    This man just roasted delta airlines “the flight attendant aren’t like ones on delta. They are fully trained professionals”
  • @DazikLP
    If a President plays an online shooter, does the secret service have to join their team to protect them there too? You have to protect them during their hobbies, after all.
  • "If it was up-to the Secret Service We'd have the president in a big steel box with a little vent for air" This Cracked Me Up
  • You can tell how serious a job it is by the fact that he considers it noteworthy and special that he ONCE laughed at something the First Lady said. Like it was a privilege to even be there, and a huge honor to have been able to laugh at something that was said. Professionals to the very end.
  • @justwannapost69
    I'll never get over government officials having to admit that Veep is way more accurate then you'd want it to be
  • @goji5887
    This guy oozes professionalism, it's crazy. Very inspirational. He makes working for the Secret Service sound like some form of artisanal craftsmanship
  • @JustATravelerr
    Found it interesting when he stated that training usually requires agents to understand previous failures of the secret service... sounds like a fun history class lol
  • @fiona-lyons
    He's got such a calm aura about him. I would believe him if he told me I'd be safe.
  • "Its prolonged periods of boredom only broken up by moments of sheer terror." Literally what being a soldier in WW1 was like.
  • @Toastoffire100
    18:37 Famous example of this: Archduke Franz Fernidand was assassinated after his driver made a wrong turn, and out of sheer coincidence, got stuck in a traffic jam RIGHT next to where one of the assassins had stopped for a sandwich after the bombing attempted had failed
  • @treeking9445
    "mostly boredom with moments of sheer terror" me sits up in chair
  • @agustinrico3304
    This guy looks like your friendly neighbor who always barbecues out in the back yard during the Fourth of July, yet he could probably break my arm and leg at the same time if I come at him
  • @aisadal2521
    I'm loving this series of former government agents breaking down films!
  • @StefanMiller
    president gets attacked Expert: "that's not how protection works."
  • You blend so well. You look like a high school guidance counselor. Perfect.
  • @WookieChef
    This is easily one of the best breakdowns I've seen. The agent actually guided the viewer about what was to come and explained procedures instead of just saying what was wrong with the scene. Well done.
  • @onemorechris
    Honestly, it must be a pain in the neck being a high level individual as well as having to protect them. Going on a fishing trip becomes a ridiculous dance of security and planning.
  • @The_A_Cast
    It’s amazing how calm and completely professional this guy is, yet we all know he is hella deadly!
  • @KingFlowDG
    “Have u seen Where my protectee is???” Lmao I lost it….😂😂🤣
