originally the f.b.i. report indicating the violent crime rate estimate decreased from 2021 to 2022 by 2.1% rounded up. they adjusted the numbers that indicated the violent crime estimate actually increased 4.5%, a significant change. the biden administration, including the department of justice, cited these numbers from the f.b.i. and people thought violent crime decreased from 2021 to 2022. a narrative baked in for many months. we received a lengthy statement from the bureau. i can only read part of it. new data systems are in place to provide the public with more timely data. monthly data releases to provide an opportunity for consumers to review data based on more timely crime counts with the understanding that data will be continuously updated. as part of this movement the f.b.i. has moved toward automation allowing for past year's estimate to be updated when they were submitted. 2023 shows a decrease in violent crime from 2022 to 2023 by 3.5%. it is possible the bureau will update these numbers once

that's the case between the f.b.i. and us. the f.b.i. is a law enforcement and intelligence agency. that's the beauty of it. that's its strongest asset and the ability to protect against national security threats. but doing intelligence work in the space, that overlaps what we do. the reality is in practice, the f.b.i.'s focus is largely investive. they generate intelligence products out to the state and local partners about, you know, strategic intelligent threat topics. but their first mandate is to run the investigation. so whenever there's a question of a chinese spy you're in the united states. or a foreign terrorist threat or domestic terrorist threat. they're running those investigations down. and that's their primary focus. once again also in the intelligence circle, we don't have investigative power. we don't have search warrant authorities. we can't arizona people. we generate and share intelligence. we provide information to homeland security adviser for the commonwealth of virginia about the. looming threats in the united states and specifically in their area so that the

there is an afghan man who came to the united states in 2021 and the f.b.i. director said we have thwarted a terror plot saying the defendant motivated by isis conspired to commit a violent attack on election day in our homeland and proud of the men and women of the f.b.i. who uncovered and stopped the plot before anyone was harmed. terrorism is the f.b.i.'s number one priority and use any source to protect the american people. this is a generational problem, not something you solve immediately and you have to stay on offense all the time. they only have to be right once, we have to be right every single time. >> afghanistan, once we were in afghanistan and had military bases there we actually had on the ground intelligence in a way that we don't now. i worried a great deal our withdrawal from afghanistan might actually increase the terrorist threat. it is also the case that withdrawal was so chaotic i'm not surprised some people got through on visas that shouldn't have. good for the f.b.i. we have to remain vigilant. we're safer than we were on 9/11 but not

the f.b.i. believes, bill, there are many more and they are encouraging folks to call the f.b.i. >> bill: a lot of witnesses if it's true. >> dana: thanks, bryan. another story we could get a decision on the future of the menendez brothers by the send of this week pushing the los angeles district attorney to re-evaluate the infamous murders case. eric and lyle were sentenced to life in prison for shooting their parents in 1989. their attorney says new evidence shows the brothers were being abused by their father and feared they would be killed if they spoke out. both sides are pushing to get out the vote delivering their final pitches to those who are still making up their minds with early voting now underway in all 50 states and 13 days to go before election day. those are numbers we can use, bill. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. second hour begins. 19 million americans already casting a ballot as campaigns enter the final stretch. turnout

the f.b.i. investigation last year after the bbc revealed claims that mike jeffries and his partner matthew smith squally exploited and abused men at events that they hosted in their new york residences and hotels around the world. both men have previously denied any wrongdoing. >> mike jeffries, the man behind the global fashion brand. his vision made billions for abercrombie & fitch, luring teenagers with provocative ads like this. he stepped down in 2014 after running the country for two decades. he's now facing criminal charges. >> to anyone who thinks they can coerce and exploit others by using the so-called casting couch system, this case should serve as a warning. prepare to trade that couch for a bed in federal prison. >> this morning, the f.b.i. arrested the former fashion boss and his british partner in florida. an investigation was opened after the becomes revealed allegations of sexual exploitation. several men spoke out to say they were abused by the pair at events they hosted in ma

the f.b.i. had no comment to us on that request for an investigation. there is no place for calls for violence on our campuses. he remains temporarily banned until he takes training on conduct for employees. send it back to you. >> bill: still a story. thanks, lydia hu. >> dana: it's ridiculous. >> bill: talking about the dei piece at the university of michigan. times are changing. >> dana: hair yays faulkner is up next. >> harris: 18 days until

the f.b.i.there could be more victims. >> to anyone who thinks they can exploit and coerce others by using the so-called casting couch system, this case should serve as a warning. prepare to trade that couch for a bed in federal prison. why not do what thousands of veteran families have done. call newday and pay off that high rate debt with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan. it lets you pay off your credit cards and car loans with one easy monthly payment. get the cash you need and the peace of mind you deserve. so a customer shipped the original negatives of a classic elvis movie. not knowing the film would disintegrate above 40 degrees. fedex presents tall tales of true deliveries. ♪"burning love" by elvis presly♪ there it is! ♪ we got it... just in time. thank you very much! so basically elvis lives! long live the king! if this is what we did for film history, see what we can do for your business. fedex. it's time. yes, the time has come for a fresh approach to dog food. everyday, mo

the f.b.i. had the laptop.. >> bill: they said it was disinformation in october of 2020. the election that year is november 3rd. why is it worse than we know? >> well, because they had it for -- when they started this business about how i think it was october 14th if i'm remembering right that the "new york post" broke the hunter laptop story. by that point the bureau had had the laptop for ten months. it was very easily verified that it was actually hunter biden's laptop. they knew and the intelligence community knew that this was not a russian disinformation operation. this was hunter biden's authentic laptop data. and yet what they did was strong arm the social media platforms to suppress information about the laptop story and then the intelligence -- the national security agents, the 51 former agents, which included the top officials from the obama/biden intelligence community, used that story line to write their letter claiming that the laptop story was a russian influence operation, which president biden

allow the invasion of the southern border or the weaponization of the f.b.i. against donald trump.ist goes on and on. these argument now just fall flat with the american people because they've seen the side-by-side comparison and they know the truth. >> harris: wow, some really deep examples of that especially when you bring up virginia. what did they think would happen by letting illegals into this country? it is such a no-brainer that you might have to look out for that sort of thing with non-citizens trying to vote. former president trump courted the christian vote yesterday in georgia imploring them to cast a ballot. >> for whatever reason, christians are not tremendous voters in terms of percentage. if they were we would never lose an election. i think they are -- i think we've energized a lot of people this time because they've seen how bad it is. this last four years has been a horror show, >> harris: you know we brought this issue in focus on this program by having an evangelical round table a few days ago. new research found more than 100 million christian and evangelical

f.b.i. working to figure out if he was radicalized before he came to the united states or after. turns out it was before he came to the u.s. and was allowed here and then planned an attack, it raises more serious questions. we've reached out to the department of homeland security to see if there are any updates since secretary mayorkas on sunday. >> dana: he said he could out last jackui heinrich. >> good luck. >> dana: thank you, david. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: bill, a cold bat turns red hot at just the right time. watch. >> first two r.b.i.s of this pro-season. sends one high and deep to center field. did he get it? back on it is thomas. he is at the wall. he got it. it's a two-run home run. aaron judge finally connects. his first home run of this postseason. >> dana: aaron judge blasted a two-run home in the second game last night capping a yankee's within against the cleveland guardians. his third r.b.i.enter the yankees lead the series two games to none. his third r.b.i. ? i know what that means. he is not very good. >> bill: he is a player. they go back to cleveland.

we need to up the f.b.i. budget which quite frankly your party is trying to take away from.e need more f.b.i. agents in the state. why? because it will help fight crime in indian country. the bomb line is this though, tim, if you really feel this way about native americans, you ought to apologize for the statement you made about them that were totally inaccurate. but yet, you won't. and you're going to say they were cutout or taken out of form. the tape once again. and you didn't think anybody was missing but believe people when they say stuff in a backroom. john: mr. sheehy. tim: it was a gathering of about five dozen people there. but the reality is insensitive. i come from the military as many of our travel members do. we make insensitive jokes and off-color. i'm indument. i'll take accountability but let's not distract in the issue that they are suffering. and the bill that i wasn't available to vote on didn't pass on the democrats' watch. they've had an opportunity to close that border. they have not closed the border. they point to a bill that maybe would have done som

it's called the weaponization of the f.b.i., the d.o.j., they were all coming.oing to get things turned around in this country. it's so bad they don't do that except in third world countries. nobody thought it was even possible. nobody thought it was even possible they used to talk about it before all this stuff happen. they said it will never happen. it's never happened before. think of the scoundrels in office right now. didn't happen to them. so i just want to thank you, actually, for your support. because it made me, it actually made me more popular. a woman -- a great woman said to me, sir, when you first got in trouble in new york over nothing, i've since then i've gone to the bridge and i've waved the flag. where is that woman? she was so -- stand up, please. [cheers and applause] stand up. she was so incredible. i said, so -- [cheers and applause] thank you, darling. no, she said to me, she said, you know, i really liked you a lot. but i really loved you when they went after you so unfairly from that day on there was nobody else but trump. i remember you

the f.b.i. is one of the agencies investigating. the u.s.nomy grew at a healthy clip of 2.8% when compared to the same time last year. that's due largely to ongoing consumer spending which rose 3.7%. today's reading was down from the 3% growth. but it still signals ongoing strength in the u.s. economy as voters head into the final days before the u.s. election. a common practice has become the law of the land in new york city. jaywalking is now legal. the city council passed a bill allowing pedestrians to cross the street at will. jaywalking used to carry a fine up to $250 and by one count, 90% of those targeted last year were black and latino. and it was pan do moanium. the biedens hosted their final tricky or treat event and she dressed as a giant panda and revealed her face to celebrate with 8,000 guests including many military families. still to come, we examine the stark divide between harris and trump's health care policies. new federal rule requires airlines to automatically offer refunds for cancellations. and a photographer document

the c.i.a., justice department and f.b.i. and homeland security.curity agent on behalf of the c.i.a. in afghanistan. he was vetted for that job. he was vetted when he came to the united states. but the level of vetting is unclear. was he radicalized before or after he came to the states. that's where the government blame game begins. originally fox news was told it was believed he was radicalized after he came to the u.s. and if he fell through the cracks. queue the finger pointing. >> the department of homeland security is contradicting the state department in terms of who vetted who. i think all of us involved know the vetting wasn't as it should have been. they got out a lot of the wrong people and left behind the right people >> when we vet and we do so intensively. when we vet an individual it is a point in time screening and vetting process. if we obtain information subsequently that suggests the individual could be of danger, we take appropriate law enforcement action. that is exactly what we did in this case. >> many more questions. the sta

fortunately the f.b.i. was doing their job. they did it correctly. no one was actually at harm but they caught the individual. how many individuals are out there that we're not paying attention to? >> harris: well, who was responsible for letting the suspected terrorist into our nation in the first place? the blame game continues. former republican congressman doug collins of georgia in "focus" next. ners checked your credit card rates lately? many are over 22%, near 30% if you pay late. why not do what thousands of veteran families have done. call newday and pay off that high rate debt with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan. it lets you pay off your credit cards and car loans with one easy monthly payment. get the cash you need and the peace of mind you deserve. here you go. is there anyway to get a better price on this? have you checked singlecare? before i pick up my prescription at the pharmacy, i always check the singlecare price. it's quick, easy, and totally free to use. singlecare can literally beat my insurance copay. go to singleca

they believe the car is connected and f.b.i. has joined them in the investigation.you posted as they go. >> dana: there is no rest for the supreme court. a flurry of pre-election lawsuits are making its way to the docket bringing high-profile cases that could impact the final result. david spunt tracking this in washington, d.c. >> the docket is quickly filling up and it is only tuesday. one week out from the election. let's start in pennsylvania. late yesterday afternoon state republicans asked the nine justices in washington to block a lower court decision that would allow a voter's provisional counted even if the mail in ballot is rejected for not following technical instructions. in virginia the d.o.j. has until this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. eastern to submit reasons why the supreme court should continue allowing some 1600 virginia voters on the election rolls. the governor insisted if you say you are not an american citizen on a state form like a dmv driver's license form you shouldn't be able to vote. glenn youngkin signed an order that resulted in frequent chec

parts of the denver suburb, delivering a familiar and false reframe about violent crime rates which f.b.i shows have been declining. vice president harris meanwhile rallied in neighboring arizona, her second straight day in the battleground border state. this time courting voters from across the isle at a republicans for harris event. >> each of you have had the courage to say, hey, we may not agree on every single thing, that's what is a democracy looks like. but foundational, first principles cannot be in question. not for the sake of our children, not for the sake of our future and well-being, not for the sake of our standing in the world. >> a running mate team walz was in michigan earlier today. >> she's proud to be part of the most prolabor administration in american history. >> working win over a group the campaign has struggled with, blue collar workers in battleground states. >> hello, pittsburgh! are you fired up. >> former president obama has joined that effort rallying for harris last night in pennsylvania and offering sharp takedowns of her opponent. >> there is absolutely no

i give the f.b.i.dit but incredibly difficult if not impossible to prevent and predict the next attack. >> dana: they have to be right every single time. thank you. great to have you on the show as always. >> bill: now jamie foxx returns to the stage with an emotional message. today's hemmer celebrity news. the actor and comedian opened up about his medical scare last year. started as a headache. then he was gone for 20 days. on monday he posted emotional pictures from his first one-man show he has done in months. fox writes god is good as i post these pictures my heart and my soul is filled with nothing but pure joy, end quote. good for him. >> dana: scary time. curious as to what happened. >> bill: highly talented man on the comeback trail. >> dana: let's get back to the campaign trail. >> i gave you the largest tax cuts in the history of our country. larger than the reagan cuts. larger. >> bill: former president trump trying to close the gender gap in the polls. stark divide between men and women. t

but more than 100 have had enough gang confirmation to be subjects of interest and referred to the f.b.i.'s watch list for trans national criminal organizations. tda is in crimes in many states. just this week the man accused of sex trafficking a 15-year-old girl in palm beach county is being investigated for tda ties as florida's attorney general blames the biden-harris administration. >> they've let them come in and barely vetted them now seeing them pop up all over our nation and they cannot -- even if they tried to do it now cannot send them back to venezuela because venezuela says they won't accept them. >> tda has been linked to two other murders and the shooting of nypd cops. the gang is still in its infancy stage but targeting them as a growing threat saying as part of our work to counter tda, dhs has an operation to crack down on gang members through rescreening certain individuals previously en -- all individuals are referred for criminal prosecution or detained in place and to expedite and removal. some states are cracking down. texas governor greg abbott last month listed tda

f.b.i.irector christopher wray with stark warningings earlier this year. >> we're seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. when i sat here last year i walked through how we were already in a heightened threat environment. since then, we've seen the threat from foreign terrorists rise to a whole other level. >> harris: why don't biden and harris listen to their own people? border patrol has encountered more than 1.7 million people crossing over who could pose a national security threat. another report shows the administration allowed people on domestic flights with 0 identification. and more data this week showing tens of thousands of people convicted of sexual assault and murder. illegal immigrants who already broke one law breaking into this country are known for killing people in their country and they are loose in american cities around the country. sean duffy, co-host of the bottom line and former wisconsin congressman. first of all, just your reaction

any threat the f.b.i. has, dea, intelligence community should be given to the secret service and they should determine what action should be taken. and the secret service should not be a passive recipient of someone else's investigation. >> dana: you served ably and with honor and i'm sure it hurts everybody who served in the service to see what this panel is coming up with. but now that we have this report, maybe things will start to get better. thank you for coming on. we'll stay in touch. >> thank you, dana. >> bill: with regard to israel's war with hamas, this could be a significant development from the middle east. the idf investigating right now whether or not the leader of hamas is dead. there are many reports suggesting this is true. we, however, have not yet confirmed it and waiting for greater identification of a body in rafah, in southern gaza right on the border with egypt. stand by for more and we'll have it for you after this.

that would interfere with her and the f.b.i.'s plans to invade the capitol. thank you. host: that was jerry. terry in atlanta, georgia, on the line for democrats. good morning, terry. caller: good morning. good morning, america. my concern and what's driving me in the 2024 election is the fact that i believe the office of the president of the united states needs someone who has dignity, needs someone who is intelligent enough to make decisions for america and who is intelligent enough to place people in the cabinet and other positions who will also help the president make the best decisions for america. moving forward, i don't care about race or gender. i do care that the person has the knowledge and the ability to make the decisions. donald trump is not the person. day by day he is becoming more unhinged, unmanageable. he says things that make absolutely no sense at all. he does not and never has had dignity. and he is a consummate liar. i think that donald trump is too old to be the president, and i also think that he is hiding something regarding his health, because
