12:00 am
>> well, that's what trump is trying to argue here is that he can kind of do both. i'm not again, shore. he's going to be able to do it. but what vance was expressing was this like deep anger? yeah. point that republicans have, however, anyone who spent time on social media and try to comment at all or say anything about the shooting that happened on saturday, learned that also on the left, there is a strong belief that this thing was a hoax, which is insane. i don't understand how any candidate can bridge those two divides, but what biden has now two, i wouldn't say his credit is no one's calling in his own party anymore for him to really step down that has quelled. and now the debate is between these two men, whether they can unify the country or not. i don't know if anyone that's where do you kristen, is there room for trump to grow and has always the question with him or is he just going to solidify his base? >> i think that there is room for him to grow in so far >> our as they're in the last 24 hours, he has behaved in a way that is probably different
12:01 am
than his detractors would have expected. we'll see what the next couple of days hold. >> my panel here in milwaukee. thank you all very much. >> and thank you for watching newsnight. laura coates live starts right now. >> it's sunday in milwaukee on the eve of the republican national convention, former president donald trump is here in the city tonight and it's been 24 hours since this country witnessed a former american president placed in grave danger, 24 hours since a bullet was close enough to grace his ear while he campaigned for reelection, the world, let alone the nation was holding its collective breath, wondering if this would be the day that many of our parents and our grandparents and even ourselves, once asked where were you when but he is here
12:02 am
and ready to touch his party's nomination. this very week. just as in the seconds after he emerged from under the weight of secret service, shielding not only him but our nation from a terrible and tragic repeated history. he pumped his fist, were exiting is playing just a few hours ago his team, they say he is doing well and we're told the ct scan he underwent it came back clear, but the attempt on his life has cast a long and dark shadow over the convention the campaign, and frankly the entire nation president biden, appealed to the nation tonight, imploring america to remember that while we may disagree we cannot treat each other as enemies. >> there's no place in america for this kind of violence. for any violence ever, period, au exceptions we can allow this violence to be normalized you know, the political record this country has gotten very heated time to cool it down we all
12:03 am
have responsibility to do that. we stand for in america, not have extremism and fury, but a decency and grace all of us now face a time of testing as the election approaches the higher the stakes, the more forbid the passions become this places an added burden on each of us to ensure that no matter how strong our convictions, must never descend into violence. >> now, donald trump's acceptance speech, we're told will now focus on unity, not biden. he told reporters today that he's rewriting the entire thing, quote, honestly, it's going to be a whole different speech. now but first, there is an urgent investigation underway to try and figure out how the 20-year-old gunman was able to nearly assassinate donald trump cnn obtained this video showing the shooter in position ready to fire. but what happens in the moments right before he pulled the trigger is the question, everyone's asking tonight? we're getting a little bit
12:04 am
closer to that answer. listen to cnn's brian todd laura, we have new information on the shooter's movements during and just before the shooting occurred. we do know that the shooter was roughly 150 meters away. that's less than 500 feet away from the former president when the shooting started, we also were told by a former by the sheriff of butler county, michael slupe, that law enforcement officers did see the shooter on top of the building. they went to investigate one law enforcement officer hoisted himself up according to the sheriff, to this ledge of the rooftop and was cleaned to the rooftop when he saw the shooter, according to the sheriff, the shooter saw him and pointed his weapon at the law enforcement officer but at that point, the officer was not he was holding onto the ledge and could not engage the shooter with his weapon. so the office or had to drop down for his own safety at that point, the shooting started brian. thank you so much. it's pretty unbelievable to think that this is happened and the fbi, they believe the gunman acted alone as of now, the fbi says, no
12:05 am
motive has emerged. note ideology. all we know is that he was a registered republican, but once donated to a progressive group explosive materials were found in the gunman's car and at his home the ar 15 he used was purchased legally by his father. how the gunman got it is still being looked into i want to bring in former assistant director of the secret service, gordon huddle and former deputy of the fbi's counterintelligence division, peter strzok. gentlemen. thank you both for being here this evening. the world has so many questions and i want to begin with you here, gordon. i wonder from your perspective, what is the most pressing question the secret service needs to answer at this very hour well, laura, good to be with you tonight. >> thank you. you know, in the wake of the recent attempted assassination oprah of candidate president trump au secret service is facing some very pressing questions
12:06 am
director cheatle and her team face a critical week if it were just the attempted assassination of former president trump the pressure on the secret service would be more than enough. however, tomorrow the republican convention kicks off, followed a few weeks later by the democratic convention. these are designated national security events the secret service has the lead agency for the design and inflammation implementation of the operational security plans for both conventions, they've got a lot on their plate but i can tell you that operating under these kinds of pressures is where the secret service traditionally excels. i've done conventions myself and i can tell you they are not a piece of cake but they're going to be a lot of pressure not to have any more mischiefs i'm not saying that for but yes well, gordon, i'm i'm glad you
12:07 am
spoke about this in the language you have because i think it's important for people to understand and peter, let me bring you into this conversation because the idea of being a designated national security event comes with its own set of requirements and heightened alert because they know that there is a risk and the presence of somebody like a former president just adds that exponentially. but the fact that the gunman was so close, peter, i mean, we're talking roughly 150 yards away a little more than a football field. i mean, that is shocking why was there no law enforcement on that roof given the proximity where our audience is seeing a diagram of that close proximity as we're sitting here now laura laura, the idea of questions i'm sure you talking to me, laura know peter, i'm going to come back to, you know, what i want to get your insight. and additionally to but peter want you to take that one yeah, absolutely. know. i think that's one of the key questions. i mean, 150 meters is a very, very close shot for anybody with a shonda weapon
12:08 am
secret service colleague here can speak too it much in more deaths than i can, but they rely on protection in depth. so you will have a layer of secret service agents around the protectee. you rely on state and local officials that's and other federal officials potentially in rings going further out. but i think that is absolutely one of the questions that is going to be asked. it is something that the secret services excellent. they're doing and clearly did not occur this time. so i think that is a real bonafide question and one that i think people are going to make sure things are put in place to ensure that doesn't happen. again. >> we certainly hope not. gordon peter, we're going to come back to you, but thank you so much where your insight is going to be invaluable as we get through all of the next several hours. and thank you. in just 24 hours. just 24 hours for now donald trump could announce his pick for vice president. and now that choice is carrying an additional level we'll have significance after the attempt on a former president's life. now, the three vp candidates we know are on trump's shortlist. all
12:09 am
reacting to the attempted assassination. he had senator marco rubio saying, god protected president trump governor doug burgum saying, we all know president trump is stronger than his enemies. today. he showed it. and senator jd vance well, he's blaming the current president. i want to bring in harry enten, cnn's senior data reporter, and shermichael singleton, cnn commentator, republican strategist, and ash the allison's also hear a cnn political commentator. i don't know about you guys, but i have been my stomach has been turning ever since this all happened, and i know that people have very serious and visceral reactions. the idea that this is happening in the united states of america, we are under an umbrella of political division, but this is so stunning oh, shocking. shermichael, for so many reasons and you saw that there were some measured responses from burgum, from marco rubio, jd vance had had a different take on all of this and i'm wondering from your
12:10 am
perspective, what you say he is blaming biden and i wonder what impact that could have. >> a real look. i think people laura should follow trump's footsteps on this i think trump in a very odd sort of existential way at 78-years-old saw his life flash before his eyes. i mean, we've seen all of the analysis if it was just a few millimeters, this could have ended very differently from the perspective of a lot of republican voters. and i've had had the chance to just talk and mingle with few a few folks who are here for the convention and i heard one recurring theme from people he doesn't have to do this. he's wealthy he could go and do anything else he wants to do. and yet he's choosing to live this very uncomfortable. life where he's disliked by a whole lot of people and he literally just put his life on the line as one lady told me earlier today for us. and so i think if you look at someone like jd vance, i understand why people may sell those aren't the best statements during this time.
12:11 am
but from the republican voters that i've, that i have spoken with, they're looking at trump, just want to lead and guide not only them, but hopefully bring them the country together this week during the convention, ashley, how do you see it? because this is something redick convention, right? we know that this is political season for so many people. i mean, strategists and voters and delegates. we all know how this is rounding out in the normal sense. policy positions policy disagreements, all those things when you are seeing the climate that we are presently in, what is going through your mind in particular well, i think it's been going through my mind for some time even before saturday, is that we need to take a beat and really have conversations about shermichael and i talking about this all the time. >> let's talk about policy. i'll go toe to toe with you and talk about immigration on this side versus that side? i don't actually need to use violence to get my point across. i have words and i have brains and i have emotions and
12:12 am
so i can use all of that to make an argument that's not what's happening. obviously, it didn't happen on saturday but i do think that jd vance is comments the senator from my home state are not great they are inappropriate and they should not have been said not in the first 24 hours of the attempted assassination, and not ever quite honestly, if we really want to use this moment to turn the page we need to turn it, we need to, people need to acknowledge their role that they have played in it. but what we don't need is people saying i'm going to pick on you and i'm going to pick on you. that's somewhat how we got here and so we do need to rise to the occasion. and the reason why we're even talking about jd vance in this way is because he is on the shortlist to be vice president and the question is, if he is elected, is that the type of person that you actually want to be second in command if donald trump were to win in november, let me bring you in here, how the country we taught me the word divided is used as common as
12:13 am
maybe the word these days. and we are as divided and a lot of sense and frankly, that's part of the beauty of democracy they have conversations that are productive with a common goal of advancing our society. but divided as we are today, has a very different connotation and we've seen just yesterday what's happened. but what is the latest polling tell us in terms of the divisions? and the state of political extremism in this country. >> you know, i think there's a difference between division and hatred. yes. and we're we're where we're ending up now is ending close to the hatred. one way you can see this is just by looking, asking party members, do you have an extremely or very unfavorable view of the other party, you go back 20 years ago, we're talking less than a third of the electorate felt that way about the other party. yeah. you look at where we are today. we are talking nearly 70% of americans who say that they have a very unfavorable view of the other party that fact as hatred is now taken over as the main
12:14 am
political feeling, negative partisanship has taken over but as the main political feeling that is what's driving, it's not love of their own party necessarily, its hatred of the other party. and i just would wish taking off my analyst hat for a second, putting on my american hat for a second. i wish that we could just lower the temperature, just lower it. this week is supposed to be a celebration of democracy. that is what conventions are and instead, what we're talking about is fortunately, not an actual assassination, but a failed assassination were present, frankly, this whole thing has been disgusting. and i am very hopeful that we can come together and not be divided as much anymore if even for just a month or two, just to lower the temperature. >> can i say one? i think i agree. i'm my feel you lowering the temperature and i've been trying to think about and i've been really reflecting on this coming into the republican national
12:15 am
convention as a democrat. and i think about my dear friend alice stewart, who we tragically lost a couple of weeks ago i remember there being a moment where there i could have been on the verge of going from division two hatred with alice because we had a disagreement but there's those moments of intervention where you have to be the adult? yes. alice wasn't adult and i was an adult and we did not change our point of views on policy, but we actually had a conversation and we don't we aren't modeling that as an adult. i was glad that the president called the former president to say, i hope you're okay, click. okay, i'm glad the first lady called melania to say, i hope you're okay. it's funny. i don't even know if they ever talked before because they didn't happen at that inauguration. but at moments like this, we have to the adult, and that means we have to model behaviors. so again, we can disagree on politics, but i have to see your humanity and then you have
12:16 am
to see my, you know, when you raise a good point, we've introduced the conference in paris and melania trump, the former first lady, and she issued a statement, i think it's worth revisiting for the reason that we are taking deleting right now at this moment in time. and she responded by saying a monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine, attempted to ring out donalds passion his laughter, and geneity, love of music, and inspiration the core facets of my husband's life. his human side. were buried below the political machine. she went on to talk about as well of how her life could have changed and reminds us all of her young son, barron's is growing over why the republican side. but you hear, you hear this and this notion of the political machine the political machine sometimes is personified with the person, but oftentimes we all collectively think this is how the sausage is made, right? bite your tongue every time. the political machine is
12:17 am
supposed to foster the environment for that exchange of ideas to have disparate perspectives. that's supposed to be okay, to be able to challenge each other that old aphorism, iron sharper. iron sharpens iron. if that's a great thing. but i think the problem here, laura, is that this disintegration, this disconnectedness that we have witnessed for about a decade or two now, it has caused individual on the liberal side, on the conservative side, to see each other as being an existential threat to their existence. when you reach that point, then you get to the level where you do see violence. you do see the pillars. that's what a form and hold our foundation slowly begin to crumble. and in my concern here, if we don't tone down this rhetoric as those threads rip apart like a fabric when it ripped so much, you can't repair it and so i hope the american people understand we're on the brink of going off a cliff and the parachute is not going to open if we don't stop you know, i think we all have already come back to this point and it's so important and we're going to continue to talk about this
12:18 am
because here we are about 100 days away from a presidential election and i know there are voters out there who want to cast their ballot in favor of who they think will best supportive of democracy and the conversation that will happen this week. and in the weeks to come, will entail just that ahead. trump is saying in his first interview after the rally, shooter shooting that he has rewritten his rnc speech and i am so eager to hear what it will entail. we're going to talk about with the former 2024 gop presidential candidate, the former governor isa hutchinson, plus two eyewitnesses who the shooting join me to describe the chaos that they saw and what ensued no, one should have to choose between good vision and great value. that's why america is best to slashing their prices during the y's by sales abadi get to progressives and a comprehensive eye exam for just 12995. book an exam online today looking for a way to stretch the dollar with

but before i started, angie's list different story. a lot has changed for us today. angie, since then, but the issues facing homeowners are the same and the solution to skill local prose, get started at angie.com poker season for who pay tournament this on. >> and you can enjoy the thrill on your phone download the wsj op free to play up and enjoy special bonuses for a limited time well hours before the republican national convention, former president donald trump telling the washington examiner that he is rewriting the speech he planned to give this time with the focus on unity saying, quote, this is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together. >> well, joining me here in milwaukee, former republican presidential candidate and governor of arkansas, asa hutchinson. thank you so much for being here. what a time we are in governor. i you have been critical of former
12:23 am
president trump in the past i am very curious to know what your opinion is of how both trump and biden had been handling this near-tragedy in america? >> well, i think they've been handling it very well and see it as a moment to reduce harsh rhetoric. rhetoric, and to bring the country together president biden first made a very gracious statement appropriate, supportive the fact that they suspended the cam some campaign activities is consistent with that and then i'm just thrilled with donald trump and the introspection that i think this serious event, his life has caused he could have lost his lie and while he showed determination and vigor at that moment and at the same time, i think it caused him to reflect and i hope so. and this is a moment that with president biden's
12:24 am
calmness and they are with president trump rewriting his speech it's an opportunity to really showcase positive things about our country and to diminish the are shredding, you think about it democrats are saying donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy republicans are saying reelecting joe biden will be the end of western civilization and so people interpret these words in different ways and so i think we have to contend in this world of politics very vigorously and difference of ideas. but a harshness brings out the worst in people. and i think this is an opportunity to bring out the best of america you know, what, always struck been just learning more about the person who is the shooter in the suspect that that would this would have been the first time they would've been able to vote in this country for a presidential election. that struck a chord with me,
12:25 am
governor for so many reasons. because we know that a lot of division and rhetoric that we speak about for you and i who have been apart and seeing it as adults, as voters. but there are people who are growing up to have been existing in that very world matches struck a big chord with me and you heard president biden talking about lowering the temperature, resolving our differences at the ballot box. now there may be introspection for trump and maybe statement from biden. but what about the electorate? will the vitriol subdue and subside? well, i think that's a test to this convention i hope that there's a whole lot of people rewriting speeches at this moment. >> and so it's president trump, former president trump sets the tone of this convention. and i think you'll see people following that tone. but the big question is whether how long it lasts, right? whether this is just a moment in time to take to say we need to come together and whether it changes down the road because
12:26 am
governors excuse me, that would be almost a complete one ad from a lot of messaging we have seen up till now, that would be to have that to be a sustained change. would be remarkable yes. >> we'd be going from calling the enemy scumbags to say, and we need to get along and it's an important change and words mean something. and so i applaud president trump for his initiative and saying we're going to use this convention for something good to bring america together. and then you're going to have the democratic convention and you know, it's a time for defining differences. but once again i've been a federal prosecutor and people respond to harsh rhetoric in different ways. it could just blow off our back when we say, well, that's just that's what a heated campaigns about but to others, it's marching orders. and so we want to know more about the fbi secret service investigation of the perpetrator of this
12:27 am
assassination attempt but we know that people respond in different ways. you reduce the harshness of the rhetoric. and it brings a more calming spirit to america. >> it puts a greater emphasis as well, who the running mate would be for the former president. because if it's about lowering the temperature richard, it's about trying to reinforce statement and ideology about unifying and beyond. it's that much more important. do you have any insight on who that type of candidate could be to run alongside a more introspective donald trump well of course we've got to see how this develops over the coming weeks. but i thought about whether this changes the dynamics of who he needs is a vp. it probably doesn't. i think the criteria is still there for someone who is loyal, who can be president at a moment's notice that reflects his philosophy but you've got some of the candidates that for vp that are more harsh in their
12:28 am
rhetoric than others and we'll see if that makes a difference, but i'm confident that whoever he selects as vp we'll follow donald trump's lead if he becomes harsh and september that's exactly what the party will become. and so it's really up to his leadership to define the differences. the reason this election is important and what he offers but to do it with a tone that does not further divide our country and governor, we'll of course, looking into more of the investigation and what went wrong and how to prevent anything like this from happening. >> thank you for joining us. thank you. are well, there are the images that are now seared into our collective minds and the minds of millions of americans and dare i say the entire world, the incident a bullet graze donald trump's ear, and the moments immediately after one of the photographers who captured this chaos joins me next i grew up with, i don't want to wait for

12:32 am
heard and saw when donald trump was nearly assassinated will stay with them likely for the rest of their entire lives. and the images they will most certainly go down in the history books new york times photographer doug mills capturing these shocking images when trump realized something whizzed past his ear, then trump removing his right hand. only to see blood on his fingers. in this close-up photo taken by getty images, you can see blood slowly losing down the face after secret service agents took trump to the ground for his own protection and the seminal image from yesterday, trump emerging from the chaos, raising his fist in the air and american flag waving in the background, the ultimate symbol of defiance in the face of the violence that had occurred against him. joining me. now, the man who took that photo associated press photographer evan vucci and mark mcevoy, a trump supporter, who attended the rally yesterday. let me
12:33 am
begin with you here, evan, and thank you both for being hearing, helping to be our own eyes on the ground as of yesterday how did you evan get that photograph? and what was going through your mind during that extraordinary moment well, i mean, what was going through my mind was i wanted to do the job that i needed that minute moment. so i just sort of went into work mode it, started doing, my job photograph thing, trying to get the whole scene thinking about what might have been making sure that my composition was good that's all really i was thinking about. i didn't realize you, know the impact that the photo would have until much later i mean first of all, you're a constant professional, you thinking about all those things i meant to document this moment in history that will live on.
12:34 am
>> i mean, there has been, as you mentioned quite a visual reaction to your photo, the atlantic called it legendary, the new yorker said, quote, it carries echoes of the marines at iwo jima in the form president's bloody defiance even evokes rocky male boa. now, when you were looking at this 24 hours later, i wonder what it is you see, given that distance of time, knowing what you captured i wasn't seeing any of the things i was what i was saying was my job as a photo journalist is to bring you the viewer into my eyes and give you an idea of what's in front of my lens and that's all i could think about was just doing the work for the viewers and our members and just trying to do the job the best i could. >> i never thought about any of those things. >> you know, marc, we're talking to evan captured the moments on lens. >> you were there, your eyes, your ears your senses. you were
12:35 am
there and they were the press pen, i guess when the shooting happened, can you just walk us through that moment? what that was like? >> it was actually there was a lot of feelings going on simultaneously. i heard the pop, pop, pop those three shots that rang out and they i could tell they were a smaller caliber and i knew it was a 22 sounded like a 22 and then louder caliber shots followed, which i assumed was who was our snipers firing back lauer shots, pop, pop, pop, pop, like sounds like five more shots. return fryer me and panic ensued. pete, what? ducking. what for some reason i didn't feel fear like i just knew they weren't aimed at me and i maintain my composure. right. i short trump go down you know
12:36 am
the first few shots and i was scared. but then when i saw him come back up with the secret service and he raised his hands hi, raised his fist and all of a sudden the crowd, just went crazy like usa, usa. usa it was just just a static like everybody was just i just and uterus and just felt incredible. i think. but there was still some people just could not be consoled at the same time, you know, they would just got to the point where they would just sobbing and being and could not be brought out of that. so i would say the emotions ran from zero to ten in just i think that was a moment that just was almost
12:37 am
indescribable to me that was the sense that i got from that moment. and really it was just all in a matter of ten or 12 seconds tops the way you have both describing these different vantage points and just a reaction from what that emotional spectrum must have been like for people who are present, let alone the nation watching it, and feeling a lot of the domino effect evan, mark, thank you both so much for being here. well, thank you for having me well, president biden, warning against political violence after the assassination attempt against trump. >> but anger has slowly been boiling over in america for quite some time. former capitol police officer harry dunn, who experience political violence on january 6 joins me next will be hard to find a skilled pro to fix this leak. >> but before i started, angie's list, different story

to four to four to four her house solomon in new york is cnn the attempted assassination of donald trump's spurring new concerns about political violence speaking tonight? biden says there's no place for violence in politics. but a handful of republicans blamed
12:41 am
the shooting on trump's critics. ohio senator and trump vice presidential hopeful jd vance went a step further than that, saying that biden's rhetoric calling trump a threat to democracy led to the attempted assassination georgia congressman mike collins, jessin biden ordered the shooting and calling for local prosecutors to indict biden for quote, inciting an assassination. now there is zero evidence that president biden was involved, but it is an example of the heated discourse. once again, infecting our body politic even after an assassination attempt, well, joining me now is someone who is all too familiar with political violence from capitol officer capitol hill officer harry dunn, who protected the capitol on january 6. he's also been a biden campaign in a surrogate harry, my friend, good to see you this evening, but my goodness is having to resuscitate what we're out to recite, excuse me, what was just said in different camps
12:42 am
about the conspiracy theories and beyond. i mean, you're somebody who is no stranger to this. you have survived the assault on the capitol on january 6. and so a lot of this must be quite triggering. to hear politicized reactions to having that maybe would have had a universalizing effect. what is your reaction when you heard the news of a shooting attempted assassination? of the former president sure would. >> thank you. as always, good to be with you, but first and foremost, you there's like the president that is so many people have said, there's no room anywhere in the united states for political violence. it should be condemned by any and everybody, no matter who it is against, whether that be great. that's a whitmer president trump paul pelosi steve scalise. anybody it needs to be condemned. i'm glad i'm glad that the former president is safe and that's where everybody focused should be right now, there is an individual right now who was
12:43 am
not with his family right now. forgive me getting his name or blanking on his name right now, corey. but he died. he was killed at the hands of a lunatic and that's what we need to be focusing on. and that's never never, ever be acceptable. >> i mean, just in hearing you say and remind the world about the various instances of people who have been victims of attacks, attacks on politicians, attacks on their families. you remind us about the us believes surviving a shooting. the husband of nancy pelosi surviving a hammer attack. i mean, you are a former capitol police officer. you have been in the rooms where it happens in terms of the policy disputes and beyond but it's one thing to have division and statements that show that there is a distinction between how one person feels the other. this level of political violence we're in right now. what does
12:44 am
it do to you to hear about it it sucks to be frank because like i said, what we went through on january 6 with a nation witnessed was the result of it was political violence. >> it's exactly what was they were there with. they were chanting hang mike pence, and that they were going to kill nancy pelosi. they were there violent with violent intent on at the behest of the president, the former president so anybody right now, like it's so frustrating to hear the rhetoric that's going, on. anybody from any party attempting to score political points in a moment like this. but we need to, read, yes, we do need to take the temperature down as so many people have said that temperature needs to come way down because sure people have talked about just the the grace of god that the former president is still with us you know, what if it's not so lucky next time or 90, just the former president, like i
12:45 am
said, we lost a dedicated public servant to this country. so people's lives are being changed i have always fought for accountability since january 6 and with the supreme court issuing their ruling, it's clear that we have to do it at the ballot box. they not on on a battlefield like president biden said earlier tonight i mean the idea of being able to articulate your grievances by voting that is what democracy really is. and i wonder about the bringing down the temperature in the room. i hear this being said i honestly wonder, how does president biden move forward to campaign against trump had his trump before with the campaign against biden, knowing that the rhetoric has been heated, it has been a heightened temperature, so not expecting what has happened this past weekend, but how do you course correct. air your grievances about both believing the other is legitimate threat to
12:46 am
democracy, and then not inviting voters are people who are taking it somehow as a message subliminally to be something different with that word well you have to be hundred percent honest first and foremost, if we want to take the temperature down show which we need to do, we all as american people need signals for two down. >> the first thing you need to do is be honest about the things that happened. but somebody attempted to assassinate the former president that happened. also, the president summit bob, to attack the capitol on january 6 on his behalf until you have people acknowledging on both sides that those two things happen, then you can't really be you how realistic and honest are you being with yourself that you want to take the political the temperature down, so to speak, because you're not even being honest about what happened that day. until this day even now there's referring to january 6 as a peaceful protests that may be got out of hand. that's not what happened
12:47 am
that day. and until we're being honest about what happened, i am all for bringing it to temperature down, but until we're being honest about what really happened and like i said yesterday, was it a failed assassination attempt by a lunatic that has no place? there's no place in this world for that type of behavior harry dunn thank you so much for joining us this evening. >> it's always important to hear your perspective, particularly back with us now, harry enten. thank you. shermichael singleton, and also ashley allison lee. begin with you, ashley, i want to hear a little bit more from what biden had to say in the oval office tonight listen, one of the things he said was an pool talked about this i'll be traveling this week, making the case for our record and vision. my vision for the country, our vision. i'll continue to speak out strongly for our democracy. stand up for our constitution the rule of law a call for action at the ballot box no violence on our streets.
12:48 am
that's how democracy should work it's how it should work, ashley. >> but is there a way to engage in the type of heated campaign that they have both been in and avoid this so i really appreciate what with what officer dunn said about having to be honest. you i feel like there are people in this country. a lot of people who are hurting and who have different experiences through a historical lens. and in this very moment there are people who are still struggling from what happened on january 6. and then there are people who are denying what happened on january 6. there are people who are heartbroken that donald trump was. there was an attempted assassination and there are people who have conversations that are not very helpful, right now. i think i want to know why these folks are behaving in that way and why we aren't able to have a conversation about facts and about honesty because i think joe biden's point is like we
12:49 am
don't want to go down that road but we're not even going down the same road right now. people around one side of the street and someone is on a whole different road going down another side of the street. and this is not like we're even going to find a way to read to have an intersection, to have a crossroads, because we're going in such opposite directions. and so the only way that i think there's intervention can happen even with the truth-telling of like, i don't like your policy, i don't like your policy. is that someone who has to say stop and say, hey, i think we're going in the wrong direction. let me tell you why unless have this conversation and we get back to but right now, it's we're talking past each other and people don't understand how other people are feeling in this moment for my gun, i wonder sure. if that is, if this is that moment potentially, right. i mean, at the end of the day this country will be no more, no less than what we make it, no more, no less than our willingness to speak up and speak out to your point for what is just what is right. but also the speak against was just plain wrong
12:50 am
and if we don't have enough people, laura, who are willing to have that courage of magnanimity, if you will, then it does begs the question, if we are traveling onto roads so desperate and far apart from one another, will we ever meet at that intersection? and if we don't ever meet at that intersection, then again, you can only see this per valence of political violence only getting worse. and that's not what i don't think anyone any one of us would like to see. >> i would just maybe had a little positivity. i do think we shall overcome. we will overcome because we have been through tumultuous times for i mean, you think back to the 1960s, there were four major assassinations. jfk, medgar, evers, martin luther king junior robert f. kennedy jr. rfk and mln. mlk happened within two months once of each other in 1,968, the fact is, i do believe looking at the numbers, yes, there's about a fifth of the country who believes that political violence may be acceptable. but the vast majority of americans
