started the school seven years ago. the largest k to 12 schools. >> why did you choose education? >> it is foundational to the american dream. >> great company in wisconsin. at the diner have met a lot of small business owners as well. hard working folks who just want to have law and order, tax code that's fair and less regulation. ma'am, j.d. vance is the talk of today. >> i think it's a great choice and great for president trump and the country. >> this is trump country, no doubt, right? you go about 30 minutes out of milwaukee and you know what you are getting. it has been a pleasure joining you on the couch this wednesday morning on "fox & friends." more coverage across the channel. >> bill: good morning. today the motive remains a

mystery. the f.b.i. struggling to uncover the mindset of the man who shot former president trump this past weekend. we're learning more information about how he got ready for this as we say good morning back here in milwaukee. the morning of day three. push can convention rolls on and so do we. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we begin today because the questions get harder and the answers seem more unbearable. we begin with exclusive new video showing another angle of the chaos that unfolded after the shots rang out, watch. >> someone is shot. someone is shot. >> bill: something else to watch. every single one of them. we knew this past weekend there would be more images. had to be, right? they continue to be uncovered and one of them right now.

now we want to show you this. this is video of a police car trying to ram through the fence in an attempt to gain access to the building where the shooter was located. the f.b.i. now sharpening its focus on the shooter's movements in the 24-hour period prior to the attack. >> dana: here is what we're learning at this hour. the gunman went to a shooting range the day before the rally where he practiced firing. the morning of the shooting, he bought 50 rounds of ammo from a local gun shop and a ladder from home depot. >> rally goers noticed him more than a minute before he open fire and tried to warn officials. the f.b.i. interviewed a police officer who confronted the gunman seconds before he turned his fire on the former president. >> dana: this was not the only assassination plot targeting former president trump. we're learning u.s. intelligence uncovered a possible iranian plot to assassinate him unrelated to the shooting saturday. david spunt will share those

details from the justice department. let's begin with jonathan serrie on the scene in butler, pennsylvania. what are we learning today, jonathan? >> good morning, dana. cell phone videos taken by spectators at the saturday rally are helping law enforcement piece together their response to the horrible moments that ensued after that shooting. multiple videos show people in the bleachers calling police for help and this video police carry a bloody victim down from the stands. in another video police are trying to reach the location of the shooter but you see them blocked by a perimeter fence. they first try to scale the fence. eventually ram the fence with a police cruiser to create an opening. the army veteran who shot the video was surprised the security plan did not involve a pat rolled access point in case of this very type of emergency. secret service counter sniper

shot the gunman seconds after the attacker fired shots from the roof of the building overlooking the rally. a federal law enforcement source tells fox news local officers were inside the building that the shooter had used but local media site other sources who claim the cops were only in a nearby building. senator chuck grassley wrote a letter to the department of homeland securities inspector general saying this was a monumental security failure. former president trump came within a centimeter of death because a gunman was able to get within hundreds of feet and in direct line of fire from where he spoke to his supporters. this afternoon members of the house and senate will receive separate virtual briefings from the secret service and f.b.i. house oversight committee chairman james comer is expected to formly issue a subpoena for the secret service director cheatle to compel her hearing scheduled on monday.

it would force -- again, that hearing on monday. want to show you this picture, wpx itv obtained a photo showing a couple belongings, cell phone and transmitter. if it was intended as a detonator. earlier, dana and bill, authorities said they had found what they described as rexplosie devices in the gunman's car. >> dana: now to david spunt with more on that possible iranian assassination plot. >> we've confirmed this from four government federal sources who say that there was a human source that came forward, a confidential human source in recent weeks and warned of an assassination plot against former president trump. at that point the homeland security apparently beefed up

the security imprint for former president donald trump when it comes to secret service protection but that is square against what critics are saying because former president trump was almost assassinated. they say the security was not enough on saturday night. these four sources say at this point there is no indication this is related in any way to thomas crooks from pennsylvania. we find out about it shortly after. so clearly those questions are being asked. one of those sources made it clear the former president has had a continuous threat stream against his life since he ordered the killing of soleimani in january of 2020. recently that source came to the intelligence community and gave information about a new plot brewing. we also know the department of homeland security has been uncomfortable with former president donald trump's campaign doing outside events and rallies. the former president known sometimes to do spontaneous

events. unannounced events that are often outside and a grave concern. the thing we're trying to figure out and haven't been able to yet and trump team is trying to figure out and others in the community is apparently trump security was increased because of this threat over the past few weeks but then that's kind of going counterintuitive to what we saw saturday night when it looks like he didn't have enough security or at least the security plan was not appropriate, dana. >> dana: great point. thank you, david. >> bill: a former f.b.i. special agent and specialist in behavior. robin, good morning to you outside of washington, d.c. you say one of the motivations of a killer for murder is loathing. explain that. >> dana: we'll work on his audio here. okay. >> bill: our apologies about that. we are talking to robin before the show began.

he said a number of interesting things with our team and producers. one of them, this whole idea about loathing. he says you start to see an arc of behavior where he had been bullied through his life. i think that's something we have not yet talked about. >> dana: i feel like because there has been so much news and you had the triumphant rising of president trump after that attempt that that has been so much of the news and then trump gets here and rnc gets underway and we know the investigation is ongoing and know crooks is the one who shot the gun. we don't know a lot about them. it took days to get into the phone. a report on that in a little bit but we don't know his motives. talking to somebody like robin drake we'll bring it to you. he says loathing a victim mindset, access to weapons, those three can be a deadly combination. >> bill: call for number three. the scene, the graphic we've made for this. one of the things that the experts are talking about

including robin drake the building was used by locals as a staging area and known and identified by law enforcement that may have given them reason to think the area was clear and clean. so we have a connection now and robin, welcome to our coverage. explain the initial question, one of the motivations you say for murder is loathing. how do you track that right now when there is very little fingerprint that has been reported to us about what he was doing or thinking online or with friends and family? >> all we have to really go on is what we know and observe. people try to really fit the narrative politically into this. when we don't see a lot of narrative that is anti-trump necessarily, we have to look at what we do know. we know he has been bullied extensively throughout his life. motivation for not necessarily assassination but murder is loathing. loathing towards those people he feels have disenfranchised him. possibly he was trying to impress the people that have bullied him his entire life and

kind of like the hinckley case where he tried assassinating ronald reagan. it wasn't about anti-reagan but trying to impress jodie foster. i'm thinking it might be more of that. >> dana: as a behavioralist and when you look at somebody like this and the person is dead and you don't have a lot of information and you are looking for clues, is there anything that you can glean from either your personal experience or other shootings that you have covered that would give you indication as to what his thinking was? at this point we don't see a lot of evidence of anti-trump sentiment. >> i agree. i think his thinking was in a very rude meantry 20-year-old mind with not a lot of life experience we can guess that he was going to try to have a

distraction to get off the roof to go back to this group that has bullied him and say look at me. a lot of times when people have tried assassinating or killing celebrities it is about the moment where they look good themselves. this is not necessarily an anti-trump issue. i think it was more of a look at me issue. >> bill: maybe this whole idea about being bullied is too much of an easy out. maybe he was just really good at covering his tracks because at this point it seems like that's a possibility. >> it's a definite possibility. but when you look at -- i like looking at behavior arcs, being separate from everyone else and not a lot of footprints anywhere. not like he has all the online rants. he has gaming intercourse on discord and things like that but not a huge amount of footprint. other people we've seen throughout time we've seen they

have had manifestos and what happens is those become escalations towards the event that they will do. in this case we're not seeing a lot of this. it is hard to imagine that a 20-year-old had the forethought years ago to cover his tracks in t the -- something he was going to try to do to get notoriety. >> dana: we might call you back as we learn more to find out what was going through his mind. thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: to last night. >> donald trump has my strong endorsement period. >> joe biden has failed this nation. donald trump is the president who will actually unite this country. >> bill: what do you do for an encore? bring back your best hit, right? they did again last night with the former president entering the arena for night two. a party once divided now comes

together. donald trump's former rivals unite behind him as j.d. vance gets ready for his prime time debut here in milwaukee. >> dana: a totally different picture. opposite picture for the democrats. the party still concerned about president biden's age. is he even listening to any of them? >> bill: good question. amid calls for change, not a dry eye in the house. a mother whose son died from fentanyl brings delegates to tears putting a human face on the toll of the open border policies of the current administration. >> this was not an overdose, it was a poisoning. his whole future, everything we ever wanted for him was ripped away in an instant and joe biden does nothing.

>> president trump is a leader and see the leader our country needs. earlier this week, we saw just how tough, resilient, courageous and daring this man is and we can't get him back in the white house fast enough. >> bill: the governor of arkansas worked with president trump in the white house, republican standing shoulder to shoulder. his former rivals throwing support behind him with j.d. vance making his big debut on the big stage tonight. we have a preview of that and more. bill, good morning. >> good morning to you as well. the push for republican unity was on full display here at the rnc last night. we had both nikki haley and ron desantis get up on stage and express full support for donald trump. this was after a brutal republican primary season we all remember, but now looks like the hatchet is buried. take a listen. >> you don't have to agree with

trump 100% of the time to vote for him but we agree more often than we disagree. >> our enemies do not confine their designs to between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. america cannot afford four more years of a weekend at bernie's presidency. >> focus on the border of crime and everyday americans spoke out. emotional speeches last night including a mom who lost her son to crime. another mom who lost her son to a fentanyl overdose. take a listen. >> it is too late for my son, weston, say his name, joe biden, weston, but we can change this for your children. we need president trump back to save the lives of our kids. >> my son, sergeant korea, an afghanistan war retired veteran,

he received enemy fire from the taliban only to be murdered with a knife on the streets of new york city. >> now tonight rnc night three the theme will be make america strong again. a heavy emphasis on foreign policy. the headliner will be j.d. vance who recently confirmed he spoke to v.p. kamala harris. vance expected to talk about his upbringing tonight. other speakers tonight include texas governor greg abbott and jewish alumni of harvard university who is now suing harvard for discrimination as a result of all those anti-israel protests we saw sweeping across college campuses across the country after the october 7th massacre. >> bill: we'll see what we get tonight. so far for performance we score

two for two. bill melugin in milwaukee. >> who do you listen to an deeply personal issues decisions whether to stay in the race or not? >> president biden: me. look, i've been doing this a long time. >> dana: a council of one. democrats concerned over his age and fitness to serve are not going anywhere. let's bring in charlie hurt, washington times opinion editor, mary kathryn hamm and fox news contributor and jessica tarlov. i wanted to bring this up. the unity that you feel here at the rnc and you can feel it across the nation for the republicans, right, coming together they feel like this is their candidate and their moment. they have the momentum. everything is going well. the opposite is true for the democrats. vance talked to kamala harris

and debate. i don't think i would debate august 12th. that might not be the ticket. >> it is crazy. we have no idea. i get it. we're at the republican convention so the republican unity is on display here. the whole plan for democrats is to portray donald trump as chaotic, divisive and the party is disunited. what we've seen is the opposite of that. you have the democrat party where you have not only democrat -- top democrats in the media but leaders talking about how terrible their nominee is and so we have no idea who will be the nominee or number two on the ticket. the one thing i will say i'm grateful for is i think hassoun filed the whole country. they want to see a j.d. vance/kamala harris debate. democrats and republicans want to see it. i want to see it. >> bill: long before we get there, are democrats going to put his name in nomination at a very early date? >> there is a letter from a number of congress people that

will come out pushing back on the dnc for doing that. the rules do not mean they have to do the early roll call vote. it's manipulative. the funny fight going on on x, nate silver is saying you are being disingenuous. in this moment, it links to the lester holt interview listening only to myself. whether he ends up the nominee or not. he is now our nominee who beat donald trump as overseen a slough of elections where democrats have overperformed but you don't want to make people who have legitimate concerns, concerns that you have recognized to the point you are getting on calls with members, telling members if you need to run away from me when you are out there campaigning, go ahead and do it. that is not commensurate with having an early roll call vote and a danger to the party and our chances as being as unified as you are here today in

chicago. they're news people. >> dana: the other thing is you saw this desperation move by biden yesterday saying okay, i got to not only save my nomination, try to win the presidency, i have to keep my left wing happy he comes up last night and says you have to help me. if you are with me and we win again, we'll put term limits on the supreme court. >> i swear it is as if he was trying to think of something that maybe the vance pick didn't work for certain anti-trump republicans who are ideological. maybe this will do the trick, right? the attack on the supreme court could do it. and to charlie's point a real contrast. this is a huge diversion from norms. i don't know if they will announce it. the democrats are in a pickle, the technical term. this is like trying to cancel a wedding after the invites have gone out. every day we go closer to the wedding it gets harder and

harder. >> dana: and you still have to pay i the caterers. >> bill: to your point, dana, biden's rescue operation leap left to survive is axios. since the disastrous debate last month he has embraced a laundry list of left wing policy proposals. still try to limit spontaneous unscripted moments. it saved his candidacy for now, end quote. it reminds me of an old school politician move. >> and a desperate one. >> bill: reaching for anything on the shelf that's available to him. >> if you have to run far to the left at this point in your political career it is desperate. let's stop for a second. the idea that a guy, been in washington for 50 years, getting it wrong for 50 years. suddenly comes up with the idea he wants to put term limits on the supreme court? are you kidding me? this is such a ridiculous jump. >> dana: people worried about

his age and he is thinking the supreme court term limits? what about the money, jessica. money drives politics and campaigns. donors are quoted all over the place saying they don't want him on the ticket. they don't want to give the money and i imagine the dnc is out there telling democratic voters not only do we want you to vote for biden for another four years but we want your money, hard earned money. that a stretch for me. >> there has been a lot of ink spilled, digital ink about how many has dried up. about 90 million coming in from the top donors. i was speaking to a fundraiser, he got a number of -- it was enough confidence to win and we're back in. the axios reporting resigned to losing that won't happen. the money will flow. on the lurching leftward here on the supreme court thing i want

to say it is an overwhelmingly popular position for there to be term limits, everyone. senators, congress people and supreme court. part of what president biden is proposing is to have ethics standards and we do not talk enough about the relationship between clarence thomas and crowe. >> and sotomayor. >> what did she do, her book? are you kidding me? these things are completely incomparable. pro-publy ca has done reporting on this and underdiscussed and that's the kind of things that joe biden is talking about. and that does resonate with voters. >> bill: i have to get mk in here. the argument to the side, what about this moment last night? what about going back eight years ago where half the republican party was on his side and now just about everyone is on board the trump train? >> i think there couldn't be a more perfect recipe for unity.

it was traumatic that brings everyone together and you saw that last night. i think nikki haley in particular is making a pitch that is specifically targeted smartly to a very specific kind of voter who said -- that line said you don't have to agree with him 100% of the time. every one of these speakers is giving voters a path to donald trump. look at the path i walked, including j.d. vance, by the way. >> dana: great to have you three. >> bill: see you tomorrow morning. set your alarm. thanks, guys. today the f.b.i. and the secret service will brief members of congress on the trump shooting. how much intel will they share? the house speaker mike johnson will join us live here in milwaukee. plus you have the new digital evidence that might offer fresh leads on the assassination attempt this past saturday on the former president. next, it's on your skin. i got cosentyx. feels good to move. feel less joint pain swelling

wpxi, a station in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. they acquired this photo from apparently the rooftop of that building nearby. looks like a cell phone, a nine volt battery and some sort of remote control device. what can you make of from this? >> well, what i can make of it is i hope they are trying to extract as much data as they can from the cell phone. if it is indeed different from the ones they said offered new clues to motives or ideology any intel analyst working for the government worth their salt will be combing through that cell phone if they can get into it per vendors. they are not going to be looking for content but connections. who was he talking to? he played video games. who is he talking to? has he used any of these digital platforms for operational planning? when i worked in the big tech company that was our worst nightmare, is he using the

platform to move and plan the event? there are so many things you can do to try to extract and exploit this information. they have to be going after this with everything they have. thus far it has turned up bunk in terms of the digital connections in his phone thus far. >> dana: for those watching and me, i don't play video games and i don't have kids playing them. can you explain the messaging function? it works like text messaging but through the video game app? >> exactly. this is one of the platforms that we had trouble exploiting. i was an al qaeda terrorist analyst. i looked at the digital communications of these al qaeda operatives and you would have specific terrorists actually direct message point to point messages within the platforms of some of these companies. so even if you have people like me who have been on the job for almost ten years going through the digital communications and

social media, your average what they talk about on facebook and what they talk about on twitter and other platforms, these video games have thus far been left untouched. maybe you probe there. i'm not saying we know anything about it. but we should not be just saying oh, he has no digital and we don't know who he has talked to and what he has been saying. the world is saturated with sensors. he has had a digital life. we need to do better about finding out. >> bill: they must have information. it doesn't make sense unless he was that crafty and covered his tracks and to do that he had to have an exceedingly insidious mind or help or both. >> bill, i have never seen a 20-year-old with his background with that type of operational

security. you have hardened al qaeda terrorists not as good as this kid presumably was if there is no trace of him. i think what the big tech companies do kind of lends a clue here. it was part of my job to look for, after an attack happened like this, you right away if you catch a whiff of it on the news you go in, work with your cross functional team in operations teams and trust and safety engineers and try to figure out if there is an active account on the platform. sometimes these companies will take that information down but they should be preserving those records for potential investigations going forward. maybe the public just hasn't seen it yet. that's part of what the tech companies do and what the government should be doing right now. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: thank you. >> thanks. >> this -- my son is gone. this fight is for your children. we owe it to our children to elect a president who will win the war against fentanyl once

>> dana: swing states will likely decides who resides in the white house. nevada, arizona and michigan are all up for grabs. we'll talk about that, though. according to fox new power rankings. joining us are the gop chairs for the states michael mcdonald from nevada and one from arizona and one from michigan. the president is going to michigan on saturday and michigan is still one of the states that could go either way. >> absolutely. it went for the president in 2016, joe biden in 2020 and we'll put it back in president trump's column this year. >> bill: for all three of you, here is where it stands. if you put all the polling together arizona trump has a lead by six points.

michigan by about a point and nevada about five points. that checks out so far. what we're hearing is that the state parties, especially in michigan and perhaps arizona, have been a mess internally. how would you address that criticism now? >> what is happening is we've had a sorting of the parties. it started pre-tea party and where we are now is the voters have common sense. independents in arizona have absorbed the republican party. we've learned how to get along and working together to win now. that's what it was. we had a divergent group, the base shifted. >> bill: how would you characterize the status of the party now first in arizona? >> we're united and ready to win. >> michigan we're in great shape. donor class is back and grassroots is excited for the rally on saturday. we broke all records for the trump campaign in the number of people who registered to come out and come to the rally on

saturday. we are fired up and we areing to do well. >> dana: i want you to listen to president biden when he was in nevada. he was there yesterday at the naacp event and what he says. call for four. watch. >> president biden: we're building an economy from the middle out and bottom up. with that happens the middle class has a shot and the wealthy still do very well. we're also improving the wall street didn't build america. the middle class built america and unions built the middle class. we have to do more. that's what i'm determined to finish this job. >> dana: i understand the trump campaign believes nevada is not really a battleground state. they've got that pretty much in the bag. is there anything that could tip it? is it the union vote? >> we're fighting for everything. especially having a union leader on the stage first time in the republican party was phenomenal. unions did build las vegas. i was born and raised there and

how joe biden comes to tell us what's happening in nevada. he has no clue. we have union workers coming in. we've been working that since he left. his message is resonating with the working men and women. i represent them. >> bill: one thing that i have not heard a lot of until last night was a four-letter word called vote. and lara trump touched on it toward the end but it hasn't been significant in the convention thus far. would you like to hear more of that? >> absolutely. you have to have it. you have to drive that message home. we've been doing a lot in las vegas in reno and lake tahoe and our rural communities are very strong. >> dana: can i ask you about joe biden came out with a new policy. he wants to cap rents. inflation has had compounding effects and might sound popular to say that rents should be

capped. how will republicans respond to that? >> one more washington solution to local problems. that's out of washington, cap rents makes absolutely no sense. in michigan we're seeing people just rebelling against washington policies. especially electric vehicles. forcing people to buy vehicles that just don't work in michigan and put michigan automobile workers out of jobs. >> bill: we need regulatory reform. one of the things that president trump understands better than anyone else it hurts the working class. we don't need more government intervention into the free market which causes us to lose jobs and too burdensome and businesses leave. you need five years out to make an investment. how do you do that when democrats change the entire structure of your industry every 15 minutes? >> dana: it's an issue there in

nevada and also we have in the time we have president trump's idea to not tax tips. there is nuance to the arguments but what do you think about it? >> we've been discussing this since the first term. the union workers, it represents everything in america. it is a gift. so if i give you a gift, tax is a gift and something president trump liked and when he said it on stage this wasn't tell prompted. everything was -- it was off the cuff. we spoke probably five minutes before he went on stage and he said no tax on tips and that has gone across the nation. you are putting money back in the pockets. >> dana: did you see increase in support for trump after he said that? >> absolutely. he represents the true working men and women. >> bill: you will hear that tomorrow night. gina and pete, thank you, michael mcdonald. are you in person. nice to see you. >> dana: they thought your joke was done on the floor.

>> bill: so elon musk has been making a lot of news this week. now he says he is leaving the state of california because of a controversial new bill signed into law by the governor newsom. william la jeunesse live in los angeles for the scoop on this. what's up? >> well, bill, it means a lot of high-paying jobs moving out of california to texas, musk's frustration with the left wing policies of california prompted him yesterday to say he will relocate the headquarters of both x formerly twitter out of san francisco and spacex out of los angeles. according to musk, the last straw was a controversial bill signed by governor newsom this week banning teachers from notifying parents about changes in their child's sexual identity.

conservatives and many parent groups believe teachers should be required to tell parents if a child is changing their name or pronoun, dressing differently in school or seeking medical information about gender modification. newsom disagreed and when he sided with the trends gender lobby musk called it is last straw. i made it clear to governor newsom a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave california to protect their children. now what does it mean? x employees about 1500 in san francisco, many will now relocate to austin, texas where musk said employees don't have to dodge gangs of violent drug addicts to get in and out of the building referring to the headquarters in san francisco. now la-based spacex with 4,000 employees will move its headquarters to the company's star base facility in south texas. we asked but the company wouldn't say how many jobs would be leaving california.

those executives, engineers, lawyers, analysts are high-paying jobs. in response governor newsom mocked musk for pandering to donald trump and texas welcomed the news. >> bill: might roll out the red carpet in austin before the day is over. nice to see you. >> dana: i think they will. also the people who live in austin now who are dealing with all the traffic issues. they are probably thinking great, gavin newsom. keep screwing up and sending them here. >> bill: musk with a big pac he announced, $45 million a month for several months. peter teal, david sax and j.d. vance draws a thread between these guys. >> dana: he raised $12 million for the trump campaign at that event there right as there was discussions of who would be the v.p. i have a feeling trump knew who it would be all along. entertain some ideas maybe
