It would have been better to go with private security, after Saturday's pathetic performance by Secret Service.

Its going to save Kennedy 1 mill a month to let deBecker's contract expire BUT YES, the USSS really looked like crap Saturday. And Kennedy is a bigger threat to the system than Trump, so I don't think the fun stops on Saturday

It’s the timing!! Bobby needs to keep some private security!

Believe it, he needs no advice

Plus the demonstrated complicity with his father and uncle's murders.

Can't he have both?

Yes. But Fed SS will be sticky about "jurisdiction" & who is "in charge. " it def can be done.

Don’t give up your private security detail.

Why on Earth would he trust the Secret Service????

The Secret Service obviously works for the Dems!

It didn't for JFK and RFK Sr!

Q, Why didn't the SS shoot the guy with A RIFLE on the roof?

A. They don't shoot at CIA agents.

Maybe he will have Gavin de Becker‘s team shadowing the secret service.

This does not suggest trust, however all eyes are on the agency...

RFK Jr. just demonstrated he is the true leader this country needs.

Amen!

Louis, Amen is the ending for prayer, not an appropriate response to cheerleading.

Expand full comment

Not solely to end a prayer... It is used in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim practices as a concluding word, or as a response to a prayer. Common English translations of the word amen include "verily", "truly", "it is true", and "let it be so". It is also used colloquially, to express strong agreement.

Thank you, words matter

Actually, RFK has demonstrated his mature, high-level, adult leadership skills every day since he threw his hat in the ring.

based on what exactly??

Expand full comment

RFK Jr., similar to his father, is able to rise above the anger and fear and move forward.

you may want to consider listening to a few of the speakers at the RNC

Never before have I heard such sentiments at a political event.

He's a Kennedy.

They don't have to do anything. HA!

I have read elsewhere that secret service was "stretched thin." Think about that. The richest country in the world, with a polarizing election, can't afford to keep candidates safe? Maybe we should bring some money back from Ukraine...

It would be interesting to know how many people are currently under Secret Service protection, and for what reason.

Expand full comment

We will be getting some details on that soon through Congressional investigations. I am still feeling physically ill over that horrific failure on Saturday and the heartbreaking loss of an innocent life, plus the injuries. This travesty was totally preventable. It is an injury to the entire nation that such a thing could happen! As for being "stretched thin," observe the number of large men surrounding Trump at his convention entrance last night (although perhaps they were private hires). Regardless: we have the resources and manpower to protect our politicians: the question is one of allocation.

The Biden administration caved in after President Trump asked! However I DO NOT TRUST this administration!! Gavin DeBecker was doing great in protecting Bobby! Will now have a shoddy group protecting him??? The Biden administration hates Bobby and will Not want to protect him!

Expand full comment

Maybe true but what option does Bobby have? Continuing paying $150.000/day???

He can now spend the money for ads and video..

I am sure he will also work something out with his own private protection...

Expand full comment

Yes. Pay the dough. And, ad campaigns do not win elections Nationally. The messaging are all over the place, too diluted, and it's been proven negative ads turn voters off .

Expand full comment

He must keep his own private security as well!

DJT as always has impeccable timing and negotiated some type of deal, the beneficiary in this case is RFK.

Wisdom is shouting from the rooftops " RFK Jr should keep his royal guards BUT have Biden PAY for them!!!

Expand full comment

Wisdom has no need of shouting. RFK needs no parlor talk advice. He spoke at length with DJT...

Expand full comment

So excited that the Secret Service who failed to secure rooftops with line of site to a stage nor react when bystanders warned that a man with a gun was climbing up to the unprotected roof, will now be "protecting" RFK Jr

You raise valid concerns, adding to the many reasons for RFK Jr. to approach the Secret Service with a strategic skepticism.

Expand full comment

Bobby really needs to keep his options and eyes open indeed!!!

Expand full comment

You do not approach the SS, they approach "you" on their terms

All eyes on the latest ABC agency to take it in the shorts.

Expand full comment

Bobby will know he's dealing from a position of strength. If he doesn't like the secret service terms he can tell them to stand down. He does not need them. The way I look at it, SS is now the extra backups. Roles have supremely changed in tge last few days. Lastly, Bobby is breaking every mold. "There's a new Sheriff in town."

Expand full comment

Yes, so concerning indeed! I have the same doubts about their efficacity and trust...

This is a nice gesture, but obviously the Secret Service is not up to the job, Kennedy knows this better than anyone given his family history. I certainly hope he will keep his private security detail!!

Yes, the primary significance of this is recognizing RFK Jr. as a major candidate. The security benefit remains to be seen.

Not a Two person race Anymore! He is now a Major candidate as well! And it’s A THREE person Race!Kennedy24🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Expand full comment

Inaccurate, the primary significance is the capitulation of Bidenistas to DJT.

RFK in this case the apparent beneficiary...

Expand full comment

Right at the moment DJT knows it better than anyone. Not minimizing the lurid history of the Kennedy clan. We do not need hope we need a well thought out plan.

DJT has always been 5 steps ahead, always.

Thank you for the story. Excellent reporting. While the government cannot be trusted, the decision can now be Kennedy’s as to utilizing SS or his private detail team that has a proven track record of keeping him safe. 🙏🏽

Expand full comment

Proven Track record? He is actually not perceived as a direct threat, just siphoning votes off Dems. DJT team might have said the same until Butler!! To crowds of 60K plus

Expand full comment

Agree with Andrew J. Cass - go with private security, let the donors pay for it. The SS appears to be seriously compromised. Whether it's DEI related or politically related, or both and more, the SS has had a number of eyebrow-raising snafu's these past few years.

On a similar vein, does anyone truly believe that Mayorkas gives a flying frig about RFKjr, Trump or in general, the American public?

"Irresponsible" is way too mild a word.

Expand full comment

And the motivation is that RFK is sucking voters from Bidenista, not from DJT.

Expand full comment

Don't change horses mid stream. Let common sense prevail ! Let Biden PAY and keep Kennedy protection in Play. Beyond the "budget" for protection, the most important skill is awareness of heart because you are loyal to your leader. Do NOT agree to using their people at this point because the last incident demonstrared their service awarenesses may have some secrets? When RFK Jr is elected, then the topic can be investigated and revamped

Expand full comment

Not sure this is an act to celebrate given the Secret Service's secret agenda - certainly Saturdays events reveal there to be one.

The most thorough review of America's underbelly of power, now being revealed in accordance with planetary design, points to a devilish plan no one is talking about. The source? An amalgamation of the most powerful American institutions, in an effort to stop Trump in his bid to stop the American War Machine.

Summary and crux at the subheading:

"So, here’s a theory which could line up with current events…

The timing of the event is suspicious. If the assassination had been successful, the Republicans would have had to choose another candidate at the Republican National Convention, happening about now. Given that it took place after the crucial debates which sealed Biden’s fate, this makes me wonder if it was a coup attempt by a Republican conspiracy.

Consider that only two other candidates on ‘his side’ have delegates: Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley. While Haley is a neocon and DeSantis is undecided, both align in the three crucial sectors; they support the Israel lobby, they support the intelligence agencies current leadership, and they back wars in the Middle East and Europe. Trump does not.

Note also that some time ago, Vivek Ramaswamy went on record saying that the only reason Nikki Haley had not dropped out - despite having zero populist support - was because her donors were “plotting to eliminate Trump from the ballet”.

To address the three major institutions - the intelligence agencies, Israel lobby, and military contractors - one must look at Trumps rhetoric. This explains why his own party would be motivated to take him out. I will draw comparisons with the most obvious individual - JFK.”

Interesting theory. I haven’t considered this yet. Possibly it could be a behind closed doors combined effort between both corrupt Republicans and the Dems to remove Trump? It’s been done before. Seems like almost every time the elites and wealthy and career politicians feel their pocketbooks and interests are threatened it happens that way. Certainly something I’m going to spend time thinking about.
