forward is to pass the torch to a new generation, the best way to unite our nation. >> carley: president biden's oval office address offering few details about his decision to drop out of the race. he is giving a preview of his lame duck agenda. >> todd: and turning attention to vice president harris who could be just days away from securing the democratic nomination. >> the worst president in the history of our country, he was down in every poll, so he quit. really what happened, leaders of the democratic party in an undemocratic move, the bosses said, get out or we'll throw you out. >> todd: you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. brooke singman is here with the latest from the campaign trail.

>> brooke: president -- race by his own party. >> it has become clear to me that i need to unite my party, i believe, my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for america's future, all merit a second term, but nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy, that includes personal ambition. i've decided best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. >> brooke: biden says he will finish out his full term and laid out his plan for his last six months. >> president biden: i will call for supreme court reform, this is critical to our democracy. we will keep rallying to stop putin and end the war in gaza, bring home hostages and bring peace and security to middle

east and end this war. also securing our border, border crossings are lower today than when the previous admin administration. end cancer as we know it. >> brooke: president biden delivering the speech surrounded by loved ones, his wife jill, and his son, hunter. they got emotional. a spokesperson says this was painful for the entire family. >> you could tell by the president, the way he started leaning his left arm, he was talking about what i expected, or what appeared to be uncomfortable for him, the idea of giving up and not running, it was painful for the family. >> brooke: harris campaign is you have mooing right along. >> i believe we face a choice

between two different visions for our nation. one focused on the future. the other focused on the past. and with your supports, i am fighting for our nation's future. >> brooke: democratic national committee is holding a virtual roll call, democrats hoping to challenge harris must file by july 30th and have until august 7 to select a running mate. convention begins august 19th in chicago. >> todd: a speech that was supposed to explain why he dropped out, we don't have information as to why he dropped out. brooke singman, thank you. former president donald trump has thoughts on president biden's address last night. the oval office speech was

barely understandable and so bad. the former president went after vice president harris. >> if kamala will lie to you brazenly about joe biden's mental incapacity, she will lie about anything. she can never be trusted. she can't be trusted. [cheering] >> and just like crooked joe biden, kamala harris is unfit to lead, she's unfit to lead. she'll destroy our country in a year, this country will be destroyed. a vote for kamala, is a vote for four years of dishonesty, ink incompetence, weakness and failure. >> todd: former president trump will be on "fox and friends" this morning at 7:30 a.m. eastern. >> carley: bring in former congressman and iraq war veteran doug doug collins. good morning to you.

joe biden's speech was to prove he is capable to do the job for next six months. do you think he achieved that? >> doug: no, he failed miserably at it. when you go into a speech to explain what you gave up, while it is most important position we have in this country and you talk about basically other things. unfortunately, last night reminded me, remember when your mom and dad got you ready for pictures. i don't want to go, and you had to go anyway. the stilted movement, you can tell he was pushed out and he is hurting badly. there is that mental decline you are seeing in these speeches and his hand movement and concerning with the world situation right now. >> todd: it was billed as passing of the torch speech, ignoring the fact the torch was

ripped out of his hands by his own party and they stabbed him in the back. we were supposed to get reasoning for dropping out, instead we got a mini state of the union address in july. did that speech help or hurt kamala harris' candidacy? >> doug: i don't think it helped, it made solidification that she'll be the nominee. what offended me about his speech, i'm here because i want to save democracy, democrats overturned 16 million primary voters without any consideration. they anointed a coup against sitting president, if you look at it that way and kamala harris will vote without primary input, without being voted for by party elet's lites in a virtual

setting over the next two weeks. they discuss things donald trump is doing and what they are looking for in this country and yet have done it themselves because they did not like a debate performance three weeks ago. >> carley: prime minister netanyahu addressed a joint meeting of congress, a powerful speech, listen to part of it here. >> we're protecting ourselves, we're protecting you, if you remember one thing, one thing from the speech, remember this. our enemies are your enemies. our fight is your fight and our victory will be your victory. ladies and gentlemen, that victory is in sight. israel defeat of hamas will be a powerful blow to iran's axis of terror. >> carley: he covered every angle of this war and highlighted why it is in america's best interest to support israel. only people who needed to hear

that, were not there. half of house and senate democrats did not show up, including kamala harris, who wants to be next commander-in-chief and part of the job is listening to people you don't always agree with. >> doug: that is concerning. this is same vice president stood behind zelenskyy and held a ukrainian flag on the floor of the house, which was amazing and decided not to show up for neta netanyahu's speech. these are making case in fall why donald trump needs to be elected. this is seeing who we support and don't support and not standing with israel is offensive. we've replaced, everybody talks about biden and harris, they released biden with harris, who is far more liberal. pushing this party away from voters concerned about paying

for bills and concerned about open border and energy production and this fight is one that will not play well wither had base, she is ush approximating to pro-hamas side of our party. >> todd: guest on hannity last night. you think democrats that are in our government would be there to hear a speech with such huge ramifications and nancy pelosi called it the worst speech made. >> carley: i don't know what speech she was listening to. -- was in the oaudience and he honored soldiers who lost limbs and he shouted university of north carolina fraternity brothers for holding up the american flag. it had everything. >> todd: i will answer, the

answer to nancy pelosi is michigan, michigan, michigan, michigan, they want to win michigan and will not do anything to upset people in michigan they think they need to win. doug collins, thank you for letting us answer your questions. more body cam footage from assassination attempt on former president trump. [bleep] -- >> go. go. it is a -- gray in color. >> todd: we keep getting more and more and more, the latest on the investigation next. >> carley: interesting footage and chicago police detective who exposed john smollett hoax is h about her track record on crime. for far too long status quo thinking is to believe putting more police on the street you

>> carley: chanley painter joined us. >> chanley: we are giving first-hand glance at response where officers can be seen running making their way toward the shooter and access the agr building. watch. [bleep] >> figure out how this guy got here. >> go, go. >> i think they're on the roof. >> is that where the dude is, too? >> the ladders are en route. suffered lacerations of the hand, might need minor stitching. >> okay. >> out in the crowd looking at the stage.

>> he was on the roof outside of the fence line. >> chanley: a trail of blood leads to the body of 20-year-old thomas crooks, where officers and secret service agent identify ar-15-style rifle near the body and shell casings and a t tr transmiter, watch. >> it is a device that is gray in color, about 5-6 tall, powered by a nine-volt battery. >> whose backpack is that? >> picture of the bike and backpack he had. >> this is a picture, there it is. >> shells over here. >> both sides. >> at least eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. >> chanley: we are learning one surviving victim shot at the

rally has been released, marine veteran david dutch spent 11 days undergoing multiple surgeries after being shot in the chest and liver. james copenhagen is listed in serious, but stable condition. how could this have happened? house voted to create a bipartisan task force to investigate the assassination attempt at trump's rally and today acting director of secret service will testify before senate committees. >> carley: thank you so much. remember when act or smollett claimed he was a victim of violent hate crime and blamed trump supporters? that was exposed as a hoax. sam bankman fried posted smollett is one of the kindest

human beings i know, this was an attempted modern-day lynching, no one should have to fear for their life because of sexuality or color of their skin. we must confront the hate. to this day, she has ndeleted that post. eugene roy joins me now. good morning, one thing about becoming a presidential candidate is past things you said become relevant again. you know about this jussie smollett story, what do you think about this tweet from kamala harris? >> a leader in government, whether political office or career service office such as police, never make a premature judgement, never get out in front of the facts especially in leadership position where people are hanging and take your word

as your bond to make a premature decision like that on a highly emotional and inflamed situation, it just is not appropriate. >> carley: good advice for congress and people in government, her included. that happened in 2019, when jussie smollett thing occurred and black lives matter protests, she encouraged to protect minnesota freedom fund which is a group that bailed out rioters, some of those even attacked police officers. she is running as prosecutor presidential candidate. how do you feel about that? >> when you are in a leadership position, such as the vice president, you are vice president of all the people, not of a certain segment of the population, you lead all people. you should be calling for end to

violence, not promoting bail bond funds to have people that engage in violent anti-social crimes be released back into the community. >> carley: as a former police officer, do you see sam bankman fried as somebody who supports police? >> she's steadfastly called for de defunding police. the thing with the bail bond fund, her rhetoric, ill advised comments on the smollett case show where she's at 6789 . >> carley: we've seen san francisco and now she is hoping to be the leader of the entire country. eugene, thank you for joining us, have a great day. up next former president -- a former presidential speech writer bill mcgurn breaks down

>> todd: two russian and two chinese bomber planes were tracked before president biden's oval address. the bombers were intercepted, first time joint patrol off alaska. the activity not seen as a threat. >> carley: norad said it remained in international air space and did not enter sovereign air space. norad will monitor north america and meet presence with presence.

president biden oval office address put emphasis on unify ing the party that forced him out of the 2024 race. >> president biden: it's become clear to me, i need to unite my party in this critical endeavor. i believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for america's future all merit a second term, but nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy, including personal ambition. >> todd: lady to save democracy got zero votes to be candidate for president. former speech writer bill mcgurn joins us now. is this the speech you would have written for the president? >> it isn't, i don't think most people would have written it. oval office address is very solid, usually presidents do it when they have something important to tell the american

people. certainly him withdrawing from the race would rank up there. unfortunately, it is too much of joe biden, very fake. he never really answered the question, why did he step down. you have press secretary, karine jean-pierre, saying health had nothing to do with it. in a way, they are still trying to gaslight us about his health. he made it sound like he's up to the job. only thing to know coclude, other guys thought he would give donald trump a landslide and they forced him out. >> carley: he did call for unity and said it is time to pass the torch to kamala harris, who is a capable leader. you have to wonder if he wants her to win. his pitch is i'm only person that can beat donald trump. if she loses, he could say, i told you so. >> people praising him for self

l lszness. what selflessness? he's been assuring people he is not going anywhere. if he's selfless and believed the torch should have been passed, he should have done it before the primary and had a competitive process where delegates choose from candidates, instead they chose a person who has lower approval ratings than joe biden himself. if kamala harris loses in november, we're going to see a lot of memoirs complaining about joe biden staying on too long, refusing to acknowledge reality and being selfish. >> todd: concept of unity, if you have seen any media over 72 hours, you have never soon a demo democratic party this unified. they saw what the republicans did in milwaukee and they were like, i need some of that.

i'm not buying it, barack obama, basically leader of democrats, has not endorsed kamala harris and blm, i will not read the quote, said you selected kamala harris in a smoke-filled room, this is not democracy. are democrats banking on unity that in reality is not there? >> i do think they are banking on primary reason for voting democratic is we're going to defeat donald trump or as biden put it last night, dictatorship is coming, we need democratic party candidate to win. they picked a weak candidate and i think the problem they had, joe biden tapped her as his choice. no one was willing to throw their name in to run against her. who in modern democratic party, if you're a serious presidential

contender for 2028, who wants to stand in the way of the first black female president and i think that is a problem with the democratic party. >> carley: if you want to run against her, you have until saturday to announce it. the clock is ticking. the harris campaign released a memo yesterday and a line said that kamala harris is well known but not as well known as joe biden and donald trump and that is true. and now you have all of these media outlets calling her the greatest woman on the planet. there is this abridged timeline, 100 days before the election. could the fact there is such little time left benefit kamala harris? >> it could, i think republicans will work overtime to define her by her statements and akszs and i don't think people are fooled. she was unpopular and i think

the problem they have, they picked one candidate who all package of joe biden, part of the term and then has her own baggage and was not very good campaigning as she proved in 2020. when she first ran in the primary, i thought she was go be to be a formidable candidate and first debate she accused joe biden of being racist, she has strong performance, even joe biden beat her. she couldn't answer questions that were directed at her, debate with donald trump might be more defining for her for the reason you outlined, there is not as much else out there, what are we seeing now? >> todd: as ted cruz said, all you said might be true, republicans need to keep their foot on the pedal and not act like they have won anything because we are still 100 days out.

bill mcgurn, thank you. a major investor urging vice president harris to move to center now that she is a presidential candidate after years of supporting progressive economic policies. >> as a senator from california, she had a very progressive voting record and i don't think that is where america is right now f. she listening and pivots from far left to center, that is -- i travel around and spoken to a lot of people, america is hoping for someone that moves to the center. >> carley: cheryl casone from fox business will break down the vice president's far left agenda. hello. >> cheryl: we have questions and many investors want more information about what a kamala harris economic agenda would be. we don't know, what we can go is off past statements she's made about the economy. in the past she supported progressive economic policies including green new deal and

fracking, listen to her own words. >> i am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a green new deal. i'm in favor of banning fracking. >> would you ban offshore drilling? >> yes and again, i've worked on that. we need medicare for all, who has not had that situation waiting for approval and the doctor said, i don't know if your insurance company will pay for this. pharmaceutical companies are dictating prices, affordable healthcare should be a right. >> cheryl: look at her economic agenda in the past when she was senator for california or part of this term under president biden. she supports universal healthcare, eliminating private insurance, universal basic income and rent, paying rent for folks, financial transaction tax

would hurt older generation, pharmaceutical tax and bank tax. look at term under president biden, there has been a lot of spending and that has led to inflation. american rescue plan, infrastructure investment jobs acts, inflation reduction act, whiches a climate bill and student loan debt forgiveness and regulation is the other question here. now look at inflation under biden and harris. they got 1.4% in january of 2021 when they went into office and now 3% and spiked 9.1% in june of 2022. look at grocery prices, up 20% and mortgage rates increased 144%. there is questions about j.d. vance, he called the barons of

wall street and blamed wall street for the financial crisis. if you are looking for investor class to support you, you have to come up with less regulation and like you say, more moderate economic policies. >> carley: oped titled kamala harris steers left, some speeches she's made have up upheld big spending ideas. swing voters, who needs them? >> todd: i'm stuck on the fact if you ban fracking, you lose pennsylvania, binary choice, not even close. cheryl, you will be on mornings with maria in 23 minutes and i will join you. >> carley: i feel left out. >> todd: you can come. >> carley: thank you. >> todd: anti-israel protesters burning the american flag and causing chaos as prime minister netanyahu was addressing congress. >> carley: mat whitaker is coming up next.

>> carley: fox news alert, idf recovered bodies of five israeli hostages killed by hamas on october 7 and held in gaza, they were rescued during an idf

operation yesterday. a 51-year-old and 19-year-old are two of the victims. 115 hostages are being held in gaza and 41 of them are considered dead. >> todd: anti-israel protesters flooding washington during benjamin netanyahu address to congress burning the american flag and raising the palestinian flag in its place. netanyahu with this message for protesters. >> i have a message for these protesters, when tyrants of tehran who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair are praising, promoting andun fooing you, you have officially become iran's useful idiots. [cheering] >> some of these protesters hold assigns proclaiming gays for gaza. they might as well holdup assigns saying chickens for kfc. >> todd: matt whitaker joins me

now. what ally will ever fully trust our nation ever again when they look at the reception that bibi netanyahu getting when he is addre addressing this. what we saw in the images was sick, matt. >> you are right, watching all day yesterday, i thought to myself, we have great advantages of our liberal democracy, constitutional republic includes free speech, but this is going awfully far down the road of outrageous speech. burning american flags, flying flag of palestine and having near riot as the leader of another country who is in war and is an ally, one of our greatest allies is speaking, it is too far. same time, this is what our

founding fathers believed in, market place of ideas and not a lot of americans are buying what this group is selling. >> todd: griff jenkins talked to somebody holding a hamas flag, that is like flying a al qaeda flag in minutes after 9/11. you are in america and allowed to do it. and christopher wray unveiling new details watch. >> on july 6, he did a google search for "how far aways was oswald from kennedy," same day it appears he registered for the butler rally. for about 11 minutes, i think 3 t 3:50 to 4:00 p.m. in that range, he was fly ing the drone and we have the flight path, 200 yards from where former president

trump would have been speaking. >> todd: we got more answers from christopher wray than the secret service director, but were you satisfied with what you heard on the whole from christopher wray? >> absolutely not. it was good to hear a few answers, most of this information has been leaked out before chris testified. we are lucky that president trump is alive, some believe divine providence entrieded in this situation. too many single pons of failure. fact this person has been preparing for a week to do this and was doing rekconnaissance with a drone day of is one of many failures we have here and it would be nice to have all the answers. we're two weeks out, we should have time to do the investigation and let the american people know and have

someone say they learned lessons and this can never happen again. more than 50 years after jfk's assassination from high ground, it seems too outrageous to be true. >> todd: no prosecution here, the shooter is dead. wray said this assassination attempt is example of elevated threat environment we're in. texas congressman chip roy pulling no punches with his attack on christopher wray. listen. >> fbi director covering up fact they have dei watering down their standards, fbi director trying to obfiskate mental c competence of the president, they could not stop this 20-year-old lone shooter, why didn't they have this place locked down and there own assets

flying over it? we have terrorists coming into the country, what does the fbi do beside put a 75-year-old grandmother in prison? >> todd: do you share in it is congressman's assessment? >> there is a lot there and congressman is right to ask those questions. the terrorism warning lights are flashing red, todd. we're in a situation where chris wray and others have been warning us that coordinated attacks from terrorist organizations could happen on our homeland. if that does not wake us up to the threat environment and make sure we're on full ashes letter to prevent acts of terrorism, we'll have a horrific event in the near future. that is what happens when you have two million known gotaways and god knows how many unknown.

that is compared to zero a few years ago under president trump. we're in least secure posture we've been since 911. >> todd: it is scary. bring in steve doocy for preview what is coming up on "fox and friends." i'm told have a pretty big interview at 7:30 today. >> steve: newt gingrich on 6:15. oh, you mean former president donald trump? >> todd: that's the guy, i've heard of him. >> carley: that's big. >> steve: good morning, big thursday morning, the trump campaign stops by "fox and friends" this morning. with the likely new opponent kamala harris, we'll ask about his campaign strategy and details we've been learning about his assassination attempt we heard yesterday from the fbi leader when he joins us 7:30

eastern time this morning. and president biden addresses the nation but doesn't say why he's dropping out. we'll talk to bret baier to see if he can figure it out. images of anti-israeli protesters burning the american flag when benjamin netanyahu spoke yesterday. senator john kennedy called the prime minister's words exceptional, mr. kennedy will join us live. and kamala harris words coming i into. rachel morin's mom said rachel's death happened under harris's watch. we'll hear from her this morning. we have a big show this thursday, starts nine minutes and three seconds from now. todd and carley back in a couple, you are watching "fox and friends first".

i think we are experiencing a break. in just by luck they happened to be visiting the ranch next to me. and they just made a beeline for my place and they got there very quickly. i would say within 20 minutes. and they were able to witness the break-in itself. and apprehend the person breaking. in. >> todd: when you see footage like that you wonder that's not law and order. 2021. v. harris lead efforts to extend the migration to our southern border. the result of that within three years 7.8 million migrants crossed into the u.s. how can kamala, sir, run as the law and order president when she ignores the immigration laws on the books leading to situations like you saw on your ranch and there is no order in the cities and towns overrun by illegal migrants? seems like no law and order at all under kamala harris, sir. >> i think there is a misnomer when you say the border is open.

it's not that the border is open. there is a huge vacuum cleaner on our side of the border sucking people. in i'm not sure all the political apoliticallations. it's very disturbing i certainly wish it would stop. >> carley: how much has it changed. >> traffic a and number of people dom my door and ask for assistance which we always give them, of course. it's significant. >> todd: we thank you so much for joining us and thank you so much for your service. i'm sorry what you are going through out there in rural texas. i'm sure your ranch is beautiful and we thank you for your time. >> it is. come see me sometime. thank you. >> todd: let's go. >> carley: todd, good being with you. >> todd: you as well. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪
