and disavowed it for the 87,000th time. before we let you go, joe. how wad does it look for kamala that donald trump is attending this thing and she ain't? 20 seconds to you. >> it's huge, actually, again, she is not going to appear in front of a journalist in the next three and a half months she would have to defend, i don't know, that she once said that she does want to ban fracking, fossil fuels, offshore drilling. she wanted to ice. border wall construction. i could go down the line everything she wants to does president as eliminating private health insurance while giving health insurance to illegals. she doesn't want to answer questions. strength vs. weakness. trump looks strong harris pleading the fifth. >> todd: joe concha, thank you. "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ this is wednesday,

july 31st, 2024. welcome to "fox & friends." why dimension israel? a fox news alert. hamas confirmed political leader assassinated and now vowing revenge. the growing threat of wider war in the middle east harris tries to flip the script on border and more. >> i have prosecuted them in case after case and i won. donald trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border but he does not walk the walk. >> brian: plus, we have the numbers to prove otherwise. >> ainsley: plus, golden moments at the olympics. the golden girl, simone biles

leads team u.s.a. to a victory. the parents of the u.s. men's gymnastic pommel horse hero sweeping the internet is going to join us live from paris. >> steve: awesome. >> ainsley: "fox & friends" begins right now and remember mornings are better with friends. >> steve: all right. we start with a fox news alert. hamas has confirmed their top political leader, ishmael hen i can't. >> brian: hen yea a has been killed in a strike in iran. it marks the most serious escalation in the middle east since october 7th. and the increase suddenly is it could possibly be a wider war breaking out across the region. >> brian: meanwhile the strike in tehran that took out the hamas leader that comes hours after israel says it killed a senior hezbollah commanders in lebanon he was briefly in iran

for the swearing in of the new president revolutionary guard confirmed he and his body guard were killed after a targeted strike on the home he was staying on in iran. israel did not immediately comment, already a lot of questions surrounding this strike. >> can you confirm if israel is behind the strike that killed the senior hamas leader in tehran. >> we certainly have heard the reporting but i don't have any additional information. we're going to do everything we can to make sure that we keep things from turning into a

broader conflict in the region. >> >> 62-year-old haniyeh was vowing revenge as the country declared three days of mourning. three hours earlier another strike took place this one in beirut where israel targeted a senior commanders senior adviser to the commander of hezbollah iranian backed group. israel carried out the strike in retaliation for the rocket attack in golan heights that killed 12 people over the weekend. guys, the killing of two iranian back supported leaders in the middle east really triggering a lot of concern that this will turn into a broader conflict. just seeing some of the reaction pouring in this morning a new statement from iran saying that there will be a harsh and painful response. back to you. >> brian: this whole thing could explode. let's bring in brigade general rob spalding. general, he was the one doing the negotiation, we understand,

on hamas' behalf towards some hostage release or cease-fire, and they took him out. but there is no question this is a bad guy he was doing the negotiations but they weren't in good faith. we have been waiting to get hostages returned. there has been no progress. i think you got to blame this entire strategy around, you know the world. not just the middle east, oil pouring into china weapons from iran pouring into russia for the ukraine war. that's where they are getting all the money to support this effort. >> general, hezbollah is vowing a certain response without a doubt they say this is a reveng. are we on the brink of a fullout war? what do you expect and how is this going to effect our country?

poor strategy moves over and over again by this administration. you see these things escalating. it's really bad planning on behalf of the administration really two separate strikes one the hamas leader in tehran. later yesterday afternoon against hezbollah leader who is responsible in every certain way of marine bombing in the 1980s, two separate strikes against two separate organizations, both financed by iran israel is absolutely warranted in doing what they are doing. they are having to do this. go back to the abraham accords. the middle east was settled. it is a mess now, and it's getting worse. >> steve: so the hezbollah guy that they hit in one of the suburbs of beirut, is he responsible for that strike on saturday that killed the 12 kids. and that's obviously why israel hit that. and israel is saying, yeah, we hit the guy in beirut. they are not saying, however,

that they hit the guy at this point in tehran. so, general hitting missiles into the capital city of iran this could be bad, who knows what they're going to do. they're already saying we are going to exact some sort of revenge. unfortunately, though, it's pretty impotent. they don't have the real ability. you remember the missile strikes on israel. none of them really made it to their target. so i don't think they really have the means to militarily attack israel. they certainly don't have the means militarily attack the united states. you know one thing that they could do, if they smuggled in people across the southern border, they could, you know, have terrorists attack here at home. that would be one of the things i would be concerned about. and more so than i think having a military over israel.

>> brian: the crazy thing is, is that israel just sent a huge message to the world. we know exactly where you are. why know what you are up to. he was attending the inauguration of the new iranian president. they don't have a new government yet. they don't have a new defense minister yet. he shows up to celebrate. and he is taken out while he sleeps. that's a strong message from a democracy in the middle east that just wants to live in peace. >> it really is and, if you remember, the meeting that netanyahu had with kamala harris, i mean, he was pretty strident in saying that he is going to defend their country. and, you know, it seems like that we should be the same way. >> brian: we're not. >> ainsley: where do these leaders snrif is it qatar or qatar however you mow nouns it. does he live there and he happened to be attending this inauguration in tehran? >> and that's another thing. why haven't we interceded we

have a relationship with qatar. the fact that they are staying there. they are living in luxury while their proxies attack israel from gaza it's a shame the entire thing. >> steve: one of the planners of the october 7th attack he is living in a tunnel. >> brian: sinwar. >> he knows israel is track him down. can you run but not hide. >> brian: 8,000 fighters at least still left. how could you possibly look for israel to fallout? be right back there in three months if they can't finish the job now. how damaging will harris' statements where there seems to be a divide between israel and who could be the next president? that evidently was the message sent that could have, like, thwarted any hope of any legitimate hostage deal. correct? >> absolutely. and think of it from the perspective ever israel. where do they go?

i mean, obviously, the chingsz are supporting hamas. the iranians are supporting hamas. the russians are supporting hamas. and it appears now america is supporting hamas. so, i mean, they are isolated in a very dangerous region. >> steve: indeed. >> ainsley: general, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> brian: we will see where we go from here. speaking of kamala harris. >> steve: speaking of kamala harris. this is a crazy story. so, apparently, the kamala harris campaign is anonymously leaking stuff to the "new york times." remember, we have been talking about how when she was running for president in 2019, 2020, she said some crazy stuff. it's all on tape. now what they are doing is suggesting, you know what? >> brian: don't believe me. >> steve: she is not actually for that stuff anymore. >> ainsley: she is a different presidential candidate this time around. >> steve: harris now supports fracking. she used to be against it. >> brian: fantastic.

>> steve: she wants to increase funding for the border which she didn't used to. >> brian: slow down. i'm writing this down. >> steve: it's easy. whatever she said before it's opposite. she does not want to require people to sell their assault weapons back to the government. and she no longer assaults a single pair health insurance program. it's interesting. because, yesterday, we showed you. >> brian: does she want to run on trump's ticket? >> steve: listen, it's completely different, or is it. her policy is completely different. yesterday we showed you a snippet of an ad that the trump campaign dropped. and it's running in all the battleground states. i believe they are spending $12 million. it's very effective and it ties kamala harris to the biden border problem. however, if you listen to her yesterday, in atlanta, you know all that stuff going on down on our southern border? not their problem. it's his, trump's. watch. >> so i was the attorney general of a border state in that job i

walked underground tunnels between the united states and mexico on that border with law enforcement officers i went after transnational gangs. drug cartels and human traffickers that came into our country illegally. i prosecuted them in case after case and i won. [cheers] donald trump -- donald trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border. but he does not walk the walk. or as my friend quay vo would say he does not walk it like he talks it. when i am president, i will work to actually solve the problem look at her record, more than

800 apprehended or encountered walking across our border. those are the ones we know of, more than 8 million. under trump 2.4. $6 million difference i mean 6 million person difference. >> brian: forget about the got-aways going insane. also, the reason why a lot of the reason why the border numbers are down now because you can now go on the app. you show up at the airport and can you float into minor smaller airports across the country without being counted as a border crosser you are crossing the border. little to elizabeth warren she wants to make you a citizen. the game has been unveiled. there should oob laugh track on some of these statements but maybe the crowd was too loud after the aftermath of the x rated rapper that preceded her speech. here is the trump ad slamming harris on the border. they focused on her record. listen. >> this is america's border czar and she has failed us. under harris, over 10 million

illegally here. a quarter of a million americans dead from fentanyl. >> ainsley: show her dancing. meanwhile all these people are coming across our border. 250,000 americans that died because of the fentanyl that's pouring across the border. we have interviewed countless parents who have said if their child would still be alive if it weren't for the fentanyl coming across our border. >> brian: pete buttigieg over the weekend for the most part illegal immigrants commit lower rate of crime than average americans. okay. fine. now she says the problem trump is all talk in the problem is he has a four year track record. is he no longer coming off hosting the apprentice with plans. he wants to say look at my four years. there has not been a poll where this administration is within 15 points of -- in terms of approval on their immigration policy. if she really plans on remaking her image as a border enforcer, she has to hope the entire country runs out of ginkgo buy

low ba losing all short-term and long-term memory. what has she been doing the last four years. let's try this candidate. that is the most audacious speech yesterday you could possibly imagine. so, to bring it full circle, as we started this segment, there are these people who are leaking stuff to the "new york times." she has changed all of her positions on these complicated things that are going to impact border states. and swing states. and battleground states. and why is it? because she knows she is vulnerable to it. and that's why trump is running that ad right now. but, the problem is there is all that tape of when she was running in 2018 and 2019. >> brian: sit down and say i flipped? is she going to say i changed? the more i think about it i was wrong and naive or going to think we are not going to question her on it at all and she is going to skid to the november victory? >> steve: we don't have to question we have got actually

some of the video roll that way back machine. >> no question we got to critically re-examine ice and its role. i'm opposed to any policy that would deny, in our country, any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period. >> raise your hand if you think it should be a civil offense rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation? can we keep the hands up so we can see them? >> well, we are going to the border. we have to deal with what is happening at the border. there is no question about that. >> brian: you haven't been to the border. that's the big thing. he goes you would think about abolishing ice, to add more cops is wrong-headed thinking. she entered the idea of felons voting and she supported a mandatory buy back program. that's called i'm coming to take your guns and i will give you $100. >> ainsley: mandatory. she also said if you walk across the border we are not going to

criminalize you. >> brian: flip-flopping on all these ideas is such a good idea. why didn't she have these ideas to begin with. they happen to be all republican ideas. >> steve: so here's the thing. we have seen a million politicians during their careers change their position; however. >> brian: all of them? change all their positions? >> steve: no, no. what i was going to say we have seen politicians change their positions over time. i have evolved in my thinking. never seen a politician change so many positions essentially on one piece of paper. >> brian: to somebody else. >> ainsley: the difference in election. we have their records. not only their records. we have their experience from when they were in office. she has been part of the biden team for the last three and a half years. we know what their record is then we saw trump four years ago when he was president. we know what his record is he was trying to build the wall. they immediately stopped building the wall on day one. she was appointed to have a big position, call it the border czar or whatever you want to

call it. she went down to the border once. she has ignored this issue. fentanyl has gone. in and apprehensions or encounters on our border are up 6 million under their administration. so, all you have to do is look at their record. >> steve: meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about the dnc. the dnc tomorrow is going to start a virtual roll call where essentially it's the formal nomination of kamala harris. yesterday, it became very clear and apparently she is going to name her vice president by tuesday at the absolute latest. because they are going to have kind of a four or five state battleground tour. she is going to be standing right next to whoever that person is here she is yesterday being asked about who is that other person going to be? >> madam vice president, have you chosen your vp yet? have you chosen yet? >> ainsley: throw out a name. >> brian: that's when they usually announce it

traditionally going up the stairs miles away. a perfect question. should have turned around and said governor shapiro. got to run. we will see. looks like he is the frontrunner. first stop is philadelphia be, it looks like. might do it before august 7th. >> ainsley: they want to get on the ballot. in order to get on the ballot some states ohio is the first one you have to announce by august 7th in order to get on their ballot. next week philadelphia, wisconsin, detroit, north carolina, georgia, phoenix and vegas with her vp. >> steve: campaign says don't read too much into it just because josh shapiro was raised in philadelphia and we are starting in philadelphia that it's going to be josh shapiro. remember, it's not too far from rehoboth beach to philadelphia. there is a possibility this could be some sort of a joint passing of the torch with joe biden. and whenever joe biden does having something, it's always in philly. >> brian: do you realize his schedule is totally open?

do we even have a president? he has nothing on his schedule over the next three days. he shows up at the lbj library and disappears again. we have a crisis in the middle east. is he even capable of running this country? you have got a vice president pretending it be the president. and a president who is not the president. and at current candidate pretending as if she has the policies of the former president donald trump. if you are confused, hold on tight. because nate silver also weighed in and used his complicated map to talk about the odds of who would emerge victorious in november and so far electorally. the model looks strongly for donald trump. >> ainsley: very strongly. 61.3%. compared to her 38.1%. is he going to be in harrisburg, pennsylvania for a rally today. and j.d. vance in california for a rally and arizona for a valley. and kamala harris will be in houston, texas, meeting with the sigma gamma row sorority.

>> steve: nate silva one of the people we reported and reported one of the early people said joe biden has got to drop out because he is not all there. what he says is the democrat side obviously has gotten a jolt of excitement. we saw that with the big rally yesterday down in atlanta. so, they are tightening. and right now -- that particular number, donald trump is down about four and a half. but he is still predicting that donald trump will win the electoral college vote; however, when it comes to the popular vote, he still suggesting, according to his calculations with 40,000 different variables that kamala harris will win once again. but then again, have you got to go back to george w. bush last time a republican won the popular vote. >> ainsley: she had that event yesterday in atlanta. everyone is saying that they thought they were showing up for a concert. like 10,000 people in the arena. they wanted to see the rapper. but apparently when she is sang one song and they were saying it was x rated.

kamala gets up and people started leaving because they realized it wasn't a concert. >> brian: they both wore pantsuits. that's interesting. >> ainsley: i'm all in favor of having a female president. how cool would that be? you just want the right one. >> steve: historic. >> ainsley: you need look at their records. >> brian: i just want the best person. >> ainsley: shouldn't be about sex or race or anything should be the best person. >> steve: i just want a free concert and we have them every friday on "fox & friends." >> ainsley: have to wait where to two more days. growing calls for accountability after trump's assassination attempt. one former agent will react next. >> the president was shot. >> sir, this could have been our texas school book depository. i have lost sleep over that for the last 17 days. >> then fire somebody. it's good to get some fresh air. fresh air? hi guys! bill, you look great!

again on this wednesday from butler pennsylvania. cb? >> hi, good morning, steve. testimony from secret service acting director ronald rowe makes it even more apparent there were communication failures long before the july 13th rally. roew testified that guard the roof that gunman crooks fired from. >> the golden arrow indicates where the shooter fired from. looking left, why was the assailant not seen? when we were told that building was going to be covered. >> rowe later admitted that his agency made a mistake assuming there would be eyes from local police guarding the roof of the agr building again where gunman

thomas matthew crooks got off 8 shots with a clear view of about 150 yards to the rally stage where former president donald trump was speaking. rowe's testimony left a blistering reaction to local officers who were there that day. commander patrick young tells me acting director rowe is wrong did the assignment and vantage his snipers had. >> window maybe right here. >> exactly. >> looking out to the roof. >> that's not where we were assigned. we were assigned over here in those first two windows. >> so he is wrong about the assignment then? >> absolutely. >> local officials who helped coordinate the sniper teams there that day tell me had the secret service told them to be positioned on the roof, or directly guard it, they would have done it. rowe said in his testimony moving forward, the secret service needs to be direct and clear with its law enforcement

partners. this as real clear politics says it's obtained a letter sent by a secret service counter to the entirety of the agency wants uniform division. the outlet says this letter -- in this letter the counter sniper says there is a possibility for another assassination attempt because he feels that rank and file have been failed. steve? >> steve: all right. cb cotton live from butler. thank you very much. let's bring in former secret service agent richard stair poly. he joins us now. richard, good morning to you. >> good morning, sir. >> steve: acting boss was babled and senators were yelling at him and he was yelling back. >> yeah, weighs baffled all right if knock else he proved he could read statement that was prepared for him. you know, the public, the rank and file, the entire world was watching that testimony, they expect the secret service director to answer questions directly and bluntly and pointedly. not to lose their composure and

certainly not to get argumentative with congressman and senators who are approving your budget that's part of the problem. >> politics got a copy of a memo circulating with a lot of secret service people. sounds like from a current counter sniper inside the organization. and they say there is going -- they predict there is going to be another assassination attempt, given the fact that now everybody knows that there are lapses in security. they say it could happen before september. i know you have seen that particular memo. you think you know who it is from. >> yep. >> socially what they are calling for clean house at the top of the secret service. >> well, and that's exactly right. i have read that memo or released the memo that was published throughout the press yesterday and they are absolutely right. the secret service needs a house cleaning. the director of the secret service did not put on anywhere near the performance that she should have two weeks ago. and she passed the baton to

these folks to include the acting director and the bench that is sitting behind them. these are all legacy leaders. they all have to go. they are the ones that are more culpable and responsible for setting up the tone and the attitudes which led to what happened operationally three weeks ago. not only do they need to get rid of the folks on the ground. that were directly responsible for what happened here three weeks ago. but the leadership has to go as well. >> steve: right now there is so much finger pointing going on as well. not only inside the secret service but also the secret service, the local cops, the state cops. it's just a mess. richard, thank you very much for joining us live today. >> well, thank you very much. steve. >> steve: all right. good luck to you. all right. 29 minutes before the top of the hour. carley has got other news. >> carley: we are now learning the suspect charged in a fatal carjacking of a 54-year-old woman in virginia was in the united states illegally. ice confirms jose aguilar martinez is a migrant from el salvador who entered into the u.s. as a got away.

concrete that we dry on every day. we need try draw lick fracking in order to produce natural gas. you have to understand there are three mega national guard fields in the world. one n qatar and two are in west virginia, ohio, and pennsylvania. they would be the third most natural gas producing country in the world if they were their own country. and it's green save we are showing their record it's right up there on the screen. the first day january 20th, 2021 under biden and harris. 60 day suspension of new drilling permits that same day revoked keystone pipeline. we remember that well. then a few days later. moratorium on all new oil and gas leases and then about two years later their epa restricted emissions from oil and gas in the industry. have you lived through both administrations. trump and the biden-harris

administration which was better for our country and your state. >> absolutely trump. so, when trump was in office. we quadrupled our l and g exports just by the time he was there. we were well on our way to being energy independent and since biden has been in office. our oil inflation has skyrocketed 52%. our electricity inflation has increased 29 pours. our national guard 27%. a price of gallon of oil has increased by 46%. and this is crushing every day americans. >> ainsley: sarah, thank you so much. don't forget she said there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. there's no question she said. that's where when she was running for president last time. thank you so much, sarah. >> thank you. >> ainsley: you're welcome. more "fox & friends" moments away ♪ don't know much about history

>> steve: i don't know why we cut that part out. that was the best part. >> brian: hasty decision of mine at the last minute. >> steve: why are you doing is it. >> brian: next hour i will correct this. you know last minute we wanted to add debate talk. debate probably september. donald trump came out and said i want this before early voting. >> steve: listen. is he great at debates. he should embrace that. i will bet you a dollar he does it. stay tuned. >> brian: we will find out what she believes at that time as opposed to what he shoe said in the past. >> steve: it will be different. >> brian: the parents of the pommel horse hero join us live next.
