12:01 am
i don't know enough to i am, i'm a tenant, but i don't have any facts. so i want to make sure we have all the facts before i made a 9 pouring of support for donald trump. of those are upset, the students didn't have a bad aim, and a sickness is friending, suggesting the assassin had one job. so the question remains, was this attack on the cause? in with criticism, then you go to practice, then you go to a piece, but now you're going to win. dana and none of the work. what's next? let me let you know graphic. oh, man. were speeding toward a fascination, obviously, and no one will say that, but i don't remember how you can reach that conclusion. the
12:02 am
a this is also the international coming to life of most studios, hey, in moscow it's just going to 7 am here. i'm midnight on the east coast of the usa. we're just a few hours ago in attempt was made on the life of donald trump. so we're going to talk about that breaking news from the u. s. a sniper who attempted to take donald trump slice while a full of precedent, narrow li 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? what some 20 there in the middle, the riley, his speech was stopped in its tracks, not long off that he stones it. but he was instantly surrounded by his secret service detail blood from the shore. the piece to a cup is the right side of his face. trunk, though held up
12:03 am
a fist in silly defiance, telling the cry to fight on the floor like him. security guards his full name off the stage. the secret service says the former president is now safe one spec tate to the was killed into others with critically injured in, not shooting. the shooter was located and then killed by law enforcement. here is how witnesses described what happened is more like what we heard. voltage rattling around the grandstand, one hit this bigger tower. okay, awesome. we have the 1st i'll after her shots got fired. then the hydraulic line was spraying all around the drawing soon coming out of it. and then another shot was, i mean it wasn't the flag, right? because i mean, they weren't, they weren't super loud. they were,
12:04 am
they were here as well as it's an additional lamp. and it won't matter. and then we just kind of took over behind us through the form. talk to them the saw him. ok. well that's close live now to all these correspondent kayla moping, his life for us in new york. caleb, it's been a long old evening and night over there in the u. s. b, you can, you just bring this up to date with the latest on the shooting? sure, at this point though,
12:05 am
we do have the report showing that the alleged shooter is dead. he was killed in addition to that, a spectator, an audience member was also killed and we understand this shooter, their name has been put forward. now there is an identification, a photo of this person that has surface that's come from the secret service and from law enforcement. um a lot is still being raised in terms of questions about motive and how they were able to get so close. what exactly was going on with security? but donald trump is out of the hospital. we all saw how he was bleeding from his ear. the bullet apparently struck the upper part of his right ear. he went to the hospital for treatment for that injury. he's out of the hospital now, and this statement was put forward onto his social, the social media outlet, the donald trump bones. i want to thank the united states secret service and all of
12:06 am
law enforcement for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in butler pennsylvania. most importantly, i want to extend my condolences to the family of the person that the rally who was killed and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. it is incredible that such an act can take place in our country. nothing is not at this time about the shooter who is now dead. i was shot with the 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. god bless america . now it's also important to note that joe biden address the nation as the president about the fact that the main opponent of his and the upcoming election in november was attempted, you know, faced and attempted assassination. however, during joe biden's press conference,
12:07 am
which was very brief, as brief remarks to the nation, he stopped short of calling it an attempted assassination. even after he was directly asked about that by a reporter. let's review what was said by the president of the united states and the aftermath of today's of that's 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. so 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 peters and i, they happen. they learn any more in the last couple hours. now it's also important to note that the rally site is under thorough investigation. all kinds of law
12:08 am
enforcement agencies are in butler, pennsylvania, trying to get to the bottom of what exactly happened, the f, b i the, the bureau of alcohol, firearms and tobacco. the secret service is all over the scene. a lot of questions are being raised, but donald trump made clear he will continue his campaign. and the republican national convention where donald trump is scheduled in the next few days to accept the nomination of his party will proceed as usual, they will not be cancelling the republican convention. donald trump is that to go in and accept the republican nomination in milwaukee. very soon. okay, that'd be both as the, the reaction from joe biden. what kind of reaction has come though from across the political spectrum in the us, in response to that attempted assassination. but one thing that is certainly on people's minds or the recent or not so recent one year ago, comments from tucker carlson, tucker carlson,
12:09 am
uh the fox news host with the top viewers and the united states widely viewed across the country very out of show on fox news remove still very popular on social media, interviewing the russian presidents and other prominent individuals. tucker carlson over a year ago suggested something like this was likely to happen. these are remarks that tucker carlson gave about the potential for donald trump to be in danger of this kind of thing. this is what he said or are they going to let trump be president? of course me look if you know they protested him. they called the needs he won anyway, the impeached him twice on ridiculous pretences, they think fabricated a lot about what happened on january 6th in order to impeach him and get it didn't work. he came back then the indicted him. it didn't work. he became more popular.
12:10 am
let me encourage him 3 more times and every single time his popularity rose to begin with criticism, then you go to protest and you go to one piece right now you go to indictment and none of the more what's next. let me let you know graphic oh 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. now those remarks from tucker carlson warranted quite a negative response from us, mainstream media, nbc, and others called him out called him inflammatory conspiratorial. they should probably revisit their response in light of today's events. now, there has been an outpouring of support and sympathy for the us, former president and presidential candidate in light of today's advance. a number of world leaders have made a point of calling out the president of the united states, former president, donald trump, expressing sympathy and support for him. here's some of the international greetings
12:11 am
uh and well wishes donald trump has received. we must stand firm against any form of violence that challenges democracy. i pray for former president trump speedy recovery. there was no place for violence in the democratic process. i am relieved to hear reports. the former president, trump, is now safe for my support and solidarity to president and candidate donald trump, victim of a cowardly assassination attempt, but put his life and the lives of hundreds of others at risk. now even world leaders who were not friendly with donald trump when he was the president of the united states have expressed sympathy for him under these circumstances. nicholas mate duro venezuela and the leaders of cuba have offered no sympathy to donald trump and public statements in the aftermath of today's events. now at this point, we're going to have to look on how this will be remembered in american history.
12:12 am
certainly that image of donald trump holding up his fist the bloody you're telling us supporters to fight fight, fight that is going to be i conic. and that is going to go down in the history as a key moments in american politics. and it's also worth noting that donald trump supporters, many of them view him as being at war or in opposition to something they referred to as the deep state. donald trump has that he wants to drain the swamp, and many of his supporters view the f. b, i the intelligence agencies as working against the president working against donald trump when he was in office. and there is no doubt that regardless of what information surfaces about today's events, there will be a lot of speculation. the killing of john f. kennedy that took place years ago is still the subject of all kinds of controversy and speculation. the attempted assassination of ronald reagan in 1981. i still remains the center of a lot of questions and today's advance will remain in question why was the
12:13 am
shooter able to get this closed? did the secret service do their job adequately? what actually went on? who was the shooter? what were his real motives? people are going to be asking these questions for years. this is a day that will go down in american history as iconic. and in light of all of this, it's important to highlight that there have been big divisions in the western world . there has been a rise of not just attempted assassinations like we saw with fits go the former prime minister of slovak, the uh, but also uh with the uh, you know, with the, the rioting that we saw uh the, the capital riot. on january 6, the black lives matter rioting that took place in 2020, in the aftermath of the killing of george floyd, the charlottesville and flashes that took place. there has been a rise in instability and political violence around the western world. and today's advance are certainly going to fit into an overall understanding of how there seem
12:14 am
to be very entrenched divisions, not just in the united states, but in many western countries between the new rights and the political establishment. uh, the new right that is critical of, of some of the power structure and some of the direction the western world is going in and, and their opponents. there are big divisions and u. s. society, today's events can't be separated from that. okay, let me ask many questions, remain that i'm sure of the next 3 days as those investigation, as a carrier, that we may start to get a clear pitch as to who the shooter was, at least in the motivations behind that. but for the moment, that's all these corresponding kind of open for us in new york. well, we discussed weak security issues surrounding the assassination attempt with full month's c. i analyst, laurie jones, and, and full my intelligence officer, a host of the whistle blows, joan, can i ask who the secret service agent, who is in charge of setting up security for that venue, failed to do their job?
12:15 am
whatever complicit in, allowing this assassination attempted to move to a car. there is no. there is no other choice. and let me explain when you go out and do the pre sites serve as a secret service agent. you go around, you put somebody at the podium where donald trump is going to stand, and then you move around both inside the venue and then the outside the venue. just find out where are the potential lines of fire. once you identify those potential lines of fire, you are then suppose to pose 6 are security per se. so now there was counter snipers. they didn't do that. and in fact, there are reports, credible reports from bystanders, that they weren't police, that they saw this guy climbing up on the roof, and no one did anything. so the secret service agents that were inside the venue, they did their job. they moved immediately once the shot started uh to protect
12:16 am
donald trump, but the overall officer in charge and i don't know who that is, but they failed in their job and that's either incompetence or they were complicit in a plot to have donald trump killed. there is no, no other way to look at, john, i saw, you know, doing your head said, do you agree with laurie's just said about failure from the security services or complexity as i yeah, i do. i agree with with larry, i just said this has to be one of the most bumbling in competent events in recent history as it concerns the secret service really is exactly right. it's not just the venue itself where the secret service goes, hours in some cases, days in advance to make sure that there are no open lines of lines of the site or available lines of sight renewal from eye witnesses. now that this person,
12:17 am
while he was just outside the, the actual security zone, had a perfectly clear line of sight from the roof of a building to the president. and so, having been rewarded by other bystanders, for as long as 2 or 3 minutes, there was a man on the roof with a rifle. the secret service did nothing about it until shots were fired. di i prayed, that this was not complicity. we don't know because investigations just getting started, but at the very least, this was just disastrous incompetence. laurie, we've heard from donald trump, he's posted on his truth social media account. he's trying to oversee the security services that were with him. those guys who could come to me immediately after we heard those shots being fired. i'm lots of people saying people around the world will be delighted that donald trump came through this relatively unscathed use. do
12:18 am
think so, but this will impose in him is a can vision. how will it involved in him? oh, no, absolutely. i mean he's going to, he's going to be seen as, as a hebrew, not a coward. the fact that he stood back up as soon as he got up with blood streaming on his face. he raised his hand and yelled, bite! fight! in the crowd of the crowd reacted to that. he jumped as part of a pretty select club. now he joins the present and feed, so that's the walk you as a politician who's been uh they attempted to kill and missed the only reason donald trump's a live tonight is that he literally seconds before the shot came in, he turned his head 90 degrees roughly to the right and that movement, literally through the shut off, plus the person who shooting that looks now like they were using an, a, an auto like, uh, you know, and they are platform and m for something like that,
12:19 am
which shoots around that is a $2.00 to $3.00 or 556, that's a very unstable at that distance. so a lot of things can go wrong because the, the bullet itself, once it's fired from the gun, is going to move in an arc. now you've got wind. that's going to affect the movement. the heat affects the movement and when the person is trying to do rapid fire. i mean i, i say that is because i'm a firearms instructor. i train rifle instructors, are touring coastal instructors and take anybody out to a range of a 100 yards and say fire all 34 shots, quick. a lot of the shots that we heard going off were all by this assassin. they were the counter sniper fire going after the assassin. once i think he got off maybe 3 tops, 4 rounds tops before they started shooting and took him down. yeah, obviously very close che you for the full my prizes and but let's don't forget that
12:20 am
one individual has lost their life and they're all see whether it's still critically injured. don't i just wanna ask you about sort of his sense of political violence. laurie was talking about thought hey, we heard joe job, i didn't coming out to the podium. i was off to the incident and making a very brief short statement saying that political violence wasnt acceptable. he refused to call this an assassination a bite and himself just sent a phone call. couple of days ago, this being, warranty reported said it was time to put trump in a bullseye. now, you couldn't interpret that in a lot of different ways, but when you talk about putting somebody in a bull's eye you, you're essentially making them a target. so is joe finds in himself also guilty of inciting political violets of perhaps, inadvertently. uh, yeah. so he didn't mean a literal bull's eye, but this kind of thing has happened in the past that happened with the, the republican vice presidential nominee cert payment back in 2008,
12:21 am
where she released the campaign advertisement that had i forget who it was. brock obama, perhaps in a bull's eye. it's, it's for, for me it's, it's a stupid thing to do. it just like it was a stupid thing to do for, for joe, but not to say, well, this certainly seems like an assassination attempt. so there's no loss to him to, to just stay the obvious. like that's to say to say, well, we don't have the facts yet, that's fine. we don't really know what's going on yet, but it sure seems to be like an assassination attempt. is what he should have said . yeah, lori is not the 1st time i'm we. we've had a from one of biden's mega donors. this is a read hoffman. he just saying 2 days ago, but he wished that he made a trump an actual ma to, i mean, given now what's happened in the last few hours. is it acceptable that we hearing comments like that from how full people? yeah, it was going to turn on, i'm just going to rip them apart, frankly,
12:22 am
because what's gonna happen now this week? m s n b c and cnn 2 of us uh, the cable channels in the united states that have gone out of their way to avoid covering anything that donald trump does are now going to have to cover. and because of the assassination attempt, there's no way that they won't be able to cover when donald trump deliver to speech . that the republican convention next week. you think they're going to be a few viewers. i, i predict. you'll probably have more people watching that speech at that convention . then we're watching the tucker carlson interview with lot him or prove which was a, you know, several 100000000, you know, over a 100000000 easy. so that's going to be a big draw. you can also expect trump, he's going to move out and he'll be going to the funeral of that support or who. ready is killed by this cuz when those bullets were fired, they must trump, but they hit people down range. and uh, so trump will be going to their funeral. i would expect to see trump's going to be making a significant financial contribution to that family. well, you know,
12:23 am
along the lines of what they do when the soldiers are wounded and they buy a new house or something like that. so, yeah, i mean, they've got to milk this for everything. it's worth. and it's gonna, the, all the democrats are going to look in at a minimum of their go look, you know, cheap, and todd dri, worse, they'll look like a people who are encouraging murder a. yeah, it's interesting and obviously to mentioning in his statement setting, he's condolences to not just the family of the individual who is killed, but also to those who look critically wounded in the assassination attempt at john, i just want to talk to a bit more about political violence, so because the we've had this attempt on donald trump slice, but in the last few months we've seen of the political assassination attempts, we had well but feet. so the prime minister of slovak, who naturally i think he was shot to 3 or 5 times, some of the bullets winning him in his chest and he is on, i mean,
12:24 am
he was really very lucky to, to come on to back to life. we also had an ac politician in germany who was stopped in the back. there was violence against the national raleigh candidates in fonts in their elections over the last few weeks. is that something that is linking this kind of political violence that we really see targeted me towards right wing politicians there very well could be, you know, i've been in washington for 42 years and i tell people with some regularity that it's not the same place that it was 42 years ago or even 32 years ago. it's become very angry and very mean spirited very divided and it's not just washington as huge as correctly pointed out. we're seeing it everywhere. we're seeing it in france and germany and, and all over the place, usually targeting right wing politicians. i think that people, for whatever reason,
12:25 am
feel emboldens now to take physical action against people that they don't like politicians that they don't like in my past career at the see i and i'm sure larry is at the same experience. i've served in countries where, where disputes were settled with a bullet. and it's, it's never right never under any circumstances how we've allowed ourselves to get to this point is a mystery to me, but we have to work hard and work immediately. to turn this around, we can't keep going forward like this. you're watching all teens and actual. let's take a recap now of the latest following by the time that was made on for my president, donald trump's life that took place at a political raleigh in pennsylvania where he narrowly escapes a shooter. 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 to said, take
12:26 am
a look. what happens of the attempt is only about 2 minutes into his speech. good boy, he was stopped in his tracks. then as the shots rang out and he was hit, the secret service rushed and surrounded him. cocooning the former president, but his trunk recovered and stood up. he told his details to wait and he raised his fist in defiance in the pumping it and shouting to the crowd, fight fight fights. who had just witness that shocking event blood from the shot? the piece is a, was seen on the right side of his face and also smid across his max. now, the u. s. secret service says the full president is now safe. he's also being released from the hospital. the next 40 so that we're about to show you is a bit farther away and this is what spec tases start to realize. what has
12:27 am
just happened of the. c the, i don't know, we heard the under the game starts to run but one spec takes a was killed in 2 others, a critically injured by the multiple arrow bronze. the secret service says the shots fired were foam and elevated position. i signed up for electrical riley, the streets. it was then the cases and killed by law enforcement. and i witnesses have should be movement was just, you know, take a look at that. i'm throwing in, somebody just started to boost the
12:28 am
so popping sounds or a loud noise is over the 1st 2 hours post shooting many in the west. the main stream aided didn't want to mention the fact that trump was shot in that headline see, need diminishing the severity of this attempted assassination. now, despite stop being officially confirmed at the time cnn, the main stream media in the states led with the headline that suggested the former president had full and, and had to be helped up by the secret service. just let those narratives. i'm the important stuff in thinking for a moment. what we've been hearing from to a less manila, china, and the host of direct impact. rick sanchez, now they say america is facing a dangerous level of violence. as
12:29 am
a nation is divided. 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 cut off 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 a united states president has a specific bedtime. it's always been the understanding that the united states present post works 247. and that, that's why people age, you know, big. we joke here in the us that, that presidents and age in 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 president biden looking continually
12:30 am
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 the intra 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 not long ago, i think it's july 8th is. c phone calls a bite in may just being widely reported and which he is apparently supposed to have said it's truck time to put a trump in a bullseye. is that no instigating political violence himself fell?
12:31 am
you know, and.
