the f.b.i. estify. that began about an hour ago, that hearing is in a short break. meanwhile i want to get to developing news stories until the testimony resumes. we'll take you back there live when it does. former president donald trump is back on the campaign trail in a very important swing state today, north carolina. he is set to speak at a rally at about 6:00 p.m. this evening in charlotte. now remember, the democrats appear to have momentum at this point after anointing kamala harris to the position. some are calling it anointing. others a quick coronation. they voted one way for biden, delegates are there to support the candidate that they voted for, but now they have a new candidate because biden pulled out on sunday. would those voters have voted for kamala harris? we don't know. were they bothered to ask? we don't know what their feelings are. the dnc, democratic party, has decided for them that kamala harris is their nominee now. they haven't even had their convention where it all offi

the f.b.i. will get this right? he didn't answer a single one of my questions. now this is a big day. a lot of pressure on him because lawmakers are very frustrated that they are not getting any answers. it comes one day after kim cheatle, the former secret service director, resigned from her post. she had a very, very bad hearing on monday and partisan outrage about her inability to answer some pretty basic questions. the pressure is on him to deliver today. lots of questions. here is what some of the congressmen want to know. >> i want to know what the plan is. i want to know what resignations are taking place. i want to know who is going to be held accountable. how this is not going to happen again. i don't want any secrets. the american people are tired of tragedies and incidents taking place where we have questions and conspiracy theories for many years to come. i don't expect it to be fiery but it potentially could be. >> bill and dana just a warning. this hearing could go a really long tim

the f.b.i. and also revealing more about what happened on that podium in pennsylvania. >> once the bullets started coming at me and i got very lucky. i really have to attribute it to god. >> what was melania's reaction when she learned what happened on that field? butler? >> she was watching live. it was all over place. she can't talk about it. that's okay. that means she likes me, she loves me. let's say she could talk about it freely i'm not so sure which is better. she either likes or loves me and that's nice. i will say this, look, she was -- when i went down she thought the worst had happened. >> dana: you shouldn't have been allowed to get on the stage. >> one thing about secret service they were very brave. bullets were flying over me. i went down and they were on top of me. i had a lot of people on top of me. big, strong people on top of me i want to tell you. and they were very brave, i have to say that. with that being said should have been somebody on the roof, should have been communi

the f.b.i. is looking into it. ermine that based on the fact the shooter had a very small list of contacts in his phone and small social network. one thing the f.b.i. profilers are looking into is the online gaming system. something that will be utilized in determining who was he talking to and what kind of video games was he playing. he made an important announcement on july 13th, his premier. i believe that is a very integral part of determining his motive. he may not have had a lot of friends but this online gaming platform was where he got his identity and validation. that's very important. so the drone point, harris, it is mind-boggling. as a law enforcement officer i understand the secret service is understaffed and seem to be under resourced and understaffed, overworked. whatever it might be. i've tried to defend that. for them to not utilize the resources offered to them by the locals is absolutely stunning and mind-boggling. they needed that. on the fourth side you have the shooter and he is using the techn

to date the f.b.i. team has conducted more than 460 interviews, executed search warrants including at the shooter's residence, and seized electronic media to include phones, laptops, hard drives and thumb drives. legal process has been issued to dozens of companies and we received more than 2,000 tips from the public. the full resources of the f.b.i. have been brought to bear in furtherance of the investigation. agents, analysts, professional staff, experts, i've personally visited the site of this horrific attack and seen firsthand the work of f.b.i. pittsburgh and our partners on the front line and want to thank all involved for their ongoing and tireless efforts to get the answers that we need and to deliver justice. specialized resources deployed included evidence response teams, victims services specialist, laboratory and operational technology division resources to process physical and digital evidence, a shooting reconstruction team, additionally our explosive experts have age hraoeuzed the three

the f.b.i.'shooting reconstruction team continues to examine evidence from the scene including bullet fragments and the investigation is ongoing. the statement comes after f.b.i. director christopher wray's testimony before lawmakers this week which is being scrutinized by some republican lawmakers. >> with respect to former president trump, there is some question whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear. >> trump appointed wray to lead the f.b.i. seven years ago and responded on truth social blasting wray and writing in part, quote, no, it was unfortunately a bullet that hit my ear and hit it hard. there was no glass, no shrapnel. meanwhile a pennsylvania man said he took a gun training class with thomas crooks just weeks before the rally shooting. >> after we had finished, i noticed looked at his target and he had shot one spot on the target so many times it blew a hole out of the target. >> bill jenkins says he has been interviewed by the f.b.i. meanwhile republican senator jo

have to defer you to the f.b.i. investigation. >> okay. you aren't curious about -- you don't communicate with them? okay. cnn reported the secret service did not sweep the building to shooter used to shoot president trump and other attendees. is that true or false? >> it will depend on the information that we obtain from our investigations. >> okay. secret service knew there was a suspicious person anywhere from ain't minutes to 30 to 60 minutes. were president trump or his team notified of the threat? >> i think there is a difference between suspicious and threat. we're going back and looking at communications to know when the information about a suspicious person was passed to secret service personnel. >> okay. but was president trump or his team notified? >> again we're going back and looking to make sure we have the exact information of when the notifications were made and who they were made to. >> i think it is troubling for a lot of us that the number one question everyone is america is wondering is why was th

the f.b.i. is investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism. one of the many unanswered questions how was the gunman able to get 130 yards of the former president? how does it impact this week's convention? rnc chairman michael whatley is on deck and bill melugin is temp milwaukee. jonathan is in pennsylvania. >> good morning to you, dana. you can see that home behind me just behind the police tape. so many unanswered questions. obviously many of them that the shooter took to the grave. although he is dead, this investigation is far from over. the f.b.i. is trying to unlock the shooter's cell phone hoping to download some information to give them more insights into the events leading up to saturday's shooting. investigators say they found bomb-making materials in the shooter's home and rude me explosive devices in his car. thomas matthew crooks was not on law enforcement's radar. investigators have yet to determine a motive and are unaware of any ideology he might have had. it is not

now you also have the f.b.i.'s criminal investigation. hey are interviewing not only the witnesses in the crowd but other law enforcement. some of that criminal investigation will certainly inform the dhs independent review. the dhs needs to insure they do not get in the middle of a criminal investigation. right now even though the shooter is dead, there are answers that still remain was there any support, was he consuming hate speech, were there any witting or unwitting co-conspirators. i don't think there are but we have a long way to go in this investigation. >> dana: hopefully not too long. >> bill: buys a ladder, goes to home depot. hits the ammo store. drives his car to the scene. got a remote control with some sort of device back in his trunk. on and on and on it goes. purchased the 50 rounds of ammo maybe that morning. i don't know, he is 20 years old. do 20-year-old kids do all of that by themselves? >> you wouldn't think so, bill. you wouldn't think that this would be an isolated incident but it is one of the scariest moments for

to date the f.b.i. team conducted more than 460 interviews, executed search warrants including at the shooter's residence and seized electronic media phones, laptops, hard drives and thumb drives. legal process has been issued to dozens of companies and we received more than 2,000 tips from the public. the full resources of the f.b.i. have been brought to bear in further answer of the investigations. agents and professional staff experts. i personally visited the site of the attack and seen the work of f.b.i. pittsburgh and our partners on the front line and want to thank all involved for theron going and tireless efforts to get the answers that we need and to deliver justice. specialized resources were victim services specialist. technology division resources to process physical and digital evidence. shooting reconstruction team. our explosive experts have analyzed the three ieds recovered, two from the shooter's vehicle, one from the family residence and behavioral analysis unit is building a profile o

>> the f.b.i. interviews, sir? >> we have 302s on those. >> yes, senator. >> when will congress get the 30, the transcriptions. >> when will they be made available to congress? >> we'll make them available. >> how soon? memories are short. they can be influenced by events. we need these transcribed interviews as soon as possible. >> we'll get it done, sir. >> does secret service use encrypted communications at events? >> on our radio neats. >> are knows saved? >> we did not have recordings from there? >> do you normally? >> not on the road outside of d.c. of a presidential or vice presidential stop. >> communications between secret service agents will be available like we've gotten communications from local law enforcement. we won't get those communications, you didn't save them. very unfortunate. >> it is, sir. moving forward i directed we'll now start recording those so that we'll have them. moving forward. >> i will ask for a number of things at the end to the entered in the record. one of my findings the secret

the company gave the f.b.i. a software patch and deployed its software for the bureau to use in this specific case. a spokesman declined to discuss this current case but talked about the challenges of encryption in general. >> each encrypted is messing it up slightly differently. every time we get law enforcement with lawful access to one of those secure messaging apps, there is a lot of research that goes on behind. not three guys in a basement can do this stuff. >> the f.b.i. says there is no indication of foreign involvement with crooks plot at this point but can't say anything is 100% until they have analyzed everything. it could take a while. >> david spunt, thank you for that and i know you will stay on it in d.c. >> dana: i feel like we've got to figure out the laws that would allow law enforcement to get what they need. i know there is a privacy, but they did a whole thing yesterday on capitol hill to protect children online. maybe we could try to protect victims as well. >> bill: the guy that runs the we

the f.b.i. struggling to uncover the mindset of the man who shot former president trump this past weekend. we're learning more information about how he got ready for this as we say good morning back here in milwaukee. the morning of day three. push can convention rolls on and so do we. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we begin today because the questions get harder and the answers seem more unbearable. we begin with exclusive new video showing another angle of the chaos that unfolded after the shots rang out, watch. >> someone is shot. someone is shot. >> bill: something else to watch. every single one of them. we knew this past weekend there would be more images. had to be, right? they continue to be uncovered and one of them right now. now we want to show you this. this is video of a police car trying to ram through the fence in an attempt to gain access to the building where the shooter was located. the f.b.i. now sharpening its focus on the shooter's movements in the

for your first question the men and women of the f.b.i. who work in our offices along with the field offices across the united states and federal partners have worked the last 18 months to take intelligence in, evaluate that information and disseminate it to our partners to address any threats. currently there are no known current threats. needing to be clear, they deify did you not make changes to the security plan based on the event yesterday? >> they have been no changes to our current security plan to this event. reporter: why not? >> this event is designated as a national security event, an 18-month process involving all levels of government contributing to the operational security plans. we have an operational security plan built out for every area of responsibility related to any and all aspects of security related to this event. reporter: [indiscernible] -- have you made any changes for officers, for intelligence gathering or anything else? >> i can reiterate what i said before in terms of what i think the city of milwaukee has done

anything the f.b.i. director can do today to advance the ball for us to understand what happened to prevent it from happening again? >> i think he should do the opposite of what the secret service director did. he should update the nation on where the investigation is, what they've determined so far. in this case he should not hide behind the age-old adage because it's an ongoing investigation. the perpetrator is dead and everything should be released. no reason to hold onto things right now that i can think of. the prosecution is not going forward because he is deceased. the director needs to get up there and be as transparent with the american people as possible into the shooter's background. one is into the lack of security and failure in the security plan. a separate investigation, the f.b.i. investigation is aimed at the shooter and how he came to be. i think it needs to be as transparent as possible and tell congress what they found out so far. >> bill: that wasn't the case two days ago. why did she

the f.b.i. d up giving an update on their investigation into the trump assassination attempt and they say they still have not determined really the overall meaning for the shooting. we know the motive was to kill but was there anything behind that? they also reveal the former president will sit down for a formal victim interview at some point. we don't have a date or time on that yet. fox news has now obtained some text messages from local law enforcement that were given and sent out the day of the assassination attempt on our nation's 45th president. they seem to show the suspect was spotted much earlier than officials previously told us. iowa senator chuck grassley has a copy of the local sniper's group chat and forwarded it out. look at this. at 4:261 of the snipers texted someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars, just so you know. i'm just letting you know because you see me go out with my rifle and put it on my car, so he knows you guys are up there. then at 5:38 p.m. a

kimberly cheatle, nothing but frustration, lack of answers, referring to the f.b.i. repeatedly saying the investigation is still underway. lawmakers toured the area where the gunman opened fire and we'll show and tell you what they found on their own. >> dana: president biden is about to return to a different washington after a week spent isolating with covid. when will he address americans on his decision to bow out? >> travelers not out of the woods yet. one major airline is still having a hard time getting its systems up and running still today. >> it was crazy. what is going on? there is no line. there is chaos. >> came out this morning and looked at the lines and oh my goodness. >> thought we'd get here a few hours early and here we are stuck in all this chaos. because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home■s value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. with automatic authority from the va we can say yes

what did you hear based on your experience with the f.b.i.? they're trying to do now in my estimation they have to start -- that guy graduated from high school. something happened between then and the day of the shooting. some kind of radicalization, either self-radicalized, mental distress or external forces. they are saying they can't get into the encrypted files they have to spend time and effort and they need to go to the private sector. there are capabilities that might help them do that to get in there to understand were there external factors. they need to at least eliminate that possibility of somebody else helping this guy get up on that roof and crank off some rounds. that will be really important. i think it's really important for people not to leap to conclusions when he gets online and does a search for the distance between oswald and president kennedy. you know, this is that last-minute getting the nerves, trying to figure it out kind of a thing. i don't look too much into that except a fact pattern what his mental state and inte

for today's hearing heads of the secret service, f.b.i. and homeland security have all declined to testify. we are listening to it and bring you the news from it as it breaks. first to this. vice president harris is moving full steam ahead with her bid for president. she appears to have locked up enough delegates for the nomination after democrat party elites fearful of losing the white house pushed biden out of the race and expedited her assent to the throne. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. harris heading to battleground state wisconsin. she have is all but guaranteed to clinch her party's nomination after the democrats quickly fell in line in 36 hours and it was done. axios summed it up in two words. it is over. they say why it matters, because it never began. minnesota's democratic governor tim waltz with dana and me last hour defending the party's move this way. >> we can make our decisions, pick our nominee. if you don't like it, don't vote for her in novem

the f.b.i. is conducting a criminal investigation. the secret service is conducting an internal investigation. there are a number of oig investigations and the external investigation. >> last question for me. before july 13th, had the trump detail requested additional resources? >> what i can tell you is that for the event on july 13th, the details what were -- the assets that were requested for that day were given. >> okay. my time is expired. chair now recognizes ranking member raskin for five minutes. >> it has been reported that before former president trump got on the stage at 6:00 p.m. on saturday, july 13th, that the local police had identified and even photographed a man who was acting suspiciously. this man who turned out to be the gunman had been flagged as a potential threat. is that accurate? >> what i can say is the individual was identified as suspicious. >> so he was known to be suspicious before former president trump took the stage. >> that is the information i have received. >> why was he allowed to take the stage wit

the fact is when i asked director of the f.b.i. he said the vast majority of folks that entered the capitol didn't break anything or hurt anybody. those were his words, not mine so that seems more leak trespassing where you get a ticket and pay a couple hundred dollars fine, not thrown in the gulag. so i don't previous of things like gentlemen george floyd was killed and damage was unfortunately we saw that, the country fall victim to. we have political and legal redress. host: the caller was asking about present's role? guest: i think president trump said go to the capitol peacefully and let your voice be heard. he did not condone nor did he want nor did it serve any purpose to have folks get out of hand. that is a riot, not insurrectionment host: andy in michigan, independent line. good morning. caller: two quick questions. first, about the visits to the white house. do you know if the white house was occupied by the president at that time? was he there when the doctor visited? the second one on inflation and that's the one i'm re

we're learning the f.b.i. interviewed a local officer who says thomas crooks -- saw thomas crooks but retreated. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good to be with you the second hour. here we go. >> bill: second hour on day two. i'm bill hemmer, good morning. f.b.i. finally gaining access to the gunman's locked cell phone tracking his digital footprint while searching his family home. so far interviewed 1 hundred people seeking anyone who came in contact with him and so far no clues about a possible motive that we're aware of. >> dana: the failed assassination attempt putting a sharp focus on secret service leadership amid calls for the director to resign. this new video reveals the gunman was spotted on the roof nearly 90 seconds before he took aim and opened fire. >> he is laying down. >> yeah, he is laying down. >> that's happening? wow. yeah, look, there he is. officer! up on the roof. >> up here. >> he is on the roof. right there. right on the roof. he is getting up now. >> bi

biden opens borders to dictators as more 9/11 attacks are imminent as repeatedly warned by the f.b.i. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio seek recognition? >> mr. speaker i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. this summer, northeast ohio native katie moon will compete in her second olympic games. mr. miller: four years ago she won the gold medal in the tokyo olympics in the pole vault. in her career, she's won golds at the olympics, the world championships, the diamond league, and the ncaa championships. alumni of olmsted high school in cuyahoga county is a shining example of what our district has to offer. her hard work and desire to give back to the community exemplifies what it means to be an american. from 2018-2023, katie has won gold medals every year in competitions. this summer, katie, along with hundreds of american athletes, will head to the paris olympic g

the f.b.i. director of the secret service, and also the attorney general should have been front and center saturday night to insure the american people that we are going to do everything possible, no stone will be left unturned. we are going to make sure that this threat on our democracy, there is no greater threat to deestablish illizing the united states of america by trying to assassinate a former president. this idea that she was grandstanding last night is inexplicable and embarrassing and no idea why she would have shown up there. look, it played out as pathetic as it has been with her to be absentee and try to explain that because the roof had some sort of pitch or some sort of slope is nonsensical period. >> bill: we'll see if she is still on the job come monday. we'll find out together. stewart, thank you, sir. >> always my pleasure, thank you. >> bill: four years of plotting may be coming to ahead. iran apparently has wanted revenge on former president trump for the killing of general s

fox told the f.b.i. interviewed the local law enforcement officer who reportedly saw crooks before the shooting on the roof and then retreated. only moments later did crooks open fire. investigators try to piece together how he could get on the roof and take a shot. before the rally began people reported to police a suspicious person near the -- pacing around. the man turned out to be thomas crooks who later took shots. a live look at his house in bethel park, pennsylvania south of pittsburgh. his family is cooperating with authorities. the gun was bought legally in 2000 by crooks' father. crooks bought multiple rounds of ammunition shortly before saturday's shooting and also belonged to a local firing range. a lot of blame going around and finger pointing in washington. secret service director kim cheatle will a appear in public before congress next monday and face intense questions from republicans and democrats. harris. >> harris: i hope they are intense. my goodness. david spunt, thank you. several co

i urge everyone not to make hasty conclusions about the motives and views of the shooter, let the f.b.itructures are doing their job, there is no place in america for this kind of violence, or indeed any violence, without exception, we cannot allow violence to become the norm, disagreement is inevitable, it is part of human nature, but politics should not become a battleground, and even more so an arena for murders. meanwhile, there is now more discussion in the states. allowed, how they checked the territory before , but the question remains, how was this a rally at all and why didn’t they react when spectators reported a suspicious person on roof, in these frames, the shooter is dismantled on... the top in front of people, the police response is zero, in addition, it became known that recently trump’s aides several times asked the secret service to strengthen his security, but each time they were refused. the ships of the pacific ocean fleet and the chinese navy began large-scale joint exercises of maritime interaction, the maneuver was launched at a ceremony in the port of changzan,

geoff: he said the f.b.i. was still searching for a motive but uncovered a social media account potentially linked to the gunman. >> there were over 700 comments posted from this account. some of those comments if ultimately attributable to the shooter, appear to reflect anti-semitic an anne immigration themes to espouse political violence, and are described as extreme in nature. geoff: a number of senators urged rowe to ask for more resources and personnel. former president trump is set to be interviewed by the f.b.i. about the shooting late they are week. geoff: the u.s. senate today passed the kids on loin safety act by a vote of 91-3. the bill passes the house it'll mark the first time in 5 years that congress has passed a bill aimed at better protecting children from dangers online. >> in a 2023 survey, 65% of kids in the u.s. reported experiencing an online risk, rain onlying from misinformation and graphic violence to hate speech. among other thing, the act, dubbed cosa, establishes duty of care. that's

milwaukee police department, milwaukee fire department and other law enforcement agencies, federal like the f.b.i. and others across our state and country have been working at this for about 1 months, have very firm plans in place and i feel very confident in the plans. host: can you tell us how your city's law enforcement works with the federal secret service? guest: absolutely. our police department has worked in conjunction with federal law enforcement over the course of the last 18 months deriving plans for every aspect of opinion safety. i believe there were at last two dozen subcommittees relating to every aspect of public safety related to the convention here. we have worked diligently the last several months, well over a year, in preparation for the rnc. we are excited it is here and opportunity to brings milwaukee to elevate our city and a lot of that is public safety and good execution and i believe the police department and partners at the federal and state level are ready to work to make sure that happens. host: you are a democratic mayor of milwaukee. you played a major role in getti

also know this, i thought the director did a good job of being transparent but every time the f.b.i. or any other law enforcement agency comes up with a hack that will get through that encryption, once the company finds out they will put a patch out for it. so it is a battle but you would think that when you have these critical incidents where life is literally on the line and threatened in this manner they would cooperate more. >> dana: stay in touch with us and we have a lot more to learn. appreciate your expertise. thank you. >> greatest nation in the history of the world. strongest, most powerful, most benevolent, most free nation that has ever been. we should stand with that, our allies and freedom. >> bill: they stood for that last night. powerful moment republican lawmakers raising the american flag torn down by anti-israeli protestors earlier in the day. speaker johnson joins us to talk about that and many other things. don't miss this. did president biden level with the american people in his address on his exit from the race last night? well, this is how the former president

the house will have their investigation, inspectors generals and f.b.i. ere will be a lot of people investigating this. >> the house is also has a task force. they want recommendations to pluck sure a catastrophe like this does not happen again. >> i want it done very professionally. we have a lot of theater. you want to be credible more than anything. >> there was a group chat among police at the rally. one officer texting colleagues there was a man with a range finder near the warehouse. one message advises officers to notify secret service snipers about the subject. it says i lost sight of him. >> dana: chad, thank you. >> bill: as all these investigations unfold there are growing questions about communication failures ahead of that attempt on donald trump's life. want to bring in john ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence. good morning to you. been some time since we had a conversation. thank you for coming back here. thank god he survived or all this stuff -- no meeting with the secret service that day. 90 minutes before he was notified

the f.b.i. is. i want to preface that in the following statement i'm about to make. a social media site called gab and the person who runs it says the account for which the data was requested was unequivocally pro-biden and pro biden's immigration policy and on it goes. he was pro-lockdown. left wing joe biden supporter. f.b.i. still can't confirm that. do you buy that all these days later? >> you know, bill, i don't know what to buy. these are investigations that take some time. when you can't actively interview the shooter because he is no longer with us, it makes it difficult to get inside their mindset and why they did something. we just have to go on social media postings and other reports that we get. so i think there is still a lot more work to be done. the f.b.i. needs to do that work quickly and find out why this individual was targeting former president trump. >> dana: frank, thank you for being with us today. the mystery continues and so does the investigation. >> thank you. >> dana: o

the white house to carry on project 2025, which would mean a national abortion plan and defunding the f.b.i. and ending marriage equality. the list goes on and on. with respect to your first question, it's clear this is a runaway supreme court that does not feel they have a check. they want a imperial presidency under donald trump and they're not guided by the ethic standards that other judges are. i think we can start there. that's been a discussion among both sides of the capitol dome. let's start there. if there are other reforms that are worthy of consideration, we should debate them as we debate a variety of issues when it comes to keeping government safe and ensuring that we have a functioning democracy. >> the first thing that's going to happen when we flip the house and hold the senate we'll bring the bill to codify roe vs. wade and he'll sign it. donald trump would veto such a bill because donald trump caused roe vs. wade to be overturned. we'll also fix what the supreme court did when they overruled precedent for no good reason in the chevron case. the supreme court now said hey,
