John Brandnew Details this hour. The second Assassination Attempt of former President Trump, the suspect Ryan Routh in custody and federally charged. New records show he spent nearly 12 hours near the Golf Course before being spotted in the trees. I am John Roberts in washington. Good day to you. Imagine if that Agent Hadnt spotted him. The story we are telling today could be quite different. Gillian the barrel of that rifle pointing out at him through a Chainlink Fence and a whole bunch of bushes. Its quite extraordinary when you think about it. John sharp eyes. Gillian better him out there than me. I am Gillian Turner in for Sandra Smith and this is america reports. Take a look at that spread the map shows just how close this guy was in the vicinity to former President Trump. This sheriff said the house back was hiding 300500 yards away from of the former president. In shrubbery along the course. Gillian they spotted a Rifle Poking out of a fence where the x was marked. And thats when the agent when an Action Firing Shots causing routh to flee. Gillian and new Body Cam Video shows when they surrounded as a Vehicle I95 in Martin County before they arrested him. Look at this. We have a team of Law Enforcement experts and lawmakers across the next two hours. First to Justice Correspondent David spock with the latest on the investigation. Routh has been charged with two federal crimes. We expect those charges to increase. They use these Charges Possession of a firearm by convicted felon in possession of a firearm with obliterated Serial Number just to keep him in custody at this point. Cell phone records place him at the scene from 1 59 a. M. On sunday to 1 30 p. M. almost 12 hours in the shrubs there on the fence line. According to our Producer And Court and these arch sketches from a couple hours ago, routh was laughing and looking around while talking to his public defender. He told the Magistrate Judge he understands the charges against him. We are told more charges are certainly possible but these are enough the government believes to keep him in Custody Right N now. The secret Service Justice Department and fbi all taking different pieces of this pie. The doj of course with the charges, the fbi Investigating Routh himself, his background of prior crimes and its potential motive perhaps other accomplices paired the Secret Service once again looking in the mirror to do some selfreflection about how this happened. Several officials said the Secret Service is not staffed to handle trump the way they handle Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. The reason, President Biden is this sitting it Commander In Chief with Nuclear Launch Codes and Vp Harris is the second in line to the position and while trump is a former president and he is certainly in a unique position to want his old job back, he is still that, a former president your barack obama, george w. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter all have secret Service Protection Roundtheclock and we are told trumps protection fall somewhere in the middle of those expresident s and the current President And Vice president. But once again, there are Secret Service conversations underway right now from the highest levels all the way to the justice department. Starting to beef up the perimeter as if Donald Trump is president. This happened two months and two days after butler, pennsylvania, pair there are increased calls to why is his perimeter are not the same as the current President Of The United States . John it is one of the questions out there. There is a News Conference at 4 00 eastern time today. John looking forward to that prethank you. Lets bring a Nicole Parker, Number Fbi Agent and Fox News contributor. We were talking to david about this before he came on with his report. The charges that routh is facing now is possession of a weapon while the Felon And Possession of a weapon with the Serial Number partially obliterated. David was saying those are easy charges just to hold him over when they make the bigger case against them just in case some judge would say you dont have your act together, im going to let him out on bond until you do come back with some real charges. What do you think about that . Hes exactly right. I completely agree. As an Fbi Agent you go in there and you charge him with what you have rock solid at the time. They know theres more charges that will be coming but the investigation does take time. A convicted felon in possession of a firearm and an obliterated Serial Number is enough to keep him in the system right now. He went before a Magistrate Judge today and has an initial appearance in his Detention Hearing will be a week from today. They did the right thing in the investigation is going Full Throttle behind closed doors right now. Gillian we dont have all the information yet, of course, nobody does including the fbi who is combing through evidence in and around that property. When you look back in terms of what we do know of what went down yesterday, in your estimation, what was it a secret Service Failure that we saw or was it a success . That is a very good question appeared i think it is both. I first would like to say the secret Service Agent that was walking the perimeter, i was reading the criminal complaint. They were walking the perimeter and they saw the Firearm Sticking through the fence and they acted immediately. They engaged with the subject immediately. That is in is in herbalism, that is success. But the fact that the individual was ever able to get that close to the Golf Course, that to me is failure. And it comes back to the same problem that we saw in butler, pennsylvania. The Secret Service, the rank the Rank And File agents on the ground are doing the best that they can with the resources that they have and those that are doing their jobs properly and attention to detail are extremely frustrated. Keep in mind that today marks the United States the u. N. General assembly is going on right now in New York. That takes up a lot of Secret Service resources and i saw this coming even before. I thought that will scrap them for even more resources that they do not have. But again, that is a leadership problem. Rankandfile did the best that they could and we have to give accolades to the witness. A regular civilian who spotted an individual running out of the bushes and thought this does not look right and they took down the plate and submitted it and Law Enforcement put out a bolo. They put it into the License Plate Reader system and he was tracked down and arrested on i95. Absolutely phenomenal response but before, how did it get to this point . And we all understand a trump does not have enough detail. He does not. You cannot treat him like he is a former president when he has more threats than probably anyone in the world right now. John i was just doing some measurements on a map of the Golf Course. The shooter was hiding just off of the green by the Sixth Hole. He was 40 yards away from the green and about 40 feet away from the cart path. If at agent had not spotted the muzzle of that rifle sticking out from the Fence And Trump had proceeded from the fifth hole where he was at the time that routh was discovered, picking off the former president from that position with a rifle that routh had would have been so easy. We would be talking right now about a dead former president. I agree. I agree. And this is absolutely unconscionable to me that this is happening again. The butler, pennsylvania, rally, that was a rally. It is unacceptable appeared we still dont have answers to what happened at that rally but that was a public forum. President trump was at his private Golf Course. He has a right to kept of his feet and relax and go for a game of golf if you would like with his friend. But the fact that this is continuing to happen, this cannot become the norm. And i fear that the mainstream media will be like here we go, another Assassination Attempt. Just like how you get numb to school shootings. It is unacceptable and they have to get to the root of the problem and frankly this goes all the way up to mallorcas and all the way up to the President Of The United States and frankly the Vice President of the United States right now. Gillian nicole, thank you for taking time with us. We appreciate it. Great to hear your Perspective And Insight into this as always. John can we put that map back up again for a second . Everybody is talking about that trump was 500 yards away. He was 500 yards away from the shooter at the time that the shooter was spotted. But that was not the Shooters Intent it would seem. It looks like given his position there, secret in the woods, his intent was to be within a few yards of the former president. There does not seem to be any intention to shoot him while he is on the green on the fifth hole or maybe even the tea on the Sixth Hole. Waiting until he came up right in front of him when hitting him what wouldve been an absolute certainty. That agent, trump should buy him a big dinner with lots of champagne. Gillian compared to past with July 13th, this is a tale of triumph and coordination. It sounds like Secret Service spotted this, alerted others, alerted local police after the Witness Call came in went and found this guy within a mile of being notified that he was out on the road. A lot of things stacked up and went right even after the initial moment. John i have been to that Golf Course a couple of times for Trump Events appeared ive never played golf there but it is so lush. There is so much foliage that to hide within the bushes on that perimeter would be a very easy thing to do. But for that agent to be driving around and walking around in front of the former president and all of that foliage, all of that dense bush to say there is the muzzle of a Gun And Fire in that direction and chase a guy off, that was a miracle. That was a miracle. Gillian we are also tracking that speared the u. S. Is on track to spend more than a trillion bucks this year on Interest Payments for the countrys national debt. This is Interest Rates are reaching the highest level in nearly two decades. Add Lawrences Wife from the White House with all of the details on this. How it will affect us all eventually. Hey edward. It is an unfortunate milestone now. The federal government has paid 1 Trillion in Taxpayer Money to service the interest on the debt. We are not talking about bringing the debt down, were talking Interest Payments. And the Treasury Department said we will have a new record at The End of fiscal year 2024 where we have paid a 1. 2 trillion on Interest Payments. The congressional office projects that with the 7 Trillion passed into law under the Bidenharris Administration the Debt Problem will only grow. Former trump economic advisor believes that coupled with the fact that the Vice President wants Tax Increases remains a huge problem. Its a matter of fact that we are spending ourselves into oblivion appeared we are running up debts that have to be repaid and by the way, consumers have an enormous amount of debt. And the fact that you have this looming possible 5 Trillion tax increase. That is what investors should be worrying about because those things will destroy our economy if they are allowed to continue. At The End of june the director told me that continually spending more than the government takes in will end badly. The termites undermining the foundation of our prosperity that is increasing the amount of our resources going to paying Interest Costs and that leaves fewer dollars for everything else. And the problem is so large that there is no one single solution that does not affect many pe people. The Interest Payments are more than we spent on defense, more than we spend in the education department. The end of next fiscal year, the debt will be 37 Trillion. Gillian all right. Soon we will be talking about real numbers. Thanks. John Vice President harris making her team do not case to the teamsters this afternoon. Will she be able to win the unions key endorsement . Trying to accuse President Trump including how he managed to get so close. Trump Assassination Attempt Task Force Member Florida Congress meant Mike Waltz is here with that next. You have to assume theyre out here doing surveillance for you have to assume there will be an instance where they will be more than one shooter. Why is President Trump not being afforded the president ial level of security am i just gonna take what the markets gives me . No. I can do some research. Ya know, thats backed by j. P.

John Teamster President speaking moments ago after this Afternoons Roundtable with Vice President harris. That was the motorcade we heard at the top of the program. Democrats typically get the Unions Endorsement but it has yet to back a candidate in this president ial election. A few months ago, President Trump was there to talk to the teamsters as well. Time to mobilize it it 1. 3 million members is running out. Peter doocy has the latest. Do we have any indication they will make an endorsement . It doesnt sound like it will be today because weve been waiting for that Press Conference from Sean Obrien and if there was going to be a huge 1. 3 million Member Union endorsing harris they probably would have led with that. It will be at least another couple of days it would seem if it happens at all. Sean obrien who just heard from, the president of the teamsters was invited to speak at the republican national convention, not of the democratic national convention and he said in a statement he said we appreciate Vice President harris taking the time to meet in person with Rank And File teamsters. Our members are the backbone of the nation working in all 50 states and representing every political background. We look forward to having a conversation on the direction of the country and the issues that matter to working people. The Vice President has been talking ahead of the Closeddoor Meeting with the teamsters more and more about her economic plans and she is leaning heavily into her biography. When we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you have in mind for that . I will start with this. I grew up a middleclass kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. My Opportunity Economy Plan includes giving startups a 50,000 Tax Deduction to start their Small Business. It used to be 5,000. Nobody can start a Small Business with 5,000. The Closeddoor Meeting was the only big political event for the Vice President today. We listened a few minutes ago as her motorcade returned to the White House. The Harris Team told us there is a lid for today so any news about an endorsement would be coming from the teamsters themselves. John as it should be i would think. Peter doocy for us. Thank you. Gillian members of the bipartisan Task Force investigating that first attempted assassination of former President Trump back on July 13th now want to know how this happened again a few weeks later. Mike waltz is part of that Task Force and he serves on the house permanent select committee on intelligence. Big picture, congressman, thank you for coming into being with us. I asked Nicole Parker a few moments ago but i want to know what you think. When you look back on yesterday knowing what we know right now, which could change, do you view events as a success for the Secret Service or as a failure or is it more complicated . Its mixed. Clearly the agents responded appropriately as did the agents on July 13th. But there was a breakdown in terms of the perimeter, how that was established, and i think there is a bigger issue here that i have talked to acting secret Service Director Rowe about and the committee needs to take a hard look at. That is how the Secret Service allocates its resources. It is stuck in this paradigm. You are a sitting President And Vice president you get this. You are former, you get that. Obviously Jimmy Carter, W Bush Painting in his Barn And President Bush Excuse me, President Trump and how active he is and how the threats are coming in both foreign and domestic. They need to change this and make it thrust based protective details rather than this cookiecutter approach. John weve been saying why doesnt biden just tell his Chief Of Staff to put the Pull Package . On trump. But you say that already happened. The director of the Secret Serv
