00:00Just from the rhetoric, you mentioned the first lady and Jimmy Kimmel.
00:04Jimmy Kimmel's comments were, Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.
00:09And he said this days before the shooting.
00:11But there does seem to be a normalization of rhetoric about assassinating this particular president.
00:21How can this administration try to put an...
00:25So, they are trying to connect Jimmy Kimmel with the shooting on Donald Trump at the dinner.
00:32Whoa.
00:34Well, I think you heard it directly from the president on Saturday night, Aisha,
00:38that in his words, we need to recommit ourselves as a country to toning down the rhetoric
00:44and to unifying around what makes our country great.
00:48That's true of everyone who works in this White House.
00:51But as I said, it's also true of everyone who has a voice and a platform across this country,
00:56whether you're on television, a podcast host, you know...
01:02Damn, I've never think in my life that few of the podcast hosts would be so big right now.
01:09And they are also the news hosts.
01:11People listen.
01:12And when you have mentally disturbed individuals across the country
01:15who are listening to this crazed rhetoric about the president day after day after day,
01:21it inspires them to do crazy things.
01:23And unfortunately, it's not just the media.
01:26It is the entire Democrat Party has made their pitch to voters across the country
01:31that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy.
01:35This is what it is.
01:37Few of them are trying to do something.
01:39I don't know which team you are now, but this is so much hoax and some bad things happening in
01:46the country.
01:46He is a fascist in that they compare him to Hitler.
01:50I mean, these are despicable statements that the American people have been consuming for years.
01:54And so many mentally perturbed individuals are led to believe these words are truth
01:59and then are inspired to act on it.
02:01I have a whole host of examples that we can share with you after.
02:05It is pages and pages of major Democrat Party elected officials saying...
02:11What are you saying, man?
02:12I mean, you're just circling the things you are saying again and again and again and again.
02:18...such as Rep. Hakeem Jeffries just this April, this month, said
02:21we are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time.
02:26Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll within the administration.
02:30Senator Alex Padilla said people are, quote, dying because of fear and terror caused by the Trump administration.
02:37Senator Elizabeth Warren, President Trump is making the country look like a...
02:41You have all of this written in your paper right down there and you are reading that?
02:46What the hell is going on in the White House?
02:49...fascist state.
02:51Senator Adam Schiff saying President Trump using a dictator playbook.
02:55Senator Ed Markey calling President Trump a dictator saying that this administration's actions are authoritarianism on steroids.
03:02Governor J.B. Pritzker, never before in my life have I called for mass protest disruptions.
03:07These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.
03:11You have Rep. Presley saying we'll see you in the streets.
03:15Monica McIver, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill, we will not take this shit from...
03:20Oh, damn, this is bad.
03:22You have everything written and you are just reading it right like that.
03:26Dude, what is happening to this country?
03:29...we are at war?
03:31These are Democrat elected officials calling for war against the President of the United States and his supporters.
03:37I could go on and on, but again, when you have people in positions of power...
03:40I mean, it is not a war.
03:41It is a free country and everybody have freedom of speech, I guess.
03:46...that are saying things like this every single day for years.
03:50You are inspiring violence by people who are already mentally ill.
03:54And that's what we've seen against this President for far too long.
03:56This is not what it is.
03:58People who are already violent, they do violent things.
04:01The people who are not violent, they would never think about doing any violent.
04:05You understand what I'm saying?
04:06You understand?
04:07This is disinformation and misinformation online.
04:10There will be bite-sized clips that will go viral to the point where there are Americans in this country
04:17that believe that what happened Saturday night was staged.
04:21Yes, the suiting that happened was staged.
04:24Everybody is saying that.
04:25How a suitor can be so pointless, he cannot suit anyone?
04:30I mean, what is this happening?
04:32I'm literally suspicious on that as well.
04:35...the White House tackle that with social media companies out there, whether it's X, Facebook, Instagram.
04:42How do they work with these companies to make sure it doesn't get out of control?
04:46It's certainly a good question, Aisha.
04:48I don't have tangible answers for you on what we're doing with social media companies, if anything at all.
04:53What I will say is it's very important to us that we get the truth and the facts.
04:58Because you are doing something, right?
05:00They are doing something.
05:01They scrutinize them.
05:03They do some court cases on them and everything.
05:05...about this case and any case out there as quickly as possible to dispel some of the...
05:10They are taking down the individual journalists, individual news media reporters, everybody.
05:16They are taking down their videos.
05:17They are removing their channels and everything they can do.
05:21...that crazy nonsense that you do see running rampant online.
05:25And I think the Department of Justice and the FBI thus far have done a good job of disseminating the
05:30truth and the facts about this alleged attempted assassin.
05:34...the perpetrator in this case.
05:36And I understand he'll be arraigned in court very soon.
05:38You all see that in the Department of Justice.
05:40We'll be giving a briefing and an update later today.
05:43So as far as we're concerned, just providing maximum transparency.
05:47And hopefully people will believe the truth rather than the lies and the conspiracies that so often do go crazy
05:54on social media.
05:55Dude, what is this happening?
05:57This is all on attack on each other's, each other's rights.
06:00This is all on attack on each other's, each other's right.
