what that was. very terrifying. >> love it. jimmy, try to beat that. >> first and foremost, fox news saturday night, tomorrow night 10:00 eastern standard time. i carried this show and i will carry that one. [laughter] i kid! was into the ego on this guy. here we go. great dad prank. who doesn't love a great dad frank? this dad was concerned he would be able to spot his suitcase at the airport so his daughter bring to him and his face on it and put fonts on it. it is a hilarious story but does not have a happy ending. the daughter's luggage stolen by sam burton. she had nothing to wear. >> that would be fun punk and color-blind people or blind people. constantly. i would have so much fun if i knew a blind guy. see you guys later. [laughter] >> is this a long week, jesse? did it feel like a long week? >> seems like every week is a long week. >> i feel like that toddler.

all right, have a good one. >> bret: welcome to washington. i'm bret baier. two weeks before the start of democrats convention in chicago, the party says vice president kamala harris has enough votes to win the nomination, but who will be her running mate? another controversy over gender and the olympic women's boxing tournament. we will take you there pick whatever happened to banning tiktok? breaking tonight: fresh fears of a recession. yes, the r word, significant economic slow down. this fall as a sharp decline in hiring last month, and a rise in the employment rate. employers added just 114,000 positions, jobs, far fewer than the 175,000 predicted. the jobless rate rose to 4.3%, the highest since october 2021. wall street did not take this news well. the dow plunged 611, the s&p 500 finished off 100, the nasdaq

lost 418. for the week, the dow i am s he fell about 2%. the nasdaq was down 3.33. here to help us make sense of all of this -- fox business. good evening. why the sell-off today? >> thanks so much. the sell-off basically is indicative of people understanding that the economy is slowing. investors are watching credit card debt up, inflation continuing to cut into wages, and an economy that is showing real slow down. they're worried the federal reserve is not going to be able to cut interest rates with enough time to head off a recession. that's what we saw play out today. you are seeing the cost of living is the main issue here. inflation up about 20% in the last three and a half years. i would also say it has something to do with the election as well. when donald trump was rising in the polls when he was just competing against joe biden, we had a real rally.

people were thinking that perhaps donald trump would return to the white house and bring his economic policies along with him, business friendly policies, but the bedding has narrowed. real clear politics batting average says jump returning to the white house stands at 51.3% versus nearly 70% right after the debate with president biden. that is an issue, because we don't really understand what kamala harris' plans are for the economy: only what she said of in the past. >> you have this interview with the present. i told that energy and more tariffs are going to turn the economy around. let's take a listen. >> explained to us how your economic policies that will impact the lives of american citizens differs from kamala harris' economic policies. >> i don't have enough time. you would have to give me like the entire day. number one, basic, strong wind energy. we have more energy.

we have more liquid gold as i call it under our feet than saudi arabia, then russia, then anybody. we're going to be energy dominant. we are going to make a fortune. we are going to supply all over europe, all over the world. we're going to be double and triple what they are doing. we are going to have tremendous energy, and we're going to lower our prices of energy. people in new england pay some of the highest prices and their world. new york will not let a pipe when go through a poor section of new york where they need the jobs. number one. number two, we are going to do a tariff system. we will bring back our auto jobs. we will say to people "we don't want your cars. we will tariff those products and reciprocal tariffs will taken a fortune," but we will tariff the jobs. we want them to build plants in the united states. right now, some of the biggest plants on the world for automobiles are being built where? mexico. right on the border. they are going to make cars and sell them into the united states, and those people in michigan that love me and

that i love and that are going to give us a victory because the auto industry will not exist in two years if she gets elected. >> would also struck you in this interview? >> he articulated how he believes he could put the economy back on a sustained growth trajectory. he talks about energy. he says if you are not -- the capacity in america, you do two things: you create high-paying jobs in the energy sector. you are able to sound like the oil to europe and other places, but it also takes inflation down. the more supply of oil on the market will take energy and oil and gas prices lower, and that's going to help inflation. the underlying component in inflation is energy. oil goes in everything in terms of transportation, technology. he is trying to hit two birds with one stone by using the energy spigot. he wants to extend tax cuts and cut regular should as well.

>> it's fascinating. especially on this day as people are looking at the economy and wondering what is coming forward. this weekend, you might as will take the whole republican ticket. you got j.d. vance on your show sunday 10:00 a.m., sunday morning futures. we will be sure to tune in. maria as always, thank you. >> thank you, bret. >> the director of secret service is the failed assassination of president trump was a mission failure but there were no significant relations in today's first agency news conference since the shots were fired almost three weeks ago. correspondent david spud has details tonight, and it sort of groundhog day, not learning, not much. >> it is. they are given details but figuring out what the new details are. the acting secret service director continued his apology toward and vowed to be better. >> the secret service takes full responsibility for the tragic events of july 13th end. this a mission failure.

>> we asked the director about this video obtained by fox digital from james copenhaver, one of the man who was shot and survived on july 14th, the man who appears to be the shooter on the roof running side to side. when the video was synced to the former president's speech is almost 3 minutes from that moment to the mom of former president was shot. >> that building was close to the outer perimeter. the bottom line is this: this was a secret service failure. that roofline should have been covered. we should've had better eyes on that. >> the director insisted that the secret service was not a mayor there was a man -- aware that there was a man on the roof until shots were fired. credits are asking how that's possible when a video that we just played show someone on the roof in the line of sight of spectators while the former president is speaking. communications were overloaded with calls in the secret service may have missed important warnings, something they will look into. whistle-blower recently came forward to the missouri

senator and said -- personally got funding for counter surveillance measures, with plainclothes agents hiding in the crowd. here is what he said when we asked. >> i did not. >> we have talked to several in the secret service who said that morale is low in the agency at this point. when longtime agent characterized to us -- calling managers "the kings of cover-up." this person said the three things that failed us "where lack of communication -- a leadership issue -- like a personnel, and lack of use of technology --" which is also a leadership issue. this person went on to say that the people "that need to be fired of people in leadership." this is a long time secret service agent. director told us that if people are fired it would be public and he would tell us. people are afforded due process. the fbi criminal investigation continues into the actual shooting itself. the fbi's doing criminal interviews and that will take a while. the secret service is just doing an administrative review. >> we will follow along.

thank you. breaking tonight: speaking of security, a man who says he has documents linking the trumpet shooting to the chinese government is in custody tonight in florida. he is charged with trying to enter the former president's mar-a-lago estate. they are in palm beach tonight with the latest on that. good evening. >> 48-year-old -- was arrested two days ago. it was not his first attempt in getting into mar-a-lago. according to arrest reports, on july 19th, he pulled up to the estate's main gate in a previous and told secret service agents that he had documents proving china was involved in the attempted assassination. they were told by police that he would be arrested if he came back to mar-a-lago. because of this interaction, secret service increased security around mar-a-lago, closing roads around the estate that still remain closed today.

leave lingered in the area just three days after he tried to get into mar-a-lago. cameras around palm beach tracked his previous going back and forth over the royal park bridge. week after that on july 30th at 10:00 a.m., lee drove past secret service points. now in violation of a trespassing warning, he was arrested. it's important to note that trump was not a mar-a-lago that day. a judge did give him a no contact order for a former president trump and anyone associated with him or his campaign. he is not the first chinese citizen to face charges for trying to gain access to mar-a-lago. a woman was arrested in 2019 after the secret service said she lied to get into the club. the former president trump doesn't split his time between new jersey and palm beach that show does split his time between new jersey and palm beach during the summer. expected to travel to atlanta for a campaign rally.

county records show he is still sitting in jail, this man, on a $10,000 bond and is expected to be in court on monday. we are hoping to get more insight on this whole interaction here in palm beach. >> thank you so much. as mentioned at the top of the show, vice president kamala harris has secured enough delegate votes to w win back the democratic residential nomination. already making that announcement more than two weeks ahead of its chicago convention. now, everyone wants to see who she will choose to join her on the ticket. senior white house correspondent jacqui heinrich has details from the north lawn. >> good evening. tonight, we learned a big new hire for the harris campaign, the former obama campaign manager and senior white house advisor david plus. there are reports that more obama era campaign veterans are filling up the ranks. >> bottom line: i say to all the

friends on the call, we are going to win this election. >> vice president harris is officially the democratic nominee for president, after securing the majority of ballots submitted by convention delegates. her campaign had a massive july fund-raising haul: $310 million, bringing cash are meant to $377 million. trump raised almost $139 million at the same time, his war chest is now $327 million. anticipation for the running mate pick also generated energy. >> unless it's a disastrous vice presidential choice, this momentum will leave her in the lead at the end of the democratic convention. >> the decision could have an impact. >> ronald reagan picked a respected member of congress. the numbers for reagan as a competent leader rise. john mccain picks sarah palin, his numbers drop. something about the person of the top. >> president biden says he chatted with harris but is not giving her any steers. pennsylvania's governor, among the short listers canceling their weekend travel plans, as harris finalizes her decision >>

want me to tell you what i'm doing? come on guys. >> state lawmakers joining dolomite joking he might not be around for long. >> of not sure he might be available. if you ask now. could change. all right. all right. >> plug-in now. >> i'm sorry. >> doubling efforts for his release from russia. >> we are not giving up on that. >> want me to tell you ahead of time. >> still reveling in the afterglow. >> what made you feel so confident? >> heads of state. >> the president was in good spirits on the tarmac after the prisoner swap. took a lot of questions. he said that the killing of hamas' leader does not help chances for a cease-fire deal, but declined to say whether he

>> i am so proud to confirm that vice president harris will be the nominee of the democratic party. >> there is a sugar high that kamala harris has brought to this race. folks are upbeat for making that change, but it doesn't change the structure of this race. >> i will say this to my fellow democrats: i wouldn't get sugar high on anything because if the election were today, chances are we're going to lose. they need to get off that and get to work. >> it's been quite something and now it is official: democrats

have nominated vice president kamala harris as their nominee. "the washington post" offi officially -- she secures the nomination with more than 4,000 convention delegates. they had until monday to submit their ballots but no other candidate qualified to challenge harris making her selection all but certain. harris crossed the threshold a day after online balloting be began. just announced, 310 million for july compared to the trump campaign, 139 million, closer than the overall 377-327. you look at the politics average which is creeping closer and closer together. this is an average of recent polls. some polls that have kamala harris up, swing states seem to be holding roughly about where they were june 26th for the last debate. that's where we are as we set the table. hogan gidley is a former trump campaign administration communications official who is now with the ame --

america first policy official -- now with -- governmental affairs of the clean and administration and axios political reporter. i will start with you because you have the easiest title. [laughter] what you think about this right now? is tight. >> the race is tight. it was tight before but it's a contrast from a few weeks ago when axios and others were reporting so many democrats saying the election is over. they felt their chances were done, the trump had this in the bag. there was despair among democrats. that's not there anymore. there is a lot of excitement behind kamala harris. it was a historic switch on the ticket so that's driving some of the excitement, but the fund-raising numbers don't lie. the polls are improving after six months of biden being down from trump and really no movement there. democrats have a lot to be excited about, but there is still a long way to go before november and a lot we don't know

about, her spirit she doesn't have a history of being particularly liked. >> and doesn't this week, it hasn't answered any questions. took an impromptu question on the tarmac last night. the answer was a little all over the place, but there haven't been a lot of report questions on policy issues, which makes a debate that much more interesting potentially. here's maria bartiromo with the former president on that issue. >> are you going to debate her? >> well, i want to. i come out we are leaving in the polls it seems by quite a bit still pick she is better than he has but i think ultimately, she will be worse than him. if it into the debate, they would say "trump is not doing the debate," same thing they will say now. right now, i say why shouldn't i? i'm leading in the polls. everybody knows her and everybody knows me. >> walking around the answer. the harris campaign quick to jump on this. donald trump needs to man up, said he's got no problem spreading lies and hateful

garbage at his rallies or interviews with right-wing commentators but is apparently too scared to do anything across the stage from the vice president of the united states. what do you make of this? >> first of all, he's not afraid of anything and i think we all know that, but interestingly enough, kamala harris is more radical than joe biden and less likable. she is being protected in a way i've never seen the mainstream media protect anybody in politics in my 20 years. not asking her any questions and just taking rode comments from staffers that say she has flip-flopped on all these positions. no one has asked her if she has had a change of heart, because they know it's a problem for her: not just the fact that she is wishy-washy, that she is fake, but she will say and do anything to get elected. this is the same woman who went on a debate stage and call joe biden a segregationist and a sex criminal and then served beside him for four years. no one has ever asked if that was true. this was after she worked with

joe biden's son and did events with joe biden. it's a problem for democrats, but the quicker republicans get back to focusing on the issues that matter to the american people and paint the fact that a harris/biden administration have hurt us in so many different ways in the last four years, the better off they will be. >> by bouncing off of that with the economy and the jobs number today. it was disappointing. 114,000, 4.3 unemployment, and sent the markets into jittery territory, and the r word popped up on wall street. whether that will happen or not, a recession. how much does that factor to where we are on this race, even with this amazing launch, clearly both sides say she had a good lunch. >> no doubt she had a phenomenal launch. we were headed to chicago for a funeral and now wedding. very different feel. the economy is always incredibly important. oddly enough, 4.3 is pretty low

for unemployment. on employment is not an issue in this campaign. i've been doing politics for 37 years. this is the first time unemployment is not an issue. what is the issue is prices, inflation. inflation has been coming down and it is still too high for folks. what we did not see the fed do yesterday is what they should have done, which is cut rates. today's job port makes it clear they have screwed up. that's not a joe biden or kamala harris problem: that is a fed problem and hopefully they will fix that soon. >> how much do you think the race is about the economy? how much does vice president harris were on the economy? >> every race is always about the economy. it's always issue number one. people pick their presidents in a way that is different than the way they go for governor, senator, any other office. it is not about exactly matching issue by issue: it's how do you about these people. i have to strongly disagree with hogan about how people feel

about kamala harris. there's a whole bunch of people that feel really good about her, and there is an enormous swath of the country that feels very bad about donald trump. they know him well, they don't like him. >> we are on our site consideration of trying to figure out the stakes on the other side, veep. your other candidates speaking out. >> some unflattering to even be mentioned in this context. it's a very important choice, and she will make the choice that is right for her. >> not going to get into any of that. i'm going to be focused on making sure she is the next president. >> the vice president has a deeply personal decision to make right now. i trust she will make that decision on her own terms when she is ready. >> the only way i would consider something other than this current job -- could further help their people and help this country. >> a place we call candidate casino. this is the vp harris choice.

$100 in chips. you get to pull them on the table. >> going all in on governor shapiro. >> we rarely see the black ship. >> and going all in. there are signs indicating it could be him and he is politically the smartest choice. could conduct a pennsylvania. if there's anything she can do to get a few extra voters in that state, that will be critical. >> and the launch is starting tuesday from philadelphia, so another sign. there is a mayor of philadelphia a video that surfaced today and they say it is an endorsem*nt. $100 in chips >> i hedge my bets. i used some of my sources putting on my old reporter hat, and i gave what, 75 to ship year end 20 took governor walz just in case. i'm hearing rumblings there, but i left kelly on because -- >> from arizona. >> -- yes, because as more began to come out you see a lot of the jockeying on the

republican side between these people who could be the nominee, the candidate. deceit and backbiting biting each other. we will see if shapiro has enough to last. >> $100 in chips. >> and spreading around the table. we have amazing candidates. any of them would be great. all comes down to his chemistry. who does she feel the best with and look the best with. i sought in '92 when clinton picked gore. they were basically identical to the chemistry was amazing. just exploded woman walked into a room. >> she's doing the interviews this week end, we will see. next, the friday lightning round. gender issues, olympic boxing, "notable quotables." i'll tell them how liberty mutual customizes car insurance, so they only pay for what they need. got it?

olympic scandal. it's a big deal here in the u.s. >> here in this country, we are always taught as young men never, ever do you hit a woman. now the left and kamala harris, not just allow it but celebrate it. they endorsed somebody winning a medal in the olympics for it. this is a problem for the left and this cultural issue has now been catapulted back into the mainstream conversation. because of this international competition we all's on tv, that punch may have heard the democrats. >> intake is important to be clear, khelif was assigned female at birth, is not transgender, did fail one of the tests for a previous world championship that she was going to participate in. this is complicated and nuanced. this is certainly raised this conversation among republicans, this conversation around gender. >> bret: riley gaines is one

of people who have been talking about this and she put out the rewrite went into effect today. the rule she said's, gender identity 52 years of progress protections have been erased with the stroke of a pen. 26 states have sued to block the rule. to hogan's point, don't you think this is more of an issue here -- not because of the olympics but because of where we are? >> there's no question this issue is a real one but i don't think the olympic thing is real. this is a woman, she was raised as a girl, she lives in a country where being transgender is illegal and extraordinarily dangerous. i think this is a tempest in a teapot. >> bret: winner or loser, start down there. >> winner, ruben gallego running for senate in arizona, he got kari lake the weakest senate candidate you could possibly imagine, he is going to win. loser, j.d. vance. he had to say himself he's

basically irrelevant after trump said at and he also has to explain to his kids who have an indian american mother and a white father that somehow they have to choose. >> my winter is some simone biles proving once again she is the greatest of all time. we love seeing a gold medal win for the u.s. losers, stab's prime steakhouse have an answer many questions that are not policy this week. >> the winner of the american people in the butler, pennsylvania, rally who took those videos, we know the secret service was ill-equipped to handle that to expose so many lies they have been telling the american people and hopefully they will shore up their security for everybody involved in this. the loser is that boxer, imane khelif. of us never write for a man to hit a woman i think it's a big problem. >> bret: panel, thanks, have a great weekend. ♪ ♪ it is friday, it's been a long
