big weekend show begins with

fox news alert. former president trump holding a massive rally in atlanta, georgia right now. let's listen in. [chanting] [chanting] [chanting] >> we have two things we have to do. we have to vote and we have to make sure that we stop them from cheating because they cheat like dogs. [cheering] i don't know if you've heard but the georgia state election board is in a very positive way. a very positive thing, marjorie. they are on fire doing a great job. three members. janice johnson. [cheering] jeffries and janel king. three people. [cheering] pit bulls fighting for honesty,

transparency and victory. are they here? where are they? thank you. what a job. [cheering] thank you. wow. [cheering] we have a couple of other members that aren't so good. we have some that aren't so good but these three are really doing the job because they want to see -- i bet they will destroy our country. they just passed a rule for georgia elections requiring three people at each precinct independently count the total number of ballots before certification. [cheering] who could be against that? who could be against it? [cheering] thank you, janice very much. that's amazing. thank you all. those are great people. i'd say brave but to you it's like you have to do what you

have to do, it's not like a question of bravery. they said i was brave two weeks ago, i had to do what i had to do. his just we do the right thing. my courage was contagious. your courage is contagious, too. thank you. [cheering] [cheering] amazing. people want it. [cheering] that's what they want. thank you. [cheering] that's great. those three people -- let me give you the bad news. for whatever reason, brad poffenberger and brian kemp who

i got elected by way, if it wasn't for me, he would not be the governor, i think everybody knows that. a disloyal person, very disloyal but still doing everything possible plus attorney general would like to see him show up and do something. look at the love and adulation, this is like a poll, thousands of people, better than going out and paying half million dollars to have a poster go out and pull 212 people. look at the love they have for janice. that's what people want, they want honest elections, strong borders. [cheering] very simple. your government kemp doing everything possible to make 2024 difficult for republicans to win. what are they doing?

i don't. they got something in mind. kemp is very bad for the republican party. we have jones over here. all he wanted in the senate was to have a special resolution it was done, every senator quantity, every republican wanted it. where's senator beach? we can't figure out, forget him. a warrior. many others in this group at all they wanted -- we want to go over the election we want to look because there's too many things in the governor wouldn't sign in a new he would because i got him elected. he said the young guy over to his office, could you have them sign this? the kid came back and said sir, he won't sign up. of course he will.

of course he will. no, he wouldn't go back over and tell him it's from me. it's a good thing, not a bad thing. they want to look into possible election fraud, wouldn't you say so? is a good thing, right? he comes back and says he said it was for me, this was a few years later after i once election. don't forget i endorsement you had a good man, lieutenant governor who would win easily had dave endorsed man

many, i won in a landslide and said i can't be stacey abrams, she will be too tough and she still feels that. costly saying she won the election. she can say but i'm not allowed to. i'm not allowed to say it. michaela, i love you. i'm in love with michaela. please explain that to lamia. please explain that to our first lady. you are a special person that i endorsed them and said i can't be stacey abrams, he said that and his wife said it, too. i said well, you won the nomination so let's do big rallies. massive rallies, 55,052,000 and may even a third, i remember two months or rallies and they said you're going to win.

they said i don't think so, sir. i said you're going to win, i can tell by the people and i think 287 over the last 12 months, people respect my endorsement and i respect them and i love them so i have these big rallies and he won by like to present and his wife looked at me and said thank you, sir. we'll never be able to repay you for what you did. you got my husband the nomination and we beat somebody who's unbeatable. the hottest politician in the country at the time. democrat policy, i was pres president. [cheering] only kidding. i'm only kidding. maybe i'm not, actually. [laughter] she was like the hottest democrat politician in the

country and she was going wild. for years, she can even but i got him by doing rallies and they worked hard. he's the most disloyal guy i think i've ever seen. inc. of the wife. we can never repay you for what you've done, we could have never one and now she said two weeks ago i will not endorse because she hasn't earned -- i haven't earned her endorsement. i have nothing to do with her. somewhere he went back and numbers in georgia are average, crime numbers, economic numbers, all the universe very average. you can do a lot better do a lot better with the government. just so you understand. [cheering] but i don't want her endorsement for his endorsement, i just want them to do their job for geo georgia. he is the governor. support his republican party

because if he's not, if he doesn't have his republican party, i could tell you where he came from and it wasn't good. you have a great leader of the republican party, stand up, please. an unbelievable job and he has to work with the government that doesn't help him and raffensperger better make sure the boat is honest. in my opinion, they want us to lose. that is my opinion and we can't let that happen because if we lose georgia, we lose the whole thing and our country goes to hell because we can have her be president of the united states. she's grossly incompetent. we can't let that happen. they are the ones who got fani willis and her loverboy boyfriend just that. the governor -- know what? she's an embarrassment to the state of georgia.

the governor of georgia. many people, their lives -- forget about me. many people, i'm used to it. it's true. i'm used to fake crap that goes on with these politicians but many people, their lives have been destroyed because of fani willis. you have to pronounce it funny -- there should be a you if people -- her and her lover, loverboy. she hired him because of experience, paid him almost a million dollars a year for experience, he's got great experience. he never did a thing like this in his life. he knew nothing about it. the only thing he knew was something else, that's all he knew about. he didn't know a thing.

do you know him? have you met him? couple of times. oversee phone records made at 3:00 a.m. like every single night my phone call from her house? he said no, i don't know her well. this governor, i assume, he could bring it out because the state has become a laughi laughingstock. i won this day twice in my opinion. [cheering] for knows it and beach knows that and everybody knows it. could have ended the travesty with the phone call because i did nothing wrong and neither did all of those good people being persecuted. people in their 80s sign something, i guarantee if i took about resilience and said what

you think? their coming to indict you with the you say that. they can say it, stacey abrams can say it. she won the election, find but if we say we won the election, and we did, it's not fine. even though she called me up that night and conceded but hillary clinton is constantly complaining, nothing happened to her. we can't do it anymore, we have to get back to making america great again. we don't have time for this nonsense. [cheering] fani willis wanted to indict a certain u.s. senator who had nothing -- are they calling me? i want use his name because they haven't heard him but wanted to

indictment somebody along the way stopped her from doing it. she had many more people, almost everybody that came into the state for a visit but kemp doesn't want to ended because he's a bad guy, a disloyal guy and an average governor. brian kemp. bad guy but think of it, i got this guy, i think that's it. he doesn't get nominated and doesn't get elected. he had no chance of winning either one and all he had to do is sign something, with the senate like to look at election and integrity? this is an honest man. they were honest while looking at something very legitimate and this bad guy, i'm sorry, sir. can't do it. i called him and i said, they are looking at election and integrity, is there anything you can do?

i'm sorry, i can't get involved in that. i said but you don't understand, this is a good thing, not a bad thing. i'm sorry, sir. i can't get involved. i had you up to hear, brian. i had you up to here. a bad guy and he's not doing this country a good service. people are looking at georgia with fani willis and her lover and all of the other things saying what is going on in georgia? what the hell is going on? the radical left democrats rigged the presidential election in 2020 and we are not going to let them read the presidential election in 2024. [cheering] [cheering] every time the radical left democrats marxist, communist and fascist indictment, i consider it a great badge of honor. i do because i'm being indicted for you.

my father and mother are looking down, great people. they are saying, my son got indicted four times. i'll compose didn't get indicted for that. he would kill you if he didn't like the look. if you look at him slightly -- that's a nice shirt. scarface, al capone, the most evil man, he didn't get indicted like trump. i got indicted, for what? protesting an election that was raped? this guy didn't get indicted. my father would say capone didn't get indicted, he killed hundreds of people. you stand up with the maga black police. look at these two guys. who's going to mess with them next maga black. i love them. i like them better than you, bruce. [laughter] those are two cookies but if

capone didn't like you because you insulted him slightly at dinner, that was the end of you. he didn't get likely. how crazy is the world? thank you for being here, good looking guys, better looking than bruce. i'll tell you that. stand up. never forget. [cheering] never forget our enemies wanting to take away my freedom because i will never let them take away your freedom. [cheering] they want to silence me because i will never let them silence you and in the end, they are not after me, they are after you, i just happened to be standing in their way.

white house from kamala and kirk joe, he's crooked as a 4-dollar bill, i believe we are going to have the four greatest tears in the history of our country starting on day one, we will and inflation and make america affordable again. we will make it affordable again. thanks to kamala harris tie-breaking vote, who suffered the highest inflation of any city in the country last year. great job, government. under kamala, georgia families lost $28000 in inflation and inflation hikes to bring down the prices of all goods, who will stop the biden -- harris war and we will -- american energy is such a big deal. we will drill, baby, drill. we will get the number down, bring energy prices down. we will terminate the green new scam and i will and the biden harris electric vehicle mandate on day one it will be amended. we will pass massive tax cuts for workers and that includes no

[cheering] i will revoke china's most favored nations, i will pass the trump reciprocal trade act of china or any other country makes us pay one or two 100% tariffs, we will make them pay reciprocal tariff of 100 or two 100%. you hurt us, we hurt you, and i for an eye. they will stop doing it before i even arrived at the oval office shortly after we win the presidency. i will have a horrible war between russia and ukraine settled and i will prevent -- i'm the only one it's going to do it. one 100% will prevent world war iii which is very close to happening. [cheering] i will restore peace through

strength and in my next term, we will build a great iron dome missing defense shields. a dome like none other, like nobody has ever seen before and it will be made in the usa. [cheering] the great state of georgia. [cheering] i will not cut one sense from social security or medicare. i kept that promise four years ago and i will keep it again. seniors will not pay taxes on social security. [cheering] we are going to rebuild our cities better than they have ever been before. we will take over the worldly run capital of our nation in washington d.c. and clean it up, motivated, rebuilt capital city so it's no longer a nightmare of murder and crime, we are going to stop murder and crime. you end up getting mugged,

murdered that our capital. it will be tough and strong like great police officers but rather, who will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world. you could say it again but it's been battling run for so long. i almost don't want to say again. they want i will sign a new executive order to cut at all funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial sexual or political content onto the shoulders of our children.

right here in atlanta, we inherit the legacy of red-blooded american patriots who gave their blood, sweat and tears to defend our country and our freedom, we stand on the shoulders of american heroes across the ocean, settled the continent, laid down the railroads, raised a great big beautiful skyscrapers. world wars defeated fascism and communism and made america into the single greatest nation in the history of the world. [cheering] now we are a nation in decline, a failing nation, a nation that's lost its confidence, willpower and frank. we are a nation that's lost its way and we are not going to allow this to continue. less than four years ago we were a great nation and will soon be a great nation again.

[cheering] we've got leadership for every disaster, kamala harris and joe biden have created, it can be fixed and it will be fixed very quickly. every problem can be solved and every wrong can be rectified. by this time next year, america's borders will be strong, sealed and secure. inflation will be in full retreat, luring back. it's going to be roaring back. optimism will be certain. the american dream will be driving again for citizens of every race, religion, color, law and justice will reign throughout our land, freedom restored. the flame of liberty burning bright. joe biden and kamala harris of the worst administration in the history of our country. we will be a fading memory of the past. great silent majority including

the ones forgotten, men and women of our country will be the ones shaping america's magnificent future when i am the 47th president of the united states.

[cheering] >> former president donald trump wrapping up a massive rally in atlanta and he doesn't need big stores to fire up that crowd. >> i don't need entertainers, i am making america great again. >> atlanta is hot tonight were former president trump and his running mate j.d. vance got the crowd thousand fired up. fox news correspondent mark meredith in atlanta where trump just wrapped up. >> good evening to you. you can hear the crowd went wild after former president trump spoke for nearly month 90 minutes. he lost a barrage of new attacks against vice president kamala harris and in an unusual campaign strategy attacked the

sitting republican governor of georgia multiple times a major headline in this state. the major focus was going to be on the november election against the democrats, here's a snippet of what he said moments ago. >> she refuses to say the words illegal alien or radical islamic terrorists. she says no. the main things, she wants to let mass amnesty and citizenship, she wants all illegals to have mass amnesty. [booing] even criminals in the selection could not be more historical the one hand. you have a radical left freak you have a candidate whose fake, fake, fake. on the other hand, you have a president who will fight, fight, fight for america. [cheering] ♪ >> for the trump and harris talk

face-to-face, that is unclear. harris wants to participate in a debate. president biden agreed to the one abc would host in september. trump said he is going to debate harris but doesn't want to do the one agreed to for president biden. not the one on abc. here's what trump set about debating earlier tonight. >> we are doing one, i don't think she is going to go. she can't talk, she could read teleprompter, i give her about a six out of ten. for talking, i give her less than a one. we need people who can talk. >> vice president put out a statement, she is talking at least through that and said vice president on the campaign will be there one way or another to take the opportunity to speak to a national audience. we are happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns agreed to. the harris campaign making it

clear they want to participate in the debate and that's where they think it will stand. nothing has been resolved. before the former president took the stage, had a chance to sit down with that black business leaders to talk about the economy and efforts to boost businesses in his state which the economy remains front and center nationally. here's what trump had to say before tonight's rally. >> better than ever. they are regulating people out of business right now. i'm hearing it from everybody. the biggest problem is immigration. >> will hear a lot about how the rally was received, vice president campaign did tuesday, it was a sold-out crowd, every seat taken. people to filter out. they did start about an hour and 15 minutes late but i can't underscore enough what was so bizarre to me as a former georgia, the he would do

multiple attacks against the republican establishment including the city government, no matter what, that's a major headline coming out. >> i think there will be multiple headlines tonight. so good to see you, thank you so much. thank you for joining us at the "big weekend show". lisa boothe, charlie hurt and david webb. remember, just a few days after biden dropped out of the race and endorsed harris, trump said he would debate her. >> if kamala harris doesn't of been the democrat nominee, you commit to debating her at least one time? >> absolutely. i think it is important. i'd be willing to do more than one debate, actually. >> but that's not what democrats and the media want you to believe. >> he's scared to debate a black woman. the presumption one could draw from his refusal to commit to debating vp harris.

>> he is a was. he's scared of her, she will run circles around him and he knows that. >> i think they are scared. this is classic. >> fear. [laughter] fear. he is a chicken. >> to some it looks like harris is the one avoiding questions, she hasn't held single discomfort since becoming the presumptive democratic nominee. lisa, debate about the debates, they said bring it on but they can't agree on where, how it will happen but how do you see all of this? do you really think americans care about this little bite? >> i will say even the way this has been present by the media is a lie, look at the headlines trump pulling out of the debate -- activate was set between joe biden and donald trump. joe biden is the one who backed out because he backed out of being the candidate because his

party was so afraid he would lose, they whacked him and brought and kamala harris at the 11th hour. i don't think the guy who took a bullet to the ear and stood up and yelled fight, fight, fight is afraid to debate kamala harris, he's making sure the debate is fair and she's not even the nominee, she is the presumptive nominee, not the actual nominee. one of the most important lines was when donald trump said this race needs to be too big to rick and why he saying that is the example i gave the gas lighting from the media and the media's ability to lie, look at social media with meta and google trying to hold the assassination attempts, the search engine and liking people posting photos and the assassination attempt, they will try to break the selection. i will say it does feel like the momentum has shifted a little bit. i know we are being told is a honeymoon phase, that can last a little while, less than 100 days from the election. early voting starts september 16 in pennsylvania. he look at the state of georgia,

trump up by six against joe biden and two against kamala harris so i am a little worried right now, i think donald trump will still win but it is go time connect you think there is concern about kamala harris off scripted moments? she's been on from for quite a bit and we have an example the other night when the americans were by the russians. >> it is extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strengths that rests in understanding. >> some of her critics will say she's grown as a person since 2020 but this is something we've seen all along. >> just because the salad got bigger doesn't mean it got better. that's what she does. what kamala harris has lacked since her time in public life is attorney general, san francisco,

the state is a senator, she doesn't do the work, she doesn't have the depth so that is typically when you get repeated phrases and words salads when somebody is lacking the ability to follow and it is simply who she is. it is reported about her, she doesn't take her briefings, she doesn't do the work, she loves to have a role in the title. if you look at what she's been given, you do the research she's been there in the white house as vice president, vice president for joe biden, what is she followed through on even on their own agendas? not much if anything. she goes out occasionally shows up. i don't think trump is afraid to debate her, i think the biggest problem right now is she may not do the debate in the american people need to see her on display the way they did joe biden. >> let's talk about the trump

rally we saw in the same venue where kamala harris was as well. very different rally, a trump rally but he engaged and engaged with michaela montgomery who talked about black engagement which is going to be critical. >> this was a trump rally and the thing kamala harris had earlier this week was a concert with megan the salient has monthly mr. on spotify and couldn't sell the arena. this was a trump rally, everybody here was for trump, they wanted to see trump. as far as the question of who is scared, don't ask donald trump, don't ask republicans. ask the campaign he was afraid. they are so terrified, they won't let her sit down with the reporter and interview.

they won't let her go out and speak in an unscripted event because of the stupid things she says which as you pointed out, she is a lightweight. obviously trump mentions this, the press is trying to turn her into margaret thatcher was a great line it is true, they are trying to do that. i think it's a pretty tall order, i don't think they will be able to do that but the thing they are not going to be able to do is successfully redefined trump as being somebody who doesn't want to debate or is scared or doesn't want to come out and talk about the issues. that is all the guy ever wants to, talk about the issues. >> he just did for 90 minutes. straight ahead, the questions that still remain after the secret service lookout for the first time since the trump assassination attempt plus the media compares trump to mussolini in a while to take on the response to assassination attempts. that is next. ♪

building from which thomas crooks fired from, he came here the day after he was appointed temporary director, you may recall former secret service director kim cheatle testified she never came to the site and when he came here, he questioned why secret service would not placed on the roof of the agr building. >> seeing how close that site was to the stage, where it was, it definitely raise a lot of questions in my mind that this should happen physical presence if not on the roof that there should have been better security to prevent anyone from getting on the roof. >> david spohn asked if he will update the public in real time whether anyone is fired or suspended, there's a lot of outcry that there should be accountability here. >> secret service takes full responsibly for the tragic event july 13. >> it was a mission failure. >> has anyone been suspended with or without pay for fired? >> there were policy violations and they are substantiated.

employees will be held accountable. >> it was as flat out with the secret service relies too much on local law enforcement and he pushed back saying local law enforcement those state laws better, they have arresting power in they know their communities well so secret service will always rely on local police but broke promises moving forward your service will have robust conversations with local law enforcement to something like this never happens again. >> thank you. before we dig into this, senator josh hawley tweeted this before the press conference, he said you with the blower tells me secret service acting director wrote personally directed to the uss agents who did threat assessments or events. whistleblowers say the agent were not present and warned of security problems for months. this is what the acting director has to say.

>> there's a report whistleblower alleged you personally elected the counter surveillance division is that accurate? >> the division has been out there supporting the detail at very high profile events. they continue to provide that support and they are providing support right now. >> did you know they cut funding? >> i did not. >> are weakening the truth? >> we are getting a lot of deflection. if you notice carefully, how carefully he answers the questions without taking accountability. first of all, to say the secret service takes responsibility for example, it is their responsibility, the lead agency. local law enforcement coordinates but from when this happened, i said being on different channels is a problem in these multiple agencies. law enforcement has a low side

and high side. think of it like the scanner people can listen to, that is the low side. high side for secure communications, they should have been on the same channels, that is secret service respon responsibility, not local law enforcement so they failed because whoever was there and in charge didn't follow procedure, it was revamped after the attempted assassination of reagan. at that time, someone resigned, the secret service resigned, people would discipline but what has come out of this deflection, we haven't taken action, 21 days to the day i believe so what have they done between then and now when we know the timeline? they cannot ignore the elephant in the room, the rooftop. there is no ignoring that no matter what it is. >> it took congressional pressure to get to full responsibility and coverage from the media and the former

president has been gracious about the agents there who put their bodies in front. >> they did their job and the moment they wake they should but if the person in charge make sure the jobs are done ahead of that, that incident should not happen in an american is dead and two others seriously wou wounded. >> but i can't get over is saying an individual walking around with a rangefinder didn't elevate that to a critical threat. i wonder how many rallies they see people walking around with a frame finder. it defies reason. this is from political, we had an environment where trump has been called hitler, he's inhuman, this is an opinion pieces as authoritarian scholar explains how mussolini used assassination attempt to gain power and donald trump could do the same. >> we've gone from comparing him

to hitler for years in the mainstream media to comparing him now to mussolini and you would think these people would dial it back in the wake of an assassination attempt but -- i get it, these people are desperate for clicks but you wonder why there are lunatics in the world who despise donald trump and think he should be eliminated and celebrated the attempt on his life on the internet. this is how it happens, you have mainstream media outlets spending this time comparing him to hitler and the response is where we dial it back and compare him to mussolini. >> it defies reason that a 20-year-old was able to walk into a rally with a budget gear and carry out to an undefended roof with the insight of former president. >> in the secret service so long to accept responsibility, they

didn't take responsibility, like a kid who gets caught grounded when they are coming out of being grounded like i did that. we know you did that and that's what's happening and americans are watching thinking 21 days, it took 21 days so you lose the feeling of security as an american especially when you see the people in charge mark taking responsibly. >> we see it and pulling where americans no longer trust the secret service with good reason. thank you for watching tonight. we will see you back here tomorrow 7:00 p.m. eastern for the "big weekend show". life, liberty and levin starts right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
