>> today buy peggy roe's book available everywhere. >> thank you, mike. >> bill: fox news alert now top of the hour now topping the news. attention turns to the mar-a-lago search affidavit. the justice department opposing its release to the public. president trump said there is nothing to hide. >> dana: president biden eager to get his agenda back on track with a signing of a huge tax and climate bill today. >> bill: the latest test of trump's grip on the republican party. first, this was the moment we all watched one year ago today.

the unforgettable scenes of desperate afghans clinging to a c-17 at the airport in kabul trying to escape the clutches of the taliban happened a year ago today. defining image of a strategic and humanitarian disaster marking the turning point of a presidency back here at home. one that we still consider today. as we say good morning. good to have you with us. i'm bill hemmer and hello at home and hello to you. a i'm dana perino this is "america's newsroom." it has been a year but i feel like i can remember every moment of this whole two weeks that we watched it. maybe six weeks we watched the world change. heartbreaking images that stunned americans. thousands of afghans crowded the airport and ran after planes taxiing on the runway. president biden faced backlash and also from our allies for the botched u.s. withdrawal but he refused to budge. >> president biden: i am

president of the united states of america. and the buck stops with me. i'm deeply saddened by the facts we now face, but i do not regret my decision to end of america's war fighting in afghanistan and maintain a laser focus on our counter terrorism mission there and other parts of the world. >> bill: as americans watched that chaos unfold in realtime president biden's approval rating plunged. it has been under water ever since. meanwhile the nightmare continues for those left behind and living under the brutality of taliban rule. tens of thousands of afghans still trapped and trying to get out. >> dana: senator lindsey graham is standing by but first is trey yingst in kabul more by the allies abandoned by the biden administration. tens of thousands of people are still there, trey. >> dana and bill, good morning.

on this day last year the u.s. embassy in kabul are he leased a security alert warning all americans still in the country to shelter in place. taliban was roaming the streets. now the taliban controls the entire country and governs from this capital city. we're on patrol with the taliban. no question who is in charge here. the grooufp says the security situation in afghanistan has improved over the past year but american allies still here feel anything but safe. this man worked at the u.s. embassy in a senior finance role. before that he was a translator for u.s. aid. >> the life threatening. it is -- >> we're withholding his identity as he remains in hiding waiting for the state department to approve his special immigrant visa, a process that has failed. >> poorly handled and

specifically it showed lack of value and importance to the lives and to the work and to the lives that we have established. >> 15,000 special immigrant visas have been issued since president biden came into office. although 160,000 eligible afghans are still waiting to be processed with no u.s. presence in kabul. this is the u.s. embassy in kabul now deserted. buildings nearby the taliban flag is raised near to where american flags once flew. in a press conference in august president biden discussed his perspective why the u.s. had to leave afghanistan. >> president biden: we succeeded over a decade ago and we stayed for another decade. it was time to end this war. >> the fact is the taliban is back in power just as they were before the u.s. invasion. as for those american allies

left behind to live under taliban control, the national security council tells fox news they are committed to helping those individuals. dana and bill. >> dana: trey, thank you. >> bill: want to bring in republican senator lindsey graham. thank you for your time today. as you recall it sure was ugly. >> thank you. >> bill: how has it worked out? >> it sure was. terrible. at every level. number one, this decision was against sound military advice. the military told president biden we needed a resill wall force to avoid what happened. he became general biden and the rest is history. it makes me sick to my stomach. i've been in iraq and afghanistan 50 times. it is dishonorable and hard to get new allies. the-likely hood of another attack on american soil and american allies emanating from afghanistan because of what biden did is through the roof. we haven't ended any war at all.

we started a new one. >> dana: one of the things that the national security council at the biden administration is trying to do on this anniversary look back and say not our fault looking at the previous president. a quote from the draft memo. former president trump's agreement with the taliban committed to withdrawing our troops a few months with no plan for what should come next. there were conditions that had to be met with those troops were going to come home, sir. >> well, i thought the buck stopped with biden. what happened to that concept? you got a memo trying to blame trump. you can look back over history and there will be some blame there. it was biden's decision against military advice. conditions were in place. the taliban were not meeting those conditions. this was a political decision

by biden. he wanted to get out by 9/11 2021. he wanted to be the american president that ended the america's longest war. it backfired on him. we didn't end the longest war, we started a new one. al qaeda camps are emerging in afghanistan as i speak and the border is broken. so the same people who are talking about afghanistan are also in control of your border. one of the biggest mistakes in the war on terror. setting in motion another attack against america 9/11 style because we abandoned afghanistan, repeating history and all avoidable. the buck does stop with joe biden. nobody else to blame but him. he has been wrong about everything nor the last 30 or 40 years. my biggest fear about him being president is that he would do something this stupid. >> bill: you know al qaeda some measure has moved into kabul. al-zawahiri was good evidence

of that. you have isis battling with al qaeda. any indication that isis worked with us to locate al-zawahiri in kabul? >> who knows? we got one guy. i applaud the killing of al-zawahiri, who is one of the planners of 9/11 who was the head of al qaeda. but look where he was at. he was in a guest house owned by the number two taliban commander. the idea they aren't working with the taliban is a joke. you have isis fighting al qaeda. al qaeda is aligned with the taliban. what do they have in common? the radical islamist. what have we learned if you are a woman in a radical islamist country your life is miserable. teaching a new generation of young boys to disrespect women. they are starving to death because they can't run a one-car funeral. the conditions in afghanistan are deplorable. everything we worked for for 20

years was wasted and the training camps that existed before 9/11 are being reestablished and just a matter of time for terrorism in afghanistan migrates to american and the likely path would be a broken southern border and mayor consist is doing nothing. we are scheduled to have 2 million illegal immigrants cross the border at the same time al qaeda is present in afghanistan, working with the taliban. how do you think this movie is going to end? >> just confirmed yesterday 66 people on the terror watch list walked across the border going back to october. >> dana: a question about the raid on trump's home mar-a-lago. as a member of the senate judiciary committee, would you be allowed to see the underlying documents, the actual affidavit even if it doesn't get made public any time soon? would there be oversight from the senate judiciary committee over that document?

>> well, the intel committee in a bipartisan fashion has asked to look at the affidavit. i hope that will be granted because there is supposedly classified information involved. i want to echo what most republicans have been saying. after crossfire hurricane and after the mueller investigation, when the fisa court reviewed the department of justice for giving them misleading information regarding carter page, when it comes to trump there are no rules. every republican should be suspicious of what has happened in the past, happening again. so we need to affidavit. show your cards, merrick garland can't have it both ways. he can't give us the warrant without telling us why it was necessary to raid the former president's home and there was no less intrusive method available. the affidavit to help us understand what happened. without it we're flying blind in the dark and the american people are going through too much pain and heartache on the

endless effort to destroy donald trump. it is time for the department of justice. no more benefit of the doubt to turn over the affidavit so all of us can look at it. at a minimum give it to the intel and judiciary committee to have senators on both sides look at it. >> bill: it may be months before that happens. we shall see. thank you for your time. lindsey graham, thanks for coming in today. we mentioned that open border. now a dire national security threat. the number of terror suspects trying to illegally enter the country will stun you. but your hard tax dollars hard at work helping house migrants bused to new york city and put up in hotels here. >> dana: president biden hoping the giant spending bill will give him a boost. will hiking taxes backfire at the ballot box? >> bill: the effort to boot the city's progressive d.a. in los angeles to get him booted from office fails.

>> bill: the d.o.j. filing a motion to block the release of that affidavit that was used to justify the f.b.i.'s search warrant for the former president's home in florida. steve harrigan live outside mar-a-lago, palm beach, florida, with the status of where it is today. good morning. >> today it's the battle over that affidavit and former president trump going on the offensive coming out strong saying he wants that affidavit unsealed writing on truth social the former president said in the interest of transparency i call for the immediate release of the completely unredacted affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking break-in. the department of justice oppose unsealing that affidavit.

they say doing so could jeopardize the safety of witnesses and could also compromise an ongoing criminal investigation. now among the items taken from the president's home were three of his passports and one of trump's attorneys commented on that fact. >> i think it goes to show how aggressive they were. how overreaching they were. they were willing to go past the four corners of the warrant and take whatever they felt was appropriate or felt they could take. >> now both sides will wait to determine whether the judge will decide to open that affidavit or not. no date set on when that could happen. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: let's bring in jonathan turley a law professor at george washington university and fox news contributor tore. one of the things about yesterday president trump put out a note that said they took my passport from the safe and justice department put on background said no we didn't. later on we said we returned an

expired passport. so the level of confusion surrounding all of this is very frustrating. d.o.j. isn't able to give straight answers. if they can't do it quickly maybe they should wait a second rather than making people feel more frustrated. over to you. >> that's why it is so frustrating for many of us. merrick garland had to anticipate that conducting a raid on the past opponent and likely future opponent of the president would raise legitimate concerns. yet there doesn't appear to have been any prior planning to release statements, to take measures that would assure the public. he is still resisting those efforts. the justice department often says what it says here it doesn't want to release affidavit. they have resisted even when you are criminal defense counsel of giving you information on the very same grounds.

affidavits are released, they can be released and they can be released in redacted form. as with the warrant itself, the position of the department of justice is really sort of overbearing. clearly the justice department can give more information on the basis for this raid, what was discussed in june, what happened between june and the raid. you don't have to release the affidavit to release that type of information. >> bill: two quick questions on that. so it is common to make the affidavit public, correct? that happens. >> well, in criminal cases it is often made public. not as common in civil cases. this isn't a common raid. this is a raid on the opponent of the president. >> brian fitzpatrick is a congressman from pennsylvania, former f.b.i. agent. over the weekend he said such an unprecedented action it should be supported by unprecedented justification. but to date we have heard merrick garland talk for three

minutes and clearly it's not good enough for you. >> that's right. i wrote a piece in usa today talking about the shrinking stature of merrick garland for this reason. this is not the first controversy that he seems absent without leave. he has had repeated opportunities to take modest steps to assure the public that the department is acting in an a political way. he has been a moderate most of his life but that's not the record that is coming out of the justice department and this is a good example. he can be more transparent here. no, it's not common for affidavits to be released early after a raid or in a civil setting or before charges are created. this is a criminal case. it is ongoing. i can understand the reluctance of the department of justice. but there is really demands here for a greater degree of

responsiveness. you can release parts of this affidavit. it has happened before. but more importantly, you can respond to these concerns. you can answer the questions. >> dana: professor turley, thank you. as this continues on i'm sure we'll see more of you. thank you. >> bill: thank you, professor. >> dana: did you see bill mcgurn's column in the "wall street journal"? he wrote merrick garland goes so low in mar-a-lago search. did biden know about the raid? that's disturbing, if not. many other people who worked in the bush administration 43 have all said something similar. it seems impossible to imagine that the justice department wouldn't alert the white house and the white house is maintaining that is the way they're doing that. which to me, maybe even to mcgurn. your responsibility is to oversee the judiciary branch.

you don't tell the elected leader of the country? >> bill: if you will break down the law with 200 years of precedent you may want to share it with others and they may want to weigh in on it. it is possible they did and we don't know about it for now. >> dana: if that's the case they haven't been telling us the truth and then we have another can of worms to open. >> bill: cheney's political future is on the line. the house primary happens and will she be ousted by a trump-backed challenger? money from decapprio's fund help file lawsuits against oil companies. why would that be? karl rove digs in next. >> isn't it ironic that leonardo decapprio and his foundation is funding a law firm to sue big oil companies for alleged deception when he

himself is deceiving the public? ! don't wait, schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ so we need something super disctintive. dad's work, meet daughter's playtime. wait 'till you hear this— thankfully, meta portal helps reduce background noise. zero lace model. adjusts to low light. and pans and zooms to keep you in frame. take a look at this. so the whole team stays on track. okay, let's get you some feedback. i'm impressed. great, loving your work. meta portal. the smart video calling device that makes work from home, work for you.

>> dana: at least six people injured in a memphis shoot-out last night. bullet holes flying outside a local emergency room. according to local reports, four people are in critical condition including one minor. three other victims were questioned in connection with a stolen vehicle. police are investigating the attack. >> bill: in the meantime it's primary night. tuesday in the summertime and we're going way out west. we'll start in alaska. lisa murcowski is trying to hold her seat in the senate being challenged by 18 other contenders. the one contender that seems to have the inside edge is one endorsed by president trump. one reason she got the endorsement, murcowski is the only one up for reelection in the cycle who voted to convict donald trump as a u.s. senator. seven on the board here but four of them are not running

for reelection -- they do not have a race this time around. two are retiring. richard byrd and pat toomey in pennsylvania. so, too, is liz cheney in her house race is wyoming. the polling suggests liz cheney could go down to a resounding defeat in wyoming today. hagman gets the endorsement of donald trump. the impeachment 10. these are republicans in the house who voted to impeach donald trump. very interesting right now. among them you have retiring, some who lost a primary. some reelected and facing primaries as liz cheney down here. kinzinger, gonzalez, upton and katko have all retired. in south carolina tom rice was

easily defeated in the myrtle beach area. peter meyer lost in michigan and jimmie butler in a thin race in the state of washington was defeated as well. which leaves dan newhouse in the state of washington states alive in november and so, too, in the state of california david valadao. he moved to a different district. liz cheney's fate will be determined today and why she is in yellow in the bottom right-hand corner. >> dana: let's go to wyoming where liz cheney is vying to hang onto her seat. rich edson, the writing is on the wall for a while. what have you learned? >> if you look at the polling leading up to it, that's the case. the votes still have to be cast. polls opened a half hour ago in wyoming in the school house behind me. local polling location and across the state where

congresswoman liz cheney is trying to fend off the challenger. number of senior republicans lined up against her. republican leaders and candidates from across the country are also here in wyoming for a fundraising event and many are campaigning for or at least supporting the contender. >> the principle philosophy is less government, idea of freedom. the concepts of a country that is conceived in liberty. >> hasn't she fit that bill? >> her focus has been different. her focus has been against one individual whether she has information or not instead of focusing on her district itself. >> cheney responded to us it's difficult to understand that word salad. was there a sentence in there

somewhere? the contender argued cheney is focused too much on january 6. she has called former president trump a domestic threat to the united states. cheney has raised more than $15 million and spent only half of that in an inexpensive state to broadcast commercials. voting has begun weeks ago. absentee voting started six weeks ago. polls are open until 7:00 p.m. local here, 9:00 eastern time. watching the race from wyoming. >> dana: thank you so much. good to see you. >> bill: president biden expected to sign the democrats' huge spending bill today coming back from south carolina to make that happen. they are taking a victory lap planning a tour before the mid-terms to sell the idea. the president facing high inflation, low approval on the job and foreign policy challenges. karl rove can pick it up from there. good morning. we started our broadcast half an hour ago with the images

from kabul one year ago today. the white house obviously wants to change the conversation hence the reason for signing this big bill today. put up call for number one, guys. the disapproval number as it stands today at 59%. we remarked that the moment that kabul fell he went underwater right around that time and hasn't come back since. how do you see this playing out for a president with those images hanging over his head? >> first of all he began his decline before that but you're right it began to bend down dramatically after the fall of kabul. it won't go away. they won't be saved by signing the so-called inflation reduction act and then going on a nationwide tour to hype it. every single major entity whether it's the congressional budget office or others say it won't have any impact on inflation. in fact, it is near zero impact

on inflation. the bad things in the bill begin now and the benefits they give people begin later. audits. doubles the number of i.r.s. audits. you don't think every small business person is saying oh how do i prepare for that? it has a manufacturing tax that causes the national association of manufacturers says it will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs in manufacturing. companies are already figuring out how they will deal with it. this tax was so bad when it was adopted in 1986 it was so counterproductive congress abolished it three years later and now we go back and do the same stupid thing all over again. green new jobs. the bill is written in such a way if you are a non-union company you really can't compete for those kind of grants and that kind of business. and now we'll have employers in that sector telling their employees you know what? there is a bunch of money out

there. subsidies for green energy projects but designed to benefit union workers rather than non-union workers we won't be able to compete for that business. that is happening now. the benefits such as they are, price controls on drugs. 10 of them starting in 2026. how is that going to impact inflation today? it ain't. >> bill: the fine print. stand by one moment. breaking news from the white house. we mentioned the first couple is coming back from south carolina this afternoon, dana. but now we can confirm that the first lady has tested positive for covid. >> dana: understandable since her husband had covid. a close contact, highly contagious variant. she will remain in south carolina at a private residence. she will return to washington after she has two consecutive negative tests. we wish her well, that it is mild and she gets better very soon. karl, coming back to you here i think that we can bring you in

to talk about the fact you said they want to get on the road to talk about all of this. it is hard when they keep getting covid. that's no fault of their own. it is a highly contagious virus. when they are out on the road you have somebody like patrick mahoney, who is the congressman from new york, the head of the house democrats campaign arm, he told "the new york times" editorial board basically democrats are unlikeable. democrats could be much more intentional about our work in rural areas with veterans, farmers, we could talk like human beings and build a relationship with voters. i think that most of the voters we ask about this think we're out of touch. they think we're elitist. we think we're better than they are and they don't like it. we have a likeability problem. he has said similar things like this before but the most pointed i've ever seen. do you think it will make a difference with the caucus? >> well, he is increasingly

unpopular in his own caucus for decisions he made as the head of the dccc. he is in a primary himself. look, let's step back. the democrats -- he is right. they have a problem. they don't look like they are in touch with the concerns of the american people. american people are concerned when they go to the grocery store and gas station and go to pick up clothes for the kids in the fall. prices are much, much higher and it all goes back to the dramatic spending increase that was unnecessary that even democrat economists worried about and cautioned democrats not to engage in, is 1.9 trillion american rescue plan and only added money on top of that. look, the president has two problems going out campaigning around the country. one he doesn't have a good message and second of all, his numbers are so bad that democrats are scurrying to get away from him. how many places has he gone already where people have said i don't -- i'm a democratic candidate for office and i don't want to appear with him and then we have the polls

showing that 1 out of every 4 democrats wants him to be their nominee and 3 out of 4 don't. "new york times" and cnn ran polls that revealed that among democrats. >> bill: for the candidate who wants to appear with him. >> dana: they have had a good week. we'll see if that changes. i doubt it but lots of things have changed in the past two weeks. great to sigh. call you later. terror in northern mexico as drug cartels unleash a violent string of arson and gunfire over the weekend. the warning to americans there. plus seniority no longer a factor when deciding layoffs at minneapolis public schools. why some are saying the new teachers contract features race over merit. >> i have read what the union said. they said they want students to have teachers that look like them. wrong. the students need teachers who will educate them.

>> bill: now your tax dollars at work. fox news alert. another bus of migrants out of texas on its way to new york city today. when they arrive no one knows but the mayor plans to house the new arrivals at a times square hotel listed as hip and trendy. the "new york post" with this biting headline. border to broadway. nate foye back on the story today in mid town manhattan. good to see you. >> bill: good morning, bill. texas officials tell me not one, but multiple migrant buses are mid route coming to new york city. when they get here you mentioned the "new york post" reports they may have luxurious accommodations. look at the video we shot this

morning. new video of the roe in new york city. a hotel used as a shelter. the post reports the city plans to use it as an intake center for as many as 600 migrant families. mayor says whether it's housing or education every migrant will be cared for in new york city. >> we are going to provide these families with the dignity that the texas governor failed to do. >> the city hasn't said how much that hotel plan would cost. texas officials are pushing back on claims that migrants are being forced on buses. we have heard that multiple times from the mayor's office in new york. the texas official in charge of these buses says that's a lie. >> absolutely not true. the migrants that have been released by the federal authorities to the non-governmental agencies here voluntarily get on these buses that are bound for new york and washington, d.c. >> fox news has exclusive video

from inside these buses. he says every bus is stocked with four days worth of food for 50 people and migrants have multiple opportunities to get off the bus. listen to this. >> so if the buses stop, they are free to get off like every other person that the federal government turns loose in the nation. now, they are not allowed to get off while the bus is moving but when the bus is stopped to get food and gas there is no reason that we have to kidnap these people and keep them on the buses. >> just over an hour here in new york city the archbishop of new york is meeting with migrant families to address the influx of my grants here in new york city. >> dana: also this. white teachers in minneapolis public schools may be the first to get pink slips under a clause in the new contract.

look at this. if accessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented amongst licensed teachers the district shall excess the next least senior teacher not a member of an underrepresented population. here to react and to explain what that meant is jimmy failla. this is -- it is eye opening. >> i hate calling things racist because that's what everyone does. this is racist. if a district put out a memo saying we're firing black teachers first everyone will protest. this does nothing to address the real issue, a merit-based education system where kids are the priority. this doesn't sound like kids are priority. when american school students aren't at the top 25 in the world. the average school kid thinks 2 plus 2 equals jello. let's get a teacher that can teach addition and subtraction. if we're being fair what dr.

king said, he wants to live in a world we judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. this is not that. the frustration is the woke left in lot of ways they are cultural arsonists. they like to start fires but it doesn't help anybody. remember when san francisco was trying to take abraham lincoln's name off a high school? my son's name is lincoln. now he has to go by o.j. his middle name. >> bill: it's not always about race, jimmie. it could be about climate change. fox obtained emails that shows that leonardo dicaprio has a nonprofit organization and awoorded some grants that came to him to the dark money groups that funneled money to a firm that filed climate-related lawsuits against companies to take them on. i imagine it doesn't surprise you. >> he did all of it while

flying on a private jet. >> dana: right. and wifi. >> i have been on so many canceled delta flights. i will become a climate activist to i can fly private like everybody else. more hypocrisy from that side. when you see the money moving around the way it does, i have to be honest, again, it sounds like what aboutism. when people hit you with a charge of what aboutism they say we're guilty but why are you bringing it up. it almost looks shady and laundery. i don't like it. >> bill: you did drive a cab one time. >> i did. >> dana: cbs also talked about climate change. basically this is about -- we have a problem with children in america not being as active. this is why cbs thinks it is the case. watch here. >> new study showing how

climate change and higher temperatures is making our children more inactive and more obese. >> stop it. i love that the climate people say it. >> you have to stay inside in the a.c. >> the whole thing is a scam as you know. we locked kids down, closed school activities and sports, kept them in the house. when we were coming back out of the house if you get a vaccine we'll give you a donut. do not blame climate change for obesity. they do it all the time. they will blame climate change on anything. that's the joke of climate change. they were never out there before. >> dana: good to see you. >> bill: your son's middle name is lincoln. an excuse why he lost in at ari. justice department still not wanting to release the affidavit even as the president says he has nothing to hide.

say and how this is gone about instead of trying to defundus, taking money away that we need as a police department to staff and catch people doing these types of crimes. >> bill: your shortage of cops, you are short 352 sworn officers. you are short 133 civilian employees. you are 500 people short of the total you need in san francisco. i bet you would argue for more than that. which side of the defund argument is the mayor on today? >> so now the mayor is on the side of, you know, we need more money to get cops. we had money. you took it away from us. but that's water under the bridge now. we need to figure out what we are going to do today. 18 people won't do anything when we just had over 50 people

retire, leave or go somewhere else. i'm not a numbers person and i don't have a degree in accounting, even i know that's bad. >> bill: total crime up 13% from 2020. homicide you are up 36% from 2019. assault you are up 9% from 2020. larceny, theft up 24%. how is it working out with the new d.a. >> so we're hopeful. there is a prosecutor who is in that office. we haven't had that for a long time. but, you know, she is up against some, you know, stiff crime that is happening. it is not something that will happen overnight to fix it. we just made some arrests in the crime that you talked about where you led off the story. one was 11 years old knowing what they are doing but they won't get charged. it will go to community court.

believe me, that 11-year-old i hate to say it, he will be back out committing the same type of crimes because he is getting a pass. >> bill: 11 years old. how many more are you still looking for, lieutenant? >> looking for one more. i have to think the hard working men and women of the san francisco police department and the members we represent are going out there and identifying. unfortunately this tells you how young they are that our officers are identifying them in several crimes, not just this one. you have kids out there committing crime. this is why people hate politicians. because they say one thing, coming out you know what and they do something that's opposite all because they want to stay in power because elections are coming up. so now, yeah, we'll be tough. no, you shouldn't have had it from the beginning, right? and then you ask us to come in and clean it up but you wereville filing us before. i feel like i'm in a bad

relationship with the politicians in the city. make up your mind. do you want us to do our job or else shut up and go back in your office and close the door. >> bill: i like the frank talk. we hope you go four for four for beating up that woman who was 70 years old. >> dana: i admire her so much. former president trump is demanding the immediate release of the government affidavit supporting the f.b.i.'s search of his home at mar-a-lago. the justice department wants a judge to keep it secret saying it could hurt their investigation. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good morning. >> bill: good morning to you. every town needs a lieutenant mccray, don't you think? >> dana: amazing. i want to shake her hand. >> bill: trump is not the only one who wants to see the affidavit. several news organizations wanting to see it. merrick garland is fighting it. senator lindsey graham telling us last hour it is high time

for full disclosure. >> when it comes to trump there are no rules. every republican should be suspicious of what has happened in the past, happening again. so we need the affidavit. show your cards, merrick garland can't have it both ways. he can't give us the inventory of the warrant without telling us why it was necessary. without the affidavit we're flying blind in the dark and the american people have gone through too much pain and heartache on this endless effort to destroy donald trump. >> dana: ohio congressman mike turner ahead. but first mark meredith. what can we expect in the next couple of days? >> there is no guarantee the former president will get his way. it will up to a judge to decide whether the affidavit should be released or not. we do know there will be a hearing scheduled this thursday at 1:00 p.m. in west palm beach. that broke a few minutes ago and give us an idea where things stand whether or not any documents related to the

affidavit or previous warrant material will be released. overnight the former president weighs in saying it should be made public. late last week both the justice department and trump unsealed the search warrant and outlined what investigators were looking for. it recovered 11 sets of documents labeled classified or top secret. the warrant revealed trump is under investigation for possible obstruction of justice and violations of the espionage act but didn't tell the whole story how the government found the documents in the first place. trump is accusing them of abuse of power and political smear campaign. now he says in the interest of transparency i call for the immediate release of the completely unredacted affidavit pertaining to this horrible and shocking break-in. also the judge on this case should recuse. late monday the government filed a motion to keep the affidavit sealed. the justice department argues if released it could cause significant damage to the ongoing investigation.

some of that court paperwork the government writes if disclosed the affidavit would serve as a roadmap to the government's ongoing investigation providing specific details about its direction and likely course in a manner highly likely to compromise future investigative steps. a lot of information in that affidavit. the justice department says it doesn't oppose additional material tied to the search warrant being revealed. we don't know when it may happen. want to mention the former president that mentioned his passports had been taken from mar-a-lago. justice department said they have been returned and we're told two of the three passports were expired when they were removed from mar-a-lago. dana, never a dull moment. a story that keeps on giving. >> dana: thank you, mark. the senate intelligence committee is requesting a private briefing on the matter from the justice department. ohio congressman mike turner is the ranking republican on the committee. do you have oversight over the justice department, the way our system works. do you think you will be able to see this even in the

classified setting republicans and democrats to be able to see that for your own eyes? >> we should. one thing we know is first off the department of justice and f.b.i. had options. they didn't have to do the most intrusive, invasive execution to get these documents alleged to be highly classified by going into mar-a-lago and spending nine hours. they could have gone to court and asked for the subpoena to be enforced and documents turned over to a court. we know from the warrant they are making allegations that the president had classified documents and from the inventory did not include anything about passports. they allege they have taken classified documents from his residence. what did they tell the court to get that warrant? we will only know that through the affidavit. did they claim these documents represented a high national security threat which really should be the bar to be going into a former president's home. secondly, show us the goods. what did they get? when they claim to have

classified documents and national security threat, was there? show us the affidavit and let us know what you told the court you would find and show us what you found and let's see the boxes. >> bill: last hour turley was saying you can redact parts of it and not reveal some sort of investigation underway. maybe the judge makes that decision on thursday. we got word he will hold the hearing at 1:00 in the afternoon. "wall street journal" bill mcgurn wonders this. merrick garland goes solo in mar-a-lago search. the biden know about it? if not that's disturbing. you break down the walls of 200 years of precedent without talking it over with others? what do you think happened? >> if you notice, the attorney general has never said he did not inform the white house. only the white house has been claiming that they had no knowledge. interesting to see what the attorney general garland says when he actually gets to the point where he will answer questions. we know this. this raid was undertaken against president biden's

political rival. we also know that donald trump himself personally derailed garland's path to the supreme court and we also know that the f.b.i. has in the past committed bogus information to get a warrant that was directed at donald trump where they used the bogus russia dossier that even "the new york times" says is not factual and submitted to a court as their basis to get a warrant against donald trump. there is a pattern here and the unequal application of the law and hillary clinton and a similar issue, it shows that the attorney general, department of justice have got to give an explanation and justify this to the american public. >> dana: i was wondering this. you have democratic counterparts on your committee and that you see. especially on the committee. do you get a sense that any of those democrats -- we don't need names -- are concerned about the unprecedented nature of this, that they have some trepidation of it as well? >> i think everyone should. certainly you have had on a bipartisan basis calls for this

information to be released. and calls for the documents to be reviewed by the intelligence committee to determine whether or not they were highly classified documents here. in order for them to have gone into his house. they spent nine hours there. they would have had to have said to the court there is a high national security risk from the documents that are there. they will have to prove that. they will have to show to us it rose to that level and the other options available to them, even just asking the court or the former president in the process of cooperation, tell them what they know, ask them to comply, none of that was followed before they went into his home. >> bill: mike turner, thank you. the republican from ohio. bring you back soon. they had a good catch there. merrick garland hasn't been asked the question and not forced to answer it ye. >> dana: i worked at d.o.j. before i went to the white house. one of the spokes people but the most valuable thing i

learned is 101 ways to say no comment. there is an art to it. >> bill: that way you don't lie. the power of president trump's political endorsements in full view today as voters in alaska head to the polls. watching this race. the former president has called on republicans to oust the moderate senator lisa murcowski and replace her with a more conservative candidate. chief correspondent jonathan hunt is watching the action in anchorage, alaska. they have funky rules for this election. good morning. >> they do indeed, bill. good morning to you. voting gets underway in person here in just under an hour. moderate republican senator lisa murcowski has been campaigning hard trying to ignore the fact that donald trump, the former president, has called her lousy and the worst senator in the united states. senator murcowski said she is focused on what's good for alaska. listen here. >> you tell me any candidate, any candidate that will be on

this primary ticket on tuesday that can deliver the results for alaska like lisa murcowski. >> you are confident will you remain senator? >> i am. i believe the people of alaska will return me to the united states senate. >> her strongest opponent on the republican side is a candidate endorsed by president trump clinging onto the former president's coattails and trying to tysen tore murcowski to president joe biden. listen here. >> she consistently votes along with the d.c. insider. whatever makes her popular with the friends she has had for 21 years on capitol hill. her friend joe biden. she votes with him 70% of the time or more. that's not in the best interest of alaska and we know it. >> bill: there is a open house

seat. sarah palin is running for that seat. her opponent is from a candidate steeped in alaska colleagues. he has said she is trying to run on the former president's endorsement. he told us yesterday that this is not the celebrity apprentice, it is the u.s. congress. >> bill: see how it turns out. jonathan hunt, nice to see you in anchorage. >> dana: new numbers from customs and border patrols are alarge. mexican drug cartels being violence and deadly drugs to the southern border. can border patrol stem the tide? we have the story next. >> bill: president biden eager to get his agenda on track inking a huge climate and tax bill today. >> dana: far left district attorney gascon getting a new lease on left as the effort to recall him fails. >> george gascon can say today

>> dana: shocking new numbers from the southern border. agents report nearly 200,000 migrant encounters in the month of july. fentanyl seizures are up 203% in just the last month and 10

people apprehended were in the f.b.i.'s terrorist screening database. bill melugin is live in eagle pass, texas with the latest. the fentanyl numbers and the number of people, those are just the ones they know of. we don't know about the gotaways or drugs that got in here, bill. >> good morning to you. that's right. more than half a million gotaways since october. that's not reflected in these numbers. let's get into the numbers and show our viewers. in july cbp reported just under 200,000 illegal crossings at the southern border. 2/3 of which were single adults. 67% is what we've been seeing on the ground as well. only 74,573 title 42 expulsions. most of the people were released into the united states. so far in fiscal year 2022 there have been over 1.9 million illegal crossings and we still have two months left to go in the fiscal year.

we're certainly going to hit 2 million and pull up the graphic. known and suspected terrorists arrested at the southern border in the month of july cbp reporting 10 arrests. from fiscal year 2017 to 2021 we only had 26 arrests. we are double the last five years combined so far in fiscal year 2022. it is concerning when you have more than half a million gotaways just since october. take a look at this wild pursuit video. the smuggler pulls over and illegal immigrants out of that vehicle almost endless. 20 people were in that vehicle. they all go bailing out and run into the brush. pursuit picks up again. eventually ends in a residential neighborhood where the smuggler foot bails and

texas dps caught the human smuggler. these pursuits happen every day out here at the southern border. lastly look at this photo. this is concerning. border patrol in tucson, arizona reporting their border patrol agents found an abandoned bag of weapons off the side of a road including an ar-15 and na k-9. as well as 300 rounds of ammunition. they don't know where it came from. back out here live the other startling thing you mentioned off the top from june to july cbp reports their fentanyl seizures shot up 203%. they report 60% of all the fentanyl they get in the country is in the san diego area and san diego's fentanyl-related deaths are up 2300% since 2016. >> dana: hard to fathom. very frustrating. >> bill: drug cartel violence rocking the city of tijuana just across the border from

california. the widespread shootings and arson forcing mexico to deploy hundreds of national guard troops there. robert el monte, thank you for your time. how big of an issue is this now? >> it's a huge issue. it is a tremendous issue. things are completely out of control in mexico. the bottom line is that the cartels are calling the shots in mexico. they are in control and that's the bottom line. we have numerous -- millions of migrants coming to the united states and then you have all the fentanyl coming into the united states. the recent violence in tijuana and other areas is all cartel related and the gangs working for the cartels. this is a show of force, a show of intimidation that the cartels are in charge. this is no different than what happened back in 2019 in

another city when they arrested one of the sons of el chapo and the mexican government basically was forced to release him. that sent a message to the cartels that they are in control. they call the shots and it's just unbelievable. and the other thing -- >> bill: let me show our viewers two of the main cartels there, one is the sinaloa, primary drug trafficker of drugs in the united states. the d.e.a. says it's a major driver of fentanyl operation in 50 countries once run by el chapo. the other cartel traffic methamphetamine and known for extreme and intimidating violence. the head of the d.e.a. on our program a month ago. her message was pretty direct and straight forward. here she is. >> these two mexican drug cartels sinaloa and cj and g

and poisoning americans at record rates. these two cartels are primarily responsible for the fentanyl and methamphetamine flooding into the united states and it's killing people. these are not plant-based drugs. it is a different and more deadly drug threat than we've ever seen in our country. >> bill: in 2022 on screen now, look at the third line on this graphic here. from 2021 to 2022 we have nearly 73,000 deaths because of fentanyl. what can we do, chief? and what can the mexican government do, if anything? >> the bottom line is we aren't doing anything. the united states government, our agents working the southwest border, border patrol, customs, dea. they need more personnel and technology and they aren't getting the support they need

from our government. they are not getting the appreciation they need from our government. the other thing, too, our government needs to put pressure on the mexican government for them to do something to go after the cartels. the fentanyl that's flowing over here into our country is poison and it's killing a lot of people and the mexican cartels are the number one threat to our national security without a doubt. i just don't understand why we aren't doing anything really. we aren't doing anything. we aren't doing enough. it is all dog and pony show on our part and a lot of lives are being lost. i feel so bad for the good people of mexico and i feel badly for the people here in the united states that have one less person at the dinner table during holiday because they lost them to an overdose due to fentanyl. >> bill: you aren't alone. thank you for sharing your message today. good luck, sir. thank you. >> dana: fox news has learned money from actor leonardo dicaprio's nonprofit is helping

don't really think it's likely she got it from the president because he had some rebound. he retested positive but this is over a week ago since he tested negative. there are so many places you can get covid these days. chances are she didn't get it from him. second thing is could she give it back to him? one thing we have not talked about enough during the pandemic and certainly the government has not talked about enough is the immunity you get from having covid. i don't believe he can get this back. it is most likely the same variant. i think he is protected. they will have him wear a mask for 10 days as a precaution. the chances are very unlikely that he would get it back. third point is about her isolating for five days. a lot of us don't think five days is enough. she is going to do two rapid tests after that and if they are negative she will go back into circulation. we are seeing a ton of paxlovid rebound. i think the drug works and in a

high-risk groups and decreases her risk of hospitalization and death. it is good she is taking it. her current systems are mild. just upper respiratory. >> bill: nice to have you on. >> thanks. >> president biden: i stand squarely behind my decision. after 20 years, i have learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw u.s. forces. that's why we're still there. we were clear-eyed about the risk. the truth is, this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated. >> bill: so one year ago today president biden defending his decision to withdraw u.s. troops out of afghanistan. that same day this happened.

hard to erase from your mind. the hours after the taliban took over the capital city. for more on what's happening today and in the future former ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley is here in studio. thank you for coming back. >> happy to be here. >> bill: are you able to gauge the legacy of that image? >> it is hard to watch that. it still takes your breath away. i'm the wife of a combat veteran who served in afghanistan. they put their heart and soul in there for two decades and it still kills me we left bagram air force base in the middle of the night without telling our allies, who stood shoulder to shoulder with us for two decades because we asked them to be there. i had been -- i went to afghanistan when i was at the united nations. we met with the girls and the women and we saw what was happening with that government and the idea now that women

can't hold jobs. girls can't be in school. they are out of public life, you know, it is just difficult to think. not to mention the americans that we left there and the afghans who had been so good to our soldiers and really helped them. the idea they are in hiding right now. >> dana: there is a report that 96% of thoefs did not get out. the state department has a different point of view. i can understand they want to defend the actions, ned price. listen here. >> ending the longest war in american history was never going to be easy. but one year later we are in a stronger position as a country because of the president's decision. better able to focus on the threat and challenges but also the opportunities of today. >> dana: when you think about our allies, do they think we're in a stronger position? >> what's amazing about that they think if they say something it's true. the second that blunder happened in afghanistan it was the green light for every enemy

we had. then you saw russia move into ukraine. then you saw china starting to threaten taiwan. now you see iran trying to assassinate americans on our own soil. that was the day america became weak and the world became less safe all because of the decisions the biden administration made. now you say what's the solution to that? the solution is snap out of it. we need to get strong. how are the terrorists wanting to come to america through the southern border. close the southern border. start to be strong against china and start to hold and have ukraine's back and get taiwan ready. we have to start focusing. the last thing biden needs to do is get back into the iran deal. it would be catastrophic. >> bill: that may maybe en. we'll see. those on the terror watch list walking across the border. why isn't there greater concern about this? when you think about the

billions we have spent in our airports across this country and around the world for the past 20 years to make sure you can't get on an airplane but you can cross the southern border. thoefs are the ones we can account for. >> it is irresponsible at best of what biden is allowing to have happen. let me tell you, if a terrorist attack happens on our soil it is not if, but when. he will have blood on his hands because you literally are allowing these people to go through. you are not vetting them. you are releasing them into our country. every state is a border state and it is unacceptable that they have not closed that border knowing that already 60 terrorists have come to that border that we know of. it is terrible. >> dana: do you think -- we mentioned putin invading ukraine and after that the biden administration would say we pulled together nato. nato is stronger than ever and we added two new members. something to be said for those efforts. did they learn something from

not informing our allies about afghanistan and the danger we see in ukraine? >> nato pulled together and got stronger because america got weaker and knew we couldn't handle it. the fact they all came together because they are like we're in trouble. when you see the america this week, the world shakes at this because when we speak, the world listens. when we do, the world follows. who we are the world wants to be. after afghanistan all of that changed. >> bill: putin scared the daylights out of berlin and warsaw. 59% disapprove of the job the president is doing on foreign pollz. something you talked about a lot. you write about it today in the "wall street journal." free enterprise, not central planning, will beat china. politicians seem to be forgetting what made the u.s. economy great. sounds like a campaign of sorts. make your point first. >> first of all, economic freedom is what has made us the best country in the world.

when you look at the chips act and you look at what they claim is the inflation reduction act, which is a tax hike, you look at over 700 billion dollars that politicians decided to spend, democrats and some republicans to try and do exactly what china does, you can't beat china by trying to be china. central planning from the top down will never work. you have to allow that innovation and economic freedom from the bottom up. the idea that there is this socialist creep is happening is terribly -- it's scary in terms of what our politicians are doing. they want to direct which industries get money and where the industries go and direct the technology they do. they want to direct the decisions. that's not the america we know and love. the america we know and love has always relied on economic freedom. >> dana: thank you for being here. it is important to hear your thoughts on that. we were talking about the

>> bill: the president will take a short break to return to the white house to sign a nearly $740 billion spending and tax hike bill. they call it the inflation reduction act. you can debate that. helping to boost his domestic agenda along with his record low poll numbers. peter doocy from the north lawn has the low down today. >> the republicans up the street on the house ways and means committee ask the nonpartisan congressional office to look at this bill and the cbo came back with a calculation that $20 billion of this $740 billion climate and tax code package is going to come from new taxes on people making less than $400,000 a

year. and that would appear to violate this pledge. >> president biden: i am making the largest corporations in america pay their fair share without any new taxes on people making under $400,000 a year. >> there is going to be a big inflation reduction act party here at the white house three weeks from today. the president wants to sign it into law as soon as possible and leaving the first lady who has covid down in south carolina and stopping here quickly to sign it before heading to his next vacation in delaware. but the bill signing in between is something republicans are arguing is going to really backfire. >> we know that more government spending leads to more inflation. unfortunately the democrats just passed a partisan bill that significantly increases government spending and grows the size of government. so we are going to see more inflation now because of more bad policy by joe biden and the congressional democrats.

>> the bill president biden will sign today is the one that dramatically expands the size of the i.r.s.. 87,000 new tax men and tax women. the bill's authors, democrats in congress, say it is to go in and find wealthy tax cheats. but the press secretary told me that they tl* won't be any new audits on people making less than $400,000 a year. treasury has clarified that to say there won't be an increase in the share of audits of the middle class. >> bill: look at the percentage. thank you, peter. nice to see you peter doocy, north lawn. >> dana: most americans dread the idea of an i.r.s. audit for a good reason. our next guest got a knock on the door 13 years ago and the beginning of a grueling experience and now they have a warning. can you imagine a government coming into your home and you have to give them everything. it shouldn't have happened to us. it is about to happen to you, too if you own a business. anyone remember being self-employed was a good thing?

every move i make the government wants to control it. ranch owners are here today with their story. thank you so much for being here. i wanted to talk to somebody who had gone through this. debra, maybe start out by explain to people what your business is and what happened that day when they knocked on your door. >> sure. we are a farmer since he was 18 years old. generational. we got audited over a $7800 engine rebuild on a very old tractor, 1990 tractor. it was a very important tractor to us. so we couldn't afford a replacement. we're basically middle class. they just said it was a red flag and we are going to audit you and coming to your house and i thought gosh, can i get

back to you? that wasn't an option. they came to our house and asked for the bank records for that year. i took out our box of receipts and handed it to him and said here is your receipt and the tractor. the guy's number is on it. it is legitimate. he said okay, i will now need three years of your life and the bank statements. i kept everything in binders so it was -- all the information was there. i wasn't hiding anything. >> dana: when you asked him about -- this is incredible, david, fill this part in. you asked why he was going after you, basically had to fill a quota, david. >> probably. they said it flagged it because our expenses were high that year because of this repair. and that's what it was. we knew when he said it, there were too high we pulled out the bill and showed it to him and oh. but he wasn't satisfied.

he kept digging and digging. ended up nailing us, our tax person was giving us 80% on our work vehicle. and he said no you can only do 50%. who takes the kids to school? i said i take them in the morning, my wife stayed at home and i took them while i am going to the field somewhere and he goes you can't do that. you can only use 50% and that's -- >> dana: i don't want to lose the time we have the limited time with you and such an important guest for us. debra, what do you want people there -- out there in the world to know? this is a possibility. your chances of being audited are going up. yes, the rich might get more audits but middle class people are, too. what should they be prepared for? >> i was very naive about the situation and had no idea of the power, scope going in three years of my life. sitting at my living room table and having no control over that

and the information he was given. it was very invasive. it was very -- you feel very attacked. that guy wanted to go back and say i got her. and they want to get you. if they are coming after you for an audit they don't want to see your receipt and go okay you are good. they will nitpick your life apart and it's not what the american dream is for self-employment, small business. that's just a kick in the seat to do that to people living the american dream. >> he got 750 from us and there for three days and came from dallas every day. >> dana: unbelievable. you guys are amazing americans. thank you and thank you for being good americans to come on the show and tell us your story. appreciate it. >> bill: in a moment fox news got ahold of emails that

>> dana: fox news getting ahold of e-maims that show leonardo dicaprio used his nonprofit foundation to award grants to a dark money group and they donated to a private law firm and that one is leading climate-related lawsuits nationwide. we have more. >> good morning. that's right. leonardo dicaprio's nonprofit foundation awarded grants to a dark money group which in turn funneled millions to a law firm spearheading climate activism lawsuits. correspondence between a major philanthropist and climate professor now a senior biden administration official revealing in 2017 the two worked with the law firm to raise money for its effort to

sue oil companies according to emails obtained by watchdog group government accountability and oversight, gao and shared with fox news. in the emails they acknowledge they have already received support from the leonardo dicaprio foundation ceo. here is that email quote. his new role with the foundation has been a key support. two months later leonardo dicaprio foundation publicly announced it would contribute $20 million in grants to various climate and conservation causes. one is the collective action fund. quote here support precedent-setting legal actions to hold major corporations in the fossil fuel industry liable for the effects of climate change pollution. his foundation isn't the only organization to give money to these suits. there are lots of them. several have given money to similar causes including soros, open society foundation. then a lot of democrats like

rhode island senator whitehouse decried the money but we don't think we'll hear much about the dark money because it is going to causes that dems support. >> dana: you will hear about it for the ones they don't. a lot of money floating around. >> bill: did he pull the trigger or not? alec baldwin's attorney hitting back to the f.b.i. report. jeff paul is live in l.a. for the fallout on what killed the cinematographer. >> attorneys are pointing out are looking at this report and filed by the state medical investigator's office that says the shooting was an accident. they also are making note that they believe that the f.b.i. report is being misconstrued and that the gun fired in testing only one time without having to pull the trigger when the hammer was pulled back and the gun broke in two different

places. baldwin's lawyer is referring to the f.b.i. analysis of the revolver in baldwin's hands at the time of the shooting of the rehearsal that led to the shooting death of the cinematographer. it suggested the gun was in working order and could not have been fired in full cock position without the pull of a trigger. however, back in december you might remember that baldwin said during a sit-down interview he did not pull the trigger. now, bill, we wait to see if prosecutors are going to file any charges. >> bill: thank you, jeff. nice to see you today. jeff paul in los angeles. thanks for that. >> dana: that's interesting. follow that one. might sight on "the five" maybe. before we go. so it's happy 25th anniversary eve. peter and i met 25 years ago tomorrow on an airplane. this is before cell phones, right?

and i think so if you want to meet somebody on a plane put your phone down and have a conversation. we talked for 2 1/2 hours from denver to chicago. a photo by the one and only bill hemmer. >> bill: sometimes he can do it. >> dana: you have the flag. congratulations to us. >> bill: happy silver eve. >> dana: i wonder what i'm getting? harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. unacceptable and far too often dangerous. new southern border numbers showing our sovereign nation on a collision course with the 2 million mark. a political fight hotter than ever right now over where exactly that flood of illegal immigrants should go once they are here. and told to be free to move about the country. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". border patrol agents made
