Not picking a political side but many people would want that with their own particular leader and some even without the dangerous air hole. 🤣. But to each their own.
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.
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.
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.
imagine getting so mad at your opponent in an online match that you yell out that you have his IP address ect, to then find 4 black armored cars outside your house.
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
This guy _oozes_ professionalism, it's crazy. Very inspirational. He makes working for the Secret Service sound like some form of artisanal craftsmanship
He's the perfect secret service agent. Non threatening in his demeanor, charismatic, soft spoken. You will never see him coming. He's also great at explaining his duties.
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

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.

I really don't think it was a burn, considering how well Delta pays its cabin crew and pilots. I think he was just literally pointing out this isn't your typical airline crew.
Presumably this is meant as a joke, but of course the answer is that it's the _level of dress-up-ness_ that the agents mimic, not the specific outfit. I doubt that female secret service agents are allowed to wear heels and a skirt even if that's what their protectees are wearing, as it would impair their ability to do their jobs.
7:57 - One of the few times in all of these "expert reviews" videos where someone not only analyzes the technical accuracy but also the dramatic undercurrent revolving around the technical details - and very insightfully! Kline and Rhames both do a great job in this scene. His analysis makes Rhames' reaction even deeper than the first impression of it.
I watched a presidential motorcade go by. About 3/4 of the way back, there was an old, faded, dirty electrician's van, with a ladder on the roof and so on, sticking out like a sore thumb.... and standing in the open back door, a fully equipped SWAT / HRT officer.
@@captainpinky8307 They wouldn't let USSS agents use their bathrooms. The Trump administration was basically a four-year scam, with regards to the Secret Service. $200,000,000 just on golf at the president's clubs - with Secret Service agents having to stay at his places, of course. They didn't care about the health or safety of the Secret Service, wouldn't wear masks during COVID, and a lot of Secret Service agents got sick, and even complained publicly, which is totally unheard of in the history of the Secret Service. It's a long list of incompetence and crimes, as with anything Trump-related. I'll take a president who stutters occasionally over that, any time.
This guy is such a good man, you can tell by his eyes. He has also been in battles. Makes me proud noble warriors exist still. You're the best of all of us America, don't let people bring you down.
You love the "Mystery" of the person, the urge to know the person more, which is perfectly normal. Tbh, it happens as well when we're searching for our better half / partner.
George W. Bush dated Richard Nixon's daughter Tricia. Apparently it didn't go all that well. I wonder if they had Secret Service protection during the date.
"Launcher was in fairly close proximity to the president, that would have been picked up by the secret service" "however if the launcher was on top of a building 150 ft away.."
I once worked at an outdoor event that a high level government official was attending. It was in a big grassy park with some small wooded areas and trails. Eventually the crowd started to disperse towards the stage where the government official was set to begin his speech, at which point I noticed a man wearing a dark green suit, black sunglasses, and an ear piece on the grass just off the path. I thought it was just a weird fashion choice at first but then I started to look around and I suddenly noticed DOZENS of these guys in green suits all around us, walking on the grass along the edges of the crowds and standing between the trees. It's crazy how well they blended in with the environment in just a dark green suit and sunglasses. My boss said they were secret service and had been patrolling the area around us all day but I hadn't noticed them until then.
As someone who cooked for Paul Ryan while he was speaker. The secret service, are secret. They know every angle, every car, every boat. It was actually really fascinating to be a part of.
I was at GWB's inauguration. We got there a few days early and the Secret Service was already closing off buildings. Anywhere the President was expected was searched by agents and dogs and then sealed. Most of the agents doing this mundane job that day were like 22 -24 years old.
I went to a school that George H. W. Bush came to speak at, while campaigning in 1988. He spoke on stage at the school theater, which had a side door that the theater kids used to use as a shortcut sometimes. Predictable thing happened: one kid, apparently oblivious that Bush was on stage, came in through the side door and ended up with a gun in his face. That's the story, anyway. You'd think that USSS agents would have simply locked that door, but maybe they wanted it unlocked in case of an emergency, if they needed to get out that way in a hurry.
@@linusp9316locking the door seems like it could've been a safety thing because if he needed to be moved quickly, a locked door would be a hindrance. also they aren't supposed to evacuate through a crowd or go through the front doors so having a side or back door readily available seems to be needed
It's always a pleasure listening to someone who knows what he's talking about. Still, I am missing the movies Absolute Power, In the Line of Fire and the shows West Wing and House of Cards. These would have been interesting too. Maybe he does part 2 some day?
Insider's channel did West Wing. 1/10 :P Which I thought was harsh, basically she didn't like that they didn't move him out of the Oval Office and all its windows after an attempted shooting. Which is fair but right afterward she gave the Sinbad movie like a 5...
@ObamaFromKenya how it that unrealistic??? Agents run next to the car, thats tradition, as said in the movie, they literally worked with secret service to make that film
As someone who knows people that have similar jobs, I nearly died at the opening statement!!! I’ve had friends describe it as watching paint dry and grass growing. I think it all depends on the particular detail.
I love this intro. Spent hours at a wedding recently talking to another one of the groomsman I hadn’t met who had just left secret service. Out of everything he had to say, what he kept repeating was how boring it was.
President has no authority over the secret service. He is the commander in chief of the armed forces, that's it. That's what compartmentalize means and that's the separation of power. President is not a divine all powerful god king.
@@externallife1043 that would be cool if it was though, if I was president I would make people eat their underwear for my amusement, even if u got boxers on you still gotta eat em
Over here in Finland people have gone to a supermarket in the evening to find the president standing in a queue to the cashier, like any other random person. I kind of feel sorry for the president of the USA to have to live so restricted life, along with their whole family.
Yeah, there are definitely things the whole family can no longer do again. More than one former president has greatly missed just going for a drive. It's a bummer 😕
I found myself, quite by accident, in the midst of Dr. Biden and her agents at the college when she was Second Lady. My company had given me specific instructions on how to behave around the detail. When I realized it, I immediately raised both hands and said "oh sh*t I'm sorry!" They just waved me along. Dr. Biden smiled and said hello. It was so low key I didn't realize it until I was right on top of them.

Wow that must be a rough conversation to have with the president's kids, especially if they're young. "Listen kid, you've just become the most important child in the US and there are certain people who would like to harm you and here's how".
My uncle worked on The West Wing and was given a few pointers about protection details that the showrunners had gotten wrong in a few scenes. One in particular was when the VP was getting into his limo, an agent was holding an umbrella because it was raining. My uncle was told that wouldn't be right because their hands are free to provide protection.
@@onnowesterman4825 The actual secret service's hands are/would be free to provide protection. The show agents' hands were not free to provide protection. It was plenty clear.
I think one of the funniest things the Secret Service had to contend with is one of Jimmy Carter's sons. I think it was Chip. He would go off horseback riding with his "team". At some point he would find a way to ditch them. Mind you, this would be in the middle of nowhere. Chip (or whatever son it was) would get a good lead on his protection. At least a 1/4 mile or more. He would carry a gun with him legally. At some point he would stop, fire off a round, then lay down next to his horse and then wait for the reaction when his "team" caught up to him. Those that were regularly assigned knew the drill but he would do this to the "newbies" that were assigned while the others went along with it. I am betting that he made more than a few crap their pants.
@@hamsterfromabove8905 Technically the USSS train for any eventuality they can think of, but some things get missed or are deemed too unlikely to happen. Essentially it's not that it would never happen, but that it'd be extremely unlikely in the manner it was shown, due to the techniques they use. Hence why he says anomalous. It'd be an anomaly. But they can and have happened before an almost certainly will happen again.
I see the VC-25, aka Air Force one when the President is on board, frequently when it is practicing Touch and go landings at Newport News Airport. It's an incredible aircraft. Also, I knew quite a few Secret Service Agents back in the late 80s when a dear friend and her husband were agents. I was a Flight Attendant then and would have the advance teal of the protection detail on flights.
I can suggest 2 other "president" protection movies - "The Tall Target" is about the plot to assassinate Lincoln before the inauguration and "Suddenly" is about a plot to assassinate an unnamed president. I really enjoyed "The Tall Target".
I remember flying Space A into KADW and we taxied right up next to the 747 (Not Air Force 1 at that moment) used by the president. I was thinking, "Wow! It's just right there." We debarked on the tarmac within a few yards. He's right, there is an intrinsic atmosphere of awe surrounding the aircraft.
I’m not a Secret Service agent, but I have studied filmmaking. The only reason that we would see in any movie a member of the president’s staff show a reporter around was to familiarize the audience with the movie’s layout of Air Force One. I don’t know how accurate that layout is, but that doesn’t matter so much as long as it is the service of the story. Logically, it makes sense that in reality the press would only be introduced to the parts of the plane that they’re allowed to be in by the Air Force and Secret Service.
i like how they never said anything about the scene in olympus has fallen where they are on the bridge leaving camp david. there is no bridge near camp david let alone on it. it’s a small compound on the top of a mountain

Lmao I was looking for this comment
20:18 he’s so proud of the fact he’s laughed at a First Ladies joke, this man is adorable
This is one of my favorite pro breakdowns. Mr. W is humble, sincere, super knowledgeable & has a sense of humor
I love this series or the presentation of a former government agent breaking down films.
Thanks n bravo 👍🏼
My uncle worked on The West Wing and was given a few pointers about protection details that the showrunners had gotten wrong in a few scenes. One in particular was when the VP was getting into his limo, an agent was holding an umbrella because it was raining. My uncle was told that wouldn't be right because their hands are free to provide protection.
you mean because their hands would not be free to provide protection.. You better rephrase that sentence..
@@onnowesterman4825 The actual secret service's hands are/would be free to provide protection. The show agents' hands were not free to provide protection. It was plenty clear.
He looks like the typical neighborhood dad. Except he can hypnotize you with those blue eyes then BAM.
"Gee. This sandwich is not gonna do me any good..."
Agent: *"NNNnnnnoooOOOOOOO!!!"*
_slow motion belly flops onto the table_
Prolonged periods of boredom, broken up by periods of shear terror. Sounds like my deployments in the army.
you mean to tell me that this teddy bear of a guy is a secret service agent?
cool
Former secret service agent
"and the food is fantastic"
And the president's wife tastes fantastic
How could you not have him react to guarding Tess. An entire movie about Secret Service agents.
oh yes loved that movie
I think one of the funniest things the Secret Service had to contend with is one of Jimmy Carter's sons. I think it was Chip. He would go off horseback riding with his "team". At some point he would find a way to ditch them. Mind you, this would be in the middle of nowhere.
Chip (or whatever son it was) would get a good lead on his protection. At least a 1/4 mile or more. He would carry a gun with him legally.
At some point he would stop, fire off a round, then lay down next to his horse and then wait for the reaction when his "team" caught up to him.
Those that were regularly assigned knew the drill but he would do this to the "newbies" that were assigned while the others went along with it.
I am betting that he made more than a few crap their pants.
12:49 “hey kid have you seen where my protectee is” AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But what about House of Cards, where the President literally gets shot?

TIL that "anomalous" is Secret Service speak for "BS."
Yea, in this context "anomalous" means, "we don't have a specific rule against it, but it would never happen".
@@hamsterfromabove8905 Technically the USSS train for any eventuality they can think of, but some things get missed or are deemed too unlikely to happen. Essentially it's not that it would never happen, but that it'd be extremely unlikely in the manner it was shown, due to the techniques they use. Hence why he says anomalous. It'd be an anomaly. But they can and have happened before an almost certainly will happen again.
@@30secondstomarsMBH If the chance is greater than zero, best to have a plan for it.
I liked the photos in the beginning, like "You've seen me a hundred times, you just didn't know it."

I love videos like this that have been coming out because it helps as a great resource for writers
Secret service biggest enemy is a sloped roof
I see the VC-25, aka Air Force one when the President is on board, frequently when it is practicing Touch and go landings at Newport News Airport. It's an incredible aircraft. Also, I knew quite a few Secret Service Agents back in the late 80s when a dear friend and her husband were agents. I was a Flight Attendant then and would have the advance teal of the protection detail on flights.
How about “In The Line of Fire”? Clint Eastwood film.
That's the 1st film I thought of.
I can suggest 2 other "president" protection movies - "The Tall Target" is about the plot to assassinate Lincoln before the inauguration and "Suddenly" is about a plot to assassinate an unnamed president. I really enjoyed "The Tall Target".
At 6:40 he says “you see that b-secret service agent” and I could just feel him bout slip up and say black guy 😂😂
All i can say is that i can never be a secret service agent, i might accidentally tell someone all about my country's secrets during dinner😂
I remember flying Space A into KADW and we taxied right up next to the 747 (Not Air Force 1 at that moment) used by the president. I was thinking, "Wow! It's just right there." We debarked on the tarmac within a few yards. He's right, there is an intrinsic atmosphere of awe surrounding the aircraft.
I’m not a Secret Service agent, but I have studied filmmaking. The only reason that we would see in any movie a member of the president’s staff show a reporter around was to familiarize the audience with the movie’s layout of Air Force One. I don’t know how accurate that layout is, but that doesn’t matter so much as long as it is the service of the story. Logically, it makes sense that in reality the press would only be introduced to the parts of the plane that they’re allowed to be in by the Air Force and Secret Service.
i like how they never said anything about the scene in olympus has fallen where they are on the bridge leaving camp david. there is no bridge near camp david let alone on it. it’s a small compound on the top of a mountain
They also didn't talk about this movie at all. They featured Angel has Fallen.
I wonder what happens when an agent needs to use the restroom
That's why they have multiples
Fun Fact: The set used for Air Force One Is the same one used on the pilot of NCIS
The flight crew is an Air Force special duty assignment. The interview and vetting process is pretty in depth.
Wow man
His calm posture with effective explanation was just Awesome 👍
