to be a part of this incredible moment with the privilege of working with the miccosukee, that's just amazing. alright buddy. [music] jeff: it's all you. and that, my friends, is what it's all about. report. a presidential address to the nation. now reporting, david muir. >> good evening. we're coming back on the air

because president biden is about to address the nation from the oval office concerning the attempted assassination of former president donald trump expecting to call for unity and to call for americans to condemn political violence across the nation. the investigation into this horrific act is moving quickly, and of course, by now, the world has seen these images. donald trump taking the stage for his rally in butler, pennsylvania, last night. it was 8 1/2 minutes or so after walking on the stage, a gunman opening fire. trump's right here was hit. the president seen reaching for the ear. you can hear the screams in the video. secret service rushing the stage. tonight, law enforcement revealing new details about the alleged gunman, 20-year-old thomas crooks of bethel pack, pennsylvania. used an ar-style rifle owned by his father. a photograph by doug mills appearing to show the bullets close to trump's head.

his hand pulling away, blood clearly on his fingers. the secret service says the suspect was armed with that rifle that was legally purchased by his father. tonight, we want to listen to the president as he now addresses the nation about this political violence, this attempted assassination. let's listen to the president. >> fellow americans, i want to speak to you tonight about the need for us to lower the temperature in our politics. and to remember, while we may disagree, we're not enemies. we're neighbors. we're friends, coworkers, citizens, and most importantly, we're fellow americans. we must stand together. yesterday's shooting at donald trump's rally in pennsylvania calls on all of us to take a step back. take stock of where we are, how we go forward from here. thankfully, former trump is not seriously injured. i spoke with him last night. i'm grateful he's doing well, and jill and i keep him and his family in our prayers.

we also extend our deepest condolences of the victims. corey was a husband, a father, a volunteer firefighter, a hero. sheltering his family tromthose bullets. we should all hold his family and all those injured in our prayers. earlier today, i spoke about an ongoing investigation. we do not know the motive of the shooter yet. we don't know his opinions or affiliations. we don't know whether he had help or support. or if he communicated with anyone else. law enforcement professionals, as i speak, are investigating those questions. tonight, i want to speak to what we do know. a former president was shot. and american citizen killed while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. we cannot, we must not go down this road in america. we have traveled before throughout our history. violence has never been the answer. whether it's with members of congress and both parties being

targeted and shot or a violent mob attacking the capitol on january 6th, or brutal attack on the spouse of former speaker of the house nancy pelosi. information and intimidation on election officials, or the kidnapping plot against the sitting governor. or an attempted assassination on donald trump. there's no place in america for this kind of violence, for any violence ever. period. no exceptions. we can't allow this violence to be normalized. you know, the political record in this country has gotten very heated. it's time to cool it down. we all have responsibility to do that. yes, we have deeply felt strong disagreements. the stakes in this election are enormously high. i have said it many times. that the choice in this election -- we make in this election is going to shape the future of america and the world for decades to come. i believe that with all my soul. i know that millions of my

fellow americans believe it as well. and some have a different view as to the direction our country should take. disagreement is inevitable in american democracy. it's part of human natures. politics must never be a literal battlefield or god forbid a killing field. i believe it should be a peaceful debate to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the declaration of independence and our constitution. we stand for an america, not of extremism and fury but of decency and grace. all of us now face a time of testing as this election approaches. the higher the stakes the more fervent the passions become. this places an added burden on each of us to insure that no matter how strong our convictions we must never descend into violence. republican convention will start tomorrow. i have no doubt they'll criticize my record and offer their own vision for this country. i'll be traveling this week making the case for our record

and the vision, my vision of the country, our vision. i'll continue to speak out strongly for our democracy. stand up for our constitution, the rule of law, to call for action at the ballot box, no violence on our streets. that how democracies should work. we debate and disagree. we compare and contrast the character of the candidates. the records, the issues, the agenda, the vision for america. but in america, we resolve our differences at the ballot box. now, that's how we do it, at the ballot box, not with bullets. the power to change america should always rest in the hands of the people. not in the hands of would-be assassins. you know, the past for through competing visions of the campaign should be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence. you know, we're blessed to live in the greatest country on earth and i believe that with every soul, every power of my being. so tonight, i'm asking every

american to recommit to make america what -- think about it, what's made america so special? here in america, everyone is treated with dignity and respect. and hate must have no safe harbor. here in america, we need to get out of our silos where we only listen to whom we agree, where misinformation is rampant, where foreign actors fan the flames to shape the outcomes consistent with their interests, not ours. let's remember here in america, while unity is the most elusive of goals now, nothing is more important for us now. and standing together, we can do this. you know, in the beginning, our founders understood the power of passion so they created a democracy. it gave reason and balance a chance to prevail over brute force. that's the america we must be. american democracy, arguments are made in good faith.

american democracy, where the rule of law is respected. american democracy where deese ante, dignity, fair play aren't quaint notions but livingering breathing realities. we owe those who come before us, to those who gave their lives for this country, we owe that to ourselves. we owe it to our children and our grandchildren. look, let's never lose sight of who we are. let's remember we are the united states of america. there is nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together. god bless you all. may god protect our troops. >> president biden calling on unity from this country. let's bring in mary bruce, our chief white house correspondent. mary, we were told by this white house the president would ask for all americans to condemn political violence across this country, and that's what he did tonight. >> reporter: david, this was a heartfelt call for unity from the president, a strong

condemnation of political violence. the president there straight off the bat saying it is time to lower the temperature in our politics. urging the nation to come together. but the president also recognizing just how difficult that is to do in this incredibly divisive time in our country. the president saying this is a time of testing and the higher the stakes the greater the burden. and given what he himself has argued is at stake in this election, it's going to be difficult to do what the president is doing, but he's essentially issuing a challenge to all americans today. to take out their anger and frustration at the ballot box, not through violence. essentially arguing it is counter to what this country stands for, david. >> mary bruce at the white house, as the president addresses the nation after this attempted assassination on former president trump, calling for unity across our nation, saying we can have our political opinions. we should embrace people's opinions, but we must do so peacefully, calling on all of us to condemn political violence. i should note many of us here in
