the charges of mishandling top secret documents and its being whispered that surviving the assassination attempt and pleading heroically on tv screens the 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 heated time to cool down you know, what happened yesterday was a tragedy for this country disagreement as a level 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

a plus with us. or we may disagree. we are not and to be you still, you know, it was strong. and some people, you know, say, go america like less white politics most never be a little about god from good to. if you also, i'm today the kings of your representing home to spain, to a massive celebration in madrid. look and see what i did. and then what was achieved yesterday in historical terms is extraordinary and remarkable. and it deserves a rental applause from everyone. welcome to the day we begin in new york city of milwaukee, where the republican national conventions underway just 48 hours after the policy. so whitehouse that candidates, former president donald trump, survived an assassination attempt about shooting which has provided the secret

service with 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 posse set candidates to take on the democrats incumbents. job by him for the position of president over the coming days. they'll also approve the policies policy platform for the november connection . donald trump's acceptance speech was already going to be closely watched by the in the wake of the narrow, the escaping on the sausage bullets. he says he's throwing out the draft speed and weather instead, deliver a different message, calling for national unity. meanwhile, the investigation into how we're shoot that would have got so close, continues in a country that gun violence has become a fixture of life. these particular gunshots still act more loudly than usual. the moment the bullets stopped,

the conspiracy theories begun flying. the, you know, to fill it from us and they're going to do whatever they can to get rid of trump. and so this is a trice. and so we're here to learn whether or not that are going to happen. in a case of political unity, folks, 5 or presidents, joe biden cooled and americans to dial down the rhetoric. there's no place in america, this kind of violence for any violence ever period to exceptions. we can't allow this violence to be normalized 2 days after the shooting 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? cleaning of a picture of the shooters emerging,

but some information is conflicting. he was a member of a local gun club and a registered member of the republican party. but he also donated to democratic cause, as in the past of the police police of western he used to shoot to trump belongs to his father and was purchased the officials. both. i've found what they described as a suspicious device in the shoot. his vehicle is ready to be safe 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 i support that cool. 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 commitment to bring the

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 as cynthia miller address is a professor of the american university and director of that polarized nation antics dream is in research and innovation lab. she joins us from washington, dc, 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. did you make a connection between painted political rhetoric and the address action? or 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

media, i would hear, you know, see things like you report you so. ringback or, you know, basically indicating this is a deserved attack, and i think that's really dangerous and risky when you have the 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. and very simple, 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 us. yes, i think it's getting worse here and of course also overseas and mean we have seen attempted assassinations or political assassinations in germany,

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 junior are 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 then 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 vitamins. okay? so looking back over,

that's about recent history. i'm. are you saying that it was bad? it leveled off, and now it's worse. oh, has it always been? so the bottom bubbling, a 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, and 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,

really receiving death threats. and when you see that type of thing, plus you see the successful attempts of football fascination abroad, or plots that are broken up as you've had in germany as well. the well, the like, okay? so it gives me some very interesting articles squeezed based on last question. and so does, does the base assassination attempt to get it on a truck? does that mock a turning point? you expect things to get better? 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, a reckoning moment 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

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, 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 profession. 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 this on, on calling on their support is to tone down the rhetoric, the political polarization which culminated in sundays, attempted and scares me. unsubsidized attempted assassination of the former president is something the both sides have helped stroke. a bullet, graces the head of a u. s. presidential candidate and assassination attempt that is highlighted just how polarized this election has become. as november approaches,

both the democratic and republican campaigns of sorts to frame the upcoming vote. as an existential buttons campaign has used trumps custom, aggressive rhetoric to portray the former president as an authoritarian and a threats to us democracy calls. those will pull, oppose in vermin. it talks about the blood of america is 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. along side false narratives of

a stolen election in 2020 trumpets consistently one supporters that bite and will destroy the country. if re elected with 4 more years abiding the hordes of illegal aliens stampeding 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 pole 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,

both trump and president button called for america to re unite temperature. and you know, the sort of correction 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, it's well the trump campaign team wasted no time in the convent 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 the, just like play a favor us the status of from ohio used to be a photo critic of donald trump, even calling human atheists amongst other things. but he's now fully embrace the mca movement as has been criticized by his response to the trump shooting, posting on ex, just an hour later. that the central premise of the bite and campaign is a president. donald trump isn't on the 3rd tag and fascist 2 must be stopped. i

told costs about rest. rick, is that direct me to president from attempted assassination? well, the w as political team is at the milwaukee convention. here's our washington bureau chief in his poll. i'm the choice of j defense for vice president graduates. first of all, really interesting that to you now, and you don't remember now since the course of social this social media platform, it was kind of underwhelming someone expect adults on himself coming on stage. maybe this is peak, 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. he's very conservative. when he comes to boston wides, he's one of the strongest opponents, for example, for ukraine age. and of course, he's one who was very critical of a strong peed,

said he didn't devote 5 in 2016, even a call to him a monster and said that use america simpler. but no, i being off of his job, he obviously changed his mind. and that's innocent pulse now dumped a drug the last page that the associate professor of political science with 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 the 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

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. you know, if he were, you know, in a position to certify or not certify the results of 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 rides 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. as 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. 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 instance conversion is 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 from doesn't it isn't a victorious and he will be that in full, full, 5 years time of that's what the republican party will look like. um, i mean, i think that i think he would have incredible case to,

to be made that he is the future of the republican party. i mean, we're looking at somebody who's in 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, he's not president, 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

a few centimeters or millimeters is something that is certainly concerning for our security apparatus. and it also does speak to the tenor in the text and 3 of our pilots. it's today that somebody would, you know, feel in bold and to try to attack donald trump. now we must be clear about the fact that we're still trying to figure out what the motive 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 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 and once political affiliation is something that's disturbing, people should be able to go to political rallies and peace and support their candidates and peace without worrying about getting shot at whether it's a candidate themselves or the people who were you know, in the crowd, unfortunately were side and then once the skills, except that this is not, you know, political violence in the united states seems to have been a bubbling

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 president 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 recognize that donald trump has more protection than most political candidates than your school board candidates, or even your congressional incentive and 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

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 those speakers have altered their speech to account for the assassination attempts, 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 main 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

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 going to have to pay attention and we don't know the answer to that question. yeah, that's fascinating. i'm not assessing. we thank you for political science just dumped it under the last week from emory university. thank you so much. thank you. well also today donald trump receive some good news. i had of the republican convention to 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 threw the case out saying the lead prosecute has been appointed unlawfully i didn't have the all sorry 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 statements on his truth social platform, he called on the judges to dismiss all the pending legal challenges against him,

which he described as a witch hunts. before we go, newly crowned european football champions of spain arrived back home today to a hero's welcome from ecstatic and grateful nation. after being congratulated by the spanish king, i'm the prime minister. huge crowd stood out in madrid to celebrate between the trophy, separated through the city and the open till this sunday nights to one victory of england gave spain a full human being the title and see men to best place in the history books as a confidence most prolific your wheels, the dw is the whole braces in the trades and sends us these updates on tonight's welcome home street kazi, thousands are celebrating the spanish staying here tonight, the the

really the c panel squared now and it all went down in the past few years. without penalties, 15 goals that that stroke. so the most successful male football team that europe has had so far generations that i've never seen spend when are you or come all the young people or people from oh yeah, yeah. and the body is going to the family. nobody's freaking out about that right now. that old region about their team, they're very happy as we can do. international desks from all sides. and this team as a freshman, energetic, that technique is being explained as very straightforward on the field. we saw that in that last game, when they were playing on the,

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 training of the train out 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. i tell you much social media at cdw. here's latest. the headline supports available around this walk on d, w dot com, or on the dw moulton model, the same time, same place for now that from the entire tape. for good, the
