there is no place in america, this kind of violence for any violence ever period or exceptions. we can't allow this violence to be normalized. you know, the political record of this country has gotten very heated. it's time to cool down . we all have responsibility to do that. yes, we have deeply felt strong disagreements. states in this selection are normally high. i said it many times that the choice of this likes we make the selection is going to shape the future of america and the world for decades to come. i believe that all my saw. i know that millions of my fellow americans believe is as well. and some have a different view as to the direction of the country should disagree with this inevitable american democracy. it's part of human nature. politics must never be a little battle from a god from good. can we feel so as a republican party, delegates and gathering milwaukee for the convention,
1:03 pm
many of them are convinced that the field has asked a nation attempt has boosted donald trump's. the chances of winning the presidential election to w. as in his poll, spoke to some trump supporters who believed the former president has emerged a stronger than ever of the atmosphere. this time is different from former years. there is a palpable sense of insecurity and the attempt to the destination of donald trump and its consequences. are dominating the conversation. they've tried to put him in jail and that didn't work. so now somebody tries to take his life and i feel like that he's going to come back stronger than ever. this was not just an attack on the political person, a political party, it was an attack on an american, as you can see from the attempt, that he still thought about the people 1st. he's a wonderful man, he's a faith family and freedom president. and that's what we need right now in our country. thank god. trump turned his head to the right time and direction of the
1:04 pm
holy spirit. and the bullet missed and just raised the more i predict krupel when california new york and every state. i can't imagine each state wouldn't vote against him at this point. i think god is in control and i think he's going to watch over us. so i'm not really worried about it or otherwise i wouldn't be here today. this is the reno read delegates from all states gather to select their candidate, and also celebrate the many. it is a bit of a car, a nation spic tackle in this republic that takes pride and freeing itself from the crown. the debate over whether he will be able to secure enough votes is over and there is no doubt that donald trump will deliver his acceptance speech on thursday . on the stage right here behind me hold the tone of the speeds will significantly influence how his supporters react to the attempted assassination. with composure or anger, i was bringing boris foreman,
1:05 pm
a professor of politics at bar to college. berlin has recent books included the emergence of a liberalism and a democracy in a crisis. welcome. it's good to see you. we've heard a tone is going to be important in the speech from donald trump and in his 1st interview since being shot. he said that the speech at the r n c is now going to be about unity. are you surprised to hear that coming from the former president? i mean, generally speaking, it is quite surprising if we're looking at the last couple of months and we're looking at the, the recession, the kind of a speeches that we've heard about and it needs to meet as the enemy, etc. that does come as a surprise. on the other hand, it is true that trump kind of the window selection with his voter base alone. she needs to convince some moderate voters, moderate republicans to support him. and i think it and strategically speaking best makes a lot of sense to shift to this. so what this openings bridges for him is basically
1:06 pm
to be able to the stage of self as somebody who's trying to reconcile the nation. and that's, that can be a strict looking at the attempt on his life over the weekend political violence and the u. s. has been on the rise and recent years. i'm just wondering, in your view how you think we've reached this point in american politics. and there's a tendency to say things are on the rise, and it is true that of course, we have to divide since the american electorate between the parties. on the other hand, if we zoom out and think about the longer traditional political traditions into us, we do see that as soon as the nations have almost from the very difficult part of american politics. i mean, the 1st estimation of the tech goes all the way back to adverb jackson. display of presidents that have actually been assessing, made it many more, the tests that have been attacked. so there, there is a longstanding tradition in american politics. of course, this comes with
1:07 pm
a particular moment where democracy is really at risk. and so it brings extra potential for disruption. hey, let's take a look at this present moment. i'm wondering if you could put this in perspective for us. like, how would you say the kind of political violence that we're seeing in the u. s. compares to what we've seen increasing in europe and, and what is unique specifically about the situation in the us. so i mean the term to the receptionist and use many times maybe to. ready often, but it is through the a by part a system that is, or the most like that in the us. the consultation is even more polarized and i think it is in some german or some european cortex web, where we have other of course we do have vitamin populism. we have put, it was actually, but it translates a very different ways in these, these other political unexpected portal systems that part of systems. what do we also have to be us is very,
1:08 pm
very flexible gun legislation. it's very easy to, to obtain a gum, which it is not in europe. and i think that's, that has been a major difference in terms of the ways of political buy them some extra plays also like i can t arise. and i guess the cultural historian would maybe be the right person to ask for this. that's the rise of the specifics of american political culture. there's certainly this idea of the same self made man and individualization that might prompt this kind of an attack, but obviously this is a lot of speculation. now trump supporters have been claiming that the attempt on his life over the weekend hasn't boosted his chances of winning the presidency. what do you think has it i forgot to look at like chris of glass uh before the interview. uh so who knows, but um, pushed, pushed, or she does play into his courts. so i think one thing that it does is that it supports the narrative of political victim. i mean, it can boost this narrative,
1:09 pm
which i think is a very strong meredith continuous noticing political culture, but also pop culture of being this person who wins against all. and i think it does that uh for the, for the trump candidacy. what it also does and the way that this is being spoken about already is um it creates a certain mist of invisibility and maybe even of a divine providence that's uh the trump wasn't shots if it was very close that he might be the chosen candidate. and so i think for the event of the cobalt, for example, this could be a strong argument to both of those folders. well thank you so much for joining us today with your insights that as far as a format with bard college for lynch. thank you. and we can bring you up to speed with some other world news headlines at this hour . russia and china has started drawing to military drills and the pacific as the 2 countries continues to strengthen ties. beijing says the exercises do not target

1:16 pm
told us speak twine, got the right who, who is the one? 0, professionally the he might have got some biking and the selections. she wasn't allowed to spend the tools of. so if you eliminate oleo rifles and also if you reach out to close to both, this is pick all may have done repeatedly and target best estimation for harassments, intimidation to people who might just, you know, stayed home and be, you know, inspect themselves off this opposition leaders and chimes to when you're going to win the election. so, i mean, it's a meaningless. this has a meaningless selection. and then when, you know, we know the last election and so you got 98.9 percent of the vote, which is the new to school. what's the kind of school but use the in places like a, you know, somebody who's science in rocco, or north korea. so, you know, we know what he's going to get the same kind of told this time and it's equally meaningless. so if these elections are not free and fair, why do you think we have not heard more outcry, more opposition?
1:17 pm
both from within side lawanda and also from critics abroad. it was the reason you didn't hear things from inside. for one of them. you do have some, you know, vic trying go there. it was explaining to a journalist, a consent, but you know, the independent press does not exist in, in rewind, exhaustible. here you'll find the maximum of this folks when i'm talking about people being free to express themselves. they certainly aren't. the presence of stopped full of citizens, john, it's blow goes to dad to stand up and criticize the government and various aspects i'm. they're facing really heavy, like, you know, a prison sentence says for what they did. many of the john, unless a select, the country somewhat assassinated a girl down very well documented the case that so that's why, you know, you don't kimball criticisms at home abroad. it's a different match, i pick, ami has been absolutely brilliant, making himself useful to the international community. so my country into u. k. for example, he also drew when the office, the facebook would receive,
1:18 pm
assign him, see, cuz that, that field is now collapsed because beside the change of government in the u. k. and the new government isn't interested. but in france with fonts, for example, pick on me it's so it has all the peacekeepers who are now patrolling moves, i'm beat with faults, has a master liquefied gas installation which needed protecting from legit call it is for balance. they doing that very effectively by that means the products of support has been boats and with the us, that's another concern about rising jihad at some in western africa. and one of us again, rolanda keeps a offering itself up. as you know, we can send peacekeepers. we've got a very, a very efficient, very effective minute trick if we consent to speak with around africa, which is something what some governments don't want to do. so he makes himself very useful. and then as a result, they keep flat. indeed you, you've written about the murder of a defector abroad. you mentioned this briefly of patrick target in a johannesburg hotel room. i'm wondering, but this tells us about how the regime is seeking it to stifle defense overseas. it
1:19 pm
really does it very well. it has targets its members of the x down to a position, and you know, you have to ask yourself, why did so many of them leave the country in the 1st place. and it was because they had been told that they were going to be killed. apache kind of guy was one of many people who would talk the tips of fascination. they managed to, to tract him and strangle him in a hotel room. other people have been beat not that have been attempts to point to them. this is open, quite well documented. this isn't just sort of made up science as they taught the unit. if you look at what the human rights organizations report about rwanda, this is heather raised. same rankled o deswartz and rwandan agents being sensitive groups to silence potential challenges to pick on me so. so it's very sinister regime, but use this method. uh, very unusual and africa. well, thank you so much for joining us. i'm afraid that's all we have time for today. that is make a lot wrong, journalist and author,
1:20 pm
