INCIDENT ON DEMOCRATS. GARRETT HAAKE IS IN MICHIGAN.
>> Reporter: TONIGHT,
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
THANKING OFFICERS WHO
CAUGHT THE SUSPECT IN
THE APPARENT
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
AGAINST HIM AND
DESCRIBING THE
ALARMING MOMENTS ON
HIS GOLF COURSE.
>> ALL OF THE SUDDEN
WE HEARD SHOTS BEING
FIRED IN THE AIR, AND
I GUESS PROBABLY FOUR
OR FIVE.
SECRET SERVICE KNEW
IMMEDIATELY IT WAS
BULLETS.
AND THEY GRABBED ME.
>> Reporter: AN AGENT
HAD FIRED ON THE ARMED
SUSPECT WHO WAS ABLE
TO HIDE IN THE BUSHES
UNDETECTED BY SECRET
SERVICE FOR NEARLY 12
HOURS.
TRUMP REVEALING A
PHONE CALL FROM
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND
LATE TODAY VICE
PRESIDENT HARRIS SAID
SHE ALSO CALLED HIM.
>> I CHECKED ON HIM TO
SEE IF HE WAS OKAY.
AND I TOLD HIM WHAT I
HAVE SAID PUBLICLY.
THERE IS NO PLACE FOR
POLITICAL VIOLENCE.
>> IT WAS NOT
FIREWORKS.
IT WAS POP POP, POP
POP.
>> Reporter: STEVE
WITKOFF WAS GOLFING
WITH TRUMP AND HEARD
THE AGENT FIRE ON THE
SUSPECT AS THEY STOOD
ON THE FAIRWAY.
HOW QUICKLY DOES THE
SECRET SERVICE ACT?
>> TWO SECONDS, MAYBE
THREE.
THE ENTIRE TEAM
CONVERGED ON HIM
EXCEPT FOR THE
SNIPERS.
HE IS THE PRIORITY AND
HE IS THE PROTECTEE,
AND THEY HAD HIM OFF
IN 20 SECONDS.
>> Reporter: THIS IS
THE SECOND ATTEMPT ON
TRUMP’S LIFE IN NINE
WEEKS.
TRUMP BLAMES
DEMOCRATIC RHETORIC
AGAINST HIM AND SO
DOES HIS RUNNING MATE.
>> NO ONE HAS TRIED TO
KILL KAMALA HARRIS IN
THE LAST TWO MONTHS.
AND TWO PEOPLE HAVE
TRIED TO KILL DONALD
TRUMP IN THE PAST
COUPLE OF MONTHS.
I’D SAY THAT’S PRETTY
STRONG EVIDENCE THAT
THE LEFT NEEDS TO TONE
DOWN THE RHETORIC.
IT NEEDS TO CUT THIS
CRAP OUT.
>> Reporter: THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN POINTING TO
COMMENTS LIKE THESE AS
STOKING FEAR.
>> DONALD TRUMP IS AN
EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO
OUR DEMOCRACY AND OUR
MOST FUNDAMENTAL
FREEDOMS.
>> Reporter: WHILE
DEMOCRATS ARGUED
TRUMP’S RHETORIC
SPARKED THE JANUARY
6th ATTACK AND THAT
HE’S USED HEATED
LANGUAGE AGAINST THEM.
>> IF WE DON’T WIN ON
NOVEMBER 5th, I THINK
OUR COUNTRY IS GOING
TO CEASE TO EXIST.
>> AND GARRETT, THE
FORMER PRESIDENT ABOUT
TO TAKE THE STAGE NOW.
THIS WILL BE HIS FIRST
RALLY SINCE THE
APPARENT ASSASSINATION
ATTEMPT.
>> Reporter: THAT’S
RIGHT, LESTER.
THIS CROWD HAS BEEN
CHANTING "FIGHT,
FIGHT, FIGHT," MR.
TRUMP’S RALLYING CRY
AFTER THAT FIRST
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.
BUT UNLIKE THEN, WHEN
HE BRIEFLY SPOKE OF
UNITY, HIS CAMPAIGN IS
REJECTING THE PREMISE
THAT HE NEEDS TO DO
