00:00He slightly turned his head in an unfamiliar direction that he usually doesn't at that time in a speech.

00:08And the bullet hardly struck his head.

00:11I mean, it just missed his head.

00:14And you think about that and the odds, it can only be described as a miracle.

00:21And I think he knows that.

00:22And I know millions of Americans around the country believe that and that, you know, God saved President Trump in that moment.

00:29It was just amazing to think about.

00:32And Thomas Crooks, the assassin, was killed.

00:36He was shot dead by the snipers.

00:38He was cremated.

00:41There are a lot of sort of questions about him.

00:43We don't know very much about him.

00:45And I know when I interviewed President Trump at the very beginning of this term, about February, he at that moment said, I need to know more.

00:54I deserve to know more.

00:55He said to his Secret Service people there.

00:58And then the FBI was supposed to.

01:01But there's still no information, at least that's public.

01:04Yeah.

01:04Is there anything?

01:05I mean, is he satisfied with what he's found out so far?

01:10You know, I don't want to speak for him on that because it is such a personal thing.

01:13But I do know that he has inquired with the Secret Service and the FBI.

01:19And it was earlier in the administration where he asked them, you know, I want an updated briefing on what happened.

01:24Do we know any more than when I was briefed immediately following the days after Butler?

01:28Because the Secret Service and FBI did at that time under the Biden administration, of course, come and brief the president.

01:35And so he's been briefed by his own people on the matter.

01:38And whether he's satisfied, that's only a question he can answer.

01:41I can't answer it for him.

01:42But there are so many questions out there.

01:45And I mean, you know, did he act alone, et cetera?

01:48And it's, you know, it's over a year.

01:50It's 16 months now.

01:51Yeah, I mean, those questions are definitely deserving of answers.

01:55And I understand why the public wants those answers.

01:58And I believe the president does, too.

02:00So why don't we have them?

02:03You know, it's a good question.

02:05And it's one I'd like to see the answer to.

02:07And I think all Americans would.
