Everyone's dressed in black tie, looking their best.

And Trump and most of his administration is there.

So just paint a picture for me.

At this point, Donald Trump, the First Lady and the Vice President, J.D.

Vance and others, they're sitting at this long table, a high table at the front of the room.

There's around 2,000 attendees.

You've all hit the ground when you've heard these noises and there's a whole heap of confusion.

Just tell me about that.

They said, please, sir, because they didn't know a lot of... And Donald Trump was actually asked about that evacuation on 60 Minutes on CBS.

He sort of said that he delayed his exit in a way.

During the first assassination attempt, it seemed like he delayed his removal from the stage.

Yeah.

And of course, Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last year, his wife was actually in the room, wasn't she?

She was.

I mean, what a terrifying moment for everyone in the room, including yourself.

Well, as you mentioned, Donald Trump, he did hold this press conference about two hours later.

He was still, of course, dressed in his tuxedo.

So just explain to me how he was, what he was saying, the message that you took away from that press conference.

So, Missy, let's have a bit more of a look at the suspect and what we do know about him.

He is 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen from California.
