>> brian: i usually sit there. isn't it a crater, and is in it so much higher up here? >> this is much better. >> brian: i shouldn't have to deal with it. >> he sits there five days a week and he's blaming it on the heat! >> so little time.3 >> dana: good morning, i'm dana perino. bill has some time off. good morning, trace. >> trace: i'm trace gallagher and this is "america's newsroom." the white house claiming migrants are not allowed to simply walk across the border unchecked but boy, the pictures tell a much different story. >> dana: the surge of migrants, many unvaccinated, clashing with the requirement that all foreign travelers to the united states be vaccinated.
6:00 am
6:01 am
6:02 am
yesterday, griff. >> well, it certainly blew up my text messages from border patrol agents actively on duty. dana and trace good morning. the only possible explanation that i can say would lead jean-pierre to make such a statement divorced from facts is this is what happens when officials in charge refuse to visit the border to see what's actually happening firsthand. despite our cameras continuously showing thousands upon thousands of migrants pouring across our border month after month, many of them unvaccinated, some by the way also currently sick with covid, border patrol council president brandon judd had this reaction this morning. watch. >> she does know it. i watch these people walk across the border every single day. we see it. it is disgusting what we're seeing and she knows exactly what's happening but she is deflecting and lying. >> the white house is being taken to task in spite of novak
6:03 am
djokovic not being allowed into the country because of being unvaccinated. a major and rare admission from the current border patrol chief saying in a florida deposition the unprecedented crisis at our border is the result of the biden administration's policies which lack consequences for those who illegally cross. >> in my experience we've seen increased when there are no consequences. >> ortiz admitting he expects the situation to only get worse. this as texas governor abbott continues to deal with the crisis on his border busing more migrants to cities like new york and washington, d.c. the latest numbers over 1800 migrants on over 35 buses to the big apple. 6400 migrants on 180 buses to the nation's capital. ortiz admission is a contrast. dhs secretary mayorkas last month claimed the border is secure. now, that is certainly not the case. let me just break a few fax
6:04 am
they they don't want the people to know. the danger to migrants. there is currently 716 migrant deaths this fiscal year far outpacing anything we've ever seen in the past. the number of current illegal crossing migrant encounters is 2,60,000 and the year isn't yet over. >> dana: griff, thank you for that report. >> trace: top f.b.i. agent resigned after allegations he helped shield hunter biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings coming as republican senators press facebook for answers or burying the hunter scandal before the election. kelly oh gladey -- o'grady is live with more. >> the scrutiny of the f.b.i.
6:05 am
continues. tim it comes as the former f.b.i. agent has the subject of whistle blower accusations alleging political buy as on the hunter biden case. chuck grassley sent numerous letters to director wray and attorney general garland highlighting tebow did not follow guidelines to open and investigation. more pressure comes meta's way. the day after -- republican senators ron johnson and grassley are demanding facebook hand over more information in a letter sent to the ceo. the revelation that it was -- it raises more questions about the f.b.i.'s action. american people deserve to know whether the f.b.i. used facebook as part of their plan
6:06 am
to discredit information about hunter biden. they demand significant information about the warnings including records between the facebook and government relating to hunter biden, justice department officials who communicated with facebook and names of the people contacted and dates facebook decreased distribution of the hunter biden laptop story. metamaintained it was general. in the lead-up to the 2020 election the f.b.i. shared general guidance about the threat of foreign interference and potential hack and leak operations, not about hunter biden or his laptop. metahas until september 12th to respond. the scrutiny of one of the biggest social platforms and f.b.i. is undermining trust as we go into the mid-term elections. >> trace: we'll talk more about that kelly o'grady live in los angeles. >> dana: let's bring in marc thiessen. good to have you. i want to play one thing from
6:07 am
senator grassley. just last week on this very issue. watch. >> there is evidence of the you handle one thing one way for democrats and another way for republicans. i think i have proven some political bias in regard to hunter biden and trump in the f.b.i. so i think full transparency is what's really called for in this very extraordinary situation. >> dana: what do you think about all of this as we see a little bit more information? >> senator grassley is right. people wonder why people don't automatically trust the f.b.i. when it comes to the mar-a-lago raid or any other actions. this is case in point. last month senator grassley announced that whistleblowers had come forward including senior f.b.i. officials came forward to him and accused this agent of having suppressed the
6:08 am
hunter biden investigation by dismissing credible information as russian intelligence and disinformation. and now we're learning from mark zuckerberg that the f.b.i. went to facebook and are urged them to suppress information on the hunter biden laptop as russian disinformation. this is very serious and not conservatives attacking the f.b.i. this is within the f.b.i. whistleblowers coming forward to congress. when a senior official goes to congress as a whistleblower it means they can't get things fixed within the organization. nobody is listening to them. they felt the need to take the extreme step of going to senator grassley rather than taking it up the chain of command in their association and now we learn thibault was escorted out of the building last week and has resigned. this is serious stuff. >> trace: i want to point this out, marc, from miranda devine. a good step-by-step here. play the sound bite that mark
6:09 am
zuckerberg said the f.b.i. told him talking to joe rogan. >> we thought there was a lot of russia propaganda in the 2016 election and we have on notice there is about to be some kind of dump of -- similar to that and be vigilant. >> trace: there was nothing in the "new york post" story, zero, zero about russian disinformation so how does facebook make the link and censor that story? doesn't seem plausible. >> from their perspective they're saying the f.b.i. is telling them this. most americans trust the f.b.i. if the f.b.i. comes to you and says there is russian disinformation, then they are depending on their credibility. the problem is the f.b.i.'s credibility is in tatters. senator grassley also said that this agent in charge of the washington field office, tebow was instrumental in starting
6:10 am
the investigation of the trump campaign and allegedly scrubbed and diluted of sources political bias of a memo seeking a full investigation. you have a history here. this particular agent, the f.b.i. that used the steele dossier to open a campaign that falsified evidence to the fisa board and now this. this is real serious stuff. an institution that is in crisis. >> dana: i have to ask your opinion about president biden announcing he will give a prime time address on thursday. you have written presidential speeches before. if you have a prime time address you want to talk about democracy in america. thursday night before labor day weekend. might not be prime time viewing. >> yeah. as you mentioned i've written prime time addresses for presidents. every one of those addresses involved either announcing military action or major policy initiative. the prime time presidential address is not supposed to be a campaign speech and never has
6:11 am
been when i worked on them. so if president biden wanted to go ask the networks to give him time to explain his trillion dollar student loan forgiveness plan and make the case for it, more power to them. when you talk about an address on the threats to democracy, that's clearly a campaign speech. clearly a political speech and so the fact that -- if any network gives him air time unless they can provide the network with a policy justification for this speech. giving them air time they should have to pay for it. >> dana: that's a great point, marc, thank you. see you soon. >> trace: inflation is the top concern driving voters to the polls this november. will it be a winning issue for the gop? what the latest data reveals. >> dana: another motivating factors for voters the influence of former president trump is motivating democrats as well. could it promote independence?

>> dana: the queen of the court is not done yet. serena williams dominated her first match in her last u.s. open. the stadium was electric. 24,000 fans with a card saying we love serena. one fan stood out the most her daughter, olympia blowing kisses and cheering for her mom during the mafrp. serena is evolving away from tennis but it will always be part of her life. >> harder to walk away than not. that's been the case for me. >> you clearly still love this game. >> it is like serena 2.0.
6:31 am
i will still be around. >> dana: her next match is tomorrow. now i understand a little bit more about the game. you play a lot of tennis. >> trace: a little bit. not very well but a lot of tennis. she is not only -- she loves the game and still great. she is still great. she might win. i can't believe how hard she hits the ball at 40 years old. she is in phenomenal shape and a great player. she might go through and go deep into this. >> dana: i want them to put that thing, a clock on my serve. if it's 6 miles per hour i would be surprised. >> trace: they can use an hourglass. >> dana: we can give that a shot. >> trace: one superstar not at forest hills novak djokovic barred entry into the u.s. because he is not vaccinated for covid and the white house is struggling to explain the apparent double standard as migrants walk across the southern border vaccinated
6:32 am
status unchecked. peter doocy brought it up at the briefing yesterday. >> how come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated but world class tennis players are not? >> the u.s. government also does not comment on medical information of individual travelers. this is a cdc requirement for foreign nationals. this is something that they decide. >> trace: let's bring in outkick founder clay travis. you heard the sound bite from the white house. they don't have an answer on this. we know illegal immigrants are walking across the border. and also being bused and planeed into several cities around the country vaccination status unclear and welcome to go to the u.s. open if they want to. >> yes. first fantastic question. i've been asking this for a while and i don't know what the legal ramifications would be. but what if novak djokovic had just walked across our southern border with his tennis racket and backpack and hopped on one
6:33 am
of the buses and gone to new york? would he have been able to play if he were able to enter into the united states? it's patently absurd. no way to defend it. if you are flying into the united states and you are a foreign national you are required to have gotten the covid shot. if you just walk across our southern border, there is no requirement for the covid shot whatsoever. how can you reconcile those two different treatments? you can't. credit to peter doocy for asking karine jean-pierre to explain it. she can't. i would love joe biden explain it. i'm certain he couldn't either. he can barely explain anything at this point. the fact that novak djokovic isn't playing in the u.s. open because he played last year is a disgrace to american policy and further evidence of our failures when it comes to covid. >> dana: what's interesting that if you buy a ticket to go to the u.s. open as a
6:34 am
spectator, you don't have to prove vaccination stauts. i'm fortunate and i get to go this year. you don't have to do that. that's sitting cheek to jowl with the person next to you. the players themselves -- i wonder if you think how much longer this can go on because you also have the situation where other athletes like novak djokovic, kyrie irving, aaron rodgers are all unvaccinate ed as the cdc protocol change can't the biden administration see a way to deal with this as well? >> yeah, dana. my argument is covid policy in the united states is the biggest public policy failure in america since the vietnam war. when you mentioned novak djokovic and aaron rodgers who had a great interview over the past weekend and kyrie irving who refuse to get the covid
6:35 am
shot and proven correct, i think. young and healthy guys they looked at the data said there is no reason for us to get this shot. stood up to the mandates of the united states government. willing to take the slings and arrows in the larger cultural context when everybody turned on them. i believe these guys are all going to be vindicated. they already have been based on the data. it points to, dana, a larger colonel toural schism here. we need to end all covid restrictions. there are kids right now going to school in philadelphia having to wear masks. this is madness. there is controversy in washington, d.c. over whether unvaccinated kids can even attend school. we have kids i believe in head start programs, very young kids still being required to wear masks. there should be zero covid restrictions anywhere in the country. covid shot or not covid shot. this is madness that we still
6:36 am
have it. >> trace: it's amazing. >> dana: clay travis. check him out. you had the great piece on outkick.com. appreciate you being here. >> thank you. >> dana: there is a growing public health concern over today's marijuana. studies are linking frequent use to sigh companiesis, depression and anxiety. dr. marc siegel talked to one man with a psychosis. >> marijuana or weed is part of our culture for decades. the terms have remained etched in our brains even as the percentage of thc, the essential chemical has changed. rising to well over 50% now. the psychological impact of the change has been devastating. ethan andrews cannabis addiction started as a young teenager. when he was 18 his casual
6:37 am
marijuana use turned into smoking higher strains and concentrates. thc is found in cannabis that produced a high. >> i was hearing things and seeing things. i couldn't distinguish what was real and what wasn't. >> he was diagnosed with cannabis psychosis. >> we see more and more young men with these episodes. >> this is the director of the national institute of drug abuse. >> people are being exposed to higher and higher content and more widely available. >> 19 states and washington, d.c. have legalized recreational marijuana and 37 states approved medical use. that does not mean cannabis use is harmless especially on adolescent brain development. >> exposed early on to thc one side of the brain in a way that makes it more susceptible later
6:38 am
on to other drugs. >> my son started with marijuana and ended up using meth and heroin. >> after seeing how marijuana affected her son and husband she started every brain matters, it supports and educates family on the harmful effects of the cannabis. >> it is destroying lives and health. >> manufacturers have found ways to add marijuana to vaping devices,edibles that can contain 100% thc. a massive increase from decades ago. chuck schumer recently introduced the cannabis administration and opportunity act that aims to federally legalize cannabis nationwide. >> i think they need to prove to us that this is safe. >> it has been five years since ethan made a full recovery from psychosis. >> i got so paranoid that my brain was damaged i'm too traumatized to even smoke weed
6:39 am
again. >> marijuana is powerful and dangerous and sometimes laced with pcp, embalming fluid and even fentanyl. >> trace: mural browser said migrant kids would be able to go to school. why are migrant advocates calling her out? plus look out. a bull jumps the fence into the stands at a rodeo. how this all ended is next. life... doesn't stop for diabetes. 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. i'd like to thank our sponsor liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. contestants ready?

psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to.
6:42 am
tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx®. 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.

more than they bargained for. the bull jumped over the partition and sent fans running for their lives. announcer urged people to stay calm. they corraled it back into the pen. nobody this time was hurt. >> dana: such a massive beast. tragedy, a dutch soldier died from his injuries after shot outside an indianapolis hotel last saturday. all three were in the u.s. for training exercises and the police are still searching for a suspect. joining us now is fox news contributor joey jones, former marine bomb technician. wonderful to have you. my fellow co-host on "the five" today as well, right? how important is it that we have co-training with people around the world like the dutch. >> incredibly important. look no further than what is happening in ukraine. one of the biggest criticism there was the lack of ability to track the weapons we were
6:46 am
sending. this is the type of training to do that. communications and reconnaissance. letting them know how to program radios and get on the same frequency and communicate with one another. i'm a dinosaur now in terms of fighting the 20-year war. when i came in i went to a place in california the mojave desert and we had everybody from around the world. a handful of years in florida learning how to take bombs apart and we have to be very careful how we do it but a lot of foreign commandos and special forces that come and learn enough of that to stay alive and work with us and not do something dangerous that they don't know. incident like this, this is what we call an international incident. a big deal. part of our job to keep them safe when they are here but also this is america. you want to get out and experience what this is, staying in a hotel, going to dinner every night. it's part of the appeal of
6:47 am
having that relationship. top line here is i have a friend in indiana state trooper saying there is a real quiet crime crisis in indianapolis. i think that term from him a non-political guy really stretches from coast to coast. a quiet crime problem in cities other than new york, los angeles and chicago. >> trace: you talk about how important the training exercises are and the dutch minister said a crime problem in america is a big concern when we send people over. >> dana: it is not just l.a., chicago and new york. >> my friend's intention was it is worse than people think but from my perspective, getting to report on certain cities and not others, you know, dallas, orlando, there are so many cities that are great cities that people travel to everyday that have their own crime problem. crime in this country is a problem. >> dana: you think that quiet crime crisis is on the minds of enough people that it will show
6:48 am
up as a determining factor in some of these mid-term elections? >> i worry because you put it in the back of your head we won't go downtown tonight and not do that anymore. i don't know if people bring that to who they are voting for because inflation and gas prices are on their mind. thankfully for republicans i think they're on the right side of both of those issues. >> dana: my sister lives in southeast denver, they never go downtown denver and it used to be a great place. >> i loved it before and i wouldn't go there now. >> trace: biden will campaign saying he believes the g.o.p. is anti-police and pro crime. >> the original sin of defund the police had nothing to do with money but everything to do with narrative and the way you position yourself against police officers. now biden will try and i guess throw some money at it. money won't fix this problem. all the money in the problem
6:49 am
won't convince someone they can serve their community and not be put on the chopping block for it. >> dana: see you on "the five". i'm sure you'll be prepared. no doubt. >> trace: inflation is front and center in one of the most competitive u.s. house races. will democrats pay the price in iowa? we'll ask congressional candidate zach nun. a 17-year-old became the world's youngest pilot to fly around the world solo and wait until you hear whose record he broke. he joins us with the story. >> young people can make a difference. follow your dreams and they will eventually come true. only at vanguard, you're more than just an investor—you're an owner. we got this, babe. that means that your dreams are ours too. and our financial planning tools can help you reach them. that's the value of ownership. the tempur-pedic breeze° makes sleep feel cool. because the tempur-breeze°

6:58 am
difficult and when i was in dubai i was wondering if i could finish my trip. i wasn't allowed to get flight through russia. normally i'm not allowed to fly through japan. i was able to get the japanese permit never issued before. and they also did it, which was incredible. >> trace: fantastic story. you were 16 when you left. you turned 17 during this great journey. any really scary moments for you along the way that you were concerned, that your family was concerned? >> yes, sir. the pacific flight, one of the biggest was at the start of the trip when i was flying through the sahara desert. i had a fuel pump problem in the middle of the desert and it was bad. it meant that i didn't have enough fuel to reach my destination. luckily i was across the border

7:01 am
political speech. if any network gives him air time unless they can provide the network with a policy justification, they should have to pay for the air time. >> trace: mark meredith live at the white house with more. mark, good morning. >> good morning. with summer coming to an end the white house is stepping up its plans to get the president out on the campaign trail. as you were talking about he have is going to be heading to pennsylvania three times in less than a week. this afternoon making stops in scranton to deliver remarks on gun violence. pittsburgh and milwaukee on labor day but it's the prime time speech on thursday in philadelphia which is expected to be much more fiery and politically focused. white house official say the theme will be continued battle for the soul of the nation as well as the ongoing fight for democracy. the president has certainly stepped up his attack on the former president and trump supporters. here is what he had to say just last week. >> president biden: the extreme maga republicans have made

their choice to go backwards full of anger, violence, hate and division. we've chosen a different path. forward, the future, unity, hope, optimism. >> biden continues to blame trump a cbs poll shows americans aren't happy with where the country stands during the biden administration. cbs reporting only 6% of registered voters believe they feel things in america are going very well. 43% think things are going very badly. president's approval ratings not much better with only 45% of people telling cbs they approve of the president's job performance. the white house is indicating they may have turned a corner and the focus on the debt solutions for student loan debt as well as lowering gas prices, that kind of rhetoric, talk and action might be able to help them with the mid-terms. we hear from a lot of americans worried about the economy and rising crime. we expect to hear more about crime from the president up in
7:03 am
pennsylvania. >> trace: mark meredith live at the white house. a lot of selling to do for the biden administration over the next few weeks. >> dana: it is interesting. i remember being part of the prime time speech that president george w. bush gave on immigration. may in 2007. asking americans to tune in for something is really important. marc thiessen made a great point about it should be a policy speech. i hadn't thought about it that way. the more i think about it, this is unusual, a break from norm. but we've seen that in the past, too. trump broke norms and so you will get a very political speech on thursday night where the president is actually attacking voters as he did last week and we'll see how it turns out. the thursday night before labor day weekend is a strange time to give a prime time address and talking about student loans as well. watch this. >> you know the folks here in wisconsin. i don't think they will be particularly happy that the hard working people either paid off their student loans or
7:04 am
never went to college to have that debt burden transferred to their backs. that's what's happening here. >> dana: that's ron johnson sounding off an president biden's student loan bail-out program raising concerns on both sides of the aisle. he is in the midst of several key senate races where the political impact of the multi-billion hand-out is playing out. we're live in milwaukee, wisconsin with the details. here is garrett tenney. >> the timing of this decision two months before election day is a bit of a gamble for democrats. strategists say on one hand forgiving student loans for millions of americans could be a boost with young voters who the end to vote democrat and skip out on the mid-terms. to give them something to be excited about. but that could end up being the case. we spoke to young voters in pennsylvania and ohio and it's not the sense we got. >> i know i should be because i'm a college student but i'm not too big into it.
7:05 am
i would say it's not going to affect me much. >> it is something that might make me lean more left considering i usually find myself playing in the middle. >> make it so it's affordable to go to college at the least. or provide something that is not so demanding financially demanding. >> i think overall it's a good thing for people to be able to go out and spend that money on other things. i do feel like there is a level of unfairness there. >> one of the top concerns for voters now is inflation. here in wisconsin the folks we spoke with who support canceling student debt said the concern this will further fuel inflation are overblown. the students we spoke to said it is something to be worried about. >> it will go up anyway. things will cost more anyway.
7:06 am
>> i don't think the loan forgiveness has anything to do with inflation. >> inflation could be a massive issue that comes out of a program like this. it is something we need to look out for. >> i think that the driving impact of the inflation won't be as high as people think it is going to be. >> i'm independent and i align myself more so with democrats but i am not really impressed with how expensive things are and it is not entirely their fault but they are the ones in charge. >> the fallout from the student loan plan is interesting in ohio's senate race. tim ryan is criticizing the president's move saying it is wrong to force blue collar workers who didn't go to college to pay for those who did. dana. >> dana: thank you so much. want to bring in zach nunn, iowa state senator running for a u.s. house seat. he is also an air force combat
7:07 am
veteran. great to have you. i want to talk about the race in a moment. we've seen seeing some interviews with people across the country. just a sampling. some people seem empathetic to people with student loan debt but bothered by the unfairness. what do you hear on the campaign trail? >> you are right. i'm a military member and paid for my college through working all the way through both high school to save up for school and then when i went through. i paid for my masters program by serving in the military in multiple combat tours overseas. i have a lot of great tradesmen, electricians, plumbers, carpenters feeling like they are shouldering the burden for somebody else's choices. we have a number of folks who did it the right way. paid their way through and worked hard. we should reward folks who take their initiative not handing out to individuals who have taken on debt and had no way to pay for it. >> dana: what about the inflationary aspect of it?
7:08 am
do you hear that as well? >> absolutely. in fact it's the number one thing we hear on the campaign trail, the cost of the cone me. i have four kids, two fosters and for us just going between football practice, dance practice, sleepovers. these things cost our family a lot. the highest rate of inflation across the country is on food. the second most is on the cost of college tuition. that's where this loan bail-out program does nothing to solve the root cause of the problem, runaway expenses at too many of our four-year institutions and the deprivation it takes away from our trade schools and community colleges. >> dana: two foster children, congratulations on that and thank you for doing that. let's talk about your race. the fox power rankings for iowa in your district leans republican and told this morning that your race is considered one of the top pickup opportunities for republicans there. you have an interesting group of supporters. in fact, you have all the gop supporters it's rare to get all of these on the same ticket.
7:09 am
donald trump, mike pence, nikki haley, mike pompeo, tom scott of south carolina. >> we're very humbled. being in iowa, people pay attention to it every four years. in this case the mid-term elections and we identify the iowa third distroint, des moines to the missouri border will be a cross whether we win back the majority in congress. we have to beat a number of incumbents. we have a good track record as a state senator when we passed the largest tax cut and our economy grew. we have wonderful people wanting to spend time here in iowa. everybody from nikki haley, mike pompeo is coming soon and vice president pence and got a great call from president trump wishing us congratulations in the primary victory. >> dana: one other issue,
7:10 am
abortion. during the campaign you were asked in a debate in your mind should all abortions be illegal in this country. hands up if you say yes. you raised your hand and then recently you said let me be clear i'm pro-life and believe life begins at conception. i believe we must be compassionate toward women and unborn children. the issue of abortion, how will that play in what could be a close race. >> i think we've been very clear on this in the past. we feel as a foster father myself with my wife, life begins at conception and we also recognize the health of the mother and the baby the entire way through and why we voted consistently no late term abortions in iowa. we have also made sure the hilt -- health of the mother is taken into consideration. our opponent took a vote to be very extreme. abortions up until day of birth. something done in north korea and china, not america. not in the hartland.
7:11 am
an issue feel people very proud of. we help mothers before birth, during pregnancy and after birth. i have been proud to lead on that and stand firmly on that front. >> dana: zach nunn we'll see you again before the mid-term election. get back to the campaign trail and we'll see you soon. thank you. >> thanks. >> trace: electric car pioneer musk making comments about fossil fuels and getting big reaction. >> dana: what a federal judge is ordering the government to do ahead of a hearing on thursday regarding the mar-a-lago raid. >> the issue is there are politics involved here and the appearance of political involvement. this has been brought on by the department of justice with their actions from the beginning.

>> dana: the judge telling the d.o.j. to have a list of things taken from mar-a-lago. >> we know this detailed receipt will be filed at some point over the next few hours, perhaps later this afternoon. it is what the government took from mar-a-lago a little bit more than three weeks ago. we won't see exactly what's on because it will be what's called under seal. only the judge and the relevant parties will see more about that evidence. however, at the same time the trump team is pushing forward for a big day in court on thursday, his team pushing hard for a neutral third party arbiter we've been talking about it on fox news called a special master to come in and see if the department of justice properly handled evidence. that special master would also return any evidence that is outside the scope of the
7:18 am
investigation. judge cannon, a federal judge in south florida will hear arguments from the government and trump team on thursday in west palm beach. she would then make the decision if a special master is necessary. she will take into account a court filing from yesterday from d.o.j. indicating federal prosecutors have already gone through the evidence. those federal prosecutors are suggesting a special master is somewhat of a mute point because of the d.o.j. filter team like a special master. a neutral team at the justice department to look at the evidence and that filter team found a limited amount of material that may contain attorney/client privilege information. the former president's team wants this special master, someone not connected to the justice department. >> we still need judicial intervention and we need a judge to monitor our access to these documents. we haven't had a single phone call from the filter team telling us anything. this is the first knowledge we had about their findings on
7:19 am
attorney/client privilege. >> trump's legal team hanging their hopes on this idea of executive privilege. however, the department of justice is making it clear in filings so far and we expect to hear more that former president trump was not covered under executive privilege because he left the white house more than 18 months ago. that's the argument from d.o.j. >> dana: hadn't heard that one yet. >> i actually am not someone who would the end to sort of demonize oil and gas. inth is necessary right now. at this time i think we actually need more oil and gas, not less. >> trace: elon musk ceo of tesla made that comment yesterday at an energy conference in norway. let's bring in charlie gasparino. when elon musk says you need gas and oil people are

7:31 am
last month. we have now located brian in chester, pennsylvania, just outside of philadelphia in this neighborhood that he calls dangerous. >> why did i decide to leave venezuela? the main reason i left because of the dictatorship. a person like me would never get a visa. >> he is seeking asylum. as a fast food cook he could never get ahead. he paid thousands of dollars to coyotes to come to the u.s. his feet bled on a 50 day journey. men, women and children were assaulted. one father killed himself after his child died. there was really a lot of risk. we saw a lot of dead people that were left behind. people that were suffering, dying. he wants to work to create a better life for his wife and two children that he left behind. >> i talked with them every day on the phone.
7:32 am
obviously i miss them a lot. >> brian tells us he was given a cell phone from immigration authorities and he has to send a picture every friday. >> for those who want to do this journey, too, have a lot of faith. it is not an easy trip but it is not impossible. >> brian is not one of the hundreds of thousands of gotaways, the people who intentionally evade authorities and pose a great risk. the white house has previously said they can use the cell phone to track migrants' actual location, appearance and voice. i talked to texas dps about brian's case. he was processed and given a court date for next august, until then he is in this country properly and he would not be a deportation priority. trace. >> trace: compelling stuff. matt finn along the border. thank you. >> dana: former u.s. ambassador to the united nations firing

back after "politico" filed information of donors to her nonprofit. this is bigger an attack on my team but an attack on all conservatives. liberal a.g.'s are targeting pro-life group, nra and other conservative groups. they aren't trying to hide their bias. power corrupts. ambassador haley joins us live now. tell us what happened. >> well basically we did what all policy advocacy groups do. we get out there and advocate for policies and advocate things like it is ludicrous to have someone who didn't go to college pay for someone who did. the fact we're $30 trillion in debt and the biden administration keeps spending. the fact we're looking at getting back into the iran dealer to make threats on america even worse. we call out what we see whether it's gavin newsom, nancy pelosi, joe biden. and we give solutions. stand for america has a newsletter they put out every
7:34 am
day and what we're seeing is all of a signed we get notified that our donors will get leaked to the press, which is a state tax violation and a federal tax violation if that happens. it is leaked, we look at the last page from the what "politico" provided and it has the new york state attorney general's office stamp on it. so that office leaked it to the press. and so now we are basically saying we're not going to cry about this or whine about this, we're going to fight this. we are filing a lawsuit against the new york state attorney general's office and going to garland and saying it is a tax crime and want him to investigate that office. i don't think he will do that but we'll make him answer for it. what this means is they're trying to intimidate conservatives. i will say every conservative out there, if you are tired of
7:35 am
seeing how they are weaponizing government and tired of seeing what they did to president trump and tired of seeing what they've done to the nra and to our pro-life groups, join us and unite in this fight. go to stand for america.com. we're not going to take it anymore. you don't see leaks coming out of the aclu or leaks coming out of planned parenthood. you only see these things happening to conservatives they perceive to be a threat. i will tell you, look, i fought russia and china, the new york state attorney general's office, we can do this and i think we just need to make sure we're loud and it will only make us louder that they keep doing this. >> dana: "politico" gave a response to us at fox news saying the role of money in politics has never been greater pushing for policy outcomes to orchestrating ad campaign. it is in the public interest to those trying to influence the system and "politico"'s reporting is protected by first amendment.
7:36 am
okay. that's said why is there this myth that it's only the right that has so-called dark money groups? >> why does that persist? that's right. so go have the is sierra club and planned parenthood do it. we have a political organization and we have hundreds of thousands of people who donate to that. all of them are listed and public because that's required by the law. it is not required by the law if you are a policy advocacy organization like stand for america. it is not required that you disclose your donors any more than you would disclose personal tax returns. if you want to do this, change the law. but right now that is the law. so the idea that new york state attorney general can violate state law, can turn around and violate federal tax law, i mean, there is no excuse
7:37 am
whatsoever for this lawlessness and that's what we are seeing coming out of these liberal government entities that decide they'll decide who needs to be blown up and who doesn't. well, you know, we are oef not going to throw cotton balls at them but a grenade and make sure they know enough is enough. this is too much. i hope everybody will join us at stand for america.com. we will keep calling them out and talk about the solutions that should be happening in this country instead and not let government weaponize us jen more. we aren't going to do it. >> dana: don't make nikki haley mad is what i just learned. i can feel your passion. >> that's right. i wear heels. it is not a fashion statement. we do it for kicking, you know that. >> dana: i'm sorry that happened to you. >> trace: one year since the final u.s. troops left afghanistan ending america's longest war. general jack keane is on the erosion of human rights in afghanistan since then and the

7:44 am
especially when every poll says 70 percenters of the people think l.a. is going in the wrong direction. >> caruso is a billionaire development. bass a career politician. >> to fight against unjust wars and fight for immigration and police reform. >> bass is a life long democrat. caruso was a republican who switched parties this year. >> he have is a moderate democrat and here in los angeles, that is about as far right as you can be to get elected. >> caruso disagrees. >> day one i will pull in the chief of police, we will take away these regulations that don't allow cops to engage and say start enforcing the law. >> we know we have deep problems in our city and we know that underlying all of those problems is income inequality. >> from president biden on down every major democrat supports bass. >> that's the answer to income inequality is good-paying jobs.
7:45 am
union jobs. >> caruso counters with a pledge to get tough on crime, corruption and homelessness. >> they are living and dying in the streets. it is inhumane. what have our elected officials done? >> caruso lost the primary by seven points and now down 12 and 21 points among likely voters according to the latest "l. a. times" poll. >> i don't expect him to win any geographic area or expect him to win any ethnic group including white voters in general. >> caruso faces a turnout problem, dana. on election day there is a measure affirming abortion rights and the recall of george gascon failed. both those favor congresswoman karen bass. you could argue the election restarts next week. >> dana: trace is groaning. william la jeunesse, thank you. >> once the last aircraft hit that point i made a radio call.
7:46 am
that call was mass safe. mobility aforces. i said maf safe at that point. that was the end and the war was over. >> trace: it has been exactly one year since the final u.s. troops left afghanistan. you just heard some of those troops reflecting on what it was like to end america's longest war. now two decades of progress to help rebuild afghanistan, bolster its economy and advance women's rights has vanished under the taliban. let's bring in fox senior strategic analyst general jack keane. i know you look back and analyze these things and we saw the pictures a year ago. it appeared to be a disaster on all accounts. a year later you have studied this, general. is it, was it a disaster? is that a fair assessment or are we being too harsh on the biden administration's handling? >> i don't think we're being too harsh as well. the impact of walking away from
7:47 am
a 20-year ally and turning the country over to the taliban, conducting an unconditional withdrawal which really turned into an unconditional surrender, and now we have the radical islamists in the country thriving again and certain life al qaeda are under the protection of the taliban. that is not something anybody had in mind when that decision was made. but the unfortunate thing was the president was apprised of all of this by his own intel, military and foreign policy advisors, and also our allied countries who were in afghanistan with us providing 6,000 of the forces themselves all said that look at, we should maintain a modest force here and also make certain that if we are going to draw this force down that we have conditions, which the taliban would have to abide by. he blew all that off.
7:48 am
the consequences are pretty severe in my judgment in terms of how it's emboldened our adversaries, russia, ukraine, china/taiwan, the middle east. these are indisputable facts. >> trace: quoting here perhaps most problematic for biden the investigation determined over 800 american citizens were left behind. a figure several times higher than the 100 to 200 that administration officials claimed were stranded when the withdrawal concluded on august 31, 2021. when the media left it appears the attention left and a lot of people are still there and in danger. >> oh yeah. certainly we were arguing against all of that at the time. what we should have done with the taliban is flat told them
7:49 am
listen, we'll stay until we get our people out and if you are going to interfere with that, you will face the consequences. understand where the taliban were, they were in kabul. they were no longer up in the hills. they were no longer hiding from us. they were occupying homes and prominent positions inside government buildings. and all we had to tell them is listen, we know where you are. you are not going to interfere with this. we will probably take another month or so to make certain that we get all of our citizens out. now estimated to be 800. and literally thousands of our afghan partners. this is a stain an our national honor. this is not america's values and why people have such difficulty coming to grips with this. i have think it dim din -- diminished us in the world.

>> dana: the spread of fentanyl forcing parents and students to re-evaluate safety procedures. it killed more than a thousand adolescents last year alone, including the son of my next guest. logan was 19. joining me now is logan's mom. i am sorry for your loss and this is an important story that we need to keep covering because your message to parents and students out there is this
7:56 am
can happen to any family. >> absolutely, 100%. this does not discriminate at all. fentanyl has changed the game. >> dana: tell me what b what happened to logan. >> absolutely. what i would describe we were like the normal, happy family. not a perfect family but definitely just the normal family. we did tons of things with our kids and had two boys. you know, logan was a vulnerable kid. we were on top of this very quickly with him. but what's happening in america right now is that fentanyl is being laced and put into anything. so no longer can we say, you know, just be careful or it's not going to happen to my family. this does not discriminate. it is all over. it is in every college, every school, every city and every -- in and out of any home.
7:57 am
it doesn't discriminate. >> dana: how did you try to stay on top of it, for parents wondering how they can try to address it? >> yeah, absolutely. so we look back and go we were so glad we did this and we would have maybe done that a little different. as a parent who lost a child you definitely look at those different things but we stayed on top of it with him. logan was in counseling and getting help. i'm a wisconsin state therapist so we were on top of it very early with him. what i can say to parents is that there is only so much you can do but you do need to educate your children. you need to have open conversations at a very young age. we're working at the college and high school level but this conversation needs to start earlier. kids learn so much when they are young and that's when we teach them not to cross the street without looking both ways. those are the times where we need to start talking to kids

about not taking anything unless it comes from your home, your doctor, your prescription. otherwise nothing. it is unfortunate we have to do that but that's the only way to fight this drug. we aren't going to solve the drug problem necessarily but we can help solve it by education. >> dana: synthetic opioid deaths ending of december of 2021 was 72,172. and i don't want you to make a political statement here but interesting that the president of the united states will give a speech on thursday night about the rights of americans being taken away and maga republicans. we had a guest on earlier this week, 300 americans are dying a day. it is fentanyl related. this is a national crisis. it is an emergency that we have to deal with. we were losing that many people on covid a day and we shut down the entire economy. so i am wondering your frustration level.
7:59 am
>> you know what, dana? yeah. my frustration level is high with that. you hit the number exactly what i was going to mention. that's a plane crash a day. we have a plane crash a day right now. if there was a plane crash right now it would be on breaking news all over for the whole week. we are losing kids, young kids being lured on snapchat and being groomed by dealers and i get parents who say why would they do that, they are driving addiction. right now it is one of two options. you either die or you are addicted. and so it is upsetting and it has to be talked about. i'm so grateful that fox is giving it this much coverage but it has got -- we have to continue to fight. it is a plane crash a day. >> dana: it is. erin, thank you. you have a young son who just went back to college. i know you worry about him but convinced your parenting is
8:00 am
setting him in the right direction. thank you so much and please stay in touch with us. >> thank you, dana. >> dana: i think a plane crash a day is right. >> exactly right. not getting the attention at all. you tonight at 10:00 will be hosting gutfeld. you have to be there tonight. >> dana: my biggest concern is what i'll wear. we'll work on that. it's coming up tonight at 11:00 p.m. "the faulkner focus" is next. gillian turner is in for harris. >> gillian: thank you, dana and trace. fox news alert off the bat today. are there two sets of rules for foreign travelers coming into the united states? critics contend world class athletes face stringent vaccine mandates while illegal migrants face no requirements at all. i'm gillian turner out
