bob and martha and just became very dear friends. >> and in martha and, debbie found her soulmate. >> she was what i would refer to as the quintessential southern lady. she was like assisted to me. we had the same type of upbringing, the same type of morals, we had fun together. we enjoyed sharing recipes together. she had two boys, i had two girls. we will talk about our children. we would just were very, very close. >> over the years they shared cookouts, road trips, church events, just like two peas from the same pod. you could just see, said debbie, how much bob and martha and loved each other. >> never once did i hear them argue or have a sour word against one another, never. just very loving. like the perfect couple. >> and then, may 2006, martha and was at work. a family friend stopped by to see bob at home. in front of him, well -- he called 9-1-1. >> 9-1-1, where is your emergency? >> coaker creek. >> martha and got home, then called for her friend, debbie. >> she is screaming, she is saying, bob's dead. i'm saying, bob's dead? >> coming up, what happened to bob clancy. i cal

martha? >> martha: aishah, thanks very much.publican, texas congressman, michael mccaul. thanks for being here. >> thanks, martha. >> martha: it's very difficult to understand when you're running dhs and they have people that they're putting on buses and vehicles. they're taking them to other towns. they have taken them to tucson and other places to be processed. they put people on planes. are you telling me the united states government is not counting how many people are on those vehicles? >> it's chaos at the border. so mismanaged right now. the secretary of homeland security couldn't tell us how many haitians they're letting in under this fear of political asylum case versus how many were being deported. we were told that airplanes are leaving by the hour deporting them to haiti. we heard something different today. overall, this is a guy that said it's unsustainable and losing in his own words. when i asked him about the migrant protection protocols that the united states supreme court has mandated that this administration pu

he has enough other stuff going on the keep him busy here, martha. >> martha: indeed.'s bring in karl rove, former senior president adviser to george bush. when the white house is facing a lot of crises at once, which seems to hat once in every presidency, how do you manage it and how do you think this is president is doing at this moment? >> well, first of all, his problem is he has more than one emergency. we're talking covid, the fallout from afghanistan, the economy with rising inflation, we have the immigration crisis at the border, a new report out today from the fbi that murder rates grew by 30% the last year and the four things that are immediately in front of him. the debt ceiling, are you going to raise it to allow the government to spend more debt. what about the budget? we're in the new fiscal year and yet to pass a budget. are you going to pass a budget or punt with a continuing resolution that funds the government another 30, 60, 90 days. the bipartisan infrastructure bill, nancy pelosi would say was promised would be voted on today. instead, it's thursda

martha, back to you. >> martha: jonathan serrie on the scene.g in mark eiglarsh, great to have you back. as you listen to this and we can roll video of the fbi looking at that attachment to the camper, which sits in the driveway day in and day out. we know it was purchased after brian got back. it was fixed up the neighbors told us and take it out on a camping trip for three days after his fiance disappeared. what do you through? >> first, this could mean absolutely nothing. or it could mean everything. since i'm a glass half full guy, let's go with everything. everything could mean he purchased a phone and a lot of evidence could be on the phone. it could indicate where he's headed, his mindset and lead to further evidence proving that he's involved in this homicide. from that, they went to his home because scooby wants a snack and scooby wants to track down laundrie. so he's saying i need laundrie's laundry to get a lead where i can find him. they go to his house, get his closing. scooby wants a snack. maybe they're off to find him. what is gr

martha? >> martha: thanks, jonathan.rmer fbi profiler known for her work on the unabomber case. she's the host of "killer psyche", a podcast. one of the things that we learned from his friends is that he has very strong according to this person survival abilities. that he liked to go camping, boasted about getting by on crackers for a long time while he was camping. what are your thoughts as you learn more about him and where he might be right now. >> well, that all may be true, that he is somewhat of a survivalist but he can't survive forever. he was never out there before with trained professionals, search teams looking for him, drone searches. so i don't think this is going to go on a long, long time. >> martha: knowing what you know, piecing together what you learned about him so far, do you suspect that he is out there and alive still? >> yes. at first when i heard that he was missing and went to this preserve, it occurred to me that perhaps he went there to take his own life. that wouldn't be unusual. i say that be

. >> martha: good afternoon. moments ago, the secretary of state, antony blinken admitted that the taliban has those planes carrying americans and sivs stuck on the airport tarmac. listen to this. >> as of now, the taliban are not permitting the charter flights to depart. they claim some of the passengers don't have the required documentation. the bottom line is this, those flights need to depart. we'll work to make sure that they're able to do that. >> martha: so they won't let them leave. the secretary of state says they must be allowed to go. so are they hostages at this point of some sort? what is going to happen to these people on these planes? what happens next in this standoff? congressman mark mullen is standing by. he and a group of special opens veterans extracted this american family who had a controversy on how they did that. moments ago in the same speech in germany, the secretary of state said certain rescue groups going rogue are problematic. watch this. >> some of the groups claim to have the docu

martha?ha: what an incredible act of courage for those women to go into the street and to chant "freedom" as the taliban takes over. trey, that video is incredible. thanks for bringing it to us. i was so stunned by the images of the women chanting in the streets. thanks. kayleigh mcenany co-host of "outnumbered" and marc thiessen, fox news contributor. welcome both of you. great to have you with us today. i want to go back to something else that trey said and i want this to sink in to everybody who is listening. okay? the new leader of afghanistan, the islamic emirate of afghanistan is on our terror watch list and the guy under him has a $10 million bounty. the president was asked whether or not he would recognize the taliban. the answer is "that's a long way off." it's not like never, that would never happen in my administration. whatever. that's the answer. "that's a long way off." here's the other thing that stands out from trey's report. 80% of the people who were traded for bowe bergdahl

i did, martha.was in -- during summer break before high school started my last year. >> martha: tell me what it's like to be back and see the memorial? >> i so not been to the memorial until yesterday. that gave me many mixed emotions. the most important of all was it gave me the feeling of why i did what i did, why i joined. helps me get closure. that's how i closed the chapter in my navy career. >> martha: officer sanchez, talk to us about what you experienced that young day as a teenager and what it moved you to do. >> well, ma'am, being -- when i was in the middle of the spanish class, it was surreal. mrs. cole, our teacher, said the fire alarm just rang. everybody needs to go outside and stand by. we'll give further guidance. as soon as i go outside and looking at the black smoke, we couldn't believe what was going on. my twin brother, we were looking at each other in disbelief. you know, we were asking, did this just happen? for me, looking at that, made me more patriotic that i wanted to be m

martha, back to you. >> martha: thanks, steve.er for gloria satterfield's estate. good to have you back with us. tell us what the family is thinking about this and what action you're taking. >> obviously, they're in shock. they feel betrayed. we're in the civil aspect of this and filing our civil lawsuits and so what is going to do what. we're learned that our state law enforcement agency is doing a criminal investigation into how the money was misappropriated. it's 4.1 million. so martha, i feel like i'm stilling in the middle of a three-ring circus. it never ends. there's no bottom to this case. you have five dead bodies. my clients who now have to face the prospect that $4.1 million was misappropriated from them. >> martha: were they aware -- now it echos this other story. he tries to get someone to shoot him to get $10 million in insurance money. when i look at this part of the case, you're asking is there something that he's done before. there was $4 million involved in this part of the case. was the family ever aware that $4

"the story" with martha starts right now. >> martha: good afternoon, everybody. i'm martha maccallum in new york. breaking right now, this afternoon on "the story," this is the scene in del rio, texas. del rio has a population of 35,000 people. 35,000 texans live there. now they have 12,000 -- as many as 20,000 at one point refugees living in their town. despite the fact that the homeland secretary says this. >> our borders are not open and people should not make the dangerous journey. >> it's clear they're open. this man, rodney scott was president trump's and then president biden's chief of the u.s. border patrol. he also worked in counter terrorism at the border in 29 years of service there. he recently wrote this letter to the leaders of the homeland security committee in the senate. "i witnessed the unprecedented seismic shift in border security and immigration policy initiated january 20, 2021, the biden inaugural. this shift, he writes "created the current crisis." he goes on to say "contrary to the current rhetoric, this is not a surge, this is a national

martha? >> martha: let's bring in texas senator ted cruz.orkas be fired. when you hear there's 15,000 more -- i've heard 19,000 in some estimates headed this way. do you expect they too will get in? >> right now under joe biden, we have open borders. it's an absolute catastrophe. i've been to the southern border many times. it's worse than i've ever seen it. we are on a path to over 2 million illegal immigrants crossing into this country this year under joe biden. it's the worst illegal immigration we've had in 21 years. just a little less than two weeks ago, i was in down in del rio. i saw the crisis that was there where because the biden administration refused to deport the illegal immigrants from haiti, we saw what had been about 700 people under the bridge in del rio grow. when i was there to 10,503. within a couple days after that to 15,000. i got the tell you, yesterday, martha, i sat down with the foreign minister of panama. she described how panama has seen over 80,000 haitian immigrants, haitian evacuees crossing from southern ameri

. >> martha: good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. the white house is describing the taliban as business-like after the terror group allowed, gave permission for 113 american and others to escape the taliban rule in afghanistan. they're on the ground in doha. they have to be happy when they hit the ground after a harrowing experience. it's stunning, but this is how the relationship is described 20 years hence from september 11th. the taliban's acting prime minister, this man that you see here, who has a $10 million fbi bounty on his head for terrorist acts and may be holding an american hostage. according to al-jazeera, all the tens of thousands of afghans that helped to start the afghan government and worked with the united states he says, do not leave. come back if you have left already. he says the blood shed is over. tell that to the protesters that were just fired on and women beaten with the short whip devices because they demonstrated and asked for freedom in the streets of kabul. joining me now, trey yingst where that happy fl

martha? >> martha: trey yingst on the ground. thanks very much.avid sears, retired navy seals. he was in afghan twice and the author of "smarter, not harder." thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> martha: i would like to play some testimony. antony blinken was grilled by senators about how this was handled. this is senator john barrasso that talked about the marine that was lost to his state of wyoming, riley mccollum. here's senator barrasso's comment. >> president biden has called this an extraordinary success. this has to be the lie of the 21st century. it's dishonest. if he believes it, it's delusional. america with no longer ever say we no longer leave no american behind because joe biden did. >> martha: david sears, good to have you with us today. what did you think of the secretary of state's answers today? >> it was really surreal, this is like the theater of sur. your start point is the same as tend point. seems to be a completely alternate reality. they took no responsibility for anything, no accountability, threw blame out

martha? >> martha: a terrible situation.petito case. coming up, john durham up against a deadline to bring charged against a democrat-connected attorney who is accused of making unfounded claims in the trump russia probe. where could this be going next. (vo) how do you know when you've found your team? whether you're winning, or just doing your best. when you're on the lanes, they're right behind you. reunite with your team. go bowling. people with moderate to severe psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the way they exaggerate the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not an injection or a cream it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're al

martha? >> martha: jonathan hunt, thanks very much. now, new york congressman, john katko, a former prosecutor in el paso. great to have you with us today. i want to start with this sound bite from the arizona attorney general. he's also a senate candidate on the president's border crisis. >> people crossing the border illegally, refugees, possible terrorists. a possible crisis in afghanistan. here on the southern border the president doesn't give a damn. it should offense every american taxpayer. they're going to spend millions to defend their border and while on our border the terrorists and criminals are coming across. >> martha: what do you think of the analogy to protect the borders from more taliban infiltration to the north. tell me your outsourcing on that. >> he's responsible on. the southern border is a sid. we had 22,000 people apprehended at the border. a significant number more that got away. we had drugs coming across in record numbers. fentanyl seized this year enough to kill every man, woman and child six times over. it

martha? >> martha: thanks, mike.ore we let you go, 76 years ago today, world war ii ended with japan signing of the instrument of surrender aboard the u.s.s. missouri in tokyo bay as american celebrated victory over japan day. we'll leave you with powerful scenes of our nation's capitol where veterans were honored on this 76th anniversary of vj day. we thank them for their heroism and for their service. have a great day, everybody. we'll see you back here tomorrow with more of "the story." neil cavuto straight ahead. >> hello, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. hurricane ida continues to pummel the area. we've seen tornadoes and people lost their homes are having trouble getting back to them. this could be a preview to coming a tractions as some fear that the roll-out just to get to people gets increasingly complicated. i'm neil cavuto. th

hi, phil. >> hi, martha. we can confirm now, i get a text from the public information officer from the forsyth county sheriff's department that yes, there was a second incident in winston-salem this afternoon. this happened at the harris teeter supermarket which happens to be where the high schoolers were taken to rendezvous with their parents. in the same parking lot after the shooting, which has been confirmed, that is when there was another disturbance. the sheriff's department said no dish shots were fired and nobody is injuries. that's all we know. we're not sure the two things are even related. afternoon, just shortly afternoon east coast time, that's when according to local reports the school resource officer at mount tabor high school called dispatch saying someone was shot at the high school. that then led to a flood of law enforcement from the sheriff's department and police department as first responders. they surrounded the high school. it's on lockdown. nearby schools all went on lockdown. accord

>> that's correct, martha.rcement as well want not only dealing with that issue, but having to deal with the thousands of migrants that are coming across the southern border daily. >> [beeping]. >> martha: i want to play this sound bite from the department of homeland security secretary just a short time ago. talking about what he sees as a past history in the prior administration as immoral in the way this is being dealt with. let's watch. >> they are driven by a public health imperative. >> [overlapping talking]. >> let me explain. let me be quite clear. we do not conduct ourselveses in an immoral way. we don't conduct ourselveses in an unethcalloway. in fact, this is because of the past administration. >> martha: how do you secret morality and the way people are being treated? >> this has been a continued issue since this crisis started at the begin of the year. it hasn't slowed down. the federal government hasn't stepped in to secure the border. what texas has done under governor greg abbott we are taking a

"the story" with martha starts now. >> martha: thanks. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum in new york. breaking right now, a live briefing from the pentagon and no doubt they have had some very interesting conversations there today. stunning reporting that the chairman of the joint chiefs, mark milley, went behind president trump's back to assure china that he would not let the president take certain actions or start a war and if anything were underfoot, he would warn them about it first. that's one of the specific contentions that is being questioned in all of this as perhaps one of the most serious. jennifer griffin doing some independent digging of her own into this story. she has been told today by multiple sources that key aspects of the reporting in this are not accurate. she's in the pentagon briefing room at this moment waiting for this to get underway. we've been questioning specifically about some of the underlying story here to get to the bottom of what is true and what is not. that is moments away. as we wait for that, general jack keane, f

we're looking for brian. >> martha: your phone is coming in and out a little bit. when you look at the parents and whether or not they took this trip and we spoke with the neighbors on this program that verify that there was at least one camping trip and you say you have a tipster that said there were two camping trips, is that person in a position to see the laundrie's come and go on the second trip from this other desoto camp site? >> the desoto camp site, they were registered to go there twice. they did see them as far as i know one time come in with three people on around the 6th and they said that the mother and father left without him on the 8th. >> martha: so we hear the family today when they came out. they're asking brian to turn himself in. how -- just given what you know about hunting for people, what is your best guest of he's keeping track of the investigation as it goes on? >> we've heard that, you know, someone was seen in an at&t store buying a drop phone. so i think he's aware of it. what this kid is facing is a death penalty. in wyoming, this carr

martha. >> martha: thank you, jonathan hunt at the border.rk times" report also says that the high court's ruling provided some relief as we said to the biden administration in terms of its policy. the supreme court order came providing the biden administration with the political cover to adopt the policy in some form without provoking as much ier from democrats who reviled mr. trump's border policy. tom homan, former ice director. nice to have you with us. this is interesting. politically they were getting a lot of coverage of the stories that were happening at the border and we covered it a lot in terms the numbers were growing and now the supreme court decision provided them some cover, as we said, to return to remain in mexico and say well this isn't our policy. it is coming from the court. >> a couple of things. i think the august numbers when they come out will be over 00,000. they already have that number but not releasing it yet. they have to figure out a way to spin it. over 200,000. i am part of that lawsuit. i filed an affidavit wi

i'm martha maccallum in new york. any moment now, there you can see the podium is set up at the pentagon. a huge development breaking right now as we are told that officials are about to announce that no isis-k fighters were killed in the august 29th u.s. drone strike in kabul that killed ten civilians in fact. there's no disciplinary action we're told expected as a result of that obvious misstep, mistake, whatever you want to call it. a lot of questions moments away about what happened with what was said to be a great example of our over-the-horizon ability to take out targets in afghanistan despite the fact that we pulled out. so there's a lot to cover there as well as other big news reported on these back-channel calls with general mark milley and his chinese counterpart that president trump didn't know about. assuring the chinese that we wouldn't attack and promising that there would be a warning if we did, according to that reporting. congressman michael waltz is going to join us. he's watching this and he's call

so as many of you know, if you are george and martha washington fans, you know that martha washington burned what she thought was all of the correspondence between her and george and there's two surviving letters, but elizabeth happened to find a bundle of letters in this desk. so she she finds this bundle of letters that is from martha to george and it's all wrapped up in washington's in washington's handwriting and she writes to washington and this is very much. they're funniest exchange. she says that she's found a bundle of love letters from a woman written in the most solemn sanction and she teases him and and says that she doesn't open them, but she she wants him to know that she has them and then she very quickly goes. i'm just kidding. they're from martha washington and so it's a very cute cute little exchange and that's the same letter where she's very poignant about using the desk, but then washington writes back so after he got to mount vernon is when he got the letter from her so he ends up he ends up writing her back and he actually also writes to her he said as he promis

martha, she means it. >> martha: yes, she does. she has a right to do what she wants. when the trump administration employees were chased out of restaurants or braided while they were eating. she says that she has images of veterans all over her walls and a lot of veterans who died in there, so i would hope that some of those supporters of the president come in they might learn something from some of the veteran sitting next to them. >> emily: pete? >> pete: yes, it is a free country for now. she is expressing sentiment and speaking for a lot of people. my inbox is full of people saying where can i give money and where can i go? what can i do? and the ballot box feel so far away and even then there are a lot of questions about election integrity for a lot of people. so there is a lot of dismay and they don't know where to turn. in a statement like that is a guttural scream that i love my country and the troops that defend it, and i don't respect those who don't and don't stand by that. so customers can make a choice, and i actually think this could lead to a lot more b

martha, we were both there. we know what we saw.mobs storming the united states capitol, and chanting to hang the vice president. it was an attempt to whitewash what happened that day obviously as he's potentially eyeing running again, and this is a party that in a lot of ways that has grown a lot closer to former president donald trump. >> evan, i want to go back to you on this. what does joe biden do about this, and what he has done so far hasn't really worked. >> one of the things you hear him doing frankly is redefining what unity means. he came into office talking about unity and appealing to this idea we might find our way back together again. the blunt reality is that's not happening. you're hearing him be much clearer about the fact there are people who are choosing to get on with it, get the vaccine, get back into the economy, stop, you know, protesting about an election that they lost, and he's being blunt about it and so in a sense, he is acknowledging that we may not ever achieve unity, but he says unity is among the 70%

martha, thank you. >>> and one more note on this. you heard what president biden told george several weeks back right here, that no one suggested we leave 2,500 troops behind. so, we pressed the white house today, how does that square with what we heard today from top u.s. military leaders on the hill? our terry moran in the briefing room. >> reporter: the president said his military commanders were split. we now know that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general milley, head of cent-com general mckenzie and the commander on the ground general miller, all recommended the president keep 2,500 troops. so, who in his military advisers told him it would be fine to pull everybody out? >> i'm not going to get into specific details of who recommended what, but i would reiterate a little bit of what i conveyed before, which is that there were recommendations made by a range of his advisers, something he welcomed, something he asked them to come to him, clear-eyed about, to give him candid advice. what is also clear, though, and i'd

martha raddatz tonight. thank you. >>> and as this nation prepares to mark 20 years since 9/11, tonight, a hearing for the alleged mastermind and four accused conspirators at guantanamo bay. part of their defense, interrogation methods that were used. but this is finally under way, after years of delays. abc's senior national correspondent terry moran listening in on that hearing today. >> reporter: tonight, nearly 20 years after the attacks on 9/11, the long wait for justice continues. the pretrial hearing beginning today at guantanamo bay for five men accused in the plot that killed nearly 3,000 people. the lead defendant, khalid sheikh mohammed, called "the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks" in the 9/11 commission report. ksm, as he was dubbed by the agents who tracked him down, was captured in pakistan in 2003. in 2007, he confessed in a statement to the combatant status review tribunal, saying, "i was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from a to z." but before the trial begins, the judge must als

martha points to something that i think is very important.we did after 9/11, we'll go over and over what the failures were in afghanistan and and particularly the failures perhaps in not being able to get people out sooner. what i came out of 9/11 with and it's the parallel i see here is the future. we came out of 9/11 with our naive destroyed. the belief we were an insular nation with two oceans to protect us. that went away. we began to realize we're vulnerable. the question was how vulnerable are we and how continually vulnerable are we going to be. now what i worry about because this is such a difficult country, afghanistan to govern, do the taliban have it or will we have something like somalia with war lords in charge in various parts? do we have any left over intelligence in that country that can give us some warning or will it become a breeding ground for future attacks? those are the questions we're left with now and those were the questions we were left with after 9/11. >> martha, that's the danger. president biden made it very clea
