Were going to bring you all the breaking developments and the senate is voting this afternoon on a bill to protect idf. But does it actually have but chance of passing or is this all about Election Year politics . Ill speak with Senator Amy Overshot this hour im dan a bash. Lets go behind the headlines and Inside Politics hitting the Trail Today for the first time. Im since the apparent Assassination Attempt at his West Palm Beach Golf Course this weekend, the former president is holding a Town Hall in, must win michigan while his Running Mate campaigns next door in wisconsin. Kamala harris, whos also in a crucial swing state, pennsylvania and Tim Walz is heading to the sunbelt with events in georgia and North Carolina today. But sadly, in 2024, politics is not the only focus of these Campaign Events with all four candidates on the trail, security is a major concern. Cnns Alaina Train joins me in. What are you hearing now, head of this firsttime actually at a Campaign Event after what happened on sunday yeah. Look, i mean, i think a lot of people are eager to see Donald Trump in person for the first time we did hear him speak Last Night during an x spaces event, but this is the first time people will be seeing him and rocks are going see what Security Looks like in the aftermath of what happened on sunday night, i spoke with a number of senior Advisers Today to Donald Trump and they told me that you should expect Security Enhancements going forward. We know that Donald Trump is continuing his schedule as planned. This week is a number of stops, including as you mentioned today, as that Town Hall in flint, Michigan Tomorrow Hell be in union dale, new York Thursday we in washington, dc and over the weekend hes traveling to wilmington, North Carolina. This was a schedule they have not changed it, but i am told they are ramping up security now they wont detail exactly what those new security measures look like. Of course, because its so sensitive of an issue right now. But they said you should see some of that on the ground today. Day in flint. Now, i do want to turn to your attention, data to what you mentioned about the rhetoric around this we are hearing Donald Trump really go on Off Thence and blame democrats, specifically Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and their language for some of the political violence that we are seeing. I want you to take a listen to what he said yesterday. On during that X Conversation this was a second attempt in your life under two months. What do you make of that well, theres a lot of rhetoric, a lot of people think that the democrats, when they talk about threat to democracy and all of this and it seems that both of these people were radical laughs now, dan, i think whats really notable about this is how different this reaction is when you look back on his immediate reaction in the aftermath of that first Assassination Attempt in butler, Donald Trump himself, but all also his team and his surrogates had all called for unity, the Republican National Convention was just after that weekend. And everyone was saying we need to be unified. Donald trump himself was saying he was a changed man. It wasnt several weeks later until he started arguing that perhaps the rhetoric from the left was responsible for this. Now youre seeing him say that immediately they are really injecting this as a key part of his campaign messaging. When i talked to his advisers, they say, you should expect the type of language from Donald Trump, but also j. D. Vance and other surrogates throughout the rest of this week. And looking ahead to November Diana landon. Thank you so much for that reporting. Im joined now by some other fantastic reporters here at the table. We will see an Nth David Chaldean the washington post, leanne caldwell, and zola. And youngs of the New York times. Hello everybody. Hello. I want to start because landa just played that soundbite from Last Night of Donald Trump saying that its the democrats rhetoric in talking about the fact that he is a threat to democracy, alleging that that was what precipitated these two apparent Assassination Attempts. And i want to go into the not very far way back machine of last week, starting a week ago today, which was the debate. And then play a couple of other clips of Donald Trump since the debate over the last week were failing nation and it happened threeandahalf years ago. And what, whats going on here . Youre going to end up in World War iii. Shes a marxs communist fascist socialise. We must stop her country destroying liberal agenda once and for all, she shouldnt be there anyway. So you got no votes to democracy this is just over the last seven days. David charlie, and we could maybe fill up the whole show with other remarks that weve heard over the last eight years. Yeah. I just question as a strategy that the Trump Campaign is looking to bring on board who voters that are not already on board is going to believe hes a credible messenger on calling out rhetoric about political violence. It, to me, its just something thats not, its not going to ring true with the voters that theyre trying to reach, or at least to me, hes a complicated messenger as you just proved on that point. So i get hes trying to coopt this and turn this around and say, hey, this is a democratic problem and try to just whitewash and erase all of his Rhetoric And Language over nine years in the Center Stage of american politics on this, i think thats a tough sell to the voters that theyre going to need and not long after the what the incident on sunday, which certainly does feel like an apparent Assassination Attempt its not me saying that thats Law Enforcement. Elon musk put something on his social media platform, x asking why Kamala Harris was also has also not been targeted. And then he deleted it j. D. Vance said something a bit different, but similar yesterday in atlanta, lets listen im not going to say were always perfect. Im not going to say that conservatives always get things exactly right. But you know, the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that we have No One has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months, id say thats pretty strong evidence that the left needs to the tone down the rhetoric. It needs to cut this crap out lan so well first, we dont know that No One has tried to kill Kamala Harris and last couple of months, this is the secret Services Job to keep people safe. There are threats on a daily basis of the president , the Vice President , elected officials, members of congress but j. D. Vance is also the person who started the false rumors. More than a week ago about springfield, ohio, the abouts false claims about the haitian immigrants there. And that has led to bob im Threats School evacuations, City Hall evacuations and a feeling of terror and that community, as far as reporting is concerned. So theres a complete Double Standard here. And i dont see that this political rhetoric on is going to die down. It seems like the Trump Campaign based on what has happened in the past couple of days is only going to continue to escalate this argument. And those comments on that, what happened in springfield after on sunday when i interviewed senator bands after i told him what the mayor of springfield had said, which is suggested saying that there is a Cause And Effect between this rhetoric and the threats that they have he pretty aggressively pushed back on any culpability on that, which he still is, whether or not theres a Cause And Effect. This has been something that federal Law Enforcement officials have been warning about for years. Now, the idea that false statements put out by Public Officials could incite violence once could encourage those to commit violence attacks. I remember after the attack on the capital in January 6th, i spent a lot of time just talking to Law Enforcement officials about just how much do you fear that this can become the norm . This being Public Officials in their statements . Encouraging people to commit violent attacks and that fear was palpable then it seems like its only becoming a norm now that being violent connected to our elections and to politics, i mean just the fact that right now you have a former President Boo . Yes. Has been the target of a Parent Assassinations twice, but is also an instigator of political violence. This is somebody that has encouraged people at his rallies to go after hecklers and his rallies. We know what happened on January 6th as well, and the encouraging other people to go to the capital and then the later attack on that calf just that fact that you have both a former president that is a Target And Instigator at this time, i think is emblematic of just the heightened Threat Environment that were in right now when it comes to political violence. And i dont think we should lose the thread that alaina pointed out, which is just the Night And Day difference in the response to the butler, pennsylvania shooting. And now what is different . Obviously, the circumstances of the two events are are totally different. He was actually leading Shot And Bleeding in like yes, i take that apart from the circumstances being different, the politics of the moment or totally different. Joe biden was his opponent at that time, and Joe Biden was losing that election. And Donald Trump was on a winning greek in that election heading into his convention, feeling very good about his prospects. The call for unity was the option for the messaging for that that is not the political position down jump finds himself in right now. He finds himself in a much more competitive race against Kamala Harris, still saving as some of those clips from last week pointed out, that she is the democratic nominee and not Joe Biden. He chooses a different kind of approach in response to this, this fingerpointing, this blaming approach, i dont think we can lose sight that his political circumstances are different. That may also have something to do with his different reaction here. Yeah, thats such a good point and i think its also important to say like all of these things can be true. Yes, that that the rhetoric has gotten way too hot across the board. There certainly seems to be more of it on one side historically than in recent history than the other. But its gotten too hot and you do have people who dont appear to be well, who have access to firearms who decide that this is an opportunity to act on whatever it is thats going on in their head. And you know, the blaming on on on politicians for this. I dont necessarily think help solve the problem. Yeah the access to firearms is really interesting. That was a topic that came up briefly after after the Butler Shooting of course, theres lots of conversations right now among the white house, among secret Service And Con Capitol Hill about about the former presence perimeter, Secret Service perimeter. How much funding Secret Service needs. But some democrats are saying we are also not talking about how many firearms are there and why someone who has access to these guns are able to get so close to a forum from our president. Well, thats a whole different conversation which has been going on for decades at this point we are following another very big story here at cnn.
