>> join us tomorrow morning. we have jimmie allen for a all american summer concert series. >> us with mullets. >> party on. >> cool. >> bill: thanks, guys, good morning. stunning admissions from the cdc saying it failed to meet the moment. calling its own guidance on the pandemic confusing and overwhelming. you think? >> dana: same. >> bill: good morning. i'm bill hemmer back together in new york. >> dana: i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." it's one of those things where you did an after action report after everyone had already said. she said it is significant. cdc director announced an agency-wide reset in response to an internal review that found the cdc was slow to react

to the evolving challenges of the pandemic. >> bill: the details of that review will be released next week. among the recommendations, share information faster, do a better job of translating it and prioritize public communications. the federal government we're talking about here, right? griff jenkins live from the white house with more on this. nice to see you. good morning. >> good morning. you put it correctly. it was a stunning admission and surprise that after years of contradictory and confusing information by their own account, over masks, vaccines, boosters, over social distancing in school, closures, they said they got it wrong and she wants to earn back the public trust saying this. for 75 years cdc and public health have been preparing for covid-19 and in our big moment our performance did not meet expectations. my goal is new public health action oriented culture at cdc

that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication and timeliness. a far cry what she was saying seven months ago when asked by bret baier about the falling trust and confidence in her agency. remember this? >> this is hard. we have ever evolving science with an ever evolving variant. my job is to provide updated guidance in the context of rapidly rising cases and that's what we've done and i'm here to explain it to the american people and committed to continuing to do so and to continuing to improve. >> it comes after the review of the cdc performance was ordered back in april. that report not yet publicly released but some like dr. marty makary is wondering if real change will even come. >> the public is hungry for an apology and some humility. is this really a communications stunt or is it authentic?

they're still pushing boosters for every 6-year-old in the united states and pushed boosters in babies and toddlers. if they want to make real change, they need to show it in their policy. >> what policy changes might be coming, that's very unclear. the white house is not commenting. president biden is in wilmington on vacation and no briefing scheduled. all we know now is that the white house monkeypox response team is going to have a meeting in about 30 minutes. dr. walensky on that team. >> bill: at least she said it. griff jenkins from the white house. is the course correction too little too late? talk to bill mcgurn from the "wall street journal" coming up this hour. >> dana: the battle over the affidavit in the mar-a-lago raid could be coming to a head. the federal judge hearing arguments today on whether to unseal the documents which is expected po contain details about the motive behind the search of former president trump's florida home. mark meredith is live in west

palm beach, florida for us. >> from hot and humid florida. later today we're going to have that hearing with several media organizations pushing for a judge to unseal this f.b.i. affidavit which would detail what led up to last week's search at mar-a-lago. former president trump would like to also see the affidavit unsealed. the justice department says, however, if a judge were to do that it could cause serious problems for the ongoing investigation into the former president. we know through court paperwork he is under investigation for possible obstruction of justice and violations of the espionage act after 11 cases of documents were found in his florida home months before the search, a lawyer for trump had told the justice department no classified documents were still being kept at mar-a-lago. the former president is essentially saying this case is all about political payback, the f.b.i. and justice department he called corrupt and representatives say they're holding onto surveillance video

when agents were there about a week ago. we don't know if that video will be released or if they will hold onto it. there are still some growing fears what it could mean for safety of federal law enforcement officers. yesterday while in new hampshire the former vice president mike pence not to take out their anger on the men and women of the f.b.i. >> we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decisions that he made without attacking rank and file law enforcement personnel at the f.b.i. >> trump is not going to be here in florida for today's hearing. his legal team will be in the courthouse behind me. so far looking around plenty of media. no trump supporters like what we saw a week ago. it could change as we get closer to the hearing and we may not get a ruling today. everybody is trying to figure out what my happen this afternoon. a thank you for the update.

"wall street journal" weighing in on the affidavit today with this headline. unseal the mar-a-lago search affidavit from the editorial board. dan henninger the columnist who writes on thus. let voters decide trump's future. an already depressed u.s. doesn't need a replay of the first term investigations. >> bill: belief seems to exit there is appetite for political anger is limitless. it is not. a prudent attorney general would shut it down. stay out of melania's closet and give the country a chance to look at what matters which this isn't. there is a suggestion it could be redacted. so fa we have three minutes from the attorney general a week ago and that's it. >> dana: they'll probably try to stick to that today.

>> bill: seven minutes past the hour. stunning video from the border in texas. a border patrol agent seen opening a barbed wire gate that was locked by the texas national guard. the agent stands aside as a group of migrants walk into the u.s. for processing. bill melugin captured it with more on this today. what happened there? hello. >> bill, good morning to you. as usual, we have ourselves yet another busy day out here in eagle pass. we'll get right to the video and show you now. like clockwork as soon as the sun came up this morning we had another large group of migrants crossing illegally to eagle pass. this group 150 in size. as you can see as usual it is predominantly single adults who crossed. we no longer see a bunch of little kids or family units like we were seeing last summer. the del rio sector has had more than 400,000 illegal crossings since october. those numbers double what they

were the same time last year. take a look at the video we shot late yesterday here in eagle pass as well. what you are looking at is a migrant woman, very pregnant who went into labor as she was crossing the river. border patrol had to go in a boat, fish her out. rescue her. possibly having contractions as they were pulling her out. you can see the law enforcement response. put her on a stretcher and in an ambulance and take her to the hospital. we see this sort of thing happen pretty often out here with pregnant women coming across the border. something tragic yesterday if we can pull up this video. three bodies were pulled out of the rio grande yesterday. all of them were presumed to be drownings. one of the bodies is here under a tarp being pulled out and being taken to a medical examiner's vehicle. the river was very swollen yesterday because we had storms all weekend long. very dangerous for crossings. lastly, take a look at these wild photos. this was 150 migrants who were

crammed into a trailer with a human smuggler. this was stopped in mexico before it got to the border here in the del rio sector. border patrol announcing this bust in conjunction with the mexican government saying they worked together to find this trailer and stop it before it got here. incredibly dangerous. we know what happened in san antonio earlier this year with more than 50 migrants who tragically died and essentially were baked to death in a hot trailer. back out here live last thing to show you all over the ground on the u.s. side of the border you will find these documents. these are the humanitarian travel visas that the mexican government gives to migrants once they cross into mexico. it allows the migrants to legally travel freely through mexico. well, what happens once they cross into the united states? they just dump them all over the u.s. side of the river. they don't need them anymore. the ones i'm holding are for three people from venezuela that crossed august 5 and 3. how quickly they move through

mexico, straight to the border with the u.s., mexican government knows this and they keep issuing these. send it back to you. >> bill: on that gate was that public land or private land or do we know? >> that's private property. it is a pecan orchard. the landowner allows border patrol and texas national guard to work there. what we saw for first time the national guard closed the gate, locked it and didn't let the migrants in. some wait for hours and then border patrol shows up with a key and they open the gate and let them all in. the contrast between the state of texas and the feds. >> bill: thank you, bill. great reporting again. unbelievable. day after day. bill melugin back on the border. [gunshots] >> dana: a las vegas robbery turned rampage leads police on

a car chase. >> bill: dangerous and deadly disguise. rainbow fentanyl made to look like candy and targeted at children in america. >> dana: one man's trash is another man's treasure. critics coming after khanna west. >> some people putting clothes in bags is insensitive to homeless and other people. >> i'm an innovator.

with an armed robbery suspect earlier this week. the suspect hit police cruisers and another car while escaping officers. trying to flee on foot shots were exchanged and the suspect died on the scene. >> bill: severe shortage of school bus drivers growing more dire. 86% of schools across the impact are impacted including chicago where the district is short 400 drivers as the new school year is about to get underway. fox business, madison all worth is live in how they're going to make it work. >> i've been talking to parents. some with school just four days away still don't know if their students will have a bus route. parents i've been talking to have kids with special needs. under law in illinois they are required to provide transportation and that transportation is supposed to be under an hour to get to school. i spoke to one mom on a trip with her family before the

school year starts saying the school district is not doing its job. >> it will take him two hours to get to school and two hours to get home. right now we can't do that. we aren't sure what to do. we've been trying to call chicago public schools education line trying to get ahold of anyone. you can sit on the line for hours waiting to get through. >> we reached out to chicago public schools. they said that families of special needs students that can't get transportation are being offered $500 a month. if their child still can't get to school they'll be given an excused absence until it is resolved. across the board cities are trying to hire bus drivers and offering incentives. in illinois some companies have raised pay and it is working. listen. >> a lot of my students are at home. when they see they're looking -- the pay is what they've been looking for they're coming to work. we've seen an uptick of people coming in over the last two,

three months. >> so this school bus driver comes in here they are still down 15% of drivers but have seen an improvement. the families we've spoken to are nervous. last year 2100 students did not get a ride that first day of school. here in chicago that's monday. so families are a little concerned about what is going to happen. >> bill: good to have you on the story. she is in chicago. >> dana: new york voters heading to polls again on tuesday for the state's second set of primaries. this time they will vote on senate and congressional races including the newly redrawn 12th congressional district that is much of manhattan and pits jerry nadler and karen maloney against each other. you have been playing a spoiler for the incumbent. this race is a solid democrat. you are one. tell us how the race is going from your perspective. >> our race now is pure energy

and pure momentum. we had a debate a few weeks ago with me representative maloney and nadler. the two of them talked about the 1990s. the early 2000s and trying to take credit for two decades ago accomplishments. i'm talking about the next decade. because of that, we are riding a wave of momentum right now. i would not consider myself the spoiler. we are going to win this race. i think we'll win this race. i'm very confident of it. you can see it on the streets and across new york city. people are looking for leaders for the future. looking for people who want to talk about how to bring new york back and how to go to washington and fight for our values for the next decade. it is not about. >> dana: new york needs some help, right? >> bill: i would agree. how old are u? >> 38.that.

but put the age to the side. look at the issues facing this city. recent poll crime is at 24% the biggest concern. economy 23%. that's the entire campaign. keep your family safe and can you keep your job? >> look, age is not the issue in this race. i'm the only candidate that never mentions age in this race. my opponents consistently mention my age in this race as if a 38-year-old male, the median age of an american adult male is not qualified for office. first off, you know, i'm a lawyer, i teach at nyu. i have a family. i'm not a child here in this race. look, the reason it's working, our race is working is what you just said. i'm the only candidate that has public safety mentioned on his website with a comprehensive plan for new york. i'm the only candidate who has

the word economy on his website and talks about inflation and talks about the cost of living in new york. to your point, manhattan has lost 5.9% of the population since the pandemic started. the population of people under 18 has dropped by 7%. population of people under the age of 5 has dropped by 9.6%. people of my generation are trying to decide whether they can have a family in the city they love or if they have to move out because it's unaffordable. >> dana: and it's not safe. when you bring up crime, do you talk about no cash bail. do you want to change that and concerned about the progressive nature of alvin bragg, the d.a. >> locally the perception is one thing. there is a national problem in terms of crime and the way we've tackled it. last year in new york city only 60% of homicides went solved. that's consistent with national numbers. that number has not changed across the country for decades. and so we need to reorient

policing to detective work. to clear crime. to clear homicides. >> dana: but they're retiring at an alarming rate without their pensions because defund the police led police to feel they were disrespected and if they arrest somebody they're back on the street. we talked about the suspect with 41 prior arrests before he was nabbed and unfortunately he killed someone. >> this crime wave issue is not unique to new york. we have a bail reform law. there needs to be reform on the bail reform law. judges should have discretion in specific instances of repeat where someone is caught for the same crime they may have already been -- >> bill: it can't keep going on like this. maloney and nadler are coming on the program to talk as well. that invitation is always out there. one of the issues as a democrat. one-party rule can lead you in the wrong direction. do you think new york is in the right direction now? >> i think new york city needs

new leadership at all levels. a lot of our folks have been in office unchallenged for decades. look at it this way. this is the first time in 30 years that manhattanites from a competitive election for who their next representative is going to be. i urge them to take this vote seriously. they are taking it seriously. they have been given their right to a choice. that's how democracy works. let's vote. vote. >> bill: thank you for coming by today. they bought mansions and yachts and luxury cars and investigators are trying to catch up with a tsunami of pandemic fraud in america. larry kudlow on that. kanye west is defending a fashion fail in a one-on-one interview with fox news. don't miss this. ♪♪♪

best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx®. >> president biden: wash dogs are back. my message to those cheats out there is this, you can't hide. we are going to find you. we will make you pay back what you stole and hold you accountable under the law. >> dana: president biden talking tough on fraud in covid pandemic relief programs. federal agents have their work cut out for them. get this. according to the labor department there are 39,000 open investigations into suspected unemployment fraud. 1,000% increase from pre-pandemic levels. larry kudlow is here. pretty frustrating for people to find this out. call for number one quickly. number of government employees working on the suspected fraud cases the labor department has 500 workers. 39,000 cases.

business administration, 50 works for 2 million cases of fraud, larry. >> good luck. good luck on that. can i just step back for a minute? these are very bad stories. i always thought the unemployment assistance, which went on and on and on and was done through the states, which had no capability of administering a couple hundred billion dollars of unemployment assistance and no work requirements or no any requirements. that money went to china, russia, asia, africa, crime syndicates and you name it? now what will they do? it will be difficult to get much of this stuff back. the estimates from the house ways and means committee about 160 something billion dollars of fraud in the unemployment

compensation and unemployment assistance. what are they going to do exactly? the moral of the story is do not shut down the economy, okay? it did not work. okay? we shut it down at the very beginning of the pandemic in march and april of 2020. probably should have stopped then. then it went on and on for almost two years. the shutdowns didn't work. the states that stopped shutting down did better than the states that kept shutting down. that's point number one. point number two, do not keep throwing government money. whatever the intentions are, there is no way to monitor it. fraud is inevitable, crime is inevitable. that's the way the system works. the government can't control any of this stuff. by the way, the covid is over, or mostly over, okay? i don't want to get slammed for that. it's basically over. we don't test anymore much. the fact of the matter is we're still throwing money at it.

this bill that just come down the pipe is $800 billion, they are still throwing money at these so-called social problems with no work requirements, with no way of monitoring or controlling it. >> bill: on that point, the trump administration gave out 3 trillion. biden 2 trillion. if you wanted to crack down on this instead of jacking up the i.r.s. by 2 times you would put that money toward this pandemic fraud that we're discussing here. you mentioned the i.r.a. inflation reduction act. what's in a name is the question. some of the answers are emerging through the media. just have a sample and listen to this, larry. >> they called it the inflation reduction act as a marketing device. in part to lock down the vote of joe manchin. >> inflation reduction act basically speaks to what everybody is concerned with

right now. kitchen table items. this is marketing genius. >> complete marketing tool. that was a title that seemed to work better than build back better. >> bill: i guess the truth had to come out at some point, larry. >> yeah, look. nobody ever believed this stuff. we just saw you got -- 40% -- actually a better poll. the tips poll one of the top three polls. 40% of the people believe that inflation is going to go up, okay? and some tiny number like 15% believe it is actually going to go down. that was a fraudulent claim to begin with. it is not going to work. my favorite thing here is the epa, environmental protection agency, now, kids, has its own bank, okay? aren't you happy to hear that? they have their own bank to hand out money against fossil

fuels, to get renewable money. $27 billion bank inside the e.p.a., which has -- wait for it -- no banking experience, no credit, no risk analyst, no payments mechanism, no nothing. $27 billion bank. i want you kids to sign up, dana perino, i nominate you for chairman of the bank. stu varney turned it down yesterday. your name is at the top of the list. >> dana: thank you so much for being here with us. see you at 4:00. i wanted to point one thing out on this whole thing on this inflation reduction act. senator manchin said democrats never said that the inflation reduction act would immediately bring down costs, but it is in the title of the bill. >> bill: hillary vaughn asked that and he answered it immediately. more to come out on this.

meanwhile, kanye west is facing backlash for his gap fashion line displaying the clothing in bags which many criticized as insensitive to the homeless. he spoke exclusively to eric shawn now known as shawn and joins us now. good morning. >> shawn here in front of the gap store in the middle of time square in manhattan where he did speak in an interview this morning. the only one he is doing with kanye west. he addressed the controversy speaking out about that controversy of his supposedly selling clothes in garbage passion. he wants everyone to know they aren't garbage bags but they are construction bags. he said it is being misunderstood. he wanted to point out that even though he came under fire yesterday on social media and

fox news and elsewhere, critics mocking his putting the clothes in bags felt he was trying to mock homeless people and this sort of thing. he says that's not at all the case. his aim and goal is just the opposite. he wants to make clothes easy and wants to challenge conventions such as dropping the use of hangers in stores and said he wants to make his clothing line informal and not pretentious. >> do you understand some people felt that putting clothes in bags is insensitive perhaps to homeless and other people? >> look, man, i'm an innovator and i'm not here to sit up and apologize about my idea. that's exactly what the media tries to do, make us apologize for any idea that doesn't fall under exactly the way they want us to think. >> he fears the criticism of

himself and artists can stifle innovation. in his words he told me, quote, don't clown the creators. >> this is not a joke or a game. this is not just celebrity collaboration. i'm ready for your apology. we are creating a thought. i've lost my best friend, my family. and i'm here still creating. >> he also told me he believes the interview was the path from god to put us together to get his message out. certainly i'm told the clothing line has sold out across the country and the publicity won't hurt it. >> bill: no doubt about that. e with yee in mid town manhattan. >> dana: mid-terms are two days away and things are heating up in pennsylvania in a race that could be key to determine the balance of power in the senate

and progressive los angeles district attorney george gascon said his crime policies are working just fine. our next guest, a victim of those policies, says otherwise. >> it is not the suffering for people victimized. it's every family. something has to give. businesses have to find new ways to compete in order to thrive in an ever-changing market. the right relationship with a bank who understands your industry, as well as the local markets where you do business, can help lay a solid foundation for the future. pnc provides the resources of one of the nation's largest banks and local leaders with a focus on customized insights to help your business achieve its goals. that's how we make a difference. ♪♪

>> dana: the streets of las vegas, watch this. [gunshots] carjacking suspect leading police on an hour long car chase around the valley. the suspect is facing a number of charges including attempted murder. william la jeunesse is live in los angeles to catch us up. >> dana, this guy was under surveillance for carjacking and robbery when this all began.

that's why you'll see the helicopter video. police will fire 37 shots. i'll show you five pieces of video. the first you will see 40-year-old with a pistol in his right hand get out of the gray toyota at a stoplight and basically forcing the owner of a truck onto the street. this guy is like what just happened? number two, police will try a pit maneuver on the rear bumper. they will fire two rounds into the cop's windshield. police fire back five times striking the truck but fail to kill the defendant. a few minutes late the man tries to carjack a woman in a white s.u.v. when she realizes what's happening she backs up. he shoots her twice hitting the windshield but missing the victim and continues on. number four. down the road he is going to drive into a parking lot

grocery store. he tries to run down the cops, five of the officers open fire 10, 15 feet away. they hit the truck but miss the defendant and fail to disable the truck. finally police know this guy is dangerous but after 40 minutes he is still on the run. you are going to see three pieces of video here, boom, there is the head on collision. this officer and his police s.u.v. puts his own life on the line and k-9 in fact and he takes a head on hit traveling 6 miles per hour. the crash captured by dash kam and bystander disabled both vehicles and both men and the dog will survive. see it right there. unbelievable. he is booked into jail. robbery and attempted murder of the out of those 37 shots no one was injured. >> dana: that was amazing story. incredible. thank you for the update.

we appreciate it. >> bill: wow. >> preliminary hearing october, maybe they want this to die down a little bit. maybe they want to tire me out a little bit. i'm ready for them any time. if that's what you want to do. because i want justice. >> bill: that's the former olympic medalist kim glass. she was the victim of a brutal attack while leaving lunch with a friend in l.a. in july. the suspect a homeless man with two prior felony assault convictions hurled a metal object at her fracturing her eye and other facial bones. kim glass is with us now. you look great. looked good on that instagram video. i know you are frustrated because your hearing has been pushed back several months and you expressed this yesterday. important to let people know all eyes are still on them and their decisions. how have you reset your mind frame right now for this, kim?

>> i think how i reset my mind frame to think kim, this is bigger than you and your frustration. i can't imagine what people going through way worse situations have to go through. that, you know, i have to tell myself this process of being a victim is grueling but it is not anything i can't handle. and look, i don't know if they pushed it back. i was told the defense wasn't ready. and i say how can you not be ready? i just woke up with lots of frustration that morning and i just had to express it but this process, i can't even imagine for people that go a year or two years. i'm only in the beginning and this is what victims have to go through? every time i go to a store someone says you are the girl attacked by the homeless man. everywhere i go everyone wants to talk about it. i'm trying to make sure that this is a part of my life but it is not who i am. >> dana: and you are here today.

it is your birthday. we wish you a very happy birthday. >> thank you. >> dana: beautiful american woman who is living as a victim trying to do the right thing. were you disappointed when you heard the recall effort against the district attorney gascon failed? >> honestly, i was disappointed. i think los angeles is disappointed. i think morale is a little bit low right now. what's very concerning when we don't have faith in our system to keep us safe, to keep violent repeat offenders off the streets and to protect us, what scares me is maybe people will start taking things into their own hands and that's something we don't want. but when you can't trust the people who are in charge to do their job and keep these repeat offenders off the streets, it's a scary situation.

this is not -- >> bill: the guy who hit you, is he out now or is he behind bars? >> he is on a parole hold and still behind bars. i think what's scary about that is the judge's discernment is concerning, right? how he can have the history of abusing women and who knows, maybe he has even abused lots of homeless women on the street and people who aren't even, you know, calling the cops about it, you know? they are not reporting it. so i just can't understand the discernment behind this. i think where my frustration lies is when i hear gascon say that his priority is public safety, i just yawn, yawn. we're tired of it. how can you say that and you are letting repeat violent offenders out on the streets to

get me, the irene lees and the cops that just were killed? this is ridiculous. >> bill: we'll talk again in a month or two. >> dana: happy birthday. >> thank you. >> dana: bye-bye. america's exit from afghanistan plunged his life into chaos. now a year later hamid is telling the story how he got his family out and how he is proud to be an american. >> the american people come together and they are united and are like one person. this is what i love about america and this is what i'm here for, to be part of that.

could have done better. >> bill: points for confessing. white house covid response coordinator pointing to major shortcomings in the government's response as the cdc admits guidance did not meet expectations. here to talk about "wall street journal" bill mcgurn. welcome back. good to see you today. props for confessing. but when you are dealing with the federal government and you are trying to say that we have to be faster next time, i have to think good luck with that. >> yeah, that's true. look, i don't blame the cdc for not knowing. there is a steep learning curve, right? i don't blame them for doing stuff that was later found out to be not quite so accurate. but a lot of this stuff like the six feet distancing rule was totally arbitrary and they enforced it with the zeal of

treating people that questioned it like heretics. so that's what i blame them for. for just stamping out the centers, putting in extreme measures that affected the livelihoods of people, that affected their ability to worship, that affected, you know, their jobs and so forth, the schooling for kids. i think a little more modesty about what they knew would have been better. >> dana: we'll see next week one they say. they said mask don't work, then universal masking. i think the report will say they didn't act quickly enough to disrupt social life and they should have done the shutdowns faster. we'll see what they say. i think you are right. we'll see what they can do about all of this mistrust that they have with the public as well. i also had to ask you this. james carville, famous democrat has a way with words. took on the progressive wing of his party saying this.

watch. >> we the end to get defined by some overeducated coastal elites that are trying to re write dictionaries. they have the ability to irritate. they have the ability to come up with the really stupid things like defund the police. >> dana: so he often speaks like this. speaks bluntly. i don't think the squad will care. what do you think? >> yeah, he is half right. they do have whacky ideas. the real problem, though, isn't the progressive left. it is that the whole democratic party allows themselves to be steered by them. look, joe biden won the primary because he wasn't bernie sanders. then what does he do? he basically adopts the sanders agenda. none of the progressives --

none of the moderates, so-called, can stand up to the progressives. they call the shots. that's the real problem. even joe manchin, ultimately surrenders because they put inflation in the name of the bill, promised some big permit reform in a pipeline. there is no one in the party that has shown a willingness to stand and hold the line against the progressive madness. >> bill: carville says the three worst words ever in the english language, defund the police. thanks for coming back. great to see you. >> dana: thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: battle for the control of the senate now centering on a slate of candidates backed by former president donald trump and with 82 days left until election day, republican leaders are a little worried because those candidates appear to be struggling at the moment with 82 days left to go. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer.

those 82 days will fly by. the trump factor complicating matters in races where republicans have a chance to win. minority leader mitch mcconnell saying all he cares about is electability. in pennsylvania, republican candidate dr. oz has been taking hits for a video about shopping for groceries and the high price of food. john fetterman mocked him showing he is out of touch with ordinary people in pennsylvania. have a look. >> in p.a. we call this a veggie tray. does this look anything other than a veggie tray? >> dana: bryan llenas. a serious race in pennsylvania. >> no doubt about it. it is a serious race. a viral video you see dr. oz walking in a grocery store talking about how inflation is really hitting americans hard and it is making things more

expensive in grocery stores, especially that. >> this is grocery shopping and my wife wants some vegetables for -- it's $20 for it and it doesn't include the -- fetter man said most people call it a veggie tray. the supermarket -- fetterman raised over $500,000 in 24 hours while giving out wegner's bumper stickers. dr. oz says he was exhausted campaigning when he made the video in april and sometimes he even gets his kids's names wrong and then fetterman attacks oz with owning 10 homes. you are dr. oz playing a board game. he then noted monopoly was invented in new jersey, a swipe at dr. oz for having lived in jersey for three decades.

dr. oz responded saying i purchased my homes with my money. you lived off your parents until you were almost 50. get off the couch, john. this is a battle over likeability. fox news poll says fetterman is viewed favorably by 49% of voters, dr. oz is viewed unfavorably by 55% of voters. another factor to keep an eye on is fetterman's health. he had a stroke three months ago. in his first public event last week it appears he is still recovering. >> we could have picked any part of pennsylvania where we are going to start the campaign trail starting, right? where are we? erie. >> dr. oz challenged him to five debates to talk about issues with comments said he agrees cutting prison population by 1/3. it is all playing out on social

media and fetterman seems to be benefiting from that right now. >> dana: thank you, bryan llenas. >> bill: illegal drugs are rampant in america and no stopping them at their source. we want to show you where they're coming from. they start in mexico. the illegal drugs. the production element for the drugs are made in china. that material is shipped to mexico where they are laced with drugs all over that country and eventually make their way to the u.s. who does this? the cartels in mexico. on the map behind us the darker the color here, the higher number of major cartels present. along the southwest border, california, arizona, new mexico, and the southwest border of texas major cartels in all these pockets of northern mexico. see a few others down here bordering with guatemala and belize as well. advance it one time. mexico city the capital. the one that sticks out to me

is monterey. for the past two years with the border on the southwest and so many migrants crossing monterey has been a point where illegals from all over the world have gathered to make the short drive up into the rio grande valley here in southeastern texas. advance it again here. this in red are the narcotic ports of entry into mexico. i see many of them down here in the pacific coast. a point they can come from asia and china. one more here. this is in green the narcotics points of entry into the u.s. where are they? take us back to the beginning right along this border area here between california, arizona, new mexico, and then the rio grande valley that you see three different points of entry here. it has been a major issue and there is no slowing down. slide over here one time and you can see what we tried to do for you is put it in motion. if you follow the black tracking numbers from these various points of entry, the

various mexican cities and eventually to the green points of entry in the u.s., this is a big problem for america and right now we see no chance of stopping the cartels. that is on the map. this is in real life now in the pacific northwest. roll it and listen. >> biggest fears it will get in the hands of children who don't understand what it is that they have and thinking that it is sidewalk chalk or a piece of candy and ingesting it and potentially overdosing on what is a very, very potent drug killing hundreds of thousands of people a year. >> dana: a dangerous and deadly new threat to our children. rainbow fentanyl made to look like candy or colored chalk. police are finding it up and down the west coast. the deputy director of the high intensity drug area program. what do people need to know?

>> thanks for having me on. number one like the director stated in the clip, this stuff is highly colorful. looks like chalk. it looks like the same chalk my kids played with. it can come in any shape or form and a small child picks it up thinking it is chalk and they can overdose. they touch the chalk, put it in their hands and mouth and we would have a catastrophe. we're seeing powder fentanyl and we're seeing counterfeit m-30s, our seizures are going up across the state of oregon and idaho and there seems to be more stopping it. >> bill: when you look at your part of the country, why is it an issue in oregon and idaho or are you the exception or the rule in this crisis? >> i think we're the rule. i think we always had a high heroin use in the pacific

northwest. fentanyl is just really replacing that and with the counterfeit m-30s the mexican cartels are learning how to capture a whole new clientele. >> dana: are they looking for addicts or looking to poison children? >> they are looking to increase their business model. they are looking for more users and they are trying to find more users. i don't think they care about any collateral damage. >> bill: they are looking for a market, aren't they? >> absolutely. >> bill: they found one unfortunately in your state. >> that's correct. all up and down the west coast. >> bill: last question, sir. do you see an effort on behalf of the federal government to help towns like yours? >> i see an effort by the drug enforcement administration, absolutely.

outside of that, there is not near enough resources to put at this program to do any good. it is just increasing over the last three years. it has gotten really bad. >> dana: rainbow chalk. we'll be on the lookout for it as parents everywhere should. we'll stay in touch. >> thanks for having me. >> bill: good luck. nine past the hour a federal judge in cleveland, ohio awards $650 million in damages to two ohio counties that sued cvs, walgreens and wal-mart over opioids. that money will be used to fight the opioid crisis in two counties outside of cleveland, ohio. that stands. if that holds up there will be a lot more money coming in. >> dana: the pharmacies. the "wall street journal" has more about it today. the pharmacists were told they had to prescribe and give it. there will be a fight there. the mother in oregon when he learned about this rainbow fentanyl, she had some words. let's listen to her here.

>> the new school year. kids will definitely be more attracted to that than the blue pill. let's shut this down as soon as we can. i don't think we should take this lightly. >> bill: it was very important for ned walz. washington should give more help to the dea. as we can see it is an epidemic out of control. >> dana: the maybe you showed how it gets through from china, through the ports and mexico and into the united states. >> bill: all tied together. >> dana: you talk about it more often and we will. also this. video of a man sucker punching another man outside a bronx restaurant. the assailant put on gloves before knocking the man to the ground. the suspect has a lengthy rap sheet and convicted of first degree sex abuse in 1985 and sentenced to six years to life. he was also convicted on a robbery and weapons charge in

the 1990s. nate foye live in new york city. what else was in his record? >> dana, good morning. the suspect is 55-year-old a registered level three sex offender. the most serious kind of sex offender you can be. you mentioned he has a lengthy criminal history. he has been on parole since 2019. not only the sex crimes but a history of weapons. in this case, though, he is accused of using his fist and a pair of gloves you mentioned. look at this attack. last friday, the video just released by police. accused of sneaking up behind the man in the restaurant in the bronx. the guy gets sucker punched in the face. no words were exchanged before this, either. it was totally unprovoked. the victim smashed his head on the concrete and rushed to the hospital. knocked unconscious in this attack. police say the man went back into the restaurant before leaving. now he has been arrested. this is his picture from the

sex offender registry. he was convicted of sexually attacking a 17 y50er8d girl back in 1994 and now in this attack he is charged with attempted murder. this comes as crime is surging in the big apple. felony assault is up 19% from this time last year. overall crime is up 36%. you see shootings in public, innocent people being victimized and bringing more criticism on new york city mayor eric adams who came into office promising to fix the crime problem in this city. so far some say that has not happened. adams largely blames new york's bail laws for violent criminals but critics argue without more support from new york governor kathy hochul and state lawmakers he hasn't been able to make a sizeable impact. as for the victim in this attack. the 52-year-old remains in critical condition with a fractured skull, bleeding in his brain and a broken cheekbone. if there is any good news, he is described as being in stable

condition this morning. >> dana: remarkable. he hope he gets better. thank you, nate. >> bill: so brutal. how bad is the homeless crisis? so bad that families in a democratic-run city are pulling up stakes, selling their homes out of sheer frustration. that's next. >> dana: a newlywed killed during her honeymoon in paradise. >> bill: kanye west is firing back at critics. >> we have to respect our mavericks. we have to respect the people that are the heads of industry, that are attempting to do something, that are doing something to bring -- to bring our country back. now make another one and turn your equity into cash. with the newday 100 va loan you can take out up to $60,000 or more.

>> bill: rampant homelessness in one of portland's most affluent neighborhoods is having people flee the city. she has seen an increase in people heading out because of an encampment. the portland mayor's office said there are 6,000 homeless in the city. many believe the number is much higher than that. they might be right because it's been going on for some time. >> dana: you see in los angeles one of the things you see there, a lot of people leaving the city.

when they talk about their problems like what is the most important thing to you, homelessness is right up there and crime. those are connected and the economy. it is all part of the same thing and people will start to leave. >> bill: we talk about the great migration in america because of covid and another offshoot off it. >> dana: there is this in the crime realm. american man charged with murdering his wife during their honeymoon in fiji appearing in court today. prosecutors say he killed his wife at a resort last month and fled the scene to a nearby island. lauren green is live in the new york newsroom with more. what can we expect today? >> bradley first confessed to police he murdered his pharmacist wife saying they had a fight. after he lawyered up changed his story according to the daily mail. the 34-year-old maintains his 36-year-old wife's death a little more than a month ago was an accident and that she

was alive when he left her. officials see it differently and have charged him with murder. the tennessee couple wed in february after a three month romance. on their honeymoon that the parents paid for in early july. witnesses say they had a drunken argument during a party on the beach on july 9th and continued the heated quarrel heading to their $3500 a night bungalow. not long after, guests in the bungalow next door said they heard arguing. loud scream and then silence. the following day the couple's personal butler found the woman's body on the floor of the bathroom. authorities say she died from multiple traumatic injuries including blunt force trauma to the head. police found the husband 36 hours later when he reportedly confessed but his lawyer told the daily mail he can't be held

criminally responsible on the evidence that they have presented so far. there is no proof of the charge of murder with intention to kill or premeditation and that on the face of it, it looks like an accident. the husband has not entered a plea and his bail hearing has been delayed a second time and now scheduled for september 1st. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: let's bring in attorney brian clayfeld. i was looking up this resort area earlier today. this is high-end stuff, brian and it is way out there in the south pacific. take the facts from what we think we know. he confesses and then retracts. how do you defend that? >> great to be back with you. the optics don't look good for dawson. his lawyer made a comment well, looks like an accident here. it is a hard defense. in an accident, bill, you are not going to have the traumatic

type of injuries she sustained. for example in the brain. her brain was battered so much that they couldn't embalm her body because the fluid would have leaked out of her brain. that doesn't sound to me like -- it is horrific. that doesn't sound like an accident. an accident is you will trip, fall, maybe you hit the side of your head but she also had traumatic injuries around her chest and arms as well. that's a hurdle for the defense. another hurdle is this. >> bill: there could have been evidence inside here. he took a kayak to an island. there is the cistern of a toilet was cracked and broken. that could have been the weapon that he used. go ahead. >> absolutely. that's a great point. the cistern is that hard cement-type top of the toilet. it was cracked and that would be consistent with type of trauma that she sustained to her head.

another important note here, bill, is they delayed today filing the actual charges to get bail because they wanted to file postmortem information. i think what they are talking about they probably did d.n.a. testing under the skin of the woman who was killed, because when dawson was found he had scratch marks on his face. so arguably there is his skin under her fingernails and i think that's really going to be the roadmap for prosecutors to prove that he killed her. >> bill: unbelievable story here. they got married in february. the incident happened in july. her parents paid for the honeymoon. this is wicked stuff. we will stay on it and see where it leads us. brian, thanks for getting up early in l.a. we'll talk again, thanks. >> dana: waiting for a big hearing in florida today where a judge will consider releasing the affidavit behind the search of mar-a-lago as there are more and more calls for transparency.

i got tai last december. i've spent almost every minute with her since. when i first brought her home,

she was eating little brown pieces in a bag and it was just what kind of came recommended. i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active, high-quality poops. if i can invest in her health and be proactive, i think it's worth it. see the benefits of fresh food at betterforthem.com cbc announced a sweeping overhaul of the agency in response to its botched handling of the coronavirus pandemic. hillary vaughn has more from capitol hill. there is an interim report and we'll learn more next week. >> the cdc really openly admitting what a lot of americans have felt throughout the pandemic. their response to handling covid-19 was a failure. cdc director is calling for a

shake-up at the cdc. public guidance was confusing and overwhelming. changes are on the way including changes at the communications office, redesigning its website, hiring more staff with less turnover and requiring employees handling public health emergencies to be on staff for at least six months. some lawmakers aren't convinced this is the right fix. >> they say part of the road to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. i guess they now admit they have a problem. like so many things of the cdc, the left has misdiagnosed the problem and misapply the solution. >> cdc director may be on to something. public trust in the government is at historic lows. 2 in 10 americans say they trust the government to do what's right about all the time or most of the time. but it is not just the cdc that may very eroded trust in the american public. 52% of americans see big government as a major threat to the stability of the country.

under president biden government is getting bigger. the i.r.s. is massive expansion adding 87,000 new agents. average americans worried if auditors will be coming after them. >> a senator said why don't we have a rule that the extra 87,000 i.r.s. agents won't audit people with incomes below 400,000? every democrat voted against that amendment. >> interesting to see if hiring the new agencies and expanding the government if the biden administration will be able to win over americans skeptical that big government actually helps things. >> dana: the answer to every problem that they have is hire more people. i.r.s., they are hiring everybody but border patrol agents. hillary vaughn. thank you. >> bill: the new clothing line by the rapper kanye west getting major criticism. they are selling the clothes

out of bags and critics say he is mocking the homeless. this is kat timpf to talk about it. tie this all together here. eric shawn said it is not garbage bags but construction bags. >> do i want to go shopping and hum -- rummage through bags? this is kanye, he has different ideas that are different. i don't know why people bother with backlash when it comes to kanye. he doesn't care. this isn't the biggest deal. >> dana: he used to work at the gap. listen here. >> i just know i don't like hangers. back when i used to work at the gap i used to sit and have to fold and make everything super neat and i just felt like that gets really classist and pretentious and the whole point of why i came to the gap was to make egalitarian clothing.

>> dana: i like things nice and tidy. >> i'm less like that. he doesn't like hangers. everyone wants to turn it into something. typical rich people. you can never use kanye and typical in the same sentence. >> bill: mariah carey wants to trademark the phrase. i say go for it. that tree lighting thing is nothing without her. >> that's true. that song is one of only three christmas songs i like. i was reading more on this woman elizabeth chan with an album by that name. she quit herself to devote herself to writing christmas songs which i didn't know what as option, first of all. someone asked her what her job s it's christmas. people try to trademark things all the time. isn't that what people do when they build businesses? not shocked. >> dana: tried to trademark the

exclamation point. >> dana: i need to get on the trademark train. >> dana: the singer elizabeth chan christmas has come before any of us on earth and hopefully be around, no one person should hold onto anything around christmas or what mariah wants to do. christmas is meant to be shared, not owned. >> dana: she is a christmas expert. who quits their job to devote themselves to christmas full-time? >> dana: can you imagine only talking about christmas the whole year? >> it would not be for me. >> dana: you like the song. >> yes, i do. >> bill: i think a lot of people like it. >> it is impossible not to. >> bill: on the kanye thing fishing a $200 hoodie out of a garbage bag. see it if fits, folded neatly. >> dana: russian missiles

striking the northeastern ukraine city of kharkiv as residents slept. the shelling hitting a dormitory killing at least seven people and wounding at least 16 others including children. the attack on ukraine's second largest city after air strikes in the south. what is going on there, alex? >> dana, government leaders say it was the attack most tragic since the war began. a dozen are dead including children and right now rescue teams are moving through the rubble trying to collect the bodies and corpses of russia's latest attack. this one targeting a residential building but russian defense ministry claiming it is trying to target a temporary base of foreign mercenaries. ukrainian president zelenskyy is in hot water this week facing a lot of criticism for a recent interview where he revealed that his administration understood the

likelihood of the invasion but avoided sounding the alarm to prevent a mass panic. but there is community outrage of ukrainians who claim that access to this information would have saved countless lives. zelenskyy today is meeting with the president of turkey and the u.n. secretary general over the growing concerns of a nuclear catastrophe at the power plants, shelling on the site this week has not subsided. something i discussed with the u.n. refugee agency. >> this is a huge complication. within the unthan family and the government we've been doing contingency planning and we're looking at not just the safety of those working in the area but the safety of people that have made that part of ukraine their home. >> a diplomatic means to end the war will also take place in those discussions today as well as the continued effort to export grain from ukraine to the countries desperately in

need. >> dana: alex hogan, thank you. >> bill: there is a high stakes hearing on a bid to unseal the affidavit behind the raid on president trump's home. what we might learn, what the judge might do and could it help either side? we'll look into that. the push to put american history on the chopping block including how we talk about george washington is the father of our country in danger of being canceled? >> i want us to teach all of our history in virginia, the good and the bad. we have an extraordinary history, extraordinary history that in fact is the history not just of the commonwealth of virginia but of the country. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that is scientifically designed to help manage your blood sugar. live every moment. glucerna.

90% of profits go to out-of-state corporations, leaving almost nothing for the homeless. no real jobs are created here. but the promise between our state and our sovereign tribes would be broken forever. these out-of-state corporations don't care about california. but we do. stand with us.

>> dana: school starts next monday in fairfax county, virginia. a recent email alerting parents their kids may have to mask up. the memo states fairfax county public schools require all students to wear a face covering indoors except while actively eating or drinking on school property when the cdc covid-19 community level for fairfax county is high. this is mothers for american values education. i didn't think kids were going to have to wear masks when they

go back to school this fall. what do you think they're trying to say here? >> i think this is a big push for control and push and controlling parents. it is really sad that parents getting kids ready for school and get this notice, seeing the word required. that's a violation of glenn youngkin's executive order 2 that states it's the parents' right to opt out of mask usage. fairfax county schools decided to send out a memo saying well no, a parent can opt out but they have linked to regulation 2909 that stated that a parent would need to provide a doctor's note as well as a principal's signature to opt out. a lot of nonsense back and forth. really this is an issue where parents do have the right to make the decision regarding masks. the cdc just came out with new guidelines. >> dana: they just came out with new guidelines including the social distancing stuff.

l.o.l., fairfax schools guidance for the new year says they may require masks and acknowledges that by law they cannot. one sentence later. maybe they are confused. do you think this is coming from the union? >> i think this is coming from progressive school boards. in fairfax county school board is up for election in 2023. better believe that parents like myself are pushing for candidates who stand up for parental rights. we have to look at the learning implications of the masks. i'm the daughter of a speech pathologist and no firsthand full well all the work that goes into speech and language development. putting a mask on the kids is detrimental. if you look at numbers in fairfax county on the virginia department ofed waition website and see literacy rates are not good. kids with learning challenges

aren't able to read at grade level and brain development. kids have having frontal lobe issues with the usage of masks. >> dana: do you know any parent aside for someone who might want their kid to be masked if they have an immune compromised issue. do you know of any parent that would want to mask their kids this year? >> no, i don't. but the beauty of glenn youngkin's order and sb739 it is the parents' role to make that decision. my concern is for those parents who got the notice on monday saying masks are required during high community transmission rates. so many parents are afraid of being bullied by school boards and administrators. when glenn youngkin's order came out they were suspended and sent home from school for not wearing a mask. this is creating a movement of parents like myself, who are saying enough. we want our kids to go to school to simply learn, have a

normal childhood. be educated, not indoctrinated and live life freely and make the decisions health wise for themselves. >> dana: for kids that were suspended, would that be expunged from their record? >> i know that there are existing court cases right now regarding that. it's so sad. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: good luck, right? meanwhile the new jersey man arrested for attacking the author simon rushdie due in court today. he said he was surprised that rushdie survived. he is 24 and his name is matar and held without bail in part because prosecutors fear he could be awarded a bounty for the attack. iran offered $3 million to anyone who kills rushdie. we'll see him in court today in new jersey. >> dana: the taliban began its takeover of afghanistan a year

ago putting into motion the chaotic american withdrawal and that was just the beginning of the nightmare for u.s. citizens and afghan interpreter hammad. a year later i sat down with him. >> i would just keep praying oh god, make it easy for me to get my wife and my son. thankfully today i'm alive and living the american life.

a tangled web of bureaucracy. i asked them i am a u.s. citizen and i want to get my wife and son out of here. they were making excuses. at that time i realized nobody cared. that was the time when i found jen wilson. >> dana: one of his angels who helped the family find their way home last may. >> the first time when i landed and i saw the people. the way they say hi to you feel like they are part of the family. this is how america should be. everybody is very friendly, american people just come together and they are united and are like one person. this is what i love about america and this is what i'm here for, to be part of that people. >> dana: your son is 5 1/2 years old. what does he like america so far? >> he watch a lot of cartoons.

a big fan of sonic. even he is a big fan of blue color, of course he is very close to his dad, you know. >> dana: his son has a positive role model to follow. his dad has an optimistic outlook. >> america is one of the best countries and especially the people. the situation, what i went through, i did not lose my hope. >> dana: what is your american dream? >> i want to help everybody the way i struggled here. i want to help and bring their dreams to alive and to see my son in a stage where he can help other people. so life is all about to give others, not only to receive. >> dana: his son will start kindergarten. happy ending but they went through a lot. when they were in that refugee camp for 6 1/2 months we

followed their story nearly daily and we started to lose hope. but they didn't and so now they are in your home state of ohio and he loves it there. >> bill: he will be a buckeye, awesome. >> dana: jen wilson said bengals. >> bill: how is he doing and making money? >> dana: he works in i.t. and drove an uber in new york. right now he was able to pull together enough money to buy a suburban and he is driving. there is a little bit of an interesting story to that. dublin, ohio. one of the people he drives for is dave chappelle, a very funny man and a really good person and i thought that was quite an incredible end of the story of the american dream. >> bill: well done. great to meet him. >> dana: you will have a special conversation next week? >> bill: we went to charlesson, south carolina yesterday and met members of the u.s. air

force part of the last flight out of kabul and just to relive it with them one year later. they were part of a truly unique american story of the moment and they did the job they were asked to do and we'll share that with you next week. >> dana: wonderful to share. harris is up next. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. the centers for disease control is having a moment to embrace the truth and undergo a complete reorganization and they don't know how to handle a pandemic. we all knew it. we still know it. in year three of the coronavirus in our lives, the cdc has become somewhat of an illness in itself. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". dr. rochelle walensky is now describing the agency she leads as one that gave out confusing
