1:01 am
tonight. it is staggering to believe that yesterday for second time in last few months an individual was planning to assassinate president trump. tonight we'll cover the story and political ramifications. we want to emphasize these attacks on president trump represent a major threat to the american system. when she was shot in pennsylvania, i warned the night of the attempt on his life that the entire system that we've gotten accustomed to loving has gotten -- releasing all findings and recommendations. that did not happen and now we face the fallout from another attempted shooting. my angle in moments. but first, start with what we know about this suspect. david spunt suspect standing by live with details.
1:02 am
>> ryan wesley routh is facing possession of firearm by a convicted felon and with a scratched off serial number. he is placed at the scene from 1:59 a.m. to 12 hours. there was a news conference and they said it may be time to change the protective play book of the agency. watch. >> i'm confident we will achieve that. we don't have an alternative. suc success, we having to have it everyday. we cannot have failures. to do that, we'll have hard conversations with congress. >> about funding, director rose said they need to look at protective methodology and get out of reactive model and get into a readiness model. the united states could get in a
1:03 am
conflict where secret service need additional responsibilities. investigators are looking through ryan wesley routh's cell phone, gofro and his car. he lives in hawaii. the fbi says it does not appear anyone else was involved in his plans. routh was laughing and looking around talking to his public defender. he says he understands his charges. these charges were enough for the government to keep him in custody. there were high-level discussions to add more charges, these were quickest to write up. rank and file praising the agent there one hole ahead of former president trump who saw a muzzle of a gun sticking out of the bushes and alerted them to the entire thing. >> laura: david, thank you.
1:04 am
last time the sloped roof, what was it this time? >> the golf course is surrounded by shrubbery. >> laura: old shrubbery, darn l lands landscaper's fault. thank god an agent spotted the barrel sticking out of the bushes. what if he hadn't? there was this. >> he is not the president, security is limited to area secret service deems possible. >> laura: why hasn't he been given proper number of agents or told golfing in the open is unsafe until and unless he wins the presidency? >> i would machining next time he comes to the golf course
1:05 am
there will be more people around the perimeter. >> laura: how comforting. trump's life was in jeopardy because of failure to secure the area surrounding him. we have questions tonight. joining me now is chris swecker and frank loverag. frank, start with you, this video of president golfing was taken six years ago. you see many photographers have gotten similar photos through the trees. isn't this an obvious vu vulnerability and could it not have been raised before? >> thank you for having me on, you are right. protective operations and i have been to andrews air force base golfing. you have a team going out in advance, detail and shift with the president and other tactical teams, as well, and a team behind you. you move throughout the golf as
1:06 am
you proceed further >> there should have been a team, csu team moving with him to make sure there is nothing on the other side of the fence or in the shrubbery. he was there for 12 hours. he may not have been in the shrubbery, but in the area. why wasn't he detected by a team doing the sweep? did they just miss him? >> laura: i want to play something ronald rose said about protective methodology of the secret service. watch. >> the subject who did not have line of sight to the former president fled the scene. he did not fire or get off any shots at our agents. >> with reports of gunfire, close protection detail evacuated the president to a safe location. protective methodologies were effective yesterday.
1:07 am
>> laura: chris, thoughts about that. it was effective series of methodologies. >> every time the acting director goes on and lectures us about how effective their methodologies are, a lot of people get more and more skeptical. in this case, one alert secret service agent did the right thing and took the shot. if this is not a resource problem. he said they had all resources they needed out there. it is not a resource problem. less than half of their budget is devoted to protection temperature is all about catching up with today's metho methodologies that are much more proactive and he pointed that out and blamed lack of resources. that is a cop out. agencies deal with not enough resources all the time, you have to p pry /* prioritize where
1:08 am
resources need to go. >> laura: frank, when you look at the and i know this area well, i've been to this club a number of times. it seems to me it is fairly obviouses if it is not a wall, it will have a porous perimeter and it would seem again, if you cannot secure the perimeter of where the former president is, it wasn't effective. it is not the landscaper's fault or trump's fault or this is a br breakdown in basic mission of the secret service and this press conference today, i was outraged by it. patting each other on the back. thank god we did see the muzzle. that guy should have never gotten in those bushes.
1:09 am
>> laura, he was 300 to 500 yards from the president, as the president progressed further, he would have been closer. did they treat this as off movement and we also have on the record movement. off the record movement is when we don't tell people we're going there. he could have thought, it is sunday afternoon, president trump will be at the golf course. we did not have the critical race theory resources, nobody would have spotted the assailant and we would have gotten him before he got to the street line. >> laura: simple question, chris, how many agents does kamala harris have with her? how many does trump have with him? maybe the same number? is that relevant given their
1:10 am
different movement? she does not seem to go out in as many crowds as he does. certainly does not golf. those are basic questions. i don't believe we have answers to those and this is the second attempt on his life. >> yeah, we'll never be given the numbers, they may give them to congress in closed session. it is not a resource issue, i will say again. this is methodology issue, this is a mindset, a leadership issue. until we start looking at that, not sure we will see a lot of change. i go after the fbi in the same manner, it is leadership, leadership we deal with at the bureau. i don't like criticizing federal agencies but the mindset has to change. this is 2024 and things are different from 20 years ago. >> laura: nut bag guy able to hide in ush abouts, bring
1:11 am
backpacks, long-range weapon and could have got ebb a shot off. he did not have the president in his sights? that is supposed to make us feel better. frank, does that make you feel better? and he was chased off? >> it does not. did we have assets we needed? did we have helicopter and flare involved? we could have pointed this person out. were there drones flying in the area to pick this person up. these are assets the president's team gets. i was on detail, i president needs that. there is more threat against president trump. we had an individual on july 12th arrested with ties to iran and more threats coming out against former president trump,

1:17 am
>> laura: from joyful to vengeful, that is the focus of tonight's angle.>> do not think for a minute that they didn't know the power of their words. >> that man cannot see public office again. he is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated. >> let me know who i have to vote for to keep hitler out of the white house. >> talk to social media and highlighted language from nazi germany. this is unsurprising coming from the former president and it is afth ap appalling. >> laura: angle warned about their rhetoric. >> laura: if he is dictator or
1:18 am
auto accurate, they called him hitler, they will justify anything to stopng hitler, of course, anything. indeed liz cheney indicated di patriots need to step up and t ensureak donald trump does not t close to the white house again. >> i will do whatever it takes to make sure donald trump is t never near the oval office.near >> make sure donald trump is nowhere near the oval office so ever i again, that commitment remains. i will do whatever i need to do to make sure that is the case. >> laura: whatever it takes. what does she mean by that? clearl wy the accused gunman wa ons with that. vp rhetoric that has become increasingly accepted on the left since i really think starting in 2015. now, obviously, ryan wesley routh hasn't been convinced that the debate ended trump's chances. so it seems like he had to take
1:19 am
matters into his own hands. >> i would think this guy was extremely motivated and probably spurred on by most of the political diatribes going on these days talking about trump, equating him to hitler and things like this. i don't think this is the last we will see of crazies out there doing this. >> laura: well, americans, i don't think want to believe that leaders in our government are asleep at the switch or even worse purposefully under estimating or stoking or even allowing real attempts on trump's life. but now there have been two incidents. now, if someone is allowed to get near president trump with a gun, it will be hard to put humpty dumpty back together again. meaning our faith in the government. and it brings to mind an old ian fleming quote from the book gold finger. once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. now, it's gotten so bad that a sitting u.s. senator is publicly
1:20 am
expressing his deep reservations about the federal response. utah senator mike lee wrote on x: thank you, governor desantis, for investigating the attempted assassination of donald trump in florida. we can't trust the feds but we trust you. well, lee is 100 percent justified in feeling this way. think about this. think about how little we know two months later about the first shooter, thomas crooks. he was killed by a sniper after he managed to gets off his own shots at donald trump. but, we know so little about him. it's like we don't even talk about it anymore. anyone else find that odd? is it unreasonable at this point for millions of americans to believe that the investigation is being slow walked? or maybe purposefully stalled or information purposefully withhold? now, as i said on the night of july 13th, just hours after trump was grazed by that bullet, in the absence of information,
1:21 am
conspiracy theories continue to run wild. and rather than pushing for more information, demanding answers, our corporate media, well, it just makes matters worse. they will ignore, they will down play the danger posed by crazed leftists, claiming that even if the wannabe killers are repeating anti-trump mantras, that doesn't mean it's in any way connected to kamala harris. >> we don't know much about this guy yet at all. other than he was somebody who was trying to find a way in his mid to late 50's go and serve on the front lines of ukraine and he obviously had some anti-trump posts. but, that has nothing to do with kamala harris and joe biden it. has to do with the fact that this is his political belief. >> laura: now, why is it, dana bash's job to try to defend the
1:22 am
harris-walz campaign here? she crashed and burned when she tried to debate j.d. vance over the weekend. this was even worse. so, isn't she -- i think, supposed to be an objective anchor who is supposed to figure out the truth? maybe ask the harris campaign if they would like to reconsider how they answered this question after the first assassination attempt. >> how is the rhetoric changed in light of the assassination attempt with being here at the rnc and representing the dnc and biden-harris administration. >> it hasn't changed. >> laura: it hasn't changed. trump is still a dictator in waiting. it was disappointing but not surprising. then we heard at the dnc and at the debate kamala harris insisted that she would reach out and try to bring the country together. >> we are charting a new way forward. we are all in this together. in unity there is strength. it is important that we move forward, that we turn the page
1:23 am
on this same old tired rhetoric and address the needs of the american people. >> laura: but saturday all we got from her was a tepid, rather generic sounding statement released on social media. well, today who has little better political judgment than harris was a little more emphatic underline a little bit. >> let me just say there is no -- and i mean this from the bottom of my heart those of you who know me. no place for political violence in america. none. zero. never. [applause] i have always condemned political violence. i always will in america. in america we resolve our difference peacefully at the ballot box not at the end of a gun. >> laura: but none of this is enough. after all a year ago biden himself was taking the temperature up. allowing the doj go wild and after trump.
1:24 am
all this stuff president trump and dark brandon and still biden is out. haters i think she is still making the same mistake he did. >> maga forces are determined to take this country backwards. they promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence. that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law. to the very soul of this country. >> laura: now, how sick is that looking back? trump was fanning the flames of violence? where exactly at the pro-hamas protest or was he doing that after the george floyd or justice kavanaugh's home? i was thinking about this today. if harris and biden really want to end the conspiracy theories bring the country together, all this unity stuff. harris needs to make a much more
1:25 am
vigorous stance here. and do you know what would speak volumes? why not invite former president trump to the white house could all meet in the oval, an executive decision has been made to ensure that donald trump has all the protection he would have if he were a sitting president of the united states. s the up shot from biden and harris would be be we are all americans. if you attack one of us, you attack all of us. there are 45 people who have held the office of presidency, trump is one of them. he and all americans need to know that we are 100 percent committed to ensuring his safety and his security. his running mate is vice president harris and walz, all of them must be safe. maybe at times say our rhetoric has got too heated. bee should tone that down, too. and of course say we are going to be totally transparent. expedite all investigations with
1:26 am
factual conclusions not political conclusions and recommendations that are clear and accountability that is just unquestionable. nowrges we're not going to do this in months. we're going to do this in weeks. and why not say this is america, the voters must be the ones who determine the outcome in november. not an assassin's bullet, period. now, given that the also have to dial back their own trump is a dictator nonsense this probably won't happen. but it should both sides can make it about the issues but it's not just the election that's at stake here. how this moment is handled effects the credibility of the entire u.s. government if harris were smart and i know that might be a big ask. her number one priority would be to make it known nationally and throughout the world that everything in the federal government's power will be done will be done to keep donald trump safe. and that's the angle. joining n.i.e. me now missouri
1:27 am
senator josh hawley. senator today, the u.s. secret service and other officials came out and said that the methodologies that were put in place on sunday were effective. the shooter did not get the president in his line of sight. he was chased off and he was apprehended. and your response? >> well, i don't know how you can say it's effective when the shooter was able to be there on that golf course for 12 hours, laura. this is a course that the president plays on a regular basis by the way. it's not lining it's some new place that he parachuted into. he lives right next door. the shear is there for 12 hours answered doesn't notice. what is going on here? a pattern that we saw dating back to the butler rally when that shooter was allowed to get on that roof top and there is supposed to be law enforcement there and they weren't and there is supposed it be law enforcement on that perimeter and they weren't. so, we have a problem here to say the least. and i think it's time for secret service to tell us what is going
1:28 am
on. why all of these failings, and what are they going to do about it? >> laura: we hear we have the resources. president biden had a cordial conversation with president trump. i actually think it's really good that he reached out. i think he should bring president trump in and they really should do a joint appearance to reassure the country because people are -- this happens again? and i said it in the angle, i don't think humidity at this dumpty gets put back together. you are going to shatter whatever is left of the trust that the people have in the fbi and the secret service i think it's important to remember that the butler rally questions that this whistleblower and this whistleblower report that just came out raised those are still outstanding. some of what you have discovered and brought to light in this whistleblower report is just devastating about why that roof was not secured before the president went out to speak.
1:29 am
>> the facts are devastating, laura. and there are no answers to them. this is the problem. the secret service at this remove of two month still not answered the basic questions why wasn't the roof secured? we know the site plan called for there to be a security perimeter around that building. there wasn't one. they called for there to be law enforcement on top of the roof. they weren't there just like this guy at the perimeter of the gulf coast for 12 hours. whgolfclub -- why didn't they st beforehand. the same set of questions repeating itself over again. we haven't gotten answers to the first questions. declaring victory excuse me you haven't told us anything about what happened two months ago. they are slow-walking at best, stone walking if not stonewalling congress' request for documents. they owe the american people an accounting what happened in july just like they owe them an accounting of what happened over the weekend. >> laura: we don't know whose job it was. there must have been one or two
1:30 am
individuals whose job it was to secure that roof. and in this whistleblower report, we discover that the issue of the oppressive heat. the temperature in the summer was a factor in not getting the roof actually monitored and secured? is that right? >> it absolutely is ridiculous. that is indeed what whistleblowers tell me, laura. what they say is that the plan, the security plan called for there to be law enforcement on the roof. and law enforcement around the building at butler. there were neither. there was nobody on the roof, except for the shooter. and there was nobody around the perimeter of the building and, yes, the excuse was well, it was awfully hot that day. well, so, because of that, the former president is shot in the face and a good man is dead? that's the answer? come on, where are the answers here? why were there not law enforcement there? why weren't they putting their best people on this detail? we also know from whistleblowers that the lead site agent is
1:31 am
someone who is not trusted by other street service agents, who was not highly regarded in the service and didn't know what she was doing. why are these people running security for a former president, and a current major party nominee? it's all inexplicable. the longer we go without real answers, laura, the worse it gets. >> laura: and if dei is part of what is factoring in here, or diversity, you know, check boxes, then that's a real problem. and i think the less we know the more we can ai'm assume the facts are bad for the fbi and the screefts service. senator, thank you so much. all right. the left's vile reaction to what happened yesterday, a second attempt on president trump's life. so who are these people and what does it reveal about who they really are deep down? that's next. ♪ what do people want more of? more “oh yeah!” more laughs. more hang outs. more “mmmmm, so good!”
1:32 am
1:37 am
>> laura: of all the attempts to try to divert attention away from pattern of violence by these crazed lunatics, this was among the most pathetic. >> amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself. donald trump and j.d. vance make baseless claims. >> do you expect to hear anything from the trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric and violence or is that atypical of the former president. >> i would love to have a unity-type moment, i think it is fleeting, as we have seen in the p past. ty. you certainly can't have credibility >> laura: you can't have d
1:38 am
dictator in waiting. are unity and joy found in what hakeem jeffries tweeted just hours after the shooting saying extreme maga republicans are national abortion ban and project 2025, we must stop them. must stop them. trump has disavowed project 2025 and they don't care, they have nothing else. b baseless fearmongering. trump must be stopped. maybe dana bash can ask hakeem jeffries what does he member by that? how far should people go to stop hitler? and national -- concerned about his safety, they are the problem and they should shut up and let experts handle it. writing trump is having his opponent to nullify his argument and cast trump as a victim.
1:39 am
joining me now is byron donalds. it is a shock wash"washington p is cratering in readership. we've heard a lot about donald trump from the leftist leading up to this second assassination attempt including from a well-known commentator keith boykin, he says if trump is popular, it is because of racism. >> the majority of white people supported donald trump, they support him. if it were up to black people and latinos, he would lose in a landslide, he protectses white supremacy. >> laura: congressman, that is stuff these crazed lunatics are marinating in. >> laura, listening to keith
1:40 am
boykin is listening to hysteria from democratic party and radical left. kamala harris is losing black voters because of the economy and losing hispanic voters because of the border. they want to throw out race as the reason. their policies are a disaster, their rhetoric dangerous and leadership nonxexistent. that is why donald trump is popular and why i think he's going to win. this is reason you have crazies from the left who are attempting to assassinate him. rhetoric is out of control and dangerous and we'll not be lectured to to by keith boykin. clean up your own house before you come talk to us. >> laura: one thing liz cheney
1:41 am
keeps saying, she will do "whatever it takes" to stop donald trump. and that comes on the heels of stalin, hitler, every dictator who ever lived. if they actually mean that, then why aren't they pressed into having to answer, why wouldn't an assassination attempt against hitler be applauded. if you believe that about him, where did you think this was going to go. >> you are absolutely right. truth is, they will never answer. radical media, by the way, demonstrated by how one-sided the debate last week was, coupled by they are in the tank for radicals in d.c. who want an elite agenda, not for the american people. they will never answer for how disastrous their rhetoric has been.
1:42 am
>> laura: do you think kamala's issued statement, where she said no place for violence in america or she is glad donald trump is safe, was that sufficient? >> no. what she should do is go through the adcampaign they are running in battleground states, being destructive of democracy, all the lies, project 2025 and all that stuff should come down. stick to the facts and policy. in in my view, they will not change. >> laura: thank you. coming up battle of word salad, kamala and tim say they care about the middle class. we'll let you decide, that is next. now is true: no matter race, gender, ethnicity... the need to screen when due... for colon cancer's a priority. indeed! everyone 45+ at average risk should screen for colon cancer. these folks are getting it done at home with me, cologuard. cologuard is a one-of-a-kind way to screen for colon cancer that's effective and non-invasive.
