safe once again. brooke singman is live in milwaukee with all the details, good morning, brooke. >> hey, good morning from the milwaukee guys, todd and carley, an emotional day at the republican national convention. tens of thousands of attendees welcome former president trump cheering him on less than two days after nearly assassinated. trump was formally nominated as 2024 republican nominee early in the day. he was doing on stage by vp pick, ohio senator, j.d. vance. he announced on true social as j.d., he will continue to fight for the constitution, stand with the troops, and we he will do everything he can to make america great again. j.d. vance spoke with sean hannity about his history with president trump. watch this. >> i was certainly skeptical of donald trump in 2016 but president trump was a great present any change my mind and i think he changed the minds of a

lot of americans because he delivered priests to make peace and prosperity. president trump did a really good job and i think it is a good thing when you see someone and you are wrong about them you would admit the mistake and admit you are wrong. i have the agenda aligned with president trump to make american worker better off to bring peace to the world in advance an agenda good for american citizens. >> meanwhile president biden is slamming trump's new elective running mate. >> he doesn't know the issues. he is following trump on the issues. i don't see any difference. >> so several speakers took the stage day one of the convention including model and entrepreneur amber rose. >> the truth is the media has lied to us about donald trump. i know this because for a long time i believe those lies. my entire family is racially diverse. and i believe the left wing propaganda that donald trump was

a racist. my father said, "no, he's not, amber, what are you talking about?" and when i insisted, he said prove it. to prove my father wrong, i did my research and looked into all things donald trump. people have to do their research. [cheers and applause] >> we also heard from everyday americans who also share their experience living under a biden presidency. >> i left nicaragua for a better life in a fabulous las vegas, nevada. in 2022, my three boys and i faced a devastating house fire. joe biden's economy was almost impossible. >> i just worry about getting through the day. the big wade joe inflation has turned our dollars into nichols. >> i asked my father which party i should join. he said we are hispanics and we

vote democrat. but the more i learned, the more i saw the democratic party didn't represent my values were republicans did. >> meanwhile, vice president kamala harris reached out to vance after nominated as vp pick. she congratulated him, welcomed him to the race and said she hopes she can debate in the coming weeks. harris has agreed to july 23rd or august 13th. we will see which he agrees to. >> carley: what a moment in history where living through, brooke, thank you so much. we attorn our attention to senator j.d. vance b of the question is, who is really trump's new running mate, and a father of four elected to the senate in 2022. a ventral capitalist, marine veteran and in 2016 a trump critic but eventually a staunch ally and supports the former for presidents populace brand. he is the author of best-selling memoir, turn netflix movie

hillbilly elegy and grew up as a poor kid in rural kentucky and ohio. senator vance was raised by his grandparents as they are gnomic after his mom became addicted to opioids. he joined the marines straight out of high school and went on to graduate from yale law school and spoke with sean hannity about the moment you got that phone call. >> when the president called me today and offered me to become the vice president and nominee which sounds crazy, my son, my 7-year-old son was making noise in the background. so embarrassed, oh, my god, donald trump is asking me to be vice president. but he actually has me put my 7-year-old son on the phone. think about this time everything that has happen and the guy got shot a couple of days ago and takes time to talk to my son. it is the world more peaceful? when donald trump left office, you had real growing peace movements all over the world. three years later, it seems like

we have a conflict every corner of the world and americans are poor, sean. you know my background, i grew up in a poor family and it is very simple. number one, you need to support the disney in enacting the agenda, whether meeting with foreign leaders or working withh the sun and the house to get legislation passed, the president can't be everywhere. donald trump kampe everywhere so you have to be a person he can trust, rely on to advance the agenda. that is the most important job. of course, god forbid it happens, you have to be ready to step in the office. that is one of the most important ru but donald trump wl serve a good, four years. >> todd: former assistant secretary of state, robert charles. as a student of history like you are my how do you put into context what our nation has seen over the course of the last 72 hours, culminating with donald trump and j.d. vance on that stage together as the

republican ticket? >> you know, it has been a shocking turn of events. both of you, and look at it and think, this is really morning in america. we are witnessing a whole bunch of things telescoped in a short period of time. it almost feels like ronald reagan running with the young theodore roosevelt or young john f. kennedy. a shift of generational shift of vice president but gosh come over do you begin? george washington, theodoretheodore roosevelt, ronald reagan survive assassination attempts and from those assassination attempts went on to do unbelievable things. it changed them and the country around them. trump has selected j.d. vance. this guy is a walking storybook. it is unbelievable. he came from nothing and has done exceptionally well in terms of being a writer, in military, a marine, did his turn in iraq, came back and has made a lot of

money, ran for the senate. it is sort of he walks the walk and talks the talk. i am ecstatic you're good to me, it feels like the 1980 era. interesting j.d. vance was born two weeks before the republican convention in 1984 and that was the year in which ronald reagan swept 49 states. there was something inspirational about donald trump and how reacted to the assassination attempt and putting them together with a young, dynamic sort of can-do young american. i think it is inspirational. >> carley: the trump campaign is tweeting out what led to donald trump electing j.d. vance as his running mate. one of the things that has come up j.d. vance military experience. listen to this. >> he has served his country in the marine corps and enlisted in the marine corps after the twin towers came down. he has come of course, realize many of that generation with

veterans that americans should not be in worse that don't service interest. he is completely aligned with president trump's position to make this country wealthy and strong again. >> carley: his military experience, robert, one of the reasons he opposes foreign wars. he's one of the senators that has led opposition to foreign aid to ukraine, more money to ukraine. how do you feel about that? >> again, i will go back to theodore roosevelt because i'm doing this for the moment. 1988, theodore roosevelt storm san juan hill and later cut the medal of honor. yet, he became the author of the nobel peace prize because he helped stop the sino russia or appeared at the end of the day, i think you have to say if you have seen war and eisenhower was one of the first gnomic first people to see this and up close and personal you don't want to see it it happen again or the

american treasury trained or american boots on the ground in ukraine, that would be useless, fraught, no purpose in it. at the end of the day, there is a certain common sense that comes with j.d. vance. he is young. he's 39, extraordinary what he has done in his life but donald trump saw that and said, you know what, this is a guy that puts his money where his mouth is and done what he said he would do and came from nothing and turned it into something. if this is the american dream we are looking for in every american should be looking for the american dream, i think the combination of donald trump and j.d. vance gives a pretty good script for the american dream. >> todd: that was day one a lot to day one but the theme is make america safe once again, robert, is today the day that republicans wingback that suburban female voter in a swing state who may have over the course of the last couple of elections ben fearmongers into voting democratic because of the

fearmongering on the issue of abortion? but now takes a look at the world around her and says i'm turning back to the republican party because i'm scared for the safety of my family? >> lost, you know, honestly, todd, that is about as good of a summary you can get for really what is afoot here. since donald trump left office and joe biden assumed office, we have seen radical increase in drug addiction and drug related crime. we have seen crime generally rising. violent crime rising, threats to kids, threats and the schoolhouse. we have seen really an attack in many ways on the core values of the family. as a parent myself, i will tell you when i think women, men and women both who are parents, feel strongly that the kids are the future. that is where you infest your entire life. with donald trump and j.d. vance to make this place a better, safer open place for american kids, by god, yes, they will vote for him. when i was young my mom was a

schoolteacher, we were allowed to run outside and be home for dinner. that era, it would be great to see something like that come back again because america misses that era. we missed the sense we can trust where we live to be a safe place. god bless them my hope they can deliver. >> carley: tomorrow same make america strong again all culminating to thursday, make america great once again. robert, thank you for joining us and have a great day yourself. fox news alert, the police officers warned about a suspicious person at butler, pennsylvania, rally for the gunman started firing at the former president. >> todd: jonathan joins us live from butler, pennsylvania, jonathan. >> good morning, todd and carley. police radio traffic according to federal source described a police search for a suspicious individual that citizens had spotted and reported to

officers. their initial sightings were captured on cell phone video. take a watch. >> someone is on the roof, look. there he is right there. right there, do you see him? >> yeah, he's lying down. >> dangerous people, criminals, we have criminals... speak without building outside of the secret service perimeter was used as a staging area for one of the local counter sniper teams come according to a federal law for summit source familiar with the security plans and to confirms a local officer climbed up to the roof of the building and spot of the gunmen who then pointed the weapon at him and the officer dropped back down after seeing that weapon. according to local media reports, butler county sheriff michael sloop defendant the officer's actions telling kd atv i would do the same thing.

people think the officers are super men like you hold on the roof with one hand while you are hanging on for dear life and pull a gun out. it doesn't work that way. the secret service is expressing solidarity with local law enforcement releasing a statement this morning saying, "our agency dedicated with date, local departments cannot fulfill our mission without the support of courageous police officers. we are deeply grateful for the officers who ran towards tincture to locate the gunmen and all the local partners for their unwavering support. in the news suggesting the secret service is blaming local law enforcement for saturday's y not true." fbi official state investigators have been able now to unlock the phone of the deceased shooter, 20-year-old thomas matthew crooks come according to the agency, the fbi is focused on te gunmen, his motive and

potential associations building a timeline of events and related matters. the fbi has so far conducted nearly 100 interviews and has access to the gunmen's phone. agents visited the gun club where target practice members have condemned the shooters action saying, it is not what they are about. tony carley, back to you. >> todd: i thought we would get more answers, but in fact, we got more questions. president biden sitting down for the first interview since the first of the mic assassination attempt on the president and at times got testy with lester hol. >> seriously, you won't answer the question but why do the press talk about all the lies he told? >> we have reported many issues. >> no, you haven't, no, you have them. god love you. what is with you guys, come on, man! >> carley: the president was pushed on the rhetoric he was using when talking about former president trump on the campaign

trail, including a quote from a donor last monday where he says, "it is time to put trump in the bull's-eye or cohe's gotten away with doing nothing the last ten days except right around in his golf cart bragging about scores he didn't score." >> a call a week ago, you said it's time to put trump in the bull's-eye. there is some dispute about the context but you appreciate. >> i said the crosshairs and that's what i want to focus on pure the truth of the matter and i guess what i was talking about is time ways, very little focus on trump's agenda. >> but the term was bull's-eye. >> a mistake of words come i didn't say crosshairs but bull's-eyes and focus on it. >> president biden with details phone calls made to the president saturday. >> i told him how concerned i was and i wanted to make sure i knew how he was actually doing. he said he was fine and thanked

me for calling him. i told him he was literally and the prayers of jill and me. >> carley: the president condemned the attack and said no place for violence and politics but then also went on to condemned the former president as a threat to democracy. trying to walk the fine line. i think you fell off the balance beam there. >> todd: we will talk about that through the course of two hours. a major victory, did you hear about this? you probably did come up former president trump is classified documents case dismissed by fedl judge and constitutional attorney breaks down the decision and ramifications next ramifications next. >> carley: todd, that is not all, he let mickey white in tudor, congressman nancy mason and mike huckabee will be here live here and keep it here on this two our addition of "fox & friends first." ♪ ♪

appears to be appointing attorny figures in moments of politicalh history but very few if any of these figures actually resemble possposition of counsel smith. mr. smith's private citizen with exercising the power of u.s. attorney and with very little oversight or supervision." mark smith is a constitutional and former member of trump's transition team. and to put this in layman's terms, mark, what she is saying unless this individual is confirmed by the senate, the doj, merrick garland or whoever the attorney general is, doesn't have the authority to basically take some private citizen and give them all the powers, the awesome powers that a special counsel enjoys. your take. >> that is right. the united states constitution is the governing document of this country and the federal government. bit says the president of the united states gets to picks the

officers of the united states. that includes positions like the attorney general merrick merrick garland, u.s. attorneys but there is check and balance is what the president gets to do, todd appear at the president gets to pick the person but the senate gets to him from the per. weapon here according to the judge canyon, not picked by the president but merrick garland and for attorney general and then spends millions and millions of dollars for full authority really of u.s. attorney or the attorney general but he was never picked by the president himself and never confirmed by the senate. under the constitution, it is simply not allowed! >> todd: looking ahead to come if jack smith's appointment under this federal florida documents case had the whole case dismissed, looking at the d.c. circuit, another federal court and bolting a federal case, of course, the january 6 case and doesn't buy low and

system of judicial order, doesn't that case also need to be dismissed if we are following judge came in here? >> well, legally because the d.c. case is in a different district, the d.c. courts don't have to follow the decision of judge cannon. with that said, what is likely going to happen here, todd, donald trump's lawyers will follow a motion in the d.c. court when they get the case back from the supreme court, which they still don't technically have. look at this decision by judge cannon. we think you should do the same here. what should happen in the d.c. district court, they should assess the question they know from a fresh relate and take a look at this and take this question seriously. now that you have this decision, very long, dozens and dozens of pages long, todd, is time for the d.c. court to look at this as serious as well. that is what's going to happen. ultimately, this wrong court may have to fit it may be moot if donald trump wins the

white house and all the cases go away. >> todd: you just raised a lot of things happen in the d.c. court and the supreme court needs that we are talking months, years before ultimate decision put us down. to your point, president trump could be in court and dismissal the cases or have department of justice dismissed the case. we would be remiss, the exits of the front of the suspect who attempted to assassinate former president trump peerage of the american people trust the fbi will be fully transparent what n that phone and what they find during the course of their entire investigation into this attempted assassination? >> well, you know, when federal law enforcement has a credibility problem -- i mean, this is the same fbi that basically invaded more local and put confidential, classified stamps all over these documents and had photo ops hurco there is certainly a segment of the u.s. population that has distrust of federal law enforcement given some of their behaviors here. so i think there is a perception

that may be federal law enforcement may not do a good job one way or another on this investigation. with that said, there is no reason why the fbi cannot conduct interviews, conduct investigation, get the information off the phone and see if associations need to be investigated, and come up with their report. but there is a credibility trust problem and i think federal law enforcement has right now because of this law fare that the biden administration has been engaging in. that has come with political perception cost from the american people. i think when you engage in person behavior and federal law enforcement agent, it does not look good appearance bill and thank you for your insight on the topics. we appreciate it. today's rnc name is make america safe once again with standing up for law enforcement securing the border and stopping the flow of drugs into our cities. >> carley: error panel of

understandably so given what happened over the weekend and entering the stadium to a glorious applause. this is the first time that former president beard with vice presidential pick, ohio senator, j.d. vance. history made yesterday. today as well, today's name for day two of the rnc as we have been talking about this morning, make america safe again, emphasizing to and rampant crime and flow of dangerous drugs and support law enforcement you're joining us and our people directly impacted by lawlessness in america. rebecca lost her two sons to fentanyl overdose in 2020, joseph hahn the founder of blue lives matter and 18 years of law enforcement under his belt, and a texas rancher and county s judge and all join me now. good morning to you, joe, this theme is music to your ears and when it comes to what a president can do on a federal

level to tackle the crime crisis, really what they can do is set the tone for the entire country. what would you like to see the former president do if he is elected once again? >> now we he can come out and say, i am relatable and a victim of violent crime just like you. if it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody else. we need to focus on the mentally-ill to continue this violent crime with guns and starting today forward, we will rule. b3 rebecca, you lost your two beautiful sons to a fentanyl overdose here they were 18 and 20 years old. it was really fentanyl poisoning. they thought they were taking percocet but it was laced with fentanyl. the drug dealer only got 8-15 months in prison. they were so much wrong with that in so much wrong with how much fentanyl there is in the country right now. how do we tackle this as a nation? >> well, he got 8-15 years for

killing three young people, 17-year-old sophia died along with my two sons. i didn't know what fentanyl was like so many. four years ago, it wasn't talked about, and hopefully my testimony before congress has helped to make a difference. i am told by the administrator of the dea that it really did. a lot more people are talking about fentanyl coming across our southern border. and donald trump was doing something about it as president. we had a whole wall system. as a matter of fact, the last several president lois contributed to the wall system but joe biden completely dismantled it. i'm learning so much about what he's known and what he could have done. and he has made the situation so much worse. there will be roughly half a million young people dead during his term from drug deaths, from

fentanyl, these drugs coming across the southern border. >> carley: you mentioned the southern border and you have a ranch along the border. president biden's first term is coming to an end. he's been in office three and a half years ago how have the past three and a half years been when it comes to illegal immigration? >> well, it has changed dramatically. we had safe orders three and half years ago go now we don't we still have drive through's, we still have chases and right through the middle fire town so eagle pass, the valley and the southwest texas areas. it has not changed since biden took office. you still have to lock your car's. you still have to lock your doors. when cattle get out and livestock gets out, we have to close the gates and fix the fences.

but yet, can't fix our border. my heart goes out because there are so many lost loved ones throughout this ordeal. the administration has dropped the ball totally. i'm sorry, but all they have to do is go back to the laws that were in place three and a half years ago in the state of mexico policy. we have lost their vision in washington. >> carley: i'm so glad you said that because you have a unique perspective, not only living up along the border but being a county judge. how does the president, former president fix the issue if he enters office without getting tied up in the courts? >> well my records have remained active. we are still prosecuting felonies. we are still prosecuting misdemeanors. with him and allowing the border patrol to do its job, these border patrol in our area, they

will tell you they are ready for november to be here. they want a change and want to be able to have the authority to do what they were initially trained to do. they are not being allowed to. and our courts will remain active. our courts are active. we prosecute and we have over 6,000 cases that have been prosecuted since three years since ensued. so, we are prepared as much as we can be, but we certainly need help from the federal level because it is not there goes >> joseph, rebecca, thank you and we are sorry for your loss. we know you are working very hard to make sure that what happens to you does not happen to anybody else. we think you all for trying to keep us safe as the theme for today is just that. thank you. >> god bless, carley, thank you. >> todd: in the meantime,

president biden doubling down on his call for unity in mpc interview and the former president trump and supporters. >> my first reaction was, my god, look, there is so much violence now. and we talk about it and a whole notion there is this -- there is no place at all for violence in politics in america, none. how do you talk about the threat to democracy, which is real when the president says things like he says? do you just not say it because he can incite somebody? look my am not engaged in that rhetoric. >> carley: restoring america editor at the the washington examiner, kaylee mcghee white, during the president's first answer, he mentions january 6th in charlottesville right off of the bat. after the interview, president biden's campaign said,

"their strategy moving forward is to prove joe biden is the calming voice in the room while donald trump is a threat to democracy." how does that turn down the temperature? >> it is just remarkable. bit show biden has no intention to try to unify the nation and no attention of lowering the rhetoric at all. he said he made a mistake in saying he claimed that trump needed to be put in the bull's-eye and a few sentences later, reiterated this observed notion trump as a threat to the nation. i think what is so frustrating about this for a lot of americans i talked to hear in milwaukee and rnc and americans back in the midwest, this is bigger than donald trump. when biden says these things about donald trump, he is a fascist, like hitler, what he is implying anyone who supports him as the same because we are voting for him. by implication, this is the idea, that americans are also

fascists and what did say that last year on stage and smeared trump supporter's smi fascist fear that is the root of the divide in this country and until joe biden takes personal responsibility for his role in furthering that divide, nothing is going to help this country move forward. >> todd: here is the attempted walk back. it is a little hard to understand and process. here is joe biden talking with lester holt, listen. >> i wasn't going to run again because i lost my son. until i wash what happen in charlottesville, virginia, first coming out of the woods with torches, caring swastikas, singing the same nazi bios ku klux klan. and bystander, the president, then president was asked, what do you think? he said, they are fine people on both sides. they are not fine people on both sides. >> todd: that was a

sound bite, carley -- >> carley: another moment there. >> todd: let's focus on the bull's-eye, and his tone and how he says it leaves questions unanswered. let's listen to that. >> the mistakes come i didn't say crosshairs but i met bull's-eye and focus on what he is doing, focus on his policies, focus on the number of lies he told in the debate. the focus was on what he is saying. and the idea. >> todd: kaylee, did that do it and tone down the temperature? regardless, is that the extent of toning down the temperature you expect from president biden between now and november 5th? >> well i'm i think, to be honest, i'm not worried about the bull's-eye, as i am about what he went on to say in the interview which was reiterating this insane notion trump is a threat to the nation. this proves that biden has no intention of campaigning on anything but this idea trump is

a threat to democracy. and i don't blame him because he is nothing else to campaign on. can't campaign on his policies. we can't campaign on himself because americans are concerned about his mental fitness to serve in the office another four years. the only thing he has left his hyperbole about donald trump. we see where that has led us. i think this is part of the reason you see such unity in the g.o.p. of right now is people are rallying together, not just for donald trump, but against the division joe biden is responsible for selling. >> carley: and that interview when i talked about classified documents and president biden said i had independent prosecutor with use of classified documents and i didn't do a darn thing wrong. i think robert her might beg to differ with that line. kaylee, thank you for joining us. i know it has been a busy week for a more fun to come, have a great day. >> todd: democrats already

elected official. he is a washington, d.c., swamp creature. you have trump's who comes out of california. we have not seen someone who understands the place of the midwest. this is something we seek their lipid j.d. vance. he grew up in poverty and able to not only take what you learned from his time growing up in poverty, but he then thought to take himself and put himself through ivy league universities, and then he came out of that and became a successful businessman and ultimately a senator. he is the american dream work at this is the american dream. you go from poverty to being the vice presidential pick of the united states, and he will be the next vice president, i believe. it is an incredible story and it is that cinderella story who everybody in the working class in michigan or in ohio or in the indiana, illinois, wisconsin looks at that and says, "i can be that too periods" this man

will be the sitting vice president of the united states of america. how does it get any better than that? >> carley: vice president kamala harris called j.d. vance and welcomed him into the race, very nice, very friendly. but that's where it stops because she also says she doesn't want to debate him and she wants to do the cbs news debate. i think there are two code dates she is interested in. one of the reasons we are hearing the former president chose j.d. vance as running mate if you can imagine that debate taking place. j.d. vance will do a good job. how do you think that will unfold if it happens? >> i think he will absolutely. he will be respectful, and they will have two differing opinions on things, like i said, coming out of california and the midwest. it will be a fantastic contrast the thing we have to take away from that, this race is on and we are done trying to figure out

who the presidential nominee will be on the democrat side. they have set these debates and she has already talked to him from vice presidential perspective. we don't have to sit and wonder what the democrats are doing any more. they are deciding is time to put it to bed and kamala harris is the vp. we are ready to go. >> todd: i'm looking at this question from a different perspective, their reports kamala in camp most worried to debate was j.d. vance. ten seconds to you, to door, how worried should kamala harris be? >> she should be worried. she doesn't have the perspective of the midwest but she doesn't have perspective of the working class and that is what the american people are looking for emma who will help me get more money in my pocket and talk about it? it will be j.d. vance. >> carley: tudor, thank you for joining us on this very busy tuesday morning. here is a question, how will j.d. vance's election down

ballot races for republicans question marks be one that is an excellent question so we will ask it to ohio senate candidate, j.d. vance. bring him around, next. ♪ ♪
