Check out Snapple.com to find ridiculously flavored Snapple near you. Welcome to TMZ Live, Harvey Levin here. Harvey Levin here. So there is a twist in the Trump assassination attempt. And it has to do with who was on that stage from the Secret Service and why. And it involves height, it involves gender, and it involves a lot of people who are very much bent out of shape in the former Secret Service world. People who were Secret Service agents, some people who are very critical of the choices that were made in the categories Harvey just mentioned. Because we saw, we all saw the video as former President Trump was being whisked off the stage, although it wasn't really whisked. And that's another thing that we uncovered as we were putting together this documentary, which is available right now on Tubi. It is called "Underfire the Trump Assassination Attempt." It's on Tubi, by the way, for free. Look at this. You notice Donald Trump's head is exposed there. And head in part of his chest? Yeah, part of his chest. And when they pick him up from the ground, and you see that picture of him where his head is exposed there, and it has to do with the fact that you look at the woman there who is a Secret Service agent who is trying to guard him, she is much shorter than him. Trump is around 6-3, there were women on that stage who were 5-5-5-6, and you can't cover somebody with that height disparity. So why were they on this detail? That is a question that a lot of people are asking people who are former Secret Service agents themselves. Here is their take on what they saw. Are you suggesting that there were women there who should not have been? That's exactly what I'm suggesting. You explained to me how all of a sudden the shift that's afforded the protective detail to President Trump, not former President Trump, half of those people are women. That is a conscious decision that was made purely for optics purposes. I can't have three women that are no smaller than 5-5 feet so that when something happens, the whole world saw what happened. When President Trump finally stands up, what do we see? Everything from chest up is exposed again. Simply because the agents assigned to the shift weren't tall enough to provide the cover that needed to be there to evacuate and safely off that stage. If you're going to stand there and measure every person and not just women, I know a lot of guys that are not even 6-foot tall that are agents. So to play the numbers game and to take us back 50 years, not a part of the game, I'm not going to play them. So it is interesting that I'm not sure the two of them necessarily even disagree because what the first guy said is that it's not so much a women issue. It is an issue of optics that you shouldn't have anybody on the stage who is significantly shorter than the ProTech T. He acknowledged that if you want to, and be honest, he may have a point there about the optics of wanting to have a balanced detail that's male and female. He's saying that should never be the case. But while he's acknowledging that if you're going to do that, that's fine if you want to do that, but make sure that they are people who are tall enough for the job. We have male and female. If you want to have the optics of we have a balanced secret service and we have just as many men as women which they don't, but maybe they want to make it look that way. Why are optics important? The same reason I think someone would say they're the same reason they're important anywhere that you want to have diversity, right? But do you want, do you can have diversity and still have people that are physically up to the test? I guess the point is it is hard finding secret service agents, women who are 6'3" and men should be disqualified according to the first guy, Rich. But the fact that women generally are not that tall disqualifies the optics may not be great, but the security is better. Yeah, look, Harvey, what he's gesturing in the direction of is DEI, which is diversity, equity, and inclusion. And these mandates to have a balanced workforce, he's saying sometimes result in a lack of protection for the actual president who they're there to guard. And he's saying if we move in this direction for optics, you're actually going to have less safety. But he's talking about she's focusing more on the overall sort of needs of a secret service agent. And you can do lots of things even if you're not 6'5". Meanwhile, what everybody is pretty much agrees on is this was a fiasco for the secret service. A whole lot of failure from hours before. Ninety minutes before. Ninety minutes before the shooting. One of the agents who just had gone off duty texted the other agents saying there's this guy, the shooter, who is sitting at a picnic table by his car and was eyeing his gun, I believe. Yeah. But the idea that and said you got to keep an eye on this guy and they lost him. But the lost track of him never actually made contact with him. And there were people who saw the gun 30 seconds before screaming, running, yelling. And to your point, 30 seconds is not a lot of time and maybe not enough time to get to him and disarm him. But at the very least, enough time on the ground. Right. That's what they could have done. Here is some of the criticism from former secret service agents. I evaluated that event that unfolded as a total breakdown in communication, a total failure for the secret service, a total lack of a cohesive, coherent and competent security plan. There was nothing good that I have to say about how those events unfolded. I know what it takes to plan an event. Whether it's an indoor event or an outside event. I know the preparations. Everything that I've seen, they did textbook. Is it a failure? No, I understand the tragedies that occurred at that site for somebody dying and losing their life in the injuries. But to protect the United States Secret Service is alive. At the end of the day, that's a win. It's hard to call that a win. I got to say, it is hard to call that a win. It was luck. Yeah. And somebody died. Right. Thanks Travis. Welcome to Memphis, Tennessee. I think this has little to do about gender and much to do about protocols. Even if you look at when they came in to protect the former president, the men did not step in front of his body first. The lady was the last one in. And so it's about protocol process and how people respond in moments of trauma. I don't think it has anything to do with DI or male or female gender. Yeah. Get it. By the way, again, the doc is called under fire, the Trump assassination attempt. It is free on 2B. We are going to move on. Thanks to Justin Timberlake and something we did not know about the night of his DWI arrest out on Long Island. After the stop, who came, I guess you would say, came to his rescue or attempted to come to his rescue. And that would be one of his friends that was in the car he was following. We knew that he had told police he was following some friends home. It was a husband and wife and he was going to their house to spend the evening when he got stopped. They had to circle back when they saw Justin got stopped and the woman got face to face with the cop. Had a very interesting conversation with the arresting officer, which very well could come into play as Justin and his lawyers, as they say, they are going to fight this. And I have a feeling this will come into play because what we found out is that the couple came back and the woman who was in the passenger seat walked over to the office. And walked over to the officer and had a conversation that was basically, "Why are you arresting Justin Timberlake?" She said, "You're going to arrest Justin Timberlake? That is a, do you know who she is? That's playing the card, do you know who he is?" And we know, of course, the officer did not know who Justin was. And then she said, "Can we just drive him home and get him home safely and you can forget about it?" But she is in his face as they're talking, so he had an eyesight and he could smell if there was something to smell. The officer could, as this woman is talking to him. Here's the twist. So they said, "No, we are arresting Justin Timberlake," and they took him away, but they allowed her to drive his rental car back to her home. So this person we found out was actually at the same hotel where Justin was before he left. And as he admits, he had one martini is what he told police. Well, the person, the woman who was in that passenger seat, she was at the hotel long before Justin was. Two hours before, and she was drinking. So what we're told is that Justin's lawyer at Burke Jr. is going to raise this issue and say this woman should not have been driving a car. And if the officers let her drive, how good were they at evaluating anything, and it just puts their credibility into question, that's going to be the argument. But it is a really clever argument. I'm not sure at the end of the day it makes the difference being guilt or innocence for Justin. What it does is it puts a lot of pressure on authorities to potentially settle the case for a lesser charge or plea down to a much lesser charge than he sort of drunk driving offense. And that's really where Justin wants the thing to end anyways, so it really does play in their favor. Yep, and there's a hearing on Friday, and I believe they are going to raise this and other issues. I doubt this case is going to get dismissed, I think Jason's right, that if he can get a reckless driving out of this, it's a win for Justin. Right. I'm Drew Moore, East Island, Illinois, and my opinion, the cops are wrong for it, not evaluating the friend, letting her drive off, but not Justin Timberlake. She put other people live in danger as well as her own life, and it will just alludes for the cops, they didn't do their job. That's what Justin and people are going to say. That's the way you get a plea bargain. Yeah. Okandis Cameron-Barre is not a fan of the Olympics, or at least how it started. She says she's still watching the games because she wants to support Christian athletes. You know, of course, the Full House actresses are very devout Christian and is never afraid to speak up about it. But she saw something during the opening ceremony of the Olympics that she just felt, well, in her words, she said, this broke God's heart. This particular scene as part of the opening ceremony, which was almost five hours long, by the way. But this scene was, in the eyes of Candace and several other people, a depiction of the Last Supper. It's not, you get it, right? You kind of get it, except I don't see a Jesus-like person there. You don't see a lot of people from the traditional. Exactly, which is why the Olympic people, the organizers, said this was not the Last Supper. And Candace felt like the fact that she thought that they were depicting the Last Supper and that there were drag queens that were involved. And that's really what she's upset about here, right? I mean, that's how to do it. So is she saying that the drag queens are not godly? I think so. I think that is exactly what she's saying. Why? Don't put it on me. I'm not challenging you. I want to know why. Here's what she said. To watch such an incredible and wonderful event that's going to take place over the next two weeks and see the opening ceremonies completely blaspheme and mock the Christian faith with their interpretation of the Last Supper was disgusting. And it made me so sad. And someone said, "You shouldn't be sad. You should be mad about it." And I'm like, "Trust me, it makes me mad, but I'm more sad because I'm sad for souls." She is, by the way, I don't want to make this seem like she is the only one. There are several Christian groups that posted things about this. Donald Trump Jr., Elon Musk also spoke out about it. They felt like this was a step too far on the part of the Olympic organizers. And they have re-imagined. Now, all things involving religion over the years in so many different ways. You see the guy in blue there? Yeah. And this is the response to the criticism about this being the Last Supper. What the Olympic organizers were saying, this was not about the Last Supper. This was that blue figure there supposed to be Dionysus, the God of Wine, the Greek God of Wine. That's right. So I guess there's other artwork that depicts some kind of feast or something that touches on Dionysus. That's like the contest of all the gods or something like that. Correct. And that's what the Olympics Committee is saying. That's what this is supposed to depict, not the Last Supper. But I'll just say this. Which artistic image is more famous? The Last Supper, which is very similar to that, where it's like Jesus in the middle and a bunch of guys on the side. Or the Dionysus one, which is obscure. And frankly, I didn't even know about it until literally today. I would argue that the Last Supper is the more recognizable image. So if you're going to lay people on that type of layout, as an organizer, you have to think, hmm, I wonder if people are going to misinterpret what we're going for here. However, it's a little disingenuous to suggest that people, like to think, oh, they should know it's Dionysus. Of course it is. But Fabian, doesn't context matter? We're at the Olympics. What would the Last Supper have to do with the Olympics? Whereas Greek gods actually do have something to do with the Olympics, right? What does a menager twa have to do with the Olympics? But they showed that. That's a good, that's a fair question. It's the hardest point. That's exactly why people are on the arms because there was a lot of other, there was a lot of other imagery in the Olympic opening ceremony. A lot of people raised eyebrows about that were like graphic or suggestive. Well, if you want to say that's a different, but that's a different argument. You lump it all together and that's what people are doing. They're lumping it all together. Maybe they shouldn't lump it all together. But that's what they're seeing. A larger portrait of what is going on here and the, perhaps, subliminal messaging that's being pushed and they don't like it. And I can understand why they're upset. I mean, I was just watching for Celine Dion. I missed the House of Twa. I didn't actually, the menager twa thing was great. It didn't involve Celine. No, it was two guys in a library flirting and then a woman comes up and then they all walk out together. And the suggestion is that they're going to bang, which is inappropriate. Well, yeah. It's inappropriate? At the Olympics, yes, 100% it is. Oh my God. There's plenty of banging going on at the Olympics. Okay, speaking, I think, of inappropriate. So, Paraguay was playing Israel in soccer. And there were protesters there who decided to go full Hitler in the middle of the match. [MUSIC] They're chanting "Hyle Hitler." -Hyle Hitler. -Look at this. -Hyle Hitler. -Oh my. Can you imagine any other group in this world where you would basically chant their genocide and you would get away with it? It is, I mean, it just shows the remarkable power of anti-Semitism in this world. Where are those protesters removed? I mean, it's one thing, holding up the Palestinian flag, that's a protest we've seen. Right. But Hyle Hitler. And it's not even really a protest, they're supporting the country. This world is going to hell in a hand basket. There's no, from that to all that hand basket to hell straight up. [LAUGHTER] Hi, Jillian, New York. While that is actually disgusting, Karen is entitled to her opinion and her feelings. But I really feel that religion should have no part in the Olympics. It's supposed to be inclusive to all. Which is what the organizer said. It wasn't about religion. It just wasn't. Anyway. Okay. Yeah, enough. Something else happened at the Olympics. A big secret was exposed. Lady Gaga is engaged. We don't know exactly when it happened that she got engaged. But here is how it came out. It was a TikTok video that was posted. This is her introducing her, we thought, boyfriend, to the French Prime Minister. [LAUGHTER] She introduced him as my fiancé. And the Prime Minister actually posted this video. The Prime Minister posted it. The Prime Minister is like, I need to get my TikTok numbers up, man. Obviously, huge news. But people are so stupid. People are actually mad at the Prime Minister or more likely it's his social team for basically revealing what many think is kind of a private thing that she clearly didn't want out. Like Harvey had said. So I guess there are reports that at her birthday in March, she was telling people that she's super close with that they got engaged. Unclear exactly when they got engaged. But I know there's also some photos we I feel like got that people were speculating she had an engagement ring. So this has kind of been floating around for a while and now the Prime Minister just confirmed it. Well, there you go. Listen, don't go telling the French Prime Minister stuff if you don't want it out. They broke up and then got back together and now we're engaged. How about that? I just want to congratulate her, her friends, her family, and I'm just happy she's happy. Love is love and that's all that's important. She's pretty amazing. Swaley was not the person I expected to hear voicing his opinion about politics and maybe that's on me because I was just making an assumption about Swaley. But he did this weekend and it has really sparked a big conversation about who's supporting Kamala Harris really. Here's what Swaley had to say. He said the money we sent away every American citizen could have got minimal 200 grand. I don't know what money he's talking about exactly. I think he's talking about foreign aid to Ukraine. He says think about that but I guess we don't need the blank and y'all stand up for Kamala. My black people, she don't do nothing but sign off on things against y'all. Us voting just because you think she's black is not going to end in your favor. Okay, just a lot of things to pick up because you think she's black. I didn't realize that was a question but I think he was in art full the way he said. No, I think he was trying to question your thing or actual blackness. Really? A lot of people responded to that immediately. Here is just one particular person who said I hate when you rapper blanks only get your politics from other blanks planted in your life for these exact moments in history. And then to my point Swaley said, bro, you voting for her because you think she's black. She's black and Indian. Oh, you're right then. She don't lean to the black side. She just took an estate away from black woman. Y'all don't research. Go look up what Trump did for blacks. If you see us. You're totally right. You're totally right. You're totally right. Right. So this has become an issue. We talked about it last week when Joy Reid, an MSNBC said that if you're black and you're not supporting, you're weird. Kamala Harris, you're weird. So where is this going to fall in hip-hop? There are other rappers who have come out in support of Donald Trump. So joining us right now is someone who covers this. He's a hip-hop journalist, a hip-hop activist and also a political analyst. Bakari, Kitwana, joining us right now. Bakari, welcome to TMZ Live. Hey, Bakari. Thank you. How you doing today? Well, good. Good. There is a lot to process in what he said. Why don't we just get your overall reaction here? I think in general, I don't have an issue with people being critical or having an opinion about elections. Any American citizen who is going to be voting has the right to have an opinion. So I think that some of the things that he's raising are, you know, there is value to a question of where taxpayers' dollars are going and do we have an opinion on where those dollars go, the disparity between foreign aid and what causes that matter to people here are being supported. I think that that's a valid issue. Yeah, certainly. That is valid. And his point about doing your research also valid. I think what a lot of people took Umbridge with was attached to that tweet. He had a video of a debate from the last election season, it was-- Right. --Tulsi Gabbard calling out Kamala Harris for her record as attorney general here in California. And I think the issue is that a lot of the things that Tulsi Gabbard said not on the stage that night have since been proven just not true as far as the numbers that she threw out there. And so the point is when you say to someone do your research, what does that really mean? And where should you be doing that research? Well, I mean, I think that anyone who's a prosecutor is representing the state. They're not representing everyday people who are coming into their court, they're representing the state. So their job is to prosecute. I think one of their problems with Kamala's record that kind of gets gloss over is she ran saying that she would not support capital punishment. And then in her second term, she kind of backed off of that. So I think that's one fair critique. Do you think that, for instance, Swae Lee, has 12 million followers? Yeah. A lot of those followers are just going to read that tweet that-- and they're now going to go on and quote what he said, and they will think that that is doing research. I really think there's a value in explaining to people when you see somebody, whether they're famous or not, tweet something, the way to research it isn't to find another tweet that says the same thing. It's like you've got to dig into what it is they said and find the information on your own from usually reliable media sources. Well, I mean, I feel like we do have a younger generation that has to know how to check their sources. I think social media is a very impulsive space. Too many people are getting their news from there. They have no idea how to cross-check their information with valid news sources. And so the result of that is going to be this mixed bag. But I do think that when it comes to the-- a lot of the hip-hop artists who are advocating for Trump, I think we have to have a broader lens as to what's going on here. And one of the things that is happening is the politicians are trying to use hip-hop and the hip-hop artists are trying to use the politicians. >> Yeah. >> So they vote on you. >> A lot of clout chasing. >> Yeah. >> A lot of clout chasing going on. >> Yeah, they both want to use each other. I mean, the artists have realized by now from the point that Jay Z's relationship with Obama, to Kanye's relationship with Trump that hey, if I'm a hip-hop artist and I can make some noise out here supporting one of these candidates, or one of these candidates kind of embracing me or showing up on stage next to them, that's going to have an impact on my career to keep me relevant, keep me talked about, keep me in the media. And then my, perhaps my record sales will go up. >> Wow. >> See who it works out for? >> [LAUGH] >> Politician side and hip-hop side. >> We appreciate the time. [INAUDIBLE] >> Thank you so much. >> Okay, thank you. >> Appreciate it. >> We're getting info from anywhere. >> Yeah. [MUSIC] >> Welcome back to TMZ Live. There's so much writing on the wall at this point. It's like the Bible. >> Writing on the wall. It's graffiti. >> It is the time. >> It's calligraphy. >> When it comes to, we're talking about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez and their marriage, over and out. The latest scribbling on the wall is Ben's new house. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> We broke this over the weekend, Saturday. >> You knew that he had been living in a rental. Well, this is where he makes it permanent. This is the new home that he has purchased. >> In Brentwood. >> In Brentwood. >> And it's beautiful. It's $20.5 million. So he's there to stay. And if you needed more proof, this marriage is over, I don't care if you see wedding rings on them from time to time. He bought a house, they're selling the marital house, and she's looking for her own house. So how is their reconciliation in that scenario? >> It does not. There's not really any view of it that there could be. >> And we haven't seen them together for so long. Jaela's been in the Hamptons. She celebrated her birthday out there, which he did not post about. Even their two-year wedding anniversary kind of came and went, neither of them post about that either. Ben's been here in LA, obviously he just got a new house, by the way, in the same area that his former wife, Jennifer Garner, lives. So it's interesting he's moving closer to her, but farther away from J-Lo. And it's really confusing because J-Lo and Ben continue to wear their wedding rings. So it doesn't make sense at all to people that really know what's going on, which is this marriage is not working out right now. >> It's over. >> Yeah, they're living apart. It's over. >> It's over. Over, over, over. The wedding ring I don't get. As for why they haven't filed for divorce, a lot of times what celebrities do is they work out all of the, you know, the fine points with their business managers and even with a lawyer in mediation, there are no kids here, and they're prenup. So I don't see this has taken a lot of time, but at the very last minute what they end up doing then is filing. So it's not like in the public office. And so probably the day they filed and they'll be a joint press release. >> Exactly. >> They'll let everyone know we're splitting up. But the interesting thing about it is while they're not saying anything publicly, they clearly have told the family, I mean their kids are so close, and their kids continue to like do things together and see each other. So everybody in the family knows everybody knows. >> Everybody knows. Well, we know it's up. I mean, come on. >> Right. >> Even though they're not saying it, they're saying. >> They're saying. >> In all their actions. Well, buying separate homes as a married couple is definitely evident that the relationship is coming to an end. That seems to be the case for Ben Affleck and J-Lo, hopefully whatever they're headed to, if it's divorce or what have you, that it ends amicably, and they maybe can remain friends after. >> What if in five years they say you want to give it another try? >> It says a third time's a charm, okay, we're going to move on. That's Tiffany Haddish and her adventures in Zimbabwe at a grocery store, which seems completely innocent, right? Well, she posted a video as she went to a grocery store in Zimbabwe and got completely ripped for this. Because of sort of the tone of her delivery here when she's walking around this grocery store, some people feel like there's a little too much amazement on her part. Check it out. >> Hey, y'all, so I'm out here in Zimbabwe, in Ahari, and look at the grocery store. They got a grocery store. It's beautiful. Look at this grocery store, it's huge, it's absolutely humongous in Africa, baby. >> You know what? You understand what you're saying, why people are saying, "Oh, why are she so surprised?" But I think she's just showing, I think she's just touting how great it is. >> With pride. >> Yeah. >> She's doing it. >> That's the way I took it. >> Look, the criticism is that she was playing into a stereotype that there aren't developed, that they don't have things like this, and developed, and she's showing they are. They have it. It's not like, it's not like the Tucker Carlson thing where he's going to the Russian supermarket. >> Correct. >> It's not the same thing. >> No, it's not at all. But Tiffany saw all the online comments where people felt like she was, in a way, buying into stereotypes. She said, "I'm an American, a black one at that, and told for years that people are starving in Africa, showed pictures of babies with flies on them, told crazy stories of how they kill each other, and there is war every day there. I asked my black friends to go with me, and they were scared. We got here, and I have been eyes full of tears, finding out the truth, the media be lying. I thought I would share, because I know people in the USA that believe Africans don't have anything. So, there's her explanation. She is saying, "I know you have all heard these stereotypes. I want to do." In fact, there's a part of the video where she says, "I am demystifying Africa for many of you." >> But she kind of is. >> Yeah, no, I understand her standpoint. The Twitter mob is always looking for something to latch onto, and this is such a stretch. There's something celebrities do where it's like, "Okay, I understand why you're going to be outraged." This video, I mean, just Tiffany, just showing her appreciation and her excitement to be in Africa. There's no reason for people to be actually appalled about this. And again, it's just people doing gymnastics to get mad about some. >> What could she do that would escape criticism? Is there anything she could do that would escape criticism from media? >> I was going to say tell some jokes, but then there'll be some people who'll be offended by the jokes and that. By the way, the fruits and vegetables looked fantastic, I will say it. >> Are you surprised that they looked fantastic, Harvey? They looked pretty. Are you shocked that they would have? >> Not a bit. >> Beautiful produce in Africa. >> Not a bit. >> Is that what you're trying to say? >> Better than... >> What did you expect it to be? Like some outdoor market? >> Better than... >> But like flies and everything around? >> Better than Gelsons. >> This is Donnie ATB Plumlee from Chicago, Illinois. I might have to agree with Tiffany on this. I don't see no wrong with it, but her showing us that it's beautiful and they do have a lot of things because we only see pretty much what they show us about Africa. >> Yeah, and by the way, I think it helps for tourism. It totally helps for tourism. >> It should. >> So there you go. >> Some of the beaches in East Africa? >> I'm serious. That's a really good thing. >> Very good thing. >> Yeah, people who bought a lot of real estate there. Okay, oh, in fact, who did we have on last week or talk about who was buying property in Africa? Remember? >> You want me to remember something from last week? >> Yes, I do. >> Wow. >> And is it? Tall order. >> Ah. Oh, come on. [MUSIC] >> Akon. >> Yes. >> Akon. >> Akon. >> I'm about to say Harvey is not crazy. There was someone we were talking about last week. It wasn't on this shows on TMZ on TV. >> Okay. >> But we did talk about Akon buying land in Africa. >> Because he's like, he's diversified like crazy. >> On this particular point, you're not crazy. There are lots of other things. >> He just couldn't give it to me, could you? >> No. All right, moving on to Tupac and his family's efforts to find out who was really behind his murder. You know, of course, that in Las Vegas, they have a guy named Kefi D in jail and he is going to stand trial for the murder of Tupac. But some things that came out in court during Kefi D's court hearings. >> Involves Diddy. >> Indeed, that was one of the things that came out. This recording of a conversation that Kefi D had with Vegas police many, 2009, I believe, where he said to them that Diddy had offered him a million dollars to kill Tupac. He also told police he never got that money. >> But what's interesting about this is prosecutors use that tape to try and deny him bail. So it was almost like prosecutors were embracing the sent home most. And I think maybe that's what made his family get very suspicious. So they have now hired a very powerful lawyer, a guy we've spoken about before, Alex Spyro. Who, when last we saw him was defending Alec Baldwin successfully. >> Successfully. That got him off on that one, so they brought in Alex Spyro to start this investigation and to who really is behind this. And I think the end goal here is if they find enough evidence to file a wrongful death lawsuit. But clearly there could be criminal implications depending on what they turn up. >> Yeah, I mean, Kefi has been spending this web for years. So we're going on decades now, so I'm not sure what type of evidence they expect to find. He even admitted that he's been using these stories for selling books. >> Right, because he's told it one way and then said, I made that all up. So it's almost like they've got to go beyond Kefi D. And I think that's why they brought in Alex Spyro. >> I'm Heinz from Luton, England. I just basically want to say, of course, we don't know whether he's guilty or not of this. But if that investigation does come back and something does actually stick. And I wouldn't be surprised that that the prosecution actually mentioned Diddy. >> We should be very clear that the police, as far as there is no investigation into Diddy, it doesn't appear that the police believe that part of Kefi D. >> It's just interesting the prosecutors did yes. >> Yeah. >> Okay, every weekend we put polls up on the website to see how you feel about things that happened last week and a lot of things happened last week. >> Yes. >> But here are the results. >> All right, the Secret Service does its job well. Yes, they do, despite the Trump shooting, no shooting revealed glaring problems. Got to go, yeah, I mean. >> I thought it would be higher. J.D. Vance, childless cat lady attack, disgusting and misogynistic, or I get his point. >> Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, afraid, all right, still 28% of that. >> I would scare him, geez. >> Okay, one more. >> Bottom line, who you voting for, Harris or Trump? >> It's not a scientific poll. >> Let's see if it aligns. >> That's way too. >> It's interesting because we put a poll up with Joe Biden and Trump, and I think Trump edged Biden out on that poll, so that's kind of interesting for our users. >> Was that the weekend that Biden ended up dropping out? >> They all blurs, I'm sorry, it all blurs. >> For years now, everything that we hear about Taylor Swift is a very happy story. The success of her era's tour, which continues to roll through Europe before it comes back here. >> Travis Kelsey. >> Yeah, Travis Kelsey. There is some bad news to report today, something really tragic that happened in the UK. It was actually a Taylor Swift themed party that a lot of teenagers were having over in a town called Southport in England. >> It's near Liverpool. >> And during this party, it was outdoor, there was dancing and everything, somebody, a masked man, showed up with a knife, and ended up going after a bunch of these kids. Seven children were injured, all rushed to the hospital. One of them did not make it, and it's passed away, but a real tragedy. >> Wow. >> Authorities just actually updated those numbers minutes ago, and they're not good. They say two children are now dead, and nine others total were injured, and six are in critical condition. Two adults, meanwhile, are in critical condition as well. And they also noted that they have a 17-year-old in custody who they believe to be the suspect in this case. >> Wow. >> It's very, very sad. >> A 17-year-old was actually younger, these kids were preteens, there were six to 11 of them. >> Just horrendous. >> Yeah. >> Hi, this is Melissa from Haiti, and this is so sad. Like you said, everything about Taylor Swift is usually of a happy theme, but unfortunately, this was a horrible experience, and I extend my heart out to those who lost their lives and their families, and I hope that these children who experienced this trauma really get the mental health assistance that they need, because it's certainly a traumatic experience, and wow, we have, there are no words, truly. >> No, it's just, oh my God. >> You know, I was watching a BBC report about this this morning, and it was interesting, one of the, there's a resident local, the way they described it, and he said, "It looked like something you would see in America." >> God. >> Chaos. >> You know what? >> Going on. >> And you get it. >> Yeah. >> And you get it. What else do you guys want to talk about? Well, representing out of Greenberg, New York, and talking about Trump and the optics that, you know, the saying that he had women sort of staged in his secret service. Listen, at the end of the day, Trump does a lot of wild things. We all notice, but shout to those women and people that helped to protect him when it counted most. You know, he didn't get killed. >> Yeah. >> You know, he didn't get him. So what are we talking about? This blame game has to sort of stop, and I just want to get him props, because it seems like people are trying to push this blame, but given they props, they saved the man's life. >> Yeah. I mean, they more-- >> That's lucky. >> They did neutralize the shooter, and that did save his life. But watch this documentary on 2B, because you're going to see these glaring, glaring failures. One more. >> Hi. Jersey, I just want to talk about Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake's story keeps getting more interesting by the second. It sounds like this story has celebrity privilege run all over it. Hope he learns drinking and driving isn't okay. >> It's been pointed out that I am the cook of the day, because in the tea, as I said, wakeboarding. Duh. Wake surfing that Kim Kardashian is doing, and now she is getting lessons from a pro. >> A world? >> A world champ. >> Yeah. I mean, so she's got to be taking this seriously, right? >> What I'm trying to do. >> Or is she just doing it for the show? >> Or-- >> Or could be both. >> Or? >> Or. >> How old's Austin? >> Does it matter? >> Yeah. >> What? >> I mean, as long as he's 18. >> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] >> That didn't know that that was going to happen. Yes. He seems to be of a-- >> Oh, my God. >> Fair parting. >> Oh, huge? >> Yeah. He's a world champ. >> Is he staying behind her for safety? >> Or just because he wants-- >> He enjoys the view. >> Right. She's pretty good, actually. >> Yeah? >> I wonder. >> You wonder. >> To be continued. >> [LAUGH] >> To be continued. We'll see you tomorrow. >> Always trying. [LAUGH] (laughing) (upbeat music)
