will there was a shower. when we walked in the building we felt the allergy stuff. i looked it up, ainsley. >> ainsley: ragweed? >> steve: ragweed is moderate very high dust and dander. >> ainsley: i don't know what i'm allergic to but something. i need some of your sir tech or whatever you take. >> steve: allegra. >> brian: every seven years your body rotates what year are you on? >> ainsley: that makes sense i have never had allergies in my life. >> brian: i never had them i guess i have two more years and all hell breaks loose and i will have mucous. >> ainsley: like a dog every seven years. >> brian: they get one year older for us rerotate. >> steve: rotate or regenerate. rotate sounds like somebody else comes in. >> brian: switch positions. you lose the allergies i get this. visa versa. we all have allergies. >> ainsley: is there a vaccine for these? >> brian: ted do you know? there is. >> steve: there is for ragweed.

>> brian: kathie lee broke a story she confirmed my belief that anxiously for some reason doesn't dent the couch and she felt what i felt a deep recess in the cushion. >> ainsley: he blames it on pete hegseth. >> brian: everybody does. >> ainsley: who only sits saturday and sunday. >> steve: if you buns it's. >> ainsley: muscle weighs more than fat, denting in there. >> brian: i would like a cushion. i should bring my own foam. >> steve: who needs the bmi index just look at the couch. >> ainsley: started with new york. i haven't seen that shot of new york in ages. our governor is telling leave. >> brian: what a unifier. conservings, lee zeldin can you leave the state? instead of hey come back we need everybody we no tax base. >> ainsley: say that democratic governor and most of the people in the city at least votes democratically. isn't it like 3 to 1 or 4 to 1? >> steve: how many republicans are going to vote for the

democrat governor. >> ainsley: not now. >> brian: i never heard the message if you don't vote for me leave the state. an interesting little tagline. what a unifier. >> ainsley: california if you are homeless come here. she is saying if you are republican leave. >> steve: apparent lay sanctuary city for democrats. >> ainsley: right, exactly. >> brian: if you are from venezuela stay. if you are a republican leave. >> ainsley: 6:04 on the east coast. the justice department says it doesn't need that special master that donald trump is requesting. they said they -- we don't need a special master to review the documents that were seized from mar-a-lago. and they accuse donald trump's team of concealing the documents. >> brian: right. here we go. this comes as the doj faces its own credibility crisis forcing a.g. merrick garland into damage control mode. >> steve: kevin corke is live in washington with the latest. kevin, the doj filed this 36-page filing as it is referred

to just before midnight. just before the deadline. and there's a jackpot of information in there. >> a lot of allegations. and you are right, it made for very interesting fox news at night last night right around the midnight hour. this 36 page filing offers the department's most detailed account yet of its allegations of obstruction of justice. and, again, i want to repeat allegations. as for the trump team's desire to have a special master appointed the feds say quote the plaintiff's motion to appoint a special master enjoined further review of seized materials fails for multiple independent reasons. the government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed to obstruct the investigation. now, the filings include a photo of some of the apparently classified files that were recovered. the former president's lawyer say look, we were cooperating with the feds the whole way. by the way, this is always an issue with former presidents but they conducted the raid anyway.

this, as merrick garland issued a pair of memos on tuesday. one banning political appointees from partisan events. and, two, a warning from doj personnel to not communicate with congress directly. quote: we must do all we can to maintain public trust and ensure that politics both in fact and appearance does not compromise the integrity of our work. reaction to that from one of president trump's lawyers. >> the fact that they are coming forward and saying that there is something wrong with what is happening in the fbi. i commend them. i encourage them to come forward. merrick garland putting out statement saying you can't speak toeing do, i find that really ironic and hypothetical considering january 6th has made a point of pulling people out that had no knowledge. >> garland's move comes amid growing concerns amid bias and corruption in both the fbi and more broadly the doj following its actions before the 2020

election. it's part debunk russia collusion stories. it's lies to the fisa court. it's surveillance of the trump campaign and later trump presidency. the raid on mar-a-lago. of course, all that preceded deet par temperature of a special agent in charge of the bureau timothy thibault who as you probably heard by now left amid his own allegations of bias though his attorneys say he, quote, firmly believes that any investigation will conclude that his supervision, leadership, and decision-making were not impacted by political bias or partisanship of any kind. now, i just want to pass this along. there have been some scattered reports this morning that there will be no special master appointed in this case. but we will await the court's decision to be sure. >> steve: that's right. we don't know yet. kevin, thank you very much. regarding tim thibault his lawyer put out that statement and, you know, he is just trying to get side side out. in the lawyer's statement it

said a month ago he told the fbi he was retiring. he was not fired or forced to retire. he was not involved in mar-a-lago. did he not supervise hunter biden, which was confirmed by the fbi director in testimony on august 4th as being handled by the baltimore office. and he was not involved in any decisions related to any laptop that may be an issue and did not try to close the will hunter biden investigation. he does say that allegations in his social media posts may have violated the hatch act. those are being investigated by the office of special counsel, all the other political allegations, he says, are false. >> brian: the whistleblower has got a different story. >> ainsley: who do you believe? his attorneys are saying he didn't try to shut down the investigation of fisa. that he regrets. they say he regrets the social media posts but now. >> steve: troubling. >> ainsley: now the doj is saying no more can you post things like this. you can't be involved in

political campaigns. you can't wear political pins. >> steve: the hatch act. >> ainsley: contributions. >> brian: i didn't know that wasn't done already. if you are an fbi agent. are you usually going to rallies? >> steve: well, here's the thing, fbi agents like all of us have first amendment rights. but merrick garland in this memo that he sent out to everybody it's like, particularly run -- at all times as a political appointee in particular, he cannot be involved in politics, ocean though a lot of the political appointees got their jobs because they are political. >> ainsley: to your point, bribe, is it because we are in a different time now? now we are seeing the distrust from the american people. >> brian: sure. >> ainsley: with the doj and the intelligence community because we are learning about this stuff. used to be able to be involved in campaigns, maybe. used to be able to be friends with people from other political parties. but it seems now there is a line divided. >> brian: yeah. i thought if i ever saw an fbi agent with donald trump or joe biden. i would think or hanging out in a rally, i would think that that

would be a problem with their supervisor. >> steve: absolutely. if they are working. see, the -- >> brian: what if they're not working? steve: then people have a first amendment right. fbi agents. >> ainsley: everyone has a political opinion. >> steve: everybody does. merrick garland is say iing, to your point, there is a heightened scrutiny on all of us, we owe it to the american people to follow the rules. so, he made it very clear these are the rules. don't be political when you are at work. >> brian: all right. meanwhile lara trump was with us earlier -- excuse me, "fox & friends" earlier and she talked about what's going on between the fbi raid on mar-a-lago and the fbi revelation about hunter biden's atlanta. listen. >> such a bad look, i think, for the department of justice now because it goes to further the notion that they are targeting donald trump; that there is something to hide. just from the beginning of all of this, this raid at mar-a-lago, his lawyers were not allowed to be on property while the fbi was conducting this

raid. they asked for the cameras to be shut off while all of this is taking place. and now, they have blocked a third party individual, as you just mentioned from being there with them to go through documents and make sure that they have only what they are supposed to have. so, unfortunately, this is probably just going to add fuel to the fire for so many people who believe this was conducted improperly. >> ainsley: she brings up a good point. why couldn't there be a special master appointed? if they didn't do anything wrong, just someone else to overlook the whole investigation and make sure that everything was above board. >> brian: we will find out tomorrow, right? >> steve: you know, that was the deadline. here's the thing. what they are saying is the doj is saying the special master is unnecessary because it could actually harm national security interest. also argued. >> ainsley: made it look like they are not doing their job. >> steve: when you look at those document. can we go back and look at those document on the floor?

keep in a according to thefying the agents found three classified documents in donald trump's desk. what were they doing in the desk? and when you look at these particular things right here, at least five yellow folders marked top secret and another secret sci. that stands for sensitive compartmentalized information. these are the biggest secrets in the world. we have heard that donald trump's lawyers went through all the stuff but how could you go and look at that and not think, you know what? that's probably something i should turn back over. >> his attorneys were asked about this and he said he had already ordered them to be declassified. they were taken to mar-a-lago when he was president. >> brian: they have a new attorney hired now by -- new attorney to help them out to lead this charge. >> steve: ron desantis guy. >> brian: here is what is interesting. the stuff on the floor. took a picture see he is being shoddy with it. stuff outside where they were storing these documents. see, i had to go in and raid.

well we didn't it was declassified. there is going to be a push and pull. it should never to me it keeps going to why were you raiding? why did it come to this that you have to first time ever raid somebody else's compound normally people have houses. compounds in order to grab documents when you were going -- >> ainsley: they stop the say okay you went in january and took the 5 boxes. then you had to go back in objection and you say you found 38 documents of classified markings. we all want to know were these 38 documents, were they declassified when he was president? he had the authority to do it. >> steve: he did. >> ainsley: we are not getting any answers. >> brian: soon. >> steve: agencies involved in those documents have said nobody ever told us they were declassified. there is a protocol to do it, and apparently, if he thought he was doing it, they didn't do it right. to your question, why did they have the search? in may, they put it -- a subpoena to retrieve all the documents and then in june,

remember, to your point, the agents showed up and the trump people gave them 38 documents. and then christina bob signed something and said that's all there is. for some reason, one of the trump lawyers prohibited the government agents from looking inside any of the boxes that remained in the storage room. then they heard from multiple people, apparently, there is big secrets there and not just in the document room, and so that's why they got the search warrant and that's why they went. >> brian: the problem is, that's the same storage room where they said do me a favor, before we go through all of that would you put another lock on the door and he did. they said quickly let's go check melania's socks and make sure there is nothing there. we got a tip that something in the safe. safe totally empty. obviously there is another side to the story. if there is, the president got to come forward and say here's the lawyer that everything is done or we thought it was all done or we told you it was here.

so far you have the department of justice still trying to justify what they did and at the same time they say keep everything confidential and at the same time, try to avoid for some reason a special master. if i were them, if you are so secure in what you did, have that special master in and have them check everything out. >> ainsley: the problem is i think it's a lack of trust. if you really look at the whole picture. because you have a whistleblower telling chuck grassley all this stuff. several whistleblowers. >> brian: 12. >> ainsley: is that true? we need to investigate. who is going to investigate that? do we trust these investigators? you have a whistleblower saying in mar-a-lago we have all these documents that are classified. they go in, they find documents. are these documents -- were they declassified when he was president? were they not? we have to investigate both of these situations. all situations but do we truths investigators now? that's the problem. >> brian: by the way isn't it sad that a dozen fbi agents have to go to the senate instead of christopher wray because they don't feel as though christopher wray can be trusted and

retribution will be coming on them for doing what they think is the right thing? >> steve: ultimately though what we know about what the whistleblowers have said we don't know what they have alleged. we do know exactly what the government has found. >> brian: we got the guy thibault's name from the whistleblower and next thing we know he has been walked out the door. wees have his point of view. he is he a one-man machine or did he have other people make sure. we know one thing for sure, they suppressed the hunter biden laptop and saying it was wrong. people on the record said it was wrong. ends up being 100 percent verified. they never called tony bobulinski. those people have zero credibility. now they say whoops, we made a mistake. >> steve: i want to hear from the whines, they have protection and immunity. >> brian: we heard from them in july. >> ainsley: understand why they don't want to be identified. >> steve: still anonymous. ainsley: what is coming up.

>> brian: outspoken critic of ron desantis and wait until you hear florida governor and ties to gavin newsom. >> ainsley: lawmakers calling student loan handout slap in the face. why they are trying to buy votes using their hard earned cash. many of them didn't go to college. >> steve: wait, what? ♪ say you don't need no diamond ring ♪ and i'll be satisfied ♪ tell me that you want the kind of things ♪ that money just can't buy at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto

because, ultimately, they will have to pay for it. >> ainsley: yeah. most of them are working class individuals. and they didn't go to college. they immediately started working. getting a paycheck. they work crazy hours. they are faced with so many dangerous situations. they are saying we want our money for ourselves. we don't want to have to pay for someone else who is going to eventually make hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to college and you understand that brian brian here is what he said president of oil and gas workers. said this to fox business one more slap in the face from this administration. by the way oil and gas have been abused. a lot of people have looked at oil and gas workers as dumb, uneducated they are some of the brightest people around constantly referred to constantly referred to as dumb and uneducated. foot the bill for a bunch of people who think they are smarter than all of us who work out there in this industry. it's very lucrative and people are discouraged from being in it. another person that is also out is mitch daniels who is running

perdue. are you kidding? i'm with college and that loan forgiveness should not happen. >> steve: ryan shul went to a community college because he couldn't afford a four year university he told fox business this: they are trying to buy votes. a lot of people feel like that. they are trying to buy as many votes as they can taxpayer dollars and they don't really care about the working class. they don't care. they don't even care about the students. if they truly were going to help these kids, then they would change the cause of all of this debt. great point. >> ainsley: and every age group is different. i'm in an age group where we are saving for college. you have already paid for your kids' college. when you are in that age group, when you are in my age group you are thinking i'm trying to save for my own children. if you are in your age group are thinking i worked so hard tirelessly. got to the top level in your industry, you worked every single morning. you missed taking them to school. you did all of that as a sacrifice for these kids. they now have great jobs and they are doing well as a result. and now many people feel like

they are asking you to pay for all these other children. >> steve: where is the fair part? >> ainsley: exactly. then there are people on fixed incomes that are retired and they are say would he go have to run all of our groceries and errands on one day because we can't afford the gas fries presidency now they are asking us we already paid for our kid's college now we have to pay for other kids' colleges. a senator said let's do a tax cut across the board. if you want to use that money to pay off student loans you can oil and gas industry use that for your gas. >> brian: money not collected as opposed to money collected and handed out like the governor of pennsylvania wants to do. congressman byron donalds knows exactly what's going on here and it's called vote buying. watch. >> it's not how our government is supposed to work. number one, is had this is a gross violation of sprays separation of powers. you are right, all spending originates in the house. even nancy pelosi said it a year ago. but now she is quiet because she wants to try to keep her majority, which she is not going to keep by the way. number two, congress never

deliberated this. congress never voted on this. and, number three, and most importantly, it's just simply unfair. what are you saying to the hardworking people of our country of who did not go to college? all you are telling them is that you better be a part of a democrat base if you want your piece of the pie. this is absurd policy. it creates a moral hazard. and it does nothing for the actual problem. >> brian: i do think this: there is also a fundamental bond you have. when you walk into a bank or go to a lender and say all right, here's the money, unless it's a loan shark and i don't go to the dock to much to get money anymore. >> steve: don't talk to ted then. >> brian: ♪ back room. fund mental deal, do you this you have the deal, you have the interest rate and did you go from and you are obligated to do it. i never heard of being just alleviated from an obligation by a government official who is not involved in the transaction. >> steve: well, going back to the oil and gas workers. they had a poll and what they

said was every respondent said they should not be expected to pay for the program. they feel targeted because joe biden's energy agenda is trying to put every one of them out of work but they would still have to pay through their taxes. >> ainsley: think about the 20 and 30-year-olds have to benefit from this $10,000 wiped off of their student loan and they will be 70 years old voting democrat because they will say i remember what the democratic party did for me. >> steve: big question will they vote for joe biden. will they go to the polls in november? that's what they're hoping. >> brian: countered by a 34-year-old just finished paying off their loan really. i know for sure midland, texas, discouraging families from having the kids go into business. that's what democrats are doing. meanwhile coming up straight ahead. days after being shot attempted robbery commander rookie ryan robinson jr. reunites with his team the commanders. >> steve: plus fighting workplace. help students push back on far left policies in corporations.

gorbachev passed away at the age of 91. led his country from communism to capitalism kind of. gorbachev was instrumental in working with ronald reagan arms control signing a treaty to cut tensions. dan hoffman spent five years in moscow joins us now. gorbachev was in his 50's. he was supposed to be there for decades. we saw g glasnost and perestroi. >> gorbachev will be having remembered failures of that soviet economy and corrupt political process but also having exposed the fact that they could never reform it from within. when faced with the shocks of the war in afghanistan, the chernobyl nuclear accident, president reagan stalwart opposition to soviet communism and dough mess stem opposition from boris yelled sen go on to be president. the soviet union couldn't withstand that and it collapsed. and i really think there is two

legs today as we look at mikael gorbachev's life one for the west a positive one he was able to wind down the soviet evil empire without a catastrophic nuclear war. for the russians, particular lear for vladimir putin. it's that when you allow any sort of democracy and human rights to seep into that russian society, you risk tearing down the system that they seek to control for themselves. >> brian: they. i guess they wanted perpetual hell because they seem to keep subscribing to it. so, gorbachev loses power. yeltsin comes in and hands it right back to the kgb. and that's why we get vladimir putin as he drinks himself to oblivion and gorbachev goes to the sidelines. >> that's one of the great -- one of the many but great ironies of russian history that boris yeltsin who we remember for standing on top of those tanks coup attempts in 1991 opposing the kgb turns back over

thousand labs and it was 90% of them two. places in mexico where these two cartels are. let me tell you what the secret is here that we haven't said before. it's all about costs. because heroin, heroin costs about $6,000 to make a kilogram. fentanyl makes -- costs $200. do you know why? it's completely synthetic, you don't need the poppy plant. you don't need to go from opium. all those poppy fields are drying up because you can use chemicals. illicit chemicals from china 10-foot lab garbage cans. big jugs of chemicals. they can't restrict them. china has tried to restrict them not hard enough, obviously, and then they can all be made locally. all flowing from mexico across the border. >> it's inexpensive easy to represently case and all because of mainly these two calgts, what can we do about it? >> it's actually hard -- first of all, the precursor elements are used for research.

so it's halder to cut down on them. of the second thing is that these labs are all over the place. one lab that's about 10 feet can make about 100,000 doses in a week of fentanyl. >> ainsley: if you in notice now they are doing all these different colors to market them to young people. because if you see a beautiful pink pill you might think oh, this isn't going to harm me, this is just for kids or something playful. or what if your child sees one of these pills and takes it, you know, a 10-year-old thinking that it's candy. >> and that is exactly what is happening. you ask what we can do about it? i'm here for a medical topic, there is a political solution. closing the border. mexico itself is responsible for this they haven't done a good job policing this. i said a thousand labs? that's the tip of the iceberg. they have got to close all of these labs, they know where they are. the area of sinla the entire place is run by the cartel.

>> ainsley: hard to fight them, isn't it. >> hard to fight them from across the border here. we are here trying to fight it after it comes here. and the leaky border is definitely playing a major role in that. >> ainsley: dr. siegel, thank you very much for making us aware. talk to your kids. >> you can stop breathing one pill. >> ainsley: still ahead. get woke and go broke as companies cave to the far left caucuses and causes. one university is teaching students how to avoid their mistakes, a professor behind the program at troy university is next. he hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with his cholesterol. taken with a statin, leqvio can lower bad cholesterol and keep it low with two doses a year. side effects were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. with leqvio, lowering cholesterol becomes just one more thing life throws your way. ask your doctor about leqvio. lower. longer. leqvio.

administration at troy what this course that is going to start in the fall is all about. well, there is a negative take, which is that we are anti-woke and we are trying to teach the dangers of wokeism to sound business. but there is also a positive sight to that the positive side is that businesses acting ethical in good faith follow rules, treat each other with respect. of treat others with respect and enable cooperation and trust among diverse individuals. so businesses provide value by producing goods an services that make our lives easier and better. >> steve: right. they don't need to purchase absolution for hard earned profits or boost brand with progressive politics. in advance countries that enjoy it freedom. most businesses most of the times benefit society and generate widespread health and prosperity. >> steve: very good. unfortunately, professor, you know there are a lot of corporations, big corporations with a lot of people on board they all vote yep, let's go woke and then, you know, it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the "studio b" tube in some

instances where they adopt policies that become problematic. >> that's right. yeah. and they become unethical. it's just an example. asset management corporations screen companies based on their esg criteria, which is their environmental, social and government policies, and they create investment funds that support esg compliant businesses. well, let's say you are an asset management company investing in state pension funds, you are probably investing in areas where funds are under performing so you are yielding fewer returns for your shareholders but also for the beneficiaries of these trust, and that's a breach of fiduciary duty that's unethical. >> steve: exit question for you, a lot of universities, a lot of the students are woke. is anybody going to take this class? >> yeah, we have actually -- we have actually had several students apply. it's completely voluntary. we accept students by application. and i was expecting that we would get a lot of students from

department said it does not need a special master to review documents seized during the ray of mar-a-lago. that's big of them. >> brian: we can randal handle it, we don't need anyone else. >> ainsley: new filing the agency a&e accuses former president trump's team of concealing documents. >> steve: mark mayor diss is live at the white house. mark, this is the best explanation from the government so far of why they went in and then they sent out that picture where all the secret stuff is on the floor. >> steve, ainsley and brian you are right. this is a real will he detailed document. we got a look at this a few hours ago it really explains what led up to the search at former president trump's home earlier this month but also what was kind of going on behind the scenes. may be asking why now? why are we getting this now? that's because there is going to be a court hearing in florida tomorrow. you mentioned the photo, that's what was buried inside this document. you can see what was recovered there with these government folders marked with either top secret or secret, easy for these agents likely to spot and recover. the justice department also urging a judge to reject trump's

request to appoint a special master or a third party to review all this material. the government writing that the plaintiff's motion to appoint a special master enjoined further review of seized materials fails from multiple independent reasons. the government also developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed to obstruct the investigation. now, of course, former president trump's team has claimed that they want to see somebody else review this because they don't believe what's happening is fair and we also are hearing from some trump supporters this morning who say they are less convinced about the government's arguments. >> now they have blocked a third party individual from being there with them to go through documents and make sure that they have only what they're supposed to have. so, unfortunately, this is probably just going to add fuel to the fire for so many people who believe this was conducted improperly. >> but the government argues officials went to great lengths to recover these materials before the search and that attorneys for the former

president had sworn to them that classified documents were no longer being kept at mar-a-lago. meantime, the attorney general defends the fbi's work, is he also issuing memos banning political appointees from partisan events and warning personnel not to communicate with congress directly. in these memos he writes: we must do all we can to maintain public trust and ensure that politics both in fact and appearance does not compromise the integrity of our work. we are hearing from the lawyers from one retired fbi agent timothy thibault they are defending their client's work after reports surfaced thibault worked to discredit stories will hunter biden. thibault's lawyers call it false. >> firmly believe any investigation will conclude that his supervision leadership and decision-making were not impacted by political bias or partisanship of any kind. you know, one person has been speaking out about this is iowa senator chuck grassley. heard from whistleblowers who claim that there has been

misbehavior happening in the justice department. he has even mentioned thibault specifically. obviously with the fallout from this search and what is happening inside the justice department there seems to be continued outrage but also a lot of questions. steve, ainsley and brian back to you guys. >> brian: pushback from thibault's office but we still don't have a good explanation of why he suddenly decided he needed to retire, do we. >> steve: a month ago. >> yeah. they are saying that he had fulfilled his duty this was simply the end of his term. like you said obviously they expect symptom sort of investigation to come out and senator grassley has been on top of this, i would imagine he is still going to have questions. >> steve: absolutely. mark, thank you very much. i would imagine the former president, who has been very verbal on truth social probably will have something to say about that very promptly. >> brian: very interesting that he decides to retire when his name is brought up senate hearing. christopher wray found it disturbing. they look at his social media. they say it is problematic. and he is going to look into it and next thing you know he retires and they put out

statements saying well, he had nothing to do with the investigation. that's a yes or no. had something to do it or directly have something to do with it whistleblowers will double down and say no we got it here. ron johnson, senator grassley and jim jordan have heard the same thing from different people. >> ainsley: we don't know the details of why he resigned. why he retired. they are saying it's because of social media, i believe. if that's the case he just retweeted some political things and posted political things that could be problematic. >> brian: would you also say, this ainsley, would you also say that the fbi stopped the "new york post" story, the fbi went to mark zuckerberg and said don't go go look out for russian disinformation. and would you also say that senator grassley and brian johnson and others are right to say we get power, we have to find out who exactly went to facebook. >> ainsley: i agree that there are problems i just don't want to accuse someone of a crime that we don't have the information. let's talk about the border though. >> brian: whistleblowers are. >> ainsley: another bust -- exactly whistleblowers are

saying all of this. another bus came into -- went to washington this morning. and we have some video of that bus rolling into town and new york city 1800 migrants on these buses have come over. d.c., you have 7400 on 180 different buses. >> steve: absolutely. and, you know, so they came in within the last hour or so. to washington, d.c. it's interesting though and we have heard from the president -- rather, we have heard and, ainsley, that's what you are talking about. so far to new york city 1800. close to probably by now 7500 once you factor in the people who showed up today. we did -- we have heard from the mayor of new york city, he is complaining about the fact that governor abbott is sending all these migrants to new york city when yesterday we told you that apparently the city of el paso is using joe biden federal money from the office of emergency management to bring migrants here. so, if he is going to blame

governor abbott, he should also take a shot at the current president of the united states because he is shipping people to new york as well. meanwhile, on the cover of the "new york post" today, the headline is great wide open and it talks about the migration problem. illegal migrants returning in because of no consequences from joe biden. and what they do is they look at the deposition of the chief of the border patrol and he was being deposed in a lawsuit florida, which is suing the department of homeland security regarding migration. and essentially what he does is he lays bear what is going on on the southern border. it's not the official government line but it is the first time we have heard somebody at his level say look, the people are coming because there is no consequence for breaking the law. >> ainsley: keep in mind, brian, this is all under oath because this was a deposition. this is from july 28th. foxnews.com got their hands on this recorded deposition.

>> brian: here is raúl ortiz the border patrol chief. >> when president biden was elected, did the number of aliens fr trying to illegally er the united states increase or decrease? >> objection. >> increase, in my experiences -- in my experience, we have seen increases when there are no consequences. there is an assumption that if migrant populations are told that there is a potential that they may be released yes, you can see increases. >> will it increase as exponential rate? is that what is being suggested here? >> objection. >> well, i do think it will increase, yeah. >> brian: ignored the objection over and over again. of course it is. it is a joke. look to the administration tells you we have an inflation reduction bill and we know it's not. even though they tell us that they are for funding the police, we know they haven't. they also say the border is closed and we know it isn't. and what are they talking about? listen to this. in mexico, we had a mexicans come to our country illegally,

297,000 in 2020. now it's up to 693,000. and i think you know the year is not done yet. guatemalans 48,000 came in 2020. now we have 200,000. el salvador up to 84,000. it was 17,000. honduras, 41,000, now 182,000. colombia had 404. it has switched to 97,000 and 128,000 from venezuela. when donald trump was in office it was 2700. cubans it's off the charts. now 175,000. we had just 13,000. let me ask you, what changed? those scenes are allowing everybody in is the go sign to everybody who wants to come here not necessarily refugees hey, this is a great time to go to america and join the rest of my family or start a new life because there is no penalty i get some nikeys, i get a phone and bus trip to new york or d.c. or a nice place to stay from catholic charities and i'm able to go to a different country with more opportunity. that's a great idea. that's when we used to go to the consulate.

we used to go to different immigration centers. now we sneak had in illegally. those scenes of being greeted at port authority and in washington, d.c. wherever they do it, they are saying to people in honduras and all these other nations i have to go. i owe it to my family to go. and the president won't even acknowledge it. although he will tell us the border is sealed. and we have a press secretary that says you can't walk across, which is such an insult to the american people. >> steve: maybe she doesn't know. she doesn't watch our channel. >> ainsley: cartels making a lot of money. irsingle person that you are seeing is coming across the border because they have paid a cartel member to get them over and tell them where to go and make sure they get there safely. the cartels are also, there are two major cartels as dr. siegel was explaining and also an article in the "wall street journal." there are two major cartels responsible to the majority of the fentanyl that's coming across the border as well. they are making a lot of money. and bill melugin who is our wonderful reporter down there on the border he tweeted this out

with a video. he says new a suspected cartel member aims a rifle at a texas dps drone from the mexican side of the river in the rgv. texas dps tells me one of their gun boats responds off camera and a trooper on board chambers a round on m 240 machine gun. the man sees hear it runs and hides. >> if that press secretary doesn't know this is happening. she should be fired yesterday or never have been hired to begin with. either that or she is lying. either way it's unacceptable. >> steve: joe biden himself says the border is closed even though we know it's not. now, regarding the chief of it. >> brian: he should be fired too if he believes that the border patrol guy a lot of republicans who are encouraging him to speak out in public. forget about this legal deposition down in florida. they want to hear him say things in public. for instance, congressman darrell issa said let's see him stop covering for biden and start telling the truth everywhere and andy biggs a

republican from arizona said ortiz's advice should be taken at the highest levels of the biden administration. just listen to the guy who is in charge, not the guy in the big chair at 1600 pennsylvania avenue who does things for political purposes. >> brian: we're about a year from the afghanistan disaster that was almost single-handedly engineered by president biden because it was his warped image of this is the best way to leave average. he defied all of his military commanders, all logic. he listened to some state department lackeys and he wanted to fulfill a promise because barack obama wasn't able to do it and neither were previous presidents pull out. it wouldn't be like saigon you are right, mr. president. it was worse. he said there was no easy way to do it. every single way to do it was easier than the way you did it and embarrassed our country to a degree that many people pott late that ukraine or muscle flexing from china had they not left the way they did. we can't forget about what happened at abby gate. >> ainsley: fox news has a series where we are examining

what happened with the withdrawal and honoring the lives of those 13 americans who fought valiantly there to protect the innocent people in afghanistan and were blown up in that suicide bombing at the abby gate. one of them, we tried to highlight, we are highlighting all 1 of them each day will and today is a man by the name of marine corps patrol hunter lopez. his parents were interviewed about. he was only 22 years old. he was born in palm springs. and he is survived by his parents, his brother and his sister. here are his parents in this fox digits special. >> went above and beyond to try and help the fbi people. they could have easily, i think, stayed back these people needed a chance to make it out and to have a better life. they did it with no regards to their own lives.

>> kid. who would do that? mine did. >> steve: there you have the parents of corporal hunter lopez. a real patriot, so young, so handsome. so sad as you look at the other 13 brave americans who lost their lives about a year ago in afghanistan. >> brian: think about the president who at dover in the ceremony checks his watch maybe a dozen times as if to say i can't wait for this to be over. >> steve: watch the full fox news series examining the consequences of the military withdrawal from afghanistan at foxnews.com. >> ainsley: what kid would do this for their country mine did she said. >> thousands were flown in there to secure the airport. they knew they were susceptible to a terror attack.

>> ainsley: did you see the flag behind her. i assume that was the flag that was draped over his coffin. god bless their family. >> steve: 7:16 here now in the east. ashley joins us from new york city where, you know what? like a lot of towns in america, not safe outside. >> you know, it's not. we're going to talk about it. police actually soft on crime policy nasa are putting several suspected criminals back on the streets in, you guessed it, new york city. man accused of stabbing a stranger to death in a knife attack outside of a subway station is walking free after easily posting his $10,000 bail. and get this, a new york city judge allowing a teenager to go back on the streets on cashless bail even after police say they found the suspect in a stolen car with a loaded gun. his release comes despite warnings by far left d.a. alvin brag. the teen is a flight risk. the city of philadelphia will close nearly 120 schools early today due to a heat wave. schools also shut down early yesterday for the same reason.

philly's public school district announced it was monitoring buildings without sufficient cooling systems. almost 60% of schools in the district don't have adequate air conditioning systems according to district officials. and wall street giant goldman sachs is reportedly going back to work. in a memo obtained by the financial times the company officially announcing all employees must return to the office after lifting their entire covid protocol. the memo stating, quote. of. there is significantly less risk of severe illness. we continue to make progress bringing our people together in the office. the new rule will go into effect after the labor day weekend. and it was a tough day for some of tennis' biggest stars yesterday at the u.s. open. last year's winner emma losing her first round matchup and naomi osaka and venus williams also will fizzling in the first round. packing his bag during the game. but he will get $80,000 for his

>> brian: near 11.2 million jobs are available for americans. those looking for work are only up a fraction of that number. the august jobs report comes out tomorrow -- excuse me on friday. and expected to reveal the unemployment rate of 3.5%. we don't know the exact number. fox news contributor and professor of business and economics at kings college brian brenberg joins us right now. brian, we have got about 6 million people looking for work and open jobs. the math doesn't work. what is going on here. >> two open jobs for every one person looking. it's good to have open jobs. no question about that. but the problem right now is businesses are frustrated to the

max by the fact that they can't find workers. we still have so many workers sitting on the sidelines right now. if you look at a number, labor participation rate it's lower today than it was before the pandemic started. that's a problem. about a percentage point lower which means we are 3 million jobs behind where we should be. businesses feel that. they are having to raise wages to try to get workers in the doors but that keeps pushing inflation higher that makes the fed jobs harder increase rates more. that's where that recession risk comes. we are sitting on the brink of a deeper recession because of this issue. >> brian: brian, what changed besides the pandemic? this was not the problem in 2019. >> no, no. we did not have this problem at all. the government has handed out so many benefits, one on top of the other. >> brian: and forgiven. >> over the last two years and the latest student debt handout. all of theses things pile on and keep people on the sidelines.

that's why businesses are sitting here saying i'm hanging a shingle out. trying to get workers. i can't convince them to come in because i have got to pay them so much to make up for all these benefits. >> brian: when you look at what we can expect. we had a surprising number over 500,000 jobs in the last job period. now we see expecting 300,000 on friday? is that what you are looking at. >> i think a little lower than that. some saying higher. i think lower because i'm seeing signs that this labor market is cooling a little bit. i'm getting really nervous about the federal reserve increasing interest rates again. it's going to make things much more costly for people. they are trying to slow down the economy. eventually that feeds into businesses saying you know what? i have got to pull these open positions because if i keep them up, i'm not going to have the demand for my product. >> brian: i understand 5.6 million people looking for jobs and 11.2 million job openings. take a look at the millennials. millennials getting poorer since the last recession. other age groups become wealthier up to 60%.

why is that? >> what's so interesting. and this goes back to student debt again. you think about millennials and how much they paid for college. college costs are way too high. that eats into their ability to build wealth plus, older generations over the past several years because of stock market has been up benefited from that younger workers didn't benefit from that. but the problem here is millennials are saddled with the debt, nothing we are doing right now is dealing with that core problem. the student debt handout isn't dealing. >> brian: the interest rate on that debt is way too high. almost predatory. >> it is high. the principle balance is too high. there is just too much of it period. but instead of throwing away the debt we should be talking about why colleges aren't delivering value and overcharging and the answer is because government is handing too much money out. >> brian: there are affordable colleges out there. much more affordable. you can't go to a $70,000 a year school. >> go to school that preps you earn the money to pay that debt. >> brian: that would make sense. thank you so much.

♪ >> steve: there is a new report revealing that that man right there the democratic pennsylvania senate candidate john fetterman sends his kids to an expensive private school while in public he has in the past opposed school vouchers for less of a opportunity families. saying in 2018, quote: i do not support expansion of publicly funded charter schools to money away from public schools and putting them into charter and private schools does not solve anything. really? let's talk to boys latin of philadelphia charter school co-founder and senior fellow at the commonwealth foundation david p. hardy who joins us from the filly area. david, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thanks for having me. steve you bet. it's great that mr. fetterman can afford to send his kids to that expensive school but a lot of people who would like school

choice can't afford that. >> okay. first of all, mr. fetterman needs a primmer in school choice because he is confusing charter schools and vouchers. charter schools are public schools. me are privately run public schools. the voucher allows the student to take public money and go to a private school like he did. now, remember, this guy was the mayor of his town. and he sent his kids out of that town to a private school. >> steve: right. >> and left all the other kids there. you know, that's not a good look for him. >> steve: yeah, no kidding. and you are at a charter school, which receives public money and so you are not in the same boat as, for instance, the catholic schools, the parochial schools. >> no. >> steve: the religious schools. they would and during the pandemic we did some stories about how their enrollment were taking off because suddenly parents were unable to send their kids to a physical school

in the public sphere and so they wound up going to the catholic school but they had to pay on their own dime and that's not fair. if you are going to pay taxes for education, why not make it a voucher so you can take it to the catholic school or take it to another private school and spend the same money where you can get a better education often. >> well, it's part of the hypocrisy. they make people think that the only way to fund public education is to do it through government-run schools. and that's just not the case. we don't do that for food. we don't do that for housing. we don't do that for healthcare. we don't have to do it for education either. we can have multiple ways of educating multiple options. many sectors. i think one thing this pandemic has showed us that there are lots of ways to skin this cat. and we need to start making sure we fund them all. >> steve: absolutely. ultimately though, mr. fetterman is a democrat, as joe biden is. and one of his constituencies, the school unions.

this really is a protect the school unions thing, isn't it? >> it's a very difficult situation for democrats to be in. because there is a lot of democrats, including joe biden and our current governor of pennsylvania and our gubernatorial candidate who all send their kids to private school and went to private school themselves. they're two generations away. i would say our current governor hasn't had a family member in public school since before pearl harbor. the point here is that we need to get people to stop acting like there is a -- there isn't a reason to get away from those schools. if you go to a public school, it's a monopoly. and their job is to keep things as minimalized as possible. that's where the monopoly does. but what happens is if you have money you can start to do things. you can hire a tutor if you have money. can you buy a house in a better school district if you have money.

can you send your kid to private school if you have money. but if you are poor, you are stuck. and mr. fetterman and mr. biden and mr. need to understand their policies are hurting the poor. that's who gets hurt in this. >> steve: your analysis is so spot on. i haven't heard some people describe it so clearly it thank you for joining us today. >> thank you, steve, for having me. have a great day. >> steve: you bet. great meeting you. we did reach out to fetterman's campaign for a statement. but do you know what? hasn't gotten back to us. if he does, we will let you know. meanwhile, coming up, people are flocking to florida. experts say red states are winning the post pandemic recovery. so we sent lawrence jones to florida to find out if that's true. >> you don't get to live your life twice so the most important decision you make is where do you live? where do you raise your family. >> steve: all right. lawrence jones just got sent on the company dime to go to miami.

that are actually turning. >> ainsley: what i found though so many people when we were growing up their destination was new york. they wanted big city life. they thought they had made it when they get to new york. now can you believe so many people are now moving and they are saying i don't miss it at all. >> lawrence: i think people are moving mostly because of the crime. i mean, florida, you know, is at a record low for the murders. i had an interesting conversation with the mayor. for the first two years when he was in office. every time a child was murdered. within 2 had hours, he would go to the spot they were murdered and run a 5 k. he wanted the people to understand that he cared about the issue as a result the police surged resources there and now they have the lowest murder rate. >> ainsley: people moved down there during the pandemic and they thought they were happier and cheaper. >> beautiful. >> brian: tv series green acres saw people leave the city and have such fulfillment. >> steve: they went to rural america not south florida. it's fantastic.

and then you have got reality. and princess diana ripped down the facade and suddenly realized that there's another woman that she is expected to just put up and shut up. and she did all of this in public. and, of course, that made her a threat to the image of the royal family. her death is so shocking because so many of us actually went through the same process that she did, except we are not famous. we don't have millions of light bulbs and camera lenses looking at us. >> ainsley: what do you think the fate of her children would have been today if she had still been alive? >> princess diana was on a real journey and part of the tragedy of her death was that she died at exactly the time when she was becoming a woman of substance. she decided, look, i'm not the fairy tale parenthesis. i'm going to be a human rights leader. i'm going to talk about issues. i'm going to be clear that being a mother to my two sons is a

huge priority in my life. i think so much trauma and pain and suffering on the part of everyone around her not least her two sons the princes would have been spared because everyone would have adjusted to her journey. she was on her way to being a really admiral figure in her own right. and the immediate aftermath of her death and watching those two young boys having to kind of maintain a poker face at the funeral was so shocking. >> ainsley: yeah. she was in a loveless marriage and felt misunderstood and she was the underdog and we were all pulling for her. thank you so much. we can't wait to watch it it's called "scandalous, the killing of a princess" if you want to see this go to fox nation. south dakota's governor kristi noem is going to join us live at the top of the hour. ♪ ♪

review this material. the government writing in this filing, "the plaintiff's motion to appoint a special master fails for multiple independent reasons. the government is also developing evidence that government records were likely concealed then removed to obstruct the investigation." the former president has continued to claim that this is a political witch hunt and of course that he doesn't want the third party to review what was seized. he says the agents went too fired. trump supporters are also supporting this claim. we heard one earlier this morning on "fox & friends." >> now they've blocked a third party individual from being there with them to go through documents and make sure they have only what they are supposed to have. so unfortunately this is probably just going to add fuel to the fire for so many people who believe this was conducted improperly. >> but the officials went to great lengths to make sure this was done properly and they want to make sure that the surge was the last

resort. they already told them they were no more classified documents being kept at mar-a-lago. meanwhile, as the attorney general, merrick garland, defends the fbi investigation, he is also issuing memos banning political appointees from partisan events and warning personnel not to go behind the department's back and communicate with congress directly. in his memo he writes, "we must do all we can to maintain public trust and that politics do not compromise the integrity of our work. we are hearing about a retired fbi agents, lawyers for timothy tebow are defending his work after his lawyers call the allegations false. they write, "he firmly believes that any investigation will conclude that his supervision, and leadership were not impacted by political bias or partisanship of any kind." believe already heard from lawmakers who say they have a lot of questions about what's

happening behind the scenes at the justice department, and while the former president has kept a fairly low profile, he's been posting on social media ever since the search earlier this month, we would hear from him this weekend because he's holding a political rally in the most important state that seems to be going into the midterms, pennsylvania. >> steve: do you notice how they turn off the blower just as you conclude your report? >> it's amazing. at the same time, it's a beautiful morning here. not as good as dakota dunes, but no complaints. >> brian: remember the days they used to use a broom? now they just use a blower. >> ainsley: to sweep the gr grass? >> brian: to clear the sidewalk, to let the press in. >> ainsley: it sounds like a lawn mower, though. >> they are doing a bunch of construction right now. i'll be honest with you, it's not the best, but we have this backdrop. i can't complain. >> ainsley: it's a big house. it takes a lot of maintenance. >> brian: what are the building, a shed?

shot. real quick, let's go to florida if you don't mind and talk about the doj responding to the effort the trump team is wanting to do to find out about a special master. evidently the doj doesn't want it, and because of that they've released a very specific information on why they believe it was really necessary for them to do this raid. they gave some pictures and leasing pictures of documents on the ground. they say they have a reason to believe that some of these documents were moved or would be concealed, and they had no choice to go in because i guess one of their whistle-blowers came out and said there was an effort to conceal. so do you feel as though this is now justified? >> i'll tell you what, the one thing i've heard across this country, republicans, democrats, the public, they don't trust the doj and they want this to be transparent. they don't think they need a special master to come in and look at this, that's ridiculous. hiding these documents and this information, keeping it within the doj is wrong.

it needs to be transparent so people can build trust back in the fbi and the doj and what they're doing. >> steve: ultimately comes down to what he had all that secret stuff at mar-a-lago. i know his team said that they've declassified it, but that's news to the agencies that those documents belong to. and, governor, he had apparently three classified documents in his desk, and as brain detailed, the stuff on the floor, it shows five yellow folders marked top-secret and another says secret sci, which means sensitive compartmentalized information. those are the biggest secrets in the world. apparently the former president went through them in january. why wouldn't he say, "you know what? i need to turn that back over." why would he have all that stuff at mar-a-lago? >> i think that's why it's important that this is transparent and have someone outside of the doj looking at this and talking to people.

what is this information? we don't know what was in there, and i believe president trump declassified all this information. let's find out really what the process is, what is right, what is precedent that other presidents have followed, and make sure that this is done correctly. >> steve: i don't think any president is ever carted off that many documents to their house after they left the presidency. >> brian: well, it was no secret. we have seen the video. it was out in front. if he was trying to conceal something, he did a pretty terrible job, because you see all the boxes and hand trucks loading onto the chopper. >> i guess the question to you is what was in those dark was it folders. do we know? we deserve to know. i don't know if the doj and fbi can be trusted to tell us what was in there. you can see folders, big words. do we know that's really what president trump brought to his home? do we know that he put them there? dimino it's inside? that's why i think it's important that the doj bringing

someone who is outside of this, a neutral individual that can look at this and really build some trust back in our justice system. this has been a political fight against president trump. they've attacked him for years and years. they want to destroy him. that is why we can't trust them to do this alone. >> ainsley: when will they tell us what's in the documents, the day before the election? >> i'm guessing, or the day after. this is all political. they've been picking at this issue for years and years and they'll use it to their advantage to see what they can do to manipulate an election again. >> they said they have their own vetting team go through it. so to me, a special master would be a godsend to the parent of justice because somebody would come outside and back up that they are so confident. >> that's exactly right. we haven't been told who's on that team, how they picked them, how they're qualified to be there. we don't know any of that. a special master would be incredibly important to bring in at this time. >> ainsley: governor, i know you've been very vocal about

trying to lift some of these vaccine mandates. you and 17 of the governors from around the country, republicans, have written a letter to joe biden saying, what is that we are allowing the immigrants to come in and they don't have to show a vaccine paper or prove that they are vaccinated, but you have people like djokovic or anyone from another country that comes over and they do have to prove that? it is such hypocrisy and they've been called out on this. where are we? when will they recognize that this is not fair and doesn't make sense? have you heard back from the administration? >> you know, it's interesting. i'm so thankful this has happened to a tennis player so the public is well aware of what's going on, because we've been dealing with this for months and years now. where other countries had lifted a vaccine mandates, we still have one in the united states of america for people coming in. so for us it's been hurting our economy in south dakota. we are growing at ten times the national average. we've got the best economy in the country, but the problem is

i have people from canada that want to come in and started business in south dakota, they are tired of the policies they are. they can't get here to do site visits, they can't come in and visit with my executives, because they are not vaccinated. we have people that want to come in and be workers and fill the 27,000 open jobs i have in south dakota, but they can't come because they're not vaccinated. it's hurting my work force, it's hurting my business recruitment, and it's been going on and on and it's ridiculous. with us, and our state right now people are more interested in south dakota than they've ever been, and this kind of policy the united states has is out of date and out of touch. i have called it 17 different governors on the administration to lift this mandate. we have asked them to do that now and my entire congressional delegation is supportive, as well. it's time they do that and get in line with europe and canada, all these other countries. >> brian: governor, we have a president, a first lady, and

anthony fauci. what do they all have in common? they got four shots. what do they have in common? over the last month they've had not only the coated virus but a recurrence while having treatment for it. at the same time, they are telling people from outside that want to come to this country to visit or work that it's too dangerous for you to come. at the same time they have left millions of people coming interest of imported. maybe you should grab a clipboard and go to the southern border and grab one of the venezuelans are guatemalans and say, how would you like to come and work here? or just wait for the president to finance a bus ride to south dakota. >> the hypocrisy is unbelievable to me. i've sent my national guard to the board to help secure what's going on down there. people are being walked across, facilitated by the federal government, and helped to come into our country without any vaccination history or health checks. meanwhile, at every of the border from a v of the country we're not letting the men because they haven't had their shots. >> brian: can't do it in

canada. >> a near close to canada so a lot of canadians want to come into south dakota. they want to move here. some of them -- >> they can't even come visit the grandkids or their kids. >> brian: the president wants to ride his bike so he clearly can't get through to him. we can't meet him at the border. >> steve: he needs to make sure he wears a helmet because it is not good at riding the bike sometimes. governor, if you are the other 16 governors here from the administration about your letter, let us know. in the meantime, thank you for joining us. it looks like you are right on the lawn of the capitol building. >> that's what it looks like. [laughter] i'm not, though. >> steve: tv magic! >> i spent the night at my ranch last night because i was in sioux falls all day, and i'm going to work in watertown today. i got up and looked out the window and watched the sunrise over my buffalo, it was beautiful. >> ainsley: that is so cool. >> brian: we didn't.

own brian kilmeade posting the show last week. i watched, it was great. i will go with that, brian. [laughs] >> brian: i've got to see the pie chart but i believe i do deserve the credit. >> you know how he is. he is -- i mean -- >> i think you did great! >> ainsley: greg gutfeld is so smart. it's totally different from this show. >> brian: but just to the bigger story, if there is one, i think the bigger story is the difference between greg gutfeld -- i flip around at night, i will dvr a lot of them. it's funny. he's not advocating, he's got a point of view and stuff in the news. the others, most of their monologues you don't even laugh. they clapped. "donald trump is terrible, he's really terrible, the worst," and they just clap and get a star on an them they'll make roll a movie. that's not his format.

>> steve: number when it late-night. >> ainsley: congratulations. we are so proud of you, that's amazing. >> steve: he's on vacation. he is probably going to get up at noon. >> ainsley: i'm sure he watches her show. >> brian: i don't think so. >> ainsley: he doesn't, really? >> brian: i don't think he knows we have a morning show. i think he thinks it's a repeat of "the ingraham angle." >> ainsley: well, there's always dvr. >> steve: congratulations, greg gutfeld. >> brian: wherever you are. >> steve: the president has backing the blue in his new speech, but members of his own party have shown support for defunding the police, including his own vice president. the hypocrisy of that, coming up next on "fox & friends."

murray doing this now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> they have a problem with their message when it comes to police. do they want to fund or defund? it depends who you talk to you in the democratic party. >> of course, and the parties all over the place on the issue. the interesting thing in this intervention from joe biden is this that in one way, this is really quite clever politics by biden. he has looked at the figures, he has seen that the whole defund the police message is just toxic for his party. it is kryptonite in the polls. most people including from minority communities do not want less police on the streets, they want more and better police. biden has seen that and he's having to do this very abrupt geared change on behalf of his party. he is using, as we said, two things to his advantage. he's using january 6th, and now the raid at mar-a-lago as some kind of evidence that his party,

the democrats, are the party of law and order and somehow the republicans are the party of disorder. and that is obviously a complete rewriting of recent history. i mean, it's always interesting to see the democrats' new newfound love of the fbi, but he's hoping he can claim the mantle of the party of law and order and hoping that our memories in america don't stretch back even two years. anyone whose memory does stretch back two years will remember that in the summer of 2020 the democrat party was far and away defunding the police, and it was all defunding the police in those days. >> ainsley: and you can gloss over what kamala harris has done. she was tweeting after the riots in 2020 for people in minnesota to give to the bail fund so those people that were arrested could get out. in one of the guys, sean tillman, 33 years old, he's accused now of killing.

here's his picture. >> this is the same bail fund stuff as hollywood actors and other celebrities pouring their cash into you, because they knew just like kamala harris that they were never going to meet the people released on bail for these massive funds that they were raising to release people. they knew they would never meet these people. they never come to their gated communities. but the american people are going to have to meet these people on the street. kamala harris and others like her on the left in america, in those days in 2020, they were all for this. all for asking people to contribute to bail funds, all for attacking the police. the idea that now two years later we are just going to forget about that for the midterms, i think it's laughable. >> thank you so much for coming on with us. >> it's a great pleasure. >> still ahead, the department of justice believes there is no need for a special master to

the fbi raid at mar-a-lago as it accuses the trump team of removing and concealing documents, or indicated so much. it comes as a tough fbi agent resigns amid allegations of bias related to the hunter biden probe, an accusation he now denies and says he wasn't even on the case. here to react, the host of "unfiltered with dan bongino." your reaction to the revelations coming forward about what was or wasn't at mar-a-lago? >> let me say first, you know what i like about working here, there's a lot of different people with a lot of different opinions, even on the couch. i disagree strongly with people at the network who want to default to trusting the fbi, because i ask a question that i'm not suggesting this is you, of course, but why would you trust the fbi when it comes to trump? can you give me a reason, anyone? >> brian: zero. >> where have they shown any documented history of unbiased,

nonpartisan law-enforcement-type activity? the answer is in no trump case ever. so your default defense of the fbi is outrageous. let me just give you -- let's go through the list. let me give you another argument. first of all, we've got to trust the fbi? we don't have to trust the fbi. i don't. you want to trust the fbi? good luck. you have no record to back that up. you say it's just a few bad apples? is that? lets go through a list of people involved in either alleged corruption or document in corruption. jim comey, andy mccabe, bill priestap. had to write this down so i didn't forget them all. jim baker, lisa page, peter strzok, stephen semi, joe bianco, kevin clinesmith, brian otten, tim tebow, and those are just people you know about. some alleged, some documented, granted everyone is innocent until proven guilty, i believe that, but it's a rotten orchard,

not a bad apple. when you said the doj says they don't need a special master to review this, just trust us, we will review it ourselves with the fbi, you know it? i'm going to take a hard pass on that because we trusted you in the past and you told us that it was a pp tape, russian collusion, and a dnc hack, and you have backed up none of that. so give them a big zero on the credibility scale. >> brian: and let's talk about the lives they ruined. remember when they put papadapoulos into jail, man manafort, and he's going to have a hearing even today. so you have all his cfo of the company, and these investigations have been nonstop. then you have tebow today, whistle-blowers and the fbi blew the whistle on him, he had been set aside, "i'm going to retire," he gets walked out on friday, and that was the

baltimore office, the investigation and suppression of the laptop. i'm pretty sure we can give him the benefit of the doubt. let's look at this raid in particular. if i am the fbi and i'm the department of justice and i am so confident the president was so egregious we had to storm the gates after winning for three weeks and three days with this warrant, if i'm so confident, i welcome the special master. get me out of it. you check it out. but that's the picture -- >> i love the pictures they are showing, top-secret covers. they are covers. you are assuming, by the way that i get it, a lot of it is blacked out, rejected. i'm not stupid. but here's the point here, i dealt with a lot of classified material in the secret service, like motorcade routes. i've got news for you, after the route is run and 100,000 people saw the motorcade route, it's not classified any more. i'm not telling you those documents are classified,

because i'm not a leftist media loser who jumps to conclusions. i'm simply telling you jumping to the conclusion and assuming the fbi story that it is classified as equally dumb. not to mention there is precedent here. we deal with legal precedent. as a 2012 case, everybody can believes it out. judge amy berman jackson, and the clinton case where he allegedly had classified documents, where judge jackson said the president has the sole discretion. to manage his own records, and to say what's personal and what's not. that's really funny how that is left out of all the analysis, and everybody, even some friends of mine on the network, just say, "hey, it's classified." and you know that how? you are just assuming because the fbi told you that. so you're just assuming. you don't actually know any of that. by the way, you ignore that it is sole discretion. one more thing about tebow, by the way. he may be telling the truth and he may not, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt because i'm interested in facts.

but the whistle-blower, if he's telling the truth, he's risking his job by saying what tebow did. by lying, he could save his job. so when you look at a balance of motives, you need to keep that in mind. tebow needs to lie to keep his job. he may be telling the truth, he may not. but the whistle-blower could lose his job by telling the truth and saying here's what happened at the fbi. so let's be careful before we jump -- >> brian: if i'm an fbi agent, i would love to say, "listen, i have a huge problem with what's happening here," but i don't go to christopher wray. senator ron johnson, senator chuck grassley, jim jordan. they have a credibility on the line. evidently he was corroborated. they said he rose to public attention is 1 of 13 assistant special agents investigating biden's laptop. he was like, these people say it was done by the baltimore bureau. okay. they did something seemingly pretty unsavory to suppress information rather than pick up

the phone and say, "hey, hunter, is this your email? devon archer, is this your email? can we find out the businessman at the other end of this in china, ukraine, russia, romania, or whatever?" no if it was done. suppression was made. a year and half later it turns out it was true, even bill barr brings it up and says, "guys, is really that bad? we have to suppress a story in order to get him elected?" and he didn't vote for him. to see the big picture, and i neglect to see the fbi fight it out in front of us so we could find out who's right. appreciate it. >> i'm just acting dumb like asking people down's equities. mark zuckerberg says they pressured him about russian disinformation, deep stater signed a letter to make it go away, and they say they're suppressing the story, and you still have people in the media like, "i'm really not sure i believe it." that's because you don't want to believe it, that's why.

you've got to view it as an investigator, not as a partisan sometimes. and the truth will come to light. >> brian: and the genius retreated some social media that shows exactly what he stood, same as peter strzok's text messages, and lisa page. make sure to watch your show on saturday night at 9:00, dan bongino, "unfiltered." coming up straight ahead, another migrant bus arrives in washington, d.c., this morning and the biden administration or poorly foots the bill for the trip from texas. nicole malliotakis reacts live. ♪

making billions and billions of dollars and are incentivized to human trafficking and drug trafficking, and fentanyl as you know has become the number one killer of 18 to 45-year-old americans and we know it's coming from the drug cartels, manufactured in mexico. this president has also stopped the barrier construction. he has reinstated catch and release. he refuses to require that the migrants remain in mexico waiting for their silent date. so he's created this crisis single-handedly. >> steve: sure, and that's the irony when the mayor says, "that darn awful republican governor!" when you look at the numbers of the number of people who have been bused to new york from washington, d.c., in washington, d.c., as of a couplf days ago it was about 7500. here in new york city, about 1800. we are under the impression that close to 7,000 or 8,000 migrants

come across our southern border every day. so if new york city is complaining about a quarter of the number of people that come across every day coming to new york city ultimately, maybe this isn't such a sanctuary city after all. >> well, look, the mayor should be calling on the president of his own party to stop this chaos. as we've said, millions have crossed, there's a 300% increase over when president trump was in office, and instead our mayor and governor are incentivizing illegal immigration. you have the mayor putting up people in fancy hotels upwards of $700 a night, costing the taxpayers $300 million. you have a governor providing free health care to illegal immigrants when you have senior citizens who are struggling to pay for the medicare. you have payouts of $2 billion in stimulus checks when you have a single mother who has three children earning $90,000.

would have fun with this. i'm sure he's humiliated, because of how aggressive he has come out against ron desantis. there's a possibility, guys, that this could be a presidential election in 2024 or 2028. these guys don't like each other and they had such diametrically opposed perspectives when it comes to covid. california and gavin newsom got everything wrong, and florida and ron desantis got everything right on the data. i think deep in his heart, gavin newsom knows that, and he is so bothered by it that he can't stop talking about governor ron desantis of florida. but obviously his own in-laws see through the lies. >> steve: and $5,000 is probably what it would cost to have a big dinner at the french laundry. >> ainsley: maybe just for the wine. >> steve: can you imagine -- if gavin newsom's in-laws have already given

ron desantis $5,000, can you imagine if ron desantis runs for president against gavin newsom? and the in-laws cut a video for her, that's right, ron desantis? "we are gavin newsom's in-laws and leasing them up close and this is what we think." >> there is no way imaginable that could happen. i would love it, don't get me wrong. that would be riveting. remember, i gave gavin newsom credit. remember when he showed up at the white house as soon as joe biden left with his sleeves rolled up and he walked around? it was so disrespectful that i had to respect it. this would be that level of disrespect from his in-laws. if they truly hate them and their daughter chose to marry and they just wanted to declare war against him, there's that great video. he didn't even go when joe biden was there. he might have been in the oval office kicking his feet up on the resolute desk, smoking a cigar out in the rose garden,

and this is one of the most disrespectful moves. i've never heard of anybody who was an actual politician visiting the white house the day after the president went overseas. this would be amazing if his in-laws came out against him. >> ainsley: i'm sure -- imagine the first time they met gavin newsom. when she was like, "i'm going to bring on this guy i'll probably marry one day. he's a democrat." but you have to respect them for saying -- they probably say, "we love you, you're married to her daughter and you're the father of our grandchildren, but we have to stand on our principles, and we want to give money to a party that we believe is best for this country." >> i think that's probably true, and the reality is we try to create this narrative that everybody is in a silo of red or blue. the reality is for most families when they go to thanksgiving or they go to christmas or they celebrate the new year, there are people who voted both ways in the larger collective family,

because that's what happens in a 50/50 nation. but i definitely know this drives gavin newsom bonkers. >> brian: or you could be governor local, and if you don't vote for me or agree with me, leave the state. we look forward to hearing what you have to say on the radio show. thanks so much. >> ainsley: and thanks for watching. go listen to brian's radio show. >> brian:3 >> dana: d.o.j. accused president trump of hiding confidential documents. >> trace: this is "america's newsroom." the d.o.j. filing its most detailed account of the raid so far. it comes in response to the former president's request for an independent special master to review the documents seized from his home. >> dana: the d.o.j. opposes that motion. a federal judge holds the hearing tomorrow
