the, the the take a look what happened the show to funded the gold from riley, the president leave the side with the loving it and holds up his face pumping. its been defiant. local authorities say that to the people in creating an, a powered shooter on dead following the assassination attempt at joe biden. the us president failed to cool the incident fast. i don't know enough to i, i've seen you,

but i don't have any facts. so i want to make sure we have all the facts before i make some comments on with reactions coming in from all across the us political spectrum. the incident might've been previously been with criticism. then you go to products and then you go to in peace. but now you're going to win, diamond and none of the work. what's next to me, you know, grass is out. man. were speeding toward his aspirations, obviously. and no one will say that, but i don't remember how you can reach that conclusion. the if you don't, the international coming to line from us, do joe's in most go, we're going to stops this hour with breaking news from the u. s. shots being heard. i fired. i said donald from raleigh. take

a look. what happened the well, here's the battery moment, told that incident from speech was stopped in its tracks and he was instantly surrounded by his security surface detail. blood from the show that p is to is a, a cup is the right side of his face. that something held up his face in defiance. the security guards the schools with him on the stage. the u. s. secret service says the full, the president is safe of the incident. but that's cost life now to all the things correspond, caleb move and kind of thanks very much for being with us. so now i told this story . can you bring us up to date with the latest on this shooting while the u. s. secret service, the guards, the life of presidents, former presidents and major presidential candidates, they have at this point said that there is one person, dad,

and 2 that are in critical condition. now the individual dad is believes to be the parent shooter, but that is not yet confirmed. and we have now heard from us. president joe biden gave brief remarks addressing the country condemning political violence. here's what he said to the shocks by far was far attracted to begin with somebody over there with screen 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 jam between the benches. we had a head shot here and lots of blood so i got him also, uh, i got people there really only 100 for the cpr. so

that was a doctor. that was a witness to what occurred described going to the individual who is the apparent shooter trying to provide him medical services, but him dying in the chaotic scene there at the event that took place. now, as i mentioned before, us president joe biden did address the country in the aftermath of these events. and i believe these are the remarks, some of what we heard from you as president joe biden condemning political violence . i have been fairly brave my, all the agencies in the federal government has some situation based on what we know now. i have tried to get ahold of donald, he's with his doctors. they apparently he's doing well. i plan on talking now shortly. i hope when i get back to the telephone book, there's no place in america for this kind of violets. it's sick. it sick?

it's one of the reason why we have to unite this country. we cannot allow for this to be happening. we cannot be like this, we cannot condone this. and so i want to thank the secret service and all the ages, including the state agencies that are in gauge and making sure that the people who and we have more detailed become relative to the other end or other people may be injured in the audience. i don't have all that detail will make that available to you. i may be able to come back later tonight, but we'll put out a statement if we don't. if i'm not able to give it free, if it's not convenient for you all. but the bottom line is that the trump rally rally that he should have been able to can be conducted peacefully without any problem. but the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just on part of just not appropriate. and we, everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody, i'll keep you informed and if i am able to speak to the, to donald,

i'll let you know that as well. so far it appears he's doing well. number one, number 2, that there's thoroughly investigating what happened to anyone else in the audience i have. we have some reports, but not final reports. and every agency, the federal government. and i'm going back to, to my phone, to speak with the federal agencies that are being put together again to give me an updated pre features. and i, they happen. they learn any more in the last couple hours. so thank you very much. and i hope i get to speak to him night and i'll get back to you if i do okay. i don't know enough to i, i've seen you, but i don't have any fax. so i want to make sure we have all the facts before i make some comment. any more comments? thank you to so at this point, we have the video footage of what occurred uh, the image of donald trump. uh, you know, clutching, easier, falling down. uh,

the image of donald trump being escorted off the stage by the secret service with his fist in the air and blood pouring from one side of his face, multiple images of donald trump uh. photographs from different angles have circulated. this is certainly going to be an iconic moment in american history. caleb, we obviously heard the water pose just have to say about this. it is so then to what he didn't pass to say. what kind of reaction we had from across the political spectrum in the us to this attempted assassination? well, it's certainly interesting to note that tucker carlson, the top tv host in the united states. he was on fox news before he was removed from the air. he maintains quite a popular following on social media after being removed from fox news despite having top ratings. tucker carlson, talked about the danger of us present donald trump being assassinated over

a year ago. here's what was said by tucker carlson. or are they going to let trump the president? of course me look. if you know they protested them. they called the names he won anyway, the impeached him twice on ridiculous pretences. they the fabricated a lot about what happened on january 6th in order to impeach him again. it didn't work. he came back then the indicted didn't. it didn't work. he became more popular the 3 more times and every single time his popularity ropes to begin with criticism . then you go to protest and you go to one piece right now you go to indict minute and now the more what's next. let me let you know, grass it out, man. were speeding toward assassination, obviously. and no one will say that, but i don't, i don't know how you can reach that conclusion. so it's interesting at this time to

recall how tucker carlson was widely condemned for these remarks by us mainstream media. they call them inflammatory, you called them promoting conspiracy, there is etc. they may want to revisit their reaction to these comments. as today's advance seemed to shed a different light on them, so to speak. yeah. did. and this is no the 1st assassination of time. don't the pull the session. this is it. as well. know we saw what happened to fits go in slovakia and the events that took place and his response the attempted assassination there. and there's been an upsurge of political violence throughout the western world in the past decade. no question about it. people recall the events in charlottesville when donald trump was president, people recall the, the george floyd protests uh that broke out in 2020, as well as the january 6th of 2021. advance in the aftermath is donald trump was leaving office. uh,

the polarization in american politics is certainly escalated and throughout the western world. people look at the advance where you had the death of sions all being the beloved former prime minister of japan, and how he was shot immediately following just to just weeks following the launch of rush, a special military operation. and people are noticing that there is a lot of polarization, not just in america, but in western europe and in other countries, there is instability rising and that people are certainly going to fit today's advance in with that polarization and division. now donald trump and his supporters often talk about what they call the deep state, which is a concept that many of the drum support is defined differently, but they see it as an apparatus of and elected folks in the government tied in with security services. the api i the intelligence agencies and it appears that that many of trump supporters see there's some kind of deep state attempt against donald trump. now at this point we have very little information about the apparent shooter

. what is motivations may have been, but regardless that just as there it continues to be speculation about the death of john f. kennedy. just as there continues to be speculation about the attempted assassination of ronald reagan in 1981, you can be sure there will be speculation about today's advance for years and years to come. donald trump, supporters already feel that the establishment in united states is against donald trump is drummed, is going to use the and the mainstream media smearing and other things to prevent him from taking office. and they would certainly are going to fit today's advance. and with what they see is a pattern of attempts to stop donald trump by entrenched and powerful forces. now we don't know if this was just alone was. this was just some individual who may have objected to donald trump's policies or just separate from mental illness or whatnot. we don't have all the facts, but we know that many trump supporters have an understanding of an establishment that is out to get in. and they are going to fit today's events in with that narrative and, and with their understanding of the deep state and the need to quote,

drain the swamp, which is a consistent theme in terms of rhetoric. okay, well caleb, thank you very much for bringing this up to date with the latest on that. and so that's all t corresponding caleb move in with the former president himself. donald trump has described what happened from his perspective on his truth social media account. it is incredible that such an act can take place in our country. i was shot with a boy at the pierce, the upper part of my right ear. i knew immediately that something was wrong in that i heard a whizzing sound shots and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin, much bleeding took place. so i realized then what was happening. well, let's discuss this further. now with joe, let's move, let john, i'm direct impact coast of rick sanchez. thank you very much for joining us on the program. a pretty incredible last few hours. i want to talk a little bit about want to bite and said to the nation,

but we have just heard from donald trump on his truth media. i'm rick, i'm just going to start with you want to take away from what donald trump us has to say about this attempted assassination a thank you so much the i think if you look at the implications of this, and i think it behooves us at this point to look at political implications when we see a situation like this. on the one hand, i feel terrible talking about the political implications because as we understand that one person is dead. obviously the shooter was apparently killed as well. and the perhaps future president of the united states is in the hospital with what he describes as a bullet bone. but, you know, rather than trying to play detective at this point, which none of us are in a position to do, i think it behooves us to look at the political implications of this situation. and the political implications are quite simple. we have a man who was just shot and while bleeding, he raised his fist in the air and basically told the audience to fight on as they

cheered usa usa now from a hospital bed. he's reacting once again with what certainly looks like a certain level, at least of political courage. that's certainly the way most of the people back donald trump, what will describe it? and on the other hand, we have a president to just finished. what is arguably one of the most weak performances in the history of the presidency of what would be described as a key moment in his presidency, which was the hosting of a nato. so when you just opposed those 2 situations, it's a, it's a really, really, really bad day for the democratic party. it's a bad day for the president of the united states and, and it started that's already look at. and this was even before this incident. and even before the nato summit, like donald trump, was already pulling way when you,

when you throw into that. now the, the, just the disaster really i wish i didn't have to use that word. but the disaster that was the nato summit, both for nato leaders and for the president and for the white house. and now you add onto that this situation where it looked like the president of so thank goodness is going to be fine. and the courage that he seems to be displaying amid this situation. it's really looking like this. the political implications of this is that a donald trump is lined up to possibly continue as the next president of the united states. so it'd be hard to disagree with that at this point. i think some people are suggesting that this could mean to some sort of carnation manila. i just want to ask you, rick was talking to her about the disastrous ne, to somebody to oversee. there's been a huge amount of focus on joe biden over the last few weeks in particular about whether his cognitive health is there or not. i just sort of take you to that brief statement we had from joe biden about an hour ago where it looked why he was being asked the question of whether he thought this was an assassination attempt. they

looked like he was your meeting and ready to be tucked up in bed. i think the report suggesting the by didn't they trying to limit how much he's working so possibly past his bedtime a festival. does it look like, could you bite in should be that right now in the oval office, and what do you think about what she didn't have to say specifically cooling this and assess the nation attempt? all right, i think all good and solid points. charlotte, i'll save this about joe biden and his cognitive abilities at the moment. we've heard directly from his press team that the president is promptly to be done with work by 8 pm. and at the time that this, this presser, that this brief pastor and commentary that he gave about the incident at donald trump's riley was getting quite close to that time of the cutoff time. that they

would presume allow the president to make public presentations or announcements. i don't know how we would frame that at this point because we've never heard ever in american history that the united states president has a specific bed time. it's always been the understanding that the united states present post works 247 and the that's why people age, you know, big. we joke here in the us that, that presidents and age and dog years that at the end of their 4 year term they've age, you know, 28 years 30 years in that time. so to see has an invite and looking continually weak and tired and exasperated. i don't think it gives the nation a lot of confidence about him continuing his campaign at this point we've seen but in, for a party fighting at this point, what i've done the clinic who if you will, who is you know, george clooney is the, the perfect space to deliver such

a brutal attack within his own party to say it's time to step down. and now that we hear from donald trump continuing to be strong and defiant even moment after, at the moment that he was injured. i think to just suppose those 2 men, i think this, this moment as caleb said earlier, that photograph by the a p is, is a defining moment in this a campaign cycle. it's going to be a defining moment in american history. that is quite possibly the photo that will still be a election for this november in favor of donald trump when you just oppose these 2 men. i think it's, it's lights out for joe biden, no pun intended, with his bedtime. but to their credit, joe biden did come out and did make a statement. the vice president made a statement. they've suspended all ad campaigns in and around the united states for

this in sort of a, a media nod to saying, we do not approve of any sort of political violence even though he refused to address it as an assassination attempt. and i will also say that my sources that are downtown have witnessed beefed up for protection around the white house, the walking the footpath along the front side of the white house. the north lawn has been shut down. there's beast up, police president, presence and security. all around washington dc because, you know, at this point it is still breaking news. it's still unfolding. people are not sure if this is a low wolf attack or if there is a concerted effort, a political violence all through washington. so we are all on heightened alert right now at this point in the nation's capital women in the use of the, the clinic who i think i'm going to dump the folks. so the trump, and i'm just on the right. i just want to bring you in, rick on that middle of was talking about the fact that that job,

i didn't said there was no place for political violence, but not long ago. i think it's july. 8th is a phone call. the bite in may just be widely reported and which is a power is supposed to have said it's truck time to put a trump in a bullseye. is that no instigating political violence himself for? you know, here's what i think. i don't think joe biden knows what he's talking about literally, and i don't mean that as a political statement. i mean that more in terms of almost like a health statement or medical statement. i think uh, whatever he read tonight was something that was handed to him, written by a team of his uh, public relations handlers. and i think it was that they went over it the staff did, and then he read it. i think half of the things that he says these days, he's not quite sure what he's saying. so i get in the, in the spirit of fairness,

i think we should be real careful about giving too much credence to any words that come out of vice president the truck president biden's mouth at this point. but i will tell you this, and i think this is important, and i hope this doesn't get lost in the story. lot. while it's really, really important that we're talking about, you know, the past president of the united states and how they shift this attack might be, you know, here's the numbers that i just looked up, that we should be sharing with our viewers around the world. if you live in the united states of america, you are $26.00 times more likely to be shot and killed. then if you are a citizen of any other countries in the world, especially the developed countries. and here's another one low to that you're going to. but i think we should share with your viewers up 327. people are shocked in the united states every single day. let me say that again. 327 people are shocked in the united states every single day. so when, when we talk about violence,

and in this particular conversation that we're having, we're talking about the political assassination of the president of the united states or an attempted assassination. perhaps i should say, you know, let's, let's, let's not let this be loss that we know i'm not talking to you right now, are living and by far the most dangerous country in the world, when it comes to weaponry. and when it comes to people who are shop and when, when i, when i saw this story and i saw the president get shot and go to the ground and i heard the shots fired people screaming. i thought to myself, this is making news today because it happens to be donald trump, but this thing happens in the united states every single day. in fact, it happens so much the media doesn't even cover anymore. and that should be a part of this conversation. i think as well. yeah, and those are very stokes does it sticks and lets not forget as well. but one audience member was apparently killed in not shooting to manila and in light of the political violence,

there's also have comments that came out. this is from the mega dumbness abide and who is from netflix. this is read hoffman, who just said i wish i had made from an actual mall to again in light of what we have seen in the last few hours it. is it acceptable? the comments like face of being made. oh, an old as well. yeah. well i will absolutely steal a uh, a phrase, a turn of phrase used by hillary clinton here. isn't that a deplorable thing to say? i'm coming from read hoffman. this is where we're at in the united states. and, and i mean, perhaps it's quite apropos that he is a chief executive at netflix who makes films and movies and, and violent films and movies at that that. but this is a movie. this is a real life. these are real people love or hate. donald trump love or hate joe

biden. there's humanity here. and unfortunately, to rick's point, because the united states is quite possibly the most violent the country on earth. and our culture has accepted this as a norm, whether it's in our movies, whether it's in our daily lives, whether it's on local news and i for one rick as well. he knows we both came from local news. that's how we started our careers. and we reported on gun violence every single day in ever any city across the united states. so this is par for the course if you are here in the 50, the upper 50 states. um, so to have an executive of an entertainment firm makes such a rude and disgusting remarks. he should be condemned for that. and again, i will credit the, by the administration and perhaps there comes team for putting out these statements . but calling for peace and for for, for saying that political,

any kind of violence should not be acceptable. and i think i agree with that. and mr. hoffman should be condemned for those statements because this is perpetuating this ongoing cycle of violence that we have in this american culture. that is the 1st thing that needs to be fixed here in the us. and it's, it's only heightened, as rick said, because this is donald trump. obviously he's a significant character on the world landscape and obviously running for president again. so this just goes to highlight what is oddly and why with culture we have developed for ourselves in the 20th century. we're now in the 21st century, a country that you know, the, the, the pentagon and the d o. d are the biggest, the biggest companies in the world. when you perpetuate violence around the world, it should be no shock that your culture then becomes that a violent rick. i can see it so many other bits and getting on this. what are your

thoughts on that? so i think the thing that we should probably be addressing now, and if, if, if you know, we, we have the good fortune of being on our tea. and, you know, we're probably even at this early hour around the world being seen by millions of people, and i think that it's incumbent upon us to help them understand what is the political under current in the united states right now. um, you know, i'm an old salty dog and i've been covering news for many years. you know, going back to the 19 seventy's when the united states was divided, as at least i've ever seen it divide it in my lifetime. i would argue it's more divided right now. we are, as some people have said, and i will quote them and not use it as my words, but maybe perhaps on the brink of a civil war. because the polarization that exists right now between the people who call themselves the left and people who call themselves the right,

is as distant as, as it's ever been, you know, loyalty and what, what, what i fear. after looking at this situation tonight and watching the, the, the, the, i are in the anger and the faces as you watch that video after the shooting. those people who were in trumps rally were angry as they should be. right. and, and, and as i, what i see here now as, as an american journalist who covers the story is that this incident is only going to it's probably further ignite, these, these tensions, you know, the people who love trump and there are certainly many of them are going to love him even more and they're going to be more app now to perhaps act on it. and the people who hate trump, you know, are probably going to say stupid things like we just heard from uh, from, from the netflix, uh, executive a little while ago. and this kind of thing. it's not good. and,

and i'm not sure what, what the answer is to it. but i think for on the precipice, it's something that can get really ugly in this country. and, you know, it's, it's another one of those. uh, you know, what we try to do on our show direct impact is we, we, we look at trends, we look at where things are going. and this is one of the things that we've been paying a lot of attention to over the last year. and i, and i only seen this situation tonight, not making it better obviously, but pop perhaps making it worse and maybe even making it more dangerous. more dangerous and more escal atory. yeah, uh manila wrecked talking there about things becoming more escal atory. obviously we've seen not violence in the last few hours in the us, but we've also seen over the last few months, a huge amount of violence only european continents surrounding elections. we have uh the attempted assassination of robot feet. so from slovakia there was an ac politician in germany that was stopped in the back. we sold violence in the elections in front just in the last few weeks. i mean, you know,

where all we headed all of these dangerous times as rick seemed, suggests we are in a hi, unfortunately. have to agree with that assessment. i don't foresee any of this violence being smoothed away and quelled any time soon. i think the world has become even more divided. we have, we have turned every body political figures and otherwise even celebrity figures here in the us, in the caricature is of what humans are. we see in the us the narrative of what, what president pollutant is and this is a fight of good and evil instead of the complex nuances of who humans are and the nuance of foreign policy that is all gone. we live in a world of tick tock, 32nd, sound bites and videos, and nobody pays attention to the actual details of what is transpiring before they're very eyes. so when you, when you look at everything in that context,

i don't think we are coming together any time soon because nobody has the attention span to come together to hear the other side. so i think we're only further pulling away from one another at the seems especially here in the united states. and if the united states are moto, here is where the leader of the free world. well, if we are leading by example, then we're leading i the example of violence and death and destruction unfortunately. so i do not foresee this coming down anytime soon. the temperature is only going up the bat, i'm very sorry. we all are out of time. i do appreciate everything you've talked about and appearing on the show. much appreciate that still and less manila time and direct impact toes formalities are me, rick sanchez, much appreciated. let's just get a quick recap of what's happened in the last few hours the suspected sheet to find

.
