chris wallace pushed secretary mayorkas on the idea why they let them into the country to begin withnna sort them out and send some back, most of them did not come from haiti we reported on fox many have torn up the documents showing the country they came from because they think they can be deported back to haiti because of what is happening there. so once someone steps foot on our soil we can take them back to mexico if they're not from mexico. that's why remain in mexico was an important policy and is not allowing people to cross the border until we know they should be here and it's an important thing to do so the border patrol workers that are on horseback doing the last ditch effort to people and tricky people crossing the river, once people get here they will stay here through the adjudication process of the haitian migrants we might have a legal process to send them back because of what's happening in their own judicial system they worked against us in that scenario. it's an emergent problem and why it's so bad that were demonizing the people who are last line of defense in doi

. >> martha: hector, i want this sound bike with chris wallace and alejandro mayorkas where he admitted the number went up by 2,000 in the middle of the answer. listen to this closely. >> how many have been released into the u.s.? >> they're released on conditions. president i think about 10,000 or so. 12,000. >> have been released? >> yes. >> when we talk about a total of 12,000 or could be higher? it. >> could be higher. >> hector, your thoughts. >> we're not getting the full information from secretary mayorkas. i can tell you the numbers of people that we released here in the u.s. over 12,000 haitians that have been allowed to stay. many are family units with children. there's a lot of haitians that were pregnant. we're also allowing single adult males and females to stay in the united states. unfortunately that catch and release program is the number 1 pull factor of why people come to the united states illegally. >> martha: when you look at the reasons for people coming and the incentive that is here for them, that if they get across -- i'm thinking of the border patrol on horsebac

chris wallace is anchor of "fox news sunday" and author of the new book countdown bin laden. i want to get to that in a moment. it reads so strong and fast. let's start with where we are on the ground in afghanistan. you've covered this white house and many white houses. why now suddenly come forth with the revelation that we can't get done what we need to because we don't have anybody on the ground? jen psaki didn't seem like she wanted to answer that. >> it is a recognition of reality. we don't have anybody on the ground and as distasteful and horrifying as it is we have to do business with the taliban, we do have 100 or so americans there. we do have tens of thousands of our afghan allies, the drivers, the translators, the cooks who stood up, defended the u.s. over these 20 years and now stuck there. we can't go in or at least we aren't going to go in and invade and get them out. we'll have to find some accommodation with the taliban and i'm not sure -- you know, leaving yourself to the tender mers east of the taliban isn't an appetizing choice but they are the only game i

chris wallace. >> thank you so much for having me. >> is there a meaningful distinction, you're an expertthese matters but for us normal viewers between the taliban, al-qaeda and isis. >> there is definitely a distinction that the al-qaeda obviously was the group of the islamic jihadists that perpetrated 9/11. isis is a rival group in the taliban is a rival group allied with al-qaeda but at odds with isis. i've got to tell you something that is in my new book and told for the first time goes directly to your point about joe biden. you know how i fear for bob gates the defense secretary wrote in his memoir that joe biden had been wrong about every major foreign policy decision for the last 40 years. he had said that to people in the administration they're having a meeting in the situation room, are they going to go attack bin laden at the compound, they don't know he's there or not and biden gates are the only two top officials who speak out about this and on the way back to the pentagon gates is riding back with the chairman of the joint chiefs mike mullen and he says you've told me that

chris wallace pressing secretary mayorkas about the investigation into the photos that many democrats are claiming depict border agents on horseback whipping migrants. we know that's not true. this despite the photographer even who took the pictures who says that's not true. >> the facts that are determined will drive the outcome. nothing less and nothing more. what those images suggest, what they appeared to portray was horrifying and that i think deserves attention. >> can the border patrol count on you and president biden who said the people will pay to come to a determination based on the facts and not based on twitter outrage? >> they sure can. >> harris: he went on to profess love for the border patrol and the anchor there jake tapper said you should tell the president. he should. last week president biden called the photographs outrageous and said quote, unquote, those people will play consequences he threatened them with. tulsi gabbard said the president has already decided the outcome. >> he needs to apologize to the american people for saying what he said. what he essentiall

secretary alejandro mayorkas chris wallace's guest on "fox news sunday." check your local listings. that is it for "special report" this week fair balanced and still unafraid. a lot of news coming at you this week. we have got you covered. thanks for trusting us. "fox news primetime" hosted by pete hegseth starts right now. hey, pete. >> pete: hey, bret. i want to thank you in advance for agreeing to be our 6:30 a.m. guest on "fox & friends." >> bret: did i agree? >> pete: email is in inbox check it. >> bret: have a good weekend. >> pete: good evening, america 7 p.m. on the east coast and7 p. i'm your host pete hegseth. tonight we look at the once buffaloing boom town known as bidenville. it had so much promise and growing population, tents as far as the eye could see. but alas a third world city sprung up under a bridge under del rio, texas is no more. that's right, a week after it sprung up, the illegal town of bidenville once no more for now. just look at the stark contrast in these imams on your screen of what this camp looked like on tuesday compared to now. they even brought i

justice breyer giving chris wallace his answer, he's not going anywhere, saying it's not the right timeo you think of those calls? >> well, i think that they're entitled to their opinion. [laughter] and not only do they understand the political world better than i, here we are. what else do you want me to say? chris: you they would say you ignored those calls and increased the chances that a republican senate will be there to confirm your successor. >> i mean, there are factors, there are many factors, in fact, wife, and the role of the -- quite a few, and the role of the court is one of them. arthel: justice breyer is one of three liberal justices on the court. some democrats say he should step down can while a democrat is in the white house along with a democrat-controlled senate to make sure another liberal gets put on the bench. eric: we're just days away from getting new numbers from cutses to board -- customs and border control getting new help at the border. the august numbers could easily set another record. christina coleman has more, she's live on the worlder in hidalgo, texas

airports are we cannot say with certainty that these are the six planes that congressman mentioned to chris wallace there are six airplanes in that photograph. afghan officials told the press that many afghans are board the plane, the use official told fox news work is being done to identify those on the planes to see who they are in where they're from. fox news correspondent jennifer griffin took an exclusive tour with joint chief chairman general mark milley of the ramstein airbase were evacuees are being held in jennifer asked the general if he believed u.s. troops will have to go back into afghanistan. >> i don't know if the taliban can establish governments, they may be moving on but is a good probability and that will then lead to commissions that could in fact be the reconstitution of al-qaeda or isis or other terrorist groups. >> just a few days ago before the 20th anniversary of the september 11 attacks president biden who spent the weekend in wilmington when family is defending his decision to withdraw all troops before the anniversary including the state department officials. there are 1

please join chris wallace for "fox news sunday." he will have an exclusive interview this weekend. stephen breyer stay tuned for complete coverage of the 20th anniversary of 9/11. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still, 20 years later unafraid. "fox news primetime" hosted this week by rachel campos-duffy starts right now. hey, rachel. >> rachel: thank you, bret. good evening and welcome to "fox news primetime." ♪ ♪ >> rachel: each rachel campos-duffy. make no mistakes. joe biden declared war on freedom yesterday and took authoritarianism to a whole new level by forcing vaccines on millions of americans. biden threw the constitutional out the window as he issued medical mandates for federal employees. schools, and even private businesses. but apparently kamala harris didn't get the memo. >> when people are able to make choices without government interference for themselves in terms of their well-being, and the well-being of their family in consultation with whomever they may choose, we are a stronger society. >> n

coming from terrorist groups who are going to find safe haven in afghanistan and our colleague, chris wallace homeland from afghanistan, this is going to be a big, big problem for the biden administration. paul: i agree with you. looks like you are on it and looks like you have answers and paying attention to the issue of afghans and americans left behind, certainly. going into september, what's -- what's the -- what's the antidote for the president? is it congressional success, passing your agenda even if you can't get all of it or pushing the infrastructure deal through even if the left doesn't like it? what do you suggest? karl: well, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the bif, it can be a win for him but it ain't going to be a pretty win. it can help him. it's not the end all be all and only gotten it because he has gotten republican support and it's limited. i think more importantly the battle over raising the debt ceiling which is highly partisan and draw people's attention to the fact that we have an enormous problem brewing with regard to the amount of money that our government owes

i thought it was interesting, chris wallace followed up by saying you are releasing these thousands of relying on them to show for a court date. many of them, almost half of them based on doj numbers do not. what about that and mayorkas said well, you have got trust the system. i'm paraphrasing. trust the system there are protocols in place. wallace followed up about there are 11 million plus illegal immigrants a lot of them didn't follow the system and then mayorkas said, well, of course, the system is broken. trust the system that of course is broken more incoherence this time on a different front from the biden administration. >> bret: harold, barring congressional action here it, seems like we are going to be going around in this circle a lot. >> that's because we are, look, secretary mayorkas is nice. seems smart and definitely decent. he is not the man you want managing a i was crew. we have a crisis at our border. i think at some point when you are in the middle of a crisis, political parties it's incumbent upon them to sit back and say let's figure out what we are for, what eac

chris wallace is the anchor of fox news sunday and he joins us now to tell us more about the book ando dig into the full bit more. >> obviously this was time for the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and it never occurred to me that the group that was in charge of afghanistan in 2001 would be in charge of afghanistan in 2021. but i think it a funny way it actually makes the story of our successful mission to hunt down and kill bin laden even that much more important. a lot of people, myself included, feel pretty bad about the way our longest war ended but this was an important success. it's why we went into afghanistan in first place, to kill bin laden and decapitate al qaeda and prevent an attack from afghanistan on the u.s. homeland. we were successful in doing that for 20 years. >> dana: let me take around the table. not jesse? >> just two quick questions. bin laden was in pakistan so tell us about what went wrong there and what we knew and didn't know. it quickly there has been a big debate about what specific intelligence led us to the location. was it gained through waterboarding? what e

thank you. >> john: for more and thus we will bring an chris wallace anchor of "fox news sunday." asked it a pointed question of whether he bears responsibility for the situation in del rio. he deflected in through the border patrol under the bus. listen here. >> of course i take responsibility, i am president. but it was horrible to see what you saw. to see people treated like they did, and write at people being strapped. it's outrageous. i promise you those people will pay. >> john: not only did he change the subject, but he repeated what the photographer who took the photo says is a false narrative. nobody was strapped or whipped by the border patrol. >> i was kind of impressed with the speed that he pivoted from the border situation to going after the people on horseback. and you are exactly right. the photographer who took the picture said that they weren't being whipped. they were twirling because that's how they controlled the horses. i have to say i think it's a bad book saying people on horseback pushing back people coming over the border illegally. this comes to the whol
