BETWEEN DANGER AND DEMOCRACY - On Sunday, I had the privilege of discussing the bravery of the U.S. Secret Service and the recent assassination attempt on Former President Donald Trump on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos. It's essential to take a tactical pause as we assess the incident. While there are serious questions to address, the bravery and heroism of the Secret Service agents and officers who neutralized an assassin and ran toward gunfire is absolutely unquestioned. Put quite simply, they put their own bodies between danger and democracy in a selfless act of devotion that borders on superhuman. But we must remember that first and foremost, they are humans. The rush to judgment serves no one. We must ensure that our analysis is thorough and just. The men and women of the USSS and their state and local law enforcement partners play a critical role in safeguarding our democracy and that mission never stops. Their dedication deserves our utmost respect and gratitude.
I have also participated in discussions on CNN with Abby Phillip, ABC in Pennsylvania and Atlanta, NBC News, EWTN, Chris Hansen, DW News Germany, Sky News UK, and others. I believe it is important in these uncertain and dangerous times to let my brothers and sisters still in harm's way know that I have your back. I believe in you. And THANK YOU.

1moGreat preparation and very well executed. I especially love how Patrick Bet-David navigates different topics and asks insightful questions. I did feel like there was a lot more to cover (and of course, Mark talked less than he knows for sure), but as always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Overall, hats off to Patrick and the entire Valuetainment team!
