will ignore our laws and not keep our citizens safe. >> dana: one source we found talking about the cost of all of this. 22 billion to the taxpayers of california. i don't know if in california. if you throw out the number $22 billion does it make people stop and say oh, oh well, just another $22 billion? i don't know what numbers are there. give you the last 30 seconds. >> unfortunately like i said earlier, our deficit this year, the state budget is at $60 billion. we put another $22 billion on top of that. and to just give money away to people who are not here legally, who just crossed the border. who may not even have asylum yet and maybe they were gotaways or some that just came and arrived on boat and landed on our beaches and walked in. we will give them a $150,000 loan interest free? it doesn't make sense.

>> dana: it doesn't. jim desmond, county supervisor in san diego. thank you. elite israeli forces rescued a hostage in southern gaza as we bring you that good news this morning. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom" i'm dana perino. bill is off today. good morning to you, bret. >> bret: i'm bret baier in washington. today's rescue is the first time in months that a hostage has been rescued alive. he was inside a gaza tunnel. more than 100 hostages are believe to remain captive. some of them likely dead. the daring rescue really is something today. >> dana: it coincides with a new warning that iran's aggression has reached an all-time high. both sides appear to be stepping back from the brink of war for now. >> reality is, bret, neither one of them really wants to fight a war against israel. they are aware israel is strong and the u.s. is backing israel. it looked to us watching here

like israel scored a significant victory over when hezbollah recently. it tells you a lot about the motivations of hezbollah and iran. >> dana: retired marine corps bomb technician joey jones with reaction. >> bret: first trey yengst live in tel aviv with more on today's hostage rescue. good morning, trey. >> good morning. huge news today out of gaza where israeli special forces rescued a hostage during a daring operation. elite navy commandos entered a tunnel in the southern part of the gaza strip and found a 52-year-old bedouin man taken from southern israel on october 7th. the man's family was seen running through a hospital to greet him. he has 11 children. the rescue comes as lower level negotiating teams are gathered in cairo, egypt, to work toward a cease-fire agreement between israel and hamas. the conversations are moving

forward with minor details being discussed such as the names of palestinian prisoners that would be exchanged for israeli hostages. but hamas has rejected the current round of discussions saying the terms changed from what the group agreed upon last month. with the war grinding on new evacuation orders were given to palestinians in central gaza yesterday and early this morning. these orders included the evacuation of a hospital that houses wounded and vulnerable gazans, the war in gaza continues amid the back drop of ongoing tension to continues to rise in northern israel. israelis released new video of the preemptive strikes over the weekend. fresh israeli air strikes and alerts in northern israel. there are parallel diplomatic efforts ongoing to avert a larger crisis. >> bret: thank you. >> dana: joey jones is a retired marine corp bomb technician.

this is the first hostage rescued alive in the tunnels and so an incredibly complex layers and layers of complexity in order to get this done. he is a bedouin man, father of 11 children and he has been held for all this time. thankfully found alive. want to get your thoughts on that incredible rescue. >> i think first of all you don't get that opportunity to do that without an incredible amount of intelligence and information and you don't get the intelligence and information if you aren't in southern gaza talking to people and getting information, getting eyes on. what this does for israel is that further substantiates their operations in gaza. now there is a conversation to be had if they pulled out and all the hostages were brought back would that be a better path? we don't have any assurance on that. israel believes that continuing their operation is the only way to get hostages back. it is amazing to go into the enemy territory. when we hear stories about

vietnam and tunnel rats, men that would jump with a flame thrower and clean them out. nothing easy about urban warfare and then tunnels underground it is amazeings. had to be a scary moment for even the operators that rescued him. >> bret: iran is using proxies throughout this time, specifically the houthis with different strikes even on u.s. vessels in those waters. businesses insiders and top officials say u.s. leaders -- navy commander who oversaw the red sea they -- there are critics who say this is kid gloves and that there is not a pushback, not only in adhering to sanctions, but also specifically action against

these strikes. >> i think the calculation is if israel ends up in a three-front war the united states is absolutely adhered to it. i think there is a calculation that the biden administration will support israel more than perhaps the harris or even trump administration would militarily. so perhaps there is a sense of not getting into something and handing it off to the next administration that comes in. i'm not sure. what it comes down to is we have the hezbollah, hamas, houthis very different people with different goals and although they are all tied to iran they have their own operational manifest. so there is an opportunity here perhaps for the administration to go after iran and calm all three groups. the idea iran can put their thumb on all three is not the case either. you can go back as far as old as this country is. marine corp first charge was to protect maritime ships in that region. we have a charge when it comes

to our maritime ships to do that but to prevent ships from everywhere else i think that the entire region is on stand by. i don't know that the united states should be the ones stopping this but if we don't, who will? >> dana: joey, the other thing that happened that is incredible. a greek tanker hit by the houthis on fire in the red sea, an ecological disaster. the oil tanker and tons of crude oil poses a profound environmental threat to the region. the valdez caused one of the worst environ mentheal disaster had less crude. where are the environmentalists and the people gluing their hands to the van gogh paintings over the houthi terrorists causing this kind of ecological disaster in the red sea? >> listen, in the climate change

church the idea is to oppress the lives of the oppressor. the oppressors are the west primarily. urps and americans. it's not the same rules for everyone. not about what makes the environment safe. the united states produces the cleanest natural gas in the world. terminals won't get turned online because the biden administration won't allow it. this idea they'll have some sort of reasonable approach. they aren't reasonable in their ideas to begin with. to think they will be reasonable in condemning this or asking the administration to do more to stop this from happening, that really edges up against their inclination to support those who see the west as terrorists ourselves. that's the line that kamala harris and joe biden have been trying to tow this entire administration. what we see now with harris inching toward a version ever moderate, she leaves joe biden looking like a bigger liberal. it's interesting to see some of

these decisions made even militarily on what we do to deter something like this, where the support for it comes from. one thing we know on the right and left there is a lack of appetite for any type of war. that's why i say that trump administration may not bring in the navy and take out the houthis. they may be more strategic. i think president trump believes he can negotiate better and apply more pressure economically. with the ships being threatened it is only going to help russia out. i guess we call it geopolitical or economic factors that may be on the table that the biden administration hasn't been willing to play. we will make it harder on ourselves but allow for something that could be terrible for the environment or good for oil and gas to happen overseas when we have an interest in it. >> dana: thank you for being on. >> bret: thanks, joey. russia meantime pounds ukraine for a second day with a series

of extensive air attacks at ukraine aimed at targets across half of that country. at least seven people killed including two in central ukraine. kiev saying russia fired 200 missiles and drones that wounded more than a dozen people, damaged several energy plants. president zelenskyy calling the strikes vile. all of this coming as ukraine is reportedly preparing a list of long-range targets inside russia saying the military can strike if u.s. weapons restrictions are lifted. >> dana: president biden on vacation at his beach house in delaware. his second back-to-back getaway this summer despite promising to finish out his term strong. watch here. >> he's very engaged. you know as well as i do the president of the united states, wherever they are, have access to all the communications and all the advisors that they need. >> dana: rich edson is live in rehoboth beach. the president is always on duty.

what more have you learned? >> that's right, dana. another day at the beach. another day of no public events on president biden's schedule. there is intensifying fighting in europe and middle east and republicans claim president biden is disengaged. >> he goes on vacation, comes back, he goes on another vacation. they are talking nuclear war, okay? we have a guy talking nuclear war. we have somebody that has no clue. it is terrible. she is worse than he is. >> former president trump speaking there. russia escalated its attacks on ukraine. fighting between hezbollah is accelerated and negotiations to reach a cease-fire and hostage exchange between israel and hamas. the white house maintains biden is engaged on all of this speaking directly this week and last to world leaders. they quote there is no such thing as a presidential vacation. the president is always working wherever he goes. after inheriting an economy in

free fall and alliances in tatters from his predecessor president biden created the strongest economy in the world and put us in a position to out compete china. biden as allies say the president will remain engaged. >> president biden is focused on moving forward. lots to do as you just mentioned in the remaining months that he will be president and he and the first lady have a robust agenda for their service to our nation after january. >> after his late monday address last week the democratic national convention, convention originally planned for his acceptance speech he spent the remainder of the week in california. he landed in rehoboth beach sunday night for time at his beach house. dana, back to you. >> dana: a nice place to be this time of year. thank you. >> we'll save the auto industry

because we aren't going to have an auto industry. all electric cars will be made in china and we won't have an auto industry. >> dana: trump campaign hoping its message on electric cars resonate in the rust belt and past statements by vice president harris herself. >> mainstream media accused of running interference for the vice president. the article sparking outrage. >> dana: mark zuckerberg apologize as for caving to pressure from the white house to censor americans. >> we need to continue to keep our government and these facebook and social media companies accountable to not be censoring disfavored views. meows need cash but worried you can't get a home loan because of your credit? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions. in fact, if you've had credit challenges and missed a payment along the way,

>> bret: warning steep hill ahead. car owners facing an astro nominal increase in costs. new data showing insurance rates nationwide up 15% just in the first half of this year. almost eclipsing last year's total in just six months. it doesn't stop there. if your car breaks down you are also out a pretty penny. auto repairs are up and technology used for safety features like blind spot monitoring is up 40% over the last decade. >> dana: big issue right there. another one. red lobster looking to avoid going further underwater. investors for the national restaurant chain are bringing in a new ceo. can he or she undo the damage? kelly o'grady is outside of red lobster in time square? can we save the cheddar

biscuits? >> they are betting on the new ceo. he was actually the ceo of p.f. change. with this choice red lobster is looking for a private equity ceo looking for new revenue streams. cutting costs. he shared this statement. i'm looking forward to working with our team members across north america to reinvigorate the brand and the best place to work for employees and improving the experience for our guests. not an easy task. they filed for bankrupt see in may. a lot of challenges. in the bankruptcy filing they cited an ill-fated discount. the all you can eat shrimp experience for under $20. way more customers in the door than expected. hurt profits and also customer wait time. analysts say this really stemmed from bad management. the union group transitioned

from being the restaurant's top supplier to their largest shareholder and made a few questionable choices and may have forced red lobster to source shrimp exclusively from them driving the costs up higher. beyond that new ceo red lobster is announcing they are shutting down 23 locations in addition to the 100 they shut down this year alone. so dana, the new ceo will look to improving the custos experience. retain employees. all you can eat shrimp for 20 may not be on the map. >> dana: the red dot in colorado is the one my family and i used to go to. maybe it will make a comeback. thank you for being here for us. >> bret: the fight for the battlegrounds on full blast as summer is winding down. republican presidential nominee

j.d. vance returns to michigan today where he is expected to hit the harris-walz campaign on electric vehicle, energy policies. top issue for voters in the car capital of the world. let's bring in michael whatley, republican rnc chairman. thank you for being here. i want to play this sound bite from senator warren talking about harris-walz tax plans. take a listen. >> what's the first thing kamala wants to do? she wants a fairer tax system and her idea of a fairer tax system is we cut taxes for working people, we cut taxes for families with brand-new babies, and we make the billionaires pay their fair share to run this country. some of it is not very sexy. some of it is deeply detailed. it is always about who are you trying to help. >> bret: mr. chairman, your thoughts about that description. >> well look, donald trump's tax

cuts that he got through during his administration were the largest tax cuts in history and they have had the largest impact on lower income families of any tax cuts ever. in fact, the lower income brackets actually got more benefit out of that than the higher income brackets, which is unfortunate that it is going to pass and that kamala harris has said she is going to let those expire rather than renew them. the tax package that donald trump is proposing right now is going to be the most fair for every americans. in addition to extending those tax cuts, he wants no tax on tips and he wants no tax on social security benefits. kamala harris can wheel and deal as much as she wants in terms of trying to -- saying she wants to be fair. we have already seen this tax cuts, what she is proposing is the largest tax increase in the history of the country. >> dana: a columnist at the "washington post" says harris as

a plan to tax the rich. it is not enough. the answer is always the same. make the rich and corporations pay their fair share. the bad news is harris, like biden pledged not to raise taxes on people making less than $4 hundred thousand a year. simply not enough to fund our existing commitments and expansive democratic agenda. they can keep making those promises but they can't keep them. that's from the right. one of the things that the left will say is donald trump's tax cuts only went to the wealthy. i bet that kamala harris will flip-flop and want to extend the trump tax cuts because she doesn't want to tank the economy if she were to win. your thoughts on that. >> well, she certainly has flip-flopped on everything else when we talk about every single substantive issue she seems to be addressing at this point in time. there is a lot of flip-flopping that's involved. the thing that i have to be curious about it is all coming from anonymous sources within the campaign. she has not gone out there and

put any of these proposals on the table for herself. but if you take it at face value basically what she is saying is every single major issue over the course of her tenure in the senate and her tenure in the white house, she is now admitting she was wrong on those and she is going to try to walk them back. i personally have a hard time believing that's where she is going to end up because she has been so steadfast in wanting an open border and inflationary policies and wanting to weaken the american military over the course of her political career that for her to go back the other say is going to be remarkable. >> bret: we're told she will sit for an interview sometime this week. we'll see if that happens. with it could be vetted in a debate scheduled for abc on september 10th. back and forth about hot mics and not. can you say today that the september 10th debate is in fact going to happen?

>> that's the plan. president trump is very ready to debate. he has accepted the rules that were put on the table. kamala harris is now coming in trying to change those debate rules. it is remarkable that she is saying she has to have notes. she needs a crib sheet and wants to sit down to have this conversation. president trump made it very clear he wants to have debates. he wants to have these conversations. and i think the american people really should relish the opportunity to see kamala harris standing up and try to tell people where she stands on these key issues without notes. >> dana: thank you. >> thank you, guys. >> dana: we have some new developments in former president trump's classified documents legal case. special counsel jack smith is fighting the decision made to dismiss it. andy mccarthy has analysis. plus this. school is back in session and so

are hate-filled protests. how universities are responding to the unrest. [shouting and chanting]

screwed up in her logic and should have never dismissed the case. she dismissed it over concerns that jack smith was not lawfully appointed special counsel by garland who named his such in 2022. canyon agreed that his funding was not lawful and appointment wasn't as well. he said the attorney general validly appointed the counsel. the dmisconstrued and took inadequate account of the longstanding history of attorney general appointments of special counsels. trump's team has a month to respond to the brief. the judge overseeing the d.c. case, attempted election interference was supposed to go to trial last march. she will hear how to proceed next thursday in d.c. donald trump won't be in attendance and also scheduled to be sentenced next month in new

york for the new york state case but both sides in that case the prosecution and defense are agreeing to postpone that. the judge has yet to sign off on that. >> dana: i bet that does happen. david, thank you. >> bret: joining us for more on this former assistant u.s. attorney and fox news contributor andy mccarthy. good morning. you have this piece in national review. biden d.o.j. appeals invalidation of smith appointment and dismissal of indictment. you think it is going nowhere? >> well, it is going nowhere fast as david's report points out, trump has another 30 days to file a brief. we don't know when the 11th circuit will hear the case. long after the election. there is sure to be a completely different reality. it will either be kamala harris justice department or a donald

trump justice department. but things will be very different by the time it gets decided. i think it is a sign, bret, that they just weren't that interested in trying to push forward as hard as they could to get the case done because if you really wanted to get that case up and running you could do it in a few minutes. all it would have to happen is attorney general garland could reassign smith under the direction of the biden-appointed united states states attorney in florida and he could be up and running now. they've decided to appeal instead. >> bret: another topic. mark zuckerberg at meta and this letter to the judiciary committee. in 2021 he writes senior officials from the biden administration pressured our teams for months to censor certain covid-19 content including humor and satire and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree. the believe the government pressure was wrong and regret we

were not more outspoken about it. i also think we made some choices that with the benefit of hindsight and new information we wouldn't make today. he goes on to talk also about the hunter biden case and the disinformation and the squelching of those stories on his platform. what do you make of that in the big picture? >> well, i think two things, bret. first it would have been nice to have zuckerberg's testimony in connection with the case that the supreme court considered at the end of the term where they basically found that the people who brought the case against the government officials who induced the tech didn't have standing to sue them. this might have helped that. the most important part of this is just to put it in context. let's remember the election -- suppression of those stories was in the run-up to the election in october and into november of

2020. the f.b.i. got hunter biden's laptop in december of 2019. they knew for almost a year at the time that they put the pressure on these tech companies to suppress the story that the laptop was authentic. so to me i think the big story is not just the fact that you have government putting its thumb on the scale and intimidating tech companies into taking actions that government couldn't itself do directly, but the deceit here under circ*mstances where they knew the true facts a year before they put this measure on the tech companies is astonishing. >> bret: there is this want to continue censorship. the question is whether this letter is the beginning of opening eyes about how much that is happening. >> i don't have a lot of faith in that. i think that since around 2015,

2016, the f.b.i. has turned russian disinformation into kind of a career path and they have a lot of people working on it. it is a thing notwithstanding the fact that if you go back in history, certainly since the cold war, political interference by the russian government in american politics and the american intelligence agencies in soviet and russian politics has been a staple of modern history. i don't think it is either side or any one sensible looking at it would say that any of it has been even close to being decisive in an election. the f.b.i. turned it into a career path. >> bret: as always, thank you. >> dana: well now to america's education crisis. one of the biggest problems is chronic absenteeism. how some schools are holding students and parents accountable. plus this.

>> dana: now to one of the most pressing problems in education. problem for all of us. chronic absenteeism spiked during the pandemic and not come down since. my next two guests are confronting the issue in indiana. andrew hannah and mitch carroll. i listened to an interview you

did. tell us your approach when you go to a home and try to find out what's going on and try to get the kid back in school? >> we go on a case-by-case basis, of course. and i like to tell people that our goal is not to be punitive but really what we're trying to do is the end goal for us is we want kids to go to school. it's been bally hoed for many years the reasons why kids don't go to school and we want to make sure what impediments are there and how we can clear those hurdles to get kids to go to school. >> dana: if you look at test scores and declines tied to absenteeism. grade four down 8%. reading this breaks my heart. grade four, 45% down. grade eight, 36% down. this is not just a problem in indiana. this is happening everywhere. at what point do you have to apply the law to this?

>> well, we started to see a decline in attendance during covid as many school systems across the country did. we have six school systems and private and charter schools. we wanted to attack the issue of making sure kids are getting to school. when you talk about test scores and performance 90% is showing up. making sure that kids are getting there in the first place and that they are receiving the full educational opportunities they have here in madison county. >> dana: mitch, i think one of the things you find is you will go to a home and find out maybe the grandmother is raising the child and the child says he has anxiety, something might be happening in the school or in his life. what can you do or do you have an example of how you have been able to convince somebody doing homework out of a book they got online for 15 minutes a day is not enough? >> that's the big thing i think we're worried about. the socialization aspect of it.

unfortunately the measurables are not behaviorals, we know it's negative and take those on a case-by-case basis. we do have a lot of families in madison county throughout the united states another battle we're fighting. grand parents today not to say they aren't in there pitching but more difficult proposition than it is just to be a parent. i'm a grand parent myself and sometimes you lose touch with what's going on currently. i'm entering 39 years of law enforcement. nothing new under the sun. hopefully i am a good resource person in the sense i trow i to tell people when i am on her front step or front room i don't have all the answers but i'll find somebody that does. >> dana: andrew, one of the reasons that you would like these kids to be back in school so that you don't end up seeing them in a courtroom later on. >> you are absolutely right. as a prosecutor's office we have

very few tools to pro-actively prevent crime. usually we're having to react to cases that law enforcement bring us. but one of the things we can do, education is the silver bullet. to escape a cycle of poverty and crime, if you get an education your chances of being incarcerated as an adult are much lower. your chances of having substance abuse issues as an adult are much lower. i'm fully committed to using all our resources making sure we prevent crime in the future and not just dealing with the cases brought to our office. >> dana: what surprised me learning more about you, this is a full-time job and you do it all day long every day. there is not enough kids in school. i wonder if you could leave us with good news. do you have an example of a story that turned out well in this case? >> absolutely. i always tell people, you know, handshakes, hugs, we just want kids in school and i've done all three.

taken kids to school where i said it's like tomorrow i'll go to school. it's 10:00 in the morning. today is a good day to start. we'll get them there and get them started. we have had that's where we're looking for is that one case but we have had many in the past 2 1/2 years where we've got kids afending school regularly that had fallen into absenteeism. we're finding some positive, dana. >> dana: we love to hear that. thank you. it is an important issue, andrew and mitch. we appreciate you and will stay in touch. >> thanks for shining a light on the problem. >> dana: thank you.

bret, they said he is in good spirits. he looked very thin. he has been underground apparently for all these months nearly a year. >> bret: amazing. a complex operation to go into the tunnels. israeli forces have rescued eight hostages alive since october 7th. they've recovered several more bodies. still believed to be more than 100 hostages remaining and maybe 30 plus of them are likely dead. but this is an amazing story. success story that it is great to see. >> dana: amazing, too, we're in the middle of the hostage negotiation discussions, right, that hamas won't participate in. iran is playing a role. if you are a citizen of israel. the pressure is on netanyahu indeed for that as well. >> bret: okay. now this.

it is peak mons mosquito seasona spike in west nile. >> a rough for go dr. fauci, the former advisor to president biden. it put him in the hospital for six days. he is set to make a full recovery. west nile virus can at times be fatal. you have to get it only from a mosquito that has fed on an infected bird and the mosquito has to bite a human. not transmitted directly from human-to-human. >> we're dead end hosts. if you got this west nile you won't get bit by a mosquito and give it to someone else. they get it from birds and pass it back and forth through birds, not humans. again, you can't transmit this

human-to-human. >> cdc has recorded more than 200 cases. often symptoms are fever and chills. many times almost 80% there are no symptoms at all and people don't know they have it. it is spread to more than 30 states. bad in massachusetts where they had to put a curfew in place in some parts and new york city to spray overnight trying to reduce the number of mosquitoes. back to you. >> bret: thank you. >> dana: that's a terrible story. i hate mosquitoes so much. i don't want to see any of them here. before we go you have to help me with this one. professional baseball player danny janson made history becoming the first person to play for two teams during the same game? apparently this is what happened. janson was on the toronto blue jays in june when they played the boston red sox. the weather pulled the plug on that came in the second inning. rescheduled for yesterday. in the meantime, the blue jays

traded him to the red sox so he finished the game playing for boston. that is something. >> bret: that's the same game. he is on both sides. that's pretty cool. >> dana: who won? >> bret: that's a big question. >> dana: something i should check if i do a sports story. don't know who won. toronto won. congratulations to the blue jays. i have been not firing on all cylinders today on sports. it has been a joy being with you. what do you have on special report tonight? >> bret: no clue. i meet with my staff right after this. it should be good and i'll be with you tomorrow. >> dana: there is a new fox nation special called "the five" behind if scenes. you don't want to miss that one. i'm sure it is hilarious. i'll see you on "the five."
