growing concerns whether he can finish out the job effectively. brand-new reporting from "the wall street journal" revealing biden's mental lapses going to the start of his term. that starring in moments but first it's a fox news alert. >> did they confront him? did they go up to him? did they talk to him? >> i don't have those details periods become an explosive devices were found on or near the site? >> i would have to do for you to the fbi. >> i was the rooftop left naked to begin with? tell us that considering it was within the line of sight and so very close. >> again, i can't speak to the specifics of this particular event site. >> how many spent shell casings were found on the roof? >> i would have to do for you to the fbi's criminal investigation. >> how many expose of devices were found on or near the site question work >> again i would have to do for you to the fbi. >> we have satellite images from the fairgrounds have you visited the site?

>> no i have not. >> nine days and you have not visited the site? >> sandra: ten days since an assassination attempt on former president trump the director has stepped down. she seemed to dodge more questions than answers. she has not visited the site of butler, pennsylvania, but lawmakers went there to get their answers and said this. >> i'm standing at approximately the site where the shooter was and as you can see 70-year-old man, this roof is not a big deal. >> secret service or anybody with sniper teams up there this guy would not have made it. >> sandra: hello and welcome everyone i'm sandra smith in new york and john it's great to begin a brand-new hour with you. >> john: good to begin an hour with you, sandra john roberts in washington this is "america reports." one of the lawmakers yesterday, he will join us in a few minutes. >> sandra: let's bring in national correspondent

bryan llenas in butler, pennsylvania, at this hour hello. >> hello, sandra. the fact is we are learning more about the assassination attempt from pennsylvania state police current, colonel christopher paris then we learned yesterday from now former secret service director kimberly cheatle. colonel paris testifying today to his knowledge two butler emergency service officers were posted at a window by the second floor of the agr building which as you can see from this video overlooks the rooftop that was used by the shooter that day. they spotted to's crust thomas crooks and identified him as a suspicious person but they lefto search for him. >> they were no longer in that room where they could look out the window and oversee the roof is that video shows. >> i believe they were actively looking along with additional

officers for mr. kirks. >> it is also becoming more clear that the shooter was hidden behind two trees impeding the view of two secret service counter teams that day. describing the kill shot is a one in a million shot hitting the inches above his eye, forehead, and scope. the shooter was protected in some capacity by the slope of the building's roof. >> a tree blocked the secret service's view. this kid did some investigation, had a drone out their days prior. and aerial surveillance of the premises. and of that position was probably the best position outside the perimeter as far as i can tell. >> so some obvious preplanning here. fox can't confirm that crooks flew a drone over the buildings but we are not sure about the timing. that was from "the wall street journal," colonel paris also testified the shooter had a detonation device

and that building was actually supposed to be secured by the butler esu and finally, sander, colonel paris testified at the pennsylvania state police was in the command center with the secret service, but they were told the congress members that the local law enforcement the butler share for instance in the esu were not in communication with the state police or the secret service on that day. sandra? >> sandra: bryan llenas on that in butler for us thank you. john? >> john: breaking moments ago g.o.p. nominee donald trump announced he will be hosting israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for a meeting at mar-a-lago. announcing in a post on truth social saying looking forward to netanyahu in palm beach on thursday during my first term we had peace and stability even has during the historic records and we will have it again. as i said with president zelenskyy and other recent weeks my peace through

strength agenda will demonstrate the world of his horrible deadly wars and violent conflict must end. millions are dying and kamala harris in no way capable. "live look at the podium in wisconsin where the vice president and potential new democratic nominee kamala harris will hold her first campaign rally since launching her bid for the presidency all happening as president biden going back to the white house after recovering from covid. these are the very first shots of the presidency since he said he was going to drop out of the race. well, those are not the shots but never mind. this comes as vp harris reportedly has enough delegates to secure the democratic nomination. calling it "queen's gambit." adding the crown harris as biden rages against palace coup.

robert wolf on all of it and some of the legal aspects ahead but the senior white house correspondent peter doocy, what is president biden going to do when he gets back to the white house? >> john they say he will head to the oval office to receive the classified daily briefing and you just mentioned those shots come we have them for you. it's the first time president biden has been seen since last wednesday late at night early thursday when he needed help at that same airfield getting into his car. the official reason we have been given is covid-19 but in the time since almost his entire party has turned on him periods >> does joe feel betrayed by any of them or does he understand it was for the country? >> look he will speak tomorrow he understand where people are he understands having done this 36 years as a senator, eight years as vice president, and now almost four years as president. he gets it, he gets where we are

the country. speak of the vice president is now saying i am grateful to president biden, everyone in the democratic party was already putting their faith in me and i look forward to taking our case directly to the american people. we are now getting a preview of what president biden will say tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. in the oval office come expecting heavy emphasis on foreign policy and the president's final days in office. >> trying to bring peace to the middle east and the war on gaza on a better project three. continuing to deal as he has been with russia against ukraine and to continue doing what we can. >> badges for secretary blinken expecting to be one of the cabinet officials present harris would replace with the secretary of state of her choosing. if she wins according to "the wall street journal" "wall street journal" today. >> john: well, you know everybody gets to make their choice. part of the park are becoming president.

peter doocy for us, thank you. tender? >> sandra: let's bring in robert wolf now former economic advisor and fox news contributor. i know you are intimately involved, robert, behind the scenes, talking to democrats every single minute of every hour, i know you are a busy guy and the phone has been ringing so what can you tell us new at the top of this hour or your party? is kamala harris the one? can she be donald trump? >> thank you, sandra and john. it's been as you said a volatile three plus weeks here's what i would say with the president biden the perfect storm happened. the polls cracked, the electoral map broadened and the donors moved to the sideline. i think it's clear that people support the president biden more than candidate biden. it was time to move on and that's what he made a decision on. i was one who immediately endorsed kamala harris. i've known her since 2006.

also you and i talked, sandra, i was not for this chaotic open primary that james and george clooney and others were for. i thought with 90 days to go we had to keep with the harris/biden ticket and biden/carrot ticket, excuse the freudian slip there, and the last 48 hours has been insane. i haven't seen this type of momentum and enthusiasm since, you know, president obama of 2006-2007. >> sandra: is that a "yes"? >> everyone has come off the sidelines. >> sandra: is that a "yes"? >> it's aes. along yes. >> john: obviously kamala harris raised an awful lot of money in the last 48 hours. there is a question as to whether or not she immediately and handle everything the biden

campaign has on already. the trump appointed chairman of the federal election case, they just put this out on x in response to nothing in particular. he cites the statute and says of the candidate is not a candidate in the general election all contributions made for the general election should be either returned or refunded to the contributors or reasons designated or redistributed as appropriate. he does not suggest it will immediately transfer to harris and i have already heard that in some places republicans are lining up legal challenges. >> yes, john, that does not surprise me there will be legal challenges. you know, president trump did i think 60 plus legal challenges on the election and lost all 60 so it does not surprise me this will continue. i don't know how all of this election stuff works. i am pretty sure the 90 plus million goes directly to

vice president harris once she is the nominee. the other 100 plus million i don't know the rules, my guess is that that money will be spent somehow someway either for candidate harris or against former president trump but there is a way it is spent and if it goes back to people, they will just reapply it back to the harris campaign. we have seen over 100,000,048 hours. >> sandra: okay. robert, we chat a lot and there are democrats, prominent democrats who are now endorsing her. who are on the record, some of them in just the past year. questioning kamala harris' and value or doubting her even entertain the possibility she may be replaced. this less than a year ago. terkel really important sound bites together listen to this. >> vice president kamala harris issue the best running mate for

this president? >> he thinks so and that's what matters. by the way -- she is very politically astute. >> do you think she is the best running mate? >> she's vice president of the united states. people say to me why isn't she doing this or this and it's because she is the vice president. that the job description. you don't do that much. >> do think kamala harris is the best running mate for president biden, yes or no? what else i can think of -- >> you could say yes. >> she's an excellent running mate and an excellent vice president. >> sandra: they were seeing with the vice american public was seeing. the word salad the laughing at really important stuff like the border i mean, what is she going to be able to tell voters she has done on the issues that matter the most to american voters? >> sandra, there's a lot of issues that matter to the american voters. listen, this is going to

absolutely be a campaign choice that it's going to be i think if we are going to talk about project 2025 and protectionism and nationalism and a populist environment we are going to talk about president trump and j.d. vance, j.d. vance talking about taking away reproductive rights. >> sandra: i'm asking about her record. >> yes well, it's a choice election about her record and infrastructure forces former president trump not passing infrastructure and the chips a act. movie of this of three and half years -- >> sandra: new talking point, she was the border czar. kenji tout any accomplishment accomplishment? >> she was the border czar. i'm not here to debate for her but this is what i would say if i was debating for her eye would say that not only did they put front and center bipartisan plan

that a conservative senator langford put forward, that should've passed. we would be in a much better situation that would've passed. by the way we know the numbers are way down on the border since the executive action took place but i'm not saying that in aggression is going great, there will be a real debate on whose plan is going to be better and i think i wish they would've approved the bipartisan one. >> john: let's look at what a very recent poll found on who you trust more on the issues comparing trump to biden but i would imagine the numbers are similar for kamala harris, 52%-35% trump is preferred over immigration. 54/40 on the economy, 49-39 on foreign policy. trump has the edge on the three of big issues but also asking about 2025 because you mention it comes out of every democrat's mouth oh, you elect trump,

project 2025 is going to get put into place. that is not a trump campaign product. it was done by the heritage foundation, three or four people that worked with trump who were part of that but it's not a blueprint for the republican party. is from the heritage foundation, nothing to do with the trump campaign. yet democrats are doing everything they can to make it seem like it is. it's disingenuous, robert. >> i don't agree with that, j john. from my knowledge and people i've spoken to, that i worked in the trump administration are actively involved in that. some of the people i debate on your show are actively involved in that. there is no question that approach of nationalist populace is something that president trump and j.d. vance have talked about. so it may not be exactly project 2025 but the framework is pretty spot on. the other thing i would say about the polls july 7th you should look at the poll last hour of the ipsos poll you guys

have talked about in the past actually kamala harris is beating president trump or former president trump by terkel points. you know i don't even think polls are worthwhile this early. >> john: with respect there is a bowl that shows the opposite with trump at aris stomach harris by two points and in the six way race he beats her by four. >> i wanted to make sure you added that one. >> sandra: i love how democrats are at embracing that pole after biden says the polls don't matter before he got out of the race. one last final question because you are an economy guy. you care about inflation. you care about what's happening to gas prices, we are proud capitalist i can't recall any speech where kamala harris has laid out a plan on bringing consumer prices down. grocery bills, utility bills, gas bills, they are sky-high. i mean, can you articulate her

plan? i don't even hear empathy for the american people who are living through this. because of the high prices of this administration. >> i spent some time with the vice president in december and january talking about their economic plan. you know i was one who actually felt they should stay the course in bidenomics. and continue where wages are and i've said that inflation was going to be a long tail. i think we have something to run on. i think they have to make sure they articulate and get the narrative but it's not going to be easy. >> sandra: what is it? >> what is it? i think out wages have out for performed inflation and prices are up 20% office wages are up 17%. by the time this election you can see actually wages surpass where inflation was. i know i can easily have a debate with whoever is on the trump side but i won't be in that room debating although i

have done some debate prep in the past. >> sandra: until the prices come down that is the pain that the american people feel. that's the disconnect. >> i agree. you know i agree with that. >> sandra: i know you do. robert, great to have you on. >> thank you. >> john: tilt love your telephone as well. democratic senator roberts menendez reportedly says he is going to is it resign prosecutors accused him as bribery, and conspiring to commit those crimes guilty on all counts. 's resignation is coming on the 20th of august. we await that. >> sandra: lawmakers toward the side of the assassination attempt on former president donald trump as they look for more answers, house security green was there he will join us live next. >> john: and vice president harris may have a rep a rep's academic reputation as a tough prosecutor but what is her actual record on crime look

>> john: ten days after an assassination attempt on former president trump the secret service director karen wichita stepped down. ronald rowe has now been named as the acting director. the next guest toured pennsylvania sharing first-hand views, chairman mark green, mr. chairman thank you for being with us. president trump responded to fox digital of kim cheatle stepping down saying "she never gave me proper protection so i ended up having to take a bullet for democracy. many requests from by on-site

secret service in the turndown or no response. the biggest crowds in history and they should be treated accordingly. some members of congress, cheadle design but it has not been fixed. what should happen now? >> obviously there are a lot of mistakes made. just came out of our hearing right now just talking to the pennsylvania state police. and the discoveries of errors yesterday when we were visiting the site. you mentioned the team they are, we looked really at the planning phase and saw lots of errors they are. and then we saw errors today in the actual conduct of this thing, communications, handoff, the suspicious person when it all happened, so there are -- the list is long. but i can go on launch into it if you want but a lot of things that have to be addressed and addressed quickly. >> sandra: absolutely,

congressman. you mention talking to the pennsylvania state police, the colonel explaining communications between local police and this is key with secret service in that moment, listen. >> there was a text thread that was going between the esu members, the identified, they took a photo of him. at some point when he realized the range finder, the suspicion was heightened. so i know at a certain point in the command post a member of psp received a phone call and a text message from members of esu. and i know from an interview that was immediately relayed in the command post to the secret service. >> sandra: unthinking text messages, phone calls, aren't they all coordinating on walkie-talkies or immediate device exchange of information so they can respond in a split second? where did you learn from that?

>> this has been a problem in our entire country getting various levels of law enforcement on the same networks like in the military. when i was with special operations these guys had satellite radios that everyone could talk to everybody. that is not the way it is in law enforcement and the whole country it wasn't here so these guys improvised sending a text picture 25 minutes before the president was shot meeting before he walked on stage saying a guy found a range finder and was a suspicious person. whomever the secret service did not say hey mr. president let's hold up a little bit until we find this guy, that guy needs to be fired. whoever was in charge and that command center and did not make that decision that person needs to go as well. >> john: congressman a couple of issues talking about the platform to try to assassinate the president, was there a plan you know for overwatch on that building and then secondly the

building just to the left of it as we see in this map, apparently there will local police snipers on the second floor of that building. but they were called away from their position to try to find kirk's. i mean, unbelievably ironically at the time they were called away to go look for him he was crawling up in the roof and what would have been full view of them. >> exactly. we just discovered this so i asked the question myself i said did they notify someone at secret service those two overwatch positions were being basically unfilled as this gentleman look for the suspicious persons? he did not have an answer so we will have to get more granular to get the answer on that. of secret service new those people watching that rooftop were no longer there because they left to go find this guy, but look at it this way, secret service allowed or potentially allowed two counter snipers to look for the guy who is so suspicious they will leave

that position to go find him and yet they let the present walk on the stage? that is ridiculous. >> sandra: i think for all of us listening it is hard to believe that this happened and how easy it was for this 20 year old kid to carry this out. >> it's insane. and then of course the water tower, the obvious site to put a counter sniper team. >> sandra: congressman, do we have audio here? this is the president live on the tarmac. >> why did you drop out, mr. president? >> what? >> why did you drop out of the election? was it a difficult decision to make? >> sandra: all right what the question was what is your message going to be tomorrow night and why and he didn't answer why did you drop out of the race which should not been shocking that that was the question chatted from reporters. the congress is still with us, no answer.

john, no answer there. but worth a shot. now he will make the way by the way we are told karine jean-pierre will be holding the first press briefing tomorrow at 2:00 eastern time since the president dropped out of the race and then he will be speaking from the oval office at 8:00 p.m. >> john: do we have the congressman with us? great. congressman, come on back because let's talk politics with second. i know you are home when security but this is all going to be parcel of the next demonstration. you know, president biden on saturday morning apparently was all in, and then his aides presented him with data that said you are going to lose the election. 14 million people over the course of the primaries said we want you to be the nominee. and his aides come to him and say you know, they don't say mr. president you are in such cognitive bullet decline you cannot continue another four years they say here is data you will lose and he drops out to what happened to democracy in

that process? >> that is a great point. i'd like to make the point too they have known remember the vietnam i think the g7 speech he made, totally disoriented on stage. the democrats have known this, covered it up and they say they will lose power. so now they want him to step down. it isn't about the functioning of the commander in chief. it's all about power. they've asked him to step down. my point is if he is incompetent to run for president how can he be commander in chief now? xi jinping and vladimir putin, they want to see a commander who is commanding. we don't have that right now. he is not capable of running for election. he is not capable to be the commander in chief. >> sandra: we appreciate you joining us and sticking with us in breaking news with the rep president there. be to mxp on we appreciated. speech and we are waiting for

vice president kamala harris to speak holding her first campaign rally as more are offering her their endorsements but is the party crowning her too soon? massachusetts congressman be here, he will react to that. >> john: plus more serious issues for america's airline system delta air lines canceling hundreds of flights already today because they still can't get the systems back up and running that security update. we are live in atlanta coming up next. health is not about what weight we lose. it's about all of the things a body can gain.

governor tony eaters, getting in the meat and potatoes but since the president dropped out of the race this is her first time. she has not the nominee yet, though she does have a huge number of pledged delegates more than enough to seal the nomination so now the democratic party has to do with a process to codify that politically though she does become the nominee so when they go to chicago, it is all decided and chicago will be a big celebration of their nominee and not what we thought might happen which is an open convention. >> sandra: all of this as chuck schumer last hour was asked and he said he was endorsing her finally you can make the cases both hakeem jeffries top stopping short yesterday asking if this was a coronation. certainly what we have been seeing his democratic stomach democrats coalescing around her in recent hours and days, john i believe we will dip in here and

talk to the vice president off the top here. >> vice president harris: i can speak at length in some words about how her incredible resident, joe biden. [cheers and applause] it has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as vice president to our president, joe biden. [cheers and applause] joe's legacy of accomplishment over his entire career, and over the past 3.5 years is unmatched in modern history. and one term, think about it, in one term as president he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who served two terms in office. [applause] and i know we are all deeply,

deeply grateful for his continuing service to our na nation. and it is my great honor to have joe biden's endorsement in this race. [cheers and applause] so, wisconsin i am told as of this morning we have earned of the support of enough delegates to secure the democratic nomination. [cheers and applause] and i am so very honored i pledge to you i will spend the coming weeks continuing to unite our party so we are ready to win in november.

so, france, we have 105 days until election day. in that time we have some work to do. we aren't afraid of hard work. we like hard work, don't we? and we will win this election. [cheers and applause] yes we will. so as leah told you before i was elected vice president before i was selected as the senator i was a courtroom prosecutor before then and attorney general. in those roles i took on perpetrators of all kinds. predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain.

so hear me when i say i know donald trump's type. [cheers and applause] [chanting] and in this campaign i promise you they i will gladly put my record against his any day of the week. [cheers and applause] as attorney general of california i took on one of the largest per for-profit colleges that was skimming students. donald trump ran earlier

for-profit college that scam students. [boos] as a prosecutor i specialized in cases involving sexual abuse. well, trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse. [boos] as attorney general of california i took on the big wall street banks and held them accountable for fraud. [cheers and applause] donald trump was just found guilty of fraud on 34 counts. but, let's also make no mistake. this campaign is not just about us versus donald trump. this campaign is about who we fight for. [cheers and applause] this is about who we fight for.

just look at how we are running our campaigns. so donald trump is relying on support from billionaires and big corporations. and he is trading access in exchange for campaign contributions. a couple of months ago, he also that a couple of months ago at mar-a-lago he literally promised big oil companies, big oil lobbyists he would do their bidding for $1 billion in campaign donations. [boos] on the other hand, we are running a people powered campaign. [cheers and applause] and we just had some breaking news, we just had the best 24 hours --

[cheers and applause] of grassroots fund-raising in presidential campaign history. [cheers and applause] and because we are a people powered campaign, that is how you know we will be a people first presidency. [cheers and applause] and wisconsin, this campaign is also about two different visions for a nation. one, where we are focused on the future. the other focused on the past. >> sandra: she says she'll put her record up against donald trump's record every day,

when i say fraudsters, predators, and cheaters i know donald trump's type. she went on to tell her past as a prosecutor and is willing to put her record against the former president donald trump's, talked about her time as ag of california, very little mention, john, of her accomplishments while vice president. while in the white house. that seems to be something democrats when put on the spot have a hard time doing defending her record while she has been vice president. and currently in the white house. >> john: critics would say if she was facing a speech on her abilities of the white house it would be a short speech but we know the major line of attack will be which is back when i was attorney general and back when i was a prosecutor i knew donald trump's type so she is going to -- it is going to be the prosecutor versus the convicted felon thing but we will see if that conviction against the president holds. let's bring in fox news

contributor steve melton. what do you make of what you've heard so far, steve? speaker john, i was making some notes there about what she was saying. i have to tell you what i wrote down here, blah, blah, blah, that's what i wrote down because in terms of her message, her positive message about what she wants to achieve and the campaign is all about all we hear is a bunch of totally protectable platitudes. that goes to the heart of our biggest vulnerabilities because in the end we know are really well. little bit personally and we have watched her here in california, she is exactly like joe biden in the sense she is a classic machine politician. she does not have some core set of beliefs or values or ideas she wants to push forward. she is in it just as he was for personal ambition, climbing the ladder and that means there is a fatal weakness. because someone like that who doesn't really believe in

anything, they just get pushed around. they get pushed around biden. foreign enemies you saw that with biden in the case of iran, they get pushed around where the power lands in that party and that's the far left base. that's what we need to focus on. one thing for the records she needs to be careful going on about this prosecuting sexual predators when she was district attorney in san francisco, when there was a real scandal involving child sexual abuse, she cited with the perpetrators against the victims so that record is potentially dangerous for her. >> sandra: she will be challenged on that for sure. you fear perhaps maybe you are underestimating her or republicans may be underestimating her in this moment? i mean, if you think about a voter, all they want to do is be donald trump. i mean, did you sense the enthusiast and that she may be

rallying that voter base? i didn't hear any thing about immigration, foreign policy, immigration, crime, the things that matter to most of the american people. however, if you are a voter all you want to do is make sure donald trump doesn't win and does not seen another term in office. is she getting the folks attention right now? >> certainly in terms of attention i think you are very right it's important that they trump campaign republicans don't underestimate what just happened. first of all, as we have seen, she will have this enormous media movement. we watch the other media, they are completely behind the harris campaign as it is now. that will continue through election day. the question is this. we know from the polling and we all see it in our lives and the evidence people want change in this company, country. this is a change election and people want to see change. the question is will they now

see kamala harris as being the change because she is different from joe biden? or will the trump campaign sect to successfully be able to show that she has not changed at all? she is more of the same? if you really want change you have to vote for trump. that will be the central argument in the selection. >> john: if the beginning of her speech is any indication it will be the same record she ran to the nominee of the democratic party in 2020. let's flash back to that campaign. january 17th 2019, larra basil's and wrote in "the new york times" of kamala harris kamala harris was not a progressive prosecutor. the senator was often wrong on the wrong side of history when she served as california attorney general. going on to say time after time when progressive urged to embrace criminal justice as a district attorney and attorney general ms. harris opposed or stayed silent. most troubling she fought truth down my tooth and nail to fight wrongful convictions through

official misconduct." which she runs on the same thing she ran on for four years ago, she didn't even make the first primary. how does she hope to make it to the election and win? >> exactly. that is the record that has to be scrutinized. in particular the big one which is all of those crime and chaos and homelessness and drug addicts in the street. the whole nation now knows from california kamala harris is right at the heart of that because in 2014 she pushed forward proposition 47. which is really a foundational reason for all of that crime and chaos. that record needs to be tied around her neck. >> sandra: steven hilton thank you very much. >> john: thank you, steve will be right back.
