12:02 am
the charges of mishandling top secret documents and its being west, sped that surviving on the assassination attempt and pleading who really play on tv screens and newspaper front pages, all surrounded by sooty, dense tongue blast. a secret service agents is worth a 1000 pictures of present by looking old. i'm calling for com. i'm feel go invalid . and this is the day i the, you know, the political work in this country has gotten very easy time to quote that you know, what happened yesterday was a tragedy for this country. disagree with this inevitable american democracy. it is an indication of just how fractured our country as right now. so let's get a, i mean, already or democracy deals like it's on
12:03 am
a plus of those. or it may disagree. we are not entities, you're still, you know, it was strong. and some people, you know, say, go, america like less white politics must never be a little box that we got from good to. if you also, i'm today the kings of your representing home to spain, to a massive celebration in mid right. look and see what i did and then what was achieved yesterday in historical terms is extraordinary and remarkable. and it deserves a rental approvals from everyone. welcome to the day we begin in new york city of milwaukee, where the republican national conventions under way just 48 hours after the policy . so white house that candidate for the president donald trump survived assassination attempt about choosing which has provided the secret service with
12:04 am
lots of questions to answer. as up ended, the account paid. the republican gathering is going ahead as planned. after monday's proceedings got underway, delegates officially nominated donald trump as the pottery sec, candidates to take on the democratic incumbent job by the position of president of the coming days. they'll also approve the policies policy platforms for the november connection. donald trump's acceptance speech was already going to be closely watched, but in the wake of the narrow, the escaping on assassin's voice. he says he's throwing out the draft speed and weather instead. deliver a different message, quoting for national unity. meanwhile, the investigation into how issued to death would have got so close, continues in a country that gun violence has become a fixture of life. these particular gunshots still echoed more loudly than usual. the moment the bullets stopped,
12:05 am
the conspiracy theories began flying. the, you know, to feel it from us and they can do whatever they can to get rid of trump. and so they have to do, they tries. and so we're here to learn whether or not they're not going to happen. in the case of political unity sucks. 5 or presidents, joe biden cooled on americans to dial down the rhetoric. 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 2 days after the share too many questions remain. how could an armed attack a gets within shooting range of the former president? did the secret service ignore early warning, some of the audience? and what was the motive? clear of a picture of the shooters emerging,
12:06 am
but some information is conflicting. he was a member of a local gun club and a registered member of the republican party that he also donated to democratic cause. as in the past, the police beneath the weapon he used to shoot to trump belongs to his father and was purchased. the officials also found what they described as a suspicious device in the shoot. this vehicle has been decided by bomb technicians with bad supporters. of the former president have been housing gatherings around the country outside trump tower, new york crowds phones to show that support was strong. trump is now in milwaukee attending the republican national convention. outside the venue, his supporters held a vigil. trump himself said he wants to use this historic moment to bring the
12:07 am
country together, ramifications of the assassination attempt and not yet fully known budget as most definitely raised, the stakes for this year's election dramatically dumped. a cynthia miller address is a professor of the american university and director of that polarized nation and extremism research and innovation lab. she joins us from washington, d. c. a. welcome to the w. a president binds us that it's time to cool down the political rhetoric in the united states. donald trump said he's rewritten his speech for the r n. c to focus on unity. do you make a connection between painted political rhetoric and the address action? as i do actually think that the political rhetoric in this country is connected to violent outcomes. however, what i would say is, i think the problem is just as just as big i'm of ordinary people as it is among political leads even after the shooting among people i know very well on social
12:08 am
media, i would hear, you know, see things like you report you so, or you know, basically indicating this is observed attack and i think that's really dangerous and risky when you have to ordinary people, ordinary citizens on the ground, just supporting and calling for political violence. and we're in a dangerous situation invested to sticks on this and are very bad in terms of large numbers of americans 20 percent in recent. so i saw being willing to support sort of islands or thinking that that's a necessary tactics to achieve their outcomes. ok, so is it getting worse? because a quick google reveals an uncomfortable number of attempted shootings and stoppings of us politicians and the time is over the last few years. yes, i think it's getting worse here. and of course also overseas. i mean, we have seen attempted assassinations or political assassinations in germany,
12:09 am
in the u. k. in recent years, and we've had these kid, nothing thoughts and the us against it. and governors, as well as the juniors 6 types of event and then and then tons of stress is the talk on nancy percy's home and other. so this definitely is getting worse. it's definitely an escalating type of situation. but we've also seen this before. and in the political assassinations of the 19 sixty's, the attempt on a ronald reagan's life and 1981. we're reverting sort of to an era in which political assassinations and threats against elected officials, are seen as a legitimate tactics by violent actors. so even though in this case it should be clear, we still don't know the motive. and so remember that ronald reagan attack was, you know, someone who wanted to impress a movie star. you know, we don't actually know for sure what the motive was in this case. however, the outcome is still quite risky in terms of escalations affordable balance. okay, so looking back over,
12:10 am
that's about recent history. i'm. are you saying that it was bad? it leveled off and now it's was all has it always being sort of the bottom bubbling uh, bubbling away in the background. it was always bad. i think we had a very volatile period in the 19 sixty's, obviously where political assassinations were a tactic where we saw assassinations, martin luther king, it presidential assassination and never saw that all the way up into the early 19 eighties. and then we really didn't. i mean, in my own lifetime, uh, that certainly was not something that was a possibility. i will say that over the last couple of years that is exactly the kind of thing i was expecting to see. i think others like me in the field. we're expecting to see this because that's the level of threat we were seeing those threats, escalating not just against sitting elected officials, but candidates, librarians, school board members elected officials at the local level,
12:11 am
really receiving death threats. and when you see that type of thing, plus you see the successful attempts a political assassination abroad are plots that are broken up as you've had in germany as well. the well. so the like, okay, i get a sense, it gives me. so for each option i'd have to squeeze vision based last question in so does, does the vase assassination attempt to get donald trump does that mock a turning point? you expect things to get back to that? or is this just a not on the upper trajectory? or do you think we're going to see a change in language among elected officials? we're already seeing that calls for unity. they're nervous, of course, they're scared. this is a wake up call of reckoning moments for them. the question is, you know, is the genie out of the bottle already kind of be put back in. and i certainly what i'm seeing in my ordinary citizens indicates that there's no going back for them. they are in greece, as many of them on the left say this is justified because to reboot your cell and
12:12 am
trump was using violent roderick. and on the right, there's a lot of conspiracy theories of pulse black ideas and a blame against media. so yeah, it's not a, i don't think we're, we're in a situation where we're likely to see a decline in the book of violence at the moment. thank you for guiding us. through that circulated professor, professor cynthia and the address from the american university in washington was we've been here in the united states has a long history of political violence. and even though both kinds of is on, on calling on their supports to tone down the rhetoric, the political polarization which culminated in sundays, attempted and skews me. unsubsidized attempted assassination of the former president is something that both sides have helped stoke a bullet. grace is the head of a u. s. presidential candidate and assassination attempt that is highlighted just how polarized this election has become. as november approaches,
12:13 am
both the democratic and republican campaigns of sorts to frame the upcoming vote. as an ex essential buttons campaign has used trumps custom, aggressive rhetoric to portray the former president as an authoritarian and a threat to us democracy calls. those will pull, oppose in vermin. it talks about the blood of americans, the poison that going the same exact language used in nazi germany. choices. claire a, tom trump, campaign is about him. not america, not you sound trump campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. he's willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power extreme marissa rick has long shaped trumps approach to politics. alongside false narratives of
12:14 am
a stolen election in 2020 trumpets consistently warm supporters that bite and will destroy the country if re elected with 4 more years of by the hordes of illegal aliens, they are beating across the borders will exceed 40 to 50000000 people. medicare, social security, health care, and public education will buckle and collapse. these are the stakes of this selection. our country is being destroyed. and the only thing standing between you and it's of little ration is me. but with both sides, framing the selection as a choice between freedom and destruction. a climate of fear and trepidation is building amongst votes. has a royce, as poll in may found almost 2 thirds of americans said they were afraid that quote, extremists will commit acts of violence following the election. but the violence has come early in the wake of the attack,
12:15 am
both trump and president button cold for america to re unite temperature in our problem. you know, the, the correct in this country has gotten very heated. it's time to cool down. but years of polarization. have already taken root and the attempt on trumps life may only inflame the situation. so the as well the trump campaign team wasted no time to become a convention and ended months of speculation of his vice presidential running mate the name alongside donald trump. on the republican ticket will be j. d funds, recent weeks. so i'm just advancing birds is a clear for you for us be satisfied from ohio. used to be a photo critic of donald trump, even quoting human atheists, amongst other things. but he's now fully embrace the mca movement as has been criticized by his response to the troubleshooting, posting on ex, just an hour later that the central premise of the bite and campaign is a president. donald trump is an upstart terry and fascist who must be stopped. i
12:16 am
told costs about rest. rick, is that direct me to president from attempted assassination? well, the deputies political fame is at the milwaukee convention. here's our washington bureau chief in his poll. i'm the choice of j defense for vice president edwards. first of all, really interesting birds here now and now since he was a teacher social, this social media platform, it was kind of underwhelming, someone expect adults on himself coming on stage. maybe this is big, but no, he put it out there on a trip social, but it was interesting to see the people here surround me. i said, really, really, i love this. think about the senators from ohio is very conservative. when it comes to bushing wides, he's one of the strongest opponents, for example, for ukraine age. and of course, he's one who was very critical. the strong pete said he didn't devote 5 in 2016,
12:17 am
even a call to him, a bun store and said that to use america simpler. but no, i being off of his job. the obviously changed his mind. and that's innocent pulse now dumped a drug. the last page of the associate professor of political science at emory university. she joins us from washington. welcome to dw dr. let's start with the the selection of of j, the vans system. donald trump's vice presidential running mate. what do you think is behind that choice of uh, judy vance has proven on the sunday morning talk. so show circuit and other than use that he is able separate defender of trump's agenda. he's very articulate in terms of how he presents that platform. and he exuded a certain level of loyalty. and so one of the things that a lot of people ask in all of the interviews that all the potentially be candidates
12:18 am
went through is how you would respond. if it turns out that there's a contested election results such as trump tried to attempt in 2020, and j d man's was actually very articulate and defending his role in that and how he would defend his running mate. uh, you know, if he were, you know, in a position to certify or not certify the results from an election if he were vice president of the united states. so i think those kinds of things really did, you know, help his star rise if you will. and helped him to distinguish himself from some of the other candidates who sometimes equivocated or who were not always as articulate as he has been in terms of defending the trump agenda. i'm what was behind he's conversion if i can put it that way from going going from being so anti trump to being so roger about the full, the president you know, i think that that's certainly an interesting thing and it's something that will be used against him in the election campaign, but i mean he talks about his own conversion,
12:19 am
and i think some people are going to question the motives of doing that. he had political aspirations, it was a way to distinguish himself from other candidates. it was also a way to get donald trump's endorsement when he ran for us senate. and so i think that there are going to be questions about whether or not i, i, uh, the answer is, conversion is an instrumental and opportunistic or whether it is genuine and heartfelt. but suffice to say, senator j events has kind of been firmly in the populace wing of, of the republican party. and given his relative use his 39 years old. he could be the face of what populism looks like in american politics for the next generation. ok, so prince. so presuming a trump fix or indeed even with trump doesn't it isn't a victorious and he will be that in full, full, 5 years time. that's what the republican party will look like. um, i mean, i think that i think he would have incredible case to,
12:20 am
to be made that he is the future of the republican party. i mean, we're looking at somebody who's a millennial, we're looking at somebody you know, at a best selling. and what kind of, you know, memoir slash cultural critique, looking at somebody who's a 1st term sen. he is somebody that borrowing something catastrophic and tragic happening is going to be, you know, on the political scene for the foreseeable future. let's talk about the events of the weekend that we're almost catastrophic. i'm donald trump is not presidents, and he wasn't killed. how do you assess the significance of saturday evenings attack? it is still very disturbing and traumatizing that a presidential candidate team that close to death. he's also a former president, so even as a former president, he is entitled to a secret service detail. so the idea that somebody got within about a $150.00 yards of shooting him and only missed by, you know, an inch or
12:21 am
a few centimeters or millimeters is something that is certainly concerning for our security apparatus. and it also does speak to the tenor and the toxicity of our pilots. it's today that somebody would, you know, feel emboldened to try to attack donald trump. now we must be clear about the fact that we're still trying to figure out what the modem of the sooner was and since he was killed by a sniper, we can't interrogate him directly. but the f b i is going through with his phone and trying to go through any records that he would have left to try to get gain a sense of what actually motivated this particular task. but this is something that, regardless someone's political affiliation is something that's disturbing. people should be able to go to political rallies in peace and support their candidates in peace without worrying about getting shot at whether it's the candidate themselves or the people who were, you know, in the crowd. unfortunately, were side. and in one case kills, except that this is not, you know, political violence in the united states seems to have been a bubbling
12:22 am
a long for us from, for quite a number of years. a representative shot that here a why nationally scaling back just bubbling along as well. i mean, yes, certainly presented or a president. trump is the only politician who has been shot out before. and he certainly, you know, you know, sometimes people are shot at because of mental illness. sometimes people are shot at because of the proliferation of guns in american society. sometimes people are shot at because of political motivations. but it's still really disheartening and really disturbing to see it. and it's especially disturbing when you really recognize that donald trump has more protection than most political candidates than your school board candidates, or even your congressional and sent it in gubernatorial candidates. so this is still, you know, really distressing and this shouldn't be a wake up call for americans to tone down the political rhetoric. i think we have to wait to see whether or not that's going to happen. and at least for presidential politics, you know, it's been a long time since we have seen
12:23 am
a presidential candidate or president get that close to being killed by an assassin . so briefly that not dear thing, those calls for unity and come from the 2 kinds of it's all of a likely to have any effect a so i have to admit, i am not the most optimistic about that, but i'm going to away data. so i'm talking to you now, so which means that i don't have an opportunity to watch the republican national convention right now, but i'm going to be paying attention to the speeches we've heard that most of the speakers have altered their speech to account for the assassination attempt and so i think the big question is, are we still going to hear defiance? are we still going to hear other ring of democrats and when they say unity, what do they mean? they mean unity amongst republicans, or do they mean unity across the country and reaching across the aisle to democrats . so i think we have to wait to see what they say and then we're going to be paying a lot of attention to thursday when donald trump gets his acceptance speech. does
12:24 am
he give the type of acceptance beach that his mom in a sense of his inaugural address in 2020, which was very dark and very negative? or does he try to present himself as you know, the 2nd coming of, of a ronald reagan ro? i think we're really gonna have to pay attention and we don't know the answer to that question. yeah, that's fascinating. i'm out of the system. we thank you for political science is doctor andre glasby from emory university. thank you so much. thank you. but also today, donald trump receive some good news ahead of the republican convention. the judge and florida dismissed one of the legal case against him. mister trump had been accused of illegally holding onto classified documents after leaving office. the judge through the case out saying the lead prosecutor being appointed unlawful. they didn't have the authority to bring the case. it's another major legal victory for the former president, as he thinks it'd be to, to the white house. and the statement on his truth social platform, he called on the judges to dismiss all the pending legal challenges against him,

12:27 am
in the area of the english team all the time, actually that's where the action took place. they just want to hit that goal. and that's also thanks to the trainings over the train up of these young talents. so tonight it's all about potty, as you might have sense. and it's going to be a very, very long and successful one as well. it's always in spitting, betrayed, and that's is the day you can follow that same on social media at cdw and use latest. the headline supports available around the clock on d, w dot com, or on the dw moulton model, the same time, same place for now either from the entire thing the
