1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,560
Speaker 1: Afternoon.

2
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: The FBI are investigating another assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 2: Ryan Wesley Ruth has been identified as the suspect. Or

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Ralph has been identified as the suspect. He had an

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: AK forty seven, two backpacks and a GoPro in the

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: bushes at Trump's Florida golf course where he was hiding out,

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: and he got as close as two hundred and seventy

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: five meters away from Trump. Lauren Tomasi is Channel nine's

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: US correspondent and is in Florida.

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: Hey, Lauren, Hey, good evening, Heather.

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: What do we know about the suspect.

12
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Look, so far he has been named as Ryan Raup.

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: This is a fifty eight year old man. He's from

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Hawaii originally, but has been here in his daughter's car.

15
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: And it's all thanks to a witness that Ryan Rout

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: has been tracked down and now under arrest in custody

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: with police. That witness spotted him running from the Trump

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: golf course into his vehicle and took a photo of

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: that car. He then fled down the highway a couple

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: of kilometers, but police quickly caught up with him. Look,

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: he's been quite vocal on him his social media platforms

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: very pro Ukrainian, calling for freedom fighters to join the

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: fight for Ukraine, and has made multiple posts about Donald

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Trump before. But when it comes to a motive as

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: to why he may have allegedly carried out this attempted assassination,

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: we just don't know.

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: There is a lot of criticism right now of the

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: Secret Service for the fact that this guy was able

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: to get this close to Donald Trump. Should they not, also, though,

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: be praised for actually stopping it.

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: And certainly there is both of that from both sides

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: here in Florida tonight. There's questions as to how you know,

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: for the second time in two months, could a person

34
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: with a weapon get within striking of Donald Trump. But look,

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: the Secret Service certainly acted very quickly.

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: This time.

37
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: It was an agent who was one hole ahead of

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on the golf course.

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: They scout ahead of the.

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Former president as he's playing, and they spotted that tip

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: of the rifle in the bushes coming through the fence

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: of the outskirts of Donald Trump's golf course, and the

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: move to act quickly, around four to six shots were fired,

44
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: and that's what sent Ryan Ralph running to his vehicles.

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: So certainly praise for the Secret Service for acting quickly there,

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: but also.

47
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: Questions as to why the perimeter.

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Of the golf course wasn't secured in the perth place,

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: and local authorities here in West Palm Beach, Florida are saying, Look,

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: if he was the sitting president, it may have been

51
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: a different story. But it's certainly setting an awful president

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: of political violence here in the United States.

53
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: It's too right, Lauren, do you think he gets a

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: bump in the polls? Does this help him to get

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: re elected or has the previous assassination attempt already pushed

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: that out to its maximum limit.

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Look, it's such a rocky road here on the polls

58
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: in the United States. It's been up and down, and

59
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: this is an election cycle like you just we've never

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: seen before in America. After that last attempt did assassination

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: and Butler Pennsylvania a couple of months ago. Certainly Donald

62
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: Trump had that boost of supporter, as you say, and

63
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: he went into the Republican Convention riding that high. But

64
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: then around comes car La Harris changing up this road

65
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: to the White House once again things were different, and it's.

66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: Been neck and neck in the polls.

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: Now so how does this, you know, impact his supporters.

68
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. But look, the thing

69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: that is different here is this suspected shooter who is

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: accused of carrying out this or trying to carry out

71
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: this attempt at assassination, is alive and he'll be able

72
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: to answer questions for police.

73
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: So there's a lot to unpack here, certainly.

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lawrence, and thank you very much for runningus through that.
