>> white house taking criticism from both sides. >> joe biden won't go down to the border. kamala harris won't go down to the border of the rio grande valley in del rio. they insist these problems aren't happening. >> the biden administration must halt all deportation of haitian migrants. >> of all the president's screw-ups, there is not a single one greater than the crisis at the border. it is a crisis. >> i'm not just unhappy with the cowboys who were running down haitians and using their reins to whip them, i'm unhappy with the administration. >> dana: we're following this from los angeles. good morning, william. >> story is evolving on tro fronts. the camp is shrinking to under 5,000 thanks to mexico stopping bus loads of haitians from moving north and the biden administration trying to make the nightmare disappear by deporting migrants back to haiti and releasing thousands of others to u.s. streets, bus stations and airports with no more than a piece of paper suggesting they show up at a government office in 60 days. the disaster unfolding for the biden administration caught between a rock and hard spot claiming the haitian migrants would be immediately expelled as officials privately admit they're being released on a very large scale. republicans saying enforce the law. democrats begging the president to grant full asylum to everyone. listen to the administration try to have it both ways. >> if you come to the united states illegally, you will be returned. your journey will not succeed and you will be endangering your life and your family's lives. >> many of the individuals who we encounter claim asylum and have a right to have those asylum claims heard as our laws provide. >> so far dhs has flown 13 planes back to haiti filled with mostly single men and women. there is conflicting information whether they are going to up that to seven flights a day or scale it back to two. pregnant women and families with children are being allowed to stay and notice to report to an ice office within 60 days. statistics show 40% will disappear and live here working under the table for cash or with a stolen social security number. even if they're caught, they won't be deported without a criminal conviction. those who do show up generally qualify for cash and other social benefits. dhs is surging 600 additional agents to del rio. the rest of the border is wide open for more drugs and gotaways. right now many don't have any idea who are entering illegally elsewhere. >> they closed the border checkpoints in laredo for 12 hours because they were told send every available border patrol agent. that left those roads open for people to smuggle drugs or people. it has the ripple effect across the border in so many ways. >> the white house said i think yesterday the day before a haitians wouldn't be here long. the average length of stay for a non-criminal alien ice is the 3 days before being released. average length of time on electronic monitoring 655 days. because of the backlog in the courts the average case takes 2 1/2 years to complete generally speaking only 8% who claim credible fear ever actually leave. the ciels is is not over. haiti asked for the moratorium on repatriation flights and mexico is getting unindated with people coming in on their southern border, which is a powder keg. >> trace: mayorkas says -- the biden administration struggles to get a handle on the growing chaos at the southern border. jackie heinrich is live at the white house. good morning to you. >> good morning to you, trace. homeland security secretary count answer congress. they expected he would show up to answer other questions on the second day. that did not happen. mayorkas blaming long workdays and a laser focus on the mission to even be able to say how many haitians are illegally crossing the border. >> congressman, let me share something with you quite clearly. i work 18 hours a day, okay? when i returned from yesterday's hearing, i actually focused on mission. we will get that data both to the senator who posed it yesterday and to you, congressman, today. >> because the department is supposed to have those numbers couldn't answer the question, we asked the white house. they pointed us straight back to dhs and promised us at the white house they would get us the numbers by the afternoon and it never happened. >> i certainly understand why you are asking and people have been asking secretary mayorkas. those are numbers the department of homeland security would have the most up to date numbers. >> the white house is more focused on the image of border agents on horse back apprehending migrants with what perceived to be whips and some calling it reins. some calling it white supremacist behavior and the president was horrified by the incident and dhs is investigating. >> i'll be honest with you all. was not 8,000 or 10,000 black people. it is outrageous. >> the images we've seen at haitians waiting in tent camps to make an asylum claim is a reminder of that. haitian lives are black lives and if we truly believe that black lives matter, then we must reverse course. >> the white house squairl in the center of the criticism coming from the left and right. also this morning new reports just out that the u.s. envoy to haiti has resigned amid all of this tension. daniel foote writing in a letter that he would not be associated with the united states inhumane policy that is sending migrants back or haitians back to a gang-controlled country where the u.s. officials on the ground are in secure compounds. details are developing and get you more when we have that. >> trace: jackie, thank you. >> dana: mind blowing. my next guests are texas lawmakers who witnessed the crisis firsthand and urging the administration to take action. joining me now are texas congressman tony gonzalez and august pfluger. describe it for people. we can see with our own eyes. when you are there outside of the pictures you get the full sense of the enormity of the problem. >> i represent del rio and right now in del rio it is as if a hurricane has hit that small town. border patrol and other law enforcement agencies are doing everything they possibly can. the unity that they've posed to come together to get through this crisis is unlike any other. the latest updated numbers i have as of this morning are 4400 migrants still remaining under the bridge but over 2,000 migrants on the mexican side of the border. the border patrol agents are saving lives just last night one of the migrants delivered a child. they delivered a child underneath the bridge. these are the type of things that are happening every single day throughout not only in del rio but other sectors as well. meanwhile in el paso the el paso agents caught $2 million worth of narcotics. the problem is continuing to grow and spiral out of control and expelling migrants that don't qualify for asylum is part of that solution. >> dana: as you heard there are many democrats now demanding that the administration reverse course. you even had the envoy just resign saying it was wrong to be sending these people who don't qualify for asylum back to haiti. your thoughts. >> it is clear it is a crisis and president biden is getting attacked from both sides of the aisle is because he can't get a handle on this situation. you have a democratic mayor of del rio who has been crying out for help. tony gonzalez is doing a great job. my hometown is two hours of there and tony is getting the story out. what i saw is horrific on saturday. 15,000 migrants. meanwhile yesterday when asking mayorkas a very simple question is the border more secure under your leadership he said it is neither more or less secure. i'm sorry we have 1.5 million illegal immigrants as opposed to 500,000 last year. it is incredibly disastrous what's going on. >> dana: what happens when all the border patrol has to focus on thousands of migrants there in del rio? the border is quite long and we just do not have enough resources to cover all of it. >> there is a national security event that is just brewing. you can see another 9/11 type event on the horizon with everything that the debacle in afghanistan, coupled with a wide open border, southern border creates an environment ripe for disaster for americans. in the big bend sector right over very remote part of the southern border, very few agents and very limited resources. if this administration was serious about protecting the southern border, they would focus on technology. that's a softer -- one of the softer three elements they could to do secure the border. they have done nothing. it's as if the biden administration is waiting for another 9/11 to happen. >> dana: mr. pflueger, what do you think happens in the next few days? you have the biden administration trying to save its legislative agenda on economics and changing all of that. they have that bucket. they have afghanistan continues. all the americans are not out. special immigrant visas are not out. you have inflation concerns and you have this crisis on the border and the only time that they actually have had for example the one in charge, kamala harris, speak to it is when she mistakenly said the border patrol was whipping migrants. >> it's clear they are trying to shift the narrative away from the real disaster whether afghanistan or our southern border. our country is now less secure because of president biden. where are the democrats who just two years ago went to the border and cried out for help? i asked another question to secretary mayorkas yesterday, what is the number of known or suspected terrorists that entered this country? the outgoing border patrol chief who left on his own free will wrote a letter and said it's record numbers. the american public deserves to know that. we won't let the administration shift the narrative aif way from the real disaster. we're less secure because of afghanistan and southern border. we need the president and vice president to go there and acknowledge it is a problem and to defend american interests and american citizens. >> dana: last question mr. gonzalez. with the left now agitating. the president ran as a moderate, that's what he said, a moderate, not part of the bernie sanders wing. now you have the left asking. who do you think ends up winning his attention in this matter? >> i think the loser in all of this is the american public. here you have the house democrats finally getting some of the house democrats finally getting involved nft border crisis not because of the 33 abuse allegations by hhs for migrant children or not by some of the other chaos your seeing but racially driven. out of the 1.5 million migrants that came over. many are brown and have hispanic descent. why was there no outrage then? the loser in all of this is the american public. >> dana: i know secretary mayorkas is not the only one who works 18 hours a day trying to do his work. we know you do as well. appreciate your time this morning. remarkable situation. "new york post" editorial board team biden knows how many illegal migrants it has welcomed. it doesn't want you to know. they say it's every bit as much as the disastrous afghanistan pull-out. a crisis team biden created and its only solution is to play dumb and lie how badly it is continuing to bung will. i'm quite -- i'm not a cynic necessarily but i'm stunned at this situation. >> trace: the "new york post" is right. we could bring william la jeunesse back on set and ask him the numbers of people getting alouded into the country. the administration has the numbers. congressman pflueger is calling on president biden and vice president kamala harris to come to the border. we're unclear if the president has ever been to the border. watch this between peter doocy and jen psaki. >> has president biden ever been to the southern border? >> in his life? i can check and see when he may have been. >> why doesn't he go down to del rio texas to see what's going on? >> the situation at the border is the result of a broken system. the president certainly relies on his experience. >> trace: broken system the president may have exacerbated by taking away all of the modifications president trump made during his four years in office. >> dana: one of the things when the question about kamala harris not going to the border reached a fever pitch she ended up going to the border. >> trace: fox news alert on the hunt for gabby petito's missing boyfriend. the new tactic crews are using searching high and low through a dense and muddy nature reserve. >> dana: after months of hype and controversy hunter biden's artwork is going up for sale. why it could come back to haunt the white house if republicans take back congress. >> the fda authorizing a third covid shot for some americans. dr. marc siegel on what you need to know straight ahead. thousands of veteran homeowners have discovered the power of using their va home loan benefit to get money for their family. we called and we got $58,800. newday lets you borrow 100% of your home's value. i called and got $54,200. near record low rates means lower payments. turn your equity into cash with the newday 100 va cash out loan. we did it again. verizon has been named america's most reliable network by rootmetrics. and our customers rated us #1 for network quality in america according to j.d. power. number one in reliability, 16 times in a row. most awarded for network quality, 27 times in a row. proving once again that nobody builds networks like verizon. that's why we're building 5g right, that's why there's only one best network. oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool?

who do we follow? are you getting the same thing from your patients on guidance and who to follow? >> exactly. a lot of confusion. one thing i want to tell you at least the fda brought in advisory group this time. they may not do it 5 to 11-year-old group. why do i like that? he is one of the top vaccine people in the country. he said it is clear there is a benefit over the age of 60. i said why 65? he said it could have been 60. you are seeing some benefit there. there are 22 million americans who are more than six months out and half of them are over the age of 65 by the way. they will qualify if they got the pfizer bioshot. here is where the confusion comes from. what does it mean you need a booster? what does it mean? what they're measuring is risks of mild infections and does your antibody level go down? you know what? you have a memory of having had that vaccine and that ramps up when you see the virus. so that protects you against severe illness and hospitalization. so there is no reason to think the vaccine doesn't work beyond six months, it is just not quite as effective and we want to prevent spread. that's the other thing. you give a booster, decrease your risk of spread and severe illness. we don't know how long that lasts. the israel data is only a few weeks out. we don't know if the boost we give you will last and endure. the vaccine itself will endure but again it can diminish over time that's with pfizer only. the cdc group is not going to get into moderna i predict. only the pfizer and they won't get into johnson & johnson either yet. >> i want to go over the new documents showing chinese scientists 18 months before the first covid case they wanted to genetically engineer coronaviruss to make it more infectious to humans. the executive director of a group investigating the origins of covid said the following here. this is a roadmap to the high-risk research that could have led to the current pandemic. what do you think about these documents that have been released? >> this is shocking. this group drastic is international scientists looking into the origins and here comes a british scientists name again. here he is 18 months before saying hey, let's get -- defense department blocked this by the way. research group on the united states defense department wouldn't sign off on this which basically says let's pick introduce viruses to bats and let's take engineered coronavirus viruses and introduce them into mice with human lungs and immune cells. this stuff is very dangerous and it was going on. but the idea that the united states was thinking and potentially on the verge of funding this directly. this is gain-of-function research to see how far you can get a virus to go. >> trace: and to think this was actually suppressed by a lot of the media and big tech and we lost a lot of ground and a lot of time. dr. siegel, great to have you on. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: colleges around the nation announcing extreme covid restrictions aimed at curbing the most tiny outbreaks. some are questioning if campuses are becoming more like the klink. facebook under fire. a chief technology officer saying he is stepping down at outcry grows over how much power the social media giant holds. vivek ramaswamy is here to react next. nhistory.s two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. just one call, and you can save thousands every year. there's no money out of pocket and no up front fees. the newday two and a quarter refi. at these rates, you may never need to refinance again. with less moderate-to-severe eczema why hide your skin if you can help heal your skin from within. with dupixent adults saw long-lasting, clearer skin and significantly less itch. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur including anaphylaxis, which is severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems, such as eye pain or vision changes, or a parasitic infection. if you take asthma medicines don't change or stop them without talking to your doctor. talk to your doctor about dupixent.

>> i don't think it's the right thing to do for two reasons. first of all, as i think severe as the problems are with big tech today, i certainly don't want to live in a world in which the largest technology companies in the world are chinese rather than american. i also don't think it will be that effective. the real problem isn't a monopoly on product. it is a monopoly on ideas. if you take the four big companies and break them into 40 small companies but all adhere to the same ideology it will been and ideological cartel instead. we need to break up the ideological cartel and open up the marketplace of ideas. the right fixes will be in the direction of section 230 report big tech and big government using 20th century antitrust rules is the wrong way to go. >> dana: this is just -- i've been reading the story of the hypocrisy of covid restrictions on college campuses. some are insane. there is a piece in a magazine that caught my eye. college campuses have the craziest covid-19 restrictions at all. even if you're vaccinated and outside at a football game you have to wear a mask. another said you can't take your mask off at any time even to eat or drink during class and restricting socializing as well. >> look, sometimes i wonder whether these restrictions are preventing the spread of coronavirus or signaling the virtue of a campus pollz. one thing i say signaling your virtue has become more important than being virtuous. you need to think of the health of your students. i don't think it's coronavirus prevention at all costs but the health of your students in totality. i don't think all colleges have gone this crazy. i spoke at purdue earlier this week. there are good examples of university able to take a sane approach that are managing the health of their students in the right way. i this i where we cross the line is where universities actually want to use masks as a symbol of their virtue rather than thinking about the right ways to prevent the spread of the pandemic. >> dana: thank you vivek. great to see you. >> trace: meantime prince harry and meghan markle are making their way through the big apple. they are visiting the observatory at one world trade center this morning and also be attending this weekend's global citizen live concert in central park. the trip marks the couple's first public outing since the birth of their second child. that was back in june. who knows?

half a million dollars per painting. the white house came up with a plan to keep the names of the buyers confidential but ethics watchdogs are not buying it. molly hemingway is the senior editor of the federalist. six months ago we talked to an art dealer saved if he wasn't the president's son the paintings could go from $2500, $7500 and 10 grand. people willing to pay 50 times that. you would think we should know who these people might be. your thoughts. >> well, the biden family business has always been about giving money to joe biden's son or his brother or other family members for nothing tangible or meaningful in return. and this has been something that the corporate media have not been terribly interested in. why are oligarchs and foreign governments interested in giving money to the biden family and now the added layer of secrecy they can give money to the biden family and we won't even know who they are. >> trace: that's the idea. hunter biden has peddling access for years and years. we have the proof and yet we are letting art dealers now vet the people who are going to be buying these paintings and such things. >> there is corruption throughout much of our government and people do profit off of the power that politicians have. the biden family has really made an art form out of this over the years and they have gotten so much money and this has been a big story but because so much of the corporate media covered up that story when it came to light last year, they don't want to cover what is happening and they don't want to dig into it and they aren't curious. what's fascinating about this they were endlessly curious about a legitimate global business under the previous administration. trump family is known for having real estate throughout the world. it was supposed to be nefarious. we know real else state is a legitimate thing and investigated. here nobody is curious about what are people giving in exchange for giving this money to the biden family? >> trace: they have made an art form out of it. the hunter biden laptop and suddenly "politico" is saying okay, maybe the story is worth coverage. the "new york post" wrote this quoting here, even as "politico" credited its reporter, it added quoting while the leak contains genuine fails it remains possible fake material has been flipped in and say what part? the pictures of hunter smoking crack? you talk about the democrats weaponizing fact checkers and hiding this story before the election. >> yes, "politico" admitted lightly yesterday that the laptop was real. this network knew it was real. excellent reporting done by bret baier and his team at "special report" saying people received this and the excellent interview on the tucker carlson show with explosive details what joe biden knew about the corrupt family business. it was violently suppressed by tech platforms and media companies when it mattered. now they are admitting it lightly but they aren't really going to cover it or really going to investigate. again why are they giving money to this family? how does that affect u.s. policy and the american security. why are so many of these people chinese or other adversaries. the media will not handle that properly. >> trace: i think we just lost your audio. i want to say dana the whole is i was going to talk to molly next about the aclu tweet. they changed it. i want to put it on the screen. the decision whether or not to bear a child ruth bader ginsburg quote. the decision whether or not the bear a child is central to instead of a woman a person's life. instead of their well-being instead of her. when the government controls that decision of people instead of her and responsible for their instead of her choices. that i wanted molly's input on. >> dana: i would love to get molly's input. it is completely unethical. that's not what she said. whenever anyone tries to change a transcript, right, especially at the white house or state department you will remember that happened in the obama administration. people go crazy. you can't do this to somebody if they aren't here to defend themselves and completely unethical. >> trace: molly, thank you for coming on as always. >> dana: let me know if i hit the mark on that. the border crisis is spiraling out of control with the surge of migrants under the del rio bridge and agents being brought in to other sectors to try to help and opens up new dangers. outrage is growing in a plea deal and the judge saying your government has failed you. has the company's lowest rate in history. 2.25% with an apr of 2.48. save thousands every year. plus there's no money out of pocket and no up front fees. newday is holding the line on interest rates so every veteran family can save. call now. 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. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance?

wrist for a horrific crime. mark meredith joins us live with a look at why this case could turn into a political rallying cry in virginia. >> this all centers around a horrific child abuse case in northern virginia. the victim is a teenager but told her parents that she and another young girl was sexually abused for years. an arrest was made in 2019. the suspect pled guilty a few months ago and he was sentenced to 17 years if price on. -- prison. the mom says it was a much shorter sentence. >> i want to fight for my daughter every day. >> even the judge who oversaw the case said he was outraged at the sentence. there was an agreement reached and feared a full trial would only prolong the victim's pain. judge thomasman told the victim on monday in court you are victimized not only by this man but by your own government. i'm offended for you. we reached out to the commonwealth attorney's office 17 year sentence is the high-end of the guidelines and that they believe this is something that is better than what it could have been. respectfully we find it inappropriate for the judge to make political statements from the bench. the man who oversees the fairfax attorney's office he did not directly prosecute the case. there is a group of signatures to have him recalled from office. he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in pac money from a liberal activist george sorrows. the latest child abuse case is a soft on crime mentality that stems from the top down. >> dana: gubernatorial election there in november. pressure is building on president biden as thousands of migrants mass on the southern border being released into the united states on a very large scale. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dew point, bill is off today. hi, trace. >> trace: good morning everyone. trace gallagher. biden administration facing sharp political backlash over the deepening crisis. agents are being sent from other part of the border to help with the out of control situation in del rio leaving those areas wide open. texas congressman tony gonzalez expressing outrage earlier on "america's newsroom." >> right now in del rio, it is as if a hurricane has hit that small town. you know, border patrol and other law enforcement agencies are doing everything they possibly can. the unity that they've posed to come together to get through this crisis is unlike any other. >> trace: bill melugin is live on the border in del rio, texas with more. good morning to you. >> trace, good morning to you. we actually just in the last two minutes got some brand-new numbers from dhs. fox news can confirm as of yesterday here in del rio sector, 1,719 haitians have been deported there this camp back to haiti. you can see the camp behind me. they are making considerable progress in clearing it out. but you look at those numbers. 1700 deported. the question becomes what happened to the other roughly 13,000? we know there are still thousands living in this camp. look at our second camera here, the latest number we have as of 30 minutes ago in this camp there are still about 3,880 migrants living in this camp. 1700 deported. 3800 still living here. that leaves 10,000 we have to figure out what happened to them. border patrol has been bringing in the buses and vans constantly here trying to clear this camp out as quickly as possible. you take a live look from our drone overhead and you can see the considerable progress that border patrol has made down here. this camp is definitely starting to thin out and knocking down makeshift structures and taking down the tents and plants that sort of thing. there are still upwards of almost 4,000 people still living here waiting to be processed. and we want to show you this video everybody has been talking about. with the horses if we can pull this up. the narrative is that border patrol was whipping these migrants even though they don't have whips. they were using their horse reins. the reverend al sharp ton is coming to del rio saying to investigate what happened here. we've been talking to the horse agents and they're frustrated and reassigned. we talked to one last night saying they have them shutting off lights and serving food not dealing with the migrants anymore and they just want to express their frustration. there is a false narrative out there in terms of what they're doing. those horse agents are highly specialized and no longer on the front lines patrolling the border. that leaves certain areas out here unsecure and yesterday dhs secretary mayorkas was pressed by congress with his job performance when it comes to border security. >> is the border more secure now under your leadership? >> congressman, it is no less secure than it was previously. >> and again just to reiterate those numbers to you brand-new from dhs1700 haitians have deported from the camp. we need to find out what happened to the others and where they've gone. >> trace: bill live on the border. a lot more ahead on the growing border crisis and how the white house is handling it. former acting ice director tom homan joining us in just a few minutes with that. >> dana: and president biden's approval numbers sinking to a new low. according to a new gallup pole 43% of voters approve. down 6 points since august and 14 points lower since he took office. the majority gives him negative marks. that gallup poll took place over a long period of time. i think three weeks or so. and a lot has happened. august was a terrible month. september has not been better, karl. >> not been better at all. the numbers among independents are pretty revealing. the president's job approval among independents is 37%. the 43% overall is the third lowest of the last four presidents. only donald trump who had a 37% approval at this point is lower. but it is 37% approval for biden among independents down 24 points from where he began in january. think about that. and in fact what's interesting to me is if you look at it, about 8% of that decline took place between february to june. five months. then 16 points in the last three months which suggests that this number among independents and the overall number will continue to decline until something dramatic happens that causes these numbers to stop and to begin to rebound. we certainly haven't seen any of that in september. >> trace: you are talking about numbers and i wanted to put the iowa numbers on. approval numbers in iowa. they are fairly stunning. 31% approval for president biden. 62% disapproval there and follow that up with the pollster sell zer quoting this is a bad poll for joe biden and it is playing out in everything he touches right now. that's the truth. everything they attempt comes crumbling down and yet there are no fall guys. nobody is being punished for any of this. >> nobody is being held responsible. the poll is a nonpartisan poll run by the des moines register, well respected. it was a battleground state in 2020 that joe biden lost but this portends bad for the democrats in 2022. it has competitive congressional races and governors race and senate race. democrats will be laboring against a heavy weight in the low numbers for president biden. nothing has happened in recent weeks. the afghan withdrawal, the situation with covid, the international scene at the united nations, the battle over the budget and the battle over the spending bill and the battle over the tax bill and the battle over the debt ceiling. none of these things have worked to the president's advantage and he desperately needs to turn things around. it doesn't look like that is going to happen soon. >> dana: i hate up your column today. it was called kevin brady's charge on tax hike hill. saying mr. brady gave his gop colleagues plenty of ammunition to attack the democratic tax increase and set their sights on the vulnerable points to convince swing fighters it will be a long fight. the blow out is for the next spending blow out. what you did through brady's research is to say these are the types of taxes that will go up. the type of people who will have to pay them and the type of spending that they want to do. >> brady -- congressman brady gave his colleagues three documents, seven pages in total. i got my hand on them really well done. themes in one of them in one. specifics in another and laid out the advantages of making these cases in the third. i thought it was a really well done and i hope his fellow colleagues in the house republican conference pay attention to it. sustained national effort to make these points even in safe republican districts it's critical the members go out and make these points so the american people get educated. the national media is not going to give the detail and not going to unveil some of the secrets behind this. for example, the joint committee on taxation says 75% of the cost of the corporate tax increase will be paid by working people in the form of lower wages and benefits. that's backed up by a left wing think-tank the tax policy center that says by the end of the decade as much as 95% of the cost of this will be born by middle and lower income taxpayers in the form of lower wages and lower benefits. so brady made an excellent case how it is bad for america's international competitiveness, bad for small business and ordinary americans. our utility bills and gas bills will be hirer. huge new taxes designed to make us move away from hydrocarbons but we'll import oil and gas from countries who don't have the environmental standards we have. >> dana: karl, thank you. everyone read his column. this could have big implications for the 2022 mid-terms and they are already recruiting and raising money for the mid-terms. democrats are getting nervous about holding onto power. >> trace: i read a couple of articles today people pointed out all the things going offer on now with covid and inflation they still believe afghanistan is really one of the big issues that will play into this again in 2022. >> dana: interesting. send those to me. >> trace: i will. meantime the search for brian laundrie entering a fifth day at the carlton reserve in florida. he disappeared more than a week ago. neighbors tell fox news it appears laundrie and his parents went camping the very same day his girlfriend gabby petito was reported missing. let's get to phil keating live in venice, florida with more. good morning. >> good morning, trace. back at the laundrie parents' house this morning. the ford mustang that brian laundrie parked at the trail head for his hike nine days ago, that car being returned by north port police. day in and day out of searching this backcountry of florida, very harsh and hot conditions. still no sign of brian laundrie, not his backpack, no footprints and nothing of physical evidence indicate that laundrie was ever actually here. every day the searching is continuing. today is day five. these are brand-new helicopter aerials of the search operation. it involves 60 searchers including a dive team and cadaver dogs looking through thousands of acres behind me down here in the carlton reserve. laundrie is a person of interest in the death of his fiance 22-year-old gabby petito. searchers are using atvs and high water vehicles known in florida as swamp buggies as the terrain is rough and much under water and plenty of alligators of snakes. according to locals those are abundant. his parents say their son went for a hike last tuesday. here is the search commander yesterday. >> i tell you these guys, law enforcement partners are motivated and hungry to find brian laundrie and ambitious to partner with us. >> theoretically could somebody be camping and surviving for a week in these very rough conditions? well, local venice outdoorsman said one could with proper preparation and good skills. >> there is no real potable water. you would need to purify your water. there is water everywhere but not a drop to drink. food wouldn't be too difficult. you could eat plenty of fish. >> petito and laundrie had been on a cross-country road trip visiting the country's gorgeous national parks. her body was found sunday in wyoming and is ruled a homicide. monday the f.b.i. and north port police executed a search warrant at the laundrie family house taking out boxes of potential evidence. computers, hard drives and cell phones. remember september 1st brian laundrie returned to that house without gabby petito whom he had left with for their multi-week if not multi-month cross-country road trip. what he told his parents remains to be learned, that's for sure. several people, fellow trekers who saw them over their journey have now come forward saying they saw very heated arguments between the couple in public and that their relationship sure seemed strained. >> trace: i'm curious quickly. monday they called off the search at the carlton reserve when the f.b.i. went into the house and suddenly back on tuesday they are out there again. has anybody gotten an answer of why they cut it off midday monday and were back out there again on tuesday and haven't found any kind of evidence that he was there? >> this is pretty much the main lead they know according to his parents of his last known whereabouts. they searched here in the reserve saturday and sunday. they said on monday we aren't going to find anything in there but monday afternoon is when they went to the parents' house and served a search warrant and talked to the parents and something that was said there clearly indicated we should come back and exhaust our search here. >> trace: motivating factor we don't know about. phil keating. good stuff, thank you. >> dana: hillary clinton back in the spotlight after her former campaign lawyer is indicted for lying to the f.b.i. now we're learning the case may involved classified information. >> trace: sources

to the f.b.i. the evidence could include classified information. david spunt has the story from washington good morning. >> yesterday during a normal status conference to move forward with scheduling in the michael sussman case the attorneys for the government mentioned potential classified information meaning sussman's team would need to get special clearance before reviewing that potentially sensitive information. michael sussman was indicted a week ago today as part of special counsel john durham's look into the trump/russia investigation. they claim that sussman went to the f.b.i. said i have some information linking donald trump and russia. durham says that mr. sussman was not clear in what capacity he was delivering that information. was it as a clinton lawyer or just a good citizen? according to john durham sussman claimed he was doing it as a good citizen when he delivered the information to the f.b.i. information that did not pan out. the meeting took place in september 2016 meaning we're talking five years ago. the statute for limitations for providing a false statement to the f.b.i. sussman's charge is five years. that is why durham charged him now before the five year mark which hit a few days ago september 19th. 2 1/2 years ago durham began his case and he has charged two people in the probe, sussman and kevin clinesmith, former f.b.i. attorney who pleaded guilty to falsifying a document used to apply for the application to surveil trump campaign aide carter page. while clinesmith pleaded guilty no case that sussman will do the same and plans to fight it. looking at the evidence and fight out what may be classified. a trial is many months away. the court is backed up because of covid. >> trace: david spunt live in d.c. thank you. >> dana: new numbers on how many migrants are left at the del rio camp. more than 3800 remain there even after dhs says more than 1500 have been expelled back to haiti. the crisis is spiraling out of control. white house struggling to give answers on the situation. >> has president biden ever been to the southern border? >> in his life? >> yes. >> i will have to look back in my history book. >> why doesn't he go to del rio texas to see what's going on? >> the situation at the border is the result of a broken system. >> dana: joining us now is tom homan former acting ice director. a lot of topics to get to and i want to play this to you. congressman carlos jimenez talking with secretary mayorkas yesterday on the numbers. >> how many people have been returned, how many people are being detained, and how many people have been dispersed? >> i would be pleased to provide you with specific data subsequent to this hearing. >> yesterday you were asked exactly the same question and gave exactly the same answer. >> i work 18 hours a day. when i returned from yesterday's hearing i actually focused on mission. >> dana: do you think they know the numbers, tom? >> they absolutely know the numbers. he have is not going to tell the numbers. i was the ice director. he spent millions on these databases. make a phone call and how many people have we removed since january and i had the answer in 15 minutes because the database is had it. he says 18 hours i'm working. he is not pulling the data. chief of staff could get the numbers in. i have been through this before. they'll tell ice slow roll the release of the haitians now. we're under a microscope. slow roll the release. that's what they'll do. ice has the numbers and border patrol knows. pulling the numbers out of database and the few clicks on a keyboard. >> dana: the envoy to haiti has resigned saying he gave recommendations that the administration wouldn't accept and now you have the white house press secretary trying to explain that they are trying to deal with root causes but none of this seems to be dealing with the immediate crisis at hand. >> now they attack a border patrol agent on horse back. that horse did what the horse was trained to do. the officer did exact will i what he was trained to do the same way horse patrol in new york city does crowd control. this agent has been put on the beach looking at losing his job because democrats are saying he is whipping a black man. he didn't whip anybond. body. he gave numerous verbal orders. these people are breaking the lau. it is a crime to enter this country. the law enforcement officers trying to keep people from entering this country. he did his job. if you hear the agent he said go back, go back. they have refused the commands of a law enforcement officer. another picture it said the agent had his hands on. shame on his agent for doing the job. his job is to arrest people. this agent did nothing wrong. i'm sick and tired of these politicians whether the secretary, vice president, jen psaki or members of congress that want to say it is a racial thing. not one of them people have talked about the 8,000 lives border patrol agents saved or talked about the ice officers injured on removal flight in haiti attacked. or the bus driver that was attacked. >> dana: there will be some news today. hal sharpton is making his way to the border and doing an investigation of horse agents. >> if they do investigation the horse agent did exact will i what he was trained to do. what concerns me the secretary comes out, then gets on the networks and says how insulted he is by this video and how the video was very concerning. the inspector general who will investigate this officer works for the secretary of homeland security. i think the water has muddied. special agent will go against what the secretary said? it is unfair to this agent. why morale is so low. i'm upset. i wore that uniform and done the job. these are patriots. they shouldn't be vilified by congress and trying to change the narrative. they were put in that position with these haitians because the biden administration border policies. it's insulting to the men and women who wear the uniform and my heart goes out to them. they're overworked. overburdened. taking diseases home to their families and saved so many thousands of people and no one wants to talk about that. >> dana: your passion comes through and i understand it. thanks so much, tom. we'll stay in touch. >> thanks. >> trace: lawmakers pushing for accountability on america's botched withdrawal from afghanistan. >> we still have americans in afghanistan. we still have special partners that is siv applicants, trapped in afghanistan and held at the will of the taliban. we need answers. >> meantime we're learning some of the u.s. military bases hosting afghan refugees are running low on food and other supplies. crews trudging through snake-infested waters searching for gabby petito's missing

>> trace: a massive search effort is underway for gabby petito's missing boyfriend brian laundrie. operation is centered on a vast florida nature reserve mostly under water and filled with snakes and alligators. let's bring in criminal defense attorney phillip holloway former assistant d.a. and police officer and phillip. they called off the search at the carlton reserve on monday and started it again on tuesday. you appear to be skeptical that brian laundrie is -- that they will find him alive. >> well, you know, most people, trace, good morning. most people are incapable of functioning in the world for very long without leaving some evidence of their very existence. the very fact that they are searching in a swamp in florida as you mentioned filled with alligators and snakes and other creatures is not a place that's hospitable to human life. the fact they had cadaver dogs in their yesterday and divers and sonar. they aren't looking in places where people will be camping. if you look at what they're doing and how they are searching, trace, it tells me that they are not looking to recover brian laundrie alive. we already know, of course, that gabby is unfortunately decease eds. -- deceased. if there will be prosecutions in the case it will depend on the answers that law enforcement gets from interviewing third parties to see if there is anybody else who may have helped perpetrate any crimes or conceal any crimes or otherwise impede the investigation. >> dana: evidence seems to be building that he was very possibly abusive to her from the 911 call when the people saw him at the restaurant. if you go back to that moment when they were separated on the side of the road there in utah, what might have -- what do you think should have happened at that point that would have prevented this result? >> sure, dana. i have gone back and looked at all this. the entirety of the situation. i respect their judgment. police do have discretion to make an arrest. i think they made an arrest. an eyewitness saw brian using physical violence against gabby and other information that she was also involved in some type of mutual combat. at a bare minimum the investigation on the side of the road developed, i believe, probable cause that would have been sufficient to charge one or both of them with some type of domestic violence. under the totality of the circumstances i this i the law enforcement officers would have been on sound legal grounds to have made that arrest. of course, i'm not blaming the utah police or anything like that but of course if there had been an arrest made and under the law out there in not only utah there is a heavy presumption in favor of making an arrest in a domestic violence case when it is a close call. the reason for that is so that parties are definitely separated from each other when tensions are high and we know if nothing else these two had at least at times a tension filled and tumultous relationship. >> trace: you say if there was an arrest made we might not be talking about this today. you believe it might have saved gabby's life? >> it could have changed the trajectory of things. if you look back at what happened they suggested that gabby sleep in the van and brian laundrie go into a hotel and then there was no other mechanisms in place to guarantee the two were physically separated when tensions were high and the reason why law enforcement in most instances when they investigate domestic violence case, if they have probable cause chances are they'll take someone to jail because it guarantees an immediate separation of the parties. >> trace: fair enough. >> dana: thank you, we appreciate it. >> have a good day. >> dana: new documents shedding light on what scientists were up to at the wuhan lab two years before the pandemic begin. does the new information change the investigation into the origin of covid? we're awaiting a word from the cdc meeting where they could widen eligibility for a third

shot for certain groups. steve harrigan is live in lants with more. a rolling announcement in all of this, steve. >> it is fairly complicated, dana. fda approved wednesday night booster shots with the pfizer vaccine. this will be booster shots a third vaccine for people age 65 and over, some healthcare professionals and certain other high-risk professions as well. as far as the other vaccines, their booster shots likely to get approved within the coming weeks. >> what the u.s. regulators want to do is make the boosters initially available for an older population who can derive more benefits from the shot and at higher risk from covid. >> a real debate over whether or not booster shots are actually needed. the "new england journal of medicine" published a study that showed regular vaccines are 80% effective after more than seven months. the cdc board is meeting today and give specifics as to who should get the booster shot and when but these will just be recommendations from the cdc. dana, back to you. >> dana: steve harrigan, thank you. >> trace: explosive new documents emerging about experiments at the wuhan institute of virology. chinese scientists planned to released an enhanced coronavirus into bat caves back in 2018 nearly two years before the first cases of covid emerged with the goal of engineering a more infectious disease. doctor siegel joined us last hour and said this. watch. >> let's take engineered bat coronaviruss and rereintroduce them to bats and engineered coronavirus and introduce them into mice. this stuff is very dangerous. >> trace: former acting assistant secretary of state in the trump administration who oversaw the team investigating covid origins and join me now. one researcher called the documents a roadmap that could have led to the current pandemic. do you agree with that assessment? >> thanks for having me, trace. i reviewed the documents and what is clear to me is that the virus hunting trade, the relationship between u.s. labs, u.s. universities, u.s. government, and the chinese government was in full motion in 2018. this was a proposal to department of defense. looked like they denied the proposal. thank god common sense was applied here. more and more we continue to see that this was in full motion, partnership with china just a couple of years ago. >> trace: what do you do with the information now, thomas? do you think it can be used to compel china to further cooperate with us on this investigation? >> look, i this i the chinese have cast their lot. i don't think we can expect them to cooperate. it is clear they won't. what i really think we need is for u.s. government agencies to begin to cooperate and ask hard questions of our agencies. our own grantees, nih, and what the goal of this research. look, we didn't partner with the soviets in the 70s and 80s. we shouldn't be partnering with the chinese in 2020. it is madness. >> trace: we talk about the fact it is 2021. this goes back to 2018 and you look at how we talked about the lab leak theory and the early stages of the pandemic and a lot of media and big tech tried to censor that. is there a sense that we lost a lot of valuable time while some were trying to suppress this information when we should have had this robust debate whether or not it was actually happening? >> yeah, look, i think that's right. we did lose time but again to expect china to open up their doors is foolish. we did lose time. the only real conspiracy we've seen is to silence scientific debate from the nature of medicine articles that is the true conspiracy. and we have lost time. look, there is still time for robust investigation that must be led by democrats in the congress. some brave republican efforts, congressman scalise and rogers and others, mr. gallagher. but the democrats control the congress. it shouldn't be a partisan issue. again the chairman of the health called for an investigation. there is still time and we need to have bipartisan consensus to come together and try to find out what happened so we can avoid it happening again. >> trace: lastly i just have to ask this. a researcher said they read the documents and saying the scientists were trying to make -- it could have been quoting apocalyptic. it is dangerous stuff they were dealing with back in 2018. >> exactly right. we had a very robust debate in 2012 around the avian flu. we should go back to the national academies and have a robust debate on why we are doing this research. what's not debatable is doing it with our adversaries and china. that is madness, trace. it needs to stop and implore the congress and the administration to do so. >> trace: thomas, great to have you on. thank you. >> dana: fascinating. next the push to remove critical race theory from classrooms. why parents in one state are complaining because the law doesn't go far enough.
