mayorkas testified on capitol hill for a second day in a row and he continues to point to a decrease in apprehensions. don't know where he gets it but here he is. >> the data from august which i think will shed light -- >> the question is how many immigrants have we apprehended this year? i'm not worried about august. i understand august you put a focus on it because you found out the american public doesn't like what you are doing. let me keep going and ask you. >> that's not accurate. your prior statement was inaccurate but i would look forward and in fact meeting. >> that's my opinion, okay. so i'm entitled to my opinion. >> harris: texas governor greg abbott says the president has to do something now. >> the only thing they've shown is an incapability of dealing with this crisis where they pretend it doesn't even exist. it's total chaos. the biden administration needs to up their game big time. >> harris: we have watched it together at this hour day-by-day the situation turning more chaotic. three immigration officers were injured after deporting a group of migrants back to haiti. at least two separate incidents on that tarmac you are seeing here and as the news breaks at this hour, in focus we'll have three of the 26 republican governors who are demanding a meeting with president biden. first, though, let's go to bill melugin live at the border in del rio, texas. >> this report from the associated press that thousands of these migrants are being released into the u.s. it shouldn't come as a surprise. the biden administration has been doing this all year long. more than 600,000 have been released into the u.s. look at the ongoing situation under the bridge here in dell real owe right now. last check 6,722 migrants are still living under the bridge. those numbers as of this morning. you can see they are using sticks and plants to build structures. all of them waiting. take a look at the second camera on scene here so you can get the scope of how big this camp is. again it has been more than cut in half but certainly doesn't look like that from the ground here. it looks like it still has the same capacity. you can see there they are loading up the vans and buses trying to get them out of here as fast as they can but again, you take a live look at the drone overhead. this camp size is still massive and now we have this reporting from the associated press that these migrants are being released into the united states with ntas and ntrs and we see evidence of that. look at photos. our photographer was on a flight out of del rio with several haitian migrants. one man was put in the x it row and didn't speak english and another journalist alley bradley post evidence these photos on her flight out of del rio saying her flight was full of migrants. some were going to orlando, maryland and new york. we have this situation in port-au-prince haiti yesterday from a journalist there. once the deportation flight landed on the tarmac dhs confirms there were two separate scuffles, incidents, whatever you want to call them where they revolted and three ice agent ended up getting hurt. listen to what texas governor greg abbott said about biden's border policies. >> 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. >> texas governor greg abbott said he never heard back from president biden when he reached out and asked for a federal emergency declaration in texas for what is happening over my shoulder. send it back to you. >> harris: a quick correction there. it was brandon judd. bill, thank you very much. here is part of the store eave that is developing today. 26 republican governors now want action and they are now demanding president biden meet with them within the next two weeks. yeah, they have a deadline on this. they've written a letter all together and you see at the end of the letter they've all signed it as chief executives of our states we request a meeting with you at the white house to bring an end to the national security crisis created by eight months of unenforced borders. it's about a page and a half. three governors are in focus now. doug doocy of arizona, hutchinson of arkansas and kemp of georgia. governor doocy i want to start with a letter and find out what you hope to accomplish. we can't even get the president to take our questions in the press. >> it is time for the biden administration to act. border security has been seen as something that the southern states have to deal with on the border. the reason that you have governor hutchinson and governor kemp from arkansas and georgia is because something that has become national security because we don't know who is coming over the border and has become public safety. the drugs and crime we're seeing rising in our states and flooding over the border is infecting our schools and neighborhoods. more than half the nation's governors, all republican, have demanded a meeting with president bide than. -- biden. it is a federal issue. we want to work with them but the time for action is right now. >> harris: the federal government is not responding to request for help and all of it governor kemp. at one point you would think that the white house would get back with a plan. they did send fema several months ago and now they've asked for more troops. but we have -- for some troops. we have a situation that's more urgent than a plan on a wall. >> well harris, we have over 200 georgia national guard troops down there now and have been for a long time. i visited them back at the end of the trump administration and what is happening now and what has happened several months ago in mcallen, texas, drastically different because the policies have changed. the messaging changed from the biden administration and they need to act. we're glad to send more troops but the question to me or the tape earlier about the apprehensions, what about the people that aren't being apprehended? how many people are coming across undetected? it's the governors who have to deal with those individuals. >> harris: we struggle to get exact numbers in realtime and they'll release a number at the end of each month but it helps to know in realtime. we know it's 3,000 people every day now that are trying to get into this country. the president put the vice president in charge of this, though. i want to get to this and governor hutchinson i will come to you. vice president kamala harris speaking out now on the border crisis but only to condemn border patrol agents on the front lines who were accused of mistreating haitian migrants in del rio. >> what i saw depicted of those individuals on horse back treating human beings the way they were is horrible. and i fully support what is happening right now which is a federal investigation. human beings should never be treated that way and i'm deeply troubled about it. >> harris: curious to know how much digging in to the facts they have done. the democratic congressman from texas, henry cuellar defended the border patrol officials, watch. >> if there was a problem it should be investigated and that's it. but we cannot paint the border patrol with the same type of paint brush. what are they supposed to do, just stand there and let everybody come? they are supposed to be enforcing the law. >> harris: this has been going on for eight months and the one incident that this vice president leans in on is something that as you heard a democrat says simply needs to be investigated. it is not the whole thing of what's going the board are. >> border patrol is what is standing and supporting our national security. we need to support our border patrol. they're doing an amazing job with difficult challenges. as a congressman said if there is any issue it can be reviewed. by and large they have a very difficult job. let me emphasize a couple of points. first of all, this all started as governor doocy said because there is a change of policy in the biden administration. the wrong signal was sent to our counterparts aif cross the globe that we have an open border and this is the result of it that is a border in chaos. the only way you can reverse that and i this i the biden administration sees the need to do it, is that you have to change policy. but even more significantly you have to put federal resources there that sends the signal that we're serious about protecting the border. these are not complicated steps. these need to be done. the fact that 26 governors have signed that letter is a strong signal that this is a mess and adversely impacting all of our states. >> harris: i want to talk now about the implications of you having to knock on the door of the white house, for lack of a better term when you write a letter like the one you've written. governor kemp, that has to be an outlier in how normal business is done. i have to think there is some level of frustration that it has come to this. normally you would be able to pick up the phone, right? you are a chief executive of your states reaching out to our nation's chief executive. i would imagine he would want to take a call. >> the frustrating thing for me, harris, when you are in the executive branch the citizens of your state and country want to take action when there is a crisis. and unfortunately the vice president and this task force i haven't seen anything from them about any policy positions or change in anything from the disaster that we're seeing right now. this current situation in del rio, this is just one of the examples. this has been going on, as you mentioned, for months and months. we're willing to help. i am willing and the georgia national guard to send more people but they have to ask for that. it is not as if we're demanding something. we want to be part of the solution as well. this is a federal issue. the federal government is supposed to protect our borders. we've been glad to help. the texas state troopers have to patrol the border because the federal government will not. it's outrageous. the states will deal with gang members and drugs and other things flooding over the borders. >> harris: it is already happening which is why you have banded together. i don't know if we have the video from over the weekend. they had to take patrol cars, law enforcement and border patrol to stop the people flowing into the country. they had to build a barricade of vehicles to keep the human beings from crossing into the country. they all have to be processed. now we learn, governor ducey, we know from governors kemp and hutchinson it will fan out in ways of drug cartels and sex trafficking and those horrible situation. the immediacy is what about those families living along the border? what is happening to them, governor ducey and what is happening to their lives? >> these ranchers are under assault. their way of life has dramatically changed. this white house doesn't listen to governors. it doesn't value governors or talk to the governors. it looks at us as lower middle managers in their federal corporation. where is kilometer? -- kamala harris? she hasn't come to arizona. mayorkas is non-responsive and biden is trying to change the news doing vaccine mandates. we'll partner with the federal government. we have sent law enforcement to places like arizona and texas and we're grateful but we need the full faith and force of the federal government and we should be supporting the border patrol. they're down there, with this administration giving them 19th century technology when we know that walls work, we know that drones work, we know that surveillance works and then there should be a clear message the border is not open. joe biden and kamala harris both raised their hand in the first debate and said they would offer free healthcare to people that illegally crossed the border. they need to correct their messaging right away. >> harris: can we get them vaccinated if we let them fan out across the country? we are oef in the middle of a pandemic. does the white house care or not? we'll make sure we follow you. any governor can take that. >> that's the other part of this. we talked about the national security crisis and the public safety crisis. you can see the humanitarian crisis when you look at del rio. that should be labeled bidenville until they clean this up. and then there is the public health crisis that we're experiencing. we're all battling, promoting and advocating vaccines trying to keep our citizens safe and the administration seems to forget about that as people come over the border illegally. they should be returning them to their country. they should be enforcing title 42. they should be finishing the wall and they should be sending a clear message that the border is not open. >> harris: thank you for giving our viewers on "the faulkner focus" an idea of exactly what you will say to the president should you sit down. quickly anybody heard from the president since you sent your letter? yes or no. >> no. >> nothing. >> we haven't yet. >> harris: thank you very much for your time today. chief executives in your state, three of 26 demanding a meeting with the president of the united states. appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> harris: did you hear him? they're calling it bidenville now down at the border. after mocking it and blocking it, the media are finally coming around to the truth about hunter biden's laptop nearly a year after big tech companies censored the "new york post" story because of emails discovered on that computer. >> law enforcement right now you can call him a person or interest or suspect. they look at him as a possible suspect and really likely as a strong suspect. >> harris: the search for brian laundrie after the death of gabby petito is ruled a homicide. nancy grace host of crime stories on fox nation, my friend, steps in focus next. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer

responsibility is to po tekt the american people. and i'm proud that we've gone from 2 million americans being fully vaccinated when i took office january 20th to 182 million and counting today in america. but we also know that to beat the pandemic here we need to beat it everywhere and i made and i'm keeping the promise that america will become a arsenal of vaccine as we are for the arsenal for democracy during world war ii. we've already shipped nearly 160 million doses to 100 countries, more than every other country has donated combined. america's donations is half a billion pfizer vaccines through covax that i announced before the g-7 summit in june from begun to ship. i'm announcing another commitment. the united states is buying another half billion doses of pfizer donate to low and middle income countries around the world. this is another half billion doses that will all be shipped by this time next year. it brings our total commitment of donated vaccines to over 1.1 billion vaccines to be donated. put another way, for every one shot we've administered to date if america we have now committed to do three shots to the rest of the world. i want to thank pfizer and ceo and chairman albert. he has been a good friend and helpful. they've been and continue to be partners and a leader in this fight. the united states is leading the world on vaccination donations. we need as we're doing that we need another high income countries to deliver on their own ambitious vaccine donations and pledges. that's why today we're launching the -- as we do so we should unite around the world on a few principles. we commit to donating, not selling, donating, not selling doses to low and lower income countries and that the donations come with no political strings attached. we support covax as the main distributor. we fight vaccine disinformation and exercise transparency to build vital public trust in the life-saving tools. it is also important that we are working toward common goals and targets to measure our progress and hold ourselves and each other accountable. secretary of state blinken will be convening foreign ministers later this year to check on our collective progress. and i propose that we come together for a second high-level virtual summit in the first quarter of 2022. >> harris: we wanted to step in it. was a live event at the white house. i want to point out a couple of things. a complete shift aif way from what we know is a disaster unfolding on the border. so much so they're trying to send large planes to tarmacs to take haitians back but only managed to take back 100 of them. one of my questions for the president when he ever decides to take them again 1.3 million people entered this country during his presidency so far. are any of them going to be vaccinated? is he saving some of those vaccines for the people here? you heard the three republican governors who joined me moments ago talking about our border and they forcast the president will make a shift in topic. my question, it is our border he might want to focus on not other country's borders. we can help them without making an announcement. the president at the white house putting out the good news that we'll help others. we've been helping them for a while. that's who we are. we're america. let's move on. the a body discovered at the wyoming campsite is gabby petito. the initial autopsy ruled the death a homicide. how she died will be revealed in the final report. the search for her boyfriend, brian laundrie is intensifying. investigators continue to comb the wildlife preserve near his parents florida home. they say they haven't seen him since september 14th after the crisscross country trip without gabby petito on september 1st. neighbors of the laundries say they're horrified by the family's lack of cooperation with law enforcement. >> i think it was them protecting their son but i think they just took it too far. if their son was innocent i don't feel that they should have loaded him up as soon as he came back into the state and i felt that if he had nothing to do with it, then they should have released the statement somehow stating his innocence. >> harris: they also tell fox news that for few days brian was home without gabby it was business as usual. they saw him mowing the lawn and going for a bike ride with his mom. nancy grace is with us in focus. good to see you. what are your thoughts about what is playing out with the laundrie family? >> i think the parents started by doing whatever they could to protect brian laundrie but then when gabby is found dead, not just dead, killed, homicide, i think at this point it is no longer just protecting your son, they are part of it now. and we're hearing from the teton county medical examiner the manner of death is homicide. there is a big difference between manner and cause. five manners, accident, natural, suicide. cause of death is what i'm looking at. was she struck, was there blunt trauma or strangled? hasn't been released yet. you know they know the cause of death. they immediately said this is a homicide. they took one look and said she was killed. this is not a suicide. not natural causes, not accident, she was killed. so they know right now what the cause of death is. >> harris: i would have to think this is a step-by-step process and you would know it better than anybody you are building a case at this point. a step-by-step process. you go to the house and put things in order now not because you anticipate you know the answer, but because you anticipate you will have to prove it >> yes, prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and that's where social media users have been so helpful. they spot gabby's van there. listen to this, harris. i got clarification today. there was the van, where the van was parked according to youtube and then there is brush, grass, and i have height in the same area. you have the van, you have brush, you have a creek and on the other side of the creek you've got gabby dead by a log. so point a to point b. i'm sure they're trying to determine was she dragged over there? >> harris: dr. baden joinld us yesterday and they have to discover how the body got where it was. it is a distance from the beaten path and a creek. i want to get to this. police allowing laundrie to go after the incident. one of the park rangers responded to that call thought it was serious enough to pull gabby aside and talk to her about her toxic relationship. she said i was imploring with her to re-evaluate the relationship asking her if she was happy in the relationship with him and basically saying this was an opportunity for her to find another path. i can still hear her voice. she wasn't just a face on the milk carton. she was real to me. nancy. >> you know, harris, the single most dangerous time for an abused woman is when she decides to finally leave. she had a cop talking to her. she had this woman talking to her. she have is out there alone in the wild with brian laundrie. did she decide i've had it? i am seeing who he is on this trip and i want out? is that what led to it? you can't escape the forensics, harris. here is the van and here is gabby's dead body. they have got to find brian laundrie. >> harris: i wanted to ask you before i let you go. you and i have covered stories like natalee holloway together. when you hear the f.b.i. and cops whoever was tasked with this had an opportunity to watch the movements of brian laundrie and the family without breaking any laws. i can watch them from across the street. and then yet he was able to go someplace so far away from the house. what are your thoughts about that? >> you are absolutely right. called plain view. if i can stand on the sidewalk and watch his house so can the cops. their right, too. i hate to pile on the cops. where were they when laundrie just walks out of the house? it's the f.b.i. but think about it. he had to be secreted out. think about it. how did he get out with that ford mustang and nobody see? he had to have help getting out secretly. he didn't just prance out across the front yard. >> harris: interesting. i like the way you put that, too. secretly. because the f.b.i. undoubtedly knows more than they're saying. that's them doing their job. i think we'll find out more. >> god willing. >> harris: thank you nancy. the white house press corps is officially fed up. [reporters shouting] >> harris: when you have no friends. even the most friendly reporters are getting frustrated with biden ignoring their question. >> harris: republicans tearing into president biden for failing to call out our enemies in his united nations speech. the impact it is having on america's standing as a global leader. you just saw him and now senator tom cotton of arkansas is in focus. ♪ ♪ mom! mom! every day can be extraordinary with rich, creamy, delicious fage total yogurt. voiceover: riders. wanderers on the road of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destination. uh, i-i'm actually just going to get an iced coffee. well, she may have a destination this one time, but usually -- no, i-i usually have a destination. yeah, but most of the time, her destination is freedom. nope, just the coffee shop. announcer: no matter why you ride, progressive has you covered with protection starting at $79 a year. voiceover: 'cause she's a biker... please don't follow me in. tide pods ultra oxi one ups the cleaning power of liquid. voiceover: 'cause she's a biker... can it one up whatever they're doing?

is that really what he was trying to say or did he get lost, too? >> i don't know. it won't work. i've spoken with many people senior in the military and intelligence agencies of our government. they say that there is almost no ability to conduct the kind of terror strikes we've been conducting in afghanistan for the last 20 years. i know the president cites countries like yemen or somalia. those countries are on the coast and we have access to them with the navy and surrounded by countries willing to cooperate with us. so we have access to them by the ground as well. not the case with afghanistan. it is a uniquely challenging threat to the united states. now the taliban has driven america out in a humiliating fashion and inspiring jihadists to go back into afghanistan we are more at risk now from afghanistan than we have been in the last 20 years. >> harris: he certain life put a rosie face on it. the "new york post" with a scathing headline. biden's platitudes at the u.n. won't fix his tattered global image. former secretary of state mike pompeo in a new op-ed calling biden's weakness. rather than stand up to our enemies and present the world with strong american leadership in light of the myriad challenges we face president biden chose to focus primarily on climate change. senator cotton. >> yeah, not just our adversaries right now don't have a lot of regard for joe biden. our allies as well. so many of our allies who served alongside us for 20 years in afghanistan like our nato partners were caught by surpriefs by joe biden's ill-planned and disorganized chaotic withdrawal or last week when we made a good deal with australia to provide them nuclear-powered submarines to counteract china but failed a test of diplomacy to keep france informed and pleased and now france has recalled its ambassador from the united states. an almost unprecedented act to express their disappointment and frustration with joe biden. our allies are deeply frustrated with the president as well. >> harris: he is doing a side by at the white house today kind of on the covid situation but he had a clans to sit down with so many of our leaders. pandemic-restricted situation and he didn't take the hours to do that yesterday before he took off. i want to get to this. all of it is having an impact on how people see him now on boekt sides of the aisle. in the midst of the crises facing the country his approval in a key swing state, important in mid-terms in 2022 or run again or any other democrat will find it harder if in the general election you have this trailing behind you. a new poll finds in iowa 62% of people in iowa disapprove of the job biden is doing compared to just 31% who approve. that's a 12% drop in approval from just june. i want to point out that this is lower than donald trump was in that state at any point. biden has driven in just eight plus months democrats to a whole new level and it is not a good one. >> joe biden didn't campaign trying to transform america into a socialist nation or humble us in the world in front of our enemies. that's what he has been trying to deliver for eight months. a lot of democrats who probably voted for joe biden last year are now disaffected and they are beginning to express their disaffection in the polls. if joe biden is polling in iowa he is doing that bad in missouri, ohio, and wisconsin. i can tell you in congress, the democrats are turning into hot bed of cold feet when it comes to passing their record tax hike and spending bill. >> harris: you always give us a bumper sticker and i talk about it for days after. senator cotton, thank you very much. a hot bed of cold feet. this honeymoon appears to be over. just what the senator was talking about. maybe some in the media are in the hot bed of cold feet. some are turning against the president. plus this. >> big tech and big media collude to keep important information from we the people in the run-up to the most important election we have. now the mainstream press too late are coming out with this information. >> harris: the reaction after some important details in the "new york post" hunter biden laptop story have been confirmed. nearly a year after big tech censored that article. egg on their face?

harris: so much love. that was then. the media's once fawning coverage of president biden has taken a sharp turn for the worse as the administration is racking up one crisis after another. howie kurtz host of "media buzz" has more. >> those clips from joe biden's honeymoon phase now look dated as he is getting the most negative coverage of his presidency from haitian migrants overrunning a texas border trounce and covid booster shots. the white house is being portrayed as lurching from one calamity to the next in the shadow of a disastrous pull-out from afghanistan. >> i think he has got a pretty big credibility crisis on his hands. >> i'm so disappointed, so disappointed in the biden administration today. so very disappointed. >> biden isn't facing the outright hostility that defined donald trump's tenure. the press is questioning his basic competence as the images of more than 10,000 badly treated haitians in del rio fill the tv screens. not being trump is not enough. they are focusing on democratic infight on $4 trillion of bills stalled in congress. president biden's governing agenda is at risk on unraveling on capitol hill and not close to deliver ong voting rights or police reform. biden's fortunes could bounce back if he passes the big spending bills. mainstream media are no longer giving him the benefit of the doubt. he wouldn't take questions from shouting american reporters yesterday during a meeting with boris johnson, british reporters got to ask. his approach is low profile and that is hurting him, i think, rather than seizing control of the media agenda. >> harris: look at the swing state numbers, his ratings of approval and disapproval. he have is on a full tilt in the wrong direction. >> a flashing neon light. >> harris: we're only about a year away from the mid-term elections. joe concha, media and politics columnist for the hill check out his piece on this very topic today on the hill. let's get to it. i don't know if you heard senator cotton a few moments ago but he phrased it like this about how the world kind of sees us. the media may be feeling this and democrats seeing the president this way too, a hot bed of cold feet. >> that's a great saying and it's very true. look, the press got fed up yesterday when mr. biden wouldn't take questions. they should have been fed up during the campaign last year or earlier in the administration when this would be a thing not taking questions. it appears now that the president of the united states is attempting to survive the remaining 39 months of his presidency by pleading the fifth and what a juxtaposition. british prime minister taking questions and when it is biden's turn they were escorted out of the room. panicky and yellow bellyed. a new poll found majority of americans don't believe that mr. biden, their words, is competent, focused or effective enough to be president and extremely difficult to reverse those perceptions eptionly when the president runs from reporters at a time when accountability for his decisions is demanded. >> harris: while you were talking we pulled this. let's watch what the white house reporters had to deal with yesterday. >> i think it would be okay if we have a couple of questions, just a couple. and i think we'll be ruthless. i will go to harry from the sun. >> ask him the question. >> i'll take it. >> harris: ooh, boris johnson was ready for ruthless and you are our president said no, not me. >> that's stunning to watch that. the man who received more votes than any candidate in presidential history and look, mr. biden's approval. independence is what i look at. the red and blue cancel each other out. his approval among independents has dropped 18 points in the span of three months. this is a free fall the likes we haven't seen in the modern political era. the president needs more than his press secretary selling hills agenda on police reform or trillions on new spending. he needs to do it and answer the hard questions from the peter doocys and others in the world. if he thinks he can governed by hiding he will fail. >> harris: i will ask my team to go back to this one point. i want people to see what happened at the end of that event and how things may change just as you described them for the president with members of the mainstream media. let's watch. >> i think nobody wants to see anything that interrupts or unbalances the belfast accords. that's the -- [reporters shouting] >> harris: the president silent. members of the white house press pool lodgeed an official complaint with the white house after that. ed o'keefe tweeted his complaints two days in a row tweeting yesterday. johnson took three questions, white house aides shouted down u.s. attempts to ask questions. on monday he said the markets are sliding, the french are furious, unprecedented wave of mostly haitian immigrants at the southern border, twice today the president walked by and didn't take questions. so it's not just a feeling, it is reality. he doesn't want to talk. >> he doesn't. i think it was yesterday. >> harris: or being kept from it. he has even said they told me i can't do this or i can't do that. >> jen psaki told cnn not long ago. we often tell him not to take questions. if you are competent in your argument she was asked when will the president take questions on all the things you mentioned in terms of fda, booster shots and a strike that killed seven children. i will refer you back to last week when the president took questions. are you kidding me? it was before the things happened. she said it was a straight face. this is where we are at this point. again, a president who is free falling in the polls, domestic agenda could easily fail in the coming weeks and he is afraid to take questions and his handlers are afraid for him to take questions. it looks exactly as it is, pathetic. >> harris: you know, the world is watching us now. the u.n. general assembly just this week, right? and we preach freedom of press, free speech, democracy around the world. with a few seconds it's in the constitution. i feel like maybe he doesn't know that part but we don't have credibility when he acts like this on the world stage. >> and he will pay for it and his party will pay forist in 2022. -- for it in 2022. it will be a tsunami. does joe biden run or does his more unpopular vice president take place place or we have a primary situation. >> harris: "outnumbered" after the break. your eligibility for the va home loan. every veteran, every service member out there if you're
