women's rights are should down by the taliban firing weapons in the air shortly after this video was taken. we have fox team coverage with ryan in london and david, let's start with you. >> hi, anita, hi, griff. president biden is telling americans over in afghanistan, do not worry the united states is with you. if you eventually want to leave that country, we will be here to help you get out of that country. the president, as you just mentioned, is in wilmington, delaware at his home for the weekend spending a long weekend. he landed in philadelphia last night after touring hurricane damage on the louisiana coast for most of the day, then choppered down here to wilmington, delaware where he'll spend time with family. he managed to escape the white house and washington d.c. but the criticism of his decision not to bring home all

americans continues to follow this president. >> he broke his promise to americans and he's continuing to break it because there are american citizens who are trying to get out of the country right now. >> secretary of state, antony blinken said the u.s. is still in contact with the taliban to help get american citizens out if they want to. he says that there are some circumstances where maybe some americans living over there are dual citizens and prefer to stay below the radar and can make a move when they're ready to make a move. >> we are in very regular contact with relatively small number of american citizens who remain in afghanistan and indicated they're interested in leaving. we have dedicated teams assigned to each of these american citizens to be in constant contact with them. we're providing them with very tailored, very specific

guidance. >> well, blinken will hop on an airplane to doha, qatar. he'll be leaving tomorrow, and that's where the american diplomatic corps is. they were in kabul, but now in qatar. right now secretary of state says there are no plans to meet with any of those leaders some of whom are taking up time in qatar. >> david, more than 100 americans still left in afghanistan. thank you for the live report from wilmington, delaware. griff. ♪♪ >> well, less than one week after the u.s. withdrawal, reports of fresh fighting in afghanistan as taliban fighters seek to consolidate power amid pockets of resistance. ryan chilcott joins us with the latest and it seems that the fighters are not laying down their weapons? >> not just yet, that's right. as you know, the taliban is in

control of nearly all of afghanistan, but there has been one last pocket of resistance, one last patch of land that is not under the taliban's control. it's called the poncher valley north of kabul. but today at least some taliban officials are saying it's now under their control. we can't confirm that. we're looking into it, but there is some video that shows what appears to be taliban in what appears to be the vicinity of the valley. note the hum-vee, by the way, next to the taliban, that's equipment the u.s. gave the government of afghanistan to fight the taliban and is now, as you can see there, at the disposal of the taliban. the so-called afghan resistance you're talking about, they say they're in control of the valley. afghan resistance meaning members of the former government and fighters who moved into this valley area when the taliban took over. they were holed up there when the taliban was last in power

between 1995 and 2001, and it's where they began their triumphant move on kabul when the u.s. military teamed up with them after 9/11. so, as to prove the point that they are still in control, the former afghan vice-president, he appeared in a video that looked to have been shot in the valley and into the panjshir valley. he says he's there, he's in control. that doesn't appear to have spooked the taliban. one news agency reporting 17 people were killed by celebration gunfire, taliban shooting in the air to celebrate their victory in the valley. today in kabul alone today 17 deaths after word spread that the taliban had taken over the control of the valley. these two groups have been fighting more than 20 years.

also in kabul, a group of afghan women were attacked by taliban fighters while protesting for their rights today, saturday. the taliban used tear gas and according to one protester, electric tasers to break up the protest, the second of its kind in as many days. what rights women will have is a huge unknown under the taliban. the taliban are saying they will have more right, including the right to work and to go to school than they did during their first stint in power when women weren't allowed to go outside unless dressed head to toe in burqas and accompanied by male relatives. the reality, we don't know yet. there is no official taliban government and there's still no official policy. and obviously, there's a lot of concerns among women in afghanistan that this new government may not have changed that much from the government they knew 20 years ago. griff. griff: ryan in london.

you're right, a big question mark on those women's rights. we shall see. ryan, thank you. and we have exclusive video, you see here, joint chiefs of staff chair mark milley visiting refugees in ramstein air base awaiting transfer to the u.s. you can see much more of this exclusive interview by general milley by our national news correspondent jennifer griffin who has done amazing reporting on this. that will air 4 p.m. on fox news live. you don't want to miss it. >> well, people from louisiana to pennsylvania, to new jersey, and new york, are in recovery mode with millions assisting the damage after ida. we have live team coverage as the cleanup against. jeff paul is on the ground in louisiana and bryan llenas in new jersey. we begin with jeff paul.

hi, jeff. >> yeah, president biden promising to have louisiana's back as it tries to rebuild post-hurricane ida. he says that folks throughout the state impacted by the storm are hurting right now and pledge to stand with them as they slowly rebuild. president biden shortly after landing in new orleans got a tour of some of the hardest hit areas, this includes places like laplace, louisiana, a spot still am a week after the hurricane came through, and people are without water. in some spots, these homes are just unlivable because they took so much damage. the president, who met with democrat and republican lawmakers, says it's not about party affiliation, it's about being americans. we've got to build back not only with the same poles up. we've got to build back better. we've got to build back more resiliently and do the same thing across the board. >> hundreds of thousands throughout the state still do

not have power. and some communities, like graceland, and la fourche parish, and homes aren't livable. as folks return home, they're paving the way for those power crews to get inside and the city of new orleans estimating they could have power restored as soon as wednesday. >> i am cautiously optimistic that the timeline that has been provided by entergy will be complete by those deadlines, but even i am expecting more sooner rather than later. >> now, where we are here in the french quarter of new orleans, you can tell that some places are starting to get power back. you're seeing people out and about, cleaning up the streets. we've even seen some bars opening up, and having their doors open offering drink to folks, free pizza. canal street, another street since the storm, have not seen it this busy, but it's going to

take quite a while to get this entire area back on its feet. back. >> all right, jeff paul live on the ground in louisiana. thank you so much, griff. griff: anita, across the northeast, the tornados and flooding spawned by hurricane ida claimed at least 46 lives. the flood waters have not receded everyone, hampering recovery efforts. we find bryan llenas in patterson, really getting a punch, bryan. >> yeah, griff. believe it or not three days after the storm, we are still seeing the flood waters behind me. in fact, the water here from the passic river reached up five feet. and the water overtook that vehicle, and he says that vehicle is a total loss, and his business. it's sad, what we're hearing all over the place, all of this flooding had to go somewhere into the creeks and rivers in

new jersey. the pasayic river will stay at the major flood level until pretty much tonight when it starts going down at this time. all of this as people are spending their labor day weekend cleaning up. we've seen all of their personal belongings taken out of their basements and the first floors of their buildings on the street. this is shocking video from inside a basement in new jersey. the waters collapse the basement walls and he was screaming. he was trapped and his mom was as well. the son had to punch a tile from the roof and able to get out and the father had to save the mother named janice valley. she clings beyond a boiler and survived, she had about four inches to spare essentially and she was saved by her husband. incredible. and everyone is okay amazingly, but this goes to show you what

happens when flash floods happen. at least 25 people were killed in new jersey, six are still missing, including two seton hall university students feared to have been swept away near a storm drain that empties into the river. new york was hammered as well, westchester county saw some four feet of water. new york mayor bill deblasio is taking heat for not being prepared enough. they need to improve infrastructure and drainage system because extreme weather events are becoming the norm. we now understand that this kind of radical, sudden change in weather is beyond the understanding, beyond the reach of any of our typical measuring tools. things are happening that projections can't track with accuracy or consistency. which means we have to assume the worst in the way that we never have before. >> the reality though is as well, 11 of the people in new

york city died in illegal basement apartments. apartments built in basements and buildings throughout the city. there's an estimated 50,000 of them and griff, when that water comes in, you saw that video in new jersey, you can imagine, that people have seconds to react and so there are calls now to do more were those types of dwellings and we know that president biden will be visiting new york and new jersey on tuesday to assess the damage. griff: frightening video. quickly, is paterson still at risk of additional flooding? >> we believe that the water is now going to start receding, but it's going to be like this until at least tonight. it's at the major and moderate flood stage at this point still. so, you know, obviously there's different gauges along the river, but we believe it's starting to recede today. griff: all right, bryan llenas for us in new jersey, thank you. >> for more on how new york is recovering from the historic

flooding, we'll bring in the congresswoman, it's good of you to join us this weekend. and i want to ask you about the status of that flooding in new york in the wake of the storm. i know you had a chance to tour the area. what are you seeing? >> sure, i met with constituents, visited many payments. we were with the governor yesterday on staten island touring damage as well. what i can tell you most of the water is receded at this point. people have pumped it out of their basements, but we have a desperate need here for real sewer and water infrastructure. the reality is that the city and the state have not kept pace with population growth and there's been more development, there's been more people, and yet the sewer system is not one that can take the capacity of a storm of this magnitude. there is little drainage. although they've made some attempts in expanding wetlands

and blue belts as well as some infrastructure, certainly it's not enough that's needed and the people pay taxes to the government for reason and one of those reasons is infrastructure. and so, we see a mayor and a governor, governor cuomo -- governor cuomo and mayor deblasio spent money on all sorts of things, giving taxpayer free tuition to illegal immigrants, giving them stimulus checks. the mayor has squandered millions of dollars on programs that don't seem to help anyone, thrive nyc and school renewal programs and when it comes to things that taxpayer seem to expect for their tax dollars. yesterday the mayor said he wants to put together a panel for climate change. that's great, but there have been four other panels like that over the past decades. and there's nothing that helps my constituents with chronic

issue every time there is a storm. i suggest the mayor put together a panel to look at the sewer system that needs to be mitigated, and infrastructure would could occur to help relieve this water and provide better drainage. if the federal government is going to provide funding and finally going to bring this infrastructure bill, a bipartisan one for a vote then they will be prepared to maximize the benefits from that package. >> so to your point, it sounds like the area is getting some aid from the state, but you're calling on the federal government, right, for some federal emergency dollars. what will that do? how will that help the people suffering right now? >> well, right now the president has issued a disaster declaration. what we want is for him to also unlock the individual and household program which would allow for direct assistance to individuals. people have been-- get frustrated when they see

money coming from washington and it gets stuck in red tape and bureaucracy. so he's unlocked the aid to go to the municipalities, for reimbursement, for recovery and that sort, but we really need direct assistance straight to the home owners who have paid taxes all of these years and now need some assistance due to a natural disaster that they had no control over. >> well, it's interesting you mentioned climate change. you know, the very next morning after the storm, we heard chuck schumer, mayor deblasio and others blame climate change for the frosty of the storm and say president biden said it was an example why congress needed to pass the infrastructure bill when they come back to washington. do you think it's appropriate to blame this on climate change? maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but should he be bringing politics into this when people are suffering? >> look, we all need to do our part to be more environmentally

friendly and reduce our footprint, but the end of the day, they're using this to push their radical left agenda to try to pass a $3.5 trillion socialist wish list. instead they should be calling on nancy pelosi to bring the actual infrastructure bill that passed all right in a bipartisan fashion in the senate for a real debate and discussion on where the infrastructure dollars are needed across the country. the reality is, we will have tremendous bipartisan support if you're focusing on true infrastructure like sewer and water infrastructure, like broadband, like roads, bridges, highways. you saw massive flooding of our roadways and again, it's because of neglect from the city and the state over time, not keeping up with population growth and improving that infrastructure that is needed in the 21st century. that's what people pay taxes for. new york city and new york state, by the way, they spend more based on population than any other city and state in the nation, okay, yet we're crying

now that we don't have sewers in our streets and that people are being affected adversely by it. so i really suggest at that they should put the pressure on nancy pelosi, who by the way, brought us back for a special session two weeks ago and didn't even bring up the infrastructure bill for a discussion. instead they passed a socialist package that has nothing to do with dealing with the actual issue that we're facing at this moment. >> certainly the debate on the infrastructure-- >> human infrastructure is not going to help my constituents. we need real infrastructure here to prevent this from happening again. >> no doubt. 30 seconds. you're on the house foreign affairs committee. the released transcript of a phone call between president biden and president ghani of afghanistan where president biden reportedly pressured him to paint a rozier picture of what was happening on the ground in july. people made life and death decisions based on the conditions they believed existed at the time.

should that phone call be investigated? >> absolutely. i've already called for our foreign affairs committee to hold hearings. we need to get blinken in. this needs to also be investigated. remember what they did to president trump over a phone call? well, this is much bigger magnitude, impact. we had significant deaths by our service members and the whole country was taken over and we left americans before enemy lines and did so with our weapons, by the way, and all of this needs to be investigated and i hope the foreign affairs committee brings us back very soon so we can get answers that the american people deserve and accountability. there needs to be accountability here. >> certainly there does. congresswoman, thank you for spending time with us today and i wish you the best for the holiday weekend, thank you. >> thank you. griff: and we'll get thoughts from the other side of the aisle next, plus, the migrant surge across our southern border showing no signs of

>> welcome back. we just heard from republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis. on the other side of the aisle, let's bring in laura sage from

gorgeous california there. laura, thank you for taking time and you heard congresswoman malliotakis' comments and she wants hearings on accountability in afghanistan. what i want to start with you. i want to play from president biden on tuesday talking about the evacuation efforts. here is some of what he had to say. take a listen. >> extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravery, and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomates and intelligence professionals. griff: an extraordinary success, says president biden, but you heard congresswoman malliotakis paint a different picture. where do most democrats stand on assessing how the evacuation went. >> i can't speak for most democrats, i will say this, 124,000 people in 17 days, the largest airlift in u.s. history. president biden is right to

applaud the service members and intelligence professionals and the diplomatic pros that were able to pull that off. and the fact that 98% of americans who want to get out are out. and i think, so i think we have to look at where we are and we have to see what we need to do next. we also know that after 20 years he's the first american president who was able to hold to his commitment to end the war in afghanistan. and as we approach the anniversary of september 11th, i think that's something as americans who agree that the war should end, something we can agree is a good thing. griff: i don't think that most persons on either side of the aisle when we hear the administration say 90% got out. 10% are left behind. it is five days since the u.s. withdrawal and we have between 100 to 200 americans who remain behind and the administration won't say if a single one has gotten out since then. >> well, it's 98%, griff, which

is a little better than 90%. and some of those americans are choosing to stay. others we know we have the same commitment from the same professionals to do everything we can to assure that they reach safety outside the borders of afghanistan. so that effort ongoing and it continues. i think the other thing we have to talk about is a broader perspective. on how we americans use our military and really, and i think that president biden stands by this, it has to serve a vital national interest. when we went into afghanistan, obviously osama bin laden was the target and assuring security in that area of the world and now 20 years later we need to reassess, after spending over $2 trillion, after the loss of countless service members in action who served valiantly. this reassessment is part of a long-term vision that we need to look at as americans and especially those heading our foreign policy. griff: and i think only time will tell how most americans ultimately feel about this. let me shift gears quickly, you

and i often talk washington politics. we're head today a whale of a legislative september, the president wanting to pass the $3 1/2 trillion infrastructure bill and already joe manchin saying i'm not on board with 3 1/2 trillion. what do you think will happen with the infrastructure bill. >> do not bet against nancy pelosi. she has been known to herd the cats in her caucus. working with chuck schumer on the senate side and obviously this is the key to president biden's legislative agenda and to leading in the mid terms. we've got to get that bipartisan infrastructure deal across the finish line and move forward with the reconciliation package that will help so many people with the human infrastructure, with the child care, with the green energy and green jobs proposal. these are both critical so that american jobs can proceed, move forward and so we can get our roads and bridges fixed.

griff: we will have you back and talk about it once they start fighting on capitol hill, laura fink, rebelle communications. and an interview with michael mccall, and check your local listings for times. anita: new numbers show more big jump in migrants crossing our southern border compared to last year. that's coming up next. age is . and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein.

(jackie) talk to your doctor about austedo...it's time to treat td. td is not ok. visit askforaustedo.com. >> well, no sign of a slowdown for the surge of migrants across the southern border. as law enforcement deploys several tools to combat the problem. jonathan hunt is live on the ground in laredo, texas with the details. jonathan, good to see you. what are the new tools being used? >> well, they need everything essentially, anita. let me tell you why.

behind me there is mexico. i'm standing on the u.s. side of the rio grande. the river here is only about 50 yards wide, as it winds its way past laredo and in places a few inches deep. one of the only ways to patrol it is via airboat. and we joined the patrol as they cruised the river doing at times almost an impossible job. border patrol agents are using every tool at their disposal, air boats among them, as they try to turn back the tide of illegal immigration that threatens to swamp our southern border. in the laredo sector alone they've seen more than 130% increase in the number of apprehensions of immigrants crossing the rio grande this year compared to last. on this side of the river, the mexican side, those who want to cross watch and wait on that side, the u.s. side border

patrol agencies watching and waiting. and there aren't enough of this to come every inch of the 136 miles of this sector and that's where these air boats can make a real difference and they do. but inevitably they can't stop everyone from making it to the north side of the river. >> when we encounter them, it's a foot chase on the ground. it's a vehicle pursuit, but you know, from us or from our partner agencies. so the smuggling organizations are driving that. >> so it's dangerous? >> it's dangerous, right. >> the mayor of laredo says he's had enough and accuses president biden of breaking promises. >> we want the cavalry to arrive. we've been waiting months now for that and unfortunately, we haven't seen much of that. >> in a recent debate in the texas state senate, one democrat summed it up this way. >> when a nation cannot define its border, it ceases to be a

nation and right now we do not control our border. >> trying to take back control, the hard-pressed agents on land and on water. >> they do tremendous work, but there's no doubt that that volume, it does tire you out. >> and, anita, the chief tells me what they need here are more boats, more technology, but before all, what he needs are more boots on the ground. but for all of that, of course, the money has to come from washington. it's not coming right now. anita. >> jonathan, that was a great report and obviously you got a close-up view on the air boat, what those border patrol agents are facing, overwhelming numbers of migrants crossing the border. thank you for the live report. jonathan hunt on the ground. griff: anita, for more on what law enforcement is seeing on the ground along our southern border. we are joined by the la hoya

chief. and you're there for the crisis. >> aing more than 2,000 apprehensions a day, up 500 plus percent and you're one of the small police departments trying to help add to the fight. what are you -- let me just start with where jonathan hunt left off. how are you doing with equipment? do you have the tools you need? >> we certainly do not and that is one of the problems, the funding to get equipment. you know, just being out there, it takes a toll on our equipment alone, our units, our utv's that we use to be out there and it takes a toll and that's one of the main problems that we're having right now. we're out there and this area that we're covering is not forgiving. it will tear up your cars or anything out there. >> in the heat of the summer

you've been all summer long, sergeant, what else is happening on the ground there that our viewers need to know. are you seeing any signs of this surge slowing down? is the demographics of what you're seeing every day changing? >> well, the signs of the surge slowing down, no, that's a no. there's no way. it continues. now, it may move sometimes where they're coming out of, but it doesn't stop. i mean, the -- they're literally coming in by the hundreds and i know that if you add up everything, it's in the thousands and our neighboring city is housing a large amount of these people because there's no where to put them. the ones that are covid positive, that's another problem that we run into. our officers have to take care of themselves and take precautions because we know it's out there and now with the delta variant, it causes more of a concern for us and for the community that we serve. >> and we had you on this

channel about a month ago when you broke this story there about the migrants being housed in a local hotel. there were positive covid walking around the local whataburger restaurant. has that situation gotten under control or is the positivity among migrants still a concern for the local population? >> the covid-19 concern is still something that the city of lahoya is taking seriously and i believe every city, it doesn't matter where you're at. you have to remember the migrants once they get processed they go all over our nation, they're going to be coming to a city near you soon. i don't care if you live in new york, in iowa, in arkansas, i don't care where it is, you're going to receive these people and some of them are being moved while they're still covid positive and possibly infecting people.

i'm not saying all, but majority are. >> quickly in the time left, the remain in mexico policy reinstated. has this had an impact on the border? >> certainly has. i ran into a family just a few days ago in the middle of the night that were running, and you know, they don't run, they come to us for assistance. we're the ones who go out there and do humanitarian rescues and everything else that we do, but now we're seeing people run from us and they have kids with them and when i asked one family in particular, why they were running. their response was, you're going to send me back to mexico. so that's why we're running. so now that's a concern. so now we have a lot of smuggling, human smuggling going across our city. we're actually apprehending a bunch of smugglers and they're being put in jail and these undocumented immigrants are

being turned over to border patrol. it has made a change. >> sergeant manny of the lahoya p.d., thank you for the insight. give your men and women a pat on the back for us. we know it's not easy. >> thank you. anita: august was a tough month for americans looking for jobs and the surge in coronavirus cases. we'll look at the state of labor this labor day coming up next. you founded your kayak company because you love the ocean- not spreadsheets. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire

>> well, the good news is the overall rate of unemployment dipped a little to 5.2% in august, but many were disappointed that just 325,000 jobs were created last month raising lots of questions about the economy and the labor market. here with some answers, macro trends advisor sounding partner and research fellow at the university school of business,

mitch rochelle and the co-host of a podcast. thanks for taking time and happy labor day to you. what do you make of these numbers? >> they were disappointed and not entirely unexpected, griff, fears of what the delta variant could potentially do the labor market came true. the economists tagged it 700,000 jobs plus. and not the first time they got it wrong. and looking at the expiring of the supplemental benefits. what happened a lot of businesses kicked the can down the road and thinking maybe we won't have employees get on airplanes and maybe cancel conferences and this was knee jerk because of the cases slowed because of the delta variant. griff: seven to nine million americans are going to lose

enhanced unemployment benefits on labor day, ironically, perhaps. what kind of impact is that going to have? >> you know, on this program, months ago, i projected that what would likely happen we'd see a massive uptick in hiring as those unemployment benefits expired, however, a recent study occurred and looked at red states that governors canceled the benefits and the blue states that kept them and doesn't make a difference. and i think into the workplace is one thing and the demand side of labor there are 10 million job openings out there. it's not a lack of opportunities. so i go back to what i said months ago, i think there are incentives to stay away from the work force as oppose today incentives to get people back to work. if they want to help the economy, create incentives to get back to work. griff: there are rumblings of

extending the enhanced benefits because of what we find ourselves in. if you look at the recent jobs report, bars and restaurants took a hit. leisure sector flat. what would extending those benefits do? would that have an impact? >> i think it would have a dramatic negative impact because you're providing an incentive to not work. there's already other incentives out there like the child care credit which basically is a form of universal basic income for people, which is a substitute for earned income, going out and getting a job so i don't think that extending those unemployment benefits is going to do anything to help the labor market and we need job creation because there's certainly people out there and one of the reasons why the unemployment rate fell is because more and more people are leaving the work force and that's not a good thing for a vibrant economy. we want people entering the work force. griff: not good at all and in the seconds we have left, mitch. what advice do you give to the

biden administration to try and get the recovery back on track facing the delta variant and the expiration of the benefits? >> i would focus on small business. they employ a third of the u.s. labor force, small businesses who have created more than five times, and encourage them to hire people back to work and that's the greatest thing to do to our economy, not printing money, finding ways for them to hire employees. griff: great insights and have a great labor day weekend. >> you, too. anita: he said 10 million job openings, that's a lot. griff: a lot indeed. anita: the battle to save homes and other properties around lake tahoe from major wildfires. that's next. were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber...

>> welcome back. and some good news, improving weather conditions have slowed the growth of a massive california wildfire near lake tahoe resort communities. calmer winds and increased humidity thursday and friday have allowed crews to contain the caldor fire at 29%, growing at the smallest rate in two

weeks. for the latest of weather conditions in the fire zone, we're joined by meteorologist adam klotz with your forecast. adam, it sounds like mother nature is cooperating out west. >> finally a little bit of good news, anita. we're still dealing with fire, but that raised humidity will help with the fight. we're looking at poor air quality across the region when you talk about the fires raging across the united states. it's not as bad as it's been throughout the course of the summer. now the underlying problem is that we're in a severe drought across the areas and unfortunately that's not about to change. humidity is good, but what we need is a whole lot of rain over the next rainy season when we get into the winter and we're way behind currently as you see large swaths of the western united states in that exceptional to extreme drought. where is the rain currently? it's not out west, you're still looking at dry conditions. really the only spot, as we head into this holiday weekend where we're tracking a little bit of rain activity does

happen to be running into the midwest. it's right where you're seeing a little bit after frontal boundary there. cool air to the north of air and spots in the 80's and 90's. if you live in the deep south where there's little bit of heat, but by and large it's comfortable. in the tropics, it's been an active season and one storm we're currently watching, maybe now a threat to spongebob's pineapple house. but in the next couple of days, we have to pay attention. it becomes a major hurricane by thursday, and close to bermuda and that's where we're watching. otherwise completely clear across the tropics, the only storm we'll pay attention to. i'll get to this, we're getting to the peak of the season and statistically we could see this. anita: keeping our eye on larry. all right, adam klotz in the weather center. griff: look out for larry.

griff: i'm griff jenkins fox news live. we have a jam-packed hour. we start with reminiscence of hurricane ida bringing historic flooding to the east. bryan llenas on the ground in new jersey but let's start with jeff paul down in new orleans, hi, jeff. jeff: yeah, griff, the president had a busy day after landing here in new orleans, not only did he get a chance to see the devastation up close here on the ground but he also got an aerial tour of all the devastation showing how widespread it is throughout the state of louisiana. one of those spots would be laprass, louisiana a town that is situated between lake and mississippi river. it kind of made bad spot as hurricane ida swept through the area, also many of them got flooded out. so folks right now simply just can't live inside. biden told those people impacted by the storm that he hears them

and he knows that they're hurting right now. he pledged to have their backs as they try to rebuild and says the moment like this goes beyond politics. >> this isn't about being a democrat or a republican. we are americans and we will get through this together. we just have to remember we not only have to build back, we have to build back better than it was before. jeff: now as the clock strikes noon here local time, you can probably hear the bells ringing in the french corridor. we are learning that the number of people died because of the storm is rising. the louisiana department of health announced an additional death at a nursing home from a nursing home patient who has evacuated bringing the total number of dead in the state to 11. hundreds of thousands also still do not have power throughout the state but crews from all over the country like neighboring state of texas are here now and working around the clock to get folks those utilities they desperately need.

>> months in order to restore the water, the last we heard from the electric company down here, they're looking at 4 to 6 weeks out before they could even think about starting to restore some of the grid. jeff: now in a sign that recovery efforts are moving in the right direction a drive-in today here to the french corridor of new orleans shows you that more people are out, businesses are starting to open up. you have things like traffic lights that are now operating but still a long way to go around 700,000 people throughout the state do not have power, griff. griff: jeff paul in new orleans, jeff, please do thank our friends at st. louis cathedral during amazing church bells, that was great stuff, thanks, jeff. all right, after causing severe damage in the south, ida brought historic flooding to the northeast, bryan llenas live in paterson, new jersey with the latest there, hi, bryan. reporter: bring, good afternoon, the reality is this is what

people will be doing in new jersey throughout their labor day weekend. that is cleaning up these cars. this car was completely submerged in about 6 feet of flood water. as you can tell, it's a total loss. many of the vehicles were submerged. people were trapped in them, in fact, the majority of deaths in new jersey of the 25 deaths happened with people stuck in their vehicles, they were swept away by flood waters. this car total loss and many cars like it. ryan hamilton over here, he's the owner of the salvage yard that's right in this area, you can see the flooding behind us. ryan, what's the damage like in your business right now? >> i was overwhelmed completely submerged, i thought i'd probably have 18 inches of water but actually when i did weight in 5 and a half foot inside the building. >> what are we talking about in terms of dollar amount and vehicles? >> loss is completely. there isn't anything

salvageable. i mean, the desktops, i'd thought i'd have phones toker-- monitors and i have lift equipment, scanners, tools, everything was completely submerged. reporter: will you be able to bounce back from this? >> i've been worse. i'm trying to lose the anxiety and come to grips and i would like to get back to work but as you can see we still have 2 and a half foot of water inside so we haven't got there yet. reporter: appreciate it. ryan said the water reached to the top of the stop sign. 5 and a half to 6 feet. take a look at this video. this is a basement in a home in cranford, new jersey, collapsing the wall of the basement.

once that happens, it fills up that basement in a matter of seconds. it is terrifying, you hear the screaming from the young man, he's trapped inside and so is his mother, he ends up surviving because he ends up poking a hole through ceiling tile and the mother holding onto a boiler inside of the basement and she manages to survive as well which is about 4 inches of water there between her and the ceiling. it's really remarkable. that just goes to show, griff, what we are talking about in terms of the water. the flash flooding happens within seconds and back here in new york city, for instance, we know that the majority of deaths happened in apartments that were actually built in basement dwellings and including a 2-year-old who died along with his participants. it happens just so quick and it's just another part of this, the tragedy that was this storm, griff. griff: terrifying video there, bryan llenas in paterson, new

jersey, bryan, thank you. >> so scary. well, hurricane ida hit louisiana hard with more than 650,000 people still without power and there was a dire need for humanitarian relief. it is times like this when americans come together. joining me now two gentlemen who are responding to the call for help from the people hit by ida, founder and president of mercy, gary lablant serving food in louisiana and we hope to have another guest maybe we will get him back in a minute. but gary, we want to talk to you about what you are doing to help people in louisiana. i know that you started an organization called mercy chef 16 years ago after hurricane katrina and now you're back at it again, tell us what you do there. >> well, we are feeding

high-quality hand-crafted chef prepared meals. we have been on the ground for six days, we have been feeding for five. we know that these folks just need encouragement and hope and mercy chefs is providing that in the form of a beautiful meal. anita: and i know that you've been in the restaurant industry for many years so tell us about what is it like to bring high-quality, restaurant-style meals to a massive amount of people, what is that operation like? we see pictures of volunteers handing out food. what is that massive undertaken like? >> well, it's a huge catering operation off-site. we have to bring in the kitchens, we have to bring in our own power and filter our own water. getting deliveries, our groceries come on tractor trailer trucks and our chefs are working from 4:00 in the morning and some of them don't get out

of the kitchen until 10:00 at night. they are sleeping on floors, they are enduring no air-conditioning quite often and we are just here in the midst to have greatest need. we think that something amazing happens over a shared meal. you and i do it as friends or family but to do it with someone that has just lost everything is a great honor and what we should be doing. anita: yeah, it is so important, a meal, food, a hot meal really changes everything when you're in such a dire situation like that and you're right. i want to bring in now our other guest that we had hoped to have, he's joining us now, jim mackingvale, he's the owner of gallery furniture. he's also known as mattress mac, you helped people during harvey,

what is it that you're doing to help people that have been displaced from their homes? >> we are gathering thousands of items of nonperishable foods, bottled water, baby products, fete food, lots of generators and so far we have delivered 30 truckloads of merchandise down to laplaz, louisiana and we are trying to get the desperately needed supplies of the people in louisiana in their darkest hour. anita: no kidding. we see the pictures there of the unloading of the supplies. why would they -- do they call you mattress m ac? >> because i sleep mattresses and i sleep great on one. anita: you're providing a place to sleep for tens of thousands who lost their home, what are you doing with the furniture gallery? >> we had refugees from new new

orleans sleep here and most are desperately trying to get back home and pick up the pieces, whatever part of louisiana they live in. it's a terrible tragedy and i concur with your guest earlier, something amazing happens when people gather, it's been happening that way for human beings for 800,000 years and we had a lot of hot meals over the several days and that seems to brighten their spirits because they are undergoing lots of trauma. anita: hot meal and place to stay are so important. i actually was on the ground 16 years ago in new orleans covering hotel katrina and we were lucky enough to get hot meal and hotel room. gary, you have been in the restaurant industry for many years, you are continuing now, what is it different now, you provided the relief after hurricane katrina, how is it

different again, are you 16 years better? >> i hope we are. we worked really hard over the 16 years and we've fed over 17 million people in those years. anita: incredible. >> we have learned quite a lot and to be back in new orleans. we are doing everything that we can with the resources we pulled together. yesterday over 20,000 hot meals and today over 20,000 hot meals and locations in greater area, golden meadow and hamon and laplaz, mercy chefs is sending food out as much as we can to every place. anita: incredible, incredible work. jim, i want to give you the final thought here. what do you say to people and what's the look on their face when you're able to provide them with -- with items and things that they need, what do you say to people?

>> i think adversity brings us all together. we forget about our political needs and think about helping people just like meals and mercy doing such a great down in new orleans and adversity brings us together and what we learned in hurricane harvey in houston and what they learned in new orleans during katrina and now ida is tough times and louisiana residents are incredibly resilient, they will get through this and we will all get through this together. anita: such an important point. there's no room for politics in a crime of crisis like that when you need a place to stay and something to eat. thank you both so much for joining us, thank you for giving people food and shelter and hope in a time of crisis. i know the country appreciates it. thank you so much. >> thank you. griff: president biden continues to vow to get everybody out. leave no american left behind that's his commitment but unclear exactly how that would work without any u.s. military

presence on the ground. we have live team coverage, ryan in london and david spunt in wilmington, delaware where the president is spending the weekend and that's where we begin with david, hi. david: griff, hello, good afternoon to you, it's been almost a week since last american soldier took off, left afghanistan, more than 100,000 people were able to leave that country, many of them desperate to just get out of there no matter what country they ended up in but still there are many people in the country that want to leave including americans. griff, secretary of state antony blinken made it clear that the united states is still in contact somewhat with taliban leaders to help get american citizens out if they want out. the secretary of state says there are some circumstances where you have dual nationals that may prefer to stay below the radar in kabul and surrounding cities and then make a move when they want to. >> we are in very regular

contact with relatively small number of american citizens who remain in afghanistan and indicated that they are interested in leaving. and we have dedicated teams assigned to each of these american citizens to be in congress substantiate contact with them. we are providing them with very tailored, very specific guidance. >> bill clintonen himself will head to doha, qatar tomorrow. the u.s. diplomatic corp based in kabul for the past 20 or so years in doha. the secretary of state will not be meeting with taliban officials but wants to see if that potentially changes. meanwhile the president escaped washington, d.c. for the weekend but the constant criticism of his decision to withdraw troops and not bring home all americans continues to follow him.

listen here. >> we have evacuated tens of thousands of afghans who had no clear or direct connection to american troops and who we really have no idea who they are or ability to vet them. david: speaking of vetting alejandro mayorkas was asked about vetting and concerns of people coming over here and what the vetting process is like. >> we have a robust vetting process if and when we obtain derogatory information, we know how to address that, those muscles are very well exercised. david: facing a decline in his approval ratings over this afghanistan crisis and the withdrawal, president biden not only doubling, tripling and in many cases quadrupling in his decision to get out before 9/11.

griff: anita. anita: heavy clashes, that's how the situation has been described as the taliban fights opposition in one of the last strongholds in northern afghanistan. ryan shilko live from london with the details, hi, ryan. reporter: hi, anita, yeah, the taliban is in control of nearly all of afghanistan as you know, but there has been one last very strong pocket of resistance, one patch of land that has not been under the control of the taliban for these last couple of weeks. the area is called the puncture valley, to the north of the capital kabul and today the taliban, at least some taliban officials are saying that they are in control of that area. this video purports to show taliban in the vicinity of the valley, note the hump v by the way next to the taliban, that's

equipment the u.s. gave the government of afghanistan to fight the taliban and now at the disposal of the taliban. the so-called afghan resistance, however, says they are in control. afghan resistance meaning members of the former government and fighters who moved into this patch of land when the taliban took cattle. they were hold up there when the taliban in power between 1995 and 2001 and it is from there that they began their triumphant move to kabul when the military teamed up with them after 9/11. to prove the point that they are still there and control, the former afghan vice president, one of the former president ghani's right-hand man, looked to have been shot in puncture valley and uploaded on the internet friday. that doesn't appear to have spooked the taliban, one afghan news agency is reporting that 17

people were killed by celebratory gunfire, ie, taliban shooting into the air to celebrate alleged victory. 17 people just in kabul alone today after reports spread that the taliban had taken the puncture valley. that's something that we can't confirm but some taliban officials are saying. remember, these two groups had been fighting one another for more than two decades. meanwhile in kabul a group of afghan women attacked by taliban fight erstwhile protesting for their rights saturday. the taliban fire intoed the air and used teargas bringing their demonstration, the second of its kind in many days to an abrupt end. what rights women will have under the taliban is a huge unknown as you know. the taliban says they will have the right to work and right to go to school but that is not a given and the reality, anita, that we just don't know. we still don't have an official government in afghanistan.

the taliban says they will announce official leaders in the coming days and it's then we are hoping we will learn their policies, anita. anita: a lot we still don't know on what's happening on the ground. ryan, thank you so much for the live report. well, we have exclusive video of joint chiefs of staff chair mark milley visiting afghan refugees at air force in germany today where thousands await transfer to the u.s. you can see much more of this plus an exclusive interview with general milley by fox news national security correspondent jennifer griffin, that airs today at 4:00 p.m. eastern on fox news live. griff. griff: anita face mask versus students. ongoing debate coming

i'm a parent of second grader and comes up all of the time with the other moms. now the biden administration is using federal civil rights office to block federal mask mandate ban in schools. i want to read something in an interview on wednesday, education secretary miguel cardona said this, he said like the president, quote, he was appalled that there are adults who are blind to their blindness, that there are people putting policies in place and putting students and staff at risk and at the end of the day we shouldn't be having this conversation, what we are dealing with now is negligence. i thought it was a free country? why can't we have this conversation? >> that's exactly right. well, to begin there are no federal civil rights laws or laws that require everyone in the school to wear masks among students, right. if a governor and state government which is ultimately responsible for the public safety of their citizens.

if the governor and the state government such as let's say ron desantis in florida says that we want to let the parents decide whether or not their children wear masks and not school board members, then well within the rights of the governors to make that decision. there's nothing in the federal law at all that says that governors are not allowed to ban mask mandates in counties or in local school districts. that's simply not the law. so what you really have here is the biden administration is again trying to use as bully pulpit and pr strategies to talk about an issue that is baseless. anita: let's read what the department of education has to say in this. let's put that up on the screen on investigating banning mask mandates. state masks restrictions on schools and school districts may be preventing schools from meeting legal obligations not to discriminate based on disability and provide equal education opportunity with students with disabilities that are at

heighten risk of severe illness from covid-19. that's their stance. let's take a listen to parents on both sides of this issue. take a listen. >> i've experienced firsthand with my toddler, it was very difficult. there's -- breathing issues and it's just uncomfortable. they look -- my child says to me, i'm wearing a mask because i don't want other people to be mad at me. >> the return of school can become a super spreader. the reason for the mask is not a fashion choice, it is not a political statement. anita: okay, so mark, let me get your thoughts on that quickly before we turn to another topic. >> sure. at the end of the day we live in a free society, parents have the ultimate say in how their children are raised and how to keep them safe. it's not about school boards or principals that make that decision. we still live in a free society and not in a nanny state. you can have a disagreement about policy but at the end of

the day the decisions in these school districts or in the counties often made by the state government. that would be the governors and the state legislatures, that's how it occurred all throughout 2020 where the governors had tremendous authority and power to set public policy and keep in mind public health is very important and all the decisions involve economic considerations, health considerations, mental health considerations, the future of how the kids grow up. these are a lot of considerations that require balancing of interest and that is done in our democratic society by our elected officials and not by let's say bureaucrats that play for center for disease control who ultimately give advice but at the end of the day the elected officials in the state must make decisions because they are accountable to we the people. anita: yeah, we will see what happens there. the debate continuing on as the school year start. mark smith, thank you so much for your insight today, really

appreciate it. griff. griff: anita, federal health officials are telling the white house to scale back covid-19 booster shots until later this month this as coronavirus cases continue to climb across the country. charles watson has the latest from the pandemic live in atlanta. hey, charles. charles: hi, griff, both fda and cdc only collected enough data to suggest only a certain portion of the population would benefit from a booster shot and what evidence both agencies have so far is only limited to those folks who took the pfizer vaccine according to new york times fda commissioner janet woodcook and contrary to president biden's plan to get

every vaccinated adult as soon as this month. its position on booster shots is taking on plenty of scrutiny following reports that two fda officials will step down in the coming weeks after it looked like the white house's plan would move forward without the full support of the agencies' advisory committee but with the delta variant overwhelming hospitals and contributing to more than 150,000 daily new infections in the u.s., national institute of health director dre still thinks offering public booster shots is a good bet. >> i'm sympathetic for folks of the fda and cdc that are under timetable here but that's what we have to do to try to protect the american public. charles: boxing legend oscar de la hoya withdrawing from ufc champion and de la hoya is hospitalized with covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated. he addressed his condition on

twitter what would have been his first fight since retirement in 2008. >> what are the chances of me getting covid, i've been taking care of myself. charles: griff, de la hoya may be battling a tough fight with covid right now but he says he's confident that he will be back in the ring before the end of the year. griff: we will be pulling for him. charles watson live for him in atlanta, charles, thank you. coming up, we will take you out west where california's recall vote is set a week from tuesday. we will check in to replace democrat governor gavin newsom. ♪ ♪ ♪

the wall street journal reporting that many are upset of homeless population. thank you so much for that report, christina coleman live from los angeles. and we will have more on the california recall on sunday, radio talk show host and republican candidate larry elder will join howard kurtz on media buzz at 11:00 a.m. eastern. griff: and for more on the humanitarian preresponse to the victims of hurricane ida joining us emergency disaster service's director for alabama, louisiana and mississippi's division, william trueblood, mr. trueblood thank you for all that the salvation army does. you have been doing it for a long time but specifically what are you doing now? >> we have been doing it for a long time. we've actually been part of every major disaster in the united states since 1900. right now we had boots on the

ground within 1 hour of the storm passing out -- passing up through the baton rouge area and as soon as it was safe for all of us to pass, we immediately got all of our teams mobilized. we got down there as quick as we could and we currently have about 39 feeding units that are being used to go in and around baton rouge, gonzales, new orleans to try to get as much food that we can to people and ensure that nobody goes to bed hungry if we can help it. griff: william, you're not just in the south but all the way to the northeast, you have units there as well. >> yes. our units up there are also responding to the flooding up there and the flooding can bring with it a lot of other complications and they are working really hard, diligently up in the north and the northeast specifically to make sure they are meeting the needs

of the people, the feeding as well as anything else they are looking for in order to get past this time. griff: william, what are the biggest challenges, power outages? >> we were just down in homa yesterday and we were able to see the trees knocked over onto homes, the roofs missing, the telephone phones uprooted but if you drive to baton rouge or louisiana you find the families sitting on porches that are just outside because it's cooler to be outside than it is inside without the air-conditioning. and so we are having a chance to see a lot of the neighborhoods come together and work with each other. some of the people came out yesterday and just told us, you were the same group that were out here during katrina feeding us and so blessed. griff: 16 years later. glad you are there. a few seconds left. how can people help? >> well, if they need help, they can reach out to 1800salv army

and if they want to donate text give to 5000 for 10-dollar one-time donation or help can have salvationarmy.org and click down on hurricane ida relief and give whatever they can and we would really appreciate it. griff: help can have salvationarmy.org, it's on the bottom of the screen, thank you william trueblood, anita. anita: osaka may leave the courts one gram of sugar, and now with two new flavors!

after last night's loss at u.s. open to 18-year-old lala fernandez, osaka spoke during press conference apologizing for losing cool and throwing rackets, she explained the stress and the sadness that she feels after loss that it just doesn't feel manageable anymore. >> this is very hard to articulate. basically i feel like i'm kind of at this point where i'm trying to figure out what i want to do. honestly, i don't know when i'm going to play my next tennis match. alex: emotional moment there and because of her mental state she pulled out of the french open, slapped with 15,000-dollar fine for not speaking to the media and skipped wimbledon, decisions for which she faced large deal of criticism in the last year. mental health experts on the other hand are championing her decision last night to now put her piece of mind again one of

griff: women in the country protest for equal rights, joining us now to discuss what's next for afghan citizens and americans trapped in afghanistan is louisiana talk radio show host and democratic strategist and ceo of dmg global david

morrie. gentlemen, thank you for taking the time. happy labor day to you. let's jump over the debate over afghanistan and 5 days since the u.s. withdrawal and the administration won't say if a single one if 100 to 200 americans stranded have gotten out. let's start with you, david, what do you say? david: we have to get them out. that's priority number 1. this gets to president biden's confidence. i advise the campaign but i haven't advised them on afghanistan. you see that in the new polling, only 3 and 10 americans support the withdrawal, the way it was done. this is a bigger issue for the administration, four administrations, four u-turns, that's one of the lessons americans will learn, one strategy and you have to to

stick with it and this is a painful way to learn the lesson. griff: jeff, what do you say, that this become, debacle in the evacuation, has become political liability for president biden? >> definitely. i don't think president biden will ever recover from this, griff. he turns everything he touches into a disaster, whether it'd be the economy, whether it'd be the border, whether it'd be energy but this is the worst of the worst. i mean, did want to leave afghanistan after 20 years but the way this president did it is an abomination, griff. he left without our americans. he left hundreds of americans as hostage and these are terrorists. this isn't some civilized government and these are terrorists that we have been fighting for 20 years. i do not trust the taliban. no one should trust the taliban. these are people who could harm our americans and also the afghans who worked with us,

women's rights would be impossible for the regime. this is one of the worst disasters in american history. joe biden, griff, is responsible for this. griff: david, the administration in fairness to them are saying, we will watch what the taliban does and not what they say and if history is a prelude it doesn't work well particularly for women. what were you advised to democrats right now, does this have political ramifications in the midterms? >> it does, but i think jeff is exaggerating. he can recover from this. it is a setback for the administration and policy problem but bigger than one administration and donald trump said the deadline and i think that should have taken a different course but they did not. you have to give them credit for getting 123,000 people out over

ten days in unprecedented historical evacuation but there are 77% of the american people want out of afghanistan. so that's something that i think jeff is neglecting. >> jimmy carter never recovered from the iranian hostage in iran. this is ten times worst than that. griff: why, why is it worst? we don't have hostages yet but we don't have americans out. >> okay. griff: why do you say it's worst? >> they are hostages because they can't leave on their own accord. they are being held there against their will. you know every one of those americans want to leave afghanistan but they are being prevented by terrorists and remember these are terrorists, these are killers, these are seventh century barbarians who stone people and behead people. they do not believe in women's rights. these are not people that we can work with, okay. this is a regime that is

illegitimate and we have been fighting them for 20 years, griff, for a very good reason. they are the enemy. griff: thank you for taking time. we have run out of time at the end of the hour. thank you very much, have a great labor day weekend. >> thank you. griff: anita. anita: that was a great segment, look at us. this is our first time cohosting together but you know we actually met 16 years ago covering hurricane hurricane and there we are, baby griff, baby anita. griff: that's right. katrina was my first hurricane and i think i've covered just about every major one since then. you know, you really do learn a lot about people and about the realities of -- of the situation on the ground covering hurricanes like that. in fact, two years after hurricane dorian my side-view mirror is still duck-taped to my surf truck.

anita: we heard a lot about what people are going through suffering from the hurricanes. we have seen it firsthand and there's another one in the gulf. i know that you have your bag packed in your house. they might call on you and tropical storm larry is out there. >> both anita and i suffered from the bug that bites you sometimes when you cover the stories because they are so important. anita: this right here, in new areas, the split i10, look at those cars. massive flooding there. griff: i remember it well 16 years ago. great job. thanks, that's all for us this hour. fox news live continues with alicia acuña and mike emanuel. i'm griff jenkins. anita: and i'm anita vogul, thanks for watching. ♪ ♪
