on the spot speed a lot since security around from p talks about an incident where he was at mar logo and he was asked about whether he had a gun that he suggests. and he came back. it was asked to be got rid of it and he said yes, but they didn't check um is it acceptable that there is this lack of proof of security around a former president who is standing for re election this year? yeah it's, it's um, you know, it's difficult to say on this and the end, trump draws huge crowds and i understand that everyone was going so there was in the, the secure zone was going through a security checks and everything like that. but i also from my understanding is that the trump, the team had asked for additional secret service protection and security prior a couple of weeks ago and they were turned down similar to robert kennedy was junior,

was turned down for his request, the security uh uh, secret service protection. so it's um you know, it's the administration's got some, some blame they need to accept on this for not providing and not ensuring ample sufficient security is provided to the president. trump is the main competitor in a, in to any other they should be providing security to robert kennedy junior to so. so it's, um, it's questionable and really kind of i have to look at and what's, what's the decision making process on this, on, on why ample security and proper security is not being provided in that to that, that is provided, this is not clearing and not secure in the area as sufficient as it should. i want to pick you up on that point and that's interesting. so we know in the 2016 election of the trunk was wearing

a bullet proof vest. this was after an incident in ho hire. you mentioned that that his team had asked recently for an increased and security detail does suggest to you that his team have been assuming something like this might happen. they were trying to get ahead of it. it would be would. that's what i would. i would not know for sure for sand, but it seems that they were attempting to get ahead of it. and as a precautionary type of measure, mean, let's face it. the campaign is, is very des devices and it's gotten even more so probably the one of the worst that i've ever seen. and so it's, um, uh, you know, that i, i think they feel it. and so, so they're just taking the appropriate precautions. you've got a lot of people that follow trump and easily, even though they do security checks easily, somebody might be able to get by and this was obviously the experience sooner. uh

as that and um and i don't know if that's true or not, but so far i, i've heard from one story from one new source that there was no indemnification on the shooter as well. we haven't had the name of the street so yet. so we can't really speculate about that, but we have had some speaking about what happened to him. he put out a statement on his true speed. yeah. and i'm sure there are a lot of people in the world, very happy to hear that the former president is completely, you know, able to do that and has not been sort of picked back by this attempted assassination to time. but going forward, how do you think this will in bold and his aspect, we've had a lot to compensate to say, well, a lot since he's already won the election, new need a sanctioning for a vote in november. but how do you think this will in both in him? i think this a trump's a fighter and he is not going to allow this to to dampen him and you saw him. i mean, the seat target is had the wrong way. just a fraction of

a 2nd differently your different direction. the bullet would appear so sad. so uh and he'd probably realize that he reacted that as the sort of um, but you saw his reactions, he got up and he wanted to make sure the crowd knew he was fine. he was okay. he's going to continue the fight and uh, and the crowd recognized that to any also, when he made is a statement afterwards i reached out to a to the families of those that were inherited. and unfortunately the one that was killed and provided lives. condolences something very, very a presidential in my mind and, and very tearing quotes, those that are supporting him. so it's a i think this, this will actually increase. you'll get a closer following and it'll get a much more. um, i think it's supporters will come out even stronger than they, and then they are right now and they are quite strong as it is. you said the very

presidential, i think we can control start with perhaps how we've seen joe biden appearing for the last 3 weeks, particularly the gas that he's made. talking of joe biden. it was reported that in a private phone call. this is on july 8th. it's just a couple of days ago that he had said it's time to put trump in a bullseye given what's happened over the last few hours. what are your thoughts on that conversation? well, probably not. the best words uh and verbiage used um the but. but if you looked at by his career, he often times have has gaps even without talking to challenges. these made gaps like that in the past, even though is a senator. so it's not surprising but, but it needs to be very careful on this type. and at least he's come up with

a statement recently you know, saying trying to tamp down the rhetoric and, and everything and, and passing his concern on. so the public statement, most recently re released as a, is a move that was more in a positive direction than what was initially. so it's um, although the whole thing on whether or not there's an assassination attempt, the not recognizing that that's this is a debt exactly. what it was is kind of questionable as well, but, but i think he's trying to, uh, at least initially trying to tempered down the divisiveness into rhetoric. i understand he's gonna hold off on some advertising that was supposed to be going out this weekend. so it's uh, yeah, yeah, so we'll see what happens but, but yes, definitely the verbage he used and that phone call or was, is not appropriate. and just the language in general that's been going on recently

is just create more. uh i, i, i saw a of some email recently this last week and i've never seen such this for all comments towards the candidate ever in my life and, and, and from people that you respect, you know, you kind of go, wow, what happened here. so it's, um, it's really a lot of emotions going back on either side right now and, and it's, it needs to be believed that this is not our country. it's not what we found it on . it's not where we stand for. we may have differences, but we need to violence should not be part of this and, and we need to control ourselves in that area. he talks about the rhetoric and how it's been sort of, you know, raising up particularly some things you've seen in the last week. we actually had a comment from one to 5 and mega donors. this is read hoffman just 2 days ago,

saying that he wished he had made from an actual malta. we know exactly what that means. it means essentially getting rid of someone, again in light to what's happened. what do you make of those kind of comments and does by didn't need to come down to honda on his support is in light of this attempted assassination on donald trump. yeah. i think he needs to make it clear those orders, and i think the leadership within the democratic party and probably some elements within the republican party needs to make sure their donors are all right. and their supporters are, you know, cap down the, the emotion on bob let's, let's discuss the issues and let's not let's not call for the elimination of the other other side. so it's that does nothing for the country and nothing to help us move forward. so and so we're very divided right now,

and i think we've been divided for quite a while and it just getting worse. and this is a, this is what happens when that happens. so, so we need to, hopefully not stop the fires even worse. okay, well we're gonna have to leave it that. thank you very much for joining us here on the us international s l rasmussen. retired lieutenant colonel and international security consultants. let's just get a recap of the latest in this attempt on donald trump slice that has taken place in pennsylvania. he naturally escapes and you know, that's a little bit all that chart that she likes a couple of months old. and if you want to really see something, this said, take a look what happens. the speech was stopped in its tracks,

as you can see that he was instantly then surrounded by his security. a service detail, blood from the shore to peace tuesday then is covering the right side of his face from held up a fist in defiance. before lightning the security guards the scrutiny of the stage, the secret service says the former president is now se, let's see, well the shoot. it was located and then killed by law enforcement. one respect say to was killed. and 2 others were critically injured. that trump has already departed from the hospital where he was being treated. he's moved to k, seeing him driving away. he then dis, finds what happens on his social media account. is this 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, meanwhile, joe biden, to address the nation in response to the attack on donald trump, and he failed to call it an assassination attempt. i don't know enough to i, i'll tell you, but i don't have any facts. so i want to make sure we have all the facts before i make some comment. any more comments? thank it will, despite the changing from plans to attend monday's republican gathering partic, gathering this is, according to its committee, we discussed the attempt on his life with the investigative journalist of the founder of the truth in media. this has been swollen and he said that trump could very well get a boost in his credibility among americans take when you watch what's been

happening, but the truck, as he continues to move toward what looks more, more or like another term. and by the way, this has only happened one other time in american history that a former president who then loses his re election bid comes back and runs again and when it's only happened one other time. and so the fact that this might happen never happened in modern history. there is a, an absolute level of not just vitriol, but penance on the part of not just the left, but establishment washington, the deep state in this country, the military industrial complex. they are all terrified to the idea that trump would get back in because here's the problem, but trump poses for them. they did not like his policies the 1st time around until they attempted to destroy him as a human being, they tried to bankrupt him. he is facing unbelievable penalties a financial penalties as a result of these lawsuits in the hundreds of millions of dollars they've attempted to lock him in prison. they've been, they've gone after him in ways that have been entirely on president trump and does

get re elected. i believe that his 2nd term will be completely different than his 1st because there is nothing more dangerous than a wounded person and that's what they've done to him financially, in terms of his life and his freedom, and now wounded physically by bullets as they attempted to kill him and i say they, we don't know much about the shooter at this point. really anything about the shooter at this point? it but enough to say that there is absolute terror of the idea that this man may become president again. because i believe that he will dismantle a bunch of the permanent geography and much of the american kind of a permanent state people dismantle. a lot of that, as he said, he was the 1st time this time, i think he actually will when trump was indicted. his popularity went up tremendously because many republicans who didn't really like him at the end of his 1st term, they feel like he hadn't done a whole lot. trump did not run a very good campaign in 2020 wasn't a very exciting candidate. they. he lot of people of kind of lost passion for him

even though he, you receive a huge number of other people. but there was a lack of enthusiasm and when you begin to be persecuted, americans live in under dog and, and they hate bully and a lot of americans see him as the bully. and so there were a lot of republicans who were kind of on the fence about it and a lot of independence, but to watch him in dyed. it was a riley and call for a lot of people who said, you know what, we see what's happening here. trump is actually seen his popularity among minority communities, black americans, hispanic americans go up from being indicted because they feel that he's being targeted and he's being wrong, fully attacked. so that was already taking place, but the idea now that he is so hated and so fear that his political opponents would want him dead rather than in the white house. again, there is something about that is a, that is powerful and, and believe that trump is, is the master of trinity any moment into his brain. the audio, i think that it's important to think about audio when,

when trump who is 41st pulled up and he said, no, let me get my shoes. i think of my shoes. the secret service was trying to take him off the state, and trump refused to leave the stage without a shoot. that's not accidental. that's him knowing he's going to walk off. he's not going to walk off in a week. wait, you can hear him say in the audio port on wait a minute, wait a minute, he says. and then he begins to compass based in new york blood across his face and is visited the air. and he's now the, in other words, like fight fight as he's going off the stage. this is the kind of thing that will draw a lot of americans to him because they'll say this and if he's willing to fight and he really is the target of these forces, there must be something that he stands for, that they don't like. and the fact is, this country's not going in the right direction. it hasn't been for a long time. and a lot of people feel that. but they want an advocate moments like this. make trump the ultimate advocate for those people to visit happen to president biden. and, and you would heard those noises. you would see the headlines of shots the ring out attempted murder of, of the present abiding that trumps rhetoric causes. i'll bet you by tomorrow. if

you want to make a little bit here. i'll bet you by tomorrow you're going to see headlines in this country. let's say that it is trump's rhetoric that caused this, that it is trumps of vitriol, but trumpets some device. but he is the reason that this happens. i can almost guarantee that those headlines will, will show up in this country because the problem that mainstream media has right now is they hate the idea of truck being the victim or trump, again, being able to rally people to himself for sympathetic reasons. when we discussed the sure thing with a panel of guests political analyst on, so make a showing stone and also human rights lawyer done cabal like they say, that before the assassination of time, the mainstream american media was biased in covering the events relating to trump. certainly. ready i think the biggest thing that i would raise it seems that shooter is a, has been identified as someone that is part of that

t v. which for years. but basically the f, b i, the establishment has tried to downplay as a, as what it is as potentially terrorist organization of violent organization. a lot of the violence that we saw on 2020 stems from, from number 70 bucks. and so, you know, the fact that the left is basically tried to make n t fund to this sort of benevolent group as opposed to potentially weaponized or something. the key weaponized to, to create a terror events and the destination attempts like this. i think the this is the glaring omission that was made in that speech. so shown, i just want to go back to something that was said on july, the 8th. this was a private cool. the bite and made is being widely reported. he said it's reported it's time to put trump in new rules. so i how do you think that conversation now

looks in retrospect with what's happened over the last few hours? i mean it was in the left loves to say that trump is, is instigating violence that is rallies and it's like you look at the rhetoric of the left from 2020 and before when joe biden said you want to take trump bind locker and punch him the nero wanting to need a trump, uh, how many, how many people have said, you know, they, they wanted to kill and blow up the white house. i mean, okay, the, the, the left, the less rhetoric has been intense of the last 8 years. but since the drop came on the scene, well i'm finding is mega. i don't know, we'd go read hoffman. netflix qu find of said, and i quote, i wish, but i had made from an actual monta. again, i just want to bring in know, done, cuz all like a regular guess terminology in 2 days. i'm done. you know, what are your thoughts or your comments on those quotes that we've had

some those mega donors that i wish i had made from an actual moss or again well, i mean that's so very scary thing for people to be saying. i mean, the 1st thing that comes to mind is, frankly, the us, i think, is unique certainly in the, in the industrialized world for political violence. right? you have john f. kennedy, bobby kennedy, martin luther king, malcolm x killed there were assassination attempts against gerald for ronald reagan . now donald trump, i mean, you just don't see this in other again, industrialized countries like this other countries in the west to claim to be democracies. it's, it's a country certainly since world war 2 and, and other times as well. but he's just been marked by this sort of political violence. and he said the rhetoric of both sides can be very violent and can seem

to incite and, and, and beg for violence to get on both sides of the aisle. and it's it really calls into question the state of american democracy, which i think is not healthy. i think that's kind of obvious. i think the world has seen that how really unhealthy it is. so down i just wanna ask, do we think political assassination attempts now, are they feel to be coming in a bit of us florida we have. so if i can prime minister robot feet, so had an attempt to made on him just a couple of months ago. we've seen this now attempt on a former president, trump. i don't know whether maybe i'm a bit going to less field head, but there's something that those 2 individuals definitely have in common. and that is that position on the russia, ukraine conflict. we know that, but fate. so who said he wants to then to the conflict and that he has suggested that nature should be supplying the weapons. that is,

his country doesn't want to supply weapons, doesn't want to be used as a call to do it. there is a suggestion, but from past applying to and this conflict within 24 hours. i'm how much do you think perhaps this is plague into it? a well, it's a good question. first of all, i have to say it's too early to say we will, you know who this person was. what is intentions were that we might have been working for what we will know and the fullness of time. however, you know, obviously some people are reacting by saying, hey, if you want peace, this is what you get. they try to kill you and of course. busy i mentioned john kennedy, bobby kennedy to politicians that did want peace wanted peace, including with russia, the soviet union at that time, is there a coincidence between all these i, you know, i don't know, but obviously there seems to be a pad or um,

if this guy was part of a n t for what you sean said there, there are some reports. he was a lot of us have wondered whether n t for itself is some sort of intelligence operation. you know. so again, that's just speculation. but we have to consider these things, of course. so let's take a break even on this. seems like it's very dangerous times. do think we're headed down a very dark role given that we're seeing these assassination attempts on politicians . i mean, in the us, i think there's not been in the south nation attempt since one will reagan in 1981 did that. you can call the deeds they know the elements that are basically trying to keep trump out of power in jail. i think there was an expectation that they would try to kill him. i think so if anything, this is actually

a good sign that they were not successful or the shooter or if it was just one shooter. but if it was an actual number of that forces behind it, then we are very lucky that it was not successful. that's actually a very good sign. okay. um and what role will show, i'm just talking about some of the issues of being pulled up. do you think that the media coverage has necessarily played in the incident that we saw playing out in front of us live on tv in the states? sure, sure. well, i mean again, i mean if i could, you know, count them i, i could, i couldn't count on my, my 2 hands hire people have said that they want to see trump killed, right. or they would love to shoot. and i mean, this is not, this is like part of the rhetoric of these last 8 years because we've been living through a psychological operations. the media has been a point and america, they have literally pushed in lies from you know, from, from, even before he was president, that he was a russian agent. and he's, you know, that he's pushing racism, that he, you know,

that he's all these things that basically whatever they want to put out there as an information operation implant that narrative. you never saw a media treat any president before trump. the wasn't the for the trump. you never saw the media. the basically belittle him, be some merchant lie about him. so it goes to show you there's been a concerted effort by mockingbird media and media. if you want to call it that, to essentially turn a half the country vehemently against the president. not just like, hey, i don't like the president literally to the place that i said people are literally happy to see them as ask them to. that's what media has done the last 8 years. and i just want to talk about some of the headlines that we seeing from the us the seem to be really ready to send to describe this as an attempted assassination. really soft thing it's. i'm not talking about assume to talking about poll pulps that were head in the crowd, and loud noise is to think that there is this rack distance from

a big media outlets and us to call this what it exactly seems to be and not so the attempted assassination yeah, and of course cnn, one of their headlines which people point to sense secret service removes trump battery bell and just somehow fail. no, it's incredible. um, it's the same media, frankly, that's been covering up provide is metal, you know, the intellectual capacity deficits for you for so long. um, this is all politically motivated. you know? yeah, you're the headline that says the trump merely fell or there may have been shots or you know, the don't even say he was shot when he clearly was you watch the video is bleeding . he's fairly shot. um, they're politically motivated. they don't want to make trump into here. oh they, you know, these are the products that you're referring to, are anti trump,

they've pro biden, and they don't hide it. i mean, they don't depress it. one time at least try to pretend to be neutral. now they don't even pretend uh they're, they're very part of, you know, pretty much, yeah. most of the pricing biden's gap, fox news on the other. that's how uh, on our kind of lines. uh and uh they're, they're not neutral and they're not fair and they're not balanced in their coverage despite what they claim to be. and it's, it's really, it's really disappointing. people see it that they're saying it, they're pointing to it and they're not believing the mainstream press anymore for that reason because they see with their own eyes what's happening and they're being told something else is happening. i'm done, i just want to ask you how do you think this will affect perhaps the general atmosphere raleigh's. over the next few months, it's been suggested that we'll see a bigger configuration and bigger base of people coming out to support them. but i assume they'll be foss strict the security measures in place. yes. well,

that's for sure. that's absolutely for sure. they may even have some sort of a bullet proof glass in front of him if he allows it. i mean, he obviously some kinda thrives on this sort of thing. as do is it does his base. i mean, the yeah, yeah, they will come out in full force now. i think you'll see more, you know. yeah, i think you'll see bigger crowds, but definitely more secure. so one way or another more secure when you see how this was configured, this raley, which looked like it was out, and it pretty much, it opened via some buildings in the background were that guy was able to hide. i think they will be very reluctant to have it in that sort of atmosphere. they're going to have in a much more controlled atmosphere. i would guess to prevent this from happening again without so we have time for this i'll, we will be back in a few minutes. smallwood, live or reaction a to that attempted assassination of former president donald trump with

a raleigh in pennsylvania. i do hope that you can join us again here on oxy international the, the russian states never is as tight as one of the most sense community best. most all sense i'm up the, in the 65 to 5 must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz vote net keeping our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. what question did you say

stephen twist, which is the

the take a look what happened, the goal from the lights in this fascination attempt while addressing thousands of simpletons during a valley in pennsylvania, shortly off the need to supply for i knew immediately this something was wrong in that i heard of whizzing sound shots and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin, much bruising took place. so i realized and what was happening. god bless america. well, the see. so who took aim? and donald trump is dead. the secret service um, so the suspect kate has also lost his lunch during the attack. however, joe biden failed.
