  Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Kristin Amiot with
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. Donald Trump says he'll press ahead
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: with construction of a new White House ballroom after a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: man armed with guns and knives stormed a black tied
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: dinner whether the US President was a guest. Thirty one
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: year old teacher Cole Allen was detained after he attempted
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to rush through security checkpoints at the annual White House
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: correspondence dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC. Prosecutor
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: say he'll be formally charged in the US Federal Court
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on Monday local time. He is Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: The suspect didn't get very far. He barely broke the perimeter.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: And by barely, I mean by a few feet. The
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: system worked. We were safe. President Trump was safe. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: don't think he's cooperating with investigators at this point. We
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: do not have somebody who's cooperating, I expect you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: One Secret Service agent, who was wearing a bulletproof vest,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was wounded during incident. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: said he has since been released from hospital. Donald Trump
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: claimed on social media. The attempted attack justified construction of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a new ballroom at the White House, estimated to cost
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: as much as four hundred million US dollars. We've used
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: AI to bring the President's truth social post to life.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: What happened last night is exactly the reason that our
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: great military, secret Service, law enforcement, and for different reasons,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: every president for the last one hundred and fifty years
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: have been demanding that a large, safe and secure ballroom
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: be built on the grounds of the White House. This
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: event would never have happened with the militarily top secret
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: be built fast enough.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: In an interview with the American edition of Sixty Minutes,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Trump rebuffed scrutiny of security measures in place at the event,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: claiming he held up attempts to move him to safety.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Me. I wanted to see what was happening, and I
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: wasn't making it that easy for him. I wanted to
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: see what was going on, and by that time we
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: started to realize maybe it was a bad problem, different
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: kind of a problem, bad one. And I was surrounded
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: by great people, and I probably made them act a
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: little bit more slowly. I said, wait a minute, Wait
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: a minute.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Let me see authorities believe Cole Allen was targeting members
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. Alan wrote an anti Christian manifesto
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in which he referred to himself as a friendly federal
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: assassin and stated he was quote no longer willing to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: permit a pedophile, rapist, and a traitor to code my
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: hands with his crimes. Trump lashed out at sixty minutes
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: reporter Nora O'Donnell after she read parts of Allan's manifesto
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to him, You're horrible people.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't reap anybody. Excuse me, I'm not a pedophile.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: You read that crap from some sec person. I got
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: of the plate are the ones that were involved with
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: let's say Epstein or other things. But I said to myself,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: you know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably read
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: the manifesto. You know it's a sick person, but you
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: any of those things.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Excuse me, you shouldn't be reading that on sixteen minutes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: You're a disgrace. But go ahead, let's finish the interview.
• 3:45

  Speaker 1: Trump said, if Iran wants to negotiate, it can pick
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: up the phone.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: We have all the guards. We're not going to spend
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: fifteen hours in aeroplanes all the time going back and
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: forth to be giving a document that was not good enough.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: So we'll deal by telephone and they could call us
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: any time they want.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Again, we have all the guards.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: They have no military left. Practically, they have no leaders left.
