cool, he did a cameo, and you know, again, we shot in oklahoma. i think it's -- you know, we had all these kind of homages to the first film. sadly, i do miss -- i miss the cow, you know. i do. but you know, it's -- you know, i think that isaac did an amaze ing job of taking inspiration from the original film and taking it to another level. >> briefly how did that happen? you sort of nod to the original but also make it your own. >> yeah, we all loved that rim film, so it seemed like everybody was trying to bring stuff into this one, including the cow, that was a constant thing people were trying to put into this movie. we're just trying to show love to that first one. ultimately, this cast, these are incredible new actors who are up and coming and just doing incredible things and the story is new, the science experiment is new, and what ilam can do with these tornados, it's the

most complex tornados we've ever seen in cinemas. just to be able to do that and make this film completely new to today, that was exciting. >> that was excellent. >> watching it is going to be like ride ago scary roller coaster. "twisters" will be in theaters nationwide starting tomorrow, co-stars, glen powell, daisy l edgar-jones, thank you all very much for coming on the show this morning. we appreciate it. that does it for us this morning, we'll see you tomorrow 6:00 a.m. ana cabrera picks up the coverage right now. right now on "ana cabrera reports," a tale of two presidents, president biden now sidelined from campaigning by covid facing pressure from the highest ranks of his party to reconsider his bid as donald trump is set to address the rnc, after surviving a shooting while his running mate calls on the gop to unite. >> my message to you my fellow

republicans is we love this country, and we are united to win. also ahead, shocking revelations about the hour leading up to the attempted assassination, including repeated missed chances to stop the gunman. the outrage growing on capitol hill with demands for the director of the secret service to resign. thanks for joining us. it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york, and we begin with an extraordinary split screen in the race for the white house. on one side the final day of the rnc, it's donald trump's turn to speak and accept his party's nomination. his first public remarks since the attempt on his life. on the other, president joe biden sidelined from the trail by covid-19 and facing mounting pressure to get out of the race, calls now coming from the highest levels of congress. let's go to nbc's white house

correspondent allie raffa who's joining us from delaware, and eugene daniels from the rnc in milwaukee. what are you hearing from the white house with the president now off the trail and self-isolating while he's facing this pressure from fellow democrats. >> reporter: yeah, ana, the president waking up here at his rehoboth beach home this morning starting to recover from that covid-19 diagnosis after cutting his trim to battleground nevada short yesterday, and the white house says that he is conning to carry out all of his duties as he self-isolates here. his doctor says that he's suffering from mild symptoms like a runny nose, a cough, just general fatigue adding that he's taking the drug paxlovid to deal with those symptoms. but obviously with his age being 81 years old, we expect him to be very closely monitored over the coming days. and ana, the plan was always for the president to spend the next few days here in rehoboth beach, but of course this couldn't come at a more difficult time for the

president and of course his campaign as he tries to continue quieting these growing calls from members of his own party to pass the torch to another person, another person to be put at the top of the democratic ticket, and now we're seeing growing pressure from more prominent democrats. we saw adam schiff come out yesterday and call for the president to step aside. we know that senate majority leader chuck schumer has had very blunt conversations with the president and cnn is now reporting that former speaker nancy pelosi has had blunt conversations with the president in recent days showing him polling data, showing him vulnerabilities in down ballot races if he stays at the top of the ticket, and the white house this morning is reacting to those meetings saying, quote, president biden is the nominee of the party. he plans to win and looks forward to working with congressional democrats to pass his 100 days agenda to help working families. remember, ana, the president has said in interviews that the only

things that would cause him to reconsider staying in this race are the lord almighty or a medical condition. the white house is saying during this sensitive time this illness is not impacting whether he is going to stay in the race. of course we know from sources familiar with his private conversations in recent days that he is more heavily considering the gravity of this situation, really considering the impact this could have on his legacy. >> we just went through some of the new reporting, you have also reporting with "politico" and the headline speaks for itself, schumer and jeffries tell biden directly they have deep concerns about the election. walk us through your reporting. >> yeah, last week chuck schumer went to delaware to talk with the president. they had this kind of blunt conversation where they just basically laid out all the details, laid out all the information to president biden to say, look, this is how bad

it's going to be for you, but also this is how bad it's going to be for us. that's something hakeem jeffries has done, that's something that nancy pelosi especially has done because they are worried about the down ballot effects. they're obviously worried about the presidency, but they're more worried about what they're hearing from their members. they're hearing from their caucus that they want him to go, publicly and privately, right? and so you have a kind of movement that seems to be building and i will say this is the first time that some folks who have been on joe biden's side that i've talked to, that a lot of my colleagues have talked to, feel more open to the idea that he may not be the nominee. it does feel like the ground is shifting but the story line has changed multiple times over multiple weeks at this point. we still don't know how he's feeling about pulling the trigger. >> so i wonder, eugene, how do you see this split screen moment, biden sidelined facing calls to step back from the race while trump just survived an assassination attempt is about to give an rnc speech on unity.

>> i mean, it is a completely different world than the republicans are used to living in. i saw senator ted cruz while i was here, and i asked him how are you feeling? the party here feels like they're singing from the same song book. there's less boos for certain speakers at previous conventions for this party, and what he said is it's nice to have the shoe on the other foot. it's usually us tearing them apart. that's new for them. it does feel like that when you talk to them about even nikki haley, ron desantis, people who had tough things to say about former president trump at one point, they say that's in the past. i will say when you talk to them about president joe biden, the possibility of him stepping aside, i haven't talked to one delegate that's excited about that possibility. i haven't talked to one member of congress, one senator, one, you know, republican operative who thinks that's something that's going to be good for them in this party.

>> interesting, eugene daniels, thanks for your reporting. allie raffa, keep us posted on any new developments with the president. joining us now is democratic strategist richard goodstein and former adviser to republican house speaker john boehner, maura gillespie. i want to talk about this split screen, trump set to speak at the rnc tonight after surviving an assassination attempt, after getting multiple legal victories recently recently. you have president biden now sidelined by covid as he's facing more pressure from his party to step aside. what do you make of it? >> i would take issue a little bit on this whole republicans are united. we're not seeing george w. bush, mitt romney, dick cheney, mike pence, paul ryan, and the list goes on, people who worked very closely with donald trump in the white house, all of whom call him unfit. of course we're not seeing him, but they still represent people. they're not isolationists, they're not protectionists,

they're not for giving pardons to cop beaters. i think this covid diagnosis was a blessing in disguise, as opposed to going from one event to another, one interview to another, the president can kind of relax, focus, talk with people about what's going on, certainly all the indications from what's being reported is that he is more open to this and he's talking more about should i stick it out, and more can kamala pull it off, and i do think there's no alternative but to her being the nominee if he does step aside. this was always going to be the process. the public calls made him bristle. that's why these meetings were more in private. nancy pelosi goes on "morning joe" and sort of like opens the floodgates a little bit for these leading democrats to convey to him directly what's at stake. remarkably the polls have not cratered after the debate and after the assassination attempt. >> that's one thing he keeps pointing to. >> he does. the fact that the democrats are doing so much better at the

senate level and all these swing states, the problem is not democrats and their policies and what they represent. it's biden's age. >> so maura, literally just a few hours before we had heard biden in an interview with b.e.t. say if he were to reconsider stepping aside, it would be because of something like a medical condition. then he, we find out, is diagnosed with covid. however, it's a little different than what he's been saying previously. let's give everybody a reminder. >> if you can be convinced that you cannot defeat donald trump, will you stand down? >> that depends on what the lord almighty. >> if your team came back and showed you data that she would fare better against former president donald trump, would you reconsider your decision to stay in the race? >> no, unless they came back and said there's no way you can win.

>> we will 1000% in your words, see you on the ballot in november? >> unless i get hit by a train, yeah. >> what could a prolonged absence from the campaign trail mean for the president in this moment? >> he's missing out on opportunities to reach voters that need to be convinced. i quite frankly don't see how they will be. i don't see how what biden has been doing is good for the country. there's been conversations about his age since he went into office four years ago. we knew his age then. it's not like as if he went benjamin button style and started getting younger. that's not reality, and i think that this conversation from democrats should have happened far sooner, dean phillips tried bringing it up, and he was largely shunned by his fellow democrats for having brought the conversation up passing the torch to the next generation. i think it's a little too late to be having this conversation. and trump's campaign will be sure to make sure biden's on the

ticket. >> i want to detail some of this new reporting. the president has lost the most powerful members and allies on the hill. senate majority leader chuck schumer presented president biden with polling data in a blunt one-on-one meeting saturday according to two sources, but the sources would not say if schumer directly called on biden to consider dropping out. and then according to cnn, former house speaker nancy pelosi privately told president biden in a recent conversation that polling shows that the president cannot defeat donald trump and that biden could destroy democrats' chances of winning the house in november. look, these conversations as far as we know, happened days ago. the fact that the information is just coming out now, does that signal their way of trying to pressure president biden, do you think? >> i think it does, and i think they were hoping that there would be a more immediate kind of pullback by biden, but let's not kind of overlook the fact

that by any, you know, kind of reckoning, they'd want to have the republican convention over before anything was announced, and not only does biden have to decide whether to pull out and i think most democrats at this point hope he does, but when and what's his message when he does that? he's not going to say oh, i was browbeating into pulling out. he's got to make it look positive and assume he's going to pass the baton to kamala, put that in a positive light. i think he can do that, but that takes time. that doesn't happen the minute you want it to. >> it doesn't seem like there's a lot of time for this decision to be made and to be firmed up. maura, i'm curious what you're hearing from republicans who maybe don't want to vote for donald trump. maybe they were leaning toward biden, how are they seeing things? >> it's beyond frustrating for people who, again, we were given these choices that a majority of the american people did not want to have again, and so when you're looking at the polls, it's not about, you know, it's my choice between two terrible

choices. that's not our option here. the reality is the candidates need toe convince us to give our votes to them, and if they don't, we can write in. and i know people have objections to that, but that's part of the freedoms of this country is my freedom to write in who i choose to vote for president because the parties failed to give me choices that were actually adequate to have the biggest job in the world. >> the people leaning towards biden vote for vice president harris at the top of the ticket? her one task she had was the border, and she didn't do it. people are going to pull that out. trump world is going to hit on that so hard, and people who have felt lost in the republican party will continue to feel lost, and i think voter turnout will suffer because of it. >> conversation to be continued. thank you both so much, richard good steen and maura gillaspieg what jd vance will bring.

revealing that the shooter was reported as a suspicious person a whole hour before he began shooting. local police also warned the secret service there was a suspicious person with a range finder 20 minutes before shots rang out, and before trump had even taken the stage. nbc's erin mclaughlin joins us with the latest from butler, pennsylvania. erin, what more do we know about the sequence of events on saturday? >> reporter: well, ana, we're just getting some new information with a source -- from a source with knowledge of a briefing that took place yesterday between security services and u.s. senators. during that briefing, according to the source, the fbi said that they had located the search history of the suspect, and in that search history they identified a number of images including images of former president trump, president biden, as well as other public officials.

in the search history, they also located dates for events for the former president as well as the chicago dnc. so that is what we're hearing so far. all of this as authorities continue to piece together that time line. take a listen. this morning a chilling thu video appears to show the shooter walking outside the security perimeter at the rally in butler, pennsylvania, before former president trump took the stage. it's a potentially critical piece of evidence showing the moments leading up to the attempted assassination. senate members in a briefing wednesday afternoon provided with a time line from the fbi and the secret service. three sources familiar with the briefing tell nbc news according to that time line over an hour elapsed between the time the shooter was photographed as a suspicious person and when he opened fire. and 20 minutes before the shooting, pennsylvania state police notified the secret service of a suspicious person with a range finder. two minutes later, the secret

service notified snipers of the suspicious individual. at 6:02 p.m., mr. trump walks on stage. >> right there, right on the roof! >> by 6:09, this video shows people yelling they've spotted a person on a rooftop. the first shots ring out just minutes later at 6:11. >> who was in charge of that building? why wasn't the roof scrutinized? how did all of these things happen? >> overnight a secret service spokesperson clarifying to nbc news that they were notified of a suspicious person possibly carrying a backpack and a golf range finder that required further investigation. but that it wasn't until he retrieved the weapon and climbed the roof that he was identified as a threat. at the republican national convention, senators expressing their frustration to the secret service director. >> this was an assassination

attempt. >> reporter: a senior law enforcement official telling nbc news the shooter was also found with a transmitter, a remote control for a fireworks detonator next to his body. the house oversight committee has subpoenaed the director of the secret service to testify at a public hearing this month. the department of homeland security has responded saying that she is available either later this month or early next month. that according to a letter seen by nbc news. ana. >> erin mclaughlin, thank you so much. joining us now, former secret service special agent ev vi pom por ras. we just walked through the time line of events here. this shooter was flagged as a suspicious person an hour before this event got underway. what should have happened at that point? >> there's a breakdown in communication. even from when he's spotted the first time, it took local police to notify the secret service over 40 minutes. when you spot someone suspicious, the goal is you want to engage them, hi, who are you?

what are you doing here? what do you have in here? do you mind if i just search your bag. those are little things you can do. you want to engage people to get an understanding of who they are. you can see this breakdown in communication where he had a range finder. the translation to the u.s. secret service was it's for golf. how do you know it's for golf, did you have that conversation with him? i think the clear breakdown is communication because it's being passed and it's not being passed properly, and sometimes these can be the issues that come across when you're working with these different entities. you have local police, right? you have state police. then you have u.s. secret service. typically in a security room or command post. i'm not familiar with this particular setup. you'll have representatives from each of these places sitting in the com area so when the locals hear something, hey, they turn around and they tell you and you talk to one another and put that information out to their people. my understanding, though, is the local department i think had 12 officers. they didn't have that manpower, and my understanding is also

that they were tasked for traffic. one of the issues you have when you work these events in these small areas or small towns, 50% of the law enforcement departments in the u.s. have ten officers or less. also, they don't have resources or the knowledge. that's the one aspect. the other aspect is for the later time line, okay, but you had that 20 minute window where the secret service had heard that somebody -- >> with a range finder. >> with a range finder. >> was suspicious on site. and that is the question that i have, i think, next, which is even if there's a communication breakdown, secret service is acknowledging they had that information. i mean, what happened to better safe than sorry? should they have allowed trump to get up on that stage? and there's certainly no indication anybody confronted the suspicious person. >> you know what it is? they do so many of these -- and i'm just speaking from my own experience. you do so many of these, there's so many suspicious people. these things come up all the time, and the problem i think

sometimes is how do you figure out what's real and what's not? the majority of the time they're not, and i think maybe that's also coming into play, and also, historically when you do protection, the whole goal is not to impede or interfere with your protectee, and maybe that's going to change. maybe it's going to be a little bit more of, sir, you're not going to get up on that stage on time because they do, they have -- and it was said earlier, they have an agenda, it's published. it's public. they try to stay on point, and your goal is to do protection but not interfere or disrupt the agenda or the schedule, and maybe that's what needs to happen to have a bit more of a stronger voice to say, sir, ma'am, we're not going to be letting you get up on stage. historically they try not to do that, and maybe that's what's going to shift. taking more of an authoritative role in doing protection. >> and of course it's the lessons learned that will be applied moving forward. everything is 20/20 in

hindsight, right whrks you look at the situation. let me ask you about a piece of new information, the shooter visited the rally site a few days in advance to scope it out. that's what the secret service told lawmakers in their briefings yesterday. should there have already been security on site a few days in advance? what does this tell you? >> no, so when you go out to do a site advance, if it's domestic, you typically get about a week. rallies were always the worst because it's all open and just there are vulnerabilities everywhere. you're building the plan during that week. you're deciding where are my snipers going to go. do i need snipers, how many do i need. where's my counter assault team going to go. how am i going to build a perimeter, the stage. that's what you're choreographing. then as you get closer, you start to build everything out. because this was so far out that way, you really wouldn't post anybody in that area. it was also a business. what really should have happened is the moment that this -- the event itself, because there are

a lot of obvious points and breaches that happen that this person bypassed. i think also psychologically that people are struggling with, it's such a primitive plan. this kid, he's less than 21, decided to do this. strolled on over. we have video of him walking around. he has multiple points of contact with security. claims up on a roof and he's able to execute this, and i think that is what people are struggling with this the most. if it were a very sophisticated plan, maybe people could wrap their minds around it. i think because of how this transpired it's really hard for people to be even remotely understanding. >> yeah, there's so many answers that we need from the secret service as to how this happened and what fell apart. thank you so much, evy for being here and offering your expertise and analysis of all of this. we appreciate it. up next here on "ana cabrera reports" a rust belt boost, did

turning back now to the republican national convention. tonight donald trump will give his acceptance speech to end the convention. his first public remarks since he survived the assassination attempt on saturday. but last night was a big moment for trump's new running mate, ohio senator j.d. vance used his speech to accept the gop nomination for vice president to praise trump and to take on president biden. >> for half a century, he's been the champion of every major policy initiative to make

america weaker and poorer. and in four short years, donald trump reversed decades of betrayals inflicted by joe biden and the rest of the corrupt washington insiders. >> msnbc anchor katy tur is joining us from the convention site. also with us, charlie sykes, msnbc contributor and columnist, and craig gilbert, political columnist for the milwaukee journal sentinel. katy, how did vance's speech land with the people there? what stood out to you? >> it landed really well, if you're going to argue on economics, the democrats will say they've got a good economic to put forward on job creation, all of these indicators, these data points are good. obviously people are not experiencing them that way, which is why a message like that from j.d. vance resonates so well, especially in this room here full of true donald trump believers. they really liked his speech.

it went over well. he did the praising of donald trump. he talked about the economics. he went after joe biden. but then he also told his own personal story, which is pretty well-known. people have read the book. it was a best seller. "hillbilly elegy." there was a movie about it. this is when they got to see him give his own story in his own words. there was one moment in particular that stood out to me that ended with chants of mamaw. >> in my life i had a guardian angel by my side. she was an old woman who could barely walk, but she was tough as nails. i called her mamaw. the name we hill billies gave to our grandmothers. but she also loved the "f" word. i'm not kidding. she could make a sailor blush. my mamaw died shortly before i left for iraq in 1995. when we went through her things,

we found 19 loaded handguns. >> listen, i don't say mamaw well, my grandmother refused to let me call her grandmother, i had to call her by her first name. that went over really well, his story. "axios" made a point of why it went over so well, i think it's worth reading. they write vance essentially had won gop story telling bingo, a cute story about a religious but feisty grandma with guns, ana. >> so that was the personal side we got to see of j.d. vance, and the voters got to be introduced to, but charlie, here's how "the new york times" describes vance's short tenure as a politician. the times wris he has distinguished himself as an outspoken proponent of populist policies supporting antitrust enforcement at home, promoting an isolationist foreign policy, and positioning himself as a first line of defense against a justice department that he claimed was persecuting mr.

trump. is that the j.d. vance we saw on the stage last night? >> that's the j.d. vance that we ought to recognize. i mean, i think our job is not to judge these speeches like we're scoring figure skaters, but to remember what the stakes are. i think it's worth remembering not just the shape shifting of j.d. vance, but this whole portrayal of him as the, you know, barefoot boy who pulled himself up by his boot straps, when in fact, he is where he is because a silicon valley billionaire decided to bankroll his campaign. so there is some cognitive dissonance there. the other major development yesterday i hope doesn't get lost is that the russian foreign minister lavrov went out of his way to praise the selection of j.d. vance because he recognizes that j.d. vance is probably one of the foremost isolationists in american politics, and somebody that, quite frankly, the kremlin was absolutely delighted to see

chosen. so he made an effective speech yesterday that was well-received as one would expect it would be well-received, but j.d. vance needs to be held accountable as well for his positions because what you saw last night was really the kind of wrenching change in the republican party, which is now rejecting decades of free market economics, internationalism, and full throated rejection of reaganism. >> one of the reasons we've learned vance was selected is because of his potential appeal to voters in some key states like wisconsin, a key state for trump to win in november, really for either candidate, either party to win in november. so i'm curious how vance might connect in your mind when you've been speaking with voters with the folks there and what else you're hearing from voters and their reactions to the many developments that have come in this campaign recently. >> yeah, so small town midwest working class, those are three

of the terms that i think republicans hoped voters in these northern battlegrounds would hear in vance's speech last night, and in a state like wisconsin, you can understand the political logic of that, it's the most white, blue collar of all the battlegrounds. that's over half the voters. it's a big part of both parties. it's not a monolithic block. you've got a lot of white working democrats in wisconsin, a lot of white working class republicans, so i think the political calculus is does it -- is it sort of redundant to trump's appeal? does it just sort of give him what he's already got? does it open his margins among this huge part of the electorate or is it a lost opportunity in the sense that on the downside for republicans they've been losing votes among suburbanites and college educated voters. these are the tradeoffs. >> what are you hearing from voters there? >> well, this just happened. going into last few weeks,

wisconsin every signal was wisconsin is an absolute jump ball. that was all the polling. it's a 50/50 state, it was a 50/50 election in '16. a 50/50 election in '20. the evidence i think and then we had the biden debate, assassination attempt, and we have the convention. i think the early evidence -- and you've heard this before -- is that it's sort of slippage on biden's part. it's not necessarily surging on trump's part. we're going to have to wait for a lot more polling. but you see it looks like it's opening up a little bit. and so, you know, there we are. >> so charlie, i want to play something we heard from an alternate delegate about vance being trump's running mate. watch this. >> i like that some of the other candidates were probably a little bit older, and i really wanted him to pick a younger candidate, you know, vice president because i don't want -- you know, he is a little bit like, you know, they call

him, he's a lame duck president because he can only go four years. he's not up for re-election, so i really viewed his pick for vice president as really critical as to the future, but picking a younger guy, all of a sudden he turns his presidency from a four-year term to potentially a 12-year term. >> from a four-year term to potentially a 12-year term. vance turns 40 next month. do you think that was part of the thinking in this pick? >> it certainly would be because donald trump by picking j.d. vance indicated what he wanted the future of the republican party to look like, and he did, and this is, again, a challenge that democrats -- by the way, i agree with craig's analysis completely of wisconsin. not only is j.d. vance a younger, fresher face for voters, despite all my criticisms here, but this is a challenge for democrats in wisconsin whether or not they are going to meet the -- i mean, the fact the republicans are going for the blue collar rote,

vote, the rural vote, they have to match that. what i'm hearing from voters is what craig was talking about. there's a real high level of anxiety about joe biden right now, not so much a surge for donald trump, but real anxiety about joe biden's ability to win this election, but also to serve for the next four years, and i think that, you know, a series of events including the assassination attempt and the doubts about biden have given permission to many trump skeptical voters to rethink that. that, i think, is the state of play, even anti-trump voters, skeptical voters are thinking maybe this time we can do that, but again, it's a long campaign and as we've seen over the last week, there's a lot of things that can happen between now and november. >> we've got about a minute. i do want to touch on what's going to happen tonight when donald trump gives his acceptance speech. he's been there at the convention all week long. again, tonight is his time to

shine. what are we expecting? what will you be watching for? >> it's been all week for him to shine. he's been sitting here taking in just praiseful speech after praiseful speech from everybody, everyone coming in and saying what a hero he is, how brave he is, and he's been sitting here and letting it wash all over him. tonight as you said is going to be his chance. it's his keynote speech. we keep getting told to expect surprises, that it has changed since saturday. i've covered donald trump for a long time now, and there's always been moments of opportunity for him. there's been a few that he has had in front of him, to pivot, to change his tone, to sound a little bit more unifying, and this convention has had more of a unifying theme than in the past, but i've never really seen him walk through that door or walk through that door and stay there. this has been a campaign defined by donald trump up until this point with vengeance. he will be the retribution that

the republican party wants. watch tonight but maybe don't hold your breath. >> i think we will all be holding our breath because you never know what's going to come out of donald trump's mouth. thank you so much. you can catch katy at the rnc. up next on "ana cabrera reports," i'll talk to a florida congressman, jared moscow wits as the secret service director heads to the hill. what questions he hopes to ask about the attempted assassination of donald trump. plus, an update on the political future of democratic senator bob menendez and what it means for his party's chances of holding the senate in november. f holdg inthe senate in november ] recipes. recipes that are more than their ingredients. ♪ [smoke alarm] recipes written by hand and lost to time... can now be analyzed and restored using the power of dell ai.

>> do you think the secret service director should step down? >> i think she should. i have been very disappointed in her and her lack of candor. you can't have a bad day. every day you do your job, the bad guy only has to be right once. >> how could this have occurred this close to the death of a former president. time for the head of the secret service go. >> we have to have accountability for this. it was inexcusable. i'm going to call for her resignation as well. >> now those are just some of the growing calls from republican lawmakers for secret service director kimberly cheatle to step down, after new alarming revelations about the chain of events before the attempted assassination of donald trump, including that the shooter was flagged as a suspicious person an hour before

he fired shots at the former president. and we have this just in, new reporting from that meeting with lawmakers yesterday, two sources telling nbc news that senators were told the shooter posted on a gaming platform stream writing, quote, july 13th will be my premier. watch as it unfolds. the house oversight committee has subpoenaed director cheadle to appear on monday. joining us now is florida democratic congressman jared moskowitz. thank you so much for taking the time. we played that mashup of several of your republican colleagues calling on kimberly cheatle to step down. what do you think? should she resign? >> thanks for having me. you have to have accountability. i mean, we have to look at what happened. i mean, we almost had a former president assassinated live on television, right? i mean, that's domestic terrorism. that's an attack on this country, and the idea that no one is accountable, that's what people kind of hate sometimes with the federal government.

this was not a mistake. this was a catastrophic failure, and so, look, i'm happy she's coming to oversight. i supported the chairman's subpoena, sending the subpoena to the director because originally she was backing away. so i'm glad we're going to have this hearing. the american people deserve to hear what we know at the moment and what the failures are at the moment. look, i'm a mile away from marjory stoneman douglas high school where i graduated from, and when we discovered the failures after that shooting, the sheriff was removed from office, and so there has to be accountability when you have these catastrophic security failures. >> what does accountability look like, one, and two, do you have confidence in the secret service director to continue to lead? >> well, look, i think that's what the hearing will determine. i mean, i can tell you right now at this moment based on what has come out, i think she probably should go, whether she resigns or gets removed. i want to hear from her first at the hearing so that we can

separate a little bit fact from fiction on what's been reported on the news and social media. i want to hear directly from her. someone has to go. someone has to go. there has to be accountability. you can't be like oh, we'll fix the policies and procedures. someone has to be fired when we almost have a former president assassinated live on tv for the world to see. >> i know she's been subpoenaed to testify before your committee on monday. there's some question about whether that date could be moved, but if she appears on monday, what do you want to ask her? >> well, i mean, i want to hear from her how someone with an ar-15 got on a roof with direct line of sight to the president, former president. i want to hear that, right? and then i want to hear from her what's her accountability plan, right? if there were failures and she has acknowledged those failures. she said it was a security fail, great, what's the accountability plan? whose failures was it in her department and who is no longer going to be working there.

if she can't enunciate that, it tells me she needs to go. >> i want to ask you about president biden who was just diagnosed with covid who has been facing growing calls to step aside from the campaign, congressman adam schiff was the latest. where do you stand on whether president biden should continue his campaign? >> look, obviously we wish the president a speedy recovery, but when getting covid is the best day you've had in the last 45 days and maybe you're looking for a post-covid bump in the polls, it's not going well. if we believe in data like the economy's doing well because we look at the stock market. we believe in data because inflation is coming down, then we have to believe in data in the polls. the president has to make that decision. we have a convention coming up in the next couple of weeks. my guess is this is going to be resolved sometime between now and then. >> if it were up to you, do you believe he's the strongest candidate? >> look, it's up to the president. i mean, the polls show that there are other candidates that

can beat donald trump, and the polls show that there are other candidates that can help us stop the bleeding. that's really the point here. there are three races going on. the race for the presidency, the race for the house and the race for the senate. and obviously making sure that we defeat donald trump is the number one priority, but if for some reason we do not win the executive branch and the country decides to give donald trump the wheel, we have to put brakes. we have to give trump brakes. that's what the breaks would be in the house and senate. looking at this holistically, making sure we don't lose the house and senate to donald trump is part of this equation. >> i know you're trying to be respectful of the president to make his decision, if he chooses to step aside, who do you want to see replace limb? >> kamala harris. it's got to go to the vice president based on where we are and assuming the mantle, she was picked to be that transformational person when biden was done. that was the idea when she was originally selected.

i think she's the one to come in. i think you'll see democratic enthusiasm get right around her. it will be the quickest way. remember, we have a short runway here. the president has said that. he's right about that. we to have a short runway, and i think she's the only one who can come in and take that over. i don't think a primary at this juncture would do us any good. >> congressman jared moskowitz, i appreciate you making time for us. thanks for joining. >> thank you. up next on "ana cabrera reports," senator bob menendez to resign, when that might happen and what it means for democrats in the senate. democrats in the senate.

telling them he has made the decision to design. it has to do with the fact that many of his senate colleagues have taken a step forward other than just calling on him to resign, also saying they would be willing to expel him from the senate if he doesn't resign on his own. his seatmate in new jersey, senator cory booker, had been resistant, but once he was convicted booker said he should resign, and if not, he would lead the effort for menendez to be expelled. if and when he does decide to resign, that would leave the appointment of his seat up to the governor. >> what does it mean for the balance of power in the senate? >> it shouldn't impact it at
