night. the rnc welcomed the college students who defended the u.s. flag during the anti-israel protests in chapel hill. they came out last night and this crowd, everybody carrying the flag. dana kept saying i hope that flag doesn't touch the ground because some of the guys were -- >> dana: i loved this so much. i wish we could have had them on the show. we wanted to bring you this video. one thing this convention has done is figured out how to tap into something that's growing, the youth of this country taking a look at the republican party and especially the young men saying you know what? they might be for me. >> bill: that would have been a good job for freedom last night to hold up the flag. >> i'll do it. >> dana: can you hide in the crowd and not have your picture taken? >> no. >> dana: come with me. thank you. thank you. appreciate you. harris faulkner has the big show for you. she is next. >> harris: the whole nation
8:01 am
should see exactly what the woman who leads the united states secret service is doing right now. u.s. senators are fighting for the rest of us to learn about the security failures that led to an assassination attempt on former president donald trump. last night a group of senators were demanding answers directly from the head of the secret service who, by the way, showed up here at the rnc convention. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus" live from milwaukee, wisconsin. lawmakers are still trying to figure out how a killer packing heat, ammunition, scoping materials, the like was able to get just some 150 yards from the nation's 45th president. secret service director kimberly cheatle along with f.b.i. director christopher wray briefed senators on the phone about the shooting for about 30 minutes yesterday. but somehow or another the communications went silent and the senators were not getting their answers.
8:02 am
four of them decided to confront that chief of the secret service directly when they found out she was actually here at the rnc.
8:03 am
8:04 am
8:05 am
8:06 am
>> we want answers. >> harris: did you hear from senator marsha blackburn said? you owe answers to the people. you owe answers to president trump. remember, he is the one who got shot. of course she does. there were four senators, barrasso, lankford, kramer and blackburn. and for the first time speaking since that live on television now is senator marsha blackburn on the committees of judiciary and veterans affairs. they do owe us answers. did you get any? >> no, we did not. and i how outstanding it was she was comfortable in the luxury street having a cocktail party saying thank you to people that had helped fund security. harris, she would not take five
8:07 am
minutes and provide answers for the people. and we were trying to get answers on the phone call. how could the secret service allow their protectee, president donald trump to take the stage at 6:00 when at 5:51 they identified a potential threat. 5:53 they alerted spotters and sharpshooters and 6:00 they clear him to go on stage? she is more concerned about donors than she is about the people of this country and the president? i think it speaks to the priorities and the tone deafness. >> harris: i want to talk about just why she was here. so what you now are breaking down for us is she came to thank -- the words she used when you watch the tape is partners. this was about donor support. about making sure that things are politically clean, perhaps,
8:08 am
for the man in the white house. this was not about the american public. when you knew that you needed to do some foot traffic to get her, you were in heels and running, what was the response of her team around her and they seemed to just be letting you guys go? i think everybody wants answers. maybe even some of her own people. >> everyone deserves answers. the taxpayers of this country, president trump, his team, we all deserve to know what happened? people are astounded that someone could get to that building and take a clean line of sight shot at president trump, and it is just god's divine providence that saved his life. >> harris: here you are surrounding her and she has her hand on her chest. i'm so sorry, i can't talk to you right now. when will the appropriate time be? she is delaying hearings.
8:09 am
she can come to wisconsin to hang out with donors at a cocktail party. >> and what she should have done is step aside with us and provide some answers to questions that we had. who made that decision? why did they make that decision? where was the lapse in protocol? has president trump received everything he asked for? some of these things we are hearing on the air are, are they true or not? you are hearing so much on social media about this. but her priority was not about providing those answers, her priority was about those what she termed her partners and having a nice evening. >> harris: a couple of things happened yesterday. house oversight committee chairman james comer sent a subpoena to lock in the secret service director's appearance at a hearing on monday. she has agreed to that appearance. if she lawyers up, do taxpayers pay for that? is that the department of
8:10 am
justice that's offering her some legal help? i have to guess now she will get some. >> i would say they probably will have the department of justice that is helping her. but she is going to have to come forward. she can run but she cannot hide. she has to provide these answers. she should be fired. she should have been fired saturday night. >> harris: talk to me about the seven minutes. you were on the call and wanted to see her because something happened on the call with the secret service. >> we had a call with director cheatle, her deputy, director wray. this was at 2:00 central time. >> harris: she was likely already doing that from here. did you know she was doing that from here? >> we did not. until i was mentioning to the trump team going through what we learned on the call and our frustration and senator barrasso, senator lankford, senator kramer, several of us
8:11 am
tried to be in the queue and we were trying to get answers to questions because i have people in tennessee every minute texting and calling. they want answers. >> harris: what happened? >> they said there are no more questions in the queue and cut the call. everyone is like we need answers. >> harris: kimberly cheatle was on the call and the call was stopped with hand raising having questions on the call. she was likely at the event already. she didn't even bother to tell you that. she wanted to not give you access, apparently. she was here on that call. that is unbelievable. >> when i found out she was here i gathered my colleagues and i said let's go up to the suite and see if we can pull her aside and get some answers. our questions that we had.
8:12 am
but she did not want that. >> harris: look at the screen. did she acknowledge i got off the call with you? did see say if the line cut out? >> she said she wasn't running the call. in the video i asked her. >> harris: what else is she not running? >> obviously she is not doing a very good job running the secret service. harris, you can look at that video from saturday, you can look at the video that people there and you know, harris, one of the things that i've heard from so many moms, they have taught their kids if you see something, say something. go to law enforcement. there were dozens of people that said something on saturday. there were people out there with their children and families going there is a man on that roof. and nothing was done. this is a frightening thought to just millions of moms that are sending their kids back to school this fall, to college. >> harris: tell me how it works.
8:13 am
would senators show up to the hearing and sit like the public can and want to be present at that on monday? >> i think what we'll do is let the house proceed with theirs. we're still pushing. we sent a letter this past monday from republican judiciary committee members asking for answers and asking for her to appear. >> harris: did she respond? >> no, she has not. i have had a call into her since saturday. >> harris: subpoena gets a response. >> she will have to show up for the subpoena. if she denies that subpoena, they will have other actions. >> harris: senator marsha black burns as americans watch this we know how hard you try to get the answers. we'll watch monday as she enters the hearing in the house. it is pretty unreal she didn't acknowledge she might have been down the hallway from you or across the street or the hotel or someplace nearby. that is offensive she didn't want to give access to the
8:14 am
people. you represent the people. >> that's right. and we're going to stay on it and people deserve the answers. she needs to realize she answers to the people of this country. her job is very focused in scope. it is to protect. >> harris: you mentioned the word she needs to be fired. let's see what happens next. thank you for being here. we're looking ahead to the historic night at the rnc convention. president trump expected to speak as the official republican nominee just five days after that attempt on his life. and democrats are divided over joe biden's re-election bid. his team, however, is defiant calling for the democratic party to unite behind biden. >> if you want the polls to go up, then hell, go out and talk about joe biden. talk about the good that he has done for this country and have his back like he has had our back for these past four years. >> harris: well, it's hard to
8:15 am
deny what has happened this week. president biden has big problems in the polling and his political party is now sidelined with a man who is suffering with covid and we wish him well. it could have some big money impact as major donors reportedly have stopped writing checks. power panel next. missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. step back out there with fasenra. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

8:21 am
>> harris: president biden isolating in delaware right now after testing positive for covid. democrats are renewing their fight over his re-election bid. interesting timing while the man is down, they are fighting to either keep him or push him out. california congressman adam schiff publicly called for biden to step aside. former speaker nancy pelosi warned president biden and his campaign of political peril if biden stays on the ticket for re-election. senate majority leader chuck schumer privately urged biden to step aside. so much privately going on. hold a news conference. his office pushed back saying idle speculation. schumer and hakeem jeffries pushed the democratic national
8:22 am
convention to delay the vote the nominate joe biden. the dnc can do what it wants and says it is not rushing that vote. of course they want to get that done by august 1st. which is before their convention. president biden sat for an interview yesterday and was asked about all that is happening against him and his calls to step aside. >> is there anything that you would look to, you personally, not anybody else, not other pundits or even perhaps family members, that you would look to to say if i see that, i will re-evaluate? >> president biden: if i had some medical condition. doctors came and said you have this problem, that problem. but i made a serious mistake in the whole debate and quite frankly i think the only thing you need to bring is wisdom. i demonstrated i know how to get things done for the country.
8:23 am
>> harris: that was prophetic. he has a medical condition called covid. two years ago people his age weren't getting better from hit. god bless him. my goodness. a new poll finds 70% of voters and 65% of democrats say biden should suspend his re-election campaign now. power panel sean duffy, former wisconsin congressman and brad howard is here, president of corcoran street group. i want to come to you, brad, because of your democratic bona fides. what to do with biden now? they have him on drugs to help him get better. he is -- he is sidelined and back in the basement. >> i hope he fully recovers and bounces back as i suspect he will. progress we've made with covid medications. party leaders are relaying the concerns of their members.
8:24 am
leader jeffries and schumer have gone to him and said we think you will hurt our chances of winning the chambers and these guys want to be leader jeffries wants to be speaker jeffries and so he needs a strong name at the top of the ticket in order to deliver the house. and he is saying a lot of his members have concerns that joe biden is not the nominee for that purpose. and so i think you are starting to see these calls according to reports starting to get through to the president and he may be making a decision whereas before he was super defensive and now pondering this decision. i think we could see some news this week out of this. >> harris: you are confirming that and we'll confirm on camera, he said, if i have a medical condition and doctors tell me that, then he will step aside. he has a medical condition, doctors had to tell him that. he had to take the test and you have the drumbeat. you say delaying concerns for house members. that sounds problematic. i want you to react to this,
8:25 am
sean. in my exclusive interview with president trump a few hours before the attempted assassination on his life on saturday, i asked mr. trump whether he thinks biden will be the nominee and if he wants that to be the case. >> do you think he will be the democrats' nominee? >> i don't know what to tell you, i really don't. i watch him and then i watch people in the party. they don't want him to run. many people. many people are keeping it silent, their opinion silent. a lot of people don't want him to run. there are some people that want him to run. he wants to run. when you have delegates -- i'm an expert on delegates because we have the same kind of thing. when you have the delegates you can do whatever you want. there is nothing they can do other than he will say through maybe advice or himself that i'm not going to run. but that's a hard thing for somebody to say. >> harris: do you want it to be biden or does it not matter? >> i have convinced myself i don't care.
8:26 am
it's policy. open borders, they don't want that. they don't want all for electric cars. if you want one you get one with lots of other alternatives. something that happens to be propelled with gasoline. when you see the withdrawal from afghanistan, the most embarrassing moment i think in the history of the country what happened, the loss of 13 incredible people. billions of dollars of equipment left behind. billions and billions of billions, tanks and planes and even goggles, night goggles, better than what we have because they're brand-new never taken out of the box. all of that and this was for no reason. just no reason. they should have taken the military out last. you don't take the military out first. once the military was gone the taliban had a field day. but so many things are -- have been wrong. i can't think of anything that they've done right. when you think about an administration, like everybody gives me a lot of credit on the economy and inflation.
8:27 am
we had no inflation. on the military, i rebuilt the military. we did so many great things. you can't think of anything that this administration has done that's right. but basically they went along with the policies of the radical left. they went with the policies of the radical left. so i really think no matter who it is, the only person that is going to get in there is somebody that's gone to this craziness. this crazy policy. >> it was a great interview. really wonderful answers from donald trump. i want to say i also hope that joe biden gets better. i disagree with him on policy, as a fellow american and father i want him to improve and get through covid. i think it is interesting donald trump is talking about a policy and he is right. the policy is not going to change. you put in newsom and harris. the policy that has hurt americans will be the same. they all agree. the problem that i don't think democrats are focusing on is their coalition is fractured. it is minorities, elites on the coast, it is the greens, it's
8:28 am
the trans genders, it is some of the unions. i think if you go through this conversation and floor vote, that will divide the party and you need to be united. you watched this convention. i've been to a lot of them. one of the most remarkable conventions i've ever seen on top of the efforts to take out donald trump. it is hard to beat him. you need every part of your coalition together. i think they won't have that. i think joe biden again, he is not all there with it but he is the one that has kept the coalition as one. i think democrats are making a mistake to push joe biden out because they don't know -- they don't know -- >> harris: the voters don't want it. poll after poll you've got the dnc now willing to do something against what the majority of democrat voters want in the
8:29 am
country. that's an opportunity and we saw this in primary. i would argue the voters voted for a different man four years ago. if you knew him then and sit with him now. >> after the president won the primary he swept the states. >> harris: he won. he didn't get a challenge. that was the problem. cognitive issues, whatever they be, we're not doctors, those were on full display during that process. the voters didn't get a chance to make their voice heard. >> a lot of the base fighting combating concerns about his age and saw the debate raised the concerns from the base with him from the beginning. >> harris: you want to try to public you didn't see that in that debate? >> that is the first time a lot of the base relying on the leaders of the party who said he was great and we took their word for it. >> harris: they were awakened. the facts were always there. we have to go. >> it will be a golden parachute he needs big cash from a big
8:30 am
donor to say xerox you have a lot of money. you and hunter live well. step to the side. >> harris: you think there is wheeling and dealing? >> harris: we don't know what we don't know. >> rnc here there is a display and unity and work well for republicans but you don't see mike pence or george w. bush. there are still some elements of the president's party has to pull together but a good convention from a messaging perspective. >> harris: the percentage of people following those names. none of it competed with nikki haley and everyone i've talked to at the convention, very conservative republicans who support trump and those on the fence about her and those who really didn't like her are saying she did the right thing and trying to pull people into the tent who might not have voted for trump . interesting that you say that because she did the job for all those other men you mentioned. great to see you both. shocking new video appears to

8:38 am
family will remember firefighters corey comperatore who was killed at that rally. he died shielding his family and friends. services are set for this afternoon. we pray for his family. senior correspondent jonathan serrie is live for us from butler, pennsylvania. jonathan. >> hi, harris. republican lawmakers say they want to know why the secret service waited when law enforcement spotted a young man acting suspiciously just outside of the federal security perimeter. local tv station wtae obtained cell phone video that appears to show crooks in the background on saturday's rally an hour before the shooting. secret service spokesperson says that agents considered him a person of interest but not yet a threat when law enforcement noticed he was carrying a range finder, a device used to measure distances in hunting and playing golf.
8:39 am
it changed when this individual retrieved his weapon that investigators believe he left at the site in advance. two butler township police officers assigned to traffic duty went to check out the building. one officer hoisting the other to the roof only to see the gunman turn the weapon on him. >> he is holding himself up to the roof in that condition he couldn't protect himself. so his goal was to -- he couldn't engage him and he ended up trying to get his weapon but fell backwards, injured in the process. >> a trump supporter who had to leave the rally early to accompany his wife to the hospital for heat-related illness was surprised to see the former president's motorcade arrive at the e.r. the couple had heard the news of the shooting and had feared the worst. >> we are front row. my friend saw blood coming out of his head. >> oh my god. oh, jesus. >> there he is.
8:40 am
there he is. >> harris, you can hear their spirits lift as they see the former president arrive at the hospital not on a stretcher but on his own two feet. back to you. >> harris: jonathan, thank you very much. we could see that. great video there and we know he is doing okay. let's get expertise from former f.b.i. assistant director chris swecker. all right. top line thought about what the shooter had been doing, his parents had called in with some kind of a concern to police. then they had some kind of a heads-up for seven minutes. they didn't have to put president trump on that stage. >> yeah, this type of executive protection is all about pre-planning and creating a security perimeter that's airtight. the things that are predictable are preventable. this whole scenario was predictable and there were many opportunities for intervention
8:41 am
and they just weren't capitalized on. trump should not have been on the podium when he was. until they had resolved the issue with this suspicious person. a lot of things went wrong here, harris. i hope a credible person or entity will do the after-action report. we need to know. we're in the middle of a campaign. >> harris: i always like to ask one agency about another agency when i can. we had senator marsha blackburn who was in a group of senators who were on the phone call that got hung up on and the person on the call was the secret service director. and they saw her in the hallway here at the rnc convention and they didn't even learn at that point. she didn't tell them that on that phone call she was likely here because it was a short time after that call that they saw her. that's lying by omission. so my question for you is should she be fired? >> yeah, i think so. i mean, i think the agents on
8:42 am
the podium acted heroicly. but this is a leadership issue, no question about it. leadership at the highest levels. leadership on the site, and the person that gets the accolades when things go right has to take the responsibility and accountability when things don't go right. i can tell you right now when you look at what happened there, there was poor planning, poor execution, and actually poor mitigation if you will. they did not get donald trump off that podium quickly enough. if there had been a secondary shooter. a professional assassination there would have been a secondary shooter. they needed to get him off that podium in seconds. this is leadership and training. the agents didn't know what to do. right there around the car and on the scene itself. again, they acted heroicly throwing their bodies on the president. from there on it didn't get
8:43 am
better. >> harris: one last one. see something, say something. after 9/11 this entire nation knew that. kids are getting it now in school as a regular thing when they do their drills. my teenagers are telling me that. we know to do that. people did see something and they did say something and there was a long time before anything was done. in fact, the president had been shot. >> either communication was awful or the threat was communicated and those that received it at the secret service command post didn't act on it. one is just as bad as the other. again it needs to be fixed. >> harris: chris swecker, i know i put you in a tough position to call for not firing or firing another agency's top head but you have the experience and i appreciate your transparency on it. she should go. >> it is all about leadership. >> harris: thank you, sir. all eyes are on former president trump tonight as he takes center stage to deliver his acceptance speech and anticipation is high after his vice presidential

>> harris: tonight former president trump will formally accept his party's nomination at the republican national convention. he is set to speak five days after a would be assassin attempted to take his life. president trump says he reworked his remarks since and is expected to focus on unity. you know from my sit-down with him on saturday hours before he left and ended up on that stage
8:50 am
in butler, pennsylvania, he was already talking to me about working across the aisle with democrats to clean up the cities and all their problems. it will be a historic moment coming after passionate speeches last night. one in particular by trump's running mate, j.d. vance. >> my fellow americans here in this stage and watching at home. this moment is not about me, it is about all of us. it is about who we are fighting for. our movement is about single moms like mine who struggled with money and addiction and never gave up. i'm proud to say my mom is here ten years clean and sober. i love you, mom. together we'll put the citizens of america first. >> harris: people outside are rnc are saying welcome to vance. >> i think he can understand, you know, middle america. >> i like his youth and energy.
8:51 am
could use a little more experience but he will pick that up as the v.p. under trump. >> he is the perfect pick. he understands the average american. >> the fact he is younger, going to bring along i hope the younger generation as they can see they can be young and republican. >> harris: a "new york post" says vance is the republican's best chance to climb the center. >> i think he talks to the center. i think that what we have seen here at this convention and seen from president trump over the course of his entire season here campaigning across the country is talking to every american, talking to not just republicans. president trump has united the republican party, no question about it. the most united party anybody has seen in generations. it is about talking to every american, not just every
8:52 am
republican. our entire convention has been centered around those conversations that really matter and i think that one of the things i'm the most proud of in terms of how we put this together was that in prime time we have real americans who are telling their stories about their families and about their visions for america and talking to america. >> harris: it is interesting because the center, when you say that i think moderate, i think a lot of things. right now we're in a position where people are really hungry for a message that solve theirs problems. it doesn't matter their politics whether they are center left, right, far right, far left. and so the idea of how do we get people to vote? i know you are working on that. what are your thoughts? >> i think you have to have that conversation here. you are absolutely right that every voter is voting for his family. i think that j.d. vance touched on that in an eloquent way last night. if you can't afford your house,
8:53 am
groceries, if you can't afford gasoline, nothing else matters. you have to take care of your family. so right now one candidate is focusing on the issues that are affecting every american family. one candidate who is talking about reining back inflation and lowering energy prices and talking about shutting down the border and ending the scourge of fentanyl devastating our communities. one candidate is talking about unifying this nation. and it is exciting to see how the republican party under president trump has really moved into this conversation and especially here at this convention. >> harris: i spent some time on the square plaza area outside this enormous convention hall talking with people. hats are on point. you saw some of them. the word younger comes up a lot. it did before the president chose j.d. vance as his running mate and certainly doing that after.
