Security Measures and Agency Responsibilities

The transcript discusses the security arrangements for an event where Trump was speaking. Kimberly Cheel, the director of the Secret Service, explained that local law enforcement was responsible for protecting warehouses outside the inner perimeter. However, there was confusion as local agencies claimed they were not assigned this task.
