>> missing 22-year-old gabby patito in florida searching for gabby's mia boyfriend 23-year-old bribe landry. gabby supporters held a vigil in honor this weekend. last known public appearance was over 3 weeks ago but she wasn't reported missing until septembe. welcome to fox news live, i'm mike emanuel. we have fox team coverage with laura ingle in jackson wyoming

and charles wattton near landry's parents' house in north port, florida. charles, let's start with you, good afternoon. charles: hey, good afternoon, mike. the search for gabby patito's girlfriend enters day two and authorities are back to carlton resort where brian is known to frequent trying to find any trace of the 23-year-old who now has been missing for at least 5 days. yesterday authorities called off the search around sunset after coming up with nothing. they had about 50 officers from nearly half a dozen agencies out using drones, k9's and a tvs to get through tough terrain in search of brian in 25,000-acre nature reserve, but for many in the community the focus is finding gabby patito and the community made that clear at a candlelight vigil to show support for the patito family as they go through what many would say is a parents' nightmare. >> we just think if it was our

child we would need the support because emotionally i can't imagine what they're going through. charles: now, earlier in the week north port police sounded pretty confident in knowing brian's whereabout, it wasn't until friday when his parents called police and reported him missing that authorities learned he hadn't been seen since tuesday. as for the disappearance of gabby patito police say the family has remained silent. >> they did not share any information about gabby or that situation or what brian shared with them about that situation. their focus with their attorney on the phone is to help us locate their son. charles: this morning we got the first sighting of brian's mother since he went missing. fox digital team confronted at landry home. >> hi, roberta, why are you

covering up for your son, why aren't you helping the police? charles: police ma taken that brian landry is only a person of interest and has right not to speak to police but as more time passes it'll be harder and harder to get to the bottom of what happened here, mike. mike: charles, thank you so much. gabby patito last seen in utah and boyfriend sighted hiking alone. not far where we find laura ingle. what's the latest there. good afternoon. >> good afternoon, mike, the ground search by the fbi national park service local law enforcement continues and prezes on today for any sign of gabby patito and now we are learning that there's a potential new clue as to her whereabouts and maybe where her van was in the days before she went missing but first we want to show you something new that we have. new photos of backy patito given by her family. these may look similar but the images to show a couple of

different angles of the missing 22-year-old in hopes that they may jog the memory of someone who may have seen gabby patito in the august 27th to 30th time range. and now today there is a potential new clue as to where she may have been with her white van in the days before her fiancee brian landry returned to florida with this vehicle. a camper describe vehicle wherer park on august 27th, once this woman realized what she had, she shared it immediately. >> we figured that maybe they were out there hiking or chilling inside, there was no doors open, you know, it was just -- just kind of, you know, need to see a florida plate on the other side of the country is not something that you see all of the time. >> a couple that shot the video. we grabbed still shots of the dashboard of the couple's van both from the body cam footage of the traffic stop in utah on

august 12th and the new van sighting in wyoming and you can clearly looks like gabby's hat on the same spot on the dashboard, strong indication this could be the van and it's important to note this is where the fbi has tweeted an image of a map with these campgrounds circled in red a for anyone who was in this area during the august 27th through 30th time frame to contact them. law enforcement has the area shut down to the public while they investigate this rugged terrain which goes on today though we are expecting the weather to turn here soon, expecting a lot of rain and i do want to mention that i spoke with patito's stepfather last night who said it's these types of tips that are so important, they want the public to continue to provide them, they do continue to hear about these leads that are coming in. we will continue to bring you more from wyoming as we get it. back to you, mike. mike: laura ingle on the case, thanks very much. ♪ ♪

>> mike: hundreds of border patrol personnel expected to head to the del rio sector to deal with the thousands of haitian migrants that have flooded in over the past few days. bill live in del rio, texas with the latest, hello, bill. bill: hey, good afternoon to you, so we've gotten access to the area underneath the international bridge in del rio. take a look at this. this is a remarkable sight. more than 13,000 migrants living underneath the bridge right now after they cross illegally in the united states. take a look. they started using sticks and plants to build temporary structures. they are building any kind of structure they can find because they are living here under the foreseeable future and we want to show you the second shot, the depth shot giving you the perspective of how many people are down here. this goes as far as the eye can see. several football fields wide. there's -- you can barely see patches of dirt in between where

the camps are. a remarkable number of people underneath the bridge right now and take a live look of the drone above, a third perspective so you can take a look at it. again, just showing the scope, more than 13,000 people here right now, border patrol sources telling us that in the last 24 hours just over 2100 -- 2100 migrants have been processed here in del rio sector. that levers 13,000 left here because there was a climax about 15,000 yesterday. take a look at this video we shot here at this encampment last night. we have shown daytime video but we came last night to give you a perspective of what it's like. it's pretty calm. most of the migrants are milling about or sleeping on the grass, much cooler at night. it's blistering hot during the day. we want to show you why there's so many people under the bridge. take a look at last piece of video. remarkable what we witnessed yesterday. we got access to go on the río grande and constant stream of

hundreds of migrants from ciudad acuña walking directly to the united states. constant stream of hundreds. it went on all day lounge without any breaks until texas dps showed up in the evening surging hundreds of troopers there and they were able to plug it up. back out here live we still have the 13,000 migrants underneath the bridge and for the time being all the texas dps troopers that have shown up, they have stopped the flow of migrants coming illegally. once border patrol is able to get a handle on things here whenever that might be, the constant flu of migrant has at least shown down in the area giving border patrol a chance to try to catch up with what's going on here. we will send it back to you. mike: bill, the images are stunning. bill live in del rio, texas, thanks very much. for more on the crisis at southern border we are joined by texas republican congressman and ranking member of the house ways and means committee kevin brady. congressman, welcome.

>> thanks, mike, thanks for having me. mike: all indication that the situation at the border has not gotten better. is it sometime for someone high-ranking in the biden administration to resign? >> you know, i would think it's beyond that time. look, this is all predictable. we said this for months, the situation in the border is not getting better but getting worse and when you visit with the border patrol agents they've been crying it out for months and months. now we are seeing that happened. no one led by this president or vice president seems to care about the humanitarian crisis here, about the danger of these illegal migrants entering the u.s. and so far they've managed to by ignoring it apparently avoid the responsibility but we've never seen it like this in texas, i don't think we've ever seen frankly in the united states. it can't continue. mike: we are showing our viewers live images of the scene under the bridge in del rio, texas,

your reaction to seeing all of those people, an estimated 13,000 people camped out under that bridge. >> yeah, it is -- it's stunning and it's disheartening and it is, again, reminds me of all the children we saw crammed into those detention centers earlier this year. i was in del rio and at the time even though it wasn't getting a lot of attention you were already seeing and hearing from the mayor just a number of vehicle chases, the property damage, the residents scared about frankly their safety in a town that hadn't been affected like this before. this was months ago. it has only worsened and it will not get any better and it's unconscionable that the president ignores this. mike: haitians markets will be flown back to haiti but they obviously didn't just walk across the border.

have you given any thought to how the heck haitians are getting to our southern border and who is basically running the show? >> yeah, it is difficult to tell, two thoughts one they didn't come -- they aren't coming by accident, clearly the word is out that if -- that there are open borders in the u.s. and this is how you access it. what we read and hear about, their seems to be different pathways that the haitians are taking here to get to this border. no one clear path but no question about it, they know there's an open border here, they are willing to risk it and, again, this is all -- these are dangerous journeys especially for young women and young men and i don't understand how this president can ignore it an hour longer. mike: funding runs out in the end of the month and allowing to raise the debt ceiling. >> i don't know what the political calculation one way or

the other is. i personally would like to see a clean vote on a debt ceiling to republicans actually have to go on the record on that vote only and not -- not mix it with a -- a funding measure but ultimately the most important thing is to get both of them done. mike: do you expect speaker pelosi to combine a funding expansion and get into one package? >> yeah, i do. i think they are raising the stakes in a way they can shut down this government and i think do damage to the economy at the same time. i don't understand why they are doing this. what chairman didn't talk about was that democrats haven't had one conversation with one republican about a plan, not just to raise the debt sealing but to get our financial house in order. the emergency spending far beyond the emergency will cripple our finances in the country in the future much less 3 and a half trillion dollars that they are proposing and at

this point it's the democrats responsibility and they are doing the spending and running everything in a partisan way. it's their job to get this done. mike: to the 3 and a half trillion dollar in tax package, what are your concerns about the taxes included in the massive spending bill? >> yeah, most americans think the country is on the wrong track and it will kill american jobs, drive prices up even higher on families and i think hook a new generation, the poor on government dependency and can till up to 3 million jobs over time and devastating tax hikes on main street small businesses, just as trying to come out of covid and doubled the debt tax, number of family-owned businesses and finally president

biden clearly breaks his pledge by raising taxes on low income and middle-class families, don't take my word for that. both the joint committee on taxation and the left-leaning policy center says tax increases on the middle class could start as early as next year. mike: fascinate, kevin brady from the great state of texas. >> good to see you, mike. thank you. mike: let's bring in pennsylvania congressman member of the house appropriation committee. mat cartwright, welcome. >> nice to be with you, great weekend in north eastern pennsylvania. we had a wonderful italian festival and meanwhile we are having halfway to st. patrick's parades and people are delighted to be out in the great weather and well, i'm happy to join you here this afternoon. mike: fantastic, thanks. let's start with the pressing deadline to congress, how do you think it's best for lawmakers to pass a government funding extension and address the government's ability to borrow money the debt ceiling?

>> i tend to agree with john, i would like to see them separated because it's really the irresponsible crowd that want to forfeit the full faith and integrity of the american credit because it's something that would crash our economy, everybody knows that. and i'm so disappointed in mitch mcconnell to hear him talk about not raising the debt limit when we've always done it without much comment and really on a bipartisan basis, so i think the people that want to crash the economies, it's time for them to show themselves but as far as, you know, i just heard congressman brady and one thing that he doesn't mention, you know, he's the ranking member of the ways and means committee. that's the one that sets tax rates and the 3.5 trillion, first of all, i don't think it's going to end up at that number.

it'll probably take the haircut because of senators manchin and sinema and others in the house. it's not about raising the national debt, there are tax increases in there that americans want. you know the 55 top corporations in this country don't pay any tax. now you're talking about ceo's in this country that make 350 times what their average workers make. they can absorb a little bit of a tax increase and the top marginal rate can go up to 39.6. you know, the last time we did a major infrastructure push in the country which was wonderful under the eisenhower administration, the top marginal rate, mike, it was 95%. pushing it up to 39.6, you know, people are running around saying the sky is falling and this is socialism, it's all a bunch of

nonsense. let's invest in our country, let's make drugs cheaper, let's make child care cheaper, more comfortable, healthcare, there's an awful lot we can do to improve the way our country works and the economy is going to take right off when it happens. mike: you mention the possibility of 3 and a half trillion dollar spending and tax package could shrink, is there a sweet spot that would get moderate democrats and the progressive left on board and get it across the finish line? >> that's a great question. i think -- i think there is, mike. i think, look, they say two things you don't want to watch being made laws and sausage and there's some truth to that. i would say give it some time. the next few weeks we are going to be working very hard on these things. we will be having a fulsome debate on, you know, if there's a haircut to be taken someplace, where should it be taken. and i want to say while democrats are engaged in these grown-up policy debates, what do we see on the other side?

i hate to say it but there's ron desantis running around leading the crusade against masks while kids are on ventilators in south florida. i'd say let's protect the children, put on a mask and remember, donald trump is vaccinated, so that's not fake news. he actually is and he recommends that people get vaccinated. that's the -- that's one of the biggest obstacles to our economic recovery right now. we haven't got out of covid yet. mike: we are hearing from employers that they are having a hard time getting workers to fill a lot of job openings, what's your position and what's your view of the american economy right now? >> yeah, it's absolutely true and, mike, i've been hearing and i've talked to employers in pennsylvania and a lot suspected because people are getting $300 extra in unemployment checks every week. but that's, you know, maybe some were but those aren't the ones

that the work ethic that you want back and working for you. our local chamber of commerce did a study and it showed that of the people who took themselves out of the workforce because of the pandemic and have not yet returned, 54% of them haven't come back because of the lack of available child care resources. we are talking about retail and restaurant jobs, mike, so, you know, the money they make wouldn't make up to pay for, you know, a nanny or a babysitter to come in, so that's one thing the bill back better plan does, is it beefs up our american investment in these things that will free up folks like that to go back to work. mike: congressman, busy stretch ahead. thanks so much for your time. have a wonderful day. >> you too, take care, mike. mike: a lot more on this after the show, chris wallace will have exclusive interview with democrat from kentucky john yarmas.

under decline as the white house prepares for its biggest fight yet for the president's domestic agenda. mark meredith traveling with the president, he joins us live from delaware, hi, mark. mark: good afternoon from a very beautiful beach where the president has been keeping a fairly low profile ever since arriving on friday but just a few moments ago cameras catched him on bike ride. no doubt that the president is eagerly to get away after a few difficult weeks in washington whether it'd be focus on afghanistan, covid but as you can see here out for a bike ride a few minutes ago. the white house insist its focus and eager to move the president's agenda forward but we do have new polling out today which shows the president's ratings are slipping, surveyed of registered voters 50% of people approve of the job's performance. 49 disapprove but look at the numbers have just gone down month by month from where they were even in april at 54% but it's not all bad news for the president. in the same survey we asked people is the biden

administration competent and effective in managing government and slight majority, 51% say they do believe to be the case. 45% no. we looked to see if that changes in the week ahead because the white house and congress are going to be pretty much locking heads against each other when it comes to two massive spending package that is the president once passed. one is the infrastructure bill that included the bipartisan agreement that fixed roads, bridges to expand broadband access and the other is that much larger social safety net expansion that's going to cost some 3 and a half trillion dollars. republicans, they are standing firm against this and even some democrats have said they are not comfortable with the price tag. today we heard from one top house democrat who made it clear, they believe now is the time to push this through. >> the country is at a point that we must do some things that we would not do ordinarily and some of the things are going to be pretty, pretty expensive but

the expense, real expense is not doing them. mark: so we have two massive spending bills but congress has a lot on its plate including the need to figure out whether or not they will fund the government pass the end of the month or kick the can down the road at temporary funding bill. also you have the treasury secretary urging congress not to wait any longer and to raise the debt ceiling. republicans have said democrats are going to need to do that on their own. democrats are saying they are working on it but they want republican help. mike as you well know, it's going to be a very interesting few weeks ahead. mike make oh, yes, quite a roller coaster ahead. mark meredith, thanks so much. joining to discuss the prospects of the president's agenda independent senior analyst carrie and democratic strategist matt bennett, welcome to both of you. >> thanks. >> thanks for having us. mike: on spending congress needs to get things done, government funding extension, raising the debt keeling in the next coming days but sounds like the 3 and a

half trillion dollar tax proposal could shrink to get democrats on board, carrie, where is your sense on where things stand? >> i think you're right. i think they'll be a number of democrats including joe manchin and kyrsten sinema, they've said publicly this price tag is way out of the realm of responsible spending and i would say that the tax foundation actually said the true price tag is actually 5.5 trillion, not 3.5 trillion because there are a number of gimmicks in the plan. so the time horizon supposed to be for ten years but a lot of the plans expire after 3 years. that's why the number looks rosier than it really is but most of the these programs once the government gives it, it's hard to take it away so it's actually more like 5.5 trillion in the long-term. we have deficits up the wazoo and inflation that's spiking up the prices for everyone and this is only going to make it worse and i'm proud of the republicans who are standing strong as well as moderates and some democrats that are showing true courage in this because it's only going to

make our country worse, it's going to make corporations businesses because guess what, when you tax corpses, that cost gets passed on consumers, to consumers and that's why we have seen everything spiked in your grocery bill, everything else so i do urge everyone in congress to stand firm against this bill and let's save our future. mike: matt, will democratic leadership get a funded extension and debt ceiling increase and bipartisan infrastructure package done by the end of the month? >> i'm not sure. i think there's almost no question that they will get -- government is not going to shut down and we are not going to let the united states default on its debt. that would be a catastrophe of global proportion. so those things will get done. whether the infrastructure bill gets done or not is an open question and one of the big question questions there is whether any republicans will vote for it. there's a bipartisan group called the problem solvers in congress. those republicans more than 20 should be voting for it because they've endorsed it but it's not

clear that they will, so far only 5 will vote for it. mike: president biden needs a win. take a look at new fox poll on condition of economy, 30% say excellent, good, 69% saying only fair, poor. carrie, how do you see it? >> i agree that the american people, we are not stupid, even though the biden administration is trying to spin this and say that we need to throw more money after things, the way you make the economy better is through lower regulation, lower taxes, not binge spending. people are feeling the pain at the pump and energy prices through the roof and you have joe biden begging opec to increase carbon fuel spending and also this 3.5 trillion, more like $5.5 trillion bill, $330 billion for more public housing. public housing, i used to live -- my sister lived in harlem. public housing, it's harmful for the residents.

it's dangerous and yet they want to do more of it. so just like we saw the catastrophe in afghanistan to continue to expand the government control by this biden administration and future any administration, it's a disaster. people want to be free and want to make their own choices and that's what the poll says. mike: in the new fox poll is america more united since president biden took office, 54%less united, 37% more united. matt, how do you read that? >> well, i think we have a major political party that is antidemocratic that is insisting on driving division every single day. on january 6th, there was a violent attempt to overthrow the government in the united states and the former president every day claiming -- the big lie that the election was stolen and a lot of people believe him even though it's complete nonsense. so, of course, we are more divided because we have

political leaders like donald trump who are attempting to make us more divided, but let me just say about the bill that carrie mischaracterized about 20 times there. much of that is totally untrue. the center piece of the bill is a giant middle class tax cut and i'm not exactly sure why carrie is opposed giving tax cut for those who are working hard and earning more than minimum wage. most is about cutting taxes. mike: thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. mike: battle over c the fight.

>> progressive political ideology, it's not academics. how does looking at skin color or creating victims or oppressors help our children

academically? how does removing homecoming king and queen or father-car dances help our children academically? mike: that was virginia parent arguing against teaching critical race theory amid mounting debate across the nation over how to teach about racism in our schools. joining us now to discuss is executive director the fight for schools pack and father of two children in the virginia county school district, ian pryor. ian you and parents have been fighting schools for pushing critical race theory. >> this started in march when you had private facebook group with several members in it that were trying to plot against parents and infiltrate groups and publicly expose us and hack websites, all that kind of stuff. well, you know what they're taking that seriously and they are going out and trying to intimidate participants that are pushing back against the school

board. i received a letter in june that was clearly design to harass an intimidate another member of our organization. they sent a letter to her workplace saying that she was a racist, they had pictures of her and now just this week there's been a third letter sent to somebody's workplace accusing somebody of committing crimes and all sorts of nefarious behavior and they are all anonymous. it's clear that this is something that was generated, you know, through what they see as fighting people that aren't standing up against racism and quite frankly it's scary, it should be embarrassing for the people that are doing it because what we are trying to do is talk to our government and push back against our government meanwhile you have these private citizens that are allied with the school board that are out there harassing parent through quite frankly interstate mail. mike: interesting. so we had a school meeting in loudon county, virginia this week and you had parents frustrated and venting about critical race theory and masks

and also vaccine mandates. what's the level of frustration right now in your community with the school board? >> i mean, it's through the roof and, you know, we talk about critical race theory a lot but so many issues that have really popped up since the fight began from the transgender policy that they passed in august just this past week they passed a new dress code that is woefully unconstitutional and you have athletes to get vaccinations in order to participate in sports. there's a whole host of issues that the school board really refuses to listen to parents and that's what the fight is about. it's about ensuring that our elected representatives give parents a seat at the table and they listen to what we are talking about and they work with us and try and develop policies that are in the best interest of the children. ultimately that's not what we are seeing. we are seeing a school board captured by the politics of the moment. mike: we are nearly a month into the new school year, any reports of critical race theory in classrooms in your community so

far this year? >> yeah, we have certainly seen some of that. we haven't seen as much as we did last year because we don't have access to the distant learning modules but what we have seen is a lot of, you know, issues where teachers are asking kids what their pronouns are and we have seen a lot more on the transgender and pronoun issue that is coming out of the schools. just this past week a video came out about a teacher who gave a full lecture about sex and, you know, that's not just something that public schools and government-run schools should be doing. that's something that should be in the realm of the family and let parents have those conversations not children have those conversations. i will say latly that there was a debate this week between virginia gubernatorial candidate and one of the most interesting things that came out in mccullough's term, he implemented critical race theory through the department of -- through the department of education and just now we are

starting to get to the tipping point. mike: ian prior, thank you for your time. >> thanks for having me. mike: all civilian space crew speaks out about incredible journey next. ♪ ♪ ♪
