And its frightening to see violence being threatened and used in a political campaign. I worry about threats. I worry about whats being said online, about many, many people, not just the former president. And he should be doing, if he were really a leader, he should be doing what he can to calm the matters, not try to just continue to throw, you know, Red Meat out there to get people riled up. Former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton condemning the apparent Assassination Attempt on former President Trump, and also reacting To Trump placing the blame for the attack on President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Well get the latest on the suspect and also the political implications in just a moment.

and the humiliation that s come with that here in front of the whole nation. tonight we begin with how we got here, because everyone s been absorbing the days of chaos, headlines about the failure of the republican majority to get its work start in the its new congress. a story that really goes beyond politics and it s reaching people who don t always follow the swearing in or the speaker s race. if you approach this with fresh eyes as many americans have, saying what s going on over there? you may wonder why the big chaotic fight continues with rolling losses for republicans. why is it happening at the finish line of a win for the gop in the midterms? and why is the big fight in washington within one party, not between one of the typically warring factions between parties? there are many factors but three reasons loom large. first a crop of republicans who are more focused on hijacking than running. second, this trump internet industrial complex that puts the content, the tr

Thursday, night fresh from his trip to israel, President Biden addressed the country, speaking passionately about those suffering in the wars of ukraine, israel, and gaza. He speaks about the necessity for American Leadership and unity right now. American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances of what keeps us, america safe.

Thats why tomorrow im gonna send to congress an urgent budget request, to fund americas massive security needs. To support our critical partners, including israel and ukraine.
