>> friday september 3rd, fox news alert, the biden administration dodging questions refused to elaborate for afghan refugees coming into the us. >> biden's approval rating taking to the list point of his presidency but his allies in the media coming to his defense. >> board of regents call it a slap in the face as the white house works to secure the border of foreign countries but not our own. jillian: you are watching "fox and friends first". todd: a live look on capitol hill where gop lawmakers demanding answers from president biden on evacuations from afghanistan.
2:01 am
>> thousands of refugees arrive in the us. lawmakers losing patience with the president. >> a group of 2 dozen republican senators pressing the biden administration for answers as to who was left behind in afghanistan, who was not able to make it out before us forces left and we are hearing from afghans loyal to the us cause who remain in the country. >> we feel abandoned because we are fighting a war against terror but we have no allies, the last are many us allies, not being supported, no one by our side to help us against transnational terrorism. todd: standing for freedom, standing against extremism, they know the taliban equals al qaeda and terrorism that happens in

afghanistan doesn't stay in afghanistan. >> reporter: is more afghans arrive in the us we are learning more from the department of homeland security about the vetting process. is forgetting americans another afghans out without us forces on the ground the white house is focused on help from the taliban and. >> did not reduce sanctions or significant restrictions on access to the financial system. they would judge the taliban by their actions with any steps we take moving forward. >> the white house continues to be leave the us will hold sway over the taliban and years ahead. >> if you've noticed something in the coverage of afghanistan i think we would all agree by and
2:03 am
large the media asked tough questions even though it chipped away at president biden and the white house's credibility to handle a major geopolitical situation but they did ask the questions. that said when it comes to this controversial phone call with the afghan president we have seen that cocoon forming once again around president biden. here's what mike huckabee had to say about that. >> i may going to step it be journalists, either going to be toadies and complete acolytes for the democrats and the far left? if they do their jobs they cannot ignore this story. it is huge but the question is will they do their jobs or will they just look the other way in a manner in which they would never do if this were not just donald trump but any republican. if they do their jobs he is done. jillian: we show you a second ago, teasing a little but look at this.
2:04 am
media coverage of the biden ghani phone call, 0 seconds on nbc, cnn, nbc, it is mind blowing when you see 0 seconds on this phone call compared to how much the trump ukraine phone call was discussed forever. it really does, that is something. that says something. todd: almost like the media said what is happening in afghanistan is an defensible. first time we find something we can defend this white house on we are going to do it and it will be in the form of 0s across the board like you saw but we saw signs of the democratic spin machine known as the mainstream media back off the mat to protect president biden started with chris hayes from msnbc downplaying the call and rachel
2:05 am
maddow completely ignoring the entire afghanistan debacle despite the fact that as we know 13 americans died defending our freedom in afghanistan and not a mention of them yesterday. jillian: don lemon said the administration's been up on this too much because there's a lot of blame to go around. there is a lot of blame from previous administrations to go around but doesn't mean, stop asking questions the american people deserve the answers to. at the end of the day it is about our safety and freedom and how feel protected at home in light of the 20 year anniversary of 9/11 coming up in a short time and what our relationships are on the world stage. those are big things we don't have the questions to.
2:06 am
>> there are americans stranded. we need to keep pressing the white house on that. we should know the number and it is more than 100. everything we've heard from says more than 100, what the white house is putting out the why -- of they are trying to protect president biden these numbers don't look good to do that. take a look at this, his approval rating hit a new low, 43% approve, 51% disapprove. we saw these numbers decrease over the time but with the situation in afghanistan hitting news every day those numbers have dropped. here is leo terrel on why it will hurt the white house when it comes time to vote. >> it is one 23, afghanistan, notwithstanding, people will never forget afghanistan.
2:07 am
look at the southern border, a total disaster. numbers 3, democrats refusal to acknowledge the massive crime wave that started in 2020. complete disaster, of crime in democratic cities, the top 3 issues that will drive americans to the polls and reject the nancy pelosi congress and the biden administration. todd: i don't think crime is going away. it will be on the table for republicans to take advantage of terms. and how republicans handle afghanistan it is heavy in the news. unfortunately, it could be heavy in the news, god for bid we have a terror attack. this is what we've been talking about, the threat of that coming to the homeland and that is

completely leveled, you are looking at grand isle louisiana, the president will survey the destruction in louisiana as 849,000 people there are without power. but the president and senate majority leader chuck schumer using ida to push their climate change agenda. >> the past few days of hurricane ida, wildfires in the west, unprecedented flash floods in new york and new jersey another reminder these extreme storms in the climate crisis are here. >> global warming is upon us. when you get two record rain falls in a week it is not just coincidence. >> reporter: schumer touting the climate provisions in the infrastructure package which could reduce its awful effect on the country. 9 minutes after the hour of fox news alert after and isis inspired little wolf attack in new zealand overnight and americans are being warned about the active threats here at home.

2:15 am
>> the caliban taking by afghanistan, in military equipment, small arms and extremists have a safe haven in afghanistan. i don't think any american should feel safer today than a couple weeks ago. todd: going a step further as a member of the homeland security committee, are you willing to go so far as to say it is a matter of if and not when, it is a matter of not a matter of if but when there is going to be a terror attack on american soil because of this pull out? >> that is inevitable. not only we have a debacle in afghanistan but on the southern border, hundreds of thousands of immigrants coming through and we have people on a terror watch list so it is a matter of when,
2:16 am
not if, we have to be very vigilant and i don't have that much faith in the biden administration to keep americans safe. >> blocking taxpayer dollars from the talent band. florida congressman michael walsh articulating the problem. >> we stop the administration from recognizing the taliban as a legitimate government for the reasons you listed. it is illegal. they are going to backdoor ransom payments in the form of humanitarian aid and stop that too. todd: seems like a no-brainer why would any democrat oppose this? >> we will see. i crafted a simple bill that says no taxpayer money, no aid to the caliban, it cannot be
2:17 am
direct or indirect, it is a simple bill, everybody should be 43520, nobody in the house should oppose it but i have my doubts it will make it to the floor for a vote. we will see how nancy pelosi stacks up on this one. jillian: the mask debate rages on in florida. california epidemiology professor blasts cdc guidance calling for kids age 2 it up to be masked at school. look at this quote from the atlanta, the downsides of masking young students are real. it reads, quote, in the absence of research on the cost benefits of mask requirements the issue has been transformed into a right left political battle. no scientific consensus exists about the wisdom of mandatory masking rules for schoolchildren. many people feel that is real,
2:18 am
this has become a right left political battle. it seems everything with covid 19 has become that way, it seems we are not getting to the heart of the facts and the truth when everything is so divided. >> i agree with that and there is no scientific consensus. even the cdc has given conflicting guidance to adults when the pandemic started, they said masks weren't effective, two weeks later they change their mind and said masks are effective, there is no evidence that said masks are effective with kids especially kids that young. do you really expect them to keep their mask all the time to do it the right way, have the masks on the right way even if they are effective so the problem all these masking mandates gives a false sense of security to the unvaccinated and
2:19 am
this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we've got to get as many people as possible vaccinated even though we know kids cannot but the efficiency and efficacy of masks, there's no scientific facts to it and debate rages, should be up to the parents to decide. >> thanks for waking up early. >> 19 after the hour, the lawyer for the parkland school shooter blocked prosecutors from calling him a killer as he stands trial for the 2018 shooting. >> the father of one of the students reacts next. do i need to pretreat my laundry? nope! with tide pods, you don't need to worry. the pre-treaters are built in. tide pods dissolve even when the water is freezing.

rushing floodwaters. >> is the damage left by 7 tornadoes in pennsylvania and new jersey. janice dean joins us with the latest fox weather forecast. this was heartbreaking to see the death and destruction the storm caused. >> janice: the forecasters did what we were supposed to do, warned people in advance. i think people need to know what to do when there's a flash flood. that can come so quickly and if you don't have a plan or know what to do you will panic and that is what happened. we had record-breaking rainfall across the northeast, what is left divide and storm totals were crazy, 10 inches plus over parts of have only populated areas, millions of people, not a lot of them are prepared, didn't think it would come true but we
2:25 am
will do our best to bring the latest in the forecast and we are into hurricane season so you can't let your guard down, still have stuff going on in the gulf and the atlantic, past 24 hours, a beautiful day in the northeast with cooler temperatures, very fall like. we have a front moving across the plane states in the midwest, still very hot, hazy, humid for areas that are still trying to get into their homes across the gulf coast and louisiana and mississippi. temperatures will feel over 100 degrees, the power is out for a lot of folks in new orleans so that will be a big concern, temperatures are cooler relatively speaking but still humid and a chance of thunderstorms for the next several days. let's look at this hurricane. this is fred. we hope that it is going to curve northward. bermuda might have a hurricane

east of you but this is, we don't like to see this but we like it not coming close to the us but we are into peak season. there we are. the peak season, these things can come quickly. todd: hopefully this will be official storm as a former meteorologist -- >> janice: that is what we call them. jillian: happy friday. thank you. todd: parkland school shooter nicholas cruz going on fire where he will face the difficulty. 's lawyers seem more concerned he's not subjected to what they are calling inflammatory language. joining me to react, one of the victims of the attack, thank you for being here. what was your reaction when you heard this? >> my first reaction is this is
2:27 am
another unbelievable injustice in this whole long saga, 3 and a half years since my daughter and 16 others were murdered while sitting in school. i can't leave we are arguing about what to call the killer. the only people that don't realize or maybe they do realize who is responsible for this seems to be the defense team. there is no doubt in anyone's mind who perpetrated this massacre and it was a massacre. i sit on the commission that investigated this massacre and i've seen the video and there's no other word to describe this. this was cold-blooded murder of 17 innocent lives. todd: can't imagine having to look at that video, so the audience can understand what we
2:28 am
are talking about, the killer, animal, masquerade execution. those are the, quote, unacceptable terms to defense attorneys don't want you to say in court, the ones they will accept are the defendant, and incidents and tragedy. why the need to protect this monster after what he did to your daughter and so many others? >> it is baffling, heartbreaking, there was no one to protect my daughter that day as he indiscriminately shot into classrooms and students and teachers in the hallway. there was no one to protect them and we are worried about the language in the court room. i have no doubt the prosecutors and the judge will make sure everything is handles with the proper decorum that telling a
2:29 am
witness they can't use certain language to describe what can only be described as a cold-blooded massacre by a heartless cool killer how do you censor that. todd: this part of a pattern. why does our society worry about criminals at the expense of the victims? >> i wish i had an answer, 3 and a half years, i never would have imagined i would be sitting here 3 years since my daughter was murdered still waiting to figure out when the killer is going to be put on trial. this is unbelievable to me. it is as if we've lost our way and don't know how to do the right thing, we are so afraid of appearances and words and
2:30 am
hurting people's feelings that we can't even do what is right and it is a shame. todd: as the father of a little girl myself i don't know how you do this, dealing with the underlying tragedy and stuff like this i don't know how you do it but thank you for sharing your story with us. our condolences. jillian: 30 minutes after the hour. president biden's plunging approval ratings. she thinks there's more than the afghanistan withdrawal impacting them and checking back in with fatima, the american mother who made it out of afghanistan but fighting to get members of her family out. seeing blood when you brush or floss can be a sign of early gum damage.

2:35 am
it is earning to see the biden administration getting serious about border security, too better than another country. biden's plan to secure the border with afghanistan is such to break ground in 2022 and consists of new facilities for border service detachment and housing for their troops. hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants continued to pour into the southern border. a tractor-trailer pull up, numerous migrants, and this is a heartbreaking image emerging of a young girl carrying her younger brother to the desert, sadly the girl and her brother died hours earlier from the blistering heat. something tom homan says he told us last hour. >> i've seen a lot of death in that border. i follow a lot of dead children. i have seen for 34 years and

2:37 am
>> i think the system that has been in place, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak again. the system put in place is a horrible system. i was a high target in afghanistan because i was receiving calls. there was no one to get me, to the airport. a family member, was evacuated from that spot. the system in place is horrible, not working, people are stranded, i don't know which airlift he is talking about.
2:38 am
you have to get to that point. through taliban and checkpoints, military camps, people are stranded, us citizens are left behind, green card holders, allies are left behind, numbers, 100 afghan citizens have been evacuated but we need to look at the real numbers, 250,000 allies still left behind in afghanistan that need to be evacuated because their lives are in danger. >> family members worked with troops on the ground, they are
2:39 am
left behind and in danger and this extreme danger, there are extremist. before the deal was made with the devil and afghanistan was handed on a platter. they were terrorists and they became taliban and. jillian: what is the plan to get your family members out of their? as you know the us military is gone. the us embassy is gone. we are out of that region. what are your family members going to do? >> i have no idea what they are going to do, what is going to happen. to give those people evacuated, their lives are in danger and the decision he made was a really bad decision.
2:40 am
thousands of people's lives in danger. really needs to come up with a stronger plan to get people out because i can't imagine what those people are going through. when i was in afghanistan for 3 days, didn't hear anything from the embassy and that was a nightmare. i feel stranded and trapped and didn't know what to say. i feel for the people that are there, knowing there are no troops, no embassy, no plan to be evacuated. i still have families who are citizens that are there, green cardholders and they are going
2:41 am
through a lot. the decision put in place right now is not working. it helps people get out of afghanistan but has to circle in the air for one hour, nobody is passing out. people passed out because of the heat in the airplane and we were inside the airplane for two hours, couldn't get out because they didn't know what to do with us and our experience in germany, so much pressure because they don't have enough supplies, people are waiting in line for hours and hours. i am not complaining but we were not able to eat for two days.
2:42 am
right now evacuees staying with me in my home. i called the state department, no idea what to do. we don't know, this is something new. the system needs to be put in place for the one stranded in afghanistan and people that are coming here, the deal made in the taliban and what biden was thinking, in afghanistan. >> for your family, i imagine
2:43 am
the exhaustion, doing incredible work by doing that. at some point, to get you on here and see your face and give out your name so people want to help you and do that but first priority is making sure family members, enjoy those kids of yours because you wanted to get back home to them. keep us updated on how everything goes. >> one last thing i would like to add for the afghan nationals living in afghanistan. the front has been frozen. there is no money in afghanistan, waiting to see if the taliban are going to behave

2:47 am
mid-90s and outpacing that. we have these opportunistic politicians and charlatans in the media. they call us murderers outwardly. violence goes up, and it goes through the roof. we as the american public need to make a decision, whether we want law and order and anarchy and chaos on our streets, we can't get back to it. todd: are the american people waking up enough to vote out those politicians that allowed it to get this bad? >> i hope so.
2:48 am
the washington post said the highest number recorded in the last 20 years of people that are concerned about violent crime in america and recent gallup poll that says 81%, 80% of people across that, at home, being ravaged by violent crime and you have politicians calling to ridiculously -- need to vote after that. >> it is the morning show, fire re-passion. >> a double shot and cappuccino. >> appreciate your time. got to vote them out if you want to vote them out. thanks. >> nancy pelosi vowing to take action after the supreme court refuses to block the texas

2:55 am
i think this is ultimately about complete and total control for the democrats. they want central control of our country with the federal government. they don't care about the states' rights. you don't have to take my word for it look what they have actually done. they have been talking about eliminating the filibuster for quite some time. they have been talking about packing the supreme court. what was the first thing that was pushed for the first bill hr-1 this year was to federalize our election system to take away voter i.d. and basically guarantee in perpetuity that democrats would remain in power. so, what nancy pelosi ultimately wants to do here is take the rights away from states to make decisions. that is something that was front and center with our founding fathers. our founders of america. they wanted to ensure that the states would always be in power, the people would be in power. not the federal government. nancy pelosi is trying to take that away. and she doesn't give a rip what the constitution says about it. todd: if you don't take lara's
2:56 am
word for what the democrats are saying here is what aoc tweeted out. democrats are either abolish the filibuster or expand the court or do nothing as millions of people's bodies, rice and lives are sacrificed for far right minority rule. this should not be a difficult decision. lara, should republicans be more worried about these threats to pack the court now that this abortion decision really does seem to be galvanizing liberals? >> well, i think it's something that we always have to pay attention to. it is something that we as americans need to be paying very close attention to. and keeping in mind, as we approach 2022, that midterm election is going to be absolutely vital to the future of our country because what we have very clearly seen as s. that there is nothing that the democrats won't do to try and sand power their very power very southern border. they are very happy with the hundreds of thousands now over a million illegal immigrants that have been flown over our southern border now, they want
2:57 am
those people voting in future elections. they do want to pack the supreme court. and the only way we can stop it is to make sure we vote them out in 2022. jillian: let's talk about the fallout from afghanistan and the way that this withdrawal went down. and the way that it is impacting the approval ratings for the president. let's go ahead and pull them up on the screen here. you can see 51% of people who responded to this disprove, 43% approve. that is pretty bad, lara, what do those numbers say to you. is there any coming back from numbers like that? >> they are pretty bad, but i actually, jillian would like to ask the 43% of people what they approve of? what has joe biden gotten right at all during his presidency? you start at the very beginning the keystone xl pipeline being shut down. basically ensuring that america is no longer energy independent, we are reliant on the middle east and russia for our fuel now. you look at the -- i just
2:58 am
