faulkner. "the faulkner focus" it has been quiet about the attempt to kill former president donald trump in butler, pennsylvania, the first attempt on his life. perhaps that's about to change in a very significant way. acting united states secret service director ronald rowe is set to hold a news conference soon with one topic scheduled, that first assassination attempt on former president trump. we are expecting to see the released details on a secret service internal report of all the colossal failures on july 13th. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." calls are growing for more information on both that shooting, that would be assassination attempt on trump, and the second shooting possibility. the second assassination attempt. i want to be clear at trump's golf course in florida just this past sunday. republicans say it is time for all of us as a nation to get

accountability and answers. >> we need a thorough investigation of the failures not just once but twice that nearly resulted in the assassination of president trump. it is unacceptable. >> when the secret service and f.b.i. dhs for two solid months now have refused to give congressional investigators information. why? it raises questions. >> it is the responsibility of federal government to insure their safety and well-being. you have death threats from iran against the former president. you have had two assassination attempts. one that struck him. >> it is incumbent upon us to look everywhere we can to get the answers and information that everybody needs. >> harris: conservative legal watchdog group is suing the united states secret service and department of homeland security for records on the first trump assassination attempt. in their lawsuit they write

this. the security failure indicates a failure of leadership and a profound miscalculation of law enforcement personnel and resources, end of quote. david spunt is at the justice department. david, it has been quiet again as i just told the audience, i hope it's about to get loud with truth now. >> i suspect it will get louder. we'll find out more today. the acting secret service director ronald rowe says he is throwing out the playbook that the secret service used for the past few decades and making some changes. we'll hear from him in two hours at 1:00 eastern time at secret service headquarters. he will give a preview of a preliminary report which is a report done by the secret service. the accountability phase is now underway. people will be held accountable. we asked him about this a week or so after former president trump was shot in butler, pennsylvania. now he says the accountability phase will happen.

he says the mission assurance investigation prompted the service to move into that accountability phase. the office of integrity are reviewing the findings. the agency has among the most robust table of penalties in the federal government in violations of policy will result in disciplinary action. they revealed former president trump's security package is the same as when he was president. president biden upped the security tore trump after july 13th. some lawmakers don't dispute that they're skeptical he has the same security package as biden. >> if this is the highest level of security based on the threats against president trump we need to create several higher levels of security . it seems to be inadequate. >> trump, biden-harris have counter snipers, drones, protective intel and counter assault teams. travels with satellites and the

nuclear launch codes and waiting in the house to take up the measure to automatically by law give all presidential candidates the exact same secret service protection as sitting presidents moving forward. we're watching that over in the house and go ahead. >> harris: that would take away the question would there be any difference politically. that will take that off the table and it should be taken off. everyone should be protected who wants to run for the highest office in the land. david, thank you. chris swecker, former f.b.i. assistant director is with me now. i'm thinking that you heard the difference there between what is happening with biden and what's happening even with trump to this day. talk to me about that difference and if it makes a difference in terms of his security. i know the nuclear codes are part of the presidential job when you are in office. that's obvious. >> it's clear to me that in prior circumstances very recent

circumstances he was not getting the same package biden or harris was getting. i don't care what they say it's not the case whatsoever. going forward i think they have to now. i don't think the package will be a whole lot different. i think the problem, as you said earlier, they have to reinvent themselves and i don't think rowe will be reluctant to throw his predecessor under the bus and say we have all kinds of problems and made a lot of mistakes. not so much in the more recent incident. that's under his watch and he won't throw himself under the bus. he will make a play for resources. i think that's disingenuous. one, because it deflects the blame on congress and people who fund the agency. and two, they would be profiting from their own failures. they have 40% of the resources devoted to protection. they have strayed into other areas, which is discretionary.

they can put those resources back where they belong, which is their core mission. >> harris: 40% of the resources at the united states secret service which protects our highest profile leader and leaders, you are telling me that 60% of that money is going someplace else? >> based on a reading of their 2023 budget. if you see how they break it down. they are doing other investigations, financial crimes investigations, cyber, bank fraud, this fraud, that fraud. the problem is that's the same thing other agencies do, especially the f.b.i. there is overlap there. i know that from my time as head of the criminal division. a lot of overlap and not great coordination on the financial crimes front. as i said, they have a way of playing congress and getting more resources by grabbing more jurisdiction. that's a fact. >> harris: two quick follow ups. i want to dig deeper. it is important to know.

there is duplication overlap by other agencies on some other 60% of the efforts that the secret service has going on. is there anybody else who is protecting the president and other high-profile leaders, that 40% of resources going to just that? who is picking up the slack. can these other agencies be doing that? >> they reach into homeland security, ice and other investigative agencies and repurpose them. that's not a good place to go looking for resources. they are untrained. they have their own resources and they can reallocate these resources. that's a leadership issue. how you prioritize your resources toward your core mission. the core mission is protection. >> harris: i want to show you something right now. if you think that senators are not paying attention, people would be wrong. five secret service agents were put on leave after the first attempt to kill donald trump. no one has been fired, no one.

senator josh hawley on that. >> you have need to investigate to know there were critical enough failures that some individuals ought to be held accountable. what more do you need to know? >> exactly what happened and i need my investigators to do their job and i cannot -- >> i lot of people didn't do their jobs. >> i can't put my thumb on the scale. otherwise the objective. you are asking me, senator, to completely make a rush to judgment about somebody failing. i acknowledge this was a failure of the secret service. >> the former president was shot. somebody failed. >> harris: that's senator josh hawley of missouri and that's also mr. rowe, the current acting director of secret service who will have a news conference coming up not too far from now. i have to ask, when he says he doesn't want to put his thumb on the scale. who is in danger now if they haven't already gone through the organization to figure out who ought to be fired? are those people still on the

job protecting anybody, let it be trump or biden, kamala, anybody? and if you think they need to be fired today, why wouldn't that happen? and why don't they know? >> they are not telling us. getting the straight scoop on that. the civil service system is clunky when it comes to disciplinary actions but you can put people on administrative leave and reassign them to places where they can do no harm. physicians oath, do no harm. they can stay in the other position until you resolve things and run through the whole disciplinary process. i think it is sheer negligence to put them on a protective detail for any protectee at this point until you resolve those issues. you don't have to fire them but reassign them and put them on administrative leave. that's a leadership issue. >> harris: do you think we'll get to a point where the f.b.i. takes a look at the united

states secret service. they are missing 1,500 people and they want us to believe getting a few more resources will make life better for the people they protect. is it time for the f.b.i. to turn an eye on its cousin in the government? >> yeah, i don't think they will do that. at least this f.b.i. is not going to do it. i have think the inspector general is best suited to do that sort of thing. in fact, i would think that the inspector general ought to be the person standing up in front of the podium today to talk about the results of their hot wash and investigation of themselves. in theory the i.g.s are independent and they could be doing the inquiry. i am skeptical about the acting headstanding up there today and talking about something that he had a lot to do with as far as being the number two in the secret service. >> harris: i will be curious to see. we'll only get a summary of some of the details about the internal report inside the secret service.

at least that's something. but what you are saying about the inspector general being the right person to be up there today instead of acting director rowe at this point from the secret service with the news conference is critically important. thank you for your time and expertise. thank you, chris. >> thank you. >> harris: one of the nations biggest labor unions made history but not in the way that democrats would want. they failed to endorse either presidential candidate. the teamsters union has gone reliably democrat for decades. now what their president is saying all of it means as the media, some of them, are completely ignoring the story. i don't know how you can. it is 1.3 million members, voters who now majority are going for trump. they didn't endorse trump. they just said we won't endorse anybody. the labor teamsters union. the vice president's word salad

bar appears bottomless. serve yourself, we have plenty. kamala harris serving up a bunch more in her interview with oprah last night. >> in terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams, and ambitions, we believe in what can be. and we believe in fighting for that. that's how we came into being. >> harris: the pressure is on. will we ever get substantive answers that make sense from the vice president as the clock ticks down to election day, 46 days today? just a few seconds away from lisa boothe, fox news political analyst, in "focus" next. more laughs. more hang outs. more “mmmmm, so good!”

>> harris: breaking news now. i believe we have a look at the house floor and we do. this has just happened. the house was voting on a bipartisan-enhanced presidential security act. a bill to mandate equal uss secret service protection of major presidential candidates. it has passed the house, 405-0. 26 people absent. if my team can give me anymore detail. please do. 26 absent, 405-0 for those present today. now it goes to the senate. this is the first step. the question is, if it were to get through both chambers of congress, would president biden sign this? where is president kamala harris on this? rather, vice president kamala harris on this? those are important questions this administration is being asked now to make sure that it protects major presidential

candidates after two attempts to kill their political rival, donald trump. just since july. so now we're told he will have equal protection with the current president and vice president with a couple of exceptions like biden carries the nuclear codes with him and so on and so forth. this was the lead story today. now we have some movement on the hill in the house bipartisan bill to mandate protecting those major presidential candidates. we'll see where it goes from here. now the harris-walz ticket is on track to do fewer interviews and news conferences than any major party's presidential pairing in modern u.s. history. it has been 45 days since the harris-walz ticket formed. since then they have only done a combined 15 interviews. former president trump and vice president republican vice presidential nominee jd vance have done 55. the "new york post" editorial

board with this headline. kamala harris is nowhere to be seen with election day two months away. another softball interview for the vice president last night with oprah. >> specific steps to strengthen the border. >> it was a very important question. you know my background was as a prosecutor and i was also the elected attorney general for two terms of a border state. so this is not a theoretical issue for me. this is something i've actually worked on. >> to answer the question, now that that bill has gone and hasn't passed will you reintroduce that? >> i am a gun owner, too. >> i didn't know that. >> if a burglar enters my house they get shot. probably should not have said that. [laughter] but -- we'll deal with that

later. we are an optimistic people. americans, by character, are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations. we believe in what is possible. we believe in what can be. and we believe in fighting for that. that's how we came into being. >> harris: look, that gun issue they were joking around. you were a gun owner, i didn't know all that. we learned from the philadelphia journalism interview she did at the black journalist conference. that didn't have a lot of follow-ups. they did on the topic of guns because she said that at one point she had protested against gun legislation, some of it, at a gun show. i notice she didn't tell oprah that. that would have been a place you might have wanted to ask how could you protest there and also be a gun owner? i have a lot of questions.

we'll move on. 1 "wall street journal" column calls her an artless dodger. that isn't the answer of a candidate using her limited time in an attempt to be better understood. it is the sound of someone running the clock out. it lists reasons for her vague policy responses. a quote. because she is not that interested in policy because she will figure it out later. because she doesn't want you to understand where she stands because at bottom, she is as progressive as joe biden, end quote. we've seen kamala harris trying to rewrite her far left past. >> there is no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. >> do you still want to ban fracking? >> no. i made that clear on the debate stage in 2020. as vice president i did not ban fracking. as president i will not ban fracking. i think there is no question we have to critically re-examine ice and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing.

we need to probably think about starting from scratch. >> i believe there should be consequence. we have laws that have to be followed and enforced that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally. >> harris: i guess it would be different if what she said then was like 25 years ago but it wasn't. this is the second time she has run for president. we have a pretty good idea of where the tape is, where the receipts are. they aren't that old. the vp has also reversed on several other policies from not too long ago. in "focus" now lisa boothe, fox news political analyst. first of all, your thoughts on her recent exposure to the press, if you will, and we'll include oprah and those journalists as well. >> she says everything without saying anything at all. joe biden had the basement strategy. she is trying to do this teleprompter strategy where she only engages in these very controlled environments.

oprah is a big democrat donor. she knows she won't get pressed or get the follow-up questions you mentioned. the challenge for her it was easier for joe biden to do the basement strategy but it hurt her to do this when donald trump is out there. he is doing all these rallies, gutfeld, interviews a totally uncontrolled interview with elon musk on x. so the contrast is just so clear. i think that's why you are seeing even media outlets like axios finally calling her out for dodging the press. >> harris: i want to get into the teamsters situation. that union, huge labor union in this country, 1.3 million members has announced it will not endorse either presidential candidate. this is the first time since 1996. so 28 years that the teamsters have not backed the democratic white house nominee. here is what the union's

president told cnn. >> this is a wake-up call that the system is broken. it's far too long that the democratic party -- i'm a democrat, has got their way. we need to hold them accountable. this is an opportunity for both parties to take a hard look. >> harris: some in the liberal media aren't telling the entire story. according to the conservative, they failed to tell viewers about a poll of teamsters rank and file members that nearly 60% support former president trump. one pro-trump teamsters member says this. >> it really surprises me that we're not supporting the one who actually overwhelmingly won this race and it's sad. i'm really sad that he did not look at the numbers because when we do a vote in the teamsters, if it's 51%, you won that race.

now it won 60. come on, man, you can do better than that. >> harris: i wonder about the viability and reason for unions at this point if they aren't going to represent the opinions and, you know, the beliefs of the people who pay them to represent them. should they get a discount now because the teamsters isn't representing their support of donald trump? >> we'll see what sort of thing we see from all of it. a non-endorsement is an endorsement when they have endorsed every democrat for decades. of course they will support donald trump in this race. you are talking about blue collar workers, many of these individuals work with their hands willing to get their hands dirty for a living and kamala harris picks a vice presidential candidate who wants to put tampons in the boy's bathroom. how could they trust her on any of these issues? she previously supported fracking and she is saying she doesn't. she wants to push for electric

vehicles and will kill a lot of the jobs that they have. whereas with donald trump they know where he stands. he has been president. he can trust him on these issues. also, i think the broader issue for her with the dodging the media and flip-flopping and all this other stuff is it comes down to a perception of weakness. that's actually the same problem that joe biden had. he had the age but behind the age was weakness. it was the lack of fortitude. inability to do the job. she has that same problem. this is someone who is not willing to engage with the media that gives her 84% of coverage and we're in a world of chaos now. chaos with the economy, the border, globally as well. and she is too weak for the job. so i think that's also reflected in the teamster numbers as well. >> harris: i wanted to add a couple of facts we found today. the states with the most teamsters union members are hawaii and new york. the states with the fewest are south carolina and north

carolina. ups has members with the union is about to go to $2one an hour from the current contract to pay for part-timers at $2one an hour, new contract that's just come through. so you were describing who these people are. most of them are working with -- you bet they are working with their hands and we need them to be working. your last quick thought. >> absolutely. for me i'm actually feeling bullish on donald trump right now when you look at the fact that he is polling way ahead of where he was in 2020 and 2016. you look at the fact the majority of americans want change from the current administration. he is that change as well. when you look at issues like the economy and look at the teamsters and voter registration in states like pennsylvania where republicans have been able to cut the deficit in half there, this election will likely come down to pennsylvania. so i think a lot of the fundamentals are trending in his favor and perhaps that is why

kamala harris is so afraid to face the media. >> harris: always great to see you. thank you. live look now at the white house. president biden is about to convene his cabinet for the first time in nearly a year. his low profile continues to raise big questions about his mental acuity. plus tensions growing in springfield, ohio. people who live there are very angry and speaking out. they have been and did so again at a town hall with former presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy. >> we needless migrants in this town. we can't absorb them. >> the local governments are not taking care of the citizens. >> harris: that small community appears to be nearly at a breaking point. the migrant crisis is making every state a border state now. texas congressman tony gonzalez has dealt with this for years. he is in "focus" next.

>> harris: focus on springfield, ohio now. lark at that crowd that showed up for a town hall with vivek ramaswamy last night. he is the former gop presidential candidate who spent part of his youth growing up there. now the city is at the center of a fiery nationwide debate over the huge influx of particularly haitian migrants, 15,000 of them into a town that had at the time 58,000. 58,000 people, now 15,000 more, all sharing resources, affordable housing, anything they can get their hands on. many of them came here legally through a program that was coordinated by the biden-harris administration flying these people in. so we don't get a realtime number on how many people are flying in from other countries. this would be one of those program results from the

biden-harris administration, high numbers. vivek shared some of his takeaways with jesse watters prime time. >> they've been told to shut up, sit down and do as your told for too long. people were hungry to be heard. it lies at the feet of biden and harris that are causing places like springfield. i spent time there as a kid. to now suffer. the residents had a lot of good pragmatic ideas if people are willing to actually listen to them. >> harris: springfield is one of the communities turned into border cities by president biden and vice president kamala harris's border policies. the crisis stretches coast to coast. bill melugin is in springfield. >> we heard from a lot of those residents at the town hall last night. there was one overarching them. they blame the federal government for allowing so much haitians to just show up in

their city here over the last few years. they also point the finger at their local officials, though, who they say are not listening to them. take a look. they were excited when vivek ramaswamy showed up last night and got a big round of applause. he handed over the microphone to hundreds of local residents and let them sound off and vent about everything that's been going on with this haitian influx. take a listen. >> we have city officials that live right here in springfield and have not set up a meeting like this. >> we could have handled 3,000 or 4,000 people. we're not unwelcoming to that effect. but 20,000? when does it stop. >> they have not a simulated. they don't know the culture or the language. what is happening to our kids is not fair. >> springfield has made national headlines for over a week as this influx of so many haitians

has stretched the services and resources. some accused its residents of being unwelcoming. i asked them to respond to that. >> there are people outside of springfield who call you racist for being upset about that. >> you don't live here so mind your own business. >> how about if i change your population by 50% and see how you like it. >> it isn't racism. if they were 20,000 people from sweden it would be the same thing. >> i don't think i'm racist. springfield is a very welcoming community. >> meanwhile former president donald trump has said he is planning to visit springfield in the coming weeks. yesterday the republican mayor here in springfield threw cold water on that. he said it would be best for his city right now if donald trump did not come and if he decided to not come it would bring peace to the city. harris. >> harris: he is not there now

and they don't have peace. >> yeah. good point. that's what the residents said, too. >> harris: bill, thank you very much for the report. republican congressman tony gonzalez of texas represents a district that covers more than 40% of the southern border. he is also on the homeland security committee. i'll get to the question about why mayorkas still has a job in a moment. i want to ask you when you hear words like racism and unfairness and finger pointing and all this going on and don't let trump come, what do the answers really look like? who are the real victims here? >> it's a slap in the face to the people that actually live in this country. i will remind viewers this is biden and harris east failed border policies that have allowed people from all over the world to come into the country in many cases illegally and overwhelm our communities. our founding fathers -- my hat goes off to vivek for holding

that town hall. our founding fathers meant for us to have dialogue and i would argue congress was meant to be the body that deliberates and discusses and debates these very complex issues and delivers. not to be canceled by the left if you don't agree with everything or be shunned as an extremist. people just want their lives back whether you live on the border or in springfield, ohio. they want their lives back. >> harris: and want resources back. the number of the most recent in 2023, i believe, 58,000 people and then suddenly you mix in, in most cases they were legals but illegals among them, too. 15,000 people. you heard one of the residents describing they haven't a simulated in the way of learning how to drive. that leads to all sorts of difficulties on your roads. if you just take the personal out of it and just say we're all going to share this one thing like healthcare the governor has to bring in mobile vehicles to

provide healthcare. should the citizens be using that? why can't they go to their own doctors? >> look, i represent nearly half of the southern border. i have seen every single community small or big, once they get in, the border crisis, they can't get out. all of their resources get consumed. their education system, healthcare system, the roads, you name it. imagine you call 911 and no one answers. imagine you go to the hospital and there is no beds for you. these are serious issues why so many people are upset and why we need to take our country back. >> harris: what do we do? i know impeaching mayorkas didn't do the job. the senate was never going to help pull him out of that position. we're stuck. he won't actually pay attention to the assassination attempts on trump's life because his homeland security department is in charge of the secret service. and he doesn't do anything about this situation or even mention it. >> look today, kamala harris is

doing a virtually dialing into this meeting that they are having with the cabinet. america deserves better than a virtual president. we deserve president trump. i would argue house republicans we have to stop thinking as if let's ride president trump's coattails to victory. we have to roll up our sleeves. hispanic heritage month. asme owe hispanic and represent a district that predominantly hispanic. republicans need to deliver a conservative message that will make hispanic lives better. i was encouraged to see the hispanic leadership trust, they are going to places like arizona and helping a person and help president trump, organ, california is how we take back our country. everybody needs to go to places that maybe republicans don't necessarily go to, deliver a very conservative message, and let's go win this election and

social media giant meta is considering a major challenge and change to its policy. a challenge for people who use their platforms. the company's oversight board says it may ban posts which refer to trans women as men. it may also recommend other changes to its hate speech policy concerning trans women. critics say these changes would deal a big blow to free speech. the director of the independent women's law center is in "focus" now. good to see you. first your reaction to what they want to do. >> so what is happening is that one side is winning the persuasion war. when people see riley gaines have to give up her trophy to a man they know it isn't fair and there are groups of people who want to by pass persuasion and use censorship to say no, you can't say a man is a man. the proposal here is that misgendering would no longer be allowed on facebook.

you could not say that a man is a man. that would end advocacy for women who assert a right to women's's sports and spaces. something that i grew up with would no longer be something that you can claim that you want. >> harris: something that still exists. i don't know if they've been told yet, women are still women and men are still men. i don't know if they know if keeping people off the platform might be something that they can do but they can't change biology. >> yeah, so it is funny what's happening here. because if a woman said a man who identified as a man couldn't come into her bathroom meet yeah would be okay with this. what this is really about they are trying to change our reality. some men are women and two meta picked winners and losers . only free speech depending who you are. if you try to say something that affects the trans community, you are silenced and censored you

can't do that. men are fair game. the one-sided censorship is what meta has done. >> when you look at anybody who could benefit from this it will be elon musk because everybody is still open to making the conversation that they want to make on his platform. i don't know first of all i question the relevancy of facebook right now just in terms of with x as a competitor. i haven't studied that personally. i would want to know that. we have ten seconds. >> you're right. this won't be beneficial business decision for meta. i hope they take that into consideration. the videos are getting more views on x than meta platforms. >> harris: great to have you on "focus."
