Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Saturday night. This is the closest a president or former president has come to dying from an assassination attack since Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. President Trump was on his way to a campaign stop when he was shot in the head by a would-be assassin only 120 yards from his podium. President Trump is now recovering in a stable condition in a critical condition in the ICU at the National Hospital in Washington, D.C. The White House has not confirmed the identity of the shooter, and no arrests have been made in connection with the incident, but the White House did not rule out the possibility that it could have been a targeted attack. President Donald Trump was the first sitting president to be shot in nearly 40 years and the first person to survive such an attack in nearly 30 years. Join us as we pay our respects to President Trump and his family, and ask for prayers for the President and his loved ones.

00:01:30.000We are here live at the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:01:35.000First, I wish it was under better circumstances.
00:01:37.000First, we have to have gratitude that I believe the Lord intervened this last Saturday.
00:01:43.000And I don't say that lightly, but President Trump literally was a head tilt away from not being with us right now.
00:01:50.000The security failure, what happened with the Secret Service, You're all going to remember where you were that Saturday.
00:01:56.000I'll tell you, I was walking through my gym, going to go work out.
00:02:00.000And I was, you know, looking at the rally, Trump takes the stage, typical type of B-roll.
00:02:05.000And then all of a sudden I said, well, that's weird.
00:02:07.000Why are a bunch of agents holding up Trump?
00:02:09.000My initial reaction was that it was what we saw back in 2016, when there was a false alarm, very similar circumstance, a bunch of agents went around Trump, they get him off stage.
00:02:18.000And then I look closer and he has blood.
00:02:48.000How the Secret Service did not clear that out is Inexcusable and we are going to have hearings and we are going to have investigations immediately for exactly who was responsible and how this was allowed to happen.
00:03:01.000But first we need to, we need to press pause and reiterate our gratitude to the almighty.
00:03:07.000There is no other reasonable explanation here where Donald Trump's head tilt and just looking to a graph and immigration graph off to the side saved his life and What ensued after was, first of all, the media.
00:03:29.000They were unwilling to say that it was an assassination attempt.
00:03:32.000This is the closest that a president or former president has come to dying from an assassination attempt since Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.
00:03:42.000It has been nearly 40 years, and we're going to go into great detail what has actually happened to the Secret Service and how they have Lost the trust of the American people after this, but praise God, Donald Trump is alive and well.
00:03:54.000He is more committed than ever to make this country great and to retire Joe Biden and to win in November.
00:04:02.000And I want to, I want to bring here, Noah.
00:06:02.000And, you know, watching it all unfold, watching the Secret Service, the state police tear down the barricades, start to rush in there and, you know, try to get to the bottom of this thing.
00:06:13.000But, like, we had people Like, pointing somewhere, looking around, like, saying, hey, there's something going on, like, right before Trump got shot.
00:06:20.000Like, they're saying three minutes, they knew something was going down.
00:06:23.000So, for three minutes, everyday Trump supporters were trying to warn the police and Secret Service, and they did nothing?
00:06:44.000Who lost his life by this would-be assassin.
00:06:47.000Noah, you are in the grassroots registering voters every single day, having seen and witnessed a almost assassination of Donald Trump, which by the way, you saw history there.
00:06:58.000I mean, that is the first time that a shooter was able to get even close to a
00:07:02.000president or former president in 40 years.
00:07:04.000The secret service has been bragging to us about how great they are,
00:07:23.000My attitude after this, and I will tell you, starting today, and I would love to talk to this person again, saw a guy wearing a Trump hat, Trump shirt.
00:08:55.000I mean, what, What is your message to the rest of your Gen Z counterparts across the country that are not engaged right now after what you just saw?
00:09:08.000And I mean, if you want to have a future, if you want to have a house, you want to have lower gas prices, food prices, want to have a family, you need to vote.
00:09:16.000You need to get out there and vote for Donald Trump.
00:09:18.000Do you believe being there and witnessing it and reflecting that it was a spiritual moment, what happened there?
00:09:24.000And you know, I think it was a shot heard around the world moment.
00:11:23.000I want to throw to the great Ben Berquam, who is with some amazing patriots on the ground here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, right near our Turning Point Action headquarters.
00:12:48.000By the way, Charlie, everywhere I went in Europe, in England, I would say I'm with Real America's Voice News, and then they'd kind of look at me and I'd say, you know Charlie Kirk?
00:12:55.000They all knew Charlie Kirk over there in Europe, too.
00:13:44.000But as you said, Charlie, it is time for everyone in this country who loves this country to stand up with boldness, to stand now for such a time as this.
00:14:02.000I want to say thank you to Turning Point for a fantastic prayer vigil yesterday in the park across from our hotel, and great pastors speaking and standing up boldly.
00:14:13.000We'll throw back to you in a second here.
00:14:15.000So coming up next, we have Speaker Newt Gingrich.
00:14:18.000Again, we have not lived through an assassination attempt similar to what we saw on Saturday since Ronald Reagan.
00:14:25.000The Secret Service then had relaxed protocols and then They went through a massive change saying, we will never allow that to happen again.
00:14:32.000We saw the slipping of the Secret Service in recent years, from with Kamala Harris to not sweeping buildings, to diversity, equity, inclusion being prioritized in the United States Secret Service.
00:14:46.000And this is a moment we need to pause, have gratitude, but also say, why is this acceptable?
00:14:53.000In the greatest country ever where the leader of the opposition movement and a former president nearly has his head taken off when someone is 120, 130 yards away, literally as far from here to the arena, 120, 130 yards away, completely unacceptable.
00:15:09.000I want to just remind everybody here that is watching and that is seeing the events unfold that the proper course of action, of course, is to stay calm, stay peaceful and credit to this entire movement.
00:15:22.000Credit to so many of you, where the media has been saying, oh, we're really worried about right-wing political violence.
00:15:28.000We're really worried about right-wing domestic terrorism.
00:15:32.000What you saw this last weekend was the opposite of that.
00:15:35.000You saw Donald Trump put his life on the line and literally take a bullet for you.
00:15:46.000And he is committed to make this country great again, unite this country, and bring us back Alright, I need to tell you guys about StrongCell.
00:19:20.000I've said very strongly, this is a providential moment, something which Washington and Lincoln would have understood.
00:19:27.000And they both described providential moments.
00:19:30.000And I think that the fact that he has been basically saved is an enormous thing.
00:19:37.000And if you add to that in an amazing way, Today the judge in Florida dismissed the entire case against him.
00:19:46.000It's almost like things are beginning to fall into place for a truly historic presidency that will actually get America back on track to being the most unique country in the world.
00:19:59.000When I first saw it, I thought it was a false alarm.
00:20:02.000I thought it was one of those where the Secret Service agents go around him.
00:20:23.000Well, it was, I mean, to have CNN describe it as, you know, the president has scored it off having fallen as opposed to having been shot, I think was just despicable.
00:20:33.000And again, tells you a lot about the bias that Donald Trump has lived in for nine years.
00:20:39.000I mean, every single part of the way, he's had that same problem.
00:20:43.000President Trump has said that he's completely changing his speech at this convention.
00:20:47.000You've been, you've been to a few conventions.
00:20:59.000But, you know, I think he's doing the right thing.
00:21:02.000He's at a magic moment when even most of the people who are, I mean, the hardcore left is never going to be for Trump, and they shouldn't be.
00:21:11.000But there's a large block in the middle, my guess is, the number of never-Trump-er Republicans shrank by 50% in two days.
00:21:19.000They just looked and said, you know, you got to be for him.
00:21:23.000And I think that will give him, Lincoln used to say, that with public sentiment, with popular sentiment, anything is possible.
00:21:31.000Without popular sentiment, nothing is possible.
00:21:34.000And I think that Trump is in a position now, potentially, to have a very large majority of the American people on his side.
00:21:42.000And with that, to have the Congress on his side, because in the end, the Congress, by definition, has to follow the will of the people or they get fired.
00:21:50.000And if you were to, you probably might be, giving him advice as to how he captures this moment to unite the country in his speech and his messaging, what would you tell him?
00:22:01.000Well, look, I think as a historian, the message is very simple.
00:22:06.000He has now become a historic figure and in a way he has to let himself grow into that.
00:22:14.000He was a candidate, he was a champion for half the country, but It's very different if you're Charles de Gaulle or Dwight Eisenhower or Abraham Lincoln or George Washington to be at the level Trump is on the edge of.
00:22:28.000He has to grow into being that person.
00:22:30.000I think so far, the first couple of days, he's lived that out perfectly.
00:22:34.000He's got to be a person who reaches out and says, you may or may not agree with everything, but can we find a way to work together?
00:22:42.000He has to find a way to say to the world, you know, our goal is not American dominance, but it is the end of violence and it is the end of countries invading each other.
00:22:50.000And can't we find a way to work together?
00:22:53.000And I think that's a totally legitimate.
00:23:30.000And I think you have the same thing here, that Trump now has to say, and I think he knows this and he said this to Gordon of the New York Post, you know, by any reasonable standard he should be dead.
00:23:42.000Because the shot wasn't that far away, it came that close to his head, you know, in 9 out of 10 worlds, Donald Trump's dead.
00:23:52.000And in this one providential moment, Donald Trump's alive.
00:24:02.000Washington, trying to save Braddock's army after it's been ambushed by the French and Indians, is on the biggest horse in the army, and he's physically the biggest man.
00:24:12.000He has four bullet holes in his coat, has two horses shot from under him.
00:24:17.000Ten years later, he's at a meeting with the Indians, and one of the chiefs says to him, all of us were trying to shoot you.
00:24:26.000You were so obvious, you were on this big horse.
00:24:28.000He said, I personally shot at you 13 times.
00:24:31.000He said, obviously God has some mission for you, because none of us could hurt you.
00:24:36.000And that's part of the underlying sense that Washington had.
00:25:31.000Now, I did see an article, and I've just sent some notes to guys in Congress asking them to verify it, but there is an article that came out a little while ago that part of Trump's detail had been transferred to Jill Biden.
00:25:50.000And under the protocol that a First Lady Outranks a former president.
00:25:58.000Now this, this is, this is mindless, but remember, this is the Biden administration that has for months refused to protect Robert Kennedy Jr.
00:26:07.000But think of, think to yourself, I mean, how grotesque is it when you have somebody whose father and uncle were both assassinated to tell them we're not going to protect you?
00:26:16.000It tells you, it tells you what mean, nasty people.
00:26:23.000Joe Biden's reaction was, as you would imagine, were thoughts and prayers, Kamala Harris, other people as well.
00:26:29.000But I found it a little bit hard to believe for some of them, not necessarily them, in the media where they say thoughts and prayers, but they were saying that Donald Trump is akin to Hitler in the weeks prior.
00:26:42.000Is it that Donald Trump's a threat to democracy and that he's Hitler or that you're praying for him?
00:26:46.000Look, I could barely stand watching Biden last night because the whole speech is a lie.
00:26:53.000I mean, it doesn't mean any of that stuff.
00:26:57.000I mean, you know, it's just, you watch it.
00:27:00.000And in fact, the way they worded it, and I'm sure his staff wrote it, the way they worded it, everything that's in there is designed to punch Republicans.
00:27:08.000And you think to yourself, you know, do you guys think the American people are so stupid?
00:27:13.000That they can't figure out when you're just plain lying to them?
00:27:56.000So you've got to look at it in that context and recognize that this is not about a single... Now the news media would like to be about Joe Biden because the news media doesn't want you to realize every one of their major policies fails.
00:28:36.000But I will tell you, if you had said to me Saturday morning, you know, do you think that we'll go through this next 48 hours?
00:28:42.000I would have said, it's inconceivable.
00:28:45.000It never would have occurred to me Saturday morning that we could have gone through the turmoil, the emotions, having a president almost killed, and have him say the next morning, yeah, of course I'm going to the convention.
00:29:08.000In fact, I didn't use it deliberately, because knowing Trump, he'd have promptly wanted to get out of the car and go back and finish the speech.
00:29:14.000But the truth is, Roosevelt was shot near here in 1912.
00:29:38.000Well, I didn't want to use it over the weekend because I didn't want Trump to think, gee, I guess maybe I should have stayed and finished the speech.
00:29:47.000His reaction was amazing, was unbelievable.
00:29:51.000It put him in the league with people like Charles de Gaulle or Dwight Eisenhower or Margaret Thatcher, I mean, or John Paul II.
00:29:57.000I mean, people whose courage Which in every one of those cases I think comes from a sense of divine guidance and a sense that history is bigger than they are.
00:30:10.000Their job is to understand their role in history.
00:31:41.000So Judge Eileen Cannon correctly dismissed Jack Smith's case.
00:31:49.000Down in the Southern District of Florida because Jack Smith's Appointment violates both the Appointments Clause of the Constitution and the Appropriations Clause.
00:31:59.000When you have an office created, it has to be through legislation.
00:32:04.000And what happened, the Office of Independent Counsel was the prior office that was created by legislation.
00:32:10.000Congress let that lapse after Ken Starr's investigation of President Clinton.
00:32:15.000And the Justice Department just tried to do an end run.
00:32:17.000They tried to create the Office of Special Counsel by fiat.
00:32:20.000So Judge Cannon did her job as a judge and said this is unconstitutional.
00:32:40.000I don't think Judge Chuckin is going to side with Trump on that one.
00:32:43.000So this will have to get resolved by the election when President Trump wins on November 5th.
00:32:48.000And when he takes office on January 20th, his acting attorney general on day one needs to dismiss these Biden Democrat cases against Trump.
00:32:57.000This is obviously lawfare and election interference.
00:33:02.000And for quite some time, Donald Trump has had to endure this onslaught and this blitzkrieg of lawfare.
00:33:10.000Does the presidential immunity case also potentially impact the Georgia case or the New York State case? Absolutely.
00:33:16.000Both. Absolutely. So with the presidential immunity decision, the Supreme Court held that
00:33:22.000the president of the United States, any president, is immune from criminal prosecution for his
00:33:27.000official acts, not his personal acts. And what we saw with that case in New York is that Alvin
00:33:34.000Bragg, the Soros-funded DA, used evidence that was subject to presidential immunity.
00:33:40.000So there has to be a mistrial declared in that case.
00:33:43.000Remember, the jury, this Manhattan jury, found him guilty.
00:33:46.000He has not been convicted or sentenced yet.
00:33:49.000Judge Marchand pushed back that hearing until September.
00:33:53.000I think Judge Marchand knows he's going to have to declare a mistrial, and if he doesn't, the Supreme Court of the United States will step in again.
00:34:00.000How do we, when Donald Trump becomes president again, God willing, And it's hard to believe that there's not some sort of providential play going on here.
00:34:09.000How do we make sure that this weaponization of justice doesn't happen in 2028, 2029?
00:34:12.000A time where President Trump might not be president.
00:34:17.000For the next President Trump, five, ten years down the road.
00:34:19.000Because it's one thing to win and put the right people in place.
00:34:23.000How do we structurally make sure this never happens again?
00:34:26.000Well, I think the Supreme Court has largely done that, and so has Judge Cannon.
00:34:29.000And President Biden should be very happy with the Fisher decision on January 6th, the presidential immunity decision, and Judge Cannon's decision.
