  Speaker 2: the weekend is set to appear in court as new

  Speaker 2: photos reveal the suspects smiling with guns and knives just

  Speaker 2: minutes before the attack.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Chailey Painter here with the details.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Hey Todd, good morning. So at today's detention hearing, prosecutors
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: will ask the judge to keep Cole Allen behind bars
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: while he awaits charges on attempting to assassinate the President.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: In new court filings, prosecutors include this selfie Alan took
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: of himself in the hotel room minutes before the attack.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: The thirty one year old is seen smiling with at
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: least one knife strap to his body, as well as
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: a leather bag with ammunition. Prosecutors say that shortly before
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: taking the pictures, Allan visited a number of websites confirming
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the President's presence at the dinner and before making his
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: way downstairs and charging a security checkpoint with a shotgun, handgun,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: and multiple knives. Here you can see a close up
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: of the many weapons Alan had on him. Investigator say
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Alan fired a single shot from the shotgun in the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: direction of the ballroom before being tackled and arrested. They
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: also say a Secret Service agent was hit before returning
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: five shots which did not strike anyone. While the court
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: filings are unclear on how the agent was struck, according
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to a report from CBS, that agent was not hit
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: by friendly fire.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Do you expect any changes to the Usccret Service moving forward?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And I wanted to be agreeing that.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Next yesterday, Vice President Jade Vance, who of course was
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: at Saturday's dinner, told our Will Kine how well he
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: thought the Secret Service performed.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Watch.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: The thing that I really gained an appreciation for, Will,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: is what an amazing job the agents of the Secret Service.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: Do you saw?
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: They went right to me, They went right to the
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: President of the United States. They put their lives in
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: harm's way. It's easy to forget that the reason they're
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: there is for nights like what happened Saturday night. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I just feel very grateful to him and very great
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: for what they do, and frankly grateful to God that
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: that agent who was shot was not seriously hurt.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And CBS is also reporting that sources tell them that
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: not only was that shot that struck the Secret Service
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: agent not friendly fire, it was also likely that it
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: hit his cell phone that was tucked inside a pocket
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of his bulletproof best and of course, thankfully that agent
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: was not seriously hurt.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Carly, I'll send it, but do you.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: My goodness, a bulletproof fast and a well placed cell phone,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: all of this could have been so much worse, Chanley
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Painter life for us. Chandley, thank you. Let's bring in
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: criminal de sense attorney David Gelman.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: David, great to see you. Thank you for joining us.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: This selfie photo.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: He hasn't entered a plea yet the suspect if it
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: is not guilty. I mean, how do you defend against
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: something like this.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: It's going to be pretty difficult. I mean, look, that's
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: not a great photo at all. It's not He shouldn't
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: be using that in tender, that's for sure. But if
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: you think about it, this all shows that number one,
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: this is premeditated. This was just a horrible act to
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: begin with, and he took steps to make sure that
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: he got close enough to the president and other members
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: of the cabinet to try to actually execute his disgusting,
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: horrible plan. So I don't know how you're going to
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: be able to defend against it. He's probably going to
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: use some type of mental issue. I don't think that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: going to be able to work, though, because the preparation
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: that he did. Remember, he staked out the President, he
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: looked at where the White House correspondents dinner was going
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: to be. He traveled across country on a train with
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: weapons and all these different things to prepare to do
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: the horrible act that he tried to do.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and the round that struck the Secret Service agent
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: is now being reported as not coming from friendly fire.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: That's how it's being warded right now. Dive into that
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: and how that impacts things.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Well, it's going to be kind of big because think
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: about it, he's the one who actually used a shot.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: He's shot I think what six times are saying, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: that wasn't friendly fire, which is good because that was
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: always a question in the beginning, was this a friendly fire?
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Because you saw multiple agents were using their guns as
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: well to try to stop.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: This individual, potentially one round from him and then five
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: or six from the Secret Survey agents. In response to that,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: his court appearance today, what's going to happen?
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: So it's a detention hearing. Now, if I'm the defense attorney,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: I'm probably going to just waive it. But I don't
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: know what his public defender is going to do, because
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: there is no way he is going to be able
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: to get out out of prison today, out of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: detention facility, because the judge is going to be looking
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: at number one, is he a threat? I think the
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: answer is very clear. He tried to assassinate the president
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: and other cabinet officials, so I think the threat level
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: is incredibly high. So I don't think there is any
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: way that he is going to be getting out today.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: The other thing that we want to talk to you
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: about is James Colemy because he turned himself in yesterday
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: and appeared in federal court after being charged with that
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: eighty six forty seven Instagram post.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Here's what the President said about the charge. Watch this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: People like Kombie have created tremendous danger, I think for
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: politicians and others.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So he did not enter a plea yesterday. How do
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you see this one playing out?
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: So carly, it's going to be interesting. James Comy, he's
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: obviously professional, he's an attorney, and he's got very good
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: attorneys with them. They didn't do a plea for a reason.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: They want to see what the evidence is. Because they
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: don't have the evidence yet, and we don't have the evidence,
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: we don't know what's going on. This is going to
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: be a very long case in my opinion. But the
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: government has a ton of evidence. They got witnesses, they've
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: gone through the phones and records, and they did a
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: ten month investigation on James Comy. At the end of
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: the day, I think James Comy is going to have
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: a lot of issues.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: So there's going to be even more evidence and pictures
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: and statements other than that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Beach post that we've all seen.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: This is just the beginning.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: So obviously we have free speech in this country.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Violent rhetoric does not cover that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: But I think the question would be would that fall
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: under the violent rhetoric that free speech doesn't cover.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: I think it does. Now, Look, you're going to have
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: to look at, or jury's going to have to look at.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: If you think about it, what a reasonable person believe
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: that that eighty six forty A is violent rhed eric?
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Would that incite violence? Now? In my opinion, yes, I
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: think it certainly would, because anybody in the right mind
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: knows what does eighty six mean? It means to get
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: off means to kill, all right, and he can't say, oh,
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: I just happen to see this on a beach walking
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: down there one day. Come on, that's ridiculous, got.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: It, all right, David Gelman life for us. Thank you
