public events in the u.s. just since april. there's a stark difference between a national security mission. that's important for us. >> and then a discretionary trip in all things, especially if there's a threat nature from a state sponsor, he would have to be concerned. retired diplomatic security service agent mark hip says it's not uncommon for former officials to do book tours or paid speeches like pompeo is doing in his case making 6 figures per speech. the law dictates that we have to protect these individuals out of the other concern for them. but hip says when there's a credible threat announcing where you're going and when you'll be there puts lives at risk, especially if the purpose isn't america's national security, but rather personal gain. does it ever get to a point where you would consider it to be irresponsible? i mean, i wouldn't go as far as responsibility. i would go with the morality of it, you know, because it not only put yourself in harm's way and in such a case, but also pushing those men and that are going to be will restore life story of the most secretaries, if not all pretty much do this as to what extreme they do it too. i'm very reluctant to say if you go into public service and you do things that may get you shot by a foreign adversary. >> you can't go on a book tour. >> the amounts of money you're talking about for security. millions of month. >> congressman brad sherman who serves on the house foreign affairs committee says when it comes to personal travel paid speeches and campaign events like pompeo has been doing finding a balance between what the public should pay and the legitimate need to protect the nation's officials who served the country is difficult. i want the professionals to decide. >> how big is this security detail and does pompeo need a security detail? and if so, where? and the professionals did decide that last november, a planned trip to the united arab emirates was simply too risky for pompeo and his agents. >> given the threat against him, news nation has learned that pompeo security warned him not to go to the u a e but that he dismissed the state department's concerns and went anyway. it was a paid gig that earned him. >> hundreds of thousands of dollars. and that's in addition to what sources tell news nation exclusively is a planned 1.1 million dollar taxpayer funded up great. >> pompeo is new 3 and a half million dollar virginia home to beef up security. we caught up with the former secretary to ask about the record costs and the hefty public event schedule all in the face of a serious threat. >> but joe news nation couple questions about your overseas travel costs. so you're getting a million dollar upgrade to the house. paid for by the public. is there risk could be putting yourself oversee so much. >> our questions and are multiple requests for interviews. all went unanswered. to put a finer point on how much money we're talking about here in terms of an increase, the unclassified, but sensitive documents that we've obtained for our investigation showed that congress use to cap how much money they would give for former officials from the state department who've retired if they're facing a threat. >> at 15 million dollars a year for their protection. well, this year alone, pompeo is going to blow through that. it's going to be more than 24 million dollars. so this year, republicans and democrats had to go back to the drawing board and literally rewrite their budget and the 2022 budget. it's not 15 million anymore. the maximum is now 30 million. the first time that has ever happened in washington. joe khaleel news nation. >> up next, you might say that taking bars are not really unique here in the bay area, but this one in the north
