"outfront" next, the department of homeland security warning that violence connected to saturday's rally on capitol hill could begin tomorrow, as former president trump adds more fuel to the fire by embracing them. and nancy pelosi defends general milley's actions in the final days of the trump administration. john bolton is "outfront" tonight. breaking news in texas. 9,500 migrants and counting. many arriving in just the last 48 hours, living in squalor along the border. we're on the ground with video

of this growing emergency. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, the department of homeland security issuing an alarming warning tonight about saturday's rally in support of the january 6 riots. according to a department of homeland security bulletin, officials warning that violence connected to the rally that will take place could begin as early as tomorrow. and that they have detected chatter about kidnapping a specific member of congress. now, officials say they are aware of online threats of violence. also tonight, the fencing around the capitol is back up, and security at airports ramped up in anticipation of the rally. officials are bracing for an event that they're worried could spiral out of control. and president trump is adding fuel to the fire, releasing a statement reading --

>> not sure where to start there. hearts and minds with people tre treated unfairly. for things like this. >> we came this far, what do you say? >> we're done with the police. you're going to have antifa, black lives matter, and the republicans all hating you guys. >> the former president calling for justice for people you just saw and reiterating the election. and he's not alone. his most loyal followers in congress have been push thing narrative, that the rioters are

political prisoners. >> these january 6 defendants are being treated like prisoners of war. >> they're being treated worse therein than the terrorists at guantanamo. >> the reason they've been taken as pse prisoners is they're mak them an example. >> people are going to rally in washington regarding the conditions of the january 6 detainees. >> now, i want to be clear, no sitting member of congress is expected to attend the rally. though some, like matt gaetz were specifically invited. >> i have plans with my wife on september 18. i can guess i can break that news here with my good friend that i won't be attending that particular function. >> okay. he has dinner plans. that's a good thing. no elected official should be give thing rally any legitimacy. but not attending does not give

gaetz or any of if others any sort of a pass. the reality is, they fanned the flames. their words of defense for the rioters are at the heart of what this entire thing is about. just listen to the trump supporters. listen to them. >> they're political prisoners pretty much. >> what are you protesting today? >> the injustice of the political prisoners of joe biden. >> they're treating all the protestors that were there on january 6 as if they were domestic terrorists. >> political prisoners, domestic terrorists. said by theorie taylor greene s, and repeated by the voters. more ominous warnings tonight. what are they looking at ahead of this rally? >> reporter: you make a good point when you talk about fanning the flames. they are concerned that is still going on, that this is something

they need to worry about, and there are individuals, groups, maybe some people who are coming here by themselves, can drive here and perhaps try to start trouble. it doesn't mean that it could be a large group that will start trouble. there's concern that smaller groups may want to incite violence and then it would just grow. the fact that they put up the fencing today, we now know why. they have this information, this chatter that folks want to storm the capitol tomorrow, trying to catch authorities off guard. so they put up the fencing today. there is concern about violence just all around washington, d.c. today, police from all areas around washington, d.c., from virginia and baltimore, all met with the capitol police. they kind of did a walk through, just in case if they need to be called in to help out. everyone here on high alert. we saw that fence go up today. by tomorrow, we'll see an increase in security. because the key thing is, in

these days, the chatter has not decreased. they can't take anything for granted. it's similar chatter leading into january 6. but they didn't know how to deal with it. so now no one is taking anything for granted. that's why we're see thing response. >> thank you very much. i want to go now to congressman jason crow. i appreciate your time. we've got these warnings of violence coming out from the dhs tonight about the rally. and president trump is now endorsing the message behind the rally, so he's coming out today. i'll give this quote again, our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the january 6 protest concerning the rigged presidential election. his words have great power to the people who would attend a rally like this. what are your biggest concerns about it? >> reporter: well, erin, it shows that president trump remains not just a threat to our

democracy, but a public safety threat to the american people. he has made himself the head of a domestic violent extremist movement that tried to derail our democracy on january 6 and ended up in the deaths of police officers, 140 others beaten. this is not over. they continue to fan the flames of it. they are inciting violence. but what's more, it also shows that inaction and silence has a cost to it. you know, when you have republican leadership and republican members of congress and others who remain silent in the face of this, that sends a very strong message that it's okay, and that has a cost to our democracy. >> it does. and i do understand this rally is expected to be smaller than the one on january 6. but one officer was telling the washington post, am i scared? absolutely. so we spoke to a trump supporter this week who threatened -- this

is how police should be feeling. let me just play it for you, congressman. >> in terms of this event on the 18th, you know, people on capitol hill are scared. >> they should be. i mean, the lelection was stole. >> they should be. how concerned are you about police officers being targeted again? >> well, erin, it just shows that these folks are to be taken seriously, and the threat that they pose. they've done this before. they'll continue to it. let's not forget there have been numerous attacks on the capitol complex since january 6. this continues. it's becoming more and more frequent as time goes on, as some of these folks become emb emboldened. i was there on january 6, as you know. i was trapped in the gallery for about half an hour as that mob tried to break down the door.

it was the courage of those officers who held the line, who fought back as hard as they could, until we were evacuated that saved so many lives. these officers deserve our support, they deserve, you know, our praise for doing that. but what's more is they deserve us going forward, making sure this doesn't happen again. that's why we have a january 6 commission and that's why we're doing what's necessary to preserve public safety. >> you talk about some of these officers. several of them, the cap toll police officers, are suing trump and allies for inciting the january 6 riots. roger stone was just served with the lawsuit in the middle of a radio interview. let me play the exchange. >> hang on a second, i have a server at my front door, about to serve me in the latest lawsuit. >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, yes, a civil court in the district of columbia.

nuke, sir. appreciate it. all right. i've just been served live right here on your radio show. >> wow. tomorrow's news today. >> this is a big, big stack of papers, which is good, because we're out of toilet paper today. >> so he's just making a joke out of it. >> i think what people need to understand, erin, these folks don't believe in american democracy. they don't believe in rule of law. they don't believe in our norms and our customs and our traditions that underpin our traditions and our constitution. they just want power. they want to win elections. in many cases, they're doing this to make money. these are money making rackets in many cases. that's what these people are about. they don't care about public safety. they certainly don't care about

governing this country. and that's why they also pose a threat, because they're willing to do anything in furtherance of their end. the good thing is we have law enforcement, we have the fbi, folks in the congress, who take this seriously, who are going to do what's necessary to further public order and do what's necessary in the interest of the american people. >> congressman crow, thank you very much. i appreciate your time. next, nancy pelosi coming to the defense of trump's former top general. and john bolton is defending general milley. a 12-year-old rushed to the hospital. but he wasn't seen for hours and hours. his appendix bursting, his father saying the e.r. was filled with up vaccinated covid patients. and more than 9,500 migrants showing up at the border in the past 48 hours, many living in squalor under a bridge.

very aggrievous concern not jus democrats, but those responsible for our national security. >> woodward and costa book reveals that milley called the chinese twice in the final tweaks of trump's presidency and said that trump would not launch a surprise attack against them. that was on october 30th right before the election. john bolton is "outfront" now, former security adviser to president trump. i appreciate your time and perspective on this. because i know that you have come to milley's defense amid accusations that he overstepped his authority. tell me why do you support what general milley did? >> well, i know general milley. i have faith in him and his professionalism. of course, 99.9% of the people commenting on this book, i haven't read it yet, we're relying on press reports. so i take it at the outset with a certain amount of salt.

but let's tyklook at what the b does say that prompted milley with mark esper, according to other press reports, to approach the chinese in the first instance. the book says that he had intelligence that the chinese were concerned that the situation in the united states might put them in danger, might lead to a wag the dog attack. leaving trump out, if senior decision makers see that kind of intelligence, they recognize that there's a possibility of chinese miscalculation. so the notion of communicating to the chinese in that circumstance, or the russians or other potential adversaries, is just good common sense. and that, i think, is what motivated milley more than anything else. you're not going to allow the chinese to possibly act preemptively because they're

afraid of a strike. or the other side, if they see confusion and chaos in washington, you don't want them to think that we're in such disarray that they can make a strike against taiwan or somewhere else and get away with it. so milley had a very difficult task but one that was dictated or would have been dictated by concerns raised by intelligence that he and presumably all the other national security team would have seen. >> all right. so i think that adds a lot to it, because you are explaining some of the rational, why it would make sense from a defending american national security perspective to say what milley said. one of the things that he said on october 30th call that's getting attention is the specific quote. general lee, i want to assure you that the american government is stable and everything is going to be okay. we've known each other now for five years. if we're going to attack, i'm toing to call you ahead of time. it's not going to be a surprise.

it's that line getting a lot of attention, and calling some republicans, including trump himself, to say milley committed treason. here is trump and others. >> that's treason, and i would think -- i've had so many calls today saying, that's treason. >> violation of his oath to the constitution, but it's also treacherous. if it's true, he should be fired. >> if true, general milley has broken some very good laws, and we ought to make sure there's accountability for that. >> he needs to resign. if not, he needs to be fired. >> esper knew these calls happened. it was not a secret call happened. but if that quote happened, we're going to call you ahead of time, why are they all wrong in their calling it treason or saying he should be fired? >> well, again, let's put it in the situation that milley has

intelligence in front of him that says the chinese are very worried that they may be subject to attack. he can't say to the chinese, hey, we've been reading intelligence that you're concerned here. he can't start off by saying, we've been reading your mail and listening to your telephone calls and i want to let you know it's not what you think. he has to find a way to get into it that doesn't reveal that. they may respect it any way. but it's a very difficult line to walk. whether he said those words or not, we don't know. there's probably three or four degrees of hearsay involved here. i'm sure he will be questioned on it in congress. and he can defend the specific words. but i think it's very dangerous to assume that from not only milley's perspective but others. for example, in situations where i've been involved where the chairman of the joint chiefs has

called his counterpart in one of the capitals of our adversaries, we all talked about it and agreed it was the right thing to do, to make a communication to somebody who needed to hear it. so it would be important to talk to robert o'brian, the national security adviser. mike pompeo, the secretary of state. gina haskell, the director of the cia. did they see the same intelligence, did they concur milley should call his chinese counterpart? and one last part, a large number of people listened in on this call. i know how the pentagon works. there could have been maybe a platoon of people and none of them jumped up and said mark milley just committed treason. >> i think that's an important point, as well. so the book details a blunt call milley had with speaker pelosi, who was worried about trump's

erratic behavior. she says in part, and they quote her, you know he's crazy. he's been crazy for a long time. milley responds, and the quote, is madame speaker, i agree with you on everything. then the book goes on, ambassador, to describe a call trump had with leader mccarthy, the night before biden's inauguration. mccarthy tells trump, i don't know what's happened to you in the last two months. you're not the same as you were for the last four years. that's from mccarthy to trump. so ambassador, you saw former president trump up close. do you think he changed in the time you worked for him? >> well, i'm not a shrink. i thought he was not fit to be president. i wrote about it for 500 pages. let's come back to milley for a second. he is seeing trump on a fairly regular basis here, and as the book says, he's concerned about his behavior. for example, in another anecdote

in the book that's been released, it documented -- a document to withdraw all american forces from afghanistan is written by the president's former body man, who has somehow become the head of presidential personnel, and an ex-military member who doesn't have an official position in the government. and the document comes into milley's possession. he goes to the acting secretary of defense and says do you know anything about that? he says no. so they go over to the white house to ask the national security adviser. he says he's never heard anything about it, either, and goes down to see the president and then comes back and says well, it's void. you know, if you're the chairman of the joint chiefs and documents are coming up that purport to be orders to the military that nobody else has seen but the president's body man, and some person not even in the government, that says we've

got a serious problem here of chain of command and regular order. so i think there's a lot of evidence. i don't know exactly what general milley said to nancy pelosi. the quote i saw had a lot of stuff in it, and i could easily imagine myself saying okay, i agree. can we move on to the point of this call? >> right, right. no, i understand. there's different ways to interpret that. ambassador, i appreciate your time and perspective. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. and next, a father rushes his son to the hospital. a hospital that was filled with unvaccinated covid patient. a family waits for hours to be seen. at some point his son's appendix bursts. plus, a south carolina murder mystery deepens. while the family's patriarch has turned himself in after arranging his own death. medicare supplement plans help by paying some of what medicare doesn't...

tonight, a father takes his 12-year-old son, who is in excruciating pain, to an emergency room that was swamped with unvaccinated covid patients. they waited more than six hours to be seen, and at one point,

his son's appendix burst. a rupture that can ultimately be fatal. "outfront" now, nathaniel osbourne. i'm happy to say your son, seth, is fine now, back home. but your ordeal is one that no one should have to face, and keeps a lot of parents up worried about what they would do in this kind of a situation. tell me what happened, you go to the e.r., your son is in terrible pain. tell me what happened from there. >> sure. you know, walking in, it was clear it was awfully full. you know, my wife and i had to stand while we were waiting. ended up being 6, 6 1/2 hours. it was difficult sitting there with him, kind of watching your child just shimmer in pain. i mean, it was really unpleasant. at that time, it was, you know, like 7:00 in the evening. he was taken out of the emergency room -- or the waiting

room with my wife and she had one of the nurses, so what is going on? why did we have to wait so long? the nurse rolled her eyes and said something to the effect of, what do you think? we're slammed with covid. and that was a disappointing thing to hear. >> i'm sure it was. you're sitting there and in those hours you're watching your child with pain and fever, and in his actual appendix ruptures. this deteriorated in a way that obviously it would not have if he had been able to get the care right away. >> it seems like a safe assumption. this is not my field of expertise, but that seems like a reasonable deduction. >> so you're in that waiting room, and you're vaccinated, your wife is vaccinated, your family is vaccinated. thank god your son is 12 and you had gotten the vaccines. but the hospital where he was treated said that 90% of the

covid patients that they have are unvaccinated. how frustrating is it that unvaccinated patients were, you know, taking all those resources when they could have been vaccinated and your son's health is in serious jeopardy? >> you know, i take perhaps a slightly more patient approach, but quite frankly, upon reflection of what we went through, i think what parent wouldn't get frustrated to some extent as it dawns upon you, maybe my kid didn't have to suffer as much as he suffered. like, what parent wouldn't -- yeah, sure, roach a degree of frustration. i don't want other people to have to go through that. so i don't want grand mas and grandpas to have to i do before their time. i see it here in florida a lot. i feel like this is not a partisan thing to say. i've been accused of it, but i encourage people to get

vaccinated, because i don't want your child to go through what my child went through. that's what i have to offer. that's all i got. >> well, it's also the truth. can i just how is seth doing now? >> yeah. thank you. that's sweet of you. he's not with me on camera, mostly because he's at baseball practice now. so pretty good, right? he's back. >> well, that's great. and i'm happy for you, because five days of your child in the hospital, i can only imagine sort of the fear and the concern you and your wife must have had. so i hope some people learn from this, and i'm glad that he's back and at it. >> thank you for the invitation. >> thanks to much, nathaniel. and next, breaking news. an emergency at the southern border. more than 9,500 migrants showing up, most of them over the past two days, and thousands more expected. it's a complete onslaught and conditions are deteriorating

breaking news. a border emergency in texas, as more than 9,500 migrants that have arrived are living under a bridge and thousands more expected in the coming days. the migrants, many haitian, are camped out in del rio, texas, fleeing a country that's been torn apart by a coup and a major earthquake. our reporter has just returned from an aerial tour of the area. rosa, you're talking about nearly 10,000 migrant, thousands more expected in 48 hours here. border officials are calling this situation unprecedented. what did you see? >> reporter: you know, erin, the visuals are shocking because what i was able to see were three different paths of migrants, and the free flow of

migrants into the united states in a very small area, just behind me. what you see are the migrants coming in. they take a dirt path by the hundreds is what we're seeing. only to make their way to a bridge that already has more than 9,500 people already waiting. and if you look closely at these images, you'll see that there are some resources there. you see port-a-potties for them. these are women, children, infant, men, and here's the other concern. so according to officials, there's a camp that is being started that is being set up. a makeshift camp. and we were able to see that from the air. you can see that people are using blankets, plastic branches to try to create shelter for themselves. it's very, very hot here. you see that they're sorting to live in this camp. you can see on the fence that people are starting to dry their

clothes on the fence that's by this camp. according to the mayor, there's more than 9,500 people on the bridge right now. joe biden has not called the mayor, according to the mayor. he's not received a call from the secretary maekes. dhs says they're providing food and water for the people under the bridge. but erin, this is what the waiting room at immigration is looking like right now in the gates of america. thousands of people waiting to be processed. this is not a processing facility. this is a waiting area. and so that's exactly what we're seeing. and now we're going to be seeing in the next few days is this makeshift camp, and according to the mayor, processing these 9,500 people, erin, could take up to two weeks. that's the backup that they're dealing with here.

that's why they're asking for more resources. >> and tell me about the deteriorating conditions that you're seeing, and also as they process them, many of these people coming all the way from haiti, what are they going to do, send most of them back? >> reporter: that's exactly what dhs says, that they will be sending most of them back under title 42, or that they are going to be in deportation proceedings. but i was at an ngo today. some of those individuals are being processed and they're able to take buses into the united states. i saw -- i met pregnant women that were eight months pregnant, erin, that had made the trip from haiti, from haiti to chile, to mexico, into the united states. this woman i talked to said she had been in this voyage for months. but of course, back to the sanitary conditions. a lot of concerns because this

is a pandemic. some of them are vaccinated, because we saw the ngo ask them, and they had with them their vaccination kacards. so some are vaccinated. >> thank you very much. incredible and just to draw attention to this, everyone should know what is happening on the southern border. rosa, thank you so much for your reporting. next, the south carolina attorney accused of arranging his own death, appearing in court, as investigators dig into the mysterious death of his housekeeper. he said she tripped and fell over a dog. but what does her family think now? the attorney representing her estate next. and a florida woman disappears during a trip with her fiance. we have video of them just before she vanished. ♪ no one lays a finger on your butterfinger.

charged with insurance fraud and filing a police report, posting bond and leaving jail to be confined to a drug rehab facility hours after turning himself in this afternoon, with his role for conspiring to have a client shoot and kill him. it was a scheme to leave behind $10 million life insurance policy for his only surviving son. but he survived. instead, attorneys say it left him with a fractured skull and brain bleed. the man accused of shooting him, curtis edward smith, also appeared in court today. smith posting his $55,000 bond for several charges, including assisted suicide and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. the alleged self-arranged attempt on his life a desperate move amidst turmoil. one day before the september 4 shooting, he resigned from his

law firm after being accused of misappropriating funds, which his lawyers say were used to fuel a drug addiction. >> are they breathing? >> no, ma'am. >> reporter: worsened by the june 7 murders of his wife and son at the family's estate. the murders are still unsolved. >> he has had a tremendous opioid addiction. the death of his wife and son have put him over the dej in term -- the edge in terms oh of that addiction. >> reporter: investigators are also opening two other investigations linked to information uncovered in the family murders. one regarding the mysterious 2015 unsolved death of a seen whose body was found on a hampton county road. and a new criminal investigation into the 2018 death of the family housekeeper. in part, it's due to "information gathered during the course of our other ongoing investigations involving alex

murdoch." she died from injuries sustained in what was described as a trip and fall at the home. but an autopsy was never done. the coroner sent a letter requesting a state investigator re-examine the death, noting on the death certificate, the manner of death was ruled natural. which is inconsistent with a trip and fall accident. now, the attorneys have not commented to cnn on those two new death investigations. the satterfield family filed a $500,000 lawsuit this week, alleging they never received payment from a wrongful death settlement with murdoch. just to give you a preview of what is to come, his attorneys today in front of a judge noted he's no longer a man of any sort of significant means. >> diane, thank you very much. of course, she's been covering this. you know, you just heard diane

mention his housekeeper, gloria satterfield, whose death is under investigation. so i want to bring in the attorney representing gloria's estate, eric bland. so i appreciate your we saw alex murdaugh appearing in court after turning himself into police earlier today. you know, we hear his lawyer talk about his opioid addiction and deterioration and desire to have himself killed. how did the satterfield family react when they saw this? >> good evening, erin. lawyer spin, that's what that is. that is just nothing but lawyer spin, casting a defense that doesn't exist. the murdaugh family has been throughout this whole process not transparent. they have -- with this family, the satterfield family, they

have lied to them, they have taken money from them, they have misled them. gloria satterfield for 25 years was the fabric of this family, raised the children, was a housekeeper, and they have just disregarded what she did for this family. today we are announcing that it is not $500,000 that was taken from this family, it is $4 million that was misappropriated f from this family in settlements. it is a disgrace. we're going to get to the bottom of it, and we have no sympathy or pity for alec murdaugh. >> i want to ask you a couple of questions on that. you are saying $4 million. there's two questions i want to ask. first, you say after gloria's death alec introduced his sons to a lawyer. the basic concept was, look, we didn't do anything wrong, but a

wrongful death lawsuit, that will get you money to the family. don't worry, my friend has it under control, he is a lawyer. i understand gloria's son said okay, and that's what happened. then there's a financial settlement and gloria's family doesn't even know about it, they don't know about it until they read about it in the press. tell me what happened here. you are now saying it was $4 million, and what do you think happened? alex murdaugh, it was basically insurance fraud and he took the money? >> well, he used i think our clients as a pawn. our clients had tremendous trust in murdaugh. they viewed him as family. he took them to a lawyer. it is unheard of in the legal business, erin, for a lawyer to take clients to another lawyer and then ask that lawyer to sue me. that's exactly what alex murdaugh did. he took them to his best friend, his college roommate, and he told that lawyer, sue me, i will have all of my different insurance policies, home owners, excess, umbrella coverage, and i will admit liability, and in

return i will give money to the estate. it never happened. he used his friend and his friend went along with it, corey fleming, and they selected a personal representative who wasn't even a family member, erin. they selected a banker who had no relationship to the family. it is uncustomary to select somebody who is not a family member to be a pr. our clients were never notified of any proceedings, of any claims made, of any settlements made. they only found out after the boating accident when reporters like you and investigators like your -- like cnn went and started inve started investigating the murdaughs. they found out that this had happened, and the newspaper article was written, and then they realized $500,000 was settled and paid in 2018 and they didn't get their money in 2020.

so then they decided they had to go to a lawyer, and that's how it got to us. >> and now you realize $4 million. i mean it is incredible and it appears to be just the tip of the iceberg. eric, i really appreciate your time in explaining this. i look forward to speaking to you again because there is a lot here and there's a lot we don't yet know as you are finding out yourself. >> there's no bottom to this, erin. every single day there's something new. >> all right. thank you so much. i appreciate ., eric. >> thank you. next, we have obtained new body cam video of a 22-year-old florida woman taken before she vanished without a trace. and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex.
