i'm the massage as well. thank you for joining us. former president, donald trump has been wounded in what the prize, quoting an assassination attempt. trump was addressing a campaign ready in pennsylvania when the shots were fired. let's take a look at what happened there. you can hear those thoughts swinging out and discharges person medicine, melting of the former president and the spectators to get down and soon off to be confirmed. of course, to scale. they brought the body from back up to speed. just have to lead them a way to safety. when he did this. freezing, assessing vs shouting the wood fight, fight that it was a sort of chose from the supporters. as is visible in this footage from the valley
11:02 am
. now secret service officers have said they have killed the suspected shoulder and the f. b. i has identified him as a 20 year old man from pennsylvania, now defiant trump at the valley. as we could see and off to the valley in a statement on his social media platform to the social trump tang. so united states secret services. photographic response, trump has said i was sought with a bullet that pos, the upper part of my ideal. i knew immediately that something was wrong, i heard a whizzing sound shots and immediately felt the bullet tripping to the skin, much leading the place. so i realized then what was happening. i asked you got the correspondence correspondence and that don't allow in washington dc to tell us more about the shooter as well. let me show the f b i has released a name, but german media laws prevent us from saying that name on or air. so we're going to
11:03 am
have to leave that detail out, but they identified a 20 year old from bethel park, pennsylvania. so that is one hour away from butler, pennsylvania where of course, so this rally took place and this attempted assassination, a former president of donald trump. so he is a registered republican, although he has been known to donate to democratic campaigns that he wasn't carrying any id on him. so law enforcement officials identified him via biometric data and dna testing. now the f, b, i in it statement did not offer that much else by way of detail, but it did remind the public that this is an ongoing investigation that taught the pub, anybody in the public who might know something that is helpful to the investigation, should come forward now that that name has been released into the public. uh, the investigation of course is focusing intensely on what might have been his
11:04 am
motive. we don't know anything about that at the moment. we don't know if this was ideological. we don't know if this has anything to do with mental health. there are a host of, of other questions that they are trying to determine in relation to the suspect. they are not taking for granted that this was a lone wolf attack. for example. they're also not off, they're also trying to find out whether there are any more threats that are emanating from this particular attack. so the investigation, as they say, is ongoing support a lot less for the security services to on fargo. but i want to play this video outright now off the place where the value was being has. if i put off for the video to be pulled up, please that we have it that's with the side of the valley. you can see all those vege buildings for of yours and in front of that was where the stage was set, which is where the support as well. but is that on it's on 4th and now towards the
11:05 am
left. but right the building knew that what a stand, this is where apparently according to multiple reports out, then now the pseudo was positioned and that is read. it seems of the on the rooftop, the building, they're looking at right now. this is where he took his shots from janetta. these do look like close quarters for the former president to be short from i imagine that the security services were drilled about this at the briefing that they were at. what does this say or indeed, so present of that briefing or s b i officials who are taking the lead and they were indeed grilled on this. they were asked how it was possible that the shooter could have gotten so close. now they did say that they too, were surprised at that, but also deferred that question to the secret service. the secret service, of course, of being responsible for the personal protection. a former president donald trump, responsible for securing the venue security the perimeter and securing the radius
11:06 am
around the venue. we know that that shooter was outside the venue, but still quite close to with a direct line of line of sight to for bert president, a donald trump. so they are of course, going to phase questions as to why they were not able to secure that roof. well, we do know that the i with us, the set of costs because of the support as understands and some of them described what the sol, as the shooting was happening, let's take a listen. i was sitting there, a guy said, oh god, you had a gun. i looked up. there's a guy on top of the building right over there. and with an m. 16 with a blanket point and that the president he started shooting about about about, about, about $4.00 to $5.00 shots rang out there. it sounded like there are fireworks and everybody kind of hesitated like what's happening before trump like swatted his ear . you can see that he actually had that in, he dropped him out to and everybody had the initial reaction to draw it to the
11:07 am
ground. and it was just, it was just like people were just on top of each other like she was getting. she was getting very light on, on top of her and so it was crazy. more like what we heard. all it's rattling around the grandstand one hit this speaker tower. okay. awesome. we have the crown, the 1st well after her shots got fired, then the hydro in the line was spraying all around. joyce's coming out of it, simon. speaker, power star, default, or another shot. here. you knew someone wants. i mean it wasn't the fact right? because i mean, they weren't, they weren't super loud shots, the guys and secret service, they're just screaming. they were saying it was, wow, like everybody get down. and i heard 4 shots, and there was like a pause and one other shot. and people started lifting their head and they start screaming and they have to get back down, get back down. but i do think they go off the guy whenever the 2nd shot came out. i
11:08 am
heard this rocks are attracted to begin with somebody over there was a shot shot. so i made my way over. i said, i'm in mercy, department physician. let me help you. guy. his phone around was can read the benches or the head shot here. lots of blood she knows i'm terrifying descriptions there and we don't know that one of the people actually used in the support amongst the support of lost their life. and how is the trump camp reacting to the seeming to school? indeed the one supporter lost their lives to others are injured. and you can imagine that hours after this incident, there is still very much a feeling of shock there. but we've all seen those images of trump by now where he is being waste off to his motorcade and he faces as supporters. again, with his fist up in the air, the crowd, the crowd cheers in response. so this a,
11:09 am
this is also an incident where his supporters are also very fired off and after that happened, they also turned it to the median, started the 3rd year and started to say that the media was responsible for this. so there is a level of anger and blame seeking there. and in fact, from more official of a for more official republic invoices. i me, i mean, republican lawmakers here we are already starting to hear a lot of speculation. the top president biden might have orchestrated this on this attack on president on former president donald trump. this of course is completely baseless. but you can also imagine how statements like of that can serve to further inflame the positions that are emanating from the trunk camp at the moment. a little sample walk which of statements, but let's go to the other side of the aisle. you mentioned that kind of things that are being said above president by it and without substance,
11:10 am
but we do know that he spoke softly off of that on the so let's hear what he had to say. there's no place in america. there's kind of while it's 6, it's $612.00 there as well as united country cannot allow for this to be happening . we cannot be like this. we cannot condones. the bottom line is the re, trump rally rally that he should have an intellect can be conducted peacefully without any problem with the idea, the idea that this political violence or violence in america like this system, part of it is not appropriate for everybody. everybody must, cuz everybody should have both a form, an empathetic quotes from a president, facing unsubstantiated allegations from, from 4 to us, like you said, will be behind this attack. what's the stance he's taking? what is expected to do what he is clearly trying to do. there is once again underline that there is no room for political
11:11 am
violence in this country. that this is a democracy that donald trump should be allowed to have a rally and have that riley be peaceful. so what, what joe biden is trying to do in this instance is to restore a call to make sure that he doesn't say or do anything that was in the flame, the tensions that are already running high at the moment. and he's taking steps within his campaign, for example, he and his team have pulled his campaign as off the air. it is not seen at the moment to be appropriate to be attacking trump. and if you, if you understand anything about american attack as they can be really, really quite adversarial. and that's just not thought to be the correct to move at the moment from the bye didn't come. now i, i have been mentioning this about, so just a few days ago, i was at a bite in raleigh where he really was a very,
11:12 am
very provocative and very aggressive against trump. and because his point also there was to highlights the threats of another trump presidency, but this is not a message that he will be able to deliver at this time. and what again he is trying to do is to appeal for call, appeal, for civility, and appeal for respect for democracy. exactly, for the democrats strikes dawn down the temperature, which we do know that this campaign has been so divisive as you point out. what can we expect for the board forward to be of the there are some who say that there is a very positive opportunity to be seen in the wake of what is obviously a tragedy. this idea that this could be a wake up call. this idea that sought after this tragedy the country could come together and understand how important it is to be able to live with diverse
11:13 am
viewpoints peacefully. but there is also the other possibility that it could further stoke these divisions that it could further inflame these tensions. and what is going to be very important of going forward is how donald trump will handle the messaging. so of course, we know that the republican national convention is about to kick off. all eyes will be on the r n c. and how donald trump will present himself at the r n c. and how he will address this incidents? will he call? will he appeal to his followers to, to united, behind them, to, to set aside divisions will or will he use this incident and weaponized it? will his message be let's come together or will this message be my enemies are coming after me. you should go after that. so i think this uh, this will, this is the thing to watch what his message will be and that will determine much of
11:14 am
the outcome in terms of the way forward. do you got boucher know? do mellow and the thank you so much for tracking that developing story for us and reactions to the shooting that coming in from around the world would lead to is expressing condemnation and often sympathy un secretary general. and tanya gutierrez, has condemned what he called an act of political violence and wished donald trump a speedy recovery. british prime minister to a style mode responded to what he called stalking scenes. sing political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts over the victims of this attack. your prince president reloaded me. zalinski issued a statement, speaking office release that trump is now safe and saying he hopes america images stronger from this. that's listed in the summer and that was a job, an attempt to on the life of donald strongly was like to share with the crime that can only be condemned and which demonstrates how serious but challenges to democracy are globally finding. those are and violence in any form in any way or
11:15 am
must absolutely not prevailing the absolute and nipple in those out to or yeah, i'm confident that america will rise to the challenge by which mr. trump, a speeding recovery strength and supports to those affected him to seem to post our stop cycle. maybe every evil intention to fail. he and they've done a step more on the, in your perspective on this attempted assassination is a bad at the attempted assassination toner, the smell of correspondence, matthew moore in berlin, the following, pettus and jack patrick in process. let me talk with you, matthew. tell us about the political reactions here in germany. yeah, we've been getting quite a lot of reaction this morning. the show and mostly it must be said on twitter or x . the chancellor, electrolytes, i'm, we did, and he called the attack despicable. we said such that so violent threats in democracy, the foreign minister, unavailable because all.
