should we lighten it up? it's been pretty serious. here we go now. the polaris dawn astronauts are back on earth. >> they have successfully splashed down. welcome back to planet earth, polaris dawn. >> bill: cool stuff. you have to be rich to do this stuff, right? isaacman is a billionaire age 41 and three crew mates back homelanding safely in the gulf of mexico early yesterday. the mission made history by setting a new altitude record. you watched it last week become the first successful non-government space mission. they did a space walk. did all kinds of cool stuff up there. >> dana: he seems like an interesting individual. grew up in allentown, pennsylvania. >> bill: -- good for him. >> dana: we're watching this closely. the fox news alert.

we begin the hour with the suspect in yesterday's second assassination attempt against former president donald trump. the suspect is set to make his first federal court appearance in west palm beach, florida. we know that is going on. we have not seen anything come out of that yet so again we're watching this very closely. it has been fewer than 24 hours since the u.s. secret service agent foiled that attempt on trump's life. again, it's the second one in just about two months. two in one summer. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." former president trump says he is safe and well after shots rang out at his golf club in west palm beach yesterday afternoon. it was around 1:30 p.m. eastern. a secret service agent stationed one hole ahead of the former president noticed the muzzle of

an ak-47 style rifle pointing through the chain link fence. the agent opened fire and the suspect ran. the secret service law enforcement on the ground sharing just how close he got. >> how far was he from donald trump when this gentleman was caught and stopped? >> probably between three and 500 yards but with a rifle and scope like that, that's not a long distance. you have to understand the golf course is surrounded shrubbery. they're out of sight. at this level that he is at right now, he is not the sitting president. if he was, we would have had the entire golf course surrounded. the secret service did exact will i what they should have done and provided exactly what the protection should have been and their agent did a fantastic job. >> harris: now a bystander on

the golf course took a picture of the suspect's car and license plate and then he identified him to police. police then arrested the man a short time later in the neighboring county. imagine this. remember all of the bystanders after the first assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania and how they've made a difference in telling us and teaching us exactly what those moments around the president were like. and raising the question with the evidence on their cell phones of why he wasn't pulled off that stage. and now a bystander, a witness is responsible for the picture and identifying the suspect. thank god for those people. fox cameras captured video of the officers collecting the weapon and you can see the close-up shot of the rifle on the ground. at the fenceline officers also found a scope, two backpacks a gopro camera and ceramic tiles

to shield the suspect from flying bullets potentially. acting secret service director ronald rowe visited the site of the second assassination attempt earlier this morning. that agency has faced, as you can understand and imagine, a lot of scrutiny over the way they protect the former president. the leaders of the bipartisan congressional task force on july 13th butler, pennsylvania shooting are talking about it on fox this morning. >> one was a very public event at butler on july 13th. and when you look at yesterday's attempt, this was a private -- the former president going out golfing. how in the world do we get to the point where we have shooters at both places? >> political violence has no place in our country. republicans and democrats must come together and say it is unacceptable. this should never happen.

>> harris: some reporting from axios now, a quote. this election year has been home to america's worst political violence in nearly a half century and it is only mid september. dana marie mcnicholl is in west palm beach with more on the suspect and a growing investigation. i understand the governor of that state, ron desantis, wants to do a separate investigation. >> i got off the phone with the producer inside the federal courtroom and now we're understanding ryan routh has been charged with two charges, possession of firearm by a convicted felon and possession of firearm with obliterated serial number. we have information about what went on. no cameras in the federal courtroom. he walked in shackled with both his wrists and feet. he also smiled while he walked into that courtroom. our producer said he laughed with his attorney a couple of times, which is very interesting

to learn a little bit more about his demeanor. we are learning also about his presence on social media. he posted multiple times about the former president. we also know public records show 58 year old ryan routh had 100 run inwith police. he posted about ukraine and traveled there to help with efforts in the war. this account showed him weighing in on the former president's assassination attempt in july calling on vice president kamala harris to visit those injured at the pennsylvania trump rally because he said quote trump will never do anything to help them. routh lives in hawaii after spending most of his life in north carolina where he worked construction including owning a company called united roofing. palm beach sheriff said they are looking at his flight schedule and how he traveled to get to florida, where the gun came from. law enforcement says routh is not talking. that was the palm beach county sheriff this morning.

a witness saw routh run from the golf course, bushes and jump into a black nissan. >> made the stop and at gun point ordered him out of the vehicle. he complied. his demeanor was perplexing in some ways despite the fact we had numerous people out with rifles and a helicopter and numerous personal. >> the charges one more time. we got them. two charges, possession of a firearm by convicted felon and possession of firearm with obliterated serial number. the federal charges. the court hearing just ended moments ago and we had this talk with our producers and bring you as many updates as we can throughout the day. >> harris: i'm taking notes what you just said on the charges. appreciate you. thank you. dan, a former superintendent and chief of the boston police

department served as incident commander for the boston marathon bombing attack and bobby, a retired f.b.i. agent. can't wait to tap into what you know. bobby, i'll talk with you. the charges now are known. possible firearm by convicted felon, possible firearm with obliterated serial number. >> those are the easy charges to lodge. as they look into his background and what he was doing there and they can find out more solid motives they can update the charges to attempted murder of a federal official or some other federal charges. i think these are the charges they could lodge immediately to hold him and i think those charges will stick. i think they will be looking into other charges once they get more definitive evidence of his motive. >> harris: dan, it is hard to miss the fact that so many people around this, among them

officials, are saying some words about how almost -- i don't want to say less than it should have been for a former president, but less than it should have been for a former president who has already been shot and had an assassination attempt. what is your take on how much protection is around this current former president? >> obviously not enough. there are standards for current sitting presidents and for former presidents. we also have to adapt when circumstances and threats change. we know the former president was the victim of an assassination attempt eight weeks ago and there is a nation state that has looked to and sought to harm the former president. with those threat records, the secret service should be doing something different than what they do for former presidents. they should be doing protection program for the current president, the current sitting vice president, and the former president that are equal standards to make sure they can

take care of it. they don't have the resources for that. that means they'll have to reach out to local law enforcement to support them and try to get those resources, or do what they do during the u.n. situation in new york where they marshall lots of federal agencies in to assist the secret service. clearly they need to keep this from happening again. >> harris: and i just want to add this in and i'll come back to you, dan. we're tight on time. so let me just get this straight. bobby, we know from the former director, who quit right after she was called to capitol hill and gave some really mind blowing non-responses when she did respond. we know from her, though, that 1,500 was the number of employees that the f.b.i. was short. so when you hear dan talking about the shortages of personnel, he is exactly right on that.

that's what is known about the situation. why hasn't at least some of that reportedly been changed? i imagine if they were making great strides, we would know about it. >> the money going overseas and immigrants coming in, we're paying for their housing and paying for a lot of other things for them. so yeah, the resources are there, the administration makes its priorities based on where they send their resources. resources aren't going to the f.b.i. or secret service but other programs that we see every day being funded overseas and to this large immigrant population that we're importing. >> harris: i'm curious from you, dan, after the boston marathon, what kind of presence did the white house have? what were you bolstered by and what did they offer to do? we saw president biden saying they need more people, as if it were news at the u.s. secret service. we already knew that from two months ago with the first attack on his life.

what was it like, if you can compare with what you know about this situation? >> i met with president obama when he came to visit boston and had a private conversation and told him where we had to go and get them. he told me we would have whatever we need. the full support of the federal government. we did. i had atf, dea, marshals, cops from chicago, new york, all of new england. i had blackhawk helicopters from the national guard. every resource possible working on the field that day and that investigation that week. i think that's what has to have to happen for the protective mission of the former president until we get through the election cycle and get some of the heat out of that debate that's going on. >> harris: you call it a protective mission. your last thought on that. >> they have a duty and obligation. those agents will do it. they just need to be given the resources to do it effectively, to protect whoever they are protecting. >> harris: in all of your years

have you ever seen anything like this moment we're in? bobby, your last word. >> no, it seems to be getting worse. i saw congressmen blaming trump for this. saw one other democratic congressman says trump maybe eliminated. this rhetoric hasn't changed since the last assassination attempt and only getting worse. >> harris: i thank you for your time and expertise. >> thank you, harris. >> harris: vice president kamala harris was widely seen of the winner of last week's debate and got taylor swift's endorsement. none of that helped her in a significant way. plus she finally sat down for an interview solo. many viewers are expressing they are not impressed, including her rival. >> a big word salad. she just kept talking, talking, talking. she had no idea what the hell she was saying. she reminded me of sleepy joe

possibilities or these charges having to do with a weapon. the harder stuff comes potentially down the line, the harder charges. we'll follow the story and keep you updated. vice president kamala harris finally sat down for her first solo interview as the democratic nominee for president. 54 days after she jumped into the race and took her boss's spot on top of the ticket. the harris-walz ticket now has done a combined ten interviews. trump-vance in that same period of time 52. harris served up a word salad that -- >> we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you have in mind for that? >> i will start with this. i grew up a middle class kids and folks very proud of their

lawn. we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. it is about investing in areas that really need a lot of work and maybe focusing on, again, the aspirations and dreams, my focus is very much in what we need to do over the next ten or 20 years to catch up to the 21st century around again capacity but also challenge. >> if there is one thing that you wish americans knew about who kamala harris is that you don't think they know yet, what would that be? >> i love my family. one of my favorite things that lately have not been able to do is sunday family dinner. i love to cook. i have incredible friends. >> harris: okay.

i mention there were some debate over how she answered the question. in particular how would you make things better for people in this country right now? the debate is whether or not you understood it. i guess if you want to vote for her maybe you did. if you don't, maybe you didn't or maybe you just fall into the vat of people who didn't get it period no matter how they vote. either way, well, you saw it. republican senator marco rubio wants kamala harris to answer this particular question. >> you've been in a position, you aren't some outsider running for office. as inside as you can be. as vice president. why haven't you done these things already? and i think a lot of voters picked up on that. there is a big difference between impressing the media class and the pundits and impressing voters. two very different universes. i think what will decide this election is not the pundits but the voters. >> harris: some of those voters are already voting in early voting states. more of that at a different time. for now we've watched kamala

harris flip-flop on many of her past far-left positions. one that we always mention because it was just so blatant when she said she wanted to ban fracking. there was no misunderstanding around what she said. now her team says on her behalf, no, she doesn't. another example, doing away with private health insurance. not a lot of gray area on what she said before. now her team says she doesn't really want to do that. no funding for the border wall. she lived in california where there is a strong structure that goes all the way into the ocean south of san diego. i never heard her fight against the wall when she was one of the citizens being advantaged by having a wall. hum. border wall funding, nope, not going to do that. secretary pete buttigieg is running defense for kamala harris. let's watch. >> look, you develop your policies based on what you see happening in the world around you and what you are able to

accomplish in washington. you take the example of immigration we just talked through what has changed over the last five or say the same thing on climate. every election is about the future, not the past. >> harris: if only he had had a successful presidential run you might listen to what he is saying to defend her. critics say the media are not holding harris accountable, either. a new column argues kamala's softball abc sit-down shows network bias and she has nothing to say and adds. in an 11-minute sit-down interview with a pennsylvania abc affiliate that has drawn more than 5 million views on x the vice president lapsed into recycled sound bites and snippets from past speeches. the reporter asked direct questions about policies and never got direct answers. power panel now, kaley mcgee white and david carlucci democratic state senator from new york. kaley, i come to you first on

what it is we're seeing from kamala harris right now. by the way, the debate did about what it always does for people with debates, impact 0. flat. >> i think that there was a time when voters were willing to give kamala harris the benefit of the doubt on this basement strategy. she was new on the campaign trail. she was still developing a policy platform. harris, we're so far past that point. this is being seen for what it is. deliberate evasion. that tells voters two things. i say this as a voter from a swing state from michigan who has talked to a lot of people about this. it tells them two things. first, that like biden-harris would enter office as a shell of a president. as a figurehead for someone else to use as they see fit and it tells them like biden-harris is trying to run as a centrist candidate now but if she were elected and to take the white house she would govern as a far left progressive. so her refusal to provide specifics is actually hurting her campaign at this point.

>> harris: david, harris is widely seen as the debate winner. it hasn't moved the needle much at all for voters. she gained only one point compared with pre-debate polling and she now is at 51% to -- you see it on the screen there. and there was also a lot of hype over taylor swift's endorsement of the v.p. only 6% said it made a difference in their vote. 81% said it didn't matter at all. a new headline reads harris flat lines in post debate polling despite claims of victory. excerpt reads harris has stayed safely behind the protected film of scripted speech and campaign trail spots and glossy social media videos in the six weeks since becoming the nominee. that is leaving voters with a little sense of harris's platform or personality. for an incumbent from a deeply unpopular administration, kamala harris risks allowing voters to

fill in the blanks with their skepticism of her. former rnc chairman and msnbc analyst michael steele with his shade at trump supporters. >> this man is unserious. >> yes. >> the fact that he is running close in this race to me is offensive because it says a lot about us as a americans if you believe this guy. >> harris: i don't know what he is trying to say there about american voters that he thinks would help kamala harris but the bottom line is none of this is helping her move. she had a big honeymoon period. david, i've heard you say now it's time for the hard work. >> well, i mean she has had one successful event after the other. she has momentum at her back and what we want to see if it's your candidate. and yeah, you pointed to the debate not moving the needle much. in this election where we know it is just so close, that moving

the needle just a fraction of a percent is important. look back to the biden trump debate. that didn't move the needle much in terms of polling but eventually let biden exit the race because of the way he performed but didn't move the polls much. >> harris: why did your side of the aisle kick him out or at least capitulated to something that looks like that? >> i think there is a whole bunch of reasons for that, right? we believe in president biden and are excited about him but he didn't have the energy to take that to donald trump. we saw that with kamala harris. she did really well in that debate and there is a lot of talk about not understanding kamala harris's platform, policies and where she stands. push her for another debate. i don't understand why donald trump -- >> harris: why can't we get her to sit down with somebody other than abc news? what i experienced behind the curtain, was doing some things that really need to be

questioned now. abc news. then abc news at the debate and now abc news a filliate is the one place she sits down. a host of other people to take questions from. >> have rules established but have the candidates debate. there is a lot of talk about kamala harris >> harris: she needs a news conference, too. >> i will say it's ironic to defend biden as not having enough energy. you were on air two days before joe biden dropped out insisting that joe biden was about to have a comeback moment. so forgive me if i take your political analysis with a massive mountain of salt. >> we should have the debates go forward. >> harris: she should have interviews and news conferences that aren't scripted. vice president kamala harris says we have a broken immigration system. who let her know? we have yet to hear answers on how she plans to fix it as president, which she didn't do

even though the president put her in charge of it for the last 3 1/2 years. you can youtube that, there is video saying that. republicans are blaming democrats' rhetoric for both assassination attempts on former president trump's life. >> what do they think the consequences of this is going to be? this victim shaming and blaming is outrageous, unconscionable. >> harris: we've been watching it some of the liberal media in the last day blaming the victim. that a would be assassin was targeting. we know at least twice. alveda king, fox news contributor, niece of dr. martin luther king junior in "focus" with me next. great to see her. td felt embarrassing. i felt like disconnecting. i asked my doctor about treating my td,

we are praying for you, psalm19:one. >> to the second assassination attempt it is time for christians left and right, red, blue, black, white come together to pray for this nation, to pray for the political process without any violence. it is what american needs. we need all believers on their knees asking god for all candidates to be safe. >> harris: that brings me back to my point. this is for the entire nation. we could not take this kind of violence that your family has suffered mightily and we pray for your continued healing and your family's as well. we could not take that as a nation. it breaks us. >> absolutely. harris, we have two hands, two ears, two eyes, we breathe through our nostrils.

left and right, stop fighting. stop contending and stop blaming each other. it is unconscionable that a president of this united states be shot at twice publicly and people know it and yet we are still confused in fighting. let's stop the hate and the violence. let's come together. let's unify. i'm so glad the sheriff told the truth about what really happened. somebody was really trying to shoot my friend. it broke my heart, and i am praying. i am praying. >> harris: we all are praying for america right now. it needs our prayer. alveda king, always great to talk with you. a different perspective on this first monday after the attempt on president trump's life a second time. good to see you. thank you. another day, another reversal from vice president kamala harris. we talked about how we've seen some flip-flops before. there is another one now. this time it is on spending

taxpayer dollars on gender reassignment surgeries for detainees, even illegal immigrants. that's right, people in prison. plus an urgent call for action on the criminals illegally crossing the border into our country. >> we have gang warfare breaking out in cities across america. foreign gangs taking over apartment complexes or hotels or threatening to do so. now you have other gangs from places like venezuela like ms-13 on steroids. >> harris: all right. we want to go now to the county sheriff right now. i will ask my team to fill in the blanks on this. he is speaking right now. on the assassination attempt of donald trump. let's watch. >> we have this big heavy duty f-250s with bumpers and surround the vehicle and force it to a stop.

maneuvered it off the interstate. we have two concerns. our primary concern, no matter what happens, is the safety of the motoring public. we don't want to create a situation in a high speed chase or shoot-out and there are innocent people. that's always our first concern. and so with that concern in mind, we followed our procedure. get the car to stop. don't give it a chance to run, and the onus is on the driver. if he had not stopped it would have been a mess out there. >> i believe, you mentioned license plate readers and that is how they determined this guy was going north on 95. did you guys use this license plate technology as well? >> did we use license plate technology. my practice is never to mention methodologies or sources, resources.

we didn't have to in this case. they had already told us what to do look and that's all we needed. gave us the vehicle description and the tag so we were on it. think about this, it's weekend traffic on i-95. thank god we found that car and were able to give -- i think we were able to give former president trump a piece of mind. the men and women involved in the stop to go to mar-a-lago and be thankful for what he did. >> trump extended that invitation? >> he did. >> are you aware where deputies spotted the vehicle? >> we originally picked the vehicle up somewhere around the palm city exit so that would be 714. and it took us about two miles to get all the resources in play so we could surround that vehicle and force it to a stop. >> how were you driving --

>> how was he driving? he was smart. he was just driving with the flow of traffic. i think that he may have thought he got away with it. of course, he couldn't have known there was a witness who really did the right thing and took a picture of him and the tag. he may have thought he got away with it. of course, he couldn't have known there was a witness who really did the right thing and took a picture of him, took a picture of the tag. he was just going to drive himself back to wherever he came from. >> to your knowledge did he have any times to martin county or the coast? >> to my knowledge does have any ties to martin county? he is not from this area is what we're finding out. that raises the bigger question, how does a guy from not here get all the way to trump

international, realize that the president, former president of the united states is golfing, is able to get a rifle in that vicinity? i think that's the question the f.b.i., secret service are laser focused on today. is this guy part of a conspiracy, a lone gunman? if he is a lone gunman president trump is that much safer because we have him. if he is part of a conspiracy then this whole thing takes on a very ominous tone. >> you mentioned the witness a few seconds ago. please let us know if you see this. that one witness made possible what you guys did. >> that's good. your comment and question. did the one witness make it all possible. the answer is yes. think a minute. let's say he got down there, attempted to assassination. nobody sees him and he gets away. actually he would have gotten away but a civilian saw him and they still would be looking for him now.

they would first be doing fingerprints, all the things that we do and then we would have had to find him. that witness deserves a lot of credit. >> what is going through your mind at this time? you said this is probably the most high profile situation in our county with this suspect, the sheriff, what's going through your mind saying hey, this actually happened in our county? >> what's going through my mind as sheriff as we made this stuff. this is a once in a lifetime event. how many people get a shot off at the former president of the united states? the poor guy has already been shot once and then for that suspect to come into this county. i already had somebody asking me does it feel like the harvey oswald and jack ruby situation where, you know, the dallas police and they catch the assassin in that case of john f.

kennedy. i feel like that without being hyperbolic, this type of history and -- but the credit again, i have to stress, the credit goes to those road patrol officers who made the stop and took the chance. >> do you know where exactly on 95, where the actual -- where things ended? >> where did things actually end? we picked the car up at the 110 mile marker. two miles later northbound by which time we shut down all northbound traffic. units on i-95 slowing everybody down and within two miles of the 110. right about the 112 we were able to make the stop and neutralize the subject. >> do you have video? >> yeah, we have body camera.

>> when he was pulled over? >> i'm not sure that we do. unless it was a traffic unit, we don't have dash mounts. we have body -- only the traffic units have the dash cam for the duis. i don't know that we actually have the video of the stop other than the body cameras were all activated. you have seen you get a picture of the steering wheel of the cop. you've all seen it. >> due guys have a helicopter involved in that? >> our helicopter never had to go airborne. another helicopter was overhead right away. they sent a bomb disposal dog and swept the car to make sure it was safe. everybody played a hand. yes, we caught him but everybody -- this was a team effort. >> you said bomb sniffing dogs. not like they were big trucks the bomb disposal.

>> no, the bomb sniffing canine dog. >> okay. >> thank you very much. i've been in front of tmz, special edition, fox news, you all are the most important. i want to make sure you got your questions answered. god bless you all. have a great day. >> thank you, sir. thank you for your time, sir. >> harris: all right. even more detail now. that was sheriff snyder of martin county in florida. he said the weekend traffic was thick. thank god we found that car, giving credit to the road patrol officers who got the call at mile marker 110 and within two miles along that highway they picked up the suspect, the would be assassin in the second attempted assassination of president trump. so we did get some more detail. i want to bring into "focus" seattle radio host jason rantz. let's kind of drill this down to

what we do know and what kind of spikes in terms of the conversations you are having with your listeners. >> obviously it happened over the weekend. i haven't been on yet but seen a lot of commentary online and social media. specifically asking about what we don't know. we know some of the basics. but one of the biggest issues is not even necessarily motive. a lot of us can surmise that based on comments made by this individual on social media but how he got to the point where he was able to get that close with a weapon? how was he able to get there? what exactly is it about the staffing with the secret service that is standing in the way? is it truly just about not having enough staff, not having a large enough budget? most people can reasonably ask a question as to whether or not we're letting our guards down just a little bit when it comes to this particular candidate simply because he is the candidate. i understand this is a golf course that is a little bit different than some of the others where it's semi public, a

lot of businesses nearby and you don't necessarily offer the exact same level of protection to a candidate even if he is, in fact, a former president. but he already survived an assassination attempt. you would expect that that would be the catalyst to maybe step up and give him just a little bit more so that something like this doesn't happen. >> harris: inherent in your question is the idea what happens when there are other possibilities for there to be a rally or motorcade going by? we ask people to step back and close and do those things all the time to make it safe for current president and vice president regardless of party. that's how it is. after an assassination attempt, here is my number one question. after the first assassination attempt on july 13th, why wasn't president trump at that point elevated to the stature protection-wise? one of my guests called it the protection mission. why didn't it 0 in on maybe

calling him something more equivalent to someone who would need a higher level of protection because they were in or had served office? there is a difference between having served and in it. when you have had an attempt on your life why isn't that a game changer at that point? >> well, here is the exact question that should be asked and i imagine that part of the investigation will find this out. what changed between the two assassination attempts? meaning what did they do different? specifically what did they have different post first assassination attempt. they have to tell us. >> harris: i still know, however, they are missing 1500 staff members because everybody is quick to tell you how understaffed they are. did they hire 15 or 25 people? we need to drill down on that. in the meantime there is something else going on that is in the top one to three issues for voters this fall. texas governor greg abbott will soon speak in houston, texas, in a few minutes about the ongoing

border crisis that has crippled his state and many others because of wider crime and sex trafficking and drugs. we expect him to address the dangerous venezuelan gang expanding its reach into the united states. and then fanning out across the every state. el paso, texas, the tren de aragua or tda as it is called. the members for that. we keep watching this video forced a hotel to shut down after police were called there 700 times. surveillance video shows gang members wielding knives and partying. we're told they fired guns inside that structure. reports of similar events popped up all over from denver, colorado, to chicago to new york and miami down in florida. jason. >> what we have going on here is incredibly important to understand we've been told for the longest time it wasn't actually happening. yet for the last several years

we've been having stories on fox news and a lot of the social media that it is happening. thousands of people screaming across the border. left wing media saying nothing to see here. it ballooned into the crisis, this administration allowed it to. >> harris: what are next steps? we aren't hearing from the vice president in charge of the border. hasn't done anything in 3 1/2 years. what is she accepted to do now? >> well, she should actually step up and say here is a plan that i'm going to put in place day one, explain why you didn't put it in place yet. which is why she won't answer that question unless these local reporters will push her on that and ask a follow-up and not allow her to just get away. we'll never get an answer. >> harris: jason rantz, good to see you and have you in "focus."
