| 0:05.2 | All right. I want to take you back in time to a story that happened, what, about a year ago, |
| 0:10.8 | and that was the major assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. |
| 0:17.1 | You know, the one where luckily he moved his head a little bit and that bullet hit his ear instead of taking his head off. |
| 0:24.1 | We now know that six Secret Service agents have been suspended over that Donald Trump assassination attempt. |
| 0:32.3 | Now, let me give you some of the facts on this so you understand what this means. |
