>> good morning. we're outside the teton county coroner's office where the autopsy of gabby petito was performed yesterday giving the official confirmation about the remains found in grand teton national park sunday. there are still many questions that need to be answered in this case. how, when and where was she killed some of the main ones. the forensic examination has taken place and f.b.i. thanked all agencies and personnel who assisted in the search, recovery and identification efforts adding the f.b.i. and partners remain dedicated to insuring anyone responsible for or complicit in her death is held accountable for their actions. forensic pathologist telling fox what more investigators will be looking at with the evidence collected so far. >> in this situation since they lived together and so much time together or hairs or dna from the boy from her clothing wouldn't tell you who done it. the only thing that would come up with a dna if it were a third person. >> we have new drone video from a fox flight team of the area where gabby petito was found. the f.b.i. saying they're seeking information from anyone who utilized this area in the spread creek campgrounds in late august to contact them. the family attorney saying they continue to ask for time for the family to grieve while they make arrangements to bring gabby home to long island and the family is planning on making a statement once they're all back together again in long island, new york. and the f.b.i. still looking for information. those tips have proven to be so critical in the case. hoping to get more. >> dana: now for the latest on the search for brian landry we go to north port, florida and jonathan serrie is standing by. >> good morning. police plan to resume the search in the carlton reserve this morning. brian's parents and investigators told them their son had driven his mother's car to the nature park and they retrieved it last week before reporting him missing. 60 law enforcement officers are involved in the search of the 25,000 acre preserve. >> terrain is very difficult. essentially 75% of it is under water and other areas that are dry we're trying to clear. >> brian's parents continue to stay in their north port home. his father left briefly yesterday to pick up a jug of milk. police believe brian returned alone to his parents' home september 1st, 10 days before his girlfriend was reported missing. then he left on the 14th. during the nearly two weeks brian was home, neighbor charlene guthrie says he mowed the lawnened he and his mother went for a bicycle ride around a block. it seemed like nothing bothered him. gabby petito's body was found sunday in the spread creek canyon area near grand teton national park in wyoming. a user tipped off the f.b.i. to the location after realizing she had spotted their person of interest. >> so i saw brian laundrie parking his van august 26th. i reported to the f.b.i. what i had seen. so -- i wasn't 100% sure. now with dash kam footage of the van where i saw it, it was 100% certain it was just him, no gabby. >> residents have been leaving ribbons in city hall as a growing memorial to gabby. she had only lived in this area briefly. residents are adopting her as their own and grieving with her family. let's send it to trace now. >> trace: jonathan serrie live in florida. >> dana: joining me now is mary ellen o'toole, director of forensic science at george mason university and formerly with the f.b.i. yesterday the coroner said it was a homicide but didn't specify a cause of death. when would we expect to know that? >> i would expect in the next couple of days that information will come out. it is critical because the cause of death which could be strangulation, gunshot wound, blunt force trauma becomes enforcement. investigate force probably know the information and probably looking for a weapon if it is something like strangulation or something else. investigators probably know. the public will probably know in several days. >> dana: given it was a homicide and her body was found there. doesn't seem like they tried to bury or conceal the body. we don't know that specifically. would that tell you the state of mind of whoever killed her? >> many factors at a homicide scene become important and you have to take them together. three ways behaviorally dispose of a body. you dump a body. kill the person in one location and leave them there. the second thing is to bury or attempt to bury and conceal a body and third way is to pose or stage a body. in this case it's one or two, there may have been an effort to concealed and it will come up. including putting brush over the person. trying to put rocks or dirt over the person or the person was just left there. so it is either one or two. >> dana: at this point brian laundrie, fiance, is still considered a person of interest. at what point does he become a suspect if he does? >> i think the term person of interest has debated and in my experience it is a matter of semantics. in the eyes of law enforcement right now, you can call him a person of interest or suspect. they are looking at him as a possible suspect and a strock suspect. >> dana: the other day the police in north port said they were calling off the search in that reserve. later that day the parents were questioned in the van outside of the home while the f.b.i. was inside. then for the last two days they've gone back to searching in the reserve. is it possible that the parents' story of him going to the reserve checked out and why they decided to look again? >> that's possible. they're looking at other things as well. during the search they were retrieving information that might give them ideas where he could be right now. they would question certainly the parents to see did the parents inadvertently or purposely mislead investigators? they want to confirm their efforts out there in the 25,000 acre reservoir are really worth it or in fact he might have actually said one thing but gone to another location. so they're trying to corroborate that so they aren't wasting man-hours searching for him. >> dana: do you know if the f.b.i. or law enforcement had a travel alert on brian laundrie once gabby petito was named missing? >> i don't know that. it would make sense but i'm not aware of that. >> dana: we'll continue to follow this story and talk to you mary ellen o'toole, thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: meantime president biden calling for global cooperation at the united nations yesterday but push for unity could be a hard sell coming after the afghanistan withdrawal debacle and diplomatic crisis with america's oldest ally. jackie heinrich at the white house this morning. >> good morning. president biden went into the speech went off a new partnership between the u.s., u.k. and australia that upset france so much they recalled their ambassadors. all that in the name of countering china and despite that president biden didn't mention china once in his u.n. speech except to suggest any pressure from the u.n. secretary general to say he does not want to start a new cold war after the u.n. secretary general said biden and china better clean things up. >> he slapped a giant kicked me sign on uncle sam's back. he bent over backwards to appease the chinese communist party said we don't seek a new cold war. >> instead the president focused on covid and climate change and america not at war focusing on rerentless dip -- diplomacy. there was a strike in afghanistan that killed citizens. >> president biden: today we're better equipped to prevent activity threats and ability to repel and respond. >> at the oval office prime minister boris johnson sitting with president biden got a taste of what it's like to cover this white house. >> that's the -- boris was completely stunned with the new culture in america. supposed to be the leaders of the free world, the president doesn't take questions. >> the president did answer one shouted question yesterday on the influx of migrants at the border saying we'll get it under control about as substantive as the last time he took questions a week ago when he said he is confident in the chairman of the joint chiefs, trace. >> trace: jackie, thank you. dana, the white house press corps, you've dealt with them, they were furious that he was actually -- biden was answering questions from the british press corps and not from the american press corps. >> dana: when you have the two leaders of the free world who have just left the united nations talking about the importance of human rights, freedom and democracy, freedom of the press is very much part of that and accountability to the citizens. one of the things that the leaders of the free world should want to do is to be able to show other leaders that you are accountable to your citizens through the press and the fact that they did not do that yesterday is a disturbance to american citizens but sent a wrong message. boris johnson was game but biden not. trace, why are these two vaccinated people sitting in the oval office with masks on? that's sending a bad message. they want people to get vaccinated and it gives you freedom. >> trace: i was about to say the same thing. why are they wearing masks sitting away from each other? we don't know. >> dana: somebody will complain to a second and maybe we'll find out. i would love to hear that explanation. thanks. it is round two on the hill for america's top national security officials. they're testifying before a senate panel on threats to the homeland. yesterday wray expressed concerned about the taliban takeover of afghanistan and the potential for terrorists to carry out attacks. we'll monitor the hearing. we're awaiting new cdc guidance on booster shot after the fda rejected to approve them to most americans. we'll speak to scott gottlieb. >> trace: major media outlet confirming part of the hunter biden story that was suppressed by big tech. what's prompting the about face? >> dana: we'll go live to del rio, texas where bill melugin has been exposing the crisis at the border. >> more than 6,000 migrants remain in the camp here in del rio behind us. despite the biden administration that most will be deported or sent back, we're learning thousands are being released into the united states. that story coming up for you in just a few. >> that is not humane. the biden administration's promise that they would have a humane process, that is not humane. oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool?

>> i'll get it under control. >> get it under control or you have it under control. >> we will get it under control. >> dana: have there been any changes there, bill? >> good morning to you. not really. the numbers are going down a little bit but conditions are horrible. take a live look. you can see ths of people living underneath this bridge in del rio. at last check brand-new numbers in the last few minutes the current number is over 6,000 people living here as of 6:00 a.m. remarkable because the numbers go down but doesn't look file different to us from our perspective. it looks packed. take a live look from above. the size and scope of this camp you can see. of the 6700, 4700 are family units. 1500 are still single adult males. dhs secretary mayorkas say a message to migrants. do not come, you'll be sent back and not allowed to stay. we're finding out that's not true. a.p. reporting that thousands of migrants are being released into the united states once they arrive here in del rio and being told to show up in immigration courts in 60 days. our photographer flew out of the airport this morning and flight was full of haitians, one man who couldn't speak inglish and some of these from the journalist i know was doing great work. she flew out and said her flight was full of haitians as well and talked to the families and they were flying to orlando, maryland and new york. no, not everybody in this camp is being sent back. many of them are being released into the united states. texas governor greg abbott not happy about this catch and release policy. take a listen. >> the biden administration is a manmade disaster of inhumanity, of epic proportions. it must end immediately and the way to end it is by the biden administration finally enforcing the immigration laws of the united states of america. >> dana and trace, late last night we confirmed that a deportation flight back to haiti landed in port-au-prince yesterday afternoon. a group of haitians revolted and dhs called it two separate disturbances during that three american ice agents were injured and hurt. but they suffered non-life threatening injuries. haitian ground control had to be called out to get it settled down. send it back to you. >> dana: bill melugin at the border. thank you. >> trace: brandon judd is the president of the national border patrol council. we want to break news at the top. i don't think anybody realized you guys warned the administration in june. i want to put up part of the email you sent. we suggested sending agents to the field in del rio with tablets to start the intake process when a large group crosses the river instead of letting the group sit there while space is cleared in the station. not only did you warn the administration this was about to happen but you offered a remedy and in return you got what, brandon? >> we got absolutely nothing. not only did they ignore us, they said they had more efficient ways to deal with this and now we have at the top of this we have 14,872 people under that bridge. if that's efficient our government is broken. >> trace: my next question will be i don't know if you heard the sound byte but it was president biden being asked about the crisis on the border and his answer was we'll get it under control. have you or your agents been given any type of plan at all, brandon? >> nothing whatsoever. in fact, we continue to go out and do the job that we've been doing in my 24 year career exactly the same way. there are no policies, programs, operations in place to deal with any of this. in fact, when we noticed that they were seeing the exact same thing that was happening under the bridge in mcallen, texas, it's why the email was written making suggestions. we didn't want to get to this point. we wanted to avoid this and wanted to have a way to take intake and get these people through the process as quickly as possible so that we didn't lose all control of everything that we have. and it just completely irresponsible of this administration. >> trace: it's fascinating to me that bill was talking in his report that we've confirmed that some of the haitians are being moved to orlando or maryland. mayorkas doesn't have a number. how many are being moved into the united states? we know the number is significant now, brandon. >> let me be clear. he knows the number. those numbers are tracked on a daily basis. i make communication with people that are telling you what the numbers are on a regular basis is. for him to say that, he has to be called out on that. the numbers are available. the ntas and ntrs. they go into a system and they're tracked. we know exactly what those numbers are. i can tell you there are thousands -- over the eight months of the biden administration we have released more than 600,000 people into the united states. that's a huge number when you consider how many people we have in the united states illegally. it is insane what is taking place today. >> trace: we don't know how many of those people do or don't have covid. the vice president kamala harris who has been absent again from this, she is in charge and the border czar, she was asked yesterday about the problems of the haitian migrants and she said this. >> they want to stay home but they leave when they cannot satisfy their basic needs. so this is a concern. >> trace: she is talking about leaving haiti. but they're leaving brazil and chile because that's where they've been for years and they were told the biden administration is opening up the doors. if you want to go, now is the time to go. your final thoughts. >> that's correct. i spoke with many of these individuals. they are not coming directly from haiti. the majority that i spoke with are coming from chile. again, this administration is deflecting. they are just not telling the american public the truth and they need to be held accountable. >> trace: brandon judd, good to talk to you. thank you. >> dana: the cdc is set to weigh in who should get booster shots and when. there is confusion over mask guidance as well. more than a year and a half we're into the a pandemic and we're still confused. dr. scott gottlieb joins us next and president biden's approval rating under 50% in multiple swing districts. what could it mean for democrats in 2022?

>> i have agree. the "wall street journal" got that right. iron dome is purely a defensive missile system. it is intended to just shoot down incoming missiles. and we have as a country been very united, democrats and republicans, in supporting this and pushing this with israel. today's democratic party is not the same democratic party. they can't even push this through. it's a terrible embarrassment. there are other funding mechanisms. this promotes peace. that's what it does. without iron dome the israelis will go right into the gaza strip and take out that threat. with iron dome it is defensive. >> trace: iron dome will repel 80 to 90% of the rockets and missiles coming in. ted cruz was talking about the democratic support. if any dems do they have the courage to oppose this? a democrat tweeted to target iron dome means the issue isn't a genuine concern over the system but the desire to attack something, anything related to the state of israel. it's devoid of substance and irresponsible so at least you have one democrat coming out and saying it is nonsensical. >> it shows how thin the majority is there for nancy pelosi and steny hoyer. they are beholding to the squad. the squad stays united. they hate israel. and they are going to do everything they can to offer no support to israel and it is a shame because we as i think as a country are very supportive of our best friend in the middle east, the one democracy that's actually there. >> trace: i just want to switch gears here. "politico" has partly confirmed the hunter biden laptop story is actually true. surprise, surprise, jason. the founder of the conservative site tweeted the following. hi, twitter and facebook. clarify your rules on journalist cover laptop scandals. does "politico" get a pass and the election is safely in the rearview mirror? is this journalism so long as it's ineffective? please advise. that is a good question. now it won't affect the election anymore it's fine to put it on social media. back in the day it was off limits. >> "politico", welcome to the game, folks. glad you tried to catch up months and months after. it is an interesting question for twirt. if they won't allow to repost something that showed up originally in the "new york post," why is it okay now? this is the inconsistency that is social media that is so disgusting. it is hunter biden's laptop and you can cross reference it and triangulate it and understand that it is his laptop. >> trace: i guess lastly i would say you go back and talk about the wuhan lab, right? that was -- you could not put that on social media because it was a conspiracy theory. 10 seconds left, jason, wow, you think there are zero consequences for big tech in censoring a lot of this information. >> the gods at facebook and twitter, if only they will allow. they get to decide. that is so fundamentally wrong and needs to change. >> trace: good to see you as always. thank you, sir. >> thanks. >> dana: trace, the white house making a stunning admission of the number of afghan -- about the promise to rescue american allies. plus where is brian laundrie?

how can you explain that? >> i don't think the white house got ahead of themselves. they had to back into some kind of deadline. they didn't need to put out a date but approximate time frame when boosters would be available. you have to put in place logistics to deliver them if you do it in nursing homes. it could take weeks to get that in place. there is clear evidence the boosters can benefit some portion of the population. debate within the fda and cdc today will be what population can benefit the most from boosters. if you look at the data coming out of israel collecting good data seems to show people above the age of 60 vaccinated a long interval ago benefit from boosters with reduction in infection and cases of severe infection. there is a population for whom these shots could benefit. >> dana: what about side effects from a third shot, a booster shot? do we know anything about that? >> look, the safety profile with the third shot looks consistent with the profile of the second shot. same kind of sight effects. injection site reaction, fever. looks to be less if you look at the israeli datasets. that's in an older population. what the u.s. regulators want to do is make the boosters initially available for an older population to derive more benefit from the shots at higher risk from covid and continue to collect safety information and make a judgment whether or not they'll walk it down the age continuum and make boosters available to younger individuals based on what they see about the efficacy and safety. whether the efficacy is more durable in a younger population, which it appears to be. >> dana: let me ask you about masks. a headline from fox news maskless 20, 21 emmys defended by l.a. county after criticism of the attendees didn't have to wear masks but people waiting the tables did. in pasadena the rose bowl and ucla is reminded everyone who comes to game has to wear a mask even outside and vaccinated. i saw the president and boris johnson both vaccinated and very encouraging of people to get vaccines and mandating it in some cases. what is going on with all this confusion? i get frustrated when i see staff that has to wear a mask in a restaurant when the rest of us don't. >> i think this is part of the challenge of the guidance from cdc. it hasn't been articulated in a way that we can make very practical use of it. when we should and shouldn't be wearing max. what the risk factors are to trigger mask mandates and people using discretion to wear masks. we should be consistent first of all. in the high prevalence environment with vulnerable people the use of masks can help protect one of those individuals. if you want to reduce your risk it would be prudent. a cloth mask won't afford an individual nearly as much protection as a level three procedure mask and you get much more protection from an n-95 mask. if you're someone who wants to protect yourself because you feel you are at risk of covid or worried getting an infection and bringing it into a home to a young child look at the quality of the mask you wear. masks will become optional. encouraged in certain settings based on what the prevalence of infection is and vaccination rate and an environment with vulnerable people. >> dana: there is also this question about testing and why we are so far behind. "the new york times" wrote where are the tests? other countries are awash in covid tests, the u.s. is not. when you look back, scott, the president said in january 4th, 2021 it would be a focus and it has not been. why? >> look, this is a big focus of the book. i talk a lot about our ability to turn to manufacturers early to get tests in the markets. right now we have testing in the market, we just don't have the tests that are convenient for consumers to use. a lot of tests consumers want to use are home tests to self-swab and get a diagnoses. those are the tests running out. they require you to send off the sample overnight, have to report the results. some people want to do it in their own discretion and get the result and make a decision how they will use that information. those are the tests that are in shortage because consumers demand them. they're available in other countries. we didn't take adequate steps going back a long way to scale the production of these kinds of technologies. >> dana: last question to you. you say the intelligence community should be allowed and prepared and resourced enough to be able to help prevent another pandemic. >> look, historically we've left the overseas mission of spotting emerging threats to the cdc and public health agencies and good graces of other nations. we entered into agreements through the world health organization. we know time and time again countries withheld information. chinese government did it in this case. i don't think we can rely on international agreements alone and capacity building in nations that are host to emerging threats to warn us. we have to get our overseas intelligence agencies engaged in the mission and public health community will push back. they don't want to see the c.i.a. getting involved but we are going to have to do that. >> dana: good luck with the book. pick it up. >> trace: faa is seeking help from the airlines for unruly passengers. 3200 mask-related complaints this year alone. violations have continued despite a 0 tolerance policy. the faa giving carriers a week to report back with solutions and you see the majority of those are what you and dr. gottlieb were talking about. mask violations because they get confusing guidance. airlines want you to have them if you are fully vaccinated and remind you over and over again and people get frustrated. >> dana: i'm so scared for this to happen on one of my flights coming up. everyone be nice. follow the rules but also the rules need to be clear. >> trace: and they're not. >> dana: president biden getting a dose of critical coverage from the mainstream media. how long will that last? howie kurtz is on deck. ♪♪♪ t newshomeowners. newday's refi rate is the lowest in their history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. one call can save you thousands every year. and it's easy. there's no money out of pocket and no upfront fees. and while some banks are raising their rates, newday is holding the line for veterans. lock in your rate. >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story. this couple was on a camping trip... ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ growing up in a little red house, on the edge of a forest in norway, there were three things my family encouraged: kindness, honesty and hard work. over time, i've come to add a fourth: be curious. be curious about the world around us, and then go. go with an open heart, and you will find inspiration anew. viking. exploring the world in comfort. people were afraid i was contagious. i felt gross. it was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. four years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections —some serious— and the lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. learn more at cosentyx.com. some carriers will give you just one measly entertainment subscription. one is no fun. with verizon there's up to seven entertainment subscriptions with your unlimited plan. that's 7 times the...

>> bottom line. still no sign of the 23-year-old person of interest, brian laundrie. the search has resumed here at the nature preserve. laundrie is desired for questioning regarding the now-confirmed homicide or death rather of his 22-year-old fiance gabby petito. this morning the search teams returned to the nature preserve looking for any clue as to brian laundrie's whereabouts. brand-new video shot this morning from the tampa fox helicopter. you can see down there on the ground law enforcement using drones, dogs, atvs as well as feet penetrating the 25,000 acre carlton reserve where the terrain is rough, swarming, much of it underwater and alligators and snakes to deal with. the area where laundrie's parents say their son went for a hike on tuesday. after three full hot and rainy days ooh looking inside his whereabouts are still unknown. the teton county coroner confirmed yesterday the body found sunday is in fact petito concluding the matter of death homicide. she and laundrie had been on a cross-country road trip visiting the country's national parks. in august moab, utah police questioned the young couple after somebody dialed 911 to report a guy was slapping a girl in the face. she said he just pushed or grabbed her face. on monday the f.b.i. and north port police executed a search warrant at the laundry family house taking out multiple boxes of potential evidence. things like computers, hard drives and cell phones. when laundrie and petito left for their big long road trip across the country they had both been living at the laundrie house with his parents. when brian laundrie returned there september 1st, he was with the white van but gabby petito was not with him and he has not spoken to police at all. >> dana: they've been searching that area for 2 1/2 days now, phil. keep us posted. thank you. >> trace: meantime for more on where the investigation goes from here a former f.b.i. special agent for tampa, florida. thank you for joining us here. give us an idea for investigative purposes why it is so important kind of going back to wyoming, why is it so important we get an exact cause of death for gabby petito in this case? >> absolutely. thank you. the cause of death is very crucial at this point because you are going to look for basically the crime scene at spread creek, you will look for evidence of a struggle. you will look for dna evidence or fingerprint evidence on gabby herself. you will look for a possible murder weapon such as a blunt object but it could be anything. a camp site, they lived in their ford transit for several months. there is plenty of objects in there. that could be used as a weapon. >> trace: you talk about dna but a couple that was together for several months. we know they had this altercation. we see the video on the screen there and there is a potential that gabby may have scratched brian laundrie so maybe she has dna under her fingernails. in a case like this in such close quarters for such a long time is dna still valuable to this case? >> absolutely. i think dna would be valuable. i know they had physical altercations but the evidence such as maybe a bite mark or dna under the skin or fingerprints on her person, if it be her neck or other areas, just provides and builds the case for that substantial evidence for that case. >> trace: so it appears police will go back to the carlton reserve today, an area mostly water. 75%. 83 miles in hiking trails and so forth. do you think they are going there because of science? have they gleaned something, or is this a shot in the dark and another chance to clear this area and move on? >> absolutely. the law enforcement has to cover every lead no matter how difficult it is and they have to run it to ground. right now the only lead for brian's whereabouts is carlton preserve. so until other information comes to light, that's what they have to focus on. >> trace: we've been showing this police body camera of the altercation when they had this. i want to play this sound bite from a forensic psychiatrist talking about gabby's mannerisms and voice. i want to play this and get your thoughts on the other side. watch. >> she was an upset young woman. very incoherent as times and keeps blaming herself and that is something that fits the profile of a domestic abuse victim. >> trace: she kept blaming herself. we don't know the bottom line. witnesses said he was hitting her. she said he wasn't hitting her. what do you make of that lastly, sir? >> absolutely that could all play a part of it. it could be some type of stockholm syndrome. just from open reporting, you can see their relationship and i guess the abuse and the ups and downs of their psyche. but it is very difficult to intervene in those situations especially when you are living with a family for a year whose son you are engaged to and they've been high school sweethearts since high school. it's very difficult. >> trace: it is very difficult. james, thank you for the insight and we appreciate it. what i didn't get to with him is the fact that, you know, this car, this mustang that was down in the carlton reserve and the parents picked it up and you wonder if police are also looking at the parents of brian laundrie saying there may be some tampering with them involved in this entire case and future charges down the road for them as well. >> dana: there is so much to be gleaned from all the digital equipment. phones possibly, anything that the van had in it such as a gps system or an alexa, all those things. we'll continue to keep an eye on it. f.b.i. director christopher wray appearing before a house committee this morning after testifying yesterday where several republicans criticize the bureau for investigating a potential trump/russia connection following a meeting with michael sussman, a former lawyer for the clinton campaign. >> the f.b.i. director appearing as he did yesterday to talk about the terror threats to the united states from around the globe but couldn't get away from a line of questioning about michael sussman, the attorney for the clinton campaign in 2016. he essentially went to the f.b.i. according to special counsel john durham saying he had information about donald trump and russia. john durham claims sussman was not clear with the f.b.i. who he was working for when he delivered that information. yesterday two senators, republicans rand paul and ron johnson pressed the f.b.i. director on the indictment especially the part where sussman came to the f.b.i. and said he had information about donald trump that turned out not to be true. listen here. >> you guys took it look, line and sinker and said we'll investigate a major presidential candidate. of course it's a huge problem. >> there needs to be political accountability. i hope john durham has a whole lot more. >> we've been working closely with special counsel durham. >> another non-response. >> michael sussman is the second indictment since the beginning looking at the origins of the russia probe. f.b.i. lawyer there clinesmith pleaded guilty a year ago to falsifying a document. to be fair it's standard practice the f.b.i. director chris wray would not discuss an ongoing open investigation. it is not unusual he wouldn't speak more directsly on the sussman indictment before members of congress. no questions thus far this morning for wray on the subject but we'll be watching. >> dana: d.o.j. when i was a spokesperson i learned 101 ways to say no comment because of all the legal man ooufrk. -- maneuvering. >> trace: a stunning admission on afghan siv holders in the u.s. what it reveals about the chaotic he vaciations that are still underway. >> dana: in his first speech before the united nations president biden touting the withdrawal. senator deb fischer about what it says on the current state of foreign policy. >> the president is delusional about us not being a war. he made the war far more dangerous than what it was before. lacking intelligence on the ground if places like afghanistan. making it a more dangerous region. ows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

>> i think we need to paint a picture and continue to paint a picture for the american people. the biden administration has put our soldiers, citizens, our allies at risk. and for what? an arbitrary deadline and political theater. their actions left american citizens and siv partners abandoned in afghanistan. so we did have a closed hearing in armed services yesterday. with the secretary trying to get some information. i know there were some members who were frustrated. i was frustrated as well at some points because it wasn't a classified briefing, it was a closed briefing. i couldn't get some information i wanted on our ct operations and over the horizon operations that we're doing. >> dana: what were the questions and concerns you have that you didn't get an answer to? >> i just wanted to know how effective those operations will be in the future. obviously the secretary has information on that. i hope that he will provide it. i hope that we will continue to have these hearings. i want them to be open hearings whenever possible because we need to get to the bottom of this. i hear it all the time from the american people. they want answers. i want answers. i understand that some information has to remain classified but this was a huge blunder. this was a debacle. we have an administration that we're seeing a foreign policy failure after foreign policy failure. our allies don't know who we are anymore. >> dana: we made promises to people we did not keep and it is not the american way. >> exactly. >> dana: nikki haley gave a comment yesterday after president biden's speech where she said the speech ignored the reality and seriousness of america's threats and enemies. china, russia, iran, nourk and afghanistan and terrorism. she said joe biden asleep at the switch our friends don't trust us and our enemies are rejoicing. what did you think of the speech? >> a total misstep on the part of the president. another wasted opportunity in trying to show the world that america is a leader. it was a failed speech and when we look at what our allies are thinking i can tell you firsthand they are questioning if the united states will be there. we have nato partners who are worried about our commitment to nato. but i can tell you one group that isn't questioning where they believe we're at and that's the jihadists. they are inspired by what they see in the united states and the biden administration right now. they are using this blunder in afghanistan as a recruitment tool. we are not as safe as a country right now because of what we saw as a debacle in afghanistan. >> dana: sounds like it was quite a hearing yesterday even though it was closed. we are glad you can tell us more about it. deb fischer, thank you. >> peers morgan accused the media of turning a blind eye when it comes to coverage of last month's drone strike in kabul. >> the media has done what it has done with horrible regularity throughout the biden presidency. what joe does something awful and responded with a sigh. how dare you turn such a disinterested blind eye. turns out the drone strike killed an aide worker after the biden white house claimed it took out an isis-k terrorist. a total of 10 civilians died in the attack and you had, you know, the joint chiefs mark milley at that time saying it was a righteous attack. they didn't have all the information. didn't turn out to be a righteous attack. the media never went after mark milley for that statement and other problems. >> dana: d.o.d. says they're standing by the intelligence they had for that. next tuesday, september 28th, they will be milley and austen will be testifying. we'll get the answers they give if they give any. next on "america's newsroom," the democrats playing by two sets of rules over the border crisis. one for them and another for republicans. >> not only did they ignore us, they said they had more efficient ways to deal with this and now we had at the top of this we had 14,872 people under that bridge. if that's efficient, then our government is broken. >> dana: where else are the democrats being hypocritical amid the unfolding chaos?

u.s. taxpayers cannot bail out all the source countries they're coming from. >> of course he is being hypocritical but i'm not sure how committed biden is to this open borders agenda. if maintaining his political viability or limiting the political damage to himself entails some hypocrisy, he can live with that. most politicians can. i won't even safe he is all that unusual in that respect. >> speaker pelosi said she is monitoring the situation on the border now. charles schumer said we can't continue the policies of trump in talking about the situation in del rio. but president biden has released about 43,941 migrants. more this month and agents tell me the pipeline is full and the root cost to them is releasing migrants encourages more and we need to rely on mexico to bottle it up. >> dana: judges are backed up processing the cases. >> trace: despite the biden administration says people are facing deportation. others say others are being into the united states. bill melugin showed us photos of haitians seated an commercial flights jetting to cities across america. kevin mccarthy ripped the biden administration. watch. >> these images don't show a border under control as president biden promised. instead, they are a picture of chaos, incompetence and a crisis. this is more than a disaster, it is a direct threat to american safety. >> trace: a couple who lives in del rio, texas. you and your neighbors have got to be furious. what are you seeing on the ground? what are you hearing from folks there? >> it's just tragic. it is tragic what's going on here and we are oef frightened, scared. what frightens us is we have a madman and racist making and using people to advance his political agenda to collapse our border and change our style of government and that's scaring us. to use these people like they are being used is just unconscionable. it shouldn't be done. that's what he is doing. and this is all planned. this didn't just happen overnight. this is not a spur of the moment deal. it has been going on for a long time. >> dana: the president said he plans to get the situation under control. let's take a look at this quick clip from yesterday. >> mr. president, what is your reaction to the images on the southern border? >> president biden: get it under control. >> get it under control or you have it under control? >> president biden: we will get it under control. >> dana: tell me what you see in terms of your community. i know there are thousands of people there that have to be fed and they have to try to provide some humanitarian considerations for them. what are you witnessing? >> it is horrible, absolutely horrible. i can't believe any plan should have been done a better way. they should have had a place for these people to be rather than just be there, run into the river, get infections and get diseases. i don't know where the money is coming from feed the people when we have so many homeless people and people living on the streets. they keep signing the checks and sending this money. they have no plan whatsoever. i personally as an immigrant, i love this country, i love america, i am heartbroken over what is happening and i just pray to god that this will change soon. it has really been difficult for me to witness that. i sympathize with them but i sympathize with us as well because they should have not left their home. the administration keeps saying we told them not to come. that's easier said than done. you don't do that. and i've gone through immigration areas in the middle east in 1967, dana, when we had an influx of people come to jordan from the west bank. they provided blankets. >> dana: we hear you and share your empathy. you are an immigrant yourself and you empathize. thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> answer a question about biden's comment yesterday? >> dana: i wanted to make sure your wife had a chance to speak. if you want to comment quickly. president biden says he will get it under control. >> president biden had to drop out of a presidential race for lying and i don't think you can trust anything the man says. >> dana: all right. that's a strong opinion. we appreciate you being on the show. thank you so much. >> trace: one of the things they talked about earlier, dana, they were concerned about the covid numbers because jen psaki said yesterday the idea is to come in and test them and make sure they're in quarantine is the hope and they're not. as we learned over the past 3 or 4 months they aren't placed in quarantine they are taken to hotels and wherever and it's one of the big problems people living on the border have. they don't know how many of these haitian migrants coming across are covid positive when you had just these migrants from the northern triangle countries 18% of them were covid positive and the question remains how many of these migrants are covid positive? it's a big concern for people on the border. >> dana: vaccines are the answer and one of the things you'll hear from the president today, maybe the vice president as well, summit she is holding they plan to ramp up the number of vaccines they can get to third world countries but in addition to that we have the situation at the border where vaccines are being offered and sometimes refused, trace. >> trace: because of scenes like you just saw president biden's poll numbers are dropping below 50% in multiple swing districts across the country iowa, new hampshire and michigan. how might it affect democrats in the 2022 mid-term he loek shuns? -- elections? good morning to you. >> a prime example in iowa. check out president biden's approval in the latest polling. 31% of iowans approve of how the president is doing his job. 62% disapprove. congresswoman cindy is a target. she did not receive more than 50% support district wide in 2018 or 2020. congressman tom emmers, his team identified places gop candidates can capitalize on the president's weak poll numbers. >> he is under 50% in all of these swing districts and some places he is under 40% in terms of approval. it means a lot. it will make a big difference in places like iowa where there is a swing seat in play. it will make a big difference in new hampshire and a difference in virginia, a difference in michigan. it is very important. >> even in blue virginia the "washington post" poll has the president with 46% approval while 51% disapprove. nrcc has two top targets there. congresswoman spang berger where president trump won and the campaign chair is emphasizing delivering for constituents. >> these are historic things we're doing in the rescue plan, the build back better plan, infrastructure plan and we're getting them done. that's what we'll run on and california suggests voters will prefer it. >> democrats have a three-seat majority right now. it wouldn't take much to flip control of the house. trace. >> trace: mike emmanuel live in d.c. >> dana: the border crisis and other factors driving down the president's poll numbers. what it could mean for the mid-terms and a tale of two world leaders yesterday. one talking to reporters, the other staying silent. >> if joe biden doesn't take questions from journalists and therefore isn't accountable, we have the question is he actually fit and proper and competent to be doing the job?

this is so odd. why did they yell and cut off boris johnson mid sentence? this makes absolutely -- it makes absolutely no sense. this is the u.k. leader. one of our closest allies. the enormous situation with the nuclear sub deal and australia. a lot of questions the press have and it is extremely odd to see even in the way that boris johnson talked about it at the beginning it is almost as if he is asking for permission. just a couple, just a couple. can we please essentially just speak to -- >> it made me say the staff had talked to each other and said no question. boris johnson had a diplomatic win. that was finally getting the biden administration to allow u.k. residents to be able to travel to the united states and he would like a chance to be able to say that. >> absolutely. and you and i were just talking about this in the break. when you watch what is happening on the southern border and you see people pouring across and thousands of people being transported the reporting they're getting, a lot more haitians being brought deeper into the country and texas and let off in different places and they aren't being covid tested or vaccinated. i don't understand. why are we sending vaccines around the globe and compared to that a handful of people, maybe 10,000, 15,000 that you could easily say before you get on this van or this bus you have to be vaccinated or we'll send you back. how easy with that be. they don't want to admit they were here for any length of time and it makes no sense. europeans are not allowed in and neither are brits. >> dana: jen psaki answered a question about the migrants and covid from peter doocy. she said but they aren't planning to stay here long term. i think they are planning that. >> absolutely. even if you want to be benevolent and generous with our vaccine program here is a great opportunity, right? people coming into the country you aren't supposed to be here, we'll send you back but give you a vaccine and that way you can help the country you go back to you'll be safer there as well. i think it makes no sense that we aren't vaccinating these people and such a double standard. there is all this discussion about the way the border patrol is handling and texas rangers are handling the migrants as they come across and it's discriminatory. we have not been letting europeans and british residents, many of whom have family members in the u.s. into this country for two years. don't tell me that this is different behavior for different races. we have not been letting people in for two years. >> dana: there was other double standards. you love this story. they keep happening. the mayor of san francisco, london breed was seen dancing at a club. that would be fine except her own rule says you aren't supposed to do that inside. you are supposed to wear a mask inside. she said we don't need the fun police to come. as greg gutfield said on the five she is the fun police. >> the bottom line. people were told if they were vaccinated they wouldn't have to wear the masks anymore. that idea has been engrained in people. the fact of the matter is that you should wear a mask if you feel uncomfortable in any of those situations but she is a hypocrite because she is claiming one thing and doing another and that's where -- but you can tell her gut is probably telling her she is okay because she is vaccinated and puts herself in that situation. i'm hearing a lot about what's happening in schools and kids with masks in colleges and the double standards of what kids are being told at universities about their vaccines and whether or not they count and they want to be double vaccinated if they were -- it's so many people running the operations. we're getting a lot of mixed signals. >> dana: no wonder people are losing trust. and patience. martha maccallum, see you on "the story" at 3:00. we'll watch it there. back to you, trace. >> trace: thank you, no work, no school and no way for women to go in afghanistan. trey yengst speaks with afghans on new rules taliban official efs are enforcing rolling back years of progress and that story just ahead. their lowest rate in history.ts two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. save thousands every year and there are no upfront costs. not one dollar. the newday low rate refi. take advantage of these record low rates so you and your family can save. i suffered with psoriasis for so long. it was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. i'm still clear, five years now. cosentyx works fast to give you clear skin that can last. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections --some serious-- and the lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. i look and feel so much better. see me. ask your dermatologist if cosentyx could help you move past the pain of psoriasis. if you have this... and you get this... you could end up with this... unexpected out-of-pocket costs. which for those on medicare, or soon to be, is a good reason to take charge of your health care. so consider this. an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcare. why?

>> as for the taliban they claim things will slowly get better for women and changes are for religious reasons. >> why not we have a separate rule for that. islam will give them also the same rights. >> it is important to remember the taliban's version of sharia law doesn't represent islam. they view the quran through a lens that is tribal and extreme. trace. >> trace: trey, thank you. you look at this whole thing from 30,000 feet and think you have lawyers and doctors and women who are on boards and city councils now that are very fearful of their future, their careers and certainly their daughters. >> dana: i remember listening to a speech condoleezza rice gave in 2009 and she was explaining to a group that you absolutely have to consider the economic issues as well. forget in terms of human rights for women but that you have 50% of your population, the potential for them to be educated and to be able to create jobs, to fulfill needs that you need as a society and in one fell swoop they will make all of them stay home and i understand why they're fearful and upset especially the younger women who had a chance to go to school and now are being told they have to stay home. it has to be completely demoralizing. >> trace: if you're 20 years old you lived under an american system for the past 20 years and now being told you have to change. >> dana: it is not right. that is for sure. on a lighter note i wanted to show you this, trace. we have a little bit of a caper that happened in a doggy daycare in dover, new jersey. we have this dog. i have to get out of here. he opened the door and everybody got out. so looks like they had a lot of dogs. that looked like a fun place to be. i'm sure that dog is being considered a hero to the other dogs and a men as to the people who run it. >> they should nickname the dog butterer fly. the last month to ever escape from alcatraz. a great escape. book. boom. can you wait until i get out the door before you land on my back for crying out loud? >> dana: indeed. how is your dog boo? >> my dog boo is getting old but hanging in there. yeah. >> dana: he is a good boy indeed. great to have you today. we have a big show coming up tomorrow as well. a preview for that show in the morning. harris faulkner is up next. here is the "the faulkner focus". >> harris: breaking news at this hour as thousands of migrants are massing at our southern border, a stunning new report now on where the government is going to send them. i'm harris faulkner. you are in "the faulkner focus". the administration had claimed it would be deporting those thousands of mostly haitian migrants but the associated press is reporting the government instead has released many of them into other cities in texas and put some on flights to tucson, arizona. 9,000 migrants are living underneath the bridge we've been showing you in del rio, texas. that number as of yesterday.
