at the president's home. now the trump team is not planning to release its copy of the search warrant. the albany times unions and judicial watch have asked the judge to publicly release it. >> bill: happening at the same time the former president testifying in new york yesterday part of a separate civil investigation into business practices. he declined to answer any questions calling the probe part of a larger witch hunt that left him no choice but to plead the fifth. >> dana: the white house and d.o.j. remaining tight lipped refusing to explain monday's unprecedented raid. >> it's not something that i can talk about. i would refer you to the department. >> bill: president biden ignoring those questions as he heads off to a vacation with his family in south carolina. on that trip on camera climbing up the steps of air force one,

his son, hunter, who is also the subject of an ongoing federal investigation. team fox coverage begins now. byron york, david lee miller in new york and we begin in florida at mar-a-lago with phil keating. >> as the national archives pursuit would have believed were still missing secret, sensitive or classified documents presumably brought to mar-a-lago and stored there, while communication began between it and trump advisors and staff trying to get access and retrieve the boxes of documents. what's in dispute is whether that cordial communication broke down in june and july, which the d.o.j. insists did happen. and that the trump advisors still insist did not happen. new reporting by the "wall street journal" says the key thing that led to the search warrant request was a tip from somebody on the inside that there were still missing

records on site. in early june a few f.b.i. agents met with trump staff and later asked for them to better secure a certain storage room containing these documents. the trump staff did just that. as trump has pointed out this week, that stronger lock was eventually broken off monday as the team of f.b.i. agents left with 10 or 12 additional boxes of materials. rooms searched on monday were trump's bedroom, office and storage room. f.b.i. agents were dressed casually and told not to bring guns which they typically do. the journal also reports the d.o.j. this summer also asked for mar-a-lago surveillance footage which was, in fact, provided. a trump attorney who was here monday described the day like this. >> there were about 30 to 40 f.b.i. agents that i saw, five of which were wearing suits, the rest were in cargo pants, masks and gloves and they

basically had unfettered access to the property and refused to talk to me. >> while it has been almost entirely supporters of trump on the ground all week yesterday a banner plane heckled the former president with a message of ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. despite a republican demand for more specifics on the search warrant and details from the d.o.j., it hasn't happened. the trump team has yet to release its copy of that search warrant. back to you. >> bill: thank you, phil keating at mar-a-lago. >> dana: fox team coverage continues with david lee miller at trump tower in new york city. good morning, david lee. >> good morning, dana. the former president's deposition was supposed to take place in january. his lawyers went to court and they were able to delay the proceeding but ultimately they could not prevent them from taking place. mr. trump didn't want to give

testimony under oath and he didn't. instead he invoked his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination. now this is not the first time the 45th president has been under investigation. coinciding with the new york general probe the d.a. is looking into trump's businesses. atlanta d.a. is investigating the trying toover turn election results. when he left trump tower wednesday morning former president headed to the a.g.'s office and as he departed appeared upbeat waving to the cameras. the last three years the new york attorney general is looking into that he -- this is a civil matter but one that if he does lose could cost a great deal of money. in a lengthy statement he called the investigation a scam. it reads i once asked if you

are innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? now i know the answer to that question. when your family, company and all the people in orbit have become targets of a politically motivated witch hunt you have no choice. ongoing investigations include associates of mr. trump. tomorrow, for example, long time trump chief financial office is slated to appear in court. he is facing charges of tax fraud. dana. >> dana: david lee miller, thank you for the update. >> bill: analysis with byron york. good morning to you. so we have a little bit of news about the possibility of an informant on the inside. maybe that's true, maybe that's the case. it is thursday. now we're three full days on and not a peep from our government. should we accept that? >> no. the most incredible thing about

this event, which we should remind everybody, was totally unprecedented. never happened before in u.s. history. we just don't know what happened. as phil keating was saying, it appeared that things were going rather smoothly between the justice department and the trump organization, the trump organization had cooperated. there was a visit by the justice department to mar-a-lago on june 3. a request that the trump people put a bigger lock on the door, which they did. there was a subpoena for video, which trump provided. and then boom there is this raid. no subpoena for the documents. they didn't use any less intrusive method to get the documents and bang there are 30 f.b.i. agents at mar-a-lago. we don't know why that happened. >> dana: one of the possibilities is this idea of an informant. i think that will also fuel a

lot of speculation and suspicion because is that somebody who was willingly an informant or -- not under coercion but facing some other sort of trouble so then asked to be an f.b.i. informant? byron, this could spiral if there is no further explanation from the f.b.i. >> absolutely. in the absence of actual information, all sorts of speculation arises and there has been all sorts of crazy speculation about what might be going on here. but if there was an informant, you have to wonder why is the person informing? is there another investigation going on that they are involved with? indeed there has been a lot of speculation. we know the justice department is looking into the former president in the january 6th investigation. are these two things somehow connected? again, we don't know. >> bill: "newsweek" came out with a piece yesterday afternoon. have you seen that, byron?

i would consider it probably the most extensive reporting on the story, if it all is the case. it leaves you with the impression that the f.b.i. wanted to be in florida when trump wasn't there and they thought they could carry out this act in a more subtle way. that's the impression the piece gives you. at the end of the article it talked about christopher wray and the person they talked to, anonymous official says it really is a case of the bureau misreading the impact. i think as we sit here today that's pretty accurate. >> you know, i had to laugh when i read that piece. the idea that the f.b.i. thought they could raid mar-a-lago in a nice, quiet, non-political way and it wouldn't become controversial? that's nuts. that's simply not going to happen. but the biggest question here is still there seems to be a disparity between the aggressiveness of the method

used, that is a raid on mar-a-lago, and the underlying issue, which is a dispute over document handling. did that really justify this raid? or is there something else going on? we really need to see a number of documents. we need to see the search warrant, which president trump could release if he wanted. but we also need to see the underlying documents that explain why the warrant was granted and that's something the justice department has kept secret. >> bill: thank you, byron. trying to piece it together as we go along. you are doing your best. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: another story going on which is i.r.s. planning to hire these 87,000 agents. in order to do that you have to advertise. so there is a job posting from the i.r.s. and it said amongst the things you should be willing to do is to carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force if necessary to go after taxpayers in an audit.

>> apparently they deleted it, reposted it and deleted it again. if you hear they are giving billions of dollars to the i.r.s. you'll say what's going on in d.c. and what will come of it in the future? one last point on the whole topic of -- you mentioned a moment ago. it is thursday. maybe we'll get a statement from the department of justice today. maybe a statement from the attorney general today. maybe we won't. if we don't, we go into the weekend wondering what was it all about? the other point is i think it's up to 101 days, as of today, since that decision on roe v. wade was leaked and we still don't know who the leaker is. remember we were told they would get to the bottom of that? 3 1/2 months on that story as well. can washington do what it wants to do on its own time without answering questions like these? i think there are big questions that deserve answers. >> dana: speculation loves a vacuum more than anything else

in the world. we'll keep an eye on that and also this from the president. >> president biden: today we received news our economy had 0% inflation in the month of july, 0%. >> bill: all you mathematicians. the numbers beg to differ. consumer prices up 9% from last year and maria bartiromo and what it means for the economy learning forward. >> dana: iran not only put a bounty on the head of john bolton but also on former secretary of state mike pompeo. >> bill: police officers quitting the force at an historic race. it is called a crisis. but one, they will argue, that we can turn around. >> we see law enforcement officers leave our profession at a rate we've never seen before. because of the turmoil that has happened in the last two years we have a crisis right now in manpower.

>> bill: months after cutting tens of millions of dollars from various police departments, los angeles city council members yesterday approved funding for more police patrols in hollywood. that neighborhood seeing a massive increase in crime from a year ago. william la jeunesse is on the story and joins us from los angeles. william, good morning. >> good morning, bill. homicides in hollywood are up 75%, robbery and theft up 23%. the city can now justify that increase and to underscore the violence, two shootings of officers this week. an off duty cop killed in a robbery attempt and last night an officer shot in the face after an 911 call of two brothers fighting. that officer is in stable

condition. a relative also injured and a neighbor hit by shrapnel. the shooter in his 40s gave up just hours ago after deputies used a flash bang and back to move in with armored vehicles. >> officer was shot in the face. hurt pretty bad. i saw him took to the ambulance and the lady was shot in the chest. >> this follows the shooting monday of rookie officer who was killed as he was leaving the gym by a man who should have been in jail. so get this, 20-year-old carlos, a felon police arrested in december and was released the next day. two months later arrested twice for burglary and intimidating a witness and assault with a deadly weapon but he was sentenced to 180 days in jail but was released the same morning. monday he attempted to rob officer who tried to get away

in his vehicle. the man fired multiple times and george gascon has already said he will not seek the death penalty. lapd budget after cuts following that black lives matter protest, crime increased. now the city council is reversing course approving a budget increase adding 700 officers. some to hollywood because of the spike in crime there. shots fired up 35%. >> bill: imagine that. thank you from l.a. today. very interesting. >> dana: some of the nation's top police officials sounding the alarm over an officer shortage saying officers and police chiefs are leaving the force at an unprecedented rate. it is called a crisis. i would agree. national fraternal order of police is with us now. a couple of things here. one of the reasons that you have this problem is 42.7% resignations in 2021. that's a huge increase. 23% more retirements in 2021.

one of the things that we had our guest on earlier this week talking about is that if you take away the police are a good guy -- if you take that away, then there is very little incentive to stay in the police force. >> dana, thank you for having me on. at the end of the day what we have here is a total lack of respect for law enforcement profession that has happened over a period of time. our system is based off the best and brightest applying for the job. what we see nationally a recent survey shows 45% higher retirements with 20% resignation and 90% less applicants in new jersey, chicago 83% less applicants than they had previously and nypd, 42% increase in

retirements this year alone. a crisis created by a number of things. they are not attracting the best and brightest and losing experience at a level that should be a concern to every american. >> dana: what's the long-term consequences of that? i would say for a generation or more? >> i have to agree with you. look, anyone in law enforcement knows that if we found applicants we needed for every position to fill right now we would probably look to 3, 5, 6, 7 years before it becomes an effective officer. a bigger problem we have those that would teach and convey that and relate that knowledge on to the next generation, the next wave of law enforcement, they are leaving and finding more stable jobs for a number of reasons. crime is going up. that resolving door criminal justice system. violent crime created anyone in law enforcement can tell you it's committed by the same people. we need to take them off the streets. allowing them back on the streets makes our communities and jobs less safe.

217 officers shot in the line of duty. a large percentage is ambush attacks of law enforcement because of the uniform. we're in a crisis situation right now with manpower and it is a time -- it is time to recognize the consequences of the demonization of law enforcement and be part of the solution to the problem. one thing americans are united on, no question, poll after poll, they are concerned about crime in the nation and how to move attract that and attract new law enforcement and stop the hemorrhaging. the officers who show up every day, 800,000 across the country, look at the burden they are carrying as well. having to work longer hours and all the -- what about their well-being? we're at a crisis situation. we need to reverse course. bills before congress can give

relief to manpower shortages and training and it is time. i understand and respect the legislative process but right now what we're seeing is a crisis and we need immediate action. >> dana: democrats in the house decided yesterday they aren't going to take up that bill at this point. the pressure is on and the crisis is real. patrick from the fraternal order of police we'll stay in touch. >> thank you very much. >> make my day. there could hardly be anything better to aid my campaign against beto o'rourke than have his campaign aided by new yorkers. >> bill: he said go ahead and try it, right? make my day. the showdown with the big apple escalates. brian kilmeade on the border state and big city tussle continues. an explosion leveling a home, rocking an entire neighborhood

>> bill: 9:30, labor department announced wholesale prices in june were up nearly 10%. we saw a similar story yesterday showing consumer prices dropping slightly last month but still remaining close to a four decade high. investors reacting right now, 250 at the open. good day yesterday for the dow 30 and tech sector as well. come over to the board. a lot of concern about a recession, will it happen? are we in one? a period of temporary economic decline is the definition that takes you over two successful quarters. this is the important point in all of this now. that is the period of six months. that's being debated by economists whether or not we're there or whether or not we dodged a bullet. historically go back 14 years. this was the fallout from 2008.

that was brutal, you remember that. this is covid. look where we went there. and at the moment this is where we are here. you can see two quarters right there in the red. it is not severe like we saw in 2008 or during 2020 during covid, but let me show you a little bit about the concerns here, okay? right before the economic collapse in january of 2008 we were only adding about 11,000 jobs a year. this was the blow-out number in july. that's good, 528,000 for july of 2022. come forward a little bit. this is the concern. for people in america working more than one job, in 2008 it was around 5%. we are getting around that number again at 4.8% in 2022. watch this number. these are jobless claims ticking up starting in may of 2022. three months ago. it continues to rise higher. right now 260,000. the big number is that one right there.

inflation. back in 2008 it was at 5%. we are now at 8.5%. maria bartiromo knows all about this. good morning. thank you for joining us. your analysis on the numbers that we have yesterday and today. how do you see it? >> bill, thank you very much. good morning. they are better than expected and moving in the right direction. yesterday we saw the consumer price index come way down from the month of june in 8 1/2%. better than the 9.1% in june. same situation today with inflation at the production level. producers are seeing inflation up but not as bad as the month of june. we had a reading of up 9.8% in the month of july. that's down from the 10.4% that was expected and down from the 11% that we saw in june. bottom line here, what we are seeing is the price of oil come down. we were expecting a pretty good number on cpi and ppi. look what happened in the month

of july? oil prices were coming off the massive highs we saw earlier in the year. it doesn't mean necessarily that inflation has peaked. however, it does indicate that things are beginning to move in the right direction for oil. oil prices are down but one of the reasons that oil was up was not necessarily an inflation fighting story but more a story of an economy that is not relying on american production. so why did oil prices come down in july? i'll tell you right now it has to do with a slowing economy. you are looking at the prospect of recession, two quarters of contraction is what we saw in the first and second quarter and as a result of that contraction and a sharp slowdown of the economy and expectations of a continued slowdown the rest of the year energy demand has slowed. people are not driving as much. people are not using as much oil. oil prices move on supply and demand. oil prices came down.

that's good news but it's not the whole story. food prices are still soaring. look at a dozen eggs, meat and bread. double digit increases year-over-year and increases month over month. we need to see more of the alleviating of prices and food and energy going forward. i'm not ready to say we've turned a corner. i don't believe so. i spoke yesterday with an economist and said producers are charging what they're charging. stores, grocery stores are not going to let up on the high prices. we'll probably see that inflation at the food level continue. however, you have to believe this is a positive that energy has come down so much. it has only come down, though, because of a slowing economy. the other issue is the participation rate. productivity has plummeted and we need to get people back in the workforce. that participation rate is

stuck and we need to see that as well in order to have confidence that job creation can resume the way it was in the last month. >> bill: let me play a clip from yesterday at the white house, all right? listen to the number. roll it. >> president biden: i just want to say a number. 0. today we received news that our economy had 0% inflation in the month of july. 0%. here is what that means? while the price of some things go up, went up last month, the price of other things went down. >> bill: how is that message being received at zero? >> it is being received as if it's a joke. the truth is, bill, this is more misinformation and disinformation. we're looking at inflation up 8 1/2%. on a producer level, higher than that. so we do have 8 1/2% inflation at a time that wages are

growing lower. inflation is still cutting into people's ability to spend money they are earning. the president is calling it zero inflation. it is just not true. that's not the way people look at inflation and not the way it's measured. it is measured year-over-year to have a clear understanding how prices are different year-over-year. we're running at an inflation rate of 8 1/2% right now. not zero. unbelievable the democrats can get away with coming up with a $700 billion revenue package and call it an inflation reduction act. that's the same thing as calling inflation zero. >> bill: how about that for advertising? nice to sigh. thank you for your analysis. calling you again soon. thank you. >> dana: white house tried that on the "wall street journal" editorial board calling them out. zero inflation? not quite. weekly earnings are still down 3.6% over the last 12 months. >> bill: maria is right about the price of gasoline.

demand is dropping. that's what the fed wants. the food price greater than 10% is no bueno. >> dana: we get job numbers tomorrow. also this. >> dana read sports. >> dana: a big league prospect living up to the hype. watch this. >> swing, high fly ball, deep left field. over the monster. >> dana: he hit a home run against the red sox in his major league debut. called up earlier from aa ball. it looks like he is not leaving the majors any time soon. the field of dreams game is tonight. the cubs going against the cincinnati red. coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. eastern on the fox network. >> bill: very good job dana read sports. i will predict a victory for cincinnati. they have had a tough season

>> bill: mystery straight from the movies in texas. the girlfriend of a college freshman accused of pushing him off a boat three years ago and concocting a story to cover up his death. what is happening in dallas? >> good morning to you. this is a really strange one. the incident, as you said, stems back from october of 2019 just outside of austin. a group of friends from texas christian university were partying together in a boat on

lake travis when 19-year-old jack elliott went overboard and died after striking the boat's propelors according to a report from the texas parks and wildlife department. his parents filed a wrongful death suits against the five college kids on that boat alleging that they lied to investigators about what really happened. initially claiming that the whole thing was an accident. however, the boat's driver later swore under oath that she saw another passenger delaney brennan, shove elliott off the boat moments after kissing and flirting. a playful shove. another passenger testified they kept hearing brennan say he fell, i didn't mean to push him. well, travis county grand jury indicted the five college students late last year on charges ranging from giving false information to a police officer, to tampering with evidence. online records show they are

all due in court for their pre-trial hearings later this month. jack elliott's body was not recovered until 10 days after he went in the water. >> bill: what a case that is. casey stiegel. thank you for being on that in dallas. thanks. >> he is an anti-american governor. i am going to do everything feasible to make sure texas -- people of texas realize how harmful he is. >> go ahead, mayor, make my day. there could hardly be anything better to aid my campaign against beto o'rourke than to have him have his campaign aided by a bunch of new yorkers. >> dana: the war of words between new york city mayor and

they don't report to the mayor or governor. they drop them in and say the class of 25 is 37, the 12 students don't speak english. they need resources, additional resources from taxpayer dollars to make sure those kids can gradually learn as much as the other kids. is there any reason and incentive to do things right? for mayor adams to say it's anti-american for the governor of texas to secure a border and state for its own citizens then ask for the texas rangers and texas national guard to take the illegals and send them back to the ports of entry and do this, guys, add this to the frey. they are saying hey, when we deliver them, we deliver them. we are asking for a wall. you aren't going to build a wall even though america paid for it? texas dollars again. we'll build our own wall. that's a desperate governor. >> bill: if you look at the video migrants coming to new york everybody has a cell phone and nice clothes.

to themselves i don't know who to vote for. does anyone know a new yorker to give me advice? honey, who is that at the door? a stranger from new york? let me find out what he wants. he wants me to vote for somebody else? that sounds good. let's go together and hop in the station wagon and head down there. fantastic. they'll do the exact opposite of what new york wants. maybe a new yorker or californian will answer the door because they've left new york and california for that reason. somehow they are spending all their money without any state tax in helping secure their own state and being vilified by an blue state mayor and another one in washington, d.c. what i would like to see is this. adams and biden get along great. i'm sure he would take adams' call. i wouldn't be surprised if joe biden would get the advice to vilify the governor of texas and take adams' side and get him additional financing to handle the extra 4,000 over the

last five months illegal immigrants into their city and at the same time turn your back on the 3.9 million that crossed, mostly in texas, since he took over. i have never seen such blatant irresponsibility of a leader of our country or a city as opposed to the leader of a state. why beto o'rourke is within single digits of governor abbott is beyond me. if texas is unhappy now you will be miserable under beto o'rourke. mr. take my gun and take the wall down as long as standing on your kitchen table or countertop. >> brian kilmeade on radio and the tv. how does he do it? >> dana: amazing. defies physics every day. good to see you. >> bill: thank you. >> we have just want her home. we are so scared and we miss her so much. >> bill: a mother worried for

>> given that the word god in the text of the pledge of allegiance is capitalized the text is clearly referring to the judeo-christian god and therefore it does not include any other faiths such as islam, buddhism, hinduism. >> bill: it's out and as i told dana once you lose north dakota, where do you go? >> yeah. he is an idiot. i am the most un-- god meant to whatever god means to you. my muslim friends, my jewish friends, when they said god they were referring to their god. when i said god i was thinking of an alien or temple or dinosaur. it is open to interpretation. religion and things like this is respecting each other, taking care of each other. not even a little bit god guy but i respect the message and

that it is important in our schools. sometimes when you say it and think it. i think church and act right. it is universal. whatever you want it to be. apparently he wanted it to be that because he is out of his mind. it doesn't say god, it's your god. >> bill: north dakota. >> dana: free energy supply. good to see you. >> bill: the boss is back. shape up. >> we just want her home. we're so scared and we miss her so much and we love her so much and we love you. if you have any ideas or thoughts, please come forward and share them and we are not looking to arrest anybody or get anybody in trouble. we just want to bring our daughter home. >> dana: a mother pleading for help as police expand the search for a missing teenager last seen at a large party near lake tahoe in california last

saturday. i'm dana perino. good morning. >> bill: nice to sigh. i'm doing all right. how are you? >> dana: 59 minutes left with you. >> bill: thursday. i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. the trail growing colder by the hour as hundreds of local, state and federal officers join the search for 16-year-old kylee rodney. police releasing a surveillance image in front of a store friday night hours before she vanished from the party. dive teams and planes and helicopters looking for any sign of the missing girl or her car. so far they have found nothing. >> we do not have any new leads and i can tell you it's frustrating for us and we want to reiterate anyone, please, anyone that was at the party that night, please come to law enforcement, please call the tip line. it is anonymous if they want to remain that way. we can't urge enough that

people that were there know something. >> dana: christina coleman with the latest in the investigation. what do you know this morning, christina? >> all of this very disturbing. kiely rodni has been added to the list. rodney was last seen on saturday around 12:30 a.m. in northern campground near truckee. witnesses say there were more than 100 teens at a party. one of her friends told a tv station that she was not in the right state of mind to drive home from the party and she is worried someone may have offered her a ride but didn't take her home. her mother pleading for answers and recalled her last interaction with her daughter the night of the party. >> we got home around 11:00 and she sent me a text at 11:30 telling me that she was going

to be leaving at about 12:15 and coming home. i asked her to wake me up when she got in. it was always what we did and she said okay, mom, i love you. and that was the last. >> heartbreaking to hear a mom sound like that. hundreds of volunteers are searching that steep terrain to find her and dive teams also search for her. this is surveillance photo of her in a business hours before she disappeared and a photo of her missing vehicle. 2013 silver honda. police believe the newly released images lead to answers. >> i think everybody realizes the longer it goes on harder to keep people engaged. we don't have the right area to search. we don't have a location to go to. >> her family is offering a $50,000 reward for information

that leads to her. authorities are treating this case as an abduction because they haven't been able to locate her vehicle. there is no signs of a crash from an aerial search and her phone has been out of service since saturday since she vanished, dana. >> dana: thank you for the update. we'll get an update on the latest developments directly from the public information officer at the sheriff's office later this hour. >> the idea he was subject to a subpoena, complied with it and didn't challenge it, voluntarily showed the storage room to the agents, followed their advice, secured it to meet their demands, all of that is hardly a basis for saying now we need to send in 40 f.b.i. agents on an nighttime raid. >> that's professor jonathan turley raising questions about the legal basis of the f.b.i. raid on former president trump's home in mar-a-lago, florida. the former president stepping up his criticism of the raid as

basically unamerican. david spunt picking up the story from washington >> good morning. it is against d.o.j. policy to comment on an ongoing investigation. officials inside the building typically don't do it. attorney general merrick garland is the boss and has the discretion to do so if he wants to make a comment. we haven't heard anything from him. f.b.i. director christopher wray was in nebraska meeting with agents and answered some reporter questions. was asked about this and told them to ask d.o.j. watch this. >> well, as i'm sure you can appreciate, that's not something that i can talk about so i refer you to the department. >> in you details about the early june meeting we told you about between trump officials and d.o.j. officials. during that meeting trump lawyers took the d.o.j. team took the room to the resort where boxes of material were stored. some of it viewed by the d.o.j. team was labeled sensitive. our source wouldn't say they

had a specific designation such as classified or top secret. it is also unclear whether the d.o.j. team asked at that time for a spifs i can inventory list of those remaining material items being stored. after months of high-level back and forth negligent yaixs between the trump team and the government over potentially classified information, broke down at some point between june and this search on monday. that's why this took place on monday. according to several sources familiar with the search in prior meetings. the former president's team denies this and claims donald trump has been cooperating and happy to turn over the requested material. law enforcement sources claim that is misleading. the former president's son eric told the daily mail the f.b.i. refused to turn over the search warrant that trump's own attorney said she was given. so the trump team apparently has the warrant in some form in custody. federal magistrate judge bruce reinhart signed the warrant. the trump team has the warrant and inventory sheet but there are no plans to release it.

back to the federal magistrate judge, bruce reinhart has given the department of justice until monday to make an argument why or why not they don't want to release it to the public. they could release it to the public and then all the questions would be answered that we have had over the past few days and give us a tremendous insight into what went on an mar-a-lago. >> bill: certainly advanced the story. david, thank you. david spunt in d.c. >> dana: let's bring in tom dupree. assistant attorney general. this is a former assistant secretary of state for george w. bush and intel officer. this is how he thinks it will go down. watch. >> this looks presumptively like a fourth amendment violation right out of a textbook. this was an utterly unnecessary raid. there was a subpoena served about 12 weeks ago. the president -- former president fully complied with the subpoena. my gut honestly is this is a

stain on our republic that will not long be forgotten. >> dana: what is your assessment this morning? >> my assessment is i am as curious as anyone what was the application to the judge in florida. the mystery is what crimes is the justice department investigating. is it nothing more than a dispute over archived materials? two, why was a search warrant necessary? typically these types of disputes are resolved by way of compromise, negotiation. maybe a subpoena. they never escalate to the point that you have to execute a warrant with f.b.i. agents. >> bill: tom, if you have material in your possession that belongs to the government, sandy berger is an example from 20 years ago, egregious example, nation-archives and stuffing it in his sofjts he was given probation and suspect pended for three years but got

his top secret clearance returned to him. the question would be have you seen a government official go to jail or be punished more severely than sandy berger was at any level? >> bill, i'm not aware of anything like that. you are right. we have examples like this. they are pretty egregious. sandy berger stuffing 9/11 materials into his socks and david petraeus sharing materials with someone not authorized to see it. the justice department will prosecute but very rare they would crack down with prison sentences or things like that. i don't want to downplay any violation of federal law but there are some federal laws that are enforced more strictly and in a more punitive manner than other laws. >> dana: what about the idea of the warrant and should people be allowed -- should we the public be allowed to see the warrant? i don't think that the

president should have to do that, right? the burden is not on him to release it. he could if he wanted to but the burden is not on him. >> at this point i would say the burden is on the justice department to come clean with what led to this extraordinary action. as you reported, there is an effort right now to unseal that warrant. i'll be very interested to see what the federal judge does with that. i've argued in front of this judge and i think he will take this request very seriously. typically warrants are kept under seal if necessary to protect an ongoing investigation. not clear that's necessary here. i would think the justice department of all institutions would appreciate the need for transparency, disclosure and explaining and calming the concerns among the american public on what led to the raid on monday. >> bill: is reinhart in florida who you are referencing? >> i've been in front of him. >> bill: explain to our audience what he is like. what is he all about?

>> you know, he was -- he asked a lot of questions. i had a case involving an effort to squash a subpoena. we argued in front of him and he asked a lot of questions and he ruled in my favor. thoughtful guy. see what he does with this request. >> bill: come back. tom dupree. i mentioned the "newsweek" article filed yesterday afternoon. encourage all viewers find it. the best write through yet. the impression it will give you, at least it gave me, the f.b.i. didn't think it would be this big a deal. >> dana: right, i know. it made me think of the whole thing remember i said that every democratic administration needs to have an ainsley hayes? that was from the west wing show. she was the one republican she hired and had to work in the basement of the west wing and pull her up and say how do you think it will go? they don't have anybody like this apparently. i could name a million examples. this one is so egregious you have to wonder.

>> bill: if the impression we were left with and given the same impression. if that is true, then that is -- >> dana: shong. >> bill: a misread. fox news alert now southern border we go. cameras capturing hundreds crossing illegally in the span of only two hours. this as we get word of two major fentanyl busts. it is happening again. details on that coming up. >> dana: meanwhile is single pill of fentanyl is all it took to kill this 17-year-old. the opioid is responsible for deaths of thousands of americans. could a first of its kind court case help turn the tide? >> one pill can kill and there is no safe pill out there. i'm a performing artist. so a healthy diet is one of the most important things. i also feel the same way about my dog. we were feeding her dry, triangle shaped ingredients long as the yellow brick road. we didn't know how bad it was for her until we actually got the good food.

>> dana: no let-up in the crisis along the southern border. migrants entering the country illegally by the thousands on a daily basis and drugs, deadly poison killing americans every single day. bill melugin is live in normandy, texas. i don't know if we've seen you there in normandy. what is going on in your neck of the woods there, bill? >> good morning to you. normandy is outside of the eagle pass area, the tiny texas town, 30,000 people. every day they are getting

inundated by large groups of immigrants. this is what's left over of a large single group of 200 that crossed illegally here. as you can see what's left over waiting for transport is all single adult men. most guys from cuba, venezuela and nicaragua. those countries are not being title 42. almost everybody you are looking at will be released into the united states. not the only group we've seen. look at the video we shot same spot yesterday here in normandy, a bigger group of approximately 300 that came across all at the same time. basically the exact same situation. the early morning hours, huge groups being pushed across by human smuggling organizations. and cartel groups. these people were from all around the world. central and south america, africa. there were a couple of people from asia. multiple pregnant women. ambulance had to be called out. a huge drain on border patrol resources and earlier in the day yesterday we saw another group. look at this piece of video just after sunrise we saw a

group crossing into a private pecan orchard and the size of the bigger group after they came across. another group of approximately 150 that crossed in the eagle pass area. the del rio sector has been getting hammered. just since october they have had more than 390,000 illegal crossings. that's equivalent to the population of new orleans, louisiana. in the meantime elsewhere on the border deadly fentanyl continues to come across. cbp in arizona seized 77,000 fentanyl pills at the port of entry there as well as six pounds of heroin and one pound of a painkiller. secret compartment of a vehicle. great job by the agents. the last photo here border patrol in the tucson sector of arizona making their own fentanyl bust. agents found seven pounds of fentanyl hidden in a secret

compartment in a vehicle in a place more than 50 miles inland from the border. just goes to show traffickers are constantly trying to get deadly drugs into this country. back out here live it is not just the deadly narcotics. dangerous people are coming across as well. border patrol announced that over the weekend they arrested a rapist with conviction in virginia. this plays out every day in the eagle pass area. >> dana: thank you for that. fentanyl is wreaking havoc in the u.s. the number of deaths from synthetic opioids nearly doubling over the past three years. our next guest lost her son to a single pill. laura, i'm so sorry for your loss. tell me about zach and what happened. >> thank you for letting me share our story.

zach was a wonderful kid. he was very typical teenage boy. he was 17. high school senior. we were in a suburb of sacramento. this was a new problem in our area. there was no awareness of fentanyl. but zach took one pill that was sold to him as a prescription pill and that one pill ended his life on december 27th of 2020. ever since we got confirmation as what ended his life, his father and i have tried to be just advocates, awareness advocates around this issue. >> dana: sold to him illegally. what have you found in your fight for justice? >> we're really in a fortunate situation with that. we were able to get it to the authorities right away. because he had no history with drug addiction and there were no drugs in his room. it was a real mystery when his

father found him. they were able to locate the person who had sold this to him through social media. we do have a plea deal and sentencing will be on september 1st. >> dana: there will be somebody who pays the price for this. in the meantime you want more people to be educated. what are you doing in that front? >> i joined with other grieving parents. there are so many of us tragically around the country who have incredibly similar stories to my son, zach. when i became aware and thrust into this space in the most tragic way possible i was able to join forces with other parents who were already very strong advocates who could bring me up to speed on what the crisis was about. i volunteer and work now with a nonprofit called song for charlie and our whole mission is to educate and warn families and young people. middle, high school, college. we have a lot of tools and

resources that schools and parents and students can implement to get the word out. if a pill does not come from your doctor or pharmacy, do not take it. >> dana: do you feel with your efforts, do you feel that people are now becoming more aware, both parents and teenagers? >> absolutely. there is definitely more awareness than there was 19, 20 months ago when i lost zach. we really felt in this black hole. there was -- there were other parents doing information but it was pretty regionalized. i'm seeing a lot more in the national space and families coming together. my local community has been amazing. they have rallied around us. they have been incredible. >> dana: we have all these pictures. zach was a beautiful child and i am so sorry for your loss. thank you for what you are doing to make sure that other parents don't have to go through the same. >> bill: tough story. good luck. thanks for being here.

general soleimani two years ago responsible for the deaths of over 600 american troops. there is a member of the revolutionary guard and wanted by the f.b.i. he plotted the murder of top trump officials from outside the united states. the scheme involved an over of $300,000 to a person he met over social media to eliminate john bolton and mike pompeo. the former national security advisor thanked the feds for uncovering the plot and initiating the criminal proceeding. the f.b.i. for its diligence in tracking the iranian regime's threat to american citizens and secret service providing protection against tehran's efforts. >> this is a case of iran not simply carrying out terrorist attacks against american service members or diplomats in iraq, of which they have done an awful lot over the years. but trying to kill americans on

american soil. >> since the killing of soleimani in a drone strike in january of 2020 iran placed the u.s. military central command on its terrorist list. the justice department announced the charges yesterday. >> this is not an idle threat and not the first time we have uncovered brazen acts by iran to exact revenge against individuals on u.s. soil. >> in 2011 soleimani tried to kill saudi arabia's ambassador to the united states at a restaurant in the capitol. >> dana: lucas tomlinson, thank you. >> the i.r.s. is seeking agents willing to carry a firearm and use deadly force if necessary. let's bring in dan henninger to talk about this. welcome back here. here is a couple of things online. key requirement for the applicants is that they have to be legally allowed to carry a firearm. major duties include carry a firearm and be willing to use

deadly force and participate in arrests, search warrants and other dangerous assignment. part of the law enforcement branch of the i.r.s. when the time they could be super sized very soon. did you know of this? >> well, the part i didn't know about was the idea that you have to be willing to use quote deadly force. i mean, we're thinking here that these are i.r.s. auditors, milquetoast accountants and they are being asked to use a gun with deadly force against people they are auditing. i guess the i.r.s. concluded there is a lot of crime out there and one wishes the government would afford the same degree of self-protections to say the average store owner in new york city dealing with crime. people already faced with increased audits from the

i.r.s. and audit is upsetting enough as it is. this is almost a bridge too far. >> dana: let me get your take on what the president's economic advisor said yesterday on air about uday its. >> i think what people are feeling as a personal reaction to the possibility of the doubling of your chances of being audited. have you ever been audited, sir? >> i have never been audited. i actually have a great record in paying my taxes. >> even people who are audited. >> did you get audited? >> we have to prove their innocence. >> most people haven't been audited. it is illegal to evade taxes and you may well be audited. >> dana: it was a frustrating answer. your take, dan. >> it is very frustrating. dana, here is the reality that is going on with this effort to hire all of these new i.r.s.

agents. in the past two years the government has tried to spend up to nearly $6 trillion. and a lot of money. i think the american public knows that money doesn't grow on trees. it has to come from somewhere. and the democrats have had difficulty in the past couple years raising taxes. so what are they -- what they are resorting to now is beating income out of the income that already exists out there in the country. in other words, mainly small business owners i think and sub chapter s corporation holders are the people who will be audited by these agents. and the idea behind it is look, we need the income. you send it to us, the government. we will spend it and by the white house's argument inflation will come down. it reflects no understanding at all of the way the private sector works. small business owners typically take their profits and reinvest them in their companies. now they want them to send the money to uncle sam.

>> dana: right. >> bill: dan, we're still waiting for news out of mar-a-lago. i know you are, too. you wrote about it today. here is your headline "wall street journal." mar-a-lago search shows the swamp's trump obsession. just explain that a little bit here what you were getting at. >> well, my view is a political one here. i think the democrats feel that donald trump is someone they can keep hitting relentlessly. it started after the inauguration in 2017. we had the russian collusion narrative based on the steele dossier. that came to nothing. so you roll forward to what is going on in mar-a-lago and you already have a country deeply divided, deeply polarized, and this looks like more of the same. i understand that trump's behavior during january 6th was very, very troubling. be that as it may i think they

we're live at a cattle farm in california. >> i'm sure you've noticed steaks and burgers are costing more and the drought is having a big impact on that. the land is less suitable for grazing and ranchers have to turn to the expensive feed with the war of ukraine impacting the grain supply. it is becoming so bad in some cases it can be more he can call for farmers to cull the herd rather than feed them and less meat. i want to bring in mike williams. the owner of this cattle company. you have 200 cows right now. have you seen it gone down and had to cull the herd because of the drought? >> we're running a third of what we would normally be running oh than this ranch. it has been dry in california for several years. this isn't a one-time. we've been gradually cutting numbers for several years. >> if you want to expand your herd eventually how will it be with profitability? >> it is a difficult think

the conviction should be thrown out. claudia cowen has followed the trial for almost two decades. good morning. >> good morning, bill. that's right. this make or break moment in scott peterson's fight for a redo really hinges on whether this judge decides that one of the jurors from his original murder trial was so biased it prevented peterson from getting a fair trial which everyone is guaranteed. juror number 7 and outspoken about her belief that scott murdered his pregnant wife on christmas eve, 2002 and co-wrote a book about the case. she had a few legal en tangmentments of her own and taking out a restraining order when she was pregnant. she failed to mention it on her juror questionnaire. if peterson's lawyer knew about it they wouldn't have let her sit in judgment of a man

accused of hurting his unborn child. they say she wanted to punish peterson. she denied any wrongdoing and wasn't biased against peterson until after she heard the evidence against him. scott peterson is 49 years old and been in prison almost 20 years. the rest of his life rides on the outcome of this hearing which actually began back in february but because of covid and other issues, closing arguments have been delayed until today. so in the weeks ahead, the judge will decide if there was juror misconduct and if scott peterson should get a whole new trial. it would be a redo of one of the most infamous murder trials in recent history. if it happens, bill, scott peterson's lawyer said he will present new evidence that will clear his client. back to you. >> bill: claudia, thanks. a lot on the line and we'll be in contact. >> dana: hang 10 or 20. these dogs showing their skills
