possible and people have the information they need to make the best decisions for themselves. >> we have team coverage on this developing story. president spending the delaware strip. we begin live where many evacuations are heading next afternoon from a concept to get this done safely but the reality on the ground for so many afghans has been so difficult and dangerous. we saw earlier today chaos again erupting outside of the airport in kabul. video shared by people on the ground showing complete devastation and a number of injuries including two children. the americans are there still from a face-to-face with the taliban and what's become really a front line, taliban feeding people trying to get to the airport and flee the country

while the americans are free to everyone for can over the wall and into safe territory. we spoke with evacuees here and they said what we see at the airport today my only get worse because they believe that how event is being restrained while international focus is on afghanistan. listen to what the number of university students had to tell fox news earlier today. >> who knows what's going to happen, right off the taliban is trying to show a good picture but we know outside the media, there are other things going on. [inaudible] went desperate to get out. reporter: i asked the girls what's next for them and they said they did not know.

one thing they do know, they are safe there for the time being. benjamin. benjamin: despite what we are hearing from the white house, you know the things are getting worse, not better. thank you. >> president biden canceled his weekend trip to wilmington, delaware as he faces criticism over chaotic exit from afghanistan. as our departure draws comparison to the fall of saigon, vice president harris is flying to vietnam. jackie heinrich is live at the white house. reporter: hey, there. president canceled his trip to wilmington, supposed to leave shortly after his meeting with national security team this morning. we do not expect to hear from the president today for the white house did release a new statement amid reports of a possible islamic state threat for the u.s. military forcing the military to find other areas

to get americans and allied refugees to the air force. fox news confirmed the reports a couple of hours ago and the white house said the president and vice president en route to singapore met with national security team by your conference and discussed security situations and afghanistan and counterterrorism operations including ice to discuss logistical operations to evacuate american citizens and their families, applicants and their families and vulnerable afghans both on u.s. military aircraft as well as charters and coalition flights. the officials that the team has continued to work on aggressive efforts to finalize agreement with third-party countries to start a transit hub for the evacuation efforts. last we heard from our president, he extended commitments to evacuate americans to afghan refugees and allies but it's unclear by when he attends to do that and what involved the crew.

allied nations are scrambling to meet deadlines set by the u.s. and the president district missed the notion the country's credibility is being challenged on the world stage. >> i've seen no question of credibility from our allies around the world. i spoke with nato allies, the batches i've not seen that. the exact opposite, i got the exact opposite for acting, committing to what we said we would. reporter: the president said all nato allies agreed with his decision to withdraw from afghanistan but there are only now talking about how to cooperatively handle the fallout and there is a g7 president with the president next week. >> thank you, jacqui heinrich. >> u.s. a lot of afghanistan, pakistan, russia and china are set to fill the void, russian

ambassador putting the afghan government for the taliban the best possible light saying the mood and problem can be described as one of hope, a bad regime that disappeared, people are hopeful and say it can't be worse so it should be better, this is another test on the taliban's part. let's bring in jim, national security expert thank you for joining us today with all your expertise. a focus on the chaos around the airport getting people out, there's a figure risk here pakistan, russia and china lining advantage of his brief the a ministration giving up in this rapid withdrawal. >> .me say what my biases, i agreed with former president trump the u.s. should have gone out of afghanistan a long time ago so it's a messy situation. it's easy to get into wars, it's hard to get out so i am not

surprised that things are difficult and those people feel threatened but that doesn't mean it's a good thing to say. i think it shows it happened so quickly, it shows after 20 years and $120, another 20 years and $120 wouldn't do the trick such as a present opportunities for the regional players? yes, you're right, it also present dangerous so i know a lot of chinese and russians were applauding and marking the u.s. for leaving but you don't see them sending in troops and behind closed doors, they are worried they are going to be now stuck dealing with the problem the u.s. was dealing with for a long time so there are opportunities for the taliban doesn't love the russians, they fought a long war and beat the russians in afghanistan, many, many years ago so i think there's a lot of open questions here about what's going to happen but most of the effects will be regional, it will over to the u.s. or probably

internationally for the most part, counterterrorism is a concern but generally limited to the region once you name will have to deal with it. >> president biden has said afghanistan helps the u.s. pivot toward a threat from china, giving up seven in afghanistan which is strategically located, could not be considered arab? >> i don't think so, i'm on the record, i'm have been in favor of getting out for a long time, we lost a lot of american lives, a lot of americans were injured. what we get in return? not much. i don't see is. the main.is counterterrorism because obviously afghanistan hosted al qaeda and al qaeda attacked the u.s. homeland but other than that, it's hard for me to see why the u.s. should have men and women dying in afghanistan when the regional people deal with regional

problems. i don't see -- who wants to go she afghanistan flesh out the strategic importance. other places, yes. china, yes. east asia, yes. our own border and our own freedom but afghanistan? i just don't think so. benjamin: let me play you a soundbite from phil hagerty, i look at your thoughts after that. >> we need to know inventory is with weapons on the ground or the equipment they could use the help of the chinese, russians, pakistanis and iranians, we can need to understand the threat and also what is our plan either retrieve the apartment there now and destroy it. benjamin: speaking to what you set the way it was done present error, july it was done left a lot of weaponry there for russia to get their hands on, can you speak to that? >> i cast my main concern would be the people like the telegram

russians have their own apartment in the chinese have their own equipment, it's not like we had advanced systems deployed there but i agreed with them, we should try to keep them accounted for what was lost and try to recover it but want to let go of the weapons, they are super hard to get back i think most of them are going to be small arms, transport vehicles and things like that and unfortunately the telegram is the one who entered the gifts but it's easy to get in war, hard to get out and when you get up unfortunately, that happens quite a bit. >> what about the argument allies going to u.s. allies like taiwan and ukraine in the west, are they going to be secure today? >> i think you asked the right way, different allies will have different feelings. in europe and nato, they knew it wasn't working well, they were a long time and they suffer, to in their main concern is russia so they are probably happy the u.s.

is point out so they can refocus on china and russia but ukraine and taiwan of course, they are nervous countries for good reason, they both have powers that oppose and promote china and russia and anything that happens makes the allies service but at the end of the day if the u.s. ten years from now, are they going to be stronger or weaker from having left? i think if we spend another decade and another $20, we beat weaker allies should like the fact that we are making hard decisions. as president trump suggested we are going to get our house in order so we can focus on the real problem. benjamin: thank you for joining us today in reminding us of the big picture. thank you, sir. we expect to hear more tomorrow on fox news sunday with chris wallace speak with antony blinken and the tough questions, 2:00 p.m. eastern here on the fox news channel.

stance from another conference today in manhattan we love nyc homecoming concert begins within this hour at central park, everyone must show proof of vaccination. we can hear soundtracks taking place behind us but as you can see the weather here has been changing in new york city, we should see when speeds of 30 to 40 miles an hour, that could be much higher in long island with projected when speeds of up to 85 miles an hour. >> okay, alex hogan, thank you. benjamin. benjamin: storm warnings are now in effect for new jersey, massachusetts. go to fox by the radiologist, adam. the latest? >> the storm you're talking about is still sitting off the coast of north carolina, about 200 miles off the coast, winds at 75 miles an hour we're going to continue to eventually its way up the coast, approaching

some areas we were talking about likely getting up to a category one hurricane as it makes a move toward long island, you can see the timestamp there. this is early sunday morning, i think a landfall is closer "midday" from a category one or perhaps a strong tropical storm that's likely to change the potential damage here. here are forecast models you see most of them running into long island, a handful drifting further up to the east getting more into southern new england, something else we could be watching for but no surprise here the entire area with the models, everything in red, those are hurricane warnings currently in place and everything in yellow, tropical storm warnings in place which mean tropical storm like conditions and one condition would be wind, a large scalable initially it's very wide, the storm will shrink so went will be an issue, all the

wind will bring water into the area three to 5 feet of storm surge, could be the high end and additionally, as you go into see rain for the storm is onshore, perhaps in the hudson valley state engines, isolated areas, this will be tomorrow we will be watching. benjamin: thank you, adam, thanks very much. >> we have breaking news, fox news learned the state department has been hit by a cyber attack we are going to go back to jackie hi mark live at the white house with the latest. reporter: as you mentioned, the state department has been hit by a cyber attack. notifications of a possible serious breach were made from the department of defense cyber command. it's unclear when the breach was discovered products believed to have happened a couple of weeks ago. a source familiar is telling me the ongoing mission by the state

department to evacuate americans and afghan allies in afghanistan have not been effective. the extent of the breach investigation into who might be behind it, any effort taking to mitigate it and any ongoing risks to potential operations is pretty unclear at this time. state department officials gave a generic statement that says the department takes seriously response about us that states are the information and continuously taking steps to ensure information protected for security reasons not in a position to discuss the nature or scope of any alleged cybersecurity incidents at this time. the state department was breached as part of the solar wind by russia so yet another event impacted them, we are awaiting more detail on this breaking news. >> thank you, we will continue to check back with you as things develop.

taliban islamic state, complicating to evacuate americans and other allies from afghanistan, veterans and military all carry into present biden's advisors over the growing crisis. general john in afghanistan yesterday on america's news. >> we that's been filled with phone calls from foreign service members many contacts from people in afghanistan i worked for, ten tours there almost six years in total so you can imagine the unmitigated disaster we've seen on the ground, how worried people are and how concerned they are about their safety, the safety of the families, this is unprecedented. i went in 2001 and served nine more tours after that, last 72 service members, i think about

their legacy and their sacrifice and their families and the way this has been handled from this lack of ineffective leadership pork demonstration policy and strategy which was really put in place in 2014 when president obama changed the strategy best that was working from we had a couple more years we could probably have turned over to him but we abandoned it in this hit up and the same people that made the decisions are in the white house and senior places in the government making these decisions so i could have given this mission to lieutenant, given him my intent they would have come up with a much better plan than we see coming out of our senior military folks in the pentagon and our president and his staff, it's terrible spew off the pentagon launched a rescue mission to extract hundred and 60 americans outside

the workforce using three military trucks you've been very honest about the fact that we are fighting against both time and space. that's the race we are in right now and we are trying to do this as quickly and safely as possible. >> pentagon facing mounting pressure to do more to help evacuate americans and other allies stuck in afghanistan. the u.s. has close to 6000 troops on the ground and evacuated about 17000 people since august 14. let's bring in retired lieutenant colonel daniel davis deployed to afghanistan twice. thank you for being here and thank you for your service. i want to begin by asking you, and your experience watching everything playing out, what

have been the better strategy here for getting out? >> based on what i physically observed 2005, six and during the search in 2010 and 11, i can tell you unequivocally the right answer would have been similar to what was said a minute ago to withdrawal in 2014. that was the way we should have done it then but trump tried to get us out february 2020 but we did not take advantage of that even for four biden came in when he came in and set of a significant amount of ties to do this coordinated and organized ways, we got out really quick and that to everyone into confusion and undermined what was going on but it's a bigger issue, far bigger "issue is" how 20 years have passed and $120 left the afghan government and

military that they literally discredit this integrated with the least amount of taliban pressure and that's what's going on because this condition was known by members of both parties, senior military officials and faye off-white. >> and people, things were going good and well when they weren't and that needs to be explored much more than the way we are getting it up. >> as you know since 2001 there have been for u.s. presidents who have had their fingerprints on afghanistan and president biden is getting criticism from all sides but when you consider, you look back at former president george w. bush, obama and then-president trump and now we have biden, who else in the presidential timeline do you think failed to act? >> i disagree a little bit that wasn't obama in 2014, it was president bush in 2007 and that's where the failure was when he changed from military operation to nationbuilding and

providing militarily objectives, we've never had a chance to win under those conditions in fact by each president had a chance to fix that. obama had a chance, he could have gotten us out in 2014 under far better conditions were considered in 2014 the taliban had control of 7% of the district and we have the rest of it so we could have gone out then and the afghan government would have had a chance to get in order be secure for its responsible defense instead of the way it worked out where the taliban had almost everything by the time biden started we didn't hardly have a chance to get it done in order, fed us the real problem. >> as we do look to analyze exactly what happened here and what's gone wrong over the past two decades, we are still dealing with a moment to moment mission of desperation by people trying to get out u.s. military trying to stand its ground at the airport kabul and i don't believe you can see it but this

is for the psaki of our viewers, we have a photo, a map looking up above at the kabul airport and what it shows is there are gates where the u.s. military is holding its ground and then you have the entry and then the taliban checkpoints and in between them at the main entrance in the taliban, that's where a lot of the horrible photos and videos are coming up so when you keep that in mind as people try to get in, you have a u.s. embassy and state department telling americans, don't go to the airport, you have the pentagon saying we have the u.s. military ready at the gate when you get here and then we are hearing from jacqui heinrich that now americans are being contacted in small groups in the article to a separate site transferred by the military to get to the airport. that's a lot going on and none of it seems cohesive. our hearts go out to the americans, what you think they should be doing?

no one seems to be saying the same thing. >> i will tell you why we are in the position which leads to the situation, when the afghan government collapsed, they had the three largest cities about the time we were getting into the endgame, instead of fighting which would have delayed the taliban entry, all three surrendered and gave up so now biden thought they had more time, all of a sudden the telegrams were there. this reiterates the cost of these failures in life that not only the americans who have died but not all of these people, civilians and afghan and other westerners are in a horrible situation and you've got to do the best thing you can't when the situation goes to hell, at least they are doing something and i give him credit for that. >> thank you so much for your expertise and forthrightness today. benjamin: new concerns at our

were made of a possible serious breach by the department of defense cyber command. it's unclear exactly when a cyber attack was discovered but it's believed to have happened. a couple weeks ago. who was behind it, any efforts taken to mitigate and contain it and whether a possible ongoing risk to the state department operation is unclear. i've not been able to get can't keep answers to those questions from the state department, not to suggest they don't know the details but they have not readily shared them with me. a spokesperson told me in a statement kat the department takes seriously responsible these with information and continuously takes steps to ensure information is protected for security reasons not in a position to discuss the nature of or scope of any cybersecurity incident at this time. the state department part of the

former u.s. border patrol chief and retired acting director. thank you for being with us today, we heard time and time again from the fenestration the root cause of the immigration problem of the northern triangle countries and mexico, mayorkas has gone down the vice president harris, these numbers, three and ten from outside suggest the problem is far more widespread, what you make of that? >> i don't disagree with that, we have a situation in which previous to january this year we have policies in place, not perfect, not in any way of the border for policies preventing the kind of surge from all over the globe we are seeing now so those policies were in place, removed january 21 and there was a protective search that occurred on the border all through the spring and we are seeing now, it's gone unabated and as you said, is it just the

northern triangle, it's much less likely the title for the entire global, we sent out a signal that you're not interested in securing the border than we were several months ago and people have to realize when people are benefiting from this chaos at the border, are criminal organizations of every kind and every part of the world, it increases human trafficking and drug smuggling because of you have 40% of the border patrol doing something other than patrolling our border, that gives more risk than we should have. the policies were working, they were reversed without any preparation and what you get is chaos as you sent a signal across the globe to bring children to the border. >> set in the past how they were given to dhs to dismantle, can you get more specific, what's being taken away?

what will be used to have that they should have complex. >> the remain in mexico policy was an agreement struck with mexico in the early days of the trumpet fenestration, the summer of 2019, fat effectively ended the surge occurring there, for surge here now is bigger because they did away with that policy. we also had strong asylum accords with the northern triangle allowing people to get their due process in the asylum process but countries like mexico so remain in mexico and a commitment across the administration to give the tools dhs officers and agents need to help protect us. they swore an oath to uphold the law and the constitution and the american people what we are seeing on the border right now is wallace. >> how can you explain the policies working so well? 200 12,000 people, trump supported in july, the highest number in 20 years at what time

does the administration say we have to go back to what was working? >> it clearly not working and brought us not to believe what we are seeing with our own eyes, i don't know if they are going to reverse it, i don't have the imagination to explain why they did what they did knowing full well the search would occur so how do we fix it? there some states taking it on in federal court and congress needs to act and give authority for the remain in mexico program and put into legislation and their poles exploited now by criminal cartel and this policy. if congress could sure that up with legislation, obviously they're not even talking about it and you can't see the administration making any move to alleviate this. it's unfortunate for the men and women of dhs to pick up the pieces for this reckless abandonment of policies evading
