00:00Hope that hate crime charges are filed if investigators determine this was an attack.
00:06That's not my call. That's the decision for District Attorney Chardo and the Department of Justice.
00:11Let me just say a word about the District Attorney.
00:14I've known D.A. Chardo for about 20 years.
00:19He's a top-notch prosecutor.
00:21I have total faith in whatever decision he makes in this case.
00:26Congressman Dan Muser said that the lawsuits and lawsuits that you are spreading about Donald Trump are contributing to this political climate.
00:34Do you have a response to that?
00:36He said that?
00:36Yes.
00:39Look, I've said for years leaders have a responsibility to speak and act with moral clarity.
00:49It would appear that the congressman failed to measure up to that.
00:52Governor, do you anticipate any changes to your security detail in terms of the number of people, their operations, or have any changes already been made?
01:01I think those are questions for the state police, and I don't think we're going to get into sharing publicly any specific details there.
01:09I do want to say more broadly, I have total faith in the members of my detail and total faith in the Pennsylvania State Police to both learn from this incident and to continue to keep me and my family safe.
01:22Governor, thank you very much.
01:23Governor, thank you very much.
