9:02 am
in arizona no doubt they're going to be hitting hitting thal as this one, nevada, multiple times before the november election. but harris faces a unique challenge here, and it could be a big one. she has to convince voters that she will be tough on immigration which, of course, is a key issue across the country but particularly in the sun belt swing states that are on the border or close to it in the case of nevada. the harris campaign is out with a new ad saying she'll take care of the border despite record numbers of illegal border crossings under the biden-harris administration. last night in arizona, she says she has the solution. to the problem -- >> we know our immigration system is broken. and we know what it takes to fix it. but donald trump does not want to fix this problem. he talks a big game about border security. but he does not walk the walk. reporter: former president
9:03 am
trump's rally last night in montana started a little bit late. he had to land at billings airport instead of bozeman because airport official say he had medical issues he did take the stage a little bit later than he was suppose to the hammered harris for her role in the border crisis. >> she was the border czar now she doesn't say she's the border czar she says i never was the border czar. everything they did -- she's taking away now. but she was the border czar, she was the worst border czar in the history of the world. >> another thing trump brought up in that rally last night were debates he say he's open to more than one. but right now the two sides have only agreed to that one. on september 10th, we'll see if anymore get added between now and then. and also, trump is hitting harris for as you mentioned off the top alicia not holding a
9:04 am
more formal press conference to face the tough questions but we've learned that harris has said she wants to sit down for an interview before the end of the month we'll await details on that. alicia, griff back to you guys. alicia: a lot of month graddy trimble thank you so much. griff. griff: alicia with tensions rising in middle east as israel braces for a possible major strike from iran, and u.s. forces, are being charted in syria, president biden is spending weekend in delaware lucas tomlinson live at the white house with the very latest. hey, lucas. reporter: good evening griff last night a drone slammed into a basin in syria housing u.s. troops officials says there were no injuries in the last few days pentagon is reenforcing forces in the region here's john kirby yesterday. >> the president is a hundred percent committed to helping defend israel and we have put military capabilities in the region of a sufficient quantity
9:05 am
and quality to do just that. but we're also working at the same time in the diplomatic space to try to deescalation and prevent any major escalation of the conflict there in the region. reporter: been at least 175 attacks on u.s. forces in iraq and syria since october and over 3,000 u.s. troops are based across the two countries. monday, five american soldiers wounded one seriously we're told in iraq attack in iraq at al-assad air bass. now over a week ago biden defense ordered aircraft carrier strike group to the middle east. from the pacific to relieve tr which notable about that, is despite being ordered to the middle east it appears that strike groups in to rush seen doing an exercise with italian playmates at a pacific campaign stop in arizona and kamala harris interrupted from protesters demanding end to u.s. military support to israel. >> now is the time to get a
9:06 am
cease-fire deal. and get the hostage deal done. [applause] >> i respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race. reporter: u.s. officials say an attack from iran and its proxy forces and houthis in the region could come against israel as soon as sunday night monday morning and the region. and that's after the olympics ends which is as you remember griff that's where russia did launch attack on ukraine after the beijing olympics ended over two years ago. griff. griff: that could be interesting timing, and a good thing he pointed out there i remember that well. lucas tomlinson live from the north lawn of the white house lucas thank you. alicia. alicia: thank you griff. squad member elon omar will face off against her primary charge on tuesday several progressive democrats have lost their prime primaries going into the election cycle. republican congressional candidate for minnesota fifth direct dalia joins us now the
9:07 am
congressional seat she's running for is currently held by elon omar really good to see you and i want to get to your congressional race here in just a moment but first, you have long expressed concerns about kamala harris' pick for vp tim walz your governor, in fact, in 2022 you wrote an opinion piece walz gave political capital to an organization with ties to the muslim brotherhood that supports hamas seeks to have laws throughout the world from this reading, do you think he's an actual danger? >> absolutely. there is no question about it. and thank you for having me here alicia. that's exactly -- actually i forgot about this piece until three days ago when somebody mentioned it. and i went back and that was 20 -- 22, two years nobody in american knew who walz was.
9:08 am
the thing is the muslim american society of minneapolis has strong, strong ties with the muslim brotherhood which is a terrorist organization designated by so many countries in the middle east including egypt where the muslim brotherhood flourished back so many years ago. the thing is, he has ties way before that. i have tweets back on twitter from 2017. they're saying we're exciting, excited to have discussion with the future governor of minneapolis of minnesota tim walz and not moderated by omar. in 2022 we are then again, the muslim american society of america saying we are pleased to announce that governor walz and
9:09 am
lieutenant governor will be speaking at virtual rally and the problem is let me say one thing and be very clear about it. i am a muslim. i was born as a muslim 56 years ago and i'm still a muslim. but i've been fighting radical and political islamism for all of my adult life. so coming to saying that she's islamphobe that doesn't make sense to me i'll always be a muslim. i left the region because of these radical islamists and i hate to see and i will never accept the fact that we are or some organizations pushed by the muslim brotherhood trying to import their ideology to the west. >> dalia, you have to wonder if
9:10 am
the larger electorate are paying tenges this when you look at the policies and histories of walz while he was in office much of the conventional thinking is he's upper midwesterner overall nice guy, add to the ticket when you have he established a diversity council with first executive orders signed an executive order protecting access to gender affirming care. and signed a bill into law protecting abortion get a quick answer for you on this so we can focus on your congressional ration as well. >> we need to protect our children. you know, if you're 18 you can do whatever you want. but it's not fair not for the kids. this is child abuse. it is not fair for the kids it is not fair for the parents that because of the policies of tim walz that now kids could -- could go to certain organizations and have sex change without their parents'
9:11 am
knowledge and we have to protect kids. we have schools, are failing. our children cannot read even in 9th grade. are these the policies that we want to implement nationwide anymore? he's the one who came up with the republicans -- alicia: i hate to cut you off but we have to get to your congressional race because you are hoping in november to be the one to unseat squad member ilham omar why do you think minnesota is ready to change in this particular district? >> the majority of minnesota let me talk about the fifth district are sick and tired of these policies. we have the same problems like rest of america but our taxes are higher. we have illegal immigrants all over this state and even in my
9:12 am
district in the fifth district. you can see them begging outside in the streets. they're providing driver's license, they're providing health care to illegal immigrants stretching all the resources that real people of our district deserve and need. our veterans, these policies are let alone the anti-semitism or the jewish hatred that is spreading like fire in our district, in our college campuses, and tim walz to silent where we have people waving the flag of hezbollah and praising a brigade praising hamas in our own streets. this is unacceptable, and people -- the moderate liberals, and independents are sick and tired of it. we all deserve better than this.

alicia: newly released body cam video shows person on a roof just minutes before former president donald trump was shot last month. the video also shows local police reaction moments after shots rang out. cb cotton is here with the latest. hi cb. >> hi to that body cam video in a second first what led up to this federal investigators made is clear thomas matthew crooks planned attempted assassination. latest evidence he visited a local gun range more than 40 times before he opened fire on the forming former president. this sign-in sheet to the range a day before the rally senator chuck grassley released obtained these records and says 80% of crooks visits were spent on
9:21 am
rifle practice. according to investigators crooks fired at least eight rounds from the roof of the agr building before he was killed and droves body camera video released this week one clip shows what appears to be a person on the roof of the agr building at 6:08 p.m. and unclear whether the officer notices but fbi previously said crooks was spotted at this exact time and the same spot. other videos show the frantic search by local law enforcement for the would be assassin and the frustration with the secret service and the immediate aftermath. >> i would say this is a -- [inaudible conversations] >> somebody -- >> why are we not on the roof? >> need to go somewhere -- >> why weren't we? >> i told them they need to post the guys over here. i told them -- the secret service. i told them that on tuesday.
9:22 am
i told them code over here. >> what? >> i thought on the roof? >> no. we're inside. >> bravo one. [bleep] i told them put them over here. alicia: you could hear that frustration in those videos. a secret service spokesperson called the shooting a, quote, secret service failure and said that agency is reviewing the footage. alicia. alicia: just incredible cb cotton thank you so much. griff. griff: alicia for more on this bring in dhs secret service special agent charles moreno. charles you know very well this situation, and i want to just go a little deeper and cb's great reporting there playing that tape of the frustrations of local law enforcement. we have a map. we can just show you the aerial of the open area where this
9:23 am
event was going to happen. and the frustration is on the left side of your screen there. that rooftop left open, then what followed were reports of a man on that rooftop, and then the decision to put the protect protectee former president trump on that stage despite all of the shortcomings. what do you make of it? >> well by not posting somebody on the roof of that building which was evidently a threat that needed to be mitigated we saw an epic failure of the overall security plan. and the responsibility for that epic failure starts and ends with the secret service. they are responsible for mitigating those threats assigning state and local law enforcement as needed this all could have been prevented in a five minute conversation to articulate the need to take that building out of play from being a threat. and because the shooter was able to access that roof, we saw
9:24 am
chaos result from it. we saw lack of coordination. we saw poor communication. and we saw a lot of frustration on the part of state and local authorities because essentially, based on poor plan that was put together they were set up to fail. griff: was this gross negligence or incompetency when you put these pieces together and more we learn charles it seems that it's an unfathomable failure -- >> well, it is, and there's definitely an element of incompetence, inexperience at play here. when i hear that law enforcement officers say that he told the secret service that building needed to be protected and eliminated from being a threat, there really should not be a need for anyone to have to tell the secret service the risk that that location and that building posed. they should have seen that right away. with the direct line of sight that it presented to the stage
9:25 am
where former president would be speaking so extremely frustrating it is embarrassing for the agency and no one has been held accountable the longer it takes to hold accountable the worse it is for the credibility of the agency. griff: absolutely. the question there, let me go a little deeper in one other thing in cb's reporting and that is, this report from senator grassley's office talking about the number of times crooks went to the gun range. we can show you here a little bit more of that he visited 43 times did target practice three time and last visited gun range one day charles, before the assassination attempt. what are your thoughts on that? >> well certainly preplanning for this attack. there's no doubt about that. that was evident right after this situation happened and based on the movements and ultimate location where the shooter set himself up to take those shots.
9:26 am
so he had been to those locations before. he was particular with how to operate the weapon. the question is, who has the ultimate responsibility for notifying law enforcement in these types of situations? in the event that somebody is suffering from mental health illness, and has access to firearms. and here, that rested with the family. because of the limited social media presence of this shooter. so you know, it really was left to the family. they did not see anything uncommon that raised any flags, and here we go swef somebody that was prepared to carry the this attack. and practiced -- griff: here we go indeed you gave me the perfect segue to an attack that was thankfully it happened and that is -- the third man now arrested in the intented terror attack on the taylor swift concert in sienna three individuals pledging to isis bomb making
9:27 am
materials found in one of the men's homes we have the national security security advisory in help and foiling that plot. listen here. >> we work closely with partners all over the world to monitor and interrupt threats so as part of that work, the united states did share information with australian partners to a threat to taylor swift's concerts there. >> thank god coordination stopped it now taylor swift has some concerts coming up in london, at the end of next week. >> well there will definitely be elevated security preparation in london as part of this larger threat and look this is a reminder of the threat environment across the globe. especially the heightened threat against u.s. interests and persons. isis is in operation. they are still able to coordinate and radicalize around the country. we see this with the emergence

and attack at the moscow concert hall and this type of attack at ariana grande concert in 2017 large gatherings at supporting events and concerts remain a top target around the world including here in the u.s. and there are hardened targets, of course, but there are also soft areas prior to people coming into these arenas and stadiums that need to be paid attention to. as part of the overall security plans for these large facilities. >> that is the dangerous apartment of it that soft target area charles moreno thank you so much for coming on today and your great insight. >> thanks. griff: alicia. alicia: griff coming up can the protest movement commit arms embargo on israel. that's next.

9:36 am
because they disagree with the biden-harris administration and then candidate biden's position with regards to israel in the war in gaza now they're trying to get to the new candidate, harris, to influence her and "the new york times" reported after -- on end when they had met with them that she was willing to consider was open to considering an arms embargo on israel. that then sent the harris team into crisis mode, walking back all day thursday. so much so that the national security campaign advisor phil gordon for harris had to put out a statement saying she does not we've been clear here it is she does not support embargo on israel so what do you make of this? is this a problem for her? >> just to be clear. this when biden was the candidates they would have burned the party to the ground. and given the election that trump to make a point to the
9:37 am
democrats, where they wanted party to go so supercomplicated three things going on in harris foreign policy. one is the playbook. we get this. it is the obama biden it will be the harris playbook all of the same people how they engage with the world how they try to balance we get that. but the second thing is reality. there's so many things that are changing in the world that just make that playbook just not going to work. right in so it doesn't matter how much of a progressive globalist wonderful person you are. there are things that just don't work because reality. but then there's this. which is on this issue, it's not the playbook. it is not the fact well, this stuff is not actually working. harris is there. she is on that one of the party which will throat israel overboard. which believes that israel is part of the problem. that america is part of the problem. under this issue she is with the squad. but the campaign is all about i'm a moderate.
9:38 am
i'm not responsible for anything the last four years so how do you square this? >> you mention the squad for our viewers to understand the woman speaking there with the uncommitted movement is layla, the sister of congresswoman rashida tlaib been some of the harshes criticism with her regards to israel on biden administration. you know, is it time, james, for harris to put out a broad, foreign policy agenda? because you go to her website, you can't find it. she hasn't been clear. now, matt miller this spokesperson at state department did say and defended her position on israel. because now you've got critics wondering whether daylight between biden and harris on israel is complicating the negotiations for a cease-fire. here's matt miller. i want to get your reaction. >> the vice president has been a
9:39 am
key backer of israel security and has made clear she's committed to israel security. we are concerned about this suffering of the palestinian people and gaza and that's why we're trying to reach a cease-fire. and ultimately bring the -- this war to a close. griff: your thoughts? >> so there is a difference between biden and harris and a growing divide on this issue. biden is still in the traditional camp that says, you know we have to protect the country's vital interest. we can't throat israel overboard what he's trying to keep the party by not falling apart by being a neutral party and you know, keep the radical wing of the thing from jumping off the rails. harris, the only reason why harris doesn't publicly throw israel overboard is not -- is not because she believes in america's interest. because she -- because she's like elections are still accountable to the american people and the american people aren't willing to do that sop so if you see the struggle there is difference it is between what people want and what the vital interest are for
9:40 am
her it is like i can't get elected if i do what i really believe. griff: having your cake and eating it too. >> that's what the campaign is about. and again, i'm not partisan not a republican not a democrat but if you look at the campaign, the campaign is i'm a moderate i'm responsible. and if anything bad happened in the last four year i promise america i'll fix that. that's the campaign -- stop. right? mic drop the reality is, on this issue in particular, she is with the radical wing of her party which again if we're honest here that radical wing didn't happen organically it was driven by foreign money domestic money, radical politics that want to throw israel under the bus. griff: we have to leave it there james to your point it was interesting telling perhaps that she chose to skid the address to congress when time when closest alley is facing existential threat from iran. james thank you for being here today. >> thanks for having me.
