"the evening edit" starts right now.

♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. let's get right to d.c. president biden just hours ago admitted the collapse in afghanistan came more quickly than expected. he stands by his decision to withdraw. reports coming in the taliban is going house to house, door-to-door seizing people. fox news's mark march death has the latest from the white house. mark. reporter: good evening, elizabeth. president biden said the afghan military simply gave up. they didn't have the will to fight the taliban. he believes keeping u.s. troops on the ground in afghanistan would not have changed outcome for that country. still the president insists u.s. will provide humanitarian aid. we see terrible pictures out of afghanistan, including one you're seeing right now. he said too many american troops lives would be put at risk had they stayed any longer. the president said the u.s. can combat terrorism in afghanistan even without the traditional base that was established since

the u.s. invaded in 2001. >> i am president of the united states of america and the buck stops with me. i'm deeply saddened by the facts we now face but i do not regret my decision to end america's war fighting in afghanistan and maintain a laser focus on our counterterrorism mission there and other parts of the world. reporter: we've heard from a few democrats criticizing the president but several coming to his defense include illinois senator dick durbin but republicans on the hill are outraged. calling the last 72 hours a major failure for both washington and those on the ground in afghanistan. senator chuck grassley tweeted if president biden listened intel and military leaders he would have acted sooner to get americans out of afghanistan and it wouldn't turn into the debacle it turned into. more republicans are demanding

accountability from congress and congress exercise its authority what has been going on the last several weeks, not just the last 72 hours. there is big concern what it could mean for the u.s. global war on terror, whether we see emergence of terror groups like al qaeda after the u.s. pulls out of afghanistan as it is doing so right now. president biden is making his way back to camp david. he is expect to the continue his vacation this week. elizabeth. >> mark meredith, thank you so much. joining us retired u.s. army lieutenant colonel, he is james carafano. tennessee congressman mark green on house armed services. the good doctor was deployed to iraq and afghanistan. congressman, first to you. your reaction to the president today? >> thanks for having me on, liz. i was blown away honestly by the dishonesty of his comments. he made it sound like the afghans are not fighting. they have been essentially the ground force in this war for

several years. thousands of them have died. it is dishonest to say that they don't want to fight. we abandoned them. that's the sense they have. in the middle of the night we left bagram airbase without even notifying our ally, the afghan military that we were leaving. they just discovered an empty airfield and empty airfield. they felt abandoned. they lost the will to fight. it is not, it is not their fault. this is joe biden owns this. elizabeth: d.c. insiders, colonel, report shock that the administration was surprised that the taliban would capture the country this quickly. that the white house had no plan for that even though biden announced the withdrawal four months ago. "the washington post," "politico," biden ignored the advice of his generals. we have u.s. soldiers and families upset. they lost their lives and limbs in afghanistan, what do you say, colonel? >> the headline here biden has a political problem as well as strategic problem. we have the failure in

afghanistan we have to deal with that. biden went on national television said none of this is my fault. said a bunch of things not true, can be shown demonstrably false when people talk to the military and intelligence community and look at the documents. there will be a lot of time. biden made it all about his decision. he said i made the right decision. we'll debate that now. what we'll find out he lied to the american people. so it's a political disaster now and a strategic disaster. elizabeth: you know the president was vice president for eight years. he was also in the senate. this is a 20-year war congressman. the president is criticized being out of washington at camp david. the white house press secretary is on vacation. the uk prime minister called back parliament from sum are summer recess. what biden had to say last month and senator mitch mcconnell, biden said this would not be a second saigon in 1975 but it did

happen in cube kabul. >> do you see any parallels with in and vietnam. >> zero. >> was the taliban take over the afghanistan now inevitable? >> no, it is not inevitable. >> i think this is high likelihood the taliban will be back in control of the country, maybe as early as the end of the year and i worry about the future of afghan women and girls and that we will end up in a situation much like we found ourselves in before. not just me saying that. you said hillary clinton and conde rice, two former secretaries of state expressed the same concern. elizabeth: what do you say, congressman? >> i say same leadership as in 2011, same failure as 2011. joe biden was then the vice president. they ripped out of iraq.

what happened was the emergence of isis. they were lopping people's heads off. now they have just ripped us out of afghanistan and we're going to get the same thing. terrorists are in control. they have got a safe haven now, a country of their own and we're going to have, with an open southern border it is just coming again. this is a failed presidency is what it is. our president, our commander-in-chief has -- [inaudible]. elizabeth: got it. the former defense secretary, colonel, he is leon panetta, he compares the fall of afghanistan to the bay of pigs. he strongly recommended the president take responsibility, admit the mistakes. seems the president didn't do that. ryan crocker, obama's former ambassador is saying it is, quote, it is insane, it is quote idiotic to think the taliban is listening to threats from the president or nancy pelosi about you know, don't do bad things or we'll come after you. the taliban is doing what it

wants right now. what do you say? >> look, the bay of pigs was a failure. the cuban missile crisis was a intelligence failure. 9/11 was a intelligence failure. this is not. this is a president that made a bad decision. this is real red flag. this is not a jimmy carter presidency, a bunch of rookie mistakes the first year. all of biden's team are veterans of eight years of obama. these are well-seasoned guys who have been through benghazi, iraq, isis, libya, the red line. they have had crisis after crisis. they failed on all of them, they're back and they failed again. that should scare people. elizabeth: we hear you. you know congressman, nancy pelosi is saying, talking about the wisdom of what the president decided to do. we've got the taliban leader claiming he spent eight years in guantanamo. al ban is releasing prisoners

from al qaeda and isis. what is the wisdom in that? >> there is no wisdom in this. nancy pelosi is trying to cover for the president who happens to be in here party. this is an abysmal failure and it is going to put americans at risk. there is, no one is debating this. elizabeth: we've got you know, leaders from the uk, canada, australia, dozens of countries around the world, expressing disappointment and shock, colonel. we have more breaking news. opec and russia told the biden administration they will not pump more oil after the administration asked them to do that last week, facing rising gas prices. also this, homeland security and the joint chiefs of staff chair, they are both warning about rising terror threats here in the u.s. we're about to approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11. what do you say to that? >> let's focus on the terrorism issue because we have two near term trans national terrorist problems where we could see a

resurge answer of trans national terrorism. one is afghanistan is prime again to become a sanctuary for trans national terrorist activity. that's a problem but we also have the narrative problem, the taliban own more territory than they did on 9/11. this is a great victory for them. this is a rallying cry to the islamist terrorist worldwide to rise up and strike again. you have global motivation to do attacks and you potentially have a new base. these are two issues, put all the failures and partisan bickering aside, biden needs to jump on those two issues. as far as i know they have no real counterterrorism plan except ordering the department of homeland security to harass trump supporters because they might support trump. elizabeth: what do you say to what james carafano just said? people are saying joe biden completely miscalculated in which case he is incompetent and he knew this would be the result and he didn't care?

they tossed away two decades of work. four administrations trying to deal with the graveyard of empires. talking two democrat administrations, two republican administrations. what are your thoughts about what james carafano just said? >> you know i think this issue with terrorism is real but it is even worse now with what's happened in afghanistan, coupled with our southern border but this is the administration who when they first got back in power wants to renegotiate a failed deal with the iranian regime. i mean, they seem to want to be friends with people who are our enemies. the taliban is our enemy. and biden is basically fine with just letting them take back over a country? i bet the next thing isn't going to be what james is talking about. they will not confront that. they will try to renegotiate the deal with iran because they think that is what brings america safety. it's not. it is a strong resolute -- elizabeth: we hear you. sorry about that.

i didn't mean to talk over you. we also have muslim leaders we should point out are expressing severe concern and shock over the brutalization of by the taliban of women and children there and also the complete depravity how they behave. congressman mark green, lieutenant colonel james carafano, thank you both very much for your service to our country. come back soon. good to see you both. >> god bless. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: up next congressman michael waltz, a former green beret. he will join us next. we have national security experts. we'll stay on the story. they're warning about the rise of terrorism here in the u.s. taliban freeing isis and al qaeda prisoners in afghanistan. defense ministers are saying this is spiraling into a failed state, potential civil war. you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. >> these images are heartbreaking. for anyone who served in afghanistan like myself, thousands of others, anyone who invested anything at all in our

great to have you on. house leader kevin mccarthy, thanks for joining us. house minority leader kevin mccarthy says we have to look to our own border as taliban releases from prison al qaeda and isis militants that is the report coming into the studios. what do you say to that? >> there are tens of thousands. the most recent was 5000 that have been released from various prisons. 5000 was at our main air bass ae at bagram outside of kabul. the biden administration gave away. there were hardened al qaeda, isis leaders we have no idea where they are now. coupled with a southern border wide open. as we all know a pathway a smuggling route, a tunnel that will move drugs and migrants will move weapons of mass

destruction, terrorist weapons. the cartels in mexico could care less as long as they get paid. elizabeth: yeah. this is scary stuff. the news is coming in. we've got breaking news. the outgoing border patrol chief rodney scott told his 19,000 agents in a fairwell video message on august 14th, there are quote unprecedented numbers of known or suspected terrorists that have crossed the border in recent months already. we already know that they have caught four terrorists on the fbi no-fly list and watch list, two from yemen. two from serbia. your thoughts on rodney scott out with that big warning. nobody knew anything about that. what do you say to that? >> i mean we're seeing, we're seeing folks that have been captured anywhere from 70 to 80 countries around the world. these are the people that we're detaining. who knows who we're not detaining. hundreds of thousands a month and the cartel use the migrants

as a smoke screen, one to divert our poor border resources and two to make millions and millions of dollars per week. this is an unmitigated disaster. it is a national security disaster. those people are shipped off wholesale across the united states. it is not just a border problem. and then you know, on top of that we have the tons of fentanyl, drugs, and again anything else that the cartels are paid to move across the border. now we have a al qaeda 3.0 that will come roaring back and i got to tell you, terrorism in afghanistan doesn't stay in afghanistan. it spreads like a cancer and we're wide open on our flanks. elizabeth: you know congressional republicans and democrats are demanding to know why the president left d.c., and why the press secretary left washington, why house speaker nancy pelosi is not bringing back people from recess,

congressman and women from recess. the uk is doing that. they're bringing parliament back. there is not even any classified briefings going on right now. let's listen to secretary of state antony blinken what he had to say. critics are saying this is weak positioning and weak messaging. watch this. >> a future afghan government that upholds the basic rights of its people and doesn't harbor terrorists is a government we can work with and recognize. conversely a government that doesn't do that, that doesn't uphold the basic rights of its people including women and girls, that harbors terrorist groups that have designs on the united states or our allies and partners, certainly that is not going to happen. elizabeth: okay. former ambassador ryan crocker, he was obama's ambassador, he is saying quote, it is idiotic and insane to think that the taliban listens to rhetoric like this. what do you say? >> yeah. it is asinine.

i can tell you having dealt with the taliban on the ground they could care less whether they are invited into tony blinken's cocktail club. they are about power and leverage and respond to bombs and warheads, period. until we have a position of strength the taliban will continue to use negotiations as a smoke screen to get what they want. they smell weakness right now and we've seen the results of it. and by the way, blinken, austin and the whole crew were in charge when we yanked ourselves under obama, out of iraq too soon, the rise of isis, caliphate the size of indiana and attacks around the world. we're about to see that horror movie play itself out once again but this time it will be far worse because we have no bases, no local allies and they are armed to the teeth with warehouses full of armor, artillery and heavy weapons we

left behind. this is a disaster of epic proportions. elizabeth: congressman michael waltz, thank you very for joining us. thank you for your service to our country. it is good to have you on. up next national border patrol council. he is president of that council, he is brandon judd. he is going to join us. we'll stay on the warnings about terrorism. in another development, border patrol agents in california and texas got gun shots fired at them from mexico, from across the border. we're coming into the bottom of the hour. keep it here on "the evening edit." you're watching the fox business network. >> americans see this for what it is and although secretary mayorkas, the homeland security continues to describe their policies as safe, humane and orderly, americans see that they are anything but.

♪. elizabeth: joining us now national border patrol council president, he is brandon judd. he is back with us. good to see you, brandon. brandon, what is the story that border agents from california and texas got gunshots fired at them from mexico across the border last week? what's going on? >> liz, you have documented very well over the past few months the unprecedented level of violence occurring in the united states and that violence includes the border. right now what we're seeing is we're seeing criminals are emboldened. they're emboldened by this

administration because this administration fails to take actions that are necessary to protect the citizens of the united states. and when that happens, criminal cartels operating in mexico feel like they can do anything they want and they will continue with this violence as long as this administration continues with policies. what is very interesting, is under the trump administration we had a great working relationship with the mexican government. now that working relationship is completely gone. we don't get the support that is necessary from the mexican government, the mexican military or the mexican police. so we're seeing this level of violence continue to escalate. the numbers continue to escalate. the drugs continue to escalate. everything on the border continues to escalate because this administration is doing nothing to secure the american public. elizabeth: you know critics are saying all joe biden had to do was keep the status quo both in, both at the border and both in afghanistan. he didn't need to change anything because the policies were working. so you and i have been talking

about the border for five years now. just three days before the shooting at border patrol officials in san diego county, it happened at the border in texas and surveillance camera operators, brandon, in that sector confirmed the presence of two subjects armed with high caliber rifles. this sounds like snipers, am i wrong? >> no, no, you're absolutely correct. again, when you look at, it is amazing when we can say an administration needs to keep things status quo and things will be perfectly fine. normally administrations need to come in to make changes. this administration didn't. they were given everything on a platter and all they had to do was keep the policies, programs and operations in place. they changed everything to pander to their base, to try to, energize their base to get them out to you know, approve of what they're doing. what that has done, it has

caused complete and total chaos on our borders. elizabeth: you know, brandon, border patrol in texas they have been taunted by cartels across the river waving guns at them. we have illegal border crossings hitting the highest in 21 years. we're seeing record number of stash houses in texas and all the border states. not just houses and apartments, but tractor-trailers and more. human smuggler stash houses are on the rise in border states. can you link with what is happening with gunshots fired at border patrol officials from mexico? >> again, i'm going back a couple months ago when we took 19 different senators out on the border. they were able to go on the river, they themselves were taunted by criminal cartels. that is how little esteem these

cartels have for our elected officials in the united states. when we see numbers go up, we'll see more stash houses as numbers go up. i suspect we'll find more tunnels. as numbers go up, i suspect we'll have more of our children die because of drug overdoses here in the united states. everything that happens on the border will affect u.s. citizens throughout this country, whether it is in florida, chicago, maine, throughout the entire united states. what happens here ends up in our, in the mainstream here in the united states and it hurts us. elizabeth: all right. brandon judd, thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. thank you so much for your service to our country. >> thank you. elizabeth: good to see you. up next congressman byron donalds join us. fights breaking out across the country over covid rules. in los angeles hundreds took to the streets to protest covid mandates. keep it here on "the evening edit. >> the enormous damage that was done to students in terms of isolation and lack of social

world. yes delta variant cases are on the rise because it is highly contagious. but if you've been vaccinated you're basically protected unilaterally from the worst of effects of covid-19. so people are sick of it. they are over it. people want information. they will make a decision with their own lives. but what is happening in california in part is pressuring people to get vaccinated with weird mandates coming out but it list the oppressive way gavin newsom destroyed the state of california. the people of california you have the opportunity to recall the governor, recall him. because he has been an abject disaster for your state. elizabeth: the astrazeneca scientist, professor andrew pollard he is saying in the uk we'll just have to live with this virus. we'll just have to deal with it. we should stop talking about cases and focus on hospitalizations and people getting really sick, congressman because the data is showing 44% of those who are vaccinated who

are immunocompromised could get sick again from covid. that is what he is saying. focus on the hospitalizations. what do you say to that? >> that is the absolute correct way to go. if you're running around chasing cases you're never going to stop. there will always be that next wave of cases around the corner. that is not the real concern. the real concern is the percentage of the population that has to be hospitalized and the percentage of the population that would pass away from covid-19. that is what we need to be concerned with right now. tough monitor that stuff. you can't just track absolute numbers of monthizations and absolute numbers of deaths because that doesn't paint the whole picture. we should be looking at this in terms of hospitalizations per 10,000 people or per 100,000 people. deaths per 10,000 people or per 100,000 people because that then gives you the statistical information you need to judge how deeply covid-19 or frankly

the worst effects of covid-19 have penetrated your community or your state or whatever the case might be. elizabeth: congressman, you're making excellent points here. we've got the biden administration, the education secretary getting in a fight with governor desantis saying that the white house will pay the salaries of florida school officials who break desantis' no mask mandates. basically using our federal tax dollars for teachers to enforce masks. there is a fight going on. desantis is thought to be a 2024 contender, congressman. you have serious economic data. collapse in consumer sentiment in university of michigan index there. also the empire manufacturing index. you're seeing manufacturing activity hitting historic lows while these petty sidebar fights are going on. what do you say to that? >> listen i wish joe biden paid as much attention to afghanistan as he is paying to ron desantis

because maybe he would have had a better outcome there the fact of the matter is this, joe biden and his education secretary don't care about our constitution because the federal government has no authority to pay people in the state of florida if the governor of that state decides that he is going to pull paychecks. that is not their job. that is not their authority. the federal government needs to mind their own business and do its job and let the governors who are duly-elected in their states like america's governor, ron desantis. do their job. that is just that simple. speaking of manufacturing the reason why the output is so low because of joe biden's handling of our economy and also covid-19. when you pay people to stay at home what do you think is going to happen? people are going to stay at home. they're not going to go to work. that is the fault of the biden administration, not the fault of governors trying to manage their state in the appropriate way by allowing their industries to thrive and flourish while also having to manage the pandemic at the same time.

agents and others outside of the government for knowingly using false information paid for by democrats, this is the anti-trump opposition research paid for by hillary clinton's campaign and the dnc in order to orchestrate invasive fisa wiretaps on civilians in the trump campaign? is this a real thing? what do you think? >> it is a real thing. it has been from the beginning. durham is very much a professional prosecutor, not a politician. not somebody using the the office for political gain. he lost nine or 10 months of grand jury work with covid. he is doggedly looking into the information. what is interesting about this story, liz, it is not coming from durham. these guys have been disciplined about not leaking, not being politicized. think back to the mueller probe. they execute ad warrant at roger stone's house the media was there before the fbi was.

they were symbiotic with the media that was a comey legacy with fbi conduct. that is not anything from the probe. they have gotten criticism from the left and right. they're not telling everybody what they're doing. that is exactly what prosecutors are supposed to do. elizabeth: that is an interesting point. the doj, inspector general, he concluded that the dnc and hillary clinton's campaign paid for opposition research from former british spy christopher steele. that anti-trump information played a quote, central role in the fbi's push to get wiretaps against the trump team. the doj watchdog criticized the fbi for at least 17 significant errors and omissions there was a debunked claim that the doj inspector general debunked that the trump organization computers were secretly communicating with putin computers. pushed back on the claim.

steele testified in court that the democrat lawyer gave him that information. than hillary clinton turned around and said there is covert communications. this may be unlocking of the mysteries of the trump russia connection and hotline. msnbc ran with this fake story. it is still out there. what do you say? >> there is a lot out there. the starting point was the hillary clinton decision to distract from her own scandal. john brennan for all his flaws, warned the fbi three days in advance there, is a big distraction about trump story coming and there was. the point is not opposition research but complete peddling of manufactured information, that is own category of sleaziness. what durham is looking at, maybe the law enforcement, the intelligence communities use of this. not just using false information but knowingly using false information. that is when you start to get

into the world of criminality where you talk about audit services fraud, wire fraud or obstruction of justice. we have a period of time where the doj, i'm sorry the fbi general counsel manufactured, changed the meaning of an email to help the fbi spy on the trump camp. these are headliners in any other administration. elizabeth: -- wiretap. that is a fisa wiretap. this is a secret fisa court meant for terrorists that was politicized and possible perjury charges too. they were misled, the fisa court was misled by the fbi here. fbi officials rather. we should talk about that john brennan meeting quickly with president obama warning obama that you know, that the hrc was distracting from her email scandal. right away the fbi trump-russia probe launched. you have 10 seconds. where does this lead? >> probably to indictments. don't expect a report. the report only comes in there is not an an indictment.

i think we'll see something later this year in the way of criminal charges. elizabeth: okay. jim trusty, you're terrific. come back soon. up next another big defeat for the president at the border. missouri attorney general eric schmidt breaks it down. stay right there. ♪

elizabeth: joining is now missouri attorney general eric schmidt it's great to have you back on. can we talk about afghanistan, your state is down near the border the president comes back into d.c. gives a scripted response about the collapse of afghanistan says the buck stops with me. then he said his hands were tied by trump and then he blamed the afghan military, but you're down there with texas and the rest of the border states. the dhs and the joint chief of staff were warning about terrorism crossing the border as well, what do you say. >> i think what this shows in the last week or so is a complete failure by the biden administration of joe biden a lack of leadership and what's happening is a tragedy of the images and this is all in joe

biden the ag's across the country as part of our job to push back on what's happening with abided administration and one of those ways that were doing is on immigration. on friday night we scored a bigg victory for border security and the rule of law so on day one joe biden reverse president trump's remaining mexico policy the migrant protection protocols which basically said while you're seeking asylum to come into the united states mexico will be the waiting room joe biden reverse out on day one, what have we seen over a million people across the board or illegally that we know of, there's over 200,000 in july alone that across-the-board or illegally and we know nine out of ten asylum-seekers are bogus claims we know there's a profit motive are really bad people taken advantage of this humanitarian crisis by human trafficking and drug trafficking to get people across the border and now under joe biden's policy

after he change president trump they come into the united states they seek asylum and released into the interior of the united states to never be seen again so this win that we scored on friday night will get us back to president trump's policy which will mean a more secure border and some integrity in her immigration process and it's a big win for the rule of law there's no question about that. elizabeth: is a major victory for your state and other border states the federal judge in northern texas found that the white house had literally injured texas and missouri after increases in human trafficking and other crimes of the border, that's what he was talking about as well, injury to the state. >> and missouri we were speaking on behalf of all the states that aren't directly on the southern border but we made a big emphasis in our office to take on human trafficking missouri has a number of interstates we have rail and river and

interstates the intersected missouri and as we continue to fight the battle having a poorest and completely open border on the southern border we know that exacerbates a human trafficking and by the way there is value associated with women and children these are bad people who are taken advantage of a situation bringing them in the united states, they claim asylum and get a court date and on the honor system is supposed to show up and it don't show up this will add the victory that we have on friday and get us back to president trump successful policy of saying mexico. elizabeth: now there's a nationwide injunction from the federal judge. go ahead. >> it is a nationwide injunction, this is a big deal and for the biden administration has no regard for the rule of law, on day one they canceled the keystone xl pipeline, they created something in their pushing back on that in immigration policy. elizabeth: the judges found the administration broke the law

let's listen to dhs secretary al alejandro mayorkas on audio talking about what is happening at the border it's pretty bad stuff. listen to this. >> here in the sector and it's my responsibility to make sure that it never happens again. >> this is unsustainable these numbers will continue and we cannot get to a point where we were a couple weeks ago and we have to make sure that doesn't happen. elizabeth: that was a homeland security secretary he was secretly recorded in audio he is saying is unsustainable in the system is not a breaking point in certain regions, your final word. >> is not sustainable which is why it's up to the states to bring sanity and they filed a lawsuit against abided administration we wanted to bring border security and the rule of law back into play so you have the folks were seeking

asylum and can have their day in court but will remain a mexico in the released into the interior of the united states. >> it's good to see you thank you for coming on come back soon. i'm elizabeth macdonald you been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. that doesn't for us thank you for watching we hope you have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. ♪. larry: hello everybody what and welcome to come though i am david asman and for larry kudlow we are waiting for president biden to address the fall of afghanistan to the taliban he is expected to speak in two minutes but let's bring in former secretary of state ci director under president trump mike pompeo, great to see you, we are getting some talking points and i hope you can stay until after the president finishes. but the talking points come from pelosi's office and says that administration new there was a distinct possibility that kabul would fall to the taliban it was
