ainsley: listen, we're not used to this up here in the northeast. we are not used to seeing hurricane winds and flooding. it's been a long time since we have seen this kind of rain here. people that were traveling from long island where brian is, actually, too much water for brian to actually make it into the office this morning. i decided to stay in the city because of all the flooding. and we have friends that are trying to get. in they left at 10:00 out there on long island where brian is brian, good thing you didn't try to make it in. they were stranded in their car about five hours on the highway. brian: yeah. a lot of what happened is right by my house was fine. but i was looking at the roadways and people were calling me saying you are going to get close to the city but that's as far as you are going to get. everything is shut down until 5:00 a.m. i was going to hop on a train. the trains were shut counsel. i was able to come back to long island and do the show from here like we did in 2020. so we will have a little bit of a delay but there is so much to discuss today and of course national and international. not everybody is concerned about the northeast. i'm just glad we're going to be on and i'm going to be able to

do the radio. it's back to the future. pandemic style. steve: and if anybody is traveling, it is still dark here in the eastern third of the united states. and particularly throughout the new york, new jersey pennsylvania area. you if you were out on the radio be careful. fox breaking news. seven people died historic flooding many new york city area. what's left of hurricane ida spawning several tornadoes across maryland, pennsylvania, and new jersey. ashley strohmier joins us right now live with video that is coming in. and, ashley, it is shocking to see what is going on in the subways. >> it really is. we are learning a 2-year-old among the seven dead this morning. ida wreaks havoc across the northeast. a state of emergency issued for new york as mayor de blasio

urges people to stay off the streets. the national weather service says at least six inches of rain fell over the region overnight. the mpa suspending nearly all trains overnight as the system deals with heavy flooding in stations. take a look at this video of water gushing on to a platform. being it's really unbelievable to see that but the nypd has been busy overnight responding to calls of people needing help, including a man who was trapped in a flooded basement. the nypd special ops unit bringing the man and his dog to safety. and in new jersey, some flights resuming this morning new york international shutting down several runways. a man did n. his 70s died after his vehicle was overtaken by floodwaters? in maryland a tornado causing damage across annapolis. storms off roofs and trees

across roads. flash flood warnings is it expected to move across massachusetts and into maine before moving offshore. back to you guys. ainsley: thank you, ashley. let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for fox weather forecast. you warned us yesterday we were going to see a lot of rain. janice: yeah. like brian, i live on the island i was on my way n a car and we turned around. turn around, don't drown we're taking our own advice, right? we got record breaking rainfall. a lot of the roads are shut down and it's very difficult to travel in new york city. we did break records. so this is historic rainfall for portions of new jersey and new york. in some cases over 3 inches almost 4 inches of rain an hour last night. we had reports of tornadoes, at least five report of tornadoes. in and around the philadelphia area, in new jersey as well, and that is the diminishing threat, of course, from later on today, but we do have a tornado watch

still in effect for cape cod and the island. they are getting the heaviest rain in new england. it will eventually move offshore and the severe threat and severe flooding is starting to weaken as well which is great news. the potential was always there for a severe weather outbreak including tornadoes. we were warning of that yesterday. and the potential for upwards of 10 inches of rain which is exactly what we got. it's really hard to pinpoint the reas as forecasters where you are going to get that heavy rain. but i will say that we were predicting the potential for extreme weather including flooding and tornadoes yesterday everyone needs to be safe, turn around, don't drown, take the advice. i did. i took my own advice this morning and broadcasting from my home. so, back to you. steve: all right, j.d., thank you very much. and looking at your radar, it looks like the storm has moved out of boston and now is hammering the coast of maine. i'm looking at there are

significant travel delays throughout the northeast. i'm looking at newark right now. 88% of the departures are really really late. i know somebody who was supposed to take off in the next hour out of laguardia. they canceled the flight. and for the people who are traveling, keep in mind we are coming up on the holiday weekend. a lot of people are traveling and there is a real good possibility if you have got a ticket for today, check with your airline or look at your smart phone app. to see if you are still going because most people's flights this morning were cab said. ainsley: yeah. so many stories when everybody was walking into fox this morning we all were comparing stories were you able to get in okay? were you able to get in okay? one of the workers here, one of our friends here was coming in from new jersey, her husband packed her car with flashlights and with snacks. and said call me if you have any trouble. the route she was going to take she heard on the radio do not take that rowvment people are stabbed in their cars. she said like you, steve, when she was coming in she saw some cars that were empty.

subway systems. steve: and no flashers. so you have got to be careful. ainsley: subways are delayed right now if they are even running. be prepared. stay out of the city if you can and stay at home as janice cass saying. turn around. steve: it's not a normal thursday. ainsley: it's not worth it we have seven people who are dead here as a result of these storms. brian? brian: yeah. when you talk about turn around, that's exactly what they heard 48 hours before the gates closed at harmid karzai airport. americans showed up with passports in their hand. green card holders showed up. sivs showed up and the gates were locked. when general mckenzie comes out we had a lot of room on our plane i was hoping americans would show up and they didn't. you should have figured it out. that was disingenuous at best. they couldn't get out the gate was locked. if they didn't tell the general in charge the gate was locked. that shows how ridiculously bad this operation was. as we discussed the politico story revealed and more whistleblowers coming forward

thanks to dan crenshaw and others who set up secure lines. people inside the biden administration knew what a terrible operation this was. and they're appalled. i'm going to bring to you this quote now from politico an anonymous source within the administration says this. i am absolutely appalled and literally horrified we left americans there. it was a hostage rescue of thousands of americans and the guise of a noncombatant evacuation operation and we have failed the no-fail mission. another quote said this: it was a hostage video of thousands of americans. they also said i'm absolutely appalled at this. i will bring this to another story that josh rogin had that there was about 600 journalists who work for radio free america and radio free europe that were left behind. they said over and over again we have about 600 of us here. make sure there is room on the flight. you know we get murdered. you know the taliban hate us. our message of freedom and liberty was something despised by the islamic extremist from the 7th century looking to take over this country. we left them anyway.

it is appalling. and i think more horror stories are going to emerge, guys. steve: yeah, regarding that story you were talking about the 600 members of the u.s.a. global media team most of them afghans, they are stuck there. and according to "the washington post," apparently, you know, the department of state really wanted to get them out but the clock ran out because the president said all right, the schok going to run out. too bad. the department of state says they will keep trying. here's the bad news for the president of the united states as we look at -- we try to pick up the pieces. brand new rasmussen reports poll came out in the last 24 hours. 52% of voters in the united states of america think joe biden should resign over the afghan withdrawal. a majority of americans think the current president of the united states should resign and ainsley and brian, here's the scary part, most do not think that vice president kamala

harris is qualified to be president. so they don't have faith in the man at the end of the table in the situation room. and they don't have faith, ainsley, in our number two. ainsley: yeah, well, 12% of the congressman and four senators are calling for biden to leave office. retired military leaders calling for biden's team to resign. milley and austin and blinken and sullivan. to say your point, brian. you were reading the sound from someone who talked to politico who is within the biden administration that is so fed up with all of this and disgusted by it all. there is another person they interviewed within the white house that said that the mission cannot be labeled as accomplished. if americans are left behind. and then y'all probably saw what ken cuccinelli said. he is worried about the vetting process because the defense second austin said there are almost 24,000 afghans that have been sent here to america and cuccinelli said it is a 14-step process to vet these individuals. typically that takes 18 months to two years. he said that's about 18,000 of them that are brought in because

750 afghans helped us for the last 15 years per year. so he said the total is 18,000. he said vetting them, there is no way they will be able to could this in a couple of weeks or months. steve: some of the afghans they have already looked into they have no history. they are simply ghosts. there is no record of what they did before they came. ainsley: many of them are wonderful people. they helped us, they're our allies. we are just worried that some terrorist could say slip in and that's very scary. steve: mark levin had this observation about the people left behind. watch this. >> how many anne franks are there tonight in afghanistan? how many anne franks are hiding in cellars all across that country today? no commander-in-chief has ever ordered any general to leave citizens behind. what about these children and these women? what about the afghan allies? can you hear the screams of the people of afghanistan tonight because they are screaming?

can you hear the women being brutalized? can you hear the bullets and the execution? because it's occurring under the cover of dark. because our media is unable to be there. while they are celebrating at the state department and the defense department, and at the white house, and while they want to turn the corner and change the politics, the human infrastructure of all things, and to covid-19, by god, i have never been more disgusted with my government and the top brass of the united states military than i am right now. brian: and i will just add this. i think all of us agree with that i will add this the way he went up and spoke and blame americans i told you 19 times to leave. blame trump which the policy i had in place my hands were tied. it was time to get out of the war. it was always going to be messy. no, it didn't. now the facts emerge of a phone

call that you made in july that are leaked out to your jen psaki, your spokes mouth will not talk about but the verification by reuters is not in dispute that says you knew it was bad to change the perceptions. and what i think makes it worse the man in uniform general milley also told ghani change perspective. change the narrative. you are a military guy. he needed air power. he needed strength. he needed leadership. he told you people coming from the outside. helping the taliban, other countries were there other terror networks were there, and he ignored of the call. he wanted to change the narrative that we spoke about. and that is appalling. and he did it with -- and this came out while zen ski of the ukraine was sitting next to joe biden this is much worse than any phone call that donald trump made. i would take on any challenges that want to challenge that statement. ainsley: he was impeached by his phone call. if the roles were reversed if this were president trump, what would be the reaction from the

media? steve: there is a great piece in the national review by andrew mccarthy says a lot what got trump got impeached for. andy mccarthy says the president cannot be impeached for this. keep in mind it's all political. and but here's the tell. mitch mcconnell in kentucky says that this president will not be impeached because the democrats run the house and the senate. keep in mind, impeachment is political. ainsley: elections have consequences. brian: trump was politics this is life and death. ainsley: that's right. 6:15 on the east coast. concerns amplified as the biden administration attempt to struggle the border crisis and surge of afghan refugees. we will tell you the shocking new statistics about the number of migrant children the government has reportedly lost track of. steve: that's not good. two top fda regulators reportedly stepping down over the administration's covid booster shot plan. the top-down approach creating

♪ jillian: good morning, we are back now with your headlines. a shocking new report finding the biden administration has lost track of thousand of migrant children who have been released from custody. according to data obtained by axios through a freedom of information ability request between january and may. hhs made more than 1,000 calls to check in on migrant children who were released to either relatives or sponsors. but nearly 5,000 of those calls weren't answered. new overnight, the supreme court upholding texas' new abortion law. the measure is now in effect. outlawing terminations once a fetal heart beat is detected which is usually around six

weeks. it also allows people to sue abortion providers. president biden saying it, quote: blatantly violates roe v. wade. this as some texas clinics reports scrambling to give 11th hour abortions squeezing in women until minutes before the law went into effect. that's a look at your headlines. send it back to you. ainsley: good deal. thank you very much, jillian. many of us are planning on traveling over the weekend. the cdc is telling anyone not vaccinated to stay at home. don't travel. we don't want you to infect someone else. they don't want you to get sick. they are stay saying it's just not safe for you to travel. fda is so upset over the way the white house is handling this several people i should say in the fda. and there are two high ranking officials there. they are top fda vaccine regulator. they have decided to resign effective october and the second one effective november because these booster shots have become so political. and the white house is announcing that you should get a booster shot. that third shot before the fda

approved it or recommended it one of them is dr. marion gruber and philip crouse. >> remember these things going so terrible in afghanistan. all of a sudden president trump says i have an announcement to make we're going to have a booster shot. the next week we find out wait a second. i have an idea that pfizer vaccine now has full fda approval. it makes people just distrust the whole medical process and the booster shot got immediate pushback as ainsley mentioned from the w.h.o. wait a second. what should we do. dr. marty makary, listen. >> the data are not out. showing that the everyday american public needs a booster. there's no evidence right now that the vaccinated immunity is waning and preventing hospitalizations and death for the white house to announce before the sphad or cdc has formal evaluated it that they are going to have a booster plan that's going to recommend that

people on september 20th take boosters, this is a bit of an insult to the fda that's authority. that's why marion gruber and phil krause, two respected high level fda officials left. brian: we have less faith in these organizations every day the cdc. the fda and the w.h.o. fighting it out and of course we are all in the crosshairs. lastly, just add this. the alan dershowitz as predictside starting to peter out. people look at those numbers. they will start going down. how do you know they are going down? because people stopped report it. people don't like good news when it comes to the pandemic. they want everyone locked down wearing masks. israel is the precursor. the u.k. is a precursor for us. watch what they are doing and they are experiencing we are about two or three weeks behind. steve: speaking of the u.k., brian, if you get the vaccination that cuts your risk of long-term covid in half. they examined more than a million people. over the last year. that's what they say.

meanwhile, regarding the boosters, the eu says there is no urgent need for fully vaccinated people to get boosters. this comes right after the country of france started giving people boosters, now, regarding the number of people getting covid. right now here in the country, of the united states, it's averaging 160,000 new cases every day. and what is troubling as school gets started again is last week 200,000 kids were announced to have contracted covid. also, you know, we know that washington has just been throwing bales and bales and billions of dollars at the problem. according to the paper this morning, apparently $44 million set aside for america's nursing homes and hospitals has not been distributed because apparently the biden administration they are just sitting on the money. so the hospitals have the need for $44 billion but the biden administration hasn't given it up yet. gee, i wonder why.

we keep hearing hey, you know, there is all that extra money in the covid fund, why don't you just take that money and hire new police? so, maybe, they have got intentions to spend that money that's already been allocated for nursing homes and hospitals some place else. ainsley: did you see the w.h.o. is investigating a possible new variant the mu variant, pretty scary. the majority of people in the hospital are unvaccinated or the majority of the deaths have been unvaccinated if you want to protect yourself my mother is very sick. you know that she had a stroke. she a diabetic. she just got her booster shot she would rather risk that and take the shot than worst case scenario. steve: there are still 40 million americans who have not had the shot yet. if you have the chance and your doctor says it's okay you should get it there are a lot of people who simply cannot get it everybody else if you are sitting on the fence, doesn't seem to be able to hurt. ainsley: 80 million americans that are not vaccinated that

than they have been for the past 20 years. brian: right. because as we mentioned they have our stuff and the other terror organizations are report from the haqqani network to bin laden's al-qaeda. so a lot of people are saying including general milley, hey, we might partner with the taliban. they might be nicer now. what do you think are the taliban nicer now? >> taliban terrorist also never change. i experienced that when i was like 8 years old. we cannot trust them. and we have to do our best to save our u.s. citizens and our afghan allies which are they are the most dire need right now to get out of the country and get to safety. and i'm so disappointed that this chaotic scene happened in kabul airport with the withdrawal that allowed thousands and thousands of allies left behind. brian: right. so how many people in your family. how many people associated with american forces are you looking to help? >> we have given a list of 107 people to our congressional delegation and senator's office. those are in family members that

been out here in annapolis, it's very apparent how widespread and extensive the damage is i mean, if you just take a look behind me. you can see this tree, this massive tree rather was uprooted because of how powerful the winds and the rains were. and it toppled over and landed on these power lines here. i'm not sure if you can hear the loud humming noise in the distance, but that's the sound of generators going off to some of the homes you see here in the distance. right now it's presumed to be the only source of energy being sent to this street. kenny, request you can turn around here you can see a truck redirecting traffic at this time until all of this gets cleaned up. and when that happens is unclear. but, as you can imagine safety is a concern. at this hour if you see any wildfires wires down on the ground. crews are warning people to stay away from them and leave that for the exforts handle. there is no estimated time for which had when this tree and other potentially other trees behind this will get removed.

of course by the looks of things, residents will have to be patient as crews clearly have a busy day ahead of them. many residents were tell us it took less than 10 minutes for this fast-moving tornado to make its way through annapolis. steve, let's send it back to you. steve: unbelievable weather. all right. elijah thank you very much for the live report. senior meteorologist janice dean could not make it into the city because of the impassable roads and she joins us from her home bunker. janice: very grateful for the technology that i can broadcast from my home today because i was on the roads. we saw flooding. we turned around and we came back. and that's what i want everyone to do this morning. heed those warnings. the worst of it is almost over. but the damage, of course, is done. we had at least five reports of tornadoes. not only in maryland but parts of new jersey as well as, you know, near the philadelphia area. so pennsylvania, the flood advisories are posted for many of these cities, even though the flood threat is northward. we are still going to see the potential for heavy rainfall over new england today.

and then that risk will diminish throughout the day and overnight. there is the additional rainfall. the worst of it really is over. now as the sun comes up. we will see the damage and clean up will continue. also, i want to make mention for our friends that were hit by ida as a hurricane in louisiana and mississippi. we still have, you know, very warm temperatures. so those without air conditioning, this is going to be a really trying time over the next couple of days. there is new orleans. so we'll bump those temperatures down a little bit. but with the humidity, it's going to feel quite oppressive. and we have the chance for thunderstorms in this region as well. so, watching all of the areas that were affected by ida and then we also have hurricane larry. that's going to become a major hurricane in the next couple of days. we are going to have to watch it. it looks like it is going to curve northward it is the beginning or rather the peak of hurricane season. so we will have to watch the tropics, of course, and we will do. so back to you, steve. steve: all right, j.d. thank you very much. let's switch gears for just a minute.

a new report shining lights on new york city's soft on crime approach. data compiled by the state division of criminal justice services reveals that more than 6500 accused felon accused felons were let off the hook in 2020 after d.a.s decided do you know what? we are not going to prosecute. our next guest whose son was shot and killed in a bronx deli here in new york city just last month, blames the city's weak policies for the surge in violence. and marisol sanchez joins us right now. marisol, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: for the folks who did not see you last month when you were on our program, tell us what happened to your son j.j. >> this is very difficult. steve: i know. >> my son was home. he was sleeping. i was in the shower and he decided to go to the store to get a juice and water. he told me right before he left

that he knocked on the bathroom door because i was in shower and he says mom, i'm going to the store. do you want anything? and i said, you know, there is sufficient to drink here he is like i know. i need air. he wanted to go outside. so, i told him hurry up and come back. i don't want you outside. there is too much stuff going on. he is like i know. i know, mom, i know. i'm coming right back. then he closed the door. he opened the door again and he was like mommy, i love you. and i said i love you, too. and then minutes later i got the call that he was shot' at the store. steve: it's just terrible. marisol, and i know that you were concerned about the fact that here in new york city and a number of other american big cities, it doesn't seem like they are cracking down on crime. and, in fact, you know, in the "new york post," 6500 accused felons go scot-free as new york city d.a.s decline to prosecute. what -- you know, apparently,

they say in the article at the "new york post," the d.a.s are worried about getting reelected plus you throw in a bucket of woke and no one is getting prosecuted. >> yeah. i believe that. and i read the article. and i think that what's more alarming to me is that 28.5% of the people that -- jesus, lord, have mercy. the defending the cases that were dropped were mostly from the bronx. they have the highest defense my question would be how many of that 28.5% are felons that are committing crimes again? how many are back for serious crime? steve: repeat offenders? >> yeah. how many of those have committed crimes over and over again and they just left them scot-free?

and to right now, i don't even know if this individual that killed my son could be one of those people, you know. it could have been prevented. i don't know the facts yet. i don't know the full -- i don't know the name of these people. i don't know -- i have no information. but, there is a high chance that this person that this individual, that murdered my son could have been one of those people. that is alarming. steve: because there doesn't seem to be repercussions for a lot of people who are breaking the law and committing crime. it's heart breaking what's going on. marisol, we thank you very much for joining us and telling us the story about your son jj again. >> thank you so much. steve: all right. god bless you. all right. about a dozen minutes before the top of the hour. despite the chaos surrounding the military withdrawal from afghanistan, congressman chuck fleischmann says americans are still feeling the call to serve. is he going to join us live with one patriotic teenager looking to follow in his father's footprints and join the service.

because we saw america attacked right in new york on our soil. it was horrible. but, let me say this: despite the adversity that we see. despite the debacle that we have seen come out of afghanistan, the american people are a proud great patriotic people. we have the freest greatest nation in the world. and when you see young men and women and wanting to stand up and serve our country, patriotism is alive and well. our friends need to know it. our foes need to know it we are still the greatest nation in the world. ainsley: quentin, i know you are considering west point. you are a sophomore. you are not at that point yet. what does the american flag mean to you? >> it stands for freedom. this great america that we have. and our soldiers who are fighting to keep that freedom safe. ainsley: you know, congressman, our hearts go out to those 13 families that lost their loved ones over in afghanistan. when you hear the stories of how women are treated there, how gay individuals are treated there and we compare it to what we

have in america and you can be anyone you want to be. you can achieve your goals and dreams. doesn't it make so you proud to be an american? >> it really does. again, america is always been that great beacon of freedom to the world. when i talk to world leaders, when i have visited them, the world looks to america to lead and to be free. and that's what we are and that's what we will always be. ainsley: well, got bless you both. thank you so much. quentin, we wish all the best. >> thank you. ainsley: thank you for your service. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. 6:56 on the east coast. new white house report says white house officials are appalled and horrified after president biden left americans stranded there in afghanistan. lara trump is on deck to react. ♪ ♪ ♪ for deb, living with constipation with belly pain was the same old story for years. trying this. doing that. spending countless days right here. still came the belly pain, discomfort, and bloating.

because i also have a shoot later on today. i'm supposed to fly out. i just checked right now it's a 1:00 flight and right now everything is running on time. i don't know if they feel as though everything is moving out and things will going to be okay in the new york area. one thing i was washed about is each things look good you come upon the water and if there is no exit there you are screwed. you are not going to turn around and go the wrong way on an expressway and everything shut down since 5:00 a.m. so i made a tactical move to come back. it's just not worth it. steve: it's not. and, of course, the traditional wisdom is if you are driving in your car, and you see that the roadway is covered, if you cannot see the bottom of the road, don't drive into the water. because, unfortunately, that can have dire and deadly consequences. ainsley: you saw cars stranded people picked up or walked or something? steve: people overnight on the highways leading into new york

>> taliban fighters who recently staged mock funerals for the u.s. could be the pentagon's partners. >> in war, you do what you must in order to reduce risk to mission and force, not what you necessarily want to do. >> coordination against isis-k? >> it's possible. >> ands white house now is declining to provide further details about that private conversation president biden had with the former afghan president ashraf ghani where president biden throned withhold military aid to the afghan national forces if they did not change their behavior if that sounds kind of familiar, a president threatening to withhold aid on a call with a foreign leader, it's because that is pretty much the same exact thing that democrats chose to impeach president trump over when he phoned ukraine a couple years back. back to you. steve: great point, peter.

brian: thanks so much, peter. buried in that story is anonymous sources said they are appalled about what happened behind the scenes over the last few weeks while on july 8th they told us it's going to no problem. the afghan forces it's not inevitable that the taliban will take over the country. meanwhile they all go on vacation and the country falls like a house of cards. now we find out with that phone call that the president pretty much knew about it. and he told him change the perception. change the narrative. and what i think is really appalling is i expect more from our military leaders. because, evidently in a private call and the transcript not disputed, general milley said the same thing. what does general milley and secretary of defense austin doing? these are generals. they could only take three softball questions and they punt when it comes to jennifer griffin? where is the back pony on our military? they're not worthy of the men and women that spill blood to fight this war. they sit in washington in air conditioned offices and refuse to answer questions. they show up late.

they barely show up for a press conferences. and then they take three questions and head for the exits. meanwhile, the in a private briefing to the press yesterday, they admitted majority sivs have been left behind. we also know that a lot of people, afghans working for radio free europe and voice of america, hundreds of which they were left off planes, and a lot of these planes were left -- were wide open with seats. because they showed up with their visas. they showed up with their green cards. and the gates stayed locked. unbelievable what has taken place here. and now i think we're going to see, guys, more and more leaks about the administration. the president was not accurate, he was not candid. and if you are going to get mad at president trump for getting political with the ukraine you should be abhorred by what happened because people died because the president wasn't candid about the reality on the ground this summer. steve: yeah. let's talk a little bit about what peter was talking about a

minute ago. president trump impeached for a phone call. now we have a phone call where joe biden asked one, the leader of afghanistan, when he was still there, asked him to lie in exchange for military support. mollie hemingway and sean parnell weighed in on what's going on with that, listen to this from last night's prime time. >> we impeached a president for a it phone call and now we have this leak of phone call that president biden had where he asked someone to lie in exchange for military support. it sounds like something that last year would have caused major problems for the previous president. >> they don't call him quid pro-joe for nothing. and the most horrible thing about all of this, tammy, is that the fact that he to lie means that he knew six weeks ago that things were going to go bad. >> that's correct. >> he didn't address this strategy. he didn't warn americans in that country to leave.

steve: regarding now there are a number of republicans saying he should be impeached. andy mccarthy in the national review writes it's not impeachable. he says biden's phone call with ghani was appropriate but his afghanistan policy was disastrous. trump's phone call was inappropriate in part but his ukraine policy was fine. arguably an improvement over his predecessor's neither case warranted misconduct impeachment and removal. mitch mcconnell said yesterday there ain't going to be no impeachment because, he didn't say that i'm just saying this that way. there is not going to be any impeachment because the democrats run the house and the senate. ainsley: we all love this country and seeing what's happening in afghanistan, it makes me so grateful to be an american and see our troops that are fighting for our country. we all go to work every single day to put food on our table. also to pay our taxes. and our tax dollars went to buy so much equipment there that we gave to our afghan allies.

now in the hands of the taliban. 33 helicopters, 169 armored personnel carriers, more than 22,000 armored humvees and almost 356,000 rifles. guess what? now they are having victory rallies and victory fladz afghanistan. look at this. steve: looks familiar. ainsley: used to be ours. heavily armed taliban fighters standing on long line of captured humvees, black hawk helicopter even flew overhead and some of them created bling american m-16 rifles. if that doesn't make your blood boil. it's also terrifying. what does the future look like. will we see another 9/11? i hope not. but now they have taken over afghanistan. and we have heard from countless people that they are never going to change. you can't change their ideology. and that is very scary. let's bring in lara trump. go ahead, brian. brian: we keep hearing over and over again the assassinations are taking place now. they're hunting down people affiliated with us running for the hills. have to use private groups to have to get them out through

land exits through pakistan or other places in order for them to survive. and joe biden wants to move on. because he was hard move. he decided it was time to get out and it was inevitable it was going to be messy. no, it wasn't. and even democrats realize that i look for democrats who have trouble sleeping at night to come forward and saying i can't go along with this. steve: all right. let's bring in lara trump, fox news contributor. she joins us right now. good morning few. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning, guys. steve: rasmussen came out with a report yesterday 52% of american voters think joe biden should resign over the way he handled the withdrawal and here is another scary part. most don't think the vice president is qualified to replace him as potus. what say you? >> i mean, the terrifying situation. that we have now found ourselves in. yeah, i don't think most people think that joe biden can effectively execute the office of president of the united

states. we have seen what a complete and total failure this afghanistan situation turned out to be not just that it makes us look bad on the world stage. not just that it makes america look weak, but now we have 13 dead service members. we have less americans and allies in afghanistan. brian, you just referenced it, we now have american veterans, people who have already served our country once, now going over there, as civilians, trying to help people escape because they are left on their own. the government has now abandoned them. and, yeah, if we get rid of joe biden, we have kamala harris, a woman though was polling at 3% in her own state of california dropped out, might i remind everybody, of the primaries for president on the democrat side before her home state even voted because she was doing so poorly there. she is not popular. we definitely don't want her running things. so we are in quite a pickle

here. in america but then you saw joe biden go out the other day, give basically a victory lap and a victory speech yelling at all of us and now you are right, brian, too. he just want to move on. wants us to forget about it. let's go onto the delta variant and the next variant of covid. whatever it is that we can talk about to get people off of afghanistan. this was a failure on every single level. someone ought to be held accountability for this. multiple people. certainly joe biden and his vice president kamala harris. ainsley: now, lara, you heard brian talking about it earlier, people in the white house and peter doocy was talking about it, appalled, horrified, they say we have failed, that no fail mission. this is what they are saying now. the president, as you are saying, wants to move on, wants to change the narrative. wants to take a victory lap here. will voters remember what happened in afghanistan in three and a half years? >> well, the media is going to do everything possible, ainsley, to try to get to you forget. they will try to cover this up

like they did the hunter biden atlanta story. laptop story. do jazz hands guess to you look over here and not over here so american voters are distracted. we cannot forget this. this is a stain on america. it will never be undone. we have a lot of ground now to make up in order to get us back to a place of strength around the world. and, yes, americans and american voters are paying attention. we never want to position ourselves as weakly as we have right now. remember when donald trump was in office. it was peace through strength. there were no new wars that were entered. america felt safe. we had a secure southern border. now not only do we have americans abandoned in afghanistan. our afghan allies who basically have had their death warrant signed, we have an entire country now run by a terrorist organization that will be a hot bed for terrorism and, guess what? we have an open southern border, thanks to joe biden, so if you want to figure out how to get

into america, guess how they are going to get in? it's very easy right now. voters need to keep these things in mind. not only, ainsley as we approach 2024 but 2022 as well. brian: remember joe biden told us the border is going to it's so hot out they will stop coming all seasonal and cyclical. that was a flat out lie. we know about the army it will be fine. 300,000. fine fighting force that's a flat out lie and he knew it we know he has supporters. aoc came out in case you are wondering why everyone is mad at joe biden and coming going on tv relentlessly because he has the courage to leave afghanistan. chris hayes comes out and says tellings failing afghan government to fail it until you make it is a means of extending its rein as long as possible. a sad statement and cumulative sad studies in afghanistan. tell that to the hundreds left behind bike the family and' the friends of those who helped us out of this man who goes by the

name mohammed. able to get him out is he working to get others out. is he an interpreter. here is what he was saying about the situation on the ground. >> me and my family [inaudible] people behind. that's [inaudible] it i'm hiding in my house. i haven't seen outside what's going on outside. >> i think there is countless interpreters that are still in afghanistan with the hasty withdrawal if we had had clear objectives, to our troop count, when we were withdrawn from afghanistan, i think it would have been a lot more efficient and we would have been able to ensure people like mohammed getting out country.

ing. brian: that was mohammed. i interviewed a mohammed that was left and he got relocated to the south in america but that was a different one. that was the exact interpreter that helped joe biden and stood there for 30 hours in the winter when senator biden, along with kerry and hagel were stuck on the ground in afghanistan. now he can't get a returned call from the white house, sinful. >> yeah, i mean, gosh, how just awful this is on every possible level. this man risked his life to save joe biden and now he cannot reciprocate the favor and get him out. he just -- you heard from him, my gosh, is he a prisoner in his own home. he can't even go outside. this is a situation for all of these individuals who bravely helped america over the past 20 years in afghanistan, how shameful that we have left him high and dry and so many others. steve: there are thousands of them. all right, lara, thanks so much for joining us live. ainsley: hand it over to jillian

the outfits and even aircraft left behind by the united states this as the biden administration reportedly directs its federal agency to scrub web sites of official reports detailing the vast amounts of weapons sent to afghanistan. unbelievable. here to react medal of honor recipient and brand new fox news contributor privileged to have him dakota meyer. dakota, we have been showing some of this video last night. so glad you are here. part of the family. we are showing the individual yet armored hum vos, the black hawks flying in the air. we have seen the haqqani network soldiers and these taliban walking around in our camouflage outfits. what's it like for you? , i'm not surprised by any of this. anyone who work with the afghan national army who worked next to the soldiers. obviously the special ops side of it. those phis are hammering down and fighting and fighting to get a strong hold. as far as the afghan national army, i mean, i don't think any

of us thought they would last three days after we left, right? i mean, obviously we provided superior air support to them and we just didn't see that so, i mean, it's just terrible. it's terrible because, you know, the protocol is that if i have something that, you know, sensitive equipment that we are going to have to leave in an area where it could be potentially compromised by the enemy. we destroy it you look, you seen this in a very famous mission wherever with rob o'neill and them going after bin laden, they destroyed that helicopter on sight before they left that that is the protocol for us. for us to sit here and leave that you will military equipment black hawks, you have got them flying around in black hawks. it took three days to learn how it fly our black hawks. it just is terrible that we left military equipment over there to where more people are going to die at the hands of u.s. equipment. brian: this is what i worry about international reels

section. there is 23 black hawks and planes that and fighter jets that went to uzbekistan. are they going to pressure the government of uzbekistan to fly back? i don't know where their loyalties lie. the other thing is now that you find out about this phone call that joe biden knew this thing was going south and he wanted to change the optics and the narrative, they should have been moving on this instinctively. general milley should know that like the back of his hand? where was the protocol? where was the military mind. >> yeah, i mean, listen, the accountability has to start at the top, right? yeah, military with general milley, like all of them knew this was going on. there is no more hiding this anymore, right? like the conversation has been leaked. jen psaki is not even commenting on this. so i think what you will see here in the next month or so is jen psaki get switched out. how do you get this to move on? they are just trying to buy time and not answer it. hoping that the american people will quit caring about this. that something else will pop up. you know, they are sitting back and just hoping that something

else pops up to take over the news cycle. brian: i just want to say thissenned a i think it goes without saying for those who fought and say why did i give? why did i fight? why did i bleed? you gave for 20 years you gave people an opportunity for freedom and liberty and showed them what the world could be. that's why they are struggling to keep that going. they didn't know there was a real -- there was a real world beyond the 7th century they were stuck in and there is tens of thousands that now know and have you changed some lives. you didn't lose a battle. these politicians and officers were not worthy of you. thanks dakota. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead the virginia department of education under fire for releasing a 9/11 sensitivity training video that calls on teachers to reject american exceptionalism. listen. >> we're also not going to reproduce what's understood as american exceptionalism. this understanding that america is a land at the top of a

dave from our fox affiliate in filly looks like at what is going on as the sun comes up, dave and people get a good look at what went hey haywire last night, people are seeing the mask damage that ida brought. in dublin township outside of philadelphia. this family here, they are trying to salvage what they can after the storms ripped off the roof. took off the brick siding from the front of the house. can you see the brokes on the ground right there. the family tells us they made it out safely. they said that essentially their bedroom is now on the first floor. and there is a tree in their bed. just incredible. they made it out safely. unfortunately, in this area, we know one woman did die connected to these storms. first responders working on water rescues overnight and power outages, scores of power outages across the area.

meantime, you can see all of the trees down this car here wrapped in a wreath of trees you might say big tree completely ripped up from foundation and on the porch of this house. we do know that local emergency management folks are working with state officials trying to put together the resources they need to get assistance to folks who badly need it after all of this damage. steve, back to you. steve: what macy. dave, thank you very much. meanwhile, switching years. crime is so bad out west in san francisco, that the city there is planning to pay some people not to shoot each other. starting in october, the dream keeper fellowship will pay a small grouch high risk residents 300 bucks a month not to commit crimes and they are going to increase it to $500 if they meet certain milestones. with us leaves the rest of the country wondering is this the right approach? reverend eugene rivers is the director of the seymour

gimmicks. this is a policy gimmick. somebody is going to turn in some jacked up guns. and many of the buy backs, gun buy bakraoui teens, right? the dude would turned in a jacked up 38. give himself some money. team up with his partner and buy himself an ak-47 or a glock or some high qualities firearm. it's a bad idea. it's not a new idea. and, for many young people, it will be christmas in september or october. steve: put, reverend. you know you have dedicated your life to try to fix what's going on on american streets right now. ultimately, what they are doing is this is a smoke screen. they're not addressing the root causes, which are crime and they're poverty and education and the family structure. >> listen, you hit it on the head. the bottom line is this is a cheap gimmick to avoid doing the real work of engaging with the

familial, cultural institutional structural problems. it's a gimmick. san francisco, what do you want? san francisco. steve: and think about it. if the city of san francisco is paying you 300 bucks a month not to, you know, rob somebody or do something else, after a while, you think this is so easy. i think i would like $500 a month. so you go back and you say you know what? i think i have done a good job. i think i need a raise. >> it's a hustle. these are talented young people who are going to leverage this thing, make that lucrative hustle, and we will not reduce crime. steve: so you don't think it's going to work? >> no, no. it's not that i don't think. i know it's not going to work. in boston, 30 years ago, we sang this song, and the young hoodlums came to me and said look, rev. we respect you, the deal is we went and got a bunch of jacked up malfunctioning firearms, we turned them, in we took the

the impact because we still look at the flag and look at the navy seal like that and we are so grateful and proud that sends men like him time and time again to fight salvenings that want to take us back and i love seeing when athletic programs just embrace the flag. you don't see enough of that in sports today. ainsley: he said he was a trouble kid and mom didn't understand why he was being so selfish and start talking about things he regrets in his life. he couldn't afford college and he joined and became a navy seal and he went back and able to tackle it.

york city area, looking at the storm reports, we have at least 5 reports of tornadoes, new jersey, outside of philadelphia and maryland as well. of course, storm crews will be out there assessing the damage. i've already seen some of the images on social media and does look like very strong tornadoes move through populist regions. past 24 hours here. we will not see severe storms that we saw yesterday but we will pay attention to southern new england and northern new england over the next couple of hours where we have flash flood warnings in effect and, of course, still flood warnings even though the storm is lifted north ward for parts of mid atlantic and northeast. we will continue to track historic event, what's left of ida, really incredible. steve: janice, i'm glad that you mentioned the national weather

service, they did tell us about what was coming up. when you think about it, more people actually died in new york city area than died in louisiana. louisiana is used to hearing, you know, you have to get out, you have to get out. here in new york city, you know, we have never seen flooding like what came upon us in the last 11, 18 hours. janice: well, we did have hurricane henri two weeks ago that brought historic rainfall to central park region. if you remember they were having a concert live on television and bill de blasio had to get on stage, okay, i think everyone needs to take shelter. the events do happen. we do the best to give you the best forecast we can give you we can't give you pinpoint locations of where the heaviest rainfall is going to be. that's why i always say, know what to do if there's a watch or a warning. the power goes out, you have to have sources to get that information and i have to mention that louisiana still doesn't have power and they are

still cleaning up after the hurricane. so we are not done unfortunately with, you know, the storm reports from this system and i have to say the national weather service did an excellent job yesterday this time i was telling you on "fox & friends" we had the potential of 8 to 10 inches of rainfall and the threat of tornadoes. steve: that's right. janice: i told you we had threat of tornadoes in heavily-populated areas. that's the best we can do and it's up to local officials to issue the warnings which new york and new jersey did. we had emergency weather warnings, several inches -- rather several hours before the storm came. we really did the best we could with the knowledge we had at the time. steve: when you look at the video like the guy walking down the street, you don't know if a manhole cover is out of place and, you know, it's just so perilous and you have the 70-year-old man in possaic, new

jersey who sounds like he was driving in his car and saw standing water and he drove into it and the water overtook it. ainsley: janice, what happened to you this morning when you were trying to come in? janice: listen, i knew it was bad last night. i went to sleep thinking that the power might be out on long island. when i woke up, it looked calm and noticed some of the roads were flooded and you couldn't get across them and there were some roads that were closed off. so i did the best i could and decided i have to come home and be safe and luckily with technology i can broadcast from home but it's really up to yourself and what you're going to do with your family. we give you these reports but you have to do with that information and decide what am i going to do, am i going to travel across high water, well, we can't make that decision for you so you really have to protect yourselves and listen to your local officials, you know. that's it. ainsley: brian, i was talking to

some of the co-workers that were trying to come in last night and they said the highway out in long island was completely under water and they were just stuck in traffic. no one was moving and they stayed in their car for 4 to 5 hours last night and did you experience something similar trying to come to work this morning, brian. brian: a couple of things, my daughter was going to be playing in newark, new jersey in college game and that got canceled so i already had a car in manhattan. they were kind enough to send, i got a 45-minute ride. i got up today and get a call all roads are shut down, we can't get a car to you. i don't know what you're going to do. i hopped in another car that i had and i tried making my way through and then i started looking at the weather report, listening to local radio, everything is shut down. what i worried about not the roads i was on but the roads i was driving into but once you get on a highway and you're committed and huge time between exits and you get flooded, you

are there and stuck and stranded and you can't drive the wrong way on an expressway. i decided to come back and i'm in luxury studios on long island, pandemic-like, the same ones i was enough to be in the pandemic, do the radio show too, we have a report and if i think this was so hard and so impactful in the northeast. imagine what it's like in louisiana. no wonder they feel they are going to have the power it for a long time and the roads disabled for quite some time. >> right, because for the folks in liz and when you look at the devastation, it is all encompassing, so many people are saying damage wise it's worst than katrina. they not only had the water but they had the wind damage. we didn't have as much wind damage although there were reports of tornadoes in a couple of spots.

by the way, apparently the national weather service says that here in new york city area, the flood warning, we are not out of the woods yet, extends another 2 hours in new york city. it was by the way the first time new york city ever issued a flash flood emergency. that's new. and when you see that video of -- there were people on the subway platform in 28th street when it came out like the adventure. that would be terrifying. that's my worst fear to be under ground when, you know, suddenly there's a wall of water and that's a real wall of water. ance an absolutely. think about the moms and dads that have children in the car and stranded on the interstate. i can't imagine what they're going through in louisiana. there were reports in louisiana that they might not get power back on in new orleans for a month. that's the subway underneath. steve: would you be the guy taken the picture. i think i would have taken one second of it and -- >> ainsley: hopefully he can run the other way.

steve: knowing the way the subway stop is, that's the only way out. the water is coming down the only exit. oh, my goodness. what a disaster. and we know that folks, brian, to your point, people across the country have been suffering. the storm finally got to new york city and it's the lingering effects that are going to be felt all day, travel wise all over the place. ainsley: mta are hoping to open subways midday today but millions of people rely on that to get to work. brian: i have a flight at 1:30 and it's on time. so i keep on getting alerts that it's on time. we will see what happens. ainsley: newark, i believe they closed the whole airport or they canceled a lot of flights. there was water in the baggage area. steve: brian, regarding the flight, my wife is taking out a flight at 7:00 o'clock and got canceled at 4:00 o'clock this morning. brian, look at your app where is my plane now because when she

looked at where her plane it was when she was suppose today fly in laguardia it was still in orlando and the problem was there was flooding in airports at laguardia, kennedy was shut down for a while and ainsley you were talking about newark under water. ainsley: yeah, i saw the video of it and i couldn't sleep through the middle of night and going through the headlines and kept seeing so many videos that people were posting and articles that people were stranded on highways. you saw waters. it looked like in the bottom of a mall or something. at the end of the escalators. i saw waters in all the subways and on the way to work for staffers here they had to detour, take a lot of detours and use ways out to get out safely. it's route 9 in new jersey. she normally takes the route. her husband gave her snacks,

gave her flashlights. cell phone charged, call me if there's any emergencies. she had to detour so many times because the route she normally takes, she was listening to the radio people are stranded in their cars and she said so many cars on the way in and, steve, you saw this too had deserted their cars, empty cars along the road. steve: you could tell because people had as you look at cars, courtesy of wabc television. never drive through standing water if you can't see the bottom and those people got stuck right there. so on my way in to work, what i noticed either cars were just passed standing water so they drove through it and they abandoned the cars, maybe batteries were disabled. they would stop the car in front of it and they got out of it. it's just a mess getting into

work. i would imagine a lot of people will be working remotely on this thursday. brian: right, meanwhile 13 minutes now after the hour. turning to the white house. huge ongoing situation weather obstruction would be good news for the people in afghanistan as the biden administration official officially admits something that we noticed from the outside, on the inside they are appalled and horrified over the president's handling of afghanistan even the president isn't, he yelled at us for half an hour two days ago. peter doocy with the new stunning report and i imagine, peter, to a degree, you guys think there's more coming out? >> it's possible because, remember, with policies addressing the other big crisis this white house face, covid-19, we never heard anybody that works here come to bad mouth the president. that has now change. i'm absolutely appalled and

literally horrified we left americans there. it was a hostage rescue of thousands of americans and guys of neo, noncombatant operation and we have failed the mission. >> the withdrawal was a circus parade of bad decisions, some of my colleagues in washington are trying to spin it otherwise, sean, but this one is unspinnable. you can put perfume on a big but it still stinks. peter: taliban fighters that staged a mock funeral for the u.s. seen on screen could be the pentagon's partners. >> in war you do what you must in order to reduce risk to mission and force and not what you necessary want to do. >> any possibility of coordination against isisk? >> it's possible. >> the white house is not giving us details of private call

president biden and ghani. president biden told ghani that you have to create the perception is taliban is not surging right now even if it is not true. you can tell game plan against the taliban, u.s. air support can continue. that's a u.s. president threatening to withhold military aid from a foreign leader unless that foreign leader does something for them. if that sounds similar, basically same story line that they used to impeach the previous president after a call with ukraine. back to you. steve: that's exactly right. apparently republicans wanted to read into the official record of the house of representatives the names of the 13 americans lost this past week in afghanistan, but apparently the democrats would not allow it.

congressman carlos giménez just tweeted, how bad do nancy pelosi and the house democrats, this was a day ago, want to cover this afghan debacle? they just blocked members of congress from reading the names of service members that sacrificed their lives in afghanistan last week. don't you think our military deserves better? ainsley: why in the world would they say no to these. 13 americans that risked everything and paid the ultimate sacrifice and nancy pelosi and the democrats say, no, you can't read their names. steve: it's that simple, just their names. ainsley: they say the majority are still left in afghanistan. ken cuccinelli said the ones that did get out, 24,000 afghans are coming to america or have entered america, the vetting process is not going to be able

to be done precisely because he says it's a 14-step process. he said it takes 18 months to 2 years and he said we had about 18,000 afghans over there that helped us. we brought them and many of their families back here to america and he said it's just not realistically to think that he with vet them all to make sure they are all our friends, all our allies, brian. brian: the thing is, you know, we did not know the afghan army was going to collapse, we didn't know that had man force against 75,000. they did not know and no idea it was time to go to the hamptons if you were secretary of state. it was time for jen psaki to put do not reply among vacation on her e-mail. we thought they were totally caught by surprised and you read the transcript of this reuters report that nobody said is not accurate and you say things like, hey, the optics aren't

good to president ghani. much of the call biden focused on what he called the afghan government's perception problem. i need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of afghanistan. i believe that things are not going well in terms against -- of fight against the taliban. excuse me, are you projecting -- are you telling ghani to lie because later in the call he says i need air power, i'm being overrun by the terrorist groups that are coming in the south. i can't do anything, you have left and he denies it. so you're upset about the ukrainian call, ironically zelensky is in. we can debate that at another time. this to me beyond debate is worse because people died, tens of thousands are running for their lives right now and

secretary of state blinken is in the hamptons. ainsley: sorry, the taliban has our weapons and dancing around and parading with our hump v's and helicopters. steve: the republicans just want the read the names of the 12 -- rather 13 brave americans and the democrats will not let them. ainsley: they deserve that. steve: all right, still ahead on this thursday, as is our top story, historic flooding, reminiscence of ida remembering havoc. looks like a disaster city but that's new york city. ainsley: john snyder among those hit hard in the storm in louisiana and he will join us live with the efforts to help others impacted.

every single day, we're all getting a little bit better. we're better cooks... better neighbors... hi. i've got this until you get back. better parents... and better friends. no! no! that's why comcast works around the clock constantly improving america's largest gig-speed broadband network. and just doubled the capacity here. how do things look on your end? -perfect! because we're building a better network every single day.

ainsley: we are back with fox news alert. at least 9 people are dead after historic flooding across the northeast. subway service across new york city coming to a stop overnight. search and rescue crews are desperately searching for two people in new jersey. we will bring you more as we learn it all day on fox news channel. meantime portland man sentence today 15 months in prison for lighting fires at an oregon justice center during george floyd's protests last year. edward was part of the group that broke windows, spray-painted the office, damaged computers and set fire on the night of the arson, hundreds of people at the justice center including nearly 300 inmates, doj is calling his sentence, quote, well deserved. this la couple you're about to see is on the run after being convicted of frauding the government out of $18 million in

covid relief funds. the couple was found guilty of submitting fraudulent loan applications for the paycheck protection program. they used the money for down payments on luxury homes, jewelry and more and they cut off ankle monitors on sunday and haven't been seen since. they are due to be sentenced next month. simple but powerful message praised nationwide. rachel developing what she calls the handle with care system for her students. he gave parents this memo telling them to text her, quote, handle with care, so she can get extra support and space to students that are going through a tough time. she says the pay helps students thrive. ainsley: cdc is warning the unvaccinated do not need to travel this holiday weekend. >> given where we are with transmission right now, people need to take risks into their

own consideration if they are thinking about traveling. first and foremost if you're unvaccinated we recommend you not traveling. ainsley: two top fda officials are resigning over push for booster according to politico. much of the discord within the agency centers on administration to push ahead with boosters before fda top scientists had a chance to weigh in. fox news medical contributor dr. saphier. >> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: what do you recommend over travels over the labor day weekend? >> we cannot continue to base recommendations on new cases as many of them are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. what we need to do is listen, there's a lot of sars-q in every community but not every

community is the same. at some point we need to move forward. we know that people tend to get infected when they travel and that's not necessarily because of the airplanes because they tend to congregate indoors with family and friends they are visiting. now you can get rapid tests in any on the corner pharmacies. be responsible about it. we know a lot more about the virus than a year ago and people know how to protect themselves and their family. ainsley: we talked about fda, vaccine regulators. they think the white house is pushing the booster and not in agreement because it hasn't been fda approved. what are you recommending to your patients? doctor: at this point, ainsley, i can tell you that the white house needs to discipline the cdc for complete failure as an organization to effectively collect and evaluate real-world

data as it pertains just about everything covid-19. they really have failed us in this aspect. when it comes to boosters, last month we had the fda say that at this point they are authorizing the immunocompromised can get vaccine. this makes sense. israel is doing it, france just started doing it as well as the united states. over a million boosters have been given. now is there data there that helps, there's lab data that it can increase their antibody and whether or not it improves clinical outcomes, we don't know yet. that's the data we need to look at. the data supporting booster shots is just not there yet, the cdc needs to be looking at the data. will the booster shots actually safe more lives and prevent more hospitalizations because even though the vaccine efficacy is decreasing over time, it is still remarkable at preventing

hospitalization and death and everyone who is vaccinated and one other thing that i want to point out the cdc does not acknowledge natural immunity and france does. we can start moving forward as a nation. there may be booster shots in some people's futures but not everyone. ainsley: dr. saphier, thanks for coming on. dukes of hazard actor john snyder is next to help people impacted by hurricane ida. the taliban equipped with arsenal of american made weapons and group of navy seals share their thoughts on chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan.

ainsley: we are back with fox news alert. you are looking live at bridge port, pennsylvania as search and rescue crews perform water rescues following historic flooding overnight. brian: at least 9 people are dead and two are missing in new

jersey. steve: yeah, look at this. oh, my goodness. the storm spawning a number of tornadoes across maryland, pennsylvania and new jersey as well. let's check in with meteorologist janice dean for fox weather forecast. janice, the storm is and i'm looking over your shoulder, it's out of our area now, it's up the coast but now as the sun comes up, it's time to look at the damage. janice: right, and we are getting reports of, you know, flooding damage, reports of over 10 inches of rainfall and you have to know that this happened within matter of hours and that's why it's so historic. central park 3 and a half inches of rain in an hour. that's going to cause massive amounts of flooding. you're seeing the video from the subways and, of course, we have high-water rescues that are going on across the northeast. this was an unprecedented event. i will say it was well forecasted because we were expecting extreme weather including perhaps record-setting rainfall and the tornado reports

which we have several of. national weather service is going to seases the damage in new jersey, in maryland, outside of philadelphia, new jersey, so this was another, you know, big story, big part of the story, some of the visuals on social media of wedged tornadoes moving through new jersey near a bridge were quite incredible and these are live images that we are getting in pennsylvania where we've got, you know, rescue crews going out, people are on top of their homes, that's why we always say, you know, listen to local officials, don't go outside, don't travel on roadways, you can't see the bottom of because the rescue crews have to get out and -- and do their job, right, and if we have people out there like looking at things and being outside when they really shouldn't be, that hinders our first responders and that's really important as well. we will continue to follow the story obviously still developing and the rainfall totals are really incredible across the northeast, not even a named

storm, right, it doesn't take a named storm or a hurricane to cause this type of damage, back to you. steve: all right, janice, thank you very much. as we look at the water rescues that are going on in pennsylvania, we had live pictures, the water is pretty much up to the top. see the brown top roof right there, that's one story. it's almost one story deep and you can tell, i mean, look at how brown the water is. it's the dirt from the area and the river that's overflooded. this is historic. ainsley: brian, steve and viewers listening. i was up last night watching on social media and reading articles and looking at videos, people are sending in so many videos because they were trying to get into the city last night in the highways of long island and new jersey. many had to leave their cars and i guess get picked up from someone or walk to nearest exit but people were stranded. i had a friend stranded 4 to 5

hours stranded on the highway. if you look at the video of cars stranded on the highway. the water is all the way to the top of the doors, to the windows. i don't know if the cars are going to work after they went through all of this. janice and the weather center kept preparing for all of us this but in the northeast we don't really expect this. down in louisiana, charleston, south carolina it gets flooded a lot. we didn't expect it on the highways, right, brian, you tried to get into work today and turned around because you were told not to come in. brian: yeah, because they -- they said it was impassable, shut it down at 5:00. that's in the going to work for the show if i can't get close to 5:00 and they get into this -- if you don't take a bridge you take a tunnel, the testimonies go down and many people wonder, should i be going into the lincoln tunnel or midtown tunnel. does that make any sense, is

anything really that important and a lot of people said no. i went to look for trains, they didn't even try. they said we are not doing it. steve: real quick, jillian, you have a connection to that area. jillian: my dad's business is in bridgeport, pennsylvania, his business is okay but he has been having the hardest time to get into work because everything around there is just closed off and -- brian: your dad works in that town? jillian: bridgeport, if you are in pennsylvania, you know the river. and my dad that things haven't crested yet. it's just a nightmare. steve: rough morning. ainsley: the water is brown. steve: we hope he's okay. ainsley: and business is okay too. they might reopen subway at noon today. you were showing me pictures of

train cars full of water. steve: the destruction we are seeing now in the northeast comes days after ida made landfall famously in louisiana. dukes of hazard star john pictured right there fortunately was not home when the storm plowed through his area leaving house and studio damaged and look at that a tree on top of the iconic general lee cars from the tv show and john schneider from louisiana. john, i know -- listen, i know that you and your family are having the worst time. i think you were in nashville when the storm came to shore. >> we were in part of tennessee. well, we were gathering supplies and things for the folks in

waverley. looks like the folks in waverley may be hit again. we are going to drive back to tennessee this afternoon so we can distribute the stuff tomorrow. you can't stop humanitarian act because a tree falls on your house. you have to do what you said you were going to do. we had a pretty rough time here but ida hit landfall in louisiana. one report i saw a cat 5 which is the worst it's ever happened here. i didn't have any service, we won't have electricity for six weeks, but that's not the worst of it, what's happening now is in 2016 we had a -- the flood waters on the river where we live got to 22 feet. well, according to the national weather at about 6:00 o'clock this evening, the water is going

to be at 21.6. that's only 6 inches below the worst flood ever where i'm sitting right now. so those waters are on their way from the storm that is happening up north. it's just a mess but when i look at what you were just showing, by the way, those are community people coming out to help. we need to throw away all this bs about division. we need to remain united. the biggest strength we have in this country is ourselves. we need to do this and stay like this, throw all this other hogwash away because as you can see, we need each other desperately. steve: absolutely. >> we don't need the government coming in and by the way i call

this -- we had hurricane, we are about to have a flood and we are about to have probably the worst natural disaster that can be because apparently biden is going to come show his face in louisiana and i wish he wouldn't, i wish he wouldn't. we have more problems on our hands. we don't need him. obviously there are things going on in this country, people need your prayer and need your help. they need you to be a friend. steve: well, with the president coming that means he will bring disaster relief and that's what your state does need. john, as we look at the flooding historic all over the place, when it comes to you and we saw how your place is damaged and endeavor stated, how -- how can folks watch and help? you've been helping raise money for other disaster victims. how can we help you? >> well, thank you.

i'm never one to ask for help but i tell you what, that picture you saw, that's our store. so if you enjoyed dukes, if i made you smile in the last 42 years, go to johnschneiderstudios.com. get yourself a movie, get yourself some music, get something. our sites -- we are having a lot of traffic, thankfully. try more than once. you also have option to rent a movie. be a good neighbor. appreciate it. bye, bye. steve: good luck to you and your family and everyone else suffering right now, once again john schneiderstudios.com. the president under fire of

jillian: we are back with fox news alert. you are looking live at bridgeport, pennsylvania as search and rescue crews perform water rescues. 9 people are dead in new york and new jersey. the storm spawning several tornadoes in maryland, pennsylvania and new jersey. fox news channel will keep you updated throughout the date. brian: departure of last u.s. soldier in afghanistan days after 9/11. 20 years later the taliban back in control of the country. provided a safe haven and once again for al-qaeda extremists, terrorists, our next guest served on the front line of war

on terror, they are not done serving, they are running for congress, retired david duke for the 47th congressional district. eli running for arizona's first district and morgan latrel, multiple tours in iraq and afghanistan and wants to represent texas eighth congressional district. former navy seal commander, former congressman, interior secretary ryan zinke is running again now in montano second district. the president of the united states says the chaos with the dismount from the country was unavoidable, do you agree? >> i do not. we abandoned our allies and we have abandoned our citizens and we are disgusted at our actions and this president and the cabinet are responsible and accountable. i'm sad for the loss of life and liberty and i'm angry because it

was beth predictable and preventible. brian: morgan, looks like the chairman of chiefs of staff is open to talking to taliban an combined efforts to take outer risk groups. are you ready to get over it with the taliban? >> am i ready to get over it, no. i think we are in a bad spot right now. i'm disappointed in the administration. i concur with commander zimke's remarks. my heart goes out for those lives lost most recently and the members of all of those who have fallen before. i think the taliban is not to be trusted as it never was to be trusted and most certainly we need to be taking a hard look of what's happening over there and most certainly get our people. brian: brady, the president of the united states didn't see the advantage of having a counterterrorist force out there

in a huge base like bagram or other six bases. was it time to get out? >> absolutely not. i think we were there providing necessary support and security for our afghan allies and for us to quite literally abandon them as well as u.s. citizens within that country is absolutely un-american. this was -- this was not executed properly. i'm quite frankly disgusted and very angered by the handling of this and this was a strategic failure. brian: eli, the president of the united states got a phone call and he was talking to ghani and he said i need air power because terrorists are pouring in from pakistan. he was basically denied that. would air power have made a difference? well, i think air power would have made a difference and, you know, i can't help but be disgusted like my other colleagues here on how we

handled the situation and i can't help to think about the other implications around the world that this messaging sends that our execution sends to some of our allies like israel and taiwan and furthermore the message that we are sending to bad actors in the world like iran and china that would love to come in and harm our allies. america just became a lot more dangerous, the world became a lot more dangerous and i don't think this administration has any ability to handle it. brian: managerran, are you shocked that a commander like general milley or secretary of defense would be talking to ghani about perceptions and optics instead of tactics? >> i think this administration is going into damage control and doing everything they can to remedy the problem and they are not doing it correctly, honestly. brian: what is it like for you and your family to see this?

>> it's -- it's challenging especially my brother and i both having served over there but one thing that i like to tell -- we have been filling calls. as painful as it is, hold your head high, this is mission success for us. there was never an opportunity for us to spike the football. for those that lost, may god put peace in your heart and know that your loved ones and sacrifice was so others may live. brian: understood. now you guys aren't done serving. i want to everyone to get to weigh in while you're running. ryan zinke, you have done this before, why go back? >> as much as i disdain election in dci love my country and it's

fixable. we have to rise as american people and we have to pump the brakes on what's happening. you look at afghanistan on the foreign side, you look at domestically, inflation, begging opec for oil. we have no southern border. america is time to wake up and pump the brakes. we have seals, special forces rising to the occasion. sealpack.org and ryanzinke.com. follow us because we will take back america, folks. we will pump the brakes and stop this nonsense. brian: brady, you want to go back too but you want to serve in a suit this time. real quick, what's your message? >> my message is that the american family is important. security for america is important. you know, we have to do what we can for the american family. we have to secure our border. we have to hold a strong position strategically with our military. we are the strongest military in the world and we -- we have a

duty and responsibility to do that and we should serve with honor. you know, i'm going to do everything that i can in my power to fight in congress for the american family. brian: eli, you're in a tough district, district in arizona. we discussed this. are you convinced this mission is worth the fight? >> this mission has always been worth the fight. this country has always been great and it needs men and women with courage and character to stand up again and say we are not done fighting for it because if you're not willing to fight for it, then you don't deserve it. you guys want to go support what we are doing go to eliforarizona.com. i have little kids and i know that you do as well. they deserve to grow up with the same amount of freedom and prosperity that you did. god bless you guys. brian: got it. you want kevin brady's seat, why? >> we have to have proper

representation up in dc to create a defensive posture and it's -- it's time in our country, we are so far off the rails that the men like us need to come out, come out of the shadows, come out of retirement and defend what we believe in. our mission now is america and we are going to win. brian: you guys can't destroy the target. you want to win over the argument and i think we are better off with you guys wearing suits and fighting because you already sacrificed so much. thanks to all of you. best of luck. >> thanks, brian, god bless. brian: back at you. best of luck the rest of the way, guys. we are staying on top of the news, breaking news. historic flooding across the northeast tonight. you're looking live at our first responders perform water rescues. you saw this earlier in bridgeport, pennsylvania. jillian. jillian: my dad has his business in bridgeport, pennsylvania, his business is okay, he made it into work, took 2 hours, normally takes 30 minutes.

he says bridgeport is a low-lying town. we are getting reports of so many of the towns along the rivers that are just inundated with the flood waters as you're taking a look at people on their roofs calling for help. ainsley: are you familiar with this? jillian: that's not a marina. it's a neighborhood. ainsley: they have a lot of boats. steve: boats today because of this. jillian: my dad drove past tornado and he said he has never seen damage like he did this morning. took him 2 hours to get to work. downed power lines, downed trees, snapped trees, the flooding in bridge port has never been as bad as it is right now. ainsley: they are rescuing people from windows. we saw the raft with a lot of people on it rescuing someone, they are pulling them out of the

windows. steve: so many of the people who have died, died inside their houses, they did not realize the flood waters were going to come up that fast and next thing you know they are trapped inside and in some cases the first floor completely under water and that's what these people are trying to do. as we have heard, apparently there's number of river that is have not crested yet and that means the worst is yet to come, jillian. jillian: if you're familiar with the philadelphia area, iconic images, right by the river. a lot of the towns that butt up against the river -- >> ainsley: 9 people died, one was a 2-year-old. i hope it doesn't rise. steve: your dad got to work. i don't know that much work will be done today because many places do not have electricity. the airlines are paralyzed.

transit, subways, they cannot turn them on because of the third rail. it's electrified and that means it's unsafe to be in the subways. ainsley: people stranded for 5 hours on the highway. steve: we will see you back here tomorrow. america newsroom start right now
