Assassination attempt against Donald Trump, said to be stonefaced during his arrest and then again in court. The Secret Service and the fbi now digging into his criminal past, his potential motive, and trying to figure out how to stop something like this from happening again. Trump himself wasting no time pointing fingers, blaming democrats in a new interview, insisting the suspect was acting on, quote, rhetoric from the President And Vice president despite a lack of evidence supporting that claim.

Nonstop on cable news. Not just on cable news. We are hearing the very same thing from elected officials including some republican elected officials. We are hearing it from the leaders of federal Law Enforcement agencies and of the intelligence agencies. We are hearing it from the pentagon. Just this week the new Secretary Of Defense ordered the entire u. S. Military to, quote, stand down while investigators cleanse the ranks of political extremists. And of course we are hearing it from the Business Establishment from wall street from the Tech Monopolies from the massive multinational corporations that increasingly control the contours of american life. All of them are now on the hunt for political extremists. And at one level that does not sound bad. Because no sane person is for political extremism, especially violent extremism. We are against it. Were for moderation. We are for incremental change. We are for the consent of the governed. We said that every day for four years and we m

Martha good afternoon. Im Martha Maccallum in new york. Theres 22 americans who have been killed so far. We hope that number will not go higher at this point. We also now know that there are 17 confirmed missing americans and the white house now confirms that a number of them are hostages which raises a number of questions about the back and forth and the understanding that those individuals are indeed being held by hamas. So hamas is using at least 100 people as Human Shields or leverage for their cause inside of gaza city. These are the terrified Family Members of those that are kidnapped and those who are defined as missing. Watch this. Theyre not part of this war. Citizens and civilians should not be taken. The number 1 message were trying to convey is that time is critical. She was shouting, mommy, they shout at us. Were all wounded. Theyre taking children, women, back to gaza to use as Human Shields.
