>> those who carried out this attack, no this. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down and make you pay. jillian: 13 servicemembers and dozens of american allies are dead after a deadly terror attack at the kabul airport. the explosion happening as hundreds were gathered at the gate desperately trying to flee the taliban and find a better life. carley: this marks the deadliest day for american troops in a
2:01 am
decade. forces are on high alert as you are watching "fox and friends first". carley: we have team coverage this morning, doug luzader is live with the brunt of this response but marianne referee has the latest from overseas. >> reporter: evacuations from afghanistan resuming with new urgency a day after two suicide bombings targeted thousands of people, 13 us service members were killed in the attack making it the deadliest day for us troops in 10 years. at least 18 other servicemembers were injured when the explosion occurred, they were flown out of kabul on c-17s with surgical units. the attack occurring at abby gate where people were gathering to get into the airport.
2:02 am
the second attack happening at the baron hotel. americans gathered there in the past for rescue and evacuation. and afghan translator who worked with the marine corps describes the chaos he saw outside the airport. >> and an explosion happens. she died right in my hands. i don't know what exactly -- what is going on over there. ashley: isis claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 95 afghans have left 140 injured. the bombing came hours after the state department warned americans outside the airport gates to we've immediately due to the terrorist threat. they expect further attempted attacks ahead of today's deadline. >> the threat to armed forces
2:03 am
from isis k is real. they believe it is their desire to continue the attack that we expect those attacks to assess the threat of suicide born view goals. we know isis would like to get after those aircraft if they can. they've taken the shot that aircraft on occasion. >> the us is prepared to take action against those responsible for the attack and insisting the evacuations will not be slowed by the bombing. jillian: the president vowing to hunt down the terrorists and make them pay for the kabul attack that killed 13 us service members. >> that was a continues fox team coverage with fallout of the deadly bombings. >> this reinforces the need to get out of afghanistan as soon as possible. sticking with his deadline at the end of the month which is next week. he did come out and speak several hours after this series of attacks happened in afghanistan.
2:04 am
he offered tough talk toward the terrorists. >> those who carried out this attack, no this. we will not forgive, we will not forget. we will hunt you down and make you pay. >> number of the president's critics say he shares the blame for putting us forces in harm's way with this rush to the exit in afghanistan. there's been talk about impeachment, resignation in some corners, the president suggested something yesterday that appears to be an almost certainty, that some people will be left behind in afghanistan, that is despite bipartisan calls for the president to extend this withdrawal deadline. >> there's bipartisan outcry to make sure we complete that
2:05 am
mission and we need president biden to make the decision to reverse course to complete the mission, but to think we will give our security needs to the taliban is unbelievable. >> reporter: something else that may be unbelievable was a report in politico the us has been giving the taliban list of individuals who are seeking to flee the country, it may include afghans who cooperated with the united states. the idea is because the taliban control checkpoints they would know who to let through. critics say you're giving the taliban a kill list because we know the taliban has been targeting individuals who have assisted the us over the past two decades and the president was asked about this yesterday. >> i can't tell you with any certainty that there's been a list of names. i know who they may have been but i know of no circumstance. doesn't mean it didn't exist.
2:06 am
the names of 12 people, let them through, it could have happened. >> reporter: the president meantime is going to be meeting with his national security team, what comes next in afghanistan, he is sticking with the deadline. back to you guys. jillian: picking up on what doug was saying, the us gave the taliban and the list was given in the early days of the evacuations, they are rely on the taliban to protect the americans coming through, that is dangerous. i see where they are coming from, this is our only option but that is dangerous. ashley: the president said no
2:07 am
one trusts them. we are counting on their self-interest. you had jen psaki say they are not our friends but because of coordination we've been able to evacuate people and that is necessary. in that correspondence, general mckenzie outline the threats they have been up against on the ground yesterday saying it is extremely active, threats against the airfield, very real threats ranging from rocket attacks to vehicle attacks to death wearing suicide bombings, the threat of car bombings is high and when you hear that you have to human mind servicemembers who are over there. thousands of the working tirelessly day in and day out to do everything they can to ensure the safety of americans, allies and anyone on those planes to flee that country knowing what the country look like and what it is about to look like once we exit on august 30 first. in the 4:00 hour i talked to the
2:08 am
u.s. army combat veteran and asked with the backdrop of what our troops are dealing with on the ground. what is loss of life like we saw yesterday due to them? >> we are heartbroken by the loss of any of our brothers and sisters at the same time we want to go out and make sure this doesn't occur again. the proper standoff to enable the aircraft to come out and essentially get to a safe location. this is done by americans trying to make a difference because the biden administration is incapable of doing things at this time. >> he joined us on the phone from afghanistan. he has seen firsthand everything going on across the checkpoints so he has good insight on that. >> we heard from a sound bite, rob o'neill saying they need to fight and that is what a lot of
2:09 am
military personnel whether it be current or former as well. utah to those in the military, marines, army vets, this was their bread, they want to complete the mission but retired army captain sean parnell was on primetime last night talking about the way president biden and the biden administration pulled out of afghanistan, the way they pulled out is what was such a disaster. >> when leaders of the country project weakness it emboldens our enemies. president biden is responsible for the largest foreign policy disaster in this country. president biden, this is on him. our servicemembers and our allies, is on him. one strategic blunder after the next whether it was pulling the military out of afghanistan prior to evacuating civilians are giving up bagram air force
2:10 am
base which the us military academy, the greatest strategic blunders of all time how not to conduct a withdrawal and stranding thousands of americans behind enemy lines. >> the issues we could see in the coming days, weeks or months but how this was done, the taliban or any terror group, and where does it leave the united states as far, a lot of questions still unanswered at this point. it was interesting, peter doocy did get a question, the most interesting reporter in the room. do you bear responsibility for this? president biden said i bear responsibility for fundamental -- he went on to say donald trump entered into these
2:11 am
negotiations with the taliban and. he took responsibility but it was the first time we heard him say he took responsibility. ashley: putting the blame on donald trump, it has to be okay on the ground before that would happen. an update on the american mother and government worker known as fatima trapped in afghanistan. when we spoke to her earlier this week. she is now safe and will join us live along with congresswoman karen miller who helped her escape. jillian: congressman michael walsh will be joining us live.

2:15 am
jillian: calls are mounting for president biden to step down or be impeached for his handling of the crisis in afghanistan. grant allen is also joining those calls and joined us. why do you join the call for the president to be impeached? >> today i have trouble speaking today, a mixture between anger and sadness and frustration and
2:16 am
fury of what i have seen and transferred, president biden is an incompetent leader. there is no other way of doing this. the buck stops with him. president biden has blood on his hands. i heard sean point about last night. this will go down as the biggest military blunder he himself created the largest us hockey situation in american history, they will be studying the incompetency level of these decisions operably for the rest of american history. president biden surrendered america. you hear calls of you are relying on the taliban and wonder what are we talking about? how could we get to this point, we are the united states of america. the taliban doesn't tell us what to do. we tell the taliban what to do. we have americans behind enemy
2:17 am
lines in talent been conquered afghanistan. isis k is murdering 13 servicemembers. this is 100% on president biden. yesterday he tried to show a semblance of i take fundamental responsibility but it is trump's fault because trump did this. nobody want's to hear that anymore. with all due respect, you are a coward and you are an incompetent leader and what you have done, every decision you was made has been wrong. president biden has a history of making the wrong decisions and siding with the wrong side of everything through his entire government career. i can't tell you how many hundreds or thousands of emails we have received on our end that shows that we do from servicemembers, family members, that want to take the uniform
2:18 am
off because they know that we have not a commander-in-chief, america is without a president so i joined the calls of i don't think biden should resign, i think congress should do their actual job. donald trump was impeached over a phone call. let's be honest about what happened. donald trump was impeached over a phone call but now we have legitimate blood on american hands. i think you need to impeach biden, go after harris and expel pelosi because all of them trying to destroy america so -- jillian: you are obviously very fired up. i can't pretend to understand how your any veteran who served this country feel because i have not. every emotion you have going on, i do question if the president were removed from office you have vice president kamala harris and she has been absent
2:19 am
for a lot of this, she did answer a few questions from vietnam earlier this week but skirted around answering them directly. is that a better case scenario for you? >> it is not and as americans you sit here and go how did we get to that point. that is why i am taking it further and saying congress needs to do more than president biden. the entire administration, our entire system, this is all political, they don't care about americans, they don't care about servicemembers overseas. if they did they would move mountains, and we need one singular focus was we have americans trapped and stranded in talent ban and isis controlled afghanistan. our singular focus, no deadlines, the taliban doesn't tell us what to do, we tell them
2:20 am
what to do. we don't recognize them as a legitimate regime. they are terrorist savages. our focus needs to be from a real leader of a real president that we are going to move mountains, use whatever force necessary to get our people, allies and people we made promises to home. once that job is done then congress needs to do their job and look at who was responsible, who had a hand in this which kamala harris said she had a hand in making these decisions as well. they are responsible congress needs to do something. jillian: we could talk to you all day about this. you have producers in your ear, got to go, thank you for your service and joining us with that insight. ashley: kabul airport attack

2:26 am
families who are going to be getting this goldstar. what words of comfort if any can you offer them? you have been in this position before. >> thanks so much. it is 13 families yesterday, last night, this morning, receiving a knock at the door telling them their lives are forever changed, their loved ones gave their life and service to this country. to those families i want to say thank you for your loved one service. we will never forget their ultimate sacrifice and never underestimate or questionnaire with some of our servicemembers but i think for the rest of us this is a solemn reminder there are men and women every single day but hold their right hand up knowing full well they are
2:27 am
saying they will give their lives for this country. yesterday was the deadliest attack in two decades. 13 individuals gave their life and we need to understand why that was, how that happened and what we need to do to make sure we complete the mission they were on the ground doing. jillian: travis had a close interpreter relationship, and what i read about you that made you want to reach out to interpreter. explain what happened and the gentleman you got in contact with, how that played out for him getting out of couple? kabul? >> i had a friendship with someone who worked for u.s. army contractor unit for many years
2:28 am
for our country and he was stuck in afghanistan with his family who worked to get him out. right before i got on he texted me that he is in italy. he is in italy. i have contact with him every day. we are working with him to get everything through but he is safe. last night, going on 3 hours of sleep as i helped to get an american family, all us passport holders through the gate. the family had never been called, never received any guidance by anyone, they are from philadelphia up the road from me, waiting in line to board a plane, but there is a massive disconnect from what is happening and i see that firsthand. jillian: they were never called
2:29 am
or contacted so do you think this leaves the question that there are many more people out there than being told by the us government? >> i'm not going to make that assumption but what i know is i helped two families. a green card holder and us citizens from philadelphia. they never received calls. that is my experience and the fact that i feel honored at the opportunity that i have been given in the last week to work with a lot of holders, american citizens to help them to the airport and it didn't happen. none of that happens without the marines on the ground working miracles alongside me but the fact remains we continue to say
2:30 am
we are working with everyone to get them out. that's not the reality i am seeing. if we fail them, american citizens are green card holders, those men and women who served alongside the military for 20 years if we fail to we fail as a country and should not allow that to happen. >> god bless people like you, to help these people, every person matter so thank you for being on, we appreciate it. still to come, foreign-policy and national security expert rebecca heinrich calling out the administration for being reckless and negligent, message next. br 25% of your mouth.

>> troops bracing for more isis attacks after servicemembers were killing two suicide bombings outside kabul airport. >> thousands of people have been gathering to try to leave the country, the second attack at the baron hotel. 18 servicemembers were hurt and evacuated, 95 afghans were killed and 140 injured. the bombing him just hours after the state department warned of increasing terrorist threats and told americans to leave the airport immediately. let's bring in rebecca heinrich at the hudson institute and foreign-policy expert.
2:35 am
and >> and that there is a lack of guilt but it is not. to put troops at risk and create an environment in which all of these targets are there, al qaeda and isis k and all these terrorists in the region would want to attack. the political leaders made a decision to not use bagram air base, much more fortified and safer and went with the airport and outsourcing the security of our troops and citizens to the taliban, $85 billion worth of military but within the country.
2:36 am
all of that adds up to negligence, oral planning and recklessness. it is not incompetence, that's not the right word to be used. jillian: president biden found revenge against these attacks but do you think these terror groups are taking what he said seriously given what has transpired the last couple weeks? >> not only are terrorist groups not taking them seriously, i'm not taking him seriously, i don't think any american watching that embarrassing humiliating press conference are taking him seriously because in order to do that you need to have allies and partners who understand where these groups are, they are all dispersed, there is no afghan government, no afghan army except maybe helping the united states in some capacity but the vast majority of it has dissipated because of decisions of
2:37 am
president biden. we don't have intelligence, there's no over the horizon counterterrorism plan. not only our troops in a horrible position, the situation will deteriorate, i am praying we don't have any more casualties but it will be a miracle we don't have any more attacks because so much terrorism around the region and now we have an ecosystem of terrorism in afghanistan, with our partners and allies on the ground who can help us to know where they are to keep americans at home safe. jillian: what do you make of this sharing until with the taliban and. jillian: people have to go through the checkpoint first. get ready to share information with a terrorist group.
2:38 am
>> you know who those american citizens are who have been working with us, they handed over, anything other than a kill list, the state department gave, completely outsourced security to the taliban, the weight he talked about taliban in the press conference are generally candy gave credit to the taliban and reporting attacks. it is criminal negligence to get these lists and less biometric data, the blue to access that in countries of our afghan allies, they had a choice, bet on the taliban or bit on the united states, nato allies, we have a moral obligation to protect them and get them out and handed over a list of their names and left the ability to the taliban and to access biometric data. it is unconscionable. >> it is unimaginable we are relying on the taliban for

anything at all. this morning tracking tropical storm ida expected to be a major hurricane. janice dean has the fox weather forecast was what is it looking like, not too good. >> janice: this is a major story. we think the storm will strike as a category 3, major hurricane just west of new orleans on the anniversary of katrina and this will probably be the biggest test of the levee system since 16 years ago. i know the headlines on afghanistan and it is very important to the this is going to put areas of louisiana on high alert. it is the right side of the hurricane that brings the strongest storm surge and winds

i'm in germany. they are processing my paperwork to get home but what was going on before, it is very hard not just my family but fellow citizens left behind, people that helped our troops that are left behind in afghanistan with the attack yesterday my heart goes out to those people and would like to thank tara miller. i will be hearing her voice and very thankful to her for doing everything in the process to help me.
2:47 am
and help me get out of the country. >> how does it make you feel to hear her say that and to know that you had such a role in helping this american mother make her way out of the country now that we've seen everything that transpired. >> a beautiful bright light on a sad day. it is wonderful to hear her voice and happiness in her voice. i can't wait for her to be hugging her children and to me it was just -- i'm just one person among hundreds of thousands of people trying to get americans out of there safely. it does my heart good to hear her voice. to hear children in the background and know she is safe
2:48 am
but now we have to continue and all our wonderful veterans and congressional people who served along with people who shed blood for our country, it is our important duty to make sure we get all of our people out of there. jillian: i'm curious what you think of the news that happened yesterday with the suicide bombings on the ground near the airport in couple -- couple. bull. how do you feel when you saw the news that broke yesterday? knowing what people there are up against more so than they were in previous days? >> very devastating. there is a canal, sewage water people are trying to get to and they have to jump in to get out. now i see videos of the car now
2:49 am
being bloodied with people's blood that got killed, got injured in the blast yesterday and our soldiers are working very hard. i don't think they deserve to die in the last moment. they need help. i met guys that didn't sleep for 7 days straight and they were still helping people. the same thing in qatar but especially in afghanistan our troops need help them. they may need a clear system to help people. i believe they need more troops out there to help them. because i don't know, the airport is closed and there are a lot of people stranded, citizens, green card holders and
2:50 am
especially knowing the taliban and has access to their data this makes it very dangerous for everybody that helped the us government and afghanistan throughout these 20 years and here we are, the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 and we still have thousands of people behind enemy lines running for their lives. jillian: you said it. >> our fellow citizens and soldiers. jillian: how do you feel and what is your plan now for your family members who are still there? can you hear me? looks like she's having trouble. >> the ones, most of my family
2:51 am
because we were also contractors as well so we were helping the military and they are still trying to get inside the airport. my family numbers were in that sewage water yesterday, they have to go home. there is no plan. there is no plan. what i can do is i want to continue this fight and i would like my nation to stand up for its people because they helped us, helps troops stand up for citizens and our troops because this is not just about our citizens left behind now. our troops are also getting killed. we lost 16 soldiers yesterday. we need a better system in place.
2:52 am
>> 13 service members. are you trying to get the rest of their family members out of there. >> we won't stop working. america does not take orders from the taliban. we set the timetable, and get people out of afghanistan. i know veterans, active servicemembers around the world are watching with baited breath, working extremely hard behind-the-scenes to make this happen and make sure we can get all of our people out of there. it is so important. we won't stop working. jillian: i know it is loud [where you are] is okay. glad to talk to you when you are in a safe location.
2:53 am
with that in mind that you are waiting in germany, you've been around a lot of other people out there who are also trying to get back home and been so lucky and excited to be able to get out of afghanistan what are people saying? >> i see some people, i have families who had to send children and wives home, the men of the house, they are going outside dealing with people. these people have left their homes and loved ones, i see them happy but they have that shock on their face. some of them don't believe they are safe.
2:54 am
this is like a dream. they couldn't imagine being here and being safe. jillian: now that you've had a few days since we have spoken to you and gone through so much to get out of there do you have any other message for our president today? >> my message for him is mister president, please don't let us down. don't let our nation down. we don't take orders from the taliban. please get our people out. get our troops home safe, get our citizens home safe, get the people who work for us with us on the ground, get them home safe. jillian: the first thing you want to do when you get home is hug your kids. have you been able to speak to them since your situation has
2:55 am
changed? when we last spoke, you were having a hard time speaking to your daughter because she was so worried you were going to get hurt or even worse, beheaded. >> actually i haven't been able to because -- translating and helping people out, helping troops to translate or clean up or volunteer with cleaning. i haven't been able to talk to my family. jillian: she's breaking up a little bit. >> this morning - can you hear me? jillian: we are having a hard time hearing you, try again. >> hello? jillian: we are losing service. can you hear us? okay.
2:56 am
