new york but it will be in nashville waiting on me. >> do you like this guy? it's his twin brother. >> we're identical twins. can you tell us apart? >> he is sweating and you are not. >> i didn't work hard enough. >> our friends from master built. >> dana: thank you. a fox news alert. federal judge pulling back the curtain on the mar-a-lago search giving the justice department until noon today to unseal the redacted criminal affidavit putting it in fuel public view. i'm dana perino. bill has the day off. good morning, trace. >> good morning. i'm trace gallagher, this is "america's newsroom." nice to be back in new york with you. >> dana: are you sure you're glad to be back in new york? >> glad to be back in new york. the news is perkling up. the mystery over the motive for the unprecedented f.b.i. search of trump's florida home could

soon be over but maybe not entirely. the judge says they haven't met the burden of showing why parts of the affidavit should not be disclosed. one republican congressman says he is not holding his breathe. >> it will be the most redacted thing in american history. we won't get answers until the republicans take the house back. we have the ability to ask the justice department the tough questions. >> good morning to you both. we're closely looking at the docket now in the southern district of florida. we know this affidavit is imminent and could happen at any time. noon is the deadline unless there is a last-minute appeal. we know we'll see the affidavit at some point over the next few hours. don't expect it to be the affidavit we want to see that has detail why the feds went into the home of the u.s. president. this affidavit would have that

detail in theory but the version we'll see includes department of justice redactions. the judge wrote yesterday in his order i find the government has met its burden of showing a compelling reason, good cause to seal portions of the affidavit because disclosure would reveal the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents and uncharged parties. the investigation strategy direction, scope, sources and methods and grand jury information protected by federal rule of criminal procedure. two weeks ago yesterday attorney general merrick garland announced he was okay with releasing the search warrant itself with limited information. the full affidavit would show what crimes federal prosecutors are eyeing. another deadline today in this case the trump team has to explain to another federal judge why a neutral third party arbiter called a special master is needed to look at how d.o.j. has been handling this evidence it recovered from mar-a-lago. the only legal action trump's

team has taken in this dispute and possible the feds have poured through the papers. when we see this affidavit for the first time. the first time the former president and his team will see the affidavit. he has called for a full release of this document unredacted but his legal team has not filed anything in court relating to the release of the affidavit. >> dana: all eyes on that. we'll talk to you a lot today. >> the white house defending president biden's student loan hand-out plan. to implement it the administration used a 2003 law helping military members forgive some $500 billion in college loans. critics say it's illegal. alexandria hoff live at the white house with more. >> good morning. we're talking about the heroes act which the department of justice said that it gives the administration the authority to reduce student debt during the time of a national emergency.

that being covid-19. when it came to a covid emergency and title 42 the administration argued it was no longer a factor. for student loans they say it is. >> the pandemic created a really tough situation for so many people. so to those people saying look, i didn't go to college, why are we doing this? what kind of help -- what are we investing in americans? >> in terms of how much taxpayers will have to reinvest white house press secretary claims only to have a rough estimate. one based on a few assumptions. >> assuming that 75% of folks who take this on, the president with the loan cancellation plan, and you look at the average monetary -- average cash flow on that, it is going to be about 24 billion per year. >> it's assuming that 25% of

those eligible would for some reason, perhaps pass on having their student debt reduced. that puts the price at $240 billion over 10 years according to that estimate. the actual cost could be 600 billion more than canceling savings under the recently passed inflation reduction act. >> president biden: historic deficit reduction. we can afford to cancel $10,000 in student debt and $20,000 if you are on a pell grant for tens of millions of americans making under $125,000. this is a game changer. >> there are some democrats who feel this does send the wrong message. notably ohio congressman tim ryan feels the administration

should look at tax reduction. >> we'll hear from one of those critics of president biden using the heroes act to cancel student debt when former congressman michael waltz joins us later this hour. >> dana: the cost of college tuition keeps going up. average entry level earnings potential is not. how much impact with president biden's student loan cancellation really have? madison is at nyu. good morning. >> there are concerns it won't have an impact. historically as you see loans increase, you see the cost of college increase going back to 1971, the average cost of a public school that was going to cost you $1,400 per year. today if you go to public schools we're talking $22,700. of course, you have to adjust for inflation in those 1971 dollars it would still be $10,000. we have seen green lights as

federal loans increase. the green light for these colleges to increase costs. you expect value to go up when costs go up but take a look at this. adjusted for inflation the average college graduate in the 70s were making around $69,000. that roughly is $10,000 more than the average graduate today. critics argue and point out that colleges have no financial incentive to insure their programs result in well-paying jobs that help pay off those loans. they get the money up front whether from the federal government or students themselves. the result rising tuition for the same, if not worse, product. >> hard working taxpayers who will be paying the bill for this. and just going to encourage university administrators to raise tuition higher and spend more money on needless jobs like schools with 160 different diversity coordinators. it will hurt so many americans. >> if nothing is done to

address college costs this one-time multi-billion dollar effort will be washed away in the same time it takes someone to accrue tens of thousands of dollars of debt for years. nyu behind me, it costs $74,000 for an education. >> dana: people are shaking their heads. he has girls in school and knows this. >> bombshell admission from big tech. zuckerberg revealing why facebook censored the hunter biden laptop story. details straight ahead. >> dana: a fentanyl crisis has cities across the country having vending machines to fight opioid overdoses. >> today marks one year since terrorists killed 13 u.s. service members at kabul. stay with us as we remember

these fallen heroes. >> i pray for all the kids that are out there and all the marines and all their families. this whole process was botched. if they had done it the right way and organized, you don't remove your troops from afghanistan and put more children back in there. than you get at a bank. 25% more cash to make home improvements. 25% more cash to pay bills. 25% more cash for retirement. call now and get an average of $60,000. veterans get more at newday usa. turn the equity in your home into cash.

wayne state's. dush dush >> the kid drops out and they go on their way.

>> greater more widespread access to narcan is a good thing. i'm not sure if it goes far enough. >> former d.a. deputy chief of staff says this harm reduction strategy is only a stopgap measure and more is needed to combat the opioid and fentanyl crisis. >> the ultimate goal can't be simply to keep people alive. you want people to be leading successful, fulfilling, healthy lives beyond their addiction. >> new york city public health officials have announced plans to open 10 vending machines offering those free lifesaving doses of narcan. sometime this year. >> trace: bryan, thank you. >> dana: for more on this the director of national drug control policy. it's great to have you. quickly on this. one of the reasons we need these vending machines is because of the number of deaths. ending in march of 2022, 73,473.

these numbers feel very shocking to me. i wonder how you describe and think about the scope and scale of this problem at this moment. >> thank you for having me, dana. first of all, i appreciate the importance and discussion around this because we're seeing americans die every five minutes around the clock. 3 out of 4 deaths happening because of opioid like fentanyl and it means 80,000 plus americans that are being killed. we have narcan is the antidote to opioid overdose we can save tens of thousands of lives and then we have to get folks into treatment. this is the first line of defense when we talk about overdosing person and across american unfortunately there are so many places even today where it is not easily accessible and barriers that we can remove and get into the business of saving lives, which is a top priority for president biden and for me.

>> dana: let me ask you about this. that measure having narcan is because of fentanyl here. you are asking china to join the united states in dealing with the opioid crisis saying this regime's decision will keeping it flowing into mexico. i want to ask you about that. what is china's reluctance and what did the president try to do in terms of getting them to the table to deal with this? or does china not want to deal with it? >> first of all, we've seen when china has worked with the united states as a global leader we've made progress. we're disappointed on really irresponsible of china to back out of this process, which hundreds of thousands of people across the world are dying. we have an american being lost, 300 people a day right here in the united states. so it is unacceptable to us that china, when we know what they can do to stop this

scourge from being shipped from their borders, the prc continues to not be engaged in this effort. we would like them to come to the table but because it's a top priority that we continue to work with all nations across the globe. this problem is one in the united states but very quickly spreading as a global security threat. >> dana: let me show you some of these fentanyl seizures from the southern border this year. to date in 2022, 10,000 pounds, in 2021 it was for the full year was 10,000 pounds. so you have a situation at the southern border in particular, we see this a lot. how many fentanyl pills are coming across the border. do you talk to president biden about your concerns about the policies there not being able to stop fentanyl from coming into this country? >> let me first talk about the seizures themselves. we are having record amount of seizures at the border. double the amount in 2020 and four times that in 2019.

i think it goes back to the heroic and brave efforts of the women and men in uniform as custom border protection. they need more resources to do their jobs. the amount that we're seizing historic levels is the amount of fentanyl not going into our communities and killing americans. second, the tens of billions of profits, we're stopping the profits from going back to the bad guys that cause more violence, corruption and crime in so many fragile democracies. >> dana: we have a situation where governor greg abbott is trying to figure out a way to keep the immigration -- illegal immigrants from crossing over and it's impossible. he is trying so much. at the same time the drugs are coming over as well. i think for all of the parents that we've had on here so upset that one pill can kill yet all the pills are coming across the border. we see it every day. it does not feel to me -- you tell me, maybe i'm wrong. perhaps you talk about it all

the time. but it doesn't feel like there is a sense of urgency to figure out a way to stop these pills from coming over the southern border. i'll give you the final word, sir. >> that is absolutely correct that the president believes this is a top urgent priority and why he is proposing a budget that historic increases in funding for custom and border protection in order to get them the resources, the technology and infrastructure to do their job even better. i will tell you it doesn't start or end at the border. we have to make sure we get people the help they need but being strong on the border as well. that's exactly what this administration is doing. >> dana: thank you for coming on. we'll stay in touch with you. an important issue for everybody. >> thank you. >> trace: one of the world's greatest tennis player novak djokovic will skip this u.s. open because of a vaccine mandate. why critics say a double standard is at play. new data just out on inflation

affirm that restarting pause loan repayments at around the same time as we provide targeted debt relief will not have any meaningful effect on inflation. >> dana: then there is this from jim kessler, executive vice president for policy at third way, a democrat firm. he says the plan is fiscally reckless, unjustified on policy grounds, likely unconstitutional, politically fraught. the money team is here. let's get your take. austan, start with you. >> well dana, the first thing i would point out on the inflation. where are we on inflation? the 6% number that you cite is for the year. good news is the last two months we've actually had deflation. inflation headline was less than it was zero last month and was negative 1/10 of a% for this month. so as the economy is curing its supply chain problems hopefully we'll get more relief. on the issue of student debt

relief, i think that this is a mostly small impact on inflation. i think that this, like the money that donald trump gave to farmers to overcome the problems from the trade war that he had created, or like the big tax cut for corporations and high-income people, most of this is just about windfall transfers of income. it is not affecting people. >> dana: i assume, steve, you see it a different way. >> inflation numbers austan is right. we've seen some relief from inflation over the last two months. that's the good news driven by lower gas prices mostly. we're still paying a lot, $4 a gallon or so at the pump. i'm worried about what has happened. look at the natural gas price. it tripled since trump left office. you will have a big problem, i

think, going forward this fall and winter with people's electric utility bills. home heating bills. giant increases are coming. so i don't think we're out of the woods at all on inflation right now. the other thing that is going on in the economy right now is that you are just seeing a slowdown in activity. manufacturing numbers were poor. housing numbers were poor. the small business numbers were poor. i am just worried about we're in the soft recession where the economy isn't growing. and if you want to bring tuition rates down, which we all do. that's one of the driving forces of inflation over the last 30 years, how is letting people off the hook for paying their loans helping the problem? it will just encourage universities to raise prices. i think universities should be held accountable for all the debt out there and they should be on the hook for this unpaid debt, not the taxpayer. >> dana: can i get your take on

another issue in the market which is housing prices decline at .77% from june and july. the first monthly decline in nearly three years. interest rates have gone to 5.5%. austan, what do you think about housing? >> dana, you raise a critically important issue that when the fed starts raising rates to cool the economy, as it is doing now, absolutely the tip of the spear where the rubber hits the road will be the housing market because it's so dependent on the interest rate. i think that's mostly what we're seeing is that weakness. that weakness probably going to continue because the fed is probably going to keep raising rates. >> that's a big problem for the economy. housing really over the last number of years has been driving the growth that we've had, slow as it is. and the last thing i want to see is anything like what happened in 2008. remember when the economy crashed. i don't think we're there. when you have rising interest rates and you have slower new

home sales, that's going to be tough times may be ahead. >> dana: 2008. let's not repeat that. steve and austan thank you. have a great weekend. appreciate it. >> trace: shocking claims against a major children's hospital. children's national hospital in washington, d.c. accused of performing gender-affirming surgeries on patients under the age of 18. that includes, by the way, hysterectomies. >> children's national hospital in the nation's capital offered gender reassignment surgery for children between the ages of 0 and 31. a social worker at the hospital who said hysterectomies have been performed on children younger than acknowledge 16. it reflects a call with hospital operators, not anyone who delivers care for our patients. in a statement the children's

national spokesman says the hospital does not perform any gender reassignment surgery to children and don't provide hormone therapy to children before puberty begins and involves families making decision with trained pediatric specialist. the spokesman said it was a flaw in the design of the website. >> trace: lucas, thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: tennis star novak djokovic withdrawing from the u.s. open ending the volley between him and the u.s. government over his vaccination status. the u.s. open will be the fourth major tournament djokovic has missed this year because he is not vaccinated. he tweeted yesterday sadly i will not be able to travel to new york this time for the u.s. open. good luck to my fellow players and i will keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an opportunity to compete

again. a very gracious comment from him especially when i don't know if you saw peter doocy earlier on fox and friends showed the dnc party. there is no covid restrictions. apparently there is no covid emergency at the border. it is really maddening they couldn't figure out a way to allow him to come and play. >> trace: now we know the vaccine doesn't stop you from getting it or spreading it. it may stop you from serious illness but that's on novak djokovic. >> dana: i'm sure he will be able to play another time. that's unfortunate. >> now you are seeing al qaeda is back, half the world's terrorist organizations exist in that part of the world. and they are determined, as the intelligence is telling us, to attack america again. >> trace: the threat from terror groups on the rise a year after 13 u.s. service members were killed in the suicide bombing at kabul airport. will anyone be held responsible

on joe rogan's podcast we have more. susan, what are they saying >> three hours on the joe rogan podcast yesterday he said facebook reduced the sharing of the hunter biden laptop story after the company was warned by national intelligence. >> the f.b.i. basically came to us, some folks on our team and said hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert.

we thought there was a lot of russian propaganda in the 2016 election. we have it on notice that basically there is about to be some kind of dump of similar to that so be vigilant. >> he says he views the f.b.i. as a legitimate institution and unlike twitter, which banned the story completely, facebook still allowed limited access to it. >> it sucks. because it turned out after the fact, the fact checkers looked into it no one was able to say it was false. it sucks in the same way that probably having to go through a criminal trial but being proven innocent in the end sucks. >> facebook sent a statement to fox saying it is not a new revelation. mark and director wray have both testified about this. he testified in front of congress back in 2020 admitting the f.b.i. did warn facebook on the hunter biden story.

gop leadership including mccarthy weighing in saying the f.b.i. colluded with big tech to science news stories weeks before the 2020 election to control access to your information. they have been intentionally ignoring the facts. republicans are back in charge we'll hold all of them accountable. dana, like zuckerberg told you in the interview. content moderation for 3 billion users is a tough job. >> dana: susan lee, thank you for that story and we'll have pete hegseth on it as well in the next hour. >> trace: we're hearing about an explosion that has taken place at the airport in kabul. >> when you prioritize withdrawal over the achievement of any kind of noble aim in war, this is what you get and what surrender is. >> it is extremely will. it manifests itself here in the last few hours with an actual attack. we believe it is their desire to continue those attacks. >> we'll hunt you down and make

you pay. >> a somber day for america one year ago today islamic state terrorist detonated a suicide bomb at the abby gate at the airport in kabul. 13 u.s. service members and 170 afghans were killed in that attack. house armed services committee member and former green beret commander michael waltz joins us now. great to have you on, congressman. also at the time, you had general mckenzie saying the loss of those 13 americans weighs heavily. you wonder a year later if that's true. so far nobody has taken responsibility and nobody has been held accountable. i know you are passionate about this. your thoughts on that. >> trace, my 26 years in the army, i've dealt, sadly, with a number of gold star families, including the green berets that i lost in combat. and there is a deep just soul-wrenching level of grief there but i have never in

dealing with these 13 gold star families, seen this level of rage. they are phenomenally angry and they are angry specifically at president joe biden. i think it comes down to three things. one, they have a number of rightful questions that haven't been asked about bagram air base, the fact the suicide bomber was let out of prison at bagram air base just a few weeks prior to the suicide bombing. and a number of other questions pertaining to the total lack of planning as was evident by this debacle of a withdrawal. that's one of the questions that haven't been answered. as you pointed out also the zero accountability. not one official, not one military officer has been relieved, resigned, or been fired. then i think the thing that just put these gold star families over the edge is to see the commander-in-chief, to see joe biden standing before

the nation and the world and saying this was an outstanding success. nothing went wrong. and again to not be answering their questions is just a slap in the face many of them feel. then you've seen the interviews with them where they are saying that in dealing with the president, he was talking about his son rather than their loved one. and then, of course, the famous and infamous incident looking at his watch during the transfer at dover. >> trace: and hunting them down. so far nobody has been hunted down. when the cameras left everybody forgot because life under the taliban, congressman, is horrific. i want to put this number up, the stats on the afghans left behind. 96% for visa applicants. the service members, you know, the people who helped us so desperately during the first years in afghanistan have for the most part been left behind, which really is a tragedy in itself. your final thoughts.

>> well, trace, we've seen a double digit call-in to the veteran suicide hotline. thank you to all of the veterans groups like save our allies, task force pineapple and others the stepped up to do what their government should have been doing. trace, final thought. where is the white house commemoration today? where are the words from the president about these not only 13kia but all of the wounded, dozens that lost their limbs and forever have had their lives changed. i see nothing on the white house calendar today to pay home acknowledge to this final sacrifice in afghanistan and sadly i think there will be more in the future because terrorism is going to come roaring back. >> trace: we have done great reporting on this and you're right. some of the stats fit hand and glove what we've been finding out actually happening on the ground over there. thank you for your time as always. >> thanks, trace.

>> trace: last year we spoke to a man named carl who was there and witnessed the horror at abby gate. he will join us next hour. extremely important to hear that. >> dana: fox getting a closer look at the migrant crisis in an exclusive one-on-one with the border patrol chief. what he says about overwhelmed agents trying to contain the constant flow of migrants. royal hypocrisy alert. climate change critics prince harry, what he is accused of doing before a polo match this week. now's the time to turn it into an average of $60,000 cash with the newday 100 loan. and because it lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value you get 25% more cash than you would get at other lenders. no one knows veterans like newday usa. people with plaque psoriasis,

or psoriatic arthritis, are rethinking the choices they make. like the splash they create. the way they exaggerate. or the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, you can achieve clearer skin with otezla. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla can cause serious allergic reactions. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

they said it couldn't be done. because the big drug companies have billions of dollars and an army of lobbyists. but aarp has never run from a tough fight. they stood with their 38 million members and said, "enough." enough of the highest prescription drug prices in the world. together, we forced the big drug companies to lower prices and save americans money. we won this fight, but big pharma won't stop. so neither will aarp.

if left untreated can kill a dog within two to three days of symptoms showing up. so far in northern michigan as many as 60 dogs have died after developing the systems. it's an alarming number. state officials and veterinarians are telling people not to panic. the virus is actually fairly common so most clinics and shelters have rapid tests for it. the problem in many of these recent cases is that those initial tests came back negative and most, if not all of the dogs who died, were not fully vaccinated against it. >> i don't want people to panic because it seems like dogs that are well vaccinated are pretty protected. that being said i think it is really important that people try to keep their pets away from areas where there have been a lot of other dogs. probably keep them home. >> no specific breed is being affected more than others. young pups especially those under four months who aren't

she is a type a personality. you see what he did there? he said the science is settled. all right, whatever on that part. then he said but what to do about it is settled. it isn't. that's the whole thing. the people who are against the actions that these big global climate people are taking, they are not against the science. they are against their actions. he said at least said it. >> trace: it is not the disease but the remedy that everybody disagrees on. i have to go forward. i live in california and the water thing is classic. you have celebrities again and overusing water. put this up on the screen. this is unbelievable. dwyane wade 489,000 gallons is how much over the limit he was. kardashian, 222,000. sylvester sal own 230,000 and single he can use a little extra water. amazing. >> trace: kardashian only at

100,000. a conservation artist. dwyane wade is tall. i think they may have a lot of women in the house. my theory, look. i know it may be controversial. women take longer showers. i did an unscientific in my home. my shower, 60 seconds. the women in my home 20 times that. >> trace: we have three as well. i think tom is right. >> dana: science is settled in your house on that? >> absolutely. >> dana: does it make you mad, trace, when you see somebody living in l.a. >> it is severe. the whole thing is you talk about climate and people are saying in 100 years. the water, you can see lakes and reservoirs are drying up. lake powell and mead are drying up. it is heartbreaking to see. it is a real thing when people say we have to save water and then to have some people do 489,000 gallons over your allocation.

come on. >> celebrity pools. no one is in the pool. at least if somebody was doing laps in the pool. they are having cocktails next to a pool. use the pool. >> dana: absolutely. thanks for your help on the gutfeld show last night. great. it was a great time. i'm surprised i'm not fired. thank you. the head of homeland security mostly avoiding the press during yesterday's visit to the southern border. fox news got an exclusive one-on-one with the chief of the u.s. border patrol facing a rising tide of drugs and immigrants crossing the board. "america's newsroom." >> trace: good morning. i'm trace gallagher. border patrol chief says the immediate focus right now is getting resources to process migrants, which takes agents out of the field where they are most needed. that gives smugglers greater opportunity to bring their poison into the country killing tens of thousands of americans.

the border patrol reporting major seizures of fentanyl on a daily basis. and there is a lot more that gets through. chief ortiz telling fox it's an ongoing battle. >> this continues to be an area where we'll focus on and take the fight to the criminal organizations as much as we possibly can. >> dana: casey stiegel is live in eagle pass, texas. the cartels are getting much more creative to exploit this crisis as it keeps evolving. what did you learn? >> dana and trace good morning. they are. that could be an understatement. when you thought you had seen just about every trick in the book, take a look at this. something that -- someone was using hollowed out crutches filled with 14,000 fent until

pills. when i spoke to the border patrol chief he told me the western flank of the southern border is where more drugs are smuggled in because it is much more remote than texas. he says that's a major factor in why such large numbers of migrants are crossing here in the lone star state and sometimes with deadly consequences. chief ortiz says more than 700 migrant deaths have been recorded for this fiscal year versus about 415 for this time last year at the border. and he says the focus is now better preparing for the influx by allocating resources and hiring more staff. >> economic conditions, health conditions in some of those countries aren't the same as we're experiencing in the u.s. so we have to do and prepare ourselves for this influx or this continued migration pattern we're seeing now. i do not perceive this will change any time soon. >> not changing any time soon.

he was with the dhs secretary mayorkas who traveled to eagle pass meeting with front line workers yesterday. no events open to the press. however, chief ortiz tells me that he and secretary mayorkas spent a great deal of time talking about where most resources are needed and how to get them here fast. no talk of when this will end. >> dana: i'm sitting baffled a little bit that they go on all these trips and don't do any press when they said they were going to do all these things and we have a right to hear from our leaders on that. i know thank you for the interview with the border patrol chief. thanks. >> trace: experts say president biden's student loan hand-out will hurt the fight against rising inflation. nonpartisan group says any money saved from the so-called inflation reduction act will go toward paying off millions of student loans. hillary vaughn is live at the white house with more on this. what are we looking at cost-wise here? >> that is the burning question

that biden administration officials have left unanswered. they will not say how much this will cost out loud. >> how much does this cost? >> you know, depending how many people take advantage of it. >> what's the range of possibilities? >> like i said, those projections are still coming out. >> the committee for a responsible federal budget has no problem calculating the cost estimating it will cost taxpayers half a trillion dollars. the group writing this. the changes announced will likely cost more than double the amount saved through the recently passed inflation reduction act completely eliminating any disinflationary benefit from the bill. the inflation reduction act was supposed to help address historically high inflation. now the administration says the deficit reduction in that is helping pay for this.

but former obama economist burrman says the math does not add up. pouring gas on the inflationary fire is dangerous. all proposals paid for is even worse when they say that. >> if you don't know how much it is going to cost, how can you guarantee it will be paid for? >> look, i think what i can tell you is this. we have done the work to make sure that this is done in a fiscal responsible way and we'll know more once people take us up on it and get a sense if they will. >> trace, the white house also dodged questions. what happens when the student debt inevitably goes right back up? will they pay off more loans? they may be facing that question sooner than you think.

some estimates say student loan debt will rise to the level it is now in just five years. >> trace: hillary, thank you. >> dana: meanwhile colleges stand to gain in a major way from president biden's hand out. "wall street journal" says colleges love loan forgiveness. mr. biden's plan will encourage is students to the take out more loans and colleges to increase tuition. one of the frustrating things about this policy, there are a lot of them. there is nothing to address the root cause of it. nothing to address the tuition issue. >> student loans are the root cause of rising tuition. first of all you have millions of people now who paid full boat for college saying do i get a refund? where is my rebate? i'll take 10 grand. they won't say how they pay for it. it is funny money. it is inflationary and projections are still coming out. it's like the check is in the

mail. we know exactly what colleges are going to do. they will raise tuition by $10,000 and they've done it forever and ever. if you look from 1977 to this year, college tuition has gone up by 6.5% a year versus cpi, 3 1/2%. every time there is more student loans, they raise prices, they give some rebates in terms of scholarships but everyone pays more. >> trace: is it your take colleges need to have more skin in the game? they are benefiting and be held more accountable for student outcomes. maybe that's a way to look at it. >> if they were training the next generation of engineers and scientists, we probably wouldn't be complaining. we don't need any more gender study students and french literature. we have too many of those. many of those are the ones paying off a lot of these loans. perhaps as you said if colleges had some skin in the game and if someone doesn't graduate, right, the college eats the thing or they take it out of

perhaps student's future earnings. there are ways to do it. to make taxpayers pay for what is a broken collegiate system. >> dana: it is frustrating. the other thing happening we're headed to the mid-terms in 2022. 2024 is on a lot of people's minds. possibly the governor of california and florida. newsom decided to put this tweet out yesterday. time to make ron desantis a one-term governor. i am pledging $100,000 to charlie crist. one more thing. a newsom campaign ad. call for number three. >> republican leaders are banning books, making it harder to vote. restricting speech in classrooms and criminalizing women and doctors. i urge all of you living in florida to join the fight or join us in california where we still believe in freedom. >> dana: what do you think?

>> well first of all, 100 grand is cheap in terms of getting national attention. cheaper than ads or anything else. the guy loves to be in the news except if it's at the french laundry dinner with lobbyists, right? why he is meddling in florida is beyond me. california is a mess. we have the highest taxes, highest energy costs, they've taken away our toilets that actually flush. grocery bags, plastic straws and yesterday they took away our gas-powered cars in 2035 let alone the homeless population. i was just in san francisco. spend a little time in california. >> trace: you left out the highest housing prices and homeless crisis. freedom is in short supply in california these guys. newsom, $100,000. name recognition.

he is at 2% in the polls. desantis is 25, 30%. is it effective going down the road? >> we'll see. look, california is a safe democratic state. there are more democrats than republicans by 2 to 1 in california. florida it's kind of a toss-up. it is a swing state. it may play to his california voters. i don't think it plays nationally. you think the french laundry don't play in ohio. >> dana: thank you for being here. i'll let them commiserate about california. biden administration accused of playing politics. what the white house is doing as the mid-terms get closer. >> trace: president biden giving college students a free ride with the student loan hand out even as others worked hard to pay their loans back. one woman tells us about her struggle. that's next. >> why can't we educate our young? why can't we foot that bill?

i think most americans believe that helping in some way, shape or form is the right thing to do. the newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value and take out up to $60,000 or more. give them a call. veteran homeowners, home values are going through the roof, and so is home equity. unlock your equity and turn it into an average of $60,000 cash with the newday 100 loan. make home improvements, pay big bills, put it in the bank for security today or retirement tomorrow. rates are still low but starting to rise. so call now. you get more at newday usa.

>> trace: the man who helped make going back to school in the 80s and 90s easier has passed away. crutchfield created the trapper

keeper, the colorful three-ring binder that organizes folders. meade introduced it in 1981. by the end of the decade it was half of all u.s. middle school students had one. crutchfield was 85 and he died on sunday at a hospice center in georgia from bone cancer. i was among them. >> dana: absolutely. >> trace: everybody had them. >> dana: incredible invention that really is iconic for our generation. they still have them. incredible businessman as well. what an invention. we loved it. when you see the five's labor day special you will hear more about this back to school. may he rest in peace. the biden administration's energy policies are under fire. critics are calling the move

hypocritical. aishah hosni has more. >> we've been watching this white house take the victory lap over falling gas prices. now fox has obtained this very concerned letter sent by energy secretary granholm to major u.s. refiners calling on them to limit exports to shore up their domestic supplies. in that letter, which has not been made public by the administration, granholm writes this. given the historic level of u.s. refined product exports i urge you to focus on building inventories in the united states rather than selling down current stocks and further increasing exports. secretary citing hurricane season. critics aren't so sure. oil and gas experts warn this move could raise global oil prices and more immediately it would hurt our european allies as energy bills for u.k. households are about to

skyrocket by 80%. >> i understand there is an election coming three months from now and understand they don't want shortfalls and want to keep prices down. reality is it's hyper critical to saying to our european allies saying we'll help them because of the russians sanctions and back out at the time they need us the most. >> senator barrasso is also weighing in. he told me america is stronger as a nation when we are selling energy to our friends, not buying it from our enemies. he goes on to say we have plenty of american energy in the ground to both power our nation and help our allies. democrats are blocking american energy workers from producing it here. now we have reached out to the white house. haven't gotten a response yet. >> dana: imagine that. there is never a response. very frustrating. thank you, aishah. >> people who pay their student

loans or chose not to take out loans. >> is it fair for people who do not own multi-billion dollar businesses to see one of them guys get tax breaks? is that fair? what do you think? >> trace: president biden defending his student loan forgiveness plans. our next guest and her husband were forced to make lifestyle changes to pay off their loans. you see the president didn't answer the question right there. if it's fair he went off on some billionaire thing. you struggle to pay off your loans, i did, a lot of others did. do you feel swindled at this point in time? >> yes, trace. thanks for having me this morning. i do feel swindled. the perfect vocabulary. we put a lot of life events on hold. moving into a forever home,

starting a family. we both worked more than one job at one point just to pay off this liability on our books. it was hanging over our head and we did whatever we could to just remove it and i feel as though even during the cold period we didn't consider not making payments. it wasn't an option. >> trace: it is amazing to me because the administration is blaming the pandemic. peter doocy talked to the education secretary about this. i want to play this sound bite and get your reaction on the other side. >> how is it fair to people that already put in the payments and paid off their debt over time now to watch others that followed see the payments either canceled or extended again? >> i hear you. to those saying it is not fair, look. the aim of this is really to address the effects of the pandemic. it's my responsibility to make sure people aren't coming out of the pandemic worse off than

they were before the pandemic. >> trace: that's a stretch. what do you think about that? >> yes. everyone knows at this point it is an employee's market. it is hard for the employer to find someone to stay at the workforce. everyone is jumping around. i work in public accounting and spread so thin right now because our employees can find private industry or other public accounting firms paying more right off the bat. it is an employee's market. the pandemic is no longer an excuse. >> trace: we played a tease going into the break. we're a rich nation and we can afford to split the bill. what would you say to that person? >> whoever said that lives under a rock at this point. let's be serious. there is no such thing as canceling debt. we all understand that. we should understand that. it is a basic macroeconomic concept. you don't cancel debt, you transfer it. the inflation is going to worsen at a rapid pace at this point. >> trace: i wonder lastly it

starts with student loan debt. where does it end? this is the pandemic and you couldn't pay this and where does it end and who gets swindled in the wrong run here? >> right, exactly. it is us ultimately. who is to say someone's mortgage is less important than a college education? in the grand scheme of things you can argue. >> trace: fair enough. thank you for coming on. we appreciate your time. >> thanks so much for having me. it was great. >> dana: clock is ticking for the d.o.j. to release its redacted version of the trump raid affidavit. how much will the government allow the american people to see? we'll speak with an afghan translator on the ground during the deadly suicide attack at kabul one year ago today. 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more you're not the only one with questions about botox®.

washington with more. what is the relief plan? >> trace, it is being rolled out here. good morning. so much of the focus this week has been on the politics of the president's plan itself. now comes the hard part for the department of education as they try to clear up some of the confusion whether it's here on college campuses for people who have had loans for a long time trying to explain who will be qualifying for debt relief and who is not. the government and the white house is pointing people to one website in particular that student aid.gov but when you go to that website now there is only basic information available on the page and it is promising more information is going to be coming. there have been reports, though, this website has had issues this week. probably everybody trying to go on there. the application for this debt relief is not ready yet. the government is telling people interested to sign up for an email alert to be notified when more details are ready. they are promising to get more information out by the end of this year. details we do have spell out both from the white house and

the website saying americans can expect to see between $10,000 and $20,000 of student loan relief depending on income and the type of loan you took out. loan advisors say nobody should expect to see relief by next week. >> this is a huge endeavor. people shouldn't expect the forgiveness happen tomorrow. it will be months before we see everybody who is eligible get it. i've been trying to counsel patients. >> while this announcement was made a few days ago we hear reports of scammers targeting people that may think they can get relief faster and get a check sent to them. the application for this debt relief is not even available yet. be careful if anybody is offering to help you cut the line. >> trace: mark meredith live in d.c. thank you. >> dana: parents are fighting back refusing to enroll kids in schools that go woke. where they are sending them

instead. plus the truth is out there and congress wants some answers about ufos and where they come from. >> because they pose potential fight safety and drone security risks we're committed to an effort to determine their origins.

for decades, i've worked at the intersection of domestic violence and homelessness. so when prop 27 promised solutions to homelessness, i took a good, hard look. it's not a solution. 90% of the money goes to the out-of-state corporations who wrote it. very little is left for the homeless. don't let corporations exploit homelessness to pad their profits. vote no on 27.

>> trace: a virginia man is allowed to roam home free. he is now accused of sexually assaulting a woman at night point if her apartment and police are looking for anything else he has been up to. >> we're looking again to connect him to any other crimes unsolved, unreported. we're not done with him yet. he is off the street. that's the good news. >> police chief saying everyone should be asking why this guy was free and able to do this in the first place. >> dana: months after congress finally admitted that ufos may exist a senate bill warns unidentified flying objects are a national security risk. >> buried in the senate intelligence authorization bill lies the following sentence.

cross domain trans medium threats to national security are expanding exponentially. now that may make your eyes glaze over but what if i told you it means lawmakers are worried about growing threats from ufos? congress is recognizing that uaps that they may exist. >> they are responding to classified data. the unclassified data that we had all seen includes images that are very convincing. and i won't expect such a bill to be authorized unless there was much more convincing evidence. which i'm sure there is. >> lawmakers accuse the military of lacking transparency on the issue. the legislative language means congress is getting serious about compelling the pentagon to probe ufo sightings. >> when we spot something we don't understand or can't identify in our airspace it is the job of those we entrust

with national security to investigate and report back. >> that concern was on display at a landmark house hearing on ufos in may. >> it would have to be officially brought. >> i'm bringing it. >> we'll take a look at it. probably a lot of leads. we don't have resources to do that right now. >> the truth may be out there but you can't find it without first decoding the other worldly legislative bill text from congress. dana. >> dana: why we have you and we are grateful for it. thank you. >> trace: more parents are seeking faith-based education as they continue to fight against woke curriculum in the classroom. fox news contributor and theologian jonathan morris joins us now. great to sigh. my girl's catholic school would be up 50% if they could let the kids in. waiting list goes on forever.

that's the problem. these catholic schools, everybody wants in and they can only take so many kids. >> that hasn't always been the case especially in urban areas like other big cities. a lot of catholic schools are serving the under privileged economically. what happened during the pandemic is the teachers union was unmasked and parents started realizing that they were always choosing the good of the union over the students. and politicians from the top all the way down to local level over and over again were siding with the union. better to be careful, better to be careful. but what about the kids? and so they have been unmasked. one of the two big reasons. i'll get into the other one in a minute. the other part is we've also seen that these public schools and also some of the private schools, especially the

non-religious ones have gone down this road of wokeness and i had a friend here in new york telling me they actually had a department in his children's private school to respond with a political statement about whatever is happening in the news. they felt like they needed to weigh in on what was going on in the news. their primary job is to educate the children, not to indoctrinate them, parents or society. >> trace: you should never know what political affiliation your teacher is. >> dana: can catholic schools keep up with demand? >> if you're not sending your kids to a catholic school and private school you are still paying the government for public school, right? the teachers unions are getting all your money. at the core here is the decision of the united states

of america going to have to make do we care more about propping up the teacher's union and public school system failing for 30 or 40 years, or will we allow people to send their kids to school with their own money, either you don't pay that extra money or else they give you a voucher and some other way to choose where your children are going to be educated. >> dana: are there enough catholic school teachers and buildings and administrator. >> there will be if the money is there. that's the crux of it. catholic schools are struggling financially because of an unjust system in which they are not getting a penny of government spending on education and they are being -- the parents are being forced to pay twice. public and private. >> trace: we talk about pandemic and the mandates and schools and teachers unions and the fact the schools have gone woke. a school of thought that says the public schools continue to

lower standards. they lower standards. testing scores are low, they get rid of a test. lowering standards with the hope expectations and performance will rise. it doesn't work. >> strangely enough. the more money spent in the public education system, the lower the numbers of actual results go. so it is this weird thing. you would think give more money and this is always the argument so we can get our test scores up. the more money spent, the lower the scores are. >> dana: right. well, i know a lot of people have benefited from catholic school. thank you for the insight and we'll keep an eye on this as parents go to vote in the mid-terms education is on their minds. thank you. mark zuckerberg admitting facebook was wrong to censor the hunter biden laptop story? is it too little too late? ♪♪

super sensitive about anything said about his son. >> i think the white house is concerned about it. i don't think white house press pool. >> dana: i don't understand it. this is the story of a lifetime. the media ignored it. >> one reporter at one other outlet goes down the rabbit trail and maybe it's that they won't get a pulitzer because it is headed in the wrong direction. what's ultimately the institutional incentives for that reporter to do that? >> trace: isn't the suppression of the story itself a huge story in itself? postmortem you think news organizations would say forget the story, just the concept it was suppressed by the social media things and the f.b.i. was involved. >> it would be an admission that critiques around election integrity can cut both ways which they don't want to have that conversation at all. they want to stick on one side

of that. >> dana: chuck grassley, the senator said this. it was unnecessary and only done because of pressure from our democratic colleagues including democratic leadership to falsely attack the biden investigation. the unnecessary f.b.i. briefing provided the democrats a a vehicle that it advanced russian information. >> that government briefings. they used the intel they had to tell them what to suppress. how terrifying is that? >> dana: you have a possible whistleblower that came forward this week and said we were told at the f.b.i. not to look into the hunter laptop story. more to come on that for shooufrment great to have you. stick around. this is before we go. we have a question for you. national dog day. that means extra kisses for dogs i guess. a fun fact. new study says dogs in new york and california have the freshest breath out of all 50

states. pet owners in these states brush their dog's teeth regularly. you guys know there has been henry, jasper, percy. i don't brush their teeth. do you? i know you recently lost your puppy. >> before that we did not brush his teeth. we recently had to put him down. >> dana: we found out pete has cats. "the faulkner focus" is next. gillian turner is in for harris. have a great weekend. >> thank you. to a fox news alert now. deadline fast approaching for the justice department to release the redacted version of the affidavit justifying the raid on mar-a-lago. they have an hour to unseal it and lift the veil on the search of president trump's florida estate. this is "the faulkner focus". the affidavit is pektsed any moment. the judge ordered its release after approving the
