the shooting of ronald reagan by john hinckley who did it to impress jodie foster, the actress. mark david chapman if shot john lennon because he was a beatles fan, which makes no sense. i used to see this in the terrorism world. people who are leading slipping-down lives, didn't have a lot going on, didn't have a great sense of purpose or of themselves and who found even in death a meaning to their life. and so while the impulse to give this a political motive is obviously the most obvious, we're not seeing that so far. i'm not embedded in the investigation, but as of now i think his motives are really a mystery. and usually by now the internet has begun to scrub some of this out, and you're not seeing that. so it's a question mark. martha: indeed, it is. i'm thinking about some of the people that a you bring up, and in those cases, mark david chapman and john hinckley were around to talk about their motives and about what drove them. they, you know, essentially wanted to be somebody if just for a moment and to put themselves on the map, these loner characters. we'll never know

it may be that the shooter is no more political than john hinckley was, we don't know obviously, that'sies are still investigating but the reaction to it in the context in which it takes place is so much different. it's so political, it's such a parse moment. reagan was two months into his presidency, a honeymoon, people liked him and felt good about him at that time, obviously this drew an extreme amount of sympathy toward him and the country wasn't as sort of divided in the same way as it is today. today this takes place literally on the eve of a convention in which donald trump is going to be nominated, he is a divisive figure in america and history of politics. he's talk being perhaps being more unifying in this convention, that would be extraordinary to see because it goes against his instincts that we've seen over the last nine or ten years but it tells us something about our moment, right, where democrats and publicans see these things through such different lenses. republicans a lot of allies of the president including his son, campaign strategist and the man who may be his runn

on march 30 , 1981, failed musician john hinckley attempted to assassinate the fortieth president ofronald reagan. but not for political, but for love reasons, to impress the actress jodie foster, with whom i didn’t even know. politically motivated violence has been part of the culture, the public culture of the united states, well , not yet the united states, but a colony since the 17th century, that is, the colonists liked to practice, for example, quite limited, but nevertheless forms of violence. in relation to those whom they considered, but people who had exploded, that is, starting with the actual representatives of state power, who were then usually not killed, but for example, they could well, for example, burn down their house or drag along the street, for example, smeared with tar or covered in feathers, sometimes on the contrary, representatives of the authorities took part in such events in relation to, well, let’s say, some exploded merchants, for example, who sold something too expensive, that is, it was believed that... this collective political participation is part

for example, john hinckley jr. well, really had a problem the person in charge of protecting the lives of the current and former presidents is under intense scrutiny. we are currently faced with a series of answers, sorry, with a series of unanswered questions . they published a video as the assailant's words, while that person was a right-wing comedian whom i happened to follow on twitter, and he had used that space to come and pretend that zarbe was before the incident, that is, at this moment, me. more than anything , i recommend caution in the news coverage of this story now, according to the american election atmosphere , what effect do you think this could have on the republican party? at all, even biden ordered this terror for two parties. for the republican party, this is a golden opportunity now, whether he uses it correctly or not is a separate issue, but the important thing is that the main weakness and the most important weakness of trump is that he is known for radicalism and the incident of january 6.

call this the travel travis become effect if you remember the movie taxi driver that inspired john hinckley in his failed assassination attempt of president reagan. >> and really it just comes down to you when you shoot at a president or a presidential candidate that you will be famous forever. >> i mean, just thinking about the many people in the world who are battling mental health and depression don't engage in this type of behavior. and the way you describe it i mean, a 20-year-old male a seemingly good student, as you mentioned, unclear about what his political beliefs really are is there a profile that you think the fbi are investigators are trying to map out in an attempt to either understand what happened here or to find a copycat that are prevent this from happening again? >> well, we don't like the word copycats so much as it does inspire other people with like-minded fantasies of being famous. but the bottom line with this particular shooting is that you have to keep in mind he has no diagnosed mental illness, not like john hinckley who had had a lot of psychiatric treatment for

on march 30 , 1981, failed musician john hinckley made attempts on the life of the fortieth us presidentt not for political reasons, but because... is part of a normal social process, and this thread stretches all the way to the 20th century, then there have been, since the mid-20th century, especially since the sixties, a mass of... well , let’s say such grassroots organizations , paramilitary, including those who believed and believe that every citizen of the republic not only can, but is obliged to defend their freedoms and liberties with arms in their hands there their fellow citizens, their children from encroachments from outside, including the authorities, well, for example , there is such an organization, like such a dispersed group, which is called all skipers, that is, oath keepers, this is usually imagine... trump is disturbing many people and the incident involuntarily suggests the idea of ​​a conspiracy by a random psychopath; it’s hard to believe, but often everything is simpler. the authorities have already announced. that they did not chase people who have the right to be

john hinckley made an attempt on the life of the fortieth us president ronald reagan, but not for political reasons, in order to impress actress jodie foster, whom he did not even know. politically motivated violence was part of the culture, public culture the united states, well, not yet the united states, but colonies dating back to the 16th century, that is. the colonists liked to practice, for example, quite limited, but nevertheless forms of violence against those whom they considered, but exploded people, that is , starting with the actual representatives of state power, who were then usually not killed, but for example, they could well, for example, burn down their house or drag them along the street, for example, smeared with tar or covered in feathers, sometimes on the contrary, government officials participated in such events in relation to, well, let’s say, some exploding merchants, for example, who sold something too expensive, that is, it was believed that this collective political participation is part of a normal social process, and this thread stretches right up to the 20th

on march 30, 1981, a certain john hinckley shot ronald reagan in washington.president of the united states, regan, was saved. the bullet passed one and a half centimeters from the heart. on may 10 , 2005, during a speech by george w. bush , the forty-third president of the united states in tbilisi, on freedom square, towards him quit. party elephant symbol of the republican until recently, the difference between democrats and republicans was small, but now everything has changed, the divide in the states is widening at an alarming rate, what processes are now taking place in the western world and how to understand them? we have open borders and every year three to four million people come here illegally. they don't have your values, they don't know your language. you become a more diluted society, more like the tower of babel. you have less and less unity. this is a serious situation that the united states finds itself in. on the other hand, they say it is diversity, multiculturalism, but in reality it is just a tower of babel. yes, there has always been divis

, where lee harvey oswald hid, from there he shot at kennedy, they simply forgot to check, and john hinckleyident reagan. which separated the audience, none of the spectators prevented him from getting forward, you can’t calculate this either, so presidential candidate george wallace in 1972 climbed the rope, and then went down it and let the shooter get ready, olys was paralyzed for life, but not killed, you will agree that all this is also an accident, here we should dwell on the details, the fact is that the accidents in this story look extremely skillfully organized, so the young killer was in no hurry. the shooter pointed a rifle at him, it is known that one officer climbed onto the roof, the policeman retreated, why was this possible? the check, it should be noted, was promptly carried out, and the head of secret service kimberly tells reporters that , of course, the special services saw the garage, but as it turned out, it had a sloping roof; the agents were afraid to climb it, so as not to sprain their ankle. and do not damage the shin. an understandable concern for a knight without

if you look at john hinckley, who shot ronald reagan, he was trying to impress jodie foster, right?ds, often fixate on politicians, but it intersects with reality only at very strange angles, and it is not part of a left—right conspiracy. there are other people who are. the guy who shot at a bunch of congressional republicans, he was a bernie supporter who wanted to take political action. but i think we don't know, and i think that it is irresponsible. i think it was irresponsible when the media used to do this kind of speculation before we knew. i think it's irresponsible when politicians do it. what i do think is that even though there is rarely a direct line between something anyone has said, and i also think that you can't use this to shut down legitimate criticism and say, well, you criticise this person, and now someone has taken that to heart and gone and tried to hurt them. the responsibility lies with the person who's committing assault, not with the media or anyone else, including donald trump, who makes those sorts of statements. just to interrupt for a second. just to as

occurrence like this in recent us history was the uh, the shooting of us present, ronald reagan by john hinckley. uh. and he survived uh user by the shot. he went to the hospital and you survived uh, but that didn't take place on the state that took place as he was leaving a rally. but this is, this is certainly historic moment. never if we had a major presidential candidate and former former president of the united states shot on stage of the campaign, riley. now there's a lot of questions are being raised here. how is this possible with everyone in that area having to go through metal detectors, the secret service protection screening of the people that have to be very close to the former president? how was this able to take place? a lot of questions are being asked right now. um and i'm sure a lot of people are wondering what exactly is taking place. uh now uh, is this the active alone gunman, an individual who's just fired up by opposition to trump it his policies, or is there something bigger going on? now you can be sure those kinds of questions will be all over the media and all over soci

we have seen these type of things john hinckley and we have seen the cases, that they think it's oneng that he could be something completely different and some of the type of outcry any signs will here's an opportunity to prove this out here is why he shoots at the former president. >> were just speculating of this plan could be but you know to be hinckley good to be you know a number of different things and send them off on this that we just know, the paths another long because he so young and they should be able to kind of determined that you know qui quickly. >> and mark david chapman and for the dakota talk to john lennon. >> there's the other one is trying to think about. eric: he talked to him i was a great fan john lennon annual shot in front of the coda and how will we be able to find out about this and apparently right now, we do not know manifesto don't know of any you know long's clean online as you said he had no identity or no identification and you know talking to the friends and knowing the family going through search history on the website and the pi and authority sai

steve scalise shot at the congressional baseball game was politically motivated president reagan, john hinckley did it because he was trying to impress an actress and had no political motivation. we don't know what the cause is. >> said. is very unclear what the motive is here. this individual might have been approaching this in a way we don't understand because of the catastrophic mental health breakdown. we have to keep all of the different possibilities open and that is what law enforcement is doing right now. >> thank you very much. let's bring in clint watts, a former fbi special agent and a national security analyst. good morning. we will put you the question we've been asking all morning which is how on earth could this have happened? elevated position 150 yards from where the former president of the united states is speaking, when you look at that map, what do you see? >> is pretty remarkable looking at that space, it's not an extreme distance for somebody with a long rifle. when you're in an elevated position like that, it gives you an extreme advantage, we see that for many attacks ov

president reagan, john hinckley was trying to impress an actress. we don't know what the cause is here. >> perfectly said. someone said to me, it's very unclear what the motive is here. and we have to keep our minds open, this individual may have been approaching this in a way we don't understand because of a catastrophic mental health breakdown. and we have to think of all the possibilities. and that is what law enforcement is doing right now. >> thank you very much. >> let's bring in clint watts, a former fbi special agent, and nbc news national security analyst. clint, good morning to you. we will put to question to you, how on earth could this have happened. 150 yards from where the former president of the united states is thinking. when you look at that map what do you see? >> yeah, it's remarkable. just looking at that space. it is not an extreme distance for someone with a long gun, a rifle to shoot from that position. and when you're in an elevated position like that, it gives you extreme advantage. we have seen this from many plats, many at

so, first of all he said he prayed for john hinckley which was extraordinary and he said god spared him so that he could hear god's call better. it's an interesting thing to look for it. is it a moment of hearing god's call better or another way people respo is that god had ratified what that person was doing when he spared them. one is a ratification is much more different and less humble than saying i was spared so that i could hear god's call, it's a distinction we might see when he gives this speech and we have heard so much about the providential nature of his sparing, that's the kind of thing that when you think you have been spared by god, for what purpose have you been spared? that's what i am listening for this evening. >> norah: john dickerson, thank you very much, as they are playing a biographical video of donald trump. coming up, we will hear shortly a performance by kid rock, and a special new song that has been written. and then we will hear from dana white who is the president of the ultimate fighting championship, the ufc, major garrett, the stakes tonight for the forme

extreme mental health breakdown, or as we saw in the former shooting of president ronald reagan, john hinckley jr.'s head that he shot former president reagan to get the attention of a hollywood actress. so we just don't know. and without the social media, we can do our own research. we don't see any felonies, nothing as an adult. we even checked civil complaints to see if somebody is filed a lawsuit. maybe he's got an axe to grind against somebody who's harmed him. we don't see anything there either. that's what law enforcement is also uncovering. they are not seeing that level of detail. they do have one advantage of course that we don't have. they have the ability to access his home. they are conducting interviews and they have the ability to get subpoenas to get information from email accounts or potentially look at any sort of hard disk or journals found at the home. not getting a lot of detail about that. i don't know if that's because it's an ongoing effort and those things take time, or maybe they're fighting a couple of threads they are looking to pull on at this time as far as potent

. >> john: going back to this idea of motive that john hinckley shot ronald reagan, people said of themeagan? was it to impress jodie foster? who knows what was going on at this guy's mind. by become a thank you for joining us. we appreciated. >> sandra: of president donald trump to cap off rnc tonight and accept his party's nomination for the presidency. he will take the stage for the first time since the assassination attempt. boy, will that be a moment and we will anticipate that, what can we expect tonight? >> sandra, that is of a question and everyone is wondering what we will hear from donald trump because remember essentially he is tearing up his original speech and rewriting it as a result of that assassination attempt. what else can we expect tonight? there are some of the other speakers and look at this graphic, a late add and this was surprising to everybody, hulk hogan a famous wrestler, dana white the ufc president, former secretary of state mike pompeo and eric trump speaking. take a live look inside the form right here, this is the calm before the storm here they have bee

presidential candidate there's a long history of that in our country lee harvey alber, sirhan, john hinckleyrising this day and age with the technology that we have in the security protocols that we have somebody could get close enough to do it. >> absolutely waited a full investigation of how he got close enough for their now reports we have heard from other media outlets may be local law enforcement had seen a shooter we need to know how he was able to get so close to donald trump. and look i think president biden at donald trump have both said the right things in the last 24 hours about unity, about taking down the temperature. one of the key questions heading into this week is whether it will stay focused on getting more information or whether the political rhetoric will ratchet back up i hope it does and as you said there's a lot of questions still unanswered today bigots hold for just a minute will come back to both of you. right now let's go to the secret service briefing. >> national service special security especially as they relate to the republican national convention a in the dem

shots ring out and john hinckley is all of about 15 feet from the president. so he has the ability to kill him. what is wonderful about this episode if you can say anything is wonderful about something. so traumatic. gunfire on a dc street aimed at a president is that everybody on the president's detail immediately reacts? instantly with their root and eyes training that they didn't have when kennedy was shot. the routinized training is called attack on the principal and they drilled in this day in day out attack on the principal is i hear something. i see something it sounds like a bad psa and this is my job when that happens. the gunfire goes off. hinckley is able to get off six shots in. less than two seconds not all of them very well aimed but still. jerry parr hears. it doesn't look up doesn't turn to his right. does it turn to his left? he just starts shoving the president towards the open black door of the limousine and they are three yards away from it. so it's not easy to shove ronald reagan that far but that's what he does and he almost according to

come to our attention and in the case of the assailant, to me, as i overlay him over top of, say, john hinckley, i see an individual, based on information that i have now, some of the great work that the fbi has done, we have an individual who is a loner, an individual who was focused on donald trump and joe biden. hinckley traveled the campaign and we know that he followed president carter. on march of '81, he happened to show up in washington, d.c. and he saw an opportunity to try to attack president reagan. when it comes to the secret service -- 1981 was a watershed moment for us. we have people that are fixated on carrying out an attack against the president of the united states or one of our protectees. in this instance, you have the assailant who was a loner. he was researching. he had researched the democratic national convention. he had researched and googled or used a search engine about the president, the former president. so i think he had moved towards an idea that he was going to try to do something. when i look at this, we don't have a challenge with the fbi or the intelligence co

important right now, to understand that, you know-- does he have a-- you know-- is he more like john hinckley junior when he tried to kill president reagan, or is it an individual acting, because of political belief, and he believes that you know, violence is the only method that can make a change? and is he acting alone? is it something that he came up with by himself? was he radicalized by somebody else online or is he doing this with other people? who helped him get to the event? did anybody help him prepare for it? those are all things that the team-- in the pittsburgh region are doing right now. >> are you surprised, christopher, that this shooter had a clean line of fire? >> very surprised 150 yards is not even it is frankly amazing if he was intended on shooting the president that he did not, especially with a rifle, that is a fairly simple shot for anybody who has any training i would push back on critics though of the secret service though, because as mentioned many times and it bears repeating they are the finest in the world at protecting presidents and heads of state and, you know

attention, and in the case of the assailant, you know, to me as i overlay him over the top of john hinckley who tried to shoot president reagan, i see an individual based on information that i have now. some of the great work that the fbi has done. we have an individual who was a loner. we have an individual who is focused on donald trump and joe biden. hinckley traveled the campaign. we know that he followed president carter. on march of '81, he happened to show up in washington, d.c., and he saw an opportunity to try to attack president reagan. when it comes to this secret service, it was a watershed moment for us. we have people that are for whatever reason are fixated on carrying out an attack on the president of the united states or one of our proctectees. in this instance, you have the assailant who was a loner. he was researching. he had researched the democratic national convention. he had researched and googled her use a search engine about the president, the former president. i think he had moved towards an idea that he was going to try to do something. when i look at this, we don

. >> i will get to that in a moment, but i will say, john hinckley, who attempted to assassinate president reagan, actually lived in dallas. that was another shot for dallas , still reeling from the effects of being where the president lost his life. president kennedy's assassination happened at the dawn of television and satellite broadcasting. the news ricocheted all around the world, and there's been an outpouring of interest all across the world since the assassination, and finding out what happened. so, people come to dallas trying to seek meaning, and be careful crafting of the original exhibit, john f. kennedy and a member of the nation, was designed to reach people who had lived through this traumatic time. the idea was not that this was a museum or a memorial. this was an exhibit that would help put into context historical context, events that had happened, and to allow those people -- the remembers as we call them -- to find their own solace and reflect. they had no idea that, 33 years later, there would be a six-floor museum at dealey plaza, an accredited museum by american alli

hinckley shot reagan because he wanted to impress actress jodie foster. the guy who shot john lennon did it because he was a beatles fan. sometimes it's an attempt to become famous and somebody is just off in the head for lack of a better term. the idea of dialing down the rhetoric and looking at this as a law enforcement effort is the way to go they have a task force set up. it's going to be joint federal we have federal crimes in state crimes they will be split the attempt on donald trump will be federal. that has to go along the side as they make sure they get the rnc safe. they have to make sure the rhetoric stays low go forward as americans maturely here. but i will say this we need answers. we need to be communicated to regularly with regular updates and press briefings because in the vacuum is where the conspiracy theories grow that is where the political rhetoric overheats. as good a good law enforcement investigation going that is transparent and frankly i am glad representative gohmert is already announced he is putting in oversight because i trust the fbi agents on

there in the case of ronald reagan, the former president ronald reagan when he was shot by hi john hinckley junior. that became an fbi or a secret service and an fbi investigation that obviously went to all of all of the parts of that of that case. and so that is likely what is going to happen here. wolf but right now, again, we're still just getting the basic information from the scene as you pointed out, the shooter is no longer asserted, no longer believed to be a threat to the safety of that scene. and so now the investigation moves to another phase. so that's what we know at this point that the shooter was neutralized and that's a term again, that we hear from law enforcement when they mean that that the shooter is dead. >> and i think it's significant, evan, correct me if i'm wrong, when law enforcement officials are used, the word shooter that's a very, very specific word that means that someone was firing shots at the former president of the united states it wasn't just some banging noises were heard. these were gunshots when i when i was watching this live and i heard that noise to

well, i get that into amendment, but i'll do say that john john hinckley who attempted to assassinate president reagan actually lived in dallas. so that was another shock for dallas said has really still being really from the effects of having the city where the president was lost his life. president kennedy's assassination was happened at the dawn of television and satellite broadcasting. so the news ricocheted all around the world and there's been an outpouring of interest all across the world since the assassination and finding out what happened. so people come to dallas trying to seek meaning. and the careful crafting of the original exhibit john f kennedy in the memory of a nation was designed to reach people who had lived through this traumatic time the it was not that this was a museum or a memorial. this was an exhibit that would help put into context historical context events that happened and to allow those people the remembrance as we call them to find their own solace and reflect. they had no idea that. 33 years later that there would be a sixth floor museum at deely plaza

senator jacky rosen of nevada is questioning you know, to me as i overlay kim on over top of say, john hinckley, who tried to shoot president reagan i see an individual based on information than i have now. >> some of the great work that the fbi has done we have an individual who is a loner. we have an individual who was focused on donald trump and joe biden hinckley traveled the ad campaign and we know that he followed president carter. it just on march of 81, he happened to show up in washington, dc he saw an opportunity to try to attack president reagan. so when it comes to the secret service, in 1981, was a watershed moment for us we have people that are for whatever reason fixated on carrying out an attack against the president of the united states, or one of our protectees. and in this instance, you have the assailant who was a loner. obviously, he was researching. he had researched the democratic national convention. he had researched and googled, are used a search engine about the president, the former president. and so i think he had moved towards an idea that he was going to try to do

whatever else the second is you're going to look at at a psychological reason for this is the john hinckley reason that someone wanted to maybe impress others, become famous or whatever. and there's actually no known ideological reason. then the third is, was it a former supporter of donald trump who feels or is focused on a certain issue or certain reason. i think the third possibility is the least likely. but if you are an objective investigator at this stage, you are looking at those three potential motives based on are under basic understanding of how the world works, right now, what i want to know at this stage is twofold is what was the threat environment specifically for this rally, they're always going to be high for donald trump rallies as they are for president biden rallies are threat environment is higher. now we know that, but we we've been told by the fbi for a long time that that threat was generally right-wing focus. that is me just now narrating reality now that that the threat had come from the right-wing, did the fbi miss left-wing terrorism, if that's what this is or is

john hinckley, who shot ronald reagan was disturbed and this seems like a more sophisticated attempt but the other element of this in addition to how close we came to an assassination of the candidate, here were the people who were attending this rally, my, my initiation into politics was at a political tickle rally when i was 5-years-old. john f. kennedy campaigning in my in my housing development in new york city and that's what inspired me to politics. never would have occurred to me are the folks, are my folks are the people who took me and that summit now that was a dangerous place to be and so it's profoundly sad. i mean, whatever you think of what was where the president of former president said that rally or what what brought people there and so on that is, that is not a place where people who bring their children should feel unsafe i think it's a this is a bracing moment for our country and hopefully a moment for reflection where everybody kind of pulls back from the abyss so that we don't see this as a recurring event david frum the president united states, joe biden has, w

made me go back and do a comparison to the way in which we covered the immediate aftermath of john hinckleyempted assassination of ronald reagan pre-internet era. so you can go online and you can look at the washington post or the new york times the next day. there was no coverage of political identification or ideology or affiliation. but today, like we all want to see things through a republican or a democratic lens. and it's screws us up every time i'll see you next week the ceo is about to take off. there's no one that goes the things i do your course. >> limits of what pro wrestling can be we wednesday night dynamited aid on tbs and mental health this matter, but uncontrollable movements called teeny tardive dyskinesia started surrounding my day chidi felt embarrassing i felt like disconnecting i asked my doctor about treating my td and learned about in grad school in gaza is clinically proven for reducing td. most people saw results in just in weeks, people taking aggressive can stay on most mental health mets only number one prescribed in gaza has simple dosing for tv, always one pil

we have the categories that are political and then what happened with former president reagan, john hinckleyal demons. when you think to the attempt on george wallace, two attempts on ford, rfk, there was a period there in the late '60s and into the '70s that was a cauldron that led to people to take action violently in some political context. people have talked about the rise in political threats and violence on both sides today. do you see any parallels there or a way out of this in some of the responses that might have happened historically to previous acts of political violence? >> well, i just wrote an essay for "vanity fair" about grant park in 1968 where the riots occurred in chicago and everybody wag being beaten and mayor daley's police. since then, we are having the dnc this august, there is better law enforcement. there is tighter security. fbi does a better job. however, we're seeing massive security breaches. january 6th at the capitol being one that lives maybe in ecertainty also. now seen a rally in a field and how in the world did a gunman get to go on top of that building li

when we think about john hinckley who shot president reagan not, a political motive, he was trying to impress jody foster and had mental illness. and the shooter who shot gabbie giffords, not politically motivated. but the baseball shooting of steve scalise, that was politically motivated. we don't know yet, a registered republican, but donated to a democratic cause. >> was he buying a hat for somebody in his family or did he have political views? we don't know and we don't know the last time he voted and whom he voted for, very much in question what this motive could have been, and i know people are going to say he shot at donald trump, what motive could there have been other than something political? but it is important as they go through this to try to determine exactly what this was involving. we do know at this point and we've been told there's no sort of foreign involvement. i think that's also important for people to know at this stage of the investigation. >> tom, great reporting, thanks. >> thank you. as mentioned, former president trump is now in milwaukee where the republic

on march 30 , 1981, in washington, twenty-five-year-old disc jockey john hinckley shot ronald reaganh. ulya, having pierced the chest, passed one and a half centimeters from the heart of the us president and got stuck in the lung. in addition to reagan , the white house press secretary and a secret service agent and police officer were seriously injured. forty- second state president bill clinton, the only american leader to survive dozens of assassination attempts. in total, attempts were made on clinton's life about 30 times. on suspicion, more than 80 people were detained in the assassination attempt; they also tried to kill george w. bush. in 2005, during a trip to tbilisi , a grenade was thrown at him, but it did not explode. no. the presidential curse and barack obama have gone. in april 2009, according to media reports, intelligence agencies prevented an assassination attempt on the current us president in istanbul, where obama took part in the alliance of civilizations summit. july 13, 2024, forty-fifth us president donald trump has officially become the eighteenth american p

>> john w. hinckley, junior one of the most protected men in the world. >> had now become the target of gun violence what were the days like? immediately following the attempted assassination of president reagan, your dad? >> my most lasting memory was the shift of mood in this country. and the people who came up to me, who i'm sure we're not all supporters of my father what we're politics was set aside and they were simply coming to me with compassion and with humanity and with the awareness that i had almost lost my father the american people rallied to ronald reagan, regardless of their political point of view. >> the country shared sense of trauma and grief and concern the assassination attempt it's not divide us she was you game out of the hospital. >> the first thing he did was very next day went up in the capitol hill for a joint session no, the congress and they were roaring what support for him the country the around reagan. >> he had said in the diaries that i've edited when i woke up in the ho

to our attention and in the case of the assailant, to me as i overlay him over the top of, say, john hinckley who tried to shoot president reagan, i see an individual based on information that i have now, some of the great work the f.b.i. has done. we have an individual who is a loner. we have an individual who was focused on donald trump and joe biden. hinckley traveled the 80 campaign and know he followed president carter. just in march of 1981 he happened to show up in washington, d.c. and saw an opportunity to try to attack president reagan. so when it comes to the secret service in 1981 was a watershed moment for us. we have people that are, for whatever reason, fixated on carrying out an attack against the president of the united states or one of our protectees. and in this instance, you have the assailant who is a loner, obviously he was researching, he had researched the democratic national convention, he had researched and googled or used the search engine about the president, the former president. and so i think he had moved towards an idea he was going to try to do something. and s

i think it is important to remember, first off, the last presidential shooting we had, john hinckley jr. did it to impress a hollywood actress. we have seen a number of incides happen over the years where people thought the motive was clr, and it tned out to be a comple 180 based on the evidence. that's where the fbi needs to go with it. then we found out yesterday that they had a preliminary review of the cl phone. investigation is still ongoing, obviously. it was really nothing on that that led them to the why. i think that's a real challenge. going forward here in this investigation, they're talking to the family. every indication so far is that the family has been cooperative. but they're kind of running out of leads at this point. i think they're either hoping somebody comes forward or that they find some other piece of evidence or a needle within needles of a haystack to try to figure out why this happened. i'll caution people it is poss l we may never know this individual got on the roof that day. people think, well, it's just anti-donald trump because this person doesn't like

where he lashes out against president trump or even president biden, but to me, it's more to a john hinckleyit was so tight he couldn't get through. we didn't know that at the time, but he went to the nashville airport and he was arrested carrying three pistols. six months later he shot ronald reagan. the reason i point that out, he was going to shoot carter, who was a democrat because he wanted to impress a the hollywood actress. he couldn't get through to security so he shot reagan. this guy is a man in search of visibility, infamy. something could change that assessment if we get more information, but if there's no more information, that's where i would see probably this is. >> jim cavanaugh, thank you. >>> up next, new reporting about how donald trump says he's change his big speech for the rnc. we'll talk to one of the reporters who got the first interview with the former president since the shooting. in president since the shooting take on the day. with taltz, up to 90% of patients saw a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. some even saw 100% clear skin. and for those wi
