3. SOUNDBITE (English) Del Wilber, The Associated Press:
“The parallels between this and what happened to Reagan to me are front of center, front and center to me. You know, both men are shot. Shot at. And apparently Trump was wounded. Reagan was definitely wounded. You know. People will rally around you when that happens.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bethesda, Maryland – 14 June 2024
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Del Wilber, The Associated Press:
“Reagan was a very spiritual, religious person. And he believed in forgiveness. And he started praying for Hinckley. And it’s in his diary that he did that. He also believed he had been spared for a purpose, and that purpose was to help reduce the threat of nuclear war, which helped guide his entire presidency.”

7. STILL of front page of The Bulletin newspaper with headline about Reagan assassination attempt

Bethesda, Maryland – 14 June 2024
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Del Wilber, The Associated Press:
“You know, Reagan would lose more than half, seventy years old, by the way, and he’d lose more than half his blood volume because he’d been hit. He was in shock at the hospital. He collapsed into the arms of his agents when he walked through the doors. Right? They couldn’t get his pulse. They couldn’t get his blood pressure. Reagan was probably a minute away from dying. When they moved, removed the bullet finally from him, it was an inch from his heart.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS

“And so, you know, that’s that transformed Reagan’s presidency and transformed him as a person. It transformed the world.”

14. STILL of Trump being held up by Secret Service

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bethesda, Maryland – 14 June 2024
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Del Wilber, The Associated Press:
“And I think it’ll be really interesting to see what happens in the next couple of weeks about what this does for the American public’s relationship with Trump, because Reagan was so affable, you know, he defeated, he defused so many situations with humor and kindness, and he was easier to like. And, our times were not as polarized in 1981 as they are today.”
