see it, it keeps on bumping. >> dana: i wonder what you told your insurance agent. >> bill: hey, turkey. that was in boston. watch where you park. that looks like a suburb of boston. i do not know what that turkey would be doing there. just a quick comment about the seine river in paris, for 100 years you were not allowed to swim in the water. it was illegal because of the infection. right? and they spent and i think $1.5 billion to try to clean it up. and now they are having issues with it. >> dana: i hope they clean it up, indeed. it is fun to be with you today. there's lots of news. and i will see you on "the five." you got anything else? >> bill: the moment, nada. >> dana: we will see how long that lasts. all right. "the faulkner focus" is next. john roberts is in for harris. >> thank you so much. americans lawmakers and those inside the secret service itself

want not only answers but accountability over how a 20-year-old would-be assassin got so close to taking former president daughter's life and teaching the course of our nation's history. a 12-year-old veteran sniper with the agency now warns that we don't see those if we don't see drastic action, it could happen again. this is the faulkner focus. on -- i'm john roberts into harris. this intro letter from the sniper. this agency needs to change. if not now, when? the next assassination attempt in 30 days? we all should expect another attempt to happen before november. we have expose our inability to protect our leaders due to our leadership. that leadership sat in front of several lawmakers yesterday. now acting secret service director ronald rowe facing fire from both sides of the aisle. he said he was ashamed. he also took a similar course as his disgrace predecessor kimberly cheatle and alluded to local law enforcement failures

instead of fully owning the plane. >> you, i think, took the position as to the local law enforcement responsible for the shooter on the roof, the snipers that were in place that it was their job to take him out. but ultimately, doesn't the buck stops with the secret service. >> it is stops with us, sir. but let clarify. the perspective that they had on that roof, i'm not saying that they should have neutralized h him. but if they had just held the proposed and looked left, maybe and there's a lot of maybes here, senator. >> a lot of maybes. >> john: senator marsha blackburn was inside that

hearing we will talk to her and just a minute. first, cb cotton in butler, pennsylvania. she spoke with law enforcement and they are pushing back on r roe's testimony. >> they are and then secret service acting director ronald rowe might have told lawmakers the buck stops with his agency. but now local officials feel the need to speak out about some parts in roe's congressional testimony. these local officials are saying roe is entirely wrong about their duties that they. the secret service he showed a window that was maybe right here looking out to the roof. >> that is not what we were aside. we were assigned over here in those first two windows. >> so he was about the assignment? >> absolutely. but i think the biggest thing is to not lose sight, their job was on being on the outside and secured perimeter looking inward. at those, you know, that had already gone through security.

>> the local officials told fox this was the view their two snipers had been you can see this is a different warehouse window and the one rope pointed to an finish point is at the ground level looking into the crowd and not onto the roof. the commander of the local snipers says if the secret service had told them to place their numbers on the roof, they would have. acting director rowe says he takes full responsibility, though, and they will be more forward and direct next time with their local counterparts. we reach out to the secret service about what local law enforcement officials are saying here on the ground and to. >> o's congressional testimony. john. >> john: all right, cb cotton with the latest of us from butler, pennsylvania. cb, thank you. republicans part of a letter to the acting secret service director after his senate hearing us today. they are accusing the agency of a "pattern of negligence." here are just some of the tense

moments that sparked that le letter. >> i believe that the secret service leadership made a political decision to deny these requests. and i think the biden administration has been suffused with partisan politics. >> senator, what i will tell will tell you is that secret service agents are not a political. >> okay, you are not answering your question. but you know what? leadership avoided those appointed by the president's political. i have a simple question, yes or no, did the same person the ninth two trump request that also tonight the rfk request? that is a yes or no question. >> senator, that is not a yes or no question. [indistinct] [overlapping speakers] >> -- to know that there is work there is work critical left fielders that some individuals ought to be held accountable. what more do you need to know? but what i need. >> what you need to know is exactly what happened and i need my investigators to do their job and i cannot -- >> a lot of people didn't do their job. >> when a former president a

shot to win -- when an american is cool, when another rallygoer's, innocent people who just showed up on the day when they are shot at and quickly wooded, if that is not a protocol violation, you should revise your protocols. >> john: republic in a senator marsha blackburn of tennessee member of the judiciary committee joins us now. third, did you get the answers that you were looking for in that hearing yesterday? so far, no one in the secret service has been held accountable. the director did resign. but she did not get fired. >> well, you're right about that. no one has been held to account. and we still do not know who it is that cleared president truck truck to take the stage at 6:00 when of an hour they knew that he had a seizure -- suspicious person. at 5:51, they knew they had a natural threat. and the lack of information we have been able to get has been just mind-boggling. mind-boggling. that is why sending a letter,

that is what continuing to question that is why looking at how we deal with the secret service leadership to make certain they understand they have got one job. it is to protect the individual. they are responsible for 31 individuals. the president, the vice president, their families, former presidents, and then others in the administration that have received death threats. 31. and they can't get it right. so we are going to continue on this. i have brought up the e-mail that one of the agents had sent bback and accused the secret service of having a mission of cya. with the fbi, i brought up that that that there was confusion around these social media accounts that the shooter had. one when he was younger that espouse the anti-immigrant,

anti-semitic activity and then the more current account from gaba, which is leftist ideology. and i think there are two more accounts they are trying to get the ability to go into. but look at, we need to choose, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. this is not like somebody mrs. casework or somebody misses a deadline when the secret service messes up, people died. and that is what happened in butler, pennsylvania. >> john: senator cassidy your points about the accounts there, the deputy fbi director. let's play a little bit of that for you. >> something just very recently uncovered that i want to share is a social media account which is believed to be associated with this shooter in about the 2019/2020 campaign. there were over 700 comments posted from this account. some of these comments, if ultimately attributable to the

shooter, appear to reflect anti-semitic and anti-immigration seems espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature. >> john: so he has got some other accounts as well. belgium, new zealand, among them. germany, i think, as well. those are encrypted. and the fbi can't get into them. they have, an israeli company trying to help them speak into those accounts. but so far, no joy on that park. the fact that he had encrypted accounts overseas, what does that have your mind going. >> it is something that causes as concerned as i said, we want to know what is in there because we know the gap account that they have been able to get into, that account has very leftist leanings. and so john cho what we are trying to do is we still don't know if he acted alone. we do not know what other participation he might have had. we don't know how he was able to

pull this off and get a gun up on the roof and then get himself later up to that roof for that gun and then take that shot and we don't know why there was no secret service on the roof or no local law enforcement. and as we know, they have that inner perimeter, and an outer perimeter. and local law enforcement, state troopers, there is a lot of blame being sent around the secret service's responsible, director wrote told me yesterday he was committing to be a change agent. and i said, but he can't remember -- better see some change for the better. because what has happened, see, if this is systemic, if this is the way they are looking at every event for any of the former living presidents, or the current president in -- and vice president, this should call --

because everyone concern. you want them to protect these individuals. it is not a partisan issue as you saw. there was by partisan discussed with the testimony that we heard yesterday. >> john: you have to also wonder, how many times this is happening in the past and, you know, certain platforms with one of the site have gone uncovered but thankfully nothing happened. is this just a one-off or is it systemic? i want to get you to something else. it is very important to you. it is the -- you co-authored the most significant child online safety bill proposed in decades at a time where studies over me show the devastating effects of social media on young people's mental health. yesterday, that bill passed 9 91-3 in the senate. goes on to the house now. you know, as reported on, there are plenty of studies that show the detrimental military effects of social media on young minds but then there is this fine balance between government intervention and regulation and

privacy. how do you walk the line between those two things. >> has. and we have done that in this legislation. what this is is a product designed to build. and john, just as we have standards for products, in other areas, or in the physical space, and the virtual space, we have not had that. and of course, in the physical space, you cannot sell alcohol, tobacco, 29 to children. they are exposed to that nonstop in the virtual space. in this bill requires safety by design, a duty of care for young online users, a toolbox for parents and kids to be able to manage their online participation, a way for the algorithmic black boxes to be opened and a portal where kids can report bad actors. and then social media be able to

take those down. children have been so adversely impacted by cyber bullying. they can never get away from it. suicide ideation. eating disorders. they are meeting drug dealers, pedophiles, six traffickers. and we're so pleased. we have over 200 organizations, so many conservative organizations like heritage foundation that have come out and have supported this. and they have said, it is time for us to put protections in place for our children in the virtual space. >> john: yeah, i think we got to remember, too, saturday and all this that parents play a big role as well. senator marsha blackburn of the great state of tennessee, thank you for joining us. >> you got it. take care. to social media john's new outrage over censoring and altering information on the assassination attempt of former president trump. how it happened and how the

companies are responding, a new line of attack from vice president harris and her allies is everything -- is everything getting weird? >> vice president harris: don't you find them to be plain weird? >> here's the plan. he doesn't have one and these weird ideas. >> vice president harris: is weird. >> john: ditching the "threat to democracy" strategy. and whether weird will catch on with voters. tammy bruce l weighs in coming p next.

my name is caron and i'm from brooklyn. i work for the city of new york as a police administrator. i oversee approximately 20 people and my memory just has to be sharp. and i realized, my memory was just changing. i did my own research and i decided to give prevagen a try. my memory became much sharper. i remembered more! i've been taking prevagen for four years now. it's a life-changer. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

>> john: today, harris faulkner is in chicago where she will interview former president trump about with two other journalists at the national association of black journalists convention.

trump and biden sparking controversy within the group. one of the coaches announced her resignation because of it. karen that you're writing in a statement yesterday, while my decision was influenced by a variety of factors, i was not involved or consulted with in any way with the decision to perform trump in such a former. cochair team shall defending the invite, posting to an x account with limited visibility same, i hope to make this call and it is and not with payment -- those invitations sent to every presidential candidate for decades. adding to that, potus are expected outside of the value. the coalition to march on the d&c and black and palestinian organization were right, quote, we understand from is a racist who hates black people postings, all people of color and all poor and working people and that is what we are partnering with our allies in chicago to protest his appearance and to say that he is never welcome here. harris joins us just ahead of her discussion with the

president to hear those folks, is like the devil himself was invited to the convention. whatever happened to the time on an american tradition of an opening open exchange of ideas. >> harris: wow, we are going to try to bring it back alive. i think we're a outnumbered here. you ask a question, i also asked the question. work order journalists who are not activists at this huge national association of black journalists? by the way, i got my very first job in the business to a job for an expo hosted by the very same organization and the same conference many years ago. so it is a little hard to believe we are those where we have gravitated to. but there are a lot of people who do want to see thaumatrope here and there will be joined by people all across the country because this has gone out across social media. terp is not welcome in chicago, gives the date and the place to meet. and it is on michigan avenue. like to print outside the convention center. people are going to come in from outside the country. they have already start to do that. up at one of the sponsoring

organizations and endorsing i should say organizations is sds john. students for a democratic society. no, if that rings a bell, that is because that name was inspired by sts original organization in the 1960s. known for being the most radical student organization in u.s. history. so that is what will away. former president donald trump when he arrives on the outside. now, on the inside, credentialed journalists also have caused a lot of consternation. and you mentioned, karen at t.o.'s departure. she sent out several posts yesterday. the first one was right after axios reported that there was internal and external pressure on her from members here of the nabj and journalists who felt like truck was not worthy of their platform for many different reasons. but then today, and we saw this our local news, so this is an update. ken lemon is the actual president of nabj. and he said that he invited

trump, joe biden, long ago to do this event. biden plan to come. trump planned to come back he is not going to cancel donald trump even though there have been some organizations, journalism organizations, and i guess i paternalism in quotes there that want trump not to come or that the nabj should somehow pay that there should be retribution for that. meanwhile, ken lemon, the president of nabj said, we will also let you know that we extended an invitation to kamala harris. up until about an hour ago, we have not heard that she was coming. she decided all sorts of scheduling that is going on this week which includes a funeral for sheila jackson lee, a representative, another event -- and other events. she had one last night in atlanta. now we learned that she is going to do it by remote and that has been in the last 60 minutes or so. so this fluid. and it is all really an answer to what the man who has lead in the polls is able to do on the

ground and that is captured more spotlight, more attention, all these jurors who talk about how they don't want to be here and they don't want him, they are here and he is coming. >> john: you know, i remember a time when journalists were not activists, harrison. but i'm pretty freaking old. so maybe i'm remembering a time -- >> harris: on the same age you are and we have good makeup artists. >> john: there you go. i know the last of you had the last of you had a chance to talk with the president, this was the morning of the fateful day when he almost lost his life. we look forward to what you have to say to him and ask him later on this afternoon. and we will bring you some of harris' interview with the president after it happens much more tomorrow here on "the faulkner focus" as well. harris, me more keep up the great tradition in journalism. >> harris: thanks, john. all right. >> john: critics going after big tech on censorship. users reported their facebook accounts were labeling the image of trump pumping his fist in the air after the shooting as "an

altered photo." camilla's public affairs at the director says it was an error and that "this has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake." , also coming in under fire after users set they had trouble looking up information on the rally shooting. the website's auto complete feature omitted references to july 13th assassination attempt. instead, it recommended other research results. google spokesperson tells us there was no manual action taken on these predictions. our systems have protections associated with political violence. we are working on improvements to ensure our systems are more up-to-date. republic in to key senator rand paul had this to say. >> google is going to have to realize when they are losing business, maybe they should not be a leveling outlet. and so is facebook. but now they're saying, big mistake. we were letting people see the picture, you know, of trump look at defined the assassin and standing up strong and they

wanted to deny that or remove that. but they are not getting away with it. >> john: tammy bruce is a fox news contributor and author of the new book "here itself, exposing the left's mind killing agenda." so what do you think, tammy? was this just an omission or was this another example of garbage in, garbage out when it comes to a.i.? >> not too long ago, we learned about the inclination of big tech to align itself with government and the twitter files. so we have a recent history and americans remember it. it is awful. it is important why elon musk now owns x, formerly twitter, is that what we are seeing with med and google right now, it is strangely exactly the same thing. and it is not -- the water about leprechauns just delivering information to people. but you have to ask about that. now, the reality is, joel kaplan, who is the global head of policy at matter, in a blog post admitted that it was their

a.i. was program to just not answer questions as though it did not exist. the assassination attempt. and they said they did that, john, to protect the gravity of the situation. and then they got caught. and then they reversed it. and then a.i. than started lying. because maybe it was confused. and they called that hallucinating. now, it does not hallucinate on kamala harris. and it says, well, it is too new. it is too recent and that is why gets it wrong. it gets nothing wrong about kamala harris. then with google, you ask about the trump campaign and what happened with trump in pennsylvania and it delivers to you kamala harris tim payne information. so i think that what could be interesting is to find out how this seemed to be so strangely coordinated and what the interest is which is similar to earlier in 2016 and 17, in a -- eliminating admission to the left wing of american politics

would prefer people not to see. >> john: "the new york post quoted a report on this. they queried men's a.i. assistant. was the trump assassination attempt fictional? and came back with the answer yes, it was fictional. i tried something using chatgpt which is my a.i. assistant of toys. and it seems that the answer you get depends on how you ask the question. i put in this query. was the trump assassin -- assassination attempt fictional? chatgpt comes back and says, yes. any assassination attempt on donald trump would be fictional if referring to a successful attempt. no such a -- event has occurred. i guess it is true, but the wording is kind of weird but i asked the question this way. with the assassination attempt against donald trump fictional. chatgpt says, no. the car been really assassination attempts and threats against donald trump during his presidency and points to the events that happened in 2016 and 2018. no mention of butler, pennsylvania. so that i asked this query.

just a generic sort of google search, assassination attempt of donald trump. chatgpt comes back, there been several documented incidents involving threats or attempts on her daughter's life. iit says the turns it in las vegas valley, 2018 incident and the 2020 ricin package but it does but again, no mention of what happened on july 13th in butler. >> you know, who needs to know that one? this is those very good example. chatgpt, which we don't necessarily associate with all the other social media platforms, is doing exactly the same thing. and that is what we call memory holding information in an attempt to just have it go away. at week see this becoming, we saw it even with the politics of it. the denial at first by the fbi that have unique he was shot. and this was part of the messaging from the democrats, it was, maybe it was a piece of the teleprompter, you know, maybe it was shrapnel. men, there was a desperation to not have had this happen because it brings up questions about the

nature of rhetoric, the nature of fear, if it can take over already mentally unstable individuals. the failures of the secret service that also does not want to be discussed. and they have been able to do this, you know, prior to the internet, very successfully when you have three networks or a couple cable networks, in a, controlling information has been vital to the american left and around the world. so that you can hide things or maneuver people. those times have changed because of the volume of information the people have access to. but even still, we are seeing with artificial intelligence, we thought, oh, this will eliminate human bias. we are fighting, in fact, that it may be perpetuating it. >> john: well, it did, i think, accurately tell me how much pepto-bismol to give my dog when he got diarrhea so it ain't all bad. tammy bruce, thank you. i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. thank you so much quicker to the democratic are red hot. harris says she will hold a

rally with her running mate tuesday. plus, the vp going after trump on one of her big vulnerabilities. listen to this. >> as president, i will bring back the border security bill that donald trump killed and i will sign it into law and show donald trump what real leadership looks like. >> john: critics might call that up us today. kjettrup now calling on harris out harris for what are flip-flops. is this 2004 redux? our power panel coming up next. ♪ ♪

>> i know if i agree with this sermon. and i think this will be a camping and open discussion, the american people about where people centrally on the issues. of course, both records will be on display and hopefully donald trump will show up to a debate so that they can have a conversation face-to-face moderated so that we can talk about past positions and now current stance. if you take section by section, some of the videos that you played that -- and our introduction like healthcare, when you see that kamala harris was actually working alongside joe biden to save the affordable care act, which expanded healthcare coverage to millions of people, donald trump and his project 2025, pottery, jd vance, wanted to get rid of the affordable care act. that was a camping effort. if you look at the border security legislation by par partisan, comprehensive, that was trying to go through the united states congress, trump is taking credit for not doing that and looked at her record on gun

safety. we passed the first piece of gun safety legislation by partisan wise and in 30 years in the united states. >> john: okay, so let me jump in. >> yeah, jawn. >> john: let me jump in here and say, if this is about now, and not than, what are the democrats trolling back in time and picking up everything that jd vance said 10 years ago and saying, look at this guy, he is weird. lisa? >> i think it is the same reason why you -- >> well, i think -- antoine, you have had your time. so it is my time now. i don't think the democrats can call the republicans weird if they are the party of creeks. joe biden was the one that put a guy who has an animal role-playing reddish and went on to steal suitcases or transgender activists flashing the cameras or you had a staffer filming a sex tape, cocaine found in the white house.

the democrat party's purple haired fix. but beyond that, let's get to that issues. kamala harris can try to apply all she wants because that is what she is and we all remember when she stirred up the debate stage in the 2020 presidential debate but had to drop out before i will. she basically called joe biden a racist and signed up to be his vp and then when asked about it, she was like, it is just politics. so if you vote for kamala harris, she is going to sell you out and she is the kind of politician kamala harris who punishes hard-working americans and rewards criminality. unique it if you like affordable energy, too bad. she wants to ban offshore drilling and fracking. if you like your guns, too bad. she wants to ban ar-15's and compensate them. if you like your private insurance, too bad. is getting rid of it and supports medicare for all. but what does she support? she supports decriminalizing illegal border crossings. so if you are an illegal immigrant coming in here, you are finding. she told jacob blake, a guy who pulled a knife on police officers, that she was proud of

him. so hard-working americans, she does not love you. criminal, she loves you. >> john: so they. >> john: so they are trying to whitewash the issues.

that is why she will be the next president of united states. >> john: well, if you wonder what a hilly coalition would look like, look to south carolina. lisa, a quick word to you. >> republic in's don't believe in racism or segregation. segregating out voters into different groups of people and look, kamala harris has been tested and she has failed. she went all in on iowa in 2019. she had to drop out before because her own party did not support her. she is one of the least popular vice president in american history. so they have been trying to reboot her since 2020. the american people have not bought it and then once the americans, the voters realized more about her record, they see the fact that her houses are so liberal, that makes bernie sanders blush. they will not be choosing kamala harris this time. >> john: oh, we will see if the report works. but it is difficult to escape your pass. antjuan, alisa, good to see you. thank you. the search is on for a group of
