Let's get Sachs' reaction. Sachs, where were you when this occurred? and your thoughts on the event itself. And obviously, there's tons of conspiracy theories going around right now. Obviously, there is some negligence that occurred here. I don't think there's any doubt about that. There's a DEI angle. There's a ton of angles here. But where were you when you saw this happen?

And what was your immediate thought?
And what was your immediate thought?
We were one inch away from the president of the United States having his head shot You know, he's got grandkids, he's got a wife, he's got kids, he's got friends. How do you feel about the individual? His head was almost shot on television in front of thousands, hundreds, maybe thousands of people on live television. And the gravity of this, I think, is very significant.

And I think we've in this media saturated environment, we've processed it too quick, which is why on the docket I wanted to slow down here and just take in what happened.

It certainly was an amount of bravery and a bold response. I do think this the next phase of this is sort of figuring out what happened with the Secret Service as brave as it was for him to stand up. That was a crazy thing to do. I can't believe the Secret Service allowed him to get back up because there could have been a second shooter.

And although we heard radio chatter that the shooter was down, I mean, how did you know in a situation like this what's actually happening? They could have gotten a second shot off on the president. Maybe they don't miss by an inch that time and then they hit it. So we got a lot of questions that need to be answered here. Thank God he's OK. And I think I guess now it's time to talk about rhetoric.

And I think that's actually, from my perspective, you know, the next thing that has to happen here in terms of leadership, when something this tragic happens, you know, everybody's looking at the other side's rhetoric here, whether it's putting Trump on a magazine cover as Hitler, or they're saying you got to fight like hell, or the Oath Keepers and all this January 6th nonsense and beating up cops.

I think we have to put both of these things aside. And the leadership, Trump and Biden, should be saying right now that, And leadership does start at the top. This rhetoric is not to be done anymore. People have to tone things down. You could be passionate about politics, but using violent language, there are sick people in the world.

And this kid, I think it will ultimately turn out like all the other assassins we've seen or these celebrity killings that occur, John Lennon, et cetera. It's usually a mentally ill person. Likely what happened here, we don't know yet. You know, they interpret violent language differently than a normal person.

So we could say fight like hell or target or, you know, you got to fight for your country, whatever it is. And we would take it a certain way. Sick people take it a different way. And they need to put out a joint statement and just say, anybody on our teams who uses violent rhetoric is no longer on our teams and they haven't done that.
