♪♪♪ >> well, it's august 15th. some hot stuff all across the country. make it a great day. >> thank you so much for watching. listen to brian on the radio right after this. >> bill: good morning, everybody. monday 9:00 fox news alert. one year after the taliban swept into kabul and took control, republicans in congress set to release a review of the botched u.s. withdrawal. a draft of that document shows more than 800 american citizens were left behind. one year later the taliban rule afghanistan with an iron fist. trey yingst is back on the grounds in kabul and we'll speak with general jack keane where we are today. first growing calls for

transparency on the f.b.i. raid of former president trump's estate in florida as we learn more about what took agents -- what the agents took during the search. we have a hint for you. it was a lot. we say good morning. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." that was a good hint. good job. >> bill: andy mccarthy did great reporting over the weekend how many documents were taken and how many considered classified and how many were we're legally allowed to take this box and that box and they got a lot. >> dana: we have a little more information. f.b.i. documents say that agent seized 11 sets of classified documents. one was marked top secret sensitive compartmented information. four top secret, three marked secret and three confidential. also taken the order granting clemency for roger stone and multiple binders of photos. >> bill: some of the records

seized are covered by attorney/client privilege and a growing number of republicans calling on the d.o.j. to release the affidavit. that's the piece of paper that was taken to the judge to make the case for the search in the first place. they argue the a.g. merrick garland signed it to obtain the search warrant and they want to see it. watch. >> remember, this is the justice department that treated moms and dads as domestic terrorists. the administration that is going to unleash 87,000 i.r.s. agents to harass american taxpayers and families. >> unprecedented action that needs to be supported by unprecedented justification. >> a question whether or not they did exhaust as attorney general garland said all other means to do this rather than making this unprecedented move. >> dana: we have steve harrigan live at mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida, with the latest. good morning, steve. >> good morning, dana. president trump demanding some

of those documents back saying they're protected by attorney/client privilege. the president also saying this raid was politically motivated writing on truth social president trump said america has never suffered this kind of abuse in law enforcement for the f.b.i. to raid the home of the president of the united states or any president is totally unheard of and unthinkable. this break-in was a sneak attack on democracy. the white house says there was no politics involved in the raid. a decision made by the department of justice. some current and former republican officials are calling for more transparency. they want more information about the affidavit that was behind this raid and they say they are concerned the raid itself could become open ended. >> what i thought they were up to here was basically trying to do a fishing expedition to see if they could find information that's relevant to the capitol riot that might help them make a case arising out of january

6th and looking at the warrant i think that's exactly what it is. >> the criminal investigation into these documents is expected to take months. dana. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: thank you, steve. former federal prosecutor and former u.s. attorney. good morning to you. listening to you last week you had interesting things to say and want to get you back on the record here. from over the weekend here is the white house position as to whether or not they had a heads-up or had any information. watch. >> we do not interfere or get briefed. the department of justice again when it comes to law enforcement matters it is independent. complete independence and i'm not going to comment on that. none of us will. we'll let merrick garland speak for himself. >> bill: give us your evaluation. day eight. >> good morning, bill and dana. great to see you. thank you for having me on.

i would say it's beyond laughable that the white house is claiming that they didn't have a heads-up, that they weren't briefed on it. there are liaisons between the department of justice and the white house who communicate regularly, in fact, daily. the president himself is briefed on all high-level actions by the department of justice as he is other agencies. so that doesn't pass the sniff test. like after the press statements issued by merrick garland, we're left with more questions than we have answers and it seems that they're multiplying and it is always a bad sign when it comes to d.o.j. action that is unprecedented. >> dana: marco rubio sent a letter to the senate intelligence committee -- asking the attorney general saying in his remarks the a.g. claimed there was a ub is stanchion public interest in the execution of an unprecedented search on president trump. the intel committee asked the department of justice to share with us the specific intel

again documents seized from mar-a-lago. that is a possibility. the point about the white house knowing or not knowing. i talked to a few people this weekend that challenged me from last week. i suggested the justice department would tell somebody see white house, maybe they decided not to tell the president. they maintained they don't think the white house should have been told. in a situation of this magnitude, i can't imagine as the commander-in-chief as biden not wanting to know that something of this magnitude was going to happen. it is one thing to say maybe they were informed and telling us they aren't. that would be one problem. but what about the other problem what if they actually didn't tell them at all? >> yeah, i mean, it is implausible they didn't tell them at least a heads-up so they know. this is also about whether or not a president, a sitting president who indicates he has declassified documents, that

the white house contained, and how those documents ended up from the white house to mar-a-lago and what happened in that transition, if anything. and what were the communications with d.o.j. while the president trump had these? so the white house is involved. it is the location where apparently much of the evidence at issue -- the status was important at the time. let's say they didn't give them any indication that this was going to happen. it suggests that they are more concerned about getting out there and having a narrative in which they show these f.b.i. agents raiding mar-a-lago. it is not about the agents themselves, the 30 individuals. it is those that are pulling the strings and calling these decisions. that happens at the highest levels of both branches of the government. >> bill: notwithstanding in the end whether the white house knew it or not i'm sure everywhere you went this past weekend people were saying what's going to happen here?

when people ask you that, what do you tell them? >> you know, there are so many statutes and regulations that are passed in the federal system. over 300,000, bill, that have criminal penalties. over 300,000 statutes and regulations with criminal penalties. i used to say if i had the inclination to prosecute someone, i had the power to go after them. it is an incredible amount of responsibility for a prosecutor. here we have a department of justice who has outlined three or four different statutes they think are at issue but the search warrant itself was very broad. whatever they can gather that fits into the theory of criminal activity that they are investigating, there is a strong chance they can get a grand jury to indict. that happens every day in this country. there are a lot of individuals that are innocent that get

prosecuted because the prosecutors have so much power. we have not checked that power for decades in this country. >> dana: day eight as we look. >> bill: we'll talk later in the week. >> thank you. >> dana: bloody attack on salman rushdie. he is recovering after being stabbed repeatedly at an event in new york friday. the man accused in the stabbing pleaded not guilty to assault and attempted murder. >> not only is iran denying involvement they are blaming the victim and his writings. a spokesman for the foreign ministry. >> salman rushdie exposed himself to power play lar anger and fury through insulting the sacred of islam and also red lines of followers of all divine religions. we don't consider anyone

deserving reproach or condemnation except for rushdie himself and his supporters. >> the u.s. secretary blinken released a statement. they gloated about the attempt on his life. this is despicable. he published his book in 1988 leading to the ayatollah to issue a death edict in 1989. a translator of his book was murdered a couple years later and rushdie was added to the al qaeda hit list. this led up to the attack on friday in western new york. prosecutors say rushdie was stabbed 10 times on stage at a literary event in a targeted and premeditated attack by 24-year-old matar who leaded

not guilty. his social media -- his mother told the daily mail her son changed a lot after a recent trip to lebanon. more religious and introverted. rushdie is on the road to recovery. the 75-year-old was taken off the ventilator and speaking but remains in critical condition. >> dana: thank you for the update. >> bill: what a story. our fox news cameras over the weekend catching more than 500 illegal crossings at the southern border. this weekend alone just our cameras. this as more migrant buses from texas arrive in new york city and tell you how it goes down. >> dana: hunter biden on vacation with his dad in south carolina as we learn even more about his business dealings. this time with a romanian real estate tycoon. >> bill: new report on the deadly shooting on the set of the movie rust and how it

>> dana: terrible. another migrant bus arriving in new york city from texas this morning. city officials say some of the passengers arriving lately are malnourished, dehydrated and some also covid positive. texas denies those claims. nate foye is live in new york city with the latest. >> good morning. another bus just about two hours ago right after 7:00 a.m. arrived with 52 migrants on it. you mention the concerns about the health of these migrants possibly covid. we know that one migrant was taken to the hospital not sure what for. new york city officials are also concerned that migrants are being held on these buses against their will which is something texas also denies. take a look at this group that arrived this morning. a group of 52. commissioner castro of the mayors office of immigrant affairs welcoming migrants to new york city and blasting texas governor abbott. he said he is not a man of good character and believes some

migrants are being forced to stay on these buses. >> on these buses, individuals have wanted to leave the buses and unfortunately they were met with resistance. if this is an effort that is supposed to be voluntary, if this is supposed to be a voluntary effort, why is it that people are not being allowed to offboard the bus and go to their actual destination? >> governor abbott's office strongly denies that accusation telling fox news quote these migrants willingly chose to go to new york city having signed a voluntary consent waiver available in multiple languages. also according to the governor's office texas has now sent over 400 migrants to new york city and over 68 hundred to washington, d.c. texas authorities say it is a drop in the bucket compared to what texas deals with every single day. here is texas attorney general ken paxton talking about these

two sanctuary cities. >> it's the true irony here. they have actually advertised it's a place where they want illegals to come. when they actually get a few hundred or in the case of d.c. a few thousand suddenly it is a huge problem. >> here in new york city officials say they are unaware when the next migrant bus may arrive here in the city. >> dana: we know you'll find out and tell us all about it. >> bill: there is a new report raising more questions about president biden's involvement with his son, hunter and his business dealings. the at the moment hunter biden is vacationing with his father in south carolina. our next guest reveals that a "new york post" article this, a source and emails from hunter aefs abandoned laptop confirmed he met with his then vice president father in 2015 and 16 with a romanian tycoon accused of corruption. john levine back with us today.

good morning to you. the tycoon is gabriel popovitzeo, i do believe. what would he be doing with hunter biden? >> just for context, he was a romanian real estate tycoon and made hundreds of millions of dollars in romania and convicted of bribery and sentenced to seven years in prison looking to have that conviction overturned. in that effort, he enlisted hunter biden and a number of his business partners to see what they could do on that front. and this effort millions of dollars according to someone i spoke to who was involved in the effort changed hands to hunter and his cronies for that effort. and it appears that hunter pulled out all the stops. what's really new here, if you look at the calendar on at least three different occasions when hunter biden was

conducting business on behalf of this romanian immediately after he was meeting with his father. you can see this all in the calendar. so you have situations where he is talking to -- in romania meeting with the u.s. ambassador to romaniana at the time to talk about the case. comes back from romania, two days later breakfast with dad at the naval observatory. >> bill: let me get to that right now. this is strange to me. the former f.b.i. director louiefree was working for the tycoon and hired by him. here is one of the emails you came up with. does this still work for you? that's hunter biden's office manager, jim, titled 12:00 p.m. call with louie free. i'm going to yog a at 915. >> louie free was part of this

effort to get the conviction against this man overturned. there is really no reason for hunter and louie to be having the call at that time other than for this romanian man and as you can see it confirms what you can see on the calendar. there was a meeting with joe biden that same day just two hours, in fact, afterward. >> bill: here is peter doocy asking the golden question from 2019. >> how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings >> president biden: i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. >> bill: you have it on camera, john, three years ago. your whole piece suggests he met with his dad multiple times surrounding the same time he was doing work with this tycoon for a name we can't pronounce. john, is it possible that all of this could be explained away? >> it's increasingly unlikely

that's the case. it is really the golden question and has been reiterated several times by white house press secretaries both jen psaki and jean pierre. the body of evidence that now exists makes that impossible to believe. now the question is not was there contact, was there discussion of the business dealings, but how extensive was it? that's the real next question we need to kind of begin to address. >> bill: fair question. john, thanks, leave it there and we'll bring you back soon. read his report today in the "new york post." thanks. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: get this. alec redman of the houston astros hit a very special home run saturday. >> he hits one high. he hits one deep and the second straight game. >> dana: before the game a young girl from uvalde, texas

asked him to hit a home run and boy, did he deliver. >> it was really cool. anything we can do for them i'm glad they were here today. i think that's really nice. help in the healing process. >> dana: it is part of uvalde strong day. the astros invited residents from the city to the game and they raised money for their community. can you imagine being able to hit a home run on demand, on request? cool. >> bill: especially for that woman, too, great memory. okay, ramped up i.r.s.. the agency eyeing $20 billion in revenue to pay for the democrats' new spending bill. also there is this. check it out. [gunshots] >> it was one year ago today august 15th, a sunday when the taliban rolled into kabul and

>> bill: one year ago today the taliban marching into kabul and solid filing their gripe on power. they all remember so much gut wrenching images last august and the stark comparison to the u.s. embassy evacuation in saigon in april of 1975. today this is the scene in kabul. >> right now the taliban is

parading through the streets of kabul. marking one year since the takeover of afghanistan. you can see the fighters here celebrating. >> bill: general jack keane in a moment. trey yingst is live on the ground in kabul. trey. >> good morning. today taliban fighters are taking another victory lap in kabul as much of the civilian population remains in the shadows especially those american allies left behind. here is a look at what life is like under taliban control. 11-month-old struggles to breathe as his mother looks on. the young afghan is one of more than one million children under five who are acutely malnourished in the taliban controlled country. >> it makes me very sad when i see him in this condition. i have lost three other children. this is the fourth one.

a year into taliban rule afghanistan's economy has collapsed. the united nations now estimates 97% of afghans are at risk of falling below the taliban line. the taliban's governor style has put at risk billions of dollars worth of aid that action as a humanitarian lifeline. a strict interpretation of islam is guiding life. making it impossible for a separation between mosque and state. right now in afghanistan, listening to music is outlawed. women must be covered in public and majority of teenage girls are banned from participating in secondary education. they say it's equal. >> women can't go out in public alone at night. they can't serve in senior government roles, they have to be covered when they go into the streets of kabul. how can you describe this as

free? >> the laws of the country regulate how people conduct themselves when in the public. that does not in any shape, way or form mean that someone is free or is not free. >> we also pressed taliban fighters today about these topics and they're adamant this is a society, they say, that will be ruled by islamic law. bill. >> bill: good to have you back on the ground reporting in kabul. trey yingst. thanks. >> dana: republicans renewing their call for answers on what led to the disastrous exit from afghanistan. >> there was a complete lack and failure to plan. there was no plan. there was no plan executed. 100,000 afghan partners left behind. we said we would protect them. that was our promise to them. no one left behind. we left them behind to the mercy of the taliban and now they are being tortured and killed. >> dana: general jack keane is a retired four star general and

former vice chief of staff of the army and chairman for the institute of the study of war and senior strategic analyst. you were here with us every moment of that withdrawal and it's almost hard to believe it has been a year but in some ways it feels that the biden administration in particular are blowing off this report. president doesn't have any events tomorrow. he will be at the beach. it has had a huge impact on us as a country and the world. >> that's very true, dana. it's a year later and it is still hard to fathom what we actually did here. the president made what was a huge strategic error in my judgment in declaring an unconditional withdrawal with a date certain in afghanistan, which turned out to be an unconditional surrender. now we have the taliban in charge doing what they were doing 20 plus years ago. and that is providing sanctuary

to the al qaeda. now, in those 20 years, for the sake of our troops and our intelligence service and our contractors who were there providing service, i mean your mission was accomplished. that mission was to prevent the radicals inside of afghanistan from attacking the united states. that did not occur. we have had no foreign terrorist attack on the united states from afghanistan. but what a debacle this decision has created. an accelerant for our adversaries as we can see in russia and ukraine, china, taiwan, and the mischief the iranians are up to in the middle east to be sure. and the devastation, as trey pointed out, is clear and evident. the suffering of the afghan people, leaving behind close to 80,000 -- how shameful is that, that we were not committed to get everybody out for as long

as it took. and we should have insisted upon that with the taliban and put our feet to the fire and told them straight out listen, we'll stay and get our people out. you are now in kabul and we know where you are. if you are going to stop us from doing that, then you are going to feel the might of the united states on you as a result of it. but no, we folded our tent and left them behind. it is a sad situation. still, as i said, difficult to accept what we did. >> bill: republicans, if they take control of the house, the senate, or both, in an likelihood will hold hearings on this and we may learn more then. however on sunday they released findings about how many american citizens are behind and inadequate the state department's preparation was for that moment. as you look at afghanistan now one year later, is it more

dangerous or less dangerous than 2001, 21 years ago? >> in 2001 it was clearly more dangerous. the al qaeda was very robust. certainly they had accomplished something that no one ever thought could be accomplished and that was a major attack on the united states. they had a certain amount of hubris for that and opened recruiting opportunities and funding opportunities for them. what they underestimated, they thought that would break the will of the american people. when this has been recorded as a result of our interrogations, top leaders, they thought the united states resolve would be broken and we would not come for them and we came for them immediately and it is a credit to the administration making that decision. i think any president would have made that decision given the horrific nature of what took place. there is no disputing the fact al qaeda was much stronger than, than it is now. the concern we all have is it

can grow back to a strong organization threatening the united states, which our intelligence services told the president, which our military told the president, and which many of our diplomats told the president and he ignored all of that. >> bill: general, thank you. we'll call on you a lot in the next few weeks and reflect on this. thank you, sir. >> dana: thank you so much. interesting because the -- you mention the republicans said they want to get answers as well. here is the headline from foxnews.com, op-ed today saying that biden's afghanistan debacle began with a fall of kabul a year ago and americans deserve answers. house republicans vow to get answers on biden's afghanistan failure signed by mccarthy, mccaul and rogers, turner and comer. >> bill: if you look at the approval rating for the president during the course of this presidency so far you can start to see in the month of june and into july his numbers start to go south. i have think that was because

of covid. he campaigned we'll crush the virus and it didn't happen. when you get to mid august that thing falls off the table and you can argue whether it has recovered since then. it was a mark that a lot of people cannot remove from their minds as far as managing as a commander-in-chief an issue that was fought over literally for 20 years and that's where it drops. >> dana: it hasn't ended and we'll keep on top of it. >> bill: here in new york a father of five was murdered over a cab fare in new york city. this is nuts. the wife of that dead taxi driver calling on the city to bring her husband's killers to justice. we'll see if they get that justice. we learn more about investigators and what they ceased on president trump's home in florida as garland

calls for release the affidavit he signed to get the search warrant. thanks, dad. that's right, robert. and it's never too early to learn you could save with america's number one motorcycle insurer. that's right, jamie. but it's not just about savings. it's about the friends we make along the way. you said it, flo. and don't forget to floss before you brush. your gums will thank you. -that's right, dr. gary. -jamie? sorry, i had another thought so i got back in line. what was it?

>> dana: alaska holding its primary tomorrow, tuesday. bill will be here with the board. the new rank choice voting system. it is a strange way they do it up there but we'll see how it

goes. republican incumbent lisa murcowski faces a tough race against a candidate backed by president trump. jonathan, how is it shaping up? >> good morning, dana. lisa murcowski has been in the senate for some 20 years but she is facing the fight of her political life this time round. largely because ever since she voted for then president trump's impeachment, the former president has made it his personal mission to see her defeated calling her lousy and the worst senator in the united states. i asked senator murcowski about those trump comments when we caught up with her at her campaign headquarters. listen here. >> you know, former president trump is going to say what he will say. he is not only done that in a state like alaska, he has weighed in in elections in other states. that's certainly his prerogative. >> and senator murcowski also

told me president trump quite simply, through his behavior, has ruled himself out from having the right to run for office again. listen once again. >> i've had people say wait a minute, donald trump's policies were good. president biden's policies are bad. that seems to be an easy answer. the problem that we have is that donald trump, when he was in office, failed to uphold the constitution of the united states. for me it's pretty simple. >> senator murcowski is being pushed very hard from the right by kelly, something of a political novice but she has been embraced enthusiastically by mr. trump and she in turn has embraced his political legacy enthusiastically. she told us her supporters have been riled up by the f.b.i. actions against the former president.

listen here. >> it's the poll itization and weaponization by the biden administration. who will protect us and keep us safe in it's a lot of what i'm hearing on the ground. i am getting texts from people who aren't republicans saying this is dangerous and scary. >> so tuesday will give us a good idea just what kind of political effect that f.b.i. search of the president's property is going to have as we approach the mid-term elections. dana. >> dana: thanks for getting up so early for us. we love our folks there in alaska. thanks. >> he was a good man. he was a good, good man. he was my -- i'm lost now. i don't know what to do right now. i have lost him.

>> bill: family from ghana in new york, wife of a new york city cab driver calling on the mayor and nypd to bring her husband's killers to justice. the father of five children murdered after chasing down a group of men who refused to pay for their cab ride. retired nypd lieutenant is here. good morning to you. so, so sad here. cover of the "new york post" spells it out for us, too. what do you say to this woman about justice given her loss? >> she should have justice but how sad is it this city, this has become the norm that people accept this and she has to accept it because the police aren't allowed to do their jobs. in man has to take the law into his own hands and chase them down. it shouldn't be like that. the criminals should be off the street. we've spoken about this many times and it is so sad that this family, five children will lose their father. >> dana: this is an immigrant

who they are here trying to build a life. they have young children who have the hopes of the american dream ahead of them and everything gets dashed by these guys. one question i would have is in a situation like this, she wants justice. but how likely is it that they would be released because of no cash bail? >> if they are released, then there should be protests in the streets up and down every avenue because this would be ridiculous to release a group like this. they are probably out on the street as repeaters and they shouldn't be. what will it take for this governor to start taking some action and remove the d.a.s or holding the d.a.s responsible and dereliction of duty and get police back to where we had them so they can get them off the streets before they commit the crime. >> bill: the governor wants to hold her office. what would be the chance ns

she overruin a d.a. >> she won't go against the party. there are too many interactions within the party that we don't see. but she won't do that. she could have done it. she should have done it a long time ago. i think a candidate like lee zeldin will do something like that and made it part of his platform. >> bill: you think she would be vulnerable especially now that crime is through the roof. >> she is silent. you talk about backing law enforcement up. we talk about getting law enforcement to the days of yore where they took proactive policing seriously and get the criminals off the street. they aren't allowed do that anymore. how many more murders like this will we have before everybody wakes up and understands we need to get our first line of defense in the country, the police department? >> dana: look at this, murder up 2%, rape up 17%. this one captured my eye.

robbery and assault up 39% and 27% respectively. robbery in this situation -- you want to go after somebody and you want to get your cab fare. 11 or 15, that means a lot to him and advise victims to do what, not chase them? >> of course. let the police handle ce aren't the way we used to. the brooklyn robbery squad would handle the patterns to would spill into other borrows. it doesn't happen anymore. the cops have their hands tied because they lose everything if they make one wrong move. you don't have the back of the city council. they are constantly against you. we spoke about how the force is depleting to levels we've never seen before. it will have a long-term effect

if we don't address it right away and start giving them the indemnification they need and the tools they need to get back out there and you have to get the police commissioner willing to go out and go against what a mayor or city council is saying saying this is what my men and women in blue. you don't see it. >> bill: we hear it so many. he was 52, too young to die. >> dana: our condolences to her and her children. also this, a fox news alert on the tragic shooting on the set of the movie rust. the f.b.i. reportedly contradicting alec baldwin's claims he did not pull the trigger. what happens next? plus china doing more military drills around taiwan after another visit by american lawmakers to the island. the angry warning from beijing to washington we have it coming up. >> i think the chinese believe they can do what they want so this is a point where we should expect that the chinese will do something.

>> dana: a new bombshell report released on alec baldwin claims the f.b.i. determined the actor did pull the trigger on the gun used on the set of the movie rust that killed the woman. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles. >> the question is will this f.b.i. report prompt or influence the d.a. to charge alec baldwin or anyone else with a crime? after the shooting detectives recovered the gun used to kill the woman. baldwin claim he cocked the gun but never pulled the trigger. >> i cocked the gun. can you see that? can you see that? he says -- i let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off. i let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off. it was the moment the gun went off. >> it wasn't in the script for

the trigger to be pulled. >> i didn't pull the trigger. >> you never pulled the trigger? >> no, i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger ever. >> the f.b.i. crime lab has determined the gun, quote, could not be made to fire without the pull of a trigger. that's according to the report which was obtained by abc news. a spokesman for baldwin said the media is misconstruing the f.b.i. report that the test was only done once and the gun broke. the bottom line right now the medical examiner calls the hutchins death an accident because everyone thought the gun was unloaded. does this report influence the d.a. we don't know. thank you. >> dana: thank you so much. china issued angry warnings to the u.s. and taiwan firing up plans for additional military drills around the island as american lawmakers arrive for a surprise visit with the president of taiwan.

welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." a lot of news on a monday. >> bill: i was fixing my tie to be prepared for you. >> dana: very prepared. >> bill: great looking color, by the way. >> dana: it is very pink. >> bill: bam. good morning, everybody. i'm bill hemmer. copy you had a great weekend. the late oeft congressional delegation coming less than two weeks from the speaker of the house as president biden plans to meet with president xi. china's military leaders putting the world on notice announcing new war games as china's foreign ministry accuses the u.s. of playing cheap political tricks. >> in order to avoid further damage to relations and the peace and stability of the taiwan strait china will take firm and forceful measures to safeguard our national sovereignty and territorial integrity. a few politicians have colluded

with separatist forces for taiwan din pen dense to challenge the one china principle. they are doomed to fail. >> dana: fox team coverage. former c.i.a. chief of station dan hoffman is standing by. let's begin with peter doocy. no hammering today at the white house? >> not yet. they'll wait until we start talking, i think. to make some noise. with this story over in asia, china is basically saying these american lawmakers are provoking them just by showing up in taiwan. and white house officials want this to be very clear. the lawmakers can do whatever they want. president biden hasn't sent anybody from here to taiwan. >> the united states government has not waivered in our ungoing commitment to the one china policy and commitments under the taiwan relations act. china should not use a visit for a pretext for any kind of hostility.

>> that's what china is doing. they think beijing is laying the ground work to take over taiwan eventually. >> i think it will be war. one year ago today china issued propaganda saying that when they invaded taiwan, not if. that the island would fall within hours and the u.s. would not help. >> u.s. policy is to help taiwan defend itself without putting u.s. troops on the front lines against chinese troop. similar to the u.s. policy when it comes to ukraine right now. there is concern that because the u.s. has sent so many munitions to ukraine recently, supplies could be an issue in a china conflict. >> there is no sense of urgency within the department to replenish those stocks. the services right now are just doing powerpoint briefings to say we want the next best thing in two to five years. they aren't doing what's necessary to make sure that we

are ready for a face-off with china that most experts are expecting to happen in the next 12 to 18 months once president xi gets reelected this fall. >> this fall president biden is set to meet with xi somewhere in southeast asia while he is in the neighborhood for the g20. they have known each other for several decades. i asked the president about this before and he insists they aren't old friends and this is strictly business. >> dana: all right, peter. i have to say that lawn is looking on point right behind you. they have the green perfect today. thanks, peter. for more on this former c.i.a. chief of station dan hoffman fox news contributor. it is interesting. we have this activity in taiwan that i want you to talk about. coming up soon is this big international meeting where the two leaders, biden and xi, will meet. and you wonder what could happen between now and then especially as xi fights for a third political term? >> i think part of what we're seeing right now is to set the

stage for that meeting between president biden and xi in november. what china is trying to do with regard to taiwan is isolate taiwan diplomatically. they've been trying to do that for years by denying taiwan any sort of recognition and trying to induce other nations around the world to avoid economic and strategic ties with taiwan. that message that china is delivering an aggressive response to a delegation of peace is one designed not only for the united states but for the region as well. china wants to make it clear there is a major price to be paid for any commercial or strategic links with taiwan. >> bill: markey leads this groou. it happens all the time. it is not announced. it just happens. speaker pelosi's visit was blasted with a bull horn for two weeks. why was it that way?

>> i think -- china is trying to deliver -- establish a new normal here. when united states delegations used to visit taiwan without issue and you're right, they were not announced. but what china is trying to do right now is change the way that we approach our engagement with taiwan. they are trying further to isolate taiwan. we need to insure that we work closely with our allies to shore up taiwan's defenses and provide taiwan with the coastal defense maritime defense that they need, some of the weapons that are going to ukraine would also be of use to taiwan for sure javelins and stingers and stufp. those are things the biden administration needs to be thinking about in the coming months in anticipation of the meeting with xi who is playing to the fact he wants to be crowned leader for life in china. >> dana: also look to another part of the world and here at home. the iranian foreign minister said they had nothing to do

where the salman rushdie attack on friday. he said they do not consider anyone deserves blame and accusations except him and his supports. no one has the right to accuse iran in this regard. it was devastating for rash -- rushdie. >> iran is responsible. they had a fatwa to kill him since 1989. they are responsible for the assassination attempt on john bolton and secretary of state pompeo as well. this is what iran does. they derive their meaning, you know, as a revolutionary regime from anti-americanism and used their proxies militias to target us in the middle east and tried to kill our retired senior officials here in the united states. they tried to kill the saudi

ambassador over a decade ago in washington, d.c. that's going to cast quite a pale over negotiations to make a new nuclear deal with iran. now with iran asking for -- demanding concessions, particularly with the sanctioning of the irgc i think they will run into some real head winds here from the republicans and a number of democrats in congress. >> bill: we'll see on that. thanks for coming by. rushdie lucky to be alive. >> dana: stabbed 10 times. >> bill: you have the undercurrents of this story along with pompeo and bolton and they are still trying to do a nuclear deal. see if there are the head w*inds. >> dana: the woman iran wants to kill they found a guy outside her apartment with an ak-47 trying to kill her as

well. they are up to no good. >> bill: the question is when do they become successful? the ongoing crisis at the southern border exploding over the weekend in texas. man oh man. our fox cameras caught hundreds of migrants crossing illegally in eagle pass on sunday alone. bill melugin back there live with the details back on the beat again as we start a new week, bill. good morning. >> good morning to you. we just got some stunning new numbers. dhs source just told us in the last 24 hours alone here in the del rio sector there were 2,202 illegal crossings. one day, one single sector here on the southern border and it has continued the morning. look at the video we shot an hour ago. it is storming out here and heavy rain and wind but not slowing down the crossings. this a group of 70 venezuelans and cubans. they are smiling and waving to cameras and happy to be there.

the pales in comparison to what we saw yesterday. we saw more than 500 crossings in one hour. this was a massive group of 300 that came across all at the same time. as you can see predominantly single adults. you will see many of them are dressed very nicely. some of them have smartphones listening to their air pods as they are waiting to be processed by border patrol coming from all around the world. central and south america, asia, africa, some of them walked over to a nearby highway almost getting onto the road before you can see texas dps troopers had to stop them and look at the third piece of video. after sunrise again yesterday two separate groups totaling more than 200 migrants. again predominantly single adults. we're no longer seeing the family units or mass children coming across like we were last year. listen to these numbers just since october here in del rio

sector, 401,000 illegal crossings. that is double the same time last year and that's a population equivalent to the size of the city of arlington, texas. yesterday i spoke with texas congressman tony gonzalez who represents this area. he just got back from a trip to the northern triangle countries and he said what two of the leaders of those countries said. >> i recently visited guatemala and sat down with the president. what would it do to take back more guatemalans that do not qualify. his answer, all it would take is a phone call from the president of the united states. biden has failed to even call these leaders sfr the northern triangle. i sat with the foreign minister of el salvador and said they never spoke with the biden administration. >> stunning right there. congressman gonzalez saying the leadership of guatemala and el

salvador told him they have no recent contact whatsoever with the biden administration despite the administration's claims they're focusing on the root causes in these countries. the crisis continues. we'll send it back to you. >> dana: i want to ask you quickly. you reported 2200 people came across dhs numbers in the del rio sector alone. that's a lot. you had an exchange on twitter with elon musk of what we're seeing on the border. he was surprised by the number. what did you tell him? >> i posted that video to twitter yesterday that we just showed and mentioned there are more than 400,000 illegal crossings in the del rio sector in less than a year. he seemed stunned by that and said more than 400,000 in less than one year? i replied and said that's correct. that does not even account for the gotaways, the people that slip past border patrol. he replied to me and said it is strange there is no more media coverage on this. that's something we hear from

border patrol agents down here every day. they agree with him about that. signed it back to you. >> dana: thank you for all you do. >> bill: we wonder the same thing. texas lieutenant governor dan patrick will join us in a few moments with more on the migrant buses being sent to cities like new york city. coming up in a moment here. 12 minutes past the hour. check this out. >> we do not interfere or get briefd. the department of justice when it comes to law enforcement matters, it is independent, please independence. >> dana: the sunday shows. >> bill: so the white house says it is not involved in the f.b.i.'s search of former president trump's home. now republican lawmakers are calling for more information on the search and what was seized. marc thiessen has a few ideas on that coming up here. >> dana: president biden set to sign the inflation reduction act this week. the white house calls it a victory. will it help americans or the president's approval rating? >> hail to the chief, to joe

biden. his leadership and his vision and inspiration made today possible. veteran homeowners, need a financial boost? the newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value

>> we don't know what they are. we don't know if they rise to the level of being a national security threat.

>> it is very important long term for the justice department now that they've done this, that they show this was not just a fishing expedition. >> anybody that doesn't bend the knee, that isn't intimidated, that isn't parroting the narrative is now subject to these kind of third world banana republic tactics politically. >> dana: more information on what the f.b.i. seized in the search of mar-a-lago in florida. new this morning president trump wants to lower the temperature and do whatever he can to help the country. fox news contributor mark -- >> former president trump says he wants to calm his supporters amid the justice department's actions but a lot more to say quote. there has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the united states and there is

tremendous anger in the country at a level that has never been seen before other than during very perilous times. more on our website foxnews.com. some republican lawmakers are trying to walk a fine line balancing outrage over the justice department's actions and calling for more information to be released. trump allies, many in congress. continue to criticize the f.b.i. and attorney general for last week's search of mar-a-lago and while we know the judge unsealed a search warrant on friday the affidavit remains undisclosed. >> the affidavit in support of the warrant will give you the probable cause to try to understand what is going on here. i think the american people deserve this. i believe that the relevant committees on the hill should have access to the documents but most importantly this affidavit. >> while trump continues to call the search an abuse of power, senator marco rubio has joined democratic senator mark warner in sending a private letter to the justice department.

they are asking to review documents behind closed doors to get a better idea why the justice department took the actions. the justice department is telling fox today it has received this letter but so far there hasn't been any other official reaction. late last week the attorney general defended the f.b.i.'s actions insisting much of its work has to be conducted in private. as we have been talking about. a lot of lawmakers say it won't fly with them. >> dana: mark meredith in d.c. let's bring in marc thiessen. we played for you some sound of the republicans and what they said over the weekend. listen to call for number one from democrats with their point of view. >> it appears to be willful on the president's part, the keeping of these documents after the government was requesting them back. >> he has serious ties with foreign governments. god forbid that any of this information was leveraged for any type of financial gain. not necessarily by president

trump but even by other members of his administration or his family. >> dana: those are very serious allegations. they don't know that. none of ufs really know anything beyond what we have been able to glean from the very sparse documents that we have so far. we have a little bit of information about the documents that were there. they seized 11 sets of classified documents. where do you land on this eight days since the raid? >> first of all, mishandling classified information is very, very serious. and we need to keep that context. but i want every single person who says things like those congressmen did about how he might have shared it with a foreign government or something like that, let's go back and roll back the tape about what they said about hillary clinton. jim comey said hillary clinton had classified information including seven email chains that include top secret, special access program intelligence. so she had more special access program intelligence on her

private server and in her emails than donald trump is alleged to have had in his house in mar-a-lago and know from the justice department inspector general that her private -- the classified information on her private server on the emails was compromised by foreign intelligence services. all these people who said this is no big deal, stop harassing hillary clinton, are now running around with their hair on fire saying donald trump endangered national security. if you said what hillary clinton did was no big dealing you have no standing to say anything about documents in donald trump's possession. >> dana: some complaining republicans suggesting about hillary clinton. there is a direct comparison as you just laid out. >> what aboutism? it's translation for what aboutism is please don't call out my hypocrisy.

that's what. what people cry about that, it's all it is. >> dana: the political impact for republicans and democrats. your take. >> interesting. obviously this energizes trump supporters and creates a rallying affect around him and the candidates he endorsed, which is positive for republicans. at the same time it changes the subject. what people want -- what republicans should want to talk about three months out of the mid-terms is the disastrous policies of the biden administration. we should be talking today about the situation as you have been a year after the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan and talking about inflation, talking about the disaster on the border which elon musk didn't know how bad it was. it allows the democrats to change the subject and makes things about donald trump. what we need to -- republicans need the election to be about joe biden is joe biden. in that sense it helps the democrats closing the gap going into november. >> dana: great to have you today. thank you so much. have a good week.

>> bill: fox news alert on the latest in the ukraine. fighting raging around europe's largest nuclear power plant. right now being held by russian forces. it's raising fears over a possible catastrophe. new york city leaders outraged as more buses full of migrants arrive in the big apple from texas. dan patrick on how far this could go. >> again, we have serious issues about the way that governor abbott is treating asylum seekers as a political ploy. of america. look at this guy. he bought those tickets on his credit card and he's rackin' up the rewards. she's using zelle to pay him back for the hot dogs he's about to buy. and the announcer? he's not checkin' his stats, he's finding some investing ideas with merrill. and third as you know in baseball means three.

>> previous buses people were sick, hungry. they have been through a lot. there has been a lot of issues on the way here. as you may have heard, one individual or many individuals wanting to get off earlier and

the bus was refusing to. >> bill: so it happens, right? you can't get off the bus when you are driving from the border in texas to new york. that's the head of immigrant affairs here in manhattan accusing texas of forcing migrants onto buses and making them stay until they reach the city. our cameras yet again were there when another bus arrived in manhattan earlier today. dan patrick, texas lieutenant governor is with me now and sir, thank you for your time. that was manuel castro calling it a political ploy. that comment that one individual or many individuals, he said, wanted to get off earlier but the bus driver refused to do so. were they running a taxi service? >> yeah, bill, first of all this is all voluntary. we aren't forcing anyone to get on the bus. secondly, that's part of the agreement. you are going to the destination. and this is not political, bill. if it's political it is from

the mayor who said he is going to send door knockers to texas for the november election to help democrats. that's the person who has made it political. by the way, mayor, don't threaten texas and also he may spike the republican turnout so much with that rhetoric that he is senting new yorkers to texas that the republicans might send him an award after we blow them out in november. they turned it into politics. this is a disaster. >> bill: sorry for the interruption. what are you trying to prove? and or show? and how far are you willing to go? >> first of all, every mayor of a big blue city should be on notice look out your window and you might see a bus coming to you one day in the future. they will keep coming. no one, as you have reported earlier today. bill melugin reported. no one else is talking about this except fox. none of the major networks, not

cnn or msnbc. this administration is either dishonest or incompetent. they know what's happening. the mayor complains we've sent a few bus loads to new york. we have had 400,000 people in the del rio sector in the last year. the population of that town is 36,000. that's more than ten times the population, bill. that would be like us sending 80 million to new york. we are desperate, bill. we have to make this a story and no one else is covering it but you. and so if we can put pressure on all these democrat mayors around the country maybe they'll pick up the phone and call joe biden and say the border is not secure. new york is a sanctuary city supposedly. i've passed a bill to ban all sanctuary cities in texas. they don't want to take anybody in. where do they think people were coming from, nebraska? of course they would be coming from mexico over our border. >> bill: have you heard of any

of these big city mayors or governors contacting the white house since this started? yes or no. >> i wouldn't be aware of a conversation between two incompetent democrats. i'm not aware of that, bill. >> bill: last question. what bill melugin was reporting today is that he is seeing far more adult individuals than he has in the past. he has been down there for a year and a half. a lot of times he will report on family units. what would it suggest if these are adult males primarily? >> this suggests that this is all part of the plan. again, you either have to be incompetent or dishonest. the vice president can't speak without giggling like a little girl and can't say a sentence without giggling and the president can't speak a sentence period. they said they want to get to the root cause. they haven't talked to anyone in several america or several countries. that's a lie. it is bringing people to this country to take over the country. we are on pace in his first term to be over 8 million

people here illegally. just the ones we apprehend. that's the entire population of new york city to america. we'll be a 15% of the population who are here illegally. do you want them to have the right to vote? who will they vote for? this is plan for the democrats to take over this country totally once and for all. when you add -- if he had two terms, if you had 10 to 10 to 15 million people and you get them citizenship over this time and they get to vote, that skews every election. why didn't new york complain? why didn't anyone in new york complain when air biden sent 2,000 under age children to new york and dropped them off in the middle of the night in an airport? >> bill: nobody would have known about that if fox news wasn't there, either. there was a story about arizona using state money to continue

building the wall on its southern border. that's the narrative. >> we're doing it here. that's what we're doing. >> bill: i'm out of time. thank you for yours today. thanks. >> dana: growing concerns over a large russian held nuclear power plant in ukraine. russian troops using the station as a staging ground for attacks on ukrainians and world leaders fearing a nuclear catastrophe are calling on moscow to withdraw its forces there. we're live in ukraine capitol of kyiv. hi, alex. >> attacks taking place once again this weekend on europe's largest nuclear power plant now the russian foreign ministry is accusing ukraine of the attacks. moscow even went on to say it will help facilitate the visit for any experts from the international atomic energy agency. despite those words delegates so far have not been able to access the site. ukraine president zelenskyy warning that russian soldiers who either shoot at the facility or use it as shield

will they themselves become special targets and went on to announce new goals to crack down on the kremlin. >> we are working on new sanctions against russia and on stimulating citizens of the terrorist state to feel their share of responsibility for what's happening. >> after heavy fighting. ukraine authorities hope to evacuate 2/3 of residents living in the battlegrounds. despite more and more towns turned into scenes just like this one, some residents remain hopeful they will not need to leave. yet attacks in these areas show no sign of slowing down. residents in the east are starting the grim task of unearthing the bodies that were quickly buried. they will be given proper funerals, something the town of bucha just days ago reburying

the corpses. russian troops continue to advance in the south and in the east. ukrainian troops are trying to target their ammunition warehouses. ukraine government today saying so far it has managed to do so 10 times in a last week. dana. >> dana: thanks for being there in kyiv for us. >> bill: president biden making plans to celebrate a string of recent victories putting democrats front and center ahead of the mid-terms. will it be enough to hold onto control of congress? guy benson will take it on coming up next. president biden claiming he has inflation under control saying it's down to a big fat zero. what everyday americans have to say about that as the prices keep rising. >> this administration makes all kinds of weird statements. i would tell him to talk to any hard-working american and see what they think inflation is. ♪♪♪

[shouting] >> >> dana: those are customers trying to force their way out after a single person, one person tested covid positive yesterday. they didn't want to be locked into ikea. they found the doors closed leaving some people pushing past security. unclear how many people were inside the store at the time. can you imagine being locked in an idea for weeks. >> bill: based on their policies in shanghai can you blame them for wanting to get out? >> dana: i would have been leading the parade. >> if va five goes rippling through shanghai will they shut it down again? >> dana: it was good video. glad they got out. >> president biden: just want to say a number, zero. today we received news that our

economy had zero percent inflation in the month of july. >> bill: okay. president biden claiming he has it down when the real number is up again when it comes to food. prices rising 8 1/2% in july from a year ago. guy benson, political editor. the claim about the i.r.s. audit and inflation claim. middle class won't escape the new i.r.s. audit wave. it belies the white house claim. you marry the idea and the inflation and fear and threat down the road that the i.r.s. will be so big that they are coming after you. how are those messages being received? >> they're pretty brazen messages, bill. people can feel that inflation is not zero. i know the white house would say technically what we're

saying is month over month it didn't go up even further. fine. it is still up to a near 40-year high at 8.5% with increases month over month and year-over-year on food, on rent, on electricity, on all sorts of commodities that people absolutely know how much they are paying for that stuff, right? they feel it every day. to get overly triumphal very premature on data that is quite bad on inflation is politically risky and then the i.r.s. side of it you mentioned where democrats had an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is on this promise that in doubling of the i.r.s., 80 billion new dollars to that agency will not affect anyone making $400,000 or less in accordance with the president's supposed promise, the republicans offered that exact item as an amendment to the bill that they just passed and every single senate democrat

voted it down. i think intuitively people understand if you double the i.r.s. it won't be hunky dorey for average people based on what the cbo found and other data as well. i think that will be yet another promise that hits a wall at some point very soon. the question is will the democrats get past the election before it starts to happen. will they pay a price for it? will the media cover it when the pledge is shattered? we'll see. >> dana: if i had been at the white house and we needed the number coming out and saying here we go. you should go out and say that there was zero percent inflation. that's what we'll say today i said i'm not doing that. you can say that if you want but i would never have said that because it is obviously not true. on the i.r.s. point, your chances of getting audited have gone up two times. what is the money going for?

the reason they had to keep this money in there to figure out a way to pay for the petite version of the green new deal they just got. this weekend they aren't out there talking about how great the inflation reduction act will be. it won't reduce inflation. they're talking about how it's the biggest climate change bill in history. last word after i opined there. >> first of all that illustrates the difference between you and jean pierre. they think part might be getting better and we want to keep the trajectory going. they didn't do that. they went with the zero number, which i this i is crazy. you are exactly right, dana. in all of your opining. >> i'm mad for people about the i.r.s. piece. >> bill: listen for the key phrase in this.

>> so we'll say this, you know. we have said it before. we get it and understand what the american people are feeling at this time. this is the number one priority. >> bill: there is your feel your pain moment, we get it. we'll see how it plays after the summer. guy, nice to see you. >> yeah, good to see you guys. >> bill: you can finish your sentence, it's okay. >> can i? >> dana: we'll go. we'll talk to guy another time. thank you, guy. school districts scrambling to hire teachers as students head back to the classroom. we'll ask one teacher why so many educators are calling it quits. there's a powerful va benefit that veterans have earned, but many don't even know about. it's the va home loan benefit. as a veteran, you're eligible to apply for a refinance loan for up to 100% of your home's value.

to -- very overwhelming to have to try to catch kids up one, two, three, four grade levels in a year. >> dana: is it because of covid and trying to do zoom class for a while? >> i think oats partly because of that. i was an online teacher for two years, which i loved. the main reason is that kids are just kind of passed along instead of really focused on getting them the help that they need because there is a lot of red tape in education. so the lack of support from districts and government and beyond to get everything done to help these students catch up, to help take that burden off the teacher where you have anywhere from a kindergarten to a fifth grader in your class to try to plan and teach for that it becomes nearly impossible and consumes all your time. >> dana: a survey on stress and workload show it's the primary

cause of these departures. 94% said the stress increased during the pandemic and workload requirements increased as well. in texas, one of the things that there is a penalty if you quit in the middle of a school year. that means you lose your certification. that's a big deal. there is more and more teachers who are desiengd to do that. look at the chart for everybody at home. in 2019 it was 354 teachers did that. in 2022, 471. so what is your thinking about what will happen to all these classrooms if we don't figure out a way to work with teachers to make sure they want to be in the classroom? >> a couple things are going to happen. something i've already seen happening in the school district going to a four day work week where they have two classes per teacher. you see them on monday,

wednesday and tuesday, thursday and teacher has friday to plan. will take usually be taken up with other meetings so you are doing your own time. the classroom sizes get large very quickly and the caps that are set in place are ignored and other than that you will start to get teachers who are not certified in teaching all these classes, for instance like a substitute teacher who would be their teacher all year but is not qualified to teach. >> dana: i know that teaching is a calling and do you feel like you will ever go back? >> i don't know. i've been wrestling with that in the state of texas. if i don't keep my certification up and finish the reading academy then i will lose my certification and start all over again. not something i would look forward to. i do love teaching and i looked at other resources.

maybe continuing to teach online k-12 or something like that. currently i have no plans whatsoever. i'm just working on a book. >> dana: good luck on that and good luck to you. thank you for helping us understand the issue. it is a big issue happening across the country every place rural and urban teachers are quitting. we have a problem. >> bill: been through a lot. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: important questions piling up after the raid at former president donald trump's florida home. growing calls for transparency over exactly what the f.b.i. took from mar-a-lago. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". a source telling fox news some of the boxes agents walked out with contain information covered by attorney/client privilege. republicans with this reaction. >> we have a number of concerns. one is whether or not the raid itself was justified. we have this list from the f.b.i. but we don't have conclusive as
