00:00Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kyle, happy birthday to you.
00:16Make a wish, Kyle.
00:21Don't miss Trump next time.
00:28Thank you.
00:30We love your kids.
00:31Matt, go take it backstage and cut it into pieces, please.
00:34Thank you, Richmond!
00:36Thank you, guys.
00:41How about this guy?
00:42Kyle Gass.
00:44Happy birthday, Captain.
00:51You guys are the best.
01:00Take a look at that.
01:21People might think it's a bit of funny ha-ha at a concert to run off at the mouth about this stuff.
01:26It's not.
01:27It's about physical life.
01:29It's about the threats to physical life.
01:31It's about the near assassination of a former and prospective President of the United States, depending on the vote of the American people.
01:39And it's about the murder of an innocent civilian and two people being seriously wounded.
01:45These people should grow up and find a decent job.
01:57They've been charged, not convicted, so let's wait for them to appear on a current affair.
02:01Then we can all make up our minds.
02:04All chaotic scenes at a Donald Trump rally over the weekend.
02:08What happened?
02:09A very poor shot.
02:11Well, depending on where you sit.
02:20Sam?
02:21Well, you know, as a staunch Republican, I take offence at that.
02:24Well, no, he was shot at, Tom.
02:27Yes, yes.
02:28Assassination.
02:29Yes, Ed.
02:30I believe they found the shooter.
02:32Melania on the grassy knoll.
02:34Is that right?
02:36There's someone saying the radical left.
02:38Tommy, how did they miss?
02:40It's a massive orange head.
02:42I think it was grazed.
02:44It got hit in the ear, my friend.
02:46Sam, I'll pay the points. Shots were fired, of course, at Donald Trump.
