7:05 pm
a dark turn in america. and we can get more on this developing story from our reporters. different simons in washington, dc. steph and trump has called for unity and resilience off to the suiting. tell us how do you into a particular reaction to this attack this well, i think it reflects what the, everybody, just call the phone, whatever, but he's feeling it. and this is some, still some disbelief and shock of where we are in america at the moment where we are in this presidential election campaign and where we are as a country where this country is. you see it is a polarized and we know that, and we've talked about this a 1000 times, but of course, this is the united states which is used to end the lives in the age of political violence. it is of course, on a different level. now, since there was an assassination attempt on a former president, the last one was at the eighty's on president ronald reagan, if you remember. um,
7:06 pm
so that has up the n t a little bit, of course. and even if somebody or anybody thought it wasn't possible, it is possible now all across the island from all corners of the political spectrum, our calls for com and courts. and that means that everybody inclusive, including the former president, his wife, his daughter of politicians on the route from the g, o. p, the republican party, the democratic party, even the president. of course, president bible call for com and the appeal to the american public to dial down and to politicians, to their surrogates to in the campaign, to dial down the language decisive language. and to, to let the political discourse happen. but without the animosity, without the, the, the, the, the will to make your political opponent an outright enemy. i think that's what number one priority is for anybody for the former president and for the president
7:07 pm
of the united states and for everybody else involved or sitting on the sidelines watching what's happened yesterday and what's happening now. yes, defend you just said that a little bit earlier, there's a lot of scrutiny and focus on how something like this could have happened. talk to us if you could about the security fold out from this as well. uh, there will be a massive security fall off from this number one. there will be, of course, i would assume a ex pension of the, of the exclusion zone. that is the security perimeter. it is until now really unknown why this building, which was not that far from the can, the rally area was not included in this exclusion zone, in this security perimeter. and how it could happen that a gunman or a person with a gun with a long run. by the way, the latest to use that was an a r 15 style rifle which was registered to the
7:08 pm
father of the shooter. and that's how they found out who that person is and how is it possible that the secret service missed the act? so there will be an investigation. this investigation is led by the f b i. but there's many, many law enforcement agencies involved in this investigation. and the specific in the very peculiar part issue that of course, now the secret service is part it or subject and object of this investigation from the f b i because there needs to be answers delivered on how to prevents something like this in the future. and how this could happen. yeah, stephan, it's still very early days. but tell us how do you think this assassination attempt could impact the upcoming presidential election? i. i don't think it's good. it's already has. i think um in 2 ways it has changed everything. the context of this, or the reality of campaigning in 2024 for the presidency
7:09 pm
this year has completely changed. the democratic party has to change its attitude. it's the way they handle the g o. p, the republican and donald trump and how they at tech, donald trump, how they hold him and to the, to the fire in what he says, what is political agenda is and his proposals are, this will change the republicans and change the narrative already and you will see this in milwaukee in the next few days at the, at the republican and it convention there where he will be crowned the candidate for the presidency, for the republicans, for the, the g o. p. he will portray himself of the republicans will portray him as is so well, almost like a super hero, almost strong, decisive, and almost invincible, versus a bite and a democratic party, a president of the united states who appears as weak and wary. that is the strategy
7:10 pm
. this will be the strategy even now promoted from the republican party and the democrats have to figure out how to respond to this is not going to be easy, but it will change everything. still these different simons in washington, dc. the different thanks a lot for your inside. stay with us president job. i didn't, has condemned the shooting at trump's campaign rally. there's no place in america this kind of while it's 6, it's 6. it's one of the reason why we have to night this country cannot allow for this to be happening. we cannot be like this. we cannot condone this. the bottom line is the re, trump rally is a reality that he should have an intellect can be conducted peacefully without any problem with the idea, the idea that this political violence or violence in america like this is system part of it just not appropriate. everybody, everybody must keep getting. everybody will lead us to have condemned the attack
7:11 pm

7:12 pm
