Speaker 3: Secret Service failures ahead of the attempted assassination of Donald

Speaker 2: the mother will now plead guilty to second degree murder
Speaker 2: and will serve fifty five years to life. In what's

Speaker 2: to fifteen million dollars. They were chosen from a vast
Speaker 2: pool of people who applied for the money. The funding
Speaker 2: this past winner, and they're each getting between three grand
Speaker 2: and thirty thousand bucks. You can thank the Massachusetts Repay Program,
Speaker 2: first launch two years ago. Security top of mind in
Speaker 2: so many communities this new season, and Reverers among them.

Speaker 5: already been taken to discourage disruptive behavior at the Central Library.
Speaker 5: Now the city is in talks with private security vendors
Speaker 5: to have guards on patrol. Parents and students, however, are
Speaker 5: mixed on the idea. That doesn't seem quite like the
Speaker 5: right response to me. I mean, it's a public library.
Speaker 5: I feel like, yeah, it is needed.
Speaker 2: There are some kids, We've seen a couple of things
Speaker 2: happening up there in the library.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it is needed at times.
Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy to need security at a library,
Speaker 2: but you have to do what you have to do.
