[cheers and applause] ♪ climbing the mountain just to prove i can ♪ if i was the man they wanted me to be. en. brian: white sox dramatic victory after the yankees came all the way back to tie it and it was the walk-off homer that's why they are in first. the bigger story where they were played and the setting it took place. ainsley: look at that what's he saying? brian: i guess it's over. 8,000 there pretty exciting. steve: it was so much fun if you were watching the field of dreams game last night on fox.
3:02 am
the coverage started at 6:30 or 6:00. we were watching everything. and, as darkness falls it looks like a regular stadium until you zoom in and there is the corn. but the way it started in the beginning just like the movie where kevin costner comes out of the corn. brian: do we have it? ainsley: kevin costner was there. there he is. all the women in my house are like he still has it. brian: put it up. steve: this is way after. and here come the teams. ainsley: so beautiful. steve: the theme song. ainsley: america needed this. brian: exactly like the movie. steve: it was so much fun to watch. our whole family watched it three different states but we were all watching and texting each other. ainsley: family text chain. steve: it was great. 8,000 people in attendance. the tickets in the middle of an iowa cornfield sold for thousands of dollars tickets still remaining. those people will never forget
3:03 am
last night. and i hope major league baseball does this at least once a year. ainsley: look at kevin costner so cute. still has it, brian. all these years. brian: movie comes out in 19 9. i imagine it will be downloaded a lot over the weekend. some of the players hadn't seen the movie. steve: hadn't been born. ainsley: the kid said yesterday came out 89, he said that's the year i was born. brian: here is kevin costner. people assumed he was going to play some type of role. he was a pitcher. did play at call state. fullerton. and he was also in one of these movies that i know. steve: bull durham. brian: another one where he was a pitcher with the tigers. ainsley: for the love of the game? brian: you could tell he is a baseball player. steve: is he an athlete. brian: this is what he said before the game. >> on the other side of that
3:04 am
corn we filmed a movie that stood the test of time. we have kept our promise. major league baseball has kept its promise. the dream is still alive. probably just one question to answer. is this heaven? [cheers and applause] i don't think i heard you. is this] heaven? [cheers] yes, it is. this field is for the players. steve: what everybody was screaming was when he said is it heaven and they go no, it's iowa. that's the line out of the movie. just like if you build it, they will come. major league baseball spent $5 million to build it they came last night. and if anything -- listen, that game last night was bigger than the world series that i can remember in the longest time. it was just so much fun. it was for the love of the game again which is what it is all about.
3:05 am
ainsley: reminds me of what america used to be and what we hope it still remains. it's america's favorite past time. it's a burial sport. to say see kevin costner out there who all the women adore. all the women in my house were fawning over him. steve: what an image. brian: crushing for the yankees photographic for the white sox. ainsley: the yankees did well. brian: doesn't matter they need a win. ainsley: i know. brian: all right. so let's move on. ainsley: how did they decide these two teams? brian: white sox are perfect because it shoeless joe jackson this thing was based upon the fact that he is not in the hall of fame they accused hiv many sheeting because he listened to the possible. he listened to gamblers who wanted him to throw the game. there is no evidence by his stats he ever threw a game. a controversy that lasted to this day. it's appropriate that the white sox, who were -- everybody there banned from baseball came through those cornfields. steve: a great movie about that called eight men out.
3:06 am
ainsley: i will have to watch it. steve: as you are watching field of dreams watch that one, too. five minutes after the top of the hour. we have a fox news alert. the taliban has taken over three more afghan capital cities. ainsley: this is very scary. the militant group now controls more than two thirds of the country and its capital kabul could be next. brian: what an embarrassment to this nation. stepping in dramatically. sending thousands of troops back no not to fight but to evacuate from the afghan embassy as we beg them not to take the embassy. do you believe this. but as soldiers head out, president biden leaves for vacation. indications are when they have these emergency meetings he wasn't even there he is going to camp david today from his home -- to his home in wilmington, delaware. unbelievable. so when rear admiral kirby who knows better and general austin who certainly understands if you want to get out of afghanistan, this is not the way to lead.
3:07 am
is he absolutely embarrassing the country and the military and everything that he promised would not happen is happening. 14 provincial capitals are now gone in taliban hands. kandahar fell last night. kabul is being threatened. people are begging to get out. they are burning women alive. they are forcing them to marry taliban fighters and they are using our equipment. they are using our bases. now, against us. so we are in such a rush to leave, i wouldn't even doubt we left paperwork there, top secret stuff. ainsley: what are they doing to the women you said they are burning by the hair. brian: if you see their hair they burn them alive. and as a threat to them, we're saying well, if they continue this way, they will be a pariah around the world. have you met the taliban? do you understand they live to be a pariah around the world? one nation recognized them before 9/11. and that was saddam hussein's iraq. ainsley: one street vendor a man said he had to flee his town. the taliban set fire to his
3:08 am
home. we have no money to buy bread or get medicine for my child. steve: that's terrible. apparently u.s. embassy personnel hearing that the reports that the taliban executing afghan troops who were surrendering. the taliban is straight out of the 10th century where they are, you know, trying to turn 12-year-olds into sex slaves. it's all bad and a desperate situation over there we saw the lesson that russia tried to win there for a long time, couldn't, pulled out. donald trump ran on bringing everybody home, so did joe biden. joe biden said he was going to do testimony and it looks like the timetable for biden is still at the end. brian: this is on them. ainsley: the legacy would be the border problem, crime problem, covid and now it would be this what's happening in afghanistan. brian: this is our saigon moment. remember, just a few weeks great fighting force. 10,000 troops, no problem. i have to go.
3:09 am
listen to this. >> taliban takeover of afghanistan now inevitable? >> no, it is not. because you have the afghan troops have 300,000 well equipped, as well equipped as as any army in the world and an air force against something like 75,000 taliban. it is not inevitable. >> do you trust the taliban, mr. president? >> is that a serious question? >> absolutely a serious do you trust the taliban. >> no, i do not. no i do not trust the taliban. i trust the capacity of the afghan military who is better trained, better equipped, and more -- and more competent in terms of conducting war. from. steve: joe biden also said on tuesday he does not regret what he is executing right now. so, going forward. brian: shows how clueless he is. steve: the "wall street journal" has an op-ed this morning that
3:10 am
summarizes where we are. and it, you know, it acknowledges that for the most part a majority of americans want involvement to end because it has become an endless war. brian: we haven't lost a casualty in 18 months. steve: the "wall street journal" continues to write many americans may not care what happens in afghanistan. but as in vietnam, the abandonment of our allies will have significant costs. when the world's rogues sense that a super power lacks the will to support its friends, they soon look for other ways to take advantage. and, see, that's one of the things donald trump has said mike pompeo was on last night. i believe with sean, and he said, you know, one of the things that president trump said mike, we want to bring everybody home but we have got to make sure that they can never pull off another terrorist attack from there again. that explains why. brian: can't have it both ways by the way.
3:11 am
steve: that explains why as we send 3,000 troops in to take out the personnel, i was reading this morning, do you know how many embassy personnel we have? ainsley: how many? steve: 4,000. those people do not all work at the embassy. a lot of those people are contractors and part of the intel community who are part of trying to keep the lid on the garbage can so that what happened coming up on 20 years ago, does not happen again. ainsley: when our military is not there, how do they do that? u.k. is also deploying 600 troops to support the british nationals leaving the country. pete hegseth interviewed a father who lost his son over in afghanistan. and he said my son must be rolling over in his grave knowing that we are pulling out of a country when we have not won the war. you never win a fight without winning. brian: an interview with foxnew. i guess this is our vietnam.
3:12 am
a very defeated sense of what they spent on many of them more than a decade of back-to-gang tours defending. keep in mind, also, they are emptying the prisons with al-qaeda and isis in them as they pull into major cities they say you have your freedom, freedom to do the only thing you have been trained to do and that's blow up westerners and kill innocent people. general jack keane will be coming up. ainsley: four star general retired. brian: he will hopefully, there is still a way, the way we took it to the first time, to push them back. my hope is that joe biden realizing this will be his lasting legacy will listen to the cia and maybe some military and we never wanted to own the country. we wanted it give the country a chance to stand. they had women wearing for 20 years actually had a chance at education at leadership, they had taken businesses coming up. hardly heaven. i get it but, to leave 2500 troops. can you imagine if we didn't have troops in japan or in south korea today? what kind of influence we have
3:13 am
in the reasonable by our presence in the region? we have now decided to give that over to china, russia, iran. do you feel good about that? i don't. ainsley: i want to know what this means for the united states and jack keane is going to be on to talk about it. steve: the whole idea to keep that from being a breeding ground for terrorism. let's hope he has a plan. brian: he does not have plan. is he on vacation. s he has no plan that is clear. meanwhile straight ahead. they claim the border is closed. border crossings hit a 25-year hire. ainsley: an atlanta mother furious after she says her daughter's school segregating class by race in the name of equity. ♪ ♪

challenges we face. it is complicated, changing, and involves vulnerable people at a time of a global pandemic. griff: but behind closed doors in this leaked audio obtained by fox news with the secretary talking to agents he admits the situation is much more dire. >> this is going to -- these numbers can't continue. we can't get to where we were a couple weeks ago and make sure that doesn't happen. griff: unclear that what those options are. border patrol chief rodney scott not sugar coastal what his agents are facing right now. >> other people talk about current crisis today being immigration crisis. and i challenge you, i firmly believe it is a national security crisis. griff: during mayorkas' visit to the rio grande valley where they're averaging 20,000 illegal crossings a week he met with local leaders that include henry

3:23 am
director mark morgan, been on this show a million times. he was doing a briefing yesterday with the heritage foundation. and he said border patrol agents were apparently told to clear out of the temporary camps in overcrowded facilities, you know that bridge we have shown a million times with 10,000 people under. apparently border patrol was told to get rid of all of the people. clear out the overcrowded places and w to start talking to the people on the mexican side. mexican security to coordinate with them so during mayorkas' visit, we don't see a bunch of people streaming across the southern border. it's all -- look, yesterday all about bad numbers. really bad numbers. but they didn't want bad optics to go with the bad numbers. brian: what you are looking at one consistent policy, one consistent corollary between afghanistan and the border.

illegals, as far as we feel, are more important to them than we are. they still want us to be carrying a card around saying that we have been vaccinated or haven't and wearing activistma. these illegals are not being told to do anything. just carte blanche. >> they are getting on airplanes a lot of them without any identification. >> exactly. so, how do you deal with that? only one man that can fix it, that's biden, but he won't. so that, to me, is unamerican. it's absolutely unamerican what's going on. brian: what's so interesting is you have a democrat in henry cuellar speaking the truth because he cares more about his constituents than his party. they are trying to primary him as well as the democratic mayor probably going to get blow back from the democratic party for telling the truth. ainsley: their message is don't come over yet they allow them to flood our country. they are not doing anything about it they don't care if they're covid positive. yet they care if we're covid positive. they want us to get vaccinated. they continue to send that message. other media outlets are not reporting on this. they know they have that power.
3:26 am
so they continue to spread these messages. it's so infuriating and frustrating to watch this happen. because we all suffer. we have to do the right thing. yet, they don't have. to say. brian: how unbelievable is it that they are not even covering it on other networks. 18 seconds on abc. ainsley: the administration knows it they say the soundbite, we are not letting them come over. they know the other channels will play it yet, we see what's happening. we are reporting on it, but they know that they're not going to report on it, because they are democrats and they support this administration. brian brain they must get up every day and throw out the first biggest story on the country, can't report on cuomo and illegal immigration. ainsley: can't report on crime. brian: walk against traffic? can't they do a story on that. steve: listen, that's why we are number one. we do all the stories. you want to see all the stories? you are going to see them here. here's a story. i don't know what other channels, it's grand new i don't know what other channels are going to cover it there is a mother down in atlanta by the name of kila posey, she has
3:27 am
filed federal discrimination complaint against mary lynn elementary school in atlanta. and she says the school is segregated or has segregated students based on their race. she went in to talk to the principal. ainsley: meaning black kids are in one class and white kids are in the other class. steve: she went in to talk to a principal by the name of sharon briscoe, the principal who is black. apparently put black students into two classes with two different teachers while white students were put in six classes with six different teachers, she found out about it when she called the principal's office and asked about putting her child into a different class. because she thought she knew -- she heard about this other teacher, thought a better fit for my child. here she is on prime time last night describing what she has learned was going on at her kids kid's school. >> i informed her of the teacher that was the best fit for my student.
3:28 am
and that's when she informed me that if i placed her in that classroom, that she would be by herself with no others that looked like her. and when i questioned it. she told me that was not the black class. i was then confused. appalled that in 2020 we're talking about black classes. and segregation. they did not place her in that classroom. but they -- and they did tell us it was months later by the time they had investigated and gone through the process and confirmed that the principal had, in fact, had this practice going on. steve: right. and kila apparently recorded a conversation she had with an assistant principal who confirmed what the principal was doing to essentially have segregated classes in atlanta, georgia in 2021. ainsley: if this is true, i can't believe this principal thought that was okay.
3:29 am
the civil rights act of 1964 prevents, this not allowed to segregate based on race. steve: you wonder is it hang in other schools as well? >> surely not. steve: did we know it was happening there? it could be happening elsewhere. brian: the administration doesn't know half what's happening in their own curriculum under their own command. twice pointed out problems in the mandate. we didn't know they were there we will correct that. the atlanta public school says this. atlanta public school does not condone the assigning of students to classrooms based on race. reviewed actions. appropriate actions were taken that's nice. address the issue and the matter was closed. steve: atlanta public schools is can say action was taken what was the action? we have the right to know. fox news did reach out to atlanta public schools and is said hey what was the action? they have not yet responded we will keep you posted. speaking of the schools, you remember the loudoun county

3:36 am
ignores our own american oil manufacturers number one in the world. the white house said this although we are not a party to opec u.s. will always speak to international partners regarding matters of significance. engaging with opec members on the importance of competitive markets. ensure reliable and stable energy supplies and opec must do more to support the recovery. here with his hand up saying i can help chris wright ceo of liberty oil field services and brian lynn a third generation oil and gas worker and he is here to react. what's your reaction when the president reaches out to the masters of the middle east? >> i think it's it's a blatant slap to the oil and gas industry in america. i mean, it's -- if he took off the regulations, it would bring us back to where we were with trump, where we were a net exporter. and, we wouldn't be so worried about what exactly order is he going to pass down and add more regulations. brian: chris, you guys could this for a living every day.
3:37 am
you don't have to go 1-800-iraq or saudi arabia, could you guys help americans now? >> absolutely. u.s. oil and gas production grew for many years. it could grow again. 100 percent. brian: in terms of oil and gas, you guys can affect the market, you could bring the price down at the pump? >> it's supply and demand. u.s. oil and gas producers have lots of locations. of course u.s. oil and gas production could grow. but, instead, the biden administration has suspended permits on federal lands. done everything regulatory to discourage the drilling of oil and gas wells in the u.s. no need for it to be discouraged. brian: brian, this must be especially gulling seeing the damage the president has done two days prior. the future is not going to be oil and gas. in an electric car buzzing around the white house and reached out to the oil and gas producers because it's affecting everything do you and buy you
3:38 am
need oil and gas to get the products on a shelf. what was it like for you personally hearing that? >> i mean, i just don't think he ever wants to come out and say anything about the, you know, what people are paying food, diapers, traveling on the road. and it's -- i mean, disheartening. the supply chain strains on our business alone is tough. steel prices are going up. he could help us out there. he could remove some tariffs. possibly bring back deregulating the oil and gas, open up the keystone pipeline. open up the federal lands for drilling and fracking. but he won't. he is too busy spending time and allowing russia to build their pipeline and create jobs in other countries and then, you know, basically push the electric vehicles on to everyone. you know, bill gaetz and jeff bezos backing the mining company for metals in greenland. is he not talking about that.
3:39 am
not my backyard is i think joe biden's biggest policies. brian: i noticed that, too. you are not exaggerating, brian, is he doing that in greenland. 6 million barrels a day withholding. chris, how much has he hurt you already as gas is now 3.19 from 2.19. how much has he hurt your industry already and he has only within in the job seven months. >> chilling regulatory environment. a message you are not welcome here. a message that tax policy is going to change. of course that slows investment for development in the u.s. when you show slow investment you slow the growth of supply you push prices up. everything he has done is, of course, is going to raise the price of gaffes at the pump, it's going to raise home heating prices. and he continues down this pathway of course we should be in more of the same. brian: discouraging kids from getting into your industry. you have so many jobs to fill. final thought real quick, brian?
3:40 am

4:10 am
on right now. trying to get americans out because the worry is the taliban. brian: we are asking the taliban not to hurt anybody as we hand the country over to them in a situation they said would not happen. now in a humiliating fashion we have got to bring 3,000 people in to protect our 4,000 that are left. put 3,000 into kuwait. 4,000 reserve forces into qatar and wait to make sure if 3,000 aren't there to protect and evacuate we have more to go in. they said they took kandahar which is symbolic because that's exactly where the taliban was created and the insurgency took root as they ousted the soviet puppet government back in the 1980s what ultimately brought down their country. 5200 troops. nato and u.s. forces were able to keep that country together and taliban at bay. and once again i'm reminded of what secretary of defense gaetz
4:11 am
said. joe biden has been wrong about every national security and defense issue since he has been around, you are talking about 50 years. joe biden weighs also the one who picked up the phone and told barack obama it's okay to pull all our troops out of iraq. two months later, we had isis and had to go back in to two separate countries to reclaim it. ainsley: national security is everyone's concern here in america. especially with the borders being open there you see what's happening in average. people are fleeing. they are going to the capital of kabul to seek asylum basically. they are sleeping on the streets. there was a street vendor that was interviewed. he is a man. the taliban set fire to his house. enough to they have no money to buy bread or get medicine for their children. in the past month, more than 1,000 civilians have been killed in afghanistan. that's why we are sending in these 3,000 troops into kabul to evacuate our u.s. beassments the u.k. is also sending in 600 troops to support their british nationals that are trying to leave the country.
4:12 am
steve: it's such a mess right now. joe biden is not at the white house to go down to the situation room to get briefed. instead he is in wilmington he this afternoon will actually chop tore camp david. brian: think about this. secretary of defense austin is a general. for him to hold on to that job and know what this was going to mean and okay and check off on a strategy that couldn't be more disastrous is shameful. general milley should have resigned. remember general mattis had no problem stepping out secretary of defense when he disagreed with president trump in syria. remember that then president trump says there's the door where is that pride now? you told president biden that this strategy worked, which is shameful and shows a total i object competence or you knew it wouldn't work and kept quiet, which i would argue is even worse. general milley, secretary austin, you know better meanwhile president biden, too much pride acknowledged everything he said was wrong. ainsley: is he going on vacation
4:13 am
now. brain brian "new york post" said it best. military e pert this is on joe biden. >> >> general jack keane is going to be on in an hour with brian to get his opinion. meanwhile a fox news poll and they asked you the voter what are your main concerns? this is interesting. inflation was number one. 86 percent said that political division and then thirdly, violent crime. if you look at inflation. it's costing you much more to go to the gas. we were saying if you fill up your gas tank and put 20 gallons in your tank, it's going to cost you $20 more. it's insane. you get your paycheck. and they're taking more out now and everything you want to bill. the gasoline you have to buy. the bread you have to buy. the eggs you have to buy to feed your family, that's coasting you more. so you have less money in your bank account. steve: every time you go to the gas station, the gas is $1 more per gallon than it was last year. and when you look at, you know,
4:14 am
and these are things we have been talking about. the reason inflation is so high right now is because of supply and demand. because of covid and other things. people are buying stuff. whatever is available it seems like people are buying it as soon as they can. but, also, the government has flooded the economy with some dollars, that's why we are at a jimmy carter era high when it comes to inflation. but then you go down the list. and you look at, you know, immigration is there. on that list. and so is crime. there is i have lent crime. number three right there. 81%. let me show you an image from yesterday on the streets of new york city. this is broad daylight. 145 in the after. we are on 6th avenue but over at 7th avenue near 148th street that gunman is opening fire in broad daylight. obviously chasing that person down. a little unusual that they are wearing a ski mask. a lot of people are wearing
4:15 am
masks these days. but the heat index yesterday in new york city was about 105 degrees. that is just crazy. that just goes to show you how the streets of new york city, america's biggest city are like a wild west. brian: a difference a year makes. last year it was the cops that were the problem. so they resigned. they receded and said oka okay,e streets are yours. now you see the reaction. lori lightfoot putting more money into it cops beginning to speak up and speak out. others are putting down the badges. and they realize if you don't like, perhaps, some tactics and the individual officer, that's the issue. but i keep thinking of almost one week ago when cori bush let everyone know that they still believed that the defunding the police is the way to go. reverend eugene rivers who came on our show last week. ainsley: so powerful. we loved him. brian: lawrence jones went down to visit him and spend a day with him to find out how he was working to reduce crime and how he believes you have to work
4:16 am
with police. he is on the street. listen. >> crime has been going down steadily, one, secondly, even when there is an uptick, the faith communities and the cops get together. so it doesn't become black lives matter, anti-cop, defund the police, none of that. ainsley: is he a pentecostal preacher. he started the seymour institute. he was on our show. he was so powerful afterwards we said we have got to talk to lawrence and he has got to go to boston and meet with him and see how he is cleaning up boston. he works with the gangs and he works with the police department and he works with the faith community. trying to form a coalition so that they could all figure out what the problems are and fix the problems. steve: absolutely. he has got a program that has been proven to work in those neighborhoods of boston. and if the federal government was smart, they would talk to that man about what he is doing on that street in that neighborhood in that town and that could actually impact people all across the country.
4:17 am
you have got to worry if somebody like that were in new york city, would we have seen that guy yesterday at 1:45 in the afternoon with a handgun hunting down that person? it just -- jaw dropping. ainsley: the faith community has to step up. i know there are major, big preachers trying to do that same thing. that's been effective. i wish all churches would come together. there are some preachers where they say let's switch congregation in different communities. let the black churches visit the white churches, white churches visit the black churches, switch communities so we understand each other's problems and issues and share the love of christ. brian: keep in mind the prosecutor are letting people out. the prisons are being emptied. the cops have their hands tied. and we're saying good luck, america. nobody wants this. and we certainly don't want this result. no person is born a criminal they need hope, they need attention. the last thing you need is to tell cops to go away. they are needed more than ever. i hope america sobered up.

day three times. it's a big, big problem. this is happening both in illegal growths but also in legal ones. of course the legal players as i lay out in my book smoke greene screen they don't follow the rules most of the time. it's a huge problem. >> they are making a lot of money. 80% is cultivated indoors and they use the sophisticated lighting. look at some of these stacks, the cannabis use 40% more energy than other greens compared to growing lettuce. marijuana industry estimated for more than 1% of the country's electricity consumption and the average indoor grow operation consumes more power than 14 typical homes. so carbon emissions we hear all these democrats talking about carbon emissions, what is their response to this? >> well, and concerned about carbon emissions, i think this is an issue that's been under the radar. i applaud politico for highlighting it. we have seen this highlighted by other places as well. brookings excellent work been doing excellent work on the environmental costs. this is huge environmental costs
4:27 am
in other countries as well. canada which legalized marijuana federally one of the only countries in the world to do it. seeing huge environmental impact. mexico which may go forward with legalization is going to be a disaster because in mexico the legal companies non-marijuana legal companies deplete water so imagine what the marijuana city will do. this is a huge problem. listen, today's marijuana is being grown in such a way to extremely increase the thc which makes you high. that's why today's pot is not your woodstock weed. that's why we are saying mental health impacts psychosis. schizophrenia. 8 point loss of iq if you are a regular user. 8 points. 8 points is enough to make from you an average student to a below average student. it's a huge issue. they are artificially increasing that high of thc. that's why we are seeing these extreme. ainsley: it's always great to talk to you. happy friday. >> you, too ainsley. ainsley: straight ahead they claimed the border was closed.

ashley: pack with headlines, start with fox weather. more than 700,000 michigan residents are without power it comes after several powerful storms. it's the biggest outage in years. and crews are working 16-hour shifts to restore power. thunderstorms causing massive flooding throughout the midwest. some sections of a michigan highway are shut down. and in new york, six people are put in the hospital after a lightning strike at orchard beach in the bronx. the teenager was seriously hurt. the five other victims are expected to survive. and then take a look at this. two women got into a ufc style brawl at a braves game in atlanta. they traded blows as other fans tried to separate them. the video shared online ends with one of the two being arrested. it is up clear what started that fight. and those are your headlines, back to you guys. steve: all right. ashley, thank you. the biden administration vowed the border was closed. how many times have we heard that? a growing number of illegal crossings forcing them to walk
4:33 am
back that statement about the border being closed. we know that's not true. ainsley: in an about face, dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas border patrol encountered more than 12,000 migrants in the month of july alone. and now secretary alejandro mayorkas is finally admitting how serious this crisis has become. >> the situation at the border is one of the toughest challenges we face it is complicated, changing and involves vulnerable people at a time of a global pandemic. brain britain yep, and you caused it all yourself. our next guest so fed up with biden's border policies he quit. joining us the former ice field director for buffalo thomas, what brought you to that point? your thoughts about his remarks yesterday? >> good morning, guys, start off for a class for the secretary to go down to the border and admit all those failures with thois those numbers it always amazes me when officials go down there
4:34 am
for no other reason photo op. rolled up all these huge numbers showing that the biden administration is failing to protect our border. and tried to make it sound like a good thing. it's absolutely disgusting. steve: especially, you know, given those numbers, tom, and it's during a global pandemic. the president himself was briefed a week ago yesterday and told that about one in five of the people that they are testing test positive for covid. but they only test somebody if they have got symptoms. 90% of them they tonight even test. >> right. and you know, so only americans are supposed to wear masks and get vaccinated apparently. again, it's appalling. brian: and cirpts. >> right, right? my kids are not happy about wearing a mask again in september at all but yet here we have an open border, illegal aliens are pouring over. not only are they covid positive but other diseases as well. and then as you guyed reported yesterday, i believe in laredo they admitted they are even going to stop testing covid
4:35 am
people because if they're positive they have got to provide them care. so import them into the interior of the united states and hope somebody else will take care of them. ainsley: glad you brought that up. the mayor said this. the reason why we don't do testing once you test there is an obligation. if they are positive we are told that you have to quarantine. we don't have the infrastructure for that. >> they ran out of places. >> we would rather not know. >> now he is having to bus them to houston and dallas and to other parts of texas. >> other thing going on right now the hardworking men and women are being detailed to the southern border to help out cbp and border patrol processing which means there is absolutely nobody doing interior enforcement in the united states right thought. not only are we bringing all these people into the country deep into the interior of the united states. now there is nobody to enforce the law there. ainsley: the president criticizes texas. i'm sorry, brain i know it was
4:36 am
your turn. the president criticizes texas for all the covid numbers and yet we see all these illegal immigrants being shifted around and they may or may not have covid. some of them do we know. >> you can't make it up, sorry. you absolutely can't. it's absolutely amazing. i really think americans need to get back to being americans and not republicans and not -- all of this is going to get killed or each worse some day. who knows. brian: ice has been totally stripped of its power. living criminals to run rampant. where did you have the enough that you said i quit? what was the breaking point for you. >> the breaking point is if you are a true leader, you cannot look at the men and women that work for you and look them in the eye in lie to them. i'm not wired that way. i'm a marine. blue collar family kid from new york. i have lived all over the country with ice. it's just not -- you know, i'm not going to do that and i know a lot of my peers are stuck right now because they can't retire. the field office director 24 of them in the united states.
4:37 am
they are absolutely getting no support from ice leadership right now. i don't want to be part of that life is too short. stick up for the men and women and do the right thing. i'm sure you guys are the same way. if you have didn't believe in what you were doing you wouldn't be doing it. steve: there you go. thank you for joining us and telling us your story and thanks for your service to america. >> thanks have a great weekend. brian: yep. we will have you back. >> steve: moving on on this friday. remember that loudoun county teacher who quit tuesday night in front of the school board in well, now she tells fox news she has no regrets.

home run by tim anderson and stunning fireworks display as the white sox beat the yankees 9-8. >> after the yankees had a tremendous comeback. here to react "fox & friends weekend" co-host quill kaine and rachel campos-duffy. will you doubled the ratings single-handedly with all the features you did. did it live up to the hype? will: i think. so i definitely think. so from beginning to end it was cinematic with kevin costner coming out of the cornfield to the walk off home runs. 17 scored off home runs. balls were fly into the corn all night long. it was simply beautiful. there is something to be said about a sporting event held in a beautiful location. did you watch tiger filimon tanna. montana might have been the star in that golf outing and iowa was the star of this baseball game. kevin costner said something really fascinating i thought. he said this isn't a gimmick game this feels like the beginning of a tradition.
4:44 am
i definitely think this should be a baseball tradition. ainsley: are there more balls in the cornfield or corn? will: more corn, ainsley. ainsley: more corns? will: those fields are massive. that's no hollywood stage. that's a real cornfield used for feed corn for cattle andnd beau. steve: rachel, how beautiful is kevin costner? rachel: well, i was just going to say for sure. when i see kevin costner i think of yellow stone. when i think of yellow stone, i think. ainsley: real men. rachel: will cain worked on a ranch as well. hoe how similar is yellow stone to your experience as a rancher? will: do you know what, rachel? i would say it's as close to a documentary as you can get. there is a murder every 30 minutes in real life in montana. there is a massive massive soap opera to keep up with. real twists and life of montanan it's just dramatic.
4:45 am
steve: it is a tv show. let's put it that way. you know, both of you, and rachel, start with you. i'm sure you saw tuesday night the loudoun county school teacher by the name of laura morris she had it up to here, she decided to quit. but not just hand in a piece of paper. she did it in front of the school board. last night she went on and went in front of america on the tucker show and had this to say about the decision to say i have had it up to here. goodbye, everybody. watch. >> i just knew all that i was leaving behind the sacrifice in that decision was great for me. when people do something bold, when people put action to their words, actions speak louder than words and that seems to be captivating people. >> exactly right. >> i'm excited to see what other actions people might be taking. steve: rachel, she had it up to there. she called it quits. she is a big story. we wound up if she would wind up getting a job. apparently already offered a job by a private christian school.
4:46 am
rachel: i heard she has been getting offers from all over the country should. just exciting to hate their country. it's a very evil and destructive ideology. and the good news for parents and students out there is that right now there are several answers. one because people like her are bringing attention to it with such a dramatic, you know, quitting of her job. and it is the education dollars must be attached to the student. and we are seeing in tennessee, in arizona, in florida, we are seeing that this is beginning to happen. and this is going to be a nightmare for the unions. this is what they don't want to have happen. if the money is attached to the child, the parent has more
4:47 am
control. because if you polled parents i guarantee you they don't want crt. they want reading, math, science. that's what he this want in the classroom. and this is a waste of time and it's destructive and as i said, i think it's evil. steve: rachel, you are absolutely right. this should start the dialogue about ivanka trumps in this country where you pay the taxes, it should follow. if you want to send your kid to a private school have the money go there. you know, between crt, will, and masking, a lot of people have had it up to here with the school. will: no doubt. i will tell you what stand out to me is the point made in the . that is actions speak louder than words. look, i'm here to tell you i'm a hypocrite just like everyone else. i order from amazon. i buy nikeys from time to time. my children play sports. i perpetuate. i patronize businesses that take not just political positions i disagree with, but in a lot of ways tell me they hate me and my
4:48 am
ideas. and it's hard. it's hard for all of us. i know everyone watching it's hard to live a pure life or a life that tells you that you are patronizing the causes you believe in deeply. when someone does it like this teacher, whether she allows her own sacrifice or her own actions to lead the way. we really need to point it out and do our best to live that life as well. brian: who is come up, rachel? >> so we are going to have dwayne the dog chapman. we are also going to have bill bennett, ben domenech, morgan ortagus. kayleigh mcenany, vivek ramaswamy. it's going to be an awesome weekend. i hope everyone will come in and catch it with will and i. he pete going to be with us this weekend, will? will: i think he is off this weekend. otherwise, i would think he would be here. rachel: we are going to have lawrence. ainsley: lawrence is going to be on this weekend.

5:02 am
these types of events. they were walking out from the corn at the very beginning. brian: just like the movie. ainsley: they had the flyover with the flights, it was just look at that. kevin costner was there. brian: he did the voiceover in the beginning walked through there and was able to introduce the game. i thought it was also interesting too the actual game. you got the first place white sox and the surging yankees and the yankees trailing big time back to back two-run homers and in the same inning, they take the lead and then the white sox take it back and take the game. steve: sure and all the players walked out of the corn just like in the movie. you know, one of the big winners last night, the state of iowa. i mean, iowa looks fantastic and the people had a great time, and you know what? i had a flashback. i was in about the fourth inning when i realized wait a minute. why does that look so familiar? and it's because when i was in high school, i played american legion baseball in the middle of a corn field. ainsley: did you really? steve: i never hit a home run. it was a flashback, it was great
5:03 am
ainsley: what position did you play? steve: i played center field, played left field, played third base. ainsley: okay. when you play a sport, and then you watch it it's even that much more interesting because you know the rules and you know how to keep score. when i watch football i'm really there for the fun and really there for the tailgating. steve: the commercials. ainsley: part of the crowd but when i watch baseball since i played softball growing up, i actually really love it and i understand it. steve: yeah. and it's all about playing catch with your kid, which, you know, we'd love to do that our whole lives but then life goes on. anyway, thanks very much for joining us this is hour three of "fox & friends" for our friday. ainsley: that's right, 8:03 it is a friday, we're happy but let's turn to this a fox news alert just moments ago the taliban seizing another afghan capitol city. brian: the militant group swept the country south and afghanistan's capitol of kabul it could be next, they say within 30 days tops. steve: jacqui heinrich joins us live from the white house as not
5:04 am
only the u.s. but canada and britain send their troops to afghanistan, it's time to get people out, jackie, because it's too dangerous. reporter: good morning, to you guys. yes that's right the u.s. brings 3,000 additional troops to kabul to aid in the evacuation of americans and also embassy staff , diplomats is a signal to many of the president's critics especially that there is deteriorating confidence in the afghan government's ability to hold off a surge from the taliban. there are also reports that american negotiators are trying to get assurances from the taliban that they will not attack the embassy, the american embassy if they overrun the capitol. to the president's critics this is beginning to look a whole lot like the u.s. withdrawal from saigon at the end of the vietnam war. this is something that the president was asked about in early july and he said no chance it comes to that. listen. >> there's going to be no circumstance you're going to see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy of the
5:05 am
united states from afghanistan. it is not at all comparable. but the likelihood there's going to be the taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. reporter: the state department and pentagon have tried to quell concerns by saying this is not a wholesale withdrawal from the country. it's just a reduction in the size of our civilian footprint, but critics of the president say he needs to admit this was a mistake and reverse course, congressional republicans who have been against this decision from the beginning include senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. he said afghanistan is going toward a massive predictable and preventable disaster. president biden should immediately commit to providing more support to afghan forces and without it al qaeda and the taliban may celebrate the 20th anniversary of the september 11 attacks by burning down our embassy in kabul. now, the taliban as of this morning as of just a few moments ago breaking news alert from the associated press saying the taliban has taken 18 of the
5:06 am
34 provincial capitols at 7:00 this morning, eastern time when we spoke to you just an hour ago the official number was 14. so you can see that things are really progressing swiftly. steve, ainsley and brian? brian: yup, didn't have to be this way, jackie thanks so much. the president is on vacation hope he's having a great time. geraldo rivera joins us now fox news correspondent at large. geraldo one of the worst exits you can imagine something you can remember from vietnam, saigon? geraldo: let me give a more recent memory, if i may, brian. i was in the column that entered the northern afghan city and liberated it from the taliban in november of 2001, so in the 20 years since, what we've witnessed is just a waste of trillions of american dollars and thousands of american lives. its just been horrifying to
5:07 am
watch kandahar fall, helmet province where i was with the marines. it is devastating, it's a blow maybe we saw coming, i would argue this is more humiliating than saigon. nixon and kissinger contrived a decent interval between our withdrawal in 1973 and the fall of saigon in 1975. that was two years. here, you've had -- brian: two months. geraldo: it is shocking, it's deeply troubling and it causes all kinds of bitter feelings in the hearts and minds of the people who saw it happen unfolding. steve: and we're showing the , i think one of the last choppers out of saigon is all those people are trying to get the heck out before saigon falls. you know, geraldo regarding afghanistan your heart just breaks for the gold star families you were talking about all of the americans who lost their lives over there and they gave their lives so that the trouble over there never
5:08 am
comes over here, and you know, its been 20 years, and it has been effective. brian: what has been? geraldo: i think, steve, the problem has been that the motive went beyond ensuring that afghanistan would not be a base for a group a terror group like al qaeda to attack the united states. i think we went way beyond that. if we had stuck with that mission that you described i think that we would still be there and humming along and keeping the terrorist group suppressed, but we went beyond that and we tried to makeup afghanistan france. brian: i don't think we did. we didn't try to make it france. how did we try to make it france geraldo: i don't know why you say that, brian. i think we tried very much to nation build in afghanistan. we tried to change the rules on the ground and entrenched rigid theocracy and we tried to make it inclusive plurality

democracy, where women could go to school and work and have the freedoms they do in the west brian: well that difference from france. geraldo: we stayed too long. we stayed too long. brian: but the thing is the way we left is so criminal, the way irresponsible to leave and just say goodbye, while our troops are getting out instead of september 11 which is horrific as a day to pick. they make it august 30, we're even ahead of schedule and he won't even convene the president of the united states with his joint chiefs of staff to come up with a strategy as a clear crisis is taking place, as we scramble to get 4,000 americans out of a country that we were just supporting for the last 20 years. geraldo: i think the anger that you are expressing is shared by millions of americans. we are dismayed by defeat. this is a defeat, make no mistake about it.
5:10 am
hold on a second, if you think that the 2,500 troops that we had in afghanistan were what was keeping the taliban suppressed, then you don't know them. they knew they were going to stab us in the back the minute they had the opportunity. that's what they've done. brian: but geraldo they were at bay. air cover, the 2,500 troops we had a support mission since 2014 , and that -- geraldo: i don't know what you're talking about, brian. brian: we left them. geraldo: we didn't have air cover. we could have bombed these taliban columns. we could have bombed them. we chose not to. brian: exactly. we left all our equipment and we basically gave it to the taliban totally irresponsible. geraldo: well it is the bitterness, it is the bitterness of defeat. this is what defeat looks like. ainsley: geraldo instead of looking back --
5:11 am
geraldo: one last point once we killed osama bin laden our mission was over, that was 2011, 10 years ago this is 10 years too late and the humiliating -- brian: that we chose. geraldo: the way this is happening is just bitterness. we're following in the footsteps of the soviets and the british and alexander the great. who wants afghanistan? ainsley: what does this mean for the united states? people are waking up they know they can't change biden's mind, what's done is done. agree with it or disagree with it what does this mean for the future of our country. how is this going to affect us? geraldo: well, as long as you say, ainsley that's a great question. as long as we stick to the mission. we got hit by al qaeda. al qaeda took down the towers, hit pentagon, put that plane down in the pennsylvania field, we knew who the enemy was. it was those islamic fanatic extremists let by osama bin laden. that was the enemy and then when we went after al qaeda we decided to go after the taliban, we decided to remake afghanistan
5:12 am
we changed the mission. we changed the mission. we got the people that got us and i think that message, ainsley, to answer your question , must resonate throughout this planet. if you hit the united states, we're going to hit you back. that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to come to the country and try to change it and make it a democracy when it's a theocracy. brian: clearly, the isis and al qaeda is there again, if we had left right away they would have come right back and staged another attack, so, i don't want to go over 20 years of fighting, but no one can say this dis mountained this discharge has been well thought out. it was haphazard and it shows a president that could care less and a general and a general in general austin that rather just go along even though they knew this be a disaster and admiral kirby knows better too these are military member that spent their lives in the military and they knew exactly this result and they just wanted to keep their jobs.
5:13 am
geraldo: we gave them an army of 300,000 strong with the most modern equipment. brian: they weren't ready and we knew it. geraldo: the afghan army just chickened out. the first chance they got. brian: because they didn't have leaders. as soon as we left -- geraldo: they didn't even defend kandahar. ainsley: guys! brian: they didn't have the captains and lieutenants i get it. geraldo: well after 20 years they wouldn't have had it after 200 years. it was 20 year, brian. longest war in history. brian: but we weren't in a hot war. steve: all right, guys, let's talk a little bit about something that geraldo has been active in over on fox nation, geraldo you were featured in the new series jfk, the conspiracy continues. i think what conspiracy is that? is it beyond lee harvey oswald? geraldo: i think i'd be giving
5:14 am
away the ending of the special if i revealed that. let me just say that when i first broadcast the home movie of the assassination of john f. kennedy, the young and gracious 35th president of the united states, the home movie of the assassination seems to indicate that it was more than one shooter, that lee harvey osw ald alone could not have done the criminal act, the murder that we see unfolding in that home movie; however, after really, an investigation that was unprecedented in its scope, in its depth, the warrant commission investigation, it seems implausible that it was a conspiracy. it seems that the evidence indicates and does support the fact that lee harvey oswald and he, alone, this communist acting with a sniper rifle from
5:15 am
the sixth floor of the book depository in dallas did manage to snuff out this wonderful optimistic visionary president who was taking america to a whole new chapter. lee march very oswald stopped that. it's the power, the brutal awful power of assassination, how assassinations remake history, and in this case, what did it ha rbinger? it was the beginning of a tremendous period of racial unrest, tumult, the president's brother was assassinated five years later, martin luther king also in 1968, the anti-war movement and the civil rights movement kind of collided and crystallized. it was a period of great turmoil and it's all expressed in the fox news, fox nation special that you mentioned. ainsley: there's certain moments in history where people say i remember where i was when this
5:16 am
happened and my mom and dad always said that. steve: i was in kindergarten. ainsley: so many moments. steve: geraldo thank you very much have a great weekend. geraldo: thank you. ainsley: okay, ashley is there with headlines for us. reporter: hey guys let's ghetto this one, police in new york city releasing this shocking video, it shows that gunman opening fire on a street in broad daylight while another man can be seen darting into on coming traffic to avoid the bullets this incident happened on august 1 in harlem. police say the shooter took off on a scooter and then remains at large. thankfully no one got hurt and eelier look at the capitol, capitol hill, as a potential stalemate is brewing, nine moderate house democrats say they will not vote for the budget resolution, this threatens their party's two -track plan to pass both a

5:23 am
forceful and appropriate response. brian: admiral kirby yesterday as he announced we're putting 3,000 troops into afghanistan not to win back and preserve kabul but to get our people out saying we lost, retired four star general jack keane. general you've been warning about this moment. you can't say it's unexpected. why did this happen? >> yeah, it's a sad frustrating moment to watch an ill-conceived and i emphasize ill-conceived hasty withdrawal turn into what is now an embarrassing retreat, and why is that? well, look. the ig from the pentagon just reported out the taliban offensive began in may of this year, a month after president biden made the announcement that we will pull all u.s. troops out by 31 august. the taliban knew full well that the united states in that short a period of time had to close
5:24 am
seven military bases, that the focus of the u.s. leadership and its troops be on just that. no time and no resources to help the afghan security forces during a major taliban offensive , and by that, i mean, sustained decisive air support, which they always had in the past, to stop normal taliban offenses that occur in that period of time. warfare in afghanistan is seasonal. it starts in the spring and it ends in the fall and the taliban pack up their bags and go to pakistan during the winter, so why are we doing a withdrawal right in the middle of the fighting season? in the heart of it? the withdrawal should have been done during what? the winter and we should have extended our withdrawal out until sometime next year, to get all of that done and make certain that as the taliban offensive came this year, we were able to provide the resources to counter that
5:25 am
offensive. secondly, we would have had more time to coordinate basing strategy outside afghanistan to be able to sustain this air support once our troops are pulled out of afghanistan, and also, there's a huge issues with the afghan government in providing contract support and other things that they vitally needed that the president the reason he came to washington was to beg for some of this support. all of that should have been part of the detailed deliberate withdrawal plan that made some sense and there will be no thought of an embarrassing retreat which is certainly on the horizon and that's why we're now appropriately sending these forces in there to make certain that the something like that does not happen. brian: general but they aren't there to protect and help the afghan government. they are there to get our people out and now we have a statement asking the taliban not to attack our embassy. wow. we're asking the taliban not to attack our embassy?
5:26 am
with a handful of people we blew them out as a sitting government now we have to ask them to be nice as they steamroll our country? burn women alive, murder people in cold blood, and make their way towards the capitol. that's what its come down to. >> yeah, this taliban is absolutely infuriating. the chief political negotiator in doha, and we're with our u.s. government officials pleading with them not to attack us. what we should do is put a finger in his chest, and tell him in no uncertain terms, if you harmony americans during this withdrawal, we will come for you and kill thousands of your people. you will beg us to stop. that's the kind of talk these guys deserve to get from us. their barbaric, and they are a killing machine, and we'll see that in slow motion all the way to kabul and it will be horrific, and the consequences
5:27 am
geopolitically are very significant. we discussed before china, russia, iran are the beneficiar ies here and what are our allies thinking as they're watching this embarrassing retreat taking place about america's resolve and also, america's role as a global leader. the biden administration is advertising that fact, that we're back as a global leader. well is this how our global leader acts responsibly? it's how we retreat an allie we've been fighting with for 20 years? i seriously doubt that and remember, the european countries in afghanistan with us wanted to stay. i want to relitigate whether we should stay or go but keep that in the back of your mind as we're assessing what the we're doing here. brian: you're available, general milli knows better, general austin knows better admiral kirby knows better but they watched and i look at them as culpable in the whole thing,
5:28 am
they should have had the courage to do the same thing, embarrassing to the country, general jack keane thanks so much. >> yeah, good talking to you, brian have a good weekend. brian: wish it was better news up next, boston is setting a new standard for fighting crime. lawrence jones saw firsthand how the police and community are coming together to respond.
