breaking news good morning and welcome to a special weekend edition of cnn this morning, i am kasie hunt on this sunday, where we are covering breaking news. the assassination attempt on former president donald trump. we just got new video of the moment that people at the rally spotted the spotted the shooter a warning what you're about to see and hear is graphic really difficult early this morning, fbi officials identified the shooter twenty-year-old, thomas mathew crooks. this appears to be the shooter lying on the roof of a building close to the rally after he was shot and killed by secret service. he was from bethel park pennsylvania. it's about 35 miles from the site of

the rally in butler. as for the victims, investigators say they identified a rally goers who was shot and killed, two others who were critically injured. they are not yet revealing their identities. one man covered in blood told cnn crews at the scene he tried to comfort one of the victims seconds after the shooting all we know is shots were fired and then i jumped over the barrier put my hand on guys who was it you know a spokesperson says that the former president is quote, fine, and former president trump himself posted on truth social, then a bullet hit his right ear and just a few hours ago, he flew back to newark new jersey, presumably on route to bedminster where he has a club. we are learning more. also about the 20-year-old gunman's background this morning, crooks is a registered republican in pennsylvania, but he apparently also made a small donation to a democratic aligned group in

2021 cnn's reached, out to crypsis father, who declined to comment until speaking with police, but he did tell us he was still trying to figure out what the hell is going on and quote a cnn analysis of the scene shows the roof where the shots were fired and that it's about 150 yards away from the stage where trump was speaking. cnn's danny freeman went to the scene. he's got more on just how wide the scope of this investigation is going to be. >> yeah. kasie, we're really just now getting a perspective on how massive this investigation is going to be. the fbi confirming overnight that they are officially investigating this as an assassination attempt on former president donald trump's life. meanwhile, the pennsylvania state police, they say that they are also taking the lead on the house on the side investigation of one of the rally goers at this trump campaign event, and also the shooting of two other campaign rally attendees who are now in critical condition. let's get to the biggest question. of

course, how in the world could this have happened? really, we did not get a lot of answers from this press conference overnight. i asked the fbi specifically was this a failure of security? and the fbi representative here said that they are still assessing where there may have been failures in the security process for this particular trump campaign event, but a lot of the questions that reporters were asking during this overnight press conference were referred to the u.s. secret service, but the challenge was kasie, that secret service not have a representative at this press conference to take some of these questions. the other thing i'll note, kasie though, is that again, just to explain and really put a point on the massive scale of this investigation. the fbi, pennsylvania state police, other law enforcement agencies are asking the public, please, if you have any cell phone video, any information he shouldn about anything that may be related to the shooting that happened at this trump event, please. please hand it in because they will be looking at all of that as they continue to figure out exactly what led to

this horrific and tragic moment on saturday casey are danny freeman, thanks very much danny for that with the fbi taking the lead on this massive investigation, there are still plenty of unanswered questions joining me now to discuss how the fbi, all other agencies will handle. next step, cnn, national security analyst juliette kayyem, juliette, good morning to you. i know you've been up late through the night. let's just bring everyone up to speed about what this investigation is gonna look like going forward. >> so this is a political assassination attempt, at least and may fall into domestic terrorism tight cases. we don't have a domestic terrorism domestic statute, but we certainly have a federal laws that would cover this attempt. so that's why the fbi has stepped in and his team thinking, lead they will look at sort of two lanes of possibilities. are two lanes of inquiry at this stage. one is, of course is the shooter who is now dead, is were there were

there any others involved it for this potentially be conspiracy? the early reporting suggests no, but you still have to determine whether there's an ongoing threat. the second is of course, to motives. yesterday, i was on explaining a variety of motives. people want to assume things i think we ought to be very careful about that. this seems like he mixed motive assassination attempt that, that may include support for left-wing causes, support for the republican party and also maybe nothing having to do with politics. we will learn more about that at this stage relatively students that's why the fbi is going to start its inquiry and then i have to say there will be a separate investigation, of course, about the secret service. there will be an after-action review you cannot sit here and say that wasn't a security failure there.

there's there's too many patients shares at this stage to suggest that the people knew what was about to happen. and it took way too long yes. >> julia, i mean, i've i've covered dozens of events like this and it is you look at the roofs around you when you go into this, there are always snipers typically visible that are there to protect hecht, the person in question, obviously, we've seen video of there was a team there to protect former president trump, but had that kind of kind of a role but then of course, the secret service did not attend the law enforcement press conference late last night. what does that say to you? were you surprised by that was i mean, part of it is they must have seen that the narrative was beginning to turn on them and they may not have the answers yet. >> what did the sniper, the secret service sniper, know what the time that he knew it was, information getting from people who are noticing that the assassin was up on the

rooftop and to the secret service, we can put together from the next day later in that day and narrative that fits into, well, obviously, trump was about to get killed and are an attempt on but it was about to be taken in. why didn't they shoot him? we simply don't know that after action, which may expose some liability for the secret service suggests why they were not there. they were not prepared to answer them. we've gotten statements from the head of the secret service, as well as secretary mayorkas at the department of homeland security but that's that's all at this stage. it was very unfortunate. i don't i have to say given the seriousness of what happened, we cannot forget what happened yesterday was it was a assassination attempt against one of two people who is likely to be the next president the fbi, essentially saying, well, we don't know why it took so

long. we don't we can explain the secret service is not a good look for federal law enforcement. we need to keep a unified explanation and be honest about the secrets versus both prevention efforts, preparedness efforts as well as response. >> right? we should note, i think that the former president has thanked the officers that were there. you see a number of them in the frame there with him two who were willing to jump in there, although of course, all of your points are well taken about how we have ended here at juliette. i'm you've done a lot of work on counterterrorism, domestic terrorism, as well clearly, the number of threats against our politicians has just exploded in recent years. i think all of us dreaded a moment. like this one what does it tell you that we are here? have we seen something like this in are

obviously we've had assassinate political assassinations in the past. what do you see in this particular moment? in our history this is 2024. >> many of us were documenting is it was a year in which violence or the threat of violence was a hung over our democratic processes in a way that there might be historical precedent, but it is unprecedented for a modern times so reason why is because the threat environment wasn't particularly targeted. it was just basically an inflamed threat environment. now, just based on the fbi, most of that threat came from the right wing towards in particular, judges are election officials. and i'm just quoting the fbi numbers at this stage. some of it from the left what we may have here, and i was very careful yesterday and admonishing other analysts to train who are trying to fit this into some narrative that were good. they are bad, they're bad. we're good. whatever it is. this is likely

a mixed motive issue in which we have a suspect is now dead with alliances towards republican party a contribution to a left-wing group, who knows what his mental capacity is. and so we can't can't fit, don't try to fit motive into your political predisposition. look at the totality, which is violence as part of our democratic process that doesn't get cured by stopping one person are having a stronger security perimeter. as i wrote overnight in the atlantic you can't put a security perimeter around democracy, right? i mean, in other words, this is our democratic institutions that are under the threat environment that is going to take leadership. it's going to take us taking a step back and understanding what we've become. and then also engagement by our citizens condemning it across the board, violence across the board as you run the atlantic, quote, political violence reveals deep

cultural dysfunction and that dysfunction is what our leaders must address. >> no security perimeter can shield our fractured democracy. juliette kayyem, thank you very much for being here. as always, i really appreciate it. all right. next here, overnight, the fbi identifying the shooter in the assassination attempt on former president trump. we're going to continue our breaking news coverage next what's up, guys? >> i'm scott and welcome to my home hotel collections, studio center. i recently started using their sense of user here in my head and held home. and this is a must-have product. their hotel fired send, make my place always smell like a luxury five-star hotel. i don't know about you, but having a home that smells this good is bracelet checkout hotel collection.com make sure your house always knowing good to take a pea sized amount, apply it like a lotion pits under

donald trump and was updated and briefed on the situation. we aren't really clear. are sure what he said during the it's phone call, but we know that alongside trump, he also talked to the butler mayor and also pennsylvania governor and almost in a sense reflects what he said at the press conference. and that was him denouncing political violence, saying if there's no place for this, and he really made this stop just to talk about how he's going to be investing resources and doing everything as possible at this time. so let's talk about those resources because obviously in this situation, the white house has and the administration has a critical role to play because this is going to be a sprawling investigation. and of course, the secret service is continuing to protect the president and the former president, as well as they both run for office here. so what can we expect in terms of resources at this point in time? biden just said that he's still looking to get more clarification and more updates on what occurred. we know that the fbi is launching full-scale investigation into this matter and says that they are going to

invest all their resources into investigating what has happened. we know that they opened up a tip line and that they're going to work with the secret service alongside state and local enforcement. and so that is something that we know the fbi is taking the lead role on, but it's still yet to be seen what other resources they're going to be dedicated to this matter. all right. camila dechalus versus morning camila. thank you very much all right. donald trump's campaign says that they are ramping up the security presence at their offices with 24/7 armed security on site. in a memo to staff campaign managers also calling for unity, saying, quote, it's our fervent hope that this horrendous act we'll bring our team and indeed the nation together in unity. and we must all renew our commitment to safety and peace for our country. the campaign went on to say the republican national convention will go on as planned in milwaukee on monday. i'm headed there right after this joining me now to talk more about this republican strategist, matt gorman, cnn senior analyst, political, political analyst, ron brownstein. good morning to both of you. ron, i actually

want to start with you because this is obviously an incredibly difficult moment in our history in american history. i know you've covered campaigns for quite some time this security issue that the campaign is dealing with, of course, is front and center in terms of how we're covering this breaking news. but i'm interested in your reflections on this moment why and how we got here and where we go from here i think this moment is the culmination or maybe just another step in a process we have been living through for some time the threats of political violence and attempts to political violence have become much more common than in earlier generations it's become kind of a backbeat for our, for our politics and we have seen it against prominent targets. >> this being the most, but

also the governor michigan, the house majority leader threats about supreme court justices. but we've also seen it at the local level, at the grassroots, at the base of american politics local election officials after 2020 and public health officials and city council members during covid and the judges and prosecutors working on the trump cases in the current environment it is being routinized to an extent that i think is unprecedented since at least the years before the civil war in the 1960s, we had the horrific least spectacular assassination of jfk of rfk and martin luther king. but i don't think we had the breadth of what we are witnessing now, and it is kind of an inflection point because i think the clear message is that this is the trajectory we are on where events like this are going to become more common unless there is a broad consensus to try to step away from this abyss. >> it is an abyss indeed. and

matt gorman, i mean, you were recently working on a tim scott's presidential campaign can you let us into how you would think about this on on a presidential campaign and how that's honestly changed over the years because i mean, you and i first got to know each other covering when i covered the romney campaign back in 2012, you obviously worked on campaigns going forward from there in 2016, as well. i mean, look, i remember talking to some of my mentors on the campaign trail who had started out covering ted kennedy in 1980, when this was something that was very, very present for the kennedy family. but it's not something that we i had to grapple with in this kind of very front and center way or that we as a country had to grapple with in the years leading up to now. but our, the climate has just changed so dramatically. >> you're right and look, this was full scale secret service, essentially nominee protection. trump sat there for about a decade now, but there's a time

and trump added to before you have that where there isn't that sort of protection, right? where it might be security guard or someone who's hired for that or some team? and there is a volatility and its evolved right now. in today's day and age, i would say in the last five or so years that it's something that campaigns have to absolutely think about from day one and let's face it too, if you're running for president, you're some sort of national political figure. you're likely already getting some sort of consistent threat unfortunately, it kind of in today's politics and so those have to be taken into account. i know tim was sitting senator, so of course you're going to get that sort of thing. governors that have worked forward to the same sort of thing. and it's always in the front of your mind. but that being said you can't let it inhibit your ability, especially in primaries to get really up close and with voters, right? >> well, i mean, and as you can see, i mean, when we're looking at these pictures mean donald trump was not allowing the security situation to prevent him from being right there in

the crowd with his people. and you saw kind of the defiant reaction and from them, obviously shock, horror in the immediate aftermath. but this was a situation where you saw him the former president donald trump starts to yell, fight the crowd, responding back to him. ron brownstein, i mean, on that note you mentioned 1968, which of course but the parallels are just sort of stunning really especially with democrats about to hold their convention in chicago in a couple of weeks. the rnc, of course, getting underway tomorrow. can you sort of dig into and just talk a little bit more about that moment for our country. and this one, and how they are or are not parallel well, you know, it in 1968 was a moment where the scenes really seem to be unravelling in american life

not only the assassinations but also just the intense conflict over vietnam the urban, the unrest, the riots that followed the death of martin luther king the convention and the violence that happened there i look at this as more of a slow burn you know that basically we are seeing not only a heightened polarization of our politics, even talk. >> i wrote a book in 2007 called the second civil war did not think it would be quite so literal. that's been going on for awhile. what's been escalating as the center and so i think that voters feel that many voters in each coalition feel that a victory by the other is a existential threat to america as they understand and appreciate it. and look, there are real differences between the parties. there are real stakes between the parties. but, you know, unless

some of us are going away or we are going to split up this country. we need to find a more productive way to live together and again, like this is a moment that either allows you to kind of think about how you point the ship in that direction or you kind of further inflame the division. and i think it's going to be important to see what political leaders on both sides, due in the next few days, including trump himself. i mean, how does he respond to this in terms of his sometimes, often inflammatory rhetoric? and how do democrats respond you know, in terms of the way they described him it really is a moment where we can choose what what, what comes next. >> yes, we can very important point. ron brownstein, matt gorman. thank you. both coming up next here we continue to get new details in about the assassination attempt on former president trump witnesses telling police that the shooter was moving from roof to roof

before the shootings. we're going to have more on all this breaking news coming up what's it like to hear from the people actually living the headlines? i'm audie cornish, might cnn podcast. we'll talk to the people behind the trending stories. i've got a lot of questions assignment with audie cornish listen wherever you get your podcasts do not buy generic viagra until you check out this program, giving away 100 milligrams generic viagra for just $0.87 cvs and walgreens don't want you to know about this because they sell the same tablets for 30 to $40 each. don't believe me. look at this. this is from cvs. look, nine tablets, 100 milligrams, sildenafil, aka generic viagra for $406. that's $45 a tablet. this is from walgreens, $417 for nine tablets of 100 milligrams sildenafil, or $46 a tablet you

trump posted on his truth social platform that a bullet hit his right ear. a spokesperson says, he is quote, fine, this video shows the suspect who was shot and killed on the roof of a nearby building. the fbi has identified him as 20-year-old thomas mathew crux of bethel park, pennsylvania. records show he was a registered republican and that he made a small donation to a democratic aligned group the fbi is appealing for the public's help in the investigation. ron brownstein and matt gorman are back with me now. matt gorman, let me start with you just in terms of you are a plugged in republican strategist we are starting to hear some things from republican officials. they are by-in-large messages of support for former president denunciations of violence. but it is it is undeniable that the moment that we saw play out last night is going to change this election campaign fundamentally. and as clearly some sort of significant point

in our history. >> yeah, i mean, we over blew over two weeks ago before the debate. we often kept saying, oh, it's kind of boring election is static election certainly not that way anymore and, it will change. i think it'll change his country and we will remember where we were. we remember kind of how this changes. we just don't know candidly, in what way. and i think in the short term, this will change the convention. i a little bit, i think you're going to see that kind of iconic image now with trump in the flag looking everywhere can we put that? that's an image from him. you're going to see that everywhere is going to i mean, jonathan martin in politico this morning writes that this is going to be the enduring image much of the election. >> i think you're right. i think i think certainly that will be the case. you're gonna see that everywhere milwaukee when when he comes out on what's likely to be monday night, according to some reports, to introduce the vice president it's going to be i think a triumphant mood and i think he's going to hear it's

going to get very loud in there in a good way. i think we don't know how this is going to change the campaign this country in the days to come. but it certainly will ron brownstein to that point. >> i mean, my mother remembers where she was when when jfk was shot, she was a young girl. i i was with my family at the pool last night when this unfolded, my sons about five i'm not sure if he's going to remember it or not. i struggled with whether or not to say something, but i also thought to myself this is the kind of moment where you do remember where you are. and it can be the kind of moment that defines not just this campaign, but intense period in our history and the jonathan martin at over at, now at politico formally of the new york times is out talking about just how quickly some of this rhetoric is turning political and how we are remembering these other intensely political moments

you're just looking at pictures of the jfk assassination and how do you think about this in terms of it being the kind of moment that is one where you remember where you were i think the social impact is going to be more profound than the political impact, the near term political impact we are a very dug-in country january 6, you know, you can remember where you were and here we are a little over three years there's later and the lines of division between the parties aren't that different than they than they were before. i think there will be surge of understandable sympathy for the former president but i think that the race will look eventually a lot like it did before, except perhaps for greater republican turnout. the real impact i think it is a toward the kind of the social question like, like the assassination of the

60s kind of made us wonder where we were headed as a society. and i think that this attack and really brings that into light, as i said, we have seen an attempt to kidnap and kill a democratic governor or a shooting attempted to shooting of a house republican. threats against local officials. this is being woven into the fabric of our political life. in a way that really is unprecedented in its breadth except perhaps for the 1850s when we had you know, k-means on the floor of the of the u.s. senate and i think that is where where we will go it may be that there is no coherent political motive often in this case, the shooter's tripod political, her scope is so idiosyncratic that it doesn't mean anything to anyone outside of their own head, but there's still tells us something about where we are headed as a society. and i think it is not a place where most americans want to yeah, i mean, i have to agree with you on that in terms of it being

just not not where we want to be. and matt, i mean, when i think back up on we were talking a little bit about our careers run obviously has covered many of these campaigns. but when i think back to the things that forged me while the presidential campaigns did not have this kind of violence. when i remember back when the first time i covered this was gabby giffords. that happened to her. i covered steve scalise after he was shot at baseball practice for the congressional baseball game. this is something that has become part of the fabric of how we do this. and it's horrifying. >> it is, it's unfortunate, but it seems like every couple of years this bubbles up in a very terrible way and this is the unfortunate latest iteration of that and it's it's often we know the ending of this story, at least in the short term, being that president trump, former president trump's okay. six inches or an inch to the other

side, matter of millimeter matter. millimeters. it is a scary, scary thought where that goes and so i just we were we thankfully he's okay. a terrible that the rally attendee that died don't want to minimize that in any other way, but things could have been different, very different with just an insurer there all right. >> matt gorman, ron brownstein, standby for me. we're going to we're going to talk some more about this throughout this hour. i'm still ahead. we are hearing from top republican and democratic lawmakers following the assassination attempt on donald trump will dig into their reactions just ahead. >> next sunday, i'll special how would have the moose next sunday at nine on cnn. >> how can experian boost help if finds payments i already made life insurance streaming phone to build my credit. and it's from experience, the credit experts, more ways to

will. i trust and will.com and make it count. >> i'm sunlen serfaty in washington and this is cnn all right, welcome back messages of concern for former president trump are pouring in from leaders around the world. and for members of congress, the house speaker mike johnson posted on x saying that the house will conduct a full investigation of the tragic events saying that the american people deserve to know the truth and that the secret service fbi, and dhs officials

will join a hearing and house committees as soon as possible senate majority leader chuck schumer also posted saying that he is horrified by what happened and he says that political violence has no place in our country of course, the investigation is underway into what the fbi is calling an attempted assassination. the fbi taking the lead as this investigation is in its early stages, to put all this into perspective and talk through how this is going to be handled. we are joined now by presidential historian julian zelizer and senior national security analyst, juliette kayyem. she is back with us. juliette, why don't i start with you on kind of the nuts and bolts of this in terms of where we're going to go on the coordination, the fbi leading the effort now, but obviously, the focus squarely on the secret service yes. it'll be two investigations essentially, one of the attempted assassin or the assassin attempted to take donald trump's life. and then of course, what we would

call an after-action regarding what the conduct the preparation, the planning by the secret service. let me start with the first. that's a it's nothing typical about it, but that is a you know, a motive based crime of essentially domestic terrorism. there will be federal charges against a federal investigation on charges against him about what in particular about motive and whether there were any coconspirators. so basically we need a narrative of what happened. this could also include, interestingly enough, gun ownership. we've seen in some of these cases extend to access to the gun. how did he get it? was that lawful? so there's going to be a lot of circles to this investigation. the second of course, is the what's more of an internal investigation is is how could a rooftop so close to the to the target essentially be left so

vulnerable? look, there's always going to be a security perimeter that there's no question about it, but given what we know about violence, what we know about political violence, it seemed like a big gap to leave those areas, essentially unprotected from people being able to access them. >> very remarkable julian, we were talking a little bit with ron brownstein second ago about what this what this means, what this says about where we are as a country, how this is going to make people feel. i mean, we have seen an alarming uptick in political violence in recent years, the threats have increased of course, there was the january 6 insurrection. there was a kidnapping attempt against the governor of michigan, gretchen whitmer, the republican leader, steve scalise, was shot at baseball practice. you can go back to gabrielle giffords, a democratic congresswoman, being, being shot as she campaigned in arizona. i'm

curious, as a historian how you have been taking in the events of the last 24 hours, and what you think we as americans should be focused on and talking about in the wake of this well, there's the long term and the short term. the long term is that violence has been part of american political history or the period before the civil war was filled with violence, including on the floor for capitol hill, 1968, so many assassinations, including robert kennedy, who was running for the democratic nomination 1970 wendy to george wallace. he was shot and paralyzed 1981 ronald reagan. there was an attempted assassination fascinations and violence have always been part of american politics, even though we don't like to say that's pretty pervasive part of our history. and then the short term is this uptick.

we've seen in the last decade or so against federal judges politicians where violence has just been increasing as a normalized threat in american politics. so you combine those and that's why this is so explosive. so that's what i'm thinking about. and now it will be upon our leaders and on all of us to try to tamp down the threats that we've had an real security measures which are also going to be essential julian, what sort of parallels do you see in the past, in the recent past in terms of the depth of our political polarization that you think we could learn from or draw on as we all try to go forward after this well, i mean, i think of the late 1960s where the violence was actually quite pervasive. >> you hadn't mainly major leaders over the course of the

decade who had been not only attempted assassination can put killed martin luther king, robert kennedy, john f. kennedy it became part of our life. malcolm x and here we are democratic convention will be in chicago again, and so the parallels are hard to ignore i think that decade was very traumatic for america and i hope that we can move into a better place, but i don't think the divisions are going to increase. i don't think the reason since that violence is possible from guns to more is going to disappear very easily. this is going to be hard work. if we're serious about moving beyond these kinds of threat levels all right, juliette kayyem, julian zelizer for us this morning. thank you very much to both of you all right. still ahead. how will this shooting impact the campaign moving forward, we're going to see more of these large rallies over the next few weeks. what else might change? that's next

expressing their support for the former president, ohio senator jd vance said this quote trump campaign saying the presence. okay, thank god for senator marco rubio, god protected president trump, north dakota governor doug burgum. we all know president trump is stronger than his enemies. the house majority leader steve scalise, who was shot in 2017 at a congressional baseball practice. he said this quote, there has never any place for political violence joining us now at back with us now i should say a former senior adviser to tim scott's presidential campaign, matt gorman. matt we of course, are seeing all of these expressions of support for the former president, prayers for him, hopes that he is okay. but we are seeing some people go a little bit farther than that including jd vance i think thing i want to focus on is one of the things that the trump campaign said in their memo was that hopefully this could, in some way unify our country in

condemnation of this. i think given the state of our politics, it's obviously challenging to understand how that happens going forward. but i think the bottom line here is this clear. this makes it very, very clear that something needs to change yeah, i don't disagree and i am very interested in seeing you know, as we kind of talked about some reported that donald trump will probably emerge in the first in the convention introduced the vice president. >> i wouldn't be surprised. i have no background information, but if he gives remarks and his first one hoards on this, does he see something monday? does he wait until thursday and i think i think we heard from chris lacivita and susie wiles that will likely inform his speech. and a lot of respects. i wouldn't be surprised if it different in large part from that i will say this this, it's going to move very quickly, right? so today is the last day before the convention. hill. rod as vice president,

likely tomorrow. and then it's he's going to have his own speech on thursday this is going to be a very fast moving news cycle. so to speak. yeah. well, i mean, it's worth noting that this did happen on basically the eve of the republican national committee. vance was boast do or maybe was talking about being there. >> it's right across from ohio. there was reports he might be there. you're right. i think there are some reports that he either met with or talk to each of the three quote-unquote finalists earlier that day, right? >> i do have this other tweet from from jd vance where he says today is not just some isolated incident he says the central premise of the biden campaign is president trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. that rhetoric led directly to president trump's attempted assassination. i'm noting that because of the significance of his position inside and around the campaign, he is very, very high profile. and the reality is we're seeing less responsible even things from other members of congress at

this point in terms of the back-and-forth. and i think it's important that we note that the motive here, it's not clear in that there seemed to be contradictory indicators about who this person was. and we have so much to learn from the investigation but you, know, our colleague our former colleague here and now it now with politico jonathan martin. he notes the reality of the ecosystem in which we live, means that this stuff explodes so much faster. there are already quotes from those congressman who was at the rally talking about political motivations for this, people do jumped to conclusions. they are likely to jump into their respective camps it is true, right? >> with social media and everything. these things tend to burn very hot and very quick i am interested in this is, this is a political tactical level. i want to speak about this. i'm very curious to see how this changes the messaging you know, for example, how much does the biden campaign lean and not democracy at risk? and

how does that, again, how does that affect the, you know, kind of what they talk about and i'm very curious and we don't know the answer to that. we don't know how this is going to affect the campaign moving forward. but does this change any messaging from either side? i'm interested to see see that in the days ahead. yeah. well, i mean, i think it's also worth noting the biden campaign was moving as quickly as possible to bring down their political ads? yes. no. i'm not not talking in the short term. i'm longer-term. yeah. yeah. no no for sure matt, how does this do you think change what happens in milwaukee not to be criminalized? >> i say this, it's going to be a triumphant mood. i think the tenor of that photo and the strength one of the things it's an undercurrent less on policy, more about tone is, you know, people that really admire and love president trump. they do. there's always some evoked of strength. they talk about that and i think that that photo that we're seeing a lot

in the last 12 hours it conveys that i think we're going to one of the nights was make america strong again, right? i think the idea of strength is going to, you're going to hear a lot about that in milwaukee? yeah. that president, the former president yelling, fight as he was helped off the stage by secret service. and that instantly iconic image, matt gorman, thank you very much i really appreciate it. all right. stay with us. we're gonna have much more on this breaking news, the assassination attempt on former president donald trump, new details on what witnesses are telling police that they saw and where the investigation patient goes from here you check your nothing. a space shuttle accidents, usually not one thing it's a series of events is that part of the wing coming apart space shuttle columbia, the final flight. >> now streaming on max. here's to getting better with age. here's the beaten these

building close to the rally after he was shot and killed by secret service. he was from bethel park, pennsylvania, about 35 miles from the site of the rally in butler overnight police blocked off the area of the neighborhood where he lived. as for the victims, investigators say they identified a rally goers who was shot and killed and two others who were critically injured. but they are not revealing their identities yet. one man covered in blood told cnn crews at the scene, he tried to comfort one of the victims seconds after the shooting all we know is shots were fired and then i jumped over the barrier and put my hand on guys who was it, you know a spokesperson says the former president's quote, fine and trump himself posted on truth social that a bullet hit his right ear just a few hours ago, he flew back to new jersey rally goers describing the scene as pure insanity, nearly 15,000
