11:02 pm
result international coming to 9 from all studios here in moscow. it's just going to 6 am here. and 11 pm on the east coast of the usa with just a few hours ago, an attempt was made on the life of donald trump, to what we're going to solve cost with that breaking news from the us, the solid this night. but that attempted to take donald trump's life, while the former president naturally escapes. and you know, that's a little bit all that just that she likes a couple of months old. and if you want to really see something this said, take a look at what happened with roy the in the middle over riley, his speech was stopped in its tracks and he was instantly surrounded by his secret service detail blood from the show that pierced his a covers then the right side of his face, but from was defiant, holding up
11:03 pm
a fist pumping. it in the uh, before lightning security thoughts a sport him off the stage. the u. s. secret service says the full, the president is now safe and he has left hospital off to being treated up. but one spec tape it was killed into others work for sickly, injured. the shooter was also located and then killed by new enforcement. here's how one witness describes what happened. a more like what we heard. all it's rattling around the grandstand, one hit this speaker tower. around the 1st laughter heard the shots got fired, then the hydraulic line was spraying all around the drawing. soon coming out of it and then another shot you knew something was i mean it wasn't the fact, right, because i mean, they weren't, they weren't super loud shot. they were,
11:04 pm
they were here. so as it's an additional lamp and, 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 his story has been developing now for the last few hours. so let's cross live to all correspondent in new york ortiz caleb open. caleb, just could you just bring this up to date with what we know about the shooting this attempted assassination as well. one individual is dead who is an apparent shooter
11:05 pm
according to the secret service. in addition to that, there is also a spectator, someone in the audience who has been killed as a result of today's events. now donald trump is released from the hospital. we understand he was injured in his ear the bullet, the bullet hit his ear. um, but it did not. i did not hit him fully in the head as it could have. uh it was uh, very much a very near miss situation according to the information that has just been released . uh and the former us president and print front runner in the presidential race has been released from the hospital. he released this statement on truth social, the social media outlet that he owns. i want to thank the united states secret service and all of 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
11:06 pm
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 known at this time about the shooter who is now dead. i was shot with the bullet pierced 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 we heard a brief statement from the rest of the nation from us present. joe biden, many listened to what joe biden had to say, and many were surprised when joe biden gave brief remarks condemning political violence and stopped short calling this an assassination attempt. this is the president of the united states who is running for re election against donald trump . the vote is set to take place on november. here's what he said. so everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody,
11:07 pm
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 a federal agencies that are being put together again to give me an updated pre features. and i, they happen. they learn any more in the last couple hours. so that was the response of us president joe biden, and many of noted in odd town from some of the us media you know, cnn, having headlines about donald trump falling about donald trump being injured headlines, the don't exactly to capture what just took place there have been members of congress, a o. c a the congress woman from new york who is notoriously critical of donald
11:08 pm
trump and, and liberal uh, she referred to today's events as an incident. and there's a lot of very, very mild language being used from the political establishment of the united states and for mainstream u. s. media to describe a pretty serious occurrence. this was pretty clearly the attempt on the life of the former us president and presidential front runner. util terabyte. some of the reaction. caleb, can you give us more about what we've heard from across the political spectrum in the us to what happened to donald trump, to sure, well you've got the interesting remarks of tucker carlson now. tucker carlson was the top tv news housed in the united states, appearing on fox news before his show was taken away. he had the top ratings. the top views of any news commentator in the united states has remained very popular on social media. afterwards interviewing the russian president among others and
11:09 pm
a year ago, this is what tucker carlson said about donald trump and dangers facing him. 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, they impeached him twice on ridiculous pretences. they think fabricated a lot about what happened on january 6th in order to impeach him to get it didn't work. he came back, then they indicted him. it didn't work, he became more popular than the executive 3 more times. and every single time his popularity rose to begin with criticism, then you go to protests, then you go to a piece, but now you go to one diamond and now the more what's next. let me let you know grass is out, 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 for made by tucker carlson
11:10 pm
roughly a year ago. and they warranted a very critical response. mainstream media accused him of spreading conspiracy theories of inflaming divisions with those comments. they may want to revisit their criticisms out him in light of today's advance. now it's important to note that there has been a way of sympathy from around the world for us. president trump, many leaders around the world have stepped up and made clear that they stand with donald trump against what they see is an act of political violence or an assassination attempt to use some of what's been said internationally. my thoughts and prayers are with president donald trump in these dark hours. my wife sarah, and i were shocked by the apparent attack on president trump. we pray for his safety and speedy recovery. i follow with that prevention, the updates from pennsylvania, where donald trump was shot during
11:11 pm
a rally to him. my sympathy and best wishes for a speedy recovery with the hope that the coming months of campaigning will see dialogue and responsibility prevail over hatred and violence. now this fits in with a trend of increasing political violence in the western world and around the world . the people recall the recent attack on the prime minister of slovakia fits go uh people are also recalling the assassination of japanese former prime ministers. and so all day there's been a wave of on rast and political division in the united states. and in the western world, in general. uh and people are seeing this in that context. uh, ilan mosque, the firebrand ceo as talked about the attempts to assassinate him that have taken place recently. and you know, one can look at the wave of political assassinations of the nato backed government
11:12 pm
and kyo has engaged in or attempted over the past several years. so there is a trend of rising political violence in the western world and in western align country is no doubt about it. now, what is also important to note, and you know, certainly cannot be ignored, is that donald trump and his supporters very much see him as an opponent of what they term the deep state. donald trump speaks of draining the swamp, his supporters talk of the kind of on elected layer of the us government and the intelligence services and the, the, i, et cetera. they say donald trump is working against them and they view the prosecution of donald trump. uh, the distrust for him and negative coverage of him in mainstream media. they view that as part of an effort by this deep states to move against them. so there was no doubt that many of from supporters of made see what happened today is coming from the deep state. they are asking questions about why the secret service did not
11:13 pm
offer better protection. how it was able to get this close to his life being taken . now, there's a lot of speculation about the death of john f. kennedy, the us president. there's a lot of speculation about what happened to ronald reagan, the town, to this as a nation and 1981. so there is no doubt that even as fact surface and we find out more details about the alleged perpetrator. uh, there will be people continuing to ask questions. now we know how it is approved or film of what happened to us present. john f. kennedy went down in history and there was no doubt that the images of today will be iconic. they will go down in american history, that image of donald trump holding, holding his you're the, the bloody year of the president, the president holding up his fist saying, fight, fight, fight to his supporters. that's going to go down in history as an iconic moment. so this is quite a moments, but donald trump is alive and released from the hospital. the perpetrator,
11:14 pm
where the alleged perpetrator is, is dad was killed. a spectator is also been killed. it was quite a day in butler, pennsylvania, at what many bought would just be a routine presidential rally. taylor for thanks very much for bringing this up to date on all of that. that's all of these correspondent caliber open. well, let's get more on this now. and cost live to international attorney kline preston. thanks very much for joining us on the all to you. i just want to pick up on something that i'll correspondent caleb was talking about the this food to go off now of this image of drum pumping his fist and telling people to fight in the crowd shouting us a is not going to be a defining photo not just of this campaign, but possibly of this entire generation. oh, absolutely. i've received that the same photographs from probably 25 different
11:15 pm
people already on my cellphone today. um, the 1st thing you said it was one of my sons, and that was minutes after this occurred. i mean, it was already on the internet. i don't know who the photographer was, but uh they, they're gonna be this. whoever took the photographs, names going to be known, just like the in the, in the video footage of the assassination of president kennedy was a previous this is an icon fiction. the backdrop of the american flag present true home is, you know, you're homeless and blood on his face. i mean, you could have stacy, but it's interesting because obviously you have a lot of people now spreading that photo. like you said, you received it dozens and dozens of times already. there are also those who go on social media and say, you know this, donald trump pages, this is it. now this means he's essentially being crowned for this selection is
11:16 pm
almost new pointing going to the poles. do you think this will galvanized is support is to take him absolutely. clearly back to the white task. well, i can say that it will galvanized his orders and it will certainly energize his orders. um whether he can ultimately when that's gonna depend on the integrity of the lex. and um, you know, i was one of the people when i still say that he won the last so, you know, it's gonna depend on the integrity of the election and how well it's conduct. be perfectly candid. let's talk about the security at the raleigh in pennsylvania. we know obviously within seconds of those shots being fired the detail around the form of precedent. what it, you know, a putting him into cartoon guessing him down on the ground doing exactly what they
11:17 pm
should do, but that has been criticism of the security prior to the event. and also it's being reported now that an individual actually, and looked at the security services to on a night done to $59.00 on top of a roof that apparently was and then check. now we don't know that that was the shooter, but clearly there was some questions about the security when we arrived this defense, you think? well the security service, the detailed page is defendable. in part yes ma'am. park know the fact that a shooter got within range for president trump was able to take fire off like 4 shots is what are on the video at all is the and there's no way that should've occurred the way the now the reaction to the secret service those brave agents lose both my own thing, my own junk in front of a phone present,
11:18 pm
translate into the ground and you know, went into their defensive mode. was ro can a great job, but the fact that you know, the shots reason fired from the a rooftop. it appears nice with the ports 10 say now from a personal rooftop nearby. that's a total food. and the head of the secret service, kim chito, who's not 20 by present bottom report. so i don't know they're going to be lot of questions that the trump campaign has been asking for additional security for some time and that they've been denied that additional security. it could have been this, an issue might have resources or, well, i there all, but keep in mind, also the presidential candidate, robert kennedy's been denied, secret service directions at all as it can both be is father and his uncle were
11:19 pm
satisfied. this present was a presidential camp, and robert kennedy has no secret service protection the expense of the matter. we have present truck clues ask for additional or is campaigns asked for additional protection because of the threats and allegedly been denied. i don't have 1st hand knowledge that i've just read in our reports. and so i think i heard it stated by us calling from the james toma from kentucky just a few minutes ago where i believe he's gonna initiate an investigation in congress on monday. which leads to, i mean, how can we have a of the same source, denied protection from man to such as present, try to, you know, have to capture extra cure for so polarized. and so this is
11:20 pm
a huge but although the offers who engaged and eliminated the sooner and the ones that you know, reacted were, were broke into their job bit. it's all in all. i mean, you know, we can see how close this could have been to a fatal shooting in regards to donald trump's life. obviously we know that one wouldn't spend, but we'll show that and to others are critically injured. if it hadn't been for the fact that donald trump just moved his head just a millisecond before the 1st shots came out, we could be talking about a very different story right now. what impact would that have had, or how would the of less the republican base given that we still don't know who trump c p is going to be? you know, that is a great question. i, i think the way we left this country is in a very precarious situation because we're buried by that and to have
11:21 pm
a presidential candidate such as president trump, who has such as for to be assassinated would result in um i believe it would result in bloodshed and you know, someone rationally so sure said do you have lots for and he has a lot of people that are trying to keep him from why they've been bad as the mean for different cases and you know, they and pacing twice on nothing. and so they've tried everything, i'm not strong this, to be perfectly candid, i'm really surprised that this is the 1st real attempt on his life. and i will be ferguson probably the last uh uh uh, i think that this, this, you know, can very well be just the beginning. well, hopefully he will be guessing that additional security uh that his team have been asking for klein. preston, international attorney,
11:22 pm
thanks very much. for your thoughts in joining us here on the international. thank you. well, a recap of the latest, so not a time. don't donald trump's life that has taken place in pennsylvania while he was at a political riley. he of course, narrowly escaped that take a look what happened the which i'm speech was stopped in its tracks just about a minute to all. so he started to speak. that was as those shots rang out and he was hit secret service agents rushed to the stage and surrounded him. but his comfort recovered and stood up. he told his details to wait. he raised his fist in defiance, shouting, point, fight, point to the crowd that it just witnessed that shopping event blood from the shots
11:23 pm
still. the piece is a was seen on the right side of his face. me to call uh parts his mass, and the u. s. secret service say that the former president is now safe. we know that he was seen too in hospital and is being released from hospital. but one spec, tate that was killed and 2 others was critically injured by the shots, by most secret service say was shots from fired from an elevated physician outside of the raleigh. the shoot. it was located and then killed by law enforcement agents. an eye witness cap should the moment that happened. take a look at this, the drawing and some of the distorted students the
11:24 pm
well, let's keep the discussion going now and speak with independent us senate candidate them a. so thank you very much for joining us. hey, on all the international. um, 1st of all, i just want to ask you, how would you think this assassination attempt is going to galvanize not just trump, but his support base and possibly a wide net ahead of november's election. i don't know. i probably people will be a bit more intense about their support for him a clearly the she is going to, i think shift as he did when he was elected in 2016 in terms of his understanding what it means to be president of the united states. or to be in the wings perhaps depending on what happens if the, if you know there is
11:25 pm
a fair election or the election proceeds as, as intended. i think this is a very, a sad day for the united states that such a thing should occur. thank god that it wasn't worse because had the assassin actually hit their mark head on so to speak. i think the results would be quite catastrophic. just interested to know what you think this will do in terms of the impact on political rallies going forward. now with just the increased security or will there be other measures in place? and i'm not sure i imagine trump will have increased security. i hope that people will take a step back and look beyond merely the electoral football like mentality. and consider where we are strategically because i don't think you can look at such
11:26 pm
a thing in a vacuum. we did just have the nato summit. we did just have an assassination attempt against the european president of feet show of slovakia, who was someone calling for coming, figuring out a way to end of this conflict with ukraine. and i know that president trump or a former president, trump, uh, presidential candidate, robert f. kennedy junior, myself and a 112 congressman or all, for example, on a list i put out by this group text, the ukrainian state department. i don't know how it's coordinated as being somehow skewing the russian propaganda. and i know with the recalls for violence against people who are advocating, coming up with an end to this and who don't go along with the narrative that ukraine is winning the war. yeah, and it's interesting you say that you mentioned robot feet so that there was the
11:27 pm
assassination attempt by somebody was like, per ukrainian just in the last couple of months. trump, of course, will 48 hours ago was meeting with hon. gary and prime minister in victor. open victor opens being during this course close around the globe, trying to find a solution to the queen or do you think that they could be some element related to that as to why there was this talk? it don't, don't know from who is said quite clearly. he would end the war in 24 hours. absolutely, i think what you can leave out of the picture is the desperation of the transatlantic system of the british liberal imperial model, which is collapsing and is in a sense and it's death, agony grasping at straws. and also clearly their efforts to undermine the institution of the presidency. for example, the concern about how biden performed at the recent debate into my mind does not
11:28 pm
merely indicate that he is not in the health or mental shape to be a president. for the next 4 years, but raises the urgent question. what about the presidency right now? we had the 75th anniversary of nato in washington dc. was this man truly fit to be involved in that process? he kept calling camelot harris, the vice president, trump. that is very problematic and i don't think any government worth its salt with tolerate for a moment that this is a person with these infirmities as the commander of chief. and that's also a commander in chief. i think that's very troubling. or you'll have nato lead is now be aware of what happened in pennsylvania. this attempt on donald trump slice. and the suggestion now, but this is it tease one the election before people of even going to vote. how concerned do you think they will be about the fact that it looks fairly clear at
11:29 pm
this point that donald trump is going to be in the white house in january next year . and what that could mean for the future of nato, and specifically to contribute quite well. i think they are extremely concerned about that. of course, in my mind, i don't think there's any guarantee what will be the policy of a new administration if it is donald trump. i think we see there are obviously many factors. it's clear that president biden is not really running the country. will we be able to clean out some of this permanent bureaucracy that's in there? and i will say something that i've said frequently, which is that since the people of the united states decided to go along with the warren commission cover up of what happened when president kennedy was assassinated . we haven't really been able to have a president who has been able to use the full power of the presidency, i think,
11:30 pm
and effect the assassination and the cover up. and the fact that we never got to the bottom of who actually did that has created a crippling effect on the presidential system of our republic. let's go back to the incident on how it was covered by a lot of media in the west. uh cnn. running a headline immediately off to the shots to find suggesting that donald from put full and as if he had made a gas. but we've seen like a job, i did that he had been helped upstage. there was no loud noises. heard nothing about the shooting. this was in the immediate aftermath of why do you think some weston media was so keen to not cool a spade a spade here? well, they're used to creating new.
