and watch the video of a would be assassin coming a quarter of an inch from taking his life. consider the lies they told you about donald trump and then look at that photo of him defiant, fist in the air, when donald trump rose to his feet in that pennsylvania field, all of america stood with him. [cheers and applause] >> dana: republican vice presidential candidate j.d. vance with a rousing tribute to his running mate, donald trump praising his strength, will and determination to bounce back from adversity to fight for the people of our wonderful country and make am great once again. welcome to a new hour. i'm dana perino. >> bill: hanging in there? >> dana: i'm great. >> bill: it has been a marathon. we knew it coming in. i'll bill hemmer, j.d. vance making his case to send the former president back to the white house. that was just a warm-up for tonight when trump delivers a

highly-anticipated acceptance speech that will be his first public remarks since he was shot five days ago. meanwhile now you have the head of the secret service facing pointed questions about the shooting and how it ever was allowed to happen in the first place. angry republican senators confronting her yesterday here at the convention hall in milwaukee. this is how that went.

>> dana: the blame game continuing back in pennsylvania. the butler township commissioner talking to fox earlier today. >> did the secret service have a adequate planning? >> again, steve, i really don't want to comment on that. i guess obviously we can all make a judgment from what we saw on the videos, all i'm doing primarily is defending my team and that from being thrown under the bus in this situation. and i do hope that the investigation is done rigorously and the truth comes out and that's what i want. >> bill: i believe you will hear from him again next tuesday. i believe he is one of those

that will be before the house committee in d.c. and it will be on television. jonathan serrie live in butler, pennsylvania. where are we now? bring us up to speed? >> the story is unfolding as we speak. republican lawmakers are calling on the secret service director to resign. you saw that video that senator marsha blackburn posted on social media, video showing her and three fellow senators confronting kimberly cheatle in person at the republican national convention. >> can you give us an explanation why was anyone allowed to go on stage when you know you have a potential threat? >> local tv station wtae has

cell phone video that appears to show crooks lurking in the background on saturday's rally an hour before the shooting. a local gop activist said he had concerns going into saturday's event. >> i've been to every trump -- 20 trump rallies across the country and the first one i noticed there was a lack of security. that kind of concerned me on saturday there. >> the shots were fired from the roof of the agr building located just outside the secret service perimeter. while the feds relied on several state and county agencies to provide security outside the perimeter, a butler township commissioner says it was not the assignment for his small town police department. >> the butler township police department is an honorable department, works hard. our detail was specifically planned for traffic detail only. there was no security, no

protection detail whatsoever. >> even so, bill, it was a pair of butler police officers who responded to the call of a suspicious individual on that rooftop. one officer using his hand to hoist the other to the roof. the other officer holding with both hands on the roof peering over seeing the gunman pointing his weapon at him. the commissioner says with both hands on the rooftop there is no way the officer could draw his weapon. he ended up losing his grip of the roof, fell back to the ground and injured himself but the officers were able to report an armed individual on the rooftop but just moments later that is when the gunfire erupted. >> bill: more to come from you throughout the day. i believe the gentleman also said they had seven police officers on their force on saturday and they were all on traffic duty. >> yes.

they had seven police officers assigned to traffic duty. it was a large proportion of their police force. i believe it was 1/three of the total police force involved with this rally. all of them assigned to traffic duty, not security. but obviously things changed very rapidly, bill. >> bill: thanks to you. back to you shortly. >> dana: judge janine pirro is co-host of the five and kayleigh mcenany. judge, as the officer sees him, falls down, injures himself, is there any yelling of there is a shooter on the roof? >> well, it doesn't seem that that is the case. one of the issues that i think we're looking at now is the communication. were they all on the same band? were they all able to contact each other? it doesn't seem that is the case. now, if the local police were really just involved in traffic, then kimberly cheatle, the

director of secret service, came out and said no, we have the inner perimeter, they have the outer perimeter. right from the get-go if that isn't confirmed, that is a lie on her part. and we've also got a scenario where he is seen an hour before. he is seen 26 minutes before. he is seen two minutes before. we get all these different timelines. the bottom line is anyone in security knows that the president of the united states, he should not have taken the stage at that point. you don't allow him out. the fact that that happened and the 20-year-old with no military experience, with a secret service with heightened security because of the designs by iran is embarrassing. for her to come here saying she is here to oversee security arrangements. are you feeling security today? >> dana: not because of that. >> bill: here is the timeline, right?

we were five days removed as of today from the assassination attempt on saturday. that's july 13th. monday, july 22nd cheatle is supposed to be in a public forum. i don't know if she will have a job by then or if that hearing will happen. right now it's on the schedule. tuesday you have the officials from pennsylvania and then chris wray goes there on wednesday. all this will bleed into next week. >> this is stunning. senior law enforcement official who knows this scenario well, knows presidential protection, told me he was beside himself at the thought that she did not directly come out and give a briefing. instead went to the rnc. she says this is not the forum to have this discussion. well, what forum is there to have a discussion? your abc news interview where you said my guys can't stand on a sloped roof? abc news interview where you said i'm here to stay? what's the forum? i think john barrasso, who doesn't often get heated, he

said it best. resignation or full explanation now. it is income present henceible you allowed this cast many where the american people had no information. no briefing from the secret service or department of homeland security or doj on camera. the first assassination attempt of a sitting president in 43 years and you aren't communicating information to us? what a failure. >> dana: also want the play this for you. joy reid said last night well, it is just stunning what joy reed said. call for number three said about biden having covid. watch here. >> an elderly man was given nine seconds to take an iconic photo op during an active shooting situation. the survival of that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength. this current president of the united states is 81 years old and has covid.

should he be fine in a couple of days, doesn't that convey exactly the same thing? it is not exactly the same incident but it is an elderly man coming through out of an illness. >> it should. >> bill: wow. you can remove a bullet with surgery and i guess with covid you can take -- >> the hatred is on full display. i hate to use those words but there is nothing that president trump can be subjected to that is enough for them. and the destruction of this man is really more important to them than anything else. of course, we feel badly that president biden has covid, but in the end there is no question who is strong and who is weak here and i think tonight the president in his speech is going to make that very clear, strength against weakness and the man who shot, who stands up with his fist up as opposed to

know an elderly man who has covid. >> covid-19. ironic the statement made a statement i would step aside if my doctor told me that. the carter era malaise. >> dana: three things to get him out. the almighty told him. polls looking bad for a health issue. all three have just happened. then i call it covid 24 now. >> thank you, see you on "the five." >> bill: president biden leaning into a left wing agenda. he canceled another 1.2 billion in student loans today. the new bail-out coming as mainstream democrats renew a push to get biden to end his re-election bid. to edward lawrence, fox business, live on the north lawn of the white house. hello to you. here we go. come and get it, it's free. >> is it free, though? that's the question.

defiant president joe biden at his beach house in delaware defiant because he refuses to step aside and now proposing some plans, agenda items farther to the left than his first term. president biden i will get to student loans in a second. he is now preparing to ask congress to add term limits to u.s. supreme court justices as former head of senate judiciary committee biden resisted major changes to the high court then. now the left of the democratic party is pushing because of recent court rulings. johnson said this is desperate campaign talk. >> they want to expand the number of justices when things don't go their way. then impeach them. now terms limits? it is absurd. never passed through congress and it is in the constitution they serve for life based on good behavior. we would have to change everything about the tradition and the way the court is organized. >> president biden announcing the cancellation of student loan debt for 35,000 people through

the public service loan forgiveness plan. teachers, first responders. the total debt forgivenness to $168 billion using rule changes that single handedly ballooned the federal deficit to almost $2 trillion. >> president biden: we'll keep relieving student debt. [applause] we'll end medical debt. i've already made sure medical debt can no longer be put on a credit report. >> regardless of the high court as well as the everything he will keep going with the student loan forgiveness. >> bill: 13 past. here we go. >> we had seven officers deployed and that's one/3 of our total force. several thousand cars coming into the area.

>> dana: new revelations of the final minutes and seconds before shots rang out at the trump rally. how did law enforcement miss the threat front in front of them? >> bill: president biden has covid. democrats calling for him to drop out. how deep is his political crisis today. talk to bret baier coming up shortly. >> dana: donald trump set to give his first speech since the attempt on his life on saturday. the preview of his prime time address continues as our coverage from milwaukee rolls right along. s a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. the newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. so if you're in a situation where you need some help financially, give us a call.

>> dana: fox news alert. fire trucks joining a funeral procession for corey comperatore. the hero firefighter shot and

killed at the trump rally on saturday. his funeral is today in free port, pennsylvania. we send our best to his family. >> bill: wow. hang tough to all of them. >> if the site that there was the secret service, pennsylvania state police, butler county sheriff's department and the butler township police. im not here to throw anyone under the bus. i'm protecting my team for what is a completely unacceptable suggestion. i do hope that the investigation is done rigorously and that the truth comes out. that's what i want. >> bill: there you go. butler township officials in pennsylvania defending their local police department as we learn the shooter was flagged as suspicious more than an hour before he opened fire on the former president, donald trump. raising more questions about the security lapses at that rally. retired secret service agent joins us now. thank you for your time. every day we enter this area and

leave we see dozens and dozens of your fellow secret service officers, it is emblazoned across their chest. i can't imagine what they are going through now as the finger of blame gets pointed in multiple directions. give us the main point that you are thinking about right now. >> well, thank you for having me, i appreciate it. the most important point is that we all need to realize that we can point the fingers at the butler township police department but at the end of the day the secret service signs off on those advance documents and we're ultimately responsible. so this last five days of the director or upper administration of the secret service failing to address the american people or point the finger at local law enforcement is just not right. american people deserve better. the former president deserves better. the individuals who were harmed and the individual who died deserve better and at the end of

the day we just need to say what it is. this was a catastrophic failure of communications. we've known this for decades. we rely too heavily on our local counterparts to do the jobs that we are designed to do. so this is a catastrophic failure. any other explanation beyond that is just completely asinine. >> dana: you ask why they didn't readjust security posture when they had information he was a person of interest. i'm not sure about the tomorrow timeline. when the parents of crooks said he was missing and potentially had ill intentions toward president trump. >> according to the reports i've seen, not only the secret service but the butler township police potentially psp had information that he was a person of interest or exhibiting suspicious behavior prior to. my question to not only the

secret service but all the other local law enforcement is why was the former president allowed to take the stage when this individual had not been identified? we did not know where his location was. that would be my question is why the rush? why push him on stage? why not delay? that's protective assignments 101. you have a person of interest that is out there that could potentially be of harm that has gained some type of suspicious intent or exhibited behaviors by someone in authority, why are we rushing the former president on stage? it would have taken nothing to take a tactical pause, assess the situation, locate him, and potentially prevent what we haven't seen in 43 years. >> bill: we got lucky, right? he survived. >> we did. >> bill: america got lucky. share one more thing with you. one second, todd the driller,

great name, he was at the rally and shared these pictures about the sniper. must have been right before the rally began as they are on the roof nearby. >> dana: sloped roof at that. >> bill: two pictures there. you were about to say something and i want to give you a chance to speak. speaker johnson was on here yesterday with dana and me. they are putting together a task force in the house. they will be a certain number of democrats and a certain number of republicans. what we told him is that america deserves answers. otherwise you are going to get theories that will run from here to the moon for the next 20 years. >> yeah, i agree with that. over the last five years, you know, considering my former position, i have had people from family, friends, individuals, strangers that i don't know reaching out to me trying to get answers from me when it should be coming from our agencies and from our administration. and i was just talking to a former co-worker who is with me in studio and i said could you imagine that after 43 years of

having really not an executeable attack on a former president or president, if that bullet would have been an inch to the right, what type of civil unrest not only in the united states that we would have had but also throughout the nation and throughout the world. so we've got to do better as americans in understanding there is such a political divisiveness in this country that has been created by both parties and what i would say is we've got to be better americans. we have to understand that when things go bad, we can't solely look at our government to save us. it will be our neighbors that do that. so that's what brings us together. we've got to do better. >> dana: they tried. civilians tried to alert the authorities as well. >> they did. >> dana: thank you for being with us. we appreciate you, mike. >> it was an honor. >> dana: pushing ahead to tonight donald trump set to take the stage for the first time since the assassination attempt

and his family expected to attend. his son, eric, is here with a preview next. i try to put my arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique.

here's an important benefit for veteran homeowners who need cash. you can take out $70,000 or more with the newday 100 va cash out loan. with home values still close to all-time highs, now's the time to turn your home equity into cash. rates on credit cards and car loans have skyrocketed. pay off those high rate cards and costly car and truck loans and save hundreds of dollars a month, thousands a year. need cash? call newday usa.

>> he may have moved to the ground but he stood back up. my father raised his fist into the air, he looked out at the crowd and what did he say? [cheers and applause] >> bill: it is a rallying cry for the delegates in milwaukee. trump supporters raising their fists last night chanting fight invoking an indelible image of the former president fist in the air seconds after being shot at saturday night at 6:15 eastern time. trump takes the stage tonight for his first speech since the attempt on his life and his son, eric trump, will be on stage as

part of that introduction. good morning, eric. are you going to do the paper bandage on the right ear like some of the delegates? >> it is all over the place. isn't it beautiful? you guys were there in 2016. i was as well and spoke at 2016 and 2020. the love in this room is incredible. honestly even the respect that the media has shown me. i've done every one. walking into enemy territory, msnbc. the love people have shown me and the respect people have shown us. >> bill: what do you mean respect on behalf of the media? >> so often you go on the cnn and get attacked if you are affiliated attacked you would get ruthlessly attacked. i've done every show. a tune in the country has changed following the assassination attempt. there is a respect and love and i hope it continues. >> dana: j.d. vance last night. one of his themes was unity and

i understand it coming from the top down saying this will be our message at the convention, watch j.d. vance here. >> i want to respond to his call for unity myself. we have a big tent in this party on everything from national security to economic policy. but my message to you, my fellow republicans, is we love this country and we are united to win. that's the republican party of the next four years. united in our love for this country and committed to free speech and the open exchange of ideas. [applause] >> dana: so when j.d. vance is speaking he says i'm speaking to all of you republicans. how much will your father tonight talk about americans at large? >> he will. that's his entire speech. first of all, it will be a beautiful first and america first speech. we have the hole in our roof in this country.

nothing is working. food and fuel are expensive. you can't buy anything. you have interest rates that make buying a house unaffordable. 300,000 kids that have died in the country in the last year due to fentanyl. illegal immigrants taking every room and every single hotel in new york city that our taxpayer dollars are paying for while veterans are sleeping under bridges. i could go on and on. our country is a mess. wars all over the world. not respected anymore. no leadership or no cheerleader in the country anymore. my father was the greatest cheerleader this country has had. we have the guy now who is a least inspirational, can't get a message out. doesn't inspire anybody. certainly doesn't cheerlead for the united states of america and we can't in america because we are doing everything rock. you will see my father out there saying we'll fix the problems and making american first and american will be the strongest, toughest, safest. clean up our streets and cities.

we are going to fix the price of everything which has made life unaffordable and bring back the american dream and take your kids to disney world once again, you haven't been able to afford because you have crammed down based on every cost in your life. based on inflation, outpacing wage growth by factors that you can't even imagine. and we need that. my father wants to be the winning coach, right? he wants to be the guy who wins on every single issue. we're not winning on anything now but you'll hear that in a beautiful way. >> bill: we watched the split screen with the speakers on stage and your dad sitting across. >> dana: he is having fun. >> bill: i don't know if he is sitting there as a grandfather or godfather but maybe a bit of both. >> maybe a bit of both. >> dana: we haven't heard from him since the shooting. we've seen him and that first night here was electric. this is the first time people will have heard from him. do you know how he will address the shooting or if he will in

the speech? >> i will let him deliver that. that's his moment. i will let him deliver that. i think my father is on the precipice -- he was always going to be one of the greatest presidents in america history. after everything that's happened and after the movement and after the comeback that he has had and after the attacks and the fact that he has never stopped fighting, i truly think that he is on the verge of going down as truly in the likes of the washingtons and lincolns and the jeffersons. greatest presidents of all time. if he pulls this off. we will win on november 5th. when he pulls this off no one has created the love you see in this room or -- >> bill: you said your dad is a changed mind. not the most introspective if you were to ask him a question about himself. he deflects and goes to a different area. we'll see whether it changes tonight. >> i think when you have a bullet that comes this far away

from killing you and by the grace of god you move your head slightly it changes you. every day we all know people who have got in bad car accidents and barely walk out. it changes priorities in life and what's important and what's not important, lends perspective. he almost died. he almost died based on incompetence. first of all it can never happen again. >> dana: what did you think about her being in the hall last night? >> the fact that she said that they couldn't navigate a roof with a 2% slope. too dangerous and why they didn't have assets on the roof. joe biden calls the secret director as a man when it's a she. the incompetence we're dealing with. it breaks my heart and soul. the men and women on the stage are the finest people you'll meet in your life. i know them personally. they would have taken a bullet for him. if not for the brave guys on the roof that killed the shooter you would have had a lot of those

guys dead as well. a major breakdown. government has no accountability. >> bill: i don't know if joe biden has ever fired anybody. see you on stage. >> dana: i know you're busy, appreciate it. we'll talk about this. deepening divide among democrats and nancy pelosi's role in pressuring president biden to drop out of the race. bret baier is here in milwaukee at the rnc. >> watching their administration lose the gains president donald trump made overseas not only destroys our morale, it empowers our enemies abroad. under their watch.

>> bill: here is breaking news out of russia. "wall street journal" reporter

evan gershkovitch appearing in the russian court. the hearing was held in secret behind closed doors. >> the russian court hearing the case against "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovitch says closing arguments will happen tomorrow after two hearings in less than a month. the second of which happened this morning. you guessed it, once again cameras not allowed inside the courtroom. today's hearing was moved up after a request from gershkovitch's lawyers. the first american-born journalist to be arrested on espionage charges in russia since the cold war. he arrived at his first hearing last month with a shaved head. a source close to his family said his father also shaved his head in solidarity and that the family is anxious to get this sham trial over with. russian foreign minister lavrov said yesterday russian and american intelligence agencies are discussing the possibility of a prisoner swap but that can only happen after the trial

ends. russian prosecutors allege that gershkovitch worked for the c.i.a. while gathering classified information about a state-owned factory that manufactures thanks for the russian war in ukraine. he pled not guilty. "wall street journal" and u.s. government strongly reject the charges against him. still gershkovitch faces up to 20 years in prison. the media will not have access to him again until a verdict comes back. closing arguments set to happen tomorrow, bill. >> bill: let's get him home. nate foye in london on that story today. >> dana: president biden's covid diagnosis forcing him off the campaign trail as top democrats ramp up the pressure campaign to convince him to bow out. bret baier is here and breaking news coming from our colleagues other places, axios reporting top democrats believe that the pressure is ramping up so much, bret, that the president could actually get out of the race this weekend.

>> yeah. >> dana: response this weekend i should say. >> i have had some conversations here with top democrats, names that people will know in the hallways and kind of nooks and crannies of this convention who put the over/under at five days to give the president time to do a dismount of some kind, a speech, a big event. but this is happening. it is going down the hill. the boulder is rolling. you start with chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries meeting in person. you then have nancy pelosi with poll numbers. you have the campaign finance guy saying checks are dry. there is nothing coming in. and i think that this is all adding up to the realization that president biden will not be the nominee and it will happen sooner rather than later. >> bill: politics money is time. >> think about how it's changed in the past few days. the image of him getting into

the s.u.v. , it is just -- >> bill: i want to show this. we talked about this all week. the a.p. poll of those who think he should withdraw. 70% among democrats 65%. the walkup the stairs yesterday. peter said this is not in slow motion. that was this morning at 6:00 a.m. biden principal deputy campaign manager said a moment ago now he said he is staying in the race. the president is in this race. look forward to accepting the nomination in chicago. prior to that he said this. i think when it comes to, if he is open or being receptive to any of that with regard to the president becoming receptive to the possibility of ending his campaign and the president has said it several times he is staying in the race. that was a short time ago. >> he has to say that kind of stuff. there is an evolution how the president has answered the question from god has to tell me, i have to get hit by a train to maybe if they tell me i'm losing and i will lose to if i

have a medical problem. >> dana: we have a medical problem. flailing campaigns don't die from covid but they might die with it. it was three weeks ago tonight at 9:17 p.m. during the debate i stopped taking notes and said it was over. i believed they would pull him. i've waive erred a little bit now and that and sitting here thinking it is three weeks. the next question i have, bret. look at what we have now is painful and sad. >> it is sad. >> dana: i think the next question is can he be president for the next six months? >> they are going to say, i think, that he can and he is going to give this speech and he will have all these people around him. there will be questions about national security. there will be questions about if he is not capable to be the nominee. if he is not capable by the special counsel to stand trial for the classified documents, why is he capable to have the nuclear codes? that will be the next question definitely.

but i think what we're dealing with here is this evolution. just think what may happen. there may be this small primary thing, forum of candidates that happens before we get to chicago august 19th. then chicago. remember, the last democratic convention 1968, open convention, protests outside. this is going to be a wild few weeks >> dana: the transition period from one administration to the next is when you are the most vulnerable as a country. so they might say he is fine for the next six months but i think we all have to realize that one, it is an amazing story to cover. also extremely serious from a national security standpoint. >> very scary. think about van jones says a bullet doesn't take down former president trump. covid has taken down president biden. axelrod is saying it's time. all these names are very

publicly saying it is happening. so i believe it is happening. >> bill: in another way of phrasing it. they've been working publicly for several weeks and in the end they might get the play they're trying to run within the next several days. >> i don't think they wanted to do it publicly. they wanted to handle it privately but such pushback from joe biden and hunter biden and jill biden that the leaks started happening and more of them. >> dana: you leak it to pressure them and that's what happened. wow. >> bill: see you later tonight. the joint will be rocking as they say. >> dana: it is a full-court press. oh, there we go. >> bill: former basketball star cantor freedom preparing to vote for the first time in his first election. he is here in milwaukee. what's happening, boss? nice to see you.
