11:02 am
>> bill: does kamala harris come a point person on the border come have anything to say about this? she is bowing to get tough on immigration, but here she was six years ago, 2018, on the issue. >> there is no question that we've got to critically re-examine i.c.e. and its role and the way it is being administered and the work it is doing and we need to think about starting from scratch. because there is a lot that is wrong the way it is conducting itself and we need to deal with that. >> shannon: former president trump addressed this just moments ago after he voted in the florida primary. >> if you look at the migrant crime in new york, it's been out of control, and it is everywhere, as i predict it a long time ago. it is causing tremendous problems. causing death, and just, it's been harsh. nobody has seen anything like it and it is going to get worse. they should not have allowed this to happen to our country. >> shannon: fox team coverage starts right now. paul morrow at alexis mcadams
11:03 am
on migrant crime hitting the big apple. >> bill: first we begin with bill melugin with that bear new out of boston. bill, what are you learning about this individual who was brought into the country come i believe based on the program that is legal? hello there? >> bill, that's right. back in june, local authorities in massachusetts, a sanctuary state, released this child rapist on just $500 bond and then ignored i.c.e.'s request to transfer him to custody. i.c.e. has been looking for them ever since and yesterday they finally got him, take a look, boston-based i.c.e. deportation officers detained haitian national cory alvarez, about 20 minutes south of boston, now in custody. alvarez was first charged with aggravated child rape earlier this year. this is after prosecutors say he raped a girl in a migrant hotel
11:04 am
in rockland massachusetts back in march. i.c.e. confirms that alvarez first came to the u.s. last year. he flew directly into new york city as part of the biden administration's controversial ch nevada mass parole program that dhs has now put on pause after an internal audit found a significant amount of fraud in it. in alvarez's case, he was supposed to be in newark, new jersey, where he said his parole sponsor was going to be, but instead he somehow ended up at a hotel for migrant families outside of boston, where he got access to a 15-year-old girl he is now accused of raping. the plymouth county d.a.'s office which is prosecuting alvarez for that alleged rape is calling out dhs, saying in part, "as part of the alvarez case for months now our office has or peter the asked questions of state and federal officials about the specifics of the ch nevada process. we have received little to no answers. there is clearly reason that the department of homeland security
11:05 am
has pause the issue and travel authorizations for new chnv beneficiary's well it undertakes a massive review of the process" be of any statement about alvarez's arrest, i.c.e. said, e cannot allow any significant noncitizen threat to the children of our countries to potentially reoffend. i.c.e. boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing agree just noncitizen offenders from new england. we should add alvarez's attorney says he is innocent of the charges against him. i.c.e. boston says they will cooperate with his local case, but they are not going to give alvarez back to the local government unless they agree to a court order that would mandate they return him back to federal custody after every single court appearance. they don't want to risk the locals releasing him yet again, guys. back to you. >> bill: thanks, bill melugin. leading our hour from california. shannon? >> shannon: any moment now, new york city mayor adams will host a town hall as migrant
11:06 am
crime rattles his city. the mayor criticizing sanctuary city laws after an illegal migrant was charged with raping a woman at knife point over the weekend. alexis mcadams is live in new york with more appeared alexis, is the nypd giving you anything new about the sanctuary law and what is going on there? >> hey, shannon. for months, the nypd, their top brass at the department calling on the city to change its sanctuary laws because they say it is presimple. they believe it just protects repeat offenders like this guy. we have been talking about him this week appeared police jealousy raped a woman out on coney island the other day and investigators say this was not r sexual assault. but hey, it was back on the streets of new york, new york, anyway. nypd chief of control went out on the streets earlier this summer with us, i checked it out with them across the bronx, in queens, seen with the migrant crisis has done to the streets of new york. watch. >> 200,000 migrants have come to
11:07 am
the city, give or take. a small portion did not come for the american dream. they came here to prey on new yorkers. we need an option, if you go through the system, to reach out to i.c.e. >> they want to work with i.c.e. because said on x, failing to act on people, to continue victimizing women in our city. as the migrant crisis continues, eric adams says they have to have a relationship with the feds. >> as you know, laws do not allow us to coordinate with i.c.e. that's the law. i'm not happy about that. >> so how much is the big apple spending on the migrant crisis on top of the crime? we are talking at least $5 billion so far, nearly 2 billion to housing and 500 million on food and medical costs for migrants in new york city, and this crisis shows no sign of slowing down so those numbers could continue to rise, shannon. >> shannon: see with the mayor
11:08 am
has to say. alexis, thank you. >> bill: paul morrow, form nypd at spector and fox news contributor, good afternoon. you are talking to a lot of people and all of the burros in new york, the migrant centers, a lot of news, it seems like every day there is a different story to report on this. what is happening? >> that is a sea change relative to the new york city mayor, calling for -- he can't do it. under the de blasio administration and city council they untried that into law, they are stuck with it until the city council gets rid of it. here's what we need to understand. what we have imported as part of these programs and just looking the other way, prison gangs, all right, ms-13 but also the venezuelan gang, the alleged killer of laken riley, a member of that gang you are going to drill down on these stories. they run the migrant centers. there is a randalls island
11:09 am
migrant center. randalls island just off new york city where we have a migrant center that is enormous and growing. just like any prison, the corrections officers and the people administering it, they don't run it, prisoners from the prison. corrections officers are there to keep them in. >> bill: you are saying the gang leaders at the migrant centers are in charge? >> they are, and who they are vix victimizing more than anybody else, women. where all of the women's groups on that? we are seems between ones, victimization of women, and human trafficking. they have also imported that technique, snatch and grabs, what do they grab? generally women's purses because that is what is dangling. we have seen videos of guys on scooters dragging women. that is who is doing all of this. currency of maduro and venezuela. nypd knows that and are getting this intel. flipped a few people, made the papers, people talked about how they are smuggling guns into the
11:10 am
migrant centers using fast food bags, drugs, and of course human trafficking. the migrant centers like a prison, migrants can go in and out. >> bill: let me play a clip, a new trump ad that hits kamala harris on the border. play this clip. >> illegal immigrant convicted, released, violently fractured a woman's skull. who released everyone of them? liberal d.a. kamala harris. >> bill: reference to california. when trump says venezuela emptied their prisons, is he right about that are not? >> it is tough to tell because it is a blind spot. venezuela does not cooperate with us. if anybody expects to get fixed intel, we are not going to get it. what i know is tren de aragua has a major presence now gang established in our cities from venezuela, they can't be into places at once, a prison break a couple years ago, and while
11:11 am
kamala harris was supposed to be the border czar or looking at root causes, which is the spinrite now, she seems to have been completely blind to this and that is what happens when you don't go to the borders and get the answers. >> bill: the debate on the 10th of september, hopefully we have more than one, she is going to say trump blew up the deal that biden agreed to on immigration. okay, so she can make that claim. but they are still in power for five months. so why not do something today? >> go ahead, kamala, we will hold your coat, feel free. you are in power right now. last year she and her husband according to the "washington examiner" gave $1,000 to a sanctuary city group and a defund group in washington, d.c. our "border czar" gave thousand dollars -- last year and previously -- to a group that wants to turn the nation's capital into a permanent sanctuary city. she can talk about blowing up that deal -- by the way, a flawed deal -- permanent
11:12 am
judiciary come under the execut, thrown out on constitutional grounds anyway and we all know who we control, then put immigration judges under the executive, democratic executive, what do you think is going to happen. >> bill: we know she doesn't like i.c.e. and a lot of people on the left do not appear we will it's for that in the coming days. thank you, paul. shannon? >> shannon: we want to check in on the white house briefing, chair of u.s. council of economic advisors jared bernstein is taking questions at the briefing. putting a hopeful spin on the news we got today on inflation, talking about solid jobs market but conceding he understands that americans are still suffering. let's hear what he has to say. >> the white house economics team is to look at where we are and the conditions that define, the current economy. we most recently saw gdp growth rate 2.8%, of course that is very strongly nonrecessionary. if you believe the trend gdp growth is something in the 2% neighborhood, that is the
11:13 am
forecast of what gdp growth will be in the current quarter, in q3, if you look at the shops that try to back that out right around 2%, some are higher and some a little lower. that is about trend gdp growth. we have ongoing wage growth, supporting ongoing consumer spending, look at retail sales tomorrow to see where that is, but all of these numbers are clearly nonrecessionary, so the idea that we are in a recession now i think is very -- i think thoroughly disproved by any set of indicators you want to look at. but of course, you know, that asks us to look forward and around the corner, particularly hard to do right now. from this podium, i'm not going to make probability suggestions about that. there are lots of market shops you can turn to for that. what i will say is that so far in this economy, the fact that the strong job market, which has maintained a job gains, 170,000 jobs, on average, over the past three months, and real wage gains, and an economy 70% consumer spending, has been
11:14 am
doing a great job of keeping the economy moving forward. as long as we are seeing easing inflation, steady wage growth, beating prices, by the way, lower gas prices seem to be important in that regard, down something like $0.30, $0.35 relative to a year ago, also helps on the consumer side. all of those help in terms of forward motion. i would say current conditions nonrecessionary, looking around the corner, we will watch very closely... >> shannon: you have been listening into jared bernstein, the national economic council of advisors, economic advisors, and he is talking about the positive of this data. he talks about things like wage gains, most economists out there will tell you they have not kept pace with inflation at all these other rising prices. while gas may be down over the last few months, it is still well ahead, some 50% or more from where it started with. >> bill: voters, consumers, voters, throw all the numbers at me but asked me how i feel.
11:15 am
the last 43 months, the biden-harris administration, energy is up 11%. shelter is up about 6%, food about 5.5%, more economic numbers tomorrow morning right around 8:30 and we will see how that goes. a big week for economic data, they can spin it how they want because after all, shannon, 80-some odd days away from an election. all right. and there is this now from a voter. >> imagine a moment there who is making minimum wage trend to feed children. they are killing us without killing us. >> bill: americans struggling to make ends meet, harris has a plan to fix it all but after three years, are the voters buying it? democratic colorado congressman jason crow is on deck to take that on next. ran car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans.

11:20 am
>> bill: so new inflation numbers today show that consumer prices for july rose 2.9% year-over-year. many americans say they are struggling to make ends meet. democratic colorado congressman jason crow reacts to that in a moment, but first brian brenberg, f fox business latest inflation data out earlier today. what do you see in the numbers? >> let me give you something, you talk about the feelings versus the numbers. why the feelings don't match up, you have some price increases that are hard to substitute away from. shelter, housing is one of those come up 22% since january of '21. you got to live somewhere, you need to rent or buy a house. energy, got to power the house, just no good substitute come up 28.5%. auto insurance, you hit the road, you've got to ensure your car. this number, 54.7% increase
11:21 am
since january 21. out on the road, sometimes you have to feed the family, food on the road, 22.9% increase in january 2021. my point is it's hard to get away from these. you can change what you buy at the grocery store, but you can't change electricity. you can't change the fact you got to ensure your car. you can't change the fact you have to have someplace to live. people don't have to fix that in their budget and it is hurting them. >> bill: that's a great point, you need these things, right? you are going to iowa this weekend for the state fair. >> lots of changes in the world, bill. inflation data, got a new presidential race, got voters gathered at this great american event. we are going to broadcast our show from their 1:00 p.m. on fox business. get the pulse of the people. >> bill: i love the idea. you are going to learn a lot from those folks. >> i'm going to learn a lot about what people in iowa eat at their state fair, things on a stick, and i'm looking forward
11:22 am
to it. >> bill: thank you, brian. nice to see you. shannon? >> shannon: if this is the biden-harris economy what does a harris-walz economy look like? we are learning harris is adding former white house economic advisors to her economic campaign team. as president biden boast about the success of his policies on her current economy. listen. >> inflation, mr. president? >> yes, yes, yes. i told you we are going to have a soft landing. my policies are working. start writing that way, okay? >> shannon: it seems not all voters agree. listen to this. >> how hard has inflation hit you? >> it's hitting me hard. >> who do you blame for it? >> i blame the federal government at this point. of a working-class mom worked as a paralegal cannot buy a $2 bell pepper because it is now five, imagine a mother living on food stamps. imagine a mother making them when wage trying to feed
11:23 am
children. they are killing us without killing us. >> shannon: let's bring a democratic congress meant jason crow of colorado. good to see you again, sir. >> great to be on with you. >> shannon: you hear from these voters who say they can't keep it together. lino a quarter of renters had to skip meals in order to pay their rent in the last year or so. you know all of the prices, you heard brian brenberg pick through them. for now an average american family is paying 25% more for all household items and all other expenses than they were january 21. the white house told us on monday the vice president and president have no daylight between them on economic policies are how is that not also the harris economy we are living there right now? >> listen, i know a lot of americans who are struggling. there are folks in my district and my community in colorado who are struggling. the price for a lot of things is still too high. and i understand this because i
11:24 am
grew up in a working-class family. i worked minimum-wage jobs in high school. i worked in construction to help pay my way through college. i couldn't afford the price of college. so i understand what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck. we have not beat this issue, but we are making progress. that is why the economic numbers that just came out showed inflation has slowed to 2.9%, which is the lowest it has been since early 2021, first time it has dipped below 3%. let's also understand the state of the economy and the state of this country when joe biden came into office. this was a devastating wreck that donald trump left this administration -- >> shannon: to remind folks come inflation at that point -- >> economic disaster -- >> shannon: 1.4% one president biden took over. most people depleted savings, we know the national debt is the highest ever, new high-end consumer credit card debt, delinquencies are up, i mean,
11:25 am
people have run through what they had the last 3.5 years, so what is your message now -- >> shannon, americans understand and remember what it was like under the trump administration. joblessness, the devastation of the pandemic, right, and the pandemic, what it did, how we got here, we have a labor shortage, we have supply chain disruptions, and we have price gouging. those are the three primary factors that are driving inflation. >> bill: you don't think -- >> we have a labor shortage, shannon, because president trump disrupted a bipartisan deal to address immigration reform, which would have opened the pathways for legal immigration to help address that labor shortage. he was the one that destroyed that -- >> shannon: okay, let's go back a little bit. >> address the price gouging, which president biden has done. >> shannon: prior to covid hitting, which any administration that are d or r, would have had a horrible time with, our economy by most
11:26 am
economists estimate, was in good shape, 1.4% on the inflation number what it was handed over to you all. prior to that, unemployment we have now had a situation where people say this was mismanaged. federal spending, by nonpartisan economic groups out there, they say the flood of that's federal spending the last two or three years is what has led us to the inflation spike and decisions that harris and biden made together and that apparently, according to "new york times" and "wall street journal," she does not intend to break away from his policies in any major way. >> when you say people are saying, what people? nobody is saying that. >> shannon: that she won't break away from his -- >> and economic wreck, because donald trump mismanaged the pandemic, and his spending help to bring us out of that devastation. historic lows on unemployment. far from where we need to be. we are far from where we need to
11:27 am
be, but we are on that path. people remember the neglect and the mismanagement of the pandemic. also forget, before the pandemic, it was donald trump that had a huge tax giveaway to billionaires and the wealthiest of americans. his top tax cut and jobs act, 80% of the benefit of that, which by the way added historic levels to the deficit, and that was debt spending to the tax cut, 80% of it went to stock buybacks to make ceos wealthier and to get more money to the biggest corporations, which by the way have turned around and are now price gouging regular americans. i grew up working paycheck to paycheck. i know when i am being sold a bill of goods. donald trump is selling us a bill of goods, and the american middle class is not going to put up with it. >> shannon: i remember those summer and collar jobs and everything, too. it probably built a lot of character for both of us that we had to appreciate the value of every dollar. but just to go back very quickly, you said trump mismanaged the covid situation,
11:28 am
but this is administration 1.4% inflation, and it is now 2.9%, if you call 1.4% mismanagement, than what is 2.9%? >> it is going back down because the inflation from the mismanagement of the pandemic was supply chain disruption. we have seen it the last couple years, turning around because of the policies of this administration. it's not where we need to be. we understand people are paying too much, but we are making progress. and let's also say this. the inflation reduction act as an reducing the cost of prescription dog norma drugs. one of the biggest costs for americans right now is paying for prescription drugs. the biden-harris in ministry and passed the inflation reduction act that fixed the cost of insulin to $30 a month, which is saving americans hundreds of dollars. it was the inflation reduction act which allowed medicare to actually negotiate with big pharmaceutical to help reduce
11:29 am
the cost of prescriptive drugs for americans, and guess what, donald trump has said specifically that he will roll that back up your he will rollback those savings in health care protections and reductions for americans, and that will cost them more. >> bill: he has denied that. question how well the inflation reduction act has worked, but we look forward to hearing from the vice president come i know you have said you encourage her, she will get out there and do media, we will hear from her friday on her economic planet in the meantime, congressman, we always appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. >> shannon: bill? >> bill: shannon, major headlines out of this war in ukraine. there has been further movement, ukrainian troops pushing deeper into russia and taking russian prisoners along the way. dan hoffman on whether or not this could be a turning point in the war.

tomorrow and president biden says those could deter iran from attacking israel but for now the mideast and u.s. troops in the region remain on high alert. gillian turner is live at the state department where they have been breaking this down. hey gillian. >> hi, shannon. secretary of state antony blinken making an unusual move now by publicly condemning israel's national security minister for a controversial trip he took to the temple mount of israel yesterday. these issues are usually considered the purview of our allies' governments and are left to them to deal with on their own, but not this time. take a listen to the state department briefing. >> we think they are a detraction from peace and stability in the middle east. we also think that they are detraction's from israel's own security. those things include what we saw minister bee do yesterday.
11:35 am
>> if they can ink a cease-fire deal between israel and hamas this week they can stave off an iranian connecticut tack on israel. here's president biden. >> we will see what iran does and we will see what happens if they attack but i am not giving up. >> do you have the understanding that iran stop doing an action of a cease-fire deal is pos possible? >> that's my expectation. we'll see. thank you. >> right now, though, hamas is not biting. they are refusing to show up at tomorrow's all important cease-fire negotiations and iran's regime is busy packing the harris and trump presidential campaigns. former president trump allies say the biden messaging is not deterring the rogue regime because they are not imposing cost for iran's illegal oil sales or their nuclear programs. >> iran is very capable. they have the capacity to do precisely the kinds of things the russians do. they get to shape public opinion as much as anything else.
11:36 am
reports of the hack of the trump campaign, we should expect this to continue. >> officials, though, insist they have delivered a warning and have got enough leverage in play to keep iran at bay. >> it should be very clear to iran that escalation is not in their interest. >> this just into the newsroom a moment ago, shannon, fox news can now confirm that the united states will be participating tomorrow in the cease-fire negotiations that are about to pick up at a location that is not being disclosed publicly yet but there will be representation there. we understand bill burns is going to be on his way shortly, shannon. >> shannon: gillian turner at the state department. bill? >> bill: ukrainian president zelenskyy now saying his troops are pushing deeper into russia. this has been a surprise counteroffensive now entering a second week. where does it go?
11:37 am
dan hoffman, former cia station chief of moscow and fox news contributor, thanks for being in our program today. is this the type of thing that could be a turning point in this war? and if it is, if you believe that, turning toward what? >> i think it's a little too early to say it is a turning point, necessarily, but it is a stunning development. look, ukraine's first objective is to degrade russia's military capability. that is why they are bombing and attacking russian airbases. secondly, they are forcing russia to transfer their troops from inside ukraine, where they have launched their own attacks against ukrainian forces, back to the homeland to defend against this ukrainian assault on russia. now the third thing is that this is an embarrassing public relations nightmare for vladimir putin. he fashions himself as the kgb operative in the kremlin. this was yet another intelligence failure. how the ukraine's were able to
11:38 am
conduct reconnaissance before they attack and then the attack itself without facing any resistance, i mean, that's just not a good look. >> bill: that's a great point. what has putin done to respond here? what's his strategy militarily? >> yeah, well, first of all, he's had to have over 100,000 residents of that region, russian citizens, they have had to leave. so it is a war zone. so that is the first thing. he gave an order to evict the ukrainian military that conducted the incursion into korsk and the region. i expect him to do what he always does which is to not take responsibility and blame is on military commanders, and that is another benefit for ukraine, that they are causing dissent within the russian ranks over a
11:39 am
war in which putin has b spilled blood, russians have fled, hundreds of thousands of casualties. the ledger does not look good for vitamin putin. >> bill: one more question on the a sound bite about iran from donald trump. can ukrainians outrun, could they be left holding know my vulnerable the deeper they coincide russia? >> i am sure they are factoring that in to their attack plans. this was planned long ago. ukrainian military intelligence has conducted a lot of operations behind enemy lines. this is just the most -- the most stunning one to update. i am sure they have a plan for that. they know they can't go too far and they are going to have to dig in at some point and defend themselves but right now this is all to their benefit. >> bill: very interesting. here is donald trump. he was asked about the alleged
11:40 am
iranian hack of his own campaign this last weekend. watch. >> it looks like it is iran doing it because iran is no friend of mine and a lot of bad signals get sent, but it looks like it is iran doing it, and the reason is because i was strong on iran and i was protecting people in the middle east, that maybe they aren't so happy about that. so that's what it seems to be, iran. >> bill: what is your read on this, dan? >> i think the former president is right about that. the director of national intelligence has said that iran is seeking to interfere in our election and to degrade former president trump's ability to garner support in the united states. look, the trump administration did withdraw from the jcpoa. heavy sanctions. most of all the strike on qasem soleimani, for which iran has declared their intention to exact revenge, and i think that is what this is just part of all
11:41 am
of that. >> bill: okay, more to come, quite likely. dan hoffman, great to have you on today. thanks for your analysis. shannon? >> shannon: who can forget this heartbreaking scene from kabul nearly three years ago today? now they taliban celebrating at the american airbase that we gave up. greg palkot has that report still ahead appeared. >> bill: vp kamala harris yet to sit down for a formal interview through the first 24 days of her campaign. it worked for joe biden. will it work for her? national reviews jim garrity is our guest on that next. can bring out a smile. but it's been a few dog years since she was able to enjoy a smile of her own. good thing aspen dental offers affordable, complete care all in one place. with flexible hours and weekend appointments. plus 20% off treatment plans for everyone. loving our patients unconditionally. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner.

[coughing] copd hasn't been pretty. it's tough to breathe and tough to keep wondering if this is as good as it gets. but trelegy has shown me that there's still beauty and breath to be had. because with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy keeps my airways open and prevents future flare-ups. and with one dose a day, trelegy improves lung function so i can breathe more freely all day and night. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. ♪ what a wonderful world ♪ ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy for copd

11:46 am
crisscrossing this country. >> campaign rallies are not a press conference. she can handle the questions. why not do it? >> we absolutely are going to do it. you hear her take questions out on the stump and she said last week we are going to be having a sit ball interview. >> one interview before the end of the month, that's not a lot. can you commit to a press conference before the end of the month? >> we will commit to directly engage with the voters that are actually going to decide this election. >> shannon: okay, vice president kamala harris is campaign staff on defense as she is yet to sit down with a former interview with the press since launching her presidential campaign 24 days ago. could it have an impact on her campaign? what's bring in jim geraghty, senior political correspondent for "national review" pure good to see you today. >> did we just see jim acosta of cnn -- you know you have stuffed it when even jim acosta is getting spicy. you are being ridiculous.
11:47 am
>> shannon: will there be a full-throated across the media call, gone too long, got to do this thing. only a few campaign, a condensed campaign, harris learned from biden, avoiding interviews is good strategy, she is losing no points. >> if we had the chance to interview -- there is a freudian slip -- for kamala harris, i wrote something similar for "national review," you've got to have this throat clearing. if you could answer a few questions, that would be good. i'd like to see more anger and indignation and hearing that obit more, you know, this is traditionally part of the role of the presidential candidate. you keep saying on day one. what is your job title? what have you been doing the past three years? do you have ideas you would like to enact the joe biden refuses to enact? that would be an interesting story. what are you going to do that is different from the last three
11:48 am
years? but if you go around giving speeches -- it is not like she goes into great detail about the policy -- the campaign ads on not tell you anything. it's all about i want to better america, great. >> shannon: we all do. >> so what we had it was the basement campaign of joe biden in 2020. he and jen psaki announced they will have the most open and accessible administration of all time and then he did fewer interviews and fewer press conferences than any of his six predecessors. okay come he is old and senile, that is why they did not put him out in front of the cameras. what is kamala harris is excuse? i think we all know, i haven't been to the border and europe, this kind of bad a dodge. you don't get to opt out of interviews when you're running for president of the united states. >> shannon: as we talked earlier, we have our own tape, 2019, the election going into 2020, from fracking to the supreme court and all kinds of things, and now we hear this trickle out from campaign
11:49 am
staffers and others saying oh, no, she has changed on certain positions but it seems like it would be important to hear that from the candidate herself. i want to play something from a group of everyday americans and how they feel about whether she needs to do some interviews. >> she is following joe biden's playbook. she is not willing to come forward with policy questions whatsoever. she doesn't have to, that's pretty much it. trump is probably not going to win. >> she doesn't want anybody to know what she is for because you can change it all a time. >> shannon: will there be those holding her feet to the fire? some people are going to love these positions but you need to tell us what they are. >> people change positions for legitimate reasons all the time. if you say i was against fracking, i looked at america's energy needs and decided this is not some thing we can do without -- okay. my speaking' sneaking suspicion is you really want to win the state of pennsylvania. not taxing tips because you want to win the state of nevada or

>> bill: so now the taliban marking three years since its return to power in afghanistan as we watched the deadly and chaotic withdrawal of american troops out of kabul under the biden administration. today, the taliban, three years later, was showing off. greg palkot live in london with that story appeared greg? >> hey, bill, very ugly anniversary celebrated in afghanistan today. supporters of the taliban took to the streets of kabul, some in former u.s. military vehicles, waving the taliban banner, three years since their comeback and seized power after the u.s.-backed government collapsed, this ahead of the u.s. troop withdrawal. the one time u.s. boggan airbase was the scene of the main event. a military --

london. stunning images, shannon. it's literally a military parade run by the taliban, driving on using american-made military gear. >> shannon: so disheartening. and something that will undoubtedly come up on the campaign trail, if the vice president says she endorsed the afghanistan plan and was the last person in the room, that's it? answering now. >> bill: we will get a break. back in a moment for a final worde ti. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900
