ONE HOT DAY, 2 HOT DAYS AND THEN A BREAK. >> WE'RE GETTING NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT OF DONALD TRUMP YESTERDAY. ONE PERSON DIED IN THAT ATTACK IN PENNSYLVANIA AND 2 OTHERS ARE CRITICALLY HURT. OUR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT JOE SAINT GEORGE LIVE FOR US THIS MORNING IN MILWAUKEE WHERE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION STARTS TOMORROW TO BREAK THINGS DOWN. JOE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. I'M CURIOUS, WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD THERE ON THE GROUND AS FAR AS LOGISTICS IS A BUSINESS AS USUAL IS FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP STICKING TO HIS ORIGINAL SCHEDULE? >> WELL, IT IS NOT BUSINESS AS BUT THE CONVENTION IS STILL HAPPENING IS NOT BEEN CANCELED. THE QUESTION NOW IS HOW DOES THE TONE THE TENOR CHANGE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS? OBVIOUSLY, IF THEY'RE IF YOU'RE A PRIME TIME SPEAKER, YOU'RE GOING TO BE REWRITING PORTIONS OF YOUR SPEECH IS A DIRECT RESULT OF WHAT UNFOLDED IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA ON SATURDAY. SATURDAY EVENING ARE ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM TAKEN OUT ARE ELEMENTS ADDED ARE THEIR PRAYER ELEMENTS ADDED ALL THINGS THAT THE RNC WILL BE WORKING THROUGH TODAY. THEY HAVE ABOUT 24 HOURS OR SO UNTIL THIS CONVENTION GETS UNDERWAY. BUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS INDICATED THAT HE STILL PLANS ON BEING HERE. I THINK SO MUCH OF THE TONE AND THE TENOR NOT JUST AT THIS CONVENTION, BUT IN AMERICAN POLITICS FOR THE REST OF THIS ELECTION WILL BE SET BY WHAT FORMER PRESIDENT SAYS IN HIS FIRST MAJOR AND A SPEECH. WHENEVER THAT HAPPENS SINCE NEAR ASSASSINATION ON ON HIS LIFE. IS THERE MORE CIVILITY WERE CALLS FOR TO BRING DOWN THE TEMPERATURE A BIT IN OUR POLITICS OR IS IT ESCALATED IN ANY WAY PRESIDENT BIDEN, DEMOCRATS, THEY ARE ATTEMPTING IN MANY WAYS. THEY'VE ALREADY DONE TAKING DOWN COMMERCIALS, ATTACKING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS. THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE UP WITH ATTACK ADS RIGHT NOW ON SOMEONE WHO NEARLY LOST THEIR LIFE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INCHES AWAY FROM WHERE WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT AN ASSASSINATION OF A FORMER PRESIDENT THIS MORNING AS OPPOSED TO AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. BUT YOU KNOW SO MUCH, TAYLOR, YOU AND I SPEAK PRETTY ON ON THIS STATION ON ON TV AND WE TALK SO MUCH ABOUT HOW 2024 HAS SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS IN HISTORY IT'S BEEN A REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN TO COVER. LAST EVENING. IT BECAME A U.S. AD CAMPAIGN TO COVER WITH POLITICAL VIOLENCE COMING TO A TRUMP RALLY IN PENNSYLVANIA GUYS. JOE, I. >> I HATE EVEN TALK ABOUT POLITICS THIS MORNING AFTER WHAT WE SAW LAST NIGHT. BUT THAT'S YOUR JOB. SO WE'RE GONNA LET YOU TALK ABOUT POLITICS HERE A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THE TONE YOU MENTIONED, THERE ARE SEVERAL TIMES WE SAW PRESIDENT TRUMP STAND UP LAST NIGHT. BLOOD COMING FROM HIS HEAD, PUT UP HIS FIST AND SAY THE WORDS FIGHT OVER AND OVER AND OVER. IS THERE. >> ANYWAY, TO PROJECT TONE AT THIS POINT? I DON'T I DON'T SEE A WAY TO DO THAT. I DON'T KNOW. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO GUESS WHAT TONE WILL BE SET BY THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND MAYBE THAT IMAGE OF FIGHT FIGHT, FIGHT. >> THOSE ARE ICONIC IMAGES THAT IMAGE OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP RAISING HIS HAND BEING TAKEN OFF THE STAGE BY THE SECRET SERVICE THAT WILL BE FRONT AND HISTORY BOOKS AND OUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDKIDS WILL READ ABOUT THIS MOMENT AMERICAN HISTORY. CERTAINLY I THINK THAT IS THE SUSPICION OF HOW THINGS WILL GO. BUT WE SHALL SEE. REMEMBER, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS A VICTIM OF A CRIME YESTERDAY AND OFTENTIMES IF YOU'RE A VICTIM OF A CRIME, WE AS JOURNALISTS CERTAINLY INTERVIEWED CRIME VICTIMS OVER THE YEARS. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE TRAUMA REALLY SET IN AND REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. I MEAN, HE HE NEARLY HE NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE. I WILL SAY ONE JUST QUICK THING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RNC AND THIS RALLY THAT WAS HAPPENING YESTERDAY IN PENNSYLVANIA. TOTALLY DIFFERENT SECURITY OPERATIONS. THAT WAS AN OPEN AIR VENUE. ANYONE COULD SHOW UP. THIS IS THE RNC CONVENTION. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SECURE PLACES ON THE PLANET THIS WEEK WERE INSIDE AND RAN. THIS IS WHERE THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS TYPICALLY PLAY THEIR BASKETBALL GAMES TO GET ANYWHERE CLOSE TO MY BROADCAST POSITION TODAY. YOU NEED VARIOUS LEVELS OF CREDENTIALS. THE SECRET SERVICE SEEMS TO SIGN OFF ON YOU JUST CAN'T SHOW UP AT THE RNC. EXPECT TO ATTEND. SO THERE'S MORE SECURITY HERE. THEN WHAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD IN IN BUTLER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. I SUSPECT YOU'LL HAVE I'M MUCH MORE ROBUST SECURITY OPERATION FOLLOWING HIS NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE YESTERDAY IN PENNSYLVANIA. GUYS. JOE, QUICKLY, BEFORE WE LET YOU GO, DO YOU HAVE ANY INCLINATION AGAIN TALKING POLITICS? UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO OF WHEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP COULD NAME HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK THIS WEEK. >> CERTAINLY ALL EYES WERE LOOKING TOWARDS MONDAY, BUT AGAIN. HOW DOES THE SCHEDULE CHANGE? I THINK YOU'VE GOT TO THROW OUT THE WHOLE PLAN THAT YOU HAD IN PLACE NOW AFTER AFTER THIS EVENT THAT IT MAY BE DELAYED A BIT. IT'S CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT WE WOULD THAT WE WOULD GET THAT WE WOULD GET TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE. MILWAUKEE, WE JUST WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN THE FINALISTS AGAIN, GUYS, SENATOR JD VANCE OF OHIO, SENATOR MARCO RUBIO, FLORIDA GOVERNOR DOUG BURGUM OF NORTH DAKOTA OR IT COULD BE A WILD CARD. SOMEONE THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT WILL COVER THAT ANGLE. BUT AS YOU GUYS KNOW TO POLITICS THIS MORNING, IT JUST FEELS ODD TO HUMAN LIFE WAS LOST
