Trump Shooting: What Next?

we are literally now on our way to Milwaukee to the RNC and in light of recent events it's going to be a pretty extraordinary occasion I would imagine security is going to be increased it's likely that the interviews we get will be pretty fascinating but we wanted to bring you something to comment on what's happened in the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump can you see how the culture has already divided massively on the basis of this event did did you know that media organizations were instructed to temper their reporting that's not entirely confirmed but on the basis of some of the reporting it seems likely the Washington Post Trump escorted away after loud noises at rally Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after popping noises heard at his Pennsylvania rally Trump removed from stage by secret Services after Loud Noises startles former president and crowd for a moment just for a moment compare the reporting and his around January 6th in Legacy Media to the reporting around what has to be regarded as an assassination attempt Joe Biden in his speech for EXO said we don't know what the motives are of the Assassin we don't yet have any information about the motive of the shooter everyone please don't make assumptions about his motives or his affiliations well I don't imagine that he was trying to fire vitamins in a Donald Trump's bloodstream it would I would assume that he's trying to kill him we've also seen depending on on people's previous political persuasion a focus on gun laws or gun controls or who really caused this but don't you think that all of us collectively have to recognize that there's been a hysterical campaign of demonization around Donald Trump which continues yet since the assassination attempt Joe Biden's already said stuff like Donald Trump remains a threat to democracy you can see all over the internet people saying why was he playing golf he should have been visiting people in hospital and isn't that a stark and chilling aspect of all this a man died a man died trying to shield and protect his family one of the things that I was struck by as well as the failures of the Secret Service The Peculiar amount of time that it took did you see that footage he was doing job I would doing this Beau they yeah look and it's not easy because we have millions and millions of people in our country that shouldn't be here dangerous people criminals we have criminals we have people that probably 20 million people and you know that's a olds old I was also struck by the fact that it isn't just Donald Trump Trump who's demonized by the Legacy Media it's also Trump supporters Trump supporters have been called everything from a basket of deplorables you can put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables to people that should just be shut out to out andout racists I wonder how much the vitriol and vituperative rhetoric on other platforms though all of us participate in to some degree have contributed to the escalation of of violence and hatred and ultimately has led to this individual who presumably troubled like I always think someone who does stuff like this is obviously a kind of a damaged individual when when it's school shootings whether it's massacres across the world that are continually occurring it has to be an indication of pain to some degree and I wonder how this event will ultimately play out and how it will influence the political discourse it's already provided an extraordinarily iconic image it's likely to would almost say guarantee Trump's victory in November but think about the many things that could happen between now and the election then it's likely we're going to see more hysteria more doubling down no attempts at reconciliation although I thought Bobby Kennedy offered a heartening speech and an attempt to almost awaken us from our Collective stuper of mudslinging and Loathing and to remember actually we can't continue to have a conversation so informed Med by violence and condemnation and contempt when you think of the sort of the even the punditry in Legacy Media people who say stuff like if you vote for Trump you are voting for fascism or an end to democracy Donald Trump has already been president we know what happens when Donald Trump is President he was President for four years between 2016 and 2020 what happened then I think escalating this to the point of saying you know he's the new Hitler if he gets elected again he'll end democracy and there'll be no more elections he wins the election he doesn't go to prison and is that for life that he gets to be president will we keep having more elections or no if every election is a new opportunity for him to go to prison do you think he allows us to have new elections I think that that kind of Hysteria has contributed to the mindset of perhaps the shooter but certainly it has pervaded our culture whatever caused or provoked Thomas M Matthew crook to attempt to take the life of Donald Trump it's likely that one of the contributory factors is the constant environmental noise hysteria and demonization certainly arguments will be made now that the environment of hostility and volatility requires both sides of the aisle both participants in the political conversation to reach the hysterical state that it's now reached what I believe to be most significant about this event is America is still the most powerful ful nation in the world and while it tears itself apart quite literally in the case of these escalating violent conflicts and now attempts on a presidential candidate's life we have to remember that across the world right now there are literal Wars Regional Wars Global Wars the potential for yet more war and yet more destruction Donald Trump's life in the final Reckoning is not more important than any of the children or heroes or individuals or service Personnel dying across the world right now in numerous conflicts I wonder which of the political candidates is most likely to bring about peace in all of these conflicts the significance of this election is very very high the feelings around these two political candidates appears to be very very high if you note the way that the media has reported on this event there is so much to learn are they amplifying the event are they minimizing the event are they attempting to mitigate the reasons why this may have happened or even blame Trump himself all of the partisanship and rhetoric for a moment ought be put aside and all of us ought look together at what it is we're invited to learn here and whether or not we can trust the institutions that report on these situations whether or not we can trust the Judiciary and whether or not we can trust the institutions that make up democracy because democracy doesn't seem to be a constitutional republic or an electoral process by which the will of the people is expressed unless that will is very much in alignment with a very particular agenda we'll be reporting on this over the course of the week from Milwaukee bringing you interviews and conversations from people directly connected to
