trump understands the value. from a personal visit to go back there and make sure we still have those markets open at both ends because there's been some setbacks in India in recent years you know I'm seeing these double takes here the president and the first lady Ivanka and Jared and , despite the pressures of being president, have been under all kinds of media scrutiny and investigative scrutiny about what happened in the 2016 election and what happened afterward.

This is a time when the wind is not only at your back literally, but it is also at your back politically. I feel like them, but both couples feel like they've turned the corner and in many ways, and the polls show, yes. and i know i mean what's the old line there what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and and and i think by the president i mean this has to be pretty obvious you think to everyone but the democrats brian who continues with the nonsense that I mean has any president in modern American history had to put up with this the presidents put up with a false part of the Russian collusion hoax, you know, an end to impeachment, oh, you know, the Electoral College thing, the of the 25th amendment, I mean. has been unprecedented, you'd think Democrats, who were typically more tactically and politically savvy than this, would realize it's time to start sticking to the issues and hammering it on the issues they think would matter but seem to they can't get away. their dreaded TDs and focus on the personal stuff all the time trump disorder syndrome, well so what did you do over the weekend? the president knew that russia was trying to get elected and bernie sanders was trying to get elected with the help of the russians and then the president said yesterday, look, adam schiff leaked it because the democrats are scared because bernie sanders is going to be his nominee and they're trying to destroy him you know

putin

i tweeted this this week and i meant every word if it flatters me a

putin

has to absolutely be

laughing

ri now i'm sorry to say but admittedly he must be

laughing

at how people in this country who have this righteous animosity towards the president are making their own offers and will refuse to let Vladimir Putin go.

It's one thing to cause chaos in the United States so that the country collapses in on itself and what better way to do that than to get media people and others running around with unfounded rumors that the president is a Russian agent did you see? this? Weekend Lawrence O'Donnell of that other dreaded network Did you see him on air have a total meltdown and claim the president is a Russian mover? i know you've worked here way longer than me but you and me but if you said something like that with no evidence whatsoever on this network you'd probably get fired the next day how do you listen and say how amazing they are? thinking about suspending chris matthews for saying something wrong about bernie sanders but it's ok to make those ridiculous statements about the president you'll probably get a raise and it's unbelievable it's hard it's so hard to believe that happened on air alot thanks Dan bungee you know for joining.us with this live analysis
