will: a long weekend for most people across the weekend this country. maybe not us. rachel: i will be a double shift on monday. "fox & friends" monday and hosting prime. pete: all next week, right? rachel: all next week. pete: better than you than me. rachel: you guys are doing it great job. give you a shot, too. will: we have seen you do a great job more than once on that show. we will be watching on monday night. we will be talking off monday. no apologies here. for that morning off. but we start you off this morning with tony blinken who says that everyone in afghanistan is a united states citizen will be accounted for and is in contact with the state department, which is a fascinating concept if you give a moment of thought to it that would mean that you would have an identity or actual number of people who are in afghanistan instance they haven't been able to provide how many people, how many americans are left behind. not quite sure on the answer on

that. we are in contact with all of them. watch. >> we're in constant contact with americans who remain in afghanistan and may still wish to leave. most of the remaining american citizens are duel nationals whose families live there it's no surprise deciding whether or not the place they leave called home is a wrenching decision. we're also in touch with others working to help at risk people leave afghanistan. that includes our foreign partners, news organizations, private foundation. pete: it was exceedingly underwhelming speech. casting a lot of doubt as to the sense of urgency the state department even has. rachel: he doesn't look that worried. he doesn't inspire much confidence. pete: really not at all. that comes after the admission that the vast majority from the state department that the vast majority of siv holders, meaning the people who actually went

through the process and qualified through the vetting process to leave afghanistan because they worked with americans, not just people at risk or people that were vulnerable, worked with americans, the vast majority of those were left behind as well. so you have the vast majority of siv holders. you have americans there. and i can tell you from firsthand experience here i'm in touch with people right now trying to run manifest lists of americans and afghans who cannot get approval from the state department to land in a third country. they literally being told don't move, stay here, shelter in place. and the state department purports to be working on a plan or maybe they want to take credit or maybe they -- maybe the delay is because they are beholden to the taliban? rachel: perhaps. there is a congressman. he is from oklahoma. his name is mark wane mullin and he said that the biden administration fascinating

interview on bret baier last night. here is a clip of him going back and talking about why he believes we won't get everyone out. >> you think we are going to get these people out? >> we're going to get some, but there is going to be some that's going to die because of the failure from president biden. i promise you that. at some point they are going to lose patience and aren't going to keep letting us drive past these checkpoints and paying them off -- sorry, taxes. that's what they call it, tax. and when i say that blood is on his hands? that means the president biden's hands? i mean that with everything in my heart. it's his fault. rachel: it's his fault. pete: and now hearing that the state department is considering some inside the state department considering recognizing the

taliban as the legitimate government there. how long will the taliban use the presence of siv holders and american citizens to leverage, to extort, to tax america in to recognizing them legitimately in exchange for the release of our people who we have done a horrific job bringing home. will: as is no surprise the biden administration has tried to pivot and blame this situation on the trump administration saying backlog of siv holders. whether or not that is true, they had plenty of time to address that situation and/or put off this hurried evacuation. they could have done one thing or the other. and as you point out, there are siv holders who have been approved santiago still sitting on the ground in afghanistan. so you can't shift this blame. you can't put this on somebody else. but the way they are going to try to shift not just the blame, is to shift your attention as well. every single story has pushed afghanistan essentially off the front page. i believe it is now off the front page of the "new york times." so whether or not we are talking about the texas abortion law or delta variant or even the jobs

report, there is anything to distract our attention away from what happened when afghanistan. and by the way, if you want to point to the jobs report, have at it because it wasn't exactly beautiful. pete: that's right. joe biden tried hard yesterday when those numbers were released to spin them advantageously. the "new york post" as it often does put it succinctly labor day weekend spelled just a little bit differently and ultimately america still not working because the projected amount of jobs that were supposed to be added was 728,000. which would have been a big number. which would have been in keeping with some of the growth that we have seen. instead, the number was a third of that, 235,000. and, that's despite the fact there is in this report a record 10.1 million jobsilable. so, literally a record of jobs available in our country yet only 235,000 have joined the job market? i wonder why. rachel: yeah. i wonder why.

president biden is blaming of course the delta variant. other people are saying listen it's because you are paying people not to work. take a look at this clip of him deflecting the blame. >> today's report shows that the steps we have taken passing the rescue plan and vaccinating 175 million people make our economy capable of growing and adding jobs even in the face of this continuing delta surge strength in our economy very different from the way things were last winter. no question the alan dershowitz is why today's job report isn't stronger. i know people are looking and i was hoping for a higher number. rachel: later in that interview, you guys or in that press conference, he said the plan is working. the plan is working. you know, people criticize him for that i actually think he is right. i think he is telling the truth. this is a plan. this is a plan to get people hooked on government because we're basically paying people

not to work become dependent and beholden to the democrat party. just as i think the mess in afghanistan, i also think that's deliberate. you know, they're bringing in all -- it seems to me that the only thing the biden administration seems interested n terms of the whole debacle is the immigration part of it, you know, the refugee part of it and, you know, many of these refugees just like the ones coming across the border have no documentation, again, this is all part of a strategy. we look at it and we go wow, that doesn't make any sense, why would they do it this way? why would you pay people not to work when businesses are dying for workers? there is a plan behind everything these guys do. will: i was just distracted by the left hand side the entire time. rachel: it was a pretty long leg there. will: labor day weekend hard for me to read. you are exactly right. the larger scheme, the larger plan, the larger project is on track.

the larger project is going according to plan. it is redefinition of the relationship between the average citizen and the state. and, look, the delta variant, the pandemic is the forever crisis the excuse for every single wish list on the democratic agenda. it's not going away by the way. meaning they are not going to let go of this pandemic because it is the trojan horse for every single thing that they want. and the truth is the reason job numbers are like this is because of this disincentive put in place in the economy. pete: yes. the extended unemployment benefits and in two days, september 6th, i wonder what the lag will be for when people actually go and get those jobs benefits ending. we will see. does that bleed all the way into the month of september? when you watch the press conference what's the joe biden solution 3.5 flldz green new deal and infrastructure spending. so it's always more money. oh, by the way, inflation continues to rise. and what would be the impact on inflation if you spent that $3.5 trillion? you would make it worse.

entire snowball effect. so, you are right. the consensus we had in the 1990sish the welfare state is not a positive thing on people and human beings entirely gone. one side of the spectrum wants that dependency class. rachel: there is one group of people who are getting a lot of job opportunities and those are people who are flying to private schools as teachers to get jobs as teachers. private schools have added 40,000 jobs and i would say to you guys this is something that the democrats didn't plan on. i thought they thought they could close down. look at that, public schools declining in job numbers. so, i think this is -- you know, we talked about some of the silver linings of covid. one of them was they think the public school union holds on american education was exposed. crt was exposed. a lot of parents said i don't want to be beholden to the unions any more. i don't want my kids to suffer.

i see they don't care about my kids. they care more about politics. this is one of the results of it. i think it's a silver lining. will: do you know what i would like to see and this would be hard because the number of students each year enrolling fluctuates. i would love to know public school and private school and total home schooling enrollment. i would like to see the shifts in those populations over the past year. rachel: the home schooling is up. and interestingly, home schooling is up quite a bit with hispanic and black parents. people who weren't traditionally home coolers. and, again, you are seeing this rise in interest in private schools. here's what's also interesting there was a great op-ed this past week. corey deangela's wrote it in the "wall street journal" check that out. the idea of attaching the money to your child as opposed to an institution as opposed to a system is growing in popularity among democrats. because even democrats are frustrated you can imagine what that number is with independents as well.

pete: you can't under estimate the level of dissatisfaction, frustration almost how trapped parents feel and maybe they're sending their kids to a public school they're i don't. maybe they have already made the change. i do think it's forced a way of parents to re-think how they want their kids educated. rachel: how much do you want to have -- my kids go to private catholic school i that money back and i want to pay for my kids' school. will: now to fox weather, devastation continues to grow in the aftermath of hurricane ida. pete: 63 people now killed in storm related incidents as communities pick up the pieces. rachel: and robert ray is live in new orleans with more on these tragic deaths and president biden's visit to tour the damage, robert? good morning, president biden was on the ground here in louisiana yesterday. he visited la plays, louisiana where he gave remarks and toured. this is really just a situation where over 800,000 people of

people are without power. i'm on the french quarter where power has been restored and new orleans as a whole is not expecting full electricity until mid next week for the surrounding area. they are not even quite sure. but let's listen to what joe biden said yesterday on the ground. >> folks, i know you are hurting. i know you are hurting. i know the folks in lake charles who i visited earlier this year are still hurting from hurricane laura. i want you to know we're going to be here for you. >> yeah, he says they are going to be here for them but i have got to tell you i was in lake charles, louisiana a couple weeks ago. and, as we know, that was battered by two major hurricanes last autumn. i spoke to the mayor a few weeks ago and he says the help hasn't come yet. so we certainly hope that the help not only comes to lake charles but this part of louisiana, the southeastern part of the state. now, guys, i was down in grand ill louisiana about 90 miles to the southwest of looking at the

damage on the ground. we could see some of that video. i have to tell you it is astop issue inning. it takes your breath away. the many natural disasters i have covered i can't say i have seen places that look as bad as that. one of the council men down there says that the 100 percent of the structures are completely danged. over 60%. a total loss. it is completely uninhabitable. and just a scene that no one should have to live through, guys. rachel: robert it, does look devastating. praying for all those people. all right. well, fox weather is coming in october. watch for it. and turning now to your headlines. a father is brutally attacked with a machete on l.a.'s malibu beach. authorities say the father was eating lunch with his family when two homeless men napped they leave. one pulled out a that chety, hitting the man multiple times. he lost an eye and suffered cuts to his face. both suspects were arrested. the l.a. county sheriff says the

suspect who used the machete had threatened a deputy with the knife in the past but was released and only charged with a misdemeanor. again, that was -- that's a beautiful beach. i have gone there many times. hard to believe. covid booster shots may be limited only to those who got the pfizer vaccine. "the washington post" reporting top health officials have told president biden they need more time to complete trials on other boosters. the president promised to start vaccine boosters later this month. according to the cdc, more than 212 million doses of the pfizer vaccine have been given in the u.s. labor day weekend gas prices hit an all-time high in california. the auto club of southern california reporting one regular gallon costing $4.39 on average. that's up $1.15 from just last year. the national average for gas is $3 and $18. californians paid just over 50 cents a gallon in state taxes,

the highest in the nation. those are your headlines. pete: that's what happens when you end the pipeline. rachel: end the pipeline. don't, you know, make sure america is not energy independent. depend on others. will: if you think that's insane i'm about to throw down the ace of spades on insanity. all right? a new app. in australia is using facial recognition and geo location to enforce quarantine. a look at what some say -- some say everyone says. pete: some saying are saying. will: it's an attack on liberty. you have got to hear this insane story coming up. ♪ ♪

clinging or hiding. i knew at that point it was get them to the airport we can get them to leave. so it was just who can help me get them to the airport? who can help me get them in the airport? once that happens, they are going to be alive. they are good to go. pete: wow, najeeb, talk to me about the chaos. talk to me as someone who has served with americans, came to america, now you have family over there, some of which also worked with americans. was it shear desperation? >> well, it's could 00 particular. when i was back from work right after it was horrifying. i was really struggling and panicking because not just my family, there was thousands maybe hundreds of thousands of people, including their families

were at high risk and there were so so many left behind. so, for me it was very chaotic. it was personally about my family. i was just calls. my family members were asking me like hey, what you have done has put news danger now. we are relocating every single day since the taliban have showed up. they have been searching houses. hunting people like you and us down. so,. pete: taliban were looking for you, looking for your brother, looking for your family. what's it like for the people that didn't get out for the people that aren't out that worked with americans? are they being hunted right now? >> well, i'm pretty sure they are, especially in the rural areas where the media is not accessible or they don't have any internet network, anything like that. you cannot see everything.

you cannot just realize how it's going back there a lot of friends a lot of people i know who live in the rural areas including that n. kabul i have been hearing stories followed and there has been searches and in some cases people have been drugged out of their houses and beaten up. if the person himself caught, but definitely their families members or brother. pete: brother as well? >> exactly. yes. pete: greg, we are will the out of time and this is an amazing story we could go on and on but television limits us. ultimately, what is it we have so many other najeebs left behind. as an afghan vet who served and saw how valuable they were to

us, what's your feeling about that you it? >> was heart breaking i need help saving my family. how many americans left behind. it's very heart breaking. it's not what i ever thought would ever happen. and i really wish that it was done a little differently and a lot better to save a lot more folks. i was so lucky to just get in the 15 i got in. that was only 15. i mean there is thousands more. thousands more. pete: we're better than that as a country. thanks to the efforts like you, the people -- a fraction of the people that were supposed to get out did. and that's why we are telling

scene is not uncommon. penal county sheriff mark lamb joins us now i know this is not uncommon because i have friends in the fire department in huma and border patrol in southern arizona. they have been calling me over the last couple weeks saying there has been uptick, of course, because of the arizona heat. in august. this is so tragic. you are seeing this as well, right? more and more of this? >> yeah. this is tragic. my heart goes out to that family. even though they tried to come into this country legally, they are trying to reunite with family. it's tragic to see it but it happens way too often. they are constantly finding bodies. we just had one a week or two ago where a hiker found it we had to go out there and recover the body as well. this is something that we deal with cartel could care less they only care about the money and trafficking humans and drugs into this country. rachel: her husband who is in

the united states believes the cartel abandoned them. i just read the story. i started crying. it was horrible. and in the meantime, border agents are pretty upset. they feel abandoned by this administration. they don't think the administration cares. i agree. and they are especially frustrated because the biden administration seems more concerned with securing tajikistan border than our u.s. border. >> yeah this biden administration doesn't know what the heck they are doing. and that's true. they care more about those places than they do about america. i don't know when the american people are going to wake up to that. the border patrol agents are right to be upset about this we want to control our southern border. those guys want to do their job. their hands are completely tied by this administration who cares more about other people than they do about the americans. rachel: yeah. i mean, we saw the president's lack of empathy on afghanistan the way he treated those gold star families. >> shameful. rachel: shameful. and also here a lack of empathy. his policies directly.

by the way they are doubling down on root causes narrative that this is the way to do it. they are adding $4 billion in aid to central america. tell me, sheriff, really quickly, what was would those $4 billion do to solve this problem if it was giving to building -- you know, finishing up the wall and reinforcing border patrol and their mission? >> it could would go back to what we were doing with president trump which was having success and securing our border. that money would be so, so effective if you just give it to the sheriffs and the border patrol and let gows to work and fix this problem. sending it down to central america only is going to continue corrupt governments, it's a terrible idea. the root cause is joe biden and this administration. and they have got to fix it within their own administration. let us do our job. give us the money. rachel: yeah. i thought we were done with nation building. sheriff mark lamb, thanks so much for bringing attention to

rachel, and not talk about cheese. i got suzanne standing with me. she is won the award. as you know suzanne this is the number one place to win awards for cheese. >> it absolutely is wisconsin consistently wins more awards than any other state or country. we are completely obsessed with making the greatest cheese on the planet. we have been making cheese here since before we were even a state, which is pretty impressive. cheese isn't something that we do in wisconsin. it's really who we are. it's in our blood. '. lawrence: tell me about some of the cheese. my favorite is the smoked gouda. a what is the process and actually in wisconsin you have got to have a license, right? >> yeah, wisconsin is the only state in the u.s. that requires a license to make cheese. we have definitely been leaders in safety and quality forever. but it's also the only place outside of switzerland where you can become a master cheese maker. becoming a master cheese maker takes about 13 years.

lawrence: 13 years? >> these are people truly dedicated to their craft. because when you really really love something, you want to become a master, right? that's what we have here in wisconsin. it's pretty up credible. our entire culture is really built around cheese that's why it's so good. lawrence: we have the carvings of "fox & friends." i have got to know what's the secret to cheese dismuredz everyone wants to make cheese curds but no one gets it right like wisconsin. >> that is exactly true. the secret is making sure they are fresh. it's incredible. because these cheese makers get up at 3:00 a.m., they are making these things and shipping them out to all the locations. people are standing in line to get these fresh squeaky cheese curds. we also serve them deep fried in restaurants. lawrence: got to have them friday. send it back to you in new york where you have the whering job. i have the fun job. rachel: i don't know much about football, lawrence but i do know about cheese curds. she is right they are fresh when they squeak when you bite into

them. when you fry them beer battered then fried and dipped in ranch. lawrence: the beer is the key. rachel: tell suzanne we love her display it's gorgeous. pete: it's amazing. lawrence: they love the display. wisconsin. will: i'm taking wisconsin minus five and a half against ppe state. noon on fox. pete: i'm having cheese kurds this weekend. i'm going to the minnesota state fair where, we have wisconsin cheese curds. it's the first thing i eat when i get to the fairer time a bucket of cheese curds. rachel: i have been to the minnesota state fair and best one in the country. pete: only thing we have good. will: i feel like the segment was supposed to be about football. pete: football on fox coming up. that's the point we never quite got to. will: still ahead a video of a new york city mayoral candidate embracing a homeless man goes viral. he joins us next on the heart felt moment.

disturbed homeless people everywhere. i see them on the spark and streets. they are lost souls. they are a danger to themselves and everyone else. people naturally are afraid of them because they can be very intimidating. our city here. our mayor, bill de blasio. has released them into the streets with no care. he has been a program supposedly that was to care for them called thrive that has spent 1 and a quarter billion dollars of our tax dollars and gotten no results. so, we have got to give these men and women compassion. it's something i have done as leader of the guardian angels. it's something i will continue to do as mayor of the city of new york. rachel: you know, curtis, i watched that video, and i was so struck by not just your compassion but that you afforded him the dignity that he deserved as a human. and i know you're running for office. and i am not from new york.

i wish i could vote for you. because that's the kind of attitude and love and compassion that we need in politicians. how do we get more of that? >> well, you have to inspire those running for politics not to listen to their consultants but to leave the suites and get out into the streets. now that can be somewhat ominous and frightening at times. but the more you do it, the more you will get used to it and i will never forget my father, chester, merchant seaman for 55 years. whenever we would see homeless or emotionally disturbed people, curtis, there by the grace of god could go you at any moment, at any time at any place. become passionate to these people. and you can actually see a number of videos where you will see me in action. this is what i do all the time. at curtis sliwa for mayor.com. that's curtis sliwa for mayor.com. pete: you can't fake the kind of composure that comes out in a moment like that, curtis. it's clear it's something you

[laughter] rachel: there is a lot of stuff said about us online, guys.

pete: that's true let them chatter. >> we have glad you are here with us on "fox & friends." still have three more hours. at least 63 people have died after hurricane ida ripped through louisiana all the way up to the northeast. will: new york announcing new emergency measures after devastating flooding as clean ups get underway. rachel: ashley strohmier joins us live from outside a queens gas station that was destroyed in the storm. what's latest, ashley? >> yeah, so, guys, good morning, when we got out here, like you said, rachel, at the exxon mobil in queens you you can see behind me that the roof is collapsed. we couldn't get around this fence right here because the people who are working in it said it just is unstable to be quite honest. not safe to be in there underneath that roof, you can actually see that there were cars at the pumps that were smashed by the roof of this gas station not only that it doesn't smell -- makes any sense as far

as gasoline is concerned. it's not safe. i'm assuming that that's why if you hear this truck next to me. pump trucks, construction people coming in and out of this area. but, like i said, it's not safe to show you the rest of the damage behind this collapsed roof. but, there is new shocking video that shows floodwaters that caused a wall to collapse and home triangle a teen and his mother inside their basement. the floodwaters was so strong it caused the wall to buckle sending the water to rush through the basement. the teen and his mother were able to escape and they are both okay. in about 30 minutes away in manville, new jersey, airline video show as completely flooded home on fire after a gas leak caused an explosion. thick black smoke filled the air at first, first responders were saving people from floodwaters just nearby. the fire was put out but the home was completely destroyed and then another fire broke out at a banquet hall near the home. investigators believe it was also caused by a gas leak

exposure. so far there is no word on whether anyone was hurt. and either of those fires, i do want to reiterate that, you know, situations like this, when i pulled up, obviously obviously the remnants of ida, are i have covered tornadoes in my past of reporting, this to me looks like something that a tornado had done in the past to gas stations strange to see this come from remnants of ida it's not structurally sound as you see behind me and working to get this cleaned up. back to you guys. will: okay, ashley, thank you so much. rachel: thank you ashley. will: terrifying video of that wall coming down and floodwaters rising. pete pete i didn't see ida coming. up near in the northeast. i think that's why it was deadly and as bad as it was. it as hurricane got a ton of attention down there and made its way up to the east coast. i remember turning to my wife wow, it's rained really hard. so dumb for me to say now.

ultimately i think a lot of people are caught a little off guard with how much rain came down. rachel: didn't think about how dangerous those basement arms are. >> those are will get a lot of scrutiny. will: president biden getting a lot of scrutiny. his poll numbers have gone under water. right now his approval rating is below his disapproval rating by something like seven points. i believe we can actually show this on the screen right now. his approval rating is 43%. his disapproval rating is 51%. this is a big drop from where he was just in august. so we're talking about the beginning of september here. big drop in approval rating. why is that? it could be because of a very bad month of not just headlines but real world events taking place. rachel: afghanistan. by the way, foreign policy was supposed to be president joe biden's strength. but, the way that this was

handled was so embarrassing. and so humiliating. this week we had on my podcast we had ric grenell on. by the way it's going to drop today. had a fascinating conversation with him. i'm still trying to figure out how we ended up leaving afghanistan while arming the taliban with all these weapons who approved that? i was talking to rick and saying donald trump, one of the things about him was he was notoriously cheap with the american taxpayer dollar. i asked him can you imagine donald trump, you know him well, could you imagine him leaving afghanistan and leaving the taliban this amount, billions and billions of dollars worth of american equipment? ened he said to me something so fascinating. he said he was in the room when we were pulling our stuff out of iraq with the president and he there in the room calling the military. president trump said i want every last tent. those talents good. i want those tent back.

and anything that you can't logistically fold up and wring back to us, i want it destroyed. so he was in the room when that happened. how did this happen because. pete: a thousand uparmoured vehicles that can resist mines. they have 16,000 night vision goggles, they have our biometric data. over 100,000 tactical crews. over 100,000 machine guns to be differentiated from an a rifle. chinooks. 22,000 humvees. rachel: i said that wrong chinooks. and then it indangers the afghans who fought with us who know how who fly those helicopters because they have to capture those guys. pete: so basic now if you knew where any of those things were you would drop a hell fire missile. will: won't know where they are

going forward. rachel: why hasn't somebody been fired for it. will: i mentioned real world events. approval rating for joe biden. well, they are being driven by headlines like this. look at "the washington post." afghanistan collapse leaves allies questioning u.s. resolve on other fronts. mr. from politico biden's vision for the border has gone bust but what's plan b? another one from politico, biden's hails strong economic recovery despite disappointing job numbers. a very bad month. i think most of what we are looking at here is driven by what happened in afghanistan. pete: national honor is a real thing when you don't feel like your commander-in-chief is guarding it. then you add on top of it an economy where your money doesn't go as far as and streets live on no longer that safe and a border that is wide open and covid which is supposed to be something he had a high approval rating for, now ultimately, there is just conflicting information and a lot of mandates coming and no -- no solution coming on that. it's a wet blanket on your entire life. and that's why but the

afghanistan thing hits deeper. it hits all of us. in a way that we say we are better than this as americans. rachel: you know, again, another shocking thing was hearing generals calling the taliban our partners. i look at this and think the only thing we partnered with the taliban in doing is humiliating ourselves and embarrassing our military and national honor. we had corey lewandowski on the ingraham angle last night and here's what he had to say. >> >> we had more people working in america than any time in our nation's history. joe biden do? follow the trump policy. he had the opportunity to make sure our economy was booming by following the trump policies. and he reversed all of the great work that president trump did and we're now seeing that and finally the polls are reflecting that. with joe biden's approval numbers finally under water and it's going to continue to get worse. the miss today of the economic

downturn they are blaming on the covid variant. the truth is joe biden wants to pay people to stay home. they should be working. small businesses are being crushed by overgovernment regulation. if this was the trump administration, businesses would be booming again. pete: and generals would be fired and more money would be in your pocket. instead, what are they doing as the crisis persists? trying to pass a $3.5 trillion green new deal that everyone knows went lead to real economic stimulus. it will be artificial in a certain sense. rachel: or infrastructure. i don't believe there is any infrastructure in there. pete: a lot of human infrastructure. rachel: exactly. pete: if you are at the white house you are not looking forward to the future. crime is going to get better or borders going to get better. afghanistan is going to get better. truly think inflation is under control? looking at five alarm fire. duong said it and i think he is right. it's an interesting question. he had a caller call in and say if you were trying to do everything you possibly could to destroy america. would it look any different than what joe biden is doing right now? rachel: i couldn't agree more.

kind of a fair question. will: it is a fair question. pete: american allies still stuck behind enemy lines. speaking of national honor. well, after the deadline for the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan. our next guest a photo journalist working with voice of america is caught in the chaos. for his life as the taliban searches for members of the press he joins us by the phone right now. lemar we won't disclose the rest of your name or location. the u.s. government has been working with you supporting your efforts with the voice of america in afghanistan. why was there no plan to get you out and how many other folks are there like you out there? >> when that was very frustrating moments that time when the u.s. announced that

they were deactivating the u.s. allies and u.s. citizens so we have tried. we have tried to get our own be [inaudible] to get afghanistan. we were heading to kabul to get a chance to be evacuated with our family, but the voice of america was failed to evacuate from afghanistan. we tried many other sources so we didn't get evacuated. that was very bad experience that he were suffering from the situation here in afghanistan. also was i out of province. also there was a taliban in our

[inaudible] will. [broken audio] under the control of taliban. we didn't do anything to evacuate. unfortunately, that didn't happen. will: lemar, why are obviously disguising the rest of your name. we are hiding your face. we are not giving away your location. tell us what's changed in the past week in kabul? what have the companies changed from when american forces have changed from then to now it's in complete taliban control? >> at that time with american forces were and airport there was a chance. are for all of us u.s. allies here in afghanistan. our families there was a hope that we would be escaped from afghanistan but now there is no

chance the airport is closed to international flights and also the borders are closed so, we can't do anything for now. also, the banks are open but there is no money. we are in the great danger ofible poverty. people are suffering from the condition. there is no banks, no money, no businesses. we are also waiting here in kabul in a very bad condition. a small room and we have to pay week by week. i don't know how long it will take. rachel: have you been in touch with anyone from the state department? have they been trying to get you

out since then? >> i'm not in that contact with state department but my friends there in u.s. are trying to get in touch with state department. our office voice of america so they are trying about i think they are hopeless. there is no chance to escape afghanistan for now. so they're waiting, just waiting for the flights and also the documentation for the flights because there is no office left that can get -- give the passport or i.d. so very few offices are open that cannot operate properly so we have to wait to complete our

documents like passports, visas, all the stuff so for now evacuated from afghanistan. it's a very frustrating moment in kabul. we are waiting, the pressure is going on and on so hopefully we will be fine. rachel: we are praying for you. we are hoping this attention might bring attention from u.s. government shame on secretary blinken. shame on everybody these are u.s. government paid employees, voice of america. i can't imagine a bigger target for the taliban and the isis. voice of america journalist. this is absolutely shameful. pete: your voice was heard in america today lee march, thank you for your time i heard the ve

of the man of a family week to week. feels no hope at all. all you cling to is hope. we showed all that footage of the white taliban flag everywhere. over 100 government funded media employees are stuck in afghanistan. many of which are with the voice of america and you said it so well. what bigger target than someone who said i was willing to take u.s. government money and broadcast it throughout afghanistan the contrary message of the taliban? rachel: yeah. you think that the u.s. media would, you know,. pete: great point. rachel: would support other journalists. they would hold the biden administration responsible. this man is sitting in a little room with his family terrified that the taliban is going to knock on his door at any minute he is sitting there like a sitting duck. will: pivoted on. rachel: not just shame on the

u.s. government. shame on the american media. will: turning now to a few additional headlines, starting with this three men behind bars after shooting a 13-year-old girl during a failed robbery attack in texas. mccollum county sheriff says the young victim was hit twice. responding officers used a tourniquet to save her life. facing multiple charges including aggravated robbery. bond has been set at $450,000 each. and planned parenthood in texas protected from the state's abortion law. at least for now. a judge granted the organization a temporary restraining order against a pro-life group who tried to sue it under the heart beat act which went under effect wednesday. the order expires on the 17th it comes as portland mayor ted wheeler says he is considering banning all imports from texas over its abortion law. and the florida diner that told biden to take biden voters to take their business elsewhere had to close temporarily because it was too successful.

the diner says it did not have enough food to keep up with demand after it signed slamming afghanistan withdrawal gained attention. the owner says she has received support from around the world. especially from veterans. the restaurant hopes to open again soon. and those are your headlines. pete: of course. will: ran out of food. pete: i said when i first saw that story they will have more business than they can shake a stick at. if you are a biden supporter you can go sit down and eat no one is going to physically remove you. this isn't the scenario of finding sarah huckabee sanders and kicking her out of the restaurant. this is our view come on in and of course america responds thanks for speaking truth. rachel: absolutely. i think everyone is dying for the truth these days. pete: i think we should do a diner there. rachel: i think that's a great thing to do. pete: today lawrence jones is live in madison, wisconsin for the college football kickoff

♪ rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." a disappointing jobs report as august adds less than half of what experts predicted. but, instead of blaming the severe labor short damage on extended unemployment benefits. president biden says there is a different cause. >> no question the delta variant is why today's job report isn't stronger. i know people were looking and i know i was looking for a higher number. too many have not gotten vableg sin nateed and it's creating a lot of unease around our economy and kitchen tables. rachel: here to react is lydia hu. welcome, lid i can't. >> good morning. rachel: is he right? is it about the delta variant or about his policies that ren couraging people not to go to work? in fact, paying people not to go to work? >> well, good morning, rachel, yeah, that is, of course, the debate. this is a monster mega myth in the jobs report.

they there are other economists throughout who say no this is actually driven by the fact that we still have unemployment benefits being paid something more than 7 million people receiving them. we know unemployment benefits are going to be ending after this weekend. there is no indication that those boosted federal benefits are going to be extended. in any capacity. so the hope is that we'll see those workers that have been relying on those benefits returning to the workforce. you know, rachel, i spent a lot of time for the fox business network talking to small business owners and in particular the restaurant hospitality sector a lot of restaurant owners, they tell me time and time again they have been trying to attract the worker. they boosted their wages. they are offering bonuses.

even restaurants offering bonuses. they say they can't find the workers. they are just not out there. rachel: the jobs report said zero growth in hospitality. so, one of the weird things that he said, lydia, was that even after he got these numbers, he said well, this is -- this is exactly as i planned. the plan is working, he said. we have been debating this on the couch. is this the plan? is he trying to create a dependency class of americans and what do you expect to happen when these benefits run out? in december? have they been out so long they won't go back to work because they kind of like sitting at home? >> right now, rachel, there is no indication that the boosted unemployment benefits are going to be extended. in fact, i think the representations have been the opposite that they won't be extended. the hope is that the workers will have to return to the workplace. you know, the big question is what is the federal reserve going to do in response to this jobs report?

this is a mainly indicator of economic recovery. the federal reserve has been making major bond purchases pumping a lot of cash into the economy since the start of the pandemic. $120 billion. there had been expectations that they are going to pull back on that, possibly in september. now the expectation is that's going to be prolonged. they are going to continue to make these bond purchases through november before they start tapering. rachel: very interesting information. thank you, lydia, we will be keeping our eye on what is happening in the economy it definitely affects everybody every single day. thank you, lid i can't. >> thank you. rachel: okay. an upset mother calls the cops after her kids are kicked out of class for not wearing masks. dr. marc siegel explains if there is really any science supporting school mask policies. i want to hear what he has to say. stay with us next. ♪

out. ostracizing them. parents coming to the school. exactly how you don't decrease stress. the point here is vaccination works for sure. testing frequently at schools work. i'm okay with trying these mitigating strategies like windows open. some distancing and masking. but there is not a lot of proof that masking really makes the difference. especially in a town like islip where there was almost no virus around. strategy were going to apply whether there is a lot of virus around. instead much more of a government super imposition rather than a public health strategy. will: that's the nature of a mandate right, dr. siegel? you put a mandate in place it means everybody has to comply. now we have schools acting like the authority, segregating students sending them to the classroom. you are right the big study that came out from bangladesh everyone is touting marginal talking about 10% on a very flawed study whether or not masks can improve the situation. the science just isn't there for masks being this very effective

mitigation strategy. yet we are acting like it, imposing and forcing mandates that act like the only thing protecting us from covid. so it seems inevitable this is going to happen to students. inevitable. >> you know, will, you know what it is? it about kids are too young to fight back and too young to stand up for themselves. you know that story in california where a teacher that wasn't vaccinated spread covid to over 20 students? i mean, how about starting with tea parties being vaccinated ife got everybody vaccinated in the schools especially the teachers. we talked about for month that's how you protect the school. if you are worried about a child, test them do. a rapid test. i'm all for that again, to super imposed masking, are they wearing the mask properly? why is the kid refusing to wear the mask? maybe they feel claustrophobic. maybe it's causing anxiety. maybe they can't breathe? all of those things have to be

the wrong order completely wrong super imposed mean government rather than public health. will: apps, retinal scans, maybe that slip of the sun you mentioned accidentally a moment ago. >> you caught that. will: i will tell you dr. siegel so far out of the realm of insanity i don't put that beyond australia or whoever is next. thank you, dr. siegel. >> thank you, will. good to see you. will: still ahead, it's tailgating time, lawrence jones is live in madison ahead of today's wisconsin penn state game on fox. i don't know if you can hear me, lawrence, yet, you better back it up and you better get that bag closer. whipped from two feet earlier. ♪ i'm lifting it in ♪

so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 10 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chances of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic infestations

or pre-existing cancers to worsen. new neoplasias were observed in clinical studies and post-approval. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. ahh, that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel. next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend.

in a july phone call biden reportedly told then afghan president began i didn't need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of afghanistan, i believe that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban. and there is a need whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture: yet, the media has avoided the story entirely. look at that zero seconds.

those five networks. the federalist columnist and author of privileged victims eddy scary joins me now. eddie, thank you very much for being here. i'm old enough to remember another phone call that existed which led to wall-to-wall coverage and an impeachment yet, this phone call and then the collapse of the afghan military and government? no coverage? >> right, just as you said it was supposed to be an impeachable offense to make any call to a foreign government that was in the interest, the political interest of the sitting president and in fact was worthy of removal from office, we're hearing nothing about this one and, yet, another very drastic and stark difference between the two. is that what was the result of what joe biden has been doing in afghanistan? we just lost 13 service members. this was life and death. and you compare that to what president trump did?

i mean, it's shocking. it's shocking that the media is giving a complete pass on this. has nothing to say about it. meanwhile, we almost completely tanked the last president, removed him from office. just really tells you not just -- it's not just media hypocrisy and bias. it's corruption. pete: not to mention the entire premise of the administration's argument is that they didn't know. no one could have possibly for seen that this happened so quickly. yet, nothing from the other networks. we could go on that for a while. i want to get to another example of this type of bias. we all saw joe biden checking his watch and family members that were there at dover said it happened multiple times. in fact, one family member said each time he was checking his watch as caskets went by. well, "u.s.a. today" did a fact check of that these good old fashioned fact checkers. here is what the original headline was of the "u.s.a. today" fact check. fact check biden honored service members in kabul checked watch

only after the ceremony. well, they had to update that headline shortly thereafter to acknowledge fact check biden honors service members killed in kabul. checked watch during ceremony. why -- are these really fact checkers or attempting to reinforce the narrative they want? >> right. fact checking is a failed industry. it doesn't exist anymore. at least so far as it is portrayed to exist by the national press. now it is like you just said reinforcings a narrative. it's not outright making things up. one of my favorite quotes during the trump years was when he said what you are seeing and what you are reading is not really what's happening. and that totally made everyone in the media say well, this is big brother. he is trying to gaslight the american public. no, this is what the media is doing. they are the ones gas lighting the american public. they tell you one thing. you have seen it with your own eyes and they tell you no, don't believe your lying eyes that's not what happened. this is a perfect example of that media

reinforcing narrow tis it not making things up. pete: left fact checking the if fact checkers who are narrative reinforcing congratulations on the book. >> thank you. pete: turning now to headlines. rachel: the man who carried out isis inspired stabbing attack at immediately to supermarket was freed from jail just months before the incident. he was jailed for three years after being caught with extremist videos but authorities eventually ran out of options to keep him behind bars. this, as chilling new video shows customers fleeing the market, the assailant stabbing five victims before being shot and killed by police. three of those victims remain in critical condition. radio host larry elder raises $13 million in his bid to unseat california governor gavin newsom in the recall election. his campaign says more than 100,000 people donated with an average donation of $102.

more than $5 million -- i'm sorry, 50 million ballots have been returned making up more than 22% of registered voters. now, this story. >> we have important. the ftc wants to know why mcdonald's ice cream machines are always broken. the "wall street journal" reporting the agency is gathering information from franchise owners about their mcflurry devices. they are investigating if manufacturers are blocking mcdonald's owners from getting repairs done quickly, causing long outages. we try to get some of in this morning but their machine actually was broken. [laughter] but that didn't stop us from getting their hash browns which by the way i love mcdonald's hash browns. pete: they are amazing. i have already had one. our lovely producers went to get them. the machine doesn't work. it almost never works. rachel: better than the

mcflurry's. pete: what are they called breezies? rachel: blizzards. pete: i grew up in minnesota having it every day the fact i didn't know it was blizzard. rachel: culver's custard. pete: not as good as the custard. if you look back at history, this is really just a copy of the blizzard. will: correct. will: i'm sure someone who has insight on deinterstate chief meteorologist rick reichmuth who will also have our fox weather forecast. rick: i can't believe you are trying to make up for what you don't know what a blizzard is. pete: i know what a blizzard is, rick. i mean, i feel horrible about this. take it away. is there a blizzard in the forecast? [laughter] rick: no. not yet. maybe two months away from our first blizzard. so not bad. all right, guys. i have got to tell you.

so we have got a pretty good next four or five days ahead of us. things are calmed down. such incredibly active weather pattern. coincided with rasp up in hurricane season that you see this time of year that said, september 10th is the statistical peak of hurricane season most of our activity is right nau around now that said things have calmed down a little bit for us. which is really welcome news. in fact one hurricane out there. a major hurricane. it's larry. you can see it way out here across the atlantic. folks in bermuda five to six days for now watching for this. i don't think we have any concerns for the east coast. another storm watching down across parts of the yucatan peninsula right now that would develop across parts of the gulf maybe three or four days from now. that's the only other one to watch. i don't think that would be anything significant. so, a little bit of a break for us and well deserved and give people a chance to continue their clean-up efforts. guys? rachel: thank you, rick. rachel: well, we are gearing up for college football this morning. this is ahead of the wisconsin

psu game on fox today. pete: that's right. it's also national tailgatinged day. will: look at that. pete: we checked in with lawrence jones to see his epic corn hole fail. will: slow no. one foot away did you think that was just -- did you think literally you were going to get away with that? lawrence. pete: redeem yourself. will: i never played corn hole from elevation. lawrence: i'm here like old men. pete: blame the experience. rachel: lawrence, they are trying to get back at all the times you beat them here on fox square and they are relishing in this. lawrence: i know. lawrence: i beat them all the time. that's my partner. i love rachel. all right, we got jean and kelly

valentina said her first word. that's the good news. the bad word. actually two -- the bad news is my mom was watching the news and she said that's hund and valentina said hunter biden. so i swear to god. it was horrible. it was horrible. first two words it wasn't very clear but clearly. pete: why did you say that right now? rachel: i thought that song made me happy and think of valentina and thought of herst word the other day and i forgot to tell you guys that. pete: you are raising her. will: where is the hunter biden documentary? this man has become legend. we need every angle of the hunter biden story. rachel: is he not an artist. he is a loser. pete: under reported is the depth of those stuff on those laptops to include videos. will: maybe on all the evidence

come in. rachel: it's all out there. no one wants to tell the story. except us. pete: well, good morning, thank you very much for being here with us. we have two more hours on the program. we will start out with this we have been coming afghanistan. siv holders. most siv holders the ones legitimately screened to come here did not get out. we had an interview with the radio free america did not get out. so many did not get out of afghanistan. yet over 10 million afghans did get out. many in the states. up to 50,000. we are learning that 100 of those afghan evacuees were flagged for possible two sent back to kosovo for further review. so, as more and more of them are vetted, along the way. how many more will we find that shouldn't have gotten on the

planes in the first place. rachel: my question is why are they coming here? why aren't they going to a third country preferably in their own region? a, it's cheaper for us to deal with that in another country. and, two, culturally, it must be less of a culture shock for them. they are just coming out of this, you know, very traumatic situation. have them go to another allied middle east country. and we should especially be begging them very thorough -- vetting them very thoroughly. the reason there was backlog with translators is that it takes, you know, a year or two to properly vet them. pete: working with us with the documentation with the letters. i wrote multiple letters of support. by the way, i didn't write letters of support for every afghan translator we h there were some i was like ain't happening doesn't feel like. you could it for the ones you know dedicated to the measures, the mission, unquestionably. edge. rachel: representative tom

tiffany from wisconsin. actually my congressman from wisconsin. he ended up fill the seat that my husband left when he retired from congress. he went down to one of the bases in our district to see what was going on. here's what he said. i was proud of him for going and getting a firsthand look at what's happening on our air bases. will: full screen. rachel: i thought we had video of him. does this mean they have ties to the taliban, isis or al-qaeda. do they have ties to terrorist organizations yet in the state department just fully says we are fully vetting them. i'm concerned they don't have the information on the background to make sure they are fully vetted. he is right. he says that most of them are not visa holders there are currently 3,000 of them. he says it's going to swell to 10,000. and that he, as far as he can tell, they are free to walk around the base. but, also, to leave the base if they want. pete: what's the name of that base in wisconsin? rachel: fort mccoy. pete: indeed. i actually live right near fort

dix, new jersey. industrial a military i.d. rachel: interesting. pete: i had other official business as well. but just yesterday, there are thousands of afghans there being processed. there are little orange fences around you have you around where they are. you can wander around if you want. what's really interesting massive. what was once an open parade field there are currently six there, will soon be probably a dozen. football field sized tents with concrete on the bottom. these are temporary but they are very permanent. which means they are either going to move them out of their current spot to there or tens of thousands more are coming. and, it's just -- are they going to be vetted there during the process? how much manpower is being used just to house to food? i don't think they have a full plan on this. i think it was get them all out. get them to american bases and we will figure it all out. having seen it listen, the troops were doing the best they could, eleventhly looks

haphazard and it's going to be. will: i knew you had done that wanted to hear from you on that. this is a huge story going forward one flagged for appropriateness or political correctness. it's a massive story for the united states of america going forward. one we need to monitor and talk about honestly as we do so. here is what general glen van hurt the commander of north come had to say on friday. continue to provide food, begged, religion jugs services, recreational activities and other services such as transportation from the port of entry to the accommodation and some medical services. i'm building 8 small cities. we're going to have challenges. 8 small cities. pete: that is what is he doing. that's what i saw. small cities being built on military bases. the thing about advantage of military bases is, the public can't see them. rachel: that's right. >> this is not the mission of our military. it's really odd. remember, we were talking about the police officers and so many of the people want to reimagine, you know, police enforcement say, you know, we need more

social workers. it seems like that's what this is turning into. it's very odd. i also find odd, will, where they are choosing to do it. you know, the seventh district of wisconsin is trump country. wink is a swing district. so many of the people who are leaving the border coming across the border illegally are also being sent to some politically advantageous places for the democrats. will: this a massive resettlement effort and massive. not to pass whether it should or should not be happening. every single i want you point out. we need them talking about what we owe them. also talk about the massive issues surrounding it. it will all be described i'm sure it's politically incorrect or perhaps in some cases racist. when you are talking about cultural assimilation and then the ripple effects of this huge population change, it is going to need to be addressed in an honest manner going forward. and you know, you know it will not be. you know it will be on the line, the conversation will be pushed to the sideline and we're

supposed to pretend it's not happening. pete: look at the conversation that was had around the somali communities in minneapolis many went and fought with isis. all you are saying is assimilation and love of country ultimately. that's going to be a massive project for huge groups of afghans coming here who curly are a world away. if you have let in a bunch of people who weren't actually translators working with us, they aren't used to that. it's even more difficult i don't think we have our arms around this they tonight have birth certificates or paper certificates in afghanistan. it's really difficult to confirm identity especially if you are fleeing at the last minute and you didn't have a lot of documents to begin with more difficult enough for people we already knew who they were. this story is not over. >> i don't think we have been doing assimilation very well as a country for a long time, a, and b, i know that and this is a question for you, pete. i know that the province where the resistance is.

pete: pan shir valley? rachel: we want to provide a safe haven for people. when we remove people from the country. obviously want to remove people in grave danger in kabul. what about resettling them in safer areas so they can ultimately win back their country? pete beat we will see. the panjshir valley remains contested. rachel: we should be helping them. pete: massoud who is a leader of the resistance of the taliban remember he was killed on september 9th, 2021. they killed them two days before the 9/11 attacks because they knew he would be the one leader that could unite that resistance it remains that resistance. we will see. if our government is flirting with recognizing the taliban, how much are they actually going to throw down on supporting the rebels trying to overtake the taliban? rachel: my point is shouldn't these people be trying to fight for their country? pete: good luck getting to the panjshir valley. you have to get through the country to get there. will: the reason we failed had

largely maligned. large segment believes we don't have a culture in america and b if we do it's something that's bad. you see that effort to change it talking about that openly when it comes to critical race theory or education. the american culture is seen as something that you do not want to assimilate too. at least among a large portion of our population. so they look at the idea of someone else adopting our values and our culture as a negative. and it most certainly is not. pete: exactly. they immediately impugn as if it's some idea of white nationalism or white supremacy when it comes to assimilation. when we talk about assimilation, it's not about race. it's not about class. not about nationality. never has been. it is about a set of ideas that america represents. will: totally. pete: asking america to come share in that. rachel: unite us under those ideas. will: this is important story i think canaries in the coal mine. dead on the ground at least if it's not singing sitting there for all dead bodies. in australia there is a new app. the south australian government

encouraging its citizens to download its app. the app. requires you on a moment's notice from the government to upload a picture of yourself and geo tag your location. this is to ensure where you are should you break quarantine. this is, at the very least, orwellian. i spoke to nick adams an immigrant earlier. listen. >> great saying in australia when someone is not all there we say there is a kangaroo loose in the top paddock. it is a cautionary tale that even a western democracy normal appearing can very quickly slip into totalitarianism when given the right opportunity. and i think every american should be watching this very carefully. we cannot allow any violations to our first, second, third or fourth amendments here in the united states. otherwise, we are going to get exactly this kind of stuff over here. pete: well, i think you are gerating that's what the

government of south australia says to fox news. this is what they say. rachel: they're calling you out. pete: this is what they say to fox news they said the home quarantine app. is for a selected cohort of returning self-australians who have applied to be a part of the trial. here's where it gets interesting. if successful, it will help safely eased burden of travel restrictions associated with the pandemic. so, they say it's voluntary. but what about when that voluntary so enthusiastic. will: have you seen the camps they're building? they have massive camps, quarantine containment camps. if you travel into australia. they put you in camps. we can put pictures up of these camps. i'm assuming voluntary app. home base quarantine is your option outside of going into a camp. i don't care if it is an option. it's not my country. i do not want my country tracking me, home quarantining me. pete: checking in on you. will: giving me 15 minutes? rachel: pete and will, i'm afraid to tell you that i have college kids and last year i saw

the beginnings of this they have safety badger alps they have to download on their phone. if they congregated. it tracks them. if they congregated when they weren't supposed to with other students increased the chance of covid or didn't get a covid test on schedule that the university said they had to this app. would make their card they had to get into their dorm room not work. they can't get into dorm room. they can't get into certain buildings to go to class. it will shut off their wifi access on campus. so we have already been seeing strains of this kind of tracking and punishing people if they are not doing what the university or the government or the cdc says. we're already seeing this stuff happen. it's a, you know, very dangerous thing. i think it's getting re close to the chinese, you know, social credit score system. will: australia given citizens like five kilometer radius leave

your home for essentials and necessities. i don't know if we are overreacting. i happen to think. rachel: you're not. pete: you have been a bad little badger. rachel: you have a bad badger. or your mask. will: emery college done the same thing you can't go to town. >> remember whether trump said everything woke turns to -- it starts on campus. pete: they are always the laboratories for the worst ideas. students and they have a captive audience. try their stuff including ideas. let's move on to weather. fox weather, devastation continues to grow in the aftermath of hurricane ida. rachel: 63 people now killed in storm related incidents as communities pick up the pieces. will: robert ray is live in new orleans with more on tragic deaths and biden's visit to tour the damage. robert? >> yeah, it's really tough times down here in louisiana, guys.

hurricane ida fifth strongest storm to ever hit mainland u.s.a. caused incredible damage, flooding all over this part of the state right now. people stranded 14 people have lost their lives including three from a nursing home evacuated right before the storm hit. hundreds of people from that nursing home brought to a warehouse. and unfortunately those deaths. now, down in grand isle louisiana where hurricane ida came ashore at 150 miles per hour, the devastation is 360 degrees. 100 percent of the structures took on damage. over 60% a total loss. so the mess down there just incredible. now, the gas lines in the metro new orleans area, some of them lasting over 8 hours. and that's if you can even find a gas station that has a generator pumping that gas. now, president joe biden was on the ground here yesterday in the

state of louisiana where he not only did a tour from the air, but spoke with residents. let's listen to what he had to say. >> i know y'all are frustrated about how long it takes to restore power. we're going to make sure we have someone coming through here going door to door letting people know what's available to them right now. because they can't connect on line. >> now, joe biden when he landed walking with what some are calling a cheat sheet in his pocket, pictures and names of the people that he was going to speak to. those officials also a script he read off of. over 800,000 people are still without power here in the state of louisiana. in new orleans, pocket like where i'm at in the french quarter. full power in the city of new orleans is not expected until the middle of next week so, an

amazing situation here for people as they grapple with very high heat and humidity. and still try to make it through. will: all right. thank you so much. watch wag e. what's going on down there. fox weather is coming by the way in october. be on the lookout for it. pete: i will be. turn now to a few additional headlines this morning. joe biden did not visit the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh following the deadly 2019 mass shooting despite telling jewish leaders that he did on a thursday video call. >> i remember spending time at the, you know, going to the, you know, the tree of life synagogue, speaking with the -- just, just is amazing these things are happening. happening in america. pete: he remembers. but, nearly 24 hours later the white house admitted biden's claim was not true. and that he was referring to a phone call he had with a tree of

of a political activist than a teacher in my own classroom. unfortunately, with what's going on in classrooms across our country is pitting students against each other based on the color of their skin. rachel: a connecticut elementary school teacher sounding off on critical race theory after resigning from her position citing the woke indoctrination that's taking over schools. that former connecticut elementary school teacher jennifer joins me now. jennifer, thank you for joining us. i know you love being a teacher. you thought you were going to be a teacher forever. it is the most noble profession or at least one of them. we all love teachers. tell me what brought you to this breaking point where you just said i can't do this anymore? >> good morning, thanks so much for vog me. rachel: ,. >> there was not definitely one point that led me to make this difficult decision. it was kind of built up throughout the year where i was asking my students questions that were really pressing them to think about themselves differently because of the color of their skin. and i just thought that some of

the work was extremely divisive. and kind of going against the fact that we are all created equal. rachel: you were prompted by your administration or those in charge of your school to ask these questions to present this material in this way. >>y, that's correct. we were given prompts to ask our students. rachel: no one can see better than you. you are seeing firsthand the impact of this, you know, race obsessed curriculum on innocent children. describe to us what you are seeing in the classroom as a result of this kind of curriculum. >> well, i want to start by saying racism is an extremely important topic. rachel: of course. >> no one can take that away. i think these conversations could have had the opportunity to be really powerful for students, to come from a place of unity. and so, i saw from my young students 7 and 8 years old it was going over their heads for the most part. but i was reminded by a parent just last week that her daughter was pointing students out or excuse me pointing people out in a public setting by the color of

their skin. so, it is very interesting because for them it was just way too advanced. and then for some of them it clearly does have implications that are harmful. rachel: yeah. i want to say as a mom what i'm seeing it's having the opposite effect instead of bringing about racial harmony causing people to see color when maybe they didn't see that before some of this very divisive curriculum was put forward. we seeing a lot of parents come forward and fight against critical race theory in this kind of racial as i said racially obsessed curriculums. do you think that's going to make a difference and do you think that more teachers should resign in protest the way you have if we want to bring about change? how do we change this? >> i think first of all me reaching out and speaking about this is never about me fighting this district. it's not exclusive to them. it was me about speaking for our young children. our young students. and it's been so wonderful to

hear from parents of all background reach out and teachers from all background in this district across our country. but, yes, to answer your question, i think it's extremely important for teachers and parents to speak up on this. you know, i am now working with an organization called 1776 action. and there are so many opportunities for educators, administrators, parents, to join this movement and if they are uncomfortable with it and they disagree with it and they think it's creating division, then they absolutely need to speak up and support this work against what's going on in our classroom. rachel: jennifer, you are a brave woman. i think a lot of people are finding inspiration in what you did. thank you so much for joining us. we have a quote here from the manchester public schools. this is their statement. manchester public schools recognizes its responsibility to address in grade and age appropriate ways and issues that includes racism and equities, discrimination and systemic bias we do so while practicing

could be midweek that it will be 100%, but the surrounding areas here in louisiana could be even longer as people deal with this heat and humidity and trying to still assess and pick up and live life. guys? pete: robert ray, thank you very much for reporting for us live from new orleans. by the way, fox weather coming up in october, so be on the lookout for that. rachel: he mentioned a cheat sheet. i'd say if i was president of the united states, i would need a cheat sheet because i have a hard time remembering names. pete: fox news alert, rachel campos-duffy defending joe biden. [laughter] a first ever. will: having a cheat sheet and your talking points is one thing, having a cheat sheet on everybody's name is another. what town am i going to? who am i talking to? what day is it? pete: all right. there's no natural transition, so let's transition over to

antony blinken. yesterday he took to the podium and gave a speech in what did not inspire much urgency or confidence in people. he talked about the fact that the state department is in touch, he claims, with all the u.s. citizens still in afghanistan. not to mention the admission that the state department made a couple days earlier meaning translators and other allies who actually went through the process, received that visa, the vast majority of them are still stuck in afghanistan. not to mention we had earlier on the program a u.s. government-paid employee for voice of america who wants to be voice of america radio in afghanistan right now also can't get out of afghanistan. so you still have example after example after example, you still have groups of veterans working day after day after day to try the get clearance for flights to leave. they have manifests of people, some which are american, yet antony blinken takes to the podium and inspires this kind of confidence for the rest of us

that the state department's all over it. >> we're in constant contact with americans who remain in afghanistan and may still wish to leave. most of the remaining american citizens are dual nationals whose home is afghanistan and whose extended families live there. is so it's no surprise that deciding whether or not to leave the place they call home is a wrenching decision. we're also in touch with others working to help at-risk people leave afghanistan. that includes our foreign partners, news organizations, private foundations. rachel: imagine being an american or an afghani interpreter, as you said, with the paperwork proving you helped the americans, and you realize you're stranded in afghanistan and that guy is in charge of getting you out. that's scary. he inspires zero confidence. and, by the way, back to you point about visa holders,

representative tom tiffany from wisconsin's 7th district went to where there are currently 3,000 afghanis living on the base, he said the majority of them have no visas. so this is a complete cluster. representative markwayne mullin was actually, a congressman from oklahoma, he did a very daring mission that a lot of people criticized trying to help those who were trying to help afghanis and americans leave afghanistan. he went on this mission, and he says that he believes, sadly -- and he told this to bret baer in that interview that he gave with him -- he believes that not everyone is going to be able to get out, and he called blinken and biden, he cede they're lying -- he said they're lying. >> are we going to get these people out? >> we're going to get some, but there's going to be some that's

going to die because of the failure from president biden. i promise you that. at some point they're going to lose patience and aren't going to keep letting us drive past these checkpoints in panama. sorry, pax. that's what they call it. when i say the blood is on his hands, president biden's hands, i mean that with everything in my heart. it's his fault. will: the picture that tony blinken paints, the characterization of what's going on between the state department and visa holders, americans behind the scenes in kabul does not comport with the picture that you're given by people who are on the ground, by, for example, congressman mullin there. last week we talked to corey mills, he was on the ground in kabul trying to run people through the gauntlet to the airport at that time. the airport now, of course, is now closed. i talked to him in death and had that on the will cain podcast and you could just hear these stories, you hear the picture painted by guys like that who

are running private operations to help americans, it's just not the same picture as what the united states government is painting. pete: and when you talk to those folks, they almost universally point the finger at the state department. will: that's exactly right. pete: the state department has made its mistakes, but you get the sense they're coming around -- and, again, i don't absolve them, there's plenty of mistakes made by dod, but at this moment as it pertains to getting americans and afghanis out, the state department is putting their hands up, and effectively they're blocking flights from from going out, they're playing footsie with the taliban, maybe legitimizing them which you ultimately could leado aid. are we looking at an extortion exercise right here? are we looking at a giant ransom payment? that's possibly what we could be staring at as the taliban forms its government, uses our database to find -- rachel: our weapons. pete: and a lot of people are still in safe houses, still in

hiding. we talked to one this morning, i'm moving house to house week to week. it's only a matter of time until the taliban builds its own list and identifies exactly where they are, tracks them down, and then they really are hostages. they already are are hostages. rachel: yeah. we handed them that kill list. i think what was really shocking in that interview with that congressman from oklahoma who, by the way, what a great guy. as the spouse of a congress, former congressman, he talked a little bit about how his wife did not want him to go. i can imagine that. my husband happened to be in afghanistan when osama bin laden was killed and when the alert came out that something was going on, i thought for sure my husband had died. so it's a scary thing to let your husband do that. but one of the worst things in that interview that i heard was it sounded like the state department was actually thwarting some of their efforts. he was having a hard time getting ambassadors and access. and instead of the state department helping the people who are trying to help people if

the state department doesn't want to do it, they were actually impeding the effort. will: that's definitely the message that you hear. rachel: it's shameful. all right. well, turning now to your headlines starting with a fox news alert, officers -- after three people are shot at townsend university. baltimore police say the shooting happened in the center of campus around two in the morning. the victims are expected to survive. police have not said if they were students or staff but say there is no further threat on campus. naomi to osaka will not repeat as the women's u.s. open champ, warning fans she could be taking a break on competitive -- from competitive tennis. listen. >> i honestly don't know when i'm going to play my next tennis match. rachel: osaka's revelation comes after an emotional loss in the

legos, i build a castle. will: my kids are super into it, they build those big, complex things, whatever the instructions say. rachel: the harry pot ericassing. potter castle. pete: pretty cool. all right, college football, it is back. and we're counting down to the kickoff of a heated matchup between wisconsin and penn state. will: what's up, guys? if. >> hey, guys. we're here, the energy is wild. it feels like we're getting back to normal. i've got joe right here with me. joe, before we get into the game itself, talk about what it feels like to be back. >> well, i mean, so is, first of all, like the package. gentry and the passion of college football is what makes it so unique, and part of that is the family atmosphere of the fans, right? if we did a game thursday night,

minnesota/ohio state. to have the crowd back, it was exceptional. the energy was phenomenal. but this today here at camp randall in wisconsin, this is one of the best fan bases in all of college football. it's going to be an absolute blast. >> reporter: i got in late and everyone from penn state were on the flight, and they were ready. >> that's right. >> reporter: tell us about this game. >> yeah. >> reporter: who do you take to be the favorite of this game? >> well, wisconsin's going to come in as the higher ranked team, but first games are so interesting because you don't really know. penn state's got a new offensive coordinator. they're going to have to mesh that with some of the old players. they've got a good quarterback. wisconsin loves to run the football. they've got to find a new running back. but really it's going the come down to the energy in the stadium, and that's going to favor wisconsin today because they're the home team. >> reporter: do you predict any upsets? is there a particular favorite

in this game? what are the odds right now? >> you know, i don't look at the odds, unfortunately, just because i'm calling the game -- >> reporter: it's anybody's guess. >> i think it's pretty even right now. i think the favorite would be wisconsin in this game, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if penn state got the upset. >> reporter: players to watch. >> sean clifford, the quarterback at penn state, he's a phenomenal player. you've also got wisconsin's quarterback, he's a heck of a player. and that running back i mentioned from wisconsin, he transferred from clemson, he's coming up here. he's going to be the starting running back for the badgers. >> reporter: wow. what do you expect to see in penn state today? because when i'm looking at, everybody's favoring wisconsin. >> yeah, yeah. so from the penn state side, their coach has been highly successful. year it was such a weird year, right? like, they couldn't -- they started 0-5, they were turning the football over, then they did this 4-0. i expect to see more of that

team. a lot of speed on the defensive side. they've got a great secondary, great corners, and we've got a great feature, by the way, on joey porter, he's the son of nfl all-pro joey porter. he's the guy who watch out for. i expect penn state to come out with a lot of energy, throw the ball down the field, and i think it's going to be a phenomenal game. >> reporter: our cousins at fox, we thank you so much. back to you guys in new york. will: all right. wisconsin's got a quarterback now, so that's going to be the difference. that's why i'm picking wisconsin. joel is, nice job. lawrence, thank you. catch the game today at noon eastern on fox. it's been a bad month for biden facing multiple crises, and it's taking a toll on his job approval. kayleigh mcenany's on deck to react. ♪ ♪

♪♪ pete: welcome back. well, the month of august was bad one for joe biden with his approval ratings sinking to an all-time low as the white house

tries to manage multiple crises. many of their own making. from afghanistan to the chaos at the southern border. on top of that, the latest jobs report shows employment in august missed expectations by almost half a million. outnumbered cohost and former white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany is here to react. good morning, so great to have you, as always. >> good morning. pete: good morning. have you seen anything like this kind of stunning collapse, and does it surprise you at all? >> look, it doesn't surprise me because we elected a president from a basement. he was not tested. the only challenge he had was on that debate stage where president trump absolutely trounced him in that final debate. but we elected someone without any real scrutiny who had, by the way, a horrible record in foreign policy. we've all heard the gates' quote about him being wrong on every major foreign policy decision. so all of a sudden, a few

months, eight months in, people realize, oh, wait, inflation's coming. a 39% approval rating on the economy. oh, wait, covid. he wasn't prepared for that either, all of a sudden his poll numbers tanking there. crime, immigration, you name it. and then the afghanistan withdrawal which i think just crystallized in everyone's mind how incompetent, how much of a baffoon this president actually is. pete: yeah, what is it about afghanistan, because crime numbers have been there, the border, we've had the images, they've been shown, inflation, unemployment, not to mention a number of other issues have all been there. but afghanistan seems to have really left an imprint on people and have sent his numbers south. what is it about that? >> i can tell you what it is, pete. you know, contrary to what the left says, they say they don't have any binding principles as americans as they try to wipe away the things that unite us, but one of those central principles is caring for one another, it's not leaving another american behind. it's central to who we are, i

don't have to tell you, pete if, it's central to the military as you know well. so i think when i saw the polling and it was extraordinarily high numbers of people who said, no, i don't want to leave americans behind, and even a majority saying i don't want to leave afghan allies like the intercepter who helped you -- interpreter who helped you and so many others. when we lost a war we fought for 20 years, left americans behind, afghans hanging from planes, 13 u.s. service members dead after 18 months of not losing a service member, i think it rubs americans the wrong way. pete: you're right. and the images are so stark whether it's the checking of the watch or the bowing of the head or, as you referred to, clinging to planes and falling from the air. and even as we were talking, we showed the taliban flag now flying from our equipment right before our eyes. it feels like america's dignity, honor, has been shaken to its core. >> yeah. you just hit the nail on the held there too, pete.

it's compassion, and i think joe biden misled the country. i'm this big compassionate guy, he had some teary-eyed moments and americans said i want that guy. but then he find out -- we find out when we asked about the afghans, he said that happened four or five days ago. after a aftergans -- afghans were being killed, no one is being killed. the checking the watch. this man is stubborn, he's not caring, in fact, i would argue he's cruel as we've seen -- pete: yeah, well said. 43% approval rating, that's incredibly low when you consider how young, ultimately, his term is. if you were to look at where they would look to recover that number, where does an administration like this go to say is, all right -- right now they're trying to go to the $3.5 trillion green new deal bill. where do they turn to try to bring that north? >> i think they'll try to turn to that bill, but the problem is

even polling shows americans are all of a sudden a little rifled by spending. they realize that this exorbitant spending is tied to inflation. i don't think they have anywhere to turn because an administration if like this needs to autocorrect, needs to acknowledge, wait, trump's border policies were working. wait, the way he wanted to get out of afghanistan was the right way. wait, his economic policies were working. there's more opportunity for more people, but it takes an autocorrect. it takes saying, wait, that guy was doing something right, and i don't think our stubborn president has the ability to do that. pete: no, you're right, they believe what they're doing even if it's undermining and crushing our cub in the process. kayleigh, you're going to be on the big saturday show 5 p.m. here on the big channel. >> can't wait. thanks so much, pete. pete: thanks so much for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: all right. with louisiana still reeling from the devastation of ida, texas is stepping up to help.

groups of people. and we need to make sure that we stand against that. there are some countries in europe that have really eliminated down's syndrome individuals and babies, and that's why south dakota wanted to take a stand against eugenics. every single life is precious. every single person has value. that tweet, what it did is it insin waited that some people don't and that they can be exterminated. rachel: do you think that -- or is south dakota and you considering something similar to the texas bill that we're, that we're hearing so much about this week, the heartbeat bill? >> we absolutely are. i don't know if you know this, rachel, but when i became governor, i was the first governor in the country to put a person in my governor's office whose full-time job was to be an unborn child advocate which meant they spent every day looking for statute and case law in litigation that we could bring forward to protect life and that that person would be

dedicated to doing that. so, yes, that individual has already been tasked with looking at this texas bill if we could pass it in south dakota and make sure that it was going to be upheld in court. we have other pieces of legislation that we're constantly bringing. just this last session we brought six and passed them into law that were pro-life pieces of legislation. so i really desire that south dakota will be an example as well for how we defend each and every individual believing that they're all special. rachel: well, that's beautiful. somebody dedicatedded to being the voice of the most, you know, voiceless people in america, the unborn, that's amazing. i want to switch topics with you for a second here. there are 16 states that have joined you in a lawsuit against the department of interior who has tried to stop you, who is stopping you, from having a fireworks display at mount rushmore. i remember seeing that and donald trump's speech and yours as well. it was such a great patriotic moment. why is it so important to continue this fight for? >>

>> well, because we believe that the biden administration completely ignored law. there is an administrative procedures act that they did not follow. they have to give us a valid reason for why they denied us those permits. remember, we went through all the safety checks, the environmental permitting processes, we had all the fire safety individuals in agreement, we had a go/no go checklist, and we followed the law and made sure we did unprecedented action to make sure it was going to be safe and we could celebrate america -- rachel: why do you think they don't want you to do this, governor? why are they opposed to this? >> it's all political, rachel, and that's the thing. this biden administration is hell bent on punishing south dakota is. you know, the fact is i campaigned for president trump in 17 different states during the campaign, and i was very black and white on the fact that i believed we needed president trump in the white house, that president biden would do exactly what he's doing in this country today and that he would destroy us. and i just wasn't gray, in any

gray area about it. i was out there and working hard to make sure we gave him the chance to continue and get four more years. so now this administration has taken me from being on offense to defense every day, and i'm fighting for my people to protect their freedoms and their liberties and, honestly, south dakota's thriving. we are growing, we have the fastest growing economy in the country. we have one of the lowest unemployment rates, and people here are happy. rachel: yeah. well, you're not just fighting for south dakota, i think america needs these patriotic moments and this sort of 1776 spirit which, obviously, south dakota does such a great job of with mount rushmore and those fireworks. governor, i know you're so busy, i really appreciate you coming on on a saturday morning. >> anytime, rachel. i love you and your family, and little valentina if, she's a special, special little girl and, goodness sakes, we need more of her in this world to remind people about every child is a miracle. rachel: that's right. governor, thank you so much.

>> yeah. have a wonderful day. rachel: you too. let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox news weather forecast. rick? rick: hi, rachel. yeah, so i tell you what, we're in this really big, busy peak of hurricane season. we've, obviously, had all this horrible activity. one storm that we're watching, hurricane larry, likely to become a major hurricane -- or it is a major hurricane, likely to get to category 4, and in about five days we're going to be watching this around bermuda. larry is out here way across the atlantic, then we have one other little disturbance across parts of the yucatan. in about 3-5 days from now, some of that energy could be around the gulf, something to think about in maybe continuing the repair efforts across parts of the central gulf. now, this map is a beautiful map. no, nothing happening on the radar picture all across parts of the northeast, that's great news. and then this here today we've

got some severe weather that's going bring cooler weather eventually across the plains as well. back to you. will: thanks, rick. in the wake of ida's devastating toll on louisiana, texans are stepping up. one texan in particular, houston's mattress mac is opening his doors to evacuees offering meals and a place to sit. mattress mac joins me now. jim, you've done this before. you're a treasure to those in texas, southern texas, louisiana, always opening your doors to people who need help. tell us what you're doing for the victims, the advantage sees -- evacuee withs of hurricane ida. >> well, we opened the doors for the people who had evacuated to houston from the louisiana area. they can come in here to eat, sleep, get social services, and then the focus of the effort, however, has been getting supplies -- water, nonperishable food, baby supplies, cleaning

supplies, all those types of things, generators, especially generators, and taking them to louisiana. so far we've sent 50 trucks to louisiana, and we're gathering more merchandise every day to take down there. and the outpouring of giving from the people of texas is truly inspiring. will: truly is. you've got 50 families and individuals who are currently sheltering. i know you did this at least since 2005 with hurricane katrina, i think you've done it with numerous storms, jim. we're really tight on time. we want to tell you how much we appreciate what you do down there. i don't know if you have any idea how many people over the time you've helped out through these storms? >> it has to be 50-100,000, but helping is what we do, what texans are all about, and it's about self-reliance and helping your neighbors. we're not relying on the government, we're relying on ourselves. will: yes, sir. yes, sir. and you can help at home, gallery furniture.com, click on hurricane ida relief, see how you can help.
