Hey guys, welcome to another huge episode of Trigger.

Today's going to be an important one.

We're sitting down with author and journalist Selena Zito, who has a new book out, Butler,

the untold story of the near assassination of Donald Trump and the fight for America's

Heartland.

She was literally standing only feet away as bullets flew over her head and from the stage

when the gunshots began nearly a year ago today.

In the book, Selina zooms out and tells us the story of the battle of America's heartland

and the issues that actually motivate voters.

To understand how and why my father won the 2024 election,

you have to understand places like Butler, Pennsylvania.

There's so many of these towns that really house

the forgotten men and women that we talk about all the time

that are such an important and critical

part of why my father did all of this. There are moments that define America. The late afternoon

hours of July 13th, 2024 was one of them. And there's still a lot of unanswered questions about

that day, including emotive, key findings from the congressional report, including significant failures in the security plan for the day of the rally.

Another example, investigators found that the building from which the shooter fired was identified as a concern due to its clear and obvious line of sight to the stage.

Yet, it was not properly secured or monitored.

That stuff doesn't happen. It's not supposed to happen.

That's a major breakdown.
