It is set for 4 00, well go there toward The End of the show. But first up to speed on what we know right now. The suspect, 58yearold ryan Wesley Routh was in Court Today charged with two federal counts. Routh has a long, long history with Law Enforcement. With more than 100 criminal counts filed against him in North Carolina. Including a 2002 conviction for possession of a fully automatic machine gun. In todays criminal complaint, the fbi said routh might have been waiting for former President Trump in the bushes next to the Golf Course for more than 11 hours. When agents spotted him and took shots. They say routh fled leaving behind a soviet style semiautomatic weapon with the serial number scratched off. And cops pulled him over on i95 and have just released Body Cam Footage of this moment. Driver take a step to your right. Driver, come straight back. Keep walking. Nbc news has obtained more exclusive Body Cam Footage. Well show you that in just a second. On the Social Media in 2020, he criticized Donald Trump for how he handled the presidency, writing, while you were my choice in 2016, i and the world hoped that President Trump would be different an better than the candidate but we all were greatly disappointed and it seemed you are getting worse and devolving. You are a word i dont want to say on tv. And i will be glad when you are gone. In the aftermath of routh apparents assassination, trump is fundraising and blaming democrats saying President Biden and Harriss Rhetoric are causing him to be shot at and blaming the media and Rep Marjorie Taylor greene is saying there is an Effort Effort of them trying to kill the former president. Joining us now from West Palm Beach is vaughn hillyard. Also with me is national Law And Intelligence correspondent tom winter. Again we have more Body Cam Footage once we get it loaded up in our system. Tell me more about this Routh Fella and what the fbi is theyre not charging him with attempted assassination. Why not. First off, the Number One goal for them is we got somebody in custody, lets keep them in custody. So for their purposes, easiest charges are these charges of the possession of a firearm, by a prohibited person, a convicted felon and also he took he scratched off the serial number and had a firearm that had that off. We have it in our possession and we have the photos of it and weve got the gun itself. We dont have a problem here. So that is Number One. Get him off The Street and keep him off The Street. Figure out what this guy is about. And lets figure out how did he get the gun . Did someone sell it to him illegally. Because he cant legally buy a gun. Hes a convicted felon so hes not allowed to possess a gun. That is a question going forward for investigators. Perhaps well larn more about that at the 4 00 p. M. Press conference that you alluded to. That is Number One. Number two, with respect to what happened here, weve seen all sorts of Social Media posts. He said he voted for trump in 2016 and soured on him and proposed other potential republican candidates. That doesnt necessarily mean we have a motive. We know more than we do about the shutter in pennsylvania, Thomas Matthew crooks, but we dont know why he choose to do that this day. And this is not a state secret, we know about the former president and his hobbies, he enjoys playing golf when hes not on the Campaign Trail playing golf on the the weekends but he did pick the spot and knew it was close to the Golf Course and got there at 1 50 in the morning and waiting until approximately 1 30 when the secret Service Agent noticed him and the fact that hes armed. So theyre going to want to figure out if he knew Donald Trump was going on that day or guessed he was going to a Golf Course and how you knew to get to that particular spot, or whether he scoped it out or someone hold on one second. There is more Body Cam Footages i alluded to. This is exclusive to Nbc News. Lets take a look. Two steps to your right. Take two steps to your right. Driver. Walk straight back. Keep walking. Whats your name. Ryan . Why is he holding his shirt over his head. Ordered to do that after coming out of the car and they want his shirt up and over his heads because they will know if there is a gun in his waistband. They want to know if hes got a handgun on him and they have the long gun and the hand gun. My guess is that they instructed him to do so and that is where this went. Or perhaps he did it himself given his history and im not saying this Tongue And Cheek given his history with Law Enforcement, perhaps he knew to do that. He didnt want to have an incident where he fired at. His calm as been described to us from the on set by Law Enforcement officials. So, you have seen this video a couple of different times. This is the best angle because it captures it from the beginning and the view of the arresting officer. You were going to say something before i showed the video. As far as other individuals, was he scouting out the location, had he been there before. One of our researchers is in West Palm Beach today and shes talked to a number of Business Owners where the fbi visited starting as early as two hours after the shooting yesterday, taking Hard Drives and taking Security Camera Video from stores and shops nearby to try to determine if he passed by and so that also helps with a timeline. Where did he flee and what time did he flee . But he had been there before and perhaps theyll look now knowing that he was there at 1 50 in the morning and he had been close anywhere else. And hats off to Jesse Kirsch for getting this angle of this arrest. So vaughn hillyard. You are outside of the maralago. How is Donald Trump reacting. Weve heard him blame President Biden and vp harris. Right, we slnt heard from him publicly outside of the Social Media post. But before We Goat to that. I want to show you. We have done a lot of live shots over the last years across the lagoon here. This is the first time that ive seen Law Enforcement patrol the waters here outside of the maralago estate. Going over the last hours of the day. When youre talking about the campaign, look at a fundraising memo. Multiple Text Messaged and emails have gone out. One in part saying, quote, fear not, after yet another attempt on my life, i will be fighting even stronger. And unlike what we saw in the immediate aftermath two months ago of the butler, pennsylvania, shooting, youve seen Donald Trump come out on the attack against democrats. Look at his Social Media posts from which he writes in part, quote, because of this community left rhetoric, the bullets are flying and it will only get worse. Donald trump saying that Kamala Harris and democrats use of calling him a threat to democracy has led to some individuals, these individuals in particular to seek violence to take him out. And at the same time, lets be very clear, were lucky there is not an attempted assassin on the loose thanks to Law Enforcement that spotted him outside of the perimeter there at the Golf Course and then ultimately the Martin County Sheriffs Unit for tracking him down on the Highway North of here in palm beach. But for Donald Trump, when we are talking about inflammatory rhetoric, there is also reality that is on the west Coast Swing with him and at Campaign Rallies call Kamala Harris a threat to democracy and has repeatedly suggested that The End of the country could be near if democrats win this election. This is a moment where we find ourselves 50 days out from the election. Donald trump has every intention were told of continuing on with his Campaign Schedule including tops in michigan and long island, New York and before going to North Carolina on saturday. So at this point in time, it is full steam ahead for this campaign and in the crucial day as head. 50 days until the election. Thank you very much. Joining us now, the New York times chief white House Correspondent and msnbc political Analyst Peter Baker and David Trucker. You were writing this about assassination, apParent Assassination today. We say apparent because he wasnt able to get any shots off and the fbi is still deciding whether theyre going to be charging him with an Assassination Attempt as i was discussing a moment ago with tom winter. But youve been writing about the rhetoric surrounding it and you said Mike Lee has said you Cant Trust the feds blaming the media for this for what happened yesterday and you have Marjorie Taylor Greene going out and saying this is not a loan wolf. That there is an organized effort, putting some Conspiracy Theory into this story. What is the republican party doing here . Look, i think theyre following the lead of their standard bearer and this sort of rhetoric has been a staple of Donald Trump since he first ran for president in 2016. Now no doubt the rhetoric from the other side has really heated up post January 6 with nothing else, President Biden regularly referred to the former president as a threat to democracy and you could find all sorts of conversations among democrats about, you know, trump wanting to be a dictator and if he gets elected hell never leave and things like that. But this idea this only flows one way is simply not born out by reality. I would also point out that since Kamala Harris took over for President Biden, shes deemphasized in our general messaging this threat to democracy that was so much a part of President Bidens campaign and instead talked about Donald Trump as a threat to freedom, freedom to access abortion, freedom to read the books you want, to join a union. Things that are more runofthemill and less catastrophic. I dont know what happened in july or where the president was actually hit by a bullet and almost killed and a rallygoers but it is slightly different than the biden campaign. It is interesting to see what trump does moving forward. I hear what you say. There is language coming out left. But when theyre talking about threats to democracy, when they were pointing to January 6 and what happened on that day an this idea that Donald Trump keeps spreading this lie about the election being stolen from him in 2020. And theyre also pointing to Donald Trumps oeb words. I want to be a dictator on day one. Trump said hes joking about that. But weve had so many instances in the past where he claimed he was joking about something that was pretty serious or extreme. Peter baker, i want to get your thoughts on this. The world that were living in with this threatened environment, the words that are being used in political campaigns. This is an extraordinary moment right. Were now seeing two Assassination Attempts apparently as you say, the fbi is still not not charging with that but two against the former president. It is reminding people of 1968. Were already doing a lot of comparisons to 1986 because of the war in gaza on the left, in 1968 was about the war in vietnam and the sense of Society And Polarize is and that kind of thing. And what we didnt have the last couple of months in terms of the comparison was the political violence and the assassination of Martin Luther King and kennedy. Fortunately in this case, they were unsuccessful and former President Trump has survived and will continue to campaign. But it talks about our moment of political violence. That this is somehow becoming not just an aberration, but part of our landscape. And we will be shocked by it and then we will almost certainly move on on some level. It didnt take that long after butler where he was hit, not seriously wounded but hit by a bullet that could have very easily gotten to him and made things worse. And yet we moved on within days because were amure to some extent to this political environment. Guys, youre sticking around. I want to take a quick break. We have another subject that i want to hit you on. This also has to do with threats. Still ahead, unfounded accusations against haitian immigrants in springfield, ohio, has led to closed school and canceled events. And what j. D. Vance said over the weekend. And a journalist on her tie to Ashli Babbitt, now seen as a martyr to the far right. What she learned in nearly a year getting to know insurrectionist sympathizers. Were back in 90 seconds.

Side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. Living with Type 2 Diabetes . Ask about the power of 3 with ozempic. Speaking of threats, the town of springfield, ohio is getting swamped by them. Two Elementary Schools were evacuated today following four other schools last week. Colleges and in and around the town have moved to remote learning and an Annual Culture Fest was canceled and haitian families are scared to leave home. All while Donald Trump and j. D. Vance keep spreading a racist lie about haitians. The allegations said the allegations are b. S. And Mike Dewine called the claims garbage and yet Trump And Vance keep on peddling them, even now after they have after they have been repeatedly refuted. It wasnt just a meme. I have to create stories so that the american media pay as tension to the suffering of the american people, then that is what im going to do, dana. Because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast. So, sorry, you just said youre creating the story. What is that . You said this is a story that you created. Yes. So the eating dogs and Cats Thing is not accurate. We are creating dana, it comes from firsthand accounts from my constituents. I say that were creating a Story Meaning were creating the american media focusing on it. Joining us now, correspondent maggie vespa. So what has it been like in springfield, ohio . Chaos, daily. Since last wednesday and thursday and the debate was tuesday when trump catapulted this baseless officials stress online Conspiracy Theory into the national lexicon repeating the false claim that haitian immigrants had been eating peoples pets and there is no evidence of that to indicate that is happening. But you talked about the two Elementary Schools. Schools and hospitals last week and the weekend targeted by Bomb Threats. Weve also received word from an Nbc Affiliate that the ohio State House was targeted by a bomb threat, about 45 Minutes East of springfield. All of this affecting No One more than haitian immigrants in springfield who tell us they are terrified to leave their homes. One man i talked to said that haitians have been getting threatening Phone Calls from total strangers who got their numbers. Parents are keeping their kids home from school and then he told me, this story about a friend of his, take a listen. I was talking to my friends and said one haitian guy not punched in his eye. I Haitian Person was punched in the face here in springfield. Yes, how do you deal with that . Actually, that is why were here. Were trying to help with all of these kind of things, to be careful where youre going and where youre going to meet people and when youre gathering with people. And like Phone Calls like people would call you and try to threaten you and all of that. That is a lot. So for context that was shot outside of the Springfield Community Center because they wanted to have a Community Meeting for everybody to get up and talk together about how this has been impacted then but the slew of threats, perhaps no surprise, made them too scared to gather at all in a public place. So they shut that down and moved it to facebook live. So i mean the chaos continues. It is almost another day, another avalanche of threats and people there are really scared. Maggie, thank you very much. And Peter Baker and David Trucker are till with me. Governor dewine is in a News Conference in springfield. He said they received at least 33 threats, each one has been investmented and found to be a hoax and theyre taking 36 members of the ohio State Patrol Field force who will be in springfield, ohio by early tomorrow morning. So these threats are shutting down schools, theyre shutting Dunn Hospitals and theyre disrupting daily life and making haitians really scared. It is forcing the state of ohio to redirect resources to springfield. Dewine has said this is b. S. And local officials in springfield has said this is b. S. And the spoke to the mayor the other day and he told me that. And yet j. D. Vance and Donald Trump are still saying it. Why are they still saying it when there is no proof that this has happened . Well it shouldnt be a surprised. Because the former president has done this throughout his political career when he finds politically convenient. And sometimes it is worked for him politically and right now there is not. There is a much better case to make about the current president s leadership and the Vice President s leadership at the southern border which has not gone the way many americans wan it to go and instead of talking about that and what he wants to do to fix it, hes focused on this. And Senator Vance talked about the need to create stories in order or to take a story that he heard from a constituent in order to focus the Medias Attention on the problem of illegal immigration. This isnt having that effect. What hes doing is focusing attention on something that isnt happening and causing people to wonder what exactly the point is and so i dont think you should be surprised is my point. Because weve seen this now for a decade and it never changed. So this is also, david, these are not not undocumented immigrants. Theyre not illegal. They are under temporary protected status. They are here correct. Legally. They have documents so they could work legally. So if theyre trying to redirect attention to the border, this is not an applestoapples thing. Of course it is not. This is part of the former president s standard political playbook. Which at times has worked for him. It is not working for him now. And if you wonder why his Running Mate is going along with it because it has proven successful in the past and i think the way they look at it, it could prove successful now and into the future. I dont think there is anything beyond it than that. I hear you. I find it hard to swallow today especially, or even just recently after the first Assassination Attempt. You know, these are people who are now intimately aware that words can have ties to actions. That what you say out there can have a real life effect. Donald trump had a very close brush with death over the summer. And may have had one On Sunday if that man was not found by the Secret Service. Maybe. Words have ties to actions. And yet they are still going out there and saying this about haitian immigrants. It seems like truth be damned, their safety be damned, peter. I think the fact that the Bomb Threats happened in the same week as the apparent Assassination Attempt, speaks to the culture of political violence right now. Where it is deemed to be part of our landscape. President trump was asked last week if he denounced the Bomb Threats given a chance about our border and he didnt. He said i dont know anything about it and he said how terrible it was that all of the immigrants were there. And if a small community has xv thousand people to 20,000 people and there will be a strain on services and so on. But the way to have that conversation is not to make up stories just to get attention. Obviously making up stories about petting being eaten is a way of driving emotion rather than dealing with an issue. And j. D. Vance acknowledged that in his conversation On Sunday. But youre right to say that they, former President Trump put out an Email Today citing all different ways that democrats have said things that he doesnt like. That he thinks arguably encourage people to take violence against him. Very few of which would be, you know, the things that he wouldnt say about them. He said, you know, he quotes them saying well hes a threat to democracy. He said that about them all of time. In the very same interview this morning to fox, he said, they are the ones who sent this guy if effect by think rhetoric. He said they are trying to destroy the country and they are the enemies within. Well where is the boundary on language. Certainly hes not the one setting the boundary that he hopes other people will aspire to. Peter Baker And David trucker, thank you. I know we talk about this for years now. It doesnt get any easier.

We are just months away from the fouryear anniversary of the January 6. Four years. Which means were now just 50 days away from the next president ial election. And if you are wondering what might happen if Donald Trump loses again, specifically what January 6 truthers might do in response, the atlantics Hannah Rosen has a story you should hear. Joining us now, host of Radio Atlantic and cohost of the podcast, we live here now. Hannah rosen. I have to say. I listened to the whole article this morning, the atlantic offered a listening option, and i was just i found myself speechless at The End of it. You really took me on a ride. And not to give it away too much, but ill get the exposition out of the way. You found out recently, relatively recently that you were living next door to the mother of Ashli Babbitt, the wife of a man named ruffin, who was the first guy to be arrested and then charged for January 6. And then one other woman and they are January 6 sympathizers, they become martyrs in the world of January 6 truthers. When you found yourself and your Partner Lauren befriending these women, just give me what was it like . What did you learn . It was a double ride. I mean on the one hand, we got very close to how history gets remade. What is the January 6 truther movement. How does it work. What does it mean to defy these prisons in jail are political principlers and decide that Ashli Babbitt is a martyr. So we got close to the politics of it. On the other hand we got close to the human beings. Nicki whit lost her only daughter and is wrecked by grief. So there is no way of reconciling those two things that we got close to both of them at once. You, in it, you describe the pod, the January 6 pod that a lot of the convicts from January 6 are placed together in, in this d. C. Jail. I was so surprised that theyre placed together. Because i thought one of the cardinal rules of prisons is that you dont put sympathizers together because you dont want them to radicalize Each Other. And you discover that is what is happening. You and me both. Yes, that is one of the more alarming things that we came upon. There is a segregated wing in the d. C. Jail where a lot of the January 6 detainees are held together and what happens when you hold people with sympathetic views together, theyre views become deeper and more radical. Were entering this picture four years on, as you mentioned and one of people that call out into a vigil every night are repentant or feel story for what they did and talk about how January 6 was terrible and it is become this enclosed bubble of of belief that January 6 was a Glorious Revolution and people in prison are unfairly in principle and if you recognize that language because it is the same language that Donald Trump uses about himself. He has virtually fused his identity with this movement that were talking about. Well you talk about one relatively young person, a 30yearold who was arrested and had to go to jail for sometime and was a low level guy. Didnt was put off by the violence of that day but still found himself in the capitol with his legs up on a Lawmakers Chair smoking a joint. But after he gets out of prison, he finds that he wants to be violent. That he wants to impress the guys who went in there, you know, with the guns off to the side or the cache of guns in their hotel room. He wants to be one of the guys that was more hard core from January 6. Yes. So when youre look forward hannah, and thinking what might happen if Donald Trump loses again, what do these conversations tell you about what might happen if Donald Trump loses again . Well the conversation i had with this particular person was quite alarming. I mean, it is entire episode of we live here now. Which is the podcast that takes place inside of the Patriot Pod in the d. C. Jail. And i asked him explicitly, what doing to happen on January 6, 2025, what happens if Donald Trump loses . And he gives me the answer that you dont want to hear. Because in his time in the Patriot Pod, he did come to believe not only that the people in there were fierce, the people who came with guns, but they were heroes of a sort. Another era of founding fathers. So there is really a Val Orization of what happens on January 6 that has only gotten stronger over the years. It is scary, this piece and i have yet to tart start the podcast because i think it is fascinating and im excited to start it because despite all of the tension and the apprehension about the future, you do hit on something about a way out of this. Some you get to redemption and how lauren was able to connect with Ashli Babbitts mother through all of her anger, through all of her sadness and come to come to a place of recognition and understanding. Tell me about that. Yes. That is ultimately what we stumbled towards in this year long journey. I cant call it a kumbaya moment. But when you have a neighbor who has lost a child and who is in grief and you keep talking and talking and maybe some of us have had this experience and you just cant help it. We are humantohuman and we started out with one view of this person and we ended up with a completely different view of her politics. Of her as a person. I mean, again, it does not change everything in the world but given how little the two sides talked to Each Other, particularly with an issue as divisive as January 6, it is a tiny little miracle what happened. It is just something different to watch two people kind of come closer to Each Other in this way. That is why it is a great story telling. Because again you start off with one view of a person and by The End of the story you have another view of her. I suggest everybody go out and read it. It is in the atlantic today. And the accompanying podcast, we live here now. Hannah rosen, wish i had a longer with you. Wish i had a podcast. Well do one together one day. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Hey hey brought my plusone. Jamie . In person, early voting starts this week in the state of virginia. And the polls are tightening everywhere, including some unlikely places like iowa and alaska. Meanwhile, vp Kamala Harris is in d. C. Today meeting with one important group that has yet to endorse any candidate. Joining us now, john nichols. Last week you said that Iowa Wouldnt like this this racist lie that Donald Trump is spreading. It doesnt speak to the midwest and i thought iowa, im not so sure and then low and behold there was a Des Moines register poll that shows that Kamala Harris is still behind Donald Trump, but President Biden was doubledigits behind Donald Trump in the state of iowa as you could see. This is harris now. And this is the same thing that is happening in alaska where shes now singledigits behind Donald Trump in that state which hasnt gone to a democrat in tens of decades and decades. So what is happening, john . Well, look, there is something real happening out there. And i dont know about alaska. Ive reported from there and im a little cautious about imagining that it is going all the way over to a potential harris win. But there is a lot being shaken up. Part of it has to do with harriss very successful appearance in the debate. But part of it also has to do with an enthusiasm on the part of democrats and leaning independents and that is what youre seeing in iowa. Iowa voted for Barack Obama by a comfortable margin in 2008 and 2012. The democratic operations there really did hit some hard times in the ensuing election. But there are still a lot of democrats there. And what youve seen with this latest poll, i think, is evidence that they are coming home to some extent. Also that theyre kind of drawing in some of the independents who might lean democratic. And Des Moines does a good poll. They do a very good poll. Let me ask you about the teamsters. That is who Kamala Harris is meeting with today. What is going to happen. They met and it looks like theyre saying they might have a decision on an endorsem as soon as wednesday. He met with leaders with the union as well as Rank And File members as part of a long process and they say theyre going to gather more data over the next day or so. But we could see, it is quite reasonable to suggest that we could see a Teamster Endorsement this week. John nichols, good to have you, thank you very much. And officials will brief the public again at 4 00 p. M. On where the investigation is into at Parent Assassination on Donald Trump stands and what more we could learn.

The fbi is investigating the second apparent attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump and already some republicans are saying the agency is not to be trusted. Senator Mike Lee tweeted this morning, dont trust the feds while Congresswoman Marjory Taylor green implied there is an organized effort to kill the former president. Quote, these are not lone wolves, and quote, there is a conspiracy to murder Donald Trump. Joining us now, Nbc News Capitol Hill correspondent, ali vitali. So ali, what evidence do they have of a conspiracy . Or that they shouldnt trust the feds . None, but this is a continuation of what weve seen from trump allies in congress, not just before not just after what happened in butler, pennsylvania, katie, but even before this. There was deep sewing of mistrust among members of Law Enforcement agencies. Weve heard, for example, attorney general Merrick Garland over the course of the last few months and years remind that the men and women who work within the Department Of Justice systems are not corrupt. They are not partisan, they are not out to get any member of the political system. And yet, you see republicans continuously and systemically demonizing parts of Law Enforcement. Certainly, thats what youre seeing when you pull those examples from senator Mike Lee and Congresswoman Marjory Taylor green, but its not going to be helpful, especially not as congress, on the house side, is attempting to undertake a soberminded and bipartisan effort into investigating what happened in butler and potentially also including in that investigation, now what almost happened down in palm beach. All right. Ali vitali, well keep an it, i guess, thank you. Coming up next, that Press Conference down in palm beach. The fbi will be updating us on the apparent attempted assassination.

The secret Service And Fbi are about to brief reporters on their latest from the investigation into the apparent attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Joining us now, former Secret Service special agent, cheryl tyler. Really great to have you. A lot of talk has been out there about the perimeter and what the Secret Service should or should not be doing. Do they just need more funding. Do they need to be upgrading Donald Trump to president ial status in order to get the perimeter they need to protect him . Thank you for having me. I think the Secret Service is at a stage in its career in history that more personnel are needed to assist with the everyday task of protecting our leaders of our country. Whether that mean they take them to the level of our present president and Vice President levels of security, thats up to their discretion. But do they need the personnel . Yes, they desperately need the additional spermt. Were in a different society now. Frank figliuzzi, a friend of show and an employee of this network, has said that the issue here is partially Secret Service needing more funding and more resources and a more singular job, and partially that there are just too many guns out there, too many highpowered guns, and that is making the job basically impossible, to keep anybody truly safe. What do you think of that . I think its a its a correct statement, but its just not affecting the Secret Service. The amount of weapons that are on The Streets, and i know thats a political Issue Skplil and a political feeling, but thats a threat to all Law Enforcement, from city to state to federal. That impacts all Law Enforcement to be prepared and be ready to deal with whatever type of weapon is coming towards them. So is this just a reality that weve got to get used to, that No One is really safe in this world, where people have access to ar15s or assaultstyle weapons and scopes, they can just go online and buy one or, you know, have a Ghost Gun printed potentially, or go to a Gun Show and get one of these with a highpowered magazine, Et Cetera . Is this just the world were living in and we need to accept it . I say, this is the world were living in. This is reality. This isnt make believe. Should we accept it . Thats a Decision Everyone has to make, because its a very sensitive issue, but the reality is, my former colleagues wake up every day to risk their life, to protect the leader of the free world. The stereotypes of weapons that they are being confronted with is enormous. And it does not stop, from Ghost Guns to long guns, to handguns. Theyre there to protect the leader of the free world. It is a difficult job than to have those types of weapons than any other type of weapon constantly in their faces. Thats a challenge. And its always going to be a challenge. How we deal with it, thats done at the voting box, but is it a risk . Yes, its a risk. Well put, cheryl tyler. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. Again, were watching out for this News Conference from the fbi and the Secret Service. Its going to start, we believe, right around 4 00. Just a little update from our reporters, Julia Ainsley and jake trailer. They say the two sources familiar with the request tell Nbc News that the Trump Campaign asked the Secret Service for increased security this morning. It is not clear how the Secret Service has responded to that request. We will watch to see if they mention anything about that today. That will do it for me right now
