>> we all saw that assassination attempt on donald trump at a rally outside last week. now, he, along with his running mate, j.d. vance will be holding their first joint rally as the public ticket at a michigan arena, they're doing this one inside. what safety officials are taking today, with alexis mcadams. >> hi, jackie, we went around in the last 20 minutes and talking to people who were standing outside of the rally in grand rapids, michigan. they're looking forward to hearing from the former president and his running mate j.d. vance in this battle ground state, but there will be a lot of questions surrounding what happened at that rally in butler, pennsylvania surrounding security concerns. they feel safe going into the

rally, but they hope to hear about what he had to say about the bullet whizzing around his ear. >> i know the man will be on his shoulder, corey comperatore, and nobody in the united states should be afraid to attend a peaceful political rally and lose their life. >> take a look here in grand rapids, michigan, you can see the long lines wrapped around the arena. people are waiting to see the president and his former running mate to get on the stage and they're excited. they didn't think about safety going into the rally, they say it's more about standing with the country and the american people and they want to hear his policies and path back to the white house and hoping he focuses on unity and stays away from the attacks on the democrats which they say he doesn't need to do. and j.d. vance, he's a working class guy, something he talked about. he grew up in a poor family and

his mom overcame addiction, when he lived with his grandma in appalachia. and michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, ohio, michigan is very important as trump narrowly won in 2016, but, hey, biden flipped it in 2020. at the rnc, the former president focusing in on the future, watch. >> you've been told to lower your expectations and to accept less for your families. i am here tonight with the opposite message. your expectations are not big enough, they're not big enough. it's time to start expecting and demanding the best leadership in the world. >> we were at that rally in butler, pennsylvania, jackie, 100 feet away from the former president when the gunshots rang out. this will be different as this is an inside rally and the safety and security top of mind for local, state, and federal officials, jackie. jackie: yeah, big crowds out

there. alexis, amazing reporting that you did last week in a really difficult situation, thank you so much. all right, let's get straight to butler, pennsylvania because the ongoing investigation there raising even more questions this morning, as to why the gunman was not stopped ahead of time. cb cotton is on the ground with the latest for us. cb. >> good afternoon, jackie. one federal law enforcement source tells fox, the strongest working theory investigators have right now, the gunman, thomas crooks hid his father's ar-15 style rifle by an ac unit that he used to climb to the top of the roof. this latest theory comes after lawmakers were briefed by the fbi this week that crooks was identified as a suspicious person by law enforcement at least an hour before the shooting. several lawmakers say that detail alone is enough for them to demand answers as to why former president donald trump was even allowed to step on

stage. based on federal law enforcement officials, these were the officers present at last saturday's rally. 22 secret service agents, to include secret service snipers. 16hsi agents, 30 to 40 pennsylvania state police troopers. seven butler township police officers, we're told those officers were assigned to traffic detail, and one butler township emergency services unit sniper team. the butler county district attorney told me earlier this week a member of the local sniper team took a shot at the would-be assassin, 20-year-old thomas crooks, but missed and the secret service says one of its snipers shot and killed the gunman and we know from a source familiar with the investigation that the sniper could only see crooks' gun scope, part of his eye and forehead and we're told the brooks' lip was blocking the few. the source describing the shot to fox news as quote, one in a

million. >> there should be multiple snipers on every roof and all throughout that terrain. they shouldn't be in a position where they have to be at that perfect. if they're not able to take that one in a million shot and the details will come out on that later. >> crooks reportedly flew a drone over the rally site just hours before he opened fire. jackie. jackie: cb cotton, thank you for the updates. let's get to the new details because they're raising more questions for my next guest who is on the ground at butler, for us. fox news contributor and inspector paul morrow. can you make sense of the new details and reports emerging, essentially the shooter had plenty of time to potentially hide the gun, fly a drone over the space to see what was going on? our indication is that secret

service knew about him roughly 20 minutes at least before donald trump took the stage. what happened here? >> so, jackie, when you're left with one of two possibilities here. either this event was so catastrophic underresourced that it had no hope of ever being fully secure or it was resourced enough and it was just badly organized or i guess a combination of the two, which seems to be emerging. first of all, if we posit that he had the gun on the roof and he quote, unquote, retrieved it, which is the term that used, that means he accessed the roof almost by definition twice. that means at least two times he shimmied up the side of the roof at an event with the former president of the united states in full view of all kind of people there and i have to speak up for the fact that, at the end of the day, despite all of these resources, it was the butler township police who were

directing traffic who ultimately ended up forcing his hand. they weren't at the event. they were on an egress road. they fled into-- they ran into the event when they got some radio communications. one of them, who was boosted up over the lip of the roof, acquired him, that's when crooks turned the ar-15 on him and that's when he dropped to the ground and immediately got on the radio and thinking here on the ground among the people i talked to, the town supervisors and people on the street is that one of theirs, very well may have saved the day by forcing the shooter's hand before he was really comfortable and ready to do so. jackie: kimberly cheatle, secret service director, has been pretty quiet. she's obviously going to face the house oversight committee on monday on capitol hill, but the american people would love to hear from her especially as the story is developing and new details emerged. we've heard nothing and trump has another rally in michigan today. >> yeah, it doesn't exactly make you feel very secure.

you know, let's review the facts here. in the middle of the rnc, which is the national security event, only happens every four years and few national security events every year, less than half a dozen. she was in aspen, colorado to attend a conference and give a speech on wednesday in the middle of the rnc week. for them, this is kind of the super bowl and she's mia. then, the night of the event, there was no secret service presence at the press conference that they did give and we've heard nothing directly from her or mayorkas directly to the american people since. so you can't help, but feel, wow, there are things here they don't want out. we can't get the operational plan which we were promised at one point from the locals here. this is what we got. all of a sudden yesterday mid day we were told you're not getting anything. jackie: can i talk a little using your expertise and the background about the rally in

michigan today. obviously, indoors common sense would tell you it's a little easier to secure. what do you think they're going to do to ensure that this goes off without a hitch. it not just about today, it's about every day as we move forward. >> well, as we know, president biden has released more resources because that would be an even worse nightmare if this were to occur again for him. they're going to be heavily wanding and using mag nometers. indoors is easier to secure, funnels to go through. i wouldn't be supposed patdowns, and dogs. there were no dogs in butler, according to the reporting crooks handled explosives, and the dogs might have been onto that. and i suspect going forward you'll see those kinds of deployments, including, by the way, jackie, drones. normally former potus and

presidents of the united states, don't get an aerial package as it's called. and the funnel wide, drones are very cheap. but i think you'll see that change as well. jackie: do you think overall, quick, paul, that these rallies will be held inside from now on? is it just an easier way to do it? is that the end of the outside gatherings? >> well, look, from a law enforcement perspective i would say yes. but donald trump, you know, he has shown as he said fight. i don't think he wants to change his play book. i don't know if this was originally scheduled to be inside, but knowing donald trump, i have a feeling that, yeah, he might insist on some more security, but i don't see him changing his game plan very much, that's from my perspective. law enforcement, sure, you'd rather have them inside. jackie: i hear you on that. thank you for being here. >> of course. jackie: to president biden still riding it out despite more democrats suggesting he pack it in. forget the forget the top of

the ticket. are they worried about the senate? we deliver them this way. this way uses technology and goes the extra mile to do things the right way. the delivering promises on time, every time, way. ♪ you've got some winning genes. ♪ and for a limited time, ancestrydna can show you how your genes stack up against world-class athletes. ♪ find out which athletic traits you inherited. but hurry, the clock is ticking.

>> the white house saying president biden is pushing ahead with events next week after he hunkers down in rehoboth beach, delaware. he's off the trail with covid right now and reportedly stewing over this pressure campaign being placed upon him. kevin cork is in rehoboth beach, delaware with the latest. >> good to be with you, jackie. it's either joe must go or not unanimous, but unified. those are the narratives playing out this weekend as the president continues to battle covid and calls for him, as you point out, to get out of the race altogether. in fact, nearly three dozen democrats right now are saying, joe must go. well, we'll have to see how that plays out, won't we? by the way, it's a conversation

they need to have asap. you know that, i know that. in fact, virginia's jerry connolly reportedly telling the new york times we have to cauterize this wound right now and the sooner we can do it, the better. that's the sentiment, by the way, shared by many of the party's power brokers on capitol hill. >> 85% of the people have contacted me are all in for the president and so, i don't believe that we are unanimous in our support for the the president, but we're certainly unified in that support. >> this, as the former speaker of the house nancy pelosi and others are amenable to an open convention process should the 81-year-old step aside. >> there's always some benefit if we decide that it should be an open process and some sort of abbreviated primary with a

couple of candidates, town halls, debates, going into the convention. that certainly would give us some momentum. >> now, as you pointed out at the top of the segment, the president is really hoping to push back and again, reassure donors and others by making it back into the campaign trail, perhaps as soon as this week, he'd like to make his way to georgia and texas, of course, covid notwithstanding, jackie. jackie: and in the meantime, sherrod brown joining the list last night. he's in a tight race. is this becoming a bigger issue for the democrats as they fight to keep control of the senate? with me now, democrat strategist, laura fink. it's great to have you on the program. let's start here with joe biden who is recuperating from covid right now at the beach, but claims he will be back on the trail when he is recovered. based on what you know, based on the conversations people are having behind the scenes, do you believe that he believes that he's the best to win?

because ultimately when people don't like donald trump, they will vote for anybody on the democrat ticket. >> well, the democratic ticket is one that has to be strong to beat donald trump. i concede that. donald trump is not the strongest candidate and he looked a little weak at the rnc. and with voters, you need someone who prosecute the case and biden is behind, and he needs to expose the chinks in the armor of donald trump and right now able to do that. that's why you see breaking in the ranks which is unprecedented in democrats calling for him to stand down. jackie: do you think that donald trump looked weak or a few days off of the assassination attempt on his life he was with his family,

showing a human side with him, kids, grandkids and some people actually liked the donald trump that they saw on that stage. he was a little bit more muted than the person that we've seen in the past. but remember, that person didn't win the election in 2020. >> i think that's right, jackie. i think it's about who is persuaded by all of that and who is convinced by it and when i say weak, i say weak as a candidate not as a human being. there really were, this was a 90 minute rambling speech. he did talk about the assassination attempt and didn't reflect or show that human side that might be persuadable to voters. i think it resonated deeply with his base which he's always been able to connect with, but the rnc, by and large, had maga light and not a lot for swing voters. when you think of the focus groups, a lot of people didn't move into his camp.

they're wildly confident and overconfident and that's strategic advantage for democrats going forward. if they can resolve the chaos at the top of the ticket, they can this move forward and there are real opportunities to beat donald trump in the fall. jackie: look, i think you're right. i think overconfidence can be the kiss of death. this is an election that's going to come down to five swing states which were, you know, went one way or the other by razor tight margins, to be overconfident would certainly be a mistake. but we've been talking about other potential people who could step up to the plate if joe biden does indeed say, you know what, i'm going to sit this out. do you think a kamala harris could win against donald trump? . it's funny because we talk about politicians meeting the moment and being of the moment. i think as a prosecutor, what we need, kamala harris would fit the bill and be able to take that case. we see her in the senate being able to really focus on supreme court justices and prosecute

the case there. we see her on the stump in pennsylvania this week, showing her chops. she is uniquely qualified for the job that is in front of democrats between now and election day, which is to expose some of the things they didn't talk about at the rnc. they didn't talk about national abortion bans and the republican record on reproductive health and banning abortion across this country. they didn't talk about the fact that they wanted to cut social security and medicare, and the seniors that that would impact and they didn't talk about the tax cuts they wanted to give to big corporations right now we know are juicing inflation and the billionaires that are backing donald trump's campaign. so, it's up to kamala to bring up issues we're not talking about right now. because all we're talking about right now is president biden. jackie: i could go on and on with you, we're out of time. i appreciate you being here today. >> thank you, jackie. jackie: while more democrats looking to push biden out, he's

looking for changes to the supreme court. why now? what would it mean for us. the white house is condemning a strike in tel aviv as bengal benjamin netanyahu prepares to address congress. you can cuddle and brush that hair off. bounce, it's the sheet.

>> president biden is reportedly preparing to endorse major changes to the supreme court, including potential term limits and an ethics code. many see this as a play for the left. but what would it mean for the high court? let's ask jon yu and former law clerk to justice thomas. it's great to have you with us and after the immunity ruling from the supreme court, this is exactly the kind of conversation that comes next.

that that was damning for the democrats and they're going after the court. >> it would be sad if president biden were to end his decades of public service by adopting another banana republic tactic like this. it is not in the american tradition because you disagree with the supreme court to start monkeying around with who is on the court, the numbers of justices on the court, changing the configuration of the court, and it's not just it's going to set off tit-for-tat retal retaliation, but it's a threat to our liberties. the court is there to protect rights against the majority. if the court becomes afraid of being attacked this way every time it renders an unpopular decision then that last resort is going to be weakened and our constitutional rights are going to suffer. jackie: absolutely. it's unfortunate that this is the conversation coming out right now, but having said that, it's not one that we

haven't heard from the democrats before, wanting to potentially expand the supreme court and do all kind of things. if president biden were to drop out of the race, do you think this will be one of the last pushes that he tries to make to have a lasting impact? >> unfortunately, jackie, joe biden was the moderate in the democratic party. i believe every mom nominee for the 2020 democrats, opposed imposing term limits on them. it might get much worse if joe biden were to step out. but to suggest that joe biden is pandering to the left wing of the party so they won't oppose nomination. jackie: after donald trump went through the court system, they weaponized the justice department to go after this guy. the new york case was one

piece. the georgia case, falling apart. the documents case, toss that out. the january 6th case, that's all that's left. at this point with his legal battles, where does he stand at the moment? >> this pains me to call this a banana republic tactic, it was triggered by the biden administration's efforts to use the justice department to attack a current political rival and a past president. when the courts have tried to stop the biden administration in the immunity decision and judge cannon's decision just now in florida, the biden administration is now floating the idea of attacking the court. this is not a balanced government with separation of powers, this is an effort to bend all the institutions, if not break them, in pursuit of their overriding political goal, which is to stop donald trump, they could do that at the ballot box. they don't need to pull down our institutions and rules if they want to oppose donald trump. jackie: it's ironic to me, they go after donald trump and he

says he's going to be a dictator on day one and take away your rights and the fear mongering that he is going to have such an impact, a threat to democracy on this country. and yet, when they talk about going after the supreme court and changing the fundamental way that the court works and the impact that it would have with the other branches, they would be the ones having, you know, having that kind of negative impact on democracy, but ultimately, i want to ask you this, john, because president biden's son hunter is looking to have his tax and gun cases also tossed and cited the decision in florida to toss trump's classified documents case. the senate judiciary committee member hawley weighed in with neil on this issue. >> it's absurd. absolutely absurd. this guy has gotten more sweetheart deals than anybody in america. if he were not joe biden's son, he would be in prison. this doj tried to slip in a

plea agreement, tried to slide it past the court to absolve him of criminal wrongdoing, because the judge asked questions in open court did they go to court. it's unbelievable. he's hoping and praying that his father could be president so he could be pardoned. this guy is a criminal. >> when you read the supreme court court closely, it doesn't give hunter biden any way out. i agree with the senator that he would normally be in jail, but for his father and the justice department. if you're the president and acting in your official capacity as president. hunter biden is not the president. all the things he's accused of doing, doesn't involve official presidential activity, he doesn't get any immunity. it's a sign of how desperate hunter biden it, considering

packing the court, just like going after trump with law fare is a sign of desperation. jackie: john, we appreciate your insight this morning. thank you for being here. >> thanks, great to be with you. jackie: some sad news to share with you this morning. texas democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee has passed after a battle with pancreatic cancer. she served in the house of representatives since 1995. president biden releasing a statement saying in part, quote, sheila jackson lee is part of a long line of patriots who delivered the promise of america to all americans. jill and i send our love and condolences to her family, her constituents and beloved colleagues of the congressional black caucus. texas republican governor greg abbott posting, she was a proud texan and advocate for the people of houston. her legacy of public service and dedication to texas will live on. and speaker of the house republican, mike johnson

releasing this statement. our prayers are with the family of congresswoman sheila jackson lee. during her nearly 30 years of service in the house, sheila was a fierce advocate for the houston community and lonestar state, will undoubtedly miss her. her larger than life personality and devotion to her constituents. sheila jackson lee was 74. we'll have more after this. here's why you should switch fo to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine, like google, but it's r and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browsel but it blocks cookies and creepy ads that follow youa and other companies. and there's no catch. it's fre. we make money from ads, but they don't follow you aroud join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today.

>> another democrat has just called for joe biden to bow out. this is bringing the total number now to 35. california congressman released a statement saying that biden should step aside in favor of vice-president kamala harris. more on that just a moment, but we've got to talk about elon musk announcing he's moving x and spacex headquarters out of california, moving over to texas. what prompted that? kelly o'grady has got the details. >> well, it's good to see you, jackie. that's right, elon musk is getting out of california, moving spacex and the headquarters of social platform x to texas. and musk moved tesla's headquarters to texas in 2021 and this stems from new california legislation. governor gavin newsom signed a first in the nation law, and on

the school note face parents if their children change their pro pronouns. and the billionaire affirmed he's going to move x to austin explaining he was tired of dodging drug addicts just to get in the building. newsom shared a screen shot of a post in 2022, former president trump heavily criticized musk and said you've bent the knee. and x marks the spot, texas is the headquarter for business. and spoke with area of talent in the area. >> i want to keep everybody employed for the life of the company is not always realistic, when they leave these large organizations, it's

an opportunity for us for the amazing talent, well-trained and fully capable to help us get to the next level. speaking of talent. some spacex rivals are jumping on this and making public appeals to employees that don't want to make the move, but just think about what this means for california as a whole? less tax revenue to shore up that budget deficit if people do leave. back to you. jackie: it sure does. kelly o'grady. thank you for that. as elon musk makes his big move, he's making a push behind donald trump and more business leaders are following along as well. it's a different story for president biden because we're seeing big money donors start to worry and one of his advisors is warning him that donor cash is drying up. could money be the factor that pushes joe to go? joining me now g.o.p. pollster lee carter, great to have you ton the program, lee. now we've got 35 democrats, the california congressman the

latest one to join, and they're urging joe biden to exit. is it going to be about money? because i was amazed the way business leaders have come out to support donald trump. that's where the cash is right now. what do you think? >> i think it's in part money. i think the money is following a larger trend, which is the polls. the polls are saying bad things about the democrats and it's not just about their ability to win the presidency. it's about the american's ability to trust the party. there was polling leaked from the dnc that suggests that folks that supported joe biden in the last election believe that democrats have been lying to them about joe biden's mental fitness, 52% of swing voters, 52% of swing voters believe that the democrats have been lying to them. there's a complete lack of trust. so what does this mean? it means less likely to vote for the democratic ticket at the top. down ballot initiatives could really, really be suffering.

you're going to have a much more difficult time winning anything, it's not just about the top of the ticket and the other problem, you look at the polls right now and there's not another candidate who can do better than joe biden, so it's a big risk for some of these people have promise for the future. gavin newsom has promise for the future. whitmer has promise for the future. we have no idea, they haven't been out there and to perform. and 2016 performed well before we start today see him on the campaign trail. as soon as he started campaigning he dropped like a lead balloon. and it's a big risk. what happens now? >> you touched on the swing states when you were talking about democrats who feel they've been lied to as a result of what joe biden has been going through and his cognitive abilities. i want to ask you more about that, lee, ultimately those are the states that matter. it's the undecided voters or some of the independents or even some of the more moderate democrats who may be feeling

that and ultimately end up switching their votes. how do we get a pulse on how those people feel after the rnc, the messaging that they saw, and also, after the attempted assassination on trump and his life. and we saw a different trump this week and a lot of people enjoyed. >> a lot of folks said they saw a very different donald trump. the people who say we didn't see a different donald trump already didn't like him. a lot of people who i have been talking to, did their research, he was more vulnerable, authentic and saw him with his granddaughter on his lap and added up to a much different image, a softer side of donald trump and i expect to see an impact on that in the polls. and the impact of the assassination we're starting to see in the polls and having a favorable effect on donald trump because of the way he handled it. even people who don't support him respect and say, wow,

that's a tough leader ready to fight for us. you look at the recent polls in the swing states, ahead in every single swing state and he's also ahead in new hampshire, minnesota, maine, all states that joe biden carried. this is a very, very different thing. you even look at new jersey polling right now, they're within the margin of error, which is unbelievable. jackie: yeah. >> so, i expect to see more of the polls shifting towards donald trump and the democratic party really has to get themselves together and what they're going to do. figure it out fast. only a few weeks until their convention, the more decided they are, the worse it's going to be come november. jackie: being divided is not good for anybody, whether it's the party or the country and president trump spoke to that i'm going to be a president for everybody not just half of you. it was ironic because it was joe biden who said it was going to unite the country and more polarized than ever. but the ap is reporting that david letterman is going to head a biden fundraiser july

29th and biden is going to be there, we'll see about that. vice-president harris getting ready to take off for massachusetts, that's today, a big fundraiser there. the new york post reporting the soldout event is making in $2 million. it also comes after she joined a phone call with some major donors yesterday. lee, you've got the donors out there signaling in some ways who they want at the top of the ticket and we do know that harris would get the purse if biden dropped out. >> now, i think there's a huge number of democrats and supporters that will support anyone at the top of the ticket. that's why a lot of people talking about how is it possible that you know, 80-something percent of americans are concerned about joe biden's mental fitness and we're in a race that's within the single digits nationwide, how is that possible? and i think there are people i'm supporting democrats no matter what. they're concerned about the supreme court and certain issues and they've bought into the narrative that donald trump

is a threat to democracy and they're going to do it at all costs. those are the people you're going after. going after it in massachusetts, not after the swing states or the moderate, they're going after the people that would support them no matter what and they're reaching out so they'll stay the course. jackie: that makes a lot of sense. lee, great to see you on a saturday morning. jacqui: great to see you. jackie: back to michigan where the secret service is taking extra precautions tonight and more on what they're doing. and plus, the houthi is claiming responsibility for a deadly drone strike in tel aviv, all as president benjamin netanyahu prepares to address congress next week. details ahead. for your family? newday usa can help. veterans have earned a lot of va benefits with their service, but the va home loan benefit is a big one. by using your benefit at newday you can borrow up to 100%

>> yemen backed houthi rebels claiming responsibility for a deadly drone attack in tel aviv on thursday.

this is coming as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is set to address a session of congress next week. stephanie bennett with the latest for us. >> that strike was near the u.s. embassy in central tel aviv. taking a look at the latest statistics, one person was killed and multiple others were injured. the iranian-made drone struck by houthi rebels just after 3:00 in the morning. a lot of people were still sleeping when this struck and the intense impact could be felt in nearby cities. an israeli spokesman described the strike as a terror attack that was targeted to kill severalions. the houthi rebels have repeatedly launched drones and missiles to israel they say in solidarity of hamas and the houthis claim the latest can by

pass the israel defense systems. the israeli military is investigating what went wrong and the drone was detected by defenses, but an error occurred and there was no interception. another israeli officials blamed human error. benjamin netanyahu is expected to travel to washington d.c. and address a joint session of congress on wednesday. critics say that netanyahu is prioritizing the military operation against hamas in the gaza strip over an internationally backed deal that president biden is promoting. president biden is expected to meet with the israeli prime minister, but the white house did caution that his health, while he's dealing with covid, will take precedence. jackie: stephanie, thank you so much for that. coming up, donald trump headed indoors for his first rally with running mate j.d. vance one week after the attempt on his life. what officials are doing right now to keep that venue safe. we'll be right back.

>> back to michigan where protecting the former president and rally goers is top of mind at today's event. secret service ramping up security as the investigation of the assassination attempt intensifies. former fbi special agent and fox news contributor, nicole parker, what agents are likely doing now to prepare for this event tonight at 5:00 in michigan. nicole, it's great to have you and in some ways, it seems an indoor event might be easier or not present the same challenges as a outdoor event. but that doesn't mean that it's completely a slam-dunk. how soon in advance did they have to start to sweep this venue to make sure it's completely safe before they start to let people in?

>> jackie, those are extremely important points you're making, first of all, it's an indoor event, that does make it a little more manageable, but every single venue always has potential vulnerabilities and treated with the highest level of-- there's intricate details that cannot go unnoticed so for this event, because it's indoors, i understand that there has been an event at this venue in the past in 2019, local, state, law enforcement have worked with this event on the past and today. secret service are the lead agencies, they always will be lead agency and what happened last saturday, i thought the locals were doing, i thought you were doing it. that's unacceptable and i do not forsee that that happening today. a sweep occurs within 12 hours of when the event is occurring, that venue is being swept up and down, upsidedown, inside out, there will be no stone unturned and i guarantee that, but that's how every single

event and every venue should be treated every single time. obviously, the secret service knows that all eyes are on this because of what occurred last week, but as a law enforcement officer, there's no room for error ever. sloppiness, complacency, that's not okay. every single detail must be attended to, president trump deserves that and americans deserves that. jackie: of course he does and the rally goers deserve it as well, nicole. i want to ask you about hiding things because of the report that the gunman in butler, pennsylvania might have been able to hide a weapon before the attack, flying a drone, surveying. how does the secret service sort of, in this 2.0, post assassination attempt that we live in, how do they make sure that these are safe weeks in advance? some of this planning and preparation could take some time by these individuals.

>> absolutely, we know that this event that occurred in butler, pennsylvania. that was first-- the public was notified about it july 3rd is when they were first made aware this rally was going to occur. this shooter that did this last weekend, didn't just wake up july 13th and say i'm going to do this. there was a lot of planning and preparation that went into it. sweeping a outdoor venue can be more difficult, but it has to be done. anything in the range of sight it must be swept. secret service are prepping weeks in advance. it's not occurring the day of, but i guarantee things are going down today flawlessly and my accolades to the law enforcement, it's a failure of upper management and a reminder, your job is owe important, no room for error. jackie: i've got seconds, but the direct of the secret service has been pretty silent

on this issue not talking, for example, how to protect this venue or ramping things up today. what would you have wanted to hear from her? >> well, obviously, law enforcement, a lot of information is protected because they don't want everyone to know about their methods, but in light of what occurred last week, the secret service director in my opinion needs to resign. she should have been out here, this is what happened, i own this these are the mistakes i made. a lack of communication and in my opinion to resign. jackie: she's going to be testifying on the hill. nicole, great to see you. we will have live coverage of donald trump's rally tonight 5 p.m. eastern time. also catch me monday, 1 p.m. eastern, the big money show on fox business. fox continues next.
