♪ ♪ good morning. 11:00 a.m. eastern. 8:00 a.m. pacific. i am josé diaz-balart. we begin with the republica national convention in milwaukee. donald trump was greeted with cheers from his party and seen with a bandage on his ear. >> even in the most parlous moment this week, his instinct was to stand and fight. >> the devil came to pennsylvania holding a rifle, but an american lion got back up on his feet, and he roared. >> we know the ticket, donald

trump tapped j.d. vance, a never trumper who recast himself in the trump world. haley released her delegates so they could support trump at the convention. joining me, katy tur, former florida republican congressman, carlos cabello. he appeared somewhat emotional? >> not a side of donald trump i have ever seen. he's usually so welcome posed and bullish and confident, and swaggers into a room, and whether you like him or not, that's what he does.

he was more humble, and as you said, more humbl ifou goacknd watch it, it's a slight movement in the millisecond before that bullet goes by his head, he wouldn't be here. here's telling interviews that, that he should not be here. you can see it on his face. i was speaking to somebody close to donald trump earlier today, and they said the emotion has gotten to him and the entire family that they could have lost their father, the kids say. donald trump could have lost -- >> just -- i think we lost katy tur's mic. let's try and reconnect with her. meanwhile, the attempted assassination changed trump's outlook. what can we expect that to look like? >> that's a very good question,

josé. for donald trump, unifying america looks like a lot of different things. in large part, that means a step down of the political efforts to take him down. let's be clear, donald trump yesterday, he praised the florida indictment being tossed out by judge cannon. for donald trump, this is a moment here where it was clear that some of the speeches that were delivered yesterday, it was tamped down rhetoric that we would typically hear from the likes of a marjorie taylor greene or a charlie kirk from the stage. there was a few quick references to the attempted assassination on his life, and there was a traditional focus on the messaging of what the republican party in contrast with what the democratic party is. for donald trump, there's a recognition there's an opportunity with the polls

showing him ahead of biden, and an opportunity to try and win over a broader cross section of the american electorate by trying to lead, if you will, on the call to political violence and rhetoric, and in advancing a more united cause in the united states, and he feels like he's surviving the attack to be that messenger. this is a platform with four nights of primetime that he can articulate and effectuate that message. >> punchbowl said j.d. vance puts an end to the republican's old guard. what did you mean? >> listen, josé, the republican party has stood -- just look at mitch mcconnell, he has stood for funding ukraine and helping allies abroad and j.d. vance stood staunchly against that.

j.d. vance has blurred, at least in the senate the line between republicans and democrats. he's partnered with elizabeth warren on things, and praised the biden administration's ftc, and this is somebody mor of a populists recently than many of the senate republican colleagues. furthermore, mitch mcconnell with whom he shared a good relationship with before he got to the senate, now j.d. vance has clashed head on with mcconnell. in elevating vance, he has taken vance at the top of the next republican generation, somebody who most certainly at some point will run for president and be vice president if trump wins. he bears no resemblance of the mitt romney and other presidential candidates who believed in the traditional

republican and conservative values,nd vance does not. >> carlos, who do you think vance is going to attct? >> well, josé, it looks like it's about the blue wall. donald trump knows that biden's one path to remaining in power is to put up that democratic ue wall in the midwest, and j.d. vance being a midwesterner can maybe help donald trump make further gains with blue-collar voters in that area. i don't think vance will add many votes, but it's a big projection of confidence. this is not about just winning this election, but it's about continuing this movement. it reminds us that donald trump and those close to him view emselves as part of a movement, not just leaders of a political party. they want that movement to continue after what they hope is a second trump presidency.

>> so you think, carlos, in a cost benefit analysis by trump, vance has a value added that outweighed somebody, for example, like marco rubio could have brought to the ticket? >> not when it comes to winning this election. i believe rubio would have been the best candidate for this election specifically. j.d. vance is an heir to the throne of the maga movement. it reveals that trump and his campaign feel confident about where they are in the race. >> marco rubio set to speak at the convention tonight as well. katy, glad to have you back. missed your voice. take a listen to this. >> trump will surround himself

with people that agree with him completely, and even if you go back and hear things j.d. vance said about donald trump. >> he said stuff about you, yeah. >> he said something about me, but see what he said about trump. what's with you guys. come on, man. >> what does this say about how the biden campaign will treat vance? >> well, they have the same rhetoric and policies and they are the same extreme maga. that's the words they will use. what we are already seeing is kamala harris, the vice president, will double down on her efforts to convince republican women that they should vote for joe biden because of women's health care, and a woman's right to choose,

and they will say joe biden will do what it can to make sure abortion is protected and legal in this country. obviously it's up to states, but there's a lot of reporting surrounding what donald trump might do if he gets into office. donald trump has said he doesn't support a federal abortion ban and should be left up to the states. j.d. vance, although he did elude to supporting a federal abortion ban when running for the senate, but now says it should be left up to the states. and now the heritage project and 225, they might use the levers of the government branch making it difficult to get an abortion anywhere in the country, and one act could take the abortion pill off the market shelves at

pharmacies. while donald trump says it will be left up to the states, there are plans for transitions. donald trump says i will not ban abortion nationwide, but he has spoken highly of the heritage foundation. the people who have written the project 225 manifesto, the transition document, they are close aides to donald trump and serving on the campaign, so the biden campaign will push that. don't listen to his words, listen to his actions and look who he surrounded himself with, and now they will use j.d. vce to first that. >> carlos, today'sheme at the rnc isake america safe once again with a focus on crime and immigration, tying these two issues together. what do you make of that? >> well, josé, these issues have been powerful for republicans under the biden presidency and

are doubling down on i they do not perceive any risks highlighting a lot of the crime we have seein recent years, and we have to recognize things have gotten better when it comes to violent crime in our country, but without doubt in the wake of the pandemic, there was a lot of violent crime and lawleness in american cities, and it's the republicans making a play for ose part of the democratic base, hispanics and african americans who had a tough time in the wake of the pandemic and we are seeing some of them shifting over and supporting republicans. donald trump thinks they can continue growing among those constituencies, and i think tonight you wl hea messages that are specifically desaoeupd -- digned to appeal to those voters. >> thank you for being with me this morning. on the push to confirm

president biden as the democratic nominee in as little as two weeks, and we will speak to senator cory booker. we will ct in just minut. andhen local police ward seet serce of suspicious peon eve before the shooter was on the roof and took aim the former president trump. janet napolitano will join us and give us her perspective on what happened on saturday. wee back in 90 seconds. you are watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost.

14 past the hour, as republicans gather in milwaukee for their convention, president biden is hitting the road. the president now in the battleground state of nevada where he will hold a series of events over the next couple of days. this comes as "the new york times" reports the democratic national committee leaders are moving ahead with plans to make biden the party's nominee by the end of july even as he still faces questions about his candidacy in the wake of the debate performance. >> do you feel like you weathered the storm on this issue of whether you should be on the ticket or not? >> look, 14 million people voted for me to be the nominee in the democratic party, okay? i listen to them.

>> mike memoli is traveling with the president. how will the president counter the program rnc? >> this counter programming effort is an all hands on deck strategy on the part of the biden campaign and the democratic natnal committee. we just saw biden hosting a press conference to resnd to what we heard at the republican national convention last night, and cory booker leading that charge talking about what the new trump/vance ticket would mean. vance would dohat mike pence wouldn't, which would be overturning an election. the president is here in vegas, and it's a multiday rally, and it would include african american voters and latino voters, and the president will be speaking to a very full ballroom at the naacp

convention. we saw the president as he arrived on air force one traveling with a significant delegation with the members of the cbc. all of this as the president is still continuing to try and reassure, an important show of force as the president is reminding those calling on him to step aside, he does have the backbone of the party here. and also what we wl see from vice president harris, she will hold events in michigan and north carolina, including a conversation with republican women as they look ahead and try to highlight the divisions in the republican party as well. >> thank you so much, mike memoli. and here to continue the conversation, senator cory booker. it's always a pleasure to see you. you and i go back so many years

with your long and respectful relationship with the latino community that you have very much protected and underlined, and i want to thank you for that always. >> i want to thank you, because i have a latina chief of staff that was praising you up and down when she found out i was going to be having an interview with you. it's good to be back with you. >> send her my best, if you would. you said you would support whoever the nominee is coming out of the convention, your words. do you want that nominee to be joe biden? >> we are at a point now where a lot of people are trying to insinuate daylight between democrats and i am refusing to play into that. this is a party united on its focus on beating donald trump. our nominee is joe biden, and until he makes a decision otherwise, that is t case. so what i am focused on right now is keepingeople's

attention on the outrageous lies so far, and fact checkers have seen dozs of them on day one of the convention, and more ary than that is project 225, and it's an attack on women's reproductive rights and getting rid of the aordable care act and undermining peoples' access to having health care, and trying to undermine social security and retirement security. this is the time for america to see the car choice, and i am here to highlight that. >> you just spoke at a dnc project, and highlighting that 2025 project, and why is that so concerning to you? >> well, i think a lot of people didn't believe donald trump the last time around when he said he was going to overturn roe v.

wade, when he said things like women who get abortions should be punished and he talked about corporate taxes and the things he would do to benefit the very rich and no focus on protecting workers and workers' rights. this time we have in clear plain english a plan laid out on the group he relied on to vet his supreme court candidates, the heritage foundation, the leader of the foundation said things like there's a second revolution that will be bloodless depending on the behavior of democrats, and that's the kind of rhetoric they are saying now, and in that document they are saying scary things, like cutting social security benefits, and getting rid of the affordable care act and pushing for a national ban on abortion, and the document is hundreds of pages and therere

frightening things, and even a majority of republicans don't age with. people should believe wha they hear and see what republicans and trump will do if they get a second term. >> trump picked j.d. vance, who has only been a senator for a year and a half. what do you think of that choice? >> he's a colleague of mine, and i wish him and his family the best. i am praying for their safety during this experience. it's a lot to put yourself out there on the national ticket. you are facing all kinds of outrage. i actually was happy for the pick, because, again, it lays plain the stark choices america has. listen to what j.d. vance says as well, he believes there should be no abortion in ameca even in the case of rape and incest, and he has said strong things when it comes to upending

and overturning the affordable care act. he's one of those people supporting a lot of the most outrageous and extreme policies donald trump supports that most americans, republican and democrat, don't. >> you know, senator, this is kind of a question that i have had, and i still can mull over all the time. this weekend's assassination attempt raised many concerns about the tone of the political rhetoric in our country. your entire career, you have been able to criticize and draw differences with people without insulting, and you just did that right now when you referred to j.d. vance. senator, how do we get to this point in our nation? why is it becoming toxic to have conversations? why is it almost impossible to be able to have respectful disagreements without getting to insults? >> look, i worry -- when you say

toxic, i want people to understand, i think what you are saying is more real and literal in a sense that the greatest threat to the nation right now is not a foreign adversary, it's the toxicity and cancer of hate where we have so created this tribalisic characters of each other, and that makes it a toxic environment. even coming together on the things we agree on is difficult. i have seen studies where they put out a policy and don't associate with either party and you get these incredible 60, 70, 80% of people agree with policy ideas. that's why i am psyched about things like common sense universal background checks. not controversial, it will save lives. most nra members agree with that. or not kicking people out of the

country who are here on student visas when they get degrees in things that half of congress can't spell, and we kick them out of the country. reproductive rights. most americans, and we have seen it in red states where they come out in droves to vote and try to preserve access to abortion care. we are americans, and the lines that divide us are nowhere near as strong as the ties that bind us, and what we need is not just a tamped down political rhetoric. we need, again, more leaders on both sides of the aisle that will call to the moral imagination of the country and remind people that we have one destiny, and we need to put more indivisible in this nation under god, and where advancing the kind of manufacturing boom that came from the eisenhower highway act, or the gi bill. when we do things together, there's no stopping us.

we don't only lead to great things here in america, but we lead the world to want to be more like us. >> what that really means if you distill it. i want to ask about a jury deliberating on senor menendez. you called on him to resign last year. what are your thoughts on the senator today? >> my heart aches overhis. i did call on him to resign. you know this is a person i served with over ten years, and the things heas bee accused i have not seen in him, and he is now being judged by jury of his peers, and it's a sad and sobering day to see a senator under this kind of criminal indictment. >> let's continue this conversation going forward, if you would. always a pleasure to see you.

>> gracias. new reporting about the assassination attempt on former president trump, and we will speak about that and what went wrong. janet napolitano joins us, next. secretary, thank you, and we will join you in just a minute. e join the millions of filies who've trusted us and connect with background-checked caregivers iyour area. ♪♪ so you can have a summer break that doesn't break you. go to care.com now. ♪♪ (man) mm, hey, honey. go to care.com now. looks like my to-do list grew.

reporting about what happened in the momts leading up tthe assassination attempt to the former president trump. a u.s. official tells nbc news local pice officers warned the secret service they were looking for a suspicious person before the gunman opened fire. police say the shooter's motive remains unclear. that comes as new intelligence documents from the fbi and department of homeland security reveal new details about how the shooter planned for the attack. shaquille brewster joins us. >> reporter: that document you just referenced is showing the fbi is making progress in their goal of piecing together not just the motive but piecing together the timeline of crooks' movements in the hours and days before the shooting. according to the document you are looking at on screen right now, on saturday prior to arriving to the rally, he purchased 50 rounds of

ammunition at a shop here in pennsylvania, and i spoke to the owner of what we believe that shop, and he told me the fbi came in sunday morning asking for specific information and asking for receipts and details. he is saying they are cooperating with members of law enforcement, and that's clearly how you are seeing the partnership happen between investigators and many of the entities in the area. that document also saying between a search they did of the suspect's home behind me and of his vehicle near the campaign site, they found three suspected improvised explosive devices and they were able to render them safe, and that gives you an idea of planning that went into the attack ahead of time. in the house they found more than a dozen weapons. we know that although they are making progress on the timeline, they are still struggling to find a motive. they have been able to go through his phone, to break in

his phone, and they sti do not have an ideology of why he acted that way on saturday. >> the weapons in his home were not the alleged shooter's, but could be from the family. >> reporter: yeah, the weapon that was used in saturday's attack was connected to his father, and it was purchased legally and was an ar-15 style rifle. more than a dozen weapons that were found inside of his home are not necessarily all associated with the shooter. >> thank you so much. joining us now, former secretary of homeland security in the obama administration. it's a pleasure to speak with you. i thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> when you watched that video on saturday of the assassination

attempt, what did you see? >> well, my immediate thoht was this is outrageous, and it's unacceptable and there was clearly a secury failure of jor proportions. like my others that commented since the shooting, the immediate questions that come to mind are tactical. how did the shooter get so clos operational. was the shooter working with anybod else. psychological. what was the shooter's motivation? and secondary, what are the political impacts from that. from a security detail aspect, this was a failure. >> when will you say a failure of major proportions, and the security director spoke this morning, and take a listen to what she said. >> should that roof have been secured period? >> that building in particular

has a sloped roof at its highest point so there's a safety factor that would be considered there where we wldn't want to put somebody on a sloped roof, so the decision was made to secure the building from inside. >> a lot of questions on that one. a sped roof, that's -- i mean, the sharp shooters that were standing by the former president were on a slope roo it looked li, and to secure a building from the inside, what do u make of that? >> i think what i make of it is the director is still struggling to find out what exactly haened. you know, there are two basic options from a proteion option. one is the secret service has a security plan, inner parameter and outer parameter, and they establish sweeping or ieds and things of that sort. they also work with local law

enforcement, and they work with local law enforcement often times to secure the outer parameter of the event. why? because the secret service, they only have a certain number of manpower and they supplement with the local law enforcement. but the secret service remains the responsible entity, the responsible agency. the plan was defective, or the plan was good and somebody screwed up. >> what do you think accountability should look like in this case? >> well, i think we need to avoid a rush to judgment. i mean, we -- it's obvious there was a security failure here. how that happened, what led up to it, who was responsible, that will take days or weeks to ascertain. we ought to let that process -- i understand there's going to be

an independent investigation conducted that has been commissioned by president biden, and congress, of course, will have its multiple of hearings. we hope those don't descend into typical partisanship. you know, look, this happened, and it never should have happened and it's unacceptable. the question is what changes need to be made to prevent it from happening again. >> yeah, and just your thoughts. i mean, this was a high-speed round coming in from under 150 yards that the former president was nicked in the ear. this was really, really close. not only that, but there was a fatality and two people critically injured in this event. yes. >> so you know, as i have said, is should never have happened. it's unacceptable. when you are assigned the

protection of a protectee like donald trump or a vice president candidate, it's a zero fail environment. you cannot have this happen. >> janet napolitano, thank you very much for being with me this morning. appreciate it. >> thank you. next, we will go live to the floor of the republican national convention with katie tour. with clearer ski and show it off.

day two of the republican national convention where its theme today is make america safe. and nikki haley is set to speak at the convention, and this is after she released her delegates so they could support donald trump. katy tur, what does nikki haley speaking tonight signify? >> nikki haley was not invited

as of a few days ago, and then after the attempted assassination happened -- sorry if you can hear behind me. they are doing the checks for the speakers tonight. and the campaign is to project a more unified message after what happened on saturday. nikki haley went toe-to-toe with donald trump for quite a while in her campaign, and she was able to get support that maybe indicated there was maybe a protest vote within the republican party that don't want trump and want somebody else, so there was no love lost between nikki haley and donald trump. the maga movement wanted to reject her altogether. and then there's an attempt to show there's unity within the party. we will see what she has to say. the reporting suggests she will

try and appeal to her voters and more moderate republicans to convince them to get onboard and stick by donald trump in the next election, and as moderate republicans and independents are the ones wary of donald trump according to our polling. will nikki haley be effective and will her voters listen to her? >> katy tur, thankou so much. we will look into how j.d. vance went to a never trumper to trump's running mate. you're watchg "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. ée diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. my memory became much sharper. i remembered more! i've been taking prevagen for fo years now. it's a life-changer. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

now that former president trump tapped j.d. vance as his running mate, his record and statements are under the microscope, as a vocal opponent of aid to ukraine and abortion rights, and he echoed trump's false claims about the 2020 presidential ection and ahole lotore. joing us, a politic msnbc analyst, and also an msnbc political analysts. tim, you are out with a new piece where you say that j.d. vance wants to take america to a dark place. what do you mean by that? >> i am just echoing about what he said about how donald trump wanted to take the white working class to a dark place. vance sounded like me. we were in a never trumper crowd. he was on "hardball" with chris

matthews when he talked about howe thoug donaltrumpas guilty of sexual assault, and that was before the trial. inead o ting to win trump over to his poi o view and ying w nd the addss underlying problems, j.d is doin wt trump did bac then for his own gain. >> do you think that's a political -- >> i think it's misunderstood trump or didn' -- it's easy to understand donald trump. he has been the same guy since the 1980s. maybe j.d., the best you could argue i he thinks by getting in the he can bring some serious policy. i will say in the senate, he did

work with democrats and populis. he has gone along with trump conspiracy craziness that has been thepioid he warned about -- the rhetorical opioid. >> what do you think this is saying? >> trump is saying, i want a legacy i want maga to live on. things have changed and evolved for trump, especially after the shooting on saturday. he is looking towards being stamped into history not just for his time in office but i think for the future to what tim said, j.d. vance is an opportunist. he is smart. jose, what's scares me is that he although new to government, he has been elected for 18

months, he understands policy. i think he will g to places if elected that trump doesn't care about in government and start making fundamental changes. >> like what do you mean? >> he can go into regulatory areas that trump doesn't care about drilling or what's going on in a specific state. he can play in on poly makin at a midevelhatas a huge affect, because donald trump doesn't care. he can go i and doj and start looking at offices around the country. donald trump only cares about the ones investigating him. he can make those changes that will have long-term affects. >> what about nikki haley really go harder against trump? now she's speaking tonight. >> that's disappointing. isn't it? it's what we have come to expect. she has on the on again off

again train with trump. she sounded like me in 2016. she's speaking tonight because she wants to keep heriability open. i think she's staken about wherthe party is going. susan is corrt,he party i gog dow maga phven ter trump is j.d. vance is a more natural hr to that. the only way to stay vble is to endorse trum i thihat'shyhe's doing it. >> do you think there a role or a space for nikki haley in 2028 or anywhere else? >> we have to see what happens in 2024. right now, i think tim is right. we have to look at her as -- she's thinking of herself in 2028. is there a role if trump loses? there's more of a role. th she wldn'tave to jump off of maga and a trump office, but she wouldn't have to run

agait j.d. vance. that's 2028. right now she sold out. i tnk she and ron destis being invited last minute tohe convention was part of an overall theme that donald trump want to softe the edges a little bit and say, okay, you were my enemy but come on now. he knows they won't pull a ted cruzt the convention. they will fall in line. >> tim, of all the things, r hnson, the senat delivered a speech in which he called the democratic party a clear and present danger to america. he told our colleague that the wrong speech was loaded into the teleprompter. >> that's an oopsie. here is the thing that's important about that, besis being embarrassing for ron johnson, is the convention didn't have a clear message, which wasn't great for trump.

it also didn't have the scary thing that i wasorried out, aot of waving of e body sht, calling forvengeance, calling the other side a clear and present danger, tieing joe biden to the horrible assassin, we didn't see that. that's good for everybody. that's good for the country. i'm glad it was a mistake that that was in the ron johnson speech. >> that's a good point. to the complaint's credit, they put the word out on sunday to the speakers, don't changeour speeches. we don want go that way. me veed off, but that'ot surising, like mjorie taylor greene iagree, i'm graful thahere wasn the violent rheric tt uld heeen out there. >>usan and tim, we cld coin our conversation. i am grateful to see y here in studio. thank you very much. thank you. that wraps up the hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart. you can reach me on social media.
