Can you do anything spontaneous when it comes to the role of the Secret Service.

Well you have to have the president doesn't know where he's going in the jackal doesn't know where he's going and I know that potential assassin so there are some moments of slim spontaneity but the reality is.

The -- difference large either way and there's going to be some repercussions for traffic and things like that so we -- that.

We try to reduce spontaneity as much as possible by the -- the frenzy as states and if he wants to do subsidies no running out for burger that no -- there's no jumping like they said that -- retirement -- -- the most difficult part about securing.

The president -- about protecting the leader of the free world.

Crowd control definitely they're very excited there's excited seat -- president that's not really a partisan issue that goes for Republicans Democrats and a certain under three presidents.

Crowd control can be tough because people live in the moment.
