1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Stateside Richard Arrel on Morning Good What you make? Where 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: are we at with the investigation? Well, Prisident Biden says 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: the Secret Service needs more resources as this latest assassination 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: attempt on former prison Trump as being assessed and it 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: certainly needs to be gone over closely, doesn't it. Former 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: President Trump wrote on his social media that the effort 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: by the Secret Service was quote absolutely outstanding. 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: Was it? 9 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: The maniac with the semi automatic, even though he has 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: a lengthy criivinal record, had been sitting in the bushes, 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: we hear for about twelve hours at least they think. 12 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: So where was his car with it parked just near 13 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: the golf course since they were in the morning, Well, 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: we don't know yet. Thankfully, the Secret Service agent saw 15 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: the barrel of the weapon pointing through the thick bushes 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: and trees and open fire before this individual was in 17 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: direct side of Trump. However, was this a one hundred 18 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: percent success since the would be assassin was not able 19 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: to get off a shot or was it a close call? 20 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: There was more a case of good luck. The alleged 21 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: want to be assassin was about four hundred meters from Trump, 22 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: the range of his semi automatic with the scope that 23 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: he had was about two and a half times that distance. 24 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: Experts that would have been an easy shot. Wunce Trump 25 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: was in view, which was only moments away. So President 26 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: Biden is calling for security to be bolstered. Trump gets 27 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: less security than a sitting president, but this is a 28 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: different time, a very superheated political campaign. Even the acting 29 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: head of the Secret Service, Ronald Rose, says the agency 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: needs a complete overhaul. Well that at best happened quickly. 31 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: The accused government has been charged so far with a 32 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: couple of weapons counts, a legal possession of a firearm 33 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: as a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with 34 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: an obliterated serial number. Flora's governor, Ron de Santa says 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: he thinks the man should face state charges of murder, 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: which could bring a mandatory life prison term, and more 37 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: charges do seem likely. Meantime, Trump called for unity and 38 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: toning down the political retric when he was shot in July. 39 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: Not this time. He and his associates are blaming the Democrats, 40 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: and he claims are running a campaign of hatred for 41 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: calling Trump a threat to democracy, and his deputy J. D. 42 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: Vance is saying, you. 43 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: Know the big difference between conservatives liberals is that we 44 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the 45 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: last couple of months, and two people now have tried 46 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months. 47 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 3: I'd say that's pretty strong evidence that the left needs 48 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this 49 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: crap out. 50 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: This echoes what Trump back at Elon Musk posted the 51 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: other day when he wondered in a tweet, why quote 52 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: no one is even trying to assassinate Biden and Harris. 53 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: Mask later called that a joke and took that post down. 54 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: Here's a brief sampling of Trump though from the just 55 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: the past seven days. 56 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: You can end up in World War three. 57 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: She's a Marxist, communist, fascist, socialist. We must stop her 58 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: country destroying liberal agenda once and for all. She's a 59 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: threat to democracy. New York Times reporter Peter Baker Wright 60 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: slists today in an editorial quote, Trump long has favored 61 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: the language of violence in his political discourse, encouraging supporters 62 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: to beat up Hicckler's starting to shoot looters and undocumented migrants, 63 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: mocking a near fatal attack on the husband of the 64 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: Democratic House speakers, suggesting that they generally he deems disloyal 65 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: be executed, and on it goes forty nine days to 66 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: the election ers indeed, and then we come to Didy 67 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: and I suspect these wheels are going to turn for 68 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: a while.
