00:00
Police on Monday released body cam footage of the arrest of the suspect in an assassination
00:06
attempt against former U.S. President Donald Trump.
00:10
A law enforcement officer was heard telling the suspect, Ryan Routh, to take two steps
00:15
to the right and to keep walking after he got off his vehicle on the Interstate 95 highway
00:20
in Martin County, Florida on Sunday.
00:27
Police said Secret Service agents spotted Routh and fired at him in bushes near the
00:31
property line of Trump's golf course.
00:33
The suspect then fled in the vehicle, leaving behind an AK-47-style assault rifle and other
00:40
items at the scene.
00:41
He was arrested at a traffic stop the highway, about 50 miles north of the golf club.
00:47
Trump's presidential election running mate, J.D. Vance, said Trump called him after the
00:51
incident, saying that he was a little mad because the Secret Service agents had stopped
00:56
him from finishing his golf game.
00:58
I get a phone call and it says Donald J. Trump, so I answer it and he says, J.D., you're not
01:04
going to believe this, but they tried to do it again.
01:07
I said, no, they didn't.
01:09
You're joshing me.
01:10
What's going on here, sir?
01:11
And he says, no, I was playing golf and the Secret Service found somebody who was trying
01:17
to shoot me.
01:18
And I say, oh, my Lord, sir, I'm so glad you're OK.
01:21
I mean, are you doing OK or not just physically OK, but everything's fine?
01:24
He said, yeah, I'm doing fine.
01:26
And this is just who Donald Trump is.
01:27
He said, you know, I'm a little mad because I was about to make a birdie putt on the sixth
01:31
hole and they wouldn't let me finish.
01:34
And I think there are so many ways, big and small, that we have an opportunity as people
01:39
of faith to get out there and to remind people that while it sometimes seems distant and
01:44
while faith is not top of mind for so many people, the touch of God is everywhere in
01:49
our country.
01:50
We just have to look for it.
01:51
We have to pray for it and we have to make sure our fellow Americans see it.
01:55
In Washington, D.C., President Joe Biden said the Secret Service needs more help after
02:00
the assassination attempts targeting Trump.
02:02
Thank God the president's OK.
02:03
I think we got a full report so far.
02:04
We're down there tonight.
02:05
But one thing I want to make clear, the service needs more help.
02:06
And I think the Congress should respond to their needs if they in fact need more services.
02:20
The 58-year-old suspect was charged with two gun-related crimes in federal court.
02:26
More charges appear likely, but the initial charges of possession of firearm as a convicted
02:30
felon will allow authorities to keep him in custody as the investigation continues.
