When Chris asked former CIA intelligence operative Mike Baker if Trump should hire private security he answers that wouldn't be a good idea. He says the Secret Service is more than capable of protecting Trump.
Really???? Are they????
That's such an irrational and illogical answer.
Obviously, the Secret Service can't protect Trump!!! The entire world just witnessed that fact!!!!! I wonder if his life was the one in question if he'd have the same answer. We've watched the federal government try to destroy Trump for the last 8 years, now they've upped it to assassination.
Why would anyone continue to trust them????

Used to like this guy when was on Gutfeld's RedEye, but as time as gone on he gives no real opinions or info at all - talks in circles. Don't trust him

Trump, hire Erik Prince. Enough of this.

Would private security be privy to classified info?

I like Mike Baker, but he is wrong here. Former CIA agent Bryan Dean Wright on his podcast The Wright Report recommended Trump get his own security. I especially wouldn’t trust the Secret Service with the Pepsi lady in charge. Once he wins and cleans up the corruption and bad culture inside of it then he can return to letting them handle it.

Meh.... I doubt it. Whatever info is required to secure an event. Erik Prince could hire the most highly skilled warriors who have previously had levels of security clearance.
Erik Prince is a warrior and a leader of warriors.
He outclasses any of our present military leadership.

I don't disagree with this, provided those in command of the Service actually want to do so. The fact that they "failed" is telling given the experience and capabilities of most agents, save the keystone cops the brass conveniently assigned to Trump's detail.

Mike Baker is a combination of stupid and also a lackey for the intelligence apparatus. He will never say anything interesting, just beats around the bush at best towards some fashion of an answer of what the state wants you to know.

I don’t understand how he keeps getting on Rogan’s podcast, and I’ve seen people here say they love the Rogan/Baker episodes. I have to conclude these people are brain dead
