Transcripts For FOXNEWS Sunday Night in America With Trey Go

Sunday night in america. This is a Fox News alert. The another Attempt On the Life Of W Former President Donald Trump. Es this time in West Palm beach, florida, and this time the shooter is alive. The investigation is ongoing and former President Donald Trump is safe after the Secret Service fired on an individual near his trump international Golf Course. Then on the Golf Course with tim former President Trump, he wase present at the time, there were parts of the course exposed. I i noticed that even while we were pulling. Speak with the golf the golfets courses surrounded by shrubbery they get in the shrubbery. They are pretty much outside. At this level he is at right now, he is not the sitting president. If h we was, we would have the error in a around it but hes not and the security is limited to the areas of the Secret Service deems possible. So i would imagine the next time he comes in the Golf Course, there will probably be a littlprobe more people arod the Perimeter. This it is clear the Politicaler Rhetoric is skyhigh when yousoe repeatedly refer to someone as antidemocratic and a threat to freedom and right Rationall Hy people know what is rational hyperbole. Like trying to murder Someonee H for political reasons. The jitter is being questionedod but of course he may not cooperate and cannot be forced to answer questions. Wo regardless, this is to 2 shootings in two months. Trump was struck by a bullet. Narrowly avoiding a catastrophic event in pennsylvania and 15 was not hurt in a second attempt but not due to lack of effort. Nts it took 24hour for political opponents to return to old ways last time. We will see whether the Secondmp Assassination Attempt changes anything. For more on this unfoldingthis situation, we are joint first on the phone by Thi Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina who displayed this Golf Course with a President Trump multiple s times and spoke with him this afternoon. Welcome, senator graham. Stop thank you, trey, i am very, very grateful for so stop. I appreciate the details, bute there were so many questions how did this happen in the Passion Y it did . So my day started, i did Fox News sunday and after the show, President Trump called and he was about to go play golf but i couldnt get there. Sup i was supposed to play, but i couldnt get down. And he said we talked a little bit lit about politics. Lh i said, forget about all that and go enjoy yourself and do a round of golf. So later on, a couple of hours later or whenever it was, he called me and he said, hey, im around surrounded by cops. They have a guy with an ak47. He didnt know the real details, but shots were fired. He praised the Pra Secre E Secret Service, but they had hai him taken off of the course. He the said, there is like 500 s around. And saidi said, are you okay . And i said yeah, but hes quite a guy, i can say and a im just very grateful that the worst w that happened and im upset this could happen again. What you said about lowering the rhetoric and engaging differently is absolutelyey essential. Trey i am not on The Oneou hand surprised at all he would ldtell you that he was to to henri. I noticed when playing it is incredibly hard to keep Someone Fromne F Shooting Someone Ifin hellbent on doing so but it sounds to me like for a guy that survived two attempts on his life in two months, he seems to be handling a lot better than i would be L Handlin Betg it. I never met anybody quite likeke h him. You know, but he was in good spirits. The good news had not broke, hei called me, you will hear it in a minute. O okay, and it was kind of hard to presabsorb that. Yoouu are getting a call from President Trump about an Attempt On his life before i it even breaks. He said i played at lunch with him, and you start off ande go around the corner and get close to the road and the highway without par3. You know, as you go around the first5 or 6th holes you go to the clubhouse and get close yoto the road and highways. All i can say is, we have an upper gang. Secret service Needs to go back to treasury. They were one of the biggestn departments of the treasury and they are small group and a large agent. We Need more resources. We Need to clean house in termsn of leadership to protect the detail or greater americans. If we dont change the way we protect our senior officials, we are making a mistake. Som the Threat Levels, there could be some crazy guy. Th i dont know it was but i know iranians have been turkey american officials. The Threat Level from iran, pompeo and all this time however happen, im just dumbfounded. Trey yeah, you mentioned to people when you when i played golf you with them, they currently have Security Details. They cant go anywhere without Security Detail because of threats from iran. I know you also noticed advanced secret Service Team that T Kindf goes ahead and there is a group with him and a group behind him. Just thank the lord the Advance Group saw this gone Througoup He Fence where you and i might be having a different conversation. Trey, amen to that and thank you for the Detective Detail and they have worked so n hard to. Change the moderator. Artm get the Secret Service back over the department of Treasury Whero they were more focused. Brian hook, i was playing for Brian Hook who was threatened by iran. Iran it was playing golf with him saturday when President Trump shot the first time. We are out on the course and it was one of the agents who Toldis Me and brian, they tried to shoot President Trump. We were scheduled to play that next day, sunday, in bedminster. This is beyond unnerving. As i was talking to President Trump, how are you doing . Very dangerous playing golf. Is vngerso you know, these guyse showing strong resolve. There is nothing funny aboutent it, but the amazing thing about President Trump, he is in good spirits. He is not going to be deterred. He will keep pushing. And i just hope we can all learn from this and calm down the rhetoric. He irans is the enemy and we are not in the me of each other. We have different political reviews but we have to turn down the Rhetoric T when it comes to President Trump. Omes Pre Trey i knowru President Trump like you personally and you played youas of golf with him. I am not at all surprised he would talk to you on the phone shortly after another Attempt O almost Attempt On his life. Im not surprised goal for two golf would tell you hes under E Thatss th the way golfers thin. Thank you for joining us Onio Usespecially short notice on suh a serious topic. Thank you, trey, god bless you. Trey Ken Forr yo valentine, welcome to you. Thank you for your service. I have this course with the president and i was the president and i noticed just how difficult it is to provide ae secure Perimeter because of the fencing and the access to the road. En they are agents ahead oft the president , agents behind, agent around himha and hard to protect someone and an open spot like a Golf Course it would seem to me. Yes, sir, thank you for having me on tonight. Golf courses present problems for the Secret Service and its noblemt just one problem that a problem every time they tee Offh And Move to a different hole. It is a moving problem but not something the secret Service Isi unfamiliar with. They had a plan. It certainly has got to be second guessed and reviewed with great scrutiny as it should be after what happened today with it sounds like the game of prevention worked. But closest to close. But is alwaytos to close. Trey you Cant Force a suspect to talk so how do you gather information to invoke hia right or im not talking to you and im not telling whether i i was alone or wolf or acting with people. I think that will be a great part of this investigation. He left behind a number of clues go through and piece together this mans life and his beliefs and any connections he had. I think they will do a great job of piecing together the days, the months, may be the years leading up to this point. But it really goes to speak Witg Senator Grandpa was talking about the Rhetoric Ioricn our country. I was glad to see him agree with Secret Service has been dying on the vine at dhs and inthey Need to be moved back to treasury. Trey that is o all three of us that agree on that. An when i worked with Secret Service, they were notea under dhs. They were part osury af treasur. And also just like other aimes, it sounds like brightest gnomic private citizens that provided incredibly important information. A car and a Tag Number is amazingly important informations in the aftermath of something like this. So kudos to whatever private citizen it was that fought them off to take a picture and get that information to the police. It is hard to use the Wordso Spectacular after something like this im so close to happening yet again. Ll but i will say, it sounds like the coordination, the communication and the effort by Law Enforcement to put swift action to the Information Thattu they were receiving was spectacular. So i want to thank them personally for for that. The but it sounds like they really had their game on. They move swiftly, this guy is in custody and that is invaluable. Trey ak47, that is not aex weapon i am familiar with excepa my name. What is it capable of doing . Because it it seems like it is capable of wreaking a lot of carnage had that Weapon Actualle been able to be used. In ak47 is a special weapon. It is most known used by the russians and allies. It can wreak a lot of havoc. What is good without a scope up to about 400 yards. And Add A scope and you are talkingp about a Devastating Weaponon Wih a very long range. The fact that hetive had one ist terribly surprising. They are very common in the u. S. And easy to get your hands on. You can load those with a lot of ammo, magazines 30 or 40 rounds and multiple magazines are easy to come by. It is a very capable weapon. It is a big ground. If you could be hit by an ak47 and not likely to survive. So it is a devastating weapon with a devastating round and he had a scope on his. Chan unlike butler, he did not get a chance to put specific grounds downrange. Secrso thankfully, the o secret Service Team that Wasut T in front on the Perimeter ofer ioPresident Trumps area were ae to engage him before Hworke Coud bring or protect the focus with that scope. Pe. The one you are right. We also have to offernc credit, credit to this Advance Team for spotting this Photo And Credit to the individual citizen for providing information. Thank you for joining us on an important evening, valentine. Eco yes, sir. Trey former Director Of National Intelligence john ratcliffe. Lets say youre deep in a show or a game or the game. On a train, at home, at work. Okay, maybe not at work. Point is at xfinity. Were constantly engineering new ways to get the entertainment you love to you faster and easier than ever. Thats what i do. Is that Love Island . Trey welcome back to Sunday Night in america. Es T Iran scenting ballistic missiles to russia well rush in andwest trying to link arms against the west. Is there a new Axis Of Evil . Our next guest served in the Trump Administration on Themidd Brink of peace in the Middle East, so what happened . Joining us aer ds former directf national intelligence, wa john ratcliffe. Director, i want you to take us on a tour of the globe. But there was a shooting West Palm beach out one of President Trumps properties. You probably have been at thatta property. Details are very, very limited at this point, but i just want to get your initial reaction though the russians outpaced answers at this point. O my reaction is unfortunate what most american and what the reaction of most americans would be, im not shocked. Why would anybody be shocked at this point in time if they heari shots fired in the vicinity of President Trump given what hasss happened and given unprecedented in legal and indictments against him and legal theories pursued an actual assassination attempt, it was minimized by political opponents. Win Kamala Harris on the stage last week at a Debate Demonizeda Threat to democracy, you know, why would any of us bewoul surprised there were to continue to be potential threats on his safety and on his life like there have been in Theafet Past . Trey yeah, they wanted thee headlines after that what i call an attempted murder attempt. Im sure is a former prosecutor you do, too. 1 of the headlines thene leftleaning newspaper which may be redundant, shops gnomic shots ring out at trump rally. It was not even mention less N Inch from being killed. To your point, when you tell rational people that someone iss a threat to democracy, they know to dismiss it. When you tilt your rational People Someone is a threat tocr democracy, they actually believe it and they maacy, ty go do somb crazy, which may be what happened in florida. I think that is absolutelylu the case, trey. There was a big period after President Trump was shot in the head where 24 hours where democrats express some level of concern, but you knew it wasnt heartfelt. Like i said, 24 hours later, they were back Tomocr Demonizing him and saying thing that may have led Thomas Crooks to shoot him i sinn the first po to hear these things happening today, Given Everything President Trump has phased, everything they have thrown up, very clearly, the democrats position is we have al to stop Donald Trump at all cost. When you hear their nominee for the presidency say that in h Kamala Harris, these are the kinds of things that dont surpriseurpr us when we hear potential acts of violence against him. Trey in them before we leave, if im not mistaken, the head of the fbi testified before congress he didnt think it was a bullet but it might
