WEBVTT - The Great Divide - The Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Malie's Bookshelf, bringing a world together

0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>with books.

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Culture and community.

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Hi, my name is Malik, your host a Malise's Bookshelf. Well,

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of speechless. I don't know about you, because

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>the great divide is upon us in this country. I

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>had to speak on the attempted assassination of president, former

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>President Donald J.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Trump. Everybody's talking about it.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>It's on every channel, so I had to talk about

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>this great divide.

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow, wow, I can't believe what I just witnessed today

0:00:54.160 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>July thirteenth, twenty twenty four, that the hatred and the

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>great divide in America over political views has led to

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the attempted sassination of a former president.

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Donald J.

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Trump was just shot at an attempted sassination centimeters from

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a bullet being shot in the head. It pierced his

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>ear and created blood on his face and cheek as

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>he dropped to the floor, and his Secret Service jumped

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>all over him to cover him as they pinned Donald

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump down. I guess the Secret Service and other counter

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>agencies shot the shooter dead on top of a roof

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>two hundred to three hundred meters away from where Trump

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>was hosting a riley in Butler, Pennsylvania. This was most striking.

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>It's on every channel, it's on every radio station, it's

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>all over social media. This is his history and everyone

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>is talking about it. What has happened in this nation

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>that a person would want to assassinate a former president

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>because of policy difference, because you view certain policies different,

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>have a different belief system in which you will want

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to see a former president and the leading candidate of

0:02:54.520 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party assassinated because you don't think you can

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>beat him at the polls, or you think he's a

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>threat to democracy. When the president doesn't even run the country,

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>he's just a spokesperson. There are forces in this world

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>that are far more powerful than the president of the

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>United States. The president is a spokesman for the rich

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and the elite, and he answers to a lot of

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>their policies. If you think a corporation or a wealthy

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>family is going to donate millions and millions of dollars

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to a presidential campaign and don't expect something in return,

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what alternate world you live in. Most

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>people might get twenty dollars, thirty dollars or whatever to

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>a politician. But what about these families and organizations to

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>give millions to one candidate and you think that they

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>don't have influence once you take that money. So for

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 1>someone to want to assassinate the president as if the

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>president solely runs this country when he is surrounded with

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 1>advisors in top elite officials to aid him in the

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>policies and the decisions. But outside of that, you're dealing

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>with lobbyists who have tremendous influence on the political process

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and on policy. But to think that someone that just

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>gives you ten million, fifty million, one hundred million to

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>run your campaign so that you can win, and you

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>think that they don't have ideological and political policies that

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>they want implemented.

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's get will.

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that both parties, a Democrat and Republicans

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>are saying some of the most outrageous things against each

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>other creates a climate and an environment where someone could

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>be incited to assassinate and murder a political rival.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's what is taking place.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>On July thirteenth, an attempted assassination on Donald J. Trump,

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the former president, the forty fifth president of the United States,

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>how outrageous of a nation where you can't have differences

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>in running for a political office the president of the

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>United States and be threatened because of your views and

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>your part. Let me say this, it doesn't matter who

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>wins the election. The reality is that America is not

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:29.919
<v Speaker 1>going away. America is not going to be destroyed. America

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>is an institution, and no matter what president sits in

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that seat is not gonna change the fact that America

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>is still gonna continue. The idea that if one of

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>them win, the threat to democracy it ends. This is

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>insane to even think that that would be the case.

0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>You in there four years and you're out. Now someone

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>else come in, got their views, four years.

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Later they out.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>But to think that you can vote for whom you want.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is to assassinate arrival because you feel

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>that he's threatening. Of him winning in America overnight, it's

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>just going to be destroyed because of a few policy changes.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Black people in America have survived slavery. And if you

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>think that if Trump winning or Biden winning is going

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to disrupt or stop the opportunity to be successful in America,

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to tell you that you're wrong in that

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:53.239
<v Speaker 1>type of thinking. We have survived slavery, we have survival pression,

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>we have survived racism and discrimination and all kinds of

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>acts of uninjustice. So the idea that somebody who becomes

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>president all of a sudden is going to stop our

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>ability to be successful in winning America when we have

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>survived and been resilient and been successful despite slavery, despite racism,

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.679
<v Speaker 1>despite all of the atrocities that have happened in to us.

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>We can only stop ourselves, and no president can stop

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>us if we're willing to do what it takes to

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>continue on the path of success. But let me tell

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.719
<v Speaker 1>you that requires change because a lot of things in

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 1>our community I'm talking about the black community is not cope, esthetic,

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>is not appropriate, is not good for our community, is

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>not good for the culture, and it's not good for

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>us as a people. But yet anyone that sits in

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:04.719
<v Speaker 1>that seat of president has nothing to do with teenage presidency, obesity,

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>poor health, black on black crime, black on black murder, addiction, alcohol, cocaine, crack,

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>all other kind of ulicit drugs that take place in

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>our community. I'm just saying. The point here is that

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>we got a lot of problems in our communities and

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>whoever becomes president is not going to solve those problems.

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>We gotta solve those problems. But that's another issue for

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>another time. But today, the attempted assassination of former President

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Donald J. Trump is a sign of a very dangerous

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>time in America where words are being used to incite

0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>violence and influence people to do acts of unthinkable. This

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 1>has to stop where we have to get back to

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the conversation and we don't have to degree, but we

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>can debate and we can discuss our differences. It's a

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>shame that you can't even sit down at a table

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 1>with your own family and discuss politics and religion without

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>an argument and a fight, because we've become so strong

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>in our opinions that it becomes an argument with anger

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and hateful passion and incredibly defensive. So in this country,

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>we need to calm down and get to a point

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>where we can talk our differences and be able to

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>unite on our differences back another person's belief in ideology.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>We never are.

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Going to see things one hundred but I know one thing,

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>it's our differences that have caused the changes in America

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>for the better that never would have been a Martin

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Luther King or Malcolm X or any other activist or

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>a person who devoted their life for change for the better.

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Violence is not the answer. Violence will not solve our differences.

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Violence is not the key for lasting change.

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying if someone attacked you that you don't

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>defend yourself, because you got a right to defend yourself.

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>You have a pursuit of liberty in life. I'm not

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>saying that you turn the other cheek out somebody is

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to kill you and murder you. What I'm saying is

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.319
<v Speaker 1>just to go out and premeditate to kill someone when

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you can use the power of your words to change.

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying.

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, if you're attacked, fight with those who fight with

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you and defend yourself, but.

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Don't be the aggressor.

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm at Belief Books, as I do always, I randomly

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>ask customers their thoughts about a particular subject, and yesterday

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>there could be no other subject that's more important than

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the attempted assassination of Donald J.

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Trump.

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask a customer randomly her thoughts about

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>this attempting assassination.

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Half an inch later, it would have been over. It

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 2>would have been over.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and what's your thoughts about the great divibe? People

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>seem to want to take things to the extreme and

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>use violence in an effort to determine the outcome of

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming election. If the justice system did its job,

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>we wouldn't be having this problem.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Guilty guilty?

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.320
<v Speaker 1>So you think that if their justice system would have

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>imprisoned the leading Republican camp Well, actually, he's about to

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>take the anomination of the Republican Party's upcoming week that

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department should have jailed him, imprisoned him since

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>they convicted him in the hush money case they called.

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think that he should have been jail So

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 2>you believe he's absolutely guilty. I believe he's guilty. I

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.559
<v Speaker 2>don't know about absolutely because I didn't have anything to

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>do with it.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Better, do you think that you do believe he's guilty?

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.959
<v Speaker 1>But do you think what happened yesterday was justified?

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, if he had been in prison, we

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't have had to worry about that.

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't advocate violence, No, No, that's never the answer.

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you, thank you, thank you for your thoughts.

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that. I'm gonna roll up on these other

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>two this in the store now, and I'm gonna ask

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>them their thoughts, like, Hey, hey, how y'all doing.

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Malik Books. I just had a brief question.

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I got a podcast called Malice's Bookshelf, bringing the world

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>together with books, culture and community.

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 2>But right now I'm doing it.

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing a episode on the Great Divide, the attempting

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>assassination of Donald J.

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Chump.

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to get your thoughts.

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm the wrong one to ask because I think it

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 4>was all a set up and I think it was

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 4>not real. It was fake, because what secret service is

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 4>gonna allow the attempted a target of an assassinate assassination

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 4>to jump up and do a photo op fist picture.

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 4>So I just don't I don't believe nothing he does nothing.

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Everything he does is stage. Everything he does is for

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 4>his benefit.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that he caused the death and the

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 1>injury of two other people?

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I think that they would be like, Okay, that's

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 4>just I mean, they probably told a guy not to

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 4>shoot at anybody, but you know, bull, it's gonna go

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 4>where they go, and the people got collateral damage and

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 4>they okay with that?

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow, And you think he orchestrated in line with the

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Secret Service.

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 4>I think that there was some secret service there, and

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 4>then the other ones were not real secret service, probably

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 4>his hired bodyguards or whatever. And yes, yes, I believe

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 4>it all.

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe. So this wasn't a lone wolf.

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 4>I believe they were all in on it. I was

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 4>a lone wolf, probably shooter, but he wasn't.

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 1>He was working with Trump hired this person or somebody

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>around him, hired this person who knew.

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>He was going to go on on the suicide mission.

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we don't know, but but I definitely I'm but

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 4>I definitely don't think it was just a real assassination. No,

0:15:59.080 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I do not think so.

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Even when two when one person died, two people died,

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the shooter and an attendee and too seriously critically injured.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 1>That ye, yes, I still don't think.

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 2>You Come on, brother, I know you got some thought.

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I know you got some thought.

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You want to keep it to yourself because you don't

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 1>want to be in disagreement with your wife. I love

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to hear your thoughts on that. I love to hear

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts. Hey, hey, you know you.

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Can't turn the channel without hearing this.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>You can't turn the radio station walk them talking about it,

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and you can't go on social media without them talking

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>about this.

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>This is you know is.

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's what you wanted. Everybody's talking about

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 4>Biden and Biden and Biden by he goes, I'm gonna

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 4>turn it back on me.

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.359
<v Speaker 2>There. You so you really.

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Think Trump is that malicious that he would plot to

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 1>get shot at and.

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Is graising somebody's ears his head. It would have been

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 4>blown off. We you missed, no, he ain't no, miss

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 4>he ain't no, missed, ain't no missed.

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 2>The twenty you.

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Fake blood.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Well I can assume by your statement that you're definitely

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 2>not a fan of Donald J.

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Trump, not at all.

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Thank you, Thank you God, thank you for

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 2>visiting Elik Books.

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going around for my podcast asking my cut.

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm the owner of Elik and I just want to

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.879
<v Speaker 1>get your thoughts on the attempted assassination of Donald J.

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Trump yesterday.

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 3>I didn't really hear about it until like this morning.

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 3>This morning, I saw this in the year Yes, yeah,

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 3>that's all. I don't really know anything about it. I

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 3>saw the picture of him pulling his fistuff after he

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 3>got shot well, what.

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 2>You think about that picture?

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 3>H and it's it literally it's a kind of a

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 3>cool picture for assassination at times.

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Right right.

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>It reminded me when I saw that picture of Immajima,

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>a statue that they made trying to take this heel

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.199
<v Speaker 1>and the soldiers was holding the flag, and you know,

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it looked like one of those type of that picture

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 1>is going to be historic because the flag over him,

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the fisshed up the Secret Service. I mean, whoever made

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 1>that shot? That was the money shot that was.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 2>That was awesome. That was a cool picture. So do

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 2>you think violence is to answer?

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.920
<v Speaker 3>I think that in order to build a more compassion

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 3>in society, we need to do it through compassion, not

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.439
<v Speaker 3>through violence, you know what I mean. And so if

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 3>you want a world that's more love, we got to

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 3>fight it through love, not through violence.

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>So this action they took place to shoot her, they're

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>still under investigation. But you don't agree with him trying

0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 1>to silence somebody just because he has a difference in

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 1>an ideology and opinion.

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.879
<v Speaker 3>Even though I don't agree with it, is that Trump,

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 3>I still don't think you should kill anybody in the

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.640
<v Speaker 3>MA regardless opinion. It's their right to believe how they want,

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean. And I think that, honestly,

0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 3>it's a slippery, seppy shart shooting people you don't like

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 3>on the other side, they start shooting people on your side,

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.360
<v Speaker 3>and it's a war. That's not what anybody.

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:16.959
<v Speaker 2>Wants, you know.

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, I think violence is definitely not the key,

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 1>not the answer. I mean, I'm not saying that if

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you're attacked, you have a right to defend like this

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the counter and telling the shot that God did. I

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 1>saw that because of the fact that he tried to

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 1>kill someone.

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 2>He was the aggressor.

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 1>So in a situation like that, sometimes you got to

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>meet it with violence. So they killed the guy because

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>he was trying to kill Pete.

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 3>That's fair because he was he had a gun, he

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.720
<v Speaker 3>was dangerous. But I'm not saying I'm not talking about

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:51.120
<v Speaker 3>like other parties.

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.880
<v Speaker 1>This guy met premeditated, took a rifle, got on the roof,

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and he went there to assassinate Donald J.

0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump. Yeah that's pretty that's what that's premeditated.

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's violent, that's wicked, And we definitely concurred

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that it's not acceptable just because we have difference in

0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 1>ideologies that a person shouldn't think that killing someone is

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the answer to solve you know.

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 2>The issue.

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for your opportunity here your thoughts on that.

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate that, and welcome to Maligue Books. Okay, okay, Ashley,

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>come on over here, come on, come on, what you

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>got to say about all this? I didn't talk to

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 1>a few customers talk to me.

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.680
<v Speaker 5>I think it's very suspicious. I'm also like chronically online,

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 5>so I'm kind of convinced that it was like they

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 5>did it on purpose.

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Trump did it on purpose.

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, or his team maybe to make him look like

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 5>really cool, because now people people are like, I'm in

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:48.200
<v Speaker 5>him just because he.

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Like so so you really think that he would jeopardize

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 1>his family, jeopardize his kids, jeopardized people did love him

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in the background. Okay, but let's say, for instance, that

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:09.160
<v Speaker 1>he done that and they found evidence that he'd done

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 1>that when he go to jail.

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but he's so rich and he's so like we've

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 5>already seen him get convicted of things and he never

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 5>went to jail. He just is so rich that he

0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 5>can get off of things.

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So if he plotted to kill someone, that to attempt

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 1>his assassinate and then ultimately several people got killed and

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 1>they found him guilty.

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:31.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't think he'd go to jail. No, you think

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>he is still get off. I don't.

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:35.879
<v Speaker 5>It seems like so far he keeps getting off on things.

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:37.640
<v Speaker 5>So I don't know why what would change.

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 1>But even though you feel the way you feel, you

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>don't justify someone attempting assassinate you ever try to kill anyone? No? Okay,

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 1>So what evidence do you have that he would stage

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 1>his own attempted assassination?

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Nothing?

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:59.080
<v Speaker 5>Nothing concrete, just like opinion, just different people saying different things,

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:04.439
<v Speaker 5>and it gets your mind thinking, oh, okay.

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So it ain't possible that the United States government wouldn't

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:06.920
<v Speaker 1>attempt to kill him.

0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 5>Oh for sure. The government's very corrupt.

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>So you don't think that the CIABR possibly could try

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to attempt to kill They could.

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>So all of these are possibilities.

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 5>I think the government is I think the whole government

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:23.920
<v Speaker 5>is corrupt and we should overthrow it.

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I got you, I got you.

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, you're the second person that said that you

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 1>feel that it might have been staged. And on social media,

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I've seen other people say something similar to that, But

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I also heard other people say that this was a

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 1>real attempted assassination because of difference in ill theologies and

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>beliefs in that President Biden and all of his uh

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>in the Democratic Party for the last eight years have

0:22:55.920 --> 0:23:01.639
<v Speaker 1>consistently onslaughted in target did Trump with words that he

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>did he's a hitler, and that he's wicked, and that

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>he's it is an existential threat to democracy, and that

0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 1>these things could possibly influence people in a way of violence.

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I know people like really love Trump and

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm not sure why, but yeah, you shouldn't try to

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 5>assassinate anyone. But I think I think all government is

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 5>kind of sketchy, whether you're a Republican or Democrat. I

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 5>truly believe that the presidents aren't the ones in control.

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 5>It's large corporations and everyone with lots of money, like

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 5>all the big businesses that own all the smaller businesses,

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:49.199
<v Speaker 5>Like I feel like they're like little puppeteers, like like

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 5>Trump isn't really like it's not all Trump's fault, but

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 5>it's also not all Biden's fault. I think there's more

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 5>to it. I think I think it's more complex.

0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I definitely concur with that that belief that the that

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the president doesn't run the country, that the rich and

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 1>elite does, and they have unlimited resources and power to

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 1>influence leaders to do their well.

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I definitely agree with that. A lot of people agree.

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:17.199
<v Speaker 1>With that, and so with that, thank you for your thoughts.

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 5>But I know that it's it's corporations causing a lot

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:24.840
<v Speaker 5>of these problems because there's some money.

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, thank you for your thoughts, Ashley. I'll see

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>another customer at Eligue Books. I'm gonna go over here

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and ask them their thoughts on the attempt assassination.

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 2>How you are young ladies doing good? Good good.

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I got a podcast called Malice's Bookshelf bringing the world

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 1>together with books, culture and community. And what I'm doing

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 1>is just asking people what you thought about the attempted

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 1>assassination of Donald Trump yesterday.

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Come on, give me your thought.

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I do not have any.

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, have you seen the videos? Okay? You ain't seen

0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 2>none of the news social media?

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, the news and what about you? You haven't

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>seen the whole thing.

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's crazy. But what do you think about

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 2>is balanced? The answer no?

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Never. So you don't agree with someone trying to assassinate.

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:16.360
<v Speaker 1>You might disagree with Donald Trump, but you don't agree

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>with somebody's trying to kill.

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Him, do you.

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 3>No, that's.

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 2>So both of you concur with that.

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the violence is not the way, But don't you

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>feel that that that words are influential and that when

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:36.159
<v Speaker 1>people incite I guess like saying that Trump is an

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>existential threat by saying that he's a rapist, by saying that,

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you're making what I'm saying that you're making people hate

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 1>him and you're making an exciting people to maybe want

0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to assassinate him, thinking that that's you're doing a noble thing.

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about that? Yeah, he says a

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of crazy stuff, but it still doesn't like, you know,

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not okay that he's attempted assassination. That's crazy and

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 1>it's scary.

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's scary. That's scary.

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we had a agree to disagree whout kind

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>of killed somebody because your policies might be different, or

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't like what you say is not a reason.

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 2>For violence.

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>For violence actually do lose their life that way.

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.639
<v Speaker 2>So already, so yeah.
