♪ [cheers and applause] >> steve: how great was that? >> we have a vice president who

is the least admired, least respected and the worst vice president in the history of our country. >> i'm beyond trying to speculate how he thinks. >> bill: you had a marathon presser versus a minute-long gaggle. the vice president briefly talking with reporters but still no formal interview or news conference as we say hello friday morning. dana is back on monday. i'm bill hemmer live in new york city. >> shannon: happy friday. that's today. that's my allotment for the day. i'm shannon bream and this is "america's newsroom." nominees exchanging blows ahead of another busy day on the trail. former president trump will be in bozeman, montana >> bill: the vice president harris took questions for a minute on the tarmac. they were not substantive but did promise to hold her first interview by the end of the

month and said her team is working on it. governor doug burgum is on deck. griff jenkins from the white house and aishah hosni in palm beach to begin our coverage today. good morning to you. >> good morning. former president trump with this big mar-a-lago press conference yesterday was trying to paint the picture and prove to the press that he is the most transparent and the most accessible candidate in this race right now and trying to pressure kamala harris to confront the cameras, face the cameras because he believes that is her biggest weakness. >> she is not doing any news conference. she can't do a news conference. she doesn't know how. she is not smart enough to do a news conference. reporting out there that he has been frustrated with his campaign as new polling now has harris taking the lead. team trump is calling that a honeymoon period as the former president explained why he thinks she is seeing a bump.

>> she is a woman, she represents certain groups of people, but i will say this, when people find out about her, i think she will be much less. i see it right now going way down in the polls. >> the bottom line, though, the former president says there is no panic in his campaign. the fundamentals of this race have not changed and so that is why he is sticking with husband current campaign strategy. >> bill: thank you, nice to see you in palm beach. enjoy that. >> madam vice president. >> shannon: vice president harris talking to reporters after being criticized for dodging the press. it lasted 77 seconds. griff jenkins is covering it from the white house. >> good morning, shannon. v.p. harris and governor walz

continue barnstorming the battleground state in the sun belt today. phoenix, arizona rally today and then travel to las vegas, nevada to woo voters there. what we're watching is whether or not she will at least continue to gaggle with the press. yesterday she did end that 18-day media blackout with no interviews or press conferences and answered five questions for 77 seconds with reporters on the tarmac. here is some of what she said. >> some of the criticism has been about your vice presidential pick and his leaving the national guard of 24 years. vance said he deserted his own colleagues. what is your take on that? >> listen, i praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country. and i think that we all should. >> there has been a lot of questions when you will sit down for your first interview. >> i want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the

month. >> we have asked her team when that interview might come. we aren't getting any information on that. find out if that comes and nothing scheduled in the way of a press conference. we looked back here at fox and found her last solo press conference, by the way, was in early december last year when she was in dubai. finally, shannon, if you are wondering if or when we might see president biden and v.p. harris together in public, we learned they will travel together to maryland next week to discuss about how voters can save money. shannon. >> shannon: griff jenkins at the white house. >> bill: north dakota governor doug burgum is with us. we know you are a trump supporter. that has been clear for the past six months. however, the polling suggests that she has some momentum. where today some 88 days away do you see this race? >> well, the race is still going to favor president trump. the set of cards that harris and

walz have, you have an economy in shambles, border that's open. wars breaking out around the world and whether that's advances by china, advances by iran, it is the total mess that joe biden and harris have left us is still there. this honeymoon period unbelievable, bill and shannon. she got almost three weeks without having to take a question from a reporter as a candidate. anybody who has ever run for president knows even if you are an unknown candidate you can't go three hours much less three weeks without somebody asking you a question. if you are dodging them for three weeks she would be out of the race and no press conference since december. a record for a vice president. never mentions joe biden's name. she was part of the conspiracy and cover-up about joe biden's health. the media was complicit with

that and now they're lifting her up without putting her on even the most minimal kind of questions about policy that you would ask any candidate even at the very beginning of a presidential campaign. here she is the nominee and they are giving her a free pass. it is unbelievable. >> shannon: why would they change strategy? the polling is looking good. a big change from when president biden was on ticket to now. it is giving four-point advantage head-to-head nationally. if you are voting right now. so the no press conferences, the no being pushed, it seems to be working. her unfavorables are down, favorables are up. we were told she was super unpopular. the strategy is working. why would they change? >> as long as they have accomplice it media that isn't -- for her to say i'm trying to schedule an interview in the next three weeks?

it is just stunning that they can say that and not be requested and be that's great, she is really getting after it. when you take a look at the poll numbers you can't look at the national polls. you have to go state by state. i have always said this race is coming down to seven swing states and in those seven swing states even take a place like minnesota, remember president trump won 78 out of 87 counties when he -- in 2016 when he ran for president, a state they said a republican could never win. so this is a -- the message is out there. people understand when we start talking about the economy, people understand that they are worse off today under biden-harris than they were under the great economy they had with president trump. we didn't have wars under president trump. now they are breaking pout all over the world and the open border. with harris being the open border czar she can't run from that. the one thing they asked her to do as the open border czar and

was the swing vote on the inflation creation act. she in the senate voted for this incredibly bad piece of legislation that has caused inflation, eroding americans energy advantage. she is key to that and was the swing vote. she has to own the policies that she has voted for and i know the trump campaign is going to hold her to those. >> bill: governor, based on that answer there is a lot to shoot at. we'll see how well the former president can prosecute the case against her. two things here. number one on the kamala harris honeymoon from yesterday's press conference. watch. >> the honeymoon period will -- she has a little period. she has a convention coming up. it is about policy. it is not about her. i think she is incompetent because i've watched her. she destroyed california, she destroyed san francisco. everything she has touched has turned to bad things. i won't use foul language.

but everything she has touched has turned bad. she is incompetent. >> bill: the one key line in there is it's about policy, not about her. we'll see whether or not he sticks to that. the "wall street journal" today writes this in their editorial. kamala harris mystery commander-in-chief. how would the vice president keep america safe in a dangerous world? the voters deserve some answers and they tick off a number of things. why couldn't you stop putin going into ukraine? afghan withdrawal. what is happening with china. on and on it goes. we are hyper focused on domestic matters in a lot of ways because of our economy and inflation issue, another topic that needs to be prosecuted fairly and deeply over the next 88 days. if you go to her website, there are 0 issues that are listed on her website. when does that change, governor? >> that's right, bill, there is 0 policies on the biden --

harris-walz website as you pointed out. one glimpse we have about her on policy is the whole decision she made about who would be her v.p. she passed on governor shapiro in part to play indicate -- placate the hamas wing of her party. they've been advocating on behalf of hamas trying to tell israel to stand down. that should tell us certainly one thing that we know about her policy and president trump there was never a president stronger on israel than president trump. from a commander-in-chief president trump equals strength. harris is the same as biden. weakness invites wars in america and the big stick that we can carry around the world is energy dominance and harris has led the charge in trying to kill the u.s. energy industry. we talk about the president being so powerful of the united states, but the president of the

united states only can shut down about 10% of the world's energy production that's here in the united states. so when they go after u.s. energy, that's when they are empowering iran and others. >> bill: i get it. the piece concludes americans should not have to read tea leaves to see the if harris can keep us safe in a treacherous world. thank you, we'll talk again. d.c., your hometown. shannon. debby lashing the nation's capital. heavy winds and rain. millions will be affected by this. the storm is set to unleash life threatening flooding from pennsylvania to vermont. while south carolina begins cleaning up the damage ravaging their communities. we're tracking it all on fox weather and adam klotz who is with us now? >> still an active system but finally beginning to move a little bit quicker. it stalled off the southeast

coast for so many days. at this point moving at 35 miles-per-hour bringing hazards with it even though it makes the move. several tornado warnings in the d.c. area this morning. this one further to the north. we continue to get the small little cells that have a little bit of spin. those turn into tornadoes. still a dangerous situation. beyond that flooding continues to be maybe the largest concern as we continue to see at least some sort of flash flood warnings as cross dc and north. this is not done in the morning. it will continue to move. we have tornado watch in place from richmond to d.c., philadelphia and places north like scranton until 2:00 p.m. eastern time. the severe risk is going to stay in place as we track this system moving through here on friday. ultimately through saturday. flooding continues to be one of the major concerns. it is a little more into interior portions of you england and mid atlantic farther north. the flash flood threat remains

high. the storm is exiting the country by saturday. it has been slow moving and starting to get going here and we have a couple more days. >> bill: we'll track it. download the fox weather app to livestream coverage right now. there is also this and watch carefully. >> yeah, i hear you. i know, yeah, i couldn't find him. >> it goes on for a long time. this is new and dramatic body cam video showing the intense moments before and after the attempted assassination of former president trump. we'll play you the critical parts of that coming up here. shannon. >> shannon: a cross fit competition takes a tragic turn. the investigation into the death of an athlete. >> bill: market will open up after a wild week on wall street. larry kudlow is here to tell us about the state of play in the u.s. economy during an election year, don't miss larry coming up.

>> is he hit? is there a ladder there, paul? >> get the ladder here! >> did you see a shooter? does he have a weapon? >> that was the report. >> understood, no confirmation. they are on the way there. >> stand by, we'll be there as well. >> get -- >> watch out. >> there is a lot of video to go through. we're here to walk us through it and what we see and what we think we learn. >> we were there that day on the ground and saw that angle. now looking at the body camera footage you see thing much differently. the minutes right after the

shooting. officers talking about what went horribly wrong that day. one officer said he told the secret service to secure that roof. >> i would say this was a [bleep] up. >> why are we not on the roof? >> why weren't we? i told them they need to post a guy over here. i told them that. the secret service. i told them that tuesday. i told them to post guys over here. >> telling them to put people on the roof. no one was on the roof except the gunman. 30 seconds before the gunman opened fire an officer had a chance to stop it. when he saw the armed 20-year-old on the roof he ended up dropping down. then the gunman started shooting. that officer describing those critical moments. >> before he came up here i popped my head up.

he turned around and i dropped. >> you can hear the officers discussing how they were watching this gunman. saw him in the crowd creeping people out. they lost track of him. watch. >> there was a gentleman, we were looking for earlier creeping people out. he was walking in the woods by the water tower. >> yeah, i hear you. >> we were watching him. >> i know, yeah, couldn't find him. >> the secret service responding to this he are lease of the video telling fox digital the attempted assassination of former president donald trump was a u.s. secret service failure and we are reviewing and updating our protective policies and procedures in order to insure a tragedy like this never occurs again. there will be more congressional hearings as we know. local authorities telling us they are preparing to be questioned by the feds in the coming days. sheriffs say they hope they can help the investigators come up with better plan and there will be more rallies. >> bill: the task force may

drift after december. this local cop boosted to the top of that roof saw the killer and he turned his fire on him. did not fire a shot. that cop drops down. what are they telling you now about how he may have affected the assassin? >> those critical moments, 30 seconds before this gunman opened fire. gets up there, sees them. i asked the sheriff about this yesterday in butler county. depends who you talk to. he thinks this guy might have rattled to gunman to knock him out of place. more prepared to get on the ground and shoot more people let alone assassinate the president. the last moment where he peaked his head up there he didn't shoot him or pull out his gun could have helped save lives. >> bill: it may have unnerved him enough not to get the clean shot. >> it is crazy to see this. sheriff's deputy don't have cameras so they don't have

footage. >> shannon: let's bring in a former f.b.i. special agent and behavioral expert. robin, great to have you with us. an extended cut from one of the local officers post shooting. >> i told them they need to post a guy over here. i told them that, the secret service. i told them that tuesday. i told them to post guys over here. what? no. we're inside. >> bravo one, bravo one. >> i told them to post guys over here. >> shannon: sounds like the officer is saying we warned secret service about this rooftop. i told them to have someone there. a lot of the information we hear is locals. the feds seems to be stoppage in the information flow we are getting from them. >> no doubt, shannon.

what we're seeing is a lot of innovative high energy problem solving by local officers and secret service around president trump. these are the people executing a really, really poor plan. this just highlights even more to us that this is a catastrophic leadership failure because these officers, they don't lack energy or resources. there is people there. they lack a coordinated effort with people following up and following through on what should have happened and what should have taken place. i very much doubt this is an isolated event. i think this investigation will show there is a systemic problem with leadership and leadership selection within the secret service over time. >> shannon: i want to play something from the acting now director of the secret service testifying before congress and talking about some of the breakdowns that day. here he is. >> it is troubling to me we did not get that information as quickly as we should have. we didn't know there was this

incident going on. nothing about man on the roof, nothing about man with a gun, none of that information ever made it over our net. >> so that will change? >> yes, sir. >> shannon: that gets back to the conversation we had after 9/11. there weren't radio frequencies coordinated. here with are 20 plus years later and still seems like all these different agencies couldn't communicate vital information. >> that's definitely one of the problems is being able to communicate with each other. as you highlighted, if that's a systemic problem over time, technology isn't the issue, it is the ability to inspire people to utilize technology. again, this is a problem with leadership. every time we have a massive failure like this in any venue with any organization, it always goes to the top. when the secret service says they are going to be reviewing

policy and procedures, that is scary to me. i don't doubt the policy and procedures they have in place for this were effective and heard it from other secret service agents. it's the execution of the policy and procedure falling short which is leadership, leadership, leadership. i fear they are circling the wag yens and protecting each other. i think they need to overhaul their system. >> shannon: you think it may not be an isolated incident. it was a near miss and a man lost his life and two other people wounded that day. do you think there have been other events similarly not as well executed? >> i think it's undoubtedly true that's what happens. rarely in life in any behave you're that we see with people over time 0 from catastrophic events. we want to take a look and should be investigating the baseline what happened over time. even president trump would be a

good resource. he has hosted almost 200 of these events over a long period of time. he knows what normal looks like from secret service in these protective details. curious as people under protective service as a protectee over a period of time and when the shift happened this started happening. >> shannon: yesterday he said he talked with the f.b.i. and had praise for them trying to get to the bottom of this. >> bill: 28 past now in the middle east here we go. israel unleashing an attack on a key terrorist infrastructure. we're watching all of this as the u.s. attempts to apply the pressure to keep iran from reacting. what gives next? mike pompeo on the state of play today. another key arrest was just announced in the terror plot aimed at taylor swift fans in europe. was this plan much larger than initially expected? i'd like to take a moment to

>> shannon: video showing idf forces blasting underground terror operations, two miles of tunnels containing weapons and rooms exploding to ash. israeli forces to the north striking hezbollah headquarters and artillery stash overnight. terrorist leaders promised to attack whatever the consequences. you have more details at the board. >> bill: sure do, shannon. just because you are in the northern part of israel with lebanon we'll begin here. a week ago this is the location where the soccer field was hit more than a dozen young kids and teenagers were killed. that was really the latest spark. here is your border that divides israel and lebanon. the river 18 to 22 miles up north of the northern part of israel always critical going back in history on this river and where forces can be

deployed. with all these rockets now and advance rockets, it is clear that you can easily fly over that point but nonetheless it is still something that jack keane is keen on and we'll get to that later. all this black area here shows 80,000 is lease who have cleared out of these towns and villages moved south six months ago and living in hotels and with family or left the country entirely. gaza, you mentioned this a moment ago. ongoing fighting. i point to this right here, yellow circle ongoing fighting on the outskirts of rafah on the border with sinai in egypt. big picture now, israel that we're talking about. this is the u.s. military and how we have deployed throughout this region. it is significant. number one, the roosevelt carrier strike group in the persian gulf watching iran. more along here than in the red sea with the houthis in yemen

and roosevelt giving force protection for israel and looking at lebanon. mike pompeo is with me now. the headline "wall street journal." u.s. warns of serious risk if it conducts major attack on israel. are the iranians listening to us, sir? should we believe that's the case now? >> bill, i hope so. but there is not much reason for them to be listening. what we've typically said there is don't and then followed up with a set of policies that encouraged continuing iranian aggression, whether the $6 billion we paid to get some american hostages home. whether it's the total lack of action to get the current american hostages still being held home. the fact that they struck and injured americans was almost overlooked by the administration. they don't even speak about this. we had americans injured by iranian rockets in iraq -- in

iraq just a week ago and the united states has done nothing to impose costs on the iranians. i suspect when they see an off the record quote in the "wall street journal" this morning that says hey, be careful, they don't take that into their deterrence calculus and the risk in israel continues to expand and risk of a greater war in the region continues to expand as well. >> bill: "new york post." hundreds of suspected cartel drones, some now with explosives, are flying near the southern border. you think about that possibility and you think about these 100 people on the terror watch list who were able to cross the border and somewhere here at home. we've got an election in three months. how is kamala harris going to address this threat? because it happened when she was in the white house. >> no doubt that it did. no doubt it happened when she was at least nominally in charge of border security and keeping americans safe from threats that

emanate from our southern border. you said think about this. i thought about this an awful lot. the trump administration we thought about this risk of terrorists coming across our southern border a lot and we began to enact a set of policies to reduce the risk. the number of people captured on our southern border that were on the terror watch list was much lower. the bad guys understood we were serious. we could prosecute them and put them in jail, send them back home and biden administration has done the opposite. they fueled the immigration. you can see today from dozens and dozens of countries you have people on our u.s. terror watch list now sitting somewhere in the united states today and we frankly don't know exactly where they are. certainly don't know what it is they are up to, whether it was what we saw happen with the pakistani who had connections to iran indicted this week or other things that we've seen happen from illegal immigrants. the risk of terror inside our country emanating from someone who made their way across our now wide open southern porous

border is very real. i don't think there is a darn think that vice president harris or nominal v.p. governor walz have encouraged this. unserious leaders putting risk on the american people. >> shannon: you think about the f.b.i. director a couple of months ago saying he has never seen so many flashing lights all over the place. he talked about the border being part of this in that context. he said in his career he has never seen so many different threats from so many different places coming in at one time, the border being part of that. you have been privy to what it's like to know about all these threats. how worried are you when you hear the f.b.i. director saying that publicly and what seems to be a path to the current administration on the border? >> it was quite a remarkable statement from director wray saying that all the red lights are flashing. never seen anything quite like this. it tells me he knows there are problems that the f.b.i. is not capable of managing. the scale of the risk is beyond

their capabilities today. because the cbp has been told to stand down and border policies have permitted these folks to come in and the scale of the risk is so large. i did see it, shannon. these people are serious. cartels have real money and well funded and deeply connected to the chinese communist party. a lot of it is chinese money laundering. it emanates from all the bad actors and inside the gates of the united states as well. >> shannon: mr. secretary, good to see you, sir. >> bill: thanks for coming on. >> have a great weekend. >> shannon: markets wrapping up a wild week. reignited fears of a recession. what does it mean for 2024? larry kudlow is up next on that. neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair. it has derm-proven retinol... ...expertly formulated... ...to target skin cell turnover... ...and fights not one—but 5 signs of aging. with visible results... ...in just one week. neutrogena

>> shannon: the arrest of a third suspect in connection with the foiled plot with taylor swift concerts. the teen was in contact with the main suspect, 19. it was inspired by isis, it forced swift to cancel three concerts in vienna. >> bill: stocks are open today. trading lower after what has been a nuts kind of week. there are fears by some of a recession looming out there. larry kudlow, i don't know where he stands on this. he is here now to tell us. good morning to you, larry, nice to see you. high prices, inflation, these are real concerns for everyday americans, just really all over the country. here is kamala harris on what she says she will do but we'll

start in 2021 and end on this clip in 2024. let's watch together. >> cost of groceries has gone up. the cost of gas has gone up. one of the highest priorities for the president and me. fighting inflation is one of our administration's top economic priorities. for many americans prices are still too high. and we still have work to do to address that. when i am president it will be my day one priority to fight to bring down prices. >> bill: day one priority. you have the job now. what do you think? can she sell to voters that she is the one who can do the job when she has been flying shotgun for four years? >> well, thanks for having me. look, i mean, i don't know what her policies are going to be. she hasn't really said anything. so she was joe biden's co-pilot. i don't hear the term bidenomics

anymore. i don't know whether there is a kamala-nomics or not. she has a strong liberal left progressive background, doesn't she? she is already blaming business for inflation, which is a function of excess government spending and cheap money. it's very hard to figure out what exactly she is going to say or do. by the way, if she has an idea, how to improve the economy she ought to start right now, not wait. i think she is in charge. >> bill: there is no tab for the issues. i don't know if i can remember in the modern age of the internet whether a candidate has ever done it that way. i don't know what you think about that and i don't know what you think about the state of the economy, good, bad, weak, strong, what do you think? >> it is weakening. it is weakening.

if you go back to the drop in ism manufacturing, which was last thursday, then you had very poor rising unemployment rates on friday. so the stock market is still down. i guess the dow is down 1400 points net/net and i think you are on the front end of a recession. i've said it before and continue to believe it. i don't think we're in a recession technically. but you have rising unemployment. by the way, 4.3% unemployment for non-college educated people in middle america. a lot of working folks, work with their hands, hard hats, their unemployment rate is 4.6%. that's troublesome. housing has been in a recession, unaffordable. we've seen a slump in wages, paychecks have declined, there is an affordability crisis that

is ongoing and been the soft underbelly of their economy, the biden-harris economy. so these are difficult things. there is a lot of leverage and over borrowing in the system. i'm not sure the stock market correction is over because of that over borrowing and people -- you know, even these prices, look, prices have risen faster than wages for 3 1/2 years plus. but that doesn't even include mortgage rates, car loan rates, and credit card rates that are up around 25%. so these are all issues. i think the economy is unbalanced right now. again, manufacturing and housing are down, consumer spending holding on by its fingernails. i still think we're in the front end of a recession. >> bill: okay, larry. onward we roll. seems like they'll have to come up with a good argument to push back on that. we'll see what they say.

good to have you on. >> you can't -- you can't -- i was just going to say if you want to talk policy for just 30 seconds. if you know that there is an impending economic slump, you don't want to be raising taxes, okay? that's just common sense. that's my point. they are talking about wiping out the trump tax cuts, adding onto taxes on successful earners and businesses, wealth taxes on unrealized capital gains. i think mr. trump put it very well yesterday saying his study of politics is that tax hikes are an election loser. tax cuts are an election winner. i don't think you have to be an ideologue. i just think it is common sense. let the economy breathe, let the private sector breathe. right now everyone is on hooks
