NOBODY has the RIGHT to be allowed to say what they want on TV.

I don't think TV has anything to do with this.
There are public spaces to which anyone can have access. For security purposes, the secret service can close off certain areas to the public. The secret service shoud not have the right to close off certain areas to a subset of people in anticipation of how they will exercise their right to free speech in that area. Again, I don't care if they close off the area to everyone, but to deny only people who are expected to say certain things access to public spaces is as aversive as denying access to public space on the basis of race or religion.
