8:00 p.m. in the great city of milwaukee. we are in beautiful wisconsin, we are broadcasting live from inside of the rnc. the republican national convention will go on as planned after a day that americans will never forget, donald trump standing tall, blood running down his face, fist clenched in the air, drink by secret service, captured by this iconic photo scene around the world and a second earlier a bullet pictured in the shocking photo peers president trump sears, millimeters away from striking him in the head, what was sure to be a fatal blow, deranged lunatic tried and failed to assassinate donald trump. in the crowd a father of two young girls sadly was killed while shielding his family into other bystanders were seriously injured. our prayers remain with them tonight, this was a dark day in
6:02 pm
american history, the soul of our country is now in many ways almost unrecognizable. we will get into exactly what went wrong and just a moment. we begin with a look at why this happened, i have long said very consistently on this program the deranged violent individuals they themselves are responsible for their own actions when a bernie sanders to bruce van tried to assassinate steve scalise and another republican congressman on a baseball field i said you hold the person responsible that did this. i said the same thing when a man from california tried to assassinate in u.s. supreme court justice brett kavanaugh at his home and the same is true of the failed trump assassin. at the same time the behavior, the rhetoric on the left has become progressively more omnibus and extreme and in the process they have dehumanized
6:03 pm
donald trump they have dehumanized his family, his supporters now for nearly a decade they called trump a facets, a racist, sexist, a monster, how many were hitler comparisons can they make about donald trump they warranty would root america, democracy is on the ballot, meanwhile these are the same people with the snap of a finger disenfranchise millions and millions of primary voters, they breathlessly perpetrated a hoax for three long years, lied, conspiracy theories pedal day after day, night after night, accusing donald trump of being a russian asset they tried to delegitimize his presidency with the mueller witch-hunt they impose to bogus impeachment proceedings and after leaving office, biden's weaponize d.o.j. and other democratic da that ran on a platform to get trump and attorney general's they wasted
6:04 pm
enough president of off air campaign against donald trump, they raided his house, sued him for hundreds of millions of dollars, they filed cooked up charges in the variety of deep blue districts across the country and still donald trump is ahead in the polls. meanwhile the rhetoric on the left got more heated and more extreme, democrats claiming trump would and democracy, they told their followers there would not be another election, look at the cover of the new republic magazine. new republic depicting donald trump as adolf hitler prominent new york congressman dan goldman saying trump has to be eliminated, biden saying tonight he wants the temperature lowered. really. in the last week alone kamala harris, chuck schumer and somebody others, your wife smeared the former president, you, your self and your wife,
6:05 pm
your wife called trump evil and a threat to our country, just to remind you, take a look. >> i made this from the bottom of my heart, trump is a threat to this nation, he says if he loses, there will be a bloodbath in the united states supreme court said there is virtually no limit on the power of the president, trump said if he went till be a dictator on day one. he means that folks. were talking about that happen. over my dead body. >> his own chief of staff said he called pows and those who died in war losers and suckers. he is evil. >> what donald trump the maga republicans have made clear if they get into power they will dismantle american democracy as we know it. >> someone who suggest we should terminate our constitution and
6:06 pm
should never again have the chance to stand behind the microphone and have the chance to stand behind the seal of the president of the united states of america. >> five days ago at a fundraiser biden said we are done talking about the debate. it is time to put trump in a bullseye. yesterday somebody tried to shoot trump in the head they went for a headshot, joe biden and other top democrats are not responsible for the actions of the deranged lunatic. i want to be clear. this insane political demonization has to stop, democrats, the state run media mob they need to be honest. donald trump is not putting democracy in peril, is not try to be a dictator for life. he is running on lowering the people's taxes, generating economic growth, energy
6:07 pm
dominance, getting rid of biden inflation, finally securing the border the single greatest national security threat that we have, trying to get rid of the insanity of no bail laws and defunded dismantle and reimagine the police, donald trump wants to make american great for all americans, remember 2016 about the forgotten men in the forgotten women in this country. you may disagree with the politics but enough with the lying, cheap fake video that is not a cheap fake video that's not even edited. another lie that they perpetrate. last night's week statement from joe biden was not good enough, tonight not good enough, hours after the assassination attempt joe finally shuffles out to a camera, he didn't have much to say, take a look. >> the idea that the political violence or violence in america like this is unheard of, it's not appropriate. everybody once to condemn. >> did you see the assassination
6:08 pm
attempt. >> i don't know enough, have an opinion but i don't have any facts. i want to make sure that we have all the facts before i make any more comments. >> it is assassination attempt. it is not appropriate. if biden wants to lower the temperature then in economics presidential until the american people donald trump is not evil not a threat to democracy, he's merely working within the confines of our constitution are great democratic republic to win a second term, biden would tell his fellow democrats even if you do not like his position or his rhetoric or his style, donald trump is a genuine american with a large following you want the best for the american people in the country that he loves. as former first lady, melania trump eloquently stated a monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out
6:09 pm
donald's passion, his laughter, ingenuity, love of music and inspiration, the court facets of my husband's life, his human side buried below the political machine, donald the generous, caring man who i have been with you the best of times and the worst of time. she goes on to let us remember when the time comes to look beyond the left and the right beyond the red and the blue, we all come from families from a passion to fight for better life together while we are here in this earthly realm, the winds of change have arrived for those of you cry and support i thank you. i commend those who have reached out beyond the political divide, thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family. as i said for years, every democrat republican they deserve to be safe and protected. i was saying that with robert f
6:10 pm
kennedy junior last night. i said it about barack obama when he was president. we settled our differences at the ballot box. we can do it without the smear and the slander that goes on in the doomsday prediction. america when you stand back in the more sober moments in your life and you think about the blessings of liberty and the blessings of freedom, how lucky are we. what is amazing place filled with incredible people and there are incredible people, both sides of bio. the american dream is real and in many ways were at an inflection point and fundamentally our system could be the greatest best system god ever gave man if we protected the republic if you can keep as ben franklin said. no country in the history of this earth has done more to advance the human condition and still americans across the political spectrum rightfully work toward a perfect union.
6:11 pm
we are blessed to live in the greatest single country god gave men and we have a responsibility to protect and preserve for our children and grandchildren and we cannot let the hatred, the lying, the smearing, the slander that this merging and the vitriol get in the way. we will check in with dana perino, newt gingrich joining us for the very latest in the white house where joe biden delivered a short speech calling on americans to lower the political temperature, our very own peter doocy, i can go on and play his comments and joe biden's comments from last week maybe he needs to start by being a good example. last week he was not a good example. >> the next couple of days he will have a chance to demonstrate whether or not he wants to follow through on what he was talking about, they canceled some remarks that were scheduled tomorrow in austin, texas. tomorrow night he's flying out to the batter for plea.
6:12 pm
and campaign stops talking to unions and the campaign is telling us this time last night when we were talking we were reporting that the campaign was pulling down the tv ads and they would pause outbound communication and they will resume making their case starting at some point tomorrow where they lay out their version for the future and they will explain why they think trump in republican version of the next four years is not as good. to do that they're going to have to make major edits to the things that they have been saying. we heard president biden use lots of words to describe donald trump since 2019 campaign and since he's been president. now he is calling him donald and he says he hopes he's doing well, that is different. there is a lower third say the rnc is going to go on as planned there's been a change in the trump convention speech
6:13 pm
about unity it is possible that going forward will be a lot differently than the last couple of years. if you take both of these men afterward. >> in the same speech, i'll get into more detail with newt gingrich in a minute in the same speech he did bring up jan january 6. interestingly we have 574 riots in the summer of 2020. we had a couple dozen dead americans, cops pelted with the brics, molotov cocktails and thousands of cops injured and billions of property damage and i'll get into vice president kamala harris days after the police precinct in minneapolis was burned to the ground, she
6:14 pm
tweets out a bail fund for the people involved in the writing they said they were mostly peaceful protest. i'm not exactly sure he's even in his own speech living up to his own standard. >> it seems like with their having a tough time figuring out what the message needs to be because they know little about the shooter and that is unusual within 24 hours after an assassination attempt like this to know so little and as we understand it, the fbi has the guys phone, the attempted assassins phone at quantico after lab and they're not able to get into it right now. while there telling us that they believe he acted alone and this was a lone wolf being investigated as an active domestic terrorism, they cannot see who he was talking to and who he may have ticked off about plans. i think we will hear the white house message on this of all the little bit but the general theme once we know more about that
6:15 pm
shooter but the general theme with the assassination attempt on donald trump between now and november is going to be one trying to lower the temperature little bit especially because joe biden is the person in charge of the executive and the one who is in charge of the secret service for donald trump and whoever he rolls out as his running mate in the next couple of days. he wants us to put out the word, it's a terrible thing to happen and he will do whatever he can to get them the resources that they need so they can be safe and they can try to settle the election according to the president tonight on the merits of the arguments of the policies aand less about personal tax. there have been plenty on both sides of the last several years. both men are suggesting that maybe not so much at least for the next couple of days. >> peter doocy always great to have you. joining me now for milwaukee, former speaker of the house fox news contributor newt gingrich. not a bad look.
6:16 pm
>> it's going to be great and i was telling you last night i helped blow up some of the balloons. >> you did point out this is the largest balloon drop in history, 150,000 balloons. >> you know for sure. >> that's what i've been told president trump order the largest balloon drop. >> is a guinness book of world records. >> i was on the floor yesterday walking around, there is a giant family reunion and people come from all over the country, some of them have been coming for 20 or 30 or 40 years they meet up with each other in the excitement of politics but also the excitement of being together, this will be a very exciting convention and what happened last night in the providential survival of president trump, he's going to come here and be so overwhelmingly received. >> you know he flew in today. >> i actually saw a motorcade.
6:17 pm
his attitude was exactly right, he's not going to let a guy stop him. >> you would've said get in the car. let me go back to president biden, lower the temperature, that sounds good not a bad message. in the same speech he mentioned january 6 but he did not mention the 574 riots in the summer of 2020. at the time four days after the burning down of the police precinct, his vice president put out a bail fund, i'll give you details on the other side then she went on to stephen colbert, they are not going to stop, they should not stop, were not going to stop, listen. >> this is a movement i am telling you they are not going to stop and everyone be where they're not going to stop and they're not going to stop before election day in november and they're not going to stop after election day everyone should take note on the on both levels they are not going to let up and they should not.
6:18 pm
>> she put out the tweet for the bail fund four days after the police precinct was burned to the ground, prior to her tweet that particular left-wing group brought it about a quarter of a million dollars then what are they do with the money in august of 21 the bail fund build out a guy domestic assault charges and guess what that guy went out and killed somebody. three weeks later. in 2022 they bailed out another man with in the ship exposure and he shot and killed another man. overall according to a cnn investigation, 65 people bailed out by the freedom fund while facing felony charges involving violence, physical threat for sex crimes why am i spending time on this, where is liz cheney mr. speaker when you need
6:19 pm
her because she sounds like an insurrectionist to me. >> if i want to go -- we can all agree kamala harris on a good day is kinda goofy. we can agree the hard left breaks the rules all the time, look antifa and portland for two years breaking the law every single time, we can all agree there is a tremendous bias in the media, the cnn report, president trump was taken off stage after he fell that was initial report, he fell. >> he fell and that's where the blood came from. i would go back to biden speech they wrote me almost immediately after the speech and said this was jimmy carter's malaise speech he doesn't accept any responsibility, he does not announce any real changes. yes we need to have better
6:20 pm
protection of our political leaders and that's why i'm authorizing the secret service to protect robert f kennedy junior, yes we failed totally to provide resources to donald trump's detail, that's why am increasing it. yes i have been saying things that are clearly and i commit tonight without saying any of those things in the campaign. he could've been somebody that told us, what we got was total baloney. i would describe as biden's baloney speech. >> i call it the big joe biden cognitive lie and cover up, speaker johnson says probably the biggest cover-up in the history, you know because we are private conversations about my coverage and you might -- how do i say this delicately. a little bit critical. >> on the edge.
6:21 pm
>> i think it was proven right in a lot of ways but in all truth i wish i wasn't. >> we had the same experience in 2008 and nine with obama with the only reporter who is totally correct. >> thank you. i'm not waiting for credit i was right on the russia collusion hoax but i wish it wasn't true but it is. everybody in the media knows and every democrat knows and they all covered it up in this debate happen, all my gosh, three weeks earlier they were telling us every video that we saw of joe was a cheap fake. >> this may surprise you, i don't think biden's greatest threat to the united states is his brain. it is his policies. if you replace biden with amo coherent person that is equally as crazy and kamala harris is slightly crazier than biden in rumors about as crazy as biden, newsom as crazy as biden. it is the policy.
6:22 pm
>> blood is boiling. >> eni one time i praised the bookie written about citizen a very interesting book, he's an interesting guy but a left-wing nut. >> no doubt. >> mr. speaker great to have you. this place will be rocking tomorrow night. i'll be throwing footballs it'll be fun. thank you for being with us. >> i don't get to see you enough, good point, joining us to cohost "america's newsroom" and the hit show the vibe in the personal friend and probably along with david portnoy, the biggest advocate for dogs in america in host of american newsroom dana perino. >> i thought you were going to say pizza. >> do you like pizza as much as they portnoy. >> i love them an alpha male, ms. peaches, probably the funniest thing i ever seen.
6:23 pm
>> let's talk a little bit a serious topic on the table and that is the safety, security of elected officials and you worked in administration and you know what goes on behind the scenes. working to get into more detail later. the one question how is it possible the shooter got on a roof less than 200 yards away with a rifle and we did not know that. how did that happen? >> specifically i do not know. i believe the investigation will tell us that. i hope it's much more quickly done than the jfk assassination assassination that took 44 weeks to get done and i don't think the american public will stand for that in this moment but last september i was in los angeles with an opportunity to cohost to co-moderate the pres presidentil debate and there were seven candidates. i remember one of the questions
6:24 pm
the farther we get from september 11th the closer we get to september 10, when i think of an overall in the big picture point away that we are living with september 10 mentality in what are the things that happened on september 10 and september 11 that law enforcement intelligence, were not talking to each other it wasn't clear communication, they had to deal with that. now we get away from that, we've been fortunate and done a lot of good work and work for the partners and killed a lot of terrorist but now we have other problems, law enforcement lacks not paid enough attention and focus on other things that they should not suppose to be. and you have an open border for the last three and half years which adds to the uncertainty and terrifying thing to me, we're in a very vulnerable situation added time when our expectation for what we need from america as the most
6:25 pm
exceptional country we need to do better for our own citizens. it's important to be the leader of the free world, i don't think we look very good in this. thank goodness president trump had the presence of mind and the instincts to insist the secret service had a chance to rise up and tell everyone he was okay and to give the defiance in the warrior president mentality but i feel like whether he wins the election or president biden continues or somebody else we've got to get back to thinking like we did on september 11 in the afternoon not like september 10. >> let me ask you this you talk about a september 10 mentality that's a sobering thought and unfortunately you're right in an issue that we discussed many on fox i know you do on your show "america's newsroom" and the five that's the issue of immigration. i have no understanding at all
6:26 pm
why 11 million unvented joe biden illegal immigrants have been allowed into this country for nearly 180 countries and countries with terror ties in the top geopolitical flows, iran, syria, afghanistan, venezuela, egypt, tens of thousands from china and russia can you explain that i make in the prediction if it's 100% when were going to get hit again and i remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. i always added pray to god that i'm wrong but i know in my heart i'm not. >> we want to be right. what are the things president bush would say to us and others have said it and correct, if you want to harm this country you will be up to be right once. our citizens need to be right 100% of the time.
6:27 pm
>> yesterday, yesterday so close to be the very different conversation tonight and one of the things i was telling you earlier as i was brushing my teeth before bed i was looking at myself at the mere and elective decided realized that is how close we were to losing former president trump and the reality of that is a galvanizing moment for all of us, president biden says we need to be unified it starts with us, i hope that he feels it starts with him, i'm on board i want to be more unified in a policy debate about the border or economics and foreign policy intake the person out of it. and were willing to do that, the other side, i don't know. >> you said something and i want to hone in on this a little bit, that is september 10 mentality in this context. we've been told for three plus
6:28 pm
years that the border is secure and closed in meanwhile we can watch was happening and they flat out denied it to us or they flip it and they blame donald trump even though they bragged about getting rid of true policies that were affected and i'm thinking this is the single greatest national security threat in her lifetime and i'm sitting here it's like a train wreck about to happen and nobody's paying attention and have a hard time understanding why they would ever allow that to happen, do you have any idea why? >> part of me feels like it was because they want to reverse anything president trump had done, the blindness in the policy to a race any sort of border policy that president trump had in the very first month president biden did all of that and they were so stubborn, not only that we have reporting from politico that said once
6:29 pm
immigration was a political problem that everybody in the cabinet tossed it around like a hot potato, nobody wanted to deal with it. you have mayorkas that is infuriating and the border is closed, we have big problems but i'm honored to be with you in the team and this will begin amazing week. >> its way to be fun not her first rodeo. wait to have you. fox news contributor kellyanne conway and joe concha welcome to beautiful milwaukee, how are y you. >> beautiful milwaukee, this is the movement that trump built in the house that will see a party like never before. >> gillian i am just sitting here thinking is my tenth republican convention, 1988. >> we all have a sense that we
6:30 pm
think the polls are telling us we're going to go, you know a thing or two about numbers we look at real clear politics average, what are your thoughts. >> doctor president trump even before the date into debate in the assassination is dominating joe biden the polls nationwide and in the swing states and even the betting markets was giving donald trump the highest rating ever, there's a reason for that people with strength not weakness and they want strength not failure they want to feel like you don't have minimum in sports, you don't have pipefitters paying for the student loans to doctors and lawyers, you don't have 11 million people coming here and larger than the population of the 41 of our states and you don't have the taxes it doesn't seem fair. i want to see this donald trump talked about this a long time ago not a politician but a cultural icon and people see as well. if joe biden had goodwill on
6:31 pm
policy people would take tonight speech a little bit more seriously and if you wanted to true debate on policy, what are they running on the writing on abortion election vehicles, trump, trump, trump. when you're running on how evil your opponent is a not policies but evil your opponent is. then we come to a moment like this and joe biden had no choice to do this but joe biden's party that's divided for three weeks in the electoral map is contracting in a court consistence of the democratic party are shrinking in the unifying's party for the last however, many months. i'm very happy to hear because he says he's going to come in here and continue and i thought first lady melania trump statement was so wonderful at a time when people are questioning joe biden's motives of not allowing her husband to enjoy the other 60% of his presidency in delaware since he spent 40% of it there now.
6:32 pm
jill biden and she's not been calling practice tacos she's been calling donald trump evil and mega maga and hakeem jeff raines went on the interview and said mega maga, extreme maga republicans about 50 times in his talk about the people at the rallies innocent men and women who get made fun of. if i hear one more stupid media person say why are his valley so white. they don't look at them as human beings they try to dehumanize and take away their dignity and their identity. we have a first amendment right to free speech, simply to express ourselves and without fear castigating and denigrating us. i feel so connected to those people in over 2000 straight days and i had secret service protection as a staffer and have all never forgive us and martha maccallum said everything is all five and tell trump won and they
6:33 pm
twisted and turned it, they turn and never go backwards. people tried to stop me on the street or the airport when the news broke, how do you feel, i'm not telling you how i feel, i love this country would donald trump him when people say everybody follows in everything donald trump does, thank god. when he went down, they went down. >> 's iconic. what brings me to joe concha i have something in front of me and i'll read it to you. you talk about cnn host scolding donald trump for saying the word fight when he got up and iconic moment same thing at cbs and margaret brennan and others over there and we all know democrats like bennie thompson wanted to deny donald trump secret service protection which is pretty unconscionable to be in ms dnc, joy read, democrats needed to
6:34 pm
reunite to keep because out of the white house, you quoted keith alderman saying reach weeding somebody's ex post about assassination and i keep going. your ex tweets out there today have been on fire. >> because i am pissed off. this is not something that happened in a bubble for the last week or so or two weeks this is been going on for nine years it's building to this crescendo and horrific result will be so president come within a millimeter of losing his life in the country falling into chaos as a result, the attempt on donald trump's life that played out in front of the world should've resulted in the objective unbiased coverage that president deserved in the moment and they fail that test miserably, take some of the headlines after the attempt in
6:35 pm
today, cnn, secret service rushes trump off the stage after he falls out of raleigh, whoever wrote the headline should be fired, not tomorrow, not next week, now. a banana peel on stage and trump slipped and fell. donald trump is been escorted off the stage during a rally after loud noises ring out in the crowd, loud noises like gunshots where you had donald trump stand up with blood on his face and on his ear in your initial reporting that it was loud noises that cause that, here's the new york times this morning, trump heard but safe after shooting. no you utter hacks, it was not a shooting it was as assassination attempt. how about forbes, will surviving gunfire be donald trump's next appeal to black voters. then abc news, george stephanopoulos, president trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as well, and then
6:36 pm
martha replies absolutely george, let's remember january 6. this is 31 flavors of delusional. meanwhile you joe biden to your point, the president said one week ago that there should be a bullseye on donald, that's the exact quote, he spoke with euler comments about unity, in teleprompter that had 0 authenticity behind it because half the time he was not looking at the camera if you watch that again he shuffles off like montgomery burns without taking one question from the press, lather, rinse, repeat, i hope democrats change your rhetoric, i have a feeling included those alleys in the media that is after a couple of days were right back to where we started from. >> we appreciate it, great to see you. >> number ten. >> i've been to a few, my tenth republican convention, donald trump already says i think i get more people than anybody who's
6:37 pm
never had a microphone or the guitar, this will prove that. it's been a rough time but to celebrate american democracy. >> good to see you, more disturbing details about the alleged shooter from yesterday's trump rally in pennsylvania according to sources authorities found explosives and his car parked near the rally and bomb making materials at his home here's with the very latest in pennsylvania are very own cb cotton, what's the latest there. >> great to be with you it appears federal agents are going to continue their work through the night and as you mentioned very alarming discoveries inside of the home we are told those were shipped out to the fbi's lab in quantico at this hour but my law enforcement sources are telling me the focus is shifting to gaining access into the shooters phone. i'm told federal agents will not
6:38 pm
feel, enter confident that the shooter acted alone until they're able to go when the phone and see who are they communicating with. i want to go have this unfolded. let's roll the video secret service telling fox that rally goers first alerted local police to the shooters suspicious behavior but get this officers could not find the shooter until it was too late, at that point the secret service killed the shooter, the 20 euros graduated from high school two years ago when we confirmed he worked as a dietary aid at a local skilled nursing rehabilitation center, a spokesperson at the facility telling us his background check was clean though it cleared him to work. we learned he was a registered republican according to voting records but we probe this a little bit for another set of records, during the 2021 inauguration he made a $15 donation to a progressive turnout project in a chicago-based political action
6:39 pm
committee. while we don't have a clear view of the shooters home from where rat in pennsylvania we are pushed far back, we know from the law enforcement sources bomb making materials were found inside and ied's were found in his car. were told the ar style rifle was legally purchased by his father. again these items headed for quantico most of them are already there and like i mentioned investigators zeroing in on the phone in trying to find the motive is top of mind. the disturbing details, as we learn more about the firefighter and trump supporter who was killed when the gunfire erected, he's right there on your screen, we spoke with the sister and said they're not ready to speak up at pennsylvania governor josh shapiro sharing that the firefighter went to church every sunday and loved his family and died while trying to shield his daughters and wife from the
6:40 pm
gunfire. tonight, flags are flying at half staff over the heartbroken community, working to be here continuing to monitor. >> thinking for that report we appreciated. congressman ronny jackson did reveal his nephew was whether the people injured in yesterday shooting at the trump rally in pennsylvania and national political reporter at the washington examiner selena zito was 4 feet away from where president trump was shot. earlier tonight former president trump spoke with selena and told her he is rewriting his rnc speech for the focus on immunity, congressman selena, i will start with you, 4 feet a away, let's talk about what you saw, what happened, walk us through it, that had to be harrowing. >> it was, i'm not quite sure if the impact is hit me just yet, i
6:41 pm
want to backtrack a little bit and tell you before the president went out to speak last night, i met with him just briefly he was in the back holding room meeting with local law enforcement getting the picture taking, shaking their hands and i went back, i was supposed to go and interview him after the event and fly to bedminster to do that. he was in great spirits, he talked about how cited he was to be in pennsylvania and how much pennsylvania met. within six minutes i was standing in the bumper and that is outside of the perimeter, he was waiting and it would've been his left standing right there. if you've ever been to a trump
6:42 pm
rally, he never looks to his side, he always looks forward, he put a chart up behind him and he turned and just as he turned i heard pop, pop, pop and you saw the rat on his face and he goes down, he does not fall down he kneels down and i was standing right there and you heard pop about the same time when you heard the secret service and other law enforcement surround him and bring him down in the protective shield and at that point i was laying there with one of his advancements laying on top of me with my daughter beside me. >> let me ask you this, how many shots do you believe based on your very close proximity were fired in the direction of this president.
6:43 pm

6:44 pm
friendship with president trump. what you know about the extent of his injury. i will fit with the president all day and he's an incredible spirits. >> i've not seen a picture of him i'm assuming asked that something over his ear. >> a bullet. >> it was a piercing. >> it took the top of his ear, if you mess with it starts bleeding again he will have a dressing on his ear for a couple of days to control them. >> is it something that may need to be fixed on the road. >> i don't think so i think it will heal and it will be okay. >> pretty frightening. in our prayers go out to the family and the families that lost loved ones we can forget about them either. doctor jackson, good to see you

my friend. i'm not taking a cognitive test. anyway we want to think of you and that had to be harrowing day for you. thank you. congress is out of session for the rnc this week but would lawmakers return to washington they will begin a full investigation of the security failures that led to the nearest assassination of former president trump, joining us as rally ops veteran fox news contributor jason chaffetz, let me start with you, is this something you investigated in past years and involving the secret service, i'll say it last night and i'll stand by it, i met somebody we saw the best in the secret service last night those guys knew the president and they dove on him to take a bullet for him, that is the job they're trained to do, they are amazing people. then we have a wide open roof, they say outside of the perimeter, last night without
6:46 pm
between 200 - 300 yards away, that is basically a layup shot for somebody who is halfway decent shot you don't even have to be a marksman. >> that's within the perimeter if you advise on the president you can shoot the president that is the perimeter i don't care where the fencing is this is a complete and total failure, what is infuriating yet men and women who drove on top of the president and did their job. management has failed the secret service for decades we issued a 450 page report bipartisan and we did with the democrats and highlighted 150 security lapses that happen through the years. and how to fix them. they did not have the training or the wherewithal, yet secret service agents back then. >> this is so egregious to me and we hear there are reports that president trump and his team have been requesting a larger staff in more secret service and they were denied
6:47 pm
that. i have said many, many times on the show and on the radio he needs secret service protection. he's a presidential candidate, he lost his father and his un uncle. how many more family members to support family have to lose. >> he should have secret service protection and that they, unlike to the american people that they did not diminish the security profile. read what q hewitt put out robert o'brien the former national security advisor and volvo president trump and taking out of qasem soleimani how to secret service detail, guess what they took it away from him. >> let me bring in aaron, this is so fundamental to me i'm having a hard time understanding the security failure and again, i have deep respect for law enforcement, secret service but this is incomprehensible to me. >> the crooks at secret service lies within a multilayer system which means it would take a multi-failure event for someone
6:48 pm
to get to the president and one of the ex-president. the only reason why president trump is still alive is an act of god. he happened to turn his head in the round grazed him. it's important to look at long runners sniping or sharpshooting what this was was a pot this kid was 130 yards away, anybody can put those crosshairs on someone and take the shot, the failure in the system is one of the most important pieces of the advanced workup i don't understand why the building wasn't sterilized and why there was a access control to the roof, that is a monster failure with the sniper that did the business and worked quickly in the agents got on trump with less than a second and started getting him away, thank god that is multilayered because the system did what it was supposed to do. >> great to see you. >> did you bring any crown burgers. that doesn't do me any good.
