los angeles and this is america's late news, fox news at night or to breaking tonight, talking about being treated differently the national association of black journalists just offered up softball questions to kamala harris. the very same group that offered up cannonball questions to donald trump. even though the vice president got a free pass, she still could not answer are you better off today than you were four years ago. >> when we came in, let me say its good to be at the national association of black journalists. as it relates to covid and january sixth. is the price of groceries still too high? yes. do we have more work to do? yes. i offer a new generation of leadership for our country. we have a shortage of housing supply.

i grew up a middle-class kid. my mother was hardworking. i know where i come from. kino. >> trace: meantime donald trump posting a town hall tonight speaking to voters in the auto manufacturing community of flint, michigan. the senior national correspondent kevin corke is live with more on the first public appearance since the apparent second assassination attempt on his life. >> what's becoming an all-too-familiar site, mr. trump back on the campaign trail just days after yet another attempt on his life. this time in the greats of michigan. he won back in 2016 and narrowly lost in 2020. this time again singing a few familiar refrain to. of over him will help restore the states auto industry, bring back jobs and heal the economy. >> the bottom line, we're going

to bring more plants into your state and this country to make automobiles. we are going to be bigger than before. >> however, the former president still finds himself trailing the vice president in michigan, at least according to the latest power ranking, though he continues to lead or is within the margin of error and -- in every other swing state. as for the bp, she largely stuck to her talking points. aborting to the -- avoiding the answer to the question, she also went past queries about gaza, israel, reparations and what policies she would implement that would be different from joe biden meantime the former president gave his opponent a shout out today. he said that she called him to express well wishes following that harrowing event on sunday.

the former president said it was very nice and we appreciate that >> trace: good to hear. kevin thank you. let's bring in caeli mckay white and... welcome to you both. elites you first, the left is so married to this threat narrative here. today when they were asking about it, she said this. >> how many more assassination attempts on donald trump until the president and the vice president and you pick a different word to describe trump other than threat. >> the question that you are asking is also incredibly dangerous in the way that you are asking it. american people are watching. >> trace: we can say whatever we want to, you cannot even ask us that question. >> it's so hypocritical. the reason why the left and the democrats refused to apologize

for their rhetoric that they use about donald trump's because they have nothing else to run on. this is the entire campaign. but also because division is at the very core of leftist ideology. we could go through any number of cultural examples in recent years. think about race, gender. all of the movements in these areas are meant to divide people. so this rhetoric is just a necessary consequence of what they believe, which is why they can't disown it. they will blame donald trump for almost getting shot because that is what they believe. >> it's very hard for them to run away with this. this is kamala harris, her response on july 24th and now she says... here's what she said less than two months ago. >> donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy and our most fundamental freedoms. remember that chaos, the division, the attacks that took

rights and liberties from the american people. we cannot allow that to happen again. >> trace: >> that's pretty definitive and she's talking to a lot of people that are going to take that to the extreme of what they are thinking about. the big lie with the biden administration and a kamala harris is they would unite the country. didn't we just have a national convention where they said they were going to be joyful warriors? what's joyful about pointing at your opponent and saying he's a threat to the very existence of our country. that is not consistent with their message. it's a totally the opposite point of view. they seek division. >> trace: nate silver posted this. sheet now two to one favourite to win the popular vote but the electoral college is a toss-up. your thoughts?

>> it's going to be close no matter what but i think about trump's campaign rally tonight in michigan. it was in flint, michigan, which ... that's a county that voted for clinton in 2016 and biden in 2020. i had friends who attended a rally and they said it was a massive turnout with a very long line to get in. now the size of campaign rallies isn't everything but it does go to show that trump has a lot of momentum heading in his favour in these critical swing states. are not sure if i believe it's going to be a toss-up and might be a bigger one for him and some people think. >> trace: they say the debate cause you to reconsider support 3%. and some doubt, unchanged 8% p or did not raise doubts 71%. that 3% number is a lot smaller than the democrats anticipated.

>> the fact-checking, it didn't go so well for her and i think people are left, she said go look at my plan and then you go to the internet and ask what's her plan, she doesn't have a plan. she's an empty suit that way. people figured out that what she was telling them wasn't truthful and she doesn't actually really have a plan and she's not taking tough questions. what you supposed to believe about her? we haven't had a chance to understand that plan. >> we don't know anything about the way she explains herself today. thank you both. >> i believe it was our duty to ask the issues that americans care about. of the economy, are we better off than we were. what are you going to do about the border, why did you wait so long? those types of questions. these are all really important issues. the issues of our time. you have to be ready for whatever might come your way in the most unexpected of moments.

you know what i'm talking about. i will say this. all of the noise that you hear about which candidate won the debate, moderators win or lose, that's just noise. >> trace: dismissing criticisms of his performance as cohost of last week's debate. let's bring in former clinton visor and now the ceo of... welcome to the show, i think it's her first time on. we are grateful to have you on here. it's not like you are privy to some dark secret about the debate on abc, i'm curious to know why is that you think there should be a full investigation into this debate? >> what i was asked is what do i think abc should do. i think abc should get an independent law firm, have them review all these decisions, did they make a decision to fact-check one candidate, did they tell -- telegraph that to

anybody? i don't really know. i think 60 or 70 million people saw that one candidate was fact-checked, i mother wasn't and if you're going to have a debate, moderators should be moderators, nonparticipants. otherwise it deprives the voters of a fair chance to see a debate. imagine if in the debate against biden, they had done the same thing and fact-checked trump. biden might still be the nominee. give the voters a fair chance, get out of the way and let the candidates have a debate. >> trace: when not just do an investigation and say there's been a lot of static about this, we want to clear the record. >> if i were abc or disney i would do that just to clear the record because this is a divided country and you don't want questions. cnn, it was up to the debaters to win or lose that debate and i think people came away surprised i think that's not the way people came away from the abc debate.

>> trace: it's interesting because you say this campaign cycle kind of falls way short of the policy conversation that is essential to the robust democratic process. why is that? >> i'm an old-school campaigner. i wish there were three debates. i wish they were robust policy papers. i think candidates should talk to the press every couple of days, and take questions. you were going to have a 6 trillion-dollar budget, you are going to control thousands of nuclear weapons, you have to be able to have the rough and tumble of a campaign in an open process. i think you want the voters to be as informed about the candidates as possible that's what your vote means. it means you've got some information and you cast a vote. >> trace: in your most recent pulling are you seeing any big movement or any surprises at all? >> you've seen a clear shift towards harris.

all these polls are half-and-half peer can my last poll came out 50/50. this race is not over. there's about 19% who still haven't made up their mind yet. they are going to be looking at both of these candidates. anyone who tells you they know how this race is going to come out is flipping a coin. >> great to see you. thank you sir. >> thank you. >> trace: 58 days since kamala harris emerged as the democratic nominee and still no formal press conference. they point out that donald trump has survived more assassination attempts then she has campaign interviews. marianne rafferty is live with that story tonight. >> despite sitting down for an interview with the national association of black journalists today, vice president kamala harris has proven to be mostly elusive to the press. harris has now done just two high-profile interviews since becoming the presumed democratic presidential nominee 58 days ago. that includes a sitdown with

dana basch and her running mate and today's discussion with the nab jay. she's also on... "the daily caller" opinion piece made a tongue-in-cheek comparison to the assassination attempts. it seemingly easier to threaten the life of a republican nominee that it is to interview the democratic one. almost the same thing goes for news conferences. trump told his -- held his third one since august, harris has done zero. they noted the continued lack of media access on the campaign trail. >> but is too afraid of from the american media. that is a disgrace. we should not promote her, we should say you are fired. >> the former campaign manager for barack obama and advisor to kamala harris recently explained the impact of appearances is more important than the number of them. he believes the engagements are

negative roi. guess we will have to see what happens in november. >> trace: thank you. nah the fox news in a common sense department things the summer of 2024 is somewhat reminiscent of the summer of 1992, a time where it seemed americans would buy anything that hollywood or madison avenue was selling. we fell in love with a show about nothing, the truth being out there add healthy junk food. when you ate snack wells you had the moral high ground because you were eating cake that was fat-free, indulgence without the weight gain or so we thought. common sense things kamala harris is the political equivalent of the cookies. instead of healthy junk food we get happy politics and the purveyor of these happy politics is offering up solutions without revealing answers.

just like snack wells, we are being promised important content but the -- given empty calories. back then we were told to forget about the sugar. preservatives and processed oils. and focus on the lack of fat. now we're being told to forget about the past and the present and focus on the future. they offered the fun without the fat harris is offering the joy without the genuine. common sense inks at least seinfeld made us laugh. "the x-files" made us think, it snack wells made us obese. the only thing the harris campaign took away was the constant... let's bring in tutor dixon along with republican strategist... thank you both for coming on. we are going to get to tutor dixon, but i want your take on david muir losing viewers at nbc

and then mark penn coming on our show saying abc should run a full investigation of what happened during this debate. >> they should. from the fact that losing nearly a million viewers is not nothing for them. it's not supposed to be partisan show, it's not supposed to be up london giving his opinion. what he did at the debate was not right. his viewers are telling him it was not right. abcs viewers are telling him they expect more from him and should do an investigation. >> trace: you talk about this heated rhetoric and hillary clinton was on msnbc, you talk about firing up the rhetoric. this is the former secretary of state of this country and she said this. >> i don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous trump is. his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world and to stick with it.

>> trace: she went on to tell a series of lies bill and i the former president -- villain i. >> what we saw is the exact result of the less rhetoric that they truly believe that donald trump is a threat to democracy. she called him a threat to our country she talked about prosecuting people for misinformation. such hypocrisy given the fact that she deleted 30,000 emails and also promoted the russia hoax. it's really sad to think that we've come to this state in the world where literally a day after the assassination attempts, hillary clinton is spewing these lies. >> trace: it's amazing, one trump was at the national association of black journalists he was asked, you have attacked black journalists.

kamala harris goes to the same group and she's asked this. >> i question that has been asked is whether or not voters are better off now than they were four years ago. are they better off now? >> softball after softball and yet again... just like with all of these different rallies, she did not answer the question. >> here you are at a gathering of journalists and it's journalistic malpractice do not go back to her and say i hate to tell you but you didn't answer the question. this time we are going to force you to answer the question. it happen the whole way through. she was given these and then she didn't answer them. even when she was asked about her own bill and ascendant, she she skirted that one and refuse to answer it and they didn't hold her accountable. the people are seeing through this. >> this is chris cuomo who is

now working for a different network but he went after the media for downplaying trump's attempted assassination. >> that reaction, don't make too much of it. he had an ak-47 pointed at him. the reaction is on acceptable. it's the second time media and political players have gotten away with playing down what should be a cause for panic. >> trace: you know what it reminds me of? member the first time eight months ago, the first time we heard some of these students and protesters saying from the river to the sea and we were like who would say that. it suddenly became normalized. it's the same thing here where the media can say assassination attempt, who cares and nobody cares. it's unbelievable how we normalize this. >> i couldn't agree with that comparison more as well as chris cuomo statements that americans are becoming unnerved to

assassination attempts. that's where we are. the fact is any mom with an ounce of humanity or patriotism needs to condemn what we saw two -- this past weekend and also the rhetoric. the rhetoric we saw, the left continues this narrative about the threat to democracy. they won't stop. >> trace: i'm like wow. thank you both. coming up, new details about the second assassination attempt on donald trump and later, hezbollah valves to retaliate after hundreds hundreds of handheld pagers used by the militant group simultaneously exploded. we have the video to match that. later, they will be holding a town hall in springfield, ohio, this thursday, two night from now, as the media and democrats of illinois residents and point

fingers at republicans for drawing attention to the tens of thousands of migrants flooding the small town. do residents have a right to be angry? we had one on the other night, she was angry. does she have that right and why? let us know. we will read your responses coming up in the nightcap. over here! otezla can help you get clearer skin and reduce itching and flaking. with no routine blood tests required. doctors have been prescribing otezla for over a decade. otezla is also approved to treat psoriatic arthritis. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen.

(♪♪) >> today a group of senators gathered to demand former

president trump get increased security no matter what it takes. calling trump of the energizer bunny who is not going to back down. >> we have 48 days, we need to take care of this president. he is different, he's going to do his job. he's going to go out and do his campaign and he's not going to sit in the basement. >> if we can't keep all of our candidates safe, then our entire system of government will be in peril. >> a look at these photos showing the gaping hole in the golf course fence where police say he was attempting to assassinate trump. unknown opening that even the proper rotc used to get photos of trump. today the former president thanked the deputies who caught and arrested the man accused of this second attempted assassination. it comes as the state of florida launches its own investigation. >> the federal government does not have jurisdiction to bring in attempted murder charge.

we have the ability to pursue essentially life in prison under state law. >> also vice president harris called trump for what was reportedly a corneal and brief conversation to say she's grateful he has safe and trump is staying out there, hosting that town hall in flint, michigan, tonight and a rally in new york tomorrow. >> trace: let's bring in nicole parker along with... thank you both for coming on. senator josh holly was talking to bill hammer earlier today and said this. >> whistle-blowers have told me that over a series of years, secret service leadership has steadily reduced, the number of agents available in the field. they are having to rely on homeland security agents who are not trained. >> trace: it seems on acceptable that part of this golf course were not covered, especially when you have one

that was used by paparazzi. >> we all know that law enforcement is -- the resources are strung out everywhere but that's no excuse when we understand that a threat could possibly be there and we've had people like paparazzi there before. if you understand that there is some sort of possibility that someone can get in, you have to go after that and make sure that it's secure. >> it's interesting because the acting secret service director ronald rowe said this on resources today. >> we need to look at what our productive methodology is. we need to get out of a reactive model and get to a readiness model. >> trace: he's basically saying they weren't ready. they are not ready and they need to be ready. >> that's right. they are very much in a reactive mode. they've got to be in a proactive mode. i watch this press conference on

monday and i thought it was interesting that he said this was an off record movement. almost blaming trump that they weren't able to do a sweep in advance because it was an off record movement. that's your job, you are the secret service. need to be able to get in there quickly, do a sweep, check the perimeter but thank goodness for the one agent or the individual agent who saw the muzzle sticking out through the fence and took immediate action and engage the threat in this environment is very difficult for law enforcement officers to use deadly force because they are in pure that they are going to be scrutinized. that agent at the right thing and potentially saved president trump's life. >> it's unbelievable when you hear the president took a walk in, we didn't expect them to take a walk so how are we going to protect him. a nurse in ukraine was talking about ryan ruth, the alleged attempted assassin. she warned the feds that he was a violent person. of red flags flying and it didn't pick up, would he think

about that? >> this is a prime case of the law enforcement resources that we have being diverted away towards their political agendas or serving the public in other ways that aren't really addressing the threats. they know that this guy was violent, he's been on the radar for the better part of two decades. we are not looking at him and we are not taking the threats seriously. law enforcement has been directed to do so many other things to fill agendas and to fit party lines that they are bypassing and overlooking some of these credible threats. >> trace: i wanted to get your take on this whole p. diddy situation. here's a u.s. attorney on the allegations of pd. >> he allegedly planned and controlled the performances which he called freak office. he often electronically recorded them. they sometimes lasted days at a

time. >> trace: he would bring sex workers from other states into these things and he would film it. it appears there could be a ton of evidence against him. he could be in big time trouble. >> that's absolutely fair. i've worked these types of investigations. it's a solid indictment. the evidences derrick,, there are videos of these. they seize this evidence when they are executing these warrants earlier in the year. i would say to p. diddy, of the gig is up, you've used your power and influence and authority for decades and these courageous survivors of these alleged heinous crimes have come forward and spoken up. this is there time for justice and this cannot, it will not be swept under the rug. the district is solid, they do solid work and this will not be another epstein part two. i believe this is the tip of the iceberg there.

there will be other conspirators that will be arrested. this is just beginning and those that are getting to the table first, they will cooperate as quickly as they can. >> i think you are right on that thank you both for coming on. >> thanks for having us. >> trace: you saw the person go down there wounded. thousands of people were wounded and 11 were killed when the pagers they used to communicate with each other all exploded at the same time. it's believed the victims were all members of the hezbollah terror group. israel being blamed for the core needed attack but is not commenting. let's bring in aaron cohen along with a former navy seal who trained with idf, and cameron hamilton. welcome to both of you. the atlantic writes the following here.

israel has been using digital technologies to target members of hezbollah for months. today's attack was unlike anything seen before and appears to have struck a new kind of blow. it maimed thousands of fighters and cripple the group's ability to respond if a broader conflict breaks out. so it injures fighters and prevents them from meeting up for another possible attack on israel if... >> i don't believe in coincidences. here's where i'm with this, this is the most significant strike of an history of modern warfare. [please stand by]

>> israeli intelligence planted the first ever explosive in the cell phone of a mastermind terrorist who is responsible for those bus bombings. this one is a monster. >> trace: hezbollah officials at the following, this is not a security targeting of one, of 23 people. this is a targeting of an entire nation. does this lead to a new offensive by hezbollah? >> israel is in a scenario... we've seen hezbollah make planning efforts to engage israel very directly.

it's really a remarkable feat. you talk about supply chain disruptions, so many different layers this had to be coordinator with. quite sophisticated. israel is trying to send a message, any place, any time, they are ready. >> i've got about 30 seconds for you. is israel saying we can find you? wherever you are? >> i agree with cameron 100% on that. i think israel is trying to stand and show psychologically they didn't... here's what i think really cooking. i think that israel, the land just announced that israel will be focused on the north of israel. i think this is israel setting a

mousetrap, setting off 2400 pagers, injuring these guys, hoping that hezbollah will counterstrike which will give the license to clean it out. they have to get the residence back in their homes. >> trace: i wanted to get your take on this. "new york times" had this headline. hamas is surviving, war with israel now it hopes to thrive in gaza again. you people are asking all over the world why is "the new york times" riding like they are proud of hamas for achieving things? this is nothing but propaganda. >> i think that's true. we are going to find a lot more of this because terrorists themselves, you've cover this for years. you've seen this region, terrorism is a lucrative business and i think we have many of the american media that purvey that same narrative. it's unfortunate. >> trace: thank you both. coming up, the bomb threat hopes

in springfield, ohio,, not lining up at the democratic narrative that claims republican rhetoric over the haitian migrant crisis be a new details about where the real threat is coming from next

>> trace: the media and democrats continuing to perpetuate the claim that donald trump is responsible for bomb threats in springfield, ohio,. >> there were children, elementary school children, who it was -- it was school photo day. you remember what that's like? going to school on picture day. who are dressed up in their best, god already the night before -- got all. >> trace:

>> we have received at least 33 separate bomb threats. each one of which has been responded to and each one of whom has been found as a hoax. >> trace: with that let's bring in the author of why bad looks good, wendy patrick along with kate munro. thank you both for coming on. foxnews.com writes the following. tom elliott's posted that media outlets spend at least 350 hours ... blaming trump for hoaxes and they know it's not true and they don't care that it's not true. >> they don't have to care that it's not true because there's no accountability whatsoever as you saw.

they go totally unchecked. you can do whatever you want. i've been through a bomb threat probably ten times and it happened when i was in school. we all got to go home early and those were fake. this seems like a lot of misdirection to me on the side of the left, not on the side of the right. they would go totally unchecked. they will apologize later night about five days from now. >> they said this... [please stand by] >> even if you are part of the admin's ration you know you're out there and spewing lies. you feel like that's a lie. >> it's also drawing attention

to something that they don't want to talk about which is the influx of migrants that have overwhelmed these towns. if you start talking about that you have to start talking about the good and bad scenarios. i call it border blend win you have so many people crossing, criminals are able to infiltrate so many other people that are crossing because it's safety in numbers. when we want to talk about communities, let's not just talk about rhetoric, let's talk about the reality that you used to have parks and playgrounds and now it's guns, gangs and drugs. >> trace: new york city had about 120,000 migrants coming in, this town has 58,000 and they had 20,000 come in, how do you handle that? the democrat from texas had this to say. >> springfield is going through but they are going through it because the guy that says that he wants to be the commander in chief is bringing that to their footsteps.

he decided to amplify a lie on a national debate stage and that is harming american citizens. that is a problem. >> my favourite phrase is he decided to amplify alive. trump decided, none of that is true. >> it's always trump's fault. they made a catchy jingle out of it. this is the state of our politics. they know it's already come out that they unequivocally are doing this to people's animals. everybody wanted to pretend and gaslight him, and they had to come back out and say we were wrong, they are. >> trace: "new york post" writes the following, quoting how migrant game became a vicious force across america. one time venezuelan prison gang has a ruptured into a multinational migrant crime syndicate that is ravaging the u.s. and is the subject of more than 100 police investigations across the nation. police are in a big disadvantage because they are fighting all of

these different laws and states and trying to go after people. >> not only are they fighting different laws in different states but indifferent sanctuary cities where they are not sharing information. it is hard enough when you have good investigation and information and tips and leads. when you have stayed arrests that don't need into federal detainer's its because sanctuary city policies are to blame. to draw attention to a city like springfield which is close to others think tri-cities, all you're doing is drawing attention to the statistics you mentioned where they are overwhelmed, understaffed and becoming overrun. >> trace: thank you both. democrats and the legacy media bill and i springfield, ohio, residents for their frustrations over the influx of haitian migrants. do residents have the right to be angry? why, why not, the nightcap next.

's

>> back with the nightcap crew. tonight's topic, raging residence. the left and mainstream media have bill and eyes residents and republicans, drawing attention to the problem in springfield, ohio. do they have a right to be frustrated, why or why not.

>> they do. j.d. vance said this is happening. i'm listening to them. [please stand by] >> they do have a right to be frustrated but on the other hand you are really shining a spotlight on a problem they want help with. it's almost a double-edged sword and a mixed blessing. >> it seems to me that you will have a lot of people at this town hall in a couple of nights, they are good to be there and very angry. >> you have every right to be angry. if someone did in fact a sacrifice eat your animal, you could be a little irked. >> i cover the border in prison for the past two years and i don't blame any one who is upset

about anything. >> we asked what you think. 97% on next, 92% on instagram. this is frustrated... he said the government should not be allowed to dilute the population of a small town. they say hardworking americans pay taxes and seeing their resources drained by horrible policy, sleeping giant absolutely. the government of springfield is not listening to the people that hired them paying citizens make the town go around, not illegal migrants. miss jeannie, free handouts are not fair. influx of people is putting a strain on the town's resources and they say we should all be angry as a country, our first priority is our residence, veterans and the homeless. thank you for watching america's late news, boxes a night. i'm trace gallagher in los angeles, see you back here tomorrow.
