Hi it's Fraser here you're about to hear a conversation I had on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump with Baccia Unger Sargan which we recorded for Spikes YouTube channel

if you weren't already aware spiked now produces regular video content from a filmed version of the

weekly spiked podcast to short video polemics and interviews with some of our favorite

thinkers like this one.

So do check out our YouTube channel and subscribe

so that you never miss anything new.

If Trump's head had been blown off on live TV,

we'd be in a civil war right now. The vast majority of political violence happens on the left,

as well as the politically violent rhetoric, and that politically violent rhetoric is against a very heavily armed other side that never

takes up arms against the people calling them violent.

Hello, I'm Fraser Myers, Deputy Editor of Spiked.

Just a few days before we recorded this, President Donald Trump survived

an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Now this earth-shattering extraordinary event is going to be probably the most talked

about thing of the presidential election and I'm delighted to be joined by Baccia Unger

to be discussing this with me. There's probably no one better that I want to be

discussing this with than Batcha. She, if you don't know her, she's written two excellent

books on the US culture war, second-class and bad news.

She's contributed to just about every mainstream media platform you can imagine.

And most exciting of all for us is she's our latest columnist at

Spiked. So Batcha thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you so much for having

me it's so great to be here with you and I'm so honored to be

part of the spiked family writing a column now thank you for that as well well thank you
