This is CBS Eye on the World. Here's John Batchelor.

The new book is Butler. The subtitle tells the story.

The untold story of the near assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland by Selena Zito. I welcome the author

of the Washington Examiner and the Wall Street Journal to help us understand this book now. You can

pre-order at Amazon. But the story is well known, July of 2024, an attempted assassination of now President

elect Trump.

There's more to Butler County I learned, thanks to Selena.

For 200 years, it has been a subset of Allegheny County, cut off 200 years ago.

But it has enjoyed the prosperity and the hard times of America ever since.

Right now, I learned that it's about 193,000 and it's the outer edge of commuting into Pittsburgh.

So, Salina, congratulations for the book.

It will be out next summer.

We already have an understanding of what the beginning of the book. It will be out next summer. We already have an understanding of what the beginning

of the book is. It's a certain pair of cowboy boots on the ground out in Butler, right after the shots,

zinged over your head. So what is it that you discovered in the writing of this book? It was a surprise to you given that you were the cowboy boots.

Good evening, yeah.

Good evening, yes, I was just a handful of feet away from the president that day, just by happenstance, but, you know, that's how life is, right?

Everything is a happenstance.

Every little move we make is, including the president's decision to look at a chart,

has life-changing results.

You know, Butler, I've known Butler all of my life when my family, the early McJunkin family,

were one of the first families of Butler County.
